SUWANEE - Suwanee residents will pay a slightly lower property tax rate in 2006.City Council members approved the 2006 budget of $11.6 million that reflects a millage rate decrease by 0.04 to 5.77. Suwanee has reduced property taxes for three straight years for a total of .22 mills. More than half of Suwanee's revenue, 54 percent, comes from property taxes. Business taxes represent 13 percent. Each year for the next four years, SPLOST will provide $1.5 million in funds. Intergovernmental grants is Suwanee's lowest source of revenue at 0.6 percent. The budget funds three new employees - an area manager to support the Downtown Development Authority, an environmental planner and a part-time accounting analyst. An allocated $36,000 will hire an inmate labor crew from the Gwinnett County Correctional Institute for six months of parks and roadside maintenance. For the first time in its history, Suwanee will begin a benefit retirement system for all full-time employees through the Georgia Municipal Association. The program's initial costs total $345,000 with future costs anticipated at $161,000. The city will also lease four new police cruisers, new computer software, and new public works equipment, including a bucket truck, park vacuum, zero-turn radius mower and a pickup truck for codes enforcement. Suwanee will spend the largest chunk of cash, 37 percent, on public safety in 2006, and the least, 2 percent, on culture and recreation. Suwanee has some debt from the $17.7 million bond funds purchase that voters approved in 2001 for the creation of city parks and open space, and $1.2 million will be paid toward that debt in 2006. That payment is covered by revenues generated by the interest on investments. Approximately $3.8 million remains in the open space fund, of which $1 million is set aside to begin work on the Sims Lake Park. In March 2005, Suwanee paid off - eight years early - a separate $1.5 urban redevelopment loan used to purchase 13 acres on which the mixed-use Town Center is being built. The early loan pay-off saved Suwanee $1.4 million over the course of eight years.

Hi James,
It doesn't sound too hopeful, does it? Check if the iMac you have is one with a mini DVI output on it. If so, you might try connecting an external monitor to see if that works. If it does, the graphics chipset is working fine and the screen has failed (most likely explanation). You can phone an Apple service centre (edit: No pushing your warez! Ric_) and they'll give you a repair estimate, but I don't think replacement screens are particularly cheap, I'm afraid.

NAPLES, Fla. - A neighborhood is on alert after burglars broke into a home in broad daylight yesterday. The burglars stole $27 thousand worth of cash and jewelry from a home on High Pines Drive.
"Our neighborhood is so safe," said the homeowner Holly Shapiro.
That's why Shapiro was couldn't believe that someone smashed in her sliding glass door and burglarized her home.
"I called 911 and they said get out of the house there may be still be someone in there," said Shapiro.
But, the burglars had left. They took $27-thousand worth of cash and jewelry with them.
"It's sentimental stuff," said Shapiro. "You don't want that stolen."
Shapiro had just returned from vacation and didn't have a chance to put her jewelry back in her safe. Yesterday, she also forget to set her alarm.
"I didn't think and I was rushing to meet my girlfriend for lunch," said Shapiro.
Now, the entire neighborhood is on alert and Shapiro said she'll never forget to lock up her jewelry or set her alarm ever again.
"It was a huge wake up call for us, our friends, everybody," said Shapiro.
Police have not made any arrests, yet.

After figuring out why they should write a book or e-book, it seems this is one of the most common questions people ask me. They may have a topic in mind but don't think they know enough or don't consider themselves "expert" enough to write a book. I once read that if you know more about a subject than someone else, you're an expert.
What you should write about will be determined by the purpose of your book or e-book. I generally ask potential clients to complete my questionnaire, and the first question is: what is the purpose of your book — for you? The second question is: what is the purpose of the book — for your reader? Too few authors, it seems, have answered these questions for themselves before embarking on their book writing adventure.
If you answer these questions you'll get clarity on what to write about. For example, if the purpose of writing a book or e-book for you is to attract clients and serve as a lead generator, the topic should be the area of expertise or knowledge surrounding the service or product you provide. The book will position you as an expert in this industry and build your brand.
If the purpose is to create passive profits, you might want to write about a subject you know is hot and that people want to know about. You might consider researching a subject area that's new to you but in which you've always had an interest. If you want to add more products to build a steady stream of passive income, you might want to plan an e-book, audio recording, e-course, and other info-products, all to the same market or on the same subject.
And if your motivation is to impact others with your wisdom and experience, write about solutions to the common problems your target market has. They will appreciate your advice and become followers and supporters. They'll want to purchase your other products and services as well. And you'll be able to help so many more people than you can with your one-on-one service.
You might also do research in your target niche or a new one to see what's been written and where there's a void that you might fill. People need answers to their questions and problems that are practical and easy to understand from someone who has experience and is an expert.
So, now what would you like to write about?

Hornblower will make its Canadian presence known
Send this to a friend
- James Fink
- Buffalo Business First Reporter- Buffalo Business First
- Email | Twitter
Terry MacRae is seeing red.
As in "Maple Leaf Red."
Among the many decisions that Hornblower Cruises & Events Inc. had to make as it prepares to start its Hornblower Niagara Cruises this spring from Niagara Falls, Ont., was what color will the slickers be for passengers aboard the tour boats.
"It was an easy decision," said MacRae, Hornblower CEO. "To me, there was only one color — Maple Leaf Red."
For generations, passengers who rode the Maid of the Mist boats all got blue slickers to help keep themselves dry from the Niagara Falls' mist and splashing water. MacRae said he wanted a different color for his company's slickers.
"I looked at the Canadian flag and knew immediately what color we should have," MacRae said while touring Hornblower's docks and one of the 700-passenger catamarans his company will operate from the Canadian shoreline.
San Francisco-based Hornblower was awarded a 30-year contract to run tour boats from the former Maid of the Mist docks by the Niagara Parks Commission. The Maid of the Mist tour boats will continue to operate from the American side of Niagara Falls. This year will mark the first time ever that competing tour boat operators will be running separate companies from either side of Niagara Falls.
What that means is, potentially, as many as seven tour boats could be taking passengers to the base of Niagara Falls this year and beyond.
"Hopefully, we are not all on the same path at the same time," MacRae said.
As far as reaching out to the Maid of the Mist Steamboat Co., MacRae said that hasn't happened. Hornblower's focus is on its own operations.
"So far as I know, they are satisfied with their strategy and we are satisfied with ours," MacRae said.
Running tour boats is Hornblower's forte. Last year, the company handled more than 17 million passengers in San Francisco and New York City, as well as other locations. MacRae said Hornblower's business plan is based on the company handling between 1.6 million and 2 million passengers in Niagara Falls.
Hornblower will operate a pair of 120-ton, 700-passenger catamarans and a 149-passenger boat that's geared for private parties and special events. Each ride will last around 30 minutes. The boats will be equipped with such amenities as a bar, dry zones and bathrooms. The custom-designed steel and aluminum catamarans, made by Hike Metals of Wheatley, Ont., are powered by 700 horsepower, diesel-fueled engines.
MacRae said each ship will be manned by as many as seven crew members. In all, Hornblower will have a peak summer employment of more than 150 people.
The crews are training now, using the 149-passenger ship, in the Welland Canal.
"It is probably more important for the captains to know their ships than anything else," MacRae said.
With one catamaran nearly 90 percent assembled on Hornblower's Canadian site and the other 700-passenger boat due to arrive soon — in pieces, before being put together in the lower Niagara Gorge, MacRae hopes to have the boats in the Niagara River once the ice breaks up and so the captains and crew can get used to the currents and how the boats react. Shakedown, training runs will likely begin by late March.
In the meantime, bookings are coming in at a faster than anticipated pace. Popular, especially with tour operators, are the evening cruises tied into fireworks displays and special illumination nights. Individual online bookings start this weekend.
Lee Carr, Hornblower director of sales, marketing and retail, said foreign groups have already accounted for more than 25 percent of Hornblower's bookings.
"Overall, we are in good shape," MacRae said.

" she be four eyes "
A long time ago in an era untouched by reality show drivel, MTV aired videos, and the network had people called VJs who would serve as an intermediary between viewers and said music videos. Some of them became legends. The names of the original lineup featuring Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter and JJ Jackson still evoke nostalgic memories for people of my age group. Yes, I'm old.
Anyway, one of the stalwarts from the 1990s era of video jockeying was Kennedy, an outrageous, nerdish and entertaining young lady who was just alternative enough without trying to be she became a cult hero to "Daria" fans all over the country, possibly inspiring the likes of geek goddesses such as Olivia Munn.
Kennedy has written a book about her heady experiences as a household name way back when entitled "The Kennedy Chronicles" . In it, she regales readers with a story about how Michael Jordan, then a member of the Chicago Bulls and now the majority owner and chairman of the Charlotte Bobcats, apparently tried to win her virginity during a game of dice.
Via TMZ:
Kennedy — who was a huge MTV VJ back in the '90s — details the encounter in her new book "The Kennedy Chronicles" … explaining how she was having dinner with MJ and Russell Simmons at the Bowery Bar in NYC, when Michael broke out some dice.
Before long, Kennedy says, Jordan decided it was "time to play for something" … and said, "If I win, you come back to my hotel room with me tonight."
Kennedy says she freaked out because she was a virgin … so she asked if they could play for Knicks tickets instead.
And that's when Jordan allegedly reminded Kennedy he had a wife — and offered her Nets tickets as a consolation.
As Mike Jordan told me one time about Kennedy.......

What's up with spice wimps in this town?
As a former Texan who enjoys a little heat in my food, I'm pretty frustrated trying to order spicy cuisine here.
Last night, my partner and I got the Ibiza bocadillo at Meza on Capitol Hill, which comes advertised thusly: "Fresh and spicy like this island in the south of Spain, a sandwich of seared scallops, jalapeños, lettuce, and fresh garlic aioli." Our waiter even warned us that it was spicy and we assured him that we knew and wanted that.
It had no discernible heat! None.
I even picked out one of the alleged jalapeños and ate it separately. Zip. I've gotten more kick from certain sweet peppers. Where on earth do they find capsaicin-free jalapeños?
This has happened to us at a variety of restaurants in Seattle. I routinely order "5 stars" at Indian, Thai and other Asian restaurants (and re-assure them that I really mean it), in order to get heat that would be a 1 or 2-star level in Texas or D.C.
WTF? Who taught all the restaurants that we're a bunch of spice wimps?
And any tips for getting the heat you need in this town?
"Where on earth do they find capsaicin-free jalapeños?"
Texas A&M, of course :-(. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Mild...
These bland 'chiles' were developed for the bottled salsa market *cough*Pace*Old El Paso*cough* and have thoroughly infested supermarkets all over the western US.
re: DiveFan
Interesting. I sometimes get jalapenos with no spice, while other times I get them that have plenty of spice, at the store. I always try a little piece raw first to see if I'm dealing with the no spice or regular kind before using them. But I just assumed it was something to do with the growing cycle, the way that, say, oranges can be sweet and juicy or dry and not so sweet. I wonder if stores knowingly order these but don't label them spice free for the consumer.
re: DiveFan
A cynic, I suspect genetic engineering, but time in El Paso, where jalapeno is nearly staple, taught me to expect much varability in jalapeno. We often got lunch at a local truck-stop with a good salad bar (uncommon there). We brought along a newcomer one day, and, when he saw me taking several on my plate, did the same. Not noticing that I had taken a tiny bite and spent a few moments with the experience before proceeding to chomp, big-time, he went straight to the chomping. Poor boy. I fear I ruined his experience of Texas.
In our experience, if you are not asian, you will initially have a hard time getting served really spicy food in Asian restaurants because of one too many experiences with people ordering food, saying they want it spicy and then pitching a fit when it is. That said, when you have been someplace more than once and demonstrated your ability to eat things that are not americanized, try telling the waiter you want it spicy like if a Chinese person would order it or "indian spicy" or what have you. Works pretty well for me. Also helps to be able to say I like it spicy in which ever language.
That said, if you are driving around in the Stanwood area, there is a restaurant that actually has seriously spicy chicken wings. Its called Leatherheads.
re: jenn
I think that's good advice. I've seen that happen, where people order spicy then complain when it's too spicy. I think it happens a lot. I don't have any trouble getting spicy food, but I'm a regular at the Szechuan and Thai places I like. I didn't have to become a regular at Noodle Boat to get truly spicy food there, so if you're desperate, you might try them.

re: jenn
If you're looking for hot, try Jai Thai in Fremont (http://www.jaithairestaurant.com), which has an 'adventurous' menu that is really awesome...BTW I think their other food is great too. I'm a white guy (grew up in Hawai'i, raised by Texans so I'm all culturally messed up) and was able to get them to serve me the Country Curry Thai Hot. The only person who worked there that said it wasn't quite hot enough to be Thai Hot was the only person actually from Southern Thailand...which is evidently where the really hot food is.
I do go there frequently, but if you chat them up (and this is a general rule for me when eating any cuisine) about the food before ordering, they'll serve it to you however you'd like it.
Jai Thai
543 NE Northgate Way Ste I, Seattle, WA 98125
re: Thiggy78
+1 on jai thai.
+1 on it being incredibly difficult to get truly spicy food here.
+1 on saying "Thai Hot." You could always ask for a little minced bird chile on the side, maybe in a little condiment dish with some fish sauce.
re: eight_inch_pestle
or BYOH(ot). My favorite butcher and hot sauce purveyor sells Tabasco bottles small enough to slip in the breast pocket of your dinner jacket. Or keep a little bottle of hot chile oil in your purse.
I am also a former Texan and I very much agree with you. Spice as in heat is not much up here. In addition, spice as in big, strong, bold flavors is also not favored, such as in reviews. I have found that if a local reviewer says something is too overwhelming, I will probably like it.
That said, I have not had a problem with non-spicy 5 star Asian food. I do agree that context makes a huge difference. When we order Indian, I can pronounce it all correctly, but my husband can't (over the phone). We get discernably different levels of spice depending on who calls. I do think asking for "Indian spicy" may help.
Finally, I have definitely noticed that the jalapenos available in the stores over the past year or so are larger and way too mild. We are growing our own peppers now!
re: cocktailhour
I, too, have found unreliable the heat levels in fresh jalapenos here. I buy the serranos now...or even the thai chilis for more reliable 'heat' in my cooking.
re: JohnnyT
I'm all for moderation. In fact, I consider myself a spice moderate. I've known some spice freaks who ask for "10 stars" at places that'll really sock it to you and then add more from the condiments section. I'm not one of those people. It just seems that the whole scale has shifted here and the default setting is no heat, even on dishes labeled "spicy."
I imagine the true spice freaks just have to raid the pepper section at QFC and cook their own.
re: jjmccoy
Is 'spicy' synonymous with capsicum heat?
The, now defunct, Szechuan Beanflower had a butt-kicking Water Boiled Beef. I do not know if that chef's new joint, Szechaun 99, does, but it's worth asking. Seems to me somebody recommended a particular special menu there?... to get the fiery stuff. Posters here are mostly right, our Scandanavian heritage left out some important flavors, but several are still seen in Chinatown.
re: mrnelso
How about Korean places?
re: mrnelso
The 2 Szechwan flagships in Seattle - Bamboo Garden and Szechwan 99 will deliver the spice upon request. Although I've heard complaints about food censoring when ordering-while-not-Mandarin-speaking.
Bamboo Garden
202 106th Pl NE, Bellevue, WA 98004
I 'd suggest that you ask for the spice tray at any thai restaurant you go to. It usually has 4 different kinds of spicy condiments, the hottest being the thai chilis in fish sauce.
I've found that asking for hot sauce and doctoring them up on your own is the only sure-fire way to get the super spicy taste one is looking for.
re: soypower
If you ask them to make whatever your ordered with fresh chilis (normally they'll use chili flakes to cut down the heat), they'll do that and it will make the dish substantially hotter. I usually order my food with fresh chilis and then ask for the spice tray as a fallback (and because I love those chilis in the fish sauce).
I suspect that, as a city, we are not much different than many others. There is a perception that most, if not all people, cannot handle the heat (which is what I believe you mean by using the term spice). This is, obviously, untrue, but tends to be the rule around many restaurants. It is too bad, but predictable.
I, too, have the friends that go for the "15 stars" at Thai places. One place that I've found that is predictable every time is the Thai Siam on 15th and 83rd in Ballard/Crown Hill. They only go to 4 stars. 3 stars comes with a warning and is plenty hot. The quality of the chow can be a little hit or miss, but if it is on it is good.

re: BallardFoodie
According the owner of Pok Pok, a Thai place in Portland, Americans have problems with the funky, fermented Thai ingredients, than with the heat.
This is from an interview with him on The Splendid Table last year.
Maybe Portland is the place to go to prove how spicy hot you can take your food.
re: BallardFoodie
Ballard Foodie makes a good point. I hadn't thought about it before, but I've eaten Thai/Asian/Mexican/New Mexican/spicy cuisines in general all over the US, and I don't find Seattle restaurants any less spicy than anywhere else. I don't find the Thai in LA's Thaitown or Mexican in SoCal particularly spicy, and it's probably because they were cooking for an American blonde. It's probably about getting to be a regular at most places.
re: christy319
It's all personal experience and perception, of course, but I have found less spice (as in overall intensity of flavor) and less heat (spicy hot) in Seattle as compared to similar styles in Texas. The low bar for spice/heat in Texas is higher--that is, your standard dish, before asking for extra spicy or anything. you can get things 0 or 1 star here, and the equivalent is not in Texas.
There are two places on the East side that might suit you. One is the fairly new Spicy Talk Bistro in Redmond. http://www.yelp.com/biz/spicy-talk-bi...
There is also Spiced in Bellevue http://www.yelp.com/biz/spiced-bellevue
My husband grew up in Phoenix and loves hot and spicy food and does not think anything is hot and he was pleased with the spice level at these places. It is not just heat too - they do know how to balance the heat.
Bick's has an awesome fire roasted habanero and jalapeno app.
Bick's Broadview Grill
10555 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98133
Just got back from Jolly Roger Taproom, where I ate "Fritters of Fury" (Habanero fritters). They were a mite gummy, but with fair flavor and real heat.
This got me thinking about other hot items in town:
At the Wingdome, on Greenwood, the main menu offers wings in several heat levels, like 1-2-3-4-5, from mild to hot. Even bigger numbers are on a different menu page altogether. As I remember, #7 was made with ground Habanero seeds - OMG - and is the hottest thing I ever ate in my life: I cried. I moaned. I writhed. I think I remember a fetal position, somehow.
Tetsu Hellfire, at Samurai Noodle, is also quite good - flavorful and fiery. Nearby, Green Village has a spicy (loaded with garlic heat) noodle bowl that is no shrinking violet.
The inscrutably-named Water Boiled Beef at the defunct Szechuan Beanflower was loaded with beefy flavor and, though served cold, was fiery hot. The chef moved on to become Szechuan 99, barely in Lynnwood. Maybe he still offers this. I hear, also, that you will encounter protective resistance to real Szechuan heat, there.

re: mrnelso
The Jolly Roger Taproom is back open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just made my weekend. I missed them so much!
One of our favorite budget eats is the food court at the Alderwood HMart (combined with a grocery shopping trip). I've been sampling various Korean dishes from one of the shops, some mild, some spicier. Today I had the spicy seafood noodle platter from the Noodle House (Chinese). While the noodle dish was not super hot, the kimchee side dish was refreshingly cool by contrast. Seems the favorite items from the Noodle House are a black beans noodles and spicy seafood noodle soup combo (which comes in a large divided bowl).
I don't think it's just here in seattle, it's all over the country. Spicy, as in kick your a** hot seems to be what you want, and well that might not be the point of the heat spices in the food you are ordering. That siad, I've had hot-spicy food at the litle Lao-Thai place on MLK and certain dishes at Schezuan (sp) Cuisine on Jackson, like the Boiled Schezuan Fish can be intensely spicy. I grew up traveling in Asia and eating authentic Mexican and when I first moved here I missed the big kick .. but honestly have felt that the need for super hot left me missing on some of the nuance.
re: eight_inch_pestle
I've noticed that when I order "som tum" extra spicy, the heat level is always higher than if I order "green papaya salad". Sad but true.
Rom Mai Thai has some good spicy food, just make sure you tell them "thai spice". When we ordered we said 4 or 5 stars and they asked if we wanted it "thai spice" so we said sure, and should've realized when our server said "you want thai spice..wow" we were in for a treat. Well, it was too spicy for me (and I find 5 stars in most thai restaurants bland) but my spouse loved it. So yea, give it a try :)
Rom Mai Thai Restaurant
613 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102
I thought about this thread this week when I was in California for work--I ate almost nothing but Thai and Mexican and didn't notice that it was spicier than what you'd get here.
I don't find Texas spicy very spicy since it largely uses jalepenos which aren't a terribly spicy chile. That being said, I find that restaurants that just mark their dishes as spicy (without the 1 to 5 stars rigamarole) tend to serve spicier food. And as other people here have mentioned, in Thai and Indian restaurants, you can always ask for the spice tray .. my daughter, whose capacity for heat is apparently limitless, always does that.
There is a Thai restaurant in the U District -- Som Tam Thai -- where they are pretty generous with the chiles in some dishes (particularly the Isan dishes -- som tam and the like). It took them a few visits to get used to me. Nowadays when I walk in and order a som tam, the waitress just says, "five-star spicy?" with a big grin and an ominous glint in her eye.
The last couple of visits were not as spicy as I remember. There were a couple of times I got take-out there that my south Indian grandma would have found pleasantly spicy (i.e. it corroded a hole in the take-out box).

Synod Final Document Reaffirms Church Teaching
The final document of the Extraordinary Synod was released Saturday as the Synod Fathers voted to approve all 62 paragraphs, but with three paragraphs not receiving the normally required two-thirds majority vote. The three paragraphs, which in the past would not have been included in a final synod report, speak of: 1) permitting certain remarried divorced Catholics to receive communion after a period of penitence, 2) invoking a deeper call to understanding of the issue of spiritual communion for the divorced and remarried and 3) receiving homosexuals "with respect and gentleness." However, the document has removed the much-criticized language that spoke of "valuing" the homosexual orientation. With obvious input from cardinals who objected strenuously to the midterm report, and insisted…Continue Reading

Plastic Surgery Disasters
|Plastic Surgery Disasters
|Studio album by Dead Kennedys
|November 1982
|Hyde St. Studios and Möbius Music, June 1982
|Hardcore punk
|Alternative Tentacles
|East Bay Ray, Thom Wilson
|Dead Kennedys chronology
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
Plastic Surgery Disasters is the second album released by Dead Kennedys. It has been reissued with the EP In God We Trust, Inc., which are the last eight tracks on the CD. The cover photo is "Hands" by photographer Michael Wells. The same photo was used by another San Francisco-based punk band called Society Dog for their EP .....Off of the Leash, released in 1981. The inside cover art features Winston Smith's collages.
Musically, many different elements bubble to the surface on Plastic Surgery Disasters, including surf-rock, oddly psychedelic guitar textures, and traditional film music, including sections and guitar fills that resemble Ennio Morricone spaghetti western scores. These elements are not always immediately apparent under the high-speed thrash, but they are an indication of Dead Kennedys' musical uniqueness. Dead Kennedys would further these elements, to some extent, on their next release, 1985's Frankenchrist.
On the 2001 release of the album on Manifesto record label, the beginning of "Government Flu" is a separate track entitled "Advice from Christmas Past". There is also a typing error on the Manifesto CDs so that "Bleed for Me" is entitled "Bleed for". On the original vinyl and cassette releases, the first side was tracks 1-8 and the second was tracks 9-13. On some vinyl reissues, however, the first side is tracks 1-9 and the second is tracks 10-13.

Als' coach believes team is peaking at the right timeSunday afternoon, we'll discover whether the Als learned anything from their last loss at Hamilton.
Alouettes' Duron Carter promises Tiger-Cats will get a butt-kicking"I've lost two crucial games to Hamilton. For me, it's personal," the Alouettes receiver says. "I want to beat them. I don't like them. They're stopping me from going where I need to go."
Als must beat B.C. to get a rematch against TicatsHad they defeated the Ticats — or lost by no more than seven points when the tiebreaker came into play — the Als would have finished first in the East Division and received an opening-round bye.
Alouettes set sights on No. 1 spot in the EastThey know they're in the playoffs and will host a post-season match at Molson Stadium. What remains to be determined is whether the Alouettes will finish first or second in the East Division. That much will be decided Saturday afternoon in Hamilton.
Alouettes coach Higgins vindicated on gamblesTom Higgins knows he'll be second-guessed but, as the head coach, admitted he takes responsibility for anything, and everything, that occurs.
Zurkowsky: Als in the hunt for Grey CupConsidering they started 1-7 and are now 9-8, riding a six-game winning streak, all things remain possible for a team that was on life support what now seems like a lifetime ago.
Alouettes have been in playoff mode for weeks, defender Brown saysIt's not a must-win. Those scenarios occur only in elimination games. But the Alouettes realize a victory this Sunday against Toronto (noon, TSN, RDS, TSN Radio-690) at Molson Stadium would guarantee a playoff berth. Lose, and Montreal would have to win next Saturday at Hamilton.
Alouettes head to Ottawa on four-game win streakThe man getting credit for the Alouettes' run of incredible defensive performances recently wants no praise at all. Defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe said it's the coaches — but mainly the players — who deserve the kudos.
Herb Zurkowsky: 'There has been no quit' in AlouettesSunday's dramatic comeback against the Ticats proves the team's character and resiliency are beyond question.
Tisdale questionable for Sunday home game(WITH VIDEO) It's easy in professional sports to jump to conclusions where injuries are concerned. At the very least, it would appear the status of Alouettes cornerback Geoff Tisdale is questionable for Sunday's home game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Kourtney Kardashian to Kim Kardashian: Act Like a Mother!!!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
The Kardashians really are playing family feud these days.
Kris Jenner is separated from Bruce Jenner. Khloe Kardashian is estranged from Lamar Odom.
And, according to the latest issue of Life & Style, Kourtney Kardashian is none too pleased with Kim Kardashian.
Insiders tell the magazine that Kourtney is aghast at Kim's trip to Paris with Kanye West last week.
Yes, it was her first time leaving daughter North West after giving birth in July… but it was still one time too many, according to Kourtney.
The cover story alleges that Kourtney is peeved at her sister for abandoning a four-month old just to enjoy a few "wild parties, trashy outfits and fashion shows" and that Kim has to stop up and ACT LIKE A MOM ALREADY!
Kim, of course, expressed how much she missed little Nori by posting a picture of North West on Instagram toward the end of the vacation. But that apparently wasn't enough for Kourtney.
What do you make of this supposed feud? Is Kim Kardashian a good mother?
She won't even hold her bastard child for petes sake
Remember that episode of KUWTK where Kourtney tested her breast milk for traces of alcohol and had to throw a bunch of it out because it was too boozy and then whinged about how much breast feeding means to her and that she'd be delve stated if she had to give. Mason formula even though she was the one to go out and get plastered knowing full well it'd come throug in her milk? Yeah.
Yeah I do. Hmmm.
Bloody autocorrect.
