TURN THE PAGE The bye week could not of come at a better time for the Atlanta Falcons. Decimated by injuries and quite frankly bad luck the Falcons are fighting an uphill battle not only within the division but the conference as they sit at 1-4. There are a lot of finger pointing and blame going around between fans, media and onlookers. Some are stupid, (many actually), others warranted and still some points completely missed. Atlanta came within ten yards of going to the Super Bowl last year. Coming into the off-season many considered them one of three picks to make the big game this year. Atlanta did some good things in the off-season coming into 2013, but missed out big as well. Gone are the big contracts and faltering play of John Abraham and Michael Turner. Atlanta totally missed out in the draft, however. The Falcons had a good secondary actually but decided to let Brent Grimes and Dunta Robinson go and draft two new cornerbacks with their first two picks. The picks were good and will be good a few years down the road, but help was needed on the defensive

line and the linebacker corps.

again this was a bad use of money and only a short-term fix. The It wasn’t the secondary that let the offense other than Gonzalez (37) Falcons down in the playoffs last and Roddy White (31) are under 30 year it was the line and lineback- with plenty of upside. ers. Both Seattle and San Francisco exploited this in the sec- And while we’re dissecting the ond half of each game with quick offense let us not forget the offenintermediate passes over the mid- sive line that went into thrift dle where there was plenty of mode by letting Tyson Clabo sign room to run. There were few deep with the Dolphins and has a passes completed. Atlanta would makeshift line protecting a $100 have been better off drafting a million dollar investment (Matt lineman or linebacker. Ryan). Instead of resigning Tony Gonzalez they should have dragged Tyler Eifert out of Notre Dame. Eifert is a tight end made in the mould of Gonzalez and would have saved a lot of cap money and let Gonzalez go out in a blaze of glory. Instead of signing free agent Steven Jackson, who is 30 to a two-year contract I have two words for you – Eddie Lacy. The Falcons needed a punishing runner to take the place of Turner who had run out of steam. They could have gotten Lacy with a second round pick and paid him a lot less than Jackson who hasn’t played in two complete games and has gained less than 100 yards in the five quarters he played. Once

Needless to say there were a few missteps taken coming into this season. The issue that has overshadowed everything has been injury. Prior to 2013 the Falcons under Mike Smith had been relatively injury free minus a few games Ryan missed in 2009 with an aggravated ankle injury and Turner missing a few games. The defense and everyone else was intact. This year who isn’t injured? So far only Ryan and Gonzalez. And if the line play doesn’t improve that will change. Julio Jones in done for the season, White has been at half-speed a majority of the season and tweaked his hamstring in the loss to the Jets. Sean Weatherspoon and Jaclosn have been gone since early week two and Kroy

Biermann has been lost for the season. Sam Baker has missed a couple of starts on the offensive line. Assante Samuel has missed time at cornerback leaving the two rookies to guard the receivers. Add to that the turnover battle. Atlanta has won that every year. Not this year. Atlanta’s defense has not been as opportunistic as in the past. Despite all that, things are looking up for the Falcons. Both Jackson and Weatherspoon are a week or two away from coming back. A soft part of the schedule can work in Atlanta’s favor as they face the winless Buccaneers Sunday and then face the Cardinals and Panthers in the weeks to follow. By midseason they could be at .500. The Saints lost Sunday and are off this week so the Falcons can gain an entire game on the Saints going into the game in Arizona. The Saints’ schedule gets a little tougher besides facing Atlanta gain they face the likes of Dallas and San Francisco and Seattle. There is a lot of blame to go around for the sudden faltering of the Falcons but most of the voices need to keep quiet. It’s not Matt


Ryan’s contract’s fault or Coach Smith’s fault. People around Atlanta has short-term memory loss. Before Ryan and Smith arrived the Atlanta Falcons had never had back-to-back winning seasons. Under the current leadership they have five consecutive winning seasons. Under Smith the Falcons are the second most winning team in the league the last five years – only one game better is New England. People also like to talk about the days of Michael Vick. Under Vick the Falcons had only two seasons over .500. The Falcons finished one half game over .500 with Vick as quarterback (40-39-1) and won the conference once. Under Smith and Ryan the Falcons have been in the playoffs four times in five years and two divisional crowns and two top

seed placements in the playoffs. If the Falcons have a (now) rare off-season, so be it. It is only one season. People forget the Dolphins during their glory days had two losing seasons with Don Shula and the Giants missed the playoffs after winning their first under Bill Parcells. Adjustments were made, evaluations were done and both franchises have excelled since (and fallen at times as well). People forget there were people critical of Don Shula before the 1972 perfect season. He had been to a couple of Super Bowls and lost. He was given the same “can’t win the big one” criticism that he eventually overcame. The same can be true for Smith.

MONEY MANAGEMENT

WHEN COMMERCIAL MORTGAGES GO WRONG When buying any type of property, whether it is commercial or private, it is often a much safer bet to secure a mortgage loan compared to a standard loan as the physical property secures the value of the loan. Buying commercial property often comes at a higher price and, as a result, at a higher risk; commercial mortgages are therefore designed to consider all other factors for the business owner when purchasing property. Buying business property in the current market can be a huge risk for a business with interest rates fluctuating and negative equity being major factors when investing. Commercial mortgages are more flexible in comparison to residential mortgages as

the value of the property tends to be higher, however it can come at a huge cost for the business. Mortgage derives from the French term meaning "Death Contract" reinforcing that the loan will exist until you pay it off or are deceased; businesses are consequently at high risk or mortgages going wrong if they go into liquidation or become bankrupt as they are still required to pay back the loan regardless. Coinciding with the higher value of property, and the larger loans, is the higher interest rates for payments which inflate with the economy if the mortgage is not fixed. Increasing interest rates directly affect struggling businesses as the economy forces a more hostile

business environment and debt to escalate. Failing businesses are at considerable risk if they owe a large commercial mortgage on their building and this is often why so many offices and large commercial buildings are left to let as struggling owners try to make money from renting the space they own. Commercial mortgage companies recognise the greater risk in the current climate, especially for smaller companies, and attempt to advise and offer the best in terms of security and deposit payment advice for all businesses looking to purchase commercial property. Flexibility is another great factor of using a commercial mortgage provider as they are more sympathetic when the prop-

erty owner wants to move the business. Remortgaging commercial property is made easy by mortgage companies, which is a great advantage to a business struggling with payments. As with any aspect of running a business the risks are so high due to the investment required initially; investing large amounts of money should mean a larger turn around, however it can also mean larger debts and bigger disaster if the business fails. As a business owner it is highly advisable to research when looking to take out a Commercial Mortgage for the best company to suit your needs.

The Shutdown By now the government shutdown might be over. Or we could still be mired in a hopeless stalemate between disgruntled Republican lawmakers and a president who doesn’t want to cave in to their demands. That is the nature of editorial deadlines, weekly publications and the bipartisan fiasco that our government has become… …Regardless of if and how the shutdown ends, Congress has done itself a lot of damage. A recent national survey conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research indicates that the voting public is putting the lion’s share of the shutdown blame on the shoulders of Congressional Republicans. By a 16-point margin, 43 to 27 percent, voters blame the Republicans in Congress (rather than President Obama and the Democrats) for the government shutdown. The GOP now has a 2:1 unfavorable to favorable rating, 26 percent favorable vs. 52 percent unfavorable (for a net -26 rating). Among independents their rating is -35. Democrats

have a net -5 rating (39 percent favorable vs. 44 percent unfavorable). Perhaps most important, on the “generic ballot,”, Democrats now lead by double digits, 46 to 36 percent… …What does all of this matter? It depends on who you ask. Some pundits are predicting that the Republicans could lose the house in 2014 if they don’t do some serious rebranding. The “Tea Party” folks have hijacked the GOP agenda, leaving Speaker John Boehner only nominally in charge. Republican TP Senator Ted Cruz used his “faux-libuster” to attract attention and leverage House Republicans into supporting a shutdown. Unfortunately for Boehner and the House Pachyderms, no one seemed to have put much thought into an end game. After refusing to negotiate on a continuing resolution to avoid a shutdown, they seemed to expect President Obama to roll over once things ground to a halt. Thus far, that hasn’t happened…

…On the surface, the shutdown is all about “Obamacare”… otherwise known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The health reforms were passed by Congress and signed into law back in March 2010. When they regained control of the House in November 2010, Republicans set their sights on Obamacare. After 41 failed attempts to repeal the PPACA, the GOP house leadership tied a oneyear delay on its implementation to a temporary spending bill required to fund the government. The House’s vote to delay Obamacare passed, 228-210, on September 30… the last day of the Federal fiscal year. The partial shutdown went into effect on October Fool’s Day… …Healthcare reform was one of Obama’s top priorities when he was elected to his first term. He’s not going to give up on it. Blocking Obamacare is the top priority of the Tea Party faction and many of the other House Republicans. No

one wants to be the first to blink in this staredown and the resulting governmental gridlock is an embarrassment to all involved. There are some who theorize that the TPers will split off from the Republican party completely now that they have neutered the GOP leadership. My fondest hope is that this shutdown will finally show American voters the truth about their government. Congresspersons and Senators are woefully out of touch with “ordinary Americans.” Much of this shutdown rhetoric is just pre-campaign posturing… …Our representative government needs a complete overhaul. If this government shutdown is enough to wake people up to this fact, then it will have been worth it. Unfortunately, the people in charge of government reform are the men and women who need reforming…

HARTFORD, Conn. - A Connecticut weatherman has attained international fame by mistaking cat vomit for Grape Nuts and eating it during a live news broadcast. Scot Haney, the weatherman for WFSB-TV, Hartford, picked up what he and his fellow anchors believed to be Grape Nuts on the floor of the studio during the morning news Wednesday

and attempted to eat them, Syracuse.com reported Thursday. “They’re a little soggy. They taste like shoes,” Haney said during the broadcast. “I think that might be dog doody.” Haney eventually realized the substance was actually cat vomit. “Ladies and gentlemen, those were not Grape Nuts that I ate. I kept finding more and more of it on the floor, and I thought it was Grape Nuts because it looked

Police say a drunken Crystal KingWoolfork, who had been at Shake Your Booty Club, came home with the woman and had sex with her as her boyfriend slept. She then asked her boyfriend to have three-way sex with them, and when he refused, police say she became enraged. The boyfriend says after the woman left, KingWoolfork grabbed a knife and stabbed him and a struggle ensued. He was able to wrestle away the knife, then called for a ride to a hospital. The woman, who faces a charge of attempted murder, told police she recalls grabbing the knife but doesn’t recall using it. CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A Michigan woman who passed

Ophelia Neal, 53, pleaded guilty in Oakland County Circuit Court to bank robbery and explosive charges following the April 6 crime in Macomb County, The Detroit News reported Tuesday. Neal pleaded guilty in Oakland County because she had been wanted there for violating her parole. Police said Neal went into the Fifth Third Bank in Clinton Township April 6 and told a clerk she was carrying a bomb in her cloth bag. Neal fled with an undisclosed amount of cash in a car driven by a man. She was later arrested and police discovered her cloth bag contained two cans of spaghetti sauce. Neal, who has previous convictions for fraud, marijuana possession and assault, is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 9 before Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Faunce.

movie “Old School” a man in Texas apparently wanted to party with his friends so bad he staged his own kidnapping so his wife wouldn’t give him a hard time about leaving the house. According to police, Rogelio Andaverde, 34, of Edinburg, in the Texas-Mexico border region, was with his wife at home when two masked men barged into their house carrying guns. They forced him from his home and his hysterical wife called police in a panic. Dozens of law enforcement officers fanned out to search for Andaverde. A police helicopter was even sent out to look for him. But the investigation was going nowhere, and police officers started to become suspicious. Andaverde thought he had outsmarted everyone, police said. He casually returned home and said the kidnappers showed mercy and had set him free. But he later confessed to investigators, police said, that it was all a ruse so he could go out for a night on the town with his drinking buddies. Andaverde was charged with making a false report to police. He was released on $5,000 bail.

Movie Sequels Hollywood Forgot Some movies seem to have been made with sequels in mind. Franchises like "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" inevitably had sequels since the story line was left hanging at the end of the original film. In some instances, such as the "Batman" and the "Friday the 13th" series, strong characters and episode-like feature films almost beg for sequels. From a marketing perspective, sequels are no-brainers; they are easily recognizable and can bring audiences back for more without breaking the bank in marketing dollars. However, there are some movies where audiences clearly wanted to see more, but Hollywood didn't agree.

planned for a sequel in a completely different film he planned on writing and producing, dashing the hopes of a sequel to "Unbreakable" anytime in the near future.

It almost seems as though Pixar Animation Studios is in the business of making sequels, but the one that audiences are yearning for has yet to be considered for one. "The Incredibles" was released in 2004 to eager audiences, and it became an instant hit. Written and directed by Brad Bird and with voices supplied by a list of stars that included Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, and Samuel L. Jackson, "The Incredibles" went on to win two Oscars, forty-one additional Released in 2000, "Unbreakable" awards, and a full thirty-seven kept audiences on the edges of other nominations. their seats.

Despite some eagerness on the part " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " preof Jackson and Willis, Shyamalan miered in 1986, securing Matthew announced in 2010 he would be Broderick's place in contemporary using the villain he had originally American film culture. This slap-

stick movie netted more than $70 million at the box office, which was a huge success during the 1980s, especially considering that the production budget was a mere $6 million. Along with his partners in crime, Sloane Peterson and Cameron Frye, Bueller would probably consider calling out of work, ditching the family, and heading off with his friends to take a trip down memory lane to remember what it was like to be young again. Another 1980s film, "The Goonies," was ripe for the sequel that was never to be. Originally written by Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner, this 1985 film followed a group of youngsters as they decoded a pirate's map, hoping to find buried treasure at the end. "The Goonies" may not have swept the award circuit, but it was successful at the box office, grossing $9 million in its opening weekend and more than $60 million at the end of its run, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Although a sequel was discussed between the studio and Spielberg on and off for years, it never came to pass. The original actors are now too old to reprise their roles, but it would be amazing to see the children of stars Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, and Josh Brolin play the roles their parents once portrayed. A lot of components have to come together to make a sequel that is truly successful. The writers, actors, and studio all have to reach an agreement and work together to make a film that does justice to the original, without overshadowing it. That means a lot of moving parts, which leaves the door open for things to go wrong. While movie sequels have gained in popularity over the years, some of the most desired ones may never come to pass.

The Government Shuts Down Businesses and Organizations and Seizes Bank Accounts All the Time Apparently, the government can dish it out, but they can't take it. What do I mean by that? Well, often "the authorities" will seize bank accounts, close businesses, and put out yellow tape. Often we see the FBI, DHS, Regulatory Agencies, and local police walking out with boxes of records for later prosecution. Often this happens before the burden of proof, actually it happens a lot. The Federal Reserve also closes banks, seizes assets and so, I ask why can't we close the government when they break their promises to the American people. We are told we cannot do this because there is a huge ripple effect in our economy, credit rating, and all the vendors of the government, all the employees of the government, etc. Yes, that's true, but it is the same thing for any business the government decides to seize assets or bank

accounts. What about their credit rating, vendors, employees, customers, brand name. And what about all the ripple affect there. Why should every citizens, organization and business or corporation in this entire country be subject to such shut-downs but not the government - especially when the government reneges on its promises or uses underhanded methods as it foregoes its responsibilities? Why the Double Standard? Yes, I dare to ask the question, because I've witnessed what regulatory agencies, authorities, and our government has done in the past. I've seen quite a bit of this behavior. It's interesting that the government can dish it out arbitrarily in many cases, but they can't take it, even when they are in the wrong, or when the system
