TODAYMaze featuring Frankie Beverly This R&B combo is a perennial favorite in Atlanta. Beverly has been the master of seductive crooning for as long as many young neo-soulsters have been alive. If you haven’t heard stone soul classics such as “Joy & Pain” and “Lady of Magic,” you’re missing some great music. With

Dating: Time to break your deal breakers?

Published July 15, 2010 at 7:00 a.m.

Single people we need a reality check ... I include myself because I have been guilty of adhering to random dating deal breakers ... Funny how I seem to meet someone really great who I have chemistry with but hit the brakes (no pun) when there is an issue with something about them ... It’s not just about having a “type” we like to say we prefer, it’s more than that ... We extend our “I don’t do” lists so far that we talk ourselves out of a potential…something. We never find out

Trusty backup: Houston’s

Published July 15, 2010 at 12:10 a.m.

We grew up eating here and it’s been our regular back-up plan when nothing else appeals ... The steaks are always cooked perfectly ... The roasted chicken is delicious ... The salads (I’ve heard) are fantastic ... But there’s one best kept secret here: the burgers ... They’re phenomenal ... Go now.Houston’s3321 Lenox Rd [ ... ] ...

Could you handle a prolonged engagement?

Published July 14, 2010 at 7:00 a.m.

According to news reports, NBA player, Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vazquez finally tied the knot after years of being engaged. Some had begun calling Vazquez the eternal fiance (seriously, google that term!) since the amount of time from proposal to wedding day was five years ... It’s anyone’s guess what the reason for the prolonged engagement was but I figured that they were both in no huge hurry to get married. The fact that they had remained together after the proposal and

I normally only post new stuff here, but I decided I would go retro today and post a classic mp3 from way back in 2009. Short of a couple of Deerhunter records, November is pretty much my favourite album born in Atlanta since Outkast were together. So, consider this a reminder that you are sorely [ ... ] ...

Recruiting, Scouting update and other links

Published July 13, 2010 at 9:36 p.m.

BC target New Jersey TE Jack Tabb sounds really high on Pitt ... Here is a Q&A with future Eagle Dennis Clifford ... This NFL Post writer is pretty harsh on our SR talent. I understand his comments on Castonzo, but regardless of Castonzo's technique, his end results are so strong that I think he will be very good at the next level. This scouting report accurately states that Herzy's draft status will depend purely on his recovery ... Notre Dame finally introduced Mik Aoki to the media. No word

How not to be a theft victim at the gym

Published July 13, 2010 at 1:18 p.m.

A guy walks into a gym and pays 15 bucks for a one-time workout. Inside the gym bag he’s carrying is a bolt cutter ... He goes in the men’s locker room, waits until the room is empty and then cuts a lock. Luck of the draw. He finds a wallet. He takes the credit card from the wallet and closes the locker and places the lock back as best he can so it won’t look cut open at first glance ... The man walks out, stopping to get his 15 bucks back, claiming he has been called away ... It took less
