The 64 games beginning June 11 will be watched by a composite audience numbering in the billions.
South Africa will host the World Cup this year, and the 19th World Cup is the first to take place in Africa. Europe, the birthplace of modern soccer, has hosted the tournament 10 times, while South American countries have hosted the tournament four times and North America three times.
Consider this a primer for cup fever.
How do teams make it to the World Cup?
Teams have to qualify for the World Cup, and for some teams, such as tiny Honduras, simply participating is a victory. About 200 teams started the qualifying process two years ago, but the final tournament involves just 32. Only the host team, South Africa, received an automatic berth, and regional tournaments decided the other 31 teams.
What's the TV coverage like?
Every single game will be on television. ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC will cover the games play-by-play and with commentary in English. If you want to have the flair of another culture, you can flip over to the Spanish-speaking stations for their coverage. (It's always fun to hear "Gooooooooooooooooooal!")
When are the games on TV?
I found the schedule in the World Cup issue of ESPN: 2010 World Cup Guide (highly recommended), and it's also posted on the FIFA.com website. Thankfully, game times are not as horrible as they were eight years ago when South Korea and Japan co-hosted the tournament. This year's games start at 4:30 a.m., 7 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., Pacific daylight saving time.
What's the format of the tournament?
There eight groups of four teams each. The teams play within their group in a round-robin format, guaranteeing a minimum of three games each. The two teams from each group with the best records move to the "knockout rounds," where the tournament becomes single elimination. After group play and the knockouts, the final will be the seventh game for each of the finalists.
Why are some games ties while others go to overtime and penalty kicks?
In the opening round you don't "need" a winner for each game — ties are worth one point, while victories earn a team three points. But in the knockout rounds, there must be a winner, because one team has to move one to the next round. Games that are tied at the end of regulation go to a 30-minute overtime. If still tied after that, the game goes to penalty kicks. Very few people like PKs — they are a bit like deciding a basketball game with free throws — but a winner must be determined somehow.
What are the prospects for the United States?
The United States is not expected to win the tournament. Soccer is not our national sport, and, unlike baseball, basketball and football, we did not invent it. The betting odds vary, but 80-to-1 for the U.S. as a winner is common. We are, however, expected to advance out of Group C, which we share with England, Algeria and Slovenia. The U.S. opens June 12 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific daylight saving time against England; June 18 we clash with Slovenia (7 a.m.); and on June 23 (7 a.m.) we finish the opening round with Algeria.
If we make it out of the first round, we would probably face Germany in the round of 16.

In February of this year, Tata & Howard began to look at Long Pond, the town's primary source of drinking water, to determine what additional treatment would be needed to meet changes being made to state regulations. Funding for the $800,000 study was approved in May 2011 by voters.
It will investigate the possibility of installing a filtration plant at Long Pond as well as other options, such as enhancing the disinfectant capabilities there.
Last week selectmen were briefed on the progress of that study by Patrick S. O'Neale, vice president at Tata & Howard, and Russell Ford, vice president at CH2M Hill.
Mr. O'Neale initially focused on the characteristics of Long Pond, a surface water source, a watershed that encompasses 150 acres of protected land owned by the town.
The pond itself, he said, is subject to seasonal variations that lead to discernible differences in taste and odor.
Overall, it provides anywhere from 60 to 70 percent of the town's drinking water during the summer, "so it is a vital piece of the town's drinking water," he said.
Since the early 1990s, he noted, the town has operated Long Pond with a filtration waiver from the state, using chlorine to remove pathogens from the water.
That treatment method, he said, will not meet new state regulations that go into effect in October. The new regulations will require the removal of cryptosporidium. Among the more basic options for doing so, he said, is adding ozone or chlorine dioxide treatment or passing the water through ultraviolet rays.
Additional concerns with chlorination, Mr. O'Neale said, is that it does not effectively address other contaminants such as endocrine disruptors found in personal care products that the Environmental Protection Agency could regulate in the future.
As part of the town's study of Long Pond, Mr. O'Neale said his firm is conducting benchmark tests to assess key processes in Long Pond.
Along with that, Dr. Ford said, are pilot tests, one that will be done over the winter and another over the summer. They will analyze a variety of new treatment options that could be used on the pond.
During initial meetings with the Department of Public Works and members of the Falmouth Board of Health, Dr. Ford, said a list of 25 potential treatments were identified as possibilities for Long Pond. Those were narrowed down to coagulation, direct filtration, ozone treatment, membrane filtration or dissolved air flotation. All the equipment for the studies is currently on-site at Long Pond.
Analysis will look at the effectiveness of those options in meeting state mandates, Dr. Ford said, as well as the cost to implement them.
After the pair concluded the presentation, Chairman Kevin E. Murphy admitted that this was a topic in which the board will "really rely on your expertise as we move forward. Either that or we will have to do a lot more research."
Department of Public Works Director Raymond A. Jack tried to simplify the conversation, first explaining that the inherent danger with a surface water source is the result of the suspended solids. Those solids, he said, essentially will settle on the bottom, but during periods of turnover they will rise to the surface and create odor and taste issues.
"The first thing you want to do is deal with the solids," he said, as he moved to the various treatment options beginning with coagulation, which is similar to what is done with human blood. In this case, he explained, a chemical with a positive charge is added to the drinking water to counteract the negative charge, creating clots in which suspended solids can be more easily removed.
With dissolved air flotation, he said, the process moves solids out of the drinking water.
Direct filtration, he said, moves drinking water through sand to remove solids while membrane filtration is similar to reverse osmosis as it forces water through a micro-filter.
Selectman Mary (Pat) Flynn asked how complex Long Pond is compared to other sources of drinking water and how costly it would be to treat.
Mr. Jack said it would be less costly than other municipalities. The issue in Falmouth, he said, is that it is seasonal, leading to turnover, which typically occurs in the spring and fall.
As the study continues, Mr. Jack said, Falmouth will have to ask for an extension from the state in October to continue to operate Long Pond without a filtration system. He anticipated a final report from Tata & Howard and CH2M Hill will be ready at some point in late November or early December.
That report will include recommendations for potential treatment options as well as costs that Town Meeting could vote on in April.
UPDATE: This story was corrected as the original headline reported the study would begin next February. The study is already underway and is expected to be completed by December. Additionally, the story reported that the selectmen's meeting took place this week. It actually was held last week on Monday, August 27.

Although he would love to have just a fraction of some of Jackson's successes, Campbell points out there current biggest similarity is that they are both from Georgia.
Craig Campbell was in concert last night in Nacogdoches, and he was kind enough to call me this afternoon and recorded this interview on KNUE.

The Cowboys had an open practice squad spot after signing
But when the dust settled on Tuesday, the Cowboys have one spot open on the roster. And with Ratliff now eligible to return from PUP (Physically Unable to Perform), there would need to be an open roster spot for him to be signed.
Still, owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday morning on his radio show regarding Ratliff: "We've got a situation that's not positive as to him getting out on the field. We're going to see this week what we're going to do this week, technically."
With Ware likely out this week, the Cowboys will need help up front. Wynn should be able to provide some depth behind

I'm not one to actively seek out so-called "symphonic metal" bands but if I were Holland is the first place I'd start looking. I am part Dutch on my maternal Grandfather's side but I've never been to Holland. My question is "what in the world is happening over there?". A word of warning to the rest of the world - If you're thinking about getting into the symphonic metal game, you've got your work cut out for you. The Dutch metal band Within Temptation has nailed it with their latest album "Hydra".
Last year I had the pleasure of hearing the second album from fellow Dutch metalists ReVamp and I was suitably impressed. I have no facts to back it up but I would not be shocked to discover that ReVamp was at least partially influenced by Within Temptation. Within Temptation is not new to the game. They've been around for about 17 years. "Hydra" is their sixth studio album and demonstrates that with time and practice comes power. On this latest endevour, all the pieces have again fallen into place.
To call them a "female fronted metal band" is a bit disingenuous and doesn't begin to cover the complexity that comes with their music. Sharon den Adel is more than just the female fronting the band. She is a tour de force with an unbelievable set of pipes. She is just one of the seven musicians who make up Within Temptation. They feature three, count 'em, three guitarists, bass, drums and keyboards as well as several guest vocalists on this latest project. Among them, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and rapper Xzibit, if you can believe that. What goes better with a Dutch symphonic metal band than an American rapper? After hearing the song "And We Run", nothing.
You may notice I keep using the phrase "symphonic metal" and that is how the band describes itself. Their earlier work was filed under the "gothic metal" or "doom metal" category but Within Temptation has clearly moved on from there. In fact, "Hydra" sounds like the opposite of gothic. It's upbeat and, at times, even inspiring. The sound has a pop sensibility and is masterfully produced. It's no wonder they have been at the top of the Dutch music scene for a number of years.
This isn't metal the way we usually think of metal. There are, of course, the required distorted guitars and an occasional metal growl but this is a more dynamic album than your typical metal fare. It is "poppier" than most and is more Florence and the Machine than Rage Against the Machine.
One thing that really excited me about "Hydra" is the way Within Temptation uses a variety of musical genres to punctuate their songs rather than define them. For example, the aforementioned "And We Run" starts as a nice, melodic song with keyboards, guitars and so on (the symphonic part of symphonic metal) and then, suddenly, there's Xzibit rapping. Putting those two elements together may not seem an obvious choice but it works really well on this song.
"Paradise", on the other hand, uses a more traditional metal structure with an awesome sounding guitar playing a really cool riff and then den Adel starts singing in a more operatic style. Not a metal, Geoff Tate, Queensryche kind of operatic. More like a Rigoletto style of operatic. The juxtaposition of sounds keeps you a bit off balance and makes the listening experience that much more pleasant.
By the way, if you have anything to do with creating promotions for the Olympics you may want to give the final cut, "The Whole World Is Watching", a listen. It is the perfect track to end any sporting event. Maybe the folks who produce the March Madness finale should think about replacing "One Shining Moment" with this song.
Musically, Within Temptation is one heluva good band and "Hydra" specifically is a terrific album. That being said, I feel it's an album full of singles. Each song is great on it's own but, for me, listening to the whole thing at once gave me a sort of sensory overload.
If you enjoy female fronted Dutch symphonic metal then this is an album for you. Get it, add it to your listening device of choice and put it on shuffle. Each time a Within Temptation song comes on you'll think, "Hell yeah". Spacing the songs out between other artists will make each cut that much more special. Try it. I think you'll like it. But that may just be the Dutch in me talking.

OMG, major news Glee fans! Like, bigger than yesterday's wallop that Adam Lambert is joining the season 5 cast. We all may have thought that stars Cory Monteith and Lea Michele woulda been the first real couple stemming from the FOX hit show to tie the knot. But get this -- another pair of costars are ready to say "I do!"
Ready for it? Blake Jenner and Melissa Benoist are engaged! Well, supposedly. According to Us Weekly, the duo who only recently admitted to being an item off-screen back in May is getting married -- although reps for both actors declined to comment on the pair's personal lives.
Ahhh! Marley and Ryder are gettin' hitched!
It's exciting. OK, exciting is an understatement. It's like the duo, who have long been called the "new" Rachel and Finn, are following in the steps of both the show's Rachel and Finn and the real actors. You know what that means, right? We're totally gonna see somethin' blingy on Lea Michele's ring finger, ASAP. OK, I won't get ahead of myself, but a girl can hope right?
Honestly, I think it's good there hasn't been a big media circus around Blake and Melissa's relationship thus far. It's enabled us to appreciate the characters they play on TV (which is what we all really care about, right?). Let's just hope things don't get crazy for the lovebirds with the big announcement.
Are you excited for Blake and Melissa?
Image via FOX
Probably bs. If BOTH their reps aren't saying anything then I highly doubt it's true...esp if they've only been daing since May! I thought it was going to be Lea and Cory :(
How old are they? I don't think they've even been dating for very long.
Hello, my name is Derek, and I was hoping you would like to view a poem I wrote in reference to the relationship amongst celebrity couples. Please go to Google, type in my name, Derek Newell, and then my poem, ''EXPRESS IT'', please turn your family and friends on to my poem, I know it will inspire them.OK folks, you all take care, and never fear, and remember this always please.....
It is today that matters, not tomorrow, next week or after,
It is now that counts, so fill your life, with hope, joy and laughter.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – The Boston mayoral race has been neck-and-neck with the latest poll by Suffolk University and The Boston Herald showing City Councilor John Connolly out in front of Rep. Marty Walsh.
The poll, which was released Monday, is the first done between just the two candidates. Connolly garnered 41 percent of votes while Walsh trailed with 34 percent. Twenty-three percent of voters said they were still undecided.
Suffolk pollster David Paleologos told FOX 25 Connolly has taken the lead because he has more female supporters on his side.
"The biggest glaring difference in this race right now is gender. If you look at women, Connolly is winning by 14 points among women, and he trails by one among men. So the margin in this race is gender," Paleologos said.
In a statement, the Connolly campaign called the poll results "great news," adding they're "focused on talking to voters every day about the issues that are important to them, including improving public schools, building safe and healthy neighborhoods, and creating jobs in every neighborhood across the city."
FOX 25's Sharman Sacchetti talked with Walsh during FOX 25's debut of its 5 p.m. newscast.
Walsh said he is planning on making up the difference with women. Additionally, Walsh unveiled a plan for making Boston Public Schools better. However, he would not comment on who he would appoint next police commissioner or superintendent.
The Boston mayoral election will be held on Nov. 5.

The water was quite warm already with 20°C but air temperatures of 30°C means probably a strong thermal wind and so it happened. (more...)

The first annual Friends of 1978 Arts Center event was Thursday night in Maplewood. To thank members for their support throughout the year, the Center provided great food, great art and a great time. Catered by SOMA's very own Chef Jesse, the crowd feasted on 'New Carolina Cuisine' crab cakes and pulled pork strudel.
"What is most attractive to me about 1978, is that this is a place where formal art meets the informal. You have high quality art in a very accessible place," said new member Barbara Heisler.
The event featured the simultaneous opening of two shows. On the Board 2 displayed encaustics, pencil drawings, collage, paintings, photography and sculpture by 1978′s current board of directors. The second exhibit is the work of sculptor and 1978 patron, June Cater. Her series of clay heads is called On the Shelf.
The evening concluded with a request for continued support and an announcement of the fall line up of exhibits and classes, including a breast cancer survivor show in October and a Small Works show in December. Upcoming classes included watercolor and photography.

A fresh impact crater dominates this image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on November 19, 2013. NASA
The UpTake: Could the the names of Martian craters be a new revenue source for space exploration programs? Not if this international space organization has anything to say about it.
Uwingu's mission sounds simple enough: To create new ways for people to personally connect with space exploration and astronomy. A statement released today said the organization's grants will help offset losses to space researchers and educators "hurt by budget cuts." But exactly how it's raising that money is where things get complicated: it's selling the names to over 500,000 unnamed Martian craters.
But one problem. This is something the International Astronomical Union (IAU) says contradicts the very essence of space exploration.
"Such initiatives go against the spirit of free and equal access to space, as well as against internationally recognised standards," the IAU wrote in a statement released today. "Hence no purchased names can ever be used on official maps and globes."
The IAU is an international astronomical organization of more than 10,000 professional astronomers from around the world who have agreed on common standards for naming space objects, features, or phenomena so that scientists, educators, and the general public can all "speak the same language" when discussing space.
Presumably then, crater names listed on Uwinga's site, such as Nick's Little Hole in the Ground and DJ's Nipple (a smaller crater in the middle of a larger crater, whose name is still for sale for $500) will be difficult for members of the non-English speaking space community to pronounce. Whereas officially recognized crater names like Asimov, Tolstoy, and Columbus are internationally easier to talk about.
Uwinga's Mars crater-naming project launched on February 26 to help raise $10 million for Uwingu Fund grants that are intended to help space projects at universities, companies, and non-profit space organizations, according to the statement. More than 7,000 crater name purchases from 78 countries have been made on Uwinga's Mars map so far.

- Lambertville Station restaurantirisfleurDined on 9/7/2014This restaurant is located on the banks of the Delaware River just steps from the bridge to New Hope, PA. There are two buildings, the Inn and the restaurant. The Inn serves brunch in its dining room overlooking the river. There is a large parking area for which they charge $20. You can get the money back if you eat at the restaurant. We had dinner in the restaurant. There is outdoor seating, but we sat inside. The outdoor seating does not have a view of the water. The gazpacho was very thick and delicious. We split a salad, which had mixed greens, sundried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. I had blackened red snapper with yellow rice and corn on the cob. The fish was not too spicy. My husband had prime rib, which was fatty.Special Features:
- Fabulous PlaceAnnivcoupleDined on 9/6/2014Excellent food, great staff and overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Busy evening!ArthurJacobVIPDined on 9/6/2014We were seated at least forty minutes after our reservation time. We were a large group and apparently the prior guests lingered and lingered. Not a problem. We understood. The food is nothing special, and yet, in that town, it is one of the few places good for large parties. Our waiter, Jonathan did a terrific job of getting our orders right and providing prompt service, even knowing and apologizing we'd had to wait so long. Great service. On the negative side, I spoke with a woman two weeks earlier about changing our headcount, not only was she completely inflexible, because they were "so so busy" that night, (OK, not a problem) but rude and ungracious. Shockingly so. A+ for our waiter, D- for the woman on the phone.
- Great food in charming LambertvilleJayJayDined on 9/6/2014Lambertville Station has long been one of my favorite restaurants. We introduced friends to this fine restaurant after seeing a performance at the Bucks County Playhouse. The menu is always eclectic and prepared to perfection. I was particularly impressed with the fire river oysters I tried on this visit. Now I will be counting down the months until their 3 month game menu returns!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always ExcellentanLSregularDined on 9/3/2014The Lambertville Station is consistently excellent both in food quality and service. The rack-of-lamb is always perfectly cooked to order. The servers are well trained, know the menu, and work hard to please. I suggest a week night as the best since the noise level is a bit better and it is not quite as crowded. You will enjoy the experience.Special Features:

- We're local & regularsAllenDined on 8/31/2014Usually a great "go to" restaurant. Food is always good, service consistent, nice ambience, very friendly bar staff. However, the hostess station (on the most recent evening we were there) was staffed with incompetent, teenage girls completely uninterested in our party or our reservation. Really not cool let alone professional, so we will be taking a break from the Station.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/31/2014New Zealand lamb chops are out of this world! Will come back for that!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DogFoodDoThingsDined on 8/31/2014Made reservation with open table at 645PM for special occasion.I was told no seating with view as I clearly requested when I made reservation.They suggested I could wait 20 minutes.I came back in 30 minutes and was told that seats were not ready yet and that it would be at least 30 minutes longer. At this point I agreed to be seated anywhere.I was seated in a dark corner as opposed to river view I was seated 2 tables from A man with a service dog with dog licking plate on his table, man feeding dog,waitress petting dog. The man read the menu and looked out my window view. I was told by manager that the 'dog had papers' This is not how a service dog acts. DISGUSTING,inefficient overrated. I left. I would not let my dog eat here!!!!Special Features:

- 50TH ANIVERSARYYANKEE42Dined on 8/30/2014We were taken to dinner here by our son Michael and his companion. My wife and I picked the restaurant. As usual it was great. Service was exceptional and attentive from the moment we sat to the desert lit with candles. Food again was delicious and we all were most content at the end. This restaurant never disappoints . On this special day for my wife and I the Lambertville Station made the evening also memorable. Thanks. We will be back for other festive occasions and fun dinners or lunches. It is truly a Lambertville landmark.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great steakMaudeDined on 8/29/2014Very good service and great steak. Not much if a river view but overlooking the street makes for good people watching.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Parking29AnniversaryDined on 8/29/2014A parking fee of $20 is required to park in the lot adjacent to the Inn. While this is credited back when the restaurant bill is paid there is no mention of this on the restaurant's website. Dinners need to be sure they are carrying cash if they want to park on-site. Otherwise, a nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ourstanding As UsualbudnbettyDined on 8/24/2014From Alan downstairs in the bar area to Becky in the Dining Room, service and food were excellent as usual. Heartily recommend this venue to anyone who would like a special experience and great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected more...Rose37Dined on 8/24/2014I expected more and was left with a just fair experience. The waitress was probably the reason as she set the tone. She was curt to our table yet she hovered way too much when we were trying to enjoy our meals. I just wanted to be done and leave. The food was good but 2 of our guests did not enjoy their meals. Perhaps this restaurant is best for their wine bar and that is how it can be enjoyed and recommended.Special Features:
- Great Brunch or anytime meal!SusanDined on 8/24/2014We are repeat customers of the Station. We recently enjoyed a brunch that was delicious. We have had other meals there- lunches, dinners- especially during the winter and the wild game months. Always an enjoyable experience!Special Features:
- Delicious!Love2WineNDineVIPDined on 8/23/2014Beautiful old building - an old Train Station We sat outside and even though it rained we were able to enjoy the beautiful. The food was very good and the wine and after dinner drinks were fabulous too! Will go back to try the cozy Wine bar and the Raw Bar!Special Features:
- NYerNYerDined on 8/22/2014A great getaway along the historic Delaware River.Special Features:
- Solid Neighborhood GemjuleezeeDined on 8/21/2014This was not our first time eating at the Station, we had been there for dinners, lunches, etc., but we had never managed to sit outside and enjoy a great summer evening before. Very friendly and professional service, nicely paced. The food ranges from the pedestrian to the excellent, depending on what you order. The steak was cooked to order, the fish special was a bit lackluster and the veg entree looked different than the promised "patty" but tasted great. We ordered a vegetable tostada appetizer to share, with the sour cream on the side; it came the standard way, but we managed. What I found interesting was that none of the flatbreads on their menu could be "edited", which suggests that they come ready-made to a good extent. Hmm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZING!AndrewClosson123Dined on 8/19/2014We have eaten her several times and it is amazing! We defiantly be back!Special Features:
- Great ExperienceBarbDined on 8/18/2014It's been a while since we were at the Station. Four of us went for a Birthday lunch (wanted something special). Service was great, our waiter (his name has slipped my memory) was very attentive and accommodating, food was excellent. It was a very enjoyable experience. Would like to come to dinner there in the near future.Special Features:
- Better Than Expected!hunterpeeweeDined on 8/17/2014Had dinner with friends Sat night. I had the salmon, very good! My husband and friends had the shrimp and scallops dish, liked it as well. Our appetizer was put in late soa they came after our dinners. Waiter was apologetic so we kept them since we were still hungry. Two of us had the flatbread app special and the others had the clams. Food quality was very good! Lively spot, would go back!Special Features:
- Sunday Brunch on the Patioipt2VIPDined on 8/17/2014My husband and I and 2 friends had a lovely brunch at the Lambertville Station. Each of us tried something different and cleaned our plates. Service was good and unrushed.Special Features:
- Not GreatLBIndianDined on 8/17/2014Even with making a reservation for Lunch my Party had to wait over a half hour to be seated. Most of the table ordered soup to start their meal and they came out cold.... not luke warm but literally felt as though they were taken from the frig and served to us. I ordered the special of the day which was the swordfish and it was disappointing. The fish was tough, dry and had no flavor the slaw that it was served on was soggy and seemed old. I have been here for multiple meals in the past but this may be my last visit to Lambertville Station.
- Great timeDannyMc103Dined on 8/15/2014The snapper soup was the best I've had. Tuna tartare had a nice Asian touch with the won ton skins. The elk rib eye was done perfectly medium rare, although it didn't need so much of the berry demi it came in. Chocolate cake for dessert topped everything off nicely.Special Features:
- LunchwineanddineVIPDined on 8/15/2014Started off with a pretty good New England clam chowder. I ordered the crab cake (it was about 3 to 3 1/2 ounces of crab) some fresh vegetables and lots of rice. The crab was barely warm. I learned long ago that it can be a fruitless endeavor to complain about something like this, so I only mentioned it afterwards. I believe the meal was sitting too long before it was served to me. My server said he would mention it to the chef.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PRepennDined on 8/14/2014We chose an early dinner for our first visit. Their special of black bass filet contained small bones; being a fish person, I had no problem picking them out; another diner did have an issue and the waitperson noted all future patrons would be notified of small bones in the fish. The fresh tomato salad with the fish was amazing! So light and delicious. My spouse ordered the lamb and enjoyed every bite. We will be back!Special Features:
- LAF789Restaurantmaven12Dined on 8/11/2014Lambertville Station is great. I was extremely disappointed in their scallops, but they were very nice and adjusted the check for me which was extremely nice of them. Waiter was fine. I would go back in a heartbeat.Special Features:
- ExcellentretltDined on 8/10/2014Great place, the food, service, and ambience were excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- somewhat disappointingdisappointedDined on 8/10/2014I had expected better quality service and better tasting food. My kale salad with bacon dressing had way to much bacon. The scallops were overcooked and rubbery, not to mention no seasoning. The rice with he crab cakes was that our store brought Uncle Bens. Disappointed with the food and service. Reservations were running 30 min behind, no text to inform.Special Features:
- WONDERFUL!fantasticVIPDined on 8/10/2014We have been going to Lambertville Station Restaurant for over 15 years. I have never had a bad meal or bad service. They always take excellent care of us. I've been there with a party of 2 and a party of 12, everything is always perfect. Thank you!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/10/2014We went for dinner. We were not seated in the more pleasant dining room but rather in the large more lunch oriented area. There were 6 men at the next table that were loud and rowdy. It was a very unpleasant experience. The food was okay, not outstanding. I don't think I'll go back anytime soon.Special Features:
- Pete1776Pete1776Dined on 8/10/2014Great place to get away for the day and have a nice meal.Special Features:
- Hidden gemLuluDined on 8/8/2014What a wonderful restaurant. We sat on the beautiful patio outside. Our server was wonderful and a long time employee. The food was perfect. I had the scallop and shrimp risotto and it was awesome!! The elk and the filet meals came out cooked to perfection and they had a nice wine list. We will be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous SteamersGreatExperienceVIPDined on 8/8/2014We decided to have a series of small appetizers for dinner. Without a doubt, the steamers were the best. They were presented in a delicate broth of wine and garlic that brought out the flavors and they were complimented with two pieces of garlic bread. I would avoid the goat cheese tower. It was fine, don't get me wrong, but the balance of flavors was just a bit off. All in all, a lovely meal in a beautiful setting with excellent service. We enjoyed it all with a 10z pour of their house white. Perfect Will go back again.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014We had an enjoyable evening. The food and the service were excellent and we were seated in an area where we were able to hear each other and could enjoy the conversation.Special Features:

- Excellent experienceLadyDined on 8/6/2014Although a bit pricey for lunch, everything about Lambertville Station was delightful and well done. I should have asked for the a/c temp to be raised, but I didn't. So I froze with a light sweater. Just be prepared for the possibility of cool temps, and all the rest will be a 5-star memory.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I've gotta disagree with you big time. I am a very casual auctioneer, just trying to make a bit of gold on the side with stuff I don't use from drops and whatnot. I don't spend a whole lot, but am saving up for 280 flying.
I was devastated with Auctioneer broke; I tried out 3-4 other addons and hated they didn't have a version of the Appraisal tab on Auctioneer. I know it has hurt me gold-wise, but I didn't auction much at all until Auctioneer was back up and running.
I know there are a ton of features & functions of Auctioneer I don't use because I'm a casual auctioneer, and it may be more complicated than needed for a pro, but I love what I've got in it!

I really hate it when people say stuff like "oh yeah I'm body positive yeah! But I don't think you should be morbidly obese… no that's bad and unhealthy…."
- It isn't your place to determine based on someones body whether or not they're healthy. And by assuming a fat person is "morbidly obese" (can I just note that I think it's interesting that we only associate the word 'morbid' with obesity? Funny that you never hear of morbid thinness or morbid anything else- but that we use it to stigmatize fat people so that in our minds it's ok to shame them because we've decided that they're all deathly unhealthy) or in critical health is fat shaming. Because you're taking it upon yourself to assume that a fat person is unhealthy based on their body. You cannot assume anything about anyone based on their body– you cannot assume that a fat person is unhealthy, you cannot assume that a thin person is anorexic, you cannot assume that a muscular person is fit or that a trim person is the idyllic picture of (your version of) health— it's just not your fucking place.
- Your standards of health, just like your standards of beauty, do not apply to everyone.
- You cannot gauge someone's health by their body, their appearance, or their weight.
- What is this picture of health that you're even basing your idea that fat people are all unhealthy on? Health doesn't have an image- there is not an ideal. We need to fucking separate "health" from "body type." Just because I'm thin does not mean I'm healthy. Actually, I myself am decidedly unhealthy. But people look at me and assume I probably eat ok and work out- why? Because I'm thin and the mental correlation with most people is that thin = healthy and that healthy = you work out, exercise, and "eat right." But hey: there is no one way to be healthy. There is no one way to eat "right." THERE IS NOT A UNIVERSAL ONE SIZE FITS ALL VERSION OF WHAT "HEALTHY" OR "HEALTH" IS.
- Accepting fat bodies does not mean you get to determine what kind of fat is ok to accept. There is no "right kind of fat." You take it all- every single body type, every size, every degree of fat, every degree of skinny- or you take none of it. You cannot pick and choose.
My end point being: I don't think you can say that you're body positive but then pick and choose what bodies types are acceptable to be positive about and which ones you can still discriminate against based on your own perception of what "healthy" looks like.
Among 35 major national print publications, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, men had 81 percent of the quotes in stories about abortion, the research group said Thursday, while women had 12 percent, and organizations had 7 percent.
In stories about birth control, men scored 75 percent of the quotes, with women getting 19 percent and organizations getting 6 percent. Stories about Planned Parenthood had a similar ratio, with men getting 67 percent, women getting 26 percent, and organizations getting 7 percent.
Women fared a bit better in stories about women's rights, getting 31 percent of the quotes compared with 52 percent for men and 17 percent for organizations.
I don't know if rape jokes encourage rape culture. I don't care. You still shouldn't tell them.
Statistically, if you have told a rape joke to a group of more than five people, one of the people you told it to was a rape survivor, possibly of multiple rapes. They will not necessarily disclose this to you; rape apologism is endemic in society and most rape survivors are cautious about whom they tell. Some may even be too ashamed of their rape to admit it to anyone, or because of rape-minimizing narratives like "men can't be raped" and "I consented to oral, so I couldn't have been raped" may not admit it even to themselves. The fact remains: if you've told dozens of rape jokes in your life, then you have almost certainly told a joke that minimizes or trivializes rape in front of a survivor.
And if you put as your Facebook status "I totally raped at Halo today" for your two hundred Facebook friends to see, statistically, you have just reminded thirty-three people of one of the worst experiences of their entire lives.
To describe how well you did at a video game.
Good job!
Ok one last thing about body image/ acceptance campaigns then I'll shut up:
Have you ever noticed that they primarily target heavy girls or drastically thin, anorexic girls?
That seems pretty dumb to me that they only focus on these two extremes of the spectrum when the majority of young girls fall somewhere in the middle. And ones that only focus on bigger girls: god I feel like you're implying that bigger girls need more help accepting their body than others- which kind of implies that there's something wrong with bigger girls? Like the media assumes anyone past a size 10 must have this horrible self image and therefore needs to be told "HEY GIRL, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL- LOVE YOURSELF!!! REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES!"
And for that matter, who the fuck are you to tell me what a real woman is? Are you saying a size 2 isn't a real woman? That title is reserved only for women with wide hips and ample breasts? No sorry it doesn't work like that. It's really annoying that a lot of campaigns directed at empowering bigger women can't seem to do it without degrading thin women. Because we're all on the same playing field, we're all women. Our body type doesn't determine how much of a woman we are, and instead of waging this war between thin girls and bigger girls- campaigns should treat us like we are equals. Because we are. Women have individual struggles-double standards about body types to fight- and stereotypes to break down- but we are equals.
Being supportive of body equality and acceptance and empowering bigger women should not equate to degrading and shaming slender or thin women
Recently a follower told me that my ripping on Urban Outfitters was obnoxious. It's not the first time I've heard that. Actually I get told fairly often things to the effect of "oh you just don't like them because you want to be different and sound smart." And I totally see why you would think that, and admittedly, I'm obnoxious about it.
I've made a few posts before about why I dislike Urban Outfitters so much, namely this response to an ask. But I wanted to elaborate a little.
So I'll start from the bottom up. Urban Outfitters- a company which offers cool hip clothes with a progressive liberal attitude, right?
Yeah not really.
Meet Richard Hayne.
In 1970 Hayne and his wife founded Urban Outfitters. They have since branched out to open Free People and Anthropologie. He is the current president and CEO of said companies.
He's also a staunch right conservative. Him and his wife donated 13,000 dollars to Rick Santorum. He's also, unfortunately, the #262 richest person in the United States according to the 2008 Forbes 400 list (all of this information is well documented across the internet, and can be found on Hayne's own Wikipedia page.)
Hayne is also openly anti-gay marriage, in 2008 he personally pulled a pro-gay tee shirt from Urban Outfitter's shelves:
This is the tee shirt in question. Urban pulled it from their shelves after a week siting "too much bad press" regarding the garment. However, when the designer Tara Littman went to look for the "bad press" she could find no more than one blog post dissing the shirt. Read about the incident here.
And recently, Urban Outfitters sold a decidedly distasteful transphobic greeting card:
To my knowledge it has since been pulled from the site and is no longer available for purchase, but for a company whose image entails a "forward thinking" "progressive" attitude, their actions seem to embody the complete opposite.
While I'm talking about Urban selling merchandise displaying shitty messages: I think it's worth making note of their anti-woman and racist inventory of the past.
In 2010 Urban Outfitters sold this tee shirt which had "Eat less" emblazoned on it. In a day and age where some 10-15% of the population has some kind of serious eating disorder, I don't think I have to explain why this was an irresponsible, if not wreckless, shirt to sell to teen girls.
Urban sold this shirt in September and while it's not as blatantly offensive as "eat less" it's pretty anti-woman (which isn't all that surprising coming from a company run by extremely conservative Republicans) and promotes shitty behavior while also trying to make it look cute. So- I don't know, it bothered me.
Ok now let's talk about racism.
In 2010, they [Urban Outfitters] sold a shirt with two color listings: white/charcoal and obama/black:
I believe they apologized for it and blamed it on a web formatting error, but as this article so perfectly put it:
"Fine, Urban Outfitters: you're not racist, just careless. But you can't blame anyone for assuming, considering UO's history of controversy"
I won't spend too much longer on the careless and controversial things they've sold because going through it all would take a very long time, but I would like to talk about something Urban did on numerous occasions (along with many other clothing retailers, like Forever 21) that's very racist:
labeling apparel as "Navajo"
The folowing articles perfectly articulate why labeling products as "Navajo" is offensive and wrong:
An Open Letter to Urban Outfitters on Columbus Day by Sasha Houston Brown
Urban Outfitters Taken to Task for Faux 'Navajo' Products by Allison Berry
Urban Outfitters Catches Heat Over 'Navajo hipster panty' and Other Bright Ideas by Jamie Peck
In the first article, an open letter by Sasha Houston Brown, she laid down why she was offended by the merchandise:
In all seriousness, as a Native American woman, I am deeply distressed by your company's mass marketed collection of distasteful and racially demeaning apparel and décor. I take personal offense to the blatant racism and perverted cultural appropriation your store features this season as "fashion."
All too often industries, sports teams and ignorant individuals legitimize racism under the guise of cultural "appreciation". There is nothing honorable or historically appreciative in selling items such as the Navajo Print Fabric Wrapped Flask, Peace Treaty Feather Necklace, Staring at Stars Skull Native Headdress T-shirt or the Navajo Hipster Panty. These and the dozens of other tacky products you are currently selling referencing Native America make a mockery of our identity and unique cultures.
She also points out that falsely labeling merchandise as 'Navajo' when it is not, is against the law:
"The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. It is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian or Indian Tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization, resident within the United States. If a business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000".
Urban issued an apology and renamed the products but never admitted that they were wrong in the first place.
The cultural appropriation of Native American garments for the sake of fashion is a problem not new or specific to Urban Outfitters but I do feel as though they perpetuate it by continuing to sell apparel which mimics and bastardizes native wear.
Now let's look at a few cases of Urban Outfitters stealing and copying original work:
The most famous instance was in 2011 when popular Etsy vendor Tru.Che, miss Stevie Koerner, saw that Urban Outfitters had quite literally made and sold carbon copies of her easily recognizable "I heart destination" necklaces.
Hers is on the right, Urban's version is on the left.
The accusations of thievery went viral, trending on twitter, appearing on countless blogs, and the story was eventually picked up by the Washing Post, who noted that this wasn't the first time Urban had ripped off an independent designer.
(in the case of miss Koerner's jewelry line it could not legally be proven that the design was a copy, she did not sue, and Urban eventually pulled the necklaces.)
Johnny Cupcakes on the left, Urban's ripoff on the right
In 2004 Urban outfitters asked for some samples from Johnny Cupcakes, an independent clothing brand based out of Boston. The impression was that they were considering carrying some of the label's shirts, however Urban decided not to carry any of the shirts and never returned the samples. Two years later, in 2006, they put out and sold the tee shirt featured in the above right. A visible copy of Johnny's design. No legal action was taken.
There are so many instances of Urban stealing work that instead of talking about it all I'll just link you:
Urban steals a tee shirt design from independent brand Crownfarmer
Urban copies noted fashion house Chloe
Urban steals someones work from Deviant art
Now I'm going to talk about what I hate most about Urban Outfitters, and they aren't alone in this, but that's no excuse to practice it nonetheless: the utilization sweatshop and child labor. This is something that I find completely inexcusable of any company to practice, I've talked about it a bit here and here.
Urban Outfitters outsources their clothing from sweatshops overseas, there has been some (but not much) evidence found that factories of theirs in China utilized child labor. Though there is evidence that UO buys cotton from suppliers who obtained it by means of forced child labor in Uzbekistan's cotton fields and uses said cotton in their garments (Aeropostale and Forever 21 are guilty of this as well.)
In 2008, LongView Funds, a mutual funds company with large shares of Urban Outfitters, urged them [UO] to adopt what is called "international labor standards." According to Wikipeia, this is what that entails:
International labor standards refer to conventions agreed upon by international actors, resulting from a series of value judgments, set forth to protect basic worker rights, enhance workers' job security, and improve their terms of employment on a global scale. The intent of such standards, then, is to establish a worldwide minimum level of protection from inhumane labor practices through the adoption and implementation of said measures. From a theoretical standpoint, it has been maintained, on ethical grounds, that there are certain basic human rights that are universal to mankind. Thus, it is the aim of international labor standards to ensure the provision of such rights in the workplace, such as against workplace aggression, bulling, discrimination and gender inequality on the other hands for working diversity, workplace democracy and empowerment.
However, UO refused to adopt and disclose a code of conduct based on basic, internationally-recognized human rights (i.e.: they declined to adopt international labor standards.) They instead released a statement saying that they "expect[ed] suppliers to adhere to child-labor laws."
So there you have it. I hate Urban Outfitters. I hate their business model, I hate the people running it, I hate their racism, I hate that they steal work, and most of all I hate their use of unethical labor. And you know what? I'm going to be obnoxious about it. Because I think UO is a really shitty company. Does that mean i think everyone who shops there is shitty? No. Do I think everyone who works there is shitty? No. Do I hate all their clothing? No.
I don't think you should shop there, in fact I would encourage you not to. But where you shop is your choice and I fully respect and understand your choices even if they are different than my own. If you really like UO but are maybe questioning shopping there I would encourage you to check out this list of ethical alternatives to Urban Outfitters.
I know this post will come across as obnoxious and even self righteous, please know that is not my intention. If you want to shop at Urban Outfitters by all means do so, my aim isn't to be judgmental of anyone who does. I really just think and believe that consumers have a right to know about where they're shopping.
And just for the record, UO may be a shitty company but they aren't alone. I've made a post before about why I dislike Forever 21 so much, and:
The Gap corporation (GAP, Old Navy, Banana Republic) has an extensive history of inhumane labor practices, including child labor
Topshop has repeatedly gotten in trouble for utilizing sweatshops
along with Guess, Walmart, Target- the list goes on and on. Even American Apparel, a company that I've bought from in the past but am reconsidering supporting, has a seedy history.
This was long and rambly but yeah anyway I plan to stay very obnoxious when it comes to things I think are wrong.
You know what I find really ironic about the Invisible Children?
Is that- not that their cause, in theory, isn't a commendable one- but that the children they aim to protect, ones threatened by the LRA (which is not thought to be operating in North Uganda at this time) aren't invisible at all. The threat of the LRA is well documented and fairy publicized.
The real invisible children at this point are those in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the presence of the LRA is actually felt right now.
And beyond that, the children who suffer in great numbers without much public interest from the Western hemisphere are those suffering from nodding disease, which effects some 3,000 in Uganda alone and has elluded the medical and sciene community, having no cure.
So, I don't know, there are obviously a ton of problems with Invisible Children, but I think it's funny how they seem to pick and choose which children they want to focus on. While I don't know enough about it all to form a very solid opinion I would think that it's because it's a whole lot easier to make manipulative propaganda and pseudo documentaries that inflict white guilt and make you sympathize with children affected by wars and war criminals than it is children affected by a disease.
russellstovers replied to your post: Have you seen the Doctor Pepper 10 commercials? …
I think it's because Diet soda is usually marketed towards women… So they made a campaign to market it towards men. Personally I think it's funny.
I just don't think it's funny?
And by thinking it's not funny I'm probably a humorless bitch but come on it's literally the most sexist gender scripted commercial on television since the 60s and it's not even funny like the writing isn't funny IT HAS NO REDEEMING QUALITIES IT'S ONLY PERPETUATING REALLY DUMB GENDER STEREOTYPES WHICH MAKES ME UPSET
I think you can market a drink to men without bashing women and being sexist and stupid

All the residents in the home were able to escape, but the house was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
While the cause of the 2 p.m. blaze had yet to be determined as of 2:30 p.m. Monday, Patterson Division Chief Jeff Breasher said the fire did not seem suspicious.
Firefighters worked for more than a half hour getting the fire under control before getting to the "mop-up" phase of extinguishing the fire completely. Several holes in the walls of the house provided a glimpse to the extensive damage inside.
The Irrigator will have an update when more details become available.

I've never understood how young females can be republicans when all current republican candidates don't support women's rights. like…how can you support someone who doesn't see all human beings (including you) as equal? i understand the religious appeal to conservatism, but not all liberals are atheists or lacking morals. liberals are just for religious freedom, while conservatives think atheists are satan (exaggeration - my bad).
most of the people i've met in college who are republicans are ONLY republicans because that's how they were raised, and have yet to venture out into the real world with no help from mommy and daddy at all. they haven't had to question things, to think about others not in their shoes.
i'm not saying all republicans are heartless toolbags. i have conservative friends. it's just something i have trouble wrapping my head around, i suppose. being raised with no money definitely brings a different perspective.
i'm also not saying that just because you are a republican, you should always vote for a republican simply because you disagree with the opponent's views. The same thing goes for democrats. Too many people think "man, obama really fucked things up" and may think that means they need to vote a republican in next term. but in my opinion, he is the best man for the job. look at the republican candidates: a man named after a lizard, a billionaire white dude, an old racist, or a man who still thinks we live in 450 a.d. I'd have to say the black dude who supports gay marriage beats all 4 of those dildos.
I'm looking at you, Mitt Romney. If life supposedly begins at conception, then why does it end at birth?
—Mitt Romney, addressing a crowd in Alabama earlier this week.
I totally see this logic. One time, my Grandma owned a Chrysler, so naturally, I know how to rebuild the carbureator in one now. And my sister went to college in Florida; therefore, I know instinctively how to prepare for a hurricane. And my downstairs neighbor has a lot of sex. So I'm pregnant.
Because this is totally how the world works.
Oh, and by the way, assclown, I don't exactly place owning, whipping, and beating fellow humans into forced labor under the umbrella of "working closely together with the black community."
He obviously has a lot of practice with gussying up a resume.
(via rafi-dangelo)
what's wrong with ron paul?
- He doesn't believe in the separation of church and state.
- He believes abortion should be illegal.
- He doesn't support the repeal of DoMA and didn't support the repeal of DADT.
- He doesn't support putting more money into inner-city schools, but does support vouchers for religious schools.
- He believes creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public schools.
- He doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS.
- While he doesn't support a federal ban on gay marriage, he also doesn't support a federal law legalizing gay marriage. Some see this as a states' rights issue, and this is how he frames it, but he does support other federal legalization movements (drugs, for example).
- His newsletter spouted horrible racist content for twenty years. He denies writing any of it, but if he allowed this content to go out under his name, he either approved it or was so ignorant of both the type of people he associates with and the type of content going under his name that he shouldn't be trusted to run anything.
- He believes in reinstating the gold standard, which most economists believe was one of the major causes of several financial crises at the turn of the century, including the Great Depression.
- He believes in free market capitalism.
- He wants to get rid of Affirmative Action, which has been shown time and again to be ineffective and not good enough.
His stance on drugs and wars win him a lot of liberal fans, but only if they don't look at literally anything else he stands for.

ugh, seriously. so many people are only pro-paul because he's in favor of weed. everyone forgets about the fact that he's racist and couldn't give two shits about women's rights.
A while ago, after Newt Gingrich called President Obama "the greatest food stamp president" in history, I wrote about the economic impact of food stamps (officially, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). In short, food stamps are incredibly effective stimulus during an economic downturn — much more effective than, say, tax cuts for high earners, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
That's the economic benefit. Now here's the moral benefit: SNAP benefits cut the number of children living in extreme poverty by half. That's right, half. The chart above, from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, illustrates the difference. (Their blog, offthechartsblog.org, is a great resource if you are, like me, a fan of charts about public policy.)
Between 1996 and 2011, the number of extremely poor families (those living on $2 per person per day) more than doubled, to 1.46 million. The number of children living in extreme poverty also doubled, to 2.8 million.
But if you include SNAP benefits as income, the number of extremely poor families drops from 1.46 million to 800,000. And the number of extremely poor children drops from 2.8 million to 1.4 million. It drops by half.
The most striking illustration of the effectiveness of food stamps is in the section of the chart covering the recession/downturn, from 2008 to 2011. Look at the line for the number of families that would be living in extreme poverty without food stamps (in blue). Then look at the line for families living in extreme poverty with food stamps (in red). The blue line shoots up dramatically during the economic crisis. The red line remains essentially static. What that means is that increases in SNAP benefits as part of the Recovery Act saved more than half a million families from sinking into extreme poverty after the financial crisis.
As I said before, attacking Obama as "the greatest food stamp president" in history may be offensive, but in a way, it's not even an insult. It's like slamming FDR for being "the greatest public works president" in history.
There you have it folks
But if I just work hard enough…
link cards/food stamps/food shelters do NOT control what you eat. You DO get to pick the groceries you buy, and almost all walmarts take food stamps. I would know, I have an EBT (same thing as Link I assume — not familiar with your state) card. You can't buy booze or cigs (which is obviously a great restriction) but you CAN buy pizza and chips. It's hilarious to think that YOU can eat junk food because you can pay your bills, but I shouldn't be able to because I need a little help financially while in school. and the MAJORITY of people on welfare have jobs. so you shouldn't base your opinions on the few people who fuck over the government…

"1975: I had an abortion, 2012: I've raised my six children"
My mom had an abortion when she was 22 because she didn't have the resources, she was too young and her own words, 'too irresponsible'. She discovered she was pregnant after just ending an abusive relationship.
She has no regrets. I am proud to be her daughter.

The Oles drew first blood when quarterback Matt Penz '08 scored his first rushing touchdown of the season with three minutes remaining in the first quarter. Defensive tackle Nick Tolen '10 added two points on a quarterback sack seconds later. Penz then connected with Andrew Schmiesing '08 early in the second quarter, giving the Oles a 15-0 advantage after a missed point attempt. Carleton put their first points on the board with a touchdown pass, but the Oles responded with a Paul Fortman '08 field goal and a Ben Roff '08 rushing touchdown, taking a 25-7 advantage to halftime.
Evan Endsley '09 added a touchdown in the third quarter, and Fortman made another field goal to extend the Ole lead. Carleton would score another touchdown and convert a two-point attempt, but it was too little too late: Horace Gant '08 and John Haberman '10 scored touchdowns to give the Oles an untouchable 48-15 lead.
Offensively, the Oles played one of their strongest games of the season, collecting 547 total yards. Haberman led a St. Olaf rushing attack that garnered a season high 275 yards, carrying the ball just eight times for 96 yards and one touchdown. Endsley neared the century mark as well with 92 yards on 11 carries. Backs Bobby Andrade '07 and Roff pounded out tough yards on the ground, garnering 43 and 19 yards, respectively.
Penz completed 16 of his 31 pass attempts for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Endsley was his favorite target, catching five passes for 100 yards and one touchdown. Schmiesing caught three passes for 61 yards and a touchdown, while Preston St. John '08 and Roff each caught two balls for 38 and 14 yards, respectively.
One concern the Ole defense faced going into Saturdays game was how to contain Carletons running game and running back R.J. Jackson. The much-hyped Jackson, a preseason all-American, even taunted the Ole defense on Facebook.
"Y'all ... ain't stop me and y'all never will cuz y'all ... sorry in my eyes. With love from your boy #25."
While clearly able to run his mouth, Jackson had a difficult time running the ball. The Ole defense made an on-field statement, limiting Jackson to -2 yards on the game, and limiting the Carleton rushing attack to -36 yards.
The one-dimensional Knights attempted 64 passes on the game, competing just 29 of them.
Several members of the Ole defense played well, including Nick Rydberg '08, who posted five tackles, including three quarterback sacks, and intercepted one pass. Chris Feehan '07 earned five tackles, forced a fumble and broke up two passes. Eight Oles earned a share of 11 quarterback sacks, including Rydberg with three, and Steven Wood '07 and Tolen, who earned two sacks each.
Defensive back Deontae Hutchins '08 credited both offense and defense for jobs well done.
"The offense did their thing, as they always do," Hutchins said. "And the defense excelled. We came ready to play."
With just one game left in the season, Penz is closing in on St. Olafs single season record for passing yards. The record is currently 2,591 yards, set by Ole great Jason Wilsey '06 last season. With 2,450 passing yards already this season, Penz is just 141 yards shy of Wilseys record, and is on pace to throw for 2,722 yards this season.
St. Olaf will play St. Thomas this Saturday at 1 p.m. in St. Paul.

Attentive readers will know that Google Maps is included among these routing apps, which means that you can actually use this trick to get directions via Google Maps using Siri.
Siri audio output. If your car has a built-in speakerphone, or if you have a Bluetooth accessory that has a microphone and speakers, you can choose which one Siri listens to for commands. When you click and hold the iPhone's Home button, you'll see a speaker icon to the right of the main Siri button. Tap it, and you'll get a menu of all the various sound inputs your iPhone can use; select the one you want, and Siri will listen using that microphone and, if possible, give its feedback via those speakers.
Your own private IMDb. You probably already know that you can use Siri to get information about what's playing at movie theaters near you. But Siri's also in expert in pretty much every motion picture ever made. That means you can ask questions about your favorite films, but you can also make Siri do more of the legwork for you when, say, you're curious about which films specific actors have appeared in together. You might ask, "What movies star both Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry?" And Siri will, in turn, reply with both The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Rugrats In Paris.
Get movie reviews. Not sure if a given movie is worth your time? Just ask Siri: "Is Rugrats In Paris any good?" Siri replies with a review from Rotten Tomatoes.
Editing Siri. Sometimes Siri doesn't understand you quite right. Maybe you told it to call your friend "Aaron" and it thought you said "Erin." Fortunately, you can fix Siri's mistake; after Siri reports that she doesn't know what you're talking about, scroll up and find the speech bubble where Siri records what it thinks you said. Then tap that bubble, and you'll find that you can now edit what Siri heard and resubmit your request.
If you don't want to bother typing out a long correction, you can also use iOS's built-in dictation feature to enter your corrected text. Just tap the microphone in the keyboard and speak your text aloud. We'll give you time to make your own Inception joke about using Siri to fix Siri.
