University of Maryland — College Park, Maryland
We hate to hate on the University of Maryland, home to many a Terp Bro. UMD's redbrick buildings are quaint and the layout is picturesque, especially when coed's flock to the McKeldin Mall to sunbath in the spring. But as soon as you leave the campus, the town of College Park notoriously sucks thanks to lots of low-income housing and a high crime rate. It's hard for the shittiness of its surroundings to not bleed into the ugliness of the campus itself. After a violent shooting in a campus parking lot in February, one student Tweeted "I get more texts from UMD Crime Alert than i do from actual people." Another added "College park is getting too real now. Its time for campusPD to focus on crime rather than speeders, underage drinking, loud music, etc." Not our idea of a fun place to spend four years.
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology – Rapid City, South Dakota
This school could've made the list based on the name itself. The campus isn't a massacre by any means, but the surrounding area in Rapid City is both run-down, and not the most family-friendly place in the world. Shady characters abound, and the campus itself is almost like one of those safe-zones your capture the flag game. And you really don't want to leave the safe zone.
As for the students? Well, at least their salaries aren't ugly.
North Carolina State University – Raleigh, North Carolina
Come to the Raleigh corner of the Research Triangle to overdose on red brick buildings! NC State isn't necessarily fugly in itself, it's just architecturally homogeneous to the point of nausea. Like staring at a white wall until your brain starts playing tricks on you. There are more colors in the rainbow than just red and white, Wolfpack. The most discernable feature of NC State's campus is the ultra high-tech James B. Hunt Jr. Library, which looks like a tortuous airport terminal or an intergalactic spaceship designed by Stanley Kubrick while tripping balls on acid. The Tri-Towers and West Campus residence halls at NCSU vaguely resemble Stalin's vision for utopian housing solutions. Oh, did we neglect to mention the leaky nuclear reactor on campus? It probably won't be mentioned on your campus tour, either. The Vetern's Memorial Bell Tower is cool, though.
Brandeis University – Waltham, Massachusetts
It's just kind of all over the place–you have these modern looking buildings, you've got a bunch of multi-colored brick shit, and you've got a castle. It's almost like they decided to put the whole campus in a blender, but forgot to turn the thing on. Says Complex Magazine, "Planes of brick that slice into glass walls never really struck gold as an architectural trend."
Boston University – Boston, Massachusetts
If we are talking ugly buildings at a school in Boston, MIT may narrowly beat out the Terriers. But if your school's "beach" consists of a small grassy area, has no water, and is located right next to a major highway, you're not exactly doing yourself a lot of favors when it comes to attractiveness.
"BU Beach" is actually a nice, vibrant, frisbee-infested place as the weather permits. Except that this is Boston and during the school year, the weather doesn't exactly do that.
The campus is rather enormous and takes up a number of stops on the T, but doesn't necessarily make anybody drop dead with awe. It's just kind of there, like a your very vocal Uncle. A much larger presence than it probably should be, and annoyingly in-your-face.

Carnegie Mellon University — PIttsburgh, Pennsylvania
Common reaction to a first time CMU visitor: "Boy, Hamerschlag Hall sure is one stately looking building!" Then you remember you're in Pittsburgh, where the architectural modus operandi is to make everything look like a turn-of-the-century train station. At CMU, there is still a sense of decorum in designing a campus like a 19th century industrialist would. Anyway, it takes a certain type of rich, brainiac sadomasochist hell bent on becoming an engineer go to school in a city that averages only 59 sunny days per year. Allow College Prowler to explain the concept of "CMU Goggles":
"At CMU, it is very important to become familiar with something called, "CMU goggles." Similar to beer goggles, the longer you wear your CMU goggles, the more attractive the campus becomes. Obviously, these are not literal "goggles"; however, the longer students are at CMU, the more frequent that a 5 or 6 in the outside world becomes an 8 or 9 (usually if people would describe someone as a 10, they really are—there's no hiding hotness like that). The reasons for these goggles are varied. Some would say it's because you get used to the people and decide that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. However, most are pretty optimistic about their fellow students. CMU goggles exist for most students because they have just come to know the people behind the looks. Students agree that everyone here is driven, talented, and intelligent, and a large portion are truly friendly and outgoing—you'll find that the looks don't matter as much after a few years."
For further comment, we refer you to Urban Dictionary.
Case Western – Cleveland, Ohio
Case Western achieved some notoriety last year for being ranked atop The Princeton Review's list of "Least Beautiful Campuses" in America. And it's not exactly hard to see the rationale. Located in the same city that had this wonderful tourism video, the campus is generally as bland as the oft-uninspired weather. But perhaps the ugliest aspect of Case is that for a relatively prestigious engineering and science school (areas predicated on future hope and possibilities), it sits in perhaps one of the foremost centers of industrial decline. Mixed messaging at best.
Rutgers — New Brunswick, New Jersey
It's extremely disingenuous that the official campus tours at Rutgers do not include a ride on a public bus around New Brunswick. The school's freakin' bus system should be on the very front of the freakin' brochure. Get on the bus, go to class, get on the bus, go to class at another campus, repeat, go home: Since Rutgers University is spread across a few campuses in greater New Brunswick, that's the RU experience in a nutshell. Fun fact: Rutgers Campus Buses shuttling students around New Brunswick are the Garden State's second-largest public bus service, right after NJ Transit. Sure, parts of the Busch Campus are wide-open, grassy, and boast shiny new academic buildings, but do you enjoy living in dorms that look like VA Hospitals? No thanks. Parts of the campus are parking lots as big as oceans, which is fitting since it is New Jersey. The Newark Campus isn't much better, either. There's not enough Mr. C's fat sandwiches in the world to make the RU Screw more palatable.
Drexel University – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
So you want to go to college in the City of Brotherly Love but couldn't get into UPenn and feel like you're too smart/rich/superior for Temple? You must be a Drexel Dragon! Existing in the drab West Philly hellscape (the same one Fresh Prince ran away from and never came back to) a stone's throw away from 30th Street Station, Drexel is Philly's redheaded stepchild institute of higher education. Sure, it's a fine academic institution for students who tried their very hardest to get a 1300 on the SATs, but the campus itself exists almost entirely in UPenn's shadow. Fortunately the school's is finally getting around to upgrading it's architecture from that of an Eastern Bloc country. Meanwhile, the school's two most distinguishing features remain a sidewalk fountain on Woodland Walk (which pales in comparison to UPenn's picturesque Locus Walk) and a railroad trestle over Market Street. If there's a tree or blade of grass in a 10-block radius of what Drexel calls home, we've never seen it.
UMass — Amherst, Massachusetts
Last year, the UMass student paper ran an article titled "Realization of the Beauty of UMass." The article actually justifies its points quite nicely, but the premise of the whole thing is strikingly similar to the attitude of a girl who constantly feels the need to tell you that "she isn't high maintenance"–if she has to go out of her way to disprove it, it's because it's true:
Now granted, if you were to pluck some of our buildings off the campus like a single petal plucked off a radiant sunflower in the springtime and place it, say, in a Hadley parking lot, the aesthetic beauty of that single building might not shine through. This can be said of some of the more architecturally brutal buildings on campus – your Machmers and your Campus Centers. Yet these buildings, when placed among the more classically beautiful buildings on campus – your Goodells and your Old Chapels – deliver the same kind of aesthetic beauty one might see in a collage made up of materials found both in a yard of old scrap metal and a yard of abandoned Greek era sculptures, if such a thing exists (and I hope it does).
Then we have buildings like Herter, buildings that would make a perfect backdrop for a movie about Bosnia and Herzegovina. These buildings might strike one, at first glance as being, well, ugly. A building like Herter is not beautiful in the same way the Amherst College Octagon is beautiful. And yes, the interiors of these buildings are often messy. The bathroom walls in these buildings are often covered in amateur graffiti (relieving myself in Herter today, I saw "Remember the Alamo" written in black sharpie and then next to it in faint blue pen: "Remember the what?" and then over that in all caps "DUBSTEP SUCKS"). Yet, a building like Herter, placed next to the grass outside the Haigis Mall and only a short walk away from the campus pond, makes our campus beautiful in a fragmented sense. Beautiful in the way the random circular patterns of ceiling stucco are beautiful or the way the graffiti in the Herter bathroom is beautiful.
If that weren't enough, consider that this is UMASS, aka the preferred college destination of the vulgar collective known as Massholes. This is a culture that EMBRACES ugliness. From choice of women, to the nasty gash from the bah-fight, to their general world-view, nowhere does ugly quite like UMass.

Monday Fun-Day Giveaway: Thinking Putty & Funny Product Warnings
April 30, 2012 | Posted By: Heather Stephens | Categorized in: FatWallet, Family
Congratulations to winning members: michele13, AndyWarhol, and zyla1969!
Why should Monday's be dreaded? Let's start the week off with a little fun and a giveaway! Welcome to Monday Fun-Day on FatWallet's Facebook, Twitter, & Blog!
Funny Product WarningsHave you ever read the warnings on your kid's toys? I think they are hilarious. I remember when we bought my baby daughter a jumpy-saucer-toy-seat thing (whatever they're called), the warnings on the back said that the toy was not to be used to send the child sledding down a hill, as a flotation device and to never pull a child in the saucer behind a boat. What?
So you mean to tell me that some stupid parent tried these things, they didn't work and they complained to the company about it, causing them to rewrite the warnings on their products? Do companies like this have a panel of lawyers who brainstorm all the idiotic things someone might use that product for in order to cover themselves legally?
I don't know how the legal stuff works, but I really enjoy reading them anyway.
Stupid Parent Tricks:This weekend I had my own stupid parent moment. FatWallet gave us some thinking putty in my welcome basket when I started here last summer. The kids stumbled across it again this weekend and everyone was playing with it off and on at the kitchen table while my husband, my dad and I were outside putting up a new swing set.
I should have been supervising them, but I wasn't thinking that they could do much harm with it, until my mom called outside to me, laughing, "Heather, we need you in here. We have a situation I don't know how to handle."
My 4 year old son had put the thinking putty into his hair, thinking it would make a neat texture like it does when you smash it into your palm. His warm little hands had made the thinking putty really soft, and it had melted into his hair, right down to the scalp.
We couldn't pull it out without pulling his hair and I was at a loss for ideas. We tried icing it, picking at it and nothing worked. And then my mom suggested massage oil. I totally doubted whether it would work, but sure enough it made his short hair slippery enough to slowly work the silly putty out of it.
So while the Thinking Putty label says don't hit it with a hammer, maybe it should also say don't put it in your hair! And maybe the "not suitable for children under 3 years" should be raised to 5?
Monday Fun-Day Thinking Putty Giveaway!Here's what you have to do to enter:
2. What funny product warnings have you read? Have you or your kids gotten into any funny 'sticky' situations like this? Share them in the comments below!

No sticky situations yet but give them time -they are only 6 and 8 so far. Love the labels that warn you not to iron clothes while wearing them.

i love how all cooking sprays say "avoid spraying in eyes", as if i was planning on it.
April 30, 2012 | Posted By: michele13
My favorites are always the,'Do not use while bathing,' on hair dryers, 'Do not stick in electric socket,' on most anything metal, and 'This product not intended for use as a dental drill.' The last one is on a Dremel drill... and um, my Mom's been using one on her dentures for many many years...lol!!

Caution: Do not spray directly into eyes (on bottle of air deodorizer). Question: Is it OK to spray indirectly into eyes???

The little packets that keep moisture away are officially called "do not eats" in our house. We recently found a brand new "do not eat" that is actually edible!!! :) We were so excited that we are in the process of making a "do not eat" variety selection in a shadow box for the living room wall. ;)

Thanks for playing everyone! Love your funny product warnings. I'll post the winner shortly! :)

Bought this today at jaspers for $4.99. Intrigued by a "pale doppelbock". Here goes...
Poured some into a Sam Adams "Perfect Pint" glass... This is a clear bier with a deep copper hue. The carbo is plentiful and aggressive, rapidly heading topside. The head is light tan, creamy and fine, but somewhat thin, though it still covers the bier throughout. Lacing is decent as well. The aroma has some caramel malt, but also a healthy amount of floral hopping, reminding me more of a Maibock than a Doppel. Has a very nice mouthfeel; medium-plus for body and it is quite smooth and creamy on the tongue.
The flavor, unlike the aroma, has lots more malt than hops. There's some toasty caramel and a bit of breadyness, plus some cookie dough sweetness. Hoppyness is lighter here than in the nose, but is still present in floral form, also contributing some green apple/pear notes. A slight touch of bitterness does linger, mixed in with some mild alcohol-derived heat. I'd term this more of an imperial Maibock than a pale Doppelbock, but regardless of what it's called, I rather like it. And $4.99 is a reasonable price. Prosit!!

22oz bomber bottle with a large sky blue and cream label. Simple label with the brewery and the name of the beer in the middle with a large "25" in the background. Above the name is a large print paragraph that mentions they have been in business for 25 years.
When poured into a simple Pilsner glass, the Pale Doppelbock was a semi hazy amber with some faint honey yellow highlights along the side. Minimal off white colored head of foam on top of this amber colored brew. It wasn't anything special. It did however have good retention that left behind a small but solid string of rings along the side. I'm not a fan of the color of beer, but at least it's not a horrible color.
I thought the aroma was going to be mostly toasted malt, but that wasn't the case. Instead it was lightly malty with toasted malt and a huge whiff a banana and alcohol. Following the alcohol soaked banana was a hint of lemon. I wish I could say that there was more than just malt, banana, alcohol, and a little lemon in the aroma, but I can't. This beer wasn't going to offer my nose anymore aromas. On a positive note, when the beer really warmed up, the alcohol subsided a little bit, but it didn't let through any more aromas.
I was hoping that the taste wasn't going to take the alcohol course than the aroma did. Long story short, the taste followed in the same footsteps as the aroma. That's sad. Kicking off the taste was a short lived sweet toasted malt bite. Quickly following the malt was a huge taste of alcohol. Intermingled with the alcohol was some more banana and lemon. That's all folks! The taste was all about the alcohol. If you're relying on one flavor to get the beer through a taste, make sure you don't rely on the alcohol.
This was a medium bodied Pale Doppelbock that had decent carbonation and big ass alcohol bite. This beer is 9% ABV and Full Sail wanted you to feel every drop of it. The aftertaste was that off sweet toasted malts, banana, and more alcohol. This aftertaste doesn't linger. The only thing that lingers in this beer is the alcohol.
I'm not a fan a Pale Doppelbocks and I was hoping that this beer would change that. It in fact did the opposite. I still dislike Pale Doppelbocks. This beer relied to heavily on the alcohol to get it though. Would I buy it again? Hell no! Unless I want another boozy Doppelbock. If you're celebrating your 25th year in business, please don't brew a Pale Doppelbock. Brew something else.

nothing special here, but it may have sat too long. hazy and thick as anything, this paler colored caramel liquid is very dense, and minimally heady. its sweet smelling, like toffee and stale german malts. lager yeast is not detectable, but a high residual sugar content will define this brew. the first sip is astonishingly thick in texture, certainly all of 9%, and definitely an overshoot on the grain bill, given the final gravity of this. sweet and sticky, mouth coating, and stale, it lacks refinement and nuance. not sure it fits very well into the bock family either. a heavy beer from the outset, even though it has solid carbonation it drinks slowly at best. pale malt doesnt lighten anything. possibly a good winter drink for those who like these sugar bombs, but it was a tough bomber for me. definitely underwhelming in all capacities.

This bottle piqued my interest while we were traveling in Jackson, Wyoming. 22 oz poured into my beer goblet.
Appearance: Slight haze to this inviting golden beer. It has a one finger wide solid egg shell colored head. The lacing is quite good.
Smell: Some delicious smells from this beer. A nice spicy yeast aroma mixes with some rich crystal malt. There is a bit of booziness to this beer, it is 9.0 ABV.
Taste: This is an interesting beer. It has the strength and "flavor" of a dark doppel, but it does not have the dark color. The flavor is only missing a bit of the roastiness of a standard doppelbock. There is a touch of caramel sweetness in the middle and the finish. The spiciness from the scent carries over to the taste. I think this should be a lager yeast, contributing little to the taste; but did they use an ale yeast to add some more flavor?
Mouthfeel: Thick and sticky, the body is potent. The carbonation is a bit lower.
Overall: An interesting experiment. I congratulate Full Sail on something new (at least to me) and well done.

22oz bomber obtained last night for $6.99 at Koozie's in Dover, NH. Served cold in a tulip.
A: Cloudy copper tan brew. Gentle pour generates a thin beige head with decent retention.
S: Moderately thick aroma of raw starchy grain. Faint hints of light caramel.
T: Taste is same as the smell, plus some lemony herbal hops. Lemon herb lingers in the finish. Relatively simple brew. Very mild hint of alcohol spice, but mostly controlled/ hidden.
M: On the thinner side of moderately thick. Carbo is appropriately light.
O: "Pale Doppelbock" is a very appropriate name. Well-balanced and very simple brew. Light, semi-thick, starchy, smooth. The malt is detected much more in the body and smell than it is in the taste. Moderate hop level is about the only thing there is to the taste, nearly unchecked and a bit unbalanced in that regard. Stronger maltiness in the flavor would be a welcome balancing force.

Pours a finger of head on a clear medium straw colored body.
The aroma has a rich caramel malt aroma mixed with lemon and pine.
The taste starts with caramel sweetness, then some moderate pine and lemon bitterness comes through, finishes with the caramel sweet again.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
It's a hoppier and less sweet doppelbock. I enjoyed it.

Inquest opened into Snowdonia cliff fall deaths
An inquest at Caernarfon has been opened and adjourned on two climbers whose bodies were found in the sea at the foot of cliffs near Holyhead.
They were student Jack Hutton-Potts, 23, of Petersfield in Hampshire and 48-year-old Vaughan Richard Holme of Horsham in West Sussex.
The pair had been roped together on the Gogarth cliffs which are up to 400ft tall near the North Stack at Holyhead on the north coast of Anglesey.
Friends raised the alarm on Saturday night when they failed to meet them. Three lifeboats and an RAF helicopter from the nearby Valley base took part in a major search.
The bodies were found in the sea on Sunday morning and recovered by the crew of a lifeboat.

Jim McKee, third from right, of Turners Station, and nine other Kentuckians traveled to Eugene, Ore. July 23 through July 28 to officiate at the World Junior Track and Field Championships.
The 10 USATF Kentucky officials were the highest total sent by any association to the contest.
Jamie Walsh and Chris Gartside traveled a long way to share their passion for soccer with young Henry County soccer players this week.
Walsh, from Cardiff, Wales and Gartside, from Manchester, England, are teaching soccer skills across the country this summer as part of the Challenger Sports Program.
Inspiration abounds for the old guy
A few weeks ago I mentioned that a couple of stories I did on local athletes combined with the pain I experienced refereeing some middle school basketball games had motivated me to get back on my bike and start exercising again.
Well, almost a month later I have ridden about 10 times with most of the rides being only 10 miles long.
At this point I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Only 10 miles. Are you kidding?"
Stephanie Barrows, who took over the EHS volleyball program five years ago and rebuilt it almost from scratch, has resigned.
Barrows led the team from a record of 3-20 in her first year in 2009 to a record of 22-3 last year when the Warriors reached the semifinals of the regional tournament.
Shelby Pfeiffer will take over the reins of the Henry County High School girls' soccer program this year. Pfeiffer replaces Brandie Stivers, who led the team to their first district title last year.
Pfeiffer played for the Spencer County High School soccer and basketball teams for four years. She went on to be a four-year starter at Campbellsville University before graduating with a degree in education.
Alex Hadden and Isaac Klempner finished the Mussleman-Dunne Junior Golf Tour in the Tour Championship at Big Springs Country Club in Louisville with a first and third place finish respectively, July 14 and 15.
Hadden shot a 40 on the first day to trail Daniel Love by two strokes while Klempner shot 41.
Hadden came back with a 38 on the second while Davis had a 42. Hadden's two-day total of 78 was good for a two-stroke victory over Love. Klempner shot 43 on the second day to finish tied for third with Hudson Hummel.
Former Henry County High School football player Erick Butler has been named to the 26th USA College Football Division III Preseason All-America first team.
Butler will be a junior defensive lineman for the Thomas More Saints this fall.
Last year Butler was named to the Presidents' Athletic Conference All-Conference first team as he led the Saints in sacks and tackles for loss and was third on the team in total tackles.
Several EHS and HCHS fall sports teams began practices last week. the players got a lucky break with milder than normal temperatures for the first few days. Coaches for most of the teams focused on basic drills and conditioning while some teams went over some of their basic offensive and defensive schemes.
Many people in Henry County travel around the state and beyond for outdoor recreational opportunities without realizing that those same opportunities are available within 10 to 15 minutes of their home.
The Lake Jericho Recreational Camping Area sits just .7 miles southeast of the I-71 exit in Pendleton on KY 153 and offers camping, fishing, hiking and horse trails, picnic areas with grills and two shelters with bathrooms.
The Kentucky State Water Ski Championship took place on Saturday and Sunday at Stillwater Lake (formerly the Eminence city reservoir) just outside of Eminence.
The Water Ski championships consisted of competition in three events: slalom, tricks and jumping.
On Friday a Junior Development Clinic was held to kick off the weekend. Members of the Kentucky Water Ski Federation helped kids as young as nine years old to sharpen their skills in the different disciplines.

The San Diego St. Aztecs almost dropped a second straight upset loss to a Mountain West team, but they held strong at the end of the game to defeat the Boise St. Broncos on Wednesday night, 58-56. The Aztecs lost to the Colorado St. Rams, 77-60, on Saturday.
The Aztecs struggled from the field all night long, shooting just 31.3 percent. What saved the team was its ability to get to the free throw line, making 25-of-29 shots, while limiting Boise State's trips to the area. The Broncos made 7-of-16 shots.
Jamaal Franklin scored 16 points on 3-of-9 shooting, but he made 9-of-19 free throws. He did pull down eight rebounds, but he also committed a game-high six turnovers. Chase Tapley put in 14 points.
Boise state had led at halftime, 33-25, but midway through the second half the Aztecs were able to retake the lead and keep the game mostly in its favor. Anthony Drmic and Tre Nichols each scored 17 points.
The Aztecs host the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday before going on the road for a rematch with the UNLV Rebels on Feb. 11.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — MANCHESTER -- With a powerful North Reading squad coming to town, it was clear the Manchester Essex football team would need to be at its best if it hoped to compete.
In a battle of two Hornets squads, though, the host Hornets had nowhere near enough sting when they took Hyland Field last night.
North Reading returned a Manchester Essex fumble for a touchdown on the opening kickoff and never looked back, and by the final whistle, Manchester Essex was left with its worst loss in recent memory.
The 60-7 shellacking leaves Manchester Essex at 0-2 in Tier 4 of the NEC/CAL, and, more importantly, searching for answers to just what happened last night.
"There's not much to say," Manchester Essex coach Mike Athanas said. "It's pretty self-explanatory. We give a game away and we don't play. They're going to take advantage of it and they did."
North Reading put up points in just about every possible way, piling up 60 points despite running just 29 offensive plays and never throwing the ball.
Running back Carl Lipani ran for 186 yards and four touchdowns, also taking an interception 45 yards to paydirt. Evan Wade weaved through the Manchester Essex punt coverage for a Reggie Bush-like 70-yard punt return for a touchdown late in the first half. The Manchester Essex fumble gave North Reading a touchdown on its own kickoff to open the game. A botched snap on a punt gave North Reading just 18 yards to go for one of its first-half touchdowns.
Three of North Reading's nine touchdowns came on returns. Four came on the first play of a possession.
According to Athanas it was the most lopsided affair he has seen during his time at Manchester Essex.
The Hornets (1-7, 0-2 NEC/CAL Tier 4) were unable to find a rhythm in any facet of the game. Their special teams struggled. Their offense managed just 131 yards on the day and a mere 18 total yards in the first half.
And while the Manchester Essex defense held its own early on against North Reading's vaunted ground game, forcing turnovers on downs on two of North Reading's first four possessions, it ultimately ran out of steam.
The visiting Hornets scored the final six times they touched the ball, and ran just nine offensive plays in a second half where they tallied 33 points.
"We give them six points on the first play of the game, then we snap it over our heads and give them a short field," Athanas said. "There's 14 points we gave them in the first half. That's tough to come back from."
The end of the game brought with it some controversy, as North Reading opted to keep many of its starters in the game despite its 33-point lead late in the third quarter.
Lipani ran for a 69-yard touchdown on the first play of a late-third quarter drive, his fifth touchdown of the day, and was subsequently taken out.
"He's good," Athanas said. "It's what we expected of him. We've seen him for two years, and he's a good player. He runs hard and had a great game."
The next possession, Lipani's partner in the backfield, Charles MacCarthy, broke through for a 37-yard score on the first play of a drive to put North Reading up, 53-7.
"I know Lupini and McCarthy scored the 47th and 53rd points," Athanas said, "so take that for what it's worth."
When the starters did come out, though, it made little difference, as backup running back Scott McDonough barrelled for a 35-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring.
Aside from two late-game kneel-downs, North Reading (6-1, 2-0 NEC/CAL Tier 4) scored on each of its final four offensive plays of the game to move into first place in the division pending the result of today's game between Hamilton-Wenham and Lynnfield.
The lone bright spot on the day for Manchester Essex was when quarterback Cory Burnham, who had been pressured by North Reading's front 7 all game, lofted a beautiful 38-yard touchdown pass to fellow co-captain John Beardsley midway through the third quarter.
At that point, though, the game was over, and a season that's been ugly from the start for Manchester Essex had gotten even worse.
"We'll take a look at it," Athanas said, "and see what we've got to do. We've got to figure something out."

Great camera if you do not want an SLR.

Pros: Excellent picture quality, manual zoom, bright screen, excellent low or existing light capability, all in one telephoto lens, image capture, different film types can be used (Astia, B&W, sepia,etc.), easy to use controls and menus, fast auto focus.
Cons: Optical viewfinder a bit dark. Manual focus not that easy to use. Not much else bad about the camera.

Summary: A great camera for the person moving up from a pocket camera to a more advanced digital camera, but does not want to carry around a lot of lenses. The lens on this camera is more than most consumer buyers will ever need. I have taken pictures in bright beaches, well lit and dark interiors (without the flash)and various other landscapes, horse races and even portraiture with hardly any problems. The learning curve on this is easy and with a little experimentation, you will be able to capture incredible images. The camera used in the "EXR" position makes photo taking a snap (no pun intended). For the price, I can't see how you can beat this camera. It is well made and the media instructional will tell you everything you have to know. Highly recommmended.

Bottom fishing in the Gulf proved a good test. As we dropped lines to some wrecks, the 266 drifted exactly beam-to the wind with only minor rolling motion. Moving around couldn't be easier with the wide-open deck space. Padded cockpit coamings hit this tall reviewer right above the knees.
One thing you'll never run short of on the 266 is storage space. In addition to the large fish box and bait well in the transom, midship in-deck boxes big enough to sleep in offer secure, lockable space including racks to stow rods and reels. An added fishing detail - a molded toe lip - will keep your center of gravity in the boat while you lean over to wire a fish.
Straight from the factory, our boat could store 27 rods: four on each side under gunwales, two in-gunwale rod holders on each side, four in the leaning post, five in the hardtop and another six in the in-deck locker.
Like all cats, the 266 still suffers a blunt, squared-off bow when viewed from above. However, the profile advances the aesthetics effort significantly. World Class has given the 266 the distinct sheer of a classic offshore center-console.
Significant changes have been made in the most basic areas of the old Sea Cat to get to the level of the 266. World Class trued (and patented) the hull, added a foot more in length, created a less vertical angle on the entry and added a half-inch to the width of each hull. In addition, the tunnel has more roundness in it and has been heightened by 1 1/2 inches. All these refinements have made the 266 a dramatically better boat.
You won't find a molecule of wood anywhere aboard. The 266 features a solid glass bottom; Corecell-cored topsides, bulkheads and stringers; biaxial, triaxial and stitched fiberglass laminated with expensive vinylester resins as well as a special Hydrex resin; and Magnashield skin-coat that does an incredible job of preventing osmotic blistering.
All the hatches have been reengineered with gasketing and tolerances so close they'll never make a sound while under way or when you drop them closed.
WCC uses a special metal treatment process that removes all the iron content from the steel, guaranteeing for life against rusting, puddling or discoloration.

what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
I like our rivalry with the pack but I think everyone can agree that the ohio state-Michigan rivalry is the biggest in sports, unless u live in alabama. lol :lol:
Re: what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
Ohio St. vs. Michigan?? No way.
Two biggest rivalries in sports are-
1. Red Sox vs. Yankees
2. Duke vs. UNC
Re: what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
if u are a fan of the big ten u will agree
Re: what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
Not the biggest but the best is Kansas/Missouri. The history is incredible when you look at pre-civil war violence, ie-misery ruffians going into kansas and raping the sheep and slaughtering the women, Kansas responds with bloodshed and wins the war. Its the second longest consecutive running football rivalry (behind the U and Wisky) and KU only leads by 2 games. The misery fans have thrown beer bottles at our band. My buddy beat up their mascot. I have another friend who fired soomeone soon after misery beat ku. I can go on and on for days. It is pure hate and with the exception of our superior basketball program, its evenly matched in every sport. Forgot to mention a bench clearing brawl a few weeks ago at the Big 12 baseball tourny.

4. Harvard-Yale
5. Texas-Oklahoma
The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry has been big in the past few years, but if you look back over the past 30 years, the Red Sox weren't holding up their part of that bargain until recently.
Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!

Re: what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
I definitely agree on the Red Sox vs Yankees. In the NFL I would go with the Redskins vs Cowboys.
Re: what is the greatest rivalry in sports?
someone finaly gets the point. In basketball it is Duke -Unc. I can agree cause I'm a Duke fan. But in football it's OSU-Michigan because the big ten is the best football conference. :grin:

ESPN's 10 Greatest Rivalries
10. Giants vs. Dodgers
A rivalry spawned in New York transferred to the West Coast in 1958. It reached its most famous moment in 1951, when Bobby Thomson's home run beat the Dodgers to win the pennant. When the clubs fought for National League pennants in the '60s, they were also constantly fighting on the field, including the infamous episode when Juan Marichal attacked Johnny Roseboro with a bat. Giants fans loved it when Joe Morgan's homer knocked the Dodgers out on the final day in 1982; Dodgers fans loved it when their team knocked out the Giants in 1993.
9. Redskins vs. Cowboys
The intense loyalty of these teams' fans helped this rivalry hit a peak in the '70s and early '80s. Redskins fans hated Tom Landry, the shotgun offense and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Cowboys fans hated George Allen, Joe Theismann and that ridiculous logo. When they played on Thanksgiving, there were more than a few turkey legs thrown at the TV in disgust.
8. Auburn vs. Alabama
The "Iron Bowl" is the quintessential intrastate football rivalry. In fact, the series was discontinued from 1908 to 1948 because of a long-standing dispute over a referee and per diem pay for players. When the schools finally agreed to play again, the game had to be held in Birmingham, a neutral site with tickets split equally. Auburn finally hosted Alabama for the first time in 1989 and set a stadium attendance record. The most famous meeting came in 1972. Both teams entered with one loss. 'Bama led 16-0 entering the fourth quarter, but Auburn returned two blocked punts for touchdowns and won 17-16. "Punt, 'Bama, Punt," became a famous slogan.
7. Red Sox vs. Yankees
Some say this is merely a media creation, and it's somewhat true, since the two teams have rarely battled head-to-head for the pennant. But, remember this: the Red Sox were the American League's dominant franchise until selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. Red Sox fans have yet to fully recover. The rivalry has seen the DiMaggio vs. Williams debate, Bucky F****** Dent's home run and Roger Clemens' return to Fenway.
6. Arnold Palmer vs. Jack Nicklaus
Palmer was the fan favorite, the chain-smoking golfer built like a linebacker. Nicklaus was chubby but more talented, the young kid knocking the champ off his pedestal. The rivalry was respectful, with Nicklaus envying Palmer's popularity and Palmer envying Nicklaus' skill. As televised golf became popular in the early '60s, it was this matchup that brought golf to the masses.
5. Maple Leafs vs. Canadiens
When the NHL consisted of six teams, that meant everybody played each other all the time. And no game was as intense as this one. It pitted French Canada vs. English Canada, making it a symbol of hockey's and Canada's history. They've met five times in the Stanley Cup Finals, with Montreal winning in 1959 and '60 and Toronto winning in '45, '51 and '67. Last year, Toronto was moved back into the Eastern Conference to rebuild the rivalry. Visiting fans often drown out the locals in each arena, so you never can tell who's the home team, and even when either team is terrible, players get revved up for regular-season games.
4. Wilt Chamberlain vs. Bill Russell
There were only nine NBA teams for most of the 1960s, meaning Chamberlain and Russell squared off nine to 12 times per season. And since defenses weren't as sophisticated as now, when these two battled it was often without weakside help or double-teaming. Of course, Russell's Celtics always won, which helped build Russell's reputation and depicted Chamberlain as a selfish player who didn't make his teammates better. For example, in 1961-62, Wilt averaged 50.4 points per game, but the Celtics beat the Philadelphia Warriors eight of 12 games. The next season, Wilt averaged 44.8 points per game, but the Celtics beat Chamberlain's San Francisco Warriors eight out of nine. Who was more valuable? It's what made this a classic rivalry.
3. North Carolina vs. Duke
Dean Smith. Coach K. Jordan. Hill. Tobacco Road. Cameron Crazies. The fans are passionate, the teams successful, the games almost always down to the buzzer. Two of the four winningest teams in history, going at it twice a year (and once more in the ACC tournament if we're lucky). This is what college hoops is all about.
2. Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier
They fought three times with two of the brawls considered among the greatest fights in history. Many say their first fight at Madison Square Garden in 1971 is the most signficant boxing match in history. When they met for the third time in 1975 -- "The Thrilla in Manila" -- Ali verbally assaulted Frazier to such a degree in the months leading up to the fight that Frazier remains psychologically damaged to this day.
1. Michigan vs. Ohio State
When Ohio Stadium opened in 1922, Michigan spoiled the party with a 22-0 victory. The rivalry was heated in the early days as both have been long-time college football powers. But it got even hotter in 1969, when Bo Schembechler took over as Michigan's coach and upset Woody Hayes' No. 1-ranked, undefeated Buckeyes. Four times in the next six years, both teams were ranked in the top five when they met. In 1970 and 1973, both were undefeated (they tied 10-10 in '73). From 1970 through 1975, Michigan entered without a loss every year. The Wolverines won just once. Ohio State was 9-0-1 in 1993, 11-0 in 1995 and 10-0 in 1996. The Buckeyes lost each time. That is rivalry.Zeus wrote:

If you only count what is known as Division I-A football, yes, that is correct. However, if you count ALL of college football rivalries, that one is 10th.
1. Lafayette-Lehigh - 140 games - first game 1884
2. Princeton-Yale - 127 games - first game 1873
3. (tie) Harvard-Yale - 119 games - first game 1875
3. (tie) Amherst-Williams - 119 games - first game 1881
5. Albion-Kalamazoo - 118 games - first game 1896
6. (tie) Bowdoin-Colby - 116 games - first game 1892
6. (tie) Monmouth(Ill)-Knox - 116 games - first game 1888
8. (tie) Richmond-William & Mary - 114 games - first game 1898
8. (tie) Coe-Cornell(IA) - 114 games - first game 1891
9. Wisconsin-Minnesota - 114 games - first game 1890
10. Kansas-Missouri - 113 games - first game 1891
Your rivalry is personally the most intense because you've got ties to it. As a graduate of Amherst, I view the Amherst-Williams rivalry as my most intense - and, quite frankly, I hate everyone who ever attended that school (which includes, BTW, George Steinbrenner).
That said, I still have to go with Michigan-Ohio State, due to the long-time intensity and the stakes of those games. How often has Mizzou-Kansas had any impact on the national champion?

What is CGI?
Hey Everyone,
I've heard the term 'CGI' tossed around everynow and again, and im curious to what it actually is, i tried googling it and all i got was that it stood for Common Gateway Interface and that it is a "method for web server software to delegate the generation of web pages to executable files" - Wikipedia Article on CGI.
So i'm still pretty much clue less to what exactly it is, anyway if anyone knows please post back with a general description of what it is and what it does.
Maxdream01PHP is FUN
May 19, 2012, 20:13 #2
It is PHP. There you go, simple and non-technical.
CGI itself is just one standard method for a web server (Apache for example) to call and run PHP. CGI is not a language itself.

CGI was one of the first technologies where web servers could run server-side programs, it stands for "Common Gateway Interface" and was developed in the very early days of the WWW.
Basically, cgi defines a directory on the web server where the web server is allowed to run executables. The executables can be written in many different languages like perl, c, and others. usually the defined directory shows up as the /cgi directory in your web space, but the name is configurable.
Newer technologies like PHP, ASP, NET, JSP and such have become more popular than CGI for dynamic websites.Doug G

I guess a lot of people forget that PHP can be setup with Apache as CGI...or as is the case most use FastCGI today. CGI is not bound to any language, it is just the interface for a web server to communicate with a server-side technology like PHP. It can be setup in so many different ways, but it is still CGI.

Ok thanks everyone, i think that gives me a good idea of what cgi is and what it does. Thanks.PHP is FUN

Waterbury-Oxford Airport will receive $8.2 million to acquire land and homes near the airport, bringing the total amount for the project to more than $13 million.
A news release from Sens. Joseph I. Lieberman and Richard Blumenthal states that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will give the money to provide for relocation of residents who have been impacted by noise disturbance from the airport. Most of the residents affected live in Middlebury and they are the ones who will be relocated.
"We applaud FAA's strong commitment to the Middlebury residents who live next to Waterbury-Oxford Airport – the noise pollution that these homeowners have been subjected to for the last several years poses severe health and safety concerns," stated Lieberman and Blumenthal in a joint prepared statement. "We are glad these homeowners will finally receive the restitution that they deserve – fair compensation for their homes – and that a process that has taken far too long for these residents is one step closer to being over."
State officials and others have studied noise complaints at the airport for several years. A study completed last year indicates that residents have reason for concern because the area is considered a "noise impact area," per federal standards, according to a website formed in partnership with the state Department of Transportation titled www.oxcstudies.com that has information about the noise issues at the airport. The informational website states the noise study indicated the following recommendations could be implemented:
- Voluntary acquisition of homes in the Triangle Hills neighborhood located within the airport's Runway Protection Zone, or RPZ.
- Voluntary acquisition or sound insulation of homes in the Triangle Hills neighborhood that are not within the RPZ.
- Directing more aircraft activity to depart to the south when conditions permit, in order to reduce takeoffs over the populated areas of Middlebury.
- Conduct other operational modifications that may reduce noise levels adjacent to the Airport and result in more consistent flight patterns.
- Recommendations for local zoning and subdivision regulations that would reduce the future potential for airport noise impacts. These land use measures can only be implemented by the Towns.

The federal government has settled a civil suit with a Nevada rancher over grazing violations.
A stipulation announced Wednesday by Justice Department lawyers in Washington, D.C., ends the government's case against Goldfield rancher Ben Colvin.
In 2007, the government sued Colvin, the estate of late Nevada rancher Wayne Hage and Hage's son, claiming they repeatedly defied federal land managers by grazing cattle without permits on land overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.
Government lawyers say Colvin paid a $34,000 fine and agreed to comply with federal grazing regulations in the future.
The settlement pertained to Colvin only, and the government's suit against the Hage's is still active.

DALLAS — Dozens of people took time out of their day Sunday to push their bodies to the limit for a good cause in Dallas.
"We're riding six hours for ovarian cancer," said Jack Baum, who signed up to ride for the Wheel To Survive benefit.
"My friend Julie Shrell had ovarian cancer and beat it. And the earlier we detect it, the better chance there are for people to beat it," he said.
It was six hours of leg-pumping and pedal-pushing. In all, it added up to about 120 miles of cycling, buckets of sweat, and as much as $300,000 raised for ovarian cancer research in just one day.
"We're just so proud of everyone who's been here and all the support that we've had." Shrell said.
Shrell co-founded the Be The Difference Foundation along with three other women who are ovarian cancer survivors. The foundation sponsors Wheel To Survive.
During the indoor ride, there were six spin-type classes with about 200 people in each class. Each person donated at least $250 to take part.
All of the money goes to ovarian cancer research.
"Twenty-two-thousand women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year alone," Shrell said. "Fifteen-thousand will die of the disease. And 70 percent of those diagnosed will die within five years."
Symptoms of the disease are vague, and she said ovarian cancer just doesn't get enough attention in the media.
"Even though its not a sexy disease, it's a very lethal disease for women," Shrell said.

CATEGORIES Features, CinematicalNo matter how many cuckoo recordings of Christian Bale flipping out we might hear, there's no denying he's one foxy fellow. He's in top physical form in 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight,' due, no doubt, to a strict exercise and diet regimen. And even in movies where he's not a superhero, like the Western '3:10 to Yuma' or the period piece 'The Prestige,' he's still a buff, handsome dude. He's even a cute kid in 'Empire of the Sun' and a damn fine dancer in 'Swing Kids.'
In other movies, however, he's practically unrecognizable, whether it's because he's subsisting on a supermodel diet, tanned and toned beyond belief, or playing a journalist trapped in a 'Velvet Goldmine.'
In honor of the brand new trailer for 'The Fighter,' let's check out some of Bale's most bizarre looks. Because if it's good enough for every woman who walks the red carpet, it's good enough for Batman, dammit.
1. 'The Fighter'
As Dickie Eklund, the half-brother of boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg), he's practically unrecognizable as a wiry, drugged-out loose cannon with slicked back hair, a bald spot, and bad teeth. Knowing Bale's commitment to the craft, he probably skipped the makeup artist and just got his head waxed in a reverse tonsure.
2. 'The Machinist'
This is probably Bale's most disturbing transformation. It was reported that he lost 63 pounds for the movie, whittling down his normal weight of about 185 pounds to that of a teenage girl (although not quite a catwalk model). Bale looks beyond sickly; he looks like he's knocking on death's door. Trying to gain the weight back in time to convince producers he was able to fight crime as the Caped Crusader was no picnic either; although he literally made himself sick, he said, "In doing so I overdid it because I was enjoying gorging... I got very sick during that time but I enjoyed getting sick. I didn't mind it at all." Well, then.
3. 'Rescue Dawn'
In Werner Herzog's remake of his own doc 'Little Dieter Needs to Fly,' Bale plays Dieter Dengler, a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. Naturally, he and the rest of the cast who played POWs lost quite a bit of weight as well. Since they lose weight over time, Herzog actually filmed the scenes in reverse. In one interview, Herzog explained, "It takes you five or six months to lose weight but you gain it back in two or four weeks. We could have done it the other way around, but then we would have needed five or six months of shooting, and we only had 44 days. And while you are working, he would have to keep starving, starving, starving, until at the end he was very thin." I guess those maggots weren't all that filling, after all.
4. 'American Psycho'
While Bale looks tanned and cut as Wall Street maniac Patrick Bateman, he definitely looked pretty sick wearing a plastic rain slicker covered in blood and wielding a chainsaw. Nail guns, fire, axes, feeding an ATM a cat. It's all in a day's work for Bateman. He's not ugly on the outside, but man, he is one gnarly mofo on the inside. And isn't that where it counts?
5. 'Velvet Goldmine'
Let's be frank. It's hard to find too many photos of Bale looking anything but hot. He might look "freaky" in 'Velvet Goldmine,' but I think he looks fabulous wrapped in a blue boa snuggled up to director Todd Haynes. Your mileage may vary, but I'll take Bale in blue eye shadow and glitter over a guy who could fit in my jeans twice over any day.
[Edit: Todd Haynes was incorrectly identified as Eddie Izzard.]

Panel OKs Sandy bills
The Senate State Government Committee signed off Thursday on two bills that would establish integrity monitors and a transparency website, which residents can use to track spending on superstorm Sandy recovery efforts.
The bills head to the full Senate as New Jersey prepares to receive an initial $1.8 billion in federal aid to create a grant program to help homeowners and businesses rebuild and elevate their properties out of flood zones.
Questions have already been raised about some of the first contracts awarded after the Oct. 29 storm, including a debris-removal contract Governor Christie's administration gave to Florida-based AshBritt outside of the normal competitive bidding process. Christie has said he piggybacked off a Connecticut contract in order to give municipalities an immediate option to help clean up after Sandy.
The legislation comes after Christie announced earlier this month that state Comptroller Matthew Boxer would review all Sandy-related contracts. Christie also signed an executive order establishing "accountability officers" who would work with Boxer and the various state departments receiving aid, as well as a tracking website. Lawmakers say their bills go further than Christie's executive order, which does not have the force of state law.
* Lobbyists: The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee unanimously released a bill that would extend the state law on lobbyist disclosure to include municipal government and school districts.
That bill is in response to reports that AshBritt has hired lobbyists and political consultants to help the company secure contracts with local governments for debris removal.
New Jersey requires lobbyists to disclose work at the state level, but does not include local government. The bill would also limit gifts to no more than $250 annually from lobbyists to local elected officials, their employees and immediate family members. And it would restrict the ability of local officials and top municipal and school officials from registering as lobbyists in the municipality, district or agency for which they work. The bill heads to the full Senate for a vote.
* Child sex abuse: The Assembly unanimously approved a bill that would impose a mandatory 25-years-to-life sentence for those convicted of sexually abusing children under the age of 13. The bill is modeled after Florida's "Jessica Lunsford Act," named after a 9-year-old girl who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a registered sex offender in 2005. The measure awaits consideration in the Senate.
* Farmers' tax breaks: In a 70-4 vote, the Assembly approved a bill that would make it harder for landowners to qualify for a farmland assessment, which reduces the amount of property taxes they have to pay. The bill would increase from $500 to $1,000 the amount of income a property owner must make off his or her land in order to qualify for reduced taxes. The bill also provides for a review of the sales threshold every three years. The bill heads to the Senate, which adopted the measure last year, for a vote.
* Driver distractions: The Senate Law and Public Safety Committee released a bill that would create the "Task Force on Driver Distractions" within the Department of Transportation to develop recommendations for improving safety, including a public awareness campaign. The state has already increased the penalties and fines associated with motorists who text or use a cellphone while driving. The measure heads to the full Senate for consideration.
