Re: Age of Conan Feedback thread
I'm still kind of on the fence with this one. I'm getting kind of bored with questing past level 6, and I'm not really digging the combat system as melee. I do have a necro at level 7 or so, and it seems a bit better. The graphics are amazing and I run a steady 40fps with everything maxed even with debugger and all that other crap running.
I have it preordered, and it is different than WOW which is a good thing, but man I'm really considering dropping the preorder, and just picking up GTA4 for my PS3 instead.

Holee-crap. You are joggin' some old memories. My time spent in '72 was on my brand new Trail 70 in the Cypress fields on the corner of Ball & Denni. That is where I grew up, right across the street. "Somehow" the fence around the fields kept springing holes, and we'd ride right in. Cops where no real issues back then, just a stern warning and off we would go.
If we are talking about the same area, around Studebaker & 2nd St, there are a few tanks remaining, but most have been torn down. I just drove by there less than a hour ago. There has been a rumor for quite awhile that some of this area would be turned into a Home Depot shopping area, or the like.
What's your story? You must have grown up in the area, eh?
Great memory jog, thanks. I gotta start tearing into some old boxes looking for pics from back then, and get them scanned in.

"What that means is, three days later, you've got an additional half a person infected. In three days, each of those new people have infected an additional half person, and it's like compound interest. It's the same calculation that lets you grow $1,000 into a $1 million 20 years later."
But health officials stress that the H1N1 swine flu produces relatively mild infections, much like the annual seasonal flu, and patients recover quickly. And some people, mostly older ones, seem to have some immunity to the virus.
However, doctors around the world are reporting a very severe form of the disease in young and otherwise healthy people. "In these patients, the virus directly infects the lung, causing severe respiratory failure," the WHO said. So, countries should anticipate a growing demand for treatment in intensive care units as they prepare for a second wave of the pandemic, the agency said, the Associated Press reported.
Dr. Peter Gross, chief medical officer at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, sees no reason for mass panic. "They've proven that the transmissibility is comparable to the seasonal flu and less than the horrendous 1918 pandemic," he said. Also key, he said, is that "the mortality is no worse than the seasonal flu and, if anything, might be slightly less."
Still, he and others agree that the potential for infection is significant.
"If each person were infecting less than one person, it would eventually die out on its own. If it was two people, the outbreak would cascade. If it was 10, it would be an explosive epidemic," said Dr. Dean Blumberg, associate professor of pediatric infectious diseases at University of California, Davis Children's Hospital. "The number they've come up with here is similar to what others have found, in the range of 1.3 to 1.4. The seasonal

Rating: pg-13 - Violence, Sexual Situations, Questionable for Children, Adult Language, Adult Situations
Patience Philips (Halle Berry) seems destined to spend her life apologizing for taking up space. Despite her artistic ability -- she has a more than respectable career as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a Goliath cosmetics company -- Patience is excruciatingly shy, quick to take blame, and, not surprisingly, more than a little depressed at the end of the day. This comes to somewhat of a screeching halt when Patience not only inadvertently lands herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy of gargantuan proportions, but on the city police force's most wanted list. Newly quipped with a mysterious feline prowess, Patience is a different person come nighttime -- more accurately, a catwoman. Elusive, untamed, powerful, stealthy, and not necessarily prone to erring on the side of good, Patience has gone from doormat to vigilante. Police officer Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who has fallen for shy Patience, is determined to apprehend Catwoman and figure out her role in a recent crime spree, though his fascination with her doesn't cease with the end of his shift and it threatens to lead to the downfall of himself, his investigation, and the woman who was once the timid Patience Philips. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Say Ya to Da U.P, Eh?
A common expression you will hear in the U.P. Copper Country is "eh?" which follows many questions and statements. This expression is similar to asking for agreement. ---- The U.P. would be a great place to visit, eh? Say ya to the U.P., eh?
The pasty is a traditional food here. Brought to the Copper Country by Cornish miners, this combination; generally of meat, potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas or turnips wrapped in a pastry shell was taken down into the mines where they made a hearty, warm meal. Although I do not know the traditional manner of eating these, the most common ways I have heard are with a little mustard, ketchup, or butter.
Nisu, a traditional slightly sweet Finnish bread with a hint of cardamom in it may be purchased plain, or with a light glaze or sugar topping. I like it for breakfast with butter or margarine. Purchase it at a bakery, as I have not found any really good Nisu in any of the grocery stores.
We usually purchase both our pasties and Nisu from Roy's Bakery. This bakery also has a few small tables, so you may eat right on the premise, or if purchasing pasties you may purchase them warm and take them to your motel or campground. You can also enjoy a few varieties of sandwiches and soups, or purchase a number of other bakery products at Roy's. You will find reasonable prices with sandwiches running in the $3.75 to $4.50 range. Pasties come in sizes small with 8oz. of filling and large with 12 oz. of filling. They also make a vegetarian pasty for those of you who do not eat meat. Roy's Pasties & Bakery is located at 901 West Sharon Avenue. Their phone number is (906) 487-6166

Strawberry Festival
The nearby community of Chassell has celebrated their annual Strawberry Festival for over 55 years. Usually held the second weekend of July this two-day event, which runs Friday and Saturday, includes a variety of activities. Generally Friday includes the traditional strawberry shortcake, as well as the sales of such foods as brats, hot dogs, ice cream, and roasted corn. In the evening the traditional fish boil is held. Strawberries are judged, a children's parade is held in the evening, the strawberry queen is crowned, and a dance is held to bring Friday's activities to a close. On Saturday the day begins with a French Toast Breakfast, and again the traditional strawberry shortcake and other foods. Saturday also usually brings barbecue chicken at noon. A parade is usually held around 11:00. This is a small town parade, so expect lots of bands, cars, fire trucks, as well as a few floats. Candy is thrown from cars and floats to the children lining the streets to see the parade. Other activities that may be held are gardening, musical entertainment, fashion show, children's games, a quilt raffle, and an open house at the Chassell Heritage Center. Both Friday and Saturday you will find an arts and craft show in the parking lot near the Chassell beach. It is a tradition for us to go the Strawberry Festival each year for a breakfast of strawberry shortcake. Ymmmmm!

Companies including Walgreen Co. asked a U.S. House Committee on Monday to crack down on organized retail crime, but online retailers such as eBay Inc. said some of the measures proposed would unfairly hurt their business.
Unlike shoplifting, thieves in organized retail crime steal larger quantities of goods _ from baby formula to over-the-counter drugs _ to resell as part of larger crime rings. The FBI estimates organized retail theft costs retailers over $30 billion each year.
The hearing by the House Committee on the Judiciary was held to consider issues related to organized retail crime, such as the shift from items being resold at flea markets and pawn shops to them being auctioned the Internet.
Two bills in the House and one in the Senate that would address various thresholds and penalties for organized crime are under consideration.
Traditional retailers say the current laws aren't adequate to effectively track and prosecute large-scale cases. Walgreen said some criminals get a "slap on the wrist" due to lagging investigative resources and an unwillingness by authorities to take complicated cases. But online retailers, such as eBay, said they would be unfairly targeted in the proposed legislation and say they already work diligently to help track down criminals.
Mob Archive of Current and Historical Mafia, Organized Crime & Gangster News. Primary focus on Chicago, but will include some national, especially New York, as well as global reports, along with the evolution of organized crime throughout society today. Topics will also include impact on pop culture through book reviews, movies, games and general interest.

Gift of the Helen Larson Estate
This late eighteenth century corselet is a bit of a puzzle. Structurally, it's akin to a corset, complete with boning throughout. Despite its similarity to a corset, the surface embellishment, including small metal disks, metallic galoon lace and two vertical rows of ornate metal hooks, certainly doesn't lend itself to being worn as an undergarment. Given its dimensional surface embellishment, this corselet was definitely worn over another garment. But in what context? Was it fashionable dress, fancy dress or an example of regional dress? Given that underwear as outerwear wasn't a part of late eighteenth century or early nineteenth century fashionable dress, it is either an example of regional dress or part of a fancy dress costume.

Big apologies to anyone who wasn't able to download a ROM over the weekend.
My hosting company had a very strange way of dealing with me as a customer which was to suspend my hosting account, but not tell me why. The reason that they gave was that a script or scripts were causing a memory load issue and that I should optimise my scripts. They also claimed that they were unable to tell me which script was causing the issue as their servers weren't set up that way (they're set up wrong then in my opinion). Unfortunately in disabling my account, they also disabled my FTP access so I had no way to get to my files to optimise them. It took them over 48 hours to enable my FTP account despite me sending requests to them every few hours. I have finally managed to get my sites from their server.
I found the issue within 20 minutes but I don't want to host anything with a bunch of ass-hats who think it's OK to treat a customer like that.
raceroms.co.uk is now hosted on a nice new server from a hosting company with a much better reputation. I also have full root access so I am more in control of the site and will be able to fix any future issues much more quickly.
Apologies again for the downtime

Vero Beach places, then and now
A number of places in Vero Beach have survived over many decades relatively intact while others have been significantly modified. Or, in the case of the Royal Park Inn, they've been razed and replaced with contemporary structures.
The old sites seen these two pages have been photographed at very close to the same angle at which the original photos were taken. Most of the old photos were gleaned from the Press Journal files with the exception of a postcard of the Hall of Giants, courtesy of the McKee Botanical Gardens. The photo of the Vero train depot appeared in "A History of Indian River County" by Sidney P. Johnson.

Anna Hyatt Huntington, acclaimed as one of the most successful female sculptor in American history, is renowned for her portrayal of animals. Her work, on large and small scale, can be found in the collections of over 250 museums, parks and public gardens worldwide. Conceived in 1955 and executed in 1962, Torch Bearer is one of only five known casts, and is the most important of Huntington's works to ever come to auction.
The daughter of Alpheus Hyatt, an eminent paleontologist and Harvard University professor, Huntington had the opportunity growing up to familiarize herself with all varieties of savage and domestic animals. Her sympathy for animals and understanding of their anatomy was fostered, first, by study with Henry Kitson in Boston, and then as a pupil at the Art Students League of New York City where she received instruction from Hermon Atkins MacNeil and criticism from Gutzon Borglum, a noted animal sculptor of the day. She rounded out her artistic education by modeling domestic animals on a farm at Porto Bello, Maryland, and the wild animals at the New York Zoological Park. "Animals," she said, "have many moods and to represent them is a joy."1 Huntington's ability to capture the essence of living creatures soon translated into small bronzes and commissions.
By 1907 Huntington was working steadily in France and Italy, and in 1910 she had already made the model for Joan of Arc, her earliest notable monument and the first heroic equestrian statue of a woman. The work, which depicts a slender, armor-clad Joan of Arc astride a spirited steed and holding her sword of destiny aloft, won an honorable mention at the Paris Salon of 1910. Historian Charlotte Streifer Rubinstein notes: "Recognized as one of the finest equestrian statues by an American, Joan of Arc compares favorably with versions by the Frenchmen Fremiet and DuBois...[and is] a landmark in the history of women sculptors."2
Huntington's series of famed equestrian statues continued with Cid Campeador, 1927, in Seville, Spain and of the Hispanic Society of America in New York City. Her Don Quixote of 1942 is also part of the permanent collection of Hispanic Society. In each of these works, Huntington demonstrates her rare ability to adapt the character of the horse to that of the individual horseman, while treating both subjects with real feeling for their inherent dignity. Torch Bearers-symbolizing the passing of the torch of civilization and progress from one generation to the next-embodies this same genius for modeling, for direct expression of action, as well as the artist's unparalleled gift of observation.
Huntington originally conceived of Torch Bearers in 1955 to be offered as a unique gift from the artist and her husband, Archer Milton Huntington, to the University of Madrid, in Spain. In October 1961 Earle M. Newton, Director of The Museum of Art, Science and Industry in Bridgeport, Connecticut, wrote to Huntington requesting a suitable monument to be placed in the institution's courtyard. Huntington responded within days that the project interested her, and she suggested Torch Bearers. The artist ultimately offered the work as a gift to the new museum, along with an additional $5,000 toward the cost of the base, in order to ensure a proper setting for her grand masterwork.
The museum board was thrilled with the gift, and they immediately appointed a landscape architect to select and prepare the perfect plot for the monument on the institution's grounds. In a letter to the artist dated March 1, 1962, Newton writes: "[We have] already selected the position and will be laying out the mounting as soon as the frost breaks this spring. I think it's a very lovely spot, with a backing of foliage; I am sure you will like it. And we are so pleased to have this superb piece of art."
Roman Bronze Works was hired to cast the work in bronze, an undertaking which took months to complete. Finally, On August 6, 1963, the museum unveiled a one-woman show of Huntington's work in tandem with the presentation of Torch Bearers to the public. The museum, which was later renamed the Discovery Museum, has been the home to this spectacular sculpture ever since.
The monument was lauded by both the museum and the community when it was unveiled in 1963 and has continued to draw praise until today. Ward Cruickshank II, Curator of Exhibits, writes to Huntington on September 11, 1963: "The 'Torchbearer' is perfectly beautiful in its location at the Museum. Alice Orme Smith and I selected a site where the sculpture would be seen against a stand of young pines and oaks, and beyond that a huge outcropping of ledge. I noticed this morning that there are several large white dogwoods at one side. This should really be a sight next spring! We are happy to have your magnificent work. I think either this fall or next spring we may want to have the sculpture photographed so we may provide our visitors with the color postcards they are already requesting....
"As a matter of special interest to us, and I am sure to you too, our average monthly attendance for past exhibitions has been about 1,500 to 1,700. Attendance at your exhibition for its first month has been just a little over 3,000!"
In addition to the present work, there are only four known examples of Torch Bearer in existence. These other examples, cast in aluminum, are located in Havana, Cuba, the University of Madrid in Spain, the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, and the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia.
Throughout her life, Huntington received numerous commissions for public monuments, earned international praise, and saw her sculptures placed in major museums worldwide. Almost up to her death at the age of 97, Huntington was never without a work in progress, and Torch Bearers remains one of the most successful monuments in the artist's oeuvre. In its grandeur, poignant realism and exceptional rendering, Torch Bearer celebrates why Anna Hyatt Huntington is considered America's greatest animalier.

The province is reducing the number of antlerless deer permits this year by 20 per cent.
Natural Resources Minister Paul Robichaud said the move was necessary because the severity of this past winter resulted in higher losses in the deer heard.
There will be 2,700 permits issued this year compaired to 3,450 last year.
The application period is now open. The cost to apply is $4.52.
On Sunday, officers received a report that a license plate had been stolen off a car that was parked in a driveway. The next day, an officer spotted the plate on a moving vehicle and fined the woman driving $1497 for operating the vehicle with a false/stolen plate and without valid insurance. The vehicle was towed.
Monday at 5:24 p.m., officers found a group of young people on a walking trail in the city. They found that an 11-year-old boy was extremely drunk and took him to the hospital for treatment.
Monday at 6:50 p.m., a 14-year-old boy was arrested for breaching an undertaking after an officer responded to a family dispute.
Tuesday at 11:10 p.m., while conducting a curfew check, an officer learned that a 15-year-old boy was not home. He was later located by James M. Hill School, and held in custody for court for breaching an undertaking.

Rumelihisarý is a fortress located which is situated at the narrowest point with 698 meters of the Bosphorus strait, just opposite of the Anadoluhisarý on the Anatolian side. It was built by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II-The Conqueror to prevent aid from the Black Sea reaching Constantinople during the siege of the city.
Around 1490 BC the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III erected two obelisks before the Karnak temple in Luxor to commemorate the victories of his forces in Mesopotamia. The obelisks were made of rare pink granite. In the 4th century AD, an unknown Roman emperor who wanted to accomplish something impressive that would create excitement among his people had the colossal obelisk brought to Istanbul. For years it was left lying in a corner of the Hippodrome. In 390, during the reign of Theodosius I, it was erected with great difficulty by Proclus, a city administrator. It is the oldest monument in the city and has always been considered magical. The obelisk rests on four bronze blocks on a Roman base decorated with reliefs. These depict the emperor, his children and other prominent personalities watching the races from the imperial box, as well as the spectators, musicians, dancers and chariot races. The obelisk measures 25.60 m including the base.

For the first time, this report shows that by investing an additional 2 percent of the federal budget into existing programs and policies that increase employment, make work pay, and ensure children's basic needs are met, the nation could reduce child poverty by 60 percent and lift 6.6 million children out of poverty.
The United States has the second highest child poverty rate among 35 industrialized countries despite having the largest economy in the world. A child in the United States has a 1 in 5 chance of being poor and the younger she is the poorer she is likely to be. A child of color, who will be in the majority of U.S. children in 2020, is more than twice as likely to be poor as a White child. This is unacceptable and unnecessary. Growing up poor has lifelong negative consequences, decreasing the likelihood of graduating from high school and increasing the likelihood of becoming a poor adult, suffering from poor health, and becoming involved in the criminal justice system. These impacts cost the nation at least half a trillion dollars a year in lost productivity and increased health and crime costs. Letting a fifth of our children grow up poor prevents them from having equal opportunities to succeed in life and robs the nation of their future contributions.
Registration for the 21st annual Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry, "How Long Must I Cry for Help? Bending the Arc Toward God's Vision of Justice for Children," is now open.

Like an 8th grader at the mall, the Houston Texans were a walking fog of that pungent winner's cologne. For most of the last two months, their win-loss record overpowered any serious criticism. It was easy to spray around that old adage about good teams finding a way to win when they don't play well. They were 8-1, 10-1, 12-2. Nothing to smell here. Move along. They got blown out in New England, and that was alarming, but it was Tom Brady, and it was just one of those nights, and the Texans were still on top of the AFC. But then came Sunday, and its stormcloud of stink. Suddenly, after taking a beatdown at home from a Vikings team that supposedly has one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL, the Texans' dirty drawers are out in the open. All of your questions, complaints and concerns are now worth entertaining. Is Gary Kubiak's conservatism a fatal flaw in the team's personality? How good is Matt Schaub, really? Why can't the Texans run the ball anymore? Does the secondary a...

Brought to you by
This maybe the wrong group to post this but I will try anyways....
My mom remarried 7 years ago to her high school sweetheart, they are the same age. They both have kids from previous marriages, i am my moms youngest 21 at the time and her oldest was 27. My step dad's oldest was 29 and he also had a 9 year old daughter. His older kids (3 daughters) live in a different state as do my moms so they only kid they deal with is his youngest she is now 15. Her mother hates he got remarried and is flat out awful to my step dad and mom. Over the years of their marriage my mom has been very concerned for the girl because when she's not with them she had absolutely no adult supervision at home. Her mom is never there and the daughter as made it clear she'd rather be with her dad. My mom has also caught her sending revealing pics of herself online to boys and told her dad and he let the mom know, she did NOTHING about the situation. So this is kinda the backstory. The past 4 months my step dad hasn't seen his daughter, she has been making a ton of excuses, hanging with friends, getting my hair done, shopping, I got a job, blah blah. Fast forward to a couple nights ago she calls him and says I'm in the hospital having a baby!!!! It was a complete shock to him and my mom as of course they didn't know and when she started showing, she stopped coming. I guess I'm writing this because how would you handle this situation? The mother helped hide this from her father and my mother. The only reason I can think of is because they have been battling about her lack of parenting for the past few years. Does my step dad have any right to blow up in his ex wife for hiding it, or should he not say anything to her? How should my mom handle it, or should she stay out of it because it's her step-daughter? My whole family is just in turmoil over this and I guess I'd like advice from strangers because the people you know will try to sugarcoat to avoid hurting your feelings...
Sorry for the typos...
If it were me I would be livid if my ex hid our child's pregnancy from me. And I would probably say something but not in front of the daughter. Now, if I were in your stepdads shoes in would try to repair the relationship with my daughter and show her that he still loves her despite the lie. What a messy situation.
Wow! My first step would be to look at their court order. If it requires the mom to share medical information she was CLEARLY in contempt! If that is the case, your stepdad could file for custody and would have a strong case. However, your mom and sdad really need to look at whether they want to be responsible for raising a newborn before making any moves. What a tough situation for your family.
Your stepdad just lucked out. By becoming having a kids, she just became an emancipated and is no longer responsible for child support.
Let me say that again.....by his daughter becoming a mom, she just became an emancipated minor. Her baby daddy is now responsible for paying child support (and depending on the state, his parents are on the hook to pay until he is an adult who can work....at least that's the law in the state of Maryland).
So not only should he file contempt, he should file to modify child support, as she is no longer a child....
First, your step dad should have realized something was up when he didn't see his daughter for 4 months. I hate being away from my children for 4 nights!
Second, at this point, everyone needs to start working together for the sake of your step sister and the baby. She needs all of them to put every difference aside and figure out how to best support her in some tough decisions she needs to be making.
Since when is it 'lucking out' to no longer have to pay child support?
We don't even know if there is child support being paid in this situation but considering yourself lucky to get out of supporting your child bc she got pregnant is a little off.
I never insinuated not supporting his daughter. BM wanted to make poor parenting choices and leave dad in the dark. Now BM gets to pay the consequences....and foot the bill all by herself for those poor parenting choices. I would consider myself lucky to no longer have to fork over a check to pay for my exs bad choices. If that ain't karma, I don't know what else to call it. You reap what you sow. Now instead of writing a check to his crappy ex, he can give the funds to someone who can really use it now.....His daughter.

.htaccess Reference: Part 2
In case you missed it, you can read the first part of the .htaccess Reference here.
Unprotect a directory inside an otherwise protected structure:
Satisfy any
Extra secure method to force a domain to only use SSL and fix double login problem
If you really want to be sure that your server is only serving documents over an encrypted SSL channel (you wouldn't want visitors to submit an .htaccess password prompt on an unencrypted connection) then you need to use the SSLRequireSSL directive with the +StrictRequire Option turned on.

.Htaccess Reference
.htaccess is a configuration file used on Apache and other nix servers. It is one of the most configurable and powerful tools for website functionality, security, and search engine optimization. Here is a comprehensive reference.
(Hypertext Access) is the default name of Apache's directory-level configuration file. It provides the ability to customize configuration directives defined in the main configuration file. The configuration directives need to be in .htaccess context and the user needs appropriate permissions. Read more on .Htaccess Reference…
URL Rewriting – Search Engine Friendly URL's – Part 2
You probably know by now that dynamic web sites have a challenge in search engine optimization because they often use dynamic url's with information carried from page to page in query strings. (http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?id1=value1&id2=value2&id3=value3)
Through proper use of .htaccess and mod_rewrite, you can turn your ugly dynamic url's into search engine friendly (and user friendly) url's. Read more on URL Rewriting – Search Engine Friendly URL's – Part 2…
Search Engine Friendly URLs and .htaccess / mod_rewrite – Part 1
A common topic in search engine optimization these days is the conflict between search engines and dynamic sites. There is an ongoing battle between "user-friendly" and "search engine friendly". A LOT of the time, search engines don't like sites that users do. (This is ironic, because they are always touting the need for user-friendliness.) It is true that often search engines don't like sites that are well-designed ("Too graphic-heavy!"), that are dynamically coded-such as Amazon.com, Flash, etc. Now, they can learn to like these sites, but it takes extra work on our end, as web designers. It's up to us to go the extra mile.
Right now I'm only going to talk about Search Engine Friendly URL's and dynamic web sites. Most search engines have a hard time with dynamic urls…you can spot them because they end in ".php?id1=value1&id2=value2&id3=value3″ and such.

Of course I game at a much higher res so the difference would probably be more noticeable to me than to you.
Edit: Also that at res even with moderate AA/AF I don't think you would benefit much from the 1GB version.
I have an EVGA 8800 GTS 640MB at stock clocks. I was thinking the upgrade to the GTS 250 would allow me to always play with 4xAA or better where the 8800 GTS sometimes doesn't allow that and get the smoothness I like in gameplay. I'm really sensitive to frame rate so I always keep my settings at a place to maximize frame rate with good visuals too. Of course most everything I play right now is old enough I can keep 4xAA on, but of course a few of them I can't.
Thanks for your input I appreciate it.

YIELD: Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres, serving 2
Cut twelve 1/4-inch-thick rounds from the middle of the potato, discarding the ends, pat them dry with paper towels, and brush them on both sides with the oil. Roast the potato slices on a baking sheet in the upper third of a preheated 500°F. oven for 6 minutes, or until the undersides are golden. Turn the slices, roast them for 6 minutes more, or until the undersides are golden and crisp, and let them cool until they can be handled.
While the potatoes are roasting, in a bowl stir together the cream cheese, the tomatoes, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the filling on half the potato slices, top it with the remaining potato slices, pressing the slices together to form sandwiches, and halve the sandwiches.

University of Memphis coed rallies 'Slutwalk' for crime victims
Crime on college campuses in Tennessee went up 4.2 percent last year with violent crimes up almost 20 percent for a second year in a row.
One of the biggest increases was in forcible sex offenses, which went up 47 percent from 2010 to 2011, while drug and drug equipment violations increased 26 percent during the same time.
The figures were reported by each college campus in the state and compiled and released Wednesday by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation as part of a 202-page report "in an effort to assist law enforcement, institution administrations and government officials in planning their efforts to fight crime and applying crime-prevention strategies."
The figures are part of a backdrop of long-standing complaints accusing colleges and universities of underreporting crimes, especially sex-related offenses, which University of Memphis security director Bruce Harber said are among "the most underreported crimes across the country." The university reported one rape in 2011, and Harber said a rape investigation reported last week in student housing will be reported in next year's statistics.
One U of M student, senior English major Kailie Tippin, is not waiting for statistics to draw attention to the issue of sexual assault. Tippin is planning a rally for victims of sexual assault which she calls "Slutwalk Memphis." It is based on a similar rally organized in Toronto, Canada, after a police officer criticized female victims, saying they "would not be raped if they didn't dress like sluts," said
Tippin said she was assaulted while a student at the University of Mississippi and transferred to U of M after her accused attacker was freed, first by the school and then by state prosecutors. Tippin said the student later was expelled after he was accused of attacking another female student.
"I knew that people got raped, but I didn't know that no one cares. I didn't know it was so hard to prove. I didn't know that I would be blamed and that all the burden would fall on me once it happened. That is the sad part about sexual assault," said Tippin. The Commercial Appeal generally does not identify victims of sexual assault, but Tippin said she is willing to be identified as part of the "Slutwalk" cause.
"It's a walk against victim-blaming and slut-shaming. The idea is to take back the language used against women and redefine it," said Tippin. She is recruiting others to take part in a walk this summer through an e-mail address, slutwalkmemphis@ gmail.com.
Harber said U of M has assigned a female officer, a former sex crimes officer for the Memphis Police Department, to help investigate sexual assault complaints. "We try to be much more sensitive to the victim and the victim's needs. I think we're aware now of the mistakes that used to be made."
The biggest number of crimes reported at U of M were for larceny/theft, with 171 incidents. The school reported 63 assault offenses (not including sexual assault) and 39 burglaries.
Police probe holdup of CBU student
A man with a heart-shaped face and a silver handgun robbed a Christian Brothers University student on Tuesday at student housing for the college, according to Memphis and campus police.
The armed robbery occurred about 9 p.m. outside student apartments on Oakdale, a public street abutting the campus.
The gunman did not physically attack the student and fled after the robbery, police said.
He was described as a 5-foot-10, 130-pound black man with brown eyes, broad cheek bones and an odd, heart-shaped face, according to Memphis police. His clothing included a white shirt and red Adidas athletic shoes with black stripes.
University officials said a campuswide warning was issued immediately.

2009's long, cool growing season produced low yields of concentrated, fragrant berries with high natural acidity in the hillside vineyards of Calistoga and Oak Knoll that are the source for Lewis' Napa Valley Cabernet, resulting in a perfumed and complex wine with incredible finesse. Though still powerful and rich in the signature Lewis style, elegance and refinement displace the brawn of past vintages.The nose leads with scents of blackcurrant, rose petal, and baking spice, accented by hints of savory herbs, forest floor, and toasty oak. This leads to a rich yet refined palate, where layers of juicy fruit and oak spice are framed by acidity and fine tannins. Graphite and hints of cocoa lightly dust the lingering tannins, as the wine finishes clean and surprisingly light on its feet.

Hey everyone my name is Jay. I never thought I'd be on this site, but here I am. I was born in Savannah,GA, lived there for 5 years, grew up in North Jersey and stayed there until I graduated high school. I then went to Western Michigan University for 2 years on a full athletic scholarship. I transferred to UCF my Junior year of college where I continued to play football. I graduated with a degree in Legal Studies. I worked in Savannah,GA for a year as an insurance agent, but have recently moved back down to Orlando and continue to do insurance. I currently live downtown. I am a sports fanatic. I grew up playing football, baseball and basketball. I currently play tennis competitively and also play golf. I am 1 of 6 kids(4 sisters, 1 brother), and am the 4th oldest in the family. I am religious and expect for the girl to be as well (Catholic,Christianity of some form.) I am grateful for my family and friends, and I know that I am truly blessed to have them in my life. My social life consists of sports and hanging out/partying with friends. Outside of work, during the week I play tennis 2-3x a week, workout 2-3x a week, and when I get home from either one of the above, I enjoy watching a movie, tv, or reading before bed. I also love music and to write. On the weekends, I like to be with friends at the beach, pool, or out with friends, but I am also comfortable with having a low key night with friends as well. As far as personality traits go, I am a very laid back person. I am a happy and optimisitc person in general. I try to see the best in people and give them the utmost respect, but that's what I expect from others in return as well. I have been single for 5 years. Some of it has been by choice, but I would rather be single than put myself through a relationship that I know will not work in the long run. With that said, I would like to find someone who likes to do the same things as me and believes in the same values that I do. I'm looking for a girl who is attractive, sweet, sincere, down to earth, genuine, athletic and funny. Shouldn't be too hard to find right? Haha, but ultimately that's what I'm about and what I'm looking for. The rest of my profile should be self explanatory, but if you have any other questions feel free to ask away!

NFL: ESPN Analyst Claims at least 50% of NFL Players Smoke Weed
A*trio of marijuana-related arrests*for the*Detroit Lions*this offseason is indicative of a more widespread problem plaguing the league, according to one former NFL offensive lineman.Lomas Brown, now an ESPN analyst, claims at least 50 percent of NFL players likely smoke marijuana, according to a report*in the Detroit News:I just dont think youll be able to curb this, Brown told the newspaper.In Browns eyes, this is actually an improvement. Brown claims up to 90 percent of players league-wide smoked marijuana when he began his career with the Lions in 1985.It falls in line with some recent findings:
*Four out of 10 draft-eligible prospects from the 2012 class failed at least one school-administered drug test for marijuana; two in 10 failed multiple times, per a CBS Sports report from April.
*About 70 percent of prospects at the combine admitted to using marijuana, per an ESPN report.
*A 2009 report by the NCAA stated 26.7 percent of all football players admitted using marijuana over the past 12 months, the highest number of any athlete group they surveyed.
I suppose we should be stunned. Here in Culver City, Calif., were a brief jog away from Venice Beach, where medical marijuana shacks dot the Pacific Ocean. As you walk by, vibrant youth hoist signs asking you to come in and see the doctor. A surreal scene, but a testament to how easy it is to get your hands on the drug.
Marijuana has infused our culture and dotted college campuses for decades. Browns estimates are eye-catching and perhaps disappointing, depending on your perspective. Its not something the league wants to put up, but its an issue and debate that goes far beyond the playing field.

If half the NBA and NFL stood up for legalization, you'd have people turning heads. People who admire these athletes, but otherwise not have cared about drug legalization and its benefits.
This is getting ridiculous when even the President admits he's smoked weed yet not a day goes by in this country that someone else gets locked up for doing the same thing.

The issue of legalization of marijuana rests with the politicians and the pressure from everyday people like you and me. Not from pro athletes or anyone who represents a brand.

Nothing beats a bowl of steaming split pea soup, especially if it's made in the slow cooker. The benefits to using a slow cooker as opposed to a soup pot is that you don't have to sit at the stove and watch the pot. The meal is cooked on low heat for several hours - no to worry about the food burning. Also, the flavors have a chance to get to know each other and meld together. Serve this vegetarian split pea soup with a grilled cheese or garlic toast.
2 pounds dried split peas
6 inches strip of kombu
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 celery rib, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 medium potato, diced
3 bay leaves
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of black pepper
dash of paprika
1 tablespoon vegetable base
1 tablespoon barley miso
Sort, rinse, and drain the dried peas.
Place kombu in bottom of 5-quart slow-cooker. Add peas and all other ingredients except for vegetable base and miso. Add water until ingredients are just covered
With slow-cooker on high setting, begin to cook the soup mixture. Cook for 3-5 hours; cooking time will vary with different slow-cookers
After soup has cooked for 1 hour, combine vegetable base with a small amount of soup in small cup. Add this base mixture back to soup in slow cooker. Stir thoroghly and continue to cook until ingredients are smooth and creamy.
When soup is finished cooking, turn cooker to warm setting and add miso in the same way you added the vegetable base. Stir with a wire whisk to combine, and serve.

Friend says he'll pay fine, attend safety class following boating arrest
Evansville City Councilman John Friend will pay a $150 fine and take an online safe boating course due to his arrest July 6 for operating a watercraft while intoxicated in Marshall County, Ky.
Friend appeared Monday in a Marshall County court. Two other charges, for failing to use boat lights and failing to register a watercraft, were dismissed, according to Friend and his attorney, Scott Danks.
On the weekend of his arrest by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, Friend and three of his accounting firm's clients were at Green Turtle Bay near the town of Grand Rivers to play golf for the weekend.
After their round, the group had dinner and went out on Kentucky Lake on Friend's 42-foot cabin cruiser. Friend said they had a few drinks.
Their plan was to spend the night on the boat on the lake, but they returned to the pier when lightning came into the area. A Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife officer stopped the boat for failure to have its lights on.
Friend submitted to a breath test and registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.13.
Friend, a Democrat, has represented Evansville's Fifth Ward on the City Council since 2007. He currently serves as the panel's finance chairman.
"I regret it, I'll get through and it and just learn from it, and I won't allow myself to be in that situation again," Friend said after the incident.

Big Ten Game of
the Week
(in St. Louis) 3:30 pm EST Big Ten Network
Saturday, Sept. 1
Why to Watch: Of
all the Big Ten and Big 12 week one
games, few are more intriguing when it
comes to two programs in search of a
2007 identity. Missouri appeared to
finally be on its way to turning the
corner and becoming a Big 12 powerhouse,
at least in the North, and then it lost
four of its final five games, bottoming
out with a choke (there's simply no
other word for it) against Oregon State
in the Sun Bowl. If it's ever going to
happen in the Gary Pinkel era, it has to
happen this year with the most talented
and loaded team Missouri has had in
decades. It's a different story for an
Illinois program that's won just four
games in the Ron Zook era, including a
seven-game losing streak to end last
year. However, the buzz around Champaign
is deafening with a few jaw-dropping
recruiting classes yielding as many good
young players as anyone in the Big Ten.
Basically, if Missouri is as good as
it's supposed to be, it wins a game like
this without a problem, and if Illinois
is as good as it's expected to become,
it finds a way to pull off an upset here
and announces that things have finally
Why Missouri Might Win: For
all the headlines and all the hullabaloo
around the Illini, there are still
mega-question marks for the young team.
The passing game will be an ongoing work
in progress, the running game, outside
of the scrambling of QB Juice Williams,
should be mediocre, and the defensive
line should have problems with a good
Missouri O line. The Tigers are just
good enough defensively to keep the
Illini from exploding, while the Mizzou
offense should be able to mix it up just
enough to keep control of the game
throughout. Until Williams, one of
2006's most inefficient passers, can
prove he can throw the forward pass with
any semblance of consistency, Mizzou
should be able to load up against the
Why Illinois Might Win: Even with
all the expectations on Zook and the
Illini, all the pressure is on Missouri,
and over the last few years under Pinkel,
that hasn't been a positive. You can
almost see Mizzou tighten up when the
heat is on as it tries to do too much,
tries to make too many plays that aren't
there, and misses on the plays it needs
to make to pull off the tough wins. At
least that's been the past for the
Tigers. It might be cliché, but the
longer the Illini can hang around, the
looser it should be, thanks to a
playmaker like Williams who can make
things happen with his legs and his arm,
and a defense that should be able to
keep the Tigers from running outside,
thanks to J Leman and the great
linebacking corps.
Who to Watch: Can the Illinois
linebackers handle the Missouri tight
ends? The Tigers have a special tandem
in Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman, who
should allow QB Chase Daniel to dink and
dunk to his heart's content against most
teams with mediocre linebackers. The
Illinois secondary is decent, but
nothing special, and if it has to cheat
up to help out on the tight ends, Will
Franklin should be able to make big
plays deep. The 210-pound Antonio Steele
is more like a safety playing
linebacker, and he has to come through
with a strong performance against the
pass, while Leman has to be able to
focus as much as possible on keeping
Daniel from roaming.
What Will Happen: Illinois still
has to prove it can win against anyone,
much less against a team good enough to
contend for the Big 12 title. By the end
of the year, the young Illini might be
mature enough to pull off a win like
this, and it'll certainly tag one of the
Big Ten's big boys along the way, but
Missouri is simply too good all across
the board.

Big Ten Saturday, September 1
Youngstown State
Ohio State
12 pm EST Big Ten Network
Why to Watch: OSU
head coach Jim Tressel gets to face the
program he helped make into a national
powerhouse, and while the Buckeyes
should be able to show up and win
without breaking too much of a sweat,
Youngstown State is one of the better
FCS (that's D-IAA to you and me) teams,
ranked as high as fifth in the nation to
start the year. Of course, all eyes are
going to be on a Buckeye team that's
still woozy from getting run over in
Glendale. Call this the first step back
on the road to what should be another
tremendous season.
Why Youngstown State Might Win: The
edge in quarterback experience is
decidedly in YSU's favor with the return
of Tom Zetts, one of the program's most
successful passers. He's not big, but
he's accurate and has 36 starts under
his belt. No, YSU won't win, but if
Zetts is on, the game could be a bit
closer than expected. Defensively, the
Penguins were great last year at coming
through when they absolutely had to.
They might give up a ton of yards, but
with the Buckeye attack still needing
time to get its feet wet, YSU should be
able to come up with a few early stops.
Why Ohio State Might Win:
OSU isn't the only team breaking in a
slew of new starters. The Penguins have
to replace 12 starters, and while
several key players are in place, this
is not the time to try to jell and tune
up. The formula should be simple for the
Buckeyes. Pound the ball at will with a
great offensive line and Chris Wells
running for big yards, give the passing
game time to operate, go home and
prepare for Akron.
Who to Watch: Everyone will be
focused on new Buckeye QB Todd Boeckman,
who not only has to replace a Heisman-winning
legend, but has to play well or risk
getting pushed aside for Robbie
Schoenhoft or Antonio Henton. In a
perfect world, Boeckman is sharp and OSU
gets out to a big early lead so the
backups can show what they can do, but
if there's even a hiccup along the way,
there will be some grumbling about the
starting quarterback situation going
into the Akron game.
What Will Happen: Youngstown
State has one 11 straight season
openers. The streak will stop there.
Even though it might just be against YSU,
watch for the Buckeye D to try to make
an early statement after the way last
season ended. Considering Tressel's past
at YSU, he won't run up the score if
humanly possible.
CFN Prediction: Ohio State 40 ...
Youngstown State 0

Final Score:
Penn State
12 pm EST Big Ten Network
Why to Watch: It's
hard to find a bigger disparity in
coaching age and experience than the
matchup in Happy Valley. On one side is
Joe Paterno., the legend who's going
into his 42nd year as the Penn State
head man. On the other is Mario
Cristobal, the 36-year-old tireless
recruiter who's trying to make FIU into
another Miami. The Golden Panthers
appeared to be all set for a big 2006,
but it couldn't come up with a close
win, got into a fight with Miami, and
lost most of its team on the way to a
winless season. Now Cristobal is looking
to make a big splash right off the bat
with a decent showing. The Nittany Lions
have Notre Dame next week and need to
use this game to tune up.
Why FIU Might Win: Defense,
defense, defense. The offense didn't do
anything last year, and will need a
while before it's even remotely average,
but the defense has enough experience
and enough athleticism to be tough from
the opening snap. The secondary isn't
better than Penn State's but corner
Lionell Singleton might be the best
defensive back in the game, while
there's good enough size on the interior
to gum things up against the run. This
is a better defense than last year's
group that didn't give up more than 38
points in any game (Alabama), and that
came the week after the suspensions from
the Miami game. Unfortunately for the
Golden Panthers ...
Why Penn State Might Win:
... you can't win if you don't score.
Last year's FIU attack finished dead
last in the nation in scoring and 116th
in yards. Eight starters might be back,
but it's going to take a while before
there's any production. The strength is
in the running game, and Penn State's
linebackers will put a stop to that from
the start. There won't be any passing
game whatsoever for the Nittany Lion
defensive backs to worry about.
Who to Watch: O.K. Austin Scott,
here's your last shot. The superstar
Penn State running back recruit has had
a star crossed career due to injuries
and ineffectiveness, but it's his show
now and it's his final chance to carry
the workload. While he's not going to be
Larry Johnson, a one-time disappointing
prospect who went ballistic in his
senior season, he should be just good
enough to take the pressure off Anthony
Morelli and the passing attack. If he
struggles in the opener, watch for the
panic alarms to go off among the Nittany
Lion faithful.
What Will Happen: FIU will be
flying all over the field defensively,
and will come up with a few big moments
to make the 100,000+ in the stands to
grumble, but eventually, Morelli will
come up with a few big pass plays and
the running game will get good enough
field position to always be in scoring

Final Score:
12 pm EST Big Ten Network
Why to Watch: Northwestern
looks to get off to a hot start against
the Huskies from the Boston-based school
before dealing with Nevada next week.
There's plenty of optimism around
Evanston with second-year head coach Pat
Fitzgerald knowing what he's doing a
little more, and enough experience and
talent returning on both sides of the
ball to make a run at a bowl bid.
However, the Cats can't afford to drop a
game like this, and Northeastern is just
good enough to pull off the upset if
everything breaks right. This is a
veteran team that isn't going to be
fazed by playing a Big Ten team.
Why Northeastern Might Win: New
Hampshire. Of course, this is a
different year and a different
Northwestern team, but the Wildcats lost
to New Hampshire last year in a game
that wasn't even as close as the 34-17
final score might indicate. 16 starters
return to the Huskies led by a Big
Ten-sized offensive line that should be
able to do a little pushing around
against a suspect Wildcat run defense.
Why Northwestern Might Win: The
NU offensive line should dominate. This
is a scrappy 3-4 Northeastern run
defense, but it's not all that great.
The Wildcats shouldn't have to open up
the passing game too often, but the
chances will be there with the safeties
all but certain to be cheating up to
make sure Tyrell Sutton doesn't go nuts.
Who to Watch: It took almost all
of last year for Northwestern to get its
quarterback situation in place, and now
junior C.J. Bacher appears ready to
become the offense's leader over the
next three seasons. He's not quite the
runner the NU offense might prefer, but
he's a tremendous passer who'll make the
offense go with more consistency than it
had last tear. Getting off to a hot
start is a must. For Northeastern, it
goes with a two-headed quarterback
attack of juniors Anthony Orio and John
Sperraza. They're veterans who offer
something different with Orio a runner
and Sperraza more of a passer.
What Will Happen: Northwestern
will pull off the battle of the compass
with a balanced attack that should move
the ball without much of a problem. The
Huskies will keep things close for at
least a quarter, but won't have enough
offense to stay alive in the second

Why to Watch: It's
the debut for two new coaching staffs
with Mark Dantonio looking to provide
some more toughness and stability to a
Michigan State team that's been dying
for some semblance of consistency, while
Neil Callaway takes over a struggling
UAB program that's all but starting from
scratch. After closing out last year
losing eight of the final nine games,
and needing an all-timer of a comeback
against Northwestern for the one win,
MSU could use a big opening day
performance just to build up a little
confidence. UAB has to do everything
possible to hold up and avoid getting
run over before facing Florida State.
Why UAB Might Win: It's not
like the Michigan State defense is going
to throw a lot of bells and whistles at
the UAB offense, which is a good thing
considering the Blazers will need time
to figure out what it's doing. In the
opener, look for the Spartans to try to
win with a pounding running game and
solid defense, which in the end should
work, but could also be a recipe to keep
UAB in the game longer than Spartan fans
might like. On the flip side ...
Why Michigan State Might Win:
... the Spartans shouldn't need to get
too fancy to pull this out. UAB is
starting from scratch on offense,
scrapping last year's offense for a
pro-style attack despite not quite
having the pieces in place. If the
Spartan defensive line was ever going to
have a big game, this would be it
against a Blazer offensive line that
might be the worst in Conference USA.
Who to Watch: UAB's question mark
all season long surrounded the starting
quarterback situation. Would it be the
big, promising sophomore Joseph Webb, or
the big, athletic senior Sam Hunt? After
a summer to try to figure it out, the
answer appears to be both. Each passer
will get time under center, but Webb
will be more in the mix, staying on the
field as a wide receiver when Hunt is
in. This game could go a long way to
finally deciding on a main man. For MSU,
Brian Hoyer is the unquestioned number
one, and while he doesn't have to carry
the offense, with a loaded backfield and
running game to to work with, he needs
to inspire confidence right away with a
solid performance. He might not be as
talented as Drew Stanton, but the
Spartans would take more consistency
over NFL potential.
What Will Happen: It'll be a
stunner if the Spartans don't dominate
the time of possession, or at least the
tempo of the game, with a strong ground
attack that wears down the Blazer
defensive front. Javon Ringer and Jenuu
Caulcrick should have few problems
cranking out big yards.
