Riddick (2013)
Riddick SynopsisRiddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human hes encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters wont leave the planet without Riddicks head as their trophy.

Weekend Box Office: Riddick Takes Number One, Topping Everyone Except Himself

This Rotten Week: Predicting Riddick Reviews
Its Labor Day weekend here at the Jersey Shore. And though I havent been able to track down my boys Paul DelVecchio and Michael Sorrentino Im still getting my party on. For instance, last night a house full of sub two-year-olds went to bed at 8:30 and us adults made it up until 11PM before crashing. So I think I know a little something about keeping the Jersey Shore right. This week weve got a slow Labor Day as Riddick comes back to the big screens

Jordi Molla To Play The Villain In Riddick Sequel
Molla was the only thing I actually liked about Columbiana, though I'm curious to see how Twohy uses him in the film. He's not exactly known for playing over-the-top, bombastic characters, so maybe he'll just be the level-headed, military-minded leader that's hunting down Riddick. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Word is that the script has Riddick stranded on yet another barren planet surrounded by monsters and mercenaries who want him dead. This is almost exactly the plot of Pitch Black.

Price Value Quality
Used this MF60 hotspot for nearly a month, and I found there are three things stand out:
Setup is easy - I did not install the client software but instead browsed straight to the embedded web page, entered the password, changed the SSID and WPA2 key and I was connected.
Portability - it is so easy to keep the MiFi in a pocket and use it to connect personal devices like an iPod or my old non-3G Blackberry
OLED status display is really good - you can see the connection status - number of bars, 2G, 3G and connection status and more.
A real good device!

I did not want to pay for a separate data plan for my iPhone, iPad and laptop, This device suits my needs perfectly. I now pay for just one data plan for all my devices and better, I can have my personal hotspot anywhere whether at home, commute to work and at work (Posted on 10/31/11)

Considering this router supports up to 8 users access on Internet at one time, finally I chose this MF60 instead of E583c though it is a little expensive because there are multiple devices to connect it in my family. I currently use this with a laptop, macbook pro, iphone, and ipad and it quite simply superb.
No longer do I have to pay ridiculous rates in hotels for their internet services and nor do I need an ipad with 3g as this allows wifi connection.
Worked straight out of the box and can confirm it is indeed unlocked. It deserve.

I wanted one of these devices to allow me to use "local" sims when I travel in Europe. This is definetly unlock router, and I was able to configure it and get it working with several different sims. It does take a bit of research to understand how to configure it for use with other providers sims, and this information is not provided with the modem, but is easily found on the internet.
I'm now able to get cheap local PAYG sims when I travel in Europe for internet without paying the outrageous roaming fees I would have been subject to otherwise.

Tennessee Population 2016
Situated in the South Eastern sector of the United States, Tennessee is only the 36th largest state in the country but it is the 17th most densely populated. Despite its size, it is only the 21st most densely populated state in the country. The current estimated population for 2013 is 6,512,027, up from 6.34 million at the 2010 Census. Tennessee currently has a growth rate of 0.86%, which ranks 23rd in the country.
Tennessee Population 2014
If you're looking for the population of any US state in 2013 you have to go back to the last nationwide census which was carried out in 2010. At the time it was confirmed that the state's population stood at 6,346,105. That's a rise of 11.5% on the statistics from the previous census, in 2000.
It's estimated that the population has grown even further to 6,512,027 in 2013, which pushes it past 6.5 million for the first time.
For a breakdown of which Tennessee counties' population are increasing, and which are decreasing, take a look at our interactive map. Read on for more information about the Tennessee Population in 2013, or head across to our US population summary for more information about demographic changes around the country.
Tennessee Population Density
Although relatively small in terms of numbers, Tennessee provides some interesting statistics in relation to population density. This is a relatively small area that covers 42,143 square miles (109,247 square kilometers) but for every square mile of Tennessee turf, there is an average of 155 people living here, making Tennessee the 17th most densely populated state in the entire country.
You can see the largest cities in Tennessee on the map – they're the red blotches. The largest city in Tennessee is Memphis in the far east of the state, home to 662,897 people at the time of the 2010 census. The second largest, in the middle of the state, is Nashville, which had 626,681 residents in 2010. Nashville's metropolitan area popualtion is larger than the Memphis metropolitan area's though – 1,589,934 people in Nashville compared to 1,316,100 in Memphis.
Tennessee Demographics
According to the 2010 Census, the racial breakdown of Tennessee was:
- 77.6% White (75.6% non-Hispanic)
- 16.7% African American or Black
- 0.3% American Indian and Alaska Native
- 1.4% Asian American
- 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander
- 1.7% Multiracial
- 3.6% Other
- 4.6% Hispanic or Latino of any race
The most common ancestries include: American (17.3%), African American (13%), Irish (9.3%), English (9.1%) and German (8.3%). It's estimated that about one quarter of the residents are of predominantly English ancestry, though.
Tennessee Population History
Way back in 1790, it was reported that the population of Tennessee was just 35,691 but like most areas in this part of the world, a population explosion was just over the horizon. Just ten years later, at the start of the 19th century, numbers here had grown by nearly 200% to 105,602.
That was by far the biggest spike in the Tennessee population but sustained increases throughout the 1800's meant that by the time the 20th century rolled in, the number of people who lived in Tennessee had just crept over the two million mark.
The 1900's showed a similar pattern of overall growth and that has continued to the present day where the Tennessee population in 2013 has finally surpassed 6.5 million.
Tennessee Population Growth
Figures relating to the natural growth patterns within Tennessee were released in 2006 and they showed that in the six years since the previous census, numbers had increased by 142,266 due to 493,881 births minus 351,615 deaths, and in addition, there had been a rise of 219,551 due to net migration.
There are no reasons to suggest that healthy rises won't continue for the foreseeable future. It's projected that Tennessee's population will surpass 6.86 million by the 2020 Census and finally pass that 7 million mark before 2025.

In response to Godvernment's comment:
In response to garytx's comment:
I hadn't seen any one who wants Welker gone so I don't know where this idea comes from. Rest assured, it ain't going to be an easy thing to do. It is a reality that money plays a huge part in all of this and that's just the age of FA. Good players are going to be let go and that not only happens in Patsland. Other teams face the same challenge.
Outside of that I have no idea how the Pats/BB will handle it. With the three TEs you may see Hernandez in the slot, moving to the backfield like we see him do from time to time. I often thought of what that look would be like and would seem to give offer mismatches for the bigger Hernandez. I caution this with the critics who says Welker misses key drops because Hernandez has trouble at times with the ball too.
i want butterfinger wes gone.. BB can replace him with me.. i'll play for the minimum and can drop clutch passes just as well as wes and for a fraction of the cost.
Welker gets hit hard constantly. The first time you got hit by an NFL defensive player you would walk off the field and out of the stadium (that is, if you could walk).

Kugel Swing Pedal Assembly - Swing TimeWritten by on December 1, 2011 Hanging pedals in an A
Building a street rod is not unlike trying to fit 10 pounds of stuff into a 2-pound bag; there are lots of parts to put in a vehicle that doesn't have room for many of them. When faced with such a dilemma there are but two logical choices: make the stuff smaller or the bag bigger. We've applied that thought process to a Model A pickup.
Judging by diminutive dimensions of a Ford pickup cab we suspect people were somehow miniaturized in the days of the A, an issue addressed in the Oct. '10 issue of Street Rodder when we introduced the stretched version offered by Kelvin Waddington in Australia (check the Roadster Ute website for U.S. distributors). The addition of 6 inches behind the doors means these bigger little haulers can house full-size people in comfort, which prompted Editor Brennan to undertake building one. But while there is more room inside for husky editorial types there are some necessary parts that require space that remains scarce, namely the brake and clutch linkage and master cylinders.
While it's common to use floor pedals in street rods, those assemblies often have to share the limited underbody space with a variety of things, including with the exhaust system. Not only does that present packaging challenges, it can expose the master cylinders and hydraulic lines to excessive heat, which can degrade their operation. An obvious cure is to use swing pedals, but then the master cylinders protrude into the engine compartment. What was needed in this application was a more compact arrangement so the dynamic duo of Brennan and Waddington turned to Kugel Komponents for one of their underdash pedal assemblies. Kugel's offers a number of swing pedal assemblies—brakes or brakes and hydraulic clutch with master cylinders mounted through the firewall or under the dash at 90- or 180-degree angles. For this application the 90-degree style was used.
As mounting positions vary greatly, Kugel's pedal assemblies are universal in design and brackets for them have to be fabricated. However, since the 90-degree pedals are such a natural in a Model A, Kelvin has designed a kit to install them in his cabs. While the installation shown here is in a specific vehicle, Kugel's compact underdash swing pedal assemblies can be adapted to a variety of other space-challenged rods. Think of them as 2 pounds of stuff for that 10-pound bag.

In stock form the gas tank would be located here.To mount the Kugel pedal assembly to the cowl brackets had to be designed. This is the template (right) for the finished bracket (right) that attaches to the cowl.Here the cowl bracket has been bolted in place. This would work in a stock body with the gas tank removed.This bracket is formed to attach to the recessed firewall and will be welded in place. It provides support for the bracket bolted to the cowl.This is the master cylinder mounting surface of the Kugel pedal assembly. The two slots are for the brake master cylinder, the four holes around the larger center hole are for mounting a booster if used. The holes on the left and right edges are for attachment brackets.
The previously shown support bracket attaches with a pair of bolts to a tab that will be welded to the firewall. Once all the mounting tabs are attached, the pedal assembly will be easily removable if necessary.In this view the bellcrank for the brake master cylinder can be seen, to the left is the mount for the clutch master cylinder.Another view of the same bracket shows how it attaches to the pedal assembly support. The end result are pedals that are solidly mounted with no flex in operation.Kugel offers a variety of pedal assemblies, including this new balance bar design. Two brake master cylinders are used—front/rear braking balance can be tuned via push rod adjustments.

Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, this fall, the Belarusian Government is planning to hold their second presidential elections since independence. Judging by the continuing actions of the repressive regime of Aleksandr Lukashenka, free, fair, and transparent elections--consistent with Belarus' freely undertaken OSCE commitments--will be very difficult to achieve. Democratic elections require an all-encompassing atmosphere of trust and a respect for basic human rights. Unfortunately, recent actions in Belarus do nothing to encourage such trust.
Most recently, on March 25, Belarusian authorities cracked down on participants of the Independence Day march, arresting and beating several protestors, subsequently fining and jailing some, including Belarusian Popular Front Chairman Vintsuk Vyachorka, who received a 15-day sentence on March 29, Ales Byaletsky, head of the human rights center ``Viasna'', who received a 10-day sentence, and Yuri Belenky, acting chairman of the Conservative Christian Party, who also received a 10-day sentence. Also detained and beaten was 17-year-old Dmitri Yegorov, a photojournalist for a Grodno-based, non-state newspaper.
On the day of the march, Belarusian state television accused the opposition of ``seeking to draw Belaras into some bloody turmoil'', reflecting its increasingly shrill tone of late. Earlier this year, for instance, Belarusian television claimed the CIA was intensifying ``subversive activity'' as the presidential election draws nearer. On March 24, Belarus' KGB chief pledged on Belarusian television to intensify surveillance of foreigners in order to prevent them from interfering in the country's domestic matters.
On March 12, Lukashenka signed Decree #8, which essentially imposes restrictions from abroad offered to NGOs for democracy building and human rights, including election monitoring. Moreover, the Belarusian Government has claimed that the OSCE Advisory and Monitoring Group's (AMG) domestic election observation project does not conform with the Belarusian Constitution and
Mr. Speaker, I am also concerned about recent assaults on religious communities. Last month, the Council of Ministers restricted visits by foreign clergy for ``non-religious'' purposes--including contact with religious and other organizations, participation in conferences and other events, or charitable activities. Government officials are also refusing to register some Reform Jewish communities because they do not have ``legal'' addresses. In February, state-controlled Belarusian television aired a documentary alleging Catholicism as a threat to the very existence of the Belarusian nation. And in January, leaders of Belarus' Protestant community alleged that state newspapers carried biased articles that present Pentecostals as ``wild fanatics.''
Religious freedom is not the only liberty in peril. Freedom of the press and of self expression are also in jeopardy.
Editors of a variety of newspapers are being fined on fictitious and trumped-up charges for violating the Law on Press and Other Mass Media. Various periodicals are being confiscated and destroyed, and distributors of independent newspapers have been arrested. Youth organizations have been accused of engaging in activities that weaken the Belarusian statehood and undermining socioeconomic stability. Teenagers have been arrested for picketing and protesting, and others have been detained for distributing newspapers or pasting stickers advocating reform and calling on the authorities to solve the cases of political disappearances. Belarusian Television and Radio (BTR) has also canceled scheduled addresses to be made by potential presidential candidates or opposition leaders. The Deputy Minister of Education has ordered heads of the educational community to ban seminars conducted by the People's University.
Lukashenka has also undertaken repressive acts against the potential presidential candidates and their families in an attempt to thwart their campaign progress.
Family members of former Prime Minister Mikhail Chigir have become the target of persecution. Chigir's wife has been accused of interfering with the work of the police, and his son, Alexander, has been charged with large scale larceny. Chigir is not the only potential candidate whose actions have been thwarted by Lukashenka. Semyon Domash's meeting with potential voters at the Tourist Hotel was canceled on orders from the Mogilev authorities and a director of the clubhouse of the Brest Association of Hearing-Impaired People lost her job after hosting a February 3 voters' meeting with Domash. Vladimir Goncharik, a labor leader, has had to deal with newly state-created ``unions'' trying to muscle out unions supporting him. Two officials of a manufacturing plant were reprimanded by a Borisov city court for hosting a meeting between Chigir and employees at the plant.
When one looks at these and other recent actions of the Lukashenka regime, the inescapable conclusion is that the regime has created an unhealthy environment in advance of the elections. Mr. Speaker, the regime's behavior is obviously not conducive to the promotion of free and fair elections. A few weeks ago, President Lukashenka stressed the need to establish an atmosphere of trust in bilateral Belarusian-U.S. relations. I strongly encourage Mr. Lukashenka to translate his words into concrete deeds that will encourage this trust and lead to the emergence of Belarus from its self-imposed isolation from the Euro-Atlantic community of democracies.

The members of Kentucky's Black Stone Cherry take pride in their closeness. They are still just four guys rocking out and living their dream. BSC's just-released third studio album, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, reached the Top 30 in the Billboard 200 and the group is currently on the Carnival of Madness tour with Alter Bridge, Theory of a Deadman, and Emphatic. The tour hits Dayton's X-Fest, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, this Sunday (click here for concert details). CityBeat recently spoke with Black Stone Cherry lead singer Chris Robertson in depth about the band and the personal issues he has dealt with over the past few years.
A lot of people still call it "Jazz Fest" (a hold-over from some of its early names, like the Kool Jazz Festival) and more recently (as of last year) it went by the name of Macy's Music Festival, but Cincinnati's popular, long-running celebration of classic and contemporary R&B and Soul is now cutting to the chase and, for its 2015 edition, will be called the "Cincinnati Music Festival."
The name and logo may be different (and the primary sponsor is now P&G), but not much else has changed. This year's event takes place July 24-25 at Paul Brown Stadium on the riverfront. Tickets for the fest — which began in 1962 in Carthage as the Ohio Valley Jazz Festival and has featured everyone from Miles Davis and George Benson to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye — go on sale this Saturday through Ticketmaster.com.
This year's lineup features Maxwell, Jennifer Hudson, The O'Jays, Joe and Luke James on July 24. For July 25, the event will feature longtime fest faves Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, plus Jill Scott, KEM, Avery Sunshine and Mali Music.

I hate festivals. I hate that they're always at the peak of a heat wave or in the middle of a tornado warning. I hate that 90 percent of festival goers don't understand the concept of deodorant. I hate the rushing around to multiple stages and the trying to decide who you like best when two awesome bands are both playing at 6 p.m I hate that my friends hate festivals, too, and always refuse to go with me. And I really hate the lack of cold beverages.
And yet Saturday afternoon found me in the middle of the crowd at Bunbury falling hopelessly in love with some band called "Imagine Dragons."
It began during the second song I heard after arriving late to the Bud Light Stage. The lead singer, Dan Reynolds, bounced from one end of the stage to the other. The crowd around me sang along to songs I'd only heard once before, throwing their hands above their heads, voices to the sky and adoration at the stage. They practically worshiped a guy I'd only seen once in a small picture on Wikipedia. My love deepened when Reynolds spoke with absolute sincerity about how much it meant to see so many people singing along to their songs. Imagine Dragons hadn't even performed in Cincinnati until their stop at Bunbury.
Then, as it often does, my heart melted at the sound of motorcycle boots and a palm on the chest as they thumped out a beat. Finally, my mug o' love filled with melt-y heart goo, overflowed when the drummer, Daniel Platzman, flung himself off the stage after their set and bequeathed drumsticks to his adoring fans. These guys were perfect. Their music was made for screaming and dancing and the band members seemed so genuine.Nothing gets to me faster than a shaggy-haired dude saying a heartfelt "thank you" to his fans.
Thirty minutes into my time at Bunbury and I was madly in love.
It happens all the time, my falling in love at festivals In 1998, it was Hanson at a radio station festival in Miami. In 2001, it was a boy named Justin at the Buzz Bake Sale. Last year, it was The David Mayfield Parade at Appalachian Uprising and Avett Brothers at Memphis in May. This year I fell in love with Ben Howard at Bonnaroo and Imagine Dragons at Bunbury.
That feeling you get when you realize you've happened upon something amazing is pretty rare. Festivals, though, are like breeding grounds for that sensation. I'm certain that while music fans think festivals exist so they can see all their favorite bands at once, their organizers think festivals exist only for the purpose of making people gain new favorite bands.
Study any festival schedule and you'll see what I mean. At some point during the day there will be about an hour of time where there will be three bands playing and you won't have heard of any of them. You'll call that, "dinner time." However, as you wander along, looking for the perfect supper, you'll also shuffle past three stages of random music. Almost inevitably the sound from of those stages will catch your attention and pull you across the grass to the barricade. Forty-five minutes later, you're buying the band's EP and mass texting your friends to tell them to check out this new band you just heard.
On Saturday I saw, among others, Manchester Orchestra, Gaslight Anthem and Weezer. (Weezer!) They were awesome, just as I'd expected. I flew from stage to stage, trying to catch as much of everything as possible. But the show that held my attention for the longest time was on the smaller stage and it lured me in while I was looking around for something to drink other than beer. The performance I'll remember years from now won't be Weezer, whom I've waited so long to see. It will be Imagine Dragons and it will be a memory of yet another time I fell in love.
In the words of James Hetfield (Metallica, y'all), "Nothing else matters."
However, I'm supposed to report on the entire festival. So, here's how the rest of my evening went something like this: I had Taco Azul for dinner and they were yummy beyond belief. I left for a bit to make my first ever walk across the Purple People Bridge to score photos of the fest from afar and I don't regret that decision.
I spent a very long time wandering from one end of the park to the other in search of cold soda/pop, found none and I spent a hot second hoping that my poor editor thought to bring his Diet Pepsi from home. So, I bought a warm beer and immediately regretted that decision. I refused to use the porta-potties. I wandered by a DJed stage and considered how much better that section would be if it were more like Bonnaroo's Silent Disco where everyone listened to music through headphones instead. Also, I briefly questioned the logic of scheduling the festival on the same weekend as a Reds game and the World Choir Games.
It was an awesome day. Fell in love, lost five pounds from sweating so much, and saw (here it comes, again) Weezer! And you know what else? I still don't smell like a hobo.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This year's 20th anniversary edition of Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park was once again a live, breathing, three-day mixtape featuring star artists (Coldplay, Eminem, Foo Fighters), established performers, cult heroes and up-and-comers. Local writer Leyla Shokoohe attended her very first Lollapalooza this past weekend and agreed to write about the experience for CityBeat. Below is her report on Day 1 as well as video from some of the performances mentioned, mostly from Lollapalooza's YouTube page. Keep an eye on this space for Day 2 and 3 dispatches soon.
This year the weather was beautiful and the bands did not disappoint. Dust storms formed in mosh pits as fans enjoyed the show.
Leading up to the show we sat down with Jacoby Shaddix, the lead singer from Papa Roach, to discuss the festival, their new record, and how to keep a marriage strong.
One of the more popular features at this year's MidPoint Music Festival isn't a band or singer/songwriter — it's a truck. The "Rolling Record Store" used by (and stocked with releases from) Jack White's Third Man Records will be at MPMF Sept. 28 and 29, between visits to the Muddy Roots Festival and New York City's CMJ conference/fest.
An extension of White's tiny Third Man record store in Nashville (connected to his label's HQ), the record truck stocks all kinds of Third Man releases, including limited edition vinyl, as well as various Third Man merch. There is also reportedly a DJ station so visitors can spin tunes and a sound system was installed so that bands/musicians can plug in and play. White himself has performed a few times along the Rolling Store's travels (but it's not a guarantee).
The Third Man Records Rolling Record store — which debuted last year at South By Southwest in Austin, Tex. — will make a great addition to the growing MidPoint Midway, the outdoor area featuring vendors, a side-stage, poster exhibitions and other cool "pop up" projects. The bright-yellow truck even has local ties — it was built by Erlanger, Ky.'s C. Cook Enterprises, a car restoration and metal fabrication shop.
I visited White's Third Man headquarters in Nashville a few weeks ago and got to check out the cool merchandise on sale in that closet-sized shop. The Rolling Record Store was parked in the parking lot. I didn't get a tour, but even from the outside, it's a pretty striking vehicle (and I took a few photos, like the one above). Can't wait to see inside at the end of next month!
Here's White playing a "B show" (side gigs on his current solo tour) next to the truck during the recent Outside Lands Festival.
As Thursday began, we heard the tragic news of two people from the Tristate who were killed in an automobile accident on their way to the festival. (Five others were injured in the same crash.)
All told, Bonnaroo attendees and staff number close to 90,000 souls during peak hours. For this long weekend in June Manchester becomes the seventh largest city in Tennessee, with births and deaths on-site like one would expect in a small city over the course of any 96-hour span.
On a brighter note, this year's festival kicked off with a young couple tying the knot under the multi colored arch at Bonnaroo entrance.
In the late afternoon I wandered through Centeroo, perusing the various vendors' booths. Corporate sponsors abound, but non-profits and independent artisans dominate the Bonnaroo bazaar.
In the shadow of a Ferris wheel and psychedelic light tower a giant throng gathered in and around the area surrounding the Other Tent to greet Cincinnati's pure Pop pride and joy Walk The Moon.
Technical glitches delayed the start of their set but they had the crowd bouncing, clapping, singing along and eating out of their hands from the minute they took the stage.
WTM singer Nicholas Petricca shouted, "We're called Walk The Moon! We're from Ohio!" and the crowd roared as the band launched into their single "Tightrope." This writer has never seen a larger crowd assembled for a performance in the Other Tent and Petricca's buoyant charm and boundless energy kept the crowd pumped and jumping throughout the bands' entire performance.
Later in That Tent, Father John Misty brought the weird and the beard via his sardonic Folk Rock parables. I half-expected the depth and humor of FJM's material to sail over the heads of most Bonnaroovians but I was pleasantly surprised to hear many people singing along. A huge fan of his new Fear Fun album, I think I would have driven all the way to Tennessee just to hear Misty sing "Only Son Of The Ladiesman". He didn't make me wait long, playing it in the No. 2 slot.

John 5 has seen almost everything in Rock music. He's toured with David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie (with whom he's currently rockin') and been credited on songs from a wide range of artists — from Saliva to Salt n Pepa to k.d. lang to an upcoming collaboration with Rod Stewart. The guitarist has gained the reputation as a musical genius and one of the most action-packed guitarists in the world. He has just released his sixth solo album, God Told Me To, which mixes acoustic Spanish guitar along with Metal riffs.
CityBeat caught up with the guitar player to talk about the new album and some of the darker aspects of what goes into his writing, as well as the lighter aspects help put him to sleep every night. John 5 will take the stage with headliner Rob Zombie this Sunday at Rock on the Range in Columbus.
CityBeat: Can you tell us about the name of your album, God Told Me To?
John 5: The name, it is funny because … I am from Michigan, I am from Grosse Pointe. I was upper class growing up there. I was brought up in a really nice environment and home and I remember the night before I was leaving for California to really give it my shot saying, "I am going to try this. I am going to try to be this musician type of thing." I remember I was saying my little prayer. I never wished to be a "rock star." I just wanted to be a working musician. My dreams didn't even go past a session player or a working musician. It was too far beyond my dreams. That's kind of what the title means, that kind of thing, but also you can look at in the negative way, like when someone does a horrific murder, they always say, "Oh, God told me to."
CB: I have read a lot of discussion in your recent interviews about serial killers and even the song "Night Stalker" being written about Richard Ramirez. Do you have an interest in serial killers and the history and stories behind them?
J5: I think it is interesting to me about how the mind works and how someone is wired, how their mind works, how it is completely OK to do these things, which I could never even think of doing something like that. It was always so interesting to read about this or watch documentaries. It is so odd for something like that to happen, so I have always had this little fascination with it — not that I am pro-for that kind of thing or anything but it is just very interesting to see something like that.
CB: I got a copy of the album and have been listening to it today. I love the acoustic Spanish-style versions on some of the songs. I know you are a lifelong learner. Did you take specific lessons around Flamenco or Spanish-style guitar lessons?
J5: Yes, I have always tried to learn, it is what keeps me sane. I love to learn and I started doing a lot of studying of Spanish-style music and really started getting into it and how it is just a completely different form of guitar playing. It is just like if you started speaking in a different language like Japanese or something. It is something that you have to study and work at a lot. That is what I enjoy because I love the guitar so much. Yes, I did a lot of studying and research on that.
CB: What current music is inspiring me right now?
J5: What current music is inspiring? You know what, and this will be a surprise, but I usually am very honest. I have had a little epiphany and this is very shocking. I was watching some movie or something like that and a N.W.A. song was on and I am no fan of Rap music, I really am not because I like the guitar. So I heard this N.W.A. song, I think it was "Gangsta Gangsta," and I was like, "This is really, really, really good." It was eye-opening to me and I appreciate it now. I was pretty taken back by it. I would have to say N.W.A. (is a current inspiration), which I can't believe I am saying but it is the truth.
CB: There are a lot of bands right now collaborating outside their genres. Korn has collaborated with Skrillex and trying to create a lot of different sounds which would traditionally maybe not be in Metal music.
J5: Sure, and I think it is very important for that to happen because of the fact music has to always evolve and if it doesn't, it has failed. It is good that it is evolving.
It's no secret that Chicago is a great place for music. Pretty much any touring band of note — and no doubt many a musical outfit that need not be noted — is sure to include a Chicago stop, and the city's local scene remains rich and diverse, aided by a host of nurturing venues and an eager, uncommonly discerning base of listeners. That it's only a five-hour drive from Cincinnati makes it an enticing destination for those of us who yearn to catch shows that skip the Queen City.
Chicago's embarrassment of musical riches has only grown in recent years with the addition of two high-profile three-day summer festivals: Lollapalooza and Pitchfork. The former needs little introduction — Perry Farrell's unexpectedly fruitful brainchild is, almost undeniably, the inspiration for the explosion of summer fests over the last two decades, a trend that has grown even more robust since the turn of the century. Every weekend each summer now features at least one festival worthy of audiences' ears. The trend has even reached Cincinnati, where Bunbury just finished its second successful year — and shared a headliner with Pitchfork. (Whether outdoor settings, marked by often difficult weather conditions and bright sunlight, is the best way to experience the type of music offered at such festivals is a different question.)
Lollapalooza is, alongside behemoths Coachella and Boonaroo, one of America's biggest and best-attended summer fests, boasting more than 130 artists and an audience in excess of 150,000. Pitchfork, meanwhile, has quickly established itself as a singular presence on the summer circuit, a discerningly curated endeavor that's an extension of the influential, taste-making webzine that runs it. (Chicago-based Pitchfork.com took over the business side of the fest in 2006 after curating 2005's initial gathering, which was then called the Intonation Festival). Set in Union Park — a modest city-block space just west of downtown Chicago — Pitchfork now features nearly 50 artists, many of which are still unfamiliar to all but the most plugged-in Indie music connoisseurs. (Ironically, as a champion of cutting-edge acts on the way up, Pitchfork also serves as an early snapshot of future Lollapalooza lineups.)
This year's Pitchfork, which ran July 19-21, offered one of its most curious lineups to date, especially as it pertains to the headliners, which included Bjork, Belle and Sebastian and, somewhat controversially, R. Kelly. Sure, there were several typically lesser-known acts on the bill, but almost all of them graced the Blue Stage, the smallest of the fest's three stages. Whether this year's more accessible bill might have been a reaction to last year's fest, which gave relatively high-profile slots to such interesting but largely faceless artists as AraabMuzik, Purity Ring, The Field, Big K.R.I.T., Hot Chip and Chavez, among others, is anyone's guess, but a realignment of sorts from Pitchfork's powers that be seems plausible.
More proof of a possible shift in booking philosophy: There were more veteran acts than ever this year. Beyond the headliners, each of which has been making music for more than two decades, there was Wire, The Breeders, Swans, … And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Low and Yo La Tengo. The only comparable 2012 act in terms of longevity — admittedly not the best gauge when it comes to creative vitality, but we're talking audience-drawers here — was Godspeed You Black Emperor, which headlined along with Feist and Vampire Weekend. All are solid acts, but none of them are likely to perk the senses of those looking for a little "star power." Enter Kelly, one of the era's preeminent hit-makers (more on that later).
As usual, many of Pitchfork 2013's most interesting artists emanated from the Blue Stage, which is the most intimate of the fest's three stages — the larger Green and Red stages (note the refreshing lack of corporate branding, another sign of Pitchfork's discerning nature), which are but 50 yards (or so) apart, alternate acts at the north end of Union Park, while Blue's lineup overlaps with the other two. Tucked into a tree-laden area of the park's southwest corner, the Blue Stage is something of a festival unto itself, its cozy confines offering a break from the spacious, open-air spots where the Green and Red reside.
Multiple Blue Stage artists delivered strong sets, including Frankie Rose, a former Dum Dum Girl whose latest album, Interstellar, is a Synth Pop gem that wouldn't sound out place alongside Beach House; Mikal Cronin, a little ragamuffin of a guy whose latest album, MCII, is a Power Pop keeper; Angel Olsen, whose Americana-flavored songs and swoon-worthy voice and visage compelled much of the audience during her late-afternoon slot; Metz, a Canadian trio coming to Cincy for this year's MidPoint Music Festival in late September, whose terse songs roared even more righteously in a live setting (think Nirvana on fast-forward); Minnesota mainstays Low, who seemed oddly out of place but still effective in the early evening light; and Trash Talk, a Hardcore crew from Sacramento, Calif., whose long-haired frontman delivered the funniest line of the fest after noticing a number of "old people" in the relatively sparse Friday-afternoon crowd: "I like old people. Old people make the world go around. They fucking had us and shit."
Best of all — or at least the biggest surprise — was Brooklyn-based Post Punk quartet Parquet Courts, whose playful, twisty tunes recall everyone from early Pavement to the Minutemen to a far less trashed Guided by Voices. Frontman Andrew Savage's voice is thin but endearing, and his dynamic guitar interplay with fellow frontguy Austin Brown had more than one rapt audience member shaking their ass in the Saturday-afternoon sun.
One got the sense that the Parquet Courts dudes would have been just as happy performing on the street corner just beyond the fence behind them. The fact that they had a much bigger platform to deliver their slanted gospel is just one example of what has made Pitchfork so vital for those looking to experience something rawer and less polished than the acts that dominate other festivals. (Go get Parquet Court's recent full-length, Light Up Gold, as soon as possible.)
Even the Blue Stage's less successful performances were compelling in one way or another: while Julia Holter, Ryan Hemsworth, Andy Stott and Evian Christ — the latter three DJs who essentially stand behind a table — have issues in the area of crowd interaction and sometimes suffered from spotty sound mixes, each was able to convey its mood-altering music in ways that, at the very least, provided sonic respites from the relatively more conventional acts at the bigger stages, whose roar often bled into the Blue's.
On to the two main stages, which drew large, unusually enthusiastic crowds all weekend. Long a champion of adventurous Hip Hop, Pitchfork again featured some intriguing purveyors of the form, most notably Sunday sets by Killer Mike and El-P. The pair released two of the best albums of 2012, and their stellar recent collaboration, dubbed Run the Jewels, dropped as a free download in June. After a sweaty set in which Mike ran through songs from his R.A.P. Music — including strong versions of the title track and the politically cutting "Reagan" — he joined his buddy El-P for a batch of Run the Jewels cuts that mixed verbal dexterity with a healthy dose of levity. Their record, simply titled Run the Jewels, is something of a break from the duo's doomsday aesthetic as solo artists — Jewels is an exuberant, sonically diverse fun-ride that makes light of Hip Hop's silly preoccupation with bling (the two performed with fake gold chains around their necks), among other Pop-culture oddities. (El-P later tweeted, "I'll just go ahead and say @pitchforkfest is the most chill, fun ass festival around right now.)
Run the Jewels was an interesting transition into a set from the ever-vital Yo La Tengo, which mixed choice cuts from its vast back-catalog (including sweet reworked versions of "Autumn Sweater," "Tom Courtney" and "The Hour Grows Late") with several tunes from the New Jersey trio's latest record, Fade. As usual, they didn't interact much with the crowd, though frontman Ira Kaplan, who dropped in several impressive guitar freak-outs, did joke that it was "good to be opening for R. Kelly again."
The fest's most curious social-media-stirring moment occurred Sunday evening as M.I.A., amid a garishly colorful backdrop of spinning wheels and neon lights, unveiled songs from her forthcoming album, Matangi. A sea of cell phones rose to record her entrance; many stayed aloft throughout. It was a departure in audience etiquette — somewhat unexpectedly, much of the festival was free of such ubiquitous use of technological interference.
Clad in a flashy gold top and orange short-shorts, M.I.A. stalked the stage, often with dancers at her side, as bass-heavy Dance-Rap arrangements thundered through the ample soundsystem with almost netherworldly force. The ceaseless sonic assault pretty much drowned out whatever she might have been trying to convey in her new songs — which, based on the spottiness of her previous record and the delayed release of Matangi, might be a good thing. Only when her set was interrupted by technical glitches did she seem spontaneous or even all that engaged. It was a weird, disjointed set, the kind of whiz-bang spectacle that rarely rears its head at Pitchfork.
In contrast, Savages Saturday afternoon appearance was a model of lacerating intensity. The buzzed-about British quartet — whose recent debut Silence Yourself is a satisfying blast of atmospheric Post Punk — was one of the most anticipated acts of fest. They didn't disappoint, delivering blistering versions of "I Am Here," "She Will" and "Fuckers," a new song about not letting the "fuckers get you down."
Jehnny Beth is a captivating frontlady, her no-bullshit stare and frequent high-pitched yelps lifting the music's familiar elements — everyone from Gang of Four and Patti Smith to Siouxsie Sioux and PJ Harvey come immediately to mind — to uncharted heights. More unexpected was the band's tendency to evoke '80s-era U2, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Even more curious was Beth's evocation of Ian Curtis, both in terms of her appearance (lean with close-cropped hair) and in some of her mannerisms (as if the music were transporting her somewhere beyond the stage).
Michael Gira, Swans' longtime ringleader, was impressed,
asking the audience, "How about them lady Savages?" before clapping in
appreciation. Gira's band immediately followed Savages, and it was an
apt pairing, like opposite sides of the same coin. His crew of gifted
Post Punk vets — which includes a hairy multi-instrumentalist named Thor
and a suave German slide-guitar player who looks as though he'd be
right a home in a David Lynch flick — conjured an unholy racket during a
truncated version of "The Seer" and offered an inspired take on
"Oxygen," which featured Gira doing a spooky Indian-like dance
throughout. While it was odd to witness Swans' menacing, ebb-and-flow
soundscapes in broad daylight, the outdoor setting still left those in
attendance vibrating long after the band's final drone leaked from the
That brings us to the three headliners. The festival's mission — it attempts to highlight the most adventurous, zeitgeist-channeling acts on the current landscape — makes choosing an anchor to each day's events a challenging dilemma for Pitchfork organizers. Given the esoteric nature of many such music-makers, there are only so many high-profile acts that fit the typical "headliner" criteria. Past choices have included such Alt-Rock mainstays as Flaming Lips, Spoon and Sonic Youth to more contemporary entries in the canon like TV on the Radio, Animal Collective and LCD Soundsystem.
Pitchfork even had Yoko Ono headline one year, which makes the choice of R. Kelly as Sunday night's festival-closer even odder one on multiple levels. First, there's the fact that Kelly — no doubt one of the most important R&B artists of the era, and a Chicago native to boot — is the most mainstream artist the festival has ever booked. Second, and far more troubling for many, is Kelly's reputation as a serial misogynist who never got the legal reprimand he deserved.
The most vociferous critic has been longtime music writer Jim DeRogatis, who broke the story of Kelly's indiscretions while working at the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002. DeRogatis called Pitchfork's decision to book Kelly and the subsequent excitement from "some (not all) paying customers" as being "fueled by irony."
No doubt there are legitimate questions about how an artist's personal issues should impact the way in which we experience their music, but, for better or worse, those knotty questions were not going to be answered during Kelly's Pitchfork set.
In fact, based on the reaction of those in the massive crowd — probably the festival's largest ever — irony was not as prevalent as DeRogatis wanted to profess. The overwhelming majority of those in attendance, which ranged from fortysomething African-American couples to teenage hipsters, seemed genuinely excited to be taking in Kelly's sextastic jams. The performance itself, meanwhile, was largely standard-issue R&B stagecraft, as Kelly ran through much of his extensive songbook medley-style (38 songs!). Not even a steady drizzle of rain could dampen the mood, as many swayed and sang along straight through to a set-closing version of "I Believe I Can Fly," which was accompanied by the release of dove-shaped balloons.
If Kelly's presentation was fairly straightforward, Bjork's closing set on Friday was anything but. Or so it seemed — unless one was within 75 yards of the stage, it was hard to see what was going on besides fleeting glimpses of Bjork's elaborate headgear, which looked like a porcupine lit up from within. Worse, the two video boards that flanked the Green Stage were mounted too low, rendering them almost useless to those they should intend to aid.
No matter: Bjork's expressive voice was just as fluid and otherworldly as one would expect on slightly reconfigured versions of "Hunter," "Joga" "Pagan Poetry" and "Army of Me." When rain and pending lightening and thunder prompted festival organizers to pull the plug after an hour, Bjork responded with this curio: "It's calm. I don't know. This wouldn't be much in Iceland, I can tell you that much."
It also rained on Belle and Sebastian Saturday night, but not enough to cut short what was the festival's most overt nod to nostalgia. The Scottish crew ran through a career-spanning set that crested early with rousing versions of "I'm a Cuckoo" and "The Stars of Track and Field," which had more than one thirtysomething couple embracing amid all the tuneful sweetness.

EH Buyer's Scorecard: Roku 3 Streaming Player
A closer look at this streaming set-top box, from in-house and around the web.
These days, you can't have a TV that isn't connected to the web. Sure, it's possible — it's just not preferable. There's too much audio and video out there for the taking.
Of course, not everyone can afford to upgrade that HDTV every time a new feature comes along. Thankfully, there are a lot of products that can make that dumb TV a whole lot smarter. As far as media streamers go, Roku is certainly one of the most popular. And that popularity has definitely gone up a notch since the introduction of the Roku 3.
The company's latest box crams a lot into a very familiar, very compact form factor. Besides making more than 750 channels of entertainment available at one's fingertips, the box boasts a faster processor and an "enhanced" remote. That remote is a key difference here. It has motion control for gaming, as well as a built-in headphone jack for late-night and/or personalized viewing.
Other features include 1080p output, 7.1 and 5.1 surround pass-through, WiFi, a microSD slot, and both Ethernet and USB ports.
What the Manufacturer Says
Finally, a sequel that exceeds your wildest expectations. An effortless new interface. Faster and more powerful hardware. Even a remote with headphone jack for those late-night movie sessions. Meet Roku 3 — our most amazing streaming experience ever.

"There are a lot of media streamers on the market. Without a doubt, every one of them has perks and provides a little something that your system didn't previously have. That said, it's hard to beat the options that are being offered under the tiny chassis of the Roku 3. Not all of them are freebies or selections that you'd actually be interested in, but there are just enough — and you could spring for a few too, you cheap-o."
Read the Full Review
"Any failure of the Roku as the one true set-top box similarly fades when you look at its competition, all of which falter in one or more areas; whether DVR, game console, media player or HDMI-connected PC, they suffer from complicated UIs, subscription fees or high upfront prices that the Roku just doesn't have. We just want to lean back and watch, and despite having room for improvement, the Roku 3 still does that cheaper, faster and better than the rest."
Read the Full Review
The Verge
"The good news is that if you're not an Apple user or don't have much need for AirPlay, you only need one box — and that box is the $99.99 Roku 3. It's the best, most versatile, and most usable set-top box on the market, and buying it is a no-brainer. It was for me, anyway — mine's on its way to me as I write this."

What Electronic House Says
While you probably don't need 750 channels of anything, it's certainly nice to have options. Some of those options are a tad bit obscure, but make no mistake; in this area, Roku is really hard to beat. It's also nice that the company just keeps getting better with each release. A faster processor and perks like motion control and the headphone jack make the Roku 3 the company's best box yet. And at $99, it's hard to resist the addition or an upgrade.
Rather than bring our users a single opinion on a product or service, our EH Buyers Scorecard combines what the manufacturer has to say about their product with real ratings and reviews from other websites, along with our own opinions and knowledge of the product to derive a wider lens recommendation that can help you in making a purchase decision.

Workers' Compensation (3950)
The objectives of the course will be to provide a basic understanding of the current state of workers' compensation law; to compare and contrast the underlying assumptions on which various state programs are based; to consider workers' compensation as one part of the entire socio-legal matrix; to evaluate the responsiveness to the needs of injured workers shown by existing state systems; to examine current proposals for reform; and to consider alternative approaches to the distribution of losses due to industrial injuries. Special, but not exclusive, attention will be paid to the Michigan system because of its particular assumptions and well developed litigational structure.

My husband and I are TTC. I was just wondering what type of exercise is safe during pregnancy. I currently run 2-3 times a week. Is it safe to continue running once I become pregnant?
Views: 22
Of course, I have to preface this with - talk to your medical provider, as they and you are the only people that can truly determine what is best for your situation. Having said that, I too was running when I became pregnant. In fact, I ran my first 10k at 3 weeks post-conception, before I even knew I was pregnant. I was training for a half-marathon, increasing my mileage slowly week by week. During my first appointment when my pregnancy was confirmed, I was told that I could continue the same level of physical activity that I had been doing but not to increase it any more. Paula Radcliffe is an Olympic-level marathon runner and she ran a marathon 8 months pregnant. Surely she trained and increased mileage during her pregnancy, but again, she's an Olympic athlete. I think it's all about how long you've been running, how long your runs are, and your level of physical fitness.
Personally, I didn't feel comfortable running after I found out I was pregnant. As much as I read and was told that it's perfectly fine until I start to feel uncomfortable, I would have questioned the decision to continue if anything bad happened. This is our first and I'm a worrier by nature. If we have a second I'd probably keep running though. I did get a jogging stroller and let me tell you, I can't wait to lace up those running shoes again! I really miss the mental clarity and euphoric feeling I get when I finish a run. Good luck to you and your husband!!
Thanks so much for the reply. I really appreciate it. Part of the reason this issue really concerns me is because I have had 2 miscarriages. The first time I got pregnant I continued to run, so naturally I worried that the running may have caused it. The second time I got pregnant I pretty much stayed away from exercise all together and I still miscarried.
I will talk to my doctor once I get pregnant again. Hopefully I can at least do some light jogging :)
I will find out next week whether or not I am pregnant again. ...
Thanks for the response :)

Tested a variety of the top of the line woods and this is hands down the best. I hit this club further than my current driver. It is very adjustable to your swing and is a great help if you have a hook or slice. If you are looking for a good wood than don't bother with anything but this. Good Luck
I bought this club to get farther distance than my hybrid. I need distance not air, and that is exactly what this club did. I really liked the club and I liked the service Global Golf gave me.
great three wood love it
Very nice fairway wood that is appealing to the eye and nice to be able to tune to your game

A representative for Phil Collins has spoken out to distance the star from allegations his nephew has been linked to a headline-grabbing drug-smuggling scandal.
The former Genesis star's relative, Philip Austin Collins, son of his brother Clive Collins, is currently behind bars in Peru after being arrested last year on drug charges.
The 38-year-old was detained after he was allegedly found onboard a yacht packed with cocaine bound for the U.K.
He hit headlines again this week when two young women, from Britain and Ireland, were arrested in the country on drug-smuggling charges and police are investigating allegations they are linked to the gang behind Philip Austin Collins' bust.
A representative for Phil Collins has now spoken out in a bid to distance the star from the story, which has become headline news in the U.K.
The spokesman tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "This has nothing to do with my client so there is no comment to be made."

Love this jacket - but it runs small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
This jacket is really nice & has a beautiful tailored fit that you can't really see in the images provided. Because the jacket runs small I would recommend it for petite women.
I'm 5'5" about 125lbs and I bought a large, it's definitely my new favorite jacket! love the length and the penguin style backdrop, the collar is awesome, and the sleeve length is a little longer which i love, slim fit :)
I love the fit, the length is amazing, i love the penguin tail. I bought a large I'm 5'5" about 125lbs, this jacket is definitely a slim fit, so if you're worried about not being able to layer as much, go up a size. I wear this out casually, and up on the mountains. It's a shell, so if you're trying to stay suuuuper warm, I'd look into something more insulated unless you run warmer than most. (I wear a base layer, and a hoodie most of the time, sometimes two base layers, but not usually).
Back length for a Large
Do you know what the length down the back is?
Awesome women's jacket
Love this, the cut is really great for a female. I originally bought a medium (my normal size) and it fit great and was good for walking around, but when I rode in it, it felt just a tad too small for riding. So I got a large and it's perfect. It's not much bigger than the medium, but gives me a little extra room and length. Also, the medium inside liner/hoodie was pretty small, and now the large fits great. I got the Blacktop color and it does come with the grey zip up liner shown. Without the liner, the jacket is pretty much just a shell, but with the liner the jacket is super warm.
Size?? I am 5'3 and 115lbs what size do...
I am 5'3 and 115lbs what size do you think would fit me? i would like it a bit oversized.
The Foursquare Liberty Jacket has a trim fit but with good length in sleeves and torso. I would recommend a Small for your heigh/weight if you are going for an oversized fit.
about delivery to Russia - it's sad. ok....
about delivery to Russia - it's sad.
ok. i have friends in Canada. Is it acceptable?
Give me an advice about size:
shoulder width 47
chest 90
waist 70
hips 90
plus, i plan to wear back protector under this jacket.
Hey Nastya, thanks for your question. Unfortunately the brand Foursquare can't be shipped outside the US due to vendor trade restrictions. I am sorry for the bad news. Do you have friends/family in the US? If so, you can place the order with your international credit card and have the order shipped to the US address. Then have your friends/family forward the package to you in Russia. According to the measurements you provided you would be a size Large. Depending on how bulky your back protector is, I would size up to XLarge to make sure you have plenty of room for layers and the protector. Hope this helps!
Hello. Does the black version have a gray...
Hello. Does the black version have a gray fleece removable Liner?
Do you have a delivery in Russia?
Hey Nastya, thanks for your question. Yes, the grey fleece is a removable liner that is included with the jacket. Unfortunately we don't deliver to Russia. If you have family/friends in the US, you can use your international credit card to purchase the item and have it shipped the US address. Then your friends/family can forward the package on to you.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - On a night when St. Clairsville honored four great Red Devil athletes of the past, the 2012 edition of the Red Devils put on another offensive show.
Scoring on four plays of 57 yards or better and limiting Buckeye Local to 164 total yards, unbeaten and state-ranked St. Clairsville registered a 48-6 victory in a Buckeye 8 matchup Friday night.
Coach Brett McLean's Devils have been scoring at will with their high-powered attack and Friday night was no different as they notched their eighth victory. On the other side of the field, Coach Phil Pest's Panthers dropped to an even 4-4.
''The big thing for us is that we don't want to get complacent,'' McLean said. ''Our kids have worked hard to get where we are right now and we don't want to take any of this for granted.''
Buckeye's plan was evident on its first series running off 11 plays and a little more than seven minutes, staying on the ground with an attack that featured Devan Pyciak, Austin Marshall and Dakota Flaherty. The Panthers drive moved the ball from their 17 to the 46 before running into a brick wall named St. C defensive tackle Corey Ernest who came up with two big stops that halted the drive.
Taking over on their 16, the Red Devils took little time unleashing their explosive attack.
Speedster Jaylon Brown dodged his way for 13 yards then followed that run with a 7-yarder to the 36. QB Matt Kinnick stayed on the ground tip-toeing his way through the Panthers defense before breaking loose on a 64-yard scoring run with 3:43 on the clock.
Midway through the second quarter, Ernest forced a Buckeye fumble that was covered by Ben Coleman giving possession to the hosts at the Panthers 40. Brown opened with 6-yarder and Kinnick connected with Dan Monteroso for 12 yards to the 22. A 9-yarder by Brown and an 11-yard toss from Kinnick to Monteroso on a fourth down set up Brown's 9-yard run for a score with 7:38 left in the half.
Buckeye scored with 2:06 on the board as Logan Dehnart alertly stripped a Red Devils runner of the ball and rambled 30 yards for the score. The PAT run was stopped short.
Four plays later, St. C got back on the board. With 1:11 left in the half, Kinnick found a crossing Brown, tossed the perfect pass and Brown rambled untouched on the 57-yard scoring play.
St. C's quick-strike offense was exactly that in the second half. On the hosts first play from scrimmage, Brown broke off left tackle, cruised through the secondary and raced 80 yards to the score with 12 seconds gone in the third for a 28-6 lead.
Colby Lindsay recovered a Panthers fumble just minutes later that set the stage for the next Red Devils score. Kinnick found Jerrid Marhefka on a sideline pattern and connected on a 62-yard scoring play with 8:05 on the clock that extended the lead to 35-6.

http://forum.profantasy.com is an excellent place for CC3 tech support questions.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this question (I'm new to this forum), but I have a problem, and you look like experienced guys .
I'm using Campaign Cartographer 3 with Dungeon Designer. I'm also new to it, I've been using it only for a week now.
The problem is that when I zoom in/out my map, random horizontal "wall" lines appear over the map (if I zoom in enough, they dissapear), and the truly annoying part is that when I convert it to an image, those lines are still there. Here is a link to a piece of the map where those lines appear: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6051/dibujoldq.jpg
There is any way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance :p

Christmas shoppers swarmed Highland Baptist Church Saturday.
They were there to check out what items vendors had to offer at Christmas in the Highlands. A total of 70 vendors were there. Buyers and sellers say this is where unique gifts can be found with a good festive environment.
"It started out as a way for people with home-based businesses to get together and to show what they have and what they make. It's just grown and grown every year," describes Sandra Dennis, the Assistant Director of Christmas in the Highlands.
Organizers of Christmas in the Highlands say it creates a Christmas marketplace for those people who operate businesses out of their homes. They say this is their way of kicking off the holiday season. It is an annual event.
