Red Riding: 1974
This entry in the ambitious, dark, and thrilling Red Riding film trilogy comes first chronologically in the three films based on the "Yorkshire Ripper," a serial killer who terrorized northwest England in the 1970s and 1980s. The films' intertwining storylines follow characters touched by the horror wrought by the Ripper.
Each of the three films tells a compelling stand-alone story but gains additional power when the trilogy is seen as a whole (it originally screened as a Channel 4 series in Britain). Red Riding: 1974 centers on a rookie journalist, Eddie Dunford (Andrew Garfield of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus), whose investigation of a series of child abductions and murders leads him to suspect that there's a terrifying connection between the perpetrators and the upper echelons of Yorkshire power. Director Julian Jarrold also crafted the visually rich 2008 version of Brideshead Revisited and the story of the young Jane Austen in 2007's Becoming Jane. Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) and Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) are also in the stellar cast. (105 mins., 35mm)
One of the cinematic events of the year, the Red Riding trilogy offers a mesmerizing neo-noir epic based on actual events and adapted from an electrifying quartet of novels by David Peace. An official selection of the Telluride, New York, Chicago, and AFI Festivals, the trilogy has been acclaimed by critics as a remarkable accomplishment: David Thomson calls it "better than The Godfather." According to the Hollywood Reporter, the films are "Riveting. A gripping display of modern noir at its finest." Frieze notes that the trilogy is "Extraordinary. The most striking dramas of this decade.… Exceeds practically anything British cinema has achieved in the past 30 years."
Don't miss the other two films in the Red Riding trilogy, which are also playing this week only at Gateway Film Center. href="http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=4759">Red Riding: 1980 is directed by Oscar-winner James Marsh (Man on Wire) and features Paddy Considine (In America) and David Morrisey (the BBC series State of Play).
Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie, Shopgirl) directed href="http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=4761">Red Riding: 1983, which stars Peter Mullan (Trainspotting), playing a clergyman who has appeared throughout the trilogy, along with David Morrisey.

I'm trying to connect to mobile internet using an NAS box. it's flashed to use conventional Linux instead of busybox. It doesn't have any video interface and has very little ram. I'm using this because it's less noisy/consumes less power.
nm-applet is pain because it doesn't have ncurses gui. Can I not get Network Manager to automatically connect to mobile broaband without any manual intervention via the applet? It can and does automatically connect my Ethernet connection so why not mobile broadband?
I know in the applet you can tick automatically connect but the connection doesn't stay on once applet has closed down. Plus am the only one that knows Linux. It's a pain to be constantly harassed.

You chose the best firearm for protection
Now choose the best handbag for your firearm accessory
A custom fit purse from Carriage House Specialties, designed for you
Designed by a woman for women!
More than a year of research, advise from law enforcement personnel, and CCW class instructors combined with my personal designs for a daily functioning purse has resulted in the beautiful purses you see here. They are light when empty yet strong enough to last for years.
If you are feeling uncomfortable in a situation, just place your hand inside on the butt of your handgun. It is as natural in appearance as reaching for your keys. You always know where your handgun is due to the custom made holster that is sewn into the purses in Trinity. This keeps the position correct and exactly where you can find it naturally while the trigger is completely protected.
If needed you can draw and aim naturally from your closed purse! Some companies have mentioned shooting through the purse when needed. The possibility of collateral damage is great with this idea.
The thick straps of our purses deter slashing, but we do add a braided steel wire for added security to the women handbags in Trinity. This is soft and flexible while difficult to cut at the same time.
Our functional and fashionable purse does not look like other CCW purses. This is why the choice of professionals is a concealed carry purse from Carriage House Specialties in Trinity, North Carolina..
Women, we are responsible and smart. Have you ever seen a man get keys and unlock a lock and open a zipper before he can draw his handgun from his holster? When you pick up a handgun you are responsible for it. You don't walk around with a lock and chain on it!

We compiled a large database of 58 059 point locality records for 70 species and 434 subspecies of heliconiine butterflies and used these data to test evolutionary hypotheses for their diversification. To study geographical patterns of diversity and contact zones, we mapped: (1) species richness; (2) mean molecular phylogenetic terminal branch length; (3) subspecies richness and the proportion of specimens that were subspecific hybrids, and (4) museum sampling effort. Heliconiine species richness is high throughout the Amazon region and peaks near the equator in the foothills and middle elevations of the eastern Andes. Mean phylogenetic terminal branch length is lowest in the eastern Andes and tends to be low in species-rich areas. By contrast, areas of high subspecies richness, where subspecies overlap in range and/or hybridize, are concentrated along the course of the Amazon River, with the eastern Andes slopes and foothills relatively depauperate in terms of local intraspecific phenotypic diversity. Spatial gradients in heliconiine species richness in the Neotropics are consistent with the hypothesis that species richness gradients are driven at least in part by variation in speciation and/or extinction rates, resulting in observed gradients in mean phylogenetic branch length, rather than via evolutionary age or niche conservatism alone. The data obtained in the present study, coupled with individual case studies of recently evolved Heliconius species, suggest that the radiation of heliconiine butterflies occurred predominantly on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, as well as in the upper/middle Amazon basin. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 105, 479–497.

"exceptional service"- sean0406tx
I had to drive out from out of town to pick up the vehicle. Eric was very helpful on my arrival, I was in and out in 90 minutes, which most of it was test drive and he was helping me understand the features of the vehicle. It was an exceptional experience, I would recommend him to anyone anyday.Read More

"Quick, smooth, buyer-friendly experience."- waterfromdust
I purchased a pre-owned vehicle from Park Place Porsche yesterday. This was not a high-end vehicle, but I couldn't tell that from how I was treated throughout the entire transaction. Eric and made me feel totally comfortable and worked very quickly within my budget to get me the best deal and on the road. I'm totally impressed with the shopping experience and will definitely recommend them to others as well as come back to Park Place Porsche when I'm looking for my next vehicle.Read More

"Most pleasant purchasing experience..."- Dr Soul
Our recent experience with Eric at Park Place Porsche was nothing short of perfection. Eric reflects a total professionalism in salesmanship and an enthusiastic attitude in facilitating a smooth purchasing process of 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. Making the trip from out of the state, we were excited but exhausted by the time we arrived Dallas. The duration of time spent at the dealership was relatively brief, resulting from Eric's advance preparation and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend Eric for anyone who is searching for an amazing experience in owning a Porsche. - Dr. SoulRead More

"Best Car Buying Experiences. Period!"- neile
This was the first time I've ever purchased a car without seeing the car first. I live in PA and Park Place is located in Dallas. I had the pleasure of working with Eric on the purchase of a 2011 BMW 335 Convertible. Eric was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable. He responded to each of my many requests very quickly and ensured that comfort level in purchasing the car was high. He provided all the details about the car including a car fax report, detailed photos and even close up pictures of any minor defects (which were very limited). He arranged the documentation and transportation of the vehicle and kept me informed of all status updates through the time the car was delivered to me. Eric even provided brand new BMW floor mats even after we settled on the price because he thought the existing mats looked worn. I've leased / purchased over 20 high end cars throughout my life and this experience was one of the best, even thousands of miles away. I highly recommend Eric and Park Place.Read More

"Almost too easy! "- Mattcox4240
I purchased a vehicle while living in a different state. Eric had outstanding communication through the entire process. He arranged transportation for me from the airport.

"Outstanding customer service!"- porsche fanatic
Eric makes the ownership experience exceptional, from pre, during to post sale. He is highly knowledgeable about the Porsche line, from the Cayman to the 918. He can relate to everyone from the first time buyer to the connoisseur. He is a professional with a passion for the industry. He takes the time to match the right car and equipment to your needs, which is especially important in this complex model, equipment and option ecosystem. This was my 5th Porsche and 25th car purchase overall, and was far and away the best experience. Eric was recommended to me by a friend, and I would recommend him to anyone looking at the brand. I'm looking forward to my next one!Read More

The charity helping women and children in the community affected by domestic violence used a novel and poignant method of appealing to supporters at its annual fundraising lunch, held at Lord's in St John's Wood.
An Orthodox Jewish man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two of his step-daughters, aged nine and 12-years-old.
A court heard how the man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, would crawl into the girls' beds on Shabbat and touch them inappropriately. He also assaulted them while they were sitting on his lap, sometimes while their mother was in a nearby room.
Police have confirmed that Todros Grynhaus, a suspected sex offender from Salford, has been arrested by Israeli police after fleeing the UK.
Greater Manchester Police, who had been seeking the 48-year-old in the UK and abroad since he went missing two weeks ago, confirmed that the man they believe to be Mr Grynhaus had been arrested in Jerusalem, where he was living under a false identity.
A suspected Jewish sex offender from Salford is being tracked by police.
Salford-based Todros Grynhaus, 48, had pleaded not guilty to seven counts of sexual or indecent assault against children in December and was expected to be tried at Manchester Crown Court later this year.
Rabbi Chaim Halpern and three other Orthodox men in north-west London who were arrested last week have been bailed by police to return later this month.
Rabbi Halpern, who heads the Divrei Chaim Synagogue in Golders Green, was questioned in connection with investigations into alleged sexual assault and perverting the course of justice.
Britain's Charedi establishment, already buffeted by allegations of sexual abuse against women by one of its senior rabbis, is about to become embroiled in fresh controversy.
Channel 4's Dispatches strand is to broadcast an investigation next Wednesday night into claims of the sexual abuse of children within the strictly Orthodox communities of the UK.
Jewish victims of child sex abuse have spoken out about serious sexual crime being perpetrated within the UK's strictly Orthodox Jewish community, writes Jonathan Kalmus.
Two victims — who are not involved in the Dispatches film — have spoken exclusively to the JC.
A Satmar counsellor found guilty of 59 counts of sexual abuse of a young girl has been sentenced to 103 years in jail.
Nechemya Weberman, 54, of Brooklyn, New York was found guilty of abusing a girl for three years, which began when she was 12 years old. The girl had been sent to him for religious counselling because she was deemed "rebellious" by her Orthodox school.
Britain is being urged to look to Israel for lessons in how to combat human trafficking and rehabilitate victims.
Labour MP Frank Field and former Conservative MP Anthony Steen are among those praising Israel for making trafficking "a priority issue", prosecuting perpetrators to such an extent that shelters that were once full of trafficked Eastern European women are now empty of them.
A Satmar counsellor has been found guilty of 59 counts of sexual abuse of a young girl in a case that has caused outrage in his Brooklyn community.
Nechemya Weberman, 54, was found guilty on Monday of a three-year-long abuse of a girl, which began when she was 12 years old. The girl had been sent to him for religious counselling because she was deemed "rebellious" by her Orthodox school.

Sure, Kanye West rented out a stadium to propose to Kim Kardashian. Prince William asked Kate to be his wife while they were on a 10-day African safari. And then there's that guy from Utah who organized a flash mob inside a Home Depot to pop the question to his boyfriend.
But there are exactly 16 reasons why the following marriage proposal is even better than any of the above romantic gestures.
A man from London named Ed wanted to propose to his longtime love, Alex, in New York City's Central Park with the help of a few pugs. He contacted the New York City Pug Meetup Group, who proved that yes, ladies and gents, dreams really do come true.
The group supplied 16 pugs, who were accessorized with heart-shaped balloons for Oct. 27's occasion, reports the Barkpost.
The pugs met the couple in the middle of the park's Bow Bridge, where Ed dropped to one knee to pop the question. In a video of the proposal (watch below), Ed tells Alex, "I don't know a single person who doesn't think you're absolutely fantastic … I love you so much."

What I know: src.rpm usually contain some kind of tar or compressed source code for the app/library/package Sometimes people recommend you compile from source if the package does not work
What I don't know: Why would you recompile from source? What do I need to compile from source? gcc? xlc?
What I would like to know: Hypothetically, if you have a src rpm could you compile that rpm to run on Fedora and then take the same src rpm to AIX and compile it to run on AIX?

Nordstrom makes the "nice" list for its website that offers free shipping and free returns on all orders.
Kohl's gets a thumbs up for its "No Questions Asked - Hassle Free" returns policy both online and in stores. It applies to all purchases, and there are no time restrictions.
Other companies' return policies could leave you with a big lump of coal.
That's why Tiger Direct is on the "naughty" list. Senior editor Tod Marks says Tiger Direct has a laundry list of conditions you have to meet to return something or you pay a penalty.
"They can hit you with a restocking fee of up to 25 percent. That's more than most other companies charge."
Consumer Reports says Home Depot has a "nice" policy when it comes to major appliances like refrigerators and stoves. It will haul away your old appliance after setting up your new one eliminating the hassle of your finding someone to take it away.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- As the White House tries to deal with the technical glitches that have plagued the new health care law, Republicans are ramping up their criticism of it.
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell says the law "costs too much and it's not working the way they promised." And a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) says of today's White House event, "A speech doesn't solve the problem."
People who are having trouble enrolling online for health insurance under the health care law are being encouraged to do it the old-fashioned way -- by phone. An increase in the staffing at call centers is one of the steps President Barack Obama is announcing today as he addresses the widespread problems with the rollout of the health care law.
Health officials say technology experts from inside and outside of government are being brought in to help diagnose the problems.

Brandon Weeden officially named Cleveland Browns starting quarterback
BEREA, Ohio - Brandon Weeden will be the Browns starting quarterback when the team opens the season on Sept. 9 against the Miami Dolphins
Head coach Rob Chudzinski said he told the second-year quarterback about his decision on Monday.
"Brandon has earned the job. He's gained my complete trust, his teammates complete trust and the organization's complete trust," Chudzinski said.
Chudzinski said Jason Campbell will be the No. 2 quarterback and Brian Hoyer third on the depth chart.
In other news, running back Dion Lewis underwent surgery Tuesday, according to Chudzinski, and could land on the season-ending injured reserve.

"Passing through Coonabarabran" Coonabarabran by wise23girl
Coonabarabran Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 134 photos
But Coonabarabran, a small country town known fondly as "Coona", is much more than a place to pass through ...in fact it is almost criminal to do so...It is known as the Astronomy Capital of Australia...I love all these ways cities and towns chose to describe themselves
To know why this name was chosen you need to visit Siding Spring Observatory. And look upwards...the skies are crystal clear and the area is perfect for stargazing. And while in town do visit "Skywatch".
Bush fires threaten the word famous observatory 2013.
Coonabarabran is the closest town to the Warrumbungle so please follow this link to iandsmith's pages and read his amazing write up......
I just love the name of the shire ..Warrumbungle... it has a special sound to it and somehow you remember the name.
From Buderim, Queensland to Parkes, NSW for the annual Elvis Festival........1000k.
Are we half way yet? Oh yes we are more than half way
So on our way to Coona we drove through Gunnedah and maybe you waited to fill up your petrol tank at Mullaley ((I have a review for this little stop...just a diversion if you care to look)
Well after Coona we join the Newell Highway outside Gilgandra and continue to the Town of the Crossroads...Dubbo.
- Pros:Good Place to stop on your journey
- In a nutshell:Warrumbungle Scenery

How to update your bathroom
The bathroom is the one room in the house that treads a fine line between practical and luxurious. It has to store all the toiletries of an entire household, deal with a flurry of activity during peak times of use, and still be the place where you can forget all your troubles in a relaxing bath or shower. It's a difficult balance, and occasionally bathrooms can begin to look a bit tired and require a bit of TLC.
Luckily, you don't need a massive overhaul in order to refresh your bathroom. A few quick and easy updates can make all the difference – without breaking the bank.
We've collected our top tips that are sure to breathe some life into any bathroom. They can be completed within a couple of hours and you don't have to have a load of tools, or DIY know-how. What are you waiting for?
Buying guides
Buyer's guide to showers
A powerful, piping hot shower is one of the things we rely upon most in our bathrooms. Whether it's getting you energised in the morning, reinvigorating you after your daily exercise, or washing away the stresses and strains of the day, your shower needs to be up to the task. And let's not forget about washing your children's hair, or hosing down a filthy dog! But, if you don't make the right choices and buy the incorrect shower for your house, you could end up with a lukewarm trickle that'll be more infuriating than helpful.
We're here to make sure you find the right one for you. By taking you through all the elements you need to think about - from understanding your home water's pressure through to innovative shower features - we'll help you work out what's best for you and your family.
Before you begin
First off, you'll need to know about your home's boiler and water pressure in order to pick the right shower for you. Water pressure is the force of water in a pipe and it determines the flow of water running through it. The type of boiler or water system you have in your home dictates which showers, and taps, you can choose – as both systems have limitations as to what will work with them due to the water pressure.
Our helpful guide will help you to understand your water pressure system, and recommend the ideal type of shower based on this.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
You said something about it being a bit Western, you should build on that, like a modern showdown in the middle of downtown somewhere. Make the sounds come together to make something big, like the end should show the winner of the showdown. Just throwing it out there.
I was thinking more like a shootout in a bar in Mexico, but ok!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Notbad it was interesting.
Has lots of differrant unique sounds in there, and i liked that, maybe make it abit longer next time, anyways nice work.
Nice loop
Yes, it will be longer next time.
Thanks for the review.

Course description
This is a course on linguistic analysis of fiction involving a close reading of twentieth century short stories. Particular attention will be paid to detailing the construction of texts within the bounds of core linguistics such as syntax and semantics as well as within pragmatic and social dimensions. The ultimate goal is to discover how literary criticism may ground its interpretations on objective features of the language of texts.
Course objectives
By the end of the course you should be able to bring precise analytical methods to the understanding of texts, not only short stories but also a wide variety of genres. You should be able to delve beneath the surface of a text (what is said) to find and construct the cognitive, social, and linguistic meanings--the consequential assumptions, perspectives and attitudes--embedded in them.
Course Requirements
• Weekly assignments, some written, some oral
• Three short (2-3 page) papers and a 6 to 8-page term paper analyzing some aspect of the language of a short story of your choice
• Leading discussion of short stories (Each of you will lead at least one class discussion of short stories. Make sure you include the following:
Some background information of the story and the author
Important elements in the story
The significance of the story
How language works in the story and why it works in such a way
• Class participation (This is a graduate couse, so your participation in class discussion is required. We will begin each class with your questions, insights, or other reflections on the reading for the week. Please be prepared.)
Grading Policy Will use letter grades for all assignments, oral and written.

I'm setting up a wordpress blog for a guy who does motorcycle repairs. He is posting pictures of projects he is working on in a category called "Projects".
I would like to display a list of "Recent Projects" on the main blog page at the top before the first post.
This would not be unlike "recent news" and things other sites use. I have been searching for a few days for a plugin that can do this, but to now avail.
Does anyone out there use a plugin like this or have any recommendations how I can accomplish this? I'm a fairly capable programmer so I'm not against doing something manual, but I feel confident that I'm not the first person to need this. I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel!
Much love,

Chippenham railway station is a main line railway station, serving the market town of Chippenham in Wiltshire, South West England. The station is owned by Network Rail and is managed by Great Western Railway (who are the only company to operate at the station).
The station lies on the Great Western Main Line and connects to the Wessex Main Line via Melksham. It is situated between Swindon and Bath Spa, and is served by Great Western Railway main line InterCity services between Bristol Temple Meads, and London Paddington, and a smaller Great Western Railway local service that runs between Swindon and Southampton Central, via Chippenham and Melksham over the northern end of the former Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway.
Only two platforms at the station are now in use; the platform by the main entrance is now disused.
The main line of the Great Western Railway (GWR) was authorised in 1835, and opened in stages.[1] The section between Hay Lane and Chippenham opened on 31 May 1841.[2][3] The final section of the GWR main line, between Chippenham and Bath, opened on 30 June 1841.[4]
Chippenham was soon served by other lines. The Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway (WS&WR) was authorised in 1845 and the first section opened on 5 September 1848; this ran from Thingley Junction, west of Chippenham, to Westbury, and the WS&WR was absorbed by the GWR in 1851.[5][6] The Calne Railway was authorised in 1860 and opened on 3 November 1863; this company remained independent for some years, until absorbed by the GWR in 1892.[7][8]
In 1858 the station was expanded and included a goods shed and an engine shed.[9] A railway connection was laid to Chippenham Gas Works in 1906. This connection closed in 1932. Chippenham engine shed closed in March 1964 and services on the Calne branch stopped in 1965. Chippenham East and West signal boxes closed on 21 August 1966. As from 1 February 1976 the original down platform was taken out of use and services heading west used the south side of the island platform.[10]
It was also the junction for a GWR branch line to Calne from 1863 until its closure as part of the 'Beeching Axe in 1965.
The original station building at Chippenham was built to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's design and opened in 1841.[11] With the subsequent opening of new lines to Salisbury and Weymouth, the station was not adequate to meet the increased demand and was redesigned by J H Bertram in 1856 to 1858; it is a grade II listed building, constructed in Bath Stone Ashlar with a bay window at one end and a wing at the other making a long, low composition.[12]
In the station yard, there is another grade II listed building partly in random stone but mainly weather-boarded on a timber frame with a pitched slate roof. It is an early weighbridge house and coal merchant's office dating to around 1840.
Immediately west of the station lies the grade II listed Chippenham viaduct designed by Brunel in 1841. The first arch, over New Road, appears to have been modelled on the Roman triumphal arch. It has a 26-foot (8 m) span and is flanked by two smaller pedestrian arches of 10 feet (3 m). All is surmounted by a heavy cornice and parapet. The north side is constructed from Bath Stone Ashlar with some brick patching while the south side is in blue brick following widening in the early 1900s.[13]
Platform 1 is used for westbound Great Western Main Line services towards Bristol Temple Meads, The West Country, South Wales and is also used for Wessex Main Line services towards Southampton Central. Platform 2 is used for eastbound services towards London Paddington and Cheltenham Spa. On the disused platform there is cycle storage, seating area and café.[10]
In 2004, the station was given an award to recognise their safety and security. The award, which lasted for 2 years, was given to the station as a passenger survey concluded that 98% of the passenger traffic through Chippenham said they felt 'safe' or 'very safe' whilst on the premises. The station is monitored by 24-hour CCTV and is alarmed.[14]
The station has frequent eastbound services to London Paddington; and westbound services to Bristol, Bath, Devon, Taunton, and South Wales. Currently, these trains run every half an hour in both directions and extensions to stations further afield westbound are made regularly.[15]
The service on the branch to Melksham, Trowbridge and Westbury has been significantly improved from the December 2013 timetable change, with the former twice-daily (once per day on Sundays) frequency increased to every two hours each way on weekdays and five each way on Sundays.[16] Two southbound trains continue through to Southampton Central (on weekdays only), whilst two in the other direction run through to Cheltenham Spa.
Chippenham station connects to the Wessex Main Line via Melksham.
There was a proposal in 2010 from Go-Op to run a service from Birmingham Moor Street, via Oxford and Swindon, to Yeovil, which would call at Chippenham. This would avoid passengers having to change at Didcot or Reading. The company planned to start running services by December 2011,[17] but no firm announcements have been made since.

There are plans to electrify the Great Western Main Line by 2016, which would introduce faster and larger capacity 'Super Express' trains on the line, resulting in reduced journey times.[18]
Chippenham is one of many stations that will be improved as part of the 'Access for All scheme' (AfA). When fully completed in 2016, it will assist disabled and less abled passengers to catch services more easily, with the installation of lifts, new accessible foot bridges and tactile paving.[19]
Engineering works[edit]
Immediately to the north of the station itself is an engineering works, originally founded to support the Great Western Railway, and now supplying equipment to the worldwide rail industry. It was founded in 1842 by Rowland Brotherhood and, as of 2008, is occupied by Invensys Rail Systems and its UK manufacturing subsidiary, Westinghouse Rail Systems. For most of its life, it manufactured railway air braking systems and railway signalling.[20]

Earlier today, Auburn and Clemson announced a home-and-home football series that kicks off with a Sept. 3, 2016 match-up on the plains.
The ACC-SEC contest adds to an impressive list of non-conference college football games that are currently scheduled for the opening Saturday of the 2016 season.
If this list of games doesn't see any casualties, it will be a monster day of college football! Go ahead and request the day off if you work weekends, and don't plan Fall weddings.
Clemson at Auburn
Clemson opens the 2016 season at Auburn and then the series moves to Death Valley in 2017. The two schools have played four contests since 2007, two in Atlanta and two on campus.
Alabama vs. USC
Alabama and USC will square off in the Cowboys Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Alabama and USC haven't met in the regular season since a 1978 contest in Birmingham. The Crimson Tide lead the overall series 5-2 and won the last meeting 24-3 in the 1985 Aloha Bowl.
LSU vs. Wisconsin
While it would be nice to have seen LSU and Wisconsin play home-and-home, we get the next best thing — a college football game at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Lambeau also seems like the perfect spot for the first ESPN College GameDay of the season. The two schools also open the 2014 season at NRG Stadium in Houston.
UCLA at Texas A&M
Texas A&M has been criticized for their lackluster non-conference scheduling since moving to the SEC, but they did have to scramble to add some late opponents. The Aggies stepped up to the plate by scheduling a series with UCLA and a 2015 opener vs. Arizona State.
Notre Dame at Texas
Notre Dame and Texas are slated to meet in Austin in 2016 after kicking off a four-game series in 2015 in South Bend. The two schools are also supposed to play in 2019 and 2020, but the two games may be moved.
Arizona vs. BYU
The third opening-day neutral-site game features Arizona and BYU squaring off at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. The three-game series will also see the two schools meet in 2018 in Tucson and 2020 in Provo.
Houston vs. Oklahoma
Although not officially announced, two sources confirmed that the Houston Cougars will take on the Oklahoma Sooners in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Sooners and Cougars have met twice previously, and neither contest was close. OU trounced UH 40-14 in the 1981 Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX and 63-13 in 2004 in Norman.
Other Sept. 3, 2016 Games
Fresno State at Nebraska
Rutgers at Washington
Louisiana Tech at Arkansas (at Little Rock)
Additional Kickoff Games TBA
Nashville is planning a kickoff classic game featuring an SEC team beginning in 2016.
In addition, the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game for the 2016 season has not yet been revealed. It usually features an ACC-SEC match-up, and it was rumored last year that the 2016 game would be Georgia-Florida State.
Florida State has also been rumored to be in talks to play in a neutral-site game in Orlando in 2016.
Mostly thanks to the 9th P5 game requirement in the SEC. Fans definitely win.
this could be a great in college football & who knows if any blockbuster game will happen in Atlanta because that annual kickoff game has yet to announce one
what about Florida St. vs. Presbyterian?
FSU will be playing GA or South Carolina in the Chick Fil – A if you look at who is available without neutral games or september P5 OOC games
Wow! These neutral site games have really taken over & now with the playoffs we will all see better OOC games from all Conferences.
Unfortunately. Teams should schedule home and home b/c these games are a rip off for fans who are losing a quality OOC and have to travel and pay for tickets not included in their season packages that home and home would be.
Not every fan gets a season package or can even afford it these days. Some fans like to go to other states & see different stadiums. It is good for travel, the players, recruiting & is something different & brings excitement to the games. We all have different opinions on this subject.
Chick – Fil -A kick off if they are going with ACC/SEC the only top teams in the conferences that aren't playing on 9/3 or don't already have a neutral site that year and/or P5 OOC in september already are FSU and Miami in the ACC and GA and SC in the SEC. So the FSU/GA talks looks like will be what happens.
The Nashville kick off site game could get SC they can't even go home state with TN b/c they already have a neutral site game 9/10/16. Other top conf teams available or could cancel low level games are OK State, Oregon(unlikely b/c they would have 12 P5 opponents), Miami, Mich St, Michigan(unlikely they would then have 11 P5 opponents plus UCF and would have to cancel Hawaii….I would bet on SC(SEC) and Ok State(B12) or Miami(Miami needs a game and has 2 low level mid majors and their P5 games is ND which is in october
SEC teams sure are all over these neutral site games: Atlanta every year, Dallas most years, Houston fairly often, and soon to be Nashville. Charlotte will host Tennessee against WVU in the next few years, and the Vols will be in Bristol vs. VT soon, too.
I wonder if Midwest cities like Chicago, Detroit, Indy, or Minneapolis will try to host these games for Big Ten vs. whomever. It would be nice, though, if more of these were home-and-homes.
Most SEC teams wan to avoid Home and home series, Bama being the prime example, Florida plays FSU b/c they have to. They tried to get out of it but the legislature made it mandatory when UF was talking about backing away from yearly some years back.
Most likely the SEC team for the Nashville kickoff game will be either Ole Miss (still needs a P5 for 2016) or Mizzou (has no currently scheduled OOC games for 2016). Mississippi State still needs a P5 as well but has South Alabama scheduled for the 2016 opener
Don't forget Houston and OU on the same day. Very possible that both of them could be ranked as well.
Georgia is seto play North Carolina on Sept 3rd 2016. Not as big a deal as Flordia State but it is still a good matchup.
How awesome would it be if GA/Miami got scheduled in the CFA Kickoff Classic?!! Old coach's team vs New coach's team?? They could sell this for days!!

Skip to comments.SPRINGSTEEN FANS DISAPPOINTED AS SCALPERS FREEZE OUT ONLINE TICKET BUYERS
Posted on 01/28/2012 9:27:38 PM PST by InvisibleChurch
Didnt score tickets to Bruce Springsteens upcoming Wrecking Ball tour when they went on sale yesterday? You werent alone. Thousands of Boss fans logging onto Ticketmasters website were met with frozen computer screens Friday (Jan. 27) when attempting to purchase tickets a glitch Ticketmaster has blamed on ticket scalpers using high-tech computer programs that generated traffic that was exponentially larger than normal.
Big acts mean big fan interest. Unfortunately this also means that scalpers are out in full force, Ticketmaster said in a statement. Scalpers were using sophisticated computer programs to assault our systems and secure tickets with the sole intention of selling them in the resale market.
Further evidence of the scalper scam comes from the fact that plenty of choice seats were immediately available through Stubhub and other secondary ticketing sites. Stubhub prices for his April 9 gig at New Yorks Madison Square Garden currently start at $143 for nosebleed balcony seats and top out at $8,719 for prime spots on the first level a bit more expensive than the $98 face value they originally went for.
It was a similar situation that inspired U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) to introduce the so-called BOSS Act two years ago, and yesterday he renewed his call for the bill. The BOSS Act would aim to create transparency in the way Ticketmaster and other agencies sold tickets in attempt to avoid similar ordeals in the future.
I would think Comrade Springsteen would placate the masses with tickets that all could afford.......LOL.
One of the biggest hypocrites going....
Screw 'im. Never liked his music that much, and his Jersey attitude even less
Bruce should sell all the tickets at the door the day of the concert.
Profits for me, but not for thee.
wheres the LIKE button?
The Bruce and The Donald, are they related?
...or better yet perform for free. He's made enough money by now. Charging at this point is just greed.
There was probably a presale too, where the good seats were sold.
Rock star Bruce Springsteen endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for president Wednesday, saying he speaks to the America Ive envisioned in my music for the past 35 years.
He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next president, the letter said.
The classic example of overhype. Couldn't sing, couldn't play, liberal music press loved him to death . . . about the best thing about him is that when his fans yell his name at concerts, it sounds like they're booing him.
I've gone to two Bruce concerts. The first was pretty good. The second had no floor seating...just standing room tickets. The floor was PACKED! Good thing I was broke and had to buy upper level seats.
New concert? Clarence died. Why bother?
I know I will upset NJ FReepers here by saying this, but Springsteen blows. Other than 10th Avenue Freeze Out, his music sucks.
I saw Bruce before he became 'The'. Solo act. Very good and promising.
I paid $4.50 to see The Beatles live in 1966, but I sure wouldn't pay over $8,000 to see anyone, I don't care if was the queen of Russia.
You saw the Beatles in 1966? Wow, I wouldn't have washed my hand since then if I had!
Oh, and by the way, the Russians didn't have a queen, they had a Tsarina!
That said, Springsteen as a person is a sanctimonious a-hole who is a hypocrite of the highest order. He's about as "working class" as Michael Moore and for all his leftist rhetoric, he gouges his fans with some of the highest ticket prices in the music industry.
Still, his body of work stands the test of time. I still get shivers up my spine hearing songs like "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", "Atlantic City" and "Tunnel of Love". Can't deny his musical talent. But I'll be damned if I ever attend one of his overpriced shows, where between songs, he'll bash the United States, conservatism and capitalism - without which, he'd be a nobody.
I hate the guys politics (like I hate most of them) but he has done some good work. His movie sound tracks are awesome.
You are lucky, wish I could have seen him in his beginnings.
"Scalpers Freeze Out Online Ticket Buyers"
Hey, do you suppose it happened on...10th Avenue?
(yes, I know. That was awful. And not all that funny. But you knew *someone* was going to say it eventually...)
I saw them as well at that crazy price. Well, I may have paid $6. You really couldn't even hear the music. Large screaming crowd and tiny sound equipment. I think the speakers I have now for my stereo are bigger, lol.
Ticket prices for concerts are for the most part kinda crazy. These aging artists need to keep in mind that their fan base is aging and can't pay the price...or want to deal with the crowd.
The last concert I went to was the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over Tour". The ticket price was obscene ($200), but hey it was the last time to hear them. And Hell Keeps Freezing Over with them. I hate to be suckered.
A hack is hacked.
This wouldn't be a problem if Ticketmaster just charged market prices to begin with. The scalpers are just doing a service that Ticketmaster won't do - finding the true market price and distributing tickets to those willing to spend the resources on them.
I'll drink to that.
I wouldn't pay $20 to see Springsteen.
Nils Lofgren is a different matter.
Of course Springsteen stole everything he ever knew form Nils Lofgren.
Ohhhh nooooo! A liberal just got hosed by a bunch of the "99 Percenter" mentality!
You don't have to. It looks like I am drinking for two tonight.
With Danny and Clarence now dead, what's the point?
When the change was made uptown
And the big man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
Im gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When scooter and the big man bust this city in half
With a tenth avenue freeze-out, tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out...
Ticketmaster has done this in the past. About 15 years ago, I got through their phone line to buy 4 tickets to see The Stones. The price was $125 each. I figured I would keep two and sell the other two for $250 each. Then Ticketmaster announced a $117 per ticket service fee. I passed.
I've never liked Springsteen. His music was more or less bubble gum in an age when some of the greatest rock and roll bands existed, and from people who actually knew how to play their instruments.
The only thing he has going for him is that he is decent songwriter. Other than that, he can't sing outside of his own genre, he certainly can't play his guitar, and he is absolutely nothing without a band behind him.
Bruce should sell all the tickets at the door the day of the concert.
Concur. That's the ticket. Sorry.
Rock star Bruce Springsteen endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for president
If Obama gets his way. Bruce will be the most useful idiot going.
And over-rated. A couple of good songs and the rest sounds like they were written by a angst-ridden 15 year old boy.
I've long thought Springsteen was the most overrated guy in rock and roll. It's not that he's bad, I'm just at a loss to see how he's so fantastically great. I don't get that at all.
Where can one purchase this urine and vomit bag?
I can see people liking his music, and I don't disagree when they say he's a good songwriter, or at least he used to be, but this notion that he's a genius, or even anything close to it, is the biggest pile of excrement I've ever heard.
Frank Zappa, whether you liked him or not, was probably the closest thing to a true musical genius in that time and for that kind of music.
(I have a small bladder)
Bob Seger was/is the real Bruce Springsteen. Seger sings better, writes better, and his music has more emotional depth. Springsteen is an east coast leftist wo the fawed over.
I totally agree.
Can't stand the Commie Springsteen and can't comprehend why people will pay such outrageous sums to see pukes like him.
The ONLY time I've enjoyed Springsteen was his performance in the dueling guitars on the Roy Orbison's "A Black and White Night", done in the late '80s. I watched the video tape of that program so many times! The ladies doing backup were also fantastic, including Bonnie Raitt my favorite (her album/tape "Home Plate" is great).
Not always true. Many time presale seats are inferior to regular sale seats. They get you to pay more for less.
If the idiots attending the concerts would boycott a few that the scalpers bought out, leaving the scalpers in the bag, it might start to solve the problem. The problem isn't the scalpers, it's the folks that are willing to be scalped.
Remember this scumbag cheated on his wife and kids also, TWICE. not to mention he is an avowed communist from way back, He should be held up as a poster boy for Not Becoming a Heroin Junkie for the way it has affected his thought process. Everytime you purchase a ticket or song or anything else from the vast majority of the Entertainment industry, you are DIRECTLY SUPPORTING TERRORISTS AND COMMUNISTS WORLDWIDE.
You will recall that "Anonymous" is regularly hacking sites to draw attention to favored issues, and dirsrupting highly-protected sites. Where there is computer security, it can ALWAYS be penetrated when outside input is provided, no matter how "secure" it is supposed to be.
I believe that sentences for those caught disrupting lives of thousands, including ALL FORMS OF VOTE FRAUD, should carry minimum penalties of a Felony Conviction, and MANDATORY prison time.
There's no risk in disruption, even of the Electoral process through Fraud, when sentences are regularly bargained down to a couple thousand dollar fines, and/or, "probation".
Could you provide any links to sources to back that up? I would like to read about the specifics. It would make for an interesting conversation when I see my mother in law because she worships the guy. Thanks.
To do a pun based on a BB King song title, they're
Paying The Cost To SEE The Boss.
(orig." Paying the Cost to be the boss")
What a crock. There are a finite amount of tickets that will all be sold to people who want to hear the guy's music. For every unhappy who did not get a ticket, there is a happy person who did. There is by definition no net disappointment.

Like so many self-conscious directors, Julie Taymor wrecks Shakespeare's already disastrous play with her own horrific vision.
An often gorgeous, dizzying assault of ideas and visual flourishes...it's just not very good.
Invoking unpleasant memories of "Caligula" (only without the sex), Titus does no justice to Shakespeare.

Since Im a fan of surrealism,I was really happy to see all these objects that don't go together in this movie, like video games and Roman temples, It made this movie feel like it came out of the mind of some one reading the Shakespeare script. The thing that brought this movie down was the gore,but its not the movies fault the play is one of Shakespeare's bloodiest work and the movie was doing its job well. However the bottom line is its a good movie.… Full Review »

The Elder Scrolls Online begins to colour in history
Head on over to The Elder Scrolls Online to check out the first of a series of short stories introducing key characters and lore for the upcoming MMO. Today's offering is about Jorunn the Skald-King, leader of the Ebonheart Pact which includes Argonians, Dark Elves and Nords. The story is presented as it would appear in-game, on a discoloured book; bless, they certainly take this seriously. The increasingly interesting MMORPG is due in 2013.
