Health inspection data on Yelp

A new reason to complain about Yelp
What will happen when restaurant customers can view the nitty gritty of a restaurant's health inspection report while deciding where to eat?
We grant that, in the name of transparency, it's good that customers know the restaurants in which they intend to eat have passed a rigorous health inspection. But we're not so sure it's a good idea for city and county health departments to have partnered with review site Yelp to create the data standard that makes the inspection details accessible. That's especially true in light of the 685 complaints against Yelp now on file with the Federal Trade Commission, most of them coming from restaurant owners.
Robert Delaware recently filed a Freedom of Information request
for Yelp-related complaints, among other complaints about the site's practice. Most complaints allege that Yelp manipulates positive and negative data on a restaurant's page to better sell ads to that restaurant.

I don't think that many people use Yelp anymore. IMO, there are too many snarky comments, and unreliable information. Bottom line,,,,,,,,,,,has a "bad" but untrue review cost anyone business? Has a glowing review, and Yelp advertising helped anyone to build business????? I don't know, but the few restaurant pros that I know are putting efforts elsewhere. One savvy young owner that I know is putting most effort towards Facebook. She has a sign up asking customers to tag pictures with her info when they post pictures of her cupcakes.
I know that Roadfood is not a major site, but for those of us who use it, it is very reliable. Updated threads and back and forth comments expose misinformation very quickly. Yelp lost me a year ago. They still send me email, but I ignore it.

I'd say 685 complaints is a drop in the bucket compared to how many people use Yelp.
I wouldn't take the site too seriously, but it is useful.

I think it is questionable if they're linking the health inspection to the yelp site for a restaurant. We have very easy access to that in FL wherein anyone can find out scores, both current and past, but I think they should stay separate of any actual reviews.
But again I could do without Yelp...or Trip Advisor...although they do get a lot of use. When I worked in the Keys the number one thing you heard anywhere was regarding Trip Advisor...and almost all the restaurants would hit every customer up for a good review upon paying their bill...I think if it's a genuine review then great! If it's constructive criticism-even better! But that should at least START in the restaurant with the appropriate manager so any issue can actually be taken care of...for the betterment of the whole operation. Not bad mouthing online.

People all review differently. Some reviewers are only active if they have something good to say, and then some people only review if they had a lousy experience. Some are way into the social aspect of yelp. Yes, there is a social scene of reviewers in the yelp community.
You can't really do much about how people come to their conclusion about your business. I've seen reviews of other places where the people are reviewing a place they have never been to. How does that work!? Its like they are commenting on the idea of the place, and not their experience.
I imagine many reviewers are influenced by what other people, either in their own dining party or out, think about a place they are about to review. Should that be relevant? "I had a friend who ate here and had the same experience..." Maybe, maybe not. I mean, its a review based on "your" experience, right? I think the same goes for public info like HD scores. I could see them being useful as a reference to a feeling you had while in a restaurant. Like "wow, despite its reputation, I found this place to be immaculate and professional. They must take criticisms to heart and improve where needed."
But as a way to kind of pull away the curtain on a system like HD inspections as a way to draw more negative criticism to a business because you may have a chip on your shoulder is kind of harsh.
In my experiences as a cart owner, my super positive, 100% passing (or nearly) inspections would not really tell a consumer much about what to expect when eating at my establishment, in my opinion. Only that I follow the rules. On the flip side, I could see how a barely passing inspection would have all kinds of interesting juicy comments for people to judge.
So, I don't think this info would give people a very balanced approach to helping them figure out if they should eat somewhere. But it might tell them where they might want to steer clear of if there are egregious repeat offenders of the HD rules.

The study of a modern language is a way of expanding one's horizons while developing specific linguistic skills that will enhance career, academic, and travel opportunities. One of the many benefits derived from modern-language study is the ability to transcend linguistic and cultural parochialism. To understand the uniqueness of one's own language and civilization, knowledge of another culture is essential. Language study is the key that unlocks the mysteries surrounding a foreign people. Through language, one is able to explore their literature, art, history, and philosophy-in short, their way of life.

McKINLEYVILLE -- For the 51st consecutive year, the McKinleyville Lions Club will conduct its "White Cane Days" fundraiser Friday through Sunday at stores in McKinleyville.
Lions Club members, dressed in gold vests and carrying white canes, will be at the Big Kmart, Ray's Food Place and Safeway stores in McKinleyville all three days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Lions' worldwide signature project has been sight conservation since Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness" in 1925. White Cane Day has been a major fundraiser for Lions Clubs since 1951 and a principal project of the McKinleyville Lions Club since being chartered in 1962. All donations are used to assist local residents with sight-related issues.
Members will also be accepting donations of used eyeglasses, hearing aids, cell phones and ink cartridges while they are set up at the locations listed above.
To make a contribution, look for Lions members in their gold vests, handing out "White Canes." Call Lion Bob Wainwright at 839-3768 for more information or to make a donation by mail that will benefit your area.

Geneva (Oct. 10)
The sixth commission of the League of Nations in which all member nations have representations today adopted the Assembly's 1922 resolution by reaffirming it against the continued opposition of the Reich delegates.
The resolution, which must now go before the League Assembly and receive the unanimous vote of delegates before it is adopted, originally proclaimed the obligation of all League members to maintain the same standard of rights toward minorities embodied in certain special treaties.
The second paragraph now extends the 1922 resolution, interpreting it merely in these words:
"The Assembly considers that the foregoing principles are applicable to all categories of nationals who differ from the majority by their race, language and religion." The original wording said that no interpretation excluding any category could be admitted as valid.
Dr. Friedrich von Keller of Germany declared, following the adoption of the resolution, that it must be confined to actual minorities and that the Jews do not constitute a minority.
Nevertheless the discussion at the sessions of the sixth commission and the subcommittee clearly showed that the second part of the resolution distinctly aims to include Jewish treatment by the Nazis in the Reich. Von Keller insisted that the question of the Jews is an internal matter in Germany and on these grounds he rejected the second part of the resolution.
In League circles it is declared that the German attitude is an open confession of discrimination against the Jews, and of a determination to continue the anti-Jewish repressions.
Germany's opposition to the resolution at the session of the Assembly tomorrow is bound to discredit the country, and isolate it from 55 states which favor adoption.

Mailbag: Was Wright the Mets' MVP?
Mailbag: Was Wright the MVP?
-- Sandy F., Westwood, N.J.
So you think Delgado outproduced Wright "all of the time." And that declaration is based on what exactly? No question Delgado had a remarkable run once he began to hit. But that happened on June 27, by which time the Mets had played 77 games, nearly half their season. The argument can be made that though Delgado's run carried them back into the race, the Mets might have been in first place or closer to it -- they had a 38-39 record and were in third place, 3 1/2 games back -- had he had not been invisible in his first 280 at-bats.
At that point, Delgado was in the midst of a poor season, batting .229 with a .306 on-base percentage and a .396 slugging percentage. He had scored 36 runs and driven in 35.
At the same point, Wright had 297 at-bats and had scored 46 runs and driven in 59. His batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage were .276, .373 and .488, respectively. Evidently, your "all the time" doesn't cover that extended period.
Moreover, Wright led the team with 124 RBIs, scored 115 runs (second to Carlos Beltran) and hit 33 home runs. At the same time, Delgado drove in 115 (second to Wright), scored 96 and hit 38 home runs, leading the team in the latter category. If you believe in runs produced (RBIs plus runs minus home runs) -- and I do -- that puts Wright's production at 206 and Delgado's at 173.
Wright never had an extended period in which he was as unproductive as Delgado was before he regained his timing. Wright didn't have his best season. He had batted .304 with a .504 slugging percentage with runners in scoring position in the three previous seasons, and batted .243 and slugged .376 in 2008. But at least some of that decline can be attributed to his batting third for all but seven at-bats and the batters following him -- Beltran and Delgado -- not hitting well for extended periods.
Who was the Mets' MVP?
|A look at the monthly run production and batting average with runners in scoring position of Mets sluggers David Wright and Carlos Delgado
|BA w/RISP
|BA w/RISP
|Leader in bold
Now, about the "big" home runs. Delgado hit three that tied the score and seven that gave the Mets a lead. Wright hit two that tied the score ... and 10 that put the Mets ahead.
Beyond all that, Wright runs the bases better than Delgado and, while recognizing the errors Delgado saved Wright, Wright's defense clearly is superior to that which Delgado provided -- even after Delgado's defense appeared to improve after Willie Randolph was dismissed.
I heard you interviewed, and you said you admired Aaron Heilman. What was there to admire? He was the biggest reason the Mets didn't win this year. How do you admire that?
-- Seth H., Morristown, N.J.
Heilman had a poor season, though he hardly was a primary factor in the team's September slide. He pitched 3 2/3 innings in the Mets' final 25 games. But I do admire -- and appreciate -- how he handled himself. He was hurt by his performance, but he was absolutely a stand-up guy about it. Heilman made no excuses, and he wasn't comfortable when manager Jerry Manuel let it be known he had pitched most of the season with tendinitis in his left knee.
I still can't get over how little Endy Chavez has been used. Randolph and Manuel ignored him when he is the best defensive outfielder the Mets have -- I know you agree with that -- and he provides energy. What gives?
-- Roberto D., Bronx, N.Y.
Both managers sensed Chavez is most valuable as a reserve player. Each believed the law of diminishing return applied to Chavez. It's interesting that in 2006 and 2008 he appeared in 133 games, but the difference in at-bats was dramatic -- 353 in '06 and 270 in '08. You're right, I consider Chavez as good an outfielder as any in Mets history -- he and Mike Cameron are at the top -- and the best defensive player, regardless of position, on the roster the last three seasons. But I also sense the Mets' inability to hold a lead prompted Manuel to keep his best offensive players in the game longer than he might have had the bullpen been more reliable.
Have a question about the Mets?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Mets beat reporter Anthony DiComo for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
I've read that many players not involved in the playoffs don't watch them. Why? Aren't they baseball fans? Shouldn't they want to watch to see how it's done?
-- Allison F., Chicago, Ill.
We can't segment the portion of the player population who watches the playoff series. But I'm sure a percentage of players monitor the results even if they don't watch the games. Players, particularly those from teams that barely missed the cut, are baseball-fatigued by this point in the year. All players have precious few days away from the game from mid-February through the end of September. Some need to get away, just as members of the general public need to vacation, no matter how much they enjoy their jobs.
In the case of the few Mets I have spoken with since the end of the regular season, I suspect the wounds are too fresh for them to watch each game. They can't help but see the Phillies' participation through the prism of "That should be us."
The last weeks of their regular season were grueling and ultimately unrewarding. And even when they were inclined to watch, other responsibilities can stand in the way. Manuel, for example, has moved into a new home, and much of his time has been occupied by that. People involved in the everyday aspect of baseball do have lives outside the game and not as much time as you'd think away from the game.
With all the baseball you've seen, which pitchers would you take if you could name a five-man rotation and one closer, assuming each was at the top of his game, for a five-year period, beginning with 1950?
-- Alan D., Union, N.J.
Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, Warren Spahn, Tom Seaver and Sandy Koufax. Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, Jerry Koosman, Johan Santana and Tom Glavine would be the next five. Mariano Rivera would be my closer, and Dennis Eckersley and John Smoltz would be warming up, just in case.
You've written several stories about parts of Shea Stadium being sold or taken as souvenirs. Did you get any?
-- Charlie S., Mahwah, N.J.
No, but I would have taken the old parking space assigned to Newsday if I had a chance and moved it to Citi Field. But otherwise, all I have is the memories and a photo Jay Horwitz, the Mets' vice president of media relations, set up -- an in-game scoreboard birthday wish that read "Happy 61st to Marty Noble" when I was 46. It will be quite appropriate soon enough.

Hey there berries! I'm back again! I need some middle name help. Here's what we have:
Merrick Liam - this one is set and ready to go! :)
Callen Thomas- I'm not totally in love with Thomas paired with Callen. I'd like to use maybe something that sounds a little softer. Liam has a very sweet soft sound in my opinion.
McCoy- I am so so so so in love with McCoy right now and so is my husband. Which spelling do you think is best... McCoy or Mckoy? We love the nns Mac and koy and Micky, and my husband walks around saying 'McCoy my boy' which I think is adorable. We just can't find a middle name that we like the sound of. We sort of like McCoy Jameson but it is a bit overboard Irish sounding.
Zealand- we love love love this name too, with nn Zeal or Zealy. It def needs a very grounded and plain mn with it. I was thinking Zealand Thomas or Zealand John or Jonathan after my dad. Any thoughts?

If you're having trouble coming up with a scary enough makeup job to go with this year's Halloween costume, you might want to check out the two-part season finale of the reality competition Face Off.
The third season of the genre makeup throw-down concludes Tuesday (9 p.m. on Space) with a Halloween-themed contest between the remaining top three contenders and then, on Wednesday (10 p.m. on Space), a live results show reuniting the 11 original players and revealing the audience choice for champ.
The winner gets a $100,000 (U.S.) prize, a year's worth of makeup supplies and guest-lecturing gigs at makeup schools in Paris and New York.
Face Off is a rather ingenious hybrid of Project Runway and your worst nightmare. Special-effects makeup artists of varying experience "face off" every week in a thematic challenge that tests their creativity and skill: for example, coming up with a scary spin on Alice in Wonderland or Dr. Seuss characters, or creating an original alien that would be at home in the iconic Star Wars cantina scene.
"I think that the show succeeds massively in being able to create challenges that allowed us to view all of the talent in a different paradigm every week, not just as necessarily a sculptor or a painter, but as a creative thinker and as an artist," says Face Off judge Glenn Hetrick.
The three weekly judges, all veteran makeup experts, are particularly, well, judgmental. None more so than pierced and tattooed Hetrick, whose Emmy-winning Optic Nerve Studios has crafted craniums for The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Heroes and Hunger Games, among others, and recently worked with Lady Gaga.
"There are a lot of challenges where it was so close that it would have to come down to sometimes reorganizing our thought pattern and saying, 'Well, even though all three of these are really good, who specifically won this challenge? Who learned the most from the last challenge? Who listened the most about what we were asking for?'" Hetrick says.
"And that's a very important skill, because we are often faced with the challenge of sitting in a room with producers and writers and directors who don't have homogenous ideas yet. . . . So we take those words and go back to our studio, and a week later we've turned these words into three-dimensional art that they're not even going to see until it walks in front of the camera and they start filming it and they're stuck with it."
Anchoring the Face Off proceedings every week is an attractive and particularly appropriate host, McKenzie Westmore, a former soap actress (Passions) descended from a long line of makeup masters.
The Westmore makeup legacy goes all the way back to the 1900s.
"My great-grandfather was the wigmaker to the king and queen of England, and he came over to Hollywood and opened a wig shop over on Sunset Blvd.," Westmore says.
"Rudolph Valentino was doing a silent film, accidentally shaved off his moustache, ran into the shop, asked for help and that was the birth of a makeup artist."
Westmore's grandfather worked on Gone With the Wind. Her great-uncle created the Creature from the Black Lagoon. And her father, Michael, won an Oscar for Mask and has earned nine Emmys for his work on the various Star Trek franchise series.
His studio was in the family garage, so McKenzie was immersed in the craft from a very early age. "Yeah, I had a couple of severed heads," she shrugs.
"My first image actually of walking into my dad's lab was (seeing) the Sleestak, with the big, black bulging eyes and the green head, from Land of the Lost. I remember turning on the light, seeing that, turning it off and running back up to the house screaming. That was my first memory."
Father Michael has served on the show as a guest judge and was blown away by the talent, McKenzie says.

|Is the final 200ft curtain also known as "Big Blue," or is that another area entirely?

|Having just climbed this today, I can confirm that the big blue curtain seen form the road that I'd seen referenced as "Big Blue" is in fact that final pitch to FMR.

|You can bypass the first approach pitch by walking around to the east (up-canyon). Above the second waterfall, bear right, then you can either stay left to enter the amphitheater described above, or keep right and climb a steep pitch (WI4/5) in a tight canyon. Both lead up to Big Blue, AKA FMR.

How can you increase the performance of HMI devices?
Associated product(s)
Through continual innovation the performance of controllers has increased by five to ten fold in the past three years. The cycle times of the controllers became increasingly shorter. The cycle times of the S7-300 controllers, for example, now frequently lie between 9ms and 16ms.
The time left for the CPU to communicate with the HMI devices is therefore becoming ever shorter, because only a certain percentage of the total cycle time is available for communication. The percentage of the time the CPU uses for communication is a minimum of about 3.5% of a cycle time of 15ms.
The FC630 function is for improving the performance of HMI services. An SFC is called in the FC630, which increases the time assignment for the HMI services according to the value of the parameter TSx:
- TSx = 0: restores the initial status
- TSx = 1: default setting
- TSx = 8: increases the CPU cycle time by approx. 50%
The TSx value increases the CPU cycle time by 6.25% per unit.
Evaluation of RET_VAL:
- 0000: no error, time factor is valid and accepted.
- 800x: error, the block must be restarted.
The valid factor is effective without any further modification until the power is switched off.
The "HMI" task
The CPU program is executed in different tasks ("subprograms"). In the "HMI" task, the CPU communication with the HMI devices is controlled by the operating system (data acquisition, data processing, data transfer and data fetching). The "HMI" task has a certain portion of the cycle time allotted to it. If this time expires, the "HMI" task is interrupted and the CPU continues with its cyclic program processing. The "HMI" task can be interrupted by higher-priority tasks. Higher-priority tasks include time interrupts and delay interrupts, for example.
The FC630 cannot be used in S7-400 CPUs because there is not the requisite firmware support. Furthermore, HMI response times cannot be shortened because the "HMI" task already has the second highest priority in the S7-400 CPUs.
Difference between FC630 and the setting in the CPU properties (cycle load through communication)
In the CPU properties there is also the "Cycle load through communication" parameter. This parameter only affects the CPU message traffic. The FC630 comes into effect early on at data acquisition and in processing the data, which is why the S7-300 CPU's cycle time can greatly extend itself if the FC630 is not handled properly.
Bus protocols for which you can use the FC630
You can use the FC630 for communication via
Requirements before using FC630
Since incorrect use of the FC630 can lead to malfunctions, in particular the CPU cycle time might increase enormously, you should check the following before using the FC630.
- How high are the cycle times of your CPU? It is particularly useful to operate with cycle times of between 9ms and 16ms, because the percentage of the time used for communication is a minimum of about 3.5% of a cycle time of 15ms. The percentage of the time used for communication with a cycle time of about 32ms is again a minimum of approx. 4.8%. This is why it is useful to implement the FC630 also with cycle times of between 25ms and 32ms. It is not generally useful to implement the FC630 for cycle times greater than 50ms. However, whether or not it is useful to implement the FC630 always depends on your system (number of HMI devices, number of tags polled ...).
Via STEP 7 under "PLC > Diagnostics/Setting > Module status > Cycle time" you can read out of your module the longest, shortest and current cycle time since transition from STOP to RUN.
Via the local data of the OB1 you can also read out the runtime of the previous cycle, the minimum cycle time since the last start and the maximum cycle time since the last start.
- Are there time critical subprocesses in the system that do not permit an increase in cycle time? If this is the case, you can also check whether the time critical subprocesses could be controlled via a cyclic interrupt. You should note here that cyclic interrupts interrupt the "HMI" task when called and thus influence HMI performance.
You can implement the FC630 function with S7-300 CPUs and C7 devices. Whether the FC630 can be implemented depends on the CPU type and the firmware version. The function described is valid for the CPU-31x modules as from firmware versions V2.3.2, V2.1.6 and V2.0.10.
The FC630 can also be used for the CPU319-3 PN/DP modules as from firmware version V3.2. However, the firmware version V3.2 contains an improved HMI Turbo that only works for the acyclic HMI services.
- This does not speed up the cyclic HMI services, so the FC630 continues to be need to improve performance.
- The new function - "Prioritized OCM communication" - has been introduced in all devices as from firmware version V3.2, but it can only be configured in the CPU315F-2 PN/DP modules onwards.
- The HMI Turbo is only hidden for the modules CPU312 to 315-2DP and can be configured with the new function FC2551.
More information about "Prioritized OCM communication" is available in Entry ID: 49749632.
The attached download contains an archived sample STEP 7 project with the FC630 described above. Use of the FC630 is described in detail in the document below.

The NVIDIA 700a Series of Chipsets
The nForce 780a SLI chipset has been on the verge of release many times over the past several months but there was always something pushing it back. Now NVIDIA is finally ready to unveiling their first updated AMD-platform chipset in years and the ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe is the first board on the chopping block.
Introduction and Specifications
The EVGA UV Plus+ allows you to connect up additional monitors to your notebook or desktop PC through a USB connection rather than requiring you to install another graphics card. Can this new device from one of our favorite video card vendors help you out of a virtual desktop space deficiency?
Introduction and Features
The Aquaduct 360 XT delivers excellent performance and incorporates an advanced controller and sophisticated software that allows displaying and tweaking just about every parameter that can be visualized or adjusted in a water cooling system.
Diamond Improves on the HD 3870
The fastest single-GPU card from AMD is still the Radeon HD 3870 and continues to struggle to stand up to the increasing competition from NVIDIA. Diamond is attempting to bump up the GPU's performance by increasing the frame buffer to 1GB - but can it help performance at all?
New in 3DMark Vantage
The new 3DMark Vantage software is finally available after several months of "leaked" screenshots and information flooding the forums. Now that 3DMark has moved to DirectX 10 what can you expect to find in this incredibly popular benchmarking software?
Our first SSD test
Our first review of a solid state disk compares the OCZ 64GB SATA-I model to the new VelociRaptor hard drive as well as other desktop HDDs and even another 2.5" notebook drive from Western Digital. The results are incredibly interesting though not as impressive as originally hoped.
The long-awaited triple-core processors
AMD's triple-core processors are finally available to the public and are based on the B3-stepping that no longer has the dreaded TLB and performance issues. Can these sub-$200 processors convince you that three cores are better than two? When is getting that fourth core more valuable?
VT HD 3870 Introduction
Previously we have reviewed the VisionTek Radeon HD 3850 card, but how does its bigger brother compare to the competition from big(ger) green? VisionTek has been making a pretty significant push into the retail market as of late, and the HD 3870 is their mainstream offering in the $169 to $200 price range.
Introduction and Specifications
The incredibly popular Raptor series of drives gets an upgrade today with the introduction of the Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB hard drive. There is more to this update than just a capacity bump; performance gets a noticeable boost as well!
The Trouble with NVIDIA and Intel
The past week has been rampant with discussion on the new war that is brewing between NVIDIA and Intel but there was one big player left out of the story: AMD. It would seem that both sides seem to have written this competitor out but we think quite the opposite.
Sapphire takes on the AMD Radeon HD 3650
The AMD Radeon HD 3650 is a mid-range low cost GPU aimed at the under $100 market of graphics cards. Sapphire is one of the AMD's best partners and is known for taking their products and making them better than reference design. But does the HD 3650 have the power to take on NVIDIA's 8600 GTS cards?
The ray tracing debate continues
Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli sat with us to answer some questions on the topic of ray tracing, its future in gaming and how Intel's push into hardware ray tracing might be affecting the way games are made.
9800 GTX with a Twist
BFG is taking the 9800 GTX a step further by bumping up the core, shader and memory clocks quite a bit in the new OCX model. Come see if these new record G92 speeds are going to be worth your money.
More of the same, but more appealing
The ASUS Eee PC may not be for everyone but with a new Windows XP version that maintains the same $399 price point it might find a way into your home whether you originally were interested or not.
Introduction and Features
BFG's new ES-800 features variable frequency conversion to maximize efficiency and it can deliver up to 780W on the +12V outputs with zero load on the +3.3V and +5V rails. Sound interesting? Read on!
Pre-Olympics Fanfare
Intel's IDF show is starting this morning in Shanghai and details of Intel's Atom release are finally creeping in. Though we don't have the full details on the architecture quite yet, we do have some interesting information about it to share.
NVIDIA is pumping out new products like they are going out of style...so are they? The new 9800 GTX does not bring us anything that we haven't seen before but better performance and lower prices is always a plus. Oh, and 3-Way SLI is always fun to test!
AMD's badly needed upgrade
Since the revelation that AMD's first Phenom processors had an erratum in them the company has worked around the clock to get a fix out in the form of a new B3 stepping of the CPU core. They are here and not only fix the bug but increase clock speeds and performance to boot!
Quad SLI Technology
NVIDIA is taking another swing at Quad SLI this time with the 9800 GX2 graphics card. Can it succeed where the 7950 GX2 failed and can it best the impressive feature set that we saw with the AMD CrossFireX technology?
Features and Specifications
A radical case, designed for elite gaming enthusiasts. The first part of this review will cover the limited edition enclosure and later in Part 2 we will take a detailed look at the optional water-cooling system.

Does Pat Robertson Hate Woman? [VIDEO]
Does Pat Robertson, the spiritual leader of televisions "The 700 Club", just hate woman? I think there is enough video evidence to justify asking the question. Check out some of his television show recordings.
In so many instances when there is a question involving relationship difficulties Pat Robertson draws the conclusion that it's the woman's fault.
In one video a boy asks if his dad shouldn't be paying more attention to his mom. Pat has no background on the situation and insinuates that "Maybe your mom isn't as sweet as you think she is".
Then he tells how he and a pastor friend had a good chuckle over a woman who was so "ugly she was driving her husband to drink".
In another show clip Pat points out if a husband would convert to the Muslim faith he would be able to solve his problems by "beating his wife". And he says it with real passion.
And of course this week Pat Robertson responds to a woman who is struggling with an unfaithful husband and he doles out this wisdom:
"Stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you, well, he's a man. Does he provide a home for you to live in? Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children… Is he handsome? Does he take the kids to sporting events? Males have a tendency to wander a little bit, and what you want to do is make the home so wonderful that he doesn't want to wander.""
Really Pat … there's nothing wrong with a husband schtupping a stripper as long as he's handsome and buys your groceries.
So what do you think? Is Pat Robertson biased against woman?
FYI Pat, if you are reading this, here are the BIG 10 (check out #7):
The Ten Commandments
- I am the Lord, your God.
- Thou shall bring no false idols before me.
- Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
- Honor thy father and thy mother.
- Thou shall not kill/murder.
- Thou shall not commit adultery.
- Thou shall not steal.
- Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
- Thou shall not covet your neighbor's wife (or anything that belongs to your neighbor).

Comments about Westinghouse 7W 120V Starlite Decorative Bulb, E12 Base:
I've never seen a bulb like this. I was looking for something special for a small, French antique desk lamp with a curved neck and no fitting for a shade. The light needed was only to highlight a porcelain bird and flowers on the base of the lamp. This bulb looks like part of the art of the lamp. The unusual shape suggests melting ice or dew drops. Really lovely!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Creepy nighttime tour of abandoned Disney water park [video]
Disney theme parks are supposed to be magical places. But when you see this abandoned Disney water park, you'll be inclined to think they're full of dark magic.
Full story at Backyard Exploration.
More great vids.Posted by Josh Urich
Comments are off for this post.
Just FYI, this was not a 'water park'. This was Discovery Island, and it was a nature preserve, accessible only by boat. It was shut down many years ago, but I went there a few times when I was a kid. Sad to see it so spooky and abandoned. It was beautiful once upon a time.
It is the same island that the abandoned water park was located on, but if they ever made it to the water park (River Country) I couldn't tell. There are several videos and pics of the abandoned water park floating around that you can find and they are kind of cool to look at as a former guest of that park. I would have been interested in seeing it at night but, alas, no luck here.
Yeah, this is Discover Island, not River Country. Discover Island and River Country are (were) not located on the same piece of land at the parks. Discover Island was closed when the decision was made to open Animal Kingdom. There was no compelling reason to do anything to the island once it was "closed down". I find it interesting though how these explorers got to the island. Unlike the ruins of River Country, which is actually located only a few feet from Fort Wilderness, Discovery Island is actually an island so they would have had to take a raft or something to get there.
All three of you are wrong. This is River Country at Ft. Wilderness, not Discovery Island. It is in a well blocked, hidden area on the NW side of Fort Wilderness on the shore of Bay Lake.
You can easily tell that is is not Discovery island had because there were no bridges or steps anywhere there. The island had one elevation and was completely flat everywhere.
River country had steps and bridges everywhere because it had to be multi elevational as all the water rides were gravity driven. If all that wasn't enough a well documented water wheel is shown at 1:58 that was located at River Country. As an Orlando local, i went to river country at least 30 times and i remember that wheel clearly, as well as other landmarks shown in this video. Most of the steps are on the stairs up to the top of the water flumes.
To be clear though, there are TWO abandon areas at Disney that are abandon like this, both where someone has broken into at night and taken videos. This one however is clearly River country, not Discovery Island.

Command Performance
Last night was my firm's holiday dinner at Commander's Palace. I don't know if it is that I didn't make it to last year's soiree or that being a new mother, I don't get a lot of adult interaction, but I enjoyed myself at last night's party more than I can remember enjoying in a long time.
Steinbeck and a bizarre obituary were discussed; liquor was imbibed; good eats were consumed; friends were toasted and remembered. And a fellow picking on a banjo serenaded us. CS and I had the Last Straws, a dixieland band, play at our wedding reception; I was reminded of that night last night. And I got to hear "You are My Sunshine" and Christmas carols plucked on that banjo.
It was a joyous occassion. Taking maternity leave had the effect of allowing me to re-appreciate the great group of folks with whom I work. Damn, I'm lucky.

Editor's Rating & Review
Why should nails get all the attention? Cuticles need pampering too, and this almond-scented oil is what the pros I've interviewed use to keep them looking hydrated, polished and smooth. Vitamin E and jojoba soften skin and rice bran oil and sweet almond oil penetrate nails to keep them strong, yet flexible. Sounds like a crock, I know, but with regular use my hangnails stopped and my hands <i>look</i> freshly manicured. Don't like to mess with oil? Try the solid.

Szold Found Busy, Happy Nation During 2 Months in Palestine
Robert Szold, vice-chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and chairman of the American Economic Committee for Palestine, returned to this country Tuesday on the S.S. Berengaria after a month's tour of Palestine and neighboring countries. He had been away, in all, about two months.
Interviewed on shipboard, Mr. Szold was very optimistic about Palestine. He painted a rosy picture of prosperity in which party strife is abating.
"To evaluate the achievements of the Jews in Palestine," he said, "one has to know what the country was before the Jews came in and what neighboring countries are today. Palestine is teeming with activity. There is no unemployment. Building is everywhere, of urban houses, roads, factories and farm dwellings. At least $50,000,000 came into the country last year. Immigrants are now entering at the rate of 50,000 per year. All are busy making their livelihood, building their homes, developing the country. In more than one place that I entered in the evening, I found tractors being driven by Jews in the dark."
Continuing, he said: "The neighboring lands, on the other hand, are as they long have been. Undeveloped primitive agriculture, little or no industry, misery and starvation are to be found among the fellahin (Arab peasants). Transjordan is comparatively empty. Today the Transjordan Arab goes to Palestine to pick up the, to him, unbelievably high wage of Palestine.
"The Haurani Arab goes from the land east of the Syrian Lebanon to work at the new docks and industries in Haifa. One day when I was in Haifa, no Syrian money was obtainable because, they said, all available had been taken by the Haurani Arabs to send back home. Many thousands of Arabs from neighboring countries have recently come and continue to come to Palestine."
Explaining the progress made by the Jewish Homeland, Mr. Szold said that the development of a hitherto backwoods country is due to the "experience and determination of the Jews." He said:
"Pioneering in agriculture, citriculture, commerce and industry, the Jews with their private capital, have already accomplished a permanent achievement. The great source of national wealth which they have brought is not merely their material capital, but more their experience, their spiritual devotion and willingness to endure for the common cause. To save any fraction of this human material from wastage and heartache is a truly national work, to which the American Economic Committee has devoted itself with modest success."
Speaking of the German migration, Mr. Szold said that the Jews in the colonies welcome the new immigration. "The generation of existing colonists," he said, "has already demonstrated the capacity and willingness of the Jews to farm. They are not leaving their homesteads to reap the high wages in the building trades in the city, but on the contrary are remaining and absorbing among themselves German newcomers. They see in those newcomers who go into industry in the urban centers, not only additional consumers of agricultural products, but also elements needed in a growing homogeneous community.
"Clean farm yards and barns, numerous white leghorn chicken runs complement the orange and grapefruit groves. "Whatever the future has in store for Palestine," Mr. Szold said, "the Jews may well be proud of what they have already done. Palestine remains the land of hope and opportunity."
Mr. Szold declined to discuss political matters except to state that he would not attend the World Zionist Congress, business affairs not permitting him to leave the country so soon again.
Returning with him was Mrs. Szold, vice-president of Hadassah, who made a tour of the projects of the organization in Palestine.

Across the South, Mellow Mushroom is a college-town mecca due to its tasty pies, heroic craft brew selection and grooved-out, Peter Max-meets-H.R. Pufnstuf aesthetics.On the pizzas, cheese is scant, but the 35 toppings — including tempeh, tofu, pesto, portobellos and jerk chicken — are bountiful. Some people swear by Mellow Mushroom's crust, a golden, wheaty, low-gluten, spring water-enhanced recipe. It's a unique blend, earthy and sweet. Some Mellows also have recipes unique to that location (at Citrus Park, Anease LaGaze created the fine chicken pesto pizza). But Mellow's biggest draw is a monumental beer list. The Citrus Park store was the first franchise to employ a full-time "beer guy," making it not only a great pizzeria, but a great bar. Pies are $8.50 to $24.75. Takeout or dine in? Definitely dine in. It's a little pricey, but the service is great. No delivery.

In the chart, Florida is listed as a 'no'--but I do have a good friend that has a very successful catering business from her partner's home. She and her best friend started it several years ago. They are licensed and everything.
I think maybe the difference is that the customer never comes to the house. Everything is delivered. I think that is what makes the difference in Florida...that the kitchen has to be a separate from the 'living' area...
I'm going to do some more calling/research and find out.
Both Indy and Wisconsin do not allow home kitchens... sorry the news isn't better.
I never have a problem getting it to open like most people seem to. Just click where it says Download on the right and click open and it pops up every time. Not that I mind looking it up though.
I have talked to the Health Department in Indiana and they said that you cannot sell from a home kitchen, but you could covert a garage. It has to be closed off from the home (living space) and have a separate entrance.
The list is not of states that do or don't allow the kitchen to be in your home, just states that do or don't allow you to use your residential kitchen (meaning the same kitchen you cook your family's meals in). Many of the states will allow you to have a separate kitchen in your home, but it has to be completely separate from your "home kitchen" and some states require that is be up to commercial code.
I also think it's a matter of people not having Excel on their computer that won't allow them to open the file. Perhaps it need to be made into a Word document. You can make a table easily and highlight it just like it is now and it will accessible to everyone?
Great informatin, my husband and I were thinking to move to Utah. I could open a home business there.
I know that I can not bake and sell out of my home in CA...but what if I bake out of a commerical/co-op kitchen?
Yes, I agree with JKALMAN, the file is in spreadsheet format. Some of us have a program on our computers that will open a spreadsheet--like Excel for instance. Some of us do not. Many computers come with Excel already on them as the "default" program for opening spreadsheet docs. You may not use it or even know that it is there but, it enables you to open those type documents. There may be another program installed that allows you to open spreadsheets and if it has been set to "default" as part of your computer's programming, it will open the document automatically when you click on the document just like Excel. This is why it "just opens" for some of you and won't open for others. If the doc was in a more universal format like JPG, or a text format that we could open in Adobe Reader, more people would be able to access it. We all have programs installed in our computers that read text and see images otherwise you couldn't read this message or see the pics on this website. So, if you want to post spreadsheets or "Word" docs in a format for everyone, just export them in JPG or Adobe format and everyone will be able to open them. I hope this helps.
It is posted in text everyone can read at the top of this page.
Yes, I see that...the message I posted was not aimed at you personally. I was actually speaking to anyone who wanted to post a spreadsheet document in the future. I didn't mean to offend you.
What i have done is tell people I can't legally sell them a cake. I don't charge other then for the ingredients, pans if I don't have them and tell them I will accept donations.
Has anyone run into problems doing that? So far I have only done them for friends, but have 2 people that would like me to make their wedding cakes.
I know that I can not bake and sell out of my home in CA...but what if I bake out of a commerical/co-op kitchen?
Yes ms_gwyn, that is okay. The trick is finding commercial kitchens, which is more difficult than I expected (at least in Los Angeles).

Thank you!
I have an extenship in a bakery right now and there are co-ops all over LA.
This news makes me less anxious about my business venture!
I'm from Ohio and I was told by the inspector that when they have "slow" days, they open up the yellow pages and start calling all food businesses that aren't listed in their system. Sometimes they even surprise visit them and close them down! Most of the time they're home based businesses.
I'm sure all they have to do is pay a fine and have the inspector come back out and give them a license so they can continue to bake and sell, I'm just glad I already have mine!
From what I hear, it's pretty hard to not get one. The requirements are minimal for my state.
I am so stuck and frustrated! I LOVE decorating cakes but can't seem to find a cost-effective way to do this in New Jersey. I have thought about asking local restaurants if I could rent space a few hours a week in their kitchens but I am so lost and confused about NJ rules. Can anyone help me so I don't have to give up this dream?
Thank you so very much.
Hawaii is a NO. You can NOT bake out of your home. You have to bake out of a commercial kitchen and your items MUST BE SOLD through a licensed business ie: restaurant, bakery...not out of your home.
I am trying to find out more about Louisiana how can I go about that? I went to the health & hospital website but am unable to find more information about home bakeries. I've been doing the cakes from my grandmother's back porch where there is a kitchen setup do any of you know if if Louisiana allows you to do in home bakery if you have a seperate kitchen?
Great informatin, my husband and I were thinking to move to Utah. I could open a home business there.
I live in Utah and it varies by city. Even though you can get past the HD, you may not be able to get a home-occupation license from the city. As far as I know, Salt Lake, Sandy and now Payson are the only cities that allow it. Others are supposed to be added soon.
Okay I just called the Alaska Dept of Health. You may sell out of your home if you have a separate kitchen set up, that is closed off to your family and separate entrance. However they have no regulations and you do not need to be permitted to sell at craft fairs and farmers markets. Also for a bakery you may use any commercial kitchen i.e. church or rec kitchens. Is it clear what I am saying?
I am trying to find more info on Virginia, the dept of Agr. webpage is not very friendly. Anyone knows how to get a permit or if you'll get in trouble for baking a few cakes at home?
Umm...anyone know anything about New Mexico? I realize that it is reported to be a no, but is it like other states where if you have a separate kitchen you can work from home?
I didn't read all the way through the Idaho site. But I have spoke to the Health Department in my county, and it is ok. We of course have to do all the tax stuff if we are selling. And it is reccommended to take a health class through the health department, and we can pay a fee to have them come out and inspect the kitchen. But that is all optional. According to the Health Department they don't consider Cake Decorating hazardous. Apparently they don't think we can hurt anyone with a cake.
How ever I do know that it varies by county. Because My MIL's Health Dept say no.
okay, I did a little research of my own. The laws of New Mexico are that you can have a home business depending on your county. Just call the local city hall and ask.
Connecticut only allows it if you have a separate kitchen and some towns require you not only to have a separate kitchen but a three bay sink..all commercial appliances including a commercial dishwasher. I thought that was the most ridiculous thing i ever heard of. You need to take out a second mortgage on your home to have a second kitchen built. Some towns don't require commercial equipment or stainless steel just a seperate kitchen. I am working on getting that law changed so that those of us who love to bake can do so out of our homes. NC has a great model I'd like to use. At least in Charlotte. I think it is unfair when there are restaurants whose kitchens are worse than any home kitchen. There are about over 200 people in CT who bake out of there homes with no permit and have been doing it for years. They just can't advertise and have to rely on word of mouth. I am also looking into raising money for a community kitchen.
Kansas regulations are a bit tricky. I say this because eventhough the Kansas Food Code says that you have to have a completely separate kitchen in your home that you make food out of for the consumer, the state isn't going to bug you unless they have a complaint about you.
I was having some weird responses from customers last year when I would tell them that I was an "in home" business. Well, here is a letter I wrote to the Kansas head of the food safety division... the ones who enforce all the regulations. This is a copy of my email to him on Sunday, November 16, 2008 and his response....
Hello Mr. Moris,
Thank you for taking my email. I have an in-home bakery in Overland Park Kansas, and make special occasion cakes for the "end consumer". I have a separate, full kitchen in my home, free of children and any animals, use cake mixes and non-perishable cake fillings, sell directly to the consumer, and I adhere to Health Department guidelines for sanitation and cleanliness. But, I am not licensed because I was told by someone at the Dept. of Ag.(I'm sorry I don't remember his name...but it was a phone conversation in the early part of September of 2007) that I fall under the "Farmer's Market Clause". Because of this, he said, I don't need a health license. You can imagine how happy I was to hear that!
In the last 6 months, though, I have had a few customers call me about potentially making a cake for them. But, after I tell them that I am an in-home bakery, they asked me, "Do you know that in-home bakeries are illegal in Kansas?"
The first time I was asked that, I politely answered them that I fell under the "Farmer's Market Clause" and reassured them that in-home bakeries ARE LEGAL in Kansas. After the second person told me similar information, I had asked them where they had gotten that information at. Them told me that a cake maker in Leawood had told them that info. She also has stated the "illegality" of in-home bakeries on her website.
Please, don't take me wrong. I don't know who this baker is; I have no quarrels with her. My concern is, ...are in-home bakeries REALLY illegal in Kansas like she says? Was the info I was given last year incorrect? Is it true that "anybody who makes and sells any kind of food for the public" has to be inspected and licensed? I want to make sure that everything I make and sell is legal. I have a real talent and a deep love for what I do, and I intend to grow my business in the future.
If what I was told by the Dept. of Ag. last year was true, could you please send me that "Farmer's Market Clause" by email, if possible? If what I was told was incorrect, could you please point me in the direction of what I should do and who I should talk to to get inspected and licensed.
Thank you so much for your time and attention on this matter.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I just looked at your website, and I agree, you have a great talent. You probably talked to me last year, and that information is still correct. If you sell non-potentially hazardous baked goods directly to the end consumer, you are not required to have a license. The Kansas Dept. Of Agriculture will still expect you to follow guidelines set by the Kansas Food Code, and for your information, even though you are not required to have a license, if we receive a complaint, we have the authority to inspect any facility that produces or sells food in the state of Kansas. I will attach a handout that we have on our website www.ksda.gov that explains what can be sold at farmers market without a license.

Well! That just shored up my confidence! I now knew that what the other baker was saying was wrong.... Needless to say, "the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing". I found out the hard way(some of you guys' worst business nightmare) that Overland Park is the ONLY city in the whole dern state that requires EVERY food business to be health licensed and inspected. Yep, that same baker called the city health inspectors on me and they came to pay me a little visit. She even called the state and told them that I was selling cheesecakes(which I wasn't) so that they would come out, too. A few weeks later, she called the city again and told them about other in-home bakers in OP that weren't licensed....she doesn't play nicely with others in the sandbox, ya know what I'm sayin'?
The city was very nice to deal with, though. I just had to make a few adjustments, put in a bit more lighting, and pay the $100 annual licensing fee. They realized, after the second phone call to the city, that this baker was just trying to get rid of her competition. They also realized that the other in-home bakers were going off of info that was given to them from the State, and they all though that they were legal, too. The city probibly figured that this was all a huge can of worms that was being opened and that they would be wasting their time and resources chasing it all down,...so they dropped it.
The state was even better to deal with. They came out, I showed them the email from Mr. Moris and assured them that I do not sell perishable items. The inspector said, "Yeah, Steve's my boss. If he says you're good then we have no problem with you."
So, a few lessons for all to be learned here.
1. In Kansas, you're fine if you sell non-perishable goods from your home directly to your clients.
2. If there is a complaint, they have the right to come out and inspect and require you to bring it up to code, BUT you still DO NOT have to get licensed.
3. Overland Park... is a whole 'nother story.
4. If you're thinking of throwing your competition under the bus just to get rid of them....don't do it! Remember the old saying, "What you put into the lives of others will come back to you."
The list says that Nevada is a no...that's not accurate. I just got my license and its about whether you are in the city or county limits. And you don't receive just the business license, you have to also apply for a home occupational permit too.
Just an update
I'm in Phoenix, AZ and it was a no on the chart.... So does that mean I can get in trouble for selling cakes? I only plan to sell to family, friends, and friends of friends. Is that bad? And is there anyone in my area that can help me out with pricing? So far I've only done freebees. I'm charging for a 12x18 cake this weekend but aparently I'm waaaay under. $40! I was put on the spot and had no time to really think about it so thats what I came up with. If anyone can share their prices just to give me an idea, that would be awsome!!! thanks
Im in Louisiana and the only way you can do cakes from your home is if you have a seperate kitchen detached from your home. Such a bummer
Anyone here from Ontario, Canada? I am pretty sure you don't need a license to operate a cake business from your home kitchen....

Passionate renditions of two Roy Orbison numbers, the obscure "Till the Heart Caves In" and the 1961 hit "Crying," gave a much-needed boost early on in k.d. lang's somber set that married the concept of prairie companion with the torch song renegade. For 20 minutes she had echoed the dark and smoky mood of her new Warners disc "Drag," an effective collection singular in its timbre and theme, before turning to Orbison and then rolling through her various guises. In lang's hands, Orbison's words are given the utmost respect --- "there's an unspoken responsibility to give it your all," she told the enthusiastic audience --- and she mined each line for its darkest possible connotation. On "Crying," for which she received a well-deserved standing ovation, lang tiptoed through the verses of intimate reflection and slapped the resolution with an operatic downpour of unquestionable magnetism. That potent moment shredded the veneer of her polished set.
And from there the show was a romp — some campy swing, a buoyant take on the contemporary chanteuse, more of the dark, lounge lizard balladry from "Drag" and some big-big-BIG country ditties, the boldness of which contrasted mightily to the romantic mettle of her newer works.
As good as her records are, none can compete with the variety she offers in concert — the newest selections placing an eerie emphasis on addiction and obsession.
Her bandmates, all of whom appear on "Drag" and earlier albums, are aces throughout. Guitarists Greg Leisz and David Pilch meld evocative elements of jazz and country; pianist Teddy Borowiecki is always on target in his accompaniment, especially on "My Old Addiction"; and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. brings out a vast array of textures from his kit. Singer Kysia Bostic is a talent worthy of a front-and-center role.
Dressed in the double-breasted pinstripe suit she appears in on the cover of "Drag," lang is perfectly attired for evening's changing moods. She gives numbers just enough theatricality to make each stand on its own, whether it's the repetition of the "peaches" line in Steve Miller's "The Joker" or a little limber hoofing on "Smoke Dreams"; filling the air with smoke rings and soap bubbles were effective touches that generated smiles all around.

Layer with three of the cooked lasagna noodles, then place in layers – 1/3 of the sausage mixture, 1/2 of the cottage cheese, 1/2 of the sauerkraut and 1/3 of the Monterey or Monterey Jack cheese. Then repeat layering for a second tier. For the last layer, place the last three cooked noodles on top, place the white sauce on top and bake 50-60 minutes in 350-degree oven or until bubbly. Just before the last 5 minutes of baking, place the remaining shredded cheese on top.

If the NFL owners and players come to a collective bargaining agreement in time to play the upcoming season in its entirety, the Browns will open 2011 with a home game against the Bengals on Sept. 11 and close with a home game against the Steelers on New Year's Day.
Once again, the Browns -- a result of going 4-12, 5-11 and 5-11 in consecutive seasons -- were kept off "Monday Night Football" on the schedule announced Tuesday evening by the NFL.
They have one prime-time game: They play the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Thursday, Dec. 8.
Three weeks later, they end the season against the Steelers at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Five of their last six games are against division opponents, so if the Browns can surprise and be 5-5 or better when they enter that portion of their schedule, they can have a lot to say about what happens in the AFC North.
"I was really excited when we got this schedule, and in fact, I met with my coaches as a staff almost immediately afterwards," Coach Pat Shurmur said in a statement released by the Browns. "We're looking forward to opening the season at home against the Bengals, and I think it is good for our team and our fans that three of our first four games are at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
"You always get a little more fired up for prime-time games, especially when it is against a division rival like the Steelers. It's important for your team to play well down the home stretch, particularly this year with five of our last six games against divisional opponents."
The stretch against division opponents starts in Week 12 with a game in Cincinnati, followed by a home game against the Ravens on Dec. 4. Four nights later, they are in Pittsburgh, then play in the desert against the Cardinals on Dec. 8.
The Browns play the Ravens in Baltimore on Christmas Eve before their second game against the Steelers a week later.
If Cleveland Browns Stadium gave the Browns a true home-field advantage, the start of the season would favor the Browns, but that is not the case. This will be the 12th time in 13 years the Browns open at home. The only time they won their opener was in 2004, when they beat the Ravens, 20-3. They went 3-12 the rest of the season.
After playing in Indianapolis the second week of the season, the Browns host the Dolphins and Titans on consecutive Sundays and then have their bye. Three of their next four games are on the road, all on Sunday afternoons -- at the Raiders, a home game against the Seahawks and road games in San Francisco and Houston. Next they host the Rams and Jaguars on Nov. 13 and 20 before the stretch against division opponents begins.
