setting up a dual boot Win7 & XP
The situation is a little complicated (to me that is). Have Windows 7 installed on the C drive partition of a large (1 TB) HD. On the other D partition is Win XP. The problem is that the people who built the computer used a bogus copy of XP to set it up. I have a real one and want to replace the bogus one. I thought I could change the boot order in the BIOS and have the computer boot to the MSFT XP disc. But after I change the boot order to the DVD drive it still boots to the screen with the choice of Windows 7 or XP. If I choose XP, I am in WinXP and can't get the CD to overwrite the bogus XP. I do not want to chance anything happening to my Windows 7 installation as it's perfect and has a lot of work in building all the programs etc.
Any advice or direction to look into would be appreciated.
|My System Specs
|23 May 2011
Tap the F8 key repeatedly at boot to get the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key, select CD drive to boot.
XP is on a CD so if you only have a DVD drive that is your problem.

Dual boot reinstall XP
I know how to get into the bios and change the boot order but because it's a dual boot system on one drive it doesn't react the same.
However, I see a way to accomplish the fix but have a question. It seems the reason my XP good disc can't simply overwrite the existing bogus XP is that it is an earlier older version. It asks me to delete the new one and then reinstall my good one. That's fine by me, but I have a question. Is there a simple uninstall for Windows XP?
Reinstalling I know how to do but wondered if I can reinstall to a partition of my choice that happens to be on the same disc with Win 7 on a different partition? Any advice now is helpful as this seems like the easiest way.

Thanks for the BCD suggestion. I would like to reformat the XP partition and reload my good XP but it is not available to format. Get a no can do message. Also tried through control panel but no xp in list of programs to uninstall. Am reading up on BCD as maybe an answer. Any last thoughts are appreciated.
|My System Specs

There is no uninstall option for operating systems (THEY ARENT APPS, THEY ARE THE PLATFORM APPS WORK FROM), copy any files you want to keep from the XP partition to the Windows 7 Partition and format it from a non windows enivronment (use a boot disk).
As far as I am aware DVD drives all read CD's aswell, I havent come across one that doesnt.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2011
Thanks for the input. I now get why I have been failing. Boot from a non windows environment sounds like the easiest way to go. I guess not from the Win CD install disc but something else?? Not sure what that would be, but would like to know as simply formating that partition would solve everything for me.
FYI: I could boot from the Win XP cd but not reinstall due to the good xp disc is an older version of the xp the computer makers put on as the dual boot.

Boot from the XP CD, during setup choose the XP partition to delete, recreate and full format, or just full format.

If you run into problems, simply mark Windows 7 partition Active, boot the Windows 7 DVD or REpair CD to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots until Windows 7 starts, then add XP from Windows 7 with EasyBCD 2.02.

Guest Post from Gerard: Sext Poetic
There is no medium that can't be improved upon by the socialite. Sexting is basically slumming it on your smartphone, but in the right hands the gross and hilarious becomes the risque and scintillating. Don't get me wrong, I have never not laughed uncontrollably during a sexting session because come on, just think about the positions we contort ourselves into for the composition of a drool-worthy sext.
If you're still reading, either you know what I'm talking about or you're fooling yourself into thinking you're just humoring me. But you and I both know you want the socialite tricks of the sexting trade. Leave your shame at the door, as there's no room for excessive dignity in this game (i.e. Don't be a killjoy and have some 21st-century fun - everyone is doing it).
Now, anyone can fire off a dick pic and/or tit pic (guys have tits too, and let's not neglect those outside the binary). But unless you want to "Anthony Weiner" your life, a bit of tact is required. A good rapport is essential with a potential sextmate (who, by the way, is not necessarily a one-time partner). By that I mean you've talked in person at least once and have made the requisite physical evaluations to know that this is worth it. Hopefully you're rational enough to determine that your sextmate is respectful and stable enough to be responsible with your… likeness. Keep in mind that these are going to be in the ether. So heed the following:
-Don't include any definite ties to your identity (incriminating tattoos, unique bedspreads, NO facial features, obviously)
-Keep in mind the potential for a "leak:" be sure that you're only sending very, very good sexts. I won't say that all publicity is good publicity, but hey, you might as well put your best self out there.
-Take more than one picture at a time with subtle variations in between. Your first shot will rarely be your best.
-A good socialite always plans ahead. The next time you're feeling particularly attractive, snap a few choice pics of yourself to have on hand. The opportunities to sext can come when you can't sneak away and pull down your pants. And sexting in public while your friends are unaware is a lovely treat.
-Keep the sexts you receive and create a locked folder on your phone. For your records and for insurance.
-As far as composition goes: low light is your friend. Strong, overhead light is not your friend. I FORBID you from sending mirror selfies. Not classy, not ever. Instead, just find parts of your body that are particularly photogenic (a mirror might be necessary for this stage) and snap away. This will vary from person to person, but generally backs, butts, and the chest region are going to be safe bets and identity-securing. Those of you with dicks: the straight down, point-of-view shot is pretty boring. Try a shot from in front of you while sitting or reclining (Gerard pro-tip: If you have abs, this works particularly well). In general, getting your legs/thighs involved in the image is a good idea - this might be in the form of framing the *ahem* main attraction or making your pic just a bit more mysterious by partially blocking certain *areas.*
-Finally, talk with your sextmate and see what they're into. Firing off sexts at will is an amateur mistake. The quid pro quo approach is usually a solid one, and try to make a game of it. The "send me pics of what you'd like to see of me" is a fun method. Having a bank of images to pull from is very helpful in getting the ball rolling, and from there it's easy. Be sure to be vocal about what you want, coy or demanding as the situation requires, and you'll have a great time.

Weekend Wine Pairing: Chicken Curry with Cashews paired with…
Over the weekend, you could place an order for take-out, or spice it up in your own kitchen and try making some chicken curry with cashews. Although you may need to stock up on some spices (which you'll probably use again down the road), this dish is relatively easy to prepare. Tape up your wrists because layers of flavor will jump off your fork and deliver a kick to your taste buds. Speaking of foods with some kick, we've paired some wines for you to try under the recipe below. Enjoy!
Chicken Curry with Cashews
- 1/8 cup unsalted butter
- 2 onions (finely chopped 2 cups)
- 2 large garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp peeled fresh ginger (finely chopped)
- 3 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 3 1/2 to 4 lb chicken (cut into 10 serving pieces)
- 1 diced tomatoes (ounce)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 3/4 cup cashews (1/4 pound)
- 3/4 cup milk (plain whole-milk yogurt)
- fresh cilantro (chopped)
- Heat butter in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes
- Add curry powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring, 2 minutes
- Add chicken and cook, stirring to coat, 3 minutes
- Add tomatoes, including juice, and cilantro and bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes
(If making ahead, see cooks' note, below)
Just before serving:
- Pulse cashews in a food processor or electric coffee/spice grinder until very finely ground, then add to curry along with yogurt and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes
- Cooks' note: Curry, without yogurt and cashews, can be made 5 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered
- Reheat over low heat before stirring in yogurt and ground cashews
Wine Pairings for Chicken Curry with Cashews
Riesling (REEZ-ling): A semi-sweet wine with peach & citrus
Pouilly-Fuissé (poo-yee fwee-SAY): Dry wine with a flinty taste & nutty aroma
Chablis (shab-BLEE): A dry white with lemon and pepper balanced by vanilla, pineapple, and spicy oak flavor
Have a great weekend.

After 4 seasons at Appalachian State, the school announced today that they will not renew the contract of men's head basketball coach Jason Capel.
In his tenure with the Mountaineers, Capel went 53-70 including a 9-21 record this past season. In 4 years as head coach, the Mountaineers went 32-38 in Southern Conference play.
His best year was his first year when the Mountaineers went 16-15 and 10-8 in SoCon play. The next 2 season, his teams would go 13-18 and 15-16.
Appalachian State was Capel's first head coaching job. He spent the previous year as an assistant with the Mountaineers under Buzz Peterson and that was his first and only year as an assistant coach.
This is the final season for Appalachian State in the Southern Conference as they will move to the Sun Belt Conference next season.

We were so busy launching and tuning Elixr that I almost forgot to tell you guys about it! The Mobelux team has been designing and developing Elixr for the past few months and we couldn't be happier with our 1.0.
I'm thrilled to see that people are not only using Elixr, but really understanding the reason behind it. There were a few decent ways to catalog the drinks that you were having, but nothing comprehensive that was letting you share those experiences. And while sharing is core to Elixr, there's much more than that under the surface. Every time you post and rate a drink you're helping to build a world-wide database of the best places to enjoy a drink, whether it's a hand-crafted Old Fashioned or the newest Ale from Dogfish Head.
Elixr is free and available on the App Store now. You can learn more about it here. I'd love to hear what you think.
I thought I'd wrap up Carousel's anniversary week with a post about creating the icon. It was definitely one of the highlights of working on Carousel over the past year.
It was important to me that the icon feel at home on the Dock next to icons I appreciated and used every day. At the time there was a string of games that were iOS ports popping up in the Mac App Store. The icons for those games were all pulled right out of the iOS bundle and recycled for their OS X counterpart. The thought of anyone filling their Dock with round rects was petrifying so I was very committed to making the icon for Carousel feel like it belonged on the Mac.
Once the direction was set for the Carousel icon I started working up a few sketches before moving into development on the main form.
Once I had a few decent thumbnails it was time to gather up some photos of authentic samples to work from. My main sources of inspiration were these three Kodak projectors:
I chose later versions of the projector because while wonderful in their own quirky way, Kodak's early Carousel projectors from the 60's were a little clunky looking. As time passed the revisions to the projector cleaned up the form quite a bit and leaned closer toward the plasticky aesthetic I was hoping to capture. These photos of the hard-shelled mid-70's Carousels did the trick. They almost looked like toys which I thought would translate wonderfully to a Mac icon. After getting all the source material together it was time to get to work. The only issue? I'd never made an icon for the Mac before.
Usually I go right from sketches to Photoshop when I work up an iOS icon. This time, however, the forms involved in what I was envisioning were too complicated to whip together out of shape paths. That meant it was time to turn to an old friend. I have quite a bit of experience from a past life modeling in Maya so I was able to build a simple wireframe pretty quick.
Hrm. While proportional to a real-life unit, there were quite a few issues with the first render. It was squat, looked like it was hovering and the materials left quite a bit to be desired. Furthermore, the perspective was off. After a few conversations and a little playing around it became apparent that the solution was to make it look more like a toy. There were a few things that worked. The body color was on the right approach, implying a connection with Instagram's icon and the purple lens tied in to Apple's new affinity with space themes in OS X. I ended up removing the bezel frame to reduce visual complexity, made the whole model taller and made the lens, adjustment knobs and handles almost comically large. Another key to getting the model to feel right was adjusting the camera angle of view from the standard 35º to roughly 12º. The net effect was that the model gained a lot of character and stature.
It still lacked depth, though. The color was pale. The lens had no life to it. The slide carousel reflections weren't strong enough. From here I did a final render boosted to production settings and jumped over to Photoshop. A few blend layer effects really brought out the detail in the slide carousel and it didn't take much to liven up the body color and the lens. Next up were the fine details, like the casting lines, Carousel embossment (in Futura Bold, of course) and the lens lettering. Finally, a multi-depth shadow lifted the model off the surface and completed the look.
I had a lot of fun making the Carousel icon. The icing on the cake was being asked to have it in The Icon Handbook by Jon Hicks late last year. It was quite a thrill getting to see my icon on its own page opposite the icon for Unison, an icon that I absolutely love. Hopefully I'll have to opportunity to craft up more Mac app icons in the future.
Looking at the end product it's impossible to know the journey that the designer took, to appreciate what went into it. You don't know about the constraints, the compromises, or external forces that shaped the design before you. Certainly the end user is not going to be privy to those details either, but as a designer critquing the work of another designer you should know there is more to it. No one is trying to make shitty software. They're doing the best they can with the constraints they're given and the talent they have. Not everyone is a maestro. Maybe these folks are just beginners. Is that how we welcome them into the fold? The point is, they're making something. That's awesome.
Remember, it's rare to see contempt from a software designer or developer towards users. Most people making software are doing the best they can making something for you to use.
In Australia, we have this thing called "cultural cringe." I could go on and on for ages about the origins of this phenomena, but that's why we have Wikipedia. Simply put, it's when a society thinks pieces of culture (movies, fashion, ideas, art) are inherently better when produced overseas, and locally grown culture develops an inferiority complex. Other countries have it, but we're much better at it here in Australia — stupid-crazy-good at it.
A few weeks ago, while being advertised to at full volume in a movie theater that I paid to be in, an Outback commercial played across the screen. One of my friends leaned over and said "we're going to look back at these ads and be appalled at how racist they were".
He's right. Well, racist may be the correct term, but you get the idea (culturist?). Blaring didgeridoos. Silhouetted kangaroos. Blown out accents and safari jumpsuits. A flurry of boomerangs.
This is the world image of Australia. Cultural cringe indeed. That's why I was surprised to see how Brand Australia decided to redesign the country's overarching identity campaign:
Boomerangs? Really? I mean, it's definitely clever with the allusion to an Australian map and all, but is this really the way to make a clean break for a country that's been so completely stereotyped?
Might as well just throw another shrimp on the barbie, mate.

OMG! Seriously pads and tampons should be free to all women because it's not something we want to buy and they're so ridiculously expensive we're down like 20 bucks every month which adds to about $240 a year and we have to spend it and guys don't and it's not our fault so they should be free.
We should just stop buying them and bleed on everything they love.

Carney | May 10, 2013 | 12:00 am Nobody should be surprised that President Obama's Internal Revenue Service targeted Tea Party groups. This is clearly corrupt and an abuse of power, but it's what we should expect, given the nature of tax laws. Tax-exempt status works on two levels: for the individual and for the group. In both cases, there are problems with the fact that the individuals and the groups need to claim tax-exempt...

No one calls back. They don't follow through and do what they say they are going to do. I'm out. Switching my direct deposit to a bank that has time for the little guy.
I wouldn't even give it one star. Worst and most stupid bank ever, starting with online banking transaction history and ending with managers' awareness of how the computer system works. Simply stealing money from customers. A manager of the branch i bank with was trying to convince me it was my fault for getting overdraft fees while it was not because the check was put on hold and i was not given a notice of hold they usually give. And having that manager would not waive the fees. And then got $35 fee for a $4 overdraft... Don't they make enough money on their customers with the international wire transfer fee of $30? And a lady on the phone told me i had to put money same day... 10pm really? With no atm accepting money for deposit making it available right away? Definitely switching and never coming back. Just sooo disappointed and frustrated... And forgot to mention you'd never know from online what you were given an overdraft for and you'd know about the fee not the next day after you account was overdrawn but a day later - and it's their policy - the most stupid thing i've dealt with and it's an absolute mess!
The bank does not transfer money from personal accounts to business accounts then charges poverdraft fee after overdraft fee.
When you close a joint checking account it's not really closed. It remains open 30 days plus! past closing date. You will be charged for any withdrawals made on your closed account. The bank employees tell us that even though our account is closed it still remains active. You can still be charged for any charges made against your account. So is the account ever really closed? We will never really know?
We had both a business checking account and a joint checking account with citizens since 1998. Since first merit took over the service has been horrible. My husband and i have been talking about changing banks because how unhappy we have been with them. Yesterday i went to put a check in our joint account and they told me the account was closed, that they had closed it. I think it is wrong when they do something like this without letting people know this is happening. We put through over $150,000 in our business account a year. Yesterday was the final draw. They have now lost our business account and will never get a good review from us. I know a local store that would have money missing from their money drops when multiple people would count this money at the store together before doing the drop. Money was always turning up missing. This bank was very upset when the employees started coming in opening the drop, counting it out to them and making them count it back. No problems with money missing after this started. You go anywhere around town and you always here people who are unhappy with this back and are pulling their money out. I would laugh after using this bank for months now because they were always asking me to refer people to them. How is this referral do not use this bank ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They only have one star because i need to do this to get this review to go through.
As like the other reviews the customer service is horrible. This bank has the most ridiculous strict modification i have known! You can use the mobile app for anything but to check your balance. You can't make check deposits from your phone unless you are a customer for 30 days. You can't log onto the website and email your bank statement to yourself. You can only download and print. I ordered 3 debit cards. Never received either one! I needed to overdraft my acct by only 20$ i was told i can't because i have to be a customer for at least 90 days! Stupid bank! I hate it. Closed my account after 1 month with these jokers!
Beware. I told First Merit I would begin a campaign of writing this review to warn the public of their unethical practice. I own a small business and do fairly well. During a three month period, I was taking care of my ill mother only to return to a statement showing First Merit had withdrawn what money I had in my account because it was dormant for 90 days. I could not believe it. They stole my money in the name of an 'inactive fee' and closed my account. I asked if this would have been my son or daughter who couldn't get to the bank and was leaving their money in the account, would it also happen to them? They said it is their policy. DO NOT USE THIS BANK. I was very disappointed and shocked that a bank could steal your money like this. They said it is in your contract. Unbelievable.
We were citizens customers for over 30 years, and we were satisfied, website was easy, customer service was decent, no issues. When fm took over, online access was awful, and so was customer service, finally we decided to change banks, transferred direct deposit to a credit union. We pulled out $20 here and there from our fm account, our last time was april 7.. Then we decided to close it and take out the remaining $ ($23) and when we tried they took the money... And said it was due to inactivity?? Back in the day they would send that money to the state as unclaimed, and that was after a year........ But 90 days?? I just got off the phone, they said when they merged from citizens they sent out little "booklets" of there new rules, i said oh, the ones that take a day and a half to read that "nobody does"? And i also asked if this is a bank wide policy... She said she didn't know if any other banks are doing it. She said the fee was $25 for non activity 90 days.. We had $23 so i guess we got a $2 discount... (lol) the call ended with me telling her how convenient it is to make there own laws/rules and throw them in a little "booklet" that i can assume is 100 pages long with 1000 words per page that you can barely see. And she said they do not have to send out notices. Way to take advantage of your customers
Worst bank EVER!! I've had my account there for four years now. I originally went with them because of their free checking. Let me tell you..NOT WORTH IT!! Charges after charges after charges. My insurance company took a double payment on both my car and home by accident. I deposited the money to cover their mistake on THE SAME DAY they did it. Got hit with two overdraft fees that they will not reverse! My insurance company has since corrected their mistake but First Merit will not take back their two fees! I have been dealing with similar situations and their crappy customer service and inane rules for too long. I've graduated college now. I have a better job and I'm taking my money somewhere else. I wish I had done more research when choosing a bank because now that I'm looking around it seems majority of their customers hate them. I would NEVER recommend First Merit to anyone!...EVER!!
This bank is just horrid!!! I loved citizens bank but now that it has become first merit I have been hit by fee after fee after fee. Its to the point of being ridiculous. Never ever ever get an account at this bank.
Ever since I started my First merit accounts I have been hit with fees of all sorts. The latest incident just occurred today. I try to keep a meticulous checking account record because I live paycheck to paycheck and I usually come down to a few dollars between transactions approaching payday. This week I was a day off. Probably lost due to overtime work this holiday weekend. They state that at the end of the business day I was overdrawn 148.00 due to four transactions (One being for $8.00). At midnight I had nearly $2000.00 deposited from work. The next day they charged me $140.00 in fees after they processed a $2000.00 deposit. For their overdraft protections they require you to have a savings account or credit card with them. I moved my savings account to another bank because of poor, inconsiderate staff at my local branch, so I don't even qualify for their overdraft protection. There were several earlier instances of poor customer service leading me to leave with my savings. One was where I wanted to deposit my son's tax return check into our checking account after we gave him the cash because he was switching to an out of state bank. they would not accept the check unless he deposited into his own account. He didn't even have an account at First Merit. They said he needed to open one. It was a tax return check. Endorsed by my son and I and to top it all off my son was standing next to me to verify that it was stolen or such. The lady was rude and I immediately withdrew my savings and went down the street where we opened an account and had no problems with the deposit.
I never had a problem with online banking at Citizens. Now, I keep getting "locked out" because of their stupidity.
Yesterday I tried to transfer funds from one account to another. Their "transfer" button is gone. We had to drive to the branch to do it.
The local employees are great - all are holdovers from Citizens. If a mistake is made, it is always my fault -- never theirs.
Yeah, I got their "confidential" survey within a week, the whole town knew what I said.
I have a mortgage that started with Citizens snd now is held by First Merit. I love in Canada and make my monthly payment from my US dollar account drwn on a Canadian Bank, as I have done for the past 10 years. I am now being charged $5 each time I make my payment, without any notification that I would be charged this fee. Not only that, I have a very small checking account that the fees have been taken out of and the balance taken for and "inactivity fee"!
The name on the account has also changed to be only my ex-husband instead of for us jointly. The person at First Merit said it was because the loan is in his name. Not so! It is a joint loan, but I don't show up anywhere.
This bank has no interest in taking care of its customers. It is only about getting fees. Don't bank with them.
I moved to this bank due to the location from work and home. I did review fees and other important info. Going back over this past year, I have spent little over $550 in fees alone. This morning as I deposited some in checking I was advised of $10 for statement form, which I only do online statements and fees non-merit bank activity. Never had this before. So they charged me $35 addition because I was overdrawn. I talked to admin, but was talked to as a child. I have been given fees to go negative so I could be charged again for being overdrawn. I have never had so much trouble with a bank. It's all about the money, not the little guy.
I'm pulling my $50k and going back to my old bank.
I'm not going to waste a ton more time explaining the whole situation, but if you are considering banking with First Merit, don't. The branches are okay (depending on your branch of course) but they don't have any authority. All the authority goes through Ohio, and they could care less about their customers other than the dollar signs. This is the most paranoid bank I've ever run across, constantly calling to verify if you've actually made transactions. Constantly asking you how you are spending your money. Requiring incredibly tedious log in verification, etc.
It's too bad too because Citizens was a good bank before they bought them. The whole switchover from Citizens was a disaster too. Choose literally any other bank and you'll be happier.
It's such a pain to switch banks, but they've aggravated me to the point that I have to.
We are not new to mortgages by any means. As we enjoy our local branch of First Merit Bank, we were curious to see about refinancing our mortgage.
Our mortgage contact in Bolingbrook, IL was the worst from the start. She would rarely return our calls, (but needed everything on her end "right away!") didn't show up for the closing. They didn't let us know that the title company wasn't coming either, so we showed up and waited for more than an hour for nothing. She even lied about our numbers to "get the load through". I wrote to the President and he actually sent me back an insulting, 3 page letter defending her! Yes, the President of the Mortgage Company!
Fine. She lied. The President doesn't care because he got our business. We got a ridiculously low rate and that's what we wanted. Lesson learned.
That was in the past (2013). Now for yet another bad surprise because our First Merit Mortgage person "fudged numbers" on our loan, we just got a letter (March 2014) stating our escrow account is about $2,000 short (about 6 months of taxes she left out of the original documents which was part of the lie I wrote the President about!) and that our payment just went up by $150 a month (about a 16.5% increase in our monthly payment!).
20 years of mortgages, including 3 refinanced, and we have never been more than about $100-$200 short on escrow. But we've never dealt with this corrupt group before, either.
While I'd recommend our local branch for everyday "personal banking" because of the people there, I'd suggest running from any mortgage pitch from First Merit Bank.
If the mortgage person can lie about the numbers and the President of the Mortgage Group defends her actions without even speaking to us, and then the customer gets screwed. Why on God's green earth would you want to go with such a shady mortgage department?
Yes, find another mortgage company. No matter who else you go with, you'll be glad you did.
The people in customer serv. ( mobile banking)seem to have the attitude that they are talking to someone that knows absolutely nothing. Their attitude seems to be that they are far more superior than the customer. It should have stayed Citizens First. The local bank people are very good with customer serv. The corporate customer serv. needs an attitude adjustment.
We have been extremely unhappy with First Merit ever since Citizens changed to First Merit. Additional procedures are inconvenient, online system is worse and not user-friendly, waiting times for deposits are worse. If it continues to go downhill, we will definitely be changing banks. It was funny when I pointed out the sign at the counter stating that you will notice no changes once we switch to First Merit and it will be seamless. They seem to care more about their procedures than their customers now. It didn't used to be that way with Citizens Bank.
Bad Mortgage practises I had 2 personal 30 year loans with First Merit Bank and I was paying on time and never late on any payments. I also had a line of credit on my business. My business was falling into some hard time do to the recession. The loan matured in July 2013 and I tried so hard to work with them to reschedule it but it fell onto deaf ears and finally they decided to mature all my loans and asked me to pay all the mortgages Plus a lot of late fees which added up to about $118000.00 which I did not have so I had to sell one of my properties for less than half of what I bought it for and borrow money from every mortgage company under the sun with really high interest rates and they where really mean and nasty to me and all they where interested in is to foreclose on my properties which I worked so hard to acquire. First Merit is the worst bank you can deal with and I would not recommend anybody to trust them with their financing. While the government was bailing all these banks out and giving them all kind of grants and free money which they kept for themselves and went after the little people like me to destroy there financing and repo everything they worked so hard for .
My Mother just recently passed away and had her checking & savings accounts at First Merit. The checking account was in both of our names but the savings wasn't listed with my name. I'm sure it was an oversight that wasn't caught on her part, she was 80 yrs old. When I went to log onto her online banking to check the balance of her account and view transactions(I had to know what was paid and what wasn't to keep her accounts current till I knew what was going on)I got locked out. So I called the customer service line and was on hold forever till I finally got a rude woman who promptly told me that there was nothing I could do and basically good luck. Then she transferred me to another person (maybe a supervisor?) who also told me that since I was only on one account they couldn't give me any information. Ok, I understand that. However, I had a copy of the death certificate, the will, the obit as well as the power of attorney for her estate. It took me three different calls before I finally got someone on the phone that simply told me that I could create my own online profile to view the account I was on. Now why couldn't someone have told me that first off? I know it's simple but I was just dealing with the loss of my only family and was not thinking clearly.
So after gaining access to her checking account I noticed charges for .25$ each time she had used her debit card. After some research I found out that First Merit has FREE DEBIT transactions!! Why was she charged?? THEN, after speaking with my attorney I was informed that I could use her atm card to transfer the funds from her savings account to her checking and withdrawal those funds. Since I am the only heir and am the executor of her estate this shouldn't be an issue. Well this bank must have locked the account because I can't transfer or withdrawal funds. WHY? I can use the atm card to make purchases and withdrawal funds but canâ??t transfer between accounts? Useless bank that at the first chance I will NEVER do business with again!
I tried to make a deposit at a First Merit branch ATM using my Citizens bank card. I kept getting a message saying "Transaction Incomplete, would you like to make another." When I tried again, I got the same message. So I called First Merit and was placed on hold for half an hour. When I finally spoke to someone, she told me that all the Citizen Bank cards were cancelled at the time of the merger. That was last October, but I received no notice of the cancellation. I can get a new ATM card at any branch, but there will be a one dollar a month "maintenance fee." A fee for using a service that should save the bank time and money!! The only reason I will go to one of the branches will be to withdraw my funds so I can deposit them with another bank.
I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with for the longest time i could not check my balance on my iphone between midnight and 3am. After, almost a year it was fixed. It was a huge annoyance. If i'm out at a bar I was not able to check my balance at all. A vital necessity for any college student. Now the deposit check section of the app does not work. Customer service and the bank are no help at all in explaining why it doesn't work. I'll reach the part where you take a picture of the back of the check and it just crashes. I went to the ATM today in the morning and the atm was out of service. Came back after work at 6pm and it was still broken. It's such a joke, it's the only atm on the tallmadge circle. It should of immediately been fixed. Everytime i go to the bank, i am never greeted or thanked. Last time i was there i was in line and a customer and a teller started arguing, it was so embarrassing. They were arguing about the stupidest thing to.. Apparently the customer joined the business line but there was only one teller so he was expected to join the main bank line. I remember it was around 1pm.. Should a bank be run with one teller at this time? I'm currently looking for another bank to take my money. I've banked with many banks.. including banks in the caribbean. This is the worst bank that i have ever been a part of. I took the time to write this review just for the sole reason that i am tired of them pissing me off.
The bank's employees are brain dead.. seriously. They are lazy and uneducated.
Think twice before you open an account there. You cannot close it for 120 days because they have a penalty in there policy. Watch for hidden fees.!
Fees are exhorbant, convenience is non-existent, tellers are slow and often rude. It took more than 43 minutes to get a cashiers check one day, and there're wasn't another customer in the bank! in addition, I asked a teller for a balance after making a deposit last week, the woman looked at me and said in a short tone, "well we don't normally do that but I will today". Holy cow...I asked the woman for my balance after making a deposit, i didn't ask her to try and split atoms in a laboratory!
Whatever group of Citizens Bank executives who approved or inked the sale to First Merit should be shot! A bank this size should have better service and not seem like a generic institution as it does to most people I've talked to. Try and find a good review for First Merit somewhere, a positive review from a non-employee!
I am moving my business and personal accounts and so is my son. We gave them a few months to get their act together after Citizens sold to First Merit, it hasn't happened and I don't it will.
So long Citizens Bank, you will be missed. Good ridens First Merit....terrible all the way around!
I have been working on getting a renovation loan for nearly five months. I have had THREE different loan officers assigned to me within that time (the first one who told us we were almost done with the process quit, the next one was put on "special assignment" (which is code for he needs more training before we have to fire him), and this last one has the personality and customer service equivalent to a piece of wood and is completely disorganized. I have NEVER had a more frustrating experience with a business in my life. Instead of telling us what they needed up front, we had to do everything piece meal and finally this last guy told us that we probably wouldn't get the loan AFTER spending a huge amount of time and money getting quotes and paying for estimates. He had most of this information to apparently come to this conclusion nearly two months ago. Unbelievable. We will most likely lose the house now. Calling headquarters on Tuesday and moving my accounts elsewhere. Ask questions, demand a checklist up front detailing what they need so they are not wasting your time. Or better yet, go elsewhere...
And, we had a situation this summer with a credit card not getting to us before we had to leave the country for a few weeks. We had applied nearly a month in advance and still didn't have it when we left. Received some cavalier response from the bank manager with no apology ("oh well"). This is after she promised it would be to us well in time and I had followed up multiple times. I would have gone elsewhere had I known there would be such a huge delay.
In addition, their online banking is a pain. Just a strange set up with login's. Moving on after banking with them for over 10 years. Sad.
In July 2012, after my divorce, my mail was supposed to be forwarded to my new address, In error, the post office failed to forward some mail and my ex-husband got his hands on a check for over $2000.00 that belonged to me. He forged my name and cashed it at 1st Merit. As soon as I discovered this, I got a copy of the check, filed a police report and reported the fraud to the bank. They did all the paperwork, had me sign the documents and forwarded them to Fraud division of 1st Merit.
Month after month passed, I called over and over to the 1st bank rep that took the original complaint, and all I got was, "We'll contact Fraud and have them call you." Then a new person became the contact, but I only got the same thing.
So I did some research and found out the name and phone # of the person in Fraud assigned to the case. By now appx. 5 months have passed and I find she has never even investigated the case nor has anyone contacted me one time from there. She did not want to admit it but she doesn't even know where the file information is. She finally asked me to send her another copy of the forged check, I did. But after 5 months, if this is not resolved very soon, I will be initiating an investigation into the bank's practices. They forget somebody regulates them, too! I want him jailed and my money back.
Horrible online banking experience. They do not have a running balance so it is hard to balance checkbook. I had a loan through citizens that was transferred. First merit took it upon themselves to stop my monthly loan payments so that they could accrue more interest. I had to override their payment system and setup my own monthly payments. Now, the online statement only shows current balance and does not have any detail about my monthly history. I have also used their web app for depositing checks with my i-phone. It charges me $0.50 per check. Citizens never charged for this. I am switching to another bank. Too bad citizens is gone.
I wish you were allowed to give a rank of zero. One seems way too generous. I always had great service at Citizens Bank and had several accounts there. Three months of statements for my business account has vanished and every time I call customer disservice I'm on hold for 20-33 minutes. Horrible bank!
I have been with this Bank for almost 4 years now. The customer service with the reps is outstanding, they are so caring and listen to you and try to help you in every way possible. They are a cut above the rest when it comes to the numerous banks I have been to around the country. The counter service personnel really are mostly unfriendly a crew, some of them do not seem to speak English, but even if you don't you can still gracefully smile, because that job is customer service. However, there are gems in this group, some of them are friendly and smile. There are also those who don't realize that their job is customer service, they need to socialize without repercussions. Hopefully in 2014 they would all be retrained on how to smile and be helpful and speak English as well.
Since First Merit took over our branch from Citizens Bank, it's been one problem after another, but the worst by far is their online banking system. There is no running balance so you can see a problem if they say there is one, debits appear then disappear. It takes them a very long time to deduct online bills paid through their system. If you over draft and something seems off, there's really no way to see if that's so, since many transactions are not visible. It's an absolute mess compared to Citizens very transparent and up to date system. We're out of this bank as soon as we can be. I feel like this set up is designed to keep the customers confused and that makes it very easy to make costly mistakes to the benefit of the bank. I miss Citizens.

The Intramural Sports Department will not hold spots.
The forfeit deposit of $25/team must be paid at time of the captains meeting. The acceptable forms of payment are cash only!
Schedules for league play will be posted on the IM Leagues and will be available generally 2-4 days before your league is scheduled to start.
Please feel free to contact the Campus Recreation Office or the Intramural Coordinator, Carl Birch with any questions or concerns at 910-814-5513.
GENERAL PROCEDURESPlease use the Rules and Regulation Manual as a resource throughout the year. If you are team captain, please inform your players of all of the guidelines in the handbook BEFORE your first contest.
2. IDENTIFICATION: All participants must bring their current valid Campbell University identification card to the field area in order to be checked in and ruled eligible to participate prior to the beginning of each game. Late arriving players must sign in with a supervisor before entering the game.3. TEAMS: Six (6) players constitute a team Co-Rec team; Five (5) players consist of a Men's/Women's team. A game may be started with no less than four (4) players per team. In Co-Rec divisions, the male to female ratio may be: 3:3, 2:3, or 2:2.
PLAYING THE GAME4. TIME: Teams will play a best of 7 series to determine a winner. When one team is down to 3 players left, both teams will shrink the court to the volleyball lines (blue lines) for the remainder of the game. 2 minutes will be put on the clock when each team has 1 player left (1 vs. 1).
5. STARTING EACH GAME: The game will begin with four (4) balls lined up on the mid-court line. Also, each team will be given one (1) ball. The player that has the ball must hold the ball up so all the players know who has it. Players are to begin with both feet behind the end line of the basketball court.6. BOUNDARIES: When players are out, they will need to stay at the end line on their half of the court and not on the sidelines. Players can go into the stands to retrieve the balls, but need to do it in a safe manor and stay on their half of the stands. A player shall not:
• Have any part of their body contact the playing surface on or over the sideline when playing inside the volleyball courts.
• Leave the playing field to avoid being hit by a ball.
• Have any part of their body cross the center line and contact ground on opponent's side of court.
i. Penalty for the above: The player is declared out.
ii. Exception: During the open rush.
• EXAMPLE: Following the opening whistle, a player rushes and is the first to secure a ball from the center line. That player must carry or pass the ball into their backcourt before it may be legally thrown at an opponent.
• REACHING OVER THE LINE: is not allowed on the opening rush or at all!
8. ELIMINATING OPPONENTS: Players can be eliminated the following ways:
• Hitting a player with a ball below the neck. Note: If a player ducks, and this is clearly the cause for the player being hit above the shoulders, the player is out and the throw is legal.
• Catching a thrown ball from the opposing team. Eliminated players may return at any time if one of their teammates catches a thrown ball.
10. BALL HITTING PLAYER THEN CAUGHT: If a thrown ball legally hits an opponent, and is then caught by another member of the opposing team, then the ball is dead and the player who was hit is out. If the ball legally hits you, you bobble the ball and catch it in the same motion, you are not out. The opposing player who threw the ball is out.11. BALL HITTING WALL/GROUND – If, while in the air, the ball hits any wall, or if a thrown ball should hit the ground prior to hitting an opponent, than that opponent is NOT eliminated.
12. BALL HITTING A PLAYER THAT IS ALREADY OUT – If a player is "out" and upon walking out is hit the ball is dead. This means that if the ball is deflected and hits someone they are still IN and if the ball is caught the player that threw the ball is also still IN.13. TRAPPING THE BALL – If a player traps the ball against the wall or bleachers the ball is dead – no one is eliminated.
14. KICKING THE BALL – No player can kick the ball at anytime.15. DELAY OF GAME – A team may not hold all of the balls for more than 5 seconds. If this occurs, a warning will be issued by the official and the team will be forced to throw/roll/give at least one of the balls to the opposing team and not just across the line.
16. WINNING A GAME: A team wins the game when all players on the opposing team are eliminated. If the time limit occurs, the team with the most players remaining wins. If the time limit occurs and teams are even, play continues as is with the mid-court division line "disappearing," until one player is eliminated. (The first team to get one of their opponents out after the time limit occurs will be declared the winner.)17. WINNING THE MATCH: The team who wins four (4) games first wins the match (Best-of-7).
SPORTSMANSHIP18. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT: Any unsportsmanlike conduct including, but not limited to, arguments with officials (the captain is the only player permitted to talk with the officials) by any coach, manager or spectator, flagrant fouling, fighting, etc. will result in expulsion of that individual and/or team from further participation in that scheduled game. Officials/supervisors have the authority to impose penalties for teams behaving in an unsportsmanlike manner.

Take a step back into an 80's Arcade with WIXX and play MANY of the over 80 games at the Neville Museum's "Golden Age of Video Games" exhibit on Tues. 8/6 at 6pm! We'll be dimming the lights, playing 80's music and you even have a chance to win prizes if you dress up in your 80's gear!
Listen to win tickets on WIXX. Here's more about the exhibit:
The Golden Age of Video Arcade Games from the Collection of Bradley Czech
Sat, May 25, 2013 - Mon, Sep 2, 2013
This exhibition gives you an opportunity to take a trip back in time and visit an Arcade during the height of their popularity. With titles like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Frogger, the phenomenon would evolve into a multi-billion dollar industry. This integral part of popular culture would inspire everything from lunchboxes to sleeping bags, to top 40 songs and popular TV shows. The Golden Age was a time of great technical and design creativity, and these games would go on to change the face of the entertainment world.
The development of much more advanced home gaming systems as well as a number of other factors lead to the eventual demise of most Arcades. Game manufacturers dried up, and the industry as a whole collapsed. Today, actual Arcades and the classic games within them are all but lost… until now.
This exhibition allows you to view the popular games of the time. Arcade enthusiast Bradley Czech brings one of the most extensive and elite collections in the midwest to our galleries. With over 80 original dedicated machines, it's sure to bring you back to the sights and sounds of the Arcades of yesteryear. Come reminisce about your favorite Arcade memories or pass them along to your children.
The Golden Age of Video Arcade Games is sponsored by the Byron L. Walter Family Trust, Schneider National Foundation, Inc., Local 5 WFRV TV, the Cornerstone Foundation of Northeastern Wisconsin, Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Travel.
Thanks also to the David R. Charles Sr. Family Foundation, Inc., the Lux Foundation, Dr. Richard and Ellen Horak, the Norman L. Jensen Trust, the Kaap Charitable Trust, Pomp's Tire Service, K.C. Stock Foundation and the Neville Art Guild for their support.

Politicians for saleOctober 09,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
Nearly four years after its controversial ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court is once again taking up the issue of the regulation of money in politics. This time, the risk to the integrity of elected officials, and public confidence in government, may be even greater.
On Tuesday, the court is scheduled to hear oral argument in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, in which an Alabama businessman, Shaun McCutcheon, challenges the constitutionality of the overall cap on contributions an individual may make directly to federal candidates, party committees and political action committees in each two-year election cycle.
McCutcheon says this limit currently set at $123,200 violates his First Amendment right to free speech. The government argues that the overall limit, together with the $5,200 limit on an individuals donations to a particular candidate, works to prevent political corruption, as well as the appearance of corruption.
The limits were enacted by Congress in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. In a 1976 case, Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court struck down limits on campaign spending, but upheld the limits on direct political contributions. Since then, the court has upheld every federal contribution limit that has come before it.
McCutcheon contends that striking down the overall limit would not undermine protections against corruption since an individual would still be bound by the per-candidate limits. But this ignores the reality of modern campaign finance, in which politicians and party committees solicit large sums from individual donors, and then funnel the money through fundraising committees to particular candidates. Without the current cap, the government argues, a single donor could give up to $3.6 million to a partys political candidates and committees in an election cycle.
The very wealthiest Americans already have disproportionate influence: in the 2012 election, 1,219 donors reached or nearly reached the overall limit, and together they were responsible for giving $155 million to federal races. One study, by Demos and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, projected that without the overall limit in place, those donors would have contributed nearly triple that amount or 50 percent more than President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney received from all small donors combined. This is significant because a recent report by political science researchers showed that the wealthy differ significantly from ordinary Americans in their policy preferences. For example, job creation is consistently the top priority for most Americans, but among the wealthiest, the budget deficit is the most pressing problem.
Sensible contribution limits do not limit speech. As the court recognized in the Buckley case, they are a quite modest restraint that help prevent evasion of the per-candidate limit. An individual like McCutcheon may still say whatever he wants, and after Citizens United, he may spend all he would like on independent campaign-related messages.
The nations founders understood the threat of corruption in politics and were preoccupied with combating it. The government should be dependent on the great body of the people, James Madison wrote, and not an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it. If the court is going to help protect American politics from becoming little more than a disagreement among rich people, as one observer put it, it should follow its own precedent and uphold the overall contribution limit.MORE IN CommentaryWith regard to the article in the paper, Lawsuit: Trooper illegally seized car by Josh...

UNDATED (WHTC) -- Memorial Day originated after the Civil War to honor both Union and Confederate soldiers who had died. It is now a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in all U.S. wars. Many people visit memorials and cemeteries. Several parades on Memorial Day along the Lakeshore end with ceremonies at local cemeteries. The Zeeland Parade begins at 9 a.m. and is followed by a ceremony at the Lincoln Street Cemetery. The parade in Holland gets started at 9:30 a.m. ending with a memorial at Pilgrim Home Cemetery. Parades are also scheduled in Saugatuck and Jenison.

Why the Nazis feared modern art
The recent discovery in Munich of what are reported to be more than 1,500 major artworks confiscated or banned by the Nazis is a reminder of how totalitarian regimes tend to view art as so dangerous a potential adversary as any enemy army. In the case of the Nazis, that view was entirely in keeping with the central irony of the Third Reich's benighted rule, which claimed to be saving European civilization at the very moment it was destroying it. Today, the same irrational hatred and fear of art can be found among the jihadists of the Taliban, al-Qaida and other Islamist extremists, along with the same consequences for their societies.

First Class Tax Services
We take the stress out of tax time!
The First Class Financial Group is pleased to announce the establishment of a new division, First Class Tax Services, to complement the services provided by your First Class Accounts bookkeeper.
With our team of registered tax agents our services include:-
- Individual and partnership tax returns, covering
- Rental property
- Investments
- Business income for sole traders
- Contractors
- Trusts
- Companies
- Self-Managed Superannuation Funds
While we specialise in small to medium sized businesses, it is also advantageous for us to complete the tax returns for the business proprietors, their family trusts, and investment entities. Company employees may also avail themselves of our services.
With the increasing complexity of tax regulations and the individual tax return form, it is highly recommended that this task be assigned to a professional tax agent. Individuals who prepare their own returns may be unaware of entitlements or overlook declaring certain forms of income. The potential refund, or, on the other hand, penalty, can justify the professional service and save your own time and effort.
For businesses, our services include the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements. Given that a First Class Accounts expert bookkeeper is attending to your ongoing bookkeeping requirements, no doubt including the preparation of your Business Activity Statements, our tax agents will benefit from the reliable year-end data files your bookkeeper will be able to provide. That translates to efficiencies and cost-savings.
For Self-Managed Super Funds, we can also undertake the requisite audit if so required.
We can also assist in the preparation of Fringe Benefits Tax returns.
And we can assist if you are concerned that you are behind in the lodgment of prior years' returns, or if an amendment to a prior return is needed.
So why not ask your First Class Accounts bookkeeper to arrange for a quote for the services you require.

Club legend Duncan Ferguson has agreed to take part in a bumper hour-long LIVE webchat on evertonfc.com.
The striker, idolised by generations of supporters, will be online from 4pm on Wednesday, November 30, to answer your questions.
Ferguson is currently back at the Club he served with immense passion and pride to help out with coaching at the Blues Academy.
The modern-day terrace hero was named an Everton Giant at the 2010/11 End of Season Awards in recognition of his service across his two spells at Goodison Park – between 1994 and 2006.
Ferguson rarely gave interviews throughout his eventful and sometimes controversial career, making this a very rare opportunity to hear Big Dunc in his own words.

You can log in using your Facebook, Twitter or official site credentials and don't have to ask a question to read the transcript of the event.
However, we do expect many of you to put a question to Ferguson and we will get through as many as we possibly can.

Child of Light trailer shows gorgeous watercolour wonderland
Sidescrolling RPG, Child of Light, is looking extremely pretty, which isn't surprising considering the fact it's built on the powerful UbiArt tools Ubisoft used to make the modern Rayman games. This time the developers, led by Far Cry 3 director Patrick Plourde, are drawing aesthetic inspiration from Final Fantasy and Vagrant story to create a washed-out watercolour ambiance for the fantasy world of Lemuria.
You can read more about Child of Light's story, themes and combat system in Pip's piece on the game, and Tyler's first look. In short, you play a heroine called Aurora on a quest to retrieve the light of Lemuria from an evil queen. You explore with light-footed platforming and fight in turn-based encounters reminiscent of classic JRPGs, and the story is told entirely in rhyming couplets. If that sounds like just sort of thing, then you'll be pleased to discover it also looks and sounds like this:

LiveVIDEO: On-pitch brawl and streakers at Royal Marine vs Parachute Regiment rugby match in Taunton
This live event has finished
- Match contested between Royal Marines and Parachute Regiment for the Trafalgar Cup
- Streakers interrupt the game, sparking a brawl involving around 50 people
- Spectators ran on to the pitch to try and break-up the fight
- Hundreds watched the match at Taunton Rugby Club yesterday
- Money from the event went to the charity Go Commando
THE match ended 31-14 to the Royal Marines.
PLENTY of you have been commenting on Facebook:
Neil Viirgin said: "Lol...RM v Parachute Regiment what did people expect teacakes and Pimms? Bit of fun got slightly out of hand i would have thought..."
Dopey Doughnut added: "We'll send these lads all round the globe to kill or be killed, and for that they play hard with no one but their own as witness's. Leave 'em alone ffs."
Philip Tucker posted: "In reality no big deal. Two groups of young men who are trained to undertake violence playing rugby with victory and honour at stake.
"This is a little bit of a scuffle. I would have expected worse. I remember once in the RAF playing football against Thames Valley Police. They really were a bunch of thugs. They would threaten to break your legs and if you responded threatened to nick you for speeding after the game."

Brilliant game, with a slight altercation, which in my opinion was born out of frustration, these guys are not louts or drunken thugs they are athletes pure and simple.
BEFORE the match started, youngsters from North Petherton Rugby Club provided a guard of honour to welcome the teams onto the pitch.
Pictured in white is the Royal Marines team:
Pictured in burgandy is the Parachute Regiment team:

ONE of the streakers heads on to the pitch, followed by others, causing a mixture of shock and cheering in the crowd.
JACK Matthews, president of Taunton Rugby Club, said people streaking and fighting on a rugby pitch is not a weekly occurrence.
He said: "That is untrue, the game at our level is played hard, fair and clean.
"All we did was stage the match on behalf of them, we did not organise it we just let them use our facilities.
"We promote proper clean rugby."

Gem64 says
Typical expected behaviour from no doubt drunken idiots supposedly raising money for their own, typical Thursday evening in Taunton, hope you are all ashamed of yourselves.
WHAT do you think of this? Was it a storm in a teacup or not? Let us know your thoughts by commenting on this story below.
MONEY raised from the event went to Royal Marines charity Go Commando, who support members of Taunton's 40 Commando.
Go Commando chief executive Debbie Tyler-Davis played down the brawl, describing it as high spirits which bubbled over.
She said: "It was just one of those things, both teams were eager to win and there were two highly charged sets of guys.
"The boys got a bit heated but it was not drastic – it is not a big issue.
"It happens on football matches and rugby games every Saturday and in big games at Twickenham so it is sad when it is only highlighted for a military match."
She also said the event is primarily a sporting fixture as both teams contested the Trafalgar Cup, not a family charity event.
The match was hosted by the Royal Marines at Taunton Rugby Club to celebrate their 350th anniversary.
THIS video was uploaded to Facebook and has been shared by more than 600 people.
The County Gazette has edited the video to remove full frontal nudity.
A STILL image from the video shows players from both teams coming together in the middle of the pitch.
A FIGHT broke out after streakers invaded the pitch during a rugby match between the Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment at Taunton Rugby Club yesterday (July 18).
A video from one spectator shows a number of streakers run on to the pitch mid-way through the match.
A rugby player tackled one of the streakers to the ground which then sparked a brawl between both sides.
Spectators can be seen to run on to the pitch to help break-up the scrap.
A video of the fight will be online shortly.

Big brown eyes and curly hair
I wonder if she sees me stare
I can't say why I've fallen
Babe, please have mercy
Kind of in Love With You (via lyricsfromtheavettbrothers)
My favorite song
Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to
museums, and parks, and monuments,
and kiss you in every beautiful
place, so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting me
like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most
beautiful way possible.
And when I leave
you will finally understand,
why storms are named after people.
