CHOICE TABLES;Fried Chicken + Cracklin's + Biscuits = Atlanta
By RICK BRAGG
Published: June 2, 1996
THE biscuits, Lord, the biscuits. Down here they call them cathead biscuits, because they are about the size of a kitten's head, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, slathered with muscadine jelly and white butter, or opened up and smothered in white milk gravy.
Then there is the chicken, expertly patted with white flour, dusted with salt, then fried in an honest iron skillet that has been blackened and seasoned over a generation. It is served with pole beans -- green beans, for the ignorant -- that have been slow-cooked with a drop or two of bacon grease, and mashed potatoes rich with milk and butter, and fried okra, and scraped corn. Ruby Pearl Barber scrapes it off the cob herself. The only way to get it any fresher is to go out in the field and gnaw it off the stalk.
For dessert there is cobbler made from blackberries or tiny wild strawberries, or her famous carrot cake, rich and moist and studded with pecans, coated with a cream cheese icing that is more smooth than sweet.
"Most recipes call for putting vanilla in the icing, but I think that makes it too sweet," said the 75-year-old Mrs. Barber, who is originally from Randolph County, Ala., but now lives in Atlanta. Hers is the kind of genuine, traditional Southern food that visitors to the Summer Olympics may be expecting. There is only one problem.
It is not for sale.
Mrs. Ruby Pearl, as she is also known here, cooks only for her family or friends, in her kitchen. Once, years ago, there were several sit-down homestyle cafes and barbecue restaurants in Atlanta that served traditional Southern food of this style and quality. But in Atlanta's headlong rush to bulldoze its past and become an international city, they have mostly disappeared. There remain six or seven places -- no more -- that serve genuine, traditional Southern barbecue and homestyle meals. You can cruise the endless suburbs looking for others, but, considering the expected impossible gridlock of Olympic traffic, you may never be seen or heard from again.
In the city, there is Harold's, a barbecue joint near the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, which has genuine cracklin's -- crisp-fried nuggets of pork fat and skin -- embedded in the cornbread, and the Brunswick stew is as good as you will find on this earth. For ribs done right, there is Aleck's near the downtown, where the sauce has ruined untold shirts.
There is Thelma's on Marietta, which serves good chicken and fine sweet potato souffle, but used to be a lot better before it was forced to change locations to make way for the Olympic park. There is the Colonnade on Cheshire Bridge Road, where the little yeast rolls are addictive, and the pork loin with cornbread dressing is tender and juicy. But you have to be careful in the parking lot after Wednesday's Ladies' Lunch, because the highballs they serve in the adjoining bar are a bit strong and the gray-haired matriarchs get a little wild in their Cadillacs.
For a real Southern breakfast, the only choice is Silver Skillet on Northside Drive, a place where you can get an honest gravy and biscuits, scrambled eggs and cheese grits, with a slab of ham or some link sausage. The food is good enough to make you forget the cute name.
And then there is the Varsity downtown, which is not a Southern restaurant at all but a long-famous, massive hamburger stand with excellent chili dogs. It is included because it has somehow survived the wrecking balls that have pummeled the culture of this city for decades.
"Atlanta does not have any indigenous culture to speak of, and that includes food," said John Huey, an Atlanta native and managing editor of Fortune magazine. The best restaurant biscuit in Atlanta, he sadly points out, is made by Greeks, at the White House in the trendy Buckhead section.
In Atlanta, when people ponder "what price growth," the answer is easy: decent banana pudding.
Some Atlantans -- many of them born in places far, far north of here -- will argue that there is fine, nouveau riche Southern cooking in Atlanta, and that may be. But they are talking about places that serve polenta, which is really grits for rich folks. Sometimes the grits are sculptured into shapes and dubbed "grits cakes," which would cause almost any genuine Southerner to laugh out loud. Others will point to places like Mary Mac's Tea Room on Ponce de Leon as traditional, but the mashed potatoes taste like they came out of a box.
The truth is, most visitors won't know the difference between fake Southern and the real thing, so anything fried will probably do. But for those who want the real deal, here is what Atlanta has:
The Colonnade
One diner, meaning no disrespect at all, called it "hospital food done right." No one will leave the Colonnade saying the food is the best, but they will leave comfortably, happily full.
This is a real place. Established in 1927, it will disappoint anyone who believes Southern restaurants should come with washboards and plow handles and other ridiculous artifacts on the walls. It is a simple, wide-open dining room, with an adjoining bar. The Bloody Marys are pink, because of the serious vodka content.

I love the retort though:
i anxiously await the posts of "wow you guys must be scared since you're criticizing a republican" like always though this time they might actually be right because i am legitimately scared of the party that puts a man that's apparently suffering from dementia on stage on the same night that they nominate their robot candidate

This is a perfect representation of the campaign: an old white man arguing with an imaginary Barack Obama.
That was pathetic and embarrassing

I really like this plugin, looks great on my website.
I use the Clear slider theme 1.0.1, on Bombax WordPress theme, and i experienced the follows:
When browsing my site with mobile phones (i tested on android, but web testers said, the problem is the same on iphone), the carousel plugin while autoscrolling, scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts too, not just the thumbnails of the posts, and place them to random positions.
I didn't need this, and it looks bad. I have uploaded a picture to show that to you.
Maybe i should disable the desktop-view on mobile phones and enable just the mobile-view, but i want to keep the possibility for mobile browsing users to see my site at its best.
What can i do to dissolve this bug? Please help me! Thanks!

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Getting a Grip on Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain
When you work on the Verrazano-Narrows, one of the biggest suspension bridges in the world, the cold temperatures and heavy lifting can really take a toll on your body. Construction worker John Melendez thought the pain and swelling he was experiencing in his hands, arms, and legs were just side effects of his job. Eventually, the pain became so severe that the 52-year-old Staten Island resident was unable to work at all. "My fingers were so swollen that I couldn't bend them," Melendez recalls. "I couldn't even walk."
When he finally went to see Jonathan Samuels, MD, an attending rheumatologist at New York University's Langone Medical Center, Melendez was in so much pain that he had to be practically carried into the office. Tests revealed that he had rheumatoid arthritis or RA. RA is a degenerative autoimmune disease that attacks the joints. Melendez immediately thought of his mother, who also has RA and now lives in a nursing home. He worried that he would share her fate.
Had he been diagnosed 20 or 30 years ago, that might have been the case. People with severe rheumatoid arthritis once had to look forward to a lifetime of chronic pain and disability. But today's treatments have dramatically improved the outlook. "With the new medications, we're able to stop the disease process," Samuels says.
Disease-Modifying Medications for Severe RA
In the past, most patients with rheumatoid arthritis took pain relievers to alleviate their symptoms. But the drugs did nothing to slow the progressive joint damage that occurs with chronic RA. Today, patients are diagnosed earlier and treated more aggressively. And the medications used can actually change the course of their disease and reverse joint damage. "The earlier you catch somebody and the earlier you start effective therapy, the more likely you are to get them into remission," says Eric Ruderman, MD. Ruderman is associate professor of medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He's also an attending physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "We are becoming more and more aggressive in the way we treat people," he says. "So the goal really is remission."

Toxoplasma gondii, Brazil
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
Recently, Jones et al. reported that past pregnancies increased risk for recent Toxoplasma gondii infection in Brazil (1). They did not, however, control for age. Previous seroepidemiologic studies have shown that age is a main confounding variable in analysis of risk factors for toxoplasmosis (2). Age can explain why mothers with more children are at higher risk for toxoplasmosis; the longer persons live in areas with high toxoplasmosis prevalence, the higher their risk for infection.
Also not explored were drinking water–related factors. Our recent study of pregnant women in Quindio, Colombia, found factors that explained attributable risk percent for infection to be eating rare meat (0.26%) and having contact with a cat <6 months of age (0.19%) (3). Drinking bottled water was more significantly protective for the group that did not consume undercooked or raw meat (odds ratio 0.06, 95% confidence interval 0.006–0.560, p = 0.008). We think that drinking water–related factors could explain up to 50% of toxoplasmosis infections in our region.

KotOR Global Variable Comparison Tool
v1.0.3 released
- Support for KotOR & TSL
- Added a Save to File button
- Changed savegame listboxes to dropdown lists
Legacy text:
In extending the savegame editor to include the editing of global variables, I've realized how little I know about the inner workings of the game. This tool provides a glimpse into how the global variables change as gameplay progresses.
The tool allows you compare two savegames' global variables (booleans numerics and strings). I hope it can help increase our overall understanding of the game.
Yay! I'm finally a Pit Droid now. :r2d2:
this a cool tool. I just loaded up two save games one was my first game DS and the other was I think the 4th LS. There are alot of differences. It does show bit more of how much work it takes to make a game.
My only complaint I have about this KSE and KGC is that there is no wheel mouse support :( lol I know it's a small detail but I have been useing a wheel mouse for 5 years now and when I can't it use it's almost like useing a PC without a mouse at all.
:) very minor complaint though I can live with it. and your tools are great.
I'll see what I can do about that, T7. Perl/Tk does provide a method for supporting wheel-mice and I was too lazy to include it.
I do appreciate feedback like that. :)
Edit: actually that tells me you're running Windows XP -- mousewheel support is available for other Windows' OS's. It's a weird thing about XP losing focus of the pane you're trying to scroll.
v1.0.3 released
v1.0.3 released.
In preparation from some more serious modding of TSL and by request, I've re-released the Global Variable Comparison tool.
Re: v1.0.3 released
...erm...and dlgedit too...this gff thing can be a pain in the *** for long dialogues :(
Comment by D333: Just trying :D
Thank you.
Speaking of dlg files...anyone know where all the non-party NPC dialogs are hiding? I found the files for the transit systems, workbenches, and party NPC's but can't find any of the others using KT. TIA
Getting off topic guys... :D
Did you open DLGEditor first (without opening any .dlg) and then press Ctrl-T and select the kotor2 dialog.tlk? If not, it will crash. But let's talk about it in a different thread.
Great tool tk102! This tool just saved me hours of work looking for a global variable difference :D

I don't know everything and won't claim too.
Solenoids are the meat of nitrous setup. Proper maintenance can be the life and death of and engine. It can stick open and send your motor parts into cyber space, or hang shut and kill the motor from all the extra gas it should be creating space for in the cylinder.
There are a few parts in a solenoid that need to have upkeep done on them for them to last and work at their best or inefficiency will rear it's head.. The onset of frustration is next, then removal and nitrous badmouthing starts...
Get to know your system..
You have in a typical solenoid these parts:
Top Nut
A Solenoid Cap Cover
Coil Wire Grommet
A Coil
Wave Washer
Base Washer
Plunger Housing/Coil Shaft
Plunger Spring
Plunger Housing/Base Oring
Plunger Solenoid Base
Simple mechanics will tell you how it works:
Nitrous enters the dual ports on the intake side and rest at the base of solenoid and inside the side around the plunger. The coils resistance and nitrous pressure keeps the plunger at rest. The second power is applied to the coil the magnetic field makes the plunger move in a upward position to open the pathway for nitrous to flow to the outlet side of the base..
Pulsing is the slow or rapid application of pulsing power to the solenoid's coil which creates a rapid field of push/pull of the plunger moving it up and down inside its housing.
Maintenance is something that is often overlooked in something that we depend on the most. We take for granted it's fine if it's making power, never really knowing if it is or isn't making all it can. Don't find comfort in guessing, do regular maintenance on it..Nitrous gets a bad rap for alot of reasons, and sometimes it's actually lack of knowledge and our own upkeep of the system.
Used Solenoids can be good and bad. Did previous owner do upkeep, how old is solenoid, how was it used, what kind of pressure was ran thru it, what kind of maintenance cycles did it go thru? Was it ever rebuilt?
I say these things cause buy used can be a $40 part to cause a $10k blowup... I usually don't buy used solenoids unless I installed it and know how it was kept up on.. I show you why from a solenoid I just purchased.
These are just a few pics of the solenoid before I ever get ready to clean it.. You have done it and I hope this deters you from here on out. If you buy used do the maintenance before you ever install it or you may wish you had.. Remember $40 only to blow $10k away..
This is what you may find and you don't know unless you do it.. I'm not pointing fingers but this could have been catastrophic to some of you that aren't really experienced in what to look for anyways..I suggest you grab some of the nitrous books out there and get your knowledge game on..The net is good for something but Knowledge is POWER.
Here you go and I hope this helps some of you:
I found a tiny pebble completely sealing one of the inlet ports inside the base
Trash inside the base of where the nitrous rest before plunger moves up
Light rust, grainy sediment and small piece of pebbles around plunger base
moisture particle buildup on top of plunger and inside spring and it's seat area
moisture/rust build up around top cover where coil sits at
plunger had moisture slime and some foreign matter in it's rail where nitrous would flow through to sort of balance the plunger in it's housing...
These are all things that could make this solenoid fail and take out lots of high dollar parts..
Invest in a good nitrous filter for your system. I filter from my big bottle to little bottle, and from my little bottle to my solenoids.
Buy good quality solenoids, do the maintenance and save yourself, tuner, mechanic and family grief...
I hope this has been a good read, helpful to those that didn't know and a refresher for those that have been lacking on doing it and wondering why they are having issues...

I just installed 12.04 and want to try make it work by changing whats slow but 1st i need to find what slows it down but how? I want see results and be able to compare between versions.
In the terminal type top and it'll show you a list of processes that uses most of the resources (ctrl+alt+T = terminal)
I would start with running system monitor (type 'monitor' in unity) to check which processes are top consumers and what is the load.

Gracewood's ministry is modeled after the Family Care Program started at its sister agency, Texas Baptist Children's Home, in 1979. The goal of the program has always been to rescue single mothers and children from poverty and the risk of homelessness by providing "home, hope and healing" through residential care and access to career opportunities and education. Gracewood opened to client families in March 2001. After acquiring additional property, a second campus was opened in 2009. The first cottage opened on the new campus that year, followed by a second home in 2010 and a third in 2012. In 2011, the original office building was converted into a living unit for four additional families and the original cottage underwent a complete remodel.
At Gracewood, single mothers can live on a short-term basis with their children in a group residence where full-time, in-residence Family Life Coordinators support a plan of service tailored to fit their individual needs. The program also provides nonresidential services by connecting families with community resources. Program benefits include: a safe haven in a time of crisis; the family can remain intact during crisis resolution; basic needs of shelter, food, and clothing; personalized case management; life skills modeled by staff in residence; individual, group, and family counseling; connection with community resources; education and training assistance; referral to employment resources; housing assistance; money management program; transportation assistance; recreational opportunities; an aftercare program. Patti's Place boutique opened in 2013 and provides clothing and other resources for mother's and children in residence and Aftercare families.
Mission Statement
Gracewood rescues and restores single mothers and their children by providing home, hope, and healing.
Vision Statement
Empowering families through Christian ministry designed to provide housing, mentoring, teaching, financial planning, counseling, and access to community resources.

Though production and yields have risen, TSMC (TSM +1.1%) is still fully using up its 28nm chip manufacturing capacity thanks to strong demand from mobile clients, Digitimes reports. The report comes shortly after rival UMC warned of a Q1 operating loss due to a "slower than expected" 28nm ramp, and might bode well for TSMC equipment suppliers KLAC and LRCX - TSMC set a relatively light capex budget for 2013. Mobile chipmakers using TSMC's cutting-edge processes include Qualcomm, Broadcom, Nvidia, and MediaTek.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Zhang Yimou, the acclaimed Chinese director of Ju dou, Raise the Red Lantern and The Story of Qiu Ju, spins an epic tale of greed, revenge and lust for power set against the Shanghai opium wars of the 1930's.
the pinnacle of form-as-story filmmaking. it doesn't get any better than this.
hollow story, beautifully shot, Li Gong is everlastingly amazing though, a 6/10
my review: http://lasttimeisawdotcom.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/last-film-i-saw-shanghai-triad/
Brilliant performance by Gong Li. Loved her as a disagreeable Diva! My favorite parts are the first song she sings and then the cigarette scene.
Beautiful score and some great camera work.
Not my favorite Yimou, though I enjoyed Gong Li's temperamental diva.
Without Gong Li, I would rated it 2 stars.
Yimou, good filmmaker. This on the other hand, bored the fuck out of me. Nice cinematography doesn't always make for an engaging movie experience.
Zhang Yimou's very visual eye is present here in spades. Just beautiful to look at. it's light on story but entertaining enough. I liked how little information we were given about the affairs of the gangsters, considering the story was told from the lowest ranking member, as it made the ending more effective. Not a great movie, but pretty good. Astounding cinematography and production design make it worth watching.

We recently developed an inorganic shell approach for suppressing blinking in nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) that has the potential to dramatically improve the utility of these fluorophores for single-NQD tracking of individual molecules in cell biology. Here, we consider in detail the effect of shell thickness and composition on blinking suppression, focusing on the CdSe/CdS core/shell system. We also discuss the blinking mechanism as understood through profoundly altered blinking statistics. We clarify the dependence of blinking behavior and photostability on shell thickness, as well as on interrogation times. We show that, while the thickest-shell systems afford the greatest advantages in terms of enhanced optical properties, thinner-shell NQDs may be adequate for certain applications requiring relatively shorter interrogation times. Shell thickness also determines the sensitivity of the NQD optical properties to aqueous-phase transfer, a critical step in rendering NQDs compatible with bioimaging applications. Lastly, we provide a proof-of-concept demonstration of the utility of these unique NQDs for fluorescent particle tracking. (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Women's Tennis
March 29, 2014
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The University of San Diego women's tennis team (7-9, 3-3 WCC) pulled out a victory over fellow WCC contender Loyola Marymount (6-11, 0-4 WCC) in thrilling fashion Saturday afternoon at the LMU Tennis Center.
After dropping a tight doubles point, the Toreros stayed mentally tough in a match that would last over five hours. With stellar performances from seniors Idil Haciraifoglu and Anna Depenau, the Toreros defeated the Lions 4-3.
To kick off doubles play, Depenau and freshman Colomba DiFilippo cruised past Ellie Grossman and Lauri Mueller 8-1. The pair are currently on an eight-match winning streak. However, the Lions fired back with a win at the No. 3 spot. With the deciding match on court one, the Lions' Miya Jin and Jessica Perez got the victory over sophomores Shani Blecher and Marta Stojanovic 8-5.
As singles play commenced, LMU extended their lead after an injury forced Blecher to retire on court one. The Toreros would answer with two convincing wins: Stojanovic knocked off Lions' Jessica Perez 6-3, 6-1, while DiFilippo defeated Lauri Mueller 6-2, 6-2. The Lions would gain back their momentum when Ellie Grossman defeated sophomore Mikayla Morkel-Brink 6-3, 6-3.
The remaining matches on court featured the two seniors on the squad: Haciraifoglu at the No. 5 spot and Depenau at the No. 3 spot. Although losing a tight second set, Haciraifoglu got the victory over Lions' Reka Rohonyi 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. It would then come down to Depenau, who is no stranger to marathon matches. Despite losing the first set in a tiebreak, Depenau stayed confident and came back to win the second set 7-6(2). It was then smooth sailing from that point on as Depenau took the third set and the match 6-2.
The Toreros return to action April 8th, at 1:30 p.m. PT for SENIOR DAY. Mark your calendars and come support as the Toreros take on the University of San Francisco.

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a popular approach for modeling sequential data comprising continuous attributes. In such applications, the observation emission densities of the HMM hidden states are typically modeled by means of elliptically contoured distributions, usually multivariate Gaussian or Student's-t densities. However, elliptically contoured distributions cannot sufficiently model heavy-tailed or skewed populations which are typical in many fields, such as the financial and the communication signal processing domain. Employing finite mixtures of such elliptically contoured distributions to model the HMM state densities is a common approach for the amelioration of these issues. Nevertheless, the nature of the modeled data often requires postulation of a large number of mixture components for each HMM state, which might have a negative effect on both model efficiency and the training data set's size required to avoid overfitting. To resolve these issues, in this paper, we advocate for the utilization of a nonelliptically contoured distribution, the multivariate normal inverse Gaussian (MNIG) distribution, for modeling the observation densities of HMMs. As we experimentally demonstrate, our selection allows for more effective modeling of skewed and heavy-tailed populations in a simple and computationally efficient manner.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A familiar trio danced around one another again at the top of the Bassmaster Classic leaderboard Saturday, but with a slight shuffle in the lineup. Jeff Kriet of Ardmore, Okla., who was in third place heading into Day 2, jumped to the top spot with the day's biggest bag from Lay Lake: 15 pounds, 10 ounces for a two-day total of 32 pounds, 1 ounce.
Day 1 leader Kevin VanDam of Kalamazoo, Mich., the 2009 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, dropped to second place with 12 pounds, 7 ounces for 31-15 overall. Todd Faircloth of Jasper, Texas, second on Friday, dropped to third Saturday with 13-12 for 31-14 overall.
Only the top 25 contenders advance to Day Three and will compete for the $500,000 top prize in the total Classic payout of $1.2 million. The top three anglers lead Sunday's "Super Six," a group that also includes 2003 Classic champ Mike Iaconelli of Pittsgrove, N.J., with 26 pounds, 12 ounces, home-state pro Russ Lane of Prattville, Ala., 25-11, and veteran Classic competitor Tommy Biffle of Wagoner, Okla., 24-9.
Immediately on their heels was 2004 Bassmaster Classic winner Takahiro Omori of Emory, Texas, in seventh place with 24-5 overall.
Pam Martin-Wells of Bainbridge, Ga., the 2009 Toyota Tundra Women's Bassmaster Tour Angler of the Year, made history Saturday as the first woman to make the cut into the top 25. Martin-Wells is 21st with 16-12 overall.
"I'm extremely proud of myself if for no other reason than it's been tough," she said, "and I've been able to grind out a limit both days."
Several in the field of 51 have been fishing Beeswax Creek, within eyeshot of the daily launch site, and the top three agreed that the traffic and competition has taken a toll on Lay Lake's bass. The lake dropped 1 foot Saturday, which also contributed to Saturday's tough conditions.
Kriet's Day 2 total was nearly 2 pounds heavier than the second best total weight of the day, a 13-15 bag brought in by Matt Herren of Trussville, Ala. Herren is eighth with 23-6 overall.
Kriet was grateful that several competitors who wanted to fish the same water have instead let him have a stretch to himself.
"My fish were positioned a little different than they were yesterday, I may just have to try to move around and try to relocate them," said Kriet, who was asked if he'd gamble on fishing somewhere other than his prime spot Sunday. "The ideal thing is to let those fish rest. If I thought I could leave and come back and nobody was there, heck yeah, I have three or four other places I'd love to hit."
Faircloth added that other anglers waiting for a chance on a hot spot made it difficult to leave the most productive location he has found.
"There's so many of us sharing the same water, it's like Kriet said, if you let them rest for a little while, you can catch one or two if you go back," he said. "But if somebody's coming right behind, where you just went the fish are just getting hammered. They're not having time to settle down. It was kind of like a circus in there today."
VanDam admitted that, right off the bat, the water level changed his game plan.
"The water falling, I think definitely hurt me," said the two-time Classic winner, who is fishing shallower than Kriet and Faircloth. "Yesterday I culled a 15-pound limit and a couple of 13-pound limits to catch what I caught. I didn't see any of those type of fish today, it was just a whole different world."
VanDam said the lake has changed a good bit in the last few days, and that the weather conditions Sunday warmer air temperatures, an approaching front and a forecast of afternoon rain are going to make for a completely different kind of fishing day.
"When you have conditions like that, the fish are going to be more active," he said "They're going to chase baits better. High bright skies and no wind is not easy fishing it's part of the reason, I'm sure, it was tough today."
Iaconelli is one of the few in the Top 10 who hasn't been fishing near the launch site. He's in 3 to 10 feet of water and spending most of his time midlake, fishing hard spots in front of grass, a pattern he found in practice with a jig and a crankbait.
The 2006 AOY said he's fishing a finesse bait an old finesse bait that has largely been forgotten. It's a bait he said he carries in his "panic box." He added, however, that his strategy for Sunday will likely be different than anything he has tried through Days 1 and 2.
"I'm going to have fun, try to fish a perfect day," Iaconelli said. "I'm going to start in a couple areas where I had success; I'm not going to die on it, though. Within an hour or two, if I don't feel it, I'm gone. Most of my fish are coming pretty shallow. That surprises a lot of people you're finessing wintertime fish and you're still in shallow water.
"I've got to keep the faith that there are 20-pound bags to be had out here. That's what I need tomorrow to win, and it's not out of the question."
Other notable results on Day 2: 2008 Classic champ Alton Jones of Waco, Texas, had the big bass of the day at 5 pounds, 1 ounce, and finished just outside the cut at 27th with 14-1 overall. The defending Classic champ, Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif., finished the Classic in 43rd with 5-0. Boyd Duckett of Demopolis, Ala., the home-state favorite and 2007 Classic winner at Lay Lake, finished 49th after two disappointing days that included engine failure on Day 1.
The public is invited to attend the finale of the Classic at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex arena to witness the crowning of the 2010 Classic champion. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. CT.
Launch is set for 7 a.m. CT Sunday at Beeswax Creek Park in Columbiana. All events are free and open to the public.

The Realty Tower Apartments has "the potential to be a transformational project for downtown," Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams says.The mayor mentioned the 23-unit upscale apartment complex project, expected to be finished by Sept. 1, in the same breath as the Covelli Centre and the reopening of Federal Plaza.

By DAVID SKOLNICK
YOUNGSTOWN — The Realty Tower Apartments has "the potential to be a transformational project for downtown," Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams says.
The mayor mentioned the 23-unit upscale apartment complex project, expected to be finished by Sept. 1, in the same breath as the Covelli Centre and the reopening of Federal Plaza.
"This is in that league" when talking about important projects that have led to the revitalization of downtown Youngstown, Williams said.
Unlike the Covelli Centre, opened in late 2005, and the reopening of Federal Plaza in late 2004, most of the $8.4 million expense for Realty is coming from a private investor.
The Frangos Group, run by Louis Frangos of Cleveland, will receive $3.41 million in federal and state funding for the rehabilitation of the historic structure sometime after it opens.
Besides a $2 million loan given to Frangos from the city, which must be repaid next month, the company has footed the entire bill for the project so far.
These are tough economic times, but Williams said he's hopeful this project will succeed.
"We're not fooling ourselves with the challenges of the economic environment," he said. "It's a tough economic and housing market. But there are people out there with the means" to afford Realty's rent, "who want to live downtown."
The building, at 47 Central Federal Street in the heart of downtown, has 23 apartments ranging from 1,215 to 2,057 square feet. Rent will range from $1,400 to $2,300 a month.
Two are rented.
"This is part of what's going on downtown," said Bill Sperlazza, development project manager for the Frangos Group. "This is a huge part of what's happening. For downtown Youngstown to go in the right direction, people will want to live down here. This is an important part of the downtown picture."
While a new concept in Youngstown, turning older vacant buildings into upscale housing facilities has occurred nationwide "as a tool to revitalize downtowns," said Thomas Finnerty, associate director of Youngstown State University's Center for Urban Studies.
"Will it succeed here? It will succeed if those who work in downtown want to live in downtown," Finnerty said. "There is a lot more to do downtown than in years past. Downtown is developing a life. That will help some people decide to live downtown."
If that works, the success of downtown businesses and housing will feed off each other, Finnerty said.
"With people living downtown, there will be a need for a grocery store," he said.
Also, if Realty proves to be a success it would lead to other upscale apartment projects in the city's downtown, Williams and Finnerty said.
"There is a demand for downtown living," Williams said.
But the future development of downtown housing isn't based solely on the success or failure of Realty, the mayor said.
"You can't go that far because of the current economy," he said.
Realty will be the first upscale housing complex in the city's downtown.
But there already are a few people living downtown in large, upscale apartments.
Among them is Richard Mills, president of the Ohio One Corp., which owns five downtown buildings.
Mills has lived on the top floor of the four-story Rica Building on Champion Street since 1992. His company owns the building.
"I was living down here before it was chic," Mills said. "The major thing that irks me is downtown is perceived as unsafe and it's untrue. It's safe. I've never been robbed."
Even though Ohio One doesn't rent space for living downtown, Mills said he gets about 2 to 3 calls a month from people asking if he has apartment space.
Mills expects Realty to be a "great success."
"Downtown living has been slow coming, but a lot of things in Youngstown are slow in developing," he said. "No one before Frangos has taken the chance. I think it's the beginning of downtown housing in Youngstown. There is definitely a market for it. [Living downtown has] certainly worked well for me."
The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber is having an after-hours business mixer behind Realty from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. today. The event will include guided tours of the building.
Tickets are $20 for chamber members and $25 for others.

You could by a condo in Canfield and you mortgage payments would be less than some of these rents.
Looks great, but those rents are high... They should have stuck with something a little less fancy and a little bit more affordable.
Now is NOT the time for apartments with such high rents!
Actually, those prices are right in line for a multiple bedroom/person apartment in the real world. It'll never fly in an area where property values have fallen below the basement though. Upscale and Youngstown just don't mix.
I just don't think this is going to work. I now live in New York City and there is nothing I would want to see more than Youngstown come back to life and it has a little but putting apartments in downtown won't do it. Also at those prices why would you live downtown where nothing is close to you. You would still need a car so if there is no parking garage you have to find parking or park outside. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in a great area of Brooklyn for 2,300 a month and I have everything I need right around me. Also if you have a family you would have to send your kids to private school or they go to Youngstown city schools.
Thanks Mr.Frangos for appealing to the "Rich" in this valley, instead of just the "mainstream". With all the unemployment and foreclosures in the area, good luck!!
yay gentrification!
This kind of thing is part of the 'downtown island' mentality. Where upscale shops, apartments, and convention centers are built while the larger city decays and crime runs rampant. This is of course designed to attract folks from the suburbs to come spend money and will have no effect on the vast majority of city dwellers and their substantial problems.
I grew up in youngstown and left in the late 90's, now I live in brooklyn and pay less than that to live in a neighborhood with far more services (grocery stores/public transit etc.) I get what they're trying to do, but the truth is that the demographic for this kind of living in youngstown is really limited and the wrong kind of thinking for downtown. If gentrification is what they are looking for, then they need to appeal to the people who have been hanging out downtown for the last decade, not doctors and lawyers.
"With people living downtown, there will be a need for a grocery store."
That is hilarious, there are already several hundred people living downtown and although they are not upscale, I'm pretty sure even the old, crazy, disabled and poor need to eat (and the government supplies them with sweet sweet foodstamps!).
The absurdity of this development fills me with joy, and I have been chuckling all day since I read this article. The reason people are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money to live in urban centers is to participate in a lively cultural/social scene. I can't imagine anyone expects to find that in Youngstown. Are we certain this isn't just another way for the owner to get development grants and gain a tax write off?
As a study in marketing, it's quite a challenge. There needs to be amenities close by and there currently is none. For a fiscally responsible person, rent should be about 1/4 of your income. At the median range that would mean you should be making $86,400 dollars a year to live there. Even at the cheapest, you would need to be making $57,600 dollars a year to be fiscally responsible. I believe they will be hard pressed to find 21 more tenants making that kind of money that wants to live in downtown Youngstown at the moment.
I do NOT agree that there is not a re-birthing of downtown, with many restaurants as the first step, hopefully retail and grocery wont be too far behind. Username Already Exists, must be someone who does not go downtown, or has not been there in a long time. I personally have gone to over 15 events downtown over the Summer, and enjoyed most every one.
Back to marketing 101, they could rent those apartments with some creativity. Not to the average Joe, but to Doctors and Judges and Lawyers who live out of the area, For Larger business who fly in clients or work with people out of town such as banks, big industrial, etc. The economy is not good in Youngstown, but that doesnt mean there arent people who live and work here without means and money. That is myopic view of the situation.
$1400 is great, if you live in DC or NYC but will not fly in Youngstown!
stupid who wants to live downtown?
Your kidding right? I own a 3 bedroom bi-level in the country $790 per month taxes and insurance included. Biggest crime last year was kids soaping the windows on halloween! The gunshots come from the sportsmans club. Why would I move downtown and rent-not own for twice as much $$$$$.
How about Wendy Webb-Jay Williams and the school board and the city counsel members move in there.
Just a thought.
Police and Fire are moving out of town as well.
What ever happened to Wick neighbors and reviving Smokey Hollow? The were going to have a grocery store and drug store in the neighborhood.
"If you build it - no one will come."
These are not upscale. I don't know why he put down carpet and not hardwood or tile. Formica Counter tops and he didn't expose brick exterior walls. No creativity and without some "upscale" amenities he will never get these prices. Looks like any other apartment in the area.
I would like living downtown janeyblue. But I agree with beinghonest that these places don't have the level of finish that would be appropriate for the rents being asked.
Check out the Park Building on Cleveland's Public Square that was renovated into condos:
Just from the one picture of the couple, I can see nice woodwork, built-in shelves, french doors, etc. And these places also begin "in the 200,000's"
Just makes no since to me. Who in the heck would pay $1400 a month in rent to live downtown Youngstown, when u can BUY a beautiful home for less than that in a much better area.
Oh I get it. Diddy and MTV are gonna be filming making the band in youngstown, and this is where the potential band members will be staying.
Ode to the Dark Tower:
Friends look to the west,
The setting sun smiles
Reminding us of times not so long ago.
A tower rose in the center of town.
Strong and tall, proud and radiant,
A likeness to the people
Whose hands had crafted it.
Through the power of history
lives were shaped and dreams achieved
Banners flew of different kings
& Skies opened up above
Families and friends gathered together
Celebration and defeat, Beginnings and endings
Markings painted the inside
Machines and space, sound and silence
Caverns and hieroglyphics
Secret keys light up the night
Ghosts of different times embraced
The new order of the day
Time, as many would say, had passed on,
But the tower stood tall.
As defiant as the morning sunrise
Reaching over the valley
A beacon that never sleeps
Only to remind us that
Banged and broken, the tower endures
Through the souls that remember.
Beinghonest, I totally agree. We rented a condo in Huntington Woods a few years back that was nicer than these new apartments, and MUCH cheaper. The house we just bought dates from the 40's, has gorgeous oak hardwood throughout, hardwood laminate in the kitchen, a beautiful and artfully tiled bathroom, poplar trim and doors...obviously I LOVE our house. Our mortgage is nowhere near the price of those apartments, and we have a fully fenced backyard and a generously sized front yard. But really, carpet in an "upscale" apartment??? Anyway, I do hope that Realty succeeds. Youngstown needs good things to happen.
Having looked at the apartments, I must say that the view does compensate for the choice of finishing elements in decorating. The view is spectacular, taking in downtown, but also a good part of the surrounding valley.
There are nice decks and a wide sidewalk below with flowers, much cleaner than the sidewalks in Cleveland or New York.
There is a parking deck just across the street on the north of the building, and another across the street behind it. The parking lot itself is enclosed with a nice brick wall, although it should also offer some cover.
There is a workout room included, although the Y.M.C.A. is on the next block.
I think it would be a great place for Y.S.U. professors to live.
Anyone who writes more than one paragraph about this is wasting everyones eye-power. One thing is sure....$1200-$1400 to start is a joke. Nobody will live there and if they do, they will not be able to make those payments after a few months. With home prices where they are, $1200-$1400 could get you something WAY better than these apartments!!!! Have fun lugging your furniture and everything else up the elevator, "tenants".
This thread is just commical.
Here's all these people who have a grand total of ZERO experience doing something like this, yacking on about how this Cleveland Businessman who actually has done things like this many times, is going to fail and doesnt know what he's doing. . .
Yeah - lets listen to and take the advice of all these arm-chair property developers and weekend warrior business folk. Clearly they know much more than someone who does this for a living. Yeah - this guy got wealthy by doing stupid things and throwing his money away on projects that are obvious failures.
You morons might want to try to take a chance or create something unique sometime rather than sitting comfortably on the sidelines blathering on about someone who does try. Who knows - maybe you might wind up rich and then can throw away your money on a stupid project.
The dream keeps going ! You better wake up Williams and Y-Town your having a nightmare ! Who in there right mind would want to live in Downtown . Maybe if that deal is done with Girard people can watch the construction and then inhale the pollution or exhaust from Star Steel. It sounds so exciting, but some times when Dreaming you here sounds. The sound I hear is what a waste of money !
Do you get a free parking space with this apartment? Where?
Seriously, are we "arm-chair property developers" or are we just saying what it really is? I've been looking for a home for a year now and in my travels never heard of or even considered living in Youngstown. Let alone live there spending $1300-2400 in RENT! Not making a house payment on something I will eventually own, IN RENT!
Call it was it is, a mistake. Here's the list...
1) Thinking anyone in their right mind would live in Youngstown.
2) Pay $1300-$2400 to live there.
3) Send their kids to Younstown schools that are now academically in danger.
4) Live in an apartment that looks like any condo in Poland or Canfield.
5) Live in the Realty Towers where there are no services like grocery stores, drug stores.
6) Think someone will move from areas like Poland and Canfield so they can do what? Live near a job in Youngstown?
My prediction, after a couple years when half the building continues to be vacant, the apartments will become low rent housing, fall into disrepair, and my children will be reading in the paper that they'll either finally be tearing the building down or the city will be asking for more money so they can rebuild.
Good luck on the Smokey Hollow project. There's another winner of an idea.
Someone, please tell me what these projects are really going to do for a financially failing soon to be deserted city where the average income is $30,0000 at best.
If anybody is waiting to capitalize on picking up pieces in Youngstown, you'll have a long wait. It's not gonna happen in our lifetime.
I can understand that reasoning for an area that has a future like a Cleveland or Pittsburgh, but Youngstown? What would an investor have to look forward to by buying properties here? When you drop a pebble in water the ripples keep going out. That is the same for the population of Youngstown. They go out to Boardman, Liberty, and Austintown. And as long as the problems follow, the population will continue to go out further. Drive out and see all the developements springing up on the outskirts of Canfield, Poland and southern Boardman. I could see in this day buying property cheap there but not in Y-town.
A company can move into downtown bringing 1,000 jobs. Does anybody really think most of the employees would live in Youngstown? You have city workers now trying to fight to live out of the city. And succeeding.
Finally, let's call it what it is. People want to feel safe. Want to live in a safe enviroment, have their children go to a good school. People want convenience. They want to be able to go to the grocery store in five minutes. They want to shop in a store where you don't have to wait in line behind the single mom who is tugging five rowdy kids pulling out her foodstamps. Youngstown doesn't offer any of this.
Trying to repopulate the city by building apartments, condos, and housing (Smokey Hollow project), is an expensive mistake. One that I am happy not to be a part of, but sad to see the money wasted.
The only reason the city and neighboring suburs are in the shape they're in, is becuase of the continued sprawl. Anything to reverse that trend is a good thing for the city AND the suburbs. If this trend doesn't reverse, the city and suburbs will continue to decline.
I wonder why Cleveland has one of the fastest growning downtown residential populations in the state? They generally have more crime than Youngstown, and their schools are just about as bad.(for all intents and purposes)
When I was considering moving to downtown Cleveland 10 years ago, there weren't any of the conveniences you speak of. But as the population continued to grow, now there are. So, there is some truth to the expression "build it and they will come."
One reason why downtown Cleveland has a draw for a population is because of it's sports. Three major stadiums. Remember when the Cavs used to play in Richfield? That was built in the middle of nowhere. The Richfield Coliseum was perfect for everyone in Youngstown and Akron. You could attend NBA games and concerts and be in and out of the area in minutes but it was bad for Cleveland business. When they brought the Cavs and concerts back to the city area businesses profitted. Cleveland also has the lake area, the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, a major museum, a major airport, not to mention a bigger population base, a laundry list of reasons why it's easier to see a rebuilding of that city.
Basically, comparing Cleveland with an est. population of 400,000 - 500,000 in city 2,000,000 in the surrounding area to Youngstown 70,000 in city est. 600,000 in the surrounding area is comparing a cherry to an apple. What works there will not work here.
I do agree with you that Youngstowns major problem is the sprawl. And I can see the decline make its way up Mahoning Ave. and Market Street pushing those residents further out (my pebble in the pond analogy). But Youngstown does not have the finances nor the mindset to change any of this. When Youngstown was in it's heyday it enjoyed being called crime city USA. It was proud of it. Look where that got it. Taken advantage of by people who wanted a city position so they can "get their cut". A rusted hole in the wall that shouldn't be worthy of being mentioned on a map. Filled with people who think the steel mills are coming back and others sitting on their behinds collecting a government check. Youngstown named their team the Steelhounds! The mills shut down 30 yrs ago! Wake up.
You call it negativity, I call it realism. Look to the past and you'll see there is no solution. Youngstown started as a coal mining town and grew from there. From coal it went to steel. All along gaining a population in a time when walking was your best transportation so housing grew around the mills and the city. My family being one. Now Y-town has no jobs and no need for people to walk when you can get anywhere in 20 mins. by car.
As for a solution, I never offered one. I do have an opinion. And that is that spending millions of dollars on expensive housing is not an answer.
Perhaps when I see a fully occupied Realty tower, a tower that can sustain itself for more than a year or two, I'll change my mind.
So, I assume we'll be seeing your change of address to the Towers soon?
I applaud you passion and desire. Renovating a historic home in Youngstown is a worthwhile endeavor for the right kind of person in the right kind of position. I have often said that the Northside homes were built with character and a special kind of quality. So different from now when each new house looks like its neighbor, made with the cheapest materials, and has a price tag of $300,000.
I look at the towers and see such a missed opportunity to create something that had more of an urban feel. Exposed brick, open ceilings, a freight elevator. But instead there was little to no imagination. Almost as if the project was done the cheapest way possible. In fact, I have good information that one of the contractors who started the project went belly up in the middle of the job and another company had to not only finish, but had to correct the problems from the first guy.
I have a love of all history. I've looked at the old pictures of Youngstown and see what was. I look now at it's buildings, see the faded painted billboards on their side and imagine a better time. Perhaps it is my frustration with it's people and the MANY missed opportunities that fuel my anti-youngstown attitude. 2% of me has hope for Youngstown. 98% of me say logically, it won't happen in my lifetime.
I have friends that live in Poland. The feeling of community, the banding together to create its library and more recently its high school football stadium. Your right we need to be involved for a greater good. Perhaps I will enjoy what Poland has to offer. If for nothing else but a relaxing evening.

The Boise State Broncos, have announced their 2011 football schedule, which includes games against Georgia, Nevada, Tulsa, San Diego State and TCU.
Boise State will open the 2011 season on September 3 against the Georgia Bulldogs in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Other non-conference games for the Broncos include at Toledo (09/17), Tulsa (09/24), Nevada (10/01) and at Fresno State (10/08).
The Broncos will begin their inaugural season in the Mountain West on October 15 at Colorado State. The remainder of their MWC schedule includes Air Force (10/22),at UNLV (11/05), TCU (11/12), at San Diego State (11/19), Wyoming (11/26) and New Mexico (12/03).
Listed below are links to the 2011 Boise State football schedule (with tickets) and future schedules:
wow what a tough schedule again… (sarcasm)
Yep you're totally right games against Georgia in Atlanta at a so called neutral field the georgia dome, 4 top 25 AP ranked teams last season one of them ending the #2 team in the country TCU, oh and lets not forget San Diego State the team that barely got beat by TCU in the last minutes of the game. With that being said youre absolutely right it is a tough schedule and Boise State will prove themselves once again and hopefully do to all the NCAA violations with AQ teams Boise State may actually get a shot at the National Championship. Have a great day and next time do your research before typing something stupid.
WOW matt! tcu? relly? how bout yall go play a team like bama or lsu and see how that goes. try to play week end and week out in the sec.
Oh nooo Georgia, God forbid they play a team thats not a cupcake, whatever will Boise do????
i know i hope they beat air force
Compared to past BSU schedules, this one really isn't a cake walk. It's not SEC calibre, sure, but as if many of the ACC teams are really going through anything more impressive.
The ACC is tons better then the Mountain West. Why would you even suggest that it wasn't.
Can we say wide right or wait even better wide left another choking season but it will happen at fsu hahahahahaha
The ACC is no where near as tough as the MWC this year. Not a single team in the ACC has a chance at winning the title.
You idiot u put just about any team in the acc into the mwc and they run the table, wake up
Ok, let's imagine that Duke played in the MWC. How many wins will they get? New Mexico, that's one, maybe UNLV if the.game is un Durham… that's about it… Wake Forest will do just like Duke, maybe a bit better. NC State surely gets all the bottom feeders, but don't tell me they easily crush every other MWC team, 5-3, or 6-2… BC will go just around that maybe 5-3… FSU and VT are they only teams that could go undefeated or with one loss… they are the only ones that will compete against BSU and TCU… Clemson could also compete as well as Miami… but they most probably go 0-2 vs them… meanwhile MWC teams sighs as SDSU and Air Force playing all the ACC, I think we can say they will go anywhere from 4-8 to 8-4… BSU and TCU anywhere from 9-3/10-2 to 12-0!!!

HP A-1540n Hard drive cage
I have lost the hard drive mounting cage for my desktop. Is there a way to get a replacement mounting cage for this model pc?
Re: HP A-1540n Hard drive cage
I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for review. You should hear back from someone shortly on the HP Support Forum.
Re: HP A-1540n Hard drive cage
The internal cage can not be ordered. Of greater concern is the XP OS. It's scheduled for an End of Life Cycle.
That means no support, no upgrades, no virus protection or support for MS Office 2003.
