For fifteen years, I have kept Claud's hollandaise recipe a mystery. It wasn't that I didn't want other people to know how to make it. I didn't want to know how to make it myself. I cook pretty much everything this family eats except for eggs Benedict. Eggs Benedict is our special meal for my birthday and for Mother's Day. I never watch him cook it. On those special occasions, I just waited to be served.
This past weekend was a crazy one for us. We had tons of family arrive for my cousin's wedding. Alyssa was married on Friday night at The Mandalay Bay Hotel. It was such a beautiful wedding. We were so happy to see family. Most of them flew in from Colorado. My parents came in from California. We had the best time showing everyone around and going to the wedding on Friday. My cousin looked amazing. The spinach dip at the wedding was out of this world. I think I started just eating it with a spoon like it was a casserole or something. I couldn't stop.

Hollandaise sauce tops the English muffins that have been toasted and layered with Canadian bacon and poached eggs. A side of asparagus accompanies the Eggs Benedict.
We also welcomed some of our dear Minnesota friends, Sadi and Jed Hunstad to Fabulous Las Vegas. We took them to Freemont Street where we found the absolute best pizza place. We danced to a classic rock band one night. Then, we partied like rock stars at a club called Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel. We didn't go home until the next morning. I am not used to that. It was so much fun and I survived it all just fine. I guess I'm not that old after all.
Thursday through Saturday was pretty much a blur. I remember drinking lots of wine, dancing on several occasions, and eating more than I should have. By the time Sunday rolled around and all of our friends and family were gone, Claud and I woke up and realized it was Easter. Shoot! We hadn't planned anything. Obviously, all I was concerned with was what we would eat. So, I told Claud I was ready to learn how to make his amazing eggs Benedict. I didn't think I could get away with having him do it all himself. We were both exhausted at this point. He agreed to teach me if I was willing to help. Deal!
I ran to the store and bought everything we were missing: more eggs, butter, lemons, Canadian bacon, and English muffins. We were missing almost everything necessary to make it. By the time we started cooking, I realized that I had to leave in an hour to take Daphne to her band rehearsal. Claud said, "Don't worry. This only takes about twenty minutes." What? I thought this took at least an hour and that it was incredibly complicated. I had really exaggerated how difficult this dish is to make.
Fact Box
Eggs Benedict
Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
5 egg yolks
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
juice of 1 1/2 lemons
4 sticks butter, melted to liquid but not separated
1/2 cup white vinegar
8 eggs
4 English muffins
2 tablespoons orange juice
Pinch of salt and pepper
8 pieces Canadian bacon
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Use a double boiler or make your own with a pot of boiling water and a bowl to place on top. Lower the temperature until you have a gentle rolling boil. Whisk together the egg yolks and mustard and lemon juice. Place the bowl into the hot water and keep whisking. Slowly add the melted butter and keep whisking vigorously. Sometimes you have to remove the bowl from the heat if the butter tries to separate. Keep adding the butter slowly until all of it is whisked in and the hollandaise is creamy. Boil water in another pot. Add vinegar. Slowly ladle in the eggs to poach them for about four minutes. You want the egg yolk to stay runny. Toast the English muffins. Add orange juice, salt and pepper to the hollandaise sauce and whisk. Place the Canadian bacon on the English muffin. Place the poached eggs on top. Pour on the hollandaise. Sprinkle cayenne pepper on top.
It's just so amazingly delicious. I seriously cannot eat eggs Benedict anywhere else because it never tastes nearly as good as Claud's. I know, you are thinking I am just biased because he is my husband. But, people would travel from long distances and cancel important plans to eat his eggs Benedict (Kathy Grothem). Okay, Kathy didn't have to travel that far; but, she knows what I am talking about. My entire family loves this dish. That doesn't happen very often.
My mom called as I was buying everything at the store. I told her what I was doing. She was so upset because she just left yesterday. She couldn't believe she was missing this meal. She told me she couldn't eat eggs Benedict anywhere else anymore either. I apologized and told her it was a last minute decision. One of the reasons I only usually eat this dish twice a year is because it calls for so much butter and lots of egg yolks. It just wouldn't be a good idea to eat this very often. We used four sticks of butter in the sauce. That's crazy! I recently ran across a recipe for hollandaise, which doesn't include any butter or eggs. I just can't get myself to try it. One day I might but I know it can't taste anything like this. I was surprised to see how easy Claud's hollandaise was to make. Why did I think it would be so hard?
When we first sat down, Jack said, "Did you only make two each?" I loved his enthusiasm. He ended up leaving some of the two on his plate. It is so rich and buttery. People rarely eat seconds. We served it with asparagus and ate outside in the beautiful sunshine. The whole thing felt very festive. Easter was a success.

Hey all, Got my order of Flytrap Factory goodies last week and thought I'd throw some pictures up and a quick review, enjoy!
Great review. US Marines look great and Taliban arent to bad.
Id love to see a PLA sqaud set.
Where are the WWII German 44-45 Winter Infantry that were showcased ages ago? Given impending BF releases they would sell like the proverbial
thanks for posting the review, i like the USMC a lot
Thank you for your kind review Werwulf.
The month long wait for delivery is a worry I'll look in to.
The small exterior bubbles on the hummers were an early issue we came across using too much pressure in the casting process. They normally flick off easily with the brush of a scalpel (although we firmly believe that the less clean up the better!)
With our latest moulds we believe the problem has been rectified.
George as for the WW2 Volksgrenadier germans we showcased many moons ago, an aggressive roadblock temporarily halted our delivery of this product. The cogs are in motion again and all I can say is keep an eye out for us.
Thanks againThe Baron
Baron, could there be any future possibility of Modern Indian or Pakistani squads in this range?

Good enough!

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – In Acts, Pentecost took the Holy Spirit. But in Huntsville and Madison every week, it takes a lot of patient volunteers to help people from many nations learn how to speak a language, English, that most in this area understand.
Weatherly Baptist Church and First Baptist in Huntsville are continuing two of the longest-running programs for English as a Second Language, both starting free fall classes this week and next week.
"We are starting with 10 classes this year and will expand as the need arises," said Becky Harchanko, who coordinates the program at Weatherly Heights Baptist Church on Cannstatt Drive just behind the YMCA on Weatherly Drive in south Huntsville. The program celebrates its 17th year this year. "We have had students from more than 30 different countries."
Weatherly's free classes include citizenship, GED, pronunciation and idioms, conversation, beginning to advanced levels of English and a reading and writing class for those who need basic improvement. Similar choices are available at First Baptist – and any of the free programs in the area that don't offer something someone needs are connected to the others.
All of the programs welcome volunteers, too, whether as teachers, tutors, or extra hands to help with childcare or snacks.

Syracuse, NY - A Georgia man who terrorized an elderly Manlius couple during an Easter Sunday break-in at their home apologized in court today and said he hopes the victims can forgive him.
Calling his conduct "very childish," Mark Rolland contended he was never intending to hurt anyone.
But County Judge Joseph Fahey called the crime "one of the most cowardly, predatory incidents" he'd ever encountered in his legal career.
Fahey sentenced Rolland to 15 years in state prison, noting the defendant deserved every day of that punishment, if not more.
Rolland, 43, of Macon, pleaded guilty June 4 to first-degree burglary in the April 4 incident at the Wildwood Ridge Apartments on Highbridge Street.
According to Assistant District Attorney Kari Armstrong, Rolland first had a friendly encounter with the couple at a car wash in DeWitt before he followed them to the nearby Kmart store on Erie Boulevard East and then to their home.
When the 82-year-old wife answered a knock on the apartment door, Rolland talked his way inside, the prosecutor said. He then put the woman in the bathroom and was going through the apartment when he was confronted by the 90-year-old husband.
Rolland armed himself with a broom handle, but the husband was able to wrestle it away and used it to knock the intruder to the floor, Armstrong said. Rolland fled when the woman came out of the bathroom and began screaming, officials said.
In court today, Armstrong said the prosecution agreed to the 15-year plea deal with Rolland to spare the elderly victims from the trauma of having to relive the "incredible ordeal" by testifying about it in court at trial.
Defense lawyer Theodore Stenuf told the judge Rolland had been extremely remorseful and had immediately accepted responsibility for his conduct. The defense lawyer blamed the incident on the fact Rolland has a severe substance abuse problem and mental health issues for which he was not on necessary medication.
He also claimed the fact the 90-year-old husband was able to disarm Rolland showed that Rolland had no intent to harm anyone during the break-in.
Rolland made that claim himself, adding he and the husband fell to the floor while wrestling over the broom handle. He denied being struck by the victim with the broom handle and claimed he willingly gave back the elderly man's wallet before he apologized and fled the scene.
Outside court, Armstrong said she believed Rolland was minimizing what happened and that the wallet may have only been left behind when Rolland dropped it while being struck with the broom handle by the victim.
Rolland told Fahey he hoped the victims would have mercy so they could forgive him, forget the incident and not carry him around in their hearts. He also told the judge he wasn't looking for pity, just prayers.
Fahey noted that he would have had no hesitation sentencing Rolland to the maximum penalty of 25 years in state prison had the case gone to trial and ended with a conviction.
Rolland agreed with the judge that he deserved his state prison penalty.

There's just one more year, with certainty, on the contract of New Orleans Hornets Coach Monty Williams, with a team option for a fourth, terms of the original deal Williams signed when he took over prior to the 2010-11 season.
Burdened this year with the loss of two All-Stars and the season-long injury to the new player around whom the Hornets hoped to build, Williams instilled a work-ethic into this season's team that kept New Orleans competitive in most games despite glaring personnel deficiences.
The Hornets were 6-4 in the last 10 games of the season and finished the year 21-45.
Williams was hired when George Shinn, who had a reputation as an owner who pinched his pennies, still owned the club so it's likely Williams' salary doesn't approach the average coaches pay, which in 2010 was about $3.5 million per season. Williams' salary has not been dilvulged.
Do you think new ownership should extend Williams contract and give him a raise as one of the first orders of business once the Board of Governors approves the sale?
Give us your thoughts.

How do you Play Horn and Whirl Bets?
Horn Betting in Craps
A horn bet is single roll bet with the combination of numbers 12, 11, 3 and 2. The horn bet actually has four individual bets on numbers 12,11,3 and 2. So, your bet is divided into four parts. Just like the three way craps bet, if you win in the Horn bet, you will win on the shown number and lose the remaining three bets.
If the number points to a 2, then the payoff ratio will be 30:1 and immediately you will lose the bet of 11, 12 and 3.
If a shooter points to a 12, then too the payoff ratio will be 30:1 and the bet of 11, 3, and 2 will be lost. The chips boxes are clearly kept in the following numbers individually.
Since the dealer of the casino has complete control of the Horn Bet, so he will divide the chips into four parts and put them on the 12, 11, 3 and 2 boxes. Generally most of the casinos keep boxes for Horn Bets.
Whenever you make a horn Bet in craps always keep in mind that after the division into four parts, the chips have to be even in number i.e. they must be divisible in four parts. Most of them must not be aware of the fact that if there are one two or three extra chips, then they will be taken over by the casino itself.
In case you win and if the payoff includes some fractions of a dollar, then as the casino cannot pay you the fraction, it will keep it for them. Most of the players due to their lousy nature would not want to do the mathematics will probably give a treat to the casino.
They would prefer tossing for one $5 chip and then say "horn High Twelve". Now, after this the dealer will make four non fraction bets and put the leftover on the called number. For a Horn High 12, a $5 chip will be changed by the dealer into five 1$ chips.
Then, the dealer will then put one dollar each on the numbers 12,11,3 and 2. Then, for the remaining $ 1, the dealer will put the same in number 12. So that will make $2 for the number 12 bet. So, the number 12 will have higher amount of bet as compared to the other three ones.
Whirl Bets in Craps
A whirl bet also called as the world is a single roll bet with the combination of all four Horn Bets as well as the Any Seven.
Therefore, your calculation should be such that your bet is exactly 20 percent so that they can be equally dealt in the five numbers.
A player wins a whirl bet if he wins any of the five numbers i.e. 12, 11, 3, 2 or a 7 and will lose if any of the numbers don't show up.
So, if it shows a 3 or an 11, then the payouts will be in the ratio of 15:1 and immediately the other numbers lose. If it's 2 or a 12, then the ratio of payout will be 30:1 and the others will lose.
If the number seven shows up, then the payoff ratio will be 4:1 and you will lose the number 3, 2, 12, and 11. Basically, if you roll a seven on a whirl bet, you get your money back.
It all depends on the layout of the table that the Whirl Bet should have a separate box or not at the center of a casino table. If the layout does not approve of the box, then the dealer will typically divide the chips into five parts and will place them accordingly in the numbers.
Again, if you win, the result of the payoff has fractions of one dollar then the casino will not pay you the fraction and will keep for them. You have to be smart and play smart too and learn the proper technique of playing the craps in the right manner. Now that you know the rules of the game, play the craps with a correct strategy.

The drought is over. And the celebration continues in earnest.
After going without a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup, Arsenal ended their title drought on Saturday by defeating Hull City in this year's FA Cup, 3-2 in extra time, finally ending a long period without any silverware.
And on Sunday, they celebrated with a well-earned parade, which we'll relive below.
We start with the players boarding the bus and Aaron Ramsey working the megaphone, per Arsenal's official Twitter account:
Watch the boys get on board. They are lively! #GunningForTheCup https://t.co/dw0uLtfT2g— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 18, 2014
The team's Spanish players—Mikel Arteta, Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal—posed for a picture as the parade began, per Arsenal:
The Spaniards on the bus @m8arteta @19SCazorla #GunningForTheCup pic.twitter.com/ECleSNoOKB— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 18, 2014
Here are the Gunners on the bus, per ESPNFC:
MT: Here's the @Arsenal team bus as it sets off for Islington Town Hall: pic.twitter.com/V1sQwiNrzq— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 18, 2014
And here is the welcome party that awaited them, per Arsenal:
The view from the bus. The best fans in the world. pic.twitter.com/y40SOrb5B6— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 18, 2014
Do you think those folks are excited to celebrate the end of the drought?
A few more Gunners posed with the trophy on the route, via Arsenal:
Here's @Podolski10, @_OlivierGiroud_, Mathieu Flamini and Laurent Koscielny on the bus posing with the FA Cup pic.twitter.com/p8L248qSTy— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 18, 2014
Meanwhile, Kieran Gibbs appreciated the support—and in other news, probably really appreciated Ramsey's winner after he missed a sitter of his own earlier—as he told Mirror Football:
Gibbs says the support out in north London today "reiterates how big the club is" - http://t.co/gJQfiFHJaJ— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) May 18, 2014
And of course, we can't forget Gunnersaurus. Squawka Football certainly didn't:
Gunnersaurus is guiding the Arsenal FA Cup victory parade like only a man in a giant dinosaur costume could... #AFC pic.twitter.com/yuACetFLAx— Squawka Football (@Squawka) May 18, 2014
Arsene Wenger had his moment with the trophy, in front of the club's adoring fans:
This is what it's all about... the boss at Islington Town Hall with his FIFTH FA Cup #GunningForTheCup pic.twitter.com/5tSJLbiX0t— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 18, 2014
And Mirror Football couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun at Jose Mourinho during the proceedings:
Latest: The Arsenal bus has parked up for a little while to allow players to address the fans. http://t.co/gJQfiFHJaJ pic.twitter.com/nTTKvOxi3E— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) May 18, 2014
One of the moments of the parade had to be Per Mertesacker leading the following chant, via Squawka Football:
Per Mertesacker has been handed the microphone... "I'm Arsenal 'til I die!" https://t.co/5ogEQo6E1l [via @fkhanage]— Squawka Football (@Squawka) May 18, 2014
Though you could make an argument Gooners most enjoyed Jack Wilshere sharing his thoughts on Tottenham, per Mirror Football (note: the Vine included contains profanity):
Wilshere: "What do you think of Tottenham?" Arsenal players: "S***". https://t.co/LFfwbPwyWw http://t.co/gJQfiFHJaJ— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) May 18, 2014
Podolski certainly earned a few fans in England when he shared his thoughts on the FA Cup, via Mirror Football:
Podolski says the FA Cup is the "greatest Cup in the world". http://t.co/gJQfiFHJaJ— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) May 18, 2014
That might be a bit of an overstatement, but in North London, it's hard to imagine a more important trophy at the moment.
Still, Arsenal is one of England's most prestigious clubs and one of the biggest in the world, so the hope will be that this title will lead to bigger and better things, and not simply start an all new silverware drought.
Buoyed by a strong league finish that saw the club remain atop the table for a solid chunk of the season and earn their most points in the Premier League (79) since 2007-08, faithful Gooners will be expecting big things next year.
Wenger will likely sign a contract extension in the coming days. The club has the money to make several big splashes on the transfer market. Had players like Theo Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshere and Mesut Ozil, amongst others, not lost substantial time to injuries (or in the case of Walcott, had their season cut short), the Gunners might have competed for a league title this year.
If they stay healthy next year and the team can add some key contributors (another forward and a true defensive midfielder would be nice), well, there should be more parades for the Gunners a year from now.

So I'm playing the game and suddenly it freezes. When I open Task Manager I can see its saying "gta_sa.exe Not responding" I don't have any mods installed. I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit. I'm running GTA:SA in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode.

Hi and welcome. We're going to need a little more information. Is it around a certain mission? Did you just start playing? I'd try a reinstall first to see what that does.
Posted 29 August 2013 - 09:55 AM
Well I just installed it few days ago, but I played it before. I'm not doing any missions. Just running around and killing people.
Posted 29 August 2013 - 04:55 PM
Run it on a lower end PC or laptop, it'd be the best plan of action and not cost heaps of cash. Win8 in 64bit is simply overkill for a game made in 2005-6
Also, try more then one partition for multiple OS support boots, or try an OS on flash RAM using USB 3.0 sticks now at the 128GB size! I'm going to get one or more!
Posted 29 August 2013 - 06:00 PM
This doesn't help me. I want to play it on my pc.

Click here to print the obituary below
Harry Maurice Farah (August 12, 1932 - April 1, 2014) Harry M. Farah lost his long battle with cancer early Tuesday morning. Harry was born in Beaumont, Texas. He was the sixth of six children born to Amelia and John Farah, Jr. Harry studied at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (since renamed
Texas A&M University
) and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1956. As a proud Aggie, in his office he had a framed photograph of himself in uniform leading a marching unit during a 1954 Corps of Cadets parade in Dallas, he always wore his Aggie ring, and he was a generous donor to the Texas A&M Alumni Association. After his graduation Harry served in the U.S.
. Ironically, his first posting was at his alma mater where he was assigned as a design instructor at the same architectural program from which he had just graduated. His second assignment brought him to Fort Bliss, where he worked as the Post Architect. He was honorably discharged from the military in 1959 with a rank of 1st Lieutenant. Harry chose to settle in El Paso, which remained his home for the duration of his life. He continued serving in the Army National Guard rising to the rank of Captain when he was honorably discharged in 1965. Harry received his Architectural license in 1962 and was admitted to membership in the American Institute of Architects two-years later. He was subsequently licensed as an Interior Designer and admitted to membership by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. Harry maintained an active architectural practice until two-years ago. He operated as a sole practitioner in a design/build capacity and he was attentive to every aspect of his projects including custom-built concrete block, elaborate patterns of natural stone, and custom-designed wrought-iron, molding, lighting fixtures, and even furniture. Among his projects were: an addition to the former La Caverna hotel in Carlsbad, New Mexico; assisting William Kolliker and Vladimir Alvarado in the casting of the two large eagle sculptures that adorn the top of Amistad Dam; the interior design of the former Arthur's restaurant in Cd. Juarez; and a private residence in Ruidoso, New Mexico. But, the overwhelming majority of his projects were in his adopted home of El Paso, Texas and included: a mid-rise medical office building off Cliff Drive (today the Providence Cliff Medical Building); the former Border Tobacco building on Paisano Drive (today Las Alas); the former Beefeaters and Taffy Jones restaurants; an industrial building; the Diplomat apartments in Sunset Heights; a townhome development in Mesa Hills; renovation of an former TB sanatorium into a luxury condominium complex within which he had his home and office; and numerous high-end single-family residences, many of which dot the Coronado County Club area. Harry never lost his faith in El Paso. Among his unexecuted designs were a conceptual high-rise office tower adjacent to the former Border Tobacco building, a high-rise condominium tower at the periphery of Sunset Heights, a mid-rise savings and loan building proposed for the intersection of Hawkins Boulevard and Interstate Highway 10, conceptual plans for the renovation of buildings in the vicinity of the Plaza Theater, and plans for St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church for a site formerly owned by the church off Stanton Street. Harry was well-respected and generous to a fault. In business, his baritone voice exuded confidence, he had a no-nonsense attitude and he could communicate displeasure simply with a withering gaze.

Oak Grove's wandering goats are still homeless – sort of.
The goats were spotted running loose near Southeast River Road and Courtney Road on July 2. Clackamas County sheriff's deputies rounded them up and took them to a "foster home" nearby.
Deputies then thought they had everything solved later that day when they were contacted by an Oak Grove-area resident who said the roaming Nubians – a buck and a doe – belonged to him.
"We said, 'Oh, great – problem solved,' and we put out the word that the goats were reunited with their owner," said Sgt. Nathan Thompson, sheriff's office spokesman. "But it turned out he called us before he looked in his backyard to see if his goats were missing.
"To this day, the goats' real owner has not come forward," Thompson said.
The good-natured goats have remained at their foster home while deputies put out the word about them – again.
Thompson said the goats are like any found property. If no one claims them after 90 days, they fall into the rule of legal finders-keepers.
"After all this time, we're really leaning toward the idea that they were abandoned," Thompson said. "That's crazy because these are domesticated animals that need to be given food and water. But at least the foster home is taking good care of them."
Thompson said the goats' owner should call 503-655-8211.

Time to stand up for small business
There is a plague that is sweeping across my hometown. It isn't something that is unique to Niles, but it affects everyone in some way or another. The symptoms are easy to notice. Buildings stand empty all along U.S. Route 422, up Robins Avenue and throughout the downtown area. "For Rent" signs cover the area, but none ever seem to be filled. If they are, it isn't for long. Why is this happening? That's pretty simple to explain, actually.
The problem lies in something most people don't know about. The IRS, everyone's least favorite government organization, offers tax breaks to property owners. These tax breaks are for buildings that are available for rent but remain unrented. This allows the property owners to demand high rates for empty properties. The price asked is out of balance with the market, meaning that it is kept higher than renters are willing or able to pay for similar properties. This allows the owners to appear as if they are trying to rent the property (something that is required for the tax break) without actually having to rent the properties. If the property is rented, it is usually not for long. This is because the cost of the space is so high that a starting business can not keep up. This only serves to prove that the owners are "actively trying to rent" the property, meaning they will continue to receive their tax credits.
While these buildings stay empty, they are often allowed to deteriorate until they are far out of code, and even unsafe. Building inspectors generally do not make inspections of these places until a new renter is found.
Many landlords require prospective new renters to make these repairs and improvements themselves, repairs that must be completed before moving in. This adds considerable expense to new business owners, expenses that often can not be met.
So, what does this mean to the average community member? Why should they care? When these buildings are rented, new businesses can open. New business means more than just a new place to shop. Small business owners provide new jobs, new opportunities and new products. Small business owners are friends and family.
They are the heart of the local economy. When you allow a stranglehold to be placed on a small business, you are helping to destroy the future of your town.
What can people do about it? Go to city council. Support the local businesses. Write to government representatives.
If people want their city to survive, the tax breaks and the bad landlords need to be stopped. It's time to stand up and defend this town.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- College football analyst Phil Steele, writing for ESPN.com, changed his Big Ten pick this week. He went from having Ohio State as part of the College Football Playoff as the Big Ten champ to picking the Buckeyes to go 10-2 in the regular season and finish second behind Michigan State in the East Division.
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit went from choosing the Buckeyes to win the national title and Braxton Miller to claim the Heisman Trophy to telling reporters on a conference call "all of a sudden from Ohio State, overnight I think Michigan State now is the team to beat in the Big Ten."
The Buckeyes in our cleveland.com poll in July were picked by 19 of 29 voters to win the Big Ten. That seems like a long time ago.
Now, with Miller out for the season while needing another surgery on his right shoulder, can this team win the Big Ten?
"Oh yes we can," senior linebacker Curtis Grant said Wednesday. "If we stick together and do what we're supposed to do, we shouldn't have any problems."
And if people are changing their minds on the Buckeyes?
"That's cool on their part," Grant said. "We can show you better than we can tell you."
Ohio State, originally ranked No. 5 in the AP preseason poll, has just one other team ranked in the preseason, No. 8 Michigan State, on its schedule. The Buckeyes aren't facing any true powers out of the gate. But the opener against Navy and a primetime home game against Virginia Tech in week two also aren't like facing Florida A&M.
"The nice thing about it is, we don't have any huge kicker games, so it will give us some time to get our feet wet before we jump into the Big Ten schedule," senior tight end Jeff Heuerman said, "which is kind of nice the way it is set up. We'll have some time to work out the kinks and stuff – I am sure there will be, there are every year – but we're looking forward to it."
So expectations for a conference title?
"They haven't changed, honestly," Heuerman said. "We just have to compete for championships."
Urban Meyer said he really liked his team after the way it practiced Wednesday morning without Miller. Things went so well that Meyer said the Buckeyes didn't have to go in full pads for the second practice on Wednesday afternoon.
When he was asked if the goals changed without Miller, Meyer gave the obvious non-answer type of response that you knew was coming.
"You know the answer to that," Meyer said, reinforcing a day-by-day approach.
"One thing that our team's been pretty good at and I've gotten better at is just worrying about the moment."
Among national college football analysts, a debate continues about whether the Buckeyes remain a contender for the four-team postseason playoff or not. As for realistic expectations in Columbus ...
"Realistic? The same," senior cornerback Doran Grant said. "The same expectations. We're Ohio State Buckeyes. We have to get there."
"People can count us out all they want," Curtis Grant said. "It's about what we want to do as a team. If we don't stick together, that's our fault. We're determined to stick together."

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Green is the dominant color of the Masters. The souvenir shop has all kinds of different colored shirts and hats, but by far the biggest seller is the green versions. The course is an immaculate green from its trees to the fairways, even though many of the yards aren't quite as picturesque. The members of Augusta National all wear green blazers and, of course, the winner gets the most famous green jacket around.
But outside the gates of Augusta National, green has a little different meaning. It means cash and there is a lot of it.
The first indication that this is a gigantic event is the parking at the local businesses along Washington Road. After exiting off Interstate 20, Washington is the main road to the golf course. During Masters week, most of the businesses turn their parking lots into parking for the tournament — at a hefty price. As you get closer to the main gates, the price grows from $10 at about two miles away. A little closer, $20. Closer, $30. Closer, $40. If you are wondering, Augusta National has free parking with a proper permit. We have a proper permit and get plenty of dirty looks as we cruise right up to the main gate.
But parking is only the beginning. There isn't much you can't buy along the way.
On the corner of Washington and Berckmans Road and just down along Azalea Drive, vendors were selling everything from food, to art work, to cigars to Jesus Christ (we'll get to the latter in a moment).
At Nathan's the three college kids were selling drinks and snacks according to Kim Rathbun, who normally is at school this time a year, but is on spring break and decided to work for a couple of days.
"We sold more drinks yesterday (Friday) because it was a warmer day," she said. "It's fun working here. We get to see a lot of different people from a lot of different countries."
Probably the best display, however, was the Bridgestone Golf van. They were custom fitting players to the new line of golf balls as well as other general equipment.
"We are real excited to be at Augusta this year," Mark Barber, from Covington, Ga., said. "This is the start of the season and Bridgestone is located in Georgia so we want to have a presence here.
"This is obviously the biggest time in golf."
Barber said the general knowledge of a golf-crazy Augusta crowd makes his job a little easier.
"There is an overall knowledge of the fans here and it just makes everything easier — for the most part," he said. "The challenging thing is — with our Bridgestone Challenge where we are custom fitting our golf balls to players — is to make a distinction between people's normal swing and mis-hits."
That general knowledge also branches off to one more vendor, Top Shelf Cigar and Tobacco Shoppe. According to Sharon Wilder, who owns the shop, many of the fans are cigar aficionados.
"Most of them know what they want," she said. "But you also find some that don't normally smoke and are looking for something just for this weekend."
Wilder said they have had a tent at the same location for three years and, "we will be here as long as they don't outlaw smoking."
One group I didn't talk to were the ones selling religion. There were at least three different sets yelling at cars and walkers passing by and they seemed pretty fired up. I didn't get an interview, however, because one of their signs said that "sports nuts" are going to hell. But then again, they said about 25 other groups were damned as well, so I think I'm going to be all right.
Oh, by the way, Jason Feldman and I had a brush with greatness Saturday, almost literally. While roaming around the clubhouse, checking out all the history in the building, I walked around the corner and ran face-to-face with a very hurried Tiger Woods. About a half step more and it might have made SportsCenter.

Volunteers from the Labor Day weekend Shoreline Spectacular Tuesday night charged a Muskegon City Hall "vendetta" against the first-year downtown festival.
Muskegon City Commissioners heard stories from volunteers and vendors that city staff and policies were designed to scuttle the event that was plagued by poor weather and sparse attendance. Organizers said they lost a substantial amount of money on the event designed to support local nonprofit agencies.
Much of the criticism was leveled at Muskegon Public Safety Director Tony Kleibecker and Mayor Steve Warmington.
After the Tuesday city commission meeting, Kleibecker said he has not heard specifically from the Shoreline Spectacular organizers and could not address their specific criticisms.
"We have not heard anything from Ms. Carey since the event," Kleibecker said of organizer Pamela Carey. "It is premature to discuss the issues without first having contact with the group."
Warmington said city staff has worked well with dozens of other special-event organizations over the years.
"We probably have had 100 special-event liquor licenses this year in the city and this is the only one that has been a problem," Warmington told The Chronicle.
The Shoreline Spectacular volunteers claimed city officials were "playing dirty politics" when it came to several issues:
• Too many festival-paid officers were required for the event when other festivals had no such requirements.
• Kleibecker had the special use liquor license application for five months but did not sign off on it until two days before the event.
• The city did not allow for setup of the festival along West Western Avenue until six hours before the event.
• A Michigan State Liquor Control Commission license to sell spirits along with beer and wine was issued but city police did not allow the sale of spirits to continue in the festival beer tent after Friday night.
• The city in effect took sides to support the Breakwater Festival at Pere Marquette Park on the same weekend. Warmington was said to have a "conflict of interest" because his business — The Marine Tap Room in Lakeside — supported the Breakwater event.
"Why should the Shoreline festival have to pay for the police officers?" volunteer Tammy Rose said of nine officers required during the day and 11 at night. The festival had a bill of more than $30,000 for city-supplied services and equipment.
"Those officers were huddled under our vendor tents to stay out of the rain," Rose said, asking why the officers were not dismissed. "All of the people had gone home."
Rose said that Kleibecker had a "personal vendetta" against the festival and its organizer.
The liquor license dispute on the sale of spirits seemed to generate most of the anger from festival organizers.
"We had the right documents and the signature of the police chief," said volunteer Bryan Gemmel. "Still we were told to stop selling because Tony (Kleibecker) said he didn't want it. It's all because one man said no. I want to know why."
Warmington asked that festival organizers first meet with city staff before pursuing the issue again with commissioners.
On the issue of the liquor license, Warmington said the city commission has the final say on whether spirits are able to be sold in beer tents. The commission did not approve the sale of spirits for the Shoreline Spectacular and in recent years only have when drink portions were pre-poured, the mayor said. He said he doubted the commission would ever allow "free-pour" spirit sales at a beer tent.
As to the charge of favoritism of the Breakwater festival, Warmington said that as mayor he voted for everything the Shoreline Spectacular had requested along with all other commissioners. As a private business owner, he said he supported the Breakwater event on the west end of town the same way downtown bar owners supported the Shoreline Spectacular.
Finally, Gerald Andre Jr. — a volunteer and a performer at the festival — charged police harassment while walking with a friend at Fourth Street and West Western Avenue the Sunday of the event.
Commissioner Larry Spataro said that Andre needs to file a formal complaint with the city's Citizen's Police Review Board.
"If true, then it should be corrected," Spataro said of Andre's allegations.
Spataro also said that the city commission in such tight budgetary times needs to establish more specific policies on City Hall assistance with special events. He said he will bring the topic up during the commission's goal-setting session before the next festival season.

Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him.

The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his.

(Commonly known as ST. CHAD.)
Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop successively of York and Lichfield, England ; date of birth uncertain, died 672.
He is often confounded with his brother, St. Cedd, also Abbot of Lastingham and the Bishop of the East Saxons. He had two other brothers, Cynibill and Caelin, who also became priests. Probably Northumbrian by birth, he was educated at Lindisfarne under St. Aidan, but afterwards went to Ireland, where he studied with St. Ecgberht in the monastery of Rathmelsige ( Melfont ). There he returned to help his brother St. Cedd to establish the monastery of Laestingaeu, now Lastingham in Yorkshire. On his brother's death in 664, he succeeded him as abbot.
Shortly afterwards St. Wilfrid, who had been chosen to succeed Tudi, Bishop of Lindisfarne, went to Gaul for consecration and remained so long absent that King Oswiu determined to wait no longer, and procured the election of Chad as Bishop of York, to which place the Bishopric of Lindisfarne had been transferred. As Canterbury was vacant, he was consecrated by Wini of Worcester, assisted by two British bishops. As bishop he visited his diocese on foot, and laboured in an apostolic spirit until the arrival of St. Theodore, the newly elected Archbishop of Canterbury who was making a general visitation. St. Theodore decided that St. Chad must give up the diocese to St. Wilfrid, who had now returned. When he further intimated that St. Chad's episcopal consecration had not been rightly performed, the Saint replied, "If you decide that I have not rightly received the episcopal character, I willingly lay down the office; for I have never thought myself worthy of it, but under obedience, I, though unworthy, consented to undertake it". St. Theodore, however, desired him not to relinquish the episcopate and himself supplied what was lacking ("ipse ordinationem ejus denuo catholica ratione consummavit" -- Bede, Hist. Eccl. IV, 2). Ceadda then returned to Lastingham, where he remained till St. Theodore called him in 669 to become Bishop of the Mercians. He built a church and monastery at Lichfield, where he dwelt with seven or eight monks, devoting to prayer and study time he could spare from his work as bishop. He received warning of his death in a vision.
His shrine, which was honoured by miracles, was removed in the twelfth century to the cathedral at Lichfield, dedicated to Our Lady and the Saint himself. At the Reformation his relics were rescued from profanation by Catholics, and they now lie in the Catholic cathedral at Birmingham, which is dedicated to him. His festival is kept on the 2nd of March. All accounts of his life are based on that given by Venerable Bede, who had been instructed in Holy Scripture by Trumberct, one of St. Chad's monks and disciples.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Rebelstar 2 - The Game that Never Was
7 comments:
Cool the fifth in the series. Would love to see the made.ReplyDelete
Rebelstar Raiders
Rebelstar II: Alien Enconter
Rebelstar: Tactical Command
Rebelstar 2: The Meklon Conspiracy
I did find Rebelstar: Search For The Lon Gun but don't know if its part of the series
I loved the GBA Rebelstar game - I'm surprised it didn't take off, as it had a lot of the character and story appeal of SRPG franchises like Super Robot Taisen and Fire Emblem, and at least as compelling a tactical engine.ReplyDelete
Pity "The Meklon Conspiracy" was never to be...
I liked the GBA game but didn't learn of it's existance until at least a year or so after launch - I'm guessing the marketing wasn't 'all that'. It was pretty well received (78 score on Metacritic) I see.ReplyDelete
Rebelstar II: Alien (lololololol) Encounter was my favourite of the series by far. One mission, but soooo much replay value.

Rebelstar 2: The Meklon Conspiracy needs to hit Kickstarter.With the hype from XCOM-1 (PC exclusive) now is a perfect time. If it were a Vita game then it would hit a modest goal because the fanbase of Rebelstar and Vita are passionate and niche, plus Vita has a good attach rate so it would sell okay.ReplyDelete

Oops, meant Xcom2.ReplyDelete
This concept art is awesome... it's a shame you never actually made the game! I'd drop playing Mobile Strike Online in a heartbeat if this game were suddenly released.ReplyDelete

Beckley, WV (NNCNOW.com) --- A reporter covering a murder scene in Beckley, WV, thought she almost became the victim of a drive by shooting on Saturday, July 12.
WVVA reporter Annie Moore was recording video of an apartment complex where a body was found when she thought she heard a shot ring out just as a late model ford pickup truck with a silver tool box in the back drove by.
Moore says she felt the bullet whiz by her head and immediately took cover in the news vehicle. However, police say the reporter actually heard an aging pickup truck backfire.
Beckley police detective Morgan Bragg said Friday, July 18 the driver of the truck was passing by the crime scene when his vehicle backfired, as he said it is prone to do.
Moore wasn't alone. Bragg tells media outlets officers on the scene of the slaying initially mistook the sound of the backfiring truck for a gunshot.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have played their home games in full exposure to the elements, whether they be sunshine, rain or snow, and however windy it may be on the Lake Erie shore.
Browns football has been identified in part with the conditions that both players and fans have battled over the years, at Cleveland Stadium from 1946-95 and at Browns Stadium from 1999 until the present.
Playing with protection from the weather, playing indoors football, has not been a Browns or Cleveland kind of thing. For years, though, there have been some NFL teams play their home games under the cover of domes, whether they be permanent or retractable.
Harlan Spector of The Plain Dealer reports on the possibility that someday, Browns Stadium might have a different look:
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, when asked about constructing a retractable dome on Browns Stadium during a meet-and-greet session with Cleveland City Council this morning, said he will be bringing in architects for ideas on enhancements at the city-owned stadium.
Haslam said he wants the city to get more use out of the facility.
"Anything that helps us do that. . . we're certainly going to take a look at it," he said.
Haslam's response today mirrored what he told The Plain Dealer in an exclusive interview in August. He said then, "We have spent some time at the stadium. We'll have three really well-known stadium architects walk through. I do think there's some enhancements for the fans that need to be done. What, I don't know."
Haslam's answer today did not prevent fans on Twitter and other social media from speculating on whether the Browns stadium would soon have a retractable roof or dome.

Hilton Honors: Stil missing in action!
I travel quite a bit for business, and I base my stays more on maintaining elite status rather than maximizing bonuses. Earlier this year, I hit Starwood Platinum, and since then, I've been staying at Marriotts. I've found that with rollover nights and the Chase Premier Card, it can be pretty easy to requalify for Marriott Platinum. I'll be in Europe next week, and I'll hit 75 nights with Marriott, putting me over the top for Platinum status. However, now that Marriott has rollover nights, I'd really like to get my nights count closer to 100, to make it easy again to requalify next year.
So for me, it looks like I'll be going with Marriott's Megabonus. I suppose it will get interesting for me as I get closer to that 100 night point with Marriott. If I get there and realize that I'm pretty close to hitting one of the big point megabonuses, I'll probably continue to stay at Marriotts until I hit the bonus, and then IF I have any nights left, I'll go to Starwood to continue my points accumulation there. Of course, I don't know if I'll even get to 100 nights this year. And if I do get to that point, I'm not sure how many more stays I'll have left in 2011.
Now if I didn't care about elite status, I think the two most interesting are probably the Starwood and Hyatt promotion. I especially like Starwood's.
Have these promotions changed your travel patterns?
While these are all certainly lucrative in their own ways, there aren't any truly unique promotions like Starwood's previous promotion that gave away a free resort night for ever three SPG stays. Thanks to that promotion, I'll be staying at the St. Regis Punta Mita for three nights in December.
In any case, these are some good promotions, but none of them is interesting enough to actually have me change my travel patterns.

Baba Ghanoush Recipe by CHEF JEAN DOHERTY
Eggplant's lovely purple skin adds a colorful punch to many healthy recipes, and it's great texture is sturdy enough to stand up to the fire of a grill! You're most familiar with it here in the States served up breaded and fried, and covered in melted cheese—NOT healthful fare! Chunks of eggplant can be roasted and pureed into a silky, smooth dip known in the Middle East and elsewhere as Baba Ganoush, which in Arabic means "father of coquetry," or flirting—which has been interpreted that it was invented by a member of a harem, although "ghanoush" may have come from a personal name, too.
|Ingredients:2 medium eggplants
4 cloves of garlic
¼ cup of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
2 tablespoons of tahini
1-and ¼ teaspoons of salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and lightly grease a baking sheet. Place eggplant on baking sheet, and make holes in the skin with a fork. Roast them for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, or until soft. Remove from oven, and place into a large bowl of cold water. Remove from water, and peel the skin off.
Place the eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in an electric blender, and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, and slowly mix in olive oil. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
Enjoy with pita bread, chips, raw veggies, or whatever tickles your fancy, after all—you are the chef!

Assisted Bareboat Sailing
What is Assisted Sailing?
Assisted Sailing gives you the freedom to charter your own yacht, still bareboat, but with the added bonus of having on hand support. This is a great option if you know how to sail but need a little refresher and some added advice to brush away the cobwebs. At least one member of the crew must have their ICC or Day Skipper to charter a yacht bareboat, due to Greek law.
What are the Benefits of Assisted Sailing?
Assisted sailing allows anyone who is nervous about sailing bareboat or just a bit rusty, to practice their skills with a professional skipper offering one on one personalised instruction. Whether you have a skipper on board, or choose to sail yourselves, it allows you to have the support you need without having to do a flotilla.
If you dont have the skipper on board, we will meet you in the evening for the first few days and teach you stern too/long lining or whatever you would like to learn on the sunday afternoon and monday morning.
If you have a skipper on board, this is a great way of allowing those who have never sailed before to get to a level where they can be assisting their skipper in sailing and mooring the boat in a safe and confident manner. We can take the skipper off the boat in the evenings wherever possible.
We highly recommend having an assisting skipper for one day if you have younger children.We can show the family whats safe, whats not, ensure everyone knows their jobs in different situations and help ensure a stress free sailing holiday!
For anyone looking for some additional coaching, whether it be to practice Mediterranean stern-to mooring, long lining or simply refresh the crew on MOB techniques or to practice sailing in stronger winds with the family.
This is a great way to build confidence without having to do a formal training course. Whatever you want to learn in Greece we are more than happy to show you.
Included in every bareboat holiday if required: FOC stern too mooring, skipper on the sunday afternoon, weather information sent daily, free helping hand with mooring for the first few evenings.
What is Included?
As well as all of the above we offer a free Weather SMS everyday, free Stern-to mooring training, free food and drink welcome pack, outboard and spare fuel on all Bavaria Yachts, towels, tea-towels and bed linen. The yacht is spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything from spare batteries, pegs, bin bags etc to all navigation gear to masks and snorkels. We also do a last night Pimms Party so you can talk over your week and undiwnd, sharing your experiences with the other guests. You can sail on the Sunday of arrival. You even get a skipper for your first day, absolotely free of charge. We are on hand 24 hours a day in the unlikely event that you should have any major issues we have the fastest 10 metre RIB in the area, Rodney.
How it Works
|Day 1: Arrive at our base on Sunday afternoon and have a handover of your yacht. See us in the cafe to discuss your plan for the week and get one to one recommendations for the best places to snorkel, relax, party, fine dine..whatever you would like to do! We will circle our favourite places on your chart and give you advise on our favourite restaurants. Do some basic provisioning if needed before setting sail on the sunday (you have beers, wine, bread, fruit, tatsiki and so much more on board already in our welcome pack!). Have a skipper on board if you want to FOC on the first afternoon to refresh everything and show you the ropes! Stop for a swim on route on Scorpios. Moor up in Meganissi for the evening for dinner and drinks on the beach. Relax on your first night on holiday!
Day 2: Meet us in the morning (whatever time you wake up as we have coffee until you are ready!) - there is no group briefing, we chat to you individually. Maybe walk to the local village for fantastic views of the harbour and islands before a short trip to a nearby harbour. Have one of our instructors join your yacht for a few hours (if requested) to practice stern too mooring and long lining so that you have the confidence to moor up in the evenings and learn some tricks of the trade from the experts. A great way to get everyone working together and understanding roles. Also great to practice long lining so you can sail later in the afternoons and stay overnight in bays if you want to. Sail for lunch in a bay for swimming, visit the caves and snorkel. Sail to Sivota Harbour for the evening and meet us anytime between 4 and 7pm for help with mooring, drinks and advice for dinner.
Day 3: Enjoy breakfast and exploring Sivota. Talk to us about what you want to do for the next few days and choose whether to continue to follow one of our skippers all week, or join us for one more night or to sail yourselves.......or maybe you have made friends with other boats and are going to sail in compnay, whatever you decide we offer the full support you need. We send a weather text daily, organise one of our skippers to help with mooring if required and we are on call 24 hours.

Kiss My Asterisk! (And Other Stories Of The Day)November 7, 2007 – 8:30 pm by Hickey
As everyone knows by now, former Dolphins coach Don Shula is up in arms over the possibility of the Patriots matching his '72 team's accomplishment of finishing the season undefeated. After all, they were caught cheating in the first half of the first game of the season, therefore nullifying everything they've done since then. Right?
Not so much. There are a couple of things Don needs to remember before getting his knickers in a knot.
1. The Patriots actually have to finish the season unbeaten before this discussion is even relevant. And your Dolphins still get to play them again. Where's the faith, Don? Come on, you know Cam Cam and Cleo Lemon have something special up their sleeves for that one.
2. Shouldn't the asterisk be placed next to the '72 Dolphins? Let's not forget that they only had to play 14 regular season games instead of 16. With two extra games, there's a chance Miami would have had to play someone good. Not saying they would have lost… but, let's face it, it's a lot harder to pull the feat off these days.
3. While I'm at it, am I the only one who is annoyed by the fact that every single NFL season someone starts off say 6-0 everyone starts wondering if they can match the '72 Dolphins? This year I see as an exception because the Patriots actually are that good. But I think in the future, these discussions shouldn't start happening until a team is 10-0.
The Bell Biv Devoe moment of the week comes from the sordid world of tennis. The International Tennis Federation is investigating claims that German Tommy Haas was poisoned prior to a Davis Cup semifinal match in Russia by a tainted latte macchiato. Seriously?
First off, I was unaware that anyone was that passionate about tennis — particularly the Davis Cup. Who won the last Davis Cup? And why does it seem like the Davis Cup is awarded three times a year? Also, if someone poisoned Roger Federer, would he be stopped? I kind of doubt it. (And it still wouldn't be good enough for Sports Illustrated to decide that he's Sportsman of the Year material.)
But in the world of tennis, I guess nothing should come as a surprise. We've got guys throwing matches. Former Wimbledon champs doing blow. The first dog fight can't be too far behind.
It appears that the annual Roger Clemens whoring himself out to the highest bidder derby has come to a close. As reported by the Houston Chronicle, Clemens will now work for the Astros as a consultant, which he agreed to do once his career came to a close.
I would imagine it's probably hard consulting and playing at the same time, so this is probably it for an ageless wonder. But then again, if the price is right, would Roger Clemen$ ever say no? I'll believe it when I don't see him trotting back onto the mound at $45 million per start.

On-board Memory Store your favorite macros in the 16K memory, and play on any other computers instantly. No driver is needed.
Features & Specifications:
System Requirements:
Package Contents:
The packaging is pretty good for a 20$ mouse plus shipping as it does not look cheap. I got this mouse at Directron.com and over there it said XL-750F in the title, but also that they would ship the latest version XL-750BK.
The Macro Manager is the stuff dreams are made of. As you can see here you can do anything with any button. The mouse has 16-bit of memory so that these options are stored in the mouse and you can take it to another computer and it works just the same. It's not my triple click button anymore, I'm working on a few other ideas for BFBC2. You can even change the color of the lights and make custom DPi speeds.
Final Thoughts:
The performance of this mouse is really good. However using Mouse Rate Checker it revealed that the max is really running at 500 Hz and not the 1000 Hz. I don't see any settings to change the pulling speed as listed on the webpage. That issue might be fixed with some sort of mouse speed hacking program. If you have the answer to this let me know!
To describe how a mouse at 500 Hz feels over that of your typical 125 Hz mouse. Well, it feels very smooth, precise and much more focused. This high pulling rate helps land those impossible reflex hits in first person shooter games. A gaming mouse alone could give you the edge and raise your KD Ratio over that of a slower mouse. It's okay with me that it runs at 500 Hz because at 1000 hz it will demand a lot more of the processor. For the mouse to report its position every 2 ms at a 500 Hz rate vs that of 1ms at 1000 Hz, it's not going to save you much in speed. 1000 Hz will also tax the CPU at almost twice the same load and it isn't constant, it bounces a lot. So IMHO 1000 Hz is really not worth it for most people and it could have a negative effect of reducing frame rates on some systems.
The design may not be to everyones taste, but I like it. Overall this mouse is kickass for the price.
1000Hz is possible!! Install the software provided on the CD. Right click the Oscar editor and select "report rate setting." A black windowed application will popup that says "Mouse Report Rate (MRR)" and gives the selection for 1000Hz.

How to Increase USB Sample Rate in Windows Vista/7
mouserate.exe http://www.ngohq.com/attachments/news/1485d1228214980-how-to-increase-usb-sample-rate-in-windows-vista-7-mouserate.exe
dimr.exe http://www.ngohq.com/attachments/news/1487d1228215007-how-to-increase-usb-sample-rate-in-windows-vista-7-dimr.exe
hidusbf.zip http://www.ngohq.com/attachments/news/1954d1243462515-how-to-increase-usb-sample-rate-in-windows-vista-7-hidusbf.zip
The default 125Hz USB sample rate in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is not enough for today's gamers and end-users. There are many USB sample rate patches out there, but none of them support Windows Vista and Windows 7, due to a new restricted driver signature enforcement feature. Now it is possible to use these patches - thanks to the latest version of our own Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (DSEO) and SweetLow. These patches and our tool have been well tested, but I am not taking responsibility for any damages! Use it at your own risk.
The author of HIDUSBF (SweetLow) has released a new beta build of HIDUSBF's 64-bit adding support for Windows 7 64-bit RC build. Therefore, I've updated the HIDUSBF package in this page and included the beta file. If you are using Windows 7 64-bit, make sure to download the updated version of HIDUSBF from the link below, the MD5 is: 403e0a3d0df0bee053fd197f503ada04.
1. Download Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider from this link.
2. Download HIDUSBF (attached below as hidusbf.zip).
3. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose Enable Test Mode.
4. Extract HIDUSBF to some folder, right click on HIDUSBF.inf and choose Install.
5. Run Setup.exe from HIDUSBF's folder, check the Filter on Device box and select your desired sample rate.
6. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider again, choose Sign a System file and insert full path to the installed HIDUSBF.sys file (For example: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\HIDUSBF.sys).
7. Restart your computer and enjoy.
8. Verify by using Mouse Rate or DirectInput Mouse Rate (attached below as mouserate.exe and dimr.exe)
9. If you would like to remove the test mode watermark, run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose Watermark removal.
That should do the trick. Remember! Use it at your own risk! Don't blame me if your motherboard explodes. But... I already tested it myself - with a lot of success, so you don't have any reason to worry about . If you would like to uninstall it, just right click on HIDUSBFU.inf, choose Install and disable test mode from Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider.
Okay. After researching and trying this for 3 days and ~12 hours, I've learned it only works for me if I don't use SetPoint drivers. I have only tested the latest 6.0 drivers but now that I have it working, I don't really want to find out if it works with others.
My system: Win7 Pro 64 bit, MX518 (SetPoint uninstalled)
My steps:
1) Reverse any steps you have taken from above if necessary to get your mouse and USB ports working again.
2) Uninstall Logitech SetPoint software
3) Go into Device Manager and for each HID-Compliant Mouse, go to driver tab, and uninstall driver
4) Your mouse will stop working
5) Unplug USB mouse, wait a couple of seconds, plug it back in
6) Check to make sure that HID-Compliant mouse is now installed again in device manager
7) Run DSEO, Enable Test Mode, exit DSEO, reboot
8) Run DSEO, Sign Driver (hidusbf.inf, ALL hidusbf.sys files in the hidusbf folders), exit DSEO, reboot
9) Rightclick hidusbf.inf, Install
10) Go to windows\system32\drivers and copy hidusbf.sys to windows\SysWOW64\drivers
11) Run DSEO, Sign Driver (hidusbf.sys from BOTH folders in step 10), exit DSEO, reboot
12) Run Setup from hidusbf
13) highlight mouse (hid-compliant), check filter box, set polling rate, EXIT PROGRAM (no need to install services, click on restart, etc)
14) Reboot
15) Run dimr or mouserate checker to ensure polling rate works
I'm confident you can get this to work without rebooting as often or having to sign every hidusbf.sys file in the hidusbf unzipped folder, but it the steps above worked for me so I just wanted to list the way I did it personally.
For the MX518, the 2 buttons for DPI changing still work (at least for me) in Windows 7. Make sure you push the top 1 a couple of times to get it to 1800 DPI.
If you want to remap the 2 thumb buttons, you can use X-Mouse:
I haven't tried installing SetPoint 6.0 AFTER getting hidusbf to work but I'm pretty sure it will cause the filter to stop working and revert it back to 125Hz. I rummaged through the xml files in SetPoint and found out that Logitech has disabled the Report Rate on the MX518 and if you re-enable it and then try to raise it from 125Hz, they have hardcoded SetPoint to throw an error so it looks like they have specifically blocked overclocking the mouse report rate. I posted on their forums asking why they have done this.
I got SetPoint 4.8 to work by adding the following steps:
1) Install SetPoint 4.8 64bit
2) Run hidusbf setup. Select G3/MX518 mouse. Enable filter, set polling rate. I clicked on Restart but I don't think it matters. Exit hidusbf.
3) I checked mouse rate and it was 125Hz.
4) Rebooted my PC and it was now 500Hz with SetPoint 4.8 installed and working.
Everything works with Windows 7 x64 latest build. Here is inctruction with my comments
1. Download Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (attached below as dseo13b.exe).
2. Download HIDUSBF (attached below as hidusbf.zip).
3. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose Enable Test Mode.
4. Extract HIDUSBF to some folder, right click on HIDUSBF.inf and choose Install.
5. Run Setup.exe from HIDUSBF's folder, check the Filter on Device box and select your desired sample rate.
6. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider again, choose Sign a System file and insert full path to the installed HIDUSBF.sys file
do it again with
7. Restart your computer and enjoy.
Mouse doesnt stop working .
If it helps please post comments in guestbook
Guys finally got it to work on Windows 7 64 bit after about 3 hrs.
So you follow most of allen's steps and then after u finish step 7 you need to go to C:Windows\System32\drivers\hidusbf.sys and paste it in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers
THEN you run dseo and sign a system file, first you do C:Windows\System32\drivers\hidusbf.sys and then do C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers\hidusbf.sys
Then reboot and it should all be good
Then follow the steps
Posted by Allen on October 3rd, 2009, 01:11 PM
Updated version of install due MS updates and file extension problem.
01. Download Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider
02. Download hidusbf.zip and Extract HIDUSBF to that folder.
03. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider(DSEO) and choose Enable Test
04. Reboot
05. Run DSEO Sign the Hidusbf.INF before you install it. Maybe necessary to do
this with all versions of the Hidusb.sys in the patch.
06. Right click on HIDUSBF.inf and choose Install.(INF file extension must be
windows default. This is a common problem easy fix with reg file.)
07. Run Setup.exe from HIDUSBF's folder, check the Filter on Device box and
select your desired sample rate click install service wait then click
08. Run mouserater and check polling rate.
09. Run DSEO, choose Sign a System file and insert full path to the installed
HIDUSBF.sys file (For example: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\HIDUSBF.sys).
10. Restart your computer and enjoy.
11. If you would like to remove the test mode watermark, run Driver Signature
Just thought I'd share this information for those that want the full speed on their mouse in windows 7. I've got this to work on a MX510 at 500hz, but it didn't work on my XGBox Lazer mouse. If the mouse does not work it can be a pain to navigate windows and uninstall and reinstall the mouse in device manager.
God forbid you have to do any of these tweaks to get your old mouse to run at a faster speed. After playing at 1000Hz for a while I've decided to lower it back down to 500Hz. It just seems more dialed in at 500Hz.
how can i set a button to 180 degrades turn plss contact me on skype and tell me

Here is a users guide.. Read the bottom part of page 19.
Example 3: In the "First Person Shooter" game, 1 click to turn around 180 degrees
Step 1: From the "Oscar Main Menu", select "Macro Manager" from the "Task Pull-down Menu" of designated
mouse button, then you'll see "Macro Manager Menu" pop up.
Oscar Main Menu, Macro Manager
Step 2: Input "799" of coordinate value in "Mouse Relative Coordinate X Axis Box".
>>Click "Plug In".
Step 3: Select "mSec" of time unit in the "Time unit" >> Input"23" of time value in
"Time" box.
Step 4: Repeating three times from step 2 to step 3.
Step 5:Input "500" of coordinate value in "Mouse Relative Coordinate X Axis Box".
>>Click "Plug In".
Step 6:Click "Plug in" in "Time Control Area" of "Macro Manager Menu"
Step 7:Input "50" of coordinate value in "Mouse Relative Coordinate X Axis Box".
>>Click "Plug In"
Step 8:Click "Plug in" in "Time Control Area" of "Macro Manager Menu"
Step 9: Now your editing area will look like this as figure 3 shows.
Step 10: Click the
Let's check it in "First Person Shooter" game practically:
In the real FPS shooting games, in the circumstances that your opponents unexpected turn to, or show up on your
back, it will be almost impossible to instantly turn around and give them a shot. Or it requires a very high
performance mouse to perform "turn around" actions, but usually it is not fast enough to accomplish the "turn
around" action before your opponent starts to fire. This example demonstrates how powerful it is that it performs
automatically the continuous "turn around" actions in the sudden, while your opponents are not ready to give
you the fatal hits!
Benefits: This example shows how to perform the "turn around" action by just one click to the designated button,
and sustain your aiming point at the same level. The given "799" relative displacement value is due to, after in
practical testing, the games only response to the value less than the maximum horizontal display resolution. For
instance, this example is only applicable to the display resolution of 800x600 mode of your LCD display or
monitor, "Overflow" error may occur in case the value is out of your display boundary. Meanwhile, the time
interval is inserted between each action and the same action is repeated by 6 times, this is due to after practical
testing, we found the FPS games will not properly response for the time interval shorter than 20 ms.
>>Click "Plug In". icon to save the setting.
X7 is indeed a very good gaming mouse, i tried this for Counter Strike before,i works like a charm.
It's a good mouse for Counter Strike. Wow, just noticed "2667 reads" :)

This reverse Robin Hood syndrome that Republicans are implementing upon us is nothing new in terms of their agenda, but I've never seen the full throttle, hell-bent way they are going about it.
There is no doubt they have declared war against wage earners, the poor, seniors and the disabled. They clearly have shown they will not stop until the middle class in this country is completely muted.
They speak of shared sacrifice, but under no circumstances will they raise taxes on the richest and the most fortunate among us. In fact, they want taxes reduced on the rich, and the greedy corrupt big corporations they sponsor.
Yet they want to end Medicare and make future seniors, the poor and disabled pay for these tax cuts for the rich. Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey just got public workers to pay more into their health care and pensions, and at the same time, said he would veto any legislation that brings forth a millionaires tax. Shared sacrifice?
Republicans will argue that decreasing taxes on the rich and big corporations will drive the economy and create jobs. Really? How did those tax cuts for the rich work under the Bush administration? And lets, for example, take a company like Exxon Mobile. Since 2005, they have turned 3, 4, 5 billion dollar profits per quarter, yet they have shed thousands of American jobs and sent them overseas.
Bottom line: Rich people invest in themselves, and greedy corporations are all about profit. It's a strong middle class that drives the economy.

Groundbreaking comedian Joan Rivers, who was rushed to the hospital last week after undergoing a procedure on her vocal cords, remains on life support after doctors took her out of a medically-induced coma, her daughter and frequent co-star Melissa Rivers says in a statement.
"On behalf of my mother and our family, we are extremely grateful for all the love and support we've received," Melissa Rivers says in a statement. "At this time she does remain on life support. I know my mother would be overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of kindness and I want to thank everyone for keeping us in their prayers."
UPDATE: Rivers has been moved out intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable, her daughter says in her latest statement.
Rivers, 81, had performed her stand-up the night before the procedure, and was booked to perform at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank on Friday. Her tapings of "Fashion Police" on E! have been canceled, the network says.
