IN THE MIDDLE OF LUNCH over sushi near his West Los Angeles office, Stephen Stokols' phone buzzes with another e-mail, bringing a smile to his face. The founder and CEO of FreedomPop has just received another batch of smartphones, used ones, to arm his company in its wild plan to upend the mobile industry. "It's like American Gangster," he jokes. "We're sucking up all the inventory."
In his rapid-fire delivery Stokols sketches out his plan to take on the big telecom carriers by offering no-contract phones with a generous tier of service at no charge. It's the opposite of the telecom industry, which spends big marketing dollars and hefty phone subsidies to lock people into expensive multi-year contracts. Stokols knows the business well; he used to be a senior executive at British Telecom.
Within the next few months FreedomPop will begin selling refurbished HTC HTC EVO 4G Android phones–and potentially Samsung and LG handsets–for $99 to $199, with no contract, and give away 500 megabytes of 4G data per month, plus unlimited texting and 200 anytime call minutes, as well as unlimited calls to other FreedomPop phones. FreedomPop plans to sell 2 or more gigabytes of data starting at $18 a month and an upgrade to unlimited calling for $10 a month. Compare that with a "Share Everything" Verizon iPhone plan that nicks you for $40 a month for unlimited voice and text plus $60 for 2 gigabytes of data. Thus, FreedomPop will charge $28 for what Verizon offers for $100. But the average American consumer uses about 200 minutes of voice and 500 megabytes of data per month, so the lower 50% of FreedomPop's customers won't be paying a dime. FreedomPop will also allow anyone with an existing Sprint Android phone that's not in contract to sign up on its network at no cost.
So how can Stokols afford to give away wireless service? Thank the wonders of technology. FreedomPop converts all voice calls into data packets (much the way Skype does on PCs) and runs them over bandwidth purchased wholesale from Sprint's network. The cost of wholesale data is one-fourth to one-fifth the price of renting voice minutes, and calls use a relatively small amount of data (a three-minute call requires only about 500 kilobytes). The voice quality of FreedomPop's calling app is often superior to regular cellular service. I tried it and was impressed. In the future, says Stokols, all the big carriers are going to move their voice calls over to data networks.
Stokols began validating his freemium model eight months ago when FreedomPop rolled out its first devices, such as a 4G USB stick, a MiFi-style personal hot spot, home broadband and a sleeve attachment that turns an iPod Touch into an Internet phone. FreedomPop has hundreds of thousands of accounts, and Stokols expects to sell millions of units by the end of next year.
FreedomPop entices new customers with the free plan but then plies them with a host of $3.99-a-month service offerings such as faster download speeds, monthly rollover of unused data and device insurance. More than 45% of its customers now pay something, either via monthly plans (25% of customers) or added features (28%). These add-on services have 90% gross margins.
FreedomPop's closest competitor is Republic Wireless, which has $19-per-month service but uses a proprietary Motorola handset, not popular Android models, and runs only on 3G. Republic's unlimited plan is $29.99 versus FreedomPop's $11.99 unlimited plan.
Sprint isn't worried about FreedomPop competing with its retail business, says Matt Carter, president of Sprint's wholesale business. "FreedomPop provides another flavor out there in the marketplace."
But other carriers are not as chuffed. Stokols says that at the CTIA trade show last year he got yelled at by a T-Mobile executive, who accused him of undercutting the industry. "There's a duopoly at the top of the industry," says Pete Moran, general partner at FreedomPop investor DCM. "They're able to maintain extremely high prices and frankly haven't been bringing interesting new concepts and change to the industry."
Mark Tluszcz, cofounder of venture firm Mangrove Capital Partners and an early investor in both Skype and FreedomPop, sees clear parallels between the firms. "When I invested in Skype, that was all about making phone calls cheap. People were tired of being ripped off by telcos. Now voice has become a commodity. What's not is data. That's where telcos are greasing themselves."
Stokols and cofounder Steven Sesar are drawing on proven social marketing tactics and ideas from their last startup, dating site WooMe, to build a business on the cheap. Anyone with a FreedomPop device can share minutes with another user, which cements loyalty and boosts usage. People also get free data rewards when they sign up friends to FreedomPop. The company generates 17 invites on its site from each subscriber–a powerful viral pull. Stokols says 98.5% of all new accounts have signed up by word of mouth. He keeps his equipment costs low by scooping up a trove of "like new" models from recycling sites such as Glyde and Gazelle. AT&T AT&T and Verizon, in contrast, spend upwards of $500 for new data customers once you include equipment subsidies and marketing costs, says Jonathan Chaplin of New Street Research.
When Stokols and Sesar first pitched the idea, investors were skeptical. They were worried that consumers would bleed the company dry by staying only within the free plan and were aware of the hundreds of millions flushed away on defunct wireless-service resellers such as Amp'd, Helio and Zapp. It was a "sh–load of risk," Stokols says, even though FreedomPop got 25,000 e-mails from interested customers after its first press mention in December 2011.
To mitigate its investors' risk, FreedomPop split its initial equity round into two tranches, one before and one after the company released its first devices in October. In its first month FreedomPop converted 5% of customers from free to paid. In month two the number rose to 10% and hit 20% by month three, well ahead of projections, with new sign-ups accelerating along the way. The investors were confident enough to complete the full $8.8 million round. It has raised more than $11 million in total.
There have been stumbles. FreedomPop's iPhone case, which allows people to switch their data or voice from their carrier to FreedomPop, has been stuck in port due to an FCC FCC approval delay. But Stokols says the company has learned from that and is now working with Sprint on a new approach to data devices. "We're using innovative technology and a new model to change the market dynamics," says Stokols. "That puts more money in consumers' pockets and less in the Verizons of the world."
The ability to disrupt in the 21st Century is accomplished with finely crafted strategy that for the most part relies on the existence of the Internet….denizens of The8th Continent are using ancient concepts such as "Occam's razor" to validate 21st century thinking and the business plans that may create the elusive blue ocean effect.
I, after 20 + years online, have seen the rise and fall of such ideation -WebVan immediately springs to mind, but so does the iPod &iTunes. Albeit early days, Stephen Stokol and FreedomPop certainly is not delivering groceries, but a different type of sustenance for the masses.
I've made $74k so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I'm using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. Earning potential with this is unlimited. Heres what I do Going1.Cℴℳ
I wonder if FreedomPop is only available for CDMA networks, as the article mentioned Verizon and the service runs on rented Sprint data network. For my business purposes, I would need a GSM-phone, such as those by T-Mobile and AT&T, in order to work both within and outside the United States.
One of the Republic Wireless features is that it will work for calls and texts wherever there is WIFI, anywhere in the world, unlimited, no roaming and free. Many users have already commented on using this successfully.
Again, interesting use of English. Stateside, Republic Wireless uses the Sprint and Sprint Roaming Partners. Coupled with the wifi Option, I find the package and price unbeatable.
The author here is trying very hard to downplay Republic Wireless. That alone tells you the story is biased. I just use Republic Wireless, but I recommend it. I, and Forbes, should wonder why he does not?
Actually Sprint and its roaming partners provide full coverage outside home or office. And the rate stays $19 a month. Language is interesting isn't it?
That was a terrible reply. I am a happy Republic Wireless customer since 2012. When I'm "outside my home" and lose wifi, it picks up a Sprint signal or roams on Verizon (free). I've never yet had a problem with calling "outside my home" and I live in the NY Adirondack State Forest Preserve area.
Nice puff piece. Republic Wireless actually charges just $19 a month if you buy their phone. Unlimited usage, no contract and works extremely well. As good as Verizon did in any case, but it saved me $1,000 a year. That is not mentioned in this article. Why not?
You cite Republic Wireless "Unlimited" plan as being $29. But there is only one plan, and it always includes unlimited usage, for $19. The alternate $29 price is only for those who want a subsidized phone at a reduced price. The plan itself is always fully unlimited either way.
He meant the "it saved me $1,000 a year" part.
You work for Republic, you must? I never use my Republic phone, and no one I know does. Reason, it's 3G only lame device that forces you onto Wi-fi. Not even in the same ball park as this FreedomPop offer, if I can get a Galaxy or port my current one over it's game over. This is game changing, Republic is an afterthought to a mass market that is device centric.
@Tomio, good article, just saw it referenced on local station here in Denver so checking out from that. Re this comment, realize all companies, even Republic have trolls that surf through media. 99% sure that comment left by Republic employee, can tell by the "party line" when says "saved me $1000 per year."
Sorry to disappoint. I'm just an RW customer. And I did pay verizon well over $1,250 last year. This year my bill is under $240, with no surprises in the billing, no tiers, and no tears. Padding the bill is a cell company's favorite practice.
Sorry again. The RW phone does everything I ask it to do. And no one is "forced" to use wifi under that plan. In fact you can turn wifi off and just use cell if you want to. You're as uninformed and misleading as the author of this piece. Why is that?
@jaguar6cy, you're full of BS. And next time you're posting for a company, don't be so obvious. republic has gotten tons of press, why you so bitter about FreedomPop coming out with a 10x more mass appeal offer?
Don't take my work, that look like traction to you??? http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/republicwireless.com#
better find a new employer
I think @jaguar6cy's point was that you state:
> Republic's unlimited plan is $29.99 versus FreedomPop's $11.99 unlimited plan.
I don't believe you had malicious intent, but this is poorly stated (also ignoring the fact that you meant $29/mo not $29.99).
All of Republic Wireless' plans are unlimited; the only difference between their two plans is the $29/mo plan subsidizes the upfront cost of the phone by a $150, while the $19/mo plan requires the consumer to purchase the handset at full price ($249).
I'm a current RW customer, so I'm glad to see more competition in this space.
Wrong on a couple counts. The first being, that Verizon's 2GB data plan is $30 a month, not $60. I don't know where you came up with that figure, but it's also $50 for 5GB of data. Which is a LOT better than you claim.
Also, 500MB is NOT what the "average consumer" uses, because the "average consumer" was forced to upgrade to a Smartphone a long time ago, and there's no way to only use 500MB of data every month unless you never use your phone. Data is always running, whether you physically use the internet or an app or not.
And that is $60 a month IN ADDITION to the monthly plan cost of $80. I know because I had verizon. Never again. Republic Wireless is the best, most transparent, legitimate and cheapest way to get truly unlimited service on a cell phone for a flat $19 a month. All others treat customers like fools, and a fool and his money, etc.
Freedom Pop is a ripoff – advertising free internet like the Nazis offered free showers. They suck people in with the promise of free or very inexpensive web service, only to charge exorbitant amounts whenever they overuse the minuscule data plan provided. The companies' business model is part of the problem, not the solution, preying mostly on lower income individuals that are not tech-savvy and are simply attempting to find inexpensive unlimited data plans.
They sold me a device that never got a signal from day 1. After multiple attempts to reach them they finally got back to me only to tell me tough luck- I was beyond my 30 day window.
They sell devices that never work and then hid behind their 30 day policy.
They are slow to respond. They don't help. After they get past 30 days suddenly they can respond only to tell you thanks for they money sucker.
I do not recommend this company, their devices, or their service.
30 day return window pretty standard across the industry. At the beginning of the order process, you have to enter an address that is covered before being allowed to proceed. I would imagine that if you received the device and it didn't work, there wouldn't be an issue with getting instructions on sending the device back within a month of purchase.
This is not "standard" return policy. This is actually from the FreedomPop site. It's surprising they don't also ask you for an original birth certificate:
"If you are eligible to return Equipment, please submit an Equipment return request using our online Support feature, specify the reason for the return, and include the model and MAC number and we will issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number to accompany your authorized return, which will also tell you where to ship the Equipment. We cannot accept any return, without a RMA number. Please pack the Equipment in its original packaging with the original carton contents that we provided to you; and include a copy or your FreedomPop purchase receipt or other proof of purchase. All Equipment must be in like-new condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and include all accessories included in original Equipment package. Refunds, deposit returns and exchanges will only be issued to the purchaser whose name appears on the purchase receipt. Please retain a copy of your purchase receipt for your records. Equipment subjected to neglect, misuse, liquid damage or non-standard wear and tear, is not eligible for our return or exchange programs. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable. Restocking fees may apply. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for paying all shipping, insurance and any other costs in connection with your return of Equipment for any reason. FreedomPop reserves the right to refuse delivery of any Equipment if you have not paid such costs FreedomPop may accept delivery and bill you for such costs."

Allegations that Fox's shelved game show "Our Little Genius" might have been rigged has prompted an inquiry by the Federal Communications Commission into possible violations of federal rules that govern quiz shows.
Revelations of the FCC probe follows the News Corp.-owned network's decision last month to yank the highly promoted program from its schedule only a week before it was supposed to premiere. Fox took the unusual step after reality-show titan Mark Burnett, who was producing the program, informed the network that there was a problem with how the young contestants had been coached for the competition.

RealClearPolitics, the website that collects polls, has moved North Carolina from the lean Romney column back into the tossup category. The polls have been all over the map. But the RealClearPolitics polling average still has Mitt Romney at 50.3 percent and President Barack Obama at 46.5 percent.
Two new Republican-leaning polls show the former Massachusetts governor maintaining a more substantial lead.
The Rasmussen Reports poll shows Romney up in North Carolina at 52 percent to 46 percent. That survey was conducted Oct. 25 among 500 likely voters and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. Gravis Marketing, which has given Romney far larger leads than any other poll, shows Romney up 53 percent to 45 percent. That survey conducted Oct. 24 surveyed 1,723 likely voters and had a margin of sampling error of 2.4 percentage points.
Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm, found the race tied at 48 percent, in a survey of 880 voters it conducted Oct. 23-25. It has a margin of sampling error of 3.3 percentage points.
Grove Insight, which has Democratic ties, showed Obama up in the state at 47 percent to 43 percent. The survey of 500 voters was conducted Oct. 23-24 and had a margin of sampling error of 4.5 percentage points.
The Civitas Poll, which has conservative ties, found Romney at 48 percent and Obama at 47 percent when it polled 600 people Oct. 20-21. Its poll had a 4 percentage point margin of sampling error.

Transition plan under way
Gov. Bev Perdue isnt wasting time preparing for her exit. Her office sent a memo to her two potential successors Democratic Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton and Republican Pat McCrory last week saying she is beginning to prepare for the transition of power.
The governor directed her Cabinet agencies to prepare a memo that outlines the agency structure, staff, budgets, programs and related boards and commissions. The deadline: Nov. 7 the day after the election.
My goal is to assist the governor-elect in a smooth and orderly transition to better serve the people of North Carolina, she wrote.

If youre running for state superintendent of public instruction, its probably a good idea to double-check the spelling in your news releases. John Tedesco, the Republican challenger, sent out a release Saturday referring to Dan Forests hottly contested campaign. Americans for Prosperity is spending $130,000 to send a half-million mailers touting McCrory just days before the election. The two fliers hit two issues that arent being discussed much on the campaign trail: medical malpractice and public financing of campaigns.

Mary Etta (Rogers) Orr passed away on Friday (Aug. 16, 2013) at home.
She was born on June 28, 1925, the youngest child of the late Alden Clinton and Laura Lodge Rogers.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Howard L. Orr; three brothers, Raymond Rogers of Pruntytown, Alden Clifford Rogers and Morgan Ross (Todge) Rogers, both of Bridgeport; a sister, Jessie (Post) Carder of Clarksburg; and an infant grandson, Michael Allen Faris of Nashville.
She is survived by four daughters, Etta Zasloff from Hope Valley, R.I., Anna Bronsak and husband Mark, with whom she resided, Edith (Edie) Amerando and husband Leonard from Clemmons, N.C., and Robin Faris of Flemington; seven grandchildren, Julie Zasloff Lindstrom (Casey) and Zachary Zasloff (Lori) of Boston, Megan Enke Copley (Bart) of Barboursville, Melissa Enke Perkins (Matt) of Quiet Dell, Chelsea Amerando Newman (Dustin) of Clemmons, N.C., Scott Faris of Denver, and Tyler Faris of Pensacola. Mary was blessed with eight great-grandchildren, Evan James Lindstrom, Emily Louise Lindstrom, Ethan Howard Copley, Abigail McKenzie Zasloff, Izzy Marie Newman, Ella Grace Copley, William Jennings Perkins and Maxwell Frank Zasloff.
Her family was her pride and joy. She loved spending time with them, cooking large meals, camping, special trips with her daughters and teaching the grandchildren how to play dominos and cards.
Mary had wonderful friends in all aspects of her life and made an effort to keep up with all of them: neighbors, friends from her work life as secretary of Bridgeport High School and ones she graduated with from BHS in 1943, Holiday Rambler friends and Simpson Creek Baptist Church friends. Her life was filled with nourishing friendships and taking care of family.
Gardening was her favorite hobby, and she was happy getting her hands in the dirt and watching things grow and produce.
Mary was a West Virginia Business College graduate and worked as a legal secretary in the office of the Harrison County prosecutor, as an executive secretary at Aeromech Inc., and as Bridgeport High School secretary (1967-1986).
Friends will be received at the Ford Funeral Home, 215 East Main St., Bridgeport, on Sunday from 2 p.m.-8 p.m. The funeral service will be celebrated in the funeral home on Monday at 11 a.m. with Rev. Dr. C. Michael Hopkins presiding. Interment will follow in the Bridgeport Cemetery, Bridgeport.
Condolences may be extended to the family at www.fordfuneralhomes.com or to Amedisys Hospice Care, Suite 102, Anmoore, WV 26323.
The Orr family has entrusted the care and arrangements to the Ford Funeral Home, 215 East Main Street, Bridgeport.

The developers are moving forward with the plans to build a senior living center on the Spalding Drive property where the burned out church now sits - and it will be a welcome relief to residents who have watched the weeds take over the church building and parking lot.
Final site and landscape plans were submitted to Gwinnett County for Noble Village at Spalding to be located at 5701 Spalding Drive. "The site and landscaping plans have been approved," said Bryan Lackey, Director of Planning and Development for Gwinnett County.
Lackey said the City of Peachtree Corners and its yet-to-be-formed Planning Commission will take over the responsibilities for future reviews and approvals.
Janice Lloyd, who lives in a home just behind the property says she can't hardly wait for the new development to begin. "It's very positive news," said Lloyd who has lived in her home in the Peachtree Station neighborhood since 1989 and has been worried about rodents on the property. "Since its been vacated, the property has been in steady decline," she added.
The owners were expecting to pull a grading permit by the end of last week and hope to have bulldozers out to clear the property and begin building soon.
There is currently one other Noble Village located on Satellite Boulevard in Suwanee. Mark Gary, one of the owners of the development, said the Spalding Drive development will be similar with residential choices for residents 55 and over that include:
- Private apartment homes (one and two bedroom)
- Cottage homes (one, two and three bedroom)
- Assisted living (one bedroom and studio)
- Memory care villa (studio)
Plans also call for a restaurant, walking trails, gardens, and numerous other amenities.

A. The rules of evidence applicable to criminal proceedings do not apply to removal hearings. The Supreme Court in United States ex rel. Bilokumsky v. Tod, 236 U.S. 149 (1923), noted that a failure to abide by judicial rules of evidence does not render a removal hearing unfair.
1. Evidence is admissible when it is probative and its admission would not be so fundamentally unfair as to deprive the alien of due process. Trias- Hernandez v. INS, 528 F.2d 366, 369 (9th Cir. 1975).
B. Evidence during a removal proceeding is controlled by the Code of Federal Regulations; any type of evidence is admissible so long as it is material and relevant to the issues before the hearing. 8 C.F.R. § 1240.7(a).
1. Since the rules of evidence are not applicable and admissibility is favored, the pertinent question regarding most evidence in immigration proceedings is not whether or not it is admissible, but what weight the fact finder should accord it in adjudicating the issues on which the evidence has been submitted.
C. Hearsay
1. The Federal Rules of Evidence define hearsay as "a statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at the trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted." Fed. R. Evid. 801(c).
a. Hearsay evidence is admissible in deportation proceedings unless its use is fundamentally unfair. Matter of Grijalva, 19 I&N Dec. 713 (BIA 1988). Hearsay evidence may be relied on, even if contradicted by direct evidence. Calhoun v. Bailar, 626 F.2d 145 (9th Cir. 1980).
b. The corollary is also true: where an asylum applicant's testimony consists of hearsay evidence, the statements by the out-of-court declarant may be accorded less weight by the trier of fact when weighed against non-hearsay evidence. Xiaoguang Gu v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 1014, 1021 (9th Cir. 2006).
D. Types of hearsay evidence regularly admitted against aliens include: country conditions reports; documents such as birth records, marriage certificates, or conviction records; ex parte affidavits and other statements of witnesses; and out- of-court admissions of the alien, including those recorded on a Form I-213.
1. Documents
a. Courts have generally upheld the admission of documents such as birth records, marriage certificates, or conviction records into evidence in removal proceedings provided that the evidence is properly authenticated. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.41, 1287.6(a).
b. Care should be taken not to afford the hearsay statements contained within a properly authenticated document undue weight. In Singh v. Gonzales, 403 F.3d 1081, 1087-1088 (9th Cir. 2005), the appellate court rejected an IJ's reliance on hearsay statements contained within an asylum officer's Assessment To Refer to support its adverse credibility determination where the Assessment did not contain any record of the questions and answers at the asylum interview, or other detailed, contemporary, chronological notes of the interview, but included only a short conclusory summary, there was no transcript of the interview, or any indication of the language of the interview or of the administration of an oath before it took place, the asylum officer did not testify at the removal hearing, and the applicant was not asked at the removal hearing about the accuracy of the asylum officer's report or given any opportunity to explain the discrepancies the asylum officer perceived. See id. at 1089–90.

- Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Place the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 3 minutes, and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
- Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.

Made it without marinading...just threw everything together after browning the steak strips in the oil. I doubled all the other ingredients and completely forgot to add the tomatoes. (the main reason I chose this recipe) Still Delicious! Oh, I did use fresh ginger that I was trying to use up instead of ground.
This was the best pepper steak recipe I've tried! I gave 4 stars though because I added garlic and didn't use tomatoes, but that's just a personal preference for me.
This recipe immediately went into my recipe box! Will definitely make it again. My dinner plans changed so the meat marinated for 24+ hours and was very delicious - I would recommend marinating at least a few hours or overnight. I only used red & yellow bell pepper and green onions because I had no fresh tomato. Added garlic and crushed red pepper for extra kick.

Woman Required to Show I.D. to Buy a Six-Pack...of Teaspoons
Apparently British people sometimes buy six-packs of teaspoons at the grocery store. Who knew? Perhaps their spoons get worn out from stirring all that tea?
Anyway, a gal who happens to be a reporter for a grocery store trade publication called (unsurprisingly) The Grocer was innocently buying some teaspoons at Sainsbury's when beep, an I.D. check alert went off at the self-checkout scanner.
When she asked why the purchase had to be verified, she was told the spoons "could be used as drug paraphernalia".
Sainsbury's later changed its story, saying that the alert calling for age verification had been an error. Whew. Sanity restored, right? Wrong.
"The self-scan system recognised the spoon's SKU as one for a knife," said a spokeswoman. This had now been rectified.
Of course you have to be 18 to buy cheap cutlery with a dull blade. That makes perfect sense.

Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Portugal -- these are countries that CAN be fixed, if somebody tries hard enough. But Limetree Island is Hell on Earth, and I hope it sinks into the ocean sometime this century.
If we somehow get straightened out here, I can imagine a day when we invade the UK to liberate them from themselves.
I don't know whether you're joking or not, but it's LITERALLY getting THAT bad over there. It's fucking unbelievable.
Don't they have nukes?
the real question is if they have any orbit.
I don't think orbit is strong enough for limey teeth. The spokeslady is a blatant lie.
Yes, but the licensing requirements to use them are so strict that no one in the country is legally capable of pushing the button.
I was thinking more casus belli.
It greatly disturbs me the way British region people discuss shit like this in a condescending or cheery tone, when it sounds like they are really holding something in and are afraid to address it. Like when they talk about "the troubles".
If it's the younger ones, it's probably because they're completely fucking clueless. These people make inner-city Detroit schools look like Duke.
The one Ph D graduate I knew from Duke while in grad school studied scatological inferences in British Victorian literature. It's what her fucking dissertation was on.
That is not a good sign of an educational institution that is healthy.
...the United Kingdom's crusade against knives.
When they finally wrest all the blades from subjects' hands, they will turn their concern to various blunt objects. And then to fists. And then to, oh, I don't know, open windows?
God bless the English. When I'm down about the stupidity on display on this side of the motherfuckin' nightmare called the Atlantic, I can always be brightened up by the faggery going on over there.
I have a penis that makes me a potential rapist.
Steve Smith like you already!!
The penis mighter than the sword.
Western civilization will die, whimpering, when everything comes in plastic packages and no one is allowed to possess andything sharp enough to open them.
"Woman Required to Show I.D. to Buy a Six-Pack...of Teaspoons"
In France, they have to show their breasts.
Good thing it isn't Spain, or you would never be able to tell the age by Double D's alone.
I don't know about Spain, but there was this high school sophomore a friend of mine was tutoring (she's a teacher) who looked to be about a 34DD once, and it was pretty freaky precisely because she looked like a prepubescent, but had huge boobs. Freaky, as I said.
As a pal put it, 15 or 35 or 55, all Spanish women look 35. But I know what you mean. Cousin's daughter is in the eighth grade with the exact disposition. Big eyes and a cute little chipmunk face straight out of a Disney cartoon and a body that should not be on anyone under eighteen.
The movie-grade URGH element was that this girl also had a very high-pitched, wittle girl-esque voice. It topped it all off. I was officially freaked out.
She could have been famous as hell in Japan.
An intercontinental journey? Don't be ridiculous. I'm surprised she can handle walking with tits that big.
I knew a girl like that. She had big tits from when she was like 10 years old. She is the same age as I am, though, so much less freaky and more exciting.
With a "Sharpmaker" by spyderco you can make even a cheap knife sharp as a razor. Best knife sharpener I have ever seen!
Works on spoons, too, does it?
When you ban guns, petty criminals will find other weapons to use. Who knew? At what point do they stop banning things and admit that bad people will do bad things and the best we can do is make sure that good people have the ability to defend themselves?
Never. Eventually, the whole island will be a prison, and they will keep the violent offenders separate from the petty offenders and the pre-criminals.
So England will become what they originally created Australia to be?
Not going to happen. The Brits are so far in denial their courts have banned the right of self defense. It was a case where an elderly man killed an intruder with a sword cane after the thugs started pounding on him that the court declared the right of self defense a legal fiction, and the man was convicted of murder.
A swarm of uranium meteoroids can't hit that island fast enough.
It was a case where an elderly man killed an intruder with a sword cane after the thugs started pounding on him that the court declared the right of self defense a legal fiction, and the man was convicted of murder.
Wow, and I thought the Tony Martin case was bad . . .
Oh no, that is just the tip of the iceberg. RPA is right, it is un-fucking-believable. I visited decades ago...it was bad then, but now...it takes your breath away. I have an english pen-pal from my visit and she is in complete denial about how things are there.
Oh no, that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah, I guess so. The fact that a jury would actually convict the man in Killazontherun's anecdote (if the case was exactly as portrayed) is a pretty solid indicator of where they are as a society.
(I'm pretty sure juries over there can nullify)
That is really the most fucked up of all of this. That you can't even use force to defend your life. If anything is a fundamental right, then defending your own life certainly is.
If anything is a fundamental right, then defending your own life certainly is.
But if you allow your subjects the right to self-defense, you're instilling a sense of autonomy; i.e., the notion that there are some instances where it's permissible not to have to rely on the state. And you can't have that.
Sounds about right.
It's really fucking sad. England used to be a relative bright spot in the world as far as respect for rights and a reasonable legal system goes.
The Brickbat entries about yob culture alone are enough to make sure I will never, ever spend more than two weeks at a time in that madhouse. People who defend their properties and businesses against yob destruction, theft, and violence typically wind up in jail themselves.
The UK is over, AFAIC. The bleeding hearts have bled everyone else to death.
"The UK is over"
If I lived in Scotland, I would probably hope that this were true.
Nah. The Muslims will impose Sharia law on them soon enough. It might actually be an improvement.
"In truth, a state that deprives its law-abiding citizens of the means to effectively defend themselves is not civilized but barbarous, becoming an accomplice of murderers, rapists, and thugs and revealing its totalitarian nature by its tacit admission that the disorganized, random havoc created by criminals is far less a threat than are men and women who believe themselves free and independent, and act accordingly."
- Jeffrey Snyder, "A Nation of Cowards"
"At what point..."
No point. They'll create universal curfews, ban half the sorts of objects ever created, institute life sentences for petty crimes, and censor the shit out of media before they ever consider doing something so reasonable.
This is a logical next step in the UK
Another example is their policy of mandatory sentencing and incarceration for carrying weapons (knives included).
Any object can be considered an 'offensive weapon'. People have been thrown in prison for walking down the street with screwdrivers, walking sticks, etc.
Better yet, builders have been prosecuted and imprisoned for carrying sharp construction tools.
I have the right to purchase any kind of knife at any age and without being registered in a record. If it comes to it, I will proudly be an illegal knife owner and carrier, and if I need new steak knives I won't feel bad about stealing them. Fuckin stupid shit.
"And when thy children gaze into their past, they will despise your wretched soul -- for you destroyed the inheritance of your forefathers, and they shall have nothing to give their own posterity. Such is the self-obliteration of mankind."
I wonder what the requirements are for purchasing Sporks in the UK.
In keeping with the leftist goal as the law cracked down more and more on citizens, violent crime has shot through the roof. Every one of my friends over there have had robbers break into their homes while they are home. They tell me now that they are no longer allowed to put up burglar bars or hardware cloth over their windows.
Here's an interesting "tidbit" for you:
The violent crime rate in Britain is around 2,000 per 100,000 people. For comparison, note the United States' 400 or so, and Canada's 900 or so.
What is a poor legislature to do when someone pays him some serious quid to ban objects on windows that make it difficult to get through them? It is their own damn fault for not offering the officials bigger bribes than the criminals.
I was reading about that. It's so the burglers don't accidently get hurt.
Here's another nut-punch: British cops stopping people for no reason (I'm being literal here), asking to see documents, wasting time and throwing petty insults at the driver from a point of RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH that would utterly shock even the most detestable Chicago cop, and then arrest the driver for obstruction of a police investigation when he asks you questions like "what law allows you to do this?", or "why did you stop me, for Christ's sake?"
New York pigs are not so shocked by that.
That's not so different from here. "Burglaries in the area" no time frame, no suspects is considered reasonable suspicion in Texas. And they throw around obstruction like it's going out of style.
Link? Not that I doubt you. Nothing surprises me about the UK anymore. But I would be interested to know more.
Every one of my friends over there have had robbers break into their homes while they are home.
I've read that the rate of "hot" burglaries (those committed while the residents are home) is three times in the UK what it is in the US. Over there, burglars don't have to worry about being shot - or being met with any sort of force, for that matter. Any intruder harmed by a homeowner during the course of a home invasion is likely to be out of prison before his "attacker" (and is then likely to be given state money to pursue a lawsuit against his "assailant").
Next up: A requirement that one leave his doors unlocked to prevent any possibly disruption in the activities of the thief. Maybe a mandate to have things stacked nicely for him comes after?
Oh....and my pen-pal sued her neighbor for 'disrupting the community'. He had complained about her crossing over his property. Apparently over there you can be sued for being an asshole. ( I would be in deep shit )
Yeah, but can he sue her back for being a cunt?
Apparently not. She is the personification of the old english country lady. She is well liked in the community and belongs to a plethora of greenie organizations. I am sure he could sue, but would be laughed out of court.
It appears that they've turned an entire country into a small town high school. May god have mercy on their souls.
Alright, alright. You win. I see you have played knifey-spoony before.
"It's a knife. It's not safe."
"It's educational."
"She could cut herself."
"That would be an important lesson."
I bought some Robitussin® the other day. The cashier asked me to state my birthdate "for entry into the computer". After I stopped laughing, having realized the cashier was serious, I gave her, um, a date and asked what the store did with the entries. "Nothing."
Don't laugh so hard, it happens here too. My son, who is 19, is a merchandiser for a soft drink company here in CO. He was in Safeway a few months ago when they were giving away a knife set with purchase. He thought that was a good deal, but they told him he had to be 21 to get the knives.
He pointed out that he legally carries a shotgun in his truck.
Did they call the National Guard to subdue that Redneck Teabagger Gun-toter (tm)?
That's probably a store policy rather than a government one.
Merchandiser. Is that what they call delivery guys?
Seriously...they just gave me a free paring knife at Walmart yesterday for listening to a guy talk about Forever Sharp knives for 20 minutes.
God bless the USA!

The Jordanian desert ecology is a distinct unaltered antiquity, a magnificent heterogeneous landscape that is emergent of fluid erosion processes which have occurred over fifty million years. The biodiversity of the desert reveals a vast platform for research into natural artifacts. Participants will investigate natural phenomena which include sand dunes, rock strata, rock bridges, canyon, gorge and mountain formations. During the course of the workshop, participants will visit, examine and inhabit two UNESCO world heritage sites: Wadi Rum and Petra; the later named as one of the worlds seven wonders.
Throughout the design-research workshop, participants will investigate the morphology of the desert and its underlying principles and processes within a computational context; working towards the development of algorithmically generated topologies. Participants will choose from a number of studios/units, to design interventions at different scales from the material, architectural to the urban. The ambition is to reconsider traditional design methodologies which are often limited to morphological abstraction; overlooking the inherent potentials within natural systems. The workshop will conclude with a public exhibition of participants outcomes.

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great… (2006)
by Timothy Egan
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
One of THE best books that I have EVER read. Mr. Egan took a look at a facet of US history and by telling the story through the people who lived it, has written an amazing chronicle of it. Hugely recommended.
Wow. This is an amazing book, bringing the history of the Great Plains in the 1930s to life. I had no idea how bad things were.
Imagine an environment in which the very air you breathe is heavy with dust, soil, and sand. It blows into your eyes, ears, nose and throat. It settles into your hair and skin, and into every fiber of your clothing. Next, imagine that this same dust invades your place of safety, your haven from the storms, your home. Then, consider that this becomes your daily existence for years. The color green is erased from your design palette. All you see is the color of dirt- brown, red, yellow. Your landscape is completely altered and pests and rodents multiply by the thousands. Your means of living becomes impossible and your way of life is going extinct. You lose your livestock, your possessions, your pride, and sometimes even those you love. But you don't give in to the circumstances. You plant your feet into the farmland and wait, hoping that next year will bring about a change, a return to the way things used to be. You stay because this land, your land, is all that you have. Now imagine that you created this disaster...and there is no going back. Read more at http://www.thekeytothegate.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-worst-hard-time-by-timothy-e...
Dennis gave me this book so I could learn more about where he lives. It is an interesting book & very readable. It is typical popular history: stories about individual people wound through the history.
An expose of the dust storms in the 1930's America, written from interviews of the survivors. That is what caught my eye on this book. If the author interviewed survivors though, he rewrote their words and wove them into a narrative with his own agenda. I have the audio version, and the narrator, Patrick Lawlor, did a great job.
This book revealed many aspects of the Dust Bowl which I had not known, and gave a personal story to it. I did not know that static electricity could kill a garden. There was a point, about a third of the way through, when I considered quitting on this book. The heartbreak and relentless descriptions of devastation were very depressing, but I decided if those people could live through it, I could listen to it. The author took the storyline of quite a few people and places and wove them together trying to show the bigger picture through the lives of individuals.
The repetition of the dust storms, the devastation, the dryness, and poverty became dreary and difficult to keep track of what year was being spoken of. I wish that the author had spent a bit more time on the recovery efforts and how the area became livable again. It seemed at the end that the author had an agenda of his own to emphasize that people should not be there in that area. I had to wonder when some of the actual journal entries given did not match his description of the devastation. All in all I am glad to have read this, it provided a lot of information in a personal and touching way.
The Worst Hard Time," takes the shape of a classic disaster tale. We meet the central characters (the "nesters" who farmed around the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles); dire warnings (against plowing) are voiced but ignored; and then all hell breaks loose. Ten-thousand-foot-high dust storms whip across the landscape, choking people and animals, and eventually laying waste to one of the richest ecosystems on earth.
Racing at 50 miles an hour, the Dust Bowl storms of the 1930's blasted paint off buildings; soil crushed trees, dented cars and drifted into 50-foot dunes. Tsunamis of grasshoppers devoured anything that drought, hail and tornadoes had spared. To the settlers, "it seemed on many days as if a curtain were being drawn across a vast stage at world's end." Families couldn't huddle together for warmth or love: the static electricity would knock them down. Children died of dust pneumonia, and livestock suffocated on dirt, their insides packed with soil. Women hung wet sheets in windows, taped doors and stuffed cracks with rags. None of this really worked. Housecleaning, in this era, was performed with a shovel.
On April 14, 1935, the biggest dust storm on record descended over five states, from the Dakotas to Amarillo, Texas. People standing a few feet apart could not see each other; if they touched, they risked being knocked over by the static electricity that the dust created in the air. The Dust Bowl was the product of reckless, market-driven farming that had so abused the land that, when dry weather came, the wind lifted up millions of acres of topsoil and whipped it around in "black blizzards," which blew as far east as New York. This ecological disaster rapidly disfigured whole communities. Egan's portraits of the families who stayed behind are sobering and far less familiar than those of the "exodusters" who staggered out of the High Plains. He tells of towns depopulated to this day, a mother who watched her baby die of "dust pneumonia," and farmers who gathered tumbleweed as food for their cattle and, eventually, for their children.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618773479, Paperback)
The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since.
Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times).
In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:44:51 -0400)
Presents an oral history of the dust storms that devastated the Great Plains during the Depression, following several families and their communities in their struggle to persevere despite the devastation.

Madonna has removed the swastika superimposed over an image of right-wing French politician Marine Le Pen from a video played during shows on her European tour, The New York Times reports.
The video that contained the image – as well as other political and religious figures including Pope Benedict XVI, Sarah Palin and Chinese President Hu Jintao – accompanied Madonna on the song "Nobody Knows Me." When she performed the track Tuesday in Nice, France, the video depicted Le Pen's face with a question mark over it instead.
"It's proof that our arguments won out," Gaël Nofri, the leader of a Nice-based conservative group that supports Le Pen's National Front Party, told Agence France-Presse. "It's excellent news."
The National Front party has spoken out several times about the picture of Le Pen, which preceded an image of Hitler with a swastika superimposed in the same position on his face. At one point the party threatened to sue Madonna, with vice president Florian Philippot saying, "We cannot accept this insulting connection. Marine Le Pen is defending her honor, but also that of party members and supporters and the millions of Front National voters."
Madonna defended her use of the image in an interview with a Brazilian television journalist, saying that it fit her message about "the intolerance that we human beings have for one another." She added: "Music should be about ideas, right? Ideas inspire music."

In "The Healing Power of Sleep," Pamela Weintraub reports on the latest research and why sleep is so essential to physical and mental health:
Sleep, new research reveals, is a master regulator of health. A sleep deficit or disruption can create wide-ranging havoc, compromising our immune system, causing inflammation, and damaging our genes. Losing just an hour of sleep a night increases risk of cancer, heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
Lack of sleep can also lead to memory loss, negatively affect people's reflexes and decision-making skills, cause hearing loss and psychiatric disease, and impede sexual function.
And it's not just people who suffer from sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea who have to worry, says James Maas, PhD, a recently retired Cornell scientist and one of the world's foremost sleep researchers. He says at least seven out of 10 Americans aren't getting enough sleep and they're at risk for serious health problems, as well.
How many hours of sleep do you get, on average, a night?

The neon sign for Fagiani's is back in business on the front of the building now owned by Napan Steve Hasty.
The business itself — a restaurant called The Thomas and a bar called Fagiani's at the Thomas —is still under construction, but Michelin-starred chef Brad Farmerie is training kitchen staff now at the old Copia facility.
Click the "Keep me posted" button for updates on the new restaurant and bar in what was formerly downtown Napa's most notorious building, which was closed for business after the 1974 sexual assault and murder of co-owner Anita Andrews.
Fagiani's sign remained on the building for many more years until it became unstable and had to be taken down and placed inside the closed bar, where it could be seen on the floor by the curious who peeped through a dusty front window.
The new owners have restored it to its former place of prominence as the largest "blade" sign on the block.

More than three weeks after a rights dispute blacked out NBC 13 for some local Dish Network companies, the satellite provider and content company Media General continue to spar with no end in sight.
Last week, Dish filed a formal, 21-page complaint alleging Media General "breached its duty to negotiate in good faith" in the weeks since the blackout began on October 1.
Now, Media General has fired back against the filing, saying Dish's FCC complaint is "meritless," and that the company will continue to try and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
The blackout began after new terms for a retransmission contract could not be renegotiated between the two companies. The dispute has blocked local access to Birmingham-based WVTM NBC channel 13 for Dish subscribers in and around the Cullman area, along with 16 other markets across the southeast.
In a prepared statement via WNCN, Media General noted this is the first time in the history of the company that it has failed to reach an agreement with a cable or satellite carrier — while noting Dish has been involved in 32 similar disputes over the past three years.
"We have acted in a responsive, courteous and professional manner at all times, have accommodated numerous of DISH's requests and have negotiated in absolute good faith since we began discussions in June — not merely because of any obligation to do so, but because our own standards, and our commitments to our viewers and our communities demand nothing less," a company spokesperson said. "Unfortunately, DISH would prefer to manufacture a dispute, and now ask for government intervention, for its own purposes, rather than pay us a fair, market-based rate for the value of our stations."
In statements before and after the blackout began, both sides have blamed the other for failing to agree on a new rate. Channel blackouts have become more common than ever in recent years, and Dish customers in Cullman were affected by a similar incident earlier this year.
With the blackout now on its 23rd day, this dispute seems to be the longest in recent memory to affect the area.

Venue Info
Peacock Theatre
The Peacock Theatre is situated on Portugal Street in the West End of London, close to Holborn tube station.
The first recorded mention of a theatre on the site can be traced back to 1660, when the first woman ever to take to the British stage appeared in Shakespeare's Othello.
Following several fires during the 19th century, the theatre was rebuilt in 1911 and named the London Opera House. But due to competition with the Royal Opera House, the New London Opera House was forced to close in 1912.
Changing tack, it re-opened in 1914 as the National Theatre of England and remained as such until 1957 when it was demolished to make way for an office block.
Beaten but unbowed, the theatre's owners built a 1000 seat theatre in the office basement. Entitled the Royalty Theatre, it opened in 1960. But the scaled-down venue only saw moderate success, drawing small audiences to niche shows.
During the 1970s the London School of Economics took over the theatre as a lecture hall and named it the Peacock Theatre. Sadler's Wells also sourced the venue as its West End home, meaning that the theatre today has a dual identity, hosting both lectures in the daytime and theatre and dance performances at night.
Among the most notable of the shows to have graced this unusual theatre's stage during its history are the infamous musical Oh! Calcutta! and a hit production of Bubbling Brown Sugar. The theatre was also used as a TV studio for the long-running light entertainment show This Is Your Life.
Today, the Peacock Theatre enjoys consistent success and is especially well known for staging both classical and modern dance shows.
The layout, size and atmosphere of the Peacock Theatre make it the perfect place to see both new and established dance performers as well as the occasional play. Recent successes include The Snowman, Umoja: The Spirit of Togetherness and The Rat Pack.
Whatever you decide to see at the Peacock Theatre, we wish you an entertaining and rewarding visit.

Now that the state has discontinued payments to local government agencies for compiling and publishing meeting agendas under the Brown Act, some residents are wondering exactly how much the City of West Hollywood was billing the state each year.
According to David Wilson, the city's interim finance director, the city was billing approximately $64,000 per year to the state.
The exact amount varies year to year depending on how many public meetings the city held, but it averages to approximately $64,000 each year.
"The City bills for City Council meetings based on a formula created by the State that allows for 30 minutes per agenda item," Wilson told Patch. "For Advisory Boards and Commissions, the City bills at a flat per meeting rate also established by the state."
Since the 1997-98 fiscal year, the city has billed the state $900,168 in charges connected to compiling meeting agendas according to records Wilson provided Patch.
Of that $900,168, the state has paid the city $248,018, roughly a quarter of the amount due. The state still owes the city $652,150, payment of which has been repeatedly deferred due to the state budget crisis.
According to a Los Angeles Times report, the state owes local governments across California approximately $97 million in Brown Act payments.
With such a high amount owed, plus interest, Sacramento lawmakers opted in June to stop cities from billing the state for compiling agendas, thereby suspending a portion of the Brown Act. That decision gave cities permission to stop posting agendas for public meeting.
However, the City of West Hollywood has , thereby absorbing the annual $64,000 cost, which is less than the amount the city will spend to
In addition to posting meeting agendas on the city's website, the city also posts hard copies of meeting agendas in , at the , at the and at the (second floor reference desk).

After joining a failed bipartisan effort to adopt a broad approach to rein in the country's financial condition Wednesday, voted for the Republican House budget proposed by Thursday.
Dold's decision to go along with the House Republican majority after the initial idea did not get much support from either party drew criticism from Deerfield management consultant in the Nov. 6 general election.
Dold joined a group of Democrats and Republicans to introduce a proposed budget for the next fiscal year based on recommendations two years ago by President Barack Obama's deficit reduction commission, known as the Simpson-Bowles Commission.
The latest rendition of a bipartisan approach to the budget, know as Cooper-LaTourette, lost, 382-38.
"I support the Cooper-LaTourette budget because my constituents are crying out for us to find common ground and advance solutions on a bipartisan basis," Dold said. "I was pleased to work with some of the Democrats on this serious proposal that puts everything on the table for discussion."
The idea coupled spending cuts and entitlement reforms with changes to the tax structure.
Schneider called Dold's decision to back the House Republican plan, which passed with a 228-191 vote, "unfortunate" because of its treatment of Medicare and the undue burden it places on middle class and older Americans.
"We should not balance the budget on the backs of families and seniors who can afford it the least, especially while we keep giving out tax breaks to those who simply do not need them," Schneider said.
Schneider would begin by ending favorable tax treatment for companies which transfer jobs outside the country, reduce subsidies to oil companies and eliminate military spending already approved by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
"I know with smart policy decisions, we can cut spending and balance the budget in common sense ways that protect the middle class," Schneider said. "We have an obligation to our children to get our deficit under control as well as a duty to our seniors to protect Medicare."
Recognizing the House leaves Medicare intact for those 55 and over, Dold joined his fellow Republicans voting for the proposal because it helps contain the country's debt.
"I voted to support the Republican budget proposal because this blueprint provides a clear vision of what this country needs to do to get our skyrocketing debt and deficits under control and put us back on a path to prosperity," Dold said. "I appreciate the importance of both looking at the big picture and the pragmatic need to find a way to get things done."

City Council approved the site plan Monday for a new 6,200-square-foot Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant on Harper, north of 9 Mile Road, in St. Clair Shores.
Ground is projected to be broken on the site after the thaw this spring, and should be completed by early August, owner Kent Ward said.
"We are excited to be here in the community," said Ward, who added the corner is perfect for the demographics of the restaurant chain along with the community. "(The area) will probably look better than it has for a while."
The development has been in the works since May, and will be built on the location of the former Shorecrest Lanes just north of Linda's Place.
Ward, who owns 34 other Buffalo Wild Wings including the restaurant in Mount Clemens, said the new St. Clair Shores facility will be built in the traditional style of other Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants. It will have 245 seats inside, and 85 on the outdoor patio on Harper.
"Thanks for coming to St. Clair Shores. We have been waiting for you," said Councilman Ron Frederick.
Developers will also tear down a vacant building north of the proposed restaurant and resurface the 150 space parking lot to the west and north of the new building. A replacement wall will be built along the backyards of the homes on Grove as well as landscaping along Elaine.
Ward previously said there was some interest earlier in the 6,000 square-foot building north of the restaurant, but nothing firm at this point.
