I am having a terrible experience with the online shop and their customer service. I expected the delivery time to be 3-7 days after confirmation that it has been shipped. I ordered 2-3 weeks ago and still have not received an email that it has been shipped (nor do I think it has shipped). I sent an email to customer service and help, and got an automated message that they will reply me within one business day. I still have not gotten a response yet. I really wanted to like Lomography, but so… Read Full Review

I built my Konstruktor very carefully, looking forward to using it on holiday with my daughters, who were fascinated by the kit and the film rolls. However, on final assembly, it was clear the shutter release was binding on the camera body somewhere, and was not working properly. I contacted Lomo, who asked me to send a video of the problem. I did, and then they asked me to return the Konstruktor to them in Vienna, which I did, promising they would either diagnose the problem or send a… Read Full Review

I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble with the Konstruktor. I can assure you that your issue has not gone unnoticed and I am not personally chasing this up for you. Could you please email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com so that I can keep you informed?
Sincerest apologies,

I´m happy with this online shop in general. I usually make 3 or 4 orders per year with the piggies I accumulate thanks to collaborations with their magazine or contests.

I love the way everything is explained and how they give you both, product shots and sample shots of what you an do with each camera as well as the film. The selection is very varied and the customer service is excellent. If you don't have a Lomography Store in your town, the online shop is the next best thing.

I had to change them. Also an order was lost and after two months returned to send it to me. Yet I still buy many things, like movies, albums, cameras ... because I love everything.

I'm glad to Lomography because it was my first "contact" with analogue photography. Just two years ago I was absolutely ignorant about film photography, c41, e6, cross process, medium format, etc. Reading tipsters, camera and film reviews helped me to get involved in the amazing world of analogue photography.

Recipe by Yen-Yen
"They're chewy and easy to make!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chocolate flavored cereal puffs
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons dry milk powder
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
This is a good oatmeal cake but it wasn't what I expected in a bar. It was runny and not the consistancy to "pat" in the pan. I also had to bake it for 40 minutes instead of 15.
These are AWESOME! I LOVED THEM! They were sweet and chewy. You can substitute the cereal with anything you like. I used raisins and they come out perfectly good. Just FOLLOW the instructions and maybe cook for an extra 15 min., but the overall product was EXCELLENT!
4 Ratings
This recipe was super yummy... especially if you're a person who enjoys a chewy breakfast bar. I added an extra 1/2 cup each of crushed almonds and raisins and used my favorite cereal instead of the one listed and it turned out pretty good!

Agriculture is the top industry in the Central Valley and local growers supply the world with hundreds of products every year. As with any industry, fostering future leaders is key to continued success; that's where the California Agricultural Leadership Program comes in. Twenty-four individuals - including three Turlockers - were named to Class 43 of the California Agricultural Leadership Program, an advanced leadership development program for emerging agricultural leaders.

Over and over again, Lonny Davis has witnessed a heart-breaking sight in Third World nations: men, women and children crawling on dirt roads as they make their way to free wheelchairs he and other Rotarians have brought. However, their dire situation does a 180 degree turn when they receive a device – once discarded in America and refurbished – that gives them dignity through mobility.
Two local children had a special reunion with a friend from Camp Taylor on Sunday. San Francisco 49ers quarterback and native Turlocker Colin Kaepernick celebrated his team's win against the Miami Dolphins with the two campers at Candlestick Park.

Local Visalus distributor Shaun Larsen is partnering with the United Samaritans Foundation to collect canned food and raise money to help feed children in need.
As part of the City of Turlock's Go Green week, citizens could catch a ride with the city's public transportation services free of charge.

The Turlock Irrigation District Board of Directors will consider approving a waiver for the Moccasin Point Marina concession lease agreement that would see the marina move from its current location at the Don Pedro Lake due to insufficient water levels.
The number of burn prohibitions in Stanislaus County almost doubled this past season as the abnormally dry winter kept air pollution levels high.

George Carey has entered the fray on the Welfare Reform Bill and has had a go at his fellow bishops in the Daily Mail. The poor bishops who have worked hard to dent what some see as a wholesale withdrawal of benefits to the poorest - who could be against helping poor children? - are accused of acting immorally. The former archbishop seeks to shift the moral debate from one about welfare and benefits to one about the state of the national debt. Now, all of us want to see a benefits system that rewards hard work and at the same time provides a safety net for those who have struck upon hard times. But what is a bishop for if not to stick up for those who have no voice? How can young children in poor families realistically speak up? At Church Urban Fund, we are in favour of reform but we also recognise from our relationships in local communities that there are real people, in this case children, who will suffer. Read more »

Study of COPD Subgroups and Biomarkers (SPIROMICS)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of SPIROMICS is to learn about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is sometimes called emphysema or chronic bronchitis. Millions of Americans have COPD, and it is the fourth leading cause of death in the country. The most common cause of COPD is cigarette smoking, although not all smokers get COPD. The discovery of new treatments for COPD has been slowed by a poor understanding of different types of COPD and a lack of ways to measure whether or not COPD is getting worse.
The study has two main goals. The first is to find groups of patients with COPD who share certain characteristics. Certain groups may respond differently to certain treatments. The second is to find new ways of measuring whether or not COPD is getting worse. This would provide new ways of testing whether a new treatment is working.
Condition |
COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Subpopulations and Intermediate Markers in COPD Study |
- Morbidity [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for an average of three years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Morbidity in SPIROMICS will primarily be measured by assessing acute exacerbations in the SPRIOMICS cohort.
- Lung Function [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for an average of three years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]COPD is characterized by physiological problems, such as airflow limitations and abnormalities of gas exchange and lung hyperinflation. These features of lung function are accessed objectively in the laboratory setting using spirometry/plethysmography, which can measure such parameters as FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second), FVC (forced vital capacity or total volume of air exhaled after full inspiration), FRC (functional residual capacity or volume of gas remaining in the lung at the end of tidal expiration), and IC (inspiratory capacity or maximum volume of gas that can be inspired from end-tidal expiration). The FDA preferred primary endpoint for assessment of alteration in disease progression in COPD is serial measurements of FEV1 over three years.
- Mortality [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for an average of three years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Deaths of SPIROMICS participants will be identified during follow-up calls and attempts to schedule clinic exams during the three-year study period, and deaths will be recorded in the clinical database. The cause of death will be determined via chart review and adjudication, and deaths attributable to COPD worsening or exacerbation will be recorded as confirmed clinical endpoints, in addition to contributing to the endpoint of all-cause mortality.

Long Island Memories
Verity Calls For Volunteers To Supplant Bureaucrats Nickerson Challenges MCTA Bill To County Austin W. Verity, of Massape-qua, Conservative Party candidate for Oyster Bay Supervisor, has called for the restoration of " genuine self- government as an alternative to government by bureaucrats, who consider the ordinary citizen as qualified only to pay his taxes." According to Verity, " The philosophy of the liberals in both major parties has resulted in total reliance upon bureaucrats and professional spenders." The solution, he continued, is " bold new concepts calculated to reestablish government by the people." A mere voice in the selection of officials is not enough", Verity added. " What we need is a town administration which will encourage responsible citizenship, and persuade local residents to volunteer their skills and talents for the betterment of the community they live in." " Most citizens in Oyster Bay are sufficiently dissatisfied with town government to dosomathing about it, and if elected as town supervisor I propose to give them the chance." " For example, many agencies and authorities, such as the town housing authority and the agencies handling public welfare, would be considerably more efficient and vastly less extravagant if their functions were supervised by civic- minded business and community leaders instead of professional spenders. I am convinced that such leaders could be persuaded to serve without pay. Their function, as I see it, would be to advise the town board, which would retain the final responsibility in each instance. To my personal knowledge, there are many promising prospects for such service among retired persons, many of whom possess knowledge and experience vastly superior to that of the bureaucrats. " By the same token, there are virtually limitless possibilities for volunteer public work projects, to be organized and whenever necessary supervised by the town. Such suggestions will, of course, be ridiculed by • liberal' politicians, who have long regarded pork barrel patronage, boondoggling and graft as their natural birthright. It's the reaction of the people, however, that I'm interested in hearing. " Are there worthy citizens in our town who, owing to financial hardship, occupy substandard housing? Our great-grand- fathers would have responded by organizing a community building project, and persuading local residents to donate the labor and materials for the job. I believe that people are basically as noble as they ever were, and that human decency could be appealed to today with the same results." " All we really need, said Verity, is a Conservative administration to replace • liberal' officialdom, which presumes that nothing has value unless it results from government compulsion." County Executive Eugene Nickerson this week defied the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority over the $ 1.79 million it has billed Nassau County to maintain 60 Long Island railroad stations there. Nickerson branded the claim " unconstitutional on several grounds" and offered to renew the county's previous voluntary contribution to the railroad of $ 420,000 a year. In a letter to Chairman Wil-liam J. Ronan, Nickerson asserted that section 1277 of the Public Authorities Law restricts Nassau's financial contribution to passenger station upkeep only and reiterated earlier charges that the $ 1.79 million bill is " unfair" as it is made up largely of non- related items. Nickerson's opposition to the MCTA charge is shared by Mayor Lindsay of New York and Suffolk County Executive H. Lee Dennison. The Nassau official wrote Ro-nan that " A number of ( bill) items set forth in your breakdown are not properly included and are not to be borne by Nassau County." At a press conference in his office, Nickerson identified these items, which include $ 203,394 for overhead on maintenance labor; $ 64,004 for liability insurance; $ 30,691 for police and police rental sup. \ ez; $ 481,641 for station agents and clerks; $ 19,286 for the railroad's information bureau; $ 32,383 for ticket stock; $ 22,759 for inter-lockers; $ 29,675 ( operations) for liability insurance; and $ 267,890 for overhead on labor operations. Nickerson also ripped MCTA charges of $ 1,432 for fire insurance; $ 2,972 for flagging crews; $ 7,667 for telephone calls; and $ 3,487 for ticket agents' expenses. Even if the statute were legal, Nickerson said nearly $ 1.2 million of the MCTA bill would be The Redmen of the Massapequa American Legion Post 1066 are pictured as they led the Annual Labor Day Parade held in Hicksville.

Last June, Nickerson toured a number of Nassau Long Island stations for whose upkeep he had been billed and found conditions to be " shocking." Defaced walls, broken windows, missing light bulbs, and littered station waiting rooms, as well as parking lots pocked with deep ruts, characterized many of them. To Nassau commuters it appeared obvious that the MCTA had not done a proper job of station upkeep with the funds prr ided by the county. Nickerso charged the MCTA had socked \ assau residents with '• a thinly disguised fare increase" in billing the county for $ 1.79 million. On June 28, he declared, " Instead of reaching directly into the pockets of 180,000 commuters already paying high fares for their tickets, Ronan has made a grab for their tax dollars." ' I f he can, Ronan will raise the fares again, this time directly, and try to pin the blame on Nassau and Suffolk counties and New York City," Nickerson warned. In his letter to Ronan, Nickerson wrote, " I am prepared to r e commend to the Board of ( Nassau) Supervisors that such a payment ($ 420,000) be made on ( a) voluntary basis." The payment would be made on the condition that it would be " in full satisfaction" of any MCTA or L. IJU*. claim on Nassau; that it would be understood to be " voluntary"; that it would be without prejudice to any claim by Nassau County against the line or MCTA; and that it would not be construed as implying recognition of the validity of the law under which the MCTA has acted.

A descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrims, Sydney Biddle Barrows was born into am affluent family in Philadelphia. After losing her job in New York's fashion industry, Barrows worked the phone for an escort service. She opened her own escort service, and gained a reputation for providing high-class prostitutes. She was arrested in 1984, and has since become a best-selling author of business books based on her experiences.
"I was in the make-people-happy business, you know? You have no idea how grateful these men were that I had the kind of business they could call up and get a nice, well-educated, lovely, pretty girl to come over and spend time with them in a way that made them feel safe. They were thrilled."
"I can't tell you how many times they would call and say, 'I can't imagine ever doing business with anyone else ever. You guys are great.' ... And that was a really good feeling. I don't get that from what I do now. I get other things from what I do, but that was very special."
Early Life
Sydney Biddle Barrows was born on January 14, 1952, in Hopewell, New Jersey. A true American blueblood, Barrows's mother and father are both descendents of the original Pilgrims who arrived at Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower in 1620. Her mother was named Jeanette Ballantine, and her father, Donald Barrows, Jr., worked in publishing. Barrows's parents divorced when she was only 4 years old, and she was raised primarily by her mother and her stepfather, Dr. Felix Molzer. Molzer was a former conductor of the Vienna Boys Choir and founder of the Monmouth Conservatory of Music in Rumson, New Jersey.
Barrows attended Rumson Country Day School, and then continued on to Stoneleigh-Burnham, an elite preparatory school in Greenfield, Massachusetts. At Stoneleigh-Burnham, Barrows distinguished herself as an equestrienne and an active member of the glee club, and was reportedly well-liked by her classmates. "She was always a great person to be with," one of Barrows's contemporaries at the school later recalled. "Very spunky. She had a great zest for life and a wonderful sense of humor."
Becoming the 'Mayflower Madam'
After graduating from high school in 1970, Barrows moved to New York City, where she spent a year working as a receptionist. A year later, she enrolled at Manhattan's Fashion Institute of Technology to study fashion buying and merchandising. She graduated in 1973 and received the school's prestigious Bergdorf Goodman Award, which included a $1,000 prize for academic excellence. Barrows then landed a position in the executive training program at Abraham & Strauss, and worked for five years in the famous store's jewelry department. In 1978, she accepted a job as the divisional merchandise manager at May Company, the owner of Lord & Taylor. However, Barrows was fired several months later, she says, for refusing to participate in a corporate kickback scheme.
One day in late 1978, Barrows was waiting in line for her unemployment check when she met a young woman who told her she worked the phones for an escort service to make extra money. The woman offered Barrows a job answering calls for the same service, and Barrows, desperate for money, reluctantly accepted. "It was paying $50 a night off the books and unemployment was only $150 a week," she later explained. "It was a lot of money back then." Barrows was simultaneously intrigued by the moneymaking possibilities of the sex industry and frustrated by the way the particular service she worked for was run. "It may have been the world's oldest profession, but it wasn't being run very professionally!" she remembered.

'Fiscal Cliff' Statement From President Obama
Leaders from both parties in the Senate came together to reach an agreement that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support today that protects 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small business owners from a middle class tax hike. While neither Democrats nor Republicans got everything they wanted, this agreement is the right thing to do for our country and the House should pass it without delay.

Year Ends As It Began, With Lawmakers Headed Toward The 'Fiscal Cliff'
Well, here we are. It's New Year's Eve and with just hours to go before the end of the year and the arrival of the so-called fiscal cliff, Democrats and Republicans in Washington are still trying to strike a deal that heads off automatic increases in taxes, automatic deep spending cuts in a variety of programs and the automatic expiration of some jobless benefits.

Robert Coles on the Spiritual Intuition of Children
» download (mp3, 5:38)
Shiraz Janjua, Associate Producer
As promised, here's preview audio for our upcoming program with Robert Coles, a child psychiatrist who often deals with the spiritual lives of children. Originally, he was a prominent voice in an older Speaking of Faith program, Children and God. I believe that was just the second episode of SOF I ever listened to, and I remember loving it, yet apparently the program was beginning to show its age. The program also featured three voices. Back then, they said a radio program with just one long interview for one entire hour was a crazy idea. It'll never work!
Kate and Rob listened to Robert Coles' full interview with Krista again, and were convinced we had to bring this back to air as a one-voice show, taking it completely back to the drawing board and producing a new show from it. Here's a rough tidbit from the new program we're producing. Enjoy! The full program is scheduled for the first week of January.
Editor's Note: You can now listen to the entire program on the Web site for "Robert Coles and the Inner Lives of Children."

Campaign memorabilia on view this winter in Nashua City Hall
From pens to potholders and paperweights to pins, candidates campaigning for office have tried to boost their visibility with a host of catchy marketing memorabilia.
Marking that colorful journey is an exhibit in the Nashua Historical Society's wall cases on the first floor of Nashua City Hall, 229 Main St., through the end of March.
After George Washington took the oath as the first president of the U.S. in 1789, brass buttons with his image and the words, "G.W. — Long live the president" were marketed to commemorate the occasion.
But, curators said, it was not until the 1800s that the first campaign items were handed out to gain name recognition.
Campaign buttons or pins with candidates' names, pictures and slogans were made by placing a thin piece of celluloid over paper and wrapping it around a metal disk.
Technology advances in 1916 led to lithographing the image and message directly onto the tin disk. Today, disposable stick-on badges are a popular choice. With time, campaign free giveaways expanded to include pens, pencils, potholders, magnets, paperweights, combs, calendars, toys, bumper stickers and more.
Nashua historian Frank Mooney shares items of his collection in the city hall display, which can be viewed between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. There is no admission fee.

By Scott Pukos
CANANDAIGUA — On the heels of a primary race that could decide the next town of Canandaigua supervisor before the November election, the Ontario County Democratic Committee Chairperson John Hurley criticized the town's Democratic Committee for its failure to endorse current supervisor — and Democrat — Sam Casella.
In May, both the town Republican and Democratic committees endorsed Republican Pam Helming for supervisor. If Casella loses the Democratic and Independence primaries to Helming, his name will not be on the ballot in November.
"I do not ordinarily take sides in a primary election, but what is happening in the town of Canandaigua makes such a mockery of the primary election process that I need to weigh in," Hurley said during a press conference with Casella Thursday at the Lafayette Motel & Restaurant on Lakeshore Drive.
Hurley clarified he was not speaking on behalf of the entire Ontario County Democratic Committee.
"The primary process is akin to a family disagreement," he continued. "You don't invite the neighbors in to settle the disagreement, you settle it among the members of your family."
Casella added that's he's confused as to why the town's Democrats would choose a route that could potentially give residents only one option during election day.
"That's just plain wrong," Casella said of voters only having a single option.
Casella added that he has been approached by Republicans in past elections and has turned down the chance to potentially run on both lines. Hurley said Helming should have done the same.
"Just because the town Democratic Committee calls his Republican opponent a Democrat does not make her one anymore than my calling an elephant a donkey makes it a donkey," Hurley said.
Jim Fralick, the town of Canandaigua Democratic Committee chairperson, was not pleased with the county's intervention — and its accusations — concerning the supervisor race.
"Democratic bigwigs at the county level are attempting to tell local Democrats — who have been watching Sam Casella's machinations for over a decade — what is best for our community," Fralick said in a statement. "The town Democrats decided to put the interest of open and transparent government above the old boy politics of the past. That is why we endorsed Pam Helming."
Town Board member — and Republican — Terry Fennelly was at Thursday's press conference. In his nearly 30 years in Canandaigua, he said he has never seen a situation where one person ran under both the Republican and Democratic lines. He also disputed the claims that the current Town Board, under Casella's leadership, has not been transparent with the public.
"There is nothing to hide," Fennelly said. "If people think it's an issue, they would come out to the meetings."
Page 2 of 2 - He noted that a lot of the residents who attend meetings and express concerns about transparency are people running for Town Board this November. Fennelly is also running for re-election on the board, though he was not endorsed by the town's Republican Committee.
Geneva City Supervisor Dominick Vedora, Canandaigua City Supervisor David Baker, Town Highway Superintendent Jim Fletcher and Town Clerk Judy Carson also attended the press conference.
As an Independence Party candidate, Casella won the town supervisor election in 2009 over Democrat Reid Hankin and Republican Jim Hecker. Casella lost the Democratic primary that year to Hankin in a tight 175-170 vote.

Fork Report: ASU rally falls short in loss to Stanford
John Gage came off the Cardinal bench and drained three three-pointers during an 11-0 Stanford run that gave them a 29-16 lead with 6:42 left in the first half.
The lead would grow to as many as 16 after a Josh Huestis jumper gave Stanford a 48-32 advantage with under 15 minutes to play. Huestis finished with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
But the Sun Devils once again showed their grit, using a small lineup for most of the last 15 minutes and getting to within three points after a Jonathan Gilling three with :14 left.
The Cardinal left the door open after Chasson Randle was tied up on an inbound play with :11 remaining, but reserve Bo Barnes missed on an open three-point attempt from the top of the key with five seconds remaining.
The win pushed Stanford's record to 15-9 overall and 6-5 in Pac-12 play, while the Sun Devils fell to 18-6, 7-4.
The Good:
ASU's tenacity once again was on display. The Sun Devils were overmatched in virtually every department: depth, size, skill, shooting ability...and yet somehow they crept back into the ball game.
Stanford's three-point shooting, led by Gage and Huestis, was sensational in the first half. The Cardinal drained 7-of-11 attempts from behind the arc in the first twenty minutes and finished the game 10-of-18.
The Bad:
The Sun Devils shooting was horrific. ASU shot just 34.4 percent in the game, and only 30 percent from behind the arc -- although many of them were uncontested shots.
Guard Evan Gordon hit on just 4-of-16 attempts and only 1-of-6 from three-point range.
Speaking of uncontested shots, the Devils once again struggled from the free throw line, hitting just 8-of-16 attempts on the night.
And finally -- the officiating crew of Michael Reed, Dick Cartmell and Tom Nally didn't have a great night either. Several seemingly obvious fouls and violations went uncalled on both teams and it was one of those non-calls that had big implications. With ASU trying to claw back into the game, down ten with just over 13 minutes to play, the officials missed what seemed like an obvious goaltending call on Stanford's Powell when he blocked a driving layup attempt from Gordon -- after the ball had already hit the glass. On the ensuing possession, Christian Sanders hit a three, stretching the Cardinal lead to 52-39. The five-point swing was huge and ultimately too much for ASU to overcome.
He Said It:
"We weren't getting any benefit on offense from it and defensively we were having a hard time with our bigs out on the perimeter guarding and so, we tried to match up with them a little better by going small-ball with about 14 minutes to go in the game. I think it helped us close the gap." -- ASU head coach Herb Sendek, on why he went with a small lineup featuring Carrick Felix, Gilling, Gordon, Carson and Colvin for most of the second half.
� ASU turned the ball over only eight times and all were committed by two players. Jahii Carson had five and Gilling had three.
� The Sun Devils, despite being outsized, won the rebounding battle 38-36 and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds which led to a 13-2 advantage in second chance points.
� ASU forward Carrick Felix finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the campaign.
� Former Stanford star and 2004 Pac-10 Player of the Year Josh Childress watched the game from behind the Stanford bench.
� ASU observed a pregame moment of silence for former Sun Devil football player Tyrice Thompson, who was died last Saturday from injuries suffered in a stabbing while he was working as a bouncer at a Scottsdale bar last month.
What's Next:
The Sun Devils hit the road for a crucial two-game swing against Utah Wednesday and Colorado Saturday.

Firemans park gang fighting
Posted in the Dix Hills Forum
I am asking for anyones help, my son was jumped on June 9th 2011 at firemans park near the bathrooms by a group who calls themselves Rehab. One of them had put something in his hand during the fight and fractured my sons skull, who then needed surgery, and had 3 plates put in. The detectives have not done too much, or come up with to much. My son wasnt the first victim of this group,from what Ive heard hes been about the 5th. They also had tried to jump him on June 6th 2011. If anyone seen it or has any information please get back to me! Thank you so much for all your help.
Ask you son. |
If you want any real information then ask this question on the website City-Data.com it's much better than topix. I'm sure someone there is an expert on the gangs of Lindenhurst. I'm telling you this because this is a serious question. |
Since: Jul 11 3 |
I have! There are parts he doesnt remember because of the head trauma, the fractured skull, and needing 3 metal plates put in. The detectives are having a hard to getting statements and finding out the names of everyone who was there and surrounded him! |
What more information do you have? |
Was he alone?
What time did this happen? Why was he there? Why doesn't the police have ANY info on 5 assaults in a short period at one location? Is Lindenhurst full of people with a Black Heart condition? |
Once sign up for city-data.com and post your question. |
I've heard of Rehab.
Since: Jul 11 3 |
no he was there with 2 friends, but my son wasnt near them when the group came up to him and circled him. This happened around 6 pm, which I know people (adults) had to see something, which is why I am asking for help on here. The police do know about Firemans Park and Rehab, they had warned one of my friends to keep her 3 kids away from there, that there is alot of problems and crimes going on there! |
Judged: 1 Why was he not with his friends? What did his friends see? |
Judged: 1 1 1 or House loads of people who do not want to work they rater scam welfare, workers compensation , wic , social services , work off the books , and have 2 illegal appartments? Then you are talking 99% of Lindenhurst resident you will never find the social service scammers gangs in Lindenhurst they are in every home. TOB is usless and lets illegal apts in Lindy. |
Judged: 1 1 |
Gangs of Lindenhurst are a joke. Like in town how theres those dumb juggalo kids.
I was jumped by them a few years ago. Email me, firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll help you with what I know. But I can tell you the police never did anything for me, I'm not sure what they're gonna do for your son. |
Just talk on here |
United States |
NOTHING. They're Suffolk County Cops. They never do ANYTHING. |
There are a bunch of dirt bags riding bikes hanging out in a black p/u and doing drugs. I drove by them every night going to Wellwood. They don't look like a gang just a bunch of future low lifes.
Sorry to hear about your son, that is really horrible. I hope he is well! |
I seen many kids handing out at Firemans park, the fight and smoke dope. Kids in Lindenhurst got real trailer park like, Lindenhurst has turned slummy the past few years sad.
i moved out of lindenhurst 2 years ago and visited for some family affairs, it wasnt the best when i was a teenager(im 22)and im talking about juggalos, and numerous "gangs" ive seen pop up throughout my school years, in all honesty to refer to them as a gang just puts them up higher on their pedestal because they think being bad is good, what the "gangs" of lindenhurst are, are a bunch of kids whos parents are lowlives, they group together because they like their drugs and think their "gangster" its such a ridiculous notion it blows my mind, im talking juggalos, the ghetto thugs and countless other cliques in school that band together and fight people when they dont even understand the real truth behind gangs (not saying its good) but gangs have family values to them these are just a bunch of kids who want to appear badass so they can get laid.
upon returning to ny a few months ago, i couldnt do anything but hang my head in shame that i was birthed in this what now appears to be a false and pathetic mocking of compton, if teens in lindenhurst wouldnt just get drunk and fuck and have illegitimate children or unexpected children and actually had kids that they were planning, theyd pay more attention to them and things like this wouldnt happen. im not saying its all parents either, accidents happen to responsible people, but responsible people take responsability for their actions.... |
and also if youre still seeking information on this "rehab" gang, check facebook, kids are shitheaded these days
oh and there was that all spanish gang flipside i remember too |

It was the weekend of EverQuest 2 "Desert of Flames" Reviews!
Boomshack liked everything about the September expansion for the MMO genre's distant silver medallist except the quirky encounter-lock game mechanic. Creating a huge, gaping exploit is one way to keep the low- to mid-level game interesting I suppose.
Well I don't want to get bogged down in criticism as I really like Desert of Flames but the new mob lock system really doesn't work. It means that a guy can attack a mob, but the mob isn't locked to him, so all outsiders can then attack it. It means a level 35 can complete quests and will get credit for it just for hitting the mob the one time. For raid mobs it will be locked permanently, but not for solo heroic mobs. In my view this is a pretty bad decision by the developer.
Boomshack tries out EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames.

Thank you sir, may I have another?
Gamespy likes "Desert of Flames" but wants more low-end content. Nah, it's good business sense to develop content solely for the top 25% of your playerbase, right?
This is certainly good news for the game's most hardcore players, many of whom feel that they've been stagnating at the endgame. The newly-added Isle of Ro will provide more than enough fodder to last them several months. This focus on high-level content, though, came at a cost, as frankly, there isn't a whole lot here for low-to-mid level characters. Oh well. At least they get adventure packs.
Gamespy takes a shot at EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames.
And another!
Gamespot digs EverQuest 2's new desert turf, but is disheartened by incomplete PvP implementation and content exclusively designed for high-level players. Of course, to complain about the latter means you'll have to put yourself at loggerheads with every MMO expansion ever made.
Desert of Flames has the most to offer EverQuest II players of advanced level, but the new PvP trappings and the combat revamp mean that there's something new to see for just about anyone. The player-versus-player combat still doesn't feel like a fully realized diversion just yet, but the act of exploring Ro and getting your character to level 60 should nicely fill the time you don't use waiting around for an arena game, provided you're of a high enough level to actually do those things. Existing players who are nearing the level of expansion country should check out Desert of Flames, and if you've let your account sit fallow for a bit, the changes to the combat system are worth sampling.
Read all about EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames (again) at Gamespot.
Welcome to the Desert of Flames. You can now kill other players. Please enjoy your stay. GameSpy has posted a review of EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames giving the game a thumbs up. Huzzah to Sony Online Entertainment for a job well done.
" SOE has been pretty aggressive about updating EverQuest II (not to mention meticulously listing every such update to its playerbase). As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see a full-fledged expansion to the game so relatively soon after its release less than one year ago. Desert of Flames is the first retail expansion to SOE's flagship MMO, and in many ways, it matches the scope of some of the original EQ's most memorable ex-packs. On top of a plethora of game-system overhauls, the game adds a significant amount of new content -- enough so that it warranted an increase to the character level cap, from 50 to 60. "

For those of your about to EQ2, we salute you. GamersInfo has published a review of Everquest 2 that's well-suited to players new to MMO gaming.
" That's the basic nature of the game. You do quests, you group with other people, you wander the countryside and figure out the mysteries of the world. You go see interesting, and exotic new people and creatures and, a lot of times, kill them. As you go up in level, raiding becomes more and more important - large groups of people, usually in guilds, getting together to kill the larger, tougher mobs that drop the really good loot. "

How fair is EQ2's Gigglegibber Goblin Gambin' Game? Ethec comes across a snickering goblin in Everquest 2 who wants to help him gamble his hard-earned coin. Would you go along with it? Neither would... well, yes I would! But first I had my Mage friend Skeezix perform a little bit of mathematical magic on the gamblin' game first. Not usually being one to consult with the almighty spreadsheet, I couldn't pass up this opportunity to check out this nifty, free meta-game feature. What's it all about? Will it pass muster? How much is the goblin's theoretical total take when the first jackpot winner hits? These answers and more just a click away!
"When it comes to gambling, who couldn't use some plat? Still, like Fred from "Scooby Doo," I had a bad feeling about this. Fighting the halfling urge to peeter away my cobalt fund (I have one of those kitchy jars on top of my microwave - "Armor Fund"), I decided to consult with my good friend (despite being a gnome) Skeezix. He's a sorceror training to be a wizard, and no doubt the Mages at the tower were putting them through the organ grinder known as "descriptive statistics." Which is kind of comical: my own training was simply a matter of being pointed at a fighter dummy and spamming direct heals while a creative invective-hurling high elf drill sargent-type screamed at me to click FASTER!!, spittle flying, the dwarf next to me sobbing. An ugly scene by all accounts..."

Sony Online Entertainment is broadcasting as RSS feed, popular among bloggers and news sites, to publicize "hot" offerings in Station Exchange, which allows players on select servers to buy and sell virtual items and characters for cold, hard, real-life cash. There's no word yet on whether the model who won the "Quest for Queen Antonia" contest will start blogging her bachelorette exploits, queencam included, that players can view as a Station Access premium option. Actually, I'm not sure that anyone's heard from her; did she take the money and run? Heh.
"We have setup an RSS feed for hot auctions on Station Exchange in the last maintenance release. So now you can monitor hot auctions in your favorite RSS reader."

Gambling makes its EQ2 Debut A new gambling meta-game is included free-of-charge with today's EverQuest 2 update; it's sort of a slash between the lotto and a slot machine. I got to see it in action last weekend and it's a lot of fun. Other popular changes include 100% run speed while in stealth mode (balanced by the addition of more "see invisible" mobs in the world) as well as tradeskill and UI enhancements.
" *** Headlines *** - Try your luck at the Gigglegibber Goblin Gamblin' Game! - No more run-speed reduction with stealth and invisibility! - Tell at a glance if you don't have enough power to use a spell or art! - Imbued item recipes now available for level 50+ crafters! - Many user interface windows have a new look! "

It's an adventure, not an expansion. MMORPG.com has reviewed the second adventure pack of EverQuest 2, The Splitpaw Saga. Our calls to Anna Nicole Smith were met first with confusion as she thought we were the local Burger King calling her back about her order, to outright hostility. We are confident that had she not ordered the four-dozen whoppers she would have said this:
" Released nearly three months ago, The Splitpaw Saga is Sony Online Entertainment's second adventure pack for EverQuest II. Since that initial launch, several nasty bugs have been sorted – including one particularly nasty bug that would cause an entire 'zone' to crash – to go along with some minor general changes. "

Minimum brightness level
I've noticed when I set my screen brightness to the minimum from the system settings, some other utility apps like AVG and Android Assistant show it's only at 11% brightness. If I turn those down to zero, it really makes the screen dark, but it doesn't stay. When I back out of the setting, it doesn't save if it's below that 11% (it does save if above that, though). Is there a way to get the phone to hold that extra low setting?
Right now I use a screen filter app that's like virtual window tint. It works well, but discolors the screen a little. I often use the phone in low light situations where even the factory minimum brightness is too bright, and would love to do this strictly via backlight. - 01-06-2013, 12:58 PM #2
