It is sad for me to think about them not being around anymore.. I grew up around the club house and an old bar called The Chair. I loved seeing the bikes and hearing the roar of the engine..

Well, they took their criminal ways with them. That makes Alton a better place right there. Thank God for small favors.

Hi All, The New Attitudes are the "clean and sober" component within the Outlaws Nation. They've been in the Metro area for years and are a respected motorcycle club. The Outlaws MC clubhouse in Alton began in response to the Hell Angels organizing a "Nomad" chapter in Belleville. The HA set up house at the former "Pink Bar" in Belleville and the AOA (American Outlaw Association) countered with the clubhouse on Broadway. BOTH moves made for an "interesting" few years in the Metro as neither had much of an "official" presence in this area beforehand. After the HA Nomads were disbanded, the clubhouse on Broadway shut down. Interesting developments are once again in the mix as southern Illinois has seen the Storm Riders MC patch over to the Outlaws (Carbondale area). Scuttlebutt just this weekend claims a new Outlaws MC clubhouse on Rte 101 out by Granite City. I haven't confirmed that with my own peepers, but I would surmise the patch over down south along with renewed presence in the Metro area by the AOA would make some members of the HA a little "anxious".

PLEASE....you are just a bunch of Sons of Anarchy nut hangers.(You do know that is pure fiction right?)
Patches, bikes, booze, drugs, w*ores. Wow, what a life!
Get a grip people. Hell's Angels are pu**ies, and the Outlaws are the equivalent to a girl scout troop in the Motorcycle world.
Sure, they all talk the talk. 1% this, 2% that. It's sad really!
#16 Sep 13, 2010
The hells angels are starting to make their pressence known again in the granite city area. Prospects are scouting all local bars and poker runs looking for other MC's in their territories. According to granite p.d. the outlaws and new attitudes are currently fueding and the hells angels dont want either of them around. Im not saying that there is gonna be some kind of MC war because its just not like that around here. But bigger MC's are starting to realize how big of a biker community it is in that area and things are starting to heat up.
#17 Sep 13, 2010
There is a difference in the "Biker Community" and 1%ers though. The 1%ers are doing their best to insulate themselves within the entire biker community, as a whole.
Unfortunately they are hoping to use them as protection agaist negative public opinion and reforms in the law. I fear they are being exploited, just as it appears the charities are, as well.
#18 Sep 30, 2010
The fact that no one ever posts here tells you how little or how much anyone gives a damn about the OL. They have all but evaporated. At least they have little influence or power left in the area.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
25 Jan 2005 19:46 GMT
Britain's main Islamic group said it should be called Genocide Memorial Day and commemorate all mass killings, including those in Bosnia, Rwanda and Palestine.
"Israel has also committed mass killings," Inayat Bunglawala, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, said.
"It is undeniable," he said. "Israel has dispossessed a Palestinian nation. It is an insult to them if we don't recognise their deaths. The cry Never Again should be for all people." The council, representing 1.6 million Muslims in Britain, has written to Home Office Minister Charles Clarke spelling out the reasons for declining their invitation to attend. "We are not belittling the Holocaust. We share the immense pain and anguish felt in the Jewish community about the Holocaust, but feel Britain is a multi-faith country and everyone should be involved," Bunglawala said. This had been the council's standpoint since the inception of Holocaust Memorial Day in 2001, according to him.
"We believe the term Holocaust Memorial Day in the title is not inclusive," Bunglawala added. UK Jews respond
The Board of Deputies, an umbrella group for Britain's 750,000 Jews, was disappointed by the council's stance. "It is regrettable that they have declined this year. especially as we commemorate the liberation of the camps by Allied forces," a spokesman said. "The board refute any suggestion that the Israelis are committing genocide," he added.
As part of British commemorations, Queen Elizabeth is hosting a reception on Thursday for Holocaust survivors and British veterans who liberated the death camps. The Nazis murdered millions of Jews and other groups and nationalities, including Poles, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners and gypsies. Millions more were imprisoned or forced to work as slaves.

Man Plans, God Laughs
By Nat Goodale
Bowditch Press, 2013
Softcover, 242 pp., $14.99
When I think of Donny Coombs, a fifth generation Maine lobsterman who's the hero of "Vacationland," the immortal words of Popeye the Sailor Man, pop into my head — "That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!"
It will take him awhile to get to that point, though. Coombs is pretty much an independent live-and-let-live kind of guy. He's largely content to go lobstering, accompanied by his ornery, territorial, yet faithful and loyal dog, Tut.
However, Coombs' placid life is about to become more stressful on several fronts.
First there are his new neighbors, Delano and Eliza Nelson. The Nelsons are, as Mainers say, From Away. And the missus in particular is hell-bent on, as Goodale puts it on his website, "saving Maine from the Mainers."
Job one in this quest is getting Coombs to remove some items they deem unsightly from his yard. Thus begins what will blossom into an increasingly ugly battle between the two neighbors.
Then there's Shelly Payson, an attractive junior at Harvard, where she's an outstanding member of the crew team. Shelly's impetuous, and like her well-to-do father, Chase, used to getting her way. She's attracted to Coombs, which displeases daddy greatly. His mission is to kill the growing relationship between Coombs and his daughter.
And last, but certainly not least, there's lobsterman Stanley Maven, who covets Coombs' territory. He ignores signs to back off and becomes increasingly bold about setting traps where Coombs fishes.
All of these battles get ratcheted up to a fever pitch. And when Coombs reaches his Popeye-esque breaking point, things get very ugly indeed.
Goodale's crafted a fast-paced page-turner, filled with strongly drawn characters. At first, I was disappointed in the ending. I suspect I'm too used to watching movies where Hollywood wraps everything up neatly to send us smiling out of the theater.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it really rang true. When it's all said and done, "Vacationland" proves to be a highly entertaining story that's well-worth reading.

Bold no direct iPhone rival, suffers 3G flaw
The BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G share similar traits but ultimately apply to entirely different markets, Citigroup investment analyst Jim Suva says in a research note issued today. In a hands-on test of the Bold shortly before its launch, Suva notes that the Bold touts both 3G and a significantly improved web browser versus earlier BlackBerries but that its design is still ultimately suited to work versus Apple's offering. This is particularly acute with the Bold potentially costing as much as $399 on contract.

The new version holds twice as much as the 80GB PS3 that now serves as the low-end model, and was built partly to hold extra content from the just-opened PlayStation video store. The console still has the same expansion as the newer 80GB model, however, and is limited to two USB ports as well as backwards compatibility only for original PlayStation games. Wi-Fi and a DualShock 3 gamepad carry over from the other revised model.

Peripheral maker Razer has announced a new headset, the Megalodon. Intended for gaming, the unit has a microphone for voice chats and commands, with sensitivity adjustable through a desk-based control module. The headset's focus however is on simulating 7.1-channel surround sound, a task handled through a decoder which Razer claims is eight times faster than similar chipsets.

(Updated with US info) Sony today used the Leipzig Games Convention as the venue for revealing its third revision of the PlayStation Portable.

Corallo Software has updated VirtualKeyboard to version 3.5, adding numerous upgrades, including Spaces compatibility, a Universal Access zoom button and support for non-Roman alphabets such as Cyrillic. The software's main aim is to provide a point-and-click keyboard interface for users with disabilities; it can also be used as a teaching tool, however, and for kiosks. With VirtualKeyboard running, mouse-clicking on keys will send the keystroke to the active application. It handles Shift, Command and other modifier keys as well.
BenQ ships two pivoting, high-contrast LCDs
BenQ on Wednesday formally rolled out two G series desktop LCDs aimed at artists or others who want extremely adjustable displays. The 22-inch G2200WT and its 24-inch G2400WT sibling rotate 90 degrees for tall portrait resolutions but also travel as much as 5.1 inches upwards; the movement is twice as much as with similarly-adjustable displays and promises a near-ideal viewing angle.

OpenClip to add app-to-app iPhone copy-and-paste
A developer believes he has created a way for copy and paste functions to work on the iPhone without violating Apple's SDK agreement. Zac White has started a non-profit, open-source project named OpenClip, from which developers can borrow framework for their own apps. Programs with the technology should not only be able to copy and paste internally, but between each other; this works through saving selections to a shared space on an iPhone. All applications are able to access this space, and there is no need for processes to be running in the background.
AT&T picks up LG Invision, Sony W350a
AT&T today began offering two new phones, including just its third mobile TV device. The LG Invision is billed as the smallest phone of the type in the US and is just four inches tall while also registering at under half an inch thick.

American Airlines kicks off in-flight Wi-Fi
American Airlines today started offering Gogo, its Aircell-run service for in-flight Internet access. The feature pipes a cellular Internet connection from the ground to a router onboard each plane, which in turn shares its access to all passengers through Wi-Fi.

iPhone browser share on steady increase
The iPhone is currently maintaining a steady growth in its browser share, figures provided by Net Applications show. Although its share of the browser marketplace actually decreased slightly in the weeks before the release of the iPhone 3G, since the July 11th launch, these numbers have been on a continual increase, and surpassed June levels within less than a month. The last reported figures, from August 18th, show a share of 0.23 percent.
Intel slips details of dual-core Atom chip
Intel at its Developer Forum is quietly providing new details of its widely reported dual-core Atom processor.

The chip should remain on the same 533MHz system bus.

Casio today began its prelude to the Photokina show with three new Exilim cameras for the US and elsewhere, two of which introduce a new automatic image tuning feature. The Zoom series tops out with the 10.1-megapixel EX-Z300 and the 9.1-megapixel EX-Z250, both of which include a new Makeup feature: the optional setting can dynamically improve the look of faces in portrait shots by either eliminating blemishes or reducing the impact of long shadows. They can also automatically correct overly dark faces or stitch together three shots to simulate a long exposure time.

Microsoft this morning used the advent of the Leipzig Games Convention to launch a second generation of its reborn SideWinder gaming and performance peripherals.

After an initial announcement in December, Apple on Friday added former Grey Group chief creative officer Tor Myhren to its leadership roster as VP of Marketing Communications, placing the well-known ad exec in charge of Apple's advertising and Internet marketing efforts, as well as having a hand in packaging design. He will report directly to CEO Tim Cook, and is replacing the retired Hiroki Asai, who left Apple after 18 years with the company.

Luis Buñuel
by Bill Krohn
Cinema has been a fortunate art form. It had the immense good fortune to seduce Orson Welles and Marcel Pagnol away from theatre, Pasolini and Jean Cocteau away from poetry, and Stanley Kubrick away from chess. It was a comparable stroke of luck that Luis Buñuel, one of the most brilliant representatives of the surrealist movement, chose to make films and was able to make ...more

Shelves: cine, fotografias, filmografia
Libro con orden cronologico de la filmografia de Luis Buñuel. Lo unico reprobable que le pueda decir a este libro es que el autor se tomo la libertad de agregar a Buñuel en la ficha tecnica de una pelicula que se plegio una escena recomendada por el, esto puede dar una publicidad inadecuada, pero fue criterio del autor. En general es un buen libro, al final aparecen carteles de la epoca de sus peliculas, destaco unos de europa del este que usan imagenes al estilo de H.R. Giger, que la verdad no ...more

|This course is a lot of fun. The holes are not all the same, and they are in very good shape. This is a typical Country CLub course. Everything is in good shape, and the fairways are wide and inviting. The greens roll true, and aren't too fast or slow. It's a course worth playing if you get the opportunity.

More Drake Reference Tracks Surface, He's Still More Popular Than Beyoncé
Pete Rock
When industry vet Pete Rock personally passes you a fresh beat, what is there to do but blaze it and share the finished product with the world? That's exactly what Blu did—and the result, The Clean Hand, is nothing short of stellar. Released via the artist's Twitter Tuesday evening, this record finds West Coast underground mainstay dropping characteristically smooth, self-confident bars over the Big Apple beatsmith's dreamy harp samples. This one-off release isn't attached to any larger project, but fans can keep it locked for anything and everything Blu in the weeks and months ahead.

Covered In Shame

Are you hindered by something you have done? How about something that someone has done to you? Do you feel like you are covered in a situation that has caused all eyes and mouths to be on you?

Covered In Shame is a life changing teaching that will cause listeners to allow the Holy Spirit to flow so that freedom will become a lifestyle and not just an option for others.

Where to begin? After calling up several tree-cutting services, David was the only one who called us back . . . and still is; furthermore, he called us back while he was on vacation! He and a teammate came out on time to assess our situation and estimate how much it would ...morecost. They were very professional, personable and polite and their experience showed in how quickly they knew how they were going to manage each tree differently, based on how they were positioned around our property, their tall height, leaning characteristics, etc… My wife and I did quite a bit of research ourselves to get an initial feel for what price range we should expect. David totally blew that expectation out of the water; the price he quoted us was MUCH cheaper than what we were expecting. They came out the very next morning (right on time, as before), did an excellent job in carrying out what they had planned and were done by noon. I highly recommend Trees Unlimited and will use them exclusively from now on.view less

The next day they showed up first thing in the morning and began removing the trees. It was interesting to watch th...moree techniques they used to cut the tree. They did a remarkable job taking them down, especially the one that was over the living room which I was nervous about. I would highly, highly recommend Tree Toppers for anyone needing tree work done!!!view less

Finding the right arborists for the job is just like hiring any other professional tradespeople, such as plumbers or electricians. You want trustworthy people who know what they are doing, especially since they are working on or around your home - the most expensive piece of property you own.
Don't hire the first person who claims to be a professional, but only has a chainsaw and a flatbed pickup truck.
What Kind of Work Do You Need Done?
Before you search for an arborist, make sure you know what kind of work needs completing. Do your trees need a simple trim of their leaves and branches, or do you require a more serious task, such as sawing low-hanging branches that could cause damage to your house if a severe storm occurs?
Once you know the extent of the work you need completed, make a list of tree service providers in your area. If you know you have low-hanging branches that could prove to be problematic, it's smart to find an arborist sooner rather than later. Many tree service providers get a a lot of business after storms hit, so you could be waiting for a while if you delay in calling a professional.
You have a better chance of getting a good deal on trimming or tree removal if you get any necessary work done in the winter, as opposed to busy seasons like spring and summer.
Look for Reviews and Ask for Recommendations
Start your search for a tree service by looking at the online reviews of any companies in your area. Remember your family, friends and neighbors are also trusted sources of information, so ask them if they can recommend a tree service to you. Ask them what kind of jobs the arborist performed, how much they charged and if they were pleased with the results.
Are They Certified Arborists?
Not all tree service companies feature certified arborists. If you have trees you want to keep and care for, you need a full-fledged arborist for the job. Ask the company to verify qualifications and credentials before you sign or agree to anything.
Hiring a certified arborist gives you more options. In case you decide you don't want trees chopped down, ask if there's anything he or she can do to spare any sickly trees you might have.
Remember that the landscape of your yard either adds or subtracts to the value of your home, so upkeep of your trees is very important if you want good home equity.
Ask for Proof of Insurance
Before hiring a company, you need to know it's carrying enough insurance to cover any damage done to your property or any injuries that could result from the work done on your home.
Make sure you verify the tree service is insured and for the proper amount.
Request a Walkthrough
Don't sign a contract for the work until the arborist walks you through the details of the job and explains the kind of work he or she will be doing, how long it may take and what kind of equipment will be used.
While doing a walkthrough, ask how debris will be disposed of. Will the service be responsible for clean-up? It could be you want the tree converted into mulch or firewood. If so, make sure you and the arborist are both on the same page before you make a hiring decision.
This is also a great time to ask about the service's qualifications. Ask for a list of references you can contact regarding the quality of the service's work, as well as the tyeps of jobs it has performed in the past.
Compare Estimates and Average Costs
It's always smart to request estimates for jobs from several companies before making a decision. Obtain a written bid for any work.
How much you'll pay for services depends on how tall and large the tree is and what type of job is required. This is why the average cost of trimming a tree varies widely. Trimming or pruning a 30-foot tree can cost anywhere from $75 to $400, while taller species such as oaks and pines may run from $150 to almost $900.
The average cost of completely cutting down a large tree can be well over $1,000 with stump removal. The price of grinding down the tree's stump also varies. Many tree service professionals charge by the diameter, with the average price being $3 per inch.
Keep in mind that the more dangerous the job, the more it will cost to remove or even trim a tree. If the tree is located in a hard-to-reach area or if there are power lines either near it or in the way, a tree service will charge more.
With that being said, it's important to get an itemized invoice that shows how much each part of the job will cost, from the actual chopping down of the tree to the stump grinding and disposal.
A tree service professional, also known as an arborist, does much more than chop down trees and remove stumps from your front yard. As a homeowner, you likely want some greenery on your property. However, out-of-control trees and shrubbery can be hazardous to you and anyone who enters your yard. Trees can also balloon your homeowners insurance rates if a branch falls on your home, vehicle or somebody walking on your property.
Diagnose Disease
Experienced tree service providers can give you insight into how to properly care for your trees and what to do if any of them are diseased. In fact, many homeowners regularly call on arborists to diagnose the health of their trees. Many times, tree service workers must fell a tree if it has contracted an ailment.
However, just keeping track of the fertilizer you use, the soil the tree is in and the amount of water the tree needs can keep some diseases at bay. This is why it's smart to hire an arborist, who can advise you on whether you can save the trees on your property or whether you should cut them down and remove them.
Arborists can also treat the tree and possibly cure it of common diseases such as canker, heart rot, root and butt rot, sooty mold, powdery mildew or verticillium wilt. Some of these ailments attack certain species of trees via the soil or roots, and if they aren't caught soon, the plant could die.
Tree service experts not only diagnose the diseases ailing your saplings, they also provide insect control if it happens that the plants are sick due to pests. Not all tree diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria and lack of water. Some bugs burrow through the bark and damage hardwood and softwood trees. Depending on the species of trees in your yard and the region of the country you live in, aphids, the infamous emerald ash borer or other pests could destroy your healthy trees. Calling an arborist sooner rather than later can help you head this problem off at the pass before you're stuck with a treeless yard.
Not only can an arborist help you ward off tree diseases and pests, he or she can also study samples of the soil on your property to determine if the ground isn't nutrient-rich enough to support vegetation.
Tree Cutting and Removal
Felling trees and mulching them into pulp is the most common job for which homeowners need arborists. However, you might need a tree service if you plan to construct a new home or if you're adding an addition to a pre-existing residence. If a tree happens to be in the way of your plans, call a service company. They can chop the offending plant down and remove the stump from your property so you can start building.
However, if you wish to protect the trees around your home from any construction work, a tree service can also help. An arborist can prune some of the branches to ensure the tree stays healthy but doesn't interfere with new construction or additions.
Emergency Assistance
If a storm hits and damages your residence, a tree service professional is usually on your list of people to call for help after first responders and your insurer.
A professional service can completely remove a tree or just prune and saw off its branches if a storm damages a tree. After sawing or destroying the tree, professionals can then remove any of the dangerous debris from your yard by hauling it off.
Planting New Trees
Tree service companies don't just get rid of sickly or dead hardwood and softwood trees, they also offer their expertise and assistance if you want to plant new ones. If you want to add to the greenery in your yard but you're concerned about the right species to plant or where to put it on your property, seek the advice of an arborist.
Last but not least, tree service companies are also great places to get your wood if you happen to have a fireplace. Many tree businesses offer free delivery and stacking of hardwoods, such as maple or birch. These can make for the best firewood because they burn slowly and don't produce as much smoke as other types.
No industry is safe from hucksters and scam artists, unfortunately, and tree service providers are no exception to this rule. Do your due diligence and always ask for proof of insurance and certification before agreeing to any work. You will also want to be on the lookout for telltale signs of scams. Be cautious of any company that:
