Saturday, local shopping and happy scale!
Sunday, April 27, 2014
Sometimes I step on the scale mid-week. My official weigh in day in on Monday, but I stepped on the scale today. It finally said an even 180! That made it time to take my new picture in my new style. There's this thing about the number 180 with me. Over it I feel fat and bloated, but under it I feel average and able to do anything. It's much easier to fit into my clothes under 180. My muffin top isn't as prominent under 180. It's the second magical number, the first was 200. 180 makes me feel average and like I can blend in with the world.
The kids' new shoes came in today, so we went out and got them, now they have well fitting new shoes! On the way home we stopped downtown to pick up some local, well made items. The bakery and the meat shop were our stops. Now we have good, local lunchmeat and fresh bread to put it on. I let the kids pick out a treat in the bakery too so one had a donut and the other a cupcake. I'm going to have to budget for downtown shopping more often, especially when the farmer's market starts for the season.
Before we set out to do anything I had breakfast. Just the regular stuff, fruit, vanilla yogurt, and oats.
When my husband finally woke up, I got him to take some pictures for me. This is what I look like now, letting it all hang out.
And this is my 2 second makeover, sucking it in allows me to see where I will be going with my body soon. I know you all do it, we all suck it in sometimes.
When we got to the meat shop, I always pick up some Happy Sticks. They're a spicy meat stick and always a treat when we stop there.
The kids left right away with their father when we got home, so I settled down for some lunch. I had the roast beef lunchmeat on the bread that is almost gone at our house, we'll be breaking into the new loaf in the next couple of days.
I had a handful of trail mix a little while later.
About an hour later I had a granola bar.
This is my garden. I have 6 pots planted and this one is the one that is grown the most. Those are purple beans and there are a couple of tomatoes working their way up too.
I still wanted some of that lunchmeat, so I had a few more slices a bit later.
Just before everyone came home, I wanted a little something sweet, seems like I kept on finding my legs carrying me into the kitchen all day. This is an organic cereal, made my milk turn chocolate.
For dinner, I used the pound of ground beef I picked up that morning to make a hot dish. This is a "cheeseburger" hot dish with ground beef, a can of tomatoes, some cheese and noodles.
At the end of the day my husband decided to pop up some popcorn, It's the multi-colored blend we have. So popcorn and Dr. Who became the late night thing.
It seems I'm doing something right to be able to keep on losing the weight without logging my food. I guess the pictures are helping. I must have gotten the right habits set in place to keep on losing the weight until it gets to a maintenance weight. Perhaps I'll actually see those 160's I've been looking for the last couple of years.

Looking good! Especially with your shoulders thrown back. Yes! 160s are the next number and you can do it! I think logging food truly helps, and your pictures are a great way of "logging."

I love your 2-second makeover!
I can do a similar one with a mirror. I hold it in front of my chest, look down, and I'm a wrinkled hag. I move it up two feet, and my face looks 20 years younger!
Maybe I need to get more hobbies!

When I think about capitalism in the world I see that companies do everything for the sake of money, selling their products. That should not surprise anyone and nobody really trusts in all the lies of modern television advertisement. But when we apply this thought on the mass media things might not be that obvious to everybody.
Still media are part of capitalism, money, selling and certain interests which are determined by the boss of a media concern. It is fundamentally import to understand that there is no neutral ground as every person in the media has an interest which is nowadays mostly capitalistic. After hearing about the internal censorship of newspapers and television channels, I had to understand that every news magazine, every media has to stick to its customers which are paying the media for their advertisement. When we think back around 60 years ago when in Germany Hitler controlled the media, everyone is aware now that he used this powerful machine to control and to influence the masses. This has never been different. We should not dare to think that any newspaper wants to tell us the truth, if its mission is to sell products, to spread certain thoughts or ideologies. It also highly affects how we think about the world and other people. It tells us that a certain style in clothes is "in" and other things are "out", not because there is a great philosopher which has had a vision about "true beauty" or "the best possible outfit", but because the companies want you to feel old-fashioned and ugly in your old clothes, even if they are still in a good shape.
But this is not all, this is even ridiculously unimportant compared to its other functions. Innovative people on the energy technology market get to know the darkest side of media when they realize that their inventions are just ignored or turned into ridicule, because it would reduce someone else's profit (e.g. the big car industry). The industry which is already existing is defeating every new competitor by denouncing inventions and their inventors.
And this is the part when ALL of us come into the game; When we listen to the (mass) media and we do not question what they preach to us, then we automatically accept their information as truth and even defeat those mentioned inventors ourselves. We are taking part in the propaganda machine every day, when we judge someone or something because we heard negative things about it in the media, without further examination of the subject.
In the end, "your" worldview is seeded by the media first, so that you feel really bad if someone gives you contrary information. Just imagine a guard who is standing in front of fort knox for 30 years, giving his best to defeat this precious place. If you would tell him; "Hey, there is no more gold in fort knox, why are you standing there?" he will automatically defeat your point, because otherwise he would have to admit that 30 years of work have been completely useless. And it's really hard to admit such a mistake, driving the guard into mental defense.
A lot of people are defeating such empty treasure chests and it takes a lot of work to convince them to change their point of view. When you might laugh about people with overweight, uncommon worldviews, people who are acting/looking/thinking different from the masses then you are already part of the metabolism which has captured our modern world's society. The media itself will provide you with the weapons to shoot at their enemies, but actually you don't have to pull the trigger. Don't be afraid of strange people, especially when they do NOT support the viewpoint of the masses, because the viewpoint of the masses is always the viewpoint which you shall have yourself. Fashion and worldviews do not come into existance randomly, most of them are induced into society like an injection at the doctor's place.
Always think about interests. Who profits from your intellectual murder if you follow the advise of the capitalistic media system, shooting on people who have contrary viewpoints? Start questioning things, contrary to what you have learned at school, when you just stupidly had to rephrase your teacher's words, accept his/her authority, instead of using your own mind, practising constructive thinking, alternative solutions in math or other interpretations of poetry and literature apart from those which your teacher has presented you as the "truth". I respect and tolerate every teacher who supports this autonomous and critical thinking and who does not expect his/her pupils to believe everything she/he teaches. And this is leading me to the next point:
Stop relying on experts. Keep in mind that they are also part of the capitalistically corrupted system. Many experts are working for the industry, e.g. the pharma industry supports the universities financially to get influence on the department. "Kindly providing" them with neutral information about science and ways to treat every sick person with their great medicine. So stop relying on experts, unless you know their background so that you are able to measure if you can really trust them. Their economically interest highly distorts the truth, many of them would lose their jobs if they spoke critically about their company/ideology. So be brave, learn to trust your own logical thinking, "do the math" (test information/numbers by simple logic). Be aware that in the age of Internet EVERYONE can become an expert, if he is interested and motivated to study a certain topic.
In cases of this enduring economical crisis, induced rebellions (Ukraine), wars and other strange events politicians are acting absolutely absurd. How can the USA lead wars against so many country without getting any penalties, when on the other side Russia is being excluded from the "G8" just because they were not willing to give up their military base and their cultural roots. The national referendum for the Crimean people was the most democratic way which could have been choosen. No war, no victims, no blood at all. Is that really a reason to transform politicians into such bad actors which are trying to sell this as a scandal to us? I don't think so. And I think their artificial negative excitement about Russia is absolutely ridiculous. So many years of peace and diplomacy between Russia and Europe/the states now played down because of such a triteness? Well, I'd like to over-think this on your own, just be aware that if you do not care about global (or local) politics, if you do not care about our government's decisions etc. , the media just got you exactly where they wanted you to be.
Today I want to encourage you to move your mind away from this propaganda machine and to turn yourself to a critical thinking, questioning the lies of the mass media and to be willing to change your innermost perception of this world. Because if you don't, time itself will do that for you, time with a bitter taste and hate, instead of knowledge and understanding. Don't wait for a crisis to take away from you what you have achieved in hard work over the years. React now, get your money from your bank and buy something that is not going to zero when the system brakes down. The most tongue-biting fact is, that big companies and banks are already transfering all their money into goods. After the crisis they will be even more powerful. Small companies will not survive the crisis, but the global players will prosper from the crisis. (Which is not surprising, concerning those many sources which claim that they are letting the system crash on purpose. Just help yourself and do some serious research here, it's astonishing. A simple mechanism to take away from the masses and to give to the powerful).
Also be well-aware that the Internet is still a young child, which soon will become an adult, unwilling to be open, free and independent. Censorship, limited access and a general cooptation of the world is not as far from the Western world as we might think. If we do not spread messages like this (article)now, who will be able to warn the world later? The future of the Internet is unsure, undefined and it is a powerful tool which is a thorn in the eyes of the powerful, because more and more fact are revealed to the public, especially in the economical field and the global monetary system. If we hear about all those secret meetings of the "important" people worldwide, we should really wonder why these things cannot be addressed in public. Some years ago I read a book by Knigge who had be part of some secret societies (check at wikipedia, if you want). He wrote something really interesting in one of his books: "Everything which is honourable and good can be spoken out loudly. No sound idea needs to be hidden in the dark."
Many politicians are part of this darkness and those who are not willing to join them or to give up their fight against them are vilified in the media so that the people wants them to give up their position. The nuclear catastrophy of Fukushima opened my eyes some years ago; Even if politicians want to tell the truth, they are FORCED to lie often. Simply imagine what would have happened if the Japanese politicians had told the people that the amount of radiation has been WAY to high, so that whole cities would have been evacuated. A mass panic would be the result of such an honest political act. So the government was forced to lie about the radiation, because they had to choose the best outcome of the situation. Same things are happening now with the economical crisis worldwide. Politicians are forced to lie, because they cannot risk a massive bank run and all the chaos resulting from it. But the fact is, that the whole world is bankrupt. There is no way out of this desaster and everyone will suffer from this. (Except from those who have known about the future and who have taken appropriate actions to minimize their personal loss.) So please do not wait for politicians to take your hand, telling you about the truth. This will never happen. Act now, inform yourself what you can do to minimize your loss, similar to those big companies worldwide. Now that we are chronically BEFORE the breakdown, it is easy to keep one's worldview, thinking that everything will stay the same as before. And it is easy to think of me as a paranoid, or a complete pessimist. If you want to think that. But AFTER the breakdown, regret will be useless. Of course you can start thinking about an umbrella when you are already standing in the rain, but I doubt that that is a wise decision. I prefer to first consider the catastrophy, and then to get into it (or even avoiding it completely). Don't hunt the critical thinkers of this world as other societies have done it in the past - accept the thought that the world is controlled by the banks and economy, not by politicians which are creating the illusion of a democratic world, in which the people, the masses determine the course and the aims of government. When we elect politicians who have no responsibility for what they promise to us before the election, which are much less powerful than the global players, companies who can blackmail a whole state with their immense influence, then we are no longer living in democracy! And yes, I know what you might think now: "I cannot change this system and I have other things to think about wich affect me much more than this."
- Yes, we won't easily change this system, but that is not the point; the point is yourself. An honourable unwillingness to believe what they want you to believe, an unwillingness which stops you from running into a war as a soldier, just because your government has invented a myth (e.g. weapons of mass destruction in Iran to get the oil, destroying the world trade center to have a reason to lead wars/get more oil, creating/supporting terrorism to have an excuse for stronger controls of people, observing every honest citizen who might threaten the structure of the powerful), a myth to make you kill other innocent people which have as little fault to the situation as yourself, which have never harmed you before. Of course there can be a justified war! - Defeating the global bank mafia or the private brainstew media, but as these scenarios have no economical driving force, no company backing them up financially, these events are hardly realistically and thus quite unprobable to happen. Just don't do what you are told, use your potential, don't be part of the elite system; neither actively nor passively. And don't just blame politicians, they are left without a big choice nowadays. Many have spoken the truth, but their words remained unheard, or they have been distorted, because the filter of mass media censorship won't tell you any critical word. Think about John F. Kennedy who was shot for he was determined to fight the corrupted structures of modern day "democracy". Listen to his speeches and you easily understand why he was shot.
If we all do our part spreading the truth all over the world, we can mobilise many people. We have to use the chances of a free Internet to spread this message NOW, before we have a censorship as elsewhere in the world. Keep your eyes open for alternative media sources which provide you with a much wider range of facts, not just always reporting the same propaganda again and again. This is a resistance which starts on your mind; be unwilling, be critical, be sand in the system.
When I think about capitalism in the world I see that companies do everything for the sake of money, selling their products. That should not surprise anyone and nobody really trusts in all the lies of modern television advertisement. But when we apply this thought on the mass media things might not be that obvious to everybody.
Thoughts Of Recent Interest by Thinking-SilenceWatch
But the vast majority of people will live a routine and mediocre life of work, sleep, and hoping against all odds for a life changing win on the lottery. Yes, the media will throw all they have at them, trying to sell us shit we don't need, but at the end of the day those people have a choice: buy the latest iphone / don't buy the latest iphone. Watch vapid celebrity trash on TV / don't watch vapid celebrity trash on TV. Have Botox injections in your lips / don't have Botox injections in your lips. Go to the pub every Friday night and drink yourself into a coma / don't go to the pub...you get the picture. It is not for anyone but ourselves to decide how we live our lives. If someone is weak minded enough to be sucked in to trying to buy the perfect life then they're probably not strong minded enough to do anything about it. But who is to say they are not happy in there own way. If that is their idea of a fulfilling life then just let them get on with it.
I agree with virtually all that you say, but when you have human freewill to contend with you're not going to change anything. We're living in a shallow, celebrity worshipping, hedonistic, materialistic, look at me, must have it now, disposable, society. These traits have become the norm. If you're not a part of this culture then you're some kind of weird social pariah. If you don't document your 'awesome' life hourly on Twitter you're an outcast. If you don't have at least five million followers on Facebook then you're a nobody. But it doesn't matter one bit if this makes you sad, angry or frustrated because it will always be this way; perhaps even get worse. People are what they are. The best you can do is be who YOU want to be and screw the rest. Don't waste valuable time trying to change the world, just get out there and do what makes you feel good; within the bounds of public decency of course.
Be happy.
And thanks for your comment.
The story of the money flow (due to certain ways of dealing with money) is one of my favourite.
I am sure that people have been like that all time in history. I agree with what you say about it.
I especially like your last paragraph, how you describe normality nowadays.
I think this article was written more for people like you, who are already interested in these matters.
I enjoy writing/reading about this topic very much.
If anyone gets a little more aware/reflective in his life, this article has been successful. I just think I had to share my thoughts with the world, what happens afterwards is a little like fishing.
You sound like you're where I was at a couple of years ago. I thought my head would explode with all the crap that life is saddled with these days. But then I realised I don't have to be like the rest. I really don't give a shit if people think I'm weird just because I choose not to conform to the stereotypes demanded by society. Don't get me wrong, I'm as guilty as the next man for coveting certain material items; I've just bought a shiny new Canon EOS 7D, but photography is my great passion so I can justify that in my own mind. If it was a diamante watch then...maybe not.
I was lucky enough to be able to move to a beautiful part of the country and find a good job and a nice home. I work hard and try to make the best of my free time, avoiding the rat race wherever I can. There are places so special here that I can completely leave the rest of the world behind and find the euphoria that only nature can bring. It can't be bottled and sold so stick that up your arse capitalists.
I hope you find your special place soon and leave the rest to get on with it. You'll never change them.
Yes, life is a bit like fishing, or if you're a fan of Forrest Gump, like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Story with the camera sounds familiar.
I am glad that most precious things in life cannot be bought at all.
Hope you are not too lonely in your alternative life. Good to have some fellows around
What is your opinion on the football world cup, will you ignore it completely, like I do?
Well, even if all these things are concerning me, I know that I will go my own way in life, without strangers selling things to me that I do not need.
I myself have discovered some nice places around here, too.
They are just priceless and sitting in the garden at home and reading a good book is so relaxing and financially affordable
Well, when you say: "You'll never change them." then I must answer that "them" I will never change indeed, but some people are still in the process of escaping the machine mentally and psychologically. Maybe I help them a little to take the right decisions. The mountains will stand unchanged, but single stones for sure will be moved.
PS: If you are interested in talking with me furthermore, I'd like to add you on my skype list. (If you can afford some time) I like to study the English language and talking to an Englishman is a great deal to me! If you are too busy, I will understand.
Sounds like we have much in common.
I am never lonely when nature is around me. The wildlife makes no demands on me yet gives so freely. I also have a partner to share the times when I can't be out in the wilds and she is of much the same way of thinking about life, so again I am very lucky. She would rather bury her head in a book about Tudor history than be browsing the high street shops for unnecessary bling.
I will watch some of the world cup games; I enjoy football when it is pure and hard fought, but the moment the overpaid ballerinas start diving at the slightest touch I will switch off.
I admire your determination to influence people for the good. I'm too old and cynical to bother trying anymore. Some of those single stones are pretty damn stubborn too. Good luck with that.
I'm so misanthropic that I don't do Skype, or any other social medium to be honest. I report sightings to a local bird watching blog and post photos on DA - that's about the extent of my social interaction. If you want to send me a note through DA with an email address I'm happy to exchange words now and then but I must warn you, I work long hours and try to be outdoors as often as possible when not working so I'm unlikely to be a prolific writer.
Best regards.
P.S. Even though you don't like football could you please promise not to beat us on penalties this tournament.
I am prone to say that: Trees neither want me to buy something, nor they want me to do something specific. So they are great comfort.
- Glad to hear you have someone to share your life with!
"local bird watching blog" sounds very interesting. I was just browsing through your gallery, looks like there is a great variety of birds at your place.
(I'd like to visit that blog, if you could provide me with a link!)
I will send you my email-address. Trying to talk sometimes or rarely, is better than not talking at all. (Basically there is nothing to lose in such a bet).
I myself try to minimize my Internet usage as much as possible; virtually, I do not exist at many places and try to get some fresh air instead.
The good thing about writing emails is to have plenty of time to answer them at any appropriate time.
About football and the ballerinas; Basically you say you enjoy football itself and not all the nonsense surrounding it, I guess.
I am not sure I can promise such a thing, but I hope the English team sticks to fair playing at least as much as the Germans.
Of course, we won't endanger the English reputation at the world cup
Unfortunately I have to go and do some of those long working hours tonight so I'll be signing off for now. You have my word that I will drop you an email in the very near future and we can put the world to rights or share some more philosophies.
Not sure England has a world cup reputation to endanger, but thanks for the sentiment. Last time we won it everything was in black and white. Now you've simply got to go out and buy the latest 62 inch, high definition, OLED, curved screen, android, surround sound, interactive, blah, blah, blah, blah, TV. Sadly many will. Poor misguided souls. But like I said, their choice, not my place to condemn.
Speak soon.
Well, I guess I am not typically German, I do not have much in common with those living in this country here!
(Or both of us are just not typically 'human' which is even better!)
Maybe you should take away the colours from your TV then, it might help!
" the latest 62 inch, high definition, OLED, curved screen, android, surround sound, interactive, blah, blah, blah, blah, TV. "
Already quite dated - you missed the 3D feature and the ambilight (except you included them in the "blah, blah, blah" part which ironically sounds like the rest of the features!)
(Hope I am not loosing any watchers because of this statement!)
In the UK, democracy is in a sorry state. Yet there is also an internet based organisation called "38 Degrees". [Accumulate sand, or any granular material, and the pile's footprint (influence) spreads when the surface slope gets to about 38°.] It has proven to be a realistic force, with many successful lobbyings under its belt. I believe a recent questionnaire about why young people don't vote, amassed nearly 3 million replies; not bad among 30 million voters. They tend to lobby on 3 or 4 issues a year. The convener of the organisation was recently summmoned by a Parliament Select Committee to report their findings. Remember, this is not an "organisation". It is purely funded by member's (small) donations. These are only ordinary people, each expressing their opinion; something only made possible by the internet.
How are you?
I think I'd like to get into conversation with you, again. Simply, by answering your comments in detail over time.
I am glad that there are people who work for the common interest, without any immediate profit for themselves. In the end everyone will profit from such movements.
I think I should check out the "38 Degrees" project, sounds like a really good idea, especially when the parliament gives them a chance to speak!
Crowdfunding seems to be one of the rare methods to offer something with common interest, without becoming a companie's/rich man's servant (being free of advertising and economical sponsoring).
Thanks for thinking of me. I am not capable of much at the moment and only have my computer on a few times a week. (Spend more time in the garden at the moment.) So please don't take any lack of reply the wrong way, its just not a good time at the moment, I'm afraid.
I know that adults (if I exclude myself from this term!) are always busy, that is alright!
Hope everything goes well for you!
Your point about "do the math" is great. I stopped watching the news or reading about current affairs many years ago, for similar reasons to you, I think. I noticed that every situation reported turned out to have a more complex back-story. Mostly, only the "first flush" was reported and you had to search quite hard to find out what really happened. Even then, I don't believe the real story can be told in words, to those without direct connection to the situation. Undercurrents, feelings, unspoken assumptions, hopes and fears affect all of us and permeate everything we do. Making these explicit gives them too much prominence, while leaving them unspoken fosters different misconceptions.
I came to the conclusion that "the trueness of things" is inherently fluid and difficult to pin down, in a similar way to the inherent inability to pin down an electron's position and momentum: make one explicit precludes knowing the other. So what can we do? We can "do the math". I called it, "maintaining a sense of proportion". It does take effort to put something in persective, assessing probabilities taking the context, background and history into account.
Thanks for your comments, I am glad that there are other people "out there" who can understand what I mean. Oh, yes the text has not been structured at all. I found myself writing down random thoughts, partly connected to each other, then yesterday I just typed them down. The "anger and frustration" is an idea that if I inform people now about the crisis, they either make fun of it or they resignate, saying: "I cannot do anything about it." But when the crisis is ahead, when people can "feel" it personally, they feel betrayed and complaining: "Why did nobody tell me about all this?". Now when they had someone who told them about the whole thing, they can either regret that they did not act accordingly to the given information or they polarize their negative feelings on others.
Your replies are really interesting, I will reflect over them. I have to admit that "doing the math" is not my own invention/idea. About a year ago I have read Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast And Slow". You definitely have to read this brilliant work, if you have not already done that! He also talks about the limits and prejudices of statistic analysis, irrational thinking fallacies and the basic principles of acting spontaneously and acting reflective.
I hope you are well-prepared for the crisis, which also enables you/us to help others. I really wish more people would prepare themselves for the crisis, then the whole break-down would not be that extreme. I studied an official Austrian military report (www.bundesheer.at) about the dangers of an electrical black out (lasting longer than one or two weeks). On the one hand it's a little relaxing that such forces are reflecting on such topics so that they know how to act, but on the other hand the report was really serious, revealing how fragile and vulnerable the whole energy system is. And the main point why I talk about this report is that the author wrote that "if many people are prepared for such an event, we can use the technical emergency service and the army much more efficiently. Instead of helping EVERYWHERE at the same time, wasting a majority of ressources, they could concentrate on the most dangerous areas then."
I find it shocking that even if our governments were willing to tell us in the media about preparing ourselves, they would cause a mass panic, which is much worse, which might be the trigger of the crisis itself.
Also I ask myself how the debt-system affects the future generations. I wonder if it's better to have a break-down NOW than having it in a few years, because the sum of debt will accumulate more and more and the burden will become unbearable. The future looks very dark, I am glad I am a convinced Christian who has more important things in life than money, success etc. - Due to the book of revelations in the bible christians (who still believe the bible) are prone to expect the demise of the system. Still we have hope and we can trust that in the end, other things will determine what is important and what is chasing rainbows.
I seriously cannot understand how a majority of people can be part of consumerism without clearly recognizing that "If I had.... I'd be satisfied." is not working at all. Once I started transforming the prize of a good into working hours, and it's absurd - who is willing to work a whole month just to buy an iPhone? I still have an old Siemens A55 mobile phone and nobody will ever sell a smartphone to me, because I never needed one and I will also never need one in the future. The principles of PR are very interesting to me. I read two books written by Edward Bernay which explain the whole PR (former "propaganda", but rephrased due to the negative sound, now "public relations" ...) mechanisms in detail. It's so simple but it works perfectly ?!
Also when I look at the streets I see people spamming themselves with entertainment the whole day. Smartphone, MP3-player, iPad, television etc. etc. - They might reduce their reflective time to those last five minutes before they go to bed, they are constantly feeded with information/ stimuli, they never learned how to analyse a situation/behaviour accurately, they do not question their own useage of free-time, they just want to live, to enjoy life - and yes, that's alright, but it's not enough to reflect on the whole year once at new years party. I often see people as ants, the streets are vivid and moving, filled with traffic and people who are in a hurry. The same goes for the ants, but the ants have a plan. They have a concept, they have clear tasks to solve, whereas many human beings start running before they even know where they want to go. 30 years of work can be in vain, when we don't reflect how to spend the money wisely. I once found a great quote on the free Internet:
"No wind favors him who has no destined port."
(Michel de Montaigne, 1533-1592)

My phone was rooted and as such I used Odin to go back to stock and add a custom recovery later, which I used to install the update .zip file and SuperSU. I let everything load r and it went totally normally with the exception of two things: it ran no initial setup program and instead booted directly to the home screen (but this caused no issues) and also every time I view the home screen a grey text box appears with yellow text that displays phone stats like PDA, Phone, CSC, H/W, and such. How do I remove this?

Halllooo my minions of yaoi!! :} Hope you are all doing good and reading/watching plently of the golden smutty treasure ;] bwha!
Okay chapter 4; umm... yeah... bascailly i've been lazy -__-" and so im really sorry to all those who are waiting paitently and also those who have been begging me to hurry up. BUT and i mean a BIG BUT, i am over half way writing chapter 4; this chapter has some quite important plot building in it along with a pretty sexy bondage scene so its taken me longer that i thought it would~
Chapter 4 is called; Fiancée or Soul mate? and it's got LEMON in it ((along with Lime)) and theres an interessting person in Ciel's life who come in at the end of this chapter... after the smutt ;] bwhahahahahhaha!!!
I have to admit it does amuse me when quite a few of people say: Chiri how can you wirte lemon... so detailed... and freely... and not get embarressed!!! O.o
Haha well basically;
- I was born with a natural inner perv
- I understand how yaoi works; sex, feelings towards each other etcc~
- I have read sooooo much lemon/lime yaoi that i'm just used to reading the smut, so i find it just as easy to write it
- I write like all of the time
- I plan my FanFiction daily... so if im sitting at the at the bus stop or eating a cookie... im probably planning yaoi ;]
- I'm not against, i'm for homosexuals/Bisexuals/Lesbians so its not awkward for me to write it ((and it shouldn't be either, i believe that if you love someone, same sex or not then you should feel free to express it! ))
- I have a sadistic and kinky side of me so i can right lots of different kinds of lemon smutt; cute, sexy, kinky, passionate, a quick fuck etc~
... hope that answered it lol It just sorta comes naturally... which is quite worrying how i know about male relationships.
Umm just a little thing, i haven't had any so far ((so to those who don't like it but haven't said anything, thank you)) but please; if you don't like yaoi, lemon, lime or the thought of a girl writing this stuff or even the thought of anyone wirting it, please don't send and negatives or abusive comments.
Arigatou gozanimasu!
Chiri: YAOI!!! Mwahhahahaha-
Alois: *pouts and crosses arms* Hmfpt! come on Chiri stop laughing evily, I WANT ciel in my pants... but i can't if you don't write it!!
Chiri: Oh eh *clears throat* ...sorry Alois *feels ashamed*
Alois: Yesh, yesh you should be! And thats Earl Trancy to you~ ;]
Ciel: Alois please...
Alois: ...fuck me? OKAY! *picks ciel up*
Ciel: N-no no wait thats not what i mean!!
Chiri: *trying not to get a nosebleed* Hey hey hey you guys keep it PG 13 ((secertly wants to watch)) and i'm the one who controls when you two have hot yaoi man sex!!!
Alois: Come on now ciel~ your not going to let some GIRL tell us what to do!
Chiri: Hey im older than you! Respect you're elders!
Alois *put ciel down and walks over* Yeah but im taller than you, hehe :3 ((he actually is! -__-" i'm Ciel's height... [[which rocks for when im cosplaying as him!!!]]))
Chiri: *scowls* I don't need to be complained at by some barely dressed, under-aged...
Ciel: ...don't forget sex driven...
Alois: Oh you know i am ciel ;] *sticks tougne out out Chiri*
Chiri: *pouts* ... i have FanFiction to write!!!
Ciel: Then i advise that you go and write it before i order Sebastian to distroy you're yaoi...
Chiri: YOU WOULDN'T!!!!
Ciel: Oh Sebas-...
Chiri: OKAY OKAY!! *Starts typing vigerously at my laptop*
Ciel: *rolls eyes* ...fangirls...
Alois: hehe Ciel, you're such a naughty boy~
So basically chapter 4 should be up soon.... hopefully
It's been like 5 years Damn girl.
this was before one year.. and it's still not done.. so please, now you're busy, but when the summer vacation comes, ( i'm going to count the HOURS !!! ) pleeeeaaasee write it .. i hope you're not busy then too ..

HI --- I'm looking for gloryhole stories ---- and locations in the bay area. Experienced so many over the years, but nothing recently.
Re: storiesWed, September 6, 2006 - 6:15 AMonce when i was in the navy back in 82. We pulled into ft lauderdale. I was on the u.s.s independence. As you walked out from the landing there was a street with two adult bookstores and a gay bar in the middle. I went into one of the bookstores to watch a movie and there was a large large glory hole in the booth large enough to crawl through I started my movie and an older man i was 22 at the time and this guy must have been 70 and wizen
came wisking through the hole. He was on me like a grey panther. sucking on my young sailor needy manrod then he unzipped his own. He was grimy i remember thinking he might be a street person. He put his granddaddy hand firmly on my neck and firmly pushed me towards his unzippable pants. When i did this gnarly monster of an uncut cock flopped out oozing granddaddy dew. He said suck it sailor. I complied it tasted like he hadn't washed in a week and he rammed the big thing into my young hapless throat choking me with his manmeat. Finally he shot off the bitterest cum i have ever had splash across my tonsils. He must have lived on aspergus and bloodpressure meds..i dunno..I remember however, the delicous level of sexual fevor because i was still partially closeted and just
low end horror chills. He turned when he finished and went back out the hole. I think i swallowed.
Re: storiesFri, September 8, 2006 - 12:37 PMSounds pretty hot T.F.!
Re: storiesSat, November 3, 2007 - 10:04 PMMy First Gloryhole BJ - Adultworld in modesto California, '78 or early '79:
The seemingly disembodied penis dangled through the hole, semi-hard In the dim flicker of the movie screen. My heart was about to burst through my chest. For the first time in my life I was kneeling in front of a cock.
I reached out and grasped another man's cock, around the base. I felt his coarse pubic bush and the plywood rim of the hole against the back of my hand.
I knew that somewhere in my soul I had to want this, or I wouldn't have come this far, I would have selected another booth to masturbate in, one that didn't have holes in the walls.
My cock cast its own vote, growing hard as steel in my cut- off jeans. Telling myself not to think too much, I leaned forward.
The cockhead was just beneath my nose, animal musk, much richer than female smell filled my nose. Male smell.
My cock, his cock, both throbbed. I felt his pulse in my hand. I traced the veins with my fingertips. I stroked him, brought my fingers up the length of his shaft and encircled the head.
I opened my mouth. I kissed a penis for the first time. I ran my tongue through my lips and swabbed the tip. Hot, soft, rubbery-hard, salty, sticky-slick.
I opened my mouth further and allowed my fingers to slide part way back, down his shaft. Oh those veins again!
My mouth enveloped the head. My tongue quite naturally found the sensitive glans beneath. I gently sucked and lapped my tongue back and forth and side to side, playing with the tiny flesh nubbin there.
His involuntary shiver was a reward, as was the ooze of precum. I heard a gasp from the other side of the wall.
I began to bob and nod my head slightly. Slowly. Gently. I began to take more of him in my mouth. Immediately I was having trouble opening my mouth far enough and avoiding scraping his cock with my teeth... Do I have a small mouth? Is my first cock that big?
I strained to open wide and suck at the same time, it seemed like such a contradiction.
As his smell had filled my nose, now his taste filled my mouth. I was immersed in man sex. I kept my tongue busy around the head now, as well as revisiting the glans often.
He had thrust through the hole and the cock bashed into the back of my mouth. I gagged and teared up but I did not pull off the cock, instead I repositioned my fingers to limit how far he could thrust again.
I felt tears streaming down my cheeks, and a mix of saliva and dribbling from my mouth.
The rawness of this sex was like nothing I had ever experienced before, animalistic and anonymous pleasure. Even with female hookers there was a ritual of feinged friendliness. Not so here.
No, I was sucking a cock through a hole in the wall, a 'Glory Hole'. It could be my best friend, or Mr. Brown from next door. Hell, potentially any man in town could be over there sticking his cock through for me to service!
I was gagging more, my inexperienced mouth was getting tired and sore. But I felt his urgency, the pulse in his veins as his cock seemed to stiffen
and grow a little more.
"Oh yessssss," I heard him hiss with pleasure, and the throbbing organ in my mouth helped me to forget for a moment the ache in my jaws, and I allowed
more cock in. I stifled my gag reflex temporarily and his fleshy hot head socketed into my throat. That cut off my air but I was determined to hold
out as long as I could and I bucked my head.
The dick slipped into my throat a little. I gagged, choked, but didn't pull off. I felt a surge in the penis shaft in my hand and I had to pull back just a little, I was glad I did because I got a mouthful of hot semen delivered in two or three explosions of taste and sensation.
I savored the moment, so new and wonderful, his cum didn't taste quite like my own but it felt the same, had the same consistency, though there was more of it since I couldn't blow myself nor could I scoop it all up when I masturbated!
But as soon as he dumped his load he started to pull away. I was allowed a couple of last quick licks as he withdrew to his side of the wall. I heard him zipping and buckling up, and the creak of his door, and briefly considered meeting him in the hallway outside the booths, but I quickly had an attack of shyness and decided to wait until I was reasonably sure he had left.
My mouth and throat felt full of goo. It was an odd but delightful sensation, like I couldn't clear my throat completely. I wiped my face with the back of my hand and considered masturbating, then i realized I was out of tokens. The door-shaker guy would be past any time now probably, best be going I told myself as I got up and staggered and sprinted out of the bookstore.
In the days to follow as I walked through the mall or the grocery store I would find myself looking at men and wondering, did I suck his dick?
Re: storiesThu, March 4, 2010 - 4:29 PMVery hot story, thanks.
Re: storiesThu, March 4, 2010 - 9:21 PMoh so hot

What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
LeBron James and the Miami Heat are NBA champions.
The title certainly gives James confirmation that he made the right choice to leave the Cavaliers to sign with the Heat two offseasons ago.
Now, that he has his championship, James figures to be lifted along some of the NBA's all-time greats, right? Well, former Blazer Clyde Drexler wondered to the Associated Press' Jim Litke if James will ever get his due praise.
Like James, Drexler came up short several times in the postseason in Portland, then moved to Houston alongside Hakeem Olajuwon and won his only championship.
"I'm one of those guys who says you can't view team sports the same way you view individual sports. If he gets you 30-plus points, 10 rebounds a night and I'm his teammate and I miss two free throws at the end of the night, is he a great player or not? And does he have to rely on other people for that judgment," Drexler said, without waiting for an answer. "No.
"The guy has an unbelievable résumé, he's the most unselfish, hard-working guy on the court and if you're a fan of the game, you can't help but love the way the guy plays the game. …
"I know what Michael (Jordan) said about playing against your rivals instead of with them. But when I got to Houston and started playing with Hakeem, frankly, I needed a lighter load. I knew I wouldn't have to work as hard.
"With LeBron, the expectations were outsized once he said he was going to Miami," Drexler said finally. "He met those once. We'll find out how much he's got left."
Ichiro Suzuki recorded his 2,500th career hit earlier this week. When asked if he had an eye on 3,000 hits, Ichiro responded that was a dumb question.
OK, then, here are two more questions we hope aren't so dumb.
Question No. 1: Can he get there?
Sure, if he plays long enough. Ichiro is 38, but his batting average has dipped from .352 to .315 to. 272 to .264 in the past four seasons.
His streak of 10 consecutive seasons with 200 or more hits ended last year when he collected 184. He's on pace for 178 this season.
At that pace, he would reach 3,000 hits sometime during his age 41 season.
Question No. 2: If he reaches 3,000 hits, will it be as a Mariner?
Hmmm. Ichiro is in the final year of his contract, earning $17 million this season.
The Mariners are young and rebuilding, so it wouldn't make much sense for them to pay too much to an outfielder pushing 40.
So it comes down to how much the Mariners are willing to pay, and how little Ichiro is willing to take.

After San Diego Chargers OLB Melvin Ingram tore his ACL in offseason workouts last week, it was expected that he'd miss the duration of the 2013 NFL season; furthermore, his injury was the acute reason behind the club signing Dwight Freeney. However, it doesn't appear that the Chargers are giving up hope on the former first-rounder making a return at some point this season.
Could Ingram play in 2013?

China has confirmed that rising star Sun Zhengcai has been appointed Communist Party boss for the scandal-ridden southwestern city of Chongqing, taking the old job of disgraced Bo Xilai in the country's biggest metropolis.
As head of the sprawling Chongqing, left reeling in the wake of a corruption and murder scandal involving Bo, Sun will have to deal with the legacy of Bo, the former high-flyer at the centre of China's biggest political scandal in decades.
Sun's appointment was announced in a brief statement carried by the official Xinhua news agency on Tuesday.
Bo was fired in March following his wife's implication in a murder, and Chongqing had been run in the interim by Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang. Zhang was promoted last week to the party's inner core of power, the seven-man Politburo Standing Committee.
Reuters reported earlier this month that Sun, 49, a former agriculture minister and then party boss of the northeastern province of Jilin, had been tipped to get the job.
Sun is emblematic of younger officials of humbler backgrounds who stand apart from the refined, urban backgrounds of the likes of president-in-waiting Xi Jinping and other so-called princelings - the descendants of former senior revolutionary leaders.
Sun is an agricultural expert who once ran a fertiliser factory and spent much of his early professional life in a rural part of Beijing. He served as agriculture minister from 2006- 2009 after a surprisingly rapid promotion.
That set him up to take office in Jilin, the centre of China's corn belt, where he has backed increased trade and infrastructure investment in North Korea.
Sun came to the attention of Premier Wen Jiabao when he was the party secretary of Shunyi District in Beijing, a formerly agricultural and now rapidly industrialising area that is host to the capital city's airport.
The party has accused Bo of abuse of power, corruption and hampering the murder investigation of a British businessman because his wife was the suspect. She has since been jailed, though formal charges have yet to be filed against Bo.
Bo's expulsion from the party drew an outcry from his leftist supporters and highlighted the deep rifts his prosecution could inflame. Bo remains popular in Chongqing for his social programmes and city improvement efforts.
Another young official, Inner Mongolia party chief Hu Chunhua, had also been seen as a potential candidate to take over in Chongqing.
But sources with ties to the

The author of Lunatic Fringe has an interesting post on treating pre-psychosis. Psychosis risk syndrome, which is proposed for inclusion in DSM-V under the name of attenuated psychotic symptoms syndrome, is controversial. Far too many people would be identified as at risk for psychosis than those who would actually ever develop a psychotic disorder. See also the 27-40% cited at Lunatic Fringe: why should the other 60-73% receive any treatment at all? Besides, the treatment most logically provided for pre-psychosis – atypical antipsychotics -, has not proven to be effective, and has serious side effects. Fortunately, the DSM-V workgroup is considering including the controversial condition only in an appendix for research purposes, rather than in the main manual. It is hoped that further research will detect those genuinely at risk of psychosis and find effective and safe treatments – which may include psychotherapy – for these individuals.
Psychosis Risk Syndrome
September 8, 2010 by Astrid
One Response
The psychiatrist who diagnosed me as autistic did classify me as at risk for psychosis, which I'm not too happy about (also since I don't agree and could write an essay on the reasons), and not just because I don't agree.
Looking at the DSM list, I would be excluded from that Psychosis risk syndrome by just a little bit, but that doesn't really put me much at ease. Having someone try to push antipsychotic meds at me is not an idea I relish.

Leading from behind – Obama makes no new offer budget offer during Kabuki theater meeting with congressional leaders
So does anyone still have any doubts that going over the fiscal cliff is exactly what Obama wants? He gets the raise taxes on everyone (which will happen regardless of what happens with the fiscal cliff because of ObamaCare), and get massive defense cuts, leaving this country more vulnerable to terrorists. I say, give Obama what he wants. Sure, Republicans will get the blame (they always do), but if they take a bad deal, they's be blamed anyway when things went to sh*t. Obama with his little Kabuki theater meeting with congressional leaders today resulted in absolutely nothing. In fact, Obama didn't even offer a new budget deal at all!
BREAKING: Source says President Obama not making new budget offer today. (via @eamonjavers) Stocks drop on report.
— CNBC (@CNBC) December 28, 2012
Don't worry though. Obama has time go give pay raises to Joe Biden, Congress and other federal workers.
Even when the facts come out about Obama's failed leadership, the corrupt media STILL tries to shill for him.

Crimson Skies
It's the 1920s. The USA is gone, split into regional nation states and the militias formed to defend each region haven't stopped fighting each other. Roads, railways and bridges have been demolished, leading to airplanes and zeppelins replacing cars and trains. As the nations make war in the air, so too have air militias and air pirates taken to the skies to seek and steal fortunes. Nathan Zachary – your alter ego – is a Great War veteran and leader of the Fortune Hunters. You glide through the sky in your zeppelin, the Pandora, launching operations from it as you go. Thus we enter the world of Crimson Skies.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is – as you've probably guessed – an air combat game and focuses around several main gameplay elements; dogfighting, stealing planes, utilising anti-aircraft emplacements and robbing other zeppelins. The plot, which I won't spoil for you, takes you through various regions in which you launch mission from your mobile mothership, the Pandora. The game is open-ended, but keeps you on track as far as the storyline goes. When you reach a new region, you're allowed to explore it, stealing planes, racing fellow flyers and picking up missions as you go. Most of the time you can come back to the Pandora to repair your plane, and if not, garages provide a quick fix service for a charge. During missions, you're still allowed to interact with the environment; landing to man an AA gun or to repair your plane. AA guns are extremely useful when you're outnumbered or outgunned, allowing you to concentrate fire on enemy planes for a short period of time.
The planes themselves handle like the ships in Rogue Squadron games, with the left analogue stick used for climbing, diving and banking. The right stick rolls the aircraft and pressing down on the stick while in combination with the left stick results in special moves. These special moves are tight rolls, twists and turns which allow you to quickly get on top of the enemy planes in a dogfight. Planes come in three types; Dogfighters, Interceptors and Zep-Killers. Each covers a handful of planes with each type having distinct advantages and disadvantages. All planes can be upgraded in the Pandora for a price, that is if you manage to steal them and take them back there. The planes look great, obviously inspired by the Star Wars movies, various historic planes and of course, pirates. Arrrr! Ahem.
Dogfighting is relatively simple, as you'd imagine. Each plane has a primary weapon and a secondary weapon. The former is your main weapon and is usually a set of machine guns which have an infinite supply of ammunition – very useful. The latter usually starts off as missiles and can be upgraded to a more potent weapon, such as a Fireball Cannon or Rocket Swarm. They're as good as they sound. In addition to pointing your plane at enemy planes and pulling the trigger, there's a turbo function which when activated zooms your plane along as far as the fuel allows. Dogfights can last anywhere from five seconds to a minute, and that's when it's only one-on-one. Most missions see you in battles against five or more enemy planes at once so you'll need to check your 'six' constantly. Dogfighting is the core component of the gameplay and I'm pleased to report that it's damn good fun.
During your travels you'll visit around different regions, starting in the beautiful Sea Haven, a lush island settlement in the Nation of Hollywood. Arixo is next, run by Indians of the same name. A desert hangout for pirates, it consists of what used to be Arizona and New Mexico. Chicago, in the Industrial States of America is packed with shimmering skyscrapers, planes and elevated trains. Its narrow streets make flying a hair-raising experience to say the least. Finally, the Lost City is a mysterious abandoned settlement with a maze of tunnels and chambers. Although the level count is relatively low, the variety is excellent and the missions are a pleasing assortment of assault, defend and dogfight tasks.
Fighting A.I. planes is bound to get boring eventually, so the developers have included three multiplayer modes. Split screen allows up to four players to fight side by side on one TV, System Link lets you connect two Xboxes together and Xbox Live raises the bar to 16 player matches online. All three have the same gameplay modes; Dogfight, Team Dogfight, Flag Heist, Keep Away, Team Accumulate and Wild Chicken. The first three should be self-explanatory, while Keep Away and Team Accumulate sees individuals and teams respectively trying to hold onto an artifact for as long as possible. Wild Chicken has both teams fighting to kill – you guessed it – a chicken! It sounds mad, and indeed it is, but it adds a bit of spice to the otherwise unoriginal game modes.
Of course, unoriginal doesn't mean unenjoyable. Fighting against real people on Xbox Live has got to be one of the game's highlights, especially if you find a 16 player, lag free session. The usual features have been incorporated – voice communication, Quick Match, Optimatch, Create Game, Friends List, Stats, Download Content – with the usual seamless interface that we're seeing with all Live games these days. The variety of game modes and wealth of features makes online play what it should be – user-friendly and fun.
Graphically, Crimson Skies is impressive, with detailed planes shimmering in the morning sun, enemy aircraft exploding in arching clouds of smoke and debris. The scenery is beautifully done, each region having its own distinct atmosphere and landscape. Buildings are equally striking, especially in the Chicago level where the sun glints off each skyscraper with a distinct glare. Cutscenes are also extremely good and convey the singleplayer plot effectively. The game suffers no slowdown whatsoever and the framerate remains high throughout, even when the skies are swarming with planes. The audio is suitably themed, the dramatic score and decent sound effects complementing the action perfectly. All in all, Crimson Skies is one of the best presented titles out there, and that's no easy accomplishment.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is one of those games that does pretty much everything right but isn't really revolutionary in any way. However, the game mechanics are well thought out, the storyline is decent and dogfighting is great fun. Oh, and it's got pirates in. If you haven't got Xbox Live yet, then it's still worth your money for the singleplayer and the offline multiplayer modes alone. For Xbox Live owners though, it's really an essential purchase. At the end of the day, Crimson Skies' fast and furious gameplay, excellent graphics, top-notch presentation and lengthy lifespan make it a great all-round package and one of this winter's must-have games on Xbox.

I remember we went to some prime malls I think they were called which were better than the premium outlet mall. Are they still there and good?
Tink will be able to answer this but there is a whole newly rebuilt outlet mall area on I-Drive that has some really pricey & frou-frou stores in it. I can't remember what it is called now tho.
I get so confused when things change their names :unsure:
Premium Outlets are the ones closest to Disney.
Prime Outlets is the one at the end of I Drive and used to be called Belz.
It is MUCH nicer since they changed it.
There is also one, Lake Buena Vista Outlets on 535. It's a hit or miss proposition there.
Prime Outlets are mostly high end shops. Brooks Brothers had a blazer I loved until I saw the $500 price tag! :eek:
Premium is the one closest to DTD/WDW. It's on the same road as Mary, Queen of the Universe Shrine.
The Shrine is a nice place to stop by itself. It's incredibly peaceful and has a lovely shop. Granted it's nearly all religious in nature (in the shop) but it's still very pretty. I'm fascinated by the place as it was built completely with tourist dollars. Quite an accomplishment, I'd say.
The "outlets" aren't quite the deal they used to be, are they?
Not at all. I've never been a huge fan of Premium, and Prime is just wicked expensive. The Lake Buena Vista one is so hit or miss, I can't tell you the last time we were there. :shrug:
Is there any such thing as a true outlet mall any more at all? :unsure:
I don't think so. You used to be able to get amazing deals but now it's just a small discount (if that) on what you'd get at the regular store or online. Now the Disney outlets have some great deals. I have seen things in the outlet for half price that are still in the parks for full price. I also got the Epcot/F&WF cookbook for $11 last weekend.
The Betsey Johnson store does have some amazing deals. Alysia LOVES that place. She was able to get 2 dresses for the price of one. Of course, I have found that Ebay is my friend with BJ stuff.
We've been to the one on 535 a couple of times but nothing is there so we don't even bother to stop anymore.
I used to LOVE Betsey Johnson! :yes: When she first started she was so radical, and different. It was pure irreverence just to wear her clothes. :D I could actually afford them back then too. Krizia too.
Auld lang syne. :lol:

We hit the WDW outlet at the St. Augustine mall & I got some good stuff but we were going to hit the I-Drive one on our way out of town but with Paige sick we couldn't do that to her & stop. I would have bought that cookbook even tho I don't cook! :D

Officials representing Columbiana County and the city of Columbiana are looking at their options in a foreclosure action at Fire-stone Farms.
County Treasurer Nick Barborak said Monday that Firestone Farms, doing business as Meadowbrooke Development, owes the county about $800,000 in back taxes.
Keith Chamberlin, Columbiana's manager, said the city had put about $5 million into water service for the properties that included several miles of pipes and a lift station at the upscale housing development. He said he hadn't researched the city's options for recovering any of the $5 million. Meadowbrooke Development had put in sewers in the development, Chamberlin said.
PNC Bank earlier this month filed an action to recover $7.7 million from Meadowbrooke Development, run by developer Wayne Bacon. The bank foreclosed on the property in 1999.
Parts of the properties are not involved in the case, such as the golf course and the banquet center.
Barborak said Bacon had made two tax payments, each for $233,635, and then stopped.
Barborak said that the good news is that the county taxes on the property will be taken off the top of any sale of the property.
"We get paid first," he said. "We're first in line."
Barkorak said he believes that PNC bank is looking for a buyer for the property.
Tad Herold, an assistant prosecutor with the Columbiana County prosecutor's office, did not return calls seeking comment on the county's legal options.

Treat your loved ones to an intimate 3 course meal and relax beneath the sumptuous low lighting created by our designer chandelier and surround yourself in our glamorous patchwork furnishings. A solid wood table provides the perfect centerpiece for catch up, gossip and reminiscing.
Discreetly tucked away, you can indulge from the full modern and predominantly British menus available in our Eaterie, or ask in advance and we can create a special menu just for your guests.
Our Green Room can accommodate up to 16 guests for a seated Lunch, Dinner or even a ladies Luxury Afternoon Tea.
