Grieving father lashes out at judge, jury, man acquitted of killing deputy
The father said he was particularly upset with Eyre's decision not to allow Ryan Greathouse's written police statement to be admitted as evidence in the trial for jurors to see. Roman's defense objected, calling it hearsay. Because Greathouse was dead, he couldn't be cross-examined. The judge ruled that only parts of the statement, including the information about drug use, could be included.
"The one decision that had the biggest impact on the trial was the exclusion of all of Ryan's sworn written statements, except those parts that benefited the real murderer. Judge Eyre was wrong in every sense and shouldn't have suppressed it when there was no legal justification for that decision," Russell Greathouse said. "The defendant himself introduced his version of Ryan's statement at the trial. By doing so he waived his confrontation rights and opened the door for Ryan's entire statement to come in, but Judge Eyre ridiculously rejected Ryan's actual statement without justification and once again propped up the defense and left the state without recourse."
In addition, Greathouse strongly criticized the judge for a determination he made before the trial that Roman was "mentally retarded" and therefore ineligible for the death penalty.
He accused Eyre of being "spellbound" to defense attorneys.
"Roman made an idiot out of Judge Eyre and played him for a fool," Greathouse wrote. "Roman's acquittal makes us wonder if being deemed mentally retarded (is) a trait to aspire to."
The father also had strong words against some jurors, particularly a law student who told a reporter he didn't believe the trajectory of the bullets matched the prosecution's story.
"All it would have taken was for one juror with a little courage to prevent this monumental injustice. The judge and jury killed Josie again with their decisions while outrageously believing a murdering, drug dealing illegal alien who condemned my son, Ryan of her murder," Russell Greathouse said.
"My family and I, most importantly Josie, did not receive the justice that she deserved. Ryan was accused of something he was not capable of, and simply did not do."
While Roman was acquitted of aggravated murder in Fox's death, he was convicted of two third-degree felonies: tampering with evidence and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person. He will be sentenced Oct. 10 and faces of maximum of 10 years in prison.

I have a safety first alpha and omega. Little man seems to like it. It fits well in my truck and or small car. It has the nice neck cushion and head support although my lo head seems to slouch a little on long trips when he sleeps. I was really thinking about using my existing carseat as my back up in my DH vehicle and wanted to get the Recaro Proride. Reviews and crash test ratings seem great. Wanted some feedback on those who have it if they love it or would like some recommendations if you have a different brand you love!
Convertible carseats: what do you have??? Love it or hate it?

I was looking at a britax too, but after reading through all the comments people who had both preferred the Proride. Who would've thought picking a carseat would cause this much worry and headache? I just want to make sure ill get something comfortable for my little one! We live 30 minutes out of town now and travel for camping often... I appreciate all of the feedback and advice! My mother is also looking into a carseat for her vehicle but doesn't want to spend as much since it won't be his primary seat however wants a safe one. Ill definitely mention the gracco and look into those too!

She married Aaron W. Pursley on Oct. 4, 2003, in Topeka. He survives of the home.
Other survivors include a daughter, Kayden Grace Pursley, of the home; a brother, Scott M. Barkes and fiancée Heather Frisbie, Kansas City, Mo.; and her parents, Tecumseh.

Hands on with Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
Given the slow rate of change for both GNOME and KDE user interfaces, I didn't think this would be the case - at least not with Ubuntu 11.10. A version or two down the track, maybe, but not just six months after Canonical released 11.04 with its own salvo into the interface war with Unity - an innovation that divided Ubuntu users.
But after some hands on time with the latest Ubuntu, I could be wrong. While it's not a revolution, it is an evolution and it's shaping up to be quite the impressive new kitty on the block.

Five reasons to switch from Windows to Linux
Linux has been in the ascendancy ever since the open source operating system was released, and has been improved and refined over time so that a typical distribution is now a polished and complete package comprising virtually everything the user needs, whether for a server or personal system. Much of the web runs on Linux, and a great many smartphones, and numerous other systems, from the Raspberry Pi to the most powerful supercomputers. So is it time to switch from Windows to Linux? Here are five reasons why.

What a pig's ear. That's one way of summing up the way things look right now, with Labour gaining ground and the polls showing a bigger and bigger mountain to climb if David Cameron ever thinks the party's going to govern.
Spring conference should have been a rallying call, with policies people could relate to. But instead of arming candidates for the final battle with the weapons they need to win it, we're in the doldrums.
Hung Parliament might be the best Conservatives could hope for, if yet more polls are to be believed. The telling line is in today's Independent:
The party faces the daunting challenge of capturing 117 seats to achieve a majority of just one – a task described by a shadow cabinet member as a "mountain to climb".
Brown seems to be made of Teflon at the moment. Not even the Iraq inquiry is denting Labour's steady climb back up the ratings.
Ashcroft won't be Cameron's Waterloo. Would Wellington had beaten Napoleon if he hadn't revealed his battle plan to the rank and file beforehand..?

Harvard Business School 'graduate' Tyra Banks under fire from critics because her qualification is short course certificate instead of full degree
Under fire: Tyra Banks is facing criticism because her Harvard qualification is not a 'proper' degree
Tyra Banks famously graduated from Harvard Business School earlier this year. But today she came under fire from critics who have taken issue with the fact that the qualification is not a 'proper' degree.
The supermodel, 38, has never suggested that she has anything other than a 'diploma' from Harvard.
However even the word 'diploma' might be a stretch, as Ms Banks actually earned a 'Certificate of Completion' for
her nine-week course in the university's Owner/President Management non-degree extension
While these classes are offered through Harvard Business School's extension school, the head of the program has stated that it is 'very different from a full-time M.B.A degree program,' which would take two years to complete.
Nor do the classes come cheap. OPM 'clients' are required to complete three three-week units, at an ear-ringing $33,000 per unit.
That's nearing $100,000 for the privilege of attending
classes on campus.
The revelation regarding Ms Banks's Harvard qualification was revealed in a biting report on Jezebel, criticizing the model's 'habit of making misleading public statements about her studies.'
It read: 'She ought to just tell
the truth.'
The article goes on to say that 'Tyra Banks is an
accomplished businesswoman. There is no reason to embellish her achievements. A
Harvard Business School graduate she is not.'
While Ms Banks, a former high school honor roll student, has never claimed to have a Harvard degree, it appears that she does seem set on boasting about her Ivy League cred.
In February, she tweeted two pictures of herself on Harvard's
Big strides: Ms Banks tweeted: 'On stage at my Harvard Business School graduation!' on February 17 this year
Proud: The model tweeted a picture of herself with her 'diploma' at Harvard
The first shows her walking past a podium, accompanied with the words: 'On stage at my Harvard Business School graduation! Lil blurry but SUCH an exciting moment 4 me & wanted 2 share w/u!'
In the other, she clutches her diploma on campus, tweeting: 'Smiling
ear2ear on the Harvard Business School campus w/my diploma!'
All this name-dropping seems gratuitous, considering the successful media empire the reigning queen of fierce has built for herself: America's Next Top Model's 19th season (pegged as the 'College Edition,' coincidentally) debuted on the CW network this week.
The latest cycle is a marked departure from the past – with new judges like fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone, outspoken blogger BryanBoy, and her rumoured 'toyboy,' 24-year-old male model Rob Evans.

Blue Haven advertises Wing Nite on Wednesdays. Ourvcfamily group headed there for the wings Wednesday and but a bust. Although the wings looked good, we ordered them and after 1 1/2 hours of waiting for them we left. When we asked the cook, as she came out of the kitchen with some orders about the time she snapped at us and said that the orders that were already put in will be filled but no new orders will be taken! If you say it's wing night then you should have enough wings ordered from your supplier and enough people to wait on you and cook! For sure our family won't be back!!

CINCINNATI -- When I got my first glimpse last week of the then still-to-be-published ESPN World Fame 100, I have to admit that I rubbed my eyes and then did a quick double-take.
Not only was Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton listed ahead of famed nemesis Ben Roethlisberger, but he also was ahead of his immediate predecessor, Carson Palmer. True, all three quarterbacks hovered near the very bottom of the list of the 100 most famous athletes in the world, but Dalton was still at the top of this specific triumvirate.
Oh, and there was the fact Dalton was the only Bengal listed. A.J. Green, the Bengals' five-time Pro Bowler who has been in his share of major commercials, didn't make it on the list.
What do you think? Is Dalton A) the most famous Bengals player? And B) more popular than Roethlisberger and Palmer?
So, you're probably wondering how ESPN settled upon these rankings. You can read the detailed answer here, but just know that ESPN's director of sports analytics, Ben Alamar, was tasked with devising the list incorporating a bevy of factors. Among them, Forbes' list of the top 100 highest-paid athletes, input from other athletes, input from ESPN personalities, and a formula that combined an athletes' salary/winnings and endorsements with their social media following (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) and Google search popularity.
When all of those numbers were crunched together, Alamar got a list that had Dalton ranked 95th, Roethlisberger ranked 98th, and Palmer ranked 99th.
This is quite the honor for Dalton, who was one of 16 NFL players who made the list. Of them, all but four were fellow quarterbacks in 2015. Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (No. 40), defensive end J.J. Watt (56), running back Marshawn Lynch (61) and tight end Rob Gronkowski (72) were the only non-quarterbacks listed in the ESPN World Fame 100. Since quarterbacks typically get the largest contracts, and since salary is part of the methodology, that probably explains the general lack of non-QBs on this list.
The reason Dalton's standing here could be considered surprising with respect to Roethlisberger and Palmer is because both have been household names for so much longer. Drafted first overall in 2003, Palmer was the Bengals' big-armed quarterback until Dalton arrived in 2011. Injuries and his move to a struggling Raiders team a few seasons ago probably caused Palmer to slip a bit in the grand scale of recent NFL popularity. The 36 year old likely earned back some of the fame points last season when he appeared in all 16 of the Arizona Cardinals' regular-season games, and earned his first career playoff win.
As you well know, Dalton has yet to win in the postseason. A thumb injury suffered against Roethlisberger's Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 last season kept him out during Cincinnati's wild-card round game which was also against Pittsburgh. Officially, Dalton is 0-4 in the playoffs, and his franchise hasn't won a postseason game since the 1990 season. He was enjoying a potential MVP-caliber season before his thumb injury, though, leading the Bengals to an 8-0 record to open the year.
Roethlisberger seems like he would be more popular than Dalton because of the success his Steelers have had. He's a two-time Super Bowl winner who has been in the league since 2004. He's also a well-paid player with a healthy social media following.
Still, this one time at least, Dalton has trumped his rival and his predecessor.

PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County's updated shoreline management plan is expected to be in place by mid-December now that the conflict over finfish aquaculture has been resolved, according to the county's lead on the project.
"We will allow the use of net pens, although only in certain geographical areas and with a conditional-use permit," said Associate Planner Michelle McConnell, whose department is preparing paperwork that the three county commissioners will consider for approval Nov. 18.
"Having a plan in place will also allow people who have been waiting to develop shoreline property to proceed and offer them different options for that development," McConnell said.
County Commissioner David Sullivan said he thinks "it's the best we can do.
"All this does is kick it down to the permit level and deal with net pens on a case-by-case basis instead of having it be on the program level, but anyone who wants to put in a net pen will have to meet all of the conditions," Sullivan said.

Kenneth Weene's insight:
This is much better than using inmates as slave labor to serve industry. While they may be making only pennies for their work, they are at least helping the Earth and hopefully learning not only a skill that will help them find employment later in life but also a reverence for life and the world around them.
President Obama designated three new national monuments in the California desert Thursday, expanding federal protection to 1.8 million acres of landscapes that have retained their natural beauty despite decades of heavy mining, cattle ranching and off-roading.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Another reason to consider Obama a great president, his efforts in protecting the environment and especially areas of unique beauty in America. He has used his office to protect over 265 million acres of land and water, more than any other administration.
An agreement that cardboard for recycling will be put out on a Tuesday night has been reached at the UN climate summit in Paris. The historic deal will see cardboard across the developed world kerbside and ready for collection on a Wednesday morning, though it is acknowledged that some less developed countries may not manage until after lunchtime.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
With the state of the world rapidly decaying it's good to know our political leaders are making progress towards total ineptitude.
Parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore enjoy cleanest air in two months, amid demands for Jakarta to take action against those who started the fires
Kenneth Weene's insight:
The goal of personal economic gain unbalanced by concern for the environment is one of the greatest threats to the world. The fires that have ravished Indonesia are primarily caused by unchecked greed; the respiratory distress that they produce all over the world are reason enough for all nations to help.
A filmmaker and collaborator will project images of endangered species on a huge New York — and global — canvas on Saturday night.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
What a wonderful effort to make the world more aware of what is happening to so many species. Extinction is forever.
Thousands of people are trying to get him his job back.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
This is one of those feel good but wait a minute stories. Sure the cubs are cute and who would want to harm them, but do we really need to save black bear cubs? The species is hardly endangered, especially in the Vancouver Island region. Which brings us to a reality—nature is cruel. We humans are strangely ambivalent about the creatures that surround us. We fight for them and then decry the reality when they become a problem for us, for example when deer raid our gardens or coyotes eat our dogs and cats. Anyway, I think it wrong to tell a firefighter that he has to kill animals. If you want to euthanize an animal, the least you can do is get somebody to do the job who is willing, not somebody who is dedicated to saving life.
The longest floating structure in world history is about to hit the ocean to fix a very big problem.
The design might seem simple, but it's definitely not.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
A great attempt to make the world a better place, and started by a teen—well, now he's 20. The goal is to remove the plastic that is littering our oceans with a device that won't harm sea life of any kind and won't use man-made energy in the process. It ain't easy being green, but we should all try.
Got a healthy stream? You've probably got a hellbender.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
As a child I never caught polliwogs or fireflies or fished for sunnies. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was that I cared about life too much to waste it, too much about nature to harm it. One of the great traumas of my young life was the death of my tropical fish—a story I will someday share. Anyway, here are some little critters that I never knew about before and find fascinating, a species of salamander native to Appalachian streams.
You've probably *heard* that the earth is warming. But how do scientists actually *know* it's happening?
Kenneth Weene's insight:
First and foremost, people have to understand that warming is actually the wrong word. We are like a huge bowl of ice and water. As head is absorbed. the temperature doesn't change so much as the ice melts. When the ice is all gone the temperature rises continually. We should all be aware that what we are really talking about is net energy absorption. Second, even if you don't believe that this is a man-made problem, we still should be trying to do something about it. Why? Because without the Earth we don't have a home. So what do we do? Science is suggesting some very clear actions. Sadly, one change in behavior that is being totally ignored is to stop fighting, stop using weapons and armies. Just think of all the energy released in a battle from all that fuel burned and ammunition exploded. Then think of all the CO2 and other gasses released. Sure, we have to take action at the personal level, but we have to insist that governments and corporations do likewise. Or perhaps it's just time for us to stop; I mean just stop being. Maybe this is the end of the cartoon, and I'm Bugs Bunny saying "That's All Folks."

Here's how in a minute the NASA explains climate change! take a look!!
Dairy farmers routinely feed their cows a finger-sized magnet, which settles in the digestive tract to help keep the cows healthy. Wait what? This is no bizarre homeopathy, but rather a legitimate treatment for a stomach-churning ailment called "hardware disease."
Kenneth Weene's insight:
My mother used to feed me calf's liver because it had iron in it. Now, I wonder what she knew. Meanwhile what a sad commentary on the waste we human's distribute throughout the environment.
The estimated one-third of food left uneaten is a serious threat to the global environment and economy.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
As consumers we must be aware of what we buy and what we prepare. Eating leftovers is not a reason for shame but pride that we are not being wasteful. Sharing with neighbors does not mean we are showing off but that we are caring. Not allowing packaged and canned foods to languish on the shelf but rather bringing them to food banks is not a sign that we have been wasteful but that we have taken responsibility. Food is a precious resource, let's not waste it. Let's not despoil our world. And let's not allow our neighbors to go hungry.
As Vandana Shiva, an advocate for sustainable farming, says, a war on the soil is like suicide. Past cultures, like the Maya, ancient Greeks, and Easter Islanders, cleared land for farming, but left the soil exposed to wind and water, which carried away the rich topsoil. Topsoil is the fertile layer where all the action is. Without it, crops struggle to grow, produce less, and are vulnerable to diseases. That means less food for people.Things that matter. Pass 'em on.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
When the first humans landed in New Zealand there were great birds, the flightless moas. The humans wanting food killed the birds faster than they could reproduce. In the end, the birds had gone extinct and the humans were again hungry. Now we dumb phosphates and the like into the soil. It may take longer for the Earth to stop keeping up with that depredation, but in the end we will again be going hungry having despoiled yet another treasure. Sic semper homanes.
By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have unveiled the most comprehensive bird 'family tree' ever devised, using genetic data from 48 species to trace how modern bird lineages arose and flourished after the mass extinction that killed off the dinosaurs. The work by researchers from 20 countries helps clarify the evolutionary relationships of modern bird groups and reveals the genetic underpinning of traits such as singing, toothlessness, colorful feathers and color vision. ...
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Imagine that hummingbird outside your window, that robin singing, that parrot talking trash: all the wonder of birds. Now thing they all survived and were descended from the dinosaurs. Wow! Will they survive man? Will we cause another mass extinction?
It's at the mouth of the Amazon River.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Not as diverse or colorful as other great reefs, but still significant and already endangered. Preserve nature; let us be stewards of the Earth not just parasites.
Schools in Beijing are to close and outdoor construction to stop after the Chinese capital issued its first "red alert" over smog levels.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
One can only imagine the toll this kind of smog takes on the health of the people. Urbanization, industrialization, and population growth come with a price for our species and our planet. It is time for us all to consider the environmental consequences of our lives.
It is rare for a new animal species to emerge in front of scientists' eyes. But this seems to be happening in eastern North America
Kenneth Weene's insight:
The coywolf, a new species or just a hybrid? Either way a major new player in the ecology of eastern North America.
Those delightfully zany Dutch have done it again!
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Tesla would have loved this. While there would be some cost to build and maintain this system (not free electricity), it would certainly be a lot cheaper then the current methods and of course there's no pollution, which is a big plus. Now how will coal and oil companies react? How will governments respond? Those are always the big questions, but hopefully this is a great leap forward from the lovely city of Delft, the Netherlands.
The West is burning up, and we don't have the cash to fight it.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Of course, forest fires don't just have the cost of fighting them but also the cost of the damage to resources and the pollution caused by smoke. Prevention should have its own budget and there should be emphasis not only on forest land management but also on building the best fire-fighting infrastructure possible, including new tanker plane.
From time
Golf courses in the Coachella Valley have been asked to reduce water use.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
I don't begrudge him a round of golf, but while he is in California perhaps Mr. Obama can encourage not simply cutting down on water usage but also finding methods for reclaiming waste water and especially desalinization of sea water. Reclamation, especially when so much water is used in fracking and agriculture and when the Salton Sea becomes more and more contaminated threatening the Imperial Valley, well that's just good long-term thinking. By the way, hidden is this story is one of the most damning water-use factoids in California; they don't consider water direct from the Colorado as quality water. Yes, it needs to be treated, but it is still one of their primary water sources.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
So nearby and yet so remote. The question that always haunts me: Is nature better off observed by well-meaning humans or simply left alone?
Levels of radon, a cancer-causing, radioactive gas, have been rising measurably in Pennsylvania since the controversial practice of fracking started there, r...
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Golly, gosh, if you attack the earth, the earth fights back. What a concept. Seriously, does anybody remember Buckminster Fuller? And let there be no mistake about it, fracking is as aggressive an approach to getting oil as you can find, much more disruptive of the geology than drilling. There is no question that we need to be more careful of our planet; it's the only one we have.
Pamela Hills's curator insight, April 15, 2015 9:14 AM
Good Grief how many red flags can we raise against Fracking and the list is growing.
(1) The millions of water used and then contaminated and put back in to the earth. There are reports they are using this process to get rid of Nuclear waste.
(2) Proof is can cause earth Quakes
(3) Now this with Radon
(4) California needs fracking there like hole in the head with worst drought ever and lakes going dry ! How many more states will face same thing ?
How many ways can the world scream "STOP FRACKING " ?
Photographers from around the world share photos of kids to help us see what climate change really looks like. It's literally about fire and ice.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
No, the world isn't getting that much warmer at this point, because the ice is melting and that keeps the temperatures down. But the climate is changing and the net-absorption of energy from the sun is rising. As a result, disasters are looming larger and greater. Meanwhile, for some it's all about business as usual. Perhaps it's time for us all to see the threat we are creating for all our children.
A study of how climate change has affected emperor penguins over the last 30,000 years found that only three populations may have survived during the last ice age, and that the Ross Sea in Antarctica was likely the refuge for one of these populations.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Sure, I know this is very intellectual and not very relevant to today, but who can resist penguins? Not me!
The great-great-grandfather now keeps his hands busy by knitting scarves for friends and hats for premature babies

What a great story.
The Flagstaff City Council will join county supervisors in recommending to Congress a conservation zone around Walnut Canyon National Monument
Kenneth Weene's insight:
There are many wonderful places in this country that should be protected for future inhabitants. Certainly the beautiful areas around Flagstaff, Arizona, should be on that list. However, I always wonder when conservative parts of the state (or the country) suddenly want the federal government involved. You can't starve the beast and then expect it have the necessary resources to help you.

Three intervening decades have done nothing whatsoever to blunt the
impact of this notorious roughie, ripped from then current headlines
about one Michael Kenyon alias the Illinois Enema Bandit who raped and
forcefully, er, cleansed at least two dozen women between 1965 and
1975. Charged with assault and battery, he served a mere six years
behind bars, only to be paroled in 1981 after which he wisely faded
into well-deserved obscurity. While a TV movie of the week (starring
Cameron Mitchell perhaps, think TOOLBOX MURDERS) might've been a
tantalizing proposition, the counterculture seemed a more likely
candidate to process this peculiar court case. It served as inspiration
for Frank Zappa's song "The Legend of the Illinois Enema Bandit" and,
for better or worse, this interesting but still extremely hard to take
adult film long attributed to Gerard Damiano of DEEP THROAT and DEVIL
IN MISS JONES fame. Though his name has always been prominently
displayed in both credits and all publicity material, Damiano has
repeatedly gone on record claiming he was supposed to do it, but
didn't. Most sources henceforth agree that it was our old friend Shaun
Costello at the helm, a theory supported by the familiar soundtrack
choices (Bernard Herrmann's VERTIGO soundtrack has once again been
extensively plundered to set the mood) as well as the director's brief
appearance as an extra in a police station sequence. If indeed so, this
truly stands as his most disturbing effort since 1972's FORCED ENTRY
and it's a far better produced work to boot.
Opening with an improvised New York street scene, stylistically likened to Martin Scorsese's MEAN STREETS by Jonathan Ross in his enjoyable if not always accurate INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM BOOK (where he continually refers to the film as being titled THE ENEMA BANDIT and asserts that it sports no credits whatsoever while it actually has and fairly complete ones at that), the movie introduces its audience to an apparently average nameless guy played to absolute psychotic perfection by the inimitable Jamie Gillis. Surely, this part was instrumental in cementing the actor's longstanding reputation as porn's most fearsome nasty bastard and may even have hypothetically influenced the respectable likes of Harvey Keitel on Abel Ferrara's gut-wrenching BAD LIEUTENANT. A casual trip to a sleazy brothel named rather incongruously the Garden of Eden earns him a $ 10 blow job from friendly resident tart Sharon Mitchell and a lecture by madam Gloria Leonard (legendary former editor of skin magazine HIGH SOCIETY and one time chairwoman of the Adult Film Association of America) on the house specials. Her mention of high colonic captures his interest and, as luck would have it, one such session is just about to get underway with faux doctor Eric Edwards (yet again wiping the floor with his Mr. Sensitivity image) and ditto nurse Marlene Willoughby pumping a bagful of soapy water into the bowels of poor supine Pamela (Long Jean Silver from the jaw-dropping Alex deRenzy flick of the same name, though her claim to fame one of her legs has been amputated following a car accident and she occasionally uses the stump for penetration of various partners of both sexes is kept out of frame here). Having found his niche, Gillis sets about to ritualistically clean the "filthy whores" of Manhattan, his first victim being his across the street neighbor, a pretty stewardess he worshiped from afar until he realized she had a boyfriend (the ubiquitous chubby-cheeked David Joseph) whom she regularly performed sex acts with. The girl's eternal second stringer Clea Carson, billed as "Valerie Morgenstern", a pseudonym derived from mainstream actress Valerie Harper and her popular TV character Rhoda Morgenstern, more than a tad ironic considering this actress would go on to become a heavy hitter in the Women Against Pornography movement, sidling up to the likes of Linda Lovelace !
The nature of the crime alerts hard-bitten vice squad detective Irene Murray (an understated C.J. Laing who only seems to come to life when it's her turn to tussle with Gillis) who is forcibly teamed up with homicide cop Jack Gallagher (deftly sketched by the extremely hirsute John Buco) to crack the case. A pair of lesbian teenage sisters named Ginger and Candy (reliable supporting babe Susaye London and one shot wonder Barbara Belkin) find their fondling rudely interrupted by Gillis in the movie's most tasteless number, where it becomes painfully obvious that neither actress was given a chance to clean up before the forced irrigation action, a humiliating highlight clearly taken well beyond the ladies' comfort. Armed with the perpetrator's description and having narrowed down his territory, Irene agrees to act as decoy which very nearly leads to her being offed as the badge in her handbag inadvertently divulges her identity. The final frames show the maniac's face being lit up by the arriving cop car before he makes his way into the night.
It would be easy to ridicule WATERPOWER if it had been assembled with the slapdash, "make it up as you go along" attitude of Costello's customary "Russ Carlson" quickies of the same period. The immediately obvious fact that it doesn't pushes the film into a whole different territory however. Compellingly written and acted with utmost conviction for most part (making the rape scenes particularly queasy viewing), it has a power to disturb that very few other roughies can even begin to touch. Considerably more extreme than mainstream portraits of psychosis such as John McNaughton's admittedly excellent HENRY : PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, it once and for all dispels that old "less is more" adage by searing each grotesque violation into the mind's eye with unrelenting blowtorch intensity. Presumably impossible to love (unless maybe you're the lucky owner of a very sick mind), this is one film you will NEVER forget.
Faster than an erupting colon! More powerful than an over-exercised
sphincter! Able to cram liters of water into asses with a single
nozzle! It's - THE ENEMA BANDIT!!! Oh boy - this one's another weirdy
from "classic" smut director Shaun Costello...
Burt (played convincingly by porn-pro Jamie Gillis) is a bugged out freak, who after witnessing an enema procedure at the local sex-club, decides that it's his duty to clean out all the whores he cums across - starting with one of his neighbors that he often peeps on. Armed with a backpack full of enema supplies, Burt goes on an ass-douching rampage of twisted hilarity - including the aforementioned neighbor, a pair of sisters (who are a little too "close" for comfort), and finally a female undercover cop who is out to bust him...
Many seem to find WATER POWER "disturbing" - sorry guys - this one's just down-right funny. Apparently based on true events that happened at Illinois University where some whackadoo went around enemizing co-eds - Costello (according to his own story about the "conception" of the film) states that when confronted with the "material" that he was asked to shoot - he decided to make it a parody of it's own self, while throwing in a healthy dose of TAXI DRIVER-ish pathology blended into the character of Burt. He considers it his funniest film - and honestly, I do to. Not for all tastes by any means, but even though the film offers such "treats" as forced-enema expulsion (both real and staged) one of which is particularly noteworthy where Burt has the girl spray her butt-water on his hand and dong for a little "lube" action, gun-point rape, a little golden-shower action, incest and all-around humiliation and depravity...there's still something in how the material is portrayed that is so over-the-top as to honestly become comical. Either that or I'm just really sick.
The sex scenes are unarousing and are basically comprised of a few rape scenes, and one relatively energetic blow-job from Sharon Mitchell. The first and last enema scenes are obviously genuine, the two "messier" ones in the middle of the film appear to be staged - but are still a riot. Nothing really whack-worthy, unless you are an enema-fetishist - but WATER POWER will appeal to those that dig really uber-weird and twisted films and don't mind a little (or a lot...) of porn mixed in. Definitely some strange (and messy) stuff, and some of the weirdest film-making you're ever likely to witness...9.5/10
EDIT: I have since spoken with Mr. Costello personally - and he assures me that ALL of the enema "expulsion" scenes were REAL and not staged...thanks to Mr. Costello for the clarification...
Man there's a lot of mighty unclean women floating around nowadays, well
there seemed to be as far as Jamie Gillis was concerned! The director of
"Deep Throat" tried his hands at yet another porn, this being by far the
nastiest of them all. What can be so nasty you ask?
How about a loopy Gillis barging into your house with a gun in one hand, an enema kit in the other and hell bent on cleaning you up!!!
Honestly what can I say, it's a porn movie. Though it is a good porn movie, with some marvelous music swiped from "Cape Fear" and god knows what else. Jamie Gillis is, as per usual totally convincing as the "Enema Bandit". Plus this was also based on true events! Unbelievable!!!
The 70's were the times in which porn was very mean and ugly.Lots of so-called XXX roughies was made during those glorious years of cinematic filth.Among them was infamous "Waterpower" by Shaun Costello.Jamie Gillis plays here a notorious rapist called the Enema Bandit.He viciously rapes his female victims and before the rape he gives them an enema.The cops are trying desperately to catch him..."Waterpower" is certainly a shocking and dirty stuff,but the acting is pretty good and the cinematography is great.The film is filled with gritty atmosphere of urban decay.The scenes of sexual violence are hard to stomach and the misogyny is rampant through its projection time.Jamie Gillis is frighteningly realistic as the Enema Bandit.A must-see for fans of bizarre hybrids of porn and horror.8 out of 10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Oftentimes, I have found it hard to pin down what my favorite film of
all time is. Now, I don't have to worry because Waterpower is my new
all-time favorite film of all time. Period.
Burt's (Jamie Gillis) a guy who's struggling to find himself...Oh wait, no he's not--he's a curious guy and he wants to know about enemas. He's got himself a girl but he takes a stroll into the local whore parlor anyway and while he's there he sees a whore dressed as a nurse which leads him to ask questions, tough questions--like, what are "specials"? 'What are specials?' the boy says! Better yet! Have a look! And there goes Burt into the viewing room where the doctor has been called in to correct a problematic girl with a nice, cleansing enema. Let's just say that this is something Burt is interested in. He soon finds himself thumbing through the pages of enema porno rags and in possession of an enema kit...and a gat...and another enema kit with an inflatable bulb on the end.
This whole time, Burt's been infatuated with the young woman in the apartment across the street who he watches with a telescope. After his seminal encounter with the enema viewing room, Burt comes home to his trusty telescope and trains it on his dream girl. Tonight she's entertaining a male guest...with her VAGINA!!!!! Well, that means she's just dirty in Burt's mind, no better than a whore really. She must be cleaned up! Out comes the heater and the enema kit, and out come her watery stools! "Come on, get up," he says as he coaxes her into the bath tub, "You don't wanna get sh!t all over your pretty toilet, do you?" Amen, brutha, amen. I'm not really sure why it's necessary for Burt to rape her but I'm glad he does.
This film is pure brilliant filth--later scenes have Burt ("The Enema Bandit" as he becomes known) breaking up a sisterly lesbo session that leads to rape and bathroom expulsion galore as well as a solid kick in the ass which sends a girl stumbling over. The ending of this film is quite possibly one of the best conclusions ever and this whole damned thing is way better than Murder Set-Pieces. God bless America and God bless Shaun Costello--10/10.
Of course, I do not want to condone the use of force or violence, and in this video, it is actually criminal - rape associated with the administration of enemas . . . however, with that caveat having been applied, this video is CLASSIC. Everything you could want, from the medical administration of a discipline enema, to the girl next door who needs to be cleansed, to the two sisters alone at home, to the ultimate female police officer who tries to set the guy up! It's a full length film and I think - with other vintage 70/80 film - that which became the cornerstone of my interest in medical fetish/fantasy and the later development of "PLAY DOCTOR". Highly recommended.
All the way through watching "Water Power" I couldn't stop chuckling because Jack Nicholson's legendary Joker quote from "Batman" was stuck in my head. "This town needs an enema!" That must have been exactly what the protagonist was repeating in his head the entire time as well. Gerard Damiano, the same legendary guy who brought us "Deep Throat" presents this vile and hugely perverted "Water Power". At least, that's what the cover proudly exclaims, but apparently this was just a shameless publicity stunt and the actual guy in the director's seat was Shaun Costello. Now that is a much more logical and acceptable link with this film. "Deep Throat" was a porno movie, but a comical and light-headed one, whereas "Water Power" deals with unpleasant topics like rape, torture and perverted fetishes. Since Shaun Costello previously directed the notorious "Forced Entry" revolving on a Vietnam veteran on a rape and murdering rampage it's much more credible to see his name linked to "Water Power". Either way, this is a remarkable piece of ultra-smutty 70's porno exploitation. It's a unique and fascinating effort to behold, but for all the wrong reasons as you're are basically watching a story about a misogynist freak raping women and sticking tubes of water in their behinds and actually getting away with it, too! "Water Power" introduces a thirty-something and very bored guy named Burt. His apartment is decorated with pornographic pictures and he peeps at his sexy stewardess neighbor through a telescope, but other than that he's a random and completely normal male individual. After a visit to a luxurious sex club, however, Burt discovers his true calling in life: enemas! He goes on a purifying crusade through the rancid streets of New York, beginning with his neighbor but quickly taking on every random woman he assumes to be a dirty whore. He picks them up or even perpetrates into their houses, rapes them and then finally thrusts tubes into their anuses and turns on the tab! The police desperately searches for the so-called "enema bandit" but can't find him, even though he doesn't make too much efforts covering up his crimes. That's probably because the duo of inspectors is too busy investigating each other's genitals. Supposedly based on a true story, "Water Power" is a rather disturbing film. The setting, decayed and sleaze-infested New York streets, is obviously copied from "Taxi Driver" and Jamie Gillis probably even owes his casting to his sinister and menacing appearance. Most unsettling, of course, is the actual act of performing forced enemas. They look very realistic and even more painful (I hope the actresses were paid accordingly!) and honestly not something you do to get sexual kicks. Anyways, in case you are looking for the extreme type of adult movie with a plot yes, they do exist and character development, "Water Power" would make an excellent choice.
Back in the golden era of the porn industry they really made some nasty
flicks. That era lays between 1972 and the start of the VHS. Most of
those flicks are forgotten and are nowadays searched by collectors. The
girls in those flicks just looked like your usual neighbours, they
didn't have perfect bodies but that added something towards the flicks.
Nowadays they look like fake plastic barbie sluts, can't act and are
screaming like their life is depending on it.
Water Power was one that had a proper VHS release and played some theatres in Europe. The copy I found even had Dutch subtitles. Finally it is out on DVD but still it is a hunt to find a copy.
Jamie Gillis, one of the well known porn actors, plays Burt. A lonely guy who hasn't got a girlfriend and watches a stewardess undress from his window. From there on things go wrong with Burt. When he's seeing a hooker she tells him of some perverted sex going on in the room next door. He watches it and by seeing enema he decides to clean the sleazy streets of New York.
You don't watch it for the script because that sucks (no pun intended) really hard. When the cops go looking for him nothing goes on and how a cop Irene Murray (played by C.J. Laing) finds him on the streets isn't explained neither but the script isn't the most important thing.
It does contain some normal sex scenes but the ones with the enema are the ones that are hard to swallow (no pun again intended). The first enema is explained in front of the camera and does look normal but once Burt is on the streets to rape and punish things aren't for the easily offended. Two scene's are rather disgusting, especially the lesbian one with Susaye London (Ginger) and Barbara Belkin (Candy). Susaye went further in the business but Barbara made her first and last entrance into the porn industry. Were the scene in the club the enema was done with a cleaned girl (if you know what I mean) pure water came out of her ass but in the lesbo scene filthy shitty water is sputtered in the bath tub were they were standing, but to make it worse Burt gives them a golden shower and to humiliate them he cums on their juggs, not an easy scene to take if you aren't into roughies. Naturally C.J. Laing had do to her stuff too. It's so weird as being a Jew that she entered the porn industry. Nevertheless, she gets an enema too but this time she filled with so much water that it really must have hurt and to make it even worse Burt penetrates her. You can see her being humiliated in Sex Wish and The Taking Of Christina, both from 1976. What makes it all even naughtier is the fact that no effects were used or stand-ins. What you see is the real stuff.
Still it's worth seeing because there is an actual story in it although it isn't that good but it's not just about banging and the face of Jamie did look a bit creepy sometimes. This is really a classic in the 'roughie ' genre and one to see if you aren't easily offended.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Waterpower is a movie that could have been only made in the seventies. Based on the true story of Michael Kenyon, the Illinois enema Bandit. Waterpower stars Jamie Gillis as a guy who finds his true calling in life after watching Eric Edwards and Marlene Willoughby give Long Jeanne Silver am enema at a brothel called "The Garden of Eden" Gillis is his usual scary self and the movie plays like a porn remake of Taxi Driver. Erroneously credited to Gerard Damiano. The film is for me, a classic example of seventies porn, It has an interesting story, is well filmed and is extremely dark in tone, something that you will not see in recent porn. while definitely not for everyone. If you are interested in seeing that's not run of the mill, see Waterpower
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Vicious and unhinged rapist loner Burt (superbly played with frightening conviction and intensity by late, great porn legend Jamie Gillis) gives his unfortunate female victims brutal and degrading anal probings and rinsings after he's finished after his wicked carnal way with them. Writer/director Shaun Costello, who also blessed us with the equally nasty and shocking "Forced Entry," expertly creates a harsh and seething mood of all-out sexual depravity that really gets under the viewer's skin and makes you feel filthy for watching the unsparingly gross'n'graphic on-screen carnage. Moreover, Costello manages to build a considerable amount of nerve-wracking tension at the harrowing climax and concludes the whole sordid show with a truly chilling ending. Of course, this movie wouldn't work as well as it does if it wasn't for the unusually strong and credible performance by Gillis in the lead role; he's both utterly convincing and absolutely terrifying as a seriously hateful, scary, and repellent creep (the scenes with Gillis forcing women to have sex with him at gunpoint are extremely unpleasant and upsetting). Gillis's bitter monologues about cleaning out the "vile humors" of dirty whores are simply priceless and pleasingly reminiscent of "Taxi Driver." Naturally, this picture certainly covers all the essential seedy bases with unflinching explicitness: Besides the jarring rape set pieces and disgusting enemas (said enemas were actually done for real!), we've also got such basic sleazy stuff as fellatio, voyeurism, straight copulation, cunnilingus, masturbation, and even lesbianism. The cast is a veritable who's who of the 70's porn scene: C.J. Laing and John Buco as the hard-bitten vice cops determined to bust Burt, Eric Edwards as a kinky and gleefully zealous doctor, Marlene Willoughby as a naughty nurse, Sharon Mitchell as hooker Eve, Gloria Leonard as a cheery sex club manager, Clea Carson as Burt's sexy stewardess neighbor, and even amputee Jean Silver as a hapless patient who receives an enema. Bill Markle's surprisingly polished cinematography gives the movie an impressive professional gloss. The authentically grimy New York City locations and the wonky droning score further add to the picture's substantial jolting impact. A rare notoriously perverse and seamy underground hardcore cult item that truly lives up to its infamous reputation.

Very easy to find, hassle free parking
Getting back onto 101 Southbound was a problem. If there were signs, I missed them.
I love Anza parking. I am always able to get in and out quickly. They deliver on their promise that shuttles run every few minutes!
Good experience. Every step went smoothly. Will use this service again.
We were very pleased with the whole experience and will you use your lot and services again
I've used them several times with no issues. This time, all spaces were upgraded to Valet (without extra charge), which has its pros and cons. Shuttle was waiting for us at the lot at 5:30 AM which was a blessing. But on return, we waited over 15 minutes in the hot sun at the airport; my wife called them on the courtesy phone and the van came right away (but we saw other lots' busses make two or three passes). Upon arrival at the lot, our car was waiting with keys in it and windows open, along with those of other passengers. We took a while to load it with bags but were never rushed, and our prepaid coupon worked fine. Recommended; just might call them first from the airport courtesy phone on return next time.
Would recomend
Again, some attendant changed my radio station. Some attendant ate sunflower seeds in my car ; sunflower seeds were all over the driver side floor and shells were piled in the map pocket in the driver's door.
Overall a great experience. Safe parking; frequent shuttles; car was ready when I arrived which was a pleasant surprise as it was raining :-)
Frequent shuttle service, car waiting at valet service, driver very helpful with cases. A great operation
Use them every time I go to SFO. They are reliable and fast! Always courteous.
Anza parking is awesome
first time user and I will defiantly use this service again
It seems that as you get more popular, the wait times for shuttle service (compared to SkyPark and Park and Ride) are getting longer.
A lot of construction down there. Getting there was easy, getting back on 101 N was a little more challenging. The entrance and exit procedures are a little confusing. It's all valet, so be prepared when you leave your car. Staff was helpful and friendly and tried to maximize your time.
Like parking here. Drivers/staff courteous and efficient. They seem to know customers get confused about the receipts, but just explain when the payment instructions. I loved how quickly the shuttle came and that the driver radioed ahead, so the car was brought to the front when we got to the lot.
We landed in SFO around midnight. Per instruction I called for the shuttle as soon as I was at the curbside. The shuttle took a long time to arrive. We saw the shuttle of other long term parking companies drive by twice before the Anza shuttle showed up. Other than that the valet parking was excellent, though the car was extremely dirty and covered by bird poop. Anza should look into covered parking.
Good staff and super fast shuttles. Made getting to and from the airport easy, which is awesome.
The service was promp and excellent. They helped us with our luggage and guided us at the airport. Will book again! Thank you
I prepaid online but the attendant at the exit gate asked again for the money. I found it offensive and unprofessional that you couldn't automatically keep track of who has already paid. I shouldn't be expected to prove to you that I prepaid. I had to hold up the line while digging the receipt out of my luggage. It seems that you need to link your online payment system to your cashier terminals.

In 1992 a study by Beggan claimed it had confirmed the existence of Nuttin's 'mere ownership effect'. This study examined an alternative mechanism for Beggan's findings in the form of forced compliance cognitive dissonance. Seventy-three participants volunteered for the study (66 females and seven males). Results support the view that cognitive dissonance, accepting ownership of a target that was earlier perceived with negative affectivity, is a sufficient condition to enhance estimates of a target object. Ownership per se was not found to be a sufficient condition to enhance owner's estimates of an owned object. In light of this finding cognitive dissonance is offered as a possible mechanism for explaining the previous reports of a perceived ownership effect. This mechanism may also be applicable to instant endowment and mere ownership phenomena. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Antique Chocolate Molds
A few days ago in class, friend and classmate of mine brought in a few antique molds that were given to her as a gift.They were gorgeous aluminum molds made around 1870 in Germany.Although they were fairly beat up from years of use, when she filled them and made hollow chocolates from them it turned out amazing looking.
So, I took it upon myself to get a few for me to try as well.I found a few websites that specialize in selling these antiques molds but they were far out of my price range!The very rare molds can run up to $300-$400 and the more affordable molds are from $60-$100.Being a college student who can barley rationalize the cost of going out to dinner, I thought that even a $75 mold was a little out of my price range.
Trying to find some cheaper reproductions I search on eBay.There were plenty of very cheaply made reproductions that were only for decoration, but I really wanted one that I could actually use.I finally found what I was looking for.An antique rabbit mold that was being sold by a person having an estate sale.I was the only one to bid on the bunny and won it for only $5!The mold was made in Switzerland in 1934 and while had a few scratches, was still in very good condition.
When it came in the mail a few days later I was extremely excited to test it out.I brought the mold to class the next day and cleaned and polished it several times before pouring in the tempered dark chocolate.The bunny took quite a while to set up, but when it did the rabbit turned out amazing!
I think that now collecting aluminum chocolate molds will be my new obsession, hopefully in the future I will be able to afford the truly rare shaped.If you feel like sending me one I will gladly accept!
