Movie Review: The Green Lantern
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively star in this dud of a superhero flick.
Director: Martin Campbell Rating: PG-13 Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
Hollywood can sure break a movie lover's heart. One week X-Men: First Class nicely spiffs up the superhero tentpole genre with its Bond-like 1960s cool, then along comes The Green Lantern and thud. Sure it's competent, but so same old, same old, you almost forget you're watching the thing while it's still spilling CGI effects and 3-D all over you—some $300 million worth.
Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) and based on the long-favorite DC Comics series, the muddled, cheesy-looking flick stars a stranded Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the hot-dogging test pilot and flyboy who gets picked to join an intergalactic force, the 3,600-strong Green Lanterns, to train like crazy, wear a green ring and matching unitard and fly all over the universe battling a monstrous, tentacled creature, Parallax, that feeds on fear. Good thing the beast doesn't feed on a gripping storyline, great production design or endearing characters because ole' Parallax would starve to death. As the cocky, ambivalent, Oedipally-wracked hero, Reynolds once again shows his ease at light, self-mocking comedy. When he's doing that, the movie is at least tolerable. The rest of the time the heroic stuff is just plain silly and Reynolds lacks the effortless-seeming gravitas of, oh, say, Michael Fassbender in X-Men: First Class.
As his childhood sweetie and fellow pilot, Blake Lively brings the zest but doesn't have much to do except look good and mumble her dialogue incomprehensibly through a clenched jaw. Together, they generate zero chemistry. To liven up a movie that works in fits and starts, also on hand are Peter Sarsgaard as a campy, hugely entertaining villain and Tim Robbins, who's also good as Reynolds' oily politician dad. An obligatory hint of a sequel turns up in the credits but don't hold your breath. Hey, we're all for going green but this is ridiculous.

One of my hives died over winter and now I have a few questions that I am not able to find the answers to. This is was my first winter with bees, I started the hives last Spring. I left 2 deep hive bodies on for the winter and there are still some frames with capped and uncapped honey in them. There are also some frames with pollen in them as well. All bees were dead and there were many that were dead with their heads face first in the cells. It seems like most of the dead bees were on the outer frames, in addition to the majority on the screened bottom. There was a lot of brown streaking on the inside walls of the hive bodies and quite a bit of streaking across the frames and down the drawn comb(dysentery??). I use screened bottom boards and a notched top entrance for ventilation. Although I thought that I left them enough stores for the winter, I also poured about 6 lbs. of sugar on a sheet of newspaper on top of the upper deep frames(which they did not seem to collect and store any of it). I did a quick clean up/inspection of the hives bodies and frames yesterday to get some of the mess cleaned up. At this point......
1. Was it dysentery that killed my bees(brown streaking and heads in the cells)?
2. Can/should I reuse the hives bodies, frames and drawn comb to hive a new package in, now in Spring?
3. Do the hive bodies and frames need to be cleaned/disenfected a specific way with specific cleaning materials?
4. With capped and uncapped honey, pollen, and granulated sugar left on and in the cells of the drawn comb does it need to be removed prior to reusing the frames and bodies or will the "new" package that I will install clean and "remodel" everything to their liking?
5. Is there any concerns that I should have installing a new package into a hive that I think died from dysentery?
I apologize for so many questions. Please answer any or all that you can. juzzerbee

Hacking own router
I have router at home that I changed the admin password for fear of being hacked since I live on a big neighborhood. Now I need to access the admin panel on the router to change some settings since my ISP provided me with a bigger bandwidth. I obviously have physical access to the router and can obviously connect wireless or via cable.
Normally a reset would be an option but not in this case since to actually have internet I had to configure the router. I had this written down but I lost the papper and now I don't remember how to reconfigure it since it has been done by a technician. I already asked my ISP to send me someone again but they charge a ridiculous amount for the second time.
I've been searching online and it seems you can get the admin password to a router using hydra or medusa. I downloaded backtrack 5 and have been searching online how to do using it but I never really got how to do it since I'm very new in linux. So I'm here asking for help.

- We had more yards.
- We had more first downs.
- We had a higher 3rd down conversion %
- We had less turnovers.
Yet we still lost because the best OC in the league has not been able to fix our struggles. The lack of touchdowns isn't a new problem for this team, it's been an ongoing one since KG's been here. Him and Eli are the only constants in that regard. For some reason, it's business as usual for our offense to suddenly suck when the defense has less field behind them to defend.
The defense doesn't get a pass, but only putting up 16 points against a bad defense is unacceptable.

While I appreciate the concept that sometimes you need to spend money to make money, I have a hard time grasping that big a jump -- 9 new planners and the sizable price tag.
I tend to agree with Ms. Duboc in using contact employees initially. The city can always add the staff down the road if there is long term need, but it's difficult to cut staff if the need for these projected employees flattens out or declines. Does the city manager really believe that there will be the same amount of work for all 9 five years from now?

After blowing $1.5mm on Perkin Will for a suboptimal ECR Downtown Specific Plan, at best a glorified survey taking amateur exercise, maybe we should hire away some of their staff, all qualified planners, with their 3 years head start on Menlo's issues
a resident of Menlo Park: other

Make your own bed:
why would we want to hire someone that has already shown they do "suboptimal" work?
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 12, 2013 at 7:58 am
What you have here is the no doubt what a new City Manager wants to do; that is build up his bureaucracy. The request is simply completely outrageous.
Is this the policy of this new Council? How many of them ran on the platform of building Menlo Park bigger and bigger.

contact employees = "consultants"
Ya get what ya pay for. Sometimes. But hardly ever with a "consultant"
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park

Hiring more staff on a permanent basis is insanity.
The council should resist the efforts of the permanent, unionized bureaucracy to expand itself.
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 12, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Um, isn't the solution to hire contractors on a project-by-project basis for each large project and bill the direct cost of the contractor to the applicant together with a small (10% to 15%) markup?
a resident of Menlo-Atherton High School

Planners in the planning dept are unionized?
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Feb 12, 2013 at 12:56 pm
If we need these people at all, which I doubt, then their compensation should be set at market level.
That means, start the job offer at minimum wage and no benefits. If you can hire qualified applicants, then you are done. If not, increase the offer in steps until you can hire. After this process, the taxpayer is actually getting good value for money spent (I know that may be a heretical notion to some.)

The hiring proposal presumes that Menlo Park will be in a constant state of development forever - that is crazy.
Do as Obvious and Lee Duboc suggest - hire contractors on a project-by-project basis for each large project and bill the direct cost of the contractor to the applicant together with a small (10% to 15%) markup?

I TOTALLY would love to have Joe Davis's company competing in my sector!
Oh, my. We would have the best employees and he would have a rep for the worst of the worst!
My HR people would be in heaven, choosing from the best, while the lightweights apply at Joe's company!
What industry are you in, Mr. Davis?
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Feb 12, 2013 at 1:38 pm
Davis has the right idea. There are plenty of smart people out there looking for work. And my own observation is that the correlation between remuneration and effort/intelligence is tenuous. $150k/person (I understand those are fully loaded costs) seems excessive. And why do they need $250k in furnishings? Unless you're ridiculously extravagant, you can get a state-of-the-art setup for about $5k/person. Or get the budget setup -- which is not a bad idea when you're spending other people's money -- for under $1,000.
Having managed a lot of super-talented and arguably underpaid people, I'll pit my crew against consultants' high-on-the-hog hirelings any day. And I have no doubt that we will do a better job and save the taxpayers money too!
This is the first time, EVER, that I recall MP openings being announced in a public forum. I've long wondered how those jobs were advertised. Maybe this means they will actually consider hiring residents?

Do your homework first-read the staff report. Then, look up the qualifications and job description for a municipal planner(not only do they have to be smart, they have to have specific analytical skills that can only be learned). ALmanac, this applies to you too--the proposal is NOT nine Planners, it is 3 new ones, making 2 temps permanent, the other 4 are 3 engineers and a building inspector. All of which I believe, from personal direct experience with these departments, are badly needed
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 12, 2013 at 3:07 pm
So where is the money going to be generated to pay for these new staff and their short and long term benefits? ALL of that should be bundled into fees that are charged out, but it's unlikely each will be totally billable, so the fees won't entirely pay for all the costs.
The City Manager and Council need a financial plan to demonstrate how this is going to work. Remember that the Specific Plan's Financial Impact Analysis concluded that the only way the Plan would provide financial benefits was if a hotel is built. Well, Stanford isn't interested. So the city is out the $1.5 million for the consultants and will be out even more every year for the product of their work.
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Feb 12, 2013 at 3:16 pm
@consultant, I am a businessman in the tech industry. I believe you may have overlooked the part of my comment where I said "qualified applicants."
If you believe in paying more money than the market price, then you will not be in business very long, because your customers will go elsewhere to someone who doesn't. Unless, of course, you work for a low-accountability sector like government, which freely spends other peoples' money with barely a care in the world.
a resident of Menlo Park: The Willows
on Feb 12, 2013 at 3:20 pm
Are they crazy? NINE full time additional planners? (More than doubling staff?) This makes absolutely no sense. Nobody I know in the private sector would make that move except an empire builder.
Hire contractors. To an earlier point, not 'consultants' but term contracted staff. They work for the City just not forever. Temp-to-perm can be an option for some as well
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 12, 2013 at 3:31 pm
Big part of the problem is the ridiculously cumbersome bureaucracy of the approval process. Focus on streamlining procedures, get back to basics. Consider staff needed vs. contractors vs. consultants on a project basis. Keep permanent staff to minimum.
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 12, 2013 at 8:30 pm
No! Just no! Insane expenditure to increase the bureaucracy. Menlo can't afford this& if it takes longer to get planning approvals, maybe that will slow some of the ill-advised projects from moving forward.
I agree with Joseph E Davis.

"If you believe in paying more money than the market price, then you will not be in business very long, "
Ask Google, Joe. And I don't me do a search, silly. Look at their business plan.
There are times when I overpay "paying more money than the market price" because having a superior group allows my company to kick your company's butt. Smarter, more talented, more experienced, faster and better equipped will beat your cheaper "qualified applicant" team often enough for me to pay and profit plenty from the choice.
My backers agree. Otherwise they wouldn't have shoveled money at me.
This isn't a overseas widget company. This is the valley.

Great strategy IF they are 'At Will' employees and you are not offerring those employees lifetime jobs and IF you have to make a profit.

Peter: of course they are. I'm just mocking Joesephs comparing this to a strategy for the private sector. A rather silly strategy for the private sector.
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Feb 14, 2013 at 3:22 pm
Remember they are taking the silly valley method: Ask for 10 when you really need 5. Makes it easier to negotiate down.
9 is quite the expansion, why not 4-5 hires and 4-5 outsourced?
Almost $2m to hire and buy furniture and reconfigure, when expected revenue is less than half of that? Anyone else the the math problem here?
a resident of another community
on Feb 15, 2013 at 9:37 am
I pointed this out in an earlier post, but I'll say it again. The proposal was not to add 9 planners to the Planning Department. It added 3 new positions and converted 2 currently filled temporary positions to permanent. The other 4 are in Building and Public Works. I personally don't feel qualified to offer an opinion on the debate as to whether permanent employees in these fields are better than contract employees-tho I certainly recognize the validity of the position that if the workload is expected to be temporary, then a hiring strategy to match would make sense. However, at the root of this issue is the reality that given the current and projected workload, these three departments are grossly understaffed. Over-worked people tend to have a higher percentage of human errors, bad for the City, and process cycle times are exacerbated, bad for the applicant (time is money). I'm glad the CC at least directed the City Manager to develop a scaled back ($300K) plan and didn't reject the need for more help out of hand.

A broad range of communications expertise is a vital skill for today's youth and tomorrow's adults. 4-H helps youth improve their quality of speech and association with others, whether one-on-one in a job interview or providing a keynote address in a banquet hall.
Many of us would love to work more physical activity into our schedules, but between responsibilities at work and home, it can be hard to squeeze it in. The 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week most health and wellness experts recommend may seem impossible.
Not helping matters were the short days and cold weather associated with winter. Fortunately, spring is upon us and with that comes longer days and warmer weather to encourage more outdoor physical activity.
The Henry County Cattleman's Association will be meeting 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 24, at the Henry County Extension Office. The program will include discussion of livestock marketing, Veterinarian's Report, FFA and 4-H Youth Report, FSA Update, Phase I (CAIP) Update, and an update on the proposal to provide a local butchery and meat processing facility in the region.
The meeting will again feature a sponsored beef supper. Please contact the Henry County Extension Office at 845-2811 by Friday to reserve your spot.

Almost all our agriculture enterprises are encompassed in research, teaching and education programs at one of Kentucky's two land grant institutions. While UK has the majority of the enterprises and the extension service, KSU has been working with some of the more 'non-traditional' types of farming, including goats, pawpaws and aquaculture. They have also had an award winning method of showing, demonstrating and teaching through the decade old 'Third Thursday Thing.'

Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The weeklong tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington's birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington's birthday.
Last week, all Kentucky Extension agents and specialists attended a training conference in Lexington. We were treated to a good history of the first 100 years of the Extension Service, and challenged to continue 'making a difference' in peoples' lives through relevant research-based information in the century ahead.
Growing Farm Profits is a training coming up Feb 1-3 in Lexington, which offers a great opportunity for Kentucky produce farmers. This is a farmer-to-farmer training that will inform participants about keeping records about their crops, their expenditures, their packing shed layouts and more in order to make themselves more profitable, more efficient and more competitive.

Students are required to follow the Academic Handbook and Code of Student Responsibility
The department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse (WRD), one of the largest departments at DePaul, is dedicated to studying the history and theory of literate activity and helping students excel as writers in a wide range of academic, professional, and public settings. WRD is home to DePaul's First-Year Writing program; in addition, the department offers the Minor in Professional Writing and the major in WRD. At the graduate level, the Master of Arts in WRD addresses writing in professional and technical contexts, the preparation of postsecondary teacher-scholars in writing, and the study of language for writers. The Combined BA/MA in WRD allows undergraduates to begin taking graduate courses in their senior year. The department's Master of Arts in New Media Studies prepares graduates to function as productive and responsible individuals in social contexts created by digital media through both critical interpretation and hands-on practice. The department also offers a Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), which prepares students to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) to adult learners in the United States or abroad. Undergraduates who choose the BA/MA option may complete the TESOL Certificate within the MA portion of the program.
The act of writing in general and each student's writing in particular are of central concern in all WRD courses. Theories of language, rhetoric (how to make effective choices as writers), and discourse (the way writing structures human activity) develop students' understanding of how the individual act of writing is bound up in broader contexts of institution and culture.
WRD is made up of more than 70 faculty members, all of whom teach at the undergraduate level. The department's Graduate Faculty comprises nationally recognized researchers in rhetorical theory and practice, composition theory, writing pedagogy, applied linguistics, second language writing, professional and technical writing, and writing program administration.

The "Let's shop Airbus" boutique at this year's Farnborough Airshow has been busy all week, with both professional attendees and aviation enthusiasts purchasing merchandise ranging from aircraft scale models to wearing apparel.
Among the best-sellers is A380 merchandise branded with Airbus' "Love at first flight" marketing campaign – led by inflatable versions of the 21st century flagship jetliner; while A380 models, key chains and drinking mugs also are popular.
The shop is giving away a 1:400th scale metal version of the A380 to a lucky winner every day, with eligibility for this drawing open to those who have made a purchase at the boutique.
In an encouraging sign for aviation's next generation, there is high interest in "Future pilot" T-shirts for children – with a majority being purchased for girls, according to Daniela Decaix, the Sponsorship & Merchandising Manager at Airbus.
Becoming increasingly popular are A320 items with Sharklets – the distinctive wingtip devices now offered on Airbus' single-aisle jetliner family to improve fuel consumption and enhance performance. "Let's shop Airbus" items available at Farnborough include an inflatable A320, complete with Sharklets and the shark-like smile that also is featured on Airbus' testbed aircraft currently flying with these aerodynamic improvements.
Shoppers with a more mission-oriented interest have been purchasing items related to Airbus Military's A400M multi-role airlifter. Providing inspiration for such acquisitions is the presence of an A400M flight test aircraft in the Farnborough Airshow static display area.

CollabNet is a leader in the application lifecycle management market space. But it sees its future as a development engine for the platform-as-a-service (dPaaS) market.
Today the company is launching a new strategy around cloud deployment and development with a new platform called CloudForge, what it calls a "dPaaS" intended to complement exissting PaaS and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings such as VMware Cloud Foundry, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Joyent. The "d" obviously stands for development. It plays off CollabNet's long history as a vendor of open-source enterprise development tools and its belief that enterprise cloud development represents a new and emerging market category.
Founded in 1999, CollabNet began as an open-source provider of developer tools T In 2000, the company created Subversion, an open-source, version control system. Over the years, it began offering application lifecycle management (ALM) tools. targets application lifecycle management for distributed software teams. TeamForge is an integrated Web-based platform that enables teams to work collaboratively through the various stages of the ALM lifecycle – plan, code, track, build and test, lab management, release, report, and collaborate. CloudForge is the next evolution. It brings the CollabNet collaboration environment to external infrastructures and platforms.
Three trends point to why CollabNet will focus on becoming a PaaS:
- Agile methodologies continue to gan enterprise acceptance.
- DevOps is changing IT. The need to automate operations is directly impacted by continuous development cycles that demand new approaches for application development, deployment and ongoing maintenance.
- The cloud is going hybrid, spanning public cloud and virtualized data centers.
And then there's the CIO, who in many organizations has started developing a cloud strategy, which is in conflict with the tools that developers have started using to deploy apps. The cloud is everywhere yet so is the existing IT infrastructure, policies and requirements for security and compliance.
CloudForge is intended to bridge on-premise systems with the cloud. It has a built-in activity stream, an app center and reporting features with a dashboard and role-based security. Managers may customize the development environment, invite people and work collaboratively. Users get access to CollabNet's tools and services, including Subversion and Git. The service is agnostic. It can be used to develop for the Web, mobile or enterprise. That makes it possible to manage multiple technology stacks on a single platform. It works with existing ALM tools.
The app center allows for the integration with SOASA for test and development; AWS, Joyent and Cloud foundry for deployment; New Relic for monitoring and zendesk for support. It provides API integration with TeamForge, its on-premise collaborative development environment. It also integrates with other platforms such as CloudBees.
This is the right move for CollabNet, said Mike West, vice president and distinguished analyst with Saugatuck Technology.
Enterprise IT managers realize that they need discipline beyond initial experimentations with PaaS, West said. More broadly, the organization needs to support teams, complex requirements and the subsequent evolution that will follow. Do it right and the new development processes can make an enterprise IT shop more nimble and give it the ability to do more. It gives the company the ability to do things others can't do.
"You are not just bringing in PaaS but what it can leverage," West said.
West said CollabNet has pulled together a cohesive platform. It's complete. It does not require a customer to use proprietary tools as would be the case with Windows Azure. The same is true with a provider like Progress Software. What about IBM? It's a possibility. They have a loyal following but do they have the integrated end-to-end solution?
"CollabNet has one of the more complete PaaS I have seen," West said.
CollabNet does look complete but we'll see how it fits with other IaaS offerings. That will be critical to its success. CloudFoundry and AWS are great starts and should give CollabNet some juice to feed its ecosystem.

Wouldn't you know it? At long last, I not only washed but also detailed, to the best of my ability, the car this past sunny weekend.
Not even a couple of days pass before the inevitable happens. Rain. All last night. And this morning.
Serves me right. The Wash Your Car Now gods are getting back at me for waiting too long. (Pity, the billions of bugs that met their fate on my front bumper. Alas, the caked-on muck and sludge atop the once proud clear coat.) Apparently, I haven't sacrificed enough personal time in order to surround myself with car wash products to appease the auto overlords.
What can I say? I HATE when it's time to wash my car, and don't get me started on waxing. There, I said it, even though I love and value cars and I'm always on top of the maintenance part of ownership.
But looks-wise, I've no problem and no shame driving around with, not the cute little "Wash Me" message, but the far more serious command of "Wash Your Car" menacingly hand-scrawled on my back windows by some neat-freak.
Evidently, my family could no longer stand the embarrassment either. So on Mother's Day (yes, last year), they presented me with a gift bucket filled with car wash products. For washing your car, drying your car, waxing your car, buffing your car, deodorizing your car. Yet not even one promise from my kids to help me put these Wash Your Car wonders into use. I looked with hope at my husband who gleefully said, "Waxing your car builds character," and who also quickly ducked as I threw my new microfiber sponge at him.
Back to this past weekend: I unearthed my 2012 Mother's Day gift. Prepared to defunk and degunk, my new car wash products were the arsenal at my side.
Mission "Wash Your Car – Waxing Your Car" was officially under way. The hardest part? Convincing myself that I know how to wash a car, and that waxing your car is a cinch. Not an easy feat when one's past cleaning method didn't even require car wash products. All I did was:
- Take the hose to it
- Then drive off
So I headed to the Advance Auto Parts Wash & Wax section of their website. I already had the car wash products. I just needed some tips. After a quick read on how to wash a car, waxing your car and more, my confidence grew. I transformed my old 2-step How To Wash A Car method into this better one:
- Wash and dry
- Surface prep
- Wax and shine
- Wheel and tire
- Interior
When I was done, it was a beautiful sight. All clean and looking sharp for those couple of days. Next time I get the urge to reach for my car wash products, I'll be sure to glance at the weather report first.
Editor's note: Text "Spring" to 36898 for great wash & wax deals now! Up to 5 messages per month; message & data rates may apply.

I think I'm being scammed... Does anybody recognize this suit/pics as belonging to anyone but a member named Butters. Any help is much appreciated.
I think I'm being scammed... Does anybody recognize this suit/pics as belonging to anyone but a member named Butters. Any help is much appreciated.
Thats the helmet and boots that he claims were his... Anyone know those?
so you're assuming somebody used someone elses photos to make it look like he is "selling" them!? wow.
Thats what I'm thinking, yes...
I saw those pics on ebay too. If thats what the're doing thats just rude. have you tried contacting them about it?
Which pics? The armor, JP, and EE3... Or the boots and helmet?
what the heck has this world come to man?
i saw all of that on there im pretty sure.
also... the blacking out of the face on the one picture? trying to keep who it is unable to be identified maybe? idk.
Yeah... Its weird as hell... I'm waiting until Paypal decides on the claim, and if I don't get my 100% of my cash back, I'm filing criminal charges against the owner of the Paypal account. One way or another, I'm getting my money, or goods, or getting someone a felony conviction. He/they decided to rip off the wrong person.
Yeah, I saw the thread about that new guy, and I was sorta iffy on em, especially the way the guys face is blacked out on that one pic.
I hope everything goes alright Devilstar, good luck with your refund!
Thats chest armor almost looks like SPF. Almost, not saying it is.
Well, i would think the blacking out of the face is very similar to anyone else here not wanting their face shown with their armour.
Now, a smart person just crops the pic, and doesnt black it out. Much simpler.
Heres the best thing you can do in the future. Dont send money from your BANK ACCOUNT, send it from your CREDIT CARD. With the bank account your at pay-pals mercy, and if he has removed the funds, your out of luck.
Its a lot easier to dispute a credit card claim. And the credit card company will do the dirty work of filing a fraud claim usually.
It was a cc... Waiting to see what happens with Paypal first. Plus, I don't think it qualifies as fraud to the cc company, because the cc pays Paypal, then Paypal pays him.
Not true...you can still do a chargeback on your CC. I've done it before. Usually the CC company will want details on the fraud and then they will rule in your favor and you'll get your money back. Paypal HATES it when you do it though, so use that method of recovering your money VERY sparingly.
I just called Mastercard... They need me to fill out a form and fax it in. :sigh:
What I really want to happen is for the stuff to show up on my door step, and then I can look like a jerk... A jerk that got a good deal on some stuff... lol... Such a pain dealing with this ****. I knew it stunk when I bought it, but it was a great 'deal', and the guys story kind of checked out. I mean, theres no way that he'd get away with it if I pressed criminal or civil charges, so I don't understand whats going on in his head. Seriously, it'd be two felony counts. Lets hope for his sake that I recover every dime; otherwise, I will press charges.
Thieves suck.
So what happened exactly?
Basically, I paid on the 31st... He said he would ship the next day, and send me a tracking number. Then I never heard from him again. Even after repeated posts, and PM's. I also stalked him through user profiles, both here and on the RPF. He has been online at both sites, with PM's and posts, and he hasn't responded AT ALL.
I've been over every scenario in my head... and can't think of a single excuse for him. All I can come up with is that he needed money so badly that he just doesn't care if he gets caught or not. And he will get caught - I paid to a verified Paypal account.
I know that it hasn't been that long... But the lack of communication and shady nature of the deal is enough for me to bag it before too much time passes. I paid him $560, and he can't even respond with a tracking number? Thats enough in my book to say that something is up.
Oh... and he had originally tried to get me to send a money order. This is the first and LAST time that I will buy anything from unestablished member... Unless they send the goods first.

Theres your proof that he needed money then. If he has a verified paypal account and told you to send him cash, then..whoa just lost my thought. oh yeah. if he said send him cash even tho he has paypal, he was trying to just get the money, and spend it on whatever it is he was trying to get and then there would be almost nothing for you to do about it.
(p.s. High School Mac keyboards suck)
I actually sort of have 3 threads running on it... His sale thread, a 'favor' thread in the sarlacc pit, and this one. Its kinda hard to miss... lol... :P
thats a load of ****! haha
this is why ebay sucks. any jack-... that wants to rip people off can and will do so by hijacking photo's for a false sale just to take your hard earned bills.
good luck getting your money back. make sure this loser learns his lesson

The Act assigned implementation responsibilities to the Secretary of the Interior. Staff support is provided by the National NAGPRA Program, including:
The National Park Service has compliance obligations for parks, separate from the National NAGPRA Program. National NAGPRA is the omnibus program, the constituent groups of which are all Federal agencies, museums that receive Federal funds, tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations and the public.

|A drug filled car
|Atlantic Quays, Portland Island, Liberty City
|Money received from crushing the car
|Snappy Dresser
Hot Wheels is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Leone Family Caporegime Vincenzo Cilli from his warehouse in the Atlantic Quays district Portland Island, Liberty City.
Toni drops by Vincenzo's warehouse in Atlantic Quays looking for more work. Vincenzo is at first on the phone to his mother and then says goodbye. Toni berates Vincenzo for his 'multi-tasking' with Cheryl with her head in his pants whilst on the phone to his mother, not showing her the proper respect. Vincenzo tells Toni about his drug filled Banshee that he needs picking up in order to supply more Leone-controlled drugs into the city.
Toni goes to the car and attempts to drive away, at which point the police enter the scene and begin to chase Toni, resulting in the player acquiring a 3-star wanted level. Toni manages to drive away from the police and uses the Pay 'n' Spray in Red Light District to lose the police. Toni drives the car to a Leone lock up in Portland View and receives a phone call from Vincenzo. Toni accuses Vincenzo of setting him up, while Vincenzo says he is ungrateful for the things his given him like a job and an apartment. The pair argue before Toni quits his job with Vincenzo. Toni then takes the car to the car crusher in Harwood and has the car crushed, to send a message to Vincenzo. Toni pockets the money from the car and the mission is complete.
Vincenzo Cilli: Sure, momma. I'll call you later.
Toni Cipriani: Vincenzo!
Vincenzo Cilli: Yeah of course, of course I'm being a good boy. Love you. Hey Cheryl, hey sweetheart, give it a rest now. Here now get out of here. A little trumpetto for you. Hey who loves you, angel?
Cheryl: You do Vinnie.
Toni Cipriani: Was that your mother on the phone?
Vincenzo Cilli: Sure.
Toni Cipriani: You're disgusting. Where's your respect?
Vincenzo Cilli: Respect? I call it multi-tasking, Antonio. What? You don't like a hot broad to suck you off?
Toni Cipriani: What?
Vincenzo Cilli: Cause if it's a problem, I can get Ray to help you out.
Toni Cipriani: Fuck you.
Vincenzo Cilli: I'm just busting your balls, relax. Listen, tough guy - I need you to do me a favor. I got girls crazy for blow; I got a car full of it parked in Trenton. Go pick it up... give me a call.
Toni Cipriani: What am I? Your driver? Screw you.
Vincenzo Cilli: Listen, listen, listen, listen... I'd do it myself, but I'm being watched by the feds. You know I'll look out for you. Trust me. Besides, remembers there's a hierarchy here, Capiche? Now be a good kid.
(Toni gets to the car and attempts to drive off in Vinnie's car)
LCPD Officer: Police ! Don't move asshole!
(Toni drives away from the police, losing them using the Pay 'n' Spray and receives a phone call from Vincenzo)
Vincenzo Cilli: Hey! Toni, how's the car?
Toni Cipriani: You son of a bitch, Vinnie! You set me up!
Vincenzo Cilli: Set you up? SET YOU UP? When you came back to the city you had nothing! NOTHING! I set you up alright, you ungrateful bastard! With an apartment and a job! And for that generosity I expect you to take a few risks now and then. I ain't a charity, pal, okay? And I ain't your sugar daddy. So the police were watching the car! Screw the police! When I tell you to do something, you do it. Capiche?
Toni Cipriani: Oh, yeah, I understand Vinnie. I understand that as long as I work for you, I get treated like a bitch. I was making scores while you were looking up girl's skirts. Have your bitch job back, 'boss'. I quit.
Vincenzo Cilli: Toni, you're making a big...
(Toni hangs up)
There is no monetary reward for completing the mission except the money from crushing the car. The mission Snappy Dresser for Ma Cipriani is unlocked after completing the mission.
- In Grand Theft Auto Advance, there is an another mission called Hot Wheels, which also consists of stealing a Banshee.
- Hot Wheels is a real life brand which manufactures die cast toy cars

Matterhorn - Monte Cervino Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Route Climbed: Lion Ridge Date Climbed: 22 September, 2005
|Tried the route in a beautiful day after some days of heavy snowfalls. There were no problems until Capanna di Carrel, and on the next morning we started very early (4 a.m.) and in the bright moonshine very quickly did the part of the route up to the Grand Corda. But after climbing it we found that the opposite side of the ridge by which we were supposed to climb Tindal was covered by thick and soft snow. This snow stopped our advance and after some hesitation we decided to come back, because it was really dangerous to continue the climb in such condition. It was a pity, as the weather was just unbelievable! Very warm, quite and clear.

|a mountain where you really feel isolated on the top, unlike mount blanc... quite strange.
the descent on the Hörnli is quite long, nearly as long as climbing it up, and in my view, the good solution is to make the traverse. Quite logical, beautiful, and enable to think about history and the Whymper-Carrel challenge...

|Route Climbed: Hornli Ridge Date Climbed: Sept 1, 2005
|Fine weather, very little route-finding problems, decent conditions made for a great climb. Watching another climber on the way up fall 600ft to his death led the climb to a sad mood all around though. A scary looking mountain that should be treated with extreme care, but MUST be climbed...
|Posted Sep 4, 2005 9:34 am
|Route Climbed: Hornli Date Climbed: 28th July 2005
|First attempt at the mountain, and was lucky to get a great break in some variable weather that week. Route was clear and not as busy as I expected. Lots of folk had turned round at the solvay so not a busy descent. Left at 4am, topped out at 8am, and back down by 12.

|Route Climbed: Hornli ridge Date Climbed: September 4, 2004
|Left the Hornli Hut a little after 4:30 and climbed the ridge solo in 3:50, topping out in strong winds and clear skies. Descended in about the same time, rappeling the slabs around the Solvay hut with the rope I carried. I cannot overstate the importance of scouting the lower parts of the route in daylight before a climb. There were some very lost parties doing crazy things in the dark that morning.
Having been turned back in mid August by collapsing weather it was very cool to complete the ascent on my second attempt.

|Route Climbed: Hornli Ridge (solo) Date Climbed: June 28, 2005
|Left the Hornli Hut at 4AM and reached the summit just before 8AM in strong wind and clear skies. The route was in very good condition and there were only about 15 people climbing, so I was able to move quickly (no issues with bottlenecking or rockfall). I scouted the first hour of the route the day before, so there were no routefinding issues in the dark. I actually had more routefinding problems on the descent, which took about 4.5 hours. When I left for the Alps this year, I hoped that I would get a chance to climb the Matterhorn. I didn't expect that I would climb it solo though, but it just turned out that way.

|a wonderful weather(0 degre celsius at 4500m)
We started from the Hornli hut at 4.45 am and reached the summit at 8.15.
I juste struggled a lit a bit at the end of the fixed ropes section leading to the summit snow slope:
The is a mobile ladder you have to hold from one hand and at the same time getting with the other a rope to lift you to the last terrasse.
My timing was wrong and i needed 3 trials!
That left me without strength in my forearms.
I realised then the route is very difficult to find and that you could easily get lost on the east face which could be fatal.
Indeed i witnessed a huge rocks fall on the east face and was told it is not unusual.
I needed 3 hours to climb down as you have to be very careful and keep your full concentration.
What a great experience!

| On leave from my army post in Rochefort-sur-mer, France, I took trains to Zermatt and hired a guide called Emil Julen. Emil had been recommended to me by my older brother who met him a year earlier when he was on leave from the army in Germany. The weather was overcast when I hiked up to the Schwartzsee Hotel where Emil was waiting for me. We shook hands and proceeded to hike up to the Belvedere hotel/hut just under the Matterhorn pyramid still lost in the cloudy overcast. Since my arrival in Zermatt I had yet to catch sight of the fabled peak rising immediately above us. We had supper and then I bedded down for the night under a big down quilt. I did not sleep well, worrying about the awesome undertaking I was to face the next day.
Emil roused me out of bed at four am. After a hot breakfast, he led me up to the base of the Matterhorn pyramid which loomed sharply and darkly against a starry sky. We roped up and began a steep ascent on the Hornli Ridge. Emil instructed me to follow his foot steps and to "walk on eggs." The next four hours were sheer terror as I had a hard time realizing where I was and what I was doing. Above the Salvoy Hut, we caught up with a Stanford coed and her guide. I suffered masculine humiliation when this woman advised me on how to climb and cautioned me not to lean in toward the rockface. However as the sun rose and we reached the shoulder of the Matterhorn, we left her behind as I more confidently followed Emil up the snow-covered shoulder of the Matterhorn to the famous overhang. Emil belayed me as I went hand over hand up the free-hanging fixed ropes onto the roof of the mountain. By ten o'clock we stood on the Swiss summit. The Stanford coed and her guide caught up with us. I photographed them and then handed my camera to Emil who took my picture as a I stood there in triumph. However his aim was poor and he cut off my legs. Thus I do not have a picture of me with my boots standing on the top of the Matterhorn.
The weather was cold and windy with only the highest summits of the Alps visible above a sea of clouds. We remained on the summit for less than a half hour before we undertook a very cautious descent. It took four hours for Emil to carefully lower me from ledge to ledge back down the Hornli ridge. Just above the Belvedere Hotel Emil and I parted company. Emil loped down the path to meet another client at the Schwarzsee Hotel. With poor weather the norm that summer, he was eager to get work whenever he could.
In Zermatt the next day I futilely searched for that assertive woman with whom I had shared the Matterhorn's summit, hoping to ignite a romance. Two days later I paid Emil his fee of forty dollars, all that a guide charged fifty years ago to pull a novice up the Matterhorn. Forty dollars then had the buying power of from four to eight hundred dollars or more now.
Back in Rochefort three weeks later. I saw an article in the Stars and Stripes, the armed forces tabloid, on how a guideless pair, a young American from Colorado and an Englishmen, had fallen to their deaths from the Matterhorn. When I revisited Zermatt four years later I pondered over their graves and expressed my gratitude to Emil for sparing me from a similar tragic fate.
Today on my den wall is a poster-size kodachrome photograph of the Tiger of the Alps framed by Arolla pines. It shows me standing in the center of the picture two days after I had stood on its peak. I was quite skinny then, being sixty pounds lighter than I am now at age seventy-seven (see it among the Matterhorn photos).
I wonder if Emil is still alive. In 1959 Emil told me he had lost a brother from a rockfall on the Dom de Mischabel. He must be in his early eighties by now (2010). I still have a photo of Emil with rope and ice ax peering upwards toward the mountain. His care and expertise helped me realize the crowning achievement of my youth, a climb of that supreme symbol of mountaineering.

A Letter from the President of the United States
March 18,2004
I send greetings to our country's teachers.
Education is the gateway to a hopeful future for America's children. America relies on good teachers to pass on the knowledge and skills our young people need to achieve their dreams.
My administration is committed to helping educators teach students to read and write, add and subtract. We also want to help our students make healthy choices and become responsible citizens. The Department of Education's Toolkit for Teachers contains information to help you take advantage of the resources of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
I commend America's teachers for your dedication to excellence in the classroom. By setting high standards and believing in each student, you make a real difference in their lives and in the life of our country. Laura joins me in sending our best wishes. May God bless you and your students, and may God continue to bless America.

City has not earned public's trust
The good news in Nisswa is the reinstatement of Craig Taylor as Nisswa's police chief after having been suspended Aug. 15 by Nisswa mayor Brian Lehman and city attorney Clyde Ahlquist. Unless you have been out of the universe, you know the rest of the story.
At the regular council meeting on Aug. 21 there was a considerable amount of comments made by several of the 70 or so people gathered at Nisswa City Hall as to why and how the council justified the action taken against Chief Taylor.
In response, Mayor Lehman read from a prepared statement saying, "I think we've had a lot of damage done. I don't know how long it will take to recover from the damage that has been done. I think the city council was given legal advice that I don't necessarily know was in the best interest of the city or actually legal." (There goes the attorney under the bus.)
Lehman commented that maybe the council needs to have some training as to how to address issues such as these. Lehman is in his seventh year on the council and in the position of mayor and the other council members have from three to five or six years. That is certainly plenty of time for on-the-job training, even if you don't have a clue as to how local city governments are run.
As is stated in the Minnesota Mayors Handbook: "One of the easiest ways mayors can promote citizen involvement is by modeling compliance with the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, both the letter of the law and the intent and other laws aimed at soliciting public input."
The real question I have is what drives people who ask to be elected to a position so as to serve and represent the citizens of a community and then assume they have the power to discharge an employee with 17 years of spotless service for no cause? And at the same time we find that other employees had their jobs threatened by Lehman. When findings such as these are exposed, is it any reason why the public finds it difficult to have faith in public officials?
Where is the honesty, the trust, the integrity and the leadership that the public expects and deserves?
I said it at the council meeting last week and I say it again ... It's time for you to resign.
(Harold Kraus, Nisswa, is a former Nisswa mayor and former Nisswa City Council member.)

I believe he is inquiring if Giants fans are admiring their new quarterback Bob Griffin and also asking if we're jealous that he is better than Eli. He then tells us to prepare our backsides for Redskins week.

Just because we have been busy fending off Cowturd trolls, doesn't mean we have forgotton about you cellar dwellers.I can't wait to watch the Eagles embarrass you guys on National TV so the Giants can be exposed once and for all as the frauds they are.

This is for Dee Lusby:
I've seen your posts concerning raising queens in an incubator. I have some questions.
First, what kid of incubator and at what temperature?
Second; You state that you take bees to the field in their "bottle". what kind of bottle, please?
You also state that the queens are fed in their bottle. How is this accomplished and what do you feed them?
When you put your bees in the incubator, are the queen cells already separated and put into their "bottles"?

Shaf was blue according to gaucho but earlier in the game.
Rel was role blocked and there was still a kill.
Everyone has been cleared in some way. Has anyone seen anything in any write up that would indicate someone switched sides? I also think there has to be a 3rd red, so I doubt there was a side switch. I have no idea why a role block wouldn't work.
Kraftster wrote:I'm not really sure, but I guess I like rel a little bit better than shaf just because his role seems odd and maybe there's something quirky there. Maybe only his blank shots can be blocked? I'm not sure. He seems to be a bit more eager to get a vote than shaf in the past few posts too, so, here goes nothing.
