Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "obstructed" section?
Certain seats at the back of the main floor are sold for half-price. The sight line from these seats is slightly obstructed by one of two 7-inch wide poles holding up the balcony. Check out this virtual tour to see for yourself.
Is the building handicap-accessible?
Mostly. Our elevator can be entered from street-level, just to the right of the building's main entrance. Select Level 2 for main floor and Level 3 for balcony.
On the main floor, seating involves descent of just one step, while the balcony consists of several. For persons unable to take stairs, we have comfortable seating and space for wheelchairs at the back of the balcony. Reserve in advance.
Does the Opera house offer assistive listening?
Yes. Our magnetic induction loop system broadcasts digital sound wirelessly to hearing aids. Hearing aids with a T-coil, simply push the button; otherwise, inquire at the box office about a head set.
Please note: due to the structural design of the Opera House, our loop system only transmits reliably on the orchestra level or in the first 2 rows of the balcony. We will do our best to accommodate anyone requiring use of the loop system who is unable to purchase seating in these areas.
Where is the best place to sit?
Everyone has their own preference; there's not a bad seat in the house. Sitting up close can be exciting, and the box seats, while offering an angled view, are fun and cushy. The middle of the balcony is the sweet spot for acoustic perfection.
I lost my tickets! What can I do?
Give us a call! We'll re-print them and have them back to you in no time.
Does the venue offer concessions?
While you can find food and drink at nearby pubs and restaurants, you won't find any in the building itself. We have to keep the City Hall environment clean and professional and the historic opera house pristine, which means we can't allow food or drink into the theatre.
Are the seats as hard as they say?
The original hand-carved wooden seats from 1901 are still going strong! Unfortunately, about 45 minutes into a performance, the charm of it wears off. Patrons are welcome to bring cushions from home or use our very own Stoughton Opera House cushions, which can be found in the box office.
Have another question?
Shoot us an email at email@example.com or give us a call at (608) 877-4400

The 7-1 shot was sent to the front fully seven fences out in the three-and-a-quarter-mile chase by his 22-year-old rider and had a dozen rivals breathing down his neck on the home turn.
But the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained King's Road stuck to his task bravely and though he was briefly headed by 20-1 chance Gingembre on the run-in he fought back splendidly to score by five lengths.
Another 15 lengths adrift in third was Irish raider Alexander Banquet (8-1), with Tony McCoy's mount Lady Cricket (8-1), just getting the better of Red Marauder for fourth.
Favourite Ad Hoc fell five fences from home when still in contention while the winner's well-fancied stable-companion Beau faded after leading until seven fences from home.Reuse content

Q:There is more than a "C" clip holding the top of the OE part to the frame. Tried a wrench to loosen the coupling but can't seem to break loose. This is, of course, after I removed the hard line from the coupling. Is the bracket coupling welded in?(I am speaking of the left side of the picture where the soft line meets the hard line at the frame, not the right side of the picture where the soft line is secured to the axle by grease fitting)

While MPs' have been busy claiming expenses for their second home, the voting public who own UK properties let to holidaymakers face losing favourable tax breaks that have existed since 1983.
© Channel 4
Proposals to end the tax concessions, worth £20 million a year, were buried in the small print of last April's Budget and are now coming to light. The move has been condemned by the Country Land and Business Association as a "hidden attack" on British tourism. Lettings agents say thousands of owners will be worse off and that the supply of holiday properties will shrink.
Under current rules, furnished holiday accommodation available for letting for 140 days a year and actually let for 70 days a year is treated by Revenue and Customs as a "business asset". Owners can offset expenses incurred in running the property, including mortgage interest payments, against their personal income. Owners can also claim tax relief against capital gains.
However, from April 2010 these tax privileges will be abolished because the Government says they are incompatible with European law.
"It's a big blow to many owners, particularly those with large mortgages who bought recently," according to Kate Stinchcombe, of website holidaylettings.co.uk.
'It's an ill-conceived idea that will have a negative long-term impact on the tourism industry'
Ironically, the tax bombshell comes at a time when demand for holiday accommodation in the UK is increasing as cost-conscious Britons choose to stay at home rather than holiday abroad.
Alan Taylor, director of Blue Chip Vacations, an agency representing 600 properties in the West Country, said the company's planned investment of £1 million this year was now on hold. "It's an ill-conceived idea that will have a negative long-term impact on the tourism industry," he said.
Agencies report that owners of country cottages and seaside flats can achieve rental returns of up to 15 per cent. In Newquay, a holiday home hotspot, two-bedroom properties sleeping up to six guests can be let for £1,300 a week in high season.
Meadowgate, a three-bedroom house on the Devon and Cornwall border owned by Kirstie Allsopp, the TV property expert, costs £2,000 a week for off-season lettings, rising to £2,500 in the peak summer months. The house, near the National Trust beach of Welcombe Mouth, is used by Allsopp in her Channel 4 show, Homemade Homes.

In November 1912 the Jewish League for Woman Suffrage (JLWS) was founded in England to "demand the Parliamentary Franchise for women on the same line as it is, or may be, granted to men, and to unite Jewish Suffragists of all shades of opinion for religious and educational activities". The only Jewish women's organisation in England at the time, it campaigned to improve the status of women in both British society and the Jewish community. Among their executive council was author and social reform activist Israel Zangwill, pictured here.
For anyone who missed it, curator Tom Harper went #FacebookLive in our #BLMaps exhibition this morning.
"What is labelled as 'madness' or 'illness' is in fact a response to an environment and an attempt to make sense of it, which is pretty rational. It is their way of coping with experiences that can be very overwhelming."

Londoners have always loved ice skating. This is an early medieval; ice skate made of animal bone. The bone skates would be tied secured with ties that would round the ankles. A stick with an iron spike was used to push off along the ice. In 1173 William FitzStephen described how Londoners went skating on polished bone skates like this when the marsh on the north of the city, known as the Moor or Moorfields, froze in winter.

A Wildlife Photographer of the Year award winner from #WPY52 for #JellyfishDay: Angel Fitor's The dying of the light won the Invertebrates category this year and here's the story behind his image: Struck by their uniqueness, 'like a living island,' Angel waited three years for a lone jelly on a calm night, when the sunset was at its best. A bubble of trapped air under the umbrella of this one, from being flipped in the wind, meant it couldn't dive and so wouldn't survive for long. Barrel, or dustbin-lid, jellyfish swarm in shallow summer waters, moving in from the open ocean to feed on coastal plankton blooms. As the season turns, cooling water and autumnal winds blowing across the lagoon of Mar Menor wipe out most of the barrel jellyfish that swam in to feed over the summer. See Angel's winning photograph at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, currently open at the Museum: http://bit.ly/NHM-Dying-of-the-light If you are a photographer contemplating entering the #WPY53 competition, note that the call for entries is already open and will close on 15 Dec 2016: http://bit.ly/NHM-WPY53-Call-for-entries

These iron age coins were excavated from the earth of Eel Pie Island, in Twickenham. They date from before the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD. They are known as 'potins', named for the alloy of bronze, tin and lead that they're made from. It's unknown when or exactly why this hoard was buried on the island and then abandoned for over two thousand years. During the 1960s Eel Pie Island was a major jazz and blues venue and has gained a cult status amongst music fans.

It's light weight, very comfortable, the color is just like the old WW2 photos. But, the arm slots are too narrow for me. I'm going to purchase a larger size next time. I will have no trouble finding a buyer for it.

Long after the kind words Nick had to say about me, I'm finally back. I've been on hiatus from almost everything for about a year, and knew that I definitely did not have the time and space to write anything I'd have thought worthy of this site. It was quite a pleasant surprise to finally have the chance to stop in and discover that both the story Joyride and I had been remembered (and praised) by someone here. Especially by the man responsible for this great place. Add in that Nick himself is an impressive and skilled writer, it is high praise to be so well remembered by him.
I've done no writing to speak of, other than occasional rants in the blogosphere when I needed an outlet to keep my head from exploding. I rather unexpectedly wound up becoming caregiver for two special-needs patients/relatives about a year ago, as well as acquiring a new boyfriend about the same time. It left me no time for anything else. Demands have lightened up lately, and I have a little free time again so I can hopefully get back to participating here.
I've been gone a long time, so it's very possible that the authors I remember being impressed by here are no longer around themselves. It's also very hard to choose only three! Nevertheless, here goes nothing!
First off, Jillian impressed me very much from the start. She has a beautiful way with words. She's wonderfully imaginative and inventive. And one of the things that really impressed me is that many times on the few stories we both participated in, she seemed nearly capable of reading my mind as to where I wanted to take something, or would anticipate me on a plot twist I wanted to throw in. She would either set me up perfectly to make that addition myself, or handle it on her own (and much more skillfully than I would have.)
Next, Amo1143 had one of the hottest stories around when I had to leave. Drop Point was a great concept to begin with, and that story took off like lightning! It was full of twists, turns, action, and thrills. If things ever seemed to be slowing down, Amo1143 always had just the right thing to add in the next part she wrote to get the whole thing charging along its rollercoaster ride of a plot all over again.
quatermass was one of the first I ran into here on Protagonize that wowed me with his writing. He wasn't the most prolific around here, but what he wrote was quality. The couple of times that he wrote the next section after mine, I always felt like he'd injected a lot of class and style that my own efforts were lacking, and raised the stories he participated in to a higher level.

Constance ANA, Ch2Mature
"I hate beer."
That being said to no one in particular, I kiss the glass, my jaw jumping at the sharp rush of alcohol, warm and rancorous like the rampant sting of anise. I let it tear its way down my throat and frown deeply.
The pub is quieter than usual. Only a handful of umber-faced workers have washed up, sitting curled around mugs and bottles with their chins and cheeks thoroughly sunken. They pull drink after drink, staring for entire half-hours at the blanched fliers on the walls and picking at table splinters. It's a genuine hole in the wall, but at least they don't play that damn song here. Instead there's this miserable, crackling blues tune limping about, and I could listen to it for days.
The bartender nods at my mug suggestively, as if I could possibly want more. I shake my palm at him and he leaves. I take another stabbing gulp, coming up for air with an arid cough.
"It's an acquired taste," someone says with a grand, galumphing laugh—the same laugh I heard in the factory.
A man of immense presence sidles up beside me, his face a symphony of wide and rosy features, his mouth beaming from within the bushels of his impressive beard. He swipes a flat hat off his head, freeing a light billow of pearly hair, and bows gallantly over the bar. "Name's Sam," his rumbles, straightening up and smiling at me with eyes the color of layered glass. "I'm new to town, and I was hoping I could join you."
I tap the side of my mug. "If you want."
Sam nods gratefully and settles into the next seat over, sighing with delight and flagging down the bartender. "A flask of your finest poison, please."
"I got beer," the tender deadpans, slamming an empty mug on the counter and sloshing it full of fulvous alcohol.
Sam just beams at him, pleasant in every sense of the word as he closes his thick and weathered fingers around the mug. "Perfect! Keep 'em coming!"
People are starting to glance at us. I can't help myself. "You really are new here, aren't you?"
"Well, new to Steel River, yeah," he says casually, sipping his beer like spring water. "I've been to New York before. I used to have family in Rye. Have you ever been to Rye, Miss…?"
"Constance. And no, I've never been to Rye."
Sam nods at my name and bowls on. "Beautiful place—just beautiful. Real woodsy. Lots of trees. Nothing like this sad dump." He throws a hand around the room, but I know he means the entire shipyard, metal and barren as it is. "Lots of nice houses, too. Big, beautiful houses with gardens and fountains and pools—have you ever been swimming, Constance?"
I vaguely remember the small beach off of Rogers Avenue, where I would kick around in the water for a few minutes before deciding I couldn't stand the grimy taste. My foster parents never took us to any pools. I decide to simplify things by saying "No" and pushing back the last few swigs of my beer. I must make a decidedly unhappy face, because Sam booms with laughter.
"It's none of my business, Miss Constance, but why are you drinking beer if you hate it so much?"
Miss? I haven't been called Miss since the Cataclysm, when my hair was cut off and my wardrobe reduced to androgynous work clothes. Most people just shout "lad" at me. To be called Miss didn't sound right anymore.
I lean away from the empty mug and slouch. "I don't know. It gets the job done." That's what my life is about, after all. Getting the job done. Getting in line, building those yokes, accepting a few bills of cash with a shut mouth and then drowning my objections. It's all minimal and dirty, but it gets the job done. The scraps I buy with the scraps I make keep body and soul together just a little longer—and that gets the job done.
"Aw, now, Miss Constance," Sam croons. "You're a tough young woman, aren't you?"
I shake my head noncommittally. "Ten years in Steel River is enough to make anybody tough."
A strange sort of strain seeps into Sam's buoyant features, and for a half a second he looks remarkably grim; but it comes and goes so quickly, it may easily have been my imagination.
"Yeah, I'll bet it is," he says dimly. "I'll bet it is."
He sits through two more beers in silence.
"I don't intend to stay here, Miss Constance," he says eventually.
I pinch my brows at him. "You'll be lucky if you can."
The turnover in Steel River is a brutal thing. People pass through like clippings of dirt on the wind—deposited among the shipyards for a time, an inevitably kicked up again. 'If you can't keep up, then we can't keep you'. That's what the foreman says, and that's what the foreman means. Anyone who can't pull his weight is dumped way out in the Ashlands—a cold and forsaken place where no man deserves to tread. I've never been, myself; but the stories aren't pretty, and I can hardly imagine a man of Sam's caliber shuffling around out there like a shaken corpse.
"It's all right, Miss Constance. I don't intend to wind up in the Ashlands, either."
This startles me out of my thoughts. Had I said something out loud? "How did you—?"
Sam laughs. "You have a very animated face, Miss Constance. …I know what happens to the folks who can't make it here, and it doesn't scare me. I can hold my own, don't you worry."
"Who says I was worried?"
He chuckles and brazenly prods his finger into my cheek. "Your face, Miss Constance. Your face. Tells everything about ya. You oughtta be more careful if you don't want people reading you like a book."
I buck my chin indignantly. "Keep your hands to yourself."
"Sorry, sorry."
Sam buries himself in his mug while I debate whether not I should just leave. It's getting on to be eleven, and Copper will wonder where I am. I pull a ball of scrunched bills out of my jacket and smooth five bucks out on the counter. The bartender appears promptly and swipes them away, giving me a solemn nod before returning to his business.
"You heading out, Miss Constance?" Sam asks, watching me rise from the barstool.
"Yeah," I mutter. "I got someone waiting up for me."
Sam sighs blissfully. "Ah, well, then I won't keep you a second longer." He slaps his knees and leans to one side so he can grin brightly at me. "See you tomorrow, Miss Constance."
I nod a bit awkwardly at the boisterous man I've just met, his pale green eyes shining brighter than the September sun. "See you tomorrow…Sam."

The Art Of Ordering Wine
Looking at the wine list is, in itself, challenging and potentially explosive for the wallet. The first thing you should keep in mind is that the list is split up by region, grape, house, and year. Chances are that you will sort them by price. And despite what anyone thinks, unless you have a wine cellar with an amazing collection, never pay more than $50 for a bottle of wine. You are going to be drinking it after all, not collecting it.
Second, make sure that you order by house, and not by grape. Ordering a Merlot demonstrates that you have an idea, but not a precise selection of what you want. You are thus giving your waiter the luxury of bringing something that suits his taste — financially and palate-wise.
Check the label
Something that many people rush, yet should not, is the process of checking the wine label that the waiter shows clients for approval. Many customers nod in agreement hastily, but keep in mind that this is his way of getting a final approval of your choice. Whether the waiter is inexperienced or has an incentive, if the bottle brought to you is not the one you chose but you approved it, well, guess what? You drink it, you buy it. So check the year, the house and hope that you will not be disappointed.
Testing the wine
Chances are that the sommelier will not serve the wine. Whoever ordered will get a small serving (unless it's house wine) to make sure that the wine is suitable. This is not a test to determine whether you like it or not — after all, you should know what it will taste like beforehand.
What you are supposed to determine is whether the cork is moist (proper storing of a bottle is horizontal — this makes the liquid inside the bottle touch the inside of the cork and maintain a more optimal taste and texture). No need to sniff the cork, simply squeeze it slightly to check for moistness.
Hold the wine glass by the stem and taste your selection. No need to spit it out, you are not at a wine testing event after all. Just determine whether or not the wine is sour. But make sure that you have a good understanding of what to expect: i.e. the Zinfandel is sweeter than the Cabernet, this is normal.
salute!Now that you know what needs to be done, dress for success, grab your gorgeous woman and head to your nearest upper class restaurant. Order your favorite bottle, approve it, squeeze the cork, and give it the good old taste test. Knowing your wine is fine and dandy, but drinking it with pleasure and appreciation brings you that much closer to being a wine connoisseur. Cheers.

The Detroit Tigers in the World Series look like the New York Yankees in the ALCS. But all that is about to change. It should change, anyway. The Tigers are home, they're facing right-handed pitching and they no longer can use their five-day layoff as an excuse. The simple way to look at this, as manager Jim Leyland said Friday, is that the Tigers are two games back with five to play, and playing the team they need to catch. Sounds simple, and it is -- if the Tigers follow this four-step program: 1. Start hitting. Well, duh. The supposedly mighty Tigers are averaging 3.55 runs per game in the postseason, nearly a full run below their regular-season average. Such a dropoff is not unusual in the playoffs, but the Tigers rely on their offense -- specifically, their power -- more than most clubs. The good news is, the Tigers will gain two advantages now that the Series has moved to Detroit: The designated hitter will return in the American League park, and the Giants' next two s...

Who you gonna call? If you're selectively sanctifying your childhood and possibly motivated by misogyny, the answer is: Reddit. As writer and editor Maggie Serota points out on Twitter, certain users of the aggregation hub have been plotting ways to tank the new gender-flipped Ghostbusters reboot. Tactics apparently include filtering out positive reviews and spreading word on social media that those reviews were purchased by the studio. Strange how a movie about paranormal activity can bring out the real ghouls online. JB

John Oliver wants you to contact the FCC to support net neutrality again
John Oliver has made net neutrality his pet project. After dedicating a segment of Last Week Tonight to the FCC's proposed rollbacks of Obama-era safeguards of net neutrality, he directed viewers to the FCC's website to comment in support of an open internet. He then alerted viewers to the fact that he FCC had stopped taking comments and now he wants people to know that it's once again time to head to GoFCCYourself.com and tell the FCC you support net neutrality. The FCC is accepting comments until August 16 and will make a final decision some time after that.
Hopefully the FCC's website will be able to withstand the flow of comments this time. Previously it claimed its website was shut down from a DDoS attack or perhaps spambots, which some people doubt. Ars Technica has a good breakdown of the arguments.
The FCC is back open to public comment on net neutrality. You can write in to support strong title two backing here: https://t.co/8HOKHRAqZx— Last Week Tonight (@LastWeekTonight) May 23, 2017
The Fashion Tech Forum goes to L.A., America's new fashion capital
The Fashion Tech Forum is an annual gathering of business leaders to discuss the future of the fashion industry. In the past, it's been held in New York, but in a telling move, the event is being held in L.A. this year on October 6th.
Fashion startups like Buck Mason and Reformation have been increasingly making L.A. their home, and the garment district in L.A. is a thriving hub of American clothing manufacturing. Future-thinking designers like Rebecca Minkoff and Tommy Hilfiger have also eschewed New York Fashion Week in favor of alternative events in L.A.
Viome is a new service analyzes your spit and poop to help you not get sick
Naveen Jain, founder of space startup Moon Express, has big ideas about how to change the future of health care. Rather than improve medicine and hospitals that treat people when they get sick, he wants to better understand why we get sick in the first place. And the answer, it seems, can be found in our gut, which plays host to 100 trillion microbes.
His newest company, Viome, is a service that allows people to do at-home tests that collect data about their gut, then receive personalized recommendations about diet and exercise through an app that will help optimize energy and well-being, while maintaining a healthy weight. The company is led by a team of AI experts, doctors, research scientists. ES
Floyd wants to give Ikea a run for its money with American-made, non-disposable furniture
Let's face it: we have a love-hate relationship with Ikea. Young urbanites, who are constantly moving, need cheap furniture whenever they move to a new pad; but the quality is not always great, which is okay since the furniture is meant to be temporary and disposable.
Enter Floyd, a Detroit-based furniture company founded in 2013 that has been growing more than two and half times a year since it launch. It creates similarly designed modular pieces, but unlike Ikea, they are designed to be collapsed and rebuilt many times (no tools required!), so you can take your stuff from apartment to apartment. Floyd launched with a few key pieces: a bed, a desk, a shelf. Today, they're expanding their selection with an attachable birch headboard. And there are more pieces in the pipeline coming out in 2017. ES
Jeff Bezos just gave $1 million to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
The Amazon founder's $1 million gift was the largest in the organization's 46-year history, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said in a statement. The organization provides pro bono legal representation and other legal resources to protect the rights of journalists in the United States. "This generous gift will help us continue to grow, to offer our legal and educational support to many more news organizations, and to expand our services to independent journalists, nonprofit newsrooms, and documentary filmmakers," Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press chairman David Boardman said.

Uber's general counsel for EMEA just bailed
Jim Callaghan, who was Uber's general counsel for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, has departed the company, Recode reports. His departure is just the latest in an exodus of execs from the company in recent months, including its president, senior vice president of engineering, vice president of global vehicle programs, head of communications, vice president of growth, and head of AI Labs. Callaghan's departure comes after the company was deemed a transportation service—and not just a digital service—by a European court, and thus will have to comply with safety laws that apply to the taxi industry.

Apple is working on a 5G iPhone
But don't expect the advanced cellular technology in the iPhone 8, due this year, or even the iPhone due in 2018. That's because, at the earliest, 5G networks won't begin to roll out in most of the world until 2019. Still, that's only two years away, so the fact that Apple has filed for an experimental license from the FCC to use 5G tech (via Business Insider) shouldn't come as too much of a shock. MG
A SpaceX technician says the company falsified rocket-building tests
Ex-SpaceX employee Jason Blasdell said he observed that managers were pressuring technicians to sign off on tests of Falcon 9 and Dragon rocket parts that hadn't actually been tested according to protocol, reports Bloomberg. He even went so far as to have a discussion with Elon Musk about the falsified tests and, as a result, he alleges, his concerns were never addressed, and instead he was fired by the company. Blasdell is currently suing the company for wrongful termination in a California court. MG
Now you can control your Tesla via a chatbot named Elon
Sahas Katta, the CEO of a startup called Smartcar, has been thinking about inventive ways to control Tesla's cars for a while. A few years ago, he created a Tesla app for Google's ill-fated Google Glass. And now he's back with Teslabot, which lets people lucky enough to own a Tesla S or X talk to their car via Facebook Messenger.
Teslabot lets you do anything from unlock the doors to vent the sunroof to monitor charging. And Katta gave his bot a human name that—though uncommon among actual humans—is ideal for this particular product: "Elon."
Embrace.io's new platform helps mobile devs spot issues before losing customers
Currently developers get crash reports when an app fails while you're using it, but they don't always know when something else happens—say the app freezes, there's a tiny glitch, or just a bad design that's making you ditch the app for something else. A new platform launching today, Embrace.io, helps diagnose those issues before they result in lost customers.
Now, most developers use a combination of crash reports, analytics, and logging to figure out where things have gone wrong. A complicated process with mixed results. Embrace.io is instead a unified platform that turns data into solutions that developers can use to create better-performing apps, freeing up time typically spent troubleshooting for writing actual code.
The first platform to provide performance feedback for mobile, along with its launch it also announced $2.5 million in seed funding led by Eniac Ventures, with investments from the Chernin Group, Techstars Ventures, and BoxGroup. Developers can sign up for the limited release on the company's website. EP
Bug in Twitter's ads code allowed hackers to tweet from anyone's account
Much as some of us might wish, it doesn't explain Donald Trump's tweets, but there's a chance it could explain irregularities in tweets from any number of other Twitter accounts.
As former appsec tech lead for twitter, I'll just say I'm not shocked this was in code from the ads team. https://t.co/TZRYvmuXfj— Charlie Miller (@0xcharlie) May 23, 2017
It, in this case, is a bug that would have allowed hackers to post from anyone's account–even Trump's, and even before Trump added two-factor authentication. According to Motherboard, code from Twitter's ads team had introduced the vulnerability. Discovered in February by someone who goes by the nickname kedrisch, the flaw "in the handling of Twitter Ads Studio requests…allowed an attacker to tweet as any user. By sharing media with a victim user and then modifying the post request with the victim's account ID the media in question would be posted from the victim's account. This bug was patched immediately after being triaged and no evidence was found of the flaw being exploited by anyone other than the reporter." Twitter seems to have paid kedrisch a bounty of $7,500 for discovering the bug.

Va. moving to restore rights to nonviolent felons
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia has opened the door to an estimated 100,000 nonviolent felons to regain their right to vote.
The state outlined the steps Monday each eligible felon would have to take to cast a ballot, serve as a juror or hold political office.
Gov. Bob McDonnell announced the mass restoration of civil rights in May. He said his administration's goal is to restore as many nonviolent felons' rights as possible through the end of his administration.
The task, however, will not be an easy one.

The world, " The way of Life"Mature
All I do is think and think so I wanted to write it to the world to see what you think yourself. I don't exactly know how to write it because its all just circling in my head multiple times... so excuse me if I get off subject.....
I look around.... at this hell we all call earth, and see a lot of sinful things that is both unnecessary and undescriptive. I'm not saying that i'm a perfect man but this is just nonsense for no apparent reason.
I look around and notice these prostitutes that fuck for money and men that hit and run. But thats not what i'm really talking about....
People in this world judges others for what they look like, how they act, what they do, and so forth and so on.
Now, for the smokers in the world...... even the non smokers.....
Why do you smoke? From stress? Because it keeps you calm? Why are you stressed? Why do you want to be calm? Is it because of these fools in the world that make you angry? Or problems that you have to face from your bills or other things? Because it's not the world at all... Its just the people in it... The world is treated unfairly and the chaos is starting to be uncontrolable. I can't do anything about it because i'm only 15 years old... But even if I was grown I couldnt be able to do anything.
This world is so messed up.
Who invented Porn? Who came up with the Idea?
Why was Porn even made? For entertainment?
This world is so messed up[ in fact that if a random man was to walk up to a girl stranger and ask her to suck his dick she would do it if she found him physically attractive enough.
The same goes for us men.
When we mostly see a sexy girl walk down the street we would want to go and talk to her. If you found her nice and sweet you would try to see if you could have sex with her because these thoughts just randomly pops up in your head out of nowhere by the works of Satan. We see a girl with a big booty we would want to smack it or squeeze or maybe even fuck it. Thats how God made us and it says that in the bible....
I'm not saying that all men do this but most of us do. I know I do, I mean c'mon. get a breast job from a sexy girl across the street from my house because im horny and aroused and tried to score with her and succeeded. Then got her pregnant and left her because I didnt want to have a child.
Im not saying that happened. And if I did get get a girl pregnant on accident I would stay and help take care of the child...
you know.
I don't even know what i'm talking about anymore.

"This doctor is my angel for helping me achieve my dream"
About: Tameside General Hospital / Maternity care Tameside General Hospital Maternity care OL6 9RW
Posted by Finallyamum (as ),
I was always told after turning 25 I wouldn't be able to have a child as I am paralysed and unable to walk at all. But thanks to Dr Gondane and her team of midwives and diabetic specialists I was able to have a beautiful bouncing baby boy and he is perfectly healthy and happy! I consider Dr Gondane my angel for helping me achieve my dream! I'll be forever grateful and in her debt as I was sure before meeting her I wouldn't have a child and it crushed me completely! Thank you so much for everything Dr Gondane you will always be welcome to see us and come to any special days for my boy!

Brayton (10) just edged Alessi for the holeshot.
Oh no, not again!

Dungey then dealt with some pressure from Millsaps, and the points leader showed him a wheel a few times. But Dungey found his groove and pulled away, and from there, he went on to win his first main event of the season.
Meanwhile, Millsaps had to deal with pressure from James Stewart (Yoshimura Suzuki) and Stewart passed him for second. Just five laps into the main event, Stewart was about three seconds behind Dungey, but instead of making a run for the lead, Dungey continued to pull away, and Stewart then had to deal with Millsaps again. Justin Barcia (Team Honda Muscle Milk) was also right there in fourth. Millsaps eventually worked his way back around Stewart when Stewart bobbled, and then Stewart bobbled again, and Barcia moved into third. With about three laps to go, Millsaps went off the track and nearly crashed, allowing Barcia to close on him. But the rookie couldn't get close enough to make a pass, and Millsaps took his second-straight second-place finish. Barcia, though, was happy to collect third after two-straight crash-induced DNFs.
Next came Stewart in fourth, who like Barcia, was just happy to log 20 laps near the front in what has turned out to be a rough season.
Dungey has now won five SX races on his KTM 450. He's up to second in points, too.
Millsaps and Stewart battled for much of the main, Millsaps came out on top.
Justin Barcia said his goal was just to do 20 laps. He did them well and finished third.
Rough night for the champ, who took eighth.
Cudby photos
Reed (TwoTwo Motorsports Honda) came back for fifth. In the third turn, he and Justin Brayton tangled and went down, leading to a pileup. Both Reed and Brayton said it was just a racing incident, and they both tried to dive down to the inside. From there, they both had their work cut out for them, and Reed salvaged fifth (and was happy with his riding) while Brayton (JGR Toyota/Yamaha) was tenth.
Oh, and what about Ryan Villopoto, the winner of the last two races? The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider was held up in the third-turn melee, and then crashed in a corner coming through traffic. He was then run into by Alessi, who was right behind him. Villopoto literally threw Alessi's bike off of his, but found himself in 16th. He rallied back to eighth. In front of him came Andrew Short, who took sixth, and Trey Canard (Team Honda Muscle Milk) who had several crashes and mistakes but still salvaged seventh.
Behind Villopoto, in ninth, came Dodge Sycuan Suzuki's Broc Tickle, and Brayton. Overall, it was a crazy and crash-filled night.
The 250 class was a little less dramatic. Joey Savatgy (J-Star JDR KTM) holeshot but Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen, points leader and winner of the last race in Oakland, started second. Roczen quickly got Nelson for the lead, and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Martin Davalos took over second. Meanwhile Eli Tomac, winner of the first three races this season and the defending 250 West Champion, was about 11th early.
Davalos kept the heat on Roczen for half of the race, staying within 1.5 seconds of him. Down the stretch, though, Roczen pulled away to take his second-straight win and further stretch his points lead. Davalos took second and Tomac scratched out a third despite the bad start. Kyle Cunningham (Star Yamaha) and Jason Anderson (Rockstar Energy Racing) came through the pack to round out the top five.
Kenny boy does it again. Next stop? Victory meal at In and Out burger. Perhaps served on a red plate.
Davalos salvaged something for Pro Circuit. Teammate Tyla Rattray didn't make the main.
Tomac needed a good start but didn't get one. He's down 20 points to Roczen, but there are four races to go.

Treasure Hunt (2 of 4) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.Treasure Hunt (2 of 4)
Series: The Treasure Principle
Jeff Strite
Matthew 13:44
OPEN: Back in 1905, there was baseball game at Salt Lake City, Utah. The Rhyolites were playing the Beattys and the Beattys were up to bat. The pitcher threw the ball, the batter swung - and the ball rocketed toward 1st base.
The 1st baseman was a man named William Giffiths, and as he saw the ball coming his way, he was amazed to see it ricochet off a small stone and landing in his glove. He beat the runner to first easily.
The little stone had given Griffiths a luck break, but he decided it had no business on the playing field, so he walked over and picked it up. He started to raise his hand to throw it off the field when something caught his eye. He took a careful look at the stone and recognized free gold in it. Then he quietly slipped it into his pocket and went on with the game.
That evening, he returned to the ball park with a lantern and spent an hour scratching around in the soil until had accumulated a bucketful of rocks. By morning he knew that those rocks assayed at more than $900 a ton.
He called in two friends and with them quietly bought the ball park.
The mine was called First Base, and the first shaft entered paying ore at a depth of 33 feet. And Infielder Griffiths soon found himself a very wealthy man. (The Saturday Evening Post July/Aug 2000 H. Allen Smith and Ira L. Smith)
APPLY: That would be nice, wouldn't it?
In my files I have an anonymous quote:
''Lord, give me the strength to change the things I can,
the grace to accept the things I cannot,
and a great big bag of money.''
Now, I personally have nothing against money… making money, having money, rolling in money. But I do get a little itchy about people who make obtaining wealth - the goal of their lives.
ILLUS: This past week USA Today told of a Pew Research Center poll that asked people what their life goals were. According to this poll 81% of young adults between the ages of 18 a ...

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Bill's Towing1210 S Sprague Ave Tacoma, Washington United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On May 13, 2011, I left my 1985 bmw 325 in front of the house I am currently renting around 2pm as I was driving back to Chicago in friend's car(have friend as witness). My good friends/roomates would be returning 10 days later after I left it there, but had gone home for family and to gather belongings. Two days later the car was flagged for abandonment, breaking both clauses of the tacoma auto abandonment policy.
Tacoma Municipal Code Section 11.05.230 prohibits parking or storage of any type of vehicle on City right of way for more than 7 days. An abandoned vehicle is a vehicle that has been left on city streets for an extended period and may have one or more of the following conditions.
* Is unused or inoperable
* In a state of disrepair
* Major components missing
* Has flat tires,
* Has expired or missing license plates
The car was in amazing condition, barely 125k on it, fresh paint, and reupholstered interior, but it was obviously a student car. Had Michigan plates with U of M emblem as it was registered in Michigan, and also a U of Puget Sound parking permit. After car was flagged 5 days ahead of the law, it was picked up by Bill's Towing a week later.
I spoke with the officer who flagged it and he said it was not obstructing any laws, nor did it look abandoned but was simply doing his job (didn't know if it was there 15 min or 15 days). Now this might seem passable to some extent, but what did it was the one notification, which was sent to my campus mailbox. Once again, the car is registered in Michigan, any tow company, by law, must notify the address the car is registered to, not the one that won't be checked for 3 months.
Now two laws dodged may seem to some who really give the benefit of the doubt kind of passable, but again I received no notification until July 9th after I had gotten back from camping for a while from my roomates asking me where my car was. At this moment my heart sank. I called a couple other friends, whom I had given keys to see if they moved it, but nobody knew what had happened. I started calling every tow company in tacoma and finally came upon Bill's and the female manager told me she had seen the car....but had sold it two days prior to a scrapyard after keeping it past the thirty day policy. Needless to say, I flipped a sh*^. I demanded she give me the name of the scrapyard, but all I got was her repeating dodgy policy, stating that only she could call the company and it was the only if the buyer so willed to call me back that I could speak to him.
I told her to call me back when she found out his intentions. Not surprisingly, I received no call for nearly an hour and began calling each scrapyard I could, eventually tracing it to one about 70 miles away (Lacey Auto Recycling), who have been known to part out cars, not just scrap. They told me yes, they had bought the car from Bill's at auction, but just the car...no parts...They couldn't give me much info, but the man i spoke with even said he didn't know why he had to crush such a nice car ("That's the nature of the beast man").
I have a lingering suspicion that those parts didn't just get thrown away, and that a bump in a paycheck may have been in it for whoever nabbed the car. I called the woman at Bill's back and when I told her I talked to the guy she paused and said..."So What?!" I told her this whole situation didn't sound too legal, and she started scrambling reciting policy, I also asked why I received no call about the car as I would have gladly payed the storage, towing, and fees they could throw at me, to which I heard "Cause' we don't call...son." Every other towing company I have dealt with has called my phone or sent it to the proper address, as that is what registration is for, to keep track of it.
I loved this car more than I can ever say. My mother bought it new in stuttgart in 1985 and ferried it back to Chicago. I have had some of the best memories of my life come from that car and would have done anything to keep it had I known in advance. I hate to think that something that meant so much to me was going to be recycled steel and beer money for the towing crew, and in the shadiest way possible. I have broken laws here I can work with in small claims court and am currently in contact with an attorney in Seattle, but if anybody has any info or a similar story, please let me know as a class action suit of 2 or three people will more than likely pull in a large sum of cash from the company and city. IF ANYONE HAS BEEN SWINDLED BY BILL'S TOWING, PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH ME FOR A BIT OF JUSTICE!
