Studio Signs For Three More Spider-Man Movies
Reported by Jay Cochran - 2007.05.06
Webbed superhero SPIDER-MAN will appear in at least three more movies, Sony Pictures have confirmed.
The studio's chief executive Michael Lynton said after the box office success of the latest release Spider-Man 3, there is a huge audience waiting to see the story continue.
Lynton tells BBC News, "Everybody has every intention of making a fourth, a fifth and a sixth and on and on. "(We'll make) as many as we can make good stories for." Spider-Man 3 entered the record books as the most successful new release ever after taking $148 million (£74 million) in its opening weekend.
Lynton enthuses, "I think it had a lot to do with timing - the fact we were the first out in the summer.
"I think it had to do with the fact that the movie had a universal appeal, it had a broader appeal than the second movie, it attracted a family audience and brought the family audience back. "There were many factors that contributed to it, and there's a part that you just put down to 'I don't know'."
Lynton did not confirm whether director Sam Raimi or Tobey Maguire would be coming back for the fourth installment and beyond.

well I read both of your stories dont get me wrong there are both good I hope you can update and when it get's towards that point finish your sequel./ ok im not trying to sound like a jerk or start something but Question this is a AU after all and this is a FANFICTION story so I recall the author doesn't have to make the titans base on just by the original cartoon and the comic counter part/ as that said Give us
| Guest chapter 21 . 7/13/2013
Eh overall I like your story but I don't want to sound selfish or anything but to my taste/opinion the chapters were short but I don't know. It's probably just me. Rofl it might just be that I am a fast reader. but like I said overall good story. Oh ya since Dick never became robin I guess is pretty obvious the Teen Titans didn't exist but I guess
its made sense though .
| Give us Barabbus chapter 9 . 3/21/2013
| Question chapter 3 . 3/21/2013
Sooooo, is this of the DC comics Teen Titans, or the TV show. At first I was pretty sure you were going for the TV show due to the similar characters, but then you made Terra evil. While sometimes manipulative, in the TV show she was mainly just confused and feeling very rejected. She also saved everyone from Slade. She WAS evil in the comic series on the other hand. In that universe, she was a total sadist and only wanted pain and suffering to befall the Titans. Now, I have absolutely no problems with making this fanfic based on the comics or the show, but you need to be more clear. Just don't jump between the two unless you explain that that's what you're intending to do. P.S. you should've given Cyborg a prosthetic arm!
| Morphalisanis Morph chapter 21 . 9/11/2011

Series: Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries Volume: 2
410 pages, Figs, tabs
Recent decades have witnessed strong declines in fish stocks around the globe, amid growing concerns about the impact of fisheries on marine and freshwater biodiversity. Fisheries biologists and managers are therefore increasingly asking about aspects of ecology, behaviour, evolution and biodiversity that were traditionally studied by people working in very separate fields. This has highlighted the need to work more closely together, in order to help ensure future success both in management and conservation. The Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries has been written by an international team of scientists and practitioners, to provide an overview of the biology of freshwater and marine fish species together with the science that supports fisheries management and conservation. This volume, subtitled Fisheries, focuses on a wide range of topics, including the history of fisheries science, methods of capture, marketing, economics, major models used in stock assessments and forecasting, ecosystem impacts, marine protected areas and conservation. It builds on material in Volume 1, Fish Biology, which ranges from phylogenetics and biogeography to physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics, foraging, reproductive behaviour and community ecology. Together, these books present the state of the art in our understanding of fish biology and fisheries and will serve as valuable references for undergraduates and graduates looking for a comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fisheries science. They will also be useful to researchers who need up-to-date reviews of topics that impinge on their fields, and decision makers who need to appreciate the scientific background for management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
...this work is useful as a current, state-of-the-art review source in its field. Library Journal, February 2003 "A must for any library maintaining holdings on fish, fisheries, fish management, or conservation. It is the best review of the state of the art available and should be mandatory review reading for fish managers everywhere." G L Hendrickson, Humboldt State University for CHOICE, May 2003 "...an excellent starting point for graduate students, and a good handbook to have in a reference collection that stresses fish biology and fisheries management." E-Streams, June 2003 "This will be an invaluable reference tool for students, researchers and practitioners working in the fields of fish biology and fisheries." Reference Reviews, Volume 17 (5), July 2003

It's a cloudy morning, and there were many other places to choose from, but they still decide to meet here. The Kolkata river bank near the Howrah Bridge looks depressing and terribly crowded, buses filled with people, many sitting on its roofs.Yellow and black taxis and cars blaring ugly horns , inching their way into the traffic. Looks like it might rain and none of them have brought umbrellas.
The banker's son is absent. The bus stands are adorned with banners from Star Plus, the K-titled soap opera which is doing the rounds nowadays. The three of them observe their surroundings keenly, transfixed and fascinated. Nothing much has really changed. The same angry red messages from a million years ago; a little washed up though. A few striking looking bridges in the horizon across the Ganges that weren't there before.
Forty years of film separates yesterday and today.
Blockbusters and sequels, hip gangster movies and Steven Spielberg. The brat pack collective of humongous science fiction franchises. Back home, uber-lavish song and dance sequences and coming-of-age films. There's too much to reminisce, really. Unable to find where something begins, and where it ends, they walk on trodden ground, avoiding the traffic carefully.
They're as old and fat as they expected themselves to be; and married, with kids, even grandchildren. The meeting happened through a series of emails, which gradually became phone calls, and then, Calcutta. It wasn't really difficult at all. The tea tastes nowhere like it used to be, but the Ganges is still there, people bathing on its ghats, washing their white clothes, as always.
They have to meet relatives in Tollygunge and New Alipore and SaltLake. They make a plan for a small trip to Chowringhee, to those theatres. Wonder if they are still there.
Pretty soon, the talk turns to film; no one's made one. Three boys grew up to become an electrical engineer, a marketing executive and a job consultant.The enthusiasm hasn't faded an inch, though – virulent talks of what went on in the last few decades. The two horror buffs recall watching Cronenberg for days on end, DVDs of some interesting new chaps, David Lynch and James Cameron and Tarantino, and Altman, and the extremely clever David Fincher.
This new DVD and internet thing is troubling; it could quite mean the death of cinema as they know it.
When talks turn towards home, they hardly have names. Sen's and Ghatak's films are still great though, and Ray's last film, The Stranger, even though not much watched, was still brilliant. They get a bit sad thinking about people who have died; Kurosawa and Welles, Tarkovsky and Ray, almost all in one go. Gangs of New York and The Pianist are in the multiplexes. They make up a plan to go and watch.
"But what happened to our film?"
The question is met with inaudible murmur.
" We'll make it someday."
" Yeah, we'll buy a cheap digital camera. No film."
'Oh, cmon. That won't do."
"Why not? Everyone's adapted to it now, and-"
The conversation dies down in endless protests and a thousand plans, but it's too childish to start all over again. Stories flow freely, until the last cup of tea is finished, and then, it's time to go home.
They proceed to dissolve, namelessly and without a third act , into one of the many streets and narrow roads of Kolkata. What happened to him? Someone asks. Banker's son? He died, comes the answer. Binge drinking? Cancer? No one knows.
It begins raining.
People hurry and cover their banana stalls and their big baskets containing fresh mangoes and litchis. They run for cover too. It's really time to go now.
Will we meet again? Hopefully, if one of us is able to stand, he will go visit the others. That's it? That's it.
With a gush of wind, it starts raining really hard, drowning all conversation.

It's estimated that 170,000 people are involved in an alcohol related traffic accident and recent studies confirm that almost 4 million people drive under the influence of alcohol. That's a huge concern in regards to public safety. That concern is causing the National Transportation Safety Board to rethink it's recommendation on an acceptable blood alcohol limit.

Do you think that cops do slightly illegal things just because they can? I don't mean murder or robbing a bank....but I'm fairly sure that they speed or make their own parking spaces on occasion, just because they have a badge. Watch a spunky 12 year-old bust a cop for doing something he thought was not right.
I think that most of us were shocked and horrified when the verdict came back on the Casey Anthony murder trial. Not guilty said the jury! How could this happen, we asked? Two years later, the Florida judge who presided over this case shares his thoughts.

Decently priced good food good place I found out that for a quick Mart food store they are good employees go out of there way to help you there polite and respectful
The soft servce ice cream here is great. One of the few places in Alaska that gives you something of value for the money you pay. Not much else here except not so healthy fast food but the ice cream is the best deal around!
Great little mom & pop style convenience store. Quick food, hot sandwiches, ice cream. Everything except alcohol. Nice little sit down, café like area. Great little stop after climbing the Butte or fishing Jim Creek.
They hand-batter both their chicken and chicken strips then fry to perfection. Heat case holds the chicken and it's wonderfully crunchy yet still juicy when they dish it up . They'll fry it fresh if you prefer but it takes about 25 minutes. This is real cooking happening in a commercial store!
Burgers are terrific and sides are also homemade....
I heard such wonderful things about the fried chicken. It was okay, but for the price I would prefer "Five-dollar Friday" Carr's chicken. It was okay, but not amazing. I was surprised about how many options they have on their menu! I am excited about trying more things. Also, they have a lot of candy varieties in the aisle.
close convenient but a bit pricey. everythin in Alaska is a bit higher but they are on the extreme high end. Burgers are good and fries are yummy. Staff is wonderful, and place was alaways clean
They have limited groceries, but a large deli, sandwich area with tables inside where you can order and eat. Also, you can do take out.
Always available in a pinch. They have more inside than you would think from the road. The deli is pretty good too.
When I am on the run this is where I stop for great sandwiches, ice cream and what ever I forgot to pack. It is on the main highway from Palmer to the Butte, the Old Glenn Hwy. Lots of room to park your camper with your atv trailer too. Restrooms are clean. Hot food is fresh.
This store has an amazing selection of food, snacks, a deli, and household goods. It is a super fast way to get what you need. They also make carrot juice on the spot. Delicious!

You meet with an old woman (Not Mama)
Waddling around in the woods, you find a short old woman in black robes camping all by herself. She looks around to see you and asks you to come to her. You approach her and rest your padded bottom on the tree stump across from her. She introduces herself, "My name is Kagura, the wind sorceress. What brings you to these humble woods?" You respond, "I am Nozomi, the Princess of the land. I have embarked on a journey to find my lost mother, the queen."
Kagura looks at you with interest and is surprised you came all this way on your own. And she's also festinated with you being dressed in just a shirt and diaper. "Oh yes, I have heard about the sudden disappearance of the queen; who knows what has become of her?" She offers to accompany you on your journey after resting for the night. Do you accept?

We all need our superstars. Players we can hook in to, possibly even bond with, even if it's only through the television. They are the jewels in the crown, the big men who stamp their identity on an era. So if one heads for retirement, it is more than convenient that another comes along to occupy the void left behind.
If Phil Vickery, World Cup winner, England captain and arguably the best tight-head prop his country ever had, announced his retirement yesterday, then Courtney Lawes has been shouting his arrival for a little while now. It's just that on Sunday, at close quarters, it dawned on me just what the young man might achieve.
First Vickery, as nice a man as he is a great player. The good guy who came first. In a lifetime playing at the top he has had half a dozen injuries that would have ended most careers, but until a few weeks ago he still hoped that he might get his England place back. That's resilience.
He's been at Wasps since 2006, starting with a Heineken Cup winner's medal and a Guinness Premiership title in his first season away from Gloucester. The perfect answer to anyone who thought he'd left his best at Kingsholm.
There have been plenty of good times, because when Vicks was around Wasps tended to win. In his 18 Heineken Cup appearances they won 13 times. But the one that truly sparkles in the memory is of Johannesburg and the third Test in the Lions series in July last year.
After the first Test in Durban some fingers had been pointed in Phil's direction after the Lions scrum suffered at the hands of Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira. By the time we got to Johannesburg, Vicks was more fired up than I had ever seen. But now, packing down behind him in the re-shaped scrum was Simon Shaw and as clear as day I remember Phil turning to Shaw in the changing room just before they ran out saying: "Give me everything." And that's what he got.
That game, like the whole tour, was fabulous rugby and I was up out of my seat a dozen times. There was Ugo Moyne's interception, but that was as nothing compared to when the scrum was set. The hit was thunderous, the squeeze went on, something had to give and this time it was the Beast.
When Mtawarira buckled and popped up it proved that although the tight head may often take the brick-bats, as well as the praise, he doesn't do it alone and that the scrum is perhaps the perfect example of team work. Technique overcoming brute force … although you certainly need a bit of that as well.
Now, after 13 years of Test rugby Phil is gone. I'll miss him, but we'll keep in contact. It's what you do with a guy like him. Lawes I don't know as a man, but after watching him play for England, studying the tapes and then getting too good a view last Sunday, I have to believe he's another giant in the making.
During the week someone compared him to John Eales, but he's more powerful and plays with the swagger of a man who is super confident in himself. You know he won't be fazed by facing the All Blacks next week – as he surely will – and I suspect the next month will go some way to suggesting what lies ahead.
The interest will be in how England use such a prized asset and this is where that man Shaw pops up again.
There is a school of thought that says that if the 2010 All Blacks have a weakness it is in their tight forwards. Back in the summer that's where Wales had some success, particularly in the second Test at Hamilton and although Owen Franks has since come in at tight head, there is a feeling that his work at the scrum might be valued less than the mobility he adds.
With Shaw alongside Lawes, especially if Lewis Moody is fit, the England pack is as tough a nut as it has been since the 2007 World Cup and possibly 2003. The downside is the lineout. Lawes does not like to call the plays. The alternative is to unite the summer pairing of Tom Palmer and Lawes.
My suggestion? Give Tom Croft, another England forward growing in stature, control of the lineout and reap the twin rewards of having powerhouses in the second row and two huge ball-carriers in open play.

Blackstone Said in $1.5 Billion Deal to Buy U.S. Warehousesby
Blackstone Group LP agreed to buy 46 industrial properties in the U.S. from LBA Realty LLC for $1.5 billion as it steps up investments in stable, income-producing real estate with low risk, said a person with knowledge of the transaction.
The warehouses, located mostly on the West Coast, total 12 million square feet (1.1 million square meters) and are about 95 percent occupied, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the deal is private. Blackstone declined to comment. LBA Realty didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
Blackstone, the world's biggest private equity owner of real estate, has been acquiring properties that offer predictable income streams since it got into the so-called core-plus real estate business in late 2013. Warehouses are attractive to investors because demand from tenants including Amazon.com Inc. are fueling big gains in rents.
The agreement with LBA was reported earlier Tuesday by the Wall Street Journal.

FAST is a Fulton County Charter School offering grades K-6. Our objective is to provide an education based on design thinking and problem-solving with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to children in our diverse community.
The Lottery Results are available, along with wait list information.
The application is currently accepting students to our 2017 wait list in the order in which they are received.
The link for 2017 applications is here!
Upcoming Events
Memorial Day- School ClosedMay 29
Governing Board Meeting – JuneJune 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Fourth of July School ClosedJuly 3 - July 4
Governing Board Meeting – JulyJuly 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FAST Orientation DayAugust 4 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Our Challenge
In most schools children are given information and tested to show they can replicate it accurately. However, many lack the ability to think critically and cannot show meaningful understanding of the material in spite of high test scores. Without this understanding children cannot do something creative and innovative with the content. Focusing on STEM content only gets our children to the starting line. Creativity and innovation will get them into the race to win.
Our Mission
The mission of Fulton Academy of Science and Technology (FAST) is to provide an education based on design thinking and problem-solving with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to K-8 children in the diverse Fulton County community. FAST's goal is to prepare children in a way that provides them a foundation to be creative innovators and problem solvers so they are prepared for success and leadership in our rapidly changing world.
Our Identity
There are a few key characteristics which make FAST unique. FAST is parent designed and governed meaning the FAST concept was developed by parents of current students. FAST uses innovation orientation within STEM Content which will increase critical thinking, help create a deep understanding in content areas and foster creativity and innovation. FAST follows the K-8 Model and FAST is planning innovative after-school enrichment opportunities.

Finance Minister Joe Ceci, left, presents Yusef Moalim Ahmed, 11, with a new pair of soccer shoes as his father, Mohamed Moalim Ahmed, right, looks on during a pre-budget photo opportunity at the Alberta Legislature Building in Edmonton, Alta., on Tuesday, March 14, 2017. (Codie McLachlan/Postmedia)
Alberta's $10.8 billion deficit isn't going anywhere soon.
Alberta's $10.8-billion deficit isn't going anywhere soon.
In the lead-up to Thursday's release of Budget 2017, Finance Minister Joe Ceci said Tuesday his government will continue to act as a shock absorber — taking the hit in the short term for long-term benefit.
Ceci said being that shock absorber means not throwing programs and services out the window.
"We're going to invest in the things necessary, and doing that means we need to run a deficit," he said.
Since the government was hardly going to find a sudden $10-billion windfall, the D-Word shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
But Ceci said Thursday's budget will contain plans for how the government will curb both the deficit and spending.
It will be much like Budget 2016, Ceci said, with measures to make life more affordable for families (think Bill 1, which reduces school fees by 25 per cent).
And, much like last year, Ceci eschewed that curiously Canadian tradition of new Budget Day shoes.
Instead, 11-year-old Yusuf Moalim Ahmed received a shiny new pair of soccer boots from the finance minister, symbolic of the budget's theme of affordability for families.
Ceci said the budget will also address jobs and diversification, likely similar to the investments in petrochemicals and agrifood which he said will "bear more and more fruit going forward" as the economy begins its expected slow recovery.
What Albertans won't see Thursday is an increase in liquor tax or a provincial sales tax.
They also won't see a shadow budget from the official Opposition.
Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said Tuesday an empirical study on shadow budgets found "very little" positive coverage.
As a result of their ineffectiveness, he said, releasing one isn't in the best interests of Wildrose.
But his party will put forward a series of recommendations about where the government could trim spending and rejig resources to deal with the deficit.
"It's time to change direction, to change course," Jean said.
"I truly believe we have to live within our means."
The Progressive Conservatives, however, did launch an alternative fiscal plan Tuesday.
Interim leader Ric McIver said it would see Alberta return to a surplus by 2019-20 without any cuts to frontline services, although Ceci questioned the figures used by the PCs.
McIver accused the NDP of "killing hope" and expects bad news on budget day.
"I think you'll see them spending their brains out and borrowing their brains out, and putting Alberta in a bigger hole than we were in before," he said.

Take the check to the bank it is drawn off of and cash it there. That way there won't be a question of whether or not it cleared. I believe the checks FTP cuts are drawn off of Wells Fargo. Just look at the front of the check and look at the name of the bank on there, then take it to that bank and they can cash it out with zero waiting. Plus that check will never show up in your deposit history at your institution and the government will never know.
Whether you deposit in an ATM, a night drop, or the teller window, the check "clears" the same way and takes the same amount of time. The only difference is that it may be some hours before it's actually collected and processed by your bank versus handing it to a teller. Unless you're a well established customer with a regular, reliable balance history, they're typically not going to immediately post all the funds to your account until it's had time to clear FT's bank. This can take anywhere from a day to several days. You'll know that it's cleared when the funds post to your available balance.
In certain cases, where the check takes an unusual amount of time to clear, by law the bank must make the funds available to you. However if the check winds up bouncing due to NSF, stop-payment, account seizure, etc., then you will be responsible for replacing those funds. That said, I've never heard of a problem with FT checks outside of the seizure situation, and they made good on those funds quickly.
re: Poker & cashing CHECKS through ATMs?
Dmorris, I was unaware of the new checks being issued from FT. Thanks for updating me on the information. However, I still suggest taking the check to the bank it is drawn from to cash it, that way you avoid any deposit hangups.
Hey I have some kind of gambling restrictions thats set to my account at Wells Fargo.. I think they noticed I have been withdrawaling alot of money in one week.
But yea I ended up putting 800 on full tilt and just cashed out 1870. I was just wondering if Im going to have any problems cashing it since they have that gambling restriction on it? How should I go about doing it when the check gets here. Thanks

Smith & Jones
Detectives Smith & Jones are called upon to investigate the death of the World Wrestling Champion. What originally appears to be a suicide quickly turns out to be something far more sinister. Can these two detectives put aside their differences and solve the case as they enter the wacky world of professional wrestling?
Detective Daniel Smith was young, handsome and inexperienced. Essentially, he was everything that his superior, Detective Mitch Jones was not. Complete opposites, they'd been paired together as what they could only assume was an attempt at humour. Smith & Jones. Get it? Neither did Daniel Smith, but Mitch seemed to find it funny. He's do his hacking laugh as he chewed on his cigar as Daniel asked him to explain.
The two didn't get on. Mitch didn't even know what an iphone was. He was out of touch, and condescending, and had no issue with wounding Daniel's pride on regular occasions. The two had often found themselves in shouting matches that everyone else in the LAPD attempted to discourage. Mitch's cursing rants could be heard from every corner of the building and his language did nothing to improve the image of the police department.
"We've had a call." said Jones as he walked in to the office, lighting up another cigar. Smith wasn't sure how he afforded them.
"Yes?" Smith replied. He often attempted to keep up an image of intellectual superiority when talking to the gruff, masculine Mitch Jones.
"The World Wrestling Champion has been found dead in a hotel room."

A Different Kind Of Pressure
Four hours later. I was tied to a chair in Mathew's kitchen. Well, that was new. Heh. Heh. I was really getting pretty bored of it by then, not least because my captor had disappeared before finishing his story, so I was still waiting to hear the end of it. What was more, I couldn't even scream to vent my frustration, because Mathew had decided to tape my mouth before he left. Real helpful.
"No one comes here. They wouldn't hear me." I'd tried to talk him out of it when I saw him approaching with the dreaded roll of tape.
"There are some," he replied, his teeth gritted, "and they're the sort that wouldn't want to see you tied up. Trust me, Eilidh, it's better this way." He seemed determined to always call me by my full name, perhaps to make sure there was no sense of friendship between us. Certainly there was nothing but cold animosity at the moment, and there wasn't likely to be anything else.
I struggled against my bonds, feeling the pain as the duct tape pulled at the soft skin of my face. Mathew had left the radio on and while it had annoyed me during the music shows - not my style; too much talking in between - I was interested to hear the news. Especially when it turned to the local police.
"Anybody who has seen Eilidh McConnery since yesterday morning is urged to come forward. She disappeared from the streets near her home at around eleven o'clock and has not been seen since. Her parents are exceedingly worried and would be grateful for any news." The policeman listed a telephone number before the radio station turned back to their reporter.
Yesterday morning? So I was right - I had lost a whole day. Well, that just blew everything. If Mathew intended to keep me here for any longer I was going to be in a huge amount of trouble. My parents would be out of their minds, worrying about where I was. They had called the police already, for goodness sake. I couldn't do this to them, yet I didn't have a choice.
After a few minutes I gave up on trying to work myself free. It wasn't working. At all.
At this rate I'll be sitting on this chair until I starve to death, I thought morbidly. Is he planning to feed me? To give me something to drink? To let me go to the toilet?
As soon as I thought about that last point I wished I hadn't, for it made me suddenly aware of the pressure on my bladder. Oh no. I couldn't go much longer without getting to the bathroom soon, and I really did not want to pee all over the floor. Besides, I didn't think Mathew would like that very much.
How long had it been since I went to the loo? I'd been unconscious, of course, which had slowed down all of my bodily processes, but it was still a whole day. Man. No wonder I was so desperate.
I stared at the wall, trying not to think about it. Please come back. Please come back. Please come back - soon. I'm going to pee myself. Please come back. Well, there went my not thinking about it, but I honestly couldn't help it. Mathew, please come back.
If he didn't come soon, I was in a lot of trouble.

Pilot light button on furnace won't turn
I'm trying to light my furnace pilot light, but for some reason the pilot light button will not turn so I can light the gas. For some reason the pilot light went off some time is the summer, and now that it's turned cold again....
This happened once before, seven years ago. The furnace is a Roberts-Gordon, 25 years old.
I know what I need to do to light this (there's a sticker inside that explains how to light the Pilot), now the only thing stopping me is that the Pilot Light button will not turn. It says "depress button and turn counter-clockwise from OFF to PILOT. then light the gas with a taper (long match). Hold button down for sixty seconds, then release, pilot should stay lit. Then turn the button further counter-clockwise to ON." (I'm paraphrasing)
Well my problem is that the button is already in the ON position, so I want to turn it to PILOT. I press down but it won't turn, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. I can't turn it to the PILOT position. Something, (I'm guessing that it's probably a safety feature), is stopping the button from turning. :huh:
Can anybody explain what I need to do to get the button to turn to PILOT so I can light it?
Thanks in advance I hope I've explained sufficiently and not been too long-winded....
Going from on to pilot can vary. Some go from on to pilot by just turning, no pushing. Some require a slight push down, but not all the way, some are pushed all the way (rare...at least what I've encountered). Not saying it can't happen, but I haven't encountered one that is locked up totally and wouldn't turn. Try a varied amount of pushing down...but don't force it.
hey Kyle,
thanks for the speedy reply, I was out, just got home.... well I did try varying amounts of pushing, and I tried turning the button without the pushing, nothing works. It's like it's locked in the ON position.... I'll try again, but I already tried two sessions of it, it wouldn't turn. I think there's some kind of preventative safety going on...... I'm missing smth.....
I'm not sure. Maybe try Google with the furn model & serial number. Also try the gas valve manufacturers name and model number.
Can you post a photo?
you can't :no:go from ON to PILOT you need to turn it to OFF press it down and turn it to pilot and hold it down...light it hold it 60 seconds(till the thermal couple heats up) and release it...pilot should stay ON....then turn to ON now!
Foolish question, the ball valve is on? If the handle is in-line with the pipe, it is on. If the handle is purpindicular to the pipe, it is off.
My knob was frozen. I removed the plastic housing and turned the metal spindle to OFF with a wrench. I sprayed it with WD 40, turned it back and forth til it was moving, replaced the plastic housing and was able to rotate to the PILOT position.
So the OP's furnace is over 30 years old now! Hope he got it fixed or replaced.

There are hundreds and hundreds of weight loss diet pills incredibly available in the market today. They all make similar claims to some extent, but the foot column is the same: acquire this diet pill and loose weight. Some urge users to take on a diet and exercise plan in conjunction with using the pill, while others claim to make you loose weight with no lifestyle changes just by taking the pill. Numerous people use diet pills with different results as only a few pills truly help you loose weight.
The genuineness is that no pill can promote 100% weight loss unless and until followed by a proper diet and regular exercise. There is no way a pill will help you lose weight if you do not exercise and maintain a healthy diet. If you are persuaded to try a diet pill instead of adopting these healthy habits, expect to see results only when you put your 100 % efforts. However, a few diet pills can help you to lose more weight than diet and exercise alone while others will not help at all, as it depends from pill to pill.
Prior to when you try a diet pill you need to be Think Twice Before Opting Diet Pillswell informed about it. You should be familiar with how it works, what the potential ill effects are, if it works for a large proportion of users or not, and whether it is medically proven or not. A large number of diet pills on the market today either don't work at all or have major side effects that can be dangerous, because they are prepared form synthetic chemical and there are no natural ingredient in it.
Different diet pills work in distinctive ways as well and the way they work is directly related to whether or not you will have success with them. Some diet pills work by suppressing the appetite, some by energizing the metabolism, and others by blocking fat absorption. Stimulants and suppressants usually have the most serious side effects, and pills that work by blocking fat absorption can also have their share of cruel side effects.
There are quantities of diet pills you should avoid including ones which contain Ephedra, guar gum, and bitter orange as they can cause hazardous side effects. Other ingredients such as green tea extract, and Hoodia are also used in diet pills which are very well known for their quality to promote weight loss and they are also recognized by the medical experts also.
Before you try any diet pill always make sure that it contains ingredients that are safe and proven successful.

Footballers cannot win, can they? They get it in the neck from the neighbours when they build naff palaces with monogrammed gates and mock-Tudor facades. Yet they get the same opprobrium when they try to commission something stylish, modern and socially conscious. At least, that seems to be the depressing conclusion to be drawn from the public objections to Gary Neville's proposals to build a futuristic eco-home in the Lancashire countryside.
But we believe that the veteran Manchester United defender should not be deterred from his green ambitions. It is gratifying to see an environmentalist footballer.
Indeed, we believe Mr Neville should go further in his quest for carbon efficiency. Some ideas: a small turbine to be set up in the Old Trafford dressing room to tap the wind energy unleashed by his manager's infamous half-time rants; solar panels to absorb the glare from Mr Neville's flashier teammates' diamond ear-rings; and there are opportunities galore in the club car park – all those Jaguars and Bentleys should be replaced with a fleet of G-Wizes. No excuses, Gary. An eco-warrior needs to be prepared to think big.Reuse content
