Making Sense of Absurd
Absurd contains the rarer related adjective surd, which, like absurd, derives from the Latin surdus ("deaf, silent, stupid").
Surd can mean "lacking sense or irrational," much like absurd:
While the grandparents might scratch their heads at the Star Wars references, the actors and perhaps some younger parents likely delighted in manic, jumbled and surd structure of the play.
–Patrick Clement, Kiowa County Signal (Greensburg, Kansas), 23 Jan. 2013
Absurd, however, stresses a lack of logical sense or harmonious agreement, of parts (such as a premise and a conclusion) not fitting together. In philosophy, it describes the problem of trying to distill meaning from one's experiences. In A Discourse on Novelty and Creation (1975), Carl R. Hausman writes, "There is an incongruity, an inconsistency, a conflict with a context that appears as lawful, orderly experience. As [Albert] Camus points out, absurdity 'springs from a comparison,' a comparison between two aspects of reality which seem to be out of harmony."
Origin and Etymology of absurd
borrowed from Middle French absurde, going back to Old French absorde, borrowed from Latin absurdus "out of tune, uncouth, inappropriate, ridiculous," from ab- ab- + surdus "unhearing, deaf, muffled, dull" — more at 1surd

Olivia Wilde is UGLY. Why is she #1 on the Maxim hot 100
Posted in the Orlando Forum
#1 May 19, 2009
I will never trust or buy Maxim.
Just look at Olivia Wilde. There is NOTHING attractive about her. and she is so SKINNY!! Nothing there to excite any hetero male. In fact most of the women on that list are emaciated.
- If men are being told that this is attractive, then no wonder there are child molesters, because these women look like underage, undeveloped little girls.
- If women are being told that this is attractive and ideal, then no wonder there is anorexia and bulimia, in an attempt to imitate these unnatural freaks!
Why isnt there even ONE curvy, busty seductress who can make my blood boil,... on that list.
I know there are more important things in the world right now.
#2 May 19, 2009
Im with you all the way! I like my women with some curves!
#3 Mar 28, 2010
completely agreed.
if i wanted hipbones, and collar bones, and a rib cage banging against me when we're doing the deed, i'd chase a 9 year old chinese boy.
i want a lot of things to grab, you know? ;)

Are you stupid?
How can you say Olivia Wilde is ugly you retard.
Look at her face she's gorgeous !
#5 Apr 8, 2010
They are not only interested in her face. and quit calling people names, It makes you look ridiculous and juvenile..
#6 Sep 23, 2010
I agree..personally i never thought she was that pretty until my boyfriend made it clear to me one day that he thought she was hot by putting a picture of her on his facebook profile. Ever since then I have felt in the back of my mind that I'm not skinny enough, or that she is prettier than me. Personally..she looks like she does cocaine to me. Her face is gaunt, but yes her eyes are really pretty...
#7 Sep 24, 2010
I think she has a pretty face, and would be a knock out if she wasn't so skinny!
#8 Jan 31, 2011
olivia wilde is indeed ugly. i'm saying this for different reasons than all of you. see, you guys are all fat slob americans who are so emotionally fragile that you need to put her down for being slim. I on the other hand call it like she is. Olivia just doesn't have a pretty face. Sure her body is hot, but she has the face of a dog. She's like a Carrie from Sex in the City. You cannot compare how hot the victoria secret models... or even a pretty actress like rachael mcadams or natalie portman to this ugly girl.
You girls who are hating saying "real women need to have curves"... here's the troof for you. real women DO need to have CURVES. and Olivia does have curves. tits, ass, slim lines. those are the "CURVES" that people and especially men think are pretty. the "CURVES" you fatties are talking about are folds in your belly fat, muffin top love handles spilling over your fat ass stretch pants... huge rump fat, double or triple chin fat. yes, there are curves involved, but those ARENT the curves that are considered attractive. do yourselves a favor, take that twinkie out of that damn pie whole, and start exercising a bit and eating less. don't always look at a dessert saying "oh... just this once". you know you're going to keep shoving it in your face next time. just don't eat it. it's about will power. it's not genes or metabolism. if you're metabolism is slow, then freakin eat less damn it! exercise more. the problem is with you. not with societies image. have you been to europe or asia? the women and men there aren't fat. why? in europe they are of similar genetic make up. but they aren't huge like you whales. it's because the eat less, walk more, don't binge on freakin krispy kremes!!

I don't give a crap what some the staff at some rag magazine thinks. I can think for myself and can define beauty by my own tastes.
Besides, Maxim is whacking material for boys who are too young to get their hands on real porn.
#12 Apr 7, 2011
Who knows why they use people in that magazine. Remember the Dr. Maxim chick? She was flat chested and not beautiful in the least..and yet, she worked for them for three years. I still don't understand all these years later. Luckily Maxim has gotten a little better. I think Olivia is better than whoever her name was...but yeah I don't know about number 1.
#13 May 26, 2011
@ the ugly troof
What a useless, laughable post. I love it when a supposed "non-american" starts ratting on americans for being overweight. I've been all over the world, and sure america is full of fat people, but a lot of other places aren't too far off. Its a simple formula, america has more than they need. Countries that deal with a lot more poverty have skinnier people.
And nobody here said anything anout metabolism or genes, you just started trolling up the place because you're an ignorant bigot and a piece of shit.
So some american guy is overweight. Why do you care? I'd rather be overweight then some pussy troll who roams around the web looking for opportunities to display my vast vocab of curse words and insult people through a written comment.
OBVIOUSLY every human being has an ass - but Olivia Wilde does not have "curves" in the meaning that the previous posters were referring to.
They are not talking about fat jelly rolls, like you seem to think, which is something only a retarded person would think in the first place. They also dont find fat people attractive.
Go to a Mall in a big city like atlanta. Youll see plenty of fat people, but you will also see tons of hot chicks.
Olivia is ugly beyond her face - you said "obviously her body is hot"
No - her body is NOTHING. its plain, its ugly, its NASTY.
The curves that I, and these other posters are referring to are that of women like laetitia casta in her prime - still relatively skinny, but her body has actual features.
Olivia looks like a storw mannequin without tits. Its disgusting. And her big, gaunt, nasty face doesnt help either.
Anyone from Europe or any part of the world that lumps all Americans into one group of Fat, Obnoxious losers, is just plain pathetic. Only a fucking desperately unhappy, miserable freak thinks that way.
Grouping all people together like that is the cause for racism and other problems that we have seen echoed through history, like that of slavery or the holocaust. Its when some ignorant bigot asshole like you comes along and stereotypes everyone into a single group. Its just retarded and backwards.
I doubt all English people are cocky, stuck up, up tight douchebags with nasty faces, and fucked up yellow crooked teeth. I bet not every german is a blonde haired, blue eyed, jew hating mass murderer. Hey - I wonder if every person in Russia is a Bear wearing a vest and red hat riding a unicycle??
And all asians are good at math right - and they are small and have small dicks too, correct? And black people - they are faster, with big dicks, but they are loud at the movies and they like fried chicken... am i right?
What a stupid, backwards, pathetic rotten little asshole you are.
Look - JUST because you have an insanely tiny cock doesnt make it ok to troll around the web acting like some internet-tough-guy.
I know it must suck to have such a incredibly small dick, but just keep telling yourself that SIZE DOESNT MATTER!!!
And in reality, the only TRUE stereotype is that anyone who goes around the web making trollish comments like you is:
1 - a young kid, probably between early teens and early 20s
2 - just a... medically facsinating tiny dick... i mean tiny, like half-a-crayon tiny
3 - a loser, with no friends, no life, and who lives on the web and trolls comments, like youtube video comments ect...
4 - DEFINITELY single - the closest thing to a date for you is pants around ankles in front of a glowing screen while you bust nuts in a handfull of tissues
5 - again, i gotta mention it... the teeniest, tiniest little pud
6 - and finally, a pussy - dont get me wrong, on the internet your CRAZY tough... you could kick my ass. But in REAL life, ya know, where big people live, you are a pussy, and you would get shit on if you ever opened your mouth in public.
So THATS a real, true stereotype for trolls.
Well, thats all asshole. Enjoy your hilariously microscopic dick. Lucky for you, ull never get far enough for any girl to see it
#14 May 26, 2011
oh.. and natalie portman? come on - i mean she is prettier in the face and im not putting down natalie... but whats with you a girls who for some reason... were born without tits?
why dont you just admit your gay? i think alot of people are ok with it now. Attitudes towards being gay are still bad but its improving.
Youll ACTUALLY have friends then - but see for you... its still a bit of a problem, other guys arent gonna wanna touch your baby dick either - but theyll have no problem pounding your ass! Thats good news right? its about the only kind of sex youll ever get, and since you are clearly attracted to boys, you will enjoy it too! Doesnt that sound nice? going to a bar and bringing some guy in assless chaps home to ferociously pound you in the ass, like the pussy bitch that you are?
You can either admit your gay and hit up the gay bars OR pretend to be straight and get yourself locked up. Either way - theres tons and tons of manhood waiting for you.. waiting for your anus.

Let's see...skinny supermodels makes millions of dollars........um yeah......it must suck to be skinny! I mean no men like women that are slim right? Ha! Have you ever heard the term a "a handful is enough". For Olivia's slenderness, she has breasts and a cute little ass. Most fat women I know have wide flat asses and muffing tops with jiggly tits that hand to their belly buttons when they take off their bras. Olivia has very striking and exotic features. Jealous haters.

#16 Aug 15, 2011
Haha you're blind! Olivia Wilde is one of most beautiful women I've seen! her eyes are so beautiful and have that sexy slant too them, they are 'hypnotic' She is also very talented and funny which makes her even more attractive. Her body is not the focus on her. She has put a bit of weight on now so she is not as skinny, but I am mainly looking at her face, I just can't get enough of her face!

Although Olivia Wilde looks like a dude with long hair sometimes and also has a very large head, she still is handsome. When Olivia came of the assembly line the ugly girl quota for that day was probably filled. So she was send back and received prettier eyes and cute lips. Seriously the girl got lucky with her eyes because with the shape of her big head, she easily would have been hidious...

Not bad looking, just to old!
#19 Jan 8, 2012
full of shit. theres nothing wrong with being thin i suppose but when im looking for a woman im certainly not looking for a fat slob. i just want her to have some breasts and a real ass...like a fully developed woman. maybe you like little boys or girls but i have no interest.

Okay guys.... to me, Olivia Wilde is GORGEOUS.
I used to think she wasn't pretty until the day i saw her on screen. There is something about that girl, i tell you. It's not even about her body or her wonderful cat face, it's in her about what you see into her EYES. she seems to be a genuinely nice girl, clever, and true. that what i see when i look at her and that what makes her so beautful to me. One of the most beautiful actresses today
She really seem to be a CLEVER girl, do some research about her; and a big political activist.

oh dear oh dear
sometimes I really do fear for humanity,
'she's too skiny'
ok, I'm sorry she may not be ultra fat btu is that a bad thing? It just means she does excercise, which may suprise some people but trust me tis a good thing.
'she's too fat'
seriosuly? I'm going to give you the cheif moron reward.
'she should get some curves'
look I'm sorry she hasn't had a boob job, sadly she actually has some self confidence, so doesn't feel the need to look like a hooker. Look that may suprise you that she is acutally intelligent but I'm aftraid you have to grow up and deal with it.
'she looks like a dude'
WOW, I am truly shocked, looks like we have a new chief moron, congratulations you're prize is having no life. Also what dudes do you knwo, I didn't know guys could have boobs or wear dresses for that matter. But then again I may be missing something I mean I'm sure secretly most guys love putting heels on and make up
I'm sorry that she doesn't look like your average hollywood celebrity who is some blonde, stick insect who wears WAY too much make up and has boobs hte size of footballs.
Some people actually have brains.
Sorry I had to tell you that and break your dreams
have fun morons
hope you have a nice day

I live in Russia and I want to move in Thailand! I want to make money with audiodzhangla there. What do you think, should I do this?!
Two-three sales a month will go to pay for internet Actually, I think it's impossible to live on earnings from stocks in any country of the world. But I would like to hear the opinion of the Thais.
This is my biggest dream!)) My income is now on the jungle is about 150 dollars a month. This is not enough to live for a month in Thailand. But maybe if I work hard, I can increase my income?
I lived in Thailand for a couple of years and I can tell you that when I was staying down in the islands, in Koh Phangan, I was living in a concrete bungalow under palm trees in the quiet side of the island with cold shower, air-con and free wi-fi and I used to pay 2000thb per week which is around 60$ a week = 240$ per month. So yeah, if you double your income you can already pay your monthly rent in a tropical island!
If you value your life don't move, Thailand is a very corrupt country and they treat killing, robbing foreigners like a business. Do you own research, otherwise you may end up as the many foreigners that apparently go on vacation to "kill themselves" by jumping from the roof with their hands/legs tied up.
I have spent sometime in Thailand, overall its a wonderful place to live. Offcourse you should have money with you for any emergency. I would suggest you to do some more hard work where you are at the moment and thn when you have 500-700/month thn move to Thailand. In this case you will have what you need to live in a foreign country and also have extra as your saving for your emergency timings
More income helps you, but regard one thing, it's not a fixed salary and you can not count on it 100% as a month you may sell 300$ and there may come a month that your sales go down to 50! I suggest you that save some money before you move in Thailand like for two or three months ahead, and by then increase your envato items as much as possible while keeping the quality high. then once you're in Thailand, look for some jobs (If your visa allows that)
Actually, it is quite possible to live from Stock (Music, Photo, Video, etc.) income. You just have to be very good at it In fact, I know many authors who can live in luxury in any of the most expensive cities in the world just from Envato income But relying on a 150$ (or 300$) income to move to a different country is very risky! It would be better if you continue to work on your craft, improve, find other marketplaces and/or sources of income and then make the big move It's not that hard, you just have to work on your skills and think a bit differently (find another approach). Remember after all, this is a business too. Good Luck
Post equitem sedet atra cura (Horatius ).
I would say, start earning more and then move. Unless possibility of ending up homeless is a foreign land sound cool to you.

Colleagues gathered September 6, 2013, in BC Lounge on the main campus to honor Steele's contribution to bachelor's degree completion and graduate programs as well as FPU at large. Steele served as regional center executive director and interim vice president for student affairs.
During her tenure Steele directly oversaw the opening and/or expansion of regional centers in Merced, North Fresno, Visalia and Bakersfield. The DC and graduate programs have expanded programs and adult learners have become Fresno Pacific's largest student group. "She has served this university selflessly," said FPU President Pete C. Menjares, Ph.D.
Steele stepped down because her husband, Mark, accepted a new position requiring him to travel extensively. She also helps care for parents and plans to finish her doctorate.
With solid leadership and competent staff, the regional team is in an excellent position to move forward, Steele said. "It has been an honor to co-labor with you. I believe God has great plans for Fresno Pacific, and will continue to use your efforts as a vital part in furthering the mission and vision of this institution," she added.

2x12 Don't Bug the Mosquitoes
First Aired: Dec. 09, 1965 on CBS
Summary: A rock combo lands on the island to get away from their fans, only to run into the castaways, who tries to get the group to help them get off the island.

- Goof (factual errors): The small helicopter seen at the beginning of the episode couldn't possibly have carried all the band members and their instruments. It clearly had only two seats and no space for luggage.
- Goof (revealing mistake): The Mosquitoes are able to play their electric guitars without amplifiers or electricity.
- The three-man folk singing group The Wellingtons sang the theme song for the first season, but were replaced by a similar sounding group, The Eligibles, for the following seasons. The Wellingtons (plus one) also portrayed 'The Mosquitoes' in this episode of the series.
- In the Honeybees' performance of "You Need Us", Dawn Wells' singing voice is dubbed by singer/songwriter Jackie DeShannon.
- There are two different published versions of this episode. The most notable differing scenes are: Ver. 1: The Mosquitos' concert is shown just as it is ending; and the Honeybees each sing solo parts in multiple verses of their song, "You Need Us." This is the version originally aired on CBS, as most viewers may recall. Ver. 2: The Mosquitos perform a full song, "He's a Loser" (a different song from Ver. 1), in their concert; and the Honeybees sing together just a single verse of "You Need Us." This version has appeared subsequently in TVLand reruns.

Relieved Chronic Fatigue
I have no idea how this product works and I love it. A medical intuitive proscribed this for me years ago. I was taking maybe 20-25 pellets three times a day along with their Biochemic Phosphates in similar quantities to help with depletion. I also started drinking a lot of spring water, as recommended. Very quickly, I felt the chronic fatigue symptoms were relieved. I still like to take it sometimes and always have some on hand. Kind of a magical product for me.

Student's Condition Improving After Being Hit By Bus
Twenty one year old Natasha Schoultz' condition has been upgraded from critical to serious, following a gruesome accident early Tuesday morning.
After a concert near the 200 block of University Avenue Schoultz walked in front of a RTS bus and was hit head on.
Gainesville's Police Department is still investigating what happened, but they have cleared the bus driver, 26 year old Eddie Bishop of reckless driving and of alcohol.
Investigators are still looking into what may have distracted Natasha, who was actually interning with RTS in their marketing and communications department.
This is the second time in four months that a student has been hit by a RTS bus.
Bishop and Schoultz did know each other and the bus driver is on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Each summer every single RTS bus driver has to undergo extended training to make sure they are prepared for situations like crowded roadways and aggressive drivers.

Huttig Partners with Woodgrain Millwork for Northeast Distribution
May 22, 2014
Huttig Building Products will begin distributing Woodgrain Millwork's Finished Elegance line in the Northeast. Finished Elegance offers an interior moulding product coated on all four sides for a smooth furniture finish that installs easier and lasts longer, Huttig reports.
"At Huttig, we know that time is money for residential contractors," says Greg Gurley, vice president. "That's why we are proud to distribute a product that saves labor and material costs compared to standard unfinished product. It's time and money well spent, and proves the partnership of Finished Elegance and Huttig just makes sense."
The primary market territory for Huttig's distribution in the Northeast will be Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.
"Woodgrain is excited to partner with Huttig for Northeast distribution of Finished Elegance." says Robb Hitch, divisional sales manager, Woodgrain Millwork. "Huttig understands the value Finished Elegance brings to customers and will do a great job introducing it into their market."

MMT Race Report – Adam Casseday
I decided last December that I was going to do Massanutten as my first 100 miler. Little did I know that the race would essentially begin on that ill-fated winter day so far away from the proposed May 17 start. Merely signing up became a race as the race closed in a matter of hours. After being lucky (or unlucky as I felt a few times Sat. night) enough to be on the entrants list, I planned a few weekend trips over to VA to make sure I knew the entire course and what to expect. After seeing the entire course, I had a very healthy respect for it. Lots of long climbs and tons of the infamous MMT rocks made me have a few doubts in the recesses of my brain about my sanity in choosing this race as my first go at 100 miles. Nonetheless, I decided to train very hard and be ready to run on May 17. My confidence grew as I secured a stellar crew, pacer, and fueling plan. All that was left on race-day was to put one foot in front of the other for 101.8 miles….just that easy.
5:00 am: The race started under clear and crisp skies. It starts out with a few miles of pavement before hitting the Buzzard Rocks trail. The pace was quite brisk up front in those early miles. I just sat back and just let everyone go. I settled in somewhere around 10th place in those early miles.6:00 am: Very early on I felt nauseous. I had never felt this way before in a race or training run. After about an hour of running, I vomited; another first. I just wanted to curl-up beside the trail and sleep and I was only 6 miles into the thing! I remember thinking, "How in the world am I going to finish this thing." After using my fingers to help rid myself of further stomach contents, I started feeling better. I think the problem was too much salt early on and that I just couldn't stomach it. My fueling plan consisted of pre-mixed Succeed Ultra and Clip2 with S-caps! already added to the solution so that I did not have to think/remember to take the capsules every hour. This was a mistake at least early on, but luckily as time went on I was able to stomach the salty solution despite the continued nausea. I came into Shawl Gap (mile 8.7) at 6:23 a.m., somewhere around 10/11th place, and got a new Fuel-belt from my crew.
8:54 am/ Habron Gap: (mile 24.4) I felt pretty good in the long section without crew access from Shawl to Habron. I picked up a few spots and cruised on the 4 mile road section into the aid station. I made a very quick stop at Habron and picked up a new belt and a hand-held to fuel me over the big climb and long section to Roosevelt.
10:49 am/ Camp Roosevelt: (mile 33.3) Still feeling quite smooth and comfortable. I just focused on fueling in this section. From Roosevelt to Gap Creek-1(38.9) and up Jawbone, I tried to just focus on running within myself and to force myself to fuel.
2:06 pm/ 211-1: (mile 48) I reached my crew in good shape and in 5th place overall. I grabbed another loaded Fuel-belt and started up Bird Knob. Around the top I caught up with Sean Andrish. He was having some stomach issues, but I knew he would be flying coming back down the mountain. I think the stomach nausea was contagious because before I got to the aid station at the top of Bird Knob I started feeling sick as well. I made it to the aid station and decided on just some good pure water. Nothing else sounded even remotely interesting to my gut. After about a half mile from the station heading back down the mountain, I got to examine my stomach contents again. I was convinced at that point that the salty pre-mixed solution was the culprit so I decided that once I got back down to 211, I was going to have my crew dilute the solution and try to keep it colder if possible.
4:12 pm/ 211-2: (mile 58.2) This is a very hectic aid station. I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible after informing my crew of the fuel changes. I grabbed another loaded belt and in the process passed Harland Peelle to move into 3rd.
5:40 pm/ Gap Creek-2: (mile 64.9) The entire course was very wet from all the rain the area had seen in the previous days and the water and rocks had taken their toll on my feet. Before the race, I was unsure whether or not I would change shoes. Gap Creek helped me make this decision. My feet had been wet all day and I had the blisters to prove it. My wonderful crew patched my feet, changed my socks and shoes, and had me quickly ready to make my assault on some of the most critical miles of the course. The goal now was to chase down the leaders. Keith and Todd were 45/46 minutes ahead respectively at this point. It was neck and neck with those guys and I was counting on them racing each other being their undoing.
6:22 pm/ Moreland Gap: (mile 67.7) I ran hard up Jawbone and into Moreland, closing the gap to 38 minutes on Todd and 33 minutes on Keith. This is where I picked-up Mongold to pace me. He was in typical Mongold fashion and pushing me to start to drop the hammer.
8:06 pm/ Edinburg Gap: (mile 75.9) Bradley and I ran Short Mountain very hard. I decided that I was going to do my best to put pressure on the guys up front and see if we could catch them. If I had anything left, now was the time to use it. We closed the gap on Walker to 28 minutes and Knipling to 24 minutes. We ran almost every step out of Edinburg to the top of the ridge and slowly settled in to darkness.
10:04 pm/ Woodstock Tower: (mile 84.1) We ran this section very hard as well. I may have walked a few moments, but that was quickly quelled with indignant shouts from Mongold, "Come on Casseday! Quit walking!" That was the night's mantra. We had gained more ground in this section. (19 minutes behind Walker and 18 minutes behind Knipling.) I tried to force down a Boost at the aid station, but I was only able to get in a few meager sips before Mongold insisted that we were wasting time. "Let's go get those guys!" he said.
11:25 pm/ Powells Fort: (mile 89.3) This is a relatively easy section and is a net downhill. It should have been easy, but this was one of my lowest points. I took some caffeine to try to pull myself out of the funk because I felt like I was just plodding along. I tripped, stumbled, and fell several times in this section and started to lose it a bit mentally. The caffeine helped, but I felt like we lost a lot of time on the leaders through this section. At Powell we were informed that Walker was 23 minutes ahead and Knipling was up 14 minutes. So it didn't go as bad as I thought, but I still wondered how much I had left after all this late-race surging.
1:20 am/ Elizabeth Furnace: (mile 96.8) We ran hard out of Powells Fort on the dirt road section, but I was unable to do much more than walk the climb on the single-track. I think that exhaustion and a small bonk were starting to set-in a bit. I kept it together and ran pretty solid down the backside of the mountain into Elizabeth Furnace. We were 23 minutes behind Keith and 24 minutes behind Todd at the aid station. I knew at that point that there was no way we were going to catch them before the finish. Keith and Todd are amazing runners. Guys like that don't make mistakes or give up easy; especially at the end of a race.
2:37 am/ Finish: (mile 101.8) Mongold and I just enjoyed the final climb over Shawl. We didn't push and simply power-walked it, talking the whole time and just enjoying the moment. There was a whippoorwill calling us toward the summit and I just took in the experience; soaking in the day's events. It was a great feeling reaching the top of Shawl that night. It was great to get to share those moments with Bradley as we ran down the mountain and our feet finally hitting the pavement leading us back to the lodge. It is hard to explain how great it felt and the emotional influx that occurred when I saw those lights across the field at the finish line. My mind was so vibrant and alive; not numb as so many others have described finishing 100 milers. I was focused on how blessed I am to be able to achieve something of this magnitude; I was focused on the prayers and well-wishes of those that I know care so much about me; I was focused on the moment. Then it was there. Then I was finished. 21 hours, 37 minutes, and 37 seconds.
Finishing a 100 mile race is quite analogous to this other race we all run; Life. There is a distinct beginning and end and it's what you do in the middle that makes all the difference. It's not about who finishes first, last, "third", or anywhere in between. Life and running are about purpose and aim; it's about the middle, the process, the adventure. Running this race was an amazing adventure and I will always cherish the moments spent in the Massanutten Mountains that day.
Hebrews 12:1 ….let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Pope Benedict XVI has been blasted by Jewish leadership worldwide for lifting the excommunications of four ultra-rightwing bishops last week.
Much of the attention has gone to one of the bishops, who recently said he did not believe Jews were systematically slaughtered in gas chambers during World War II.
Less attention has been paid to concerns by Jewish groups that all four were part of a group that rejected the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. One of those reforms included spelling out that the Catholic Church does not hold the Jews responsible for the death of Jesus.
"Christ-killer" was the fundamental charge at the root of lethal religious anti-Semitism for centuries. No longer would Catholics speak of the "perfidious Jews" in their Easter ceremonies. This reform was essential to establishing and nurturing Catholic Jewish dialog since the 1960s.
The idea that Benedict welcomed those bishops back into Communion (although not to ordained ministry) so outraged the chief rabbis of both the Ashkenazi (European) and Sephardi (Middle Eastern) Orthodox Jewish communities in Israel that they wrote to the Vatican to cancel a meeting planned for March.
Orthodox Jewish blogger DovBear has more critical details on the bishops, saying.
The Pope's new friends are into Holocaust denial, have given aid and comfort to a Nazi war criminal, and they insist on the age-old claim that we Jews killed Jesus.
Today, at his weekly audience, Benedict reiterated his "full and unquestionable solidarity with Jews," denounced the Holocaust (as he did after his visit to Auschwitz, one of the most notorious death camps built by the Nazis in Poland) and reminded the world that such crimes should never happen again.
Is that enough, to your thinking? Would you share worship with someone who denied the Holocaust? Do you think Benedict will be able to bring the traditionalists into the post-Vatican II world of Catholicism?

SAHM by July 2009
Ok, I have been working for the past 8 weeks on a goal to stay home. I do not find my career path to be as challenging as it once was and my desire to stay at home and have a simpler life has been growing. My dh is on board with this idea. When the decission was made there were some things that needed to be taken care of financially to make it easier when my pay disappears.
Goal #1 was to pay off dh motorcycle. This was reached in March 2009.
Goal #2 was to wait out the last Ortho payment from the insurance company for dd's braces. (We will not have dental coverage when I leave my job) This payment came yesterday.
Goal #3 is to pay off the cc. It is $4500. This will be the challenge. For some reason I cannot get this done. I am going to have to get creative as it is a doable goal with effort.
When I leave the work force we will still have a mortgage and a car payment. We will be able to add snowball to the car loan and then the mortgage after the credit card is paid off.
We have an EF fund and almost 4 months of expenses put away. This will still be a goal to bring up to 6 months.
I have made this a challenge because I have found in the past that it helps me stick to my goal. This is a big goal and one that I am very dedicated to.
If anyone has any kind of goal they are trying to accomplsh and would like to join me, please do. I love to read other peoples ideas and give them a try. I will update as often as I can.
Sounds like you have a great plan!!!05-10-2009, 09:02 AM #3

Thanks for the support. Today I have hung 2 loads of laundry. I have done 6 but needed to get it done today for the week. I will be working on it during the week so I can hang more to dry. I made 2 loaves of oatmeal honey bread (I hope it tastes OK) and brownies for the dd's lunches. I went to MyPoints and ordered a $25 giftcard for Bass Pro Shop (there is a hat dh would like). I will be starting dinner (Spaghetti & Salad) in about 15 minutes. My major goal for this week is no stops at the grocery store and no eating out. I hope everyone has a great Monday!05-10-2009, 08:59 PM #7

I think this is wonderful. When I got pregnant with my son I was doing a heavy lifting type job. It had taken me a year to get pregnant, so I wanted to be careful. I quit my job totally. We got a credit card. I just paid it off in Feb, (three years after getting it). It is difficult to find money when my need diapers and formula and have one less income. I now do about 5 hours in an office (and take my son with me) and do five hours at home. This works out well for me. I make enough to fund the emergency fund and most unseen bills. Good luck!05-11-2009, 10:54 PM #8

Just a little background. I have 3 dd's. They are 14, 15 (will be 16 in a couple of weeks) and 1 that is 18. I have noticed that we are all just constantly running. The oldest dd is graduating from high school in June. She has been in a high school here that combines college classes and limited high school classes. Her high school classes (2 this year) are actually on the college campus. The other 3 classes she took this semester are college classes. She goes to her clases, has a job and of course the boyfriend. My other 2 dd's go to a Magnet school (oriented to what they are looking for in a career) and they get up at 4am and are on the bus to school by 5:30. After school and activities (one is involved in student council the other is on the softball team) they get home anywhere between 3:45 and 6pm. Both my husband and I work full time and run around the rest of the time chasing kids. Over the last several weeks I have been observing how we do things. The first thing is no one (except dh) is organized. I should have Danger Zone on the girl's bedroom door's. I have noticed that I buy things for school projects, activities, etc but then I will find the same item (bought on a previous trip to the store) in a closet or drawer. So I have ended up buying things twice. I also no longer think outside the box when things are needed. For a while I had a stock pile of syrup not because it was a good deal and on sale, but because my pantry was in chaos so I kept thinking we needed more (of course for the frozen all ready made waffles because there was no time for cooking them in the perfectly good waffle iron I own).
The other thing I have been noticing is the amount of laundry in this house. We all do laundry so I have no idea how many loads are done a week. I have curbed the wash load with just a couple of items in it when I realized that was going on, but I know we are still doing way to much. So these items are definately money wasters.
I will be observing and starting to change habits over the next several weeks so that I can start to see the savings in the very near future (like the next utility bill or trip to the store). I'm sure there will be grumbles along the way, but the outcome is well worth it.
Today everyone brown bagged lunch and had breakfast and dinner at home. The vegie garden is looking good (I have several Early Girl tomatoes on the vine) and everything else is getting bigger. They are loving the 90+ temps. I can't wait for a fresh tomato. 2 loads of laundry hung to dry.05-11-2009, 11:07 PM #9

Do you have a change jar? I was thinking you could put that on your credit card. I am using my change jar for extra on my credit card and also does your state have bottle return? In Maine we do i am also using that for extra to throw on the credit card.05-12-2009, 12:13 PM #11
Sounds like you have a great plan!
I just reached that goal in February--quit my job for good! It was an awesome feeling, and even better knowing how hard we worked to pay off debts and get to the place we're in now!05-12-2009, 04:03 PM #12
I was a negative retoucher for many years which allowed me to work from home to be there with my kiddos and I am so thankful for that even though I hated to retouch negatives(I was great at it so go figure) then when computers took over and I was out of a job dh said "Stay home where you want to be with the kids."
I never looked back. It was the best thing for me, my family, and my home.
You can throw yourself 110% into your job--HOME--and trust me, it is a JOB, and be so satisfied.
I am happy for you that you are going to be able to do what you feel is right for you and your family.05-12-2009, 10:26 PM #13

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm waiting for someone to ask me at work what the little x's in the corner of everyday on my desk calendar are for. I am counting the days!
Thanks for the change jar suggestion. We do have one and have been saving change for are vaction this summer. I didn't think to use it for the cc I will discuss it with DH. Every bit helps. I am not aware of can and bottle recycling here, I use to do it when we lived in CA and it was a nice chunck of change each time. It would really be nice right now.
I cannot wait to give 110% to my family and home. I thought when I went back to work 7 years ago after being a SAHM for 5 years, that was what I wanted. I worked hard and moved up and then the company moved its office. I had to move with them or find a new job. So I started a new job 2 years ago. I just don't have the same desire and drive that I did. I also can look back and see how much time and effort I put into the job instead of my family.
I am so thankful that my DH is on board and supportive of the idea, I wouldn't be able to accomplish this otherwise. My youngest dd seems to be the most enthusiastic about the whole idea.
Today I washed hung 1 load of laundry, made muffins for breakfast and a cake for lunches.
Hope everyone has a great day!05-15-2009, 05:58 PM #14

Over the last couple of days I have hung laundry, brown bagged lunches, homemade meals at home for breakfast and dinner. I had to have wisdom teeth pulled this morning,not fun! I was happy to hear that it was $60.00 less then they quoted me. The left over amount paid the copay on my RX and DH's 2 RX's. It has been getting warmer here so that means the air is on, so I will have to learn how to use the thermostat. We realized last summer that DD's have figured it out and would just change it when it got to hot for them. There in for a suprise this summer, it is staying at a temp DH and I agree on. Tomorrow is DH's payday so I will do a quick update of what was paid to the cc.05-18-2009, 09:39 PM #15

So, in my last post I said I would update on DH's payday which was suppose to have been Saturday. His paycheck was not automatically deposited so had to wait until the office was open today to find out that they didn't hit a button and so he got a check instead. First time in 3 years. Oh well!
It is nice to start seeing that a few changes are working and there is extra money. The main thing so far is the grocery bill. I hope to bring it down even more. I hope to see a little change in the utility bills, but with the heat (air is running) it will probably be about the same. I have been going after lights left on and phantom usage, but I konw I can still improve in this area.
This weekend I baked 2 loaves of bread for the week and made rice krispie treats for lunches. I used strawberry marshmallows, they are GOOD! I also hung all but 1 load of laundry.
I was able to pay $500.00 towards the credit card after paying the other bills. I hope to pay more wednesday when I get paid.

EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS – Childhood toys lost in a war-torn field have inspired an odd-looking invention that its young Dutch inventor hopes can help save thousands of lives and limbs in his native Afghanistan.
Decades of war, notably the 1979-89 Soviet invasion, have left the rugged Afghan countryside littered with land mines that continue to exact a merciless toll, mainly on children.
Now, in a small workshop in the industrial heart of the southern city of Eindhoven, 29-year-old Massoud Hassani screws in the last leg of an ingenious, wind-driven gadget he built to clear antipersonnel mines. He calls the device, the size of a golf buggy, a "mine kafon."
"The idea comes from our childhood toys which we once played with as kids on the outskirts of Kabul," Hassani said as he rolled out the device for a demonstration.
Short for "kafondan," which in Hassani's native language of Dari means "something that explodes," the kafon consists of 150 bamboo legs screwed into a central metal ball.
At the other end of each leg, a round, white plastic disk the size of a small frisbee is attached via a black rubber car part for drive shafts, called a CV-joint boot.
Assembled, the spherical kafon looks like a giant tumbleweed or seed head. And like the dandelion puff it moves with the wind. The kafon is designed to be blown around, exploding antipersonnel mines as it rolls on the ground.
With the legs made from bamboo, they are easily replaceable. Once they are blown off it's simply a matter of screwing on others, which means the kafon can be used over and over.
Inside the steel ball, a GPS device plots the kafon's path as it rolls through an area that may be mined and shows on a computerized map exactly where it is safe to walk.
Hassini is still in the testing stages, notably to make sure there is 100 percent contact between the kafon's "feet" and the ground, so no mines are missed.
Initial trials — some using explosives with the Dutch Defense Force and an in-the-field rolling test in Morocco last year — showed promising results.
"We know this is a working prototype and that we need to do lots of testing still," said Hassani, saying the kafon will not be deployed in real situations until it is 100 percent proven.
The designer and his brother, Mahmud, 27, are now looking for sponsors, notably through an online platform. They hope to raise $160,000 in donations by next month to fund development and take the device to Afghanistan in August for more trials.
It will be the brothers' first time home after fleeing Taliban-ruled Kabul. Massoud fled first in 1998, followed two years later by Mahmud, in arduous treks through Pakistan and Uzbekistan. They finally made their way to the Netherlands, where they were accepted as refugees and today hold Dutch citizenship.
Massoud landed a place at the Design Academy Eindhoven — regarded as one of the world's foremost industrial design schools — where he first conceived the project in 2010.
"I had to design a toy from my childhood," said the shaggy-haired inventor. "I went back into my childhood in a dream. I saw the toys we made and how they rolled into a minefield," he said. "We could never get them back."
Despite huge progress in mine-clearing in Afghanistan in recent years, it is still one of the world's most mined countries.
Since 1989, around 650,000 antipersonnel mines, 27,000 antitank mines and more than 15 million other pieces of unexploded ordnance have been collected, according to the U.N.-funded Mine Action Coordination Center of Afghanistan.
Last June, the U.N. said there were still 5,233 "danger zones" covering 588 sq. km putting more than 750,000 people at risk.
At least 812 people were wounded or killed last year by mines, victim-triggered improvised explosive devices and other ordnance left over from the Afghan wars, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization Handicap International said.

Countryside has a knack for producing linemen who play in college.
In the past five seasons, four offensive tackles for the Cougars — Tyler Moore (Florida), Jeff Albert (Jacksonville), Brandon Pertile (Mesa Community College) and Giovanni Negron (Southeast Missouri State) — moved on to the next level
Riley Metheney could be the next.
The rising senior, who transferred from Dixie Hollins at the start of the semester, is 6 feet 4, 280 pounds. He already has an offer from Alabama-Birmingham and anticipates picking up more this spring.
"I've been working as hard as possible," Metheney said. "There are some other schools that have showed interest. My goal is to have multiple offers by the end of the spring."
Metheney switched schools because his family moved to Clearwater. It didn't hurt that he was joining a program with a reputation for churning out collegiate prospects up front.
"As a lineman, I couldn't ask to be at a better place," Metheney said. "This is what they're known for."
Metheney said there was not too much of an adjustment in picking up the offense because the Rebels ran a similar style of spread. He will continue to work in the weight room and attend camps this spring.
"These guys are used to winning, and they're hungry to make the playoffs," Metheney said. "Hopefully, we can get there."

Hotel Rio Malecon
Top City Hotel
170 Morelos Centro, Puerto Vallarta, JA
0.3 km from
Rp 493,333+
The price is obviously a plus. The staff were really nice and the concierge spoke really good English. The air conditioning worked really well. The pool is beautiful however right in the middle of everything so everyone is watching you from the restaurant and the hotel rooms. I also liked the location, it felt right inside of the culture of Puerto Vallarta, it didn't give off that resort vibe at all, if that's what you're looking for. The shower we had would always flood the entire bathroom, with only a thin curtain and no ledge to catch the excess water. Also, everything just felt dirty. We found a weird yellowish stain on our sheets and they always felt a little sticky. Oh and by far the worst part was all of the fleas. There were hundreds of fleas in the bed, on the floor. Everywhere. And even though the air conditioning worked, it was so loud it's hard to hear your spouse talk.
The rooms were clean and has your basic needs. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We needed to use the phone to confirm a tour and the guy at the front desk called for me. They also stored our bags for us while we went out since check out was at noon and we didn't have to leave until later. The beach was not even a minute walk away. The market was across the street and there were placed to eat all around us. The location was great. I wish the wi-fi worked throughout the hotel and not just in our room.
Being in the heart of the city. Walk to cathedral, bus to Arches for snorkelling, local authentic Emilio Zapata market. Family owned restaurants Main city street noise. Get room off Main street
Excellent staff, excellent location, clean and comfortable room, quiet. Would recommend to anyone that wants a great place at a great price. WiFi in the room would cut out a lot.
Nothing. Did not get free cancellation! Still had to pay. I will be fighting with my credit card. Even outside of three days. They still refused to cancel for free.
Front desk staff was friendly and hotel is easy access to boardwalk. Room was in poor condition. Stains on bedding, mattress hard and uncomfortable, and had to stand on a chair to reach the A/C unit. Booked another hotel and checked out within an hour. Encino refused to give a refund.
Hotel Encino is a charming old world beauty at a great price! Great location near markets, shops, restaurants and beach/boardwalk.
Roof top pool often empty ( while I was there ) Roof top restaurant awesome food and cheap Maid were friendly Gilberto - one of the front desk employee Who is very friendly and alway smiling and goes beyond to help you if you need anything. Roof top restaurant only open at 4pm and closed Mondays. It was cheap and good food. Wish they were open earlier Did not sell or provide ice Bedsheets and towels often stained-
Price bathrrom smelled like sewer bed was VERY hard pillows were hard
The staff and service at this hotel were above and beyond expectations. The location is perfect being that it is steps away from everything that Viejo Vallarta offers and even closer to the malecon and the beach. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Like one of the reviewers noted, I too was placed in a room that faced the air conditioning units in the courtyard. The best outcome for this situation is that I know I would have been moved to a better room if I had asked. But I was only there one night so didn't bother.
Very very clean and comfy. Great breakfasts. Close to beach & restaurants Can't think of nothing
Sightseeing & relaxed & ate ALOT of authentic Mexican Foods Loved EVERYTHING I definitely will be back VERY soon
Booked at a great price of $50. Not sure I would stay at their published price of 1200 peosos. A bit expensive. Very clean, very comfortable, very quiet, very friendly staff, great location, but no character. No character. Could have been in any city on n the US
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The hotel was literally about 3 min from the airport, but even though it's so close you don't hear all the noise that comes with. Wing close to airports. The breakfast was delicious and there is an excellent. Also go to the restaurant Alta it's great. We only requested 1 key card for the room because we were only staying 1 night, and you need your key card to turn on all the lights and electricity in the room, which we didn't know in advance. So always get at least 2 cards so if 1 person leaves.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The breakfast was great and the service at breakfast was great. The staff does not respect your belongings that you leave behind your room. I left my sun glasses and when I came back I had no sun glasses.
Rooms are big and seem newish. Takes a bus ride to get to the beach. Nice clientele. Desk was very helpful. No
Staff always accommodating
Close to airpOrt. Great restaurant across parking lot. Big grocery supermarket just across the street.Marina food and shopping just a few blocks south. Great complementary breakfast. Small pool area.
A very nice modern hotel. Rooms were spacious. Staff was helpful. Learn to take the bus because it is away from the beaches and away from downton. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. Location. Safe neighborhood but nothing ingesting near by. Great place for a short stay.
Standards met rooms staff breakfast pool Area location Would stay again
Since it is pretty early for heavy tourist traffic, the rate was unbelievable.. Beautiful pool, great restaurant, free full breakfast. Very modern. Professional staff. Nice exercise room. Loved it. Nothing
I liked the view and the balcony The elevator was not working and I informed not for a long time
The view was beautiful. The locations was great.I couldn't stay an entire week because the bed was uncomfortable but a couple nights if you want to be in downtown puerto vallarta is nice. You wouldn't stay here if you were interested in beaching it only for shopping and restaurants.
The view is amazing! Every room has an ocean view. If you want a balcony, get a jr suite. The jr and master suites have a full kitchen (studios have a kitchenette) and there are several supermarkets within walking distance. A nice alternative to restaurant food every day. Barrie, the owner, and his team are wonderful. The location is perfect- the Malecon and beach are 4 blocks away. Plenty of shopping and dining choices nearby. Check out Pipi's for great food/service and and the biggest margarita you've ever seen! I highly recommend this hotel and will stay here in the future!
The view of the old town and the ocean from the room was breathtaking - a gorgeous sunset every night! It was great to have our own kitchen, and everything about the room was comfortable, though not luxurious. Overall I would highly recommend it! On some nights, there was a disco in town that despite its significant distance away from the hotel, still managed to blare their music audibly at 5am. Also, the pool was freezing. But I'd still stay there again in a heartbeat!
centrally located, wonderful view at the ocean and city, lot of space with well equipped kitchen, nice mexican style at Friday/Saturday night really loud due to loud music coming up the hill...starts at app. 12 p.m...need to party yourself ;-)
The views and the location, but the service and overall facilities are old and run down The front desk people aren't really into servicing customers.
seaview, affordable It is more a general observation that booking a cheap room will put you in the worst room available so that you complain and pay a lot more than was ones intention booking at booking.com. And the tric seams to be to make a good sounding name for that particular room available on internet, put it on the website as a room more expensive than other rooms, but in fact it's where even Harry Potter wouldn^t want to sleep in and only put his broom in.
Absolutely loved the view from any room in the building and accessibility to the town and beach. Also the narrow and steep streets leading to it. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Both times they had problems with the credit card machine. It was down.
The spacious junior suite was wonderful and the view was spectacular from the 5th floor during New Year's celebrations. Not so friendly front desk.

Pepsi-Cola can ads to promote recycling
- April
- 15
In an effort to boost aluminum recycling, Pepsi-Cola North America will begin placing messages on Pepsi products reminding consumers to recycle cans and keep them out of the waste stream.
The ads, which will appear on some 500 million Pepsi cans and about 250 million Diet Pepsi cans each month, or 7 billion cans by year-end, are part of campaign to make recycling a part of consumers' daily lives, the beverage unit of Purchase-based PepsiCo Inc. said today.
The ads will contain facts and messages from the National Recycling Coalition, a non-profit organization that promotes recycling and waste reduction.
Most people recycle when they remember to, said Kate Krebs, the Coalition's executive director. "That's why reminding people about the positive impact of simply recycling an aluminum can is so powerful.â€
The five recycling messages include recycling facts, such as recycling a single can can save enough energy to power a 100-watt light bulb for four hours, Pepsi said.

Two PIR wall switches for a single lightbulb?
Hi! First post. I'm from UK if that makes a difference to the questions below. Please read the scenario over carefully, because I'm not sure whether what I want to do would be classed as a 2-way system or not. Thanks!
The ceiling light in the entrance hall is currently controlled by an ugly push button timer switch at the bottom of the stairs and a standard on/off switch at the top of the stairs.
The timer switch always works regardless of the position of the on/off switch, but when the on/off switch is 'on' it overrides the timer switch, keeping the light on forever even if the timer has timed out.
I like the idea of replacing both the push button switch and the on/off switch with a couple of these PIR wall switches with timers:
I want the light to switch and stay on for 3 minutes no matter whether a sensor is passed at the top of the stairs, or the bottom, OR BOTH PIRs within a few seconds of each other.
I think that the product is not specifically designed for a two way system (it doesn't say)? However, is it actually a two way system if you want the lights to stay ON when both switches are triggered?
In my current setup, it is impossible for the lights to be off unless BOTH switches are off. Assuming these PIRs are one way switches, is it possible to wire them up in the same way as the existing setup so that the lights will only go off when both timers have timed out?
connect the light to both switch making them an OR gate logic, either one can turn it on... and use the auto mode of the light, that means either one can turn it on and set time's on option to 3 minutes (if doable by the switch) so both switch will be off at after 3 minutes and light shut off...and anyone trigger on , light will come on... should work... to use an existing wire, this would be tricky but should be doable...as the wire are three wires + a ground right now, just make sure use two of it and abandon the other one... and both switch hot connect to incoming hot, neutral connect to incoming neutral, and both output are together to the light...
Hmmmm. What?! Assuming PIR switch has two holes (standard 1 way switch), which wire goes where? All I know from a movie I saw that cutting the red wire is a bad idea. :laughing: Don't forget I'm UK. Does this make a difference to the scenario?
your switch is wired incorrectly ... then... I saw contractor before unable to read those 3 ways switch diagram and then I correct them it work... about 10 years ago...
the problem is you still have a 3 wires situation... you can use a tester to test which wire (red,black,white) has voltage... after disconnecting them all of them... to find the true hot wires.... now how to find the true neutral.... if you have a multimeter then you can measure the resistance to the light's hot and neutral to determine the neutral wire and output hot wire...
gee it is easy to say... but doing it is another story... I assume you know the main switch to shut off for this mess around though...
if your wire only contain 2 wires, black and white then you can do it without all those guessing above...
I just thought of an idea, find another device control by the same circuit... then use multimeter to find the true hot wire and true neutral wire by this device, resistance = 0 then you are the master of the game... tool required: a long wire you can cut for connecting to this device, a outlet is preferrable...
Sound like a pain in the proverbial. I'll take the current switches out tomorrow to have a peak and will come back to let you know. How does one post pics on this forum? :huh: Stay tooooned.

Graffiti house upsets property owner and nearby residents
Summerland eyesore has few solutions
SUMMERLAND, Calif. - A vacant home, covered in graffiti is an eyesore in Summerland. For now, however, the property owner is having a frustrating time cleaning it up, and resolving a land use dispute with both the railroad and the county.
The house is landlocked.
Jeff O'Neil was in escrow when Southern Pacific sold the rail lines to Union Pacific.
Soon, a piece of land at the entrance way to O'Neil's bluff top property was declared the property of Union Pacific. O'Neil is leasing it to get to his house, and he would like to buy it. But so far, there's no deal.
He also says the county won't let him work on his house until that access is resolved.
O'Neil says years ago the railroad tracks were moved closer to the ocean and that's when land issues began. "You see the tracks used to be further inland and they had to move them over to make room for the the freeway," he said.
In the meantime, vandals have had their way. Graffiti taggers have marked up several areas including the roof.
The Inn at Summerhill across the freeway from the house has a clear view of the tagging. The owners are upset saying guests have noticed.
"It's definitely a discouragement to business. We've had people check in and ask what's the situation with that," said Steve Richardson. "It's always a thorn in our side."
Richardson is also trying to sell a house nearby and the view issue has also been brought up. "There wasn't a single person who came to view the property including several who wanted to make an offer who didn't bring that up," said Richardson. "It's like a magnet out there. If you scan the horizon looking for whales, that's what you see (referring to the graffiti)."
O'Neil says he has problems dealing with the graffiti and when asked how many times he has painted over the work of taggers he said, "Oh, maybe four or five times," he said. But it only lasted about three days. Taggers were back and the damage was back.
Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal says, "this is indeed a complicated issue. It's a parcel that is landlocked."
He also says, "in the land use world you do not allow certain developments or modifications to any building when there is no access."
And when it comes to the cleanup, "regrettably the county does not have a graffiti ordinance in place to allow the county to compel the owner to remove the graffiti as soon as possible," said Carbajal.
O'Neil says he hopes to hear from Union Pacific in the next month to possible come up with a workable solution.
If the problem is resolved, O'Neil has a uniquely designed new home for the 75 by 60-foot parcel that he says will be a beautiful addition to the coastline.
