Honestly I feel bad, her self esteem must be so shitty if she still honestly believes she's on the outside looking in, but I cannot get with that. I just do not have the patience to listen to her whining about wanting to be cool and accepted.
Plus I just don't like her songs.
In terms of her songs, the one song I like is this one done for the Hunger Games called 'Safe and Sound'. Mostly because it sounds absolutely nothing like what she sounds like in her own songs. It's featuring another group called The Civil Wars and the music video is pretty much her walking around with no eyeliner on and chapped lips wearing a virginal white dress and looking pouty, but the song is actually pretty nice.
I personally see that 'outsider' persona of Taylor Swift to be a fabrication. To me I find it this marketing tool to sell her songs to the high school girls who are mad that big breasted girls in shorts are 'taking their boyfriends' with sexuality. Her songs are about being the good girl versus the bad girl or the good girl versus a bad guy. It's always singing a song to the 'good girls' out there who just wear big glasses and tee shirts, like a tumblr meme gone wrong.
I wonder if she really see's herself as this outsider character or if she's just been told to sell herself as such and is just too damn naive to know what's going on.
Ill tell you what people look like, really: they look like flames. Or like the stars, on a clear night in the wilderness.

I am a big fan of the on-line savings accounts I hold.
I want to make it clear that these accounts are held with on-line banks. There are several LARGE banks that have on-line banking, but they pay VERY LOW interest.
Here are some of the reasons I like on-line banks so much.
- Excellent interest rates. Their interest rates are usually equal to 30-month CD rates, but you do not lose the liquidity of your money. This is excellent compared to my large bank that I use for bill paying which is currently paying nearly 0% interest AND has a minimum balance of $300 or else I am subjected to a $3/month "monthly maintenance fee".
- No fees. No minimum balance fees. No on-line banking fees.
- FDIC-insured. I like having my deposits backed by the FDIC.
- Excellent user-interfaces. They are both very user-friendly and intuitive. I am a simple guy, and I like it when my banking is that way too.
- Security. Both banks have unique log-in procedures that ensure that I am who I say I am.
There are other good on-line savings accounts out there too, but I do not have accounts them so I can not adequately say how good they are.
Here are the names of on-line savings accounts that I have heard good things about.
- FNBO Direct
- Ally Bank
- Emigrant
What other banks out there have excellent savings rates AND excellent customer service?

They stick you in Tennessee as well. $75 for a class, then $115 for CCL application...
I am new to the board I have just purchased a Sigma 40VE. I had one years ago and loved it. I have also purchased the wolff reduced striker spring to make it easier for my step daughter and wife to shoot. However I cannot find anywhere on the net to show me how to replace this spring. Any ideas?
I just got a Sigma 40 for $249 and I must say it's well worth it.
I can feed M&P 40 any brand of ammo with no problems and I've read that the Sigmas are a little finicky. What's the best brand for a Sigma .40 ?
I've had zero FTF or FTE's with this gun, it eats any ammo I feed it.
For target I use Aguila 180g FMJ, and on duty I use Federal HST 155g HP, and buy them both from ammunitiontogo
At the range today I ran WW, Federal. Blazer and Monarch through it with no problems and I must say that I was Impressed with the outcome.
For the most part, I played Santa Claus this year (as I do every year!), but I treated myself to the 9mm Sigma. I finally got to the range yesterday and fired 100 rounds and I even got my wife to fire it. Now it looks like we will be buying a second one just for her!
Happy New Year and Good Shooting,
I put a Pachmayr #3 slip-on grip on my .40 today and now it fits like a glove.
Got my Sigma back from S&W and she has a sweet tigger pull just like any S&W should have.
10.5 when she came out the box and still after 500 rounds.
After a visit to S&W she is 5.5 pounds.

Just a note the bug that requires copying the airodump data file into the directory has been fixed in the later svn updates and will be fixed in the final release.
Thanks to Thex1le for his work on this...
Follow-up to my original post regarding Network Stumbling with Kismet & Airodump-ng ( http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=20574 )
There's a few threads in the forum mentioning airgraph-ng, but here is a quick How-To in using the tool...
Works on my BT4b HDD system, but LiveCD(DVD) version should work as well.
1. You are running BT4b, and have already stumbled thru your WiFi environment using airodump-ng.
2. You wish for your captured data to be plotted in simple, graphical form.
1. On your BT4b system, go find the set of files that airodump-ng wrote. You will need the the .txt file for this exercise. For me, this is always:
2. Move or copy the .txt file into the airgraph-ng directory:Code:root@bt:~/Desktop/captures#
3. Decide if you want Client to AP, or Client Probe graph. I've included both examples here.Code:root@bt:~/Desktop/captures# cp cap1-02.txt /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng
4. cd to the airgraph-ng sub directory, run your collected .txt file thru airgraph-ng:
If all goes well, expect to see:Code:root@bt:~/Desktop/captures# cd /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng root@bt:/pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng# ./airgraph-ng.py -i cap1-02.txt -o all4.png -g CAPR
My simple, simple capture file cap1-02.txt produced:Code:Warning Images can be large! Creating your Graph, Depending on your system this can take a bit. Please standby.............. Graph Creation Complete! root@bt:/pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng#
Next, use the -CPG option:
My simple, simple capture file cap1-02.txt produced:Code:root@bt:/pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng# ./airgraph-ng.py -i cap1-02.txt -o all3.png -g CPG
Errors Encountered
It seems that you need to move or copy the .txt file into airgraph-ng's directory to get it working. Here's what happened when I disregarded this advice:
READMECode:root@bt:~/Desktop/captures# /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/airgraph-ng/airgraph-ng.py -i cap1-02.txt -o all3.png -g CAPR Support libary import error does lib_Airgraphviz exist?
Finally for completeness, here's the README file:
Comments, Corrections, Clarifications & Amplifications welcome.Code:Welcome to airgraph-ng !!! Please note due to a lack of PNG support in Graphviz under BackTrack 3 Airgraph-ng is not currently supported here. I am aware of the issue i just havent had time to fix it!!!!!! airgraph-ng's purpose is to graph the txt file that is created when you run airodump with the -w option The idea is that we are showing the relationships of the clients to the AP's so dont be shocked if you see only one mapping as you may only have captured one client airgraph-ng depends are as follows graphviz with png support airodump >= 1.0 python The program usage is as follows airgraph-ng -i [your txt file] -o [the output file in png format] -g [graph Format option is either CAPR or CPG] I am happy to indroduce an option for graph types There are two current graph types CAPR or Client to AP Relationship This shows you all the clients attached to a particular AP CPR or Client Prob Graph This showes you all the clients that are sending out probe requests for the same ESSID's ;-) Fake AP any one? Once you have airgraph-ng set up and installed i have included some test data to allow you to quickly see if airgraph-ng is working. This data can be found in the test directory inside the libs directory Airgraph-ng sets graphviz to use the latin character set if this is a problem for you please let me know. I did this to clear up a bug i had with the CPG graphs dumpjoin.py is a short support script that will allow you to join two airodump CSV files into one. Run the program with no arugments to see the usage This is still a work in progress if you have questions contact TheX1le at thex1le <AT> gmail.com
Best Regards.
Just a note the bug that requires copying the airodump data file into the directory has been fixed in the later svn updates and will be fixed in the final release.
I really love the visualization of networking. I read somewhere that there was a script in the airgraph-ng folder for merging csv files. I have 10 of them with a total of 100 hours from airodump.
How do I go about merging the files using this script. Could not find anything on google ie.
All the best

Hi vvpalin,
Both locate and find are not showing a dumpjoin.py in BT4 (or Airgraph-NG folder). Did I delete it when I was fumbling around with my own code?
All the best
Disregard that I suxs .....
I had a zillion files called dump-XXX.txt in the airgraph-ng folder and I got rid of them like this rm dump* . Would somebody kick me in the nuts! Not to mention the code is here http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/trun...g/dump-join.py
Let me explain officer, I am not a hacker. I am a security tester of sorts!
onryo post the commands that are needed as it will help others shave a few moments off there time trying to get it to work.

The dumpjoin.py name might be wrong since I just copy pasted the python code from the link into nano and called it dumpjoin.py.
If you want to save save a lot of space from lets say a 48 hour scan I would use the --nocap in airodump.
# airodump-ng --nocap -w plop_3 mon0
Its the CSV file that has all the info in it. I just cp them over to the airgraph-ng folder and call them .txt. It would be really neat if this could also graph the signal strength from the APs in CAPR.
Best to ya!

Taking to the international stage to debut his spring 2010 collection, it is rather fitting that Dries Van Noten's latest vision encompasses the convergence of East and West design motifs. Relaxed silhouettes matched with an eclectic mix of exotic prints made for an enchanting engagement. Ingeniously, a variety of color was used, while also demonstrating restraint–maintaining practicality for everyday use. Proving that the suit can be more than just moody or serious, its structure was broken down for a casual relaxed fit that was simply tied in at the waist. Pleated trousers were in full effect, but what really stole the show were the collection's baggier loose-slung trousers that provided a refreshing break from today's typical slim silhouette. Offering finished options, batiks dressed iridescent materials, while patterned oxfords held their own among low-key sandal backed sneakers. Ultimately, Dries Van Noten's carefree mixing of free flowing separates and ethnic patterns results in a collection that is young, fresh, intelligent and above all–sophisticated.

|For us the 5th pitch was the 5.8 corner ending on the summit. After moving the belay to the notch below the chimney, the 3rd pitch gets you up into the chimney a ways and the 4th up and out of the chimney to the bottom of the 5th pitch (watch for rope drag in the chimney!) I think there were 4 single rope raps to get to the slopes below the Steeple/Lost Temple Spire col.

|A very good but not great climb, interesting only for the novelty of the chimney pitch. That said though, the 5th pith (5.8 corner)to the summit is excellent. It is possible to descend into the Black Joe Drainage on the east side of the peak, from the notch after the third rappel. Keep bearing to the left as you descend, aiming for the snow fields. This was a great hike out; skirting the northern buttress of Haystack to reurn to our Deep Lake camp. I have attached photos of all of this.

|I've done this route twice, so my enthusiasm is evident. Hard to imagine a better finishing pitch a great 5.8 corner that ends as one virtually touches the summit with your hand, with exhilarating exposure the entire length of the pitch. The "chimney" is totally unique. More like a daylight, above-ground spelunk. You feel as if you have been absorbed by the bowels of the mountain the "chimney" is so large. Various ways exist to worm through this passage and exit below the aforesaid final pitch. All this and a technical descent from a beautifully sculptured peak. This is a great climb. I might do it a third time.

We totally loved this route.
The chimney pitch was tough for the grade but totally awesome. Maybe there is an easier way than the way we went? It was pretty physical toward the top, but nothing a bit of Vedauwoo training won't prepare you for!
For the final pitch we did the variation that steps right from the big ledge and goes up the right facing dihedral/handcrack to the summit. It was stellar!
By Alison Conrad

|Great route on excellent rock. Pitch 1 is over 200 ft. We simulclimbed to get to the notch. P2 goes over blocks and utilizes the double crack system to the third class ledge. The chimney pitch is unique. Tunnel thru and head up. It will look like it does not go, but it seems to work. Gear can be a little hard to get. Belay at next pedestal. Next pitch exits the chimney and has some awkward moves. Last pitch is awesome crack corner that is clean and protects well. Four short raps get you down where you follow grassy ledges to the bottom. Standard rack to #3. Doubles of everything.

Very fun and adventurous climb. Every pitch is interesting in its own way. The last pitch (5.8 variation) is absolutely beautiful.
A little beta on the chimney: On the first chimney pitch there's a rather exposed and hard to protect short traverse before you get into the chimney, then the actual chimney section is very short and easy. The 2nd chockstone where you belay is only about 10 feet above the corridor floor. If you have packs it's easy to haul them up the 10 feet separately.
The actual "tunneling" is just a walk/scramble around the corner to the right where you set up the next belay. The second chimney pitch is a bit wider (stemming wide) so packs aren't a problem here.
Flashlights are not required. Combining these two pitches seems rather problematic.
The raps off are obvious. We didn't need to rap any of the grassy ledges, although we did see the slings. Only one rope required.
Well worth doing. The views from the summit are great.

|You can also take a "scramble" route at the top of the chimney, in lieu of the crack system, if you care to skip it. Scramble over the chockstone roof at the top of the chimney, to under, around, and on top of a big leaning block. One exposed crack move then takes to about a 30ft scramble to the top.

|The blue guide-book mentions a 5.9 finish as opposed to the scramble - it's well worth it! Instead of hanging left after scrambling out of the chimney work your way right to an obvious crack that will take you to the summit. Awesome pitch - adventurous route!

Doing the chimney / tunnel "pitch" in one pitch seemed like a bad idea due to the way the rope would run--I agree with BruceB's comment.
Some topos I saw gave the tunnel an "R." I'm generally reluctant to say pro is good lest someone rely on that and get injured for whatever reason. But it seemed to me that solid gear was available with no terrifying runouts (no wide gear is necessary--nothing bigger than #3 C4--and it would take huge big bros, if that, to span the chimney/tunnel). To start the chimney pitch, I pulled the 5.8 finger crack, then went right, up, and back left (use very long runners) before entering the chimney proper.
That said, part of "easy" chimney climbing is that you are your own pro, and so don't take this as any guarantee, just my subjective experience.

We heard about a sketchy descent from folks there, plus there are a lot of mixed information here. We had a very straight forward, easy descent using two 60m ropes. Here are the details:
1. From summit, look through the port hole to the Cirque to the north. Downclimb (3rd class) about 10' on the east side of the summit. Walk south to an obvious rap. 80'.
1b. Stay on rap and walk south for about 10-15' to avoid the slightly slopey, very exposed corner.
2. Continue walking south along the big, wide, flat ridge to the next obvious rap. We threw both ropes to be completely safe. I would guess this one is probably 125 - 130'.
3. Walk a bit further south until you see some purple webbing sticking out of the ridge a few hundred feet away. Scramble southward along the slightly broken ridge to the next rap.
4. Rap off the west side from this dubious rap set up on a nut and two pitons. This was way more than 100'. Probably 150' to the ledge system.
5. Follow the (mostly) cairned, fairly easy path along the grassy ledges and slabs to the talus near the upper lake.

My partner and I were kind of shocked that there is no discussion here of the approach for this climb. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT THE FULL ADVENTURE, STOP READING!
However, if you do want some info, here ya go: from Upper Deep Lake, look straight up at Steeple, there are several left-leaning grassy ramps that lead up to the ridge, we took the left-most ramp and traversed up this until you are able to cut back right towards Steeple Peak. From there, the "obvious" 5.7 crack is just that, however there is a 3rd/4th class ridge walk to get there. Walk along the ridge to the base of some jumbled low-5th class terrain (if you see the memorial plaque for fallen climber Ryan Sayers to the left, then you're on the right track). We scrambled up to the base of the crack (two cracks really, fingers on the right, and a wider crack on the left (which you climb)) and belayed on a nice ledge, which only made the 1st pitch about 130' to the notch. From there, go WAY right up a gully to find two right-leaning cracks which trend around the West side of the ridge to the 3rd class walk. From there, the rest should be obvious! In the chimney, just go right (then up) when going straight up looks hard and you'll get spit out on the ledge below the final corner. Enjoy! We thought this route felt more adventurous than any of the other routes we did in the area.

A bit more descent beta because we had some issues when we did it July 21, 2016:
For the last rap that Ryan mentions, DO NOT go off the west face. Continue down the ridge. A double rope rap off the face leaves you with a 15 foot downclimb to a ledge and an incredibly difficult rope pull. Stay on the ridge and then take one more rap down into a little gully of loose rocks.
From there, the cairns led us to two more improvised rap stations (could be done in one rap with double 60s) to get over the highest cliff band. We also found a way to get down without rapping that involved a somewhat sketchy traverse over slabs. This way would be impossible if any weather moved in.

Watermelon ice & 5 more refreshing summer desserts
"Eat dessert first" is a motto I can really relate to—and when it comes to summer desserts, it's also good advice. That's because some of the best summer desserts are frozen desserts, and nothing stays frozen very long on a hot summer day. As the sun continues to blaze hot this season, I know that fresh, frosty treats are just what I want to make and eat right now.
Here are 6 very cool recipes to enjoy right away.
Watermelon-Yogurt Ice
Watermelon is one of summer's most refreshing and iconic fruits. Inspired by creamy watermelon sherbet, our light and refreshing dessert truly captures the essence of summer.
Frozen Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Retro, creamy and delicious, this cake is the frozen version of the beloved classic. This recipe takes a bit of time, but the results are worthwhile.
Frozen Raspberry Pie
This creamy, luscious pie is made by combining a fluffy cooked meringue with a raspberry puree, then pouring the mixture into a chocolate-cookie crust.
Chocolate Malt Ice Cream
Malted-milk powder and powdered nonfat dry milk add most of the body to this unbelievably creamy but low-fat ice cream. Stir in some mini chocolate chips or crushed chocolate wafer cookies for a chocolate-lover's delight.
Melon & Apple Granita
This granita uses sweet ripe melon for flavor, apple juice instead of sugar and a touch of lime juice to perk up the flavors. Berries look beautiful on top; or if you can find fresh figs, add them. Orange-fleshed melon gives this dessert its vibrant look.
Grilled Peach Sundaes
There is something truly alluring about the combination of hot and cold—especially in a dessert. Add a scoop of cold ice cream atop any other hot, grilled stone fruit for an equally exciting combination.

LOVE it! Thanks for letting me know about the new ad Holly & for thinking of me!
What great collage ads for Burberry! I didn't realize that this was Rachel Weisz.
The ads are STUNNING. I love that collage effect.
Though the Burberry brand in the UK has got a few problems at the moment as it is now seen as an emblem of 'chav' culture (I think your equivalent would be redneck or trailer trash – ie. Britney Spears would be wearing it if she lived here). Of course they never wear the real thing, but cheap rip-offs of Burberry check available from all the street markets.
Also I wouldn't get too nostalgic for London in the Spring if I were you – as I speak it is pouring down with rain and the whole world is grey ;)
I'm not a fan of Burberry but a huge fan of Rachel W. Glad to see she's being noticed–The Constant Gardner was an amazing film and am glad she's garnering the attention she deserves!
Interesting what you said about Burberry being a bit on the trashy side to Brits. I never knew that! I personally don't wear Burberry, I am an Escada, Calvin, or
Clinque Happy girl myself… but the new Burberry scent was lovely… To me, I was more inspired by the collage than anything else because I really love London. My good friend moved to London about 6 years ago and he is applying to be a citizen now, he never wants to return to Boston. He is in Spitalfields (so jealous….love it there, lots of true cockneys and street markets.)
Rachel is amazing – you are all right! She has this endearing quality, and I thought her performance in About a Boy was excellent, especially how she interacted with Will at the table as he told her Marcus wasn't really his son.
I miss London whether it's raining or not, I don't care – it's the vibe, the synenergy I miss. Although, I'm sure if I actually lived in Notting Hill, like you Paola, I'd eventually tire of the weather after the new wore off. Ohhh how I'd love the opportunity to live there and have to deal with the new wearing off though! :)
I got to see Rachel Weisz in person at the Oscars Red Carpet arrivals and she was very poised and carried herself well despite all the media frenzy. She looked stunning her dress…tv coverage doesn't do it justice!
I love these ads and Rachel is wonderful. She is on the cover of the April UK Vogue. Can't wait to get it.

UCSD's big bang-bang theory
San Diego police testing gunshot detection on campus
Matt Potter 5 p.m., June 28
John Lynch, chief executive of U-T San Diego, says that today (Nov. 6) he is paying a penalty amount to clear up a default on property taxes. San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector records show that the Lynch Family Trust has defaulted on $25,332.90 of property taxes. Says Lynch, "My tax accountant informed me that my first real estate tax payment was received late in 2011. (I don't know why.) They cashed the check and placed in a suspense account. The second installment was paid on time but also placed in a suspense account. The problem is that due to computer problems, they never informed us. A few weeks ago my tax account received a bill for $4,400 or so for penalties. We protested. In light of all, I paid the penalty amount today and will be released from the suspense account." Lynch says he was not living in the house for a year; he was renting it out and living downtown. "The accounting was not handled well by both my advisers and the Treasurer."
Mr. Lynch, how about a little personal responsibility instead of blaming your " advisers and the Treasurer ". Just saying, man up and pay your taxes like the rest of us. Respectfully.
jibaro: Lynch is entitled to his explanation of this, but readers are free to react to that explanation in any way they want. Best, Don Bauder

Add-ons behaving badly: the challenges of policing the Firefox ecosystem
Firefox is frustrated with misbehaving add-ons
Firefox's powerful add-on system is arguably one of the browser's best features, but it is also occasionally a source of problems for Mozilla. Policing the add-on ecosystem to ensure that third-party code doesn't degrade the quality of the Firefox user experience is a major challenge.

separate switch for blower in HVAC system
How do I rewire my forced air HVAC to install a switch, separate from the one on the thermostat, to activate the blower? I want this separate switch on the second floor so I don't need to go downstairs to the lower lever, where the thermostat is, if I want to turn on the blower.
I thought it was just a matter of adding my switch hooked to the G (which I though controls the blower) and R (24 v hot) terminals, in parallel with the thermostat. It worked fine if the thermostat (Honeywell TH4110D1007-0645) is not pushed into its base plate but once I install the Thermostat back, when I flip my switch on, the AC starts along with the blower, even though I am not connecting the Y wire (which I thought controls the AC) at all with my separate switch. It seems as if the thermostat is causing the connection whether it is in OFF, in HEAT or in COOL, regardless of the temperature settings.
you will need to add an isolation relay.
Thanks. The devil is in the details... Will I need to isolate all four connections from the thermostat or I just the Y (and perhaps even the Y and W wires) with a DPDT 24v signal relay?
Why not just swap out the thermostat with one you can control via remote. Either through wifi, or a remote. There are various ones out there, that would be better, than attempting to rewire, and then screw up the control board.

Your New Ballot Stories: Frustration and Confusion at the Polls
We've been asking you to send in your primary day reports, particularly your experience with the new ballot design. You tell us your stories when you text BALLOT to 30644 and we call you back.
Your reactions so far have been mixed: Some people found the new paper ballots simpler - Jim Petzke said it was as "easy as eating a piece of pie." We had lots of reports of nearly empty polling stations and people who were "in and out in five minutes."
But many of you reported problems. Organisational issues at the polling stations included missing ballots, broken optical scanners and long lines. Wayne Alan Blood wrote to our Facebook page to say that he had been "unceremoniously turned away" because the ballots never arrived.
There were lots of complaints about the paper ballots themselves. Voters called the print "tiny", and the design confusing and difficult to understand.
But the most outrage was voiced over what many of our listeners felt was a lack of ballot secrecy: Meryl Salvinger said poll workers told her to scan her ballot face up "which seems kind of crazy, with a poll worker standing standing right there, looking at it. I didn't really care, but that could be a problem for some people." Another caller, Greg Hofer, was livid:
"My voting booth was two pieces of manila file folders taped together at the end of the poll workers table. Anyone could have walked behind me and seen how I voted. In the forty years that I have voted, and I have never missed an election, this is the first time I felt exposed ... and I was absolutely appalled."
And it's not just the IAFC crowd that is finding trouble, Mayor Bloomberg has called the voting troubles a "royal screw-up."
Below is a running list of the reports we've received, updated throughout the day...
WNYC has produced a montage of all the problems people had with the new ballot today:
And below are more independent reports--keep 'em coming!
Anna Jackson reported that the electronic voice system for visually impaired voters failed to work for her friend, who is blind.
"He wanted to use the electronic voice reader however the polling site did not have the key to use the reader--and we got to the site at around 8 o'clock in the evening so they never received the key. They kept trying to tell him that he could just fill in the card and he's blind so he wasn't able to do that, and then they suggested that someone else fill it in for him, which completely defeated the purpose of making it accessible to everyone."
Duane Jackson in Astoria said voting was a pretty easy...but not perfect process.
"It has potential but I think there are still some bugs that need to be worked out."
Alicia Davis in Croton-on-Hudson in New York said her voting experience was completely uneventful.
"It went in smoothly, it registered that the vote was recorded and I was certainly comforted that they've got a paper ballot back-up in case they need to recount the votes."
Hayden Grant wasn't able to try out the new machines at all, because even though he's a registered Democrat, his name wasn't in the roll book.
"I feel a sense of disenfranchisement. I would have loved to have experienced the new paper ballot which I used but don't have an experience with the machine."
Janet Margins was left a little uneasy by her encounter with the new machines.
"What I didn't care for was I couldn't verify who I voted for at the scanning machines. I kind of knew, but I just wanted to make sure it interpreted my voting correctly."
David Manning was astounded by the bad ballot design.
"Anyone who's ever used tables in Microsoft Word could make a better design table than that."
Kristin Keefe said without the levers in the booths, the magic was missing for her kids.
"There was no giant lever for them to flip at the end of voting, and I always sort of count on that to inspire them to want to vote and to make it tangible."
Manachem Solomon was wistful for the old machines.
"The paper ballot is more difficult to use than the absentee paper ballots--which I actually might go for next time."
Carolina in Westchester County said she didn't have any problems with the ballot...but she had a few with the personnel working at the station.
"Some of them were senior citizens and they actually needed more help in reading names and information to give to the voters and that took extra time."
Paula Washington in Pamona, New York was the first voter in her polling place this morning, but the scanners didn't work.
"I simply had to leave without knowing if I had been sucessful in casting my ballot."
An Unknown Caller who voted at Baruch College said she found it "the simplest thing I've ever done."
"I'm sure there were glitches elsewhere but there didn't seem to be any there, and the person operating the copier was very voluble and knowlegeable."
Michael Moore (we don't think this is the filmmaker) said his experience was fairly simple.
"I had an easy time today with the paper ballot, there are only two races in my district."
Brianna Fedelli said the scanner was OK but the font was too small and the design was difficult to navigate.
"I'm fairly young, I'm 28, I'm educated, I'm a lawyer, and it was very very confusing to me."
Reyanne Hoffman said time will tell if the new system is an improvement on the old.
"I think the whole thing took me three times longer, maybe four times longer than before."
David Casaves said the feng shui of his polling place made it difficult to vote secretly.
"The privacy booths were pointed the wrong way. People could look in and the magnifiers didn't work as well. Bring your own glasses."
Holly said the poll worker who was "helping" her scan her ballot in Chinatown scanned it with her eyes first.
"When I filled out my ballot and brought it into scan the woman took it from my hand and obviously read it and inserted it for me."
Lucy Garnet, who voted on Henry street in Manhattan, reported that the person who handed out the ballots made some fumbles, but otherwise things went smoothly. However, she was a little lonely while exercising her rights within the democratic process.
"Of course, I was the only person voting at the time, it was about 2:30 in the afternoon."
Wayne Alan Blood commented on our Facebook page:
I am absolutely LIVID! The New York Primary is a fraudulent joke, but I'm NOT laughing. I was unceremoniously turned away from the polls this morning because the ballots for my district never arrived. They have no idea *when* or *if* they will even show up. And regrettably, I will not have another opportunity to vote t his evening. I'm appalled that there is no contingency plan for such a massive screw-up.
Jim Petzke says "voting was as easy as eating a piece of pie."
Jessica Weigmann says she found the voting system easy and smooth, but that the paper ballots showed room for improvement.
"The only thing I would add to clarify the different races would be to - in the box where it says what the race is, maybe to shade that, to have a color scheme or even just grey and white so you have a sense of how many races there were."
Kristen Keith voted at the Columbia voting station. She said everything went smoothly, but even with good eyesight, it was hard to read.
"Otherwise everyone was pretty gracious and things went smoothly."
Larry Greenstein says he was Number 64 at his polling station around 3 pm this afternoon.
"It was really quiet, which I am not sure is a good thing. But I had no problems with the ballot - the machine took it right away."
Michael Resnick in Suffern, NY says he was confused by the ballot.
"I entered the bullet marking in the write-in rather than the printed. But I was able to write the person's name in and I didn't have an overvote, so the scanner accepted it."
Lou Tally agrees that privacy is a huge issue with the new scanner.
"The gentleman who took my voting green card opened my folder, took out my ballot and proceeded to read it. I asked him several times what he was doing, but he didn't speak English."
Greg Hofer says that he was appalled at the lack of secrecy and privacy in his vote.
"My voting booth was two pieces of manila file folders taped together at the end of the poll workers table. Anyone could have walked behind me and seen how I voted. In the forty years that I have voted, and I have never missed an election, this is the first time I felt exposed ... and I was absolutely appalled."
Laura in Inwood says that at her polling station, poll workers were very concerned about privacy.
"They were careful to give us folders to keep ballots in, we were directed to the standing areas, and very concerned with making sure it was hidden and facedown when the ballot went into the machine."
Lauren Lemont said she spent more time with the poll workers, trying to figure out which form to fill out - but called the voting process fairly easy.
"It took me about five minutes to vote and I am happy that there IS a paper ballot."
Mary called casting her vote with the new paper ballot "uneventful."
"But I kind of missed the lever to pull -- that sort of sense of really voting."
Dave Friedman says that casting his ballot - including using the voting scanner - at P.S.217 in Brooklyn was very easy.
"The only question I had about the ballot was where it said to "circle the oval above or next to the name of your candidate". That could lead to confusion. Do you circle the oval ABOVE your candidate's name, which is voting for another candidate, or the one to the SIDE, which would indeed be voting for the candidate of your choice. The biggest problem I had in voting today was drowning out the sounds of the kids at lunch."
Meryl Salvinger says had to do a paper ballot in Brooklyn Heights after her ballot jammed in the scanning machine.
"I put in the scanning machine, and I was told I had to put it in face up - which seems kind of crazy, with a poll worker standing standing right there, looking at it. I didn't really care, but that could be a problem for some people. And then it jammed in the machine and they had no idea what to do about it."
Jamie Schwarz in Brooklyn Heights said that the voting was easy there was hardly any line.
"The one complaint is that the text size is way too small. I'm only 32, it was fine for me, but any one with sight problems would have a huge problem. There were magnifying glasses there, but I have a feeling most people are going to miss it."
Stephanie was the first voter at her polling place in the Old Mill Basin section of Brooklyn, and reports that poll workers had trouble figuring out the process -- but that once she had a ballot, her voting went quickly:
"The voting personnel did not seem to kind of get it on how to give people the voting cards... I think that the training that the voting personnel get probably needs to be beefed up, because they're not used to scanners and they didn't know where to tell me to put the ballot or whether it was upside-down."
Voter Alan Fintz reports from Brooklyn that some of the personnel at the polling place were uncertain about the process, but that the ballot print was much easier to read than he expected:
"I realized after I cast the ballot that the voting machine that is used for most people where you simply put our paper in to be scanned doesn't display on the screen the readout of the results that you put on the ballot."
Luke in Park Slope said his experience "didn't instill a lot of trust that the vote was counted."
"I thought I was going to be voting with a computer, but instead I'm handed a piece of paper that I fill out like a form as a kid when I was taking standardized tests. And you walk to a private booth where the pen doesn't totally work and then you have to feed it through a scanner that doesn't give a clear confirmation of who you voted for. It just says your vote was counted."
Voter Peter called in after voting on the West Side, on 53rd Street. He says he found it amazingly easy and that it is a step forward for voting in New York.
"I don't understand the complaints people have. Maybe that's older people, people who always vote with mechanical machines. But this was very very easy and I had a good experience this morning."
Nicole in Inwood says she started getting frustrated, waiting for 30 minutes in line while the two voting machines were being fixed. Some people were starting to walk out.
"On the other side there was the green card. One of the helpers was asking 'Where's your green card, where's your green card?' There was a gentleman in back who was looking at her like she had five heads. Then she says, 'No, not THAT Green Card, your VOTING green card.' So there is a lot of confusion here."
Doug Joachim voted this morning in Midtown West by paper ballot. He said only 15 people had voted at his poll by the time he put in his ballot at 10 AM.
I am a little disenchanted that we still don't get receipts when we vote. There is a little message on the computer after you vote saying 'Thank you for voting!', but there's no receipt... Also, the other issue I had with voting today - information about the judicial nominees was nowhere to be found. I was forced to write in my nominee, which was my four-year-old son, 12 times.
Fred Bogin voted at the West Side High School. He complains that the type is way too small and he had to wait in line for the scanner because there was only one.
"I had trouble seeing it and I have decent eye-sight. Anyone with any worse eye-sight will have a lot of trouble. The type is way too small. ... It will be a real mess come the final election in November if they don't have more scanners and if they don't have larger type on the ballots."
We've been asking you to send in your primary day reports, particularly your experience with the new ballot design. It's not too late - if you want to submit your story, text BALLOT to 30644. We'll call you back with all the instructions you need. Below is a running list of the reports we've received, updated throughout the day...

new owner---old jet water pump
Bought a property with a non functioning well,3-5 years.
The jet pump has two different manufacturers' names on it.
The motor itself is a Flint and Walling.
I have no idea what the specs mean and they are kinda tough to read:
3/4 hp
60 ????
Rise 40 C
Phase 1
Date code 751
Rpm 3450
volt 115/230
amp 10/15
se amp 14/7
model 90107
Attached to the motor at the end where the water would come in from the well is a:
Jacuzzi part with
model # S7DH 1 1/2 B-S TP
I cleaned the electrical connections and contacts with some sandpaper and then plugged it in.HUUUUMMMMM is all I got and all I expected since the chances are it needs to be primed at the least and more than likely needs to be lubricated in some spots.
What I need is a manual to figure out how to prime the beast or overhaul it to get it running.
Is there anyone who can get me started with the info I have provided?
Out of necessity(strapped for cash)
passion and responsibility(my daughter and I have 4 horses)
being frugal(just another word for cheap,but I do recycle)...
I would like to get this thing running ASAP.
FYI I already have the trench dug over 5 feet deep,(we get 4-6 feet of snow per year),running 120 psi 3/4 " line,brass fittings with PEX connectors(it all fits),yard hydrant with 5' down/2' up,but need to get the pump going before I bury anything.
Thx to anyone who takes the time to respond.

If all it does is hummm it may be locked up from sitting. When you cleaned the contacts did you try and rotate the shaft? Most of the shafts have a flat spot on the shaft you can put a cresent wrench on and turn it. If that frees it up lubricate the shaft and bearing with oil. If you get it running there is a plug in the top of the pump. Remove it and fill with water to prime it. You may have to do this 1 or 2 times. Good luck.
I may go home hungry, but not tired and hungry.

Yes I did rotate the shaft,which took some effort,and it felt and sounded gritty.( Rust ? )
I should have lubricated it right away and let it sit before being able to return.My bad !
I wanted to take off the housing but after removing 4, 1 " bolts,the housing seemed ' spring loaded ' so I left it alone,not knowing what I was getting into.
As far as the priming .....there is no plug on top.
All I have been able to find is a plastic bolt with a slotted/hex head at the end of the motor,in the center.Not sure what it is for.Access for lubrication?Can't see into it as it is only about 5 inches from the wall.
At the other end of the unit is a valve.The same kind you find on the bottom of an air compressor to let out the water that builds up in the tank.That would be to let out air bubbles,I assume.
Getting back to priming....I cannot see any way of doing this unless I get a 2" or larger pipe wrench and take it apart to gain access to sending some H20 down the 2" pipe leading up/down to the well.
I have not been able to find a diagram or schematic for the motor that gives me a blown version of its parts....any ideas where I can get one,short of e-mailing F&W ?
Thank you for your help.
There are two allan-type headless screws that hold the shaft on.If I were to release them,would the motor then come free?
As I said before,the motor is only 5" from the wall and it is longer than that reach,so at best I could at least see 5" more than now or could I angle it off?

The wet end may be full of rust stopping it from turning. I can't tell you how to take it apart. You may find a manual on Flint and Walling's web site.
You should be using 160 or 200 psi rated 1" or 1.25" PE pipe with insert/barbed fittings and double opossed SS hose clamps, instead of 3/4" anything.
PEX is not a good choice because the ID is smaller than 3/4" PE. PEX, copper, galvanized, CPVC are all CTS (copper tubing size), PE is IPS (iron pipe size). CTS maintains the OD, 3/4" is 7/8" OD, while IPS maintains the ID; 3/4" is 3/4" so you get more water with IPS. The 3/4" PEX is too small for suction line.
To prime it, remove the 2" plug in the outlet water line and pour water in until it fills the line and wet end of the pump and the line to and down the well. If it doesn't fill, you may have a leaking foot valve or line. If it won't pump, the jet in the wet end may be blocked.
Of course all that should be after you get the thing running, just don't run it dry more than to say it turns over or you can burn it up quick. I'd have water in first.

If the shaft turns hard, harder than you could turn a screw with a screwdriver, then there's a problem somewhere. On a pump like this, you should be able to reach in and grab the shaft coupling (the part with the allen setscrews) and turn it by hand.
There are 3 possible trouble spots here. These assumes the motor is electrically OK, and it can't turn the shaft.
1) The motor has a bearing on each end. A lot of pump motors have a ball bearing on the shaft end, and a sleeve bearing on the non-drive end. Ball bearings are permanently lubricated, and must be replaced if they go bad. Sleeve bearings are oil lubricated, and have some sort of a port, hole, oil cup, or some way to get oil to them. As an emergency measure, remove the cap at the center of the non-drive end, and squirt some WD40 onto the shaft.
2) There's a seal of some sort where the shaft comes out of the pump casing. These tend to seize up when the pump is either run dry, or hasn't been run in a long time. You need to take the pump casing apart and remove the impeller from the shaft to get at it.
3) The suction end of the impeller is closely machined to the suction end of the casing. Usually, the impeller is either brass or plastic, and the casing is cast-iron. The cast-iron will rust if no water flows through it for a long time, and the rust will squeeze down on the impeller.
If you remove the allen setscrews form the shaft coupling, you might be able to tell whether the pump or the motor is turning hard. If the motor turns easy with the setscrews removed, don't turn it on, to do so will 'round out' the shaft coupling, and ruin it.
The date code means the motor was made in January of 1975, but there are plenty of pumps this age still running though.
P.S. Is this pump horizontal, or vertical?

Thanks for the info.
I got the thing running with a little lubrication and manual turning to get out the cobwebs.When I turned it clockwise there was a metal on metal sound during the rotation at 9 o'clock let's say and if I turned it counter clockwise there wasn't.
Primed it with about a quart of water,over and over and over and over again to the point where the switch box starting smoking.Not sure if I fried it or just some silt that got overheated,since this happened three times.I was hoping that it would just start running.
I figured at some time I would have to get out the pipe wrench and put some water into the 2' outlet,so I will try that on Monday after work.At least the motor is running and that is a good start so far.
If I am just running water for a 5th wheel and horse trough....why go 1" vs 3/4 ? I thought 120psi ( or 160 , I forget ) on 3/4 was suffiicient over a 100 ' spread.Is there a significant difference? I imagine the 1" will be a bit more costly.

Thanks for the detailed info.
It is a horizontal mount.As mentioned previously I got the unit running but priming is an issue.I will attempt to run some water into the 2" and at that time find out if the foot valve is OK or not.
This is taking some time but has been an education and I will be better equipped for the future,....maybe :-)

On Monday when I took off the motor I exposed the 2" pipe and found out it was 26 feet to the bottom ? of the well or at least that is where it stops now. After filling it up with about 20 gallons of water,it kept draining,it finally filled to the point where I thought I could reattach the motor and give it a whirl since there would be water to draw up and out.
That's when I found out the motor was not running.
It is actually a centrifugal pump.The next day I took the motor to an old neighbour of mine who told me what kind it was and found out that the impellor was bent.That's why it kept jamming at the same spot all the time.After a lot of fiddling we got it running freely.
So now the motor is running and I want to see if I can get some water up.
The next question is....does the well sound like it is dry if it keeps draining so fast? I am told it is a sand point.
There is a foot valve attached just off the elbow on the back side of the impellor that attaches to the 2" pipe.
Could there be another foot valve down lower?
If I prime the whole system and then draw sand up in that water,can it do any damage to the impellor or anything else?
FYI The well,nor the pump, has not run for years and went through a flood 5 years ago.Could that have changed anything below the surface that far down?
I am getting closer to getting it running,so if anyone has any words of wisdom to help me get there,I am all ears.

You need to know how deep the surface of the water is in the well; that is the static water level. A single line shallow well pump can't suck water more than 25' @ sea level. A centrifugal pump is not near as good as a jet pump. They can't build the same pressure or draw water as well.
The check valve at the pump is a problem, you can't prime the pump and that line back past the check valve; it should be removed. There has to be a foot valve on the end of the drop pipe in the well, and you have to prime the line and the pump.
A check valve at the pump hides a leak in the drop pipe or the foot valve.

Here's the latest.I have a feeling if there is a valve at the bottom of the line,that it is not functioning at all or it is random because when I try to prime the line,2" about 26' deep,it takes about 10-12 gallons before it fills to within 5' or so.Then when I do get it primed to the top and get some flow ( my friend gave me a hand pump that attaches to the 2' pipe and that is how I get the water up) I have hand pumped for over 5 minutes at a constant volume.The water is light grey/brown to almost clear.
BUT when I stopped for only 10 seconds I could not get my prime back without putting more water down the pipe.Here is the inconsistency.Once the line is filled to the top I have put my ear to the pipe to listen to it ' drain ' and count the seconds until the
' gurgling ' stops.Sometimes it takes 6-7 seconds or 23-24 seconds.Pretty much either / or , nothing in between.
Assuming the valve is hooped what are my options and how do I do it,step by step?
Can/should I add lengths? Starting with a length with a valve.
Just start over somewhere else? ( This would negate the 70 foot trench already dug for the line to go to the horses. )
FYI I have another sand point well on the property that is 36' deep and is working extremely well with cold,cold,clear water that is naturally filtered and has no issues at all.Based on their locations on the property and elevation difference,the lower one is the one not working and is about 10 feet lower than the upper one,over about 200 feet distance.My property is in/on an old creekbed on the valley floor at about 800 feet elevation about 2 miles from the foot of an 8000' mountain,if any of this matters.

Well until now I didn't know this was a sand point well. That makes a huge difference. I am not good on that type well. Usually there is a smaller line inside the outside line but not always. I think that depends on the type of pump. Try www.pumpsandtanks.com there's lots of help with your type well there.
You can't fill a well with water without it draining out, back into the strata.

When the signing of Matt Flynn became official on Tuesday, the Wallace season's came to an end in Green Bay.
It's been 21 years, 1 month, and 2 weeks since a Packers' backup quarterback has made a meaningful start. Ted Thompson has rolled the dice for years that that streak would continue indefinitely. Today, the Pack will start a washed-up veteran with no training camp experience and Thompson has no one to blame but himself.
Examining Seneca Wallace's time as a starter from his time in Seattle and Cleveland and now in Green Bay as he prepared to take over for Aaron Rodgers.
Wallace will be the backup quarterback to Aaron Rodgers as the Packers get ready for their Week 1 showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.
Signing Seneca Wallace this late in the game highlights just how massively the Green Bay Packers failed at backup quarterback this summer.
For better or worse, the Packers appear to be going with the veteran Wallace as their backup to starter Aaron Rodgers.
The Green Bay Packers worked out three quarterbacks Monday.
The Packer defense could be an elite unit this year. The one area that could potentially hold it back is the play of its starting safeties. This...
Some thoughts after a second viewing of the Seattle preseason game:

San Diego » Playing in his first bowl game less than 40 miles from his hometown, Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn looked every bit like a freshman feeling the pressure of leading the No. 23 Utah Utes in the Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday.
He was slow to get the plays going, looked uncertain in his decision making and threw a bad pass that was returned by Cal to give the Pac-10 team a two-touchdown lead just moments into the game.
But that mistake might have been the best thing that happened to Wynn as he recovered from a nightmarish start to lead the Utes (10-3) to a 37-27 victory over the Bears (8-5) in front of 32,665 spectators at Qualcomm Stadium.
The win gives the Utes nine straight bowl wins, which continues the U.S.'s longest active streak and ties them with USC (1923-45) for the second-most consecutive bowl wins in history. FSU holds the record with 11 consecutive wins, 1985-1996.
"It really is a tribute to our players and the work ethic that goes back a lot of years," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "It has taken a lot of years to put that together and each of these groups that come here approach the bowl situation the same way. They understand it's a reward but they understand it's another chance to win a football game and I believe they just outwork their opponents in bowl situations."
Ending the Poinsettia Bowl with such a win over the Bears, who entered as a 3-point favorite, put an exclamation mark on what was considered a rebuilding year for the Utes.
They didn't reach their goal of defending the MWC title, but they will finish the season ranked and with their fifth 10-win season ever.
"This means everything to us, for our seniors and the program," linebacker Kepa Gaison said. "We're used to not getting much credit but we show up and play and that is what we did today."
Cal, perhaps because of its Pac-10 pedigree and veteran quarterback in Kevin Riley, was picked to win by most prognosticators.
However, it was the Utes who, as the third-place team from the MWC, showed once more why they shouldn't be underestimated in big games. They righted themselves after a bad start and mastered the Bears, who finished the regular season tied for fifth in the Pac-10 with USC.
"It was important to us as a football team to send these guys out the right way," Whittingham said. "It was an auspicious beginning, getting down 14-0, but we found a way to hang in there and keep fighting and get our heads up."
The turnaround can be credited in large part to Wynn's play. Wynn was named the Offensive MVP, finishing 26-of-36 for 338 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
The interception, which was returned by Cal's Eddie Young 31 yards to give the Bears a 14-0 lead, seemed to light a fire under Wynn.
He connected on his next six passes and finished the half 15-of-21 for 225 yards for three touchdowns to help the Utes lead 24-14 at the half.
"I took it upon myself not to force the ball anymore," he said. "I had to settle down and play within myself. We got the momentum and we rolled with it."
Once Utah got the lead, the Utes' defense protected it.
Cal quarterback Kevin Riley was 20-of-36 for 214 yards and a touchdown, but was picked off twice in the fourth quarter. Running back Shane Vereen finished with 20 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns. However, he had just 45 yards in the final three quarters combined.
"We got down 14-0, but we've faced adversity before ..." Defensive MVP Stevenson Sylvester said. This win shows how good the program is."
In short » The Utes win their ninth consecutive bowl game with the win over Cal. Utah is now tied with USC for the second-most bowl games won in a row.
Key stat » The Utes go 5-of-5 in the red zone, finishing with two touchdowns and three field goals.
Key moment » Stevenson Sylvester, the Defensive MVP, returns an interception 27 yards to give the Utes a 37-21 lead with 5:27 remaining.

Showing great physical condition, local hero Dolzanelli came forward in his usual aggressive style and pressed his co-challenger starting from the opening minutes but Erittu produced a magnificent display of heart and determination, used his superior ring craft with a dangerous jab work and an accurate body work to gain the control of the clash, Dolzanelli proved every bit as tough but Erittu was simply too strong and consistent and his youth and superior boxing skills were evident over the ten rounds, there were no knockdowns and at the final bell both fighters were given a standing ovation for a very strong and entertaining fight. The Three judges scored the bout 98-93, 98-92 and 97-93 for the new Italian champ.

Chairwoman Michele Bachmann appeared on the Jay Leno show in order to once again demonstrate her capacity for ignorance. When questioned about comments regarding how the HPV vaccination leads to mental retardation, the woman who seeks the job of president of the United States, responded: "I wasn't speaking as a doctor. I wasn't speaking as a scientist. I was just relating what a woman said." Duh! Just imagine Chairwoman Michele as president:
1. "All niggers are just naturally not as smart as whites. I heard it on the radio this morning. I am not saying it is true, but I did hear it."
2. "I love the Jewish people, but all they care about is money. This man wearing an iron cross told me."
3. "If you want your lawn well kept, find an Hispanic person. I just love the guy who tends my lawn."
4. "A woman's place is in the kitchen and caring for kids. I read it in a book written by some guy named Adolf Hitler."
5. "Gays are going to Hell. In my last conversation with God he made that very clear."

A study shows many are admitted to
adult psychiatric wards and general children's wards when they should be in specialist units.
Incorrect admissions happen in a third of cases, Royal College of Psychiatrists' researchers said.
Campaigners said there was a national shortage of beds for young people with mental health problems.
Specialist wards for adolescents with mental health problems are needed because these young people are not adequately treated on general psychiatric wards, the college's research unit said.
The study of nine health authority regions in England and Wales, published by the British Medical Journal, found 54 patients aged under 18 were on the wrong type of ward.
The researchers estimated that a third of all young people admitted for mental illness are not admitted to a specialist unit.
They said: "If these admissions to general psychiatric and paediatric wards are to continue, then skills need to be developed in units receiving these vulnerable young people.
"If the admissions are to be avoided, further investment in specialist inpatient care, the formulation of alternatives to admission, or both will be needed."
Dinah Morley, acting director of mental health charity Young Minds, said: "The situation across the country is that there are not nearly sufficient beds for young patients.
"However, we need to ensure the numbers are not just expanded for the hell of it."
It was often better to treat people in their own homes where possible, she said.
And she added that simply creating a specialist ward within an adult unit would not solve the problem because the adolescents would still be treated alongside older patients.
"To see someone aged 40 with chronic schizophrenia and be told that is what you have got is absolutely terrifying," she said.

Ah, good, it's not just a domestic dispute... The triangle of the title refers to the Bermuda Triangle. An entertaining story of a woman found alive and unharmed five days after the airliner she was aboard crashes in the sea. Pretty good.
Vernon Delos Trino
Mercedes McCambridge appears again as an attractive early 30s spinster on her first trip abroad away from her mother when the plane goes down over the Bermuda Triangle. I gave this episode a 9 because it deals with an explanation of a popular unexplained topic. Mercedes McCambridge still sounds nothing like an attractive young woman, but I've learned to suspend disbelief.
Benny Coriolis
It is always difficult to portray a paradise. Almost inevitably, the utopia comes across as boring. The best parts of "The Divine Comedy" involve Hell and Purgatory; Heaven by contrast comes across as vaguely dull. In this episode, life in "The City" seems like death to me. I actually thought the woman was going to rebel against the sterile character of the city. Am I nuts, or did the tease at the start of show not actually appear in the broadcast? I assumed the officer would end up in love with the female protagonist but I have the impression that he died. It is interesting to think that the "fantasy trip" was the journey to the US. The show sort of reminded me of the tv show "Lost".
Oh yeah, Bermuda Triangle stories really interest me. And this one was well written and had me guessing up untuil the end. I also got the feeling that the Navy boatman died.
I've always had a different impression of the ending to this tale. It would seem to me that Ora would have seen to it-- that all the passengers on the ship survived. The inhabitants of "The City" seemed genuinely concerned with all their "charges" and their continued happiness. I always figured Lt. Nelson met his own true love in the utopia-- whomever she happened to be. Just my observation................
Lady Crystal Palafox
In one of the finest RMT's ever "The hand" Alexander Scourby does the very same tortured monologue in the "teaser" (when he sees, for the first time, the subject of the story) that he did in the actual show, but the producers use a totally different music bed. It was amazing to me what a difference that made in lessening the impact of what was being said. Wisely, they used a different one in the actual play that worked MUCH better. BTW, "The Laughing Maiden" also has such a teaser as you discussed.
John Mina
Just re-listened to "The Hand" and your point is well taken. The scene at the end of Act II is far more powerful with the different music bed. It is amazing how much background music can enhance a story. I feel today's T.V. dramas are less effective for this very reason. Watch old "T.Z."'s or "Treks" and hear the difference. Radio drama, of course, relies upon this even more heavily. Until next time....................
John Adrian
It's a solid episode. I enjoy the Sci-Fi episodes of RMT. This one definately has a "Twilight Zone" feel to it.
The whole "Crash" sequence was well executed. I especially enjoyed the use of the music from "2001" and also, later, in the park scene-- the use of music from "A Clockwork Orange". Himan Brown must have been a Stanley Kubrick fan. Though possibly, these two movements may have been first created for other venues than the aforementioned movies. But, they both work well.
The whole idea of "the Fantasy Trips" was an interesting plot device. After awhile, one has to ask-- which life was Judy's "real" one-- the one in Miami or the one in "The City"?
Cool episode. One's about the Bermuda Triangle really capture the imagination.
Until next time.......................
Good episode. When it started out, I thought, "Oh, great. A 70's occult-themed episode about the Bermuda Triangle. Will probably be shallow. Ho-hum." But it brought in several elements that gave it real depth, and I enjoyed it and felt the ending was satisfying. Lots of thought went into this, and it shows.
A pretty good listen. I would've liked to have had a little more closure on the lieutenant and anyone else (just a comment about them being there), but it was still enjoyable overall. Kind of reminds me (at the beginning) of The Saucer of Loneliness.
The lone survivor of a commerical airliner crash in the Bermuda Triangle at first claims she remembers nothing of what happened or how she managed to stay alive while all others disapeared and seemingly perished. Over time, however, she begins to reveal a story of being rescued by a strange city of people who offer her and the other passengers a whole new life, away from the cares and troubles of the world in which we live. This is an odd episode, but well-crafted and well-acted. Genre: Drama/Fantasy
I really enjoyed "The Triangle'.
The triangle is very pretty creepy.
It's a solid episode, but it's also a solid example of why I usually run screaming from episodes featuring Mercedes McCambridge. That trembling voice, the woman-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown style and sound she seemingly always employs - they drive me crazier than that creaking door! I also hate Bryna's shrew voice; her other vocal range is fine. I know it's appropriate for her to be a whining old bag in this story, but hearing both of them shouting at each other is really difficult to listen to.
A good listen about a airliner that crashed in the Bermuda Triangle. I gave this episode 4 Stars.

(9/19/2006) On Monday, September 25, 2006, millions of families in more than 500 US cities will celebrate Family Day � A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children, including the City of New Haven, Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. has announced.
Created in 2001 by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), Family Day emphasizes the importance of family and unity, and encourages us to take time out of our busy schedules to enjoy being with loved ones.
�The City of New Haven is joining in and we need your help,� Mayor DeStefano said. �Get the word out that it�s important you and your family take the time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Spread the word to your friends and neighbors that strong family involvement in the lives of our children can reduce their risk of substance abuse and other negative activities.�
Why is it a big deal for families to have dinner together? Research conducted by CASA at Columbia University has consistently found that the more often children eat dinner with their family members, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use illegal drugs. The research also shows that these children are more likely to have positive peer relationships, healthier eating habits and are more likely to do well in school.
To help promote Family Day, the Community Services Administration of the City of New Haven is coordinating promotion of the event, including with the Connecticut Food Bank, which is publicizing the day through its food programs, and City Seed�s Farmer�s Markets, which is distributing free family recipe packets at its Farmer�s Market locations. For more information about Family Day and the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, (CASA), visit the City of New Haven website at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com, click on �What�s New�, and look for more information including a link to the CASA website at www.casacolumbia.org. Thank you for joining me in this worthwhile community effort.
