MONTCLAIR -- Friday came and went as did the deadline for the former Deja Vu strip club to be painted plain beige. However, there was other activity on the property that did not involve paint crews.
San Bernardino County sent an inspector to the site this week who confirmed the lights were turned on but the place is not doing business.
David Wert, spokesman for the county, said inspectors will continue to monitor the property and take any immediate action if it opens for business.
The former adult venue was painted a bright pink last week, a move that has irked San Bernardino County and Montclair city officials.
San Bernardino County officials have plenty of reason to be upset, the property owner of the adult venue is in violation of a 10-year-old settlement agreement which required it close for business in November. The agreement also spells out the building must be painted a specific color of beige.
On Friday, the county said it is still making efforts to communicate with the property owner and get them to comply with the settlement.
If not, the county may considered taking the issue to court to enforce the terms of the settlement.
County leaders issued the Tollis, Inc. the club's owner a letter giving them until Friday to change the paint.
The attorney for Tollis, Inc., property owner had no information about Friday's deadline.
The bright pink building is clearly visible heading south on Central Avenue, from top of the Central Avenue bridge.
"It's an eye-catcher," says Wanda Johnson who works across the street at Lifetime Day Program.
Johnson said recalls noticing when the painting began last week but didn't think they would paint the entire building that color. Since then, the building's new coat has been the topic of many discussions.
"That's a bright pink, to me it's to draw attention to their business," she said. "It's a bit over the top."
Johnson knew the business has been closed for some time but said she had no idea the property owner was attempting to reopen it as a sports club.
Johnson said the new color creates an awkward situation to her and the parents of her clients. Lifetime's clients are developmentally disabled adults.
"It doesn't make sense unless to draw attention," she said.
In 2002, the county and the owner of the club had agreed that Deja Vu could remain in operation until November 2012. Prior to that agreement the club owners and the county has been in litigation for 15 years about their location.
The location at Mission Boulevard and Central is unincorporated land adjacent to the Montclair city limits.
Montclair city officials on Monday expressed their frustration over the decision to paint the building pink. City officials have opposed plans to convert the 7,048-square-foot business into a sports bar and for it to sell alcohol.
Council members were also unhappy to see the 34-foot-tall sign was still up. Steve Lustro, community development director for Montclair, explained that pylon was a source of debate between the property owner and the county.
San Bernardino County only allows 25-foot-signs and the property owner has failed to provide any documents proving it was built legally, Lustro told the council on Monday.
City officials say they considered this a detriment to the work that has been going on in the corridor. In the last 15 years the city has expended more than $11 million in street-scape improvements along Mission Boulevard, a portion of which is in the county territory.

Roos hold off Hawks for five straight
Page Tools
The Kangaroos survived a Hawthorn rally at the MCG today to win a fifth successive game to start the 2005 AFL season, beating the Hawks by 19 points.
The Kangaroos were 39 points up early in the third quarter but that was sliced back to six points approaching three-quarter time, before the Roos steadied in the final term to win 16.12 (108) to 13.11 (89).
The Roos are looking to match their seven straight wins to open the 1979 season, but face the daunting schedule of five interstate games in the next eight weeks.
The young Hawks could not repeat their thrashing of Brisbane here last week, but again gave supporters hope of better times ahead.
The opening quarter was the Saverio Rocca show, with the big Kangaroos full forward kicking 3.2 as the Roos led by the smallest possible margin at the first break.
Rocca benefitted from the late withdrawal of Hawthorn fullback Jonathan Hay due to a hamstring injury, but his late replacement Josh Thurgood - back after missing just a week with a fractured cheekbone - was lively as a makeshift full forward.
The Roos eked that advantage out to eight points approaching time-on of the second quarter before rattling on four goals in seven minutes before half-time to blow the margin out to 32 points at the main break.
The goals came from unforgivable defensive errors by the Hawks, giving away a 100 metre penalty and twice leaving David Hale - at 200 centimetres hardly the most inconspicuous player on the ground - unchecked inside 50m.
The gap was out to 39 points after just a minute of the third term and the contest looked as good as over.
But the Hawks, fielding six first-year players, rallied to kick seven of the next eight goals, getting within a goal late in the third term, with Mark Williams kicking three goals and Peter Everitt strong in the ruck.
The gap was 11 points at the last change and the Hawks spurned a gilt-edged chance to create some final quarter momentum when former skipper Shane Crawford missed an early set shot, and the Roos steadied to win.
The Kangaroos lost Drew Petrie to an ankle injury in the first quarter and Blake Grima to a shoulder injury in the second term, with neither returning, while Hawthorn's Rick Ladson suffered a knee injury.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has taken advantage of the royal couple's designated day off by playing with young Prince George on the lawns outside Government House.
The Duchess left the main entrance of Government House late Monday morning and walked towards the lake with her son in the stroller.
The pair eventually returned to the lawns and enjoyed close to 20 minutes of mother-and-son time.
Security seemed light, with personnel giving the Duchess time to explore the grounds on her own accord.
Once on the lawns, she took the young prince out of the stroller and gave him a ride on her shoulders. She played with her son by throwing him in the air.
Earlier, the Duke and Duchess enjoyed an autumn stroll through the grounds of Government House, swapping their formal wear for more casual attire.
Dressed in jeans, the Duke and Duchess were spotted walking hand-in-hand through the well manicured Yarralumla lawns on Monday morning.

There is no word on whether they ran into some of the native wildlife at Government House, although an encounter with the kangaroos on the lawns of Government House in Canberra seems par for the course for any visiting royal.
Government House has been the routine home for travelling royals in Canberra, with Denmark's Crown Prince Frederick and Princes Mary visiting the 123-year-old building in 2005.
Young George's great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II signed the Australia Act 1986 at Government House, which severed the final constitutional link between Australia and the United Kingdom.
In 2011 the Queen and Prince Philip toured the grounds of Government House in a solar-powered golf-buggy and gazed upon lounging kangaroos.
The royal couple are midway through their tour of Australia. They were greeted by about 200 Canberrans when they arrived in the national capital on Sunday night.
They travel to Uluru on Tuesday and Adelaide on Wednesday, before returning to Canberra.
When they return, they will plant a tree at the National Arboretum on Thursday April 24, and attend Anzac Day commemorations on Friday and plant a Lone Pine at the Australian War Memorial.

By Beth Puliti
After graduating from high school, Mary Landberg, MPH, RN, CHPN, thought she wanted to be a doctor.
But as she was finishing her premed major at the University of Hawaii, she took opportunities to volunteer in hospitals and learned quickly she wasn't prepared to handle the emotional suffering that accompanies loss.
"I changed my major to health education in my senior year. It wasn't clear to me then, but I needed to work through some of my own suffering before I could get anywhere near anybody else's suffering," she said.
Landberg went on to earn a master's degree in public health and worked as a health educator in a variety of settings from community, corporate to collegiate for about 20 years.
"They say we teach what we need to learn most," she remarked.
At the age of 43, Landberg was inspired to go back to school to earn her BSN. She believes it was the best move she ever made. Her plan was to work as a cardiac nurse/educator because cardiovascular disease prevention and control had been her teaching focus for the past 20 years.
Then, one rotation in oncology Landberg said she "just knew" she was destined to work in end-of-life care and chose to spend an entire term shadowing a hospice RN.
"I felt absolutely at home working with the dying," she revealed. "It took me 20 years to get there, but I was finally ready."
Landberg worked a year in cardiac care to gain acute care skills before she transferred to hospice care. She currently holds the position of RN case manager at Asante Hospice, Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, OR.

Nursing implications in ensuring the right of patient self-determination.
An Untraditional Service
As a hospice nurse, Landberg is part of a comprehensive team of trained professionals to implement a holistic plan of care for not only the dying patient, but for the family as well.
She and her team work closely with the primary care physician, medical social workers, chaplains, pharmacists, home health aides, bereavement counselors and volunteer coordinators.
"We are liaisons and advocates for patients and families in every possible way. Our goal is to minimize the physical, social, emotional and spiritual suffering of the patient and family and to allow the patient to live fully while they are alive and to die peacefully with dignity and grace," she noted.
Several years ago, Landberg had the urge to offer an untraditional service to her patients.
"I was sitting with a patient who was ready to pass. His grandson, his only living relative, called from across the country to check on him - as he did daily. I answered the phone and offered to hold the phone to his grandfather's ear so he could say his hellos and his last goodbye," she recalled. "After their (one-sided) conversation, we chatted for a bit more on the phone and he expressed his wish to hold his grandfather's hand one more time."
Landberg, whose background includes photography classes and self-portraiture for a book she wrote, called Fear Means Go, offered to snap a shot of her hand holding his grandfather's hand. She sent it to him instantly via text and the grandson was thrilled. Soon after, she began offering hand portraits as a service to families.
These days, Landberg offers hand portraits free of charge to her patients' families. (She'll shoot a traditional portrait if the family desires.) A far cry from her initial text message, today she gifts family members with high-resolution images on a CD and a print or two.
"I do accept donations, which don't quite cover my costs of printing, framing, CDs, mailing supplies and postage. It's a way I give back to my community. It feels good," she said.
A Loving Touch
In her work as a hospice nurse, Landberg was struck by the way people lovingly touch each other.
"Love is what survives any prognosis to the last breath; love is all that is left in the end," she said.
This is what she strives to photograph. Her mission is to capture the unwavering expression of love that endures between people while living with terminal illness. Hand portraiture preserves this important expression of love.
"Hands reveal honest emotion. We hold hands to express love, comfort, safety and connection. We held our parents hands as we crossed the street; we take a hand in marriage.
"Our hands give and receive, wave hello and goodbye. Our hands tell stories, are placed over our hearts in joy and in surprise. They give pats on the back and offer approval with a thumbs up. They express who we are. Hands are for holding," she explained.
Landberg believes the meaning of her hand photography to magnify after the loved one has passed away.
"When a patient's wife tearfully told me that her hand portrait with her husband on the last day of his life was her most cherished object, I knew I had to keep doing this," she said.
Not long ago, a woman told Landberg that the photographs have kept her connected to her mom, a constant visual presence of a mother who is physically gone. On a weekly basis people express their regret for not having thought of this simple meaningful gesture for their own family members who have passed on. That's why she encourages everyone to do this.
'Simple But Potent'
Recently, one of Landberg's photos won first place in the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization's creative arts contest. The NHPCO featured her work in an article in the August NewsBrief and after an article ran in her local paper, the American Nurses Association offered her story in their SmartBrief.
Since then, she has received many emails of support and gratitude for what she calls a "simple but potent" idea. "It only takes a few seconds to snap a photo and its value is priceless and lasts a lifetime," she said.

The nursing process is the basis for a CNLCPs assessments and planning.
Landberg hopes that someday these portraits travel as an exhibit. She'd like to raise money to provide hospice nurses with point-and-shoot cameras so they could provide the same service.
"I want to start a movement." she noted.
Landberg's upcoming book titled, Capturing the Spirit of Enduring Love, will feature about 200 hospice portraits and stories she has gathered from families over the past few years.
It will also include her adventures in hospice and some wisdom and insight she has gathered along with way.

Task #1501
Add ACE radio functionality to new radio type
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Warface v1.1.8a
Hi, I noticed the new VDV radio operator has a different radio pack to the standard Russian infantry guy.
He uses 'ACE_P159_RD99' instead of 'ACE_p159_RD90'.
Please can you add this to the loadout.sqs 'radio list' so that it has functionality?
Also I noticed that the town HQ buildings no longer have radios, but this may be intentional so just letting you know.
Updated by Doomguy about 8 years ago
- Status changed from New to Feedback
Fixed in rev. 633. All radio types are now picked up.
Indeed, I committed some changes that disabled radios in camps and depots. This requires that you keep a radio or radio vehicle close. I'm not sure yet this is going to be the default setting (before, by default camps and depots had a radio). What do you think?
Updated by Woodstock about 8 years ago
Thanks for the fix.
I think if things were staying as they are it would be better to have the radios at the depots to call in reinforcements.
But, because you are adding factories to towns it is probably better not to have them. Since you can just hide in the depot and recruit from the town factories all day long making it almost impossible for anyone to take the town.
Updated by Doomguy about 8 years ago
Until somebody destroys the factory...
Updated by Woodstock about 8 years ago
But you can just build another factory, no?
Updated by Doomguy about 8 years ago
Well, factories cost supply and probably a lot of it because you're building in a town. Also, construction will be disabled if you lost too many camps to the enemy.
Updated by Woodstock about 8 years ago
I had an idea about this that perhaps you will like:
When you recruit from the town factories it costs 'supply value' from the town as well as money. e.g: infantry cost 1 sv, Humvee costs 3 sv, MBT costs 10 sv etc.
This simulates a need to keep the supply lines 'to the front' open. It also adds a fun dynamic where an attacker can attempt to encircle a town to attack the supply trucks coming in from behind, mine the roads, blow bridges etc. All to starve the town of supplies.
The defender then has to choose whether to split his forces to continue to defend the town and also defend his vital supply lines.
I'm not sure how the AI would handle it but in theory I think it adds a very fun, and realistic element to town capture/defence.
Right now there is not much incentive to attack/ambush enemy supply trucks.

A former city employee has been arrested for a third time for charges relating to identity theft.
Katrina Porter was arrested Monday by Lowndes County Sheriff's Office investigators. The 32-year-old's arrest marks the third time since January that the former financial office support clerk with the city of Columbus has been taken into custody.
An investigator said Tuesday that Porter's most recent arrest is connected to an ongoing investigation tied to a previous case. The alleged victim does not live in Lowndes County. Porter is accused of using the alleged victim's personal information to obtain credit cards.
Porter was fired from the city in January after she and her husband were arrested after allegedly attempting to use fraudulent IDs at Wal-Mart. In February, Porter was accused of using false information to make purchases at Fred's, Wines Etc., and Belk, according to Latasha Key with CPD.
Porter was released on a $2,500 bond and has an August court date.
The investigation is ongoing.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Energy plans to begin managing a southern Ohio uranium enrichment project overseen by a company that filed for bankruptcy last month to restructure debt.
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told a U.S. House Appropriations subcommittee Wednesday in Washington that the department will take over the American Centrifuge Project in Piketon, The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1fyNkZB ) reported. Management would be done through its Oak Ridge (Tenn.) National Laboratory.
Ohio's senators have helped lead support for funding for the project, saying it is needed for national security and domestic energy supplies and can be a boon for an economically struggling region. The project also has critics in Congress who say it's costly and unnecessary. Money for the federally funded research effort runs out this month.
Moniz said the technology and intellectual property must be protected and that the government must consider how to meet national security obligations moving forward. The department is trying to determine how to reprogram $57 million to keep the operation running.
"We have to keep it going this year," Moniz said. "Frankly, it would be very, very desirable to make sure we keep our 120 machines spinning."
He indicated the project's current operator, USEC, still would be involved, possibly as a subcontractor.
"The scope is being determined," said Paul Jacobson, a spokesman for the Bethesda, Md.-based company.
Last month, USEC filed a 60-day warning with Ohio that it might lay off workers. The company has nearly 250 employees in Ohio.
USEC said at the time that the filing doesn't mean layoffs will occur, but that it had notified the state that they could potentially involve more than 50 jobs.

Washington In America's capital, it is known as the revolving door. The seamless transition of executives from Wall Street's big banks to influential positions in the White House and important government jobs. The crossover is frequent and the movement is happening in both directions.
The bank received a $US45 billion bailout from US taxpayers at the height of the global financial crisis in 2008.
Many believe the "too big to fail" problem, whereby banks rely on government underwriting to survive a crisis, still exists in the US today.
Other former Citi executives serving in the Obama administration include Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, US Trade Representative Michael Froman and senior Treasury officials Marisa Lago and Nathan Sheets.
Mr Obama's former budget adviser, Peter Orszag, left the administration to join Citi in 2010, and former Treasury secretary Larry Summers held a consulting position at Citi after leaving government. Mr Summers' perceived close ties to Wall Street ultimately cost him becoming Fed chairman, after a Democrat uprising forced him to withdraw from the race against
Citi is not the only Wall Street bank to infiltrate Washington, but its alumni currently make it the most prominently represented bank in the upper echelons of the Obama administration.
'Dangerous' connection
Democrat Senator Elizabeth Ann Warren, a former Harvard Law School academic specialising in bankruptcy law, said at Dr Fischer's confirmation hearing that it was "dangerous if our government falls under a tight-knit group connected to one institution".
"Former colleagues get access through calls and meetings, economic policy can be dominated by group think, other qualified and innovative people can be crowded out of top government positions," she said.
Mr Obama has enacted rules preventing presidential appointees working on matters directly related to a former employer for two years after taking a government job.
Fischer stresses financial experience
Dr Fischer, who served more recently as the governor of the Bank of Israel until last June, admitted there was "obviously something to be worried about". But he said private sector experience, particularly in finance, can assist in government.
"My three years at Citigroup were the most important element that enabled me to be an effective supervisor of banks, which was one of my duties as governor of the Bank of Israel," Dr Fischer said. "Without that experience I would have come to it with largely an academic background, without ever having seen the inside of a bank or having worked in the private sector."
To be fair to Dr Fischer, he is not generally considered a prime problem example of the revolving door. He left Citi in 2005 before the crisis hit and his long-term interest in public policy is evident by his previous role as deputy managing director at the International Monetary Fund. But more broadly, many are questioning the close links between Wall Street and Washington.
Most financial institutions under scrutiny have been involved in money laundering, tax dodging, market rigging and unnecessary risk taking, and fined billions by regulators.
Mike Mayo, who began his career as a bank supervisor at the Fed before working as a bank analyst at Wall Street firms UBS, Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, said he was concerned about the revolving door between the public and private sector.
He cites examples of former senior Fed colleagues being lured to bail out insurer AIG and the failed Bear Stearns.
"These people could not be blamed for wanting to make more money," he says in his book Exile on Wall Street. "But to me these moves made the Fed's Men of Silver appear merely mortal."
He suggests the trend of poachers turned gamekeepers creates an incentive for regulators to be too lenient on banks, in the belief it may improve their job prospects in the private sector.

HALIFAX – Beginning Saturday, residents of Nova Scotia will have to dial three additional numbers for all local calls.
Ten-digit dialing is coming to this province and Prince Edward Island. Local calls dialed with only seven digits will be interrupted by a recorded network announcement before being connected.
"Ten-digit dialing affects all residents and businesses served by area code 902. It is important that everyone takes the time to reprogram their systems and communications equipment prior to Aug. 23, in order to avoid any inconveniences that may be caused by this change," stated Glen Brown, spokesperson for the Canadian Numbering Administrator which is the organization responsible for the administration of Canada's telephone numbers.
Programming communications systems and devices
If they have not already done so, residents and businesses are urged to add the 902 area code to programmed numbers in all of their communications devices and equipment including wireline and wireless phones, auto dialers, computers, alarm systems and lifeline equipment.
They should also include their 10-digit phone numbers on stationary, cheques, advertising, and update their employee, client, supplier, and other databases.
Useful information can be found at www.dial10.ca/checklist
Starting Saturday, local calls dialed with seven digits may be interrupted by a network message. The message reminds callers that they must dial 10 digits when making local calls.
Calls will continue to go through until Nov. 16, after which time seven-digit local calls will not be completed.
Starting Nov. 30, the new 782 area code will be available in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island using the overlay method. This means the 782 area code will coexist with the current 902 area code and will cover the same geographic area.
Customers with telephone numbers that include the 902 area code will retain their numbers. Numbers with the new 782 area code will only be assigned to customers when the existing inventory of 902 numbers is depleted.
Introducing a new area code does not affect local calling areas in any way.
The Telecommunications Alliance, whose members include Bell Aliant, Bell Canada, Rogers and TELUS was formed to spearhead this public awareness initiative.

Texas Lawmakers Visit Sriracha Plant
Photo: KFI's Steve Gregory
IRWINDALE, Calif. (AP) — A Texas lawmaker is making a pitch to move Sriracha hot sauce production to his state from a plant in Irwindale, California, where some residents' complaints about its smell have led to city action.
Texas state Rep. Jason Villalba visited the plant on Monday and was greeted by owner David Tran.
Villalba tells KTTV-TV he'll try to draw distinctions between Texas and California in terms of taxes, regulatory climate and lawsuits.
The Irwindale City Council has tentatively voted to declare the plant a nuisance. An already delayed final vote is scheduled for Wednesday, but a staff recommendation urges that it again be postponed.
The flap over the hugely popular hot sauce has led to numerous solicitations for the plant to relocate elsewhere in California or to other states.

Players reenlist for more mercenary combat through massively destructible environments in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. A direct sequel to the original, the game has players resuming their place among the AWOL squad that found its fortune at the end of the first Bad Company. Picking up the plotline soon after the end of the first game, the story follows the group through the rocky Russian border and beyond, with missions set in dense jungles and barren deserts as well as snow-covered mountains. Buildings and other objects of all sizes can be damaged or destroyed completely, with the right firepower at the right time and place. Players can proceed through each mission as they see fit, be it through stealthy ambushes, keen tactical strikes, or heavily armed frontal assaults that leave nothing but smoldering rubble in their wake.
As in the first game, players customize their characters by choosing an equipment kit before the start of each mission. In Bad Company 2, four basic kits are available: Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Medic. Each gives the character special abilities and limitations, encouraging squad-mates to support one another and work together as a team. As in earlier Battlefield games, players may commandeer vehicles they find in their missions, including motorcycles, patrol boats, tanks, and Blackhawk helicopters. Characters earn experience for killing enemies and accomplishing mission objectives. Experience points can be spent to upgrade the character. Player characters can also collect dog tags from the enemies they take down. In addition to the single-player campaign, the game supports a variety of online multiplayer options, including an assault-style "Rush" mode in which teams take turns defending and attacking crates of valuable cargo.
Resume the role of a soldier of fortune in the squad-based sequel
Play it your way: Stealthy recon, careful tactics, or all-out frontal assault
Unleash heavy armaments to destroy vehicles and entire buildings
Classic misfit characters, low-brow humor, and high adventure
Leave smoldering rubble in your wake as you fight for fame and fortune

I got it from a cheating ex, they say. In the 50's girls would say they broke their hymen horseback riding. They fell on their cunt jumping over a fence. I got it from a cheating ex. Look, I know you got it from a third rate bass player in a bar toilet. I don't give a shit. You think if I had a pussy I wouldn't be fucking everything on two legs? Good for you. But that's the one lie. Otherwise they're real up front. Listen, I have herpes. I get outbreaks about once a year. When I get sick. Sometimes it kicks up when I shave. Yes, it hurts. Anyway, would you ever sleep with me?
It's too bad, because it's bullshit on my part. Hypocrisy. I yap on and on about how STD's aren't a real threat. I rawdog everyone; I encourage everyone else to do the same. I'm sure I've fucked many, many people infected with the herpes virus. We all have it, they say. Or, fifty per cent of sexually active people have it. Which must mean me. The difference is, they have some flaw in their immune system that gives them outbreaks. I don't. Fifty per cent– this feels like bullshit. Paranoid prigs trying to take the fun out of sex. If half of everyone has it, it can't be a big deal, right?
Am I gonna put my money where my mouth is? Fuck no.
And it's my loss. Because the girls with herpes are the coolest girls. I love me a filthy gutter skank. A woman who knows how the game is played. I had a date with a 25 year old Cambodian who was smart and interesting and projected Jean-Luc Godard movies on the wall while we got naked. Who knew: on mute, with no subtitles, his shit isn't so bad. She wouldn't let me touch her pussy. I have herpes, she said. She knew a bunch of my old friends, it turned out. Worked on cool art projects with them. I would have dated her. A keeper. I have herpes, she said. She did not say it was a cheating ex. She was too smart for that. I never called her again.
I'm sure I fuck a ton of girls with herpes. But I punish the good ones for not lying. For doing the right thing. Not only are they cool, always. Not only are they the exact sort of bohemian libertine I want to date. But they do the right thing and they take the hit for it. That's balls. A person who suffers for honesty– that's what "hero" means. Would you ever fuck this hero? Fuck no.
Who knows though. Are they really cooler than other girls, or do they just have to work for it? A girl with herpes will send you the first OKCupid message. It will be something funny, interesting. Her profile won't be boilerplate. It will actually tell you things about her. Show a sense of humor. She'll jump on IM with you and shoot the shit, have real conversations. She will make the first move. Ask you out. Ask if you'd ever sleep with her.
In short, she'll behave like a man. And if she can show herself to be cool enough, you'll think about it. If she pitches you a cool date. If she makes you laugh. If she's perfectly pretty and into the exact same books and movies and music…. if there is just no way you could stand not to meet her. See what I'm saying? You become a woman. There is a HUGE reason never to meet this person and she has to come up with a thousand tiny ways to pick away at it. You're gonna put every little cool thing about her one one side of the scale and the huge heavy lump of HERPES on the other and 99 times out of a hundred she'll be found wanting. She's to you what you are to every other woman. A leper.
This is what equality looks like. Cool, attractive women having to try. Men blowing them off in spite of everything. Because of fear, because of bullshit danger you read about on the internet, because of the idea that once you're with this person you are marked. This is what role reversal looks like. And men: this is what it takes to put you on equal footing, in the dating world. You're about as valuable as a woman who has painful weeping sores on her cunt. Everything else you are, everything you do, might just barely make up for this. Leper.
Except for a few of us, men all have to fight for it. We're all lepers. But so are older women. Ugly women. I would say fat women, but everyone messages fat women for a quick gutter fuck. They get love. But all men, all women over 40, all girls with overbites, underbites, big chin small nose, big nose small chin, over-large proto-hominid forehead, acne…. everyone who is not a cute young woman is a fuck leper. Our entire society is geared toward giving pretty young women a free and easy life in exchange for the hope of pussy. We are all peasants to cute girls' Marie Antoinette.
Still. I take no joy seeing them carted to the guillotine.

Governor-Elect Cuomo Announces Transition Team
Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo named the members of his transition team on Thursday, and they are a racially diverse and bipartisan group.
Lt. Governor-elect Robert Duffy will direct the transition committee. Its members include Brooklyn Democratic Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who's Hispanic, and former State Comptroller Carl McCall, who's African American. Also on the committee are Republican Joanie Mahoney, the executive of Onondaga County and investment banker Felix Rohatyn, who helped the city avoid bankruptcy in the 1970s.
Cuomo also announced two separate advisory committees. One will focus on solving the state's financial problems. It includes American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault and Dennis Hughes, the head of the AFL-CIO.
The other committee will deal with economic development and labor issues. Its members include the state's legislative leaders, Hazel Dukes with the NAACP and Elinor Tatum, the publisher of the Amsterdam News, who had accused Cuomo of taking African American support for granted during his campaign.

The Texas Economy Makes Rick Perry a Lefty Target
Anyone trying to harm the governor of one of the most successful states in America might take guidance from one of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. One of the rules was "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it." Go after people, not institutions. Alinsky may be the best explanation for the indictment of Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Why go after Rick Perry? Perry, governor since 2000, might run for president in 2016, and Texas has been one of the most economically successful states. As a laboratory for democracy, Texas has created every liberal's worst nightmare: a prosperous economy with less, not more, government. To stop the triumph of market-oriented principles, and obstruct Perry's potential candidacy, the left is employing Saul Alinsky's tactics.
Perry was indicted for threatening to veto funding for the Public Integrity Unit in Travis County in order to force the resignation of District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Lehmberg served jail time for drunk driving and her arrest, captured on video, makes mockery of her position.
Just how good has Texas's economy been under the leadership of Rick Perry compared to the United States as a whole and to neighboring California? Here are seven indicators.
Unemployment Rate. The unemployment rate in Texas in June, the latest data available, was 5.1 percent. True, it is seven tenths of a percentage point higher than at the start of the recession, in December 2007, but compares favorably to the United States as a whole (6.3 percent) and California (7.4 percent). California's unemployment rate is 1.6 percentage points higher now than at the start of the recession and America's unemployment rate is 1.2 percentage points higher.
Labor Force Participation Rate. Since the beginning of the recession, discouraged workers have left America's labor force, leaving it three percentage points lower than in 2007. The labor force participation rate-the percentage of people who say they are working or looking for work-is at 1978 levels, before the decade when millions of women marched into the labor force. But Texas with its stronger economy is faring better, with labor force participation rates only half a percentage point below 2007 levels. In California, the rate is four percentage points lower.
Real Gross Domestic Product. Texas has seen a 19 percent growth in real gross domestic product since 2007, compared with 3 percent for California and 5 percent for the United States. Some say that this is because Texas is fortunate to sit on oil and gas reserves. California also has extensive oil and gas in the Monterey Shale, but it has not been as aggressive about exploring and developing these reserves.
Migration. Over the 5-year period from 2005 to 2010, Texas gained, on net, 636,639 residents from other states, according to the Tax Foundation. These new residents brought, on net, $14.4 billion in adjusted gross income. California was by far the biggest loser-the state lost 161,852 net residents to Texas and $3.2 billion in net AGI. This made up a substantial amount of the net loss of 664,294 Californians (nearly the same as residents gained by Texas) and $15.8 billion in AGI.
Debt Per Capita. According to State Budget Solutions' Fourth Annual State Debt Report, Texas has total debt of $341 billion ($13,000 per capita), $244 billion of which is from unfunded public pension liabilities. In contrast, California has total debt of $778 billion ($20,500 per capita), $584 billion of which is from unfunded public pension liabilities. The U.S. average per capita state debt is $16,000.
Credit Rating. Standard and Poor's gives Texas has a AAA rating, the highest available. Its ranking increased from AA to AA+ in 2009, and reached AAA level in 2013. In contrast, California earns an A credit rating, the second-lowest among U.S. states. This remains the case even though California's finances are slightly improved compared to the last decade.
Business Climate. One reason that Texas is ahead is that its business climate is unusually favorable. It has encouraged the development of its energy sector, as has North Dakota, another success story. It is one of nine states that do not tax earned income. California has an income tax rate of 13.3 percent of income over $1,000,000, for both singles and couples. Its income tax rates do not just soak the rich: singles earning $40,000 and couples earning $58,000 are already in the 8 percent tax bracket.
Economists Art Laffer and Stephen Moore, in their latest annual publication Rich States, Poor States, ranked California 47th in economic outlook and Texas 13th. Similarly, the Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in business tax climate and Texas 11th.
The economy of Texas under Perry is not perfect. Some say that too many of the jobs created pay low wages, and that Perry uses regulations to reward his friends and punish his enemies. But in comparison to other states, and to America as a whole, Texas offers growth, jobs, opportunity, and upward mobility.
The left knows that it cannot destroy the economy of Texas, but it can try to demonize the governor of Texas and prevent him from implementing his growth recipe on a national scale.
Perry has demonstrated that states grow with less, not more, government. That outcome by itself suggests that the left's efforts to destroy Rick Perry will not carry over to destroying the state itself. Texas is growing faster than the rest of the country not because it has an irreplaceable governor to manage the state, but precisely because in Texas private individuals rather than government make decisions that affect economic growth. For Democrats, that's a scary track record that requires an Alinsky solution.

We've been focused on the transition to Apache. We're discussing making an initial release of Lucy on the Lucy developers list now. Personally, I would prefer to make the next stable fork from Lucy rather than KinoSearch. Because of the licensing differences between Lucy and KinoSearch, every time we get a code contribution for KinoSearch, we have to nag the author to make extra steps to contribute their intellectual property to the Apache Software Foundation so that we can use it in Lucy. Forking KinoSearch3 would exacerbate that problem; forking Lucy1 would largely solve it. If people want to see Lucy move in a particular direction, e.g. towards a stable fork sooner rather than later, I encourage them to join the Lucy community and to speak up within the Lucy forums. Some Lucy community members are subscribed to the KinoSearch discussion list, but not all. > Are there any workarounds for this issue, such that I could preserve > stability, and not reduce the speed and scalability very much? Could > something like > http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/docs/devel/KinoSearch/Docs/Cookbook/CustomQuery.html > be done in KinoSeach1? Practically speaking, I don't think so, and I wouldn't encourage anyone to try. It would require hacking on undocumented APIs which differ substantially from what's in the current release. KinoSearch1 is 4 years and two software generations behind KinoSearch 0.31. Marvin Humphrey

The landslide
The news of the arrest for international corruption of Finmeccanicas CEO, Giuseppe Orsi, didnt surprise me. Just as I wasnt surprised by the collapse of Monte Paschi of Siena with a loss of 21 billion in value (a tiny hole ...) or to hear that ENIs chief executive, Paolo Scaroni (*), is officially under investigation for corruption for bribes amounting to 200 million euro for contracts in Algeria. Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of the party chums motivated by an atavistic and unquenchable thirst, that after occupying every space, and every armchair, are now denuding the companies managed by the Foundations in which they are present, as in the case of the Siena bank or they are carving up the companies in which the Treasury has shareholdings. Finmeccanica is the second Italian manufacturing group after Fiat. It has about 70 thousand employees and annual revenues of 17 billion and the Treasury has 32.4% of the shares. People have been appointed to Finmeccanica, (that is fundamental to the economic life of the country), not on the basis of merit, but as party nominees. "Every year, Lorenzo Borgogni, the manager for institutional affairs, went to the chiefs office and taking hold of the chart he opened out the organigram and discussed which names were to be inserted where. Rather than a discussion, as Borgogni explained to the prosecuting magistrate, it was the reception of political orders". In this activity of parcelling out positions, there was an alternation of Ministers of the left of the Right, from the Lega and from the Centre. Borgogni talked about this with the prosecutors in their Rome office on 13 December 2011 and on 20 December 2011 Officially the people making up the Board of Directors are appointed by the Treasury, but in reality they are chosen on the basis of political mediation inside the elements making up the governing majority". (**)
Rigor Montis, like a parrot on his perch, said this morning, after Orsis arrest " Theres a problem of governance that we will tackle." In more than a year when he has had an absolute majority in the government, he has obviously not found the time to do this. Let him get out from under our feet and go and take his dog for a walk in the park. Hes already done enough damage. Yes. Sure. Theres a big problem of governance, and thus of control, but who should have been watching over this, unless its the Treasury and thus the Government? Here rather than a problem of governance, theres a problem of honesty of the so called managers and of who placed them there (in exchange for what?). Theres an enormous problem of the lack of a sense of the State. The country is sliding down the hillside. On 24 and 25 February lets send them all home.
(*) In the 1990s, as Techints CEO, Scaroni made a plea bargain and was sentenced to one year and four months for corruption in connection with the kickbacks to get ENEL contracts.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello! I will be assisting you today.
There is no way for a person to know without seeing the medical history or an exam.
This is an exam that could not be completed at home though.
The medical records are covered under hipaa rules.
So by law you would not be allowed to access them without her permission unless you were a spouse.
i would like to know if my girlfriend had a aboriton
Why do you suspect she had an abortion?
Can you see my replies?
if i give u her name u cant find out
i was told she had a aboriton
No this information would be contained in her dr office as well as the facility that completed the rocedure if it was done. The release of this information is against the law under hipaa rules.
Have you discussed this with her?
no but she did make a comment if she ever got pregnet she would not keep it
I see. Unfortunately you cannot get access to any medical records of hers without her consent. If this is of great concern you should discuss it with her and she can give consent to prove that she has not had an abortion. Any other release of records to another person besides here is illegal and can cause the loss of professional license.
These records are closely controlled.
besides her
ok i will try that thank you
This is something I think you should discuss as you seem to have great concerns with it and if not dealt with the anxiety related to it will get worse.
You are very welcome! Good Luck to you and thanks for using Just Answer!
have a good day
Please remember to rate my service today before you leave and come back with any other questions you may have.

It seems President Obama has again proposed to push through laws that will circumvent Congress.
Our government is designed with checks and balances so no one branch can become too powerful.
Congress writes the law, not the President.
We do not have a king/emperor, Presidents do not write law.
Remember the story of the Emperor with no clothes? The emperor listened to his advisors who told him he had beautiful clothes on, in reality the emperor had no clothes on. It took a child who saw the unclothed emperor in a parade to state the truth.
This video shows President Obama consistently using methods he claimed was abhorrant.
Article in part and video
"Scour this report, identify all those areas in which we can act administratively without additional congressional authorization and just get it done," President Obama said today to a "Jobs Council" meeting.

Starting this month, the Pasadena Museum of California Art will be launching a new exhibition entitled "Street Cred: Graffiti Art from Concrete to Canvas" to highlight the city of Los Angeles' wide-ranging graffiti styles. Among the many artists being featured in the show is LA-born graffiti artist Marquis Lewis, better known as Retna. Coming to rise during the 1990s, Retna became know for his unique murals painted on trains, walls and overpasses throughout the city that features symbols inspired by ancient hieroglyphics and calligraphy. A number of select pieces from the artist's works will be on display at the museum from May 15 until September 4.

3 fool-proof ways to save money at Ikea
6 comments:
Ah yes, it's the little things-you-didn't-know-you-needed-aisle that always gets me. Cheese grater...funky wine glasses...another vase I wont use...ReplyDeleteReplies
I reckon they make half their money from those little things!Delete
Hodgepodge - yes that's exactly what ours is right now! Still haven't figured out what we need as we left the TV storage at our old house. It's currently two stacked bookshelves, with a Gordon Ramsay cookbook sandwiched in the middle....ReplyDelete
We used to live SO close to Ikea, and now our nearest one is over an hour away. I won't be spending as much time there as I used to - although here in the UK you can leave your child for 30 minutes free play in the kidzone, wahoo!!!!! I don't think you can beat their classic 'expedit' unit for storage, and every year they bring out new colours of boxes to go in it. Perfect!Replies

The queue to dump your kid was massive on Saturday, so glad I didn't have to think about that :)
Ikea gets a lot of stick but it is cleverly designed furniture and I love putting it together - must be the engineer in me :)
I'm a huge Ikea fan! My DF hates going there though so we only make it there once or twice a year.ReplyDelete
You're right about the little things adding up! We always come home with a few extras!
Our next purchase will be a kid's kitchen set :-)Replies

KICKOFF: Saturday, 8 ET
SITE: Sun Life Stadium, Miami, Fla.
SURFACE: Grass
SERIES: Miami leads 31-23 (last meeting, 2009, Miami 38-34)
RECORDS: Florida State, 4-1, 2-0; Miami 3-1, 1-0
POLLS: Florida State (23 AP, 24 USA Today); Miami (13 AP, 14 USA Today)
-- Can Florida State's offensive line create enough room for a running game? Can the Seminoles protect Christian Ponder well enough that he's not forcing throws? Conversely, can FSU's seemingly improved defense take away Miami's running game and downfield throws by Jacory Harris? Are the Seminoles really ready for prime time? FSU's blowout loss at Oklahoma a month ago gives pause to this matchup. No one is sure whether that was just an aberration or this team is still talent deficient enough that the Seminoles can't compete with elite opponents.
-- Miami will look to pound the 'Noles with its running game. The Hurricanes rushed for 171 yards in their win over Clemson behind RBs Damien Berry (24 carries, 101 yards) Lamar Miller (7-53), and Mike James (5-31). The defensive front seven must keep the pressure on FSU QB Christian Ponder.
-- Like his mentor, Alabama's Nick Saban, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher has sought to get the Seminoles equally proficient in running and passing. The Seminoles are third in the ACC in rushing offense, sixth in passing offense, second in total offense and scoring offense. They have been able to utilize a deep backfield, getting good production from all three tailbacks. The emergence of sophomore receiver Willie Haulstead has opened up some things in the passing game.
In four of the first five games, the Seminoles have been terrific on defense. But the Oklahoma game still raises question on whether the Seminoles have significantly improved from last year. Right now, it looks that way. FSU leads the nation in sacks and ranks fourth nationally in run defense. The Seminoles rank right behind Miami, at No. 2, in the ACC for scoring defense and total defense. The players have played and sounded like they are confident and content in new defensive coordinator Mark Stoops' scheme.
Miami is producing only 370.2 yards a game (ninth in the conference) but looked to be getting its running attack together in the win over Clemson. The move of Joel Figueroa to guard and starting freshman Seantrel Henderson at right tackle could pay big dividends. The problem for the Hurricanes is that they have a tendency to stop themselves. QB Jacory Harris has eight interceptions in his last three games and faces a Florida State defense that leads the nation in sacks with 5.0 per game. He had two picks against the Seminoles last year.
Defensively, Miami ranks second in the country to FSU in sacks per game (4.25) and is first in the nation in tackles for loss with 10.5 per game. LB Sean Spence (8.0) and DE Olivier Vernon (6.0) are the leaders in tackles for loss. The Hurricanes rank only fourth in the conference against the run, however, giving up 130.8 yards per game to opposing rushers. The Hurricanes, who had only nine interceptions all of last year, have six already this season, including three against Clemson in their last outing.
Seminoles: Miami has won nine of the past 12 matchups, including the Orange Bowl game at the end of the 2003 season, but Florida State has won three of the past five, including the past two in South Florida by five points combined. Six of the past nine matchups have been decided by three or fewer points or in overtime. ... PK Dustin Hopkins has never attempted a game-winning kick, but it wouldn't be a Miami-FSU game without at least figuring the kickers into the game. With seven of the last meetings being decided by just a total of 28 points, it could come down to a field goal. Hopkins made a 51-yarder last year against Miami in his first college field goal attempt. He's 7-of-9 this year. ... LB Christian Jones, a freshman, subbed last week for injured starter Mister Alexandera and registered a team-high six tackles. It earned him ACC player of the week honors, along with FSU C Ryan McMahon. Among Jones' tackles was a sack. He also broke up a pass. ... QB Christian Ponder will be the third FSU quarterback to make a third start against Miami, joining Chris Weinke and Chris Rix.
Hurricanes: Two of Miami's top three receivers had nice games against Florida State last year. WR Leonard Hankerson, who leads the Hurricanes with 23 catches for 388 yards this year, had four receptions for 72 yards against the Semioles. WR Travis Benjamin, third on the team this season with 11 receptions for 165 yards, had four catches for a game-high128 yards. But LaRon Byrd, who is No. 2 in receiving this year (12-118), did not have a catch against the Seminoles. ... The team with the most penalties has won 17 of the last 28 meetings between the Hurricanes and Seminoles. The team with the most penalty yardage has won 18 of 28 meetings since 1983 and at one time had won 13 straight in that span. ... Miami has an 10 touchdown "drives" that have consumed under two minutes this season. ... True freshman Seantrel Henderson made his first career start when he opened at right tackle against Clemson. ... Miami is the only team over the last 35 years with shutouts of Florida State. The Hurricanes did it twice -- 47-0 in 1976 (FSU coach Bobby Bowden's first season) and 31-0 in 1988.
- TB Jermaine Thomas -- He's coming off one of his best games, gaining 122 yards, including 112 in the first half, and two scores against Virginia. It was his first 100-yard game this season, sixth in his career. He will factor prominently in the Seminoles' hopes of establishing a running game.
- QB Christian Ponder -- This will be his third start against Miami and he enters with great memories. He passed for 294 yards, two touchdowns last year against Miami. In the 2008 victory at Miami, Ponder rushed for 144 yards, second-most rushing yards by an FSU quarterback in any game in school history. On the flip side, however, Ponder has struggled throughout his career to deliver a big game against a nationally-ranked team. There is a lot of pressure on him to make it happen this time.
- CB Greg Reid -- He draws the assignment to matchup against Miami's talented receiver Leonard Hankerson, who is second in the ACC in receiving and has produced six touchdowns. Reid has two interceptions and deflected four passes. This will be one of the deciding factors in the game, whoever can win or neutralize the other in this position battle.
- WR Leonard Hankerson -- A liability who had a reputation for big drops his first two years, Hankerson has played his way into a first-round draft pick in his senior year. He is fourth in the ACC in receptions per game (5.8) and second in receiving yardage (97.0), and he leads in touchdown catches with six after a three-TD day against Clemson.
- LB Sean Spence -- Spence is the playmaker the Hurricanes have lacked on defense in recent years. He leads Miami in tackles with 38 stops, including 8.0 for losses (1.5 sacks). Spence had 34 tackles in Miami's last three games, all on the road (Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Clemson). He also has broken up two passes and has forced a fumble.
- CB Brandon Harris -- Harris made the defensive play of the game in the win over Clemson when he stopped the Tigers' Andre Ellington for no gain on a fourth-and-one deep in Miami territory with Miami up by only six points. His potential matchup with FSU WR Bert Reed (28-251) could be one of the keys to the game.
LT Andrew Datko (shoulder, probable), RB Ty Jones (ankle, questionable), CB-KR Lamarcus Joyner (ankle, probable), LB Mister Alexander (concussion, probable).
RB Graig Cooper (ankle, probabble), DE Marcus Robinson (ankle, questionable), RB Lamar Miller (shoulder, questionable).

Baked Quinoa and Oatmeal with Candied Pecans
Pecan pieces are candied on the stovetop for this hearty breakfast casserole.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cups pecan pieces (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup plus 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 4 cups water
- Kosher salt
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
How to make this recipe
Melt the salted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pecans and toss to coat. Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and the cayenne pepper, and stir until caramelized. Spread pecans on a wax-paper lined baking sheet to cool for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350º. Grease an 8-by-8-inch or 11-by-7-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Bring the quinoa, oats, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Reduce heat, add the rest of the cinnamon and 1 cup brown sugar, and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the water is absorbed into the grains, remove from heat, and let cool for 10 minutes.
Lightly beat the eggs and slowly add them to the quinoa and oats mixture, stirring constantly. Add the baking powder and 1 1/2 cups of the cooled candied pecans and mix well. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar on top. Bake, uncovered, 25 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and brown on top. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve with remaining candied pecans on top.
Make Ahead
The pecans can be candied and stored in an air-tight container up to three days ahead. The quinoa and steel-cut oats can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Add eggs, baking powder, and candied pecans before baking.

Published: September 22, 2009 at 12:12 PMThanks for the report. The photo is of "The Great American Scream Machine". I was hoping it would be the "Georgia Cyclone" though. That has to be one of the worst rides in the world.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 12:19 PMLess than 2 weeks ago I was there, and I left the curse of Gareth behind. After departing Six Flags, and not one hour from the Florida state line, the rain started, the first rain I'd seen since I'd left Florida earlier in the week.
Six Flags gave me perfect weather, mostly clear skies, and sweltering heat, similar to Orlando, but then there was this.
Oops. Georgia, I'm sorry. I vow not to darken your mouldy door steps with my presence for a while!
Published: September 22, 2009 at 1:59 PMEveryone needs to update their coaster count. Looks like we now have some water coasters to add...
This looks considerably worse than the last time there was a major flood there...
And to the anonymous poster above - Georgia Cyclone is an amazing coaster with amazingly horrible trains. If they would just do something to improve the trains the ride would have a great boost in ridability.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 1:59 PMHow will the wood be affected by the water? I wouldn't want to ride for a while.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 2:17 PMCan't believe Six Flags will try to open this weekend. What about the time for the clean up. Are they really hurting for money?
Published: September 22, 2009 at 2:28 PMSorry to see the flooding at SFOG, I like the park. And as anyone who's been to Knoebels, you can see the posted signs that show the heights of some of their worst floods. It started out as a picnic and swimming area, so there's a large stream that runs right through the park.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 3:04 PMI never saw the press release that said that Six Flags Over Georgia was going to do a huge waterpark expansion! So do they hold any sort of record for number of water coasters now?
Published: September 22, 2009 at 7:32 PMI don't see how Six Flags Under Water plans on being open this weekend, it's going to take at least a week to clean the park up.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 8:00 PMSnorkle recommended.
Published: September 22, 2009 at 8:21 PMSix Flags is trying to open this weekend? Seems they have some things to take care of before they do that. They could open the flooded park and rent canoes.
Robert's "pump and bail" comment reminds me of a story from old Coney Island. In the early 1900's, Coney suffered a series of bad fires. One in particular was in 1907 at George Tilyou's Steeplechase Park. Most of his park was completely destroyed by the fire, leaving little more than a 25 acre pile of burnt rubble. Ever the showman, George Tilyou put up a sign at his charred front gates that read.
"I have troubles today that I did not have yesterday, I have troubles yesterday that I have not today. On this spot will be erected shortly a bigger, better, greater Steeplechase Park. Admission to the burning ruins...10 cents"
Published: September 22, 2009 at 8:32 PMThanks for posting all this info! I caught a brief glimpse of the aerial footage on the evening news, but had entered the room too late to hear what park they were showing. I figured it was probably SFOG, but I appreciate the confirmation! (Knew I'd be able to find the scoop on TPI!)
Published: September 22, 2009 at 9:25 PMBwahahahaha!!! I can't help but laugh at the remarks about 'our new water park!' In fact, our local TV news inserted comments like these into their report!
Last time SFOG flooded this bad (and it was not as bad as this flood) was in 1995, when Hurricane Opal raced inland and dumped torrential rains in the A-T-L... It occurred just before the opening weekend of Fright Fest, but the park managed to open on time, with the exception of the haunted house. That haunted house, not to be confused with the present day Fearman's Manor in the USA section, was located in the current picnic pavilion area and was completely flooded and had to be completely rebuilt. I do not know how the Scream Machine will be dealt with. Sections of the track are submerged this time around.
SFOG is planning on being open this weekend, although a few select rides affected by the flood will remain shut down.
Maybe this is a sign of what's ahead. I would love it if they built a hybrid roller/water coaster. As for Georgia Cyclone, I have heard rumors from park employees that this ride's days may be numbered in favor of another ride. But that is just rumor.
Instead of riding Thunder River, maybe we can ride the 'real' Thunder River this weekend! :+)
Published: September 23, 2009 at 6:24 AMThis is why there is Flood Insurance!
Published: September 23, 2009 at 6:49 AMI wouldn't advise Six flags to reopen so soon- water + wooden roller coasters isn't a good combo. They should care about the safety of their costumers and not so much the amount of money they'll be losing by closing for a few days- they'll be better off in the long run.
Published: September 23, 2009 at 7:39 AMPersonally... I don't see the park opening this Saturday. There is A LOT of water surrounding the rides. I don't think it would be safe... let alone sanitary. Think of all the food places that are underwater... YUCK!! The article states they will close off the area around some of the rides... I am so sure (sarcasm) that will work - considering people hop fences to go after their hats & cell phones they are told not to take on rides. I would suggest that the park NOT open. Take this time to throughly clean up and retrain the staff. That would improve sales greatly!
Published: September 23, 2009 at 8:24 AMThey expect to open this weekend? How? A previous comment joked about it being a water park and it ain't far off. Maybe they'll rent inflatable rafts at the entry to the park? None of those coasters ( or anything else run by electricity ) should be running until the water level drops and the wooden support beams dry out. ...even then, the water damage would make the integrity of the ride dubious.
....but renting rafts to paddle around the submerged park? Awesome. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity IMHO. Guests will enjoy the approaching "animatronic" alligators.
Published: September 23, 2009 at 8:26 AMRobert, sure.
Published: September 23, 2009 at 9:25 AMi think they sound money hungry and thats why they are pushing to open this weekend. There was a planned company outing for my daughters family. Wouldnt want to dissapoint now would we?...yeah, right so lets just say we be open and everything be not running. They would come out better looking inthe long run for having shut the doors for a week or two for a good check and cleanup. I'd be scared to ride ANYTHING,makes me wonder if they do regular ride maintenance and check. ALSO, its suppose to rain SAT and SUN is it not? Yeah, Carowinds is sounding better all the time! Thanks for caring more about customer safety Six Flags!
Published: September 23, 2009 at 10:35 AMwhat is this going to do to the safety of these amusement rides??? Will the park be ok??? I think this is the worst ever! Think of all the money that now has to be spent to make sure things are safe. Well I guess ticket prices will go up again!
Published: September 23, 2009 at 12:08 PMOnly certain sections of the park look to be underwater. the Scream Machine is on a plot of land that is at a very low elevation with a small lake. Most of the park should be high and (relatively) dry, PARTICULARLY the parts with the more popular rides. I could be wrong, since I haven't been down there to see it yet myself, but the heavy flood damage should be isolated to certain areas of the park. I doubt they'll open the Scream Machine OR suffer much for its temporary closure. Everyone's there to ride Goliath anyway!
Published: September 23, 2009 at 12:45 PMIn the helicopter footage on youtube you cand see that the scream machine and the batman and several whole areas of buildings are completely submerged. It didnt look too isolated.
Published: September 23, 2009 at 3:05 PMFrom what's been shown, the "west" parking lot is submerged to the cotton states area of the park, check a map if you have one. Leaving all rides in Lickenskillet closed. There is also a bridge to get to the back section of the park without having to go into the flooded area, I wonder was this ever predicited?
Published: September 23, 2009 at 3:15 PMthe scream machine is about 50-100 ft away from the chattahoochie river. the ninja (the red one next to scream machine), batman, mind mender (hard to see, but next to the right of batman, possibly the scorcher(not seen in video but in a very low spot), tomastown and thunder river(and maybe the rest of likskillet)and of corse the scream machine are likely to be closed. the rest of gotham city, will likely be open because in the video you can see the circle with the Batmobile and the crime wave above water.
Published: September 23, 2009 at 3:36 PMYeah, this is bad news. For people who were wondering how the rides will get hurt, well here is my answer, or at least what I expect what the water did to them:
To the wood coasters, it could REALLY ware down the wood, so it's no where near as safe as they used to be (Although their 2 woodies weren't that safe from roughness BEFORE the flood).
And the steel coasters could suffer from major rust...
Oh, and I never saw any thing on Acraphobia, Superman, or my by far fav coaster there, GOLIATH! Does anyone have any news on that?
But still, I know SFOG got flooded, and it's terrible, but guys, so many people were flushed out of their homes in atlanta, and all around, too.
Oh, and keep this in mind: Ninja and GASM were both over water... so a flood here is kinda expected if there is A LOT of rain...
Published: September 23, 2009 at 4:36 PMI just saw on the news that they are working on the parking lot which seems to only have standing water on the ground. Of course with our lovely Georgia clay the lot is now covered in a rusty orange-red goup. Superman is on an extremely high hill I doubt it got much damage other than a good beat down from the down pour. Sadly, more rain seems to be coming back into the area.
Published: September 24, 2009 at 1:30 PMI see how they left the New Orleans park after a flood. Although I'm sure the ATL park is much more profitable...
Published: September 25, 2009 at 7:49 PMyall cant open six flags unless you wants to go swiming.....yall crazy
Published: September 25, 2009 at 8:37 PMI'm from Georgia. I'm about ten minutes away from Six Flags. The flooding and rain didn't do damage from what I see around my house, this is terrible. The Scream Machine was one of my favorite rides and it's almost flooded to the top. Six Flags wants to open next weekend for the Military Stuff, I think. Then it's Fright Feast.
Published: September 26, 2009 at 9:03 AMYou are a brave one if you ride any of those roller coasters if they open back up this weekend.
Published: September 26, 2009 at 9:17 AMI used to work at Six Flags, but I never had to deal with any flooding like this. My ride was in the area that was flooded (the "skydiving" ride in the middle of Scream Machine). I don't agree with Six Flags trying to open the park this weekend, but they're thinking about money. Remember, they just recently filed for bankruptcy.
The entire guest parking lot was flooded, and most of the rides that are along that side of the park. I know how much maintenance used to check some of the rides, and let's just say I wouldn't ride Free Fall. Cyclone and Ninja have gotten to the point where they are too rough to ride (Ninja was flooded; Cyclone wasn't). I knew someone who was wearing earrings while riding Ninja, and their ears were bleeding afterward because of the shoulder pads. With Scream Machine, I have personally seen a guest come back into the station holding the lap bar above their head.
I read on here that Six Flags wants to put up some kind of thing to keep guests out of the recently flooded areas. What they used to do was put up a sign in the path going to that area. They'll probably try to put up caution tape too. Good luck with that...the "barricades" are not going to work unless they pay cops to come and stand in the areas. Even then, people will think that they can get over to those areas to see the damage. I've seen people do it before.
Published: September 26, 2009 at 10:48 AMMy concern with them attempting to open today is the fact that judging where the standing water is from the pictures and knowing where the ticket lines are...I hope they all remember to bring their floats instead of sitting on those stools all day. Also, will they be selling the tickets half price since you can only use about half the park?

Comments about Crunch Time Cookbook:
As a keen cook and a person who avidly hates all "diet" books and supplements, I was sceptical about the quality and the variety that a cook book like this could offer me. I was pleasantly surprised. The recipes offer variety and for those of us who need a bit of assistance in working out calorie control (or portion control) this book offers guidance in those areas. There is also the scope to create your own versions of the recipes, as they are largely a guide to eating healthily rather than a starvation regime. Highly recommended for those of us who need a little help or a kickstart in getting back to eating right.
