Comment from William (Bill) Crenshaw, (9/2/2011, 6:50 AM)
Both the House and Senate are missing one most important skill. That skill is Leadership. Without Leadership, Strong Leadership, they are doomed to failure. We look to the President to provide that Leadership.
Comment from Carl Thompson, (9/2/2011, 12:18 PM)
When the President talks to the Republican leadership, They come to an agreement, and then the tea party group says no compromise, no new source of income, and the Republicans capitulate to them, who lacks leadership?
Comment from James Johnson, (9/6/2011, 12:49 PM)
The President lacks leadership. New income, or higher taxes, would kill what little economy we have. What the President needs to lead in is reducing waste and spending and in reducing job killing red tape. The problem with the President is he has no experience and has surrounded himself with scholars with no real life experience. As a team they haven't a clue as to how to deal with the economy to create jobs. Previous spending has not helped so more spending will lead to more of the same, so that is not the solution. The tea party was not against compromise, in fact they supported Cut, Cap and Balance, which offered a solution, but the democrats were against it just because the idea came from the GOP. The dems are the ones who refused to compromise. Just as with obamacare, when the GOP offered over 1400 amendments, the Dems voted down every one because of their refusal to compromise.
Comment from Jerry Trevino, (9/21/2012, 5:36 PM)
The answer to the debt crisis to to print more money. The more money we print and redistribute, the more people buy things and more jobs are created to make those things, then the whole country collapses. This is what the president is doing right? I do not believe congress or the house passes bills to print more money or do they? Real Estate, asests in general are now worth half the value of 2007 or so, yet essential items such as fuel, food, insurance, health services, etc are twice the cost of 2007. We are all affected by the debt to China and the debt to ourselves created by printing more money. The worse affected will be our children. They will have to pay much more in taxes to pay the off the debt. The Myth that the republicans or the tea party are blocking sound decisions or proposals is false. The president spends most of his time passing programs that buy him votes. The lack of leadership is on both sides, however, the buck stops at the president. He seems to be more concerned about facilitating abortions than the providing real solution to our economic problems. This country is in a real mess. If we go further down the cliff, many other countries will follow.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (9/25/2012, 9:36 AM)
Jerry, I'm not sure where your "half" is coming from. The Dow and S&P 500 are almost exactly what they were in 2007 (not quite the peak, but the 2007 average.) Gold is well over double what it was in 2007. Home values (Case-Schiller) are down about 25% from 2007 - not half.
Comment from James Johnson, (9/26/2012, 12:00 PM)
When more money is printed it devalues the existing currency, that is why Gold has had such an increase. Gold is worth the same value as it was before, but since the value of a dollar has gone down it now takes more of them to purchase an ounce of gold. Savings interest is about 1/2%, but inflation is over 2%, so every dollar in savings goes down 1.5% in value every year. The average personal net worth has gone down 40% since 2008, wages have dropped and there is a higher percentage og unemployed people than there was during the Depression. Printing more money is like a company printing more stock, it simply devalues the existing shares or dollars. Then turn around and borrow Trillions of dollars you know you cannot pay back and what does it get you? It gets what is called Generational Theft! My grandchildren and great grandchildren will work most of their lives and possibly still not pay back what is being borrowed today. Government has no money. All the money they have are dollars from taxpayers. When government gives away more than the taxpayers can pay in then you have Greece - Which is exactly where we are heading. The spending going on in DC is fiscal insanity! Both parties are to blame though. The House just passed a Continuing Resolution to continue spending at the current rate for another 6 months. The House menbers know spending must be reduced, but leadership doesn't have the guts to do it, knowing to do so would cause an impasse and probably shut down government. Actually, most people would love for the government to shut down! That would actually save us billions per day!
Comment from Chuck Pease, (9/27/2012, 11:23 AM)
Well said James. Jerry not sure how you come to your stated opinions, glad your not in charge. "Quantitative Easing" is what printing money out of thin air is called. Thus the increase in gold value as consumers and investors run scared as the dollar is devalued by printing more money. Rest assured the gold bubble will burst. How many bubbles do we the people have to go thru before everyone see's a pattern.When the gold bubble bursts then effectivley what little was left to the average Joes investments will have been cleaned out.I think this is a mop up of the wealth they missed in the oh eight meltdown>
Comment from John Bennett, (9/28/2012, 8:32 AM)
"there is a higher percentage og [sic] unemployed people than there was during the Depression."
No, that is not true -
In 1933 the unemployment rate was nearly 25%.
Comment from James Johnson, (9/28/2012, 10:46 AM)
John, the NYT is a liberal publication and you cannot believe a word they say, but that is true of most, if not all, of the media today. The same is true with government issued numbers. For example, back in January our government suddenly decided that 3.2 Million people had stopped looking for work, so they deducted 3.2 million people from the total number used to calculate the unemployment rate. That act alone dropped the unemployment rate from about 8.7% to 8.3%. Then all the news services made a big deal of how unemployment had gone down! Then there are the 3.5 million people who's unemployment ran out so they were shifted onto SS Disability roles, because they must be emotionally damaged by being unemployed for so long. Food prices have increased by about 35% in the last year, there has been a similar increase in our energy costs, but when they calculate inflation those numbers are not included, presumably because they are too "volatile". Inflation is calculated based upon "durable goods" only, like washing machines and cars, so they tell us inflation is only at 2% while daily it costs us more like 30% to live. When one looks at the number of employed people versus the total number of non-working adult people the percentage not working is higher than it was during the Great Depression.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (9/28/2012, 11:45 AM)
Inflation (CPI) is NOT calculated based on durable goods only. It includes food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation,education and communications, and other goods and services broken out into over 200 categories. "Core" CPI strips out food and energy. Want the detailed breakdown? http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpid1208.pdf While I do have issues with the way CPI is measured (particularly substitution and improvement/upgrades for things like computers, you cannot oversimplify to "durable goods only."
Comment from John Bennett, (10/1/2012, 8:28 AM)
"John, the NYT is a liberal publication and you cannot believe a word they say, but that is true of most, if not all, of the media today. The same is true with government issued numbers." Is that true even if the government is controlled by conservatives?
Comment from James Johnson, (10/1/2012, 12:07 PM)
Tom, I just spoke with my Congressman last week. He verified that the rate of inflation is calculated on "durable goods" only. Durable goods being defined as objects having a life expectancy of 3 or more years. Perhaps that over simplifies it, but it does not include our every day living cost, such as food and energy. I doubt it could be held to 2% and include medical cost as that would definately drive it up above the stated level. Health insurance alone has gone up about 15% in the last year on a national average. I will go check out that website though. Thanks for the addy!
John, I cannot remember back to when a true conservative controlled the government. That would probably have been Reagan and he had to work with a divided Congress as he was a republican and the democrats controlled at least one branch of Congress much of the time he was in office. In the current Congress the republicans control the House, but few are really conservatives, while the Senate is controlled by the radical liberal element bent on Generational Theft and spending us into a fiscal hell. If we ever did get a President and Congress comprised of true conservatives, men and women who were willing to stand firm on their moral and ethical principles and refuse to compromise those principles, I believe we would get an honest government, which would result in an honest media. Were our elected officials willing to commit to abide by the Marine Corps Code of Ethics they would be made to be honest or resign, but I'm sure we all know that is not going to happen. Most of them are not even willing to vote for legislation to enact term limits.
Comment from William Feliciano, (10/1/2012, 3:30 PM)
I'm a registered Democrat (moderate/conservative), and though perhaps Jim's facts may be a bit off, it doesn't take from his message that to the average person, prices in the things that matter most are spiraling out of control, and it doesn't seem like anyone cares or is doing anything about it. What bothers me most is that in many blogs and/or exchanges like this one, while we all clobber ourselves over being liberal or conservative, no one mentions several things: 1)corporations have the $ means and now the legal rights to influence government more than any of our individual votes, and 2)profit (corporate or Wall Street)doesn't seem to have allegiance to the USA. No matter what controls are put in place by a Republican or Democratic president or Congress, if the end result continues to be jobs created oversees by American businesess, then what is the point? You cannot create jobs both here and abroad. Sorry but its time for some serious protectionism here. I cringe when i hear politicians say that we must forget the jobs (and their respective fields) that have been outsourced and concentrate on training americans to work in high tech jobs to be created here. I'm sorry, but that is a cop out on allowing outsourcing. America, with its college prices, will not be pumping out a highly educated populance any time soon. Those low tech jobs you outsourced, hey, sorry but we can use them here too. Corporations, and their lack of allegiance to the USA in the "world economy" must be held accountable as well by whoever is the new president. Unfortunately, i have a feeling that this will not be the case.
Comment from John Bennett, (10/2/2012, 8:14 AM)
" John, I cannot remember back to when a true conservative controlled the government. That would probably have been Reagan..."
Now I know you're joking...Reagan was not a fiscal conservative. After cutting taxes his first year in office, he raised taxes eleven times in the next seven years to make up for the decline revenue. We still ran a deficit and the deficit tripled over his two terms. He grew the federal government by bailing out Social Security in '83, and while he had promised to shrink government by cutting from the Depts. of Energy and Education he instead added the Department of Veteran's Affairs, one of the largest government agencies.
Note, I don't disapprove of these moves, because I think we need to support Social Security, our veterans, and a host of other things, but I'm not a conservative...and neither was Reagan.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (10/2/2012, 10:15 AM)
James, I'm afraid that your conversation with the Congressman says more about your Congressman's understanding of inflation measuring methods than it does about the numbers themselves. Don't get me wrong - we are certainly seeing inflation, and we are seeing it in lots of important categories. QE Part 3 is certainly moving things further toward inflation. I also think the BLS measurement methods are far from perfect - but it's what we have.
Comment from John Fauth, (10/3/2012, 12:45 PM)
John, the full Reagan tax cuts did not take place immediately. In fact, the reduction was done in three steps; from 69% to 50% in 1982; from 50% to 38.5% in 1987; and from 38.5% to 28% in 1988. Economist Art Laffer described their delayed installation as the biggest economic mistake of the Reagan administration because it encouraged delayed investment until lower rates kicked in. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=213 The effect of those marginal rate reductions was to tremendously increase tax revenues. According to figures published by the White House, revenues went from $ 517 billion in 1980 to $ 1,031 billion (or $ 1.031 trillion) in 1990. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals
Now John, I ask you in all seriousness, are the deficits in the decade a result of too little revenue or too much spending? Politicians have an enormous appetite to spend money faster than we can make it (or print it) in an effort to buy our votes. But even those trillions can't change facts, or history.
Comment from Chuck Pease, (10/4/2012, 10:56 PM)
Well said William.The more I have been hearing about the global economy for the last couple of decades the more outsourcing of America's job I have watched happen. What they should be telling us is the new global economy doesnt include the USA. Big business doesnt want to pay Amricans a fair wage thats why the push for a global economy. Just my opinion.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (10/5/2012, 8:31 AM)
John: While absolute revenue did go up from 1980 to 1990, if you account for inflation (using 1990 dollars) - 1980 revenue would be $883 billion, not $517 billion. Yes, revenue increased a lot, but inflation ate more than half the increase.
Comment from John Fauth, (10/8/2012, 9:05 AM)
Tom, there's no question that inflation is the destroyer of wealth in any decade. Which is, of course, the cause for concern arising from the Federal Reserve policy of QE1, QE2 and now QE3. At some point (we hope) the economy begins expanding and generating jobs. At that point, the dormant dragon of inflation rises anew. Eventually we must pay for the profligate spending of our government.
Comment from John Fauth, (10/8/2012, 9:09 AM)
Chuck, would big business send jobs overseas if American consumers would not buy the resulting "made in (fill in the blank)" products? I think not. Your friends and neighbors sell each other out every day as consumers in order to save a buck. That's not the fault of big business.
Comment from Chuck Pease, (10/9/2012, 10:53 AM)
John, I must admit you have a good point. I was having tires changed in and I wont mention business name. It took a hour and half to get this done. In the mean time I spent that time looking at various items thruout the store, not 1 item out of hundreds I looked at where made in the USA!!! Not 1. Then I got home and looked at a lot of the items that furnish my home and all of the appiances and did research on the points of origin. Guess how many were made in America?? Not 1. Wow. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Comment from John Fauth, (10/11/2012, 8:32 AM)
Chuck, obviously it's not just you. It's all of us. With few exceptions, manufacturers who produce products in the US sell those products at higher prices because they have higher costs. And the market (ie: consumers) consistently chooses lower cost products made overseas. People make choices for short term savings and pay the long term price for it. It's the freedom to make poor choices. But blaming their choices on someone else (ie: big business), well... it makes for great political advertisement, but it's just not factually accurate.
Comment from William Feliciano, (10/11/2012, 2:12 PM)
John, that may be true. But neither i or many of my neighbors can afford to seek out "Made in the USA" products anymore. I always check the label, but i cannot find a domestic competitor in most cases. I surely can't afford the gasoline to drive around seeking domestic products either. I don't believe that the American consumer instructed big business to go abroad for cheaper labor - Washington, Congress and the businesses did that all on their own. Yes we the consumer benefited by lower prices. But i don't believe any American foresaw (or would have approved of) the huge shift of manufacturing abroad. I'm now sorry that i made fun of Ross Perot. I'll never forget his words: "there will be a loud sucking sound" created as jobs fly abroad once protectionism is dropped. Big business didn't go abroad so much to bring you lower prices - they also went abroad for larger profit margins. If you take your average lady's blouse, and subtract from it the (foreign) labor costs, there will still be a substantial profit. I don't think that the prices are truly reflect the savings in labor. Yes, the company has to recoup their investment in facility-buildign, but i think the prices are still too high. Once you rid yourself of all American made alternatives, and there is nothign to compare to, well then, how do you know you are paying cheaper for foreign? I think the prices will creep up to what we would pay if it were made in the USA.
Comment from John Fauth, (10/12/2012, 1:48 PM)
William, you raise a valid point. To some degree, the "Made In The USA" ship has sailed and younger folks don't have that choice anymore. They've been sold out by previous generations. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 51 and can remember when the choices existed. But if you're young enough that the choice didn't exist for you, think of what happened as we spend the next generation's financial choices into oblivion. It's not fair either. As for profits, the first few to go overseas to low cost labor can enjoy increased margins for a while... until the rest of an industry follows. After that, the same "laws" of competition exist regardless of country of origin.

Natasha SanchezSugar Cane Plane 2016
Digital Print
8" x 10" | 11" x 14" Framed
Shipping cost: $10.00
Artist + Natasha SanchezFollow this artist
I am a photographer and songwriter living in New Orleans. My photographic works use a variety of mediums - lumen printing, a 19th century photo process, 35mm and a smidge of digital - 20th and 21st century processes respectively. My photographic adventures began with 35mm film in 1999. I learned how to shoot by how to print so the two go hand in hand for me. I quickly became interested in hand coloring photographs and alternative styles of printing, making solarizations and using liquid emulsion. Years later, inspired by the need to recycle the boxes of expired photo paper tucked away in my kitchen cabinets, I began working with the lumen print process. Using only sunlight to imprint the image on to photographic paper, a lumen print captures the natural and pure beauty of our world. I was hooked from the first lumen print I made, and am always exploring new subjects and techniques within this process.
As a songwriter I write and perform songs that tell the tale of the world as I know it, sometimes creating narratives that merge my photographs and songs into a one-woman multimedia performance, the most recent being a chronicle of my World Tour, "Louisiana - the State of My World".
Natasha Sanchez is a New Orleans artist living and working in the Lower Garden District neighborhood.LOWER GARDEN DISTRICT

I'm happy to have found this group, but I must say was a bit saddened to see that so few people had joined. What is it about having conservative political leanings that is so seemingly taboo among the atheist crowd? Or perhaps the better question is, why do conservative atheists seem to be ostracized by the liberal atheist crowd?
I wish I could find even more people like myself willing to speak out as Ron Paul or Michael Shermer fans without being afraid of being heckled. But for some reason it seems to me that even among this misunderstood and misrepresented minority of atheists, we still have certain differences that some cannot reconcile.
Do I have it all wrong, or is there indeed a certain stigma that accompanies being a bit different in one's politics - even among the atheist crowd? And if so, why is it still so polarizing among us?

I think the problem is that being conservative implies that you buy the whole manifesto. My experience is that conservative atheists may accept some of the social conservative values but they usually only consider themselves conservative on the fiscal and small government platforms. Being a conservative implies, for instance, that you are against gay marriage. Long story short, we are associated with the Christian Right.
Very true statements. I always describe myself as "fiscally conservative, socially tolerant". I believe in less government and less taxes. Fiscal responsibility is my main voting goal. However, like you I do not believe in government trying to mandate their "morals" on others. I hate that I am associated with Christian Conservatives when I am not one..but, if I am speaking from Atheist point of view I am assumed to be a liberal..also NOT that. I really wish there was a viable 3rd party that represented my thoughts, but I guess there is never a 100% party that supports everything one person believes in..you just gotta decide which issues are more important to your life and try to get the best candidate for that microcasm of thought.
One of many ways I express how neither old party in the U.S. is better than the other is exactly this: Democratic Party = government manipulation of our private lives; Republican Party= religious control. Which party offers neither? LIBERTARIAN! I first indicated a Party Preference for the Libertarian Party on my voter registration in 2016. I became a dues-paying, card-carrying member of the Libertarian Party in 2018. I couldn't be happier with the company it attracts into my life!
I hear you, we are a minority within a minority. I am attempting to change that though. Check out my website.
Glad to have found this particular group. I agree it is difficult to be a Libertarian (as well as a bit of an Objectivist) in some ways, and found Atheist Nexus when I typed in Conservative Constitutionalist Atheists, in the online search. Looking over the many Atheist groups, there are so many seemingly leaning towards a system other than that of a Constitutional Republic (let's just put it that way).
Religion is based on fraud. So by itself religion only directly screws those willing to be screwed.
Fraud doesn't screw only those willing to be screwed.
Otoh t state is based on force. And it can screw anyone w/in range of their guns regardless.
That's why church-state separation is crucial.
The Republicans have a confusing combination of positions. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
There's no reason why limited government, personal responsibility, personal freedom and free market competition, which are often excellent ideas, should have any relation to gay marriage or abortion or climate denialism or putting lots of people in prison or the death penalty or criminalizing recreational drug use.
I really appreciate some aspects of conservatism and find others to be grossly oppressive. I wish there was a Party of Good Sense :) Are the Libertarians that party?
There's certainly a role for government, and I'm not sure to what extreme libertarians take their limited-government position. I guess there are all flavors of libertarianism. I do believe in regulated capitalism, as in prohibiting false advertising and restricting advertising of dangerous substances - for example, the restrictions on cigarette advertising in the USA are an excellent idea.
I find the liberal statists disturbing in how casually they expect people to accept a lot of government interference in their lives. As in Obamacare. If Obamacare is hurting you - and it hurt me - the liberal statists in favor of it have little sympathy. Other people who are hurt by Obamacare have experienced the same.
However, there are many people in the USA who do care about personal freedom and choice.

|Hall of Prophecy
|Location information
Level 9, Department of Mysteries, Ministry of Magic
- "They were there, they had found the place: high as a church and full of nothing but towering shelves covered in small, dusty, glass orbs. They glimmered dully in the light issuing from more candle brackets set at intervals along the shelves. Like those in the circular room behind them, their flames were burning blue. The room was very cold"
- —Description of the Hall of Prophecy from the point of Harry Potter[src]
The Hall of Prophecy, which is entered through the Time Room, is described as a vast, cold chamber with a ceiling as high as a cathedral. It is filled with row upon row of towering shelves. On these shelves are hundreds of small, dusty, glass orbs (Prophecy Records), each with a yellowed and dusty label affixed below[2]. Candle-brackets set at intervals along the shelves hold blue-flame candles.
The row of shelves directly in front of the door from the Time Room is number 53. Number 54 is to the right of that, then 55, and so on. The light is very dim in the Hall. The candles are located on either end of each row, which means that from one end, the far end of each row is lost in darkness. Some of the orbs glow with a faint inner light but others are cold and dark. The Prophecy about Harry was located a short distance down row 97.
Each glass orb that contains a record of a prophecy is labelled with the name of the person who made the prophecy, the person whom the prophecy concerns, and the year the prophecy was made. A few of these prophecies glow a dim, "weird," liquid white from within and are warm to the touch, while others remain "dull and dark as blown light bulbs."[2]
The orbs are also magically protected so that the only people who can lift them off their stand are the Keeper of the Hall of Prophecy, and the subject or subjects of the individual prophecy. Anyone else who attempts to inspect the orb with their hands will be afflicted with instant madness, which is what happened to Broderick Bode when he was forced to attempt to steal one by Death Eaters while under the Imperius Curse.
Known PropheciesEdit
- "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
- —Sybill Trelawney[src]
During the height of the First Wizarding War, Sybill Trelawney made a prophecy predicting the birth of a person who would have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort. Two couples in the Order of the Phoenix had infant sons that fit the description, but Voldemort targeted Harry Potter after learning part of the prophecy's contents from Severus Snape, then one of his Death Eaters. After his return to power, Voldemort sought to learn the entire prophecy, but was thwarted.
- "...and none will come after..."
- —Unknown young woman (from smashed prophecy at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries)[src]
- "...at the Solstice will come anew..."
- —Unknown old, bearded man (from smashed prophecy at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries)[src]
Battle of the Department of MysteriesEdit
In an attempt to obtain the prophecy, Voldemort sent Harry a false vision of his godfather being tortured in the Hall of Prophecy, predicting that Harry would rush to his rescue. Harry did, and was accompanied by five friends and fellow D.A. members: Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, and Luna Lovegood. Once inside the Hall of Prophecy, Harry picked up the orb that had his name on it, and twelve Death Eaters emerged from the shadows, demanding that Harry turn it over. On Harry's signal, all six D.A. members used Reductor Curses. These knocked over the shelves while the students fled and were pursued. At least one Death Eater, Nott, was injured by the collapsing shelves, since he had been stunned by Hermione.
It is possible that as a result, all of the prophecies in the hall were destroyed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ending a three-decade quest, Debbie Long on Monday met the American "kid" soldier who freed her mother from a World War II Nazi concentration camp. She threw her arms around Eldon Ooton, now 90, and sobbed.
Long and Ooton were among the former concentration camp prisoners, their families, and the U.S. soldiers who liberated them gathered at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Monday at what may be one of the last big gatherings of those who survived the Nazi genocide.
"I just met the man who liberated my mother," said Long, wiping away tears after hugging Ooton, the veteran from Effingham, Illinois, still trim enough to fit in his World War II uniform, hung with medals.
"They were just kids, those soldiers," said Long, a Chapel Hill, North Carolina, resident who had been trying since 1984 to find someone from Ooton's unit, the 84th Infantry Division.
Troops from the unit freed the camp at Salzwedel, Germany, where her ill mother was a prisoner, having survived four concentration camps. The GIs then saved her mother's life by taking her to a hospital for treatment, she said.
Ooton, a retired barber and real estate agent, said the Salzwedel prisoners he took to a hospital were "just filthy, half starved. It was very shocking to see those people in the street."
After a hug from Long, he said: "I made my day for coming here. That was worth it all, for her hug and a cry."
The ceremony marking the holocaust museum's 20th anniversary drew about 4,000 people, including some 800 survivors and 130 World War II U.S. veterans who had freed labor camps in 1945.
SURVIVORS, LIBERATORS NOW IN 80s, 90s
Steven Luckert, curator of the museum's permanent exhibitions, said the celebration had more urgency given the advanced age of the former GIs and the survivors of the Nazi campaign to exterminate Jews. Many are in their 80s and 90s.
"The challenge for us is that we're battling the clock. With the age of the survivors and the World War II veterans, this will probably be one of the last major gatherings," he told Reuters.
The ceremony at the museum, one of Washington's top tourist draws, began with the presentation of flags of three dozen U.S. Army divisions that had liberated Nazi camps.
After speeches by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel and former President Bill Clinton, survivors, American veterans and family members ate lunch and chatted at tables labeled with concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Theresienstadt, ghettos like Lodz and Warsaw and regions such as Carpathia and Italy.
Celia Feldman, an 89-year-old survivor of the Auschwitz death camp, said the gathering would be the last that she would attend.
"The next will be (held), but I don't know how many survivors will be alive, or veterans, you know," said Feldman, who lives in Queens, New York.
Now it will be up to her children and grandchildren to keep alive awareness of the Holocaust, said Feldman, who was carrying a copy of her memoir, "Bittersweet Memories."
Luckert, the curator, said the gathering was valuable for giving survivors and veterans the chance to be interviewed and to donate artifacts and documents.

A former personal care assistant pleaded guilty yesterday and was sentenced for defrauding MassHealth of more than $33,600 for services she did not provide.
Ann M. Hudson, 69, formerly of Worcester, pleaded guilty in Central District Court to 12 counts of Medicaid false claims and 12 counts of larceny of property worth more than $250.
Ms. Hudson fraudulently billed MassHealth a dozen times for personal care attendant services, while the member was actually receiving inpatient care in hospitals and nursing homes.
Judge Andrew M. D�Angelo sentenced Ms. Hudson to three years of probation, with conditions that she pay restitution and not work in any environment involving the care of elders or juveniles.
Ms. Hudson billed MassHealth for personal care attendant services for a MassHealth member 12 times when the patient was admitted in a hospital or a nursing home, including during a period when Ms. Hudson vacationed in Florida in 2006 and 2007.
MassHealth is a public health insurance program for low- to medium-income residents of Massachusetts. The national health insurance program called Medicaid and the Children�s Health Insurance Program are combined in one program in Massachusetts called MassHealth.
In addition, Ms. Hudson falsely billed MassHealth for services after Worcester Elder Services, along with Worcester police, had the MassHealth member removed from the home Ms. Hudson shared with him.
Ms. Hudson kept the money received as payment for the falsely billed services. Her violations of state law and Medicaid rules and regulations resulted in MassHealth payments of more than $33,600, which she must now repay in restitution as a result of her sentencing.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Kriss Basil of Attorney General Martha Coakley�s Medicaid Fraud Division, with assistance from MFD investigator Gregoire Ucuz and investigators from the state auditor�s Bureau of Special Investigations and the Boston office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.

Product Description
Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE technology, EA SPORTS UFC brings the action, emotion and intensity inside the Octagon to life in ways that were never before possible.
Unprecedented Fighter Likeness
EA SPORTS UFC will set a new bar for character likeness and emotion in gaming. Every single licensed fighter in the game has been created from high resolution 3D head and body scans to deliver revolutionary character likeness and authenticity. Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE, new facial animation technology delivers more expression, emotion and will communicate greater sense of awareness and intelligence in the Octagon™.
A mixed martial artist's mind is as important as his heart. Every licensed fighter in the game will have changing goals and fight plans, based on their real-life tendencies and each fight situation. Stop their Plan A, and they will adapt to Plan B or C. Down on the scorecards, look for the AI to end the fight with a knockout or a submission. A smarter opponent equals a more challenging and unpredictable fights.
Full Body Deformation
Until now, simulation of physical contact between fighters was limited to bodies that barely made contact with each other; as a result, they looked and behaved like action figures made of plastic rather than elite athletes. The team that revolutionized sports by bringing authentic physics to Fight Night changes the game again with an all-new, full-body deformation system that moves and displaces the fighter's flesh in real time. For the first time, the strength of every submission and power of every strike will truly make an impression
Real-Time Exertion
A UFC bout is one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet requiring martial artists to give it their all with every movement. Real-Time Exertion brings each moment of that action to life in your gameplay experience. Through real-time vein popping, skin discoloration, muscle flex, as well as signs of fatigue setting in through the course of each round, you will witness the effort it takes to be one of the best fighters in the world.
Precision Movement
MMA is a sport of inches, where every step counts and every movement matters. Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE, the Precision Movement locomotion system grounds the fighters, eliminating unrealistic slipping and sliding across the canvas. More realistic physics-driven movement delivers more realistic action as the overall transfer of energy from the ground up delivers more impactful and believable strikes and takedowns.
Strategic Submission Battles
To own the belt, you have to be dominant on your feet and on the mat. EA SPORTS UFC re-invents the ground game to create a battle for position and control that captures the strategy of a submission battle. Like the real sport, in EA SPORTS UFC fighters will work through multiple stages as they work to advance or escape from a fight-ending submission.
Real Damage
Every fighter knows that one good shot can ruin your day. EA SPORTS UFC introduces a non-linear damage system which can result in big damage coming from a single strike. The system produces a greater variety of cuts and contusions that is true-to-life and has never been possible in a simulation fighting game.
Dynamic Striking
A mixed martial artist uses the environment to his advantage and for the first time in a UFC game, you can too. A dynamic environment allows you to pull off jaw-dropping moves using the Octagon, including roundhouse kicks, superman punches and much more. Combine those abilities with the best striking technology in the industry and that one perfect strike could change the fight.

Figure R3 of 47 CFR 73.190 of the Commission's Rules contains a map of the estimated effective ground conductivity in the United States. This data is used to predict the propagation of AM signals across the United States. A higher ground conductivity indicates better AM propagation characteristics. The map shows that the ground conductivity in the U.S. ranges between 0.5 and 30 millimhos (or millisiemens) per meter. The conductivity of seawater is 5,000 millimhos per meter, resulting in the best propagation of AM signals.
Via the zipped file below, you may retrieve scanned map portions of a wall-sized ground conductivity map, which may be printed, trimmed, and assembled into a 43 inch by 69 inch map. There are 48 portions, with map 01w.jpg located in the upper northwest (Washington State). The map portions are scanned for and best printed on 8 1/2 inch by 14 inch paper. (Printing on smaller paper will increase the number of map segments which much be joined.) Together, the 48 map files require 6.8 MB of memory. Separate conductivity maps for Alaska and Hawaii are also included in the zipped file.
Download M3 Map Zipped File (6.8 MB)
The M3 conductivity data is also available as text files. Data for the continental USA is located in the file m3.seq, which also contains updated conductivity data for the Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound that is not shown on the wall map. Data for Hawaii is contained in the file m3hw.seq. Data for the rest of Region 2 (the Western Hemisphere) is contained in the file r2.seq.

Temperatures are returning to normal Sunday, with highs in the mid 80's, and the humidity will be lower.
For about 20 minutes on Saturday, showers in Brooklyn provided a fresh relief from the summer heat.
On the heels of a break in this heat wave, New Yorkers like Brenna Vashisht , who lives on the East Side, are starting to come out of their air conditioned apartments to enjoy more comfortable temperatures.
"It cooled down, and the sun's gone, and it's summer, and I'm enjoying the weather, so I'm still going out," says Vashisht.
However, that doesn't mean it still isn't hot outside.
Susan Rappaport owns Nu-Yu Revolution Fitness Center on the West Side, and she says her clients are flocking to her air conditioned studio.
"People don't want to be doing their exercise outside, because it's terrible outside. It's so hot," says Rappaport.
Isaac Mills makes his living outside as a street musician. He has no choice but to play in the elements – hot or cold.
"When it gets so hot, it's really hard for people to reach in their pocket and get money out," adds Mills.
The break in the heat comes after Con Ed reported a new power usage record Friday as excessive heat sent temperatures soaring to dangerous levels in the New York City area.
The heat index at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City hit 107 degrees at 1 p.m. Friday, the highest mark during the six-day heat wave. Newark reached 100 degrees for the second day in a row, tying a record on Friday set in 1999 and 1977.
Power usage in New York City hit a new record high between 1 and 2 p.m. on Friday, Con Edison said. Usage reached a peak of 13,214 megawatts (MW). The previous all-time peak record was 13,189 MW set on July 22, 2011.
For the most part, the power problems have been kept to a minimum. Con Ed's crews have been working 12-hour shifts to bring power back to customers who have lost power.
The extreme heat is also taking a physical toll. Workers at one New York City McDonald's walked off the job because the air conditioning was broken. Workers say they became physically sick from the heat after the air-conditioning broke down on Friday morning.
McDonald's spokesman Bruce Colley says two of the three air conditioning units in the stores were fixed by late afternoon. Colley says the store has brought in fans and portable air conditioning units. He says McDonald's apologizes for any discomfort the employees experienced.
The Health Department is urging New Yorkers to take precautions to prevent serious illness that can result from the heat, especially among vulnerable individuals, such as seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental disability. If someone you know is unconscious or unresponsive, call 911 immediately.
"Everyone knows heat waves are uncomfortable, but they are also dangerous," said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley. "With each passing day, the risk for heat stroke increases. During this extreme heat, it is important for New Yorkers to check in on vulnerable family, friends, and neighbors, especially if they don't have air conditioning or live alone. Make sure they are staying hydrated and have a cool place to stay."
From 2006 to 2012, more than 100 New Yorkers died from heat, and more than 80 percent of heat-related deaths in recent years occurred in homes without air conditioning. In addition, excessive heat can contribute to many additional deaths for chronic disease, such as heart disease and chronic lung disease. On average, an estimated additional 100 deaths of this type occur per summer from heat waves.

The "diplomatic nightmare" touched off by the arrest in New York of an Indian consular official is all a big mistake, a defense attorney told ABC News even as the prosecutor issued a strongly-worded defense of the arrest.
Devyani Khobragade, her attorney Dan Arshack said, did nothing wrong, is entitled to immunity from prosecution and believes the State Department will make her case disappear before her next court appearance in January.
"From the beginning this was a diplomatic nightmare," Arshack said.
Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Khobragade "clearly tried to evade U.S. law designed to protect from exploitation the domestic employees of diplomats and consular officers."
Khobragade, 39, was accused of submitting falsified documents to obtain a work visa for a nanny, promising to pay $4,500 per month but in reality paying just $573 per month, little more than three dollars an hour.
She faces one count of visa fraud and one count of making a false statement.
Arshack said the Diplomatic Security Service agent who reviewed the visa application misread it. He said the monthly $4,500 is Khobragade's salary. According to the attorney the nanny was to be paid $9.75 per hour. She was paid $3.31 per hour because she had asked the balance be sent directly to relatives in India.
Khobragade was arrested outside her daughter's Manhattan school after she dropped off her daughter for class. Indian officials have complained she was strip-searched and held in a cell with common criminals, procedures in line with the policies of the United States Marshals Service.
The crisis has reached the highest levels of American government. Secretary of State John Kerry has tried to smooth things over by "expressing regret."
"As a father of two daughters about the same age as Devyani Khobragade, the secretary empathizes with the sensitivities we are hearing from India," the State Department said in a statement.
But Bharara gave no indication he would back down.
"One wonders why there is so much outrage about the alleged treatment of the Indian national accused of perpetrating these acts, but precious little outrage about the alleged treatment of the Indian victim and her spouse," he said.
The Indian Embassy issued a statement in response to Bharara's comment saying, "We need to keep in mind the simple fact that there is only one victim in this case. That victim is Devyani Khobragade - a serving Indian Diplomat on mission in the United States."
According to sources familiar with the case the nanny disappeared in June after she told the family she was going shopping. Khobragade tried to file a missing persons report with police. The nanny surfaced in July at the nonprofit Safe Horizons where an attorney asked Khobragade to pay money, let the nanny out of her job and arrange a new visa that would allow her to stay in the country on her own, requests the diplomat refused. Khobragade then called the State Department because the terms of the nanny's visa required her to work as a domestic employee or return to India.
Khobragade was released last week on $250,000 bail. Defense attorney Arshack said she is immune from prosecution.

Upgrading Memory
Don't most BIOS's interrupt the boot sequence when memory config is changed? I haven't changed one recently but IIRC in the past no memory upgrade ever breezed through the boot process without some indication of the change...
Also, unless the documentation indicates that all modules must be identical (I think that was the case with my old RAMBUS Dell system) I would try a 4GB with one or both of the old 2GB's. (I guess it strikes me as slightly odd for a typical user to go from 2x2GB to 4X4GB without a stop at 2X2GB + 2x4GB).
Also FWIW I have a 2011 HP h81160t that came with 2x4GB, and added 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance with no problem whatsoever (although I'm not sure if dual channel is working, or for that matter whether it was working before the upgrade)...
Upgrading Memory
When I changed my RAM inmy old PC it went straight through. I had to actively check that the upgrade was successful. I think that this most often the case but like you my experience is limited and could very well be less than yours.
I think you could try any combination of DIMMs you like, as long as they operated at the same voltage, that's a must else you risk damage. You PC may not work with just any combination though. Many people who call themselves experts say that it is not a good idea to mix different manufacturer's DIMMs. You can often get away with mixing different speeds though you will be limited to a speed operation of the slowest, as long as your computer supports all those speeds. In the example of the p6332it above Crucial guarantee that some of their DDR3-1600MHz DIMMs will work in that machine even though that speed is not mentioned in the HP specification. All those things holding, you should be able to mix different module sizes. I think that even with dual channel architectures. Certainly if you use same speed matched pairs, the sizes in in each pair of slots does not have to be the same to have dual operation. The reason for not mixing manufacturers DIMMs is that different manufacturers DIMMs have slightly different designs and tolerances and thus their eg timings might be slightly off wich on some m/bs is enough to cause dysfunction. Because of such "interactions" between motherboards and RAM, some DIMMs will not work in some in some m/bs. Even given what I have written above, mixing anything might cause the system not to work.
I think that the typical user is constrained mainly by budget. I would go for an upgrade which was effective and has some future proofing built in; these days that often means going straight to the maximum amount of memory supported. You might try every combination to find ones that work; 2x2GB + 1x4GB or 2x2GB + 2x4GB could preserve a degree of dual channel operation, and the latter is amenable to further upgrade to a 4x4GB system with dual channel operation.
I'm unable to comment on your result with your h81160t - before the fact I would have said itmay or may not work if not in Corsairs recommended list.

That's what I meant about 'budgetary constraints', 🙂 It may well be worth taking a chance if it is so cheap you have nothing to lose.

Ok. So you have a problem with just one hyper X, immdiately or shortly after Win 7 loads. Does this happen with just the one DIMM in all the slots ? (four tests needed)
Take one of the hyper X kits (2 matched DIMMs), insert them into the black memory slots. From what you have said I expect that you get a black screen. No HP 'splash screen', no beeps. No hard disk activity. Is this what happens ? What about power light ? fans ? (they will tell us nothing except whether your mainboard is getting power - I suspect that it is). Usually, a problem with memory is characterised by failure to pass the POST and making a definite number of beeps. But this problem is more subtle than that
I fear that these tests will tell me nothing useful, and that Turkleton is right when he says that despite the nominal specs. your hyper X is not compatible with that model of PC/motherboard. l I can only refer you to Kingston who might be able to help
Today i have made a lot of tests. First of all i enabled Boot-time Diagnostic Screen in my BIOS.
1. One hyper X tests on all the slots. Result - blue screen.
And when I insert one hyper X in the first slot I see:
3. With one Hyper X i can open the BIOS Setup utility
4. Then i test 2x4GB (1 kit) in the black and blue memory slots. Result - no beeps, power light is switched on, fans work. And i can see this screen, but the keyboard does not work, so I can not open the BIOS Setup utility.

|This page needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Grand Theft Wiki.
The Epsilon Program is a fictional religious cult that is referred to in a number of Grand Theft Auto games in the 3D Universe, and appear in the HD Universe, prominently Grand Theft Auto V. Led by Cris Formage, the cult first emerged as a teaser site for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and more recently a twitter account for GTA V.
The cult is an obvious scam, intended to gain money by brainwashing its followers into paying large sums of money, parodying real-life cults in the late 20th century. In Formage's own words, it is "a fellowship of like-minded adults who tithe money in exchange for salvation and merit badges".
Epsilonism seems to be a parody of Scientology, which is followed by Hollywood celebrities, and is likely to be a central theme to Vinewood celebrities in GTA V.
Religious beliefs
The main ideals of the Epsilon Program are established on their website. The religions main deity is Kifflom, and members follow his twelve tenets:
- The world is 157 years old, and it doesn't age.
- Dinosaurs are a lie that people believe because they are weak.
- You are happy, you just don't know it.
- We all come from the same tree.
- Everyone is related to everyone else, except for people with red hair.
- Sperm does not exist - it is a lie spread by biology teachers - along with everything else you have ever been told.
- Men are supposed to lie with nine new partners a week. Women are supposed to lie with six, except for in July, when they must lie with five men a day.
- Aliens exist and are present on earth. If you have a birth mark, you may be descended from Kraff, the famous Emperor of the 4th Paradigm.
- Trees talk, but only some people hear them.
- People who believe in something live much longer than atheists, and they have eternal life thrown in for good measure.
- If you believe this and turn you hands and wallet over to EPSILONISM, you'll live a happy life. Otherwise you are doomed.
Their site contains a page about the Tract, which is expected to hold the truth about Epsilon. However, the site states that the tract has not yet been written. There is an address in Grand Canaria to send a cheque to, from which you would supposedly be sent a copy of the Tract. Grand Canaria is well known as a tax haven and offshore location for many dubious companies.
Cris Formage tells us in his wonderful book, It Happened To Us All, that the TRACT will be written when we are all ready. However, Cris is also very clear on another point - although the TRACT has not yet been written, it can still be read by those that are willing to read it.
The cult's founder and leader is Cris Formage. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, he can be heard on the radio arguing with Lazlow Jones and fellow con-artist Darius Fontaine.
The cult attracts many celebrities, including Samantha Muldoon, who famously converted from Buddhism to Kabbalah to Epsilon within one week, and musicians Jezz Torrent and Maccer, who both claim the cult helped them with their drug addictions.
Other followers are listed on the cult website under "testimonials":
The cult is mentioned in small talk by pedestrians in San Andreas; in particular, barbers (excluding Old Reece), and a certain kind of pedestrian commonly found around Verdant Bluffs (identifiable by his rucksack), who claim to be followers.
The Program is mentioned further in Grand Theft Auto IV: Bluesy St. John claims she once ended up spending her Thursday nights in a group that prayed to Kifflom, and the cult sponsors Chiropracticovernight.com.
Brendan Roberts suggests that he is a member of the cult, as noted when he says "Kifflom" at the end of his interview on Intelligent Agenda on Public Liberty Radio.
Possible background
The Epsilon Program is named after the Greek letter E. The name could possibly be in reference to the Epsilon Team, a Greek secret society. In the 1987 film Dragnet two cops are involved in investigating a crime. The crime gang is ran by a reverend, who has a voice similar to Cris Formage's. All members of the gang are in a cult, and perform a number of weird rituals throughout the movie. In certain scenes a quiet background music can be heard, identical to the one on the Epsilon Program website. The movie is shot in Los Angeles and some scenes are shot near the observatory - which is sometimes linked with Epsilon in the game. The short scene from the movie featuring both reverend's voice and the music can be seen here.
The game takes place in the year 1992; as Cris Formage says that the Earth is 157 years old, that would put its creation at 1835. The supposedly-recent creation of the earth as insisted by the program also alludes to the Young Earth creationism beliefs, in which people who believe in it claim that the Earth is much younger than what scientists state.
GTA IV and GTA V Eras
The Epsilon Program also exists in the GTA IV Era. It is referenced on the radio and Internet, and the phrase "kifflom" is heard several times. Brendan Roberts may be a member of the cult. This may be a reference to Tom Cruise's religion being Scientology, as Roberts is speculated to be based on Cruise.
Michael De Santa can optionally take part in a lengthy series of side missions beginning with Seeking the Truth focused on the Epsilon Program.
In July 2012, Rockstar created the EpsilonismToday twitter account. This suggests the cult continues in GTA V, but it's not known whether this will play a major part in the storyline. Recently, the real religion of Scientology has caused controversies in the media, and it's famously practiced by Hollywood stars in LA - so Epsilonism is likely to be a central theme to the celebrity lifestyle in Vinewood.
In December 2012, Rockstar released for sale two t-shirts with the game's logo and a third light-blue one saying "KIFFLOM" on the front and "The tract is not yet written" on the back,[1] thus verifying that it continues in GTA V.
On April 2013, R* released a newswire page about Kifflom, revealing that 'directions' will be provided within one week[2]. A collection of screens showed off the facts of Kifflom, with one showing a Caucasian male dressed in a light-blue attire. The terrain behind it appeared to be in-game footage.
On April 29, R* revealed an application form to enter the "Los Santos Area Enlightenment Seminar". In fact, this is a casting call from R* to cast one lucky fan as one of the five Epsilon members.
Map references
One place, "The Farm. Cult location", is shown on the map provided with GTA San Andreas. The farmhouse windows are glowing blue at night, unlike any other window in the game which glow yellow.
Another place associated with cult is located near The Big Ear. When looked at closely, the pattern of light and dark areas of sand form an image very similar to the one featured on the web-site, and indeed looks like a face of Krant's descendant. There are ghost town and abandoned vehicles nearby, which made the theory that Epsilon is somehow connected to this place even stronger.
There is a house in the desert, which was connected with Epsilon by various people. It is so-called "bunker", which is located west of the abandoned airstrip. The house is interesting, because there are no people or cars nearby - the force of Epsilon is believed to keep them away and only cult members can go closer. The house was featured in famous 4 AM series.
Many people have claimed seeing a yellow entrance triangle in the sky over the Cluckin' Bell take-away in the desert, which is believed to be the entrance to the Puerta Amarilla Valley, which means Yellow Door Valley in Spanish. However, as can be seen from this video all triangles lead to abandoned houses, which supposedly were made to be used in burglary missions, but later were taken out. (Note: There are at least four markers high above the sky in the desert. These are difficult to see during gameplay as they are above the ceiling height limit for aircraft. These markers lead to unused interiors and are thought to be test markers as the names of two of the markers are S1TEST and OFTEST).
The Epsilon website gives players the opportunity to "become one of the children of Kraff" by visiting a particular location:
Join us in something special and become one of the children of Kraff.
Travel through the dawn to the pass pictured in our brochures. Look for a red truck with a dent on the right fender. Raise your left hand and recite the words: "Take me to to my father-father, brother-uncle. Kifflom." We'll do the rest. Because we all know, there is Kifflom and there is Krant, and both be praised.
Blindfold required.
Travel through the dawn to the pass pictured in our brochures.
Dawn means that it has to be morning or an evening. As there are no brochures available, many refer to Rockstar's book for San Andreas. The only picture taken at dawn there is the picture of Sherman dam. Apparently, it fits the idea ideally, as it is a "pass" at the same time - it links two islands. Another proof of possible connection to Epsilon is the official GTA: SA trailer. First few seconds feature red truck (Walton, not Sadler) travelling across the dam. This is seen by some as a possible hint to the solution to Epsilon secret. "Pass" could also mean a valley between hills or mountains.
Look for a red truck with a dent on the right fender.
There are a number of Sadler trucks, found around San Andreas which have been smashed. One of them can be found next to the fisherman's hut north from the abandoned airstrip, another in the forests of Back o' Beyond, there are few more in other places. Picking the one near the airstrip makes more sense, as it is located most closely to the dam. Please note, that Sadlers always spawn in different colours, so you may want to come back again to make sure you have got a red one.
Raise your left hand and recite the words: "Take me to to my father-father, brother-uncle. Kifflom."
CJ can raise his hand, if he is aiming his gun and then looks back. In that case the gun will be pointed upwards and so will be his arm. CJ cannot be made to talk, and so no players have managed to make anything happen, nor gain access to the Puerta Amarilla Valley. Also, when using hand-to-hand combat CJ puts his left arm up when he blocks.
In GTA V, Michael is given the same instructions as part of the Seeking the Truth side mission.
There are a number of rumors, most of which are believed don't have any backup. Some popular myths have originated from jblend's blog where he stated a number of things, the most popular being:
If you see the number one, then you're on your way. Only true believers of Kifflom (praise!!!) can enter the portals. So Keep listening to the trees and I am sure that you'll find your path. If you learn the true meaning of Kifflom (praise him!!!) then you can enter the golden portals of Puertas Amarillas Valley.
Although it is not very plausible, the author claimed to be working for Rockstar, thus making many players looking for number 1 in game or looking for the trees with weird shapes in the woods. It was believed that under certain circumstances you will be able to hear the tree talking; or, once you saw the tree ("number one" in the sequence) everything else will be revealed by the game itself without the need for player's interaction. This is often linked with floating tree, walk-through tree and LOD trees which do not have anything to do with Epsilon.
A noticeable fact is that jblend's statement appeared a few weeks prior to official release of San Andreas on PS2.
Another famous rumor describes what you have to wear (or to do) in order to trigger the mission start.
- Desert Eagle
- Camera
- Cane
- Blue clothes and hat from Didier Sachs
- Blue sneakers from Prolaps
- Night Vision Goggles
- Joke Mask from Binco
- Red Truck (Sadshit)
- Red Haircut
- Cross chain from Didier Sachs
- Cross, R.I.P, and Grave Tattoos (there is only one combined R.I.P. and Grave tatoo in the game though)
- Spend $10,000 at a casino
- Go with 9 prostitutes in a week
The "9 prostitutes" are related to one of the tenets of Epsilon: "Lie with 9 partners a week". In Lazlow's talk show Cris Formage also says: "Lie with 9 partners a week, it explains everything."
Having a cane in weapons slot seems to be based on another Cris's quote: "Touch my cane" which he orders Lazlow to do.
In the teaser video, which can be found on The official GTA SA web-site under Media>Video>First trailer a red Walton can be seen driving across the Sherman Dam. This enforces the speculated theory that the Dam is the pass mentioned on Epsilon web-site and that this is somehow related.
Another Rumor is that of Blueberry Where it also is believed that Epsilon takes place because of
the many blue lights that can been seen at night e.g inside the barns at EasterBoard Farm, at the side of hill on the west side of Blueberry Acres, under the bridge at the south end of Blueberry and the truck terminal also in the south end of Blueberry. The surprising thing about the Red County Truck Terminal is that it is the only place in the whole of San Andreas that has the words red and truck, this could be another reference to the red truck that is mentioned on the Epsilon website .
Door in the Sky
The Yellow door secret is explained in the Epsilon Program article.
The doors in the sky are actually yellow markers that allow you to walk through and end up inside of a building.
The only two yellow markers that are found in the sky are above Cluckin' Bell in the desert. They are far up in the sky and only reachable with cheats or hacks.
Reports say the two doors are only houses that were meant for Robbery Missions. Rockstar hides these interiors for a reason for nobody to find or reach. In San Andreas, Rockstar hides these marks above San Andreas.

A fast-growing wildfire continued to rage into its fourth day Thursday morning, covering at least 30 square miles of the scenic San Jacinto Mountains and prompting more evacuations.
The Mountain Fire destroyed at least six homes after blasting through the San Jacinto Mountains and continued to rage through 19,600 acres Thursday morning, keeping the mandatory evacuations in place for nearby communities. Firefighters reported the blaze was 15 percent contained.
Authorities on Wednesday night ordered the evacuation of Idyllwild and Fern Valley, including nearby National Forest areas and Mt. San Jacinto State Park.
Local news from across Southern California
The Mountain Fire broke out Monday afternoon in steep, rugged terrain on private property just off State Highway 243 near the resort town of Idyllwild (map), over the mountains and southwest of Palm Springs.
By Wednesday evening, winds that drove the fire calmed and but the wildfire still spread topographically, coursing along the rugged terrain and charring dry chaparral and timber, fire officials reported. Winds remained light at about 5 mph while temperatures reached the triple digits.
Heavy smoke spread into the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs area, and a smoke advisory was again issued for the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley, Banning Pass and Coachella Valley by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The agency said ash was falling into the Coachella Valley, and air quality could be unhealthy.
At about 4 p.m. Wednesday, an immediate evacuation order was issued for the Trails End community at the top of Morris Ranch Road (map).
Shortly after 5 p.m., part of Idyllwild east of State Route 243 was evacuated, including Mount San Jacinto State Park, Fern Valley, and all campgrounds, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Bob Poole said. Pine Cove, Mountain Center, Idyllwild West and Poppet Flats were not evacuated, he said.
The California Highway Patrol announced Wednesday evening that State Route 243 was closed Wednesday afternoon from State Route 74 north to 10 Freeway near Banning. State Route 74 was closed from Cranston Station in Hemet to State Route 371.
At least 2,985 firefighters were battling the blaze, along with 228 fire engines, 17 helicopters, 10 fixed-wing aircrafts, 51 hand crews, 21 water-tenders and 15 bulldozers.

The firefight had cost $4 million as of Wednesday morning, according to an incident update provided by the U.S. Forest Service, which manages the San Bernardino National Forest where the Mountain Fire was burning.
Earlier, winds blowing from the west had pushed the fire east over the crest of the San Jacinto Mountains and toward an area south of Palm Springs, officials said. The fire was burning in the steep, rugged terrain covered in dry chaparral and timber in the southern portion of the San Jacinto Wilderness.
"High winds, dry fuels, and steep inaccessible terrain challenged initial attack engines, crews and aircraft all day long," stated the 6 a.m. Wednesday update.
Crews made progress on the north and south flanks of the fire, which had formed two heads and was backing down the south side of the mountain range.
Winds were expected to weaken as the weather changes in coming hours and days, and that should help crews make more gains, the update stated.
Smoke from the fire could be seen some 60 miles to the northeast, across Palm Springs and the Twentynine Palms U.S. Marine Corps training center, a satellite image from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed, as seen at left.
In the Bonita Vista area, the fire destroyed six homes, according to a Tuesday report on InciWeb. At Pine Springs Ranch summer camp and retreat, one commercial building, a workshop, garage, and cabin were destroyed. Eleven outbuildings and several cars were also destroyed by the fire.
Resident Lawrence Goda, who lives on unpaved Bonita Vista Road, said neighbors who had been into the burned, still-evacuated area reported his home was almost completely destroyed. He said it was a log-cabin-style house he had built nearly 30 years ago -- and it was not insured.
"Everything I worked for all my life is probably up in flames," Goda said.
The scenic area -- the San Bernardino National Forest and adjacent Mount San Jacinto State Park -- is a popular destination for hikers, rock climbers and campers. San Jacinto Peak, the second-highest point in Southern California, is about eight miles north-northeast of where the fire began.
"With the heavy fuels we've got and the temperatures we're experiencing, it's making it a very aggressive, hot fire right now," Cal Fire spokesman Scott Visyak told NBC4 on Tuesday.
"There's a disaster area in there. It's devastating. There's several homes lost, there's several homes standing. The fire had just gone through there very aggressively," Visyak said.
Mandatory evacuation orders remained in effect Wednesday for the Andreas Canyon Club (south of Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs), Bonita Vista, Pine Springs, and the Zen Mountain Center off of Apple Canyon Road.
Camp Ronald McDonald, a charity-funded camp for children with cancer, were voluntarily evacuated due to health concerns related to air quality, as was Camp Joe Sherman.
"All campers have been safely evacuated and returned to their parents and the camp grounds remain out of any immediate danger," said Camp Ronald McDonald Executive Director Sarah Orth in a statement.
The Pacific Crest Trail was closed from State Highway 74 to Saddle Junction, as were the South Ridge Trail, Carumba Trail, Spitler Peak Trail, Fobes Trail, and Cedar Springs, according to an online fire incident report.
Hurkey Creek County Camground and all trails out of Hurkey Creek and May Valley were also closed.
Those with day-use or overnight permits for the wilderness area were advised to call the San Jacinto Ranger Station at 909-382-2921.
Highway 243 had reopened by Wednesday morning.
Fire official urged residents to be alert to fire equipment moving on winding local highways, especially during shift changes at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. They also asked people in the area not to block roadways when trying to view the fire or firefighting work.
Evacuation centers were set up at the following locations:
- Hemet High School, 41701 E. Stetson Ave, Hemet;
- Hamilton High School, 57430 Mitchell Road, Anza;
- and small animals can be brought to the San Jacinto Animal Shelter, 581 S. Grand Ave, San Jacinto.
NBC4 reporters Toni Guinyard and Tony Shin contributed to this report.
