I would like to take a moment to thank all of the followers of Victurus Libertas. Thank you for all of your information, all of your help in researching, all of your comments and suggestions. I got part of the following information from a follower of VL on Facebook. It was further verified by an insider and more information has been added by other insiders, as well.
This may blow your mind. Of all the conspiracies the "conspiracy theorists" have come up with in the past several years, they never even came up with anything CLOSE to the reality of what is really going on- worldwide.
From Wikileaks, we have learned that it is very likely John Podesta (Hillary's long time friend and currently her campaign manager) and brother, Tony Podesta, are actively very involved in a child sex ring that is literally world wide. The leaked emails reveal numerous conversations among multiple high up politicians, elites and world figures using code names for "little girls", "young girls", "little boys", "young boys", "people of ethnicity", "sperm" and other disgusting sexual oriented words.
Those things along with many other clues from Wikileaks, NYPD and the FBI point to child sex trafficking- possibly including kidnapping and murdering of children for ritualistic purposes.
Interesting Photo Has Emerged
I know that was a long introduction, but I just wanted to make sure everyone is caught up, and it allowed me to explain how we arrived to this point. I received this picture from a VL follower on FB:
The picture to the left is allegedly involving a child named Madeleine Beth McCann, who has been missing from Portugal since the evening of May 3, 2007, only days after her 4th birthday… and John Podesta, pictured next to the girl, who looks very similar to the progressive pictures the police have released.
Abduction of Madeleine McCann
According to progressive police sketches, the picture to the right is what Madeleine may have looked like in 2013.
According to information online:
Madeleine Beth McCann (born 12 May 2003) disappeared on the evening of 3 May 2007 from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, a resort in the Algarve region of Portugal, sparking what one newspaper called "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history". Her whereabouts remain unknown.
Madeleine was on holiday from the UK with her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, her younger twin siblings, and a group of family friends and their children. She and the twins had been left asleep at 20:30 in the ground-floor apartment, while the McCanns and friends dined in a restaurant 50 metres (160 ft) away. The parents checked on the children throughout the evening, until Madeleine's mother discovered she was missing at 22:00.
Clement Freud's Praia da Luz Mansion
This is the $1 million mansion belonging to Clement Freud, that sits only 1/3 of a mile from where Madeleine was abducted. While searching for their daughter, the McCann's were invited to this house many times by Freud, claiming it would get them out of the glaring media.
Freud reportedly wrote the McCann's a letter, inviting them for lunch at the villa in July 2007:
"I have a house in P da L," he wrote. "Been ashamed of the intrusion into your lives by our media and if you would care to come to lunch/dinner at any time before Wednesday next, do ring and let me know. I cook decent meals."
At one of their visits to the mansion, Mrs. McCann has been quoted as saying: "He gave me one of his looks and a giant glass of brandy, and managed to get a smile out of me with his greeting: 'So Kate, which of the devout Catholic, alcoholic, depressed, nymphomaniac parts is correct?' "
Freud's Kidnappings and Molestations
Freud's mansion's location to where Madeleine was abducted is shown on the map to the right.
Later, at least 3 women began coming out with stories of Freud abusing them. The women Freud molested have horrific stories of physical molestation beginning when they were just 10, 11 and 14 years old.
One of Freud's victims, Vicky Hayes, has claimed Freud groomed her from the age of 14 and at the age of 17, he violently raped her. She said he plied her with champagne and took her virginity. Mrs Hayes gave her horrific account to a local news station, where she recalled being "paralyzed with fear" when the manipulative abuser raped her, then callously advised her to "ring me" if she found out she was pregnant.
She was very alarmed when she realized Freud's connection to the Madeleine case, after she read about it in a book Kate McCann wrote. She reported her concerns to her local police force in Suffolk, and her son wrote to the Metropolitan Police to pass on his mother's account and concerns over Freud's connection to the McCann's. They received no response, according to TheDailyMail.com.
One of the women to accuse Freud, Sylvia Woosley- who claims Freud kidnapped and began molesting her at the tender age of 10 years old, said she "would like to just return to the child I was before I was molested physically". Sylvia was later brought up as his daughter and invited into his marital bed alongside his actress wife, Jill.
Freud later also lured a 14-year-old to his home, got her drunk and molested her in the bathroom, according to one of the women.
A former British ambassador has now revealed he has been approached by several people making further claims of sexual abuse by Clement Freud, amid fears the MP could have sexually abused dozens more children, according to The Independent.
Police in Suffolk have confirmed the now-known Pedaphile, Clement Freud, was out of the country when Madeleine was abducted. However, his home had been loaned to friends of his- John and Tony Podesta.
Police Sketch
Here is a police sketch of Madeleine's abductors:
Do these guys look familiar at all?
John and Tony Podesta?
How about this?
Do you see a resemblance at all to either one?
There is even a matching mole on Tony Podesta and the police sketch, as pointed out in the second picture/sketch.
Confirmed FBI Anon Information
One of our FBI insiders can confirmed the Intelligence community indicates John and Tony Podesta were in Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3rd 2007– the day Madaline McCann vanished.
What are your thoughts? Could this be Madeleine McCann?

The polydamas swallowtail butterfly is fairly uniform in appearance throughout North, Central, and South America, but it does displays considerable variation in the Caribbean, with almost every island featuring its own subspecies.
Polydamas swallowtails are also sometimes referred to as tailless swallowtails or as gold-rim swallowtails, based on the pattern of wing spots on their wings. As rapid flyers the butterflies are difficult to identify in flight, but once seen they are easily distinguished from other similar species. The adults are extremely active and will rapidly beat their wings even when sipping nectar or puddling.
Within their range, polydamas swallowtail butterflies are frequently found in open woods, abandoned fields, and disturbed areas such as construction sites and unpaved parking lots. In Belize, the species tends to avoid the deep forest, but may occasionally be found associated with the rainforest canopy. You will find polydamas swallowtail butterflies, from sea level up to 1,300 meters in elevation, particularly on disturbed slopes, which demonstrates their broad ecological tolerance for precipitation, humidity, and temperature.
The female polydamas swallowtails after mating lay eggs that are covered in a waxy coating - in clusters of 5 to 20 on the exposed new stems of a plant called the Pipevine. Young caterpillars feed on leaves in groups.
The caterpillars have a yellowish body bearing many fine black striations on each segment with yellow and black tubercles. The caterpillars also feature a characteristic that is used to distract potential predators and emit defensive chemicals.
Even though small insular populations of polydamas swallowtail's are threatened, here in Belize the species fairs quite well.

The push for increased pricing transparency in health care over the past decade or so has been a flop, judging from new research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The researchers behind the study called 120 hospitals "posing as a granddaughter seeking information on the price of a primary hip replacement for her 62-year-old grandmother." In 2012, 14.2 percent of hospitals were unable to provide any pricing information. In 2016, the number rose to 44.2 percent.
"We found no evidence of improvement in hospitals' ability to provide price estimates or reductions in the estimated price for [hip replacement] between 2012 and 2016," the researchers write. "Our results provide sobering evidence that substantial efforts from government and industry to improve pricing transparency have had little tangible effect on availability of prices."
In a related JAMA commentary, Anna D. Sinaiko of Harvard's T. H. Chan School of Public Health writes:
"How do we get more traction with price-transparency efforts? One important step will be to broaden price-transparency initiatives to focus on more than just patients. Physicians can be thought of as 'buyers' of health care services on behalf of their patients when ordering tests and procedures, making referrals, or prescribing drugs. Physicians are a trusted source for patients, and efforts should be made to increase physician-patient cost conversations and to improve physician-directed price transparency so that physicians and patients understand tradeoffs and make better decisions about care together. This outcome will not be achieved without also realigning physicians' own incentives so they are rewarded for choosing lower-priced and higher-value care."

There has been a great deal of speculation about FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page leaking to media in their efforts to shape stories conducive to their pro-Clinton/anti-Trump efforts. Prior reporting showed the strong possibility Page and Strzok were leaking to the Wall Street Journal.
"Article is out, but hidden behind paywall so can't read it," Page texted Strzok on Oct. 24, 2016.
"Wsj? Boy that was fast," Strzok texted back, using the initials of the famed financial newspaper. "Should I 'find' it and tell the team?" (link)
Some new information today, and some additional research, and we can not only confirm the prior suspicions outlined by John Solomon (The Hill) – but we also discover the actual Wall Street Journal reporter they were leaking to.
Yesterday Senator Chuck Grassley released a series of text messages between Page and Strzok (full pdf here). Within the release there is a portion of messaging where Lisa Page is identified on the phone with "Devlin" (see page #5 – screen grab below):
[Peter Strzok is 'INBOX' and Lisa Page is "OUTBOX']
It now appears the "Devlin" in question is former Wall Street Journal National Security reporter Devlin Barrett, currently with The Washington Post.
Here's why? On October 28th, 2016 (as above), at the exact time the re-opening of the Clinton investigation hit the media news-cycle, Page and Strzok were texting. From the released messaging we see at 5:19pm Lisa Page is on the phone with "Devlin":
♦Page: 5:19pm "Still on the phone with Devlin. Mike's phone is ON FIRE."
♥Strzok: 5:29pm "You might wanna tell Devlin he should turn on CNN, there's news on."
♦Page: 5:30pm "He knows. He just got handed a note."
♥Strzok: 5:33pm "Ha. He asking about it now?"
♦Page: 5:34pm "Yeah. It was pretty funny. Coming now."
At 5:36pm Devlin Barrett tweets:
Apparently the "per sources" reference is FBI Attorney Lisa Page and FBI Agent Peter Strzok leaking to Wall Street Journal reporter Devlin Barrett.
Looking back upon the released text messages, and comparing them to reporting by Devlin Barrett, another specific article jumps out.
On October 23rd, 2016, Devlin Barrett reported on a scoop:
"Scoop: McAuliffe PAC gave $467,500 to campaign of wife of senior FBI official who oversaw Clinton email probe" (link)
(Tweet Link) and (Story Link)
This October 23rd, 2016, "scoop" aligns with the internal text messaging discussion between Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page who were discussing James Comey's chief-of-staff James Rybicki recommending that FBI Asst. Director Andrew "Andy" McCabe should be recused from the Hillary Clinton investigation.
From the messaging the recusal was discussed mid-through-late October 2016:
00:52am …"if it's a matter similar to those we've been talking about lately"…
It looks like the sourcing for the exclusive report by Devlin Barrett, on the controversy of Andrew McCabe and his financial connections to Clinton/McAuliffe, was again Lisa Page and Peter Strzok; key people within the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
A third likely connection related to the relationship between Strzok, Page and Devlin Barrett comes after Barrett leaves the Wall Street Journal and begins working for The Washington Post.
Barrett's use of Page and Strzok on this story is actually quite odd because the story is about Page and Strzok.
On December 15th, 2017, after the revelations behind the Mueller investigation having to remove Agent Strzok and Attorney Page as a result of the Inspector General outlining their extreme political bias, the couples text messages were immediately part of the story.
One of the Barrett Washington Post stories was about those messages between the couple communicating via phones "that can't be traced".
National security journalist Devlin Barrett wrote a story specifically using "sources" to explain the context of the Page/Strzok message about phones was to hide the affair:
(Twitter Link and WaPo Story Link)
By Devlin Barrett – Two senior FBI officials who texted each other about President Trump and Hillary Clinton relied on work phones to try to hide their romance from a spouse and made the bureau's probe of Clinton's private email server their cover story for being in such close contact, according to people familiar with the matter.
The two officials, senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page and senior counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, are the subjects of an internal investigation that has roiled the FBI and emboldened its Republican critics who have accused the bureau of political bias. Had Page and Strzok used personal phones instead, people close to case say, it's unlikely their text messages would have come to the FBI's attention.
The texts, a trove of which were released by the Justice Department this week, have raised questions about the FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's probe of whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian officials to interfere with the presidential election. Page and Strzok, who have declined to comment, were involved in both. (read more)
In this example there's a really odd dynamic about using the subject of the article as a source of information on the subject of the article. "According to people familiar with the matter", is likely to be Peter Strzok and Lisa Page themselves.
That's perhaps the weirdest example of journalistic ethical juxtaposition in the past few months. Again, "sources say" now appears to be reporter Devlin Barrett writing an article based on direct information from Lisa Page and Peter Strzok who were the subjects of the story. Obviously they would have a vested legal interest in shaping/spinning that story in a very specific direction.
Knowing that DOJ/FBI Attorney Lisa Page and FBI Agent Peter Strzok were key sources for Barrett's stories at the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, you can go through all of his old articles at both publications and clearly identify stories were Strzok and Page were leaking to him.
Lastly, knowing Strzok and Page were key DOJ/FBI investigators on: #1) the Hillary Clinton investigation; #2) the Trump/Russia Counterintelligence Investigation; and, #3) the Robert Mueller investigation; and knowing they were leaking to the media to shape the outcomes of their own investigative narrative in each example; it makes you wonder who else within the DOJ and FBI team was also leaking to the media.
Then again, FBI Director James Comey was doing the same thing.
It seems to be a strange way to run a department that depends on integrity.

BOSTON (AP) — Police and reporters converged on the federal courthouse in Boston on Wednesday amid conflicting reports of whether a suspect was in custody in the marathon bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 170.
Several media outlets reported earlier in the day that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor store between the sites of the two bomb blasts.
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press that a suspect was in custody. The official, who was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation, said the suspect was expected in federal court.
But FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Boston said no arrests had been made.
"Contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack," the FBI said in a statement. "Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting."
The official who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity and stood by the information even after it was disputed. A news briefing was scheduled later Wednesday.
Law enforcement agencies had earlier pleaded for the public to come forward with photos, videos or any information that might help them solve the twin bombings. Police also gathered surveillance video from businesses around the finish line.
The bombs were made from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, investigators and others close to the case said. But the FBI said nobody had claimed responsibility.
Investigators in white jumpsuits had fanned out across the streets, rooftops and awnings around the blast site in search of clues on Wednesday. They combed through debris amid the toppled orange sports drink dispensers, trash cans and sleeves of plastic cups strewn across the street at the marathon's finish line.
President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism. Obama plans to attend an interfaith service Thursday in the victims' honor in Boston.
Scores of victims of the Boston bombing remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries. Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause mayhem. In addition to the 5-year-old child, a 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition.
The trauma surgery chief at Boston Medical Center says most of the injuries his hospital treated after the marathon bombings were to the legs.
"We have a lot of lower extremity injuries, so I think the damage was low to the ground and wasn't up," Dr. Peter Burke said. "The patients who do have head injuries were blown into things or were hit by fragments that went up."

Inter have denied claims they have agreed a €14 million fee with Montpellier for Younes Belhanda.
The attacking midfielder appeared to be on his way to Fenerbahce after agreeing personal terms with the Istanbul giants, before the reigning Ligue 1 champions' president Louis Nicollin suggested he may be heading for Serie A.
"We have reached an agreement with Inter over a transfer fee of €14m," he was quoted as saying by AMKSpor.
"Fenerbahce did not want to pay more than €8m. That's why I have opted to accept Inter's bid instead. Every player has his price, and €8m is not enough for Belhanda."
Inter, however, have moved swiftly to deny the claims.
In a statement released via the club's official website, technical director Marco Branca said: "We don't like contradicting the Montpellier president but Inter have not made an offer for Younes Belhanda."
The San Siro club are in the market for a new midfielder following the departure of Wesley Sneijder to Galatasaray earlier this week.

The Design & Construction of a Traditional DrawerClick Here To Comment/Comments (6) Filed under: Construction, Design
Tags: Drawer, SketchUp
A SketchUp drawing of this drawer can be downloaded by clicking here.
There are many ways to design and construct a drawer. For example you may use plywood for the material and dadoes or nailed butt joints as the primary joinery. On the other extreme is the hand cut dovetailed joinery, floating beveled bottom, and made of hardwood design-and-construction. The latter is the subject of this post. This traditional design has been perfected through the ages and is bullet proof when considering strength and environmental conditions. Provided you follow a few – sometimes not so obvious – design guidelines, this drawer will last for centuries.
I use this design in all my furniture and have no desire to vary from it regardless of the architecture or period of a piece. It can easily accommodate a flush, inset, beaded, lipped or any other style front. It can be used with hardware sliders, wooden inset sliders or simply slide along guides. I can't think of a design criteria this drawer cannot meet. It is always nice to design an original piece or sub assembly; but when the ages have provided you a design that can not be improved, I believe it is time to surrender and use it.
Let's take a quick look at the overall design. Click on the picture at left above to enlarge it. The drawer is a five-sided box. The front and back are joined by the sides using dovetailed joinery. The tails are on the sides and the pins on the front and back. The tails and pins are beveled in such a direction that they resist being pulled apart thus providing a very tight mechanical joint; a snuggly fit dovetailed drawer will make one believe no glue is needed. The bottom slides into the sides in groves and comes to rest at the front where a tongue on the front edge of the bottom seats in a grove in the front. A side benefit of this is that the bottom tends to square up the drawer at the time of glue up. Now let's look at the design in more detail.
The Sides
Still looking at the picture at left above you can see the sides with their tails. Sides and back are usually 1/2″ thick and the front 3/4″ to 7/8″ thick. The sides dovetail into the pins in the back to form a through dovetail. A through dovetail is a joint where the pins and tails are visible on both corners. The sides dovetail into the pins in the front to form a half blind dovetail. A half blind dovetail is a joint where the pins and tails are visible only from the side and not the front. The thicker front provides for the side's tails to protrude into the front 1/2″, locking with its pins, but the pins are faced and disguised by the remaining 1/4″ to 3/8″ material. Not shown in this picture is a grove on the inside face of each side which supports the bottom. Since the thickness of the bottom is 1/2″, like the sides and back, this grove begins 1/2″ up from the bottom edge, is 1/4″ wide and 1/4″ deep. It will be clear later that this will provide a 1/4″ clearance between the bottom side of the bottom and the bottom edge of the sides.
The sides will expand/contract in width. This needs to be compensated for. I have calculated that it will change a total of 7/64″ over the course of a year. Since it is going into a 5″ tall opening, and since May is about the driest time of the year and my material has been in my shop for a very long time, I will cut it to 4 7/8″ wide.
The Back
The back is usually 3/4″ narrower than the side width, allowing for the bottom to extend under it to its back side. Click on picture above right to enlarge it. Note that a side has three tails in the front and three tails in the back. However these sets of tails are not the same width. The front tails are evenly and symmetrically spaced. The back tails are all the same width but biased toward the top of the side. In addition to the three tails there is a 3/4″ square tail on the bottom edge. The reason for this will become obvious later.
The length of the back and front are determined by the opening width. I like to leave 1/32″ to 1/16″ on both sides for clearance. If there were no Cock beading on this draw I would leave 1/32″ on each side or 1/16″ overall making the drawer front length the opening width minus 1/16″. However, because of the extra step of a Cock Bead, and the fact that I can't use my block plane to shave the bead without destroying it's curves, I will leave a total 1/8″ making the drawer front length the opening width minus 1/8″.
The Front
This particular draw design has what is traditionally called Cock Beading around the perimeter of the front. The beading is approximately 3/32″ in radius and hence stands proud of the front surface by 3/32″. The top bead extends to the back face of the drawer front, while the bottom and side beads end at the beginning of the pins. This is done both to maintain the strength of the dovetail joints and to show them off; if you had cut dovetails you want someone to see them!
As mentioned previously the front is usually 3/4″ to 7/8″ thick. It has half blind pins on either end and a grove 1/4″ wide and 1/4″ deep on the inside face. The grove is positioned up from the bottom to align exactly with the groves in the sides. This distance is different on lipped fronts versus inset fronts.
The front will also expand/contract across the width. Like the sides I need to compensate for it. There is also the chance, that because the sides and the front are different material (maple versus birch) that a mis-match in expansion/contraction could cause problems. A quick calculation reveals that they will change the same amount. Therefore I can cut the front to 4 7/8″ as well (before trimming with the Cock Bead).
The length of the front is the same as the length of the back.
The Bottom
The bottom has a taper along each edge. The taper is designed such that the top surface of the bottom just touches the top side of the grove in the sides, and the bottom of the taper touches the bottom inside corner of the grove at just one point. See the picture at left. This single point of contact (actually it is a line if you consider the depth of the bottom) allows the bottom to expand and contract with seasonal humidity and temperature changes without bind, which would likely happen if this were a tongue in a grove. The forces generated by seasonal changes can be quite large, sufficient to break joints or put cracks in a board. Eliminating this potential binding with a taper assures those forces will not be exerted on boards or joints. Making this tapered cut in the shop is a trial-and-error cut. I set my table saw for an 8 degree off normal or 82 degrees. I then creep up on the thickness I want, using scrap wood and testing for good fit after each cut, hoping to avoid the error in trial-and-error. When cut right the taper will seat all the way in the grove, touch the top of the grove and the bottom inside corner, but still slide rather freely.
The bottom has a tongue along its front edge. This tongue seats in a grove on the inside face of the front. This joint is glued so that the bottom is anchored to the front and all expansion/contraction appears at the back as the bottom will alternately extend beyond the back or fall slightly short of the back surface of the back. It is important to know how much this total seasonal change will be and how deep the bottom should be cut at the time of assembly. Suppose for instance that you are building the drawer in May in the Northeast United States. This is just about the driest time of the year. If the stock has been in your shop for some time, it may have reached equilibrium with the surroundings and its moisture content may be low, around 7%. If it has not reached equilibrium it may be high, say 14 – 28%. You need to know the specific moisture content for your situation, and then you need to calculate how much the bottom will expand/contract around its nominal dimension.
I should mention at this point, in case you do not know, wood expands almost entirely in a direction across the grain. It expands negligibly in either the direction of the grain or radially. This is why plainsawn lumber always expands more than quartersawn lumber of the same species.
Let's take the specific example of this draw bottom. The depth of the drawer bottom is 10 1/2″. I measured its moisture content (MC) to be 7% with my Delmhorst J-2000 meter. The drawer is crafted in mid February in Western Massachusetts (USA). The wood species is yellow birch.
Click on the picture at right to enlarge it. This is the output of a program called Wood Movement Master by Kite Hill Software (no longer in business). You can find many such programs on the internet, many for free and many for thirty-ish dollars. It requires a little interpretation. I am calculating a board centric figure, that is, I just want to know how much the board is going to expand or contract. The board is Flatsawn (Plainsawn) and the bottom is made of a two board glue up. (All other things being equal, a glued up board will have less seasonal change than a single board and the more boards the better to a point. I inputted this bottom was constructed from two 5 1/4″ board to create a 10 1/2″ bottom. Note that the results indicate that each board will move a total of 7/64″ over the entire year for a total movement of 7/32″ or nearly 1/4″. Note also that the bottom is currently at its smallest or most shrunk. Therefore I choose to cut the bottom to 10 3/8″ (10 1/2″ – 1/8″) at the time of glue up. It will be 1/8″ short of the back surface of the back, but six months from now it will stick out 1/8″ further than the back. Since the back is 1/2″ thick there is no chance of anything falling out of the drawer when it is shrunk.
There should be plenty of room behind the finished drawer to allow for the bottom to expand out the back. In this case it needs at least 1/8″. Also, the drawer needs stops to keep it from sliding into the opening too far. Do not place the stop behind the drawer bottom or the position of the front when closed will change with the seasons.
In a future post I will discuss how I hand cut half blind and through dovetails.

These pr.icks are tearing down that beautiful building? What greedy asses.
I thought there were posts for the Trinity tower proposal at 68-74 Trinity Place but couldn't find it, so I'm posting this news here ...
The Vestry of Trinity Church today voted to replace its existing 90-year old parish office building at 68-74 Trinity Place with a new structure to be designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, it was announced by the Rev. Dr. James H. Cooper, 17th Rector of Trinity Wall Street ...
The entrance to the residential tower will be from Greenwich Street while the entrance to the church-related space will be located on Trinity Place. Access to the church will be maintained via the existing pedestrian bridge across Trinity Place. The new structure will contain a parish hall, facilities and offices for Trinitys expanding ministry, the Sunday school and rooms for use by community organizations (more than 60 groups currently use 68-74 Trinity Place). Trinity will continue to operate its preschool, presently housed at 68-74 Trinity Place, at a new neighborhood location. It is anticipated that construction of the new structure of 296,000 square feet will begin in the fall of 2014, with completion slated in 2017. Interim relocation plans are being developed to relocate all existing ministry activities and related staff offices housed in 68-74 Trinity Place to a location in close proximity to the church.

These pr.icks are tearing down that beautiful building? What greedy asses.
I can't remember being this angered and upset over an impending demolition. Is there anyone I can write to, at least to express my outrage? LPC?
anyone have a picture of what is getting demolished?
I mean, this: http://goo.gl/maps/nIagC or http://goo.gl/maps/FUkkn
I suspect that appendage behind the building is part of it too. This demo will surely remove it and the additional height will come from a tower on a podium rather than the tshape it is now. This is a very attractive building, and reasonably tall already. It is somewhat curious why it's not just being redone like 20 Pine. They may be something we're missing. Or not.
I heard that they were also considering doing a renovation on the current building. Maybe they were just blowing smoke up everyone's asses. It'll be a damn shame when they demolish the current building. If it got a cleaning it'd look amazing.
I suspect the church sees $$$.
These greedy jerks own half of Manhattan. They should build on an empty lot in Hudson Sq.
Was the existing building ever presented to Landmarks as a candidate for individual designation?
Landmarks would have denied it even if it were.
I haven't commented on here too much, but I must say that if this building is allowed to be demolished, it would be one of the most significant architectural losses the city has seen in decades. This must be stopped!
These greedy bastards obviously forgot what "The Big J-ster" said about money: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's...."

Nestled amid the towers of the world's biggest banks and finance companies, Trinity Wall Street, a relatively diminutive neo-Gothic structure designed by Richard Upjohn in 1846, might seem quaint. But with assets estimated at more than $2 billion (thanks, in large part, to a colonial land donation in 1705), Trinity is right at home with its wealthy neighbors. Though its bank account would be the envy of many parishes, it is generating internal strife since the church must now decide how to best deal with its considerable real estate holdings.
At the moment, the source of this tension is the building code of its 90-year-old administrative office at 68-74 Trinity Place. Faced with a $33 million price tag for building-related work aimed at meeting 2018 code compliance, the church's vestry, or overseeing board, is considering razing the existing structure and building a new, fully-compliant one for an estimated $35 million. As a way to explore this option, it engaged two design firms—COOKFOX Architects and Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects—to carry out conceptual designs.

On July 24, the Vestry of Trinity Church announced it had selected Pelli Clarke Pelli to build a new tower. "We are delighted to be able to engage the extraordinary talents of Pelli Clarke Pelli as we move forward in the design and development process to create an inspiring new mixed-use ministry building that complements Richard Upjohn's historic Trinity Church," Rev. Dr. James H. Cooper, rector of the church, said in a statement. "The new structure will include a six or seven-story base dedicated to mission activities and related offices, topped by a 25-story residential tower. The building will provide a source of revenue so we can begin to prepare for significant expansion of our core ministry activities, which include philanthropic grant-making, homeless outreach, and the program life of one of the city's most diverse congregations."
The church asked other teams to submit designs, but it was COOKFOX and Pelli Clarke Pelli that answered the call. "Our criteria for inviting these architects was that they would be committed to great design, that they had done a number of buildings in New York, and that they would be excited and challenged by the commission," said Linda Hanick, Trinity's vice-president of communications and marketing.
Both schemes included six or seven stories of administrative offices topped by a 25-story residential tower that will pay for the project and help keep the church coffers full. Prior to the announcement, the firms were barred from speaking about the project, but the church released renderings of each design and a video of comments by the architects. Pelli Clarke Pelli's glass-and-steel tower is meant to minimize its impact on the historic site. COOKFOX proposed a stone-and-glass structure with heavily planted outdoor space.
For Hanick, this is an exercise in due diligence. "This is a big decision and we have taken a very careful approach," she said. Some parishioners still need convincing, including Jeremy Bates, who, in February, filed a lawsuit stemming from what he saw as the church's distraction from its core values. A public meeting on June 30, attended by 50 people, provided a venue to comment on the plans and architectural designs. When asked if it had been contentious, Hanick remarked, "it was an exciting opportunity to ask questions."
The CookFox proposal is far more elegant. The Trinity Church elders and others in charge there continue to expose themselves as the worst sort of citizens.

Los Endos worked pretty well for me on the organ. I've used the last few minutes of that at the cathedral before. Always loved His Banksness keyboard work.
As for Yes, well ... with me, anything's fair game (especially their tracks that actually use pipe organ, and there are quite a few). I've had plenty of their charts blazing from gallery pipes before. Saw them (and met them) in Melbourne a few years ago - best show ever. Wakeman is still one of classic rock's best ever players. Agree 1000% with you QFE about the musicianship of those guys, no-one's really come close since (not for my ears anyway).
I'm still happily using my GMedia M-Tron for all those superb sounds, does the job nicely.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) - Police in central Pennsylvania say a woman made up a story about being kidnapped and raped because she was angry at her boyfriend.
Authorities in South Centre Township say they'd been investigating the May 18 report made by 24-year-old Berwick resident Tasha Ann Jenkins. The Press Enterprise reports (http://bit.ly/1b1uGGy ) she said she had been arguing with her boyfriend and that she got out of the car and he drove off.
Police say she called 911 to report she'd been kidnapped and raped by a group of men in a van. But authorities say she eventually told them she wanted to make her boyfriend feel bad for leaving her behind. She's charged with making false statements and making a false report.
It couldn't immediately be determined if Jenkins had an attorney.

The Entrance Pelican Feeding
Central Coast Pelican Feeding
Central Coast Pelican Feeding
Pelican Feeding is the Central Coast's most popular tourist attraction and operates 3.30pm daily, 365 days a year come rain, hail or shine.
The pelican feeding attracts tens of thousands of families back to The Entrance where they get an entertaining and educated commentary about the pelicans, bird and marine life and general information about the area.
Just over twenty years ago, the pelican feeding started by accident when staff from a local fish and chip shop would throw out scraps. It became such a ritual that whenever the staff were late in throwing their scraps out, the pelicans would cross the road and come up to the shop to be fed.
One of the main objectives of the pelican feed is to keep an eye on the pelican's medical conditions as many have hooks and lines tangles up in their gullets, wings and other parts of their body. The feed is a chance for the co-ordinator to assess their well being. It's certainly an amusing show to come and see.
At least 1 or 2 birds a week are removed from the water and sometimes the outcome is bad for the injured birds but most times its just a simple extraction of a hook and they are on their way.
The Entrance has now been internationally recognised as 'The Pelican Capital of Australia' and we want you to be part of it. So when you visit us at The Entrance be sure to wander down to the pelican pavilion on the foreshore for an experience you will treasure.
The Pelican Feed is proudly sponsored by local businesses within and around the Central Coast and if it wasn't for their support and enthusiasm it wouldn't be as successful as it is today.

[Updated May 21, 2014, 5:00 p.m. EDT]
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R) of Georgia, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, announced that he will not seek a third term on Jan. 25, citing "frustration" with Washington gridlock.
Tea party activists in Georgia and beyond had been spoiling for a chance to knock out Senator Chambliss, who is best known for his efforts to work across the aisle with Democrats to find middle ground on issues like curbing deficits and debt. Only 38 percent of likely voters in the GOP primary backed Chambliss, compared with 43 percent who favored a more conservative, unnamed candidate, according to a December poll, although in a hypothetical head-to-head race in which both candidates were named, Chambliss defeated all likely GOP rivals.
"Many people in the tea party movement here in Georgia felt Chambliss was tired and unwilling to fight the difficult battles to control government spending in Washington without increasing our nation's tax burden," said Tea Party Express chairman Amy Kremer in a statement after Chambliss announced his decision not to run for reelection.
But the two leading tea party candidates, US Reps. Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey, both known for provocative statements, fell short in Georgia's May 20 Republican primary. Businessman David Perdue and Rep. Jack Kingston (R) of Georgia, both viewed as establishment Republicans, finished No. 1 and No. 2 and will face each other in a July 22 runoff. Mr. Perdue, the former CEO of Dollar General, won 30.6 percent of the vote; 11-term Congressman Kingston, known for his work on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, finished at 25.8 percent.
The GOP outcome marked a setback for Democrats, who had speculated that the crowded Republican primary would produce a candidate so far to the right as to be unacceptable to general election voters. With Chambliss out of the race, Georgia had been viewed as the No. 1 prospect for a Democratic takeover in the 2014 Senate campaign cycle. The demographics of the state are shifting, with more black and Hispanic voters as well as younger voters in the electorate and likely to support Democrats.
As expected, Democrats rallied behind Michelle Nunn, daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn (D), a popular centrist and, until his vote against the Gulf War, a likely presidential contender. Ms. Nunn, a former CEO of President George H. W. Bush's Points of Light Foundation, is new to politics but recent polls had her either tied with or leading potential GOP opponents.

Raekwon - Penitentiaryrate me
Yo, where them Levi's that I left on ya bunk, nigga?
Don't stand on the side of this bunk no more, man, for real
You see them Rae and Ghost flicks over there, nigga?
Don't touch them shits, nigga
Word up, I'm a break both chains on ya ass, nigga
(Aiyo, Bundy, make sure you crack cell number five, fifteen minutes early)
{Bundy: Yeah, yo, I got you, you want some of these donuts? }
(Nah, I'm good, just make sure you handle my man right, one.)
We up at three mart, blowing, little dust to lift the branch up
The watch she had was Bulgari, golden, Spanish kid let him hold it
He said he hit him with three cartons of menthol, the kid let him roll with it
(The face had snow in it, the bass in his voice
Now he's acting like he ain't rich and po' in it)
Crock pots are steaming, Jasmine rice and Jack Mack
With cornflake batter, it's cold in here
10:45 we lock in, pull out the headphones, jump in the bunk
(The tunes is knocking) Knowing all my goons is clocking
Two C.O.'s is on the cat walk (Yo, Spoons, what's popping?)
Yo, it ain't nothing, baby, you cool?
Yeah, I'm getting that rest, you know that G.E.D. shit with the school?
(True, guess that's what it do
But on the low I got two big gem stars I'm sliding to you
Matter of fact they gon' hide in ya food
All you do is push the grits out the way, then you get up and move
Go to sleep, nigga, go 'head and rest, I'm a finish my count
I'm a set you out, later my dude, one)
Mop wringer magic, mess hall murder's the best
Come through the yard, getting fed lead burgers
Testing anything with bling
Fresh sneakers, we the best teachers
True, watch me move in the cling
Six A.M., the cells unlock
Horn the child, I'm half sleep, yo, hearing the pots
I see the same ice grills, bum niggaz talking to me
With coal in they eye, I can't finish my meal
(Under the grits, two pieces of steel)
Then Spoon had left, we got guns though, we trying to chill
Big Will walked in, him and Seville
(With blood in they eyes, early bird like they ready to kill)

I'm not really competent to say, Dale, other than to point out that Antonio Amorim fairly recently became chairman of APCOR, and told me (in a fully on-the-record interview over dinner) that his primary goal there was to try to get his competitors to clean up their act. I don't think he used those exact terms.
But one thing I'm quite sure of - and I think anyone involved with institutions will understand this - a trade association doesn't generally follow the dictates of a single member, even the largest and most powerful.

I must stay with God. It is God that is keeping me alive! Without God I would not have any reason to be here. I would have left planet earth long ago. I have to watch Suicide and through PTSD levels. When my mind is healing, it comes back to reality! that is not a good thing all at once. My mind is weak. If it gets overloaded it snaps.. if that happens, suicide is a real possibility. I have to be careful and have a balance.
The Indian Girl that died:
The story of the little indian girl? that was dressed up as bride she was eight years old; is still haunting me badly. I believe I saw her picture, her eyes. Poor little kid. No one loved this person; Her future husband age 40, sexed her to death! ripping her insides out on her wedding night. This is to much for me! she is like a sacrifice.
What was life like for her last year. What was it like 5 minutes before she died. How she screamed out for anyone to help her, knowing there were millions of adults everywhere across the planet; and not one cared. Nothing! And this is why I don't want to be here on this planet. The people on this planet are a disgrace! Poor Poor kid! I would have helped her if I could!
So, knowing what I know about this life their is no guarantees for me! I have Dissociative Disorder!
The reason Im still here is God. I worship God and take orders from God! And I have given my life over to God to take care of me. And God wants me to stay, so, I go to my recovery meetings, keep getting better; deal with my story, deal with the truth, and stay. I stay because this holy spirit demands it! And I have chosen to listen. God is my lantern; this keeps me alive!
My life will get better! Not because its better or worse, although its much much better. Im more willing to change my thinking about the situation. Ive worked my way into a new way of thinking. And it will require much much more work for reality to be a working model for personal expression.
In the real world, people are what they are, its a smorgasbord of people! some good, some not so good. You never know what your getting... You can be hurt if you put faith into anyone for any reason. Its very difficult.
In my own circles, at least people know my worth! Out in the world, I mean nothing to people,. At first glance, I mean nothing.
Im not money! so, Im nothing. Im not sure. I think I will study. I studied dating and approaching people. Possibly I will study more on interaction with strangers and what to think of this world and its people.
And I have problems;
I Neg'd a girl at the store the other day. She was poor I think. I ignored her! Then looking back at her I realized she was appreciative and interested. She could have been just like me; destroyed and hopeless and I treated her like she was an object or a dog. I did this out of defense. I did not do this because I wanted to torture her! So, I have much work to do on myself. I truly want to reach out to people that are like me, not clam up around them.
Im still alone. Its very confusing; what is my self worth to others: I will study. My next big project is how to sell myself to others. How to act around others in a way that is attractive and not anti social. Im slowly getting to this place. this will take much learning and practice. I do not want to come of insecure. I just want to be myself; not needy.
Im always alone! It is what it is. Gratitude all day long would help. Im not at that level yet. My mind is hurt and I have much work to do! The PTSD world comes out and dissociate with anything in front of me!

Walter Mignolo
William Hane Wannamaker Distinguished Professor of Romance Studies
Mignolo's research and teaching have been devoted, in the past 30 years, to understanding and unraveling the historical foundation of the modern/colonial world system and imaginary since 1500. In his research, modern/colonial world system and imaginary is tantamount with the historical foundation of Western Civilization and its expansion around the globe. His research stands on four basic premises: a) the there is no world-system before 1500 and the integration of America in the Western Christian (European) imaginary; b) that the world-system generated the idea of "newness" (the New World) and of modernity and c) that there is no modernity without coloniality—coloniality is constitutive no derivative of modernity; d) the modern/colonial imaginary was mounted and maintained on the invention of the Human and Humanity that provided the point of reference for the invention of racism and sexism together with the invention of nature.
Briefly stated, Mignolo's research has been and continues to be devoted to exposing modernity/coloniality as a machine that generates and maintains un-justices and to exploring decolonial ways of delinking from the modernity/coloniality. Because the political dimension of his work, in the past fifteenth years Mignolo's energy has been increasingly devoted to the public sphere working with artists, curators, and with journalists, writing op-eds and giving frequent interviews in English and Spanish, co-organizing and co-teaching Summer Schools in Middelburg, Bremen, and at UNC-Duke. He is also frequently delivering workshops for faculty and graduate students in South and Central America, Asia, and Europe.
Mignolo was awarded the Katherine Singer Kovaks prize (MLA) for The darker side of the renaissance: literacy, territoriality and colonization (1996) and the Frantz Fanon Prize by the Caribbean Philosophical Association for The Idea of Latin America (2006). His work has been translated into German, Italian, French, Swedish, Rumanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Korean. He is an Honorary Research Associate for CISA (Center for Indian Studies in South Africa), Wits University at Johannesburg. Recently, he has joined the Dialogue of Civilizations (DOC) Program Council as a senior adviser and was distinguished with an Honoris Causa degree in the Humanities (Filosofia y Letras) by the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Double discrimination impacts physical and mental health
Racial and sexual minorities, women, and obese people may face more health risks because of their disproportionate exposure to discrimination, according to a new report in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
"Discrimination is broadly understood as unfair treatment on the basis of one's social group membership," said study author Eric Anthony Grollman, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Richmond in Virginia. "All of our important statuses collectively shape our experiences and our health."
Grollman analyzed data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS), whose participants were age 25 to 74, to investigate relationships among multiple disadvantaged statuses and forms of discrimination, along with both mental and physical health.
To assess mental health, respondents were asked to report how often they felt psychological distress in the past month and whether they met the criteria for major depressive disorder in the past year. They were also asked to rate their physical health and about any physical limitations that interfered with everyday living. They were asked how often they experienced major lifetime discrimination in which their livelihood or life opportunities were threatened as well as less severe everyday discrimination and what primary status the discrimination was based on. Finally, they were asked how much such discrimination interfered with their lives.
A person belonging to multiple disadvantaged groups may encounter a "double disadvantage" when he or she is compared to both privileged and singly disadvantaged people, said Grolllman. Adults who are members of more than one of the disadvantaged groups were more like to report experiencing everyday and lifetime major discrimination and view these experiences as stressful. They were also more likely to report poor health than singly disadvantaged or privileged adults. The disparities in physical health are partially explained by the increased number of forms of discrimination multiply disadvantaged people face.
Grollman's work provides one of the first empirical studies to document the link between poor health and multiple forms of discrimination, commented Mathew D. Gayman, Ph.D., and assistant professor in Georgia State University's Department of Sociology. "Historically speaking, research on the health consequences of multiple forms of discrimination relied largely on marginalized social statuses as proxies for discrimination experiences—comparing the well-being of those in one versus two socially disadvantaged groups," said Gayman.
Studies that account for gender and race-ethnic minority statuses as reflecting experiences of discrimination will risk misclassifying people who experience discrimination based on other reasons, added Gayman. "Basing the number and forms of perceived discrimination on the respondents' accounts helps minimize the misclassification of individuals and potentially avoids underestimating the level of discrimination that people experience in everyday life."

My Portal is depressed and I can't get her mood up. She keeps going to run away, but never does. This has happened with 4 other people that I had too delete and I really don't want to happen this time. I'v tried everything and when I use the praising glove, she tells me to stop nagging! Help, anybody? And the other thing is that I can't find someone who defiantly wants kids. All the marriage requests say, not really or no way. I'm completely stuck and I need to start a family...... FAST!
your person will get better in time just dont use the red hand or salty candy AT ALL and dont praise her more than 2 times for one thing for a while. be nice and keep her food levels around 500
it doesnt matter if they dont want kids, there just a little less likely to be sucsesful but not by much so you can really marry who you want
Can someone please tell me how to upgrade a room? I purchased an office upgrade but only received a brush looking item with the number 70 on it. I have no idea what to do with it or house to use it. I have searched and searched online with no luck.
I am using a Thunderbolt so not sure if its because Im playing on my phone and not computer or what....
Thanks for any help!!!
Its weird, 2 yr olds can take showers... and weirder yet, about 4 times ive seen one of my 2 yr olds standing by the stove so I click on them to see what they are doing and it says "Heating up food" I didnt know 2 yr olds could do that and their parents should be ashamed of themselves! letting their 2yr old play with the stove! >:( lol :P
Cutie Pie You have to get the sheds doorknob first, its in the sandbox and then your people will automatically go put it on the shed, once the doorknobs on the shed, drop one of your people on the welcome mat at the front door of the house, they will find a key then go unlock the shed, and about the oven fire i have no idea im trying to figure that out myself
Your family needs sleep. The game keeps the same time as you do, i.e. day and night in the game is the same as it is for you. The best way to let them rest is once they go to sleep at night stop playing the game. If you stay in the game they will keep waking up and they won't get the rest they need.
You can also give them energy by feeding them, letting them rest (like in the hammock), and giving them an energy drink (which is occasionally available in the store).
Lacy -
Please explain in more detail what you are doing to upgrade the room. What are you buying? Where are you buying it?
Raindusk -
The mom holds the baby until they are two, that can take several hours depending upon what speed you are playing the game. Eventually she will drop the baby though.
Julia Rostron -
There is a bug in some of the early versions of the game where the store won't refresh its inventory. Go into the store, then press the "R" key, it should set the store to refresh.
Riona -
As soon as they're done arguing try again and again. It can take several times.
Refreshing Store - I've played both the Android and "try before you buy" versions of the game. On both I was able to refresh the varied items in the store by clicking either the title at the top of the store page, or the "Varied Items" title. I now have the full PC version, and I find refresh doesn't work the same. I can hit the "R" key (after a purchase) and ALL varied items will refresh. Otherwise you just have to wait 4 hours!!!! Does anyone know a way to do the full refresh whenever I want to? Huge difference in game play with this option missing.
FRUSTRATED!!! I really do love this game, I have it on my computer and on my tablet. What I am so frustrated about is getting any kind of help with it. I've gone to the site I purchased it from (gaming site), and I've gone to the developers page, but can find no real support, (other than FAQ which do not apply). Has anyone had luck with getting any support questions asked? If so please respond to Marzen - thanks.
Hi :-) I've enjoyed reading the comments on the site, but try as I may I cannot find any answers to my problem :-/ For several days now the store hasn't refreshed, it's really wierd and I can't seem to figure out what to do. I'm playing the game on my HTC Incredible in Android. I'd be greatful for any sugestions :-)
Hanna: Periodically you will receive email from family members who are no longer actively apart of the game. Once a child goes to college, you won't see them again unless you choose that child to take over the house once a parent has passed away. So to answer your question, it doesn't mean anything. Just a friendly note from child to parent.
Amy -
If a family member is blue, it means they are a little sad, so you need to do things to cheer them up. Give them a dvd to watch or some candy (can be bought in the store), praise them for doing something, or drop them on the exercise equipment (if you have it) or in the pool (ditto). Buying house upgrades (like the large screen TV or the pool) will cheer them up. They will eventually cheer up if you keep at it.
For folks who are weak, make sure they eat, you can give them special fruit from the store or an energy drink to pep them up. Otherwise make sure they get plenty of rest. If you have the hammock drop them in there and let them nap.
So I haven't read to see if anyone has mentioned this yet but if not or Just in case, for those of you who have been sitting and waiting for the varied items to change in the family store, open the store then click at the top where it reads: FAMILY STORE. The varied items will change at random and you can click on it as Many times as you'd like :) also once you've completed fixing the wall and the floors, the paint and the floor stain no longer show up. That's the same with the waterproof tape and as for me it seems to be the same with the sanitary wipe. Hope this helps :)
I've been playing this game for a little over a year now, and for the first time, my adoptee remarried, twice, after his spouse died. Unfortunately, he was with the first wife for 40 years (they had no children), and didn't remarry until he was 60 and wife #2, 62. The second wife died two years later, and he remarried immediately, but again to an older woman,age 63. Naturally they could not have children, but I was hoping an abandoned child would show up on the door step. Never happened and my game ended after seven generations, total upgrades, and over $1,000,000. in the bank!
I had too much time on my hands, so I put together this list of the 15 household upgrades and how the little people interact with them. These are not the workspace upgrades, just the house ones. 70 trophies and counting!
Household Upgrades
Lots of interaction:
Bathroom upgrade: The cheapest and the one they seem to like to most. Once you upgrade they are constantly using the towel warmer and the scales.
Pinball machine: They love this thing. Everyone plays it.
Flat Screen TV: Well duh! They already liked watching TV.
Radio: Fun to catch them rocking out to the tunes.
Paintings: Much to my surprise they are often straightening the paintings or admiring the magic fish painting in the kitchen.
Fish Tank: Feeding the fish, watching the fish, bothering the fish.
Birdhouse: They seem to like feeding the birds and calling the birds.
Forced interaction:
Treadmill: This one surprised me. They'll walk on it if you put them on, otherwise they ignore it.
Patio Furniture: Again, they never seem to spontaneously use this, only if you drop them on it.
Pool: Ditto with the patio furniture. This bugs me, I go to all the expense of buying them the pool the least they could do is enjoy it without me having to throw them in.
Barbecue grill: They'll use it if you drop them on it, and once in a blue moon an event will happen and it is barbecue day. Again, though, what's the use of buying it if they don't use it?
No Interaction:
Air purifier, Box of tools, Sheets and pillows. Sure, they seem happy to get them, and the tools apparently make the repairs last longer, but otherwise they don't seem to do much.

Katy Perry Takes a Picture with a Bride
Plus: More star sightings!
Credit: Lionel Hahn/Abaca
Despite her blue hair, which she hid under a beanie, Katy Perry was flying under the radar during dinner with friends at The Stonehouse inside the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. The single singer was escorted to her table by two men and seemed to be enjoying her food and drinks – as well as her friends' company, an onlooker says. Perry also sported big, thick glasses during dinner – enough of a disguise that a neighboring diner didn't even recognize her. But she didn't go totally unnoticed: At one point, a new bride approached her table and asked to take a picture with the pop star. Perry's answer? Yes.
