When a Cape Kennedy space mission is interrupted by terrorists, Senator Stockwell (John Carter) turns to a massive computer for an analyzed report of which secret agents to trust with the case. The electronic brain suggests the Doll Squad, a crack team of highly trained female spies who are as beautiful as they are deadly. Their leader, Sabrina Kincaid (Francine York), is sent to round up the girls, but there's a mole in the Senator's organization, and the first two agents she contacts are murdered. Intelligence reports reveal that the head of the terrorist operation is Eamon O'Reilly (Michael Ansara), an ex-government agent and Sabrina's former lover. O'Reilly sends a carrier pigeon to the Senator with instructions to send back secret nuclear weapon plans, and threatens national disaster if he refuses. The mole is rooted out and the location of O'Reilly's secret island hideout is discovered, so Sabrina rounds up the rest of the Doll Squad and the ladies charter a boat. Once on shore, the girls are kidnapped, and O'Reilly explains his nefarious plans to Sabrina: He is going to spread bubonic plague across the civilized world and rule what is left with supreme power. But if she so desires, he'll inoculate her with the antidote and she will reign by his side as Queen. The Doll Squad fights back, using an arsenal of secret weapons, plastic explosives, and their own seductive charms to defeat O'Reilly's henchmen and save the world. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

Special Cases Edit
Some keys are special and have magic properties. You can identify them by the animal head where the loop normally would be. If you have one of these magic keys in your possession and you touch a locked door, the door will vanish, but none of your keys will.
Other keys might have no apparent function at all, for example SysRq. Legend has it, the key was designed by Alexander Graham Bell for dread pirate Paula Abdul, who wanted to unlock the Caps lock. Upon failing to use the key successfully, Abdul shrieked in horror when she read the inscription: Nos Feratu (English: "Key error. Press F1 to continue.")
Furthermore, it should be warned, that using a key with a partner, the slightest offset will produce discordance.
Finding Keys Edit
Keys are not always easy to find. Sometimes you can force a key to materialize by killing all the monsters in a room. Also, some stores are willing to trade gems for keys. Which to say, trading gems for one freaking key dates back to the beginnings of the Bible, where people would trade their faith for shit to eat.
Hints Edit
You may run out of keys if you find a key in one cave, but use it to unlock a door in another cave. It's usually best to use keys near where you find them.
Trivia Edit
- Controversially, keys may also be used to lock doors.
- Keys were accidentally invented by Professor Ewart "The Haystack" Hughes in 1608 when he locked himself out of his house one Saturday evening.
- The most efficient type of key is called a lockpick.
- Shockingly, toy keys are now required to be larger than regular housekeys, and made out of plastic, due to toddlers inserting them in open electrical outlets.

Parents Charged After Child Found in 'Putrid' Home
MAPLEWOOD (AP) - The parents of a toddler have been charged with child neglect after Maplewood police say they found them highly intoxicated and their house uninhabitable.
Police were called to the house by the landlord Monday. Officers say the smell inside was so overwhelming they had trouble breathing. A criminal complaint filed Wednesday says police found garbage, rotting food and dirty diapers strewn about the house.
The complaint says 23-year-old Rebecca Koecher was found passed out and "almost lying atop" of her 22-month-old son. It says the child's 27-year-old father, Clayton Johnson, was also found to be highly intoxicated.
The parents were taken to a detox center and the boy to Children's Hospital in St. Paul.

This weekend, many noticed something curious: some Halo titles were listed in the Steam registry. Some assumed this meant that these titles were coming to Steam. According to a Microsoft spokesperson, that's not the case.
If true, then Microsoft lost what little respect I had from them (which was very little, but still)..
I'm not surprised, Half Life completely overshadows this game in quality.
Source engine 2 announcement to stomp the consoles please ;)
Why would MS let Halo on Steam? Isn't there a Steambox coming out? It would be stupid of MS to have their flagship title on a rival console. I mean that the way I look at it.

As the holiday season approaches, as does the time for the NHL to take their game outdoors. That means all sorts of new uniforms are to be worn by the participating teams. Quite often those new uniforms are of the vintage variety and that vintage look is something that serves to be quite popular amongst fans.
Unfortunately, most players are unable to snag a pair of gloves or some of the other special edition equipment worn by the players and goalies during the Winter or Heritage Classic. Unless you're willing to shell out major dough on eBay for game worn items, players are typically stuck enjoying the unique gear on television. But that's no longer the case.
Great Skate is carrying a handful of special edition items this season that offer you an exclusive product much like what will be seen on the ice during the NHL's outdoor games.
Bauer is offering two separate models of their Supreme TotalOne NXG stick in a vintage finish that's quite reminiscent of a traditional wood stick. The primary finish is a natural or "vintage white" base with a very traditionally inspired graphic to finish the look. The sticks come in either a blue and red or black and red pattern, with the black and red being ever so slightly more modern due to the lack of the natural finish from the hosel up towards the middle of the stick.
The Vintage TotalOne NXG shares all of the features and benefits of the basic NXG with three different curve patterns available. The blue and red looks particularly good as the vintage white finish really makes the stick pop with the traditional design.
To complement the traditional NXG, Great Skate is also offering a unique, limited edition Warrior Bonafide X glove in a Winter Classic inspired design for Detroit and Toronto's appearance in the Winter Classic this season.
The glove is a basic Bonafide X four-roll build with nothing but nylon as the outer finish. It has the look and feel of a pro glove and the addition of the lightweight nylon adds to that. Both the Toronto and Detroit color ways are just a basic blue and red, respectively. There are no additional stripes or graphics to dress these gloves up. Only the white (vintage white for the Detroit gloves) Warrior logo on the cuff and a custom Detroit and Toronto inscription where a player's name would go on a pro model.
The Bonafide glove is a great model that shares a number of traits with Warrior's flagship, the Franchise. It's a popular model due to the responsiveness and pro look that appeals to a number of players. Adding the basic, vintage look to this popular model makes the Winter Classic Limited Edition gloves that much more of a hot ticket.
Pairing the Bonafide X Winter Classic gloves with one of Bauer's TotalOne NXG Vintage sticks would give you a great, throwback inspired set up for this season.

Two major events showcasing Brazilian and Lusophone history and culture are taking place at Indiana University-Bloomington during the Spring 2012 semester.
The "Cinema Maldito" Film Series runs February 23-24 at the Indiana University Cinema. The marginal, or underground, film movement was a vibrant example of the independent, auteur cinema that emerged in Brazil in the late 1960s. The series was programmed by Richard Peña, director of the New York Film Festival. For programming, go to the Indiana University Cinema site: http://www.cinema.indiana.edu/?post_type=series&p=2125)
The "Portuguese-Speaking Diaspora" exhibition at the Lilly Library was curated by Professor Darlene Sadlier, Director of the Portuguese Program in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. The current exhibition features rare and first editions of canonical works of Brazilian and Portuguese history and literature, the majority belonging to the Lilly's Charles R. Boxer collection. João de Barros' Asia (1552), Padre António Vieira's Sermam (1646), and the first edition of Garcia de Orta's Colóquio (1563), which includes the first-ever published poem by Luís de Camões, are a few of the Lusophone treasures on display. The exhibit covers work representing the broad boundaries of the Lusophone world from Brazil to Africa to East Asia.
In 1972, the Lilly Library published a catalog of Brasiliana to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Brazilian independence. The original catalog of this exhibition, Brazil from Discovery to Independence, was prepared by Professor Emeritus Heitor Martins, who served as Chair of Indiana University's Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the time. A digital version of this out-of-print publication, plus a supplement prepared by Professor Sadlier, is now available online at http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/etexts/brazil/index.php.
The 'Portuguese-Speaking Diaspora' exhibition runs through April 30, 2012. For more information, please visit http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/exhibits.shtml.

The Labor Department added additional staff on Monday to its Telephone Claims Centers (TCC) in upstate New York to respond to a higher volume of calls. In addition, TCC hours have been extended from its original schedule and new technology was implemented to limit the need to speak with a call center agent.
"In government, especially in times of financial crisis, we are often asked to do more with less," said State Labor Commissioner M. Patricia Smith. "Our staff is doing work of the highest caliber on behalf of workers, and I can't thank them enough for all they are doing during these uncertain times. We have listened to workers; we have heard their frustrations, and we are doing everything in our power to help them during their time of need."
These measures come at a time when the current job market looks bleak for those that are unemployed. The national unemployment rate stands at 6.7 percent with 533,000 jobs lost in November, the highest rate increase in 15 years according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
With New York's unemployment rate at 5.7 percent and expected to rise, unemployment claims have skyrocketed by 59 percent from 58,000 last year to 92,000 this year.
The state has paid close to $500 million in Extended Unemployment Compensation (EUC) to over 154,000 individuals since it was enacted in July. President Bush signed a second extension on November 21, which provides New Yorkers with seven additional weeks of benefits just in time for the holiday season.
The Labor Department has committed $10 million in discretionary federal funds to the state, with $4 million slated for New York City to make the necessary improvements.
"We are fully aware of the fears that many New Yorkers are experiencing in this economic crisis, especially as the holidays come nearer," said Smith. "These unprecedented times call for creative solutions, and we are using every means at our disposal to make certain that workers needs are being completely addressed."

Moyers & Company "What's Fueling The Modern Abortion Debate?" This year marks the 40th anniversary of Roe V. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that overturned many federal and state restrictions on a woman's right to an abortion. But while polls show that most Americans support the decision, and that a majority -- for the first time -- believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, anti-abortion forces show no sign of relenting. A study by the Guttmacher Institute reported that state legislatures passed 92 provisions restricting a woman's access to reproductive health care in 2011 -- a number four times higher than the previous year.

Artikel: Businessman and Fisherman
What do you really hope to achieve in life? Read this story and you may find that what you are always hoping to achieve, you may be already have it.
There was once an American businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small Mexican village. As he sat, he saw a Mexican fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore and noticed that the fisherman has caught a quite number of big fishes that is known to be a delicacy.
The American was really impressed and ask the fisherman, "How long does it take you to catch so many fishes?"
The fisherman reply; "Oh, just a short while."
"Then why don't you stay longer at sea and you could catch even more? The businessman was astonished.
The fisherman simply does not agree, "This is enough to feed my whole family?" he says.
The businessman then asked: "So, what do you do for the rest of the day then?"
The fisherman reply; "Well, I usually wake up early in the morning, go out to sea and catch a few fishes, then I would go back and play with my kids. In the afternoon, I will take a nap with my wife, and evening comes, I will join my buddies in the village for a drink, we played guitar, sing and dance throughout the night. My day was ever so complete and carefree."
The businessman does not agree with his way of life and offered a suggestion to the fisherman.
"I am a PhD holder graduated from Harvard University, specialises in business management. I could help you to become a more successful person. From now on, you have to spend more time
at sea and try to catch as many fishes as possible. And when you have save enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more fishes. As you go on, you will be able to afford to buy more boats, recruit more fishermen and lead a team of your own. Soon you will be able to set-up your own company, your very own production plant for canned food and do direct selling to your distributors.At that time, you will have moved out of this village and to Mexico city, and then expand your operation to LA, and finally to New York city, where you can set-up your HQ to manage all your other branches."
The fisherman asks, "So, how long would that take? "
The businessman reply: "About 15 to 20 years"
The fisherman continued, "And after that?"
The businessman laugh heartily, "After that, you can live like a king in your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float your shares in the Stock Exchange, by then
you will be rich, your income will be coming in by the millions!!"
The fisherman ask, "And after that?"
The businessman says "After that, you can finally retire, you can move to a house by the fishing village, wake up early in the morning and catch a few fishes, then return home to play with
the kids, have a nice afternoon nap with your wife, and when evening comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!! "
The fisherman was puzzled, "Isn't that what I am doing now??"
So, what does one really hope to achieve in life, do we really need to work so hard in life ? What do you hope to accomplish in the end ?
firul says
" got this from a friend posting on Friendster. inspiring, rite?!"

There are so many shows on my list that I would like to watch/finish/get started with: Log Horizon, Oreimo, Strike the Blood, Bleach, Golden Time, Ef: A Tale of Melodies, Code Geass, Raxephon, etc, etc, the list goes on forever.
However, with college and my other hobbies/activities, I feel like I will never be able to watch them all. Does anyone else feel this way?
CURRENTLY WATCHING: Nothing
Count me in! I feel like that all the time. I have school,socer, and family so anime time is always limited
im even more unwanted than the first slice of bread in the bread load
ahhh youth
time to go down range
not really. but I have a lot of free time. it's also easy to keep up with currently airing anime because it's easy to watch only a few episodes a day instead of trying to marathon an entire series at a time.
it's also best to cut out extremely long shows, like Bleach.
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
I am watching 31 simulcast series and working full time but I manage to watch them all, mostly on the day they come out, otherwise the day after or at worst the same week. If I don't watch them for a week they are in real danger of being dropped.
I also rewatch old series and marathon old series I discover.
Sleep is what I don't have enough of...
I know what you mean, i got school, assignments and boxing!
Throw me a inbox or just a random chat! :)
I made my list of anime to watch, and its over 53 series. Not including simulcasts.
Not to mention I have quarter finals coming up.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Watching anime does not come without sacrifices.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Story of my life lol
*insanity is contagious*
Yep, that's one of the reasons I'm not really watching any simulcasts this Fall, aside from continuing Simulcasts from the summer, which for me, is only RWBY. I have 21 shows still on my to-watch list, and I'm hoping to narrow that down to maybe 17 or so by the end of this year. That said, I still may start one or 2 shows from the Fall, but I'm just kinda looking what people are talking about before I decide to jump onto any of them. Little Busters, though, has my attention (but I still need to watch the 1st season of it, lol)! XD
I'm right there with you!!! Although, right now I have absolutely nothing to do (except physical therapy and sometimes Taekwondo) because I tore my ACL doing Taekwondo, so I stayed home this semester from college to get the surgery and now I'm recovering by going to physical therapy three times a week. I literally just sit around the house lol, so I waste my time watching anime, both seasonal and series that have already completed airing.
However, normally I would have a hard time watching a lot of anime because of college, my sorority activities (which take up a LOT more time than my schoolwork lol ^^"), my activities in both the art club and medieval club, my job and/or workstudy, etc. I never get to watch a lot of anime on a normal basis ^^"
Its more of gaming and sports that my time has. Sports has 2 hours every weekday and then 3 for games. Then comes events for the sports and that can be like 3+ hours and then with gaming Pokemon X delayed all the season anime I have to watch.
My Plan to Watch List is 50.
the best way to finish anime is 12 episodes per day.
I`m leaving Crunchyroll today.

This is the method I use to stay on top of new series, especially this season. For clearing anything backlogged, I have to plan carefully.
As long as there is a Jojo in the world, anime shall never die.
I'm watching quite a lot this season including a handful not here on CR. Eh, I guess time management is the key here but time flies fast if you're having fun.

The handsome and strikingPaddy O'Brian is the man and the legendary cock on the receiving end of Levi's talents.You can tell by the repetitive involuntary clenching of his buttocks and flexing of his thighsthat the oral magic being worked on his cock and balls by Levi is sensational. Levi's oralskills are world-class and he positions himself perfectly to take every long and wide inch ofPaddy's tool. Every now and then you will see his tongue snake out and add a lap or stroke.It's so intense, Paddy must have been challenged to turn Levi end-for-end, to see if his holeoffered the same thrills. It does, and three positions of deep penetration serve to bringdroplets of sweat coursing down Paddy's brow and hairy chest as a precursor to the hot, wetloads they both release.

Wooly buggers
Tip of the day
The first Wooly Buggers had "shortish" tails.
If you want to improve the effectiveness of your Wooly Buggers, extend the tail.
Make your tail 60% of the overall length of the fly, the body the remaining 40%. You Wooly Bugger will have a lot more movement, a lot more action and will catch a lot more fish.
PS: keep the body thin, as well.

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita announces complaint filed by his Indiana Securities Division in investigation of Chrysler's bond purchase agreement with Tipton County
(Indianapolis) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita announced today that an investigation by his Indiana Securities Division has resulted in the filing of an administrative complaint and allegations of Indiana Securities Act violations against Chrysler, LLC. The complaint, which is attached to this release, details the events surrounding a Bond Purchase Agreement between Chrysler, Getrag Transmission Manufacturing, and Tipton County.
"Indiana has a long automotive manufacturing heritage, and we need to preserve it," said Secretary Rokita. "But we also need to ensure a level playing field within all industries, and that includes protecting victims whether they are individuals or groups like the taxpayers in Tipton County."
According to the complaint, in September of 2008, millions of dollars in bonds were issued by Tipton County to finance infrastructure improvements necessary to support a new transmission plant owned and operated by Getrag. The day after the bonds were issued, Chrysler disclosed it could not make guarantees to Getrag necessary for the German company to secure funding for the project. In November of 2008, Getrag filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The complaint alleges that Chrysler committed civil securities fraud by failing to inform Tipton County of the lack of a complete agreement between Chrysler and Getrag in their joint venture to build the dual clutch transmission plant.
The complaint is filed with the Indiana Securities Commissioner and could result in a fine and/or an order of restitution to Tipton County, possibly totaling several million dollars.

Interesting post as usual, but I agree about the last shot, from your balcony.ReplyDelete
What a great pile of shapes and analogous colors.
The bones for a beautiful almost abstract watercolor, Carol.
I say do it!Replies
I never even considered painting the view...
I'm working on Ze Book full stop.
You come here and paint it!

You're lucky to have an lift to the 6th. Have you seen the film with Luchini, 'Les femmes du 6ème étage"? C'est un MUST!ReplyDelete
OMG, so glad didn't go to the salon this time around. I'm surprised you even managed to get in to that Stroumpf packet! A demain... xoReplies
Really the crowds were managable and polite. Well almost everyone was reading something or other.Delete
They were very engrossed. You could touch all the books, read them, photograph them(!).
No one asked me to stop shooting.
And no one was pushing you to buy either, though many bought me included.
Altogether the Salon was a lovely experience.
Great post Carol. Loved to see so many young children at the Salon du Livre! Reading is great skill to develop at an early age, and a visit to such a fun place, is sure to encourage the love of reading chez les petits! Happy you are having fun with Bear. Bonne visite!

Fantastic view from your 6th floor! My French teacher said French parents tell children , "soit sage" instead of our , "Be good."ReplyDeleteReplies
That's a line right out of Bringing Up Bebe!!Delete
and these kids were calm.
I did not see or hear ONE screaming kid among the thousands.
And they were not walking around stuffing their little faces with snacks.
Food/drink, like at all conventions, was overpriced.
I refuse to pay $5 for a bottle of water.
I'd rather faint.
i.e. the Haribo snacks came in handy BIG TIME!
Carol, it looks like you're having a blast with all the wonderful LIVRES! I have a new one for you...out next month...."French Kids Eat Everything" by Karen Le Billon. I can't wait to eat, I mean READ this one!ReplyDeleteReplies

I have only discovered your blog just a few weeks ago and am enjoying it immensely!! Not only your amusing and pleasurable posts about Paris but your lovely artwork as well. I'm so glad that you are there having a wonderful time in Paris. I will be there at the end of May and I'm going to take a tip from you and start climbing stairs in preparation! Have a wonderful rest of your trip and am looking forward to your future posts. -Victoria in Los AngelesReplyDelete

Darn cold too-I am wearing layers and bought a cardi at Monop this evening.
With all that time and talk I did not prepare weather-wise it seems!!
A fun post again Carol....love those Haribo gummies....can't wait to see more of the Bobo 11th arrondissement. Really liked that Dictionary of Naughtiness! Very cute!ReplyDelete
OK when did you get back to paris? You were in London on last post..Oh yes.. I can see why people paint rooftops its a lovely view. and what book are you working on full stop. Are you doing a book or just reading one?ReplyDelete
Siiiigh... you just made me so very wistful. (I hope you're having a ball!)ReplyDelete

Arctic Myths - Grizzly People
It was decided that we should have a Grizzly Being on the title page of the book we're just finishing up and so this first illustration shows just such a one, menacing and striding toward us, having just decided we are something worth adding to the menu.. He is big and rather misshapen and carries a large Inuit spear, which is just as likely to be used for digging as it is for hunting. I like to depict these fellows with bags or satchels because they are scavengers and I can imagine them traveling about with bits of old meat, bone and other edibles picked up on previous foraging operations.
In this second illustration we see a Grizzly Man with a fresh body he has just pulled from a grave. He is scruffy and dirty which is typical for them and much in need of the bath he will never ever have and the dentist he will never ever visit. These pictures are for a new collection of Arctic stories from Inhabit Media entitled The Shadows That Rush Past, A Collection of Frightening Inuit Folktales. These stories are historically the kinds of stories told to children in order to teach them survival lessons and this book is for children also - Inuit children. There are plans to release these books in English but as far as I know not many of them have yet been translated.
You can find out more about Inhabit Media here - http://www.inhabitmedia.com/
I'll have more for you shortly

I really love seeing mythology which isn't the usual sort. Nice job - I especially like the shambling gait on the first one; I've seen grizzlies in the wild and you've got that sort of pigeon-toed walk down in the first painting. Thanks so much for the link, going to peruse it!

O.D. - I completely agree. One of the aspects of this project that intrigued me the most was the fact that many of these tales have not really been illustrated before. There's no reference to check. We're deciding how these characters are going to look and that is very exciting.

These are gorgeous, I love your work with non-european mythology. I've heard of some of these stories before, but never seen illustrations for them, it's really exciting to see such detailed pictures!
I hope the books can be published in English too, I feel like there's a tragic dearth of stories from other cultures in the English-speaking market. I'd definitely buy it.

Hi Sarah - Thanks so much. I agree - the Inuit mythology is very exciting and for us, "English speakers", still quite new. There are many stories and mythic creatures and we have just scratched the surface. There is a lot more to come.

Great artwork!
On the 'scarry tales as means of teaching children': I quite support that - and Terry Pratchett in his book, the Folklore of Discworld (together with Jacqueline Simpson), they elaborate just on such thought: how the elves and fairies used to be scarry creatures that took children away, if they weren't carefull and strayed into the forest ... much like the Grizzly Beings ..
Would like to get my hands on that book, I would!

'Brixx' to replace Boston Market
Virginia's first Brixx Wood Fired Pizza restaurant, a small Charlotte, North Carolina-based franchise, will be taking over the Boston Market space in the Barracks Road Shopping Center. Brixx (not to be confused with Brix Terrace Caf©) president Neil Newcomb says construction should begin at the end of the month and he hopes to be open "before August."
While they serve sandwiches, pastas, and salads, Newcomb says Brixx mostly sells one-size pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven.
"We use high-end ingredients," he says, "but nothing on our menu is over $10."
Another thing that distinguishes Brixx? Twenty-four craft-brewed beers on tap and 14 wines by the glass, many of them local. In fact, Starr Hill Brewery's offerings are already on the line-up in their 18 other restaurants.
This new arrival to Charlottesville is unrelated to Brix Terrace Caf©, a California-cuisine bistro with a long history in town that's now located at Pantops Shopping Center.

GBSO-I know a lot of cops eat at the Arby's because of discounts. Am I wrong, wasn't this the restaurant where they were finally able to get a DNA sample for the serial rapist after he was spotted at Harris Teeter working at the meat counter by one of his victims? If I remember correctly, whether Arby's or not, his eating habits were known and cops staked out the restaurant and were able to retrieve a cup he had used after he discarded it in the trash.
Lets see. We have a Brix. Then we replaced bricks with bricks downtown. Now we are getting a Brixx. Next they will probable replace Ultimate Bliss with BriXXX where you can buy movies with women built like a brickhouse! What would Stonewall Jackson say?
Can't believe nobody noticed the Carving Board sold. Or maybe I missed it. Either way, it seems like all the tricks got taught to the new owner, because it's still outstanding.
I enjoy cafeteria food, like K&W, but I am probably the only one.............I miss La Hacienda and El Cabrito's, I haven't been able to find Mexican food like that anywhere. The owners retired, and didn't want anyone else to run the business, too bad.
While I agree it really sucks for Rise, as a Charlottesville native who spent 6 years in Charlotte,NC I confess I am very excited for Brixx. Their food is great, their prices are low, the local servers and bartenders who work there will make great money. They have expanded a lot over the past few years but it's a result of an excellent product that is different then any pizza we have in Charlottesville (they really do use a brick oven FYI). Every time I took a friend out to eat there, they left saying they wished we had one in Charlottesville. And who knows perhaps they will source their products locally when possible, stranger things have happened.
Oh yeah, the Caravan. Home of the Humpburger. Come in on a Wednesday when it's raining, and the Humpburger is free ! I was a kid, but wasn't it located where the Hydraulic Rd/Emmet St. Kroger is now??
No. The Caravan was in the building just north and next to the Golden Corral. It was a car dealership (R M Davis) at one time. Then Brown Auto had it for a while. And now it is some type of tractor supply.
The Ridge Drive In theatre was where Kroget is now. And above it facing Emmett Street was a Texaco station. Back during the oil embargo and shortages in 1973 the owner (T I Gilbert) gave me a key to the Texaco station and let me get as much gas as I wanted anytime I wanted.
boooo, your problem is that you're comparing in-n-out & boston market to homemade food, which no one else is doing. duh it's not as good. but compare it to other fast food, & it's divine.
imo, in-n-out >>>>>> 5 guys because they have milkshakes. which 5 guys is seriously missing.
i'm sure the landlord was real worried about rise pizzaworks when they made this deal. the owner of barracks road, federal realty, has no regard for their local tenants who put their life on the line to open up businesses in their center only to watch the landlord bring in direct competitors.
They out their life on the line? Like they might die? WTF?
Wow! Another Kenny Burger fan. I thought I was the only one left alive! I'd give $50 right now for two of their cheeseburgers with the special sauce, an order of their fries and a chocolate milk shake! :)
Si no mas brunch at Mono Loco. It will return again this summer I believe, but has been off the schedule for sometime. Dinner only at ML these days.
I think in and out are all family owned, not available for franchising. I've been and enjoyed it, better than mcdonalds, not as good as the riverside, martin's grill or five guys. I don't really consider superstars the same as Barracks Road, it was across the street and is now a payday or car loan establishment.
I understand Papa Murphy's might come to town, mid west chain of take and bake pizza joints (ala superstars)I had never heard of them before the other day. Anybody ever got a pie from there?
I'd also like to see a Romano's Macaroni Grill and a Rudy's BBQ, but that's asking too much from this two bit town.
Litte Nicky would like a Popeye's.
We need a Whataburger and then a Popeye's.
I love Rise Pizza - so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The great thing about this is all of you have a choice. A choice to b#$(#, piss and moan about it and a choice to ultimately not go to the location. However, most of these are pre-judgments without knowledge. The Brixx locations themselves (which I have visited in NC) have good food, but better beer choices. Typically 20-30 beer selections. I'm all for good beer, and if I can get a good salad or marginable pizza, then bring it on.
I would like Boston Market to stay and Brixx to go!

A little bit of free advice for Mr Newcomb.... adopt a policy of giving cops free or half price food. They will appreciate it and you will get free security so to speak. :)
(Yes folks, I am being serious! There's nothing wrong with this policy even though I have joked about it in the past in other threads!) :)
it is up to the renter to protect himself from competition.
The landlord justs wants what is best for him.
If you have an older wood-burning appliance, consider upgrading to one of the newer appliances

don't forget red bricks and columns as the official cville architectural design scheme
yeah, she totally solved the case, did her own dna tests and everything.
Lannie, no. One of his rape victims spotted him eating at the Burger King in Barracks Road Shopping Center. She called the police and they retreived the soda cup he was drinking from to do the DNA tests.
If this rape victim had not spotted him in Burger King, he would still be out there brutally raping owmen just like he had done for over a decade already.
The victim solved this serial rape case. It had stumped the police for over a decade.
quote: "yeah, she totally solved the case, did her own dna tests and everything."
No. The Commonwealth of Virginia did the DNA testing. The average female rape victim doesn't have the equipment and knowledge required to perform DNA testing.
Too bad we can't find somebody to resurrect the old Kenny Burger chain restaurants. They had the best crinkle cut fries and burgers in Charlottesville for a very long time. And the special sauce on the burgers was out of this world! My brother and his girlfriend(s) used to hang around the place with all the other guys & girls showing off their new muscle cars there every weekend. And of course - the good, the bad, and the ugly - a lot of street racing was born upon the city streets from this place... it might have had something to do with the place finally closing up. But I sure do miss their food. Waynesboro had one most recently, but that has closed up too now. I guess the secret of the special sauce is hidden away somewhere though.
(For those who don't recall or never knew about this Kenny Burger place, it was located where the current Kentucky Fried Chicken is on Emmett Street)
"Wood Fired Pizza?" LOL
Hmmmm....this gives the impression that they will be stoking a wood stove in the heart of Barracks Road Shopping Center. It's probably gas fired and the tag-line-moniker about wood fired is just more gas of a different sort.
Rob, I do. Was right there beside Seven Eleven on Greenbrier Drive! Barnaby's was good food. The sandwiches and burgers were served up in a basket full of fries and pickles. And they had the square ice cubes about the size of a dime, made the beverages good and cold.
Oh my good another "Chain" in Stepford err C-Ville . The world will end in august .Stock up on high price local stuff!!!
And with all the cops hanging around you wont have to order beer very often! No DUI for you!!
Do I meet my friends at Brix (Pantops) or do I meet them at Brixx (Barracks Road)
I am soooo confused.
Why does Charlottesville need another pizza place??
yeah, pretty sure there was a brixx over in rio hill once that served wood fired pizza and had a good salad bar....could be wrong but sounds familiar
Ah, never mind...confused with the Brick Oven...so many bricks, so many pizzas
At least they have Starr Hill.
It's not so much about it being another restaurant...it's that it's another chain restaurant. Love all the "BUY LOCAL" crapola that is served up in this town, all the while the town lets in more chains to counteract our ability to do so (understanding that it's not really the local consensus to bring in another chain).
Hey Hook, will you do a story about businesses that were denied bringing real jobs to Charlottesville? Where is anyone supposed to work in this town...if they want a "real" job and don't want to manage a retail store? I imagine we're gonna have to move this year because of it. Please FINALLY address the problem with a real solution...don't just tell us about it (we're well aware of it).
you all need to stop all your whining and crying....everyone knows boston market was crap. the food wasn't good and it cost an arm and a leg. what the heck is wrong with pizza and multiple beers to choose from??? people need to give up on all the crying about chains, you all aren't rich, this is charlottesville...there's plenty of tradition here so stop trying to make this the class of the east coast, it's bad enough people wear ties to college football games...would you like another mudhouse?? the businesses that are making it are only doing so because they've been proven for years...if you want some legit central VA food go to ol' va fried chicken or if that's not good enough take a trip to the bavarian chef use your mouth for good
This is a post about a new restaurant, not a rape case"Štry to stay on topic, please. Thank you."
Wouldn't expect anything less on the Hook website than people sidetracking onto any non-relevent topic they can think of *just* to have something to fight about. (roll eyes.) Any excuse for a "I'm going to be right and have the last word" pointless round and round.
Altogether now, sing it:
"Too much time on my hands...." - Styx
Beer and pizza. Sounds tasty. As soon as the free trolley does the sensible thing and extends its run to Barracks I'll be there with my money.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you've shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
Life's not pretty even though
I've tried so hard to make it so
Mornings are such cold distress
How did I ever get into this mess?"
-- Styx
Outskirts Guy, if they are going to sell pizza they will probably have delivery.
They need to deliver beer by the case!Keep it cold and keep it coming!Wooooo!!!!!
I'm with Gasbag. Bring on the Kenny Burger. To many pizzas and to many bricks, brix, oh whatever.
Bring back the Kenny Burger .. The Carivan would be nice, too!
Kenny Burger was swell! I can remember my Grandmother loved the place. She was from old school where everything was cooked from scratch and was amazed that you could go buy a GOOD burger that cheap and fast. But I agree with Rob, The Caravan was fantastic!
Heck .. A Lupos cheesesteak hoagie would do, too!
Nobody has ever matched the steak and cheese hoagies of Lupo's. Absolutely nobody!
Caravan, excellent! Remember the Humpty Dumpty, across from the Ridge Drive In? And the one downtown beside Lucky Seven? Good food.
People allowed the McDonalds and Burger Kings to put all these places out of business I guess.
I don't understand why business owners don't realize a nice Drive-In Theatre or Kenny Burger could survive now if they came back to life. I would guarantee either of them could make a go of it.
This Boston Market lasted longer than most, proving again that Barracks Road is Grade A retail property, hell it's number one on the city tax map. Center of town. I thought the food there was decent, but haven't gone in years. Maybe Brixx serves good pizza, I will try it, and most on here will too. I feel bad for the folks at Rise, but would expect they knew Brixx was coming when they signed their lease. Hey Dave, if you're reading all these, how can brunch and burger places be listed this week, but The Nook is not applicable to either? Mono Loco is listed under brunch, erroneously. Blue Light Grill Chef Lee Gregory started at Noon today, formerly the Executive Chef at Six Burner in Richmond and most recently holding the same title at Mockingbird in Staunton.
The Ridge Drive In, Near beer and Sandy, O what a night!
Who remembers Barnaby's Pizza .. now that was some good eats there! Tom Butte knew how to fix 'em for sure! YUM!
I don't think they delivered from the Uptown Charlotte location (but I could be wrong). They had unbelievable prices on locally brewed beer there. I put down a few before seeing a hockey game one night.
stu, are you saying that mono loco no longer serves brunch?
there were 2 pizza places at barracks until superstars closed in 2007.
would in-n-out burger be ok? it's a chain but it's family-owned.
the day in n out comes to Charlottesville is the day....I get really crushed and get me some In N Out!!!
Oh... In & Out could put the rest out of business. Unfortunately they have a very strict freshness and specific ingredient policy. Only certain potatoes (cut fresh daily, never frozen), specific meat supplier etc. I think the furthest east you will find them in in Las Vegas. Someone told me once that they wont move east because they can't ensure the same quality and standardization. Owning an In & Out franchise is like having your own license to print money!
Actually, In & Out are in CA, NV, AZ & UT, I stand corrected.
Confused easily .. If you want some good BBQ try Belmont BBQ .. Good Grub!
The food at Boston Market was not decent, not when you compare it to actual homemade, home cooked food. My boyfriend and I ate there over a year ago. We were definitely disappointed in the bland, mushy, overcooked food. We're spoiled with our own homemade food cooked just right, and loaded with flavor. Never went back there again. Now it's gone. No loss! If people don't know how to cook though they'll probably think Boston Market is actually good, because they don't know any better. Guess you can't fault them.
And In & Out? You have got to be kidding me. World's worst tasting, worst quality, overrated hamburger ever. Anybody parroting the mind control mantra of how awesome In & Out is is a zombie, period. :D I ate at an In & Out once when I lived in SoCal, never again. My ex boyfriend and I had a bond about our distaste for In & Out. :D Everybody else was under the mind control spell about In & Out and we were both like, Uhhhhhh...........no. People must never have eaten a home cooked charbroiled hamburger off a barbeque grill to think In & Out actually tastes good!!
And any pizza joint that uses the "wood fired stove" and "brick oven" bit as a selling point is pretentious, period! :D
Rob, Belmont BBQ is a pale imitation of good Texas bbq. Even a chain like Rudy's would put them out of business in a week.
Don't get me started on real Texas bbq like in Lockhart, Luling and Llano.
boooo!, it's funny how comments jog a memory so much. We used to have a "Charcoal Burger" joint in town, they had good burgers cooked over actual charcoal. It was on Main Street where the 10th Street connector is. The new hotel would be sitting on top of it now. It too was good food.
It saddens me to remember all of these decent places that have gone out of business. But of course, we can always find a Burger King or McDonalds every mile or so. :(
Rob and GSOE-- didn't Barnaby's have the braided crust? I really liked that place! Agreed on the icy cold drinks there. I love small ice!
Anyone remember La Vaca, the BBQ place that was on the corner of Barracks and Millmont? I love Texas 'cue, and La Vaca was great. They just disappeared one day. :-(
The one thing we really need here is a genuine cafe, where everything is made completely from scratch by people who know how to do it the right way and don't cut corners. Simple traditional food like chicken & dumplings, meatloaf and real mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, coconut cake and butterscotch pudding, Cobb Salad, and homemade Green Goddess dressing-- but nothing pre-made, no chemical additives and everything super fresh. That's the way restaurant food used to be before the agri guys got a choke-hold on the food world.
All we need is some hungry investors who believe that REALLY good food doesn't have to be trendy or expensive.
Look forward to Brixx, their food is excellent.
Hadn't thought if Barnaby's in years. I used to live right up the street. La Hacienda was a staple after Grad Happy Hour. El Cabrito was also good. How about U Caf and UD? Anyone remember Ethel?

Bring it on Bubba: Murdered Lake Wales grandma
February 20th, 2012 by Staff
Last week, media outlets reported on a 67-year-old Lake Wales grandmother found murdered in her home. Not only was she shot in the back of the head with a crossbow, but she was stabbed nearly 100 times.
The suspect in the case is her 19-year-old grandson.
Nationally syndicated radio shot host Bubba the Love Sponge is pretty disgusted. Hear what he has to say on the subject by clicking on the video.

If you go through your circle of Facebook friends, there are undoubtedly people on there that you haven't spoken to or seen for years. You may go through the process of clicking the mouse a couple times to cut the fat and unfriend those perimeter contacts, but according to a recent study, you may want to think before you do that.
A study from the University of Colorado recently found that those who discover they were unfriended take it very seriously. The study's author, Christopher Sibona, found that this small action may have big consequences in the real world. He found that 40 percent of people surveyed would "avoid" anyone in real life who unfriended them in Facebook, and women are more likely to avoid contact than men are.
Based on his survey responses, Sibona found six factors that go into someone's concerted effort to avoid someone:
- If the person discussed the event after it happened.
- If the emotional response to the unfriending was extremely negative.
- If the person unfriended believed the action was due to offline behavior.
- The geographical distance between the two.
- If the troubled relationship was discussed prior to the unfriending.
- How strong the person valued the relationship before the unfriending.
The main reason for avoiding someone after the unfriending is if the act was discussed publicly with someone else. Sibona states, "Talking to someone is a public declaration that the friendship is over."
This follows another study that Sibona created a couple years ago that looked why someone would decide to unfriend. The top four reasons were:
- Frequent, unimportant posts.
- Polarizing posts usually about politics or religion.
- Inappropriate posts involving sexist, racist remarks
- Boring everyday life posts about children, food, spouses etc.
Sibona said, "People who are unfriended may face [similar] psychological effects…because unfriending may be viewed as a form of social exclusion. The study makes clear that unfriending is meaningful and has important psychological consequences for those to whom it occurs."
While the act of unfriending is not made public through Facebook, if someone knew they were friends with you and then saw that you weren't, it would be pretty clear what happened. And watch out, there are even web extensions like Unfriend Finder that let people know loud and clear that you did indeed perform the dreaded unfriend act.
Have you unfriended anyone in the past?

Really, New York Times? Really? Okay, now I'm going to have to try it. But only with a cheap Basque red and an imported cane-sugar Coke.
Wine and Cola? It Works
By ROSIE SCHAAP
The New York Times
Published: May 20, 2013
Some might consider the kalimotxo (pronounced cal-ee-MO-cho) a guilty pleasure; I've received more than a few skeptical glances when I've ordered it at bars in New York. But I don't feel an iota of contrition when I drink this Basque-country classic. It couldn't be easier: equal parts red wine (some say the cheaper the better, but that's up to you) and cola. I like a squeeze of lemon juice for a little brightness, and maybe a slice of lemon or orange to dress it up. But purists might consider even those modest additions a little fussy. The overall effect is surprisingly sangria-esque, minus all that fruit-chopping and waiting, and wonderfully refreshing.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? (US - BD RA)
Gabe would be a much happier man had he not heard about the Morgans...
All star real estate agent Meryl Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker) and top lawyer Paul Morgan (Hugh Grant) were once a happy New York couple on their way to adopting their first child. Then Paul had an affair, and the couple were separated. Paul desperately tries to reconnect with Meryl though endless phone calls and gifts, and his efforts finally result in a reasonably civil dinner. While arguing on the long walk home the ex-couple witness a murder, and are pursued by a ruthless contract killer. FBI witness protection sends Meryl and Paul to Ray, Wyoming, where they're left under the protection of the Wheelers (Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen), and forced to deal with their marital problems.
Did You Hear About the Morgans? is exactly what everyone is expecting from writer/director Marc Lawrence, and stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant—a formulaic romantic comedy aimed at indifferent weekend date audiences aiming to watch anything on the night after a nice dinner out. One can almost envision Lawrence's checklist while watching the film:
1. Find one 'high concept' element to build your script around, then keep things as formless and derivative as possible. Check. The witness protection angle is, I believe, somewhat original to the romantic comedy genre, but the romantic problems, like city folk dealing with the country bumpkins, is so old hat it might as well be a Abe Lincoln style stove top.
2. Spike the basic, dry comedy with a handful of wacky, slapstick set pieces that do nothing to define the characters or plot. Check. The Morgans take on a bear, learn to shoot, and end the film at a rodeo, and tonally all these scenes feel like they were written and directed by a different person.
3. Hire actors to play the same characters they always play? Check. Sarah Jessica Parker plays a slightly stuffy, but generally likeable New York professional. Hugh Grant plays a nebbish, stuttering, neurotic Englishman out of place in all facets of Americana.
4. Include an older, wiser couple with anachronistic values who bring the main characters together in the end. Check. This is kind of an offshoot of point three, as Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen are both typecast in these roles, and scores extra points for fulfilling the another trope in the form of Elliot's 'advice scene', where he finally breaks his silence.
5. Include a sub-plot with characters that inevitably mirror the romantic interactions of the lead and fall in love as well? Check. The subplot is actually the part of the film that works, thanks in no small part to Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss, who pulls off lovably demanding like a real champion. I'd rather she played the lead in future mindless rom-coms, actually. At least her presence demands some kind of attention.
6. Tack-on a dance scene at the top of the third act? Check. And Lawrence gets extra credit for ham-fistedly cramming the lead character's verbal crisis into the middle of the dance itself, and having the band call for a partner change at a convenient moment. I'm sure he thought it was a brilliant visual metaphor.
The predictable plotting leads to predictable jokes, jokes that would find themselves right at home in a predictable television sit-com ('I can't breathe, the air's too clean!'). The lack of laugh track is actually funnier than the jokes themselves, as the silence following them (and there's usually a few beats) seems to equate the awkward silence that follows a failed punch line on stage. One can almost see the crickets every time Grant belts out a half-hearted one-liner. Unassuming and dull the whole way round.
Did You Hear About the Morgans? follows the lead set by, you know, every single studio formula romantic comedy ever, and is shot using nice, bright, diffused light. Daytime and indoor shots are colourful enough, and generally quite clean. The darkest shots are a bit soft, and the blacks are a little on the blue side, but certainly aren't grainy. The production juxtaposes the New York skyline and the Wyoming naturescape (actually New Mexico) quite a bit, and these luxurious long shots are pretty good looking, though there are some minor issues with consistent clarity. Most of the New York shots are very nice, but there are a handful of flat, noisy, and/or edge-enhanced bits here and there. The nature stuff is relatively solid, almost comparable with those BBC nature documentaries. The general colour schemes are also divided between the city and the country. New York is cool and blue, Wyoming is warm and colourful. The colour design utilized during the well lit interior shots are bright, sharp, and varied, which makes up for the relative blasé of the New York stuff. The green screen work is pretty dreadful—the mattes are sloppy and the colouring is constantly off (again, too blue)—and the high definition quality doesn't help. Overall this is actually a very impressive transfer despite the film's less than impressive visual output.
This is one of the quietest films I've watched in a long while. Like really quiet. Like if it wasn't for the occasional musical interlude (all predictable, of course) and dialogue this would be a silent film. There's something to be said for the silence during the Wyoming scenes in comparison to the New York scenes (juxtaposition), but there isn't a lot of city bustle or natural buzz to speak of. The effects we do get are almost exclusively centric, including stuff that would normally have a small directional effect on even the cheapest flick, like front to back gun shots and charging bears. The climactic rodeo scene features more aggressive score, a bit of thumping LFE, and does have some stereo channel crowd noise, but the rear channels are pretty thin even in the thick of the action.
The extras begin with a commentary featuring director Marc Lawrence and actors Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. The tone is friendly, a little awkward, and the participants aren't particularly prepared, but fill the bulk of the time with information. Lawrence is so proud of his 'invisible' effects it pains me to point out how bad the digital work is. It's a pleasant enough track, but not terribly focused. Those on the lookout for hard behind the scenes info and factoids can turn on the Movie IQ mode, which is dry but effective.
'Location, Location, Location' (18:10, HD) is, despite the title, a basic EPK, not just a look at location shooting. Subject matter includes the pre-production, casting, scripting, production design, location shooting in both environments, cow milking, and bullfighting. The tone is mega-fluffy, and there's no real intent to peel back the skin of the production, but the featurette is well made. 'Cowboys and Cosmopolitans' (08:00, HD) is simply a different EPK, including different footage, with a greater focus on the actors. 'Park Avenue Meets the Prairie' (05:00, HD) covers the costume design, or more appropriately the collecting of expensive clothing. 'A Bear of a Scene' (05:20, HD) covers the filming of the big bear scene, which features Bart 2, who isn't actually the son of the famous Bart (sad face).
The disc also features two deleted scenes (04:30, HD), despite mention of more during the commentary track, a painful outtakes reel (06:40, HD), an 'International Special' (13:50, HD), a sort of all-purpose recall of the other featurettes, and trailers for other Sony releases.
Did You Hear About the Morgans? is a predictable rom-com that gives predictable rom-coms a bad name. Even Sam Elliot and Elizabeth Moss can't save this one. As someone that doesn't usually go out of his way to watch these kinds of movies I recommend The Proposal, which is just as predictable, follows the first four items of this check list, but manages to entertain through, apparently, the sheer will of the actors. The Blu-ray looks and sounds fine, even if the high definition does the bad special effects no favours, and the sound design is quite sedated, and the extras are kind of entertaining, if not a little repetitive and fluffy.

I thought this movie was just okay. Anything more than a rental, is a waste of money.

Skip to comments.Vets face shortage of therapists
Posted on 07/18/2011 4:20:54 PM PDT by JohnBrownUSA
"When vets seek therapy, they want a professional who can relate to soldiers in combat, and that usually means a therapist who has military experience. Without such empathy, therapy often is doomed, vets say.
Because most psychologists and mental health care professionals don't have a military background, there's a void in the safety net for vets. Some veterans' organizations have stepped up, training members to help their peers, and the Soldiers Project provides free counseling from licensed professionals and veterans by phone to newly returned vets."
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
It's a disgrace that the VA is allowed to get away with treating America's veterans like this.
Every veteran who sits before a VA psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker should ask if they know anything about the military. If the therapist doesn't know, then the veteran should go to the Patient Advocate and ask to transfer care to a therapist with a military background.
here here......
The VA has gotten better in recent years, and they were very good with my dad at the end of his life.
But I notice that all the docs were FMGs (foreign medical graduates). This creates a cultural problem with psychiatric issues, I would guess.
Isn't that what the article is about...the shortage of those therapists?

Sorry for the repeat
You don't have to have been in combat to treat combat veterans. You just have to know what you're doing as psychologist. The real issue is that few psychologists are adequately trained in trauma psychology regardless of the nature or context of the traumatic event.
They routinely, and fatally, fall prey to the identification of the veteran-as-victim. Once the therapist makes that mistake, she may as well go to lunch, for her usefulness is ended.
As a former VA psychologist, I will tell you that vets do not sit BEFORE a VA psychiatrist. They sit on a chair facing the treatment team, as the psychiatrist asks sidelong questions while inputting data into the computer. The system is run by the system.
If zero is reelected I believe he´d wreak the VA, along with the rest of the nation.
Thanks for the link. I'll be letting others know about 'Give An Hour'! :)

Former Nepal PM Shrestha dies at age 71
August 15, 2013
KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The last Nepalese prime minister to serve before protests ushered in the Himalayan country's first democratic elections in the early 1990s has died, family members said.
Marich Man Singh Shrestha died Thursday of lung cancer at age 71, his son Anil said.
He had been undergoing treatment in New Delhi but was flown home earlier this week because of his deteriorating health.
Shrestha served as prime minister under a partyless political system from 1986 to 1990, when pro-democracy protests forced the king to lift a ban on political parties. The first democratic elections were held a year later.
His body was kept at his residence for family and supporters to pay their last respects. He was to be cremated later Thursday.

Eliot Asinof's newest baseball hero left tiny Gandee, Missouri, as John Clyde Cagle Jr., a hard-throwing lefthander who had pitched a perfect game in high school. Now he returns in triumph as the legendary "Black Jack", superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a stoic, menacing mound demon with a Fu Manchu moustache and a 106-mile-per-hour fastball.
In a nationally televised event that, like everything else in his life, is precisely orchestrated by agent and money manager Gordon Stanley, Jack's return is to dedicate Black Jack Field, the two-million-dollar ballpark he has donated to his hometown. He arrives in a white stretch limo, glamorous girlfriend at his side and the world at his feet, but he is stung by a spate of bad memories of his boyhood, most painful of which is that of Cyrus Coles, his fat black battery mate who had quietly taught Jack the disciplined pitching that had made him great. Typically now, when Jack throws out the ceremonial first pitch to his father, Vietnam war hero, spit-and-polish sheriff of Gandee, everyone believes the father to be the reason for the son's success.
Then Jack confronts Cyrus's murdered body, blown away by a shotgun blast. He has to face the fury of Cyrus's widow, Ruby, and, most provocative of all, an outspoken woman named Foxx, who makes him aware that he's been living a lie.
Jack flees this unsettling scene with his girlfriend for the pleasures of New York City -- until he learns that, back in Gandee, his father has arrested Ruby for the murder of her husband. To everyone's astonishment, Jack returns to Gandee to help her. With Foxx now an ally, he sees his hometown for its corrupt racist traditions, bringing on a new understanding ofhimself that leads him to risk everything to probe an intolerable truth.

A sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against former Sumter County Sheriff Johnny Hatter has been settled out of court.
A sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against former Sumter County Sheriff Johnny Hatter has been settled out of court.
The suit filed by former employee Margaret Shields claimed that the sheriff and other employees sent and received sexually explicit and offensive text messages and photos on their cellphones in May 2007.
She said that she was shown sexually offensive pictures that were publicly displayed in the office, where she worked as Hatter's secretary, and that she was fired after complaining to the sheriff.
Shields stated that the sheriff did not address her complaints and that she was forced to take a medical leave of absence in June 2007. Hatter fired her at the end of August 2007, while she was still on leave.
The case was dismissed Tuesday after attorneys notified U.S. District Judge David Proctor that a settlement had been reached. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the court file.
Montgomery defense attorney Jamie Kidd declined to comment Thursday. Birmingham attorney Cynthia Wilkinson, who represented Shields, was out of town and could not be reached.
The suit was originally filed against Hatter, the Sheriff's Office, the Sumter County Commission and Sumter County. The Sheriff's Office, County Commission and the county were dropped from the suit.
Shields sought judgment under different civil rights statutes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, which says everyone is entitled to due process under the law.
All of the claims against Hatter were dropped, except for one. The dispute remained over whether Hatter fired Shields as retaliation for her complaints.
Shields was hired as a dispatcher for the county in 1996 and served as a school deputy before becoming Hatter's secretary in 2000.
Hatter served as sheriff for Sumter County from 1994 until 2011.
He announced that he would not seek re-election in January 2010, a month after Shields filed the lawsuit.
It was the second sexual harassment suit against Hatter. In June 2009, a federal jury found Hatter guilty of offering a promotion to a Sumter County dispatcher for phone sex, and determined that he retaliated in firing the dispatcher and another employee who had cooperated with an investigation by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation into the phone sex claims.
The jury returned a $2.4 million verdict against Hatter, but the attorneys worked out a settlement after the conclusion of the trial.
Terms of that settlement were not publicly disclosed.

Philosophy on Human Resource Management
Case Western Reserve University's mission focuses on excellence in teaching, research, and scholarship. The university believes success in this mission depends on the collective efforts of a diverse workforce made up of individuals committed to excellence in service and performance. In keeping with this commitment, the university establishes guidelines for policy formulation and administration which:
- Emphasize the integrity of the university community through a unified institutional effort;
- Support and promote individual development for the betterment of the community;
- Recognize individual contribution at all levels and appreciate innovative effort and accomplishments, and;
- Encourage open communication and shared stakeholding to accomplish the mission.
The university takes pride in its tradition of leadership and innovation. The HR policies share this progressive character, providing foundation for a mutually supportive environment distinguished by equal opportunity and sound business practices.
It is necessary to change these policies from time to time to reflect changes in the workforce, employment trends, economic conditions and state and federal legislation. However, any changes in policy will be consistent with the university's approach to:
- Employ talented individuals whose creativity and imagination will support and contribute to achieving the university's mission;
- Communicate university standards and expectations;
- Value diversity;
- Assure equal employment opportunity and a workplace where relationships are based on mutual respect;
- Treat all faculty, staff, and students in a professional, non-discriminatory manner;
- provide safe, effective working conditions and accommodations, and;
- provide competitive salaries and benefits.
Purpose of the HR Policy Manual
The Human Resources Policy Manual is a central reference to all university employee relations policies. Each policy is a guideline to be used with discretion, understanding, and management in the spirit in which the policy is written. It is intended for use by individuals who have supervisory responsibility for Case Western Reserve University employees (compensated and non-compensated). The contents are available to any member of the Case Western Reserve University community.
It is important that supervisory staff understand and support each university policy. Therefore, every effort is made to include sources for certain policy guidelines (such as other university policies and positions as well as government requirements or legislation). Information regarding policy implementation will be found in accompanying procedures for supervisors.
These policies apply to employees as designated. Faculty may wish to review the Faculty Handbook, as referenced. In some instances, additional and more detailed provisions are described there. Student employees may wish to review the Employment Handbook for Students, as referenced, for additional information.
The specific policies that follow promote the philosophy of the university with regard to standards of excellence; terms of employment; employee development; and employee services. These policies and procedures will be reviewed on a regular basis and may be revised as necessary and appropriate to reflect the dynamics of the university. Changes will be communicated to all Case Western Reserve University employees, and new or revised policies will be distributed to individuals with supervisory responsibility.
Under no circumstances are the statements contained in these policies to be considered a contract of employment, an obligation, or guarantee on the part of the university.
