Vote of the week: How long are you willing to wait?
Written by Robert Niles
It's May, the last of the seasonal parks are (finally!) throwing open the gates, and soon the kids will be out of school. (Okay, here in Southern California, we've got another seven weeks to go for that.) That means that the lines at our favorite theme parks soon will be building, filling queues and testing patience.Tweet
And so, our vote of the week. How long are you willing to wait? Not for the latest premier blockbuster, but for established rides, especially ones that you love to ride again and again.
To help answer this question, perhaps it would help to think of a specific situation:
You're ready to get in the line to ride (or see) your favorite theme park attraction. It's your favorite, so you have been on it before. You take a look at the posted wait time, which we will assume is accurate.
At what number do you turn around and say, "uh, maybe later"?
Or, let's put it another way, if the wait time were not posted, at what point during the wait would you start getting mad about the amount of time you had spent in line?
The fact we're talking about re-rides is important. I know that many readers will wait just about any amount of time to go on a hot new ride - so I want to take that situation off the table. What's your upper limit for wait times for established theme park attractions?
Tell us your ideas about wait times, in the comments, please.

This is a tough one. Really, it depends on the ride. Not to mention, I make a note to get there to the park as soon as the place opens, so I can walk onto the best rides and take it slow for the rest of the day afterwards.
From TH Creative on May 1, 2009 at 8:07 AM
I don't think I've ever gotten "mad" about a wait time. Although I remember being annoyed with that migraine-inducing queue on the Roger Rabbit ride at DL.
From 184.108.40.206 on May 1, 2009 at 8:11 AM
The only ride I've waited for more than 60 minutes for is Toy Story Mania - I've waited in a 90 minute queue for that at least six times - WITH a five-year-old.
My biggest gripe about queues is that Fast Passes A) Make the queue longer and B) Make kids miserable. At the Magic Kingdom I constantly hear children crying because they want to just go stand in line and their parents are like, "No, we come back in THREE HOURS!!" To a child, standing in the queue is part of their instant gratification - they're in the queue, so the ride is really going to happen! It takes away from a child's enjoyment to deny them the queue and the impulsiveness of walking through the park, discovering an attraction, and queuing up.
From Brian L on May 1, 2009 at 8:30 AM
It's a theme park ride. You are supposed to be waiting a long time. Normally, if the line isn't long, then the ride must not be that good to begin with. With the exception of Peter Pan; still can't figure the long waits on that one. And sometimes the queue is awesome all by itself (Spider Man, Tower of Terror, Dueling Dragons) and it helps with the overall experience.
Working the Fastpass merge point at Splash Mountain i would always get an earful from the standby line about how long they had been waiting. I got in trouble once for talking back. It was only sometimes that a guest would stick up for me and yell at the other guests who were yelling at me to be patient and that this was all part of the experience. Had a kid do that once, almost made me cry with happiness. Gave the kid free fastpasses for that too i was so grateful that even a child understood what it meant to be in a theme park; a lot of waiting in lines.
From Tom Faraci on May 1, 2009 at 8:32 AM
I usually expect to wait no longer than 20 minutes per ride, but depending on the time of day and the ride itself, I'll wait 45 minutes to an hour before I start to groan.
From 126.96.36.199 on May 1, 2009 at 8:57 AM
I live near Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA and Kings Dominion, Doswell, VA.
At those 2 places, I have a VERY low tolerance for waiting.
Simply because I have already been on every ride they have at least 100 times AND I have the Platnium / VIP passes, so I can come back any day I want.
For Kings Dominion, I have a system, arriving to the park as soon as I possibly can get on a ride. I can ride all of the coasters by lunch.
For places that I do not live near, such as CA and Florida, I have a bigger tolerance for waiting since I am not there 10 times a year.
But, I still refuse to stand in line and wait more than 1 hour for any ride.
I realize that there are set capacities by the fire marshall, etc for theme parks, but when it is too crowded, I am miserable and I just leave.
My time is more valuable than standing in line.

I Respond: Great minds think alike!
Back in February, Mr. Niles asked us: " Which classic attraction should Disney change next?"
I responded thusly: ABSOLUTELY, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, WITHOUT A DOUBT, PERIOD, END OF STORY: Peter Pans Flight! The current ride at WDW CONSTANTLY has a MONSTER LINE! Some might say that means "leave well enough alone. I say that it proves the popularity of the franchise (especially when it comes to Tink). Gut the lame, 1970s funhouse effects. Make it state-of-the-art. Market it loud and long and they will CRASH THE GATES.
Oddly, in the survey results PPF finished dead last.
From Anthony Murphy on May 1, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Usually, I try to keep it at 30 minutes or less. I waited in line for Superman at SFGA for 1.5 hours. I was with a girl I liked, but if it was up to me, no chance of waiting in that line!
From Robert Niles on May 1, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Totally forgot about the whole "theme park lines as a way to get a girl/guy you like to spend time with you" element. Tells you how old I am!
From Jeff M on May 1, 2009 at 11:48 AM
I voted in the 0-20 minute catagory.
Robert, no worries....age before beauty??? We can't remember it all!!! (or can we??? :) )
For me I've been spoiled to be considered well enough to work in some area of the Theme Park industries. I usually now don't wait at all to ride any kind of rides, and if I do, like I said...I voted less than 20 minutes.
I will say that I have, in my past younger than 30 years, waited much longer regardless of the place, ride or time! I could recall many long waits spending time in the queue's with that "special" lady (of the time), or even my pre teens with family. I guess that the time spent waiting with the ladies of my past is just another topic as Robert pointed out.
From Brandon S on May 1, 2009 at 11:55 AM
It depends for me if i'm at my home park,cedar point, or if I'm at a different park such as kings island. At cedar point i wait no longer than half an hour or at the most 45 minutes. I only make exceptions for this if its extremely crowded on a day so I pretty much have to wait an hour plus or of course for the millennium force haha. Also, I know I will be back a couple times in the next week,maybe even more so it doesn't matter if i skip a ride. If I'm at Kings Island I will wait longer like an hour or an hour and 15 minutes at the most because I don't go there more than once or twice a year. But i also want to get on as much as I can too so i keep it under an hour and a half wait time. So that's how i go at my wait time.
From Joe Schwartz on May 1, 2009 at 12:38 PM
I've been known to wait on a new or popular attraction fo over 2 hours if they are haveing mechanical difficulties or rain delays. Especialy if it is one I realy enjoy. My patience wears thin after one hour. That is why I like easy pass at Disney World.
From Don Neal on May 1, 2009 at 1:42 PM
For me it goes like this:
- New Attraction: 90 mins
- Blockbuster on a Busy Day: 60-90 mins
- Established Ride: 45-60 mins
- Low Rating but Fun: 15-30 mins
I have been at KI when a new ride was launching and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why people were waiting 2-3 hours to ride it when the rest of the park was empty!! I rode almost everything 2-3 times. I have flat feet and standing in a que doesn't help that but who wants to just sit there in the heat. Keep moving, plenty to see and do. And that attraction will be there for the next 30 years so I'll catch it next time and each time after that!!
As for blockbusters, I'll wait 90 mins for the likes of Hulk or Spidey at IOA but it takes everything I have in me to do it. Anything under 45 mins is a no brainer if you really want to ride that ride. 45 mins is the sweet spot I guess is what I am trying to say.
From M. Ryan Traylor on May 1, 2009 at 1:55 PM
I have to agree with others; it all depends on which ride. Right now, I don't mind the 40-60 minute wait for Toy Story Mania. Space Mountain, if the line is 5 minutes behind the water fountains, no thanks. Indy, more than 1/3 of outside queue filled, no thanks.
Now, on a hot day, I will wait 30 minutes for Haunted Mansion and Pirates to spend 15 minutes in the AC.
From Tim W on May 1, 2009 at 2:02 PM
honestly i cant stand wiating for more than a half hr. a ride doesnt seem worth it. this past february i was dragged onto a 100 wait time for peterpans flight. hmm for about a 2 to 3 minute ride. it wasn't worth it. anything over twenty is a little insane, thats the great thing about disney fast passes!
From Amanda Jenkins on May 1, 2009 at 2:09 PM
For me, it just depends on how long I am on vacation there. Since there is really no good theme parks around Memphis that can be easily gotten to in a few hours, then the amount of time will depend on how long I am staying in that theme park's city. If I am staying more than five days, then I will come back and see if the wait time changes. If I am only staying around a few days and I really love this ride, then I have no problem waiting in a line that is 60-90 minutes. The reason for that is, I know that I better ride it because it may be another year before I can return to ride it again. Thankfully we have been able to go twice to Disney World within the last five months, so it hasn't hurt too badly if we missed a ride or two due to long lines. We are even thinking of going again in the fall to hit up the rides we missed on our last trip.
From AJ Hummel on May 1, 2009 at 3:38 PM
For me, it really depends on the ride. If it is at a park that doesn't post wait times, I'll usually get in line and wait for about ten minutes. If it moves well or isn't that long, I'll stay there. Otherwise, I'll get out of line and go do something else. At parks that do post wait times, I usually follow the following:
Ride I've never been on or the park's best rides: No upper limit
I will go on pretty much any ride if it doesn't have a wait as long as it doesn't cause discomfort.
From 18.104.22.168 on May 1, 2009 at 8:42 PM
Last summer, my daughter (14) and I, went to DW for the first time. Now I have been to theme parks before, years ago, but I understand long lines. Still I have health problems, so a long line can be a problem. And We are coming from Oregon to Orlando. We spend a whole day just getting there on a plane. So to me, wasting 2 hours in a line for each ride is like wasting money. There were many rides we did not go on, and having to wait in a line for a character greating! OMG!!! With the cost of entrance to the parks and only getting to go on a few rides after standing in line for hours all day, I don't think we'll be making that trip again.
From James Rao on May 2, 2009 at 4:36 AM
20 minutes is about my max unless the ride is brand new and something I have never ridden before. On older rides, waits exceeding 20 minutes usually mean (for the most part) poor line management by ride attendants, or (in the case of coasters) not enough trains on the course. If possible, I will hop out of line, grab a Fastpass, buy Universal Express or a Flashpass, or do something else and try again later. I just don't have the patience for long waits.
From Iris Hernandez on May 2, 2009 at 5:31 AM
I hated working the fastpass queue on Peter Pan's flight. Man, the guests tend to get vicious when they see how many people from the fastpass line i was told to put thru during the busy periods. 80/20, i cringed every time I heard those words. It meant that I had to let thru in intervals 80, get this 80! fastpass guests go thru and only 20 from the standby line. I honestly dont get why people wait in that line so long, even on a slow day the line can still get a 60 min wait!
Anyways...I personally picked the 45-60 min wait and that has to be on a busy day, otherwise like everyone else i will buy an express pass if i am @ universal or do the fastpasses at disney. But you will NEVER see me in a stand-by line for toy story mania, get there early enough(when the park opens pretty much) and you still have time to grab a fastpass.
From Eli Katzman on May 2, 2009 at 12:23 PM
This is very hard to answer. It depends if you mean while in your in line, after the ride, etc. Also, it depends what the ride is. If it's a ride i've never ridden, and I've really been looking forward to it, I can wait as long is I need to. For KK or TTD, I could wait 5 hours!
From 18.104.22.168 on May 2, 2009 at 1:34 PM
I'm willing to wait at any theme park ride for up to an hour - any more than that would be cruddy. I for one live somewhere between Tampa Bay and Central Florida (more like Tampa Bay, if you ask me), where the theme parks are located up to an hour from home. This area, especially the latter mentioned Central Florida, is brimming with theme parks, and believe me - if you guys traveled to the area in June-August, December, and January, watch out. According to the mentioned months, the wait times don't depend only on when kids are off school, when locals abound, or how popular the ride really is. These are high times (especially July) for those (ahem) Brazilian tour groups (matching tees and some guy holding a flag), which are line cutters and lengtheners. They can make a decent 20-minute wait into a 30-50 minute one, depending on how large or small the size the group is.
I don't just count the Fastpass system as a life-saver; also, I have a Seasonal Pass - the block-out dates to go coincide with those peak seasons, anyway.
From David Sutter on May 3, 2009 at 6:24 AM
Well I voted for the 45 mins. Been know to wait longer fors some over another..AS for the fast pass...It truly sucks...Ive done it several times..And the whole Idea of the 80/20 split makes me mad..And also I hate back tracking in a park..The guests have paid the same gate price..So this tells me the mix on busy days needs to be changed or cut the number issued down..So those who are in the stand by Que..get a chance as well..AS with a recent Test Track encounter..My family and I waited in the que for 55 mins..and it was short..were fast pass was a walk on..Theres time stamps on them why not make that the fast pass wait time..so every gets a shot ..

Hi - While traveling to the nearest asian market earlier this week (which is 45 min away!), I bought a couple extra korean radishes. I have not cut them up in any way so they are whole.
I'm looking to use these radishes to include in some soups. Can I cut and freeze the pieces for use in soups sometime in the next month? Does the radish freeze well or does it lose some of the texture if frozen?
Thanks in advance for your recommendations! :)

We live with a lot of stuff. The average kitchen, for example, is home to stuff galore, and every appliance, every utensil, every thing, is compound—composed of tens, hundreds, even thousands of other things. Although each piece of stuff satisfies some desire, it also creates the need for even more stuff: cereal demands a spoon; a television demands a remote.
Although technological change is vital for economic growth, the interaction of finance and technological innovation is rarely studied. This pioneering volume examines the ways in which innovation is funded in the United States. In case studies and theoretical discussions, leading economists and economic historians analyze how inventors and technologically creative entrepreneurs have raised funds for their projects at different stages of U.S. economic development, beginning with the post-Civil War period of the Second Industrial Revolution.

The production of bicycles in Britain and the United States recently suffered severe setbacks. The renowned American Schwinn brand was downgraded to the mass market by its new owners following bankruptcy, and Britain's Raleigh came close to closure because of high debts and poor returns, saved only by a last-minute management buyout. In both cases, market share and credibility were lost to newer, more innovative firms, as well as to a recentering of the global bicycle industry in the Far East.

Great looking graphics. I like the way they flow inside the car and back out. Is this the Crate or Super LM?
This will be the Tiffany Motorsports super he will run at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55...
I agree, you don't see the deck wrapped on many cars. Very unique and looks good...
Brian has been wrapping the decklid for some time now. Look at Craig Smiths last couple of cars. Aggeressive graphics is and has been ahead of the game!!
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
I agree Brian is one of the best. I guess I just hadn't noticed the decks being done.
Very nicely done one of the best looking rides out there Good Luck Ed you deserve it!!!!
Eddie enjoy your new ride which I know you will. I know you cant wait to get back on the track at I55.
Wow i haven't seen hovis on the side of a car in a few years.......
In my opinion, that car is hideous. And most people don't wrap decks due to the added cost.
looking forward to seeing that car in action hope he comes to belleville. looks good!
I agree. It looks like the car had a head on collision with a couple of gallons of paint or was shot at with a paint gun!
as long as it puts him back in victory lane i dont care , im more of a no show all go but good luck ed !
And at belle Claire speedway, if not this week for sure next week. So just in case you all better head out to BC this weekend.
Different looking than anything Ed's ever had that's for sure. Kinda reminds me of Voigt's scheme last year.
great looking car

"The paradox that unselfish love cannot rest perfectly except in a love that is perfectly reciprocated: because it knows that the only true peace is found in selfless love. Selfless love consents to be loved selflessly for the sake of the beloved. In so doing, it perfects itself.
The gift of love is the gift of the power and the capacity to love, and, therefore, to give love with full effect is also to receive it. So, love can only be kept by being given away, and it can only be given perfectly when it is also received."

So what? His wife and child are American citizens, and he was here legally.
Isn't that how public assistance ideally works? A temporary safety net, right? Relevant: "The state says both Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — his brother and the other bombing suspect — received welfare benefits as children through their parents while the family lived in Massachusetts. Neither was receiving benefits at the time of the bombing."
Is that the story, the system operated as intended? Or is this non-news dressed up as news just so we hate the bomber (and by extension, his family) a teensy bit more?
I mean, we're so generous to people living in poverty in this country, and we have no homeless or hungry people ever, so obviously this is big important news — it's in no way related to some sort of stigma associated with welfare, nope, no sir. /sarcasm
From the "Shit you can't make up" files:
In a bizarre twist befitting a Hollywood conspiracy theory movie. the AP reports today that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was influenced by conspiracy theories, including Alex Jones' website Infowars, which has been pushing a narrative that the Tsarnaev brothers were patsies set up by a government cabal to take the fall for the bombing
There's no doubt that Jones will take this report as confirmation of everything he's been preaching. The report, he will claim, was planted in the AP — the government controls the media, after all — and is a naked attempt to discredit him and definitive proof that the globalist cabal views him as a serious threat. He was getting too close to the truth in Boston, so they decided to try to take him out. It'll be a big shot in the arm to Jones' grand theory of the bombings, which has suffered from an embarrassing lack of evidence and logical consistently. He said the government first planned to blame the Tea Party, but then was found out and had to switch Plan B — blame Muslim extremists — so with the AP report, Jones will say, the government is trying to return to Plan A.
Other reports state that the suspects' mother was a believer in 9/11 truther theories — specifically ones spouted by Jones and others -- that claim 9/11 was a government conspiracy to make Americans hate Muslims because terrorism, but was concocted to take away civil rights and gain power, blah blah blah.
For people who think the government is largely incompetent, Jones and his followers sure have a lot of faith in it. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out as the investigation continues, considering anything said regarding Tsarnaev being a fan of Alex Jones can, of course, just be another part of the "conspiracy."
This was necessary? Really?
Have I ever said how much Sen. Lindsey Graham scares the shit out of me? No?
Well, here's why we should give an actual fuck if the suspect receives a Miranda warning.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the "lone wolf" hypothesis personified.
Just let me point out the cognitive gymnastics Kirsten Powers is performing here: A Muslim man is not necessarily a terrorist, but could be; however, an abortion clinic bomber is never a terrorist because that person is crazy and is totally and 100% not representative of the pro-life movement.
So… just like the miniscule minority of Muslims who commit terrorism are not representative of the overwhelming peaceful majority who follow the teachings of Islam?
Just so we're clear, domestic terrorism motivated by radical anti-choice ideology is just that — terrorism.
I just can't…
According to The Boston Globe, "an explosive trigger was found on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body at the morgue."
CONNECTICUT STATE POLICE UPDATE RE BOSTON BOMBING CASE Since the tragic bombing that took place in Boston on April 15, the Connecticut State Police has monitored all intelligence related to this investigation. Today, April 19, 2013, the Connecticut State Police received information from the Boston Investigation that a suspect vehicle could POSSIBLY be occupied by a wanted suspect. The vehicle is described by BOSTON AREA AUTHORITIES; the SUSPECT MAY BE OPERATING A: GRAY, HONDA, CRV Connecticut Troopers are posted strategically in our State and continue to communicate with Massachusetts authorities. THIS CASE REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION. ###END### LT. J. Paul Vance UPDATE: BOSTON POLICE HAVE REPORTEDLY RECOVERED THE VEHICLE ABANDONED, 10:29 AM EDT
From Salon:
Norwich (CT) Bulletin: "Connecticut and Massachusetts state police are searching for a gray Honda CRV, with Massachusetts license plate 316-ES9, that might be occupied by Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. Police said they believe Tsarnaev is headed to New York."
NBC now reports that train in CT has not been allowed to leave for New York, and that a third accomplice is being searched for on board. Reporting remains fluid.
The person questioned in the hospital was a Saudi national, who was reportedly tackled and held by a bystander after he was seen running from near the scene of the explosion, said a law enforcement source who spoke with someone involved in the FBI's investigation.
The Saudi man, believed to be a university student in Boston, is cooperating with the FBI and told agents that he was not involved in the explosions, and that he ran only because he was frightened. Investigators did not characterize the man as a suspect. No one had been arrested or charged by late Monday night.
The Boston Globe, April 17, 2013
I would have run as I fast as I could as well.
Gee, wonder why a bystander tackled a Saudi man who was nearby versus any other of the hundreds, likely thousands, of spectators in the general vicinity? It couldn't have anything to do with the demonization of Muslims (and those who "look" Muslim or Middle Eastern) in the U.S., could it?
The person of interest shown on a surveillance video setting down a bag near the site of the second explosion at the Boston Marathon is described as a young white male wearing a black jacket, a grey hooded sweatshirt and a white or off-white baseball cap backwards. He is 6 feet or 6-feet-2-inches tall with a medium build.
The man appeared to be alone and was talking on a cell phone at the time he set down a bag. When the first explosive device went off, he took off. Moments later, a second explosion happened right where he had been standing.
If you have any information at all, call Boston authorities at 1-800-494-TIPS

There were people like you around during cointelpro and gulf of tonkin too, Meg. If you believe anything you see on TV, you are not intelligent.
So you're saying we can believe nothing we see on TV?
I'm watching Rescue Me right now. Right now, Denis Leary is playing Tommy Gavin. But I guess I'm not intelligent for believing something I'm seeing on TV.
I'm not saying "question nothing" — just the opposite. But do you really believe the Boston bombings were some kind of government conspiracy? That Sandy Hook was faked? That Aurora really didn't happen?
I swear, you people can't see things in shades other than black, white, or batshit. Either I support the conspiracy, or I'm not intelligent.
And yeah, there were people like me during COINTELPRO. They had FBI files on us and everything for being left-wing.
Here, spin a conspiracy theory about me:
That sign stood outside the UniWyo dome after I successfully sued the University of Wyoming after they banned a speech by Prof. William Ayers. I'm sure there's a photo of the two of us somewhere. That should give you folks enough material for at least the next four years if Sean Hannity's rageboner is any indication.
I mean, you DID see this on the internet, and not TV, so it must be true, yeah?

Is this real life? Has Alex Jones been breeding?!
Here's Alex Jones and his acolytes summed up:
For fuck's sake…
Send me a link. A name. The news report. Anything. I don't want another fucking photoshopped screen shot. I want a real-life video from a news agency affiliated with a major organization.
There's nothing weird going on here except for the persistent refusal of people to accept that the Boston Marathon bombing was not a goddamn plot by the government.
Here's my theory:
The bomber was Maggie Gyllenhaal, who also is responsible for Newtown, after she went ballistic on the set of that one Manbat movie she was in. The real Maggie Gyllenhaal has been replaced by a woman named Erika from Englishtown, N.J.
See? Here's a side by side picture:
And it's even from Boston.com, the website owned by The Boston Globe. THEY WERE TRYING TO TIP US OFF AND YOU PEOPLE DIDN'T SEE IT.
Now, prove me wrong.
From the International Business Times:
An anonymous person has purchased the 'BostonMarathonConspiracy.com' domain to prevent conspiracy theorists from perpetuating their ideas.

John Cleese plans 'alimony tour' to pay his ex-wife
Login to post comments
Lvndr HppE: I'm tellin' ya. He should marry me. He'd only have to give me half of that amount in alimony. :-P
John Cleese plans 'alimony tour' to pay his ex-wife
By Kevin Rawlinson
Saturday, 22 May 2010
John Cleese is to embark on his first-ever UK tour next year at the age of 71. The comedian, who recently agreed a divorce settlement believed to be in the region of £12m, has dubbed it the "Alimony Tour".
Cleese, who rose to fame with Monty Python, promised the show would be "an evening of well-honed anecdotes, psychoanalytical titbits, details of recent surgical procedures, and unprovoked attacks on former colleagues, especially Michael Palin".
His marriage to his third wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger, broke down in 2008 and the divorce was settled in December of that year. It is not the first time Cleese has turned to the stage to pay his alimony. He previously took his A Ludicrous Evening with John Cleese ... or How to Finance Your Divorce tour to Scandinavia. He said at the time that he was unhappy at being forced to go back to work.
Cleese said: "I get angry that I have to pack my trunk just to make money. That I, at my age, would have to plan my life anew to pay her all the money she is to get for seven years – well it irritates me. I'd rather have been drinking coffee, reading books and writing. I can't afford that now. But if I really have to earn money, this is as pleasant a way of doing it as I can think of.
"The thing about being in the final stages of my career, is that I can be pretty sure that anyone who's bought a ticket doesn't hate me. So, when I walk on stage, I get a nice reception, and the nerves disappear."
The comedian let slip the size of the payout to his ex-wife, saying: "What I find so unfair is that if we both died today, her children would get much more than mine. At least I will know in future if I go out with a lady they will not be after me for my money."
Cleese also complained about the ongoing payments to his former wife, an American psychotherapist, author and talk radio host, saying: "I mean people are surprised when I say the figures. When Alyce Faye and I split up she got $13m [£9m] and I got to keep $8m. But over the next seven years I have to pay her $1m a year. She needs it."
Tickets for his 2011 tour went on sale yesterday, £36.25 each – or 0.0004 per cent of Cleese's alimony settlement. The run begins in Cambridge on 3 May, and visits Birmingham, Bath, Liverpool, Oxford, Leeds, Edinburgh and Glasgow before finishing in Bristol.

It's been a year and a half since the new Price Chopper location opened with much fanfare and celebration.
Since then, though the old location at the corner of Route 9 and Maple Avenue has been dormant.
It is one of the many storefronts that is vacant in town and we want to know what you would put there.
Many local parents have been asking for a kid-friendly restaurant or gathering place, while others are asking for a bookstore like Borders.
If I could take out my magic wand, what would you like to see in that plaza?

For Nick Diaz, with his fight against B.J. Penn now just over a week away, the former Strikeforce welterweight champion admits regret when speaking about his missed opportunity to face Georges St-Pierre on the UFC 137 fight card.
Diaz was yanked from the main event slot when he failed to appear at two separate press obligations. The second of which prompted UFC president Dana White to make the decision to pull Diaz from his bout with St-Pierre, although he later gave him a second chance to stay on the card by facing Penn instead.
On Wednesday, the UFC scheduled a media conference call, which is standard practice for the promotion prior to every event. The people scheduled to be on the call included new co-main event fighters Matt Mitrione and Cheick Kongo, as well as B.J. Penn and, of course, Nick Diaz.
For the first 45 minutes of the call, Diaz was a no-show and everybody was wondering if this was déjà vu all over again. Finally, like a magician, Diaz appeared out of nowhere for the final 15 minutes of the call to answer questions.
The first of which was where exactly was he?
"I didn't even know about a call," Diaz said on Wednesday. "Nobody called me in the last week or couple days and said that there was a call. Training last night, I went home, got something to eat, went to sleep, woke up, my phone was dead, and then my brother's telling me that I'm supposed to be on a call. I didn't know anything about it. It's as simple as that."
It was an eerily similar situation to the one back in September when Diaz didn't show up for a press conference, and the end result was him losing out on a shot at the UFC welterweight title.
According to Diaz, the people that are getting paid to remind him of such duties definitely aren't pulling their weight, and now all he can do is live with regret for a missed opportunity.
"Of course I have regret," said Diaz. "I have people that are supposed to take care of stuff, like I got a lawyer or something right, that's supposed to get paid 100 grand, a ridiculous amount of money. I've been living the same since I started since I was 17. I lived down the street from my parents, who I used to live in the same house with, now I live with my brother. I've got all these people, business people, and big money people around me trying to make deals. I don't know anything about that.
"All I know, somebody's getting paid over 100 grand just to tell me what I'm supposed to do and what I'm not supposed to do. I think for that much money I think I could have had somebody standing around telling me 'hey, you can't miss this press conference.'"
Taking a level of personal responsibility, Diaz believes if he would have known more about the press conference back in September, or even the conference call on Wednesday, that he would have been alert and on time for both.
Hindsight what it is, however, Diaz can only move forward with his career.
"If I had read that (contract) over myself, I'd have been a little more cautious and been like 'oh, I've got people getting paid to tell me alright you need to be here or there.' I feel like if I would have had that, I would have read that (expletive) myself and dealt with things myself and been a little more conscious. I probably would have showed up at that press conference," Diaz stated.
Always honest, sometimes to a fault, Diaz wasn't apologizing for his day-to-day demeanor when getting ready for a fight. He's paid to show up and beat the other man standing across the cage from him, not to placate the press.
"You've got to know, I'm not sitting here with my phone waiting for a call. I'm waiting for some training, trying to get some relax time in before I have to go back to another four hours of training," said Diaz.
UFC president Dana White has said many times that Nick Diaz needs to "play the game, just a little bit" to get by in the promotion. Fifteen minutes on a conference call might just qualify Diaz as playing the game on Wednesday.

This idiot gets paid to fight in the main event, but claims nobody told him he had obligations other than to just show up for the fight? This asshole needs a babysitter?
He doesn't deserve a shot at the title. I hope BJ kicks his teeth down his throat!
Agreed BigGuy. He doesn't deserve it!! I'm not a BJ Penn fan, but I hope BJ destroys him.

I hope your brother has recovered from the adhesion and there will be no reason for the doctor to interfere further. I'm glad to know you won't be circumcising your own son when he arrives. You will be amazed at the amount of tugging that little boys can do!

Go Gueuze! What's Up With This Sour Beer?
You want to serve something completely unexpected, and completely fantastic, at your next party? Try a gueuze. Not everyone may like this crazy tart, sour, and fruity beer...at least at first. But you can bet they'll be talking about it for weeks to come.
Gueuze, or geuze, is from the lambic arm of the Belgian family of beers. It's a blend of young and old lambics to which no actual fruit has been added. This is the real stuff!
If you've never had a gueuze before, the first taste can really twist your tongue into a knot. You need to give it a few more sips to get over the shock and to start tasting anything beyond the musty sour punch. It reminds me a lot of kombucha, actually.
Gueuze is fermented with wild yeast and local bacteria so you get a lot of that funky sour flavor typical of many Belgian beers. The blending of young and old also means that the flavors are super complex and layered. Gueuze is typically very crisp and juicy in the mouth with lots of tart fruity flavors. The carbonation is often so fizzy that the beer almost feels creamy across the tongue.
This beer is really great with food. Any course, any dish. You could pair tumblers of gueuze with a cheese plate as guests are mingling or serve it alongside a platter of roast chicken with all the fixings. I could even see sipping it with a fruit cobbler after dinner is over. Gueuze seems to pick up and compliment the flavors in whatever it is you have in front of you.
American craft brewers are just starting to play around with this style. You won't find many in bottles, but it's entirely possible that your local brewery is toying with a batch. One of the best gueuze that I've had recently was on tap at the Lagunitas Brewing Company beer room up in Petaluma, California. Most small breweries will let you buy a growler to take home with you.
Here are a few bottles to look for at your beer store:
• Cantillon Gueuze Lambic from Brasserie Cantillon
• Lindemans Gueuze from Brouwerij Lindemans
• Gueuze 1882 from Brouwerij Girardin
• Oulde Gueuze from Hanssens Artisanaal
As for how to pronounce it, just imagine yourself slouched against a bar in Belgium. Geueze sounds a bit like how you might respond if your companion says something particularly annoying: GUH-zeh! It helps to make expansive arm gestures while you're at it.
Do you love gueuze? Which ones do you recommend?

Cantillon Classic Geuze is so hard to find on the west coast with the prominence of craft beer fans over here nowadays. Usually sells out as soon as it hits the shelves. Definitely easier to get in New England.
Cuvee Renee Geuze from Lindemans is the better choice over their regular one, and is easily found.
Another fairly easy to find geuze is Oud Beersel's Oude Geuze Vieille.
Was just in Brussels, and toured Cantillion. Of all the Gueuze I tried it was the best. A lot of them are brewed in more commercially economical ways, but Cantillion uses a very traditional process.
I fell in love with Gueuze many years ago while in a relationship with a Belgian. It's incredibly tasty and yet I find it next to impossible to locate it here, particularly for home purchase rather than in a Belgian-theme pub. I think one of the best is Belle-Vue Gueuze. Really delicious. Good luck finding it though.
I was also just in Brussels and toured Cantillon Brewery. What a fantastic place! While the sour taste of the samples wasn't to my liking (unsophisticated palette, I presume), it was a dream to taste it from the source for my husband and a micro-brewer friend of ours.
I lovelovelove sour, funky beer. I always have to preface any taste offering to friends with, "I love this beer, but it's REALLY sour. You might hate it...." And they usually do. So sad. I usually can only get Gueuze style beers at Belgian bars around Philly.

hey you know how i said i had a date well something came up and i may or may not have decided to give my existance a chance
Some of you might have noticed how I posted this a while back, and due to the advice of a friend, I decided to post this, on this specific site because I knew it might only get me even more negative feedback somewhere else.
I haven't had Tumblr for a while, but though this may sound pathetic, it's probably still the only reason I'm still here. I don't want to sound whiny, but I know how this place is, and, well…
If this gets 100,000 notes by Christmas, I will not take my own life.
Plain and simple.
I know like that's a lot to ask for but honestly, I don't care what happens to me anymore, so I suppose I'm just being stubborn.
Please don't feel like you're obligated to have this on your blog.

ASUS FamilyPad 13 inch Android tablet: specs and pricein: Android ASUS Tablets
Archos is a reputed smart device maker which has already listed several Android smartphones in its collection. Now Archos is again in discussion with launch of its latest smart device. It is a 13 inch Android Tablet. 13 inch and still a tablet?? This is the question that stroked my mind when I firstly heard about this device. Yeah! It come with 13 inches display and is still a tablet. It is to be noted that it comes with a screen size which is very similar to many mini laptops (even I'm using one). However it comes with entirely different specs in terms of OS and other relevant features.

Text vexed: Cellphone texting, especially for teens, has gone beyond handy information to hurtful crimes
Blackmail. Bullying. Cheating. Intimidation. Falsifying identities. Disparaging someone's reputation. They read like a laundry list of activities you'd expect to find in a mob enforcer's day planner.
But they actually happen every day in our elementary, middle and high schools, and even more so out of school, during summer vacation. Such acts are committed all the time by teenagers who text on their cellphones.
Problems associated with teens and texting aren't new, but the severity of those issues is on the rise. All of the things teens do live — bully, have inappropriate sexual experiences, zone out in class, and get into trouble with the law — can be magnified, or even invented, by the technology of texting.
The social issue du jour among social workers and teens is text bullying, which is getting the lion's share of attention for its damaging effects on teens. Intimidation, which is similar to bullying, and blackmail happens when teens imply — but stop just short of threatening — physical violence.
Another disturbing new trend in teen texting is blackmail, which occurs when students falsify their identity to encourage other students to cheat on tests, harm other students and even take drugs, as one Collier County seventh-grader reported. Teens who participate in text cheating take tests early in the day and text the answers to students taking the same test later on.
And in the texting world, bullying never lets up. The bully often texts at all hours of the day or night.
"Bullying tactics are expanding with technology, with texting and Facebook and MySpace," said Kimberly Rodgers, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and registered play therapist supervisor (RPT-S) at Monarch Therapy in Naples. "It's a safer and less intimidating way to bully people."
Still, bullying via text messaging can have the same effect as face-to-face.
"Any kind of bullying — it could have a huge potential to harm someone's self-esteem," said Rodgers. "They can start defining themselves according to the criticism. For instance if a teen is bullied about his intelligence it could affect his study habits."
Rodgers also suggests that bullying can amplify a common ideology that teenagers hold: to focus on the here and now.
"Bullying can affect ability to foresee success in the future," said Rodgers. "(This includes) successes like going to college and having a family may seem further out of reach."
Texting also is becoming a new outlet for teens to have pseudo-sex, known as "sexting." Teens are simulating sex via texts, pictures and videos sent from their phones. As in bullying through text, sex via text can have emotional effects on teens.
After a teen relationship ends, sexting photos sent from one to the other can turn into blackmail or slander, and the repercussions can be traumatic. In Orlando and in Muscle Shoals, Ala., vengeful ex-boyfriends sent nude photos of teen girls to classmates, friends and even their families. One of the boys was prosecuted and his sentenced included registration as a sex offender. In another case, an 18-year-old woman in Ohio committed suicide after classroom taunts following the website posting of a nude photo she had sent a boyfriend. Several websites actually offer to post sexting photos from jilted lovers.
While texting magnifies bad behavior, it has opened doors for offending teens to get their comeuppance. Bullying via text is a traceable offense. It can bring about legal charges of harassment.
"Schools may not be able to do anything about it unless texting is happening during school hours," said Rodgers. "But, legally, they could file harassment if they could prove it by texts."
Bill Spano, Collier County Principal of Alternative School Programs, suggests parents be diligent in talking with children and be willing to back it up with consequences if students don't abide by rules and guidelines.
"You want the attention of a teenager today, (you) take their phone," says Spano. "Texting is how this generation communicates and it has made students more accountable for their comments."
Spano also raises the concern that texting is hurting teens' verbal communication skills.
Guidance counselors and teachers share his concern. The shorthand associated with modern technology isn't grammatically correct or appropriate in formal communication. Christy Kutz is the director of student services for Collier County Schools. She advocates advance lessons on using technology in the same manner parents teach children to drive before giving them a car.
"As parents sometimes we forget to give kids training wheels for technology," said Kutz. "We need to remind kids that informal communication, like texting, has its place, and that does not include homework assignments, report writing or job applications."
"I sit at Starbucks and watch teens sitting together, getting little face-to-face interaction because they're always texting," said Rodgers. "It can impact their interpersonal skills." Texting could limit teens' ability to empathize and communicate in healthy ways with others, according to Rodgers. Socials skills such as eye contact, response to social cues and healthy communicative behavior can be hindered by texting.
"With texting you can miscommunicate things," she said. "It's not as clear as someone meeting face-to-face and it can impact teens' self-confidence in healthy communication settings."
Kutz says the importance of parents' roles as overseers in how kids use the technology is often neglected. This may be because most parents are also dependent on texting. A quick text to Mom or Dad that it's time to be picked up or confirming a teen caught the bus is much faster than calling.
When texting gets out of hand, such as with bullying, sexting or other infractions, experts say the answer is the same: Tell an adult.
"Text bullying, for example, is something as parents and educators we can't ignore, and that's part of the proactive conversation," she says. "The message to children should always be to tell an adult."
Setting limits
Some private schools in Collier County, such as Village School of Naples on Goodlette-Frank Road won't allow students to bring phones to school.
Collier County public school students are allowed to have cellphones on school campuses, but students may not use cellphones during school hours. The Collier County School system code of conduct also states that all kinds of bullying, including "cyberstalking," is a punishable offense.
Parents need to have their own code of conduct for their children's cellphone use:
Tell your kids what your expectations of texting are and explain the proper use and purpose for giving them the technology.
If texting has already gotten out of hand, such as the child having been caught texting during class or bullying, make sure their texting behavior has consequences.
Support your child's school in its efforts to keep technology from being a classroom distraction.
Model the behavior you impart on children. If you tell kids not to text at dinner, abide by the same rules.
Remember it is okay to set limits, including something simply like putting your cellphone on the counter during dinner.

Today's sociologists may argue over the degree of his originality, but to the casual student of poor, forked humanity Goffman consistently provides an eye-opening, touching, and frequently harrowing look into the meaning of our behavior, especially our behavior in cities.
At one point in The Presentation of Self he notes that "There is hardly a legitimate everyday vocation or relationship whose performers do not engage in concealed practices which are incompatible with fostered impressions." Insincerity and inauthenticity haunt us all. But sometimes people possess what Goffman emphatically calls "spoiled identities" or "stigma"—and these they must live with or try to hide: time spent in jail, for instance, or being a successful prostitute. Stigma (1963) examines the nature and difficulties of a damaged life.
Goffman first distinguishes between "an undesired differentness" that "normals" can see, such as a physical deformity, and those that can be hidden from the public, such as impotence or a criminal record. "In the first case, one deals with the plight of the discredited, in the second with that of the discreditable."
While the discredited, depending on the "obtrusiveness" of their infirmity, have to spend their psychic time in managing "tension" generated during social contacts, the discreditable instead must manage "information" about their "failing." Thus they constantly need to decide whether "to display or not to display, to tell or not to tell, to let on or not to let on, to lie or not to lie, and in each case, to whom, how, when, and where." This often leads to what is commonly called "passing," trying to appear as a "normal." As a result, the branded individual becomes hypervigilant, a constant "scanner of possibilities," and often grows "alienated from the simpler world in which those around him apparently dwell."
For the most discreditable, existence can readily become nightmarish and Kafkaesque: a man or woman trying to pass must live with repeated doubt over whether his or her secret is truly hidden. One can never be sure. Ever increasing subterfuge ("in-deeperism"), the leading of a double life or even a double double life, may result, not to overlook the possibility of every sort of blackmail. And the more people who even suspect anything shady, the more treacherous the situation. As Goffman says, "It may be safer for a bank teller to dally with his wife's girlfriend than to go to the races."
Above all, for those with something to hide, the "information connectedness" of their biographies becomes a stress point. Whereas, in The Presentation of Self, Goffman highlighted the need for performers to play multiple roles, here he underscores the safety of a clear, unilinear presentation of one's past. Any gaps in the lifeline—due to incarceration, for example, or hospitalization or closeted homosexuality or an ongoing adulterous relationship—must be disguised or accounted for. Who among us, then, ever wholly escapes the consequences of some form of stigmatization? No human heart is untroubled, and we are all lamed in some way.
Consider "On Cooling the Mark Out" (1952), the youthful Goffman's first truly distinctive paper. While its title derives from the argot of grifters and con artists, its theme is, to invert Boethius, the philosophy of consolation. The essay surveys the myriad disappointments we all encounter in business, in courtship and marriage, in all our urban and suburban relations. Sooner or later, each of us will be the mark of time and circumstance and dashed expectations.
At the end of most swindles, Goffman writes in his introductory pages, the criminals simply disappear with the mark's money. But sometimes a gang feels it necessary to assuage the anger and bereavement felt by the victim, usually to avoid reprisals or to discourage undue attention from the authorities. And so one of the cons—still thought to be a "friend"—remains behind to "cool the mark out." His job is, essentially, to commiserate, and then "to define the situation for the mark in a way that makes it easy for him to accept the inevitable and quietly go home. The mark is given instruction in the philosophy of taking a loss."

Found November 20, 2012 on The Outside Corner:
PLAYERS: Hiroki Kuroda
TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
The Yankees have re-signed starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda to a one year, $15 million deal. Earlier today, it was reported that Kuroda was likely to either return to the Bronx for 2013, or head back to Japan. 2012 was Kuroda's first with the Yankees, and he turned in another season that has been typical of his career since coming to America for the 2008 season. In 33 starts and a career-best 219 2/3 innings, Kuroda posted a 3.32 ERA and had a 3.27 strikeout to walk ratio, right in line with his career rate of 3.22. But Kuroda will be 38-years old in 2013, and there's always a chance that his health could completely fall apart. With just a one year deal, the Yankees aren't hamstringing themselves for the future. But $15 million (plus incentives) is a nice chunk of change for a guy who will pretty much top out as a four win guy. Of course, the Yankees can afford that, and somewhere in the $15 million area seems to be the going rate for a four win post-arb starter n...

George Everett says he recently had a knock at the door - someone asking him to buy a magazine subscription to help with college.
"He told me he was raising tuition to work his way through college. I asked him what college and he couldn't really tell me." said Everett.
"That's a very classic line and a lot of times when we have had people use that, it has turned out to not be a reputable business," said Michele Mason with the Better Business Bureau.
She said door-to-door scams are big business for thieves.
Every year, thousands of complaints get reported to the BBB and Mason said they typically fall into the same schemes.
"The areas we see would be sales of magazines or books, cleaning supplies, or alarm systems." added Mason.
I just told him, I wish you good luck but I can't help you," said Everett.
The BBB warns door-to-door scams may turn into much more like crooks actually wanting to take a peek inside, check out your belongings and come back later.
Beware when sellers try to rush a deal.
Check out the company to make sure it's legitimate.
After you've checked them out and you feel like giving, use your credit card.
You can dispute it and get your money back from your bank if there is an issue later.
