King Kong is coming back to Universal Orlando
Written by Robert Niles
King Kong is set to make its return to the Universal Orlando Resort. The great ape, star of movies from the 1933 Fay Wray original to the 2005 Peter Jackson blockbuster, once made a home at Universal Studios Florida, before the Kongfrontation ride closed in 2002 to make way for the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster. When Kong returns, it will be to Universal Orlando's other theme park, Islands of Adventure.Tweet
We've known for some time that Universal Creative designers have been kicking around ideas for the Return of the Kong. As a result, theme park fans for months have been spreading rumors about a new Kong ride in one of the parks or the other. But ideas are worthless until they become reality. Lots of "blue sky" attraction ideas never make it to development. When parks start filing for permits with local authorities and start hiring contractors to develop the plans, that is when an idea become a project worth reporting as fact. That is when parks are putting real money behind an idea.
We appear to be at that stage now with Kong. Universal Orlando filed a permit application with the City of Orlando this week for a demolition project to clear space for either the new Kong attraction or possibly for a fifth hotel on the Universal Orlando property. We don't know for certain which project this permit represents, but we've heard from enough other sources within the industry to confirm that both projects are happening.
In addition, multiple Universal team members have reported seeing markers that suggest impending demolition work around the old Triceratops Encounter space in Jurassic Park, which is the land next to which industry sources have said a new Kong attraction would go. Frankly, space seems tight on that side of Jurassic Park with the show building for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey encroaching into much of that land's old empty space, which is why we've been skeptical of rumors that Kong would go in on that site. (Oh, please don't let this just be a Kong-topped polercoaster.) There's more space for a new attraction on the other side of Jurassic Park, near the new Cabana Bay hotel.
Universal lost the original version of the Kong animatronic attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2008 when the soundstage that housed that encounter on the park's backlot tour burned in a major fire at the studio. Universal ultimately decided to replace that attraction with the film-based King Kong 360/3D encounter, directed by Jackson, which opened in 2010.
With demolition on schedule soon, construction on Orlando's new Kong attraction, whatever and wherever it turns out to be, could begin once Diagon Alley opens to the public this summer. And development of the fifth hotel should be expected to begin not long after Universal wraps up its fourth hotel, the Cabana Bay Beach Resort later this spring.
Expect this as the new normal at the Universal Orlando Resort. As one major new attraction development wraps up, a new one will begin. As one new hotel opens, construction will start on the next. Meanwhile, new developments continue to begin over in CityWalk, too, beyond the new restaurants and shops that Universal Orlando already has announced for this spring and summer.
What are you hoping for in a new Kong attraction — or a new hotel — at the Universal Orlando Resort?
Readers' Opinions
From Rob Pastor on March 7, 2014 at 12:11 PM
A combination of a Kong AA with the 360 screen effects plus other scenes with a slow moving track seems to be the latest rumors. I'd like to see that. OU & OI have been reporting the last few months, though, that the proposed site is behind the River Adventure falls & restaurant area.That area has also been marked off recently. The Trike Encounter area, they report, will have some type of Jurassic Park attractions.
From 126.96.36.199 on March 7, 2014 at 12:17 PM
Man oh man, what am I not looking for? I can only assume that Universal, whatever they decide on for this attraction, is going to put the same effort and attention to detail into the new attraction that they have with other recent projects like the Harry Potter areas and Transformers.
I am curious as to what has changed recently with Universal. The Orlando parks seemed basically unchanged for a long time, and now it seems there is never a time when something new is NOT being built. Is there just a lot more cash available for development, or is there just a new focus on parks that used to not be there? Why wait until now (2009 or so) to start putting in so much development to become a major competitor to Disney?
From Robert Niles on March 7, 2014 at 12:45 PM
BTW, I rephrased a clumsy sentence about the location of the Kong attraction from my original version. I meant to shoot down the idea of the attraction over by the old Trike site, but my original phrasing suggested that was where it was going, instead.
From N B on March 7, 2014 at 12:56 PM
I have to say it will be nice when there are mo more construction walls at these parks... Its getting to be a bit much, even for me.
From Daniel Etcheberry on March 7, 2014 at 12:57 PM
Great news, but why locate the ride inside Jurassic Park? Is Universal changing the entire land into Skull Island?
From Rob Pastor on March 7, 2014 at 1:01 PM
To the questioning poster: Comcast purchased the park. Universal's mantra is now, basically , if you build it they will come. Especially after the huge success of HP1.
From edwin roman on March 7, 2014 at 1:02 PM
Kong!!!! 8th wonder of the world....oh boy...I missed the old one, and even though that ride had shut down issues, and long lines, it was a favorite..I enjoy the new one as I have seen the video on you tube...islands needs a few new attractions. and, Jurassic park is one of them. Not every one wants to go on the river adventure when its cold out in the winter time here so for 2-3 months, heck no, I won't go...But, lets get kong going...anything to pump up islands is going to be worth it. And, to start with the 8th wonder of the world, modern style, I am all in.
As for a hotel, why not make it more top end, so that when you pay, you get the all access room pass...the cheaper cabana just does early entry....and make the new one a great theme, like potter...lets do this guys!!!
From Marlon Benavides on March 7, 2014 at 2:03 PM
Robert did I just read this correctly? Did you say they're building a 5th Hotel at Universal? Where exactly How big? and Opening Date!!! Sooo cool!!!

TH Creative,
Yawn is the drawn out process New Fantasyland is :P KONG YEAH!! WOOOT!! :D
From Annette Forrest on March 7, 2014 at 4:17 PM
I wish they would build a Harry Potter themed hotel. My family would stay there every time we are in Orlando and would never stay at a Disney resort again.
They could do it one of a few ways:
* have the hotel look like Privet Drive, the Dursley's home. And every room could be a suite, complete with a cupboard under the stairs with a murphy bed in it.
* Azkaban -- a hotel themed to Azkaban prison. It would be more dreary and spooky than a regular hotel, but it could be fun for all the Potter fans.
If they built a Harry Potter themed hotel my kids would go nuts.
From TH Creative on March 7, 2014 at 5:18 PM
Great ... It's a theme park attraction where I narrowly escape being killed by an enormous ape ... or a t-rex ... or a dragon ... or a giant robot.
How ordinary.
Last August I offered up a discussion thread titled "How Long Will Theme Parks Be Regarded as Viable Entertainment?"
I invest great hope in the "park as a platform" model. I truly hope that Diagon Alley at Universal Studios and Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom will achieve that approach to themed entertainment -- and SUBSTANTIALLY raise the bar.
But the "grab the rights to a pyrotechnic movie franchise and build a manic ride vehicle" approach has been done to death.
Again ... yawn.
From Robert Niles on March 7, 2014 at 5:46 PM
To TH's point, Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and Star Wars Land (should WDI do it right) are places where people can cosplay and spend the day within the lands themselves. They inspire a level of audience interaction far beyond simply waiting in line, riding a ride, getting a snack and moving on to the next land.
As much as I like the Kong 360/3D and the Kongfrontation ride before it, no, I don't think we'll see a bunch of Kong fanboys/girls getting into this IP the way that they do for Potter, much of Disney's IP, and even The Simpsons (thanks to all the new food).
But if Universal delivers something along the lines of what it did for Transformers -- fun ride, engaging visuals, and enough narrative conflict to hold it all together -- it'll have another hit. Not a game-changing blockbuster, but a solid, respectable hit.
From James Rao on March 7, 2014 at 5:53 PM
Only issue I have is that the Jurassic area of IOA is pretty swell as is... wish they were fixing the Toon Lagoon instead. Maybe it will be next after Kong. Otherwise, a new King Kong attraction sounds fun. Although I seriously wonder if the franchise (I use the term loosely here) has any pull left outside of old fogies like me?
Do you think the the new hotel will offer Universal Express?
From TH Creative on March 7, 2014 at 7:09 PM
Um, "a solid, respectable hit?"
Are we discussing a major theme park attraction or the latest musical offering from Robin Thicke?
From 18.104.22.168 on March 7, 2014 at 6:22 PM
I'm glad Universal is pumping so much time, thought and money into the parks. And I couldn't be more pleased with the new additions over the past few years.
That said, with all this effort, would it really be so hard/expensive to improve/keep up current areas/attractions? So there is more consistency in quality and presentation?
Marvel Island and Suess Island both DESPERATELY need a coat of paint. Moreso than any other areas, those colors should POP! They've all been drab and sun faded for so long now...
And how hard would it be to PLUS some of the current attractions? The final leg of E.T. has had a fallen, droopy black drape for years. The pre show videos in the Hulk queue have done of the worst animation and voice acting I've ever seen/heard. The MIB headquarters look so bare in the queue. Another alien or two? Heck even a handful of costumed employees as humanoid aliens walking through at intervals would help liven up all that dead, white space. Maybe a new Dino or two on the River Adventure?
Basically the awesomeness of the new stuff is starting to really underline the cracks in the seams of the (otherwise still great) old stuff. Seems that for a fraction of the cost of a new attraction/land that numerous existing things could be plussed.
Better walk around characters would be another big improvement.
And although it does look like there are some strong new food options, they have GOT to step up their game on the quality of the counter service food.
I'm so glad that they've finally decided to offer at least one "value" resort (though have thought for years they should just but all the motels on Major Blvd, theme them and offer them as on-site, official Univerals" to allow more families to have a more immersive experience when they can't afford a $400 a night deluxe resort.
This may sound like griping. But it isn't. I love Universal and love how much effort they are putting into great new attractions. But what I'd really love is for them to spend just a pinch of that effort into other things that would improve the park experience as much or more than any single new ride (Potter, Kong or otherwise...)
From 184.108.40.206 on March 7, 2014 at 6:24 PM
I hope this will be universal's answer to expedition everest, with giant AA to boot. Working AA of course.
From 18.104.22.168 on March 7, 2014 at 6:47 PM
I hope the ride is outdoors and have it be like Indiana Jones and dinosaur
From 18.104.22.168 on March 7, 2014 at 7:20 PM
Love that Kong is coming back, but also love that nothing is leaving to make room for his comeback.
They're doing a great job of balancing replacements and additions. We go to universal 3-4 times a year, and there is always something new each time.
From Phil B. on March 7, 2014 at 7:44 PM
So will this be just a stand alone attraction, or will they try to cram a whole Skull Island land in the park? Space seems so limited to flesh out something substantial aside from the one attraction. Even though I'd like to see a Kong attraction make a return to the Orlando resort, in this case I rather just see a new Jurassic attraction get built to coincide with the new movie that has been rumored to be moving forward. Real interested to see how the whole thing will play out.
From TH Creative on March 7, 2014 at 8:16 PM
I imagine it will "play out" as a story where Universal guests will board a quiet ride through the jungle ... until something goes horribly wrong.
Kind of a nice change of pace for Universal Creative, eh?
From 188.8.131.52 on March 7, 2014 at 9:05 PM
PLEASE not a Potter Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I can take ANYMORE Potter!!!!!!!!!!!
From Phil B. on March 7, 2014 at 9:52 PM
That's most likely a bulls eye on how the rides story will play out, no argument there. I'm curious as to how this attraction will find a home thematically at IOA. Looking at IOA on google maps, there's just nothing left with a large enough footprint to get a Skull Island area inside the gates. Shoe horning it into the Jurassic area just to add another big ticket attraction to the parks line-up is lame and goes against the concept of the park. I would much rather see them add another experience to the Jurassic Park area. Perhaps this ride would be best suited as an anchor attraction in a new land at a 3rd gate.... hmmmm ;o)
From Apple Butter on March 7, 2014 at 11:04 PM
TH Creative says....
I imagine it will "play out" as a story where Universal guests will board a quiet ride through the jungle ... until something goes horribly wrong.
Disney imagineers don't do this too? Everyone used to do this but at least Universal/Comcast is bringing e ticket rides now almost every year. Rides that don't follow that scheme either. Your thinking of the Jungle Cruise.... that was created like what 50 years ago? People are showing up for the new things at universal too. If you build it they will come and they have since HP.
New hotels, restaurants, e ticket attractions, a water park, and plus rumors of another park? I'm seeing a change in Florida and sure does not have big round flappy ears on it either. You are one of the few that would yawn at this. I guess you don't want change but your previous threads seem to want change? I'm perplexed.
We'll see you later from the Universal Fan Club....
U N I..... I is for Imagination V E R.... R is for Real E ticket rides not a lame Mermaids ride... S A L.... L is for looking in the back mirror at the mouse who's coughing on everyone's dust. What's that spell kids? That spells a change in Florida.
From TH Creative on March 8, 2014 at 6:12 AM
Note to Apple Butter: The only thing more cliche than another dark ride where the guests are chased down by a giant beastie is an attempt to turn a TPI thread topic into another Disney vs. Universal battle.
And for the record earlier in the thread I expressed great hope that Universal's Diagon Alley and Disney's Avatar will successfully raise the bar using the "park-as-a-platform" approach.
I've no doubt that the Kong attraction will be exciting. I'm sure it will maintain the success that Universal orlando's model has been enjoying.
I'm just hoping that the medium (themed entertainment) will eventually find another course.
From Apple Butter on March 8, 2014 at 8:16 AM
Yeah I was going a little off kilter there sorry. The model that you spoke of is used in theme parks around the world because it works for most. Although there is a lot of different models out there using just IOA as an example. Like being a kid again in Sues Landing, Acting like a fool under the comic bubbles at toon landing, spraying water at unsuspecting guests star water cannon at ripsaw, when your kid or any kid is chosen where their wand chooses them in Olivanders, or just letting yourself step into the pages of HP while enjoying a frozen butter beer. You can find these things to do at Disney or similar things. It's not all you're going along a calm path and something happens model.
From O T on March 8, 2014 at 1:29 PM
So TH Creative (the man with the same reply on everything so how creative is he) will open his own theme park with rides based on literature like Pinter, Shakespeare and Harper Lee.
Sure Universal has rides who start slow and then something happens and all ends well. Disney got rides that start slow, nothing happens and it all ends well.
What do you want? Theme park are the equivalent of a popcorn movie, that's what draws the most guests and that's why they stay open. If you want the equivalent of an arthouse movie theme park it would be empty and because of that not feasible.
From TH Creative on March 8, 2014 at 4:49 PM
OT asks: "What do you want?"
I Respond: Well at the risk of repeating myself and thus inviting thoughtful criticism from someone with your level of (ahem) insight ("the man with the same reply on everything so how creative is he") -- I am interested in the "park-as-a-platform" approach.
Area development. Sound, lights, landscaping. Live entertainment. Enhanced and dramatic environments for character greetings. Full interactivity. High density projections. Following a path and coming to a load platform -- without even knowing the you are standing in line for an attraction. Changing environments.
I look forward to Diagnon Alley. I have great hope that the immersive elements will set a standard for future themed entertainment development. I have the same faith in Disney's development of Pandora. My confidence in both projects has been expressed on this thread. Apparently you missed those comments, eh?
From Phil B. on March 8, 2014 at 5:18 PM
Diagon Alley will no doubt improve upon the immersive experience of HP 1.0. For it not to would be a step backwards for Universal in creating themed environments. Even if it matches HP 1.0, it's a misstep in pushing things forward in my opinion. They have to improve upon what they have done before and continue to innovate what should be expected in a theme park experience.
With Disney, I am REALLY excited for Pandora. I know people are down on the use of the IP in the park, and have mixed emotions on the film. To me, none of that matters. The potential this IP has, to truly blow the doors off of what people have seen before is immense. There has been so much evolution in theme parks creating immersive lands since HP 1.0 opened, that Pandora has the opportunity to be THE next generation, of the current next generation of theme park environments, much in the way Potter pushed things forward several years ago. When you take into account all that will have been learned from both HP lands, Carsland and New Fantasy Land, mixed in with Disney ingenuity as well as full implementation of next-gen tech. This could very well be the crown jewel of the whole resort. I just hope they don't cut any corners and cheap out on the experience. AK as well as fans of the WDW resort in general deserve something to truly crow about. I could also do with out the phased opening, ugh. I can see why it happened at New Fantasy Land, and I understand why they will do it in AK since they want to begin generating revenue on their huge investment asap, but there really is nothing quite like a true grand opening! It makes for a great show, it's good theater, and I think Walt ideally would have liked to do things that way when at all possible, being the showman he was.
From 220.127.116.11 on March 9, 2014 at 4:22 PM
I'm sure some die-hard Universal fans are stoked about this, but I'm disappointed that this expansion isn't a Jurassic Park Jeep Adventure ride.
Personal opinion aside, it also seems odd that Universal would choose to go this route with Jurassic World launching a new trilogy soon. It seems infinitely more marketable than Kong (no matter how awesome the attraction turns out to be).
From TH Creative on March 9, 2014 at 4:45 PM
Really enjoying Phil B.'s comments. It demonstrates the TPI community's interest in themed entertainment environments, while offering no recognition claiming any significance to bringing a (yawn) "respectable hit" (Kong) to Orlando.

Just a few hours ago the long awaited details of the first ever World Tour race in Asia were released. The 2011 Tour of Beijing will take place on the rolling roads between Chinas capital city of beijing and the famous Ming Tombs before retracing to finish at the Olympic Stadium (Birds Nest), where the race also starts with an 11-km ITT.
The race route is a rolling one, with the toughest racing expected to take place on stage 3, where the route scalps some 3 first category climbs, although all are less than 800 meter high. The scheduling and parcours of the race should ensure that Asia sees the best field ever assembled for a race on the continent.
5th October - Stage 1 - 11.3km ITT Olympic Park circuit
6th October – Stage 2 – 133km Bird's Nest – Men Tou Gou
7th October – Stage 3 – 162km Men Tau Gou – Yong Ning
8th October – Stage 4 – 189.5km Yanquin Gui Chan Square Olympic Rowing/Canoeing Centre.
9th October – Stage 5 – 118km Tian An Men Square – Birds Nest Olympic Stadium.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Happy is England! I could be content
To see no other verdure than its own;
To feel no other breezes than are blown
Through its tall woods with high romances blent;
Yet do I sometimes feel a languishment
For skies Italian, and an inward groan
To sit upon an Alp as on a throne,
And half forget what world or worldling meant.
Happy is England, sweet her artless daughters;
Enough their simple loveliness for me,
Enough their whitest arms in silence clinging;
Yet do I often warmly burn to see
Beauties of deeper glance, and hear their singing,
And float with them about the summer waters.

|Pierre Granjon1Christine Servière1Albert Foggia2
|This paper presents a method of reducing a sinusoidal disturbance through a periodic transfer function. First, a precise definition of the problem (transfer function and disturbance characteristics) is made. A control strategy that minimizes a quadratic cost function is next elaborated. Its good performances are then compared with a classical adaptive feeforward control method thanks to simulation results. It attenuates 90% of the disturbance power in simulation. The finality of this work is to decrease the vibrations of an electrical synchronous machine, and the method reaches a 60% attenuation rate on real signals. Implementation of this algorithm can then be envisaged.

The Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, set out a Bill of Rights that was designed to protect citizens from government. That includes the right to be armed.
They were self sufficient people and understood that only people who were sufficient unto themselves could be truly free.

Why do I need a gun? Simple: I might see somebody I want, or need, to shoot.

It's not enough to own a gun these days, nor is it enough to merely support the 2nd Amendment. I recommend that everyone join the NRA simply because if the government succeeds in taking our guns away, then nothing stands in the way of some whack president usurping all police powers and setting up an autocracy.

Ditto Euripides…
I'm not a "joiner." I keep to myself, and what I have in my house is none of anybody's business. I have NEVER donated to a political campaign or candidate. But NOBODY fights for our rights like the NRA, and while not 'perfect' they keep the fight simple. Its the 2nd Amendment - you would think the politicians had heard of it.
It took a lot to pry the membership fee from my hands, but I believe it was worth it. I got a sticker, and a knife...

Hey Race: The little knives the NRA gives out are great! The other year I got a nice little red-wood handled lock blade and ended up signing up my son so he could have one too.
But the real reason I like the NRA is that they actually do defend the 2nd Amendment. And yes, it's difficult for me to give up money to a lobby, but at least we get cool little knife thank you gifts for our efforts.
Obama only gives out stupid phones.... :-)

No high-speed rail? Pathetic.

We've got a new addition here in the studio… a custom built contraption affectionately nick named The Spinster. Spinster brought us lots of joy last week on it's first test-run of whirling-spattery goodness.
Perched behind a layer of foam core and decked out in his well-loved paint covered jeans Peter spun, splattered and whirled a few carefully selected toys round and round. The result is a new series in the making entitled "Toys" a mash up of everything from decapitated dolls to plastic power tools. A must see.
We've put together a little behind the scenes collection for you - this messy shoot based on the beauty of centrifugal force was too amazing not to share.
The new addition - say hello!
A few dolls were most definitely harmed in the making of these photos. Don't worry, we gave them an honourable send-off, so to speak:
Behind the scenes at their best - the studio was pretty covered in pastels by the end of day one…
Here's one of the final images from our 3-day session covered in paint - be sure to stop by the website to check out the full series.
Keep it clean people.

Give your mind a world of peace. Prepare your body for a world of war.
My name's Lawrence Atanacio. Born in the Philippines, raised in Hawaii (Kapolei) and Southern Cali (Harbor City). I like to find ways to better myself in any aspect on the daily. I believe in reasoning life with questions; not 'why', but 'why not?'. Blah blah blah, i'm your very typical kid. But if you wanna get to know me, ask me questions, anonymous or not and i'll most likely answer.
I made this tumblr to express myself, whether in the form of rants, quotes, music or videos. These are my thoughts and opinions and i won't get butt-hurt if you disagree. Just watch it, read it, listen to it, and like/reblog. Cause everything on this is something I think, I've experienced, or want to. check my tags; Lessons, quotes, and music.
A crown of laurel without death
The body is a slave
The body is a slave to its impulses. But the thing that makes us human is that we can control it. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed. we can cool off and clean up the mess we made. We can try to let go of what was and prepare for what will become of it.

ACPI, kernels and contracts with firmware
This ends up being a pain in the neck in the x86 world, but it could be much worse. Way back in 2008 I wrote something about why the Linux kernel reports itself to firmware as "Windows" but refuses to identify itself as Linux. The short version is that "Linux" doesn't actually identify the behaviour of the kernel in a meaningful way. "Linux" doesn't tell you whether the kernel can deal with buffers being passed when the spec says it should be a package. "Linux" doesn't tell you whether the OS knows how to deal with an HPET. "Linux" doesn't tell you whether the OS can reinitialise graphics hardware.

If you live in the Boston area and you're not from around here, you receive frequent reminders of your non-belonging. You can only grow into this place so far, and then you hit the limit. I'm fine with that. Being an interesting place to live as an outsider of long residence is part of what makes Boston not like other places. I'm already from somewhere else — Chicago, a bigger and rougher city, but much more welcoming to people from elsewhere — and it feels to me as if the brisk stiff-arm of Boston localism sets me up at just the right distance. You're close enough to appreciate the city's idiosyncracies, yet far enough to sustain a little healthy observational detachment.
But if you live anywhere long enough, the way of life there, the lay of the land itself, will sink into you. In matters of place-and-selfhood, as in so many other things, who you are creeps up on you. For a long time, you vaguely assume that there's a you who you're going to be when you grow up, and then you realize that you have been grown up for a while and this is it; this is you, pretty much for keeps.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.

Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
For two years, I studied all the Pinot Noir growing regions of the world and Benton-Lane is here because I determined that this area has the best climate to make killer Pinot. When Pinot Noir is grown in a cool climate like the Eugene/Corvallis area, it has two great qualities, a sexy, spicy character, and incredible fresh cherry flavors. This wine is packed with both. The 2007 vintage was not long and drawn out, so the wine has fresh and fruity cherry tones instead of riper blackberry – it's just plain yummy.
This ruby red wine is a must for fresh Pacific Northwest salmon, either grilled or sauced. It has the depth to accompany lightly sauced veal, or pasta dishes as well as smoked or grilled chicken.
Steve and Carol Girard have been owners of Benton-Lane since 1988. Carol and Steve shared a passionate desire to produce great Pinot Noir but decided their native California was probably not the best place in which to make it. Instead, they headed to Oregon where the cooler climate offered the possibility of producing Pinot Noir with better balance and structure.

most Wisconsin divers can attest,
a single factor lies at the heart of the state's extraordinary
shipwreck diving: unparalleled preservation. The Great Lakes
' cold, fresh water continues to keep many historic shipwrecks
and related artifacts virtually frozen in time. There are
shipwreck sites for every level of scuba diver as well as
snorkelers and kayakers. Mother Nature will, of course, inevitably
claim Wisconsin 's historic shipwrecks, but considering the
exceptional preservation of many sites well over 125 years
old, the process is arguably slow. The larger threat, and
the only one completely within our control, is human impact.
Beyond state and federal laws
protecting shipwrecks from looting, there are several efforts
underway in Wisconsin to foster shipwreck preservation and
encourage responsible diving on these non-renewable cultural
Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) and the UW Sea Grant Institute
are dedicated to preserving historic shipwrecks and facilitating
responsible diver access to these unique, non-renewable cultural
resources. Divers who visit these historically significant
and often fragile sites must take care to ensure that future
generations of recreational divers, the general public, marine
enthusiasts, historians and archaeologists have an opportunity
to enjoy and learn from them. With our help, the cold, fresh
water of the Great Lakes will continue to preserve many of
Wisconsin 's historically significant shipwrecks for generations
to come.
WHS has installed permanent moorings
on 16 historic shipwrecks in Lakes Superior and Michigan .
The moorings facilitate recreational access to the site, provide
a safe point of descent for divers, and eliminate anchor damage
to the wreck from boats that anchor at the site. The WHS and
the UW Sea Grant Institute have also produced three sets of
dive guides to 18 popular
shipwrecks around the state. The sturdy, waterproof slates
include site maps and short histories of the vessels, allowing
divers to take self-guided tours of the wrecks.

Chapter Abstracts
* The play begins as Bertozzo attempts to get the Maniac to confess to illegally impersonating a psychiatrist.
* Bertozzo confronts the Maniac with his arrest record, saying he's been charged a number of times for impersonating figures from a lawyer to a bishop to a university lecturer in psychology.
* The Maniac cheerfully admits that he has posed as everything Bertozzo suggests, explaining that he suffers from a mania for performing.
* He then points out that he may have been arrested many times, but he's never been convicted.
* Bertozzo, intrigued in spite of himself, asks if the Maniac has ever impersonated a judge.
* The Maniac speaks at length of his desire to do exactly that.
* As Bertozzo becomes increasingly angry and frustrated, the Maniac reminds him that he is bound by law to treat him (a diagnosed madman) with respect, or he is subject to punishment.

Police are trying to confirm the identity of a man struck and killed late Sunday night as he walked down the middle of a traffic lane in west Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City police Sgt. Robin Heiden said Monday the man, believed to be in his 50s, was wearing dark clothing when he tried to cross poorly lit 900 West near 150 South. An SUV driven by a 38-year-old woman hit him. The man was dead at the scene when paramedics arrived.

Heiden said the driver briefly left the scene by quickly returned and was fully cooperating with investigators. Because of that, it was uncertain Monday if the driver would face a possible hit-and-run charge.
The man had no identification on him.
Heiden said anyone with information on the victim and/or the accident is asked to call Salt Lake City police at 801-799-3000.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Let us first understand what is the First Information Report?
An information given under sub-section (1) of section 154 CrPC is commonly known as first information report though this term is not used in the Criminal Procedure Code (in short CrPC). It is the earliest and the first information of a cognizable offence recorded by an officer-in-charge of a police station. It sets the criminal law in motion and marks the commencement of the investigation which ends up with the formation of opinion under section 169 or 170 CrPC, as the case may be, and forwarding of a police report under section 173 CrPC. It is quite possible and it happens not infrequently that more information than one are given to a police officer-in-charge of a police station in respect of the same incident involving one or more than one cognizable offences. In such a case he need not enter every one of them in the station house diary and this is implied in section 154 CrPC. Apart from a vague information by a phone call, the information first entered in the station house diary, kept for this purpose, by a police officer-in-charge of a police station is the first information report- FIR postulated by section 154 CrPC. All other information made orally or in writing after the commencement of the investigation into the cognizable offence disclosed from the facts mentioned in the first information report and entered in the station house diary by the police officer or such other cognizable offences as may come to his notice during the investigation, will be statements falling under section 162 CrPC. No such information/statement can properly be treated as an FIR and entered in the station house diary again, as it would in effect be a second FIR and the same cannot be in conformity with the scheme of CrPC.
Take a case where an FIR mentions cognizable offence under section 307 or 326 IPC and the investigating agency learn during the investigation or receive fresh information that the victim died, no fresh FIR under section 302 IPC need be registered which will be irregular; in such a case alteration of the provision of law in the first FIR is the proper course to adopt.
Let us consider a different situation in which H having killed W, his wife, informs the police that she is killed by an unknown person or knowing that W is killed by his mother or sister, H owns up the responsibility and during investigation the truth is detected, it does not require filing of fresh FIR against H – the real offender who can be arraigned in the report under section 173(2) or 173(8) of CrPC, as the case may be.
Purpose and Object.
The purpose of registration of FIR is manifold that is to say
(1) to reduce the substance of information disclosing commission of a cognizable offence, if given orally, into writing.
(2) If given in writing to have it signed by the complainant.
(3) To maintain record of receipt of information as regards commission of cognizable offences.
(4) To initiate investigation on receipt of information as regards commission of cognizable offence.
(5) To inform Magistrate forthwith of the factum of the information received.
The principal object of the FIR from the point of view of the informant is to set the criminal law in motion and from the point of view of the investigating authorities is to obtain information about the alleged criminal activity so as to be able to take suitable steps to trace and bring to book the guilty.
Evidentiary value of FIR.
FIR is not a piece of substantive evidence. It can be used only for limited purposes, like corroborating under section 157 of the Evidence Act or contradicting (cross-examination under section 145 of Evidence Act) the maker thereof, or to show that the implication of the accused was not an after-thought. It can also be used under section 8 and section 11 of the Evidence Act. Obviously, the FIR cannot be used for the purposes of corroborating or contradicting or discrediting any witness other than the one lodging the FIR. It cannot be used for corroborating the statement of a third party. If the FIR is of a confessional nature it cannot be proved against the accused-informant, because according to section 25 of the Evidence Act, no confession made to a police officer can be proved as against a person accused of any offence. But it might become relevant under section 8 of the Evidence Act.
What you will do when police officer refuse to register FIR?
The police cannot refuse to register the case on the ground that it is either not reliable or credible (Smt. Gurmito vs. State of Punjab And Ors 1996 CriLJ 1254 P&H). Further, refusal to record FIR on the ground that the place of crime does not fall within the territorial jurisdiction of the police station, amount to dereliction of duty. Information about cognizable offence would have to be recorded and forwarded to the police station having jurisdiction (State of Andhra Pradesh vs. Punati Ramulu And Others, AIR 1993 SC 2644).
When a police officer-in-charge of a police station or any other police officer, acting under the directions of the officer-in-charge of police station refuses to register information, any person aggrieved by such refusal may send in writing and by post, the substance of such information disclosing a cognizable offence, to the Superintendent of Police under section 154(3) or to the Magistrate concerned under section 156(3) of the CrPC. It is the duty of the officer-in-charge of the police station to register an FIR when investigation under section 156(3) of CrPC is directed by the Magistrate, even when the Magistrate explicitly does not say so (Mohd. Yoysuf vs. Afaq Jahan, (2006), SCC 627).
Latest Case Law
Whether a police officer is bound to register a First Information Report (FIR) upon receiving any information relating to commission of a cognizable offence under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 or the police officer has the power to conduct a 'preliminary inquiry' in order to test the veracity of such information before registering the same?
The Supreme Court of India, in Lalita Kumari vs. Govt. of UP on 12 November, 2013 held that 'the police must compulsorily register the FIR on receiving a complaint if the information discloses a cognizable offence, and no preliminary inquiry is permissible in such a situation'.
If the information does not disclose a cognizable offence but indicates the necessity for an inquiry 'a preliminary inquiry may be conducted only to ascertain whether a cognizable offence is disclosed or not'. In cases where preliminary inquiry ends in closing the complaint a copy of the entry of such closure must be supplied to the first informant forthwith and not later than one week. It must disclose reasons in brief for closing the complaint and not proceeding further.
As to what type and in which cases preliminary inquiry is to be conducted will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. The category of cases in which preliminary inquiry may be made are as under:
(a) Matrimonial disputes/family disputes;
(b) Commercial Offences;
(c) Medical negligence cases;
(d) Corruption Cases;
(e) Cases where there is abnormal delay/laches in initiating criminal prosecution, for example, over 3 months delay in reporting the matter without satisfactorily explaining the reasons for delay.
The aforesaid are only illustrations and not exhaustive of all conditions which may warrant preliminary inquiry. A preliminary inquiry should be made time bound, and in any case it should not exceed seven days.
Punishment for giving false information.
Punishment for giving false information to the police is dealt with by sections 182, 203 & 211 of IPC. Even if such information is not reduced to writing under Section 154(1) of CrPC, the person giving the false information may nevertheless be punished for preferring a false charge under section 211 of IPC. A police officer refusing to enter in the diary a report made to him about the commission of an offence, and instead making an entry totally different from the information given, would be guilty under Sections 166A and 177 of IPC.

not as readily available. We still get large buildings for salvage, but that type
of merchandise quickly sells.
Decorative Arts
We also have a fine appreciation for antique and vintage decorative arts.
In this category, you will find antique oil paintings, 19th century
marble statues, brass and bronze andirons, Cincinnati Art carved pieces,
antique clocks, lamps, music boxes, antique advertising items, antique
pool tables, art nouveau statues, art tiles, and much more.

The vast majority of garden-related items at Wooden Nickel are of new manufacture.

salvage of large buildings in a regional area. For more information on Historic

you with any questions about buying, selling or shipping arrangements.

Marietta entrepreneur Lori Lite jumped into the shark pool and came out unscathed — and with $250,000.
In an episode of the ABC show "Shark Tank" Sunday, Lite showed off her line of books and CDs to help kids under stress and convinced real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran to buy 50 percent of her company for $250,000.
"I always had this dream of mine that one of my books would be held up on national television. I just never thought it'd be me!" Lite told me Monday. She hopes the infusion of funds and mentorship with Corcoran will allow her to market her expanding Stress Free Kids line.
The show is set up pretty simply: five successful "sharks" who have cash to invest listen to entrepreneurs seeking funding and willing to concede some (or all) control for cash. They show a product line or service and the judges give them offers — or not. For anybody with a business bent, it's actually a lot of fun.
ABC, in the episode taped last month, provided the back story. Lite, a mother of three, was stressed out with her kids and took stress management classes. She transferred those techniques over to her son, who had a tough time going to sleep, via a short story. It worked. From there, she created a line of books.
She then demonstrated her "progressive muscular relaxation" technique to the sharks. A couple seemed impressed.
Lite noted she and her husband sold 30,000 units out of her kitchen ($180,000 in revenues) and made a profit of $50,000 last year. She said she had a book publisher but decided she'd make more money on her own. She said she has sold more on her own.
At this point, she said afterwards, "I expected a feeding frenzy. I thought they'd offer me $1 million given how much I was helping children. That was the kind of confidence I had."
But the sharks started nitpicking her business, noting that if she had as broad a distribution as she stated (all the major chains and Amazon), why hadn't she sold more?
"What are you going to do with my money?" said one skeptical shark Robert Herjavec. "Your valuation is crazy!"
"I can't believe you don't appreciate what I've done," Lite said, exasperated. At this point, she said she really thought it was over.
But one shark offered $250K for 100% of the company. "I think you are a star," said FUBU founder Daymond John. He offered $250,000 for 51 percent of the company. (Lite said he had not indicated any interest at this point so that surprised her.) Corcoran offered the same amount of dough but needed only 50 percent, giving Lite a chance to share in the decision making.
Lite pondered with her husband via phone. He told her to play hardball. She countered with 40 percent for 250K. Neither shark budged. Lite ultimately relented and took Corcoran's offer.
Later, she said with no idea how the show would work. She was shocked by the 50% and 51% offers. (She had entered asking for $250K for 20% of the company.) "That was a curveball," she said. "Next season, people will know better." She worried afterwards that everyone would think she was a patsy when in fact, her deal was not terribly different from others so far.
The publicity from the show alone has propelled sales of her books on Amazon.com, where "Angry Octopus" jumped into the top 200 Monday.

She got a pretty fair deal and will be able to grow with the capital infusion. At least she didnt give away the farm and with her new investor she can open doors thru his network that she never would have been able to before. That in itself is worth alot of money. She did good in a less than pleasant environment.

The "sharks" should have watched the last episode of Penn & Teller. I have to admit that when I started reading I was hoping that this was some post Shark Week program and she was put in a tank of Great Whites.

Glad the sale of her product is doing well. I hope her equal partnership 'with someone she never met' does as well. Sorry, I'm just skeptical of anyoneon a reality show 'giving away/investing' money.

asudst1992 – you are an idiot. She sold a half of a business for $250k which actually helps children. You are here blogging at 4:26PM when perhaps you should be working or owning your own business. Oh let me guess, now is when you reply and say "I've sold lots of business, blah, blah, blah." You're just a typical moron that likes to bring people down when they success. P.S. Please post a link of the last any major television or print publication actually had anything good (or bad) to say about you. Yeah, I didn't think so. But keep watching show to make yourself feel good.

You guys should watch the UK version of this show. Its been going on here for many years and its WAY better than the US one. Firstly because its professional yet entertaining (like the first season of The Apprentice). Secondly, the ideas are MUCH better than what I've seen in Shark Tank.

I love the BBC Dragons Den. This Shark Tank just seems way too produced. I don't know, I guess they think us Americans can't enjoy something unless it has some kind of gimmick to it. This lady should've pushed for a 49% sale. Doesn't matter, most of these deals fall through after the show is over while they are trying to get the paperwork together and realize the contestant couldn't back up their claims on paper.

Oh my God, Tyler. I haven't heard the teeth or food thing said about Great Britain in … I don't know. About an hour? Last time I was reading some blog comments section descend in the terrifying inferno of the "socialized medicine debate" US v UK etc etc.
You are a comedic genius. You're Sid Caesar. You're Lenny Bruce doing the Cha-Cha-Cha with Richard Pryor! You're Bob Newhart giving Lewis Black a piggy back to the big dance! You should have your own primetime show.
I'm laughing so hard at your glorious display of sarcasm. Teeth. Food. Women. Will the world recover from your outburst of original wit? The subtle delivery of words? Is the ghost of HL Mencken smiling up/down upon yonder words?
No one has heard the quip about British food and teeth in the history of the entire universe have they? HAVE THEY?
I mean, bringing out hackneyed lazy insults about the limeys that you probably got from watching Simpsons episodes – Big Book of British Smiles? – rather than, you know, actual reality. Brilliant.
In other news.
Shark Tank is okay, but Dragons' Den UK is better. (So Tyler IS right. Ha ha. Me still laughey)
US reality TV has a tendency to make everything shiney, drop in huge obtrusive music cues and generally try to yank the heart strings more. It loves its narrative and narration and looks of shock, i.e. look at that terrified expression on doo-dah's face!
Shark Tank is another format that plays by these rules. It's been thoroughly Mark Burnett-ized, but having said that, it ain't bad.
But just as with Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, the UK's version is better because you don't need all the bells and whistles on. The inherent drama of the format and the casting of the people matters more than anything else. Everything else is just rhubarb and if there's too much of it, it's annoying. And rhubarby.

I enjoy rocks of all kinds from step one of going out rock-hounding and finding them to bringing them home and cutting and polishing them to using them to create unique jewelry with them. I especially love wire wrapping and beading with cabochons.
