First car
Hi guys this is my first time on the Cadillac forums website, but anyways I'm getting my first car at the end of the month or next year mid January. And of course I'm in love with Cadillac because that's the brand of cars I grow up and the type of car I learned how to drive which was my dads 97 Seville SLS, but anyways I have taking a huge likening to the Cadillac Catera and I have been looking and me and parents have found a 1998 Catera. And yes I did my research about the Catera and know that its a rebadged of the GM opel omega from their brand in gremany and I have read a lot of reviews and most them have been bad, my best friend told me to check you guys out. My thing is with all the bad reviews and what not should I move on or what because I really like this car not because its a Cadillac because its a gas saver it's a nice size for a first car, I mean my dad knows anything and everything about a Cadillac and a Cadillac northstar he said it is a bad car but then again it could be a good car he said its up to me what I want and I said I'm ask around can any of you guys give me what you think about the Catera please. Thanks
While the Catera isn't the worst car in the world when it comes to reliability and maintenance, it is FAR from an Accord. You will have to put out money to keep everything working as it should. As a first car, I'd say stay away. The N* powered cars are a big nono as first cars as well. They were expensive cars when new, and that's what maintenance and repair costs reflect, not the used car price.
In all honesty, the only Cadillacs I would really recommend for a new owner/driver, are the 4.5/4.9 powered cars of the late '80's to mid '90's, or an older RWD Deville or Fleetwood. But judging by your interest in the Catera, those aren't really your style.

I don't mind driving a deville because my grandmother has her 98 deville which looks like she just got it, but If I go to something that big and huge on gas I would like to have a Seville. Because that's the car I learned how to drive in and my dad still ones till this day I did see a 03 Seville STS for $1980 that I liked.

Re: First car
Both get 26+ MPG Hiway, around 23-24 city.
I also have a '97 Catera, same mileage as the DeVilles!
I've owned 4 Caddys, all got really great Fuel mileage.
(Best was '88 Deville, 27.7 MPG on a 700 mile trip, never dropped below 25 MPG City)

I can tell by the price alone that it will be a money pit, don't even look at that car....I sold my 2001 STS for $1,600..had 233k on her and needed some TLC...That car for that price is a red flag on its own, the suspension alone (F55 Magnaride, same as Corvette/Ferrari) would cost more to replace than the price tag. A 2003 STS in good shape should be $5k-8k depending on mileage and condition.
And as far as a Catera is concerned, run! Don't buy one for your 1st car, in fact, don't ever buy one...It's not even a Cadillac, if you truely love Cadillac's you'd get a real one. Besides Catera's look like a Cavalier and a Malibu made a baby, then that baby turned 18 and changed their name to Cadillac. It just should've never happened.
I bought a 95 STS for my 1st car for $5k at 19, had 135k on her...had her for a year and put in a new fuel pump, spark plugs, and a brake booster, drove about 35k in that year. The N* powered Cadillac's are not junk IF they are maintained correctly. But one in your budget will most likely be a neglected money pit.

LOL, but really me and my moms have made a 5k price rang and nothing over that, it does sound like some what of a money pit. but where i'm looking for my car is on Craiglist and as well as Autotrader.com ETC, But most people on Craiglist are selling because they need the money me and my moms called a guy a few days ago and he was selling he's Caddy because he need the money just to pay bills. I also have my dad who knows a lot about Cadillac's and most of all the Seville.
Re: First car
While I don't recommend it as 1st car I love my Catera. She treats me mean some times but overall she's a joy. I have a 2001 and have had to replace the Heater Bypass Valve twice, the camcover gaskets once and the Crankshaft Position Sensor once. Replaced the headliner due to drooping too. Upgraded the tail/signal lights to led, the front brake calipers to GTO and pads to Corvette. Didn't need to, just wanted to. Rebuilt the front suspension with polyurethane bushings, new tierods, and balljoints. After 100,000 miles I had to. It hasn't been cheap but the pleasure I get from clipping the apexes on a mountain road makes it worth it to me. The link will take yo to another Catera site with my overview of the car (good and bad), suspension and braking upgrades, and other info. My suggestion if you go ahead with a Catera is to buy a 2000 or 2001 Sport. Better stock suspension, FBW throttle, and improved oil cooler and timing belt tensioner.
that sounds like a lot did you have to replace all that back to back or was it like every two months something would happen where it had to be replaced, and how much did it cost to replace all that all together. The Catera we are looking at the only issue is that the speed dome is not working other then that the car is in goo shape.

Re: First car
You know when you buy a used car, you will allways have to replace something, with Catera,s there are good ones and bad ones, it's just there are more bad ones then good, am lucky, I have a good one, 97 with 124K on it, but it runs very nice, yes I had problems but most were easy fix, you eather buy a new car with a car payment and no car problems, or buy a used car, with no car payment, and problems here and there to fix,
"elvin315"]Bought Nov 2006 (48,000 miles)
The Catera we are looking at has (95,000 miles)
I mean isn't that what goes into buying a used car, we already know about 2 to 3 months after getting the car the tires and other stuff had to be replaced. Once we get the car we would have to fix the speed dome

Re: First car
well all I can say is if you buy it, look for a good shop or someone who works on cars at a decent price, I myself found someone on crag list who comes to my home for $25 hour to do minor repairs, you will need one no matter how good the car runs now, Catera's will have minor repairs to keep them going.

Just so you know that going in and have a cash reserve for repairs, have at it.
WARNING:The timing belt/tensioner service should be performed every 50 - 60k miles. At 95k you're overdue. If the tensioner seizes and the belt snaps your engine is toast. It's an interference engine meaning the valves will crash into the pistons. Not good.
I have no clue what to do, I like both the Catera and the Seville STS, and from what I here the Catera it's not the good choice the Seville would work out better....

Re: First car
Just buy a used toyota! The craptera will bleed you dry!
There are some good and bad used cars, however when new, the Craptera was a bad car. As a used car it is awful!

This guide is to help with repairs on the iPhones 3G and 3G[S].
The steps are virtually the same on both, and I will mention where they differ. I will be working on a 16gb 3G[S] - lets get started.
Ok first thing - the supplies you will need:
- Small phillips screwdriver
- Suction cup w/ pull ring
- Case opening tool
I also recommend having a nice clean and clear work space, and to lay the screws and parts out as you pull them to keep them in order and to make sure you don't forget or lose anything when putting the phone back together.
Now to start work on the phone itself. First thing you will need to do is take out the two small screws at the bottom of the phone. They are on both sides of the dock connector.
Once both screws are taking out take your suction cup and stick it towards the bottom of the screen by the home button and lift hard enough to pull it up but not to hard to rip it right out of the phone. Now if you don't have a suction cup, no worries you can do the same thing pry putting your pry tool in between the glass and the bezel and prying up gently.
You will see that the screen is connected to the logic board there are 3 ribbons holding it in place. They are numbered 1, 2, and 3. The first two just pop right out, but ribbon 3 has a latch that will need to be lifted up and the ribbon will slide out. Now the screen is disconnected. If you just need to replace the screen stop here!
Now that you have the screen disconnected you have can have a look at the guts of the iPhone. (Not too much there for something that is so amazing huh?) Looking at it you will see 8 screws that you can see have a copper circle around them. One of them is hidden under the "do not remove" sticker - if you remove this sticker to get the screw, you have voided warranty. Take out the 8 screws. And pop the last of the numbered ribbons (the only major difference in the whole take apart is that the 3G only has 6 ribbons and 3G[S] has 7).
Once you have taken the screws out and popped the ribbons take the logic board out I find this easiest by pulling from the bottom and lifting up like illustrated below.
The battery is just glued into place - there is a pull tab to lift. I find that the tab is too weak for the glue so I take my pry tool or a butter knife and gently pry up on the battery til it pops off.
Next is the dock connector - these are very easy. There are 3 screws; one at the top and 2 down by the bezel just unscrew all 3 and lift it out.
Now for the hard part: the flex ribbon. There are 10 screws holding it all in place 2 for the power button, 1 for the headphone jack, 3 for the volume toggle, 2 for the mute toggle, and 2 to hold the ribbons in place. Take your time with these and don't get frustrated - they are a pain and at weird angles. Also, the screws are very small and short so try not to lose any.
Looks pretty empty now:
You're almost done! All that's left is taking the LCD off the digitizer. There are 6 screws holding them together; 1 at the top and 5 along the side there is tape covering them. Just peel that away to expose them.
Once all 6 are out what i like to do is at the bottom of the LCD is a little metal tab gently left up on it with you figure nail and just work the LCD out of the digitizer. Take your time not to crack the LCD - too much pressure will cause this.
And congrats! You have completely taken apart your 3G or 3G[S]. To put back together, read backwards.

Well, as i understand the rule, you can use 6 colors to paint with + the shirt-color (that shows where you leave out any color).
Just recognized, that this is your second submission: You know that gradients from one color to another are not allowed? You have to use halftones instead. Check this out: Woot-Blog Design Tips (Halftones)
I hope you'll resubmit it. I like the design :-)

I happen to be under the impression that it'll work without the banner, you should just remove it and resubmit it. Everyone may not get right away that it is an intervention, but there's no question that it's an awkward moment for the Wolf and that's what works for this image. Coincidentally, it also makes this shirt more kid friendly without it.

That's silly. A pentagram is a symbol used by pagans and Wiccans representing life, elements, etc. Christians have used it as well in the past and it's also on a few country's flags. I don't think Morocco is a country of Satanists.
It's a symbol of Satanism if one point is pointing downwards, usually in a circle with a goat head.

We've seen many dazzling new consumer technology products launch in 2012, with many more expected by year end. Amid the bang of the Microsoft Surface, iPhone 5, and Google Nexus, it would be easy to miss the quieter product launch today of the larklife, the second product released by Lark Technologies, a 21-person startup located in a Mountain View shopping center. As I've been researching my soon-to-launch report on the bigger story of wearables, Lark caught my eye, and I was completely blown away by the demo I saw of their new product last week.

Barry McDonald from Mottingham, south-east London, presented Jack Wilshere with Arsenal's Disabled Supporters Player of the Season 2010/11 Award at the Gunners' match against Sunderland on Sunday, October 16.
The Arsenal midfielder topped the poll with Robin van Persie finishing close runner-up.
Barry, 26, has been an Arsenal supporter since he was four years old and was drawn out of the hat from the many disabled supporters who voted for their Player of the Season.
Barry has been watching Arsenal with his father since their time together at Highbury, taking his seat in the disabled enclosure next to the away dugout at the Gunners' former home.
Barry, who is now a season ticket holder at Emirates Stadium, never misses an Arsenal game and was delighted to present Jack Wilshere with the award. "It's an honour to present Jack Wilshere with the Disabled Supporters' Player of the Season trophy – he really deserves it. We wish him a speedy recovery."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Date: 31 October 2013
Venue: Melia Hotel, Hanoi
Workshop on Enhancing business engagement in promoting business integrity in Vietnam
Jamie Meacham, Procurement Services of PwC Vietnam, will deliver a speech on "Mitigating corruption risks in supply-chains" at this Workshop. Businesses are exposed to corruption risks in the supply chain on a daily basis, and increasingly recognize the associated costs and risks. It is important for all businesses to work together to tackle this problem. What can be done to address corruption in the supply chain?
The Anti-corruption Dialogue (ACD) between the Government of Vietnam and the international development community was established in 2007. This year's ACD in November 2013, will focus on the role of businesses in anti-corruption.
The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the Government Inspectorate (GI) and the British Embassy in Hanoi jointly organise this workshop to gather the views of business which will be used to: (a) input into the 12th ACD; and (b) inform future engagement with the business community and help to collectively identify practical solutions to tackle corruption in business in Vietnam.

Eighteenth-century art is elegant, graceful, and intimate, created to please rather than instruct. Historians term the dominant style of this period "rococo," derived from the French word rocaille (rock work), a pebble and shell-like decoration first used in French and Italian gardens.
Art of this era turns away from the grandiose, theatrical, and religious tendencies of the preceding baroque style toward a manner characterized by sinuous, curling lines suited to the sensuous, cultured lifestyles of the well-to-do during the reign of King Louis XV of France.
The David Owsley Museum of Art's 18th-century works include portraiture, sculpture, and religious and mythological paintings as well as sculpture and decorative arts by artists including Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, François-Hubert Drouais, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Francesco Guardi, and Jean-Antoine Houdon. Works from this era are installed in the East Gallery.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Montpellier in the Champions League on Wednesday, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and French journalist Julien Laurens for their views.
League champions tend to focus upon ball retention and dominate games, but Montpellier's stunning title triumph last season was achieved with a more basic, direct style of football. Olivier Giroud was their target man, and he received long balls before laying the ball back to onrushing midfielders.
Replacing Giroud was an impossible task. The signing of Argentine Emanuel Herrera was a brave move, but after some disappointing performances in front of goal, Rene Girard has looked elsewhere, using Souleymane Camara up front in the Champions League.
He's a pacy winger by trade, so it's roughly the equivalent of Arsenal using Gervinho as a centre forward – and this significantly changes Montpellier's strategy with the ball, as they look to Camara darting into the channels, rather than to a classic No 9 with his back to goal.
In a 4-2-3-1 system, the holding midfielders will stay in position, playing simple passes from side to side. On the flanks, Girard likes variety. He'll probably use Remy Cabella – a creative midfielder that ex-Gunner Robert Pires has recently praised – on one flank, in conjunction with a quick winger on the opposite side.
Unquestionably Montpellier's main threat is their No 10, Younes Belhanda. A product of their youth system, Belhanda had a fine partnership with Giroud last season, and enjoys breaking forward from midfield to receive knock-downs from the main striker.
Although he operates high up the pitch, he's capable of coming deeper into midfield to receive possession from the holding players, and likes to initiate one-twos in order to get himself into goalscoring positions. He comes alive near the edge of the penalty area, where he can pass neatly, dribble rapidly or shoot early. Keeping the Moroccan quiet is Arsenal's main defensive job on Wednesday.
Belhanda opened the scoring in the reverse fixture with a cheeky chipped penalty – he's done that on more than one occasion, but his spot-kicks are usually slid low to the goalkeeper's right. However, if the keeper moves too early, that's when he pulls out the Panenka.
Montpellier are already out of the competition and the match is more important for Arsenal than for them. They're looking for a good performance because they've been struggling this season. There's a lot of tension around Montpellier and they could do with a good performance. A win at Arsenal would kick-start their season and calm everything down. I expect them to be very competitive.
It was a big surprise when they won the league last season. They lost Giroud and they're struggling to find another goalscorer. Tomorrow a young player called Gaetan Charbonnier could start but he hasn't got much experience. Last season everything went their way and that's not the case this season. They've had injuries and suspensions to key players.
Remy Cabella was really good in the first game and will be their main player. He's very skilful, he's got pace and is exciting. He's the guy to watch. Arsenal struggled against him in the first game and I think Vermaelen against Cabella will be one of the key duels of the game.
Defensively, there is often a lot of space behind the Montpellier back four and they have also struggled to dictate play in midfield. I think they'll defend well on Giroud because they know him well but whoever plays wide for Arsenal will hold the key to the game.
I think Arsenal will win 3-1.

Very good advice.,,,,I've always been one of the "grey men" and it is the way to go. Even with my fancy hot rods,, I'm seen out and about enough,, I'm not even given a second thought,, even in them.
The Grey Man is always invisible in plain sight.
The Grey Man is totally aware of his environs, his own capabilities or lack thereof, his weaponry and his levels of competence with that weaponry. He constantly strives to improve upon both his capabilities and competence. In public, he is always respectful, even to the point of obsequiousness if the situation calls for it. He always appears to be just a little confused by what is happening around him, while in reality he is alertly doing a tactical assessment.
The Grey Man NEVER draws attention to himself by word, dress, action, or mannerism. The Young Grey Man is dismissed as a wimp, the Older as a doddering old fool. The Grey Man derives great inner satisfaction from having this portrayal of himself accepted by all he meets, for it means he is succeeding in his disguise of his actual persona.
The Grey Man is a private man. He practices with his weaponry in private, or only with his fellow Grey Men, always in a secluded location. If he must resort to use of a public facility, he schedules his practice for times when he is likely to be the only one there. At such times he would probably wear bright clothing, to be remembered only as that guy in the red jacket and sunglasses, a quite different person from his usual persona. If right-handed, he would always occupy the leftmost station on a NRA bullseye pistol range, with his back to an observer, or the rightmost one for riflery or combat pistol practice. He would not have his name emblazoned on clothing or equipment, nor would he have any noteworthy affiliation proclaimed on his cap. Hes just a guy. Comes every Wednesday morning for his coffeebreak. Always pays cash.
The Grey Man does not drive a pink Cadillac with steer horns on the hood, NOR does he drive the biggest mutherin 4X4-with-all-the-bells-and-whistles BOV in the lot. The older his vehicle is, the rustier, the less likely it is to draw attention (or to be stolen, for that matter). This vehicle is, under its exterior, scrupulously maintained and in excellent running order. If pulled over by authority on the basis of appearance, it can be shown to meet or exceed all requirements under licensing laws, and an obsequious co-operative manner precludes a search under the seats. The Grey Man does not speed on the highway: cruise control is his friend. So is the Highway Patrol: he waves to any he sees. If he travels the same route constantly, at the same times, The Grey Man becomes a fixture and can be dismissed from conscious observation.
It helps the Survivor to build up this persona of The Grey Man gradually and over time. The anti-gun sheeple neighbors will quickly rat out the Patriot who is always loudly declaiming about his Rights and what will happen if they try to take my guns. The Grey Man goes far out of his way never to offend anyone, imitating the duck which appears calm on the surface of his pond whilst paddling like hell under the surface.
Be seen as conservative in all you do. A Survivor is a Grey Man, and that little old grey man alone over there in the corner is probably a Survivor!
And that young guy next to him? Just another wimp? Or are they both watching each others backs?
Making the other guy waste precious time in assessing the situation is a big part of staying alive. Practice being grey now, while there's time to build your skills
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand

gray man or gay man? ya may have to buy a pink wing to fit in now days? LOL!
stick a few Obamma 08 stickers on your ride --hell you'll get by even if the car is a 2012!
Yeappers, the time it has a come about when stuff is going to become real weird.
We are about to see the prices for ammo jump out of reach for most. May see Hi-CAP mags go out of stock right before they are deemed illegal to sell.
If my job did not feel shaky right now and I did not have the car repair bills stacked up on the credit card, I would do a mass MAGAZINE buy up right now. But, I picked up a few for good safe measure anyway none the less.
I have long said that the best camoflague is to be invisible right out in the open in front of everyone.
I believe that will become even more important when and if the SHTF.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
I don't care who knows. Let's find OUT who's real and who's a bser.

16? wow, congrats.
First, I'll start this by saying, if you want to get into trouble, it will be easy, you can find it anywhere, but at 16, you may be a fish out of water so to speak. Most frosh are to begin with, then throw on your younger age, plus your a commuter, so you're going to be different than the normal student. Its neither good nor bad, per say, just different. I'd recommend limiting the amount of partying you do (if that's your thing). I'll assume your fairly responsible, and it sounds like you have your future pretty well thought out, so this is likely not an issue. I've seen more than 1 frosh drop out of college after 2 semesters of partying hard, and spending little time in the classroom. Its easy to get distracted in college by the social scene that may or may not have been different than what your used to.
With that said, you've got 15 hours, so plan on 15 hours of studying a week (which depending on the classes may be way more than you need or not enough) that's 30 hours of your week chaulked up. I'll agree with others about getting involved in clubs or something on campus. I wish I had done that more, its a great way to meet people with similar interests. However your still going to have free time.
My advice, is to get down to the career services and see if they have any sort of connections to local companies that could use 10-20 hours a week of help in something related to your field. Or even if its not in your field, there is usually a lot of student jobs around campus, some that require little more than answering a phone and allow you to study b/w calls. Point is, get work experience that you can add to your resume. Even better if its in your field. Even if its for minimum wage, or no money at all, that experience will put you a step ahead of other people in your field 2-3-4 years down the line.
Depending on your financial situation, given your age, I'd recommend to take things a little slower, 5 or 6 years, but as many internships or field related work experience as you can get. I'd look into the study abroad program, and start planning now to spend a semester taking classes in another country, preferrably somewhere where their language (I'm thinking spain) could be advantage to your potential law enforcment carreer.
good luck, enjoy.

All the recent advances in medical science cannot entirely counter the skyrocketing costs, operating inefficiencies and outright fraud that plague the healthcare industry today.
The burden is on providers and payers alike to find resolutions to these challenges that threaten both patient outcomes and profitability. But addressing the problems that haunt healthcare requires a level of insight that most organizations lack.
The reality is that to gain this perspective, healthcare organizations need to look no farther than their patients. After all, the healthcare consumer holds all the cards with respect to both immediate outcome and ongoing concerns.
The key is tapping into this data in real time or near-real time and then extrapolating from this the key details about the current patient experience to better forecast future capacity requirements. Essentially, what healthcare organizations need is an accurate, effective and easy to use predictive analytics tool set to gather, assess and model how patients view their healthcare exchanges.
This information will provide the critical context providers and payers need to continually improve processes, cut out waste and abuse, and ultimately improve patient care and outcomes.

Receiving a phone call in Gmail
In addition to calling a phone number in Gmail, you can also receive calls if you have a Google Voice account. If you already have a Google Voice account, it must use the same username as the Gmail account you wish to receive calls in. If you aren't a Google Voice user, yet, you can upgrade for free if you are in the United States.
To receive calls in Gmail:
- Make at least one outbound call from Gmail.
- In Google Voice, navigate to Settings under the gear icon.
- In the Phones tab, click the check box next to Google Chat.
If you wish to edit the settings for this forwarding phone, click the Edit button. You can disable Gmail as a forwarding phone simply by unchecking the box next to Google Chat.
When you receive a call in Gmail, a call window will appear with a ringtone. If you do not hear the ringtone, please check to make sure your sound is not muted. To accept the call, simply press the Answer button. You can ignore a call by clicking the Ignore button.
Call screening
You can screen calls you receive in Gmail by clicking the screen button. Doing so will allow you to listen to the caller as they leave you a voicemail. If you wish to interrupt and actually answer the call, simply click the Answer button.
Switching phones
Additionally, once you are on a call you can switch the Google Voice forwarding phone you are using to talk right in the middle of the call by pressing the * key. For example, if you answer your call in Gmail and wish to switch to your cellular forwarding number, pressing * will cause your cellular forwarding phone to ring for you to complete the call.

Lookin' good!
Something to consider: There is a school of thought that says "Aim small, miss small." Right now, you are aiming at the center of a large target (I assume you can't see, and therefore aren't using, a single specific aiming point on the target when you shoot these groups). Even when you add the black/green square overlay target, it's still rather large, overall.
If I might make a suggestion: try using a smaller aiming point to focus and concentrate your group size. Something like a 3" colored circle/sticker, or even a small square of brightly colored masking tape, centered on the target. Line up the sights in the conventional manner, then try to hit the small colored area, not just the large white "kill zone" on the silhouette. Remember to focus on the sights, and let the target (and the specifically colored area on it) blur slightly. You can still find the center of a blurry colored blob, but if the sights are fuzzy/blurry, then your alignment will suffer (and the group size, along with it). Hold as steady as you can while squeezing the trigger gently and smoothly all the way through, and let's see what happens to the group size. Quite possible you'll see some improvement (but probably not a dramatic one, as you're already doing pretty well).

Happy Music Monday! As you all know, later this week is Halloween, so Scott's decided to open up the floodgates! He's made a little playlist full of those songs you most enjoy on October 31st. Here's one of his favorites (try not to be too scared!)
Alice Cooper - The Ballad Of Dwight Fry
When one of the first people to support you is Frank Zappa, you're obviously doing something of worth. But Alice Cooper didn't really take off until he started wearing straitjackets and dressing in women's clothes. His image as a horror-rocker is so cemented that even when performing a traditional love song with The Muppets it still ends up spooky-style. Sad for the poet inside the man, but GREAT for people who want to make Halloween playlists!
Get your creepy, goofy, Monster Mashy hits ready, because after the jump, you'll find four more Halloween hits… and then it'll be YOUR turn to help out!
Before we pass around the peeled grape eyeballs, remember our new Spotify playlist will be featuring a great selection from last week's Music Monday comments. The theme of the mix this time is Dark Songs and play it loud! It might help add to the scary! But before you go there, stay here and listen to our current Music Monday. Scott's next choice is...
Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper
Horror Rock wasn't really a genre when Screaming Lord Sutch crawled out of the London swamps and scared those poor teenage girls. But he's one of the originators, and he's beloved of such stars as Jimmy Page and Jack White. Maybe not the kind of thing you'd put on the stereo at Christmas, but this is Halloween, baby! Let him have his moment in the lack of sun!
The Cramps - Goo Goo Muck
Lux Interior is one of the few men on the planet who can look like he's on black and white film even when he's in color. That makes him a Halloween natural, and that's why anyone who's anyone this time of year runs to the Cramps records. "Goo Goo Muck" is the story of a were-blob on the prowl, which makes it just monstrous enough for my purposes. The jangling guitar is merely a bonus. And speaking of guitar...
TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me
I've read this song is a tribute to blues guitarist Howlin' Wolf but feel that rush of energy in the intro? It's not possible to be more transformative, and that's got to be how it feels when turning from human to beast. And since the video has stop-motion werewolves in it, I say we count it for the Halloween playlist. What do you think? TOO LATE, I'VE DECIDED!
Kate Bush - Experiment IV
Imagine if the military accidentally made a weapon so pure, they themselves couldn't even turn it off? That's the plot of this Kate Bush song, more of a short story with a chorus than a pop hit. Think of it as an origin story for a haunted House (get it?) and you'll see why it made my list. I just wish the video had been in black and white.
There's plenty of Halloween color in our Turntable.fm room, so stop in for spooky Music Monday enjoyment. And feel free to add your own scary scary monster sounds in the comments below! Novelty hits are fair game, but please, don't just post a big list and hog them for yourself. Other people like making suggestions too! And Halloween is about giving as well as getting!
"Monster Mash" by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt Kickers!
It hit #1 on the Billboard pop singles chart when initially released in 1962, and went back to the top 10 in 1973!
nice use of movie clips
Here's Bobby!
I started collecting links last night! So excited!
Yay Satanic hippie rock! Here is a link to a playlist for the entire 1969 Coven album
Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls. The first song, "Coven in Charring Cross," will definitely tell you if you want to listen to the whole thing. The album ends with a black mass, so if you need one of those, just go to the last track.
Yay Satanic progessive rock! Here is a link to a playlist for the 1970 Black Widow album Sacrifice. It is like a Hammer film you don't need to watch. If you let's do the time warp again! to listen to the whole thing, please just listen to Come to the Sabbat, because it has the best chorus ever.
Favorite one-offs:
Vivian Stanshall's "11 Mustachioed Daughters:" a spookier studio version with Bonzo Dog, and a
looser, odder live version with biG GRunt (Roger Ruskin Spear plays a leg theremin; he is my favorite).
The Incredible String Band's Witch's Hat.
The Pretty Things' Baron Saturday
Tyrannosaurus Rex's One Inch Rock (has a witch in it, anyway)
Lydia Lunch's cover of Alice Cooper's Black Juju (aw, should have included it last week)
I think of this 80s gem for Halloween songs:
I'm assuming someone else will do all the Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath heavy lifting (Scott [if I may call you that], you made a good beginning but Billion Dollar Babies is probably the best Alice Cooper Halloween album). If not, I will come back and post more tonight! Yes, that is a threat!
Here are some:
"Werewolves of London" by Zevon
"Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson (and featuring Vincent Price!)
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr (though he never mentions the number--555-2368)
(I don't know if these were tedzilla's post since youtube is blocked at work)
"Grim Grinning Ghosts" from the Haunted Mansion at Disney World

You may call me that! And Alice Cooper is hard, because he DOES have a lot of good songs, but not all of his songs are straight up about horror. That's why I went with Dwight Fry for the theme.

And he revisits themes a lot, so there's the whole aspect of "WHICH song about necrophilia should I choose?!" Actually, that's a trick question because the answer is "I Love the Dead."
I'm taking the easy way out for now. I'll come up with something a little more creative once I get off work.
Both of these songs come from an album that gave me nightmares for months to come. Not Safe For Work or Humanity. Pretty disturbing tracks there.
If you ever have 2.75 hours to kill sometime with nothing better to do, I suggest turning out all the lights and putting this album on with some headphones. Always a fun time.
So many good, spooky tracks for Halloween:
What, no "Spooky Little Girl Like You"?
Here are videos for a couple already mentioned:
Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" (I miss Warren Zevon).
And, while this isn't exactly Halloween, it's certainly creepy. Let me please introduce the Rolling Stones, "Symphony for the Devil".
First off, *TA-DOW* How ya like me now, b--.... er, Mr. Lydon?
Really got a kick out of those satanic hippy tunes mossygreen. My first satanic choice is from a classic NWOBHM album, 1983's Melissa by Mercyful Fate - At The Sound Of The Demon Bell.
Nice spooky intro on this one. Followed by a sound that to me is like butter... that Thrash... Destruction "Curse the gods" w/ Lyrics - YouTube
Also have to include one from the first album I heard that creeped me out. Venom - In League With Satan - YouTube Super campy now that I'm not in 6th grade.
Sticking with camp, you *cannot* go wrong with The 3-D Invisibles. The 3-D Invisibles - Cool Ghoul - YouTube
A few more thoughts:
Because it wouldn't be an occasion without horrible disco, Amanda Lear's Blood and Honey
Even though I have mixed feelings about Eva O. because she was at some point involved with Richard Ramirez, I love Angel of Death
Why, yes, Lydia Lunch did cover Spooky. It goes about as well as could be expected.
Barry Dransfield's The Werewolf
Final Alice Cooper picks:
live version of Unfinished Sweet
Billion Dollar Babies, featuring DONOVAN!
live version of I Love the Dead
TV special version of Black Widow
As a special treat, if you're wondering why so many people wanted Vincent Price to do a spoken word piece on their album: Witchcraft-Magic-An Adventure in Demonology.
Almost forgot. Gotta have this one. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I put a spell on you - YouTube
strawhousepig wrote:Almost forgot. Gotta have this one. Screamin Jay Hawkins - I put a spell on you - YouTube
Also: thanks for keeping this going! I thought of three more songs this morning myself.
Also, again: I see your "I Put a Spell on You" and raise you Alligator Wine.
And, to keep the spirit going:
Bauhaus' The Hollow Hills live
Reposting Comus' Drip Drip and adding Diana--First Utterance is kind of a terrifying album
There is always room for Caravan's C'thlu Thlu.
Creepy, crawley, creepy creepy crawly crawly
Boris The Spider (The Who)
and how could I forget Ghost Riders in the Sky?
How about theme music?
Love this funky tune from the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack. Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab - The Lion & The Cucumber - YouTube possible NSFW cover art.
Then there's this little ditty. :D

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you're not me because you listen to '80's thrash, but The Lion and the Cucumber is my favorite song off that album, so, I'm not entirely sure.
Man, we were just talking about Tubular Bells yesterday at work, too.
Here's Lemmon Princess by The Leaves. It has the Devil.
I'm saving one more Halloween song for midnight.
The Shaggs want you to know IT'S HALLOWEEN!
(2:43 PM, 10/29/2012) CowboyDann WON'T LET GO OF SWANS
Saw them live on 9/11 I'll never forget! so sorry if I'm still on a bit of a swans high from that show.
As promised tough here is something a little more creative.
Sonic Youth - Halloween
Here is one more
And A bonus one about ghosts in general.
Artist: Radical Face
Album : Ghost
Song : Haunting
How could this not fit theme?
Wonder if CowboyDann would appreciate Sunn0)))? Me, I get tired of waiting for music like that to start.
Not spooky, but it's still halloween!
I know nobody's going to be around anymore, but here's what I remembered while at work:
Warren Zevon, Excitable Boy
Cream, Strange Brew
Paul Williams performing The Hell of it, from the great Phantom of the Paradise, on an episode of The Hardy Boys for some reason? Bonus: Somebody Super Like You/Life at Last from Phantom of the Paradise itself, in a nice send-up of era-appropriate Alice Cooper (it's probably wrong to love Peter Elbling/Harold Oblong as much as I do).
James Chance and the Contortions (sort of), I Danced with a Zombie
New York Dolls, Frankenstein
Donovan, Season of the Witch
Okay, I'm done. I'll bring up all the same stuff next year. Happy Halloween, everybody!

ESL JOB TIPS - Against scammers and before you prepare to leave
WHEN you get a job, its always so exciting! You are about to go to a new place, with a new culture and language, meet new people and embark on a life changing adventure. However, please follow these simple rules before you jump the gun… be safe, have fun, bon voyage my ESL comrades! ☺
(1) See if the school has a website. If they do and it is in a language you understand, read it carefully and OBJECTIVELY (leaving your excitement behind for a moment) and make sure that everything adds up and that it looks professional. It must have a phone number you can call, not just an email address.
(2) Check the email address. This is one of the MOST important things you can do. As we all know, anyone can easily get a free hotmail (or other account) and pass themselves off as anyone they please. Most importantly, make sure that the email address matches the website, for example http://www.abc.com.jp would have an email such as email@example.com. Look out for emails coming from countries other than the country of potential employment, ie: firstname.lastname@example.com, which is Russia, when you are supposed going to be employed in Japan.
(3) Trust your gut feeling
(4) If its too good to be true, guess what? It is likely a scam. This is why it is so important to leave your excitement at the door when doing your research.
(5) Have a friend call the school. If you can get a friend who speaks the local language to call up the school, they will be able to check it out for you better than anyone else. If you do not have a friend that speaks the local language you could (a) go on to a site like Gumtree or Craigslist and find a language tutor, and pay them to make the call for you. Or (b) (and cheaper yet) go to that country's embassy or consulate in your city, and tell them to call and check it out for you.
(6) Do not get airport pick up. If it is a scam, once you are in their car, it will be near impossible to get away from them if they are unethical/dangerous people. Unless of course, you know for sure that the school is legit, especially one of the more well known schools.
(7) Your apartment. Its better to get a cab from the airport to a hostel for the first night, or a cab directly to the school where you can meet the people at the school, and from there have them take you to your apartment. Unless of course, you know for sure that the school is legit, especially one of the more well known schools. Again, this might all seem a little over the top to some people, but after what almost happened to me, I feel it is better to be safe than sorry. You cannot turn back the hands of time, but you can prepare and make sure you are as safe as possible. If for anyone, do this for your parents. I know it will give mine such peace of mind knowing I am taking all precautions
(8) Better to be melodramatic and safe than sorry. My mother often tells me I have a wild imagination, but after what almost happened, I am thankful for my wild imagination and curious mind, haha. Its better to go out of your way and know that you'll be safe, than regretting you did not take those small steps. Wasting a little bit of time now, is definitely well worth it.
(9) Warn others! If you suspect that a fake email has been sent to you, contact the authorities and post the info on ALL the ESL Job websites. Please take the time, as you could save other people from bad experiences. We should all look out for each other.
(10) Don't send paperwork. Don't send them your passport copy, passport photos, or any real info about yourself, until you have checked them out. You don't want your identity stolen or these people to know anything about you.
(11) Don't worry be happy! Well I had to add this one! Haha. Because after all I don't want to scare you too much, but I do just want you all to be aware and safe. Have fun on your new adventure!

FEMA's guide to reporting suspicious activity openly encourages Americans to spy on each other.
Suspicious Activity Defined: (Where everyone in the US could be a terrorist, does this sound familiar? Regimes like Nazi Germany or the USSR encouraged the public to spy on its citizens.)
The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative defines suspicious activity as observed behavior reasonably indicative of pre-operational planning related to terrorism or other criminal activity. IACPs primary research found that most individuals rely on a combination of factors when determining if an activity, behavior, or object is suspicious and merits reporting to the authorities. These factors are:
Concern about the potential for harm to the community. (How could a person holding a camera harm the community?)
Belief that the information may be useful to law enforcement. (A persons beliefs are enough to label someone suspicious?)
Personal observation of activities. (CITIZENS SPYING on one another)
Personal instinct. (If a cop or citizen has a feeling youre suspicious, thats good enough?)
The agreement of others nearby that something isnt right. (Paranoia 101, if your spouse or friends have a feeling, youre a suspicious person, thats good enough.)
FEMA's guide to reporting suspicious activity openly encourages Americans to spy on each other. | Pakalert Press
Black Blade: When I was working in Myanmar and Laos I had government "minders" who had to accompany me anywhere I went. They also had "minders" in every neighborhood on every street to watch others and report back to their superiors. The groundwork is being made for the same thing here in the good olld USA with the Patriot Act and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Just thought you guys might like to know that the Snake Eyes Gloves from the GI Joe movie appear to be Under Armour Clean Up II Adult Batting gloves with the logos removed and the "under armor" name blacked out.

Just thought you guys might like to know that the Snake Eyes Gloves from the GI Joe movie appear to be Under Armour Clean Up II Adult Batting gloves with the logos removed and the "under armor" name blacked out.
Also, Snake Eyes' boots are Oakley SI Assault boots, the same boots used by John Connor in Terminator Salvation.
woow Art...thanks for sharing
but Art, i've snake eyes picture with different gloves (see attachment), but i don't remember where did i get that pic..
Base of a lot pictures and poster i had, the gloves of Snake eyes are like Assault Tactical Flight, you can find them on ebay very cheap. I don't know why they put another kind of gloves on San Diego Comic con Mannequi, but i saw the rest of the costume and looks greats, but i still looking for more pictures of the sword section, the leather part and the belt.
I will apreciate any help.
I will have a ton of pics up on Tuesday for you. Interesting about the glove change. I have no explanation for it. Maybe these are stunts or maybe last min pieces for the manneqinn. From what I can see the other parts appear to be correct.
and for the shoes...is the sole looked way too thick for Oakley SI Assault boots? :confused
It is a Oakley SI Boot, not doubt.
Thanks Art Andrews for the photos, i will wait on tuesday. I had some photos from other members too, they are on SDCC 2009 right now. But i still looking for some little details. I hope with your photos i find the answer.
The rest of the costume (except the gloves) on the mannequi is original.
I will post some photos of my leather work, and the original knives, I have one real and one Dummy.
What details are you looking for? I can try to shoot them!!
Very close photos of The belt, all the pockets, how is in the back area on the belt, the sword section in the back. With the photos i try to find know it is velcro or snap bottons they using to hold the items ..thoses hard detail i'm looking for.
You know like Boba or Jango cd reference type.
Here some photos of my items that i have.
In the sword belt some section i did leather single loop lacing, it takes too much time to do it. But in other section like the original (i almost sure for the photos) i did the leather double lacing and that take almost double time than the single one. that's why i combined both style. They look alike.
Here is my both knives, you can find on ebay.
Just took pics.... With a ruler.
Really, that should be great.
MAULFETT, here's some from JP05 on the RPF. Is this the type of stuff you're looking for?
Thats alotta lacing!
I have about 150 pics of each character, Snake Eyes and Stormshadow. We did take a few with a ruler and even took out Stormshadow's pistol... which is when they started hollering at us and ran us off. It is killing me that I am not able to upload them until tomorrow night!!!
Awesome, Art !!!! Can't wait to see them. :D
Some of the pics turned out great, some not so great, but I would guess I probably got the most complete set out there. Hopefully it will be helpful to anyone wanting to make the Snake Eyes or Stormshadow costumes. We are driving back tomorrow but as soon as I get home I have to turn around and head up to Vegas, so I may not be able to upload the pics until very late tomorrow night.
can't wait to see 'em Art...:)
Yes photos like that, they are greats. Not problem Art...i wait.
Yes it is a lot lacing 99centtaco, average calculation is around over 40 feet of lacing of all the Snake Eyes items , including pockets, gun holster ect......
When i do the double leather lacing, one feet long, it takes me about two hours to do it, depend how happy i'm in that moment :wacko, multiply by "40" , yes "80 hours" of lacing on you free time because i'm busy father , student and worker, on the firts two hours you start hate the needle and the leather:angry. But the result is pretty.
I just counting the hours of leather lacing, not the time of cutting all the leather parts, stiching holes made by CHISEL and a hammer, (make sure the holes are on the straight line), glue, velcro ect.........
But i almost done, except for some details, the belt, and pockets. But for the premier of the movie i will use a black military belt with nylon pockets, they look ok, in that way when i have extra time i will make the rest of the leather parts.
I have been working on this costume on researh and hand on by seven months now.:wacko
"What is a victory without a sacrifice?"
Here are the few I was able to get.:thumbsup
Wao great photos Cruzer, thanks.
:thumbsup thanks for sharing Cruzer

Been advised that fibreglass cast from silcone mold with outer fibreglass jacket is the way to go.

Green Bay Seeks Revenge to Start Homestand
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After splitting two close road contests, Green Bay returns home on Tuesday to begin a three-game homestand at the Resch Center, hosting Youngstown State at 7 p.m. The three games are the final three of 2011-12 for the Phoenix, which sports an impressive 9-2 record at the Resch this season.
Green Bay will be seeking revenge against a Youngstown State team that defeated it 77-47 in Ohio back on Jan. 22. The Phoenix won its next two contests and has won three of five since that season-worst loss to the Penguins. YSU made 12 three-pointers and outrebounded Green Bay by seven on that day.
Tuesday's game is important as both teams fight for seeding with just a couple of weeks remaining before the Horizon League Tournament. At 9-6, YSU sits just two games out of first place and has an outside chance of getting the double bye that comes with grabbing a top-two seed. With four league games remaining, head coach Brian Wardle's team is hoping to move up into the top six and secure a first-round game at the Resch Center.
The Phoenix success at home can be attributed to a strong offense it has shown of late and the ability to pull out close games. Green Bay is 6-2 at the Resch Center in games decided by 10 points or less.
Green Bay has scored 74 points or more in four of its last five games since losing at YSU. Sophomore Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and freshman Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) have scored in double figures in every game since Jan. 22, with Brown tallying double digits in seven-straight games.
• INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay leads the all-time series with Youngstown State 23-7 and has won 14 of the 15 meetings in Green Bay. Youngstown State's 77-47 victory on Jan. 22 ended a five-game winning streak for the Phoenix. The lone Penguin win in Green Bay was on March 4, 2003 when YSU won 65-61 in the Horizon League Tournament.
• THE FIRST MEETING: The first meeting between the two teams was a low-point of the season for the Phoenix, with YSU posting a 30-point win just over three weeks ago. Green Bay was outscored by 30 points from the three-point line, with the Penguins hitting 12 triples and the Phoenix going just 2-of-9 from long range.
• TOP THE CHARTS: Sophomore Alec Brown blocked two shots against Milwaukee on Feb. 4 to move into sole possession of Green Bay's all-time blocks record and now has 139. The 7-foot-1 Brown became the program's all-time leader in the category in just 54 career games. With his three blocks against Wright State on Friday, Brown broke the own single-season blocks record he set as a freshman in 2010-11. He now has 72 in 2011-12.
• SWAT TEAM: Led by Brown's record-breaking sophomore campaign, Green Bay has tallied 112 blocks this season and needs just eight blocks to break the program's record of 119 set in 2010-11. This season is the fourth time that a Phoenix team has blocked at least 100 shots (1991-92, 1997-98). Eleven different players have blocked a shot this season, with junior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) and freshman Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) helping Brown the most with 18 and nine blocks, respectively.
• HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay is 9-2 at the Resch Center this weekend as it begins a season-ending three-game homestand. The Phoenix has outscored opponents by nearly eight points a game and hit nearly 40 percent from long range at home. Brown leads the team in scoring at home (15.0) while Kam Cerroni (24-46) and Steve Baker (14-28) have hit a combined 38 three-pointers at the Resch Center.
• CAN I SEE SOME ID?: Freshman Keifer Sykes has an impressive stretch going since his 18th birthday, averaging 14.6 points and 4.3 assists per game in 11 games since Dec. 30. Since becoming eligible to vote, the country's second-youngest player scored in double figures in 10 of the 11 contests, with the lone exception coming with an eight-point game at Youngstown State. Sykes ranks first among Horizon League freshmen in points, assists and assist-to-turnover ratio and among the conference's 10 starting point guards, Sykes has the fewest turnovers (48). Ranking eighth in scoring in league play, he is the lone freshman among the conference's top-20 scorers.
• KAM CATCHIN' FIRE: Since being inserted into the starting lineup, Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) has consistently been providing the Phoenix with an outside scoring threat. In his 14 starts, Cerroni is averaging 10.9 points per game and shooting 49.4 percent (38-77) from long range. The Horizon League leader in three-point percentage (46.7%) has made a triple in 13-straight games and 17 of the past 18 contests.

WWU Theatre and Dance to present 'Deception Pass' at the PAC
Western Washington University Department of Theatre and Dance presents "Deception Pass: An American Story," directed by Western Theatre faculty Deb Currier in the Performing Arts Center Mainstage Theater.
The play will show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 24-26, as well as on Wednesday through Saturday, Jan. 30-31 and Feb. 1-2. It will also show at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 27 and Feb. 3.
An original play written by Western Theatre instructor Kamarie Chapman, the Western performance will mark the Washington state premiere of this award-winning play.
"Deception Pass: An American Story" follows the story of Prudence Isaac, who is returning home to Whidbey Island for the funeral of her godfather. As Prudence struggles with the sadness of her visit, she is also overcome with the unpleasant memories of her past that wash up in the tides of her dreams. Guided by her grandmother and the ghosts of those haunting the bridge, Prudence finds herself being slowly pushed closer and closer to her estranged father, her family's history, and the truth about her mother's brutal murder.
Set on the magnificent bridge connecting Whidbey Island to the Washington mainland, the play investigates the most important parts of home and family connections. Can the struggles, losses, and triumphs of our ancestors help us navigate the churning waters of our own self-deception and longing for answers that may never come?
The play is intended for mature audiences and contains adult content.
Tickets are available through the Western Box Office and cost $12 for general admission; $10 for seniors, Western faculty and staff; and $8 for students. A limited selection of tickets will also be available at Village Books and the Community Food Co-op.
Western's Box Office hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and one hour prior to the performance. For individual tickets or disability accommodations, contact the Western Box Office at (360) 650-6146 or visit http://www.tickets.wwu.edu.
For more information, please call the Western Department of Theatre and Dance at (360) 650-3876 or visit http://www.wwu.edu/theatredance.

Welcome from Eastern North Carolina.
I have been posting in the New to hand gun forum and I figured I should stop by here and say whats up! I dont have a hand gun yet, but I will once I get my FOID card from the state. Im mainly going to be looking for something that I can shoot at the range and something that I can use for home defense. I really like the looks of the 1911 series and Im really becoming a fan of the XD (M) series as well. Im really hopeing that I like the way they shoot so I can be the proud owner of one. I also have the oppertunity to borrow a Glock G17 and Im going to try that out as well just to see what I like best so I can be completely informed before I start making the first of may purchases Im sure

Hands down the best waterski drysuit for the price! It gives me a couple extra months worth of riding and O'Neill has always been great about doing free repairs on all the seals. Two thumbs up! (Posted on 3/19/13)
I have both the boost and the assault and I love each one for different reasons. The assault dry suit is great for warmth and comfort for skiing and sky skiing. The boost dry suit allows you to wear more warm clothes underneath for those really cold days. Both are great suits, I am glad I have both, but if I had to choose between the 2 I would get the assault. (Posted on 10/10/12)
The Assault is my weapon of choice for cool water. The neo bottoms are great for waterskiing because they have less drag than fully body drysuits. Highly recommended. (Posted on 5/25/12)
I am very impressed with the O'Neill Assault Hybrid Drysuit. It's kept me warm and dry this spring. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, high quality drysuit. (Posted on 4/17/12)

Wear Red Friday Heroes are helping the homeless
Helping people find solutions
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - A hidden gem near downtown is the R.J. Montgomery Center. It's a place where the homeless can go to find hope and solace. Gene Morris is a retired Army Veteran who has been working at this location now run by the Salvation Army for 19 years, "I had a friend who worked down here and said hey we have got a position open. It was five dollars an hour. I took it and have been here ever since."
Gene and the Center staff help veterans and non-vets alike giving them structure and inner fortitude to overcome their life problems and stay off the streets. Jerry Lee Harris has had trouble with alcohol and says the Center has been a godsend for him, "If it wasn't for the Salvation Army, I would not have made it."
Matthew Evans is newly homeless. He was in the military for 12 years. He deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and so many other locations during his time in the service. Evans was honest about dealing with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and his new found homeless status. He got out of the military in 2010, moved to Colorado Springs and tried to find work but couldn't, "I'm working to dig myself out of this situation. It's been a blessing here. The staff has been awesome. When everything is going good, you are not looking for help, not looking for answers to any issues you have. Here, I found solutions from staff or others who live around me."
There are 200 plus beds for men, women and families. You can stay at the R.J. Montgomery Center for emergency shelter for 30 days. Gene Morris says it's about structure and learning to help yourself as far as a longer stay at the Center, "As long as you are working towards an end goal and obeying the rules, you can stay." Morris says the average stay at the Center is 63 days.
The help that the homeless receive from the staff is why they and the Center are our Wear Red Friday Heroes.
