If the use of some unusual claiming strategies were to go mainstream, it could cost the Social Security system a staggering $10 billion annually.
A white paper put out by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College noted that 83% of married couples can benefit from "unusual claiming strategies" commonly known as "file and suspend" and "restricted application."
Both claiming strategies take advantage of the simple fact that for every year that social security benefits are delayed beyond full retirement age, payments increase 8% until age 70. In this time of low interest rates, delaying social security is one of the best financial bargains available to workers.
Both strategies ease the pain of waiting by claiming spousal benefits.
Once having reached full retirement age (currently 66), a spouse is eligible to to receive benefits based on the earning of a partner. One member of a married couple claims a spousal benefit first and then claims a higher full retirement benefit based on his or her own earnings at a later time up to age 70. Spousal benefits are 50% of the partner's benefit, so some cash is flowing while waiting out as much of the time as possible to age 70.
There is no penalty for receiving the spousal benefit during this interim period.
For a married person to get spousal benefits, the primary beneficiary must first claim their benefits. Under file and suspend, the primary beneficiary claims his or her benefit and then suspends receipt.
The spouse then claims a spousal benefit. In this case both members of the couple wait to receive the higher deferred benefits, but the couple is receiving the spousal benefit during the interim period. If both defer their benefits, the total benefits the couple can receive can be quite high. If they both wait until 70 to claim their own benefits, their benefits will be 32% higher than the benefits they would have received if they had both claimed at full retirement age.
If the sum of their retirement benefits at full retirement age is over $4,400, for example $2,000 for the wife and $2,450 for the husband, they will receive more than $70,000 a year, inflation adjusted, in Social Security benefits until the first person passes. After that the surviving spouse will receive the higher of the two benefits.
The second related strategy is filing a restricted application. While this strategy seems to be less well-known than file and suspend, we have found that this is more often the best strategy for a married couple.
Researchers on the study found that this strategy is more burdensome for Social Security.
With a restricted application, the primary beneficiary still needs to claim before the spouse can receive a spousal benefit, but the primary beneficiary doesn't suspend. He or she simply takes a benefit when the claim is made.
As in the file-and-suspend case, the spouse receives a spousal benefit until they claim their own benefit later. The overall benefit received by the couple might be somewhat smaller than the file-and-suspend strategy, but it can still be very large. Since the primary beneficiary is receiving a benefit earlier, the couple receives a higher combined benefit earlier than in the file-and-suspend case
A divorcee that has been married for 10 years can pursue a similar strategy of taking a spousal benefit first and then his or her benefit later.

Behold the golf course. Graced with rolling fairways, pristine greens, ancient oaks and other natural fanfare, it presents a striking picture.
But as beautiful as a golf course may be, its looks belie the trouble besetting the industry that created it.
According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of new courses expected to open in the United States in 2008 is the smallest in 20 years. More courses are scheduled to close this year (nearly 100) than the 80 expected to open, though the closures have fallen since almost 150 were shut down two years ago. The golf construction boom of the 1990s – when about 2,500 new courses (mostly daily fee ones) were added to the 13,000 or so already extant in the U.S. – is not only over; it's stuck in reverse.
The problems of the broad economy are bedeviling golf course construction. The housing market's collapse has hampered development, since a number of golf projects these days are tied into on-site housing. Getting financing to build a new course is tougher than it has been in decades. Projects that were started this year have seen the bulldozers turned off until better times appear.
Consider Rick Jacobson, a golf course architect in Libertyville, Ill. For nearly two decades, the founder of Jacobson Golf Course Design designed and renovated courses in Chicago suburbs, such as Bloomingdale and Winnetka, as well as nationally. But in the last few years, Jacobson – who has worked with Jack Nicklaus on a number of projects – has focused on a new market: China.
Last month, Jacobson agreed to design a 27-hole course in Hong Kong. It's his third venture in China, following the 36-hole Lion's Lake Resort course near Guangzhou and Chaozhou, an 18-hole resort course.
"In the foreseeable future we won't see growth like the 1990s in the U.S. again," said Jacobson, who also agreed to design a course in the Italian province of Calabria this year. "Some of the projects were ill-conceived. Some courses were just a temporary fad until they could flip it to a developer."
When it comes to those sports whose purpose is to attract public participation, it's hard to match golf for the scope and expanse of what needs to be created. Bowling? Buy a couple of acres of land and construct 10 lanes with a bar nearby. Tennis? Two hard courts take up as much space as a suburban backyard; upkeep is minimal.
But building a golf course in the United States is a process that takes years. Finding 200 acres of suitable land near a reasonable population center is just the start. Attracting money and securing permits is another time-consuming venture.
Jacobson shakes his head at some of the public hearings he's endured in the U.S.
"One landowner said he didn't want a golf course because golfers are known to smoke cigars. He didn't want cigar smoke in his house," Jacobson recalled. "One said with drivers, the decibel of hitting the ball exceeded the sound range allowable."
Of course, China is no utopia. Jacobson had to redesign an entire hole in one of his ventures because it encompassed a rock land form that was significant to a village. At the same time, the market there is exploding. Hundreds of courses have been built in China in the last quarter-century with at least 20 more expected to open in the next few years.
Originally, golf exploded in the United States. In the 1880s, there were a handful of golfers in the country; by the first term of the Eisenhower Administration, the number had reached five million. Today, close to 30 million people play the game founded in Scotland.
But in 2008, golf is in decline by many measures. Rounds are down, as is the sale of equipment. On the pro tour, television ratings fell once Tiger Woods left the scene with a damaged knee after the U.S. Open at San Diego's Torrey Pines.
Though municipal courses are taking the brunt of the downturn (except perhaps Torrey Pines, which enjoyed $8 million in renovations before the Open), private courses are not immune to the pain. Take the case of Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood, Ill. After 107 years as a well-respected course, the 6,300-yard Donald Ross original was reported to have been put up for sale this fall with a price tag of $4.95 million. It is said only a few dozen members are left.
All in all, the golf course business was once as breathtaking as the ocean holes at Pebble Beach. These days, unfortunately, it's looking more like Rodney Dangerfield's wardrobe in "Caddyshack."

Enjoy the antics of our playful southern sea otters as they romp, tumble and wrestle like they do in the wild. On the second floor of the exhibit you can watch them swim at the surface, while first-floor windows give an underwater view of their lively acrobatics.
Exhibit Highlights
You're watching video highlights of daily activity in this exhibit.
Meet Our Sea Otters
Our spirited sea otters came to us as rescued animals and are no longer able to survive in the wild. Most of our animals are occasionally off exhibit, acting as companions or mentors to other stranded otters as part of our Sea Otter Program.
Abby was rescued as a newborn in July 2007 by the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Rescue Center and raised at SeaWorld San Diego, where she became a popular exhibit otter. She was transferred to the Aquarium in June 2012 to join the sea otter exhibit and became a surrogate mother to her first pup, Sina, in January 2013.
To spot Abby, look for the all-brown otter sticking out her tongue! She likes playing with artificial kelp, taking ice baths and eating frozen treats. She also grew attached to towels as a young pup. Abby can frequently be seen waiting at the back door before feeding sessions.
Ivy was found stranded in November 2011 on Cayucos State Beach in San Luis Obispo County as a two-week-old pup. She was cared for by Sea Otter Program staff for seven weeks, and then introduced to Toola—the Aquarium's most experienced surrogate mother at the time. After a number of factors interfered with her timely release, Ivy was declared non-releasable by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Ivy formally joined the sea otter exhibit in December 2012 at just over one year old and is now a surrogate mother to pups behind the scenes. She's one of the younger otters on exhibit, earning the nickname "wild child" by Aquarium staff because of her liveliness during training. Ivy is named after a character in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
Kit was found stranded in Morro Bay Harbor in January 2010 at five weeks old. A California Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist rescued her and, based on authorization from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, she was not released to the wild. In 2010 Kit became the youngest sea otter pup ever to go on exhibit at the Aquarium—just 11 weeks old—learning critical otter skills like cracking clams and eating live crab without getting bit! In June 2012 she was transferred to SeaWorld San Diego where she continued to mature and learn how to socialize with other exhibit animals.
In January 2013, at three years old, Kit returned to the Aquarium to become a surrogate mother and mentor to pups behind the scenes. The chocolate-brown otter, named after a character in John Steinbeck's The Wayward Bus, is one of our biggest otters and weighs about 50 pounds.
Rosa's our oldest sea otter. She was found stranded between Sunset and Manresa State Beaches in southern Santa Cruz County in September 1999, only about four weeks old and weighing just over five pounds. In April 2000 she was released back to the wild where she spent nearly two years until she began interacting with divers and climbing onto kayaks. Because of the potential risks to herself and people, federal wildlife officials declared her non-releasable.
Rosa joined the sea otter exhibit in June 2002. During her years at the Aquarium she's put her maternal instincts to work—she's reared more pups than any other active surrogate mother on exhibit. She's one of our larger otters, and you can also identify her by the silvered-colored fur on her head and white freckles. After a feeding, you can often see her resting on the water's surface at the center window. She gets her name from a character in John Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat—the first of the author's novels set on Cannery Row.
SelkaSelka was found stranded in July of 2012 off Cayucos, California as a one-week-old pup. She was cared for at the Aquarium and released into the wild in June 2013. Unfortunately, eight weeks after release, she was found hauled out on Moss Landing Harbor with severe shark bite injuries. She underwent extensive surgery and recovery back at the Aquarium, and splashed back into the wild four months later. After several months in the wild, Selka was brought back to the Aquarium due to concerns about her health and several interactions with people. She was declared non-releasable by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Selka spent the next two years at Long Marine Lab, where she helped researchers understand how wild sea otters search for and acquire enough prey to survive in their ocean home.
Selka joined our exhibit in August of 2016. She is clever with an easy-going and inquisitive nature. Selka is our youngest otter and also has the darkest fur of any of the otters on exhibit. She may go on and off exhibit as she settles into her new home and she's already proven herself to be a successful surrogate mother.
Saving Sea OttersFor 35 years, the Aquarium has been the epicenter of sea otter recovery. Our decades of research have also revealed the vital role these animals play in creating resilient coastal ecosystems. Your support will allow us to keep pushing the boundaries of sea otter recovery.

Cool Facts
- Sea otters have the world's densest fur—up to a million hairs per square inch! (You have 100,000 hairs or less on your whole head.)
- Sea otters live in loose-knit groups called rafts. Otters in rafts often sleep side-by-side, wrapped in strands of kelp so that they don't drift far from each other.
- Training and "enrichment" games keep our otters mentally and physically stimulated; they also make working with the otters safer for us and less stressful for them.

Golden Globes 2012 hilights, gossip, photos, and video.
This might take a few weeks
Frazer Harrison/Mike Davis/Kevin Winter/Getty
On Friday, Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio both attended the AFI gala. I found a photo of them together. And, obviously, my immediate association was Romeo & Juliet. Only one of my all time favourite movies. Click here Full Story
GG Worst Dressed: Natalie Portman
Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty
No imagination. No creativity. I don't care that it was Lanvin. Go to a mid-range department store right now, head for the evening wear section and you'll find this dress in various shades of peach and mahogany, definitely black, and most certainly red. Maybe not such an full shade of red, but it's not really that pronounced of a difference. Full Story
GG Best Man: Idris Elba
Wenn, ROBYN BECK/Kevin Winter/Getty
I've already mentioned that Luther is my jam. You need to get on that if you haven't already. There are a few shows that I can't talk about too much because...corny as it is to say... my feelings for them are so intense, I still want to keep them private, like a secret relationship. Roll your eyes, I deserve it. Full Story
GG Duana's Best Dressed: Laura Dern
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty
This green dress really moved me onscreen, but in the still pictures, it's less dynamic. Maybe that's the point of sequins, that they have to be seen in motion to really kick you in the eyeballs. It's an interesting dress – both super-sexy and a little bit austere. Full Story
Lainey's GG Best Dressed: Nicole Kidman
Wenn, Jason Merritt/Frazer Harrison/Kevin Winter/Getty
Put Nicole in a room with Madonna (and Jessica Lange) every time and her face actually starts to move. Even Third Lip wasn't so third lippy last night. But that Versace was her best in a long, long time.You know why? It gave her an hourglass. Nicole is a lean woman. And somehow this dress created so much shape. Full Story
GG Fontrum: Madonna
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Robyn Beck/Getty
I grew up in the 80s. Madonna was my guardian angel, my camp counsellor, my ways and my means. What I'm trying to say is that I will always want to side with Madonna. She's connected to my youth. And those inclinations, formed in adolescence, attached to teen memory, are almost impossible to corrupt. Full Story
GG Third Saggy Breast: Jessica Biel
Frazer Harrison/FREDERIC J. BROWN/Getty
Shelfy did not wear her engagement ring at any of the Globe events this weekend. Instead, she decided on a prairie wedding gown with a third saggy tit, right above the waist, I dunno, just to make sure you know JT wants to marry her. In this?She's not enough for this, you know what I mean?Like, the woman who wears this dress has to be really, really special. Full Story
GG Best Hair: Angelina Jolie
Wenn, Jason Merritt/Handout/Frazer Harrison/Getty
An easy knot like this is so underrated. And it doesn't need to look like this. Angelina's isn't perfect, and this is a good thing. It could have very well been swept off off her face and neck, looped around an elastic a few times, and done. If you have long hair, like, me, this takes all of 10 seconds. Full Story
GG Worst Hair & Forever $400: Stacy Keibler
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty
Nothing says small town to me more than poor hairstyling, where the "rules" of fashion and appearance have never been updated, one of which dictates that fancy parties require curls or updos. Making it exciting is taking it only half way up. This is what Stacy Keibler gave us last night. And just as we were starting to make progress - see here Full Story
GG Worst Happy Face: Claire Danes
Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty
Behold, a thesis in two parts: Point the first – the physical. Danes and I are of a similar age. But…flatter myself, sure...I think she looks SO much older than me. Part of that can be attributed to the razor-thin demands that we know in Hollywood – the body-or-face choice comes early. Full Story
Golden Globe Almost: Michelle Williams
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty
She was just about to be my Best of the night. Just about. Even with the headband that Duana and Sarah considered twee. But I thought it was beautifully accented with that dress. God, that amazing dress.And then...She opened with the kid.Right off the top of the speech, it was Natalie Portman 2012. Babies and motherhood, mothers and daughters. Full Story

Wis. board erases in-person deer check stations
January 23, 2014 at 01:16 PM
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials agreed Wednesday to eliminate in-person deer check stations by next year, doing away with a cornerstone of hunting tradition to save money and process data faster.
The provision was part of a sweeping rules package implementing Texas researcher James Kroll's recommendations on how to improve hunting in Wisconsin. Gov. Scott Walker's administration hired Kroll in 2011 to review the Department of Natural Resources' deer policies; agency officials have been working to meld his suggestions into their regulations for months.
The DNR's board approved the package on a unanimous voice vote after nearly four hours of discussion. Board members said the new rules will give hunters a stronger voice in local herd management.
"Yes!" DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp said seconds after the vote. "It's such an exciting time in deer management in this state. We will not waste this opportunity."
The rules call for a host of changes, including reducing the number of deer management units from 134 to 72 based on county boundaries, simplifying population goals into broad statements such as "increase or decrease the herd," creating cheaper antlerless tags for landowners who agree to share data from kills with the DNR, and creating county committees that will recommend local population goals to the agency by next year. Perhaps the biggest on-the-ground shift is eliminating in-person registration.
Deer hunters have been hauling carcasses to hundreds of bars and convenience stores across the state to be counted for decades, showing off the carcasses to other hunters, buying snacks and beer and swapping stories. The DNR has relied on in-person registration as a means of gathering detailed information on kill totals, deer sex, age and health, and collecting tissue samples for chronic wasting disease tests.
Kroll argued remote registration would expedite kill tallies. The rules eliminate all check stations in favor of a mix of phone and online registration by 2015. DNR officials say such a move could save the agency as much as $182,000 a year.
Opponents have warned remote registration will lead to underreporting, the loss of face-to-face interaction and less data for the DNR as well as hurt bars, taverns and convenience stores' bottom lines.
"Our establishments serve as community gathering places, where sportsmen come together to share the successes and failures of the day's hunt," Wisconsin Tavern League Executive Director Pete Madland said in a statement to the board Wednesday. "Eliminating this revenue stream from these small businesses would be another financial hardship for them to bear."
Supporters, though, say remote registration will be far more convenient for hunters, especially when they're dozens of miles from the nearest check-in station.
"If you make it easier for people to register more people will register there deer without wasting gas, time (greener) for everyone," hunter Kyle Olinski wrote in a Dec. 24 email to the board. "'taking the fun out of deer hunting because they can't show off there deer at the registration station' What??? How about a picture on your cell phone and send it out to your friends and the world. Please pass this it makes sense."
Eric Lobner, a DNR wildlife supervisor coordinating the rules package, told the board Wisconsin was one of only three Midwestern and Eastern states that still register deer on paper, and that Wisconsin turkey and geese hunters already register their kills by phone. DNR officials have said, too, that they're pondering other ways of collecting deer data, including requiring random in-person registrations, requiring hunters to send in deer jaws or taking tissue samples from deer that hunters deliver to meat processors.
Stepp called the paper system "extraordinarily burdensome." She said she understands the tradition of in-person registration and the economic impact, but suggested taverns and stores could still pull in hunters with biggest buck contests and other promotions.
George Meyer, a former DNR secretary who now serves as executive director of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, questioned why the agency is considering any of Kroll's recommendations. He said hunters generally have been satisfied since the Legislature eliminated earn-a-buck, a DNR herd control plan that required hunters to kill an antlerless deer before taking a buck.
Board members disagreed with his claim, pointing out hunters in northern Wisconsin killed 15 percent fewer deer this year than last. Stepp said current DNR policy "ain't working."

Gov. Rick Scott touted Florida's improving economy and his wish list for the upcoming legislative session during his third State of the State speech before the Florida Legislature on Tuesday.
Scott's speech hit his favorite talking points, both old and new. This year, Scott's hoping for a tax break for manufacturers and pay increases for school teachers.
Meanwhile, Democrats released an attack on Scott through a "pre-buttal," a memo released ahead of Scott's speech that criticized his for slashing the state workforce and cutting funding for education.
In making their specific arguments, though, we found both teams flubbed some of facts.
• Scott blamed state government's taxing and borrowing for the bad state of the economy when he became governor two years ago. "Now is not the time to turn back to the legacy of taxing and borrowing that crippled the economy we inherited two years ago," he said.
Economists across the board said this was nonsense. Florida's economy was hurt by the housing crisis and the national financial crisis, not taxing and borrowing from state government. We rated his statement False.
• Scott repeated the claim that his proposed education budget "is the highest state funding level in Florida history." That sounds like Florida students are getting more money than ever, but they're not. Scott's counting only the money that state government contributes, not federal or local funding. When you look at the big picture, education funding in Florida falls short of an all-time high. We rated his statement Half True.
•The Florida Democratic Party said that Scott's record on education is terrible, and that he doesn't consider education a "core function" of the state. We looked for statements where Scott would have said that and came up empty. We rated the Democrats' statement False.
• The Florida Democratic Party claimed that Scott had axed more public sector jobs than had been created in the private sector in 2012. We checked the numbers and found that was totally wrong; the Democrats had only counted part of the year. We rated their statement Pants on Fire.
• Scott called for helping the poor by increasing funds to help people with disabilities. "For the first time in eight years, our budget also increases funding for persons with disabilities by $36 million to help more disabled people receive community-based services, and $2.5 million for job training." We found that Scott was right on his numbers, but the money will get only about 750 people off a waiting list of 22,000. We rated his statement Mostly True.

This year may be bringing us Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and (deep breath) Zoolander 2, but 2016 also marks a milestone for a great number of much-loved blockbusters.
We've taken a trip back in time to 2006 and remembered some of the best releases hitting the big screen in that year.
Believe us, it was a year to celebrate.
From the latest in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, to Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada, it truly was a year of drama, laughter and (most importantly) entertainment.
Here are 16 films turning 10 in 2016. What's your favourite?
1. The Departed: Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, this film was the most popular of the year according to IMDB.
2. Casino Royale: Daniel Craig's first turn as Bond captured audiences across the globe - and it seems appropriate to remember it following the release of Spectre at the end of last year.
3. Rocky Balboa: Sylvester Stallone returns to his role as Rocky, making 2006 a memorable year.
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: The Walt Disney series was a family favourite, and one fondly re-watched by many.
5. Mission: Impossible III: Tom Cruise and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman provide the nail-bite factor in the latest Mission: Impossible flick.
6. Night At The Museum: Can you remember what the world was like before we met tiny Owen Wilson as a cowboy? We can't.
7. 300: Three words. This. Is. Sparta.
8. Cars: This animated Pixar flick has earned its stripes as a classic.
9. Little Miss Sunshine: A quirky, dysfunctional comedy. What's not to love?
10. Superman Returns: The return of one of the world's greatest superheroes was just what 2006 cinema was calling for.
11. Click: Nothing makes you yearn for your teenage years like a good old Adam Sandler film, and Click is no exception.
12. The Pursuit of Happyness: Will Smith stars along young son Jaden in this heart-wrenching drama of a father's one battle against his son.
13. The Queen: Helen Mirren's memorable performance as Queen Elizabeth II was one of the year's stand-out moments. Coupled with Michael Sheen as Tony Blair, the film was always going to be a winner.
14. Snakes On A Plane: Okay, this one is a bit of a loose cannon, but who can forget Samuel L. Jackson's memorable line? The best dialogue of 2006, surely.
15. Notes On A Scandal: Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench create an outstanding and volatile relationship in Notes On A Scandal.
16. Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny: Not a blockbuster, perhaps, but a great film choice all the same. Popcorn, anyone?

The problem when you announce this is people immediately want to know what your theme is (other than the obvious, "It is about me.") The great thing about the process of this class is that we are not required (yet) to know our theme. We are simply encouraged to write and write and write about what comes to mind and weave this in with other exercises and somewhere along the way, our theme is going to pop out like magic. The odd thing is that I actually believe this. So, I am just going to keep writing and doing my exercises.
Now, it's really not quite as random as all that especially since I have been free-writing for nearly five years and there are definitely themes that show up again and again and again. So, I decided I would share where I am today (knowing full well that it could change by this afternoon). Here is a poem I ran across this morning. It popped out of the book, jumped up and down, and waved her words yelling, "ME, ME, ME, Look at Me! I could be your theme!!"
Mary Oliver
Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.
Theme worthy? What do you think?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Suffolk County will collect and properly dispose of potentially hazardous common household products from flood-damaged homes in Suffolk County. Beginning on Nov. 12, people in affected homes may bring household products, including solvents, paints, cleaners, oil, propane tanks, batteries, petroleum products, weed/bug killers, car batteries, bleach and ammonia, to one of four drop-off locations. In addition, starting on Nov. 12, residents of Islip, Babylon, Patchogue, Mastic Beach and Riverhead can put waste products on the curb for pickup. The drop-off and pickup locations are listed below:
Venetian Shores Park, 801 Granada Parkway, Lindenhurst, NY
Islip Multipurpose Recycling Facility, 1155 Lincoln Avenue, Holbrook, NY
Wastewater Treatment Plant, 1 Hammond Street, Patchogue, NY
Highway Barn, 1177 Osborn Road, Riverhead, NY (*begins Tues., Nov. 13*)
"Household hazardous waste, such as petroleum products, old paint and pesticides can be dangerous and should be disposed of properly to protect people's health and the environment," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "The EPA is urging people to separate potentially hazardous products from their regular trash and bring them to one of the newly established drop-off locations or place them on the curb in areas with curbside pickup."
Oil-contaminated debris or material contaminated by other petroleum or chemical products should be separated and stored in a well-ventilated area. If stored outdoors, the piles should be covered to keep rain from contaminating nearby soil and water. Any chemical or oil spills, such as from home heating oil tanks, must be reported to DEC through the agency's Spills Hotline at 1-800-457-7362.
It is also important to clean and disinfect everything touched by flood waters as quickly as possible, since they may contain bacteria or toxic chemicals from sources as varied as garden chemicals, heating oil and sewage.
Porous items need to be dried right away to prevent mold. If possible, household furnishings should be cleaned or disinfected. If they cannot be cleaned, they should be discarded. Hard, non-porous surfaces should also be cleaned. For detailed advice, see the State Department of Health's website http://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/emergency/weather/hurricane/ andhttp://www.epa.gov/sandy/factsheets.html
For more information on handling household hazardous waste in Suffolk County, visit:http://epa.gov/sandy/pdf/R2SuffolkHHW.pdf
The EPA and DEC have also worked with communities to establish temporary storage areas for storm-generated debris. New Yorkers can find more information by calling the EPA at 888-283-7626 or the DEC regional office on Long Island at 516-444-0375 during normal business hours to obtain specific disposal information.

Throughout the 1990s the European Union was above all a generous donor to Albania. Between 1991 and 1999 Albania received grants totalling around one billion euros from the European Union budget. This was one of the highest amounts of assistance relative to the Albanian GDP and included 256 million euros in humanitarian aid.
A new era started in June 2006 when Albania signed a Stability and Association agreement with the EU as a first step to a very different relationship: a candidate for EU membership.
In a document published in March 2008 the European Commission noted progress (Communication Western Balkans: enhancing the European perspective):
"Albania has continued to make progress in reforms and approximation to EU standards. It is implementing well its Interim Agreement under the SAA and is building up a track record.
Albania has maintained a balanced position on the Kosovo issue, thus contributing to the regional stability.
Political leaders in Albania have pledged to engage in a constructive relationship on key reforms. Electoral reform, particularly in view of the 2009 parliamentary elections, strengthening the rule of law, reform of the judicial system and the fight against corruption and organised crime are central. An improved climate in parliament will contribute to move forward on such issues."
The Albanian politics elite currently prepares for the next step: to submit an official application for EU membership. On Europe Day 2008 (9 May) Prime Minister Sali Berisha and the leader of the opposition Edi Rama both committed that despite substantial disagreements on domestic issues they would cooperate on this matter as a national priority.

Have you ever tried giving a non-enthusiast advice on what car to buy? It's torture.
Oh how I pined for my folks to spring for a nice Honda Fit when they finally needed to replace the '92 Camry they were giving to my grandma. The spacious rear seat! Room enough for a bike in the back! A reasonable price!
It was all for naught. They bought the car they wanted in the first place.
A Prius.
I genuinely think they're better off with the hybrid than the Fit. The Toyota makes them happy and that's all I can ask for, but those weeks of campaigning for the Honda was a long and arduous battle that I do not want to engage myself in again.
Irving Washington wished he'd never even have to question the preferences of society's non-car-loving majority. He took offence to my assortment that gearheads are raised, not born.
I was born this way! How dare you imply that this is just something I decided to do?! Do you think it's easy to be a gearhead? Do you know what it's like never being satisfied with "normal" cars? What I wouldn't give to love the Camry like everyone else. Do you think my parents are proud of me? You think it was a fun day when I had to tell my dad that every car he ever bought was awful? Our relationship still hasn't recovered. He's a kind man, and he tries to understand, but I know he's hurt deep down.
And society actively threatens us. They don't accept us for who we are. Do you know how insecure it feels to know that you could be fired at any time for spending 3 or more hours a day on Jalopnik? And poor Ray Wert's got a rap sheet as long as your arm because of who he loves. The heart wants what it wants! Free Ray Wert!
So you can take your carophobic assumptions and shove them up your exhaust. We're here; we're gear; get used to it!

An overview of the North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership
Protection of natural resources and cost-effective, sustainable water supplies in the St. Johns River and Suwannee River water management districts through collaborative planning, scientific-tool development and other partnership efforts
Ensuring sustainable water supplies and protecting north Florida's waterways and natural systems is a collaborative effort among the water management districts, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), local elected officials and area stakeholders.
Water managers have enhanced communications and improved coordination of programs to protect the shared resources of the Floridan aquifer system. Specifically, the water management districts are working closely together on regulatory programs in north Florida, sharing data and technology, developing joint water resource protection strategies, and focusing more attention on communication with stakeholders across district boundaries.
In May 2015, the St. Johns River and Suwannee River water management districts and DEP amended the agreement that formalizes the coordination of water resource management in north Florida.
Working together and exchanging scientific data and factual information is critical to an efficient, productive and successful effort. The North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership seeks to do this in an open, public process involving both water management districts, DEP, local governments, concerned residents and other stakeholders throughout the region.

The Honda CR-V was the top-selling crossover for the first part of 2012 and it's no mystery why. The CR-V stood out in our tests, not just for its quiet, comfortable ride and great gas mileage, but for its thoughtful design as well, making it our top crossover pick for best interior. While the CR-V may not be the cheapest of the bunch, it is one of the best values in our test.
Driving Experience
The CR-V is, above all, a great small family SUV, but don't expect the sportiest ride; acceleration, braking, and cornering were all middle of the pack in Car and Driver's track testing. The CR-V did offer one of the quieter rides however, keeping noise out whether idling or accelerating. If better gas mileage is paramount, the CR-V offers an "ECON" mode that dulls the sensitivity of the gas pedal to encourage more conservative driving and improve fuel economy. A small indicator shows the user they are in ECON mode on the primary display, alongside an easy-to-read speedometer and a built-in instantaneous fuel economy display.
We were much happier with the CR-V's performance when we took it out on the road however, and gave it the top score of any crossover in the bunch. We loved the vehicle's smooth, quick-shifting transmission and worry-free handling. It was smooth over bumpy roads, and easy to park, thanks to the SUV's electronic assisted steering. We did find fault with the CR-V's poor rear visibility, though front and side visibility were good, and the driver's side mirror features a convex portion for a better side view.
Infotainment System & Controls
The CR-V would have been tops for ease-of-use had we not had some hiccups with the infotainment system. It was difficult to place calls using voice commands because each contact required a manually programmed voice tag. There was no 'home' button we could locate, making navigation less simple than we'd like. Also, the volume and tuner share a single knob so you constantly have to press to alternate between the two. For more involved functions, the center console screen is perched up high, just below the front windshield, making it among the easiest to safely look at while driving without taking your eyes off the road. However, it's recessed into the dash, meaning the display is a little harder for shorter drivers to see. Otherwise, the control layout was clear and simple.
Interior & Design
Our favorite attribute of the CR-V was its well-planned interior. Among the thoughtful details that make a difference: back doors open wide making it easy to get in and out and a perfectly flat floor makes sliding across easy and leaves plenty of legroom for the center seat. While the CR-V has a tad less headroom than other vehicles in our test, overall room in the front and back seats was great. There are a plenty of storage compartments in the front, especially between the front seats. The rear seats fold down easily with the pull of a lever for extra trunk space; additionally, the seat adjusts to be level with the floor for perfectly flat rear storage. The trunk is spacious (the second most generous in our test), and includes several pockets and optional nets for storage. Car seat installation was among the simplest in the bunch too, thanks to easily accessible anchors.

Cabin Fever and Devious Kitties
Outfit Details:
vintage beret – from my mom's shop, Hourglass Consignment
lace button up – H&M sale rack
tulle skirt – Target kid's section, Christmas gift from my mom (same one I borrowed from Kim)
tights – Christmas gift from my mom
Seychelles boots – courtesy of ModCloth
distressed leopard print Gwen bag – courtesy of Melie Bianco
black drape cardigan – MNG Mango via JC Penney (from a gift card I won)
vintage cape – gift from my mom; she got it out of a dumpster
I fear I'm suffering from cabin fever at the moment; I have only left my immediate neighborhood twice since I returned from Florida and you're looking at one of them. I have had a lot of sewing to catch up on and with only one properly functioning hand, it takes about three times as long to complete a garment. As a righty, I find it extraordinarily difficult to cut, hand-stitch, pin or even write out mailing labels with my left hand. It's driving me crazy. Fortunately, Bobby has been assisting me whenever possible. Unfortunately, with his schedule and limited to no sewing knowledge, it's practically never possible. How inconsiderate of him to have his own career and no expertise in my own field. How rude.
I was hoping to have a moment away from the frustration yesterday, when I finally had a great excuse to get out of the house for Tory Burch's Pre-Fall presentation. Naturally, things went awry and I ended up staying home. The hot water wasn't and still isn't working (I can't function/look decent without a shower) and my keys were nowhere to be found. A few hours after I had already given up and resorted to watching a couple episodes of Hoarders and subsequently tidying up the apartment, I discovered them beneath my cat Vester. I don't know why I didn't think to look under him in the first place. He is a rather large cat.
Do you think he was trying to hold me hostage? Kitties can be such devious little creatures. I wouldn't put it past him to wreck the hot water heater, either. They do have a history of hating baths.

Actress Anna Gunn said in a weekend op-ed article that her character of Skyler White on the television series "Breaking Bad" had become a lightning rod.
Gunn wrote in The New York Times that the sometimes vitriolic criticism she has attracted from "Breaking Bad" fans was reflective of American society's views toward strong female characters and their family relationships.
"I'm concerned that so many people react to Skyler with such venom," Gunn wrote. "Could it be that they can't stand a woman who won't suffer silently or 'stand by her man'? That they despise her because she won't back down or give up?"
Gunn also broke the seeming controversy down to literary terms. She proposed that since her television husband, teacher turned drug dealer Walter White, was basically the hero of the series, someone like Skyler who calls him on his actions would be relegated to antagonist stature.
"As the one character who consistently opposes Walter and calls him on his lies, Skyler is, in a sense, his antagonist," Gunn wrote. "So from the beginning, I was aware that she might not be the show's most popular character."
Gunn expressed a similar theory earlier this year in Rolling Stone. She said in that interview that Walter's renegade status was attractive to viewers who also see Skyler as his ball-and-chain because she doesn't respect his involvement in methamphetamine.
"People watching want to be Walt, or they identify with him," she said. "He doesn't have to answer to anybody."
"When Skyler says: 'No, you shouldn't do that,' they're like, 'What is her deal!? What's wrong with her?'"

I recently had an interesting idea for a new Soundwave, since audiocassettes and players are outdated now and no longer marketable to kids. My idea is that, instead of a cassette player, Soundwave transforms into a cartridge-based game system, and his minions turn into the cartridges.
I know game cartridges are also a little old, but retro gaming (to my knowledge) is still popular, even with kids. Not to mention, according to recent rumors, cartridges may be making a comeback (still unconfirmed, but we'll find out for sure pretty soon).
It might not be the easiest adaptation in the world, but I still think it's a workable concept, but what do you guys think? Replies are appreciated, I'd like to be the first to know if I sound like an idiot.

My fish always seem hungry. How much should I really be feeding them?
Tony – Richmond, VA
Proper fish feeding is one of the great balancing acts of pond ownership – and there's precious little in the way of definitive, measurable guidelines. With a little observation, though, you'll have it down to a science in no time.
As a rule, it's best to feed your fish once a day, and preferably at the same time. An established routine trains them to be on the alert when mealtime rolls around, which in turn makes each feeding more efficient and effective. Try not to feed them any more than they can consume comfortably in five minutes – and be sure to remove any food left over after five minutes is up.
The five-minute rule serves a couple of important purposes. Unlike land borne creatures, fish have to share their environment with their leftovers. With some fish (and lots of humans), this can lead to overeating, bulging midsections, and compromised health. If excess food goes uneaten, it adversely affects water quality, leads to increased algae growth, and requires significantly more maintenance. Finding the five-minute sweet spot keeps both you and your fish happy.
But quantity is only the first half of the equation. The quality of the food you choose is every bit as important. Like the food we eat, fish food is comprised of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Protein is of particular importance when choosing the proper fish food, because it leads to rapid growth. Too much protein, however, can cause too much growth too quickly, leading to unhealthy fish. It also leads to increased waste, accelerated algae growth, and – you guessed it – more maintenance.
Our Pond Logic® feed line takes the guesswork out of proper nutritional proportions. With added citrus and natural color intensifiers, the protein-balanced Pond Logic® Growth & Color Fish Food is a fish favorite that consistently wins rave reviews from satisfied pond owners. Pond Logic® Ponstix provides a convenient, well-balanced and low-waste alternative to traditional foods. And Pond Logic® Professional delivers an extra protein punch, with the added benefits of immune system-boosting Beta Glucan to enhance the health of both your fish – and their habitat.
Pond appetit.

MOVIE REVIEW- Box ticket: No classic, but <i>Ember</i> entertains
The old story about rebels escaping from an oppressive underground civilization gets a visually interesting, family-friendly retelling in City of Ember.
Based on the novel by Jeanne Duprau, the movie squanders its original elements early, before reverting to formulaic sneaking and snooping and running. There's even a monster who has no logical reason for being there but serves a dramatic purpose (and may be an homage to director Gil Kenan's previous film, Monster House).
The backstory is more interesting than what happens as it moves forward, though even that leaves questions for inquiring minds. A narrator explains how, "on the day the world ended," certain information was placed in a small metal box which was set to open in 200 years. It was sent to a specially built underground city with the remains of humanity, in the hope that the surface of the planet could be reinhabited in the future.
Wouldn't the first generation in that city, named Ember, be aware of where they'd come from and pass that information on to their descendants? you ask. Write your own story, troublemaker!
The box was passed on from one Mayor of Ember to another, until it got tucked away and forgotten with 47 years to go; and when it opened automatically, no one noticed. The current Mayor (Bill Murray, with his usual brand of sardonic seriousness) is eating from a secret food stash while the people are going hungry, and the city, which has a Dickensian look anyway, is falling into serious disrepair. The generator that powers everything has been suffering longer and more frequent blackouts. The Mayor, typically, deals with the crisis by appointing a task force to investigate, and opiates the masses with the annual Great Day of Singing.
It's obvious that the younger generation will have to fix the mess they've inherited, and two of them quickly emerge as the central characters. Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway, whose chin has a dimple John Travolta's entire head could get lost in) is the son of eccentric Loris (Tim Robbins), who is forever inventing gizmos and doohickeys and whatzits, and telling his son things like, "Notice what no one else notices, and you'll know what no one else knows."
Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) lives with her Granny (Liz Smith) and little sister Poppy (Amy and Catherine Quinn). The latter has such a case of ADD she shouldn't be taken along on the Big Adventure that occupies most of the movie's second half; but of course she is. One of Lina's ancestors was the seventh mayor of Ember, so the box– remember the box?– is in her closet.
With Lina following clues in the box, and Doon making other discoveries around town, they join forces to seek a way out of Ember before the infrastructure totally collapses. What they find is more like a model for a theme park ride than a well thought out escape route, but you take what you can get.
The lead actors have been more impressive before, Ronan in her Oscar-nominated role in Atonement and Treadaway with his twin brother Luke in Brothers of the Head (which is definitely worth renting but not for kids); but they fill the bill as surrogates for young viewers. The grown-up cast includes Martin Landau, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Toby Jones, and Mary Kay Place.
The screenplay is by Caroline Thompson, who's written most of the best family films of the last 20 years, including several of Tim Burton's. This isn't her best work, but it's satisfactory for director Kenan to build a visual treat around.
City of Ember isn't a classic, but it's a better-than-average entertainment for families to enjoy together.

Chula Vista Energy Upgrade Project
Docket Number:
07-AFC-04 (Application For Certification)
Project Status: Project Denied, June 17, 2009
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
James D. Boyd, Vice Chair, Presiding Member
Vacant, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Raoul Renaud
Key Dates
- 8/10/2007 - Application for Certification filed with Energy Commission.
- 9/26/2007 - Commission accepts Application for Certification (AFC) as complete.
- 4/29/2008 - Preliminary Staff Assessment is released.
- 8/28/2008 - Final Staff Assessment is released.
- 1/23/2009 - Presiding Member's Proposed Decision is released.
- 6/17/2009 - Commission votes to deny the AFC and not grant the license.
On August 10, 2007, MMC Energy, Inc. submitted an Application for Certification (AFC) to construct and operate the Chula Vista Energy Upgrade Project (CVEUP), a simple-cycle electrical power plant facility in the City of Chula Vista, San Diego County.
The proposed CVEUP would be a nominal 100-megawatt (MW) peaking facility, with construction planned to begin in the fall of 2008 and commercial operation planned by the fall of 2009. Primary equipment for the generating facility would include two General Electric (GE) Energy LM6000 natural gas-fired turbine-generators and associated equipment. The project site is located on a 3.8-acre parcel in the City of Chula Vista's Main Street Industrial Corridor and within the City's Light Industrial zoning district. The project site address is 3497 Main Street, Chula Vista, California.
This site is currently occupied by MMC's Chula Vista Power Plant, a 44.5 MW simple-cycle, natural gas-fired peaking power plant using Pratt & Whitney FT4 Twinpac technology. As part of the CVEUP, the existing power plant and pollution control equipment would be removed from the southern portion of the project parcel. The proposed plant, using GE Energy LM6000 technology, would be constructed on vacant land in the northern portion of the parcel. Some of the facilities that serve the existing plant would be reused for the new power plant. These facilities include the existing transmission connection; natural gas, water, and sanitary sewer pipelines; fencing and sound attenuation wall; utility/control building; stormwater runoff retention basin; and the 12,000-gallon aqueous ammonia storage tank and tank refilling station. Once the new plant is constructed, the existing plant would be dismantled and removed. The existing power equipment would be sold for salvage and the foundations, piping, and other equipment associated with the existing plant will be removed. The CVEUP would replace the existing older and less efficient technology with newer, more efficient, and cleaner technology.
Because the proposed CVEUP would reuse the existing electrical transmission, natural gas, water service, and sanitary sewer pipelines, the proposed project would have no offsite linear appurtenances. All connections of the CVEUP to linear facilities would be made on the existing site using the existing facilities.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Heat shields for cables, wiring etc
When I had a batch of shift and select cables made they made the heat shielding a single layer. They had to make a new batch of heat shielding. All my shift and select cables that have this ceramic/aluminum heat shielding get a double layer heat shield. These are a single layer. So I have these to sell. Althought they are a single layer they are high quality.
They are 19 1/4" long. Use for any kind of cable heat shielding like wires etc.
The ID is 1". A one inch diameter round will go thru these. Anything larger will not. So measure the diameter of what you want to put this over. It has to be 1" or smaller in diameter.
Most if not all Fiero shift and select cables will probably not fit thru these. The ID is too small.
Sewn with high temperature thread. One layer. Aluminum/ceramic high temperature heat shielding.
Shipping: Shipping in the USA is $5.00
Shipping to areas outside of the USA: Generally I ship postal air first class mail. Shipping varies depending on what country they are going to. It ranges from $11.50 to Canada to $18 or more to Australia etc.
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.

Cereal Eats: When Classic Cereals Try New Flavors, Fail
Breakfastime musings about cereal.
As I set out to write a rather negative review of my two favorite cereals, I was seized with guilt. I almost stopped writing it so many times but I had to get these confused feelings out into the world. As I've said before, classic cereals are branching out with so many new flavors. Sometimes this is a good thing, other times, a sorry miss.
New Frosted Toast Crunch
It's no secret that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of my all-time favorite cereals and arguably the most perfect cereal ever created.
A piece of CTC has a soft, square body and fuzzy coat of cinnamon sugar that melts the moment it hits your tongue. This coating swirls elegantly through the milk, in a perfect balance of cinnamon sugar. I could go on but, yeah, you get the point.
I was somewhat shocked and quite excited when I saw a new flavor of, well, Toast Crunch had come out: Frosted Toast Crunch.
Embarrassingly enough, I've never tried the quasi-mythical French Toast Crunch but trying the new Frosted Toast Crunch felt a bit like discovering a long lost sibling. In the days leading up to my first taste, I pondered many questions.
Was it simply frosted Cinnamon Toast Crunch? And if so, would it have a hard coating like Frosted Mini Wheats? What exactly is "frosted toast," and does it merit its own crunch?
The box describes it as "artificially flavored frosted vanilla squares dusted with cinnamon." Now, I'm a huge vanilla fan. But rarely does true vanilla flavor come through in packaged goods such as this, and I hardly expected Wendell the Baker to be scraping individual vanilla beans and leaving the lovely specks on the squares. (OK, a small part of me did expect that).
I respect a good sugary cereal but oh goodness, this one is just too much. Nothing but the flavor of store-bought frosting, that leaves your teeth aching and your tongue numb. After trying a few more handfuls and a bowlful with milk, I could feel myself warming to it, but it was only because of a small hit of "cinnamon dust."
So if that's the only good quality, why would I ever choose to buy this over regular/perfect Cinnamon Toast Crunch? That would be like Reese's coming out with cups filled with sugary paste with a small layer of peanut butter. I don't understand it and I don't want to. Just give me back my Cinnamon Toast Crunch and we'll forget this ever happened.
New Honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Blends
Another top cereal in my book is Honey Bunches of Oats. If I haven't said it before, Honey Bunches RULES. It gives a cereal lover the best of all worlds: crunch and texture, with a flavor balance of light sweetness and basic toasty goodness. It's filling enough to be a breakfast cereal, hearty enough to be a dinner cereal, and tasty enough to be a quick-snack bowl of cereal. But I will fully extol the merits of Honey Bunches at another time.
Here again we have an instance of a perfectly delicious cereal gone astray. Now, Honey Bunches of Oats varieties are not a new thing, and some of them are really great, but its two newest flavors, the Fruit Blends, did not win me over.
Crispy Peach and Crunchy Raspberry held promise—I like both of those fruits—but an aggressive whiff of candy-like peach hit me upon opening the box and almost deterred me from continuing. I wish there was more raspberry (which isn't bad) and a lot less peach. It's fruity and aggressive in all the wrong ways.
I was instantly leery of the Crispy Banana and Crunchy Blueberry flavor. My fears were confirmed when the flakes proved to be nearly straight-up banana chips. I tried the blueberry clusters alone, which weren't terrible on their own. But again, the fruit flavors were way too much and brought to mind fruity vitamins and Nutrigrain bars.
I'm sure there's an audience for these cereals, but I'll be sticking very close to my original Honey Bunches.
So the question: are cereal makers flying too close to the sun with these unprecedented flavors? There's a very fine line between great and terrible when it comes to cereal varieties. What do you all think? Any thoughts on love-or-hate varieties that you need to get off your chest?

There\'s a pause and a crack in the telephone line as The Madman from the Sudan picks up the receiver on the other end.
The barbaric Madman offers a polite \"hello\" and then, when asked to describe his style of wrestling, breaks into character.
\"I started hardcore wrestling,\" he spews. \"I was the first to use forks, hammers, nails ... everything. There are a bunch of idiots walking around trying to act like Abdullah.\"
This is not just any Abdullah.
Wrestling lore has it that the Butcher ... the unpredictable, bloodthirsty Abdullah the Butcher ... is in his sixth decade of carnage.
Lore also has it that the 400-plus-lb. lunatic has left fans in tears as, in his wrestling persona, he threatened to attack with his arsenal of cutlery.
The same Abdullah the Butcher who will be featured in the main event at tomorrow night\'s Canadian Professional Wrestling mega-card at Hull\'s Robert Guertin Centre, vowing to put on a performance this area will never forget.
\"Abdullah is coming back,\" he says as he once again gets his wrestling-speak tongue revved up. \"People there are going to see a 425-lb. man move like they\'ve never seen a man move before. When I get off the plane, I\'m going to run out of the airport and right to the arena. I am coming.\"
It\'s also the same soft-spoken Abdullah the Butcher who was born Lawrence Shreeve in Windsor. Part of a family of 10, the Butcher jokes in his wrestling-speak: \"Every time the police came to our house, there\'d be one more of us missing. That\'s how poor we were. We had to eat one of the other kids.\"
He now lives in Atlanta, Ga., where he proudly operates Abdullah the Butcher\'s House of Ribs and Chinese Food. But he still gets back to Windsor often to visit his 87-year-old mom, who The Madman says can\'t watch his in-ring carnage.
\"People used to call the house and tell my dad he should be ashamed of what I was doing,\" says a subdued Abdullah, who\'s been married for 27 years to Mrs. Abdullah, a saint who also refuses to watch her husband behave so boorishly in an arena.
But madmen can\'t stay subdued for long.
It\'s been suggested Abdullah is 66 years old, born Nov. 2, 1936. But he disputes that. \"I\'m 29,\" he says. \"I\'m still fast.\"
And who\'s to argue with The Madman?
As a youth, he learned karate and judo; Abdullah says he\'s a grandmaster seventh degree. A trip to the Windsor Arena would change his life.
\"I saw this wrestler-promoter Jack Britton,\" says Abdullah. \"He was driving a dark blue, 1963 Cadillac. He said to me, \'I can make a lot of money with you, kid.\'
\"Well, I\'m still here.\"
Abdullah says it was Gino Brito, one of the men behind tomorrow\'s card in Hull, who was the target of his first foreign object.
\"It was Buck Lake Ranch, Indiana,\" says Abdullah. \"I broke a chair and started hitting him with the leg.\"
That jump-started a career of bloody brutality. Crimson-soaked feuds with guys like The Sheik, Bobo Brazil, Dusty Rhodes and Cactus Jack gave him a reputation as the craziest giver and taker of punishment out there.
Abdullah will be front and centre in a new wrestling promotion, Atlanta Pro Wrestling, which will have a Nov. 12 show.
But first, there\'s the show in Hull. He\'s promising more mayhem, vowing it\'ll be a show spectators will never forget.
Retire? There\'ll be no senior citizens home for The Madman any time soon.
\"I can\'t stop,\" he says. \"I want to pound on somebody. I just get a kick out of it.\"
And we\'ve gotten a big kick out of you Abdullah.
I\'d say thanks for the memories, but I\'m afraid in appreciation he\'ll gouge a chunk out of my forehead tomorrow night.
THE BIG SHOW: At the Guertin show tomorrow, I\'ll be doing my part to make sure that Pierre Carl Ouellet has a fair strap match against Thunder. You see, this yappy pipsqueak JJ Crooke has been sticking his nose into PCO\'s business. And I aim to ensure that doesn\'t happen tomorrow. So the little man is in big trouble -- he\'s handcuffed to me so he won\'t interfere. Abdullah will team with Wild Dangerous Dan to face Guy Sauriol and Dave Le Justicier. Among the other matches is CPW champ Dynamite Tommy Blade vs. Paranoid Jake Matthews. The show begins at 7:30. Don\'t miss it!
