MESA, ARIZONA -- I recently rented a 24' trailer from Cruise America's Los Angeles (Carson) location in September 2010 with the intention of traveling to a campground near Kernville, California, which is approximately 200 miles from my starting location. I along with 14 members of my family departed for Kernville the following day at approximately 9:30 AM.
At approximately between 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM and 130 miles into the trip, one of my family members who had rented a 19' RV from Cruise America (due to my recommendation) and had been following behind, noticed smoke coming from the rear of the trailer I was hauling. I immediately pulled to the side of the highway to investigate the source of the smoke. The smoke appeared to be coming from the rotor drum, so we decided to exit the highway into the nearest town which was Mojave, CA.
As I was returning to enter my vehicle from examining the source of the smoke, I noticed the electrical connector from my vehicle to the trailer had come off from the end attached to my vehicle sometime between the time we left and reached the Mojave desert, which prompted additional concerns because I was aware that meant I had no brake lights or turn signals.
The connector end that had come off was severely damaged due to having been dragged in transit. This was only the first of many problems/issues I would have with Cruise America. (If the connector can easily come off, it should have been secured using other means when the trailer was hitched to my vehicle at the time of pick up.)
As I made my way to a gas station to assess the situation, one of the trailer wheels completely came off... tire, rim, lug nuts, and rotor drum all intact! I immediately contacted Cruise America's Traveler's Assistance phone number and spoke to a representative who advised me that he would contact a local towing company to assess the severity of the situation.
Due to the obvious damage to the vehicle, I requested for traveler's assistance representative to begin looking into the nearest replacement for the trailer as I was certain that it would require several hours repair the damage even if it could be repaired. He advised me that it was Cruise America's policy to have it assessed by a mechanic or tow truck operator before taking further action.
To my recollection, the towing company arrived approximately 20-30 minutes later and determined that the damage was a mechanical issue and was in no way my fault. In addition, the towing company advised me that even if they were able to fix the rotor drum and tire that had come off, they could not allow me to continue on with the trailer for concern for my family as the other portions of the trailer may have also been damaged or compromised (example of great customer service shown by the towing company, NOT Cruise America). As a result, the towing company relayed this information to Cruise America.
By then it was approximately 12:30 - 1:00 PM and Cruise America's traveler's assistance representative followed up by contacting me with the following 2 options: (1) Drive back 120+ miles to pick up a replacement back in Los Angeles (Carson) OR (2) Wait for a replacement trailer to be brought to my location in Mojave, CA which would take at least 5 hours.
The representative advised since it would take much longer for a replacement to be brought out to me because the replacement would have to be prepared prior to delivery, I should consider option 1. However, I advised the representative that I had 14 members of my family (which included my 8 month pregnant wife and several children which are under the age of 4) sitting in 90+ degree heat in a gas station parking lot so leaving them behind to pick up the replacement trailer only to return after dark was not an option I could consider and waiting for a replacement to be delivered 4-5 hours with rush hour traffic crossing through Los Angeles was also unacceptable.
I advised the representative that in addition to having my family stranded in a parking lot in a remote desert location, most of us had taken the day off or vacation and that we had paid reservations for the campground so all the time we were spending waiting for Cruise America to make the situation right was essentially costing us money. At one point during the course of my conversation with the Cruise America representative, the representative would not acknowledge me or respond. When I asked if he was still on the phone listening, the representative advised me that he was listening but was not acknowledging me as to not escalate the situation.
This may be Cruise America's standard procedure, but it seemed very insensitive and actually made me more outraged. As a result, I immediately requested to speak with a manager or supervisor, at which point the representative advised me that he was the manager on duty and those were the only 2 options I had. I advised the representative about my dissatisfaction with the way I was being treated and the 2 options that were being given to me. I then advised the representative that I would call him back after consulting the other members of my family regarding the options that were given to me.
My family members were obviously outraged, disgusted, and appalled as any reasonable human being would be with the options I was given. During my discussion with the other members of my family, it was pointed out that the nearest Cruise America hub was in Bakersfield, CA so I once again contacted the representative to inquire if a replacement could be provided through the Bakersfield hub. The representative advised me that the Bakersfield hub did not have the same exact trailer as the one I rented so unless I was willing to take a pop-up trailer which was smaller and a down grade, there was nothing he could offer me.
I proceeded to inquire about the possibility of replacing the damaged trailer for an RV instead, at which point the representative advised me that he could only replace the damaged trailer for the exact same trailer unless it was a lesser trailer such as the pop-up trailer. Again I advised him that I felt there was a severe lack of customer service and urgent concern for my family's well being, so I wanted to speak with his superior about this matter. The representative advised me that he was not authorized to escalate the call to his superior unless the situation called for it.
I told him I thought my situation was sufficient to escalate the call and he advised me that he would call me back after consulting his superior. The Cruise America representative called me back 10-20 minutes later and advised me that his superior offered a 3rd option, which was to terminate the contract/rental agreement on the spot. I was speechless for a moment, but mustered up enough to tell him I would again consult my family and call him back.
At this point, my family and I had enough of dealing with Cruise America so we tried to figure out every possible solution to get out of the predicament on our own but being in a remote desert town, there were not sufficient options available to us to do so. Not to mention that all the back and forth between myself and Cruise America's traveler's assistance department, it was now between 2:30 - 3:00 PM.
Having been put in a helpless situation without any other options, I made an attempt to contact the representative that I had been dealing with to inquire if the trailer could at the very least be delivered to the campground in Kernville, CA instead of the gas station in Mojave, CA so we would not have to waste any more time at the gas stations and we could at least check in for our campground reservation. At that point, I spoke to a new Cruise America traveler's assistance representative.
I pleaded with the new representative to deliver the replacement trailer to our campground, so at the very least we would not lose our reservation at the campground. The representative advised he would have to confirm if this could be done and if Cruise America was willing to accommodate my request. The representative called back and advised me that it would be delivered to the campground.
Shortly afterward, I received a call from the towing company assigned to deliver the replacement trailer wanting to verify the location of the damaged trailer and the delivery address of the campground at which point I was advised that the replacement would be delivered approximately between 9:30-10:00 PM. My family and I left the gas station location approximately at 3:30 PM. At that point we had spent 2-2.5 hours on the road before the incident and another 3.5-4 hours dealing with Cruise America's TA department pleading for a fair and reasonable solution. My family and I eventually made our way to the campgrounds approximately 5:00-5:30 PM.
After arriving at the campground, I contacted the Cruise America Los Angeles (Carson) hub to speak with one of the maintenance technicians to ensure that the correct electrical connector was supplied with the replacement trailer because at the time I originally picked up the first trailer the electrical connector had to be modified. Although I did not speak to a maintenance technician directly, a service representative relayed the request and received confirmation from a maintenance technician that the exact same connector that I was originally provided would be with the replacement trailer.
Following the call to the Cruise America Los Angeles hub, I called the towing company several times to obtain delivery status updates as the hours passed. Although I was initially advised by the towing company that the replacement trailer was on the way and it would arrive approximately between 9:30-10:00 PM, 10:00 PM came and went. I again contacted the towing company and was advised that although the trailer was en route they could not reach the driver by cell phone or radio due to poor reception.
During this time while waiting for the replacement trailer to arrive, a good portion of my family could not rest easy or lay down because we only had folding chairs. My family could not shower either, because that if they had, they would be exposed to the cold fridge air of the night because we still had not received our trailer and had no other shelter. Keep in mind that we were no longer in the hot desert, but in the mountains where it gets extremely cold at night.
Eventually, the replacement trailer arrived between 11:30 PM - 12:00 AM at which point I checked to see if the trailer had the correct electrical connector I called about, but it did not. At that point, I realized I was looking at a trailer that would not have brake lights or turn signals again!
Having lost an entire day the day before (Friday) dealing with the mechanical issue of the original trailer and Cruise America's traveler's assistance department, I found myself having to spend additional time (Saturday) seeking out and obtaining an adapter to make sure the electrical connector would work and I could safely operate the trailer with brake and signal lights when heading back home.
I initially went into Kernville to find an adapter but was advised that I would have to travel 10 miles down the mountain to the next town, Lake Isabella to find one. The round trip to Lake Isabella just for an adapter took approximately 40 minutes and a traveling distance of approximately 20 miles down and back up the mountain.
On the day of our departure (Sunday), I was preparing to install the trailer hitch to my vehicle when I noticed the hitch pin/clip was missing. It was either taken by the tow truck driver who delivered the replacement trailer or was never included with the replacement trailer. As a result, I found myself scrambling once again to find and obtain another component, but a hitch pin/clip this time! The campground check out time was 11:00 AM, but it was already 10:00 AM when I realized the replacement trailer was missing the vital component.
Fortunately, the campground staff was sympathetic to my situation (another example of great customer service shown this time by the campground staff, NOT Cruise America) and the events leading up to that moment so we were granted a late check out without penalty. I ultimately located a store that had a hitch pin/clip and was able to get the replacement trailer hitched to my vehicle.
By the time I arrived back home on Sunday evening, I and everyone else in my family were exhausted more from the terrible experience caused by the trailer incident which was compounded by Cruise America's unwillingness to provide a prompt and fair solution, more than the trip itself.
When it was all said and done, we lost a full day of our trip which was time off/vacation time, we were made to spend several hours in 90+ degree heat in a gas station parking lot, we lost a full day of spending time at the campground which we paid for reservations, we received an incomplete replacement trailer which required for me to spend additional time to locate and obtain parts in order to haul the trailer safely, I spent additional time explaining the situation to additional Cruise America representatives upon returning the rental, and spent time composing a formal complaint to Cruise America, while reliving every moment of it again.
The right thing for Cruise America to do would have been to replace the damaged trailer with an RV from their Bakersfield hub and have it delivered to us immediately regardless of whether it would have been an upgrade. Although it may not have been a profitable rental, it would have surely generated repeat business from my members of my family as well as referrals. Instead, Cruise America now has over a dozen people telling others about this horrific experience and advising them if they are looking to rent an RV or trailer... not to rent it from Cruise America.
MESA, ARIZONA -- I would not recommend renting an RV from Cruise America. The RV we rented was not properly maintained. The wheel studs sheared off during our drive cross country creating a unsafe situation. We were fortunate not be involved in an accident. The travel assistance that Cruise America offers is very disorganized and not very helpful. The travel assistance staff wanted us to drive the vehicle in its unsafe condition to a Cruise America rental office that was 30 miles away. When we refused, the representative sent out a tow truck the following day. There was not an apology or concern about the loss of time to our vacation.
When the tow truck driver refused to tow it due to safety concerns, the travel assistance supervisor had to be pressured into offering us a replacement vehicle. It took a full day to receive the new vehicle which was an older model than we had rented. It had smaller storage space and it did accommodate all of our storage needs. When we complained we were told there was no option and nothing they can do. The travel assistance staff was not very helpful and not forthcoming with full information. Upon return of the RV, the rental company did credit us for the down time that we had. However, we were not informed this would be the case by the corporate office.
Each time we called the 1-800 number, we were placed on hold, we had to leave our information and then wait for a representative to call us back. At times we had to call several times to find out information regarding a replacement vehicle. We had to argue in order to get permission for a rental car while a replacement vehicle was being sent to us.
The new RV did not have the registration, insurance information, or rental manual. After receiving the replacement RV, a representative did not call to make sure we received the replacement RV. We rented from a national company because they advertised nationwide roadside assistance and their roadside assistance was poor at best.
Both RV's were in disrepair including: AC vents were broken, draws and cabinets did not remain closed during driving, outside storage units did not lock properly, screws were falling out of the bench seats, the refrigerator was missing shelves and storage compartments.
The digital display on the refrigerator was broken, the indoor under the bed storage compartment was broken, the side windows did not close properly, and gas mileage was far below advertised mileage. The local rental agent was far more accommodating and was concerned about the safety of the vehicle. But if you rent an RV and have any problems, the corporate services are poor and the vehicles are not well maintained.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- We rented an RV for a trip of 3 weeks starting in San Francisco and ending in Salt Lake City. The RV we got was old (140.000 miles on the odd meter), dirty, had a flat tire, many kitchen doors did not close properly. We asked to fix this which meant that we had to wait extra hours, but most of the problems were not fixed properly. 2 times during the trip we had to visit a garage, because of a flat tire (indeed the same) and engine problems. The service was very, very bad. Before making costs the user is obliged to contact the Cruise America Service number, which meant hours of waiting. 5 times they promised to call back, which happened only the last time.
Never rent a Cruise America RV. You can get a very old and dirty RV, with lousy service for (about) $ 1500 a week. There must be better deals.
I wanted you to be aware of a very disappointing experience we had with Cruise America while renting an RV. The Fresno dealer literally had us drive the vehicle off the lot with a flat tire. Here is what happened: We reserved a 25 ft motor home from their Fresno, Ca location. I tried calling on Thursday and Friday to confirm our reservation, but all I got was the answering machine. I left messages, but I never received a return phone call. I called the 800 number to let them know that I could not contact the dealer and that I needed to talk with someone about picking up the RV.
On Saturday, we drove from San Diego to Fresno to pick up the RV. A few miles north of Bakersfield, we called the RV dealer to let them know we were on our way. Again, there was no answer. At this time, my family was upset that our vacation was going to be ruined. I called the 800 number to let them know of the situation. The person said she would contact the district manager to find out what was going on. She also mentioned that she would check to see if she could find another dealer nearby that we could rent from. She was very helpful throughout this ordeal.
A few minutes later the owner of the Fresno store, called and let me know that he was sorry about what happened and that someone should have been there. He said that there would be someone thereby the time we got to the RV lot. We arrived at the Fresno dealer at 1:45 pm. After we found out which vehicle we had, I noticed that the right rear tire was flat. I pointed this out to the employee and he said it would be taken care of. After contacting service, he said he would take 2 hours before the service truck could come out to replace the tire. After I said that was too long, he contacted service again and they said I could take the RV to a tire store about 2 blocks away.
The RV was in poor condition: broken shelves, cabinet door completely removed from the hinges, an explosion of some cleaning solution in one of the drawers that was not cleaned up and a missing fire extinguisher. Then, we had a problem with the payment due. For some reason, the computer system could not match the amount due as what I had listed on my quote and they wanted to charge me an extra $200. After about an hour working on this, the customer service person was able to get an amount due close to what I had been quoted.
We finally left the lot at 3:50 pm. I drove over to the tire store where they told me that they were closing in 10 minutes and could not help me. I drove the RV back to the RV lot, where it was closed. At about 4:15 pm I called the 800 number and they said a service person would be there in about 30 minutes. The serviceman called me about 5 pm and told me that he would be there in about 30 to 40 minutes. He said he had just got the call about 15 minutes ago.
The serviceman showed up around 5:30 pm and worked on the tire. During this time, he was interrupted several times with personal phone calls on his cell phone, at which time, he promptly stopped working on fixing the tire and talked with his friends. We finally were able to leave Fresno at 6 pm - over 4 hours later. After I notified the main office of this issue, they insist that the extra $200 they tried to charge me over the quoted amount and that they adjusted before the trip, was actually a credit to make up for the problems. Do not rent an RV from this company. You will be in for some headaches.

Sound Tiger Backman's goals bring back 'that old feeling'
BRIDGEPORT -- He was one of Yale's leading scorers for four years, a guy the Bulldogs looked to when they needed a goal.
Sean Backman's role in professional hockey, including the past two seasons with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, has more often been denying chances to that guy on other teams.
"It's something at first I wasn't comfortable with," said Greenwich's Backman, "being that guy in college, a power-play guy, a guy who scores goals."
Once he got accustomed to it, he has thrived. Still, a night like Saturday, his first two-goal game in three years as a pro?
"It kind of brought me back to that old feeling," Backman said. "Like I told you (Saturday) night, it's me going out there and working hard every night. Goals will come then."
Backman, 26, had sat out three games in a row with some players coming in for a look on tryouts, with some rearrangement of the line combinations. If not for a late suspension to Brett Gallant, he was probably sitting out Saturday, too, but he got the call from the coaching staff.
"I've got a lot of respect for Backs," Sound Tigers coach Scott Pellerin said. "He's the type of player who comes to work every day and works his tail off. He brings that energy, that speed, but he has some finish."
Understanding the transition from one level to another is an important step, Pellerin said.
"It's a different game. A lot of people have to find out their piece of the puzzle, what gives them the best opportunity to continue playing," Pellerin said. "You see guys who don't understand that, don't see that, and don't stay in the league very long."
Backman scored early Saturday on a high backhander and in the second period on a rebound. They were his second and third goals this season after he scored seven as a rookie in 2010-11 for the Texas Stars and another seven last year for Bridgeport.
"I had my fair share of chances last year," Backman said. "For whatever reason, they weren't going in.
"Hopefully those two goals will spark something."

In light of recent events in the BC backcountry and closer to home at Strathcona Provincial Park, the timing of Avalanche Awareness Day on Mount Washington couldn't be better.
The one-day event this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. features demos designed to educate and promote snow safety for those interested in mountain travel.
"We've been running our Avalanche Awareness Days for a number of years now in partnership with the Canadian Avalanche Association," explains resort spokesperson Brent Curtain. "And in light of what we've seen lately in the headlines, we hope to see increased interest from skiers and boarders looking to learn more about how to do these activities safely."
Mount Washington's Avalanche Awareness Day will offer a variety of demos designed to introduce attendees to everything from technical backcountry gear to digging and analyzing snow pits. A beacon race will add an element of fun to the event and give bragging rights to the fastest person using a transceiver.
"If there's one key point we need to get across to any new backcountry user on Vancouver Island, it's the fact that avalanches do happen here," says Mount Washington patrol director Jesse Percival. "We perform daily assessments of snow stability and hazard and when it's required we will perform control techniques that include ski cutting and explosive deployment."
That happens within the resort but Percival warns about the potential dangers facing backcountry users. "
Once you head into the backcountry there are no safeguards in place. Good judgment, training and knowledge are essential for those considering backcountry travel. Plus you should never head out alone.
On Mount Washington, steeper terrain in the popular Outback and West Basin areas are part of the regular curriculum of avalanche control work. Mount Washington's Pro Patrol employ trained avalanche forecasters and technicians to perform control work on the mountain. They are frequently used by Comox Valley Search and Rescue to assist in backcountry rescue.
Mount Washington Avalanche Forecaster Bill Phipps volunteered his time in the recent rescue last week in Strathcona Provincial Park.
"Having trained forecasters and technicians are essential in operating a mountain like Mount Washington," says Percival. "They assess and control the avalanche hazard within the resort and frequently support rescue efforts in the surrounding area."
In the backcountry and beyond the patrolled boundaries of the Resort, the slopes are not controlled and this is where the greater risks exist for skiers and boarders.
"You need the proper training and tools to perform self-rescue when venturing into uncontrolled terrain," adds Percival. For more information on the Avy Awareness Day, visit the events calendar online at mountwashington.ca. – Mount Washington Alpine Resort.

Tina Fey Raps? Listen to Her Verse on Donald Glover's New Album
Tina Fey rapping is probably not what you expected to hear this morning, but it's for real. Fey teamed up with 'Community' star (and former '30 Rock' writer) Donald Glover for a verse on his new ablum "Royalty" and…well, you're going to have to listen for yourself.
Tina Fey is no stranger to rapping for comedy. She's done it on 'SNL' and on '30 Rock' but here she makes an attempt at dropping some serious rhymes on the Glover (aka Childish Gambino) track "Real Estate" that closes out his new album.
Glover released the album online yesterday and it features a bevy of hip-hop guest spots including Bun B, RZA, Ghostface Killa and Beck. But it's the '3o Rock' star that closes out the album with her first official rap. So what's the verdict?
Well, it kinda sounds like what you would imaging if Tina Fey was rapping. It's a little stilted, sure, and sounds as if she's reading her rhymes of a sheet of paper. With someone as quick and smart as Tina Fey, we'd imagine freestyling would be more her thing.
Take a listen the Tina Fey rap below (skip to 4:58 for Fey's verse), follow along with the "lyrics" below and let us know what you think in the comments. You can download the entire Childish Gambino album here.
"Yeah we in here, we in this thing / Gambino in this thing / Royalty is forever / We ballin' so we f—in' up the hardwood homey / This is the life we live son / My president is black and my Prius is blue motherf—er / Royalty all day / We dropping racks at Nordstrom son / That's racks on racks dammit / You feel me? / This is the part where most people would say something crazy and drop the n-word after it / Not going to / Not gonna do that / I don't feel comfortable! / I'm out!"

Rox Top Huskies Behind Long Gem
The Rox beat the Duluth Huskies 6-2 Thursday night to improve to 9-6 in the second half of the season. With Waterloo's loss last night, St. Cloud is now 3.5 games out of first place.
Holy Angels graduate Lucas Long was lights-out on the mound for the Rox, allowing only three hits and a pair of walks through eight innings before surrendering a two-run home run in the ninth. The righty struck out six.
Chris Paul was 3-4 at the plate for the Rox with a pair of RBI, as St. Cloud pounded out seven hits and drew six walks in the game as a team. The Rox scored five runs in the bottom of the first and never looked back in the win.
St. Cloud is back home Friday night to host the Alexandria Blue Anchors at 7:05.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations 8CFR214.2(f)(9)(i) govern on-campus employment for international students. Under these regulations, international students can work on campus for the educational institution provided their employment does not displace a U.S. citizen and the student is in academic good standing. Students can also work for an outside company operating on the campus, if the company provides a direct service to students. For example, international students can work for the bookstore, but they cannot work for a construction company building a structure on campus.
During the regular academic year, work is limited to a maximum of 20 hours per week. Students may work full-time during official breaks (winter and summer). Students are discouraged from working during their first year.
If you secure on campus employment, visit OIE to ensure your employment meets the USCIS definition of on-campus employment and to make arrangements for getting the required federal Social Security number.
F-1 students who maintain lawful status and who plan to enroll at a different institution the next academic term may continue on-campus employment at CSC until the reporting date of the new school. They also may begin employment at the new institution as soon as that institution has issued a new form I-20.
CSC has limited on-campus employment opportunities. Watch for advertisements around campus, announcements on the CSC webpage or visit an office where you would like to work. The Human Resources Office may also have a list of employment opportunities. Frequent opportunities include:

Amidst public concerns that the work of designing and building a new high school will detract from the work of educating students, Re-1 is launching an ambitious project.
The worries certainly are valid. Any person or group of people asked to take on time-consuming new responsibilities must determine which parts of their original job must be done by them, which can be delegated, and which can be set aside, at least temporarily. After years of budget cuts, the district has fewer people to whom duties can be delegated, and non-essential tasks have long been pared away.
Yet the process of figuring out what the new building should include shouldn't be considered separate from the educational duties of Re-1 administration, faculty, staff, from the needs of current students or, for that matter, from the responsibilities of the community Re-1 serves.
It's easy to defend a school as being good enough for today's students because it was good enough for students of a prior generation. (Whether it actually ever was is a topic no longer worth discussing, although it's fair to point out that from the very first year the current M-CHS building was occupied, students complained about significant temperature problems.) It's tempting, when someone else is paying more than half of the bill, to want to add details, or perhaps even big features, that otherwise would be out of the question in a cash-strapped community.
Somewhere in the middle is the high school building that Re-1 really needs.
Community members will have plenty of opportunity to share their ideas - not that they can't dial up the administration office nearly every weekday of the year. They'll be able to specify what's important to them and what they believe to be unnecessary or frivolous. They'll get a chance to connect the building to the community's values.
That's not as easy as it sounds, because this building must be designed for an unforeseeable future.
Educators, perhaps more than nearly anyone else, are aware of the changes Cortez has experienced since the mid-1960s, when the current high school was on the drawing board. The landscape looks the same. The economy has ebbed and flowed. The student body has changed, and the challenges those students face have grown.
Reading, writing and math are still vitally important, but learning them is no longer enough, if it ever was. Students must be taught skills they can't learn while sitting in rows of desks facing a teacher who lectures and writes on a chalkboard. They'll need to be able to perform - not just talk about, but actually do - tasks that today are unimaginable. Above all, they'll need to know how to learn new skills, because the speed at which knowledge grows and changes is accelerating. Our children need to be adaptable, able to think on their feet, and equipped with enough successes that they dare to tackle new challenges. That's the kind of learning that must take place in this new school building.
It's important to identify current impediments so we don't import them to the new building, and that requires listening to some complaints. It's important to recognize that some students still will want to enter traditional occupations, some will want to dive headfirst into the outside world, and some will have no idea what they want to do but must be able to depend on their school to keep their options open.
Now is the time to dream big and listen to the dreams of others. That doesn't mean ignoring systemic issues; it means considering possibilities that, until Re-1 voters said yes to the bond issue, were distant dreams indeed.

Except he didn't target Eva except in a fantasy scene. Eva was actually targeted by Erika for a different reason.
If Georges goal was just to marry Shannon then I agree, there would be no reason. But what happened was that we got some kind of hint from a fantasy scene that he does kill family members. Ep3 and the one you mentioned ep6. Now the fantasy reason is probably the lie, so what remains is the possibility that his goal is not exactly as he's stated.

Thanks to you, actually, I've decided to give the Pony Theory some thought, and... it works. It actually works.
Ryukishi spent his last interview talking about a "key" that would "unlock" all the closed rooms, and... what if the Pony Theory is it? That is, that Beatrice is in fact a physical existence on the island separate from anyone else? What if BOTH Shkanon and Erika-Doesn't-Exist are true? That leaves a slot open for another person, doesn't it? Sure, it's the Mysterious Person X all over again, but now it's the Mysterious Person Beatrice, which at least has some precedent.
Furthermore, it would explain something that's been bothering me for quite some time now. Assume Shkanon is true. Let's also assume that all the victims of Ep1's first twilight are, in fact, dead. How else do you explain the person Battler heard exit the boiler room during Ep1's fourth and fifth twilights? Mysterious Person Beatrice ties that up nicely.
With the Pony Theory, also, we can take the challenge letters completely at FACE VALUE. We can take everything attributed to Beatrice at face value. The theory suddenly clears up things that we always assumed were mysteries.
It's like the ultimate misdirection.

And about Battler hearing someone. That doesn't mean anything... He was under complete stress and panic, he didn't want someone he knew to be the culpirt, so his brain subconsciously probably created this sound for him. If I remember right he is the only one who hears it.
And I for one never liked this 'Person X' garabage, even if they are named Beatrice..

Oh, by the way. Did you notice that the pilot of the airplane that flies the Ushiromiyas to Niijima in the morning is also one "Captain Kawabata"?
In short, every instance of "I wouldn't put it past Kinzo." supports the image of a Kinzo that you wouldn't put anything past -- but does not actually build it.
So we're mostly left with claiming that the witch is real and not wanting to see anyone.
Well, these are hardly traits of a daring eccentric who can randomly wake up in the night and go for a walk by jumping out of the window. They're the traits of a disturbed and suffering man which actually make one less daring. The image of the super-Kinzo for whom nothing is unthinkable doesn't fit with this.

The existence of a real Beatrice does fit with the scenario of both shkannon and ghosterika being true. And in that case Erikatrice would become the most logic assumption.
This option would also save 2 out of the 3 couples, instead of only 1 with classic shkannon theory.
The only problem I see with this is that according the Zepar and Furfur, Beato, Shannon and Kanon are exactly in the same situation.
We know that what Zepar and Furfur said is of extreme importance, so if the correct interpretation is the one supposed by shkannon theorists, then Beatrice should fit in that as well.
If the fact that only one among the 3 couples can succeed is because shannon and kanon are the same person, so even Beatrice should be another personality of the same person. Else it should be possible for Beato to still crown her love dream regardless of Kanon or Shannon winning the test.
I do not relate with your definition of "eccentric". You seem to imply that eccentric can only be defined someone who does things not done by anyone else. That's not the common definition. Eccentric is whoever does things blatantly against the norm, which includes a very large group of people if we search through the whole world.
Being fanatic of occultism is, for example, not exceptionally rare, but it is eccentric. By the way Oliver "being a fanatic of occultism" does not imply being a practitioner of occultism anymore than being a fanatic of movies involves being an actor or a director.
Yet again I do not relate with your definitions.

The idea that "Shannon is Beatrice and plans to bomb the family if Battler does not remember his sin or someone stops her, and Kanon is trying to stop this plan to get his sister back" explains this love duel equally well! Neither can live while the other survives, as neither will give in!

Hideyoshi is George's employer. This is Japan of 1986, where employment is still seen as 'for life' in most industries, and were Hideyoshi to oppose George's desire to marry Shannon, he can make him essentially unemployable by anyone else with one flick of a pen. George is completely at Hideyoshi's mercy in that and has precious little legal recourse against such treatment. Sure, he can fight his mother, he can tell the rest of the family to go die in a fire, but his father is the one person that has George in his power...
While Hideyoshi and Eva are alive, that is. If they mysteriously die, George inherits Hideyoshi's company and this weakness vanishes. So either George has Hideyoshi's approval or he has to kill both Eva and Hideyoshi -- but everyone else's opinion doesn't matter at all.

No Shiro Kaisen, this doesn't work as well.
Shannon wants George
Beatrice wants Battler
Kanon wants Jessica
There is no Shannon and Battler in the love test. Therefore you just need to get beatrice out of the picture to have both Shannon and Kanon happy.
But that's not what happens, because at a certain point Beatrice loses by default, she's already out of the game, and yet Shannon and Kanon still need to fight.
also your theory does not explain why Zepar and Furur claim that Beatrice, Kanon and Shannon are "less than human". and why the love test will make them "whole" so that they can be allowed to love.

Beatrice is a personality created by Shannon and is in love with Battler. Shannon remains in love with George. However, unlike the bullcrap DID perpetuated by Shkanon fans, a personality cannot be "killed." So for Kanon to be happy, he must kill his sister. When Battler is out of the picture, when he is locked in his closed room, Beatrice is unable to fulfill her objective of causing Battler to remember his sin. She plans to set off the bomb instead. Kanon cannot let this happen, because he must save his lovely ojou-sama. Sayo has to try and eliminate this Beatrice personality somehow, and she assumes that since it is after Battler, she would have to eliminate Battler to get rid of it.

The weakness in looking at it from a narrative perspective is that you can pinpoint WHO nearly all the time, WHY some of the time, but almost never HOW, unless you've found a similar trick in another mystery you've read. Therefore I can put forth all I want that I think Beato is an entity of some sort with no firm ties to Shannon/Kanon/Jessica, but if I can't explain how the murders are committed or why, most people won't pay me much mind. Understandably.
Because there are problems with it.
But there are also major problems as put forth with the ShaKanonTrice theory that makes it even unlikely to me.
Spoiler for ep6:
I think the only way I could accept the three of them being the same is if it was "Beato" playing at being both of them. Her not being a part of them, but them being a part of her.

The root remains the same, though. Episode 6 makes it very clear that Beatrice was not a person and was created by someone. Beato's flashback as she realizes the truth of the game makes this very clear. Beatrice is the creation of somebody who is in love with Battler. It can't be Jessica, because Jessica already has "that blonde hair he likes." It can't be any of the moms, because that's silly. No one else would have been on the island both times. Process of elimination says "Shannon."
And what do you mean, "no mention of Kanon being alive?"
And I didn't say Sayo actually COULD kill Beato, just that she thought she could. There's a difference, a very key difference. If you had a personality in your head you realized was trying to bomb your lover to smithereens, you'd try to get rid of them too. But you wouldn't wanna tell your lover you were bat**** crazy, because that would be a bad idea.

Your theory doesn't really has any advantage on shkanon because you still accept the existence of two personalities inside a single body.
Also there are other ways to stop someone from committing a massacre. Killing is not certainly a necessity.
and I repeat again:
when Shannon wins it is said that "the souls are gathering into Shannon".
and as a consequence Kanon and Beatrice are both vanishings.
There's no way the unfortunate incident was caused by a bomb!
P.P.S: Battler says to Beatrice I will kill you! Therfore if you accept Shannontrice you either accept that personalities can be killed or you need to think that Battler is going to kill Shannon.
If Beatrice doesn't join the game she simply loses by default as the part I quoted clearly show.

And you can kill a personality. With therapy you can remove your other personality if you have DID which is can be considered 'killing' that personality. But since I don't think Shannon is THAT mentally crazy, I don't think she has DID, which makes things even easier to explain Shakannon

Like I said, I messed up the specifics, but the core facts are there. I'm going to rework it later.
But one thing:
Shannontrice has an advantage over Shkanontrice because it doesn't necessitate the unbelievably unrealistic conspiracy in which two servants are one maid, nor does it require the absurdity of "switching personalities" in a room to dodge red text.

So we've had a few days of the white stuff. Saturday saw about 20cm of snow come down in a couple of hours across parts of the South East England. Since then it's been below 0 Celsius (sub 32F) so it's still here, no chance of melting yet..
Other parts of the UK have had much more than this. Carlton Reid of Bikebiz and more says it best 'We left for school early to get to badminton club at 8am. It was cancelled: the teacher was snowbound and stuck in traffic. Maybe she could get herself a more reliable form of winter transport?'

Markell to trim programs, raise business taxes to close multimillion-dollar budget gap
Gov. Jack Markell Thursday afternoon unveiled his Fiscal Year 2015 budget proposal, showing he wants to raise some business and franchise taxes and make cuts in established programs to balance a $3.8 billion general fund operating budget. Overall, Markell is proposing approximately $4.3 billion in General Fund spending for the year beginning July 1 and approximately $461 million in bond and capital improvement spending. The plan will take the form of bills that will be introduced in the General Assembly on Jan. 30. The plan includes a pay raise for state employees and just under 0.2 percent in new spending, the governor said, and combined with other factors that require increased spending, represents a 3 percent increase in the FY 2014 operating budget. Markell also earmarked $342.2 million for the state's transportation trust fund, $45.2 million for grants in aid and $460.9 million in bond and capital improvements. The latter includes $253.5 million in infrastructure enhancements and $207.4 million for transportation projects. The budget proposal reflects ideas outlined in his Jan. 23 State of the State address, Markell told reporters during a Wednesday night press briefing. A number of those priorities include money for reinvigorating downtown areas and for helping former felons successfully return to life outside of prison. State employees will receive a 1 percent pay hike, their first since FY 2013, Markell said. "We are continuing to invest in our people, making it more likely we can attract and retain quality employees," the governor said Wednesday. "We're working hard to find a way to make that happen." Markell has budgeted $18.9 million for public education, reflecting an increase of 220 teacher units throughout the state. That growth has come because more parents are deciding to enroll their children in the public education system rather than private or parochial schools, he said. Lt. Gov. Matt Denn said the $12.9 million Health and Social Services budget includes $1.3 million for a startup nurse/family partnership program that will have registered nurses visiting low income, first time mothers to help them with pre- and post-natal care up through the child's second birthday. The program is modeled on similar projects in other states that have shown great promise in improving the lives of these children. "It's really going to get these kids off to a great start," Denn said. The nurse/family partnership is one of only nine new programs for FY 2015, programs that add up to just over $7.4 million or less than 0.2 percent in additional costs over FY 2014. They include $400 million to improve school security, $265 million for a new firearms investigations unit to help curb gun violence, $250 million for a program of pretrial supervision to help keep minor offenders out of the prison system and $250 million to help juvenile offenders once they are released from rehabilitation. To close a projected $139 million deficit in the general fund operating budget, Markell said the state will realize $33 million in savings by not having to pay for one-time programs that have been discontinued, and cut $56.5 million from the transportation, open space, farmland preservation and energy efficiency programs. The remainder of the deficit will be covered by a $50 increase in the annual tax levied on limited liability companies, limited partnerships and general partnerships, and an increase in the minimum annual corporation franchise tax from $75 to $175. Markell's capital budget includes several local construction initiatives, to include $92.6 million for school construction throughout the state, including the Capital, Lake Forest and Polytech districts as well as $16.5 million for projects at Delaware State University, Delaware Technical Community College and the University of Delaware. Also included is $4.2 million for library construction, which includes a project in Harrington and $3 million for construction of a new headquarters facility for Delaware State Police Troop 3. House and Senate Republican leaders scheduled a session to respond to Markell's budget, but after the Dover Post's press time. However, Senate Minority Whip Sen. Gregory F. Lavelle, R-Sharpley, said he'd had only 20 minutes to review the plan, but was not impressed with that he had seen. "Our economy continues to be extremely slow. We need to think about what to do, from a policy standpoint, to turn that around," he said. "Fourth-quarter gross domestic product may be up 4.2 percent, but that's nationally. Locally, we continue to lag the country. Economic growth may be had, Lavelle said, without a spending plan laden with "budget gimmicks and tax increases." "If our economy was growing at 3 percent a year, we wouldn't be having this discussion. We'd be talking about what to do with all the money as opposed how to find the money to fund these bare bones programs The entire FY 2015 state budget is posted on the Delaware Office of Management and Budget website at www.omb.delaware.gov.

The Alabama Legislature is close to approving a plan to borrow $50 million to replace outdated equipment in high school technology programs.
Lawmakers hope giving students better equipment will help make a dent in Alabama's dropout rate.
Bond issue legislation has breezed through the House and a Senate committee with only one negative vote. The tech director for the state Board of Education, Philip Cleveland, said schools have not received state money for equipment since they got $10 million in 2005. He said students in some programs are training on outdated equipment.
Proponents of issuing bonds to pay for school equipment, like former state school board member Gary White, predict stronger career tech programs will reduce Alabama's dropout rate.

Isn't ROCA/ROCOR more conservative than mainline OCA and GOA? If they join SCOBA wouldn't that skew it to amore conservative view?
And there is a problem with this conservative influence?
My take.Yes, ROCOR is more conservative - nobody was judging that in the preceding post, merely making an observation.And I think it was invited to join SCOBA when SCOBA first formed, so as for future membership, why not?
No doubt the ubiquitous Archbishop Mark of Berlin is considering the prospect even now................
What will those who have doubted ROCOR canonicity all these years make of the fact that ROCOR were invited to become founding members of SCOBA but declined?
ConclusionThe position of the Russian Church Abroad in relation to the local churches and heterodox Christians has taken two positions: 1) a missionary one, and 2) one of guardianship.

As you think about your research...
- BE CRITICAL: Not all sources are created equal, whether in print or online. Ask questions like who wrote what you're reading, is it peer-reviewed, what sources are they citing, and so on. Two useful sites are Scholarly vs Popular Resources and Evaluating Information Found on the Internet.
- BE CREATIVE: Some searching will lead to dead ends, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an end after all. Those gaps of research are often where interest lies. In other words, don't rehash other's research, but rather use theirs to bolster your own unique take.
- BE THOUGHTFUL: If you discover a citation that might be useful for a classmate's project, tell them about it.
- BE PROACTIVE: Your research may lead you to materials of interest which are not held in the Tri-College Libraries. Allow yourself time to request materials from other libraries through our Interlibrary Loan Services.
- BE PATIENT: Research is a fluid process. As you research, your questions will evolve, and that is an excellent sign. If, however, you ever get stuck, ask for help! Your professor and music librarians are always happy to help you think through your process.

Sweet talk: Sugars and a sauce for sticky toffee pudding
I found a recipe online for shortbread cookies in the US which includes "powdered sugar". I have never come across this term and was wondering if it is icing sugar? Could you please clarify?
Thank you, Jan
You're completely right - powdered sugar is the same as icing sugar. In the US they have various grades of powdered sugar and usually also list an amount of X's on the package. The more X's the finer it will be. 10X will be the same as the icing sugar you'll find here.
Icing sugar is not pure sugar. It contains anti-caking agents to help keep it flowing freely, usually cornflour or calcium phosphate. My friend Louise who lives in Amsterdam can't buy icing sugar (under any name) there at all.
The amount of times I've taken a bag of fine white powder to her in my hand luggage is worrying for all sorts of reasons, but considering how well the Dutch bake, it is surprising it's not part of their pantry essentials. If you're following American recipes you might also wonder what superfine sugar is.
That's another name for caster sugar. I only ever cook with caster sugar, rather than having a bag of each white one in the cupboard, but I do like to have a variety of other sugars hanging around. One of my favourites is unrefined golden caster. It has enough molasses among its sugar crystals to give it a lovely caramelised taste but not so much (as with muscovado) that it becomes overbearing.
The pale golden meringues made from this are delicious, and vanilla ice cream made from it is also that little bit more delicious. I remember my Gran sprinkling brown sugar over her porridge in winter; this was most likely demerara sugar, which is moister than white sugar and contains more molasses, therefore more caramel overtones.
You can make a great pav from this - using half caster and half demerara sugar, and it's also lovely used in baking cakes and biscuits - try making shortbread with it next time. It will be a little moister so cook a few more minutes. Muscovado sugar is really grunty - lots of molasses and therefore a little bitter.
Next time you're making a custard for a wintery steamed pudding use about ⅓ of it with ⅔ caster sugar and you'll find the flavour superb. It's also great in chutneys and marinades. My other favourite is palm sugar. Several palm trees are used; date, sugar date, or sago.
The syrup is tapped, much like maple syrup, then boiled down until it begins to crystallise. It can be dark or pale and the flavour is a mixture of caramel and fudge - absolutely stunning. I like to grate or chop palm sugar and pound it in a mortar and pestle with chopped red chillies, lime zest and ginger.
Mix in lime juice and fish sauce to taste and use it to dress thinly sliced rare beef, cucumber, spring onions, crushed toasted peanuts and coriander for a lovely salad.
It's also great used to make a wonderful sauce for sticky toffee pudding to which you've added lots of toasted coconut thread and mashed bananas. Chop up the palm sugar and some candied ginger and bring to the boil with a little water. Cook till sticky then add a can of coconut milk and boil until thickened - you can now add some regular cream if you like or some more coconut cream - you want it nice and thick and sticky.

Contemporary Room Dividers: Modular, Folding & Fabric
Although it's ostensibly designed to separate space, a screen or room divider is really as much a sculptural object as a functional one. By definition, it's visible from all sides — it can hang from the ceiling, float on the floor, or stretch between the two planes. As a three-dimensional object that straddles the worlds of art and design, the screen invites contemporary creators to play with things like material composition, scale, and texture.
These 10 designs vary widely in style, size, and price, but they each feel like sculpture in their own way. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullecs' Algues are a modular kit that the owner can shape into the form of their choosing, while the Mio Nomad Tiles and Lerival Screen are also modular, but much more structured.
The Modwall and Sliding Door Company screens are more conservative, but their translucent panels and metal frames subtly allude to contemporary architecture.
Experimenting with flexible natural materials like paper and wool, the Molo Softwall and FilzFelt panels feel soft but substantial. The Coil Room Divider pays homage to the Eames' classic mid-century design, while the IKEA piece updates traditional Asian folding screens made from natural materials like seagrass and palm leaves.
- Algues by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec at Y Living, $225 for a 50-pack
- Perforated Felt Panels at FilzFelt, $695 – $1,395
- ModWall Modern Room Divider at iDivide, starting at $450
- Custom Room Dividers at the Sliding Door Company, price on request
- Tapered Kraft Paper Softwall at Molo, $910
- Coil Room Divider in Chocolate at Chiasso, $398
- Lerival Modular Screen at Bobby Berk Home, $990
- Mio Nomad Architectural System at 2Modern, $56 for a 24-pack
- Sotto Hanging Room Divider at Amazon.com, $157
- PS Plank Room Divider at IKEA, $100

Freestate brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 34 Designs von 9 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
As part of a guerrilla marketing campaign we are launching a new condom brand targeting people who are totally fed up with Dutch politics and current government policies. People who don't want to get screwed by the system can now buy STAATSKLOTEN (which are actually "condoms") to protect their "interests" metaphorically speaking. If you're not Dutch the brandname STAATSKLOTEN needs some further explanation to understand what's so hilarious about this name and why the letter "K" plays a key role in the underlying word joke. Without the "K" it reads STAATSLOTEN which are lottery tickets issued by the STAATSLOTERIJ, which is the Dutch State Lottery (see: http://www.staatsloterij.nl). By inserting the "K", however, the word can be translated as "state nuts", while staatsKloterij means something like "federal fuckup". Sorry for the language by the way:-) In short, we like to use the message of "safe sex" to promote "sound governance"
Dutch people who hate politics and willing to buy condoms to sponsor our campaign against wrong government policies.
The logo must include either the word "STAATSKLOTERIJ" or "STAATSKLOTEN". The choice is up to you, but whichever you choose, make sure the letter "K" clearly stands out somehow.
Other than the name STAATSKLOTERIJ, the logo may NOT resemble the brand mark of the state lottery "STAATSLOTERIJ" in any way (check out http://www.staatsloterij.nl to make sure it doesn't). So please don't use the colors "orange" and "blue". Because in Dutch elections "red" pencils are used to cast a voting ballot, the color RED seems very suitable to us.
The challenge is to design a logo that can be printed on a square-shaped condom wrapper. Please have a look on http://www.condomwrappers.com to get the general idea.
As long as the logo looks well, don't worry too much about ethics. This is a private contest and, as you probably know, people in Holland are not so easily shocked or offended by sexual related expressions.
It would be nice if you could come up with a clever/nice way for adding a tagline that can be changed, like for example: "Screw the System" I also hope you can come up with an "one-fits-both" solution that would allow me to use your design interchangeably for STAATSKLOTERIJ and STAATSKLOTEN.
Please follow my comment in the public forum.

sounds great!!
will our guild get to test it first?
<cough> been a while since I played, just went to Florida for vacation tho
...ANYWAYs, Flitch and I have been working on a thievery map for about 2 weeks now and may have a release by the end of January (hopefully before).
It's a rather small level but it should be good fun with secret passages and areas for theives and guards. I hope it will be fairly balanced, but if the thieves can reach the "Uber Secret Room Of Doom", it will be much easier for them. Don't worry, it will be fairly difficult. It may have a spider named "Ancient Spidey" that will help thieves plus other stuff. (Not done that room yet)
Guards get their own stockroom with guard only pickups (including +75 hp Health potions). Thieves can get special potions with 3 times the effect of the normal item (only one of each, and no breathing) This will allow for 30 inviz/speed seconds, 60 second catfalls and a 75 health potion. There is also a "homemade cookie" which will give you 100 or 125 health (depending on if you are guard or thief)
There are 8 spiders "for effect" that do not attack anyone plus 5 "Evil Spiders" which attack everyone. (don't worry, the evil spiders are in the spider pit) There will be Ancient Spidey SomeWhere in the level.
I know I've talked alot so far, but here are objectives:
Thieves: Steal 1800 of about 3000 loot, 3 of 6 ancient scrolls, and escape
Guards: Stop Theives, you want the loot for yerself.
There are and will not be screenshots until later if at all. Trust me, this should be bound to be fun (despite it being my first map and Flitch's 1st thievery map)
Beware of disco lights in the "corpse room" (1000 loot in there).... hehe
The 28.8 strikes again!
sounds great!!
will our guild get to test it first?
Acually, the first people to download it will probably be testers. Flitch may set up a server, but it wont be usable until early february. If someone puts it on a "new maps" server with low lag (ex: Mog's) then that would be ideal. It also could let people find secrets by tracking me, maybe.
Hm.... When it is playable, who thinks they can find the secrets with using ANY cheats OR using Thievery UnrealEd OR tracking me? I don't think many will find it, but that's just my guess. With me saying that, everyone will look for em. By the way, my level will contain "Magnesium Flashes", sort of like (Very)-Short-Term Flares for Thieves. This is because the level will (probably) have a low level of ambient lighting.
spoiler:You will need two keys to get into the UberSecretRoomOfDoom. Believe me, they're hidden well.
The 28.8 strikes again!
Sounds pretty sweet
I look forward to being the first to find yer uber secret room of doom Naa NAA I cant wait keep up the good work man!
Da 56k stikes agin!
Wheeee, go Katra, tho you already have an idea where it is cuz you saw the concept map! But you'll still need the (see spoiler, if you want, ya cheapo).
The guards keep chasing the spiders, but cant kill them..... (Don't even try. They have over 90000 Hp each, with the exception of ancient spidey.) HAHAHAHAHA....errm.. never mind that...
On another note, the "corspe room" hosts a neat stick figure skeleton with dr.pepper, wine, and SUGARRRRR ( /me goes hyper ), all worth loot (except the skeleton.)
Any comments on the level? If so post them here.
The 28.8 strikes again!
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zidane{AYL}
[B]Wheeee, go Katra,
WOW! A spider with over 90,000 hp!!!!!
Sounds balanced.
Richard M. Nixon.
More spiders that don't attack anyone have been added. One (see spoiler) has been made. It is very difficult to find, and the second should be even harder to find. Guards have 3 whistlers, 10 flares (not more, because you get them in supply chest anyway), 12 mines, and over 20 caltrops in the stockroom (plus a bed). The 2 secret passages in existence have doors covering them. One [non attack] spider is about twice the size of the others and **floats** hehe. Guarding the corpse room is easy now. Do not open the coffin tho, . All your base are belong to us. Hmm, this sounds like a disclaimer. (/me slaps himself)
All thieves objectives are completable with the exception of escaping. It doesn't work for some reason and I don't know why. If somebody has a solution, post it on this thread. Beware of the 5 "an evil spider"s. Loot expectantcy is 3000, with 1000 in corpse room. If a thief doesn't go there, he/she will have to grab nealy all the other loot. 6 scrolls per level play, 3 are needed, and they make cool pickup sounds. There will be 2-3 exits from the level. Pet spiders may be given to guards, to equalize the level more.
Put any comments, questions, or insights to me on this thread. By the way, is anyone looking at it besides the people that have posted on it ? It doesn't seem that way.... well, i've got to get back to real life.
The 28.8 strikes again!
Ok, this may sound weird, but I'm thinking of having a guard-life-pool room in Th-eTomb where there would be about 5-7 guards in room openable ONLY by guards so that DMing would be harder to do. I mean, I discourage using DMing tactics all the time but sometimes ya just gotta blackjack that guard that's in a vital place... but that's that. I discourage DMing in my level when it will be released... and if I don't make a guard-life-pool room, I may make some guards immune to BJ if possible... but that's a story for another day.
Insert comments, questions, spiders, and/or constructive criticism on this thread. I will try to answer all comments/questions.
By the way, does anyone know how to make the exits work?
The 28.8 strikes again!

OAKLAND — BART will charge $6 per ride for its new tram rail service between Oakland International Airport and the Coliseum train station, the BART board decided Thursday.
The board left open the door to consider a temporary, lower promotional fare at some later date.
The $484 million Oakland Airport Connector is scheduled to start service in the fall, shuttling passengers on an automated guide way system 3.2 miles between the Coliseum station and the airport.
The elevated tram will replace AirBART shuttle vans, which currently charge $3 for the same trip by bus. Under the new system, a BART rider traveling by rail from Walnut Creek to the Oakland airport would pay $3.70 to reach the Coliseum station, and then an additional $6 to reach the airport.
In comparison, a taxi ride from Walnut Creek to the airport costs about $73, and daily parking at the Oakland Airport costs between $16 and $22 per day, BART reported. Parking at satellite lots in Oakland is chepaer.
Officials at the Oakland airport had said they would oppose any fare higher than $4, but transit advocates said a $6 fare was warranted to reduce the big subsidy that BART will pay to operate the service

Israeli Claims Patent Over Adding .com To The End Of The Address Bar
from the yup,-that-patent-system-functions-just-great dept
The next problem with the article is the claim that this patent is "worth millions" and that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo "will have to pay royalties." It remains to be seen if that's true (and given what's stated, it seems quite doubtful).
Next problem? The article claims that this patent is about the address bar in the browser -- not a search engine box -- though, the reporter doesn't seem to understand the difference between the two. Admittedly, Google now offers a browser in Chrome, but the article keeps referring to the patent as a "search option." Yahoo doesn't offer a browser.
Then there's the issue of claiming that Google and Yahoo "use" this technology:
Refuah says various internet giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo have been using the program for years, and now they will have to pay royalties to Netex.That implies -- falsely -- that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have somehow been using some technology that they got from Netex. It's a common trick used in reporting about patents, but its highly misleading. Much, much, much more likely is that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo simply added a useful and obvious feature, that Netex is now showing up and claiming ownership years later.
Finally, it's tough to say much about the actual patent claims in question -- seeing as we haven't seen them -- but from the Ynetnews description, it's difficult to see how such a thing could possibly be considered patentable (and one would think that Netscape would have some prior art, though I can't remember exactly when Netscape added the ability to add .com to the end of something put in the browser bar). But, honestly, can anyone with a straight face explain why such a thing should be patentable?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Failed to Promote and Then Fired Black Employee Because of Race, Federal Agency Charged
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Foley Products Company, a Columbus, Ga.-based concrete products company, will furnish significant injunctive relief to settle a race discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC had charged that Foley failed to promote Fred Pharham, who is African-American, and then subsequently fired him, both because of his race. Pharham was the only black single leadman (direct supervisor of a crew within a department) working at Foley's Clanton, Ala., facility. Foley denied the allegations in court.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits race discrimination. The EEOC filed the lawsuit against Foley Products (No. 2:10-CV-8270) in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The court issued a two-year consent decree finally resolving the suit on Aug. 17. Pursuant to the decree, Foley agreed to implement new policies and practices designed to prevent further harassment; employee training on anti-discrimination laws; posting of notices at the work site; and other injunctive relief. Foley is enjoined from engaging in any further employment practice which has the purpose or effect of discriminating against anyone on the basis of race and from retaliating against employees for opposing discriminatory practices. Foley also agreed to provide reports to the EEOC on complaints of alleged race discrimination.
Previously in this lawsuit on July 11, 2012, the court issued an order denying Foley's motion for summary judgment on the merits of the EEOC's two racial discrimination claims -- failure to promote and discriminatory discharge -- and permitting the case to proceed to trial before the court. The EEOC sought monetary relief for Pharham as part of its lawsuit. The claims for monetary relief were resolved by Foley and Pharham with the advice of separate counsel. In the court's order, the court recognized this resolution of part of the case and therefore denied the case from proceeding through a jury trial.
"We commend Foley Products for acting in a positive, proactive manner to prohibit race discrimination by entering into this settlement," said Delner Franklin-Thomas, district director for the EEOC's Birmingham District Office. "Under the decree, the revisions of Foley's policies, procedures, and protocols on race will have a positive effect on the entire work force and advance racial equality there."
Steven L. Murray and Gerald L. Miller, senior trial attorneys in the EEOC's Birmingham District Office, served as lead counsels throughout the EEOC's prosecution and litigation of this action.
"Race too often continues to be a key factor in denying employees access to rights and advancement," said Murray. "The EEOC is committed to eradicating race discrimination from the American workplace."
As well as in Clanton, Foley has facilities in Newnan and Winder, Ga.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The EEOC's Birmingham District consists of Alabama, Mississippi (except 17 northern counties) and the Florida Panhandle. Further information
about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

"Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday," the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving, are the most popular holiday shopping days of the year. Whether heading to the local malls or shopping online to avoid the large crowds, BBB of Upstate New York warns buyers to be aware of scammers and hackers.
"People get caught up in the craze of holiday shopping," said Warren Clark, president of BBB serving upstate New York. "Whether it's 'Black Friday' or 'Cyber Monday,' it is important to take precautions to ensure that scammers do not ruin the holidays."
BBB offers its top five tips for 'Black Friday' shoppers:
•Research before you shop - If you find a great coupon, be sure to print it and bring it to the store with you. Check out BBB Business Reviews at bbb.org to make sure you are dealing with a reputable business that will guarantee the sale prices it claims to have.
•Compare the deals - Not only are there are dozens of "Black Friday" websites claiming to capture the best deals around, but a smart phone can really help with comparative price shopping in stores and online.
•Maximize advance alerts - Do you have favorite retailers? Now is a good time to sign up for their email alerts and "Like" their Facebook page. BBB-accredited businesses and other stores are working to reward your loyalty and you may get a jump on special offers.
•Know store return policies - Knowing the store policies on returns can help you determine where to buy. Many retailers may include restocking fees and shorter return deadlines.
•Ask for gift receipts - Gift receipts generally include a description of the item purchased, but do not disclose the price paid. Without proof-of-purchase, the recipient may be turned down for returning or exchanging the item, or risk receiving an exchange at a lower price.
Online shopping tips for 'Cyber Monday'
•Shop with trust online - Shoppers should start with the BBB to check on the seller's business review for customer satisfaction at bbb.org. Always look for the BBB seal and other widely recognized "trustmarks" on retailer websites and click on the seals to confirm they are valid. If you can't find information about the retailer and a method to contact them, move on.
•Protect your personal information - Take time to read the site's privacy policy and understand what personal information is being requested and how it will be used. If there isn't one posted, it should be taken as a red flag that personal information may be sold to others without permission.
•Beware of deals that sound too good to be true - Offers on websites and in unsolicited emails can often sound too good to be true - especially extreme low prices on hard-to-get items. Consumers should always go with their instincts and not be afraid to pass up a "deal" that might cost them dearly in the end. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
•Confirm your online purchase is secure - Shoppers should always look in the address box for the "s" in https:// and in the lower-right corner for the "lock" symbol before paying. If there are any doubts about a site, the BBB recommends right-clicking anywhere on the page and select "Properties." This will let you see the real URL (website address), and the dialog box will reveal whether the site is not encrypted.
•Pay with a credit card - It's best to use a credit card because, under federal law, the shopper can dispute the charges if he or she doesn't receive the item. Shoppers also have dispute rights if there are unauthorized charges on their credit card, and many card issuers have "zero liability" policies under which the cardholder pays nothing if someone steals the credit card number and uses it.
•Keep documentation of your order - After completing the online order process, there may be a final confirmation page or the shopper might receive confirmation by email. The BBB recommends saving a copy of the Web page and any emails for future reference and as a record of the purchase.
For more than 100 years, Better Business Bureau has been helping consumers find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. The Council of Better Business Bureaus is the umbrella organization for 113 local, independent BBBs across the U.S. and Canada, as well as home to its national programs on dispute resolution and industry self-regulation.

Questions You Should Ask the Breeder
1. Are the puppies' parents "certified"? This means that certain breeds are often at risk for genetic conditions such as hip problems, heart problems and eye problems. Most of these diseases are inherited, meaning the disease is passed from parent to puppy. Many breeders will have their dogs evaluated and tested for that disease and ultimately "certified" by a veterinary specialist to be disease-free.
2. What are the sizes of the puppy's parents? Know how big the parents are, to get a good idea of how big your puppy will be. Is that the size dog you want?
3. Ask to meet the dogs parents. If possible, meet the puppy's parents. Notice if they appear to be in good health and evaluate their overall temperament. Are they shy, aggressive, or well adjusted?
4. How have they socialized the pups? Have the pups been around other dogs? Other people? Socialization is critical in puppies 6 – 16 weeks old. Proper socialization consisting of good experiences of a puppy with other puppies and lots of different ages, sizes and types of people will give you the best chance at having a well-adjusted dog.
5. What vaccines has the puppy had? How many shots has he received and when will the puppy be due for his next puppy shot?
6. Have the puppies been dewormed? All puppies are born with worms and routine deworming is recommended.
7. Have any of the puppies in the litter been sick? If so, what were the signs, the diagnosis and treatment?
8. What visits has the puppies had with the veterinarian? Have they been examined and declared "healthy"? If not, what problems have they had? Have they been on any medications?
9. What is their guarantee? What guarantee does the breeder give with their puppies? If the puppy is found to have a severe illness, what will they do? This is a difficult topic but one that is a lot easier to cover up front rather than later.
10. Recommendations? Ask the breeder for a couple references of puppy owners that they have sold within the past year. CALL them. Find out if the breeder was fair, if they were happy with their pups, and how any problems were handled.
11. Breeders contract? Does your breeder require a breeder's contract? If so, what is in it? Is the breeder willing to take back the puppy at any time, if you can't keep it?
12. Limited registration. Some breeders require that you spay or neuter your dog by a certain age. If that is the case, that may not be a problem but it is best to know before you get your puppy.
13. What is the family history? Ask if the breeder has information about the breed line. For example, ask how long the dogs have lived and what they have died from. Write it down. This may be important for monitoring your pet as he gets older.
14. What is the breeder currently feeding the puppy? Regardless of what they are feeding, it is ideal to continue feeding the same food for the first few days at home to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal disturbances. If you choose to change the diet, do it gradually.
15. Health certificate and certificate of sale. Ask the breeder if he will supply a health certificate for the puppy issued by his veterinarian. Some states require also a certificate of sale.
16. Does the breeder belong to a breed club? Ask for references.
