Ban Appeals

f| Renatus
server: to #20
who banned you: pdk
reason for ban: None Specified
your appeal: This guy banned me because he either believes I am a hacker, or because I am friends with someone he believes is a hacker (who is just a bot farmer). No evidence of either of us "hacking" or "exploiting." I also use to dislike this guy quite a bit and vice versa, so maybe he's bringing personal feelings into this? I'm not sure. I don't have much more to say because I just joined and was kicked maybe 20 seconds later. No warning or anything.

Hello Swagfox,
After checking out the screenshots taken by an admin, you were banned for the use of racial slurs and repeatedly throwing firepots into your teams spawn to grief others. Your appeal will be closed, please do not create any more posts in this thread.
Steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/dancelikebutter/
Server you were banned on: West and Central TO Servers (Every server I went on)
Who banned you: PDK
Reason for ban: Fake Admin and Respawn Exploiting
Your appeal: PDK has been banning anyone who has been doing good or has been better than him at the game. Again, I'm not sure about respawn exploiting??? But The Fake Admin was at a keybind, just as a joke. If that needs to stop I can. Some of us are trying to get practice in before tournaments. And sometimes pub games and matches are a good way to get practice in. I had a conversation about it w/ one of the other Devs and said it would be lifted but it wasn't. I'm now thinking that PDK is just being a BADMIN and abusing his authority as an ADMIN.
Additional comments: It could be worse. Instead of actually banning people who make the server lag or even catching hackers, he bans people that actual play the game right and competitively. A lot of us are trying to keep this game alive, not steer people away from it. I've done my part in this community as a player and as a server owner to hold events (scrims and tournament matches) even helped host the last tournament. By having an admin who abuses their power in a server, that kicks anyone he feels like at that particular moment, is not helpful for Chivalry or Torn Banner. In my past experiences, PDK isn't all that innocent when it comes to PUB matches. He's also trolled me and my former clan mates, along with most of us in the competitive scene. To add on top, I have heard from other comp players and Pub Players complaints about him. Again I ask you that you remove the ban and be more careful of who you pick as an admin for your servers.

server: All officials
Who banned you: unknown
reason for ban: unspecified
your appeal: I was banned a month ago or so, and I suspect it was because of spawn killing. I should have known better, I admit. but after all this time I think I have learned my lesson and wouldn't think twice about sticking to the rules.
I would be very grateful if an admin could unban me.

Server you were banned on: ALL Offical Servers and also some none official, Totaly cant play. (Why???)
Who banned you: As I entered the server i have received an auto ban, no clue why.
Reason for ban: As I entered the server i have received an auto ban, no clue why.
Your appeal: As I entered the server I have received an auto ban, no clue why. I just got the message "You have been banned from this server, If any mistakes go to chivalrythegame.com". Really weird.
Additional comments: REALLY weird. What's the reason? requesting to remove the ban as I did nothing… Feels like someone is on the run after me from some reason. Would like to know WHO made this, And most of all - Why. Thank you.
EDIT: No answer since 02/23 UNTIL NOW! (03/06). What? Apparently some admin really, really hates me! I'm requesting a full investigation and removing the ban please! Its outrages no one cares until now and i cant play!

Steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/bloodwolf958/
Server you were banned on: All Official
Who banned you: No idea. Didn't even get a warning.
Reason for ban: Racism aimed at another player.
Your appeal: I think a Permanent Global Ban without warning is a bit much for a first offense. I don't constantly go around spewing racial slurs. In fact, its rare that I ever even bother making any comments on race at all. I only did it because that dude really tripped the wrong switch to piss me off and I lashed out accordingly. I've learned a lesson, though, and I can promise that incidents like this wont happen again.
Additional comments: You guys should really stop by Official LTS severs (when they aren't completely dead) more often. Especially if you are going to lurk servers with random names, like you guys did with me. You'd catch more assholes worse than myself.
Thanks in advance if you decide to un-ban me.

Steam ID**: http://steamcommunity.com/id/bloodwolf958/
Server you were banned on: Some Official Servers(?)
Who banned you: No idea. I don't even have any clue as to why I would be re-banned.
Reason for ban: I seriously have no idea. I can't think of anything I could have even done.
Your appeal: I don't even know what to say. I thought I made good on my promise to stay within the server rules…
Additional comments: I just want to play my favorite game with my friends… :(

Don't worry, you weren't (intentionally) re-banned. You were still showing up as banned for some reason. Hopefully it works this time. Sorry about that.

Server you were banned on: All Official servers
Who banned you: Unknown
Reason for ban: Unknown
Your appeal: I played on one of official servers and in the beginning of game I was disconnected and then showed up inscription "you have beed banned".

Additional comments:It's already third ban and third without any reason.

Steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198074950201
Server you were banned on: Official TO Server #9 [24p]- DE (Multiplay)
Who banned you: MSKittyiana
Reason for ban: Racism
Your appeal: One night I was playing with my friends on this server and I was saying things that were racist but they weren't directed to anyone in particular on the server. MSKitty warned me about this and said it will result with me getting banned, in my defense I didn't knew it was going to be a global ban so I ignored her warning, being in a foul mood that night didn't helped at all and it resulted with me getting banned over this.
I was surprised about such a drastic measure so I PM'd her a message on the TB forums in which she was kind enough to answer:"Hey Evol,
You have been global banned because of racism, there is a zero tolerance towards any type of discrimination.
After a warning of an admin you still continued with discrimination only in an other language.
If you think you have been banned unjustified you can make an appeal here: http://forums.tornbanner.com/showthr…46-Ban-Appeals.
Before you do that I will suggest reading our server rules which you can find here: http://forums.tornbanner.com/showthr…l-Server-Rules.
Yours sincerely,
After finding out the reason for this, I read the server rules from the link she posted in her message and indeed I deserve my punishment. The thing is I find it a bit too much. If you'd ban people based on the server rules, it would result in a lot more people being global banned. Everytime I play Chivalry those rules get broken easily and no one gets to suffer any consequences. Griefers, insults that are really directed at other players, speed hackers, intentional team killing with fire pots so that no one will receive team damage so that when you try to kick them their TD is 0%, abusing votekicks like hell, exploiting mechanics and other things. Not to mention I myself have been put in situations like that from other players which made me quit the servers, even though some persistent assholes followed me on other servers when I switched, racial remarks towards me as well but I never complained to a mod or anything.
I am not saying that those people should be globally banned but compared to what I did, which was spouting some racial nonsense that was directed at no one, my "crime" seems very light. I am not talkative at the server chat very much, my friends even complain to me that I am too silent that I sometimes don't say "hi" to them when I log on the same server.
I apologised to Mskittyiana in a PM on the forum and I am apologising to whoever may read this as well, I know what I did was stupid and childish and I shouldn't vent my anger on the server chat with nonsense, but I am asking if I could do anything that could result in lifting the global ban I received cause I miss playing with my friends. If you'd like you can also talk to them and ask them if I am that much of a problem on the servers usually. I can assure that you'll never have a problem from me again, I will probably never use the chat again after this anyway if the banishment is lifted.
TL;DR I think the punishment I received is too severe compared to other rules that are broken on a daily basis and people just getting away with it. I am sorry for what I did and now that I know the rules I won't do the same thing again. You can have a mod check on me from time to time or I dunno. I'd like to be able to play with my friends again. Thank you. I really am sorry for what I did. Is there really no way for the global ban to be lifted?
Steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kinglapu
Server you were banned on: All Official Servers
Who banned you: Unknown
Reason for ban: No Reason
Your appeal: There is no reason to ban me. I have been banned for a month now. I feel that this is a mistake.
Additional comments: No Reason For Ban
Knifelegs last edited by
@Nub - Racism and the use of racial slurs on official servers is not tolerated.
@Evol - Racism and the use of racial slurs on official servers is not tolerated. We will always enforce the server rules when we see them being broken.
@KingLapu - The intentional use of exploits and impersonating official admins on official servers will always result in a ban.
All the above appeals will be closed and your bans will remain in effect. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to continue to dispute your ban. Do not make any more posts in this thread.

Server you were banned on: All Official Servers
Who banned you: ?
Reason for ban: ?
Your appeal: I didn't know even I'm banned from Official Server. Is there any reason?
I uploaded farming map on Workshop before, It was deleted. I don't even know why It was removed.
- I connected to Official Server right after My workshop map had deleted, but I can play at that time.
that is the last thing I guess as my ban reason… but still not reasonable… :(
I don't use any insult words / hack.
now unbanned.
still I don't know reason why…

Server you were banned on: 2 Official servers, one of the UK and one DE.
Who banned you: Unknown.
Reason for ban: Responding for some guy that cursed me?
Your appeal: I got automatic banned as I'm trying to enter servers all the sudden. The message says 'you got banned, mistake? Go to chivalry….', It seems I got banned from all official servers. Probably because I've responded to several racist guys that cursed me (I cursed them back, But I swear I didn't start it). Please remove the ban soon as possible so I can play again my favorite game, Thanks.
Additional comments: I'll do my best not to curse back, But If I do, I do it usually in a Cynical way without cursing. Anyway, It's not fair I'll get banned because I don't deserve it.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the National Council for History Education's annual conference held in Atlanta. Whenever a group of historians and/or history teachers meet, books, old and new, are bound to be discussed. Here's a list of books that were featured in sessions or by exhibitors, in no particular order.
The Snipesville Chronicles is a series of time travel books aimed at young readers (but also enjoyed by adults) written by Annette Laing, a purveyor of non-boring history. http://www.annettelaing.com/
Drum Taps, a collection of poem about the Civil War by Walt Whitman
Edward Larson was one of the keynote speakers. He's written several books about science and technology in history and American history including the Pulitzer-winning Summer for the Gods, about the Scopes Monkey Trial. Other books include An Empire of Ice, A Magnificent Catastrophe, Evolution's Workshop, and his latest, The Return of George Washington.
March is the autobiography of civil rights movement figure John Lewis, in a graphic novel trilogy.
All Quiet on the Western Front is the classic World War I novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
Another keynoter was Bruce Lesh, the author of "Why Won't You Just Tell Us the Answer?": Teaching Historical Thinking in Grades 7-12.
Fire in a Canebrake: the Last Mass Lynching in America by Laura Wexler tells the story of the murders of two black couples in 1946. Considered the last lynching in Georgia, no one has ever been prosecuted for the crime.
The final keynoter was Micki McElya, the author of The Politics of Mourning: Death and Honor in Arlington National Cemetery and Clinging to Mammy: The Faithful Slave in Twentieth Century America.
Screening a Lynching: The Leo Frank Case on Film and Television by Matthew Bernstein

Self-guided walks for the Curious...
Explore Nottingham city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Nottingham's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
Nottingham, once the world's leading lace maker, is perhaps most famous for Robin Hood, who's been played by Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, Sean Connery and John Cleese - and there's still a real-life Sheriff of Nottingham. HP Sauce was invented by a Nottingham grocer, but he sold the recipe for £150 to settle a debt. Notts County is the world's oldest professional football club. Jesse Boot founded Boots the Chemist in Nottingham in 1877, and 10 years later the city gave birth to Raleigh Cycles.

Closest Curious Walks
- An exploration of Nottingham's city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with an optional treasure hunt. Completing the treasure hunt keeps everyone actively engaged, and urges you to look up, down and every which-way - so you won't miss out on any of the city's treasures.
Explore, Discover, and Enjoy!
- Most clues are chosen for their historical value, so you'll learn about the diverse culture, significant people and extraordinary events which have influenced Nottingham in becoming what it is today.
- This is an outdoor, unsupervised activity - so you can go at a pace which suits you, whilst keeping you healthy!
- A Curious About walk is a fun and social activity for all the family and friends. Different people can take on different roles - follow the map, identify picture clues, read directions, etc - it's ideal for children from the age of 6, and if you can walk/wheelchair it, you're young enough!
- The two walks have been designed so that the second one follows on from where the first one ends. Do both, or have a breather and do the second one another day! They both start and finish in the heart of the city - so buses, trains and car parks are easily available to get you there and back.
- One booklet is suitable for up to 4 people, and is available to instantly download on purchase for printing at home or for using immediately on your mobile device, or we can print it for you and send it using 1st class Royal Mail.
Curious About... Nottingham
Curious About... Nottingham
Two walks are included in the booklet, the 2nd starts where the first finishes.
1. Station to Market Square - 2 miles / 3.2 kms
From the bustling station you quickly drop down to a leisurely canal before ascending the hill which leads to Nottingham's infamous castle. Pass a former hospital and the leafy Playhouse, before descending to the depths of a darkened tunnel! Now it's past a cathedral, then the Royal Theatre, before arriving at the splendour of Nottingham's vast and vibrant Market Square!
Children's University event2 hoursOK but diversion maybe needed
2. Market Square to Lace Market - 1 mile / 1.6 kms
From the splendid Exchange Arcade this walk takes you past ornate architecture, some designed by the famous Watson Fothergill. See where Boots the Chemist was started, then enter the Lace Market district with its inspiring buildings and unusual thoroughfares. Lastly there's a former court and gaol where prisoners were hung, before finishing at Weekday Cross, a place of ancient markets.
Children's University event1 hourOK but small diversion maybe needed

You can: a) download to your computer & print; b) download to your phone or tablet (different format) & use directly from there; c) order a pre-printed copy which we post to you. Each has a page dedicated to the history of the city; 2 pages summarising each walk with suggestions re what to visit along the way. Walk 1 has 21 clues & walk 2 has 14 - both with detailed directions to follow. There are stories about important people, places & events along the way; detailed instructions how to find a clue if you're stuck; a comprehensive map with the routes marked on.

It's been a while since I posted a rainbow pic.
I snapped this photo from the bus last Saturday morning. Bill and I were on our way into city centre for a choir workshop with the New Irish Choir and Orchestra, hosted by our church. The Belfast-based choir bravely invited interested parties to attend a day of rehearsal and then participate in the concert that evening.
This second soprano could have used a bit more rehearsal, but we had a blast.

A charismatic and well-known public figure, he is intent on ridding the world of alien superhero Superman, who Lex Luthor views as an obstacle to his megalomaniacal plans and as a threat to the very existence of humanity. Given Lex's high status as a supervillain, he also comes into conflict with Batman and other superheroes in the DC Universe. Lex Luthor has traditionally lacked superpowers or a dual identity and typically appears with a bald head. He periodically wears his Warsuit, a high-tech battle suit giving him enhanced strength, flight, and advanced weaponry, among other capabilities. Lex Luthor is the owner of a corporation called LexCorp, with Mercy Graves as his personal assistant and bodyguard. Luthor has carefully crafted his public persona in order to avoid suspicion and arrest. He is well known for his philanthropy, donating vast sums of money to Metropolis over the years, funding parks, foundations, and charities. The character was ranked 4th on IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time and as the 8th Greatest Villain by Wizard on its 100 Greatest Villains of All Time list. Luthor is one of a few genre-crossing villains whose adventures take place "in a world in which the ordinary laws of nature are slightly suspended". John Shea and Michael Rosenbaum portrayed the character as the main antagonist character in Superman-themed television series, while Lyle Talbot, Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, and Jesse Eisenberg have portrayed the character in major motion pictures. ==History== ==Personality== ==Physical Appearance== ==Appearances== ===Live-action films=== ====[[Superman (1978 film)|Superman]]==== Lex Luthor lives in a palatial underground hideout in Metropolis at the point where he first meets Superman. He watches one of his assistants, a man named [[Otis]], make his way through the subway tunnels toward a wall that opened to a passage leading to the hideout. One of the police detectives following Otis, though, was brutally pushed by Lex via the same panel into an oncoming subway train. His other assistant, [[Eve Teschmacher]], looks at Lex, thinking he's sick, but Lex only smiles. Otis approaches Lex with a copy of the Daily Planet in his hand. Lex takes it and sees the headlined story that the United States will be doing some nuclear missile launch tests soon. He says this could be instrumental for pulling off one of the biggest heists in history as he will soon own what may become valuable real estate. When Eve asks Lex why many people would have to die for such a scheme, Lex answers with what his father had told him (presumably before his father kicked him out): "Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they'll pay through the nose to get it!" After Clark Kent makes his appearance in his costumed superhero identity (not yet named Superman), Lex Luthor discusses with his assistants whether this man is truly genuine or not. Lex says if such a thing were a hoax, he would have been the one who pulled it off. He believes that this hero's appearance in Metropolis has some form of cruel justice to it, as if for Lex to commit the crime of the century, he has to face the challenge of the century. Otis simply dismisses it as him simply passing through town, but Lex highly doubts it. After Lois Lane's article about the hero now called Superman is published in the Daily Planet, Lex Luthor and his assistants go to work finding out about any possible weaknesses he can exploit. He finds an article about a man in Addis Ababa discovering a green meteorite that came to Earth from the destruction of Krypton about thirty years ago. He surmises that this meteorite generates a specific type of radiation that is capable of killing Kryptonians, and so plans to steal this meteorite which he now calls Kryptonite to get rid of Superman. After Lex and his assistants break into a museum, kill two people and make off with the rock, they go to work reprogramming the nuclear missiles, he then sends a message to Superman that can only be picked up at a frequency he and dogs can hear, threatening to release a Propane-Lithium compound through thousands of airducts in the city. Superman follows the voice to the underground lair of Lex Luthor, where he is subjected to a gauntlet of dangers that he survives through without a scratch before entering. Now having Superman's attention, Luthor shows him the plan of detonating two nuclear devices that have been reprogrammed to detonate at specific locations: the first toward the San Andreas Fault where it will cause a massive earthquake that will level much of California into the sea; the other botchedly heading toward Hackensack, New Jersey. Luthor also tricks Superman into opening a lead-lined box that had a chunk of Kryptonite attached to a chain, which Luthor wraps around the Kryptonian's neck as its radiation weakens him before being dumped into Luthor's pool to drown. He then goes to watch the launch of the nuclear missiles, while Eve Teschmacher, fearing for the life of her mother in Hackensack, bravely rescues Superman for the promise that he would stop the missile heading for the East Coast first, throwing the chain with the Kryptonite away into a sewer grating. After stopping one of the missiles from detonating and dealing with an earthquake caused by the detonation of the other missile, Superman takes Lex and Otis to prison, where he bravely states that its walls cannot hold him. ====[[Superman II]]==== While being imprisoned after the events of the first film, Lex Luthor has developed a "black box" that allows him to track specific alpha waves, particularly that of Superman's, and notices that he usually ends up going north for some unrevealed purpose. By using a holographic projector, Lex escapes his prison cell with Otis while waiting for Eve Teschmacher to show up in a hot-air balloon. Soon she arrives, and Otis helps steady the ladder for Lex to climb up into the balloon. Otis afterward tries to climb up, but with each rung he ends up pulling the balloon down toward the ground. Lex kicks the ladder loose and salutes Otis as he leaves him behind in the prison while sailing off with Eve. Following his "black box", Lex and Eve travel north on snowmobile until they reach Superman's Fortress of Solitude, its architecture being seen as remarkable until Eve points out that it lacks a bathroom. Lex finds a series of crystals that project holographic images of various Kryptonian teachers, looking through a few until he comes across the one with Superman's mother Lara telling "her son" about three dangerous criminals of Krypton who were placed in the Phantom Zone. Lex realizes that these criminals would have the same kind of powers as Superman and that, if they happen to be on Earth, they would need a contact. He immediately heads south. Lex finds the three rogue Kryptonians in the White House after they have taken over all governmental control of the world, offering a partnership with them. General Zod, their leader, tells Lex he cannot bargain with what he doesn't have. Lex says he can bargain with what they don't have: the son of Jor-El their jailer, whom the world calls Superman. He says he alone can lead them to where they will find Superman so that they can have their revenge. In exchange, Lex tells them that he wants to be ruler of Australia. In Metropolis, Lois Lane waits nervously in Perry White's office at the Daily Planet for Superman to show up when the rogue Kryptonians show up first, wrecking everything in their path toward the office where Luthor tells them to take Lois hostage. Soon Superman shows up outside the building, daring for Zod to step outside. Lex watches three Kryptonians engage Superman in battle, flying and fighting all around the city in the hopes of destroying the son of Jor-El. They notice Superman protecting the humans during their battle and decide to endanger them in order to weaken him enough to destroy him. Eventually Superman realizes the danger that the fight is causing the citizens and flies off, much to the disappointment of those hoping to see Superman defeat the villains. Luthor looks at the rogue Kryptonians rather disappointingly, seeing that they only manage to scare Superman off rather than destroy him. He then directs the Phantom Zone criminals to the Fortress of Solitude, where they also take Luthor and Lois in their attempt to destroy Superman. After another fight where Superman is unable to prevail against the three Kryptonians, Zod now has no further use for Luthor and orders for him to be killed. Superman gets Luthor to trick the Kryptonians into having him be put into the molecule chamber to strip away his powers once again, as Lois sadly watches. However, as Zod made the now seemingly-weakened Superman bow before him, take his hand, and swear eternal allegiance to him, Superman crushed Zod's hand, revealing that he altered the chamber so that he would be safe while the other three Kryptonians lost their powers. Zod, Ursa, and Non all fall into the abyss, and Superman turns Luthor over to the authorities once more while he takes Lois back home to her apartment. ====[[Superman IV: The Quest for Peace]]==== Lex Luthor is busy working on a chain gang breaking rocks when his nephew Lenny comes driving along in a convertible, loudspeakers blasting out Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On". He tells the police guards that he got lost driving down the road, and then invites them to check out the car's sound system. After they enter, Lenny uses a remote control to trap the guards in the car and to drive it off a cliff, giving him time to free his uncle from his bands. Lex compliments Lenny for his work on helping him escape despite considering him to be the Dutch elm disease of the Luthor family tree. Lex and Lenny visit a museum in Metropolis where they steal a single strand of Superman's hair being used to hold up a very heavy metallic ball to show how strong it is. While Lenny jokingly says that his uncle wants to make a toupee that flies, Lex says that the strand of hair contains enough of Superman's DNA for him to create a superpowered being he can control for the purpose of destroying Superman. After Superman's United Nations-sanctioned mission to rid the world of all nuclear weapons goes into effect, Luthor gets help from a few hired black market arms dealers to attach a device that contains what he calls a "genetic stew" onto one of the nuclear missiles which Superman will throw into the sun as he did all others. As the missile with the device reaches the sun and is destroyed, it instantly transforms the "stew" into a superhuman being with incredible power. He flies back to Earth and meets Luthor at his penthouse hideout, referring to him as Nuclear Man, the only being with the power to pierce Superman's skin and make him weak enough to die. Of course, Luthor shows his nephew that Nuclear Man needs direct sunlight to function or else he will be powerless. Luthor contacts Kal-El through a secret video message to meet at his penthouse. Superman interrupts the double date he has with Lois Lane and Lacy Warfield (as Clark Kent) to deal with Luthor, only to find himself face-to-face with his creation Nuclear Man. The two end up in a struggle that takes them all across the world, with Nuclear Man causing various disasters and Superman trying to fix them. Eventually they end up in New York City where Nuclear Man threatens to dump the Statue of Liberty in the heart of the city. Superman stops that from happening and flies the statue back to Ellis Island, but Nuclear Man takes advantage of this and pierces Superman's skin with his fingernails. Weakened from contact, Superman drops to the ground after putting the statue back in place, and then Nuclear Man kicks him high into the sky, causing his cape to drop onto the torch. Luthor rejoices at all the money his arms dealers were making from the demise of Superman and the rearming of the world, though he chooses to end their partnership and take all the profits for himself, using Nuclear Man's powers to get the point across. Luthor now feels secure in that he has a superpowered being at his disposal. However, Nuclear Man starts having desires for Lacy Warfield when he sees her picture in the papers and goes after her, involving Superman in another struggle with him that results in Nuclear Man being dumped into a nuclear reactor to provide a powerful energy source. As Luthor and his nephew use this struggle trying to make their getaway, Superman captures them and flies off with their vehicle. He first takes Lenny to Boys Town, where the presiding pastor will watch after the young man and teach him well. He then takes Luthor back to the prison that he escaped, letting Luthor know that he knew about Nuclear Man's weaknesses and that he will see him in twenty years. ====[[Superman Returns]]==== During the years that Superman disappeared into space, Lex Luthor escaped prison with the help of an unsuspecting elderly beneficiary, whom he conned into marrying so he could get at her wealth after she died. With the money, Lex hired out a new set of goons and then traveled again to Superman's Fortress of Solitude, where this time he talked with the hologram of Superman's father Jor-El, wanting to know everything about Kryptonian crystals. Returning to the widow's mansion, Lex Luthor has one of his men chip away a portion of a Kryptonian crystal from the Fortress of Solitude, planting it in the water of her immense train set layout. After a minute or so of waiting to see its effect, all the lights suddenly go out. They soon go back on, and as Lex and his gang continue to watch, a crystalline structure emerges from the water, ripping through the floor of the mansion. As Lex Luthor looks out over the harbor from the balcony of the widow's mansion, he sees the Daily Planet newspaper headlining THE MAN OF STEEL IS BACK. This means he's got the challenge of the century on his hands again to deal with. He greets part of his gang out in front as they unload a metal containment box from a van, indicating that it was stolen property. Luthor tells them to modify it and attach it to the ship. While Superman deals with a woman in a runaway car tearing through the streets at night, Luthor and his gang go into the Metropolis Museum near closing hours, looking for a valuable rock. Some of his goons find the main power switches and shut down all power in the museum, allowing Luthor to use his special stethoscope to find that particular rock with a certain radiation frequency. He soon spots it as the rock emits green sparkles. The power soon goes back on, and the rock now turns up missing. The woman whom Superman rescues turns out to be Luthor's henchlady Kitty, who slaps her boss for cutting the brakes on the car without her knowing about it, though her distraction has still achieved its end. With the stolen rock being Kryptonite, the only substance that can weaken and kill Superman, now in Luthor's possession again, he has the sample shaped into a cylindrical casing for one of the memory crystals taken from the Fortress of Solitude and placed inside a torpedo with its explosive components removed. After kidnapping Lois Lane along with her son Jason, whom he had found snooping around the mansion, he took them on his ship to the coordinates where he would launch the missile, revealing to Lane and his associate Kitty that the grown land mass would end up displacing parts of other continental land masses, effectively killing billions of people in the process. He leaves Lois and Jason in the care of his thug Brutus while he oversees the launching of the torpedo containing the Kryptonite-encased crystal. After the launch, however, he discovers that Brutus was mysteriously killed by a grand piano hurled at him with great strength, and has Lois and Jason locked up in the pantry while he, Kitty, and his men take off on helicopter toward their newly-emerging land mass. After Superman deals with the earth tremors in Metropolis caused by the emerging land mass and rescues Lois, Jason, and Richard White from the pantry of the now sinking ship, Superman arrives in the heart of Luthor's new land mass and confronts Luthor, unaware that the land mass is laden with Kryptonite, and demands for Luthor to give him back what was taken from his Fortress. Luthor, seeing sweat dripping from Superman's temples, responds by hitting the Man of Steel, causing him to fall to the ground and seeing the Kryptonite through its cracks. Luthor takes pleasure in repaying Superman for five years of his life lost in prison by using the weakened superhero as his punching bag, and then letting his thugs have a go at hurting the Man of Steel, humiliating him until Luthor finally shoves a jagged piece of Kryptonite into his back and watches him plummet into the depths of the sea. Sometime later, though, the ground begins to crumble underneath Lex's feet and that of his henchmen when Superman, rescued by Richard White and with part of the Kryptonite piece removed from his back, uses his heat vision to separate the grown land mass from the continental shelf and to fly it far into space. Luthor and his assistant Kitty manage to escape the island before Superman flies it away from Earth. However, in their escape, Kitty secretly dumps the remaining memory crystals in Luthor's possession out of the helicopter and makes it look like an accident. Lex and Kitty land on a small desert island with no gas left in the helicopter and no source of food available to them, until Luthor eyes the surviving dog from the elderly widow's mansion. ==Relationships== ==Quotes== ==Gallery== ==Trivia== {{CharacterStub}} {{Superman}} {{DC Comics}} {{DC animated universe}} {{DC Universe Animated Original Movies & Animated Movie Universe}} {{DC Extended Universe}} {{Warner Bros.

Do you remember when your kid was a baby, and addicted to a pacifier? It didn't matter if you bought one pacifier or ten, it invariably got lost and somehow could never be located when your baby really needed it. This dire state involved sending out one's husband to the all-night Rite Aid or Wal Mart in hopes of getting another or else no one in the family was going to sleep that night. Of course it couldn't be just any pacifier so one had to give very detailed instructions: it had to be silicon not rubber, ages 6 months to a year not newborn to 6 months, it had to be a Nuk not a Mam or a Gerber, etc. and if instructions weren't followed to the letter it meant yet another trip to correct the iniquity and meanwhile the baby wouldn't stop screaming.
Now that I'm long past that stage in life, it seems I've entered another that is just as angst-ridden: The Reading Glasses Stage of Life. Like the pacifiers of yore, it doesn't seem to matter if I buy one pair or ten (thank goodness for Dollar Stores): they're never where I want them when I need them, which is constantly.
Lately I seem to be grappling with another strange problem: my eyes are constantly changing. Besides needing one power for reading and another for the computer, depending on the light or amount of eye strain, my vision is constantly fluctuating, sometimes even within an hour. So I might start reading at +2.0 and then as the night progresses, find that a +1.50 or +1.75 works better, or vice versa. (I've tried prescription progressives, but after losing two pair at $200 each, I'm back to the Dollar Store varieties). Since I own 5 pair of glasses in a single prescription at any given time (ideally one for each room in the house, the car, and my purse), this means I have 15 pairs of glasses lying around somewhere in varying magnifications, but I'm never really sure where, and it also means that when I locate a pair, I have to try it on and guess which power magnification it is, so just getting ready to read is something of an ordeal. No, my glasses don't look alike – – but having 15 pair of 15 different styles makes it hard to remember which ones are the +1.5 versus the +2.0.
So the last time I made my pilgrimage to the Dollar Store (after not being able to find a single pair of reading glasses that day), I decided to heck with it, and I left the little sticker with the magnification power remaining on the lens.
"Hey, you know you forgot to take off the sticker from that pair of glasses," my husband commented, when he saw me reading at home later that evening.
"Yeah, I know," I said, "I did it on purpose, so I'll know the amount of magnification," I answered.
"You look really dumb," he said.
Intimidated, I took off the sticker and placed it on the inside of the temples. But the sticker fell off and I was back to square one.
The next time we went shopping – – in TJ Maxx – – I wore my Dollar Store glasses with the sticker on the lens.
My husband was mortified.
"You look ridiculous leaving the sticker on your glasses!" he said. "But worse, the store is going to think you are stealing their reading glasses from the ones they have for sale!" he added.
I had to admit, he had a point, so I took off my glasses and put them in my purse, sticker intact.
"Oh, great," my husband complained, "now the security cameras are going to think you're shoplifting by putting them in your purse."
"Fine," I said, taking them out of my purse and putting them back on.
"You look ridiculous," he said with genuine embarrassment, and left me standing there as he retreated to the car.
One of the great things about living in Maine is that you can look really dumb, or weird, or eccentric, or different, and no one gives a hoot. Maine seems to attract people who march to a different drummer – – a polite way of saying people who don't fit in anywhere else. (I guess that's why I'm happy here.)
My solution – – pardon the pun – – was visionary. Now I always wear two pair of reading glasses: one on top of my head, and one hooked onto the top of my shirt. Both have the stickers, but show different magnification numbers. That way, it's obvious that these are two completely different pair of glasses for different purposes, and I'm merely being an eccentric but practical nerd, rather than a kleptomaniac.
Even though I look really dumb.
(P.s. My husband is not a snide ogre. He just has a thing about glasses with stickers when they involve me.)

These are a little late coming as the tea lunch date was close to 2 weeks ago, but sometimes it takes a bit, and these are worth it.
Bread – I used Arnold's Whole Wheat
Fresh Basil
Garlic Cloves
Olive Oil
Marinade slices of tomatoes in olive oil, salt/pepper mixture overnight.
Mince garlic and some basil (leave some for the topping) and mix with ricotta. Store overnight.
Cut your bread into hearts with a heart cookie cutter.
Add some ricotta on top.
Add either a fresh basil leaf or a marinated tomato on top.
Many more pictures behind the cut.
You want to marinade your tomatoes overnight. Just a little tablespoon of olive oil goes a long way.
Mince your garlic and basil. Smells so good!
Add your ricotta. Store overnight. Tastes so good!
Right before your tea date, get your bread ready. You will basically be able to do one heart per piece of bread.
Now put some ricotta on top of each one.
Serve fresh or throw in the refrigerator if your friends like to be late (*cough cough*).

Sure, to borrow a phrase from Josh Marshall, he's off the tire swing, but I'm going to resist the urge to pat him on the head for today's column. Coming around to a dim awareness of reality is good, but when you package it in the same silly platitudes that we've come to know and love from you, then it makes us wonder how much you've actually learned.
McCain has turned ugly. His dishonesty would be unacceptable in any politician, but McCain has always set his own bar higher than most. He has contempt for most of his colleagues for that very reason: They lie. He tells the truth. He internalizes the code of the McCains — his grandfather, his father: both admirals of the shining sea. He serves his country differently, that's all — but just as honorably. No more, though.
What I want out of this election isn't for the pundits to acknowledge McCain's lies – that's a side effect of what I really want, which is columnists and commentators who actually have a sense of perspective and are capable of rational thought. I mean, that should be a prerequisite for the job, right? So far, the response we've been hearing from the press about McCain's myriad falsehoods has seemed more about the way McCain has personally affronted them through his open contempt than a newfound love for actual journalism. Unless that congeals until anything more substantive, I'm going to hold off on the champagne.

Arianna Huffington's daughter Isabella is an emerging artist with sold-out shows in LA and NYC. She's dedicated to making her art more accessible and less restricted to the museum space. In this show she explores with Deepak Chopra the comparisons between meditation and art and being able to appreciate what's around us right now. Isabella started meditating to help heal a decade long eating-disorder caused by anxiety of getting ahead and succeeding. Which goes back to art, she explains. We don't pay enough attention to where we are. You can pass something 100 times before it actually catches your attention. Having used the unconventional media of sharpies and collage, she believes her experiences with problem solving while making her art is a great metaphor to the limitations we face in our daily life. People try years to make one idea work, why not instead be more creative with the other tools you have and open more doors. Art opens the window to a bigger awareness, it gives you a different perspective. Creating the life you want is part of a creative process too.

How to Make Soil Cubes for Planting Seeds
Soil blocks, or soil cubes, eliminate the need for individual planting pots or peat containers. Each block can support one seedling from sowing until transplanting. Soil blocks contain tightly packed potting mixture that retains its shape during the plant's initial growth period. Using soil blocks saves you money because you won't need to purchase seedling pots, and it also reduces transplant shock because plant roots aren't disturbed during planting. Although special soil block tools are available, you can create the blocks using a standard seedling flat.
Combine four parts peat moss or coconut coir with one part compost. Add one handful of lime for every 1 cubic foot of peat and compost you use. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bucket or tub to form a potting mixture.
Sift the potting mixture through a screen with 1/4-inch wide openings to remove all large particles. Place the sifted mixture back into the bucket or tub.
Mix hot water into the potting mixture until the mixture is thoroughly moistened and the consistency of thick oatmeal. If you used peat moss in the potting mixture, then allow the mixture to soak for 30 minutes so the peat moss fully rehydrates; peat moss absorbs water slowly.
Fill a seedling flat with the wet potting mix. Pack the mixture firmly into the flat with the palms of your hand. Cut the soil into 3-inch square blocks with a knife, making the cuts so a 1/4-inch space is between the soil blocks.
Dry the soil blocks for two to three hours. Sow one to two seeds in each block.
Things Needed
- Peat moss or coconut coir
- Compost
- Lime
- Large bucket or tub
- Screen with 1/4-inch wide openings
- Seedling flat
- Knife
- Soil block-making tools are available. Press such a tool into the wet potting mixture until it's filled with tightly packed soil. Place the filled tool into a flat, and push the tool's prepared block into the flat. Repeat the procedure until the flat is filled with soil blocks.
- Transplant seedlings grown in soil blocks as you would transplant traditionally potted seedlings, but cover the surface of each soil block with a thin layer of garden soil.

I'm just your average girl who loves to cook and who loves noodles. I am noodle folk, broth runs through my veins. Whenever I travel, noodle restaurants are always on my list of places to visit.
In 2007, I visited New York, and one of the places I wanted to eat at most was Momofuku Noodle Bar, but it almost didn't happen. My first visit to Momofuku seemed like fate, it never would have happened without a lucky string of delayed flights, flukey taxi drop-offs, and the willingness to wait 45 minutes for the restaurant to open (although Vancouverites who eat at Toshi know 45 minutes is not a long wait).
A couple of years later I had my wedding and honeymoon in New York City. Instead of taking care of wedding details such as flowers or hair and makeup, I hit up all 4 Momofukus. (There happen to be 5 'fukus now, but it's a good excuse to go back.) It was absolutely delicious: a fried chicken feast (see below), the Ko lunch menu, watching the chicken wing chef lovingly caress each wing before plating, these are memories that last a lifetime, my friends!
Of course, my love of food isn't restricted to *just* noodles. I love all food. It's my passion. My husband, friends, and family know this, so I get a lot of cookbooks as presents. Truthfully, I don't read more than 10 pages of most of them. They're more like reference guides, for those "hmm, I wonder if Thomas Keller has a bread pudding recipe" moments.
This year though, I got the Momofuku cookbook for Christmas. Momofuku!? Cookbook?! It was perfect. I sat myself on the couch and read the entire book cover to cover on Christmas Day. It was the best cookbook I ever read. After I finished I realized two things: 1) it would be super yummy to cook every recipe in this book and 2) why not put up a site where I could write and take photos of the process?
I know, I know. Blogging your way through a cookbook's been done. It's passé. There was even that movie. But I haven't tried it yet, and it could be fun! Last night I dreamt I was a ham-steak and no one wanted me. Random, I know. I'm hoping this blog will alleviate my ham-steak pain. It's not a gimmick, it's just a good way to motivate myself.
Update: One can't live on Momofuku food alone! You might have noticed that there are a bunch of other posts up that have nothing to do with Momofuku at all. Some of them are original recipes, some of them have been inspired by others, but all of them are delicious!
September 2010 Update:
Now that I've cooked through the entire Momofuku book, it's time to give myself a new goal. It'll be a big jump for me to go from Momofuku, a cookbook that no one thought was for the home cook to go to Ad Hoc at Home, which is, in Keller's words: a big collection of family meals and everyday staples, delicious approchable food, and recipes that are doable at home. I guess we'll see just how doable Chef Keller's recipes really are!

Janet was up before the Kirk Sessions again in 1839 for "being with child by George Donald of Cardnach".
Possible, especially given that Charles wasn't born in Moray. Aged 79 in 1841, he would have been born 1761/2. I wondered if he could be the one baptised in Boharm on 2 November 1761, son of Alexander Phin and Jean Young. Part of Boharm is in Banffshire, so this would make sense. I note with interest that in 1841 a Charles Phin, aged 15, is in the household of Janet Young, 65, and her family Margaret, 45, grocer; James, 35, schoolmaster and John, 35. In 1851 Janet Young is listed as 79, born Cromdale, and Margaret (57) and James (50), parochial schoolmaster, were born in Dallas. John Young (48), flesher, is in School House, Dallas with nephew Charles Phinn, 25.In 1861, James, 60, is schoolmaster, and in the household are his brother John (58) flesher and tenant of land; sister Margaret (67), grocer; nephew Charles Phinn (34), born Knockando; visitor Ann Phinn, widow, 63, born Dallas and George Gammie, visitor, aged 5, born Mortlach. I just happen to know (because this George Gammie married a distant cousin of mine) that George Gammie's mother was one Margaret Phin.
These Youngs were the relatives of my wife's ancestor Charles Phinn (born 1792) who married Ann Young from Dallas, who would be the Ann Phinn widow of 1861. The Charles Phinn aged 15 in 1841 is their son. They also had a daughter Margaret born in 1834 who must surely be the mother of George Gammie. She also had children with Surnames Mitchell, Davidson and Burgess, so one more illegitimate child won't make much difference.
Janet Fraser was actually Margaret's Niece by her sister Ann Phinn and her husband Alexander Fraser. Their eldest child I believe.
You could well be right about Janet Phinn/Grant, although 44 is not too old.
I checked my source and it says Janet GRANT with no mention of adultery. In the Mid 19thC women were beginning to take their husband's names in this area.
I don't know which name she gave in the census of 1851, she may still have been using Phinn.
Any daughter of Charles and Janet would certainly have been a Grant. I wasn't aware they had a daughter called Janet
Only way to be absolutely certain is to check the Kirk Session records in the NAS. I only have notes on them in "The Lands and People of Moray - Knockando".
If you do a search of the Public Reords Office London Webpage they come up with a Robert Phin of Inveravon

No Effeminate Person
"Don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived... no effeminate person... will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Most definitions for "effeminate" are based on culturally defined criteria, such as clothing styles, hair length, or mannerisms, such as a high-pitched voice, limp wrists, or an upper class accent. But the Bible must be talking about something more universal than that. Certainly God is not going to gauge eligibility for heaven on a person's testosterone level, or on what clothes they wear.
This whole subject of being "effeminate" needs to start with a look at what it means to be "masculine" or "feminine" in the biblical sense. The Bible tells us, for example, that "there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28) At the same time, it uses what has been called "sexist language" almost exclusively, referring to all "people" as "men", and occasionally even (as in the reference above) attaching a negative value to feminine traits.
It has been, until recently, understood in all English literature that masculine terms often include both sexes. It is fair to say that this is true with regard to the Bible as well. So if the Bible says, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature," what it really means is "If any person be in Christ, he or she is a new creature." This is specifically supported by the reference above, i.e. that "there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus."
The Bible uses feminine descriptions for both sexes as well. All followers of Jesus are referred to as his "bride", whether they be male or female. The Revelation speaks of an army which is composed only of "virgins", or "unmarried daughters". All indications are that males are not exempted from the female descriptions, and that females are not exempted from the male descriptions.
However, the same Apostle who ruled out sexism "in Christ Jesus", is also famous for having given specific instructions about males being the leaders and about females being the followers. This apparent contradiction has caused many divisions amongst Christians.
Our own understanding is that St. Paul was talking about something more spiritual than just a consideration of which sex organs a person possesses. He must have been talking about spiritual traits... traits which he has described in both masculine and feminine terms.
Scientific research has, in fact, revealed that there are certain functions carried out by certain parts of the brain. It has also discovered that one side of the brain appears to be more fully developed by women, and the other side appears to be more fully developed by men.
We will not concern ourselves at this time with whether this development amounts to an inherited difference, or whether it may be a culturally learned difference. What we are interested in are the differences in the two sides of the brain.
The side which is usually dominant in women is the emotional, intuitive, creative side; while the one that is usually dominant in men is the logical, intellectual, or rational side.
In another article ("The Spirit of God") we have compared these two sides of the human brain to God the Father (masculine and rational) and God the Holy Spirit (feminine and emotional). At creation, God the Father said to God the Holy Spirit, "Let us make man [i.e. both men and women] in our image, after our likeness." (Genesis 1:26) We understand from this that God wanted all people (of both sexes) to develop both sides of their brain. The reason he wanted this is because both sides of the brain represent aspects of God's nature.
However, we also believe that God wanted the masculine side to control the feminine side, rather than letting the feminine side control the masculine. Within each individual and group, the "male" traits must be the "leaders", and the "female" traits must be the "followers" if we are not to have chaos. Emotions need to be developed and appreciated; but confusion will result if people totally surrender themselves to emotionalism without reference to logic and reason.
What God wants from each of us (whether male or female) is submission to his supreme authority. If we will do that, we will become more fully matured individuals, with strong character and clear understanding of the important matters of life. But if we rebel against God's authority, we will turn into spiritual wimps... "effeminate people" in biblical terms, who really haven't got a clue where they are going, because they are tossed about by every little whim or fancy.
In other words, both sexes are seen as "sons" of God, who should identify with Daddy, recognise Daddy's authority, and submit to his discipline. This discipline will make them spiritually virile, like God himself. But if either men or women reject their heavenly Father's authority, they will become "effeminate" in his eyes, and spiritually reprobate.
Being effeminate starts with rebellion against God's right to tell us what to do. Satan led an angellic rebellion against God even before the earth was made. And he is leading another rebellion against God today. The Bible says that those who follow Satan "despise authority." (Jude 6-8)
On the human level, of course, we know that authority can be (and usually is) abused. But God must have the last word on what constitutes abuse and what constitutes divine authority. If you reject God's authority, you reject God, and you ultimately become effeminate. Anarchy is not the answer to authority abuse. Sheer rebellion against authority solves nothing. We must find something better if we are to find God.
The answer, of course, lies in total submission to the teachings of God's Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible says that when Jesus finished speaking what has been called the Sermon on the Mount, the people were amazed, because he spoke as one who had authority, and not as one of the (so-called) religious authorities of his day. (Matthew 7:28-29) When we submit completely to the will of God, as revealed through the teachings of Jesus, we too become "supermen" with divine authority.
We have often been amazed at the almost universal fear of public confrontation that our critics have in relation to ourselves. People who would gladly challenge anyone go suddenly quiet when we turn up. They go to extreme measures to escape having to hear what we say. The reason is because a lie will always run and hide from the truth. Their fear is probably our greatest source of confidence that what Jesus has given us really does come from God. They and their counterfeit gods are effeminate, while we are more than conquerors through the One who loves us!
But to achieve this kind of authority, we needed to first endure the disciplines of Jesus ourselves. Only to the extent that we have been willing to let God correct us and break us (and continue to correct us and break us) have we been able to beat the effeminate devils of the world around us.
There have been times when we felt like giving up. It would be so easy, because we all have the freedom to drop out of God's school of discipline at any time. Most people wimp out even before the classes begin; but others go along with a certain amount of discipline and just throw in the towel farther down the track, when they start to weary of discipline.
Now I will shift the focus of attention a bit. I will discuss how this relates to the gay and lesbian movement. The Bible connects homosexuality with rebellion against the authority of God (Jude 7, Romans 1:25-28) The gay movement is a dramatic manifestation of rebellion against God, and against masculinity. Even the feminist movement, which supposedly rejects traditional measures of femininity (while gullibly adopting many traditionally macho mannerisms and customs) does not call itself a "masculine" movement. Gays and lesbians alike, generally align themselves against God (in particular, against a masculine God) and in favour of one form or another of "feminism".
However, this movement's outspoken opposition to a male God who makes demands of his followers is just a reflection of the same spiritual rebellion that exists (albeit a bit more secretly) even amongst its strongest opponents. In fact, a homosexual who chooses to put God first in his life would become more truly "masculine" than all of the spiritual sissies that populate the churches -- including those who are most outspoken against homosexuality. The difference all stems from submitting to God. (See Coming Out of the Closet.)
To truly submit to God's discipline means spiritually forsaking all human relationships (whether heterosexual or homosexual) and joining God's "virgin army", an army composed of those who have "kept themselves" from effeminacy, by submitting to God's authority over every part of their lives. These "virgins" are not just women. Nor are they just men. They are people from both sexes who have learned to develop strong discipline, by not giving in to the lazy selfish desire to be mollycoddled or indulged in emotional confusion. These are people who have forsaken the "whore" of greed and promiscuous sex. The male side of their personality (i.e. their rational intellect) controls the female side (i.e. their emotions).
When we submit to the searchlight of God's truth, we find that it untangles the kinks and blind spots in our personalities. Our whole self-image undergoes radical changes, as God creates a "new person" out of the old. Our effeminate "old man" disappears... not through denials and cover-ups, but through a genuine discovery of a real person growing from within: a virile "new man" fashioned in the image of Christ Jesus.

This factory was built by Richard Donald in 1904. The town that grew out of it was named after him and bears his name to this day.
It manufactured charcoal, acetate of lime, wood alcohol and other byproducts. It continued production after being bought out by Standard Chemical Company in 1915. Production would continue, in fact, until closing in 1946.
After closing, all metal parts of the factory were stripped, and the iron furnaces cut up and sold for scrap.
Some time after 1953, the property was purchased by Alvin Kaye. Kaye opened a prefab plank-wall cottage factory and his business would continue until his eventual retirement.
Personal Commentary:
When we arrived, as is customary for us, we drove past the property, taking a few moments to size it up and determine what we're getting ourselves into. At first, we spotted the building on the corner, clearly part of the whole site, and were disappointed to discover that it appeared quite sealed.
It was then, almost as we were past it, that we actually noticed the skeletal remains of the main buildings in the woods across the street. This is what we were here for.
Looking for a place to put the truck, we realized that the roadway leading into the property was sporting a mailbox. Clearly someone was living somewhere on this land. We found somewhere to stash the truck and returned on foot. Initially, we began walking along the roadway attempting to determine how far back the dwelling might be. After a significant distance, it appeared it was someway back.
We began taking our pictures, and became quite enthralled by the whole place. The remnants of the old truck, the way the concrete hung from the roof. It was all incredible.
