{"text": "The year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance.\nThe hospital’s unusual name comes from the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, the congregation of nuns founded by Mary Potter in Nottingham, England in 1877. The “little company” refers to “the faithful followers who stayed with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, at the foot of the cross throughout his suffering and death,” according to the hospital’s website.\nThe congregation’s stated mission is to help for the poor, sick, suffering and dying. The Sisters worked extensively in Europe in its early years. A Chicago businessman visiting Rome was so impressed with the Congregation’s care of his terminally ill wife that he offered to sponsor the group in the U.S. Three nuns established the order in Chicago in 1893 as a result.\n“Who was it that remained faithful to Our Lord on Calvary? Was it not the little group who remained in the company of Mary at the foot of the cross?” – The Venerable Mary Potter, above, founder of The Sisters of the Little Company of Mary. (Photo courtesy Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center.)\nMary Potter died in 1913. In 1988, Pope John Paul II gave her “Venerable” status, a step on her way to eventual canonization as a saint.\nThe Sisters of the Little Company of Mary arrived in Torrance in 1957 to begin planning and fundraising for a new hospital to be built there. Hospital board co-chairman Sam Levy headed the fundraising campaign, which raised $500,000 from donations. Some federal funds were used, but no new bond issues or taxes were used to finance the effort.\nThe general contractor Steed Bros. broke ground on construction of the new five-story, four-wing structure on December 19, 1957. The completed Little Company of Mary Hospital at 4101 Torrance Boulevard had 150 beds, and was engineered to accommodate three additional stories for future expansions. It cost approximately $3.5 million to build.\nDedication ceremonies for the new hospital were held on Saturday, December 12, 1959. His Eminence James Frances Cardinal McIntyre blessed the facility. Among the estimated 1500 other attendees were County Supervisor Burton Chace, Torrance Mayor Albert Isen and many other mayors and chamber of commerce presidents from throughout the South Bay.\nThe first patients were admitted to the hospital on Sunday, January 3, 1960. Dr. John A. Wilson, M.D., of Manhattan Beach headed its medical staff of 175 physicians.\nThe hospital has expanded many times over the years. A new convent and chapel opened in August 1966. Major expansions also took place in 1969 and and 1979. after which the hospital’s bed count increased to 263.\nLittle Company of Mary Hospital in 1965. Daily Breeze file photo.\nIn 1992, San Pedro Peninsula Hospital became a part of the Little Company of Mary south Bay health network. Bay Harbor Hospital in Harbor City was added in 1997. In 1998, Little Company began leasing the former South Bay Hospital in Redondo Beach, transforming it into the Beach Cities Amublatory Care Center.\nOn September 1, 1999, Little Company of Mary began its affiliation with the Seattle-based Sisters of Providence Health System. By merging with Providence’s Burbank facilities, the Providence Health Care System Southern California Region was formed.\nAnother major expansion of Little Company’s Torrance hospital occurred in 2002 with the opening of the $55 million state-of-the-art Hannon Tower. The five-story, 122,000-square-foot building now houses about two-thirds of the hospital’s beds.\nIn April 2007, Little Company purchased the 6.7-acre parcel where the Daily Breeze had operated for more than 40 years, with plans to demolish the old Breeze building and construct new medical office buildings and a parking garage there.\nOn January 1, 2009, the facility officially changed its name to Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance."}

{"text": "Spoiler Alert!!!! If you have not seen the movie and do not want to know about a scene that occurs towards the end, please stop reading. I will describe the scene in detail but will not reveal its resolution, so if you can live with that please continue reading.\nTowards the end of the movie, Heath Ledger's Joker has done enough damage and posed enough threats to Gotham City that the police are attempting to evacuate as many people as possible (without using bridges or tunnels, which the Joker claims to have booby-trapped). One solution is to use two large ferries which hold 500 people each. For very practical reasons that I won't go into here one ferry is used to transport 500 civilians and the other is loaded with 500 prisoners and guards from a city jail.\nOnce the ferries are far enough from land, the Joker begins to broadcast through the speakers on the boats and informs the people that they will be partaking in what he calls a social experiment. In a certain amount of time (I can't recall what it was, but I would guess it was in the neighborhood of an hour or so) both boats will explode, and there is only one way to stop this from happening. Each boat has a detonator mechanism on it (which were found by the ships crew after the Joker remotely shut off the engines), and if one boat activates their trigger the other ferry will explode killing everyone on it, but the aggressive vessel will be allowed safe passage. The people are also told that if anyone attempts to leave either boat, both will be blown to bits. It is also notable that the radios were rendered inoperable, so the two groups had no way of speaking with each other.\nAs I remember it, the scene on the civilian boat played out something like this:\nQuick gut reaction from some to press the trigger. Assumption that prisoners will likely take control of their detonator by force and will not hesitate to destroy the civilian boat. Aggressive side (not surprisingly) is more vocal and pushing for quick action. Some argue that prisoners lives are less valuable, the already had their chance and blew it, etc. Eventually determined to put it to a vote and rely on majority rule.\nAs I said at the beginning, I don't intend on revealing the conclusion of this \"social experiment\" but the sequence was extremely well done and it seemed that anything could happen. What I hope to discuss here is what people would do if they were on that civilian boat.\nMy wife and I ran through this scenario in detail after the movie. I said I hoped that if I were in that situation I would cast my vote for not blowing up the other ferry and accepting the likelihood of death. I qualified with \"hoped\" because it's easy to look at this objectively while sitting on the sidelines, but obviously emotions can sometimes win out over logic or morals and I can't think of a much more emotionally charged situation than this one. My reasoning for voting for self sacrifice came to me in three different waves, two of which I am proud of, one of which I almost wish I hadn't thought of:\nLevel One Reasoning: Tactical\n- I don't think it's right to take another persons life if they are not a direct threat to you (there could be some argument here that the prisoners are a direct threat in a way as their potential for ongoing life is in direct conflict with mine. Nonetheless, I still find it hard to define their position as a direct threat.)\n- The \"criminal's life is worth less\" argument doesn't fly with me. Mainly because in this situation if I were to choose to end the convict's lives because they were less valuable I would then essentially commit murder and would then be no better than any of the prisoners and much worse than those who committed a lesser crime. Additionally, even if I agreed with the argument, I would have to take into account those on the other boat who were not criminals (crew, guards, etc) and would still die.\n- To Quote Fight Club, \"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero\". Taking the easy way out of this situation may buy you more time, but you'll still end up in the same place in the end (A.K.A. the William Wallace \"every man dies but not every man truly lives\" argument).\nLevel Two Reasoning: Strategic\n- The Joker's goal in the movie was to be an agent of chaos and basically show the people of Gotham City just how easily civilized society can turn into anarchy and bedlam. In my opinion, were I to vote for killing prisoners to save my own skin I would be playing right into his hand and giving him ammunition in his quest to prove that people are mostly evil with nothing but a tiny layer of civility separating you from your neighbor's inner demon (for those of you who watch \"Scrubs\" this is the Dr. Cox/Dr. Kelso \"people are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling\" argument). As I see it, the best possible outcome of this experiment for the Joker is the \"good people\" proving the Dr. Cox/Kelso argument and murdering the \"bad people\". I'd rather not help the homicidal maniac.\n- Knowing that the Joker would benefit most from the good people doing the bad thing, there is a reasonably good chance that the prisoner boat would explode and the civilians would be blamed regardless of which detonator was triggered, or even if neither were used before time expired. Under these guidelines, the only negative consequence would be found in voting yes to detonation, watching the prisoner ferry explode, and having to live with that decision every day going forward. Voting no would have a neutral expectation as the outcome was determined before I was inserted into the equation.\nIt's worth noting that this particular line of reasoning may be:\n- A little more involved than the average panicking, minutes from death individual may be capable of (although with my propensity for overanalyzing situations ranging from ridiculously mundane to life altering important I'd like to think that I'd be able to get there).\n- Unavailable to those on the boat who did not have the chance to watch the first 1.75 hours of \"The Dark Knight\" wherein the greatest hits of the Joker's strategy and motivations were on display.\nLevel Three Reasoning: Cynical\n- If there's one thing I can count on it's for people to generally look out for themselves. With that in mind, I can vote no to detonation and be reasonably certain that the majority will vote yes and detonation will in fact occur and I will be spared. Voting no in this case allows me to tell myself I did the right thing but entails very little actual risk. (This is the one that trips me up. From a logical standpoint, I'm glad I thought of this because it makes sense. However, I'm simultaneously slightly troubled that I so easily figured out a completely amoral solution to such a complex problem.)\nOK, I think that's all I have on this one. Leave a comment and let me know where you'd fall on this issue and why.\nAgain, I can't stress this enough: Go See The Dark Knight!!! The best thing I can say about it is that I can write 1400 words on one scene and not even scratch the surface. If you're in Chicago and want someone to see it with, I'll be happy to go for a repeat viewing.\n70 comments:\nOK - If the time frame was really short - I would spend my energy preparing to die - rather than be caught off guard. If there was a decent amount of time I would be trying to find a way to survive without harming the other boat. Maybe all jump ship simultaneously and hope some of us lived. I haven't seen the movie, but will be looking for insight into this scene when I do see it.\nUpdate #1\nJust saw it a second time, this time in the IMAX theater (and yes, I'm posting this at 4:41 am after getting home from the 1:00 am showing). Same great movie, substantially enhanced by the IMAX experience. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest making every effort possible to do so in an IMAX theater.\nResponding to the original comment. The time frame was probably closer to 30 minutes than my original estimate of 60, you can decide if that is enough time for preparing to die or not. Only option for simultaneous jumping would have been to yell from boat to boat and try to get everyone on the rails (remember no radios) and then use the 1,2,3 technique (or 3,2,1, if those on the boat read my blog).\nGreat analysis of the film.\nThank You. I get excited over the fact that there's a big hollywood action movie that isn't scared to be thought provoking and challenging while being entertaining... I know other studios/writers/directors are paying attention to the success of \"The Dark Knight\", now I just have to hope they put some effort into making their big budget movies more intelligent.\npersonally, i'm convinced that the detonators controlled their own ship, not the other ship as the joker says. i guess i just assume that he always lies, and it adds another level of complexity.\nThis scene was one of the main reasons I would argue to nay-sayers that superhero movies can indeed merit lots of depth and philosophically relevant themes. Personally, I thought the conclusion of the experiment was far too optimistic of a conclusion (especially what ended up happening on the prisoner boat), but the entire situation still offered a lot of good thinking.\nI don't consider myself to be morally spotless and would have probably voted to blow up the prisoner boat. Humans were built selfish for a reason -- we all want to survive. Morals came after that natural instinct had been there for thousands of years. That said, I may have ended up like the guy that said he would be the one to press the button and ultimately couldn't do it. I like your last argument too though -- voting against it while simultaneously believing in the fact that others will do your dirty work for you.\nThe question of whether humans are inherently \"good\" or \"evil\" has always been an incredibly difficult one. The Dark Knight seemed to conclude that they were ultimately good, and while I wasn't necessarily disappointed with that, I think it would have been far more likely that both parties come up \"inconclusive.\"\nI'd like to echo the other anonymous poster above. Even though the people on the boats didn't have any particular insight into the Joker's motivations or plans, as the movie audience did, my first thought if I were on the boat would be, \"How can we believe this disembodied voice from the loudspeaker?\" What if he's lying? What if the detonator blows up your own boat, or both boats, or some other bomb like in a hospital across town? He's the freaking Joker!\nI REALLY loved this scene except as I was watching it I was convinced that the detonators were hooked up to their own boat – ie. If the civilians chose to detonate, they’d actually be blowing themselves up.\nI don't think your last line of reasoning gets you off the hook at all. If you vote cynically, then your intended outcome is still to have the other boat blow up and you to survive. Note that you're assuming - actually HOPING - that your compatriots will still outnumber you. This is a long way from voting against detonation in the hopes that you won't be killing a boatload of people.\nIf this is the moral loophole you want it to be, then answer this: how would you feel if, contrary to your expectations, the vote did go against detonation? Disappointment?\nRe: The detonators controlling their own ship... That was my original thought as well. I concluded, as the previous poster did, that the joker certainly did not play fair and would have manipulated the situation to achieve his best possible outcome. I couldn't see how the civilians blowing up would provide more benefit for the joker's cause.\nIf the prisoners killed the civilians, it just re-proves that they were bad people. If the prisoners killed themselves nothing would change except they would have been punished for being bad.\nIf the civilians killed themselves, it would prove that supposedly good people were just as bad or worse than prisoners. Their bad intentions would have backfired on them and they would have paid the ultimate price for their choice. This is effective in showing that normal people are inherently selfish and unpredictable, but also follows a standard \"commit a crime and you will be punished\" train of thought.\nIf the civilians killed the prisoners, the joker could show that good people have dark hearts just like him and that there would be no punishment for it. Imagine if the civilians were reinserted back into Gotham after choosing to kill and the joker announced their actions and possibly divulged their names to the rest of the city. I believe this would have served the joker best in his cause to shatter the people's faith in the goodness and civility of others and push forward his agenda of chaos.\nActually, it just occurred to me that the best scenario for the Joker might be to rig BOTH detonators to the prisoners boat. That way, no matter who pressed it, it would always look like the civilians killed the prisoners first. \"We swear, we never pressed it,\" they would say, but would they be believed? After all, analysis would show it was rigged to kill the other boat, who would ever know what the other detonator was rigged for, it's been destroyed.\nMichael. I completely agree that the cynical approach would not get me off the hook on this one. That's why I said that I wasn't really proud of coming up with that line of reasoning.\nMy conversation with my wife about this situation followed almost exactly in the order in which I wrote this post. The cynical \"solution\" was the last point I thought about and I remember looking at my wife after I explained it and saying something to the effect of, \" I wish I hadn't thought of that, now I feel like an ass.\"\nMichael,\nRe: The prisoners boat exploding no matter which detonator was pushed... That's exactly what I thought (note my second bullet point under the strategic reasoning section).\nSPOILER!!\nI was wondering why the joker did not use an automatic timer to detonate the boats when time ran out. Apparently his plan for manual control was not effective.\nRight, so I'm just saying it's not a \"solution\" at all (quotes or not). It doesn't solve anything, really, from a moral standpoint, so you may as well just vote to detonate.\nI see now what you meant when you said in your second strategic point about the prisoners blowing up no matter what. In my first reading, I didn't take it to mean both detonators would trigger the prisoners' boat, but rather, that from a strategic standpoint (Gotham v. The Joker) it's better for us civilians to die at the hands of the prisoners than the other way around. So a bit of strategic martyrdom? Maybe that's yet another reason for you?\nI don't know that there's any need for deep philosophy here. I haven't seen the movie, and thus not the ferries involved, but unless there's a pretty airtight means of keeping everybody onboard, the idea that at least one person out of 1000 isn't going to try to bail out regardless of what happens to everybody else is too preposterous to even consider.\nAssuming The Joker's parameters are accurate,\nTactical:\n\"I still find it hard to define their position as a direct threat\"\nPut me in the disagree column. If someone is doing something likely to result in your death - and it doesn't matter why they're doing it - it's OK to use deadly force to stop them.\n\"I would have to take into account those on the other boat who were not criminals (crew, guards, etc) and would still die\"\nWhy? You don't extend that consideration to those on your own boat.\nStrategic:\n\"giving him ammunition in his quest to prove that people are mostly evil with nothing but a tiny layer of civility separating you from your neighbor's inner demon\"\nBaloney. Taking action to defend yourself from violent, dangerous criminals is a rational response to danger, not some sort of philosophical concession. And even if it was, if the criminal's philosophical point is, in fact, correct, I don't see where the loss is.\nCynical:\nI'm with you all the way here. Pacifists are basically sanctimoniuos parasites who exist because better people than them will do what's necessary to defend them.\nI can see how that section might not have been completely clear Michael. One of those situations where you know exactly what you're thinking and therefore don't explain it properly enough.\nI saw this movie on opening night and I agree, it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.\nI recall the scene you speak of and I remember thinking. Blow them up! Blow them up! I was going right along with the other aggressives that couldn't foresee that the criminals wouldn't act in their own best interest.\nSuffice it to say, I was impressed with how it turned out.\nAnonymous (10:10am) you're criticism of the tactics and strategy are basically putting more faith in The Joker (a diabolical criminal mastermind) than a collective group of prisoners of unknown crimes and moral compasses. In order for it to be beneficial to kill the others, you have to have faith the Joker won't kill you anyway. If he does, you're dead AND damned. There really is no sure way of avoiding danger.\nAnd of course, to your first point, the Joker simply said if anyone leaves either boat, he blows them up.\nAs I was watching I whispered to my wife, \"He's lying, the triggers are for their own boats\". What could be more diabolical than that? The selfish party blows themselves up and the Joker proves his point on how people will react to things.\nTadow, check out the conversation Michael and I have been having re: triggers being wired to own boats vs both triggers being wired to prisoners boat and let us know what you think.\nThe reason the Joker did not have automatic timers was to allow for the manual detonation of a boat if a rescue or escape was attempted. I suppose he could have had an automatic AND manual timer, but hey, that's complicated.\nIf I were on either boat, I would have elected not to push the button because 1) I would have been concerned about the Joker's truthfulness, as stated by others, and 2) Batman always comes to the rescue...gotta have a little faith, right?\nWhich way would I vote? Hard to say. I'd like to think I'd vote to press the button. I like to live. But then, who knows what kind of crazy thoughts go through your head in that situation.\nI have to agree with some of the other commenters, my initial thought was that the boats were rigged to kill themselves when the trigger was pulled; that is that the Joker was lying.\nBut on thinking it over more thoroughly, I realized that throughout the movie the Joker reiterates that he is \"a man of his word\" and he certainly does seem to try to keep his word.\nIn short, he doesn't do a lot of lying throughout the movie. He does a lot of crazy. A lot of anti-social. But not a lot of lying. The only thing that might count as a \"lie\" would be when he decides not to kill Batman after taking the job from the mob, but we don't actually see the parameters of that contract, so who knows what he actually agreed to.\nI've only seen it once (so far, I say as I eagerly eye the I-Max showtimes), but thinking through his actual statements there was...\n1) Clown thug in bank robbery: \"I'm sure the Joker told you to kill me, so I'm going to go ahead kill you first.\"\nJoker dressed like clown thug: \"Kill you? No, no, no. I'm supposed to kill the bus driver.\"\nClown thug: \"Bus driver? What bus...\" [he gets run over by a bus]\nBus driver: \"What happened to everybody?\" [Joker kills him]\n2) Joker: \"How about a magic trick?\" [slams pencil in table] \"I'm going to make this pencil... disappear.\" [Thug attacks him, he throws him to the table, burying the pencil in his eye] \"See? It's gone!\"\n3) Batman: \"Let her go!\"\nJoker: \"Really poor choice of words.\" [lets her go... while holding her out of a window]\n4) Joker (televised message after Wayne's employee threatens to unmask Batman) \"But why should I have all the fun? Here's the deal. Unless somebody kills this guy in the next hour, I'm gonna blow up a hospital.\"\nMuch hilarity ensues as Gordan tries to simultaneously coordinate the evacuation of every hospital and protect that guy from an entire angry city that wants to kill him. Ultimately, the guy is saved when Bruce Wayne 'tries to make a light' getting in the way of a truck that would have taken him out. And then the Joker blows up a hospital. (While wearing what I must say was a very fetching nurse's outfit. Hubba, hubba.)\nAt any rate. It just occurs to me that the guy, though psychotic, was indeed \"a man of his word.\" I think the test was exactly as he described. Whether the bridges and tunnels were actually rigged is an open question. As I recall, his message merely said that \"the bridge and tunnel crowd are in for a serious surprise...\" and the police assumed (as he meant them to) that he had rigged the exits with explosives.\nOf course, as I say, I've only seen the movie once, a week and a half ago, so I could be forgetting stuff...\nI didn't see it mentioned here, but it is important to note that Joker did not know one boat would have prisoners. That was a plan put in place by Gotham officials and just happened to make the situation all the more sinister, but he did not know it would be prisoners vs civilians. He thought it would be civilians vs civilians, which is an even more absurd situation, in some ways. It's easier to justify offing prisoners; much harder when the other boat is just like yours...\nI always think of these situations in movies and am astounded by how dumb people are. It happens in \"24\" a lot: \"Help us arm this nuke or we'll kill you!\" The guy helps and then gets killed anyway. Why would you trust someone so clearly willing to kill? You're probably going to die regardless, don't directly contribute to the deaths of others. I would just sit and accept my fate. If the prisoners kill us, so be it. If the Joker does, so be it. But I'm not going to A) kill people to save myself and B) especially if I have no faith it will save myself!\nJust my two cents. But my first point, about the Joker's knowledge of the passengers on each ship, is important.\nBlighter, it's important to note one MAJOR lie:\nThe location of Harvey and Rachel. Joker was willing to manipulate any situation to achieve his outcome. He wanted Dent alive and tricked Batman into saving him.\nHe also routinely lied about the origins of his scars. He has stated that he does not believe in \"rules\" and thus does not really adhere to any loyalty, to another person or to his word. There are scenes in which he came through on his promises/threats, but these are hardly evidence of his honesty. He's even criticized for not recognizing the old mantra of \"honor among thieves\".\nBlighter, don't forget that the joker lied when he gave Batman the choice between saving Rachel or Harvey. He lied there in order to further his plan of driving the city into chaos, so I wouldn't put it past him to lie in the ferry situation as well.\noops, looks like I should have read Brian's post before responding to blighter.\nwhat's with all the kudos here?- batman begins was the better flick- i think the more interesting dilemma was batman's- in the dialectic between good and evil, batman should have been pulled towards evil (as Raz was in the first) and killed the joker- however, he seemed to brush justice aside, as he did in BB, and spares the J- so thus he struggles to rectify evil and justice- the ferry boat stuff was just a variation on the prisoners dilemma (the homage being one of the boats has prisoners), and as we all learn, there are no clear moral choices once you cross the line and commit a crime\nBlighter, this is a GIGANTIC SPOILER (BEWARE!) but your claim that the Joker is a man of his word is blown to smithereens by one glaring precedent: the switched respective locations of Dent and Rachel held hostage. In fact, this is exactly the same sort of misinformation he would be using if he wired the boats opposite from the way he said he would.\nI'd just like to further the commentary to expound upon something that the last anonymous post raised: the larger context.\nLet's not forget about Batman, and the fact that this is a hero/villain dilemma as much as it's a prisoners' dilemma. Part of the brilliance of this film is the various dichotomies between regular criminals vs. organized criminals, organized criminals vs. the joker, law-abiding heroes vs. vigilante heroes ... I'll truncate the list here.\nThe big question that the film continually raises is: at what point is it OK to curtail morality for the sake of a perceived greater good? In the beginning, it's about whether a vigilante avenger is a good thing for the city, but by the end it is well beyond that. Have we (Gothamites) devolved into a dog-eat-dog mentality, or do we still obey certain codes? You know, like those mob guys still do! In this way, the ferry dilemma isn't even the final climax, though it does present a resounding answer either way. The final climax comes when Batman makes the ultimate sacrifice to this ideal. The ferry scene is just a sublime set-up to this moment! If either boat had pressed the trigger, could Batman still have done what he done at the end? Certainly not.\nHighlighting the larger dichotomy/tension between these opposites is important. I did feel at points that TDK was a bit TOO symbolic. Batman being \"chased\" by dogs at the end while Gordon talks about the need to \"chase\" a villain was a bit goofy. The repeated references to Dent as the \"White Knight\" to set up the idea of Batman as the \"Dark Knight\" was a bit of an overkill. HOWEVER, it did show that there is this constant struggle. Rule vs anarchy (Batman vs Joker) is the primary struggle, which harkens back to good vs evil. One of the important things is how is \"good\" defined. It is a matter of not violating the ultimate rule (don't kill)? Many still view Batman as bad, despite his attempts to work for good. That is what the previous posted pointed out nicely, that there is a gradation. Dent to Batman to Criminals to Joker. From the ultimate good to the ultimate evil. The rest of the people fall somewhere in between and it is where we fall that determines what side of the VARIOUS lines we choose. Great post!\nBrian, are you sure the joker didn't know there were prisoners on the other boat? Now that you mention it, I can't think of anything in particular that would lead me to believe that he did, and if that's true then my strategy line of reasoning can pretty much be thrown out.\nMy thoughts are just that: nothing in the movie indicates he did. Clearly, he had to arm the ships far ahead of time. There is a conversation at one point between city officials (don't remember who) arguing the merits of evacuating the prisoners, and someone says something along the lines of, \"We don't want these guys to become a part of whatever Joker is planning.\" It seems as if it was an internal judgment call made by the officials. Granted, the other passengers did, as did the people at the dock (probably simply by seeing who was getting on the boat). It's possible the Joker did ultimately find out who was on the boat, but nothing indicates it was part of the plan. I'm open to hearing anything to the contrary, but nothing SEEMED to indicate his plan was to pit civilians vs prisoners and, when you think about it, he wanted civilians vs civilians (as evidenced by his ploy with Reese). Granted, I've seen it once and will see it again in IMax on Sunday, so I may know more then.\nI'll have to take your guys' words for it on the switching thing.\nI've heard a lot of people talk about that and so I must have not paid close enough attention. I thought he gave the correct addresses (I wasn't listening all that closely) respectively for Harvey and Rachel and then Batman chose to save Harvey over Rachel as he felt that Harvey was more important for the city (in fact, his whole thing right to the end is that Harvey is crucial for the city's future, so crucial that he's willing to take the blame for Harvey's insanity in order to protect Harvey's image.\nNow I prob. just wasn't paying close enough attention, I know I wasn't when the Joker rattled off the addresses (I have enough trouble keeping real addresses straight, let alone fake ones...) but at the end when Batman and Gordan are trying to talk Two-Face out of killing the kid, he (Harvey) goes on about how it was random and fate and all that but I thought that Gordan and Batman attempt to counter him by telling him it wasn't random. That they chose to save him because they needed him.\nI'm kind of dissappointed if it wasn't this way b/c I kind of feel it messes with some of the themes I liked: the Joker having some kind of logic inherent to himself that is impossible for anyone else to fathom but is logic; and Batman having to consistently put the needs of the city (and thus of Harvey) above his own desires.\nAnd, as I think about it, if Batman and Gordan didn't choose to save Harvey but merely fell for the Joker's trick but then tell Harvey they chose him when trying to save the kid, aren't they then lying? And thereby corrupting themselves? Meaning the Joker won again, on some level?\nAh well. Guess I'll have to see it again and watch more closely...\nThanks for the input!\nOh yeah, on the Joker not following the \"honor among thieves\", I felt that this was part and parcel of him playing to the tune of his own drummer. He's not playing by bad-guy rules, he's not playing by good-guy rules, he claims to not be playing by any rules, yet keeps coming up with little dilemmas for others that rely on his own set of rules.\nAnyways...\nNice post. It was exactly Joker's style to not play by anyone's rules. Nicely put though, far better than I had.\nInteresting take on the Harvey/Rachel situation. At first I thought Batman lied about going for Rachel when he ultimately went for Dent. However, it is clearly revealed that the Joker tricked them. It would fit with certain themes if he did let Rachel die to save Harvey, but it is still early in Batman's evolution and he's already shown a weakness towards Rachel (leaving all the party-goers alone to save her). I think this is much like the evolution of Bond introduced in Casino Royale. After losing a true love, he is somewhat hardened and realized he needs to make decision beyond his own needs because he can't become emotionally attached. I dunno, thats how I feel it HAS to be explained, though your alternate theory would have made for GREAT story work, but the facts, unfortunately, don't allow it to be true.\nI think that the prisoners' detonators were connected to civilians' boat, and vice versa -\njust like the Joker said. It is important to note, as brianjkoscuiszka said, that the Joker was willing to tell lies when it served his purposes. However, in the case of the ferries, I don't think the Joker had much of an incentive to kill the aggressive party. If he punished the wrongdoers, he would essentially be discouraging selfish/bad behavior - seems like the opposite of what he would want to do. I also think having both detonators rigged to the prisoners' boat would be sort of a feeble trick, because the general public would be more likely to believe 500 eyewitnesses than some nutter who rigged two boats with explosives. I mean honestly, can you really get 500 hundred random people to play along with such a big lie? Someone would want to talk, even if it was just for a book deal and a spot on Oprah.\nRegardless, it is an interesting experiment. Sort of like a reverse prisoner's dilemma, where you're punished not for being selfish, but for trying to do the right thing.\nI'd like to think that I'd vote not to blow up the other ship, but realistically, I think it would be a race to the button on both ships. No matter how long they were given to make their decision, the real time constraint isn't the one the Joker put in place, but how long it takes the other ship to make their choice. Faced with that kind of uncertainty, I don't think it would even come to a vote. People on both boats would freak out, and when someone decided to go ahead and press the button right away, nobody would stop them.\nWow in the time it took my to type my comment, it pretty much became obsolete.\nBlighter, after the joker interrogation Gordon asks Batman who he is going for, to which Batman replies \"Rachel\". Gordon and his men then go to the alternate address to save Harvey.\nThe Joker knew that Rachel was Batman's (and Harvey's) biggest vulnerability. He parlayed that knowledge into a deceptive situation that would serve to both make Batman choose to benefit himself instead of the greater good and destroy Harvey A.K.A. Gotham's best hope.\nBatman and Gordon don't lie to Harvey in the warehouse with the Gordon family because they did try to save both him and Rachel. Batman made it on time to Rachel, who turned out to be Harvey and Gordon and his men were late getting to Harvey, who turned out to be Rachel.\nAnother scenario was presented to me this week. I don't want to spoil a critical scene from the movie, but after discussing this scene with my coworkers, one of them came up with a real good explanation. The decision the prisoner makes when he has the detonator might seem like a moral decision, but what if he read the Joker like a book and saw that it was all a setup. What if the Joker made people make a moral decision, but instead of blowing the other boat they blow themselves up when they press the detonato . Pretty ironic twist! The Joker is a intellectual killer and he probably could have plan it this way and had a great laugh about it.\nGreat point, Omair. It was in Joker's best interests to have the civilians blow up criminals. Really, his ULTIMATE plan would have had one group of civilians blow up ANOTHER group of civilians. This is why I lean towards Joker not knowing/planning the criminal angle. I tend to not think he was lying, but also think it would have been delightfully devilish. However, not up his alley in the sense of the LARGER game he was playing. Though, as Joker said, he doesn't really believe in \"plans\" (though he clearly does) so it's possible he didn't give a crap and would have been glad to see lots of people blow up. Remember, no one on shore knew what was happening on the boats. How terrifying would it be if your one hope for evacuating a condemned island blows up seemingly without reason in the middle of the river?\nbrianjkoscuiszka & Sean, thanks for the responses. Guess I have to work on my movie-watching skills...\nAlso, brianjkoscuiszka, I like your explanation of the structure of the movie as is (as opposed to as dreamed-up through my misunderstandings) and the comparison to the new Bond take (assuming that the new Bond flick is as excellent as Casino Royale was...).\nHaving it be a 'learning experience' for Batman sets up a multi-movie story arc for him and also puts a bit more of the emphasis back on him. (I felt Batman was almost a prop in this one as the Joker and Harvey had all the fun.)\nHaving it specifically be Batman learning the lesson of \"no emotional attachments\" is interesting as it fits in well with his line of \"I see now what I have to become to defeat men like him\", namely he has to become as inhuman in his own way as the Joker. No emotional ties puts him a lot closer to the Joker side than he started.\nThe Harvey/Rachel lie kind of shoots my understanding of the Joker's logic down but that doesn't necessarily invalidate my point about him playing by his own rules: it rather reinforces that those rules are inscrutable, even to the audience obsessing over the film days afterward.\nI do wonder at the \"choice\" they describe to Harvey being the choice to save both of them. Doesn't sound like a choice to me; sounds like trying to have your cake and eat it too. It seems that, due to the Joker's forsight in switching the locations, Harvey is right: It was random chance that he lived and Rachel died.\nAnyways. Good thing it was a slow day at work when I stumbled on this post, eh? Fun discussion you've started, Sean.\nThanks Brian. I'll agree that the Joker probably prefers more death to less, but I think it's clear he'll choose chaos over casualties any day. Remember, he said he didn't want to kill Batman because he was just too much fun. By the same token, I think the joker would rather have 500 people become killers (and have to live with what they've done), rather than kill 1000 himself. I'm not sure whether we can assign that sort of foresight to the Joker, but the movie did seem to be extraordinarily well thought out, so I think it's safe.\nOh yeah, Brian mentioned the party scene where Batman leaves to save Rachel as an example of his over-riding concern for her. I think he's right about that but it reminded me that that scene was the one place I thought there was a significant plot hole. But maybe you guys can enlighten me on this point too:\nWhat happened in the party after Batman and Rachel left? Did the Joker keep looking for Harvey and not find him, despite the fact that he was locked in a closet shut with a huge bar through the handles? Did he give up and leave suddenly? Why would he do that? Just because one girl and Batman had left?\nI suppose he might have left suddenly because the Batman had shown up and he wasn't ready to face him yet but it seems to lack a certain forsight to attack a huge party in Gotham and not be prepared for Batman to show.\nAnd say what you will about the rest of the Joker's gags: they did not lack forsight.\nOmair, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was trying to point out that Joker claiming to have no use or interest in plans implies that he may simply aim for maximum carnage. But, as you pointed out, there is definitely more to it than that, and the idea of creating 500 \"Jokers\" is probably too alluring. Basically, with the exception of the outcome that ultimately happened (Batman saves the day... yawn), the Joker couldn't lose. One group blows up the other and BAM!, 500 new people he can prey on for their participation in chaos. Both boats blow up and BAM! the city turns against itself as people realize they are stranded. But, yes, I agree that the idea of 500 citizens blowing up 500 other citizens would be the MOST Joker-ish.\nAlso, I don't think it's a matter of Batman becoming INHUMAN as it is becoming more ABSOLUTE. The Joker is absolute evil. There is no reason why, he just is. Batman needs to become his opposite. You are right that, in some ways, this brings him closer to Joker. But I don't know that it makes him inhuman as much as it removes subjectivity from his actions. Interesting point, though! The idea of him slipping closer to Joker by trying to avoid being lured in by Joker again is brilliant!\nBlighter,\nThere was a handful of plot holes like that. It seemed as if they really could have done TWO shorter movies, but combined it into one mega-awesome movie, but lost a few bits in between. They also don't REALLY fully show his escape scene (the bomb goes off and suddenly everyone is dead but him?) or what happens on the boat (it's assumed he just kills everyone and burns the money, but it seems like it's possible more happened). There were a few transitions left out, that were a bit frustrating. My take on THAT scene is that they realize Dent wasn't there or couldn't find him and left. As you pointed out, Joker wasn't random, he was very calculated with tons of foresight, so it's likely he retreated to rethink his approach. Also, he was probably thrown off by Batman's sudden appearance.\nIt's kind of funny to imagine the Joker sitting at a desk planning, maybe drawing up some diagrams, negotiating salaries with his thugs. All in all, I just hope they put him in the next movie as well. But whether anyone can do it the way Heath Ledger did... I don't know.\nI am wondering what Bruce Wayne's next big dilemma is going to be though. No more Rachel, no more Harvey to protect. I hope he doesn't get boring.\nPersonally, I don't understand why people even played the Joker's game. It doesn't matter what you do in the game, you have an uncertain chance of dying. It seems to me that disarming your bomb is a safer course of action than playing along with a homicidal madman.\nOmair. I thought about that to. Where does the Joker go at night? What does he eat? He's still human and has to partake in human things. Where does he go when he's done Joker-ing around? Not really important, but funny to think about him watching a ball game or getting frustrated trying to put some Ikea furniture together.\nOne way I see the Joker being able to return is having him undergo some sort of psycho-therapy in prison. One of the hallmarks of the Joker is that he is so inconsistent. Having someone try to toy with his brain (only to fail) but still leaving him invariably altered would allow a different actor to take a different approach. Make-up/prosthetics will allow a similar look, but his psyche/actions can be explained away by a re-awakening of a different side of the Joker through his experiences in prison. One aspect of the Joker is that his lack of a past allows him to vary his future.\nThat's one theory. It'd have to be REALLY well though out, though Nolan has given us hope that he can do this. But, even if it's a \"different\" Joker, hard to imagine anyone doing what Heath did.\nRE: the joker at Bruce Wayne's Party/Fundraiser... I read somewhere that there was a scene shot where the joker exits the party, but it was not included in the theatrical version of the film. Maybe we'll have to look out for deleted scenes on the DVD to clear this one up?\nNice find. My guess is the \"director's cut\" will push 3 hours plus. Can't wait for the DVD, but a movie that long might have pushed people away. How much better is IMax than regular?\nI'm curious as to what they do with the next one as well.\nI can see a few possibilities. Note that I haven't thought these through, I just share them in the spirit of sharing.\n1) Catwoman. I think Nolan could do some good stuff with her. Her more ambigious morality could also be an interesting temptation for Batman. Can he maintain his absolutes when someone who is almost like him is tempting him towards the other side? Also interesting in the \"he's lost a love interest and sworn off emotional ties but then Catwoman shows up...\" kind of thing.\n2) The Riddler. Once again, I think this is a character with potential in the Nolan universe. Make him more OCD, less whimsical. Perhaps set up a contrast between his obsessions and Batman's: Batman has one rule; The Riddler has rule after rule that he creates for himself (the riddles) and tries to live with all of them. Or perhaps a contrast between The Riddler's rule-bound style and the Joker's trying to destroy rule-bound styles.\nI think most of Batman's other iconic enemies would be tricky to effectively work into the Nolan universe as they are a bit too 'cartoony', for lack of a better word: Penguin, Posion Ivy, etc.\nI could maybe see Mr. Freeze because I like the possibilities of his absolutes and cold-bloodedness (hehe, if you will) going up against Batman's new \"absolutes\" developed in this movie. But you'd almost certainly have to drop the frozen-suit and freeze-ray tropes and I'm not sure enough of the character survives to be worthy of the same iconic name, though they played with the Scarecrow effectively, so who knows...\nAs to the Joker coming back. One part of me would love to see another Joker story line. The character they created was very compelling and very interesting. But another part of me is very leery of letting someone else try to step into Heath's shoes.\nEven if the new actor did the character justice, it almost diminishes Heath's achievement by letting somebody else piggy-back off it.\nBut I like Brian's idea for an explanation of any differences in style.\nBlighter, I really like your Riddler explanation, though Nolan is SUPPOSEDLY on record as saying Joker was the only villain he was willing to re-use from a previous movie. However, I don't know who that leaves. Nolan admits to liking Penguin but having no idea how to make him non-cartoony. They idea of the Nolan re-boot is that all of these people could exist in the real world. The Riddler is the only one that comes to mind, THOUGH, some people have claimed it is POSSIBLE Dent is still alive (that would be a stretch for me).\nI like the idea of Riddler being introduced, but not as \"The Riddler\". Moreso just as an OCD guy, like Blighter described, who maybe sees where Joker failed and wants to take a different approach. It will be interesting.\nAlso, I haven't seem them myself, but 6 Animatrix-style movies were released to fill in the gap between BB and TKD. Might be worth checking out and give a clue as to where it goes, though it's possible EVERYTHING had to get thrown out the window once Heath passed.\nI asume that in the list of villains he was willing to reuse from past movies, Two-Face was also on the list? Unless it was a bit of misdirection to leave the plot of this movie more secret...\nI like your idea, Brian, of not naming him \"The Riddler\" explicitly, just an OCD guy who's weirdnesses seem to revolve around puzzles in some way.\nThanks from reminding me of the anime-mini Batman movies. I was planning to rent those and had forgotten. Maybe tonight...\nBrian, I saw it in a regular theater first and in an IMAX theater my second time. The IMAX really makes a difference. The combination of theater shaking sound and gigantic screen really increases the feeling that you're a part of the action. I highly recommend the IMAX experience!\nbtw, the timeframe was before midnight. I remember (though I may be wrong) that they were also told that both boats were going to blow up if neither made a decision. Although this didn't happen the idea of the threat by the JOker was to encourage the kaos and anarchy that was his goal.\nCorrect. Joker was about to blow them both up when Batman intervened. He had every intention of following through on his threat, as he always does...\nThis prisoners' dilemma was my favorite part of a very good film.\nNormatively, it does seem best for both boats to accept what will come to them if they don't act and allow the blood to be on the Joker's hands.\nLogically though, if the rules were truly set, it would make sense for one boat to go. The possible out comes are -1000 (either if no one or both act) or -500 (if only one acts) so acting cannot achieve a worse outcome than not acting. The question is how to coordinate so that only one boat goes, and logic cannot establish which should go, which exposes the argument that prisoners are of less value.\nWere I on the boats, I might have argued that the Joker is a psychopath and his promise of sparing the boat that blows the other one up might be false. After seeing one blow up he might have said, \"Haha, I was right!\" and blow up the other boat anyway.\nA couple of points I didn't see (sorry I only read about 35-40 comments before posting).\nThe civillian boat was an evacuation boat. Whcih menas it was filled with families. I might be willing to be noble and risk my own death for my principles but if my wife and step daughter are in danger than I am willing to kill to protect them from harm.\nIf as suspected the trigger resulted in my own boat blowing up I'd never know. The suspense not the actual death is the torture here. Waiting and wondering if I'm going to die knowing I could stop it. Death or murder are the ways to end the torment. At least of the current situation. if my actions create hell on Earth for me than it was for naught or if I end up in Hell because of my actions tha again for not. But those are possabilities while the current torment is a certainty.\nI am not in a game of chance against one other individual I am in a game of chance agaisnt a group. Crowds are, because of the difusion of blame, capable of much greater attrocities than an individual would be. So a group is judged not by the best or even the average among it but by the lowest common denominator.\nGreat post and comment thread. I just saw the movie on Monday and enjoyed it immensely, largely because it shies away from easy answers and simple good/evil dichotomies.\n(Not wholly, insofar as the Joker is an unambiguous force of evil and chaos--however, because he is insane, this is more understandable. As I like to say, the only people in the world who actually think of themselves as evil are literally crazy people and exceptionally silly folks like Satan worshipers. We would do well to recall that even people like Hitler and Stalin claimed to be acting for some greater good--and probably believed it.)\nForgive me if this has been mentioned before--I didn't thoroughly read every comment--but one reason why I found TDK and the ferry scene in particular so valuable is that it challenged a lot of the reigning cliches of what you might call the \"national security mindset\".\nIn particular, I thought it did a decent job of deconstructing the \"ticking timebomb\" scenario, an oft invoked justification these days for torture. (Now, it might have done this better if, for example, the civilians had ended up blowing themselves up--but that would have made for a more gruesome movie. Alternatively, it might have had characters on one or both of the boats challenge the truth of the Joker's claims, but this would have changed the situation substantially, possibly detrimentally affecting the dramatic tension.)\nThe Joker repeatedly lies--this is how he got the people on the ferries in the first place (I am almost certain that he did not actually rig bridges and tunnels to explode because: 1) doing so would be a lot of unnecessary effort and cost; and, more crucially I think, 2) if he did, and they were found, the threat would have been defused along with the bombs--while not planting them means the threat would remain, since proving a negative in that fashion is impossible: the Iraq WMD debacle is a reminder of this).\nIn any case, because of the Joker's lies (the Rachel/Dent matter is another important precedent, as has been mentioned), the very terms of the situation itself become questionable. And this is why this particular justification for torture (or whatever else it is used for) fails: the situation would never be as clear cut as it is either in a hypothetical scenario, or in the framing that a bomber might offer.\nLet me try to be clearer: the primary problems with \"ticking timebomb\" justifications for torture are epistemological. There's never enough information to justify suspending the rule of law and basic morality.\nTake the classic example: a member of a terrorist group has been captured after the group claims to have set up a nuclear weapon to explode in a relatively short amount of time. In this case, at least the following is uncertain: 1) that the group actually did what it claims to; 2) that this particular prisoner knows the relevant information (location of the bomb, the means to defuse it, or whatever); 3) that only torture, and no other methods, would actually get the prisoner to provide true information--this last is especially doubtful if it's just a matter of running out the clock.\nThe problem with such scenarios is that they are emotionally laden. I could easily imagine someone responding to the above by saying: \"What, so you're just going to let people die and do nothing?\" Ask me again when the situation comes up. However, most cases in which the use of torture is considered are not nearly so high stakes.\nWe have a kind of bait and switch going on. Just because you can concoct a scenario in which torture might seem justifiable once does not entail that its regular use is acceptable. In fact, I would go so far as to say that we should punish torturers even if that torture successfully accomplishes its purported ends. I highly doubt this happens often, but I think this is the price we must pay as a society to be ruled by laws and not men. If an interrogator thinks the threat is so extraordinary that it justifies torture, then he should be willing to pay the small price of serving a prison sentence. Such a standard would ensure that torture and other suspensions of law are not occurring frivolously.\n(Whoa, I could've turned this into an entry on my own blog! Sorry about the length, but I hope anyone stalwart enough to read through this finds it helpful.)\nErik,\nYou're right about the logically correct decision if the rules were actually set - but only if you assume maximum survival is the only value. Whether or not it's better to kill others to reduce the total number of casualties or to avoid actually murdering knowing that this means that you along with those same people will die is a moral question that logic alone can't answer. And fortunately, due to the fact that we can't know the future (i.e. we can't know for sure that the rules are set), it's not a dilemna we ever have to deal with in real life.\nThinking about the situation after watching the movie, I realized that it's unlikely that the Joker would keep to his described rules: he is the embodiment of chaos, after all. It is likely that the detonators would do something else than described in his rules, such as actually blow up their own ship (I think this isn't as likely because it punishes the aggressor group which seems almost too sensical of a twist for the joker), blow up both ships (this is the way I like to think the detonators were rigged), or something else completely random (A \"Boom\" flag and a rain of confetti? Blow up another random building?).\nTwo points that no one seems to have made so far:\n1. Why hasn't anyone pointed out that the blow-up-the-other-ship is an example of the classic Prisoner's Dilemma. There is a significant amount of published works, both literary and scientific, on this phenomenon. We don't have to reinvent the wheel -- these published works can help improve our reasoning and judgement.\n2. Why doesn't anyone consider trying to disarm the bomb, or at least the radio detonators? Any explosives expert will tell you that remote detonation via radio is VERY risky, both in terms of premature detonation from stray radio signals as well as detonation failure (duds).\nObvious objection to point 2: Most civilians in stressful situations are not equipped, either emotionally or technically, to even go near a bomb or detonator, much less trying to disarm one.\nTrue. But I would expect that among the crew members, as well as the passengers, to have a mobile phone or walkie talkie or other means of communication to experts on land who could potentially walk them through the process.\nYou would need coolheaded people to do this, with at least some technical competence. Of course, there would be no assurance of success, and the stakes are obviously high.\nNonetheless, if I were on either of those boats, whether as a civilian or prisoner, my preferred approach would be to:\n(a) evaluate the risks, and\n(b) communicate with the outside world to improve my knowledge (and therefore my odds) as much as possible, and\n(c) then take steps to disarm the bomb or at least the radio detonator.\nIn my view, it's much better to take direct action to neutralize a threat, than to spend your time agonizing over moral choices or trying to guess what another party might or might not do.\nI too was intrigued by this scene in the movie. I was happy to see an ethical dilemma with some depth to it in such a huge box office smash. I think the situation in the movie is a great example and thinker, but I want to focus on the outcome.\nBoth boats choose not to set off the detonator, and they don't blow up. Later on, Batman says something to the Joker about how not everyone is willing to buy into his chaos. This is a whole 'nother can of worms, philosophically speaking. This shows just how much we buy into the ideas of modernity. We truly believe in a general optimism. The idea that mankind is somehow genuinely good.\nI believe that humanity is depraved and that there is something deeply wrong with us so I can't really buy the outcome in the movie, but it does give an interesting example of modernity's sway on our thinking of human nature. Just a thought.\nThanks for the great post!\nI would be prepared to die, as I am a believer that every life has a value....even if that value and purpose is to serve as a warning to others.\nThe criminals on board the other vessel were guilty o various crimes, some that harmed others, and some (like drug use) that harmed nobody, physically, except themselves. As the original post for discussion stated, some greater, and some lesser crimes.\nEveryone has the potential to be a hero. The true hero is willing, when called to do so, to lay their (* his or her) life down in sacrifice for the preservation of others.\nIf the chance presents itself, there in an animated \"bridge\", so to speak, between Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight. It is called Batman: Gotham Knight.\nBruce Wayne, in one portion, makes a comment to Lucious Fox, with respect to not only taking the life of a criminal, but taking anyone's life. He states \"I'm willing to sacrifice my life for what I believe, but it has to me my life, only\".\nBut, that also holds a bit of contradiction to his actions at the end of Batman Begins, also. When the train was cascading across the destroyed tracks toward sure destruction, Batman had physically defeated Ra's Al Ghul. Knowing the danger that he posed to uncounted masses, due to his ideologies, should he survive the encounter, Batman made the following comment: \"I'm not going to kill you, but, I don't have to save you, either\".\nHe then glided to safety by using the memorycloth cape stressed to act as a faux glider.\nSo, by choosing not to save Ra's Al Ghul, when the capability and time were there, was Batman actually a hero, or a villain? He was not willing to take Ra's Al Ghul's life himself, but he was willing to let him die by making no effort to save him.\nI'm watching this movie now, and I just love your analysis. I was looking to see if an experiment similar to The Joker's had ever been done in real life, like the one that tested if people would torture others (with an electric shock, I think) if ordered to by an authority figure..\nI am a college student, and I am doing a paper for my Philosophy class(more specifically ethics)in which the prompt was to pick a situation that had a moral dilemma. This scenario came to mind as the perfect example. We, then, were to apply Jeremy Bentham's Moral Calculus to the situation in order to conclude whether or not the decision is morally acceptable. I noticed that many of your points were very similar to mine..right on! Your Level Three reasoning is on point. Immanuel Kant said that \"the highest purposes of each individual are presumably self- preservation and the attainment of happiness\" which is essentially the same thing you said. By you voting no, but knowing the majority would vote yes, you would be morally wrong. Kant says \"Actions are not truly moral if they only appear to conform to moral law but lack moral motivation.\" This post probably wasn't necessary, but I liked everything you said. Cheers!\nNow the real question would be, if the Joker was really telling the truth about the detonators and their targets. Knowing the Joker he could have just as easily rigged the detonators to destroy their own boats. I do like your analysis though"}

{"text": ". I even payed for the first two months ahead and was promised that this would apply to the first two months of the ad, Jan and Feb (the harder months for a painter).\nWell here is where it gets interesting, first of all I was promised to receive a proof within two weeks, and we even gave them an example that we wanted to be replicated. It took almost four with me constantly checking in and bugging them. Finally getting the proof, it was not at all like I wanted, Instead of the American Flag as background it was white, and the general design made my ad look more like a quilt... on top of all this, the phone numbers were wrong, the info was missing and the title of the company was wrong too...\nOf course at this point I didn't think too much of it, just felt like the company didn't put much effort into it at all. After I sent the proof off the next day I would not receive another proof again. Time passed and I was excited to see my ad, until I finally received a copy of the yellow pages... NONE of the changes were made, not one except the phone numbers! I was very upset, and gave them a call about the ad.\nThey in turn said they will give me a call back never did. Then a bill came (keep in mind i pre paid for the first two months) and it said that I owed 450, I called them and told them i pre paid and the answer they gave me was that they applied it toward the last two months of the cycle. I argued that I paid for the first two and they agreed to fix it within a few days, then a second bill came for twice the amount and i called again and from here they just refuse to fix the problem saying that they will not and there is nothing we can do about it.\nI am upset, disappointed, and in a bad position since i did not plan to pay for the first two months... I live in Washington and it rains at least 8-9 months out of the year, so you mainly paint june july and August. because of this you don't have much money to spend on this kind of stuff, which is why i paid ahead of time.\nThey are now saying that they can put me on collection... I don't know what to do.\nThe complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.\nHey... please like us on facebook! look up yellowbook scam\nwe are on\nlets stop this terrible company!\nWe own a small computer company in Texas.\nI am a graphic artist.\nA yellowbook rep. came out and sold us an ad (February 2011). He made a quick sketch on his laptop . . . it was supposed to just be a sketch.\nI told him I'd re-design it and so I did. I sent him the artwork and he confirmed and supposedly gave it to yellowbook's art department.\nA couple months later the book came out. I couldn't believe it, they put in his sketch instead of my design.\nWe were so pissed.\nAfter a lot of complaining and back and forth, we stopped paying. Then we had 1 year of collection company calls, Clovis & Roche.\nVery rude and stupid people. The last we heard was in January 2012 that we would be sued.\nAnd then today a weird call from yellowbook, that woman had such a bad accent I do not know what she said. The caller ID said unavailable, so I called the number back and sure enough it was yellowbook.\nSo, now, after reading all the yellowbook complaints, I wondering what's going to happen.\nWe also went to a lawyer and she said we may have a case . . . but we no longer have the money for a lawyer, thanks to yellowbook our business has gone down the drain, since the book came out we got 1 stinking call.\nThis is ridiculous. Yellowbook has screwed my husband and I royally. We called in October of 2011 to have them stop automatic payments because we NEVER signed up for them. They insisted we did but said that auto-payment was canceled and we would just get our bill in the mail. After months of us outsmarting them by not keeping money in our accounts, we had to put money in there to pay a bill. Not even 1 hour after the money is deposited they have taken out their payment. We called our bank and learned that there hasnt even been an attempt to withdraw until the money was in the account. What that means is Yellowbook has been monitoring our PERSONAL bank account and waiting until we had money to take out the payment. We called back and talked to Yellowbook and miraculously they cant find the conversation we had in October with them saying that it was cancelled. On top of that the Collection agent named AKIL was extremely rude calling us idiots and incompetent for not understanding that it wasnt cancelled yet. After insulting our intelligence he gave me a number to call to speak with customer service. I called them and they told me that because we were rude to there agent that they could not help me and promptly hung up. DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH YELLOWBOOK THEY ARE TERRIBLE!\nMy complaint with YELLOWBOOK is severe. They have destroyed my business. I finally decided to enter into the \"website world\" after nearly 20 years in business. I started last year with a 5 page contract, I worked for days exactly on the look that I wanted and sent it to my \"website contact\" with YellowBook. This was after placing over $400 deposit for the year. Into the second month of going back and forth I finally spoke to an honest YellowBook employee out of the East Coast who admitted that what I wanted could not be done due to the limitations of the software YellowBook used to create web pages. What he submitted as their design was unacceptable and I declined the web site part of the contract. I was supposed to be credited but I am still trying to resolve that.\nI am a designer and have been successful in my community for many years. But the market is changing and after being convinced by my sales rep I agreed to create a website. Since YellowBook could not create what I needed and what was submitted was just awful and would hurt my business we aborted putting up the 5 page website. Around comes this years advertising and once again my long time sales rep convinces me to try again with a single information page web site and then when my webisite now being designed was completed we could have a link.\nSo we proceeded on this years ad contract, since I know the internet is where it is at and I am very late getting a webiste presence. Well I never receive any information, contact by phone or email from the website design dept at YellowBook as promised by my sales rep. only the approval of the print ad. I am fighting the worst economy ever as we all are and not thinking about chasing down the YellowBook design people to see my website design. The result I only find out what was created, whent the sales rep comes around for this coming year's ad contract . They produced without my approval or review, what is more than HORRENDOUSLY DESIGNED page. And I am just learning now was up for 6 months. It was so bad that my sales rep is afraid to show it to me until the end of our meeting. Being a designer the only comparison I can seriously make is that this page was so horrible that if I was a plastic surgeon it would be like a photo of a client with a crooked nose and a gash across their cheek as the photo to advertise the business. It took more than three weeks to get this \"negative advertising weapon\" taken down by YellowBooks technical department and then with promises of follow up to get a new page produced, no one contacted me. At this point I decided it was not my job to chase these people down, they were paid for a service and did not follow through once again. Now here comes the sales rep for this years ads and the phone calls start coming that I owe YellowBook more money. But no one calls to remedy what I am supposed to be paying for to get a web page up, which once again their technical dept promised.\nSo I took all my payments made for this year, which fortunately where made on my credit card, and put them into dispute. NOW everyone is contacting me including someone from RESOLUTIONS DEPT and an insulting offer to deduct $296. from my account, instead of agreeing to the disputed amount of payments of $323.96 ; no acknowledgement of the damage they caused my business and not even to agree to put the account on hold for 3 months, which I requested while I recover from this disaster, the HORRENDOUS WEB page it turns out was up for 6 months. I refuse to accept this treatment, and after reading all these complaints and the damage they caused I am going to see exactly what is involved in a CLASS ACTION SUIT. Because come on people, look at all the business this company has hurt, not lived up to their contract or their advertising and in my case actually caused damage.\nThey think they are too big well that is not the right attitude to take because if everyone groups together, they can be hurt and seriously.\nanyone who has a similar situation to mine please contact\nThe service I was promised never happened. I fought with them to cancel my contract with no results. I cost me $700.00 for 4 - that's right four phone calls that did not result in new business. Beware of Yellowbook!\nYou would spend your money better paying someone to stand on a corner with your sign.\nthey are horrible! They suck! The marketing department needs huge help and the customers service providers. I bet the go bankrupt!\nCORRECTIONS TO MY POSTING ABOVE IN ORDER- > WENT TO A GAS STATION 10 MILES AWAY TO ASK FOR THE NEW BOOK, CAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN GET ONE... AND THEN ADDED THEIR OWN FONT ... HUGE... BECAUSE*... sorry when you type in anger & on an old computer, mispelling happens.\n(( David P. 5/23/2011 510 SLB Roseto, PA)).. This years 2011 book came out. 2 months prior I ordered two dollar bill size adds with 6 websites with the deal. It Came to $820 down, $410 a month. Here I am thinking im going to recieve amazing service ( WRONG !) Never got a phone call for my proof, or to be worked with for exact print appearence for 2 months straight. ((Never got a hard proof in the mail)) which they assured me i would. Never got the book delievered to me. ((Never got my 6 page websites)) with my offer which was paid up front. ((Cannot)) find myself or my 6 webpages anywhere online, even on there website ! Had to go ask a gas station 10 miles away if i can have thiers ! Should i have to have done that ? NO ! I get the book only to find out they shifted my add out of place in the book, photo & pdf file. And the added their own font and wording to my add. I got pipe dreams with no promises & nothing in return regarding the way i wanted things to be.. For prime example, My ad was supposed to be printed showing my services were only ($99 per job) to save people money & so people would call me right away.. ( It was a perfect approach & plan given the fact no one else listed this way. 7 days before print date, i had to call them & they tell me your proof hasn't even been worked on yet ! In furious rage, I send them my pdf file again, , , they tell me you have to add the words ( ask about ) next to your $99 & i was told i must list this way with no other choice ! I immediately wanted to cancel, they said you cannot. Thanks should've called me earlier when you sent me no proof and i would've jerk offs. So i send them back my PDF with the smallest ( ask about possible ) so it wouldn't hurt my add none, cause i already was furious @ this point with the whole idea. (( Without my consent )) they disregarded my font & added thier own h0ge font\n(ASK ABOUT) right next to my $99 price. ! Well with 2 small dollar bill size ads, compared to 10 full page adds before me, I have to somehow beat my full page add competitors. So displaying my price was the perfect idea, cause no one else had thiers listed. Now think about it, if it says (ask about) (when it really IS $99) It causes heads to turn away becuase im the only one that knows now you dont have to ask about anything, therefore now i'm completely washed up. The vision, plan & dream is crushed ! Thank you yellowbook for all your quality service & everything i didnt want for my money ! Through out the whole entire process of expecting beauty to come from this - I never even got a phone call... I had to call them & I got hell, rather then heaven with an idea & ad they decided to give me, versus staying in touch with me to give me exactly what i wanted ! Yellowbook gave me a Mis-print, no customer care or service, no calls to my phone not once from them regarding my add, no book @ my door step, no websites, no nothing ! All recorded & documented.. My lawyer said if they try to send you a bill I will be in court so fast they'll be sorry they sent it.. Yellowbook pipe dreams loosers !\nIf everyone sat back and thought about it, the world is made up of the rich, screwing over the poor that are unable to defend themselves..You live your life hoping that the next person you deal with wont screw you over as bad as the last one did..A few months ago in Indiana we had a Blizzard Warning, outside of Krogers a guy was trying to sell gallons of milk for 6 bucks since the store was sold out..This is the old US ofA for ya.you know what, I think Iwill just sit on my [censor], , run up my credit cards, then wait for about one year and settle for 75% less then what I charged...Have the rich get it from the taxes..[censor]ing world is a joke.The funny thing is, , I can do it, , my wife has a 735 credit rating, , I dont need mine..ruin my credit yellowbook.I will still beable to get a new car with a 2.99/3.99 intrest rate..Yellowbook has a better chance of my son growing another arm then getting the money they ripped me off of..Come get your money..Kinda hard to garnish someone that owns his own company..I will just have them pay cash or make the checks payable to my wife...lol...F with me...I love it!\nI have had the WORST customer service from Yellow Book. We requested proof of our ads to verify its satisfaction and they never gave me proofs until after it was too late to make any changes. Not only were the pictures they chose the exact opposite of what we ask for, we never got to turn in our Co-op. C0-op would have paid for half the ads! We were told that yellow book doesnt have to show us proofs. BS! Im not paying for something I did not approve. Yellow book did attempt to settle with a discount, but it was hardly a discount to me. I was not asked if I agreed to the discount. I was forc fed it. I am being told I am being reported to the collections now. Im not scared of YELLOW BOOK. BRING IT! I'm not paying you a damn dime. HORRIBLE SERVICE!\nCan we start a class action lawsuit against yellow book. I cancelled my ad with the rep, called in to the Prussia office and sent a letter, which they say they never got. Each way I tried to cancel they tell me its not the way to cancel, if I call, you need to do it in writing, in writing they tell you you have to cancel with the rep, I cancel with the rep and they say you have to send a fax to PRussia, they keep you on a vicious cycle till the deadline of cancelling passes and then tell you you didnt cancel by the deadline. I have been paying them thousands of needless dollars just to keep the collectors off my back and now they are threatening to take me to court. They have destroyed our businesses credit and I dont know what to do. Any suggestions?\nThanks\nRandi Tieken\nWindow Magic [email protected]\nIn 1982 a gentleman in Piqua Ohio started a Champaign County Ohio telephone directory it was called AMTEL Directory after his company name Area Marketing Telephone Directories. In 1994 I bought certain assets of his company including the rights to the name AMTEL. After a business partnership that went 'south', 'my' former company was sold to yellow book. I had sold my company to an invester who was to sell me the company back within 5 years but the investor was in breach of contract..I won the law suit but he kept the 'worthless' company. When I sold to my invester he asked for the right to USE the name but he sold yellowbook the exclusive rights...someone didnt do their due dilegence! my 1994 contracts, which yellow book have in their posession show that my comapny American Telephone AND I PERSONALLY OWN THE RIGHTS...YELLOWBOOK has THE RIGHT TO USE THE NAME BUT SO do i..SO THE COURTS WILL deside...yellowbook HAS SUED MY FOR STARTING A competitive book in the market using the AMTEL name. The public and business owners LOVE us and most HATE yellowbook for many of the reasons listed above!\nThank You Everyone this has helped me make up my mind . I will not be doing business with them. I was undecided and you all helped me to see. Thank you all\nElise Keiser\nBest In Repts\nIn October of 2009, I opened a small business and placed a print ad in a local ad booklet. My first call as a result was from Tara Lewin, a Yellowbook.com salesperson in Iowa. She gave me a long sales pitch about how great Yellowbook.com ads perform, and that it would be a great boost to my business. Before I said yes, I asked her how many calls I would be able to expect, she told me 20-30 a month was not uncommon. I figured if I got maybe five calls a month, or even one or two, it would pay for itself, so I gave it a try.\nI had never seen a Yellowbook.com ad, but she made it sound so good that I went ahead. What I got was a plain white page with a few sentences, and a crappy stock photo that did not represent me at all. I knew I had been taken, I just knew it. One month into the ad I complained to a company representative, and he promised me that if I gave it time, I would see great results. I still have that email, where he promises that I was not wasting my money. The result was a great big nothing!\nTo make a long story short, an entire year passed with not one single call or email. I refused to pay for the ad because they would not make any attempt to satisfy me, I was told I have to pay no matter what because I had a one year contract. Now I have their collection agency harassing me every day. I want everyone to know what a sleazy company Yellowbook is. Don't waste your money! All they care about is taking your money! No customer service at all. Nasty, on the phone, they ignore letters and emails unless there is money attached to it.\nI ask every single person who calls me, how did you find me? In a full year, not one single person responded \"Yellowbook.com\".\nA few months into this, I was getting worried about them trashing my credit rating, I called and tried to offer them what I owed up to that point, and have them cancel the ad. The woman on the other end sounded like that would be OK, but then supposedly asked a manager, who refused. I was told I have to pay no matter what. The response from the rep was \"WE CAN'T MAKE PEOPLE CALL YOU.\"\nMy reaction was if this is the way you treat your customer then I am just going to have to refuse to pay for this garbage. I am no deadbeat, but there's no way I'm paying for this worthless product no matter what they try to do to me. Yellowbook.com is a sleazy, deceptive, company. Stay away!\nAlso, regarding my dispute with Yellow book, the\" customer service\" rep. told me yesterday, I know the person that spoke to you and he would never promise that we would cancel your internet ad and you would owe nothing. I asked him if they recorded conversations, because that was EXACTLY what I was promised, or I wouldn't have paid them anything, because, as I said, I never proofread an ad, and I don't believe that I ever signed a contract. I believe that my signature was forged from an earlier contract. The year before, they actually left me completely out of the directory, and I still had to pay the full amount. This is the most dishonest company I have ever dealt with in my life. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN.\n\"Ditto\" to just about all of the above complaints. I have never dealt with a business so dishonest in their dealings in my entire life. They are incompetent, lying, low-lifes who deliberately mislead customers, intentionally lie to them, and, I bleieve, engage in criminal acts such as forging signatures on contracts. I signed a contract at one time a few years ago, and I don't recall signing an agreement to advertise with them for this year's directory or internet. I never got a \"proof\" of my ad listings, and was not told that they were reducing the size of the book by at least 1/3, eliminating residential listings, etc. which I believe makes their book an inferior product compared to past editions, and more likely to be thrown away. I was told that they were not required to disclose that the book was going to be smaller, or that residential listings would no longer be included in the book. I believe that my signature was forged on the contract, using an old contract as a sample to copy. On the site \"[redacted]\", several customers stated that their signatures were forged on contracts. I made a payment about 60 days ago, before I ever received any books delivered, and agreed to a settlement with the \"customer service\" rep that I was paying in full for the print ad for the entire year, and that I could cancel the internet ad immediately and would owe nothing. Since that time, I've received several \"late payment notices\" and assumed that they had just not posted my payment yet. I received a new letter from the \"collection department\", opened it, and noticed that they were threatening turning me over to a collection agency. I called to straighten the problem out, and was told that they applied my payment, which was for the exact amount due for the book ads, to my \"internet account\" because it was set up on a different billing start cycle than the book. I was told that the rep had no authority to settle the account in full and cancel the internet ad, and I would have to pay for it despite what he had told me. They offered to \"give me a deal\" and knock off about $6 in late charges if I wanted to pay them another $600. I told them to forget it and send the payment back and I would see them in court if that's what they wanted to do, because I was promised that my check was for payment in full and I WOULD OWE NOTHING. I think we all need to contact not only our state attorney general, but also the US attorney's office and have the US attorney pursue these CROOKS. Also, the quality of the printing in the directory is extremely poor, it looks like they were running out of ink for much of the directory. It is much harder to read, the catagories are hard to find and don't make a lot of sense in many cases. [email protected]\nI am wondering if they are actually doing something considered ILLEGAL. The reason I ask is I just noticed that I can get the recording of all the calls that come through the \"special no.\" which trust me non of them are customers just a few people looking for work or asking for free advise... But my concern is we always ask our customers for a deposit on a CC to hold a reservation. I am concerned that the customers CC no. can fall into the wrong hands since these people are not very trust worthy. I was not even aware they would be recorded and I will never know which calls come from that no. as they all get forwarded to my reg. phone so does that mean I have to warn all my customers they might be recorded and then how do I get the deposit which we have done for years... I hate these people and their ads are worthless. PS they also charged me double for 2 months and they said they would credit back to my credit card but when I called back and asked why the credits were not put back they said oh we changed our minds we just credited to you YB account so you are paid up for the next 4 months. HOW do they get to choose what to do with MY F____ money!\nNow how can the courts get away with allowing them\"the yellowbook\" to keep doing this to people?mine started out about the same way, , They had me sign a contract and told me that they would get together with me to go through pictures of mine to be placed on the yellow book web site, , they never contacted me even though over&over again I tried to contact them, , .. not only did my website never get put on...But most of all, , , the part in the yellowbook itself that I payed the most for had someone elses landscape pictures in...not mine...I did the same thing, , I called again&again&again...no calls back...I stopped the withdraw from my account..then when I did here from a Henry from the yellow book I was told by him that the women who I signed with no longer worked for the company...everytime from that point on that i would received a bill I would call them telling them that I wanted them to cancel it, , , why couldnt they, , they placed my ad in the yellowbook under a phone# that would dial through to my phone even though it wasnt the # I had..They each time explained to me that I signed a contract, , , even though they didnt hold up to ther end of it...I told them fine, , , I just wont pay because from the month the book came out tothe present I called them trying to cancel...this went on for 8 months and now they sent me to collections threatening me that will put holds on my properties, vehicles, , bank accounts ect...When I called collections he said these words, , , In the contract it shows that you needed to send a written letter to yellow book explaining why...and that the yellow book wasnt there to quote- hold my hands...Even though I called every month for 8 months to make them cancel, , , , that tells me that they train people to lie or not be honest over & over again just to collect off of people...This is the exact reason the world is the way it is today... rich getting over on the poor in anyway they can...Then the courts backing them...same with the BBB that gets payed big money from these company's to back them...What a joke the world has turned out to be...Eric apt [protected]\nI took out an add that got no response. I was also conned into getting upsold to print which I did not really want and was told by yellerbook that my consultant no longer works there. Well if they treat their sales people like they do customers it no wonder. I worked out a payment plan with them and now that isn't good enough. I cancelled my internet account and am stuck with paying for print. Yellerbook is a dirty company. I AM BEING THREATENED WITH COLLECTIONS AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!\nIf any body would like to form an alliance to fight I would be interested in doing just that. Americans are having enough problems without crooks hiding behind a contract that is riddled with lies and deception.\nSigned a contract with Shaun Lowy an Account Representative with Yellow Book who is out of the Skillman, NJ office. I was going to place another (2nd year) add in the Hunterdon County, NJ are Yellow Book. I explained to Shaun Lowy that, “I don’t know if I’m going to advertise due to the economy!” He explained not a problem, “you can cancel anytime”. After talking it over with my fiancé, I had thought to skip this year and put the money into my web site. Mid August I had called Shaun Lowy. I received his voice mail and left a message, “not to run the add!” I had not heard back from him…which I thought was not good business, and at least to try to sell me a smaller add! In addition, I emailed him the same request not to run the add! Not hearing from him again…I called and left another voice mail!\nSure enough I got a bill for $1, 113 dollars. I had ignored the art work revision contracts sent to me, because I thought my account representative would show good ethics and business practice by requesting my verbal and written request. Accounting has told me I have to pay and would suffer the consequences of late fees, lawyer charges and 25% interest if I ignore the bill! Accounting also told me if I produce the email sent to Shaun he would handle the bill. Currently, I have filed a complaint with the BBB.org and the FTC.org and the Attorney Generals office of my state.\nOn 2/30/20010 I spoke to Supervisor Jay Freid, from the Skillman office and he explained a contract is a contract and that he spoken to Shaun. No surprise he said, if I recover the email he will reconsider…but at this time there is nothing he can do.\nI’m never ever going to advertise with the Yellow Book again! The book has gotten smaller and smaller. My prediction is that in a few years Shaun and Jay will not have Jobs! The yellow book doesn’t even list residential phone numbers any more…isn’t that telling you something. One of my customers in Tewksbury, NJ didn’t even take the book out of the bag, she just through it in her paper recycling! It’s called changing with the times. I am very disappointed that my requests with Shaun Lowy not to run the advertisement were ignored. Now I will ignore Yellow Book AND NEVER AGAIN DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! BAD SERVICE!\nMy situation sounds similar... in summary, I was told I could cancel my account before the print ads went out. Unfortunately, I didn't get that in writing... only verbal. I followed the steps the representative said I need to do, only to find out they printed it again and charged me >$2000. When I asked them about this, they said I only wanted to cancel their internet account. When I asked for the recording of the conversation (which they said they had), they stopped responding to my e-mails and did not return my calls. I hired a lawyer and she eventually ran into the same roadblocks. She was able to obtain the contract (which I didn't have) and on the back it says you have only 7 days to cancel the print ads. I question if they didn't doctor this up, but not much I could do.\nSo now I'm just trying to pay the balance and in return get a letter from them stating the account is closed ... for good. I've been trying for over a month now... no response from multiple attempts and methods. I'd love to fight this, but who has time and the money.\nI had a situation almost identical to one already mentioned. After cancelling my contract because I was told if I did not I would continue to be charged, I was still charged the same amount per month. I was told this was for the internet ad, and I had cancelled the print ad only.\nI did not realize at first the I had been paying for over a year, since I did not imagine they would just keep charging me especially after I signed a cancellation, and I was letting Yellowbook automatically bill my credit card. They refused to give me back my money I paid for the three months beyond when my ad appeared in the book.\nThe only reason they give is that I signed a contract. I complained to the better business bureau but they were not able to really do anything.\nConsumer Alert!

I paid my account for the year then when the rep. came around I signed a cancellation form. Well guess WHAT...that supposedly doesn't include the internet listing! IT SAYS RIGHT ON IT INTERNET PLACEMENT! So then I have to fax over the page I signed because for some \"unknown\" reason they didn't have a copy of that! I told them I did not owe them for something I had cancelled and didn't hear anything back. They sent another bill and nasty collection letter. SO I sent them two months late fees $4.00 each and told them I may owe that but that was my final payment...I wrote final payment on the check, also. They called and left a message saying that I owed a lot more than that and they would not be cashing my check. Now a lady from accounting called today and told me I owed 5 months internet service. I explained that I cancelled and she again said that the cancellation was not for the internet service and asked if I had read the back of the contract! THIS COMPANY IS ###! I would like to go around town...find all the Yellow Books I could and send them back to them! I am going to write on every compaint board I can find about them and so far that hasn't been hard!\nI signed with yellow book paide for two monts was told That I could cancle any time by the sale person Steve. . Tried to call him back with in two weeks that Adv was wrong and did not list what I did. NO response. And no calls to the business. I sent a letter with in 30 days and cancled the account because they had the wrong information in the adv. Have sent them copyies of the cancelation. This Drags On From Last Noveember 08. Numerious call about the bill. Me stateing the incorrect ADv. and No calls. Received a call yesterday Oct 1 Stating that I could not cancle until December of this year and I stated that I am NOt going to pay them\"We'll get you dont' worry\".\nEnough from these people. I have never received a call from any customer.\nIn my twenty five years of advertising i have NEVER come across such a corrupt Company! They dont even try and hide it because they know that fighting it will cost you time and money. They are the lowest kind of ### you can come across ! Stay Clear of YELLOW BOOK no matter what they offer ... No matter what they Promise... No matter the great deal ... Tell them No Thank you and walk away you will thank me for it! ( No matter what the deal is they will screw you and WILL NOT STOP till you take them to court ) and that will cost you lots of time and money! they figure their book is worthless for advertising so you will not sign up again next year so they will take you for all they can, and get new suckers for the year after!\nDO NOTHING TILL YOU READ BELOW !\nTo whom it may concern,\nI was approached by a Nancy Krugjohann by phone call regarding advertising with Yellowbook around 6-1-08, she had gotten my info off a Clipper magazine advertising add.\nShe told me a little about herself and what she did trying to sell me advertising on her phonebook I told her that I had not touched a phonebook in five years so was not interested at that point.\nShe then told me about a package deal that she had with online services that she could bundle up so I told that I could not meet with her then but maybe next week.\nAfter persistent phone calls we set up a meeting at a restaurant so she could show me her products, at that point I came in and found that she was there along with who she said was her manager, and they both started to push the online yellowbook ads and said they could give a great deal on a package, to which I said again I don’t use the phonebook and I think it is on the way out. but if they gave me a great deal I might consider it, since I was getting good response from the magazines every month for only $400 a month and I said good by.\nThe following few days I got a phone call once sometimes twice a day from Nancy and even a few from her manager to the point were I would have to mute my phone during appointments with my customers.\nThen it happened, my son who I had gotten custody of from two years had gotten sick, and I had been lucky enough to never had gone through that before . He had gotten a terrible strain of the Flu that was going around that had left him weak from days of constant throwing up and had not been able to retain water.\nThat lead to Dehydration to the point of unconsciousness,\nNeedless to say we had ended up in emergency room under care at Banner The dehydration go so severe that they thought there were other complications of some sort.\nDuring that time and days prior the calls were constant none stop I was not even answering my phone .\nThen on the day that they had stopped the vomiting and had attached him to liquid through Iv he was finally resting when I started getting the phone calls again so I answered,\nit was Nancy again telling me that it was the last day to sign up.\nI told her about my situation and that I was in the hospital with my son and would not be able to meet with her since I am a single parent !\nWith out skipping a beat she insisted that she go to the hospital to meet with me because it was the very last day to help me with the advertising and that is why she had to meet with me today, so I told her that I was tired after a few days of no sleep and could not do it,\nShe said it would only take five minutes so she can get my authorization to get the paperwork started to it could go to print then we could meet to arrange the details.\nSo she shows up again at the hospital and I go down to the waiting area to see her and her manager again, they both were very polite and stated that they were sorry for the circumstance and for my son but that this would get me in then I could meet with them and the add designer to do the campaign pictures information etc.\nI was hesitant about signing the paper work and they said \" not to worry they would take care of me \" but that they would have to charge me $40.00 dollars for the person to meet with me to put together the adds?\nI once again straight forward asked them NOT to print anything with out us meeting and going over the designs. Once again they assured me that they would call me the next day to set up a time after my son was out of the hospital to for us to meet.\nWell this is were everything goes wrong! After being called nonstop for half the month the calls COMPLETELY STOPPED !\nNot a call the next day, or the day after that, or the rest of the week.\nOn the Monday following that I left a message for Nancy and no return, then again a few days later then I called her office and I was told that she was in the field a lot but that they would get her the message to return the call.\nI called her again ( NO ANSWER ) Then her Office ( She was not there again ) so I asked when she was usually in and the lady that I talked to said she could not give me that information? so I asked her to please let me speak to her manager she said HE was not there but she would give him the message to call me?\nTHE FOLLOWING MONDAY... I called again no call back and no Nancy at her office ? I asked the lady if she had been giving my messages to her and her manager and she said that she had, I asked her to pass me over to the manger above them SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT DO THAT ! that they would call me back at when They had a chance!\nAt that point I got pretty upset and asked her to please give me a phone number where I could talk to someone from corporate and she refused! We went on back and forth for a while and she finally said that there was nothing else she could do and hung up on me!\nI called Nancy back and told her TO CALL ME BACK ASAP ! THAT I WAS UPSET AND THAT I NEEDED TO TALK TO HER TODAY !\nNO CALL BACK!\nAfter about three more weeks and ridiculous games I called my creditcard company and canceled !\nGuess what the very next Monday Nancy calls !\nAnd she says HELLOOOO Mr. Martinez, how are you? Well what a coincidence that you call right after I cancelled my creditcard ? I am not doing so well thanks to you!\nShe asks Why? So I told her well because you swore up and down along with your manager about how you were going to call me the next day for us to meet and this is the fist time you have talked to me or returned my calls! So I went on about how I left messages for her and she swore up and down that she had not received any, but I told her it did not matter you called me three times a day for twenty days straight and lied to me to get a signature and as soon as you did you disappeared!\nShe said OH NO Mr. Martinez I am going to get to the bottom of this and talk to my area manager about your situation and make sure you are taken care of! I will call you early in the am to let you know what we can do?\nthat was the last time I talked to her?\nThen I started getting bills from YellowBook... for over $4000 dollars? for months I thought that my add had not made it to print because we had never gotten together and I had never gotten a sales call?\nTill a friend of mine called me one day not to congratulate me for the add but to give me a hard time because he had seen the add and said ( \" you cant see what the add is?\" )\nHe dropped off the book so I could see it because I never got one !\nWhat those ### did was got the add from the Clipper were they had found me and shrunk it !\nand placed it in their book !\nI AM NOT JOKING ! THEY TOOK A HALF PAGE ADD FROM A MAGAZINE AND SHRUNK IT INTO A 6\" x 1-7/8\" INCH SPACE!\nSo here I am, after trying to talk Yellowbook they stated that it did not matter what happened or how it happened or if I was deliberately conned I would have to pay the amount they were asking for.\nFolks I really need your help in this situation because I know now after talking to more and more people that these people are prepared to pressure the business that they have conned by taking them to court . They have the financial capacity to spend time and money for attorneys and court.\nPlease contact me George Martinez at [protected] thank you very much\nI have worked for Yellow Book for five years now. Unfortunately, I have seen many unscrupulous employees come and go in that time frame. Yellow Book is a company that prides itself on its integrity. In regards the two month deposit, it should have been explained that the first bill is due about 60 days after distribution of the directory. My recommendation to anyone who is dissatisfied with service from their sales rep, (regardless of whatever company you are dealing with) is call and demand to talk to a manager. Yellow Book has been around for nearly 80 years. A company that treats its customers as shabbily as it accused of doing here would not last that long.\nYellow book is nothing but lies and deception. Please no one else fall for their lies. They say you can cancel after 2 months, except after 2 months they act like you don't know what you're talking about. I had 3 phone calls with them. I asked for recordings of all 3. I received call #2 and #3. It has now been about 45 days and I have not heard a single word about call #1. Guess which call I am told I can cancel after 2 months. Ridiculous that they can treat people this way.\nShut down yellow book practices. They as despicable.\nStay AWAY from yellow book ! They do not deliver what they promise. We have sold our old business and purchased a new one and after several call transfers, we are still receiving the same nonsense answers about closing an account for a business that NO LONGER exists. This is NOT a REPUTABLE organization. Complain to your BBB and theirs and also google consumer protection to complain to the authorities. Something will have to be done with enough complaints."}

{"text": "Alaa Wardi is at it again, this time funnier than ever!\nFriday, November 1, 2013\nMonday, October 7, 2013\nWe Need More Spooky\nBut,.”\nPosted by Zoe Ferraris at 11:02 PM 4 comments:\nSunday, October 6, 2013\nSong for Chance\nThe second of these is the remarkable Song for Chance by John Van Kirk, which garnered a New York Times review this week. It's the gritty tale of rock legend, Jack Voss, who shot to fame in the 70s for his rock opera, The Enchanted Pond. Inspired by a doomed love triangle, the rock opera ended with a triple suicide -- and even inspired fans to mimic the violence.\nDecades later, Voss's mellow life is shattered by the news of his daughter's death, which appears to be another Enchanted Pond suicide. How does an aging, self-absorbed rock star face the effects of his own tragic mistakes? With music, naturally (including liner notes, bonus tracks and a discography.) With incredible skill, Van Kirk brings you right into the center of the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll culture, but Voss's story is the most melodic bit of all: unsentimental, thought-provoking and raw.\nVan Kirk, an O. Henry Award and Iowa Review fiction prize winner, answers some questions about music, writing and being a navy man:\nFirst of all, can you describe the moment of conception for this book? When did it first appear in your mind (or your ear)? And how?\nYears ago I wrote a short short story about a pianist who is suddenly inspired with a new piece of music—the problem is that he is actually in the middle of a public performance of a concerto for piano and orchestra at the time of his inspiration. Does he keep performing and let the inspiration go, knowing that in all likelihood it won’t come back? Or does he risk professional disaster and abandon the sheet music before him, ruining the concert, baffling the other musicians and the conductor? That character is the forerunner of Jack Voss. (The story, called “Concert(o),” was published in 2011 by The Sonora Review and is available on their website.)\nThe second thing happened several years later when I was dipping into Ovid and challenged myself to come up with a myth of my own. I was thinking about love charms, and how they always go wrong—there’s a great John Collier story about that. Anyway I came up with a magical pond which would confer unending love on partners who bathed in it. And I asked myself how that could go wrong. That was the seed of Jack Voss’s rock opera “The Enchanted Pond.” The rest was writing the novel to see how things turned out.\n\"Song For Chance\" contains song titles and lyrics and even liner notes, and the book's attention to past and present music scenes creates such a vivid and authentic world. What real-life characters inspired the story and the creation of Jack Voss?\n\"Song For Chance\" contains song titles and lyrics and even liner notes, and the book's attention to past and present music scenes creates such a vivid and authentic world. What real-life characters inspired the story and the creation of Jack Voss?\nI always wondered why people who could make beautiful music together so frequently ended up in acrimonious feuds, mutual denunciations, ugly partings. Think of Lennon and McCartney, Roger Waters and David Gilmore, Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson. Not that any of my characters were based on those specific people, but the novel is my way of exploring that dynamic. As for the music itself, it’s the soundtrack of my generation.....?\nI’m an ex-Catholic, educated by nuns and priests through the 12th grade. That early training in the cycle of sin, atonement, and redemption sticks with you. As for loss, isn’t that the theme of all writing in some way? As Robert Haas puts it in his poem “Meditation at Lagunitas”: “All the new thinking is about loss. In this it resembles all the old thinking.”\nWhat music did you listen to while you were writing the book?\nI don’t usually listen to music while I’m writing—it interferes with the music of the prose. That said, I listened to a lot of music when I wasn’t actually writing, especially pop music from the 70s and 80s, some for enjoyment, some to make sure I remembered it accurately.\nCould you give us a playlist - something you think we should listen to while reading \"Song for Chance\"?\nCould you give us a playlist - something you think we should listen to while reading \"Song for Chance\"?\nThe book is full of titles, as you know. I’d probably start with something from Thelonious Monk—“Epistrophy” would be a good choice. Jack hears Monk on the second page of the novel. Next would be Bruce Springsteen’s “Drive All Night,” which Jack is trying to record in the second scene. After those two, I’d turn off the stereo and just read.\nDo you compose or play music yourself?\nDo you compose or play music yourself?\nI’d call myself an amateur musician. Which is more than I could say when I started the novel. At that time, I was just a listener. But I had to become at least a bit of a musician to write the book. I took piano and guitar lessons, and I started playing the harmonica again, which I had played a little in high school and college but hadn’t touched for more than 20 years. I still take a guitar lesson once a week, and the poet Art Stringer and I have worked up a few tunes together. I call it “home-made music,” and it’s a little rough around the edges, but we have a lot of fun.\nYou teach writing, and yet you started a career in the navy - how did you come to writing from that? Did the navy give you any good writing tools?\nYou teach writing, and yet you started a career in the navy - how did you come to writing from that? Did the navy give you any good writing tools?\nI was writing before I joined the navy, while I was in the navy, and after I left the navy. In a sense the navy period of my life was the detour. I imagined a career for myself as a writer/professor about halfway through college. I spent a year and a half as a graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis. One of my teachers was William Gass, and when I could I sat in on classes taught by Stanley Elkin and Howard Nemerov. It looked like a good life, teaching and writing. But I didn’t yet have the maturity to teach, the experience to write, or the discipline to get through the graduate program. The navy helped me in all those areas.\nA huge congratulations to John!

As for the adult, Melser said police will be checking recent tickets to see if the vehicle had been ticketed in the past.\nSome drivers who use the stretch of North Point Boulevard said they hate speed cameras but agreed that they work when it comes to slowing people down.\n?The camera has slowed them down, and I think it's a good thing,? said Sheryl Adams. ?I didn't even know somebody took it down. That's horrible.\"\nOthers think the people who did it will probably end up costing taxpayers more money and should be held accountable, Melser reported.\nThe teens were charged with destruction of property and theft, and they have been released."}

{"text": "My creative work includes painting with oil, acrylic, spray, and latex paints, drawing with chalk pastel, charcoal, graphite, and ink, and experimenting with digital art. My style is largely realistic, with influences from the illustrative, graphic, and abstract arts. To bring depth and movement, I utilize perspective, shadow, and clean lines. My work tends to be colorful and saturated; when I do use a limited palette, I rely on shadow, light, and high contrast to bring life to the forms present in the artwork. People, animals, and the natural world are major themes in my work. As a teen, I began participating in the local street painting festival, where I found immense enjoyment in creating my work publicly in large format. When I began my career as a professional artist, I progressed from painting streets to also painting walls. I find that creating the work publicly and allowing the audience to observe the process creates a stronger emotional connection between the viewer and the art. The viewer gains a greater understanding of what goes into creating a piece of art – including time and energy, as well as materials and equipment – as so often the viewer sees only the final product.\nArtist Jon Doe Photographer Jane Anderson"}
{"text": "2007 BMW 335i Coupe Automatic\nThat's rarefied acceleration territory, and combined with its other performance attributes such as perfect steering (this tester thankfully did not have the optional active steering), superstar brakes (70 to 0 in 156 feet), and unflappable grip on the road (0.91 g on the skidpad with very little plow), the $49,675 as-tested price (base price is $42,850) of this car suddenly seems to be at least digestible. That price includes the $1000 Sport package, which brings a one-inch wheel-and-tire upgrade (to 18 inches) and sport seats, but no suspension changes-no bad thing, since the 335i's standard suspension setup remains delightfully refined in spite of its uncanny ability to stay planted in corners.\nM3 Lite?\nAs for the rest of the car, well, you've read about most of it before. The four-place interior is comfortable for adults (even in back), the driver's seating position is flawless and easily adaptable for many physiques, and, as with all BMWs these days, ergonomics require mastery over time. Less-sung virtues include vast trunk space, fabulous outward vision, material quality that conveys luxury without pretense, and thoughtful touches like front-seatbelt presenters and center cubbies between the rear seats. Now more than ever, the 3 offers an overall sport-and-luxury balance that has earned it a 16-year residency on our annual 10Best list.\nAnd most of that praise also applies to the recently revealed, 414-hp V-8-powered 2008 M3 coupe. But the M3 is expected to start about $20,000 higher, with only a stick shift available (for now) and, thanks to a bunch more weight, only a half-second advantage to 60. Sure, the 335i's 7000-rpm max can't match the M3's 8400-rpm shriek, but for real-world thrill seekers who must balance their needs for performance with their need to live every day with the same car (and perhaps a more limited budget), choosing the 335i coupe over the M3 may be, well, automatic.\nRelated Content:\nOfficial Photos & Info: 2008 BMW 128i and 135i Coupes\nFirst Drive: 2008 Audi A5 and S5\n2007 BMW 335i Coupe Automatic\nVEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 4-passenger, 2-door coupe\nPRICE AS TESTED: $49,675 (base price: $42,850) automatic with manumatic shifting\nDIMENSIONS:\nWheelbase: 108.7 in Length: 180.6 in Width: 70.2 in Height: 54.1 in\nCurb weight: 3584 lb\nC/D TEST RESULTS:\nZero to 60 mph: 4.9 sec\nZero to 100 mph: 12.1 sec\nZero to 140 mph: 26.7 sec\nStreet start, 5-60 mph: 5.5 sec\nStanding ¼-mile: 13.4 sec @ 106 mph\nTop speed (governor limited): 145 mph\nBraking, 70-0 mph: 156 ft\nRoadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.91 g\nFUEL ECONOMY:\nEPA city/highway driving: 20/29 mpg\nC/D observed: 18 mpg\nRelated Content:\nOfficial Photos & Info: 2008 BMW 128i and 135i Coupes\nFirst Drive: 2008 Audi A5 and S5"}

{"text": "1. Important season for Frost, Cornhuskers\nIn July 2018, Scott Frost was fresh off an undefeated season at Central Florida, which led to him taking the coaching job atNebraska, the team he led to the national championship in 1997 as the Cornhuskers quarterback. Optimism ran high in Lincoln, with the Huskers getting the hottest commodity among available coaches.\nThree seasons and a 12-20 record later, the Frost Era hasn't produced the success the Nebraska fan base desires, but Frost believes he has the program pointed in the right direction.\n\"Without a doubt this is the most excited I've been about our team and the most confident,'' Frost said Thursday at Big Ten football media days.\nNebraska went 3-5 in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, and the 2021 season becomes more important for Frost. The man who hired him, Bill Moos, no longer is Nebraska's athletic director after retiring in June. He was replaced by Trev Alberts, a former Huskers All-America linebacker who was AD at Nebraska Omaha.\nThough Frost might face increasing pressure to win, he likes the fact that his new boss knows Nebraska football.\n\"I'm so glad we landed where we landed,'' Frost said. \"… I'm glad we've got a Nebraska guy in the building, somebody who understands all the great things about Nebraska and some of the challenges.''\n2. Bielema back in the Big Ten\nIt's been nine years since Bret Bielema left Wisconsin for Arkansas, and now the veteran coach is back in the Big Ten with Illinois. He still has strong memories from his last visit to Indianapolis as the Badgers coach.\n\"It kind of comes full circle for me to come back in here to Lucas Oil,'' he said. \"Last time I was in this building was my last game as a head coach in this conference and we played Nebraska.''\nBielema and the Badgers walloped the Huskers 70-31 in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game.\nWith the Razorbacks, Bielema went 29-34 in five years, but he believes he has matured as a coach.\n\"It's a combination of I stand here now as a 51-year-old head coach versus a 36-year-old head coach I was 15 years ago,'' he said. \"I learned things through success, but I've also learned things through failure.''\n3. Fitzgerald favors playoff expansion\nNorthwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald has guided the Wildcats to two of the past three Big Ten Championship Games, losing to Ohio State in each. He's fully in favor of expanding the College Football Playoff to 12 teams or more.\n\"I'm a huge fan,'' Fitzgerald said. \"It doesn't take an economics major to figure out the math.'' Fitzgerald added that he's concerned about details, such as length of season.\n4. Michigan relishes underdog role\nMichigan finished 2-4 last season, next to last in the Big Ten East, and was picked by media members to finish fourth this year. That's just fine with Wolverines defensive end Aidan Hutchinson.\n\"You look on social media, and you can't find a good thing about Michigan football,'' Hutchinson said. \"That's great. I love it. … I hope people continue to see us as underdogs. Once we get rolling, they'll see the speed and the athleticism of this team.''\n5. Penn State looks to rebound\nBeginning with a 36-35 overtime loss to Indiana, Penn State dropped its first five games of 2020 before ending the season on a four-game win streak. Coach James Franklin believes his team has learned through the tough times.\n\"We'll be better for it,'' Franklin said. \"It was painful on all of us, but I'm excited about where we're headed.''\nThe Nittany Lions will get to gauge their progress early with a trip to Wisconsin for the season opener on Sept. 4."}

Both refractive indices and densities of the glass samples were measured using a refractometer and the Archimedean buoyancy method, respectively, at 25°C. The gamma attenuation characteristics of the samples were studied using the photon energy of 662 keV from Cs-137. It was found that the values of refractive index and density of the samples increased and that their colors turned from colorless to yellow with increasing Bi2O3 contents. The relationship between refractive indices, densities, attenuation coefficients and Bi2O3 introducing contents were plotted and discussed. The results suggested that bismuth-bearing glass can be used as an environmental-friendly substitute for lead- and/or barium-bearing glasses for industries besides their radiation-shielding property."}

I’ve seen so many compilation posters that try to sum up all the science fiction fandoms, and they naturally omit one or more that somebody thinks is important.\nMy devotion to SF mythology is cooling these days, it feels like we’ve had too much dessert, not enough dinner. This image feels more significant somehow, because it’s pointing to stories that have actually happened!\nFrom a a quick look at the poster I discover that we (earthlings) have only done ticklishly tentative flybys around Uranus.

{"text": "Sickle cell support group in Brent to close after health chiefs axe its funding\nThe group was provided by the Sickle Cell Society - Credit: Archant\nA support group for Brent residents suffering from Sickle Cell disease is to close after health chiefs withdrew its funding despite the service resulting in a reduction in hospital admissions.\nA decision by Brent Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to decommission The Brent Sickle Cell Advice and Support Service (BSCASS) 16 months into its three-year project has angered people who say the group has improved users’ health.\nSickle Cell disease sufferers produce unusually shaped red blood cells that can cause problems including infections and anaemia.\nThe cells can become stuck in blood vessels which cause painful episodes called sickle cell crises, which can last up to a week.\nIt is a chronic illness which can prove fatal in the most severe cases.\nYou may also want to watch:\nAccording to Harlesden-based health charity the Sickle Cell Society, which runs BSCASS, the holistic support and outreach provided to sufferers has resulted in a reduction in hospital admissions.\nSet up in May last year, BSCASS also provides advice to residents suffering from the inherited blood condition which predominately affects the black scheduled to close on September 17.\nMichele Salter, vice chairwoman of the Sickle Cell Society, said they had seen a reduction hospital admissions since the group was set up.\nShe added: “We are truly disappointed in the decommissioning of the group.\n“Sickle Cell disease is poorly-understood, and the Sickle Cell Society believes Brent CCGs decision reflects both a lack of understanding of SCD and perpetuates inequalities for groups of patients with SCD in deprived parts of the borough.”\nNan Tewari is a local patient activist and the secretary of Brent Patients Voice, a group that campaigns for transparency within the health services.\nShe said she was outraged by the way Brent CCG has behaved.\nShe told the Times: “They didn’t communicate with anyone. The group offers support that is unavailable elsewhere.\n“It has only been a year. They are leaving users of the group high and dry.”\nCheryl Phoenix, who lives in Willesden, lost her partner Dele Akinlade to Sickle Cell in 2007.\nShe told the Times: “I am disgusted and infuriated and confused.\n“Why are they is happy to cut funding for something that affects the black community?\n“If it was something that affected the masses it would be funded properly. We are talking about people’s lives here.\n“If people are using this service why is it being cut?”\nSamantha, a user of the group, added: “I’m sad to see it go.\n“The support and advice given by the group has helped improve my health and made me feel better able to manage my sickle cell.\n“No other services in the area provided me with the help I needed before, and I am afraid that there will be nothing to help me once the group is closed.”\nA spokesman for Brent CCG said: “The CCG is absolutely committed to ensuring that people with sickle cell disease in Brent receive appropriate care and support.\n“A year ago we commissioned this service on the basis that it would be treated as a pilot and evaluated after a year. That evaluation showed that the service is not delivering its agreed objectives. It has not been reaching enough people and where the service has provided benefit to local people, it was through advice and support that is already available from other services. On that basis, the CCG is planning to decommission the service. The CCG is actively engaging with people with sickle cell disease in Brent to ensure that we can continue to commission services that do meet their needs. We will not leave patients without support.\n“We have received concerns from Brent Patient Voice and are taking them seriously. As we have informed BPV, the concerns will be considered by a meeting of our full Governing Body on 7 September, and we will respond in full shortly after that meeting.”\nBrent CCG will be holding a public meeting at CVS Training Room, Ground Floor, 5 Rutherford Way, Wembley, on September 15 from 1pm to 3pm."}

{"text": "Since Geisha got ruined I have had a hard time getting motivated to start stitching again. I did manage to get some stitching in on Collecting Shells this morning at work. I was going to work on Geisha for the next 2 weeks but since she is gone I am not for sure what I will work on. Maybe I will start TW's Woodland Faerie, I do have some fabric I dyed Golden Yellow that it would look great on. It is something to think about but hopefully tomorrow afternoon before the kids get out of school I can make a run to the craft store. Since I will already be there I might just have to browse around the patterns and see what treasures I can find.\n2 comments:\nCollecting Shells looks sooooo great! And congratulations on the kids going back to school - wow, they go back early in MS! They don't go back until 8/29 here.... :-)\nNice start on collecting shells :) It's a sweet piece :)\nHow's the Halloween piece coming???\nHave a great weekend!"}
{"text": "Talk about an arm and a leg!\nEveryone talks about how weddings are so expensive, but rarely is a former bride brave enough to actually share how much hers cost. According to CNN, the average wedding in the United States rings up at over $30,000, but some couples will undoubtedly wind up spending three, four, or five times that amount. Wondering how a wedding could cost so much, or in some cases, so little?\nHere six real brides ~finally~ dish out the truth about how much their weddings cost and what they spent the most money on.\n“My wedding cost around $100,000. It was the wedding of my dreams, and I have expensive taste. My husband and I only paid for about $10,000 of the wedding and our parents chipped in to split the bill for the rest. The dress of my dreams was $8,000, and I wanted a very flower-heavy wedding, so we spent close to $20,000 on that. After the wedding, some guests took the flower centerpieces home but most were thrown out. It’s the party of your lifetime, but if you look back at how much it costs, it’s really a lot of money to spend on one night. I realize that now, years and years after throwing the party of my dreams.” –Dana J., 32\n“We paid for the entire wedding ourselves. At first, our budget was only $15,000, but we ended up spending close to $18,000 on the whole thing. We got married in our backyard, had a friend DJ, and I did a ton of DIY crafts for decorations. We spent the most money on the catering, the food, and the rental items, like tables, chairs, linens, and a sound system.” –Steph R., 27\n“I think we spent around $110,000. I didn’t keep track or set a budget. My parents gave me their credit card and I charged everything there. That was always the deal. They pushed me to get married and said when I found the person I wanted to marry, they’d pay for it. I think we spent $15,000 on a live band, and I think the venue, a local hotel on the beach, charged us around $300 per person for food and drink.” –Yasmine B., 31\n“I tried to set a budget, which was $31,000, but when I started planning I realized I needed to spend way more money than that. I invited close to 250 people, and I was paying for the wedding alone with my husband. We had a long engagement (three years) because I wanted to have a fancy wedding and not one that was just tossed together because we couldn’t afford the real deal. Even still, my parents ended up loaning us $20,000 so we could pay for everything we wanted, and we’ve been paying them back for the last three years. Some things were outrageously expensive, like having to spend $4,500 on my dress and $8,000 for a photographer and videographer.” –Alicia P., 33\n“I went to a local school for college and my tuition was about $25,000 a year. Our wedding cost four years-worth of tuition. Was it worth it? No way. But at the time, I thought so. I invited 175 people and paid around $250 per person for the meal and drink package. I also had a live band, which was around $10,000, flowers, which were $15,000, and my dress was $6,750.” -Victoria K., 27\n“Looking back at it now, we could have bought a car, a pretty nice car, like a BMW or a Mercedes, for what we spent on one night for our wedding in 2015. We spent $87,000 in total—that included tips for our vendors and also our honeymoon. Some might think that was a pretty reasonable amount to spend, but it was way out of our means. We were just trying to keep up with the Jones’ when it came to our friends’ weddings. The most expensive thing we splurged on was having our wedding at a local museum.” –Brittany W., 29"}

This book is absolutely outstanding. I could not put it down and wanted to read the whole thing over again as soon as I finished.

{"text": "Legal Services in Nassau County, NY for Landlords and Tenants with Regard to Rent\nLandlords and tenants often find they are in need of Legal Services in Nassau County NY. The law tends to favor tenants, but there are exceptions. Following are some laws every tenant and landlord should be aware of.\nPayment of Rent\nNew York hasn’t established any laws regarding when rent must be paid or what grace period must be allowed for payments that don’t arrive on time. Furthermore, there are no regulations in place regarding rent increase notices, late fees, or rent that is prepaid. However, the state has determined that landlords are allowed to charge a reasonable fee for each application submitted, and returned checks may be assessed a fee no greater than $20. This amount must be clearly written in the contract before it can be assessed, and the rental agreement must also outline any automatic renewal terms. Furthermore, the landlord must notify the tenant of these terms a minimum of 15 days before the lease ends.\nRent Deductions\nIn the event repairs are needed for an essential utility, the tenant may carry out the repairs and deduct the corresponding amount if the landlord fails to have the work completed. Landlords, in turn, may ask for court and attorney fees in the event they must take a tenant to trial. These are the only situations where deductions to rent are allowed under current law.\nMilitary Tenants\nAn individual in the military is allowed to terminate a lease early in the event they obtain orders that have them leaving the area for a long period of time or if they are called to active duty. Furthermore, people who enter active duty retain the right to terminate a lease early. However, rent must still be paid for the month immediately after the lease is terminated.\nForbidden Language\nA landlord is not allowed to make a tenant release the landlord from liability for any damages. Furthermore, a tenant cannot be required to waive his or her right to a jury before a trial. Finally, no landlord can make a tenant put up his or her furnishings in place of remitting a security deposit.\nIf you need landlord or tenant Legal Services in Nassau County NY, contact The Law Offices of Peter Morra. The firm will be happy to discuss your matter with you. They assist landlords and tenants regularly and will work to get your problem resolved in a timely manner."}

{"text": "PHOTOS: World's Tallest Statue Ready For Its Inauguration In India\nDeep in western India, a giant larger than any other awaits its imminent welcome to the world. The Statue of Unity, a 600-foot monument to a founding father of independent India, is set to be inaugurated Wednesday.\nPresumably that will leave just enough time to finish scrolling through all of the photograph below.\nThe statue depicts Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who together with Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru helped lead India to independence from the U.K. Often known as the Iron Man of India, he served as the independent country's first home affairs minister and deputy prime minister, and he's credited with helping unite its hundreds of disparate states into a coherent, functioning entity before his death in 1950.\nNow, the late Indian leader will enjoy not just a towering reputation, but also a literally towering memorial in the region he hailed from, the western state of Gujarat. The $400 million Statue of Unity overlooks the Sardar Sarovar Dam near the city of Vadodara.\nTo give you a little sense of scale: It would take about four Statues of Liberty, each one standing atop the last, just for Lady Liberty to reach the crown of the Iron Man's head with her torch.\nAnd as for his toes — well, his big toe alone stands easily taller than the construction workers putting the finishing touches on the statue.\nIt dwarfs its nearest competition, the Spring Temple Buddha in Henan, China. That copper behemoth stands 420 feet tall atop a 66-foot pedestal containing a monastery.\nThe Henan Buddha will relinquish the title of tallest statue in the world when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the Statue of Unity in person Wednesday. Modi, also a native of Gujarat, plans to perform a special prayer at the feet of the statue and deliver a speech in dedication before an air force flyby.\nThe colossus has not been without controversy, though.\nLocal tribe leaders have announced a boycott of the inauguration ceremony, citing the destruction of the natural resources nearby, according to Indian broadcaster NDTV.\n\"These forests, rivers, waterfalls, land and agriculture supported us for generations. We survived on them,\" they said in an open letter quoted by the broadcaster. \"But, everything is being destroyed now and celebrations are also planned. Don't you think its akin to celebrating someone's death? We feel so.\"\nThey also asserted that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the statue could have been better used elsewhere — including on the unreliable nearby canal system.\n\"This is being done for political gains as tribal groups in Gujarat are still suffering and devoid of basic human necessities,\" one local leader said.\nSuch objections have done little to dampen Modi's enthusiasm.\n\"Every Indian will be proud of the fact that the world's tallest statue is now in India. Sardar Patel, the man connected with the land, will now adorn the sky,\" he said Sunday. \"I am sure every Indian will take pride in telling the world about this great accomplishment.\"\n"}

Small tillers are also known as power cultivators. These tillers typically have one or two blades on them. Bigger tillers have four or more blades. Small tillers are best for softer soil, while big ones are best for rocky ground.\nWhat kind of blades should your tiller have?\nTiller blades are likewise known as branches. These branches cultivate the soil. There are 3 kinds of tines: bolo, slasher, and pick and chisel. Bolo tines are one of the most fundamental kind of tiller blades. They are utilized for deep tilling. On the other hand, slasher tines are made to work with heavy vegetation and plants with roots in the ground.

Rear tined tillers are much easier to regulate than front tined tillers, and therefore take less muscle power from you. Rear tined tillers do not compact soil, as front tined tillers do.\nHow much do you wish to spend on a tiller?\nRear tined tillers tend to cost double the cost of front tined tillers. How much you spend on a tiller ought to depend on how frequently you plan to make use of the tiller.

{"text": "I am proud to say that Adelyn is sleeping MUCH better than she was. We had a few really bad nights last week and I didn't know if I was going to survive this. I was getting very frustrated and I had no clue what to do. Well Saturday night and last night we made the decision to put her to sleep on her stomach and wow - she slept! I will admit that I check on her a million times with her sleeping on her belly since that is how SIDS can happen but she's been good so far. She doesn't move around too much so that makes me feel a little better. I still don't know if I'm going to tell the doctor that I'm letting her do this but I'm actually getting sleep and I am a completely different person so I think that letting her do this is what is best for both of us.\nI was thinking about calling my doc and getting on some happy pills but after getting two nights of good sleep, I don't think I need them. I've been careful to watch for signs of ppd and I was getting very close on Thursday and Friday but I think I'll be good. It's amazing what some sleep can do for fried emotions! I'm still going to watch out for it but I really hope I don't need to go on them again. I don't like the person the pills turn me into... not sad or mad but also not happy either. Yuck.\nOther than our sleeping issues, things have been good in all areas. Friday was girls night and I had a great time hanging out with them and I also loved drinking a big margarita. Amazing! Saturday I had my Tastefully Simple party and then went to a toy party at Joe and Tracey's. It was fun to get to see so many friends in one day! Sunday we went out to breakfast, I took a GREAT nap, and then hung out at Aaron's parent's the rest of the day. I \"helped\" him clean out the work van. I got the awesome task of dividing all the tools into piles [wrenchs, hammers, screwdrivers, etc] and figuring out where they belonged and if he had duplicates and such. Kinda boring but still nice to be with his family.\nThis weekend will be my first night away from Adelyn over night. I was not nervous at all when it came to leaving her for a few hours but I am nervous about over night. I am very excited - don't get me wrong - but scared. Scared that I am going to miss her too much or that my mom is going to go crazy or that something bad will happen. I'm sure everything will be just fine... but I'll still worry until I get them back on Sunday.\n4 comments:\nI'm glad putting her on her tummy helped out :) It was defiantly my saving grace!!!\nI can't wait to hear about your first night away from both the kiddos and how your mom does!\nI wouldn't mention anything to the dr, but I don't honestly believe that babies could die because of the way you put them to bed either! I remember when I had Hunter they told me to lay him on his back, then when I had Dylan, they told me to lay him on his side, when we were kids, our parents were told to put us on our bellys. You gotta do what works for you and the baby. I'm so glad you were able to get some well needed sleep, it makes a huge difference!\nWhen we were babies our parents put us on our bellies and look how we turned out (just as messed up as the rest of them) haha I'm glad you found something that works and allows you to SLEEEEEEP! :)\nI don't think I commented on the last blog about Jack and the big boy undies so YAAAHHHH FOR JACKSON!! :) He's getting so big!\nYea, lunch sounds good...we may need to go to the park and pack a lunch though, I can't afford to go out anywhere anytime soon..."}

It is also a sign that you are focused on each other.\nAn intimate relationship is just like a camaraderie in many ways, yet is different in a few important methods. A romantic romance is more intense and involves intimacy. Intimacy is a crucial element of an intimate relationship, but it really should not be the sole focus. If you want a long-lasting relationship, you have to be prepared to set up the effort.\nOnce in conflict, be sure you communicate the disagreements. Disagreements are inescapable in charming relationships. Whilst adolescence may be a time of increased emotionality and conflict, arguments should be handled in a healthy manner. This will help your partner conquer any conditions that might happen. During the early on stages of a romance, the spouse is more likely to downplay arguments and view these people as irrelevant.\nRomantic absolutely adore is a complex, emotional process which includes evolved over the centuries.

Like any relationship, passionate relationships currently have ups and downs. Intoxicating “honeymoon” phases lead to periods of frustration and approval, and eventually for the desire for résolution.\nA healthy romantic relationship requires continuing attention and effort. The returns are well well worth the effort. If it is nurtured, a loving relationship may strengthen all aspects of our wellbeing and provide support for the long-term. Of course, if the two partners converse often , they are less likely to obtain problems down the road.\nIf you’re not communicating regularly, you may be leading to tension and conflict in the relationship. Stress causes misreads and confusion, this means you will lead to destructive knee-jerk responses. Avoid these kinds of mistakes by simply expressing your requirements directly. Make an effort to establish a regime of regular night out nights and brainstorm loving ideas in concert.

As the quantity of youths stepping into romantic interactions increases, they can be increasingly susceptible to develop multiple relationships. A number of the relationships last longer than others.\nCharming relationships entail emotional and physical nearness. While most of these associations are erotic, they can also become nonsexual. In the end, the goal of an intimate relationship is to satisfy the requires of each party. People who are in such relationships share a deep attachment and are committed to each other. They may share emotions of love, friendship or closeness.\nThe first step to marriage should be to define the nature for the relationship. In a committed romance, both partners make consumer commitments to become together and share their lives. However , in a casual romantic relationship, they often usually do not view the other person as life partners and find out each other for the reason that friends or perhaps coworkers. A casual marriage is typically immediate and situational."}

{"text": "1. Forward and Introduction 1. Forward And Introduction The Australian Light Horse Association Ltd – Standing Orders for Uniform, Dress and Equipment Forward To all members of our Association we commend this dress manual to you. Please use this manual as a guide to assist your troop in its charter to perpetuate the history of the Australian Light Horse. We acknowledge that within our organization we have a diversified group wishing to represent the Light Horse in various historical eras. Using this manual as a basic guide will ensure that all our members present the Light Horse to the general public in a uniform and professional manner. It is also acknowledged that each troop may present a different era and as such there will be some variation to this guide, however the basic representation will be universal. Compiling this information has involved the assistance of members of the Association and does not represent a particular view of any individual. We extend our thanks and gratitude for their assistance. The Directors of the Association endorse these standing orders and encourage all members to comply with them. ALHA Board of Directors Introduction The question is: “Why do all Soldiers worry about their dress?” The answer is threefold, namely:a. As a matter of respect. To gain self-respect and the respect of others, military and civilian, we must be smart, clean, and have a soldierly bearing. b. For pride in what we present. In our uniform we represent our own personality, our unit, our Corps, the Army, The Australian Light Horse Association and above all, Service to our Country. Therefore, our uniform has to be worn properly. c. The majority of the Australian people know no more about the Army than what they see and hear. They often see soldiers, from whom they judge the Army, on the town or city streets. If we are to justify our existence as The Australian Light Horse Association Members and represent our forebears, we must let the Australian people see a smart and professional organisation.Whilst the members of The Australian Light Horse Association are not necessarily members of the Armed Services, these instructions are provided to ensure that the uniforms and equipment are used and worn in a manner which reflects credit on the wearers and more importantly, provides an accurate and respectful portrayal of the Light Horse to the general public.It is essential that members keep in sight the reasons for the existence of Historical troops:1. To obtain and preserve the history, uniforms and equipment used by the Australian Light Horsemen. 2. To research and preserve the history of the Regiments of the Light Horse and their traditions and customs. 3. To make this information available to the public."}

{"text": "In a recent survey on this blog, Climate Change was considered one of the most important concerns we humans have.\nThere are many ways to perceive possible solutions to this global crisis.\nTwo particular perspectives that I’ve recently come across show promise for lending great support to any possible solutions.\nThe first is on smartMeme and is best summed up in their own words:\n“You’ve probably heard about last week’s official report from the Whitehouse, confirming that climate change is serious, and that ‘changes are unavoidable’. So, we’re wondering, ‘What kind of changes are we talking about’?\n“Will we keep blasting the Appalachian mountains for the sake of “clean coal”? Will we privatize water in order to “preserve” it? Will climate change stand in as an excuse for lax labor practices and corporate greenwashing?”\nHere’s the way smartMeme works: “Organizing – at the heart of it – has always been about building relationships through telling our stories. What smartMeme is doing is upgrading methods for the information age, and cutting through the clutter of the modern media climate with clear calls for justice that spread as viral memes.”\nIn case you’re not familiar with the term, a Meme, from Wikipedia, is:\n“…a postulated unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, and is transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena.”\nThe second perspective is called The Transition Initiative. Rather than being a way to induce more action to stem the tide of climate change, The Transition Initiative is a way for communities to prepare for sustanability even if, as seems likely, governments and corporations don’t take swift enough action.\nI feel their methods were spawned by the consideration that there are already enough changes in the environment that even a full-out program to reverse changes cannot keep up with change already induced…\nYou can find out about The Transition Initiative at the site, Transition Culture. I do recommend, though, that you also read the fine essay at Orion Magazine to gain a deep understanding of why such an Initiative is necessary…\nSpiritual Quote:\n ‘unity in diversity’.”\nBahá’í International Community, 1991 Aug 13, International Legislation for Environment Development\nLet’s have a conversation !\nMake It Easy !\nSubscribe Free\nin a reader or your email"}

{"text": "Who knew that Paul J. Barkers book about beleaguered restaurant employees and obnoxious restaurant patrons would become such a hit? Certainly not Barker himself.\n(PRWEB) April 28, 2005 -- Perhaps there are solid reasons for Timothys Take-Outs success. For one thing, it was penned by Paul J. Barker, who even today continues to eat, sleep and breathe fast food. He operates a restaurant in Southern Ontario (that he wishes to assure everyone is nothing like Timothys Take-Out), and probably has more service-related yarns to spin than anyone in the business.\nThe story itself is irresistible: Introverted loner Carl Fellows can spend summer at the beach -- only if he hires on at the wildest fast food joint in otherwise tranquil Robinsons Pt. Young Mr. Fellows takes the job, and is immediately besieged by that which he hates most: swarms and swarms of insufferable human beings. Rather than give up the job (or embark on a mad killing spree), he channels his rage into a somewhat unrealistic pursuit of fame and fortune. When not flipping burgers, hes either in the gym preparing for his next amateur boxing match or holed up in his dilapidated beach house writing music.\nBeing as versatile as a Swiss army knife doesnt hurt this novel, either. There is something for everyone within its pages. If itsothys Take-Out.\"\nAnother great thing about this novel -- you do not have to leave the sanctity of your computer room to order a copy.

{"text": "A year ago, Windward High coach Vanessa Nygaard played the 1986 sports movie “Hoosiers” for her girls’ basketball team on the long bus ride to Sacramento en route to winning a Division I state championship. The players were so young they had no idea what she was talking about when she mentioned the “picket fence play.”\nNygaard is already searching for new movie for next week’s drive on the way to playing for the state Open Division championship. The Wildcats (27-3) will be rolling into the Golden 1 Center in the state capital after knocking off defending champion Clovis West 61-50 in the Southern California Regional championship game Saturday at Long Beach State.\nAs usual, standout junior guard Charisma Osborne was magnificent. She scored 22 points and contributed nine rebounds and three assists.\nWindward broke the game open by turning a one-point halftime lead into a 45-31 advantage after three quarters. And it was Osborne’s teammates stepping forward when she had to leave briefly because of cramps.\n“I have no clue what happened,” Osborne said.\nSela Kay and Kamil English each made three-point baskets, putting to rest any hopes for a Clovis West comeback with Osborne on the bench.\n“It was a great way to respond,” Nygaard said.\nSaid Clovis West coach Craig Campbell: “The other kids made us pay when we did a decent job on her.”\nOsborne came back in the fourth quarter, providing court leadership against Clovis West’s full-court press. The Wildcats found openings to get easy baskets.\nEnglish finished with 12 points and Kay had 10.\nMadison Campbell scored 18 points for Clovis West.\nIgnoring its size disadvantage, Gardena Serra used its quickness and toughness to earn a trip to Sacramento, defeating Ribet 58-46 in the Division I girls’ regional final .\nThere were 23 fouls in the first half, and Ribet couldn’t recover. Standout Lola Penande, a 6-foot-4 forward who was a member of Spain’s U18 national team, picked up four fouls in the first quarter.\nLauryn Pointer finished with 17 points to lead Serra, including three three-pointers that helped open up the Ribet defense that featured 6-9 Andrea Aquino. Cheyenne Gives scored 16 points, Alexis Tucker 13 and Racheal Duru 10.\n“Foul trouble early hurt us,” Ribet coach Nelson Wong said. “It took us away from what we wanted to do. We dug ourselves a hole we couldn’t climb out of.”\nAquino finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds.\nSerra will play San Francisco Sacred Heart Cathedral in next weekend’s state championship game at Golden 1 Center."}

{"text": "I have owned this in the past but sadly my copy when AWOL during the great lost box of books debacle. For me these are one of the most ground breaking sets of rules ever written and so I am delighted to have a copy once again. For the rationale behind the rules read Frank Chadwick's designer's notes\nDuring my recent period of back induced inactivity I was able to spend rather a lot of time reading. I was able to catch up on a few new titles as well as revisiting some old friends. I have also had time to think about bits and pieces in respect of what I am gaming and what I am going to game (occasionally these are the same....) and more importantly how I am going to go about it. The usual outcome of this is that certain disposals and acquisitions are made and this time has proven to be no exception.\nI really need to cull the collection in readiness for the inevitable downsizing when I retire - still five and half years away - so the mind needs to have a degree of focus. It would be easy to offload or dump material en masse if I wanted to but this would probably not be a good idea. Wargaming shelves abhor a vacuum and so seeing these in the man cave as the result of such a draconian culling would probably be all the incentive I needed to go hell for leather in some historical direction or another by way of refilling them. Clearly a more measured approach would preferential.\nI reckon I need to reduce my book collection by around a half, probably more, say two thirds. The biggest other part of my collection seems to consist of items that are not immediately usable - there is whole lot of Axis and Allies gaming pieces as well as Risk Medieval figures. The block armies are fairly compact so are certainly staying put, as are the ACW ships and the planned other ships once they are built. I have a modest selection of terrain which will stay as will the modelling/painting materials.\nAs part and parcel of this ongoing process I will also need to focus on the periods that I shall be sticking with. This will have the effect of ensuring that the book collection stays within reasonable bounds and rather more focussed!\nThe holy trinity of naval reference books. These are very comprehensive and I have used them a lot but not for some time as I have other sources for the periods I am interested in - maybe not quite as technical but certainly more than adequate for my needs.\nI have disposed of a couple of bits and pieces already but this will be, by design, a rather elongated process. Thus far a couple of board games have gone and this may come as something of a surprise, also my three volumes of Conway's Fighting Ships, covering from 1860 to 1946. The main reason for this is simply that I have most of the naval information I need dotted around other sources so I have little need for them. In truth I have not really used them a great deal over the past few years so it made sense disposing of them. Hardcore naval gamers may despair at this apparent act of sacrilege but I feel pretty laid back about the decision!\nI have had a rethink in respect of the block armies. I am going to use labels for counters rather than using laser cut tokens. It will be cheaper to realise and will look just as good if I use an MDF base with the appropriate label. All I need to do is the design work or I could even make use of some symbols found in various quarters across the web.\nVolley and Bayonet, when originally published, absolutely blew me away in respect of the concepts presented - army level battles using brigades as the building blocks with whatever figure scale you wanted to use. My own copy vanished along with a box of books during one of my periodic reorganisations so I was delighted to get a copy once again. These rules have been updated to be rather more period specific whilst still retaining the core mechanisms. You will probably not be surprised to learn that I already have a number of ideas to play around using these rules - some of which will be rather surprising but that is for a post at a later date.\nWork on the ACW ships continues albeit at rather a sedate pace. Being back at work has impacted quite heavily as previously, whilst on furlough and working from home, it was easy to spend the odd half hour or so when needed. Now I am limited to evenings and weekends so naturally things will take a little longer back in the real world.\nThere are also a few ongoing domestic issues which are also taking time so my posting to the blog has been rather less frequent than usual and this is likely to be the way for the foreseeable future.\nStill, one has to keep on keeping on!\n6 comments:\nGreat to see you have finally got a copy of 'V&B' ! Can we look forward to seeing a game with those...?\nHello there David in Suffolk,\nI have a few ideas in mind including some that are slightly left field - I will be posting in more detail once I have sorted a few things out.\nAbsolutely delighted to get a copy once again and thanks for your help originally!\nAll the best,\nDC\nAn interesting read David and on a subject that i have sort of tackled over the past few years. I'm sure lockdown has allowed us all time to really think about the games, periods and rules we play. I'm pretty settled on rules now which is good, ditto periods, so I too have quite a few books that really I have no use for or never really used other than skimming through them. This will certainly free up space and help declutter my gaming library which I find to be rather cathartic.\nI've never played V&B but am glad you got a copy of a set of rules you obviously enjoy. Let's hope you can get some games onto the table, with your block armies or other wise as and when time allows.\nHello there Steve J,\nIt is rather unusual for me in that my reorganisations tend to be rather more short term looking, reactive even. This time there is, dare I say it, a species of five year plan in place. It will doubtless involve a lot of soul searching but the end result will be far more productive going forwards.\nFor the most part I have in mind the type of games I want to to fight and the periods I want to fight them in so it is really just a case of focus.\nThe block armies are going to feature in a variety of ways which is why I am so keen to upgrade them in readiness. The scratch building of ships will certainly remain and as for figures I am comfortable thinking about things from a skirmish level.\nVolley and Bayonet will offer me another dimension and I have a few ideas for them that I have resurrected so watch this space!\nAll the best,\nDC\nI am shedding a virtual rear for your Conway's - mine are staying firmly on my bookcase\nHello there Geordie,\nIf I am honest these days I only very occasionally refer to them as much of the detail I need for the periods I game I have from other, more readable sources. I have enjoyed owning them but no longer needed them.\nAll the best,\nDC"}

They spread rumours that we (SPR) delayed the counting when the disturbance was made by them (DAP).\n\"In Suarah Sibu civic centre on the 16th May, the DAP supporters shouted 'boo' at the SPR workers that was carrying in the polling box, then the supporters and their leaders at their whims and fancies trespassed a prohibited area and held a press conference.\n\"Why does the DAP leaders who was in the civic centre didn't control their supporters. This behaviour shown by DAP was the worst and so rude,\" he said.\nTheir hooliganism proves that they are not as democratic as they said they are. This country have rules and regulations and laws that must be followed by everyone. Nobody is above the law.\nMeanwhile, the communist Chief Minister in Pulau Pinang is putting the blame of the flash flood that happened in a housing area in Balik Pulau yesterday on Perda (Penang Regional Development Authority).\nDatuk Azhar Ibrahim, the Chairman of Perda said that Guan Eng should be giving help to the people in the affected area instead of putting the blame on someone else.\nHe also divulged that the state government's directive so that Perda stopped the project near that housing area until the drainage system is repaired will only affect the 216 low cost houses for the people and this shows that Guan Eng is not concerned about the poor people especially the Malays.\nIn Sarawak, William Ghani Bina, the joint-committee chairman of Teachers' Union Association of Sabah and Sarawak mentioned that special funding was needed to upgrade school facilities and resolve long-standing problems faced by rural teachers.\nHe who is also the President of Sarawak Teachers' Union (STU) was surprised that the minister was not aware of teh real situation and the problems faced by teachers in rural schools as STU had taken photos of the poor condition of the schools and the teachers quarters and sent them to the ministry 20 years ago.\nLet's see now its 2010. If they had sent the report 20 years ago, it was in 1990. So this is the work or not doing the work by the one who had been appointed as the Minister of Education. Who was the Minister of Education then? Had he been so busy with his homosexual activities or being the foreign spy of the Jews that he had overlooked the report of the poor condition of the schools in Sarawak? Or did he just threw the report into the dustbin?\nFrom 1985 to 1990, ANWAR IBRAHIM was the Minister of Education. Some of the stupid policies made by him is the bahasa BAKU, that is sounding a little bit like the Indonesian language. An honour to the most beloved lover perhaps?
