Ghost Lake - Conneaut Lake October 2008
Last Friday, October 3rd, Patrick and I visited the haunted attraction, Ghost Lake. (Formerly known as Conneaut Lake Amusement Park.) The park closed last year citing insurance issues and an arson fire back in February sealed the parks fate. Hence, the transformation to Ghost Lake with 8 terrifying [...]

High expectations were placed the talented pass rusher from Miami, and [...]

Student loans are one of the few types of credit that can haunt you almost forever. When it comes to taking out credit cards and loans, there are rules that all lenders must abide by, but many of these "normal" rules do NOT apply to student loan lenders. With most lenders they cannot legally sue you or take control of your assets (bank account, lien, etc) once the debt is past your state's statute

Rupak D Sharma Asia News Network - 03-04-2008 Original URL The United Nations Climate Change Talks currently underway in Bangkok faced the first stumbling block on Wednesday after the developed countries insisted on setting voluntary targets, instead of legally binding targets, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Addressing the conference, which commenced on Monday, the Japanese delegation said: “The purpose of setting a long-term goal (on reducing GHG emissions) is for parties to share a common recognition on the future path. Therefore, such a goal should be considered as a non-legally binding shared vision.” The Japanese viewpoint received the backings of Canada and the US. In the words of Marcelo Furtado, campaign director of Greenpeace Brazil: “What Ja

Happy Halloween! In celebration of today’s ghoul fest – and my 100th blog post – I thought I’d write up one of my favorite old neighborhood haunts.I grew up in the Baltimore/Washington corridor and still have strong sentimental and family attachments to Baltimore (aka, Charm City, Mobtown). Baseball has never seemed the same since going to see the Birds play in Memorial Stadium, with Boog Powell on first, Brooks on third and Paul Blair out in center field. Those were good days to go to a game, carry along the glove (just in case!) and eat some peanuts or a frank while dad took advantage of the Schaeffer or Natty Boh (depending on the season) being hawked by the roving vendors. I also kick started my education in food by going as a young lad to many of the ethnic heritage festivals peppered around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor area.Well, the Orioles have never rediscovered the glory of the 1970s and I haven’t made it to the Polish festival in many a moon. However, I do still
Halloween can be a fun time for all of us with families, but like all else. We need to make sure we are doing the things to make sure it is safe and fun. I found this website, Halloween Safety Guide, while doing some searches on Halloween Safety and thought it would be a benefit to us all.On the site they outlined safety tips for kids, parents, pets, parties, costumes, and yard haunts. Some of the tips they gave were:1. "Teaching your kids basic everyday safety such as not getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both ways before crossing streets and crossing when the lights tell you to, will help make them safer when they are out Trick or Treating."2. "The best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you can't take them, see if another parent or a teen aged sibling can go along."3. "To keep things moving for either an adult party or child's party, make sure that you have some games, like a scavenger hunt or a murder mystery planned in advance."4. "Instru

Oscar-winner Halle Berry has hired security guards because of racist threats to her unborn baby.The star, three months pregnant, has received letters at her LA home from an anonymous person. One said she and her child would be “cut into hundreds of pieces”.Halle, 41, is expecting her first child with white Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.A source close to the actress said: “Halle does not normally use security but she has taken on a couple of guys to make sure.” Police are investigating the threats.Meanwhile, Halle has been given lots of treats by supermodel boyfriend Gabriel Aubry as she goes through the early stages of her pregnancy.“She loves foot massages. I do all of that stuff,” he told people.com at The World Of Calvin Klein event in New York.And it appears that he has been satisfying her salty food cravings too.“She does crave pickles. And any bread. It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s salt and pickles,” added Gabriel. The model, who met Halle at a Versace photo
Cut Or Not Cut?By Rich MillerSept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is grappling with what predecessor Alan Greenspan might call a conundrum.At issue is whether today's U.S. economy most resembles 1998, when Greenspan may have been too eager to cut interest rates, or 2000-2001, when he may have been too slow. The trouble is, the situation now resembles a bit of both.That increases the danger as the Fed's Open Market Committee meets tomorrow to decide on interest-rate policy. If Bernanke and his colleagues aim to avoid the mistake of 1998 and opt for caution, they risk a recession. If they push ahead with big rate cuts and growth proves resilient, they could find themselves with rising inflation, fueled by record oil prices and a slumping dollar.``This is a critical time for the Fed,'' says Peter Hooper, who worked at the central bank during the financial crisis in 1998 and is now chief U.S. economist for Deutsche Bank Securities in New York. ``The stakes h
Tim Leffel points us to this WSJ article about the ghost skyscrapers of Bangkok.
BANGKOK — One recent steamy afternoon, a shirtless man named Nop tossed out chunks of putrid meat for the dozen stray dogs that share his home, an open-air encampment inside the unfinished 47-story Sathorn Unique tower.
Ten years ago, Sathorn Unique was destined to be one of the city’s glitziest addresses. Today, its Corinthian columns and four-story arches are nearly lost amid a tangle of trees and vines. Although workers completed the building’s basic structure all the way to the top, its concrete shell starts to peter out about 20 stories up, leaving exposed metal and a half-finished dome on the roof. Steel bars jut out in all directions and mounds of refuse litter the grounds. Inside, two out-of-service escalators climb to nowhere and the smell of urine is overpowering.
But at least, Nop says, “the building won’t collapse.”

Todd McFarlane también estuvo en la Comic Con con un nuevo proyecto, el artista afirma que con todos los negocios que lleva y tres hijos no puede estar 12 horas dibujando como antaño. Sin embargo parece ser que Robert Kirkman se acercó a el y le propuso un proyecto que ya está en marcha y para el cual ya tienen un nombre, Haunt. McFarlane hará las portadas pero evidentemente no tendrá tiempo para dibujar y entintar el interior, pero si téndrá el control creativo hasta el final en lo referente a este comic. Esta es la imagen que fue mostrada.Por otra parte McFarlane está realizando un videojuego multijugador masivo online con el escritor de fantasía R.A. Salvatore.

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though they hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life! "Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced black magic, because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood. The old man liked the fact that he was feared. To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98. His wife had a closed casket at the wake. After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party, as if there was no tomorrow. Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way up and out of the grave, and come back to haunt you for the rest of your life?" The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him dig. I had him buried upside down . . . "

Quiet day news-wise with the usual suspects doing the rounds. However, a slight change came with Marca, which as you know is Castellano for Bullshitting Bastards, reporting with a headline that ‘Ribery only wants to go to Madrid‘. Not that he actually said that, more that his Mr 15% did. Well, sort of. I’ll translate (as best I can - I know, I know, a Spanish wife, I ought to be completely fluent but I play dumb otherwise I’d have to speak to the miserable scrotes that pass for her cousins. Instead I just listen. Oh yeah. Amazing what people talk about when they think you don’t understand…)
Ribery does not want to play for Bayern. He likes Spain but he has not received an offer from any Spanish team. It is true that Madrid have watched him play but we have not received an offer yet
So nothing new there. Substitute the Spanish media with the English and I bet Franck just loves London…

Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney has spent December concerned mostly with his appeal, or otherwise, to evangelical Christian conservatives. His vulnerabilities in this area are the two 'M's - Mormonism and Massachusetts. The first of these he has been dealing with as well as is probably possible, by highlighting his own personal morality and values, and so giving a visible human face to an abstract philosphical debate. The second problem caused more difficulty this month.Romney started the month well, doing useful things like visiting Mississippi, and not quite getting endorsed by Jerry Falwell; sending love (i.e. cash) to Alabama, where more visits are being lined up; as well as putting in an appearance in Louisiana. Strategists for both John McCain and Sam Brownback insisted that Romney's Mormon faith would not be "much of an issue." He racked up some foreign policy Brownie points with a visit to China to be laughed at by some students for lecturing to them about Chin
