In Flood-Pummeled Flagler Beach, Mountains of Heartbreak, But Surges of Grit And Samaritans
FlaglerLive | September 13, 2017
AJ Neste, his wife Megan and their three young children have lost just about everything to flooding at their house on South Flagler Avenue, yet today they had zero self-pity and nothing but praise for the comfort and help they've been receiving from friends and strangers. Their story is not unique, neither for its losses nor its helping hands. Click on the image for larger view.
(c FlaglerLive)
They're not houses anymore, exactly. They're heartbreaks. One after the other. On South Flagler Avenue, on Ocean Palm Drive, on Palm Drive, on Lambert Avenue in Flagler Beach, where block after block of homes were flooded by one, two, three feet of water from the Intracoastal or the salt marsh as Hurricane Irma's lashing remnants tormented the area early Monday.
Today much of the water had receded. But most of the properties along those streets looked dismally similar to houses where a resident who'd lived there for years had just died, where families were cleaning out the insides by piling up musty furniture, carpeting, shelves, clothes and appliances out front or in dumpsters to be hauled away. Except that no one had died. The houses' interiors had. The end result was the same: block after block, pile after pile of lifetimes of belongings lining the road with soaking carpets, couches, beds, mattresses, toys, books, clothes, turn up flooring, musical instruments, like the torn up acoustic guitar glinting in the indifferent sun in front of a house on Ocean Palm.
And that reek. That sticky stench in the heavy humidity, that fishy sewery smell of rot, of regurgitated river-bottom now stagnating in yards and staining living rooms, clinging to every molecule and refusing to budge. No one died, but the smell of decomposition is everywhere.
After Hurricane Matthew last year the piles in front of houses were all tree limbs and shrubbery. You could call it all yard waste. There is some of that today in front of houses, but in smaller, rarer mounds. What saddens, what shocks, what doesn't let up, are those small hills of personal and intimate property that overnight went from cherished comforts to garbage, from storehouses of memories to rubble.
Where power was available, a rarity, fans blew through every entrance as after a fire to dry out the insides. Clothes hung from clotheslines. Residents or people helping them wheel-barrowed back and forth between piles and damage zones. In one driveway on South Flagler, you could glimpse two people hugging for a very long time—again, as if someone, as if something, had died.
Robert Law has lived all his life in the house his father Bob Law built on the Intracoastal, on Lambert Avenue, in 1943. He said he's never seen anything like Monday's floods, which wiped out the first floor of his house, his car, and his motorcycle. A wheelbarrow sits in his house now, part of the clean-up efforts.

"It's a little overwhelming," says Colleen Conklin, the school board member whose house on Ocean Palm, along the golf course at the south end of town, was among a handful that were spared flooding, enabling her and her family to turn their attention to helping others, as they have since Monday. Her parents' and in-laws' houses were not so lucky, nor were the majority of her neighbors' houses.
The houses are still standing. It's not St. Martin or Barbuda. It's not even Key West. Even so, words fail when residents—or reporters—try to describe the extent of losses , comparatively limited though they are.
"Unbelievable. I couldn't believe it. It's just unbelievable," said Robert Law, whose two-story house at 208 Lambert Avenue became one with the Intracoastal all the way up to Lambert: his back yard disappeared after 4 a.m. Monday, washed over all the way to Lambert. He lost everything on the first floor and in his yard, including his car, his motorcycle, his hot tub, his fridge, his furniture. "My freezer was floating around in the house," he said.
His father, Bob Law, who'd once been Flagler Beach's city manager and its chief building official, had built the house in 1943. Robert has been there since 1971. "I've never seen anything like this," he said—a phrase you hear again and again, like a human echo of those piles of lost belongings. He stuck out the storm upstairs after sending his ailing mother, whom h cares for, to Gainesville. His car, his only means of transportation, is done for, so he has no way of bringing her back. "I've got to figure out how to contact FEMA, get help," he said.
Law's story is grimly repeated up and down those four streets and avenues, so much that two Flagler Beach City Commissioners and the city manager, all on South Flagler, were affected by flooding.

Rick McFadden, Flagler Beach's chief building inspector, was patrolling South Flagler this morning, making a visual inventory of the major problem spots. He said the majority of houses in those problem spots got two feet of water or less, which will require dry walls to be torn out up to the four-foot joint line soon, before mold sets in. FEMA sent word, he said, for homeowners not to touch anything until the federal agency can assess the damages in 10 to 15 days. "Well, by that time it's too late for the mold," McFadden said. His recommendation to those already starting the work: take a lot of pictures, but also "make sure when the adjuster comes in, the adjuster can tell it's a picture of that particular area." In other words, the pictures have to show provable context associating the damage with your property.
McFadden is also worried about unlicensed and uninsured contractors who are preying on vulnerable residents, elderly residents especially. Those contractors may come cheaper, but so does the quality of their work—and the risks they take: if an unlicensed contractor is hurt on someone's property, that contractor can sue the homeowner, McFadden said. "And they're the ones who tend to get hurt," McFadden said of those contractors.
At midday today City Commissioner Rick Belhumeur wasn't waiting for FEMA. He has several properties along South Flagler—including the house he rents to City Manager Larry Newsom, plus his own, plus one next door he rents to someone else. He was giving his "drywall guy," Tom Merrill of TRM Drywall, a walk-through the house next door, where the water had gone up just under a foot. All the carpeting had already been torn out. Much of the furniture, all the kitchen cabinets, all the drywall below a certain point was done for. "Obviously, the kitchen is destroyed," Belhumeur said. "I'm probably going to have you work on these two rentals first," he tells Merrill, who thought the drywall could be replaced at the 2-foot mark.

Outside, in front of the house Belhumeur occupies, a pick-up truck with a trailer was backed in, with a brand new refrigerator ready for delivery: Belhumeur's fridge had to be replaced. And there it was, next to that pile of belongings.
He could afford that immediate replacement. Many won't be able to. But that's where a different sort of lifeline has also become even more visible than the piles of lost property: human lifelines, neighbors helping neighbors, strangers streaming in from beyond the stricken areas to lend a hand, offer a place to stay, wash laundry for those who need their damaged clothes cleaned before mold sets in, offer storage space, offer muscle to move furniture, to rip out carpets.
Just listen to the photographer A.J. Neste and his wife Megan, who rent a house on South Flagler with their three young children—ages 7, 5 and 2—and whose property was as devastated as anyone's: they lost around 75 percent of their belongings, a small mountain chain of which sat in front of their house, with more to go. Yet they never spoke as if they'd just lost everything.
"It's hard to be bummed out when so many people step up to help," A.J. said.
Megan said she was initially "a puddle of tears" when she saw the house—the couple and their children had stuck out the storm on 23rd Street, at A.J.'s parents' house—"I'm bawling my eyes out and then I'm, like, come on Megan, put your big boots on and get it done."

It was pretty shocking when we went into the house," she said. "It looked like someone had taken our property and set it into a pond."
But she put on her boots and got it done, with among others Leah Fasano, one of her friends—who lives at 20th Street and South Daytona, and was spared flooding—helping this morning. "Flagler is very unique with the community unity, everyone is coming together," Fasano said.
The Neste's church, Coastal Family Church, was immediately asking them what they needed and made a three-month storage unit available to them. Barbara Revels, the former commissioner and owner of Coquina Real Estate, a contracting business, also the owner of several rentals, made one of her rental properties available to them, as did Helen Kramer, another neighbor down the street, who was offering a house there. The Georgia-based owners of the house the Nestes were renting have also stepped up: they were so grateful that the Nestes had done so much to clean the house—unlike many renters faced with that situation–that they're sending money to compensate them. "A lot of people are leaving," A.J. said of other renters. "That's not what true Flagler people are about. We'd be lost without our friends, that's for sure."
Even the Neste children have helped with their humor: one of the children was gleeful, boating over shortly after the storm—when the entire neighborhood looked like "a boating community," Megan said, with people in boats, canoes, kayaks, and the Nestes themselves in an actual motorboat—and saying of the boat ride: "Can we do this every hurricane?" Seeing the house, the 5-year-old boy then said: "Well, I guess we need a new house." Today, many of his toys were among the things piled up front.
The Nestes aren't done: as they wind down the work on their house, they plan on joining a team of helpers and going to other people's houses and yards to clean them up.
"My husband and I got lucky, but really the biggest reason we've been thankful to have been spared is we have time to help our friends with our resources," Fasano said.

A few houses down, Revels was speaking with Kramer in front of one of the two houses Kramer owns around there—a 1970s house Kramer said did not flood because of the work Revels' contracting did there. "There's not a leak in that house," Kramer said.
Revels was not as lucky, though only her garage flooded, because the rest of the house is elevated. "My house is elevated so my house is fine," Revels said, "but the garage, where I had tons of tools and equipment that I had lifted up—it was not enough. But I'm way better off than all these people with nowhere to go." And so she stepped up and offered the help she could: actual live-in space for those in need.
And she made a telling observation that tells a story all its own: Revels has lived in that house, off the salt marshes, for 30 years. It was 15 years before it first flooded. She'd known three floods before Irma. The first one was 4 to 6 inches. The next two, both in the last eight years, were 12 inches. And this last one? Two and a half feet. "If that doesn't tell you what's happened in the last 10 years…" Revels said, the thought trailing to the obvious.
In other words, if you don't think the rising sea levels have anything to do with it—rising seas because of melting glaciers and ice caps, because of human-induced global warming—just look at Flagler Beach's ecological history from those who've lived it in the past 30 years.
At 12:07 p.m., Revels and Kramer suddenly cheered an clapped: the power had just come back on.

Further south, they were still not that lucky, and they didn't have the huge shading canopy of South Flagler Avenue to shield them from an increasingly punishing sun. It was a scene of toil and sweat and soggy belongings still dripping under the cloudless sky, of oddly moving sights, like Chris Baiata's broken guitar on a pile of lost belongings, or the sign that screamed to the waste-removal folks, "FEMA/INS CLAIMS—DO NOT TAKE YET."
That's the neighborhood where Conklin, the school board member, lives, where just days ago she was boating around to see if anyone needed help, when the water was still thigh-deep in places. She and her family haven't stopped helping since. Today it was a different sort of help.
"It's just kind of trying to bring bins and baskets for people," Conklin said, things for people to carry stuff in, people who never thought they'd have to move, or move anything. But help has been forthcoming. "The support has been amazing, community members have come out, teams of people have come out to help people." Some drop off supplies. Others pick up things that need to get taken away. "Everybody is trying to help where they can right now. We're trying to scrape out mud from neighbors across the street's house. But everybody is helping." Now it's all about those scrapes, the tearing up of carpets and flooring, the emptying of houses' demolished furniture. The next phase, as she sees it, will be more heavy-duty cleaning, bleaching out homes, battling mold. "I'm concerned about the older folks and the mold."
Flagler Beach City Commissioner Kim Carney planned to spend three days outside the 7-Eleven on State Road A1A, downtown Flagler Beach, doing intake for anyone needing post-flood help. Click on the image for larger view. (c FlaglerLive)
That's where people like Kim Carney, the Flagler Beach commissioner, are stepping in. Carney was sitting at a table outside Eric Cooley's 7-Eleven on State Road A1A in downtown Flagler Beach, one of the most heavily trafficked areas in town. Carney can't lift heavy things or move furniture, but when she was helping people register for FEMA assistance at the Flagler County Assistance Center that opened at the county's public library in Palm Coast this morning, she realized she could be doing more effective intake for people in Flagler Beach by placing herself in the middle of town, and helping people most heavily hit with filling out intake forms. The forms were prepared by Flagler County's Volunteer Services, whose volunteers will then organize in teams and respond to those homes to do whatever cleaning up is needed.
"It's not tree debris now, it's house stuff," Carney said. "Anything, debris, house, they'll do anything." Carney will be siting at that table Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, helping to coordinate the effort (and reminding residents: if you're putting damaged goods on the curb, avoid the ditches and swales at all cost: it's still going to rain, and those ditches and swales must be left clear. Avoid the road, too. Placing the stuff in yards is fine. "We'll try to get as many people out as we can," Carney said, and was willing to give out her cell number for anyone who needs guidance: 386/846-5493 (See the form here or below.)
Stories like that are emerging out of Flagler Beach with inventiveness and flair, the way Liz Williams, the Flagler Beach police detective, set up Flagler Storm Swap, a Facebook page for residents to connect and exchange surplus items ("It takes a village and we are that village," she wrote in an introductory post), the way Scott Spradley, the attorney, is offering to fly his drone above the properties of people who have not yet made it home, and send them the video so they can see for themselves how their houses fared.
So it's been all day in those terribly hit areas of Flagler Beach. No, it's not the Antilles, it's not utter destruction, but there's a point where the hierarchy of loss loses its meaning, when losing a house's interiors can be just as poignant as losing a house, whose walls and roof are not there for their own sake after all, but to protect those interiors.
Still and yet, the words so often heard are those Megan Neste spoke to her young daughter about her lost toys: "It's just stuff."
"I know we're not the only ones," Megan said, standing by her mountain of loss. "Flagler Beach has a lot of people who have been affected. We're trying to stay positive, being uplifted by friends and prayers. It's been amazing, the community coming together."
Flagler Beach's icon is its pier, which powered through Irma unscathed. But at least these days, Flagler Beach's icon is the phoenix–nesting, most likely, on the pier.

So sad for those who lost everything. Drove around today and saw so much destruction. God bless those who were in imra's path. ♥
Jane Rousseau says:
What a wonderful heartfelt story of a community coming together in the wake of such devastation. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!! ♡
Chris Willis says:
Right across the street from us…so sad..was great to see all the cars there today, people helping people! God is Good!
Oh dear God says:
Prayers to the people🙏Stay strong. You will get thru this💞
Ellen Karp-BendNa says:
Thanks for a great story….here at Surfside Estates, many folks could use a helping haand with cleanup. We are a 55+ community that was devastated last year with Mathew, and now with Irma. lots of debris needs picking up, tarps and generators…thanks!
When this people who live at the ocean get flooded you can't feel sorry for them….this is expected beachside and yet people continue to move and live there. We can also recognize that some if the flooding around the county is the same places we have seen flood before AND LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT DRAINAGE ISSUES. This storm was not all that bad; imagine what a 3-4 or catagory 5 storm would do here. As I drive down A1A a couple days ago I was flabbergasted that local officials have scooped sand off the road ways and dumped it on the vegatition that existed now killing it!! How ignorant can one be? It's just a matter of time that north A1A washes out. How many snobs in the Hammock got their scenic highway washed up? It's deadsville along those road ways….now it's time to build so more suckers can come.
Whoever wrote this article obviously didn't visit areas like Marineland Acres after Matthew last year. Does this look like yard waste?

All of our hearts go out to those who sustained these terrible losses. It's easy for me to say, sitting in one of the higher and drier spots in Palm Coast, but how can anyone say, "We lost everything?" They didn't lose family, they didn't lose friends, thank God! They didn't lose love or their capacity to love. They didn't lose their neighborlyness. They. didn't lose their sense of community or their sense of responsibility one to another. They don't seem to have lost their vision of a better tomorrow. They didn't lose their integrity or their ability to distinguish right from wrong. They haven't lost their thirst for justice and righteousness. They have all the things that matter. They haven't lost the admiration of all of us who have learned of their plight. Who wouldn't want to live in a community with people like these?
Looks like A1A last October after Matthew.
Comeback to house Tue. to find house flooded porch and carport destroyed, other damages. Wed. told by surgeon that baseball size cancer inoperatable estimate six months as best estimat I could get. Guess there Is a point. my only comment Is some ones timing sucks.
Dear "anonymous" please do stay that way. . . "anonymous". Those who are suffering with heart breaking losses do not need to read your words. . . so filled with fear, anger and negativity. I will try to have compassion for you because your empty heart and soul is suffering much more than those who have only lost "material" things.
Dear Merrill. . . you are so right! Most of us are fortunate in our love of our neighbors, friends, family, community and country. There is a shining vision of a better tomorrow.
There is the "hope" that our political leaders will have "learned the lesson" and will have the courage to listen to the "scientific facts" regarding "climate change". Our nation could and should now step up and "lead" the entire planet to a "safer" future. AMERICANS can do ANYTHING! When we are "UNITED" we can change the world and make it a better place!
Dear Kim Carney,
Knowing you. . . I'm not surprised by your generous help hand to the community. Well Done Kim! You set a great example of how to be a true community leader!
Jolene dehart says:
Gee my gazillion dollar home on a tiny piece of land between the ocean and the intercoastal in a state that is a giant sandbar and is SINKING got whacked AGAIN by another YEARLY hurricane. Duh.
Some people are real A-Holes, sorry to say they were not affected by Irma. Now is not the time to knock people down but try to help them.
It's just material things that insurance will cover, as humans we should learn to have less materialistic items, Florida was made to flood n recover, it's jus water
@ Ellen Karp. I spent all day there moving debris. Gary and I will be tarping as many roofs as we can tomorrow. I saw Mr Tristam cruising the area in the Flagler Live mobile around 1 pm today so you haven't been forgotten.
My heart goes out to all who have been affected by Irma. Many of those affected are close friends. It is great to see so many in the community come together, buckle down and overcome this disaster.
As a counterpoint to the rising sea levels being the cause of the high floodwaters, I would categorize it as a "100 year flood". Please take the time to look at the FEMA flood map layer available on the Flagler County Property Appraiser's website, http://flaglerpa.com/, the flood zones AE and X very accurately predict the flooding I saw along south Flagler Avenue. I would call this event the "100 year" flood that has a 1% chance of happening in any given year over one century. If this becomes a recurring event, then we will have more than one local data point to start basing rising sea level hypotheses on.

If you are in one of the ten states that have Total Wine & More stores, be sure to get on their mailing list for some pretty decent coupons. Every few weeks they send out a coupon that gets you $2 off a six pack or a 22-ounce beer priced at $6.99 or more (up to four six-packs and/or 12 bottles). That affords a great chance to try those pricier boutique beers you may have been eyeing.
Here's six that I picked up for future reviews, saving $2 each. Hey, 12 bucks is 12 bucks. Total Wine takes its coupons very literally, so if the coupon says $2 off 22-ounce beers, don't you dare show up with a 28-ounce beer and expect the discount. No, I didn't do that, but I did show up with a six pack assortment and the cashier fought me on it. I won of course.

'Moonage Daydream' director Brett Morgen: making David Bowie documentary was like "walking across hot coals"
By Nicholas Barber2022-12-05T15:01:00+00:00
Brett Morgen soon realised the scale of his task, distilling David Bowie's vast archive for an immersive dive into the chameleonic musician's life. He tells Screen how he finally found his way to make global hit Moonage Daydream.

One of the themes running through Brett Morgen's David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream is the musician subject's belief that artists should get out of their comfort zones and skate on the thinnest possible ice. Morgen did all of that while he was making the film — but that wasn't how he planned it.
"The whole structure around me was chaotic," he says with a rueful smile. "Everything was messed up, everything was broken. A fellow filmmaker mentioned to me recently that she was going off to a refugee camp. She said, 'I don't get the privilege of spending years on David Bowie.' I was like, 'You have no idea!' It was not a luxury. It was kind of like walking across hot coals."
Initially, Morgen had another project in mind, a series of short Imax films for science museums. Each film in The Imax Music Experience would be an "immersive sound and light show" that would bathe viewers in the music and imagery of a different rock star. In 2015, Hartwig Masuch, CEO of BMG Rights Management, agreed to finance 15 of these 40-minute films. But when Morgen approached Bowie's estate, they offered him unrestricted use of the singer's personal archive of interview and concert footage — and "the idea of doing 40 minutes just went out of the window". The Imax Music Experience was forgotten; a feature-length Bowie film was underway.
Morgen was still more or less in his comfort zone. He had made several award-winning documentaries, including 2002's The Kid Stays In The Picture, and two in the last decade had been about rock icons: Crossfire Hurricane (about The Rolling Stones) in 2012 and Cobain: Montage Of Heck (about Nirvana's Kurt Cobain) in 2015. He knew what he needed to do. Once he had read and watched everything he could find on Bowie, he would spend four months screening the estate's archive material, and one week writing a screenplay. The snag was, there was far too much material to screen in four months. "That not only extended the amount of time I needed, it meant we had to spend an enormous amount of money on assistant editors and extra employees and extra Avids to log and digitise all that material. It was insane."
It was two years before Morgen had finished screening everything in the Bowie vault. Now he had to start work on his script. He had always avoided the conventions of biographical documentaries: "There are no dates or chyrons [captions] in any of my films. I don't think knowing the name of an album or the year it was released brings you any closer to a truth." But this time he was determined to go further, honouring his original "sound and light show" concept by blasting off on a psychedelic journey through Bowie's artistic and spiritual development. This proved to be easier said than done.
"I realised very quickly that I wasn't the right person for the job," he says, "and they probably should have found someone with more experience in non-linear abstract art. I didn't know how to write an 'experience' without a biographical thread to pursue. But at the point I realised that, I had blown through the budget, I was four years into the project, and none of my financiers had seen one frame."
That budget came in at $5.4m, with HBO joining BMG in 2017 to help with financing, and then Live Nation Entertainment boarding as an equity partner in 2018.
Every morning, Morgen would drive to his office in Los Angeles and write "long, indulgent essays about themes that David explored — mortality, chaos, fragmentation, Einstein, Joyce, Nietzsche and the reconstruction of our belief system". But none of this writing resulted in a single page of usable screenplay. Eventually, after eight fruitless months, he recalled some "Bowie-isms" about the value of movement and changing your environment.
He drove to Los Angeles International Airport, flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico and caught a train back to Los Angeles, promising himself that he would not disembark without a script in his hands. "By the time I got back to LA the next morning," he says, "the structure was in place." And how long was the train journey? "It was 19 hours. Eight months and 19 hours."
Then came the editing. The problem was that, having poured most of the budget into preparing the archive material, Morgen could not afford to hire the help of an editor or a producer. There are 12 executive producers listed in the credits of Moonage Daydream, among them four from the Bowie estate, three from BMG and three from Live Nation. But none of them were involved in the day-to-day production, so Morgen had to do everything single-handedly, on his own equipment in his own office.
"Try taking a holiday when you know you're already two or three years behind schedule," he says, "and every minute you're not working on the film, you're adding another minute to that." The pandemic deepened his sense of isolation. "I felt like a hostage. That was where it was batshit crazy."
The craziest part was that back in 2017, just before his "deep dive" into the Bowie archive, Morgen had a heart attack that left him in a coma for a week. "A lot of the reporting has made it seem like I was working so hard on this film that I had a heart attack," he says. "That was not what happened at all. I had been working on everything else, had a heart attack — and then I had to start this! I did not start this project like, 'I've been working out, I'm in great shape for this marathon.' I was already fucking fragile."

'Moonage Daydream'
Risk and reward
Nonetheless, Morgen counts the making of Moonage Daydream as "the most rewarding creative experience of my career". And after everything he went through, "The fact that there was something legible at the end of it that someone could watch for two hours and 15 minutes felt like a massive victory unto itself."
Moonage Daydream turned out to be more than "legible". It was sold to Universal for international territories and Neon for North America in November 2021, premiering at Cannes this May to glowing reviews. Morgen was "wildly surprised" by the reaction, but not as cheered as he was when the film went on general release four months later.
"One of the challenges was to prepare audiences for something which doesn't present information in a manner we are accustomed to when we hear 'music documentary'," he says. "I think Universal and Neon did a tremendous job with the marketing and the positioning of the film — especially Universal, who did it in 40 different territories with 40 different cultures. The most gratifying aspect of the seven years was seeing the response on social media on opening weekend. People were not saying, 'What the fuck is this?' It seemed like everyone got it and everyone was reading it in the way it was designed to be read."
Moonage Daydream has since grossed $11.8m at cinemas worldwide — so maybe the chaos was worth it. "From the moment I said I wanted to do documentaries in 1989," agrees Morgen, "my entire career pursuit has been to create theatrical non-fiction experiences that would entertain audiences in cinemas. To have my biggest commercial success on this film has been beyond my dreams."

I often tell people that I walked into multi-ethnic ministry the way Jonah walked into Memphis, and that's not a good thing. After a few sleepless nights in less than five star accommodations, Jonah made his entrance into Nineveh angry. His unrighteous indignation is understandable. As a Jew he's a part of a people who were being oppressed, and in a gracious twist of irony, God uses Jonah to usher in revival among his oppressors. Seething over their salvation, the book of Jonah crash-lands, as the prophets anger has metastasized into bitterness.
In my recent book, Right Color/Wrong Culture, I argue that at the highest levels of any organization that is aspiring to trend towards diversity, there must be what I call C2 leadership. A C2 leader is one who is able to relate to various cultures without losing their identity. But there's more. Redemptive C2 leadership refuses to lead out of anger or bitterness, choosing instead to lead out of our most precious relational resource- love.
If I could go back in time and give my 20 something year old self a good talking to, I would say that it's impossible to lead people you are suspicious of, angry towards or bitter with. Jonah might have seen results as a prophet, but he would have made a horrible pastor.
Maybe this is why God pulled the plug on Moses' ministry. Moses' striking of the rock was the expression of unrighteous anger, and it's impossible to lead God's people well while being angry or bitter towards those very same people. So God said, "Time's up Moses".
As an African American man who has spent most of his ministry years leading in majority white contexts, I've learned the hard way that an angry, suspicious, guilty-until-proven-innocent disposition is a recipe for failed leadership. Not only is it not inspiring, but it's cancerous to the team, dishonoring to God, manipulative and outright sinful. If these bitter waters are not addressed in a minority leaders soul he or she will find themselves headed for burnout, and tearing up their ministry context in the process. So how do we move towards loving, redemptive C2 leadership?
1. You must answer the question, Am I called to multi-ethnic ministry? If you are then it's time to stop striking the rock. No more grumbling or complaining. If you are called to multi-ethnic ministry then there's no room for using race in manipulative ways to play into the white guilt of our brothers and sisters we are called to serve alongside of.
2. Are you experiencing genuine, life-giving community with the majority group you are called to serve? I'm the only black man in my Monday morning men's group. Immersing myself in the lives of these men has helped to soften the hardened edges that I once had towards my white brothers and sisters. I love these men.
3. Are you loving the majority group in tangible ways that they can feel? For me this starts with prayer. I remember some years ago writing up a prayer card that said, "Lord help me to love white people in ways they can feel," and then I wrote out John 13:34-35. Here's what I discovered: It's next to impossible to be harsh or condemning with people you are constantly praying for.
Let's not end like Jonah, in bitterness. I want to grow softer and sweeter in my leadership the older I get. I want to be more loving and kind. I hope you do too.

West Memphis 3 case: Lawyer says crucial evidence has been found
by: David Royer, Shay Arthur, Nexstar Media Wire
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) – The legal team for one of the defendants in the infamous West Memphis 3 case said Wednesday that evidence believed to have been lost in the case has been found at the West Memphis, Arkansas police department.
Lawyers for defendant Damien Echols said in a news release that they'd been working for 18 months to gain access to evidence in the 1993 murder case that they believed may exonerate three men, but received no cooperation from city officials and were told it was missing, lost or damaged.
Learn more about the West Memphis 3
Attorney Patrick Benca said after a state court order, he was allowed to visit the West Memphis Police Department and found the evidence, intact and organized.
The next step is to get this evidence DNA tested with new technology called M-VAC to possibly clear the names of Jason Baldwin, Jesse Misskelley and Damien Echols, who were all behind bars for nearly 18 years, with Echols once on death row.
"We are pleased that the evidence is intact. We are planning to move ahead and test this evidence using the latest DNA technology available to hopefully identify the real killer(s) of the three children in 1993, and exonerate Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley," Benca said in a statement.
Lonnie Soury of Arkansas Take Action said they began to worry once they were told there was no evidence of the case.
"What even worried us more was we started hearing from these officials that the evidence had been destroyed, lost or mishandled," Soury said. "Rumors that it had been lost in a fire. It was very confusing and a very sad state of development."
Soury also said although DNA testing is expensive, it will not stop their process of clearing the "West Memphis Three's" names.
"Of course, it is expensive to test DNA and providing the law enforcement, authorities in Crittenden County don't stand in our way," he said.
In 2012, all three men in the case – Echols, Misskelley Jr. and Baldwin – were released when they made a deal with prosecutors called an Alford plea, meaning they pleaded guilty but maintained their innocence.
Defendants in the West Memphis 3 case: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley (WREG)
Victims in the West Memphis 3 case: Chris Byers, Michael Moore and Steve Branch (WREG)
Michael Pope, the chief of the West Memphis Police Department, unexpectedly resigned Tuesday, effective at the end of this week. His resignation letter said he was pursuing other opportunities.
Echols made a statement on Twitter saying the chief was "not truthful."
"He has now resigned, and we know that none of the evidence was destroyed. It can now be tested, to see who left DNA at the crime scene. My attorney was in the evidence room this morning and saw it with his own eyes. Every piece is still there," Echols said.
West Memphis police chief resigns after 6 months
West Memphis Mayor Marco McClendon said the evidence that was found has nothing to do with Pope's sudden resignation as police chief and the city is committed to doing its part in the case.
"We will comply with any lawful requests that are made for this case," McClendon said.
As far as a timeline for when the testing could happen, Soury says they're ready, and they want it to happen as soon as possible.
The bodies of the 8-year-old victims — Chris Byers, Michael Moore and Steve Branch — were found in a ditch in the Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis in 1993 after they were reported missing. The bodies had been tied with shoelaces.

Under 14's Rugby League
After two cancellations due to wet weather, the Under 14 Rugby League team got their opportunity to play in the Central Coast All School Roosters Cup on Tuesday 2 July at Morrie Breen Oval, Kanwal.
A cold but very sunny day greeted the boys at the picturesque facilities. The format for the day involved games of 10 minute halves, with a short break in between. We were drawn in Pool B and played round games against Wadalba High School (winning 34-0) and St Brigid's Catholic College (winning 38-0). In both games the boys had all the running and scored some spectacular team tries. The turning point for the day, came in our last pool game against a very big Wyong High School team. Poor discipline and trying too hard as individuals, saw us move away from what we had been doing well earlier and the dreaded 'frustration' crept in. To their credit, Wyong was able to take advantage of a glut of possession and draw the game 16-16, late in the second half.
A quiet chat and some minor adjustments to our starting team, led to a renewed enthusiasm in our approach as we moved into the semi finals against Terrigal High School. Intensity in defence early, saw us take two intercept passes that led to Aymn Hamilton and Harry Bates scoring runaway tries. From there we seemed to click, and the boys piled on some terrific team tries to win convincingly 34-0.
Our grand final against MacKillop Catholic College had the added bonus, of the winning team progressing in both the NSW State Finals and the Cochrane Cup. When a MacKillop player dropped the ball from the kick-off, our boys took control of the game and raced in a brace of team tries to win comfortably 42-0.
Our Central Coast Champions now play the Newcastle/Hunter winner in the next round of the Cochrane Cup in Week 1 next Term (Cochrane Cup – Thursday 25 July, 9:30 am, St Joseph's Aberdeen at Baddeley Park, Cessnock). They also play in the NSWRL – All Schools on Thursday 8 August.
The team consisted of: Tyrone Dorrell, Aymn Hamilton, Zak Zibara, Dylan Day, Harry Bates, Kieran Diamond, Gabe Stuart, Mason Stafford, Malachi Smith, Will Hodder, Kyle White, Zane Dale, Jack Legge, Jackson Herbert, Tom Breen, Atticus Fotofili, Aidan Deacon, Luke Marsters, Leroy Carter-Mason and Jacob Hassen.
I would also like to thank Mackenzie Zammit and Nate McLean from the Year 11 Sport Coaching class, who assisted the boys on the day.


When you're camping, eating is pretty paramount. For one thing, hiking around with (or even without) a 35-pound (15-kilogram) pack on your back will make you work up an appetite for something more filling than raisins. For another, there isn't a whole lot to do in the forest once the sun starts to slip behind the trees. So, you might as well use that last bit of daylight to cook something warm and delicious to eat around the campfire. Thank goodness there's a lot of great cooking gear out there to make being a camp chef an entertaining culinary experiment.
As with most camping equipment, cooking tools come in a variety of shapes, sizes and prices. Outdoor stores and online retailers offer dozens of stoves, pots, cutlery pieces, dishes and cleaning supplies designed to meet a variety of needs. What gear you choose will depend on certain factors -- like the types of meals you'll be cooking and the size of the group you'll be feeding. And then there's the biggest determining factor -- whether you'll be car camping or backpacking. Experts recommend that hikers carry no more than 15 to 25 percent of their total body mass on their backs, so every ounce you can shave from the weight of your cooking tools will help you meet that goal (and reduce the agony you'll experience on an uphill climb) [source: Curtis].


With the election of Donald Trump in the United States, observers have been watching for a change in US policy towards Haiti. The US has been seen as backing Moïse and his predecessor Martelly since Hillary Clinton's intervention in the 2010-2011 elections led to Martelly's presidency. Yesterday, however, the Trump administration announced a delegation to Haiti for Moïse's inauguration consisting of Thomas Shannon, Kenneth Merten and current ambassador Peter Mulrean, three Obama-era State Department holdovers. Also accompanying them was Omarosa Manigault, a communications advisor to Trump and former reality TV star.


How To Choose The Best Type Of A Foundation We have a number of things to be considered when it comes to choosing a foundation. Keep in mind that this is the area of the home that holds the entire house together. You will find that when looking at the way the foundation is built then you will be able to get the right foundation. You have to consider a number of these things when it comes to the way the foundation is done. You need to consider the foundation which is done in the right depth. You will find that the frost may damage the building and being deep keep it away. You will find that scouring can happen and building it deep enough will help in preventing that in any way. You will find that this will help in holding any kind of pressure that may come from it in any way. Before you get to choosing the floors ensure that you know the number of floors the building has. It will be in this way that you will be able to avoid the burden that the building may have. You will come across some foundations which tend to destroy the bigger structure. It will be in this case that you will be able to get one that is easy to settle. Ensure that you will be able to have the kind that is able to last you longer and even stronger in this case. The foundation being underneath the ground is exposed to many chemicals and only the strong materials are able to survive. Find the best kind that will not deteriorate easily from any kind of an attack exposed to it.
You will find that this will be the best strength available and also will offer the building the best support available. You will find that the strength of the load is quite important in ensuring that the load placed on it will not be able to break it. The best way to do this is by using the ideal architect who is able to give you the best design required for the design of the house.
Soils tend to undergo different changes over a period of time. This could be due to the expansion and contraction that goes underneath the earth. Ensure that you will be able to get the foundation that will help in holding any external pressure that may come with it in that case. This is because the foundation is able to cause movements which may easily lead to damaging the structure in that case. You may find that in some areas there may be earthquakes which engender the structure.

Hazzard Square
By HossC, April 3, 2011 in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion

Fan of the Month - October '10/April '18
Whilst working on my recent Fan Art project, Buildings of Hazzard, I realised how many changes take place to the stores and other buildings around Hazzard Square. I thought we could have some fun recording the changes.
Most of us know that after the Georgia episodes Hazzard Square relocated to the back lot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Below are 2 different views of the square as it is now. I have numbered the buildings for reference purposes. As you can see, the square hasn't changed that much, notable exceptions are: building 10 has been re-clad; buildings 16, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are totally different and have been rebuilt since Dukes.
The following buildings stay the same in virtually every episode:
3. Bank of Hazzard (Boss's Bank)
4. Barber Shop
7. Drug Store, Ice Cream Parlor & Bus Stop
11. Hazzard County US Post Office
13. Hotel
18. Hazzard County Gospel Church
20. Boss Hogg's House
22. Cooter's Garage (now rebuilt as a house)
23. Rhuebottom's General Store (now rebuilt as a house)
24. O'Connor Paint Supply (no longer there)
32. Hazzard County Court House
33. Hazzard Police Station
Others only change a few times, but are usually one of the following:
8. Theater/Hazzard Theater/Hazzard Picture Palace
9. Hazzard County Telephone Company/Hazzard County Telephone and Telegraph Co.
10. Seth M. Berley & Co./Furniture Mart/Hazzard Emporium/J.D. Hogg Furniture Mart
12. Joe's Hardware/Hazzard Hardware & Sporting Goods
I have many more to add, and screengrabs to illustrate the changes, but my list in nowhere near complete so please feel free to jump in and add any other businesses you spot. If a business only appears briefly (one or two episodes) please try to give the episode(s) you see it in (and a screengrab if you have that ability). If you are not sure where the business is, give as much information as you can and I'm sure, between us, we can identify it.

Wow, this is awesome!
When I get a little more time I've got to check this out in more detail.
Thanks so much for posting this Hoss. You're great!
Considering how sad I've been lately about seeing the original farm in Georgia come down, it's nice to see how good the California Hazzard looks.
Here's our first look at Cooter's (#22 on the aerial views) from 'Swamp Molly'. Thanks to Ben Jones's efforts it stayed fairly much the same throughout all 7 seasons. Sadly, as mentioned above, this building has been replaced.
From the same episode, and next to Cooter's, is a very clean looking Rhuebottom's (#23) with a very clean looking Uncle Jesse truck outside. I think Rhuebottom's remained a constant fixture throughout all 7 seasons, although its appearance changed (as I will document in the future). Again this building has been replaced.
Beside Rhuebottom's is Carol's Jewelry. This business seems to have no entrance, and I think 'Swamp Molly' was the only episode it appears in (I may correct myself later). O'Connor Paint Supply (#24) is just past Carol's. As I pointed out in this thread, this is merely a facade with nothing behind it.
By 'The Big Heist' (2 episodes later) Carol's Jewelry has gone and Rhuebottom's is looking much dirtier. The impound yard where Neil Bishop's car gets towed to is just off the right side of this picture.

Wow, this is fantastic Hoss!
It would definitely be a shame if WB ever tore down that lot. I would think they wouldn't since it's pretty historic for the studio and was used going back at least to the 1950s. I can distinctly recall an episode of "Maverick" and James Garner in a scene on the street infront of the bank.
There's also a scene in the Burt Reynolds movie "Hooper" that I'm pretty sure was filmed on this lot at the gazebo.
Isn't building 21 the boarding house, where Enos lived?
I'll have to check that out, I've got it around here somewhere. I do know that I caught myself watching a bit of 'Gilmore Girls' a couple of weeks back, just because I knew it was filmed here. Luckily the square showed up about 5 minutes in and my curiosity was satisfied .
I believe it is, but I haven't got a screengrab of it yet. Feel free to post one yourself. I'm hoping this thread will include a lot of pictures, so apologies to anyone on dial-up.
Here's the next set from season 1. This time buildings 7 to 12.
Building #7 originally had a sign saying 'Pharmacy'. This screengrab is from 'The Big Heist'. It would later change to 'Drug Store'. Next door is building #8 (although buildings 7 & 8 are clearly one building) . During season 1 this was painted white and simply signed 'Theatre ***'. The British English spelling of theatre surprised me, but apparently the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) spell it that way (I assume these aren't the guys currently enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya). The usual US spelling was later used when it became 'Hazzard Theater'.
Building #9 was initially 'Julius Berg'. I think the window text says 'Attorney At Law'. The sign is visible in 'The Big Heist', but I couldn't get a clear grab until 'Double Sting'. This building would become the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'.
Building #10 virtually always sold furniture, here in its first incarnation as 'Furniture Mart'. There is a name on the left of the sign, but I've never managed to read it. It looks like it starts 'Mc C...'. This sign alternates with 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' in the early seasons. Building #11 is already the post office, although the curtains change color regularly and opening times and posters in the window come and go. Between these 2 buildings is an entrance marked 'USO'.
Finally on this block is building #12. The signs in the window say 'Fanny's Fabrics'. This store later gets better signage before becoming a hardware store. The post office is also clearer in this grab. The window signage was much larger here than in later seasons.
Buildings 4, 5 and 6 are shown here in a grab from 'The Big Heist'. Building #4 seems to be called 'Fletchers', as can be seen from the inset image taken from another angle. Building #5 starts out as 'Rick's Pool Room and Lounge'. This signage is seen in several episodes. Only a small part of building #6 is shown here, the full sign (visible later in the episode) says 'Dan's Auto Supplies'.
A closer shot of the same scene reveals that building #4 is in fact the 'Poodle Parlor'. Who'd have guessed that Hazzard had one of them, I don't remember it being involved in any stories.
By 'Double Sting' (5 episodes later) building #4 still carries the 'Fletchers' sign but has become 'Pauline's Poodle Parlor'. Hazzard Bank (#3) is also visible on the left.
Building #1 has its first business in 'Money To Burn'. The signage says 'Rutherford's Mens Wear'. Like the Poodle Parlor I think this was purely background and never used in a show. The chase involving the Tri-Counties car shown here and the Duke boys in the hearse goes past buildings 26-30. The Tri-Counties car demolishes the front of one of these (#29 I think) which seems to be the 'Surplus Store', although I could only get very blurry grabs of this. It's the only building in this row that has a name on it.
In 'Deputy Dukes' Hazzard Square got its first acting role, playing the part of Springville. Several of the stores were redressed and the roads were covered in mud (I wouldn't have fancied cleaning up afterwards). First is building #3, usually the bank in Hazzard, but in Springville it's the Springville Hotel (the pickup truck is the same one used by Swamp Molly).
Building #4 has been changed to a hardware store. When the car chase approaches from the other direction it looks like the name is 'L & S Hardware' (see inset at top), but the name only appears briefly. Building #5 is still 'Rick's Pool Room' and building #6 is not seen.
Working along the row, buildings 7, 8 and 9 (Pharmacy, Theatre and Julius Berg) are the same as previous pictures, although the theatre now has the familiar ticket booth at the front. Building #10 is another hardware store.
In Springville, building #11 (usually the post office) is 'Jim's Florist'. I didn't see a name on building #12, but there is a 'For Lease' sign in the window (not shown here).
Everything's back to normal for 'Route 7-11'. Sorry about the blurry nature of the first shot, it's the best I could get. Jesse and Daisy (Yancy Peckinpaugh and Betty-Lou) are walking past building #12. It's hard to read the signage, but I think it says 'Dry Goods'.
We also get our first look at some other buildings around the square. Building #15 makes it's debut as 'Hotel Metropole'.
This end of the square has been re-developed since Dukes, and the original building #16 has now been replaced by a taller, longer structure that virtually closes off this corner of the square. Here's Rosco spying from the old building (it appears in the background in many other episodes, but I'm not sure if it's used again).
Most of the scenes with the semi truck at the square were filmed behind building 16. The area is still a car park, but has changed somewhat over the years. This picture is looking back at the square and shows the loading bay at the back of the church that I labelled #17 on the map. I'll return to this in the future. On the right of this picture is another look at building #15 from a different angle. The building to the left of the church is #19, but I don't think the one between that and the truck ever gets used (hence I didn't number it, although it's still there today).
Onto season 2 now, and these first grabs are from 'Gold Fever'. Dan's Auto Supplies has gone, and Victor's Bail Bonds has taken its place in building #6 (it's not too clear here, but I have a better image of this to come later). Also in this picture is a side view of building #7, showing that as well as being a drug store it is also an ice cream parlor and the bus stop. On the front the sign now says 'Drug Store' instead of 'Pharmacy' - there were no clear shots in this episode, so I'll add them later.
'Fanny's Fabrics' in building #12 now has better signage on the windows (looks like the dry goods store didn't last long). I have a close-up to come later. On the other side of the alley, building #13 has now become an unnamed hotel.
Just a long shot here showing buildings #13 - #18. The one at the back, behind the white truck, is the one Rosco was spying from in 'Route 7-11'. As previously mentioned, this has now been replaced by a larger building.
This is Bo and Luke climbing across the roof of building #3 (the bank). In the upstairs windows is signage for 'Gordon & Lowell' - more attouneys at law. When you know the square's layout it makes you wonder how the boys climb across roofs at one side of the square and somehow jump down onto Cooter's at the other. This happens again in 'The Meeting'.
One last picture from 'Gold Fever'. I got a better shot of the furniture store, and I think the name is 'McDermott's' (NB. I have tweaked the contrast and color balance to try to get it clearer). To the left, 'Julius Berg' has now become the more familiar 'Hazzard County Telephone Company' (I'll post a clearer picture later).
Here's the closer shot of 'Fanny's Fabrics' (building #12) I promised in the last post. This is from 'The Meeting'.
Also from 'The Meeting' is the General by a 'Road Closed' sign. This is taken between buildings #18 (the church) and #19.
This shot shows the familar front of the 'Drug Store', although the 'Bus Stop' signs have disappeared. The 'Theatre' (UK spelling) has become the 'Hazzard Theater' (US spelling). In the background on the left is building #4 which has changed from the 'Poodle Parlor' in season 1 to the 'Barber Shop'. All of these are visible in the earlier episode 'Gold Fever', but only in the background. They all stay relatively the same throughout season 2, although a pay phone or phone booth is usually outside the theater (can be either side) and a blue sign is sometimes present on the wall between the drug store and the theater.
In 'Road Pirates' Bo and Luke visit Colonial City, however the loading bay is actually at the back of the church on Hazzard Square (marked #17 on the map). There is a wider view above in the post relating to 'Route 7-11'. The building in the background of the first picture is the same building that is in the background of the 'Road Closed' shot above. This loading bay gets used in a couple of other episodes that I'll show in the future.
Now, from 'The Ghost of General Lee', another example of strange continuity when you know the layout of the square. I've set it like a storyboard to demonstrate:
A) General Lee leaves the impound garage, now located in building #31 (that's buildings #1 and #2 opposite).
As it exits it crashes into Rosco's car as if they've just left Cooter's (#22).
C) Rosco hits a fire hydrant outside building #31
D) (A little later in the chase) A car reverses out from the impound garage.
E) Rosco has to swerve to avoid the reversing car (note that the fire hydrant has gone, but the road is still wet from the previous stunt).
F) Rosco crashes through the doors of the impound garage.
G) Rosco exits the impound garage by crashing through the same doors (shot from a different angle and framed differently).
H) Rosco crashes into the furniture store (#10) as if he was coming from the direction of the church.
In 'Arrest Jesse Duke' the car strippers run 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' from building #1.
This shot shows Bo, Luke and Daisy pulling up at the side of the store.
This is the back entrance to the auto parts store. I'm pretty sure it's not at the back of building #1. The impound yard from season 1 (near building #24) had a corrugated steel fascia similar to this, so it may have been filmed there.
The chase away from the auto parts store goes down the road past Boss's house. We don't ususally get to see this far down the road due to the sound stage at the end of it!.

I love this thread Hoss!

I love it! Thanks so fun for sharing all of this.
I'll start this post with the better picture of 'Victor's Bail Bonds' that I promised a while back. This is building #6. I think someone came through this door in one episode even though there is nothing behind the façade (some buildings like the bank and post office have interiors that can be used for filming - this one doesn't).
This shot shows what is beyond the alley between buildings 12 and 13 (Bo is being chased by Hughie in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'). Car chases often appear/disappear here, but we don't get a clear look like this very often.
Another unusual angle in the same alley here, this time looking out towards the church. I have inset the sign for the 'Hotchkiss Funeral Home' which is on the door just off the left of this shot. The wall on the left is the side of the hotel. Even though season 2 started out with a 'Hotel' sign on the front of this building, it was missing a couple of episodes later, only to reappear again in the next episode.
When Bo, Luke and Daisy go to investigate who's behind 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' they enter the County Building through this side door. This is actually the spot marked #31 on the map, the same building that served as the door to the Impound Garage in 'The Ghost of General Lee' (see above) - they just did a good job re-dressing it.
Building #31 sees a lot of changes in season 2. The doorway seen in the last post has disappeared by 'Duke of Duke' and the impound yard is back, although with wire gates instead of wooden doors. This is the scene where Bo, Luke and Gaylord are painting the road signs.
These next 2 pictures show Daisy on her way to meet the boys with her food hamper. The first shows a sign for 'Jean Paré Cosmetics'.
The second gives the store name as 'City Drugs'. The phone booth and 'Hazzard County Gazette' newspaper stand frequently appear outside Hazzard Theater.
Initially I wasn't sure where this store was located, but then 'Officer Daisy Duke' came to my rescue. Daisy gives Boss a parking ticket outside this store and there are enough clues to identify it as building #26 (just across the road from Rhuebottom's). The store also sells 'Darleen Perfume' and has a sign saying 'Snack Shop'.
I'm starting this post with a mystery building. At the end of 'Duke of Duke' we see the 'State Courthouse'. It's a large building that I can't find in the current WB backlots. If anyone knows where the building is, please let us know.
Here's a longer shot. The building on the right appears to be just a façade, indicating that it's a movie set rather than on location.
Moving on to 'The Runaway', we finally get a clear look at the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'. This changes very little between episodes, although it's sometimes the 'Hazzard Telephone & Telegraph Co.' and occasionally has a Western Union sign on the window.
Just for a change I thought I'd include an interior shot. Here we see telephone operator Mabel/Myrtle Tillingham talking to C.J. Holmes' men. The one closest to the camera is Lance 'Col. Decker' LeGault.
Hmmm! I'm stumped on that State Courthouse building. My first thought is it's county courthouse redressed, because those doors look dang familiar. LOL. I would then assume the facade on the side was placed there temporarily to make it look really different.
Might have to dig out the DVDs and take a closer look!
By the way, Hoss, I'm totally diggin' this thread.
Hmmm, I wouldn't know where it is in "WB backlots"
Where is it on the episode...Capitol City?
CDoherty95 12
Fan of the Month - August '11
If I'm not mistaken it is also redressed as a hospital in season 5 episode Welcome Back,Bo and Luke.
And this is a great thread,HossC.Thanks for taking so much time and putting so much effort into it.You're a true and strong Duke fan in my opinion
In the episode it is 'the county seat at Coreyville'.
You're right, it is used as 'Central City General' in the 'Welcome Back, Bo and Luke'. I have a picture, but I'll save it until I reach that episode.
I'm trying to keep these posts roughly in chronological order, so I'd thought I'd mention the street scene in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. It was filmed on location in Piru, California. You can check out how the town looks today on Google Maps. The junction of Main Street and Center Street is still recognizable. At the eastern end of Center Street is the bridge used in 'Luke's Love Story' in season 1. It has now been bypassed by new bridge, but is still standing. Old Telegraph Road was also used in the race in 'Luke's Love Story'.
In 'Jude Emery' we see a rare scene shot at night (many other scenes where shot at night, but lit to look like daylight). I've included this picture because I think it's the only time we see the police sign (over Bo's shoulder) illuminated.
Back to daylight and on to 'Return of the Ridge Raiders'. Bo and Luke go to visit 'Coop the Snoop' in 'the state capital'. Tri-State Press, where he works, is actually building #15 in Hazzard Square (previously used as the Hotel Metropole).
Although it's been visible in earlier episodes, I finally got a clear shot of the Barber Shop (building #4) next to the bank. Sometimes part of the window signage is missing, and the pole on the front moves around, but it stays virtually the same for quite a while.
When 'Coop the Snoop' arrives in Hazzard, rather than using the bus stop at the Drug Store, he gets off at the bus station. This is located at the rear of the church (previously used as a Colonial City loading bay) which is marked #17 on the map.
Finally, at the end of the episode Boss breaks ground for the new 'Senior Citizens Center' (I know there should be an apostrophe after Citizens, but there wasn't one on the banner). This was filmed between the church and building #19 (the same place as the 'Road Closed' sign above, but from the opposite angle). I'm not posting a picture because I'm limited to 4 pictures per post, and there wasn't much to see anyway.
These pictures are from 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. They were not filmed in Hazzard Square (Midwest Street on Warner's backlot), but on New York Street, the next set over. I'll start with a map to show where this is relative to Hazzard Square. At the bottom left is the Hazzard County Building and Courthouse, with the bank roughly in the center at the bottom.
As Bo and Luke arrive in Capitol City they pass a bakery (where the guy in blue is walking). I can't read the name, but I think the arced text says 'Italian Bakery'. This picture also shows how the street lights are mounted on square bases to allow them to moved around easily.
This is the entrance to the Youth Center. It is right next to the bakery (the two girls in the previous picture were walking past the right end of the building). I marked its location 'A' on the map above.
Finally from this episode is the exterior of the City Morgue. This was harder to track down due to the buildings opposite changing over the years. It's marked 'B' on the map. I've inset the sign from the wall which is just off the right of the picture.
This picture is slightly out of sequence because I wanted to keep all the 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt' pictures together. It's the freight depot (building #17) where Bo and Luke mistakenly pick up the crate containing marijuana in 'Mason Dixon's Girls'. I think the shelter from the bus station is still there just above the car roof, but I can't see the clock anymore. Also worth noting in this picture is that 'McDermott's Furniture Mart' has become 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' (you can see part of the sign to the left of the hay bales). It's visible in the background a few times, but I couldn't get a clear shot in season 2.
Moving on to 'Southern Comfurts', during the search for the missing gray car containing the money, Uncle Jesse and Holly say they are going to look in Pine Springs. This was actually filmed in a car park next to Hazzard Square. The tower in the center is part of building #15 (most recently 'Tri-State Press'). The back of building #16 is shown on the left, and it's clear that it has no depth as you can see right through it. The area between Uncle Jesse and the tower is where the semi was parked in 'Route 7-11'.
A second picture of the car park indicates it was probably used to store vehicles being used for filming as there is a line of what look like 1920s or 1930s cars in the background. Just to the left of the cab of Jesse's pickup what looks like the shell of a General Lee. A new building has been constructed on this site since filming.
Bo and Luke head to Center City to look for the gray car. Here is the elusive gray car at 'Billy Jo Bob's Used Cars' which is actually building #25. We don't really get to see the building in this episode, except for the sign which I've inset. This part of Warner's backlot is known as 'French Street'. The dark blue car on the left is a 1960s Sunbeam Alpine.
Here's the last couple of pictures from 'Southern Comfurts', and the last from season 2. The first is building #20, which becomes Boss's house later on, but is just a background house here.
Opposite Boss's house is this house. I don't remember it being used for anything, but if you know differently, let me know. I've also been trying to identify the car with the white roof on the far left. It looks like something from the late 50s.
(Unsurprisingly) MaryAnne is right. It's only a short scene with dialog and no stunts. The first picture shows buildings 9 to 12 as the camera moves down to the gazebo. They were changed quite a bit before Dukes started filming here a year or two later.
The second shot shows that the 'Moss Hotel' sign was on top of building #2 back in 1978. It's visible in quite a few episodes of Dukes, even though no one ever stays there. The building behind Max (John Marley) would become Boss's bank.

We Protect
Your Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property (IP) is a property right arising from the creative and cognitive processes of inventors, authors, scientists and musicians. Unlike real or tangible property, IP cannot be touched or manipulated like real property because, by its very nature, intellectual property is composed of intangible concepts, ideas and expressions.
IP law is a specialized legal practice that supports obtaining patents, registering trademarks and copyrights, and taking steps to ensure that agreements and processes are in place to protect the trade secrets of a business. IP law also includes protecting one's IP rights from infringement by others in litigation, defending those accused of infringement, licensing rights to others in exchange for royalties, and performing due diligence as to the IP involved in transactions. Hemingway & Hansen LLP has extensive experience with all aspects of IP law.

The American economy seems to swing wildly from overheated to periods of recession.
What about the people who lose their jobs in a recession? We need to have a scheme to mitigate the boom-bust effects of the economy.
The federal government needs to do a better job of keeping full employment by borrowing money to fund more infrastructure work when unemployment goes up and paying back the borrowings when unemployment goes down.
There needs to be a line item in the federal budget of about 5% to pay interest on the debt. When the Fed reduces the interest rates to encourage borrowing, the federal government would increase borrowing to keep the interest payment constant and spend the money on projects. When the Fed increases the interest rate, the projects would be reduced to keep the interest payment constant.
In addition, there needs to be an inflation tax which increases income tax withholding rates during periods of inflation and uses the money to fund 401K type retirement funds for the tax payers whose withholding went up.
A. Inflation occurs when there is more money to purchase goods and services than there are the quantity of goods and services available. When the price of a product goes up, business will generate more of the product. So, some inflation is good. But, the rate of inflation needs to be managed to prevent destroying wealth.
One way to control inflation is to tax the sale of the product which is in limited supply to reduce the demand. A national sales tax provides a mechanism to rapidly change the tax on any given product to keep inflation for that product under control.


WordPress Sidebar Widgets Gone or Moved? Problem Fixed!
Yesterday I spent 2 hours searching for a solution to my WordPress sidebar widgets issue. I noticed that on one of my websites, the sidebar had moved to the bottom of the page. Below the main content.
This was not good and it looked awful. If too many readers of the site saw this, it could result in lost new or even regular visitors. It looks unprofessional and unattended. Check out the video below to see how I ended up finding the problem and fixing it. I have to say that this issue is incredibly rare, if it happens at all when using Thrive Themes and all of their bespoke plug ins.
Ok. So after running around like a headless chicken looking for anything I may have done recently, I calmed down.
The code was fine in my posts. I hadn't uploaded any new plug ins and WPX wouldn't find the issue. They are not developers but the lady did have some excellent tests I could run which I did.
First of all, I ran the site through the W3C Markup Validation Service to see if I had any bad code. This WordPress sidebar widgets issue can be caused by an unclosed <div> or extra closing </div> tag. However, I found no such thing anywhere.
Secondly, I ran the site through Whynopadlock.com to check for mixed content problems. Apparently this can also cause WordPress sidebar widgets to move about and become misplaced.
Finally, I checked the least likely cause (according to many websites) which was my plug ins. At this moment in time, I have quite a few third party plug ins on my websites so I hoped this would be it.
I systematically deactivated and reactivated each plug in whilst refreshing the web page each time. I finally deactivated the "WordPress Related Posts Thumbnails" plug in and voila! Problem solved.
I'm not sure why it suddenly went bad as I had done nothing of any significance to the site lately. It is actually a good plug in but for whatever reason it decided it didn't want to play any more.
This is one of the reasons I am moving all of my websites over to Thrive Themes. For one, they have a plug in exactly like the related posts one causing the problems yesterday. It is included in their main package along with a load more incredibly useful plug ins.
By using Thrive Themes, it means I have a LOT less third party plug ins loaded and the ones I do use are reputable one with longevity, regular updated and great support. Sometimes the best plug ins are the paid ones...even on subscription.
Check out my Thrive Themes review to see if it is a fit for your own WordPress site.
I hope this page and video helped and if it did (or didn't), please remember to comment and share it with your friends below. Thank you.


This study examined QI activities supported by the Flex Program in nine states, assessed the role of the State Flex Programs in developing and supporting QI activities, and explored the effect of these initiatives on CAH QI efforts.
The Flex Program has been instrumental in funding and providing leadership for the development of CAH quality improvement initiatives.
Collaborative shared learning strategies have been central to the success of Flex Program QI programs.
Scaling QI program activities to the capacity and resources of CAHs is critical to success.
Administrative, clinical, and board leadership and buy-in are also critical to the success of CAH QI initiatives.
Despite widespread support for these QI initiatives, there is limited hard evidence on their impact.
Overlap between the quality measures in Hospital Compare and those used by state and multi-state QI reporting and benchmarking programs offers the opportunity for developing a common set of "rural relevant" hospital quality measures.

Everyone gravitates towards flowers when there's a special occasion coming around the corner, and some of us also just love flowers in our homes. Every reason is the perfect reason for flowers. A Better Florist is the best florist in Singapore as they cater your every flower need. Anything you can think of that involves flowers, their creative team can handle it.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the visual appeal. Their modern blooms are designed with intent, and put together so they don't resemble anything you have seen before. That makes every recipient enamored by what they end up receiving. Ordering and sending flowers is truly made easy by A Better Florist. In fact, there are no other flowers in Singapore that are as affordable and attractive than what you can see on their website.
The website is yet another perk, because it's easy to find what you're looking for. You can see their selection on the homepage, along with the name for each arrangement and the price. However, if you're looking for something more authentic, you can easily contact them and speak to one of the florists about what you had in mind.
Their blooms are always fresh, and one of the reasons why this is so, is because they grow their flowers on a farm on Cameron Highlands. They nurture and take care of their blooms, until they decide it's the perfect time for picking and using them in their designs. This perfect timing enables them to deliver fresh arrangements to all their clients every single time. And since they cut out the middle man, the delivery is faster, meaning the flowers are younger, and the price still remains affordable.
It's important to note that they deliver flowers every day, and don't skip out on some of the most important holidays throughout the year either. They can deliver your order on the same day, within 90 minutes, and that also includes any location in Singapore.
These gorgeous blooms have become so popular, that the word about these enchanting blooms has travelled to Hong Kong, where they have recently opened a Hong Kong flowers shop. Not only that, they have been voted as the best florist in Hong Kong as well.
And because good news travel fast and far, they also officially have a Dubai Florist! Only a truly talented team of florists can make such a big impact in their industry, and on the hearts of everyone who has ever clicked the shop button on their website.
By grand opening flower stands in Singapore, they've made powerful flower revolution, and introduced to us the world where flowers aren't only beautiful, but can tell a story and make us feel all kinds of different emotions. I truly enjoy everything that A Better Florist has to offer, and I am looking forward to seeing more of what they have to offer.
Thank you for reading till the end and see you again!
people feel good~ Haha flowers always makes a girl's day! Its interesting to know which florists does same day delivery as well! Especially for last minute shoppers like me haha. Shall go check out the website soon! I also personally really like the freestyle bouquets at https://floralgaragesg.com/product/deluxe-freestyle-bouquet/ ! I love how they allow customers to choose the style they like and allow the florist to craft the bouquet to suit the occasion and recipient!

Linda Pinizzotto created a consortium of high power corporate firms for the development of a $70 million dollar facility in the City of Mississauga, Ontario Canada. The first of its kind with a win -win situation for the City to involve a Public-Private Ownership. The development would involve 70 acres of land, a major spectator arena with 3 additional community rinks, a sports complex, hotel, baseball and soccer fields and a major hotel chain. The site included a stream of winter garden's collonade, forest canopy with trails for jogging, vita par-cour, leisure walks "keukenhof" style and an entertainment terrace. The future bridge would link to a public gardens and another ice complex directly across the street. This site involved a fountain of pools for the summer transforming to community skating ice rinks in the winter. Visual Axis to the site from major highways 403 and 410 were an added benefit.
The Consortium was spearheaded by Linda Pinizzotto, CEO – Owner P3 Sports Entertainment. Our $70 million dollar bid was to designed a Major Spectator Sports and Entertainment Facility. It was designed to enhance the identity and international image of the City of Mississauga, Ontario Canada It would be a WIN-WIN situation with Public Shares being arrange Richard Devenney of Keyser Mason Ball. Mr. Mike McGee, Chairman of the Board for LMI, Leisure Management International accepted the position of Management company for the Complex and Sports Venues to team up with the entertainment side with P3 Sports.
Scott Abbot, Founder of Trivial Pursuit agreed to ownership of the OHL Franchise in the event that Mississauga received approval from the OHL. P3 Sports would join in with a part ownership. Douglas Kilner, President of Orlando Corporation were negotiation with P3 Sports Entertainment to build the $30,000,000 Arena complex at cost.
Leisure Management International began operations in 1986 and is one of the premier management companies in the industry. A partnership of four well-known industry leaders, these joint owners represent a combination of industry experience, business acumen and financial resources that are unique in the industry. Together these business leaders' resources stretch in excess of $1 billion. Chairman of the Board – Mike McGee, H. Wayne Huizenga – Chairman of the Board, CEO and Stockholder of Huizenga Holdings, Inc. (Blockbuster Entertainment), Douglas Schnitzer – CEO and founding partner partner of Senterra Development and Morton Cohn – Founder of Houston Warner Cable Franchise and Cash America.

The main stream of this proposal was a private/public partnership.
This "Complex" would have been a WIN-WIN Public company with shares available for Mississauga Residents.

They have to keep repeating this, because it is so contrary to fact and to the evidence of the daily headlines.
President Mamnoon Hussain addressing the Launching Ceremony of "Paigham-e-Pakistan" at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad on January 16, 2018.
If Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, harmony and brotherhood, it has been misunderstood by mainstream Islamic authorities throughout the history of the religion. In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I trace the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.
The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is the first one-volume history of jihad in the English language, and the first book to tell the whole truth about Islam's bloody history in an age when Islamic jihadis are more assertive in Western countries than they have been for centuries. Order it here now.
Islamabad-Speakers at a seminar here on Friday stressed that Islam is the religion of peace as it teaches unity, harmony, brotherhood and tolerance in the society. The 'Paigham-e-Pakistan' seminar was organized by the Islamic Research Institute (IRI) of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) at the Faisal Mosque campus. Deputy Sheikh and Senior Advisor to Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Institute Egypt Dr Muhammad Mohanna was the chief guest on the occasion. A large number of students and faculty members from the IIUI participated in the ceremony.
Other speakers stressed that Paigham-e-Pakistan initiative was in fact a description of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. "Promotion of this initiative is the national and religious obligation of the ulema and mashaikh belonging to all sects and religious groups," they said, and added that being Muslims it was their national and religious responsibility to strive for setting up a peaceful and exemplary society which was free of bigotry and racism. "Every individual of the Muslim Ummah will have to play his part to achieve this goal," they added….
