I am so sorry for my absence and I am still absent. I am posting this courtesy of my son-in-law who does have internet. My internet and phone line has been down for two weeks now. Apparantly a cable but who can believe anything. The worst thing is that there is no-one to talk to at a communication's company. You get a machine, then you get a lowly assistant who blocks your way to anyone with any more clout. A company in the business of communications who cannot communicate and keep their customers communicating. A shame, I feel powerless and infuriated. If anyone out there knows how to get hold of someone at Telkom who would actually fix the problem please let me know.
Can anyone name this ride?
This is not meant to be any type of 'great' image by ANY stretch of the imagination due to the noise in it. I was just pushing my D3S to see just what I could come away with, and I was actually pretty impressed that I got anything from this particular scene since it is somewhat darker than what I show here.
Thanks for having a look.
** This may sound crazy, but bear with me.
I was just looking at the comments to this image a moment ago and while I was glancing up at the image, it seemed to actually move to the left as if I was actually one the ride. Does anyone else see this or am I loosing my mind? Okay, I can't lose something that is not there.. HA!! But seriously, if you look at the caveman the whole scene seems to shift to the left.
I'm probably just too tired is all.... HA!

Occupation: College Student, Renegade, Reformed Street Gang Leader
Current Location: (Unknown, presumably earth)
Origin: Trinidad, Colorado, Earth
Approach-ability - Very approachable [Available for anyone; modern fantasy setting]
Some Background History if you care,
Josaline Ayers died at 1:22 p.m. at the age of 18, due to what is recorded as 'complications' at birth in Trinidad, Colorado. Unexplainable seizures claimed her life and it was all that the doctors could do was to preserve the life of her son. As an already unwanted child, James (named by the orphanage) was placed in Hope Foundation Orphanage where he met Robert Wilkins after an 'incident' at the age of four resulting in the near death of another orphan. Ironically, after this 'incident' James was adopted by unknowing parents in Osaka, Japan no less.
Through his elementary and middle school years, James was called Kawata James; however after numerous 'problems' during his school years where he was bounced around from middle-school to middle-school he was finally enrolled in Zankoku Koukou under his original birth name Ayers James in the hope that his school record would not follow him to his new life as a high-school student.
During his middle-school years, he fell into the 'wrong crowd' when rumors of his 'ability' began to circulate. At first, he would be convinced to only use it on store clerks so that he and his "friends" could steal candy, gum, food etc. But this escalated very quickly, soon his "friends" were pressuring him to put girls "to sleep" for a little while so that they (the friends) could rape the girls. Because of this, James fell into 'accomplice' to many crimes. Eventually, this ability caught the eye of a local gang who would further this by threatening him, claiming they would kill his parents if he did not comply.
Eventually, he did 'kill' one of the gang leaders by strangulation (with both hands) but was acquitted of the charge. The the autopsy revealed that the man died of heart failure (due to prolonged seizures) rather than suffocation. After this, for his own 'protection' his foster parents filed for him to attend college in America. In reality, they were afraid of him.
"GTS" (Go To Sleep) Refers to an ability named after a 'finishing move' on a popular sports entertainment show.
Metabolism Manipulation:
Robert Wilkins - Pediatrician's Analysis (age 4) - Upon direct, skin to skin contact James Ayers' left and right sides of his body exude different effects on the metabolism of whatever he is touching. The effects are recorded as applicable on on all living tissue, not just human contact. Other mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians also exhibit the effects of the phenomenon when 'touched'. Plants were also recorded as wilting when 'touched' by either side, though actual metabolic data on plants is difficult to process as it is not my field of expertise. It is recommended that, until blood and tissue samples can be analyzed that Jay wear long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes and gloves at all times. Ensure that all care-takers are made known of James' condition.
Left Hand of God - When any portion of James Ayers' left side makes direct contact with living tissue, the metabolism of that entity begins to drop on a exponential scale based both on the area of contact and time elapsed since contact began.
During the first minute or so, the subject feels 'tired' as the body begins to slow down its metabolic rate. Following this for the next four minutes, the subject will become slightly cooler, with its resting body temperature dropping about a half to full degree kelvin as though it were preparing for sleep. In the test lab mice, after the next minute a comatose state was recorded, it is estimated (based on relative body size) that it would take approximately ten minutes for a full grown human to fall into the coma. Death is expected to follow soon after this if James remains in contact with the organism.
Right Hand of the Devil - When any portion of James Ayers' right side makes direct contact with living tissue, the metabolism of that entity begins to rise at an exponential rate, again based both on the area of contact and the time elapsed since contact began.
During the first minute or so, the subject grows more alert of its surroundings and appears more 'awake' than its resting state; it is comparative to having performed at least fifteen to twenty minutes of vigorous exercise. Following this, for the next four minutes, the subject grows warmer, presumably due to increased heart rate, blood flow and nervous impulse. Some cinder-like markings are seen at the point of contact during this time, perhaps where the living tissue has consumed itself with the constantly increasing metabolic rate. Granted that the subject is poikilothermic or even a homeothermic animal in a hot environment, the organism will expire due to break down of internal hormonal and enzymatic systems as both of these become denatured. If the subject is kept cool enough, a curious phenomena occurs where over the period of an hour; the subject will literally consume itself and die of starvation.
The effects of either side's 'touch' does wane with time if contact is broken. This is best done within the first minute if possible to have the least drastic side-effects on the contactee.
Warning and Further Notes - James Ayers should never make contact with a human being with both sides of his body simultaneously. It is my belief as his doctor that this was the cause of his birth-mother's complications during birth. Because his strange 'ability' works by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system with the right side of his body and stimulating the para-sympathetic nervous system with the left side of his body; the attempt to stimulate both simultaneously (which would be the result of both sides of his body becoming in direct contact at the same time) may result in serious seizures as the body would be working antagonistically against itself.

The Maria-Theresien street, named after Empress Maria Theresia, is a broad, slightly curved boulevard and commercial street and a central street of Innsbruck, which dates back to the first city expansion in the 13th century. It is one of the busiest streets in the city.
Course
The road runs with a length of about 490 m slightly curved in north-south direction. The northern end forms the intersection with Castle Moat and Market Moat, beyond which leads the Herzog-Friedrich street in the old town. The southern end of the road and the border with Wilten form the Gate of Victory (Triumphal Gate) at the intersection with Maximilian street and Salurn street. The continuation to the south is the Leopold street. Branches cross the Anich street to the west and the Meran street to the east. Passages exist in the east to Sparkassen square and Landhaus square and in the west by the Town Hall Gallery to Adolf-Pichler square.
History
The new town around 1840
The Maria-Theresien street around 1898
The original city of Innsbruck, founded in 1180, soon grew beyond its border formed by city walls and moats (today's Old Town). Along the arterial road heading south to Wilten and on to Brenner, a suburb developed. This settlement, known as nova civitas ("New Town"), originally belonged to the Hofmark court of the Wilten Abbey. On June 5, 1281, Count Meinhard II concluded a treaty with Wilten Abbey, in which, in returm for the exemption from the wine duty, the judiciary on the Neustadt (New Town) from Stift Wilten came to the city of Innsbruck. At that time, however, the area did not reach the Triumphal Gate, which later formed the border between Innsbruck and Wilten, but reached the height of what is today the Old Landhaus (Regional Parliament). There, at the end of the "inner New Town", stood the Upper Gate or Georgentor, which was first mentioned in 1350 and was abolished in 1570. The part south of it (the "outer New City") is attributed only from about 1440 the city of Innsbruck.
In 1315, with the support of Duke Henry of Carinthia and Tyrol, the city's Holy Spirit Hospital was founded at the beginning of New Town, which, as was customary at that time, was located outside the city walls and still reminds the Hospital Church.
In the first few centuries, the loosely built New Town contained mainly craft and commercial enterprises, especially those involved in carriage, such as wainwrights, smiths, saddlers or carpenters. The houses were usually made of wood, after a major fire in 1620 they were allowed to be built by order of the government only of stone. As a result, a closed development developed and with the settlement of high officials and noble families, the magnificent buildings today in the Baroque and Rococo style emerged, such as 1679-1690 the Taxis Palace or 1744-1749 the Palais Lodron. Many of the buildings were designed by representatives of the builder family Gumpp.
1706 was built in thanksgiving for the withdrawal of the Bavarian troops after the Bavarian Rummel in the middle of the road, the Saint Anna's column. The Saint Anna's column was surrounded on both sides by fountains, the fountain of Saint Joseph in the north from 1709 to 1870 and the fountain of Saint Joachim in the south from 1706 to 1732 (today in the Waltherpark in St. Nikolaus). On the occasion of the wedding of Archduke Leopold with the Spanish princess Maria Ludovica of Spain in Innsbruck in 1765, the triumphal arch was erected at the southern end of the new town and the moat filled. In 1897, the town hall was relocated here from the old town.
On December 22, 1873, the citizens' committee (local council) decided to rename the new town in Maria-Theresien street "in memory of its old name Theresian New Town and in consideration of the it closing triumphal arch". From 1891 the initially steam-powered Innsbruck-Hall local train ran through the Maria-Theresien street in Tyrol, and from 1905 also electric inner-city tram lines.
In 1978, the city of Innsbruck and the province of Tyrol declared the Maria Theresien street a conservation zone in which every demolition of a building is prohibited. In an amendment of the Stadtkern- and Ortsbildschutzgesetzes (law for the protection of urban character and downtown area) this was revoked in 2003, however. When the demolition of three buildings was threatened for the new building of the Tyrol department store, the Federal Monuments Office placed the street under Ensemble protection in 2006. The city of Innsbruck convened against it and after heated controversy, especially on the architecture of the planned new building Minister of Culture Claudia Schmied raised the ensemble protection. As a result, three buildings were demolished and replaced in 2010 by a new building.
From 2006 to 2009, the area north of the Anich street was converted into a pedestrian zone. The road with different paving was designed square-like. Since then, the tram has been routed through Anichs street and Castle Moat. The southern section, which is still open to public transport, was also redesigned by 2011.

Use
Bus and tram in the southern Maria-Theresien street
As the main street of Innsbruck, Maria-Theresien street frequently served marches and rallies, such as in the Tyrolean freedom struggle in 1809, during the invasion of German troops after the Annexation of Austria in 1938 or 1945, when Innsbruck was the only major city in the Third Reich to be handed over to the Allied troops without a fight by native regime opponents.
Since the end of the 19th century, the Maria-Theresien street has been an important public transport corridor, which has been crossed by all inner-city tram lines and many bus lines. Today trams and buses drive only through the traffic-calmed section south of Anich street, the northern part was transformed from 2006 to 2009 to the pedestrian zone.
Along the street you will find important facilities such as the Town Hall and the Landhaus as well as numerous shops and shopping centers (Kaufhaus Tyrol, Rathaus-Galerien). With a pedestrian frequency of more than 30,000 people per day, it is one of the six most attractive shopping streets in Austria. It is also used for events such as a Christmas market was in use as Fan Mile at the 2008 European Football Championship.
Die Maria-Theresien-Straße, benannt nach Kaiserin Maria Theresia, ist eine breit angelegte, leicht gekrümmte Pracht- und Geschäftsstraße und ein zentraler Straßenzug Innsbrucks, der auf die erste Stadterweiterung im 13. Jahrhundert zurückgeht. Sie ist eine der am stärksten frequentierten Straßen der Stadt.
Verlauf
Die Straße verläuft mit einer Länge von rund 490 m leicht gekrümmt in Nord-Süd-Richtung. Das nördliche Ende bildet die Kreuzung mit Burggraben und Marktgraben, jenseits davon führt die Herzog-Friedrich-Straße in die Altstadt. Den südlichen Abschluss der Straße sowie die Grenze zu Wilten bildet die Triumphpforte an der Kreuzung mit Maximilianstraße und Salurner Straße. Die Fortsetzung nach Süden ist die Leopoldstraße. Als Querstraßen zweigen versetzt die Anichstraße nach Westen und die Meraner Straße nach Osten ab. Durchgänge bestehen im Osten zum Sparkassenplatz und zum Landhausplatz und im Westen durch die Rathausgalerien zum Adolf-Pichler-Platz.
Geschichte
Die Neustadt um 1840
Die Maria-Theresien-Straße um 1898
Die ursprüngliche Stadt Innsbruck, 1180 gegründet, wuchs schon bald über ihre durch Stadtmauern und -graben gebildete Grenze (die heutige Altstadt) hinaus. Entlang der Ausfallstraße Richtung Süden nach Wilten und weiter zum Brenner entwickelte sich eine Vorstadt. Diese Siedlung, als nova civitas („Neustadt“) bezeichnet, gehörte ursprünglich zum Hofmarkgericht des Stiftes Wilten. Am 5. Juni 1281 schloss Graf Meinhard II. mit dem Stift Wilten einen Vertrag, in dem gegen eine Befreiung vom Weinzoll die Gerichtsgewalt über die Neustadt vom Stift Wilten an die Stadt Innsbruck kam. Das Gebiet reichte damals aber noch nicht bis zur Triumphpforte, die später die Grenze zwischen Innsbruck und Wilten bildete, sondern etwa bis zur Höhe des heutigen Alten Landhauses. Dort, am Ende der „inneren Neustadt“, stand das Obere Tor oder Georgentor, das 1350 erstmals erwähnt und 1570 abgebrochen wurde. Der Teil südlich davon (die „äußere Neustadt“) wird erst ab etwa 1440 der Stadt Innsbruck zugerechnet.
1315 wurde mit der Unterstützung Herzog Heinrichs von Kärnten und Tirol am Beginn der Neustadt das städtische Heilig-Geist-Spital gegründet, das, wie damals üblich, außerhalb der Stadtmauern lag und an das heute noch die Spitalskirche erinnert.
In den ersten Jahrhunderten befanden sich in der nur locker verbauten Neustadt hauptsächlich Handwerks- und Gewerbebetriebe, insbesondere solche, die mit dem Fuhrwesen zu tun hatten, wie Wagner, Schmiede, Sattler oder Tischler. Die Häuser waren in der Regel aus Holz, nach einem Großbrand 1620 durften sie auf Anordnung der Regierung nur noch aus Stein errichtet werden. In der Folge entwickelte sich eine geschlossene Verbauung und mit der Ansiedelung von hohen Beamten und adeligen Familien entstanden die heute das Straßenbild prägenden Prachtbauten im Barock- und Rokokostil, so etwa 1679–1690 das Taxispalais oder 1744–1749 das Palais Lodron. Viele der Bauten wurden von Vertretern der Baumeisterfamilie Gumpp entworfen.
1706 wurde als Dank für den Abzug der bayrischen Truppen nach dem Bayrischen Rummel in der Mitte der Straße die Annasäule errichtet. Die Annasäule war auf beiden Seiten von Brunnen umgeben, dem Josefsbrunnen im Norden von 1709 bis 1870 und dem Joachimsbrunnen im Süden von 1706 bis 1732 (heute im Waltherpark in St. Nikolaus). Anlässlich der Hochzeit von Erzherzog Leopold mit der spanischen Prinzessin Maria Ludovica von Spanien in Innsbruck 1765 wurde am südlichen Ende der Neustadt die Triumphpforte errichtet und der Stadtgraben zugeschüttet. 1897 wurde das Rathaus aus der Altstadt hierher verlegt.
Am 22. Dezember 1873 beschloss der Bürgerausschuss (Gemeinderat) die Umbenennung der Neustadt in Maria-Theresien-Straße „in Erinnerung an ihre alte Bezeichnung theresianische Neustadt und mit Rücksicht auf die sie abschließende Triumphpforte“. Ab 1891 verkehrte die zunächst dampfbetriebene Lokalbahn Innsbruck–Hall in Tirol durch die Maria-Theresien-Straße, ab 1905 auch elektrische innerstädtische Straßenbahnlinien.
1978 wiesen Stadt Innsbruck und Land Tirol die Maria-Theresien-Straße als Erhaltungszone aus, in der jeder Abbruch eines Gebäudes verboten ist. Bei einer Novellierung des Stadtkern- und Ortsbildschutzgesetzes wurde dies 2003 jedoch widerrufen. Als für den Neubau des Kaufhauses Tyrol der Abriss dreier Gebäude drohte, stellte das Bundesdenkmalamt die Straße 2006 unter Ensembleschutz. Die Stadt Innsbruck berief dagegen und nach heftigen Kontroversen insbesondere um die Architektur des geplanten Neubaus hob Kulturministerin Claudia Schmied den Ensembleschutz auf. Daraufhin wurden drei Gebäude abgerissen und 2010 durch einen Neubau ersetzt.
Von 2006 bis 2009 wurde der Bereich nördlich der Anichstraße in eine Fußgängerzone umgewandelt. Die Straße wurde dabei mit unterschiedlicher Pflasterung platzartig gestaltet. Die Straßenbahn wird seither durch Anichstraße bzw. Burggraben geführt. Der südliche Abschnitt, der nach wie vor dem öffentlichen Verkehr zur Verfügung steht, wurde bis 2011 ebenfalls neu gestaltet.
Bedeutende Bauten

Nutzung
Bus und Straßenbahn in der südlichen Maria-Theresien-Straße
Als Hauptstraße Innsbrucks diente die Maria-Theresien-Straße häufig Aufmärschen und Kundgebungen wie etwa im Tiroler Freiheitskampf 1809, beim Einmarsch deutscher Truppen nach dem Anschluss Österreichs 1938 oder 1945, als Innsbruck als einzige Großstadt des Dritten Reichs von einheimischen Regimegegnern kampflos an die alliierten Truppen übergeben wurde.
Seit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Maria-Theresien-Straße eine wichtige Verkehrsachse für den öffentlichen Verkehr, die von allen innerstädtischen Straßenbahnlinien und vielen Buslinien durchfahren wurde. Heute fahren Straßenbahnen und Busse nur noch durch den verkehrsberuhigten Abschnitt südlich der Anichstraße, der Nordteil wurde von 2006 bis 2009 zur Fußgängerzone umgestaltet.
Entlang der Straße finden sich wichtige Einrichtungen wie das Rathaus und das Landhaus sowie zahlreiche Geschäfte und Einkaufszentren (Kaufhaus Tyrol, Rathaus-Galerien). Mit einer Passantenfrequenz von mehr als 30.000 Personen am Tag zählt sie zu den sechs attraktivsten Einkaufsstraßen Österreichs. Sie wird auch für Veranstaltungen wie einen Christkindlmarkt oder die Fanmeile bei der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2008 genutzt.

The Greenock Range name appears on an 1839-40 map of S. A. There is a 'Greenock' in Scotland but to confuse the issue, Lord Greenoch was a personal friend of Colonel William Light who may have named this area during his explorations in the Barossa in 1837. Greenoch was then possibly corrupted to ‘Greenock’. This proposition is supported by the fact that Mount Greenoch within the Greenock Range appears on the map of 1840! Another theory claims George Fife Angas employee James Smith named the area after Greenock in Scotland. Regardless of the naming, German and English settlers moved here early and planted wheat and established a small but thriving town. Vines and wine came much later. The land was surveyed in 1847 when the Hundred of Nuriootpa was declared. Some white settlers had moved her a couple of years earlier( 1845) to mine copper near the town site but that mine never produced great riches and only lasted a few years. The man to buy up land her in 1847 was Robert Bevan. He then subdivided some of his farming land to create a private township in 1850. The first land sold was to James Jackman of Gawler who built and opened the Greenock Arms Hotel. Although land was surveyed and sold the town plan was not submitted to the government until 1855. The Greenock Arms Hotel was first legally licensed for trading in 1855 to Theodore Essberger. Greenock grew very slowly but more subdivision occurred in 1858 when speculators thought the proposed government railway from Gawler to Kapunda which opened in 1860 might pass through the locality. It did not.
Robert Bevan was a Wesleyan Methodist in he donated an acre of land to the Methodists. The Wesleyan Methodist Church called Little Glory opened in 1855. Due to poor construction and the need for repairs it was closed in 1929 when the Methodists started holding their services in the Greenock institute. A building fund for a new church began in 1944, the old church was demolished in 1948, and the Branson Memorial Church opened in its place in 1955. It is now the Uniting Church. The Branson family were among the first trustees of the Little Glory Church in 1855 and Miss Ellen Branson served as church organists for 54 years and as a Sunday School teacher for 64 years. A Lutheran church opened early in 1857 too but the congregation was small and the church was closed and sold in 1866. The Roman Catholics purchased it and consecrated it in 1866. Their congregation diminished in size and it too closed in the late 1920s with the building being demolished in 1952.
As the town grew a new Lutheran Church, St. Peter’s was opened in 1900. But the typical Lutheran church spire tower was only added in 1975. From 1860 a coach service linked Greenock with the railway station at Freeling providing quick access to Gawler and Adelaide for local residents. Other fine historic buildings in Greenock are:
•The old Telegraph Station which opened in 1866(it looks like a private residence).
•The outstanding Post Office near the hotel. It opened in 1879 and is still the town’s Post Office.
•Across the park the solid stone Institute building opened in 1905 but the institute was formed in 1883.
•A Commercial Bank of SA opened in 1885.
•The original 1861 private school was replaced by a large state school for 120 pupils in 1878.
•A flourmill opened in 1858. It had many different owners including two Seppelt brothers from 1875-78 (related to but not involved with the Seppelt winery family. The Greenock Seppelts ran a butchery and vermicelli business in Greenock for a few years). The flourmill was updated from time to time and in 1899 Friedrick Laucke from Cottbus, a Wendish city in Prussia, purchased the mill. He expanded his milling empire by acquiring the Strathalbyn mill in 1927, the Angaston mill 1933, and the Stockwell and Eudunda mills in 1951. Laucke still operates from this flourmill and it is the headquarters of their milling and stock feeds business. One of their sons Sir Condor Laucke became a national politician and the leader of The Senate in Canberra. The road from Greenock to Nuriootpa is named after him.
•The old Wheat Store which is now a microbrewery. It appears to date from around 1860. At that time a town like Greenock would have several wheat buyers to purchase from local farmers as well as the flourmill. Most buyers lasted just a few years in business before they moved to other towns. The wheat Store in Greenock probably survives because Laucke’s purchased it in the 1930s as a storeroom for their operations across the street.
The farmers’ cooperative movement was strong in the Barossa Valley and August Ernest Materne of Greenock started a local Greenock cooperative in 1922. This Cooperative went to other areas of the Barossa and until recently it operated the large Co-op Store in Nuriootpa.
