My cousin couldn’t ski copper due to an injury, so we were issued a voucher for a day ticket. It can be yours for $80, and is good any day till end of season. Let me know if you would like it. (I will need the date you are skiing in order to transfer it to you). Thanks!

I am getting a chromo4130 frame in a couple weeks and I am trying to pick between two frames.
Frame A Is internal cabling, which I dig, since it’s neat.
Frame B is not internal cabling
I am worried about water sliding down the cables and going in the down tube and corrode the insides of the bike. I live in a region where typhoons frequently pass through more than half the year, and got only 3 months of really dry season. Raining midday during a ride is almost inevitable during wet season.
Just want to ask if anyone has an experience on dealing with water going in steel frames with internal cabling. Am I just worrying too much? Thanks
PS. I have already bought 99% IPA and a corrosion inhibitor. I plan to attempt to treat the insides of the bike first thing it gets here.

The 2023 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix has set a new Melbourne attendance record, for the second year in a row.
Formula 1 has reported a four-day crowd at Albert Park of 444,631, surpassing the 2022 figure by 25,517.
It also beats the biggest event attendance figure for the 2022 season as a whole, when 440,000 flocked to the Circuit of The Americas over three days for the United States Grand Prix.
Melbourne’s Thursday crowd was 60,832, the highest since 2014, while both Friday and Saturday produced fay records of 122,927 and 129,748, respectively.
Today, the official attendance figure is 131,124, beating last year’s race day figure by 2830.
The 2023 F1 Australian Grand Prix featured a packed support programme with the FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 Championships racing at Albert Park for the very first time, while the Repco Supercars Championship continued with the four-race Beaurepaires Melbourne SuperSprint, and Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia kicked off its season.
The record crowd is in line with predictions from outgoing AGPC CEO Andrew Westacott during last summer’s KTM Summer Grill series on Speedcafe.com, after four-day and race day tickets sold out within hours of going on sale in December 2022.
“We set the bar very high in 2022,” he said.
“It was the bookend of COVID after the awful events of March 13, 2020 and everyone has now seen that Formula 1 puts on a great show in Melbourne.
“To have Formula 2 [and] Formula 3 there as well, I think we’re going to actually surpass the numbers that we had in 2022.”
Race start this afternoon is due at 15:00 AEST, with Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen starting from pole position and Mercedes’ George Russell also on the front row.
F1 will remain at Albert Park until at least 2037.

I (22F) have a best friend (21F) who I absolutely adore. We met over 3 years ago in college and there was an immediate connection. We have been through everything together. I was with her when she got her first speeding ticket (more on this in a minute), college roommates, lunch daily, first vacations without family, etc. However, she always insists on driving. Which is fine, she has a huge SUV I have a small car. But her driving terrifies me. I am in no ways a “grandma” when I drive. I go 10 over sometimes more. However she regularly drives 100. Yells at people. Passes in no passing zones. Almost rear ends people from riding their asses. I have never experienced anxiety like I do when I am in the car with her. She gets mad if someone “tries to tell her how to drive.” But if she is about to rear end someone I don’t know how to react. She gets mad if I point something out. I play on my phone to try and distract myself but I also have to watch. It. Is. Horrifying. Today the lane was ending due to construction and she wasn’t getting over. There was a semi she was trying to pass. As the lane was ending. And thankfully when I said something she was on the phone with her mom cause she glared at me big time. This issue is making me want to avoid spending time with her. But she is my best friend. She won’t let me drive when we go places. I think it’s a control issue but I’m not 100% sure.

Hello! I hope everyone is having a peaceful year. For the sake of anonymity I will be using fake names. I would really appreciate any advice and/or input you might have. :)
The history, in summary, is this. When I was 13, I changed schools to one that offered a better academic program. My town is fairly small and rural, so you have to fight your way out and have a great deal of luck.
In the new school I met Luna. We instantly clicked. She was incredibly creative and smart, but had several family issues, which translated to her being reserved and quiet around others and underperforming at school However, when we were alone together, her barriers disappeared and it felt like we saw each other for who we really were.
8th, 9th, and 10th grade we spent in each other's company. We had other friends. I had liked other people that I told her about. Kissed men at parties after getting drunk. But that didn't matter because at the end it was Luna and I against the world. While I write this, I don't even know how to explain how wonderful it was to exist around each other. Maybe a part of it is nostalgia making everything look better than it was, but it certainly doesn't feel like it.
I came out to her on a party in 9th grade. It had gotten messy because of a guy forcibly kissed me and I was drunk so she was taking care of me in a bathroom. I said it, and she said she had kissed a girl in the past. That she liked girls too.
That year's New Year we spent in my apartment's roof with a couple more friends. I had a situationship with a guy then, but it was more nothing than it was something.. She was tipsy and tried to kiss me. I dismissed it as a drunken thing and we didn't mention it. When the guy broke my heart, she was there while I cried my eyes out, stoic.
Last year of high school came and I kept thinking about that kiss. I realized I did, and always had, loved her, so I decided to confront her about the kiss and confess my feelings. We went to Pride, and when I tried to tell her it all came out wrong. Later she would tell me that to her it sounded like I was clarifying that we were just friends. I didn't correct her.
I had always been very good academically and driven to leave my country after high school, so when we graduated I wrote five letters to five of my closest friends. The first one I wrote was hers. In it, I tried to make clear how much she meant to me. How much I loved her. I thought it wasn't fair to tell her the nature of my feelings in case I left, so I didn't. She stopped answering to my texts for a couple of months.
After a selection process that lasted some months, I got a scholarship to go to Switzerland for two years. I was thrilled. Luna reached out. She was happy for me, but something was hanging in the air. I couldn't leave without saying anything, so I confessed. I was in the capital getting some immigration documents. She, from our hometown, called me and, finally, we got to say how much we loved each other.
We decided we would try long distance, but, about a month before I was scheduled to leave, she disappeared on me. She stopped answering my texts and calls. When I went to her house, no one would answer. She ghosted me. I left the country having been effectively broken up with by being ignored.
Some months later, my mom (a lawyer) told me Luna's mom had asked her to be her counsel because she was being physically abused by her husband. I understood what had happened then, and forgave her for what had happened, though we still had no contact.
In Switzerland I met my ex, who I'll call Peony. We began dating a year after I arrived in Norway. Our relationship was beautiful at the beginning, and I genuinely do believe she loved me (or thought she did). When I graduated and returned to Peru to continue my studies, we decided to continue our relationship, and since she had the money, she would try to visit me. There were always signs of jealousy, possessiveness, outbursts of anger and manipulation that I ignored, and if I had broken up with her when I first saw them maybe things would be different now.
When I came back to Peru, I reconnected with Luna through text. I cannot overstate how beautiful it was to have her in my life again. It was like no time had passed. I didn't bring up how things had ended on purpose since I knew what had happened.
At the moment, about two weeks had passed since I had attempted to break up with Peony because of her anger, manipulation and guilt tripping, but also because it felt like we were no longer compatible. She begged me not to, and said she would die/never love again/be alone forever if I did.
I know what I did was wrong, but when Luna and I saw each other again, it was magical from the get go. The second time we saw each other I told her that she was my first love, and said "maybe, those are feelings that never go away". She kissed me. I kissed back.
From then on, we when we saw each other alone we would kiss. It never got to the point of having sex, but it did get close. There was very little talk involved, except for movie/music/academics talk. When we did talk about deeper stuff, we would talk about the past. How she always had a crush on me. The times we really wanted to kiss each other. The subtle hints. The years of pining and yearning.
I tried breaking up with Peony while this was going on, but the same routine took place when I did. I don't know how relevant it is to mention this, but at the time I was also beginning to take medications for recently diagnosed mental illnesses, so my mood was very volatile and fragile. All it took was for Peony to cry for me to cave and give up on the break up. Then I would try again next week, and she would do the same. At the same time, we would fight often, and her anger outbursts continued.
One day, Luna was taking care of her dogs in her house's garden. The sun was bright. I knew then I had never experienced love until that moment.
It was close to Christmas, and things with with Peony were nearing the end. We had a video call and I was about to break up with her (yet again) and she pulled up a travel agency site and purchased tickets from my hometown to Switzerland. It was very fast. I had very little time to speak to my parents about it, and I felt guilty about the money she had spent. I knew it was another attempt at getting me to not break things up. But this was happening. I was going to visit Peony, and I had to tell Luna.
I asked Luna to go on a walk with me and told her about the trip. I remember very little about the conversation, except that the walk back was very quiet and very long. She texted me afterwards telling me she wanted space, obviously angry. I understood. I said I was sorry, I couldn't be more sorry. I didn't know what exactly I was sorry for. Not breaking up with Peony. Going to Switzerland. Not telling her I loved her earlier.
When I came back from the trip, I found out Luna had left the city. I knew she was going to leave because she was going to go to university outside of the country. I didn't expect she would go before I returned.
Eventually I did break up with Peony after things got physically abusive. It took me a while to get out from the cycle.
Luna was always in my mind. Sometimes frequently, sometimes in passing. I felt I didn't have the right to text her because of what I had done, so I didn't. I thought maybe she would text me. One day, I texted her. I told her everything. How it was all my fault and how sorry I was. How I was here if she wanted to rebuild a friendship. Two strangers meeting each other after a lifetime spent together. I also told her she could tell me anything she wanted, in case she was afraid of hurting me. She shouldn't worry, after what I had done.
She said she would always love me, but she didn't feel ready to rebuild something with me at the moment. She sent me a song titled "Loved the Ocean" by Emilia Ali. I sen her "Amie", by Damien Rice.
This was in July 2022. I really want to reach out to her again. I miss her a lot. However, I am very aware that she owes me nothing at all. The last thing I want is to make her uncomfortable or cross a boundary. I feel so lost and so stupid for messing up things with who might have been the love of my life.
What do you think I should do? What would you do in this situation? Have any of you ever been in a situation like this?
I would love to hear what you all have to say. Thank you so much in advance for your time, and sorry if this is a little rant-ish!
Love

XP Boosts only apply to your OTHER seasonal Characters, AFTER one of them has fulfilled certain requirements, like reaching a certain Character Level (evtl. Max Character Level ?), so it will only make it faster to level seasonal Alts, not your seasonal Main Char. (based on currently publicly available information).

We would like to get a parking pass for the golf course this season. Can anyone tell me when they become available? We like to get there early and they won’t let you in without the pass.

Hello guys, I want to ask: My group plans to visit Japan and USJ on early June 2023. We've heard that the queues in USJ rides are very long, and most importantly, we cannot get into Super Nintendo World unless we have a time entry ticket for it. We plan to purchase one of the Universal Express Pass 4, with the passes including MarioKart: Koopa's Challenge and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™. However, it didn't specify that we will have guaranteed entrance to the Harry Potter and Nintendo lands, it just says that I have the express pass for the aforementioned rides.
So my question is: if I purchase the Universal Express Pass 4s, do I have guaranteed entrance to Harry Potter and Nintendo land?

So I personally have a 4 day VIP and I want to buy my son a one day pass. I emailed front gate and they just expressed the policy of my son needing a vip pass to join me in vip. I swear I saw an FAQ in past years about minors are okay without a vip pass with an adult that has one. I don’t mind buying him one. I just would like to save some cash on a ticket for a 6 year old.
I mainly plan on being in the crowds with him but knowing how all kids like bathroom breaks at the worst times lol, I would also want him using the vip bathrooms.
Anyone have experiences with children and vip. Thanks in advance.

I just want people to know that the Sonoma County government is corrupt. They spent 186 million dollars on a "new courthouse" that is 163k square feet, which works out to $1,100 per square foot, which is over double the second most expensive building I could find was, and over four times the average price per square foot of palaces and museums. And it's just going to look like a giant portable. This is to house some of the most corrupt people in this County, who all make $200-350+k per year (I am including their benefits in that, but not their pension). The entire DA's Office has a vendetta against Civil Rights in general, and will literally knowingly commit criminal violations of laws for the purpose of covering up serious criminal misconduct on the part of Sonoma County employees.
Lynda Hopkins took money from the law enforcement unions, and turns a willfully blind eye to it.
The County Office of Legal Counsel is literally a crime syndicate.
In 2015, the Sheriff's Office had a veritable torture ring in the jail.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. They lied about the existence of these videos, and "lost" the one where they gave one of the inmates internal bleeding, with a knee to their back.
There was a lawsuit about it. It was called the "Yard Counseling Case". There are news articles about it.
There was an official, written policy, called "Yard Counseling", later its name was changed to "Behavior Counseling" which dictated that for arbitrary punitive measures, Sheriff's Office personnel should extract inmates from their cells individually (which meant slamming their heads onto the door frames on the way out and other abuse), and isolate them, and putting them into "pain compliance" techniques (literally, by definition, torture) for extended periods of time while "counseling" them, which meant wearing no name tags, ski masks and riot gear, carrying a shotgun with them, and insulting them in explicit language for over 20 minutes.
This official written policy was acknowledged by Rob Giordano in a video, where he lies that no inmates where injured, uploaded to YouTube in 2018, when they finally addressed this official written policy, and the practice of torturing inmates without reasonable cause (leading exercise routines, for example).
In 2021, they saw one of the victims of this torture ring, who had sued them and had won, at a peaceful protest, and shot him with a grenade launcher while hiding on a rooftop in the face with a crowd control grenade, which exploded on impact and caused horrific injury that I don't care to describe.
In 2017, I was almost killed by application of a "carotid hold" / lateral vascular neck restraint, by a sheriff's deputy, for literally no reason. A knee was placed on my lower back while I was on the ground on my stomach as well, which caused a serious injury to my kidney, which was the worst injury of my life. I have also been diagnosed with an organic brain injury and cognitive impairment. I was tested for the same type of cognitive impairment before the incident and there is a marked difference, and I have about 30 pages describing the differences I've noticed / troubles I've had in my cognitive functioning. There was no probable cause to arrest me, and I was polite and compliant with all the instructions given to me, and this was confirmed by witnesses. I was punished for invoking my right to remain silent, then my arm was grabbed and yanked up behind me, and then a carotid hold was applied because my body pivoted after the deputy grabbed and yanked my arm.
This occurred UNDER A CAMERA and IN FRONT OF WITNESSES. I called the Sheriff's Office the next day said I want to "make an official complaint in writing". I was transferred to Captain of Internal Affairs, Captain Mark Essick. I repeated my request, verbatim. He responded, verbatim: "We don't do that. Why don't you tell me what happened." I did. I told him it happened right under a camera. He said "The camera can't record." I asked for confirmation. He said the cameras "Don't have recording technology installed."
I asked the County for a claim form. They ignored my request, and instructed me to report the incident to IOLERO. IOLERO requested I meet with Internal Affairs, and I said fine.
Sgt. Andy Cash called me and scheduled me for a meeting at the Sheriff's big station. I was made to walk first and guided upstairs to a meeting room, and then patted down for weapons, and the interview was recorded. For 75 minutes I was deposed about happened. He asked me repeatedly about my mental state after the incident. I admitted that I was upset after the incident, and he acted like that justified the whole incident. He explicitly promised to interview the 4 deputies who witnessed the event in addition to the 2 deputies who participated, as well as the arresting officer (who I told him would confirm that I was polite and cooperative), which he agreed "would confirm [my] demeanor", and a bystander witness I told him about.
I complained to IOLERO director Jerry Threet. Mr. Threet agreed that that was inappropriate, then resigned without reviewing the investigation.
For about 4 years review of the investigation was put on hold because IOLERO staff quit, and when more staff was hired, they complained of being understaffed. They had a budget of over a million dollars but only had 2 employees. They only reviewed one case per four months. And they put off "backlogged" cases and focused on new cases. My complaint was finally reviewed by Interim Director Garrick Byers who clearly stated that the investigation was not conducted appropriately. I have the letter from him. That still has never been made public.
After the interview with Internal Affairs, I corresponded with Lynda Hopkins, and she refused to give her opinion on the matter. I specifically complained that the carotid hold was being used recklessly, and it is a dangerous technique. This was in 2018. She forwarded me to Janell Crane, who then had me meet with Kristi Schultz.
I contacted the DA's Office and spoke to Richard Celli (who made $346k in 2017, and has gunned down two unarmed people, and was convicted by a jury in one of the civil cases brought against him by one of the victim's family, but the sentence was overturned by a judge, while working for the SRPD). The first time I spoke to Mr. Celli, he told me that another law enforcement agency should take my case. After that first time, him and the rest of the DA's Office openly refused to comply with the Victims' Rights Laws (CA Con Art. 1 S. 28), and the "policies" (which are legally binding under CA Con Art 5 S. 13) of the Attorney General stating clearly that they are to take complaints from victims if it can't be resolved with the department.
After the first talk with Mr. Celli, I called Rohnert Park Police as I was instructed, and they 3-way called the Sheriff's office and then transferred me. I spent about 30 minutes reporting the incident to a deputy, and he asked me questions in a fair manner. The incident report from the 30 minute phone call was "directed" to Andrew Cash, and was then destroyed, which is literally a state and federal crime. I called RPPD back and talked to the arresting officer and he positively clearly confirmed that I was "polite, calm, compliant, and cooperative" (or something nearly verbatim, I can't remember exactly any more).
Andrew Cash called me the next day, at precisely 7:00 AM. He told me he was driving. He was extremely confrontational with me. He said "There were 6 deputies [referring to the two who used excessive force on me, and 4 witness deputies]. You were combative." This was false. He had only interviewed one of the 4 witness deputies, and the other 3 had provided written statements. They said that they had witnessed force being used, that they had not participated in the use of force to the best of their memory, and that I "did not appear to be resisting". But again, he had promised explicitly to interview the 4 deputy witnesses, and the arresting officer, and the other witnesses (such as the bystander witness who saw the whole incident, the nurse, etc.).
Internal Affairs exonerated the officers. The letter was signed by Eddie Engram, captain of Internal Affairs at that time. I called Mr. Engram, and had an hour long conversation with him, and he told me to contact Sgt. Cash after April 1st.
I filed a federal claim on the last day that it was due.
Mr. Cash referred me to Legal Counselor, Kara Abelson.
Ms. Abelson spent a year and a half refusing to comply with the Public Records Act, the Rules of Procedure, and the Rules of Professional Conduct. She refused to provide me documents that I was entitled to under law, including the incident report written by Deputies Jacquelin Fazzio and Virgil Smith, and the recorded interviews that he promised he would conduct, and stated pretty clearly that he had conducted.
Kara Abelson spent a year and a half trying to claim that my federal complaint was time barred by 1 day when it wasn't. The judge (Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers) entertained this and forced me to respond SEVEN TIMES, before she finally admitted that the "law wouldn't allow [her] to dismiss [my] complaint".
After a year and a half, Kara Abelson finally withdrew from the case after I started citing the Rules of Professional Conduct to her that require her to resign or withdraw from the case rather than defend a civil case where defense isn't warranted. Nobody had disputed any of the allegations I had made. In fact, Eddie Engram had confirmed that what I said happened was not disputed by the evidence.
At some point around this time, either before or after Ms. Abelson withdrew, the 2 incident reports written by the two deputies, the written statements by 3 of the 4 witness deputies, and the recorded interviews with me, the 2 deputies who assaulted me, and 1 of the eye witness deputies, were provided, along with various other records from the facility. In the recorded interview, and the incident report, the deputies admitted that Virgil Smith had applied the carotid hold.
I had also reported the incident to the State Attorney General Public Inquiry Unite (Lupe Zinzin). She had told me, over and over and over, that the local DA's are required to take complaints from civilians in these situations. She refused to call the DA's Office, though. The DA's Office (Richard Celli, Mark Azzouni, David Kahl, and the anonymous receptionists who all refused to provide their names) refused to take a complaint from me. They (including the receptionists) hung up on me every time I called after no more than 2 minutes, for no reason, transferred me to dead lines, never returned any voicemails I managed to leave, told me explicitly that if I send a complaint, they will throw it away, and didn't care, at all, what the laws were. The receptionists also refuse to provide their names. The Attorney General's Office told me to send them a complaint, so I did. The DA's Office acknowledged receiving the complaint. But later said that they did not have a record of it, meaning they threw it away.
The Attorney General's Office finally agreed to take a complaint from me. It sat on their desk for a year. I finally called them, concerned that evidence was being destroyed, and left a voicemail for Casey Hallinan requesting that they request copies of the physical evidence from the Sheriff's Office. Literally 2 days after that voicemail, a letter was sent to me signed by Sharon Loughner with Casey Hallinan CC'ed on the letter, stating that they would "take no action", and blamed the incident on me. I had not received the letter though, and called and spoke to Ms. Hallinan, who was extremely rude. After that, the Attorney General's Office hang up on me as soon as they find out it's me, for no reason. There has since been a bystander witness who saw the whole thing, and it has come to light that the cameras did record, that no upgrades were ever performed like Ms. Abelson alleged, the cameras do continuously record (as of 2019), and they just lied through their teeth about the camera for 4 straight years. The Attorney General's Office does not care. They violate the laws, and do not care what the laws are.
Sonoma County Office of Legal Counsel attorney Michael King took over after Ms. Abelson withdrew. Right off the bat, Mr. King told me that my motions were deficient - a contention he has repeated frequently, since then. I asked him how. He changed the subject, and to this day has NEVER given any explanation as to how any of my motions are deficient.
He continued to claim that my claim was time barred, filing frivolous motions, in blatant violation of the rules of professional conduct, after I cited the rules to him, constituting explicit legal misconduct.
As I said, the judge finally agreed to open Discovery after a year and a half of full time work trying to fight for my right to not be nearly murdered for no reason.
Lawyers do not take these cases unless there is undeniable proof of blatant guilt, along with undeniable proof of catastrophic injury. Multiple law firms have confirmed that it takes over a million dollars worth of legal work to get these cases to trial.
The judge also promised me a pro bono attorney "if you make it past summary judgment".
The judge scheduled us for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) hearing with a magistrate judge. Mr. King elicited an offer from me, which I spent about 2 weeks working on, trying to make it as agreeable as possible. But then for the hearing, his written offer was to waive charging me his attorneys fees. The ADR magistrate confirmed that there was no legal basis for him to do that - it would be illegal. He had been ordered to participate in this hearing, and there was a legal obligation under the Rules of Procedure to try in good faith to settle the case. He violated the order and the rule of procedure (26 (f)).
All of my motions were completely ignored for no reason.
Mr. King / Defendant Virgil Smith lied about the cameras. They said "Denies the existence of cameras capable of recording in the vicinity", in writing, under oath. They never disputed that he put his knee on top of my back with all his weight on it.
Mr. King refused to comply with his Discovery obligations. I had to file about 4 different motions pertaining to their refusal to comply with the laws regarding disclosure of evidence.
Upon receiving an official Discovery request for records of camera equipment, I received a letter signed under oath by Mr. King (nearly 4 years after the incident) stating that the cameras CAN RECORD. But stating "tasks must be performed" to start the recording function, and stating that all records pertaining to the equipment that was installed at the time HAD BEEN DESTROYED (literally a federal and state crime, a civil tort violation, and a sanctionable act of legal misconduct).
Mr. King refused to schedule any of the witnesses for deposition, demanded MY deposition BEFORE he would even schedule the two deputies who assaulted me, even though I had been requesting depositions with other witnesses for over a month, and refused to schedule anyone else, he refused to answer interrogatories, he refused to provide copies of the policies from the time of the incident. He tried to pass off a weird spreadsheet with the word camera on it as proof that upgrades had been done to the cameras. He refused to provide complete training records for the deputies. He refused to provide details about the training. He refused to provide blueprints of the facility, refused to provide photos of the cameras at the location, refused to provide still images showing which direction the cameras were pointing, was caught lying under oath (and "penalty of perjury") multiple times, refused to provide photos of the deputies so I could schedule depositions efficiently.
The judge erroneously dismissed my Equal Protection claims, construing them as Due Process and Employment Discrimination claims, which are different types of claims than Equal Protection claims against a government actor. The government cannot arbitrarily treat anyone disparately. The Court also dismissed my "Monell" claim against the municipality for their "policies, customs, or practices", but left me leave to amend that claim. And she waited until Discovery opened over 1.5 years into litigation, to do this, forcing me to amend the complaint DURING DISCOVERY which was only open for a limited amount of time, instead of any point in the 1.5 years prior to that.
In the recorded interview with Andrew Cash and one of the witness deputies, she spontaneously states that Mr. Cash instructed her to review the written statements made by the two deputies who assaulted me prior to the interview. Another deputy witness confirmed that Mr. Cash had instructed her to review the written reports by the two deputies who assaulted me prior to her providing Mr. Cash with a written statement as well.
The judge finally retaliated against me, without rational basis, for filing motions, which I had filed because I was being illegally obstructed from preserving evidence, by withdrawing leave to amend regarding the "Monell" claim (I had stated a clear Monell claim to begin with, but the judge literally has an aversion to reading, and relies on guessing, and is biased against pro se litigants; I am summarizing well over 100 pages, if not well over double that, of motions, objections, and replies and the judge's responsive orders).
She did however, finally schedule a hearing with a Discovery referee magistrate. All my motions (and the months of work I was required to do dictated by the various rules) was completely disregarded, and both me and Mr. King were given 2 pages each (double spaced) to go over discovery issues, even though I had filed about 4 different motions about various issues, and he hadn't filed ANY, about Discovery issues, and never did.
During conference I was required to do in accordance with the Rules, Mr. King repeatedly tried to establish that I had committed crimes during the course of conferring which was my legal obligation, without having any rational basis to believe what he was trying to establish. He demanded evidence that would exist, and he kept repeating every lie he could come up with to the judge. The judge would either get annoyed at me if I addressed any of Mr. King's baseless accusations, or take his statements at face value for being 100% true.
Mr. King finally "compromised" and agreed to schedule depositions with me (as long as Mr. King wanted to) and the two deputies who had assaulted me (for 25 minutes each or something) all simultaneously, but refused to schedule anyone else, even though this was grossly advantageous to him, and in blatant violation of Rule 26 of Civil Procedure. One of the eye witness deputies later confirmed that he had "consulted" her over 4 times prior to the trial. During this deposition, Mr. King asked me where a family member of mine works. He had spent about 30-40 minutes trying to convince me that I can tell him anything, that the entire record was designated confidential, that I had nothing to worry about - and at a deposition, you are obligated to answer the questions unless they are harassing. Mr. King also requested contact information for counselors from over 10 years ago, and that was the only question I didn't answer - I told him to provide the request in writing. At some point after that, I told Mr. King to not contact my family member at her workplace, and Mr. King responded "unless you fully and completely cooperate" with his request for contact information for counselors from 10 years+ ago, he would do exactly that - harass my family member with subpoenas sent to her workplace, as I had requested he not do, without EVER REQUESTING A DEPOSITION WITH HER, just using it as leverage.
At the hearing, the Discovery Magistrate (Donna M. Ryu) discussed matters only with Mr. King, without including me. He told her that the 4 eye witness deputies "saw nothing" and "weren't there" (verbatim) trying to get her to deny me my request to take their deposition. She asked him if he would get them to sign fresh "sworn declarations", "under oath" (Judge Ryu's words, verbatim) stating this. Mr. King said yes, absolutely, he would. Judge Ryu asked me "Would that be okay?" I said "No." She started laughing, and asked me why, and I explained that I had explicitly described various interactions with them that had taken place while the carotid hold was still being applied to me, and that they had stated in their written statements that they had witnessed force being used, and that I was "not resisting". She confirmed that this was all true with Mr. King and that he already knew all of this, and ordered him to cooperate with scheduling them for deposition. Mr. King then repeated the same phrases "saw nothing", "weren't there" to Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers prior to the trial.
After that, they went back to discussing matters only with eachother, and I was excluded from discussion. This was an hour long hearing, and at about the 45 minute mark, Mr. King was again lying to the magistrate judge, and when he had finished, I interjected, "That's not true". Judge Ryu shouted "Stop! Stop stop stop stop stop!" And then very assertively explained to me the importance of not interrupting people for the convenience of the court reporter / transcriber. I was excluded from the rest of the hearing.
At some point at either this hearing or the next one, I cited the legal requirement for the parties to disclose contact information for witnesses. I cited the rule of procedure. Judge Ryu responded, "Mr. King is a lawyer!" as if that alone justified his refusal to provide me contact information for EYE witnesses who saw the event. Mr. King and Ms. Abelson had also claimed that they did not have the contact information for the bystander witness (which was a lie), and refused to provide the contact information for the nurse. And when Magistrate Ryu ordered them to provide that, they only gave me the company name he used to work for.
Mr. King refused to provide both fresh written statements from the eye witness deputies as he had promised the magistrate, and to schedule them for deposition, and stated that if he provided written statements, they would be copied and pasted versions of the same statements previously provided, signed under oath (nowhere saying that they "saw nothing" or "weren't there").
Mr. King kept threatening to go to my family member's workplace unless I provided him contact information for counselors from 10+ years ago, DURING a DEPOSITION, without him providing any written request for the information.
He also interfered with scheduling the witnesses for deposition, with the Court reporter that I had hired, disregarded the schedule that I had set, and set them according to his own schedule, which raised the cost of deposition from an estimated about $700 to about $4,000, and said this was my one and only chance.
The Federal Pro Bono Project / the Justice & Diversity Center is an organization that receives seven million dollars a year in public funding and is under contract with the Federal District Court to work with the Court to provide legal consultation to pro se litigants. I had about 19 appointments with them, about 18 with Abby Herzberg, and 1 with Rosemarie Maliekel. Ms. Herzberg was precisely 15 minutes late to every single appointment, repeatedly gave me horrible advice ("just wait", do nothing, "don't file this", despite admitting that the entire motion was valid, directly causing excessive delay and the spoliation of crucial evidence). She also yelled at me aggressively on two occasions because I had brought up state laws, which were being currently violated against me, because the Court had dismissed my "state claims" because Sonoma County refused to supply with a state tort claim form when I first asked, reasoning that was not relevant to the state laws being currently violated against me. After Ms. Herzberg yelled at me the second time, I requested an appointment with Rosemarie Maliekel. Ms. Maliekel spent the entire appointment ranting at me about irrelevant issues, and kept talking over me and interrupting me. I was polite but eventually asked "can I finish what I was saying?" She responded "No!" and kept ranting at me.
I had repeatedly asked about how to properly get medical evidence, and about expert witnesses. Ms. Herzberg ignored my questions and spent nearly the entirety of almost every single appointment reading (or pretending to) through the rules, without letting me speak at all, even to summarize the relevant sections of the rules that I had read.
On a video on their webpage (on the Court's website, because they are a "partner project" with the Court), Abby Herzberg explicitly demonstrates a clear understanding of the fact that the Court provides funding for expert witnesses, despite ignoring my questions about that and spending nearly the entirety of almost every single appointment either reading rules or pretending to.
Discovery was closed.
Mr. King rehashed the legally baseless and frivolous "time barred" claim in a Motion for Summary Judgment. I was required to respond to it twice, and it was obvious Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers wanted to dismiss my claim, and I was required to disprove their baseless legal claims with several tens of pages of case laws. I was required to answer all his "undisputed material facts" under threat of terminating my entire case, but he refused to answer mine. He lied over and over to the judges. As I said, the judge ruled that the laws "wouldn't allow [her] to" dismiss my entire case and rejected his Motion for Summary Judgement.
The Court ordered the Federal Pro Bono Project (FPBP) to put me on a list for attorneys seeking clients. Ms. Herzberg told me that if I filed any motions, that the FPBP would not cooperate with the Court's order, until 1 month before my trial, instead of 6 months before. She also said that a law firm had reached out to them about my case over a month prior to that, and that the staff at the FPBP had not followed up. My filing privileges were then revoked by the Court.
An attorney, David Ratner, reached out to me, and scheduled an initial consultation, over Zoom, at which he stated he "hates cops", and gave a showing of being enthusiastic. I explicitly told him that I wanted to make sure we were on the same page as far as what to "aim for". I told him that I had been working for FIVE YEARS, that I had almost died, that I had suffered two different extremely serious injuries (though I was up front about the injuries being surreptitious and that there had been major delays and flaws with medical evaluation, due to the hospitals not taking my insurance at the time, and ongoing delays because of Covid, and other reasons). I told him that what I asked for was consistent with the most similar case (the Esa Wroth case of 2013) that I knew of (an ask of three million dollars). This was coincidental. I was not aware of the Esa Wroth case when I came up with that number. I agonized over the number to ask for, and had tried SEVERAL times to resolve the case for a tiny fraction of that amount, with Kristi Shultz, with Janell Crane, with Lynda Hopkins, several times with Ms. Abelson who refused to even hear me out, and SEVERAL TIMES with Mr. King, and spent a lot of time trying to come up with a amount that would be MUTUALLY AGREEABLE, EACH TIME and described the methods I used to come up with that number in detail in court documents. Mr. Ratner explicitly agreed to aim for that at the trial. During the Zoom conference, his partner Shelley Mollineaux, showed up about 15 minutes late, stayed for about 3 minutes without saying anything, Mr. Ratner made an awkwardly flirtatious remark to her, and she left without saying anything at all.
Mr. Ratner, and Ms. Mollineaux, who was set to represent me at trial under Mr. Ratner's supervision, then both went dark for over a month. They ignored my emails, voicemails, and messages that I left with their receptionists. There was a hearing, and then Mr. Ratner emailed me demanding "all the documents" that I had. I had over 50 gb of files across thousands of files, and spent about a month working with his paralegals sending them batches of files, and providing all the information they asked me for. Mr. Ratner forwarded me an email from Mr. King where King accused me of violating a court order regarding providing medical providers and the physical addresses of my entire family and my friends, which was false -- the Court had ordered me to provide him CONTACT information, at a second hearing, which wasn't significant, and I had fully and completely complied in good faith with all the Court's orders. Mr. Ratner accused me of not sending him "anything", after I had spent at least several weeks with his paralegals sending them batches of files and information, and he simultaneously threatened to ask the judge for leave to withdraw.
There had been major delays with medical evaluation due in large part to Covid, as well as delayed discovery of brain injury, which is very common, and other factors.
With trial set, Mr. Ratner forwarded me an offer from Defendants for $5,000. Upon discussion (which was 100% in email because he refused to talk over the phone and Ms. Mollineaux completely ignored me), he accused me of not doing Discovery right. I pointed him to the video I referred to earlier, which I had found since Mr. Ratner took my case, but wasn't aware of when I was interacting with the FPBP, where the FPBP (Abby Herzberg), and various District Judges from the Court I was litigating in, state that it is general policy (and it is official policy under the Court's General Order 25) to REOPEN DISCOVERY when a pro bono attorney comes onto the case, and to FUND DEPOSITION AND EXPERT WITNESS FEES.
Mr. Ratner stated he "won't file any motions" and ultimately elected to withdraw from the case over fulfill his legal obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct. Judge Gonzalez Rogers IGNORED MY REQUEST FOR A HEARING, and in her order granting him leave to withdraw about 2 months before my trial, thanked him. I had spent a ton of time trying to find private attorneys and trying to talk to the FPBP, telling them very clearly that I expected to be put back on the list.After Mr. Ratner withdrew, the FPBP refused to put me back on the list. I was forced into trial BY MYSELF, at 1-2 months prior to trial, after 3 months of my time being completely wasted by Mr. Ratner and his law firm.
I went through the appropriate legal process to submit an expert witness. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, as usual, completely ignored my motions, but allowed me to use him after I went through the entire legal process, and paid him thousands of dollars without knowing if I would be granted permission or not, and provided the Court a report stating that the carotid hold was ILLEGAL unless the subject exhibited "assaultive behavior" and that Defendants had never alleged any behavior of mine that constituted "assaultive behavior" (under POST Basic, during 2017). The expert was a Master level instructor at a police academy and former SWAT.
Mr. King provided his pre-trial disclosures, and it contained a document from Rohnert Park police department which had been extensively redacted on the copy that they had provided to me. The new copy contained the contact information for the bystander witness. I called him, and he confirmed that he saw the entire thing, that I had never yelled at the deputies before the first deputy grabbed my arm, and that I was not resisting at any point in time. I told the judge this. She had me call him at a hearing, and both me and Mr. King were allowed a couple of minutes to ask him questions, where he refused to admit that I was even "wiggling" when Mr. King badgered him.
RPPD later sent me the email correspondence between them and Mr. King and Mr. King clearly stated that he had that copy in his records without them sending it, but wanted them to send it to appear official, meaning they had the contact information for the bystander witness the entire time, when they repeatedly lied that they didn't have it.
The judge then refused to allow him to appear at the trial over Zoom (during the height of Covid, even though she let one of the deputies), and refused to summon him to the trial.
Just prior to the trial, the Judge accused me falsely of firing my attorney, and explicitly prohibited me from telling the jury about ANY of the Defendants previous statements about the camera's ability to record (that they had lied about it for 4 years). She explicitly prohibited me from submitting scientific evidence about the carotid hold. She allowed Mr. King to make extremely defamatory false remarks about me and my past which had a huge impact on the jury's perception of things. At a pretrial hearing, we had gone over about 110 documents that I wanted to present at the trial. She vetted about 40 as admissible at the hearing, but at the trial she only let me submit about 4. Defendants were allowed to submit a SECOND expert witness, both of whom worked for the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. The first was Andrew Cash. The second was James Naugle who had been disclosed literally a week before trial, without a report, and without allowing me to take his deposition. She refused to allow me to ask Mr. Naugle about case laws, or about information pertaining to the carotid hold. The Court refused to summon any of my treating physicians, whom I had provided the names and contact information for in my disclosures at the end of Discovery and some in my initial disclosures, and I had complied with Mr. King's written requests for information or objected within the boundaries of the laws (which I quoted and cited), in good faith, and complied with the Court's orders, in good faith.
I had informed the Court that I was scheduled for medical evaluations for brain injury AFTER THE TRIAL. The Court completely ignored this.
So it was my word against theirs. 5 years, at the time of the mistrial, to get a mockery of a trial, and have the jurors' time completely wasted. The jury wrote me a letter thanking me or something, but awarded me nothing.
I was diagnosed with organic brain injury after the trial. I had a similar test prior to the incident and had absolutely no problems and answered every question with no trouble. I now score in the FOURTH PERCENTILE on those areas.
Despite its length, this has been a short summary of all the events over the past 6 years. Much has been summarized, and much has been left out. I tried my best to balance completeness with leaving out irrelevant details.
There is no record of any misconduct on the part of anyone involved in this that is available to any law enforcement agencies or to the public. Nobody has been disciplined. No investigation was ever conducted. I was almost killed and was seriously injured, under a camera, and in front of witnesses, and spent 6 years working with the government. The government has done precisely NOTHING.
The County now routinely retaliates against me whenever we interact, in blatant violation of various laws.

I just got back from two weeks of train travel with eurail and wanted to give some insight into the process for wheelchair users since most of the relevant information is difficult or impossible to find. I used SBB, OBB, Trenitalia and Deutsche Bahn. My partner and I had second class youth tickets. The biggest takeaway is that most companies have serious flaws in their reservation system for wheelchair users and you should expect frustration, but also that things are likely to work out once you can talk to an actual person at the station.

• OBB: We took a Nightjet from Berlin to Zurich and a Railjet from Venice to Vienna. In both cases, OBB gave us significant free upgrades because there were no regular second class seats that are accessible. OBB had a form we could fill out on the website for booking the accessible seat, and they then sent an email confirming the seats were available and then asked us to pay the reservation fee. Once we were onboard, they asked to see our tickets and we showed our eurail passes. Unfortunately, OBB does not allow independent boarding since the trains are generally not at platform level and only have stairs up. They automatically booked assistance for all trains since we requested an accessible seat. We had to meet assistance teams at the main information booth for the station 20 minutes before the departure time and they accompanied us up to the platform (they also offered to push or take bags) where there was a lift to get me on the train. On arriving, a team was waiting at the platform with a lift for deboarding.

The Nightjet accessible couchette was quite large, and included a bunk bed with a larger lower bunk and a smaller top bunk. It also had a reasonably sized table, and a fair amount of free space. The bathroom was the room next to us, and was the bathroom for the whole car, but it was also quite nice and spacious.
The Railjet seat was in the first class section between the dining car and a bathroom. They have two accessible seats, including one with a space dedicated for your chair and allowing you to make a side transfer. Unfortunately, there was a very narrow part of the dining car that meant I couldn't actually get through to make an order, but they brought food and drinks out to us once my partner was able to order for us.

• SBB: SBB was by far the best in terms of basically everything. Trenitalia was supposed to book this for us (it was an international train and we reached out to Trenitalia first for various reasons), but they didn't and told us they did, so we had to go to the ticket office the day before. SBB was useless on the phone when we tried to confirm our booking and request an accessible seat when it became clear that Trenitalia never made the reservation. When we spoke to someone in the ticket office in Zurich, she was able to make the seat reservation for us (it seemed like you could not book that seat in any manner except by talking to someone at a station in Switzerland) and we paid the reservation fee there. The train was at platform level at departure so we didn't need any boarding assistance, which was wonderful. The seat itself was in first class and between the dining car and a bathroom and had space for a front transfer and for you to put your chair in front of you while facing a companion. There was space for two wheelchair users.

​

• Trenitalia: Trenitalia was the worst in terms of pretty much everything. Our biggest issue was that we kept getting into impossible reservation loops and they seemed unable to communicate between departments and with other train services, even when they were co-operators on a train. We were unable to book the accessible seat online or by phone because we were using eurail AND I'm a wheelchair user. It seems like you can book online if one or the other is true, but they have a gap for people for whom both are true. We were also unable to book by phone before our trip because the phone number we were given only works in Italy. We were able to book assistance through Sala Blu (their disability service), which was needed because most of their trains are not at platform level, and Sala Blu told us they made us a seat reservation for the accessible seat but just didn't. Our experience was that every time Sala Blu told us they had made a seat reservation (because only they could make us a reservation in an accessible seat), they hadn't. It seems like they had marked us as having the reservation within a system other Trenitalia employees did not have access to, so we had to redo all of our reservations either on the train or at the ticket office. Essentially, what we had to do was go to the ticket office, show them our eurail pass (which meant we had to go within 24 hours of our departure to show them the activated travel day) to show we had a ticket, have them make a seat reservation for a random seat, and then go to Sala Blu to have them change the reservation to the accessible seat. You must make a Sala Blu appointment at least 12 hours before departure for trains in Italy and at least 48 hours in advance for international trains or if your party is more than 2 people. In order to board, go to the Sala Blu office at least 20 minutes before your departure, let them know your name so they can check that you have an appointment, and then go to the platform where there will be a lift to get you on the train. We took Frecciarosa trains which were generally very nice and had accessible bathrooms near the accessible seat. The one onboard issue we had was that we couldn't use the onboard wifi because they never sent the required confirmation text. Our first train was wonderful, and had ample room for a front transfer and to have your chair out of the way. The second train was just a slightly wider 4 person booth, so there was not much room for either a transfer or having your chair out of the way.

Deutsche Bahn: We only took one DB train, an intercity that was booked through OBB since we were traveling from Vienna to Berlin. This train was at platform level in Vienna but not in Berlin, but they made us an assistance appointment for both ends anyway. This was the one train we took which had an accessible seat in second class. The accessible seat had an open space on one side of a long table, and a booth on the other side. It seems like their expectation was that you will stay in your chair. There was an accessible bathroom in the car and we were next to the dining car, but the dining car had stairs up to it. The biggest issue was that there was not nearly enough luggage space, so people put their luggage in the aisles, blocking off the bathroom since I couldn't get through.

Shanghai SIPG Bat Fans Club invites football fans of all backgrounds to join them for the 2023 Chinese Super League Season. This year they will create a new North Stand ultra supporter atmosphere in Sections A8 and A9 – behind the goal in SIPG’s brand new Pudong Football Stadium in Jinqiao.

Everyone always posts "is this worth it" but here's my "it's definitely worth it" post 😅 I'm also just in disbelief.
C+ and PS has been consistently 2k-3k more than main cabin for my trip, I've been checking all the time the last couple months since booking. D1 upgrade has been as low as $1700 and as high as $3000. Even when trying to change my first flight, it still was $1800+ for PS or D1. I've been main cabin, back of the plane, crossing my fingers the seat next to me stayed open. Randomly decided to open the delta app just now, since I was just complaining about a 9.5 hr flight with a bad back and being super tired from work...and saw that $499 price! Wanted to cry and still kinda shocked! My return flights, I'm exit row, at least.
First time on Delta One, and probably last for a long time with these insane ticket prices. It's an airbus 330-300. Not sure if that's the better or the worse of the delta one offerings but at this point, I don't even care lol I'm so excited!!!
