A luxurious doomsday bunker complex designed to comfortably survive any apocalypse has sold out all of its condos – despite the fact that prices range from $1.5 to $3million.
The Survival Condo Project is a luxury complex housed 15 storeys below ground in a former missile silo near Concordia, in Kansas.
It is designed to comfortably survive any apocalyptic disaster such as global health pandemics, cataclysmic weather and terror attacks, including a nuclear one.

The condos are equipped with all the amenities and resources that its residents need to survive for around five years.
The missile silo was originally built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1960s for the Atlas F missile, and there were 72 of them around the country.
The walls of the silo, constructed out of epoxy-hardened concrete, are 9 feet thick and designed to survive a direct nuclear strike.

The survival condos are designed to hold up to 70 people and have enough resources to keep them alive for years, as they wait for the dust to settle.

A single condo is nearly 2,000-square-foot in size and cost anywhere from $1.5 to $3 million.

Larry Hall, the brainchild behind the project, says that the condos are already sold out, but he is currently working on a second.

The condos are equipped with a number of modern amenities including flat-screen TVs, a community pool, theater, workout area, classrooms and library, and a minor surgery center.

Each residential unit is provisioned with a five-year supply of freeze-dried and dehydrated survival food per person.

The air supply for the entire facility is filtered by Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical filters, and the physical air intakes are protected by blast valves that prevent an overpressure air wave created by a nearby explosion from entering the facility and killing those inside.
Power is provided by the local electric grid, with a backup large wind turbine, and a diesel generator, while water is provided from redundant sources and purified for consumption.

On the security aspect, the facility has a military grade security system that includes infrared cameras, proximity sensors, microphones, trip sensors, and passive detectors.
Numerous levels of blast doors are designed to withstand sizable explosives protect the facility’s entrance.
The Survival Condo Project is not the only one of its kind. Elsewhere around the United States, privately owned bunkers in decommissioned military sites are creeping up as a new breed of wealthy survivalist are emerging.

Winnipeg Crime Statistics March, 2017

crime1

After a blistering start the homicide count has stabilized and is the same as this time last year. For some unknown reason sexual assault is down, perhaps more civil drinking parties in the North End. Not much change when it comes to shootings. Robbery and break and enters have skyrocketed. Thieves and desperate welfare recipients on the prowl. Theft of motor vehicles up 49%! Is it possible the crooks have figured how to get around the iron clad immobilizer? That is highly unlikely, criminals in Winnipeg don’t have the sophistication to figure that out. Probably people leaving their vehicles running while they run into Tim’s for a java.

Assiniboine River Update

A big snow-pack this year is going to cause flooding on the two major rivers of Winnipeg, the Assiniboine and Red rivers. If rain kicks in early, get out the sandbags. Rain is predicted for tomorrow and the dreaded Colorado Low is suppose to hit the city on Tuesday.

Trump to Congress last week: time to stop trivial fighting

Trump yesterday: Trump to Arnie: You were ‘fired’ from ‘The New Celebrity Apprentice’ over bad ratings; Arnie to Trump: Hire a ‘fact checker’

The president of the United States of America has a feud going on with the Terminator. Help us all.

NEW YORK — In typical Donald Trump fashion, the president tweeted Saturday that his replacement at the The New Celebrity Apprentice reality television show is to blame for its poor ratings and not, as Arnold Schwarzenegger says, Trump’s continued involvement with the show.
Schwarzenegger, who replaced Trump as host of the show while the president remained its executive producer, announced Friday he’s through. He said even if he were asked again, he wouldn’t want to host the show.

“With Trump being involved in the show, people have a bad taste and don’t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show,” he said in an interview with the Empire website. “It’s a very divisive period now, and I think this show got caught up in all that division.”

But Trump, who has taunted Schwarzenegger for the show’s poor performance in the ratings and even mocked him during an address at the National Prayer Breakfast, tweeted in response Saturday: “Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show.”

The Crusher

Reginald Lisowski (July 11, 1926 – October 22, 2005) was an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, The Crusher (sometimes Crusher Lisowski to distinguish him from other Crushers, such as Crusher Blackwell).

crush

In 1964, the Minneapolis-based garage rock band The Novas wrote a song dedicated to him called “The Crusher”, with lead singer Bob Nolan imitating the raunchy voice of Crusher Lisowski (and his trademark yell at the beginning of the record). The tune, which included the lyrics “Do the hammer lock, you turkeynecks!” was popular in the upper Midwest and made it to #88 on the national Billboard chart. It was later covered by The Cramps on their album Psychedelic Jungle. The song has received a resurgence of popularity in recent years, as David Letterman has often played it on his late-night talk show. The Ramones released “The Crusher” paying tribute to Lisowski on their last studio recorded album, Adios Amigos.

THE CRAMPS LYRICS – The Crusher

Rape!

Do the hammer lock!
Do the hammer lock!
Do the hammer lock, you turkey necks!
Do the hammer lock!
Do the hammer lock, you turkey necks!
Everybody’s doing it!

Do the eye gouge!
Do the eye gouge!
Now do the eye gouge, you turkey necks!
Now do the eye gouge!
Do the eye gouge you, turkey necks!
Everybody’s doing it!

All right, you turkey necks! I wanna teach you how to do the Crusher!
And if you don’t learn it now, I’m gonna getcha in the ring!

Now first you take your fist,
And you put it on your waist,
Then you squeeze your partner’s head
Until she’s blue in the face!

Yeah do the crusher!
Do the crusher!
Do the crusher, you turkey necks!
Do the crusher!
Do the crusher, you turkey necks!
Everybody’s doing it!

A tour of The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada

I have never been to the museum. Not sure exactly why, but it is totally worth the trip. It’s located right on the edge of Richardson International Airport, so many take off and landings can be seen from the museum’s observation deck. Admission fees are minimal, friendly staff and great exhibits.

The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada (formerly the Western Canada Aviation Museum) is a museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is the second largest aviation museum in Canada. The collection is housed in an original Trans-Canada Air Lines (today operating as Air Canada) hangar dating from the 1930s.

Many very good model displays.

The crazy Avrocar.

The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar was a VTOL aircraft developed by Avro Aircraft Ltd. (Canada) as part of a secret U.S. military project carried out in the early years of the Cold War. The Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a single “turborotor” blowing exhaust out the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft to provide anticipated VTOL-like performance. In the air, it would have resembled a flying saucer.
