A small town in valley stream NY. THis town is primary jewish and contains at least 79% stoners. There is a local shopping center where jerry's bagels is located. It kicks ass! go check it out. The town seems to be gradually increasing with russians out of know where but w.e. On weekends kids roam the streets looking for weed and for some odd enough reason have not been introduced to cocain yet. This own has it own park which people from the town generally dont go to since there is the possibility of people jumped.

I was talking to this guy at the trailhead, and noticed that even though his North Face pack had to be a good 15-20 years old and faded from the sun, it wasn't ripped and all the seams were still solid! I hope my Gore-tex jacket lasts that long.

The school located in Northern Harford County near the Baltimore County and Pennsylvania lines. Yes, we have an extensive Agriculture Department, an on-campus barn with livestock, and a "Drive Your Tractor To School" Day. But that's ok. We are awesome kids who throw the best damn field parties ever and we'd rather be labeled as "hicks" than be a Fallston heroin addict. We always say "hello" and are genuinely the nicest and most sincere people you will ever meet. The parking lot consists of BIG trucks and...more trucks. We drink beer, listen to country music, and wear Carhartts all year long. We hang out in barns, fields, or anywhere the 4-wheel drive can take us. Our sports teams are awesome...fear the hawk. We have the usual cliques - preps, jocks, freaks, geeks and plain Janes but we all share one common pride, "Once a duckfarmer, always a duckfarmer."

Get the North Harford High School mug.The North Hollywood shootout was an armed confrontation between two heavily-armed and armored bank robbers, Larry Phillips, Jr. and Emil Matasareanu, and patrol and SWAT officers of the Los Angeles Police Department in North Hollywood, California on February 28, 1997. Phillips and Matasareanu engaged responding patrol officers in a firefight when they attempted to leave the bank they had just robbed; sixteen officers and civilians were wounded before both of them were shot down.
Phillips and Matasareanu arrived at the Bank of America branch office at the intersection of Laurel Canyon Blvd. and Archwood St. in North Hollywood around 9:17 a.m., and set their watch alarms for 8 minutes, which was the amount of time they estimated it would take for law enforcement officials to respond. (Phillips had been using a radio scanner to listen to police transmissions.)10 As they walked into the bank, however, dressed in dark clothes from head to toe and armed with an assault rifle each, a patrol car of the LAPD was driving down Laurel Canyon—and the officers in the car radioed in a possible 211, code for an armed robbery.11 Inside the bank, Phillips and Matasareanu forced the assistant manager to open the vault; they fired at least 100 rounds to scare those inside the bank so that there would be no resistance.12 They were able to get just over $300,000, since that day's money delivery had not yet arrived.8 At 9:38 a.m., Phillips exited the bank through its north doorway, Matasareanu exited through its south doorway, and they encountered dozens of LAPD patrol officers who had arrived after the first-responding officers radioed a "shots fired" call.13
Phillips and Matasareanu engaged the officers in a firefight, spraying armor-piercing (full metal jacket) rounds into the patrol cars that had been positioned on Laurel Canyon in front of the bank. The patrol officers were armed with standard Beretta 92FS 9 mm pistols and .38 caliber revolvers, and some also carried Ithaca 12-gauge pump-action shotguns, but the body armor worn by Phillips and Matasareanu was strong enough to withstand them.8 Multiple officers and civilians were wounded in the 7 minutes between when the shooting began and Matasareanu entered their white sedan to make a getaway; Phillips remained outside of the vehicle and continued firing upon the police.8 A TAC (tactical) alert was issued, and 18 minutes after the shooting had begun, a SWAT team—armed with automatic weapons—arrived in response to the alert and engaged Phillips and Matasareanu; they also commandeered an armored truck which they used to extract wounded civilians and officers who were pinned down.8 A nearby gun shop, B&B Sales owned by Bob Kahn, provided the outgunned officers with multiple rifles, including Colt AR-15s, the civilian version of the American M-16 rifle. None of the borrowed rifles were used in the shootout, however they were not immediately returned to the store either.14

At 9:51 a.m., Phillips, who had been using the getaway vehicle as cover, split up from Matasareanu, turned east on Archwood St., and continued to fire at the police with his AKM.15 He reloaded the assault rifle with a 100-round drum magazine shortly before he was shot in the left thumb, which may have prevented him from removing the shell that caused a stovepipe malfunction in his AKM.8 He set it down, pulled out a Beretta pistol, and continued firing at the police with his unwounded right hand. He dropped the pistol and picked it up, and shortly thereafter, Phillips placed the muzzle of his pistol under his chin and apparently shot himself while a round from a police sniper's rifle simultaneously severed his spine.16 The question remains as to whether Phillips intentionally committed suicide or accidentally squeezed the trigger when his spine was severed while attempting to reload his weapon one-handed.17
Matasareanu's vehicle was rendered nearly inoperable after its tires were blown out.8 At 9:56 a.m., he commandeered a pickup truck on Archwood, three blocks east of where Phillips was shot down, and transferred all of his weapons and ammunition from the getaway car to the truck.18 However, Matasareanu was unable to start the truck since its owner had taken the keys with him when he fled.8 A patrol car driven by SWAT officers quickly arrived—Matasareanu left the truck, took cover behind the original getaway car, and engaged them immediately. At least one SWAT officer fired his M-16 below the cars and wounded Matasareanu in his unprotected lower legs, and he soon surrendered.8 The police radioed for an ambulance, but Matasareanu succumbed to his wounds by the time the ambulance had reached the scene.
Most of the incident, including the death of Phillips and the capture of Matasareanu, was captured on tape by news helicopters that hovered over the scene and televised the action as events unfolded.19 Over 300 various law enforcement officers had responded to the city-wide TAC alert.20 By the time the shooting had stopped, Phillips and Matasareanu had fired about 1,300 rounds.8 Phillips was hit 11 times, including the self-inflicted shot to the head; Matasareanu was hit 29 times, and died from shock caused by blood loss.19
