I give my friends to increase their hap- piness'f It is only a crabbed, sordid soul at thia crowning .summit of the year who asks what am I going to re¬ ceive. Children expect to receive and are happy in the thought, but rightly balanced ailults find their chief pleasure in giving. This does not include that class of chronic misers who by long years of cultivateti stinginess have .strangled every generous impulse, antl who suffer BO at the idea of giving up anything that it is necessary to administer co¬ caine to get them in a tlonative state but it. means and refers to the over¬ whelming majority of t)ur people. Once in a while there is a poor wretch so stingy that he is constantly in pain. The mere .suggestion that he give up the value of a peanut throws him into a cramp colic. To save expen.se he may raise his family on wild goose ber¬ ries and hazel nuts until his children fievelop into physical, mental and moral dwarfs, but fortunately such instances in this broad autl generous nation are tolerably rare. tele- Oas It.

TunUon of Franklin Council I dangerous condition of their crossings and avenues in a jiroper condition The recommendations caused con- siflerable argument, wherein it was stated that from time to time, antl at almtist every meeting of the Buard of Tratle recommendations were intrtitluc- ed, but that they died a natural death, so that ntithing was act-omplished. Freejiort is and has been growing at a great rate, and the time was rijie when the interest of every intliviilual tax¬ jiayer must be considereti. Actitin must be taken that will jirtive the most benefit-ial to the majority of the tax¬ payers, and the Board of Tratle was the jirtijier medium whereby any or every resident of Freejiort coukl ajijiear and make known their ideas of what was Jirojier antl right for the interest of the village at large, anti for the jiur¬ jiose of meeting this issue a substi¬ tute motion was made whereby the Presitient was authorizetl to ajijioinl a sjiecial committee of five to investi¬ gate every rocommentlatitin jiresontetl, ,select what tti their itlea was con¬ ducive to the most gotiti, antl to jiresent the same to the Btiard of Tratle at their meeting xiV January for its consitler¬ ation and atloption, after which they are to be jiresented to the Board of Village Trustees to be rectimmentlotl by them in their annual report antl iu the making up of thoir annual butlget, after which the members tif the Btiartl of Trade can be in a position to bring what Jiressure it can ujion the voters of the village for their .sujijiort at the next village election. President Foster apjiointed the folltiwing committee: J. B. Cartwright, Julius Detmer, Thomas Burleigh, Henry L. Crantlell antl Mr. Fredericks. After further routine business was conclutled, the Executive Committee submitted the following restilutitm as the sjiecial ortier of business for the evening: Rt\solvetl, That it is the .sen.se of this Board that a regular police force of five men be estab)ishetl for the pro¬ tection of the village, and that the Board of Village Trustees be retjue.sted to insert in the next butlget an amtiunt sufficient to ctiver the necessary ex- Ii(*nses. Resolvetl, That a comittee tif tifteeii be ajijiointed by the Chair to attend the next meeting of the Village Btiard of Trustees and present this resolution. When tirst pre.sentetl the re.solutitm tilled only for a force of four men, but ujion a recommendation, the num¬ bor was changed to five men .so as to allow for a force of four jiatrolmen, with one chief, who would be at all times at the jiolice headquartes where the services of a jmiIiceman coukl be set-ured at all hours. Ex-Village Presitient, Julius Detmer, j statetl that last year the idea of .secur¬ ing a forct; of three jiatrolmen was fully con.sideretl and was tleemed ad¬ visable, but owing to the extremely large butlget calleil for, over $12,000, the largest in the history of Freejitirt, it WHS not doomed advisable at that time, but that he thought that the vil¬ lage had incrt-asetl so wuiitlerfully tlur¬ ing the (last year that it woultl Uo atlvisable to submiUhe jirojiosition to the tax-jiayers ft>V their t-onsitieratiun at the noxt annual election. It was further stated that the adojition by this board rrl. various re- t-ommentlations antl the submission uf jirojiosititms to the voters in itself did not c-.imjilote the work of the Boartl of Trade, but that after the Village Boartl of Trustees hail favorably ac- ceedeil to the request tif the Board, it was the tluty of the members thereof to use their utmost eft'orts in securing the Jiassage of the jiropositions sub¬ mitted. It scarcely .seemetl fair ty elecL-a Boanl of VUlage Trustees wilb a Vil¬ lage Presitient, anil exjiect lhem ti^ tlevote consitlerable of their timo in the welfare of the village withtiut com- jiensation. and then tie their hands by refusing to vote a sufficiently large aji¬ propriation ftir the maintainance of the village interests.

Winter Fashion Trends for Your Bridesmaid from Weddington Way
One of the reasons we love winter (besides the fact that the world turns in a gorgeous snow globe) is that beautiful color palettes like deep jewel tones, elegant ivories and festive metallics start making their appearances in weddings. Our friends at Weddington Way helped pick some favorite shades for the perfect winter wonderland wedding.
Bring in the BubblyChampagne tones look fun and celebratory, much like its namesake drink of choice. What we especially love is that this iridescent pale gold gown can work with both elegant pearls and darker, edgier baubles. But the must-have accessory for this dress? A glass of bubbly!
$230, full length draped one shoulder stretch charmeuse gown with tie detail at bodice by Dessy.
Little Black DressThe little black dress is a staple for any woman's winter wardrobe, but this year we're seeing this trend cross over into weddings. Not only are they flattering on nearly every body type, but your maids will find themselves wearing this dress again and again even after the wedding day.
$224, soft satin sleeveless, 1950's inspired dress with a crew neckline and kissing razor back by Watters. (Horse hair belt style sold separately).
Winter WhiteWhat better way to celebrate a winter wonderland wedding than with bridesmaids dressed in gorgeous white gowns? This full-length gown pairs well with metallic touches or with a bright pop of color to spice things up. $240, off the shoulder stretch charmeuse dress with draped neckline and matching sash at natural waist by Dessy.
Jewel TonesOne of our favorite winter color palettes is rich jewel tones. At the top of that list is deep emerald, which not only gives a nod to the evergreen trees of winter but is also Pantone's color of the year.
$244, soft satin dress with demi cup, full shirred skirt with pockets and smocked back by Watters.

Snowdrop three seat sofa in Claret 245 251
Beautiful, extremely supportive yet comfy Fantastic service from Sofa.com. Beautiful product, comfy yet supportive (firm), great quality and fantastic communication with brilliant delivery timings. have already recommended sofa.com to my friends for their service as well as their products 09 March 2015
Very comfy sofa! We chose this product as we wanted a sofa that was going to give our backs good support and we are delighted with the end result! This sofa is REALLY comfy!! and it looks good too. 27 February 2015
Great fabric but sofa quite hard Took delivery of our snowdrop loveseat a few weeks ago and it looks perfect - the roosevelt velevt fabric is simply lovely . BUT I was completely taken aback at how hard the sofa is to sit on - not what I expected at all. We bought on line so it's our fault that we didn't go to a store and check one out but even so I thought the sit would be a bit more 'medium' than it has turned out to be. 09 February 2015
Comfy and stylish We love our new sofas and footstool. It was really tough choosing but thankfully the showroom is welcoming so we had some fun afternoons there. In terms of delivery, we were unlucky to be in December so we couldn't choose our date which was inconvenient, we didn't want to wait anymore! 27 December 2014
Beautiful sofa Really comfortable, lovely looking sofa. Fast delivery and great customer service, thank you 17 December 2014
Snowdrop three seater and loveseat Great sofas, solid and comfy, delivery slot spot on and order arrived before we expected. Very happy customers!! 01 December 2014
Brilliant experience Very nice showroom, attentive staff and - which is often forgotten by companies - great and reliable delivery crew and service. Had never heard about them (my wife found them on Google) but they got an admirer. 27 October 2014
appreciate the show room to check out the products; ordering and delivery easy and efficient Easy, efficient, helpful, friendly process & service. Nice product, loving the new sofa! 18 September 2014
Gorgeous to look at uncomfortable to sit on... Have bought from sofa.com before and been happy, but this sofa although looks gorgeous, the material is not really user friendly, need to put a blanket on it or it marks but its soooo hard we dont use it much! 17 September 2014
A genuinely beautiful sofa I picked this sofa after going to the showroom to see a totally different one in a fabric nothing like the one I eventually chose - which proves that it pays to visit! From the warm welcome when I visited to the two delivery guys who were the most efficient I have ever had, the whole thing has been a pleasure. The sofa is such good quality and genuinely beautiful. The only thing I would say is that it gets more comfy with time - when it arrived it did feel rather firmer than I expected although now I have spent more time lounging on it, it is beginning to feel super comfy like the one on show. 17 September 2014
Great sofa but base pillow lumpy Great sofa, lovely and comfy. We have only had it a month or so and the base cusion is already a little lumpy though. I did speak to the sofa.com team through online chat (prior to buying) to ask them how to address this and ensure that the pillow maintains its shape butI was not given a reply. Our existing sofa from sofa.com has foam base pillows and has kept it's shape for over 6 years! Overall though its a beautiful looking sofa and the fabric (natural sand) does it justice. A great feature piece in our living room! 11 September 2014
This sofa is the most comfortable one I've ever sat in, perfectly firm but with the soft layer of feather topping making it a dream to sit on. From beginning to end this purchase has been a delight, the friendly greeting with tea & biscuits to enjoy while able to relax on all the various styles to choose from. The service was just the right proportion of helpfulness without any pressure to buy. Value for money beats all the competition with top quality furniture. I bought the sofa & foot stool which arrived in good time & again pleasant delivery. Loving every part of this purchase. 08 September 2014
Sofas are as good as we expected, superb finish, beautiful material, the added pillows which were offered add to the comfort. Amazing sofas, superb materials from Sofa.com and excellent service from the csutomer care received in the shop to the delivery. Cannot fault the process and the products are superb, delivering on comfort and design. Our Love seat is a superb addition to our 3 seater in a Saturday design. 27 August 2014
Snowdrop sofas in charcoal When reading the sofa.com snow drop reviews there is not much about comfiness . But we here at Batson HQ think that they are extremely comfortable, especially with the delightful velvet scatter cushions. They are very well made. Smell lovely and fresh. Feel super soft. Extremely low maintenance so nothing needs to be done. And they look incredible!! We love them and so do everyone who has sat on them. 17 July 2014
Flawless service We ordered the sofa online after visiting the store in London. The sofa was made and delivered well within the timeframe specified. We were given a 2 hour delivery slot on a Saturday which was convenient and did not impinge too much on our day. The two delivery guys were slightly early but this wasn't so much of a surprise; they manoeuvred the sofa with ease, speed, and care in a tight hallway and had the sofa unpacked and prepared within 10 minutes. It was an incredibly efficient service. The sofa is exactly as we remembered and ordered. We ordered a second sofa from a rival company on the same day and are still waiting 3weeks on. Well done Sofa.com. 15 July 2014
Beautiful design. I needed a sofa quickly, so I ordered one in stock. Although I was a little hesitant about the colour, once it was delivered I was reassured. It is a truly beautiful looking piece of furniture. 18 June 2014
Gorgeous! Beautiful piece of furniture that looks stunning in room. Velvet is gorgeous dark inky purple. Delighted and would recommend. Not a sink-into-it sort of sofa but a sturdy-looking elegant piece. 12 June 2014
All good Would have loved not to wait so long but lovely when it arrived. The fabric is truly lovely and feels like a silk velvet. 27 May 2014
Snowdrop sofa 2 seat So pleased with the service from sofa.com and the quality of my new sofa. Would highly recommend to everyone. 07 May 2014
Absolutely love it. Comfy and love the sprung back. It will always look good and perfect with the footstool we ordered too. 21 April 2014
Outstanding! We love the fuss-free simplicity of our two Snowdrop sofas; comfy seats without lots of cushions to straighten up. The Italian tweed is marvellously robust without any scratchiness... soft and warm. The delivery was prompt and very efficient thanks to the strong, courteous young men who sorted everything out in two ticks and took away all the packaging afterwards. The arm cuffs I ordered separately are a perfect match, nicely tailored to the sofa style and discreetly inconsipicuous. Thank you, sofa.com staff, for your high quality product and service. 16 April 2014
Statement chair I ordered the snowdrop chair in raspberry and it has exceeded my expectation. I love it. The quality is excellent and the colour is perfect. The service too was fantastic. Would definitely recommend sofa.com. Thank you very much. 08 April 2014
Comfy sofa - well-made and promptly delivered This is a really nice, well-made sofa, which really suits the neural fabric offered. The price was competitive, the sofa was easy to order, pa for and arrange delivery, which was prompt, to time and very professionally executed. Nicely done! 20 March 2014
Brilliant service from start to finish! I love my new sofa! What I love even more, is how brilliant the whole process was from start to finish. Everyone is so helpful in the shop and the delivery men were quick and efficient and just really lovely guys! 19 March 2014
Very impressed. From first showroom visit to delivery Very impressed. From first showroom visit to delivery 17 March 2014
beautiful sofas, great service took delivery of 2.5 and 3 seater Snowdrop sofas in squirrel velvet. from our visit to the showroom through to delivery of the sofas, customer service has been excellent. The sofas look great and are a perfect fit in the living room (thanks to the handy postcards detailling each possible measurement). The fabric looks lovely, but does mark when sat on (probably because of the pile). As the sofa back is quite deep, it's more comfortable with cushions, but that's a personal preference. Overall we are delighted and would absolutely recommend the service and product. 17 March 2014
This product is fabulous These two sofas were my six and seventh purchase from sofa.com they are totally perfect and the range of materials gets better every time I order. 12 March 2014
Looks great I really love this chair, it's absolutely stunning and works really well with the Leon chaise sofa we bought. It fits two people comfortably. I marked it down one star on comfiness purely because if you sit right back on the seat cushion it does compress a little but I found adding some scatter cushions makes it 5 star comfortable again. I do like the fixed cushion back which is really comfortably padded. I'm very happy! 21 February 2014
Lovely elegant sofa The sofa is very elegant and fits beautifully in our living room window alcove. It is firm, but comfortable, and I'm sure it will soften up with use. The cat has adopted it as her favourite place to sleep, so we need to fight with her to occupy it! The delivery men were excellent - very friendly and helpful. 18 December 2013
Thrilled as always! Couldn't be happier all round. Sofa.com are a pleasure to deal with. 05 December 2013

Fix the Debt, Destroy the Recovery
David Walker announced his endorsement of Mitt Romney this week. The name might not ring a bell, but Walker was head of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the number one funder of deficit-hawkery in the United States. Walker, a former Comptroller General, has described himself and his crusade as bipartisan, and it is actually helpful that he has come out of the closet as a Republican.
Lately, Walker has been deeply involved with the efforts to levitate the late Bowles-Simpson Commission as a template for deficit-reduction, and has been working closely with the corporate-funded "Fix the Debt" campaign of more than 100 CEOs lobbying for an austerity grand bargain.
It's worth unpacking the economics and the politics of the austerity lobby.
The Fix the Debt campaign, much like the Bowles-Simpson Commission and the propaganda of the Peterson Foundation generally, contends that the projected national debt is depressing business willingness to invest now. Presumably, businesses are worried about inflation and uncertainty. But the government can fund ten-year bonds at less than 2 percent interest and thirty-year bonds at less than 3 percent. So investors don't seem worried about inflation. It's not lack of confidence in deficit reduction that's depressing business investment but lack of confidence in consumer purchasing power.
If anything, the economy needs more public spending to get us out of a deep slump brought to you by the very people behind this campaign. Cutting the deficit prematurely will only depress purchasing power and deepen the slump. That's the real lesson of Greece, Spain, Portugal, et al.
The only difference between the "Fix the Debt" campaign and a dozen kindred efforts such as the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the Pew-Peterson Commission, the Concord Coalition, and Bowles-Simpson Redux is that this one is funded and led by corporate CEOs. The campaign is on track to raise $100 billion in corporate money.
Last week, the campaign even did a major event at the New York Stock Exchange, a sign of the tin ear that operates in the corporate boardroom echo-chamber. It was Wall Street excesses that crashed the economy. And now, corporate CEOs are hectoring the 99 percent to tighten their belts.
Another splendid case of chutzpah, defined in the classic joke as the man who murders his parents and then asks the judge for mercy on grounds that he's an orphan: Several of the CEOs that lead the Fix the Debt campaign are heads of highly profitable corporations that pay no federal taxes.
According to a very helpful analysis by Americans for Tax Fairness, 13 of the corporations whose CEOs are behind this lobby paid zero taxes in recent years. Here is their chart drawn from an analysis of IRS data by Citizens for Tax Justice:
Federal Income Taxes 2008-2011
Profit 2008-2011 $ Billions
Tax Subsidies 2008-2011 $ Billions
General Electric
Honeywell International
Verizon Communications
$62 billion
$27 billion
David Cote, the CEO of Honeywell, and a member of the steering committee of the Fix the Debt lobby, is paid $55.2 million a year, and personally saved an estimated $2.5 million last year thanks to the Bush tax cuts. Americans for Tax Fairness calculates that 57 of the sponsoring CEOs save at least $1 million a year courtesy of the Bush tax breaks.
Another member of the steering committee is James B. Lee, Jr., co-chairman of JP Morgan. With Wall Street's other investment bankers, Morgan is relentlessly lobbying the government to water down the regulations carrying out the Dodd-Frank Act. It was the recklessness of Wall Street that pushed the economy into a deep hole, and these people want the license to do it again.
Others in this financial rogues gallery lending their names to Fix the Debt are Larry Fink, CEO of Black Rock, and Lloyd Blankfein, chairman of Goldman Sachs.
So if these guys were not utter hypocrites, they'd be lobbying to repeal cuts on their personal incomes and the loopholes that allow highly profitable companies to avoid taxation entirely, as well as for adequate financial regulation.
Even worse is the fact that prominent Democratic elected officials, now cozy with the business elite, have lent their names to this effort. In that hall of shame: former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and former Califorina Congressman Vic Fazio, as well as former Senator Sam Nunn, a longtime deficit hawk associated with the Peterson-funded Concord Coalition.
The other cute deception practiced by the Fix the Debt campaign is to portray their own efforts as a way to spare the economy from the harmful effects of the impending "fiscal cliff." That is the set of automatic "triggers" set to go off January 1, cutting spending by $1.2 trillion dollars, unless Congress acts to cut the deficit on its own. The Congressional Budget Office projects that deficit cuts of that magnitude will push the economy back into negative GDP growth in 2013.
However, automatic triggers have been a favorite device of the austerity lobby going back decades. So Fix the Debt is promoting deep cuts to spare the country deep cuts resulting from the earlier handiwork of the same crowd. The only difference between the fiscal cliff that the Fix the Debt campaign is invoking in its hysteria campaign and the one that the campaign itself wants to lead the economy off a cliff is a matter of degree. The CEOs would push us off a slightly lower cliff.
This stuff would be comical if it weren't so influential. And if President Obama is re-elected, the corporate CEOs add up to one more pressure group pushing him to agree to a budget-cutting deal that will be suicidal for the economy and for his legacy in a second term.
Deficit reduction in a deep slump is not a path to recovery but to a deeper slump.
The fact that corporate CEOs are behind this latest push should not give the campaign greater credibility, but rather should signal "buyer beware."
Despite the bipartisan camouflage, this campaign was always deeply conservative—hostile to social outlay, activist government, and a decent income distribution. Shame on any Democrat who doesn't see through it.

That chart that shows large corporations receiving tax subsidies and paying no federal income taxes is obscene. How anyone can vote for the mysterious teapublican tax plan is baffling. Also, cutting the Department of Education, FEMA, Planned Parenthood funding, Public Broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, employee unions, etc. etc. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. If we all vote, the teapublicans will have to practice their bigotry, exclusion, and obstruction elsewhere. Please do not miss this election. Our families cannot afford Mitt Romney's slash and burn/ trickle-down economics. Thank you!

I don't think many Americans quite grasp the austerity agenda. Under Bill Clinton, this agenda was adopted for our poor. Results were predictable in terms of increased infant mortality rates, a life expectancy among US poor that has fallen below that of some Third World nations, return of some diseases we thought had been eradicated, etc. These policies kill, and what we learned is that we finally have a generation of Americans who couldn't care less. The media (including progressive) has largely chosen to un-write the poor from the American story. The thing is, very, very little of what once went into welfare for the poorest still exists, having been redistributed upward. Today, two things alone consume over 50% of the fed. budget: annual handouts/tax cuts for the rich/corps. and the military, neither of which will be substantially cut. We no longer have the jobs that pay enough to bring in the taxes necessary to maintain the military and the country. Since there's virtually nothing left to take from the poor, it is necessary now to focus on austerity for the middle class. That's the only available money left. Upward wealth redistribution will continue; what the middle class did to the poor, the rich are now doing to the middle class.

This goes back to the founding of the country. Our "Founding Fathers" were all wealthy men (by the standards of the time). The Constitution was written to "protect wealth and property". (this was in the Federalist Papers). We are a "republic", not a democracy. As a matter of fact the Founding Fathers were quite clear that they did not want to create a democratic society. Republics are not "representative" of the people, but of the wealthy, property owning class. Who makes up the majority of Congress? Not ordinary working people. But the "licensed professions". The legal profession is vastly over-represented in Congress. These are generally men of wealth and property. Not true representatives of the "people" as such. To find "democracy", you have to look outside the USA for it as you will not find it here. In true democracies, all their citizens have the right to health care regardless of income. Not so here in the USA, which is further proof if any is needed of the true nature of our "plutocratic republic" as represented by Mitt Romney, a proud example of the sort of person held up as an ideal by the Republican Party, otherwise known as the party of the rich and the big corporations. And how did Mitt Romney become rich? Did he do it through hard work? Did he create something "useful"? The answer is that he engaged in "legal theft". Bain Capital did "leveraged buyouts", bought up companies with borrowed money. Then Bain would put the assets of the business as backing for a loan to pay off the loan that Bain made to buy the company. Bain would raid the company's pension fund, any other assets it could seize. Then the remainer would be liquidated, the machinery sold, the workers fired as they were no longer needed. Bain did this with a company making automotive sensors called "Sensa". Bain sold the company to the Chinese. Had the American workers as their last act train their Chinese replacements with the threat to without severance pay if they refused to do it. This is the sort of a man that is now running for President. In a proper society Mitt Romney would be serving time in a federal prison somewhere, instead of running for President!

Vette-Rod/Resto-Mod Corvette builds are on fire today. As many people are discovering, you can have the best of both worlds with these Corvettes. The current trend is to have the look of a classic Corvette with all the creature comforts of the late-models, while blending in the performance and handling of a C4/C5 caliber car. The result is cool, early-Corvette styling with 21st century drivability.
We're currently building a Resto-Mod '68 Corvette that has plenty of power, anti-lock brakes with BAER six-piston calipers, Vintage Air A/C, and plenty of suspension upgrades. One important upgrade to the car was rack-and-pinion steering, which requires new steering linkage to connect to the steering column for our Resto-Mod. When we got to that part of the job, the original '68 non-tilt column was in rough shape and was either ready for a rebuild or to be replaced.
The simple solution was to replace the column with a new Flaming River tilt column that is ready to go with four-way flashers and new turn-signal switch technology. Flaming River offers tilt columns with the correct diameter tube to fit correctly in the dash of any '63-'68 Corvette. Their tilt columns are a nice addition to the early Corvettes, especially when you're entering and exiting the cockpit. in the past, there wasn't a new tilt column available, and we had to retro-fit a difficult-to-find, used one from another GM vehicle.
There are also adapters available to reinstall your original steering wheel or one of the many new Flaming River steering wheels that are offered. Once installed, the column looks like it was installed on the assembly line. Flaming River also has highly polished, 304-grade stainless steel column assemblies if you're looking to add some "bling" to your ride.
In our installation, we went for the mill-finish stainless steel tilt column so we could paint it the interior color and then top it off with a cool-looking Flaming River steering wheel. The steering wheel we picked had bright-silver carbon-fiber material with a red leather covering. We liked the carbon-fiber silver on the steering wheel so much we replaced the custom seat inserts with the same material.
