Makes it easy to carry a tank around. No more carrying it by the valve or throwing it over your shoulder. Especially handy if you have more then one tank to carry.

I really like this tank. I have an Al. 80 as well and this tank is much better. It has great bouyancy and lets you eliminate weights. The 100 cu. ft. is nice too because it lets you extend the dive a little longer with a better safety margine. If your looking for a tank go with STEEL.

Return to story
EDUCATION: Master Jose was educated in Cuba and trained by the elite Cuban Sports Federation in Olympic-style tae kwon do. Elyse Acanda holds degrees from George Mason University and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
FIRST JOB: Tae kwon do instructor at a junior high school in the province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba.
WORST JOB: Loaner car manager at a car dealer in Chantilly.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? A police officer.
HOW DID YOU END UP OWNING BOA MARTIAL ARTS INC.? We moved to Fredericksburg and opened the school from scratch in March 2010.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST DECISION YOU'RE WRESTLING WITH NOW? Soon we will need to renegotiate our lease with the shopping center or decide to move to a different location.
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT YOUR JOB? I wish more of our parents would do tae kwon do with their kids and get active. We love seeing parents set a positive example and take good care of themselves!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB NOW? We really enjoy the little communities that we've built--BOA is home to our tae kwon do families, our kickboxing and jiujitsu students, and our Heart to the Sky Yoga Space devotees. I love seeing the positive impact that training has on my students, and my wife really loves sharing yoga with all her students.
WHO WAS AND IS YOUR HERO? When I was a kid, my hero was Fidel Castro because that's what I was taught to believe. Now, I look up to everyone who takes care of their families and works hard to improve.
WHO WAS YOUR MENTOR AND WHAT WAS THE BEST ADVICE THEY GAVE YOU? Joaquin Palacios, my principal trainer in Cuba. The best advice he ever gave me was to always try to do the right thing and to help people.
WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT THE BUSINESS CLIMATE HERE? In the United States, you can open any business and, through hard work and confidence, anyone can succeed.
HAVE YOU EVER WORKED WITH A NOTABLE PERSON OR CELEBRITY? IF SO, WHO? I was friends with Hector Lombard back in Cuba. He's a famous UFC fighter now but wasn't when I knew him.
WHAT BUSINESS BOOK DO YOU RECOMMEND THE MOST AND WHY? "Rework" by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, because it's straight up common sense.
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR GREATEST CAREER ACHIEVEMENT? I am proud of my students' achievements and my own dedication to deliver consistent, great service to my students every day.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE THINKING ABOUT STARTING A BUSINESS RIGHT NOW? Build up their confidence and do the research, so they can be sure they know what they're doing.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO BE DOING WHEN NOT WORKING? Spending time with my family, we love spending time at the parks and river here in Fredericksburg.
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER SPEND TIME WITH, WARREN BUFFETT, DORIS BUFFETT OR JIMMY BUFFETT? Definitely Warren Buffett.

Lifereef Prefilter box
Installation and Operation
Despite never having installed an overflow box before, I found this to be an easy install.
The only thing to suggest is that you Read the Instructions before setting it up.
I can't say my install took only 45 mins, because I had to do all the tank/sump plumbing at the same time, but if I'd had everything plumbed beforehand then 45mins would have been about right.
Operation is simple. After getting rid of the air bubble in the siphon tube, it just works.
Adjustment is easy, just move the inner box up or down to give the water level you want in the tank using the plastic wing-nut.
Performance vs. Expectations
There is very little noise from the down tube.
The inner box is easily adjusted while running so you can fine tune the tank level.
I don't need to worry about the siphon breaking - the only time it happened was when I did a cleaning of the inner box using a siphon and removed all the water - ooops, my fault, not a problem with the design.
I've had it running for 6 mo.s & turn off my return pump at least once a wee for water changes & don;t even think about the overflow, it starts up every time.
With a 3ft drop to the sump and running 1" drain line, it moves about +500gph.
Value for money
This overflow may be one of the more expensive on the market, but I don't worry about flooding.
Having read many reviews of other overflows that are unreliable, I don't worry about the Lifereef causing a flood.
Worth the extra $, just for the security.
Customer Support
They are great.
Before I bought it, I phoned the support line & got lots of info and advice - from set up to maintenance.
Even if I wasn't sold on it before, after talking to them I was impressed.
Liked about it
Easy to set up
Easy to maintain
Didn't like
Siphon tube can get broken
Inner box gets dirty

Black Dress Shirt
Just like white, Black dress shirt is a must in your wardrobe, because an exquisite dinner calls for dinner suite which is useless without black shirt. Black color shirt is so versatile that it hides imperfections and adds more class to a given outfit. The versatility a black shirt provides is that it can be worn with just about anything.
Black shirt has a tendency to fade away over time especially when washed and dried in a certain way, it is best to dry black shirts indoor rather than subjected to direct sun rays. Even then our exclusive super fine 100% cotton black range is less vulnerable than our competitors.
Natty Shirts
offers black toning from grayish black to jet black in variety of fabric qualities from broadcloth, chino, chamere, self stripes and checkered to herringbone starting from only $39.99

Classic Miranda, 2011: "Bin Laden was killed by the US and yet we've heard barely a peep from the Muslim world. You hear more anguish on the ABC. A couple of dozen Palestinians rallied outside a Gaza university, in the one resolutely fanatical place in the world where support for al-Qaeda squeaked over 25 percent. The war on terror is not over but, ten years after September 11, history is beginning to vindicate John Howard, Bush and Tony Blair. Bin Laden died a failure."
|They weren't exactly dancing in the street in Pakistan. The fact that Bin Laden was able to live for years there near a military academy is pretty suspicious, though it's not hard to see why they'd favour him over the USA when drones have been more effectively blowing up Pakistani civilians than Al Qaeda.

Night of the Final Day
-12 Hours Remain-
It's come to my attention that the name Insert Token is copyrighted material by another gaming website, so I have little choice but to change the blog's name. However, rather than just changing the name and graphics, I'm going to go ahead and make an entirely new, independent blog. The same staff of writers and posters will be intact, and every original post will be reposted at the new blog.
It's completely blank at the moment, but that will change in the coming days. I'm asking all current Insert Token followers to please follow the new blog, Geaux Game. Posting on Insert Token, as well as on Facebook, will continue until the transition is final. I look forward to seeing you all on the new blog, and thank you for your patience and understanding.

It was clear from the jump that Johnson had no interest in producing anything more than a light sweat. In a game filled with rim-rattling dunks and gulfs in the lane for offense, Johnson approached the paint like it was molten lava.
Checked in for the first time with 1:12 in the first quarter, and was so inconsequential that the official NBA.com box score didn't even notice that he was there:
So that was cool.
Missed two right corner 3's in the second quarter, but in his defense, he only got a chance to shoot two of those yesterday. Hit his second shot, a midrange jumper, because that's what the All-Star Game is all about, shooting midrnage jumpers.
Knocked down a quick three upon entering the game in the third quarter, before promptly missing two more. Didn't play again.

My last night
My last night in Africa was a quiet one, but I prefer 'chillin' more than a big 'wild party' anyway. Tory and I were a little shaken up about being held at knife point and the brothers had all gone off the solve the situation.
Christina had a going away party for me, but it turned out to be much less lively than the other volunteer's parties. Because of the upcoming Cape Coast Festival, for the month of August there is an ordinance that prohibits public loud speakers. It has been a quiet month, much different without music blasting 24/7, but we were not able to have loud music. We were also not able to rent a tent for the roof because they are all leased out for the upcoming festival. So, we had the party downstairs inside around the dining table. Right before we sat down to eat, the electricity went off- so we had to eat in the dark. The brothers ate fast, got their army together, and left to go "talk" to Kweku. My going away party was just Tory and me, sitting on the roof talking about the mugging and awaiting the return of our brothers.
Around 11pm, the heros finally returned with Tory's stuff! What am I going to do when I get home and I don't have my posse of 6 big, black bodyguards for brothers?

Hi, there. We aren't medical professionals here, but I think it's very important that you, at the very least, call your doctor and find out what you should be doing. If the Paxil had stopped working, your doctor may want you to try something else. Even if you go back to the Paxil, there might be a specific way that is best to do it, perhaps by tapering off the Cymbalta gradually while re-introducing the Paxil, I don't know. Please talk to your doctor, it's his job to help you in this situation.
Thanks for your question and hope you soon are feeling better.

La Veracruzana is one of those Northampton (and Amherst) destinations that has achieved iconic status. It's a stalwart, a restaurant that reliably delivers tasty fare for a quick lunch or a substantial dinner.
As a Texan, I cannot sustain my existence without Mexican food, so I've long been grateful that La Veracruzana has become a mainstay of the downtown foodscapes on both sides of the river. It's second only to my own kitchen in terms of repeat visits.
La Veracruzana's affable owner Martin Carrera says he has fully embraced the simplicity of what he offers—the restaurant's new motto is "We do Mexican food"—and that simplicity is what's made it an irresistible lunchtime draw for years. An order of bean tacos or a bean burrito still only tops out around $5, and provides a rustic and filling repast. Top it with something from the wide-ranging salsa bar, and simplicity isn't really the operative word any longer: the choices include plenty of variations, from a tangy tomatillo sauce on the mild side to a diablo sauce with a perfectly pitched, vertigo-inducing dose of fiery habanero at the other extreme.
It's also true that simplicity only prevails at the level of individual dishes. The menu is so large it would take a raft of visits just to plumb its depths. In a lot of cases, a huge menu means a dilution of the cooks' mastery, and only a handful of dishes stand out. In La Veracruzana's case, every time I've departed from the more standard fare, I've come away swearing to try something new the next time, too. Give up your daily burrito for tamales, for tortilla soup, or for tortas (sandwiches), and you'll be greeted with something distinctive, yet clearly derived from the same tradition.
All the same, you can't beat Carrera's West Coast-style burritos, or the crown jewel of his menu, enchiladas Suizas. The latter is a version of enchiladas that arrives with a creamy sauce that bridges beautifully the slight smokiness of corn tortillas and the satisfying heat of habanero salsa. Finishing a plate induces a pleasant alternate state, a sort of spice-fueled reverie.
Veracruzana's burritos and enchiladas represent a wide range of Mexican food styles, one an Americanized, modern convenience, the other a more complex and traditional south-of-the-border offering. Carrera was born in Veracruz on the Gulf coast of Mexico and grew up in California and Washington state, and he says the breadth of his menu is a reflection of his widespread experience. Rather than attempt to offer food that's strictly faithful to the cuisine of any one region, Carrera, in keeping with his laid-back and friendly demeanor, happily embraces whatever fits into his own vision.
He points out that Veracruz is particularly seafood-centric, and says that his menu does reflect that. His fish tacos are a prime example. Pan-fried fish fills corn tortillas, and is topped with Carrera's "secret sauce," cabbage, tomato and cilantro. It's a bright, juicy variation on the usual hard-fried shell dripping with beef grease (you won't find that usual American-standard taco at La Veracruzana at all). The fish torta—whitefish on a bun, accompanied by guacamole, chips and salad—is a similarly unexpected variation on the usual Mexican restaurant fare, a light and summery treat. Spend a few minutes perusing the Northampton location's enormous menu board, and you'll find plenty more seafood treats.
Carrera is a fan of good beer, too, and though his license is seasonal (the restaurant recently re-opened its taps), his offerings hold their own with other nearby beer meccas like Sierra Grille and The Dirty Truth. Right now, he's offering a lineup of Stone Brewing beers that includes, among other things, an IPA and a highly unusual beer called Vertical Epic. The latter is an aged beer that's quite hard to pin down—Carrera says that one of the musicians in Los Lobos described it best when he dropped by the restaurant recently, saying it was as if someone dropped a chardonnay into his beer. Which, as Carrera points out, is a unique take that somehow really works.
Carrera seems excited to do what he does. He's full of knowledge about the new restaurants sprouting up on his end of Main Street (he's outlasted a fair few since opening his doors in the early '90s), and talks excitedly about what's coming up at La Veracruzana. Music is part of the mix, with Latin group Markamusic playing every other Friday, and some temporary changes to the menu are on tap for June's Restaurant Week in Northampton. Carrera says he has, at times, offered a sample-style option to give people a taste of several dishes, and a dinner for two with a wide array of sampling choices is in the works for the June week.
"Who knows?" says Carrera with a smile—those sample options might even stick around a while.
Hi, my wife of 10 years is Veracruzana; we lived in the capital of Veracruz (Xalapa) 4 years and currently live in Guadalajara, Jalisco. I knew "La Veracruzana" in the early 90s when it was exclusively a burritoria, when I studied at Hampshire College. Being more "Veracruzano" (by default) than Martin, who only lived in Veracruz the first year of his life, and being an "expert" on international cuisine, especially Mexican cuisine, I can tell you that most of Martin's history is a marketing gimic and the restaurant is more deserving of being classified Cal-Mex than it is deserving of being classified Authentic Mexican and much less Veracruzano. Fish Tacos came to California from Baja California. You will not find fish tacos in Veracruz. And, while the coastal cuisine of Veracruz has a strong seafood influence, Veracruz cuisine (like all of Mexico) is almost strictly based on pork and chicken... If you were to come to the Port of Veracruz, and visit the port of Alvarado, the Port of Tuxpan (near the highland oil town of Poza Rica where Martin supposedly was born), the UNESCO funded town of Tlacotalpan or the incredibly beautiful lake town of Catemaco (famous for their "brujos"; witches---it's a marketing gimic too), you will find these traditional items on the menu: Red Snapper (Huachinango) a la Veracruzana, Fried Tilapia/Mojarra, Shrimp a la Diabla, Shrimp or fish smothered in garlic (Mojo de Ajo), Chilpachole de Jaiba (a special crab bisque), Caldo de Camaron (Shrimp Soup). In the port of Veracruz you will also find "Arroz a la Tumbada" (Cuban influence which is Arroz con Mariscos or Seafood Rice). I may be leaving out a dish or two. But, what you will NOT find are Fish Tacos. And you will not find Whitefish in the state of Veracruz. Martin Carrera would not be able to varify any of his claims about being Veracruzano and claims to authenticity of his cuisine being from Veracruz, because he has NEVER set foot in Veracruz as an adolescent or an adult, let alone Mexico. But, I imagine he offers good food for the Pioneer Valley.
Geez. Says right there in the story "Carrera was born in Veracruz on the Gulf coast of Mexico and grew up in California and Washington state, and he says the breadth of his menu is a reflection of his widespread experience." Doesn't say he's offering some sort of recreation of Veracruzana cuisine.
Also" Rather than attempt to offer food that's strictly faithful to the cuisine of any one region, Carrera, in keeping with his laid-back and friendly demeanor, happily embraces whatever fits into his own vision."

An intermodal transportation center at the Las Vegas Convention Center is in the works.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Rossi Ralenkotter is expected to share details about the project Thursday at Preview Las Vegas.
Ralenkotter is one of five speakers who will talk about what's on the horizon for Southern Nevada this year at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce's premier networking event. It runs from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV.
Speakers will address an estimated 2,000 attendees -- the largest number of people to attend Preview since 2008 -- from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Cox Pavilion. Tickets cost $80 at the door.
Ralenkotter, a longtime LVCVA executive, has been a staple speaker at Preview for years. This year, he will address tourism trends and is expected to explain the strategy behind refurbishing the Las Vegas Convention Center, an $890 million project that was delayed in 2008 when the economy soured.
The updated project, which has gained new steam, includes a plan to build a transportation center that would improve movement in and out of the convention center. Planning is in the early stages, but sources say the center would be located at what is now the Gold Parking Lot at the northwest corner of Paradise Road and Convention Center Drive.
Another speaker's presentation also will have a transportation bent. Tom Skancke, a longtime transportation consultant who recently was appointed president and CEO of the Las Vegas Regional Economic Development Council, is expected to discuss the role of McCarran International Airport, high-speed rail and the proposed Interstate 11 project on Southern Nevada's economy.
The event's keynote speaker will be Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh, who will explain how business, cultural, city and community interests work together downtown and how the joint effort can propel the city as a driver of innovation and productivity.
Other speakers include Jeremy Aguero, principal analyst at Applied Analysis, who will talk about leveraging the city's assets, and Kristin McMillan, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce, who will call for a change in community thinking to help the valley better compete and succeed in the next economy.
In addition to offering a platform for speakers, Preview is a business networking event and trade show. About 120 exhibitors -- a sell-out for the show -- will set up booths at the Thomas & Mack Center, and a new Resource Row will offer small businesses information about licensing and regulation.
Another highlight of the event is Preview the Taste, which offers food sampling from a collection of local restaurants. Businesses participating this year include Bahama Breeze, Slice of Vegas, Ricardo's, Cafe Rio, Genghis Grille and Tedesco Catering.

Like all things that have changed over the past years, the way we perceive religion and faith has changed too. In today's world, many people use the word "believe" often to talk about their feelings about anything or use it to describe something they are hoping for. In fact, the word faith is closely associated with belief in a biblical sense and we see that this word describes God's graciousness. He is graceful with all he gives and we humbly accept it with our heart and soul, while resting on Christ.
Though many people use the word faith associated with different contexts, it is generally associated with religion. It usually means a religious faith and belief. However, the word "religious" has fallen hard in recent times, mainly because of a few people who are ignorant about religion. They use it inappropriately, as they don't understand the truth about the Christian religion and nor do they understand the actual relationship with Christ by faith, though the Christine doctrine is based on this very fact.
One important fact is that if anyone thinks that he is religious without bridling his tongue but deceives his heart at the same time, his religion is considered worthless. It is very simple to understand this concept as it means that if one doesn't demonstrate the originality of undefiled, and pure religion, he/she is deceiving their hearts and themselves in the process.
It is actually easy to realize why some people describe religion in a pejorative manner, however, one must be careful to use those words in an appropriate way according to the context and historical definitions. Religion is actually used to describe one's faith and it encompasses an individual's aspect of a Christian life that is rooted in. Everything we do is based on what we believe as our belief influences the way we think and the actions we take. It also influences our motives and our reasoning to do something. Anyone who tries to isolate religion in order to prevent it from interfering with their daily lives, are actually trying to do something impossible. While that could be the fact, it also stands to reason that they might not believe in Christ at all. If our belief in religion is true and we have immense faith towards it, then we will start thinking good for others. Religion is not really a direct relationship with God, but it is something that teaches how we should behave with other fellow human beings.
In totality, faith is taught by the Lord himself and it means that a person will not rely on his policies and strength but will commit completely to the guiding force. Though many people perceive faith in different ways and constantly disagree and argue about it, the truth is that God lies at the very core of every religion. Religion and Faith Development is necessary to lead a happy life.

text: The biggest knock thus far on one of Jade Tree's newest bands, Trial By Fire, is that they remind people too much of fellow label mates Strike Anywhere, the much lauded hardcore punk band from Virginia. Sure, both match high energy punk meets hardcore with strong political themes, both hail from the same area of the east coast. Trial By Fire reminds me much more of the late Kid Dynamite than they do Strike Anywhere, with more of a punk feel than the latter has. "Ringing In The Dawn" is a strong 11 song debut, straight forward and to the point that does little to set new ground but blazes an interesting trail nonetheless. Trial also has one of the most unsuitably named front men in punk rock, Jason Yawn, who's lyrics are extremely critical of society and even those who choose to rebel. "Point An Inward Finger" is probably the best track of the album, finishing up with Jason growling that "no one is safe when there's money to be made." These guys are as punk as anyone and without any pretensions. It's music that says something, pure and simple, image be damned. My only real complaint is that there just isn't that much of it, the 11 songs fly by and leave me looking for more. Trial By Fire definitely lives up to the standards of their Jade Tree brothers past and present, and they have more than enough fire power to keep making noise well into the future. Be on the lookout, they'll be touring all year.

I don't think enough attention was given to Betty's desire to speak with a child psychiatrist. I don't know the episode or even the season but Don once said to Betty that she was like a child. I don't know how much to read into this but i think the show could begin to more fully explore the psyche of Betty.
Do you think Robert Morse has really left the agency for good? Not sure what role he was playing anyway other than financial and name equity. Great line for his parting shot ……"Get my shoes!" Take your shoes Coop and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Addictions: Alcoholism Drug Food Addiction Gambling Internet Nicotine Prescription Drugs SexPorn Shopping Work Addiction
Advertising is the enabler; it pays the bills.
Has Robert Morse really left the show? Not sure what role he was playing at the agency other than financial and legacy equity. Great parting line for him……"Get my shoes!" Take your shoes Coop, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Cooper is definitely NOT gone. He'll come back to work at the request of a client. He's too cool and had the best line of the entire series when he commented on the Sec's death, "She was born in a barn in 1898 and died on the 37th floor of a skyscaper. She was an astronaut."
Did you notice the change in lighting at the end of the episode. I think it was symbolic of the new awakening that has happened. all the sex scenes with Don have been in dark rooms the last kiss was in a bright room with windows open.
Here we see Don Draper as the consummate survivor. Midge's boyfriend tells him that Midge's painting is what she sees when she closes her eyes. Don looks at the painting and closes his eyes. What does he see? He sees salvation in casting aside tobacco as a mistress. For a while it did look like the writers were going to case the lifeline to the ad agency by having them ride the next big wave: The feminist movement grows and adopts smoking as a sign of equality. Behold, a new market for industry that is coming under health and political attacks.
Talk about counter culture – looks like the ad agency will lead the charge against the establishment (tobacco) 'cause the American Cancer Society is a calling. Draper and company will show 'em that it is fashionable and pays to do public service ads. I mean don't you love this show as it portrays our societal changes through one of the most interesting characters on TV right now. Time travel does not get any better or entertaining!
This episode is a gem………Invictus, Invictus, Invictus………
Generally I think this was another smart, tight episode. And it did serve the themes of reinvention, of desperation, and also dependence (more than addiction).
I wouldn't say Betty is addicted to therapy (with a child psychiatrist, at that), but she is dependent on it, and more than she's willing to admit.
Clearly Don's move will trigger an influx of clients to keep the agency going (or we wouldn't be able to come back next season). However, the continuing moral ambiguity keeps us hooked. We like seeing some redemption in Don's character, but we always sensed it was there.
I think a few things have been predictable (a disappointment), like Don and Megan last week, and this week, we see clearly that Megan and Faye are in competition for Don's eye, even if Don doesn't see it yet. The foreshadowing for someone departing one way or another has been pretty heavy handed. And each episode is building toward some sort of new crisis, obviously, and inclined I think toward Don's family.
Toril gets the gold oak leaf palm. Time Magazine, 3/10/67: " Almost unnoticed beyond Madison Avenue was the brief announcement last month that the ad agency of Kastor Foote Hilton & Atherton Inc. had changed its name to just plain Emerson Foote, Inc….As a creative man with Albert Lasker's Lord & Thomas agency, Foote handled the American Tobacco Co. account, led the group-think that produced such slogans as 'Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War'."

Okay. From what I am reading, the insertion of Midge into the screenplay is an allegory. Midge Daniels is a parallel and she represents in human form the cost of Sterling Cooper Draper Price's reliance on tobacco. The interatction between Draper and Midge was not that clear and was not that well-acted, but it seems that Midge serves as the muse for Don's sudden revolt against reliance on tobacco for survival and the partners' reaction is like the heroin addict suddenly deprived of its heroin and the body is reacting violently.
A somewhat similar tone is played with Betty, Sally, and the guidance counselor. Betty is depending on her child psychologist to lean on and get her support. Sally, on the other hand, represents youth, its resilience, and its ability to make friends and move on. Betty, on the other hand, has no friends. She is repressed. She relies on any conversation and attention Sally's guidance counelor can give her. So, Betty is crushed when Sally's guidance counselor recommends Betty go elsewhere for treatment.
Re: Betty …Don echoed what Betty's psychiatrist, Dr. Wayne, had told him. Dr Wayne said something to the effect that Betty's obsessions were like those of al ittle girl. Don, soon after said in a similar way that it was like dealing with a child. At the time Betty was also holiding hands with Glen Bishop, drinking cokes on the sofa. The Cokes were echoed in the latest episode when Glen threw down the two he had brought for him and Sally to share. And again in this episode Pete told Don he acted like a child. Many of the characters on Mad Men are immature. If everyone who was immature were labeled a child, there would be few grown ups I tihnk.
Loved the comment about searching Midge's painting for a clue about what happened to her. Instead, he couldn't help seeing something of himself in it. A great blogger writes: "When he got the painting home, however, Don found that he couldn't throw it out. Contemplating it till daybreak, he couldn't help seeing something of himself in it. He's spent nearly this entire season in a state of dissolute passivity, trying to put himself back together after Sterling Cooper and his marriage crumbled around him."
Check this out for some great indepth analysis: http://www.ronreplogle.com/2010/10/mad-men-kicking-habit.html
I like this interpretation–http://www.ronreplogle.com/2010/10/mad-men-kicking-habit.html–Don sees Midge's addication as a metaphor for his own passivity.
The episode for me is about adjustments. Don must adjust to the subtle changes in relationships, i.e. Don and Pete, Faye and Don, Sally and her mother with Dr. Edna; and the large ones: the agency losing clients and respect and how severe setbacks spur true leaders to risk-taking and bursts of creativity.
I didn't feel the acting in this episode was as polished as it has been in others. There was very little subtlety in the deliverance of dialogue other than Peggy's. Though the Midge encounter was a plot device, it came across as a sledge hammer intrusion and seemed forced.
I have been pondering why this show captivates? In no small part is it the lack of violence, mayhem and brutality that passes for the usual garbage offered up as "entertainment" todayor are the characters simply archetypes that we all recognize as the cinematic versions of a friend, a colleague, or ourselves?
I think Evangeline Morphos had the best take on this episode. Don is the perennial outsider, self-reliant, and he won't let people in for obvious reasons related to his past. So, he takes things into his own hands and recovers his sense of self.
The throwing away of his diary notes and taking unilateral action by publishing the ad in NYT is his way of doing something. I think we are seeing the Don, who at the end of last season looked around the hotel room at the players of his new firm and new life and smiling at what he saw in expectation of his rise in his profession. This has been a painful season to watch as characters seem to crumble: Don, Betty, Sally, Roger, Duck. But now the emotional air is clear for Don. He will obviously save his company and that is evident from the American Cancer Society inquiry. This penultimate episode gives us hope. I am sure the last show will leave us with many questions and an eagerness for the next season.
As to the scene with Midge, as we all know, nothing in fiction is gratuitous in serious drama. She was the device to point Don in the right direction. Her admission as a heroin addict ("I can't quit") not only scares Don because of his own addiction to drink which he has acknowledged, but drives him to quit his "touchy-feely" introspection and act to save himself and his firm. The "Stop feeling sorry for yourself, Don," as he rips out his diary and writes the ad was pretty decisive. He trusts his own judgment. This is the more familiar Don. And he feels good about himself again ("slept great for the first time in weeks.") I know the type.
Wonderful show!
If you viewed Mad Men since season One, episode 12 last night was a brilliant use of major and minor characters in the overall narrative. This includes January Jones' Betty by the way, who the camera loves. I disagree Mad Men is lacking in confronting the counter culture of the 1960s, rather that has been shown in hindsight in all its 'if only we had knowns…' Among the worst of these is surely the terrible misuse of drugs, and the brief depiction of the fall of Midge was not merely a plot device, but a dire portrayal of ruin in a short time frame of five years. It was heart breaking to see what 'Midge' had become. What Weiner does so wonderfully is use this tragedy to illustrate the creative genius of Don Draper who integrates every experience in life, including the chaotic destruction of Midge to confront his professional issues and take heed of Peggy's admonition to 'change the conversation'. What followed was the New York Times ad. Weiner's four year narrative is far above the superficial Washington Post analysis that Mad Men is TV's most feminist show, that is so missing the point of his deeper characterizations, both male and female and his narrative. I have no crystal ball for episode 13, but fully expect Mr. Weiner will leave us with a great deal about which to think. I also would add as a footnote we should not ungraciously dismiss the contributions of Robert Morse over four years and 'kick him out of [any] door' with a crude farewell. He deserves so much better.
and, as to what is on the other side of your eye lids as you drift off to sleep, I call, once again, on Regina Spektor:
'Cause when you're lying in your bed
Darkness 'round your head
Your eyes might as well be polka-dotted or plaid
A kaledescopic episode if ever there was. Veering from Midge the faded former lover and heroin prostitute, to Sally with her disturbing best friend, and back the agency circling wagons, and on to Betty (a child herself, seeming to prefer Sally's shrink to an adult-oriented one) and around and around again. Finally the core theme emerges: Don is ascendant – a man floating to the surface, deciding once and for all 'To be That Man.'
Don steps into daylight. Here is a man who is most comfortable behind his own taglines, fearful of discovery, offering himself up – solo – to the New York Times. Long time watchers get major payoffs: There's Don deliberately asking Peggy about her thoughts on his letter to the paper- tacitly admitting his habit lifting of her ideas her 'kernel' (acknowledgement of her accusation from S4 episode 'The Suitcase') There's Peggy right back at him, using the code word 'shinannigans' (from S4 episode 'Public Relations') voicing approval while wryly reminding Don of his disdain for sideshows like Peggy's hiring of two women actor to fight over a ham in reply .
"The Who Sell Out," one of my most favorite albums for almost my whole adolescence (I'm probably a little older than Sally Draper), was released in 1967. The album's theme was a satire on advertising, and it contains a quick fake radio ad, "Heinz Baked Beans). It's what I've always considered the funniest in the lineup. I wonder if the episode's writers had this in mind.
For me, in this episode, what Don did was actually more interesting than why he did it. The ad in the NY Times was brilliant. It was forward thinking, and it really pushed the envelope in terms of what advertising is supposed to do and what it can do. I was surprised that even Peggy didn't seem to really get Don's work. The most interesting thing is that he took a full page ad in the NY Times. During the first episode of the season, Don takes to advertising SCDP via an interview with a small trade magazine. Here, Don takes it mainstream with a full-page editorial-style ad in the NY Times. Using advertising to engage with the public instead of communicating to the public is a big step forward. He uses it to drive public discourse on topics of morality, corporate ethics and public safety. He really pushes the envelope with regards to what the public can expect from advertising. It's a wonderful step forward.
Rachel Vogel at http://thealternativefeminist.com/ does a great analysis of it.
I keep thinking that in thenext episode we will see Peggy and Don leaving SCDP as the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" in the background.
why no mention of sally in her bed? foreshadowing of a very haunting sort.
Notice how Stan greeted Don after the full page ad. He was reading the ad when Don walked in and greeted him differently; seemed to me to be admiration in his voice.
The Time magazine article re Emerson Foote (link in a post above) is very interesting also re Foote walking away from tobacco advertising and also, as Peggy suggested, his agency had "changed its name."
Mindy and her addiction together with Peggy's "change the name" suggestion came together as Don's great idea.
Something you are all forgetting to mention. They laugh ironically at the call that Roger Sterling received about an anti-smoking campaign. As we know now, there are millions of dollars spent in anti-smoking campaigns. The era of tobacco has ended and Don had, at one time, spent all of his time making excuses for the companies. Now that he is in recovery on his own, he can see that to escape and change he must sell a product that is intrinsically good. He no longer will sell something that dares his intellect to trickery. His cunning will now arise from honesty in this new Don Draper. The tables have turned on smoking and he will be the first to cash-in on the anti-smoking era that is coming.
Once again the brilliant Don Draper pulls away from the pact with a full page letter hitting all the right notes of 1965 politically correct culture. He is really a scrapper who knows that it will take something highly radical (like 1960′s counterculture) to reinvent SCDP; even if it means alienating and even shedding Cooper or others of his generation. The reoccurrance of Midge was instrumental in reminding Don how far he has come from proverty and depravity and he is not about to let that happen. Great episode.
Recall Season 1: Don fended off Pete's revelation in Episode 12 and then scored big in 13 with the Kodak presentation.
Then in Season 2: Don made amends with Betty and artfully blocked Duck's takeover of the merged firm.
Season 3: Don lets Betty go and then engineers the creation of a new firm complete with several key accounts from the old Sterling Cooper.
Will next week's episode follow this same pattern? It seems to be setting up this way. Don seems to be cat-like, defying the fates that seem destined to doom him. It ought to be interesting.
1. Her addiction hit Don on an intellectual level, but her prostitution hit him on an emotional level. That's a bit of an oversimplification, because the two are linked. But still. This was a woman whom he'd respected. Surely one thing on his mind as he drafted that letter for the Times was his own prostitution as an ad man, giving his clients what they wanted, setting aside all moral considerations.
2. Does anyone doubt that she was genuinely glad to see Don? Surprised that he lived in the Village, and intrigued? Her own mixed motives and emotions have a parallel in Don's letter to the Times, which was obviously self-serving and strategic, but also had some genuine passion. We shouldn't fall into the trap of saying; it was just a ruse, just blowing smoke.
I agree with Walter that the depiction of the counter culture has been weak, and has gotten weaker as the seasons pass.
I also loved the conversation between Don and Peggy; equals. Two conversations between them, this one and drunk in his office when Anna died in "The Suitcase", were highlights of the season so far.
I find it interesting that when Peggy suggested SDCP shouldn't do business with companies that will not hire black people, Don dismissed the conversation by saying they're not there to judge the morality of their clients (or something of that sort), yet he now writes a full page letter about anti smoking and refuses to represent a client that goes against his morals.
maybe betty needs a mother and thus needs dr. edna…..she clearly lacks mothering skills.
While they discuss the ad in the Times and the call from the American Cancer Society, they all keep lighting up and puffing away. If there is a meeting with the ACS, how will any of them make it through without a smoke.
The bogus call from Bobby Kennedy was hilarious – was that (Simpson's) Springfield Mayor Joe Quimby on the phone – vigah!
Interesting that this show is about ads and I rarely see anybody discussing the ads (except perhaps the Mad Men wannabe ads).
Will somebody pleasepleaseplease tell Hotels.com to retire the claymation ad that has run all season? Is that company in such sad shape that it can't fund another ad?
Back to the program itself: Isn't this most recent episode the first time that Midge has been named in dialogue? Before she was free and had no name; now she is hooked on heroin and her name is Midge (great choice of name!).
I'm already wanting to buy the DVDs of Season 4. Reviewing this show on DVD increases my admiration as well as reminds me how much I miss as it flies by in initial broadcast.
Wow, what a show.
Wonderful post Walter Dillinger. I never really liked the Midge character in Season 1. I completely agree with your assessment that she is there as a catalyst for Don. I am not entirely convinced that Don has had a "revelation" about the health dangers of smoking, but I do think there is good in him, and he does recognize the addiction. Well said. I also read the Washington Post article by Stephanie Coontz. I liked it also.
Love the contrast between Don and Roger re: employees they are firing….. Don looking at them sadly at the end, vs. Roger's usual wisecracking style: "I gotta go learn the names of some people before I fire them"
Love it love it love it!!!!!!! MIdge finding Don, her husband pimping her out. He has no money for groceries, she *lost* her purse. Don finding this heroin thing too grisly and seeing himself maybe additcted to *pursutis* (women, clients, money, position, stealing a man's identity) at what ever costs? . Ballsy move taking out the anti smoking ad and seeing next shot of Henry reading it. Woman child Betty wanting counseling of child therapist, past scenes of her staring at doll house in therapist's office…something creepy there…One more episode to go…who is the figure falling from the window??????
I think Weiner has set up another crucial final episode that will involve great professional opportunity and greater personal peril than we've yet seen.
@Edward PS – to pick up on your trend analysis of how each season "resolves", Don's flashes of brilliance remind me of some sage advice I once received from an old airplane pilot: "Whenever you're flying by the seat of your pants, remember that you have to land on your azz." Don is luckier than he is smart, and much of his self-made luck is a product of being cornered in some form or another (Kodak deadline, Duck's power play, avoiding the crippling non-compete clause and now corporate financial ruin).
I think the false identity element is now as big a risk for Don than ever. He's still a possible target for J. Edgar & The G-Men and now has the Tobacco Industry a bit miffed (and imagine those two acting in concert in 1965). He may find out soon enough how much fury hath a woman scorned. In his desperation, he may find a way to get Faye to conceal him, thus blunting her blackmail card with potential aiding-and-abetting charges.
On the portrayal of the counter-culture – I disagree with those who believe it's being underplayed. This subculture sort of popped up like mushrooms, but later in the '60s. It had been growing along for some time, visible only to, and largely ignored by, folks in the highly urban areas in which it thrives. It is appropriate to have it available as a tool for exposition and plot devices, and I think it's being used very effectively. The subculture is destined to blossom with the escalation of the Viet Nam war. We've seen this grow from grass & poetry and now smack & reality – you know the next phase is acid & expansion.
In any event, Don is positioned for another brush with it a future season.One of Vick's competitors is Luden's who, in 1967, Luden's made an animated TV commercial featuring a little "cough" character being chased down by a Luden's cough drop. The soundtrack and score ("The Big Squeeze") won a Clio in 1968. The composer? One Francis Vincent Zappa. It don't get much more counter-culture than that.
And speaking of commercials, @Not a Real Name's rant on the incessantly run claymation commercial reminds me that its only redeeming value (to the extent cheap humor permits redemption) is the line where the guy says "…we go to this Dude Ranch and pick up a couple of whores…".
How long can Weiner take the show in two different directions before it begins to rip from the strain. It's almost an annoyance with Betty and her life as a separate part from the real theme of the program. Either bring her back closer to the focus or send her and her father figure off to Albany.
Time for a generation shift in SCDP. My prediction; we'll start Season 5 with an agency sans Cooper, retired, and Sterling, dead, probably by suicide. Price may stick around, although he has to deal with his Daddy's orders to choose once and for all between the US and the UK. But the core of the agency will be Don, Pete and Peggy, all of them with interesting story lines in their lives to be further developed.
Someone posting here recently said the show is turning into 'Dallas'. There is that danger, if the final episode revolves too much around personal suspense and leaves us hanging; an unresolved crisis re Don's identity, e.g.. But that's not what I'm predicting.
Schmed, you're missing the point about the counterculture criticisms here, which I share. Not that it's under-represented. It's misrepresented, by stereotyped characters mouthing what were already clichees then. Don's living on Waverly Place. There were huge creative things happening there then.
Mad Men is a psychological
and social statement par excellence!
I agree CAtransplant.
On a different note, I absolutely love how this episode "Blowing Smoke" literally references Peggy's PR "shenanigans" in "Public Relations." Validation for Peggy. She is the future of advertising. I love the references to the role of PR in the future of advertising. Don is also literally involved with a psychologist, a researcher, while the artist is nothing but an addict now. Sure, she provides inspiration, but it's Peggy modern methodology that gets the message read. Can't wait for Tomorrowland! Bring on the Mouse!
@BB – The timeline for WDW development *could* be in play. Wiki indicates a press leak in Orlando on October 20 of '65 forced Walt to acknowledge, in a press conference on Nov 15, that his plans the project was for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" (EPCOT). This could be the Deus ex machina SCDP needs, though a bit of a stretch, methinks.
Then again, Weiner has misdirected with the obvious more than once before – maybe they land Tang, or "Space Food Sticks" and Don/Peggy develops the "Get on the Stick" slogan/jingle.
See Ben Cohen's post on Speakeasy re Conrad Hilton, the American Cancer Society, and possibly Disney links.
A small point, but I think a crucial one. Don doesn't say that creative are "the least important and most important thing" but "the least important, most important thing there is". I think the comma makes a difference. It says that of all the most important things creative is regarded as the least important, that the accounts men pay lip service to the value of the skills that clients actually pay for. That meaning is not quite as strong if the comma is replaced by "and".
@AU – you really missed the point
…interesting to note the change in Psychiatry from 1965 to now. Nowadays psychiatrists, as MDs, mostly see patients to diagnose mental illness and to prescribe medication. Follow-up vists called "med check"s" are very brief. As one psychiatrist told me they generally "leave therapy to folks with other training".
As I see it, for a couple of reasons, Betty balks at seeing her own psychiatrist in 1965. She has said a couple of times this season "I don't *need* to see a psychiatrist," yet she talks about her problems incessantly to Dr. Edna, Sally's shrink. Betty told Henry she had seen a psychiatrist, but why she did
In season one, Betty seemed to get better after talking on the couch to (not so much witih) her psychiatrist who was called Dr. Wayne. He showed little insight or ability to be helpful in the few comments he made to her. He told her once, with some flair: "you're angry with your Mother."
Her reluctance to go down that path again, most strongly, likely stems from her discovery that the shrink regularly took Don's calls to give him updates about her progress, without her knowledge. Betty was treated the same as a child by both her shrink and her husband. As far as rights to privacy of her medical information, she had none. No wonder she doesn't wish to be a psychiatrist's patient again!
She's getting what she needs by talking to Dr. Edna about herself. Dr. Edna will cut her off when she's had enough, you can take that to the bank. Nowadays Betty and Sally or perhaps the whole family would see a licensed practitioner (LCSW, LPC or Licensed Clinical Psychologist) for therapy.
@Schmed's Comments:
I agree with Schmed and his commentary that Don is more lucky than smart but seems to thrive on near-death career experiences and rallies.
I agree with him also (which means I disagree with Walt Dellinger) that the counter-culture movement is adequately portrayed in this series. In viewing this series with full historical knowledge of events and cultural trends, we run the danger of overemphasizing trends that perhaps have been over-magnified by those in the advocacy business. I would even go so far as to say that Mad Men, unlike most drama pieces, properly portrays this cultural movement.
I love how in SEason 1, Don dismisses Midge's hipster friends, correctly labeling them as frauds, posers, phonies and spoiled kids of the upper middle classes. Season 1 was brilliant in showcasing what most Americans thought of what was then a nascent movement in society. Now, we see this movement in a more pronounced way. Mad Men never overplays its hand in portraying the era in which it is set.
I think some might be surprised to know that the hippies, counter-culture types were not the dominant forces in 60s society. Most Americans went through the decade without having to deal with the foolish antics of a spoiled minority of kids bent on throwing an eternal temper tantrum. In spite of the immaturity of these few, most Americans went about their lives, working, raising kids, voting and trying to make something of their lives.
The problem with Dellinger perhaps (maybe, I am not certain) is that he thinks the counter-culture had some sort of redeeming quality. Or that it was some sort of noble cause. I would say that any movement that culminated in a band of unkempt, unwashed, smelly, misbehaved, ill-mannered people bent on eternal immaturity and rolling around in the mud unclothed at a place called Woodstock can hardly be thought of as noble. The counter-culture types were as Don pegged them in Season 1: a bunch of spoiled kids wtihout any purpose. They ruined culture, manners, good taste and good style. But …. having said that, Madison Avenue still managed to co-opt the movement. Remember the 7-Up ad of the early '70. 7-Up was the UNCOLA. Great work Don et al. You used the ethos of a stupid bunch of spoiled rich kids and sold more products as a result. Bullly for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@Edward P.S. – I have a feeling you are projecting your negative view of the "counter-culture type" when you generalize like that. From watching Mad Men, I get absolutely no indication that they are making any broad statement one way or the other about the "counter-culture type." We have seen this season that Anna's niece was also a member of the "counter-culture" yet she was portrayed as smart and attractive and idealistic in a purely positive way. This show presents individuals (some good, some bad, some both good and bad) from all parts of society, and how the viewer reacts to it is often more about the preconceptions of the viewer.
Your statement is the equivalent is saying that corporate America is a bunch of greedy, immoral, vultures who have no regard for the welfare of society and only care about putting money in their wallets. There is some evidence for that based on what we see on Mad Men, but that type of generalization should be rejected.
You are correct in identifying my negative view of the counterculture. That is not to say that individuals involved therein were not well meaning, and perhaps just following a societal trend anyway.
While my response is definitely unbalanced, I believe I am correct in suggesting that Mad Men has adequately portrayed the counterculture movement. What we miss when we see old newsreels is that not everyone was involved in the counterculture, and most people maintained middle class/upper middle class and working class ways and mores in spite of the youth movement and counter culture displays. Mad Men does not over magnify the movement and doesn't exaggerate its importance. Nor does it create characters who are mere caricatures. Mr. Dellinger seems to be complaining that the show misses the mark in its portrayal of the counterculture. I simply reject that assertion, and I can only speculate it is because he has a misplaced view of its importance in that era.
However, I believe if you recall Season 1, when Don mixed with Midge's friends, that there was certainly a critical tone about these hipsters. Don was unflinching in his defense of what he did and what he stood for. That is a much different portrayal than we usually get from film and TV drama. Recall Oliver Stone's pathetic attempt to portray the Doors, and the marginally talented Jim Morrison, as the soul of the '60s. Usually, film and TV drama has tried to portray the counter culture as heroic. Mad Men has NOT done that.
Actually, the counter culture's corrosive effects were not truly felt until the early '70s, as decorum, style and all sense of good manners were obliterated.
@Edward P.S
I agree with your point that Mad Men is focusing on the lives of the main characters and is only interested in the broader society to the extent that our main characters are affected by it. This is the same reason why the historic Civil Rights Movement has not been the focus of this show (remember how the "I have a Dream" speech essentially passed by with just a glancing reference by Suzanne Farrell….Don was oblivious to it)
I don't agree that there is any attempt to make any larger statement about the counterculture movement. We have seen positive and negative portrayals of the counterculture on this show, just as we have seen positive and negative portrayals of Madison Avenue culture. Certainly Midge's friends were portayed negatively for the most part (contrast that to Midge herself, who was portrayed mostly positively in season 1), but there have been other positive portayals of the counterculture on Mad Men. I think we largely agree that the show does a great job of avoiding the purely heroic or evil portayals of characters that is so common on television and at the movies.
It is interesting that you mention Don's "unflinching defense of what he did and what he stood for" to the hipsters in season 1. What is it that Don actually stands for? One of the primary themes of Mad Men is that someone like Don Draper stands for nothing except trying to advance his own career (his cynical anti-tobacco letter this week was a perfect example of this) and is every bit as much of a "fraud and phony" as the hipsters that he criticizes.
Don, flaws and all, stands for the American Dream, however flawed that may be. Don is a striver, a person wanting to be somebody. The fact that he has done it in a dishonest way does not negate the accomplishment.
American History is replete with examples of people getting somewhere with less than reputable purposes. Hell, the Kennedys paid for an election, not just in the general election, but in key primaries in 1960.
Don's striving is authentic. It may not be altogether wholesome, but his striving supports society or at least shows his desire to participate. The counterculture, on the contrary, was nothing but destructive to the advance of civilization.
What makes Don and the other characters so compelling its that they are trying to get somewhere though they display some unsavory characteristics along the way. But, at least they get up each day and make a go of it. The countercultural types did not add to America's capital stock.
Some say your toes, others say your nose. I think it's your mind.

POTSDAM, N.Y. -- A St. Lawrence County man has died after a crash in Potsdam. The Sheriff's office believes it happened around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, but no one found the victim until Friday morning.
The Sheriff's office says Jonathan Burkett, 21, of Norwood, flipped his pickup truck on Needham Street, hitting trees and rocks. Burkett's family hadn't heard from him and had started searching. The truck wasn't located until after 9 a.m. Friday.
Burkett was pronounced dead at the scene.
