"If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend," E.M. Forster once wrote, "I hope I should have the guts to betray my country." This quote teaches us a lot, particularly that dead British novelists made for good drinking buddies and horrible spies. But Forster's sentiment is worth considering. There is no feeling worse than the feeling of betrayal; it is the most soul-pulverizing of human emotions. However, what's been on my mind as of late is kind of the inverse of Forster's quote, which is actually more of a question: What depresses you more--being betrayed by an individual, or being "betrayed" by your own culture? Because I hear people complaining about the latter situation constantly, and I can't understand why.
I recently had a conversation with someone about Sex and the City, a program I never actually watched. (Every time I tried, all I saw were four peculiar-looking women pretending to talk like gay guys.) But Sex and the City was one of those shows you didn't need to watch in order to follow. I had a general idea of what it was supposed to be about (sex, cities, whatnot), so I felt like I could have a reasonable dialogue about what it represented. My associate, however, loved this show; she was deconstructing the final episode of the series, in which Carrie Bradshaw ended up with longtime love interest Mr. Big. The reason the show ended this way, I suspect, is so sentimental people would get a happy ending. But to my associate, this conclusion was an atrocity; she literally used the word betrayed while discussing this plot twist. (She felt Bradshaw should have remained independent, which would have matched her vision of what Sex and the City was supposed to represent.)
Even though I had no real context for why she felt this way, I found her reaction fascinating. Why, I wondered, do people so often feel let down by popular culture? Why do serious film fans feel disgusted when another Tom Hanks movie earns $200 million? Why do record-store employees get angry when a band like Comets on Fire comes to town and only twenty-two people pay to see them? Why do highly literate people become depressed when they look at the New York Times best-seller list, and why do anti-intellectuals feel contempt for critics who suggest that The Da Vinci Code is consciously targeted at dumb people? There's a peculiar disconnect between how people exist in the world and how they think the world is supposed to exist; it's almost as if most Americans can't accept an important truth about being alive. And this is the truth to which I refer: Culture can't be wrong. That doesn't mean it's always "right," nor does it mean you always have to agree with it. But culture is never wrong. People can be wrong. Movements can be wrong. But culture--as a whole--cannot be wrong. Culture is just there.
Almost a decade ago, I was browsing in a Barnes & Noble when I came across a book called Route 666: On the Road to Nirvana. It was a music book about a band I liked, so I started paging through it immediately. And what I remember are three sentences on the fourth page that discussed how allegedly awesome it was that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was on the radio, and how this was almost akin to America electing a new president. "It's not that everything will change at once," author Gina Arnold wrote. "It's that at least the people have voted for better principles. Nirvana's being on the radio means my own values are winning: I'm no longer in the opposition." I have never forgotten those three sentences, and there are two reasons why. The first is that this was just about the craziest, scariest idea I'd ever stumbled across. The second reason, however, is way worse. What I have slowly come to realize is that most people think this way all the time. They don't merely want to hold their values; they want their values to win. And I suspect this is why people so often feel "betrayed" by art and consumerism, and by the way the world works. I'm sure Gina Arnold felt completely betrayed when Limp Bizkit and Matchbox Twenty became superfamous five years after Kurt Cobain's death and she was forced to return to "the opposition" (whatever that entails--complaining about Clear Channel, I suppose). If you feel betrayed by culture, it's not because you're right and the universe is wrong; it's only because you're not like most other people. But this should make you happy, because--in all likelihood--you hate those other people anyway. You are being betrayed by a culture that has no relationship to who you are or how you live.
Do you want to be happy? I suspect that you do. Well, here's the first step to happiness: Don't get pissed off that people who aren't you happen to think Paris Hilton is interesting and deserves to be on TV every other day; the fame surrounding Paris Hilton is not a reflection on your life (unless you want it to be). Don't get pissed off because the Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren't on the radio enough; you can buy the goddamn record and play "Maps" all goddamn day (if that's what you want). Don't get pissed off because people didn't vote the way you voted. You knew that the country was polarized, and you knew that half of America is more upset by gay people getting married than it is about starting a war under false pretenses. You always knew that many Americans worry more about God than they worry about the economy, and you always knew those same Americans assume you're insane for feeling otherwise (just as you find them insane for supporting a theocracy). You knew this was a democracy when you agreed to participate, so you knew this was how things might work out. So don't get pissed off over the fact that the way you feel about culture isn't some kind of universal consensus. Because if you do, you will end up feeling betrayed. And it will be your own fault. You will feel bad, and you will deserve it.
Now, it's quite possible you disagree with me on this issue. And if you do, I know what your argument is: You're thinking, But I'm idealistic. This is what people who want to inflict their values on other people always think; they think that there is some kind of romantic, respectable aura that insulates the inflexible, and that their disappointment with culture proves that they're trapped by their own intellect and good taste. Somehow they think their sense of betrayal gives them integrity. It does not. If you really have integrity--if you truly live by your ideals, and those ideals dictate how you engage with the world at large--you will never feel betrayed by culture. You will simply enjoy culture more. You won't necessarily start watching syndicated episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, but you will find it interesting that certain people do. You won't suddenly agree that Amelie was a more emotive movie than Friday Night Lights, but you won't feel alienated and offended if every film critic you read tells you that it is. You will care, but you won't care.
You're not wrong, but neither is the rest of the world. And you need to accept that those two things aren't really connected.

For Immediate Release
Date: 03/26/12
To the Kennebec Journal
By Rep. Mel Newendyke
Imagine coming home after a weekend away to find water pouring out of your front door. Exploring inside, you discover that all the copper piping in your house has been ripped out. Water flows freely, filling your basement and reaching the ground floor. Even the copper pipes in your baseboard heating registers have been torn out. Your house is a wreck, your furniture is ruined and repairs will be costly.
You have been victimized by copper thieves, a fast-growing class of criminals who steal copper wherever they can find it. In a typical scenario, they sell it to scrap metal dealers and use the "proceeds" to buy drugs, most often prescription painkillers.
Countless Maine homeowners have suffered at the hands of copper thieves, who leave a trail of wanton destruction in their quest for money and drugs. But it is not only homeowners who have fallen victim. Copper thieves have also hit electric utilities, communications companies, construction sites and even schools - nothing is sacred.
In January, the Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development Committee held a public hearing on LD 1708, "An Act To Prevent the Theft and Illegal Sale of Copper and Other Metals." A steady stream of people testifying in favor of the legislation described a hideous situation that has gripped Maine ever since scrap metal prices soared and the prescription drug abuse epidemic took hold.
Colonel Robert Williams, Chief of the Maine State Police, told the Committee that metal theft has become one of the largest and most time-consuming problems facing law enforcement. "The impacts are devastating to both the private citizen who is victimized, as well as to private businesses," he said.
Col. Williams spoke about a camp that had been left vacant over the winter. When the owners returned in the spring, they found that all of the metal siding had been stripped off and stolen, along with the entire metal roof. "Or imagine being a business owner with a fleet of trucks," he added. "On Monday morning your drivers show up for work to find that catalytic converters and other metal parts have been stolen off the trucks, rendering the entire fleet useless. It takes days and thousands of dollars to repair the damage."
Daniel Tourtelotte, a Maine Licensed Professional Investigator, was called in by Bangor Hydro Electric in 2011 after thieves had stolen copper ground wire from 13 active substations. He followed the trail logically to scrap metal dealers to get their side of the story.
"It became apparent," he told the Committee, "that at the very least, most of the scrap metal dealers felt no responsibility in reporting the purchase of material that was questionable. In some cases, they actually aided the criminals in the sale of stolen copper by not reporting purchases, hiding the stolen copper, shipping stolen copper soon after the purchase, paying cash instead of by check and doctoring the purchase documents to indicate that the copper was some other type of metal. One scrap metal dealer made this comment, and I quote, 'If it wasn't for these people stealing this stuff, I would be out of business.' "
The Committee also heard from Charles Rumsey, Deputy Chief of Police in Waterville. In recent years, he said, Waterville "has experienced a dramatic increase in burglaries and thefts of scrap metal."
He noted that unoccupied houses - those for sale or in foreclosure - are often prime targets for thieves. "Copper piping and other forms of scrap metal are easily transportable, are difficult to identify with certainty and can rapidly be transported to a scrap dealer and sold for sizeable sums of money," he said. "Current laws offer little or no sanctions against processors who purchase stolen material or fail to keep accurate records."
LD 1708, if approved by the full Legislature, will attack the problem on several fronts.
For example, it broadens the definition for "scrap metal processor" to include any processor who purchases scrap metal, whether from a fixed location or not. This will remove the middleman "buffer." It adds the requirement that the signed statement made by the seller be on a form provided by the buyer, which bears the warning that giving a false statement is a Class D crime, making the fines more punitive.
Moreover, law enforcement officers may impose a seven-day hold on a processor if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the dealer has stolen metal. That will give police more time to investigate a crime. A second seven-day hold can be imposed if needed.
Also, the Department of Public Safety will review the proposed development of an integrated criminal alert network to track scrap metal thefts across the state.
The Committee tried to strike a balance between cracking down on scrap metal processors without being so stringent that legitimate metal recyclers would be harmed. This was no easy task. ###

They'll stick by a show that allows you to abandon a child, but a kid dies by accident doing what he does for a living [mudding] and they cancel the show? There's something that smells of sh-- here on every level."

You will find numerous resources from Barnabas Fund on how you can join with us in prayer for the persecuted church. Use the links below to navigate to them or contact your nearest office for more information.
How to Pray for Persecuted Christians
When we read of the suffering which our brothers and sisters in Christ endure for the sake of His Name, our hearts are moved and we long to bring them before the throne of grace. But sometimes it is difficult to know exactly how to pray, especially if we have never experienced such injustice or persecution ourselves.
The Bible tells us that the Church will be persecuted. So if the Lord will continue to allow persecution, what exactly should we ask Him for when we pray about these situations? We hope that the ten points below will be helpful suggestions, under the guidance and prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Daily Prayer
The Lord has promised, "I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." (Jeremiah 31:25)

CP zoning board rejects reader boards at Speedway station
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent April 22, 2013 9:30PM
Updated: May 29, 2013 6:07AM
Crown Point — The Speedway at 109th Avenue and Broadway will not be getting the reader board that representatives from the company call crucial to the convenience store's marketing plan.
Monday, the Crown Point Board of Zoning Appeals moved to allow the new gas station to add two logo signs, one on the canopy and one above the door on the building, but denied allowing the company to put up the changeable reader board on the exterior wall facing Broadway in action taken on a variance request by Speedway to exceed the town's sign limits.
Member John Marshall said reader boards at other Speedway locations are not maintained properly and in some cases appear to be falling apart. In this case the reader board also would be partially obscured by the ice machine.
"It goes back to my question do we really need it at all," Marshall said.
Speedway officials maintain the reader board is essential to marketing the sales inside the convenience store, which is where gas stations make most of their profit. Donny Wirt, a zoning specialist with Site Enhancement Services, which is working with Speedway to place the signs, said Speedway was led to believe by its consultants all of the signage had approval only to learn these last three signs were omitted.
BZA officials have indicated they feel the move to get the signs in after they approved the signage plan for the new development was an attempt by Speedway officials to circumvent the city's ordinances. The signage issue is one of several that have arisen with the development.
Shortly after construction at the site began last year it was halted because contractors were using concrete masonry units instead of the traditional brick approved.
BZA members also discussed bringing the canopy into compliance with the design originally approved. The canopy, which has a solid white trim at this time, was supposed to have the grey striping common at Speedway locations.
Christopher Meyers, planning director, said the company will have the canopy painted as soon as the weather permits.

RoSPA's mission is to save lives and reduce injuries
31 January 2013
Greater compliance with seatbelt legislation
could help save lives in road crashes says RoSPA, as it marks the 30th
anniversary of the law coming into force.
It is thought that many thousands of lives have been saved by
seatbelts since January 31, 1983, when the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Accidents'
then-President, Lord Nugent of Guildford, won the day for compulsory wearing in
the front seat of cars by introducing an amendment to the Transport Bill in the
House of Lords. A law making it compulsory to wear seatbelts in the back of
cars was introduced in 1991.
There is evidence to show that seatbelt use
in Great Britain remains high, with 95 per cent of car drivers and front seat
passengers complying with the law. But RoSPA is concerned that seatbelt use is
lower in the rear of cars (89 per cent) and in the front seat of other vehicles
(69 per cent).
Kevin Clinton, RoSPA's head of road safety, said: "Despite the fact
that thousands of lives have been saved by seatbelts thanks to RoSPA's and Lord
Nugent's efforts, latest figures still show that a minority of people are not
belting up.
"We must not become complacent over seatbelt wearing; seatbelts are
highly effective in protecting vehicle occupants and significantly reduce the
risk of being fatally or seriously injured in a crash.
"As television advertisements have shown, an
unbelted rear seat passenger can be thrown forward and kill someone in the
front of a car. In a crash at 30mph, if unrestrained you will be thrown forward
with a force of between 30 and 60 times your own bodyweight.
"Ultimately, the benefits of seatbelts need
to be promoted, and the perceived reasons for not wearing seatbelts reduced,
particularly when it comes to educating children. Adults can set an example by
wearing their own seatbelts so that children understand the necessity for them
as they grow older."

text: Abstract:- "As part of a study investigating the adequacy of the Australian Standard for latex condoms, we arranged for self-measurement of the erect penis by a volunteer sample of 156 men, predominantly Caucasian. The kits contained illustrated instructions and paper tapes which the respondents mailed back to us marked with creases to indicate their dimensions. Mean penile length was 16.0 cm (95% confidence interval (CI) 12.2-19.8 cm) and circumferences were: base 13.5 cm (95%CI 0.7-16.2); shaft just below coronal ridge 12.4 cm (95%CI=10.0-14.8); glans 11.9 cm (95%CI 9.6-14.2). Repeat measurements of 15 men showed intraclass correlations (r) of 0.90 for length, 0.68 for base circumference, 0.87 behind ridge and 0.87 glans. Non-users of condoms were more likely to have narrower penises. In a subsample of 66 men who reported on perceived condom comfort, men with wider penises (base circumference) were more likely to find condoms too tight. Men with longer penises were more likely to complain that condoms were too short. Circumcised men had shorter erect penises than (p<0.05). The paper recommends that the measurement technique described in this study should be applied to other populations, and that condoms should be manufactured and marketed in a wider range of lengths and widths."

I'll come clean: I've never really gotten into St. Patty's Day. In college, I was always working or in the studio while the better part of the student body was standing in line for wristbands and day-drinking on the strip. I grew a real hatred for that pinching thing, on one hand because I think pinching is tacky and annoying (you don't touch someone uninvited), but also because I often forgot to wear green on the 17th. Needless to say, I haven't grown into an adult who really gets down with old Saint Pat, but I do believe in avoiding pinching at all costs. So here are some ways to celebrate and rock your green without a nasty, nasty hangover the next day.
Limes are green. So is mint. And by that I mean, why not have a cocktail party at home with your friends instead of tossing back warm green-beer all day and then trying to find a ride home? My cocktail choices would be anything that puts some (natural) green front and center, and has some warm-weather appeal. Think: Mojitos, Moscow Mules, and mint juleps. And if you are obligated to be on the bar scene with your pals that day, reach for Perrier. Served in green bottles, a little bit of refreshing carbonation — you'll feel like you're keeping up, but you'll be able to drive legally at the end of the night.
Traditional Moscow Mule:
1 half lime
2 ounces vodka
4 to 6 ounces ginger beer
Squeeze lime into Collins glass (or copper mug) and drop in half lime. Add 2 or 3 large ice cubes, then pour in the vodka and fill with cold ginger beer. Serve with a stirring rod [more recipes at Epicurious].
Green can be fabulous. Some folks just can't resist — they have to wear the St. Patrick's Day themed apparel head-to-toe or else they feel like they missed an opportunity. But I've always liked wearing green anyway, and I'd much rather hang with friends feeling like myself and let someone else be the ambassador of shamrocks or whatever. And that doesn't mean you shouldn't have fun with it! Take this opportunity to wear bright shoes or loud accessories. But try to keep the holiday spirit out of your makeup palette. Green eyeshadow is a cute idea in concept, but practically speaking, it's not a good look. Girls with darker skin tones, celebrate: Greens are so gorgeous on you. I'll probably stick to the mint varieties.
Let your nails do the talking. The easiest and prettiest way to rock some green is to give yourself a sweet St. Patty's Day manicure. Pinterest is full of ideas, from polite to outrageous, and you can do green on your terms. If you're not handy, speckles and more random designs might be more up your alley. If you're feeling ambitious, water marbling and colorblocking designs can look fantastic in shades of green. I love mixing mint green with white and a hunter green, staying away from that stock shade of Kelly, for something a little bit unexpected.
St. Patrick's Day doesn't have to be a day to abandon style for glittery top hats and smartly-quipped one-off tee shirts. It just means wear green to prevent the dreaded pinch, and the rest is up to you. Take a look at the gallery for some more greenspiration. I might've just made up that word.

Beautiful rooms and great location. I had a great stay and would recommend it.
5 on January 26, 2011
We were in this hotel one time before and decided to come back for celebration of our 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend! We couldn't find a more romantic place for the same affordable price! For 150$ per nite (this is taxes included, and they give discount for regular customers) we had a cozy spacious clean romantic room with a lot of light and a nice garden and pool view right from our private balcony. Turned out, in Key West hotel rooms with a private balcony are way too expensive and besides, the quality and size of such rooms usually suffers. But in Casablanca it was not like this, the balcony was a nice romantic addition to the great room and price was not so high! The room had a big bed, a nice love sofa, a TV and 2 bed tables, all very attractive looking, The place itself is quite, regardless of the bar/restaurant next door, where by the way we had a delicious lunch for a good price too. The pool is surrounded by tropic garden and nothing is better than just to linger there for a while! The staff was super friendly. Ivy was great and sooo helpful, she readily assisted us in booking of para sailing and jet ski. Indeed, it's a very very nice place and a great value for money too, it's a hidden gem in Duval street!! It's a pity not a lot of people know about this place! We actually were in Casablanca recently - in June 2010 (!!!) and saw how everything has been renovated and now it's just amazing! May it not have some amenities that the super luxury hotels have (like spa or gym), but for relaxed and down to earth people without "star disease" and an attitude, for people who just want to spend great time in outside activities in Key West, live on Duval street for such a low price and come back home to a nice romantic quiet room this place would be a real catch! And the slogan in the small but cozy lobby turned out to be the real thing: "May all people who come here as guests, leave this place as friends".
4.8 on January 26, 2011
My husband and I decided to spend a few days in Key West. We had not made any reservations but were very lucky when we decided to stay at the Casablanca Hotel. The room was bright and airy and very clean. The front desk staff were excellent hosts from serving our complimentary breakfast on the front patio overlooking Duval Street to making reservations on the Fury All Day Adverture. We truly had a wonderful experience and will definetly return in the near future.

Byon September 26, 2012
Over at Lawyers, Guns, and Money, Scott has a neat little evisceration of Eric Posner's transparent longing for the days of a circumscribed First Amendment, particularly that part of Posner's argument that seems to wax nostalgic for the days when "Congress shall make no law..." translated into "Congress shall make no law, except as dealing with, among other issues, the Negroes..." Scratch an American constitutional contrarian hard enough and, eventually, you'll find Alexander Hamilton Stephens lurking down there.
(Speaking of whom, the trailer for Spielberg's Lincoln is out there and, while Spielberg's historical dramas generally have given me the feeling that someone is force-feeding me my green veggies, the cast is the bomb, including Jackie Earle Haley as a properly cock-eyed AHS, one of the truly slimiest weasels in American political history.)
As Scott says...
I can understand why Posner would prefer not to bring this up, but if we're going to use civil rights as a rhetorical cudgel here, it seems relevant to note that the systematic repression of freedom of speech and freedom of association were crucial to the maintenance of both the slave power and the apartheid police states that emerged after Reconstruction. Odd how this doesn't make it into Posner's narrative about the good old days when we weren't bound by the "symbolism" of providing robust protection for free speech rights.
As it happens, the destructive effects of the slave power on free speech reached even into the Congress, where a gag rule was put in place in the House Of Representatives that prevented the reading of "petitions" from citizens around the country requesting that slavery be abolished in the District Of Columbia. Eventually, any mention of the word "slavery" was banned. (People now arguing for the importance of "civility" in our political discourse will be happy to know that the slaveholding congresscritters who passed the ban would have agreed wholeheartedly with them.) It was on the First Amendment that an aging John Quincy Adams made his final stand.
He was one of the coldest fish ever elected president. He got his one term through a deal with Henry Clay that so outraged the partisans of Andrew Jackson The Corrupt Bargain! that Adams faced general congressional obstructionism of a kind that would be unseen again until January of 2009. In the next election, Jackson buried him. Adams came home to the Commonwealth (God save it!), thinking he'd retired, but he got talked into running for the House and, there, found himself a home. He served in the House for 17 years, eventually dying in the House chambers. In his old age, he went to war with the slave power.
He fought the gag rule for over a decade. For a long time, he fought it alone. His life was threatened at least twice. He fought off an attempt to censure and to expel him. He was undaunted, and he simply never shut up, inveighing against the threat to every American's freedom that slavery had become and, undoubtedly, accelerating the country toward a Civil War that Adams, at one point, thought not only inevitable but perhaps even salutary. He turned the rules of the House against his opponents, at one point arguing:
"Let every gentleman, let every member of this House, ask his own heart with what confidence, with what boldness, with what freedom, with what firmness, he would give utterance to his opinions on this floor, if, for every word, for a mere question asked of the Speaker, involving a question belonging to human freedom, to the rights of man, he was liable to be tried as a felon or an incendiary, and sent to the penitentiary."
And he won and, by the time he won, he was celebrated throughout the non-slave parts of the country as a giant figure in defense of human rights. So, as it happens, no, I would not prefer that we go back to an earlier conception of the First Amendment, thank you.
(By the way, if anyone wants to read more about this, the definitive study is William Lee Miller's Arguing About Slavery.)

There is exciting news today here at Hypable: the introduction of a brand new podcast. Smash Chat is a podcast all about the NBC television show Smash, which is set to premiere Monday, February 6. Following in Glee's footsteps, Smash is going to be a TV musical, but this time geared more towards adults. Lead by an all-star cast that includes names such as Debra Messing and Katharyn McPhee, Smash is going to take audiences behind the scenes of a Broadway musical and look at what it takes to create a hit.
Listeners of Hypable's Glee Chat will find that they recognize the voices of Smash Chat as it is hosted by Glee Chat's very own Jessica O'Neal, Coty Chanley, and Mitchel Clow. It is only natural that our resident Gleek podcasters would be excited about this new TV musical, so excited in fact, that they couldn't wait for the show to actually premiere before they started talking about it. Similar to Glee Chat, a new episode of Smash Chat will be recorded each week directly following the airing of a new episode of the television show. The podcast will find the hosts analyzing each new episode of Smash as well as discussing any big Smash news items that were released that week.
Join Jessica, Coty, and Mitchel in this first episode of Smash Chat as they introduce themselves and explain in a little more detail what you can expect from the podcast as well as what they are looking forward to when Smash premieres in February. Enjoy!
Listen to it below, and let us know what you think in the comments! If you'd like to download the MP3 file itself, click here (or right click and hit 'Save Target As…')

Business owners in downtown Canton say their shops need more focus. A group of store owners have formed the Canton Merchant's Association in hopes of bringing economic development to the village. Our Matt Jarchow tells us how they plan to do that and how the town can help.
CANTON, N.Y. -- In the past ten years downtown Canton has seen a transformation. Now the store owners who call the village home want to see the focus put on them.
"It's a beautiful little community," the Pear Tree's Brad Mintiner said. "It's the county seat of the largest county in New York. We've got five colleges in the county. We should be able to go out and get people."
To bring people downtown, Mintiner and other Main Street store owners formed the Canton Merchants Association. The CMA is still in its early stages, but town officials see its potential. "I'm just absolutely excited that we now have a nascent organization in the Canton Merchants Association that is as interested in the downtown area as the Town of Canton has been for years," supervisor David Button said.
Canton merchants are hoping to bring people and their money into downtown by bringing new businesses in. And the town has a way to help. The town has a revolving loan fund for incoming or existing businesses. Providing an avenue for local store owners to come or grow in Canton. The loan fund currently has $35,000 ready to be used.
"We do have a little extra money," Button said. "If there's someone out there who wants to get started in business in Canton my word for them is we've got business and we've got money to help you."
With about a dozen vacant locations in downtown Canton there's plenty of room for new stores. The CMA hopes to start taking steps to bring them in.
"We don't need to go through a lot more studies and surveys," Mintiner said. "We know pretty much what we need and want. And we're happy to have anybody's input."
While downtown may look much different than it did 10 years ago, Canton merchants still see room to grow.

Five adopted brothers that will see how their easy going life in the countryside will be changed by the death of their father, who gives part of his land to his only biological daughter, who comes to claim what belongs to her, Paula.

First I want to Thank everybody for all the lovely comments on my last post. Blogger doesn't always send a persons email-adress along with a comment, so I didn't got the chaince to thank everyone personal.
When I was taken the pictures of the quilt at my daughters home I also made a picture of her Oilily servies. I find this so lovely and colourful with all the polka dots. It makes me happy just to look at it.
M is collecting this servies piece by piece at Douwe Egberts with coffee-points. Those points come with the coffee and tea you buy from Douwe Egberts. Lots and lots of points are needed. Luckily M has the whole family saving for her, otherwise she was a nervous wreck by now from drinking all that coffee!!

Built in the USA and designed for home use, the Vesta Fia 30" Hybrid Fire Pit - LP combines the natural human fascination for fire with a modern design and rugged durability. This combination creates an amazingly unique fire pit that will be the topic of coversation for years to come! By use of a media grate positioned 5" from the bottom of the bowl, this fire pit can function with ceramic gas logs, suspended above the propane burner; it can burn real firewood, catching the ash in an easily-cleaned removable vent; or it can work as a traditional gas fire pit, with lava rock loaded onto the grate. With all of these options, the Vesta Fia 30" Hybrid Fire Pit - LP is truly one of the most unique fire pit designs on the market today.
- Fuel type: propane or wood
- Media grate included
- Convenient clean out vent
- Uniquely designed to be used as a wood or gas fire pit
- Unit arrives unstained, then naturally patinas
Forged from 11 gauge cor-ten steel, the Vesta Fia 30" Hybrid Fire Pit - LP is built for top-of-the-line durability and a classic, antique look. Also known as Weathering Steel, the cor-ten alloy is designed to form a rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements. This process takes place over the first few months of exposure, during which time the metal adopts a distinct patina unique to your fire pit.
Note: Heat output can vary due to gas pressure and ambient temperature.

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Installation Time: 1 Hour
Description: This solenoid allows the Safelnjection® system to decrease the boost pressure of a supercharged vehicle in the event of a lo flow situation. When the Safe lnjection® module detects a low flow situation, a 12V signal IS sent on the green wire to one of the black wires of the solenoid, redirecting boost pressure. This prevents boost pressure from reaching the bypass, causing it to open and reduce boost pressure to the engine. Please refer to the diagram below for installation.
Under normal conditions the solenoid allows pressure and airflow to pass through from the CYL port to the EXH port. In the event that a 12V signal from the SafeInjection module reaches the solenoid, it will redirect pressure and flow to the IN port. This keeps boost pressure from reaching the bypass and in turn allows the bypass to open, reducing boost pressure to the engine.
Mechanical Installation: Use the included hose barbs in the perts of the solenoid. It is not necessary to install a hose barb on the 'IN' port of the solenoid, as it will vent pressure to atmosphere in the event of a low flow situation. Use a small amount of E6000 GOOP® (available at any parts or crafts store) sealant on the threads to prevent pressure leaks. The boost Signal goes to the CYL port. Connect the EXH port to the bypass valve pressure sensor port. If the vehicle is equipped with a boost control solenoid as well as a bypass, connect the outlet of that solenoid to the 'CYL' port. Connect the 'EXH' port to the bypass valve as show above.
Electrical Installation: The Safe lnjection® solenoid has two black wires. One goes to ground, and the other connects to the green wire from the Safelnjection® harness. DO NOT connect the solenoid to the green wire from the control unit harness. Either black wire can go 0 ground or the green Safelnjection® wire.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Subject: If you do not like free videos then don't download them.
Why some are complaining about this video is beyond my understanding. It appears to work fine for me. Maybe the complainers should go do something else. Like go admire their idiotic TEA PARTY, or drool over the photo of their wanna be girlfriend Sarah Palin.
No offense to the normal person who admires the TEA PARTY or Palin (which is rare) but it is almost like after that bunch entered the picture, the internet became filled with haters. It especially makes no sense to me on this site where you can download movies for free.
The Internet Archive did not have to offer a free service but they did. Be glad that they are here, preserving our history, and teaching us about the past. As the old saying goes "Those who do not know about history is doomed to repeat it." And from some of the idiotic comments I have read recently on this site, there will be many repeating the course.

Subject: Please Please Stop Being so Nasty in your reviews
I enjoy seeing parts of history in a movie or reading it in an e-book, on my schedule. I was born in 1962. Without IA's structure, uploaders, we would not have this site, for our viewing/reading pleasure. IA is great!!
The uploaders/staff/volunteers etc., on IA are AMAZING! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR ALL YOUR TIME & EFFORT. I TRUELY ENJOY and use IA DAILY. The movies today do not resonate with me. Some are OK but?? My husband tells everyone that I am an addicted IA/TCM fanatic wife. :) :)
WITHOUT INTERNET ARCHIVES, I would not have access to classic movies, commercials and e-books from the 17th-19th century. I have discovered authors that I did know about, Wilke Collins, Anthony Trollop & many more.
As this is a free site, WE should be Respectful and Grateful to all involved with IA. All of US are human, there will be mistakes, but consider this, look at how many movies are A-OK. We all know things happen eh hmmmmmmmmmmm:)
If any of US see a problem with sound/picture quality/copywrite issue etc., send an e-mail to IA. Do not get hysterical, or start swearing on the page etc. As they say on Dragnet, "just the facts reviewer, just the facts"
Remember ALL, this is a FREE SERVICE FOR OUR USE AND ENJOYMENT. IA would love donations, to make the site better. WE SHOULD GIVE if we can, but if we cannot, we still have access to the site. IA IS FREE, and an EXCELLENT site for US that Love Classic's.
I had to do this e-mail. I am sick and tired of US out there complaining, thay are so judgemental. Some of US need to take a 'Chill Pill'. For Pete's sake, it is a movie, not the Declaration of Independence.
Just Saying...........
The Kennedy/Nixon debate was great! I wish more

Subject: What happened to Mr. Kennedy?
I was shocked at reading the most recent review! As an educator, I cannot imagine someone who did not know President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963.
We have come a long way since the 1960s and I do not believe poverty is such an issue. I do agree that we have fewer liberties than we had then, but you can look to the Congressional participants that followed for the answers.

It would seem , listening to Kennedy, that we have accomplished none of his wishes...or very few!
Poverty is worse than ever ,our schools are cutting their budget and Corporatism has taken over totally. We are less Free now by far than in 1960. What happened Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Nixon ?

Subject: Great debate
Nixon was coming from the hospital due to illness and did not shave.
Kennedy was tanned and rested and had the benefit of studio makeup.
Those who watched the debate thought Kennedy had one, those that heard it on the radio thought Nixon won.
I heard this on the radio and thought it was interesting.

Subject: A chance to see how things were
Kennedy sounds a lot more conservative than I remembered at that time. He and Nixon were worthy opponents but they were definitely facing the future with courage and hope. Appearance wise Kennedy looked more at ease than Nixon but laws are signed behind closed doors by people holding pens in their hands, without cameras recording hairdos and suite colors.

I can't believe the attitude expressed by some of the reviewers here...this is a free resource of thousands of films, do you have any idea how much work it takes to maintain it? The archive relies of users to alert them to problems, not to make snide comments and unreasonable demands of a FREE resource...
Regardless of what you think of Nixon and Kennedy, it is a part of history that need to be easily available...should we just burn the films just 'cause we find them distasteful? Perhaps we should delete Hitler from the history books as well...

Subject: Detalles tecnicos y como editarlo correctamente.
Esta pelicula tiene 00:16:11 mins. del cual el sonido tiene una duracion de 8:31 seg. (Por eso tiene un sonido acelerado). Por eso para prevenir ese problema y hacer que el sonido es correcto, uds pueden seguir estos pasos:
Necesitan estos programas.
1: TMPGEnc: (Para editar la pelicula en Mpg, VCD)
2: Goldwave: (Editor de audio)
Primero debemos pasar la pelicula sin editar, solo descomprimimos el audio, cancelamos la edicion y vamos a File/Output to File/Wave File.
(Aca pasamos el sonido en Wave), ahora vamos al Goldwave y vemos que el sonido tiene una duracion aprox de 8 minutos, del cual dura 16 minutos (duracion video) el resto es sin sonido.
Borramos el fragmento sin sonido y tenemos la parte con sonido pero con el sonido rapido, ahora vamos a la seccion "Playback Rate" y ponemos aprox. 20400 (casi similar a esto, ahora no recuerdo cual es el correcto. Debe durar 16:11:804) en esta opcion el Goldwave va a poner casi (en milisegundos) 16:11:800. una vez que pongamos "lento" el sonido debemos ver si dura la misma velocidad del video, si es asi debemos grabar el audio (resample) en el formato correcto que el TMPEGEnc lea. Una vez que sea compatible vamos al programa mencionado y editamos el video y ponemos el sonido que editamos, y configuramos el video a gusto.
Una nota adicional: Al relentizar el audio posiblemente pierda un poco la calidad, esto es porque es "Rapido" a "Lento".
Espero que estas instrucciones puedan servir de algo.

|Hello all, I was hoping that you could help me put together the elements of a water reclamation system for my rooftop garden. Here are the specifics:
I have a carriage house in Brooklyn, NY. It has a 1,500 square foot roof. The roof is almost 100% covered with skylights, deck and planters. I'd say it's about 20% skylights, 60% deck, and 20% planters.
(Before anyone brings up a green roof, I went with a decked roof because I have no yard -- this roof is my only outdoor space, so ipe and pavers for me.)
Currently, there's a drip irrigation system that's attached to the city water supply. I, of course, pay for that water... and then pay again as the city charges a sewer charge that's dependent on the amount of water you use.
(This sewer charge galls me because the vast majority of water I use to irrigate never ends up in the sewer.)
Ok, next piece of background is that the drainage for my roof -- both rain and any overflow from the irrigation or occasional hose-watering runs to 2 downspouts and down the back of the house to a concrete paved area between me and the apartment building behind me. It all ends up in a ground drain that I suppose ultimately connects to the city sewer... although it drains so slowly that I think the pipe is collapsed and the water is just absorbed by the ground underneath my building and the building behind me.
So here's what I have in mind.
1. Some tanks or other storage behind my house that hold the water that comes off my roof. I actually have room for quite a few tanks. My land back there is the width of the house -- 50 feet -- and 5' deep. So I could connect up a long series of these tanks and hold a LOT of water.
2. A pump that sends the water back up to the roof whenever the irrigation system calls for water. The pump would have to energy efficient enough that I'm not paying a whole lot more for the electricity than I'm paying for the water. Also, because my house is 2 stories tall, and the area behind the house is down 1 excavated story, the pump will be sending the water up over 30'.
3. Some sort of valve/switch that recognizes when the tanks are empty and sends water from the city water instead.
Lastly, the acquisition and installation cost of the whole system has to be low enough that it pays for itself over a reasonable number of years.
So... any ideas? Anyone want to point me in the right direction or point out the flaws in my design?
Thanks in advance and no suggestion is too out there. Bring it on.
Follow-Up Postings:
|What is your current usage for irrigation and its costs?
I doubt you can make a system that you can justify on economics. In my area, water + sewage costs run about 1.3 cents per gallon. Your irrigating ~300 sq/ft, with drip you should less than gallon or two per sqft per month. So there is not alot of potential savings.
| A single 55 Gal watering system can be done between $100 - $200! (excluding pump)!
Where as we collect water into a 1200 gallon underground tank and use a shallow well jet pump for distribution to our five water stations. Initial installation costs were over $4,000 in material and I did the work! And I'm considering adding an additional 800-1200 gallon tank!
Your issues are going to be 1. What do your local building codes allow. 2. How large a tank can you use. 3. A large $$$ for you is going to be the size of the pump needed to pump water to the roof!
Hope this helps........
|Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it strikes me as wasteful to let gravity take the rainwater from roof height to the ground, then use electricity to pump it back up. Can't you find a way to collect and store rainwater at roof level? Rain barrels are widely available. The collector could be something as simple as a tarp mounted on a simple frame, say, 8' above roof level, and angled downward to a big-box-store rain gutter.
The issue is going to be the weight of the water. At over 7 lbs / gallon, the weight will exceed the allowable roof load rather quickly!

I own this eyeshadow in Bronzed Taupe, Bottomless Java, Eternal Sunshine, Amber Rush, Perpetual Purple, Smoldering Plum, and Golden Emerald. They all go on beautifully and last all day. without creasing. They all have some shimmer, which I love. You get a decent amount in each one. I wear Bronzed Taupe and Bottomless Java every day, and will probably pick up Iced Latte to use as a browbone color. It is necessary to keep the lid on these. I thought it was a hassle to unscrew it every time so I left the lids off 4 of mine and they all dried out and got ruined. I liked them enough that I replaced them all.

I was impressed with this eyeshadow, mostly because it is soft and decently pigmented and came from a drugstore. On the eyelids these didn't knock my socks off (I was more excited when I swatched it on my hand) the colors are a little "meh" as in not a whole lot of dimension or that certain special finish. I bought bronzey taupe, amber rush and bottomless java. I thought the amber rush would be similar to my urban decay chopper (one of my favorite summer shades) but when I did one on each eye the amber rush was pretty but very flat and plain next to chopper. I don't think I would repurchase, but if you are looking for drugstore shadows at a decent price these are probably the best you can find.

I think that these are a little pricey for drugstore-brand single eyeshadows, but these are seriously the best-quality drugstore eyeshadows I've ever used. Forget L'Oreal's H.i.P. line, I think it's crap. I would even reach for Infallible eyeshadows off the shelves in a heart beat compared to Urban Decay's singles. The Infallible eyeshadows may not be offered in the widest range of shades like MAC or Urban Decay shadows, but $6-8 a pop is a steal for soft, silky, easy-to-apply, all-day, highly pigmented, fade-free and moisture-resistant (NOT waterproof) wear. I know that's a mouthful but I have 12 of these (and still collecting) for a reason!
Again, the colors offered are generally basic--no neons here--but they are still highly pigmented (even without primer), wearable, and buildable, and are easy to apply both wet and dry. The colors are almost entirely shimmery; very few shades are matte, such as Sultry Smoke and Continuous Cocoa. Of course, there are limited edition shades every now and then that are of more unique colors. Once applied, Infallible eyeshadows set beautifully and don't fade by the end of the day; I've never seen them crease even on my oily eyelids, and again this has held true for both with and without primer. The primer helps if I want more opaque color.
The texture of the product is absolutely unreal for drugstore eyeshadows. It's not a loose powder, but not a pressed powder; it's somewhere in between. It reminds me of a slightly looser, soft and plush more powdery version of Maybelline's Dream Bouncy blushes, but easier to pick up color with any applicator: sponge, brush, or finger tip. The packaging is also very neat; the color is easy to see from the outside of the packaging, and when the powder gets messy, the included stopper packs it all back into place. No useless extras like crap brushes.
My favorite drugstore eyeshadows are still Maybelline's Eye Studio Color Plush eyeshadows, which are equally soft and highly pigmented (and generally shimmery) and I feel are more fairly priced (4 shades for $8-10 ~ $2.25 per shade -VS- $6-8 for a single L'Oreal shade), but they are not as plush as the Infallibles. The Infallible eyeshadows may lack the shade range of higher-end shadows, but they are the best drugstore eyeshadows for an unwavering pop of color on eyelids, at a value that's hard to beat.

On the oily skin scale of 1-10, my skin is a 50 so maybe that explains why this didn't last past a few hours on my lids. Also, I found the packaging confusing.....which is the top and bottom of the container. With that being said, I probably would buy this again because the colors and texture is so nice and nothing lasts long on my super oily skin.

Holy grail status here!!!!!! I love love love this product. It's a very creamy shadow that turns into a powder form. I bought the first shade in iced latte and I fell in love. They are generally inexpensive around 6 or 7 dollars. They apply beautifully and stay very much in place I always use an eye primer but even without a primer, corrector or base I'm sure it would still be awesome!

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I could spend an eternity raving about these things, I swear.
This is a rave about Primped & Precious, a gunmetal silver, Gold Imperial, a yellow-gold, and Blinged & Brilliant, a rose gold. Now, these usually aren't the world's most wearable colors, but L'Oreal created such good quality eyeshadows that all those notions fly out the window.
Primped & Precious, the silver, is a middle-toned, cool color. The color is definitely impeccable, but you do need to build it up if you want to get the full, opaque tone. Its ultimate finish is a beautiful, highly metallic shine, and it serves wonders for brightening up my dark eyes. I love pairing it with Urban Decay's Gunmetal as a crease shade for a truly beautiful ombre or smoky look.
Gold Imperial is an ostentatious color, for sure. It is a festive, energetic yellow-gold. I love it; it's actually very wearable and looks well-done. It should be built up two or so layers to fully bring out its opacity. The full, opaque look is metallic with a slight shimmer in its finish; it deviates from the other two Infallibles that I own. However, I think it's great for special occasions, and it can be paired with a black for a gorgeous smoky eye.
Blinged & Brilliant is a gentle, classy rose gold; it looks exactly like the rose gold color that you would see in fine jewelry. This one goes on fully opaque in about one coat, but it is still very buildable. The finish here is also a purely metallic shine, which also does wonders for brightening the eyes. If you'd like, you can also use it as a cheek highlight, because the pinkish tones accent the face very well. It's difficult to pair this with another eyeshadow, but any tawny brown works as a good crease complement.
The texture of these singles is truly unique; it's almost moist, in a sense. The shadows are very dense, and that's what makes them so buildable. Fallout is extremely rare with these shades, and I've been super impressed with their staying power- with primer, of course. I can't say that there is much sparkle to these eyeshadows; there's only metallic quality to them.
The price is a teeny bit excessive; the cheapest price I've seen is $9 each. However, you really do get amazing quality and each little pan has a very generous amount of eyeshadow to last a long time. I highly recommend this line, it is truly a winner!

I have super oily eyelids. Even with the awesome Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, some colors will crease. But these eyeshadows stay on all day with primer underneath and the worst thing that will happen is very light creasing, and that's only rarely. I think this may be the one Loreal product I can't live without
I prefer this texture to Maybelline's Color Tattoo, which is more of a cream eyeshadow. The Infallible texture is basically a packed loose pigment. I like that you can apply this shadow with either a brush or with your fingers (I prefer brush). I recently just bought three more but I always get compliments when I wear the two I have, Amber Rush and Golden Sage. Both look great on tanned skintones like mine- Amber Rush is a gorgeous rose gold/copper color and Golden Sage is a wonderful green that is both sparkly and professional.
