Good episode, nice to have something completely character driven with no direct connection to current events (that I know of, maybe phrelin will come up with something) and, good for Peggy. I've been in the same situation; it's hard but there comes a point where you have to grow. Although she's a little too old to be a baby boomer (I think they said she was 19 in 1960, making her born in 1941), she'll certainly fare better than the rest of the SCDP crowd.
Good for Lane, too, for finding a way to be a friend to Joan in the only way he thought he could.
The rest of the review will have to wait a while...

No question, Lane was 100% concerned about his "bonus" getting found out. He's all about Lane, nobody else. But he has slowly emerged to become kind of a fascinating character on his own.
I guess this ep was metaphorically, "Love for Sale". We're all whores one way or another.

Megan gone for 3 months?? Gee, I wonder what Don's going to do to fill in the lonely time...can't imagine.

I had to hit Play again to make sure the doubled scene was new, that I hadn't somehow rewound to the first run through. I don't think it was different footage, but it truncated earlier.
"Good ole" Pete, while doing anything for a buck, at least seemed stable this ep. Recently he seemed to be heading over a cliff.
As to current events, no I didn't see anything. The closing song was the Kinks,
Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Now, is there significance to the very red thermos Peggy grabs and puts under her arm, then holds it like a bazooka as she hastily departs? Must be, but I don't grok it yet.

Pete-the-Pimp asked Joan: "Do you consider Cleopatra a prostitute?"
Pimping Jaguar. a well-groomed pile of junk, to wealthy men, Michael Ginsberg said: "At last. Something beautiful you can truly own."
And yet, two numbers were very important in this episode - $19,000 and $50,000. Neither of them seem significant, so let's convert them into today's dollars using the All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index rounding to the nearest $1,000 - $132,000 and $347,000.
Peggy sold herself for $132,000 a year. Joan allowed the men of SCDP to sell her, but she turned down a one time payment of $347,000, accepting a 5% voting partnership in SCDP.
And if you didn't notice, my better half did notice that Michael Ginsberg, has also sold himself - his talent - to SCDP, and just as much as Peggy needs recognition.
It has been asserted that security, recognition, and/or achievement are human needs that permit a complex economy to function. Most of us seek to gain a mix of these needs by selling ourselves to our employers or our clients.
And yet, most of us have limits. Don/Dick is troubled because for the partners of SCDP to maintain that mix of security, recognition, and achievement they want, getting Jaguar as an account seems critical. But there are limits, aren't there? Well, not for his partners, apparently, as they all agree in his absence to let Pete literally pimp Joan out to get Jaguar.
And so Weiner offers us what appears to be the same scene twice.
In the first showing of the scene, Don feels he is preventing Joan from going beyond the limits he has determined are appropriate for her. Joan tells him "You're a good one, aren't you?"
When we get to the repeat of the scene, we first see Joan removing the emerald pendant from around her neck. It changes the context of the scene meaningfully because we know where she got it.
Joan has not been able to get that mix of security, recognition, and achievement in her life despite her contributions at SCDP. But becoming a voting 5% partner is her selling price, a fair price for crossing a line she thinks she has already edged up to with Roger and with Dr. Greg.
So in the repeat, aware that Don gallantly decided what her limits must be, says "You're a good one, aren't you?"
And so the Jaguar contract is won. And Joan may end up owning 5% of a business that will be worth hundreds of millions, from which she may start earning annually far more than that $50,000 one time offer. In the end, she sold herself for security and recognition.
Peggy's choice offers a contrast. Her needs are recognition and achievement. Her former supervisor Freddy Rumsen tells her she has to decide whether it's about ambition or just complaining. He says "If this was about work and not about feeling, you'd make a move."
But Peggy doesn't have Lane helping her with her negotiations. And so she meets with Ted Chaough, of Cutler, Gleason and Chaough, one of those guys who really irritates Don. Chaough wants Peggy because he knows she can perform. But Chaough wants Peggy because he wants to stick it to Don and SCDP.
Peggy doesn't say to him "Make me an offer I can't refuse" followed up by a "Let me think about it and get back to you next week."
Instead at Chaough's urging, she gives him her number, $18,000 ($125,000). Chaough closes the deal by offering a surprising to her $19,000 ($132,000). Could she have gotten $25,000 ($174,000)? Maybe. We don't know.
But after being left out of the lobster banquet and having Don humiliating her by throwing money in her face, she takes it agreeing not to interview with anyone else. Because for Peggy, its about achievement and recognition, and $18,000 is more than enough for her security, much less $25,000.
Now comes the hard part - telling Don. Peggy "feels" that she has long been Don's other woman, what many call his "office wife." Don "feels" this also, but he's a guy - he doesn't know it. And so, in a manner consistent with prior season, one of the more emotional scenes of the series is Peggy giving Don this news, with Don sharply reacting with a "How much do you want" and a "After all I've done for you" and then ironically having to shake her hand and hear her say "Don't be a stranger."
Nobody is feeling more like a "stranger", outside the groups that make up his surroundings, than Don. He's a partner with foreigners. He really can't be in the group of his subordinate creative types. And in every family he joins, he cannot find a place.
Don lost his first wife, the only person who seemed to support him because she knew he needed emotional support, to cancer.
He lost his second wife because it was a relationship built on lies.
He clearly is getting the message that being with him will not make Megan happy. He's, at best, just going to be a piece of her life.
His office wife, Peggy, just left him.
Despite his advice based on his own experience that "it's not worth it", his only real peer at work, Joan, has just sold out. And because she did, he doesn't know if his talent was of value to SCDP in getting Jaguar.
And so Don/Dick tells Megan: "I was going to watch Carson and cry myself to sleep."

So which of the the two Don/Joan visits (before and after) was supposed to be real? Is Weiner really telling us they BOTH happened or "it doesn't matter" which really happened? That would be crossing a huge David Lynch line into surreal abstraction and fantasy which has never been the show's style.
It was the same scene. The first time we were led to believe that Don intercepted Joan before her rendezvous. Then we are shown, through the emerald, that Don was too late.
Posted 28 May 2012 - 02:03 PM
I revisited (in my mind; later on tape. Oops: On HDD; bits n bytes!) the Peggy goodbye scene. Is she the Madonna and the other women whores? When he grasps her hand for a mighty long kiss, it seems to suggest that to me.
And who's going to "get" the red thermos? Has it appeared in any previous shows?
Posted 28 May 2012 - 02:59 PM
Apparently she did the deed immediately after work and was home by 7 or so. Thus Don might have thought he stopped her.
You know, this calls to mind Don's willing whoring out of the art director. He basically told Sal to go ahead and do Lee Garner Jr. "Don't you people do that stuff all the time anyways?" Don't you, Don?

In the first, it begins with Mom answering the door, letting Don in and trying to take Don's hat and coat, then disappearing into the bedroom, leaving Don and us in the living room. Joan and Mom come out of the bedroom, Mom leaves the living room, Don and Joan have a full exchange, Joan sees Don out, (and Don-the-unaware tells her to say something to her "friend").
In the second, the scene begins in the bedroom with Joan taking off the emerald pendant, Mom comes in to tell Joan her boss is here, Joan protests, they both go out to the living room, Mom leaves the room, we see only the initial part of Don and Joan's exchange, and then we switch to a new scene in the office.
The first gives us Don's full point of view about what occurred. The second gives us the true context, of which Don is unaware. There was a relatively short bit repeated to assure us that it was the same event.

Given the research they do in "Mad Men", when one goes to Wikipedia it seems it might have been chosen because of the "if we don't get this client, we're dead" background in the show: "Ray Davies ... tells the story of how the Kinks needed to have a hit within their first three singles in order to maintain their record contract."

In real life, no Don Draper is going to plant an extended kiss to the back of any woman's hand in that circumstance. It was a symbolic/metaphorical act, not a realistic one. In fact, they even awkwardly cut away from it to Peggy's reaction as it was not in character for Don at all.
I love how in the Jaguar celebration someone points out how from the presentation "it wasn't even close!" In other words, Joan tramped it up for nothing, except financial security for her kid. And for a single woman in 1967, achieving a life of security for her kid was HUGE. You know Joan never would have done it for herself. And by his very act of pimping her out, she had now lost all faith in Roger supporting their child. And all faith in Roger as a person.
Are we getting slowly steered towards a Don/Joan finale?? Megan is already gone for all practical purposes. Eventually she will land one of these road jobs and be off for months, and Don won't stand for that as we've already seen. Besides, they have nothing in common culturally, the huge age difference. And now the theater that will take Megan directly into the sway of handsome, horny 20-something guys with mega time on their hands for Megan.
Don wasn't just upset by Megan rejecting advertising. Don was also upset because he could no longer keep his eye on her for 10 hours a day. He's no fool. He knows exactly what's coming. He's rapidly becoming an old-and-in-the-way man like Roger.
BTW, a bit odd that in the discussion between Megan and Don about her running off for months at a time nothing was said about her duties with the children. I mean, that should have been the #1 issue! Except I guess they both know that Don is the #1 child in the family.

Before this season's premiere, I watched the first four seasons over several days running and I really got into the show. This year, not so much...it seems like the silly season where the writers were hopped-up on dark chocolate or draino.You either get MM or you don't. Like I'm not a Breaking Bad or Walking Dead kind of guy. I don't get what's interesting about them. But MM is as addictive as Lucky Strikes! (and they are mild)
Or mebbe it's that the theories and analyses offered here tend to everwhelm, or as Chuck Lorre put it in his Vanity Card #369, "paralysis by analysis".
Well said, Charles!

There have been other shows that attempt through scripted television to take on the moral issues of the time. Most have been entertaining. "All in the Family" took on issues head on, sometimes with a sledge hammer, but mostly with comedy. Others, like "Star Trek" created clearly imaginary settings.The more I read here, the more I am losing (not loosing) interest in the program.
The strength and weakness of "Mad Men" is that it uses our past - far enough back to have sets using items that could be antiques - but it's a time that many viewers lived. And then it explores one element of our culture that requires participants to engage in a significant effort to avoid outright fraud and participates in the many questionable to harmful economic exchanges - advertising.
About this episode having no direct connection to current events.
Let's begin with the fact that "prostitute" has three meanings according to Dictionary.com:
Consider the third and fifth definitions carefully. The characters in this show are confronted with choices. Many times their choices involve those definitions.
People haven't changed for the better since 1966.
Unfortunately, marketing has become a much larger element in our lives. For example, selling politicians most certainly has become more like selling Jaguars, particularly that "E Jag" SCDP is seeking to make men lust after, a far-less-than-perfect product made desirable through illusion and image.
I can't help thinking about the underlying marketing effort that led to our most recent economic crash. In truth the cause had as much to do with banker and broker types selling their souls for large annual bonuses by knowingly taking money from people, particularly people lusting after the ultimate symbol of the American dream - home ownership, which could only be facilitated by stealing money from other people - investors who thought they were investing in notes secured by the safe bastion of investment, home mortgages.
And then there's the recent Facebook IPO fiasco. The original discussions had the IPO price significantly lower and the number of shares to be offered significantly fewer.
Through illusion and image building, the value of the company was projected to be much higher than the norms used for determining value would justify. Some things happened the last two weeks before the IPO that were making that fact clear. The involved investment bankers gave some last minute key info to institutional investors in an effort to protect these primary clients on whom they depend for income.
In the process of creating this illusion, then favoring institutional investors, the investment bankers hurt individual investors and likely most of the 3,200 employees of Facebook. They knew this.
But they prostitute themselves for money all the time.
Which leads to Joan's choice. There is as much symbolism here as elsewhere in this episode.
Though Joan was given a good salary - she was told she was badly needed - Joan was not offered a partnership in SCDP.
Joan has business management acumen. Joan is considered a very desirable, sexually attractive woman. The former will get her a modest salary. The latter could get her more. The combination could maker her wealthy and powerful.
In other times and places outside the sexually uptight culture of puritan United States, a courtesan played an extremely important role in upper-class society. At times individual courtesans wielded considerable power and controlled considerable wealth.
Joan had a mistress relationship with Roger, perhaps even loved Roger, and did, does, pretty much understand Roger. But she was bitterly disappointed when their relationship, she as his courtesan, failed to gain her the power and wealth she hoped. Now she was additionally disappointed by Roger, the SCDP partner.
Joan initially thought she could love Doctor Greg, but she really misjudged him as a person and as a potential source of position and money.
So what about Herb Rennet, head of the Jaguar dealer group, and the emerald.
Leave it to Weiner to name this character after plants we use to make other things flavorful - Herb - plus the distasteful but important enzymes produced in mammals stomach which is used to make cheese - Rennet. Herb finds himself in a position of minor power. The source of his power is this car, which we all know from the episode is a symbol of the mistress, or even perhaps the courtesan.
Herb doesn't want SCDP to hire him another common call girl. He is captivated by Joan in the same way he wants men captivated by his car. He gives her an emerald pendant. The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus. He doesn't pay Joan, that would be demeaning. He trades the Jaguar account to SCDP for her time. He imagines she is SCDP's courtesan, and they will, must, properly compensate her with wealth and power.
And indeed they must, beyond the salary she receives for her business management acumen. Dimwit Pete asks her to become an in-house prostitute paid on a per transaction basis. That turns out to be insulting to Joan, even at $50,000. The clueless partners of SCDP don't know what a courtesan is, except Lane, who explains to Joan how to become a courtesan, only in American business language.
And so Joan gains a 5% interest in the partnership with full voting rights, becoming a courtesan sharing in the money and power.
It's hard to find a character in this show who we can point to as an example of exemplary behavior. Whether the behavior is "base and unworthy" may be a matter of judgement, but when a choice is made "for money" one had better examine it carefully.
When "greed is good" is a mantra for many, it is not surprising that a show that challenges us to question that mantra succeeds.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: pool report #11- 2nd Denver fundraiser and lid
Potus departed Pepsi Center just before 9:20 p.m. MT. Arrived at POTUS
hotel a few minutes later. We have a lid.
No news at the second Denver fund-raiser, Potus was introduced by Sen.
Michael Bennett. Obama returned kind words to Bennett calling him a work
horse, not a show horse in Washington.
Early in Obama's remarks, someone in the audience appeared to have
fainted. Obama asked if there was an EMT. "Make sure she's OK... I think
she'll be fine," he said. "And, Michael, this is no reflection on the
length of your introduction."
Pool couldn't see how it resolved, but a Democratic official said someone
got her water and escorted her out.
Obama said "I'm here not just because I need your help.. I'm here because
America needs your help."
He said that if anyone thinks the last election was important "wait `til
you get a load of this election."
Someone in the crowd yelled "we have your back" and Obama replied "I
appreciate that."
He spoke at length about the jobs bill and its fate in Congress, and if
you can't guess what he said, you obviously haven't been paying attention.
He offered a familiar riff about how Republicans-this time he said it was
Republican presidential candidates-- have only two ideas for the
economy-tax cuts for the rich/corporations and gutting regulations.
"As difficult as change might be, change is possible," he said. He said
they have accomplished a lot even as they have struggled with the economy
and the "resistant opposition" --"You like my word choice there?" he
He then explained that "change" looks like health insurance for 30 million
people, bank subsidies out of the student loan program, repeal of don't
ask-don't tell, higher fuel standards for cars and trucks, saving the auto
industry which is now "making a profit for the first time in a very long
time," and ending the Iraq war "and bring our troops home" (which got the
biggest applause of the list and maybe of the whole speech).
"That is what you accomplished."
Good night from Denver.

August 13, 1971 Pink copy Mr. Philip B. Dettmer Mineral & Metallurgical Engineer Apdo Postal 31-243 Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico Dear Phil: It is still a mystery as to how you missed my letter of April 28th, copy of which is enclosed. The address appears correct and checks with what you gave me over the telephone. After checking over my calendar, it appears the easiest time for a trip to Mexico City would be right after Labor Day, say the 8th or 9th of September. Should this time be agreeable to you for visiting Pueblo and Guadalajara, would it be all right if I brought a Utah man, Hugh Douglas, along with me? Mr. Douglas is in the Corporate Planning Group of Utah as Manager of Mineral Resource Planning, Therefore, it would be appropriate if you could meet him, particularly in light of the possibility for consulting work later on. While in Mexico City, we would like to meet an attorney familiar with the mineral industry. Please let me know if the September date is agreeable to you. Yours sincerely, Weston Bourret WB:fs Encl. Apdo. Postal 31-243 Mexico Guadalajara 5, Jalisco Mexico August 17, 1971 Mr. Weston Bourret, Vice Pres. Utah Construction Company 550 California Street San Francisco, California Dear Wes: It was most pleasant hearing from you again by telephone the other day. Here is the book I offered to loan you. It is not specific to mining or mineral ventures but does provide a condensed guide to taxes, laws, ownership, labor law, types of business associations, restrictions and limitations. Note in the Appendix a list of 500 suggested industries needed in Mexico. A few discrete inquiries with knowledgeable Mexican friends has developed the names of two reliable men in Mexico City. One is a banker and representative of the Bank of Montreal. He is reported to be quite knowledgeable in financing foreign investments and Mexican economics. The other is a partner in one of the reputable accounting and auditing firms in Mexico City. Both men speak fluent english. Upon reciept of your letter, I can start setting up a visit to the HYLSA mini-steel plant at Puebla. Flights leave Los Angeles daily about 14:00 hrs. arriving in Mexico City about 20:00hrs with a stopover at Guadalajara. A rented car ride the next day to Puebla takes about 1 1/2 hrs. We could drive back to Mexico City the same day. The following day could be spent in Mexico City with a possible flight to Los Angeles for you the same night. I am looking forward to being of whatever assistance possible. Very truly yours, Phil Philip B. Dettmer April 28, 1971 Mr. Philip B. Dettmer Mineral & Metallurgical Engineer Apdo Postal 31-243 Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico Dear Phil: This is just a personal note as a follow up to our conversations at the AIMS meeting in Hew York during February. As I recall, you thought it would be a fine idea if I visited the Ministeel plant during April or May in order to better appreciate the fine points and economics of the HYL Process. And I accepted - assuming of course, that there would be no problem in setting this up with your colleagues. My schedule shows some openings in both May and June. Rather than for me to suggest a date, could you come up with one or two options convenient to you and Engineer Francisco Salinas V. 1 recall your suggesting that I fly directly to Mexico City, then take a connecting flight to Guadalajara, or Monterey. X still have your telephone number at Hojalata y Lamina. S.A. and will call to confirm whatever time you set up in your letter. With kindest regards and looking forward to seeing you. Yours sincerely, WB/ts

The Bolivar County Board of Supervisors voted in support of the intent to create resolutions for two new separate sewage utility districts at a recess meeting held Tuesday morning.
According to supervisors President Andrew Williams, grey water from the districts will be accepted by the city of Cleveland.
The board is facing pressure to improve the systems in a timely manner or otherwise lose grant money from the Delta Regional Authority.
The DRA has informed the board it must show significant progress in order to gain extension of support.
DRA funding and loans from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Equality are essential for upgrading the two systems in Bolivar County, as well as the Isaac Daniels subdivision in Mound Bayou, which will be operated by the city of Mound Bayou.
Bolivar County will be responsible for repaying the loans on all three projects.
Butler Snow law firm in Jackson has been hired by the board for legal guidance and assistance in establishing the two districts in Bolivar Countyx, which would impact approximately 140 property owners.
Butler Snow attorneys Sam Keyes and Michael Caples advised at Tuesday's meeting that the best plan of action was to begin the process immediately.
"It would be better to focus on two subdivisions rather than one countywide system," said Keyes. "This would be the most efficient and timely way to move forward. We recommend you start the process as soon as possible.
"The key is to show the DRA the significant progress you're making along the way."
The DRA could approve a second extension if substantial progress is shown.
For over 25 years, the residents of the subdivisions have pleaded for adequate upgrades.
"Sewage is a big problem for our neighborhood," said Claude Boddie Jr., a resident of the Noblin subdivision on numerous occasions. "It runs into the ditches around the neighborhood and on hot days, the smell will hit you. This is a problem that we have been trying to get addressed for years."
After showing support for the resolution, the board must now follow mandated procedures by advertising public notices and holding public hearings.
Public hearings were tentatively scheduled for 5:30 p.m. for Noblin residents and 6:30 p.m. for Stanton residents on Feb. 12 at the Bolivar County Expo annex building.
Bolivar County Engineer Bob Eley said, "This whole thing has been dragged out by trying to figure out who's going to operate the new systems.
"We've also got to get a clear idea of operating costs that will go into these districts. We need to create a budget for operation and management costs."
Eley estimated the project could be completed within 9 months once construction begins.
Because the two subdivisions are not geographically close to each other, Caples recommended the separate systems.
"We're trying to take the path of least resistance," said Caples.
Several board members expressed concerns over who should foot the bill if construction surpasses the estimated $1.9 million.
"I think the county should take the burden of loan costs," said Williams. "Citizens should only have to pay for usage costs."
Williams added that there is no way to determine an exact amount the county will owe until bids are accepted, but with support from the DRA and DEQ, "We might have to pay nothing or between $200,000 - $300,000."
"The DEQ will forgive up to $1 million in loans," said Williams.

We Love to Paint! ... and it Shows!
Calhoun Painting Co.
We are Painters-in-Germantown, Painters-in-Collierville. Painters-in-Southaven, Painters-in-Olive-Branch, Painters-in-Hernando, Painters-in-Memphis.
First, we give your home a bath. We thoroughly wash all areas to be painted on your home or other exterior surface, to remove dirt, mildew and loose particles, and things such as cobwebs, dirt-dobber mounds and wasp nests. This is essential for proper adhesion of primers and paint.
Cover & Protect
To ensure that paint splatters don't end up on your sidewalks, driveway, roof shingles, porch, patio or landscaping, we cover them with thick tarps or plastic. We also move patio or porch furniture, grills and trash recepticals away from areas we'll be working. And we move them back when we're done.
Repair & Prepare
We then scrape any loose paint, sand all glossy areas, and make minor carpentry repairs as needed, such as replacing rotted wood around a garage door, window frame, overhang facial board or soffit. We then caulk all gaps and open seams to prevent future water intrusion and ensure a beautiful and uniform appearance.
Once repairs are complete we prime any bare wood and/or stains with a high quality stain resistant bonding primer to ensure any future flaking of the new paint.
Now its time to paint! High quality Sherwin-Williams brand Paints (such as SuperPaint, Duration or Resilience) are applied to the house surfaces by skilled craftsman painters using professional techniques. These include brushing, rolling and/or spraying, depending on the types of surfaces being painted. When we're done the entire house should look as good as the dormer in the picture above.
Clean Up
Clean up is both daily and at the completion of a job. This includes blowing off old scraped paint chips or other debris from the roof, sidewalks, porches and driveway, and removing empty paint cans, rags and tools from the premises. All painting materials, ladders and equipment are neatly stored overnight at the place you appoint, or are taken with us when we leave. Leftover paint is sealed and then marked for future touch-up convenience.
We do our own final inspection and then invite you to inspect along with us, to ensure your complete satisfaction with the work performed. We'll remind you of our unique 3 year guarantee and Free 30 day touch-up service—
just in case you need us after we leave ... providing you with an extra measure of peace-of-mind.
At Calhoun Painting we employ a professional, systematic approach when painting the outside of your home, to ensure years of lasting beauty and durability. Proper preparation and use of the best paint are key! Our painting system—which includes a 7-step system [below] and the use of Sherwin-Williams high grade exterior paints—permits us to guarantee our work for 3 full years (unheard of amongst painting contractors). And that's not all! Sherwin-Williams guarantees their top-rated
for 25 years and their best of the best
for as long as you own your house. It doesn't get any better than that!
Nothing makes a house look better than a fresh coat of paint. And nobody knows how to do it better than Calhoun Painters. We love making homes beautiful with paint, and giving them a clean fresh appearance and new life. Our craftsman painters employ several different painting methods—
brushing, rolling, spraying—
depending on the circumstances or request of our customers. We also can help you with selecting just the right up-to-date or timeless color that will make your home look picture- perfect.

with paint! Proper preparation is the key to quality painting of brick. Washing, priming and painting—
usually by spraying—
is our forte!
Give your brick home a whole new beautiful look and feel in the neighborhood
Sometimes all that's needed to make a house look new again is painting the shutters. Whether the color is just outdated, fading, or peeling, or the wood is cracking, we're great at restoring dilapidated shutters so they make your house look great from the street.
Whether you're painting or staining a new deck or restoring an old one, we know how to achieve quality results. We can brighten your old fading wood to look new again or stain your new deck to protect it from the harsh weather, providing years of durability and beauty. Or, we can paint your deck to blend with the outside of your home.

Mark SubbaRao, director of the Space Visualization Lab, demonstrates the tile wall, which is used to preview and test visuals for upcoming exhibits at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Ill., on Tuesday, May 7, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
♦ Opens May 17
♦ Adler Planetarium, 1300 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago
♦ (312) 922-7827;
Updated: June 18, 2013 7:04AM
As a pulsing nebula races toward the watchful audience, a hand shoots up to touch it. More hands follow suit, straining skywards. For the kids taking in the Adler's newest show, "Cosmic Wonder," outer space is just out of reach.
It's an illusion created by the latest technology: The Crab Nebula or stars in Orion seem to graze heads, when in fact they're projected on a dome nearly 40 feet above the audience. As the image gets larger, it appears closer and flatter — "or like the objects are dropping on top of you," said Mark SubbaRao, Adler astronomer and show creator.
Even the planetarium's president, speaking at an early screening, was initially fooled: "When I first saw the technology, I reached up." Michelle Larson embraced her gaffe: "I don't want to lose that sense of wonder."
The aptly named "Cosmic Wonder," which opens on May 17, is the most recent show created by the Adler Planetarium for its revamped (in 2011) Grainger Sky Theater. The 190-degree domed theater contains 20 military-grade projectors, which produce images so sharp, they appear to be 3-D. In the ever-upgrading technology world, it's still an unprecedented feat of imaging and power two years after installation. And with three shows plus plans to travel the last space show, "Welcome to the Universe," the planetarium is charting new territory. Adler has quietly emerged as a mini Hollywood of sorts, a global leader in creating space-themed educational entertainment.
"There's not much competition," said SubbaRao, who's been overseeing productions and helping lead theater efforts since before it opened. He points to New York City's Hayden Planetarium, which owns the same projector, but with less resolution. A few world expos in Asia have unveiled high contrast or full-sphere projections, but at great financial cost.
For Adler, the theater upgrade was a long time coming. The Zeiss Mark VI projector had aged, and the planetarium started a campaign to replace it. But the Zeiss' opta-mechanical technology, as old-fashioned as it was, created pinpoint-sized stars with great contrast, an important factor when screening space objects against an inky-black background. Finally, a 2008 technology show unveiled an ultra-high-contrast digital projector, with five times the number of pixels of a digital cinema display. The Adler took the leap.
But perhaps the biggest overhaul to its programming came when the Adler tore down the traditional space-show model. Instead of using recorded video footage, show creators mostly rely on rendered NASA data — in the case of "Cosmic Wonder," Hubble Space Telescope's imagery — to create an accurate view of space. In one breathtaking instance, the show zooms into the Carina Nebula, showing — at full resolution — part of an image the size of Soldier Field.
Rendering this data is no easy feat, and the Adler's relationships, like one with Microsoft, bolster production efforts.
For all its technological accomplishments, when "Cosmic Wonder" begins screening on May 17, audiences will notice its imperfections. There's something homespun about it: The contrast still lacks sharpness, SubbaRao and Larson share writing credits, the show presenters occasionally improvise. "We don't have a feature-film budget," SubbaRao acknowledged.
But put aside the glossiness and you're not only getting a glimpse of real space; you get an authentic picture of what astronomers really do. This "wonder" might top all.

SAECO sizing dies are made with a unique prelead that fits
the "as cast" bullet diameter for a depth of approximately
.3 inch. This special entrance throat insures that the bullet
feeds into the sizing diameter in absolute straight
The constriction between the two diameters
is a gentle taper which eliminates lead shearing and sizes
the bullet concentrically. The dies are finished by internal honing known as micro-finishing which produces a mirror like finish and a sizing hole that is perfectly round. Your bullets will look like polished silver with no lead shavings.

I'd like to add a ceiling fan to my bedroom, but I'm very easily disturbed by repetitive sounds. Can you recommend an absolutely silent ceiling fan? We have 8' ceilings, so I'd prefer one that is fairly compact and has a light as well. asked Aug 09 '11 at 16:42 srt19170 |
As an electrical contractor I will tell you that cost will definitely impact quietness and quality of constructions / materials. Hunters are ok but look at some high end lighting supply houses for ideas / brands. Another option to consider if all you want to do is turn the air over in the room is to use a remotely mounted exhaust fan and take the supply and exhasut from different end of the bedroom. Moutning the fan remotely wll definitely minimize the noise! good luck! linkanswered Oct 16 '11 at 17:24 jmac30 |
I actually removed a Harbor Breeze from my son's room and got him a Hunter instead. The Hunter models are very quiet; one in my daughter's room can go full-on and the only noise you will hear is the rustling of any objects moved by the breeze created by the fan. I would recommend avoiding the gimmicky Hunter models -- think kid's models with painted light bowls -- and look at the higher-end ones. All Hunter fans come with the hardware necessary to hang the fan to a well-secured fan or service metal box; most allow you to decide at install if you want to include the light accessory as well. Flush mount as well as extension mount is included, and once you install one you can install any. You may need to balance the fan blades, and Hunter only gives minimal guidance on how to accomplish that (trial and error). I'd be very interested in a solid method for balancing the ceiling fan blades. I know helicopter blade balances are done during operation with ball bearings, but I don't think we have that option here. -C linkanswered Aug 10 '11 at 07:54 Christopher |
I also have had 2 hunter ceiling fans over the years and have been impressed with how quiet they are. I too would stick with the better quality models. I bought my first hunter 20 years ago when I lived in Houston and the other 3 years ago. Big difference but still quiet. linkanswered Aug 12 '11 at 13:50 kevy |
My house has 5 Casablanca fans. They have operated silently and reliably for 20 years. Casablanca is the only brand I have owned and I don't have a reason to change that. linkanswered Oct 16 '11 at 09:55 |
Ditto on Casablanca....have used several brands and they are the quietest fans I've experienced. Expensive but worth it. linkanswered Oct 17 '11 at 07:29 mrgripe |
Hunter fans from 20 years ago may have been ok then but they are junk now. I bought 3 Hunters for various rooms. Various sizes, wired correctly, no dimmer switches and run by a wall switch. All 3 fans provide this electrical hum loud enough to compete with normal daytime house noise and always can be heard as a hum in a quiet home. They are junk and now use junk for motor components. linkanswered Dec 21 '13 at 09:58 |

Patrick Henry
- Born May 29, 1736 in Hanover County, Virginia
- Protested British tyranny
- Symbol of American struggle for liberty
- Served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress
- Five-term governor of Virginia
- Delivered the famous "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech. Listen to the speech.
- Died June 6, 1799 at Red Hill Plantation, Virginia
Early Years
Patrick Henry was born in Hanover County, Virginia in 1736, to John and Sarah Winston Henry. A symbol of America's struggle for liberty and self-government, Patrick Henry was a lawyer, patriot, orator, and willing participant in virtually every aspect of the founding of America. He was twice married, to Sarah Shelton, and to Dorothea Dandridge.
John Henry educated young Patrick at home, including teaching him to read Latin, but Patrick studied law on his own. In 1760, he appeared in Williamsburg to take his attorney's examination before Robert Carter Nicholas, Edmund Pendleton, John and Peyton Randolph, and George Wythe, and from that day forward, Patrick Henry's story is inseparable from the stream of Virginia history.
Powerful words resonated
In 1763, arguing the famed Parson's Cause in Hanover County, Patrick Henry proclaimed that a king who would veto a good and necessary law made by a locally elected representative body was not a father to his people but "a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects." Henry amplified his idea to the point of treason in defending his resolutions against the Stamp Act in the House of Burgesses May 30, 1765.
Carried away by the fervor of his own argument, the plainly dressed burgess from Louisa County exclaimed that "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, and George the Third..." At this point, cries of treason rose from all sides, but with hardly a pause, Henry neatly "baffled the charge vociferated" and won the burgesses for his cause. Five of his resolutions approved, the new leader in Virginia politics saddled his lean horse and took the westward road out of Williamsburg. (After his departure, one of the resolutions was overturned.) Henceforth, Patrick Henry was a leader in every protest against British tyranny and in every movement for colonial rights.
Strong believer in citizens' right to bear arms
In March 1775, Patrick Henry urged his fellow Virginians to arm in self-defense, closing his appeal (uttered at St. John's Church in Richmond, where the legislature was meeting) with the immortal words: "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."
Actions marked the beginning of revolution in Virginia
Henry's call to arms was carried over the protests of more conservative patriots and was one of the causes of the order for Lord Dunmore, the royal governor, to remove some gunpowder from the Magazine. Henry, "a Quaker in religion but the very devil in politics," mobilized the militia to force restitution of the powder. Since Henry's action followed the British march on Concord by only a few hours, it is said to mark the beginning of the American Revolution in Virginia.
Served in public office for nearly 30 years
Henry served in the Virginia House of Burgesses; he was a member of the Virginia committee of Correspondence, a delegate to the Virginia Convention, and a delegate to the Virginia Constitution Ratification Convention. He played a prominent role in the May 6, 1776, convention and became the first governor of the commonwealth under its new constitution. Patrick Henry served five terms as governor of Virginia. He died in 1799 at his home on Red Hill Plantation.
"Give me liberty..." Speech
Richard Schumann interprets the character of Patrick Henry for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Listen as he re-creates Patrick Henry's powerful words spoken March 23, 1775 at St. John's Henrico Parish Church in Richmond.

Sette ST-27 Hollowtech II Bottom Bracket Tool
The Sette ST-27BB Hollowtech II BB Wrench is designed to remove and install Shimano Hollowtech II bottom brackets. The ST-27BB is made of laser cut chromoly steel for a precise and durable fit and it will securely engage the 16 notches of the Hollowtech II bottom bracket cups. The ST-27BB also has a durable non-slip handle to give you the best grip when applying high amounts of torque.
The ST-27BB is packaged with the ST-27 Star Shaped Hollowtech II Tool which is designed for use during the installation of Shimano Hollowtech II crank arms by engaging the 8 internal splines of the crank arm preload adjustment cap. The ST-27 is made of durable nylon and care should be taken to when using it to ensure that the splines are not broken by over torquing the tool. When both tools are used together they work on Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. The ST-27BB wrench can be used by itself on Race Face and other brands of external BB cup style cranksets to install/remove the cups.
Been using this tool for awhile now without any issues. You can't beat the price!
Works great with Hollowtech style BBs.
Helpful tool to remove and install my BB.
I am a perfectionist and love to keep all parts on my bike running smothly at all times! The Sette Bottom Bracket Tool is nice & sturdy... it fits snugly and makes removing your bracket a breeze! I've used it numerous times...
a quality must have tool for any DIYer..
I thought it is gonna be some made in china cheap stuff, turns out it is super heavy duty.
Bottom bracket tool worked great on my XT bottom bracket. Good fit and no issues a must have if you have Shimano cranks.
Great tool, works perfectly for my lefty shock.
fit nice and tight on the bottom bracket with no slop. rubber grip is nice and firm but not hard plastic. I used the grip part as a buffer between something i needed to hit with a hammer and it didnt make a mark on the part nor was the grip damaged
Very good tool same as park tool
This tool alone has saved me hundreds of $'s in changing out bottom brackets.
I have one of these and have to say it makes removing my own crankset to put a new BB in VERY easy! This is a must for any biker that wants to save money on high $60/hr bike shop fees to install their higher priced BB that you can get at Pricepoint cheaper! So easy to use. Heavy sturdy metal, grippy and a nice soft rubber handle to easily grip it with to remove your BB whenever you want! Has a small hole to hang it on your shop wall with a nail to keep it ready and convenient to get at a moment's notice! LOVE this tool! Makes changing the BB out a snap!
The sette tools are a great value. I used this tool to remove a mega exoBB to put on another bike. Worked great.

Things to Know about Financial Aid
Glossary of Terms
- Financial aid: funds available to college students to pay for their educational costs, in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.
- Loan: funds borrowed at low interest rates for college costs. Loans must be repaid.
- Grant: a form of need-based aid that does not have to be repaid.
- Scholarship: aid based on academic achievement or special talents that does not have to be repaid.
- Comprehensive fee: the total cost of tuition, room and board, and student fees.
- Federal Work-study: need-based work award. Campus Employment and Grinnell Work-Study are institutionally funded work.
- Need analysis: the review process used to determine your estimated family contribution.
- Estimated family contribution: the estimate of what you and your family will be responsible for contributing toward the cost of your education for a single academic year.
- Financial need: the difference between your estimated family contribution and the estimated cost of education.
- Verification: the process of confirming information provided on the FAFSA.
In 2013-2014, Grinnell awarded approximately $54.5 million in scholarships, grants, work and loans; $48.4 million of that was gift aid. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, our net student revenues cover slightly less than 37 percent of the total educational costs. Endowment income, alumni gifts, and private philanthropy make up more than 63 percent. Even students paying the full comprehensive fee are being subsidized 20 percent to cover the full cost of the education, thereby providing a hidden scholarship for every admitted student.
Most financial aid is awarded on the basis of need; however, need is not considered when determining your eligibility for admission to Grinnell. Awards are generally mailed at the time of the admission decision. The college requires admittance before an award is offered. Financial aid is awarded on an annual basis and may be adjusted in subsequent years if the family's financial situation or number in college changes.
Family Share of Expenses
The student and parents are responsible for paying college costs. The college expects that parents will assist paying the cost to the greatest extent their income and assets will permit. The student is also expected to share in the cost of education through working, borrowing, and savings. Grinnell encourages each student where practical, to seek aid from the community, regional, and national organizations.
All students applying for need-based aid are expected to apply for the Federal Pell Grant by completing the FASFA. The FASFA is also where parental contribution from income and assets is determined. Parent contribution is determined by first deducting non-discretionary expenses such as federal, state, and local taxes, social security payments, medical and other extraordinary expenses and a basic cost of living from income and assets. With the remaining funds the parents are then expected to contribute a portion toward educational expenses. Students are also expected to apply for state grants and scholarships that may be used at Grinnell.
A portion of the family's contribution is the responsibility of the student. Grinnell expects the student to contribute from income (summer employment, currently $2500), savings, and any other resources that may be available. Each year as applicable, 20 percent of the student's savings, stocks, bonds and other assets are expected to be used to assist in defraying the cost of attendance.
For institutional financial aid (which differs from federal assistance) we require the CSS Profile. Consequently, it is likely the family's need for federal aid will differ from their need for Grinnell aid. Grinnell presupposes that both parents are primarily responsible for the students educational expenses, including the ongoing responsibility to house and feed the student to whatever extent possible. Divorce or separation of the natural parents does not release either parent from this obligation. Grinnell cannot require parents to contribute the amount determined, but neither will Grinnell use its student aid resources to compensate for any part of the calculated amount that parents choose not to provide.
What if My Parents Refuse to Pay for My College Cost?
If a parent(s) refuses to pay, a serious problem may exist. To be fair to all of our students, we can only base our decisions of financial aid on the ABILITY and not WILLINGNESS of parents to pay, and a decision to enroll at Grinnell must be made by you and your parents.
Limiting Student Debt
- Grinnell College meets 100 percent of demonstrated institutional need for all admitted domestic students. Institutional need is calculated using the CSS Profile, the 568 President's Group Consensus Methodology, and a Non-custodial Parent Profile if applicable. Grinnell is moving to meet the full demonstrated need of select international students, who historically were eligible to receive an aid package covering up to 85 percent of their need.
- Grinnell awards merit aid to top admitted students.
- As part of the culture of alumni support, Grinnell also raises specific funds from alumni to reduce, at the time of graduation, the indebtedness of seniors who have demonstrated a solid work ethic both academically and co-curricularly. For the 2013 graduating class, $180,000 was awarded in loan reduction scholarships.
- The average indebtedness for the Class of 2013 after loan reduction scholarships are awarded is $12,677 for need-based loans and $16,570 for all types of student loans.
- Grinnell limits the amount of loan used to meet a student's institutionally determined need. Need-based grants and work-study (up to a maximum of $2,200) make up the remainder of the packages, which meet the full demonstrated institutional need of all admitted students. Grinnell remains committed to a need-based loan cap, but does reserve the right to make modest annual increases due to increasing costs and economic conditions. Institutional need for new students entering in the Fall of 2013 will be fully met with a maximum of $3,500 in loan for year 1, $4,500 for year 2, $5,500 for year 3, and $5,500 for year 4, a total need-based loan expectation of $19,000.
- If you are receiving need-based assistance, outside scholarships will first reduce need-based work-study, need-based student loan, and any remaining unmet Federal need.
Change of Circumstances
The Financial Aid Office recognizes a family's economic situation may change for a variety of reasons from one year to the next. We suggest you notify us in writing of changes in financial circumstances resulting from one or more of the following conditions:
- Loss of employment or significant reduction in income or benefits
- Unusually high medical expenses not covered by insurance
- Disability
- Other unusual circumstances or expenses
The family will be required to document their circumstance by completing our "Request for Reconsideration" form. Each subsequent year a particular special circumstance persists, the family will be asked to submit documentation.
International students: a change in the number of household members in college does not constitute a special circumstance. This should be taken into account on the initial application and planned for accordingly.
Continued Eligibility
Annual renewal of financial aid is continuous if institutional financial need remains, all required documents are completed by our published deadline, and satisfactory academic progress is maintained, consistent with Grinnell College policy.
Terms & Conditions
Requirements for Crediting Financial Aid to a Student's Account:
- Please note that you must sign all documents. A parent cannot sign for you.
- Estimated financial aid will appear as a credit on your student account for the purpose of sending semester bills in June and November.

- First-time Direct Loan and Perkins Loan borrowers are required to receive entrance loan counseling. Counseling may be completed at www.studentloans.gov .
- All financial aid is subject to revision depending upon fund availability, changes in the family contribution, and/or credit load. Your award may be affected if you withdraw from Grinnell College or reduce your credit load to less than full-time status.
- In the event that available state funds are insufficient to pay the full amount of each approved grant, the Iowa College Student Aid Commission has the authority to administratively reduce the award.
- You must maintain satisfactory academic progress according to standards prescribed by Grinnell College.
Withholding Aid
Students will be notified by the Grinnell College Office of Student Financial Aid if their federal financial aid will be withheld. Reasons for withholding aid include:
- default on Federal Perkins Loan or Federal Family Educational Loan;
- repayment owed on any previous financial aid;
- male who has reached his eighteenth birthday, but has not registered with Selective Service;
- documentation of citizenship;
- any other circumstance that precludes aid from being finalized.
Reporting Additional Resources
If you receive additional resources, such as outside scholarships or tuition benefits, not listed on the award notification, you must contact the Office of Student Financial Aid immediately. Your award may need to be adjusted. It is your obligation to report any income and/or financial assistance not previously reported on your application.
How You Actually Receive Your Financial Aid

Jan. 15, 1918 Dear Theron: Received your letter of Jan. 6 yesterday and so far have received two cigar boxes, soap, etc., and coca. Thanks a lot. Think probably the two large boxes were held at Paris. At present we are out of the line of souvenirs but expect to move in a few days, but as always don't know the direction some say Germany and others Langy sur Ourcq near Paris. I wrote Hdgs asking for a discharge. It was returned so expect to go back to U.S. with the outfit. We now have our emblems which we wear on out left shoulder. It is for the ambulance men with the French army. Am enclosing a newspaper copy- have a copy of my second citation for the last attack. It says that I made two good cars out of three cars which had been blown up by shell fire and by then able to take care of all the wounded. This was done by St E. A. L. under the heaviest bombardment across the bridge head at Voncq, Oct. 4, 1918. Hale has painted by picture in oil and it's a bear. Expect to send it to U.S. by Amer. Exp Co. at first opportunity. Think I wrote about the 79th Amer. Artillery passing though our town but didn't see Kelly. We haven't been getting any mail from U.S. at all lately. Can't understand why. Write soon gain. As Ever, Ted FROM: Sgt EA Littlefield SSU 642 Par Ben TO: Sgt. Theron R. Littlefield 28 Co.-20 Engineers Fst. AE F France.
