Pelto: Legalize Pot—To Ease Up On Citydwellers

Posted to: Politics, State
Decriminalizing pot may have made criminal-justice matters worse in cities like New Haven, so why not just legalize it?
That suggestion comes from a candidate for governor, Jonathan Pelto. He argued that Connecticut should follow Colorado and Washington and allow people to purchase and use marijuana.
Pelto made the argument the other day over a bottle of Pellegrino during an interview at Woodland Cafe in Sherman Alley, one in a series of discussions with candidates about urban issues in this campaign year.
Pot legalization turns out to be very much an urban issue, as cast by Pelto, who's racing to collect enough petition signatures by Wednesday to earn an independent spot on the November ballot. (Click on the above video to watch him respond to the charge that he's playing a Ralph Nader-like spoiler role that could cost Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to lose the election to a Republican.) In cities, unlike in suburbs, what should be a mere $150 ticket for possessing a small amount of weed too often turns into an arrest on charges of "intent to sell," Pelto argued.
"Decriminalization is a small step. It might actually be a step in the wrong direction," Pelto said. "If we're going to do it, then let's do it the right way."
In the interview, Pelto staked positions generally to the left of the ideological spectrum—and, with the exception of some development and possibly school-reform initiatives, generally in line with New Haven's liberal political culture. For instance:
• He called for fully funding the Payments in Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) program, which reimburses cities like New Haven for revenue lost on tax-exempt properties like hospitals and universities. He would phase in the 100 percent reimbursement over 10 years. Malloy and Republican gubernatorial candidate John McKinney said they're open to discussing New Haven state Sen. Martin Looney's bill to guarantee 50 percent reimbursement to cities like New Haven with the most tax-exempt property. Independent Joe Visconti called for abolishing PILOT. The PILOT law authorizes the legislature to send 77 percent of lost revenue back to cities and towns. In practice, it has been sending back only 33 percent of the money lost on hospitals and colleges, 22 percent lost on state-owned property. That's one reason New Haven struggles each year to avoid tax increases without also slashing public services.
• Pelto called for raising income taxes on the wealthy—specifically hiking the rate from 6.7 percent to 8.7 percent on earnings over $1 million a year. He estimated that would raise an additional $800 million a year for state coffers; he also argued that had Malloy done that in 2011, instead of raising taxes on all earners except millionaires, none of the state's current $1.4 billion deficit would have materialized. The other candidates do not support hiking taxes on the wealthy. Visconti called for raising corporate taxes on the largest companies as a last resort; McKinney released a plan last week to eliminate income taxes on households earning less than $75,000.
• In addition to supporting the vote this year to raise the hourly minimum wage to $10.10 by 2017, Pelto said he'd push for a further increase to between $14 and $16. McKinney and Visconti opposed the raise to $10.10, which Malloy championed.
On two New Haven development projects Malloy has embraced this election year, Pelto said he needed to learn more before taking a position. He wasn't familiar with the plan to rebuild the Dixwell Commuity "Q" House, for which Malloy has ponied up $1 million in planning funds and is expected to deliver another $15 million before Election Day. He took a skeptical stance on the request to spend $20 million in state bucks, which Malloy is also expected to deliver by election day, on street improvements to enable a developer to turn the old New Haven Coliseum site into a $395 million busy new-urbanist mini-city of apartments, stores, offices, a hotel and a public plaza.
Pelto said he generally opposes Malloy's "corporate welfare" measures. For instance, he said, he would not have approved the $51 million state aid package Malloy put together to enable Alexion Pharmaceuticals to move from Cheshire to a new 11-story building in New Haven as part of the governor's "First Five" jobs program, which Malloy touts as a job-protector and creator. Pelto argued that the First Five program doesn't create jobs, but rather shovels public money to companies that would stay here anyway. The Alexion deal merely "moved jobs from Cheshire to New Haven," he said. He said the First Five program has had "no accountability," no rigorous cost-benefit analysis.
"It's not the job of taxpayers to pick winners and losers in the private sector," Pelto argued. He pointed to state aid for Pfizer's New London development, which the company abandoned after 10 years.
Unintentional Weed Consequences
On marijuana, Pelto emphasized what he called a racial disparity in enforcement of current law. The state decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana on July 1, 2011; rather than get arrested, people cited for possessing cannabis can be fined $150 for the first offense and between $200 and $500 for the second. Often cops just look the other way. In New Haven, decriminalization prompted a collective "What took so long?" shrug.
Since then, Pelto said, decriminalization has had a disproportionate "racial and economic impact."
"Suburban kids are being treated very differently from urban kids," he said. "... In suburban areas they're just slapped on the wrist."
By contrast, Pelto said, people stopped in cities for possessing small amounts of marijuana are more likely to end up arrested on charges of intent to sell, leaving them with criminal convictions that make it harder for them to get jobs.
"The solution is to go ahead and legalize small amounts of marijuana" and have the criminal-justice system "deal with the more important drugs" that people need help staying away from, Pelto argued. He didn't take a stand on how specifically to roll out a system to regulate the sale of marijuana. "We're learning from Colorado. Connecticut will have the benefit of seeing how it's done," he said.

... and here to watch Visconti. Foley spokesman Chris Cooper said the candidate does not support legalization. A Malloy spokesman failed to respond to requests Sunday for comment.
New Haven state Rep. Roland Lemar said he, too, supports legalizing marijuana ("though I think it should be a regulated product similar to alcohol or tobacco"). He said he hasn't heard complaints from constituents about the abuses Pelto cited. He disagreed that decriminalization has made life worse for blacks and Latinos.
"Do I believe it is possible that some cops and prosecutors might try to ramp up some charges against a few folks? Yes, I believe that is possible, (though no one has actually ever contacted me to say that has happened) and we should be vigilant in protecting against that type of law enforcement abuse," Lemar stated in an email.
"But what was happening before was far worse—countless numbers of people (overwhelmingly African-American or Latino) were being arrested for truly trivial crimes that had no impact on anyone. Thousands of our residents had been arrested, sometimes prosecuted, for possession of literally one marijuana cigarette. Those arrests and prosecutions would be used against them in future judicial proceedings, employment screenings, and more. What a colossal waste of taxpayer resources while being a lifelong black mark on someone's record for a crime with no societal cost."
State ACLU Executive Director Andrew Schneider, whose group supports legalization, also said he hasn't "seen evidence that decriminalization has caused police to pursue intent-to-sell charges more aggressively, but if that were happening it would almost certainly have a greater impact on minorities because drug laws have always been enforced more harshly in minority communities. If that's happening, it's a very unwelcome pattern and we'd be greatly concerned about it."
Charter Foe
Pelto (pictured), a former political insider, has made his name in this campaign as not just a potential anti-Malloy spoiler, but a Jeremiah prophesying agains the evils of charter-school oriented school reform. That has made him a critic of recent school developments in New Haven, and a skeptic of the city's grand school-reform efforts in general.
Pelto, who's 53, was first elected to the state House of Representatives in 1984. He rose to the position of deputy political director of the state party. He left office a decade later to become a political consultant. In the past couple of years he has carved out a career as a blistering anti-charter-school blogger and coach of other education bloggers. He has savaged Malloy's school-reform efforts—like his attempt to end teacher tenure—as well as the governor's continued embrace of charter schools and the Common Core curriculum.
A working ally of national charter critic Diane Ravitch, Pelto called the latter two examples of the "privatization" and "corporatization" of public schools to use high-stakes testing to funnel tax dollars to charters that cream students and leave more expensive special-ed and non-English-speaking students behind for traditional public schools. (The charters deny that charge.)
"You create a system in which there will be an unlimited number of 'failing' schools" with charters seen as the remedy, Pelto said.
His alternative includes investing more in dual-language and required unionization, certification of teachers, and acceptance of special-ed students in any nontraditional schools.
Most immediately for New Haven, Pelto said he would have turned down the application by a Dixwell church to open a charter school called Booker T. Washington Academy. The state granted the charter. Then the church's partner, called FUSE, got caught up in a scandal and dropped out; the state Board of Education planned to meet Monday to consider a last-minute revised application to allow the school to open this month as planned with a new partner.
He called the last-minute effort to approve a new proposal an example of the lack of accountability in the charter process. "There was a process. They were chosen because FUSE was their partner," he said. "These no-bid contracts and expedited review processes are a bad idea."
More broadly, Pelto argued that New Haven's charters have "contaminated" the city's school-reform drive, which has been praised nationally (including by teachers union President Randi Weingarten) for avoiding the ideological pitfalls of more charter-centered and standardized-testing drives in other cities. New Haven has experimented with a wide range of models for failing schools, from a teacher-union-run school to a charter-managed school to "turnarounds" in which principals can choose their own teachers and change some rules such as the length of the school day.
"Because you had the charter schools playing such a dominant role, I'm not sure it is the testing ground it could have been if they had done it within the public-school system," he said.
Pelto said he didn't object to New Haven experimenting with having a charter company manage one school, Clemente Leadership Academy; the city did not renew the contract in that experiment. "It was worth trying. It didn't work," he said.
Instead, he called the relationship between the Board of Education and the charters too close—because New Haven's mayor sits on both the Achievement First charter board as well as the traditional Board of Ed; and because a charter champion, Alex Johnston, sits on the Board of Ed. (He's pictured with Mayor Toni Harp at a school board meeting.) The mayor started sitting on the Achievement First board, and Johnston ton the Board of Ed, under former Mayor John DeStefano as part of an agreement to have the city share ideas with the charters rather than continue fighting with them.
He also criticized a principal training program run for the city schools by Achievement First. He argued that one University of Connecticut or Southern Connecticut State University should have run the program.
Nor did Pelto applaud New Haven's method of evaluating teachers, which the teachers union helped devise. Failing teachers are given extra support to try to improve; then, if they continue to rank low according to a panel of observers chosen by both administrators and the union, the system fires them. The teachers union has not yet challenged any of those firings. Pelto said rank-and-file teachers still oppose the process because it relies in part on standardized test scores and because administrators, who can play favorites, need more training in how to do evaluations.

The political differences between Foley and Malloy are tremendous.
If you lean left, but decide to lodge a protest vote against Malloy and for Pelto, please be honest and realize you're helping to elect Tom Foley, a Bush crony who is rabidly anti-union.
Had Pelto waged his protest campaign as a Democratic primary, I maybe would have voted for him, as there are real criticisms against Malloy. Instead what Pelto doing is nothing but the act of an egotistical ass, and you almost wonder if he isn't getting paid by the GOP.
Finally, it is worth noting that Governor Malloy should move left if re-elected, as he still has further political aspirations.

The only one who profits from Decriminalizing pot are the crooked Hedge funders.

Malloy needs to come out in support of cannabis legalization or he will lose this election.

I disagree with Pelto that decriminalizing marijuana does more harm than good. Making possession a misdemeanor will keep many young people out of our crowded prison system and allow them to possibly build a life. As far as legalization, Lemar has it right; it should be regulated for adults like alcohol.
I disagree with ALL candidates on PILOT. The state constitution from the early 1800s granted what we now know as non-profit status to institutions like hospitals and universities with the reasoning that they are for the greater common good of society. The legislators of that era could not have contemplated the mid-20th century legislature abolishing county government and associated taxation, nor could they have contemplated the collapse of most other industries and the rise to prominence and land ownership of tax free institutions. If non-profits are for the greater good, the state should eliminate the PILOT concept and directly reimburse non-profits for their tax burden (which should rightly be paid to localities.)

You say a vote for Pelto is a vote for foley.I
say,Those who vote for Democrats or Republicans perpetuate the corrupt, dishonest and elitist plutocracy that preferentially serves the interests of the Upper Class and a multitude of special interests.The problem is the donkey and the elephant symbols of the two dominant political parties are tied at the hip.Both Republican party and Democratic party are the same.We need to untie the donkey and the elephant and put them out to Pasture.Both of them are rotten to the core.
My Bad If everyone voted for Pelto,Then you would not have to worry about Foley and Malloy.

Your vote cholices re pot gives no one an opportunity to support continued criminalization with or without allowances for needed medical; treatments
Kind of biased isn't it?

I am Pro legalization. It should never of been made illegal; but the greed of the rich made this happen for so many reasons.
I am not in favor of taxing it…but I think that it is the only way it will be made legal is if money is to be made.
I think JP has the right idea on the pilot. Not sure how doable it is. But we all want it to be 100%
AS - I am still voting for Pelto. I think he stands a really good chance. He is the better candidate for the people. Beside what you are saying is don't vote for the guy you want because the guy you hate will win…and better to have the guy you hate less in office? hmmm I know Malloy will win. But I can not vote for these people anymore…the party is OUT OF CONTROL.
posted by: Anderson Scooper on August 5, 2014 4:08pm
@Cedarhill—yes, I am suggesting that you don't waste your vote on Pelto, and that you hold your nose and vote for Malloy, (who will lose if too many people share your political math.)
This isn't a primary, and it's not a beauty contest. It's a vote for who will be Governor of Connecticut until January 2019,—and it's going to be close. If it weren't going to be close, or if the stakes weren't so high, by all means you shouldn't hesitate to vote for your favorite. But this has all the makings of Florida 2000, and I don't think you should mess around with Pelto.

AS - I am a dem…but I have watched my party (mostly locally) stomp on, use, lie to the people. The worst thing I have witnessed repeatedly is the FEAR TACTICS they use to stop people from voting for the better candidate. I have seen some things within our party that made me ill. I have lost respect for the New Haven Dem party that voting party lines is out the window for me. We have had some great candidates pushed out the door by our party for all the wrong reasons and we as a city lost because of it. So I have decided NO MORE. I have to vote for who I feel will be the better candidate that will represent me.
That is me. Your shtick will work on many. I am to jaded at this point. I vote for the better candidate. I think Johnathan is that.

There will always be dummies who will want to do drugs. I think we should take the cash flow away from the cartels, and free up some of the justice system, as national and state policies. The government should get into the business of growing, harvesting, and producing drugs, with professional standards, right down to the packaging, for sale in a safe environment, with the governments collecting the entire cash flow. The drugs should be decriminalized to the extent that it's legal to buy it, and to have it on your person, so long as it was purchased at a government store. I would not liberalize the legal use of drugs. All current standards of sobriety and keeping it out of the hands of minors would remain. After all, we lost the war on drugs 40 years ago.

It is hard to believe that Mr. Pelto has strong convictions on any issue that would benefit the citizens of Connecticut. The man has openly stated the only reason he has involved himself in this run for Governor is to spite the Governor, who did not award him a patronage post, with a six figure salary paid by the taxpayers, for his efforts in the Governor's last campaign. Now he is running for a post he really does not want, funded by the Foley campaign, to assist Foley's attempt to acquire the Governor's office (which he intends to exploit to the benefit of his own portfolio, and the estates of all his millionaire friends.) This guy has the character of a snail (sorry even a snail has more character, and does more public good than this phony will), and could give "two sh**ts" about the public good!

Two wolves and a sheep between them. No matter how much you vote and choose both parties have only one thing in mind, how they can advance their own power and exploit you.
posted by: robn on August 6, 2014 7:57am
These are big statements. Can you link us to your source of the issues you mentioned?
1) Where did Pelto state that he's running against Malloy because Malloy didn't hire him?
2) Where is there evidence that the Foley campaign is funding Pelto?
posted by: robn on August 6, 2014 8:07am
Pelto's contrarian stance is appealing but there's a logical flaw in what he said in the video. He said something like Democrats losing the governors race would be a wake up call and make them come back to ignored constituents like public employees and property tax payers.
In my opinion, the wants of these two constituencies are in opposition. You can't increase the already large payroll of public employees and at the same time reduce the highest-in-nation property tax burden faced by property owners.

Brewed this on Saturday, 5 gals. The only thing I changed is the flaked oats to .5 lbs. The aroma smells great when brewing. Sitting at 63F and hit my numbers. Will see how it matches up to the Milk Oatmeal Stout which so far is about the best Stout I ever tasted and brewed.
Putting ingredients together today. What do you folks think of using 7 lbs of Marris Otter instead of regular 2-Row. Just got my bulk grain supplies and I am ready to go on a brewing spree Can't wait to get this one under flame. Sheldon
Hi, So I was at my local suppliers on the way from a memorial service to a baby shower. I didn't have any recipe, but had in mind to make an Edmund Fitzgerald. Couldn't find the recipe at the shop. A person behind me says to make Left Handed Milk Stout. He's making a partial mash(?) but will give my supplier a whole grain recipe on his phone. He did and said it would be no problem to look up this recipe on-line. I looked it up and thought it was this one. Turns out it wasn't. It was this one: Left Hand Milk Stout Clone Sweet Stout Type: All Grain Date: 6/28/2008 Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 7.08 gal Boil Time: 60 min Taste Rating(out of 50): 35.0 Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.00 Taste Notes: Ingredients Amount Item Type % or IBU 7.50 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 61.22 % 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 8.16 % 1.00 lb Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 8.16 % 1.00 lb Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) Grain 8.16 % 0.75 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 6.12 % 0.50 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) Grain 4.08 % 0.50 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 4.08 % 1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [4.00 %] (60 min) Hops 18.7 IBU 1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [4.00 %] (10 min) Hops 4.5 IBU 17.60 oz Lactose (Boil 15.0 min) Misc Beer Profile Est Original Gravity: 1.059 SG Measured Original Gravity: 1.010 SG Est Final Gravity: 1.014 SG Measured Final Gravity: 1.005 SG Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.88 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 0.65 % Bitterness: 23.3 IBU Calories: 43 cal/pint Est Color: 39.7 SRM Color: So I basically followed half the homebrew recipe and half his. I'm not sure the 1/5 ounces of Goldings for bittering made sense - he sent me the recipe after I was done brewing. I went out again and got some Magnum at a dicey supplier/package store that was closer to my house. He took the pellet hops from an open 1# package. I used the 1# Lactose. I threw in a whole pound of flaked barley. I'm not sure what difference this will make. Like others, I'm a bit surprised at the amount of roasted barley. I could taste that in the wort. Other than that it tasted pretty good. I dumped the wort on top of some yeast from my previous batch that I kegged the same day. Anyway, a lot of these recipes seem similar. If I used Northern brewer and Willamette hops, I wouldn't have had to buy any hops as I had Northern brewer in my freezer and I grow Willamette. i think it will be a good stout.
Oh, my OSG was 1.073 - perhaps a little higher as I didn't adjust for temp. Seems others got this OSG or close. I also used some major water adjustments based on the SRM and the EZ Water Adjustment Spreadsheet.
Done and kegged. Great beer has a good coffee taste to it. On the top 10 list for me.
Going to brew this beer sometime in the next week or so. Any thoughts on using White Labs English Ale WLP002? I've got some in the fridge that I washed a while back and would like to use it soon. If not I'll wait a couple of weeks and toss it on a US05 yeast cake that is currently fermenting Ed's Stone IPA clone.
I used us05 and it came out great. 1056 if u want it a little less dry.
Well this turned out great. Brewed on 4/15 and have it a bottle for 5 weeks. Tastes great. The mint additional I did is nice a mellow in the background of this beer. I had one at 2 weeks and it was horrible. This improved greatly with age. I will try and buy a LFMS soon so I can do a comparison and see how much the mint changed this beer.

Chris would probably be the guy to answer this but, I'll let you all of you other folks eavesdrop in on the conversation.
Are the Rohrbaugh grips perfectly flat on the flip side ~ AKA the internal face? Or are they inset into the pistol frame?
How thick are the grips at their thickest?
If you were to draw an exact square or rectangle around the grip panel...what would those dimensions be. AKA How high & how wide are they?
As I think I mentioned I'll likely be buying a Rohrbaugh as my next firearm purchase. Unless something else catastrophically expensive breaks in this nightmare of a monster home of mine.
Anyway...The reason I'm asking is that I want to cut some ivory slabs in order to make a set of ivories for my new pistol...that I don't have yet.
The actual reason being that I've got to cut the ivory a couple of months in advance...so that the slabs can "Stress Relieve" themselves before I make them perfectly flat...so that critical info will be extremely helpful.
BTW: ~ This is not an emergency request.
An answer any time within the next couple of weeks would be great.

Perfect Programs
Watercolor Ombre Tea-length Tri-fold Programs I could not have asked for a better wedding program. These were so beautiful and matched the theme of my day exactly how I wanted. I took the colors of my bridesmaids dresses and was able to find the exact matching hue on the convenient customization website here on MagnetStreet. I ordered them about one week before my wedding and they still arrived with plenty of time to spare. Thanks for another awesome job, MagnetStreet! :)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The font/format and layout of the card was simple and classic. The color and image were clear, and the paper quality was thick cardstock so the sharpies I wrote with didn't bleed through or show through the front. It turned out better than I expected."
"This card was perfect for us and our beach wedding. We had a darker picture than the one in the example, but the different color options allowed us to pick one that would still show the text. I liked the way they slightly edited our message on the back of the card, it did look and sound better. Customer service was great, they helped make our picture look its best. The paper quality is nice, good thickness. I am so happy to share these with our loved ones."
"I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was so thrilled with the outcome! The price and quality are exactly what I was looking for!"
"We wanted to alter the color and text of the standard design. Wedding paper divas were helpful, responsive, and produced a wonderful save the date. It was better than we had even hoped for. I highly recommend their service"
"This Save the Date turned out great! The photo quality was awesome, and Wedding Card Divas had my order to me 4 days before my expected delivery date!"

When a friend told Traci Carnes Watterson about the need for an executive director at the Lancaster affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, she was immediately interested.
Watterson, 34, of Buford, had been working for Bank of America in uptown Charlotte, but had always been interested in community service. So, she applied for the position and, after an interview process and approval by the board, became the executive director on Nov. 1.

The activities kick off 7 p.m. today with a musical celebration at the church at 1001 W. Meeting St. in Lancaster.
A pastor's banquet will be held 6 p.m. Saturday in Fort Mill at Jerusalem Baptist Church, 1003 Steele St.
Tickets for the event are $25 for adults and $10 for children 14 and younger. Supreme Seven, a gospel group from Tallahassee, Fla., will perform that night.
VAN WYCK – Clarence Witherspoon isn't one to sit around.
The Van Wyck resident works for the Budd Co. as a janitor at the Indian Land schools. He's an active, lifelong member of White Oak AME Zion Church, where he serves as chairman of the trustee board, a class leader and president of the usher board. He's also president of the Lancaster District ushers.
HEATH SPRINGS – A Heath Springs man has been charged almost a year after he threatened to kill a Lancaster County sheriff's deputy and his family.
Arkevus Jimon Cauthen, 21, of 201 Reeves St., Heath Springs, has been charged with malicious injury to property and threatening the life of a person or family of a public official, teacher or principal, a felony.
A 60-year-old man died Tuesday night after a fire broke out at his East Dunlap Street home.
Lucious Waters was killed inside his home at 503 E. Dunlap St. some time after 8 p.m. Tuesday night. Neighbors across the street called the fire department around 8:20 p.m. and the Lancaster Fire Department responded about three minutes later.
Lancaster County Fire Department Chief Chris Nunnery said the fire most likely started in Waters' bedroom and spread from there.
Most homeowners add a few features to personalize their yards and make them just a little different. Count Robert and Glenda Mungo among them.
So much so that their yard at 1651 Craig Farm Road caught the eye of Penny Bailey. Bailey represents the Green Gardeners on the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs selection committee, which chooses the Yard of the Month.
The committee chose the Mungos' yard as Yard of the Month for November.
INDIAN LAND – Indian Land High School senior softball player Alyssa Hartley has built a reputation as a tireless worker in her career on the diamond.
That work ethic paid a major dividend Monday afternoon when Hartley signed a softball scholarship to play at Lander University in the Indian Land High School media center.
"Alyssa drew a lot of attention over the summer from college scouts watching our games," said Marci Turso of the Charlotte Cobras' summer softball team which included Hartley. "Alyssa is the heart and soul of our team.

Chester led 58-35 after three periods.

Ipad or Ipad mini (or something else?.

Posted May 24, 2013 at 11:51AM
Although I will wander up to John lewis to have a hands on look at both I was wondering if anyone has any views on the merits of either?
I have had an Ipad 2 in the past, cannot remember why I got rid of it so really am looking for views on the mini. Will be used for nothing more than browsing,playing the odd game and a bit of office work (Pages).
Of course major concern is the price, Ipad 4 16GB Wi-Fi £399, Ipad mini 16Gb £269 which is a massive £130 of difference.
I wonder what price the Ipad 2 will go for? Maybe wait and see perhaps.
Or perhaps anorther tablet altogether but I also had the nexus 7 when it first came out and I was not overly impressed.

Chronus the 2nd - If its a finance issue, then I don't know if it still applies, but John Lewis use to offer, and still might, free interest charges if you obtained one of their free Partnership store cards. They also use to offer a price-match, but this changed slightly, when they began to offer free extended warranties.
Perhaps worth checking, before making the purchase. Argos also offer 3/6/12 free interest on recent deals.
northumbria61 - Thanks for the information and link, I'll look further into it. At present with the 'cheapo' I purchased its ended up as a "don't have time or inclination" to play around with it device. Perhaps more my (medical) fault than the devices?.

It is not really a finance issue as such except I really cannot justify spending any more than £250-£270 on a tablet.

Chronos the 2nd
I'd my hands on both iPad4 (aka3) & iPad mini & eventually stayed with the iPad mini 16GB .
1.The weight & size. My hands won't get tired & can put it in an overcoat's big inside pocket.
The only thing missing is the HD display which I believe will be on iPad mini2, if you can wait or price difference isn't that much then it's strongly recommended.(you might be put off by the SD display) :)

I was thinking along those lines myself but knowing Apple, they tend, when they add something/anything to a product of theirs they charge a premium for it.

Chronus - "Whatever I decide to buy I am not spending any more than the price of the Ipad mini" - would you be tempted if you could have easy payments with no interest?
Check out QVCuk.com - Hot pick today iPad 16GB with Retina display and extra accessories £579 with 4 easy pay of £144.75 - 30 days to try it out and 4 months to pay for it - well worth a look or even a 2nd look I would say! enter link description here

QVC. Looks an incredibly poor deal, as Apple are selling the same Ipad for £399, the so called extras are just not worth the extra 180 quid.
But that aside apart from a small amount I have on a credit card my days of credit are long gone I would rather pay cash, or rather via my credit card for the extra protection, but then pay off the the amount at the end of the month.

Chronus - Yes, you are right. I wasn't aware that the 16GB model was as cheap as £399 I must have been thinking along the lines of the 32GB with Wi-Fi & Cellular. There are too many combinations these days - and it was early in the day!! I hope you get what you want.

john bunyan - You are right in saying that it all depends on what you want it for. I have a good desktop and I never thought I would have any need for a tablet but I have no regrets buying the Archos which has the added keyboard if required. The 7inch I did think about but the 10inch suited my needs best. It wouldn't do for us all to like the same or even have the same - life would be so dull and we wouldn't have anything to discuss on here. Keeps me going now that I am 21+ !!

I have narrowed it down to either the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 or the Ipad mini. I think that the Galaxy might just have the edge on size.
Maybe it's my old eyes but I also looked at an Ipad with Retina display and I could not see any difference with the Ipad mini's display or the Galaxy's for that matter.

Here is a sample of some of my favorites:
Gov I Can Trust
(Tune: "White Christmas")
I'm dreaming of a gov I can trust
Just like the ones I used to know
One that won't suppress our voters
Tells the truth 'bout General Motors
And won't take all that filthy corporate dough
I'm dreaming of a gov I can trust
I think about it every night
One that can appropriately read and write
'Cause the one we have right now is not too bright
I'm dreaming of a gov I can trust
One that won't create his own stats
Wisconsin lead the nation
In loss in occupations
Like Paul Ryan, Scott made up some phony math
I'm dreaming of a gov I can trust
They don't have to win a Nobel Prize
Just one that's honest, transparent, and wise
Our state deserves someone who won't tell lies
Walker Blunderland II
(Tune: "Winter Wonderland")
Cowbells ring, are you listening,
In the Square, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're active tonight.
Wintering in a Walker Blunderland
Every day we have manners
Every day we wave banners
We'll sing out these songs, all Winter long
Wintering in a Walker Blunderland
In the Rotunda we won't see Dave Erwin,
He's the head of Walker's Palace Guard
We get lots of mail from Mr. Erwin
But for him to show his face is mighty hard
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that they've made,
Wintering in a Walker Blunderland
We'll leave our guitars and fiddles in their cases
And we'll sing a cappella for an hour
They'll see smiles all upon our faces
And know that, through our singing, we have power
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll sing from the floor; like we've done before
Wintering in a Walker Blunderland.
Wintering in a Walker Blunderland.
Winter..Walker…Winter Blunderland
Mr. Grinch
(Tune: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch")
You're a mean one, Mr. Walker
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as
charming as an eel, Mr. Walker,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Walker,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in
your soul, Mr. Walker,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-ahalf foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Walker,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick
crocodile, Mr. Walker,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take
the seasick crocodile!
You're a rotter, Mr. Walker,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with
moldy purple spots, Mr. Walker,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool
sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Walker,
With a nauseous super "naus"!,
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a
crooked hoss, Mr. Walker,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up
in tangled up knots!
You're a foul one, Mr. Walker,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul
is full of gunk, Mr. Walker,
The three words that best describe you are as
follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!
God Bless You Very Wealthy Men
(Tune: "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen")
God bless you very wealthy men, good news I have to tell:
The market's up, you're making more each time you buy and sell.
With layoffs more your profits soar, you're living rather well.
O tidings of capital gains, capital gains, O tidings of capital gains!
God bless you very wealthy men, you never have to see
The people all around you who must live in misery.
You keep the poor far from your door, you know no
O tidings of capital gains, capital gains, O tidings of
capital gains!
God bless you very wealthy men. Whatever comes to
You have no fear that you will be kicked out upon your
I have a feeling that your ceiling is not made of glass.
O tidings of capital gains, capital gains, O tidings of
capital gains!
God bless you very wealthy men, you do repeat this
You owe success to your hard work, no one helped you
You've raised yourself to the top shelf, your bootstraps
must be strong.
O tidings of capital gains, capital gains, O tidings of
capital gains!
God bless you poor and working folks, it's time to take
a stand
For decent wages, health and pensions are our just
It's time to fight; we must unite. Now, won't you lend a
O tidings of a world to be gained, a world to be gained,
O tidings of a world to be gained!

Spatial Analysis Center
The Spatial Analysis Center uses computerized geographic information to track cultural and natural resources, detect trends over time, and model ecological processes. The key to this technology is the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) software. GIS provides a look at Yellowstone's resources through a multi-feature, multi-dimensional view, allowing for analysis of park resources from a completely new perspective. Park managers use the results of the center's analysis to aid decision-making concerning park resources. The center has currently completed a soil survey and a landform layer. Potential future projects include a spatial geothermal inventory and a model of blister rust infestation in whitebark pine.
Yellowstone Park Foundation funding provided GIS software used in the Spatial Analysis Center. The Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to fund projects and programs that protect, preserve and enhance Yellowstone National Park.

Whitney Houston's Funeral To Be Picketed By Westboro Baptist Church
First Posted: 02/16/2012 5:28 pm Updated: 02/16/2012 5:37 pm
The Christian Post is reporting that members of the right-wing Christian group, known for its strong anti-gay stance, are planning to stage a protest at the pop diva's private memorial, set for this weekend in her hometown of Newark, N.J.
The attention whores are at it again...
Butt, as a side note, I love how HuffinNpuffinPost label them as RIGHT WING CHRISTIAN group. Dumbasses.

Cabinet installers use their knowledge of carpentry, trim carpentry (such as fascia, the toe kick, and moldings), and installation techniques to install cabinet. Cabinet installers perform finishing work, so an eye for detail is required. These professionals most frequently work in residential environments, although they sometimes perform commercial work as well. Knowledge of painting and/or staining wood may be useful. Some cabinet installers also install countertops, which come in a variety of materials (such as laminate and solid surface).
Read More...Cabinet Installers who responded to the survey indicated only a few skills that they use on the job. Customer Service and Cabinetry Installation are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Cabinetry Installation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Cabinet Installers, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Relatively untried employees who have fewer than five years of experience earn around $32K on average. People who have worked for five to 10 years can expect a higher median salary of $36K. Cabinet Installers see a median salary of $40K after reaching one to two decades on the job. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Cabinet Installer with more than 20 years of experience can earn $47K on average.

Generation X Sold Out Cobain and Biggie
Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old, self-appointed judges judge / More than they have sold.
-- Kurt Cobain, from Nirvana's
Serve The Servants
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way.
-- Notorious B.I.G.,
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Well, Generation X, we hope you enjoyed nodding or banging your head along to the songs above, because you sure weren't listening to them.
Within the last month, attempts to bestow posthumous accolades on both Kurt Cobain and Christopher Wallace -- Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls -- said more about the generation that grew up on their music than it probably would have liked. In mid-October, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that Nirvana had been chosen as finalists for induction in 2014. Around the same time, an effort to name a street corner in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood after Christopher Wallace -- the exact wording was "Christopher Wallace Way" -- made its way to that neighborhood's community board.
The end result of either platitude was likely not what either of the deceased artists ever had in mind. Let's get something out of the way first: Cobain silenced his voice in any of this when he took his own life on April 5, 1994. He hasn't had a say in nearly 20 years and all of the posthumous album and video releases, big-money multi-disc reissues, films, documentaries and everything else that has surrounded Nirvana since then is strictly in the hands of Courtney Love and Cobain's former bandmates Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. Any "that's not the way Kurt would have wanted it" discussions after the time he left this earth are moot. That said, this induction isn't exactly a Nirvana decision or that of an organization that existed during Nirvana's tenure. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was the pipe dream of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner and a bunch of attorneys and record executives. Please note the lack of, you know, musicians in that lineup. This group basically picked artists it liked and started "enshrining" them in their offices in 1986. It wasn't until 1995, after the Hall of Fame folks passed the hat around the country and got $65 million in public funds from Cleveland, that they gave the Hall of Fame its current home on Lake Erie. While a nice tourism draw for Cleveland, the Hall is basically filled at its braintrust's whim, takes few token votes from the public, ignores petitions and overlooks entire genres. Its induction ceremonies are $25,000-a-table back-patting sessions for the recording industry that surviving members of the Sex Pistols famously referred to as "a piss stain" while spurning their own induction in 2006. Cobain had already formed a few not-so-favorable impressions of the industry just before his death. Nirvana's third full-length studio album, In Utero was an aggressive push back against the surge of popularity, press and industry approval the group received in the wake of 1991's Nevermind and its anthemic breakthrough single Smells Like Teen Spirit. In Utero turned 20 years old this year and is still the brash, unwelcoming work it was then. Serve The Servants opens the album with an indictment of the Nevermind period, while the wall of noise behind Milk It, Tourette's and the executive jargon-titled Radio Friendly Unit Shifter defied the suits to find a single. "They want another Nevermind, but I'd rather die than do that. This is exactly the kind of record I would buy as a fan, that I would enjoy owning," Cobain told writer Michael Azzerad, who later used the quote in his 1994 book Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana. But In Utero didn't make it stop. Cobain's stomach ailments, the heroin he was using to self-medicate them and his loathing of the industry and the artist he'd become all grew too much to bear. In his suicide note, he went into depth about how the music and the process were not only no fun anymore, but killing him. "..when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do, God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). So would Cobain want to shell out five figures to sit at a banquet table among the execs and big stars and play in a big, show-stopping jam with Paul Westerberg, Kiss, Public Enemy and whoever else jumped up on stage? Maybe not but, again, he lost his opportunity to weigh in on that a long time ago.The B.I.G. Sleep
Christopher Wallace, meanwhile, didn't get the choice. Shot to death in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997, on his way home from a party at the Petersen Automotive Museum by a still-unknown assailant, Wallace left behind only his children, his mother Voletta, his friends including Sean "Diddy" Combs and his music. Wallace's life was by no means uneventful or even enviable. From his debut single Juicy off the 1994 album Ready To Die, Wallace referenced "all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters." He was arrested on multiple occasions before his career for dealing crack cocaine and on various weapons charges. Even during his career, he was arrested for attacking autograph seekers and having guns and drugs in his home in Teaneck, N.J.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Posted Sept. 17, 2012Michael Fiala, executive chef for the Schwebel Room at Kent State, blogs about National Food Safety Education Month this September. Fiala says:
"The reality is that, as consumers, we need to be more aware of where and how our food is sourced, stored, prepared and preserved. Also, as we prepare food for others, we must give full honor to the notion that the people we are about to feed are putting all of their faith and trust in our ability to nourish them safely."

"After attending a seminar on surgical options for weight loss at Summa last September, I did some research of my own. Everything I learned confirmed the cold hard truth of what I learned at the seminar: While it's certainly possible to lose significant amounts of weight by dieting and exercise, the statistics for someone like me (a 6-foot-1-inch tall, 55-year-old male, weighing nearly 400 pounds) were quite grim."

The Southwest Washington Regional SWAT team responded to the Ridgefield area Thursday night after hearing reports of an armed man suspected of being a threat to others. After arriving on scene, deputies determined the man wasn't a threat and canceled the response.
Patrol deputies were dispatched to reports of a disturbance with weapons around 9 p.m. in the 29100 block of Northwest 41st Avenue, according to emergency dispatch logs. The SWAT team was then called out, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Fred Neiman.
Attempts to reach the reportedly armed suspect were unsuccessful.
After further investigation on the scene, officers determined the suspect with weapons was not a threat to anyone else, Neiman said. At that point the SWAT call was canceled.
"(If someone didn't commit a crime and isn't a threat) we really don't have any reason to confront someone and cause them to do something that would cause us to react," he said.
Neiman said it isn't typical for SWAT to respond and be canceled, but he said it's good for people to call 911 if they are legitimately concerned.
"We'd rather have people in good faith call to report their concerns to us than not report it and something happens," he said.

Just marriage
by Mary Lyndon Shanley
8 editions published in 2004 in English and held by 1,653 WorldCat member libraries worldwide As the national debate intensifies over what marriage is and who may marry, Mary Lyndon Shanley argues that although the state should continue to play a role in regulating personal relations, the law must be fundamentally reformed if marriage is to become a more just institution
Can we put an end to sweatshops?
by Archon Fung
2 editions published between 2001 and 2002 in English and held by 1,289 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Knowing that information about the conditions of workers around the world can influence what consumers buy and what governments regulate, Dara O'Rourke, Archon Fung, and Charles Sabel argue that making such information widely available is the best way to improve conditions. Although watchdog agencies monitor workplaces and press corporations to raise labor standards, these agencies are not enough; only coordinated action by consumers, monitors, unions, and nongovernmental organizations will threaten profits and force those who own corporations to care about the lives of those who work for them. Activists, scholars, and officials of the International Labor Organization and the World Bank respond to this provocative and hopeful proposal."--Jacket

Is multiculturalism bad for women?
by Susan Moller Okin
14 editions published between 1999 and 2011 in English and held by 1,059 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Polygamy, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, punishing women for being raped, differential access for men and women to health care and education, unequal rights of ownership, assembly, and political participation, unequal vulnerability to violence. These practices and conditions are standard in some parts of the world. Do demands for multiculturalism - and certain minority group rights in particular - make them more likely to continue and to spread to liberal democracies? Are there fundamental conflicts between our commitment to gender equity and our increasing desire to respect the customs of minority cultures or religions? In this book, the eminent feminist Susan Moller Okin and fifteen of the world's leading thinkers about feminism and multiculturalism explore these unsettling questions in a provocative, passionate, and illuminating debate. Okin opens by arguing that some group rights can, in fact, endanger women. She points, for example, to the French government's giving thousands of male immigrants special permission to bring multiple wives into the country, despite French laws against polygamy and the wives' own bitter opposition to the practice. Okin argues that if we agree that women should not be disadvantaged because of their sex, we should not accept group rights that permit oppressive practices on the grounds that they are fundamental to minority cultures whose existence may otherwise be threatened. In reply, some respondents reject Okin's position outright, contending that her views are rooted in a moral universalism that is blind to cultural difference. Okin concludes with a rebuttal, clarifying, adjusting, and extending her original position. These incisive and accessible essays are indispensable reading for anyone interested in one of the most contentious social and political issues today
A way out : America's ghettos and the legacy of racism
by Owen M Fiss
6 editions published between 2003 and 2008 in English and held by 845 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Inner cities, writes Owen Fiss, are structures of subordination. The only way to end the poverty they transmit across generations is to help people move out of them - and into neighborhoods with higher employment rates and decent schools. Based on programs tried successfully in Chicago and elsewhere, Fiss's proposal is for a provocative national policy initiative that would give inner-city residents rent vouchers so they could move to better neighborhoods. This would end at last the informal segregation, by race and income, of our metropolitan regions. Given the government's role in creating and maintaining segregation, Fiss argues, justice demands no less than such sweeping federal action."--BOOK JACKET
For love of country : debating the limits of patriotism
by Martha Craven Nussbaum
24 editions published between 1996 and 2010 in English and held by 843 WorldCat member libraries worldwide For Love of Country is a rare forum - an exciting conversation among some of our most prominent intellectuals about where our basic loyalties should lie. At the center of this lively, accessible book of debate is Martha Nussbaum's passionate argument for "cosmopolitanism." With our connections to the rest of the world growing stronger, she argues, we should distrust conventional patriotism as a parochial ideal, and instead see ourselves first of all as "citizens of the world." Sixteen writers and thinkers respond to Nussbaum's piece in short, hard-hitting essays, acknowledging the power of her argument, but often defending patriotisms and other local commitments. We hear from an astonishing range of writers - philosophers and poets, literary scholars and historians. Nussbaum reaffirms the cosmopolitan ideal in a moving closing essay. This is a book for all citizens. Representing American philosophy at its most relevant and readable, For Love of Country will shape the way we think about some of our most urgent public issues and deepest human obligations
Can working families ever win?
2 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 822 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Jody Heymann takes on the American belief that creating a better life for your children is simply a matter of working hard. She argues that poor parents don't have a fair chance. Because our nation fails to provide essential supports, it is virtually impossible for these individuals to succeed at work while caring well for their children. Because of the twin demands of work and family that poor parents face, the health and education of their children suffer. These kids often lack adequate preschool childcare or school-age care, which reduces their own potential to succeed." "Heymann shows how intergenerational poverty is perpetuated by outdated labor policies and suggests what must be done to help families. A wide range of thinkers respond."--BOOK JACKET
Whose vote counts?
by Robert Richie
8 editions published between 1999 and 2001 in English and held by 772 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The place of tolerance in Islam
by Khaled Abou El Fadl
7 editions published between 2002 and 2004 in English and Persian and held by 742 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Khaled Abou El Fadl, a prominent critic of Islamic puritanism, leads off this lively debate by arguing that Islam is a deeply tolerant religion. Injunctions to violence against nonbelievers stem from misreadings of the Qur'an, he claims, and even jihad, or so called holy war, has no basis in Qur'anic text or Muslim theology but instead grew out of social and political conflict." "Many of Abou El Fadl's respondents think differently. Some contend that his brand of Islam will only appeal to Westerners and students in "liberal divinity schools" and that serious religious dialogue in the Muslim world requires dramatic political reforms. Other respondents argue that theological debates are irrelevant and that our focus should be on Western sabotage of such reforms. Still others argue that calls for Islamic "tolerance" betray the Qur'anic injunction for Muslims to struggle against their oppressors."--BOOK JACKET
Are elections for sale?
by David Donnelly
8 editions published between 1999 and 2001 in English and held by 718 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Rousseau a free community of equals
by Joshua Cohen
16 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 595 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Joshua Cohen explains how the values of freedom, equality, and community all work together as parts of the democratic ideal expressed in Rousseau's conception of the 'society of the general will'. He also explores Rousseau's anti-Augustinian and anti-Hobbesian ideas that we are naturally good
Will standards save public education?
by Deborah Meier
2 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 588 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Deborah Meier offers a fresh take on standardized tests. While others have criticized standards and what they measure. Meier rejects the very idea of a centralized authority that dictates how and what teachers teach. Standardization, she argues, prevents citizens - including teachers - from emerging as thoughtful, responsible adults, seriously engaged with shaping their own schools, classrooms, and communities. As a result, young people can't learn from them how to be thoughtful, responsible adults and good citizens, the primary goal of public education in a democracy."--Jacket
On democracy
by Joshua Cohen
15 editions published between 1983 and 1986 in English and Undetermined and held by 569 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Islam and the challenge of democracy
by Khaled Abou El Fadl
3 editions published in 2004 in English and held by 547 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The events of September 11 and the subsequent war on terrorism have provoked widespread discussion about the possibility of democracy in the Islamic world. Such topics as the meaning of jihad, the role of clerics as authoritative interpreters, and the place of human rights and toleration in Islam have become subjects of urgent public debate around the world. With few exceptions, however, this debate has proceeded in isolation from the vibrant traditions of argument within Islamic theology, philosophy, and law. Islam and the Challenge of Democracy aims to correct this deficiency. The book engages the reader in a rich discourse on the challenges of democracy in contemporary Islam. The collection begins with a lead essay by Khaled Abou El Fadl, who argues that democracy, especially a constitutional democracy that protects basic individual rights, is the form of government best suited to promoting a set of social and political values central to Islam. Because Islam is about submission to God and about each individual's responsibility to serve as His agent on Earth, Abou El Fadl argues, there is no place for the subjugation to human authority demanded by authoritarian regimes. The lead essay is followed by eleven others from internationally respected specialists in democracy and religion. They address, challenge, and engage Abou El Fadl's work. The contributors include John Esposito, Muhammad Fadel, Noah Feldman, Nader Hashemi, Bernard Haykel, Muqtedar Khan, Saba Mahmood, David Novak, William Quandt, Kevin Reinhart, and Jeremy Waldron

Beyond backyard environmentalism
by Charles F Sabel
4 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 60 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "When we think of environmental action, we draw upon images from the disaster of Love Canal or from A Civil Action - stories of lone activists fighting the government or some corporation against all odds. In their provocative essay, Sabel, Fung, and Karkkainen demonstrate that an effective alternative is emerging. Before environmental disasters occur, citizen groups are collaborating with experts, business leaders, and local and federal governments to figure out what is best for their own neighborhoods. These examples point to more than successful environmental action: they represent a model of grassroots democracy that can be applied to the needs of any community."--BOOK JACKET more

This is a very old thread I arrived at through a search engine. Seems like every where I look these days I end up at APUG. That's OK. So, I've got this pristine, right-out-of-the-box Crown Graphic Pacemaker with the top mounted rangefinder with light. I'd say, 1960 maybe? Marked "Special" on the lensboard with a Schneider 135 in a Compur shutter. I've treasured and protected it from the least little handling mark, even have the wood block. For at least the last 25 years I've believed I had something, and here some of you guys say the Schneider lens is 2nd-rate? Well they used Schneider lenses on Rolleiflexes way before this Crown was made. So by the logic I see on this thread, Rolleiflexes are junk too.
I find it nearly impossible to believe that the Wollensak Optar is better glass than this. Ektar, maybe. But then I learn something new every day on this APUG. But this tidbit is mighty hard to swallow. Any learned input would be appreciated. I'll mark this thread for possible reply. If it turns out my Crown is not as hot as I always thought, then it's out the door. I've still got my Pacemaker Crown with Kalart I can go out an d use it, because it's in nice shape, but I don't protect it like an egg. Thanks.

Product Description
One of the easiest ways to purchase an NFA item (such as a suppressor), is to use a trust.
We recommend creating the trust using one of these methods:
Use a Lawyer in Your State
We have a more detailed lawyer finder coming to the website soon; but, for now feel free to check out our lawyer referral page.
Talking to a lawyer is a great option if you want the additional peace-of-mind from talking to somebody in person.
As a side-note here, please don't let somebody who isn't a lawyer do it for you! Although it's fine to create the trust yourself, a big problem people run into is letting a non-lawyer create it for them (including an NFA Dealer).
Do it Yourself
For people who want to save some time & money, you can create a trust on your own. The NFA Gun Trust on this page is a great example of a do-it-yourself option.
What you get with this trust
This NFA Gun Trust was specifically designed by a gun trust lawyer to work for NFA items, such as suppressors – and to be legal in all 50 states.
After purchasing, you will receive an email with a short & simple questionnaire. For most people, it will take about 5 minutes to answer the questions, and then you'll receive a PDF trust document via email.
All you'll need to do is print the trust out and have it signed & notarized – then you can use it to purchase your suppressor. It really is that simple!
The trust includes detailed instructions for adding or removing trustees and beneficiaries as well as property.
There is a lawyer that can provide technical support for this trust; but, they cannot give legal advice since this is a do-it-yourself option.
As mentioned previously, if you prefer to work with a lawyer, please check out our lawyer referral page. If, on the other hand, you want to get a quick & easy gun trust without spending as much money, this is a great option!
If you have additional questions about how to register your suppressor, please check out the details on this page.
