A small sign shining in the night: back to work. 'Don't go, Marion,' said a voice from behind her. BATES MOTEL Marion looked in the mirror at the young man who was sitting on the bed. She smiled at him sadly. 'I must get back to the office, Sam,' she said. 'My boss is 'I don't believe it,' she said to herself as she drove towards the sign.

So Marion steals $40,000 her handbag. from her boss and drives away with the money to be with Sam. It's a long, dangerous Sam jumped off the bed and stood behind her. He touched the side of her journey and, not far from Fairvale, Marion gets lost. It's dark, it's raining, she's tired face softly with the back of his hand.

If she can find somewhere to stay for just one more night, then all her 'Why?' she said, not looking at him.Tor another secret lunch, hoping that troubles will be over ... nobody will see us together in a small, cheap hotel room?

He also wrote the films Psycho II (1982) and Twilight Zone:The Movie 'Two years, maybe three.' (1983). He died in Los Angeles in 1994. 'Oh, Sam,' Marion cried, throwing the handbag onto the bed and running to hold him. 'I can't wait three years. I don't care about the money.' She kissed his face, but she was almost crying.'I want to be with you. I'll leave my job. I'll come and work in your shop.' 'Marion, please. You must understand. I don't want us to be poor when we get married. I want us to be happy. In three years' time, you'll be my wife — Mrs Sam Loomis. I promise.' Marion sighed and turned round in his arms to rest her head against his shoulder. 'In three years, I'll be twenty-nine,' she thought unhappily. Then she suddenly remembered that she was late for work. She left Sam by the window, picked up her bag and walked towards the door. 'I have to go, Sam,' she said again. 'I'm late. Mr Lowery will kill me.' Penguin Readers 1 But she didn't take the money to the bank. A plan was taking shape inside Chapter 2 Marion's Plan her head. '$40,000 is a lot of money,' she thought. 'With this money, Sam'll be able to pay his debts. Then we'll be able to get married.' 'I'm sorry I'm late,' Marion called as she hurried into the office.

The policeman knocked on the window and told her to 'I hope you are,' Cassidy said, putting the money on the desk. 'Remember, stop. Marion opened the window and looked at him nervously. Marion. Money can't buy happiness, but it can stop unhappiness.' 'Is anything wrong, miss?' the policeman asked. He walked away into Mr Lowery's office, but Mr Lowery didn't follow him. 'No. I was feeling tired so I stopped the car.' He was looking at the money on Marion's desk and seemed worried. 'I don't want 'Why didn't you stay at a hotel?

If he has, I'll have to sell this car as soon as I can and get another one. I don't want anyone to follow me to Fairvale.' At last the police car stopped following her, and turned off along another Chapter 4 Norman road. About an hour later Marion arrived in a small town. She stopped at a garage and asked about changing her car for another one. While the man from the garage There were no other cars outside the motel, and the office was empty.

Marion got out of her car to meet him. She went back to the garage and showed the man the car that she wanted. He was a young man, tall and thin, with a friendly, boyish face. 'Don't you want to try it first?' he asked. 'I'm sorry I wasn't in the office,' he smiled. 'No thank you,' Marion replied. 'I'm in a hurry. How much will it cost?' 'Do you have a room?' Marion asked. 'Your car, and seven hundred dollars.' 'Twelve rooms, all of them empty,' the young man laughed. 'You're wet.

But before that, I need to eat.' Marion drove across the desert all day, then up into the hills. As it got dark, it 'There's a restaurant about ten miles away, outside Fairvale.

But she couldn't stop looking at the cellar door below 'Norman's room,' she thought, picking up some of the books. They were her. Maybe the mother was down there?

Scalia's Prescient Arguments
For yesterday's Supreme Court ruling striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, three of the four dissenting justices wrote their own opinions. But of the three, Justice Scalia's dissent has gotten by far the most attention.
Liberal online commentators claim it's "intemperate," "sassy," "angry," and "dripping with contempt and sarcasm." With all this focus on how emotional his dissent was, one would think Scalia had nothing rational to say.
And while the opinion did contain some snark -- Scalia wrote that the ruling was filled with "legalistic argle-bargle" and "nonspecific hand-waving" -- none of that should discount its reasonable and logical arguments.
First, Scalia disagreed with the majority that the Court had any "power to decide this case" in the first place since there was no "case or controversy" to be resolved. The government, New York state, and the plaintiff, Edith Windsor, had already "agree[d] that the court below got it right; and they agreed in the court below that the court below that one got it right as well."
In fact, Windsor had "won below, and so cured her injury". Scalia then quoted a former justice saying, "absent a 'real, earnest and vital controversy between individuals,' we have neither any work nor any power" to rule on a given case. "In the more than two centuries that this Court has existed as an institution," Scalia wrote, "we have never suggested that we have the power to decide a question when every party agrees with both its nominal opponent and the court below on that question's answer."
Consequently, argued Scalia, there was no reason this case should have even come before the Court. In addressing the argument made by the majority -- that the Court had a duty, as per the "clear dictate of the separation-of-powers principle," from allowing an "Act of Congress ... to conflict with the Constitution" -- Scalia said that such a mindset of judicial tyranny would have been "unrecognizable" to the Founding Fathers.
But once Scalia got to the merits of the case itself, he had much more to say. Right off the bat, he called the majority opinion's justifications "rootless and shifting" for paying needless lip-service to arguments of federalism at first to only then cite equal-protection cases. For Scalia, the two came into conflict -- a conflict left unaddressed by the majority.
Scalia's main contention concerned the majority's holding that the purpose of DOMA was based solely on a "desire to harm" gay couples. He wrote that "there are many perfectly valid -- indeed, downright boring -- justifying rationales for this legislation," including the uncertainty and confusion that DOMA avoided when married couples crossed state lines. But instead, the majority portrayed the president and the Congress who passed this legislation two decades ago as "unhinged members of a wild-eyed lynch mob" whose only motivation was malice.
"[T]o defend traditional marriage is not to condemn, demean, or humiliate those who would prefer other arrangements, any more than to defend the Constitution of the United States is to condemn, demean, or humiliate other constitutions," asserted Scalia. He further objected: "It is one thing for a society to elect change; it is another for a court of law to impose change by adjudging those who oppose it hostes humani generis, enemies of the human race."
His final argument centered on the fact that, despite the majority's "limiting assurance," the logic of the ruling can only lead one to conclude that gay marriage is a constitutional right, especially after "a lecture on how superior the majority's moral judgment in favor of same-sex marriage is to the Congress's hateful moral judgment against it." And using such language as "demeaning" and "degrading" will render the majority's assurance "meaningless." By cleverly switching certain phrases in the Court's ruling (the new ones are shown in italics), he then showed how easily and inevitably the logic followed:
DOMA's This state law's principal effect is to identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages constitutionally protected sexual relationships, see Lawrence, and make them unequal. The principal purpose is to impose inequality, not for other reasons like governmental efficiency. Responsibilities, as well as rights, enhance the dignity and integrity of the person. And DOMA this state law contrives to deprive some couples married under the laws of their State enjoying constitutionally protected sexual relationships, but not other couples, of both rights and responsibilities.
In closing, he claimed that "the Court has cheated both sides, robbing the winners of an honest victory, and the losers of the peace that comes from a fair defeat. We owed both of them better."
I predict Scalia will be vindicated within two years. Gay marriage advocates in states that don't recognize gay marriages will inevitably sue their states, using much of the language in the majority opinion and relying on much of its logic, including the Equal Protection Clause. The left-wing commentariat is simply not giving Scalia enough credit.
But when have liberals ever done that?

Gloom and doom with a sense of … hey, wait a minute Some Grumpy Grumpersteins out there think environmentalism is never funny. TBS aims to prove 'em wrong with Earth to America! — an exclamation-pointed, …
In Nick Turse's astonishing list of Bush administration casualties -- civil servants who have quit or been fired for bucking administration policy -- are numerous entries of interest to greens. Here are a few:
All the sustainable bloggy folk are reporting on a new poll in the Wall Street Journal. On the bright side, "nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults agree that protecting the environment is important and standards cannot be too high." Then again, "Only 12% of U.S. adults describe themselves as active environmentalists." There's a lot to be unpacked in this, but I gotta skeedaddle home. Read the whole thing. I'll just say: greens are rather obsessed with the idea that if they just get the facts out there, people will want action. (This is particularly true on global warming.) But the facts are already out there. People already want action. But there's a difference between wanting action in the "I'd say so on a poll" way and wanting action on the "I'd make it a voting priority" way. We don't need more facts and studies and "proof." We need to figure out how to motivate people. Those are separate undertakings, and it's the latter greens are failing at.
Sprol seems to have redesigned since the last time I visited. Their RSS feed is a little fritzed, for me anyway, but as usual there's tons of fascinating stuff there. Just thought you'd like to know.
So, Carl Pope, what's up with this refinery business going on in Congress? The answer is clear: Oil industry members of Congress and their allies in the Administration believe that America needs new petroleum sacrifice zones. It's not enough that the oil industry has devastated the Louisiana and Texas coasts by destroying the wetlands that should have protected New Orleans, by fouling the turtle nesting areas of Padre Island National Seashore, and by killing and maiming thousands of residents of Cancer Alley along the Mississippi River. Now, California, Florida, the Carolinas, Virginia, and New England must also be turned over to the oil industry. First we must throw them billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars to ensure their engorged profits. Then we will allow them to build new refineries without regard for their neighbors or for state and local control. Then we will bribe state governors to turn their coastlines into oil fields to feed these new refineries. And then we will eliminate public health standards to make these refineries even more profitable. This is not even a conspiracy -- it's not secretive enough. Speak it!
So, I claimed a few days ago that environmentalism is never funny. Apparently, there's some dispute about this matter. So we're going to settle it once and for all. And we're going to start with the most basic unit of humor on the planet, the unit of humor that dragged itself up out of the primordial swamp and flopped onto land, causing the other protozoa to giggle and roll their eyes. Yes: the knock-knock joke. You think environmental matters can be funny? Prove it. Leave us a green knock-knock joke in the comments. We dare you.
I should have done this several days ago, but better late than never: Check out Joel Makower's excellent list of resources for businesses looking to save (or make) some money through energy efficiency. As he says: Energy efficiency (the more business-like alternative to "conservation") has a strong foundation in a bottom-line-centric world. And there are rich resources -- case studies, how-to manuals, calculators, incentive programs, technical assistance agencies, and more -- to help companies manage the process. There's also a sizeable industry that's grown up around helping companies audit, assess, implement, and finance energy-efficiency solutions. And yet, we've barely begun to harvest the low-hanging fruit, let alone sow the seeds of an economy that can continue to grow and prosper using continually less energy from oil and other polluting resources. Get to it!
Call it environmentalism, Bush style. A new federal tax credit will help allay the extra cost of purchasing hybrid vehicles, but the Byzantine formula for calculating the savings provides greater financial incentives for buying heavy SUVs than more fuel-efficient cars. Read the rest at Wired. (Via TP.)
A point I try frequently to make: If you want real, substantial, lasting environmental change, it is not enough simply to recycle or drive less or shop at Whole Foods or buy organic cotton t-shirts. It is not enough to advocate that others do so. The kind of environmental change we need will never happen solely through personal virtue. There just aren't enough virtuous people. What's needed are structural changes -- changes in gov't policy and regulation at every level, changes in the way we build and run our communities, changes in the practices of large corporations, changes in international norms and treaties. Political advocacy, in the broadest sense, is the obligation of any true environmentalist. Now, why do I pound on this point, even at risk of being a big downer for all the chipper eco-strivers who so love Umbra? Look no further than this headline: "Environment High in Personal Values, Low in Political Priorities for U.S. Voters" Grrr ...
We've devised the world's shortest survey to find out what kind of actions our readers are taking. You know you want to.

How can I break this into multiple strings ignoring blank lines? I was planning to do the following, but am not sure if there is a better way. All I need to do is read line by line. Vector here is just a convenience and I can avoid it. * Unfortunately I donot have access to the actual file. I only receive the string object *

Harper says #MMIW like #TinaFontaine not a "sociological phenomenon". Why do I have a picture of an Ostrich in my mind?
— Ron Janzen (@MCCM_ED) August 22, 2014
I agree w/ Harper that #mmiw is not 'sociological phenomenon'. It's symptom of recognized systemic racism. Inquiry still necessary sadly.
