Earth's future in intergalactic relations, if video games are to be believed, can be summed up thusly: We're the neutral, laissez faire good guys. The aliens are convinced that our otherwise mundane existence is somehow a threat to theirs. Real reasons are rarely given; perhaps they're like the Vogons, who needed to destroy Earth because it stood in the way of their highway. In the end, though, it doesn't matter because they're always out to invade or destroy us.
The shooting game Side Arms saw a few slightly differing incarnations, with the differences mostly being in the title. Most people just call it Side Arms. The package of the rare TurboGrafx-16 version - which is the best-known version and frequently considered the defining version - simply calls it Sidearms. Capcom calls it Hyper Dyne Side Arms. Or Side Arms Hyper Dyne. The music is also different. In all the ways that really matter, though, the game is the same across every appearance. The gameplay is pretty much unchanged. The arcade classic had a two-player mode which the TurboGrafx-16 doesn't have, but the Turbo version has a soundtrack which is by far superior.
Side Arms is a shooter. By that, you should be able to make a wild stab at guessing the story. If you blow it, please defer back to the first paragraph. If you still don't get it, you're a fucking idiot, but since I'm a nice guy, here it is spelled out in plain English: Aliens have taken over the world. Your job is to Save the World! Instead of flying in a spaceship, you'll be fighting in a mobile suit. Off into ten levels we go. Ten insanely merciless levels slowly descending into a classic bullet hell.
I first owned this game on the Turbo, but it wasn't until the playing the arcade edition on the second Capcom Classics Collection that I was able to get anywhere outside the fourth level. That was because the Classics Collection version has unlimited continues, and the continues on it play like lost lives: Continuing places you right in the exact spot where you died. The greatest challenge in Side Arms isn't quite from the fact that everyone attacks from everywhere at the same time, though; it's because the respawning invulnerability time is too short and doesn't grant you enough time to get the character to safety between the time you die and the time you become solid and vulnerable again. As a result, you're going to be losing lives in good, long strings before you get any breathing room.
The types of enemies populating the ten levels in Side Arms tend to attack in constant waves, and most levels have nasty obstacles which make for a narrow screen and no room to maneuver. Enemies tend to be placed in hard-to-attack locations a lot of the time, although many of them have multi-directional guns and homing missiles, which means they have no problems getting at you. The enemies that are easy to attack come in waves and frequently make charges at your body. While that makes them easy to keep at a distance, they tend to pop up in any given direction on the screen, so you're stuck dodging shots from hard-to-reach bad guys while attacking the charging cavalry enemies at the same time.
It's a way of padding difficulty, but one I'm willing to accept - Side Arms is a shooting game, after all, and we don't expect things to be easy. What isn't nearly as acceptable starts showing up in the second level: The centipede enemy. There are two types of centipede enemies. They both move very quickly and can take about a billion shots to the head - which, by the way, is their only vulnerable part. They're in the game sparingly at first, but soon they get used as a fallback enemy for the times the game thinks you're starting to do too well. The later levels will send two or three of these suckers at you at the same time, and between them and everything else going on, well, it's enough to make even shooter masters who have mastered the likes of Giga Wing or Mars Matrix jitters. That's the real annoyance of Side Arms. It wasn't good enough to leave an already-padded challenge level be.
Someone seems to have had a pretty set idea of just where games would end, too. If you're playing the Capcom Classics Collection version of Side Arms, you can make it through the game because there are unlimited continues. In the Turbo version, though, you start with three lives and get only two or three continues. Extra lives are extremely rare, and continues don't reproduce at all. In the Turbo version, I was usually very very lucky to make it halfway into the third level. The even rarer occasions I was able to survive to the fourth required took more luck than skill. I think I made it that far twice, and my best game got me halfway through the fourth level. I'm convinced someone realized a lot of games would end here because the level designs through the first four levels are some of the most challenging and superb I've ever seen in a shooter. The quality and length of the levels undergoes a serious drop in the fifth and sixth levels. By the seventh, it's clear Capcom didn't give a rat's ass anymore. Those levels all appear to have been thrown in backhandedly, and they seem to be more in the game to get in your way than provide a memorable and fun gaming experience.
The supreme irony of this is how easy the bosses are. Every boss except the first and final repeats, and the first boss and two more of the boss designs use the same forms of attack: A three-way laser and a pair of homing missiles. One of them adds charging toward you occasionally. The other boss design is a large flying saucer which you meet three times. The first time, it launches bullets. The second time, lasers. The third time, homing missiles. Sensing a pattern here?
The graphics in Side Arms don't have the world's most original designs, but they work well for what they do. They're bright and colorful, and it's mostly easy to tell the foreground from the background. Things tend to get more blase in the later levels, but by then you'll be too busy trying to ward off the bad guys to notice any graphic shortcomings.
The sounds in the arcade version of Side Arms are terrible and sound muffled. Fortunately, if you're lucky enough to own the Turbo version, everything is a lot more crystalline. The arcade music is generic and sounds like it's being recorded through a brick wall. The Turbo version gives us music which rocks, especially in the first level. The first level music should be considered a classic track, and probably would be if the Turbo was a more popular console.
The controls are very easy. Button I fires right. Button II fires left. Run is a weapon selection screen which pauses the game - that can be a distraction, but it does allow you to collect your bearings in one of the game's many tough situations. There are no smart bombs, but the weapon selection is diverse and creative: There's a little thing called the Orbital Bit which orbits you and assists your fire; a shotgun which is weak by can destroy enemy bullets; a BFG; a three-way; and an auto gun which doesn't do jack shit if the autofire is on. There are two forms of the auto, actually: One fires only straight ahead, the other to the right as well as above and below you. The suit can also get a super upgrade which allows you to take an extra hit and fires in eight directions. Nice, but the eight-way firing seems to neglect certain directions at times. Other than that, flight is a breeze. When you collect speed power-ups, they make a difference, but not a big one.
Side Arms should be better than it is. It's a worthy effort and a potential classic through about five levels. Unfortunately, there are ten levels, as well as recycled bosses and poor enemy placement, so only a big shooter fan should try Side Arms.

The location of this movie theater - housed within a shopping mall that is just a stone's throw from several restaurants - makes it the perfect place to take a break from shopping or relax after dinner. The theaters themselves are modern and comfortable, and if a movie is particularly popular it will often be shown on two of the cinema's six screens. Movie times vary. Please call for information.

You might have missed this if you were caught up in New Year's Eve revelry: the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, called Revolution, will reportedly arrive on January 29, 2013. Activision has yet to confirm anything officially, but a Reddit user shared what appears to be some real-deal promo art, as you can see above.
Assuming the posted image is accurate, it looks like Revolution will add four new multiplayer maps (Hydro, Downhill, Grind, Mirage), a new zombie map, and -- in a series first for DLC, a new weapon, the Peacekeeper SMG. The title of the zombie map -- Die Rise -- appears to be a play on the title of the World at War Zombies map, Der Reise.
It's not official until Activision confirms it of course, but late-January certainly seems like the right time for the latest Call of Duty game's first DLC.

Our Peter Rabbit Fathead Wall Decal is perfect for a birthday, graduation, holidays or just because. This gift is one that any Peter Rabbit fan will always remember.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see.

Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.
Applying REAL.BIG. Fathead decals that require the rub on transfer application requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, they are not movable or reusable so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the buttons below:

What's the Latest Development?
A new book which attempts to reconcile psychoanalysis with neuroscience may have practical implications in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and PTSD. Catherine Malabou's What Should We Do With Our Brain? argues that "we have failed to understand ourselves because we have failed to acknowledge recent scientific discoveries, particularly 'plasticity,' or the brain's ability to change." Through the course of the argument, Malabou updates psychotherapy's concept of clinical treatment by recognizing that mental wounds do not come from a buried subconscious but from events that befall us in the real world.
What's the Big Idea?
Malabou references clinical trials with patients who have acquired neurological disorders (rather than being born with them) and finds that patients do not identify with a stable psyche—the sort required by traditional psychological investigation. Rather, patients experience themselves as a different person, one with whom they are unfamiliar. "The old onion of the psyche, with its layers upon layers of meaning, is simply not there to peel apart in analysis; rather, it has been replaced by a new self, which requires a different clinical approach."

Uh oh, just primed some handgun brass with large magnum rifle primers
I'm usually so careful, but I blew it tonight.
So, what do I do with them. It's about 30 rounds. No powder or bullet, just the primers are in the brass (10mm). Could I still load them up with a lower pressure load? Or, do I drop them in my SW 610, shoot the primers out and start over? Tom |

I'd just run them through a deprimer (aka, first stage die) and reprime. Done it many a time...just move the ram a tad slower.

Yup, only 30 rounds...go for the resize die and pop them out really slowly. I go until I feel the pin hit the primer and do a slow 3 count to pop it out. Might want to wear hearing and eye protection just in case. I have screwed up, I mean had to deprime about 200 rounds now and haven't had a problem but still, better safe then sorry.

Being on the subject, how much difference would the two primers be and would it be safe to shoot as is or would it be dangerous to do this.

Large rifle are taller than large pistol.
Just knock them out with a depriming die, and pitch them. |

I would not shoot them.
Large rifle magnum primers are quite a bit more energetic than large pistol primers. They're designed to ignite large quantities of slow burning powders. You could potentially run into serious pressure excursion problems if you were to use them with pistol powders, which are much faster burning.

If you're worried about depriming "live", just shoot them as if they were blanks. If you're at home, just go into a closet and aim into a bucket; you might bother to drape a towel around "the system". Wear your hearguards.

Definitely DO NOT load them.
I would carefully deprime them as suggested. Wear your safety gear. |

Pop them off with the gun, then decap and reprime. I know many people who have deprimed live primers. They flood the bottom of the case with WD40 throw a heavy rag over the press and de prime. The safest is pop them in the gun. Good luck .

I've deprimed many cases on my 550, with no ill effects. One must obviously be gentle, but not only do I deprime without disaster, I can catch the primer as it comes down the chute and re-use it.
But that's me; you may wish to do something else. |

I've deprimed S L O W on my RCBS rock chucker before. No problems. I wouldn't try to re-use them. If you scrap old primers you could always go outside with a hammer and pop em all w/ earmuffs on, that's what I do when primers get "compromised."

You could always use them for wax bullet loads for shooting in the backyard or teaching newbies.
You'll get *some* utility out of them. Chris |

What about small pistol magnum primers?
I'm sitting on about 1100 CCI SP mag primers and no immediate use for them.
Is there any way I can safely use them up in some reduced .38 special loads somehow? |

Years ago, when I was just starting reloading, I only had SP Mag primers on hand because I was mainly loading 357mag loads. Then, I decided to load some 38s as well. I used the mag primers with a slightly reduced powder charge with no problems at all.
I keep both types on hand now, but in a pinch I'd use the mag primers again for 38 Special loads. It's not "best practice", but it works. Chris |

So what'd you do drop a grain off the starting load? 2 grains?
I have Unique, Bullseye, Power Pistol, and 231 on hand. Agreed, not the best practice to do this, when they're gone, they're gone. I just don't have a clue what they'll do pressure wise and these would be shot in a non +P rated gun. Sure would like to use them up though. |

Not even that much, half a grain or so below max (standard pressure data, not +P). They were just plinking loads. I shot most of them through a GP100, but also shot some later on in a S&W M36. I never noticed any problems that indicated I needed to change the load.
This was with Bullseye. Chris |

TV characters who broke ground and set a new normal
With attitudes changing and acceptance of gay men and lesbians increasing in the USA, it's worth looking at some of the gay and lesbian television characters who have been coming into Americans' homes since the mid-1970s. On 'Soap,' Billy Crystal, left, was TV's first major homosexual character.

Press release from Business Wire
U.S. Bank Releases Apps for Windows Phone
Monday, October 22, 2012
U.S. Bank Releases Apps for Windows Phone09:00 EDT Monday, October 22, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire) -- U.S. Bank today announced availability of two mobile apps for Windows
Phone – one developed through U.S. Bank Wealth Management and the other
through U.S. Bank Retail Payment Solutions. The apps, featured in the
Windows Phone Store, are free and provide consumers with access to
market and economic insights, as well as access to an instant credit
application for the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card.
"We are pleased to extend our mobile services to Windows Phone with the
U.S. Bank Wealth Management app created in close collaboration with
Microsoft," said Howell 'Mac' McCullough, executive vice president and
chief strategy officer at U.S. Bank. "We continue to innovate with a
focus on giving our customers convenience and choice in how they want to
access and manage their financial relationship with U.S. Bank."
"Windows Phone is backed by a growing developer ecosystem that continues
to create a variety of apps and games that are designed to take
advantage of the phone's unique features and design," said Todd Brix,
senior director, Windows Phone Apps, Microsoft Corp. "With the mobile
buying power afforded to customers, the U.S. Bank Wealth Management app
is a great example of the quality titles people will find on Windows
Phone Marketplace to get the most out of their phone," he continued.
The U.S. Bank Wealth Management app, which can be downloaded for free
from the Windows Phone Store, allows users to access timely market and
economic insights from U.S. Bank Wealth Management, save and monitor a
portfolio of stocks using interactive charting, and get real time stock
quotes. The app also allows users to locate a U.S. Bank branch or ATM.
"Our first mobile app for individual investors delivers timely market
information from U.S. Bank investment management experts directly into
the hands of Windows Phone customers," said Angela O'Leary, head of
investment products at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. "This is part of our
continuing effort to build and deliver mobile applications on all key
platforms that will allow our brokerage clients to securely trade
stocks, monitor their investment and account information and transfer
funds between accounts anywhere anytime."
The U.S. Bank Cash+ Signature Visa Card app allows consumers to apply
for a card and, if qualified, they will receive a secure, virtual card
via their Windows Phone to begin making purchases immediately. U.S. Bank
introduced the Cash+ Visa Signature Card in July, providing customers a
choice in how much they earn in certain categories in order to maximize
their cash back.
"The new U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card has powerful features for
customers to earn the most cash back, such as the selection of cash back
categories and a cash back redemption bonus," said Lynn Heitman, senior
vice president at U.S. Bank Retail Payment Solutions. "The new app not
only provides immediate buying power for qualified applicants but also
generous cash back rewards for all spending."
U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature cardholders can shop online, over the
phone or in-store at millions of merchant locations that accept Visa.
For every transaction, U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature cardholders earn 5
percent cash back on two categories of their choice, like restaurants or
department stores. They earn 2 percent cash back on one every day
category of their choice – gas, groceries or drug stores – and 1 percent
cash back on everything else. U.S. Bank awards a $25 Cash+ Bonus each
time a cardholder redeems $100 or more cash back in a single redemption.
As with other U.S. Bank mobile applications, the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa
Signature Card App allows customers to enjoy anytime access to account
management tools, such as viewing the account balance and most recent
transactions as well as making a payment to the account.
The introduction of apps for Windows Phone expands U.S. Bank's mobile
platform options for credit card approval. Since 2011, the iPhone and
Android platforms have hosted credit card approval apps for cobranded
partners, REI and Ace Hardware.

6 Months After Superstorm Sandy, Signs Of Progress But More To Be Done (page 5)
On Long Island, progress in some communities can be measured house-by-house and street-by-street.
As CBS 2's Jennifer McLogan reported, Sean Hogan of Lindenhurst was getting his roof back up, and his wife has had a baby since the storm. But he has had no money from the insurance.
"I'm doing it all on my own time, and thank God I have some friends that came and helped me, and basically just worked for free," he said.
Their street was decimated. A neighbor, Ray Velton, took home video of water that he estimated to be above his head.
Meanwhile, the South Shore of Nassau County was soaked with sewage and sea water. Prized possessions from thousands of homes were carted to Nickerson Beach, brewing a potential health calamity.
The dump is gone now, but things are far from back to normal. Neighbors said tourists will be bowled over – and not in a good way – on Long Beach.
The boardwalk in Long Beach is not rebuilt; a dedication ceremony for a new boardwalk was held just this past weekend. And around the town, many businesses remained shuttered.
"We know that six months is way too long to wait, whether it be for our residents or our businesses," said Long Beach City Manager Jack Schnirman. "But we are so happy."
The happiness and relief comes from the fact that Sandy relief funding is due this week, he said.
And some businesses on Long Beach are back up and running, including Bruce Bond's pizzeria.
"I was closed for six-and-a-half weeks, comeback is slow. There's about 700 empty homes that are still on the west end of Long Beach, the area where my business is. We survived," Bond told WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs. "We survived like Long Beach people do. And we'll keep surviving, we'll keep going on one day at a time."
Bond added that his business will be back and stronger than ever as the recovery process continues. But some storm-weary residents like Janice said full recovery is still a long way off.
"You almost can't believe it happened. I can't believe it's six months," a Long Beach resident added.
There are still hundreds of single-family homes and many businesses too damaged to occupy or open, Xirinachs reported.
Congress approved more than $60 billion in Sandy relief funds, most of it for New Jersey and New York, despite opposition from many Congressional Republicans who wanted to spend less.

Popular Science Monthly/Volume 38/January 1891/The Decline of Rural New England
By Prof. AMOS N. CURRIER.
IN every period of American history the influence of New England has been marked and out of proportion to its size and population. In religious thought and activities, in great moral and social movements, in literature and scholarship, in inventive genius and the skilled industries, in the pulpit, at the bar, on the bench, and in legislative halls, New-Englanders have always stood in the front rank and have contributed largely to the worthiest American achievements.
Now, the bulk of this population, until very recent years, has been rural rather than urban, and the towns themselves, large and small, have been made up of the country-born and country-bred, while almost the entire stream of emigration that has THE DECLINE OF RURAL NEW ENGLAND. 385
flooded and fertilized the Northwest has had its source in the hamlets and farms. It would be easy to show that the quality of this output from the rural districts has been even more remark- able than the quantity. Hence came Webster, Choate, Chase, Greeley, Cushing, Bryant, Whittier, Beecher, Hopkins, and a long list of notables that will occur to every reader. It may therefore be fairly claimed that what New England has been and what it has done, at home and abroad, through its citizens or through its colonists, has come in large measure from the country districts.
Hence the prosperity of this region concerns not merely New England, but the country at large. The testimony of many reli- able witnesses and my own observations, covering more than twenty years, convince me that the outlook for the future is very unsatisfactory.
1. Fifty years ago almost every farm was cultivated by the owner, who had every interest in its most careful tillage, in mak- ing permanent improvements, and in the care of buildings, fences, and woodland. Hired labor was the exception, for the large fami- lies were quite competent for all the farm-work, the indoor as well as the outdoor, with a surplus which went to the aid of less fortunate neighbors, and sent brains and muscle to the city or to the opening West. Not all farmers were equally industrious, frugal, and successful, but there was a large body of landed pro- prietors, homogeneous in race, substantially on an equality social- ly, and alike interested in the present and future welfare of the community. In this respect there has been a great change in the last twenty years, and one which is going on more rapidly every year. The land is passing into the hands of non-resident proprie- tors, by mortgage, by death of resident owner, by his removal to the village or manufacturing center, or his emigration to the West.
It is also held in fewer hands, not as a general thing to be managed and worked in large estates, but to be rented from year to year.
The new proprietor has bought the farm at a small price, as compared with its former valuation, and has no interest or pride in it or its management except as an investment. So in every township there is an increasing body of renters, as a class unre- liable, unsuccessful, shifting, and shiftless. Their interest in the property and the community is temporary, their tillage such as they suppose will bring the largest immediate returns with the least care and labor. It goes without saying that such farms and all their appurtenances are in a state of chronic decline. These renters are often bankrupt farmers, or young men without the pluck and thrift to become farm-owners, the courage and push to vol. xxxvm. 27
go to the West, or the qualities in demand in the manufacturing towns.
In some towns is found an increasing element of Canadian French, good-natured, easy-going, thriftless people, living in a slipshod way from their labor when things go well, but, if sick- ness comes, or crops are short, or the winter long and hard, more or less dependent upon the poor-fund. This floating population, and especially its French element, is the bane of local and even State politics, especially in New Hampshire, for many of its voters are purchasable at least once at each election, and, as it holds the balance of power in many small towns, purchasers for both parties are rarely wanting, and prices rule high. I have personally known voters who openly counted their election wages an important item in the year's revenue. It will be readily be- lieved that all public interests have suffered enormously by the substitution of such people for the thrifty, public-spirited farmers who preceded them. This French element is further objection- able in that it keeps itself aloof from the spirit of its adopted country, intact in language as well as religion, and has declared its purpose to change New England to New France.
2. Many farms are without resident cultivators, and in all probability will never again be homesteads. The New Hamp- shire Commissioner of Agriculture reports eight hundred and eighty-seven such farms, and these are only a small part. I know a district where eight contiguous farms have been thus aban- doned, and, taking the farm on which the writer was born as the center, a circle with a radius of five miles would inclose twenty farms abandoned within the last few years.
Some of these have good buildings, stone fences, apple and sugar orchards, and all have made comfortable homes. On some of them a few acres of the best land are tilled, while the rest pro- duces a lessening crop of hay or is used for pasture. The fine old orchards, uncared for, are wasting away, a lilac or a few rose- bushes struggling for life in the grass show the site of the old garden, the buildings are falling to decay, and homesteads that have fostered large and prosperous families for generations are a desolation and will soon be a wilderness. In some districts the old country roads are becoming impassable from the growth of bushes and the cessation of all repairs. An eminent New Eng- land judge told me last summer that public sentiment in these districts will not allow a jury to find damages against the au- thorities in case of injuries to travelers from such defective high- ways, on the ground that the diminished population can not keep them in repair.
The abandonment of this rough country and the transfer of its population to more fertile regions or more remunerative em-
ployments may be no financial loss to the nation, bnt it robs New England of a hardy yeomanry, with whom the love of natal soil and home and simple life has been almost a religion.
3. Not only is the area of cultivated land decreasing in this way, but the land-owners are sensibly narrowing their tillage. The land is growing poorer, partly from natural causes and partly from less careful working and the marked decrease in the amount of live stock kept upon it. The fact is, farming does not pay, especially if help must be hired to do a large part of the work.
The farmer finds himself the victim of all the evils of a pro- tective tariff without its supposed benefits. The promised home market he has found to his cost, if not his ruin, is a delusion and a snare. If the manufacturing centers in his vicinity have raised the price of some of his products, they have advanced the cost of labor in a greater degree, and drawn to themselves the best brain and muscle from the farms. He is being heavily taxed for the benefit of the whole list of these assistant industries that rob him of his working force, while the competition, intensified by labor- saving machines suited to the large prairie farms of the "West and stimulated by lavish gifts of land to settlers and subsidies to rail- roads, ruinously reduces the prices of his products in his natural home market. He buys Western flour and Western corn for his own consumption at a cheaper rate than he can produce them with hired labor, and by reason of the long winter is unable to compete with the West and South in cattle-raising for the East- ern markets at his door. Confining his attention to the few crops that, from their bulk or perishable nature, are not subject to the destructive competition of the West, the ordinary farmer merely lives and pays current expenses, while his less shrewd and careful neighbor falls behind each year, and sooner or later will be sold out of house and home.
Naturally, there is a decay of heart and hope that blights growth and prosperity. Many farms within a hundred miles of Boston and not five miles from excellent railroad facilities will not sell for the cost of the improvements. The New Hampshire Com- missioner of Agriculture gives a long list of farms with " fairly comfortable buildings, at prices from two dollars to ten dollars per acre," and a shorter list at higher prices. The Vermont Com- missioner gives a list at from three dollars to five dollars per acre, and nearer to railroad or village, with better buildings, five dollars to ten dollars " all at no great distance from market and adapted to doing business." I know of the sale of such a farm of fifty acres, with fair buildings, well supplied with water and fuel, at fifty-two dollars. What a paradise for the Henry George theo- rists !
4. Outside of the large towns and business centers the popula-
tion is stationary or dwindling with greater or less rapidity, ac- cording as the district in question is more or less exclusively rural. Then the percentage of young people and children is much smaller than fifty years ago. The old-fashioned large fami- lies are the rare exception, and the young folks are early drawn away from the old homestead. In my native town the school dis- tricts have been reduced from twenty-one to eleven, and many of these enlarged districts have only a half or fourth the pupils of the original divisions. The real decline of the native stock is greater than the decrease in numbers would indicate, for there is a decided increase in the foreign element, which with all its vir- tues is not qualified to strengthen and perpetuate the old New England type of character and spirit. Nor is this state of things confined to a few obscure places among the mountains, for some of the historic towns founded by the Puritans are undergoing the same process of decline or change of population. Many of the large towns, deprived of the former stream of recruits from the country, are fast changing from Anglo-Saxon to Celtic and from Protestant to Catholic.
5. In the last thirty years the colleges have been strengthened in endowments and appliances, and are doing a better and wider work than formerly ; the larger towns have excellent high schools, and the well-endowed academies are strong and well at- tended. But, with the rural districts far removed from these ad- vantages, there is no provision for secondary education. The un- graded district school, with its brief school term, is the beginning and the end of local opportunities. The unendowed academies of forty years ago, then filled with young people, are dead and have left no successors. It is true, some young people resort to the high schools and endowed academies, but secondary education here is far less general than in the former time, while many are lost to the college and higher education whom a good local acad- emy of the old type would stimulate to an extended course of study. In one of the most picturesque districts of New Hamp- shire is an endowed academy that thirty-five years ago had an annual attendance of more than four hundred, and sent to college each year thirty boys, to say nothing of a dozen girls as well and widely trained for whom no college opened its doors. The same school has less than one fourth the old number of students and graduates. It is fair to say that the decadence of this school is partly due to the larger advantages offered by better-equipped rivals, but the main cause of decline is the dearth of young people in its natural region of supply, and the diminished interest in higher education.
6. Many churches have dwindled into insignificance, or have been blotted out altogether, owing to deaths and removals, with no
corresponding additions. In scores of towns houses of worship are closed, to all appearance finally, or are used for non-religious purposes, while others are in the hands of Catholics, or are too far gone to decay for occupancy of any sort. In many towns enough church members in substantial doctrinal accord might be found to form one strong and influential church but for minor points of doctrine and practice, and so, divided, they live at a dying rate, of little consequence to their adherents or the community. The whole truth would not be told if it were not added that this re- ligious desolation is also largely due to lack of sufficient interest on the part of members and outsiders to support church work and attend religious services. Not that the faith of the fathers is repudiated for newer or more liberal ideas, but that apathy on the whole subject is often the prevalent spirit. The home mission societies regard some of these towns in as much need of mission- ary work as the rudest frontier settlements.
7. I am told by persons who have spent their lives in these rural towns that there is a decline in public spirit, and a visible growing away from the pure democracy characteristic of primi- tive New England. For example, the old school district is no longer a body politic in New Hampshire. A town committee manages all school affairs.
All the statements of this paper are particularly applicable to the large extent of rougher hill country of New Hampshire, Ver- mont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, but in a lesser degree and with various modifications, to other districts remote from largo towns. It is possible that some of these conditions may be im- proved when industry and population are rearranged and adapted to the changed circumstances, but I can not escape the conviction that the decline is permanent. Even if the late movement to at- tract Swedish immigrants to these abandoned farms is successful, neither we nor our successors will see here again a rural com- munity of the old type keen, active, intelligent, sturdy, and in- dependent, of strong moral and religious fiber, an unrivaled ca- pacity for popular government, and an inborn and inbred taste for hard work, plain living, and high thinking.
��A conception of the rate at which facilities of communication have been de- veloped during the past two hundred years may he obtained from the statement that in the seventeenth century it required fifteen days to go by diligence from Paris to Marseilles ; in 1782, the time had been shortened to eight days ; in 1814, to five days, by mail-post ; in 1840, to three days; and in 1889, to fourteen hours. In 1830, the voyage from Marseilles to Algiers occupied ninety-six hours ; in 1857, forty-eight hours; in 1877, thirty-eight hours; in 1887, twenty-eight hours; in 1889, twenty-four hours ; and it is expected to be accomplished, by two boats that are to be built, in twenty-two hours.

War Crimes: Brutality, Genocide, Terror and the Struggle for Justice
By Aryeh Neier
New York: Times Books, 1998, 288 pp. $ 25.00.
Between Vengeance and Forgiveness:
Facing History after Genocide and Mass Violence
By Martha Minow
Boston: Beacon Press, 1998, 192 pp. $ 24.00.
Allegations of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity have received considerable press coverage in recent years–more than at any time since Nuremberg. Yet this is not because the incidence of such barbarities has increased. The crimes are simply brought to our attention more rapidly these days, by the media and by what Aryeh Neier calls the "international human rights movement," which has an ambitious agenda for handling such crimes.
It is this agenda that emerges most clearly from Neier's War Crimes, and not the now-familiar narrative of atrocities he presents to support it. Neier's real objective is to assert the primacy of "international law" over the nation-state, and of criminal prosecution over alternative methods of dealing with the worst offenders. For a sense of how Neier's model of international law would work, look to the recent arrest in London of General Augusto Pinochet. Describing the matter to The New York Times, Professor Diane F. Orentlicher–one of Neier's cohorts–said triumphantly that "crimes against humanity transcend the concerns of the countries where the abuses are committed. In theory, there should be no safe haven for world-class criminals." This language would be right at home in Neier's new book. It encapsulates the euphoric impracticality of his approach.
Slight of Hand
In building his case for robust international law, Neier's first step is to insist on calling it "binding international law"–the extra adjective obviously intended to carry weight. He uses "binding" to redefine what is generally called "customary international law," describing it (inaccurately) as rules that "bind a government regardless of whether it has formally ratified a treaty accepting their obligations." This notion, that states and individuals can be bound by an "international law" that they may never have consented to, has surface appeal because it sounds familiar to citizens used to living under the rule of law domestically. By exporting the terminology of national legal systems into international affairs, Neier implies that there is strong similarity between the two realms. From this it follows that the legal and political principles and institutions of domestic systems can also operate between sovereign states.
Neier barely argues this point, because he believes it to be either self-evident or universally accepted. Both assumptions are incorrect. To claim that the concepts and structures of international law mirror domestic law is simply wrong. In assuming they do, Neier's argument is detached from real international relations and actually dangerous.
In reality, international law, especially customary international law, meets none of the tests we normally impose on "law." In common-sense terms, law is understood as a system of rules that regulate relations among individuals and associations–and between them and the government (the source of coercive authority that can enforce compliance with the rules). In the modern era, that government is considered legitimate to the extent that it stems from and represents the popular will.
To have real law in a free society, there must be a framework (a constitution) that defines the government's authority, thereby limiting it and preventing the exercise of arbitrary power. As C. H. McIlwain wrote, "all constitutional government is by definition limited government." And there must also be political accountability, ensured through popular controls on the creation, interpretation, and enforcement of laws.
In "international law," neither of these requirements is met. There is no attempt to link international authority to the political consent of the global population, to find true democratic legitimization. Lacking a constitution, international law has no definitive dispute-resolution mechanism (the role played domestically by courts), or any agreed-upon enforcement, execution, or compliance mechanisms (short of warfare). Governments often follow only those "laws" that suit their interests and ignore those that do not, with relative impunity. None of the international organizations that exist today could pass for accountable law-giving, law-interpreting, or law-enforcing bodies. Even Neier implicitly concedes this point. In his chapter on the United Nations, for example, the most praise he can muster is that "it is not the utter failure its harshest critics contend."
Of course, none of this means that nations can abjure or ignore treaties, or even customary international law, at will. But while treaties may well be politically or even morally binding, they are not legally obligatory. They are just not "law" as we apprehend the term. And what happens to countries when they do not adhere to international law on some matter? Usually nothing. Why, then, do we continue to talk about international "law"? Because the word has a strong emotive appeal. As one British commentator put it in 1945, replacing "international law" with "international custom" meant that "these international rules may lose some of the respect in which they are now held. . . . It will follow from the fact that the word 'law' is nowadays more highly charged with a certain kind of emotion (namely the emotion of unquestioning obedience) than the word 'custom.'"
Emptying international treaties and custom of their "legal" authority does not, of course, preclude nation-states from prosecuting and convicting perpetrators of crimes against humanity–domestically. Indeed, a national approach might be preferable; effective catharsis best occurs when a population independently comes to grips with its past and administers justice on its own. But that is not what Neier wants. He wants international rules that bind nation-states because he does not trust states to do the right thing, and he wants the brand-new International Criminal Court to ride herd on inadequate national tribunals. In short, he wants international law, not national law, to reign supreme.
Moral Rigor Mortis?
Following his bid for "binding international law," Neier makes a second, fundamental mistake: he insists that those responsible for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity should be tried and punished without exception and without ever considering other alternatives. For Neier and his ilk, there should be no plea bargains, no pardons, and no amnesties. The erstwhile national director of the ACLU has become a zealous Global Chief Prosecutor.
But Neier, in his utopian zeal, misses a crucial distinction. In Western legal systems, the overwhelming bulk of criminal offenses have no political content. They are not "crimes against the state"; they reflect no clash between larger ideological, religious, ethnic, or economic interests; and they are not regionally concentrated. Today, even the most radical class-based jurisprudence does not justify criminal behavior as a legitimate protest against society's ruling structures. Accordingly, there is generally no reason for national judicial systems to be concerned with the social implications of particular crimes. Citizens and jurists need consider the severity of the sentence, the possibility of pardon or forgiveness, and a host of other variables only in the context of the specific violation.
Crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide, by contrast, are highly context-specific. They are acts committed either during war (between or within nations) or by repressive regimes. When these crimes are finally addressed, it is usually during enormous social and political upheaval: the negotiation of a peace treaty, restoration of legitimate political rule, or some similar milestone. In such circumstances, there are typically other priorities to be considered than just punishing those who committed crimes during the preceding turbulence.
These issues raise questions that are as much moral or political as they are legal in nature: Once guilt is established, what are the appropriate penalties? Are reparations or economic compensation justified? Should there be a time limit on prosecutions? Amnesty? Other questions are even more clearly political: How will the warring parties live with each other in the future? How will the underlying causes of the previous inhumanity be expunged (through programs such as de-Nazification, for example, or more recent Eastern European lustration efforts)? Can the truth of what actually happened ever be established (through truth commissions, for example) so that succeeding generations may avoid making the same mistakes?
Neier ignores these dilemmas; he is not satisfied by anything less than prosecution and punishment, as the title of one chapter, "The Trouble with Amnesty," makes clear. He endorses Francis Bacon's argument that the king's power to pardon should not extend to offenses that are malum in se (evil in themselves)–whatever the circumstances. Neier sees amnesties demanded by outgoing military governments as a form of terrorism and argues, "standing up to terrorism is painful. It is the same with standing up to demands for an amnesty, only more so." Neier's strategy of "one goal, one process, one result" may be appealing on the surface. But his assessment is just too simplistic. Both civil-libertarian leftists and law-and-order conservatives should agree that his approach ignores too many of the complexities and trade-offs that are essential in national and international affairs.
However it is ultimately resolved, the recent case of General Pinochet illustrates the flaws in Neier's rigid approach. The request by Spanish judge Baltazar Garzon to extradite the general from the United Kingdom provoked hosannas from the human rights cognoscenti. Had extradition been sought solely for the alleged murder of Spanish nationals, British courts could have directly considered Pinochet's criminal liability, as with any other accused murderer, and decided accordingly. In such cases, extradition may be appropriate–as when the United States sought to extradite and arrest the Libyans accused of killing Americans in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103.
But in this case, the Spanish magistrate pursued Pinochet for genocide and other crimes against humanity committed against Spaniards and non-Spaniards alike, on a theory that such crimes are amenable to "universal jurisdiction." This meant that Spain was not limited to avenging its own citizens. Yet one wonders why a Spanish judge has a greater stake in prosecuting such crimes than do the Chileans themselves. Did he consider the hard compromises already made by Chilean democrats to restore civilian rule? Most importantly, will actions such as his facilitate the removal of other authoritarian regimes, or simply entrench them further? Only those who are utterly certain of their own moral judgment could have dismissed these complexities. Neier, of course, enjoys such blithe certainty; as he writes, "amnesties are invalid when they conflict with international treaties that obligate states to prosecute and punish."
It is at this point in the debate that Minow's Between Vengeance and Forgiveness has its place. Minow reviews the alternatives to adjudication and punishment. These include South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, various forms of amnesty (as granted in former communist countries and Latin America), and reparations. Minow explores their pros and cons, and finds both–for there are indeed real advantages and problems with these alternatives to prosecution, a point Neier refuses to recognize. After all, the Pinochet affair reinforces the fact that providing realistic exit strategies to dictators (including insulation from prosecution) can make the return to democracy more likely, not less.
Yet Minow's work also shows major flaws. Her approach has more to do with the emotional and psychological responses of victims and those close to them than with larger geopolitical or legal questions. It is not, therefore, a real counterpoint to Neier's more conventional work. Minow's emotionalism and therapeutic jargon often leave one intellectually at sea, though beneath them she does identify some hard political realities.
Minow correctly notes that "litigation is not an ideal form of social action," quoting Voltaire: "'I was never ruined but twice: once when I lost a law suit, and once when I won one.'" She rejects many of Neier's broad claims for the prosecutorial option because "exaggerated assertions are bound to yield critical and even hostile disappointment," and because of the inevitable problems war-crimes trials encounter, which she describes as retroactivity, politicization and selectivity. In particular, Minow expressly rejects Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's claim that, thanks to developments in human rights law since Nuremberg, retroactivity (criminalizing an act after it is committed) is no longer a problem. Minow explains that "the claim of international consensus does not by itself create or eliminate remaining ex post facto concerns. No clear source shows that international law includes the full range of criminal and penal authority enjoyed by nation-states." To pretend that it does is dangerous and dishonest.
After considering alternatives to prosecution, Minow expresses no preference among them, other than the vague notion that "perhaps the challenge is to meet a basic need for balance and wholeness." However frustrating it seems not to have a concrete answer to Neier's approach, Minow's conclusion is correct. Neither the "one size fits all" prosecutorial strategy, nor a uniform preference for amnesty or some non-juridical alternative in every case, would be justifiable. Circumstances differ, and circumstances matter. Atrocities, whether committed abroad or at home, are almost by definition highly unusual. For precisely that reason, their resolutions should be too.
Constitutional Conflict
A particularly important point for Americans, of course, is how this debate applies to us. Proponents of international governance and justice, including many human rights activists like Neier, see the United States as the chief threat to the "new world order" they are trying to create. Neier warns darkly that "suspicion of international law has remained a potent political force" in America. Although war criminals are, in a public relations sense, easier targets for advocates of binding international law, the United States is their ultimate objective. Individual villains who commit heinous crimes may kill individuals or entire populations, but only the United States can neutralize or destroy the "new world order" itself.
Politically, this analysis is absolutely correct. If the American citadel can be breached, advocates of binding international law will be well on the way toward the ultimate elimination of Treaty of Westphalia–style nation-states. It is thus important to understand the root of American intransigence: namely, the fact that the United States and its Constitution would have to change fundamentally and irrevocably before binding international law becomes possible. This constitutional issue is not merely a narrow, technical point of law, certainly not for the United States.
The idea that treaties themselves can trump the U.S. Constitution–and thereby legally bind the United States–comes from a common misreading of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause. Article VI reads, "this Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof, and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land." Although the Supreme Court contributed to the confusion surrounding this clause, Justice Hugo Black later explained unambiguously that "this Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty," adding that an Act of Congress "is on a full parity with a treaty."
The Court has clearly distinguished between the effect of treaties in the international arena, on the one hand, and within the United States, on the other. Internationally, a treaty is primarily a compact between independent Nations. It depends for the enforcement of its provisions on the interest and honor of the governments which are parties to it. If these fail, its infraction becomes the subject of international negotiations and reclamations . . . which may in the end be enforced by actual war.
With respect to a treaty's domestic impact, however, the Court explained that a treaty may also contain provisions which confer certain rights upon the citizens or subjects of one of the Nations residing in the territorial limits of the other, which partake of the nature of [national] laws, and which are capable of enforcement as between private parties in the courts of the country.
In such circumstances, "[a] treaty, then, is a law of the land as an Act of Congress is, whenever its provisions prescribe a rule by which the rights of the private citizen or subject may be determined." By contrast, in the international arena, treaties are mere political agreements, disputes about which require political resolution — not legal adjudication.
The unique centrality and supremacy of the Constitution is reflected in the very structure of the American government. Democracies with parliamentary systems simply do not comprehend the concept of powers separated among equal branches of government. For them, when the prime minister speaks, so does the legislature. America rejected this form of government, however, before most countries adopted it. The Constitution allows any Congress to amend, by law, an earlier Act of Congress including treaties — and to unilaterally free the United States of any international obligation. The Supreme Court has made this point explicitly:
A treaty . . . is in its nature a contract between nations, and is often merely promissory in its character, requiring legislation to carry its stipulations into effect. Such legislation will be open to future repeal or amendment.
The Court directly faced the consequences of breaching a treaty and said, "whilst it would always be a matter of the utmost gravity and delicacy to refuse to execute a treaty, the power to do so was prerogative, of which no nation could be deprived without deeply affecting its independence."
If treaties cannot legally bind the United States, it follows that "customary international law"–whatever that is–cannot have any binding legal effect either. The idea that what is customary can bind the world's nations seems to assume that the Global Constitution contains a Global Supremacy Clause making customary international law trump domestic law. But of course, such a Global Constitution has yet to be written; nor is there a global government up to the task.
International law proponents dismiss these conflicts with U.S. constitutionalism as peculiarities of one country's domestic law. They argue that America's internal legal constraints are irrelevant internationally and cannot protect it from the charge of violating international law. But this is a circular argument, which simply brings us back to the question of whether international law trumps the Constitution, or vice versa–without answering it. And this approach should serve as a clear warning. One must be wary of any theory of international law so quick to declare the world's strongest and freest representative democracy to be in constant, flagrant violation, simply for adhering to its own constitution. One should be especially concerned when that constitution happens to be used as a model by liberal democracies around the world. Neier notwithstanding, the clash between America's constitutional structure and calls for the decline of the nation-state will not be resolved in the near term. But no one should ignore the coming battle, waged indirectly through books such as these.

Advanced Micro Devices is in shambles. It seems that these days the world's second largest chipmaker is churning out more bad news and fewer microprocessors. Despite the fact that the beleaguered company's current CEO Rory Read has already overseen two major workforce reductions since taking over in August 2011, it is considering another round of layoffs.
AllThingsD is reporting that senior managers at the chipmaker are now getting ready to prune their teams. While the fact that AMD is preparing for another set of layoffs is not surprising, the WSJ-owned site has learnt from multiple sources that this latest round is likely to involve fewer job cuts than the last one, which saw the company hand out as many as 1,700 pink slips.
"As we communicated during our third quarter earnings results, we expect to take further restructuring actions in the first half of 2013," an AMD spokesperson told AllThingsD in a statement. "At that time, we did not know what specifically they would consist of or if they would be material. We have not provided any updates since then and don't comment on rumor or speculation."
The cash-strapped company was recently said to have hired JPMorgan Chase to "explore options", with even an outright sale not being fully ruled out. However, CEO Read later assured employees that they weren't "actively pursuing the sale of AMD or any of our significant assets."

Ordering (and Order in) the CityNicole Stelle GarnettNotre Dame Law School Stanford Law Review, Vol. 57, pp. 1-58, 2004 Abstract: Over the past two decades, the "broken windows" hypothesis by George Kelling and James Q. Wilson has revolutionized thinking about urban policy. This now-familiar theory is that uncorrected manifestations of disorder, even minor ones like broken windows, signal a breakdown in the social order that accelerates neighborhood decline. The response to this theory has been a proliferation of policies focusing on public order. Largely missing from the academic debate about these developments is a discussion of the complex and important role of property regulation in order-maintenance efforts. This Article attempts to fill that property law gap in the public-order puzzle by tackling the complicated relationship between property regulation and order-restoration efforts.

Gaza Strip: Israel kills three Palestinians as three wounded in internal Palestinian clash
The Israeli army said troops spotted three Palestinians crawling near the Gaza Strip border fence, with one carrying a bag. Palestinians later found and brought their bodies to a Palestinian hospital, medics said. All the three victims were aged 15-18.
Also in the Gaza Strip, two armed men and a Palestinian security officer were injured in a clash in Gaza City. Witnesses said the firefight started when bodyguards of a Palestinian security official tried to stop a car carrying gunmen from the Popular Resistance Committees.
When they refused to pull over, the men opened fire at the gunmen, sparking a gunfight. One gunman was arrested, a security source said.

that's really a hella of a hot sexy great looking car!! I would get dark rims and the car will look stunning:thumbup:!
I love it
100% totally love it how much did it cost you ???? |
I'm concern on what color wheels. Not sure how high gloss black wheels will look or maybe satin. |
Looks great. I am very fond of matte colors and wish they were offered as a choice so we could go with something other then a metallic.
That is pretty cool. How long does it last?
Looks awesome.
Holy crap that looks good! How's the finish up close? I mean, can you tell it's a wrap or is the fit and finish good enough that it resembles a matte finish paint job?
Superb work! Looks fantastic!
Holy crap this looks fantastic! Does anyone know of a good place that does it on the East Coast?
looks great. i would go with black satin for wheel
When are you getting the interior wrapped white? BJ |
They cut the film on your car. I would have a problem that they most likely also cut into your finish on areas where they slipped. That's why clear bras are pre-cut so the film does not have to be trimmed on the car surface.
I saw wrapped cars at the Philly car show today. Most had surfaces full of scratches and swirls, and scratches in the flat colored surfaces. I would be careful when washing the car to make sure to use the 2 bucket method and use very clean microfiber towels to dry. Did they say you could use a spray detailer to clean the car? I was wondering how to keep the surface looking good? Your car does look good! |
I am going to wrap mine in Pink with Bright Yellow interior
that will draw attention |
Wow! That looks great.:thumbup: I love the matte color, and the black roof and accents and red/black roundels are perfect. I would go with gloss black wheels.
I guess I'm the contrarian. I'm not a fan of the wrap, matte or the Roundel defiling. :thumbdwn:
Looks good man, But the white was beautiful...
Thanks for the complements. And for those that hate it, oh well...
Not going to do a white interior. The interior is already red with gloss black. I love the original mineral white, but guys come on.... this is a giant sticker that can be removed any time so Don't stress out, plus it will protect the original paint. |
What I am not a fan of and simply can't get my head around is this fetish for black wheels. I don't get it. BMW makes some of the nicest wheels in the business and they work very hard on the level of chrome contrast along with the flame surfacing. So when you go matte it kills the flame surfacing and all its great color gradient and then you black out the wheels which kills the chrome contrast. Why? BJ |
However.... Quote:
Once again, to each their own, but you should know what some of your fellow gearheads are thinking when they see it. ;) |
