Partner with CMHC to host a "Buying and Owning a Home Seminar" in your community! October 27, 2003 OCASI Member Agencies Hello everyone, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has approached OCASI with an opportunity that will not only help your clients gain the skills and confidence to become better informed citizens, but also provide your agency with yet another vehicle that will demonstrate your ongoing commitement to your clients. I invite you to read through the program details and consider how beneficial this specialized program will be for your clients For the vast majority of Canadians, owning their own home is a lifelong dream. But making this dream come true can be a challenging - or even an overwhelming one, especially for new Canadians and those with modest incomes. To help these Canadians and anyone else interested in buying and owning their own home, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has developed the new "Buying and Owing a Home Seminar": a detailed (up to 9 hour) seminar that covers virtually every aspect of buying or owning a home. We would like to work with you to bring this seminar to newcomers in your community. "This seminar made us aware of the many details we needed to know about making a purchase. The seminar helped take the stress out of buying a home." - Seminar Participant Benefit your community - and your organization CMHC has the trained staff who are knowledgeable in all aspects of home ownership. In order to reach as many people as possible who could potentially benefit from this innovative new seminar, we need organizations like yours to partner with us, and to bring this information to your community. This partnership will not cost your organization any money. We are hoping to work with you to co-sponsor the workshop for your clients. We are also more than happy to discuss how we can deliver the workshop in a bilingual format. You can be as involved with CMHC as you would like, or you can simply host the workshop and invite your clients to attend. What will participants learn? Participants will learn everything they need to know to become more familiar and confident with the home buying and owning process. This workshop does not attempt to sell participants anything. It is an information workshop focused on helping newcomers understand what they need to know about buying a house in Ontario. Many people want more in-depth information on what type of home will best meet their needs, without feeling pressured to make any firm decisions. This seminar provides concrete, valuable tips that could save prospective home buyers thousands of dollars, and offers the tools they need to: Determine their housing needs Assess how much they can afford Plan and arrange their mortgage Build their team of housing professionals Understand day-to-day home maintenance requirements Ideal for anyone who's interested in buying a home or who simply wants to learn more about the home buying process and the responsibilities of home ownership. The seminar will be particularly appealing to: First time homebuyers Renters looking at various cost and owning options Newcomers to Canada or the Canadian housing market Students in the housing or finance fields Home owners who haven't bought a house in recent years and Organizations that help families and individuals to own their own homes. The cost to attend a "Buying and Owning a Home Seminar" is $25 per household, which covers the printing and assembly costs of the comprehensive guide that is given to all participants. Based on past seminars, the maximum number of participants should be limited to 25 people. Seminars can be delivered in various formats to ensure the needs of the participants are best met. "I had limited knowledge about purchasing a home. I found the section on up-front costs and the people you need to get involved very useful." - Seminar Participant If you have any questions or would like more information about the "Buying and Owning a Home Seminar," please don't hesitate to contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you - and I hope you will consider lending your support, and working with CMHC to help prospective home owners in our community make their dreams of home ownership come true! Sincerely, Nadia Nadia Frantellizzi Ontario Coordinator, Homeowner Education Tel: 416-218-3358 Email: email@example.com www.cmhc.ca

Open Diff – What was your best wintertime car?
1961 VW Beetle print ad, touting the car's winter superiority. Image courtesy of Alden Jewell.
A blanket of white has twice descended upon the Hemmings offices this year, and all signs point to it being a long, cold and frosty winter. On the drive home last night, traveling Bennington's unplowed street, my snow-tire-shod Volkswagen GTI tackled the hills without much complaint, but traction was still what I'd call sub-optimal, even for for conditions. This got me thinking about another Volkswagen from my distant past, a 1967 Beetle, which, when fitted with skinny lug "snow" tires, could handle the very worst a Northeast winter could dish out.
With a tire contact patch roughly the size of a quarter (not literally, but give me some artistic license) and the bulk of its weight centered over the drive wheels, the Volkswagen Beetle could plow through nearly any amount of snow, delivering a surprising amount of grip even in slush and on packed snow. Admittedly, the "forced air" heating system was about as effective as lighting a Zippo, the defroster was utterly non-existent and the car's propensity for oversteer on ice required constant attention behind the wheel, but the original Volkswagen Beetle still ranks up there with the most confidence-inspiring winter vehicles I've ever driven.
Assuming that winter is a fact of life where you live, what was the best car you've ever driven in snow? Do you have a wintertime ritual (such as mounting snow tires and throwing a bag of kitty litter in the trunk), or you leave things to fate and a set of all season radials? Do you have a "winter beater," or do you drive the same car all year long?
Open Diff – What's on your holiday wish list?

The season of giving is once again upon us, and those of us in the hobby are fairly particular about the parts that go into our cars, as well as the tools we use to wrench on them. That can make holiday gift-giving a challenge for friends and relatives because few consider junkyards a viable place to browse for presents, and fewer still have the patience to track down Snap-On route drivers to browse for holiday gift ideas. While the thought of receiving brake rotors, assorted interior parts or pitted chrome trim may not appeal to everyone, those of us with 10w-40 in our veins appreciate the effort that goes into procuring such treasured gifts.
Which, of course, brings up the question: "What, aside from a renewed subscription to all Hemmings magazines, is on your holiday wish list?" Are you looking for the unobtainable bit of bodywork necessary to complete a long-delayed restoration? A period-correct carburetor to bring a certain muscle car back to life? A compressor and spray gun so that you no longer have to be seen driving a car bedecked in a primer-gray livery?
Perhaps some of you may even be hoping for the keys to a Series I Jaguar E-Type, or to a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, while others would be content with a replacement 3/8-inch-drive metric socket set. Let us know what you're hoping for, automotive-wise, this holiday season.
Open Diff – Is any car too valuable to drive?

A recent Hemmings Find of the Day spurred some reader objections to my comment that a car restored to "better than new" condition – with every nut, bolt and chalk mark existing precisely as the car rolled off the assembly line – may be too valuable to drive on a regular basis. While we're all for exercising cars on a regular basis, we're realists, too, and understand that owners who have gone to extreme lengths of time and finances to construct their vision of the "perfect" car may be reluctant to risk damage or wear by racking up non-essential miles. This, in turn, leads us to a question: Is there such a thing as a car that's too valuable to drive?
Before you fire back an answer, let's ponder a few fictional scenarios. Say, for example, a long-lost relative from across the pond surfaces, and bequeaths you an original, never-titled 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, with nothing but delivery miles on the odometer. Assuming that you can afford the cost of importation, maintenance and collector car insurance, is the car, in its wholly original state, too valuable to drive? If the expenses of ownership and upkeep weren't a burden, does such a car have more value in a museum, preserved in a truly original state, than on public roads?
Mercedes-Benz constructed 867 300 SL coupes in 1955, the highest production year. That would make such a fictional car valuable, but not exactly irreplaceable. Damage a panel, and replacements can be sourced; wear out a mechanical component, and the same (generally) holds true. For a second example, then, let's go a bit more extreme and raise the same question in regard to Juan Manuel Fangio's Mercedes-Benz W196, sold in July for an auction-record price of $29.65 million.
For the buyer, clearly the financial cost of running the car is of little concern, but what about the other potential costs of operating the car? As a racer, the Mercedes can't be driven on the street, and no one brings a car to a race track for casual laps at wholly safe speeds. If the W196 is exercised as its designers and builders intended, the risks to the car become substantial; what would the liability of a tire failure at triple-digit speeds be (suspending, for a moment, the risk to life and limb)? Factor in other cars, as in a vintage race event, and the risk (and with it, the potential cost) goes up exponentially. Stack this particular race car, and recreating parts becomes only a minor concern; as a one-of-one example with strong ties to a historic figure from the glory days of Grand Prix racing, do the risks of operation outweigh the benefits?
There are plenty of other scenarios that I could pitch for illustration, but I'm sure you get the point. Now, then, back to the question: Is there such a thing as a car that's too valuable to drive?
Open Diff – Will any cars never become collectible?

Look in the comments of Kurt's recent Cadillac Cimarron story – or, for that matter, any of his Lost Cars of the 1980s stories – and you'll find plenty of naysayers to decry a car as unworthy of a collector's fancy to go along with plenty of supporters who remember the car fondly (or, at least, fondly-ish). While the mix varies, we always seem to hear from at least one or a handful of people who would like to have another example of that car, whatever it may be, and that got us to wonder whether any cars could ever become so completely undesirable that nobody would ever collect them?
Of course, plenty of us under the age of, say, 85 have heard from older auto enthusiasts that anything built on a production line or anything built after World War II was merely everyday transportation and not worth even a second glance. I recall reading a Special Interest Autos article from 1973 that asked whether any car or truck from the 1960s would ever become collectible. Yet as we see every day here, postwar, plebeian, and Seventies and Eighties cars are receiving the collectible treatment nowadays.
I've always subscribed to the belief that the collector car market is driven by nostalgia and that cars one generation thought of as disposable will become the next generation's sought-after must-have item. Think of it like the peaks and troughs of a wave – every old car goes through a period when it's just a used car, of little interest to most people, but then the passage of time and the march of generations helps to lift its profile. In other words, just because you (or I, or the next guy) don't appreciate an older car doesn't mean that the entire world thinks the same way or that you (or I, or the next guy) has outlined The One True Philosophy Of Collector Cars.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Will anybody ever restore a 1980 Oldsmobile Omega? Will anybody ever specialize in keeping four-door Ford Fiestas and LH-series Chryslers and Kia Sportages on the road? And by asking these questions, do I sound too much like those people who once claimed nobody would ever care about old Edsels and Vegas and every other car built since FDR was president?
Open Diff: Where do you draw the line between restoration project and parts car?
Photo by Carol M. Highsmith, courtesy Library of Congress.
The recent Lambrecht Chevrolet auction in Pierce, Nebraska, saw a plethora of low-mileage cars from the 1950s and 1960s change hands at (often) jaw-dropping prices. Heard from buyers of several lots was that the cars weren't purchased for preservation or for restoration, but instead were bought for their unobtanium content of rare spare parts.
That got us thinking about the often-blurry line between a parts car and a full-on restoration project. At what point do you throw in the towel on a restoration and accept that a once-in-a-lifetime barn find is a financial and emotional black hole, spawned from the depths of hell to drain your bank account and crush your soul in equal measure? Conversely, when does a parts car become the basis for a logic-or-sanity-be-damned restoration project? Does money even factor into such a decision, or is it entirely based on passion?
Open Diff – How do you protect your collector car?
Not to make you all paranoid, but as collector cars appreciate in value and as they continue to gain exposure outside of our little world, they'll also become higher-profile targets for thieves. Stolen car stories are becoming more and more commonplace in our community, and with two different headline stories this week about stolen cars – the first production Volvo P1800 in Sweden and multiple Chevrolets in Monterey – it's time we all thought a little more about how secure our own cars are.
Some of you have already suggested various anti-theft measures in the comments to those previous posts, but we'd still like to hear from the rest of you: What steps do you take to make sure your car remains your car, and what are the pros and cons of each method? Have you installed hidden kill switches? Do you keep a kennel of dogs with bees in their mouths that shoot bees when they bark? Do you siphon the gas from it every time you park it? Personally, I make sure to keep a car that few other people appreciate, that doesn't look like it's worth a dime, and that barely runs when you start it – not suggesting you do the same, of course.
While we're on the topic, we are more than happy to publish stolen car notices both here and in the print edition of Hemmings Motor News – we want to see stolen cars returned to their rightful owners as much as anybody else. We do require a police report, the car's VIN, photos of the car (the more the better), a description of the car (noting drivetrain, modifications, and other identifying features), and a phone number for followups. Contact us to submit your stolen car notice.
UPDATE: Reader Dana Parno pointed out this anti-theft measure.
Open Diff – What's the value of celebrity ownership?
This is what $924,000 worth of Nomex driver's suit looks like.
Last weekend, a
1960 1969 Chevrolet pickup Baja racer once owned by Steve McQueen sold for $60,000 at an auction in Santa Monica, California. Given that the truck also had a semi-significant racing history, complete with participation in the first running of the Mexican 1000 and a win at the first off-road race held at Riverside Speedway (with Mickey Thompson as a driver), that was likely a fair price for the truck, regardless of its ownership history. At the same auction, a 1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup with a custom-built camper shell purchased by McQueen in 1978 (and reportedly driven to the airport by the late actor on his final trip to Mexico for cancer surgery) bid to a price of $70,000, but failed to meet the reserve. Likewise, a 1931 Harley-Davidson VL 74 that McQueen was reportedly restoring bid up to $75,000 without hitting the target price, while a 1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross once in the actor's stable of bikes bid to $50,000.
While these prices may seem high, they pale in comparison to the $720,000 just paid for the tweed jacket worn by McQueen in the movie Bullitt, or the $924,000 paid for the Michael Delaney-embroidered Nomex driving suit worn by the actor in Le Mans. Even the 1970 Porsche 911S that the late actor drove in the opening scenes of Le Mans fetched a significantly higher price than an "ordinary" example of the same vintage and condition, selling for $1.25 million at a 2011 RM Auction in Monterey, California.
And the celebrity fever doesn't just apply to vehicles associated with McQueen. Take, for instance, the otherwise unremarkable 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that Freddie Mercury once owned, which sold for about four times what one would expect. Or another Rolls, John Lennon's psychedelic-painted Phantom V, considered one of the most valuable cars in the world.
Which leads us to the obvious question: What is the real value of celebrity ownership? What kind of price premium would you be willing to pay for a vehicle once owned by (insert celebrity name here)? Are these purchases solid investments, or are they merely attempts to cash in on a celebrity's fame before it inevitably fades?
Open Diff – What car will beat the Fangio Mercedes W196's record auction price?
Record-setting Mercedes-Benz W196 00006/54. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
While many observers correctly predicted that Juan Manuel Fangio's 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 would sell for a significant sum of money earlier this month at the Bonhams Goodwood auction, none could have foreseen the ultimate $29.65 million hammer price, which easily set the record for a car sold at public auction, beating the 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa that drew a winning bid of $16.4 million at Gooding's 2011 Pebble Beach auction and coming within sight of the overall record price for the sale of a collector car: $35 million for 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, as paid last summer.
Obviously, it takes some serious credentials for a car to sell for that kind of money. The Fangio Mercedes, one of the legendary Silver Arrows, not only served as the Maestro's steed, but also took a couple of grand prix wins in the process. The Testa Rossa is the first of its kind, and the 250 GTO was once driven by Sir Stirling Moss (as was the Mercedes W196). Not just any Silver Arrow or 250 GTO can make those claims; a car has to be – at the very least – unique and significant to command record-setting money.
So with auction prices upwardly mobile and desirable cars selling for jaw-dropping prices these days, what do you suppose the next record-setting car will be? Will it be a racing car with a significant provenance and history of wins, will it be a rare factory prototype or will it be a limited-volume production model? Will its nose carry a three-pointed star, a pair of wings, a prancing horse, a horseshoe-shaped radiator or some other significant distinguishing mark?
While we're on the topic, is there a limit to auction pricing, or will prices continue their climb into the stratosphere? Will we soon look back at these prices and lament for the good old days of six-figure muscle cars and eight-figure Ferraris?
Open Diff – Should auto museums sell off donated vehicles?
Auto museums serve an important role in the collector car world. They allow enthusiasts to drool over cars they might never get a chance to own, yes, but they also provide historical context to automobiles, and they help build appreciation for older vehicles among younger generations and non-enthusiasts. So it's easy to understand why enthusiasts can get a little sensitive when word comes down that a museum has decided to deaccession vehicles from its collection, as happened with the recently sold Fangio Mercedes-Benz W196 and is going on now with the Petersen Automotive Museum's collection; we almost feel that museums are a collective expression and that the vehicles within are public treasures.
But the truth is, while (most) museums are non-profit endeavors, (most) aren't public institutions. At the same time, museums feel the pressures of maintaining viability, visibility and relevance, so changing exhibits in and out helps keep the museum from becoming stale and forgotten, and occasionally that means selling off vehicles from the museums' collections. That practice becomes controversial when it becomes apparent that many vehicles in auto museums were donated to the museum.
On the one hand, it's almost standard practice: The donor gets a tax write-off, the donated vehicles get sold, the museum gets more money to keep operating and keep its collection fresh. On the other hand, we get attached to cars, and we enthusiasts don't want to see cars treated as mere fungible items by museums established to celebrate those cars.
So let us know where you stand on the issue. Is it possible to find a balance here? Should auto museums sell off donated vehicles? If not, how should they deal with donated vehicles?
Open Diff – How would you have saved your favorite defunct automotive marque?
The comments on yesterday's Packardbakers post included many from people who had some thought-provoking ideas on what they would have done if they'd have been in control of the Packard marque in its waning years. Obviously, their mission would have been to save Packard and, in some cases, prevent it from becoming simply a Studebaker with a funny face. But Packard is just one of hundreds of automakers that have gone under since the creation of the automobile, and a good many of those defunct marques have enthusiast followings that likely would appreciate seeing the companies still in business and building cars.
So how would you have saved your favorite dead car brand? This isn't to say how you would resurrect it, but how you would have stepped in sometime before the death of the marque and made some changes to ensure its survival? Would you have introduced new models or trimmed the model selection? Would you have brought in better designers or better engineers? Would you have merged companies or split them apart? And how would you have made sure the company would stick around to compete in the following decades, up to today?
So put on your thinking caps, you newly christened armchair CEOs, and let us know in the comments below.

How much would a taxi cost to get from Ft. Lauderdale to New Port Beach Resort?
And can anyone tell me if this resort is completely refurbished?
Also is the pier open again?
Thank you. Headed this way for the Oct. 14 Dolphin game.
The cost of the taxi will vary based on two things, traffic and the route taken by the cabbie. If he goes on 95 wich is the standard route, it will be around $45.00 . If you tell him to take Route 1 to Sheridon St. it will be less by at least $10.00.
Don't know about Newport refurbishment, but there are better hotel options.
The pier will not be open until December at best.
A shuttle may be cheaper. The Newport is mostly new but the original is still in use - may well depend on which one you are in. It's nice but can be busy.
Ask the driver to take US1, not I-95 which will save at least 6-7 miles.
We visit yearly, the best and least expensive route is via A1A. The taxi driver may have to use his knowledge of the area due to airport construction that may leave some routes out of the airport closed off for a while.

U2 has been crowned the biggest band in the world so many times that, at least conceptually, they've finally managed to transcend themselves, ditching their earthly digs and assuming cartoonish proportions. And that might be why the four silhouettes currently twitching across America's TV screens, jerkily promoting U2-branded iPods over big, neon expanses, seem so eerily apropos: the flesh and blood members of U2 have been reduced to signifiers, mock-ups, representatives. They are bigger than their band.
Produced by arena-guru Steve Lillywhite (with help from longtime twiddlers Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Flood), U2's 11th LP, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, is brash, grungy, and loud-- everything R.E.M. tried (and failed) to be on Monster, and everything U2 opted out of being on 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind. Still, Atomic Bomb is not an especially surprising record. It's a classic mix of colossal ballads and jerky rockers-- part-The Unforgettable Fire, part-Achtung Baby. Theoretically, Atomic Bomb weds classic U2 (echoing guitars, big sound, soaring vocals) with nu-U2 (experimental tweaks, electronic flourishes) but, high aspirations aside, the only marriage the record ultimately achieves is the union of good U2 and bad U2. So take a deep breath and prepare for a tiny handful of outstanding tracks and a whole mess of schmaltzy filler.
U2 may be a staunchly democratic machine (ask Eno), but Bono is still singularly responsible for propelling U2-as-uber-group forward, leering out from behind oversized yellow goggles, crusading righteously to reduce Third World debt, campaigning against AIDS, spitting post-Beat induction speeches from Jann Wenner's Hall of Fame podium, bobbing stupidly for Apple, talking and talking and talking about himself. Publicly, U2 are overblown and decadent, sporting silly, abstract monikers and booking colossal stadium tours, calling presidents, wearing sunglasses in the dark, anchoring the Super Bowl, pushing products. Bono is 43 years old, boasts remarkable sway both inside and outside the pop culture sphere, and fronts one of the most universally recognizable rock bands of all time: He is a neo-superstar-- global, important, impossibly entertaining, and forever tiptoeing the line between wholly extraordinary and idiotically self-obsessed.
Despite a deliberately leading album title-- and one lone, overtly suggestive song title ("Love and Peace Or Else")-- How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is a curiously apolitical record, more about love and loyalty (and the 2001 death of Bono's father) than impending global doom. The decision to sidestep bold politicking and instead highlight feelings-and-guitars is a particularly compelling one right now, given the super-charged months preceding the record's release (and the melange of global conflicts now escalating to new levels of absurdity). Listeners are left wondering if Bono's elbows-deep international activism has somehow turned him off to the (comparably nebulous) effort of writing protest songs-- has all the dirt under his fingernails made the act of emoting into a microphone seem a little less urgent? "Saving the world is now a daily chore," Bono joked to The New York Times-- even in jest, it's a completely ridiculous thing to say. And yet?
Deliberately or not, Bono-as-bespectacled-celebrity-crusader seeps into nearly everything U2 does, sometimes to significant aesthetic effect: When Bono starts cawing urgently about a place called "Vertigo", declaring it "everything I wish I didn't know," it's possible that he's talking about girls or his father or his band-- or Bono might be squealing about something far worse, something awful, something most of us are lucky enough to have never witnessed. The problem is that it's extraordinarily difficult to ever really know exactly what Bono is talking about. Almost without exception, Bono yowls vague, cliched observations, his sentiments always awkwardly bombastic or hopelessly maudlin (check "Miracle Drug," where we are invited to ponder how "Freedom has a scent/ Like the top of a newborn baby's head," or "A Man and A Woman", where we contemplate "the mysterious distance between a man and a woman," or even just repeated-- seriously!-- "Where is the love?" demands.)
Loads of listeners have already noted that opener "Vertigo" bears an odd resemblance to The Supremes' gorgeously desperate "You Keep Me Hanging On", except "Vertigo" is framed by a classic punk shout-down where-- get this!-- Bono's totally singing in Spanish! Wait, he said catorce! It's a classic U2 moment: worldly, frantic, irritatingly deliberate. But when the Edge slams into his guitar, hollering a smirky "Hola!" to Bono's quasi-confrontational "Hello, hello!" it's awfully easy to forgive: "Vertigo" is hopelessly appealing, somehow growing less stupid and more compelling with each listen.
"Vertigo" is followed by a pair of swirly half-ballads, the plodding, overblown "Miracle Drug" and the super-sappy "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", before we're mercifully handed "Love and Peace Or Else", a snarly, throbbing bit of solace. "Love and Peace" opens with a platter of ominous noise, shaky guitar grumbles rubbing up against high-pitched whines. Drums rumble, and Bono lodges his best semi-seductive demand: "Lay down, lay down." "Love and Peace" is chased by the equally exhilarating "City of Blinding Lights", an earnest and galactic fight song, and the sort of track that's best enjoyed in cars and airplanes, simply because it encites so much giddy movement. But "City of Blinding Lights" is the record's climax, and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb begins its gnawing descent almost immediately, culminating with disastrous closer "Yahweh", a whiny, monotonous mess that's easily one of the worst songs U2 have ever recorded.
Maybe the biggest problem with Atomic Bomb is just that it sounds so much like U2, and their semi-absurd, totally unparalleled ubiquity has left all of us just a tiny bit tired of listening to things that sound like U2. This isn't completely their fault-- they tried to change (see the questionable Zooropa or the disastrous Pop), and we didn't like that, either. Bono has talked publicly about U2's longevity and quasi-diversity, crediting their shape-shifting to his band's unbreakable internal bonds-- U2 can afford to mess around, because the "spirit" of the band is so strong, so infinitely recognizable. But maybe U2's immortality is also their biggest curse-- and now they're forced to wallow in superstardom, forever perpetuating their own colossal myth.

Goof: When Allan sees the mask, he crosses himself - with the wrong hand. Roman Catholics (which is the church all English belonged to until the sixteenth century) cross themselves with their right hand, not their left, which Allan did.
In a curious anachronism, the veteran of the war in the Holy Land wears modern US Army desert camouflage trousers throughout the episode.
When Robin sees Marian's new horse, he asks her if the Night Watchman has been 'dipping into profits'. It was established Marian was the Night Watchman in 'Who Shot The Sheriff?'
Sheriff: (when drawn into fighting) I hate this, this isn't much fun at all.
Prince Malik: Allah wills peace.
Sheriff of Nottingham: (to Prince Malik) We have a saying in this country. All work and no play, that's what the poor do.
Much: It's amazing what a few well-placed needles can do.
Robin: I don't think it was just the needles, Much. You understood him. You gave him hope
Much: I didn't do anything. I just listened to him
Robin: Well, maybe that's the real magic. Listening.
(Robin walks off, whistling)
Much: Why don't you listen to me more then, Master? (Robin doesn't answer him) Master!
Robin: What, sorry? Sorry, did you say something?
Much: Unbelievable. You talk to me about listening and then you don't listen!
Robin: Pardon?
Much: You talk to me about listening… (Robin smiles) Very funny. Very funny.
(Harold offers to travel with Prince Malik back to the Holy Land)
Much: You're going to go back there?
Harold: No true peace in here (touches the side of his head) until there's peace out there.
Robin: I'm afraid your hopes for peace may be in vain.
Prince Malik: Not so. Think about it, my friend. Saladin sends his finest soldiers to kill me, yet I survive. It is the will of Allah. Allah wills peace. Saladin may be ruthless but he is also a good Muslim and even he must follow the will of Allah.
Sheriff of Nottingham: (after allying himself with Robin against Saladin's assassins) Locksley, remember… business as usual tomorrow.
Robin: I look forward to it.
Prince Malik: Enough excuses! We must start the peace negotiations tonight. Every day that passes, more innocent lives are lost!
Sheriff of Nottingham: Yardy-yardy-yar.
Prince Malik: I warn you, Sheriff, I have heard aspersions cast on your honesty.
Sheriff of Nottingham: Aspersions? Surely not!
Prince Malik: Now I insist. We start the talks today or I travel to London and find Prince John myself
Sheriff of Nottingham: You see, Gisborne, this is what you have to look forward to. Already, he's starting to sound like a wife.
Prince Malik: How dare you insult me!
Sheriff of Nottingham: Two words. Peace? Off! Throw him in the dungeon.
Harold: If I'm to be destroyed, let it be a soldier's death, not an invalid's.
Much: It doesn't have to be either. Your mind, it can heal, in time. I saw the horrors, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, but I'm still…
Harold: You just saw them. I did them. See these? (Much opens Harold's shirt to find his chest covered in markings) They captured me, tormented me, tortured me until I killed my own, killed innocents. Killing was the only thing numbed the pain. I'm a monster. I'm going to hell.
Much: Who's they? Who did this to you?
Harold: Pray you never meet them.
Robin: My friends would like to know about this mask.
Prince Malik: What have you done to it? I cannot present it now!
Much: That's a gift?
Prince Malik: It was. A peace offering.
Allan A Dale: Peace? Let's stick needles in his head, see how he likes it.
Prince Malik: This is what happens when cousins marry. This is a model for teaching. Needles placed correctly on parts of the body can cure all sorts of ailments
Allan A Dale: Sounds like dodgy magic to me
Prince Malik: This is science, not magic.
Will Scarlett: What, so you're a physician, then?
Robin: You see, John, a physician. That's all.
Prince Malik: I'm not physician. I'm an ambassador. This gift for Prince John is a gift of healing, to celebrate our new peace treaty.
Robin: Prince John wants peace?
Prince Malik: I want peace. The Holy Lands are drenched in blood. Thousands of men die, on both sides. This is not the will of Allah. It is the duty of all good men to put an end to this barbarity. So I come to negotiate with Prince John and the Sheriff.
Harold: You must get the dreams.
Much: Of course. It's our punishment.
(Harold wakes up inside a cage)
Much: Don't worry. It's for your own protection. Well, ours really.
Harold: What did I do this time?
Much: Well, let's just say you… ruined the kebabs.
Harold: You don't have to lie to me.
Much: You tried to kill Djaq because she is a Saracen. Which, if I may say, is odd considering five minutes ago, you were going to burn down a Christian church. I mean, come on, make your mind up.
Harold: The Saracen! Beware the Saracen!
Much: Harold…
Harold: The Saracen destroys everything, in your mind.
Much: Listen to me. Apart from being a girl, Djaq is one of the lads. Alright? (pause) Do you know when it's going to happen, these turns?
Harold: Anything can start it. I'm watching a child fishing in the stream, and suddenly I'm looking in the water…
Much: The water's full of bodies, drowned and left to rot.
Marian: Some men take pleasure in giving women gifts.
Robin: This is a lot of gift and, tell me, was it a lot of pleasure? And how were you thinking of reciprocating?
Marian: Maybe you'd find out if you gave me a gift. As it is, you only come out of the woodwork to ask me for favours. Like now.
(Little John is unnerved by the mask)
Robin: You're not serious? The biggest man in Sherwood, jumping at shadows.
Little John: Not shadows. The Devil!
Allan A Dale: And another thing, my cousin definitely saw a man turn into a frog. He did, just outside of Dorchester.
Will Scarlett: I thought you said he was always drunk, your cousin.
Allan A Dale: Well, he is but still…
Robin: Another mouth for dinner. (he shows Much the mask; Much yells and jumps away) Not you as well!
Much: What is that?
Robin: Put it this way, I would not like to be on the receiving end of this.
Much: It looks like it's for torture
Allan A Dale: Whatever it is, that is not Christian. (Robin fiddles with the mask) Don't do that! You might cause plagues of locusts, rivers of blood.
Robin: What? Our friends are convinced a master of the dark arts is at the castle, someone from the East to scare us, a bogeyman under the bed. Come on! Look, it's working already
Guy of Gisborne: Marian and I have had a disagreement, that's all. I had hoped…
Sheriff of Nottingham: Hope? I would rather be dead than spend my life hoping. 'I hope for this', 'I hope for that'. Buy her something. A trinket or two.
(Much hesitates to care for Harold)
Robin: Well, you looked after me all these years.
Allan-A-Dale: Yeah, but… he's a menace
Much: Yes. (pause; to Allan) Do you know, I think that's the first time we've agreed on something.
Robin: It's strange. He fought like a Crusader back in Locksley.
Will Scarlett: Yeah, the wrong side by the looks of him.
Robin: No, he definitely went out with King Richard. He's beyond sides now. War has turned his mind.
Much: Crusader Sickness.
Robin: And there'll be thousands more like him while the war drags on. He needs care.
Much: So, Master, forgive me, but you found him trying to burn a church, yet you save him and not the church.
Robin: Because I could not fit the church on my horse.
(As the villagers try to drown Harold, Robin rides into the village to save him)
Villager: It's the Devil! Come to save his own!
Robin: The Devil couldn't make it, you'll have to deal with me instead.
Sheriff of Nottingham: War is so much more profitable than peace
Allan-a-Dale War in the Holy Land is 2,000 miles away, it's not our problem!
Robin Hood No, Allan, you're wrong. War is here, it's right here in the forest.
Guy of Gisborne: Marian is not the type to be bought.
Sheriff of Nottingham: Nonsense, all women can be bought.
This episode first aired in the United States on Saturday May 5, 2007.
Allan is worried that Robin will unleash 'plagues of locusts, rivers of blood' by messing around with the mask. These are two of the ten plagues visited upon the people of Egypt when the Pharoah would not free the Israelites, according to the Old Testament book of Exodus.

Hollywood Wax Museum
|Hollywood Wax Museum
|February 25, 1965
|6767 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
|Wax museum
The Hollywood Wax Museum is a wax museum featuring replica of celebrities and historical figures located on Hollywood Boulevard in the tourist district in Hollywood, California. Additional museums were opened in Branson, Missouri in 1996, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in May 2012, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2014.
The museum, the brainchild of entrepreneur Spoony Singh, opened on February 25, 1965,[1] and claims in promotional literature to be the only wax museum dedicated solely to celebrities. It is the longest-running wax museum in the United States. The lobby and most of the inside was renovated in 2006, and a new neon sign containing 1,532 incandescent lightbulbs and 1,189 feet of neon was erected in honor of the Museum's fortieth anniversary.
Sets and exhibitions[edit]
Wax figures and sets featuring celebrity and historical figures continue to change regularly. There is also a Chamber of Horrors, featuring classic and current movie monsters.
Some of the sets include:
Other locations[edit]
After Singh's retirement, his sons and grandson have continued to own, operate and further the Hollywood Wax Museum's legacy. The group opened a Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson, Missouri in 1991,[2] which was completely renovated in 2009 and was recognized with the 2011 Branson Beautification Award for improving an important stretch of the Highway 76 strip. The next Hollywood Wax Museum was opened in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in 2007 and closed in 2010 to make way for a larger Hollywood Wax Museum attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that opened in May 2012. The fourth location opened in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2014 at the Broadway at the Beach shopping center. In 1979, Singh expanded his business operations after opening the Thousand Oaks Self Storage (now known as the Hollywood Storage Center).[3]
In June 2012, the family was recognized as Heroes of Hollywood by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Community Foundation for their staunch and generous support of the Hollywood community.
In popular culture[edit]
The Hollywood Wax Museum is featured on the video game, Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Sarah J Shupe Memorial# 18893936
I did some further research and it appears that Sarah's maiden name is King. She was married twice, her first husband was Robert Lee Quinley. They married 1891.They had a son Robert Ota Quinley. She then married Wilson J. Shupe in 1897. I updated both her and her husbands memorials.
Best regards,

RE: Sarah J Shupe Memorial# 18893936
Thanks for the info. Since she is in my family tree, I'll do some digging to see if I can confirm this. Maybe she was married 2x & I have a possible married name, or the family researcher who gave me the name may have made an error. I would like to make both my tree & the memorial as correct as possible.

Sarah J Shupe Memorial# 18893936
Greetings, You recently sent me an update for Sarah, suggesting that her maiden name is Shappel. I have her in my Myers tree as Sarah King, but it has not been verified. Can you indicate your source? Is she part of your family? I would like to have the correct information. Since I cannot confirm Sarah's maiden name, I have not updated the memorial for the moment. Thanks,

RE: Havensville Cemetery, Deaver, Ellen Ruth
No, I never lived in Iowa. I was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, and now live in Fallbrook, California. My parents were the ones who did the family history searching; I helped type stuff up for a family reunion in 1977 and now I keep the info up to date and add to it as I find sources, etc., online.
As far as Lester is concerned, I searched for him on Ancestry.com after your previous post and what I gave you was what I found there.

RE: Havensville Cemetery, Deaver, Ellen Ruth
If you knew Charles and Myrtle, you may have heard of Velma and Emil Freienmuth. Those were my parents, and Velma was a Shortridge. Her father and Myrtle's mother were brother and sister.
I found Thomas Lester Deaver in Ancestry.com. His family apparently moved to Washington state between 1930 and 1940 (I found his family in both censuses), and sometime later, he moved to California. He died in Mendocino, CA in 1983. Didn't see a burial place; just found this info right after I got your message.
I also am a KU fan; graduated there in 1960.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
Inside Story | 22 Sep 2012 06:11 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Pakistan, Tunisia, United States
Muslim-Western relations are under the spotlight again after widespread protests over an anti-Islam video made in the US and cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published in a French magazine.
"There remains this misunderstanding of the other .... Whilst we're discussing a film and ... the riots we saw on the various media, actually I think it is about neither. This is all about the dynamics of power, about a people that feel that they are still being seen as lessers of an equal. And therefore any criticism that is directed towards them or their faith ... is seen as an insult, not just as a mere constructive criticism or something that ought to be taken in their stride."
- Anas al-Tikriti, the CEO of the Cordoba Foundation
Western diplomatic missions in Muslim countries are on high alert as the protests spread.
In Pakistan, the government declared Friday a national holiday to allow people to protest peacefully. But there were clashes in Peshawar and Karachi, and demonstrators have tried to storm the US embassy in Islamabad but have so far been prevented by the Pakistani armed forces.
In a bid to calm public anger the US has bought airtime, to the tune of $70,000, on Pakistani television to run a series of ads.
Victoria Nuland, the US state department spokesperson, made the announcement, saying: "In the case of Pakistan, it is common and traditional to have to buy airtime on Pakistani TV for public service announcements. So in that environment, it was their recommendation that we buy some airtime to make sure that the Pakistani people would hear the president's messages and the secretary's [Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state] messages."
The US embassy in Islamabad also sent out street interviews conducted with Americans to local media with one very clear message: that the video does not represent American values.
But, according to Blake Hounshell, the editor of Foreign Policy magazine, it is unlikely that an advertising campaign like this will make any difference to those showing anger towards the US.
"It is an interesting tactic buying TV ads on Pakistani stations," he said. "I doubt it will have much impact though. These protests ... seem to be orchestrated by hardline Islamic groups that aren't really sympathetic to these kinds of messages coming from the US government. They are looking to pressure the Pakistani government and boost their own support base. So those aren't the type of people who are going to be responsive to this kind of message."
Are apologies and condemnation enough? Do these demonstrations have the potential to alter policies? And what should be done by both sides to stem the anger and improve relations?Joining presenter Folly Bah Thibault on Inside Story to discuss this are guests: Anas al-Tikriti, the CEO of the Cordoba Foundation; David Mack, a former US diplomat; and Mehmet Kalyoncu, an advisor to the OIC ambassador to the UN.
