Concordia to start new year at St. John Lutheran
Unexpected construction delays cause temporary relocation to area church for start of 02-03 year
After saying goodbye to their old school building at 1723 West Milwaukee Avenue last spring, teachers at Concordia Lutheran School in Storm Lake knew they would be instructing students in subjects such as math and geography in a different location this fall.
They just didn't expect that place to be the Christian Education Building at the St. John Lutheran Church in Storm Lake.
Unexpected delays in the remodeling process at the parochial school's future home at the former Storm Lake Sports building on West Milwaukee Avenue have prompted Concordia officials to move classes into the local church's educational wing for the time being, allowing students at the school to study under one roof until work is completed at their new home in early spring.
While parents, students and faculty were hoping to see the West Milwaukee building open by the time classes start on Aug. 21, new Concordia principal Fred Krueger said the change of venue to St. John Lutheran was simply part of a transitional process for the school.
"When you expand and grow you sometimes have to take baby steps at first, because if you try to take giant steps before you're ready you might fall over," Krueger, who moved to Storm Lake from Fulda, Minn., last spring, said. "Things are proceeding pretty well right now. I think we all know it will be better in the long run if we take our time and do this right rather than try to rush and do something quickly that isn't as good in the long run."
Expected enrollment at the third-year school is 50 students, and Krueger said the rooms at St. John should provide ample space for pupils.
"St. John has a large educational building, so we should have no problems for the kids spacewise at all," Krueger said. "The classrooms there are very compatible for what we will need, and we feel fortunate that St. John has been gracious enough to let us use it this year."
The construction setbacks have not caused any delays in the school's expansion plans, however, as Concordia will add a new fifth and sixth grade section. The extra section will be taught by Krueger, one of three new teachers at the school this fall. Melissa Lund will teach kindergarten, while Susan Barlow will be the new third and fourth grade instructor.
Krueger said support from parents and others in the community has been very helpful this summer, and that bodes well for Concordia.
"We've had a lot of cooperation from everyone in town," Krueger said. "We've been fortunate to have this kind of great support in town."

8 More Changes "American Idol" Should Make To Shake Things Up
I am panicking about what "American Idol" is about to become. First, we find out that Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres are being replaced by J.Lo and Steven Tyler, who I thought was in rehab. And now they tell us that they are changing the audition process, too. The show announced that they are now accepting online submissions of which a few of the best will be chosen to move directly to L.A. Arrghhh! Too many changes at once! [Us Weekly]
But while they're at it, here are some more suggested changes to shake things up.
- Change the name. "Young People Sing For Has-Been Celebrities Who Are Getting Paid Too Much."
- Raise the age limit to 50. That should at least make the audition process more fun. And maybe they'll find the next Susan Boyle.
- Let the contestants perform their original material so we can tell if their album is going suck.
- All guest judges are required to do a medley with the contestants.
- Take away America's right to vote for their favorite contestants. They always get it wrong.
- Bring back Simon Cowell via satellite to roll his eyes while the contestants perform and the judges weigh in.
- Stop filming in front of a live audience so the contestants don't get all nervous and bite it.
- Replace Ryan Seacrest with a motorized puppet.
What would you like to see change about "American Idol"?

The oft-injured Zach Miller has been bit by the injury bug and now he is on IR with an undisclosed injury and replaced on the roster by T.J. Heath, according to the Florida Times-Union's Tania Ganguli. Miller was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 6th round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. He was a QB in college, but the Jaguars decided to select hm as a tight end. Zach Miller has been infamous for getting injured in training camp and the early part of the season. Despite this, he has flashed freakish athletic ability as a tight end.
Zach Miller has 45 catches, 470 yards, and 4 TDs in his 3 years. While it is pretty decent production for a 6th round pick, it probably won't be enough to keep the Jaguars from looking at tight ends in the draft next year. T.J. Heath signed as an undrafted rookie free agent from Jacksonville State. He is probably going to provide depth to the cornerback position, which is depleted due to Derek Cox being injured. Another way to look at it is that it proivides depth in case Rashean Mathis is ultimately traded before the 4 pm deadline today.Tags: 2009 NFL Draft, Football, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, Jaguars, NFL, Rashean Mathis, T.J.

Hi everyone!
Im not quite sure if this is the right place to ask help but I guess im in a desperate move.
I just bought this item http://videohive.net/item/unfold-photo-slideshow/164176
I wanted to add more photos. I'm a newbie though I was able to add photos on my own on other AEtemplates but I am having a hard time with this one.
Here's what I did,
1.extended the time duration to make way for my additional photos 2. I tried duplicating the last composition with the last photo 3.replace it with new photo.
The problem is when I preview it, I still see the same photo from the last composition being animated.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
By the way, I tried sending a message to the author but to no avail.
I don't know how that particular file you have works but in after effects duplicating a file is not that intuitive, since it will duplicate or create a new instance depending of the place where you are doing the operation. Also, if there are nested composition (usually is like this) you can duplicate the top comp but the nested comp will be instances. Probably this is the issue you are facing.
Anyway, you can try using this script: http://aescripts.com/true-comp-duplicator/ it will create a true copy of a composition and the nested comps inside.
Hi Doru,
Thank you for your response. I did review the script and it seems like its the one i needed! I'll give it a try and thank you for your brilliant suggestion.
I let you know when I prosper with this one.
Hi Doru,
I watched the video about the script. The example shown was a text instead of an image replacement. Does it work on images as well?
yes, it works on compositions with images inside too, but the main issue is to study how the project was build, to understand what composition you need to duplicate. That is the complicated part practically.
Actually you can do manually what the script does if you know what you need to change. That script just cuts a lot of boring copy and replace steps.
Hi Doru,
Sorry for this late reply. With what you said, I'll give it a try.
Thank you so much and wish me luck!

Among all the questions surrounding the conduct of West Valley City police officers and management of the department, there is one that can and should be answered, and soon: Is it time for the city to disband its police operations and instead join the Salt Lake County Unified Police Department?
Such a step would have widespread ramifications for police officers, the city and its residents and should not be done without thorough study. But it should be seriously considered.
There are reasons to doubt the ability of West Valley City to provide high-quality police services to its residents. The office of the U.S. attorney for Utah says it will dismiss eight federal cases, and Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill has dismissed 19, all because of poor investigation by the city's now-defunct narcotics squad. The total number in the county could rise to 100.
The fatal shooting of unarmed drug user Danielle Willard by plainclothes detectives in November has not been adequately explained or justified. The four-year investigation into the disappearance of Susan Powell has yielded no arrests or information that might have helped prevent the murders of her two young children.
One city detective, Shaun Cowley, was involved in the botched drug investigations and the fatal shooting. His attorney says Cowley was simply behaving in the accepted manner of the narcotics squad.
A citizens committee charged with investigating citizen complaints and police conduct has kept its deliberations secret. Its members are nominated by the police chief and an officer sits on the board, casting doubt on the panel's ability to provide objective oversight. Repeated calls for an accounting of the Willard shooting brought no answers. Cowley, and probably other narcotics officers, apparently were allowed to make their own rules. The police chief who could provide some insight has resigned.
The response of the mayor and City Council to possible corruption and the lack of oversight has been lukewarm. The council will consider some tweaking of the review board, and Cowley may lose his job. But that is not enough.
If there were no alternative to a city-run police department, then city leaders should at least look for a tough new police chief from outside who could clean up this mess. But there is another option: the well-run county UPD. The WVC department undoubtedly comprises many fine officers who do not deserve to lose their jobs. But the UPD would need to hire more officers to cover West Valley and it seems certain many would be retained.
It could be the best solution.

Location of Land Records
Upper Canada Land PetitionsUpper Canada Land Petitions (UCLP) are the actual Petitions for land which were submitted in Upper Canada (Ontario). They frequently contain information about the petitioner and his or her family. Loyalists and discharged soldiers often mentioned the regiment in which they served. There were two types of land petitions:
Land Books
Land Books are basically a summary of land grants. They rarely contain more info than name, date and location. Sometimes they have little gems in the comment section. But they're helpful because if you can't find a petition in the UCLP it may be in the Land Book so at least you have some record of the event.
Township PapersTownship Papers are a miscellaneous group of land-related records have been arranged by township name, then by concession and lot or by town name and lot number. They're a mixed bag - they may contain correspondence re land, some petitions, copies of orders-in-council, etc
Abstract indexes to DeedsThe Abstract Indexes to Deeds are the indexed record of every transaction on a plot of land since it left Crown ownership. Fathers willed land to sons or to wives or daughters. Men parcelled off smaller sections of land and sold it to sons. Brothers settled near each other, or on the same land. Armed with the Abstract Indexes to Deeds you can check for every instance of your name of interest on that parcel of land. By referring to the date and Instrument Number found with each transaction, you can look up the complete record. You may find a will (Many wills are filed in the Land Records Offices) or other important document.
Free GrantsUp to 1826 free land grants were available to all settlers, to government favourites, and to UEL (Loyalist) children. In 1826 these free grants were abolished except Loyalist grants and soldiers, and anyone wanting Crown land had to buy it.
The Canada CompanySettlers could also buy lands from the Canada Company, a private company owning all of the Huron District. These records are held at the Archives of Ontario. All land sales after the initial Crown grant were registered with local land registry offices.
Assessment & Tax RecordsAssessment and Tax Records contain location of an individual's land. There are very early assessment records, but each area in Ontario has different surviving records, so you must check for the county or township of interest to you.
CLRI (Computerized Land Records Index)Also called the Ontario Land Record Index, this summarizes land grants from sales of Crown Land, from Canada Company sales or leases and from Peter Robinson settlers' grants. If your ancestor settled anywhere in Ontario and he was the first time buyer of Crown Land, he will be on these lists. A CLRI lookup service [$] is available online.

Drug addiction is a chronic illness characterized by high rates of relapse. Relapse to drug use can be triggered by re-exposure to drug-associated cues, stressful events, or the drug itself after a period of abstinence. Pharmacological intervention to reduce the impact of relapse-instigating factors offers a promising target for addiction treatment. Growing evidence has implicated an important role of the orexin/hypocretin system in drug reward and drug-seeking, including animal models of relapse. Here, we review the evidence for the role of orexins in modulating reward and drug-seeking in animal models of addiction and the potential for orexin receptors as specific targets for anti-relapse medication approaches.
The orexins (also known as hypocretins) are peptide neurotransmitters expressed in neurons exclusively in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and the adjacent regions of the perifornical area (PFA) and dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) [
In their original report, Sakurai
Different types of orexin receptor antagonists have been developed over the last few years (for review, see [
The widespread orexin innervation and distinctive expression of orexin receptors in the brain suggest that orexin plays multifaceted functions. Initially, orexin was named for appetite-enhancing effects [
Recently, the orexin system has been implicated in substance abuse and addiction. The interaction between the orexin system and drugs of abuse was first suggested by evidence that chronic nicotine treatment increased the expression of orexin and orexin receptors in hypothalamic regions [
Drug addiction is a chronic illness with high rates of relapse (reviewed in [
Animal models that approximate the symptoms of human addiction have proven to be a crucial approach to further our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of drug addiction. These animal models also offer a means to systematically test new treatment approaches for drug addiction. In the following section, we will focus on three animal models that have been applied to study the role of the orexin system in drug addiction and relapse.
Drug self-administration is a widely used animal model across species in preclinical drug addiction research. Of the different animal models, self-administration best mimics conditions of human addiction, whereby the subject controls drug delivery and manifests drug-seeking behaviors. Typically, a catheter is surgically implanted in a jugular vein of the animal. After recovery, animals intravenously self-administer a drug under a standard operant schedule of reinforcement, usually by lever-press or nose poke. Drug infusions are usually paired with stimuli, such as a light and/or tone, which both facilitate the acquisition of self-administration and takes on the properties of a conditioned stimulus. Self-administration is generally divided into an acquisition phase, followed by a maintenance phase, when animals show stable daily responding. A number of variations have been developed in self-administration models across a wide array of abused drugs, including the use of varied schedules of reinforcement, different periods of daily access, and parameters of stimulus presentation.
The most commonly used animal model of relapse following drug self-administration is the extinction-reinstatement paradigm. Once stable self-administration is established and maintained, animals undergo extinction of responding, whereby access to the drug is discontinued. During the extinction phase (which can occur within a single session or across multiple sessions), responding on the device previously resulting in drug delivery and cues has no programmed consequences. After drug-seeking is extinguished to a criterion level, reinstatement of extinguished drug-seeking can be trigged by a priming injection of the drug, a previously drug-paired cue, or a physical (e.g., foot shock) or pharmacological (e.g., yohimbine) stressor. Reinstatement of drug-seeking after extinction implies the restoration of a concrete operant response, and this animal model has relevance to human relapse [
Several studies have examined the role of the orexin system in the acquisition and maintenance of drug self-administration. For cocaine self-administration, OX1R-mediated signaling regulates cocaine intake depending upon the schedule of reinforcement. For example, under a fixed ratio (FR) 1 schedule, acute systemic administration of SB-334867 or intra-VTA administration of OXA did not affect the acquisition and maintenance of cocaine self-administration [
Under an FR schedule, ethanol and nicotine self-administration is decreased by SB-334867 and increased after intracranial OXA administration [
On the first day of extinction, animals typically display a burst of activity, with behavioral responses at the same level or higher than those seen during self-administration. The elevated responses can be interpreted as drug-seeking elicited by re-exposure to the drug-paired context, despite the lack of drug availability and drug-paired cues. In rats previously trained for cocaine self-administration, acute pretreatment of SB-334867 on the first day of extinction attenuated the burst response on that day. However, this attenuation effect was only shown on the treatment day, as extinction responding was similar to vehicle-treated animals on subsequent sessions [
Following extinction, direct activation of the orexin system can produce reinstatement of a previously extinguished response. Both intracerebroventricular (icv) and intra-VTA administration of OXA reinstate extinguished cocaine-seeking in animals with a prior history of cocaine self-administration [
As for other drugs, the reinstatement of alcohol-seeking induced by alcohol-associated cues was attenuated by SB-334867 treatment both immediately after extinction or following protracted abstinence, a model that may better mimic human alcoholism [
Conditioned place preference (CPP) is a widely-used animal model for the measurement of the rewarding effects of drugs of abuse. CPP refers to the development of preference for an environment that has previously been paired with noncontingent drug administration (reviewed in [
In regards to the orexin system, CPP has been primarily used for testing the orexin mediation of morphine CPP, with studies showing a role of the orexin system in the acquisition, expression, and reinstatement of morphine CPP. The acquisition of morphine CPP was associated with increased activity of orexin neurons in the LH, as determined by Fos+/orexin+ double-labeled neurons [
For amphetamine CPP, a high (30 mg/kg), but not low (10 mg/kg) dose of SB-334867 blocked the expression of CPP [
Drug-induced hyperlocomotion and behavioral sensitization are both widely used as measures of the effects of acute and repeated drugs of abuse (see [
To date, studies on the role of the orexin system in drug-induced hyperlocomotion and sensitization are fairly limited. In drug-naïve rats, systemic administration of SB-334867 (10 mg/kg) failed to affect hyperlocomotion induced by acute systemic cocaine administration at the dose of 15 mg/kg [
As for other drugs, ethanol-stimulated hyperactivity was dose-dependently attenuated by SB-334867 pretreatment [
Most studies on the role of orexin in drug addiction have focused on the role of OXA and the OX1R. The role of OX2R in addiction has not been well explored, due to the lack (until recently) of selective OX2R antagonists.
Gender differences in addition have been previously documented, with a number of studies suggesting that women are more susceptible to the addictive properties of drugs of abuse as compared to men (see [
Although the exact mechanisms underlying these sex differences remains unclear, it has been demonstrated that gonadal hormones play a critical role. For example, estrogen facilitates drug-seeking, drug-induced CPP, and locomotor sensitization, while progesterone counteracts the effects of estrogen [
In conclusion, growing evidence has confirmed the critical role of the orexin system in drug addiction. Specifically, OX1R-mediated signaling is involved in drug-taking and drug-seeking behavior, including self-administration, extinction, and relapse. Other measures of the behavioral effects of drugs of abuse, including CPP and behavioral sensitization, confirm a contributing role for orexin. Specific brain regions likely mediate the action of orexin in these behaviors, as previous studies have indicated that distinct neural pathways mediate motivated drug-seeking [
Orexin likely influences addiction-related behaviors
OX1R is coupled exclusively to a Gq subclass of G proteins, while OX2R is coupled to both Gq and Gi/o proteins [
Finally, our preliminary data demonstrate a sexually dimorphic effect of OX1R inhibition on drug-seeking behavior. However, the neuronal mechanisms behind the sexual dimorphism remain unknown. Future experiments will need to characterize the expression and localization of orexin receptors in different brain areas, and the pharmacokinetics of orexin peptides and antagonists in both sexes. The influence of gonadal hormones on the orexin system is also likely to be a major contributor. Understanding the differential role of the orexin system in drug addiction will help facilitate gender-specific treatment approaches.

Volume 9, Issue 1: Presbyterion
Douglas Wilson
The form of this advice comes from Caesar Augustus--festina lente, which means "make haste slowly." As we confront the need for reformation in the church today, those who love the status quo are distressed that we are talking of making haste at all, while those who have gone around the revolutionary bend are distressed at our "compromise" in undertaking the work of reformation so slowly and deliberately. Both need to take these words from an old reprobate pagan to heart.

text: November 8, 2013 ─ With Montréal's reputation as such an open city, it's hard to imagine there was a time when it was walled in, literally. But if you're interested in a peek of the city of old, make sure you visit the Ruelle des Fortifications, part of the World Trade Centre Montréal's atrium, in the Quartier international (Montréal's business district). The Ruelle stands on the former site of the old city's walled fortifications, which were built in 1717 and demolished between 1804 and 1812. Today, this historic "back alley" is back to being built up, but now it's nestled between a mix of old greystones and modern buildings and covered by a soaring glass ceiling, which makes for a bright, airy and elegant walkway. Near the fountain you can see a statue of Poseidon's wife, Amphitrite, and further along the passageway is a remnant of the Berlin Wall, a gift to Montréal for its 350th anniversary. Most of the Ruelle is lined with restaurants, cafés and many upscale boutiques, so if you're looking for a special Montréal find, this may just be the right place. You can access the Ruelle des Fortifications by Montréal's giant interconnected underground pedestrian network.

9 Year Old NJ Girl Kills Gun Instructor in Accident
An accident involving a 9 year old New Jersey girl has left a gun instructor dead.
The girl was taking lessons from Charles Vacca, 39, in Arizona. The girl apparently lost control of the Uzi she was using when it recoiled. It flew over her head and a bullet struck Vacca.
He was airlifted to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"This is a rarity for something like this to happen," a spokesperson with the Mohave County Sheriff's Office told the Los AngelesTimes.
The shooting range is named "Bullets and Burgers" and has a minimum age requirement of 8 years old. The sheriff's office released video of the lessons just before the accident.
The girl was on vacation in Arizona with her family.

I'm a newbie and this might be simple but am going around in circles for now. I want to get rid of the DeclarativeCatalog Part and implement my own system for adding my custom web parts to a page. I'm aware that I can use the WebPartManager object to add Web Parts, and the syntax off the WebPartManager object is:
WebPartManager.AddWebPart(WebPart, WebPartZone, ZoneIndex)
My question is how to get the "handle" to the given custom Web Part. Ex:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="psp" TagName="ButtonBar" Src="./UserControls/ButtonBar.ascx" %>
DimButtonBar1 As WebPart ButtonBar1 = [don't know what to put here] (I looked into using the CreateWebPart method but seems to work only as a wrapper for non-webparts).
wpm.AddWebPart(ButtonBar1, pspZone1, 0)
Would appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Also, some of the custom web parts are written as user controls (like the example above), and others are written as true web parts, so it would be great to have a solution that accomodates both approaches.
Thanks much in advance for any help....

You can try something like this..should work.
Dim wpm as WebPartManager = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Me.Page) Dim gwp As GenericWebPart = wpm.CreateWebPart(LoadControl("UserControls/ButtonBar.ascx")) wpm.AddWebPart(gwp, pspzone1, 0)
May 23, 2007 12:35 PM|SBRADBERY|LINK
Thanks Matt this was a big help....
I'm getting this runtime error though in the bolded section below:
"The specified control of type 'ASP.PsPortals_ButtonBar_UserControl' does not have an ID."
Dim wpm1 As WebPartManager = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Me.Page)
Dim gwp As GenericWebPart = wpm1.CreateWebPart(LoadControl("./UserControls/ButtonBar.ascx"))
wpm1.AddWebPart(gwp, pspZone_LogView, 0)
I tried adding a ClassName to the UserControl, (as per example in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c0az2h86.aspx), but that did not clear the error. Do you have any idea what "ID" it is talking about?
Thanks much again I think I'm close...
May 23, 2007 01:07 PM|SBRADBERY|LINK
Ok....I got it working - I had to break out the creation of the webpart into a seperate step and assign an ID to it. Not completely sure why, but it works just fine now. Final code was:Dim wpm1 As WebPartManager = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Me.Page)
ButtonBar1 = LoadControl("./UserControls/ButtonBar.ascx")
ButtonBar1.ID ="ButtonBar" Dim gwp As GenericWebPart = wpm1.CreateWebPart(ButtonBar1)
wpm1.AddWebPart(gwp, pspZone_LogView, 0)
Thanks again
May 23, 2007 03:04 PM|matt_cyr|LINK
That's what I would suggest doing. The Control needs an ID in order to be turned into a WebPart.
So you will have to separate the code into the 2 lines like you did.
Same will need to be done if you are loading a webpart class as well i believe.

We Are Brand New
Throughout the fall conference, I had been prefacing every comment or question, every new introduction, with "I'm brand new, only six weeks in as a program officer." I heard many others, too, more than I expected, who are only a few months, or, in several cases, a few days into the incredible (and exciting and overwhelming) world of community foundations. The plenaries, the sessions, and especially the colleagues at our tables from all across the country were our education this week.
I started saying "I'm brand new" to mean "I don't know anything yet," but perhaps instead of apologizing for my lack of direct experience in a community foundation, I should have used "I'm brand new" to mean "I believe anything is possible." I thought I would leave the conference with a better understanding of the rules of community foundations, the way things have worked and should work for grantmaking and community engagement and donor relations (and I have), but I also can't stop thinking about what could be. As Gabriel Pastor brilliantly stated at Tuesday morning's plenary on "What's Next for Community Philanthropy," there is no business model for community foundations. There is only what we have made it, and what we, as individual community foundations working in our unique communities, continue to make it as we face new issues, new challenges, and new opportunities.
The world is in constant transformation. We are in constant transformation. And it's the dozens of us who are new to the field that need to temper meeting the mold and expectations of our roles with the fearlessness to bring new ideas to the table and expand what it means to be the foundation of a community. We need to continue challenging orthodoxies such as "the community comes to us, not vice versa" and "money is our most important asset" as we return home because, well, aren't people the core of our work? Aren't people, both us as staff and the community—the citizens—we serve, the reason the important work gets done?
On the precipice of the centennial of community foundations next year, we all can be brand new. Every day is an opportunity for fearlessness, for redefining our roles in the communities we love.
PS The community I love is Hutchinson, Kansas, where I work with the Hutchinson Community Foundation (hutchcf.org). Follow us on Facebook or Twitter at@hutchcf.

Author's Note: The article below appeared in its entirety in the September, 1998 issue of Military Trader, Vol 5 Issue 9. For subscription information write firstname.lastname@example.com Please tell them Charles Snyder referred you from his website.
"The paintings in the collections I bought over the years were never acquired for private purposes, but always exclusively for the establishment of an art gallery in my native town of Linz. It is my heartfelt desire that this legacy be fulfilled." (1) -- Adolf Hitler, from his Last Will and Testament, April 29, 1945.
One area of militaria collecting gaining significant interest is the acquisition of the artworks of the leaders of World War Two. It is not a coincidence that three of the people destined to be world leaders were all artists to some degree or another. Traditional psychology asserts one of the three areas that define intelligence is visiospatial analysis; the ability to render what you see into another medium. Winston S. Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Adolf Hitler all left behind substantial numbers of their original artwork, in essence, a portion of their genius.
In the cases of Churchill and Eisenhower, both survived long enough to be able to validate and authenticate their art, usually by means of a letter, or seeing their art presented to the public in published volumes dedicated to their work.
In the case of Adolf Hitler, the only authentication is by third parties. Hitler himself went through the effort to have many of his original pieces of art found, with the intention of displaying them in a wing of the Führermuseum in his adopted hometown of Linz on the Danube in Austria. As events would have it, his preoccupation with taking over the world interfered with his reacquisition of his early art.
One question that seems to come immediately to people's minds is: How did Hitler's art come to be available at all? Hitler had sold all of his early art to support himself and two roommates -- Gustl Kubizek from February 23 to August 28, 1908 and Reinhold Hanisch from February 9, 1909 to August 5, 1910 -- in the years preceding his military service in World War One.
In 1935, Hitler embarked on one of his most ambitious non-war related projects, codename Sonderauftrag Linz (Special Assignment Linz). It involved establishing Linz, Austria as the art capitol of Europe and stripping Vienna of that distinction. Whether this was for spite or simply his way of acknowledging his adopted hometown isn't clear. It is interesting to note that one of Hitler's first official functions was the dedication of an art gallery depicting a variety of artworks, past and present.(2)
In 1935, the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) was tasked to recover as many of Hitler's paintings as possible, by whatever means necessary. Most were acquired at a cost of 5,000 - 6,000 Reichsmarks each. (The average month's pay for a young bureaucrat in those days was 200 RM). At the time, the German Reichsmark was valued at four to the US dollar. Hitler was particularly interested in locating "Those he had done earlier -- from 1905 to 1908, in 1922, and in the Landsberg Prison in 1924 -- were particularly prized by Hitler."(3)
In 1936, Hitler tasked Herr Schulte Stratthaus of the German Embassy in Vienna to reacquire his works for whatever it cost to buy them back from those who owned them. The art was carefully catalogued in the archives in the Braune Haus and stored in the bunkers in the tunnels below the Platterhof Hotel. Here, too, were many crates containing artifacts and valuables, correspondence, and other personal effects for which there was no immediate need.(4)
There have been a number of articles written about Hitler's art, some by people who did less than adequate research, or perhaps simply writing what they were told "by word of mouth." References to them are included in this article, not because they support the known facts, but because they include insights that are of value in the analysis of his art.
One article, written for a popular Sunday newspaper supplement, examines four watercolors, formerly in the custody of the US Army Office of the Chief of Military History, which stated the paintings are "conservatively estimated to be worth at least one million dollars."(5) This is doubtful at best and pure fantasy at worst. It certainly has no basis in auction prices -- then or now. The prices the NSDAP paid (when they paid) in the 1930s were remarkably close to current values -- or retail prices -- even before adjusting for inflation. The primary value of that magazine article is that there are several photographs of the paintings, which are helpful for comparison purposes. The four watercolors shown in the article would realistically bring around 100 thousand dollars for the lot. Perhaps between 25 and 50 thousand dollars each, at auction, depending on the vagaries and whimsy of the bidders.
Perhaps the best piece the US Army owned was the original of the print shown in the 1935 Adolf Hitler printed by Göring's cigarette company, Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld.It is pictured on page 71 of that book.(6) This painting is reported as one of the original works Hitler submitted to the Vienna Academy of Art as a part of his entrance examination.
According to records in the former Central Archives of the NSDAP, Federal Archives, Koblenz, NS 26/32, in May of 1938, one watercolor (Grosses Standesamt) realized 6,000 marks ($1,500 US in 1938 dollars) and another watercolor (Peterskirche) realized 8,000 marks ($2,000 US)(7)
In 1942, the Ministry of the Interior declared Hitler's art as 'works of art of National importance.' They were thus subject to registration and could not be sold abroad without the express permission of the Minister of the Interior. One watercolor Altes Hofbraühaus, with a communication to this effect dated 16 February 1942, was offered for sale in 1970 for 30,000 marks (over $10,000 US dollars in 1970).(8)
A realized auction price of $36,000.00 for a typical medium-sized (9-½ inch by 12-½ inch) Hitler aquarelle was reported on January 2nd 1988 in the Reading (PA) Eagle.(9)
A 1959 letter written by James Birchfield of The Evening Star-The Sunday Star (Washington, DC) states "... a few years ago a National magazine had a piece on Hitler's art, and declared that a Hitler painting might bring as much as $20,000 on the open market." (10)
The New Haven (CT) Register of December 3rd 1987 reported a sale of a 1911 Hitler watercolor landscape for a realized price of $8,300.00 at auction.(11)
One large collection of Hitler paintings, most with Peter Jahn authentications, is currently being offered for sale in Michigan. Approximately 18 paintings are represented in that collection with an average asking price in excess of $50,000 each. Several of these pieces have been already sold for undisclosed amounts.
The most realistic values are those seen on works of his that are original, authentic and offered for public sale. Watercolors of the Vienna era typically run from 5 to 9 thousand dollars for postal sizes, to 50,000 or more for the larger pieces, depending on content, signature, postmark (if mailed), size, authentication, and presentation.
The contention Hitler only painted 300 paintings in his lifetime is also completely inaccurate. By Hitler's own accounting, he painted between one and three watercolors a day during his Vienna years. If one assumes he painted only one painting a day, and only three days a week, then the minimum number he would have painted would be six hundred, which is remarkably close to Hitler's own recollection of "over a thousand."(12)
Another story asserts Hitler ordered Martin Bormann, his personal secretary, to destroy his paintings. Hitler was convinced to the end that he would be able to escape Berlin in time to get to Obersalzberg. Bormann was with him the whole time, so there was neither opportunity nor motive to destroy what Hitler spent money, time, effort and energy to reacquire, catalog and archive in the Braune Haus and at Obersalzberg. It's conceivable the assertion he ordered his paintings to be destroyed was a ploy to create an artificially high market value for his work.
Far from being ashamed of his painting, he was fond of giving them as gifts to people he thought appreciated his work."Apparently in his more expansive and generous moods Hitler would present his favourites with paintings from among those he kept for himself. Göring, Himmler, and even Mussolini were favoured in this way." (13)
Peter Jahn, perhaps one of the foremost experts on Hitler's art, said he had two interviews with Hitler. Hitler said in the six years he spent in Vienna and Munich "from 1908 to 1914, he produced over a thousand paintings, a few of them in oils." (14) Jahn was one of the original people assigned by Schulte Stratthaus, before Hitler annexed Austria in 1937. Stratthaus had been appointed by Hitler in 1936 to locate and buy any of the paintings Hitler had painted from 1907-1912, and 1921-1922. Jahn spent nearly four years tracking down Hitler's early works until he was called into military service. (15)
Peter Jahn's story is fascinating. His own words tell the story best.
In 1937, I became Art Consultant to the German Embassy in Vienna and was asked by the Chief Executive, Botschaftstat (Baronet) von Stein, to start a search for Hitler paintings in Vienna. Baronet von Stein had been in the diplomatic service for a long time, and while he was alive, we were in contact with each other.
In the above mentioned connection, I worked in close cooperation with Dr. Lehmann of the Völkischer Beobachter in Vienna, with Dr. Schulte Stratthaus as well as Dr. Detig who at that time was correspondent of the Münchener Allgemeine Zeitung. Up to 1941, I discovered many of Hitler's paintings and handed them over to the Braune Haus.(16)
How does a collector determine if an artwork represented as an original Hitler is authentic?
A letter written in 1959 by Colonel D. G. Gilbert, Chief of Historical Service Division of the Office of the Chief of Military History to LTC Richard F. Taylor, HQ KMAG, states the problem in simple terms."The best means of authenticating any painting is to compare it to recognized works of the probable artist, or to obtain an opinion from someone who is familiar with the artist's signature, style and technique." Colonel Gilbert was the custodian of the four Hitler paintings then in the Army's possession.(17)
Note that even in the thirties, there were forgeries and copies of his work, some of which Hitler ordered destroyed.
A note from Heinrich Himmler made in 1942, refers to several possible forgeries: "The three supposed watercolors by the hand of the Führer...were destroyed today by my order after indication by the Führer in a letter." It is believed Bormann did not destroy the three forgeries, but rather kept them, along with almost 20 others. They eventually ended up in the hands of Gerda Bormann, who later gave them to an Italian, Rodolfo Siviero, before she died in 1946. The paintings still reside in Italy, the property of the government.(18)
Also helpful, but very difficult to find, is a period collection of seven color lithographs assembled by Heinrich Hoffman, Reichsbildberichterstatter (Official State photographer) of the NSDAP. These are authorized reproductions of World War One paintings made by Hitler from 1914 to 1917.
The lecturer, Hermann Nasse, of the Academy of Fine Arts, München, writes of these particular paintings (translated from the German):
The painting 'Dressing Station, Fromelles' belongs to the year 1915. It is rendered in light, sparkling pigment and the buildings with their overhanging eaves are depicted in the most delicate shades and gradations of colour. The watercolor 'Haubourdin' of 1916 is truly entrancing. Seen through the eyes of a German painter, the foreign landscape is experienced as something intimate, familiar and animate, indeed even poetic. One is as if transported to the walls of Nuremberg or Rothenburg. The painting here is exceptionally easy, fluid and full of movement. His superb pencil drawing 'Ardoyle in Flanders' belongs to the summer of 1917. Besides these dated pictures there are two undated ones, 'Dugout at Tournes' and 'House with a White Fence". All these pieces betray the h and of a trained and naturally gifted architect. The master builder of the Third Reich puts to shame the Vienna Academy of that day. What moves us is the genuine German sense of dedication, upright, honest and loving, both to the whole and to every minutest detail." (19)
Billy F. Price, a Texas oil magnate, has compiled information on hundreds of pieces of Hitler's original art, traveling the world seeking out examples of his work.(20) He wrote what is considered the best single source book of Hitler watercolors, Adolf Hitler: The Unknown Artist. His book has many color plates with detailed descriptions of many of Hitler's works, and a concise history of his artistic career.
What does one look for to distinguish Hitler's art? Regarding his style there are four things to key on, fairly easy to see, once they have been pointed out.
First, notice the treatment of the sky, if present. If there is sky apparent, compare it with known authentic examples. In most of his work, Hitler is well known for his propensity to depict the sky as a roiling -- almost living -- entity. His work was heavily influenced by Rudolf von Alt (1812-1905), and copied his style of active, moody skies."...a prominent watercolorist of the late 19th century, [von Alt] was one of Hitler's favorites: "my teacher," as he [Hitler] said. He adopted Alt's preference for realistic, detailed scenes done in delicate tones, and precisely copied Alt's typically cloudy skies." (21)
Second, note plant life, especially leaves on trees. Leaves are typically daubed and dappled in with little regard for accuracy or realism, often used to "frame" the subject, which is usually architectural. Hitler usually painted in a traditional style: "His typical landscapes, city scenes and still lifes all clearly indicate how completely he was captivated by conventional forms of expression." And "His intense fascination with architecture was reflected in his numerous drawings of houses, churches, public buildings and city scenes."(22)
Third, notice the perspectives. Architectural perspectives are rendered with extreme precision, with almost loving attention to detail; however, people and animals are out of proportion, poorly articulated, and vastly out of scale with the backgrounds. Figures are rendered with wanton disregard for anatomy or accurate animation. This is the primary reason he was rejected by the Vienna School of Fine Arts: "Test drawing unsatisfactory." (23)
Fourth, colors. Most are muted and very traditional in application. This is perhaps the most difficult quality to nail down. Hitler was contracted to paint frame-fillers, art used to sell a frame in a framing store. Occasionally, he took outside commissions where he was required to match a certain color scheme or decor. Again, comparison is your only accurate objective guide.
The discussion of the signature was left apart from the discussion of the art, as it is a subject unto itself. Hitler had many variations of his signature, sometimes printed, as noted on his early Vienna works, sometimes script, sometimes merely block initials, or stylized initials. There are literally dozens of variations. This is not particularly unusual, especially in an artist. The signature is a vanity, and as time passes, it takes on a life of its own. In time, Hitler's scrawled squiggle was perfected into the instantly recognizable form most associate with him. The "lightning bolt" signature Hitler used on documents is rarely seen on his art, unless it was of an official nature.
There are drawings extant which have his "autograph" signature, but many are suspect, attributed to the infamous forger of the Hitler diaries. On the other hand, there are many signed and unsigned drawings that came from the personal collection of Albert Speer, which are genuine.
One surviving sketch is a quick concept drawing of the German Pavilion for the 1942 World's Fair as envisioned by Hitler and conveyed to Albert Speer for his notes.
It was acquired from the collection of Dr. Albert Speer, with an accompanying certificate of authenticity signed by Dr. Speer, dated 1981. The sketch is listed as "20. Ausstellung Rom, Nürnberg Febr. 1939."
The majority of surviving pieces from Hitler's early years were postcards and frame-fillers, usually quickly painted -- at the rate of one to three each day he painted -- and sold for an average of nine Kronen apiece. "There was a market for postcard-sized paintings to be sold in taverns or to art dealers, who acquired them not so much for their artistic value as for filling empty frames." Hitler's monthly rent was twelve Kronen, and his monthly expenses rarely exceeded thirty Kronen.(24)
His larger paintings went for more -- upwards of forty Kronen -- for works he was contracted to do (Kronen were approximately four to the US dollar, at that time).
In 1911, he inherited 4,000 Kronen. This was so much money; he gave up his orphan's pension to his sister to assist her in raising his niece. While the early years were doubtless lean at times, he was not nearly as destitute as he indicates in Mein Kampf.
The photograph shown is of a Hitler original sketch of the Linz skyline (34.0 cm by 25.0 cm) A pencil on linen textured paper sketch signed "Adolf Hitler" and dated "1908" of the Vienna period.
This drawing depicts the skyline of Linz, as viewed from the Urfahr suburbs across the Danube River in a landscape orientation. The bridge, castle, and cathedral, as well as other prominent landmarks of the time are drawn in excellent detail. This particular scene, from this vantage point is described: "Although Linz resembled a large market town with seven or eight stately buildings to testify to its medieval magnificence, it was the cultural center of Upper Austria. A bridge across the Danube led to the suburb of Urfahr, which lay in the shadow of a small mountain called the Postlingberg. From the mountaintop there unfolded a wonderful panorama of the city and the surrounding plains. It was a view that the young dilettante [Hitler] especially admired." (25) And, "A handful of his architectural drawings made at that time have survived, and they show that he was capable of extraordinarily bold designs...." (26)
Further, in a 1908 letter from Adolf Hitler to a friend, Gustl Kubizek, he asks ".... Would you be so good as to buy for me a copy of "Guide to the Danube City of Linz," not the Wöhrl, but the actual Linz one published by Krakowitzer. On the cover there is a picture of a girl from Linz, and in the background there is Linz seen from the Danube with the bridge and the castle...." (27)
Payne speculates from this letter that Hitler was continuing to work on his plans for the reconstruction of Linz, and that Hitler continued to maintain an interest in this city enough to spend 60 Kronen for this guidebook, not an insignificant sum of money in those early days.(28)
Hitler apparently never outgrew his fascination for painting and sketching the city of Linz. Frau Traudl Junge, one of Hitler's three female Reichs Chancellory secretaries, recalled he did "countless sketches" of Linz.(29)
The photograph shown is of the Hitler original The Rotterdam Cathedral. (31.6 x 42.1 cm) An aquarelle (watercolor) signed "A Hitler" and dated "1913" of the Munich period in a portrait orientation depicting a view of the Rotterdam Cathedral showing the streets bustling with early morning activity. Compare the improvement in style and content to the Linz drawing done five years earlier.
Original mounting on cardboard, a small tear, repaired long ago, approximately 12 cm from the bottom, 11 cm in from the left edge, and 4 cm long. It is barely noticeable to the unaided eye and does not detract. There is evidence of framing on the mat, and at the very edges of the painting.
Peter Jahn recalls Hitler favored church views, as they were particularly easy to sell.(30) Jahn also remembered that Hitler used to sell church paintings to wedding parties outside the church.(31)
It was most likely painted in München after May 26th, 1913, when Hitler moved into the Josef Popp residence at 34/III Schleissheimerstrasse.
Frau Popp in an interview several years later recalled "He began his painting straight away and stuck to his work for hours. In a couple of days I saw two lovely pictures finished and lying on the table, one of the cathedral and the other of the Theatinerkirche. After that my lodger [Hitler] used to go out early of a morning with his portfolio under his arm in search of customers." (32)
There is little doubt this is one of the Munich paintings, since Hitler did not paint during 1913 prior to his move to Munich. Munich paintings are much rarer than Vienna paintings, as Hitler was not inclined to actively seek them out in his search of his old works. He spent a little more than a year painting -- from May 1913 to August 1914 -- before he volunteered for the Bavarian military service
The authentication of art is a skill that takes a lifetime to learn. There is little I can offer in a short article other than the very rudimentary basics. Your best guide is your instinct and constant study of his known work. In the end, you need to feel confident of the work, as it stands, regardless of the source or the story that accompanies the art. While apocryphal stories abound regarding the "discovery" of a Hitler original at a garage sale, flea market, or that notorious "little old lady from Germany," your best bet is an authenticated and certified piece. That is what distinguishes an amateur watercolor from The Real Deal.
Charles Snyder has been buying and selling original Adolf Hitler artworks for over 25 years. He bought his first Hitler painting from Peter Jahn in 1972. Since then, he has bought and sold nearly 50 original pieces. His current collection includes of 16 paintings -- one of the largest single collections in the US -- liberated from Berchtesgaden, Obersalzberg, in May 1945 by a US Army paratrooper. These paintings and other items will be featured in his forthcoming book Treasure Trove: The Looting of the Third Reich.

Tbilisi, Georgia
Saturday, June 22, 2013
In America, the strength of media and lack of American traveling public means that, for many, "Europe" comprises London, Paris, and Rome (along with their respective countries), and little else. Maybe Amsterdam, because, you know, weed is supposed to be, like, legal there. But scarcely more than that. Of course, there are the former Yugoslav and Eastern Bloc nations, which, in the minds of many Americans, are war-torn, strife-laden, utterly corrupt (and still quasi-Communist), mafia-run cesspools to be avoided. Last month, I had the pleasure to go from what is, by far, the wealthiest country in Europe (Norway), to what is arguably one of the poorest, Georgia. Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, in the best of ways, was a shocker, and highlighted the vast differences present on this fabulous, diverse continent.
Tbilisi, less explored and romanticized in media and literature, was mysterious. More or less still shrouded in a post-Soviet mystique, Tbilisi is well off the radars of most. Hell, even the major bank I use, when I called to deactivate anti-fraud alerts for Georgia, Norway, and Turkey, remarked that I was asking for restrictions to be removed from two countries and one (domestic) state. As a tall, foreign, black visitor, I was the subject of much curiosity. I was very humbled and taken aback by the generosity of strangers in Georgia. From the police officers inviting me eat lunch with them; to taxi drivers stopping to find English speakers to help me; to random people smiling, honking their horn, waving; to shopkeepers inviting me to try fruits and nuts; to the more strange and bizarre, such as compliments on my teeth, and people asking if I am from India. Sure enough, I know that I stick out like a sore thumb, but I didn't expect this kind of VIP treatment!
As a whole, Tbilisi is very traditional, with people actively observing local customs and ceremonies to a higher degree than in the other, diverse, big cities of Western Europe. Sweden comes to mind: a country where government officials seem resigned to marginalizing and/or altogether surrendering local traditions in order to appease (the often unskilled and uneducated) Middle Eastern and African immigrant masses. The complete lack of integration, high crime rates, and violent riots in suburban Stockholm (or Paris, or London), perpetuated almost entirely by "youth" of the said ethnic origins, highlights the downside of continued unlimited, no-questions-asked immigration of persons from cultures with dubious compatibility with Western society. Not long ago, a Swedish politician remarked that Sweden should become a "settler country."
It is hard to imagine that the fiercely nationalistic Georgians, Armenians, or Azeris would ever entertain such an idea. Weeks before I arrived, Orthodox priests took part in violent anti-gay protests, shoving crosses through the windows of passenger vans. Georgian protesters remarked that acceptance of gays was a "corrupt Western value" with no place in Georgian society. It goes without being said that there is less of the secular, political correctness found in Western Europe. People, though caring, are very blunt, and in your face, even if not particularly rude. They will tell you if something is on their mind. Fantastic hospitality, though. Georgians will not let you leave without trying their food or wine, both of which are thought of highly. On my last night, while waiting on a shawarma, local youth approached me, calling me "Bob Marley," offering shots of vodka. After seeing the "chef" smoke while preparing the food (!), I took the kids up on their offer. These days, you really have to go off the grid to find such spontaneous acts of hospitality. In the former Soviet sphere, Georgia is thought of as the Italy of the region, due to its well-developed gastronomy. In fact, Russians still value Georgian wines to be among the best, a position held from Tsarist times, when Georgia provided the official wine for the Royal Court. It is actually said that Georgia was the first country to cultivate wine and engage in viticulture.
In a way, even amid sweeping democratic reforms, far-flung Tbilisi still manages to feel like a place that you are not supposed to be. As a city, it doesn't particularly cater to visitors. Compared to other cities where tourism is the primary revenue generator – where tourists more or less run the show – Tbilisi feels like a place where tourists a more of a novelty, and you get the feeling as if you are peering in (but not prying, or intruding) on locals' lives. In the sometimes arrogant jargon of experienced travelers, Tbilisi is a very "authentic" place. From Tbilisi's charmingly decrepit old town, with its centuries-old buildings and their sagging balconies, often with barely-running Lada's out front, to its maze of hidden alleyways and pedestrian passageways, and intriguing Orthodox churches, many with priests in all-black flowing robes. To the grand, Stalinist spectacle that is Rustaveli Avenue, with its monumental buildings and scale, many of which flaunt an air of exiled imperial grandiosity. Quality Georgian food, plentiful throughout the city, can be had for a few dollars.
Overall, Tbilisi felt far more "European" than expected. Long, grand boulevards, a Metro system, charming Art-Nouveau apartment blocks, lovely parks and national museums and the like. I suppose Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, or Tashkent – cities that were the subject of ambitious Soviet nation-building experiments– would feel more "Soviet" in appearance and aesthetic. Tbilisi, unscathed by war or natural disaster, and with an assertive national identity and culture, never appears to have been completely subjugated by Moscow. At least not like Minsk, where not only was the city ravaged by War World Two and subsequently rebuilt in a distinctly Soviet style, but where the local language has been duped in favor of Russian, and the government takes pride on having been a part of the USSR. The USSR, as well as modern-day Russia, is a dark, evil, and dirty word to many Georgians, especially in light of the 2008 Georgian-Russian war. On the ride from the airport to Tbilisi, my overly enthusiastic cab driver, while driving 160km/hr on "George W. Bush Blvd" proudly proclaimed in broken English "We [Georgians] hate Russia. F**k Russia!"

Too Many Credit Cards
Don't carry every credit card you have: If your wallet is lost or stolen, the thief will have a field day with more cards to rack up (leaving you more headache to deal with). Plus, you won't have anything to use in the meantime as you take care of getting new cards. Carry only one or two of your main cards, and possibly a backup, and leave the rest in a safe place at home.
Extra tip: Keep photocopies of the fronts and backs of all your cards at home. If your cards are lost or stolen, you won't have to hunt around for numbers. Also, never close your accounts—ask for your account number to be changed. Closing an account can damage your credit, and you may lose previous reward points, interest rates or credit limits.

Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff poked fun at Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in their very own hideous denim getups on Sunday night.
The Roar singer, who picked up the Best Female Video Award, and her pal bravely hit the red carpet in the eye-watering outfits Britney and Justin wore to the 2001 American Music Awards.
Why? We'll never really know.
"#TBT to when RIFF RAFF @JODYHiGHROLLER & I were dating & we took it to da studio to make dat real magic."
She later tweeted: "I must admit my outfit is a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction."
But Katy's outfit choice wasn't the only fashion faux pas of the evening (homage aside. Amber Rose and Ariana Grande also opted for some questionable clobber.
Amber Rose turned heads for the wrong reasons in her sparkling Laurel Dewitt chainmail outfit, which just about covered up her modesty.
Paying homage to Rose McGowan's risky 1998 VMAs outfit, Amber wrote on Twitter: "Thank u @rosemcgowan for being a fabulous trendsetter u were truly my inspiration tonight."
Another star who missed the style mark was Ariana Grande, who went hell for leather in a super-tight boob tube dress and thigh high boots under the blazing Californian sun.

"I went into the Carl's Jr. on Market Street and ordered a Six-Dollar Burger.
From the first bite, it was obvious what was wrong. At the time I wasn't the trained fast-food professional I am today, but the problem with the Six-Dollar Burger was so simple that a child could have perceived it. The burger's creators had violated the central tenet of fast-food hamburger design: don't let them taste the meat."

Good laminator for price
I got this for my wife for Mother's Day (she is always wanting to laminate stuff for the kids). Some of those machines are like 200$, so I wasn't crazy about the idea, but then I found this one. My wife says it works great, and it was a fraction of the cost of those other ones.

In a desperate bid to boost fledgling soup purchases after years of declining sales, Campbell Soup Company, the world's biggest soup maker, plans to introduce special-edition cans of its condensed tomato soup bearing labels reminiscent of Andy Warhol's soup paintings.
The 1.2 million cans will cost 75 cents each, and will be offered for sale at Target stores. The cans to be sold at Target will come in four color schemes, with famed Warhol quote such as "In the future everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes."
Food Industry writer Candice Choi notes Campbell has sold Warhol-inspired cans on two other occasions.
"In 2004, the company sold 75,000 four-packs of Warhol-inspired cans at Giant Eagle, a Pittsburgh-based supermarket operator. During the holiday season in 2006, the company sold 12,000 units at Barney's in New York."
Market Watch claims starting Sept. 6, the food maker is unveiling a major advertising campaign aimed at drawing more shoppers to soup.
Campbell said U.S. soup sales fell 5% for the period ended Aug. 1, even though the company offered more promotions. Summer is usually a weak sales period. For its fiscal year 2010, U.S. soup sales dropped 4%, compared with a 5% gain in fiscal 2009.
"The primary initiative in our soup business this year is to fire up condensed soup," Campbell Chief Executive Doug Conant said. "This initiative will benefit both cooking soups, which are part of our broader meal-makers portfolio, and our eating soups."
Campbell plans to grow sales from shipping more soups to retailers, rather than from raising prices. He said consumers remain stingy, spending fewer dollars on grocery-store trips and buying fewer items.
The overall U.S. soup category is suffering.
Campbell said for the 52 weeks ended Aug. 1, soup sales dropped 4.7%, citing SymphonyIRI panel data and its own internal estimates. Campbell soup sales were down 5.2%, and all other branded soup sales declined 7.3%, according to Market Watch.
Despite weak soup sales, Campbell has benefited from increased sales with its "V8″ beverage line, for which sales rose 12% in the recent quarter.
"A year ago, Campbell began to expand the V8 line to include Cranberry-Blackberry and Acai Mixed Berry Light drinks, among others."
The irony in Campbell's marketing venture of exploiting Andy Warhol's pop art to sell their soup is that years ago, the company considered taking legal action against Warhol before his paintings were released to the public.
By 1964 the company realized the paintings were wildly successful and Campbell's marketing manager even sent Warhol a letter expressing admiration for his work.
"I have since learned that you like Tomato Soup," William MacFarland wrote in the letter. "I am taking the liberty of having a couple cases of our Tomato Soup delivered to you."
Later that same year, Campbell commissioned Warhol to do a painting of a can of Campbell's tomato soup as a gift for its retiring board chairman, Oliver G. Willits; Warhol was paid $2,000 for the work.
And in 1993, the company bought a Warhol painting of one of its tomato soup cans to hang in its boardroom of its headquarters.

Lily Allen is reportedly dating Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.
Newly single Lily Allen is single no more. The British pop singer apparently has found a new love soon after breaking up with former boyfriend Seb Chew. Rumors are mounting that she's dating Ed Simons of music duo The Chemical Brothers.
According to The Sun, Lily and Ed have been spotted out together several times in recent weeks. Lily, who's 15 years younger than Ed, was also seen watching him perform at a concert in London's Trafalgar Square from the VIP area earlier this month.
"They are seeing more and more of each other and having a lot of fun. They have a lot in common," the Sun quoted a source as saying. "He could be just what Lily needs after splitting from Seb." So are they or aren't they? Only time will tell.
Earlier this month, Lily revealed she had split from record label executive boyfriend Seb Chew, saying "Seb and I aren't together any more. I split with him a month ago so I'm single now" adding that she's hoping to find a new boyfriend.

Old English stol "seat for one person," from Proto-Germanic *stolaz (cf. Old Frisian stol, Old Norse stoll, Old High German stuol, German Stuhl "seat," Gothic stols "high seat, throne"), from PIE *sta-lo-, locative of root *sta- "to stand" (cf. Lithuanian pa-stolas "stand," Old Church Slavonic stolu "stool;" see stet).
Originally used of thrones (cf. cynestol "royal seat, throne"); change of meaning began with adoption of chair from French, which relegated stool to small seats without arms or backs, then "privy" (early 15c.) and thence to "bowel movement" (1530s).
