Andy the Hobo Traveler.com and I have an ongoing joke about all of the hate mail that he receives. We rather satiricly equate the volume of hate mail with the level of success that an internet writer achieves.
Andy receives tons of hate mail= His site is very successful.
I do not receive very much hate mail yet= My site is not yet very successful.
I think that hate mail reflects much more upon the person writing it than on the one who is meant to be insulted. I find it very humorous that so many people around the world would take the time to read someone else's blog and then assault them because they did not write something that they like. It is simply amazing to me that in this age of rampant multi-cultural information exchanges people still cannot handle opinions that are different than their own. There are so many outlets of information in the world today, why don't people just click off a site that they disagree with and read something else? Really, how odd does a person need to be to insult a harmless blogger? How much unvented anger and frustration does a person need to have to try to make a self publishing writer feel bad about themselves?
I would like to get to the roots of this hate mail issue, my curiosity is peaked. It seems as if people have a sort of ingrained reaction against ideas and opinions that are different than their own. It seems to mix up and uproot some people's world view to encounter a person who does not share their opinions. I think the world needs to travel; for travel is the great slayer of ignorance. Seek the world, and you will learn not only about other people, but yourself as well. In my opinion, having your world view turned upside down to the point that you can hardly recognize it anymore is one of the most valuable things that can happen to a person. Travel inherently changes, alters, and remakes even the most stubborn of world-views. Perhaps traveling should be a punishment for criminals, politicians, and fundamentalists. . . as it was in the old days.
I must say that I find hate mail exceedingly humorous. I welcome hate mail, send it on. Just go down to the comment link below and tell me how much I suck. I will just laugh, and if it is good enough, share it with Andy. It is my opinion that a writer really has to make people FEEL deeply and THINK about what they have written to receive hate mail. As far as I am concerned, hate mail means that I am doing my job.
I received my first piece of hate mail the other day. It is very, very mild compared to what Andy gets on an almost daily basis, but I think it is a start hehehehe.
The hate mail from Morocco:
Anonymous said…
hi.there are some places bad and some others good like all countries,but you must not laught and make a joke when you do your bloody stupide job or i dont know why you are in morroco may be for a raison hehehe …..do u know what i mean .
Wade said…
I do not believe that a traveler is required to like every country that they travel through. I also do not believe that people should be prohibited from traveling in countries that they do not like. I write my impressions of the world as I move through it. I never made any other claim. I am not going to pretend that I enjoy a place that I don't; I will not lie to be polite. I believe that it is far more valuable to write my honest impressions of places and cultures rather than what people want to hear. I wrote the opinions that your country gave me, and nothing more.
I found some hassles in Morocco, so I wrote about them. I do not dislike Morocco. In fact, I have grown rather comfortable with the country. But there are some major hassles that many Moroccans give to travelers- touts, hotel runners, restaurants, and taxi drivers often times try to cheat, short change, and take advantage of foreigners to an extraordinary degree. This is what I observed, so this is what I wrote.
These are only my impressions of the world, they are not meant to upset you. I am only a bigoted, small minded, and ignorant traveler. I do not claim to be anything else.
I have to get back to my stupid job now.

Best Of :: People & Places
Whenever our out-of-state friends come to our heat-blasted burg for a visit, they're quite taken with the kitschy Arizona-themed refrigerator magnets found littering gift shops and souvenir stands across the Valley. They seem so drawn to these tacky trinkets filled with howling coyotes, jackalopes and Southwestern sunsets, you'd think our buddies were made of metal. The last time they blew through town, we gave them this certain madcap magnet made by local furniture artist Mike Miskowski that threw them for a loop. It boasts a smutty snapshot of a towering and anatomically blessed saguaro with a rather largish arm looking very much like a . . . um, let's just say its needles aren't the only thing "prickly" about this cactus. (There's also the phrase "Welcome to Phoenis" printed on it.) We'd tell our pals about Miskowski's other small-scale artwork fit for their icebox like a satanic Little Debbie or a chain-saw-wielding Native American child but they aren't speaking to us anymore.
The Tricks' garden has Eden beat, no contest. Built around two old houses in downtown Tempe well off the beaten beer-spilled path of Mill Avenue the trellised, bricked, vine-covered spot is the perfect place to sit at the bar or relax at a table, with a good glass of wine. And one more thing we can guarantee: No one in Eden knew how to cook the way the Tricks do with menu temptations like marinated quail with a coffee honey vinaigrette or pistachio-crusted rack of lamb. Paradise.
According to the Bible, our ancient ancestors Adam and Eve grew ashamed at their nudity in the Garden of Eden after sampling forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, and thusly, mankind was forever cursed with a sense of body modesty. Well, you can finally feel good about dropping trou outside the confines of your residence (without getting thrown in the cooler) inside the confines of El Dorado Hot Springs. This picturesque mineral-water spa located 45 miles west of the Valley is a clothing-optional compound with a bounty of bathing pools and tubs filled with natural H2O pumped straight from a subterranean spring. Five private areas located inside fenced areas and historic buildings including a small post office where old-school civil servants soaked their letter-carrying carcasses back in the day allow you to take a dip away from the prying eyes of the public for only $10 an hour per person. If you're feeling a bit more exhibitionistic, there's also a semi-private pool for $7.50 an hour per person. Cell phones and cameras are forbidden, however, so you needn't worry about any saucy pics of your skinny-dipping adventures getting posted on the Internet.
The appletini is the quintessential frou-frou cocktail. Flirty. Tasteful. Fun. Grilled Expedition at Desert Ridge Marketplace offers an appletini that's shaken, not stirred, and garnished with a Granny Smith apple slice. Its house special martini isn't exactly a trade secret just vodka with a splash of sour apple liquor but the restaurant's bartenders manage to get just the perfect combination of sweet and tart. This is an apple that will definitely sink its teeth into you.
Phoenix summers are hell. By August, the only flowers left alive in this town are on night-blooming cactuses. Wright House proprietors Peggy and Michael Wright must have made a pact with Satan's gardener, because somehow their lush landscaping manages to stay green and flowering nearly all year. The property houses three buildings a historic cottage house, an English ballroom and a recently added French villa that can be rented for weddings, special occasions and private parties. Wrought-iron fences and delicate gazebos are covered with ivy and fragrant jasmine. Stone walkways snake through country gardens planted with roses and perennials bursting in vibrant shades of fuchsia, pink and saffron. The best part? There's not one goddamned cactus on the lot.
For those of you who specialize in committing the most profane acts of immorality, now you can royally piss off God in a variety of ways at Apollo's Greek God Revue. As if the infamously sassy GLBT clientele that frequents Apollo's wasn't enough to get on the Lord's bad side, now guests can further annoy the Most High with the overt idolatry of Dionysian-loving tranny sing-alongs, the likes of which some fundamentalists might say could invoke the wrath of God with more urgency than the folks in those little towns called Sodom and Gomorrah. To add injury, the party happens every Sunday night, a day typically reserved by the rightest of the right for spiritual fasting and meditation. Perhaps the guys at Apollo's view their wacky Sunday night Greek drag extravaganzas as worshipful in their own way. Since the Lord hasn't struck them down yet, be sure not to miss a week; that would really light up this already fabulous party!

Telefónica O2 sets sights on broadband expansion
7 December 2007, MADRID - Telefónica's O2 Europe division said yesterday it is looking to grow in the British and German ADSL broadband markets over the next few years.
7 December 2007
MADRID - Telefónica's O2 Europe division said yesterday it is looking to grow in the British and German ADSL broadband markets over the next few years.
O2 Europe Chief Executive Peter Erskine told a news conference in London that Britain is expected to add a further eight million ADSL customers in the coming years and a similar number in Germany. A further eight million users are expected to switch operators in both countries, he added.
Telefónica had 9.6 million ADSL customers as of the end of September, an increase of 32 percent over a year earlier.
Telefónica acquired UK mobile operator O2 last year for EUR 26 billion. It is now integrated into the O2 Europe division, which includes Telefónica's Czech subsidiary Cesky Telecom and its businesses in Britain, Germany, Ireland and Slovakia.
Erskine is to step down as O2 CEO at the end of this year but will retain a seat on Telefónica's board. He said the synergies generated in Telefónica's purchase of O2 amounted to more than the EUR 1.1 billion initially estimated.
O2 Europe accounted for about a quarter of Telefónica consolidated revenues in the first nine months of the year, which amounted to EUR 42 billion. Telefónica's share price closed yesterday down 1.65 percent at EUR 22.70.

Details on NI's Kontakt 2 Sound Library Revealed
Native Instruments has announced details on the library of the upcoming Kontakt 2, which will weigh in at more than 15 GB and make extensive use of the new "Kontakt Script Processor" (KSP) for a wide range of advanced performance effects.
A special version of the VSL orchestra, a Steinway Grand Piano, the "Elektrik Guitar", and a church organ sampled in 5.1 surround are some of the highlights of what will be the most powerful factory library of any sampler on the market.
The Kontakt 2 library will include:
- A special version of the Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) specifically made for Kontakt 2, offering a full symphonic orchestra. The VSL orchestra in Kontakt 2 includes 30 instruments and takes advantage of the KSP engine for sophisticated performance effects including "Monophonic Legato" and "Repetition"
- A multi-sampled Steinway D Grand Piano that uses both the KSP engine and the integrated convolution engine to recreate the soundboard and sympathetic resonance of the sustain pedal samples
- An August Foerster Concert Piano with 10 velocity layers and a dedicated KSP module for control of release volume and sympathetic resonance
- The "Elektrik Guitar", an extensively sampled electric guitar which goes beyond the limitations of conventionally sampled instruments by utilizing the KSP engine for realistic playing behaviour, including various strumming styles as well as authentic handling of ghost notes, harmonics and flageolets
- The "Akkord Guitar", a KSP-based instrument that draws on a library of more than 3.500 acoustic guitar chord samples and allows for convenient creation of rhythmic guitar tracks due to an intelligent chord recognition mechanism
- A selection of church organs, including a massive cathedral organ sampled in full 5.1 surround for a truly overwhelming sonic experience
- A selection of electric pianos, including the Rhodes MK II from NIs Elektrik Piano
- The "Automatic Harp", a concert harp that enables glissandi and bisbigliandi thanks to a special KSP module
- A large assortment of tempo-synchronized loops from a huge variety of musical styles, taken in part from the Zero-G libraries "Altered States", "Sound of the 70s" and "Total Drum & Bass", all making extensive use of the Kontakt 2 Time Machine and Beat Machine modes
- A library of high-quality surround effects, recorded with the SPL-Brauner Atmos 5.1 microphone system
- A wide selection of synthesizer sounds sampled from classic vintage analog and digital synthesizers, including a special modular synth bank designed by Kevin Lamb
- An extensive assortment of both electronic and acoustic drum kits and percussion sounds, taken in part from the Battery 2 library
- A selection of over 300 impulse responses, providing a wide variety of reverbs, filter, special effects and instrument resonances for the integrated convolution effect module.
Kontakt 2 has a suggested retail price of $579 / 499 Euro and should be released soon. An upgrade for all previous versions of Kontakt will be available for $169 / 149 Euro. Owners of NI KOMPLETE CARE 2005 will receive the upgrade at no further costs. All NI Komplete 2 purchases that are registered after January 20th, 2005 are also entitled to a free Kontakt 2 upgrade.

Are You Happy with NBC's Coverage of the Olympics? — Sports Survey of the Day
NBC has been the Olympics network for a while now, so you would it would know it's doing.
Not everyone thinks that's the case.
NBC has been the Olympics network for a while now, so you would it would know it's doing.
Not everyone thinks that's the case.
The London Olympics have been going on for nearly a week now, so are you still just as pumped, or sputtering out?
We have reached the final two months of the regular baseball season, and a flurry of moves were made before the July 31 trading deadline.
So, who was the biggest winner at the trade deadline?
The Olympics are a time to celebrate the athletes in the world. Instead, we find ourselves talking about their use of social media. Should athletes be using these sites during big events?
We are a few days into the 2012 London Olympics, and unlike in 2008, Michael Phelps is not the big swimming news.
The 2012 Summer Olympics are set to begin, and while we are excited for most of the scheduled events, there are a few sports we'd like to see included.
Another week in sports, and more athletes seem to be in trouble with the law.
So who takes the crown of biggest bonehead right now?
The scandal at Penn State is one of the worst in the history of sports. The NCAA handed down its punishment on Monday, but was it too harsh?
The Open Championship has come and gone, and Tiger Woods is left without a win. He's climbing his way back up to the top, but will he win a major in 2012?
The biggest free agent stories of the NBA preseason are Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin. While Lin has found a home, Howard's situation is still a nightmare.
When you are any sort of celebrity, you are in the spotlight. When you're a professional athlete you're not only in that spotlight, but you are also considered a role model.
The 1992 Olympic men's basketball team — dubbed the Dream Team — didn't know it, but they were setting the bar pretty high for future teams. Now, even the president is involved in the debate.

With his junior season coming to a close last fall, Lawrenceville (GA) Central Gwinnett receiver Jallah Zeze thought his main responsibility over the offseason was to focus on elevating his game to the next level. He never thought deciding on a school from a growing scholarship list would be in the cards.
The 6-1, 210-pound Zeze went from no offers at the start of February to now approaching double digits, as many more schools are starting to take notice of him.
"Honestly, going into my senior year, I didn't know this was going to happen," Zeze told BadgerNation. "I am shocked as everybody is for the offers that I am receiving."
The self-doubt came from a junior season that Zeze felt was below expectations. Getting his first opportunity to be the team's main receiver (meaning the ball was going to be thrown his way a lot), the pressure Zeze put on himself to success had the opposite effect early in the season.
"I wasn't going out and just playing," Zeze said. "I was putting myself in a further hole and not helping the team win. I thought I had to really step up, make plays, become a baller and be great. My coach helped me out, made me slow everything down. They just showed me I had a lot of size and a lot of movement that big guys my size don't have, (and) that I could take advantage. That's what I've been doing ever since."
Finishing the season with 42 catches for 678 yards and six touchdowns (all second best on his team), Zeze's work was validated when Wisconsin wide receiver coach Ted Gilmore extended him a scholarship offer in early March.
"I was speechless really," Zeze recalled of when the Badgers offered. "My coach announced it during offseason workouts. Wisconsin? Really? Coach you must be playing! I was just shocked and at the same time excited."
Gilmore has developed a habit of finding under-the-radar receivers that he can work with. In 2015 he landed Quintez Cephus out of Macon, Ga., and saw Cephus – a former basketball commit – contribute as a true freshman and close the spring working with the starters. Last year Gilmore landed Cade Green and Emmet Perry out of Texas, a duo that had few Power-Five conference offers at the time they committed.
"They were my second offer and me and coach have really good talks," Zeze said. "He would like for me to come up there and see (Madison) for myself. He says it's better to see than to tell."
Holding additional Big Ten offers from Indiana and Purdue, Zeze said he's interested in visiting Wisconsin and likes Appalachian State and Colorado State. Of his few visits so far, visiting the Mountaineers in Boone, N.C., for a game stood out.
"Everything is close by, nothing is spread out, and it's a small town," Zeze said, adding that his cousin goes to Appalachian State. "Everybody is all about football and everything is packed, crazy. It's hard for you to move around. Game day was crazy. Tailgating was crazy. I had so much fun over there. I didn't get to tour the school, but I loved the warm-up and the attitude."
Zeze plans to make a handful of recruiting visits this summer and take some official visits. He hopes to decide midway through or after his senior season.

He is approached by the Libra Zodiarts, seeing him as a potential Horoscopes member, and is given a Zodiarts Switch that allows him to transform into the Perseus Zodiarts, arming him with the Oracle sword. He also has Medusa on his left arm, which enables him to turn anything he touches to stone. Motoyama uses his power to attack and petrify anyone and anything that interferes in his work's creation.
Even though his Last One form is destroyed by Kamen Rider Fourze Fire States, the Zodiarts Switch recreates the Perseus Zodiarts's body as he gains the ability to fire petrification beams from his Medusa hand. However, though Gentaro failed in his attempt to reach him by challenging him to a painting contest, the Perseus Zodiarts later realizes that he made a grave error in judgement over his actions by realizing that the perfection he sought is only in form and was for his own satisfaction only.
The Perseus Zodiarts then accepts Gentaro's friendship with the intent of returning to a human before the Libra Zodiarts converts him into a berserker for his Resurrection Star losing its glow. However, with the help of Kamen Rider Meteor holding the Libra Zodiarts at bay, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Pen Switch to disable the berserk Perseus Zodiarts before destroying him. Back in his body, Motoyama is later seen creating a new painting to give to the kindergartners.

'Manage the tracking of your own pageviews', for a Custom Domain
LABELS: HTTP, HTTPS, Pageview Tracking, Stats
Having returned to blogging recently, there was a lot to try and catch-up on. Several Blogger changes came to light, too. One, in particular, was the change to HTTPS, which is basically a secure communication Protocol, for Blogspot.com blogs. Custom domain published blogs do not support HTTPS access - even from the Blogger dashboard. 1
So, I went looking for an answer. The first place I always check, is Chuck's place - The Real Blogger Status blog, to generally find my answer. Sure enough, he'd covered this very subject, and more, about 15 months ago, in a post called "Stats And "Don't track", And Custom Domains".
Here it is in picture form...
I selected 'Manage the tracking of your own pageviews', and got a surprise - "This site can't be reached".
So, as directed by Chuck, I had to change the HTTPS, to HTTP, in the URL, so I could get the "Would you like to have your pageviews counted when you visit this blog?" wizard.
Then I only had to select "Don't Track My Views For This Blog", with a tick, and I was set.
Note: If you are using two, or more Browsers, you'll have to do all this for each one.

An assortment of HTML commands using the Ampersand
LABELS: HTML, HTML Commands, HTML Editor, HTML Gadgets, HTML Tags
Writing my blog posts in the HTML Editor often requires a little, of what I call, code. It's not the secretive kind of code, because it's readily available to all bloggers, at any time, through the HTML Goodies website. They're called HTML commands. Here are some examples, and what they can do for your post page, using the Ampersand - '&' symbol...
Say, for instance, I want to make a 'Copyright' symbol, but there isn't one on the keyboard ... I would need to issue this command to the HTML Editor:
Ampersand (&), type the word 'copy', then a semi-colon; (©) - which gives the desired ... ©
The Yen symbol, would be: ¥ ... ¥ - and another, the British Pound symbol is £ ... £
There are as many commands using the 'Ampersand', as you could want. All you have to do is apply the code.
Here are some more:
Fractions are a pest, but with the right command - ½ you get ½ ... ¼ ...¼ ... ¾ ...¾ and so on.
If I wanted to make some brackets < and > , it's just as easy. I would use < and > which was < for left and > for right...< and >.
It's fun. Try it.

"Don't ask again on this computer," - EVER again, Google!
LABELS: 2-Step Verification, Accounts, Google, Google Accounts
Do you know what gets under my skin, to make me itch with anger? It's something like this ...
Have you ever wondered why Google does not recognise your 'stay at home computer', and why it often asks; "Is that really you?" Well I'm getting tired of it on my home Laptop - which NEVER leaves my desk, and NEVER even goes shopping with me, and, most of all, NEVER gets used by anyone else - EVER.
So, Mr. Google, instead of having a miriad of employees, who are brighter than the sun, and 'smarter than the average bear' (I know this because they work at Google - and must do nothing except come up with new designs, or something, to change/mend/fix something which wasn't broken), how about getting them to make things work?
I appreciate the fact that Security is one thing that Google thinks about, and that I have to sign-in to my account.
Simply, at the selection of one of two accounts, Google and I have gone on to first name terms ...
I enter my Password, for the account, but that's not good enough for Google. They already know that I'm 'Bob'...
Now, Google is getting nasty. They want to know if it REALLY IS me. Really truly me. They give me a choice of verification means. Wow!
I choose one, do this business with the code, which is a good thing for security (They call it the 2-step verification)
This step is what REALLY ticks me off - You see the little part highlighted by the red arrow? It says; 'Don't ask again on this computer', - again, and again.
It doesn't work! Google! The only way to avoid this situation, is not to logoff and power down!

text: Fortinet Wi-Fi in use for UK's biggest pro cycling event11 Sep 2015 05:09 PM Aviva Tour of Britain cycling event is using temporary deployments of high-density outdoor 802.11ac Wi-fi access points at each stage of the race for use by spectators, race staff and mediaThe organisers of the Aviva Tour of Britain cycling event are deploying Fortinet technology to provide secure Wi-Fi connectivity for thousands of spectators, race staff and accredited media at each of the eight stages of this year's annual 1,443km race. The solution is being implemented by specialist reseller partner KBR Wi-Fi.Cyber security specialist Fortinet acquired Wi-Fi equipment manufacturer Meru Networks in July this year. Its Wi-Fi solution is built around Meru's OAP832e access point (AP), which was chosen for its high performance, high density and ease of use in all weather conditions."Fast Wi-Fi connectivity is really important on the Tour, not just to the organisers and all the media who cover the event, but the thousands of spectators who want to see the riders and share their experiences in real-time using social media," said Gareth Tomlin, technical director at KBR Wi-Fi, reseller responsible for providing Wi-Fi services for the Tour of Britain."To make that happen we have a relatively small time window to set up completely unique WLAN designs at the finishing line of each day's stage, trust that it supports the right level of service under heavy concurrent usage and adverse weather conditions, and then pack it up in minutes, ready to move on to the next venue. That requires a lot from the technology we're using - intelligence, performance, build quality, ease of use – and the OAP832e really delivers.""We chose these APs because of their flexibility, performance and sheer ruggedness," added Tomlin. "Working in tandem with a central controller, the Air Traffic Control operating system ensures the smoothest possible handoffs between each of the APs, and zero concerns about encountering or causing channel interference. It's simple to configure classes of service for user types too, so that – for instance – key organising staff can always manage critical race data in an emergency.""The Aviva Tour of Britain project demonstrates the need for powerful, intelligent and secure solutions to accommodate rising user aspirations for Wi-Fi in society," said Rupert Clayson, regional director for UK & Ireland at Fortinet."The OAP832e is just one part of an extensive Fortinet wireless portfolio with solutions for every eventuality, and – in this case - we're proud to play our part helping to grow the participation and involvement in such a valuable national sporting event."KBR will also be applying the technology to both the men's and women's Aviva Tours of Britain in 2016.

Posted by: Brian Hibbs on January 20, 2008
Categories: Retailing/Industry
Lots of retailer-driven conversation this weekend, and we'll get to the main show in a second, but I realized I forgot to post a link to the newest TILTING AT WINDMILLS on Newsarama. This month I dissect a Dan DiDio quote about branding and COUNTDOWN, as well as talk about the move to an "annual" format for LOVE & ROCKETS.
If you have anything you want to chat about that piece, but don't want to dive into the morass that is Newsarama's Board feel free to use the commenting section below!
On Friday, ComicsPRO released the newest Position Paper on Pre-sales at Conventions. Oddly, you wouldn't know from the actual news sites, I've yet to see anything turn up on them as of yet.
I'd also strongly suggest that people go and read the comments on Johanna's piece about the paper, as I think there's a lot of pretty high-level quality commenting going on by many retailers there.
There's also Tom Spurgeon's thoughts here, as well as my reply to Tom, and his reply to that over here. We'll get back to that in a little while.
Finally, there's a plethora of commentary by Alan David Doane.
So, go read all that and come back.
I'm going to start with that last one, because ADD and I… well I don't know, we generally don't get along, I guess? He's famous for saying "Die, Direct Market, Die!", and as a participant in the Direct Market I oddly take offense to that!
Some of Johanna's comments also fall under the "Well, a lot of comic shops suck; so screw them!" defense (though Johanna, at least, tends to be much more deeply nuanced and also tends to be at least concerned with the changing and/or increasing demographic of READERS who, say, don't want to drive xx miles to a quality comics shop, or would rather buy on-line for a variety of reasons, etc.), so let's start off there.
OH, and lest it be misconstrued, I am, as always, speaking as an individual here, not as a representative of ComicsPRO or its Board.
ComicsPRO is an organization of Direct Market retailers who are trying to make things better for ALL retailers. I have and will probably always stipulate that many stores stink on ice, but I don't see any real relevance in that in terms of a ComicsPRO position paper.
(Well, or at least insofar as I know of their individual operations through anecdote and conduct — I've certainly not personally visited more than a quarter of the membership, at most)
ComicsPRO is, by and large, "the best and the brightest" retailers. The smart ones, the passionate ones, the forward-thinking ones. The ones who outreach to their communities, the ones who get nominated for Eisners, the ones who strongly support as wide a range of material as they can. They're the early-adopters, they're the knowledgeable fonts, they're the communicable-passion carriers who work god-damn hard to move comics forward.
So any argument or debate that is predicated on a "DM stores are lousy, so why should we support stores that don't support us?" is, I think, shredded on contact with ComicsPRO membership — these stores are NOT lousy, and these stores DO support you.
ADD's suggested position paper (his last link above) is pretty laughable in consideration of ComicsPRO's membership. I'm reasonably sure that virtually 100% of the membership would meet virtually 100% of ADD's requirements. And the ones that don't are actually a matter of ADD's preferences or misunderstandings rather than actual signs of professionalism.
Here, I hadn't intended to do this, but since I have that window open, let's discuss a few of those points.
Professional comic book stores do not favor one genre or sub-genre over another.
Professional comic book stores recognize that all comics are comics, no matter what country they originate from, or what format they are published in.
I might (just barely) support language that said "Professional comic book stores recognize that all comics are comics, no matter what country they originate from, or what format or genre they are published in", but as written this couldn't possibly be something that ComicsPRO could possibly endorse.
Why? Well, let's put it this way, would the American Bookseller Association release a policy that said that Mystery- or Science-Fiction-focused bookstores couldn't be considered "professional" bookstores because of their mono-focus? OF COURSE NOT. In exactly the same way, and for exactly the same reasons, ComicsPRO can't and wouldn't say "you can't focus on action/adventure genres" — in exactly the same way we can't and wouldn't say "you can't just focus on manga" (as a small handful of stores in America are doing)
Like ADD, I personally and individually want to see stores offering me the kinds of comics I enjoy as a reader — be that PERSEPOLIS or GREEN LANTERN or BONE or EXIT WOUNDS or FART PARTY or whatever; but unlike ADD, I know for a fact that business owners have every right to make the decisions they want as to THEIR vision of THEIR stores. Some retailers are in conservative communities, some retailers are running pop-culture stores, not comics-as-literature stores, and some retailers are simply following the trends of what their actual customers are actually buying, and weighing their stores appropriately. Who the fuck am I to tell them they're wrong or right?
Taken literally, ADD's first point would mean that a manga cafe like New York's Atom Cafe wouldn't be considered professional, and couldn't join ComicsPRO. (They haven't, but of course they COULD)
If what you want to say is that "Professional comic book stores are quick and willing to take reasonable special order requests" then that might be something that could hold up — but you simply can't insist that a Mystery bookstore sell cookbooks to be considered professional.
I'm totally sympathetic to what ADD's intention here is — he wants more stores that a family of four can walk into and walk out with something for each person, but that's not something that can be "legislated" or codified in a way that won't exclude some one you didn't intend, or, for that matter, that would stand up to anti-trust scrutiny.
And frankly, I'm not sure that there aren't quality professional retail stores that ALAN (and I!) wouldn't shop in but that DO satisfy THEIR customers in that all-four-walk-out-happy, just maybe not all four with a comic.
Moving forward, Alan offers this one:
Professional comic book stores recognize the transition from periodical pamphlet comics to more appealing and enduring graphic novels, and accommodate the readership's clear preference for comics with a spine and a complete story.
Much like the above, I think you'll find that many many stores are not experiencing this. Stores that are not, in any way, "unprofessional"
I'm a book-oriented store, I've championed comic BOOKS nearly my entire professional life (Man, it was me and Rory Root and Bill Liebowitz in that LA conference room nearly 20 years ago now that helped convince the DC that, yes, there was a tremendous potential in their backlist. It was maybe 20 titles deep back then?) so you don't have to sell me on the concept, kiddo — but the periodical is still a VERY viable format, and one that if you even just glance at ICv2's reports is pretty clear is still on a multi-year growth curve.
Books are TOO, but like the above, there's absolutely no way we can (or should) legislate what or how people stock or in what balance.
As I say, I run a comic BOOK store, I prefer selling trades to periodicals, and that's where our focus and energy is, but periodicals still sell VERY well, and, increasingly to the very "civilian" customers that ADD makes sweeping pronouncements about. DARK TOWER, BUFFY SEASON 8 are great examples — those sold like MONSTERS, largely outside of the "Wednesday regulars", and people seemed to LIKE the serialization (they kept coming back, after all). For us, at least, the collections of these comics are doing well, but we sold at least 5x on BUFFY #1 than we did of v1 TP, and DARK TOWER is probably run 7x or so.
This is the last one, ADD says:
Professional comic book stores actively seek to buy from a variety of distributors, not relying on one monopolistic distributor for the entirety of their business, and not settling for receiving books "whenever Diamond ships them," but rather, as soon as they are available, in order to better serve their customers.
Heh. OK, first, you're not going to get a ComicsPRO position paper that will specifically call out one vendor or supplier by name. Besides being beyond tacky, and needlessly confrontational (and more on that later), there are federal anti-trust issues that would absolutely forbid that. Jinkies!
Second off, regular readers will know that I have my fair share of complaints with the way Diamond conducts business, but one thing that Diamond usually does pretty well is moving items from point A to point B accurately and quickly.
In terms of exactly what moves when, these are largely questions of point of printing and point of receipt and timely notification of solicitation. There's plenty of plenty of stuff that comes faster via Diamond than it does from B&T, or even direct from the publisher.
But speed alone isn't the sole consideration here — there's also cost. There's a lot of calculation that needs to be made in terms of shipping costs, manpower, and discounts when looking at what is the "right" source to buy from. For example, I buy most of my "New" Fantagraphics books from Diamond, UNLESS it's a book that I'm ordering 10 or more, then I'd go to B&T, UNLESS its 20 or more, then I'd probably go direct to FBI. It's all a matter of discount and shipping costs — buying that book from FBI means I have to pay shipping on it, whereas B&T has $1 freight. With B&T, the increase in effective discount is about a half-percent better on 10 or more copies over Diamond, otherwise Diamond is the cheapest source. Diamond's also the SOLE distribution source for much of FBI's periodicals. If you buy a book NEW from FBI direct, you get a much better discount, but if its shipping from the printer, the freight costs tend to eat all of your profit because they're sending a single title. If you wait for it to ship from the FBI warehouse along with reorders, you're often adding a week or two to the process.
And so on and so forth.
On the other hand, I buy virtually none of my FBI backlist from Diamond — that either goes direct, or formerly through Cold Cut, and some through B&T if I need something right away. Diamond's my tertiary source because of their reorder fee, and often lackluster stocking commitment.
The decision of WHERE to source a book is very much an INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS decision, and has more factors than ADD seems to want to allow for. And I'm not so sure that speed of delivery alone is the right metric to judge for a profit-focused/needed small business.
Otherwise, I wholly agree with ADD's other points — being clean, organized, well lit, open on time, and so forth. But there's a big part of me that feels that's like issuing a position paper stating that we feel that water is wet, and the sky looks blue, and that fire can burn. There are pretty much already zero-point conclusions for ComicsPRO's membership.
Months ago there was a bit of discussion about having a professional standards paper, but no one stepped forward with a first draft, so I think it went into limbo. But I'll tell you what, I'll post a link to that discussion (and this one) in the ComicsPRO message board, and we'll see if we can find any advocate for putting out a Standards paper. Again, water is wet, but it certainly can't hurt…
I have a little more to say, because I want to comment on Tom's comments, but let's save your attention span and put that into a separate post. See you in an hour or two, I hope….

Trying to understand some things about this error here... I don't believe I should be getting it, yet I am. "The class (ClassA) in file (file) is out of date due to (ClassfileA) but has not been deleted because its source file could not be determined." I have a few issues here... 1) The source file is there on disk, it definitely exists 2) How can it determine it is "out of date" if it can't identify the source file? 3) Is there a way to force it to delete the allegedly out-of-date file even if its source file "could not be determined" and is there anything wrong with such an approach? Thanks, Carlton ***** "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.

WWE superstar Paige loves her man so much that she didn't wait for him to get down on one knee and traditionally propose to her — so she did it herself.
The suspended WWE wrestler climbed into the ring Sunday in Puerto Rico during a WWC wrestling event, dropped down on one knee and popped the question to her wrestler boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio.
Take a look at the moment unfold below.
And by the look of their in-ring kiss and Paige's Instagram account, Del Rio said, "Yes!"
One problem with this in-ring love fest, though — TMZ Sports is reporting that Del Rio is currently married, although he's going forward with his divorce proceedings in Mexico.
Del Rio was released by WWE last month due to failing a drug test. Paige is currently serving a 60-day suspension from WWE, also for failing a drug test, according to the WWE as reported by the New York Post.

I think if there was one alphabet which had a very strong competition going on what to post it was L, should it be my favourite Lemon Cake, the lemon bars, the lemon tarts, lemon meringue, lemon lemon… you get the drift. I love citrus in my bakes.
And then there were the Lamingtons, the child's favourite at home but after everything it is this simple and delicious recipe that won the round.
Lavender & Orange Brownie buttons are small little dark chocolate brownies, flavoured with lavender and orange with a white chocolate and sea salt ganache on top. The recipe has been inspired by Dorie Greenspan's Baking from my home to yours (which is a fantastic book BTW, a book I totally recommend)
Just look at those cute buttons, who doesn't want to eat them? And I promise once you eat one you really won't be able to stop at one. I have had a friend who has eaten 13 of them one after the other without realising it. These are so good. The only problem with them is that you will eat too many, else they are perfect. So don't wait, bake them NOW 🙂
|Prep Time
|15 minutes
|Cook Time
|25 minutes
|Passive Time
|10 minutes
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 55 gms butter (4 tbsp)
- 70 gms dark chocolate chopped
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg large
For the brownie
- Preheat the oven to 180C, Line a 24 hole mini-muffin pan with mini liners or grease it well with butter.
- Finely chop the dried lavender flowers and mix them with orange zest and 1 tsp sugar using your fingertips. This helps in releasing aromas and also helps to reduce orange zest becoming lumpy.
- Melt together butter, dark chocolate and brown sugar using a double boiler or in a microwave oven for 1-2 mins, stirring every 30 seconds so that it doesn't lump.
- Stir the vanilla, egg and zest-lavender sugar into the chocolate mixture. When the mixture is blended, add the flour and stir only till it is incorporated, do not overmix. You should have a smooth, glossy yet thick batter.
- Spoon about 1.5 tbsp of batter in each of the prepared muffin tin and bake for about 10-12 minutes till the toothpick comes out clean. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
- In the meanwhile, melt chopped white chocolate, cream and sea salt together over a double boiler or in microwave for 30 seconds. Do not overmelt the white chocolate. After 30 mins and a little whisking the chocolate should be ready.
- Once the buttons are cool, using a fork or piping bag spread the white chocolate on the buttons in zig zag fashion, u can even dip the buttons in the chocolate but I find it too sweet then.
- The buttons are ready to be served

Make sure your child understands why you feel honesty is important, then ask your child what they think is an appropriate punishment. Don't let them give you some meager punishment, but insist on something that they have to sacrifice.
Our daughter came up with giving up going to a friend's birthday party. When the day came, she really felt the full weight of the punishment.

Unfortunately this is part of life and i would be surprised if you could find many kids who do not go through this stage. You just need to try and make them understand that it is not the correct thing to do. Maybe reward them for telling the truth, and punish them for lying. The alternative thing that used to scare me when i was growing up was my father used to tell me "Tell the truth or shame the Devil" saying God wouldnt accept me in heaven for shaming the Devil.

Unified e-mail security for enterprises
: 07 October, 2008
(New Product)
Proofpoint 5.5 release enhanced to include wider language support, data loss prevention features and backscatter spam protection
Proofpoint has introduced Proofpoint 5.5, the latest version of its integrated email and data security solution. Proofpoint 5.5's unified email security platform—which can be deployed in on-demand (SaaS), on-premises, or hybrid configurations—defends against inbound spam and viruses, prevents leaks of confidential and private data, encrypts sensitive email contents and helps companies optimise the performance and usability of their entire email infrastructure.
Significant enhancements in Proofpoint 5.5 help reduce a wide variety of email risks associated with inbound threats and outbound data loss while improving ease-of-use for administrators and end-users. In addition, Proofpoint 5.5 incorporates expanded international capabilities including a fully localised Japanese language version of Proofpoint's administrative interface, enhanced language detection features and data loss prevention capabilities for multi-byte languages.
"Proofpoint 5.5 is truly a global offering," said Sandra Vaughan, senior vice president of marketing and products for Proofpoint. "With outstanding performance against multi-lingual spam and a wide selection of end-user interfaces, Proofpoint has long been the email and data security solution of choice for global enterprises. Enhanced internationalisation of our solution combined with new security and data loss prevention features make Proofpoint 5.5 the ideal solution for organisations in any geography."
BATV Specification Support for Enhanced Protection against Spam Backscatter
Proofpoint 5.5 offers improved bounce management features that block 100 percent of "backscatter" spam. As spam volumes have grown, backscatter—the barrage of non-delivery report messages (NDRs) and auto-responses caused by spammers spoofing an organisation's email addresses—has become an increasingly serious problem for most organisations.
To combat this threat, Proofpoint 5.5 incorporates support for the latest BATV (Bounce Address Tag Validation) specification. BATV tags outbound messages and then validates incoming NDRs and auto-responses against those tags to block
caused by spam attacks.
Previous generations of the Proofpoint MLX anti-spam engine have blocked 80% or more of all
using patent-pending machine learning techniques. The new bounce management features allow organisations to block the remaining 20 percent of
and improve overall spam detection accuracy beyond the industry-leading 99.8%+ spam detection rate delivered by MLX alone.
The new version enhances Proofpoint's suitability for global deployments with an array of internationalisation and non-English language features beyond the multi-lingual end-user interfaces and advanced, non-English spam detection capabilities of previous versions. These features are especially important as international requirements for data protection become increasingly complex.
A new localisation framework allows Proofpoint 5.5 to support non-English languages and international (multi-byte) character sets in every part of the product including policy definitions, dictionaries and annotations.
With the introduction of Proofpoint 5.5, Proofpoint's entire administrative GUI, product documentation and online help have been fully translated into the Japanese language, providing many benefits for Proofpoint's Japan-based and multinational customers. As with Proofpoint's end-user interfaces, each administrator's language preferences can be set on an individual basis. Additional international language administrative interfaces including French, German and Spanish will be made available with future product releases.
Proofpoint's policy and content scanning engines now detect and "understand" text in any language, including multi-byte languages such as Japanese. New capabilities include:.
* Data loss prevention and email
policies enforced by the Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance.
* Proofpoint Secure Messaging modules can match non-English keywords and dictionary items written in international character sets including Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic (Russian).
* Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance includes two new "smart identifiers" for accurately detecting Japan's Jyuminhyou (residence registration) and driver's license IDs. This module also accurately detects Japanese and international credit card numbers and a wide variety of other identifiers for protecting private financial, healthcare and identify information.
* Administrators can create policies that are triggered based on the language detected in the content of an email. For example, attach language-specific disclaimers or signatures to an outbound message depending upon the language in which it was written.
* International data loss prevention policies for email can be applied to outbound HTTP (including web-based email, blog postings and message board submissions) and FTP traffic using the Proofpoint Network Content Sentry module.
* Email end-users can select their own preferred language for interfaces including message digests and web-based quarantines. End users can select from Chinese, Dutch, English, German, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish versions.
In addition to the international data loss prevention features described previously, Proofpoint 5.5 also includes enhanced DLP workflow features for improved incident status tracking.
Administrators, compliance officers or other appropriate business users can review, comment upon and track outbound policy violations. The new features automate many of the processes associated with remediating data loss prevention policy violations, saving organisations time and money in the process.
New features let compliance administrators:.
* Track the status of outbound policy violations.
* Mark messages with a variety of status labels (eg, in progress, escalated, resolved) and add their own labels.
* Add comments to messages and display message status in the Proofpoint's quarantined message list.
* Search for messages by specific status and export the matching messages to a spreadsheet for later review.
* View comment trails for specific messages.
The advanced message tracking and log analysis features delivered by the optional Proofpoint Smart Search module have been enhanced. Proofpoint Smart Search now makes it easier to track messages and this module can be deployed with other Proofpoint modules or as a separate appliance. Proofpoint Smart Search allows administrators and non-technical help desk personnel to trace messages in real-time, directly from the Proofpoint administrative interface. New capabilities for Proofpoint Smart Search in version 5.5 include:.
* Simplified search: Simply enter information such as sender, recipients or subject to quickly search for messages.
* Enhanced drill down: Start with summary results, drill down for additional detail all the way to the raw log file level, if desired.
* Enhanced export: Search results can be exported in CSV or XML format.

The Church's Role in the Fight Against Assisted Suicide
By Faye Sonier
Parliament clearly expressed its will in 2010 when Members of Parliament voted resoundingly against a bill which sought to decriminalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. The Supreme Court of Canada plainly ruled against the practices in the 1993 Rodriguez case, in which it found Parliament's jurisdiction and legislation in this area to be sound.
Democratic process and our highest court's findings seemingly insufficient, a B.C. lower court judge decided to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide with her 2012 Carter v. Canada decision, which is currently under appeal. The government of Quebec is now arguing that it can permit the practices as well, under its constitutional power to regulate healthcare.
As the Carter case winds its way through the appeal process, Evangelicals will be represented. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada is intervening at the British Columbia Court of Appeal and has filed its written legal arguments. The EFC is arguing that the sanctity of human life is a valid Parliamentary consideration under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that ethically, morally, and legally, dying and killing are drastically different things. As stated in the factum, "There can be such as a thing as a good death. There is never such a thing as a good killing."
The case will be heard in March. The lower court decision needs to be overturned not only to ensure the lives of Canada's most vulnerable citizens and to prevent the abuses that have occurred in jurisdictions where these practices have been legalized, but to affirm Canada's life respecting ethos.
This is literally a life-or-death legal challenge. The Church needs to be present in the courts, on Parliament Hill and in the public square offering an alternative response to suffering. State-sanctioned patient killing is not the answer. The Church is well-equipped to play a key role, by its history of engagement, its concern for its neighbours, by the Biblical principles it holds to, and by the hope it has in Christ. He has equipped His Body to care for the suffering.
Research from jurisdictions where assisted suicide and euthanasia have been legalized clearly shows that due to advances in palliative care and pain management, most people request an early death not because of physical pain, but because of metaphysical suffering. They're losing hope. They feel alone. They fear becoming a burden to their loved ones. They don't believe society values their lives.
The suffering this research describes is heart-breaking. But it also identifies an important opportunity for the Church, and a reason for hope.
The Church knows how to minister to those who are infirm or elderly – it has been doing so for two thousand years. In Church pews is found the expertise, the people and the passion to make a difference. And a number of palliative care specialists are calling the Church to join them on the frontlines.
A few years ago, I attended meetings with some of North America's leading palliative care experts. They related these research findings. They shared that while medication and mental health care will ease emotional and psychological pain, the suffering and the sick can find a great deal of comfort and symptom reduction through practical expressions of care, love and support by their community – expressions of the "love your neighbour" principle.
These measures can make the difference between a suicidal patient and one who finds meaning in his or her last days. Studies, like the findings from Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov's Dignity Therapy, prove that the will to live is increased when patients are offered consideration and dignity.
The palliative care specialists I spoke with were hopeful as they set out these facts, because as a community, we can help pull people back from the brink of suicide. To make a significant impact, the Church doesn't have to spend years raising funds for equipment or training. The Church can make a difference today – by simply being what it was always called to be.
Responding to these cries of desperation may be one of the most important calls for this generation. Our culture is facing fears that it is trying to resolve with laws rather than relationship and truth. As the Church, we have the knowledge, experience and calling to play a culture- and life-saving role. Let's heed that call and transform our culture, restoring a focus on life rather than debating death.

I'm a work in progress....under construction all the time.
Originally from Michigan, I came here for grad school five years ago and stayed.
I like sarcasm, hiking in Great Falls, and dogs, though I'm only allowed a cat in my apartment.
My nickname is Panda...hence my name here. It is one of my life goals to find a panda in China and hug it (legally, of course). Another is to go to Costa Rica and volunteer for the sloth orphanage (update: though I did not get to volunteer for the sloth orphanage, I did get to go to Costa Rica and pet a sloth...close enough). Yes, I know it is odd.
I have a cat named Sterling Mallory Archer, codenamed "Duchess". If you understand this, and it amuses you, we would probably get along.
I run a lot of races - for fun. No timing. I don't actually like running all that much, but working on it. My favorites this year have been Warrior Dash, The Zombie Run, and the Color Run.
Yes, in case you were wondering, I do edit your profile in my head while I am reading it.
Trying new things.
Shopping for other people.
Crow position in yoga.
Exclamation Points.
My bluntness.
My sarcasm.
My teeny tiny ears. Seriously.
My cheekbones.
Others include Good Will Hunting, Chocolat, Fight Club, The Blind Side, The King's Speech, Amelie, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Pianist, 300 (historical inaccuracies and all), Sherlock Holmes, Batman (Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?), and other randoms you've never heard of...or maybe you have, which will make me like you even more.
Love bad and good TV (these are in no particular order): Dr. Who, Being Human, Arrow, Bones, Castle, Battlestar Galactica, Hoarders, Intervention, Sons of Anarchy, Big Bang Theory. Archer is definitely one of my favorite shows. Also getting into Game of Thrones. I'm also all about the hockey.
Music: All of it. I like to sing and play the piano, so I am definitely more of a ballady, musical type kind of girl, but I like to get loud and angry as well. Adele is high on my list at the moment. I like it all. Dance, Country, Hard, Grunge, Ska - pretty sure my iPod has a dissociative personality disorder from all the genres it is tormented with. Music is a passion.
Food: Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, American. As long as I don't have to cook it, I like it.
My bicycle / the gym
Family / Friends
Sea Salt Caramels (ok, that makes seven, but these are imperative!)
The beach.
Why that driver from DC/MD/VA is continually in my bike lane.
Raspberry Lambic.
Incomplete sentences.
Saving the world, one editing job at a time.
Finding the hidden corners of DC that don't have scores of interns swamping them. I prefer a quiet bar than a loud club.
Or, trying new restaurants, watching movies, catching up on tv shows, doing laundry, going for a night hike, etc.
I try not to have typical Fridays.
One of the coolest moments of my life is when I got to get onstage at a Train concert and sing "Don't Stop Believing". And yes, I have video.
Also, I work out five days a week at least. No exceptions. I would like a workout buddy...perhaps someone who can teach me how to enjoy running.
Also, if you like the musical The Book of Mormon. Let's be friends, because you obviously have a great sense of humor.
You don't take yourself too seriously. Life is too short. Seriously.

Book Review #RBRT
Book Title: Midnight Sisters
Author: Sarah E Boucher
Category: Myths and Fairy Tales
My Rating: 4 Star
My Review:
I'm unfamiliar with the original fairy tale that this novel is based on, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, so I can't comment on the uniqueness of this re-telling. However, I can say that it is a thoroughly enjoyable book in its own right. I did keep expecting the sisters to disappear into a magical land but I think this was down to the book being placed under the myths and fairy tale category. I think it would be better suited in young adult romance.
I liked Jonas from his first appearance. He is a fully rounded character with a nice sense of humour. The interaction he has with his supervisor, Gregor, and his friend, Braden is quite heart-warming. Continue reading "#BookReview Midnight Sisters by @saraheboucher #TuesdayBookBlog #RBRT"

Boat summary: 35-foot 1936 Chris-Craft Aft Cabin Cruiser
This rare cruiser (hull # 3612) is in excellent condition throughout. The main cabin has dual doors and roll-up windows, and the forward galley includes refrigerator, sink and propane stove. Both forward and aft cabins have sleeping berths and their own head, and the boat has the original jacquard between-cabin curtains. All interior-rolled canvas tops are in perfect condition. Engines are in excellent condition. It alsohas shore power and dc/ac inverter.
This boat was repowered with twin 1964 Ford 292 ci V-8s, providing potential top speed of 30 mph.
Sold for $65,000
Market Summary: This model boat is very rare. The 36-footcruisers of the same configuration (produced through 1939) are more common.
Currently there are four other 35-foot Aft Cabin cruisers of this configuration on the market. Pricing ranges from $29,000 to $69,000 for a like vessel fully restored with original reconditioned motors.
The current market for any wood cruiser over 30 feet is rather fickle. Larger cruisers have seen the bottom fall out of the market in the last two years. But pre-war boats in the 30- to 40-foot range that have been very well maintained and have unique styling for that specific period (this model shows a very "art deco" design), will still command strong listing price. When you consider the overall condition and the unique styling for the era, we feel this is a great deal.
