In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"Tessa was unmoved. "I won't know if I like it until I try it, will I?" "I've never swum naked in the Thames, but I know I wouldn't like it." "But think how entertaining for sightseers"Tessa and Will
"This," he said, "Is Will's room" "Gracious," Tessa said. "I've never been in here. I was starting to imagine he slept upside down, like a bat."Jem and Tessa
"Having your annual everyone-thinks-Will-is-a-lunatic meeting, are you?" "It's biannual."Will and Jem
""And doing nothing, I find, rarely accomplishes anything.""Henry Branwell
""By the Angel, perhaps we do need a chaperone.""Jem Carstairs
"Don't make it sound like that. Like some ordinary sort of grief. it's not like that. They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of grief is finite. Over. This is a fresh wound every day."Will, on his curse
"It is what is left to him," said Will. "Do you recall what he says to Lucie? 'If it had been possible...that you could have returned the love of the man you see before yourself - flung away, wasted, drunken, poor creature of misuse as you know him to be - be would have been conscious this day and hour, in spite of happiness, that he would bring you to misery, bring you to sorrow and repentance, blight you, disgrace you, pull you down with him -"Will quoting "A Tale of Two Cities"
""So it wasn't that you were so weary of my inepitude that you were going to hurl yourself off the roof? ""Sophie
""I will die, and you know it, Tess. Probably within the next year. I am dying, and I have no family in the world, and the one person I trusted more than any other made sport of what is killing me.""Jem
"Tessa. Her name rang in Will's mind like the chime of a bell; he wondered if any other name on earth had such an inescapable resonance to it. She couldn't have been named something awful, could she, like Mildred. He couldn't imagine lying awake at night, staring up at the ceiling while invisible voices whispered "Mildred" to his ears. But Tessa..."Will
"Jessamine flushed. "I do not. I mean, I did not. I mean-ugh! Charlotte, Will's being vexing." "And the sun has come up in the east," said Jem, to no one in particular."Jessamine and Jem
""Is this a game? We just blurt out whatever word comes next to mind? In that case mine's 'genuphobia.' It means an unreasonable fear of knees." "What's the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of annoying idiots?" inquired Jessamine."Will and Jessamine
""But the demon I need-well, he was really a cobalt blue. This one's more...periwinkle.""Will
"Are you going to take Coleridge back from me, or shall I just stand here forever in this rather foolish position?"Will
""Aloysius Starkweather is the most stubborn, hypocritical, obstinate, degenerate-" She broke off, clearly fighting for control of her temper. Tessa had never seen Charlott's mouth so firmly set into a hard line. "Would you like a thesaurus?" Will inquired..."You seem to be running out of words.""Charlotte and Will
""Darling," said Henry anxiously, coming around the desk to where his wife was sitting, "are you quite all right? You look a bit-splotchy." He wasn't wrong. Red patches of rage had broken out over Charlotte's face and throat. "I think it's charming," said Will. "I've heard polka dots are the last word in fashion this season.""Henry and Will
""What is this...this...this...thing?" "A parsnip?" Jem suggested. "A parsnip planted in Satan's own garden,""Will and Jem
""Sophie, my dear, there is nothing to worry about. Many's the time I have wanted to hit Jessamine over the head myself.""Will
"Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw his arms up. "A demon pox on all your houses!""Will
"I feel myself dissolving, vanishing into nothingness, for if there is no one in the world who cares for you, do you really exist at all?"
""It will have to be Jem. He's impossible to hate. Even that devil cat likes him.""Will

Do you have a product to sell? Or maybe you want someone to sign up for your email newsletter. If this is the case, then you need to design a great landing page. Why? Because great landing pages convert your visitors into leads and sales.
Examples include dating sites like Plenty of Fish which convert the majority of their visitors into new members.
So how do you design a great landing page that gets conversions? Neil Patel just wrote a post that shows how you do it called 7 Things Every (Great) Landing Page Needs. If you're too lazy to read it, I'm going to highlight on takeaway I got from his article.
Get Real Testimonials
You always want to have real stats and testimonials to back up your product. So whenever you get a customer, always try to get a testimonial from them. Neil suggests that each testimonial should include your customer's full name, picture, and most importantly, what kind of results they got with your product.
Case studies also work really well. Create an awesome case study which shows your product achieving real results can boost your sales dramatically.
If your product is truly great, then people using your product is all the proof you need. The Genesis Theme Framework by Studiopress is a good example of this. So many of the top marketing blogs are using Genesis these days which in turn provides great social proof for new customers.
If you want to sell more of your product, then you need to design a good landing page. Sure it's not easy, but it's essential. So if you can't design on yourself, go out and get one designed by a professional web designer. Or use a crowdsourcing site like 99designs which is a great alternative as well.

Here are a few more nice printable coupons from Suave Naturals Everlasting Sunshine products and Crave Cat Treats , plus I have some deal ideas for both of them.
Starting next week, Publix will be having a sale on Suave products and the Everlasting Sunshine products were included in the sale last time. If that happens again, you will be able to pick these up for about 25 cents each if your store doubles, 75 cents if your store does not double.
There's also a pretty good deal on Suave Naturals Everlasting Sunshine Shampoo at Walmart. Here's your deal scenario:
BUY ONE SUAVE NATURALS EVERLASTING SUNSHINE SHAMPOO, regular price $1.46
Use one $0.50/1 Suave Everlasting Sunshine Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Lotion, Body Wash or Deodorant (zip 33712)
As for the Crave coupon, we often see deals on this product at Publix, but if your cats dig these treats, you can always go to a place like Target or Walmart to pick up a good deal right now. Here's the Walmart scenario:
BUY TWO CRAVE CAT TREATS, regular price $1.47
Use one BOGO Buy One Crave Cat Treats, Get One FREE (zip 02222)
NET PRICE FOR ALL: $1.47 (or 73 cents each!)
Thanks to I Heart the Mart and I Heart Publix for the tips.

URGENT - France Zeid Death
POSTED: 7:57 AM Mar 23 2013
(CNN) -- France has confirmed the death of Abdelhamid Abou Zeid, a deputy leader of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. He was killed February in an operation led by the French forces in Northern Mali. French officials would not confirm his death at the time, saying they were waiting for the results of DNA analysis.

ALBANY, GA -- The playoff lights were shining brightest at the Palace in Tift County. Par for the 2012-13 season, the sort of special attention didn't bother the Blue Devils.
Heralded by most as the state's best high school team, the Blue Deviled basketball stars, stayed true to their own expectations in a 70-48 first round win over McEachern.
Blue Devils Tadric Jackson and Brannen Greene remedied a 10-2 early deficit to snag a 17-14 lead after the first quarter. Tift County will host Westlake in the second round of the state playoffs.
Westover's High Flying Act Too Much for North Clayton
Westover and the Patriot pride went on some kind of run to win the AAAA-Region 1 championship. After Wednesday, Westover showed they have more than pride—they have talent for an extended playoff run.
The Patriots showed the goods in a highlight-packed 84-59 rout of North Clayton. Senior standouts Kel Miller and T.J. Cromer spent most of their time hanging on the rim leading the team with 23 and 21 points respectively.
Westover will host Westside, Macon in the second round of the state playoffs.

I think all history should be saved. I read where some developer wanted to start taking battlefields and put houses stores and cell phone towers on them. This developer said that these fields were useless pieces of land that nobody cared about. People do care about these fields. They are where our great great great grandfathers died. These are the places where young sons and brothers, friends, fathers, and neighbors lived, fought and died together. ____________________ War Means Fighting And Fighting Means Killing - N. B.

Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
Does anyone use this mod, or perhaps remember it?
It was created by the SA team the same ones who created SA Facebook, Twitter and Google+ mods.
A long time ago, like 3 websites ago lol.. they had this final version of SA-Downloads 0.3.1 Rev23..
I downloaded it because I love it so much, it's simple and easy and integrates into the site very well! Unlike the other popular download system here, it looks horrible in my opinion and is way to much for a "simple download system".. Anyways they basically said a long time ago that they were abandoning it, why I do not know.. but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take it up and continue working with it to expand it even further or just to keep it working with future versions of SMF, right now the only problem I have with it is it's not displaying pages at all, it shows the first download page even though there should be several and that's about it.. other than that it has been working great!
But anyways, I have the zip on my forum just let me know and I will get you a copy.
Do you know how to configure it? The documentation is important for future development and support
All documentation of the orignal site has been lost.
I tried entering the App ID in facebookauth/base_facebook.php
I don't believe this is the correct manner...
--- Code: ---public function __construct($config) {
if (isset($config['fileUpload'])) {
$state = $this->getPersistentData('state');
if (!empty($state)) {
$this->state = $this->getPersistentData('state');
--- End code ---
The AppId and Secret are bogus numbers...
--- Quote ---An error occurred with Test. Please try again later.
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.
--- End quote ---
And this is the error I got back, please reply I'm considering future support...
This thread has nothing to do with the facebook mod..
Redistributing a mod, without the author's consent, is, I would suggest, a little unethical.
--- Quote from: K@ on June 17, 2012, 05:11:47 AM ---Redistributing a mod, without the author's consent, is, I would suggest, a little unethical.

European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Plate with Pluto Abducting Persephone Made in Urbino, Italy, Europec. 1525-35 Circle of Nicola di Gabriele Sbraghe, called Nicola da Urbino, Italian (active Urbino), recorded 1520, died 1537/38 Tin-glazed earthenware (maiolica) * Gallery 250, European Art 1500-1850, second floor 2005-184-1 125th Anniversary Acquisition. The Howard I. and Janet H. Stein Collection, 2005 |
LabelThis handsome plate was executed by a skilled painter familiar with the mature style of Nicola da Urbino. Recent scholarship has associated the style of painting on the plate with the work of an unidentified master called the "Painter of the Apollo Basin," named after a piece dated 1532 in the Musei Civici, Pesaro, Italy.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

Sparkling jars of brilliant red are lovely to behold, but it's the taste—sweet and tangy while packing a bit of heat—that make this jam simply outstanding. This jam is best made using a combination of mild and hot peppers. I used Anaheim, poblano and jalapeño peppers, but you can use bell peppers or whatever is available locally.

what to buy for someone who knows whisky
I need to buy a bottle of whisky for a bartender who knows a lot about whisky- but I'm clueless about it.
He also drinks cognac, and prefers more bitter spirits. Any suggestions? |
Scotch for a Cognac Drinker
My suggestion is to marry what you know about his knowledge of whisky with knowing he drinks Cognac. The easy answer is Isle of Arran, Napolean Cognac cask finish, if you can find it. Wine-searcher.com shows Park Avenue Liquor in NYC still with some - it was a limited edition bottling. They list it at $80 USD. Also, Arran's whiskies have generally received quite high marks from the critics and press since their first release, so you can feel confident you're not just giving but giving good.
We suggest you stick to his favorites if you know it as it's safest bet. Or choose from the more popular whiskys which is usually liked by most, like Johnnie Walker, Ballentines, Chivas etc.
Otherwise you can check this article we recently found online about whisky buying. http://goarticles.com/article/Whisky...n-Art/4330217/ Hope it helps. |
It's not that these brands might not be serviceable drinks, it's more that they are so common. They are a poor buy for someone who is thought to know something about the product category. They are great brands - but this is also very different from saying they are great products. The trick for the buyer and giver of the gift is, since they're admittedly clueless about the product category, to find a store whose ****sperson can give them a bit of accurate information about product in a way that they may easily repeat if the receiver of the gift doesn't know what they've been given. Of course, this is more easily said than done, as most store's staffs know very little about the products they sell. (This is one of my biggest criticisms of the U.S. wine & spirits industry, and consequently allows for the typical consumer to be **** a mountain of crap being tendered as quality product/brands.) The brands mentioned above, and the Courvoisier reference, generally fall into this, IMHO. Using the Cognac as an example, there are nearly two thousand Cognac producers, but only a couple hundred who've been able to establish their own brand. The Hennessey brand represents roughly 65% of global Cognac ****s; add Remy, Courvoisier, and Martell and these monster four represents roughly 85% of global Cognac ****s. The bulk of Cognac producers merely supply to these companies similarly as most malt distillers major revenue is producing for the blenders. The point I'm trying to make here is these types of products are often guided by market share and profits more so than quality. In fact, quality is often never mentioned in their brand missions. These products are the "fast food" of their respective product categories, and giving these kinds of products are like giving a Big Mac to a trained chef. They're sometimes serviceable but not for someone who is identified as knowing a little. Even if it turns out they know nothing, they're still getting a more unique gift, and almost always a better product. If they look into it at all, they will be more appreciative of the gift due to a perception that time was taken to choose the unique quality gift as opposed to that of having picked up something quick. There's a general rule of thumb many in the industry who share a similar opinion about this as me: If the brand is advertised on TV, radio, newspapers and glossy magazines, stay away from it - if you're trying to buy quality and not brand awareness and image. As for me, I'm a "slow-food" movement guy. And this goes for my drinking. I'd much rather get something that might promise to be good because it is rarely seen than something found everywhere that is likely to be mediocre. Even in the single malt category this is quite often the case. I'm not trying to bash any brands or distillers (though I surely can), but I am trying to implore people to step outside of their comfort with brands like these because they'll generally drink better for their money - and they just might learn a little while they're at it. |
Cognac because of the age statement. My question to the OP regarding whisk(e)y was determine what suggestions might be appropriate. If you're looking for bourbon/rye suggestions, I'm confident I could come up with a couple you might appreciate. |
Since you posted in the "Bourbons,..." forum, are you looking for
Whiskey (Bourbon, Rye, etc.) or Whisky (Scotch)? As far as a Cognac, Courvoisier has a nice 12 year age statement cognac that you could probably pick up for $45. or so. |

The 20 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2013
From the blues to the big top, we've picked the most intriguing small towns to enjoy arts and smarts
- By Susan Spano
- Smithsonian magazine, April 2013
(© Eduardo Rubiano)
Home to Dartmouth College, Hanover has all the New England college town trappings: bookstores, cafés, galleries and an idyllic setting in the upper valley of the Connecticut River with covered bridges, New Hampshire Lake District vistas, mountains, ski resorts (Killington, Storrs, Ragged Mountain), brilliant fall foliage and maple syrup. The college, founded in 1769, provides such cultural attractions as the Hood Museum of Art, performances at the Hopkins Center, and Baker Library murals by the Mexican painter José Clemente Orozco, while adding a Winter Carnival ice sculpture and some of the Ivy League's wildest parties (the 1978 cult classic Animal House was inspired by Dartmouth's Alpha Delta Phi fraternity). Nearby hamlets yield more soulful diversions, like Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner with its miraculously reclaimed Medicine Woods; Enfield Shaker Museum, a small community on the shores of Mascoma Lake where Shaker "simple gifts" endured for over 100 years; Mount Ascutney, a 3,130-foot monadnock across the river in Vermont; Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site preserving the summer home of celebrated American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in the 19th century art colony of Cornish; not to mention the blissful New England country roads that reach them.

How does a community get recognized? With the 13 million dollar exhibit revitalization of the Northwest Territory Museum & Gallery , Dixon , Illinois now has 6, yes 6 , outstanding museums in a town of less than 15,000 residents. There's also The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home, The Newspaper History Museum, The Next Picture Show Art Gallery, The Loveland Museum of History. And, the John Deer Home, Black Smith Shop, and Museum. Interestingly, The Northwest Territory Museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institute with the entire third floor being a a Smithsonian research library. So how can a community like this be recognized,

I think Seward and Valdez were my favorites! I loved watching the eagles fly against the lush green mountainside in Seward . The diverse wildlife in and around Valdez was awesome ! However ... The drive into Valdez was spectacular , with glaciers so close you felt you could reach out and touch them! The numerous waterfalls and and what has to be the freshest air in Gods green earth .... Exist there.... In Valdez Alaska !!! Oh how I long to see and smell it again!!!! Life changing!

I just wanted to add to your list for next year, one of the best small towns in America. Portsmouth, NH. It's a town of about 21,000 people located right on the water, 1 hour from Boston, 1hour from Portland, ME 45 minutes to the Lakes region and 1 1/2 hours to the White Mountains. It offers everything from theatre, great restaurants, sailing, kayaking and many other recreational activities. Please come for a visit to find out how great Portsmouth, NH is.

Sorry folks but Healdsburg, CA in Sonoma County beats them all. Small town, no chain stores, great restaurants, over 150 wineries, cost of living is low and no crime!!! Bonus... Bear Republic Brewery, brewer of Racer 5, is located right off the town plaza!!!

The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX is an incredible multimedia experience that can take a full day and seem like a few minutes. It is up there with the Science & Technology Museum in Munich, NASA in Houston, Museum of Natural History in NYC, etc. Worth staying over to see it all.

The "Former Texas Rangers" have forbidden the Comanche Nation to continue honoring the only treaty in our history that has never been broken. The City of Fredericksburg, Texas, was planning to build a pow wow arena so that the Comanche pow wow could return every year, when the rangers came to town and took over. They want to bulldoze and build on this historic site. The official Texas Ranger Museum is in Waco, not Fredericksburg. Please help us savr this historic site. http://honorthetreaty.org/

I loved seeing Sitka, Alaska, my town, on the list! They mentioned the joke on mt edgecumb but i didnt read anything about our amazing fishery. We have great king (and other) salmon fishing, halibut, crab, shrimp, and clams. Wild salmonberries ,huckleberries, cranberries and blueberries grow wild here. Hiking that is great for the whole family. anyways just giving a shout out:)

Coronado, California. It's the crown jewel of the west coast. Google it or better yet, go there yourself and see.

I couldn't agree more with your decision to put Petoskey on the list of summer "go to" places. I started vacationing there in 1988. I rented a place in Bay View for twelve years and knew it was where I wanted (and needed) to spend my summers! My husband surprised me by putting in an offer on a cottage in Bay View in 1999. The rest is history.... I will be packing my bags next week for my annual pilgrimage north! Thanks for recognizing the beauty of northern Michigan. Jane Austin
Posted by Jane Austin on May 10,2013 | 12:52 PM
Thank you for that great recognition. My book won the 2011 State History Award "Bay View, an American Idea" covers the close relationship of Bay View and the Hemingway family. Hemingway's mother a fine singer was deeply involved in the women's movement in Chicago and many of the women spoke in Bay View. His sisters both fine musicians performed on the Bay View stage - one a harpist and the other a violist. His aunt was a nationally known children's story tell who taught in Bay View.His brother in law was the grand nephew of John M.Hall the creator of the Bay View Assembly reading circle and magazine. Sterling met Marcelline in Bay View while she was staying at the home of Trumbull White. The family were close friends of Bay View assembly director Trumbull White who was a nationally known editor, writer, and war correspondent. Hemingway saught advice from him as a writer and the first thing Hemingway did was to take off to war.

Posted by Janice W on May 2,2013 | 05:43 PM
Fairfield is not only #7 small town to visit, it is one of the very best to live in. Homes are a bargain from 3 bedrooms under $100,000 to a 15 acre 8000 sq.. feet home with lake and barn for horses for under $600,000. Most everything seems unbelievably inexpensive.

Naples, Fl was on thr 2012 list and should have made this one. Great West Coast of Florida town for class, art, shopping, boating, beaches, golf,tennis, 3rd street, 5th ave, great dining, etc. Not just a place for winter snow-birds. Been everywhere and this is where I picked for home-sweet-home. Some may think a little high toned and up-erty? Well thats all great with us!!

I, for one, didn't need confirmation of something I already knew: that Gettysburg is the best small town travel site in America. (But I'm glad it has been recognized in the Smithsonian Mag as well.) Gettysburg has something for everyone and I feel it's safe to say I can't think of anyone I know that would not enjoy a trip there. I love it there so much that I've seriously thought of packing up and moving to the area - leaving friends and family behind.

How could you have missed Vermont--a state of best small towns? Especially when you include an article about David Mamet who loves his small town in Vermont and contributes to it substantially in making it a community. And communities are what small town Vermonts are.
Posted by gail e anderson on April 4,2013 | 03:31 PM
So thrilled to see our wonderful Gettysburg at Number 1. Came here as children to visit as did our parents, with their parents to remember their grands who fought here on the fields.... We moved here in 2005 from PG County MD and have NEVER regretted it ~ Thanks Smithsonian! We appreciate your support and goodwill. C'mon up (or down) y'all and "set a spell"...:)

Posted by mary canaday-gray on April 1,2013 | 10:26 AM
What a lovely overhead view of Lihue, and how wise of you to shoot from there because down at the street level it's a whole other story. Unless this town has had a major facelift since 2009, that beautiful beach at Kalapaki is populated by overnight drunks who sleep on the tables and benches leaving no room for a vistor. Garbage lies in the streets, and the noise from the relentless 'boomcars' keeps the hotel occupants up half the night while an indifferent police force stands by doing nothing. Marijuana is everywhere. If you have a lot of money and can live at the other end of the island, you don't have to deal with the urban rot of Lihue but that's where the ships come in and it makes a terrible impression. This is NOT one of the country's "best small towns." It has lost its aloha.
Posted by Judy Ellis` on April 1,2013 | 07:06 AM
could you please just show the entire list and make it linkable? that way you can eyeball the entire list and just click on the ones you want to see. clicking thru 22 pages (which take FOREVER to load) is too frustrating. won't do it, even though i'd love to see the list. i simply don't have the time to navigate so slowly.
Posted by Nicki on March 29,2013 | 12:45 PM
It sure would be nice if we could just view the list without having to click 22 times. Dislike.
Posted by Liz on March 29,2013 | 10:33 AM
Seems a potpourri of criteria (including what qualifies as a "small town" were used in the selection process which makes the list uninteresting to me and dubious, although there were a couple of good places to visit. Who ever did the web design should be put in a corner with a dunce cap for an hour... horrible to navigate! Can't believe I made it all the way through but was trying to see if I could find a pattern the the selection process... unsuccessfully.

Or get up early for the sunrise t at the beach that sets your day in place.
Posted by tom carroll on March 28,2013 | 11:48 AM
I got a big kick out of reading Tony Horwitz's writeup on Gettysburg, PA. As kids, we too visited in the 60's. Driving into town we passed an old, dilapidated sign for the Home Sweet Home motel, and laughed about how we thought the motel would be in the same shape as the sign. We didn't have reservations anywhere, so drove down the main street in town looking for a suitable place to stay. And what did we find? A very nice brick motel with white scrollwork - the Home Sweet Home motel. Dad talked to the clerk, maybe the owner, and said we needed a place for six. He said I've got just the place for you, and showed us a big room with 3 double beds all lined up in a row! The next day, touring the battlefield, we looked out across the area where Pickett's Charge took place, and there in the middle of it was the Home Sweet Home motel! I don't remember a lot about that trip, but I do remember that motel!

As a Boy (1946-7); I climbed all over "Marin City", redwood faced homes for WW2 shipyard workers, and I delivered The "SF News"/The "Chronicle" and the Examiner! (I Walked and called 'em out!) went to school in the flat. Surely There are nice homes now (?) overlooking the bay.....Please give me an asterisk (*) on the map w the footprint of Good ol Marin City!

I'm very proud to see my hometown of Baraboo, Wisconsin listed as one the best small towns to visit in 2013. I have many fond memories as a young boy of the visits to Devils Lake, The Circus World Museum and the Al Ringling Theatre. Even though, the site of my boyhood home is now occupied by the city's golf course club house, I will always have the memories that took place there. congratulations Boo7

It's great that Fredericksburg Texas is listed #19, I've lived in Fredericksburg for the past 14 years and as a commercial photographer have photographed everything in the town during those 14 years, but unfortunately the writer never visited Fredericksburg and Smithsonian Magazine never researched the article because the photo used in the article isn't even of the town of Fredericksburg, it's a photo from Main Street in Mason Texas which is 40 plus miles West of Fredericksburg. Leaves me wondering if any of the info in this article is true ! Come on guys, do your homework before you publish an article.

Andy no doubt is not a Cleveland native with such comments. Walmart stores all across the South generally have this "class" employee who gang in three to four and are insulted when asked for help. Truely laden with poverty, the situation will never better itself due to way too much government welfare and lack of individual success. As to the "toxic" chemicals, the EPA has taken them off the market, which leads to the lack of mosquito control. Cleveland is a wonderful place to live if you like Southern hospitality and charm with a relaxed atmosphere---a great place to raise a family!

Much of the Delta is lower in elevation than the Mississippi River on the immediate west. That is why a levee was built from just south of Memphis, TN to just north of Vicksburg, MS. to help protect the Delta from flooding.

I agree Baraboo is a great place to visit, but they didn't even mention my favorite thing about Baraboo. Devils lake state park is amazing. From camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, or just relaxing on the beach. It's mine and my kids favorite way to spend a summers day.

Cleveland, Mississippi? You've got o be kidding! Try visiting the Walmart there to get a good cross section of the culture. I was there about a month ago and merchandise was all on the dirty floors. And if you asked someone for help finding something, they point in a direction and act disgusted that you interrupted their cell phone conversation. And don't get caught on the East Side after dark or any time of day, actually.I graduated from DSU there and know it well. Sure, there a few trendy coffee shops in town, but they're not making money.This is the most poverty stricken region in the country. You must not have been there in the summer when mosquitoes will carry you away. Or the crop dusters are spraying the air with toxic insecticides. You just saw a facade.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 29 and single Stylish and comfortable
These shoes are really very smart looking and extremely comfortable right out of the box. They will stretch out some with wear. I started wearing them in college and I immediately loved them. I wear them barefoot (without socks) all the time and they could not be more comfortable. They are sharp looking and go pretty well with everything. I wear them for casual occassions, work and even church. Really an excellent and very durable shoe. When my current ones wear out I will certainly buy another pair.

Rated 5 out of 5 Excellent/Comfy Shoe
I just recently got these and they are amazing. So durable, I wear them in the grass, in the mud, on sidewalks and everywhere in between. They are so comfortable and you just can't get any classier!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Michael The Leather seems cheap and is not very good quality
The leather is not firm so the shoe is very floppy and cheap looking and feeling. I wore these shoes for 3 months almost everyday and the leather got completely worn out. I even used the sperry waterproofing spray. It just isn't a good quality shoe. I would recommend looking at the similarly priced Sperry Men's Mako 2-Eye Canoe Moc Boat Shoe. It is made of a higher quality leather and is a lot more sturdier. I have had them for about 5 months and they are in near mint condition despite my abuseful habits to the shoe. Definitely a much better buy, so i would recommend the Men's Mako 2-Eye Canoe Moc Boat Shoe over the classic boat show anyday. I love sperrys and the Classic boat shoe is the first and hopefully last pair of sperrys that I am not 100% satisfied with.
