Test Driven: 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 (8/10)

The Evo was a different sort of animal though, offering 271hp to the WRX's 227hp as well as a higher level of technology in its all wheel drive system. The Evo became the car to beat in 2003, so much so that Subaru decided to bring its WRX STi to the US for 2004. The Evo offers a simple but effective package; on the surface it is just a tweaked version of a Japanese economy sedan, but in its day it could also rival many serious performance cars like Porsche's, M3s, and Corvettes. My friend Pete, has a 2005 Evo 8, and every so often he lets me get behind the wheel, so after a recent drive I finally felt like I had enough to put pen to paper on the car.

Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki), have hit the road with a handful of their friends to attend a championship college football game; tagging along with them are Carly's bratty friend Paige (Paris Hilton, Carly's trouble-making twin brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray), and Blake (Robert Ri'chard), Paige's latest boy toy. While camping out for the night, the gang makes the mistake of getting on the wrong side of a mysterious local redneck, and the next morning they discover that Wade's car no longer works. As the others continue on to the big game, Carly and Wade make their way into the closest town, Ambrose, and discover it's all but deserted, except for a local tourist attraction, the House of Wax. However, it isn't long before they find out why the wax sculptures at the museum look so freakishly real, and discover a pair of murderous brothers are keen on making them part of the next exhibit. House of Wax is an in-name-only remake of the well-remembered 1953 3-D horror outing starring Vincent Price, which was in turn based on the 1933 picture Mystery of the Wax Museum. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Filled with the usual contemporary horror staples, most notably lots of rusty torture implements and cellphones that tend to scurry mischievously out of reach just as the villain bears down on his prey.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
It had a great sense of humor about itself.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
You'll be rooting for these people to get slaughtered out of sheer boredom.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
This movie gives it to you, as no movie has in some years.
Mike Clark, USA Today
When the cast starts wondering where the roadkill is, someone says, 'Follow the smell.' Good tip: That's how you'll know where Wax is playing.

The conference will feature over 500 presentations, addressing the Conference Subthemes:
Common Core: Content Area Reading, Writing, and Social Studies (key theme)
The social studies provide key contributions to common core literacy skills. Social Studies standards can enhance teaching and be used as a guide for future social studies curriculum development. A major focus of the conference will be on how the "Vision for College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Inquiry in Social Studies State Standards" and the "Common Core Standards for English Language Arts and LIteracy in History/Social Studies" provide a rich environment for collaboration and enhanced student achievement.
Global Competencies, Global Perspectives
As the world becomes increasingly interdependent, students will need entirely new says of thinking and skill sets. Cross-cultural collaboration skills will be a necessity. Educators need up-to-date understanding of the rapidly changing social, political, and economic forces driving a global society. Receive innovative, collaborative, and rigorous methods for preparing our students for the challenges of a globally interconnected world.
Sustainable Social Studies
Sustainability resides at the intersection of a vibrant economy, an equitable society, and a healthy environment in the interest of meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Educators must ensure that students have the ability to use their knowledge of their community, nation, and world to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good. We face such unprecedented challenges as climate change, human rights, food and water shortages, environmental degradation, conflict, social justice, and global health issues which must be addressed through critical and creative thinking and innovative problem solving. Learn how to apply lessons of the past, the experiences and needs of the present, and visions of the future to help students acquire the habits of mind necessary to participate as citizens working toward a sustainable future.
Sports in History
Sports provide a window into the attitudes and beliefs of the past. In American history, the growth of sports teams helped to foster civic pride, community identity, and avenues for success. Topics such as racial integration, local history, gender issues, and economics can be studied through the lens of collegiate and professional sports. Get ideas on how to help students make connections between sport and society.
Music, Popular Culture, and the Study of History
Music, movies, and television allow individuals to explore the values and beliefs of the period in which the song, film, or television show was created. Artistic expression in its many forms becomes rich source material for students of history. Explore ways that songs, film, and other forms of popular culture can help students better understand and contextualize periods in history.
Social Justice
Human history is marked with the ongoing quest for social, economic, and political rights and opportunities. Full and equal civic participation is a primary goal of public education. Our students should have a clear sense of their rights and responsibilities as citizens, and should also be prepared to challenge injustice and promote the common good. Learn techniques on how to challenges students to make a difference.

What the Proposed Federal Budget Cuts Mean for Food and Water Protections
Contaminated foods — the list includes cantaloupe, turkey burgers, spinach, peppers, peanut butter and eggs — have killed and sickened too many Americans over the past five years. Act now to tell Congress to adequately fund our federal food safety programs.
The original Republican proposal (House Resolution 1, or H.R. 1) for cutting the current FY 2011 federal budget would cut the budget for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat inspections by $88 million, and would return funding for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to less than last year's levels—putting them even further behind in meeting requirements of the new food safety law passed late last year. President Obama's proposed 2012 budget would cut the USDA's meat inspection budget by $9 million and increase the FDA's budget—but not enough to implement the new Food Safety Modernization Act.
Federal funding for water infrastructure has also been targeted by the House, whose proposal cuts the Environmental Protection Agency's State Revolving Funds for clean water (sewerage) and drinking water — the mechanisms through which federal funding is distributed to states and municipalities for water infrastructure repairs, maintenance and improvements—by $1.967 billion to finish out the current fiscal year. These funds would also be drastically reduced under Obama's proposed FY 2012 budget.
Take Action
Won't you help us fight budget cuts to our essential food and water protections?

Already a personal trainer and philanthropist for the Saw Mill Club in Mount Kisco, Mervyn Tugendhaft is now settling into his newest role: the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Man of the Year.
He was awarded the honor for Westchester County this past Friday after raising a total of $159,000 for cancer research.
"I felt very privileged that they even considered me in the category of Man of the Year," said the Chappaqua resident. "I have very big shoes to fill."
Tugendhaft's mission for the 10-week campaign was to raise enough money to pay for two separate research programs. One honors his friend Joan Richman and the other pays tribute to his friends Jacques and Viviane Snoek from Holland, his native country. Thanks to the donations from his generous supporters, Tugendhaft achieved his goal.
Looking back, Tugendhaft said the reason he started this project was because he wanted to give back to the organization that helped save the life of a family member who was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2001.
"Without the research that is being funded by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, he would not be with us anymore," Tugendhaft said.
His effort to aid the organization is not a recent development, though. Two years ago, Tugendhaft invited his clients at Saw Mill Club to trade places with him and his fellow personal trainers for an hour. The event was named "Train the Trainer," and has since raised $15,000.
Of trading places with his clients, Tugendhaft joked, "They were mean. They had us running up and down stairs, on the treadmill, doing push-ups and other silly things."
Now that Tugendhaft has won Man of the Year for Westchester County, he plans to participate in the Man of the Year competition at a national level.

City officials are called unpatriotic after Gieyric's American flag outside his business got national attention. The city says it's not 'an American flag issue'
ALBANY, GA -- It's the flag being heard around the nation.
The owner of Gieyric's Automotive Repair is getting national news attention about the city of Albany code enforcement saying he can't fly his American flag on the curb outside his business.
"The really good things that's come out on this now is that the flag itself has gotten some attention; not my flag but the U.S. flag in general," said Tom Gieyric."I'm fighting the fact that our government is telling me where I can put my flag and where I can't put my flag."
The city is also getting a lot of national attention, but it isn't positive. Responses call city officials unpatriotic.
"We've gotten calls from as far as Arizona, we've gotten emails from people in Massachusetts and Utah," says Albany City Commissioner Christopher Pike. "The people who are enforcing the rules are by no means unpatriotic and have probably served the country more than most people commenting on this story, so to say that we're unpatriotic, at best, is a distortion of the truth."
City officials say they want to clarify that having Gieyric's flag where it is now on the curb is not an American Flag issue or a sign ordinance issue. Pike says it is state law that any private property cannot be in a right of way.
"There's nothing in the city ordinance of the city of Albany that includes someone from flying an American flag on their property. The fact of the matter is you have your private property on the right of way which could cause an accident and so it doesn't even have anything to do with the sign ordinance," says Pike.
Gieyric says a city official did stop by his Dawson Road business on Friday to ask him to move the flag pole back a foot from where it was.
"We went out there and moved the flag one foot closer to my building at the edge of my curb and that's it; that's as far as I'm moving it," Gieyric says. "By their ordinance they consider the United States flag a sign. It's not a sign by definition it's not a sign it's a symbol, so number one it shouldn't even pertain to any of them."
Gieyric says he's planning on keeping his flag out by the street unless he receives daily citations.
"Then I'm going to have to find another place to do it, but it's always going to fly," he says.
Code enforcement says Gieyric received one citation regarding the placement of his flag but it was reduced to a warning hours later.

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a crystalline compound formed from cadmium and tellurium. It is used as an infrared optical window and a solar cell material. It is usually sandwiched with cadmium sulfide to form a p-n junction photovoltaic solar cell. Typically, CdTe cells use a n-i-p structure.
CdTe is used to make thin film solar cells, accounting for about 6% of all solar cells installed in 2010.[3] They are among the lowest-cost types of solar cell,[4] although a comparison of total installed cost depends on installation size and many other factors, and has changed rapidly from year to year. The CdTe solar cell market is dominated by First Solar. In 2010, around 1.5 GWp of CdTe solar cells were produced;[3] if this figure were massively increased, there might eventually be a shortage of tellurium, as Te is among the rarest elements in the Earth's crust (see below). Specifically, production could be expanded by a factor of 1000 to 10000 (estimates vary) before running out of Te.[5] Another problem for the technology is the toxicity of cadmium, see below. For more details and discussion see cadmium telluride photovoltaics.
CdTe can be alloyed with mercury to make a versatile infrared detector material (HgCdTe). CdTe alloyed with a small amount of zinc makes an excellent solid-state X-ray and gamma ray detector (CdZnTe).
CdTe is used as an infrared optical material for optical windows and lenses but it has small application and is limited by its toxicity such that few optical houses will consider working with it. An early form of CdTe for IR use was marketed under the trademarked name of Irtran-6 but this is obsolete.
CdTe is also applied for electro-optic modulators. It has the greatest electro-optic coefficient of the linear electro-optic effect among II-VI compound crystals (r41=r52=r63=6.8×10−12 m/V).
CdTe doped with chlorine is used as a radiation detector for x-rays, gamma rays, beta particles and alpha particles. CdTe can operate at room temperature allowing the construction of compact detectors for a wide variety of applications in nuclear spectroscopy.[6] The properties that make CdTe superior for the realization of high performance gamma- and x-ray detectors are high atomic number, large bandgap and high electron mobility ~1100 cm2/V·s, which result in high intrinsic μτ (mobility-lifetime) product and therefore high degree of charge collection and excellent spectral resolution.[7] Due to the poor charge transport properties of holes, ~100 cm2/V·s, single-carrier-sensing detector geometries are used to produce high resolution spectroscopy; these include coplanar grids, frish-collar detectors and small pixel detectors.
Physical properties[edit]
- Lattice constant: 0.648 nm at 300K
- Young's modulus: 52 GPa
- Poisson ratio: 0.41
Thermal properties[edit]
- Thermal conductivity: 6.2 W·m/m2·K at 293 K
- Specific heat capacity: 210 J/kg·K at 293 K
- Thermal expansion coefficient: 5.9×10−6/K at 293 K[8]
Optical and electronic properties[edit]
Bulk CdTe is transparent in the infrared, from close to its band gap energy (1.44 eV at 300 K,[9] which corresponds to infrared wavelength of about 860 nm) out to wavelengths greater than 20 µm; correspondingly, CdTe is fluorescent at 790 nm. When the size of CdTe crystal is being reduced to a few nanometers and below, thus making a CdTe quantum dot, the fluorescence peak shifts towards through the visible range to the ultraviolet.
Chemical properties[edit]
This section requires expansion. (June 2008) |
CdTe has very low solubility in water.[10] It is etched by many acids including hydrochloric, and hydrobromic acid, forming (toxic) hydrogen telluride gas and toxic cadmium salts. It is a reducing agent and is unstable in air at high temperatures.
Cadmium telluride is commercially available as a powder, or as crystals. It can be made into nanocrystals.
Cadmium telluride is toxic if ingested, if its dust is inhaled, or if it is handled improperly (i.e. without appropriate gloves and other safety precautions). Once properly and securely captured and encapsulated, CdTe used in manufacturing processes may be rendered harmless. CdTe appears to be less toxic than elemental cadmium, at least in terms of acute exposure.[11]
The toxicity is not solely due to the cadmium content. One study found that the highly reactive surface of cadmium telluride quantum dots triggers extensive reactive oxygen damage to the cell membrane, mitochondria, and cell nucleus.[12] In addition, the cadmium telluride films are typically recrystallized in a toxic solution of cadmium chloride.
The disposal and long term safety of cadmium telluride is a known issue in the large scale commercialization of cadmium telluride solar panels. Serious efforts have been made to understand and overcome these issues. A document hosted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health[10] dated 2003 discloses that:
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are nominating Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) for inclusion in the National Toxicology Program (NTP). This nomination is strongly supported by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and First Solar Inc. The material has the potential for widespread applications in photovoltaic energy generation that will involve extensive human interfaces. Hence, we consider that a definitive toxicological study of the effects of long-term exposure to CdTe is a necessity.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found that large-scale use of CdTe PV modules does not present any risks to health and the environment, and recycling the modules at the end of their useful life completely resolves any environmental concerns. During their operation, these modules do not produce any pollutants, and, furthermore, by displacing fossil fuels, they offer great environmental benefits. CdTe PV modules appear to be more environmentally friendly than all other current uses of Cd.[13]
The approach to CdTe safety in the European Union and China is much more cautious: cadmium and cadmium compounds are considered as toxic carcinogens in EU whereas China regulations allow Cd products for export only.[14]
At the present time, the price of the raw materials cadmium and tellurium are a negligible proportion of the cost of CdTe solar cells and other CdTe devices. However, tellurium is an extremely rare element (1–5 parts per billion in the Earth's crust; see Abundances of the elements (data page)), and if CdTe were to be used in sufficiently large quantities (for example, to make enough solar cells to provide a significant proportion of worldwide energy consumption), tellurium availability could be a serious problem. See Cadmium telluride photovoltaics for more information.

Not only does face shape play a crucial role in finding the perfect pair of glasses, but skin tone also plays a large part when it comes to selecting the right color frames. Eye color is another factor that plays a role in determining whether one is a warm or cool colored person.
Most people either have warm or cool coloring, which determines which color frames look best on each person.
WARM COLORING Warm colored people have a yellow undertone to their skin. Warm hair tones consist of golden blonde, black, red, light-brown and grey. Due to their facial and hair coloring, people who are warm colored often look the best in frames that are brown, gold, peach, camel, off-white, fire engine red, and blond or lighter tortoise.
Legacie's picks for warm colored people:
COOL COLORING People with cool skin tones have either a pink or blue cast to their skin. Olive color skin tones are considered cool even though their skin is a mixture of blue and yellow. People with cool hair tones have blonde, blue-black, white and dark-brown colored hair. People who have cool coloring tend to look better in glasses that are silver, black, plum, magenta, blue, pink, and darker tortoise shade.

At first I didn't realize that it didn't have a trigger, the pump is what sprays it. It's fine though, my four year old can work it and that is what matters. It doesn't "scatter" quite as much as I thought it might but it squirts and gets kids wet and that is the fun of it!

Perfect for my five year old. Not too heavy or big. We had a ton of fun. Shoots far and accurate. We went back and bought a second set so we can play war with friends.

No trigger

There's no trigger, so the pump is actually the shooting. Takes a lot fun out of it. The only good thing is that because there's no pump and many moving parts, it can last a long time and holds a lot of water.

Great work!
Thanks everyone! I hope more Metal Gear fans take a look!
I feel your pain, man! I'm having the same problem with my current submission that makes a God of War joke.
And now that I think about it, I'm adding a $ to my vote, because I would totally wear this.
Great work.good job go to the link and vote THE DARK NIGHT for me http://www.threadless.com/sharedesign/283242/The_Dark_Night
i'll have to look up metal gear because this is funny so i must find out the story behind it!
Basically, Decoy Octopus is the codename of a member of FOXHOUND - all of whom have animal codenames, like Revolver Ocelot. Decoy Octopus is a master of disguise, and impersonates an officer in the game.
Wikipedia: Decoy Octopus is a member of FOXHOUND, and, with the rest of his unit, went rogue during the Shadow Moses island incident. Octopus specializes in impersonation. In Metal Gear Solid he impersonates the DARPA Chief after Ocelot killed him,[41][42] and is killed by the FoxDie virus.[43] He is the only member of FOXHOUND whom Snake does not fight. As Donald Anderson, he lies to Snake about having his detonation code found out by Psycho Mantis and also informs him of the PAL override system. In a later scene, when Ocelot and Liquid talk about FoxDie, Ocelot reveals that Octopus was older than the others, possibly even the oldest member of FOXHOUND.
Oh, that was a major SPOILER^ (sorry, I forgot :[ )
nice colors!
haha, that octopus is so ridiculous
Bleep Bloop Blap Blip Blap
good job
:Inky Bump:
Mama mia! I would needa serious shells against thisa guy!
hahaha Very Funny little octopus! great way to charectorize him. 5
I love the colors, they complement each other so well, 5555!
funneh!!! :)
Ha. Classy! Love the colors!
ohhh mom awesommmeeeee!! 5$$$ :D:D:D
really cool!
really cool!
lol nice :D! my sister would love this :)
Not a metal gear fan at all so I don't really get the joke, however I know that a ton of people are and from your backstory above I think you've done a good job of taking a very serious game and poking a little fun at it. Wouldn't wear it but if I was a MG fan I likely would.
Thanks for all the votes and comments everyone!
I hope this prints! The photoshoot would be awesome.
Simple and wonderful. 5 all the way.
ahaha very funny octopus
Oh man, can't wait! This would make a good Kids design too
:D Calamardo Rules! xD
very nice!!
almost to 700!

I need to create some space to that I can dual-boot with Windows. Looking at Gparted, it seems that to do that, I need to unmount my /dev/sda1 which contains my Ubuntu system. While searching online, it seems that people were doing it for removable media, but I'm working with one hard drive. Is it safe to unmount to create some space?
Tell me more
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You cannot unmount a partition while you are using it. The way to do it is to boot from a live CD or USB drive, and run gparted from there. Then you will usually be able to resize any partitions on your hard drive. The original Ubuntu disk will work, as will specialized utility disks like gparted magic, but all of them simply use gparted to do the work. | |||||||||||||
You cannot unmount the file system that you are booted into currently. What you should do is to boot into Ubuntu live and launch gparted from there. Since it is live, none of your partitions will be mounted and you can resize any partition according to your whim. | |||

The Royal Gorge fire near Cañon City neared full containment Sunday, but authorities have not yet determined who or what caused the fire that damaged a major tourism draw in its path.
Containment was expected Sunday evening for the fire that burned at least 3,218 acres. . The world's second-highest suspension bridge, made of wire and wood, is slightly damaged but intact.
The park, visited by an average of 300,000 people a year, lost 48 of its 52 commercial structures and crews still must retrieve and remove the four cables that had suspended the park's tram from the Arkansas River.
The park was expected to bring in about $9 million in revenue this year.
There is no estimate yet on when the park might reopen. The train that goes through the bottom of the canyon reopened Saturday.
The bridge was built in 1929 for $350,000, a cost that today is equivalent to at least $15 million, according to the park.
Located a mile from Cañon City, the fire started on June 11, forcing the evacuation of about 1,200 park guests and 200 employees, along with about 60 people at the Pueblo Community College Fremont Campus and about 1,000 inmates and staff from the medium-security Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility.
Evacuations were lifted on Friday.
On Sunday, 333 firefighters, two helicopters and 15 engines were still in field, working on pockets of unburned trees and brush within the perimeter. Those areas posed no threat to containment lines, however, according to fire managers.

The 4th Meeting of the Conference of the Pacific Community endorsed SPC's collaboration in the Pacific Plan to strengthen regional cooperation and integration.
The Pacific Plan was approved by Pacific Islands Forum leaders in October 2005. While it is not a blueprint for regional development, the plan provides a platform linking the region's developmental initiatives/priorities. It also acts as a central framework within which development partners can provide assistance to the region. The benefits of the Plan are intended to occur at the national level, but the coordination and, to a large extent, implementation of action on its stated regional priorities have been carried out by regional organisations.
SPC plays a key role in influencing decisions pertaining to key regional priorities of the Pacific Plan through its effective and active participation in the Pacific Plan Action Committee (PPAC). SPC provides policy briefs in key sectors such as food security, health, climate change, fisheries, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), land resources, human development etc. This raises awareness and brings to the attention of Pacific leaders the importance in addressing these priorities in a strategic manner.
The four pillars of the Pacific Plan are consistent with the objectives of SPC's previous (2003–2006) and current corporate plans (2007–2012). This means that all of SPC's core business also forms an integral part of the Pacific Plan and vice versa. It also explains why achievements in implementing action on Pacific Plan priorities led by SPC have been easier to monitor and quantify (e.g.progress in implementing the Pacific Plan digital strategy) which is perhaps the most successful example to date of achievement against a priority.
SPC linkage of the Pacific Plan priorities with its Corporate Plan 2007-2012 priorities and programme strategic sectoral priorities addressing key outcome areas clearly depict the relationship and role of SPC in its implementation.

This is great Timm, but a part of it sounds like a conservative's belief that you actually can go back. I suspect that educated progressives haven't turned their backs on Einstein's Theory in the way conservatives have on Darwin's _Origin_.
Educators, and those charged with the future of educational institutions, taxpayers, parents, and students, all must realize that time is gone. For good...or more precsely, forever.
We can't go back, regardless of whether it's the Beaver's 50's, Reagan's 80's, or even as recently as the Das' 90's.
Soliciting or finagling new sources of funds without addressing the rising costs or gaps between education and specific demands for skill sets in our technological and global economy only exacerbates the current distrust of those of us completely frustrated with america's inability to solve our country's educational needs.
Like the Joker said, "This town needs an enema." Our demoralizng approach to this issue does as well.
Everything is so difficult these days that political rhetoric gets too hung up on the past. Even in conceding that it's gone, we reach for it in ways resembling desert wanderer towards an oasis mirage. In many cases, the past is simply a revisionist's myth. In other cases, it's simply fond memories of times gone by.
Clinging to or attempting to recreate the past is a mistake...
and potentially a bad investment. Let's see some new ideas about delivering quality education from these institutional giants. Let's see some changes to reaching out to a greater population of potential students. Let's see proposals to cost-cutting measures for those wanting and needing undergraduate and advanced degrees.
If they truly "know better than anyone" that that California no longer exists, it would seem reasonable that they also know that it never will again.

State of the Arts
What do you get when you ask about 20 filmmakers to collaborate on documenting the political and cultural legacy of their state? In a worst-case scenario, chaos.
But Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie [1], a group project spearheaded and produced by Norwich's Nora Jacobson, seems to be clicking along. Last Saturday night, at a FlynnSpace reception organized to raise funds for editing the film, Warren filmmaker Dorothy Tod suggested that Freedom & Unity's tentative title was its guiding principle, too. After Jacobson recruited them for the project, "we were all unleashed onto the Vermont landscape to see what speaks to us," she said.
That was the "freedom" part. In Tod's case, it meant examining the role of water in Vermont's history, especially in the lives of the Abenaki. And now, she noted wryly, Jacobson needs to take the disparate pieces and "make a unity out of it all."
The crowd of about 30 got a sneak peek at some of those pieces on Saturday. A clip of a local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting — with animated cartoon heads replacing the participants' faces — came from a segment by Orly Yadin and Eleanor Bobbie Lanahan. (AA was founded by two Vermonters, they pointed out, and may have been modeled on town meetings.) Louise Michaels of Shelburne talked about her piece chronicling Barre's workers' movement, an island of immigrant socialists in a "sea of Yankees."
Rick Moulton of Huntington provided another perspective. When he joined the project, "Vermont was coming across [in the movie] as this state of left-of-center people," he explained. "I thought, This isn't the state I grew up in." Moulton's segment explores Vermont's long allegiance to George Aiken's kinder, gentler breed of Republicans.
Among the other collaborating filmmakers who came to the reception were Jill Vickers and Rob Koier of Burlington. Holly Stadtler of Richmond, a former Discovery Channel producer who exec-produced the 2008 indie documentary Finding Our Voices [2], talked about her segment on the recent fight for water rights in East Montpelier.
If nothing else, The Vermont Movie should give viewers a sense of the breadth of Vermont experience — and Vermont filmmaking, ranging from narrative to journalism to activism. Jay Craven, John O'Brien, Kenneth Peck, Nat Winthrop and Robin Lloyd are among the others involved.
"It's been great for me to be a part of freedom, unity and insanity," Vickers noted. Amen to that.

There are a number of ways to raise money online. One of those is to get some fundraising ideas and put them into action. If you know nothing about fundraising, read about how to fundraise online.
Once you're launched, start collecting money from those around you. During this process, Facebook will be a really useful tool.
Make sure it's a cause that your friends and family will want to support. The more they believe in it, the more they'll donate. You could then use this as a way to save together or raise money for what's important to you.
