Mission Statement
The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber
State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully
researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories
intended for the widest possible use.
Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of
events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees
(as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and
corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as
available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original
recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations.
Project Description
Business at the Crossroads - Ogden City is a project to collect oral histories related to changes in the
Ogden business district since World War II. From the 1870s to World War II, Ogden was a major railroad
town, with nine rail systems. With both east-west and north-south rail lines, business and commercial
houses flourished as Ogden became a shipping and commerce hub.
After World War II, the railroad business declined. Some government agencies and businesses related to
the defense industry continued to gravitate to Ogden after the war—including the Internal Revenue
Regional Center, the Marquardt Corporation, Boeing Corporation, Volvo-White Truck Corporation,
Morton-Thiokol, and several other smaller operations. However, the economy became more service
oriented, with small businesses developing that appealed to changing demographics, including the
growing Hispanic population.
Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a
narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with
the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral
history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken
account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it
is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

Abstract: The following is an oral history interview with Mike Shlosser. The interview
was conducted on August 14, 2013, by Woodrow Johnson. Mike discusses his
experiences with 25th Street.
WJ: My name is Woodrow Johnson and I'm here with Elliott McNaly who is running
the audio-visual equipment. We are here with Mike Shlosser on August 14, 2013.
Mike, this project is about historic 25th Street and the greater Ogden area, to
which your grandfather had a pretty heavy role in, so let's talk about him. Can
you tell us your grandfather's name?
MS: George Earl Baldwin.
WJ: Where is he from and how did he get to Ogden?
MS: He was born in 1889 in Pahreah, Utah. It is now the most remote ghost town in
the state of Utah. He was the first born of John Henry and Martha Magnum
Baldwin. He was born in a one room, dirt floor, log cabin. His father was a
rancher and his mother was a rancher's wife. He had one brother born three
years later. After him a baby sister born five years later who died in infancy of
diphtheria. He was raised in southern Utah in cattle ranching and mustanging. He
was put on horseback at a very young age and put to work. To our knowledge,
he had approximately a fifth grade education. We can't find too many records
about that because it was basically done by the church sisters and brothers in
the Cannonville area which is a smaller community about 21 miles southwest of
Pahreah. His father homesteaded this area and it was considered open range for
raising cattle and mustanging of horses. He was put to work because another
hand to work was another mouth to feed and another mouth to feed was
someone to do more work. He became quite proficient at it.
For the remainder of his life, he had an affinity for horses and had an
ability with them that was quite remarkable to witness. He also became quite a
storyteller in his later life. In his mid-twenties he married my grandmother, they
referred to her as Maggie. My mother, Ila, was born in 1916. The next child was
born a year and a half later, which would have been my Aunt Maxine. In my
grandfather's early life, in his mid-twenties, because of what they did for a living
they broke these mustang horses that they would catch in the canyons along the
Arizona strip, he got hurt pretty badly and broke his back. It was just below the
cervical collar, but just above his attachment for his spinal column to the base of
his back just above the scapula. He always had a hump on his back from then
on. They didn't have the technology to really work on people like they do now. I
asked him about his hump when I was just a small boy and he told me that it was
from a horse bucking him off and hurting him really bad. This is what brought him
to the Ogden area because he could no longer continue to actively ranch. He
brought my grandmother and mother and one daughter to Ogden with very little
money. They had heard there was a need for barbers in Ogden because of the
railroad station on 25th Street. He had heard that there was an opening at the
Heely Hotel on the corner of 25th Street and Wall Avenue. It was quite an
opulent building. I remember very vividly the marble floors and the marble
staircase that went upstairs to the mezzanine level. There were always people in
and out.
My grandfather went to barber school in Salt Lake and to my knowledge, it
was 35 dollars to go to the school and it was a two week school. They taught
them all the theory of barbering and shaving and those things. He did quite well
in the school and when it came time to take their tests, they were going to do the
shave in the morning session and the state legislature was in session at the time
and the legislatures, being politicians, as we know them, took advantage of the
free shave. They came down to the barber school for their free shave from the
students. Pick of the draw, my grandfather wound up with the governor of the
state of Utah as his shaving dummy more or less. He took the test and when the
instructor came by to grade it, the governor spoke to the instructor and said,
"This is the best shave I've ever had in my lifetime." He was awarded 100
percent on the shave just on the governor's say so. That afternoon they did their
haircuts and he got another one of the fellows from the legislature. He had very
curly hair and he had a hard time getting it cut the way the man liked it. When
they graded him, they graded him at 79 points. Passing was 80. The instructor
told him, "You're one point shy of graduating." The governor was sitting right
across from them and he spoke up to the instructor and said, "He shaved me this
morning and earned one hundred and one points." That's how he got graduated
and got his license.
This led to the fact that he applied for the job adjacent to the Heely Hotel
and got the job. He later bought that particular business. It was a two chair
barbershop with a shoe shine stand. My uncle Priel would go down on Saturdays
when it was really busy and help out over the years. He was also was a barber.
During the 30's and early 40's it was quite a going tradition that people would go
into the Heely Hotel and spend the night from the Union Railroad Station. In the
morning, the men would get up and come downstairs and they would go next
door through the alcove entryway into my grandfather's shop and he would
shave them and if they needed a haircut he would do that also. It proved to be
fairly lucrative for him. In those days a shave was 15 cents and a haircut was 25
cents. You have to shave a lot of faces and cut a lot of heads to make a living at
it, so a volume business and you're only as good as your last haircut or shave, as
they say in the trades. He was able to do it. He was able to make a living for his
family and his family began to grow through more children. He had five daughters
and one son. He was able to support their family.
When the Second World War broke out, being quite an entrepreneur,
because of the way he was raised where if you had an opportunity to make a
dollar, you made a dollar. He found out through the grapevine that the troop
trains were coming to Ogden and the word finally got out amongst the soldiers,
which being in the military myself, information like this tends to have a life of their
own. He made it available for the soldiers that would come up on their train
layover. There were up to 22 trains a day that arrived in Ogden at the Union
Station. There were as many as a thousand or more soldiers on these trains.
They'd come up 25th Street when they had four hours to kill looking for
something to do.
At this time, in the late 30's and early 40's, it was pretty wild down there. I
actually know a fellow who was a beat cop for the Ogden Police Department
named Vern Butcher. We used to get Vern to talk to us about these things and
about the old stories. He said on any Friday or Saturday night, as a beat cop, you
could walk out of any corner on 25th Street and look any direction and there was
a felony going on. It was quite an exciting time for the Ogden area and 25th
Street got quite the reputation because of this. Vern Butcher spent his entire
working career for the Ogden Police Department down on 25th Street. He later
went to work for the sheriff's department when he retired from the police
department. That's how I met him, through the sheriff's department here in
Ogden. My grandfather was an interesting man. He was quite a storyteller and
very well known in the community on 25th Street. He was referred to as "Cowboy
Baldwin" his entire life. I actually mentioned that to Vern Butcher and asked him if
he knew Cowboy Baldwin and Vern looked at me funny for a moment and said,
"That's your grandpa?" I said, "Yes, sir, he was." He said, "I know him very well.
He was a very interesting man and cut my hair for years and would never take a
dime from me for it even though I insisted. Your grandpa said that because I
walked foot beat on 25th Street, if something happened to me, I deserve to be
buried looking nice."
Back to the original story, the soldiers would go up 25th Street looking for
something to kill the time. There were numerous restaurants on 25th Street. My
brother-in-law's father owned one of the restaurants on 25th Street, which I
understand he is giving you a piece on this project. There were four theaters
downtown at that time. Now, the Egyptian is the only one left. The soldiers would
go to the movies and go eat or go to a bar, or they might find some female
companionship which was quite prevalent on the street. Anything you could look
for, you could find. When it came time to get back on the train, because they
didn't allow any alcohol on the trains, these are servicemen going to a war zone
and rules didn't really apply too much to them. They learned through the
grapevine that the thing to do was to go up to the liquor store on 25th and Grant
Avenue and buy a half bottle of whatever particular alcohol they wanted to have
and go across the street to Saco's Fruit Stand and buy a small watermelon or a
large cantaloupe and take it down to the street into my grandfather's barbershop.
He would charge them a quarter to go in his back room and hollow out that fruit
and stick the bottle inside and get on the train. My grandmother told many stories
of having to reinforce my grandfather's suit pants pockets because of the weight
of all this change he brought home every day. My older sister remembers it very
vividly of him coming home and putting his hand in his pocket throwing change
out on the floor. As kids, we'd just dive into it. In those days, a quarter was a
huge amount of money for a kid.
My particular memories of the barbershop were as a young boy, we went
to grandpa's barbershop every other week for a haircut. I really didn't particularly
like having my hair cut, but I really did like going on 25th Street and watching the
people because it was a very busy time. In the early 50's when the Korean war
broke out, he did this again with the watermelon and the cantaloupe thing. From
the Second World War, he was able to amass enough money that they were able
to put a very nice down payment on their home on 31st Street. When the Korean
War broke out seven or eight years later, he was able to buy a brand new Buick
Roadmaster car that they retired with. I remember as a little boy, sitting on my
grandfather's lap driving that car. They used that until he passed away when I
was 14.
Quite an interesting life he led. He was quite a storyteller. My favorite parts
of him were after they had retired, they would go up to Twin Lakes Idaho where
they had a little sixteen foot Shasta travel trailer that they pulled with that old
Buick. They had a 14 foot aluminum boat they would turn upside down and put it
on top of the car. It was just not quite light enough that my grandfather could take
it off alone. He always had to find someone to help him get it on or get it off the
car. That's why one of us grandsons was sent with him to help out. My
grandfather had to retire from barbering because he developed emphysema from
the microscopic hair that he inhaled. The doctor accused him of being a heavy
smoker, but he never smoked a day in his life. Although, he could roll a cigarette
with one hand, I watched him do it. He did it for his father as a young boy. It was
interesting to watch that happen with one hand. I remember that very vividly. My
father asked him one time to show him how to do it and my dad couldn't do it. It
was more or less a game to them. They would fish all summer long.
Being of pioneer stock, my grandmother canned everything they had. You
name it, if it could go in a bottle in a pressure cooker, she put it in there. She put
fileted trout in a quart jar in that little 16 foot travel trailer. There was no bathroom
in it and it had a heater in the floor that if it was on, you better not step on it
because it'd burn your foot. There was a little stove, a one basin sink with a water
tank, and they had to go to town to get their drinking water. They pretty much
roughed it up there. There weren't any approved camp grounds or anything, but
they would go out fishing every morning and my grandmother would go with my
grandfather and myself and other cousins and we would fish in the early morning
hours, usually trolling. In the evening, my grandfather and I would go and
grandma would stay back at camp, and that was when he told me cowboy stories
which were very illuminating.
He was quite good at describing the terrain and the time of the year and
what he was doing and how it got to be out in that area. He told me the story of
going out to check cattle one day at about 16 or 17 years of age, and as he was
loping his horse across the prairie. His horse all of a sudden gathered himself
and jumped. It caught him off guard and he nearly fell off. He reigned up the
horse and turned him and brought him back to see what he was jumping over
and there was an Indian lying there in the trail. It was an old man whose tribe had
left him and moved on. This man was named Chief Wohose, he was very elderly
and my grandfather gave him some water and tried to give him some food, but
he refused the food. Through broken English and what little bit of Piute my
grandfather knew, he ascertained that he wanted to be left alone as that was
their custom to leave their elderly along the trail. Ashes to ashes dust to dust is
how they looked at it. He had a lot of occasions dealing with Indians as a young
boy. He was chased several times by Piute Indians down in the Bryce Canyon
areas because that area was their sacred ground in the area at that time. The
white man was still quite a novelty to see and especially a man alone riding a
horse out in that country. My grandmother was shot in the leg at 13 with an arrow
by a Piute Indian who tried to catch her. She told me that her horse was too fast
for him, he couldn't catch her pony. She outran him and got home with the
arrows protruding out of her leg. Until the day she died she had an indentation on
the side of her calf where the arrow struck her. I've asked her several times over
the years about it and always got the same story that an Indian chased her as a
young girl. It was a very interesting lifestyle.
My grandfather, when he started his business, he really started it from
scratch. He did have some business come in from the hotel next door and from
the people down the street who found out there was a barber shop there and he
became quite successful at it. As a young boy, I remember my grandfather had a
fellow who had been a porter for the Union Pacific Railroad and in those days
they referred to these black men as George Porter, because of the man who
invented the Pullman car. They were the staff on the sleeper cars. They would
make up the beds and clean in the mornings and assist people on and off. When
the railroad did away with the sleeping cars, they were basically left high and dry
wherever they were. He was originally from Mississippi and his name was Willie.
I don't remember his last name and I wish I could find a record of him, but my
grandfather gave him a job and he shined shoes. He had a high back wooden
shoe shine stand and I believe it was a two-seater as I remember it, and it faced
the window. I used to love to get up on there as a little boy and watch the people
going by as 25th Street was very busy in those days with foot traffic as was all of
downtown Ogden. People dressed to go shopping in those days.
On occasion, my grandfather would give me 25 cents, but he would make
Willie go with me and we would go up 25th Street and I'd go to a movie, or buy
something to eat, or find treasures in the little shops along the way. Willie always
stayed with me, but he had to stay outside because of the racial barriers at the
time. As soon as I came out of the store, he was right there with me. He was
quite an older man and I do remember him very vividly in my mind. He was very
black in color and his eyes were very bloodshot. He looked to me like he was
almost bleeding from his eyes because they were extremely red. I don't know
what really caused it, but I remember that he let me touch his hair. He was really
the first black man I ever witnessed and I felt that his hair was very soft, but
underneath it was very coarse because he used some type of a hair dressing on
there. He was an interesting man. He always had some kind of hand lotion he
was working with on his hands because his hands would get really dry shining
the shoes. What else would you like to know?
WJ: While we're touching on racism and segregation, I'd like to continue on that.
Other than walking with Willie and him not being allowed in the stores that you
were able to go in, did you ever see or experience any other form of racism or
segregation on 25th Street?
MS: I really didn't. Being young like that, I don't believe I really understood what was
going on. I just knew that Willie would just tell me to go in and when I came out
he'd be right there. I didn't find out until years later really what caused that, I just
thought he was being polite and was going to stay outside and for whatever
reason he didn't want to go in there. It didn't really register with me. As a young
kid, being the first black man I ever saw, he was my friend. He would have me
hold his hand as we went up the street, especially if we crossed the street to the
other side. I guess it was quite a sight to see a toe-headed kid being escorted up
25th Street by a black, older man, but I didn't think anything of it really.
I didn't really have any more exposure until later on in school here in
Ogden. We had a couple of black kids in our school and they were my friends. I
really didn't experience any racism until I was probably in high school. Then I
really noticed some of this stuff because they were just other kids. I played sports
with them, I had gym class with them, I'd shop with them and have regular
classes with them. We really didn't have what I considered to be a problem. I
never heard anybody say anything bad to them because the one fellow I was in
high school with was so well-liked that he was actually a member of the student
council because he was a very good athlete and a nice guy.
As a kid, I didn't witness any of that down on 25th street. I'm sure it
happened. I do know that Willie lived in the old porters and waiters hotel and it
was really the only place that black people were allowed to live in that particular
part of town unless they were able to buy a home somewhere. I don't remember
what happened to Willie. I'm sure he passed away or he might have moved
somewhere, but I don't really know what happened to him.
WJ: With your grandfather's barber shop being so close to the porters and waiters, do
you recall very many African Americans coming in for haircuts or shaves.
MS: No, I don't recall that ever. I don't even know if they were allowed to go in the
shops because of the segregation problems in the early fifties and late forties. I
do remember that the people who would come into the shop to get a haircut,
shave or have their shoes shined knew his name and would speak to him
because he was right there in the beginning of the shop when they came
through. They always seemed to be very polite to me. That was probably an
overtone of the time I'm thinking, but he seemed to be able to make a living. My
grandfather kept him there for a long time that I can remember. He was kind of
like a fixture there at the barber shop. He would also do clean up things and
sweep the floors and stuff like that to make himself useful and helpful. I don't
remember any people on 25th Street that weren't white. I don't remember that at
WJ: So, obviously it was very busy during WWII and we covered that. You would
have seen more of the Korean War era, do you have any memories of being
around the soldiers on 25th Street or in the barbershop.
MS: I have a vague memory of it. I don't know if this memory is of an actual
occurrence or if it was something that was told to me later on in life, but I do have
a vague memory of some soldiers being in there. I don't really remember too
much about it.
WJ: Do you feel that with both WWII and Korea ending, Vietnam used a lot of
different forms of transportation, do you feel that the railroad leaving hurt your
grandfather's business.
MS: I think so. I remember as a kid, going down to the railroad station and going
through the underground tunnels that took you out to the different tracks that
were going through. I don't remember how many there were, but there were a
number of tunnels that you would go downstairs under the tracks and come up
on the other side. I remember that we used to hear the trains all the time and the
whistles blowing and so forth. Later in the sixties, the train service started to
change. Airplanes became more popular and people started to fly and it was
faster and cheaper to fly. I did notice a decrease downtown of people coming
through. It was a very busy hub railroad station. My grandfather retired in about
1963 or 1964 and I really didn't go back down to that area until my high school
years. I do remember it and I remember my father saying things like he couldn't
get certain parts anymore for some of the tractors because the trains weren't
coming often enough to bring freight in and things of that nature.
WJ: There are lots of rumors of tunnels and opium dens and those kinds of things on
25th Street. Do you have any experience with these tunnels at all?
MS: There was a trap door in the back room of my grandfather's barbershop.
In the photo you'll see the grape stakes of the back wall and it was behind
there. You went through that doorway into the back room and it was a
fairly small room, maybe 20 feet long and about 10 feet wide. In the one
corner there was a trap door in the floor and I do remember going back
there one time and that door was open. Prior to that, it was pretty heavy
floor and I probably didn't pay too much attention, but I did see the trap
door open and I went down the stairs and they were old, wooden, rickety
stairs and it smelled funny. It was kind of a musty smell. At the bottom of
the staircase there was a big steel door that was set into the wood frame
that was locked because I tried it and I couldn't get through it.
Years later, I asked about it and that was one of the doorways that
went into the tunnel system, which to my knowledge is under the gift
house today. That's where the barber shop was, where the gift house is
built now, which is owned and operated by Scott Vanleeuwen. There are
some places still in downtown Ogden that have those. I do know that over
on 24th Street, under the old paint company is where the pony express
office was and underneath that are some of the adobe stalls they used for
the horses and things of that nature. I have seen that, but as far as up and
down 25th Street, I've never been in the tunnels, but there was always talk
about them.
WJ: Did your grandpa say anything to you about his tunnel entrance.
MS: Yes, he told me to get up out of there and he was a little stern about it. That's
really the only thing he ever said to me about it. I was so young then that
probably if he did say anything about it. It was kind of a curiosity for me to see
the open hatch and the staircase that went downstairs and it really did have a
funny smell to it as I remember, but I don't have any real experience in the
tunnels themselves.
WJ: When we were here before, you did mention very briefly that your grandfather
was friends with Harm Perry. Do you remember anything about Mr. Perry?
MS: I don't. I do remember that he went to my grandfather for his haircut for years.
They were friends. I know that my grandfather contributed to his campaign a
couple of times. They had a very close relationship, but of course, Mayor Perry
knew everyone in town. To this day, people talk about how well he interacted
with the businessmen downtown and how he brought the Pioneer Days Rodeo to
town and installed all these traditions that we now celebrate here in the Ogden
area. As far as meeting him, I don't remember meeting him. I may have, but I
don't know. The gentleman in the photograph, we have no idea who he is in the
barber chair. I initially thought it might be the mayor, but it's not. We compared a
picture and it's not.
WJ: Do you remember your grandfather sharing any Harm Perry stories?
MS: I don't really unless it would be something that was related to me later in life. I
don't remember him telling me too much about any of that. I do know they were
friends, I know that much and they were business associates and that he cut his
hair for many years.
WJ: Behind every man is a better woman, as the saying goes, and you mentioned
your grandmother, Maggie, before. I was wondering if you could tell us about her
since she obviously is such a huge part of your grandfather's life and your life, so
I'd like to hear a little bit about her as well.
MS: Well, my grandmother, Maggie, was born in Cannonville, Utah. At fifteen years of
age, she met my grandfather, and they began a relationship that lasted for well
over 50 years. She was of pioneer stalk and her father was a polygamist who
married two sisters a few years apart from each other. He had 17 children by
those two women, of which the first wife passed away after her seventh child and
her mother would raise all of those children. Her half-sister, we refer to her as
Aunt Maude, lived in South Ogden and I have very fond memories of Aunt
Maude. She was the youngest of the children, my grandmother was the second
youngest of the children from the second marriage. My grandfather was called to
go on a mission for the LDS church. This would have been right around 1917. My
mother was about 3 months old when he left, which left my grandmother and
mother home to take care of themselves in a log cabin on what was left of the
family ranch.
My grandmother took a job cooking for the miners up the canyon which
was 13 miles further up the canyon. She would have to get up at 4 in the morning
and get the fire going in the stove because there was no heat in the building. She
would get breakfast started and go out and feed the stock and get the horse
hitched up to the buggy and when she finally had everything warmed up and
ready to go and had my mother fed, she would heat rocks and she would wrap
those rocks up in cloth and put them in with my mother to keep her warm, as she
was a very tiny baby and she would drive the 13 miles up to the mine and cook
breakfast and lunch for the miners. In the afternoon, she would start the dinner
work and another woman would come up and feed the miners the evening meal.
She would go home and take care of her garden, animals, and her way of life to
keep herself alive and keep my mother alive.
While my grandfather was on his mission, he was in Tennessee, and he
told me the story that he and his companion were walking down side of the road
and it was extremely hot and humid. He was not used to this kind of weather
being from the desert country of Utah. He said that he had a fan in the button
hole in the lapel of his coat and in those days the missionaries weren't allowed to
go around in just church sleeves, they had to have their jackets and a tie on all
the time. He said that it got so hot and he sweat so badly that it melted his waxed
collar to make the collar stand up. It actually melted to where it just kind of fell
down around his neck. They were walking along a truck came by with some men
in the back of the truck and they stopped alongside my grandfather and his
companion and asked them what they were doing and explained to them that
they were on a mission for the LDS church and the men in the truck milled
around for a few minutes and asked them again, "What are you doing?"
They said, "We're on a mission for the LDS church."
"What is the LDS church?"
"Well, we're Latter Day Saints, Mormons." They understood what that
meant and the men wanted to know why they weren't in the military because the
draft was being instigated for World War I at this time and they explained to them
that they have a deferment because they were on a mission from their church.
The men didn't buy that and they got out of the truck and surrounded my
grandfather and his companion and beat them within an inch of their lives. The
men threw them in the back of the truck and hauled them into Nashville and
threw them in the county jail. It took three days before my grandfather was well
enough to even walk because they beat him up so badly. He was finally allowed
a phone call and the only phone that was in Cannonville, Utah was in the general
store. He called that number through the operator and they sent word up to the
cabin that he had called and would be calling back later and my grandmother
came into town and waited for the call. He explained to her what happened and
she was quite concerned and he asked her to tell the bishop what was going on
so they could get someone in the church authority to get him out of jail.
She went to the local bishop and was told that he was too busy getting his
winter crop in and he wouldn't have time to do it for at least a week. He wasn't
sure of the timeline and this didn't sit well with my grandmother. So she drove the
buck board out to where the stake president lived and spoke with him about it
and pretty much got the same story. She went back home and stewed over this
for not very long because she was a very determined person, and at this time
weighed about 90 pounds and never stood more than five foot four in her life. My
mother was four or five months old. My grandmother basically was not going to
stand for being put off. She hitched up the buck board and put together enough
provisions to last her a few days and bundled my mother up into every quilt and
blanket that she had and headed out to Salt lake City from Cannonville. It took
her three days camping on the prairie.
This story was relayed to me by my grandmother on several occasions
and other members of my family. This was in the dead of winter. I can't imagine
being in an open buck board trying to drive this horse across the prairies of Utah
on goat trails and cow trails. There were very little roadways to speak of all the
way into Salt Lake. Once she got into Salt Lake, she said, "I really looked a fright.
My hair was all out of place and I was very dirty, but I went straight to the
church's general authority's office building and went inside with your mother in
my arms." There was a man secretary sitting up on this big desk on a small
platform and when he recognized that she was standing there he asked if he
could help her and she explained to him what was going on with my grandfather.
The gentleman came back at her with, "Do you have an appointment?"
She explained, "No, I don't have an appointment. I have just arrived here
and I drove myself with my tiny baby all the way from Cannonville in the buck
The gentleman said, "Well, you'll have to make an appointment and you're
probably going to have about a two week wait."
This infuriated my grandmother. She had just about all she was going to
have about being put off and she went back out to the buck board and as her
story went, she said to me, "I reached in above the blanket and the seat of the
buck board and took out a 30/30 rifle and walked back inside the building right up
to the man in front," and in her terminology, not mine, hers, she said, "I fanned a
bullet into the chamber and slammed the butt of the gun down on his desk and
said I will see the president of this son of a bitch, and I will see him today." She
did. They took her back to Cannonville three days later in a stagecoach that the
church paid for. One of the brothers from Salt Lake drove the buck board back.
They put her up at the fort halfway for the night so she didn't have to sleep out on
the prairie and they paid for that also. I think she made a fairly good impression
on the fellows downtown in the church of general authorities and my grandfather
was out of jail. Two weeks later they did it to him again. It was the same type of
scenario. My grandmother told the story as a continuation of this story. This time
she said with a twinkle in her eye, "Mikey all I had to do was tell the bishop this
time." As the saying goes, "Crap rolls downhill." I guess it came from Salt Lake
down to the bishop that this was not good. There was some other legislation that
took place somewhere and someone in authority got involved in this. As I
understand it, reading some of the history, it was fairly common for the
missionaries to be accosted like this because the church was not really well
thought of in those days. Sometimes you just had to stand up for yourself. I
know that my grandfather did not resist them because he told me himself.
WJ: Earlier you mentioned Vern Butcher. Do you know of any of his stories of 25th
MS: He did tell us quite a bit of stories there in the break room and about a couple of
shootings that he was involved in. He was actually shot as I remember. Don't
quote me on that, but as I remember he did get shot in one of those. It was either
shot or stabbed. Vern was a big man. He probably stood 6'5" and weighed well
over 250 pounds. You didn't have a small man walking foot beat on 25th Street.
He told me that just like in the big cities they carried a knight stick and he got
quite proficient with twirling it on the leather thong that it had to hold on to it. He
said that in those days there were no radios for the police. They had a red light
on the city and county building and when a call would come in, they would turn
that red light on and it would flash and they would know to go to a call box and
call in to see what was going on. You always would walk out of whatever
business you'd just been in and keep your eyes peeled up toward the city and
county building. This was in the days before there was a lot of trees downtown
that had grown to full size. The city and county building only being 10 or 15 years
old at the time.
He talked about a number of ladies of the night that were prevalent on the
street. He talked about the bars and the fights that went on and the soldiers that
met trouble on the street in one form or another. There was quite a bit of that
going on because they were taken advantage of by the flim flam artists as they
called them in those days. I don't remember too much more about what Vern had
to say, but it was very spell binding to listen to him. He was not a man to stretch
the truth and if he said that he bopped somebody on the head with a knight stick,
he thumped him. I do know that when you arrested someone when your afoot,
you had to walk him to jail. If the friends were around, they didn't want you taking
him to jail, they tried to take him away from you. You had to be very determined
about what you were going to do. He also told us on one particular occasion that
sometimes you couldn't do anything because you were all by yourself or you had
your partner with you and there wasn't anything you could do to stop what was
going on because you were out-numbered by the amount of people out there. It's
the sign of the times of the 30's and early 40's.
WJ: When we were here for the pre interview. You mentioned a man only known as
"Airplane." Can you share some experiences there?
MS: I don't remember his real name as we called him wino. He was an alcoholic and
he lived on 25th Street. He would stay in the cheapest hotel or he would sleep in
the back alleys or in cars. He had been a certified public accountant as a young
man and alcohol took over his life and he was quite a small man when I knew
him. This was in the mid-70's that I knew him. The reason they called him
"Airplane" is—because of his gin soaked brain I guess you could call it, he would
mimic an airplane in flight. He'd put his arms out and make noises like an
airplane and bank his arms when he went around a corner or made a turn. The
particular night that I remember him the most for was I had just come out of the
sheriff's office in my patrol car and was sitting at the red light at 25th and Grant
Avenue and I was going to go straight through the intersection and out toward
the county area when I saw some movement coming toward me, which would be
going south on grant Avenue. I could see a person coming at me, but I couldn't
tell what they were doing and it was about 11 at night and it was winter time and
it was cold and I had my window rolled down about halfway and I could just
faintly hear the noise he was making. He sounded like an airplane coming toward
me and he banked really hard to make the turn to go west on 25th Street and he
had his head down and when he made the turn he turned just a little bit too wide
and went head first into a parking meter. I do remember hearing the parking
meter make a twang sound that only a piece of steel can make when it's hit with
something really hard and of course "Airplane" went to the ground into the gutter
and I looked over and saw him and honestly, I laughed. It was pretty comical to
see. I thought, "Well, he'll get up." I sat there for a moment more and he didn't
move and I thought he hurt himself bad or possibly killed himself. He was moving
pretty fast as he came around the corner. I pulled over there and he was semi-conscious
and murmuring and blood was everywhere, he'd split his head open
from the back toward the front. He was bleeding pretty badly. I felt bad for him.
He stunk really, really bad. I don't know how long he'd lived in those clothes.
I do know that the Ogden officers used to go out and round these guys up
when the weather would get really bad and they'd take them up and put them in
jail just so they wouldn't freeze to death on the street. The judge in the Ogden
Municipal Courts would fine them and they didn't have the money, do they'd take
the jail time anywhere from a week to thirty days. They'd take them up to the jail
and they'd change their clothes out and wash them down with a hose because
most of these fellows lived in their clothes for a long time and they did every
bodily function they could do in their clothes while they were under this alcoholic
stupor. Some of these guys were pretty pitiful to look at. I watched several of
them go through DT's in the jail. There really wasn't much we could do for them
other than refer them to the nurse.
"Airplane," as he was referred to, being in Ogden City on 25th Street, the
Ogden police department really didn't like the sheriff's department to make
arrests on 25th Street. Of course, this fellow was injured and was also
intoxicated. I called our dispatcher and they said, "An Ogden officer down." He
came down and he was in a brand new El Camino police car and he had his dog
in the back in an insulated box that the dog rode in with a wire mesh gate on the
front of it. As soon as he saw how bad Airplane was bleeding, even though I had
given him a great big sterile pad to put on his head to help stem the flow of blood,
the Ogden officer refused to put him in his patrol car because it was a brand new
patrol car. As I said earlier, "Airplane" stunk really bad and it was the kind of stink
that you just don't want to be around. This Ogden office would not put him in the
patrol car and he finally decided and he looked at me and I said, "I'm not taking
him," I told him, "This is Ogden City." He went to the back of the patrol car and he
dropped the tailgate and opened the door and took his dog out and walked him
around and put him in the front seat. He went back and picked up Airplane, who
was a very small man, and put him in the dog house and shut the door. A fellow
came by from Ogden Police Department's crime lab and he took a photograph
with "Airplane" with his fingers through the grate and looking out and blood on his
face. That picture hung up in the downstairs evidence room of the Ogden
Municipal Building for many years afterwards and I was witness to that
happening. It was a pretty comical deal.
I do know that several years later there was a fire at the Marion hotel and
the Ogden officers got there first before the fire department even got there and
they entered the building. That particular officer drug out a couple of those guys
and saved their lives. He went back up inside to try and get some more of those
fellows and he found "Airplane" and he had expired from smoke inhalation. He
carried him out of the building and he sat on the curb on 25th Street and cried
holding this little old man because he had nobody in the world and the officer
knew who he was and dealt with him for years and he just felt really bad that he
wasn't able to do more for him. I know that haunts him to this day, I know it does.
He's still a police officer, but I won't give you his name.
WJ: You mentioned that the sheriff's office and the Ogden City Police Department
shared some ground, but they preferred that you didn't touch 25th Street. Do you
have any stories, other than dealing with Airplane, in or around 25th Street?
MS: I have a number of them. Ogden city called us one night and they had a fight
going on in a bar on 25th Street, El Borracho, I believe was the name of the bar
as I remember. It was a large group of Hispanic men fighting and it boiled out into
the street and it got pretty bad. The Ogden officers didn't have enough guys on
duty that were clear, that weren't on calls, to handle it and they called us for help.
We happened to be very close by, which was a rarity for the sheriff's department.
I do know I was sent to a fatal accident and I was in Hooper when I got the
call and the fatal accident was at mile marker 43 on Monte Cristo and I was the
closest car. That's over 55 miles that I ran code 3, lights and siren. When I got to
the accident scene I couldn't even hear because the siren was above your head
on a light bar in those days.
This particular night, I believe it was a Friday night, in the winter time
again and we went down there and we didn't actually get inside. As I remember,
we didn't even make it inside the building and the Ogden officers were grabbing
people and pushing them out the door. They would say, "Take that one, let that
one go." It was a pretty physical fight. There were a lot of guys that were bleeding
and a lot of yelling and a lot of confusion going on. I remember we put four
fellows handcuffed in the back seat of our patrol car and we kind of just piled
them in there. We hauled them up to the jail and when you go to the ninth floor of
the old city and county building, we had a holding room and it was basically a
steel room with a steel door and a little window and it had a couple of benches in
there bolted to the wall and nothing else. There were no bathroom facilities and
no water or anything. We would put prisoners in there until we could get them in
individually to have them booked in at the screening desk which was an iron
graded shield in front of the desk. The jail officer would stand behind that screen
and ask them questions to get them booked into jail. We threw these guys in
there to hold them and in the meantime, Ogden Police were bringing people in
too. There were quite a number of fellows, I don't remember how many, but there
was probably somewhere between 8 and 12 people that got arrested out of this.
Some of the fellows were a little banged up and we stared taking guys out
and we were just helping because being with the sheriff's department, the
booking officer, there were two men on a midnight shift in the jail and it got a little
hectic for them trying to get all these people taken care of and all the paperwork
involved. I was helping to get this done and I more or less wound up being the
guy that got the next guy out of the cell and brought him in. We'd put him up
against the grading fence in front of the booking desk and we'd search them and
take their property from them that had to be kept with a jailer like their belts and
shoelaces and any money or anything in their pockets and things. Because it
was winter time we were taking their coats also. We brought probably six or eight
fellows in and got them booked, which probably took about a half hour to 45
minutes to get all of them booked.
We finally grabbed one fellow and I brought him out and stood him up by
the wall and I started to check his pockets. He was very verbal with me. He was
calling me every name you could think of and was extremely hostile and
intoxicated. We started checking him and when I went and reached over to take
his coat off I walked behind him and took it off his shoulders and brought it down
over his arms. He had a knife sticking out of his chest. We got his ID out of him
thinking he was an adult because he was in the bar. He was seventeen years
old. We had to take him up to the hospital and that was the end of my night in the
jail because they had to do surgery on him to have the knife removed. He didn't
bleed very much and it didn't kill him. I remember the expression on the jailer's
face when he saw that knife sticking out of his chest. He had a couple of choice
words to say to us about searching him. I said, "I didn't search anybody, they
came out of that bar handcuffed and we grabbed them and threw them in the
car." This fellow probably went 45 minutes to maybe an hour with a knife sticking
out of his chest inside his coat.
WJ: Wow. I imagine you've seen a lot then. Is there anything else you'd like to share
with us?
MS: My grandfather was an interesting man, he really was. In his local ward, he was a
high 70's and I do know that when somebody would not show up for their talk on
Sunday in the sacrament meeting, they would call on my grandfather to fill in at a
moment's notice. He was always able to come up with some interesting story to
talk about with his relationship with the LDS church and his ideas of religion. He
was very highly thought of in his local neighborhood and ward. In later years,
after he passed away the neighborhood changed very much. Minorities started
moving into the neighborhood and I do remember as a teenage boy mowing my
grandmother's lawn and I spent a lot of time down there taking care of her yard.
Because of her age, she wasn't really able to do that kind of work.
She had a very good relationship with two different black families there on
the block and I remember one fellow walked by one day just as I got there on my
motorcycle and he came walking over to me and I'd never seen him before other
than maybe once or twice around the neighborhood. He walked over to me and
said, "Who are you?" I said, "Well, I'm Mike." He said, "What are you doing here
at Miss Baldwin's?" I said, "She's my grandmother I'm going to mow her lawn."
He said, "Okay, just wanted to know what you were doing here." They watched
out for her because she was a little old grandma and looked like a grandma and
acted like a grandma and she was very sweet to anybody, it didn't matter what
color you were or what religion you were, she was a grandma and that's how
everyone referred to her. My grandfather and my grandmother are buried in
South Ogden.
We were just there not too long ago with another aunt and one of their
children. It was interesting to walk over to my grandmother and grandfather's
headstone and talk to them for a moment. I hadn't been up there since I was a
kid. It was kind of interesting to see how the area had changed. When we buried
my grandfather there was a very small pine tree just in front of his grave and that
pine tree is huge now. He's been gone probably 47 or 48 years now so a lot of
history has gone on. 25th Street had changed a lot in those years. Now it's very
much a tourist attraction and eclectic place to go for dinner or the shops that are
down there. That's really all I have about that part of their lives.
WJ: Thank you so much for sharing with us.
MS: You're welcome. It was my pleasure.

Murad Environmental Shield
Skin Care for Environmental Aging
Every day, your skin is exposed to the causes of Environmental Aging. UV ray exposure from the sun, air pollution and toxins in every day products all visibly age the skin. Environmental exposure causes the breakdown of skin-firming collagen and skin-smoothing elastin, resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. Damage to the melanocytes, skin's specialized pigment producing cells, creates dark spots and age spots on your face, chest, arms and hands. Murad Environmental Shield products harness the power of Vitamin-C and antioxidants to undo existing environmental damage to your skin and prevent future damage. Murad Environmental Shield products, used as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful skin that's better every day.

So, I have been searching for a rug for under my kitchen table forever. I have an anthropologie reclaimed table with white modern eames chairs. I had my heart set on a overdyed rug but with 3 kids (2 still in diapers) I wasn't about to spend thousands to have PB and J all over it. I took a chance on this after reading about it on many many many current design blogs which I follow. Its an amazing value and anchors the room very well with the bold pattern. And the thing I love most about it is it has a rubber backing so unlike many flatweaves which I bought and everyone slipped on, this stays well in place and i haven't even put a pad down yet. As for the color, yes it has a TINGE of steel blue in it in the sun but I would never ever call it a blue. It is a charcoal grey. It does not have a blackish cast to it which is maybe what others were expecting to have for charcoal. Oh and the white is not a true white but ivory white-- its NOT as dark as cream or yellowy like a cream so don't worry. It will work with whites. Looks very modern contemporary, awesome! I have lots of chevron and ikat patterns in the adjacent room. It looks very high end. For the price, if it only lasts a year or so given the abuse of toddlers spilling stuff, I will be more than pleased for the price. You won't be disappointed.
I bought this rug in gray. Luckily, when I ordered it, I knew what to expect from other reviews which stated that the gray rug is actually a much lighter gray than it looks in the picture. This was definitely the case, as it looks black in the picture. It's a medium shade of gray, and the pattern is an ivory color (it looks more white in the picture). The rug was delivered within a few days of my order and, overall it's thick, heavy and very high quality. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase!!
As a designer, I'm always concerned that what I see online is what I get and I tend to rely heavily on detailed reviews when considering a product. I ordered this rug in the navy, and blues can be tricky. One review stated it was a royal navy and that gave me the confidence that it would work in my application. It was an accurate description of a beautiful, clean and pure navy blue, without a purplish or blue green cast. The design is classic, classy and attractive without overwhelming your room. As for shedding, it does, but not as much as many other wool rugs I've purchased in the past. Totally worthwhile in my opinion. Know yourself, however. If you'll go crazy seeing fuzzies on the rug till the initial stage passes, this may not be the choice for you. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.
This is a gorgeous rug! I squealed with delight when it came, it was prettier than I hoped it would be. We have it in the sage green color, which is a nice neutral-that-isn't tan. It's very plush and feels wonderful underfoot. I bought it to go on the play side of our great room-our tiny house has an open floor plan and one part of it is dedicated to children's toys. I wanted something pleasing to the eyes of both kids and adults, and something we would all want to flop on for playtime. It's perfect for this purpose, with the added benefit that my three year old son uses the trellis print as a road for his trucks. The rug is quite a shedder. I've vacuumed it daily, and it collects massive pills that look awful and get everywhere. I expected that from a new wool rug at first. Now that we've had it for a couple of months the shedding has slowed way down. The rug only needs vacuuming every few days. I'd do that anyway with three kids under five! It also shows every spill, since it is such a simple design. I would buy it again even with these downsides.
This rug is very similar to other designer trellis rugs that are very popular these days, but at 1/3 the price. The rug is not super thick, but the material is fairly soft and has a great feel. It looks amazing in our family room and really anchors the room.
The rug is nice, but the navy is definitely not navy! It's more of a cobalt blue. If you are looking for a true navy rug - this is not it!
This rug arrived quickly, in good condition, The color is a good true navy. White (slightly creme) pattern is slightly raised. Rug feels soft. I purchased this rug to put over wood floors in my childrens' playroom and it is soft and thick enough for them to lie on the floor and play games. I haven't had it long enough to advise on shedding, but it looks as if it will vacuum easily. It lays flat easily after opening.
As someone previously mentioned the rug does shed a bit, but not bad. I currently have textbooks on edges to get them to lay flat, hopefully soon. The color is as pictured. Great buy
The rug has a very nice pattern and serves it purpose of adding a level of decor to our living room. It is somewhat thinner and rougher than we imagined, but it's not uncomfortable to sit on (just was expecting a little softer of a feel). It shed for the first few weeks and needed continuous vacuuming, but it appears to be past the stage of leaving little strands of fibers on your pants everytime you sit on it. You definitely need to purchase a rug pad as it would not provide much padding itself if placed on tile or hardwood. Overall, a nice rug for not having to pay a thousand dollars for something of this size!
Love the way this rug looks! It's a nice weight and weave - I didn't feel like I needed a rug pad under it. I got the cream with navy pattern and the blue is a true navy. It is shedding a lot - hopefully that will slow down after a few weeks like other reviewers have said it will.

When countrywomen were depicted in contemporary prints and illustrations, they were invariably wearing short jackets made of striped or checked cotton or linen, known as bedgowns or bedjackets. Plates from two different books are shown here, both published in 1814: the "welsh woman" in the main picture is from "Dresses and Manners of the English", and is washing her laundry in a stream wearing a checked cotton bedgown over her red wool skirt and with a yellow kerchief. In the first print below, from George Walker's "Costumes of Yorkshire", the group of leech finders working in a river are also wearing neckerchieves, caps, thick skirts and bedgowns fastened at the waist with aprons. In the satyrical caricature, "Farmer Giles' Establishment", the housewife serving Christmas dinner at table has her bedgown too.
The cotton sufficient to make a bedgown was not cheap, or indeed were ready-made gowns, even though they were not fashionable garments. For example, in 1779 Sarah Earnshaw, a household servant, earned only 1 shilling and 6 pence a week (7p) as a household servant, and she had to spend 2 shillings (10p) on purchasing enough cotton for a bedgown. However gowns were hardwearing, robust and easily washable, lasting for a number of years, which explains why they remained perennially popular.

30 Days to a Younger Heartwith Dr. Steven Masley | Saturday, 11 p.m.
Did you know that it's possible to make your heart 10 years younger? Regardless of your body composition, genetics, or age...you can turn back time. And when you do...you will feel healthier, trimmer, fitter, sexier, mentally sharper and better than you have in a decade.
Does it sound too good to be true? It isn't. Steven Masley, MD and his three simple steps have helped thousands of patients turn back the clock...and reverse the onset of aging and disease. He is a board-certified physician, nutritionist, longevity researcher and award-winning educator who is also a highly acclaimed chef, trained at the Four Seasons. In "30 Days to a Younger Heart", Dr. Masley shares the surprising news that Metabolic Syndrome, also known as pre-diabetes - not high cholesterol - is the number one cause of cardiovascular disease. Since the term metabolic syndrome is new to most, the doctor describes how easy it is to determine your risk, and why so many Americans have it. Dr. Masley also educates viewers about the dangers of invasive, often unnecessary cardiovascular procedures. His 3 step Heart Tune-Up program is a guide to making lifestyle changes that significantly reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. He specifically discusses the impact food, nutrients and exercise have on making a measurable difference in the reduction of arterial plaque. Discover five new categories of heart-healing foods, learn how the amount of time you exercise isn't as important as you may think plus ensure you receive the five key nutrients many lack but are truly necessary for a younger heart.
No matter how old you are, or how much you weigh or even the health battle you are facing, no one has to be on a one-way street to aging and disability. Patients' lives every day have been saved and transformed with this heart tune-up program that explores the three easy lifestyle corrections that can take 10 years off of your heart's age in just 30 days.

Grateful DeadDead Ahead | Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
The luminous performances on Dead Ahead, filmed on Oct. 30 and 31 of 1980, captured the Dead at a moment of transformation, when the band took a reckoning of their history through the lens of a marathon run of shows.
Recorded in one of the wonders of the modern world - Radio City Music Hall - the performances on Dead Ahead marked the culmination of a month long musical odyssey in San Francisco and New York City during which the band stretched the boundaries of over 100 songs, from the newly written "Lost Sailor" to jug-band tunes they played in coffeehouses like "Monkey and the Engineer."

Friday Music Block
8 p.m. - Live From the Artists Den
Norah Jones: Brooklyn resident Norah Jones didn't have to travel far from home to film her episode of "Live from the Artists Den." In front of 200 invited guests, she performed a stunning career-spanning set at the historic Green Building in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens neighborhood. The rough-hewn beauty of the former brass foundry was a spectacular backdrop the 20-song retrospective, ranging from her breakthrough hit, "Don't Know Why," to her latest single, "Happy Pills," before concluding with an encore that saw her and her band gathered around an old-time microphone, offering sweet harmonies to send a delighted audience into the night.
9 p.m. - Austin City Limits
Jason Isbell/Neko Case: ACL presents modern roots rock with Jason Isbell and Neko Case. Isbell performs tunes from his acclaimed LP Southeastern, while Case sings songs from her latest album.
Sunday Lifestyle Programming Block
5 p.m. - Illinois Pioneer
5:30 p.m. - Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions
Connecting The Dots In America: During Burt's 40 years of reporting, he has lived through a half-dozen recessions in the United States and visited dozens of countries during their economic downturns. In this program, he travels across the U.S. talking to people who have made our nation economically stronger - creative entrepreneurs with great imaginations who started small businesses based on their innovative ideas and technology and made fortunes for themselves and the people who helped them get started.
6 p.m. - All-Star Orchestra: Mahler: Love, Sorrow and Transcendence
Gustav Mahler: Rueckert Lieder (Songs from Latter Days) Soloist: Nancy Maultsby; Gustav Mahler: "Totenfeier" ("Funerary Rites" - 1st Mvt. from Symphony No. 2); Augusta Read Thomas: Of Paradise and Light; Bernard Rands: Adieu. Mahler's turbulent loves are expressed through his music. His settings of poems by Friedrich Rueckert explore themes of love, nature, and otherworldliness. Mahler was haunted throughout his life by the premonition of his own death. The first movement of his 2nd Symphony draws stark contrasts between the composer's premonition of doom, and his vision of life. Modern parallels can be found in "Adieu" by Bernard Rands and "Of Paradise and Light" by his wife, composer Augusta Read Thomas. Both comment on the unique dynamics of creative/personal partnerships.
7 p.m. - Antiques Roadshow: Vintage Des Moines
Fifteen years after first visiting Des Moines, Iowa, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW looks back on featured items to see if their value has changed.

Kate Pleasant - Producer/Director
When Did You Start at WEIU? Summer 2007
What Does WEIU Mean to You? WEIU means a safe, family-friendly entertainment and learning source.
Favorite Show on WEIU: I have a 2-year-old, so we're really getting into Super Why and Word World. My personal favorite is a lot of our local programming because it really connects me to our community. On the national side, I'm starting to get into Downton Abbey!
What have you learned while working at WEIU?: What haven't I learned!? WEIU has taught me about valuing my community. WEIU has taken me places I never thought I would go (like an underground river for Heartland Highways). I have learned that not only is WEIU great, quality programming, but the people behind it really believe in the mission too.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? Everyone should become a member of WEIU. I'm a member. If you value educational programming, information straight from your own backyard, and family-friendly TV, then WEIU is for you. You should know, too, that everyone behind the scenes here at the station really believes in what we do too. For us, it's personal. We're a family and we're always looking to expand, so come be a part of our story!

New Kojima Site Teases 'A Next Metal Gear'A new page teasing the "next Metal Gear" went live late tonight on the official website of Metal Gear Solid developer Kojima Productions.
The site text reads, "A Next Metal Gear Is..." and includes a series of bright green images (left).
The final green image in the sequence appears to resemble the Xbox 360 power button icon at first glance--though the icon itself is a standard power-related image used across many platforms. The "i" could also be a reference to either the iPhone, the Wii, or the upcoming Nintendo DSi.
The teased game could turn out to be anything from a new title in the Metal Gear Solid Ac!d series to an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4.
Rumors of an eventual Xbox 360 port of Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 4 continued to circulate following the game's June release on PlayStation 3. In October, Konami PR representative Yoshitaka Arai reportedly told Japanese business journal Kabushiki, "We are investigating releasing a 360 version." The quote was quietly removed from the story a day later.
Publisher Konami has consistently denied rumors of an Xbox 360 version of the game, while Microsoft has consistently proclaimed its obvious desire for one.

Perfect & Compact Camera backpack
By Silkroute
from New Jersey
I am using this backpack since last 4 years and it is still doing its job perfectly. I can carry my Nikon D-90, 18-115 Lens, 70-300 lens, SB-600 Flash, some other accessories & a Tripod. No complaints so far except one. I really want case logic to add a roller to this backpack. This addition would make this backpack a suitable companion for all camera lovers who feel reluctant to carry this all day on their shoulders. Mine started paining now. The day case logic add roller to this bag, I would be the first person to buy it.

The perfect bag for the Job
By Rhap
from Rizal, Philippines
This is truly the perfect bag for the job. Mostly because it is lightweight and perfectly designed to accommodate my needs especially in carrying my heavy equipments such as my DSLR, lenses, laptop, iPad and other accessories. It is also a travel bag for me because it can store some of my extra clothing just in case when I need to change on the way. This is definitely a best buy for one who is starting in photography. One may think that he only own a couple of accessories and decides to buy a small bag enough to fit one DSLR and a single lens but only to find out that he/she will be needing a larger bag in the future. That's why it is a great thing to start with this very convenient bag.
Well made Product
By Swede
from Phoenix,AZ.
the design of the bag is really good for easy access for all my photo equipment. Its well made. I have purchased other products from this company in the past and have been totally satisfied.
Best camera for the money
By Mario L
from Bakersfield, CA
This camera bag is the best design and most affordable, has great features such as the neoprene suspension system, hardbody bottom, easy access to my camera without having to open the whole bag, lots of storage space, you will not be disappointed.
By Daniel
from USA, CT
The best camera bag I have ever owned.
Brilliant Design
By Paul
from Weston Super Mare, UK
I've had several gadget bags over the years, but this is a brilliant design, clearly put together by someone who is into photography. Took around two minutes to arrange and fill the bag, so easy. Little touches like the Velcro strap slack tidies, and the solid base allowing it to stand up independently are great. Easy access to your most commonly used body and lens combo from the top too.

Very nice love the hard ...
By BEN
from West Melbourne , FL
Very nice love the hard bottom, I have three lenses and have room for more. I thought it would have been a little bigger but I am glad it's not have room for more. I have the fifteen inch MacBook pro and it holds it nice and the iPad fits well on the other side.

I order six sinks for our new house; these were the right size at a good price. Five of the six sinks had pin-holes in the glaze and missing overflow inserts, and two had waves in the casting (where there should have been a smooth, even line). Plus, three of the sinks had obviously been returned as some of the original packing material was missing and the boxes had been re-taped. Clearly, there is a quality control problem at the factory, otherwise these would have been nice sinks.
We ordered two sinks. They add a contemporary & modern touch to our newly renovated bathrooms. I would recommend this product with the caveat that because the sinks are flat base, when they sinks drain, there is a tendency to have residue in the sinks. We have to make a concious effort to "swish" our sinks after each use with clean water. Our previous sinks were curved and angles so a quick "swish" was more than adequate.
This is the only undermount sink on the market that I have found that will fit into small vanity cabinets and still leave room for the faucet holes and depth of the backsplash. The price is great. It looks very handsome installed; and since it's wide, it offers excellent useable area. I will use it again in furture client renovations.
I must say that I'm more than a little impressed with this sink! For the price, I really wasn't expecting perfection, but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box! Finish was flawless (even the underside looked good)! I ordered the sink in bone, since it had to match the existing bisque tub, toilet, etc., and it matches perfectly--not too white, not too tan. The rectangular shape, really makes a statement and the smaller size, is a nice option as well. Added note, even though it doesn't say so in the description, the undermount sink clips are included. Very fast shipping--arrived in less than 4 days and the packaging was quite beefy. All in all, a flawless transaction!
Wow, I didn't think that it was possible to sell a sink with the drain off center by about 1/2" to 1". That's a defect that cannot be resolved. Unfortunately, the marble countertop is already cut for this under mount sink and we are scrambling around to find another option...
I wanted a rectangular sink and the size of this one came closest to what I needed. Good price - I always check Overstock first before purchasing something at a store. I would have given it 5 stars, but the only thing that I noticed that bothered me is that there is a little "ding" on the bottom of the sink. If it was one of the sides, I wouldn't have cared at all and it wouldn't be noticable. I'm just disappointed that I can see it. I didn't notice it when i first got it, but did after it was already installed under the granite countertop. I'm not sure what the other reviewer meant about his missing "overflow inserts". What are those? Mine did not come with anything either. Overall, I'm happy with the sink - just not that ding :-(
After over spending on Exotic Granite I was looking for a lotta bang for the buck and I found it here. Nice weight, well constructed and a GREAT VALUE. No problems with draining or holding water on the flat bottom. When I took the sinks to the granite shop so they could template them, they were shocked when they found out what I paid for them. They thought they were triple the price I paid. I would use and buy this again anytime.
Wonderful sink! Unique shape. Fits well into our modern bath, but could work well in any style.
I ordered this sink along with another sink for two bathroom remodels. The price didn't break my budget and they look elegant in my new bathrooms!
We have a small vanity, but this sink makes it look big. Deep and well shaped there is nothing cheap about it. Just installed it 2 weeks ago. Yes the remodel job was a long process.
