Amazing!!I have really really curly thin hair. I also happen to live in Miami and if you've been to Miami you know we are all about HUMIDITY all year round! I has definitely tried other flat irons but it made my hair look dull and fried! No matter what products I used it was always the same disappointing result after almost 3 hours of straightening hell my hair looked dull and dry and as soon as I walked about I had about 30 minutes before the frizzes started to appear. Keep in mind my hair is curly and to my lower back. So when my friend recommended I try her flat iron, I wasn't expecting anything new to happen...Once she was done straightening my hair in no more than 1 hour, I was amazed at house straight it was! But most of all how Shiny!!!!!! When I stepped out of her house I thought to myself this will all go to heck in a little bit 30 mins after being outside my hair had not frizzed up one bit and it looked healthy! Needless to say I ordered my own SEDU iron that same week and even though it was pricey it's the best purchase I've made!!! I've had mine for 3 years and I've gotten faster as straightening my hair! I can straighten it out in 45 mins and it stays looking great (a few touch ups) for as long as I want! I usually have it straight for 5 days and then I go back to curly! I absolutely love it! When I have a chance I'll post up pics of before and after!! Just remember to clean and take care of it and it should last you a long long time and you should be able to get your money's worth! :o)Sep 28, 2009Nathalie / Miami,FlHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Worked Great, Until It Blew Flames Near The CordI loved my Sedu because it worked well and left my hair looking great. I used it a couple of times a week and it was great, but after about 3 years, it started turning off while I was using it. Something happened near the base where the swivel cord is; sometimes it would move a certain way and turn off. I took really good care of it, but one day it blew a huge flame out the end where the cord comes out. No kidding; it was about 3 inches and then it started to smoke and smell like burning plastic. I threw it away immediately. I'm lucky it didn't burn me. I ordered another Chi. I really did like the Sedu, but it did almost catch on fire.Sep 24, 2009Monica

Great Iron -- But It's Dead! :(I have LOVED my Sedu straightener but yesterday it quit working!! I think the problem is with the plug -- the reset button isn't staying pressed in for some reason. Very annoying. I can't get it turn on at all and I'm devastated! I've had it for a little over 2 years...is that the lifespan of these things? They are so expensive -- I would think it should last longer... Oh well.Sep 16, 2009Sally

AwesomeI had a bad perm and i tried the cheaper flat irons but they all made my hair look fried. This actually made my hair look healthy. I have been using this one for well over a year and it only takes me about 20 mins to straighten my hair and i love it. I will never use anything else.Sep 14, 2009Katrina / Greenville, SC USA

Not The Best!I bought this iron after two CHI irons stopped working,thought id try something different,it's too boxy/square and doesnt do near the job my CHI irons did,so ive went back to CHI once again,the little knob on the end that adjust the heat always gets turned lower when your using it and I have to go over and over my hair to get it straight,just not as good in my books!Sep 10, 2009Laura / Bartlesville,Oklahoma

It's Good, But Not For The Price.I purchased this flat iron, hoping it would leave my hair perfectly soft and silky and smooth. It does straighten my hair, but not what I expected at all. I was at the mall a few months ago and there was a kiosk for flatirons and they straightened my hair really nice, but their irons were really pricey. So I decided to look on line and found out a lot of bad stuff about those mall kiosks for the herstyler so I decided to look for another flatiron, when I came to this one I did not want to spend close too 100 on it but the reviews said it worked so well and the pics looked nice. I bought one and shipping took a while, but I finally got it and I am not impressed. I am gonna keep it for a few more days to work with it, but so far I am thinking about returning it. I might just go buy a herstyler...Sep 7, 2009Charlee / Colorado

I love love love the straightener! however... i thought it had a swivle cord and mine doesnt. the cord gets in the way and is so long and bulcky in comparison to the small light weight straightener, its kind of a pain in the butt. i had the sedu 1 1/2in. for a little more than two years b4 it died out, it had a swivle cord and it was my favorite, i loved it. i thought this time id switch it up and get the smaller one. liek i said great straightener and if something like the cord doesnt bother you then you'll love it too!Sep 2, 2009Johnna / New Jersey

Huge Dissapointment!Its kinda strange that im writing this review amongst the other high rating reviews, however this comes from the heart. Last christmas I purchased the Sedu for my twin sisters. I read all of the high reviews and thought it would be perfect for their long thick hair. Ive been using the Solia for 2 yrs and wanted to try something new so I ordered the Sedu. Negative points- Im not able to control the handle with both hands because the outter body is not heat resistant and will burn the crap out of you....unlike the Solia. I was expecting some pretty damn straight hair. The first couple of hours of use my hair was ok semi straight, mind you my hair is very soft and extremely easy to straighten. I had to run it through my hair SEVERAL times just to get it somewhat straight. Talk about burning your hair out! So sody sedu, i wont be seeing you anymore as you are going right back to dearest Folica who will hopefully find you a new home. Solia baby...here I am come!!!!....back :)Aug 27, 2009Folicabeautee

Absolutely Amazing.Ive had many straighteners but none of them worked as well as this. It makes my hair so smooth and silky and doesnt take long at all to use. Cuts my time nearly in half and theres no breakage. Many other comments are saying its faulty and breaks easily but I have had mine for over 2 years now and theres still not a single scratch on it and never one fault. Just take care of it and dont just leave it lying around... I HIGHLY recommend getting it. Worth EVERY penny.Aug 16, 2009Josh / ReadingHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

My twin boys are 4 now, and I'm pregnant with a singleton. I'm remembering back to how difficult that first year was with twin infants. All the "normal" AP behaviors seemed physically and emotionally impossible, and it took a long time to find my way. I can remember tandem nursing, and bursting into tears because I was SO thirsty and didn't have a free hand to take a drink of water. I can remember seeing other moms with their babies in carriers, and being so upset that I just couldn't manage to carry both at the same time. It was overwhelming to meet the needs of two infants, let alone mine and the siblings' at the same time. Just wondering if anyone else here is going through this / has gone through this, and wants to share stories? Maybe our stories can help other twin moms who need some support.

Stocking up for winter weather
Jeff Bryant is a volunteer fire fighter in Erwin and he's at Lowe's in Johnson City, gearing up for winter weather.
"We're looking for chainsaw chaps, and gas cans. Getting ready for the storm basically, to pick up limbs and trees out of the road," says Bryant.
Lowe's Associate Store Manager, Jeremy Christian tells News 5, it's always good to be prepared, when bad weather is in the forecast.
"Some schools are already out, so people definitely need to take advantage of the time they've got now to go ahead and get preperations out of the way, so you have salt for when ice and snow comes in so you're ready and able to get out to work if possible," says Christian.
With another round of winter weather on the way, store managers say generators have been flying off the shelves, as customers prepare for this next winter storm.
"We actually had to order a whole other shipment of generators for the area. Not just this store here, everyone was pretty much sold out. We had other people coming from other areas to come get some from us," Christian continues.
Over at a local grocery store, local resident Mary Booher says she's stocking up on food.
"Some groceries, just trying to get ready for the snow, just in case it comes. We've got a little one, so we don't want to be stranded at home with no food," says Booher.
Back at the home improvement store, Jeff Bryant says when it comes to snow and ice, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Just have to take it as it comes, we never know what it's gonna be, it may be bad it may be minor."
At Lowe's, other than the generators, the other items people are buying are snow shovels, salt, and heaters.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) — As firefighters took on a stubborn 3-day-old wildfire Friday in rough terrain north of Los Angeles, a second and more serious blaze broke out 30 miles away near Interstate 5, quickly surging to more than 500 acres, briefly threatening an elementary school and leading to the precautionary evacuation of nearly 20 homes.
The new fire burned very close to I-5 during some of the busiest hours of the week for the heavily traveled route in and out of Los Angeles. The freeway has seen wildfire activity in its surrounding hills all week.
But some 350 firefighters were able to get the edge on the blaze as quickly as it arose. The fire was 60 percent contained by nightfall and residents of some 19 homes advised to evacuate were told they could safely return, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
Crews were helped by relatively mild temperatures, but challenged by unpredictable winds and very difficult terrain.
With air and ground attacks, firefighters were able to douse the flames closest to Northlake Hills Elementary School and stop a looming threat.
The school had a large defensible space around it, so it was easy to protect, Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Scott Miller said.
The campus was put on lockdown and buses were put on standby for a time in case hundreds of kindergarten through fifth-grade students needed to be evacuated.
After the flames were redirected, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen said the students were released to their parents without incident.
The fire was moving toward Castaic Lake.
The earlier fire that broke out Wednesday near Frazier Park was 55 percent contained Friday after consuming some 4,300 acres.
That blaze was not threatening any homes or buildings but fire officials said containing it would be a long, difficult task because it was burning in such rugged and hard-to-reach terrain.

Crafted of brilliant doré bronze and fine brocatelle marble, this wonderful Napoleon III-period inkwell is as functional as it is beautiful. In a style reminiscent of Louis XV Rococo, two acanthus leaf urns, an inkwell and powder shaker, are joined by soldierly putto upon the serpentine marble base. This well-balanced design is enhanced by the exceptional quality of materials and skillful execution. A revival of the luxurious Louis XV style took place in France in the mid 19th century. It came about as part of the preference during this period, known as the Second Empire, for a mixture of styles from previous centuries. Largely due to the influence of Emperor Napoleon III, who wished to have his name associated with the classical grandeur of Rome and cement his place in French history. Pieces from this period are highly prized, as artisans exhibited not only an incredible grasp of a wide variety of style, but an immense talent for innovation as well.

The customer below is seriously concerned about his tea and even if he isn't using common sense, I of course gave him a refund.
The tea in question was grown in Uji, it's a Tsuen green tea. That's a full 550 km from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
There are two reasons I'm posting it here. The first is that I'd like to give you some idea of what we have to deal with behind the scenes two years after the disasters. This is only one email, as you might imagine, I've had many similar to this. This is not even taking into account the situation I had to deal with back in January from the idiot who went by "veritas" here a few months ago. In case you don't know, that was the guy pretending to be a lawyer who purchased our teas, had them tested, was posted how thrilled he was with the results, then threatened to get a lawyer in Fukushima "at your expense" and sue us despite saying on here how pleased he was with the test results, and who a mere month later publicly stated on the YouTube comments that he still drinks the green tea he had originally complained about.
The main reason I'm posting it, however, is that I would like you to understand how much we appreciate it that most of you, on the contrary, use your brains and common sense. We do appreciate it that most people understand that irradiated ground water from Fukushima Daiichi is not going to not going to seep 550 miles to Uji.
So whether you purchase from us or anyone else, I just want to state how appreciative we are that you, unlike some, have used common sense and continued to purchase Japanese green teas, we know it would be easy to get freaked out about it. Here you go....I used your web page to send you this same email letter. Please cancel my order # XXXXX
April 16, 2013, 4:05 pm
I have an order (# XXXXX) waiting for shipment of the new crop.
I am concerned about the radiation levels in my order since this is a new crop. I have seen on TV that your underground water supply used for drinking and crops are becoming high in radiation from the nuclear power plant and your government is concerned with the problem. This was on PBS Asia News today.
I really enjoy your teas in the past but I am concerned now of the safety of your product. Until I see that, your government has put a news release that the levels of radiation lower. The program also showed the radiation levels in the west coast area of the USA are also becoming higher from the fallout from Japan's power plant.
Please cancel my order # XXXXX and return funds to me. I DO NOT WANT THE PRODUCT.
Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Emailed and received to O-Cha on 6:05 AM Wednesday, April 17, 2013 (JST) Time in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan
What is the current situation? Is Shizuoka/Uji tea safe in this season?

It's already clear that the 2012 Make A Difference Day has some big goals to meet.
The Center for Service and Community Engagement estimates that nearly 3,700 volunteers will be needed for this year's event, scheduled to take place 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.
|Last year's MADD broke records with more than 3,000 volunteers taking part. File photo
Last year, 3,118 Saint Louis University volunteers worked at 130 sites in the community, making it the largest MADD in SLU's history and one of the largest collegiate days of service in the entire country.
"Make A Difference Day is a chance for our whole campus to come together and celebrate what makes us all Billikens: The desire to serve others," said Bobby Wassel, assistant director of the Center for Service and Community Engagement.
"Not only is it a celebration, it is also meant to be a springboard for members of the SLU community to become engaged in ongoing service, and to make every day 'Make A Difference Day,'" Wassel added.
Students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and community members are encouraged to participate and help SLU meet its goal of making the 15th annual event the biggest one yet. Volunteer registration is now open at the Make A Difference Day website, and volunteers can sign up through Sunday, Oct. 14.
Participants are encouraged to register in groups of at least five members. Individual registration will also be available. A lunch and reusable water bottle with water will be provided.
This year, MADD is going green with the theme "Sustainability," and the Center for Service and Community Engagement will partner with the Center for Sustainability and the Missouri Botanical Garden for this endeavor.
For more information and to register, visit the Make A Difference Day website or contact the Center for Service and Community Engagement at email@example.com or 314-977-2041.

Skip to comments.Why Rick Santorum's once-generous lead in Wisconsin is eroding
Posted on 03/31/2012 12:43:50 PM PDT by PSYCHO-FREEP
By the time Mitt Romney arrives in Wisconsin Friday his first campaign stop in the state before its GOP primary on Tuesday his challenger Rick Santorum will have already become a familiar face. Mr. Santorum has been in Wisconsin since last weekend and has dined, bowled, and played shuffleboard with residents in every pocket of the state. Hes even tossed a football at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers.
Santorums once-generous lead in Wisconsin is eroding. In February, the former US senator polled at 34 percent among the states likely Republican voters, while Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, trailed far back at 18 percent, according to a Marquette University Law School poll.
Current Wisconsin polling shows Romney leading, 39 percent to Santorums 31 percent.
What happened? The easy answer is money. The Romney campaign is armed with seemingly unlimited campaign resources to flood local airwaves and phone banks, resulting in the candidate not necessarily having to step foot in the state until just before its voters head to the booths.
By early this week in Wisconsin, combined spending by the Romney campaign and Restore Our Future, a pro-Romney super political-action committee, totaled about $2 million in television advertising, much of it negative. By contrast, Santorums campaign had spent under $100,000 by last Sunday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the Red White and Blue Fund, a super PAC backing Santorum, had spent about $300,000.
(Excerpt) Read more at csmonitor.com ...
John McAdams, a political scientist at Marquette University in Milwaukee, says what Santorum meant in those comments was not terrible, but they became gaffes because he could not articulate his positions in a way that sounded reasonable.
Rickey is a union goon.
Here's a clue Rick.
Walker is transforming Wi for the better.
The contraception stuff was enough to make him not a credible alternative for many, perhaps most, of the people looking for a non Romney. Once it became known that Rick said the following (on video last October):
"One of the things I will talk about that no President has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, thats okay. Contraceptions okay.' Its not okay..."
...many conservatives grasping at some alternative to Mitt struck Santorum from the list. Sorry, but we just don't need a national conversation on why contraception is "not okay". Any candidate that thinks we do just can't be taken seriously and would be a sure-bet to drag the campaign into long ago settled social issues that would be a guaranteed loser.
And his use of a four letter word does not impress the Christian conservatives who are his base. That slip of the tongue can be traced to his slip in the polls. Because of his profanity, and his flippant answer, many think he is a phoney.
I am sure a pro-abortion liberal snob is much more suitable for the modern, hyphenated-conservative GOP ticket.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with rick claiming that people who defend themselves have a "sick mind".
And all the reactions have been, not so good. He is supposed to be this high and mighty Christian but comes across as a whiny, angry hypocrite. And most of the evaluations and polls also see him that way. It's his own fault. He is just not a very viable candidate.
That was the final straw for me.
I never cared for his sanctimonious ass anyway.
He has struck me as petulant from day one.
This was disappointing. Sometimes I think Santorum doesn't want to win.
In WA state, the Ron Paul Campaign has made a deal with the Santorum campaign to throw all the Paul delegates to Santorum.
This was reported and confirmed by our local newspaper, the Bellingham Herald. GOP leaders are furious.
We tried to warn those who blindly went for him. We warned them that he could not win the nomination or the general, and that he would just split the vote and guarantee a Romney win.
Well guess what? Hello Reality!
Yeah. That was disappointing.
But Romney is a POS so I won't vote for him either.

Hoo boy!
Stand by for 4 more years of Obama.
Now lets get busy with the congress and senate and make him a lame duck.
Since he voted for planned Parenthood and Abortion funding and was formerly a proclaimed "Pro-Choice" advocate before he ran for office.
So be careful how you throw those accusations around, they have a habit of coming right back at hypocritical phonies like Santorum.
I would vote for Dilberts manager if we could have the house and senate.
You sound so giddy about a Romney nomination. I don't like it at all. You never liked Santorum anyway so you are pleased he failed. Good for you. I will NOT vote for Romney under ANY circumstances. People like you who given the choice of Romney or Santorum chose Romney. Well good luck in November. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT BIG TIME!!!!
I agree, me too. "Virulently Petulant", I might reiterate.
Count me in, these "Newt supporters" who are now desperately supporting Romney deserve everything they've worked for.
WA may just be the first state to try this. Others may follow.
It sounded strange to me, at first, but what they are doing is going for brokered convention.
Santorum is the epitome of weak, but weak is better than treacherous. I would take the eminently unlikeable Santorum over Bishop Willard Mitt Romney.
Bishop Willard Mitt Romney, god seed, strong in the slaying of gentile fetuses, and combining the best of Margaret Sanger and occult fantasy.
Things like this will only go against Santorum.
I'm not happy at all. we are screwed.
Everyone knows Romney is a political chameleon.
So is Saintorum and Newt to a lesser extent.
You know damn well that I supported Rick Perry and I still do.
At this point all we can do is beat the feds with decent representatives in the house and senate.
Perry just defeated the EPA this past week.
Boo Ya!
Yup. I would rather play naked twister with Rosie O Donnell than vote for any of these RINO clowns.
"The truly unfortunate thing is that you may have to decide who is the bigger POS, obumber or romney."
That is easy for me. The enemy within can do more damage than the enemy at the gates.
And you might as well move to another planet if you think you are doing the right thing by pouting and helping Obama win.
And you might as well move to another planet if you think you are doing the right thing by pouting and helping Obama win.
I am just following what you did the whole primary complaining about Santorum the entire time. If you and your supporters would have given an inch to Santorum, we would not be having this tragic election. But you just had to have your way with having Santorum not make it and now we are screwed. I will NOT vote for Romney just like you DID NOT Vote for McCain in 2008....why was it ok for you in 2008, but not for me in 2012?
Santo went on a bowling tour in Wi.
He thinks he is dating laverne and shirley
Thats who he thinks they are.
I like bowling too, but here's a clue Rick.
Folks up there love to hunt and they love to fish.
Yeah they have a history of unionized labor but they have a longer history of self sufficiency
If you think Obama's first term was a nightmare, his second term will be beyond all earthly logic. And if you cannot understand that simple reality, then you truly must be a moron.
Next time, when you start drooling over a picture of Romney, clean yourself.
Stand by PF because Obama us getting another term and you are correct,he us going to go scorched earth on us in the next term.
He's got nothing to lose.
We need the house and senate and power in the states to stop this tyrant.
yeah and yet Mitt Romney is Ronald Reagan in comparison, right. (Can you hear my sarcasm/)!
If there was a final straw, you had no convictions in the first place.
I said that it would guarantee a Romney win. And all you could do, was throw insults and innuendo at us for doing so.
Now, we all have to live with the result of your ignorance. (That goes for all the Santorum ignoramuses)
I wonder if it sucks to look in the mirror and know that you are a liar. If Rick is a "union goon" (a term that actually made me laugh), why are none of the REAL union goons in Wisconsin supporting him? Do we really need patent silliness on this site? Bob
How is Newt working to for guys? All that bandwidth just wasted. Unless of course that was your plan all along.
Rick Perry us the original 10th amendment guy!
Re sesult is, WE ALL LOSE.
We are in a battle with SCOTUS ruling at this very moment over obama care.
How did we get there?
Rick Perry and Greg Abbott were the first to challenge the feds.
Now we have 26 states challenging.
God Bless them!
I don't see how. I'm guessing that other states will follow suit.
We were told at the caucus that the delegates could vote for their own candidate at the state convention, and that is what they are doing, just combining the Santorum and Paul delegates.
He is a Union goon.
I grew up in his neck of the woods.
He is everything that is wrong with the place.
I was like 17 when I realized "right to work" should be the law of the land.

Skip to comments.Watch- The Magic of Inflation: What $5.62 Bought in 1962
Posted on 07/24/2011 10:26:12 AM PDT by Nachum
Ah yes, life is so much better under the Obama economy now.
(Excerpt) Read more at rightwire.net ...
What cost $5.62 in 1962 would cost $40.06 in 2010. .
I remember 1964. My father bought a NEW 1964 Chevy Impala for $2000 and was telling me how ridiculous it was that a CORVETTE cost $4000.
Leave the dog in the car! lol!
I remember in 1969 my dad bought a brand new, fully loaded Pontiac Bonneville. He said, "I never paid $5000 for a car in my whole life, but your Mom and I really wanted this one, and with my new job, we can afford it." I was so impressed, because I was in college, driving my used $800 Volkswagen bug.
In 1962 I was a Frosh in college. A 5.00 date had a great return on investment. Of course curfew was 11:00 so I rarely got past 2nd base!
I think your 64 Impala number is too low.
Edmunds shows them around $3000.
I know I bought a new strippo Chevy II (Nova) for $2300 in 67 and back then prices weren't going up very fast.
When did the War on Poverty end?
Had we purchased that Vette and put it in a climate controlled storage it would have increased better than gold.
According to the copyright date in the actual video, it's MCMLVII, or 1957, not 1962.
Interesting. Might have been shot in '56 too.
A common wage in that time period was under fifty-cents per hour, too.
I went to the grocery store yesterday morning and yes, I left my dog in the car.
MCMLVII seems to be 1957 and not 1962. Not sure if that makes much of a difference, but...
I dunno, many would - $75 dollars in silver coin is worth over $2100 in today's money.
"A common wage in that time period was under fifty-cents per hour, too."
Exactly - people tend to look at only one side of the equation. My first job as an engineer just out of college in 1971 paid around $10K/year?
My Mom bought a new 66 Impala for around $3K.
In 1961, my parents bought the house where they still live, for $41,000.
If the seller had been paid in silver certificates, and had redeemed each at the bank for 0.77344 ounces of silver (31,711 ounces), the seller would have, today, about $1,272,000 - and after taxes, maintenance, and improvements to the home, would be ahead on the deal by quite a bit.
You should have started the game earlier.
I think you are a little low. I made $1.15 an hour in 1955 and while in college I got a job starting at $2.16 per hour.
The newest cars in the film were 1957 models. Also, none of the women were wearing 1962 hairdos.
Whoa hold up a minute, it isn't all bad. Oil cost $3.00/bbl back then.
Mrs. C and I were living in Fayetteville in late 68 and early 69. We went up to spend Christmas with her Mom. A couple of days after Christmas my dearest was hit by a really bad craving(pica) for watermelon.
I had the darnedest time finding one. Finally did in a deli that supplied the rich borough just south of what is now A_Sheville, NC. Paid $5.00 for it. Now they cost three or four bucks in today's money.
Trade with Chile, lower prices. The 68 price in today's oil prices would be near about $150.00 in 0bama dollars.
A computer now costs under a grand fully flexed out. Then one cost anywhere from thirty grand up to nearly a million.
Better hitting a double(second base) than falling in the grand canyon on a first date.(IMHO)
Caddis the Elder
As for the fuel, looks like in 62' the price was .31$ a gallon, that's $2.21 in 2010 prices.
The local grocery store has both 8-pack and 10-pack granola bars selling for the same price. Halfway to the change over to smaller packages.
That's 20% inflation right there.
I should have kept my first car - a 1955 Pontiac - I bought used in 1966 for $250, and sold in 1969 for $250.
With inflation that $250 purchase would have been worth $1,660.95 in 2010. Yet, on Ebay a couple years ago I found three 1955 Pontiacs exactly like my old one, and all for sale for $30,000. That "investment" would have been WAY ahead of inflation. (Now, don't spoil the idea with reminders about the "cost of ownership").
P.S. To Nachum - I think the video is 1957; that's what the date MCMLVII means (in the opening credits), and I saw no cars older than '57 in the footage.
That would make the $5.63 grocery tab in 1957 worth $43.19 in 2010.
While you don't see the cashier wring up everything, you do see her wring up most of the items and with most of the items everything is priced below $0.50. That part was interesting in itself.
Your dearest one sent you out looking for watermelon at Christmas-time?
Have you ever thought about the possibility that she was trying to get you out of the house?
I remember that year standing on the front porch with my Dad. I pointed out to Dad that the neighbors across the street had just bought 2 brand new Chevy's. My dad turned to me and said "Well you can afford two new cars when you are pulling down $10,000 per year".
She was very, verry, verry pregnant. Safe even if she were ditching me for some rich jerk her folks had hope she would marry.
She ate everything but the shiny part of the pitifully small melon. Perhaps thou art judging my wife's bushel in thine own pint cup.
I just remember reading the Dick Tracy comic strip and he had a $4000 car!
That is possible. It was a long time ago. I'm pretty sure about the $4000 figure for the Corvette.

Have You Considered Network Thermostats?
Roofing's Green Alternatives
From the Ground Floor Up
'Cool' Data Centers
Constantly changing hardware technologies demand solutions that organize and manage the complexity of data center deployment and equipment consolidation. Past methods of managing power, airflow, and cooling are no longer adequate. Issues surrounding operating systems, increased data storage, processor speeds, and multiple equipment form factors have challenged the industry to develop smarter, more cost-effective solutions – those that are flexible, adaptable, scalable, reconfigurable, and secure. "Normal methods to safeguarding no longer work," says Kevin Macomber, marketing manager at Wright Line, a Worcester, MA-based leader in the design and manufacture of technical furniture and enclosure systems.
The Paramount Tower of Cool (pTOC), produced by Wright Line (www.wrightline.com), is an innovative computer cabinet design that incorporates a building's air-conditioning system and computer cabinets into one closed-loop cooling system. The process starts with pTOC evenly delivering cool 55-degree supply air to the inlet of as much as 8,000 watts of equipment, which significantly increases the quantity and reliability of hardware in a smaller footprint. Simultaneously, pTOC extracts the heat from the cabinet, and not mixing it with room air, the air can be returned back to the air-conditioning unit (ACU) at higher temperatures (High Delta Temperature Cooling [HDTC]).
Depending on the application the total airflow can be reduced by 50 percent, thus reducing 50 percent of ACUs required, and a broad range of operating, maintenance, installation, and electrical load costs. Coupled with ultra-dense power and cabling solutions, pTOC literally becomes a data center on it own merit. The pTOC has been independently tested by the University of Maryland.
Turn off unnecessary lights. Keep windows and doors closed in heated or air-conditioned areas. Use window blinds to block excess sun and warmth during the day. All of these suggestions are promising ways to manage energy bills and keep potential costs down. But once the lights are down and the shades are closed, how do you know which strategies are really making a difference in expenditures?
The latest generation in energy management tools today includes a billing module technology – an element that helps control energy costs and tracks energy usage in order to make building performance modifications as required or desired. With the information this technology can provide, building owners and managers can evaluate energy consumption, supervise power usage, and then use the results to make cost-effective adjustments.
Square D/Schneider Electric offers an illustration of this new technology – its POWERLOGIC® Engineered Solutions Billing Module is an example of how a billing module can make the process of managing energy costs a little less frustrating. It:
Dealing with high energy bills, but still don't think you can rationalize upfront costs for this type of technology? Karl Kersey, senior product specialist, Palantine, IL-based Square D/Schneider Electric (www.squared.com), uses an iceberg analogy to explain the benefits of the billing module.
"Icebergs have huge peaks above the water. In reality, the majority of an iceberg is under the water, out of view. In our experience, by installing a PowerLogic system, you can realize a two- to four-percent savings in utility costs by knowing where and how energy is used – the tip of the iceberg. This would include looking for opportunities in peak shaving, spreading, and coincident demands. There are firms that realize savings for their customers by merely comparing the utility bill to the applicable rate structure. When you have a metering system in place, you can look for these other opportunities. Further savings come from increased equipment utilization and improved reliability," he explains. "Most of our customers use this product for allocating costs throughout their facility or company. Cost centers can change often, especially in manufacturing, and the ability to accurately allocate these costs is of crucial importance."
Getting 'In the Loop'
So you've torn up 20,000 square feet of old carpet in your building. What do you do with it? Haul it away to the local dump?
Not so fast. You might have other options.
The carpet industry is leading an effort to reduce the flow of waste carpet to U.S. landfills through The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) (www.carpetrecovery.org). This voluntary agreement between industry representatives; governmental organizations on the federal, state, and local levels – including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and other non-governmental groups, has established an ambitious, 10-year schedule to increase the amount of recycling and re-use of post consumer carpet and reduce the amount of waste carpet going into the landfills.
CARE's plan, known as the Memorandum of Understanding for Carpet Stewardship (MOU) seeks to achieve a national landfill diversion goal of 40 percent by 2012, including a recycling rate of 20 to 25 percent.
"The paper industry has just achieved a 55-percent rate, and that's a much simpler process than what we are doing," says Frank Hurd, chairman of the board of CARE. "We're trying to find products that we can recycle carpet into that are recyclable themselves so we can close the loop."
While most components that make up carpet are recyclable or reusable, only about four percent of waste carpet stays out of landfills.
Building owners can help drive the trend, Hurd says.
"If you wait until it is too late, the demo team might not be involved in the loop," Hurd says. "Carpet recycling needs to be specified up front. There are mills that will bid on that."

Despite a recent lull, western Massachusetts has been hit with a handful of snow storms so far this winter. That means cities and towns have begun digging in to limited snow removal budgets, with weeks, or months, of winter weather still to come.
Snow and ice have kept road crews busy in Springfield, and the city's public works director Allan Chwalek says that's chipped away at the $1.5 million dollar snow removal budget.
"We've expended roughly about three-quarters of the budget," says Chwalek. "We've had ten events this winter where we've had to either spread [sand and salt] or go plowing."
Chwalek says spending is slightly ahead of past winters, so the DPW decided to ask the city council for permission to go over budget if necessary. Other cities haven't used up quite as much money. Pittsfield public works director Bruce Collingwood says his department has used less than a third of its $650,000 dollar snow budget. But he says he anticipates spending all of that money, and possibly more, by the end of the season.

A vision of Britain between 1801 and 2001.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
This theme covers births, marriages and deaths,
including changing causes of death.
Unlike most of our themes, it is based not on the Census
but on the closely related system for registering births,
marriages and deaths, established in 1837.
In this first version of the system, the main emphasis is on infant mortality, the number of children dying before their first birthday as a proportion of all births.
Our detailed statistics are held in structures called nCubes, which you can think of as tables with one dimension, or with two ... or with twenty. Their dimensions are defined by the variables each nCube combines, and each variable is made up of categories. These nCubes are available at national level for this theme:
|Available nCubes
|Period covered
(number of categories)
|Total Births
|1851 to 1951

Djing with a Disability: 2 Inspiring Stories
The 1996 film Vibrations is maybe one of the worst movies you'll ever see about the world of dance music. Its plot revolves around a guitarist who loses his hands in a car crash, only to find himself, after numerous twists, transformed into a leading figure on the US rave circuit when his new tech-whiz friends create robotic hands and tools for him to produce and perform electronic music. With James Marshall and Christina Applegate in the lead roles, Vibrations is the epitome of '90s cyberpunk hokeyness—but for its acting and writing, not necessarily its message. At its core, it aims to illustrate that when it comes to expressing yourself, particularly as a DJ, where there's a will, there's a way. In that spirit, today we look at a few DJs who have adapted their production and performance environs to suit their disabilities, proving that indeed anyone can DJ if you surmount a few obstacles and put your mind to it.

King Of The Blues, CD (£7.43)
KING OF THE BLUES was the sixth of B.B. King's twelve Crown LPs, and if there were no other reason to be cheerful, we should congratulate the Bihari brothers for resisting the world's most obvious title for so long. But while it may be obvious, as a description King Of The Blues is no hype-.-rather, it's an accurate assessment of the man, his music and his status, both in the early 60s and now.
There's not a wasted note on this CD. (Well, hardly any-.-in honesty, it may take more than one play of the concluding Worried Life Blues, with its 1970 organ and girl group overdubs, to convince some listeners.) From the first bars of I've Got A Right To Love My Baby, King of the Blues defines the revolution that Riley B King wrought in the blues. You can identify precursors: the elegant logic of Lonnie Johnson, the fluid rhythms of Blind Lemon Jefferson and T-Bone Walker and the gospel passion of the Fairfield Four's Sam McCrary are all in the mix, but it took B.B. King to fuse these and other influences in the crucible of his incandescently passionate singing and playing, turning them into a new blues alloy: strong, flexible and beautifully polished. He couldn't have done it alone, though, not the least of the pleasures to be had from King Of The Blues is listening, in Ace's exemplary sound restoration, to Maxwell Davis' punchy, economical horn charts and the impeccable rhythmic foundation supplied by Lloyd Glenn, Marshall York and Sonny Freeman.
Most of the ten bonus tracks come from singles that were released after King moved to ABC, and it's frustrating that we don't know who most of the musicians were-.-who played the stuttering, squalling tenor sax on Tell Me Baby, for instance? That remake of a Big Maceo song is one of several tracks that testify to King's deep knowledge of the blues heritage-.-Going Down Slow and Sonny Boy Williamson's When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer (aka Million Years Blues) are others. And of course by the early 60s King was himself as much an idol and an icon as any of his precursors, and was exploring his own history with classy remakes of Whole Lot Of Lovin' and 3 O'Clock Blues. King of the blues? You'd better believe it.

Discussing the Power of Telemedicine
I am very pleased to launch our latest effort to encourage more widespread use and understanding of the life-saving field of telemedicine through our Power of Telemedicine web discussion. Telemedicine has grown steadily over the past decade. The USDA's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) has participated consistently along the way, supporting innovation in telemedicine as early as 1993 with our Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant program. Our telemedicine program is designed specifically to meet the health care needs of rural America. Through loans, grants and loan and grant combinations, advanced telecommunications technologies provide enhanced health care opportunities for rural residents. It, together with our Distance Learning program, has funded over 900 projects in 48 states and several US Territories totaling over $300 million. Read more »

I found his FS last season cringe-worthy. I enjoy him much more as a performer now, although I still don't find him particularly artistic.
The recent results indicate he is on winning streak and has even beaten Takahashi and Patrick. So yes, he has improved under Orser. I think he's the hot favourite to win Worlds in March.
Never had to use the ignore user feature on Golden Skate before, but I am glad it's there when I finally need it.
I hadn't seen this season's LP until today, and I must say, if Hanyu has improved under Orser, I'm not seeing it. I certainly didn't get the sense that they've found a way to work around the stamina issues, and he seemed bored with his program. Or maybe it was just me finding it dull.
It should be noted, though, that Hanyu made so much progress in his final junior season and his first senior seasons that he's a lot closer to his ceiling now; there's only so much he can improve.
Waiting for the Daisuke Takahashi's regress under Morozov thread to pop up anytime now too . . .
Yeah about the stamina, his body is moving but his facial expressions scream I'm tired. But he does have asthma and it's not gonna improve in just one year. This is something that needs to be observed over a long period of time. But I gotta say I didn't notice any of this in his Romeo and Juliet performance last year, so at least we can say he's regressed in hiding his stamina issues.

Ecouterre published an eye-opening article recently regarding one of our own favorite wardrobe staples: skinny jeans. But the eco-focused website didn't rave about how versatile they are or how many printed options are available for spring. They accused skinny jeans of nearly wrecking America's currency system:
In the late 1800s, when a single currency system was established, the bills were sustainably produced from waste fabric from the fashion industry. That's right: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were printed on fibers processed from unwanted materials, entirely compiled from recycled scraps. But a recent article published over at the Washington Post last month sheds light on how the fashion world's love of figure-hugging jeans since the '90's has wreaked havoc on currency production, tainting the waste scraps with spandex and rendering them useless.
Imagine if your dollar bills suddenly came with a bit of stretch!

STRUCTURING STRATEGIES, Tues April 16 - 7:00 PM
Recent series THE WAY OUT IS THE WAY TWO and other works.
(TRT: 78:00 min, 2010-2012)
Cauleen Smith's recent experimental psychogeographic films on Sun Ra, improvisation, and creative music, THE WAY OUT IS THE WAY TWO premiered at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in May 12-Sept 16, 2012.
Cauleen Smith will be in residence and giving a workshop in the School of Film/Video April 15-19. See Patti Palmer for information.
"In African and African-Diasporic cultural production, improvisation signifies mastery. The substitution of one thing for another can sometimes represent a concept more effectively than the thing itself. My recent work has been guided by research into Sun Ra's creative production process and the very nature of his melodies. The time that Sun Ra spent in Chicago was formative. He rehearsed his Arkestra, he wrote some of his most delicate and gorgeous big-band compositions here, and he engaged in intensive historical and linguistic research, in cooperation with other autodidact scholars with the aim of revising history. Sun Ra and his cohorts found ample evidence in primary sources that African thought and spirituality was central to all modern thought and science; and they aimed to prove it through research, through writings, and through art. My recent work is a celebration of Sun Ra's success in this endeavor as well as a way of expanding his legacy to include his deep and abiding love and commitment to African-American youth, to the underdog, and to the outsider."-- Cauleen Smith
Cauleen Smith is a filmmaker and artist whose work reflects upon the everyday possibilities of the black imagination. She grew up in Sacramento, California, received her B.A. from the School of Creative Arts at San Francisco State University and her M.F.A. from UCLA School of Theater-Television-Film. For the past several years Smith has produced multi-channel film and video installations that incorporate sculptural objects and text. Her interests roam from her roots in structuralist filmmaking to Afrofuturist narrative strategies. Materials and form are modified from project to project, thereby making the body of Smith's work unpredictably varied and diverse. She is currently teaching as a Visiting Artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago while exploring the intersection between art, protest, commerce and community on Chicago's southside.
Smith's narrative low-budget feature length film, Drylongso, earned her a 2001 Movado Someone To Watch Award from the Independent Spirit Awards, as well as awards from many festivals including SXSW and Urbanworld. In 2012, Smith was named Outstanding Artist by the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture. She has received grants from the Film Arts Foundation, American Film Institute, Rockefeller Foundation, and Creative Capital. Her experimental, installation and narrative work has shown at The Kitchen, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art as well as in film festivals and markets in Milan, London, Paris, and Berlin.
