We really like these pots, and for their price they're FANTASTIC.
will do business with this seller again, However, I thought that a.12 inch fry pan was included. It wasn't.......
Gave this item as a gift, she loved it! Great starter set.
I bought this set for my sister's birthday & after a few uses with the utensils that came with the set the small fry pan is all chipped up rendering it garbage! She tossed it out & now no longer uses them so I can't attest to the quality of the rest of the set?
Wish I'd have bought a set for myself, too, instead of just the one for a gift had I know how nice they were.
I haven't used it that much, but it seems to be ok. It is so much better than the stainless cookware I bought a few months ago. That was the worst and it is now in the trash. I think this stuff will be good, just can't say too much yet.
Needed to update my mish mosh of pots and pans after 38 years of marriage. Saw this T fal set and ordered it. Was very satisified. Be forewarned that it does require some seasoning to insure that is keeps it's non-stick feature but it was very easy to do. Recommend this product.
was a excellent product for the money, got it for my daughter for christmas and she loved it said it was a great cookware set
Bought for my daughter for her future home. She loves them. Stylish and match with almost any kitchen decor. Food doesn't stick to them. They heat evenly.
I needed new pots for our new home and these have been a dream to cook in for the past few weeks. They clean so well . You dont need to use high heat with a flat top stove. The price for this very nice set was a great value. I even added the matching griddle and a hard annodized roaster to expand the set and now i have a nice new versatile cooking set. This makes a great gift for yourself or for a loved one. I highly recommend this set. Great affordable quality.

Researchers from the NYC Transit Authority observed straphangers over three weeks last year to glean insights into the seating and standing behavior of subway riders.
You know this train's going express to freedom, equality, and "ain't I a woman?" township!
The MTA is taking BHM to new heights!
Yesterday's MTAdventure from Brooklyn to Inwood: I had on my headphones and tried to give my most menacing NYC look, and yet 3 people asked me questions my journey. One couple poked me and asked: "Where is the nearest Red Lobster"? - "I don't know. Maybe Times Square?" Another couple were tourists and clearly were not getting this whole "Uptown/Downtown" thing so I had to explain that concept to them and help them get to Rockefeller Center. While riding the A train a dude next to me asked: "Is this the D train?" To which I replied "Do you see that A right there? This is the A train!" Closer to the end of the journey there was a dude who seemed either high as a kite or mentally disturbed (or both!) and he was speaking in gibberish until we got to 191st street. He popped up and said "THIS IS MY STOP!" He exited and the whole train breathed a sigh of relief. Then as the doors were about to close the guy popped back in the train and said "NOPE- WASN'T MY STOP!"

I have fallen in love with this trap. My particular group makes a point of raiding libraries to see if they can find aything interesting. Wildcorn's idea is evil. Deliciously beautifully evil.
The big question is, what happens when the wizard dies?
A beautiful story for an interesting servant.
I feel like there is something good in there. How did it get its name?
I agree the story is the high point of this, not because the story itself is particularly novel, but because of the way in which it is told. It carries atmosphere and plausability, the description of the sea witch was what really got me.
I'm personally not fond of the item, as others have said there are many objects that drive a person mad with desire for it. It is well presented, and its incarnation as a teddy bear adds that nice creepy feeling. I do wish it weren't pink, that just screams "I have something wrong with me and you should pay attention!" The detailing of the deamon is nice as well, and actually provides some reasoning beyond "he's an evil deamon".
I think this item is quite useful with a beautiful story, but I would like to see how it is introduced into a plot or how it has more realistic than mythical impact on a world.
This is a good and interesting plot, but the premise doesn't sit well with me. Mostly because it turns the wife into a sort of psychopath. After all, if both of them are dead who would look after her child? If she cared at all for either of them the plot seems to fall apart. It would make more sense to me if the assassinations were keyed off of some sort of action on his part, like getting remarried. This would also turn the new wife into the prime suspect, as he would have inhereted a good deal of money from his previous wife. No one expects a dead killer.
I see no real reason to make the book intelligent, but I do like the risk/reward balance it presents. It's also very powerful, and the limitations are not very well defined though I suppose that is intentional. This makes a better idea than a submission.
I love submissions that have great flavor without being too lengthy. This has lots of possibilities but I think the one thing that would make it complete are one or two plot hooks.
I approve of this plot. It is a fully completed idea which can be stripped down to more basic elements (the idea of monsters protecting a town for some reason). While I like the twist Scrasamax put on it that still leaves the question of why they were not attacked by a large army before, which could be an entirely different plot in itself.

Whitney Houston's brother says HE'S to blame for introducing the singer to drugs like crack cocaine back in the '80s ... not Bobby Brown ... and last night he came clean to Oprah.
Michael Houston sat down with his mother Cissy and spilled his guts to Her Royal O-ness on "Oprah's Next Chapter" ... admitting he was the first person who did drugs with Whitney.
Michael says he feels extremely guilty for Whitney's death -- but says he didn't realize how deadly drugs could be when he first brought them to Whitney's doorstep ... explaining, "You gotta understand at the time ... the '80s ... it was acceptable."
Houston adds, "It's painful ... I feel responsible for what I let go so far."
Whitney died in Beverly Hills last February after a drug binge that included cocaine, Xanax and marijuana.
Sorry fuktard , everyone knew crack was dangerous in the 80s. Guess he didn't watch the millions of PSAs on TV warning kids that Crack is Wack.
"Acceptable"? No it wasn't acceptable in the '80's.
What you guys don't see is right BEHIND his CHAIR hiding is BOBBY BROWN with a GUN directed at him.
are they in competition with the Jackson's? Selling any story for financial gain......totally despicable, bunch of trash, trying to cash in!
All of Cissy Houston's children did drugs, its just that Whitney had the habit the worse.
First I want to say Thank You god for very special woman,Whitney Elizabeth Houston she will always be the grestest singer vocalist of all time no one can touch her on that,now for her brother how is he still alive after all the drugs he did and poor Whitney is gone,thats bs,theres more to this thats not being said,damn wake up people no one just dies like that I know people that have been on heroin for years and take prescription meds to,and they drink like fish they dont eat right or not at all too busy getting high they stay up for days and they never visiit a doctor but they are still here ,something happened to Whitney and it wasnt all illegal drugs!
I am sorry but in the 80's crack and coke were not acceptable at all... maybe to dopers and people in Hollywood but not the rest of us..
Oprah succumbing to the "black epidemic". Always looking to blame someone else. Whitney's dead because of Whitney. Period.
I don't think doing drugs has ever been "acceptable," unless you're an IDIOT!!!
I owe Bobby Brown an apology.
Whitney was not into crack, cocaine mixed with weed is what she was into.
This is Pathetic! First of all this was a brother who never entered the spotlight while she was alive. No one really knew he even existed. He is just jumping on the band wagon watching everyone make money why not have his turn! Again this whole family is PATHETIC! No wonder she was on DRUGS! GEEZ!
I lived in the Doddtown section in East Orange, NJ during that time and I can vouch that Whitney Houston's brother was indeed a crack addict. He and the guy that lived next door to me were both drug abusers.
Some are destined to failure at risk unbeknown-st to them. What you can't see let the eyes upon you be the soul to your salvation. Wow, public confessions for 15 mins of fame....The arrogance, this is not about him, this is about Whitney and the choice she made caught in the lies of deceit of the empty promises this drug offered. Truly is a sickness and should have been treated diligently. The truth of the matter it was a disease that manifested with all the hand outs that supplied the disease to substantiate others agenda. She couldn't say no. That was the problem. She was a darling....and it took and took till no more. Watch out BOBBY CHRISTINA. See the signs before the stop sign stops at your door......
The first time I was offered drugs I was around 16 years old. I was asked to try some pills called speckled birds, I'll never forget it! I said no then has never done any hard core street drugs or prescription drugs though I've been in the presence of them being done. I never wanted to be a drug head or be seen as a drug head so drugs were never an option for me, thank God!

Awful. Just awful. Like human bear-baiting. Kyle himself is truly obnoxious, presiding over the people who are there because they have some fairly major personal problems, alternating between exposing his "guests" to his righteous indignation and occasionally extreme patronisation.
Shows of this genre like Jerry Springer have humour, or Trisha (the predecessor to Kyle)have a degree of compassion, but in the case of the Jeremy Kyle Show all of this is stripped away to allow the usually very dirty laundry of people who really need help with little benefit to anyone other than allowing the viewing public to feel superior.

So guys. I was just thinking about how Roxy wants Jane to go out with Jake so much.
And then it hit me.
If it's the first option, aka her being in love with Jane, this situation would be quite similar to Nepeta's situation (Nepeta being in love with Karkat, but never being able to bring herself to tell him, and also letting Terezi be his matesprit instead)

Repeated head shaking. Foul-smelling, waxy build-up. Red, painfully inflamed
ears. What do all these things have in common? All are symptoms of otitis
externa, or what is commonly referred to as ear infections. If you have ever
groaned inwardly and felt dismay the moment your dog starts shaking his head or
rubbing his ears along the nearest available surface, you're not alone.
Unfortunately, too many pet parents are more than familiar with this recurring
medical problem. Often, it is accompanied by an offensive odor and one can only
imagine how overwhelming the smell is to the suffering pup!
Canine ear infections result from an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria in the
ear canal, causing redness, irritation and a heavy accumulation of wax. Likely
triggers of these maladies are skin reactions to inhaled allergens – like
pollen, mold or dust mites – or food allergies and sensitivities. Be aware that
both large ears and swimming predispose dogs to ear infections.
Humans tend to develop ear infections as a result of viral infections,
typically in infancy or early youth. As youngsters, our Eustachian tubes are
very small. Respiratory congestion can lead to blockage of these canals,
resulting in otitis media (a middle ear infection). Because the infection is
internal, they frequently require oral antibiotics. In contrast, pets usually
develop ear infections as adults, and the infection is almost always localized
in the external portion of the ear. In most cases, the application of
prescription drops or ointments directly into the ear canal usually resolves the
illness. If you suspect your companion animal may be suffering from an ear
infection, please seek veterinarian assistance for diagnosis and treatment. If
necessary, your vet may prescribe a topical medicine and advise routine
In this episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah reveals the steps to safe and
effective ear cleaning to promote overall ear health.
Have you ever found freshly dug holes in your backyard? Or bits of your favorite chair strewn across your den? Are you the proud parent of a canine that greets your guests by repeatedly jumping on them? Does your furry friend beg at the table, bark incessantly or strategically deposit her poo next to the dining room table? Simply put, if your dog could star in a film entitled "Dogs Gone Wild", then you share a common complaint among dog lovers worldwide: frustrating behavioral problems. More...
A relationship with a companion animal can be one of the most rewarding experiences
we humans encounter in our lifetimes. In the last 20 years, medical science has
repeatedly shown that having a dog or cat in your life can result in health benefits
for you, including improved, self-reported mental and physical health, and even
fewer doctor visits compared to no-pet people. Additionally, caring for pets can
help us to develop a greater sense of responsibility, elevate our own sense of self-worth
and foster a mutually beneficial bond that enriches not only our lives but those
of our pets, too. More...
Nail trimming is a vital part of your pet's healthcare routine. Unfortunately,
it's often neglected as many pet parents never receive any training about the
best method for trimming nails safely. Watch this short video for helpful tips
for better nail care. More...
Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is the most common lower urinary tract disorder
diagnosed in cats. Symptoms can include painful urination, urination outside the
litter box and blood in the urine. Stress is a significant factor in the incidence
of FIC. Veterinary researchers have determined that cats with highly sensitized
nervous and endocrine systems are more prone to FIC. Research indicates that felines
suffering from FIC may experience high levels of stress without exhibiting any noticeable
symptoms. Fortunately, there are specific alterations to your home and changes you
can make in your cat's daily routine that can help to prevent mental and physical
stress. More...
Peeing outside the litter box, otherwise known as feline inappropriate
elimination, is one of the most frustrating and common behavioral problems some
cat lovers must endure. Feline inappropriate elimination refers to the location
of the deed, and it is considered inappropriate by most cat owners because
peeing on the bed, the rug, the curtains, the tile, the laundry or anywhere
outside of the litter box is not considered appropriate!
What many cat guardians may not know is that urinating outside the litter
box, or defecating for that matter, is a message from your cat. Cats have a
natural inclination toward sand. They prefer to dig in the soil before they
eliminate: that is why litter boxes are so effective, even in young kittens.
Cats do not naturally choose flat, hard, or cloth-like surfaces, and they do not
eliminate outside the litter box out of meanness or spite. Your cat is, in
essence, letting you know that something is wrong and is asking for help. More...
For most pet parents, the mere prospect of a companion animal becoming sick
or injured can be frightening. In the event of an emergency, many pet parents
feel powerless to help, not knowing what to do to improve the likelihood of a
good outcome. However, you are not powerless to assist, and with minimal
preparation and some helpful knowledge, you can help your companion animal
successfully navigate an emergency situation. More...
Is your dog getting ants in his pants? If you are like most dog owners, the
plunge of winter temperatures has dampened your enthusiasm for outdoor activity,
causing angst for your cooped-up canine. Many animal behavioral specialists
reported that dogs that didn't receive regular exercise during the winter became
antsy and reactive in the spring and some developed unwanted behavioral
patterns. Additionally, it is not good for a dog's health to be active in the
summer and a couch-potato in the winter. For optimum mental and physical health,
many veterinarians recommend that dogs receive 45 minutes to an hour of daily,
consistent exercise and enrichment, broken up into shorter intervals.
Even if we want the best for our canine companions, winter presents
challenges that make it difficult to keep up a regular exercise routine for our
dogs. If you are wondering how to keep your dog active, watch this video. In it,
Dr. Sarah gives tips and advice from venturing outside to transforming your
indoor space into a canine activity center. Most activities do not require fancy
technology or major space overhauls – just some creativity and a sense of fun.
Now is a great time to develop better habits for your canine companion.
Just like in humans, obesity is rampant in America's pet population. When dogs
carry too much weight they place an extra strain on all their organs, and they
can be at an increased risk for diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and
pancreatitis. Unsurprisingly, excess weight gain can interfere with a pet's
quality of life and actually shorten their life span.
Fortunately, dogs respond very well to simple weight-loss programs. By
increasing your pet's exercise and reducing the amount of calories he or she
eats, you can help reduce your pet's weight and the risk of health problems
associated with obesity.
But how do you determine whether or not your dog is overweight? And, if your
dog is overweight, what can you do about it? In this short video, Dr. Sarah
shows you how to learn if your dog is carrying too much weight, and gives advice
on how to help your dog shed unwanted pounds.
If you're like most people, you're currently in the midst of another incredibly busy holiday season. With planning, traveling, baking, shopping, get-togethers with friends and family, there seems to be no end to the to-do list … or the holiday stress.

AIM, Virus Removal
General Information
While a virus cannot affect a computer through an instant message alone, it can be infected through attachments sent through instant messenging programs as well as profile links. Instant messengers can also promote virus infestation via links that redirect users to websites designed to take advantage of security vulnerabilities in various operating systems and browsers.
There are currently a number of virii that affect AOL's Instant Messenger. Links to anything with a .scr or .exe file should be avoided. These are executable files and more than likely contain viruses. The same is true for .pif files and anything related to Block-Checker.
Symptoms of Infestation
Browser Termination
Recently, there has been a trend to write viruses that close web browsers when a user attempts to visit a remediation page. In the case of AIM Viruses, http://www.jayloden.com/dodge.html will help users whose browser terminates upon attempts to visit the AIMFix page.

Londonderry man charged in aggravated assaultBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | April 19,2013BRATTLEBORO A 21-year-old Londonderry man pleaded innocent Thursday to charges of aggravated assault on a housemate after he came home Wednesday upset about something his sister had posted on Facebook, according to court records.
Timothy Slade also pleaded innocent to a related charge of simple assault by menacing.
Judge John Wesley released Slade on conditions, including that he not have any contact with Jacob Johnson, 21, the man he allegedly tried to choke, as well as not to harass family members who witnessed the attack.
According to police, Slade grabbed Johnson around the neck and went nose to nose with him, and pushed him into a couch and started attacking him.
Johnson told police that Slade kept on telling him he wanted to fight him, but he refused.
Police said they saw scratches and red marks on Johnsons neck.
According to court records, Slade and Johnson, and other people, including Slades sister and young son, all live with Slades father in South Londonderry.
Slade had been ordered held without bail by another judge Wednesday afternoon after he was arrested at his familys home. At least two family members said that Slade was in a rage when he came home Wednesday, upset about a comment posted on Facebook by his sister Kimberly.
But his anger at his sister later turned to Johnson, according to court records. Slade told police that he was upset with Johnson not doing any work and not contributing any money to the expenses of the household.
Windham County Deputy States Attorney Ashley Harriman said that Slade was ordered by the judge to stay 300 feet away from Johnson and his vehicle. Slade was given permission to return to the home once in order to retrieve some possessions and his vehicle from the home on Thompsonburg Road. Harriman said that Slade will live somewhere else.
Slades father tried to break up the fight, at which point Kimberly Slade called 911 to report a fight.
Terrance Slade told police that he was trying to hold his son down and pull him off Johnson. He told police he didnt know what the argument was about.
But I feel that he needs emotional counseling and help, the father wrote in his affidavit.

What All That Dragon Ball Z Screaming Looks Like In Real Life
I cannot imagine the sheer hours of screaming, grunting and shouting that have gone into dubbing Dragon Ball Z over the years. Luckily, I don't have to imagine any more. »

Goku showing up on earth kicked off a whole string of ridiculous events in the Dragon Ball world, not all of which were to humanity's benefit. But what if Goku had never shown up at all? »
Dragon Ball Z fans won't just get to play as iconic characters in the upcoming Dragon Ball Xenoverse game—they'll also get to play as a new character introduced by Bandai Namco. In fact, you're looking at him right now. »

Hyper Dragon Ball Z might look like a forgotten arcade game of the 1990's, but it's actually a modern Dragon Ball game made by super fans in the indie fighting game engine, Mugen. And boy does the game look fantastic (the way it plays, sure, but also: dem sprites, tho.) »

Authors, showrunners, directors and horrible people. They kill characters we love constantly, just to make us feel emotions, or they give us awesome characters and then plan to get rid of them for no reason! Luckily, sometimes fans can come together and keep these bastards from destroying the fictional people we love… »
A live action Dragon Ball Z sounds silly, doesn't it? Maybe that's why this depiction of Dragon Ball Z, which is completely absurd and ridiculous, works so well. It embraces the inherent silliness of a Dragon Ball Z that involves modern day people. »

Comments about 11" Sidewalk Screamer for Boys:
It broke the first time that we brought it out, one of the pedals would not stay on, the washer would not keep it in place. On the plus side, they provided an extra washer so that we can try to install the pedal with the other washer. On the minus side, it's not a standard type washer, so if it doesn't work, there is no hope. My son though was thrilled, proud to have his own "motorcycle". He didn't even care about the pedal issue and learned how to put it back on with the washer by himself. Made it worthwhile, that and the nostalgia of it.

Anybody tried this place? Looks cool! Definitely different way of selling. Just wondering if it is for real.
I just saw it on AT last night. Sounds fishy. I haven't checked the site yet though.
dont waste your time or money. I have seen sites like this before with other merchandise and its a B!TCH to win. Each item starts at a penny. Once a bid is placed then it add's a penny and time onto the item. So if 5 bids are placed at once, then 5 cents is added along with about 50 seconds. The only way there is a winner is if the time runs out because people stop bidding or if it reaches the weekly end date. If it is set up the same way as the other websites, then people can set automatic bidding sequences. That allows them to set particular times for them to bid. I personally wouldn't waste my time or money on it. You can get stuff cheap IF you win and that is a big IF
kylecurtis04, Thanks that helps us see that your money will be going done the drain. I been busy so I didn't have time to look into it. I knew someone would know. Thanks again!
Hey, not a problem. Glad that I could help out.
My wife saw a commercial for quibids,kinda the same. You actually have to buy bids to get into the high priced items. And they aren't cheap! And you could waste them all and be out 20+ dollars and have nothing to show for it. Just my 2 cents. Hope its helpful. Tom.
You pay for each bid anywhere from 30 cents to over a dollar depending on the site. If you bid and someone else bids after you, you just lost your bid and the cost of it.
I was sure it was a scam but I could always be wrong. So I asked the experts and got a great answer. DON'T WASTE MY MONEY.
Ya somin just dont look right.................
They have similar rubbish here. One quotes that even if you don't win, they give you a discount based on the bids you make. Just a con......

X Training: Class #1
Today didn't start off well, but I've since concluded that exercise is a state of mind. It requires mental strength more than physical to get your body to sweat. I have spent the past few days barely able to move due to my X Training Orientation this last Saturday and despite waking up with a sore throat and very sore body, I decided to buck up and go (thank you Chris for your added encouragement…"Uh oh Brenda, Tami is trying to get out of something. Is this a WORK OUT day??? You're so busted!"). Anyway, I went feeling that at any given moment I would have to just lay on the floor and let the class work out around me.
You know how it goes, once you get to the place you didn't feel like going, you are somehow inspired to engage. I decided right then and there that there would be no more mental arguments in the future unless vomiting, fever, violent coughing, strep or broken body parts are involved. It just isn't worth it. I have made the commitment to exercise (2 years-signed in blood), change my body and kick diabetes to the curb—cleaning my house isn't going to solve or produce any of the above.
SO, everyday I am not working out I am going to remind myself why I am and when it's time to hit the gym, hit it I will…with determination and desire to change, even if I feel like laying on the floor. If only I could get that Brenda out of her spinning class to join me….nothing like partnership in the gym!

The Community Rating is the school's average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.
All three of my children attended (my oldest is 14 now!). This is an 'old fashioned preschool' with emphasis on feeling confident with school and oneself, professional and serious teaching, and parent importance in the process. My children loved going and had absolutely no transition issues to public kindergarten - they were well prepared for both the social and academic issues that they would face in public school.

The choice was theirs, and I'd say American teens chose well. Taylor Swift, Hunter Hayes, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum and Lucy Hale were among the country winners at Sunday night's (Aug. 10) Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Swift took home the honors of choice female country artist, snagging the win from fellow nominees Jana Kramer, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves and Carrie Underwood. And of course, the superstar dominated the red carpet in a flirty, green crop top and skirt by Novis.
Hayes beat out Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban to snag the title of choice male country artist. Lady Antebellum was named choice country group over Parmalee, The Band Perry, Zac Brown Band, and Florida Georgia Line, but the FGL boys bounced back for a win with "This Is How We Roll" featuring Bryan for choice country song.
Hale took home the honors for choice TV actress in the drama category for her role on the hit series, Pretty Little Liars. The Memphis-born beauty, who also worked the carpet in an adorable satin red minidress, recently launched her country music career with her debut album Road Between. As one of CMT's Next Women of Country, she is back on the airwaves with a brand new single, "Lie a Little Better."
Hale accepted her colorful surfboard trophy from The Band Perry. Of course, Kimberly Perry was also a standout in the fashion world that night, wearing a blue lace minidress as she strolled the red carpet.
Shelton's hit NBC show The Voice also won big for choice TV reality competition show.

May Hot Products
Add a Photo ID to Access Cards Avery Dennison Worldwide Office Products Group introduces Avery Photo ID Labels for access control cards. Designed in conjunction with HID Corporation's Development Partner Program, the new labels offer facilities...
Software with a View
The ELMO MasterView-X software makes it possible to view, manage and control several network-based video camera systems from one easy-to-use interface. It provides the power and tools required to manage and analyze content obtained from a local or network-controlled camera systems, archived video and series of still images. As an automated attendant, it "watches" the video when nobody is present and alerts the user on an external device when an event is detected. Image Enhancer software allows the camera to reproduce images with daytime clarity even those taken in the dark.
Designed to enhance capabilities of the ELMO PTC-201-IP cameras, the software is included at no charge with the purchase of the PTC201C-IP or any other qualifying ELMO IP / Network camera product. It also allows viewing IP/Network Cameras on a pocket PC via a wireless LAN. For more, visit www.elmo-corp.com.
Long Range Day/Night Camera
EEPCORE introduces its high- end day and night bullet cameras, suited to both residential and commercial applications. With two types of resolution, 480TVL or 380TVL, this bullet camera reaches up to 100 feet in complete darkness. It features a dual filter to deliver true colors during the day and eliminate focus drift in low light conditions. It has a built in 4~9mm auto iris vari-focal lens. Housing design resembles a track light and the mounting bracket is thick and heavy duty. The housing and the bracket are connected with a ball socket joint, allowing movement in all directions. Because the cables run through the bracket, cables are not visible after the installation. For more information, visit www.eepcore.com.
Because Fiber-Optics Can Be Tapped
Fiber SenSys introduces SecurLAN to the IT and Telecom markets. Through SecurLAN, security and facilities managers can physically protect the data conduit, cable plant and telecom segments against accidental or intentional physical intrusion. Because fiber-optic data can be tapped and the fact that military bases contain many foreign nationals, the need for physical protection is mandated. For more, visit www.fibersensys.com.
Keep Keys Handy
GE's Security Business releases the second installment in its AccessPoint consumer key storage product line. All are wall-mounted and help keep spare and emergency keys accessible and secure. The Key Organizer is a cabinet featuring three convenient cups on the outer door that hold everything from key rings to cell phones and wallets. Inside, the formal spare key storage system offers 12 removable key tags with labels for long-term key storage and easy identification.

Support for IP-Based Video Surveillance Devices The Intellex IP (Internet Protocol) from American Dynamics is a digital video management system that provides support for IP based video surveillance devices, and double the frame capacity and resolution of the current Intellex system. Typical Intellex IP users span the gaming industry, campuses, and government facilities, to name a few.
Intellex IP utilizes video servers and digital video cameras transmitting video over an IP network instead of analog cameras over coaxial cables. Analog cameras can easily be incorporated into an Intellex IP system by using a video server that converts the analog signal to a digital signal. This system, just one-quarter the chassis size of the previous Intellex system, allows for reduced cabling costs, widespread camera distribution across a wide campus, and greater flexibility to scale to large, high-performance video surveillance systems. For more information, visit www.americandynamics.net.

The Impossible Cool
You can have Robert Pattinson.
You can have James Franco.
You can have Justin Bieber.
They will NEVER be James Dean.
Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'm a serious minded and intense little devil—terribly gauche and so tense that I don't see how people can stay in the same room as me. I know I couldn't tolerate myself.
Eternity?...That is one hell of a movie.
I try so hard to make people reject me. Why?
My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.
I think the prime reason for living in this world is discovery.
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.
I'm not going to go through life with one arm tied behind my back. I'm playing the damn bongos and the world can go to hell.
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

Top 5 Horror Films You Probably Haven't Seen
There are a gazillion horror films out there. And I'm not gonna lie, I've seen most of them.
This Halloween, I'm going to be snuggling on the couch with my boyfriend and pigging out on junk food, with my eyes glued to the screen while we watch scary movies. To me, that is the perfect way to celebrate on a chilly fall night.
In honor of Halloween, I've decided to list five horror films I think you should know exist. You're not going to see The Exorcist or Scream on here, because this isn't a boring list. It's an awesome list.
Let's start, shall we?
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956):
Best classic horror film
Body Snatchers takes place in a picturesque 1950s world where martinis after work are mandatory and everybody is perfect...or are they?
The plot centers around Dr. Bennell, who returns home to discover many of his patients fear their loved ones are impostors. He decides to investigate the complaints and comes to a shocking discovery.
Not only is this an entertaining horror film, it also perfectly embodies the atmosphere 1950s America was facing at the time: fear of outsiders and fear of government repression.
Teeth (2007):
Weirdest horror film
This film is about a girl with a killer pussy.
And I'm not talking about a cat.
It focuses on a coming-of-age girl who has teeth in her you-know-what.
Now, you're probably thinking Teeth is X-rated and a cheap trick. But it's not! This film is actually quite modest, given it's content, and it is a really good film. Not so-bad-it's-good, but good good!
You are just going to have to trust me. I will say no more.
Pan's Labyrinth (2006):
Most beautiful horror film
This magical dark fairytale is so visually stunning, it is jaw-dropping.
The plot revolves around a young girl living in post-fascist Spain. She meets a fairy who tells her she is a princess, but in order to claim her crown, she needs to complete three gruesome tasks.
Words cannot describe how much I adore this whimsical, breathtaking horror film.
It is a must-see.
The Last House on the Left (1972):
Most realistic horror film
Do not watch this movie.
I had the misfortune of not knowing what The Last House on the Left was about before I saw it. I was completely repulsed, shocked, and dismayed. When this film came out in theaters, during the early 1970s, many audience members fainted and some even had heart attacks. It is still banned in several countries to this day. It's that awful.
But I'm very serious when I say that I will not hesitate to show my teenage daughter this film one day. It is the best after-school special in the world.
Leprechaun (1993):
Stupidest horror film
I'm not sure what makes this movie scarier: the cheesy dialogue or Jennifer Aniston's old nose. JUST KIDDING. Jennifer Aniston's film debut is a treat for viewers of this Irish-inspired gem.
The plot focuses around a severely unattractive and evil Leprechaun who goes on a killing spree to find his beloved pot of gold.
This movie is so bad, it's delicious. When I was in high school, my best friend Allison and I had Leprechaun sleepovers, where we stayed up all night watching all his dirty little adventures. In the sequels, the silly little fellow goes on killing sprees in "the hood," Las Vegas, New York City, and even outer space!
Will you see any of these films on Halloween night?

Leah (Part III)
This was the last baby-sitting gig I ever had. This experience was so traumatic it was actually brought up in a therapy session I had three years after it occurred.
During my junior year in college, a new family moved across the street from my parents' house. The couple had a 12-year-old daughter, Leah, and a 6-year-old son, Chris.
The first evening I went there to babysit, the mother acted extremely nervous. I figured she was just concerned about leaving her kids with a stranger, which is understandable.
When I walked into the hallway, little Chris was standing eerily still and staring at me.
"Our last babysitter shut herself in the closet and cried," he said, solemnly.
"Why?" I asked, puzzled.
He shrugged and walked away.
Despite that odd exchange, the evening went extremely well. Chris was quiet and well-behaved. Leah was eager to please and seemed to idolize me.
"I love your hair," she would gush, touching it with envy. "And you're so pretty! I want to be pretty like you. I want to be your best friend!"
I was extremely flattered. I was also confused as to why Leah even needed a baby-sitter. At 12, she seemed awfully mature and responsible.
But then the lying started. The next weekend, Leah tried to convince me to drop her brother off at a police station because she suspected he had been kidnapped as a baby. She told me her mother had a sex-change operation and was really a man. She told me she was secretly married to a boy in her class and demanded I address her as Mrs. Anderson.
These lies irritated me and I was quick to dismiss them, which only made Leah angry.
I was also getting fed up with the way she treated her younger brother. She kept leaving Chris on my parents' doorstep at random times of the day, behind her mother's back. She also started calling him "It." She would steal food off his plate at dinner time and laugh when I caught her in the act.
One afternoon in October, I promised Leah that if she didn't tell a lie all day, I would take us all out on a bicycle trip around the neighborhood. Right before we were going to take off, Leah told me she had underwent DNA testing and discovered I was really her mother. Disgusted and not amused, I told her the bike trip was off.
Her face got dark red and twisted into a frightening, menacing scowl.
"We're going bike-riding!" she roared at me.
"No, we're not," I said, calmly.
She went into the garage and started unlocking her bike.
"Put your bike away, we're not going," I said, crossing my arms.
In one swoop, she picked up the bike and swung it across the garage, smashing the garage door. I'm not fucking kidding. It was like The Incredible Hulk or something. I was horrified.
When her parents got home, I told them I was never baby-sitting their kids again. They didn't ask questions or try to convince me otherwise. They merely nodded sadly and paid me.
A couple weeks later, Leah's mother called me, in tears. Her husband was stuck at work and she had to attend a neighborhood watch meeting. I warily agreed to watch the kids for an hour.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Chris was in his room, playing, and Leah was downstairs doing the laundry her mother said needed to be done. But wait...what was that noise?
With a sense of doom, I walked downstairs to the laundry room. When I entered the room, Leah was reaching to turn the dryer on. But there was a whimper coming from inside the dryer.
OH MY GOD! Leah had put her brother in the dryer! I shoved her out of the way and opened the dryer, which had just started. I grabbed her frightened, sobbing brother out of the machine.
"I wasn't going to hurt him," Leah said to me, with no emotion in her eyes.
I ignored her and ran upstairs, clutching Chris. I called their mother and before she could speak, I said, "You need to come home right this minute otherwise I am going to call the police," and I hung up.
I was so overwhelmed with shock and horror, I started crying. When their mother arrived, I spit out the situation. Before leaving, I told their mother she needed to get Leah help. Chris would have been killed, if I had not come downstairs in time.
Unfortunately, it took another incident to wake their parents up. The following Saturday, there were helicopters circling my parents' neighborhood. When I asked another neighbor about them, I was told Chris had ran away from home, because he was so scared of his sister. The police were looking for him.
They found him later that day, unharmed, and Leah got sent to a children's mental health clinic. She stayed there for six years and was released in 2010.
This past May, I ran into Leah at the grocery store. She was absolutely gorgeous, one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. She also seemed...normal.
She told me she's living with her boyfriend in a neighboring suburb and she's trying to find a job. She asked me if we could grab coffee sometime, but I told her I was simply too busy, which was a lie.
It just seems that being friends with her, even if she is better, would be a really bad idea.

The Montgomery Twins (Part II)
I honestly don't even remember how I met Mrs. Montgomery.
But when I was a sophomore in college, word got around that I was babysitting. Almost every night I found myself bombarded with calls from desperate parents. Mrs. Montgomery was one of them. She needed someone to watch her 9-year-old twins that Saturday night.
When I first arrived at the Montgomery house, I could tell this babysitting gig was going to be a headache.
The colonial two-story house was absolute perfection. Fancy modern artwork decorated the walls. Glass tabletops with no smudges. Spotless white carpet.
I don't trust a house that clean, especially when twins are involved.
Mrs. Montgomery herself looked like Barbie Doll. She had long blonde hair and flaunted a fantastic body.
Every food product in the house was organic and mostly vegan. The girls were to have quinoa and raw veggies for dinner, she said. If they had a sweet tooth, there were prunes in the cupboard. The girls were not allowed to eat anything processed or containing sugar.
"Do you they have food allergies?" I asked, concerned.
Mrs. Montgomery looked surprised.
"Not at all," she said. "We're just a healthy family. Nobody in this household eats sugary or processed food. Plus, the girls need to be in top shape for pageant season."
When she left, the little girls came out of their hiding spots. They were decked out in vibrant blue eyeshadow, bright pink blush, red lips, and gloppy mascara.
They studied me intently, which made me nervous.
"Are you a lesbian?" one of the twins asked.
"What makes you think that?" I asked.
"Because you aren't wearing makeup," the twin said. "Mommy says that women who don't wear makeup all the time are lesbians."
Before I could respond, the other twin intercepted.
"Why are you fat?" she asked.
Um, I was five feet tall and 93 pounds. I didn't even dignify her question with an answer.
"What do you girls want to do?" I asked. "Play a game?"
They girls stared at me, blankly.
"Do you have any board games in the house?" I asked.
"What's a board game?" one of the twins asked.
"Video games?" I asked, baffled.
They shook their heads.
"We're not allowed to play games because Mommy says they rot brains," one of the twins explained.
"What do you do for fun?" I asked.
"I dunno, just put on makeup and weigh ourselves on the bathroom scale," the same twin responded. "Or yoga, but Cathy is on vacation."
So we literally sat on the pristine sofa and talked about their upcoming beauty pageants until dinner time.
Of course, I fucked things up from there.
You see, I burnt their dinner. I'm not sure how, it was just boxed quinoa and vegetables. But there was a big misunderstanding involving a fire and my not knowing how to use a stove.
The girls were delighted by the chaos. They had never known so much excitement!
So we went to the store and I got ingredients for the only dinner I knew how to make at the time: a chocofluffernutter.
Basically, you spread peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and chocolate syrup on toast and eat it.
The girls were dubious at first, but after the first bite, they couldn't believe their luck.
"Oh my god, this is awesome!" they kept repeating, over and over again, in astonishment. It was the first time they had ever had marshmallow fluff in their lives. It was the first time they had ever had chocolate syrup and Jiffy peanut butter.
"Is this what heaven tastes like?" one of the twins asked me, dazed.
I was so fascinated by their reactions to the junk food, I just sat there and observed them. It was like watching aliens.
After dinner, I helped them take off their makeup and taught them how to play
. One of the twins was a little too excited at the prospect of living in a shack with some boy named James.
When Mrs. Montgomery arrived, she was pleasantly surprised to see the girls in such good spirits.
But unfortunately, I did not know that giving chocolate to a little girl for the first time was the equivalency of giving a junkie their first taste of crack.
A couple weeks later, Mrs. Montgomery angrily called me to let me know one of the twins had been caught drinking Hershey's syrup under her bed covers at 4 a.m. the night before.
I was never asked to babysit the twins again.

Adventures in Babysitting (Part I)
Last week I was on the computer at the library, when I heard somebody call out my name.
I looked up and a good-looking blonde guy was waving at me. I scowled at him because I don't like it when strangers acknowledge me, but he continued to wave and then eventually came over.
"I can't believe it's really you!" the hot guy gushed. "It's been so long!"
Oh shit, I thought, did I date this guy? I racked my brain over my past relationships and dating disasters. Perhaps it had been so traumatic, my brain simply destroyed the memory!
"You were the best babysitter I ever had," the boy continued. "You are just as beautiful now as you were when I was ten."
A smile froze on my face. The strapping young gentleman standing before me was none other than Scottie, one of the kids I used to babysit when I was in college.
Holy shit.
Am I that old?! Well, I must be.
In honor of this blast from the past, I have decided to share my babysitting experiences from college with you.
Spoiler alert: They're not boring.
My stories are too lengthy to put in one post. So, I will be doing a three-part series.
You're welcome.
My first story revolves around: Scottie.
Scottie lived in a huge three story house located a block away from my parents' home. He was absolutely adorable, with a mop of shaggy blonde hair and big blue eyes. He was in fourth grade.
An hour before his bedtime, Scottie announced he was going to do his math homework.
I was pre-med at the time, juggling 18 hours of advanced calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology lab that semester.
I smugly told Scottie that if he had questions with his little fourth grade homework, I would be more than happy to help.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Scottie called from the living room to say he needed my assistance.
I walked over to the coffee table and looked over his shoulder.
The problem stated:
"Jane ordered five pounds of chicken, two pounds of beef, and a half-pound of turkey from the butcher shop. The chicken was two dollars per pound, the beef was three dollars per pound, and the turkey was fifty cents per pound. She gave two-thirds of the chicken to her mother, who reimbursed her for half. Jane had $20 in her pocket, but dropped a $5 bill on her way to the store. How much money did Jane have left in her pocket when she got home that night?"
Are you fucking kidding me?
"I thought you were only in fourth grade," I said, wearily.
"I am!" Scottie responded.
I rubbed my temples and sighed.
"Scottie, I think you've been working so hard that you need a break!" I said. "Shoo! Shoo!" And I waved him out of the room.
He looked at me strangely and slowly walked up the stairs.
"But I only just started," he tried explaining.
I shooed him away again.
As soon as he was out of sight, I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone book.
I dialed the number for the nearest butcher shop.
Thankfully, it was still open.
"Hi, my name is Jane and I would like to purchase five pounds of chicken, two pounds of beef, and a half-pound of turkey," I told the employee when he answered.
"Oven-gold chicken or honey-roasted?" the man asked. "And would you like the beef 93 percent lean?"
Shit. The math book hadn't specified!
"Um, whatever is two dollars a pound," I answered, meekly.
"Our chicken is $4.27 a pound," he said. "Honey-roasted is a dollar more."
Wait, what?
"I need to give two-thirds of it to my mother!" I stuttered, practically in tears.
"Excuse me?" the man asked.
I hung up quickly.
What the fuck was I going to do? I couldn't admit to Scottie, or have his parents find out, that somebody studying to be a doctor couldn't even help him with his fourth-grade math homework!
So, I did what I did when I had calculus homework I couldn't figure out.
I called my father.
Surely, a physicist could figure out this stupid shit.
When my father answered, I asked him if he could help me with Scottie's math homework.
He was disgusted. "You can't figure out a fourth grader's math assignment?" he asked. "You're taking Advanced Calculus!"
I explained the homework assignment over the phone. There was silence on the other end.
"That's retarded," he dad finally said. "I'm coming over."
So, my dad came over and had a look at the math book. He was dumbfounded by the complexity of the problem for a fourth grader. It only took him a few minutes to figure it out and he left before Scottie even knew he was there.
When Scottie came downstairs, I proudly showed him the solution. He was impressed.
"Now you can go to bed!" I said, cheerfully.
Scottie shook his head.
"No I can't," he said. "I still have 24 more math problems just like it!"
Yes, my friends, it was a very long night. When Scottie's dad got home around midnight, we were still trying to figure out how much Jane had left in her pocket after the clumsy little bitch dropped five quarters outside a flower shop.
Anyway, it was a delight seeing Scottie again after all those years. He informed me that he is graduating from high school in May and he even took me to the parking lot to show me the brand new Mercedes convertible his parents bought him for his 18th birthday.
He said he is applying to colleges, but he isn't sure what he wants to major in yet.
"Maybe you should major in math," I said, snorting with laughter.
Scottie smiled politely, but I could tell he didn't understand the joke.

Guest Post: Just be a Hooker!
It's not everyday when a gorgeous redhead saves my ass.
But, alas, it has happened!
My awesome and dear friend Jessica, from
Stumbling Towards Nirvana
, has come to my rescue this internet-less week!
I hope you will enjoy her hilarious Halloween guest post below and also check out her
, which is both inspiring and relatable.
Thanks, Jess!
Here she is:
So, here's the thing: if you want to be "sexy" this Halloween, just be a hooker. Seriously. Buy some 4-inch pink pleather boots (I found mine at second hand store), and run into the night in all your hooker, streetwalker, high-paid call girl glory. Proudly tell people that you're a stripper or a 7th avenue whore and then yell "shots for all my fellow sluts!" and get the party started.
Embrace the fact that just for one night, you're dressed like you could charge $500 an hour -- $1000 if he wants to get really dirty.
But don't, for the love of god, pretend that you're dressing up as an actual nurse, or cop or referee and your costume just happens to be missing almost all its material.
If you want to be sexy this Halloween, go for it. Go for it hard. But don't dress like Julia Roberts's skanky cousin and then pretend you're anything other than a girl who's embracing her inner hoochie.
I know there are certain costume creators who want you to believe that any costume can be made sexy, but this just isn't the case. Certain things just aren't naturally supposed to be "hot," and when you try to force the issue, you get nothing but drunk people laughing at you behind your scantily-clad back.
For instance:
"Sexy Pinocchio"
Pinocchio is a fucking frightening story about an old man who's so super lonely he creates a boy out of a toy and then that boy is lured away by creepy guys who try to turn him into a donkey. True story. True, terrifying story that is anything buy "sexy."
And no, that phallic nose does not help things.
"Sexy Crazy Person"
First of all, this costume is going to prevent you from doing anything, so I'm not sure why you'd even consider it. And secondly, what part of "I'm so nuts I might freak out and kill people so restrain me" is the sexy part?
Besides, once you undo the arms, your costume just goes back to looking like you're a hooker in a weird white dress. (Read my initial point about just being a prostitute).
"Sexy Clockwork Orange Person"
So, I'm not sure if the good people at Yardy.com have ever read Clockwork Orange, but if they did, they would realize the main character is kind of like the antithesis of "sexy" – and also a guy.
Plus (are we sensing a trend here?) this girl looks like she just stepped off the Vegas strip. Pour some glitter on her and you've got a showgirl who makes a little extra cash on the side by sleeping with sad, ugly businessmen who think they're the only one she actually does this with.
"Sexy Shark"
Okay – sharks are terrifying. There's nothing "sexy" about an animal that could rip you in half if given the chance, and since there's been an increase in shark bite deaths recently, I don't think I want to start fucking laughing at them.
Also, this costume doesn't look like a shark AT ALL. I mean, what's with those armbands? Sharks don't have those. They also don't have furry tassels on the end of their heads. Because if they did, we could pull them every time they tried to sever our legs and maybe get away, instead of dying a horrible and terrifying death.
"Sexy KISS WoMan"
Ugh. If there's anything I hate in this world, it's taking a character that's always been a dude, and not only turning into a costume for a chick, but making it "sexy" at the same time.
I mean, who thinks that weird make-up is sexy? No one does, because it's not. Plus, those boots are ugly.
"Sexy Transformer"
Unless you were a 14-year-old boy, these movies were lame. So why the hell would you want to spend like $50 on a costume that commemorates them? Not only were the Transformers dudes, they were robots. Alien robots. Who spent a lot of time with Shia Labeouf. Who wants to spend a lot of time with Labeouf?
Also, no one is going to get this costume. Not unless they're a giant nerd. And really, is that who you want to be spending Halloween with? A giant nerd? You dressed up in a tiny skirt and weird knee socks to hang out with a guy who likes alien robots Shia Labeouf movies?
Didn't think so.
Ladies, this Halloween, I want you to be as sexy and as hot as you can possibly be. But save yourself a lot of time and money and shipping costs and just go Pretty Woman on their asses all night long. Embrace your slutty side without having to deal with people looking at you weird and whispering, "wait, is that girl a sexy shark?"
Everyone knows what a hooker looks like.
PS: Even if you go as a whore, people may still mistake your costume for something a guidette would wear on the Jersey Shore. This can't be helped. Those girls know how to embrace their hooker side like no one else on this earth. Besides actual hookers.

Sal Mineo
Thank you for all the kind words of support last week. I'll definitely keep you updated on what goes on.
It has been annoying being without internet these days. To keep from being bored, I have been watching a lot of movies.
One of my favorite films since high school has been
Rebel Without a Cause
This is a film you simply have to see at least once. There are no excuses.
While James Dean arguably has the most interesting life story in Hollywood history, I'm going to skip him and focus instead on his co-star, Sal Mineo. Because Sal has quite a disturbing tale of his own.
Sal played the troubled and homosexually-charged best friend to James Dean's character in the film.
Born to Italian casket-makers in The Bronx, he grew up in a rough neighborhood. By the time he was 8-years-old, he was the member of a much-feared street gang. After being arrested for robbery at age 10, his exasperated mother gave him a choice: go to juvie or go to acting school. Obviously, Sal chose the latter.
As a teenager during the 1950s, Sal broke into showbiz and made a few good films. But then Rebel Without a Cause came along. The film changed his life.
Sal soon found himself an international teenage heartthrob. He received more than 2,000 fan letters from adoring teenage girls every day. He basked in his newfound fame and couldn't believe his luck.
He milked his "troubled teen" image and played the same type of character in every movie offered to him. He even released an album of love songs, which did pretty well on the top 40 charts. He spent money like a billionaire, buying extremely lavish gifts for all his friends. He showed up to all the hottest parties with a bevvy of gorgeous starlets on each arm.
It was a dream life. But he was about to wake up.
When the 1960s came along, a grown-up Sal suddenly found himself unwanted. His teenage fans were now in their 20s and they were starting families and pursuing careers, rather than fawning over him. A new crop of teenagers, obsessed with the Beatles, had emerged. The innocence and charm of the 1950s were dead, and Sal was a leftover from a forgotten generation.
In his late 20s, he was no longer famous and completely broke.
He desperately tried to revive his career to no avail. He even camped out on Francis Ford Coppola's front lawn to earn a part in The Godfather, but it didn't work.
In the late 1960s, the bankrupt Sal shocked the world by revealing he was gay. It caused quite a stir, since coming out in Hollywood was unheard of at the time.
But even that publicity couldn't get him in films again.
In 1971, Sal humbly had his boyfriend call his old Hollywood buddies and beg them to reimburse him for the gifts he so generously gave them during his prime. Luckily for Sal, his friends were more than willing to help out. They gave him money to get back on his feet.
In the mid-70s, Sal began guest-starring on television shows.
He then snagged a role as a bisexual burglar in a stage play in Los Angeles in 1975.
The night before the play was supposed to open, Sal was found stabbed to death in front of his apartment in Hollywood. He was only 37 years old.
The police were baffled when they arrived on the scene, because Sal's wallet was not missing, which indicated he was not mugged. So, the police quickly assumed it had to be a gay thing, because, that's what they do, right?
Sal's murder stunned the world and created a media frenzy. All around the world, tabloids and gossip columnists speculated that Sal had been involved in a drug ring or perhaps rejoined his gang roots or he participated in sadistic homosexual rituals. What else could have led to his demise?
The mystery was so disturbing that even John Lennon put up a $100,000 reward for anyone who captured Sal's killer.
Four years later, the world learned the truth.
After a long investigation, a pizza deliveryman was arrested for the crime in 1979. The man had tried to rob Sal, but panicked when he heard a noise and stabbed him with a knife instead. He had no idea he had murdered a celebrity.
The murderer was given a life sentence but paroled in the early 90s. He was imprisoned again for another crime shortly afterwards.
Coincidentally, I learned that James Franco has directed a
about Sal, which is coming out this year.
Will you see it?

As far as I can tell, the lesson of Great Depression II seems to be that when our stream of fake money dries up, and we are reduced to spending 93% of our income rather than 115% of our income, we mostly go back to buying things we want rather than things we feel obligated to buy.
When we had a bottomless supply of free credit, it was hard to say no to that vacation other people wanted you to take or to the social pressure to have a nice car for yourself and a sprawling campus for your tech company. Now that we have limits to what we can be expected to spend, we get to act on our values. I get the vibe that, for some people, it's a relief to be allowed to say no again. (Of course, only for people who haven't been hit to the degree where they can't pay their bills. The flip side is that lots of people are getting randomly screwed, too.)
On a macro level, we get to see what it is that some people were buying more because they felt they should, not because they really wanted to. Apparently, new cars. Maybe, new houses. Stocks. Mass-produced short-life-span consumer goods. Possibly flat screen TV's, it's hard to tell. And apparently, corporate conventions and travel (probably the least surprising at all to anyone who's ever attended a company off-site.)
On the other hand, bike stores and craft shops are apparently poised to do quite well.
I notice I'm doing the same thing, unapologetically. With the uncertainty of our business income, I've curtailed my spending on things that don't really bring me joy — like car ownership, large retail stores, traveling more often than every 2 or 3 months, poorly made household items, and eating at restaurants that don't interest me but I feel are professionally important for me to know.
More fun is making the mental list of what spending does bring me joy, that I now get to make as priorities in my personal budget. For me, those are:
* traditionally raised and crafted food (of course)
* handmade sundries like soap and toothpaste, free of weird chemicals (am having a difficult finding this)
* bicycle transportation
* music and books, preferably content-only like MP3s, blogs and Kindle, minimal need for fixed media (except for the romance of vinyl, natch)
* living in a great neighborhood
* well-made wine, particularly from terroir I know and like
* pretty much anything made by my friends and neighbors
Fortunately, this is a pretty good neighborhood for almost all these things, and for many others. Now we just need to get someone to open a general store featuring produce from local farms and sundries from local craftspeople, and we'll be all set.
