"A Ceaseless Torrent of Music": December '00 American History Feature
Modern presidential campaigns are routinely criticized for presenting more style than substance. It's nothing new. Take, for example, the 1840 campaign, which pitted Old Tip against Sweet Sandy Whiskers and was often waged with song.
by David E. Johnson
I'll sing you now a new Whig song,
Made to a good old rhyme,
Of a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time;
By birth and blood, by kith and kin,
A sound, true Whig was he,
For his father signed the charter
That made our country free.
Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
The "fine, true-hearted gentleman" saluted in the song was General William Henry Harrison, "Old Tippecanoe," the Whig party's nominee for president of the United States in 1840. His opponent was the incumbent, Martin Van Buren. The lyric "I'll sing you now a new Whig song" was no idle promise. For while music had always played a role in political campaigns, this campaign produced "song after song in which truth was second to sense, and both were second to rhyme." During this singing campaign, issues took such a back seat to images that the year's electioneering produced, in the words of historian Richard S. Elliot, "a landmark in the carnivalization of American politics."
Make way for Old Tip, turn out, turn out,
make way for Old Tip, turn out!
'Tis the people's decree, Their choice he shall be,
So Martin Van Buren, turn out, turn out,
So Martin Van Buren, turn out!
President Martin Van Buren faced some serious reelection challenges. A Depression–the Panic of 1837–had sent prices soaring, ruined banks, and filled poorhouses. In addition, Van Buren suffered from generally unfavorable comparisons with his popular predecessor, Andrew Jackson. Yet Van Buren was not facing an imposing opponent. General William Henry Harrison was nearly 68 years old, had a checkered military and political career, and had been one of three candidates Van Buren defeated in 1836. Furthermore, Harrison had no discernible stand on any issue, while Van Buren's well-organized Democratic Party had clear positions on hotly debated issues such as the Bank of the United States, the tariff, and internal improvements. With the still-popular Andrew Jackson championing his successor, the Democrats felt confident about the election. An opening salvo from the floor of the House of Representatives, however, quickly dampened that confidence and sounded the tone of the upcoming campaign.
No ruffled shirt, no silken hose,
No airs does Tip display.
But like the "pith of worth" he goes
In homespun hodding gray.
On April 14, 1840, as the House considered the appropriation of $3,665 for landscaping the grounds and repairing the White House furniture, Representative Charles Ogle of Pennsylvania took the floor to catalog the alleged effeminate tastes and monarchical leanings of the president some Whigs called "Sweet Sandy Whiskers." Ogle brought his listeners on an imaginary stroll through the "Presidential Palace," a building "adorned with regal splendor far above any of the grand saloons at Buckingham Palace, Carlton House, or Windsor Castle." At dinner, one would see a "massive gold plate and French sterling silver services . . . gilded French plateaus . . . and gaudy artificial flowers." The fare was not "those old and unfashionable dishes . . . fried meat and gravy," but a five-course French meal. "How," Ogle sneered, "would a plain, frank, intelligent, republican farmer feel . . . if he were caught at a table like that?" In one speech, Charles Ogle had fixed in the public's mind the image of Martin Van Buren as an aristocratic dandy housed in palatial splendor. He also provided Whig songwriters a rich source for musical allusions.
Old Tip he wears a homespun coat
He has no ruffled shirt-wirt-wirt.
But Mat he has a golden plate
And he's a little squirt-wirt-wirt.
The Whig's nominee was hardly the homespun farmer in buckskin his proponents portrayed. Son of Declaration of Independence signer Benjamin Harrison, William Henry Harrison was born in a three-story brick mansion in Charles County, Virginia, in 1773. He joined the infantry in 1791 and was posted to Ohio where he involved himself in the politics of the Northwest Territory. Following his army career, he was appointed governor of the Indian Territory with full authority to negotiate and conclude treaties with the Indians. Harrison established his fame when he fought the forces of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh at the Battle of Tippecanoe on November 7, 1811. The battle, in which 188 Americans and an unknown number of Indians were killed or wounded, accomplished little and drove the Indians into an alliance with the British. Harrison was nonetheless heralded as a hero and named supreme commander in the Northwest.
After the War of 1812 Harrison had a steady if unspectacular political career, with service in the House of Representatives, Senate, and diplomatic corps. New York political boss Thurlow Weed took on Harrison's political fortunes after the 1836 election and managed his upset nomination over Henry Clay and Daniel Webster in 1840. The ticket was completed, and a slogan born, with the nomination of former Democrat John Tyler of Virginia for vice president. It was now "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too."
While the Democrats adopted a platform denouncing federal assumption of state debts, opposing internal improvements, and calling for separation of public money from banking institutions, Weed decided to keep Harrison quiet and emphasize his war-hero record and humble character.
The Democrats took aim at Harrison's silence, calling him "General Mum." Yet when they went after Harrison's character, their attacks rebounded in a spectacular fashion. "Give him a barrel of hard cider and a pension of two thousand a year," the Baltimore Republican said of Harrison, "and, our word for it, he will sit the remainder of his days in a log cabin . . . and study moral philosophy." The attack delighted Democratic editors across the nation, and they reprinted the hard cider/log cabin joke in their newspapers. Their joy was short-lived. Whigs quickly jumped at the chance to compare Harrison's hard cider and log cabin to Van Buren's Madeira and mansion. Horace Greeley, a Weed protégé and future newspaper editor, seized upon the symbolism and begin a campaign paper entitled Log Cabin. On the back page were lyrics, often penned by Greeley, to be sung to the tunes of popular melodies.
Let Van from his coolers of silver drink wine,
And lounge on his cushioned settee,
Our man on a buckeye bench can recline,
Content with hard cider is he.
Oh where, tell me where, was your Buckeye cabin made?
Oh where, tell me where, was your Buckeye cabin made?
T'was built among the merry boys
That wield the plow and spade,
Where the Log Cabins stand in the bonnie Buckeye shade.
The Log Cabin sold some 80,000 copies each week, and the New York Times called it "the most effective campaign paper ever printed." "Our songs are doing more good than anything else," Greeley wrote Weed. Recognizing what he had wrought, Greeley expanded the song sheet into the Log Cabin SongBook. Included was the battle hymn of the campaign, "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too," along with "Buckeye Cabin," "The Soldier of Tippecanoe," "The Flag of Tippecanoe," and "A Tip-Top Song About Tippecanoe." In Illinois a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln took over direction of the "Old Soldier" campaign sheet, complete with musical scores. Singing groups such as the "Tippecanoe Glee Club" and "Tippecanoe Boys" and solo acts such as the famed "Titus of Toledo" began headlining rallies with their renditions of the Log Cabin songs. Democratic Senator Thomas Hart Benton dismissed these antics as "doggerel ballads," but Greeley wisely observed that "people like the swing of the music."
"We could meet the Whigs on the field of argument and beat them without effort," the New York Evening Post cried, "but when they lay down the weapons of argument and attack us with musical notes, what can we do?" Some Democrats recalled an earlier campaign in which the homespun hero, General Andrew Jackson, had been their candidate, and the dandied incumbent was John Quincy Adams. That recollection led the Democratic Review to lament: "We have taught them how to conquer us."
When Martin was housed like a chattel,
opposed to the war as you know,
Our hero was foremost in battle,
and conquered at Tippecanoe.
"We are far ahead in singing and in electioneering emblems," Greeley wrote. His efforts produced other campaign papers: the Flail in Vermont, Old Tip's Broom in Ohio, the Pilot in Baltimore, and the Hard Cider Press in Chicago. These penny newspapers contained not only songs but anecdotes and campaign updates as well. In addition, those so inclined could purchase Harrison and Tyler neckties, "Tippecanoe tobacco," "Tippecanoe shaving soap," and buttons and ribbons. Farmers gained local press coverage by naming their horses "Tip" and "Ty." One couple in Cincinnati baptized their twins "Harrison" and "Tyler." Another proud mother named her newborn triplets "William," "Henry," and "Harrison."
The beautiful girls, God bless their souls,
Souls, souls, the country through
Will all, to a man, do all they can
For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.
"Old Cabin Whiskey," sold in cabin-shaped bottles, became the drink of choice among Harrison activists. Its distiller, E.C. Booz of Philadelphia, added the term "booze" to posterity. The songs, campaign paraphernalia, and cider went on display at rallies where, even Democrats were forced to concede, "acres of men" showed up to support Harrison. The rallies were part entertainment, part patriotic celebration, and part pep rally. One placard advised the public that "the vocalist, Mr. J. Brown, recently arrived from a southern tour, will sing several celebrated, bang-up Tippecanoe songs!"
In "ole Kentuck" the people say,
That Matty Van has had his day,
And that old Tip he is the man
To rout him out with all his clan.
Then haste and turn out, old men, young men,
Haste and turn out, new men, true men.
Vote for Harrison.
"Some of the songs I shall never forget," a Democratic editor moaned; "they rang in my ears wherever I went, morning, noon and night . . . it was a ceaseless torrent of music."
AS IF THE CAMPAIGN needed another novelty, Whig supporters started rolling huge paper or tin balls printed with campaign slogans from town to town as part of parades and rallies. The idea owed its inspiration to remarks made by Democratic Senator Thomas Hart Benton when the Senate officially expunged its censure of President Jackson in 1837. (The Senate had passed the censure resolution in 1834 after Jackson removed federal deposits from the Bank of the United States.) Although he had once shot Jackson in a gunfight, Benton fought stubbornly to remove the taint of censure from the president's record. "Solitary and alone," Benton said, "I set this ball in motion." Now the Whigs rolled it back on Benton and Van Buren.
What has caused the great commotion, motion, motion,
Our country through?
It's the ball a rolling on, on.
For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too. Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.
And with them we'll beat little Van, Van, Van.
Van is a used up man.
And with them we'll beat little Van.
"Keep the ball rolling" survived the campaign to become a common American expression.
While balls rolled and cider flowed, issues were largely forgotten. Van Buren made an effort to interject a reasoned discussion of the bank, the tariff, and internal improvements, but he was shouted down by the Whig press. "Wherever you find a bitter, blasphemous atheist," Horace Greeley thundered, "there you may be certain of one vote for Van Buren." Oversimplification was in order. "Take Harrison and good," the Political Tornado advised, "or reject him for Van Buren and evil."
In September the Whigs received the first solid indication that their tactics were working, when Maine held early elections and chose a Whig governor and a Harrison and Tyler electoral slate.
And have you heard the news from Maine
and what old Maine can do?
She went hell bent for Governor Kent
and Tippecanoe and Tyler, too,
and Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.
The Democrats now realized they must respond in kind to the hard cider/log cabin campaign. Their songs attacked Harrison as "General Mum . . . whose fame is like his fav'rite drum; which when most empty makes most noise." Campaign sheets attacked Harrison as a "sham hero," an addict of profanity, and "Old Tip-ler." By spelling Harrison's name backwards, the Democrats urged voters to say "No sirrah" to the Whigs. More temperate voters sang,
Hush-a-bye, baby;
Daddy's a Whig.
Before he comes home,
Hard cider he'll swig;
Then he'll be Tipsy and over he'll fall;
Down will come Daddy,
Tip, Tyler, and all.
Songs now heralded Van Buren for his "firmness and honesty" and "measures considered, approved and . . . sealed by the hard fisted yeoman that toils in the field." Van Buren's nickname, "Old Kinderhook," led supporters to coin the phrase "O.K." to affirm their candidate. Vice President Richard M. Johnson raised his war hero record–it was his forces that had actually killed Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames two years after Tippecanoe–by using the slogan, "Rumpsey, Dumpsey, Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh." Observing the increased activity of the Democrats, Harrison wrote, "[T]he exertion of our opponents . . . chiefly rely upon the destruction of my character, military and private . . . ."
Harrison need not have concerned himself. In November he received 234 electoral votes to Van Buren's 60 and had a popular vote majority of 52.8 percent to 46.8 percent. The old general had been "sung into the Presidency," wrote diarist Philip Hone of New York City. Whig stalwarts Henry Clay and Daniel Webster could rejoice in the victory but take no credit for it. Log cabins, hard cider, rolling balls, and songs had ended 12 years of Democratic Party rule and won the Whigs their first presidential election.
From Mississippi's utmost shore,
To cold New Hampshire piney hills;
From broad Atlantic's sullen roar
To where the Western ocean swells–
How loud the notes of joy arise
From every bosom warm and free!
How strains triumphant fill the skies,
For Harrison and Liberty.
The Whigs' victory, however, would prove ephemeral. One month after he was inaugurated, President William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia. Vice President John Tyler became president and swiftly returned to his Democratic Party roots. "No one ever thought of his being placed in the executive chair," John Quincy Adams confided to his diary. Tyler's administration differed very little from that of Jackson and Van Buren as he vetoed measures at the heart of the "American System" that Whig leaders had hoped to promote through Harrison. Four years later, Henry Clay regained leadership of the Whig party and went down in defeat at the hands of James K. Polk, an ally of Jackson and Van Buren.
While the 1840 Whig campaign did not have a long-range effect on public policy, the songs left an echo. The cynicism bred from a campaign based upon emotion and propaganda rears its head every four years as the major political parties unleash presidential campaigns in which style trumps substance and slogans override issues.

Yesterday I bought a map stamp for the map CP_Steel, but when I visited that map I didn't see any special hat effect.
I am not sure the effect is visible if you stand still or if you taunt. You have probably to move to see the particle effect of World's Traveler hat.
Try to play on CP_Steel on a server with replay available, save one replay and verify if the particle for your hat is visible. As soon as I arrive home I will try and confirm that.
You can hardly see the unusual effect, as Valve would not give you a normal unusual for 69p. Try moving around and looking very closely. They are tiny white bits coming out of the front of the hat. Also, you need to be on CP_Steel for the unusual effect to show.

3 How fast will Boston dump bumbling Grady Little?
1 Red Sox "Curses": No, just really dumb managing moves
2 "Separation Saturday": Great, now only 1-loss leftovers
3 Steve Bartman: Really, you're still using that joke?
With the Marlins' already-sketchy pitching rotation in disarray after the NLCS, New York will outrun Florida in high-scoring games.
Yankees in 5.

Meanwhile, want to fake you are up to speed on college hoops
(even though you don't pay attention until baseball is over)? Just say: "Gosh, UConn looks loaded," then sidle away.

Hello, Twice this month, my 847 locked up. It's very strange, and happens randomly. The radio was working just fine when it was turn off, but was locked up when I turned it on the next time to use it. The front panel keypad is almost all locked out (frozen), but not all, as some buttons respond I.e.. mode and few others. Unfortunately, the Menu button is frozen also, so I can't reset the radio from the Menu. Also, the radio is locked in the TX position. The only way to normalize the radio is to hard reset it from the inside. I use this radio as a back up, and mainly 6M and Satellite. It's 90 % in the satellite mode, and I'm certain it was in Satellite mode both times it locked up. Also, I don't use the packet or CAT connectors. I don't know if there is a relation there. This is puzzling, and Tech support could not help. Has anyone seen this? Any hints, ideas, etc will be greatly appreciated. 73s Saad N5FF ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA. To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe amsat-bb" to email@example.com

I love reading, expanding my vocabulary, and incorporating newly learned words into casual conversation. I have worked with high school and elementary school students, and am good at adapting to the age group I am working with.
I believe extensive feedback is of the utmost importance for young people trying to learn difficult subjects, and I push my students to succeed while accommodating their needs. I also believe effective teaching is a two way street, and the key to self-reliance. I expect to learn as much from my students as they learn from me, with the end goal that they will eventually pass me.

Like the movie business, powerful cars, or the Lakers, Mexican food is a topic on which Angelenos hold passionate opinions. (For example, check out this thread by self-proclaimed "heavyweights" on the dining site Chowhound). While some of most highly-lauded places are accessible by car, downtown and the subway will serve you very well on your quest for the ideal taco -- if you know where to look.If you're pressed for time and can't leave the convention center, there's a serviceable Mexican food window in the South Hall. But you if you head north only a few blocks, there's Ciudad, located in a roomy space full of splashy art, and serving pan-Latin food distilled through the sensibility of an American culinary academy. It's a bit pricey, so maybe stop in to try it during happy hour, where you can get 2 tacos, a margarita, or a beer for $4 each. For a very different kind of experience, stroll over to the bazaar and food court known as the Grand Central Market – the sawdust on the floor should tell you all you need to know about ambience. But as for food, the crisp, smoky meat in the tacos at Ana Maria's will make you glad you made the trudge. In contrast, a highly touristy experience awaits you at Olvera Street, the site of the original settlement known as "Los Angeles," back when the town consisted of 44 people in 1781. Today there are a lot of tchochkes and tourist traps – but also some gems. La Luz Del Dia will make you a mean combo plate for about $6. And Mr. Churro offers a fine version of the Mexican dessert after which it's named: it's basically the equivalent of a long, pointy donut, filled with either strawberry, caramel, or custard cream. For a more refined take on Mexican cuisine, hop the subway to Chichen Itza in Koreatown, which serves the blend of Spanish, Mayan, and Lebanese food native to the Yucatan. Unlike the corner taqueria, Chichen Itza features a variety of salads and meats flavored with sour orange juice and the Aztec spice known as epazote. You could also head over to the Oaxacan oasis known as Guelaguetza, where the creamy, slightly sweet sauce known as mole flavors everything from tender roast chicken to the tortilla chips. They also make delicious roast meats.If you prefer some well-dressed young people with your Oaxacan food, truck on over to the brand-new Hollywood location of Loteria Grill. You can order your taco, burrito, tostada, or soup with one of their rich, spicy sauces that'll make you wonder how you lived without it before now.
Ciudad (at 5th and Figueroa; easily walkable from Convention Center or downtown hotels; entrees $16-29)
Grand Central Market (take the red line to Pershing Square or walk from downtown hotels) Ana Maria's (carnitas tacos $2);
Olvera Street (take the red line to Union Station, and head across the street; or take the DASH bus, route B) La Luz Del Dia (combos at about $6); Mr. Churro ($3/churro)
Chichen Itza (Purple line to Westlake/MacArthur Park, walk 1 block north to 6th, turn left, and head to 2501 W. 6th St., entrees $14-28)
Guelaguetza (Purple line to Wilshire and Normandie, walk two blocks south on Irolo St. to 3337 8th street; entrees $10-16)Loteria Grill (Red line to Hollywood & Highland, walk three blocks east to 6627 Hollywood; tacos $3-4; burritos $8-9).

Inspiration Next Door: Neighbor's Cacti Garden
Inspiration can come from anywhere...sometimes literally next door. Our neighbor Bill has spent years tending to a marvelous cactus garden on a south facing irregularly shaped plot of land which he's transformed into a xeriscaped shangri-la. Because it's located high above the sidewalk, most everyone doesn't even notice it's there. But take a step upward and you're treated to a blooming garden of flowering succulents and cactus that has inspired us to follow his footsteps in our front yard section...
Our neighbor has always been supportive and helpful when discussing gardening, going as far to offer some cuttings from his own garden so we can transplant some of that garden goodness to our once bleak front yard of our apartment. We hope in a few years we too can proudly showcase something so impressive (and water conscious) as his garden. For now, we just walk around the corner and we're reminded that a little patience and a lot of hard work can result in something so beautiful, even when you're "just renting".

Really proud to announce that our site redesign of Obox Themes is live.
Some pages that I am really proud of include:
Business landing page
We rented out a drone and flew over our beautiful city during sunrise in order to capture an awesome background video that would depict a 'business' type environment.
Business page
Social Commerce
Just love the colors that we used on this page, the icons were also custom designed to suit the theme.
Social Commerce page
Themes page
WordPress is generally a bit of a boring industry so it's not the easiest thing to make WordPress theme pages look good. That being said, I really feel like this goes a long way to making them a bit more exciting.
I decided to animate the screenshot spread on :hover and use a combo of alternating layouts and colors. What I am most proud of though is the copy writing - especially compared to our old site which left much to be desired!
Theme page
Fun facts
- We had to take over 1100 screenshots for the new site
- All icons were custom designed, 97 made the cut and over 200 we discarded
- Work on the new site started 12 months ago!
Lastly, we made a little video explaining our thinking behind the site which you can view here.
Any and all feedback is always appreciated!

Finally I found a spare minute for a little home made avocado and coconut milk hair treatment. This amazingly fresh mix will revitalise tired, dry and weather beaten hair. I even made my own coconut milk!
So here it is, straight from my kitchen:
1 ripe avocado
1 glass of coconut milk
1 tbsp almond oil
Peel the lovely avocado, mince it and mix with the coconut milk and oil until the mixture is smooth. (I used my hand blender to bond all the ingredients to perfection.) Apply the mask onto your hair. Use (if you have) a wide tooth combs to spread the mixture evenly. Keep it on for about 45 minutes, or longer if you wish. Shampoo your hair well, condition if needed and enjoy your healthy hair!

Maybe you already high tea annually during the holidays, or maybe you're eager to try out this tradition. Either way, these spots offer both classic favorites and innovative twists that make for a festive — and filling! — holiday experience. Read on to find out where to enjoy holiday high tea in the Pacific Northwest.
The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia
Seeking a side of glamour and grandeur with your tea? This is the place. Right smack in the middle of downtown, with a view of Vancouver's skyline, the Fairmont's Nutcracker Tea (December 20 + 21; $64 per person, $27 for children) includes delicate honey yogurt panna cotta, curried chicken finger sandwiches, crab cakes, and a live pianist playing favorites from the score of the ballet. And while you enjoy a glass of port, Prosecco, or wine, kids are treated to the Prince or Princess tea service with bubblegum tea, scones, and Black Forest ham and cheddar sandwiches — all in a building that genuinely looks like a castle. Someone cue the sugarplum fairies!
Neverland Tea Salon, Vancouver, British Columbia
Neverland's whole vibe is about whimsy, accessibility, and excellence. Accordingly, the High Tea service respects some traditions (the tea tower, small portions) and upends others (servers wear jeans and t-shirts and sport a relaxed attitude). Also central to the Neverland experience: food worth eating. "We're not a place where the ambiance outshines what's being served," co-owner Terri Tatchell says. "Our food is actually worth indulging in." To that end, the Holiday High Tea (offered through December 31, at $38 per person) features flank steak on focaccia with green peppercorn aioli, an insane macadamia and salted caramel brownie, and gooey sticky toffee bread pudding with brandied caramel sauce. Pots of tea are never-ending, and Neverland takes gluten- and dairy-free options seriously. In fact, the special order towers so closely resemble the standard ones that customers often think their requests haven't been honored. "We want those with special needs to enjoy the full Neverland experience," explains Tatchell. So while the ingredients have been tweaked, the taste is just as dreamy.
The Butchart Gardens, Victoria, British Columbia
Here, the setting's the thing. There are 55 acres of lush gardens, plus the dining room is located in the Butchart family's Craftsman-style former residence. Admission tickets to the garden are required for tea, but they're worth it because they grant access to ice skating, strolling carolers, and a proper carousel. The traditional High Tea (served through December 22; $33.75 per person) features classics including egg salad sandwiches with watercress and Cornish pastry. But it's the Flavours of Christmas High Tea from December 22-27 ($39.50 per person, $18.95 for children) that really screams happy holidays. Heavy on regionally sourced items such as Salt Spring Island goat cheese brioche and a Dungeness crab salad sandwich, the festive high tea can also be paired with wines from three Vancouver Island wineries to make it a hyper-local experience. Pro tip: Make a late afternoon reservation for tea, but arrive early. That way, you get to appreciate the garden during daylight hours and also see it dressed up at night.

Good book deal
Posted by johnhattan, 22 March 2011 - · 198 views
Good deal today. O'Reilly has several good titles today. The good deal part is that they're giving all proceeds (minus author royalties, I'm sure that's a contractual thing) to Japanese disaster relief.
Couple of good looking titles there....

I bought 4 similar cotton cover coleman sleeping bags from Overstock and just loved them.Guests who have had the chance to sleep in them have wanted me to order them a bag but the bag is no longer in stock. I've been searching for like bags ever since and these bags are a close cousin. These bags are so cozy for kids and for people who like to use the bag interchangeably between bag and comforter. They are too bulky and heavy to hike with. I bought 6 bags this time around with no regrets.
Nice size, well made. Mine has received heavy use with no failures. Not for extreme low temps but other than that highly recommended.
I just got this bag today. Whipped open the box, untied the bag, and plopped right into it. Overall a great bag for a camp. PRO's- #1- The zipper has a red plastic guard on it for when you are zipping it up. Good idea for keeping the snaggle-monster from stopping you. #2- Good size. Roomy inside (I am 5'10" 185ish) and after a day in camp I know I would sleep soundly. #3- I liked the color cuz it made me feel a little old school. #4- Seems as if it had great loft to it. Good to create a thermal barrier when you are snoozin'. #5- Nice simple little pocket on the inside. Looks to be perfect for that iPhone. It would rest right by a teen's chest so all they could breathe in safety... ("Where's my phone!! How many likes are on my instagram pic!? I need to snapchat or I'll die!!) CON's- What was ok, but not great... I think my only 2 complaints are #1- The inside fabric was a little stiff and had a mechanical smell to it. Not a deal breaker by any means, but I am sure after a wash in the ole machine it will soften up and improve the smell. Maybe sitting on the clothes line will be good to air it out too. #2- I saw some reviews about the shoe string enclosures to keep it stored. Soo... Coleman missed the mark a little on it. The top of the bag (Where your head would be) has a fabric square attached to the bag. When rolling it up, that fabric piece will wrap around the bag, and on the ends are two strings to keep it together. I can see that the fabric or strings will not take much use. Good idea and Coleman gave 'er a try, but... oh well. Take 'er back to RnD fellas! I will most likely trim that off and get a simple cinch strap from *** ******** World famous ****. Those 2 things kept me from making it a 5. Wish they had a 4.5 star. I would buy this product again if I needed another. Hope I was helpful!
I'm always on the look out for sleeping bags with cloth covering on the outside-not the shiny slippery stuff-so I was glad to find this sleeping bag! Living in Nevada we don't have need of a truly cold-weather sleeping bag, so it's perfect for us!
- How accurate was the sizing? It's a tad smaller than I thought it would be compared to my other "big and tall" sleeping bag
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Not as warm as I expected, but still adequate. Good zipper.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
Bought this for hubby's winter desert hunting trip, no tent or camper, sleeping under the stars. He was impressed with the size, warmth and softness. The bag has little toggles along the side that help keep it together for rolling it up, they were a little stiff and hard to get open. I couldn't get the bag rolled up tight enough for the attached cover to go all the way around but we don't sweat that as we store the bags in bigger bags. Definitely oversized. Would recommend and buy again.
We use these in our Rv in the winter, definitely not in the summer, they are so warm, even in the coldest temperature. don't even need another blanket for extra warmth, we love them

You'll Be Amazed and Shocked by These 19 Facts About Japan
The Imperial Family, officially known as the Imperial House of Japan, is the extended family of the reigning Emperor of Japan. They take on the official and public duties of the government. Other family members of the Emperor perform social and civil duties unrelated to the governmental affairs. The duties of the Emperor are passed down to his children and their children and so on.
The Japanese monarchy is the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in the world. The current Japanese monarchy began with the legendary Emperor Jimmu in 660 BC. Since then there have been 124 recognized monarchs, including the current reigning emperor. However, there isn't any actual genealogical evidence of relationships or even the existence evident of the first 25 emperors.
The current emperor is Emperor Akihito who has reigned since 1989. The succeeding emperor is based on birth order of boys. Akihito was the eldest of 5 boys and succeeded his father, Hirohito.
The Curse of the Colonel, as it's called, is an urban legend that KFC founder Colonel Sanders placed a curse on the Japanese Kansai-based Hanshin Tigers baseball team. The curse was apparently placed on the team because the Colonel was angry that one of his storefront statues was mistreated.
The Hanshin Tigers are considered the permanent underdogs of Nippon Professional Baseball, but fans still always flock to the stadium. The Tigers have only won one championship, in 1985. That was the year the curse was cast. Apparently the team were so excited over their win that they tossed a statue of Colonel Sanders into a river. It's been said that they would never win another championship until the statue was recovered.
When Emperor Hirohito broadcast his surrender order to the Japanese people on August 14, 1945, almost no one could understand his dialect.
The "Jewel Voice Broadcast" was the radio broadcast during World War II in which Japanese Emperor Hirohito announced to the Japanese people that the government had decided to surrender. The announcement came following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the declaration of war against Japan by the Soviet Union.
The speech was notable for a few reasons, one being that it was the first time in history that an Emperor of Japan had spoken directly to the common people.
The problem was that almost none of them could understand it. The reason why is because he was speaking in a style of Classical Japanese that few ordinary people knew. In addition, he didn't outright say "Japan has surrendered," but that the government was accepting the terms of the Potsdam Declaration.
This made many people unsure if Japan had surrendered or not. The poor audio quality also added to the confusion. In the end, someone had to translate for the emperor to make it clear.
They get square watermelons by growing them inside of square glass cases. That way they can fit easily into an overcrowded refrigerator, and you can stack things on them.
Square watermelons are expensive though (10,000 yen or about $82). Compare that to regular round watermelons which cost about $15-20 in Japan.
The square boxes they're grown in are the exact dimensions of Japanese refrigerators, which means they fit perfectly. At $82 each, these square watermelons probably wouldn't be too popular in the United States. Our solution for a lack of refrigerator space? Smaller, seedless watermelons.
Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, somewhere around 7th or 9th highest in the world in the last few years. It's widely considered a national issue, because it's the leading cause of death among men aged 20 to 44.
It doesn't help that culturally, suicide is considered a morally responsible action in certain cases. The economy, depression and social pressure are some of the highest reasons for suicide. 71% of suicides were male in 2006.
Jumping in front of a train is a popular way to end your life in Japan. It's considered to be practical and nuisance free to the person's family. However, it isn't for the train companies. A person committing suicide can slow down traffic for a few hours.
To dissuade people from doing this, train companies have begun implementing certain measures to lower the number of suicides. One is fining the decesed family members. They can be charged up to 1 million yen, or $12,000. They've also begun installing blue LEDs in stations, which can have a claming effect on jumpers. Another method they've begun testing is having station doors that contain people until the train arrives.
They call it Bagel Head, and it's exactly what it sounds like. A technician injects saline solution into your forehead, then presses his or her thumb in the middle to make the bump look like a bagel. The transformation is only temporary, as your body absorbs the saline solution.

Curry is one of the most popular dishes in Japan today. Most commonly it is served in three main forms: curry rice, thick noodles, and kare-pan. Curry rice is typically what is called curry. Japanese curry utilizes many different vegetables and meats. The base curry vegetables are onions, carrots, and potatoes.
The base meats most often used are beef, pork, and chicken. Curry was first introduced to Japan during the Meiji era, which lasted from 1868 to 1912. The British, who then had India under their administration, first brought the dish over. The dish became popular very quickly as a "western" food, and by the 1960s it became so popular that it was available for purchase in supermarkets and restaurants.
Today, it has been so widely consumed that it is considered a national dish. It's since spread to South Korea, which happened during the period of time that Korea was under Japanese rule in the early 20th century. Most Japanese restaurants in South Korea serve curry. So prevalent is Japanese curry today that if you have a local Asian supermarket, you can no doubt find some instant curry there.
A 1930 federal U.S. law was passed that prohibits importing goods made by prison labor. However, the reverse is not true. Oregon built a 47,000 square foot facility to begin making jeans and exporting them to other countries. The brand, Prison Blues, is made by prisoners in the Oregon penitentiary system.
The prisoners have to fill out an application and go through an interview before they are hired. In 1997, Oregon made it a law that every prisoner had to have a job. At Prison Blues, prisoners are paid between six and eight dollars an hour.
The program has been criticized, but ultimately it has grown into a strong business. Prisoners who get in trouble while at work or are fired aren't punished beyond that within the prison. Much of the money they make goes toward room and board, as well as restitution.
The jeans have grown into an entire apparel line. They've become quite popular in Japan and are sold in 250 stores in the U.S. They are also sold in Italy and Germany.
Pizza is a favorite food for people all over the globe, but each country has their own way of making their pizza a little snazzier. While people from the United States prefer pepperoni or sausage, people from different countries don't shy away from making very different topping choices.
One of the most interesting and specified topping choices is from Japan. In Japan, they love to add eels to their pizza, and another seafood: squid! You might also find a little Mayo Jaga on their pizza, which is a mix of mayonnaise, potatoes, and bacon. Here are some other interesting topping choices from other countries:
- If you want a pizza that tastes like a barbecue try the Outback. In Australia, a favorite pizza choice is shrimp, pineapple, and barbecue sauce. It would make for a very sweet and salty pizza!
- Another really interesting topping choice comes from Pakistan where curry is often added to pizza. For a unique flavor and break from monotony, curry would make a nice, and possibly spicy, addition to a pizza.
- And, finally, if you're looking to be healthy, look no further than Brazil. In Brazil, rather than heavy meats or greasy bacon, they add green peas. Picture:
Called Hayabusa (meaning Peregrine Falcon), the unmanned Japanese spacecraft was launched on 9 May 2003. Developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), its goal was to return a sample from a small asteroid called 25143 Itokawa near Earth. It only took two years for Hayabusa to reach Itokawa.
When it arrived in mid September 2005, it studied the asteroid's shape, spin, topography, color, composition, density, and history. It was two months before it actually landed on the asteroid and gathered samples, though. It took five years for it to return to Earth, though. It didn't reenter until 13 June 2010.
Hayabusa wasn't the first successful visit to an asteroid, but it was the first to return to Earth with samples. Galileo and NEAR Shoemaker (both by NASA) had visited asteroids before. Hayabusa was also the first spacecraft designed to land on an asteroid and take off again. Though it was intended to only be a brief landing, Hayabusa sat on the surface of the asteroid for 30 minutes.
Sokushinbutsu were Buddhist monks who caused their own deaths in a way that resulted in their mummification. If is believed that many monks in northern Japan attempted the act, but only between 16 and 24 mummifications have been discovered to date.
For 1000 days, a monk would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts and seeds while taking part in a rigorous physical regimen; this stripped him of his body fat. For another 1000 days, he ate only bark and root and began drinking a poisonous tea which caused vomiting, a rapid loss of bodily fluids, and made the body too poisonous to be eaten by maggots.
Finally, he would lock himself in a stone tomb no larger than his body where he would not budge from the lotus position. There was a bell within the tomb, and ringing it would alert everyone outside that the monk was still alive. Once the bell stopped ringing however, the tomb would be sealed.
The other monks would wait another 1000 days and open the tomb to see if the mummification was successful. If so, the monk was immediately seen as a Buddha and put in the temple for viewing. If not, he wasn't considered a Buddha but he was still admired for his dedication and spirit. Today, the practice has been outlawed by all Buddhist sects and the entire country of Japan.
The whole island of Hashima is an abandonded ghost town. Until 1974 the island was a coal mining facility bought by Mitsubishi in 1890. It now has huge concrete buildings that are completely abandoned now and a sea wall. They actually built Japan's first large concrete building with nine stories.
They also built a block of apartments in 1916 to house all the workers, most of whom were forcibly recruited from Asia. South Korea claims that there were 500 forced Korean workers between 1939 and 1945.
The 15 acre island reached its population peak in 1959 with 5,259 people. That translates about 216,264 people per square mile for the whole island. In the 1960s, petroleum took the place of coal mining on the island. Coal mines were shutting down all over the country in the 1960s.
Mitsubishi officially closed the mines in 1974 and the island became barren of people. Now it is justly called Ghost Island. After being closed for 35 years, travel was made possible to Hashima again in 2009. Today the island is becoming increasingly popular, especially with ruins enthusiasts.
The housing remnants represent the period between the Taisho era and the Showa era. The island hasn't been maintained, though, and some of the buildings have collapsed and others are about to collapse. Some exterior walls have been repaired recently, though.
This classic game was released by Taito to the unsuspecting Japanese public in 1978. The game had a simple premise: aliens were getting close to your planet, and you had to shoot them all before they reached you.
Space Invaders is considered one of the most influential games of all time, because it basically created the genre now known as "shooters," which are popular to this day. The game was so popular upon release, that Japan suffered a nation-wide shortage of 100-yen coins. In fact, they had to increase coin production to keep up with demand!
It was brought over to the US in 1980. By mid-1981, $1 billion of quarters had been gobbled up by the game. That number doubled by the end of 1982. This made it the highest grossing entertainment product ever at the time.
Shigeru Miyamoto, legendary creator of Mario and Zelda, considers Space Invaders a revolutionary game in the industry, because it generated a level of interest for videogames that wasn't there before.
What games would you consider revolutionary or influential in your life? Let us know in the comments!
To be fair, there are the Japan Self-Defense Forces, but those forces are only used for peacekeeping missions when deployed outside of Japan. Officially, the country has no military.
Especially if you live in the United States, a country that spent between 1 and 1.4 trillion dollars on its military this year, this idea might seem really strange. Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution elaborates on the decision:
ARTICLE 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
Italy has a similar clause in its constitution, but reserves the right to self defense in the event of an attack. You might be wondering how effective such a clause would be if Japan were ever attacked. Since World War II, shortly before the constitution was adopted, Japan has not gone to war or had the incentive to.
That means for 65 years, Japan has proven that a military isn't always necessary for settling international disputes. What's interesting, though, is that Japan still allows other countries to have military bases on their soil. Japan is not unique in its lack of military. For the full list, check here.
A struggling comedian, Nasubi, in Japan went to a casting call for a type of TV show. He was told that he had to live in an empty apartment filling out and sending in magazine sweepstakes cards.
Once he won $10,000 worth of sweepstakes, he would win the show and they would air a segment of it on TV giving Nasubi more fame. Instead, they stripped him naked and locked him in an apartment furnished with pens, a cushion, a coffee table, and postcards.
It took Nasubi 2 weeks to win his first prize, a jar of jelly! He later was able to win a bag of rice, but had nothing to cook it in. He ended up putting water in a can and some rice in it and cooked it next to the stove burner. He ate ½ a cup of rice a day. He lost a lot of weight and the network aired the highlights of each week in an hour segment on Sunday nights without Nasubi's knowledge.
After 10 months, Nasubi won a bag of toilet paper. He also won a TV, a bike, a tent, and more food. It took him 10 months to reach $10,000 in prizes. Instead of ending the game, the network flew him to Korea where he had to the same thing until he made enough in prizes to buy his airplane ticket back to Japan!
Finally, after another 5 months he was able to make it back to Japan. Nasubi spent 15 months butt naked and in complete isolation. It was finally revealed to him that they'd been broadcasting his situation the whole time.
He had become a hot celebrity and made a lot of money during the show from his journal that was made into a book, a noodle commercial made from footage of him eating, and more.
If this sounds extremely strange, that's because it is, at least for western culture. Know as the "Sound Princess" when translated into English, this device was first introduced in the 80's and has since spread to almost every public women's rest room in Japan.
Why exactly is this necessary? Many Japanese women are self-conscious of being heard going to the bathroom by other women so they would flush continuously. This action wasted such copious amounts of water that it became a problem.
Instead, the Water Princess was introduced to save water. When a button on the Sound Princess is touched, a loud artificial flushing noise will be made.
Estimates say that up to 20 liters of water are saved each time the device is used. Even so, many women believe it sounds too artificial and like the good old natural sound of a flushing toilette.
Hiroshima was an event that left both the emotional shadows of tragedy and also permanent physical shadows on the landscape of Hiroshima, Japan. These shadows were created by the great force of the nuclear weapon.
Thermal radiation travels in a straight line, which means that when it is blocked by an object it creates a shadow. These shadows still exist around Japan today. For example, the picture shows how a wheel blocked some of the radiation and created a shadow against the nearby wall.
This was a very common occurrence across Japan. Sometimes, there were shadows left of people, but no bodies found. This resulted from the extreme heat of the explosion which vaporized the bodies, leaving the shadows behind.
The shadows are a unique occurrence from the nuclear explosion and they remain even after many years. These shadows stand by as a reminder of a horrific moment in history. They serve as a reminder of the value of human life.
It's called Aokigahara, or the Sea of Trees and every year nearly 100 people hang themselves among its dense trees. The forest lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji and because the trees are so densely packed, there is a renowned absence of animals or wind, resulting in an eerie silence.
The forest has always been linked with demons and death throughout Japanese mythology. Every year, usually around March, people walk into the forest with a rope and little else to find a tree to end their life. The forest is so densely packed however, that the government has admitted there are most likely many bodies that are never found.
In 1960 the novel "Nami no Tō" consisted with two lovers ending their lives in the forest and ever since suicide rates have skyrocketed. The government has begun placing posters in both Japanese and English throughout the area urging people to reconsider; yet many do not. Every year the government sends a search body of police to find the hanging bodies and has ceased publishing the figure to deter others from following suit.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- "There was a person who had roots in both Muhlenberg and Ohio counties that was possibly involved in the trafficking crystal methamphetamine," said Curtis McGehee, Muhlenberg County Sheriff.
This person is Joseph Lee. Lee was arrested in early March.
"At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of twenty eight grams of crystal meth and also a convicted felon in possession of a fire arm. We seized approximately $8,000 dollars in cash," said Curtis McGehee, Muhlenberg County Sheriff.
Officers say Lee is from Chicago and has been known to swap fire arms for crystal methamphetamine.
"We are going to continue to investigate it because there are several people involved. It's not just Joseph Lee. Basically, there are several people, even while he as been in jail, that are conducting business as usual for him," said David Thompson, Ohio County Sheriff.
On March 27, Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department and K9 units, conducted a traffic stop. Police say the woman driving the vehicle was also from Chicago. Officers recovered cash, totaling $15,000.
"The money did seem to be contaminated because the dog did indicate there was something inside of the vehicle that was suspicious to him. The only thing we could find in the vehicle was the money. Then, we had two dogs to alert on the money, indicating it had connected possibly to drug activity," said Curtis McGehee, Muhlenberg County Sheriff.
No arrests were made Thursday, but officers say there will be zero tolerance for drug trafficking.
"Are we going to eliminate all drugs? No, but we are going to make it harder to do business and make it harder for our kids to have opportunity to get that stuff," said David Thompson, Ohio County Sheriff.
The Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force is collaborating with both sheriff's departments in this drug ring investigation.

I think so, but maybe we need one of the Canucks themselves to answer the question (by the way, Canuck isn't considered a derogitory term, is it? I've never gotten an answer to that question anywhere else...)
There were two chronic alcoholics, Joe and Charlie, that were best drinking buddies. Every night they would visit the same tavern and drink all night until they closed the place. One night, just before closingtime, the alcoholic that was slightly less inebriated than his friend noticed a foul odor in the room. He started sniffing to see if he could locate the origin of this smell. He sniffed left and right, up and down.He kept sniffing. Finally, he leaned over to his friend and took a deep whiff. Sure enough, this is where the odor was coming from.He leaned over to his friend who was 3 sheets to the wind and said, "Hey Joe, did you mess your pants?" Joe looked up, bleary eyed and responded, "Yup!" Charlie, looking shocked, whispered back, "Well, whydon't you go clean yourself up." Joe glanced up from his glass again and said, "Because I'm not through yet!" ^ A story of inspiration that we all can learn something from.
