Cover for KARLSTAD Armchair wide
Boss Petrol Polyester designed by Nevotex
About the product
Cover for IKEA KARLSTAD armchair - Boss Petrol. Blue is said to bring down blood pressure and slow respiration and heart rate. That is why it is considered calming, relaxing and serene, and it is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. Be careful, however: a pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it is on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you opt for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues for the furnishings and fabrics. To encourage relaxation in the social areas ( family rooms, living rooms, large kitchens) consider warmer blues, such as periwinkle, or bright blues, such as cerulean or turquoise. It is often used to make smaller rooms look more airy and larger. Blue is the color of Peace in Feng Shui. The fifth state is blue.
Please note this custom cover is tailored by CoverCouch to fit the IKEA KARLSTAD armchair model. Armchair is not included and is available at IKEA.

The two covers I bought for my Ektorp Tullsta chairs arrived this week and I couldn't be more pleased with them. They are a beautiful bright blue (Palermo Indigo) and are great quality. My old covers were a real pain to put on they were very tight. The Cover Couch ones was easy to put on. They are a great fit. I'm really delighted with them.
I have no clue!!!

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I made these sugar-crusted popovers for our breakfast this morning. While our ice encrusted landscape is beginning to thaw, I'm still confined to my castle and cooking with stores that are already stocked in the pantry and refrigerator. The recipe for these sweet popovers was developed by David Lebovitz for The New York Times and once I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try. We are popover people and having enjoyed both plain and savory versions, I knew that a sweet version would be happily accepted at my table. They are almost effortless to prepare and if you have even a minimally stocked pantry you'll be able to make these for your family. I decided to feature the recipe because the popovers would be a wonderful way to make Valentine's Day breakfast special. The recipe, for which I can take no credit, is a Lebovitz treasure and I know your family will enjoy his sugary puffs. Do give this recipe a try. Here is how these sweet popovers are made.
Sugar-Crusted Popovers...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Davis Lebovitz and The New York Times
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup flour
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally grease a nonstick popover pan, or a muffin pan with 1/2-cup indentations, with softened butter.
2) To make puffs: Put 2 tablespoons melted butter, eggs, milk, salt and sugar in a blender and blend for a few seconds. Add flour and whiz for about 10 seconds, just until smooth. Divide batter among the 9 greased molds, filling each 1/2 to 2/3rds full. Bake for 35 minutes, or until puffs are deep brown. Remove from oven, wait a few minutes until cool enough to handle, then remove popovers from pans and set them on a cooling rack. If they're stubborn, you may need a small knife or spatula to help pry them out.
3) To make topping: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Thoroughly brush each popover all over with the 1/4 cup of melted butter, then dredge each puff generously in the sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat them completely. Let cool on the wire rack. Yield: 9 popovers.

Have you seen the "Save The Polar Bears commercial"? I, like all animal lovers, am distraught that many animals that were once plentiful are now in danger of becoming extinct in the wild.
This commercial is narrated by some vaguely familiar actress who once was on a program only remembered by people dedicated to the preservation of 80s night time soaps. I do what I can to help endangered species (animals, not out of work actresses), but I wonder why some of the celebrities, who are rabid about the dwindling numbers of bears and various marine mammals, aren't concerned about the possibility that some of our most interesting and charming dogs may disappear.
I once owned a Sealyham Terrier. She was one of the most endearing dogs I ever owned. Sealies are small enough for the most compact apartment. They are loving and friendly to family and friends, but woe be upon the burglar that trips over one in the middle of the night. Yet they are in danger of becoming extinct. There were only 68 Sealyham Terriers registered in the US in 2006, the last year for which we have complete statistics. In most parts of the country you can go to shows on six consecutive weekends and never see a Sealy. When one does show up, it inevitably causes a stir. There has been a Sealy in the Top Ten Dogs for the last three years. Memorable appearances include BIS at the 2007 Eukanuba National Championship show by CH Efbe's Hidalgo At Goodspice. Charmin is owned by Margery Good & Richard Good & Sandra Middlebrooks of Cochranville, PA and was bred by France Bergeron.
Twenty percent of the breeds recognized by the AKC had less than 200 registrations in 2006. That's 30 separate breeds in danger of vanishing from our world. The conservation group Polar Bears International estimates that there are 15,000 Polar Bears in Canada alone. Now, I am one of those guys that is depressed for weeks whenever I hear that another animal has been placed on the endangered species list, but I am also one of those guys that thinks that we need to solve the poverty and disease in US cities before we increase our donations to the United Nations. I'm going to keep supporting politicans that protect the environment and defend endangered species, but only if they also support the rights of dog lovers to protect our homegrown endangered species. Personally, I would miss the Sealyham Terrier way more than the Polar Bear. After all I never shared my home with a Polar Bear for twelve years.
If you are thinking about adding a purebred dog to your home consider one of the rare breeds. There are small ones and big ones; hunting dogs and guard dogs; short coats and long coats. You can start your own conservation project.

Show dog rankings are fun things. We have links on our front page to the three most popular rankings, Dog News, Show Sights Magazine and the Canine Chronicle. Like the Associated Press' college football rankings, these monthly rankings are sources of great pride and great consternation. This year we have two really superb animals at the top of the rankings.
Currently in the lead is the Giant Schnauzer bitch, CH Gallilee's Pure of Spirit, with 68, 405 dogs defeated and 38 shows and 75 groups won as of July 31, 2008. Spirit is almost four years old and owned by Mary Hayes of New Canaan, CT.
Spirit is handled by Taffe McFadden, wife and handling partner of the superstar handler, Bill McFadden. Because Bill and Taffe are based in Northern California, Spirit's specials campaign has been concentrated on the west coast. Bill has jet set clients and he himself is quite the traveler. He never misses a Westminster (We all remember the dazzling Kerry Blue he piloted to BIS in 2003). Taffe was just in Atlanta this past weekend, where she and Spirit went BIS Friday and Saturday. They went Group One on Sunday, but lost to the German Shepherd Dog, CH Woodside's Pacino in the BIS ring.
Second in the rankings is the three year old Pointer bitch, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry with 56,178 dogs defeated and 52 shows and 90 groups won as of the end of July. Holly is owned by Sean McCarthy & Tammy McCarthy of New York, NY & Helyne Medeiros of Cape Cod, MA. Holly was bred by Cheryl S. LaDuc, A. Cantor, and A. Walker (You can tell by the number of owners and breeders that this dog is a major business venture. I know law firms with fewer partners). Holly is also partnered by a powerhouse handler, Michael E. Scott, who is married to the former Michelle Ostermiller. You might remember Michelle as the handler of the 2005 Wesminster winner, Ch Kan-Point's VJK Autumn Roses, German Shorthair Pointer (more on that win later).
While dog show rankings are more objective than the aforementioned AP college football rankings, they are still can be debated over post show cocktails. At first glance, they seem straight forward. By the end of July, Spirit had defeated 12,227 more dogs than Holly, a whopping 22 percent more. However, Holly has amassed 14 more best in shows, 33 percent more, than Spirit. During the current month Holly has picked up six more BIS to Spirit's five. The most telling statistic is the Cantfield, OH hat trick pulled off by Holly on the first three days of August. She went BIS at the Columbiana County, Beaver County, and Mahoning-Shenango shows in head to head match ups with Spirit.
So which is the real top dog? We will reserve our opinion until we see the results of the Eukanuba National Championship and Westminster 2009, dogdom's version of the playoffs and the Superbowl. Did I mention that the number five dog, the striking Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe's Hidalgo at Goodspice, went BIS over both Holly and Spirit at the Saratoga New York KC show on August 6? Damn, I love this stuff!
Now, back to the lovely Michelle Ostermiller Scott...I am a person that catalogues life as a series of memorable events. I have a mental scrapbook of snapshots that remind me how good my life has been. Everyone remembers the day they got married or the day their first child was born. Of course, those are cherished memories, but I have also those memories where I stumbled across extraordinary talent. Among my favorite experiences have been seeing Evita in San Francisco with Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin before they and the show won Tonys on Broadway; seeing Bette Midler perform at the Concord (CA) Pavillion the month before her Oscar nominated movie, The Rose, premiered, and seeing tenor Rolando Villazon in a super tiny concert hall in Atlanta six months before his Metropolitan Opera debut.
Equal to these was watching Michelle's Sporting Group and BIS Westminster wins in 2005. The two things that we all dream of in a show dog are spectacular movement across the ring and a free stack stare down of the judge. I have seen a lot of great show dogs and thrilling finals, but in 40 years of following dogs I have never seen the equal of Michelle's presentation of the GSP bitch, Carlee. She literally dared the judge to take her eyes off her. She was not one of the favorites going in. I remembered the pundits never even mentioned her. However, when she came back to the group judge and Michelle dramaticly dropped the lead, Carlee took over. She hit her mark and stared the judge down like she was a pheasant in the cross hairs. The entire garden was transfixed and, for a moment, all of us, pet owners and die hard enthusiasts, knew we were witnessing greatness. I live for moments like that.

For the first time in over three years a Cairn Terrier has gone Best In Show! CH Winsome Fergus Macflynn scrambled to the head of the pack in Longview, Texas. July 26, 2008. Mr. Terry Stacy, Mr. Jay Richardson, and Mr. Jon R. Cole awarded the Breed, Group, and Best In Show respectively. Congratulations to breeder, Nancy Jane Seaberry Smith, owners, Kendall & Tim Lake, and handler, Patsy B Benson-Wade.
Now, some may say that this was an insignificant win at a small show off the beaten path. There have may have been only 745 dogs in competition, but the Best In Show ring included the number five hound, the Petit Basset Griffon, Vendeen, CH Afterglow Ebeneezer; the number five non-sporting dog, the Chinese Shar-Pei, CH Asias Excalbur Whiplash; and the up and coming Pekingese, CH Franshaw Hear Me Roar, handled by the always formidable Hiram Stewart. Let me tell you, unless we're talking Westminster or Crufts, a Best In Show is a Best In Show is a Best In Show.
Why are BIS Cairns so rare? Without endorsing any of the following theories, here are some possibilities:
- Cairns are just too "ordinary" looking. Well, I don't think they are. Besides if a beagle can win at Westminster, why not a Cairn?
- They are a relatively rare breed. Well they are in some parts of the country, but they are just as numerous as Scotties and way more common than Sealys, both of which have been very successful over the years.
- The over all quality of Cairns being shown is not up to the level of the breeds which do get BIS. Now, I'm no Cairn specialist, but I really think that the over all quality of Cairns is better than a lot of other breeds being shown, especially breeds outside of the terrier group.
- The terrier group is the most competitive group in dogs. I'm partial to this theory. Terriers dominate the big shows.
- There are more owner handlers in Cairns than in breeds which go BIS frequently. While this may be true, when Cairns are paired with a professional handler they still get overlooked.
While I have no desire to see the Cairn become so popular that we see the kind of negatives associated with top ten registrations, I would like to see Cairns recognized for their many admirable traits. I think Cairn temperament just epitomizes show attitude. I also think Cairns are just as cute as it gets. Am I just being too Walter Mitty when I dream of going BIS?

Most of my non-doggy friends and family question my obsession with the dog show game. During my life I have spent a lot of money and time attending more traditional sporting events like football, basketball, and baseball. I've also had a couple of expensive and time consuming hobbies like boating and cars. My friends and family thought that all of these pursuits were wholesome and normal. Yet when I tell these outsiders that I just spent $1500 for a puppy or I'm driving 400 miles to attend a dog show, they act like I've taken leave of my senses.
Well, here's a couple of life lessons I've learned from the dog show fancy:
1. Dog show people live forever...or at least way longer than the average NASCAR fan. Last year, I attended a local show and a Japanese Chin exhibitor asked me to handle her class dog, while she showed her champion in best of breed ring. The judge was Maxine Beam. I first met Maxine in 1974 when we were both members of an all toy dog club in New York, now defunct (the club, not Maxine). I won't say Maxine is old, but she was "mature" in 1974.
2. Dog people know how to succeed. The dog fancy is a subjective sport and, like all subjective sports, accusations of favoritism and politics abound. In 1973, after a particularly long loosing streak , I asked one of the most successful professional handlers of the day, Bob Forsythe, if he had any advice for a novice like myself. Bob told me, with typical modesty, "If you bring a OK dog in the ring, I will beat you every time. But if you have a really special dog, you will win your share." The next dog I exhibited went Group Three from the classes at his first show.
Years later, my son came home from basketball tryouts, grumbling about how he had been cut because of favoritism and politics. I told him, "Next year you will just have to be so good they can't overlook you." He made the team that following year.
3. Dog people are tenacious. Back in the day when we had a lot of benched shows...benched shows, for those who have never exhibited at one, require that an exhibitor and his dog remain in the show hall during show hours, even after your dog has been judged and failed to win anything. This was done so the dog owner could meet and greet spectators while coming up with creative excuses for the failure to finish in the ribbons....but I digress. At one of my first shows in Philadelphia, which was benched show, I returned to my bench at 10:00 AM, after taking a reserve winners, to await for the warden, I mean show chairman, to release us from the show hall at 4:00 PM. I struck up a conversation with a fellow detainee, uh, exhibitor, an elderly woman accompanied by a particularly ill tempered Pekingese. Explaining that Pekes were bred to be guard dogs for the emperors of China, she regaled me with a story of how she had, in the 1930s, attended the Crufts Dog Show.
Crufts is the world's largest show, with over 22,000 dogs, and believed by many, especially the English, to be even more prestigious than Westminster
At that show she witnessed a magnificent looking Peke being disqualified for attempting to bite the judge. She approached the owner and told her that it was a shame that such a beautiful dog had been dismissed. The exasperated owner offered to sell her the nasty animal at a bargain price and before the afternoon was out my fellow detainee had a new stud dog. The next day the lady and the Peke boarded the Queen Mary for the trip home to New York. Once they were settled into their stateroom, she decided to get acquainted with her new dog. A few minutes later she rang the steward for some iodine, bandages, and a pair of heavy work gloves. The way she told the story, by the end of the week long crossing, she and her bad tempered buddy had gained a lasting respect for one another. That dog went on to win several best in shows here in the US.
CH Chik T'Sun of Caversham with handler Clara Alford. Ossie was the top winning Pekingese in history with 126 Best In Shows. Ossie was NOT the bad tempered Peke that my friend imported.
The only life lesson I ever learned at a football game was how to balance a beer and a dish of nachos in my lap at the same time.

I went to my first dog show in 1968. My family had just purchased our first AKC registered dog, a Saint Bernard, we called Brandy. I remembered that none of the dogs looked like any of the dogs in my neighborhood. That show was won by the Afghan Hound, CH Dahnwood Gabriel, the top Hound of 1968, handled by Michele Leathers Billings. The two of them were like rock stars, glamorous and larger than life. I was a short, plain looking kid with glasses from Memphis, Tennessee, and, for me, these two were celebrities. Now, I knew I was never going to be another Elvis or James Dean, but here was a world where mere dog owners were superstars.
Now 40 years later, Elvis and James Dean are dead, but I'm still going to dog shows. I never did achieve that rock star fame (Success is just as elusive in dogdom as it is in music or films), but I've shown at Westminster (the Garden), Philadelphia, Santa Barbara, San Francisco (the Cow Palace) and Portland (Oregon). I am one of those people that recognized all the characters from the movie Best In Show. I remember best in show rings at big shows the way some people remember touchdowns at Super Bowls.
I took a break from showing to pursue a career and raise a family, but now I am retired and the children are grown. I have acquired a 13 week old Cairn bitch puppy. We have named her Shadowland's Devil in Disguise.
Dee Dee is the granddaughter of the top winning Cairn Terrier in history, Ch. Rose Croft Best Foot Forward, and niece of this year's Westminster best of breed, Ch Ashwood Kenric's Wicked. Hopefully, Dee Dee will continue the family winning tradition. Our heartfelt thanks to Dee Germany of Shadowland Kennels for letting us have this little girl. Win or lose, we and Dee Dee will visit several shows in the future and will share our adventures in and out of the ring here in this blog.

Though film fans everywhere let out a sigh of relief when it was recently announced that Joss Whedon would be returning to write and direct The Avengers 2, a big question mark on Marvel's upcoming slate remained. Thor: The Dark World and Captain American: The Winter Soldier already have directors attached and are well on their way to production, but Guardians of the Galaxy—the studio's sole original property on the Phase Two slate—was still without a director.
We recently learned that screenwriter Chris McCoy had been hired to rewrite the existing script by Nicole Perlman, and now comes word that Marvel has finally closed in on their director to bring the space-set superhero story to the big screen: James Gunn. Hit the jump for more.
Per Heat Vision, Marvel's number one choice to direct Guardians of the Galaxy is Super and Slither director James Gunn. This is both a shocking and wildly exciting choice. Gunn has zero experience directing big budget fare (he did write the scripts for the Scooby-Doo films and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead), but he's proved to be excellent at blending elements of humor, horror, and drama with his previous directorial features.
THR notes that Marvel is currently exclusively talking with Gunn, but they haven't ruled out other directors that are also in the running. Those choices include Peyton Reed (Yes Man, Bring It On) and the directing duo Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson, It's Kind of a Funny Story). It's certainly clear that Marvel is looking for someone with both comedic and dramatic experience to bring Guardians of the Galaxy, with little worry about the director's familiarity with action sequences. As Whedon recently signed a deal to stay with Marvel through 2015 and creatively consult on the studio's other properties in addition to his Avengers 2 duties, I can't help but think he had some input regarding these Guardians directors.
Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be one hell of a feature film to pull off—possibly the most difficult in Marvel Studios' history. The cast of characters in the film include Drax The Destroyer, a human resurrected as a warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (that smiling baddie at the end of The Avengers), Star-Lord, a half-human/half-alien "intergalactic vigilante", Groot, a giant tree (he's essentially an Ent), Gamora, the last survivor of her species who is saved by Thanos to be his assassin but who now battles him, and of course there's the talking Rocket Raccoon.
It's worth noting that, should Gunn sign on to helm Guardians of the Galaxy, there will be two key Marvel directors who have a close working relationship with Nathan Fillion. So, Fillion fanboys, address your letters/pleas accordingly and cross those fingers.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
We are an exciting online retail concept for the Indian wedding gifts market.
Please help me with a clean, iconic, recognizable logo that will be the face of our service online and in print.
[RECENTLY UPDATED: See BONUS POINTS section in What I Want below]
Tofagenie is a composite Hindi-English word. Tofa in Hindi means gift and you know what genie means in English, of course. Tofagenie's tagline is 'Where your wishes come true...' Tofagenie is a service that users can use to create wishlists for their weddings -- kind of like registries at http://theknot.com
Note that this logo is for consumption by Internet users in India, so any elements that might make Indian users feel at home would be a plus. Feel free to use elements like a genie, a lamp or any other fantasy-based themes that tie in to wish fulfilment. It would be better if logos did NOT have an explicit wedding tie-in.
The winning logo will be iconic and easy to recognize and can stand alone, apart from the name of the service. It would feature a human/human-like character to which its audience can ascribe personality traits--think something that can possibly be animated as the face of the service.
- Tagline: 'Where your wishes come true...' in any case of your choice (all lowercase, title case etc.)
- A genie, or at the very least, something/someone to which you can attribute personality characteristics
- Doesn't have to be strictly rectangular.
- Colorful, yet understated and elegant. Pastels evocative of India (orange, brown, green etc.) a plus.
- Some element in the logo that can stand alone (i.e. without the Tofagenie name), such as with a favico.ico browser tab icon
- BONUS POINTS: If you are able to incorporate the Interstate typeface into your design. I have seen some great designs so far, but I'd like to see some that use Interstate for the main logo and/or tagline.Please include a vector master copy (Adobe Illustrator, SVG, Photoshop etc.) as well as easily consumable rasterizations (any of jpg, png or gif).
- No clipart
- Not too many colors
- No rainbows
- No gradients, unless to make a shiny button effect

Chelsea and Bayern Munich are getting ready for the match of their lives on Saturday when they will play the final of the UEFA Champions League. Both teams had some great matches in the semis to make it to the finals with Chelsea stunning last years champions Barcelona.
Bayern Munich has already tasted Champions league glory by winning 4 cups. However, their last Champions league final win came back in 2011. On the other hand, Chelsea have only made it to the Champions league finals once in 2008 where they lost to EPL rivals Manchester United in the finals.
This will be a huge match for both teams and will showcase some of the best football. Bayern Munich have a huge home advantage because the final is also being hosted in Munich. Chelsea will not give up lightly though since winning the final is their only chance to play in the Champions league next year after they could not qualify through the English Premier league.
If you are looking to watch the Champion League final match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich online? You can watch the UEFA Champions league final live online using a Google Chrome Extension called Eplsite.
Once you download the extension from here, you can click on the football icon in the toolbar to view a list of current ongoing UEFA and EPL matches, clicking on a link will take you to the live streaming video for the match.
In addition to that you can also try your luck on sites like atdhenet.tv, atdhe.ws or forum.wiziwig.eu to see if they have live streaming links. Additionally, you will find some user uploaded streams at Justin.tv or Ustream.tv. Please check your local laws to see if these options are legal before using them.

When children commit violent crimes against other children, it often generates national headlines. When the shock subsides, it leaves many of us desperately seeking some rational explanation for the underlying cause of such aggression. But some of us will be satisfied only by seeking justice for the victim and punishment for the offender.
In "Defending Jacob," about a 14-year-old boy accused of murdering his classmate, Boston author William Landay brilliantly weaves a story that leaves his reader hungering for a little of both.
Landay will speak about his novel in a series of public appearances this summer, including July 25 at the Duxbury Free Library.
"I think we tend to consume these kind of stories because they tell us something about ourselves,'' Landay said in a recent interivew. "When we read about disturbing or violent behavior, we want to make sense of it because we recognize something that could well exist within ourselves.
"These are human behaviors after all. . . . It may be easy to just label people 'monsters,' but we all share commonality with both saints and sinners."
In this story, set in Newton, Ben Rivkin is stabbed to death in a local park, and fellow classmate Jacob Barber, son of first assistant district attorney Andy Barber, stands accused of murdering him.
When called in on the case, Andy is determined to pursue a lead about a pedophile as a serious suspect, until he is blindsided by the discovery that his son's fingerprint has been found on the murdered boy's shirt.
In addition, troubling Facebook postings begin to emerge, suggesting that Jacob not only has potential motive but even possesses a knife. And to the Barbers' horror, they learn that Jacob's best friend and classmates have always found Jacob more than a little strange.
Yet, in spite of the growing evidence, Andy Barber remains convinced of his son's innocence and rallies to his aid.
The question Landay raises is whether parents ever completely know their own children. Don't all children seem a bit "strange" when they enter adolescence and become simultaneously more vulnerable, yet more inscrutable and more private about what's going on in their inner life? Isn't Jacob just a typical teen, or could he be a seriously troubled young man and perhaps even a killer?
As Landay skillfully delves into Jacob's upbringing and character, and Andy Barber narrates the unfolding courtroom drama, a shocking familial history is also revealed. What begins as a suspenseful mystery becomes a tense family drama as well.
Who better to weave this story than a writer who has both firsthand courtroom experience and is the father of two young children?
Born in Brookline, educated at Yale and Boston College Law School, Landay was an assistant district attorney for about seven years and a courtroom litigator in Middlesex County. He wrote two successful earlier novels, "Mission Flats," published in 2003 and named the best debut crime novel of the year, and "The Strangler," published in 2007.
When asked about the source of inspiration for "Defending Jacob," Landay said: "While I may have gotten seeds from both real-life cases and headlines, and certainly my consciousness and sensibility come through in the writing, both the story and character of Andy Barber do not map to my life directly."
Yet, he added, "I certainly knew compassionate career prosecutors like Andy Barber," and would have "loved to continue to become a trial lawyer like Andy Barber who is genuinely a master of his craft, incredibly talented, smart, humble, and loyal to a fault."
But while drawing from his real-life experiences, Landay said, "My real goal was to write a story that honors both the readers' intellect and the desire to be entertained."
Landay said he chose a young teenager as the main suspect because "I wanted to create a character who had the capacity to inflict hurt in the world, but also find the point of maximum vulnerability."
Most important, Landay said, " I didn't want Jacob to be portrayed as a monster, but rather, as an ordinary teenager who is complex; a boy who is really hard to fully know and comprehend, like any adolescent. . . .
"I think all parents know the feeling of being excluded from their child's life at a certain point when they begin to develop this private sphere of thinking and behaving . . . and every parent can probably relate to the problem of feeling that maybe they don't really know who their child is or what they are capable of."
In the end, said Landay, this is a story about "what it means to come to terms with parenting, growing up, and even one's own childhood."
One question it will inevitably raise, Landay added, "is how far does a parent's responsibility go to protect their own child, but also what is the responsibility of a citizen to protect society. "
William Landay will speak about "Defending Jacob,'' at 7 p.m. on July 25 at the Duxbury Free Library. The event is sponsored by Westwinds Bookshop of Duxbury.

The techno-logistics platform enables logistics services on demand for clients, who can request bids in-app or on the web portal after registering. For clients, Trukkin unlocks new suppliers, services on demand, and lower transport overheads backed by transparency. For fleet owners and individual drivers, the Trukkin platform offers a powerful new channel for business development, specifically for truck rental in Dubai.
Trukkin with the mission of making it the preferred logistics enabler region wide by providing a state of the art mechanism to connect suppliers and clients. Trukkin answers a genuine industry need for greater transparency, choice of providers, and the ability to request transport services from available fleets. As a reputable truck finder online, Trukkin has honed the user journey to make registration, placing orders, accepting bids, and making payments very simple, leading to an excellent user experience from start to finish.
The Trukkin ecosystem comprises a multi-lingual customer app on iOS and Android, and a web portal. Fleet owners and individual drivers can also take advantage of the multi-lingual online portal and apps.
Customers, fleet owners, and independent drivers all register on the Trukkin platform after going through a verification process. Customers can then request services and provide order details via the app and web platforms.
With the loads for trucks in mind, customers choose a preferred supplier and give the go-ahead. Drivers from the logistics firm or fleet operator then arrive to pick up the goods and start the provision of services.
Once the driver has reached the drop-off point and off-loaded the goods, proof of delivery is uploaded to the app, and the service is officially concluded. Customers then have a variety of in-app methods to offer payment.
Customers and fleet owners can also track their shipments in real-time through Trukkin's tracking system. The Trukkin team also provides clients with operational support throughout the transaction experience.

The Duck Factory - how many volumes are there?
For some reason I really want the Duck Factory, however when I look on ebay they only sell them in america... and I dont know which ones to get. Theres the premerie episodes and the final episodes. Someone has the video tape for the final episodes for 50 dollars. Does anyone have the whole collection, I would love to buy it. I wish it was out on dvd, but like the JCO newsletter said it wont be coming out. Im trying to get all of jims movies on DVD. So I need all his old movies. Iwish I didnt live in australia. theres nothing here of his old ones
I have seen VHS pal versions on Ebay many times. There are 2 of them and they each have 4 episodes on them. keep checking Ebay it may take a while but I am sure there will be more selling on there.
There are a few of us on here that have all thirteen episodes but they are extremely hard to get. I got mine from my online friend that I swap Jim things with.
Get which ever one you can they are both very good.
50 dollars??? geeeesh
50 bucks? Seriously? Well you def. know not to get that one!
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
Hey I found a pal VHS version here
Cool thanks. So you said theres 4 episodes on each?... thats 8 overall. Is there an extra video which has 5 episodes on them?
I wish someone had made a dvd off it, I would so buy it off someone. Thanks for the link cotten. I'll save it to my favs and find out what others I can get. It would be good if I could download them all somewhere off the net... but that wont work cause if I wanted to play it on tv the picture would be small.
I wanted to get An Unnatural Act too as well, but theres only 30 minute clips of it around and not the full hour or whatevre it is. I cant find that here in australia either. DAMN this world why cant we all have one region???
The other 5 are the ones that have never been released to video. The only way to get them is to find somebody(who taped it when it was on tv) who can make copies of it onto a dvd pal player or a VHS pal player and can swap with you. I would but my VHS players are not pal.

Video preview of GIGABYTE P55A mobos - SATA3, USB3 and 3x USB power
Shooting new P55 mobo vids down in Taipei
(Video at the bottom) Today we were invited to the GIGABYTE headquarters here in Taipei. We were given an exclusive hands-on look at its upcoming and refreshed Intel P55 Express based motherboards for Core i5 and Core i7 Lynnfield based Socket 1156 processors. Namely, we are looking at the P55A-UD6 and the P55A-UD4P.
GIGABYTE had actually planned to implement SATA3 support in its first revision P55 motherboards that were launched back in June around Computex time, but due to some controller issues, a delay was an unfortunate result.
Marvel has since fixed and improved its single disk and RAID 0 supporting SATA3 controller and now we see one of the first motherboards on the market to support the next generation storage system. At the moment, there is no RAID 1 support, but a GIGABYTE product manager mentioned in our meeting that Marvell may come out with a new firmware a little later adding that ability. Also, GIGABYTE told us that they saw up to a 30% increase in performance when going from a SATA2 to SATA 3 hard drive under HD Tach, measuring both burst and read speeds. Not bad.
Next on the list of refresh changes with both boards is the addition of USB 3.0 support. We've all been using USB 2.0 for what feels like an eternity now, finally we see again one of the first motherboards to add in support for the new Super Speed plug and play connectivity standard. An NEC chipset has been used as you can see below.
The third big thing GIGABYTE is pushing with the "A" refresh of P55 boards is triple power USB. What the heck is that? Well, in order to increase the stability and support of connected USB devices, GIGABYTE tripled the amount of output power on all USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. The USB 2.0 spec calls for a minimum output of 500 milliamps per port, that has gone to 1500 milliamps and the USB 3.0 spec calls for a higher minimum output of 900 milliamps per power and that has been increased to 2700 milliamps. What this also means is that now all external hard drives will work and you'll only need to use one USB cable for both data and power transfer.
But we're not quite done yet. The forth change that isn't documented as much is the fact that GIGABYTE has switched over from a Foxconn socket to a Lotes socket. While I haven't personally heard of this, GIGABYTE told us that there have been reports online of the Foxconn sockets causing all sorts of problems, hence the switch. The socket has also been coated to match the rest of the board. Good touch.
Check out our video right here for all the details and a good, close, hands-on look.
Early next week we'll also give you an exclusive look at GIGABYTE's X58 Extreme2 motherboard - stay tuned for that video!

LEHI, Utah — The talk ahead of Real Salt Lake's crucial second leg of the Western Conference semfinals (Saturday, 10 p.m. ET, FSC) is all about Javier Morales' red-card suspension. But the defending champs may be at an even bigger disadvantage with another absence.
Alvaro Saborio, RSL's leading scorer, has had reoccurring issues with his right knee for the past several weeks and has been listed in the injury report with "knee internal derangement." The Costa Rican came out of RSL's first-leg 2-1 loss to FC Dallas last weekend in the 68th minute.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
"Right before we brought him out, he went down and was in some obvious pain," Kreis said of Saborío. "It was always going to be some consideration of just how long he could last."
Saborío leads the team with 12 goals, one more than his typical strike partners Robbie Findley and Fabian Espindola combined.
"He didn't train [Tuesday]," Kreis said of the Costa Rican star. "We're being very protective of him. We'll try to do our best so that he's ready for the weekend."
BUY: Tickets, RSL vs. Dallas, Saturday, 10 p.m. ET
Although Saborío wasn't on the training field, he was getting some work in on the stationary bike and going through some treatments with the trainers. Kreis noted that it's about more than whether the striker can physically make it out on the field.
"I think it has to be a serious concern as to whether or not he can be effective," said Kreis.
If Saborío is unable to start on Saturday, the players up top would likely be Espíndola and Findley.
Espíndola has six goals on the season, and scored the lone RSL goal in Dallas, while Findley, who has five tallies to his name, hasn't found the back of the net since Aug. 7. Seldom-used Pablo Campos and his Brazilian counterpart, Paulo Jr., are other options for Kreis.
Paulo Jr. returned to practice on Wednesday after being out last week with a groin strain.

Along with the Stooges' Ron Asheton/James Williamson, the New York Dolls' Johnny Thunders, and the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones, the Ramones' Johnny Ramone was one punk rock's first guitar heroes and remains one of the most influential guitarists of the genre. Born John Cummings on October 8, 1948, in Long Island, NY, (and raised in nearby Forest Hills, Queens), Cummings was taken by the rock sounds of the '60s -- Rolling Stones, the Who, etc. -- but discovered a real connection with such proto-punk bands as the Stooges, MC5, and Velvet Underground. It wasn't until the early '70s that a friend (Douglas Colvin) and he purchased their first instruments -- Cummings a Mosrite guitar and Colvin a bass, intent on learning their instruments and forming a band reminiscent of their garage rock heroes. By 1974, the duo had hooked up with local fellow musical upstarts Jeffrey Hyman (vocals) and Tom Erdelyi (drums), and the Ramones were born.
Each member took "Ramone" as their new last name (with Douglas and Jeffrey changing their first names as well, to Dee Dee and Joey, respectively), and began playing a downtown N.Y.C. dive on a regular basis, CBGB's. With all four members dressed like New York street toughs (denim jackets, ripped jeans) and with music that was influenced just as much by the Bay City Rollers than the popular rock of the day, the Ramones stumbled upon a winning combination and instantly built a following -- proving to be a much-needed alternative to what was then popular with the rock record buying public (prog rock, disco, etc.). Johnny's buzz saw guitar riffs and the band's short, simple, yet catchy songs (which were totally devoid of guitar solos) would soon take the world by storm, starting with their classic 1976 self-titled release for Sire, starting off a string of seminal punk releases -- 1977's Leave Home and Rocket to Russia, plus 1978's Road to Ruin, which included some of the genre's most instantly recognizable anthems ("Blitzkrieg Bop," "Beat on the Brat," "Pinhead," "Rockaway Beach," "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "I Wanna Be Sedated," etc.). But a large part of the Ramones experience was the group's explosive stage show, their maniacal energy and straight-ahead approach while ripping through almost 30 songs a set (as witnessed by their stellar 1979 live album, It's Alive) was infectious. Along with such other rising punk bands from CBGB's (namely Blondie, Talking Heads, Dead Boys, Dictators) and across the pond in England (Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Jam, the Damned), the Ramones found themselves as frontrunners of the punk movement.
Johnny and the Ramones continued to crank out albums throughout the '80s and the first half of the '90s, with varying degrees of success and with a revolving door of bandmembers -- Johnny and Joey were the only two constant members. But the band retained their loyal fan base and remained a must-see concert attraction. By the mid-'90s, the quartet decided to pack it up with a farewell tour that included an appearance on the 1996 edition of Lollapalooza. The band's influence has been immense; just about every punk band that sprung up after the Ramones owes the boys from Queens a thing or two (especially the chart-topping punk pop of the '90s: Green Day, Blink 182, Rancid, the Offspring, etc.).
Although Johnny kept a low profile after the group's breakup, there were always rumors and hints going around of a possible reunion, but on April 15, 2001, those dreams were permanently extinguished when Joey Ramone died in a N.Y.C. hospital, after an extended battle with cancer. Although it wasn't public knowledge at the time, Johnny Ramone was also battling cancer. In June of 2004, Johnny was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for an infection related to prostate cancer, an event that made the news and revealed his condition to the world at large. On September 15, 2004 Johnny Ramone passed away at his home, surrounded by friends and family. ~ Greg Prato~ Rovi

Thanks to Governor Pat McCrory and the current General Assembly, your tax dollars will soon be subsidizing discrimination across North Carolina and paying to teach children bizarre fundamentalist theories about dinosaurs and the age of the earth.
The budget passed this summer and signed by McCrory created a school voucher scheme, euphemistically called opportunity scholarships, that will allow almost completely unaccountable and unregulated private and religious academies to receive state funding diverted from traditional public schools.
For now the scholarship can only be used by students in low-income families who attended public schools last year, but don't be fooled. Rep. Paul Stam, the primary sponsor of the proposal, clearly wants every student in private school to eventually receive a voucher from the taxpayers. He has said as much.
Recently the Myrtle Grove Christian School in Wilmington announced that it will begin denying admission to gay students or students of gay parents. Myrtle Grove is on the list of schools eligible to participate in the voucher program that is maintained by the Division of Non-Public Schools in the state Department of Administration.
That means that your tax dollars will fund a school next fall that openly discriminates against gay students and gay parents. And folks in the McCrory Administration don't seem all that upset about it.
Chris Mears, the spokesperson for the Department of Administration, told a writer for the Wilmington Faith and Values website that the department doesn't look at individual school policies for the opportunity scholarships.
Apparently if schools want to discriminate with our tax dollars, that's ok with the folks in the McCrory Administration.
And Myrtle Grove is hardly alone. The majority of private schools on the approved list for receiving public money through vouchers are religious, many clearly with an evangelical fundamentalist outlook.
The Faith and Values story about Myrtle Grove cited a study of Georgia voucher schools done by the Southern Education Foundation that found that 115 of the schools have "severe anti-gay policies" or belonged to national groups that promote anti-gay positions.
We don't know how many there are in North Carolina but it is a safe bet there are quite a few.
Lindsay Wagner with NC Policy Watch reported this fall that some of the schools on the approved list for vouchers use the A-Beka Book curriculum and books from Bob Jones University Press.
As Wagner reported, those books teach students that dinosaurs and humans co-existed on Earth, that slaves were generally treated well and that gay people have no more claims to special rights than child molesters or rapists.
Next fall the schools that use those textbooks will be teaching those ideas with public money and barring any gay students or kids in gay families from attending.
Another one of the schools on the approved list for taxpayer support is Paramount Christian Academy in Thomasville that has one teacher and seven students and phone numbers that don't appear to be working.
Paramount Christian may be receiving public money next year and it is not clear what is being taught there.
Stam and the other supporters of the voucher scheme don't care, and say we don't need any real requirements for the schools to meet, that parents provide the ultimate accountability by choosing the school for their kids.
If they want their children to attend a school that openly discriminates against certain people or teaches blatantly wrong or even offensive theories, that's fine.
And what's more, Stam and apparently Governor McCrory want to force us to pay for it. And starting this fall we will, to North Carolina's great shame.

A multi-site, Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) efficacy study compared the effects of two AAC devices on the language, and cognition of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (Down and Fragile X syndromes) age 5-12 years old. Participants were randomized to either device 1 (Chatbox 40) or device 2 (ALT-Chat), and a randomized pre- and -post, multi-site design was used to investigate the effectiveness of the AAC devices.
This project furthered the development of a secure, multi-site assistive technology outcomes system that captures data for measuring the impact of assistive technology devices and services for children and adults with disabilities.
In collaboration with the RERC for Workplace Accommodations, Assistive Technology Partners developed, tested and refined a context aware prompting system designed to act as a job coach for adults with cognitive disabilities working in assembly line jobs in competitive employment settings. A randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the impact of two types of work-related prompting systems: electronic aid(personal digital assistants (PDAs)) and CAPS.
Assistive Technology Partners conducted a research study as a part of the RERC for Rehabilitation Technologies to determine if improvements in access, participation, adherence, health, and function around physical activity increases the quality of life and health for persons with disabilities of all ages.
Assistive Technology Partners has partnered with Senior Researchers from the Armonk facility to develop and evaluate new accessibility features for next generation systems and personalization of keyboard features.
Assistive Technology Partners has worked with AbleLink Technologies, Inc. to evaluate the impact of a hand-held auditory prompting system for persons with cognitive impairments.
In conjunction with It's Never 2 Late, Assistive Technology Partners evaluated the impact on Quality of Life for senior citizens living in nursing homes who are trained to use computers. With support for learning to use adapted keyboards, trackballs and other assistive technology devices to email their family and friends, these individuals are now accessing the internet.
Two Small Business Innovation Research Phase I grants were awarded to SMS Consulting, Inc. The role of Assistive Technology Partners was to measure the impact of the Personal Scanner for persons who are blind or unable to read LCD displays on common office equipment, and the impact of the QWIKClick, an on-screen keyboard for persons using a single switch to activate the computer.

The Festival of Jewish Culture, Krakow.
The 21st Festival of Jewish Culture in Krakow, Poland took place last week and I was honored and excited to take part as a performer with Di Nayes. It is a festival like no other – 'festival' hardly describes how the entire city quarter of Kazimierz is transformed for a week into a center for Jewish and Yiddish culture including concerts, workshops, gallery exhibits, museum presentations, dance, and food. It is pure nakhes to be there, not the least because it gives us Klezmer musicians a chance to spend some real quality time hanging with each other, hatching new musical projects, and meeting the people who actually listen to us and sipping coffee with them in the many cafes that have sprung up in Kazimierz. A lot of writers have mentioned the supposed irony of the Jewish revival in Kazimierz since the release of the film "Schindler's List" but to visit Krakow during the festival is to see how a small but dedicated group of people – Poles trying to recover the multicultural heritage of their country – can make an annual festival the cornerstone of a cultural movement that ensures that the Jewish culture of Krakow endures all year long. The founder of the festival, Janusz Makuch, is well known to all of us dealing in East European Jewish culture. Janusz embraces the old multicultural heritage of Galicia – the southern Polish region that anchors itself to the urban center of Krakow.Not born as a Jew, as a young man Janusz learned that half of his town was once Jewish, which lead him to learn Hebrew and Yiddish and study the works of Polish Jewish literature and folklore. Janusz introduced himself to an audience in Israel a few years ago this way: "My name is Janusz Makuch and I come from Poland. I come from a country of rabbis and tzaddikim, gaons and melameds, from a country of Jewish sages, writers, bankers, architects, painters, doctors, shoemakers and tailors, physicians and politicians, scientists and Jewish soldiers, from a country of devout, good people… I come from a country of anti-Semites and goodhearted people and the greatest number of Righteous among the Nations… from a country of countless shtetls, yeshivas and Hassidic courts, from a country of Jewish autonomy and pluralism and I come from a country of pogroms and murder. I come from a country whose greatness was co-created by Jews who were Polish citizens. And I come from a country that after the war kicked out Polish citizens who were Jews. I come from a country of anti-Semitic madness where they burned Jews in barns. And I come from a country of Christian mercy where they hid Jews in barns. My name is Janusz Makuch. I come from Poland and I am a goy, and at the same time for more than 20 years I have created and run the largest Jewish culture festival in the world. I'm a Jewish Pole - and I'm proud of it." That is about as cogent a sense of Janusz as I could find, and it shows the depth of commitment and understanding that motivates the Krakow Jewish Culture festival and sets it head and shoulders above so many other festvals working with a similar theme.A festival has to be more than a charismatic organizer – and Janusz leads an office of organizers unlike any other festival I have been to. Patient, efficient, with an endless well of good humor, Kasia, Robert, and a small army of young volunteers guarantee that everything flows smoothly, no small task when dealing with dozens of musicians and artists' bruised egos and lost luggage. While there are other good Jewish music frestivals in Europe – London comes to mind, as well as the projects coming via Paris' Medem – Krakow is the Big One. (This makes me more than a little ashamed to even think about the ridiculous schmutzerei that is Budapest's idea of a Summer Jewish Festival – a festival that can't ever seem to find any decent Jewish music or arts even with a budget large enough to float the Titanic. But then Hungary is not Poland.)And then there are the venues – especially the glorious Tempel Synagogue where we played our big concert. A classic 19th century Moorish Revival style synagogue restored to a fully functional state with excellent acoustics and room for a large audience, this was a place that could serve performers as intimate as Lauren Sklamberg and Frank London's Tsuker Zis Project, and as big and party happy as the amazing show by Jeremiah Lockwood and The Sway Machinery with guest Sarahwi singer from Mali, Khaira Arby.Lockwood has done amazing things using cantorical music and has also done some amazing work that has been documented on the Nigun Project via New York's The Forward web site, but he has deep roots in country blues and with a lineup including alumni from the New York Afrobeat band Antibalas they simply blew me away. Late at night the crowd gathered at the funky Alchemia Club next to the old market for late night jams led by Paul Brody with a changing cast of musicians. And then there is the big closing concert at Szeroka Square – the Mother of All Jewish Music concerts, ever. From Israel came the stunning and innovative Yemen Blues. This year the special guest – nobody can be said to be the 'headliners' here – was Abraham Inc., a project that and… Fred Wesly, the trombone player from the legendary James Brown Band in teams clarinetist David Krakauer with DJ Socalled Josh Dolgin the 1960s and 70s.Yes, the driving sound behind "Hot Pants" and "Say it loud, I'm Black and Proud" before joining my all time favorite funk band Parliament-Funkadelic and leading their offshoot The Horny Horns. Yes, that Fred Wesly, pumping out funky horn lines behind Yiddish samples mixed by Socalled and held up by one of the best lineups of contemporary funk I have seen in years. And that's just the finale. Dan Kahn and Painted Bird had to leave early, but their show was one of the most memorable of the concert series - most of the shows are available on the festival website – including ours (Scroll down for Di Naye Kapelye.) I could go on and on… which it already seems that I have… but I will save it for a post later this week. There is so much to talk about… and I still have to go through my photos and unpack my bags and put all the instruments away… Serdecznie dziękuję, Krakow!

Josh Hausman, an economics job market candidate from Berkeley, has a guest post on Miles Kimball's blog that's worth checking out:
An excellent historical analogy to Miles's Federal Lines of Credit proposal are the 1931 loans to World War I veterans that I discussed in a guest blog post in August. As I described then, in 1924, Congress promised to pay World War I veterans a large bonus in 1945. When the Depression threw many out of work, veterans lobbied for early payment of the bonus. Congress acquiesced in 1931 by allowing veterans to borrow up to 50 percent of the value of their bonus. The main chapter of my dissertation focuses on the larger payment to veterans that occurred in 1936. In this blog post, I summarize my paper and discuss its possible implications for the success of a Federal Lines of Credit program.
Despite their ability to take loans after 1931, veterans continued to demand immediate cash payment of the entire, non-discounted, value of their bonus. Tens of thousands camped out in Washington, DC from May to July 1932 to lobby Congress and the President for immediate payment (see picture). Rather than agree to their demands, President Hoover allowed General Douglas MacArthur to use soldiers and tanks to evict the veterans from Washington. Soldiers burned down veterans' shacks in Anacostia. This forcible eviction provoked a political reaction that helped propel Franklin Roosevelt to victory the next year.
Although popular history often emphasizes Roosevelt's New Deal spending, FDR was in fact a deficit hawk, who raised taxes as much as he increased spending. Consequently, Roosevelt opposed payment of the bonus. But eventually, in January 1936, widespread popular support led Congress to override Roosevelt's veto and authorize payment.
In June 1936 the typical veteran received $550, more than annual per capita income and enough money to buy a new car. In aggregate, the Federal government issued 3.2 million veterans bonds worth $1.8 billion or 2% of GDP. As a share of the economy, bonus payments were roughly the same size as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the Obama stimulus) in 2009.
This payment had a loan component analogous to a Federal Lines of Credit program since it allowed veterans access to money in 1936 that they were supposed to receive in 1945. Furthermore, taking the money as cash in 1936 came with an interest rate penalty: veterans were issued bonds in $50 denominations and could cash as many or as few of them as they desired. If they held the bonds, they would receive 3 percent interest every year until 1945. Just as one pays interest when one borrows money from a bank, veterans had to forgo interest if they chose to cash their bonus in 1936.
But the 1936 legislation also was an outright gift, since it increased the present value of veterans' lifetime income. In particular the legislation forgave interest on loans that they had taken against the bonus, and gave veterans in 1936 the same nominal sum they had been supposed to receive in 1945. In my paper, I calculate that for the typical veteran roughly half the bonus amount received in June 1936 was an increase in present value lifetime income.
Effects of the bonus
Out of the $1.8 billion of bonds issued to veterans through June 30, 1936, $1.2 billion were cashed in June and July 1936. A further 200 million were redeemed in late summer and fall. Thus 80 percent of the dollar value of the bonds was cashed in 1936. This in itself suggests large effects from giving veterans access to cash; more generally, it suggests that a program giving individuals access to low interest rate loans, as Federal Lines of Credit would do, can be quite popular.
My paper explores whether and how veterans spent this money. The primary source of evidence is a household consumption survey administered by the Works Progress Administration and the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1935 and 1936. By exploiting variation in when households were surveyed and in the likelihood that a household included a veteran, I estimate a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) out of the bonus of 0.7, meaning that out of every dollar of bonus bonds received, the typical veteran spent 70 cents. This result is confirmed by other, independent, sources of evidence.
Interestingly, an MPC of 0.7 is as large as that measured from the 2001 tax rebates and 2008 stimulus payments, programs that did not have a loan component. If veterans' spending were only influenced by the part of the bonus that represented a change in the present value of their lifetime income, then it would be almost impossible to explain the amount of spending I observe. An MPC of 0.7 out of the total bonus implies a MPC out of the increment to lifetime income of about 1.4 (since the increment to lifetime income was roughly half the bonus amount). This is implausible. Instead, the much more likely explanation is that veterans' spent more in 1936, not only because their lifetime income was higher, but because the bonus meant access to a low interest rate loan at a time when liquidity constraints were pervasive.
Further evidence on the bonus's effects comes from differences in the proportion of the population made up of veterans across states and cities. This variation meant significant geographic variation in bonus payments received. The figure at the top of this post juxtaposes the change in new car purchases from 1935 to 1936 in a state against the number of veterans per capita as measured in the 1930 census in that state. The slope implies that for every additional veteran in a state, roughly 0.3 more new cars were sold in 1936. In the paper, I show that this result is robust to controlling for a variety of different possible confounding variables.
A third source of evidence on veterans' spending behavior is an unpublished survey by the American Legion that asked 42,500 veterans how they planned to use their bonus. Veterans told the American Legion that they planned to consume 40 cents out of every dollar and to spend an additional 25 cents out of every dollar on residential and business investment. Evidence from the 2001 and 2008 Bush tax rebates suggests that such ex ante surveys are likely to significantly understate the total cumulative spending response (see section 5 of my paper for more on this argument). Thus, the prospective MPC of 0.4 measured in the American Legion Survey is consistent with an actual MPC that was significantly higher.
Aggregate time series are also consistent with a large spending response. GDP grew 13.1 percent in 1936, more rapidly than in any other year of the 1930s. In the paper, I estimate that the bonus contributed 2.5 to 3 percentage points to this growth.
My results are encouraging evidence for the efficacy of Federal Lines of Credit, since they suggest that even when a large portion of a transfer payment is a loan (roughly half in the case of the veterans' bonus), the MPC can be high. 2012 is not 1936, of course, and particular features of the 1936 economy may have contributed to unusually high spending from the bonus, specifically on durables. Still, at a minimum, my results suggest that further research on the efficacy of Federal Lines of Credit is desirable.
The Bonus March photo is from http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/images/at0058f2as.jpg
All other material is taken from my job market paper, with sources documented there. One other paper, Telser (2003), examines the 1936 bonus in detail. Telser studies a variety of time series and concludes that the bonus "brought a large measure of recovery to the economy" (p. 240).

If we need reminders that life is short and there�s not always time to say goodbye, they are all around us. Some are especially poignant.
If we need reminders that life is short and there�s not always time to say goodbye, they are all around us. Some are especially poignant.
In a courtroom in Walton County on Monday, legal representatives, grieving family members and prospective jurors will gather for the murder trial of Steven Cozzie.
The Seagrove Beach man is accused of killing a 15-year-old Georgia girl in the woods less than a half mile from the condo where her family was staying.
Had Courtney Wilkes lived, she would have turned 18 this summer.
Her death haunts me. What happened to her is one of the worst things I can imagine.
As parents our job is to raise our children, love them, shelter them, guide them and let them have increasing amounts of freedom as they become older and more responsible.
Emotionally, letting them venture farther and farther from our sides is difficult.
Intellectually, it�s even tougher.
The world is not always a safe place, and we are reminded of that with every accident, every sexual predator notification, every kidnapping.
You have no way of knowing who will cross your child�s path other than keeping them next to you 24 hours a day.
But holding them hostage to your fears is even more risky than letting them venture forth.
Whether you let the rope out at 12, 14 or 16, they will eventually be out in the world without you.
And you can only hope and pray that they return safely each time.
Now that my parents are gone and it�s too late for me to tell them, I have a new appreciation for how difficult their job was. Every day, they performed the Herculean feat of letting go of that which they cherished most and hoping it returned safely.
Every day, month after month, year after year � long after it occurred to me � they were still watching and worrying.
Now I know.
And I�m sorry I never got to tell them thanks for loving me enough to let me go and live my own life, even when my choices probably scared them to death.
My heart breaks for Courtney�s parents for what they will go through this week in a courtroom and for the rest of their lives.
No matter the verdict, nothing will fix what has been broken.
Nothing will bring back what has been lost.

Think about it,
Jack Olesker said if they went back to Eternia, Man At Arms will have taken over.
Emiliano Santalucia inhis fancomic homecoming also made Man at Arms a villain after he-man returned from space(it's possible he took his cue from Jack before we new about it)
Val Staples and Emiliano Santalucia made him a villain in the MVC volume 2 comics series (albeit it was an alternate universe MAA)
Dean Stefan/Ian Richter were planning on making him a villain in the MYP series
Scot Neitlich has made him a villain that gets killed in MOTUC (he took it from MYP but clearly it's an idea that he liked)
What is it about MAA that all these folks want him to do a heel run?
For me he was always the most loyal guy, sure it is a trope to have that insanely loyal character turn, but its so common that I think it would be better to be more of a nobody. Mekanek, Buzz Off, Sy-Klone, even Gwildor or Orko.
EDIT Emiliano had MAA killed before he-man's return, he didn't turn evil, I think I confused Teela 'hooking up' with King Hiss with turning MAA.
