The eight CEOs testifying Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee about how their companies are using billions of dollars in bailout funds may find that the hot seat is merely lukewarm. Nearly every member of the committee received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle, for a total of $1.8 million. And 18 of the lawmakers have their own personal funds invested in the companies... On the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), who is new to Congress this year and represents a state that is home to many hedge funds, insurers and other financial institutions, collected the most from these companies in the 2008 cycle at $195,350, followed by ranking member Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), who collected $116,950.  |
Maybe President Bush was smarter than we gave him credit for. We just didn't know who he was referring to.

Connecticut's Speciality Foods
| Connecticut's specialty food businesses are diverse in terms of value-added products and size of operation. There are more than 450 companies throughout the state. One of the ways Connecticut is expanding its agricultural activity is through the development of these value-added products. | What once was sold as bushel baskets of tomatoes, onions and peppers, or apples, pears and berries may now be transformed into jars of salsa, marinara sauces, jams, jellies and vinaigrettes. This union of ideas, talents and resources allows our state to showcase even more uniqueness. |

Dudleytown, CT Don't Go There!
| Dudleytown is an abandoned 18th century village in the woods of Cornwall, | Many strange tales were told about Dudleytown during the 19th century. People reported seeing strange beasts and apparitions. Corpse mutilations were reported, along with still more suspicious and unusual deaths. Soon people began to give up on Dudleytown, and it was mostly deserted by 1900. However, people still tried to live in Dudleytown. During the 1920's Dr. Dudleytown can be difficult for visitors. The site is considered dangerous by catmz@theshadowlands.net "...After plunging into the forest, we passed a huge fallen hemlock rotting away on the opposite bank of Bonney Brook, its red carcass folded over blackish rocks. Soon we reached a broken stone wall that crosses the brook. Once it had been a dam—Witches’ Dam, some now call it. Nearby, we heard a hollow moaning that we traced to a thin stream of water spouting into a rocky pool. A half-mile beyond, we crossed the brook and entered Dudleytown, which the trail guide of The Connecticut Forest and Park Association refers to only as “an abandoned community.” By then, we were far from major roads. It was so quiet we spoke in hushed tones as we poked around the doomed settlement’s stone ruins. Yet we still heard kinglets..." |

Glenn's Book Reviews #1: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WILL NOT BE TELLING YOU. “Classic” is Used Books The Movie This is a short film that was shot at the store in November of 2006. It is about a book that moves through the hands of some quirky customers. It was written and directed by Daniel Lee White (the owner's son). It also stars one of our own employees Glen! Enjoy the film! | Not on Glenn's List but certainly on mine THE NINE (I just bought my brother and myself copies. Amazon.com has the best price.)Toobin guides us through the last 15 years of court history by focusing on individual justices, and his portraits are unspoiled by hagiography. Toobin's Rehnquist has little interest in the reasoning even of his own opinions; the brilliant but pugnacious Antonin Scalia alienates potential allies; Stephen Breyer is an eternal optimist with a sometimes unrealistic belief in his own powers of persuasion; and a pompous Anthony Kennedy (Toobin's least favorite) revels in his power to shape the law.At the center of the ensemble was Sandra Day O'Connor, the former politician and Goldwater Republican who (sometimes with Kennedy) kept the court on a relatively moderate path despite the efforts of its more conservative trio -- Rehnquist, Scalia and Clarence Thomas. from The Washington Post

Where the hell's my gas tank?
I have been driving for many years . . . I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time . . . I didn't . . and I bet you didn't either!
Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered . . . Hmm, on which side is the gas filler cap? My normal solution would be to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!
Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.
If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump? If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It's that simple!
