once it is moved, it needs to be tuned, no one is going to help you with the moving costs.

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatant…Read More violation, what were his comments??
To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote:
"I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.

And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?…Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.

I've just tried to do a Google search for you and from what I've found you need to either check with…Read More your local library to see if they have one they might lend you--OR--try Audio/Visual online companies. There are some which DO rent projectors for days or weekends. I have one but just checked with my husband and at the very least it needs a replacement bulb(which are fairly expensive)--hasn't been looked at in years so there's no way I could guarantee it would work. You've definitely given me an idea, though--I'll get mine in shape at some point and rent it to folks for a nominal sum. I'm sure there are many others who have old film they'd enjoy viewing for family reunions as would my own family. Good luck. If you don't succeed for next weekend, you have other options. At the very least you might be able to have the film transposed to a DVD and distributed to your family members although that's costly too, depending on how many copies you need. Just a thought, but you could add the old footage in with some taken AT the reunion as a nice follow-up gift for the attendees?

but its starts with being good neighbors and 7 11 is not a good neighbor
-- We already did that, in 2010. Now let's get people to follow it. "The Town Board has adopted new legislation aimed at preventing artificial light from spoiling views of the night sky. Two new laws aimed at reducing pollution in Southold Town received unanimous approval from the Town Board Tuesday last week. A chorus of supporters spoke at the public hearing for the lighting law, which requires property owners planning new construction and renovations to incorporate full cut-off lighting fixtures in their plans. Those fixtures have recessed bulbs that focus all their light on the ground, shielding the night sky. The law was first proposed by the town's renewable energy committee in 2008."
Someone should do a sequel to Super Size Me http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/super_size_me/ called Slurpee Me! There are North Fork locals who live there. For their purposes it is "Fast, convenient. 7-Eleven®.

To weigh in on the original question (which is by no means absurd). My choice is Mattituck, mostly because it is a few blocks from where I live, its clean, modern and the staff is super friendly. A close second would be Southold for the same reasons (except location). It is no surprise - they are owned by the same people who, might I add, own houses and live in the Town of Southold, have kids in the school district, participate in local organizations and donate to local causes. So, as far as I am concerned, I AM shopping locally. We live in an age of franchises people... get used to it. A franchise may not look like a "mom and pop" but it can certainly be owned by a "mom and pop." Now, the only thing absurd are these comments. Recently, my family and I went for a nice long walk on the beach here in Mattituck and I was disgusted by the amount of litter I saw. Most of it was candy wrappers. I say we find Willy Wonka, hang him, and burn down his chocolate factory because, clearly, it is all HIS fault! As for "not needing" a 7-11 and borrowing from our neighbors? Its not 1957 folks and do you really think that this family would have invested their money in a new 7-11 if it wasn't going to be successful? Finally, can we get a like/dislike button for the comments? Sandy deserves one for her last comment!
4 an I opener see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven#Japan and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven
The problem is that our community is divided. United we stand, divided we fall. How would the North Fork change if there was no 7-eleven? What do we need 7-eleven for? Please don't attack me because I can live without the convenience of fast food.
