- Leto ReviewLetoDined on 9/25/2014Great food and service. Get the calamari and mussels as appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!GKH910VIPDined on 9/25/2014I am picky about italian food - and this place was amazing! The food was fantastic. The service was wonderful - our server made thoughtful suggestions and was very helpful. I highly highly recommend this place before a show - or anytime! We loved it and will certainly be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- packed at 6pmSnapDined on 9/25/2014We went here prior to seeing a show at Boston Opera (which is literally a 4 minute or less walk). It was packed with what I assume was theatre and after work crowd, i was glad i made reservations! The tables are VERY close to eachother, so close you have to put your butt on your neighbors table to squeeze in...awkward. It was quite loud too. The waiter was handsome and friendly. Drinks took a while to get to the table. My meal was fabulous though, it was a pasta stuffed with marsala braised duck, with a marsala and mushroom sauce. Unexpectedly amazing! The calamari was ok, actually, the actual calamari was good, but the sauces were not! Hubs got apple pizza, it was ok. Overall pricey, but would return when seeing another show bc locationSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bruschetta with peachesauntelissaDined on 9/23/2014We loved the bruschetta with peaches, whipped ricotta and balsamic! What a treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShellsDined on 9/21/2014My husband and I throughly enjoyed our dinner and great wine. Being from New York we are always cautious about eating Italian food anywhere other than NY. We were recommended by a NY transplant and we loved the ambience as well as the food. We highly recommend it, a must try is the Chicken Milanese and the pasta with Bolengese sauceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Food, Pretty LoudBawbVIPDined on 9/21/2014The food and service were excellent, and the look and feel of the place were cool and memorable. There was definitely a noise problem though - and we were there at 5pm on a Sunday, when it wasn't full yet. Worth noting, the entree portions are on the small side - go ahead and order one of their delicious-sounding first courses! Our only complaint: because of the way the tables are spaced, you can hear the people at the next table more clearly than the other people at your own.Special Features:
- Wonderful Food, Excellent ServicemadteapartyDined on 9/20/2014My husband and I went here for a "date night" on a saturday evening. The ambiance was lovely, and though it was a bit louder than I usually like, I had no problem being able to carry on a conversation with my husband. The waitress we had was excellent, she checked on us throughout the night but was never so present as to be overbearing. The manager came by our table to see how we were enjoying ourselves and everyone was so friendlY! Most importantly the food was incredible. My husband had the duck, which he raved about the rest of the night, and I (being a vegetarian and had a surprising number of options) had the spinich ravioli with a white sauce that was so light yet flavorful I quickly finished the large plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TeatroOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/20/2014Seating was quite tight. had to sit on a plastic chair. felt like I was eating at a cafeteria. service was good and unbelievably fast. Food was only OK given the price. menu and wine list were limited. One could be in and out of the restaurant in less than 45 minutes...and $120 lighter

- My favorite Boston restaurantHarrryDined on 9/16/2014We made reservations via Open Table but when we arrived they could not find reservation. Although the restaurant was packed, they found us a table with a smile. Love this place; fantastic food, over the top service, friendly, professional waitstaff and all this with moderately priced entrees. Their fried calamari is absolutely the best we have ever eaten. Teatro is a gem. If you are not going to a nearby theatre, wait until after the pre theatre rush is over and then enjoy the best food and service in Boston.Special Features:
- Teatro never disappoints!SilkeVIPDined on 9/16/2014It's sort of a neighborhood gem, but more... has been great, and consistent, forever!

Service was a little spotty in timing but the knowledge of our server was great, as was his recommendations. We were an hour late due to traffic on Storrow but they had a table for us anyways (we called twice to say we were still coming). It wasn't the finest table but we were happy just to be seated. Fresh ingredients, simple presentation, generous enough portions.Special Features:

- Fun vibe and great food!WineCountryVisitorDined on 9/6/2014Highly recommend Teatro. It's a cool building once you get inside.

I can see why my niece loves the place.Special Features:

We began w/ cocktails:La Valentina and Mojito Italiano. Delicious! Next came the Bruschetta w/ Peaches. It was so good! 2nd course, we enjoyed Arborio with Wild Mushrooms, Parmesan, Truffle Oil & Conchiglie w/Maine Lobster. The Arborio was done to perfection and the lobster in the butter was sweet and tender. We also ordered Parmesan Truffle Fries, which were delicious.

- Good Food Small PortionspastaloverVIPDined on 8/16/2014This was our first visit to Teatro. The restaurant is beautiful inside but quite noisy. The food was good but portions were small. I had the small plate of rigatoni bolognese and it was tasty and a decent amount for me but my boyfriend ordered the large plate of ravioli and his portion was very small. Drinks (Absolute & Cranberry) were $10.50 and very weak so that was disappointing. Service was okay; server busy waiting on large party so we waited for everything. Probably won't return since there are lots of other restaurants to try.
- Great pre-show dinnerDianneDined on 8/15/2014Really enjoyed the meals and there are many with small options or large. That is great when you are going out to a show and can't bring home leftovers. Great food and service. All the staff was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The availability of smaller portion sizes allows you to choose more things, and/or share plates, if desired. My group had the beet salad, calamari and tuna carpaccio, all of which were very good, and the mussels, which were extraordinary. Pastas (made in-house) are very good, too. Mushroom risotto was very rich and mushrooms.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing as always!HauteCuisineDined on 7/19/2014Teatro is simply amazing. I have been here more than a few times now and every time they hit the mark in both the food and service departments. I don't think I've been to a restaurant that is more consistant that this. Our server was awesome and extremely attentive to our needs and she also had a great personality. For food the sausage appetizer is by far the best and the rigatoni is one of my favorite pasta dishes ever. My only suggestion would be that they give the dessert menu a little TLC. Love this place and highly recommend it to all my friends and anyone visiting Boston and looking for a great place to have dinner.Special Features:

The wine too was superb (Annabella, I believe) and to top it off, Outstanding Service!!Special Features:

Bitten, bruised and bandaged -- this is the better case scenario after Friday night's dog attack.
"I'm ok personally, but I'm really distraught because I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm just really hurt and upset," said Katesha Curtiss.
22-year-old Katesha Curtiss was injured when her three pit bulls attacked her neighbor as she was walking her Chihuahua in their Calumet Heights neighborhood.
"I actually came in at the middle. I know once I had got up there my main focus was to get my dogs off of her and too make sure that she was all right," said Curtiss.
But it was too late.
On Saturday night, the 64-year-old is still at Stroger Hospital in critical condition with gruesome leg injuries.
"I've had my dogs for six years and this has never happened. My gates are always locked, everyone in my neighborhood knows my dogs, so for this unfortunate situation to happen, I'm like really upset and I'm really hurt because I can't just imagine what she is going through," said Curtiss.
Curtiss says the older victim lives around the corner and she's known her since she was a child. Though Curtiss was injured in the attack, she was also at fault and received nine citations from Chicago Police for failing to keep her animals restrained, licensed and properly vaccinated. Each citation carries up to a 500-dollar fine.
But don't blame the pit bulls, blame the owner -- Youtube is filled with videos from pit bull advocates, including Kevin Foster.
"Again there's so much screwed up philosophy about the way people think about pit bulls," said Foster, a pit bull advocate.
"I'm no longer going to possess any dogs at the time. I just feel like it's necessary, I have three small children and they were just for protection because there's been a lot of break ins in the neighborhood, and I was just trying to make sure that my family was protected," said Curtiss.
The pit bulls are in the custody of Animal Care and Control.

Lafayette, IN- After more than 70 years of waiting, a World War II veteran from Lafayette, Indiana, received his high school diploma on Saturday.
"It's great and I appreciate it very much," said Snyder. "I've always wanted one and I've finally got it."
Friends and family of 91-year-old Russell Snyder gathered to see the proud veteran receive his certificate of graduation.
Snyder left high school to help take care of his family during the great depression, but was drafted into the United States Air Force after being just a few credits shy completing his education.
Snyder's sons worked with Indiana State Senator Ron Alting and the Indiana Department of Education, and say they're happy to see that his father could finally receive his certificate.
"It was just always a disappointment because he intended to, it just didn't work out, and so I thought this would be a nice way to honor him and his service," said son Monte Snyder. "It was a lot of just waiting and letting everything get approved, and that he would have the opportunity to accomplish something that he had always regretted not being able to do."
It took about a year to get the certificate, but after so long, Russell says it was worth the wait.

Election 2012: The bottom line for your portfolio
No matter who wins in November, our advisors have you covered.
With the presidential election just a day away, the headlines are full of the latest polls, debate gaffes, and battle plans. But how will the results affect investors like you?
Four of InvestorPlace Media's top advisors sat down and discussed how the election will shape the investing landscape. Here's what they had to say:
Hilary Kramer: An Obama victory will boost health care, clean energy
Strategy: Picking growth winners in a volatile market
Her take: If Mitt Romney wins, I would look for opportunities in energy, especially U.S. drilling companies. I would expect to see much more natural gas production, boosted by the newest technologies, such as fracking.
One of my favorite plays in that space is Halliburton (HAL). Romney has also pledged to reduce the size of the federal government and lighten regulation, which means financial companies would likely benefit. Specifically, the big banks such as JPMorgan (JPM) and Citigroup (C) should do especially well. They've been struggling to comply with new financial reform laws, and some of these regulations could be rolled back under a Romney presidency.
If President Obama is re-elected, I think you have to look at hospital and health care services companies as "Obamacare" continues to be implemented more broadly. There is plenty to debate about the specifics, but the bottom line is that more people would have coverage. You'd also have to consider green energy. Companies that provide air-pollution reduction and control services should thrive as Obama continues to push for clean air and NOx emission reduction.
One name I've followed for a while is CECO Environmental (CECE), which helps companies remove airborne contaminants and pollutants from some of the largest industrial facilities in the world. Fuel Tech (FTEK) provides these services to utilities, industrial and energy companies and should thrive in a second Obama term.
Louis Navellier: A ramp into year-end -- either way
Strategy: Growth-stock investing focused on fundamentals
His take: The market is likely to do just fine no matter who is elected. While the major indices typically stumble in early October in election years, this dip is both temporary and an opportunity. In fact, about half an election year's average gains are made between the October lows and year-end. So regardless of who becomes the next president, I expect certainty to return to the market in November.
With that said, there are a few areas that will outperform depending on who sits in the Oval Office. If Mitt Romney is elected, I expect to buy more domestic energy stocks, since one of his main objectives is to create more jobs in the energy sector. If President Obama is re-elected, I expect that blue-chip companies will ramp up stock buybacks as the tax rate on dividends may increase. This shift will boost earnings and make this class of stocks more attractive. We may also see a stronger outlook for global stocks that have a tax advantage compared to U.S. companies.
Ahead of the election, an investor's best defense is a strong offense -- this is the time of year when fundamentals matter most. If you're not sure how to evaluate a stock based on its fundamentals, I have an easy-to-use proprietary screening tool, Portfolio Grader, which rates stocks across a number of fundamental criteria. Take a look and see how your portfolio stacks up!
Dan Wiener: Energy, industrial stocks will love a Romney win
Strategy: Unlocking upside from Vanguard mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
His take: No matter who wins on Nov. 6, I don't see interest rates moving higher or lower in the near term, so yields will remain punk. That means high-yielding stocks such as the battleship balance sheet companies owned by funds like Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX) and Vanguard Equity Income (VEIPX) will remain in demand.
A Romney win will most likely mean "drill, drill, drill." I'd expect investors to bid up prices of stocks in the energy sector, so a fund like Vanguard Energy (VGENX) should do well. Ditto companies in heavily regulated industries like chemicals, which may see an easing of restrictions, so sector ETFs like Vanguard Industrials ETF (VIS) and Vanguard Materials ETF (VAW) could benefit.
A second Obama term should be fine for financials, as there's no uncertainty about what's going to happen in the sector -- Dodd-Frank is already on the books and stays in place. So, Vanguard Financials ETF (VFH) could be a good bet.
No matter who wins the White House, just the fact that the unease and uncertainty around the election will be over (unless we have another "hanging chads" moment) should be good for the markets overall. So, while it's fun to speculate over which sectors will rise and which will fall, my preference as always is to stay diversified.
Richard Band: Dividends are still king
Strategy: Low-risk, long-term investing with dividend opportunities
His take: Despite the coming tax changes, dividend stocks still offer income, appreciation, and an admirable level of safety.
The balance of power favors Democrats no matter who wins the election. Democrats will control the Senate and the White House during the lame-duck session, so they can force concessions from the Republicans by threatening to take us over the fiscal cliff well into 2013.
I expect investors will face at least some tax increases in 2013. But I don't believe the dividend tax will go up as much as Wall Street had feared earlier; a ceiling of 20% or 25% seems more probable now.
Thus, I see a buying opportunity shaping up over the next few weeks in high-dividend stocks -- especially those yielding 3% or more. Good values cut across sector and industry lines. Some of my favorites include PG&E Corp. (PCG) in the utility space; McDonald's (MCD) among the restaurants; Intel (INTC) in the tech sector; and Chevron (CVX) among the oils.

Dan Wiener: Top 10 Best & Worst Vanguard Funds
Richard Band: 3 Things to Do Now to Avoid Higher Taxes in 2013
Vote Romney today.
What if it is the same administration?
Maybe they could be repairing the damage done to the nation DURING THE FRENCH AND INDIAN/ REVOLUTIONARY/CIVIL/WWI/WWII/KOREA/VIET NAM/GULF WAR 1/IRAQ/AFGANISTAN/LEADING FROM BEHIND IN LIBYA/AND THE WAR ON DRUGS?
Just whom repairs the damage from giving hundreds of billions to companies that WERE LAZILY HANDED THOSE FUNDS BY A GOVERNMENT OF LAWYERS THAT DID NOT HAVE THE FORESIGHT TO HAVE CONTRACTUAL CONDITIONS TO THOSE MONIES THAT ACTUALLY FORCED THE FRUITION OF THE ORIGINAL GOAL INTENDED (U.S. CITIZEN EMPLOYMENT) WHEN TOSSING AROUND THAT MONEY?
Katie, Obamacare lessens the dependency on Medicare and Medicaid, and will save the American tax payers billions in the long run reducing our tax burden significantly.
Obamacare allows children up to 26 to stay on their parents insurance plan, so every time one falls out of a dorm window tax payers wont flip the bill in the emergency room.
Obamacare allows those with pre-existing conditions to purchase insurance and not go bankrupt and get on medicare, burdening the tax payers.
Republicans who have voiced favor for a individual mandate for health insurance in the past,
Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Tommy Thompson, Chuck Grassley, Bob Bennet, Orin Hatch, Jim DeMint, and the Heritage Foundation. If you think voting Republican will repeal Obamacare your sadly mistaken, Republicans secretly love it.
Back in the good old bad days, everyone worked, starved, or had someone else who worked and supported them. Family structures were like that. People had children who they hoped would take care of them when they could no longer work / support themselves.
The working class has to support those who do not work as well as those who choose not to work, or are wealthy. The poor and the wealthy both are supported by those who work for a living generating goods / services. The very rich and the very poor both consume far more goods and services than they provide back to the economy. They are both net consumers and not producers. When you have too many of each of these groups, you'll have less productive economic activity.
The economy works by the transfer of goods and services to each other. When money is taken out of circulation by those of us fortunately enough to be able to save / hoard money, it reduces the amount of money in circulation.
When money is saved / hoarded, it takes money out of the public bucket and reduces the amount left in it for everyone else. The Great Depression was one of those situations where most of the money was out of the bucket (as are recessions). No money, no jobs, no spending.
The government puts money back into the system (bucket) to get money moving again (expansion of the money supply courtesy of the FED). They get it back as the money moves from one person's pocket to another's by the way of taxes. However, money stashed away doesn't generate much activity in the economy. The wealthy shouldn't have been allowed to have that much money that they can't even spend it all in their lifetimes in the first place. The problem isn't that there isn't enough wealth. It's the uneven distribution of it. Money put into the hands of those who spend it creates more economic activity than those who just invests it.
"Psched: You really need to kick the MSNBC habit. The wealthy are a diverse group. Most work extremely hard and many hours per week. Most I know grew up poor or came from another country for the opportunities that were not available in their country. The American Dream, oh that's right, Obama wants to kill that. Job One."
It's like the military. Having a commander is useful to direct activities and resources, but having a lot of them, is overkill and they all need someone who actually does the work.
I don't "work" for a living. I direct others to do the work for me, but I know my contribution is merely providing opportunities for others who do the actual tasks.
The American Dream was once "to own a home," 10 years ago, and now it's to have a steady job as the defining criteria as surveyed recent as what defines middle class. The middle class has been steadily losing buying power since 1999 when adjusted for inflation. We went from a one wage earner family in the 50's & 60's where minimum wage was able to sustain a middle class lifestyle, to having a two wage earner working 3 jobs at minimum wage barely being able to sustain themselves. At the same time there are more and more millionaires and billionaires who do little more than to try to find new ways to amuse themselves.
The middle class is slowly being bled to death until we equal the workforce of third world countries.
"That is a "bucket" of something.
Case and point: We had a tree fall in front of our house. The city sent out workers to remove the tree. They had 1 guy holding the flag on each side of the tree, two guys watching and one guy sawing. Any business person would cringe at that inefficiency or just look at the DMV (or healthcare next year).."
Yes the government is inefficient, but it's not in the business to make money. If it were, it would be communist. Government spending is always wasteful. The military is the case in point as are all the government departments (except the IRS). They all lose money. But at the same time, would you want your military run like the credit rating agencies (that certified junk mortgages as AAA rated investments), or left to the "honesty" of the marketplace (where profit comes before consumers)? The government also funds (loses money) on research which no private company would spend money on like space technology, or nuclear energy. Road, bridges, water projects, conservation restoration (after being pilfered by private enterprise to make a fast buck), healthcare, Social Security, education, etc are just a few things that aren't profitable enough for private enterprise to invest in. Could they do it cheaper? No doubt but that also means more auditors / inspectors and more overhead costs. It's a case of how much do you spend to how much you save equation.
You really need to kick the MSNBC habit. The wealthy are a diverse group. Most work extremely hard and many hours per week. Most I know grew up poor or came from another country for the opportunities that were not available in their country. The American Dream, oh that's right, Obama wants to kill that. Job One.

The NY Times: Against the Minimum Wage Before It Was For It
I had lunch with a couple of Republican Congressmen a week or so ago. They said the Democrats are desperate to talk about anything other than Obamacare, and have decided that their best distraction is the minimum wage. So we can expect to hear a lot about raising the minimum wage over the next ten months. The New York Times editorial board, a reliable mouthpiece for the left wing of »
The New York Times Misleads On Economics, Too [Updated]
Paul and others have devastated David Kirkpatrick's dishonest reporting on Benghazi in the New York Times. Kirkpatrick is obviously trying to minimize the Benghazi scandal in order to lend a hand to the Democratic Party in general, and Hillary Clinton in particular. Simultaneously, another controversy has been brewing over dishonest reporting by the Times, this time in the field of economics. I wrote about it here: Times reporter David Kocieniewski »
Get Your Hayek On
It's been a while since we checked in on Friedrich Hayek (though I did write about him in connection with Obamacare in one of my first Forbes.com columns), but it is worth drawing your attention to a short series of video lectures about Hayek from Tyler Cowen of George Mason University. In addition to writing an occasional column for the business pages of the New York Times, Cowen and his »
The Obama economic boomlet — is it finally here?
While most of us have fixated, quite justifiably, on various Obamacare fiascos, the U.S. economy has been taking off. James Pethokoukis has the details. He notes that the economy grew by a revised 4.1 percent annual pace in the third quarter. Economists expect growth during 2014 at a rate of 3.0 to 3.5 percent. Pethokoukis thinks there's a good chance that 2014 will be the best for the American economy »
The pivot that isn't
Charles Lane writes about President Obama's "pivot" to economic inequality. Like other commentators, Lane misses the fact that there is no pivot. Addressing inequality has been the organizing theme of the Obama administration — from the stimulus to Obamacare to "regionalism." Until now, Obama has tried to conceal his redistributionist agenda. Indeed, when a congressman told Michelle Obama that the stimulus plan was the best anti-poverty program in a generation, »
Who Are the "Rich"? We Are
The Associated Press discovers something that Scott and I pointed out quite a few years ago in our paper, "The Truth About Income Inequality": the "rich" are all around us: Fully 20 percent of U.S. adults become rich for parts of their lives, wielding extensive influence over America's economy and politics, according to new survey data. These "new rich," made up largely of older professionals, working married couples and more »
About That Jobs Report [Updated]
Last week's jobs report was hailed by some as good news, and, with a net gain of 203,000 jobs (pending correction), it could have been worse, even with 41% of those jobs in the public sector [UPDATE: See clarification below]. But in the larger perspective, the jobs picture remains bleak. James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute provides this sobering context: 1. There are still 1.1 million fewer employed Americans »
The Minimum Wage and Obamacare: A Common Denominator
Liberals are again campaigning to raise the minimum wage. The know-nothingism behind their position is appalling; not too many years ago, both the New York Times and the Washington Post editorialized that the minimum wage should be repealed. That was in the 1980s, before partisanship overcame everything else. Here's the thing about the minimum wage: it doesn't do much damage, as long as you set it safely below the amount »
Obama Pivots to Income Inequality
Today President Obama announced to an audience at the far-left Center for American Progress that he will spend the remainder of his term in office focusing on income inequality. He began by saying that middle-class Americans are struggling, and the American Dream is threatened. He is right. Statistics on the White House's own web site indicate that since Obama took office, median family income has fallen, per capita income has »
Confessions of a quantitative easer
The Wall Street Journal publishes an important column by Andrew Huszar. Huszar had worked at the Fed for seven years, until early 2008, when he left for Wall Street. He was recruited in the spring of 2009 to return to the Fed from Wall Street to execute what turned out to be "an unprecedented shopping spree." He took the job "managing what was at the heart of QE's bond-buying spree–a »
Oh Yeah, Record Poverty Levels, Too
Thank goodness we don't have a Republican in the White House! If we did, the country would be in awful shape. Not only would millions of people be out of work with millions more losing their health care coverage, we would also be experiencing record levels of poverty. By one measure, California has the nation's highest poverty rate, with the District of Columbia in second place. Go figure! I guess »
Year of the Unemployed Woman
Via Drudge, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that women are dropping out of the labor force in droves. And, no, it's not because times are so good they can stay home and bake: American women participated in the nation's labor force in September at a rate that matched the lowest level in 24 years, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, »
The wealth of Washington
During the tourist season here in Washington, D.C., it sometimes occurs to me that if our tourists drove around the many wealthy neighbors in the D.C. area, the reaction would cause the Tea Party movement of 2010 to look like an ordinary tea party. Such is the wealth of Washington. I had the same thought when I read this post by John Gabriel at Ricochet called "D.C. Incomes Boom While »
Jeff Sessions Blasts Obamanomics
Regular readers of this site know that I am a big fan of Senator Jeff Sessions. Sessions has been the most effective opponent of the Senate Gang's immigration bill; his opposition is based primarily on the damage that a massive influx of new, low-skill immigrants would do to America's working men and women. Sessions has now embarked on a series of speeches on the economy, and how it has been »
Why such a pathetic recovery?
The "Age of Obama," as John noted yesterday, is marked by record poverty, declining incomes, unprecedented numbers depending on federal poverty programs, and millions leaving the labor force in despair. To be sure, Obama inherited a deep recession. But economists John Taylor and Lee Ohanian (both of the Hoover Institution) remind us that "nearly all recoveries following severe U.S. recessions have featured robust economic recoveries that rapidly restored real income, »
The Age of Obama, By the Numbers
The Census Bureau reported today that a record 46.5 million Americans are currently living in poverty, more than at any time in our history. That is fewer people, however, than the 23,116,928 households now receiving food stamps, more than the entire Northeastern United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania). Let's add one more: during President Obama's first term, median income of »
Winter for Summers; Yellen Springtime!
So Larry Summers has withdrawn his candidacy to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, presumably paving the way for Janet Yellen to be nominated. We surveyed this controversy last month, noting how liberalism's obsession with gender and identity politics, and not economic views, was driving the matter. Beyond this being a victory for the identity-politics mindset at the center of liberalism today (not-so-idle question: will a Democratic president »

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Four albums on three CDs includes My Lord What A Morning, Golden Records Vol. 1 & the 2 on 1 Jump Up Calypso & The Midnight Special. 51 tracks. The 3 CD's are housed in a slipcase. Sony/BMG.
Album Notes
This box set from calypso singer/political figure Harry Belafonte contains three albums from the early-1960s, MY LORD, WHAT A MORNING, GOLDEN RECORDS, and JUMP UP CALYPSO, and includes his hits "Banana Boat (Day-O)" and "Jamaica Farewell."
Curiously, given the title of this repackaging of three European Harry Belafonte CDs, none of them is precisely an "original" release. And, in fact, they cover material from four, not three LPs, plus a couple of other stray tracks. But such qualifications are only to suggest that 3 Originals actually contains more music than you might expect. At a total running time of nearly three hours, the boxed set includes: a 1993 CD called Golden Records, Vol. 1, which is a reissue of the 14-track 1964 German LP compilation Golden Records (containing identical tracks, but in a different sequence) that gathers together Belafonte's biggest singles hits ("Jamaica Farewell," "Mary's Boy Child," "Banana Boat [Day-O]," "Mama Look a Boo-Boo [Shut Your Mouth ' Go Away]," "Cocoanut Woman," and "Island in the Sun") along with other favorites; a 1995 CD reissue of Belafonte's 1960 album My Lord What a Mornin', subtitled "Belafonte Sings Spirituals," which contains the original LP's 11 tracks plus five bonus tracks drawn from other LPs from the artist; and the 1995 CD 2Gether on 1, a two-fer containing his 1961 calypso album Jump Up Calypso and his 1962 folk album The Midnight Special. That adds up to 51 tracks, but four recordings are repeated either on the hits compilation or among the bonus tracks. Still, that leaves 47 different performances, ranging from familiar calypso hits like "Banana Boat (Day-O)" to a cappella spirituals and the singer's reworked versions of folk standards like "Michael Row the Boat Ashore." He recorded much more than that, of course, but 3 Originals succeeds in presenting a big chunk of his best work, and upon release it was available at modest prices in U.S. mail order catalogs. ~ William Ruhlmann

What is the purpose of education?: The most important question in the education revolution
It is recently trendy to say "its time for an education revolution". So before we get these lofty ideas about all the things wrong with the system and how to fix it, lets talk about what the purpose of education is. Once decided (will it ever be truly decided?) then, and only then, can we create a proper educational system.
So lets hear some options! Whats the purpose of education???
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 11 2013: In the late 19th century, most of Europe began to provide elementary education in reading, writing, and arithmetic, partly because politicians believed that education was needed for orderly political behavior. As more people became literate, they realized that most secondary education was only open to those who could afford it. Having created primary education, the major nations had to give further attention to secondary education by the time of World War 1.
As secondary education became in vogue, students were schooled in the needs of the military and industry of the time. To some extent that remains true even today. When the mission statements are read you will find they say something about preparing the student for entry into the work place ... preparing the student for further studies ... finding their place in society ... etc ...
Taken from Wikipedia: Presumably every generation, since the beginning of human existence, somehow passed on its stock of values, traditions, methods and skills to the next generation. The passing on of culture is also known as enculturation and the learning of social values and behaviours is socialization. The systematic provision of learning techniques to most children, such as literacy, has been a development of the last 150 or 200 years, or even last 50 years in some countries.
If accepted then education is the passing of information from one generation to the next.
The problem we face today is that education is no longer a cultural mandate ... In the US it has become a political tool. The Federal Government has usurped the powers once belonging to the states. The remaining powers in education once was given to the local school boards now belongs to the state. Left out of the equation are the educators and the parents. A pity. The Socialization of American Education is all but complete.
Funding / grants all come from the Federal government ... and as we all know he who has the gold rules.
I wish you well
Sep 18 2013: > If accepted then education is the passing of information from one generation to the next.
1) It is passing of information from all preceding generations rather than from only one.
2) Concept of "generation" is very abstract and it misses an important aspect, which is very significant for practical understanding of education: the de-facto hierarchy of means in this generation by ability to informationally influence on the people. Different concrete layouts of this hierarchy have different impacts on what behavioral information is passed through continuity of generations and what is blocked.
Corresponding to that we can talk about conception of education or informational policy in society (or conception of selection of the information from the global culture -- if culture is understood as all information existing in society). This conception exists de-facto independent of whether anybody has designed it consciously (to execute particular conception of ruling) or it has been emerged spontaneously and unconsciously (and thus can be modeled by the sociologists to observe the trends and share or not share it with public).
Corresponding to that we can talk about presence or absence of the informational sovereignty of people. This kind of sovereignty is available to the people only if they are educated in a sociology, that includes these aspects of informational safety. So the problem consists of two components:
A) Develop a useful sociology that is able to grant informational safety and sovereignty to the people of the Earth
B) Open possibilities for all people to learn this useful sociology
You basically was focusing only on the second portion of this problem. Could you share your perspectives on the point A? Thank you.
Sep 18 2013: Andrei, I have had three other people read your reply .... we all think you have agreed with me but want to say it in another way. Is that right? Second ... Is Point A your A and B above not included in the original question?
A) Develop a useful sociology that is able to grant informational safety and sovereignty to the people of the Earth
Sociology is the scientific study of human social behavior and its origins, development, organizations, and institutions. It is a social science which uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about human social actions, social structure and functions.. Why do I need to redefine that?
Are you saying that we should not have American / British / Asian / Jewish / etc / cultures but instead have a Earth culture? Will not work.
General Eisenhower upon seeing the Jewish death camps ordered movies, photos, and complete documentation and all German citizen for 100 miles to be made to tour the death camps. He said that future generations will deny that this ever happened and will have it removed from school text and history. He was right about those wishing to revise history and erase that event.
I fear that revisionists would do the same to "world history"
There is also the relationship to Archaeology. Archaeology has various goals, which range from studying human evolution to cultural evolution and understanding culture history.
I am not so sure that only the educated can explore these areas ... how about genealogy and the family history that is incorporated in that family tree.
Naw .. I will leave it as it is and have many small parts that comprise a whole .. each of those small parts have a significant role and importance and should be address and respected separately.
What was this threat about again????
Thanks for the reply. Bob.

HAYDEN, Idaho -- The Northern Lakes Fire Department has the only dog in North Idaho certified by the federal government for search and rescue missions.
Pete, a 4-year-old black Labrador retriever, is trained to sniff out a missing hunter or a victim trapped under rubble. He and his handler, Pat Riley, were on stand-by at one point to help the victims of Superstorm Sandy.
The FEMA certification means Pete is the only N. Idaho search and rescue dog that can go to federal emergency scenes. He has helped out at three of them, but has been on standby to help on countless occasions.

Webkit everywhere
Mozilla Foundation's Gecko used to be "the" choice for embedding a HTML renderer into any application. Having the very popular Firefox web browser as its main success case, the Gecko engine seems to provide quite efficient web content rendering times. However, what the KDE project started as their own web content rendering engine (KHTML and friends) was transformed by Apple into Webkit, the engine used in their Safari web browser.
After porting Safari (and also Webkit, consequently) to Windows, it is pretty clear that the engine released by Apple is actually extremely portable. Additionally, Alp Toker just showed in Bossa Conference 2008 that Webkit's performance is excellent, while also keeping a small memory footprint.
Web 2.0-ready
Toker stressed the point of asynchronous operation support, that must be available in future mobile devices. It is really a requirement, because users should be able to close (or lose) their connections at any time and keep working on the web apps they were using, eventually re-syncing when connection is restablished.
Webkit can play HTML5 videos without any proprietary plug-ins, with GStreamer. Also, it can reverse the current concept of GUIs with small web portions, into full GUIs designed with HTML5 forms. These GUIs would look exactly like the graphics toolkit used, as Alp showed in his speak at the event, with "perfectly native widget styling".
Webkit is still under heavy development – which isn't all bad news. It has been experiencing a lot of "project-wide refactoring", which is currently encouraged, according to the developer. Among its not-so-usual ports are OpenMoko – quite a recurring word in this edition of Bossa Conference – and, tentatively, the OLPC and the iLiad e-paper.

What comes after Siri? A web that talks back.

Instead of connecting people to people as Facebook or even some of the cooler services like Turntable.fm do, the web of the future will connect machines to machines and connect those machines back to people. What Om calls the "alive web" is still people talking to other people, but the next generation of the web is far more interesting. It's when machines start talking to each other and then to people.

And as much as she'd thought about escaping, Jamaica is home. Except it isn't very hospitable for Raquelle and Jordin's love. This is not a place where they can walk down the street holding hands.
Raquelle says sometimes when she and Jordin are walking down the street with a group of friends, a man passing by will cat-call Jordin, making sexual comments. Raquelle doesn't understand it. Maybe because Jordin wears male-identified clothing, they need to bring her down? It makes Raquelle nervous but she keeps a strong face for Jordin.

Trust me, she's no Palin fan, and she's perfectly fine with criticizing Palin, but she's had it with the sexist attacks. This isn't a bad piece, considering it comes from a lib who really doesn't like Palin. The one glaring joke in here is the suggestion that Hillary Clinton has suffered the same sexist abuse as Palin. She has experienced some, but nothing compared with what Palin has had to endure.
More importantly, the sexism Clinton has faced has come predominantly from the left. During the 2008 primary race between Clinton and Barack Obama MSNBC stood for: Misogyny Shoveled Nightly By Chris(Matthews, and a cast of others).

Oakley Cyclist Bradley Wiggins Pedals His Way To Victory At The Paris-Nice Race
Spanning eight days and covering 155.5 kilometers, the 70th edition of the Paris-Nice was no walk (or ride) in the park. Oakley rider Bradley Wiggins found this out first hand, narrowly riding away with the overall victory by a margin of just eight seconds. The 31-year-old Bradley outlasted his Dutch rival, Lieuwe Westra, in the final and decisive mountain time trial stage, finishing just two seconds ahead, securing the overall title for the first time in his career.

Cycling stars Simon Gerrans and Fabian Cancellara were the tip of the charge, taking the first and second position at Milano San Remo this past weekend in the first-ever road race to see the brand new Oakley Radar Lock performance eyewear piece in action.
The Right To Give: Oakley Cyclist Clara Hughes Supports The 'Right To Play' Charity In a Huge Way
Some North Americans will never truly understand the devastation and hardships that take place in African nations such as Rwanda. Hollywood tries to depict the sad reality of the issues sweeping the African continent, but rarely is the full effect of troubling problems ever shown. Canadian Clara Hughes has taken notice and pledged to do something about it. The Oakley Olympic cyclist, speed skater and now humanitarian has teamed up with Oakley Canada in pledging to donate the entirety of her retainer payment as well as any Olympic victory bonuses received in 2012 to the Right To Play charity, aimed at aiding the Rwandan people.

Comedy GOLD! Liberal analyst SHOCKED to realize her health insurance premium just went up.
Liberal political analyst for ABC and CNN Donna Brazile tweeted with much frustration this morning that her health insurance premium went up.
Just got off the phone with my health care provider asking them to explain why my premium jumped up. No good answer!
Naturally, it didn't take conservatives long to explain it to her:
I can't help but find it hilarious that liberals got exactly what they asked for and are now mystified by the results. We told you this would happen. We told you…

It's another UnSQL Friday. On a Wednesday. But that's okay, UnSQL isn't as hoitey-toitey as T-SQL Tuesday…
This week's assignment, since I've chosen to accept it, is to blog about tech companies that I feel are getting it right. When Jen put up her poll and sent out the request for votes, I'll admit that there were only one or two companies for which I didn't vote, and that was because I hadn't heard of them. The companies I'd like to mention directly are the four that I feel have boosted my career the most.
SQL Sentry, Red-Gate, Quest Software and MSSQLTips. Can you guess what these have got in common? These wonderful companies are the four original sponsors of SQL Cruise.
Think about it: all of these companies went out on a limb (Sorry, Brent and Tim, it's true…) to sponsor a new kind of training. A training on a cruise. When I told our IT Director about SQL Cruise, he laughed. After I had won the contest and asked if he'd pay to send me down, he laughed again. I don't think anybody in his right mind thought that any training would happen on a cruise.
Anybody'd be wrong.
SQL Server learning happened around the clock. Being trapped on a vessel with 16 or so other people with similar professional interests, goals, and drive… you couldn't help but learn. Folks sat together for meals, went on excursions at shore, hung out around the pool and the bar. Conversations would ebb and flow between family life and clustered servers, favorite books and execution plans. And so it's these four companies that I felt got the SQL Server community in that moment, and I'm glad that they took a chance on Tim and Brent. And while it's sad to see that MSSQLTips didn't sponsor the upcoming SQL Cruise season, it is fantastic to see Idera and Confio join the ranks of sponsors.
Most of all, I hold SQL Sentry in the highest regard, because if it weren't for their contest, I wouldn't have gone on the cruise and (more than likely) would have not decided to take this career path. SQL Sentry's "getting it" had a life-altering affect on me. I'm not at all surprised that they topped Jen's poll: I'm living proof that they're doing it right.
Thank you, Red-Gate, Quest Software, MSSQLTips. And thank you again, SQL Sentry. Please keep on getting it right.

Tortious Interference: What does that mean?
Alright, Adam Knight the Aggie Graduate with a BA in Political Science, here to talk to you for a minute about this whole "Baylor-suing-the-SEC-so-ATM-can't-leave-the-Big 12″ thing!
First things first: For those who don't know, Texas A&M IS LEAVING the Big 12 and going to play in the SEC in 2012. As far as official documentation goes, Texas A&M followed all the rules, The SEC Followed all the rules, and last week the Big 12 said, "We hate to see you go, but do what you think is best and we, what's left of the Big 12 and it's member schools promise we won't sue you or the SEC cause you're leaving us."
Earlier this week, the SEC said, "Our Presidents voted, and we are welcoming Y'all Aggies into the South Eastern Conference. That is, unless someone says they are gonna try to sue us."
And the Aggies Rejoiced!!! Until Ken Starr*, The President of Baylor, got involved. Ken took it upon himself to call ALL of the SEC Presidents, and tell them, "If you take the Aggies from the Big 12, I'm gonna SUE YOU! and I may not win, but I will cost you an arm, a leg, a couple of million dollars, and a lot of time trouble and headaches, just call your boys in Arkansas, and talk to William Jefferson Clinton!!" (I'm paraphrasing, but I like to picture Ken Starr as a pent up little Elmer Fudd-type, with a disturbing fixation on the definition of what constitutes sexual intercourse.)
Well, the SEC had told Texas A&M, that the Aggies were gonna be in the SEC, unless someone said they're gonna sue, and there's Baylor shaking their paws, yelling sic em from the banks of the Brazos, and the Aggies aren't officially in the SEC, yet and still.
Well I'm glad you asked, Ken Starr and the Baylor Dance team are basing their suit on Tortious Interference, which is the "Intentional interference with contractual relations." To have a suit, Baylor must prove that they were in a contract with TAMU, then they have to prove that TAMU broke that contract, then they have to show damages from the broken contract, and then Baylor has to show that the SEC directly and intentionally made TAMU break that contract.
And logic tells me they have NO SUIT, Baylor and the Big 12 have a contract, as of last week TAMU and the Big 12 have a contract thru June 30, 2012, SEC told TAMU that they couldn't talk til TAMU had settled any contractual issues with Big 12, TAMU and Big 12 agreed to dissolve their contract, and everything was fine UNTIL… OU said they thinking about leaving too, Then Baylor Cries FOUL and here we are today.
Holy CRAP, I completely and totally agree with a sports writer! This guy, CLAY TRAVIS, is 100 percent spot on, in fact as I was writing this, I was texted a link to a texags.com post that linked to this Outkickthecoverage.com article. READ IT!!! It really explains what I said and more, with better technical terms and it also has a better timeline. IN FACT, now I wish I'd truly just linked to his article instead of spending an hour writing this.
In CONCLUSION:
I hope Mr Silve and Mr Loftin CALL BAYLOR'S BLUFF. There is not tortious interference, everyone practiced good CYA on this deal except for the shortsighted Baylor Bears. Now they get whoever will take them, GO SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE!!!
Looks like Baylor won't be able to afford football stadium renovations without help from the government, because the Aggies won't be back in Waco every other year to pack the visiting seats, alumni seats and student seats of Floyd Casey Stadium, for a long long long time. (Baylor attendance is attrocious, there were 20,000 more fans at the UT San Antonio Game last weekend, Baylor needs ticket revenue from Aggies driving to Waco, and they just flushed it down the litigation drain.)
-Adam Knight '98
*YES IT IS the same Ken Starr, that spent millions of tax dollars as a special investigator for the Attorney General. He was tasked to investigate Bill Clinton's involvement in Whitewater real estate dealings, discovered no wrongdoing, but instead found out and focused on what Willie did with Monica Lewinsky and that's how Bill got impeached for perjury and obstruction, Sic em, KEN!

Its been about 2 months. There was no agreed time frame, but he has posted of few of the photographs on social media sites, but only one has been a proper photo for my portfolio. And this one photo, I stumbled upon. He did tag me in like 2. I mean this was a long shoot. Where are the rest of the pictures? LOL. He is a great photographer but I dont think I will work with him again. I didnt like not receiving a reply from to my email. And you know with tech today, it told me that he read it.
I cant say if he is well known, that was my first time working with him. And Ive only been freelancing for a few months. Almost a year. But Im a newbie, so I dont know whos who. But he is on MM and he books quite a bit of shoots.
You should (very politely) email him again and request print size quality images of your work (especially ones you think you might wanna use for a physical portfolio) and tell him that's the purpose as a prompt. Ask him to email the pictures to you.
I have a couple of photographers I've worked with as a team before. Very nice people, excellent photographers and very accommodating to my requests, however, they tend to post all the images on Facebook and I can only assume (since there is a lack of communication on their ends) they expect the team members to save the small pixelated images from there. It's irksome that I've had to email them to request better, larger copies, but I'm nice about it and so they respond nicely and deliver what I request.
Unprofessional, yes, but sometimes it doesn't readily occur to people what they *should* be doing for their work partners. If it's all not worth putting up with, definitely don't work with him again. If it weren't for the fact that I've gotten some amazing, significantly port boosting images from my pair, I'd have moved on already. I keep in contact though and hope to work with them again, because I know they'll deliver awesomeness, every time; the little bit of frustration is worth it.
I am in the midst of creating contracts. I was going to do it just for individual freelance clients and bridal jobs, but I wondering should I do it for TFP photo shoots now. A lot of the time these TFP jobs are spur of the moment. I dont want to inconvenience anyone or rather, make them feel pressured but at the same time, I WANT MY PICTURES because as you stated, I've held up my end of bargain. It just really sucks to not get your half.
It's never a good feeling to be of inconvenience, but a memo will cover your butt. Regardless of how weird it may seem for a test shoot, you're the one at loss with no photos to prove the time, gas, and effort you spent on that FREE shoot. If they don't want to sign it, you know to not work with them One to two months is the longest I'll wait for pictures.
I see what you did there. I concur.
What i do for last minute TF requests is fire them an email with specific questions that need to be answered. This includes concept for the shoot, make up style and examples, start time and duration, number and profile of models, if hairstyling is needed, size of prints and number of prints, how many looks, any close ups showing make up, high or low res images, location, is a makeup station with appropriate lighting present etc etc etc. If you carry out a basic search on MM under deal memo and also a similar question to your OP you'll come up with tons of info you can use and customise. Professional photogs will have no issues with your questions. You will then be able to weed out the unserious and unprofessional characters by their responses or lack of communication. Also looking through their profile and referencing who they have worked with in addition to what i mentioned will try to minimise this unfortunate and very common negative experiences.....however it is not fool proof im afraid. Despite all your efforts in pre shoot prep you'll still encounter these nuisance vermin along the way and i would advice you to shrug it off. With time you should be able to build up a nice and professional relationship with a number of professional photogs and create a solid portfolio for yourself. It might not feel like that now but this shoot is a good learning curve for yourself and will help you evolve.
Your questions should not inconvenience anyone as you are being asked to give them your time (most valuable commodity in my book), energy, skills, finance(through products, tools, transport) etc. Therefore it is imperative you hone your demands as adviced above to ensure you will be compensated adequately for it.
You should at very least receive a set of contacts (digital or otherwise) within a few days of the shoot. If the photographer has enough time to do a test shoot, then they should have enough time to generate some low res contacts to email to the participants. This gives everyone rapid feedback on the shoot.
The above is the correct answer. You can use either a Deal Memo or a Letter of Agreement; both are similar. See Deal Memos at Film Underground and Letter of Agreement at the Graphic Artists Guild for more.
You should also receive a copy of any Model Agreement along with any images since you'll be making use of the model's likeness.
Edit: Here is a sample Letter of Agreement, based on the Graphic Artists Guild lette. I make no claims regarding the effectiveness of this letter. Please note that it relies on industry standards PLUS and UPDIG for licensing and delivery of the images.
"Reasonable" is relative & really needs to be discussed before you commit. Because people here on MM will tell you anywhere from 2 days to 2 months to 2 years.
I'm really glad you are asking this pinch of pretty and it's very helpful to read other's advice and experiences.
I have a question to add and I think I will try adding it here before making a new forum b.c it's sort of relative.
So a photog I worked with a few times (twice TF, twice paid) has never given me any CD and I asked a few times, but he's been too busy. Finally I had contacted him letting him no it would not matter if the photos are edited, I just need a few recent examples of work to submit to a fashion week jury. He gave me a link to his site that he uploaded everything on along with the password, but asked me not to publish anything that wasn't edited. I honestly prefer the non edited photos, the ones that are seem to have the blurred skin look and it doesn't show the contouring and eye makeup well. These are no good on a mu port. The non-edited ones are amazing despite the obvious such as blemishes... So I saved them and just PS'd out the blems to email to the jury. I'm dying to put these online in my port. Would it be rude of me to ask to use the non-edited photos considering I ps'd the blemish myself?
Despite this photographer never having given me a CD and over-editing skin that makes it unusable to me, I have gotten paid work through him, and have connected with paying clients through him as well. His studio set up is great, he's a wedding photographer who offers 'glamour sessions' and that kind of photog is a great resource to have as a mu! I try not to make a fuss because I want to be on his good side!!! What should I do?
I actually don't believe that artists that do Magazine covers on a regular basis would have any reason to test. I don't test because the paid work I get is always better then any test I can get here....the great photographers around here don't test at all.... Really, they don't...they're very busy on paid jobs. I don't have any artist friends testing in my area...Just the newer artists are testing here. I think before you have a portfolio you need to test but if you're working constantly and putting paid work in your book, I just don't see the point? I know many will argue with me.... but try sending Sharon Gault or anyone at any major agency a test request....I can tell you what the answer will be
This has happened to me as a model a few times. I see threads like this all the time. Sometimes they just don't give you any photos back and sometimes they disappear from the face of the earth all together.
Email him/call him/whatever one last time, as nicely as you can. Maybe something like, "Hi! I saw the pictures you posted from our shoot and I love how they turned out. Can you email the files to me so I can use them in my port? I especially love (the picture you said you could use in your port) and I can't wait to show them to my clients!" He should take the hint and send you your files. If not, take it as a lesson learned and if someone asks you for a reference for him you already know what to say.
After having this happen to me more than once, I now check 5 references for every photographer, and when I do I ask how many pictures the model received and if it was in a timely manner, or time agreed upon, or whatever.
I know right? But how long does it take to attach a file to an email? Hardly any time at all!
