Logan Airport: The early years
Logan Airport: The early years
Aug. 9, 1925: A view of Boston Airport and the harbor from the giant Sikorsky all-metal plane "Yorktown" which visited Boston. This type of plane was to be used in the proposed airline routes from Boston to St. Paul-Minneapolis and Boston to Havana.
July 1, 1926: The post office at at the Boston Airport did a rush business. In addition to selling stamps, the airport had just opened its air mail service where besides letters, local businesses could send and receive packages transported by plane.
Undated photo: On April 15, 1927, Colonial Air Transport (a predecessor of American Airlines) began passenger service between Boston and New York. The bus picked passengers up at the Hotel Statler in Boston at 9:15 a.m. and took them to the airport. As noted on the roof of the bus, the trip to New York then took 1 hour 45 minutes.
Dec. 15, 1929: An aerial view of the Boston Airport showing the development from 1927 to 1929. In 1929, the City of Boston took control of the airport with a 20-year lease from the state. Buildings were added, runways were lengthened, and access roads were paved and landscaped. Two hundred acres of land were reclaimed from Boston Harbor.
Oct. 5, 1930: A typical day at Boston Airport. There was always a little group waiting to see the New York passenger plane come in. If some noted person was scheduled to arrive, the crowd grew in size.
Aug. 18, 1935: The Massachusetts National Guard ground detail took part in exercises at the Boston Airport. For the field inspection, the men pitched their pup tents in camp formation, and placed their equipment and blankets in front of the tents as the inspecting officers passed by.
June 28, 1936: Pilots checked off the United States mail pouches and the passenger luggage as they were stowed away in the baggage compartment under the controls of the American Airlines Condor 159 plane.
Aug. 19, 1940: Passengers who arrived at Boston Airport walked outside from their plane to the terminal.
Feb. 19, 1940: A porter unloaded baggage from an incoming American Airlines flight. Passenger traffic over routes of American Airlines had set a new record for air traffic in January, when the flagships transported 45,939 passengers an increase of 83.5 percent over January 1939.
July 7, 1946: The making of runway A and runway B involved trucking in about 1.1 million cubic yards of yellowish gray gravel for fill for the new 7,000-foot runways. Nearly 300 trucks a day piled high with the gravel made the trip from gravel pits in Middleton and Peabody. The airport was renamed General Edward Lawrence Logan Airport in 1943.
Aug. 25, 1948: A broad view of the entire airport was gained from the observation promenade atop the Administration Building. The control tower can be seen in mid-field. Here, for just the cost of a dime, people could watch the arrival and departure of aircraft.
June 20, 1950: A Northeast plane prepared for takeoff. Northeast Airlines was based in Boston and on Aug. 1, 1972, Northeast merged with Delta Air Lines, which provided Delta with access to the Boston market.
May 20, 1956: The statue of Lieutenant General Edward L. Logan, for whom the the airport was renamed, was dedicated at Logan International Airport. Logan commanded the Ninth Infantry Regiment as a colonel in World War I. He became commander of the Yankee Division in 1923 and in 1928 was promoted to lieutenant general. The 8-foot-high bronze had scenes symbolizing patriotism, justice, faith and fortitude. Joseph A. Coletti, a native of Quincy, was the sculptor.

TORONTO — The International Handbook of Jewish Education, a two-volume tome published by Springer Science & Business Media in April, was launched June 12 at the 25th annual conference of the Network for Research in Jewish Education.
The academic meeting, held for only the second time in Canada, was hosted by York University's faculty of education and Israel & Golda Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Studies. Some 75 academics attended the three-day conference.
Twenty-five years ago, a book on research in Jewish education with 69 chapters, 89 authors, and more than 1,300 pages, would have been unimaginable, said Michael Zeldin of Hebrew Union College (HUC) in Los Angeles, who chaired the opening plenary and wrote the book's preface.
At the plenary, the book's co-editors – Helena Miller, Alex Pomson and Lisa Grant – discussed "Key questions of research in Jewish education," with Grant participating by video conference from Jerusalem.
Miller – who is research and evaluation director of UJIA in London, England – spearheaded the project after learning of a comparable book on Catholic education three years ago. She enlisted Grant, of Hebrew Union College, and Pomson – formerly a Koschitzky Family Chair of Jewish Teacher Education at York, and now based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem – to round out the group of editors geographically, and also because they are "the absolute best in their field," she said.
Among the target audience for the book are graduate students and emerging researchers, Grant said.
Despite the size of the book, however, there are some gaps, she added.
Miller told The CJN that there is no chapter about Jewish education in South Africa or Germany, although the book addresses Jewish education in a range of places like the former Soviet Union and the Netherlands.
Also, Pomson told The CJN that the editors would have liked to include a chapter about the increasing influence of philanthropic foundations.
He noted later in the plenary that some participants had started to address the issue but "kind of froze" for fear of jeopardizing funding. The closest the book comes to addressing the issue is a chapter on the intersection between foundations and informal Jewish education, he said.
Miller's biggest regret about the book, she said, is its price ($599 U.S.). Parts of the book are available online at http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-94-007-0353-7#section=878172&page=2&locus=99.
Pomson said he hopes the book will lead to interest in comparative research in Jewish education, such as geographic and cross-cultural comparisons. "What one learns is really quite fascinating," he said. "It requires funders with a global vision."
Miller said that she and Pomson will soon begin researching the effect of Jewish day schools in the London area on the lives of families. The book doesn't have a chapter on families per se, but "families come through very strongly" in sections on parents, gender and intermarriage.
Other current issues in Jewish education include Jewish identity and Israel education, Miller told The CJN. As well, she noted emerging fields like technology, gender, and pluralistic education, were addressed at some of the conference sessions.

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Even Gold had a laugh at Sam's '4-3-3' formation
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Gold meet his match when Peter called in
The fella is more than likely a member on here as well as he mentioned this site a couple of times
That was nice work mate

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
[quote="Denzil"]Cry me a ******* river.[/quote]
Great comment mate. However did you think of that. By the way, what the feck has it got to do with you?
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
There's only one possible thing they could reveal which could convert "90%" of people into thinking it was a good idea, and that is that the track is being ripped out the second the 2017 world athletic championships are over. I don't see that happening, and even then it wouldn't be anywhere near 90% approval.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Totally meaningless statement.
What does he mean? Clearly he is not stupid enough to say that no seat will be further away than the nearest seat to the pitch at Wembley. So are we to assume that he meant that the furtherst seat at Stratford will be closer to the pitch than the furthest seat at Wembley? Whoopty do. Wembley holds 10,000 more people, (and that is not even taking into account that the seat width at Wembley is vastly more generous than at Stratford), and is on 3 levels, not 2 like Stratford.
I had the "pleasure" of sitting in the very back of the stand at Wembley for the Swiss game, and it is watchable. However, elevation gives better viewing perception. My problem was/is always that we should worry about the front rows.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Agreed .
I checked out the OS last Saturday and took a seat near the corner flag, towards the front of the middle tier , and it was watchable .Not great , but if that was your view at an away game you wouldn't walk out .
I then went downstairs , and from the same position ( corner flag) my assessment was it simply would not be possible to watch football from that position .
Its the rake of the lower tier at the OS that is the issue .
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
They have said that Row A will be no further away from the pitch than at the Boleyn. Seeing as the current row A is at pitch level surely this would suggest that temporary seating is going to be placed over a section of the lower tier? I mean, how else could it be possible?

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
I thought you came across very well. Better than Gold, who resorted to abuse when he began to lose the argument.
He got awfully defensive whenever this website was mentioned, didn't he?
FWIW, in excess of 70,000 unique visitors pass through KUMB on a weekly basis.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
I think a would have been justified at the end of that
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
worries me that Brady and Gold when pushed on the suitability of the OS for football they fall back on this 'no further away from the pitch than wembley' argument......i appreciate the sightlines are important but the far bigger issue for me is atmosphere. It's obviously very important to be able to see the match (and it's concerning that TPP has been in the OS and doesn't feel you could see the game from certain positions - presumably this would be even worse for those of us concerned about our kids attending with a shallow rake of the lower tier)....but if I want a perfect view i may as well watch on sky......i go to the boleyn for it's atmosphere more than anything...
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
They've already promised they'll extend the roof - the booing will echo around as thickly as it always does. We won't lose a thing
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
I take it you are Peter from the show on LBC. Just had a listen at work. Thumbs up mate, I thought you came across really well. With the current manager in charge, the people right at the back may get a decent view of the ball, with any luck!
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Peter. - I thought you came across very well & are more then entitled to loose patience when the questions being asked are not being answered.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Top call from Peter...well worth listening to.
That Iain Dale is quite nauseating isn't he?.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Peter - you reminded me of Dufrais - the bloke in a wheelchair on FaceJacker...
Some excellent points and questions but needlessly aggressive, bordering on rude making for extremely uncomfortable listening.
It's pretty obvious there is going to be some form of retractable seating. The question is how close to the pitch will it get and what will the rake be.
Have to say, not Iain Dale's biggest fan but didn't think he was particularly flighty. The point of KUMB's popularity versus WHTID was merely an unwanted distraction that Dale was right to brush off.

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
You did a good job mate and said what the majority of us fans are thinking
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Cheers. You posted it on a public forum, so a lot I guess.
Every single one of your posts spills hate about the club or the manager. In another post you say you would rather West Ham go bust than have G&S in charge, so I got no more time for ya, mate. Lets leave it at that yea
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
I'm not letting you get away with that. I suppose it's because of people like you that I only contribute on here once in a blue moon these days. How do you figure that I "hate the club". It's because I love the club and have done since '62, and concerned about the OS plan, that I took the trouble to call up Gold.
Yes, I do dislike Allardyce (as I suspect most supporters do now) and always have done.
By the way, I was previously responding to 2 other posters, not you.
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
So if Im right, david gold said basically football supporters don't change clubs, the're born into it, and sitting opposite him at that moment was Ian, "I was a Man U fan until I was 10" Dale. Quite funny really
Re: david gold on lbc tonight
Nor do football supporters own another club for 15 years.

Apparently, the problem with movies based on video games isn't that they're never given the script attention and directorial skill that they deserve. No, apparently, the video games are just too new. Old video games have more nostalgic appeal, so more people will go to see them, right? That must be the thinking behind this latest bit of news, that Lorenzo Di Bonaventura will be producing an Asteroids movie, based on the video game about a ship that sits in the middle of the screen and blows up big asteroids, forming smaller and smaller asteroids.
Considering that there were two big, competing asteroid movies about a decade ago, and two competing TV-movies about it this year, was it really worth the four-studio bidding war? Hell, is the word "asteroids" even copyrighted? Since we can't imagine what the film will bring to the table that we haven't seen already, we've come up with a list of classic video games that we're much more interested to see on the big screen:
In this age of cutesy, computer-animated animal movies, why has nobody snapped up the rights to make a movie about a curmudgeonly frog who just wants to get across the road to see his family? Sure, it's only few steps for you and me, but an epic journey for a frog, especially if we're talking about one of those multi-lane highway dealies. This sucker has "Pixar" written all over it.
The name recognition alone would make this movie worth the attempt, but this baby would admittedly be a real bear to adapt to the real world -- we know there are ghosts in it, but what the hell is a Pac-Man? Cartoons have shown him simply as an anthropomorphic yellow ball (who wears a hat), but we can't see that translating well to the big screen. Well, not the hat, anyway.
A lovable alien who likes hopping up and down pyramids? Why wasn't this the next E.T.? The furry, armless, projectile-nosed creature starred in a Saturday morning cartoon, where he lived in a town full of similar characters, but we think bringing him to the real world, where he's the cutest thing on two legs, would do gangbusters.
Granted, Pitfall was pretty much an Indiana Jones rip-off, with a guy in a fedora swinging over crocodiles on vines, but considering that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull nuked the fridge on the Jones franchise, it might be time for us to embrace a new swashbuckling adventurer. Pitfall Harry, anyone?
Space Invaders
No, not Spaced Invaders, the movie about short, bumbling aliens who invade a remote farming community -- this is the video game whose title inspired the pun, if not the film. We'd rather see a movie closer to the game's concept, about a mobile Earth defense force who drives a massive laser from location to location to repel an invading fleet of alien ships.
Donkey Kong
Just to put this in perspective, a documentary about two guys who are good at playing this video game was a moderate success. So how much money would a movie about a girl who's been kidnapped by a gorilla and the hero who needs to assault his barrel-strewn, multi-level warehouse to rescue her stand to make? A barrelful, perhaps?
Who doesn't love a good story about space pirates? Especially space pirates who steal a bunch of life-draining organisms to use as weapons? Also, sexy Boba Fett-like bounty hunters who have to take them out? Think Empire Strikes Back meets Pitch Black. ...Empire Strikes Black?
A less-than-literal translation might be in order for this highly addictive stacking game, unless you think there's a huge audience for Russian wall-building movies. Maybe two spunky kids embark on a Goonies-like adventure to collect the five different shapes of Tetris pieces that unlock a hidden Soviet treasure that will save their personal Goondocks?
Ants, snakes, gorillas, sharks, crocodiles... every animal under the sun has been made enormous for the purposes of menacing humanity on the silver screen. So why not pit humans against an array of giant centipedes, as well as other insects, like fleas and scorpions? The sight of a massive, fast-moving centipede, weaving between giant mushrooms to devour a man 1/100th its size would scare even the stoutest of monster movie enthusiasts.
Super Mario Bros.
Yes, we know this game already had a movie, but God, it was awful. Whichever one of its three directors and three writers wants to take credit for it should be dropped into a river of lava for causing the casting of Dennis Hopper as a giant dinosaur warlord. It's practically a crime that a character as beloved as Mario Mario (and to a lesser extent, Luigi Mario) has been limited to the world of video games simply because its one foray into live-action was so horribly mishandled. Another attempt, heavy on the CGI environments, could kick off a lucrative franchise, with the second one focusing on Mario's street-racing career and the third focusing on his ghostbusting side business.

Design Specification: Enhanced JPQL
Document History
|Version Description & Notes
|0.1 Draft
Project overview
JPQL currently offers a sub-set of SQL functionality. Some queries that are possible using SQL cannot be defined using JPQL.
It is desired to make EclipseLink's JPQL support be more complete of what is possible in SQL.
A key requirement from users (#1 voted enhancement) is to have ON clause support in JPQL.
Other missing features of SQL could also be added to JPQL, such as sub selects in the SELECT from FROM clauses, and enhanced function support.
Other JPQL enhancements:
- allow qualified class names in from clause
- allow alias on join fetch
- support for cast function
- group by fails in in
- support union and intersect
- support platform independent functions and custom operators
- support nested join fetches
- support connect by
- support common functions
- JPA 2.1 sub select in functions, having, select, from
- support IN with nested arrays
- support literal key word
- support table and column references
- support asOf
Other JPQL bugs:
- incorrect SQL for distinct
- join to element collection does not work
- join ignored
- group by ignored [1]
- duplicate join in sub select
- package with order fails to parse
- stack overflow parsing query
- join of map fails
- plus not aliasable
- sub-string fails
- element collection fails with in
- count distinct fails
- bad sql for in [2] [3]
- jpql sub selects incorrect
- member of fails
- concat fails in subquery
- support inner joins in from clause
- expression order in jpql causes error
- join fetch ignored
- dot removes outer join
- is not null should be used
- from clause not used in select or where is omitted
ON clause : the SQL clause part of the FROM clause that defines how to tables are joined, this can be used for both joins and outer joins, but is required for outer joins.
outer join : A join where if a row in the source table has no joined rows in the target table it is still included in the join result with a null row for the target table.
ANTRL : Third party library currently used in EclipseLink for parsing JPQL.
Hermes : New JPQL parser developed by Dali project for parsing JPQL at design time. Currently included in EclipseLink SVN, but not currently used.
- Support additional ON clause for a relationship join.
- Support an ON clause on the join for two independent objects.
Design Constraints
- Outer join capabilities differ in different databases.
- SQL capabilities differ in different databases.
- Extend ObjectExpression to support an onClause, must normalize and copy expression accordingly.
- Allow ExpressionBuilders and other Expressions to be added to nonFetchJoinExpressions in ObjectLevelReadQuery.
- Add support for having SubSelectExpressions in SQLSelectStatement's fields and print/normalize accordingly.
- Added new FromSubSelectExpression to allow SubSelectExpressions to be contained an aliased in a SQLSelectStatement's from clause.
- Added new FromAliasExpression to allow get() to be used from a FromSubSelectExpression and treated as a QueryKeyExpression aliasing one of the items in the sub-select.
ON clause needs Expression tests in core testing and JPQL tests in JPA testing. Testing both 1-1, 1-m, relationship and parallel.
- Added ON clause tests to Expression outerJoin core tests (both inner and outer joins tested).
- Added FROM and SELECT sub-select tests to Expression subSelects core tests.
- Select e from Employee e left join e.address a on (a.city = 'Ottawa')
- Select e from Employee e left join Project p on (p.teamLeader = e)
- Sub-select
- Select e.id, (Select a.city from Address a where e.address = a) from Employee e
- Select e.id, a2.city from Employee e, (Select a.city from Address a) a2
Native API
- Expression
- join(Expression target, Expression onClause)
- leftJoin(Expression target, Expression onClause)
- getTable(Expression subSelect)
- ObjectLevelReadQuery
- addNonFetchJoin(Expression)
// ON ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder(); Expression address = employee.getAllowingNull("address"); employee.leftJoin(address, address.get("city").equal("Ottawa")); ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(Employee.class, employee); query.addNonFetchJoin(address); // ON ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class); ExpressionBuilder project = new ExpressionBuilder(Project.class); employee.join(project, project.get("teamLeader").equal(employee)); ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(Employee.class, employee); query.addNonFetchJoin(project); // SELECT SUB-SELECT ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class); ExpressionBuilder address = new ExpressionBuilder(Address.class); ReportQuery subQuery = new ReportQuery(Address.class, address); subQuery.addAttribute("city"); subQuery.setSelectionCriteria(employee.get("address").equal(a)); ReportQuery query = new ReportQuery(Employee.class, employee); query.addAttribute("id"); query.addItem("city", employee.subQuery(subQuery)); // FROM SUB-SELECT ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class); ExpressionBuilder address = new ExpressionBuilder(Address.class); ReportQuery subQuery = new ReportQuery(Address.class, address); subQuery.addAttribute("city"); subQuery.setSelectionCriteria(employee.get("address").equal(a)); Expression a2 = employee.getTable(employee.subQuery(subQuery)); ReportQuery query = new ReportQuery(Employee.class, employee); query.addNonFetchJoin(a2); query.addAttribute("id"); query.addItem("city", a2.get("city"));
Config files
Need to document our BNF, example queries and support beyond JPA 2.0/2.1 in query section.

WAC Wrap & Tourney PreviewPosted by Brian Goodman on March 9th, 2011
Sam Wasson, Co-Founder and Editor of bleedCrimson.net covering New Mexico State athletics, and Kevin McCarthy, Founder of Parsing The WAC, are the RTC correspondents for the WAC.
Postseason Preview
It's Utah State and everyone else. At least that's what it looks like on the outside looking in. However, this could be one of the most wide open tournaments in years. Anyone can beat anyone. Heading into the final week of play, there was a scenario in which five teams could have finished 9-7 and tied for second. While it didn't turn out that way, the teams are still tightly bunched and it should lend itself to a few upsets.
The hottest team coming into the tournament is Boise State, having won seven in a row. Right behind them is Utah State with five in a row. Idaho earned the 4-seed and is the only team to have handed Utah State a loss. Hawai'i could be the darkhorse in this tournament as the 5-seed. If they make it past Adrian Oliver and San Jose State, they certainly will have revenge on their minds against Idaho, who swept the season series. The Warriors are the only team to push Utah State in both regular season meetings and have what it takes on a neutral court to upset the regular season champs.
On the other side of the bracket, an exciting showdown between New Mexico State and Boise State looms in the semifinals. That is, if the Aggies can get past their quarterfinal game. They face the winner of the Nevada/Fresno State game and both of those teams beat the Aggies this year. Should fans be lucky enough to see a Boise State/New Mexico State game, it could be the game of the tournament in terms of excitement. These two teams played an epic triple-overtime championship game in the 2008 tournament, with Boise State coming out on top. The Broncos and Aggies split the season series and the average final score of the past nine games is 92-85.
New Mexico State is the defending tournament chance and could make a run to its second straight title and third in five years IF they play with a higher level of energy. Head coach Marvin Menzies is 10-3 in his tournament career and knows how to get his players up for tournament games. The Aggies have made it to at least the semifinal game each year they've been in the WAC.

Joining a number of big-name retailers that struggled last month, discount giant Target (NYSE:TGT) disclosed a surprise contraction in November same-store sales on Thursday.
Continue Reading Below
The unexpected dip in comparable sales drove shares of the Minneapolis-based retailer down about 3% in premarket trading.
Target said its same-store sales fell by 1% last month, badly missing forecasts from analysts for an increase of 2.1%. Total sales slipped 0.1% in November to $6.18 billion.
The discounter blamed "weaker-than-planned sales performance" in the first half of the month, which was offset by a rebound "across all channels" in the second half.
The November sales miss could be an ominous sign as Target heads into the pivotal month of December that the industry relies on for a large chunk of its annual sales.
Still, Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel said "profitability for the month remained on plan" due to the company's "efforts to balance thoughtful price investment in an intensely competitive environment with our continued focus on driving sales."
Despite that reassurance, Wall Street drove Target's shares down 2.56% to $61.20 in premarket trading, putting them on track to trim their 22.6% 2012 rally.
Target said its year-to-date total sales have climbed 3.8% to $55.77 billion and same-store sales are up 3.2%.
Target was hardly alone in issuing disappointing November sales as department store Macy's (NYSE:M) and Gap (NYSE:GPS) also missed Wall Street's expectations on Thursday.
Overall, preliminary November same-store sales rose just 1.6%, excluding drug stores, widely trailing forecasts for a jump of 3.3%, according to Thomson Reuters.

Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have risen like a phoenix out of the ashes of war and enflamed the passions of fans across the globe with their uplifting songs of hope, faith and joy. The band is a potent example of the redeeming power of music and the ability of the human spirit to persevere through unimaginable hardship and emerge with optimism intact. From their humble beginnings in West African refugee camps Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have performed on some of the world's most prestigious stages and matured into one of Africa's top touring and recording bands.
The World Food Program USA and Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have joined forces to bring attention to the urgent issue of global hunger. The music video for Big Fat Dog was filmed in Freetown, Sierra Leone and addresses an issue that's all too familiar to Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars: the divide between those who have plenty and those who have little.
Read more about the partnership here.
Here is a short trailer for the documentary film SIERRA LEONE'S REFUGEE ALL STARS. The film tells the remarkable story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, a group of musicians who form a band while living in a West African refugee camp. They were forced from their homes by a brutal civil war that took the lives of many of their loved ones and left them with physical and emotional scars that may never heal. But it could never take away their music. Through music they find a place of refuge, a sense of purpose and a source of power. This film follows the band over the course of three years as they make the difficult decision to return to their war-torn country and realize their dream of recording an album of their original music. The story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars celebrates the best of the human spirit - the incredible ability of individuals to sustain hope and find forgiveness even in a climate of rage and loss
Africa's most inspirational band celebrates ten years together with its finest album to date. Libation's "around-the-campfire" intimacy, honest soulfulness, and technical prowess reveal how far the group has come while remaining true to its roots. Produced by Chris Velan and mixed by Iestyn Polson, known for his work with David Gray, Patti Smith, and David Bowie, Libation embodies the contagious joy, optimism in the face of struggle and love for their fellow man that has earned the All Stars a devoted following across the globe.
Produced by the legendary Victor Axelrod aka Ticklah (known for his work with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, Easy Star All Stars, Antibalas), Radio Salone marks the Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars' most musically sophisticated collection of songs to date.
Formed in West African refugee camps, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have risen like a phoenix from the ashes of destruction to create this infectious and celebratory sophmore record. Produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Angélique Kidjo, Michelle Shocked, Rickie Lee Jones and Ozomatli), Rise & Shine was recorded in Freetown, Sierra Leone and New Orleans, Louisiana. Much like the band, the residents of New Orleans know both the bitterness of exile and the redemptive power of music, and the spirit of the Crescent City permeates this uplifting album.

My Review:
I am just going to say that this little mat is a life saver. Most people would use this for their dog but I use it for my kitty baby, Daisy Mae. My sweet Daisy loves soft and fluffy. She always tries to find a soft blanket to crawl into and hide from my boys that seem to annoy her. The squishy mat is perfect for pets it's available in several different sizes. It is a very soft pad that comes made to be ready for travel. You can use it at home or in the car, anywhere, really. I can roll it right up and fasten it and carry it where and when I need to. No problem, at all.
I love how well made it is. And I love the fact that it has a very soft furry side and a soft texture side. So it's two sided. This is such a functional piece to own that you can literally think of multiple uses for it. It comes in the standard color creme. If I had my way there would definitely be more colors available. If I have to say anything negative it would only be that I would love other color choices.
The size that I got a chance to try was the 3'x3' Little Squishy and really it was not "little", at all. It was pretty good size. This product retails for $69.95 for the Little Squishy. A fantastic product! Would be a great gift idea for the holidays!

Accommodation and facilities:
We had very high expectations of this hotel with a nice suite with large bathroom, massage bench in the room and a private pool, but unfortunately we were quite disappointed. The hotel is quite worn out with lots of things not working. The lamps in the children's pool were broken and the cables were floating free in the water! Also the circulation in the children's pool was shut off most of the time we were staying at the hotel. The circulation in our private pool was not working so it was full of insects and it was not possible to use it throughout our 9 nights stay at the hotel. Beds were comfortable, but we had lots of small ants and mosquitos in our room and the air condition was not very effective, so it was difficult to get some undisturbed sleep. The restaurant on the other side of the road was very busy and had nice affordable food and very good service.

Very nice breakfast. Free shuttle to the beach, otherwise it takes only about 5 min to walk ;) We had a two bedroom suite, with small private pool (in the shade,..) It was clean and so but not worth the money we spent. We really want to recommend the restaurant just across the street, great food and friendly staff.

We stayed in one of the Deluxe rooms and we loved it. Clean and cosy with very big bathroom with jacuzzi. The location is a little bit of, it´s located between Klong Dao beach and Saladan. That is a minor problem if you like to rent a bike, recomend you to rent from the hotel they charge 250 Baht per day. Very helpfull and friendly staff. The only thing that we didnt like was the BBQ-evening that they have twice a week.

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed in one of the spa villas. The room was very spacious the bathroom is very nice and the pool outside was just the right size for cooling off. The main problem with the hotel is its lack of managerial leadership and thus cannot command the price tag it currently charges. There were a number of problems with our room, for example some of electrical switches did not work and the pool was continually working, because the automatic timer switch was broken. Nobody seemed to know how to fix these problems, so we turned the pump off at night ourselves and used the one electrical plug that did work. The cleaning of the room was extremely poor, we could not believe that the maid actually took out our bathplug and gave it to the room next door. We were given know explanation, but obviously there is a shortage of bathplugs. We also had to ask for coffee and milk constantly, because the maid never bothered to replenish the coffee/tea basket. My main concern however is the hotel electrical plant room doors are always left open. These rooms contain very high voltage cables and it did not matter how many times you informed reception that the doors needed to be locked they just ignored us. On closer inspection one of these locks was even broken. Lets just hope that small children won't wander in and either electrocute themselves or fall into an exposed sump hole. The main pool also has half its tiles missing due to the wrong glue compound being used. The breakfast is extremely poor due to a very limited buffet. In a nutshell the staff are demoralised which only means one thing poor pay and very bad management. I personally think if they do not improve in the next year they will have a lot of vacancies in the coming year.

Lovely hotel. The private garden isn t really a garden, you only have space for two sitting chairs and the pool - that s it. The staff are very nice and helpful. They clean the room twice a day! The large pool was not very clean. A lot of leaves and such in it and a lot of tiles at the bottom missing. The breakfast is really wonderful! I looked forward to it every day :) But the prices on lunch and dinner are way over the normal prices, but you can eat a lovely meal at the restaurant on the other side of the road for a great price! The beach is really far away. It is a minimum 15 walk away to a beach where you can swim, even longer if you want a sun-chair.

Repeal Day came and went this year, with nary a comment from me. What can I say? Bad blogger. Today, though, I want to revisit a cocktail I first explored four years ago, for Repeal Day 2006: the Thistle. The Thistle is a simple cocktail; my version came from Robert Vermeire's Cocktails: How to Mix Them, and it calls for 2 parts Scotch, 1 part Italian vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Wait a minute. Scotch, sweet vermouth, and bitters? Yes, you're going to say the same thing someone else said in 2006, and that Erik "The Obscurist" Ellestad noted earlier this year: that's a Rob Roy. Okay, it's a Rob Roy. It's a Thistle. It's a York. You can call it a peppermint patty for all I care, it's a fine damn drink.
I don't know how to admit this to you, dear readers, but I actually prefer a sweet Thistleroy to a sweet Manhattan. Even made with rye, a sweet Manhattan simply tastes too sweet to me. For it to be truly tasty, I have to make the perfect variation on it: 2 oz. rye, 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth, and 1/2 dry vermouth. Scotch, though (even a blended variety), brings enough smokey character to the cocktail to rise up and tame the sweet vermouth.
Four years ago, I used Dewars for the scotch, and Cinzano for the vermouth. This time, I went a different route, and came up with something my wife and I loved. First, I wanted to play with a single malt in this instead of a blend. I used Knockdhu Distillery's An Cnoc 12, a well-balanced and relatively inexpensive Highlands whisky.
For the vermouth, I chose a product that wasn't even available to me (or anyone in the United States) in 2006: the French Dolin Rouge. I'm really starting to shun the available-everywhere products like M&R or Cinzano, in favor of more bitter and herbal vermouths such as Dolin or Carpano Antica, the latter of which I have to schlep from Boston. I found that the Dolin's bittersweet herbaceous qualities married well with the An Cnoc.
Finally, I rounded the drink out with Jerry Thomas Decanter Bitters from the Bitter Truth. I remembered, too late, that I had drained the Angostura the previous evening. But it's okay, because I like the Christmas-spiciness of the Jerry Thomas.
In all, the Yorkeroy is a great drink that deserves a regular spot in my drinks rotation, and it's proven itself as open to experimentation as a horny college student. I'll have another.
(If you're joining me from Serious Eats, welcome aboard. Look around, kick the tires, poke the cats, and pour yourself a stiff one.)

Wednesday Wig Out: A Brief History of the Original Metal Heads
A brief amount of research led me to find that, in fact, women of the 1920s and 30s could buy wigs that had perfect marcel waves and pin curls already in place (first image, from artdecoblog, shows an ad for wigs; second image, from Shorpy, shows front window of the famous Marcel of Paris salon in Washington. Not only do the mannequins appear to be wearing wigs, but the front shop window advertises imported hair).
Finding out about the wigs (which were assuredly not just for women with issues to do with balding or hair loss) made me feel a bit less pressure over my inability to perfect my vintage hairdo...It gave me hope that maybe a few vintage women were like me, in terms of finding it tricky to get the perfect hair I see in vintage images and certainly finding it somewhat unfeasible to devote the time needed to attempt to have such a coiffure as an everyday hairdo. But, maybe I'm just one of those lazy, unkempt types and I should just invest in one of these babies if I ever want to have perfect hair ;) Anyway, back to the gold wig itself: there is something really fun and creative about the idea of gold hair but this MUST be a heavy and hot piece to wear. If I were going to do such a fantastical metallic hairstyle, I'd opt for a treatment done on my own hair, like the woman in the third image, Mme Bonnardel, who had her hair lacquered silver white and styled by Antoine (image courtesy of Conde Naste). For now, I stick with my natural hairdo.

I agree that this is reassuring! I love Marcel waves, but for some reason can not easily master them with my hair. Glad to know some of the REAL flappers must have felt the same.

The metal wigs are facinating to me for some reason. Sydney Flapper (http://sydneyflapper.livejournal.com/ did a post on hers) recently. They're so odd, but interesting.

I like the little pieces that they have in the ad, i'm an advocate of hair pieces for ladies, also love watching 20's , 30's dramas for that particular reason.
This blog also made me giggle as you send me vintage curling irons as a gift, maybe a wig would be easier, they are so tiny and cute those wave makers are they not?

That wig is fascinating, and must get so heavy! I read that in promo shots for movies they used wigs/hairpieces to accentuate the hair, and sometimes they just concentrated on the front and sides so if you peeked at the back it would be a straggly mess! xx

That's so interesting. It makes sense, but I'd never realized. I clicked on the Marcel of Paris storefront window to check it out...those mannequins are so lifelike, I love the expressions on their faces.

This is so interesting. I have always wanted to create hairstyles like that, but found them to be too hard. Just to think ladies wore those with pride. Haha, I was watching Dick Van Dyke today and Laura (the wife) got really mad when her neighbor told her someone thought she wore a wig!
Sorry about getting back to you so late on this - but I really enjoyed your clothing history and facts. Thanks for the comments :)

By the way: facinating post! I've never heard of metalic wigs. I imagine they would be quite uncomfortable -would have to be heavy and also may be problematic if they got snagged on fine clothing (scarves etc) or jewellery.

One never knows what one is going to come across in the wonderful world of vintage fashion. Those flappers sure knew how to go glitzy!

Whenever I feel not up to snuff in my vintage hairstyles I remember to look at vintage photos of women from real life.just like today, models and actresses had time, money, and assistance to look fabulous. Real life women generally had stouter figures, lower heels on their shoes and simpler hair.

Joe Biden, Senate tiebreaker?
Republicans are rooting for Mitch McConnell to take the Senate gavel.
Democrats want Harry Reid to hang on.
Story Continued Below
But there's one man who might benefit from a tie most of all: Joe Biden.
A 50-50 Senate is more politics nerd parlor game than realistic outcome this fall. After all, it's only happened twice. But were the Senate to be divided straight down the middle, it would make Biden the ultimate tie-breaker — a dream come true for a guy who spent 36 years in the institution and a potential opportunity for a VP who hasn't ruled out running for president.
"He'd like two years of being the deciding vote, back in the cloakroom, in the Senate gym," said former Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.), Biden's longtime chief of staff and still a close friend. "I think he would revel in that."
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden over the years)
Biden still sees himself as a creature of the Senate. He loved his early role as President Barack Obama's Capitol Hill closer. And while more and more Democrats looking toward 2016 attach themselves to Hillary Clinton, Biden has kept himself in the mix, sounding out the makings of a presidential argument that would meld his years of experience with his connection to the progressive social and economic concerns driving the liberal base today.
Back in the Senate again, Biden could attempt to make himself the deal maker who could rally the Democratic base and, for a wider set of voters, be the man in the spotlight getting things done in Washington.
Senate races often move several at a time in late-campaign waves, but this year is already looking different. To hit a tie, Democrats would need a net loss of five seats, and most of them have already written off the seats in Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia. That leaves two, and between the races they're facing in Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina, Democrats say losing two seems a pretty safe bet. They're not counting on pickups in either Kentucky or Georgia, where their prospects are best.
"When you look at the map, it's totally feasible," said a national Democratic strategist.
The vice president's office declined comment on the speculation, or what it might mean for Biden.
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden and John McCain)
For those who know Biden, the prospect is both terrifying and thrilling — terrifying because they doubt that no matter the potential pitfalls, they'd be able to keep him away from the Hill, thrilling because they can't quite contain the excitement of being able to run for president from the platform of being an active president of the Senate.
Not that Senate Democrats would be all that eager to have him there. Many, Reid included, remain unhappy with deals he reached with McConnell on the Bush tax cuts and others, and he was cut out of talks surrounding last year's government shutdown.
And an evenly split Senate wouldn't mean Biden pulling his motorcade up to the Capitol every day. There have been only 244 vice presidential tie-breakers in the entire history of the Senate. The last time the Senate was 50-50, after the 2000 elections, Dick Cheney only cast eight, including the one to give Republicans the majority. (That May, then-Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords left the Republicans to give the Democratic caucus a 51-49 advantage.)

Kurt Nimmo
September 1, 2012
Probably the most memorable moment of the Republican dog and pony show in Tampa earlier this week occurred when Ann Romney said "you can trust Mitt." She didn't elaborate, but Mitt's handlers did. They promised Mitt will restore fiscal responsibility, expand the military, and cut taxes.
The last one is betrayed by the Republican platform.
"The 2012 Republican Platform calls for a complete overhaul of the federal tax system. No surprise there. But then it endorses a value-added tax or national sales tax as one possible solution to the nation's budget problems. This is shocking," writes Jim McTague for Barron's.
In order to sell this, the Republicans say they will only move to institute a value added tax – a tax that confiscates money at all stages of the production process – but only if the Sixteenth Amendment is repealed.
In 1909, a Republican Congress devised the Sixteenth amendment. It allows the government to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states. It was ratified in 1913 despite the fact it undermines the constitutional requirements regarding direct taxes.
In January, Romney refused to rule out a value-added tax, which is a hidden tax and more politically acceptable. Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan also had a VAT (as represented by the last 9), and Romney's supposed Tea Party friendly vice president pick, Paul Ryan, included a value-added tax in his "roadmap" scheme.
Obama and the Democrats also like the VAT idea because they realize increasing income taxes on the rich will not generate the revenue they require to keep expanding the size of government. Obama has said he thinks value-added taxes are "something that has worked for other countries." Obama and the Democrats have not specifically called for a VAT because they are politically addicted to the class warfare mantra that brings disgruntled Americans to the polls.
Both Democrats and Republicans love confiscatory taxation, they just disagree on the best way to force it on the American people. Republicans are especially squeamish about open taxation because they have spent the last few decades claiming they are the party of small government and minimal taxation, which is of course a lie.
Despite all the self-serving rhetoric, Republicans have worked closely with Democrats to impose more taxes on working middle class Americans. The latest example is the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act, which is, despite its misleading title, an internet sales tax. "They introduced their internet tax as an amendment to a Senate small business bill, but that bill stalled. Now they are confident they can sneak the internet tax into a lame duck session of Congress, just in time for Christmas shopping," Erick Erickson wrote for RedState in July. A lot of Republicans love the idea.
Romney also favors cap-and-trade and a carbon tax, although he has addressed the issue obliquely in order to pretend he is some kind of "conservative" opposed to further decimating the middle class with taxation. In 2007, when asked if he was in favor of adopting carbon taxes, Romney said: "Carbon tax? That's something we're looking into." Romney's economic adviser, Gregory Mankiw, took to the pages of the New York Times in September of 2007 and argued in favor of carbon taxes.

I see that I shall never think
In lovely shades of girlish pink.
A pink whose colour's oft expressed
In how sweet baby girls are dressed;
A pink that advertisers say
Should mark the things with which they play;
A pink that tints the young girls' toys
And segregates them from the boys'
The experts say I'll just make do
With boring bits of boyish blue
A fool like me can hope we'll find
A future that is color-blind
With sincere apologies to Joyce Kilmer.

Fine reply, quite fine Archeopteryx (lithographica, I presume)
I was one driven to learn and although I am a senior citizen today (meaning I'm an old fart) I still continue to read more daily than my book hungry wife, but not fiction. I enjoy knowledge, and have this insatiable desire to learn nearly every subject I come across. Not all subjects as you correctly point out, but certainly an unusually wide array.
There are social scientists who would disagree on some of your minor points but social psychology is a misunderstood science. Some really know, and others haven't a clue. I'm certain you realize it will always remain so in a world of tolerated variance.
Thanks for the good comment! Appreciato mucho!
Ok, stupidity is relative to the company in which one keeps. If you keep company with scholars, then you learn to use your intelligence. If you keep company with people who do not use their minds to think outside the box, then you are likely a sufferer of 'group think' in which case it is nearly impossible to find a coherent thought process. Unfortunately in current times, it is 'cool' to be stupid. Girls who are incredibly intelligent dumb themselves down so that her target boyfriend isn't threatened by the girls intelligence, and likewise for intelligent boys. However it is more readily accepted for a boy to be extremely intelligent. I have never thought of myself as superior or super intelligent, I just don't allow the circumstances to dictate my intelligence level.
Reasonable does not always be rational. In those instances, I chose rational every time. (Or at least my brand of rational, which may not always be the same as everyone else but when I'm wrong, I readily accept criticism and debate... in fact I prefer that to being thought of as stupid)
RE: "I just don't allow the circumstances to dictate my intelligence level" - Yay, you!
I know I felt pretty smart when I backed my boat and trailer right on through the garage door.
Didn't that just make you feel like Einstein? I once tried to drive into a parking garage and hit some invisible, impenetrable barrier. I had kayaks on top of the car. Gerschk!
Stupid? Not particularly. Ignorant or uneducated, however is more likely. Note that by stupid I am assuming that someone is inherently deficient and incapable or learning while with ignorant or uneducated they could learn but due to various factors (lack of education, culture that ostracizes education, religious indoctrination, etc) haven't.
Do I think that America has a big problem with anti-intellectualism? Absolutely.
@Dave G "culture that ostracizes education". You got that right. I went to a state university. When I first walked into my Mathematical Physics classroom I immediately realized that I was probably the only person born in my country that registered for that class. That was a recurring theme as I progressed through engineering school. Wasn't a lot of beer drinking and taking in an NFL game after class with my classmates.
What really boggles my mind are the people who are proud of being ignorant. Like not knowing things is a virtue.
My response would have been, "Because knowing the answer just might separate you from the idiots!" (I've never claimed to be a nice person --)
Pissing off an idiot can be costly, too. Just ask Iraq.

SOURCE: adidas
adidas presents the new Russian National Football Team away kit
With the new kit Russian football players will easily cope with the physical activities even in difficult conditions of hot weather and intense trainings. The national kit was designed by using adizero technology, which makes it more comfortable to wear as it weighs less and fits better thus helping the players to be faster in their movements. The uniform is made from a special compressive material that stretches in the areas where it is most needed thus giving good support to muscles and great breathability.
The Earth Scientific Monitoring Center took part in the developing process of the kit and delivered unique pictures of Earth, taken from the Russian space satellite 'Electro-L' #1, to adidas.
The outline of the Earth was modified and placed on the t-shirt, now it looks like a light blue semicircle. According to the idea of adidas designers, this image shows same perspective from which Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space) saw Earth in 1961.
There is the adidas logo and the Russian national emblem of the Double-Headed Eagle below the print. The collar is made using the Russian flag colors and the basic white color of the kit is meant to be associated with the traditional color of the space suites and the color of the clouds which the space explorers see from the above.
The design of the away kit as well as the design of the home kit is also inspired by the achievements of the Soviet astronauts in the 1960s. The Russian National away set was presented in November 2013th.
The new kit embraces the pride of the Russian fans for their team, which will be supported by the whole country at the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Together with the national team adidas aims to engage the youth into sports and motivate them to achieve the greatest goals.

I was talking to Capital One's Bill Polk today about some deals Capital One has closed on—stay tuned for stories on those later this week—and we started talking about the larger deals that happened in 2012.
This was a topic of conversation at the Barnes Buchanan Conference 2013, which took place last week Feb. 7-10, at the Breakers in Palm Beach. I normally go there directly from TechSec, which was Feb. 5&6 in Fort Lauderdale, but I had to miss it this year. I was sorry to miss the conference of course, but a BFF's milestone birthday party in Cincinnati won out. More on TechSec and Barnes also this week.
So Polk was saying that the larger deals this year, such as Vivint and Securitas Direct, ADT (there were like five of them) totalled up, brought $7 billion dollars into the security industry in 2012. "We've never seen $7 billion come into the industry over a 12-month period before," Polk said.
"What's going on here? The story is that the size and growth in this industry has reached the point where sophisticated capital structured [deals] are finding their way to the top of the house," Polk said.
He said the Interface Security deal was particularly interesting. (Capital One worked with Imperial Capital on that deal.) As Imperial Capital's John Mack pointed out when I reported that story a couple of weeks ago, Polk said, "Normally the bond market likes much larger deals, but the Interface deal was oversubscribed [because they liked the company.]"
Now, bond market deals are not for everyone in the security industry. Not even close.
The "traditional lender, such as Capital One,will continue to play a really important role," Polk said. Instead, the past year's bond market deals signify that the security industry is maturing.
MIlestones all around.

Russian Diplomat KILLS Robber Who Tried To Shoot Him In Rio
The Russian Vice-Consul in Rio de Janeiro has dramatically shot dead an armed mugger who tried to hold up his car.
It happened just after the Olympic torch relay had passed on the last day before the Rio 2016 opening ceremony
Marcos Cesar Feres Braga, a Brazilian lawyer who holds the vice-consul post at the Russian consulate, reportedly grabbed the attacker and pulled him into his BMW X6 after he had smashed the car window and pointed a gun at him, demanding he hand over his watch.
A struggle ensued inside the diplomat's car until he managed to grab the assailant's gun, which he used to shoot him dead at point blank range, according to police.
