A Questionnaire to Be Sent Out About Expenses for Pleasure. OLD FINDINGS PRINTED Last year tlie Undergraduate Assofcia- tion undertook to compile, in answer to many requests, statements of the aver- age cost (A each year in college. This jyrVey covered the expenses absolutely essential' to college residence, such as caps and gowns, and also optional expenses directly connected with college, such as club dues, and song books. In answer to frequent questions from applicants .for'admission, and for the guidance of the Alumnae Regional Schol- arship committees, it is now proposed to make a survey of a third area in expense, the average amount actually spent by undergraduates, exclusive of all expenses already included in last year's survey, a list of which is given below. To Issue Questionnaire Questionnaires will soon be issued by the Undergraduate Association which will ask for a statement of the expenses not directly connected with college which the undergraduate standard of living con- siders to be necessary for happiness here �such as food, theatre tickets, trips to Philadelphia (but not railway fare home or clothes). The Undergraduate Association urges that you think over the question now, so that your answers may be accurate, based on fact, not on conjecture. People who are or have been on an allowance are asked to look over their old accounts, and derive their answers from them, since they are the most trustworthy sources of information.

EVERY PRIVILEGE IS A PENALTY Dr. Hugh Black Warns by Comparison of America With Time of Amos. . . DANGER IN WEALTH PUGNACITY WINS GAME FOR VARSITY Wings Victory Deserve Glory of Over Philadelphia Varsity's "torch divine" refused to be dampened by the downpour on Saturday morning: the Red team of the Phila- delphia Cricket Club, being of less stern stuff, was submerged by a score of 2-1. The game, except on its merits as an- other scalp for Bryn Mawr's string, could not be acclaimed as brilliant. It was only won because of the pugnacity and fight- ing ability which kept Bryn Mawr con- tinually on the offensive. In spite of a deplorable lack of co-operation and good technique, this ability Jo keep on the offensive is a good sign. A mechanically perfect, smoothly working team without fight will not win many games. And the team of eleven good individuals did suc- ceed in keeping the ball near the Red goal most of the time. ' Wings Good. Bryn Mawr't forward line had rather a hard time with the oozy ground, and Guiterman and Stix were observed to fall with great frequency upon the field of honor. To the wings belong most of the glory of the combat. Turtle at left wing, and Fowler and Longstreth got off some good passes. Guiterman has both of Varsity's goals to her name, but they were mot really her triumphs as much as the wings, who not only succeeded in standing up, but in making fast runs down the field. Stix did not play as well as last week; in fact, the center of the field did not scintillate as it might have. Perhaps the trusty Loines was missed. As for the backs: Seeley played as great game, better than usual if possible. She was absolutely reliable and always on hand, stopping the ball whenever it broke away down toward Bryn Mawr's goal. The work of the backs, as a whole, was not very noteworthy. . They did not seem quite on to their job of feeding the ball up to the forward liner Stetson, particularly, suffered a reversal of form and seemed unable to manipulate either her legs or her stick with her accustomed dexterity. Neither Bruere nor Freeman wares'at goal. Cross at right inner was the mainstay of the Red team, and Morris CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 "It is a dieadful thing to be God*s favorite." said the Reverend Hugh Black speaking in Chapel on Sunday evening, October 24. "Every privilege is a penalty, every right a duty. The danger lies in considering special dispensations due to oneself as one's own particular right, and imposing on them, expecting to be judged by a different standard."^ The parallel be- tween times and the conditions in the time of Amos is extraordinarily striking. "Amos came up from his own country to Israel, in the days of Jeroboam when that country was most warlike and suc- cessful. The people were prosperous and powerful, their luxury demonstrated in the fact that they slept on 'beds of ivory,' and ate the 'lambs from the flock.' They had grown powerful and boastful�'noth- ing afflicts a nation like military glory.' God's Judgment Impartial. "Then Amos came to Bethel and began his prophecies by declaring the doom of all the nations around Israel, finally tell- ing them that the same judgments would fall on them, that they would be measured by the same standards as their neighbors. He acknowleged that they were a chosen people, but his conclusion is strange. 'Hear this word that Jehova has spoken against you saying 'You only have I known of all the families of the earth': Therefore 1 will visit upon you all your iniquities. In this unforseSn non sequitur there is no connection ween the begin- ning and the concl forgiveness was more to be expec "Man naturally p.csumes on a favor, give him an inch and he'll take an ell.' Deep down in our hearts there is a lurk- ing hope that we will be excepted from the general rule and will be dealt with on special terms. But equality means that we will all be judged by the same stand- ards, and 'our responsibilities are in proportion to our gifts.' The special revelations to Israel carried with them conditions. Election, or selection (with Darwin), always means a penalty. People even in a. derpocracy with its 'privileged classes,' enjoy having a pull, be it only with the policeman: they are uplifted by being favored, but they forget the price. Rights Are Duties. 'This is hard to reconcile with religion; CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 PERSONALITIES, METHODS AND ENTERPRISES OF HULL HOUSE DISCUSSED BY DR. HAMILTON Experience There Proves Be Useful in Public Work. * to WORKERS HANDLE RAW HUMAN MATERIAL Following her talk on Thursday eve- ning. Dr. Alice Hamilton spoke again in chapel Friday morning, October 22, tell- ing more of what her life at Hull House has meant, to her. She considers it <"the most valuable ancTinteresting part of her life." "A great many people who lived there later became important in public work, whether as a direct result or not it is hard to say. In some cases there is a very close connection between their lives at Hull House and afterward. Mrs. Flor- ence Kelly, important for her factory* re- form work, became the first criminal probationer for children, because she had voluntarily undertaken this work long be- fore the office was established. Hull House Products. "Julia Lath rope started the first Juve- nile Court, and founded a home where the little prisoners could wait for their hearings. Later, as a result of this work she was sent to Geneva to sit on the Committee for the Welfare of Children. "Grace Abbott, while she was teaching at the University of Chicago, worked a great deal among immigrants, and was powerful in founding the Immigration Protective League. During the war she was sent to Washington to the Foreign Labor Board, and later she, too. was sent to Geneva, to sit on the Migration Board. "Many private institutions in Chicago and elsewhere are manned by-people who got their first experience in Social Serv- ice work at Hull House.'' Dr. Hamilton said that she herself reached her present state from having stayed there. She went there as a bacteriologist, and would never have been anything else, but at Hull House she be- came interested in human problems, especially in those crippled and diseased on account of their occupations. She studied this subject* spoke on it, and little by little became identified with it, so that when the Labor Bureau wanted to look into it. she was appointed to the State Commission for Investigating.

YOUNG DIRECTS (Specially ANNOUNCE CAST OF "DISRAELI" FULL MOON RISES ON 193CS LANTERN NIGHT Senior New Singing Follows With Freshman Class Song. A full moon in a cloudless sky and a warm night went far toward making 1930's Lantern Night the most successful in the memory of the college. The Freshmen entered quietly, and ar- ranged themselves in a half-circle, their black and white very sharp in the moon- light. After the long pause which tradi- tion considers suitable, the Sophomores entered, singing Pallas Athene unsteadily at first. They gained in confidence and unison as they moved in, until, as they stopped before the Freshmen, their chorus was strong and clear. A more judicious disposition of the mutes, however, would have heightened the effect. The curious line of the regularly sway- ing lanterns was more spectacular than ever, with the small flame of the candle glowing through dark blue glass. The Freshmen's rendering of Sofias �s they moved out was admirable, steady, clear and unified.

Fesler, 1928 Bltler at Glastonbury Towers, K. Morris, 1927 Contributed by A. Learned, '29.) Bryn Mawr is at last to have an atelier of its own. Those who sympathized with the aims of the Bryn Mawr Art Club last spring will realize what it means to student lovers of art to have succeeded in organizing a studio in '.their midst where every opportunity will be made for self-experession along artistic lines. The course, which will be given on Saturday mornings is unique in more than one way. The student group that made the various efforts needed to raise funds, find expert instruction, arrange for a studio, materials and models, will also manage the class. Although this is un- precedented in the history of the college, the class gives every promise of sincere and .serious work, as it is based directly on the desires and-needs of its members. A freedom from pedantic methods char- acterizes the course. Emphasis will be laid or. life-drawing as a foundation, and the work will be under the expert guidance of Mr. Charles Morris Young, well-known painter, who encourages the freedom of expression and experiment which make the interest and joy of the pursuit The Club is most fortunate to have gained Mr. Young's interest, and heartily appreciates his kindness in helping to launch its somewhat precarious bark. Thanks arc also due President Park and Miss King for their continued help and interest in the club as well as in its new offshoot. Were it not for its many ?Describing the valuable tilings that one get from work in a Social Settle- ment. Dr. Alice Hamilton, gentle, tolerant,- yet vigorous, and for twenty-five years a resident of Hull House in Chicago, was herself a .far more potent argument in favor of social work than anything that could be put into words-. JIardly touching on the work the settlements do for others, she tried- to show what they do for the workers them� selves. The advantages on both sides are now more generally recognized than in the first years after the war, when a wave of egotism swept over the dis- illusioned people of all countries. But now idealism has sprung up again, and Hull House is at present larger than,ever before. Dr. Hamilton, though her chief work is in the East, still considers herself a resident there, and is still acutely con- scious of the advantages of living there All Classes Mingle. In the first place, in a social settlement, one learns to know people that otherwise one would probably never even meet; not only famous people, though they come to Hull House in shoals, but people of all classes of. society. In fact one comes to realize that there are not any "classes" of society. People talk about the "criminal class." Rut how, if you know the crimin- als personally, and all the circumstances of their crimes, if you know the good criminals and the bad ones, can you generalize about the "criminal class?" Living among the workmen and day- laborers one comes to know the Labor Movement from the inside, and one can- not help sympathizing with strikers, when one sees how everyone, the Government, the capitalists, the settled classes are against them. Leaders of the I. W. W. like William Foster, come to Hull House, and one learns to understand and sympa- thize with their point of view. Most notable of ,11, in the old days. Eugene V.

Drew Barrymore is exercising some serious flower power.
In a Hollywood career spanning more than three decades, Barrymore wasn't content to stay in front of the camera, but progressed to producing and directing, piling up behind-the-scenes credits under the mantle of her production company Flower Films — and she's following the same trajectory in the beauty business. After a stint from 2004 to 2005 as a spokeswoman for Lancôme, Barrymore enlarged her role in beauty at Procter & Gamble Co.'s Cover Girl, where she's been a face and co-creative director since 2007, and is now taking it a step further by launching Flower, a color cosmetics brand she co-owns with design and manufacturing firm Maesa Group that will enter 1,509 Wal-Mart doors in January.
"I think, if you really care about things, then you just naturally get involved. I don't want to sit there and hope it works out. I want to be in the middle, in the mix, making sure it works out," said Barrymore. "It is almost an uncontrollable desire to be one of the people who is creating. Maybe it is just a type of personality. I can't sleep at night. I care."
Barrymore may have lots of sleepless nights ahead — and they won't only be due to her two-month-old daughter Olive Kopelman, who has already made a splash in the tabloid world. She and her mother are pictured on the cover of the latest issue of People magazine.
With Flower, Maesa and Barrymore have committed to transforming the landscape of the beauty industry by offering what Scott Oshry, president, partner and board member at Maesa, described as "true luxury at mass. Once we identified this white space, we thought to ourselves, you know what, we should tackle this. We should build the best color cosmetics brand that we can," he said.
Wal-Mart would be the ideal platform for the Flower concept. Barrymore summed up Flower's reason for the relationship with the world's largest beauty retailer in a single sentence: "We want it to be in people's hands." Oshry pointed to another: Carmen Bauza, vice president of beauty and personal care at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. He believed she'd understand Flower's goal to elevate mass beauty aisles. "Knowing what Carmen has been doing at Wal-Mart for so many years, we knew that she's a rebel. She's a free thinker," he said.
Of course, Bauza did understand. She's made it her mission to address what she said had been "the biggest miss" in Wal-Mart's assortment: "aspirational, prestige product. Mass has pretty much been doing the same thing over and over again," she said. Flower could be different. "What a great marriage for all these three businesses to come together and put something out there that's so accessible and so great for customers. The formulas are absolutely incredible. The packaging is incredible," said Bauza.
Flower will be housed in four-foot sections and endcaps at Wal-Mart stores exclusively. It will be available online at walmart.com, too. Although Maesa and Wal-Mart wouldn't divulge the terms of their exclusivity arrangement, both parties said they have a multiyear deal. Industry sources estimate Flower will generate $50 million in first-year retail sales.
Flower will sell 181 stockkeeping units priced from $4.98 to $13.98, including 70 in the face category, 44 in eye, 51 in lip and 16 in nail. The face products contain a proprietary botanical-driven "soft focus complex" to amplify skin's glow. Maesa emphasized that the formulas are custom-made at the same price as those used in luxury products, meaning the firm spends two to three times what a typical mass beauty marketer does on each product.
If Maesa operated with a standard mass beauty brand business model, Gregory Mager, founder and chief executive officer of the firm — which is financing Flower — said producing the brand would have been impossible. The standard business model is to hire an extensive sales force, but exclusive distribution at Wal-Mart has eliminated the need for it. The standard business model is to shell out millions for ads to raise consumer awareness, but Flower will rely on Barrymore's popularity, social media, in-store imagery and Wal-Mart's reach to spread its message.

I wonder how long it will take me to catch up with the heavy hitters
At the rate you're going, about another week and a half...
Um, did my post get deleted?
Cuz, y'know, having my harmless post deleted kinda makes me feel unwelcome. And if my participation is unwanted or unappreciated, I don't know why I should continue participating.
At the risk of sounding like a jerk (not my intention)I'd like to make a couple of suggestions to members/moderators. I don't know what if any issues Steve may have with traffic or space but when a thread is 20 pages and 5 of those pages are "nice job" or "great looking pie" it gets a little tedious. Don't get me wrong, compliments are great but so many do not really add to the discussion. However, if that's fine with everyone I'll deal with it. Also, threads get off topic and make them harder to follow. An example is here- http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13107.0.html -about half of these posts are unrelated to the topic. This also makes it tedious to follow.It's great to see so many people posting here and sharing their experiences, but the above things take away from the enjoyment of the forum IMO. I do not expect mods to be able to keep up w the volume here, so to me it makes sense if membership helps out and practices some courtesy while posting as well.Thanks,JeffP.S. The above views are mine and may not reflect the views of pizzamaking.com, it's owners, affiliates, or subsidieries.
With all due respect, I do not deem any post that puts another member in a bad light to be harmless.
Jeff, I'm in total agreement however the majority of members, seem to prefer the opposite. Once I see a topic, like this one, going the direction it is, I just stop reading it, I don't see the point any longer. I do have one quick followup reply to Peter.Don
So I guess if I had just put a smiley face at the end of it, it would have been all fine?Bob, I was poking fun at you in my post of about ten words, almost exactly how Craig did.
So I guess if I had just put a smiley face at the end of it, it would have been all fine?Bob, I was poking fun at you in my post of about ten words, almost exactly how Craig did. I'm sure it probably would have hurt your feelings because, as you know, there's a ton of friction between the two of us.There's no point in putting it back up now.
That particular post came across as hurtful, not harmless, when I read it. Even if Bob saw it as a joke, other might not. I would encourage everyone to take an extra second before hitting the Post button and think about how other people might read what you are writing vs. what you are intending to say.
One of the things I have learned over the years is that it is hard to convey humor on a forum. Even when emoticons are used, they can be misinterpreted. For example, a smiley used with the right words might be interpreted as sarcasm or a dig or an insult. Also, some members take what is said literally. For example, I like to tease Norma. However, I have learned that she often takes what I intended as humor as something serious, and her replies show that. I can see how that can happen because I use very few emoticons. For me, it is pretty much the smiley and laughing emoticons. And I only use them when I am actually smiling or laughing. Even then I will sometimes not use those emoticons when I am saying something intended to be tongue-in-cheek or an attempt at wry humor. There are times, even days later, that I will go back and delete a post I entered when, after thinking about it, I concluded that it could have been misinterpreted by the member to whom it was intended, maybe in a hurtful way.

Statewide Initiatives
The State Aviation System Plan (SASP) is a comprehensive 20-year plan guiding the maintenance and development of airports and aviation systems in Minnesota. The 2012 SASP includes a study of scheduled airline service focused on strengthening our connection to the rest of the world, a vision for the future of aviation in Minnesota - including consideration of NextGen technologies - and investment plans for airports and navigational systems. Learn more about our plan.
Airport Projects in MnDOT District 6
Airport | Project | Amount |
Winona Municipal Airport | Runway reconstruction | $8,550,000 |
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Programs
Airport Improvement Program (AIP) – Aviation Trust Fund monies provide grant-in-aid funding for planning, land acquisition, and capital improvement projects at Airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).
Essential Air Service (EAS) – Aviation Trust Fund monies support a minimal number of scheduled airline flights to small communities that otherwise may not be profitable for airlines. To qualify for the program an airport must have had airline service prior to deregulation in 1978.
Statewide Programs
Airport Construction Grant Program - State Airport Fund monies are provided in Grant form to state system airports based on a determination that the improvement is a justifiable benefit to the air-traveling public. Grants are issued for a variety of projects including; planning, land acquisition, airfield paving, arrival/departure buildings, maintenance buildings, utilities, aviation fuel facilities, airfield lighting systems and certain qualifying equipment.
Airport Maintenance and Operation Program - State Airport Fund monies are provided in Grant form to state system airports for 2/3s of documented, routine maintenance expenses up to a ceiling amount calculated by airport infrastructure.
Hangar Loan Program - The Hangar Loan Revolving Account can provide a loan to a state system airport for building new hangars. Loans are paid back in equal monthly installments over 10 years. Payment receipts are then loaned out again to other airports needing hangars.
Air Service Marketing Program - State Airport Fund monies may be provided in Grant form to encourage the preservation and expansion of airline service at some airports in Greater Minnesota through marketing strategies. Access to air service in a community is vital for businesses with global markets and as a tool for economic development. Grants may not be used for subsidy payments to airlines.

Menlo Park cop caught with prostitute keeps job [unlocked]
Original post made by Confession, another community, on Jan 16, 2013
Sandy Brundage wrote a good story. She accepted and believed certain explanations about why Vasquez could not get prosecuted.
The Sunnyvale police officer who arrested Vasquez allegedly could not show up to the prostitute's trial for a ten-day period because of an alleged medical emergency with his wife. I hope the Almanac fact checks this by submitting freedom of information act requests on his time cards.
The prosector, Rob Baker, said that without a conviction of the prostitute, the charges against Officer Vasquez were hopeless, and he had to dismiss.
The point everyone is missing here is that Officer Vasquez CONFESSED to the Sunnyvale officer. That made the prostitute's conviction and testimony irrelevant.
The officer needed only to show up in court AT VASQUEZ'S TRIAL and testify to what he saw, and what Vasquez confessed to him.
The REAL STORY here is the cover-up, not the transgression.

The other set of issues relevant to the public interest here are the justifications used in law enforcement to institute what clearly seems to be a cover up in this situation.
If Vasquez were convicted of this offense, he would lose his job. Other law enforcement officers who even get a restraining order against them must surrender their firearms under California law, and effectively end their jobs also.
So, the justification is: a citizen who is not a law enforcement officer does not lose his or her job over something like this. Therefore, it's too harsh a punishment for Vasquez.
What do people think about this? I see just a few solutions:
1. Change the law so that cops don't lose jobs over certain criminal convictions. Of course, this makes it really hard for them to be testifying against someone they arrested for the same conviction.
2. The law is the law, they chose law enforcement, and if they mess up, they pay the price (even with their job).
3. The current system of it's not fair they lose their job, we can't change the law because of the effect that would have on their testimony (see #1), so we just work the system from the back rooms like what apparently was done here.
As much as I am against what I think is a cover up that took place here, the notion of someone losing his or her job over this is a valid point. What do people think?

I agree that the story is the coverup. Look at ALL the players here.
By the way, the SF Weekly picked up this story, but alas did not credit the Almanac. Hope that is corrected:

What you're saying is the cop still should have been prosecuted for the same misdemeanor that the prostitute was not prosecuted for... just because he's a cop. Discriminated against as a defendant because of his job, a job which does not place him in a special category as a perpetrator. Really? The guy wasn't out murdering children.
a resident of another community
on Jan 16, 2013 at 11:59 am
No, my opinion is that the prostitute should have been prosecuted also, and it's unfortunate that the Sunnyvale officer decided to "no show", and the prosecutor went along with it, in order to save the Menlo Park cop from a prosecution. In any event, even if you believe there was no set up, the lack of prosecution of the prostitute wasn't based on her innocence, but rather logistics, and shouldn't preclude the prosecution of the Menlo Park officer, Vasquez.

@logic - Yes, cops, of all people, should be held to the highest standard.
Why wouldn't you (and they) expect, and demand, that standard?
Or we can go out with your standards: "The guy wasn't out murdering children."
Tough call. Not.
That said: legalize sex workers, and drugs. Until then, anyone we give a gun to? Highest standards.

To those less informed, a good percentage of prostitutes are kept in the trade against their will by pimps. Some are victims of child or international human traffic rings. Police must be in the business of stopping prostitution, not feeding the demand!
This crime and coverup doesn't surprise me, but if there is no change in the way transgressors and court cases are handled, then shame on the system. One of too many problems in our society to address.
This individual should have the decency to resign. I don't want him 'protecting' me or my family and friends. If he must stay, put him on a trafficing task force with obligations to end prostitution (with lots of supervision!)
a resident of another community
on Jan 16, 2013 at 1:41 pm
From the Huffington Post story, Santa Clara D.A. Rob Baker has now changed his story about not prosecuting Vasquez.
Originally he said he could not secure a conviction without the prostitute herself being convicted, and the defense attorney knew this (Almanac article).
After I pointed out here how outlandish that statement is given Vasquez's confession, he now reasons:
Baker said he wanted to prosecute both cases, but when Ramirez "got the benefit" of having her case dismissed, it "didn't sit well" with him to continue to go after Vasquez.
One thing I do believe: if Baker gets caught doing something by Menlo Park P.D. (or any Bay Area cop), he'll get a pass on it too.
a resident of another community
on Jan 16, 2013 at 1:44 pm
To Please Resign:
You are indeed correct that a good percentage of prostitutes are "victims of child or international human traffic rings."
The Lost Innocence Project at the FBI cites My Redbook, the site that Vasquez frequented, as one of the worst offenders for child trafficking. Not saying that Vasequez used an underage prostitute, but there certainly have been dozens and dozens of stings over at My Redbook, where they have found underaged prostitutes.
From NBC Los Angeles: Web Link
Anaheim police uncovered a child sex trafficking operation in Orange County, and think there may be more victims.
A federal grand jury has indicted a couple on charges of selling the sexual services of two girls, ages 14 and 17.
Detectives say they stayed in motels, paid for their rooms in cash and hired out the two teenagers as prostitutes.
According to a federal complaint, the suspects advertised the girls on websites like myredbook.com, claiming they were 19 years old. They were actually 14 and 17.
a resident of another community
on Jan 16, 2013 at 1:52 pm
Lurker, you are obsessed with trying to link incidents of child prostitution on Redbook to this situation. This situation is bad enough. It didn't involve child prostitution. The fact the web site has those allegations associated with it doesn't mean Vasquez had anything to do with child prostitution when he saw this prostitute. He saw an adult prostitute. The controversy here is should he keep is job as a result of that, and did law enforcement engage in a cover up over that. When you introduce these allegations, as you have repeatedly done, all you achieve is the Almanac locking the threads, which I think Mr. Vasquez would thank you for. Please stop.
a resident of another community
on Jan 16, 2013 at 2:24 pm
No, Confession, I am not "obsessed" with trying to link Detective Vasquez to child prostitution. While he may have solicited the services of an of-age prostitute, the FBI will tell you that My Redbook is also heavily involved in child trafficking. Certainly just about every law enforcement officer in the country knows this, and readers here need to be made aware of it.
I should say that I investigated My Redbook and child trafficking for a national magazine in 2006. For the story, I interviewed FBI agent Mick Fennerty of the Lost Innocence Project. The FBI has made a point to educate law enforcement across the country about My Red Book and child trafficking. And my gosh: even San Mateo County law enforcement did a sting on My Redbook where they found underaged prostitutes. Here's a story from the San Francisco Examiner: Web Link
Because My Redbook is so entwined with child trafficking, NO law enforcement officer in their right mind should be going near the place - even to hire an of-age prostitute. It showed incredibly bad judgement by Vasquez to enlist the services of this place
For my story, by the way, I interviewed a girl who had been a prostitute at age 15 on My Redbook. Just heartbreaking.
Please educate yourself about this place. Lots out there. And read "Please resign"'s comment too.
It's just too bad Vasquez wasn't working to shut down My Redbook, instead of frequenting it. Too many women have been destroyed by this place.

I don't want Vasquez, Brackett or any of these jokers showing up at my house when there is a problem. Although the POA will fight it, the citizens of Menlo Park deserve to know when the internal affairs division has scanned every officers phone records for calls to Redbook while on duty, and fired these individuals without pay or pension.
a resident of Menlo Park: Felton Gables

One of the issues was that Vasquez was doing this on city time.
a resident of Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks
on Jan 17, 2013 at 10:41 am
What this officer did was far less egregious than what Al Gore did in a Portland Oregon Massage parlor. At least the officer's behavior was consensual. This double standard of going after people not in positions of power and giving powerful people a pass shows the true hypocrisy of our legal system.
The police officer should keep his job but not be allowed to work Vice cases.
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Jan 17, 2013 at 11:57 am
@Hypocrisy --
He should not be able to keep his job. He was doing something illegal on city time. He is an officer of the law plus this wasn't his first time. End of story.

City Manager and the Mayor should take care of this.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 1:58 pm
Hypocrisy: NO law enforcement officer should be enlisting the services of anyone who "works" for Redbook.
Every law enforcement agency in this country knows what a good portion of their business is - child trafficking - and that Redbook has been in the crosshairs of the FBI for some time.
Please read up on this place AND the people who run Redbook, ( some have felony records, and it's not just for being pimps). Check out www.sfredbook. com and take a look at their forums - like the "Underground " Message forum and see what its "members" are saying. It's not just a discussion about prostitutes, believe me.
While we know that Vasquez hired a prostitute who was 32, given the hundreds of articles that have written about My Redbook and its association with child trafficking over the years, Officer Vasquez was acting in a reckless and self-destructive manner by hiring the services of this "organization" that employs underaged girls.
I have said before, Vasquez should be working to take down a place like Redbook.
Too many of the prostitutes who work for Redbook are young teens.
I would strongly suggest you hightail it over to www.sfredbook.com and look at their forums.

Michael Stogner - you mean the City Manager who blabbed about it in public, in the presence of a reporter, thus also breaking rules?
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 2:03 pm
Lurker, IIRC, people don't work for Myredbook; they place ads there for their services, from FBSM to full service. This means there are a melange of providers, incl the trafficked, the pimped & the solo sex worker. It's gotten to be even more popular since Craigslist shut down their section for sex workers. I'm not saying that they're nice people, but the ones who advertise don't have to be affiliated w/those who run it.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 2:04 pm
Michael Stogner: No. Given the subject matter, the City Manager would have a conflict of interest.
Remember, we only know about this story because of the intrepid Almanac reporter who overheard a conversation.
Is Vasquez the only law enforcement who has enlisted the services of My Redbook or are their others? What other incidents involving police officers don't we know about?
I hope the FBI is looking into this matter as well.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 2:15 pm
Hmm.... I am talking about the people who own Redbook and -more importantly the moderators, who do work for them.
I know a lot about Redbook and the people who run it, believe me.
If you do a simple Google search, you will be able to find the names of the owners, and more importantly the name of one of the moderators. He does indeed work for Redbook and he has quite the past. He - with his name - have been the subject on other topic forums such as "Topix." over at the Palo Alto Daily News. He's been the subject of lengthy discussion over at www.malesurvivor.org and www.websleuths.com; on crime blogs such as www.predatoralert.com, and www.jewishsurvivors.blogspot.com. He is well known to law enforcement.
I hope people who read this will take the time to find out who the moderator of Redbook is on their own.
That's all I am going to say. Do your homework, people.

Would you stop repeating the info about redbook ad nauseam? You post over and over and over. We get it. Let the conversation go back toto the actual topic. Start a thread about redbook if you can't stop yourself from interjecting it into every thread and then the people who WANT to talk about redbook can do so over there. TIA.

Post removed. This is getting way off topic. The original story was NOT about Redbook, although we have had plenty of data on the site.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 2:48 pm
Off topic: How is it off topic to write about Redbook, when that is the site where Vasquez found his prostitute?
How is it off topic when San Mateo County police officers have done stings on Redbook themselves? Aren't you interested to learn about the moderator of Redbook, who has ties to San Mateo County? How is it off topic to write about Redbook, when two members of the San Mateo Sheriff's office posted a message on www.jewishsurvivors.blogspot.com in 2009, asking for any victims of the Redbook moderator to contact them?
Connect the dots.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 3:09 pm
Lurker if anyone was interested they already have your many many posts of the same info to look at. Repeating yourself over and over does not help your credibility. You posted. We can see the info and follow up if we want to. Let it go. Some of us want to talk about THIS case. And I don't mean where he found a hooker.
a resident of another community
on Jan 17, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Lurker, you've made your point. It's a valid one. Please stop posting the same stuff about Redbook. It's just going to get this thread locked or deleted (whether you think that's the correct response or not). We all understand the issue: Vasquez obtained the prostitute while he was on working hours, from the Redbook site, which has had lots of law enforcement controversy surrounding it. It's understood.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Hello, ScorpioN!
My question is for Mr Ellefson.
Was he using a pick all the time or some of bass lines were recorded with his fingers?- Vlad
Hey Vlad,
Great question! David is known for using a pick to play the bass guitar, besides just being a kick-a$^ bass player. He uses a pick for tone, precision, and consistency both playing live and recording, so most all of the bass lines are recorded with a pick. He talks a little more about his decision to use a pick in his autobiography, "My Life With Deth", so you should check it out.
- 05/12/2014
Hello ScorpioN!
I play the electric guitar about a year and I think that I am very good at playing, but sometimes when I look for band looking for guitarist I find only bands looking for bass guitarist. So sometimes I think about playing the bass guitar. So I have a question to David, what is the most important in playing the bass guitar?
Thank you! Greeting from Poland!
BartekHey Bartek,
I commend you in wanting to diversify your musical talents! If there's a demand for bass players in your area, then by all means see what you can do. David is also a guitar player, so he had some great insight into your question.
"Playing the bass is similar to guitar in some skills but it really is a completely different role. You become the glue between the guitars and drums in a rock band so sometimes you play the guitar lines and others you play more rhythmically with the drums.
It is a fun instrument and in a live setting the bass is an undeniable presence in the room....enjoy! -David Ellefson"I hope that answers your question Bartek - go for it!

"Thrashing Through The Snow" was a skit they did just for Jimmy Kimmel Live! in December 2013. You can watch it here:

Hello ScorpioN!
I have read about the band recording a DVD on their next show in Buenos Aires on May 1st and as I haven't seen any official information I was wondering if it is indeed true.
Thank you!
SofiHey Sofi,
Wouldn't that be awesome?? We know that the Mega Machine likes to film in South America - the crowds are huge and loud and go all out for the band. However we also know that plans can change at a moment's notice due to unavoidable circumstances (ahem, Uruguay?) - so if a recording does happen, the Megadeth Cyber Army will be the first to know!
- 04/22/2014
I would like to know if the band name Megadeth ever appeared on any album covers with the spelling as Megadeath. A friend of my swears he had a copy of Killing Is My Business... With the Megadeath spelling back in the 80's but has since lost said copy but still insists that it exist. I said if he did have it. It must have been a bootleg or maybe a record company misprint, he gets very mad when I say that and tries to tell me that Dave changed the spelling after Killing wuz released but I have seen the story about how Dave got the name from a pamphlet on the bus ride home after the whole Metallica kicking him out thing and had changed the spelling before Megadeth even did there first show. The answer to this will end a long standing battle between myself and my friend.
Hey Travis,
Your friend has no idea what he's talking about and the battle is over! There positively is no album cover with the spelling "Megadeath"...case settled. I hope you had a good bet riding on this one!
- 04/14/2014
Greetings ScorpioN,
It has been quite a while now since the band has referenced its plans for the Youthanasia anniversary.
Youthanasia is one of my favourites and I am pretty stocked about whatever it is that the band feels like doing to commemorate such great album. Still, I was wondering if is there going to be a re-edition of the album, like those of Peace Sells and Countdown. I have been looking to get a copy of the Youthanasia/Hidden Treasures bundle but since those haven't been out for a long time, they get pretty expensive sometimes. So, my question for the Scorp is precisely related to that "bundle": are there any plans to re-release the Youthanasia/Hidden Treasures special or has the band not yet discussed this subject?Rafael.
Hey Rafael,
Youthanasia is one of my favorites too! I would really like to see and re-edition, but there's just no telling if that'll happen yet. Anything is possible and there's still lots of time for the Megadeth camp to decide. Make sure to keep an eye on Megadeth.com/news for any updates.

Aside from 'The Who', I can't remember a Super Bowl halftime show worth even watching.... Why wouldn't Goodell and the NFL want an act that were actually real football fans, instead of all these pop culture posers??? Scorp, you gotta pull some Stings, I mean STRINGS, and get Megadeth in there in 2015.......
Joe- PA (U.S.A)
Hey Joe,
That's a very good question. One I would like to know myself. I'm guessing it has something to do with the NFL thinking they want to appeal to the widest audience, and "pop" is short for "popular", so there ya go. Due to my anatomy, trying to pull strings usually ends up as clipping strings. Dave won't let me near his guitar...
- 04/01/2014
Hello ScorpioN,
I've noticed that many of Megadeth's song- and album titles are divided in two, like Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, Rust In Peace... Polaris and Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
Is there any particular reason why Megadeth does that?
My regards to you, Dave, Chris, David and Shawn,
Hi Lucas,
That is very observant of you but no, there is no particular reason there are two-part titles. I think Dave likes to get the whole thought process about a song or album into the titles, which sometimes you can say in one or two words and sometimes you can't.
Thanks for your question...until next time.
- 03/25/2014
I've been listening to the CTE album a lot recently, but it always seems to me that the song Psychotron and Ashes In Your Mouth do not belong to the collection of songs on that album. The song length, style, dynamics and rhythms are very different to the rest of the album. These two tracks sound like they belong more to the Rust In Peace collection of songs.
Were these 2 songs originally written for the RIP album perhaps?
Ian from Ireland
Hey Ian from Ireland,
When you have a catalog like Megadeth, the collection of bits and pieces, riffs, and lyrics are never-ending. Even for Super Collider, Dave said they had the idea to cover "Cold Sweat" years ago. The songs "Psychotron" and "Ashes In Your Mouth" were written long after the Rust In Peace era, but even Dave told me that it's still possible that to some degree they could have started during those times.

What a great question Liam! I went to each of the guys to find out what gig stood out to them the most - which is tall order considering the extent of their live show careers. Here's what they had to say...
Dave Mustaine: We keep setting the bar higher for ourselves, as the world starts to get over the BS feuds and just listen to us for our musical merit. If I had to choose from what we have done so far, it is a very broad question: do you mean live, indoor, outdoor, on TV, acoustic, with a guest, with an all-star line-up, in my country, overseas, etc., etc.
I like playing in my front room the best.
Shawn Drover: For me it is The Forum in Montreal - 2005. This was the venue I dreamed of playing as a teenager watching all my favorite bands perform. In my mind I always hoped that one day I would be in a successful band and headline the Forum - luckily for me, it actually did happen (many times since then, as well). So although I have played countless amazing venues/shows over the years, the Montreal Forum will always be a special venue for me.
David Ellefson: Rock in Rio 1991 is still one that stands out as an all time favorite. It was the largest crowd we'd ever played to (140,000 people) and our first time to Brazil and South America. It stands as one of my best concert memories ever!
Chris Broderick: For me, it would be the first Big 4 in Warsaw!!!! We had just met all of the other bands and gotten a good comradery going and the show was around 120 thousand people (further then the eye could see)! It was amazing.

Dear Dave,
I always wondered, where did the idea of Vic Rattlehead come in. How did you think him up?
Hey Tanis,
Dave talked quite a bit about the creation of Vic in his autobiography, "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir". He said the logo incorporated his feelings about religion and repression and freedom of expression. Vic also has his eyes, ears, and mouth clamped shut, representing "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil". The creation of Vic is the centerpiece of the song "Skull Beneath The Skin" from Megadeth's first album, "Killing Is My Business ...And Business Is Good!".
Hint: pages 135-136 in Dave's book will fill you in.

Hey ScorpioN!
I have a question for you! I know Dave wrote"All I Want" from Super Collider for his wife, Pam. So the voices in the song belongs to her? Thanks, greetings from Turkey (:
Busra, Turkey
Hey Busra,
Yes, you are correct, the woman's voice in "All I Want" does indeed belong to Dave's wife Pam Mustaine. His daughter, Electra, is also on two songs off "Super Collider" - "Forget To Remember" and "Beginning Of Sorrow".
Thanks for your question!

Hey Scorp! I saw Megadeth in concert last year and I was wondering who does the media/animation for the guys?
Hey Walter!
Anyone who has been to a Megadeth concert in the last year or so would have noticed the GIANT screens and video production now being used during the show. Some of the clips are content from the past (like old music videos) and the rest of the content is from Charlie Terrell in Austin, Texas and John Lorenzi, one of our often-used and kick-ass artists. I think most fans would agree that the foray into a video-based production has added a whole new dimension to the shows!
- 02/18/2014
Hello ScorpioN,
I've noticed that Dave has been favoring the white long sleeves shirt, white wrist bands and blue jeans lately.
Noticed that he wore them in the Rust in Peace Live video and the Countdown to Extinction video.
He also wore the same outfit when Megadeth played in Everett, WA on July 30, 2013 @ the Comcast Arena.
Since then I've seen numerous tour pictures of him wearing the same outfit.
Does Dave choose to wear the same outfit for a special reason or significance?
Or is it simply because that is Dave's favorite tour "uniform" and he has multiple sets of the same outfit?
Or is it because Dave likes to pack extremely light on tour and just washes the same set of clothes after every show?
Nothing wrong with it, I kinda think it's cool because the white shirt makes him stand out on stage which helps the fan all the way in the back see him better.Thank you for your time!
Seattle, WAHey Jed from Seattle,
Dave has been wearing the white shirt and white wristbands for awhile now, but it is not the first time in the band's long performing career that he has chosen those. As a band that's been around for 30 years, you know their styles are going to change. Who can forget the grunge era flannel?? Dave doesn't have a particular reason he's wearing the white shirt, other than that's what he feels like wearing, which is always metal.

Dave and junior.. Looking back when you guys were first starting out it seems the market for metal was flooding with bands and there was no internet. (better music sales) It seems now there's kind of a drought when it comes to marketing up and coming metal bands.. Do you feel lucky to be born in the time you in as a musician? Do you see a good future for metal music?
Hey Jake,
Times have certainly changed haven't they? Both Daves have talked about the old days of "tape-trading" and how bands got the word out about their music. I don't know that there's necessarily a "drought" in marketing for bands, but it's more that customer demands and technology are so different.
No one can predict the future of metal music - but we have some pretty amazing, die-hard fans don't we? Dave has said that when things are bad, people get into metal more...so I guess that's both bad and good? I'm sure both Daves feel lucky to be living their dream and that they get to continue making music for the fans.
Thanks for your question and see you on the Killing Road!

I have a question about sound effects. What instrument or object created the sound at the beginning of and throughout the song "Almost Honest"? It's been bugging me for a while and I have come up empty in my search for the answer.
Kelly KrugHey Kelly,
That sound was a small file of a guitar pedal and a wah-wah pedal that was repeated several times at the top of the song. During the "Cryptic Writings" sessions, producer Dann Huff and Dave Mustaine determined that each song needed to be evaluated completely on its own merit. Having unique sounds like that make the songs very memorable, don't ya think?
Thanks for your question Kelly - I love the technical ones!
- 01/27/2014
This is a question for Shawn: I was wondering why you no longer use the whole custom rack you had going when you first joined the band. Is it just too much of a hassle to lug around on tour? Thanks!
~Daanish Chawala
Hi Daanish!
The custom rack was cool to use for a while, but it came with its share of problems. Drummers often like to "tweak" their kit quite a bit and with that Mega-rack, once it's set up, adjusting anything was a major undertaking, which is not a good thing. Add to that the extreme weight of it made it difficult and very costly to bring around the world. The Mega-rack in 2010, may it rest in peace……or rust………

I was watching a video of Dave Mustaine doing a gear run for the making United Abominations and I noticed he was using a prototype line 6 signature head. I'm a huge fan of Dave Mustaine and of course Megadeth and I was wondering what made him not want to continue using line 6 or this particular head?
Thank you very much,
ChrisDear Chris,
Keen eye you have there! The Line 6 was supposed to have been a Marshall amp modeler, and was really a good amp, but there is just nothing like the real thing with Marshalls...
- 01/13/2014
I've be learning the Scorpion on guitar and i'm wondering what was used to make the sound for the intro and the one break in the song.
intro 0:00 - 0:39
Hey Ian,
I'm flattered! I have a simple answer to your question...that sound was made using an an auto-panner and an MXR phaser.
Keep practicing!
- 01/06/2014
Hi Scorpion,
I'm a big fan of Countdown to Extinctions guitar sound and I believe it's a solid sound. I know about the guitars used but what Amps and Effects were used for the distorted tones?
Chirag G. From London England.
Hello Chirag from London, England!
The amps used were Marshalls, but the distorted tones are hard to pin down because the technology was from 20+ years ago. Max Norman might be able to be more specific, so I will ask him the next chance I get.
Thanks for your question!
- 12/30/2013
Dear Scorpion.
My question here is:
Was there any inspiration or backstory for play for blood? (one of the most underrated songs of Megadeth, and one of my favourites).
The lyrics in that song are simply amazing. Thanks for the time you put in answering some questions.Tomas, Argentina
Dear Tomas,
I'm glad you asked about that song, it's a great one and the underlying theme applies to so many people. It's actually a metaphor for all the crazy gaming cultures and how addictive the games become - ultimately creating a fantasy world where people no longer "play" for fun.
I personally don't play any games due to the lack of opposable thumbs, but I think there's no point unless you play for blood.
- 12/23/2013
Hi my name is Lucio and I wanted to know if on the 20th anniversary of Youthanasia they will play the entire disk as in the cases of CTE and Rust in Peace, or going to to make a selection of the best songs?
Cheers from Argentina!
Hey Lucio,
Megadeth will be kicking off the "Youthanasia 20th Anniversary Tour" in South America towards the end of April 2014. The band will be playing a selection of songs from Youthanasia. So while they might not play the entire album top to bottom, they will definitely be playing songs from that great album while celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its release. We do know that Dave likes to surprise the audience, so you just never know what's going to go down! Thanks for your question Lucio, and we'll see ya on the Killing Road!
- 12/17/2013
Hey Scorp,
My question is for Junior. Who is your favorite bassist, or who made you
pick up the bass? Aside from the infamous "Runnin' With The Devil" line ;)-Josh Holmes (SC)=
Hey Josh,
You can read all about David's musical influences in his new book, "My Life With Deth". He talks about hard rock from the 1970's and bassists like Gene Simmons catching his ear at the ripe old age of 10. He also mentions Geddy Lee, Phil Lynott, and even a few jazz musicians like Percy Jones and Anthony Jackson.
It's always nice to hear that the musicians we look up to are fans just like us!
- 12/09/2013
Dear Scorpion,
My question is this, why Megadeth never played "Truth Be Told" live?
I know many fans of the band who, like me, would love to hear it live. His chorus ("till the last, truth be told") is very powerful, in my opinion.
I've always loved this song, I've always imagined this choir shouting into a Megadeth show. I'm hopeful that one day included in the setlist! :)Thank you very much,
LeslieDear Leslie,
I can certainly relate to loving so many more songs than we get to hear live. Megadeth has over 100 songs in their catalog...can you imagine having to pick a small selection of those?? Many fans come to show because they want to hear the well-known tracks, like "Peace Sells" and "Hangar 18". The fact of the matter is that their set time is just not long enough to play some of the lesser known songs. That being said, we know that Dave likes to surprise his fans, so you just never know what he may throw in there!
You're welcome very much,
-ScorpioN - 12/02/2013
Hey Scorpion!
I was listening to FFF the other day, and I was wondering what was the
influence behind it. Was there a significant event going on at that time, or
did Mustaine have yet another stroke of genius when he wrote it?Cael McLeish
Bunbury, Western AustraliaP.S. I love reading all the Q&As that you've been doing, and I wish more
bands would add sections like this to their websites!Hi there Cael!
You might notice that "FFF" and "Bullprick" are musically similar. "FFF" was initially called "Bullprick" and was a demo. The inspiration behind the song was a dream Dave had, but the lyrics were really emotionally too much for the general public. The version he ended up singing is even tame compared to the dream he had. We might never know the extent of this dream, but the lyrics of both songs are pretty intense. I hope that answers your question Cael - thanks for asking and the kind words!
- 11/25/2013
I was just wondering what kind of hobbies does Dave have outside of music?
Hi Ron,
Dave's need for speed has been well documented over the years, from jumping out of perfectly good airplanes (which was the inspiration for "High Speed Dirt") to recently doing the Richard Petty racing experience and flying over the Pacific Ocean in a Siai Marchetti SF-260. Fast cars have been a consistent hobby over the years, and a race-inspired song usually makes its way onto studio albums. Dave also loves MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and is trained in more traditional marital arts. The other side of the adrenaline coin is that Dave loves to help others and counts that as not only a hobby, but a way of life that's important to him.

Hey Scorp!
Where did Dave meet Willie Gee? How did Willie get involved with Megadeth?
-Josh Holmes (SC)
Hey Josh,
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away...there lived a grim, sharp-tongued guy named Willie Gee. Although he wasn't originally a guitar tech, he just kinda knew how to get things done. Willie became known galaxy-wide as the best guitar tech around (who wouldn't drink all your liquor, make a pass at your girl and already wore black clothing), although it is still up for debate if he used The Force for good or evil - or for the greater good of eeeeeeee-villlll. Over the years, Willie has been a guitar tech for several notable metal bands, including King Diamond, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Hair Of The Dog, Immortal, Nevermore, and Eidolon. It was during his time with Eidolon that he was a tech for Glen Drover, though he met Glen when he was hired for King Diamond in 1998.
The universe's most state-of-the-art speed metal band, Megadeth, hired Glen Drover back in 2004, and Willie brought both his tech skills and coveted "guitar bar". A man of many hats (most of which say "Hatebreed" for some reason), Willie also served as Megadeth's stage manager for a short time. Willie became Dave's tech during a crew changeover near the end of Glen's time with the band, in the middle of 2007 ...but he'd always helped with things for Dave anyway. The rest, as they say, is history.
The End.

Hello Scorpion,
I've watched a few interviews on YouTube where Dave said Rust in Peace was written before Marty and Menza joined the band and the only exception would be Hangar 18. I was curious as to who wrote the parts Marty played in the album such as his solo in Tornado of Souls. Was it Dave or perhaps Chris Poland because I read he helped a little with demos?
Chris from Texas
Hey Chris,
There are so many moving parts to how a song comes together. A lyric here, a riff there...
A solo is just one piece of what makes a song, and would not be considered to be the sum of all parts. If you listen to the Rust In Peace demos, just like Dave would sing solos to Marty, some of the solos Dave sang to Chris are the same ones Marty played.
I guess what I'm saying is, recording parts and writing music is almost a living, breathing being, and everyone contributes pieces that are built upon, tweaked, and massaged into what you hear when you press 'Play'.
I hope that's as clear a mud...I wish I could sing solos...
- 10/28/2013
Dear Scorpion,
What does Dave mean when he sings about the lack and overdose of mercy killings in ...The Punishment Due? From what point of view are the lyrics speaking?
What an excellent question! Not only is "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" a cornerstone of the Megadeth catalog, but I personally love how the song has two chapters.
I believe the lyrics you are speaking of are:
"I know what I said now I must scream
Of the overdose and the lack of mercy killings"This line was based upon the Dr. Kavorkian trials that were happening at the time. He was known as "Dr. Death" and was famous for being a euthanasia activist. He claimed to have assisted at least 130 patients in physician-assisted suicide, and famously said, "dying is not a crime". Dr. Death was convicted of second-degree murder and served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007, on condition he would not offer suicide advice to any other person.
The "lack of mercy killings" is about forcing people to live that want to end their life.
Paging Dr. Kavorkian...

Diamonds and Movies
The recently completed Seventh Annual Baseball Film Festival, held at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum last weekend, has attracted not only a loyal following among fans of the genre but also a growing number of filmmakers who've returned more than once to showcase their latest work.
Returning for the third time was documentary filmmaker Craig Lindvahl, who this past weekend was showing The Perfect Place, one of 14 films that made up this year's festival, which uses the Cincinnati Reds to show how fans are connected to the game.
"This is a wonderful place to be," Lindvahl said after the Saturday night showing of his film at the Hall's Bullpen Theater. "It's people who love baseball, who understand what we're trying to say about baseball. It's unbelievable to have a reason to be in the Hall of Fame. Not just as a visitor but to have a reason to be here. As a filmmaker or a storyteller you really hope that you're striking a chord with people who understand what baseball is. There is no place in the world that is more the center of people who understand baseball that this building right here.
"I can't think of anything that would be more exciting to me than to think I could come back. So hopefully the next film I work on might be accepted and we might find ourselves back here in a year."
Brothers Nick and Colin Barnicle, sons of journalist Mike Barnicle, had a film accepted into the festival for a second consecutive year. Their entry, Polo Grounds, tells the story of the famed home of the New York Giants and the impact the area felt when the team left after the 1957 season.
"This is something that we're trying to do every year. I don't know if we'll get there but we love coming up here, we love being a part of the Hall of Fame, and this film, I think, really fits," said Nick Barnicle. "We were supposed to do other real work but we pushed it toward baseball, as usual, and tweaked it up to come up here, which is always on honor.
"It's nice to see so many people committed to making not only documentaries but just films in general about baseball. We grew up around the game. We attempt to make our living telling stories about baseball. So it's a thrill to meet other people who are doing the same thing."
The festival's closing film, Chasing 3000, was represented in Cooperstown by screenwriter/producer Bill Mikita, a first-time visitor to the Hall of Fame whose true story, about travelling with his brother to Pittsburgh in order witness Hall of Fame Roberto Clemente's 3,000th career hit, the film is based on.
"Growing up loving baseball, and with baseball such an important part my life, this really is a sacred place," he said after his film's Sunday afternoon showing. "And that it's on the 40th anniversary of Roberto Clemente's 3,000th hit is just incredible.
"My two passions are baseball and movies, and to have the two combined this weekend has been great."
Bill Francis is a Library Associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

These shoes have a very solid design. The weight might be an issue for some people who prefer very light shoes in general, but these are not overly heavy and provide a nice solid feel. They did at first feel a bit narrow for my foot, but I've had that issue a few times in the past. As I broke them in, they began to feel more an more comfortable, making the overall comfort level top notch.
While in a shoe store last year, I was told that MBT's were no longer available & the Co. went out of business. I was crushed since MBT's are the only shoes that make my feet happy! So glad to find MBT'S at Footwear, etc. & my feet are happy again, as am I! Great shoes! I get men's size because they aren't as tight.
a lifesaver for people who have had foot injuries and/or are arthritic in the feet
After many years my previous black kick arounds wore out but lasted much longer than any other shoes taking as much abuse as I dealt. These fit perfectly and I'm good for another.... probably ? years.
MBT's are great shoes. Bought my first pair as a lark about 10 years ago and have bought nothing else except slippers since. I'm so disappointed that they have fallen on hard times —everyone go buy a pair or two.
Fits perfectly!
This is a fantastic shoe, very durable and comfortable. I worn one pair of these until I have nearly worn them out, and have ordered four more pair, because I was afraid they might discontinue them, and I didn't want to risk that. I love the natural worn-looking leather which never needs polishing or buffing. They are great shoes. I used to have heel pain. Now that I wear MBT shoes for everything, dress, casual, sports, sandals, I have no more heel pain. I think MBT has saved me from having heel surgery.

How Online Payday Loan works
How payday loans work
A payday loan also referred to as cash advance it is a short-term cash advance intended to cushion you when you don't have immediate cash to spend over a pressing issue and the only option you are left with is to borrow. This money is borrowed with commitment of having it repaid on your next immediate payday.
