I bought xxl and was pleasantly surprised that they were a generous cut. No rear pleat but I was not looking to replicate a Ben Sherman - these are ok and for £13 they are good value.

The pic below is of a young man called Julian Bond. It dates from 1963, and comes from this post at garmsville.com. Worth a read, it's about the semiotics (verbal, visual, cultural 'codes') of Ivy League, and relevant to this thread in its conclusions.
'' The American 'Ivy League' style of dress fascinates.............. It was the style of dress which kick started Skinhead in London.''
Hmmm - I've got some reservations about this statement......

roytonboy.A lot has been said on this thread about the Ivy league influence on style here in Britain,astronauts and Motown artists have been mentioned too along with films and tv programmes so there was an influence from America at the time.
Vietnam was on the news all the time and it wasn't just the military that were on tv,White house spokesmen in suits and BDs,and it wasn't just the Astronauts in the space programme footage but the blokes in Mission control,my point is we were seeing a lot of Americans on tv and films and I definitely think that did have some influence .

Thanks Bunty.
Apologies if this website has been mentioned before:
And, if any of you guys have used them - for anything - what do you reckon?
The Tab-collar shirts look very nice. The 3-ply mohair suit with waistcoat in antique-gold looks lovely. There site does say their suits fit those that are slim or toned. It doesn't say anything about well-built (but not fat) short-arses, like myself.
As seeing as their shop is in the Grove area of W.London, I'll pop in there during the next month or so and see what the quality and sizing is like.
I'm in the Ladbroke Grove area quite often and haven't noticed the shop. Then again, it's mostly in the after-hours, and I'm more often than not 'slow-blink' drunk.

Firstly, I think he was using that statement to startle his readers and to reinforce his point about Ivy League clothing items having different significances in different places at different times.
Secondly, the vast majority of us didn't even know our clothes were Ivy-League-influenced. They were just items of fashion.
The guys in the famous Piccadilly Circus photo - let's be fair - were in the minimal skinhead gear. But hey! aren't those American-style button-down Oxford shirts? I'll bet the guy's point would seem to have more relevance if you could see the same blokes dressed up for an evening out.

3.95/5 rDev -6.6%
This is Blaecorn Unidragon made with Beechwood smoked malt to add a meaty note to it (hence the porcine in the name). The stout was also 100% aged in bourbon barrels for a few months.
This review is from the first ever cask of this beer at Stoddard's before it was released. Bottles should be coming later this year (mid-October). This cask version is the base beer before they aged it in Bourbon Barrels (hence the lack of bourbon).
A- Completely opaque dark black with a thin quarter of a finger of creamy fairly dark mocha brown head. Head has decent retention but fades to pretty much no head and doesn't really leave any lacing. Similar in appearance to Blaecorn.
S- Roasted malts, a little bit of chocolate, and a little bit of bacon meatiness hiding in the background. Slightly above average aroma strength. Alcohol very well hidden in the nose, but could have used a little bit more smokiness.
T- Similar to smell- roasted malts, chocolate, a tiny bit of espresso, some meaty bacon that doesn't have to much smoke to it and is fairly faint. There was a slight meatiness, but not really much of a smoked malt presence that I would have liked coming out. Overall it was definitely tasty and I think the bourbon-barrel finished product will be much better.
M- Slightly creamy, but definitely a little bit too thin for this type of stout, decent carbonation, very easy to drink especially at this high of an ABV. Major problem is the thinness, even thinner then I remember Blaecorn being (although I did have it awhile ago).
O- This was a decent beer that I definitely enjoyed drinking and would have again. It definitely didn't come without it's flaws though. First of all the beer was a tiny bit too thin, usually for stouts at this abv and aged in bourbon I like them a little bit thicker (this wasn't overly thin though, definitely had much thinner). Second of all I would have liked the smokiness to be a little bit more apparent.
That being aside, this beer did have a lot of redeeming qualities. For a 12.5% stout it was very easy to drink and the alcohol was definitely well hidden. The beer was flavorful, however I think I liked Blaecorn a little bit better. I'm really looking forward to the finished product of this beer, I think the bourbon will add a completely new dimension to the beer that will definitely improve the beer.

Cedar Grove, Savin Hill baseball join forces for teen play
Apr. 21, 2011
The ultimate goal of youth sports is for kids to have fun, compete, and learn, not just about the game, but also about an important values in life like teamwork, responsibility, and commitment. With that in mind, Cedar Grove Baseball and Savin Hill Baseball have come together to offer Babe Ruth baseball to as many children in the neighborhood as possible.
Tom Leahy and Mike Mackan from Cedar Grove Baseball have joined Mike Manning, Mike Christopher, and Tony King of Savin Hill Baseball to construct a league of six teams, with a total of around 90 children, ages 13-15. The games will be played at both Dorchester Park and McConnell Park throughout the season. For the first time, the teams will be mixed with Cedar Grove and Savin Hill kids on the same roster.

City sets $76.6m in capital funds for Mattapan and Dorchester
Apr. 21, 2011
Playgrounds in Dorchester and Mattapan will be refurbished, a Mattapan community center will be renovated, and an Uphams Corner municipal building will see its roof and gutters replaced under a City Hall five-year capital spending plan released last week.
In total, Mayor Thomas Menino's capital budget for fiscal years 2012 through 2016 funnels $57.4 million to Dorchester and $19.2 million to Mattapan. The $1.7 billion capital budget, which has $169 million in new project authorizations in fiscal year 2012, is funded through a mix of city bonds, state and federal grants, and some trust funds.
Out of the 17 neighborhoods that the city's capital plan funding takes into account, Dorchester placed fourth in total spending, while Mattapan came in ninth. Roxbury is first, with $172 million, much of that due to the $115 million effort to move the Boston Public Schools offices into Dudley Square's Ferdinand Building. Read more

New group formed to push business in 'Savin Hill Village'
Jan. 27, 2011
The effort to improve the quality of life in Savin Hill is taking a formalized step with the creation of a new committee focused on development along the neighborhood's business district.
The Savin Hill Village Business Development Committee, formed as a sub-committee of the Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association planning board, is dedicated to making improvements along what they are calling "Savin Hill Village," the stretch of Savin Hill Ave. from the MBTA station to the corner of Saxton St. After a brief organizational meeting late last year, the new group held its first formal meeting Monday evening at the offices of At Home Reality.
"What we're saying is that we have a nice thing that could be better," Don Walsh, a local resident and organizer of the group said in an interview with the Reporter. Read more

New Savin Hill clock rises in memory of Leo Lydon
Workers installed an impressive new time-piece on Savin Hill Avenue this morning: a clock named in memory of the late Leo Lydon, a lifelong Dorchester resident and judge who was a well-admired civic activist and youth mentor. Lydon died in a car accident in 2000. The clock has been paid for by donations raised over the last several years by friends and neighbors of Lydon, who held fundraisers and sold bricks to pay for the tribute.
"He was one of those rare people that nobody had anything bad to say about them," state Rep. Martin Walsh said in a 2007 Reporter story on efforts to memorialize Lydon. "He was respected and loved by all."
The clock has been installed just outside the Savin Hill MBTA station. The MBTA will provide the electricity needed to run the clock. Read more

Snow emergency ends at 6 p.m. Monday
Dec. 26, 2010
The city of Boston says that the snow emergency that went into effect yesterday will be lifted at 6 p.m. on Monday. The emergency order means that parking is prohibited on all major arteries in Boston.
In a noon hour press conference on Sunday, Gov. Deval Patrick said that service on the Mattapan high-speed trolley line would be suspended tonight and replaced with buses. All other public transportation is expected to follow a normal schedule.
"Residents are reminded to remain at home throughout the duration of this snow event and businesses tomorrow should consider asking employees to work from home," stated a press release issued by the city of Boston on Sunday morning. The city also is cautioning older residents or those with "health conditions" to "refrain from shoveling this heavy wet snow." Read more

Whether painting pottery or fusing together bits of glass, students at Paint'n Parrot leave the studio with a keepsake of their own design. With tons of ceramic pieces to choose from, artists can daub color onto plates, cups, and figurines during pottery-painting sessions tailored for kids or adults. Or they can create the surfaces themselves during fused-glass classes, which enable students to conjoin colorful slabs of glass into decorative dishes and Christmas-tree ornaments.
The recently renovated Landmark Skate and Fun Center offers families a cornucopia of indoor activities inside an air-conditioned entertainment emporium. A skating ring sets the stage for jaw-dropping pirouettes during open-skate sessions and private events. Hands and eyes concentrate their efforts against automated enemies in the arcade area, and a techno-dance area lets feet showcase their rhythmic floor-touching skills. For kids, the play zone boasts a series of super slides and a balloon room, where children can safely bounce around without fear of sailing off into space.
Housed in a yellow barn, Batter's Box Family Fun Center is a flourishing farm with batting cages and miniature-golf challenges. At the 18-hole, tropical-themed Adventure Island Course, miniature golfers move their tiny feet past putting obstacles that include fountains and the shipwreck of the S.S. Minnow. At the fun center's five batting cages, softballs and baseballs catapult themselves at bat-wielding hitters. Having chosen between softballs and baseballs, batters can pick their cage based on its pitch speed, which ranges from a slow softball arch to a 70-mph fastball. Those looking to host group events or celebrate their birthdays at Batter's Box can rent an upstairs party room where guests mingle and indulge in gourmet cupcakes.
More sweets abound at So-Yo Frozen Yogurt Shop, a haven of self-serve frozen treats that boasts 15 different flavors on a given day. Guests crown crested caps of yogurt with 30-plus toppings before kicking back on a country-style outdoor deck to revel in their custom creation.
Putt-putt, skee-ball, air hockey?competition takes on many forms at Funntasia Family Fun Center. The whole family can have fun here, whether they're playing one of the aforementioned games or competing for total control of the TV remote on the various arcade games. A kid-friendly operation, the center also makes for a suitable venue for birthday parties and other get-togethers.

I'm Curious about Canonical's future. Ubuntu stuff seems to stay Ubuntu only.
Phoronix: It Looks Like Systemd Will Win The Debian Init Battle
While an official announcement has yet to be issued by the Debian technical committee, yesterday's Debian init system vote started by Bdale Garbee has come out in favor of systemd...
I'm Curious about Canonical's future. Ubuntu stuff seems to stay Ubuntu only.
At least a decision has been made - that is usually the important thing. Both Upstart and SystemD would technically have worked as an init system.
To be fair as a basis for a server distribution, the Red Hat technology is probably slightly preferable as that's the platform all the companies will be targeting. I don't really think that anyone really thought any other solution was going to be chosen.
Canonical need to work with other people more. Note that Red Hat seem happy to let Ubuntu "own" the desktop space - they could quite easily be trying to squash Ubuntu with Fedora but they are have chosen to position it as the "cutting edge/pro developer" Linux distro.
To be honest, I've started finding it rather fishy that Canonical would be trying to delay this as much as possible.
I mean, I can understand making sure that everything is in the best interests but they've already decided that systemd is.
The part about delaying to go back and change some wording in the voting ballot, sounds to be like a desperate attempt to buy time. Why would canonoical/Ubuntu try to buy time, you might ask? I'm thinking because if Debian switches to systemd right now, they could probably do it faster than Canonical/Ubuntu can and that could mean that Ubuntu loses a chunk of their users (both server and desktop) back to Debian.
So I'm thinking that it's not just this systemd vs. upstart going on, it's Canonical trying to buy some time so they're ready for a switch to systemd. Canonical is already heavily invested in upstart and they've got some Long-Term Support releases based on Upstart so they can't just quickly decide not to support upstart anymore like Debian can by kicking out a new release.
No matter what happens, Canonical is potentially going to get stuck supporting upstart for *YEARS* without getting much help from Debian devs.
Going back and reword the ballot? There's only 8 people that actually use the ballot! Just send them an e-mail~!

Ask any kind of support personnel at MS what it's like to be tech support for the rabble...
Glad to see systemd finally win the vote, even though it was to be expected. Now all that is missing is a vile blogpost from Shuttleworth, to make it truly official.
And what *REALLY* drives me up the wall is the suggestion that the voting ballot that bdale writes, no matter how he writes it, has some problem with it.
bdale was a Project Leader of Debian. In my opinion, some of these emails seem pretty insulting to somebody with such high credentials.
If there is still unresolved issues, ask for another vote! But don't go back and say that somebody like bdale should reword the ballot he made. Acting as if he doesn't even know how to make a proper voting ballot is just not cool.

Good to know systemd is chosen.

The reportedly increasing sexual assaults against women in India are a matter of shame for all Indian citizens. A careful analysis of the various authentic studies conducted by the National Crime Records Bureau, the Human Rights Watch and other agencies reveals most rapes go unreported in India as elsewhere in the world due to the victims' fear of retaliation or humiliation. The majority of victims has been in the 18-30 year age group. Of them, 12.5 percent of victims are minors in India, compared with 17.4% in the United States. More than 7,200 minors are raped each year in India. In sex trafficking and crime against minors India ranks the seventh worst while China ranks first, Russia eleventh and Indonesia fourteenth.
The analysis reveals that in 2012, over 24,923 rape cases were reported across India. Its five- year average ( 2007-2011 ) was 22,000 rapes a year. The total reported number of rapes was highest in Madhya Pradesh, followed by Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. New Delhi had the highest number of rape reports among the Indian cities, followed by Mumbai. Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh had the highest per capita incidence of rapes. The rape rate per 100,000 people was highest in Mizoram (10.4), followed by Tripura, Meghalaya, Sikkim and Assam. India accounted for a rape rate of 2 per 100,000 people, compared to 8.1 in Western Europe, 14.7 in Latin America and 40.2 in Southern African region. The annual rape rate in India increased from 1.9 to 2.0 per 100,000 people over the 2008-2012 period. It was 1.2 in Japan, 3.6 in Morocco, 4.6 in Bahrain, 12.3 in Mexico, 24.1 in the United Kingdom, 28.6 in the United States, and 114.9 in South Africa.
The growing crimes against women in India prove how hollow our claims to some of the finest historical traditions and constitutional human values really are. India's Constitution demands its state governments to protect women's fundamental rights, but almost all governments have failed on the matter. As has been found in some of the recent rape cases in the country, such crimes have allegedly been committed not only by local goons but also by influential politicians and police officials. Recent statements made by some ruling party leaders in some states clearly show the government trivializes rape thereby encouraging the callousness of its officials in dealing with the cases of violence against women.
The scenario depicted above demands that all conscientious Indians, irrespective of their gender, caste, creed, region or religion, must stand united and prevail over the new government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and take effective measures to protect women's rights in the country. The central government is under moral and legal obligations to invent ways and means to make the state governments function in a way that female citizens' rights are not violated.
Significantly, the Government of India has recently reformed its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault. Also, India's Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi has assured that the Center will set up cells to provide ambulance services and medical and legal help for rape victims. But all this is unlikely to be of much help. The crimes against women have to be stopped before they are committed. As is the pattern, the anti-social elements indulge in such crimes under various pretexts. During the partition of India they were estimated to have kidnapped and raped over 100,000 women on both sides of the border spreading hatred against the followers of each other's religions. In the post-Independence landscape these anti-social elements committed such crimes under other hate-fueled pretexts, including caste-based ones.
The conscientious citizens of India must be vigilant to make the governments at the Center and in the states function in the manner they are supposed to under India's Constitution. Pertinently, the entire enlightened international community today has to be vigilant to defend women's rights the world over. It should prevail over the United Nations and other liberal democratic governments -- the US Administration in particular -- to have a broader canvas and address the violations of women's rights everywhere.
The statistics mentioned earlier in this piece clearly suggests the women's rights scenario is not bright even in some of the Western nations. This has to be set right everywhere. The United Nations system was created with a mandate to foster development of all sections of humanity; this section must not be overlooked. As for the United States, it claims to be a messenger of a 'manifest destiny' with the mission to spread the great human values enshrined in its own constitution. The US International Violence Against Women Act—House Resolution 3571 and Senate Resolution 2307—calls to address the problems of violence against women in countries where it is engaged in foreign assistance.
One might suggest that they focus on the evil of Wahhabism. This doctrine has been spreading a highly fanatical version of the peace and justice- loving religion of Islam. It has caused some of the worst forms of violence against women in a large part of the world, including the Middle East and South Asia. The doctrine justifies crimes against women such as female genital mutilation and forced child marriage. Under its influence many regimes in the Muslim world have been practicing several policies detrimental to their female populations. According to a report in
magazine, Saudi Arabia practices the notorious guardian system, under which a woman must have a male relative's permission to marry, procure a passport or travel . She cannot drive. Even today only 16% of women work in the Kingdom.
According to a study, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been spending billions of dollars in patronizing mosques, madrassas, journals and cleric training programs, with the aim of exporting Wahabism. Together with Abu Dhabi, Riyadh today pumps into certain Ahle Hadith and Deobandi madrasas an estimated $ 100 million annually to spread Wahhabism the world over.
Middle East observer Jonathan Schanzer says that in recent years there have been "systematic, massive and explicit efforts" at Talibanization led by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Islamist organization has "imposed strict rules on women, discouraged activities commonly associated with Western or Christian culture, oppressed non-Muslim minorities, imposed Sharia law, and deployed religious police to enforce these laws."
According to reports appearing in leading international newspapers, including
The Guardian
and T
he Washington Times,
Hamas operates against its Palestinian enemies as the Taliban does against its Afghani enemies. In 2009 Hamas banned girls from riding behind men on motor scooters and forbade them from dancing. In 2010, it banned the smoking of hookah by women in public. In March 2010 Hamas tried to impose a ban on women receiving salon treatment from male hairdressers. Even women journalists are not being spared. In 2007, Islamic group Swords of Truth threatened female TV broadcasters: "We will cut throats, and from vein to vein, if needed to protect the spirit and moral of this nation." In 2009 some Hamas policemen attempted to arrest Palestinian journalist Asma al Ghul under the pretext that she went to a Gaza beach without a hijab. They accused the journalist of laughing loudly while swimming with her friend.
Pakistan-based Council of Islamic Ideology has recently dubbed laws related to minimum marriage age as un-Islamic. It has even ruled that women are un-Islamic, saying their mere existence contradicts Sharia and the will of Allah. CII Chairman Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani has said that to protect Islam and the Sharia, women should be forced to stop existing . He has been quoted as saying , "We can divide all women in the world into two distinct categories: those who are haraam and those who are makrooh…..The former is categorically forbidden while the latter is disliked… Any woman that exercises her will is haraam.. and is conspiring against Islam and the Ummah; whereas those women who are totally subservient can reach the status of being makrooh. .. Whether a woman is allowed to breathe or not be left up to her husband or male guardian, and no woman under any circumstance whatsoever should be allowed to decide whether she can breathe or not. "
Ironically , most of the liberal governments have by and large chosen to look the other way as the Wahhabist regimes have proceeded with their ever-backward socio-economic agenda. Washington has even been militarily aiding some of the regimes practicing Wahhabism to perpetuate their rule . It has of late also been supporting, often covertly, groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and the Taliban, whose anti-women view is antithetical to all cherished values of humanity.

The Celtics gathered in Waltham today for the final practice of their regular season. While two games remain for Boston before the playoffs begin, all of the talk was understandably centered around the Celtics' first round matchup, which is now set in stone against the New York Knicks. In contrast to their counterparts, Doc Rivers and company had nothing but praise for the Atlantic Division champions. CelticsHub was live on the scene for it all.
Doc Rivers on the Knicks: "It's going to be a fun series. They earned the central…or whatever division we are in. They've had a hell of a year. They really have. You know, you talk about Carmelo and all that, but they've had a lot of injuries too. Woody has done an amazing job.
Doc on the Knicks' biggest challenge: "Carmelo is their biggest challenge. He's their best player. They have a lot of good players though and veterans. It's rare we go into a series where a team has more veterans than us. They do and that always plays well in the playoffs. They are going to be a very difficult opponent.
Doc on the Knicks' three-point shooting: "That's what they do and they do it well. They have a ton of great shooting. They don't get the threes, because they are great shooters, they get the 3′s because they spread the floor well, they're well coached, they drive and kick, post and kick. I go back to Carmelo. He's done a great job with scoring and giving up the rock."
Kevin Garnett on Knicks' recent run: Melo's playing unbelievable. Their whole team is playing connected. They are going to be a task at hand and something to reckon with. We got our work cut out for us."
Garnett on defending NYK: "We definitely have to take the three's away. Slow down the transition, they love to run at home and on the road. We have to be connected, know what our gameplan is in our sleep.
Jason Terry on starting over this postseason: "I'm anxious to get out there. The playoffs is a new season and I'm anxious to get my new season started.
Terry on his tough season: "I got a lot to prove, as does our team. We didn't finish up particularly well. Us being healthy is a key factor. Us going up there, where we've won one time this year. We're confident, but we're not overconfident. We must go out and execute the gameplan."
A couple other factors of note:
—Paul Pierce missed practice today due to illness. He's expected to play tomorrow.
—Jeff Green is still good to go, after the bumps and bruises he suffered over the weekend in Miami and Orlando. He wants to play in the full 82 games. Rivers joked Green only wants to play because he has an incentive in his contract.
—Doc said the team's playoff rotation is set, but could change at any point after a couple games.
—Terry will probably sit out the team's final two games according to Doc, to rest his sore legs. Rivers says he plans to sit guys in the final couple games, but wouldn't say who, and when exactly. An educated guess would be to look for Pierce and KG to see action tomorrow night, before getting a few days of rest before Game 1, likely to be Saturday afternoon.
—Doc indicated it would be a mix of Brandon Bass, Green and Pierce to guard Melo for the seven-game series, with a lot of the matchups depending on foul trouble.
More on the way, live from Celtics practice.

Hardline activists sought to unseat Rep. Donna Edwards over her Mideast views, but failed to raise enough money.
Glenn F. Ivey, the former Prince George's County prosecutor who had announced plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) is quitting the race, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (D-MD) announced today that Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is endorsing her candidacy for re-election in Maryland's 4th Congressional District.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives today killed a Democratic resolution condemning U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, for saying last week that Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would be "very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine."
Rep. Donna Edwards appears to be in solid shape to win re-election four and a half months before the Maryland Democratic primary, according to an internal poll from her campaign.

- " Perfect location (city center and 3 min to the airport bus stop); everything you'd expect from a large chain hostel - lacking a bit in character, but very clean and convenient. Really cool that there's a bar. However, you have to pay extra for a cover sheet, and separately for a blanket. why??? obviously mostly everyone doesn't pay this, so vin summer people end up just sleeping on bare matresses & using the one sheet you get for the cover, doesn't seem hygienic! "

- " A great hostel for so little money. Breakfast and free wifi included, so great value for money. Bed was comfortable, and luggage room was provided - very convenient for after I had checked out but still had the rest of the day in Barcelona. Had a fantastic view from the 14 dorm room of the street, great big windows.One lift for the entire complex meant sometimes waiting 5-10 minutes - not too bad for the fifth floor, but if you were any higher, this would have been difficult with luggage. "

- " Staff could learn some customer service skills, especially when one arrives and does not speak the language and does not know the city yet, and is tired! Look at least a bit happy about anything or get another job away from people and tourists. "
- 07 Jul 2014 Valencia USA
- " Despite the fact that wifi was advertised as being available through the hostel, we were only able to connect to it up in one little room on the 7th floor--a problem I assume everyone was having, as there would be about 30 people crowded in there every night to check email, books reservations, etc. There were also only 6 power outlets in our twelve-person dorm room, and the laundry facilities were very expensive (6 euro to wash & dry one load). Only 2 women's shower stalls were on our floor "
- 07 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " One of the better breakfasts I have come across, WIFI worked but not always, I was able to leave my luggage all day in a secure locker after I had checked out, met some great people, rooftop bar, good common area within the kitche eating area. Overall I would defintely recommend! "
- 28 Jun 2014 Anonymous Australia
- " It is a very pleasant suprise when you see one of the Gaudi's house emerging from the train station in Passei de Gracia. Everything is so well organized at the hostel and the location is excellent, in the middle of everything. Breakfast is decent. "
- 06 Jun 2014 Thi Thanh Le Vietnam
- " Huge hostel in a gorgeous building with many levels and many bathrooms and many rooms. The staff is very friendly but the location is far from airports, bus stations and train stations. You will most likely get lost trying to find it. The bathrooms get FILTHY by the end of the day, though, so take your showers as soon as possible. "
- 16 May 2014 Anonymous USA
- " I stayed at 6 hostels during my travels in Europe and this was by far the worst. They charge you separately for a towel, a top sheet, and a blanket. The kitchen is tiny. The breakfast is a joke-- white bread, milk and cereal. The mattresses have stains and look disgusting. The light in the bathroom turns off after 60 seconds, so unless you want to shower in the dark, you have to open the door and wave your hand around. The common room looks like a university cafeteria. "

Great phone with a single terrible flaw
by BoostFan on September 6, 2012
Pros: Durable and Reliable
Decent camera for a feature phone
Sensitive and responsive touchscreen
Loud ringer, decent call clarity
Supports external storage and uses the same common video format used by the PSP.

Goodbye Rumor Touch, hello Rumor Reflex
by Swoll3n on May 1, 2012
Pros: Faster core processor than Rumor Touch

Summary: I went from the LG Rumor Touch to the Rumor Reflex. I definitely dig the increased performance of the hardware. The touchscreen is slightly improved. The 1st battery w/ the phone would die after 1 day of charging. Got a replacement battery and now it lasts 2.5 days. Coming from the Rumor Touch lasting 4-5 days of normal below average talk time, this was disappointing. The keypad on the Rumor Touch was way easier to see in all angles, but the Rumor Reflex did away with the nice keyboard color scheme and replaced it with silver keys and blue lights. You can still make everything out, holding it at the right angle, but is annoying. This is not a high-end Andriod-esque phone and shouldn't be confused as such. For the average user, who doesn't want to upgrade to Android data plans on Sprint, this phone is perfect. Plenty of apps/games to choose from. Opera Mini works great on this phone. Overall, if I could get the battery to stay charged for 3 days or so, I'd be happy. I just decreased the screen brightness and display options to minimize battery use. Will see if this prolongs battery life any more.

I wasn't a big fan of this climb. From the bottom the line looks awesome, an overhanging arete, but as I climbed, it felt really contrived. Some of the bolt placements are awkward, especially the bolt protecting the crux, which is about 4 feet away from the arete - since you are climbing on the arete at that point, you get some really awkward and painful falls. Also, there's a key left hand below the crux that is getting very loose, and will require epoxying soon. On the plus side, you can move around the arete to super easy climbing and slop your way (like I did the first time) up to the chains to avoid leaving draws on the route. Also, I've never seen anyone working any routes on the Adjective, to you have the climbs to yourself.
Route is the farthest right line on the Adjective wall. Lower off (there isn't a walkoff)

* required fields
By John Gregerson
Thermal imaging shows pavement temperatures in Phoenix exceeding 150 degrees Fahrenheit. These pavement surfaces transfer heat to the ground; that heat is then released at night, contributing to the heat island effect. The pavement's heat can also warm stormwater.
Some technologies, such as permeable options, may reduce the need for other infrastructure, such as stormwater drains, thus lowering a project's overall expenses. Those savings, however, are not reflected in this table.
Over time, asphalt tends to lighten as its binder, typically petroleum derivatives, oxidizes and its aggregate, typically sand and stone, is exposed as a result of wear. Concrete, on the other hand, tends to darken as a result of foot and vehicular traffic. As a result, SRIs for concrete can fall to 25 in as few as five years, while SRIs for asphalt can rise to 20 in seven years. To ensure values don't drop below the prescribed threshold, concrete may require pressure washes.
zpermeable pavement (bottom)promotes cooling via water absorption and evaporative cooling. While the water passes from air voids to underlying soil, residual moisture evaporates once the pavement warms, extracting heat in a manner similar to natural green landscape cover. However, the potential cooling impact is affected by season and moisture availability.
Standard black asphalt (below)has an SRI rating of 100 and offers no reflectance, although aggregates can improve the rating. LEED 7.1 requires that reflective materials carry an SRI of at least 30 using ASTM E 1980, Standard Practice for Calculating Standard Reflectance Index of Horizontal and Low-Sloped Opaque Surfaces.
The sun never sets on environmental issues.
In fact, in dense urban areas, matters can heat up once the moon rises. That's when the phenomenon known as urban heat island (UHI) casts it longest shadow, as rooftops and other solar-friendly surfaces begin radiating the heat they've gathered throughout the day.
The EPA indicates that the annual mean air temperature of a city of 1 million or more can be 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit higher than its rural surroundings. At night, the difference can be as great as 22 degrees, triggering rising air conditioning costs, greenhouse gas emissions and heat-related illness.
There is also the issue of smog – that tell-tale haze that hovers over summer skylines, posing additional hazards to human health.
The degree to which pavements, walkways and the like contribute to UHI isn't fully understood, though USGBC targets such surfaces for LEED certification.
The terms – as outlined in LEED's Heat Island Effect: Non Roof Credit 7.1 – are fairly clear cut. Owners can earn a single point toward certification by locating a minimum of 50% of parking spaces underground, in covered, structured parking, or by undertaking "hardscaping" measures that incorporate shading devices – think photovoltaic canopies – and reflective surfaces. More specifically, the measures call for:
Results aren't as easy to summarize.
Owing to the canyon-like character of urban settings, solar energy doesn't pierce pavement to the degree it does rooftops, says Howard Marks, director of environmental health and safety with the Lanham, MD-based National Asphalt Pavement Association. Nor, says Marks, do pavements exert the same influence on energy consumption as roofs do. "Roofs are thin and readily transfer heat inside the building," he says. "Pavements don't."
While acknowledging that pavement design can assist in reducing surface temperatures, Marks maintains that science has yet to demonstrate that pavements – or the remedial measures prescribed by USGBC – have a determinative impact on heat island effect.
Marks has his supporters, including Jay S. Golden and Kamil E. Kaloush, a pair of researchers at Arizona State University who have argued that "planting more trees, increasing reflectivity or changing pavement types grossly overstates and simplifies the value of those mitigation strategies."
"It's difficult to break down UHI into granular detail to account for the unique contributions of roofs, pavements, trees and shrubs," acknowledges David Shepherd, director of sustainable development with the Skokie, IL-based Portland Cement Association. "From a bird's eye view, it's easy to deduce that each plays a role. If we didn't see base temperature differentials in cities such as Phoenix, home of the quintessential heat island, we'd be more apt to challenge that assumption."
Pore Better or Pore Worse?
Additional controversy surrounds the exclusion of permeable pavements from Credit 7.1. Though relatively novel, such systems are endorsed by the EPA, with the proviso that "further field testing and validation would help to quantify and clarify the range of impacts and benefits of permeable pavements on urban climates."
Originally designed for stormwater control, permeable asphalt and concrete promote cooling via water absorption and evaporative cooling. While the water passes from air voids to underlying soil, residual moisture evaporates once the pavement warms, extracting heat in a manner similar to natural green landscape cover.
"Side by side, some porous pavements perform better than reflective ones," says Marks.
The problem, says Shepherd, is that moisture availability varies by region and season.
Add to that the lack of an accepted means to assess the performance of permeable pavements, and it becomes clear why USGBC has cast its lot with high-reflectance materials, whose performance is measured on the basis of solar reflectance and thermal emittance. The resulting value, known as Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), denotes surface temperature relative to a standard black and standard white surface. LEED 7.1 requires that reflective materials carry an SRI of at least 30.
Not Quite Black and White
That's a criterion asphalt can't easily meet, given that SRIs vary from 100 for standard white surfaces to zero for standard black ones, as calculated using ASTM E 1980, Standard Practice for Calculating Standard Reflectance Index of Horizontal and Low-Sloped Opaque Surfaces.
Some owners have responded by adding light-colored pigments and sealants to asphalt's surface. According to Marks, other potential solutions include:
By virtue of its coloring, concrete is considerably more reflective than conventional asphalt, and carries SRIs ranging from the low 30s to low 50s, according to Shepherd. Concrete made of white portland cement can carry values of 70 or higher, he says.
Better known as a component of precast concrete cladding, white portland cement is similar to its gray portland counterpart in all respects except color, which it achieves with reduced amounts of iron and magnesium, the substances that give gray portland cement its color.
Due to weathering and the accumulation of dirt, the reflectances of conventional asphalt and concrete are something of a moving target. Asphalt tends to lighten as its binder, typically petroleum derivatives, oxidizes and its aggregate, typically sand and stone, is exposed as a result of wear. Concrete, on the other hand, tends to darken as a result of foot and vehicular traffic.
Accordingly, SRIs for concrete can fall to 25 in as few as five years, while SRIs for asphalt can rise to 20 in seven years.
To ensure values don't drop below the prescribed threshold, concrete may require pressure washes on a periodic basis, according to Shepherd.
Differences between the asphalt and concrete extend to cost (see chart). According to the Federal Highway Administration, owners can expect to pay a 10% to 15% premium for permeable asphalt and a 25% premium for permeable concrete.
Costs for conventional varieties skew along similar lines, with concrete priced two to three times higher than asphalt on an installed, square-foot basis. However, conventional concrete typically enjoys a longer service life, roughly twice that of conventional asphalt.
As ever, there are wild cards to consider, including climate, season, site accessibility, underlying soils, project size, and projected traffic, all of which drive the bottom line.
Like other facets of cool pavements, little is set in stone.

Barbie has always played a role here at Nicole Miller. Back in 1994, Nicole designed Barbie her "Savvy Shopper" look for Bloomingdale's. Her coat has the classic Barbie print and underneath she is wearing a black velvet dress. Barbie then, in 1996, got another Nicole Miller makeover…literally. Aside from actually looking like Nicole herself, Barbie had a coat lined with the classic white Barbie print and was named the "City Shopper" for Macy's.
"Growing up, I never had a Barbie since my mother, being French, only bought me dolls from France, despite my begging for a Barbie," said Nicole Miller. "Years later, I was given the opportunity to design two Barbies which mean a lot to me since I had never gotten to own one as a child. To me, Barbie is a true American icon."
