Recieved Arsene Lupin, Oilette Bengale, Eau de Magnolia, Christopher Street, Neroli Extrait and Ohira in perfect condition. Thanks again Rich!
Good day everyone,
After 3 years and over 3500 successful splits, a new business venture is taking up so much of my time, regrettably does not offer any real free time to continue being an active splitter on Basenotes.
I would like to thank everyone who has participated over the years and I am sure other splitters will pick up where I am leaving off. I have made many friends over the three years of doing splits, making this decision even harder, but if I cannot devote the time necessary, it is not fair to myself and the members wanting to participate.
If at some point in the future, I find the time to start doing splits again, hoping I will be welcomed back by the community.
In the meanwhile, any splits still open have been canceled, and hope that everyone understands.
The two splits for New York Intense and Khol de Bahrein will be filled. New York Intense has been ordered and is on the way to me. Awaiting one last payment for Khol de Bahrein to arrive, so I can finish this one up as well.
Again, many thanks to the Basenotes community for the wonderful support I have received the past three years.

2012 BEST Day Spa, Cape Cod
Chatham Bars Inn
Massages and facials are delightful—until they cut into your precious sun time, that is. Thankfully, the Spa at the Chatham Bars Inn offers the best of both worlds. The facility's outdoor plunge pool, surrounded by lush gardens, is a tranquil way to take in the beauty of the Cape after an aah-inducing rubdown. Al fresco treatments in private cabanas, meanwhile, maximize the therapeutic benefits of the great outdoors.

Browns Have Already Interviewed O'Brien
Bye bye, BOB. Alas, we hardly knew thee.
If the pen is truly mightier than the sword, I may be the most dangerous man I know...
PSU making push to keep BOB
I don't think he has the intention to leave. Interviewing will give him a bump in salary at PSU and plus he'll look like more of a hero to the PSU faithful when he announces that he's staying
I think that's it. He's a smart guy, when you have multiple teams looking at you, you need to at least entertain them if you ever plan on getting a job in the NFL later. But this way he can come back and be the good guy, and talk to his players and say, "I could have left, but I chose to stay, what about you?"
Looks like he's staying put...
Source confirms Bill O'Brien is staying at Penn St. That was fast. Had interviewed with Browns this week
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 4, 2013
He has a facebook page:
"Right now, Michigan is not at the pinnacle of college football, and that's all Urban Meyer cares about...He's been there and knows what it takes to get there."

All SXSW V2Venture for 2015 applications must fall within one of the following categories.
Enterprise and Smart Data Technologies
The Enterprise and Smart Data Technologies category encompasses applications and technologies that facilitate comprehension and application of information. These startups seek to improve productivity and management of data, analytics, text, documents, and engagement for business and individual use.
Entertainment and Content Technologies
The Entertainment and Content Technologies category highlights applications and technologies for gaming, music, film, television, video, news and publishing, streaming and digital storytelling, as well as new and hybrid forms of entertainment. These are reinventing the ways in which we learn, relax and enjoy our time. This category also contains technologies that focus on other cultural sectors such as sports, travel, mapping, publishing and food as they pertain to entertainment.
Health and Wearable Technologies
The Health and Wearable Technologies category focuses on patient-centric health applications and technologies that connect patients, families, physicians, pharmacists, care providers (hospitals, clinics) and benefit providers to share timely, relevant health data and drive better outcomes at affordable and sustainable cost levels.
Social Technologies
The Social Technologies category includes applications and technologies that enable personal connections. With this category we're looking for new and interesting uses, cases, products and services, as well as messaging that push the boundaries of how we find, follow and share our lives with others. If your business or service has a social component but is primarily focused on Entertainment, Health or Wearable Technologies, then you should enter one of these other categories instead.
Innovative World Technologies
Any creative and innovative technology that does not fit in another category is encouraged to apply here. We are currently seeing lots of innovation in the Internet of Things, payments and virtual currencies, data security and privacy, transportation such as autonomous vehicles, energy, space, robotics, and artificial intelligence, If your business / service / application applies to one of these fields (or something not on this list that is even more ground-breaking), then this is your category.
Eligibility Requirements
A company's product / service must have launched no earlier than July 22, 2014
A company's product / service must not be launched after October 22, 2015.
Companies will be allowed to submit only one product or service to the SXSW V2Venture.
Companies who submit more than one product or service will not be eligible to participate in the SXSW V2Venture.
Founders of the applying startup must retain some portion of ownership in the company to be eligible to participate.
Must not have raised over five million in funds from combined funding sources.
Product or service must fall within one of the SXSW V2Venture categories.
Companies cannot have presented in any of the following events: SXSW Accelerator, SXSW ECO Startup Showcase or LAUNCHedu pitch events.
NOTE: If you have entered SXSW Interactive Accelerator, SXSWedu's LAUNCHedu and SXSW Eco's Startup Showcase, but have not been been chosen to compete, you are still eligible to enter SXSW V2Venture.
We are no longer accepting applications.

Alaska is on the bucket list of just about every serious fisherman. Having the opportunity to fly fish in some of the nation's most pristine waters, and fighting a prize-winning rainbow trout are the things that most fishermen would rank at the top of their list. The trick though is to find a quality lodge that has a reputation for satisfying their clients year after year.
As one of the top contributors to TripAdvisor, I also depend on them to find places I want to go. With 42 of 42 people giving No-See-Um Lodge an "Excellent" rating, I think it's safe to say this is a place where you're going to enjoy yourself.
No-See-Um Lodge
Intentionally not the biggest lodge in Alaska, second-generation owner John Holman likes to keep his groups to twelve or less each week so that everyone can get the best personalized attention possible. Lodge accommodations consist of six bedrooms each with two beds and a private bath. Satellite TV and Internet access are available to keep you connected….and to let you send selfies with your prize catch each day.
When you aren't fishing, you'll probably be hanging out in the lodge, where gourmet fare is expertly prepared by the lodge's chef. Fresh bakery goods are complimented by a selection of both red and white wines served daily. Special dietary needs are happily accommodated with advance notice.
But tell me about the fishing!
Novices, so-so fisherman, and experienced anglers will all enjoy the opportunities here at No-See-Um Lodge. That's because on average, a guide goes out with every two fishermen to make sure they have the best experience possible.
So what can we catch? Well, if it's big and it puts up a fight, it could be in these waters. Actually, you can expect to find all the following, depending on the time of year you arrive:
If those won't satisfy your quest for fishing adventure, I don't know what would. But, you can't wait forever. With limited availability and with their reputation for top-notch experiences, their calendar can easily fill quickly with returning guests.
So what's included?
Round trip from Anchorage is included along with fly-out fishing each day – weather permitting. Local fishing is always available no matter what the weather.
All flies and other terminal tackle are included. Rods and reels are available for loan if needed.
Lodging and gourmet meals are all included.
Not included – fishing license (available on line.)

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
His first New York City solo show features eight large-format photographs of the troupe's members, their animals, and a six-year-old girl named Mummy who travels with them. Although they're treated as pets and companions, the animals are also used to draw crowds of curious onlookers to whom the "hyena men" sell amulets, fetish items, and traditional medicines. These transactions aren't documented in the photographs, which are straightforward yet deeply provocative portraits of the men and their animals. In Dayaba Usman with the monkey Clear, Nigeria (2005), a seated baboon, dressed in a child's matching shirt and pants, delicately drapes its arm across Usman's thigh. Mallam Galadima Ahamadu With Jamis, Nigeria (2005) shows a man and his hyena in the middle of a dusty street. Though the hyena is muzzled and chained, for a moment the two figures equally command the camera's respect even as it captures a troubling set of potential exploitations, whether of the animals by their captors or the subjects by the photographer.
Accompanying the selection from Hugo's "The Hyena Men" are three from his series "Wild Honey Collectors." Reminiscent of Zwelethu Mthethwa's powerful portraits of sugarcane workers, Hugo's photographs of honey gatherers in the forests of Ghana feature their improvised bee protection: cassava leaves ringing the neck and face, a torn purple raincoat, a plastic bag with holes for the eyes and mouth. Neither they nor the hyena men are shown at work, perhaps indicating another form of laborone that goes into maintaining basic human dignity in the face of harsh material circumstances.

will never come back here to fight again. Just let it go Tony,'
But Tony complained to the commissioner, that it was getting out of hand, and Joe
Frazier was really getting ****ed about Mr. Ali's constant 'dirty cuffing' behind the neck.
Edwin B. Dooley responded by telling Tony, 'You can warn him, but under no circumstances
are you allowed to penalize him a single-point, unless I say so.'
Referee - Tony Perez - 'My hands were tied. I was put in a stranglehold. I could have
penalized Muhammad Ali 5-points, or easily Disqualified him if he didn't obey my commands.'
Ali had the boxing powers ( ref's and judges ) on his side. Ali should not have won the 3rd Norton fight, and could have drawn or lost to Shavers. But you're right. I think Futch said he counted something like 73 holds behind the neck in the 2nd Ali vs Frazier fight.

Carl Barat hints at Dirty Pretty Things reunion
'Maybe we can do a gig someday,' says the former Libertine on Facebook.
The former Libertines man took to Facebook yesterday (February 22) to plant the seeds for a potential reunion with his former bandmates Didz Hammond, Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomando.
He wrote:
I'd forgotten there was so much love for the old DPTs (Dirty Pretty Things). Maybe we could do a gig someday.
Unsurprisingly, the Facebook post was met with great excitement from fans who replied with their support for the idea. Charley cook said, "Come on Carl make it happens," while Joanna Roberts wrote: "I couldn't think of a better way to spend my day than watching the DPT. I've been all over the place watching you fine guys."
Last month (January), Barat revealed to NME that he has recruited Johnny Marr and former Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows to play on his second solo album.
Godlike Genius Marr plays on one song demo, singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt plays piano, while Burrows has helped Barat out with some songwriting duties. Also helping with writing are Dan Miller, singer with London newcomers Eyes On Film – with whom Barat has been playing guitar recently – and Benjamin Biolay, the French actor/singer. Barat hopes to have the album out in the second half of 2013 but is yet to decide on a producer for it.

Recent Downtown - Washington DC Reviews
Comfortable home in DC
We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable. The street is quiet and clean and the people in the neighborhood are friendly and diverse. The only downside is that it is not very close to the Metro. During the day we rode the bus from the corner right by the house to get to either our destination or to a Metro stop and that worked great. In the evening we would just use Uber to get around. The reserved parking could fit two cars if they are both small but if you have a larger vehicle you may only be able to fit one, but it's not a very big deal because there is always street parking available out front and we had no problems with that. The beds were comfortable and the upstairs bathroom has a nice skylight.
Comfortable Stay
Property was all and more than we expected. House was equipped with necessary items for essential basic living needs. House was kept neat and clean and the owner assured any questions that we had were answered in a timely manner. Only thing I would say was the house was a little on the cooler side, which can be expected for an older home in the city. Overall comfortable stay, I would definitely stay here again.
A wonderful place to stay
This is a beautiful property, which I cannot recommend highly enough. We were 7 in our party, so were very comfortable spread over the 4 bedrooms. I think it would be crowded with 14 though. The house was clean and tidy and all the furnishings and equipment are of the highest quality. Patrick, the landlord, was very friendly and helpful. Although on one occassion we were warned at the metro that the area was not safe to walk around at night, we felt perfectly safe walking to and from the metro, though we did not do this late at night. It is a short metro ride to the centre of Washington. Highly recommend hiring bikes from Thomson boat and cycle hire as a way of seeing the main sights. Do not bother with the Double Decker bus tours - they do not run frequently or regularly, nor do they keep to their scheduled route and stops. A complete waste of money and a precious days sight-seeing.

No doubt about it, the Rangers have had some serious roster turnover this season, especially among the bottom six forwards. Gone are Brandon Prust, John Mitchell, Ruslan Fedotenko, Artem Anisimov, and Brandon Dubinsky. In are Arron Asham, Taylor Pyatt, Jeff Halpern, and possibly Michael Haley (at least to start the season while Marian Gaborik is out). While the Rangers will surely miss most of the departed, where they will miss them the most is on the penalty kill.
Fedotenko, Prust, and Dubinsky were all top penalty killers for this club last season, with Anisimov and Mitchell seeing some time there as well. Of those coming in, only Halpern has experience as a top penalty killer. Asham and Pyatt have played there in the past, but not much (if at all) last season. This leaves a hole that needs to be filled, and needs to be filled from those already on the roster.
Luckily for the Rangers, they still have Brian Boyle and Ryan Callahan, who are now the two best penalty killers from last season. Add in Halpern, and the Rangers need three or four more players capable of eating time on the kill for the Rangers to have decent units this year.
Carl Hagelin, who was one of the best two-way forwards in the NCAA, is the first player that comes to mind in this situation. Hagelin will likely be able to step right in and eat big minutes while a man down. His versatility here is likely one of the big reasons why his name was never brought up in trade rumors. It is all but a sure thing that Hagelin will step right into Prust's role as a top penalty killer (if Halpern is to "fill in" for Dubinsky and take face offs).
Chris Kreider is also very capable of killing penalties, as he did so with BC last season. Kreider isn't the type of guy that will see significant time on the penalty kill, but if one of the main four guys (Boyle, Callahan, Halpern, Hagelin) takes a penalty, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Kreider out there. Throw in his speed (and Hagelin's), and the Rangers have two forwards competent on the kill who have the potential to create some offense while down a man.
Although Pyatt and Asham did not kill penalties last year, they are fully capable of handling a shift or two in these situations, as they have done so in the past. Throw in players like Brad Richards and Derek Stepan –also capable of playing a few shifts on the kill– and the Rangers aren't in such a bad situation.
That makes nine players capable of at least taking a shift with a man in the box. Four (Boyle, Callahan, Hagelin, Halpern) will be the key components of a completely overhauled unit, while Kreider lies in wait as a fifth forward. With four more players capable of taking a shift, the Rangers are heading into next year with a solid group of forwards capable of filling the hole that Prust, Fedotenko, and Dubinsky left in their wake.
It's not the ideal situation to have Pyatt, Asham, Richards, or Stepan killing penalties, but concessions needed to be made to bring Rick Nash on board. The effectiveness of the unit, specifically the depth of the unit, may not be as strong, but the top four are surely capable of stepping right in without missing a beat. Believe it or not, the Rangers are in decent shape on the penalty kill. It's not last year, but it'll make do.
Update 9:10am: It has been brought up that Nash played on the penalty kill in Columbus, something I did not know. So he's another option, and an option that can provide offense as well.

NCAA: San Sebastian frustrates winless St. Benilde
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines—San Sebastian compounded St. Benilde's woes with an 80-78 triumph Thursday night in the NCAA season 89 men's basketball tournament at the Arena in San Juan.
The Stags snatched the final lead with 31.5 seconds left after six straight markers dealing the Blazers yet another heart-breaking loss this season.
The Blazers have lost their last five games with a combined total of seven points, as they were always decided down the stretch.
"There's a lot of pressure because our opponent hasn't won in four game, and they're determined to get that win against us," said coach Raymond Valenzona, who took over the coaching reins in this game with head coach Topex Robinson is in the United States with Alaska.
San Sebastian also played St. Benilde's tendency to collapse late in the game, holding the winless Blazers scoreless in the last 2:19 of the game.
"We made sure to follow what coach Topex left us. Our defense won the game for us today," also said Valenzona in Filipino.
Jamil Ortouste led the Stags with 23 points, six rebounds and five assists while CJ Perez had 17 points —including a go-ahead triple with 3:43 to play—along with 10 boards.
Jonathan Grey and Paolo Taha scored back-to-back points to give them 78-74 lead, but that was the last the Blazers would score.
St. Benilde had ample chances to stretch their lead after turnovers by San Sebastian, and even got the last shot but Taha misfired on the OT-forging layup.
Taha paced the Blazers with 21 points, Grey added 17 while Roberto Bartolo chipped in 12 and 11 boards.

The 2015/16 Season at the Alliance Theatre
Dear friends,
Want to get richer?
I know, trick question. Who doesn't? But here's the thing. By joining us last season at the Alliance Theatre, you made the work on our stages richer with your presence. We work for weeks, months, years sometimes, to create works of theatre that aren't really complete. That completion only happens when you show up. And the artists on the stage take your questions, your attention, your energy, and they throw it in the pot—and then, voilà—a play is truly made.
So we get how your presence enriches us.
Here's how we think the 2015/16 season might just enrich you:
- In the company of 17 of Atlanta's finest actors, you'll get to wrestle with the soaring emotions of the contemporary American classic, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
- You'll get "I saw it first" bragging rights for a world premiere comedy (Tiger Style!), a world premiere musical (Born For This: The BeBe Winans Story), and a world premiere drama (Start Down). And your kids can share in the bragging, as we launch Pearl Cleage's newest work—this one for middle schoolers—Tell Me My Dream.
- You'll get to impress your non Atlanta friends who watch ABC's Scandal when you tell them you saw one of its lead actors shift into the role of director on A Steady Rain.
- You'll be armed for a killer morning-after-the-play water cooler conversation at work when you see the explosive Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Disgraced and simply have to talk about what you're feeling.
- Plus 5 other killer productions—see the complete list.
The fact is, by supporting the arts in Atlanta and showing up—be it here, or any of the amazing theatres our city is lucky to have—you enrich this city every bit as much as you enrich your own heart and mind. Theatre goers are a curious breed. And this city is made richer by compassionate and curious citizens like you. We are grateful to you for enriching our work—and hopeful that you'll let us return the favor with our upcoming season. See a lot, see a little—and see how much richer you feel.
Renew, upgrade, or purchase your season ticket package online by April 3, 2015 to save an additional 10% (valid on Alliance Stage, Hertz Stage, and Impromptu Memberships/Packages only). To learn more about the full season visit us online at alliancetheatre.org/nextseason. If you prefer to speak to a Season Ticket associate please call the Season Ticket office at 404.733.4600, Monday–Friday 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

I have a similar new suit with blue lines in it and wondered if you ever have trouble with shirt colors other than blue or containing blue? If you have some other pictures with different colored shirts I would like to see them. Looks good by the way. Thanks, Randy

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/18/14
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kauffman Stadium is not a place where you typically hear fans boo anyone from the home team. That's partly because of the courteous nature of Kansas Citians, and also because the Royals haven't been significant enough in the minds of fans here for them to care enough to boo. But that has changed recently as the Royals hang on the fringe of the playoff race. Last week, Royals utility infielder Elliot Johnson was booed loudly after letting a routine grounder go through his legs, leading to two unearned runs in a disheartening 5-2 loss to the Marlins. Johnson subsequently was released the next day. On Tuesday night, second baseman Chris Getz got an earful of the hometown fans' wrath as well. First, Getz got doubled up at first after a botched hit-and-run play in the third inning when Jamey Carroll flied out to center. Getz was off with the pitch and rounded second before realizing Carroll's short fly would be easily caught. He was an easy out trying to return to...

common aspects of a light and fluid mover?

I'm sure a decent percentage is innate, but to the trained eye what ingredients would make for a fluid easy mover?

I could live without being quick but the heavy stepping is taking it's toll on my lower body. Plus the last heavy step into my shot makes my recovery or transition to the next shot a little worse. I noticed
people who constantly on their toes
have played soccer
are much easier movers, the other factors I don't know.
Soccer players have to be in constant balance all the time, especially on defense.
They have to be able to zig when their oppennent zigs, and zag when their opponent zags. [Basketball players do the same thing on defense.]
Again, the key is constant balance of their upper body over their legs.
If you look closely, all good soccer players and tennis players have the same posture, with their knees slightly bent, slightly bent at the waist, and their legs apart.
This allows their upper body to seemingly float around without bouncing a lot, even as their legs under them are spinning like mad.
Here is a video explaining the athletic posture, how you should look on the court so you can look like a soccer player and the better tennis players:
Athletic Position
Pat Dougherty is not only the Bolletierri Camp "tennis doctor", but also is a great student of the game of tennis, and not just a "serve doctor".
Watch this video, seemingly made just for you, paying close attention to how to stand, split step, and your first acceleration step:
Are you a Tennis Athlete? 3 tests to find out
[Forget the AP belt; its just a training aid and there is nothing magic about it.]
Ian from essential tennis made this series on the split step for everyone like you who is looking to move better. (And yes, every tennis player moves out of a split step, timing the split step to every time their opponent hits the ball.)
Tennis Footwork Split Step Lesson, 1 of 3: Technique
[Follow the links on the same page as the above video to watch lessons 2 and 3. I assure you Ian would not steal you wrong, and provides some real insights into movement out of the split step.]
If you've watched the above videos, you should now have a better appreciation of how the pros and all the better players move.
Here is just one example of a pro, Tommie Haas, practicing - noticing how his split step and recovery is so engrained he NEVER takes it easy, but is in constant motion split stepping, moving and recovering.
07 26 09 Tommy Haas practice AAA
This is the real key for YOU to move like Tommy Haas. Move like him whenever you practice or play ALL THE TIME.
[It is far better to at first take frequent breaks so you can be intense in your movement training when you continue on during your hitting session.]
(We are all human, and at first this will seem hard and over-tiring. But if you keep at it, you will develop the intense satisfaction that YOU are a great mover. It will feel great to really be in great condition, and have others marvel at your quickness and balance!)

30 things to do before turning 30: What's on your list?
To-do lists, shopping lists, Christmas lists, people-I've-kissed lists—the list goes on. Books to read, places to visit, places I've been. People may accomplish little, or none, of the things on them, but the compulsion to create lists is reflected even on iTunes, where several pages of iPhone apps help people keep lists for just about anything. There's a whole Craigslist, for just about anything we want—or want to get rid of—and I can't think of many e-commerce sites that don't have a wishlist option. In fact, I'll guess that more than half of you reading this have an Amazon wishlist. There are even books on Amazon about lists!

Baptism at the beach
It's 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday. The water's cold enough to make your toes tingle. Not exactly prime time for beach-ing along Lake Michigan's shore. But, as a part of a local church's annual baptism, dozens of young people took a dip to proclaim their Christian faith. Read the rest of this entry »
Catholic march draws crowds but not youth
Last Sunday more than 150 people marched on a detention center in Maywood, a suburb south of Chicago, to protest the treatment of incarcerated immigrants. The gathering reached across racial and linguistic boundaries, with just about every sentence translated into English or Spanish and leaders from African-American and Latino communities stepping up to the mic. The pre-march dialogue – which put all the whites, blacks and Latinos into mixed groups to swap stories – had the feel of a college community-building seminar. Read the rest of this entry »

Taking a dig at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, BJP today said he was enacting "drama" to hog media attention and some sympathy of voters and demanded a probe as to why he is only being targeted again and again.
"If Kejriwal is facing threat to his life and somebody is hatching conspiracy then why he forgives him immediately? Why does he play drama of going to his home and hugging him? And why does he play drama of going to Rajghat?" VK Malhotra, Chairman of Delhi BJP Lok Sabha Election Campaign Committee, told reporters here.
He said after the Lok Sabha elections, it should be probed that who hatched the conspiracy of throwing ink, shoes, slapping Kejriwal in Delhi, Haryana, and BJP has never adopted such stunt since elections in 1952.
Malhotra alleged that the former Delhi Chief Minister was himself hatching conspiracy to get media attention and some sympathy.
"Kejriwal's supporters have now become the supporters of Narendra Modi. At present, Kejriwal is not getting the full attention of media following which he is taking such steps to get the media attention and some sympathy.
"The people are of the view that he himself hatches the conspiracy of shoes being hurled, inked being thrown on him and he being slapped, and then plays drama of going to Rajghat and goes the home of auto driver, meeting him and offering him membership," the senior BJP leader said.
The BJP leader also termed that beating of those persons, who throws ink or slaps Kejriwal by his supporters looks like filmy and part of this conspiracy.
Ahead of the polling day tomorrow, Kejriwal today visited the autorickshaw driver who had slapped him at a roadshow in North-West Delhi yesterday and said he has "forgiven" the attacker.

Elvis Presley's 1961 benefit concert remembered
HONOLULU Fifty years ago, Elvis Presley helped raise money and directed much-needed attention to the stalled efforts to build the USS Arizona Memorial. The King is now being remembered for his contributions as the historic sites at Pearl Harbor enter a new era.
Pacific Historic Parks, in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc., will start selling T-shirts on Friday for $24.95 to commemorate the iconic crooner's historic benefit concert at Pearl Harbor's Bloch Arena on March 25, 1961. Proceeds will support the educational programs at the USS Arizona Memorial and the new $56 million Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
The black T-shirt features an image of the original concert billboard with Presley standing in his gold lame suit and a hangtag replica of the concert ticket. The shirts will be available at the visitor center's bookstore or online at http://www.PacificHistoricParks.org through the end of the year.
"For us, recognizing this benefit concert is a way of making the public aware of the cultural history of the memorial," said Daniel Martinez, Pearl Harbor historian for the National Park Service's World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
Congress in the late 1950s authorized the construction of the memorial to honor the crewmembers entombed when the USS Arizona was sunk during an aerial attack by the Japanese that plunged the United States into World War II. The Pacific War Memorial Commission was tasked with raising $500,000 to build the USS Arizona Memorial.
Ralph Edwards, host of the hit TV series, "This is Your Life," kicked off the public fundraising efforts on his Dec. 3, 1958 show when he featured Arizona crewmember and Medal of Honor recipient Samuel Fuqua. More than $95,000 was raised.
But contributions and attention dwindled over the next couple years, with less than half of the $500,000 raised. Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, read about the stalled efforts in the Los Angeles Examiner.
Presley, who was already scheduled to be in the islands to film "Blue Hawaii," agreed to help by performing a benefit concert. It was his last live stage performance for more than eight years.
"Both of these celebrities, one that kicked it off and one that came to its aid two years later, are important," Martinez said. "I think this is the beginning of the influence of celebrities in national campaigns of fundraising in our country. ... It wasn't just a concert. It was an event that had national attention and media coverage."
On March 25, 1961, the 26-year-old Presley took the stage to an arena packed with 4,000 frenzied, screaming fans who paid anywhere from $3 to $100 a ticket.
Presley performed 15 songs that night, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "All Shook Up," "I Got A Woman," "I Need Your Love Tonight," "Don't Be Cruel," "Are You Lonesome Tonight," and "Swing Down Sweet Chariot." He ended the show with a rousing performance of "Hound Dog," which included a slide across the stage on his knees.
The concert raised about $54,000, and public and private donations poured in following the show, which received heavy publicity across the country. Hawaii's then-freshman Sen. Daniel Inouye, who today is the most senior member of the Senate, helped secure the final $150,000 to complete the construction during the fall.
