Press release from Business Wire
3M Aerospace to Showcase New Products and Leadership in Fire Safety at SAMPE

 Industry leader expands flame resistant product line

Thursday, May 17, 2012
3M Aerospace to Showcase New Products and Leadership in Fire Safety at SAMPE11:00 EDT Thursday, May 17, 2012 ST. PAUL, Minn. (Business Wire) -- 3M Aerospace will introduce exciting new offerings to attendees of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) 2012 Conference, to be held May 21-24 in Baltimore, Md. The company's leadership in flame resistance (FR) will take center stage, as a 3M scientist leads a session on Fire Safety and several new products are introduced. 3M Aerospace engineer Patrick Zimmerman, Ph.D., will co-chair the Fire Safety component of the Technical Program on Tuesday, May 22. 3M has been active in the development of the FAA's new policy statement for 14CFR 25.853, through Dr. Zimmerman's participation in the FAA Fire Testing Standardization Working Group. 3M Aerospace will also introduce a number of new products at the conference which meet stringent FR requirements for interior applications, including 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Void Filling Compound EC-3505 B/A FR and 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Low Density Bonding Compound EC-3545 B/A FR.These products are designed to help aircraft manufacturers eliminate steps, reducing touch time and cycle time. With a combination of extrudability/pumpability and non-sag performance, these products simplify preparation and cleanup, and enable a variety of speedy methods of application. Also at SAMPE, 3M Aerospace will debut 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tape 8734NA for Co-Curable Protection, designed to provide a durable barrier against impact and erosion damage on composite aircraft parts. 3M 8734NA Tape offers protection for composite parts in high-temp areas, such as engine composite fan blades and heated leading edges where traditional surface protection products are not sufficient. With this solution, aircraft owners can reduce maintenance costs, increase up-time and enable safer aircraft. Polyurethane Protective Tape 8734NA is co-cured into composite structures representing the next generation of performance and convenience for maintaining the integrity of aircraft composite parts. In addition, a seamless repair paste is available to offer users faster, simpler and more cost effective repairs. 3M Advanced Composites will feature 3M™ Fortified Tooling Prepreg, designed to improve tool cycle life with improved surface hardness for scratch reduction, improved interlaminar shear strength for delamination resistance and improved crack resistance. Tools made with 3M™ Fortifed Tooling Prepreg also have low shrinkage and z-axis CTE allowing for near net molding and decreased spring-back.

By Maj. Bruce Hodges As part of recent government initiatives, the United States is continuing its "Pivot to the Pacific," expanding and intensifying its role in that region. In line with that focus, the U.S. Army is increasing its presence across the theater and has increased the size and scope of bilateral exercises with many of its regional partners. Because many Asian allies are peninsular or island nations, U.S. and allied planners across the Pacific are deploying Army watercraft for use during exercises, humanitarian relief missions and for potential contingency missions.

Comments about Sally Hansen Insta-Gel Strips Starter Kit, Shell We Dance, 1 ea:
So dissatisfied with this product (like I am with most Sally Hansen products, sadly) that I can only list the cons:-> stickers are not wide enough-> the color on the box differs from the color of the stickers. On the box it shows a beautiful light pink nails, in real word the stickers are ugly, pale color, ugh...-> started coming off already on the first day. Eventually it lasted only 2 days (!!!) - I had do take if off on day 2 because it started to look really shabby. I think now I am really done with Sally Hansen products.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hard to handle

By Bargain hunter
from North Carolina
describe yourself Classic Style
I was so excited to try this since I've been wanting to try a gel manicure but didn't want the high price or the damage to my nails. I also really like Sally Hansen's nail polish strips. This works in basically the same way except it comes with a bottle of clear polish that you cure under a UV light. The color of the polish is so light that it was basically transparent. It looked OK but I noticed chipping within two days. By the third day I noticed that the strips appeared to be detaching from my nails in spots. By the fourth day, I got a hair stuck under one of the strips that ended up taking half of it with it. By that point I'd had enough. To remove the strips you've got to soak you nails with a cotton ball soaked in remover for at least 5 minutes and even then, good luck getting the stuff off. Doing that dried out my nails badly. Honestly the regular strips with a clear top coat worked MUCH better than this. For this kind of money, this was a total fail for me. Very disappointed.
Not happy!
By DK
from D.C.
I am so disapointed, the first kit, the light broke and with the replacement, (Customer service replaced the whole kit free of charge right away) the same problem.I am not a clummsie person and quiet handy, but the strips are very hard to apply and if you are lucky and the light works, they do not last and look "home-made".Sorry not worth the money!

This is by far the worst nail product I have ever bought. Does not stay on at all. Do not waste your money!
worked well for me
By sarah
from saint paul, mn
describe yourself Brand Buyer
I used the strips yesterday. The process took about an hour and you have to be very particular with all the steps. It really isn't complicated, just takes time and attention to detail. with the gel strip on, the wooden tool tended to chip off bits of color strip, so be very careful with that. I used it minimally. None of the strip can touch your skin. I used the sheer color. Once done, it looks great and no chips for me so far.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Doesn't work.

I wish I could give it zero stars. It peeled within 20 minutes, and I followed the directions to the letter. So disappointed. Don't waste your money.
2 easy steps - 1 color: Cleanse nails & apply gel polish strips. 2 top coat: Apply gel top coat. Cure under mini LED lamp & finish with nail cleansing pad. Done!

I just got a push poll call from Citizens United. They hired Dick Morris to tape the message part of the push poll. He says the usual; "socialized medicine", "higher taxes" blah blah blah. The taped message was way too long, BTW.
Anyway, after the taped message one of his "pollsters" comes on and does a fundraising ask. What do they need the money for? To take Obamacare to the Supreme Court and replicate their victory over campaign finance reform. See, Citizens United v. FEC.
Yep, they are going back to the Roberts Court and Justice Kennedy for some more activist judging. So, I told the nice lady pollster that I would not donate and explained that I was not interested in a bailout for the insurance companies and Pharma. I told her I favored single payer, specifically Medicare for all.
This is where it gets good: The pollster deviated from her script and said that she personally also favored Medicare for all, but doing this was just her job. As I hung up the phone the belly laughing began. Dick Morris's own employees don't even agree with his bullshit.
So, put on your seat belts, it's going to be a wild ride to SCOTUS. Oh, and Elena Kagan should probably get a head start going on that brief.

Product description
Finally! A book about economics that won't put you to sleep. In fact, you won't be able to put this bestseller down. In our challenging economic climate, this perennial favorite of students and general readers is more than a good read, it's a necessary investment-with a blessedly sure rate of return. Demystifying buzzwords, laying bare the truths behind oft-quoted numbers, and answering the questions you were always too embarrassed to ask, the breezy Naked Economics gives readers the tools they need to engage with pleasure and confidence in the deeply relevant, not so dismal science. This revised and updated edition adds commentary on hot topics, including the current economic crisis, globalization, the economics of information, the intersection of economics and politics, and the history-and future-of the Federal Reserve.

Respond to Review of Island Naturals Market
by twovegans
Review: Visiting the Big Island, we needed provisions for a few days while in Captain Cook. We were looking for things that were portable and didn't require preparation. We found just what we wanted in the prepared foods section here. There were a number of vegan salads (mixed green salad, bean salad and beet salad) and wraps that were just what we needed. We even bought food to take on our flight home the next day.

Selena Gomez & Pregnant Kim Kardashian Hug at MTV Movie Awards Before 'Come & Get It' Performance, PHOTOS/VIDEO
Selena Gomez was photographed embracing pregnant Kim Kardashian on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, shortly before the reality star introduced the pop singer to the stage for a performance.
Selena Gomez was photographed embracing Kim Kardashian on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, shortly before the pregnant reality star introduced the pop singer to the stage for a performance.
Kardashian showed off her 6-month baby bump in a black Saint Laurent Paris ensemble that had sheer long sleeves. Her short dress stopped right above the knee, and she paired it with black pointy toe pumps and a long gold necklace. Gomez also wore a short dress that had long sleeves - she sported a gold Julien Macdonald beaded dress that she paired with matching peep-toe pumps.
See a photo of the two stars hugging here.
At the awards show, held at the Sony Pictures Studios in California, Kardashian presented Gomez to the stage for a performance of the singer's new single Come & Get It. The track is off of Gomez's yet-untitled, upcoming album, which is expected to be released this summer.
"You got the kind of love that I want, let me get that/ And baby once I get it, I'm yours; no take-backs/ I'm gon' love you for life, I ain't leaving your side," she sings. "Even if you knock it, ain't no way to stop it / Forever you're mine, baby, I'm addicted; no lie."
Gomez performed the same track at the Dancing with the Stars live results show on Tuesday, which airs on ABC. The 20-year-old also announced her first solo world tour this week. Stars Dance World Tour will kick off in North American on Oct. 10 and will run through Nov. 20. Tickets go on sale April 20 with The Scene pre-sales starting on April 17.
Watch the video below to see Gomez's Bollywood-inspired performance of Come & Get It at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.

This classy restaurant, a favorite with Bangkok residents, consists of several intimate dining rooms in what was once a private home. Don't pass up the naem neuang, a garlicky grilled meatball you garnish with bits of garlic, ginger, hot chili, star apple, and mango before wrapping it in a lettuce leaf and popping it in your mouth. Seafood dishes—which are among the pricier options—include cha ca thang long, Hanoi-style fried fish with dill.

I'm so amazed at the review by the person from Cape Town that I feel I have to respond. Since June 2002 I have dined here about 15-16 times on 14 separate trips. I've been here for early and late lunches and dinners, for no special occasion and for New Year's. I've come in a hurry, and I've visited when I had time to order a few drinks in the restaurant lounge, Le Lotus Bleu (presumably named after George Prosper "Herge" Remi's 1934 Les Aventures
de Tintin: Le Lotus Bleu), which BTW is an excellent respite from the craziness of Soi 23 further south. The staff, from the male maître d', to his female assistant in the evenings, the waiters and waitresses, and the boy who fetches the drinks, are all excellent; I'm particularly fond of the demure lady in her mid-forties who serves lunch. The food is quite good, reminiscent of the many French colonial Vietnamese restaurants that still dotted Saigon during the American occupation. Vietnam Vets will know what I mean and should saunter on up to the gent's on the second floor to examine the etchings...

Went to Le Dalat for lunch. A shabby place and sour faces of the staff. No comparison with all the friendly Thai places. Staff dress definitely shabby. Ordered a bottle of wine and appetizers. The wine we got. After half an hour some sort of bouncer asked us if we had been served? Well what were the others doing? Anyhow our order was never passed to the kitchen. We aid for the wine and left convinced that there are better Vietnamese places in Bangkok
No Thanks

Brooklyn Beckham Supports Chloë Grace Moretz By Attending Her If I Stay Movie Premiere
Brooklyn Beckham Supports Chloë Grace Moretz By Attending Her If I Stay Movie Premiere
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
All eyes were on Chloe Grace Moretz at Wednesday's If I Stay premiere. The film's leading lady arrived at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre wearing a strapless Schiaparelli Spring 2014 Couture dress and Van Cleef & Arpels jewels. Chloë's rumored boyfriend, Brooklyn Beckham, showed up to share that experience with her. Though they didn't pose for pictures together on the red carpet, a source tells E! News that David Beckham and Victoria Beckham's 15-year-old son "missed Chloë so much when he was at sleep-away camp." In fact, the California-based teen "cut his stay short and came home early" to spend more time with the actress.
Medical personnel from Camp Lejeune said Monday that a Marine was bitten by a shark off the North Carolina coast last weekend, the eighth such attack in the past three weeks. Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital spokesman Raymond Applewhite told WITN-TV in Washington that the 32-year-old Marine was bitten offshore at Surf City on July 4. Base spokesman Nat Fahy said Monday that the Marine suffered lacerations to his right hand and forearm. Fahy said the patient was taken to the Camp Lejeune hospital by a friend late Saturday night. He was released early Sunday. Prior to the latest attack, North Carolina had already set a record for the most shark bites off the state's coast in the 80 years in which records have been kept.
The question of whether he should stay or go was ultimately answered for Damon Albarn . The British singer blurred the line between rock-and-roll rebellion and malfeasance early Sunday morning at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, where he performed a five-hour set that ended only when security carried him off the stage when he otherwise refused to go. After a marathon set that included covers of the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and Randy Newman's "Baltimore," security approached Albarn in an effort to get him to pack it in. According to E! News, the 47-year-old artist instead tried to get the crowd all riled up with a liberal use of F-bombs. Albarn fully intended to give the audience more, but the guys in charge had a different idea. Albarn got scooped up and toted off stage.
Russell Wilson and Ciara have been dating for a few months now, so you would probably assume that the two of them have taken their relationship to a physical level. After all, Wilson is a very religious man, but he's not Tim Tebow, right? As it turns out, though, he is kind of Tebow-esque when it comes to the issue of sex. Wilson was married before, so he's probably not a virgin but he's also not a guy who likes to rush into things. So during a Q&A session at The Rock Church in San Diego, Calif. yesterday, he revealed that he hasn't had sex with Ci-Ci yet because he feels as though God has a bigger plan for them
A convicted felon who had been deported from the United States to Mexico five times was charged on Monday with murder in the shooting of a woman last week at a tourist area in San Francisco. Francisco Sanchez, 45, was arrested for the shooting of Kathryn Steinle, 32, last Wednesday evening. The case drew national attention after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during the weekend used the killing to decry U.S.-Mexico border security. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee defended his city's so-called sanctuary policy as one that protects immigrant communities and that should not shield criminals. Dozens of such sanctuary cities across the United States limit the assistance they provide to federal immigration authorities aiming to apprehend or deport individuals.
The killing of a woman at a sightseeing pier has brought criticism down on this liberal city because Francisco Sanchez, the Mexican man under arrest was in the U.S. illegally, had been deported five times and was out on the streets after San Francisco officials disregarded a request from immigration authorities to keep him locked up. San Francisco is one of dozens of cities and counties across the country that do not fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The city goes so far as to promote itself as a "sanctuary" for people in the country illegally. The case has prompted a flurry of criticism from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, politicians and commenters on social media, all of whom portrayed the slaying as a preventable tragedy.

As I mentioned earlier, the primary advantage of not defining Starfleet -- or, if you must, defining it as a non-military organization -- is because it makes those kinds of stories easier to tell. The writer doesn't have to actually know anything about standard military procedures or the reasons behind them, and even if he does, wouldn't have to consult an expert on anything he doesn't. When the question comes up "How would Stafleet Command react to this?" you don't have to respect the real-world parameters of military discipline any more than you want to; you can discard what is inconvenient and invent what seems more interesting.
Well,I think the fact that we're in space in the 23rd century gives writers a certain amount of wiggle room. Nobody expects Starfleet to have
the same protocols or regulations as, say, the U.S. Navy. It's not like you're writing a Tom Clancy book or something. Plus, of course, you've got nearly fifty years of movies and scripts to emulate if you want to get the tone and the jargon right . . . .

Education Centres-Executive Training
Classes take place at specially-designed NIIT Imperia Education Centres. Classrooms are configured to optimally utilize Synchronous Learning technology for a "live" student experience. While direct one-to-one interaction is ensured through individual ICT-systems for each student (high-performance desktops, webcam, audio system and microphone at each workstation connected directly to faculty at institutes), classroom interactions & ambience are facilitated by clusters of student-stations, and camera & projection systems that span the full classroom.
In addition to these specially-designed classrooms, Education Centres provide Lecture Rooms for presentations, Breakout Rooms for case-discussions and collaborative assignments, library & reading room equipped with Internet kiosks, and – of course – a hangout area where refreshments are available. Access to most centre-facilities is controlled through the Intelligent ID Card (Smartcard-based), that students receive.
NIIT Imperia Education Centers are located in Delhi, Mumbai,Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bhubaneswar, Nagpur,Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Patna, Bhopal, Nasik,Mysore, Lucknow and Pune.
Students attend classes conducted by institute-faculty and delivered using the Synchronous Learning platform. The teaching-learning methodology emphasises peer-to-peer collaboration among students – projects and case-discussions among students within a centre or across centres are the typical instruments of collaboration. Individual assignments and presentations are part of the methodology.
Campus Visits
Almost every Executive Management Program includes one or more Campus Visits to the institute offering the program. Such visits enhance interactions between NIIT Imperia students, faculty and other students at the Institute. Teaching faculty from institutes also make periodic visits to education centres for intensive discussions and clarifications.
Study Material and Library Usage
All text-books and study material are supplied by NIIT Imperia or the Institute. The student is also expected to refer to additional reference material and the Internet. NIIT Imperia has tie-ups with physical and digital libraries at each location.
Learning Management System
The teaching-learning methodology is comprehensively supported by NIIT's Learning Management System (LMS). This online web-based system includes supplementary e-learning, program-specific notices, online submission of assignments, reminder services, online testing and student records. Attendance is auto-recorded through biometric fingerprint-based systems in each classroom.
Assessments and Examinations
Typically, every Executive Management Program has formal examinations associated with it, whose scores are a part of the student's transcript. For the 1-year programs, these are usually at mid-term and program-end. These tests are conducted online through the LMS, or occasionally at physical locations. Performance in assignments, case-studies, projects, presentations and classroom-participation are other instruments of evaluation. All programs include classroom quizzes conducted by the faculty over the Synchronous Learning platform.

"I like how we can design and upload any pictures we want so that our guests can cherish the memories and thank yous. The card came out the way I expected."
"Absolutely love this thank you! It's the perfect size and the quality is everything I expected! They are simply perfect! I wanted a standard thank you note size so I don't have to write too much in each card and just simply thank everyone. I love the 3 pictures I personalized the thank you with of my hubby and me. Especially if you have guests who couldn't make your wedding and would like to see what you both looked like on your wedding day :) I just received these thank you notes and I am so excited to send them out! I highly recommend these thank you notes! Shipping was so much quicker than I was quoted too! The paper quality was nice and the pictures printed clear not super grainy or anything. I had a slight issue folding the cards since they ship flat but that may just be me. The fold in the card forces the card to not line up perfectly. The card is still beautiful and everything I wanted! Happy girl!"
"These cards are beautiful, and the quality is excellent. The pictures we chose printed beautifully. They helped capture our fun wedding, and helped give our guests a true understanding of our thankfulness! The Wedding Paper Diva Team helped create just what we wanted. Their response was quick, and we had our cards within a week. Thanks!"
"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"

Why have pranks always been such a big part of morning radio? Because people like them. Research and ratings both show it, undeniably. When people hear a prank being played on the radio they rarely tune out, assuming it's a good one.
What makes prank humor not very clever, and not funny, is that one of the easiest things in the world is to take advantage of another person's trust.
What started out as a silly prank by radio hosts to try and call the Duchess of Cambridge's hospital room has unexpectedly become a moment of truth for a media that cares only about ratings and rides roughshod over feelings.
If the announcement of the royal baby has ignited this much of a frenzy, one can only imagine what the birth itself will be like. We may not yet know the due date, but whenever their first child arrives, the event will make royal history.
Yet even as the world remains stunned by the lethal prank and a family grieves the loss of a beloved member, we're now being told by Australian media that the shock jocks involved are in a "fragile state" and in intensive therapy. Do we care about them at this point?
What were those two DJs thinking? Answer: Only themselves. My heart sank when I read the news that the nurse tragically died after being a victim of...
The awful news of Jacintha Saldanha's apparent suicide is tragic. However, to inflate the incident unrealistically, as if a harmless prank from two Australian radio disc jockeys was a causal effect and in so doing possibly ruin their careers, is an example of how the media blows things out of proportion.
The death of the nurse Jacintha Saldanha is very sad. Having said that, there appears to be some rushing to judgment going on. The hospital is blasting the radio station, but it is the hospital that bears ultimate responsibility -- not a couple of brash entertainers.
Do I condone the behavior of those DJs? No. But isn't it what many radio hosts do for a living? Let's not condemn them as criminals.
In this edition of Weeklings!, I argue on behalf of Kate Middleton's relevance, pointing out why the lovely lady is a worthy member of pop culture. Stick around for the end, when I offer a bunch of perfect names for her kids.
My dear Princess: Congratulations on your wonderful news! Here is some pregnancy advice from me, currently pregnant with twins -- and this is advice you can trust -- because not only am I pregnant and already a mother of three, but I am grandmother to an adorable three year old, as well.
When women become pregnant in America, they face a strong possibility that their employers will fire them rather than permit more frequent bathroom breaks, place them on light duty, change their shifts, or allow them to work in departments that are "always looking for help."
Since the announcement that Prince William and Kate Middleton are expecting their first child, there has been much speculation on the sex and potential names of the baby. Lets see if some research can help us make some educated guesses.
The English are truly great at bringing up resilient, well-mannered, brave, and kind children. Too many parents -- in our own country and across the Western world -- have lost sight of what we've always done right.

Hehe, my copy is a December 1976 first edition. Lucas is listed as the writer with no mention of ADF and it has the original McQuarrie preproduction art on the cover.
Has there ever been an edition of the ANH novelization that acknowledges that ADF ghosted Lucas?
It is, of course, common knowledge (and there's even a paragraph or so about it on ADF's web site, the gist of which is that he never had a problem with the situation), but I wouldn't expect the writer's credit to change.
(And anybody who grew up on any of the Stratemeyer juvenile novel series [The Bobbsey Twins, in my case] is familiar with anonymously ghosted books, whether they realize it or not: neither "Franklin W. Dixon," nor "Carolyn Keene," nor "Laura Lee Hope" were
real people, nor even pseudonyms for any one writer, once any given series got past the first 2-3 volumes. Edward Stratemeyer was the man who invented "book packaging.")

Nun Day at Fenway Park. Circa 1967.
Love the shades.
Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox---properly pronounced Fenway Paahk and Bahstin Red Saks or Bawstin Red Sawks, depending on whether you're from Southie or Eastie---celebrates its 100th birthday today.
Photo above courtesy of the Boston Red Sox by way of the Boston Globe which has included it in a slideshow of pictures of iconic moments from the past century. Oddly, no pictures of Bucky F. Dent or Bill Buckner. Also, oddly, I'm not in any of them.
I was there often enough. Almost any given shot of Dewey Evans firing one in to second from deep right field or Bob Stanley warming up for another late-inning shellacking in the Sox bullpen could have caught me in the crowd in the right field bleachers.
For four happy summers (and the tail end of a fifth), Fenway was part of my neighborhood. Boston proper is so small and compact that you can make pretty much the whole town your neighborhood. But one year I had an apartment that was three blocks from the park and another year I actually worked inside it. I didn't sell hot dogs or beer. You had to know someone to get one of those gigs. I had a job as a stockboy for an office supply company that operated out of one of the several storefronts built into the park's red brick facade. It was a dusty, Dickensian little place owned and staffed and patronized by characters out of novels by George V. Higgins. I spent most of my day loading and unloading delivery trucks but that was fine because the loading dock was on the far side of the park from the store and I had to push my hand trucks along ramps that ran underneath the grandstand with branches that led up to the field. If there was no game that afternoon those side ramps would be left open and that routinely meant, if the Sox were in town and playing at night, I could stop along the way and stroll up to the entrance ways to watch the team take batting practice. Boston had just acquired Tony Armas from Oakland. Armas was supposed to give the Sox some needed power to protect Jim Rice and Dwight Evans but he had a reputation for hitting a lot of pop flies and one afternoon early that season I watched him drive pitch after pitch into the top of the batting cage.
Boston went 78 and 84 that year and finished sixth in the East. Armas hit .218 but he had 36 homers and drove in 107 runs. I wasn't too happy because Boston had traded Carney Lansford, my favorite player after Evans, to get Armas. But the Sox had this new kid at third they were pretty high on. Had a funny name, Tom Selleck mustache, ate a lot of fried chicken.
Dade Frogs? Cade Logs?
At any rate, in those faraway days, you could walk up to the ticket window on Landsdowne Street a few hours before game time and buy bleacher seats without thinking about it, the game was not going to be sold out. I forget how much tickets cost but it couldn't have been more than a few bucks. And I always had a hot dog and a soda. Sorry. A tonic. Pronounced tawnic or tahnic, again depending on whether you're from Eastie or Southie. Back then I could make it through a weekend on ten or fifteen dollars, have had a good time, eaten and drank well, and still have some change in my pockets come Monday morning. Of course it helped that I had another job as a movie usher and one of the perks of that job was free tickets at every theater in town, which made a lot my dates cheap dates, though I didn't tell the girls that. On Saturday mornings---the Sox still played most of the Saturday games at home in the afternoons---I'd go to the park early and pick up tickets for myself and any friends who were going to meet me later and then wander over to a nearby diner that had a baseball themed name, the Batter's Box, I think, and have breakfast. Life wasn't so hard for a poor student then.
Still, I probably didn't get to more than ten games a season and the Sox were relentlessly mediocre. Yaz wasn't even in the twilight of his career anymore. The moon was rising. Jim Rice was entering that phase of his career that explains why it took the sportswriters so long to give him his plaque in Cooperstown. He was still hitting, but the ball wasn't coming off his bat as hard or as fast or traveling as far as it used to, and he didn't seem to be playing with any intensity only with irritability. Dennis Eckersley, the pre-Hall of Fame reliever Eckersley, and Mike Torrez were Boston's best pitchers. Oil Can Boyd was fun to watch but he'd have been a lot more fun if he'd, you know, won some games. Roger Clemens was still in college. And it was just beginning to sink in that the team had something special in that kid at third, what was his name? Frayed Toggs?
So I don't have many good baseball stories from my Fenway days. I did see Yaz's 2,994th, 2,995th, and 2,998th hits while hoping to be there to see his 3,000th. He hit that one on a night I had to work at the movie theater. I saw Rice hit a lot of home runs and I didn't care that they weren't as hard hit or carrying as far as they "should" have. In a game against the Blue Jays he tied it up with a homer to deep right and then won it with another homer that I swear landed in the exact same spot in the bull pen as the first one. And I was there when what's his name---Trade Clogs?---played his first game at Fenway. He hit a home run, giving fans a very wrong impression of the kind of great hitter he was going to be.
I do have one great story about Fenway, though, but it isn't mine. It's my friend and fellow Red Sox fan Steve Kuusisto's, who, as many of you know, is blind.
Ok. One summer, Steve's in Boston on business but he has time to take in a game. He's there early and his guide dog Corky's getting a little restless, so the security guards give him the ok to take her on a little walk around the warning track. As you know they still have a hand-operated wooden scoreboard out in the left centerfield fence. Steve and Corky are walking along and they find the door to the scoreboard open. They poke their heads in.
"Hi," Steve says to the two operators inside. "I'm the umpire for tonight's game."
