I don't know about the rest of you but when I was in grade school (called elementary back then!) we used LePage's glue. It was golden color and was dispensed out of a rubber top with a slit in it. Elmer's didn't come out until later.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I don't know about the rest of you but when I was in grade school (called elementary back then!) we used LePage's glue. It was golden color and was dispensed out of a rubber top with a slit in it. Elmer's didn't come out until later.
I still pin baste my quilts. I do it on my glass topped dining table and I make larger quilts and I have to move them to different sections to get them all pinned. I don't think the glue basting would work very well with my set up.
I do think glue basting would work well for matching intersections when sewing long rows to each other. I could see right away that they are matchine up as they should. I will try it. Thanks for all the helpful hints.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Gals-- I think we're really dating ourselves with our memories! If I'm remembering correctly, the "glue" in the bottle with the rubber thingy on top was called mucilage, wasn't it?
You're right. It was mucilage -- actually gum arabic, not rubber cement. I finally thought to Google it.
I remember that mucilage; it's what we used at home. At school, we had to use messy white paste, in a jar. It usually smelled a bit like wintergreen and always left the pasted item rather lumpy.
By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
~Richard Dawkins
Would it be appropriate to use this method of basting on a Christmas tree skirt that I'm working on an don't really want to wash?
I, too, just finished the binding on a quilt using Elmer's School Glue for the first time. I followed the youtube post The Binding Angel and it was quite helpful. The only suggstion I have is to use a dry iron which I don't think was mentioned in the video... I learned this quickly when the glue didn't set. I ususally do most of my pressing with steam so I didn't give the iron setting any thought until the glue was still sticky when I took my project to my machine.
I use the archival glue sticks especially when putting together my miniature (as well as pp) projects. This glue doesn't cause the threads to breakdown.
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It colors every situation.

Movie Review: 50/50
What's the measure of someone's life? Will Reiser's heartfelt comedy tries to answer that question.
Director: Jonathan Levine Rating: R Studio: Mandate Pictures
In 50/50, formerly titled I'm With Cancer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a sweet, caring, likeable radio writer in his mid-20s who gets slammed with a diagnosis of a rare form of spinal cancer. The character (based on screenwriter Will Reiser's own health crisis) confronts the devastating, Why me? news with humor, anger, stoicism, hope and grace. It's a good thing, too, because, like many people hit by potentially fatal diseases, this fundamentally decent guy must tough out a grim situation with little help from those around him. His well-meaning, brittle girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard), for instance, caves under the pressure, his terrified mother (Anjelica Huston) suffocates him with kindness, his jokey, emotionally limited best friend (Seth Rogen) uses it as a way to score gullible women. It's only through interacting during chemotherapy sessions with others also battling the disease (like the no-nonsense Philip Baker Hall) and through sessions with a struggling, inexperienced young therapist (Anna Kendrick) that Gordon-Levitt's character begins to regain his balance.
There's no way the very touching, funny, honest 50/50 can avoid comparisons with Judd Apatow's Funny People, which, among other similarities, also featured Rogen who, in addition, co-produced with Evan Goldberg his close friend Reiser's 50/50. Those aside, the two movies are not all that much alike. 50/50, directed by Jonathan Levine (The Wackness) is smaller, quirkier, more focused and more rudely funny. There's also a nice ragged, indie movie energy to Gordon-Levitt's scenes with Kendrick, both in and out of the therapist's office, and Gordon-Levitt makes a sympathetic, heartbreaking standup hero, a perfect foil for Rogen who apparently plays a comic version of his off-screen self that is self-centered, relatable and hilarious. What's the measure of someone's life? 50/50 takes a stab at answering that thorny question and still does it with humor and big, heaping spoonfuls of heart.

Event Details
6pm Main doors open all ages
7:00 pm Show
Special Guests include Barrington Levy and Makua Rothman!
While it's a rare commodity for a band totour as consistently as Slightly Stoopid, the group's diligent commitment tolive music provides some insight into why it's been a few years since the releaseof their last studio album. But on August 14, 2012, the Ocean Beach,California-based group—led by co-founders and multi-instrumentalists MilesDoughty and Kyle McDonald—will droptheir latest studio effort, Top ofthe World. As heard throughoutthe disc, the layoff between albums has not affected the group's penchant forcooking up the tasty fusion and massive groove that permeates Stoopid'strademark sound. "We're a touring act, and we've been on the road prettymuch non-stop over the last decade," explains Doughty. "It really cameinto play on the release of the new record. Our last studio record [SlightlyNot Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid] was about three and a half years ago.But with the band, we were starting families, we'd been on the road so much, wereally didn't have time to sit down and focus on actually recording it." Doughtyalso admits that the creation of the band's own recording studio and rehearsalclubhouse, within the warehouse district of Mission Valley (just inland ofOcean Beach), certainly aided the creation of Topof the World. "Inthe past two years, we started our own studio, which really enabled us to makethe record at our own pace, and to make the right record for us at this time inour career," Doughty continues. "What's nice about it is having our own environmentto record in and analyze the music, and it really lets you keep an organicfeel.
For us, I feel like it's a step into thenext level, as far as understanding the process of recording, understanding the process of songwriting.We took everything that we've learned over the years and really put it intothis record." Another key ingredient to what makes Top of the World so special is the inclusion of several musical guests. "It reallykept that 'family atmosphere' for us," says Doughty. "I think it shows in themusic—it flows. It's like one of those records that feels like it's one giantsong. It keeps building and building. For us, we couldn't be happier. Top of the World speaks volumes as to where the band is today; just lyrically andmusically, we're really happy with the direction." "We had G. Love,Angelo Moore from Fishbone, Don Carlos, Barrington Levy, Ian Neville from Dumpstaphunk,Tory Ruffin from Morris Day and the Time and Fishbone, and singer/songwriterAngela Hunte. We've been friends with G. Love for over 15 years, and we've beenable to work together quite a few different times in the studio. It seems likesecond nature. Whenever you're recording with G., it's almost like you'rereally just hanging out with your bro, and you happen to hit record. We've doneso many shows together and so many studio sessions, it becomes second nature.Angelo Moore to me is one of the greatest frontmen to ever step foot on astage. As a fan and out of respect, I try to do something with Angelo everytime we have a record, really. If you listen to his lyrics, his vocal performance—Idon't know who could keep up with Angelo on stage. Don Carlos from Black Uhuruis one of the legendary reggae singers of all time, and we've had the pleasureof working with him the last few years." Riffing on some of the album'shighlights, Doughty says "I really love 'Hiphoppablues,' the song G.Love did. I love the song 'Way You Move,' Ian Neville did a great guitar linethroughout the whole song. We worked with Barrington Levy on 'Ur Love,' he is atrue architect of the dance hall! Definitely 'Ska Diddy' with Angelo—it's a fun rant and shout out to a lot of the nooksand crannies we play across the country." Besides recording at their ownstudio, Slightly Stoopid has always been extremely hands on when it comes totheir career, going back more than a decade to when they founded their own recordlabel, Stoopid Records. "We started Stoopid Records around 2000," Doughtyclarifies. "At that time, we were in transition as far as what we were doingwith our records, and we thought it would be good to have our own independentlabel—like Sublime showed us back in the day with Skunk Records.
What's nice is we've had a following withthe fans, where people understand that Stoopid Records is Slightly Stoopid and otherbands we want to help break out." "Forus, it was a big turning point, as far as having complete creative control overeverything we do. That's something big for this band—we want to make the musicfor ourselves and for our fans. We don't really make music for someone in anoffice that tells us something needs to be there. We've always had a veryorganic, do-it-yourself attitude. I think it's paid off in dividends."
In addition to the arrival of Top of the World, Slightly Stoopid should be very busy for the rest of 2012."This summer, we're doing The Unity Tour with 311. That was really cool— thoseguys approached us about doing a tour with them. For the last five years, we'vebeen headlining all the amphitheater tours, so it's kind of nice that we'regoing to co-headline with them. It's a good chance to not only play for ourfans, but to play for 311 fans and show them the new direction of the newrecord. After the summer tour, we're going to do a fall tour and a winter tour,stay on the road as much as possible, promote the record, and keep making moremusic."
Slightly Stoopid's current line-up,featured on the Unity Tour 2012, consists of Doughty (guitar, bass, vocals) and McDonald (guitar, bass,vocals), along with Ryan "Rymo" Moran (drums), Oguer "OG" Ocon (congas, percussion,harp, vocals), C-Money (trumpet), Dela (saxophone) and Paul Wolstencroft (keyboards).Additionally, "unofficial 8th member" Karl Denson of Greyboy Allstars also lent his talents throughoutTop of the World, and is joining the band on tour this summer.
Nearly two decades into their ongoingmetamorphosis, Slightly Stoopid continues to progress into new musical territory, definingtheir signature sound even further and creating a contagious feel-good vibe. An entiresubculture has grown around the social statements the band makes with their music—and it's beendone entirely on their own terms. No wonder they feel like they're on Top of the World.

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Talk & GM News' started by UpsetProps, May 4, 2012.
Thought this video was pretty nuts, and some here might like to see it.
OMG!!! Even the picture on the video before you start playing it makes me cringe. Why???????:neutral:
I eckon the old saying"Boys and their toys " may come in to play here. Posting on youtube won't help get the insurance claim , though
I have been to Silver Lake sand dunes on holiday weekends. You see morons do crap like this all the time. I have seen guys be paralyzed from jumping a bike off a dune and planting their head in the sand. It sucks when the entire park gets closed down so a helicopter can airlift some reckless guy that hurt himself out. I watched one guy nose plant his 3 day old truck in the sand. It stayed straight up in the air for a good 5 seconds before it rolled onto its roof. I know guys that have wrecked their trucks on the dunes. Insurance will not cover any damage done while out there. Some guys tow their broken trucks a few miles away then call insurance.
According to the video comments and others of the same jump the guy was getting divorced and his wife was gonna get the truck. thought he would "break it in for her". They also claim it only had 600 miles on it at the time.
What an idiot.
Ditto . Dang he should have just sold it.Thats what I did with my 63 split window. No way was she getting my baby.
Hate to see one destroyed, especially red.. But if it was from keeper her from getting it have at it! Should've tried it the other way up too if thats the case. :great:
If not for divorce but for money..what an idiot.
LOL I think its funny he did that considering the circumstances. Ridiculously stupid, but still funny!
Well, that explains it....if there is going to be a compelling reason to do something like this, ex-wives or soon to be ex-wives, can certainly give one to you.

Four years ago, I wrote a spoof on The Morning News about Oscar, as if the statue itself were going online and creating a dating profile. In honor of tonight's Oscars, here's a fun excerpt from the original:
About Me
I'm here to find a great person for a great time. I want to tremble from head to toe. You'll see lots of ads on here saying stuff like "No games!" or "No drama!" Well, color me eccentric then because I love me some good drama (especially the biographical kind). Though many who've had me consider me extremely attractive, I am by no means a mere trophy. If that's the kind of person you're looking for, do us both a favor and move on to the next profile, please.
Physical Info
Height: 13.5″ (34.3 cm)
Weight: 8.5 lbs (3.86 kg), zero body fat
Body type: Buffed
Birthplace: Chicago
Smoke, drink: My lips are sealed
Education: Honors in the arts and sciences
Favorite physical activities: Standing, reflecting
Political orientation: On the mantel
Religion: Idolatry
About You
Above all, you should be gifted. Perhaps you have an original voice or a talent for bringing out the best in others. Perhaps you adapt well, or are a uniquely supportive individual. (Read the rest of the spoof over on The Morning News).

I got this one but nothing since 11-24-2009 WTF
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
Beautiful build. now i want one. the idea of a extra large buffer came to me last night lookign over one of my rifles that the carrier is hanging up on the hammer. how did you make your buffer? also what is the distance from the breech to the gasport? Lastly, how much of the length of the original carrier did you remove ?
Sorry for the absence guys-dad had a stroke, and I have had very little time.
I will try to post some details broken into assembly groups in the next few weeks.
The buffer is made from HDPE and machined to fit- retained by the recoil spring in the standard AK buffer fashion. I would have to pull it apart to get precise measurements on the mods. I will try to post those numbers soon.
That is a nice looking gun Xebec. I have been messing around with a 7.62x25 AK and would be interested to see how you did the feed ramp and mag placement.

Robert Pattinson, who we know is currently working on his newest film Remember Me in NYC this week, was met with a few rabid fans yesterday … and barely escaped with his life! A mob of overzealous fans attempted to get close to him for photos, autographs, etc. and ended up attacking him with their lurve. Here are a few pics of R. Pattz trying to avoid being crushed to death by his lady fans and some deets on what went down:
Amidst the hundreds of screaming fans, it was impossible to even spot the film star. British actor Robert Pattinson was lost in the crowd as he tried to leave his trailer yesterday. The crew of his new film linked arms to protect him after a solitary police officer was overwhelmed as fans young and old mobbed the Twilight star. Luckily, some burly security guards were on hand to escort the 23-year-old Londoner safely through the sea of young women – and men – to his film set. The actor then smiled with relief as he grabbed a cigarette and a coffee and tried to calm down. Former child model Pattinson's first role was as tragic Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series – which also launched the careers of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. He is currently filming Remember Me – but is better known for his role as 108-year-old vampire Edward Cullen in the film Twilight. It has thrust him into the spotlight and with three films left in the series – New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Down – his fame seems unlikely to diminish. Pattinson says he finds his new life 'bizarre' and is still adjusting to his high profile.
Fortunately, from the awkward smile on his face, it looks like Rob is trying to enjoy all of the frenzied attention but I imagine it can be pretty scary to get caught in the scrum of screaming fans. At least when a boy band gets mobbed by fans (a la N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, etc.) there are a few targets for fans to zero in on … poor Rob is all by himself when he goes out so he gets all of the rabid attention. Here's hoping Robbie is able to continue enjoying the attention … cuz it doesn't show any signs that it will be slowing down anytime soon.

National Guard Recruiter Charged With Theft
Charged with fraudulently collecting $28,000 in referral bonuses for recruits.
BRIGHTON, Colo. - An Army National Guard recruiter in Colorado has been charged with fraudulently collecting $28,000 in referral bonuses for recruits.
District Attorney Dave Young said Tuesday 25-year-old Christopher Thomas Clark faces one count of theft.
No phone number could be found for Clark, who is free on $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to return to court on Feb. 18 to be formally advised of the charges.
Details of the alleged theft weren't immediately known.
Maj. Gen. H. Michael Edwards, adjutant general of the Colorado National Guard, says the investigation has the full support of the guard.
He said the alleged theft is unacceptable if true.
The charge is a class 3 felony, which normally carries a sentence of four to eight years in prison.

At 54-years-old Matt Kratoville has no plans or desires to die any time soon, but when he does his burial costs will be covered thanks to a contest he entered through the San Rafael Pacifics baseball team.
Friday was "Funeral Night" at the San Rafael Pacifics game and they gave away a free cremation or casket to one lucky winner courtesy of Mount Tamalpais Mortuary and Cemetery. The catch? To be entered into the contest, people had to write and submit their own obituaries for judging.
Kratoville, of Novato, is a die-hard baseball fan and attends as many San Rafael Pacifics games as he can. After hearing about the promotion, he was intrigued and began drafting his obituary.
"Initially I was going to write 'Here lies Matt, who froze to death at Candlestick Park watching the San Francisco Giants,'" Kratoville said.
But with some input from his sister, Courtney Flavin, the two crafted a poem paying tribute to the San Rafael Pacifics team and his love of baseball.
"There was once a fellow named Matt / A fan from his toes to his hat / To be very specific / His team was Pacifics / He thought anyone else was a rat / He was hit on the head by a foul / He was fanned by a fan with a towel / But he died the next day / And was buried away / With a smile on his face, not a scowl / The day of the playoffs it came / Matt's absence was really a shame / But he rose from the dead / With a flourish, he said, / 'I just couldn't miss the big game!'"
Kratoville's entry not only won him a free burial, valued at $1,700 to $3,000, but he also got to get his picture taken with the grim reaper and San Rafael Pacifics mascot Sir Francis the Drake. He said the game was a blast and loves having a minor league baseball team in Marin County.
Flavin said she couldn't believe their collaborative entry was selected.
"It was a big surprise that it actually won and it has just made his day," she said.
Kratoville doesn't want to cash in any time soon on his winnings, but he does have an idea of how he'd like his remains to be handled.
"I suppose cremation would be the route. That way I wouldn't take up hardly any space at the cemetery," he said.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by BaileyCatts, Oct 6, 2012.
I like April and Jackson too...
Besides having the explosive plot thing, I took it to mean they are going after anyone and everyone who has got deep pockets, and that means backing it all the way down to who told you to get on the plane in the first place. But really I think its just a way to build the explosive plot thing.
Can they actually sue the hospital? I don't think you can. I know in most other countries you couldn't because there would be an issue with causation and remoteness. Unless you can prove that Owen in his capacity as Chief, knew the plane or the charter company was unsafe, you can't sue the hospital.
I don't know US law but I'd be pretty upset if Grey's suddenly switched to being a US legal soap instead of a medical drama...
They've established how they're suing the hospital. I still find that storyline obnoxious.
Oh God. Shonda always gets her way and ruins the whole story!
Did anybody else watch last night?
I really like the storylines they're developing with the interns - after eight seasons, there's just only so much you can do with the group that has been here from the start. (In terms of unique storylines, that is - not their limitations as actors).
I got this weird sense of almost, I dunno, pride! when I saw Meredith and Christina running their own ORs and being attendings. Wow, it really has been a long time.
Also couldn't help wondering if Alex calling Wilson "Princess" was a reference to Camilla Luddington's last major role.
I liked the show this week too and I also agree about feeling a weird sort of pride while watching Meredith and Cristina running their own areas now. I feel like we've watched them all grow up!
Just finished watching the last night's episode and WTH was that?! It was going SO WELL till the last minute that I was thinking how stupid I was blaming the writers for story jumping the shark lately! WTH was that?! Oh, my, God, are they serious???
I didn't think it was a jump the shark moment at all?
I meant coming this season. Killing those characters, affairs between certain characters. And all those moments were about to be redeemed until that last minute of the latest episode. But now that I come to think of it more, I think it sort of makes sense, in a way.
I don't see how Bailey's marriage could ever make up for the horrific hour of television that was the plane crash, or killing off Lexie and Mark ahead of less interesting and far more annoying characters. I thought her decision to run was highly predictable. There was trouble from way back in wedding planning.
I would have liked to see more of Meredith and Lizzie than 2 scenes, and I LOVED Callie the entire episode.
Izzie left four seasons ago. Do you mean Cristina?
I found Bailey running out on her wedding predictable Grey's Anatomy. The guy who plays her fiance is on another series, so they had to have a device that allowed him to only appear occasionally, but the plot point of him moving to Los Angeles to do a surgical residency is ridiculous. If she's going to marry the guy, he should live in the neighborhood.
I KNOW. She was totally AMAZING and STUNNING throughout.
I was really happy with Meredith opening up to *spoilers*Lizzie, Derek having a wonderful surgery, Alex having a thing with fake-Izzie and growing up as a teacher, Callie and Arizona moment, Richards totally being Bailey's mentor/father thing-y, Christina and Owen making up. Especially Christina and Owen making up. For me that was about to make up those horrendous set-ups of plane crash. But those writers wouldn't just let me have that moment, wouldn't they
Oops, no, I meant Lizzie!
Got it! Those were good scenes.
I found Adele Webber's death sad. Will Dr. Webber now be tortured that he did the wrong thing by placing her in a care facility? I'm offended by that.
I also found the notion that Cristina and Owen are getting divorced because they love each other ridiculous. That's real life. If you can't handle the evolution of a relationship, nothing will ever last more than a year or two. True, marriage isn't for everyone, but the way they put this was preposterous.
I thought the issue wasn't that she was in a home, but that he stopped coming to see her?
^ I thought the same thing. The director guy (or whoever that was that came with Adele to the hospital) said something about he said Webber should limit his visits, but didn't tell him to stop visting altogether, so that is why I think that.
I read it as a combination of both.
Well of course Webber is going to feel guilty and tell himself that had Adel not been in a home maybe she'd still be a live. That's what Webber will think but not necessarily what the show is trying to say being the reason for her death. People tell themselves all kind of things when they hit with a tragedy... could've should've would've.
I also think it's the right thing to do for Yang and Hunt to divorce. They love each other tremendously but still want totally different things in life and from their marriage.
I thought Yang and Hunt were proceeding with the divorce due to Hunt's appearance of conflict regarding the lawsuit. Perhaps I should revisit the last episodes; I may have been half asleep.
Oh, Adele Another spectacular episode and I regret swearing at the episode right before this one. Joe and Alex connection was quite good actually. I love they can bond with their crappy childhood and dark yet funny side.
Re Yang and Hunt's divorce, I think it's more than the lawsuit. Hunt says that their marriage is a cage and all they kept doing during the marriage is beating each other, pushing each other away, boxed in that cage. But is this the ultimate end of their relationship? I don't think so. I think and believe they will find their own ways to be together.
The last scene where Richard pictures himself and Adele dancing their last dance together was beautiful. Just heartbreakingly beautiful.
I'm a le bit nervous about the next episode. What's happening to Owen?
Time to bump this up.
I thought there were some nice moments in the episode. I especially liked Yang and the over eager intern (don't remember her name), who tried to give the Jehovah Witness kid blood. Back at the start of Grey's, Yang would have been the one sneaking the kid blood. It showed a nice passage of time and evolution as a dr that she lectured the intern and taught her why it was wrong.
Although I'm not on board with the whole divorce revived our relationship thing, the end scene between Yang and Hunt was also really sweet.
Bailey was in classic mode last night. "Let's go tributes and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
Good episode for the most part last night. Wonder what's up with that Cahill lady and why she gave up surgery. There's something there. Arizona being her badass self to get that girl to walk was pretty cool and I LOVED the scene of Meredith freaking out over the baby and it just being her baby kicking for the first time. So cute!
I just want Alex to end up with Wilson.
It is cute they are buddies - but it is time he moves on from Izzy, Lexie, Ava... all the freaky chicks.
So April's and Derek's efforts to make budget cuts to save the ER are fruitless because Cahill is there to prep the hospital to sell it? Sell it to who? I don't understand that.
To the highest bidder. The hospital had to pay $15 million to Derek, Meredith, Arizona and Christina, and perhaps more to Mark and Lexie's families, so they're in debt. Cut expenses, look efficient, it's easier to sell.
What else has the actress who plays Cahill done? She looks and sounds so familiar but I can't quite place where I'be seen her before.
^ Constance Zimmer was on Entourage and Boston Legal for at least 20 episodes to name a few. Her profile is quite impressive.
I loved how Meredith reacted to baby's kicking. That was so funny and cute
What I don't understand is in what world is a hospital without an ER more valuable?


text: About a year and a half ago we moved to an area where we didn't have friends. But I did find a quilt group. These gals had known each other forever, but they welcomed me like I was a long lost sister. They and their quilting have been such a blessing to me. They all talk at once and laugh and just have fun. Even if I didn't like to quilt, I think I would fake it just to get to be with them. They brighten my life. I wonder if quilters are nicer people than most???

We have a two story Nuc with a total of 8 deep frames that is doing well.
The bees are still drawing out some comb though.
It's getting filled with nectar, pollen and sugar syrup as they go.
Do I need to be concerned about them becoming over-crowded or swarming?
With what I'm seeing I would normally put on another super with four more frames but it is late in the season.
I may be able to take some unused drawn comb from the other hives if that is an option.

The sales numbers they have been posting over the last year have been nothing short of amazing, especially for the people who dont yet understand the LOVE, for the rest of us it is like "its about time they figured it out".

Hawaii lawmakers are moving forward bills to provide funding for collective bargaining agreements with nurses, teachers and correctional workers.
Committees of legislators approved the bills today. The full House and Senate still have to vote on the measures.
Sen. David Ige, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said higher-than-expected settlements in the state's negotiations with unions have delayed funding decisions for other proposed programs, including Gov. Neil Abercrombie's preschool initiative.
A budget committee approved a draft of the state budget Tuesday that left just $30 million to divide among collective bargaining agreements and other measures still being debated in the Legislature.
Funding for proposals still in limbo should be clear by the end of the day Friday, the last day for lawmakers to approve the final versions of bills.
Abercrombie originally asked for about $32 million to fund a new preschool program, but lawmakers have been reluctant to give it to him. Sen. Jill Tokuda said advocates for the bill are now focusing on getting funding for the 2014-15 school year and could revisit the issue next session.
In addition to his early childhood education proposal, Abercrombie's plan to encourage innovation also is in limbo. He originally asked for $20 million, and the Senate gave initial approval for $8 million.
Lawmakers also are weighing the potential financial impact of proposals for more generous tax credits for the film industry and other industries.
The last day of the legislative session is May 2.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'donations' tag.
Ezra Klein recently advocated donating to non-profits that can affect policy rather than charities:
If you donate money to a food bank, it can provide only as much food as your money can buy. If you donate it to a nonprofit that specializes in food policy issues, it can persuade legislators to pass a new program – or reform an existing one – that can do much more than any single food bank.
Robin Hanson disagrees with Ezra, arguing that these types of think tanks and organizations will mostly spend effort on partisan issues which he argues are likely wasteful:
Assuming all parties think they seek good, partisan changes can only be good if some parties are right while others are wrong about what is good. In contrast, you can be right about a non-partisan change without others being wrong…..
Donations to change policy within the partisan subspace, however, only achieve good when they happen to be on the right side of partisan disagreements. Averaged over the disagreeing parties, such donations cannot on average achieve good unless there is a correlation between between donations, or donation effectiveness, and which sides are right. Even if you think you are right at the moment on your particular partisan policy opinions, you can't think it good on average to encourage partisan donations, unless you think donations tend overall to go to the good or more donation-effective sides.
There are a couple of ways to look at this with respect to Ezra, his donations, and his advocating for such donations. On average, Ezra surely believes he and the organizations he donates to are on the right side of partisan disagreements. Also, being that Ezra's reading audience probably on average agrees with him, he also probably believes they are on average on the right side. So I think Ezra could agree with Robin that if you're writing for a random or sufficiently broad audience, advocating for donations to policy organizations would do no good, while also believing that he should make such donations and advocate for his audience to do so.
On the other hand, I'm not convinced that equal donations to, say, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Cato institute are zero sum. I see part of the function of these organizations as pushing politicians towards empirically grounded and efficient policies and away from populist, extremist, and obviously inefficient ones. I see raising the influence of these institutions relative to populism as raising the probability for any given outcome the government tries to achieve, whether it's more liberal or more conservative, the policy used is more efficient.
For instance, I'd venture that obviously inefficient and suboptimal policies like the minimum wage, tariffs, and the gold standard are much less popular among the median think tank, or think tank dollar, than they are among the median voter. Think tank solutions on average tend to utilize more transfers and market oriented allocation and less government mandated quotas and prices than what popular support calls for. In addition, I'd venture that futarchy and policies that seek to cut medical spending –two of Robin's favorites– would be, on average, much more popular within the walls of a random think tank than within the walls of a random U.S. home.
In short, these places think like economists. Even if they cancel each other out along partisan lines, think tank donations push policies away from the biases of the rationally irrational voter.
One test of this idea is to ask whether people on the right would agree that we'd have better policies if the CBPP was more influential on the left. Likewise, would people on the left agree that we'd have better policies if Cato were more influential on the right? Perhaps it reflects my personal policy biases, but I happen to think the answer is yes.

Not a guy you want in your division so you have to play him twice each year. Very intelligent, athletically gifted; this could be bad news for the rest of the NFC East. Washington can't stink forever.
Weak O-line and no receivers, and no way to replenish them due to all the draft picks traded. I expect him to spend a lot of his first few seasons on his back.
This is a 2016 problem, at best.

PR-B Area Relay for Life planning meeting is March 4
The first planning and team captain meeting for the 10th anniversary of the Pine River- Backus Area Relay For Life will be at 6 p.m. Monday, March 4, at The Warehouse in Pine River.
Talk to friends, co-workers or family members and get a team together to participate in this overnight event in the fight against cancer.
Has someone in your family, a close friend or respected co-worker battled this disease? How did it make you feel when you found out about their diagnosis? The common reaction is to offer your assistance in whatever way you can to help them through their journey.
The Relay For Life is also a way for you to support your mission of assisting those you love in the battle against cancer.
Teams can consist of eight to 15 members and each member raises $100 through the sale of luminary bags in honor or memory of a loved one. The luminary bags can be decorated by the donor with pictures, drawings or words about their loved one. The luminary bags are lit at dusk at a special ceremony with each bag representing a loved one and family and friend network behind that person.
It is the 10th year since the relay returned to the Pine River-Backus area, so plans are to make it a big event. To do so, organizers need you to get a team together, make a donation to the event or a team, and then come and celebrate with the survivors at the Relay For Life.
It is also the 100th year anniversary of the American Cancer Society, so there will be many reasons to celebrate.
Contact Tina Grewe at 568-6084 with any questions about the Relay For Life. The 10th annual Relay For Life will be Friday, June 21, at the Pine River-Backus High School track with the opening ceremony honoring area survivors at 7 p.m.

Inspirational Love Stories of Palo Alto Couples
Original post made by lew697, Charleston Gardens, on Feb 13, 2013
"Her aunt gave her number to my brother and he forwarded it to me, so it was a blind date. My mother told me, the best thing I could do is go to bed with a nurse, and that is why I decided to marry her," chuckled Jack Geffner. "She accepted me and we had a lot in common since I was a podiatrist and she was a nurse. I was 36 when we married, and it was time. I had waited until I graduated from college and got out of the Air Force before settling down. I wanted to make sure that I could support a family."
"My aunt had given my number to several people, and when he called me, I told him I was busy because I was not interested in anyone my aunt contacted. After the third call, I agreed to go out with him," said Shirley Geffner. "He took me on a double date, and afterwards I told my mom he was okay, but he had a good looking friend. He grew on me. He had a good sense of humor, and we had a lot in common. He was the poorest out of anyone I dated, but he had a very nice personality. We continue to enjoy each other, respect each other and it is nice having somebody in bed with you."
While the Geffners tied the knot 66 years ago, Manny and Bee Cherkas will celebrate five years of marriage this July. The couple actually started dating after sitting next to each other at a meet and greet lunch at Moldaw Residences before the community broke ground, and got married seven months later.
"Who would think at 70 you would find someone, but it happens," said Bee. "I remember when one of my adult daughters first met Manny, she asked so many questions it was almost embarrassing. She was being very protective. Our relationship has been easy since we have good health, no young children, no financial problems, and no in-laws. I believe that it is never too late for new beginnings."
"It is wonderful finding love with such a wonderful woman. We hit it off very quickly and we knew we wanted to stay together," said Manny. "When we got married, I thought, 'This is the start of the rest of my life,' and I am enjoying every minute of it."
It is not every day that you hear about high school sweethearts who have been married for nearly 55 years. Harry and Ellen Rubinchik went to the senior prom together, and Harry gave her his fraternity pin which Ellen later lost.
"He asked me to marry him during my high school graduation party, and he was so nervous that he broke the ring box. We were going to have a big wedding, but both of our parents gave us money, and we decided to save it for a down payment on a house instead," said Ellen. "We have one son, and we have shared a lot of fun adventures together. We believe in working together, being good to each other and talking things out. We are very fortunate; it is like I have never been without him."
"We have so many friends that remarried and divorced. We are one of the few couples that stayed together," said Harry. "Your love grows over time, and the longer you stay together, the greater you feel about each other. I always tell people, do not run away when there is a problem, it is important to work things out."

text: Hello all. I was reading that some people want to convert the rear drum brakes on the Silverado to disc. Is this a good move by GM to keep putting drum brakes on $40K pickups? I am pretty sure that the drum brakes in the rear will do the job just fine. IIRC GM had 4 wheel disc on their trucks up to 2002, but then went back to rear drums.

Video: Standing ovation for Christie at CPAC
posted at 2:41 pm on March 6, 2014 by Allahpundit
Actually, although I have video of his speech, I don't have video of the reception he got. You'll have to trust David Freddoso and Eliana Johnson on that:
The crowd gathered at the Conservative Political Action Conference rose to its feet as Chris Christie exited stage left…
Christie's remarks were highly anticipated, not only because of the lingering scandal but also because CPAC brass dinged him last year by leaving him off of the guest list. Today, the governor was greeted with murmurs and some quiet cheers; he drew more excitement from the audience as he proceeded…
Christie returned to a familiar theme, contrasting the labor of the GOP's governors with the fecklessness of politicians in Washington. "The most dangerous ten feet in Washington, D.C., is between anybody who wants to talk about something and a camera," he said.
Criticizing other pols for playing to the media is an … interesting line of attack from a guy who got famous for yelling at people in YouTube clips, but oh well. He does sound like a candidate: "We don't get to govern if we don't win," a key line from today's speech, is one I've heard him use before as an allusion to his alleged electability advantage over the rest of the field. Emphasis on "alleged":
As conservatives gather in the Washington area on Thursday for three days of speeches from prospective 2016 presidential candidates and discussions about the future of the GOP, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that three in 10 of all Republicans say they would not vote for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie if he ran for the White House…
Just 9 percent of Republicans say they definitely would vote for Christie, while 50 percent say they would consider doing so. Eleven percent say they have no opinion.
The 30 percent of Republicans who say they definitely would not vote for Christie is the highest percentage for any Republican tested.
Here's what the overall numbers look for Christie, the consummately electable centrist with crossover appeal…
…and here's what they look like for Rand Paul, the supposedly unelectable far-right libertarian:
If that doesn't grab you, here's what Christie's numbers look like in Fox News's new poll. Note the partisan split, especially:
Of the seven candidates mentioned in Fox's poll — Hillary, Biden, Paul, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Christie — only Christie had negative numbers in all three partisan groups, including his own. Among tea partiers, he's at 35/47, behind even Bush (42/46), which means he's actually doing slightly better with TPers than with the rest of the GOP. The only good news for him in all of this is that, per the WaPo data noted above, there's an even greater number of Americans (48 percent) who say they definitely wouldn't vote for his centrist rival Bush than say the same for Christie. Go figure that, in the electability sweepstakes, the guy named "Bush" has the biggest hill to climb.
Here's two minutes from today's speech, which included a reminder that the blue state of New Jersey has twice elected a pro-life governor. Translation: Reports of my squishiness are greatly exaggerated.

Managed to get out yesterday with the rally. Have it setup with 19/54 gearing and I went back to the stock tires/wheels. I left the body 1 hole higher on the posts though and I installed some straight rate springs in the rear from a stampede as per the Jangs suggestion.
I really like the stock tires SO much better than the buggy tires/wheels I was running before. They get better grip on all surfaces, the car handles way better, drifts better, turns better... everything is better. This car really benefits from the larger outer sidewall on the SCT style tires. I hope traxxas or proline releases different options in this size. Or at the very least, traxxas gets the tires in stock as this is all ill want to run.
I took the car out to a large sand spot at our local fair grounds. It was groomed smooth after the last time it was used so it only had a few minor bumps in it. If I go back I may take some cones and setup a course, possible even add a few minor jumps.
Before i went I attempted to install some roost deflectors behind the front wheels. I think the concept is sound, but the deflectors are not tall enough. Im going to keep working with the design to see if I can make it more effective. One thing is for sure, even with the deflectors, this chassis sure does collect dirt and sand. Luckily, it only took a few minutes with a compressor to clean it up again.
And a short video. Please forgive both the crappy driving and filming. I was holding my Iphone with one hand and driving the car with my other hand (yes, one had driving).

Visualizing ourselves ... with crowd-sourced data
Artist Aaron Koblin takes vast amounts of data — and at times vast numbers of people — and weaves them into stunning visualizations. From elegant lines tracing airline flights to landscapes of cell phone data, from a Johnny Cash video assembled from crowd-sourced drawings to the "Wilderness Downtown" video that customizes for the user, his works brilliantly explore how modern technology can make us more human.

Binghamton University campus visits reach an all-time high
About 20,800 prospective freshmen and transfer students visited the Binghamton University campus in 2004-05. That's an 18 percent increase from the year before and nearly double the 11,800 visitors who came in 2000-01.
Jeffery Gates, associate director of undergraduate admissions, said more than 70 highly trained student tour guides handle this vital introduction to campus. As many as 200 students apply for the job each semester.
"We also have over 100 student ambassadors who assist us in welcoming our visitors to campus for the special programs like Open House, Honors Day and Binghamton Multicultural Weekend," Gates said. "These students are volunteers who love BU and are proud to share their experiences with others."
Tours are just one aspect of the typical campus visit, though. Staff members also conduct an information session with parents and students. That part of the visit addresses the particulars of the admissions process, academic offerings at Binghamton and statistics about the University.
Applicants and their parents leave with a central message about Binghamton: This is the premier public university in the Northeast.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › GSI Ketalist?
Feb 8, 2011 at 2:55 pm #1268883
Is anyone using this? I haven't found the weight for the kettle minus the accessories. Is it the same kettle they had out before they introduced the kit? Looks pretty ergonomic (spout, bail, no need to lift lid) for when tired or at a poor campsite. Also, has anyone tried corking a kettle for efficiency or to keep water from tasting like smoke? (Friends sometimes build a campfire.)Feb 8, 2011 at 3:23 pm #1694162
The kettle is basically the same. If you don't need the accessories just get the kettle and save a few $$ and weight. The kettle in itself is a great tool and works well on alchy stoves sch as Whiteboxes.Feb 11, 2011 at 7:00 am #1695356
Local gear shop, mountainsports.com, had 3 versions of the gsi anodized kettle. I observed minor scratches through the surface, imprecise placement of rivets, and variances in lid fit (tightness/looseness) within the same version, but nothing likely to ruin a trip. I think they are all just under 6oz. There are some differences in versions (v1, v2, v3 are just my names):
v1: ~$20 (last one on sale for ~$10), small lid/entry, infusion basket, bail wire handle has molded plastic grip, bottom is crimped to wall of vessel, 0.8L claimed.
v2: ~$20, larger lid/entry, silicon tube over bail wire handle, one piece base, 1L claimed.
v3: Ketalist set ~$30, largest lid/entry, includes nesting sippy cup, bowl, spork, and sack, otherwise same as v2.
I purchased v2. It will hold 1L, but precariously. Closer to 3 cups is more realistic and ample for solo travel (or OK for duo) imho.Feb 11, 2011 at 7:37 am #1695375

I'm off to China in a few weeks, and I just purchased a new GSI Hae Tea Kettle online from REI for ~$23 (prices are on the rise, folks…). I think this is essentially the same kettle as ships in the Kettlist set. The Hae weighs in at 5.75oz, and has a 2qt capacity (~0.95 liters). The manufacturing is solid on mine – the lid fits snug without much rattle. The mouth is wide enough to fit my Whitebox stove, primer pan, shield, my Sea to Summit collapsible mug, a 3oz bottle of Heet, and cleanup supplies. I just wish it came with a lw drawstring bag to throw it in my pack. Suggestions on what to put it in are welcome!
ClodFeb 11, 2011 at 8:42 am #1695399
Yeah, 3 cups is about it. You can push 4 cups but you have to watch it when it boils – you can get some spurting.
V1 was the original. When V2 came out they dumped 1. 2 has a wider mouth (opening) and tea infuser). I like 2 better than V1 IMO. V2 also has a much better handle.
I have all 3 versions.Feb 11, 2011 at 12:32 pm #1695453
Sarah, Only the v1 (by my count/observation) has a basket, so perhaps I started count at your v2. Somewhere our numbering must not line up.
Neil, Check your metric to US conversion. Nice kit. I slid my kettle inside a knit hat, which I'll wear while cooking. I should put a plastic bag between the 2, if I cook on wood. I may have time in camp to weave a drawstring into the edge of the hat for a proper stuff sack.
Inside my kettle is a 110g canister, giga power stove, lighter, matches (in plastic), cloth napkin, teabags (in plastic), and decaf crystals (in rx bottle). My Ziploc screw top bowl doesn't nest, but I plan to finish my oatmeal on the trail. I'll drink out of a 1/2L nalgene.Feb 11, 2011 at 1:18 pm #1695466

A friend of mine has the Soloist set, and she finds that the wide mouth mug/bowl doesn't work very well—food cools off very quickly, awkward to drink from. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the mugs are at least similar if not identical. I'd pass on the kit, and figure out something that nests but functions better as a serving set.Feb 11, 2011 at 5:34 pm #1695576
Yeah, I didn't write that very clearly. Sorry!! Baby was sitting on lap and not helping me type.
Anyhow, yeah I meant the diffuser was with V1. I tossed that right away ;-) Saved a good chunk of weight.
The bowl/mug that comes with V3 (the set) is the standard GSI mug/bowl. I like them but not everyone does. I hate the spork though. That thing is god awful!Feb 14, 2011 at 4:25 pm #1696720Feb 15, 2011 at 11:28 am #1696975

I'm a big fan of the kettle, it's wide, stable, and light. I pair it with a primus spider express for winter trips. The huge opening and wide base makes melting snow easy. If packed correctly, I can squeeze in the stove, windscreen, and the smallest snowpeak gas can all inside.Feb 16, 2011 at 7:06 am #1697323

@crgowoLocale: Desert SW
I noticed in my V3 kettle the bowl and mug set is smaller then the bowl and mug set I got with my pinnacle dualist. I actually prefer the smaller set since it doesn't feel as awkward in my hands. I wonder if you buy them individually which size do you get.Feb 16, 2011 at 7:50 am #1697347
I believe that the set in V3 is the same as set in the Soloist. Why the don't sell them separately is beyond me! The sell the larger 20-ounce set and the 14-ounce triangle shaped one, but not the smaller round set.

Have Democrats agreed to make border security a prerequisite for a path to citizenship?
posted at 10:41 am on April 1, 2013 by Allahpundit
You tell me. Listen below to Schumer on yesterday's "Meet the Press" describing the process agreed on by the Gang of Eight. First comes probationary legal status, which has always been the Democratic prize. Then comes border security, replete with certain "metrics" to quantify improvement. Then comes the path to citizenship. He doesn't explicitly say that the citizenship process won't begin unless and until the goal in each of those metrics is reached (although he does use the words "after that happens" about border security), but he's also not giving you the pure amnesty-shill line in which border security and citizenship operate concurrently and independently of each other. I've never understood why, if they're getting probationary legalization right off the bat, Democrats would put up a fuss over Rubio's demand that border security serve as a "trigger" for the citizenship process. Once you've got legalization, you'll get citizenship sooner rather than later. Better that they cave on the "trigger" to give Rubio some political cover to keep pushing this bill to conservatives than make a stink that ends up further spooking border hawks. For now, just bookmark this clip for easy reference later this week or next when we finally get to see the details of the new bill. It'll be fun to compare the two just to see how weaselly Schumer ended up being in his language here.
Quick question from the LA Times, by the way. If the GOP's keen to win over Latinos by caving on principles they've held in the recent past, why not cave on ObamaCare too? It's at least as important as immigration to the voters they're trying to woo:
Latinos, who have the lowest rates of health coverage in the country, are among the strongest backers of President Obama's healthcare law. In a recent national poll, supporters outnumbered detractors by more than 2 to 1. Latinos also overwhelmingly see guaranteeing healthcare as a core government responsibility, surveys show…
"This is going to hurt Republicans," said Matt Barreto, cofounder of Latino Decisions, a nonpartisan national polling firm. "When Republicans keep saying they will repeal the health law, Latinos hear the party is going to take away their healthcare."…
Surveys indicate that close to 30% of Latino citizens and legal permanent residents lack health insurance. By comparison, just 11% of white and 17% of black Americans are uninsured, according to the latest data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…
Nearly half of Latinos in a recent Pew Research Center poll said they trusted the federal government to do the right thing "always" or "most of the time." Just 20% of white respondents felt that way. And two-thirds of Latinos believed the federal government should ensure that everyone has access to health insurance, a 2012 Latino Decisions survey found.
Politico has a pair of stories up today about the emerging paths to citizenship in Congress, one in the House and the other in the soon-to-be-revealed Gang of Eight bill. The House GOP apparently wants a citizenship process that takes roughly 20 years; the Gang of Eight allegedly will require thousands of dollars in fines to be paid by illegals before they can qualify (versus just $500 proposed by the White House). Assuming this thing passes, the story of the next two years on immigration will be Republicans struggling to hold the line on whatever final numbers end up in the bill while Democrats use 2016 political pressure to try to get them to lower the requirements for citizenship. (After all, if the point is to take illegals out of limbo, why stick them in a citizenship process they can't afford? The argument will quickly move towards taking them out of that legal limbo too.) The great risk for the GOP in framing its immigration moderation explicitly as a way to win Latino voters is that grassroots conservatives will expect some electoral bang for their buck fairly soon. That's not the way most Republicans are selling this — typically you hear them say that winning over Latinos is a long process, with immigration reform a first necessary step — but GOP border hawks will want to see at least some improvement upon Romney's share of the Latino vote three years from now. And Republican pols surely know it. That's why they have an incentive to cave, if not now then later, on citizenship requirements. The closer we get to 2016, the more pressure they'll face to show some improvement with Latinos, which in turn will encourage further concessions if their polling among that group hasn't changed much. And they'll make those concessions knowing that the base will forgive them in the interest of winning back the White House. But if they don't win, lots of bitterness to come.

[Article]-Human Intelligence to Navigate the Security Data Deluge

Permalink: [Article]-Human Intelligence to Navigate the Security Data Deluge
By Robert J. Shaker II, CISSP, CCSK, CGEIT, CRISC
Since the dawn of man there has been intelligence. Hunter gatherers would venture out and learn from the world around them what each sound, smell, and taste meant. The growl of a large predator would alert them to prepare for a defensive effort or to change paths. The smell of smoke meant other humans were nearby, and the taste of bitter meant something wasn't edible. As time marched forward, needing to learn more about the other packs of humans around them became more important. There was competition or cooperation for resources but this required getting to know the other pack. Sometimes the best way to do that was to spy on them, to gather intelligence about the way they behaved, the way they interacted with each other and to determine how strong or weak they were.
Regardless of the point in history, this has always proven to be true. We can see it as we progress through our modern era. In fact, this became so important that commercial intelligence companies began forming. The Age of Exploration saw a boom in this industry as the colonial armies grew. Their need for intelligence required outside parties, whether to help with the sheer volume of work, geographic disbursement or to give plausible deniability. Is it so different now?
Today, we are up against countless adversaries. They're nameless, faceless and shrouded behind false information. The ships that are on the horizon, the spies in our midst and the fortress we protect are all in the digital domain. The virtual skies are foggy and visibility is low. Today's environment is much more difficult to navigate. The one commonality between these two vastly different times is the importance of human intelligence, and I'd argue that today it's even more important than ever. A couple scenarios below will illustrate just how important it is for our innately human talents to remain a vital part of cyber security.

They are not amateurs, yet they are not quite pros. They are semi-pros.
I've been doing a lot of research lately on mid-20th century semi-pro teams in New England. I can find very little resources out there to support my research, so I thought I'd turn some of the questions over to the community.
I put the thread in "The Minor Leagues" because the semi-pro circuits were certainly quite minor leagues for the most part. Then again, some of them were great drawing cards for the local towns. In the case of the New England League, they were an official Minor League, then a minor league, then an official Minor League again, and then part of another Minor League.
Anyway, if someone thinks this belongs in a better place, feel free to move it. Or maybe a Semi-Pro forum could be started.
Some of the teams I've been researching are in no particular order:
- George Lane's Weymouth Pal's (Mass.)- The Pals were obviously based in Weymouth, Mass. and were one of the strongest semi-pro teams of the 30's.
- The Plymouth Cordage team (Mass.)- This was the company team for the Plymouth Cordage rope making company in Plymouth Mass. They were also a very strong team at times.
- Pittsburgh Hobos (Mass.) - I've found these Hobos before WWII. They're hard to figure out because they all used well known millionaires' names as aliases. They were a novelty team "made up of former minor league stars and several vaudeville performers".
- The New England Hobos (Mass.) - These Hobos were a gag team made up of many former pros who dressed as hobos when playing local college, Town or minor league clubs. They were based out of Boston in the 40's and 50's and were a yearly featue at Fenway Park's Mayor's Field Day.
- Georgia Chain Gang (Mass.) - Like the Hobos, this was another gag team which featured mostly the same players as the New England Hobos. They dressed in jail attire and were chased to their positions by the team captain dressed as a cop.
- Casassa Club (Mass.) - This was an entry in a Revere baseball League in the 20's and 30's sponsored by Revere Mayor Andrew A. Casassa. Casassa made a push to build a ball park for the Braves and Red Sox in Revere when Sunday baseball was being denied the Hub teams.
- Arthur Fisher Shoe Company Team - Fisher's team was not only a company team, but also an aggregate of local all-stars who played a yearly charity game against the Boston Braves in the 1930's. In 1936, they played the St. Louis Cardinals instead.
- McElwain Shoes (NH) - This was a company team based in Manchester. They played against many of the teams listed here.
- Plus teams from the following leagues: New England League (WWII years) River Valley League, Boston Park League, Blackstone Valley League among others.
- Then there are teams who frequently toured New England, playing against the above teams: House of David, City of David, Philadelphia Giants, Royal Giants, Quaker Clowns and many more.
I've got info on all of the above, but I'm looking for a lot more. If you have any questions or answers, please feel free to post.

Passengers arrested at Columbia Regional Airport
Two passenger accessed plane through unsecured door
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia police confirm two people were arrested for trespass at the Columbia Regional Airport.
The incident happened Sunday, at about 6:45 a.m. on the American Airlines flight headed to Dallas/Fort Worth.
Airport security was notified that 33-year-old Martin Mendez-Costabel and 36-year-old Katie L. Mendez, both of California, had boarded the plane by accessing an unsecured door at the airline's ticket counter.
Columbia Public Works spokesman Steve Sapp says the couple was running late for their flight, so they bypassed the ticket counter then bypassed security.
The couple also found an unsecured door to the tarmac and boarded the plane.
When crews realized they did not have the right boarding pass, the passengers were removed by security and then arrested by Columbia police for trespassing.
TSA agents then re-screened all the other passengers and luggage, but nothing was found.
City officials say they are upgrading to electronic locks on some of the doors.
"Some of those changes we are implementing are electronic locks to certain passageways and areas so that it doesn't require an action for these areas to be secured, so we're working with security, the airlines, contractors and TSA's to make sure Columbia Regional is a safe airport to work out of," Sapp said.
He said some of those electronic locks have already been installed and they will continue to add those upgrades.

Lovely apartment, fantastic location. Wasnt sure why they felt they had to charge me an extra 150 dollars for the loan of a cot but i would definitely stay there again.
Apartment received as described. Subway is within walking distance in 4-5min, CVS store, Starbucks, Subway (sandwich) everything. Near or in the same house Provider: Key collection and check out everything works smoothly and tiptop! Everything happens very quickly.
Wohnung so erhalten wie beschrieben wurde. Subway ist zu Fuss in 4-5min erreichbar, CVS-Shop, Starbucks, Subway (Sandwich) alles in der Nähe oder im selben Haus.
Zum Anbieter: Schlüsselabholung sowie Check-Out funktioniert alles reibungslos und tiptop! Geht auch alles sehr schnell.
apartment was spacious and clean, unfortunately very noisy from the street side. provided sufficient material except towels: it was only the one for the shower, nothing for the hands or face PS there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow
appartamento spazioso e pulito, purtroppo molto rumoroso dal lato strada. materiale fornito sufficiente tranne gli asciugamani: era disponibile solo quello per la doccia, niente per le mani o il viso
P.S. non c'è ascensore e le scale sono molto strette
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Housing generally satisfactory but rather bruyant.Les rooms overlook the street and a church. Accommodation very clean and comfortable
Logement globalement satisfaisant mais assez bruyant.Les chambres donnent sur la rue et une église.
Logement tres propre et confortable
This apartment is perfect for you to experience New York and be in the middle of it all. Walking distance to most, times squere, empire state, subway nearby. Ok standard. This is not for those who plan far in time .... Very good help from the landlord.
Denne leiligheten er perfekt for dere som skal oppleve New York og være i midten av det hele. Gå avstand til det meste, times squere, empire state, subway i nærheten. Ok standard. Denne er ikke for deg som planlegger mye inne tid....
Veldig god hjelp fra utleier.
This is a really lovely apartment. Everything was as we expected and everything is in good working condition. It is in a really good area around lots of bars and restaurants and very short walking distance to Broadway and Times Square. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy at night with the traffic.
The aparatmento very correct and clean, not the Wifi worked but we call him in an hour and brought us another router. All very well.
El aparatmento muy correcto y limpio, No nos funcionaba el Wifi pero le llamamos y en una hora nos trajo otro router. Todo muy bien.
Accommodation is good, very nicely furnished and quite complete for several people. Nevertheless, one should not always as in older, renovated buildings U.S. expect to perfect structural condition. In the vicinity of Times Square and just above it is neat little restaurants loud. But one is also close to it and a few minutes walk from the "scene", as well as long-distance bus station and train station. Recommended and reel.
Unterkunft ist gut, ansprechend eingerichtet und für mehrere Personen durchaus komplett. Gleichwohl sollte man wie stets bei älteren, renovierten US-Gebäuden nicht einen zu perfekten baulichen Zustand erwarten.
In der Nähe des Times Square und direkt über kleinen Restaurants ist es ordentlich laut. Dafür ist man aber auch dicht dran und nur wenige Fußminuten von der "Szene", sowie Busbahnhof und Fernbahnhof entfernt.
Empfehlenswert und reel.
Apartment smaller than the pictures suggest. Very noisy, but not a bad location
Appartement plus petit que les photos le laissent à penser.
Très bruyant, mais plutôt pas mal situé
