Bubola Sarah, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Sarah bag was designed to be colorful and versatile. Attach the leather shoulder strap for everyday use, use the chain strap for evening, or just connect the rings together for an entirely different look. Inside, the bag is lined in suede and has two slide pockets and two zippered pockets, one which serves as a divider. But wait, there's more! The bag come with a detachable pouch that can be used to carry makeup or change. What looks like fur on the sides of the bag is actually lasered leather. I like the orange, but the Italian leather bag also comes in six other colors: chocolate brown, red, golden yellow, tan, blue-gray and black. $425.

I have a quick question. Does anyone know what the original colors of the locomotive the General were? I've been looking at model trains on the Lionel website as model railroading is a hobby of mine and one of the locomotives they have is the General but it's in green and black with gold trim. The colors just didn't feel right right so I've done a little looking around online and find it in red and black. But there again I have questions as late in the war the locomotive was deliberately destroyed, well more severely damaged, to keep it out of Federal hands and had to be repaired after the war. Which means it could have been repainted. The red and black scheme feels more authentic, but I'm not sure it was. If I were to decide to purchase the Lionel model I might want to repaint it to fit how the General actually looked. And I'm sure that green was used on locomotives then, but the scheme they have just doesn't seem right. |

I believe it may have been black, red, and gold. Mostly black, red second, gold accents. I'm not completely positive, but I think i may have heard something about this? Again, not sure. Sorry mate. ~Insecurity |

Hellcat- No doubt the train is depicted with different color schemes by different people. Have you seen this image from http://www.kennesaw.com? http://www.kennesaw.com/images/the-general-bridge.jpg |

No, I hadn't seen that image. That adds more to my confusion, I'm afraid, cause it's red and black with yellow and gold detailing. I did find the Unoffical Kennesaw Civil War Museum Online (http://www.locomotivegeneral.com/index.html) after I posted this and the FAQ does say new paint has been applied but not if they've changed the livery from the original. Insecurity, don't be sorry. You are trying to help. |

Ok, this makes things even more confusing, http://home.earthlink.net/~khsociety/general/general.pdf. At the top of page 12 is what's claimed to be an early 20th century postcard image of the General on display at Chatanooga's Union Depot. The image is a color image showing a black locomotive with gold trim. Though looking at the tender it (the tender) could be a very dark forest green. I'm undecided if that is actually black with gold trim or so dark a forest green as to look almost black. The cab of the locomotive could also be the same color as the tender if it's a dvery dark forest green as the lighting makes it hard on me to decide the color there. The picture of the General on at the bottom of page 13, appearently showing the General arriving in Kennesaw in 1962, shows the locomotive in the colors it sports today. So that's two different color schemes which takes me back to my original question and also raises a second one. Was the early 20th century photo taken in color or was the color added later and the artist just selected a color scheme. I know I've looked at color photos from around the turn of the 20th century and they largely look too me like the color was added later, though I know color photography existed at that time. Here this largely looks too natural to my untrained eye to have been painted later. I say largely because I look at the brick work and some times it doesn't seem to jive with the rest of the image as it seems too pastel while other times it seems as natural as the rest. |

I managed to find this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SXGe9m1lk8. It appears to have the picture from page 12 of the PDF I linked to above, but the picture is in black and white. Again making me ask if that photo was colorized. |

Hellcat- I know that you have been looking at material from the Lionel model train folks, but have you seen this particular site? 1862 General Steam Engine It shows an image of the: "General" (as in: "Standard") 1862 locomotive of the type that: "The General" was. It says: "All 1862s are painted gray with a red cab and always included the 1862T tender." It also says: "No known variations," but I don't know if that means that the paint scheme was standard on the real locomotives, or just on the Lionel ones. Here is the 1862T tender, which is apparently always green: http://www.postwarlionel.com/images/1862b.jpg This pattern corresponds closely with the one from the Kennesaw folks that I posted earlier, except the boiler in that image appears to be painted black, not gray. Also, in the Lionel version, the headlight casing is painted red. I'm not sure if that will help or just cause more confusion, but I'll risk it. Absent a description from someone at that time, or some document that we haven't yet uncovered, you might never know for sure how the actual locomotive was painted in 1862.

Yeah, I did manage to find that site, think it was before I found the video I posted. I also found this site, http://local.trainz.com/articles/general.html, which goes into a long history of Lionel and the General. This was actually the version that started the thread, http://www.lionel.com/Products/Finder/ProductDetail.cfm?ProductNumber=6-38658&expandBranch=0&Keywords=&CategoryID=175&RailLineID=&CatalogId=. As you can see it's the 2008 version from the previous link. I don't know, that shade of green just seems off to me, the way it looks at Kennesaw is a better scheme. But a very dark forest green where the red is would also work. I mean a different shade of red, something closer to a pink, would be the same as the green on that Lionel page. I don't know, I'd just like to find something that tells what the original scheme might have been, says the scheme at Kennesaw is a return to the original paint scheme or that it was originally an all black color. But like you say, maybe that doesn't exist. Still I'm gonna keep looking. |

Everything about possible paint schemes for The General is helpful to the topic. My last post I posted a link to the reason why I started the thread in the first place. The paint scheme of Lionel's current model just seems wrong. |

Dalwhinnie 15 and Macallan 18
Hello! iI am new here and wanted to ask a few questions.
Dalwhinnie goes down nice, a little softer then the more expensive macallan. The dal sits nice with little burn and really flows well. The Mac seems to be harsher. Maybe thats just me? Your experience? I have had quite a few single malts and fins them much more palatable then other liquors. What is your favorite in the 60-1004 range? 100-200$ range? I am about to join some older gentlemen for single malt sundays...and was looking to impress Thank you |
Great to have to old friends to drink with!
Dalwhinnie is a very easy dram to power through, for me too. I'm not a huge fan of where Macallan is right now. When I taste old Macallan, stuff made 30 plus years ago, the spirit is of far superior quality to what younger expressions are now. I read all their propaganda about cask selection, narrow cut... but anything made in the last 20-25 years doesn't match the quality of what older bottles offer. About six months ago I had their 12 year from a bottle bottled about 35 years ago right next to their 12 bottled recently. Both bottles were opened at the same time for the tasting, and the older bottle was absolutely a better dram. They two were tasted double blind - meaning, of the 10 of us that tasted them, we didn't know what was being poured and in what order they were served. We actually had them side by side but they were placed in different order in front of the tasters; some had the old bottle on the right and some had it on the left and none of us knew ahead of time either were Macallan. Ten out of ten people picked the older bottling over the younger bottling and the experience of the tasters ranged from novice to industry pros. It was very enlightening and confirmed the opinion I've had about Macallan for about four years now. If you're wondering, three of the 10 of us (I was one of the three) recognized the whiskies were Macallan before they were unveiled. As for recommendations in your price ranges, I'd just suggest that price not be your guide and to just try a lot of different whiskies. Get into the independent bottlers, single cask, cask strength and unchillfiltered whiskies. This is where the most unique whiskies are generally coming from, in my humble opinion, and I think they'll be impressive to your friends because they likely will not have heard of them or had them. They've all surely had most of the major brands so go lesser known. That said, Glenfarclas cask strength, Highland Park, Springbank and a handful of other official bottlings are really top-notch. I had a customer bring me a sample of Kilchoman 4 year that was a unique bottling for the Tokyo International Bar Show. It was cask strength and bottled at 60%. Very interesting! Cannot wait to see some older expressions from them!!! It was so well balanced that it needed no water, even at this strength. One of the five-best drams I've had this year (I have had over 250 different whiskies so far in 2012). Anyway, good drinking! |
I agree with Dale. I have found older distillations of several malts to be far superior to the bottlings of present day. My theory is that with so many distilleries switching to computerized processes to reduce headcount to improve the bottom line, the true crafting of whisky is becoming a dinosaur. We as consumers are paying higher prices with lower quality. Gone are the days that we will experience the one-off single cask with superior quality because the experienced and skillful stillman's touch has been taken out of the equation ( e. g., Glenburgie has a staff of one monitoring the process...note I stated MONITORING, not RUNNING the process ). Still Glenburgie is a good whisky ( I like it as a session dram ), but it is not what it used to be. My hat is off to Springbank as the only computer you will find in the manufacturing process of whisky is a "chalkboard." I do know, as Dale suggested, that the industry has gained immeasurable knowledge in "wood management." I am also grateful for independent bottlers as they have applied these lessons to the point that I think the distilleries have to follow. There is no doubt that OBs are excellent, but there is also no doubt that independent bottlings give OBs a run for their money; especially in the single cask bottlings.
As for impressing your Sunday afternoon gentlemen's gathering, I wouldn't be so concerned. I humbly submit not to get hung up on price and age of malts. I have had excellent 3-year-old malts and crap 20, 30, & 40-year-old malts as well as good and bad NO-AGE-STATEMENT malts. Always keep in mind that old age and high price is not a prerequisite for a "good malt," but old age DOES translate to a higher price but not necessarily a better whisky. I also suggest that one should not confuse the personality of given malts with harshness. All too often people are searching for just SMOOTH whiskies thinking that anything other than smooth is harsh. Many times what is being perceived as harsh is in reality the personality and / or complexity of a whisky. Continue to develop your nose and palate and you will eventually reach the "AH HA" moment where you can truly tell the difference between harshness vs. a malt's personality and / or complexity. If you don't want to break the bank purchasing malts, try good malty drams as Glenburgie, Tamdhu, Glen Deveron ( MacDuff in independent bottlings ), Tomatin, Glencadam, An Cnoc, and as Dale noted, the young Kilchoman ( pronounced KILL-HOMAN, the "C" is silent ). Good luck on your endeavors with malts. Last edited by bkblankenship; 09-08-2012 at 05:37 PM. |
Kenneth makes a couple great points. The first being Glenburgie. I'm very fond of bottlings I've had, particularly from G&M and Signatory. The Signatory bottling I've had is a 26 year cask strength marvel. I've had 10 and 21 from G&M, and an 18 from the Prime Malt line. But things change and new bottlings don't seem to quite have the character of older bottlings.
I wholly agree that wood management is becoming more common with many distiller's due to the influence of the independents. The trick for the consumer is knowing whether it is merely lip service or dedicated practice. Sometimes these things become catchphrases - I remember wineries in Napa telling anyone who'd listen their wines were "Burgundian" in style. The problem was that cannot be said when they're pouring Cabernet because Cabernet isn't grown in Burgundy. As amusing as this seems, I've sadly seen it at many more than half a dozen wineries. So when the monster brands and distillers talk about their wood program, my first inclination is to not accept what I'm hearing at face value. The smooth - harsh comment is also a good one. There are technical harshness-es which shouldn't be in a whisky, generally from a distiller taking to wide of a cut weighted toward the feints. A good example of this is Edradour; it has a component that some might say is harsh but is really its character. I'd also say it's a man's man whisky, one I particularly enjoy for its malty, big beefy character - plus they and Signatory were the first producer/bottler I visited on my first trip to Scotland. Anyway, Kenneth's comments are spot on, and will consider them further with while enjoying the Rosebank 21 G&M I'm finishing tonight! |

During the eight years that Michael Kamber covered the Iraq war, he often had lengthy late-night conversations with his fellow conflict photographers. Whether it was in Baghdad or on shared embeds, the discussion usually turned to a mutual frustration that Americans were not getting a full view of the war.
Witnesses to War
Michael Kamber's Interviews
Versions of some of Mr. Kamber's interviews on Lens will appear in his forthcoming book.
"A lot of what we saw wasn't making it into the press," Mr. Kamber said. "Some images were blocked by the military or the embed process itself, others by the photographer's conscience or by a lack of interest by some media organizations."
Mr. Kamber, who worked extensively for The New York Times, felt that his colleagues had witnessed more of the war, from many different perspectives in every region of Iraq, than anyone else. Combatants on both sides saw it from their point of view. Civilians experienced it a different way.
"I would wager that there was no one who saw more of the Iraq war than people like Yuri Kozyrev, Joao Silva, Khalid Mohammed, Carolyn Cole, Andrea Bruce or Chris Hondros," he said. "They weren't in the Green Zone talking to generals and spokespeople. They were in the street and on the front line year after year."
Mr. Kamber decided that someone had to gather all of his fellow photojournalists' accounts and unpublished images in one place so there would be, in his words, "an accurate history." So he took on the task himself and started formally recording his colleagues. He has collected 39 of these interviews in a book, "Photojournalists on War."
It is a brutally honest account of the war in Iraq from the point of view of the men and women who photographed it.
A visual and oral history, the volume contains many of the most important images from America's nine-year war, including some that were never published in the United States because of their graphic content.
But the heart of the book is the interviews. The photographers open up to Mr. Kamber and discuss their experiences with remarkable candor. The book is a powerful read for anyone interested in photography, journalism or the documentation of war, and will be an invaluable resource for historians. The University of Texas Press plans to publish the volume later this year.
A collectors' edition, limited to 30 copies, is available for pre-ordering. It will be signed by five of the photojournalists who were interviewed and include an archival print of a photo by Mr. Silva. The special edition is being sold to finance the production of 5,000 standard copies, Mr. Kamber said.
Versions of Mr. Kamber's interviews with Patrick Baz, Mr. Silva and Stanley Greene previously appeared on Lens.
Mr. Hondros, one of the book's interviewees, covered the Iraq war for Getty Images. On April 20, 2011, he was fatally wounded in Misrata while covering the Libyan civil war. Mr. Kamber asked Mr. Hondros in September 2009 about the diminishing presence of Western photographers in Iraq:
You have to have a certain mind-set to embed with American military forces. The only real way to cover it was to be embedded.
And if you're not into that … there are some people who just constitutionally chafe at the restrictions. Not at just the embed agreement but the idea of being on a base with the soldiers.
Another factor is that the Iraq war has coincided independently with the implosion of the assignment media magazine world. These kinds of wars 10 or 20 years ago — where you had dozens of magazines around the world sponsoring photographers, taking care of them, paying for their insurance in these difficult environments — only a handful of [publications] are doing that anymore. If the media world is not paying for it, ultimately it's going to limit the number of photographers who go to these places. That's exactly what happened in Iraq."
Ahmad Al-Rubaye is a veteran Iraqi photographer. A former carpenter and wedding photographer, he extensively covered the Iraq war for Agence France-Presse. Mr. Kamber interviewed him in Baghdad in March 2010, asking: How many people did you know who were killed?
As friends and colleagues, Namir, a photographer with Reuters; Sayid, also. Another friend, Yussef, he got killed during the sectarian war killings. So many friends and journalists. Ali Al-Wasiti got killed by the American forces. He was working with Al Arabiya TV station. There were so many journalists who were killed. I can't remember all the names, but many were killed either by bombing or by American forces or they got kidnapped and killed by Al Qaeda.
During the sectarian war, I went inside a Sunni mosque and started photographing. The people who were guarding the mosque were from Ansar al-Sunna, and they got suspicious. After they searched me and listened to me talk, they knew I was a Shiite. They took my cameras and destroyed both of them, and they handcuffed and blindfolded me. They phoned someone, a guy called Abu Huthaifa, and told him, "We were able to capture a Shiite pig." Once I heard that, I knew there was no point in resisting because I was dead no matter what. But, thank God, there was a sheik there, an old friend of mine from high school, and he was able to convince them to let me go. He told them, "It's true he is a Shi'ite, but he is an Iraqi first." He saved me from a certain death.
Rita Leistner is a freelance photographer who entered Iraq on foot with Kurdish smugglers in 2003. During the year and a half she covering Iraq, Ms. Leistner photographed Iraqi detainees, women who were patients in a Baghdad psychiatric hospital, gravediggers during the 2004 siege of Najaf and fighters of the Mahdi Army.
You were photographing people who were fighting against America. I've heard all these arguments from American commanders — and even from journalists, American journalists — who said, "Well, I didn't feel like I could photograph people attacking Americans."
But it's O.K. to photograph Americans attacking Iraqis? To me it's the same thing. You're photographing people attacking other people. I think it's unconscionable. And complicated, and I understand it's a time of war, but either way, it's really hard to photograph someone who's firing a weapon at anybody. The Mahdi Army certainly believed that they were fighting for a cause. If you're trying to tell an overall story for history, how can you exclude something because you think that it's O.K. for one side to kill and not the other? I'm not pro-Mahdi Army by any means, but I did meet a lot of people who supported the Mahdi Army, and I wanted to find out why.
Later in the interview, Ms. Leister added:
I remember going across this one front line with Bashir, the Iraqi gentleman who was translating and fixing for us, and he's wearing a pink imitation Lacoste shirt. Two days later, after the cease-fire, one of the insurgents came up to us and said, "I'm a sniper shooter, and I was going to kill you, but when I saw the pink shirt I thought an American soldier would never wear a pink shirt." So it shows you how crazy and random survival is, in a way.

Actually I was just asked if I had a pamplet for ebikes yet again. you know those kind of things you get for carss.
I tried explaining how a chinese factory might make washing machines one week and ebikes the next, how many companies all buy from the same supplier of parts and how one month the motors might be from company X and next month company Y etc..
It got me thinking that a generic pamphlet "An introduction to ebikes" might be an idea to do. Have one done up nice with graphics and printed en mass.

Mayyim Hayyim is a mikveh - a ritual bath - and much more. We hope you'll find our website to be full of fascinating information, insights, and surprises. We look forward to hearing from you.
December 16, 7:30pm
After identifying a neglect in mikveh attendance in early twentieth century North America, two rabbis – independently, yet almost simultaneously – tackled the issue with the similar strategies: advocating building mikva'ot in private homes. Together we will explore their innovative proposals and discuss today's barriers to immersion, along with current and potential solutions. (more>>)
January 6, 13, 27, February 3, and 17, 2014, 7:00 - 9:00pm
This workshop series is a step by step tutorial to lead new Jews (and their partners) through the pragmatics of daily Jewish life. The five sessions will include ritual topics such as Shabbat and kashrut as well as ethical concerns such as giving tzedaka (righteousness, often understood to mean charitable giving) and honoring our parents. The class is open to all Jews by choice and their partners. (more »)
by Lisa Berman
Recently I had the opportunity to talk about Mayyim Hayyim and mikveh to a group of senior citizens, residents of the lovely Golda Meir House, just a few doors down from our organizational home here in Newton, MA.
The turnout was better than I expected with about 19 women and one brave man who, I suspect, had been coerced into attending by his more curious wife.
Join the Conversation on Mayyim Hayyim's Blog
The blog is updated twice a week with posts by local and national scholars, educators, and mikveh goers interested in exploring a new angle on a traditional ritual.

5 Ways to Savor the Flavor of Food
Thursday, January 26th, 2012Last weekend, my husband and I passed a woman walking down the sidewalk, holding a sandwich in her right hand. She kept taking bites of it and I wanted to say "Stop! You're not savoring!"
Next, next two ladies walked towards us holding paper plates with slices of pizza, eating as they walked. Oh no! The tragedy! Pizza is a treat, and must be eaten while sitting down, preferably in small bites, and chewed slowly.
Living Thin means ingesting only the amount of calories one needs in a day. That amount is limited, so I like to enjoy each and every bite I put in my mouth. Here are a few rules to help you enjoy food, and not overeat:
1) Slow down. Enjoy every bite. Chew food slowly. Food can only be tasted while it's in the mouth. After it goes down into the stomach, the pleasure of eating is over.
2) Sit down and eat. Make eating an event. Use plates and silverware. Cut food up into little bites; it feels like you get to eat more.
3) No walking and eating. Our bodies need to send oxygen to muscles for walking, not digesting. It's harder to chew and eat while walking — much harder to savor. Wait until there's more time to eat.
4) No eating in the car. Who remembers what they ate in the car? It's over before you know it, and there's no savoring because you're too busy driving or trying not to get food all over yourself. Most people end up eating more than they would have otherwise.
5) No mindless eating in front of the TV. It's easy to eat an entire bag of chips or cookies and wonder where they all went — which could be an entire day's allotment of calories. Either bring one portion to eat, then stop, or quit this habit altogether.

Kidz Can HQ
Wanna know what all the parents are raving about these days?
We provide a loving fun-filled environment where parent/carer and child share dedicated time participating in age-appropiate activities. These activities are specially designed to enhance the physical, emotional, cognitive, creative and social growth of the child, while concurrently developing their self-esteem and confidence in a nurturing manner.
Kidz Can HQ focuses on the needs and abilities of the child. The programs take into account what is developmentally appropriate for each child and allows them to proceed at their own pace. They are encouraged to play independently, alongside or cooperatively with other children according to their ability and stage of development.
We run the following programmes:
- 6-12 months
- 12-18 months
- 18 months – 3 ½ years
6-12 months (45 minute program
This program has been developed in collaboration with a Pediatric Physiotherapist, Kerry Perlstein and a Massage Therapist, Cheryl Cohen. Each exercise is designed to strengthen the young child's trunk stability and head control; to assist with all the necessary developmental milestones and to provide sensory motor experiences to encourage movement and self discovery.
12 to 17 month old (1 hour session) and 18 months to 3 ½ year olds. (1 1/2 hours)
These sessions are progressive. The children begin in the "free play toy room area", where they choose from a range of stimulating and educational toys. The session progresses to "ring-time" with an instructor. The children participate using a range of techniques such as songs, musical instruments, puppets, all building on their fine-motor coordination, language and social skills. Thereafter, the children play in the extensive gross-motor activity zone on equipment enhancing their balance, spatial orientation and physical strength.
Parents/carers socialize over tea or coffee, sharing in the pleasures and anxieties of child rearing, oftentimes making new friends.
Kids Can HQ is inclusive of all children and we have specialist consultants who ensure that our programs provide an environment and structure of optimum benefit to children with special needs.
"...We love this program because of its educational benefits, and the inter-activeness involved between us..."
—Louise James
"The Kidz Can HQ program is a real highlight of our week for my 2 year old son and me. Our weekly session is jam packed with opportunities to learn, play and develop while having fun in a social and stimulating environment.
"As a Mum, I particularly love the one to one play time that each session provides as well as the creative "ring time" activities. These aspects of the program give me precious time with my little one that is special for both of us."
"My son is a big fan of the free play time, where he is able to jump, climb and ride on the amazing equipment. What a fantastic way to expend toddler "
Birthday Parties
The "Kidz Can HQ" Birthday Party offers a unique, exclusive venue to celebrate this special day. Enjoy the premises exclusively as no other party or entry is available to the public. This adventure-land is bright and colourful and has ample space for children to enjoy an incredible array of equipment.
The equipment, including an obstacle course, train, trampoline, ball pool, swings and much more, is all on thick padded mats to ensure safety. We also offer birthday parties at other venues, or in the comfort of your own home.

Great Party Venue
By Great Party on 20/02/2013 1:33:56 PMWe have had 3 parties at Kidz Can HQ and they have all been great. There is so much space, so many play things and they do the clean up for you at the bed of the party. It really is a perfect venue.
I held my daughter's 2nd birthday at Kidz Can H.Q. It was a spacious and easy place to hold a party. There were kids around the 2-3 years of age plus some older kids closer to 10, and they all had a ball. Yvonne was there to lend a hand and help set up, and cleaning was even easier, as I didn't need to give it a thought. Debra and Dannyella were very accomodating and helpf (...) Read more
We had a party at Kids Can when my daughter turned 2 which was an absolute hit with all her friends. So it was the natural choice when it came to booking her 4th bday party this year.

We recently held a combined 1 and 3 year old party at Kidz Can and had babies and kids up to the age of 9 years old attending, along with 30+ adults.

We included the arts and craft option in our part (...) Read more
Thank you for a brilliant party, lots of happy faces small and big. Lights were off and the birthday girl still didn't want to get out of the ball pit! That says it all. Don't hesitate. Just book.
I have been taking my 2.5 year old son to Kidzcan since he was 15 months old and I can honestly say it has been the most wonderful activity we have done to date. It is the best value for money and I have met so many wonderful people through the classes. When my son role plays travelling somewhere his consistent response when I ask him where he is going is always "Kidzcan"! (...) Read more
I held my daughters second birthday party at Kidz Can in Elsternwick and it was perfect. Plenty of room for the children and the grown ups, and the equipment was kept the kids entertained the whole time. The staff were extermely helpful leading up to the event and during, helping to set up and just making sure everything was going well. Would honestly recommend it.
Thanks Marcelle, Laurie & staff for helping to make Ebony's 4th Birthday party such a success. The kids loved the biscuit icing, crown decorating and beading. Thanks for providing such a great venue and service!

San Diego's waterfront airport lies northwest of downtown, which is home to the San Diego Convention Center, PetCo Park stadium, and the Gaslamp Quarter's. That historic neighborhood's restaurants and bars are the hub of the city's nightlife. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo form a green swath in this urban jungle. Offshore, Coronado Island offers postcard views of the city skyline.

"Cute decor and spacious rooms"
We got a junior king suite on the first floor. Pros: comfy furniture, spacious room, modern, chic decor in the lobby area, friendly staff and free garage parking. Cons: noisy street facing room (again, we were on first floor) & power in our room went out 3 times in 24 hours only because we plugged in a portable heater they provided (later they sent […] someone to teach us how to use the wall heater and all was good).

"I've figured it out"
After reading the mixed bag of results, we were skeptical about booking. But now that I've stayed here, I think I've figured it out. If you're into a "young" scene and looking for a good time (e.g., don't mind other young people jumping into the pool at 11 pm, don't mind a more vegas-lite scene, etc.) this hotel will be great for you.

Overall a very good hotel experience. Staff was friendly pleasant helpful; hotel itself was clean and appeared to be well-maintained. My room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The mattress was comfortable and temperature ideal. A negative for me, mitigated by the fact I am a heavy sleeper, is that my street-facing room was very noisy starting […] at about 6 AM with heavy truck traffic. Rooms on the other side of my hallway face the Center atrium containing the swimming pool; I understand that on weekends the pool area can get quite crowded and can be noisy, depending on the time of year.

There's a bar/restaurant off the lobby, […] and the Red Fox Steakhouse in one corner of the building.

Unexpectedly good.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
This hotel is overpriced and in need of upgrading. Our room was very small and very noisey. No insulation from street or interior hallway noise. Our bathroom had no counter space for toiletries and the floor was filthy. The bed was made up with the fitted sheet in the wrong direction causing lumps and folds......I had to remake it. Voices from other […] guests in the hallway sounded like they were right in our room. We would not recommend this hotel and would not return here. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Almost all good"
The lafayette was a nice hotel, clean, comfortable, ecclectic, friendly, helpful.. The bathroom was updated, very clean. I had very little to complain about except one thing. The beds have two lamps attached at the walls for reading or whatever. Yet the switch at the entry door controlled the lights. So if you were in bed reading, or for whatever reason […] had to shut or turn on these lights you had to get up and go to the door. Seemed weird, but certainly inconvenient at some level.

I like this hotel a lot! Very close to the airport, balboa park, little italy and much more. If this is your first time in San diego, i would totally recommend this hotel.

This is a unique place -- each room has a photo of a movie star with a quotation from a movie. Rooms are large and roomy. The pool is out of a movie and worth the entire trip to swim at night.

"23rd Bday in Queen poolside suite"
I wanted to be able to relax and stay close to home so I decided to stay at the Lafayette because I loved it the first time I staid. The only complaint I had was that we had to move rooms because the fan in the AC was not working strong and I kindly asked if someone could come look at it and within minutes a maintenance guy was looking at the unit and […] told us what was wrong. He told us he would let the front desk know and we could get another room right away. We literally moved to the next room over. I am sure if there were no rooms available I would have been upset but there was no HUGE pool party on Friday so it was not very crowded. Pool side service was great. I enjoy being able to have a drink right by the pool and it was fairly cheap then what I expected. I loved the vibes and my friends and I had a GREAT time. It is a 21 and up pool and only all ages at certain times and days so it may come off as not family friendly but it states that it is a pool club and there is a bar so it should be assumed the pool may be blocked from all ages at times.

I had booked and prepaid 2 nights in a suite (non-refundable), my 4-year-old got sick on the way to the hotel and ran a high fever all night. I called the pediatrician in the morning and he wanted to see us right away, which meant having to leave. I walked up to the front desk to let them know that we would have to check out early and they actually […] gave us a refund for the second night. I was very happy about this unexpected gesture. Hotel otherwise was clean, food was fine. Never got to use the pool because of the sick child. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
The hotel has an interesting history. The decor and architecture are interesting and we enjoyed the ilm quotes on the nameplates outside the room doors. We did not sleep well there as there was too much "white noise" caused by the air conditioning unit, an ice machine outside our room and a number of air conditioning units on the roof below our window. […] Also, the room was so small that there was no furniture in the room other than 2 queen-size beds. The hotel is well-run and promotes itself well (there were 2 weddings there that weekend and a poolside radio DJ). Value for money? We will stay elsewhere on our next sojourn to San Diego.

"Beautiful quirky hotel, worth the small bad points"
Staff not as welcoming as would have hoped. Small grumbles such as not informed there was free coffee in the mornings even though I enquired whether breakfast was included or not (it wasn't so even more reason to be told about the free coffee and not likely to see the coffee as had own entrance to room so no need to walk through reception). Also very […] smart postcards in the rooms boasting about all the help they could give, but when we asked after local running maps, as suggested on the postcard, we were met with bemused shrugs and no offer of help at all. We had a family suite which offered great space but disappointingly was decorated very blandly in comparison with the rooms we could see at the side of the pool. The hotel reception and poolside was beautifully presented and it felt very special to be there. There was an element of local pool afternoons and evenings (e.g. film night while we were there was very loud) making you feel as if hotel guests were not first priority, but for us this didn't take away from the experience and added to the quirky and individual feel of the hotel.

"Great 1930's themed Hotel and Great Pool"
We had such a great time at this hotel, it was in an area of San Diego that had some great restaurants and shops, plus the hotel pool was one of the nicest that we have ever seen. The only thing I would of liked is a quieter hotel staff, each morning we got woken up from them getting ready to clean the rooms, because since the hotel is older the walls […] are not as thick.

"Pleasantly surprised!"
This hotel is a bit off the beaten path but for the rate and the "coolness" of it I would definitely stay there again and refer friends and family there. It's close to some shopping/restaurants in a bit of a "crusty" part of San Diego but it's safe and offers easy access to freeways, dining, etc. For as expensive as San Diego is for hotels this is a […] great deal. And the pool is awesome! Great lobby, super clean and hip rooms, large and bathrooms are clean and spacious. There's also a restaurant and bar within the hotel,too. I highly recommend this place. I have lived in San Diego for 20 years and didn't know about it. Now that I came back as an "out of towner" I felt this was a coup to find this. Go for it! You will be pleased. If you have an open mind and a car to get around this is a great place to stay for saving some money yet having a really great hotel experiences in San Diego.

"Not Worth the Money"
I should have listened to the reviews. This room was way overpriced for what we got. The walls were thin, the bathroom was tiny and you could hear every sound. Our view was a machine on the top of the building which was also incredibly loud. It was okay for a one night stay but we'll never stay there again. HOWEVER, the area is pretty adorable - Within […] less than a mile we had a delicious breakfast and some cute local stores. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

while the suze suite was great for our family given kids had there own room and tv, the location was not best part of town and given there are pool parties on sundays from 1-5 p.m. which they don't tell you about until check-in it is more a place for young singles not families with kids. we made the best of it. given we were busy not having access to […] pool was a real issue.

"I don't recommend this hotel..."
I really did not enjoy my stay. First when we arrived, we had to pay a $100 deposit (which was not stated at all on the website or over the phone) which we really did not expect because we ordered this room 2 months in advance and they didn't inform us of this at all. Secondly, when we arrived at our room, it had actually turned out that they gave the […] room we requested to someone else because our room was supposed to have a microwave and other things that weren't in our room. Then we had to switch rooms again because the room they gave us had a broken television. We asked them if we could have our original room, or at least a room with the stuff that we originally ordered, and they said that it would be an extra $10 dollars a night. The only good thing I can say about this hotel, is that the pool looked really nice. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Herd of Elephants over head!"
We stayed in the Suze suite, which was great for us and our daughter, but unfortunately we were on the ground level and the family overhead sounded like they were stomping every time they walked. This stomping woke us up at 3:00 am, who knows what they were doing then!! Don't stay here unless it's on the second floor! The noise was very annoying!!Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

Palin no fan of 'pathetic' #nerdprom
Palin slams White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on social media
Conan O'Brien and President Barack Obama may have had the political crowd in high spirits at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, but in Alaska, Sarah Palin wasn't laughing.
"Yuk it up media and pols," the former Alaska governor wrote on her Facebook page. "While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke."
On Twitter she was even more barbed.
"That #WHCA was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our a**es off while these DC a**clowns throw themselves a #nerdprom," she wrote, but without the stars.
While this year's dinner may have rubbed Palin the wrong way, she's shown a little more love for the annual event in the past. In 2011, she attended an afterparty sponsored by Vanity Fair and Bloomberg News, held at the home of the French ambassador in Washington.
But she's never attended the event, and has long mocked what she calls the "lamestream media" for an overly cozy relationship with the political establishment.

Jesse Ed Davis? Is that who that is?
well, by process of ilimination. There's this one picture available on stage with the Stones. But there was also talk of Dave Mason being a guest in LA.
Jesse was part of the original Taj Mahal group (as seen in the Rock 'n' Roll Circus). He later became an in demand session player.
Also with Jackson Browne?

all i am getting at is that most fans on this board have always said Brussels was better than LA '75...and now people are changing their minds based on a new bootleg release...which I think it the sign of the times..i.e. people desperate for the vaults.
No disrespect, but I think you missed my points
'Cos I think the fact that "most people" have always preferred Brussels over in LA is simply because a lot more people have heard Brussels; and also because Brussels has always been available in perfect quality. Most people are interested in the so called "soundboard recordings", and don't care for "audience recordings". Only SOME of us do.
IOW; if we have had LA 1975 in the same quality as of now, ever since 1975 (like Brussels have); then maybe LA would have been preferred by "the common guy" over Brussels, for 37 years. So your point about "them playing better in 1973" really don't hold up, as there's so many other factors mattering in what makes the band sound good together - and also; the material they have, and the mood they create.
i dont agree with your comments about Brussels.
People liked Brussels because it is amazing, and a great show.
Every band member is at their peak.
Now if you listen more closely to LA 1975 there's plenty of sloppiness in the band's playing...you obviously like that type of performance from the band ?
The mix is very good (better than Brussels)..and perhaps people are simply amazed at finally getting this show mixed so well that they are over-reacting to the performance (see my first post).
Keith was not at his peak in 1973, he became a noticable better guitar player during the 70s, and LA Friday proves that easily.
Keith is also a very important factor to how a Stones show sounds.
Well, I guess everyone here agrees wholeheartedly with that last sentence of DP.
I also think everyone agrees with Eleanor that LA Friday has a much better mix and sound quality than Brussels, which is an important factor to how a Stones show sounds as well.
That said, I also think everyone is entitled to his/her own preference and enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with that, so no need to convince others or to 'prove' someone is right or wrong. That leaves the question why someone has his/her preference. Here's my extremely humble opinion.
It won't surprise anyone that I prefer Brussels to LA and LA to Hampton, just like I preferred Rotterdam 73 to The Hague 76 and The Hague 76 to Rotterdam 82.
Three different bands, Bill and Charlie being the constant factor. As for Jagger, his singing on LA is indeed artificial and campy, but it doesn't bother me that much. On Hampton his barking is more annoying to me, but I can live with it.
Then Keith. In 73 he was, just like in 72, in his comfort zone, being responsible for the riffs. He confirmed that in the LA Friday-promo interview.
So in 73 he also did what he was best at: keeping the rhythm going, providing those great riffs and adding, though in a lesser degree, to the melody as well. Meanwhile his interplay with Taylor was obvious, interesting and at times exciting (listen to the counterpoint on GS and the interplay on MR).
On LA Keith's range is broader, but also weaker, because he's playing less controlled and focused, having left his comfort zone. But it's not a main obstacle.
The biggest difference is Ronnie. He's really trying to fill Taylor's shoes adequately, soloing even more than Taylor ever did (for example on YCAGWYW and JJF), but he's got no clue. His solos are clueless and clumsy, missing head and tail. That doesn't make them surprising, but rather annoying and boring. They don't add anything special to the songs. That has to do with creativity and musicality and 'feeling the song'. He sounds disconnected and when you would listen to his solos separately, it would not be easy for non-trained ears to tell to which song they belong. Some people call that raunchy, sloppy and very rock & roll. I call it lack of musicianship in that department. Some people dismiss Taylor because of his "endless noodling". I don't agree with the 'endless noodling' or 'guitar god' myth at all, but even if he did and was, he always stayed connected with the song, sometimes even producing the essence of it. At least his solos were always consistent and creative. They tell us a story where Ronnie seems to mix up many words without saying anything coherent. Notice how many times Ronnie produces repeated squeaking sounds, as if he's stuttering, unable to say anything meaningful but desperately trying to. That adds to feelings of sympathy for him, but not to the musical quality.
On Hampton Keith's and Ronnie's roles are different. Ronnie isn't the main lead guitarist anymore, the so called weaving has entered the scene, Keith and Ronnie "trading licks back and forth". But in reality Keith is playing the main role and the showing, smoking and posing on stage increase. Besides one can hear the stadium rock in its full glory, which results in more distance and less intimacy.
Bollocks, imo, on songs like Happy and Tumbling Dice Ronnie creates a melody that suits the songs a lot better than Taylor did.
Of course, there are solos that Taylor did way better than Ronnie, but that goes the other way, too. + the fact that there are lots more songs on LA than that of Brussels AND the fact that Ronnie was the new kid.
You can´t blame him for soloing a lot either, since obviously that was what Mick and Keith wanted him to do.
GS on LA Friday is the best version I´ve heard, included Taylor versions.
We have the GHS-tracks on LA as well + the IORR-tracks. That´s why I like this show the most. I don´t miss Dancing With Mr. D, never did. Fingerprint File is a masterpeice - wow! Love it
PS: Why are you so determined to spoil the fun for the thousands of fans that enjoy this release?
I think you miss to mention songs like GS, ADTL, the best version ever of Heartbreaker, ditto of SFTD, the warhorses (which are all brilliant here, maybe with HTW as the exception) and GOOMC - all excellent versions, imo.
Compulsory listens : the 1st Baton Rouge, the 1st Boston, Cleveland, the 1st NYC, and Jacksonville come to mind. Then you're set to assess the July 13 gig.
Compulsory listens : the 1st Baton Rouge, the 1st Boston, Cleveland, the 1st NYC, and Jacksonville come to mind. Then you're set to assess the July 13 gig.
Er, why would you want to listen to these shows? Baton Rouge is quite bad, Cleveland not the best sound quality, and MSG 1st might be the worst show of the tour due to the sound system problems....

Since 2009, the British Museum has educated youngsters in Bloomsbury via its Samsung Digital Discovery Centre (SDDC). It's free, and is the most extensive on-site digital learning programme of any UK museum.
I went along to the British Museum last week to see the launch of a new image recognition and augmented reality (AR) app, A Gift for Athena, helping kids to engage with the museum's Parthenon gallery.
The app, built by Gamar, is simple in premise and use, but also a lot of fun, showing that augmented reality can succeed when applied in the right manner.
In this post I'll discuss why the app works, and what's needed to succeed with AR.

You might think that headline is hyperbole. It isn't.
The new FIFA app, created by Monitise Create, is reviewed very favourably in the app store, with users unanimous in giving the app five stars.
I must say, I quite agree. The UX is basically flawless, and information is presented elegantly and simply. The imagery, the formatting, the type, the transitions, the icons; it's all pretty.
It compares very favourably with (is better than) other 'match centre' apps such as Sky Sports, but offers lots of other content, too, notably news, World Cup content, FIFA rankings and interactive games.
With the app tipped to become the most popular sports app download, I thought I'd put it through its paces. Take a look at my review of one of the most beautifully designed apps I've used in ages.

21% of the global population will be using mobile apps by the end of the year. Your company may need an app too, but should you build your app for iPad, iPhone or Android?
One and a half billion people will be using mobile apps by the end of the 2013, equivalent to 21% of the global population.
Of course, mobile-optimised websites are clearly vital to communicate with your audience, with the balance now tipping in favour of responsive website design, but there's still a strong case to be made for providing one or more apps as well.
But assuming you're ready to commit, should you go for an iPad, iPhone or Android app?

This week sees the unveiling of HMV's completely overhauled responsive website, HMV.com.
This follows the recent desktop and app launch of HMV Digital, a music download service which aims to rival iTunes.
It's easy to dwell on HMV's troubled recent past: the economic downturn, the rise of the internet, eventual liquidation. But let's not do that here, after all HMV is very much looking towards the future.
Let's take a look at its new responsive website in detail.

Digital is becoming ever more important for the comic industry.
Although the industry is guarded when it comes to revealing figures, Comixology (which release digital comics from the major publishers and many independents) has cited reaching 50m downloads in January 2012 and doubling that figure to 100m only 10 months later in October.
Physical comic book sales have been pushing against the tide of declining sales in other print media for some time now, with 2012 showing a 15% increase in sales year on year, and 2013 showing a similar trend.
It's clear the success of digital comics is increasing rapidly and concurrently with print, and it's Marvel, who in the last few years has shown incredible skill in rebuilding its own brand, which is offering a lot more in terms of technology and service in its range of apps for mobiles and tablets.

There's no denying that the tablet is more than a passing fad.
With tablet shipments expected to grow 58.7% in 2013, rising from 144.5m to reach 229.3m, and with 34% of the US population currently owning a tablet, it's important for brands to approach the tablet design process in an entirely unique and different way than the smartphone and desktop.
Rather than being an extension of these channels, there's a huge opportunity to turn the tablet into a unique channel for engagement, capable of delivering strong conversion and incremental revenue.

H&M first launched its mobile app way back in 2010, however up until January this year you couldn't actually use it to make a purchase.
Most major retail apps are transactional these days so it's surprising that H&M has taken this long to make the upgrade, particularly as research shows that a majority of consumers expect to be able to make purchases using retail apps.
Now it just so happens that I'm on the look out for new some jeans, so I thought it was the perfect chance to see how easy it is to buy something using H&M's Android app...

B&Q recently launched its new Club loyalty app as it seeks to take advantage of that fact that up to two-thirds of its customers use their phones in-store.
The home and garden retailer already has more than 640,000 customers signed up to its loyalty scheme, so the idea is to give them an easier way to redeem offers and also attract new users.
Rather than rewarding purchases with loyalty points, the B&Q Club app gives customers a reason to go in-store by offering exclusive discounts on various products.

In the early days of m-commerce it was often asked whether brands should opt for a mobile app or a mobile website.
I think most marketers now accept that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, and the decision should be made based on the business needs and aims of individual companies.
However a new report from Compuware suggests that consumer preference is strongly in favour of apps (85%) ahead of mobile sites.
The most common reason for this is that apps are seen to be more convenient (55%), faster (48%) and easier to browse (40%).

Baseball is one of the more enjoyable sports for me to cover just because of the warm weather and atmosphere at the games. Outside of work, I love spending summer afternoons and evenings in Memphis watching the Redbirds or curling up at home watching my lovable losers, the Cubs.
It's hard to feel like you're really working when you have the chance to layout and watch games all summer, and over the last two years, I've come to appreciate the BNA Bank Cotton States League that plays here in town.

mt~ Cattywampus?!!! That's a new one for me, but I know what you mean!! I'm pretty good with my crazy, extra sharp Cutco knives, but that mandoline really got me good. I think I really will stick with sharp knives and all the blades of the Cuisinart because at least I can unplug it and keep it from attacking me!
The spiralizer makes cool ribbons and juliennes, too, but it doesn't cut anything very thin. I'm thinking that thin is what I want for my body, not so much for my veggies (!!) because when I dehydrate, the thin things get a little too crisp.
But it's all in the experimentation anyway, so enjoy the ride no matter what you do.
Parsnips rock! They are a little sweet, a little nutty, and I don't know if they'll spiralize, but you can shred them like carrots. You cannot go wrong with parsnips.
Are you using all organic veggies? I'm trying to but it sure gets expensive up here in Connecticut. Is it the same for all of you? I'd think that in California, organic might be more plentiful but here, you have to practically mortgage your house to buy a grocery cart full. Still, I feel like I'd rather eat less quantity and better quality if I can. What do you think?

Red's Famous Lobster Roll
If you want to cook and pick your own lobster meat, plan on one 1 to 1 ½ pound hardshell lobster or two to three 1 to 1¼-pound softshell lobsters per roll. (Do not use frozen lobster meat; that is a sin.)
- 1 split-top hot dog bun, sides brushed with melted butter
- Plenty of fresh, cooked lobster meat, including two whole claws and a whole tail, deveined and split
- Drawn butter, optional
- Mayonnaise, preferably extra heavy, optional
1. Grill the hot dog bun until sides are toasted and golden. This takes just a few minutes.
2. Rip lobster meat into chunks and fill the middle of the roll. Put the whole claws at each side of the roll and put the split lobster tail on top.
3. Ogle your sandwich. Eat as is or drizzled with drawn butter or mayonnaise. Wish you had made two.

Rabbi Binyomin Ginsberg, Dean of Torah Academy in Minneapolis, is a creative and caring educator who is regularly consulted by Torah educators worldwide. In his new book, A Principal's Principles, Rabbi Ginsberg is the teacher, and we parents become the students. We recently discussed parenting issues with Rabbi Ginsberg. Here are some highlights of the interview:
ArtScroll: You have a national, even an international, view of today's children. What would you say are the greatest priorities of today's parents?
Rabbi Ginsberg: As molders of children we have an obligation to make an on-going effort to listen to the spoken and silent messages of our children. We have to make it possible for them to have a voice and to be heard. We have to be careful with their feelings. We have to think about how to make our schools happy places for them. There is so much that can be accomplished with a foundation of happiness and we need to make sure that our children are being raised in a happy setting.
AS: Not an easy job, nowadays.
RG: A wise person once said that parenting is the most difficult position there is and the one that we receive the least amount of training for. Being a parent is an awesome job and responsibility. It is also the greatest title one can have.
AS: What led you to write A Principal's Principles?
RG: The book began as a result of articles I wrote for my parent-body, in our weekly newsletter. The feedback I received from those articles was that I was brave to address issues head-on. Later I was invited to write a parenting and education column for Yated Neeman. While the book is not a simple compilation of the articles I wrote, they were the springboard for the book. When I learned that people were clipping my weekly articles into a scrapbook, I decided that writing a book might be a good idea.
As I wrote I stayed focused on the idea that this not be just another parenting book. It does not provide a list of dos and don'ts. Instead, it shares what I believe to be critical steps we must take to respond to the current needs of our children.
The focus of A Principal's Principles is to make the lives of our children better. Parents and teachers have the awesome responsibility to guard and protect the treasure Hashem has placed in their hands.
