Advertising and Public Relations
Buy! Buy!
The 1920s brought a boom in advertising as postwar consumerism and the cult of salesmanship coincided. Existing ad agencies expanded, and new agencies (Young 6c Rubicam, Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample, and Benton & Bowles) were founded. J. Walter Thompson's agency's billings went from $10.7 million in 1922 to $37.5 million in 1929. Albert Lasker, the head of Lord & Thomas, worked with George Washington Hill of the American Tobacco Company (Lucky Strike) to increase that company's earnings from $12 million in 1926 to $40 million in 1930.
Most advertising still appeared in print during the 1920s, and ad revenue promoted the growth of the mass-circulation magazines, called slicks because they were printed on paper that would reproduce quality ad art. Cigarette advertising produced a war among Lucky Strike, Camel, and Chesterfield. The untapped market was women; before the 1920s no respectable woman smoked in public. Lucky Strike urged women to "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet," and the young woman in the famous 1926 Chesterfield ad asked her male companion to "Blow some my way." It was an era of slogans and heretofore-unsuspected maladies: Woodbury Facial Soap "For the skin you love to touch"; Palmolive to "Keep that schoolgirl complexion"; Lifebuoy to prevent "B.O."; Listerine to cure halitosis because "Even Your...

Book Clubs
A Book a Month.
Mass-media and mass-marketing stimulated each other during the 1920s. The most successful publishing development was distribution through book clubs. At the start of the decade most Americans did not have access to bookstores. Many potential members of the emerging reading public did not know what to read or how to obtain books. The founding of the Book-of-the-Month Club (BOMC) by Robert K. Haas and Harry Scherman filled a well-defined need.
The monthly selections were chosen by a panel of judges—critic Henry Seidel Canby, columnist Heywood Broun, author Dorothy Canfield Fisher, man-of-letters Christopher Morley, and newspaper publisher William Allen White—who exercised complete freedom to pick any current book that was not priced more than three dollars. The first selection, distributed in April 1926, established the integrity of the judges: Sylvia Townsend Warner's Lolly Willowes: or, the Loving Huntsman, an English feminist fantasy that was hardly a crowd pleaser, went to 4,750 members. Subsequent 1926 selections positioned the BOMC as upper middlebrow. In certain social groups membership in the BOMC was regarded as a badge of intelligence; in others, of pretentiousness; in still others, of intellectual conformity.

Genre Magazines
Fan Mags.
Movie-fan and movie-romance magazines flourished during the 1920s. These were overlapping categories; both covered the Hollywood scene, but the content of the movie-romance publications stressed the marital adventures and romantic attachments of Hollywood, much of it invented. Among the many magazines in this field were Screenland (1920), Screen Play (1925), Screenbook (1928), Screen Stories (1929), and Screen Romances (1929).
Health faddist Bernarr Macfadden (1868-1955), who had become wealthy from his magazine Physical Culture, introduced what became known as the confession magazine with True Story in 1919. It reached a weekly circulation of more than 2 million. The success of this magazine was attributed in large part to its sexual frankness. However, True Story was not salacious or intended to arouse erotic feelings; Macfadden treated sexual problems in a quasi-clinical way. True Story inspired imitations, including Macfadden's True Romances (1923) and True Experiences (1925). Fawcett Publications had a success in 1922 with True Confessions, which began as a crime magazine but converted to women's romantic experiences. Having discovered that the word true sold copies, Macfadden introduced the first quasi-factual detective...

Little Magazines
Art vs. Money.
Because printing costs were still relatively low in America—and very cheap in Europe—many so-called "little magazines" sprang up during the 1920s. The term "little" did not refer to format but to circulation. The standard work, The Little Magazine: A History and a Bibliography, states that "A little magazine is a magazine designed to print artistic work which for reasons of commercial expediency is not acceptable to the money-minded periodicals or presses." Virtually all little magazines existed for the purpose of publishing avantgarde or experimental writing, often by their editors. A writer is not a writer unless he or she is published some-where, somehow. The little magazines provided a place for writers—typically younger writers—to break in. Ezra Pound was the most important figure involved with the little magazines as editor or adviser during the 1920s. Nearly all of these magazines had a short life span as the editors ran out of money or lost interest.
University Sponsorship.
The regional literary magazines resembled the little magazines in publishing material that could not find a commercial market, but the regionals were less experimental. Some of these were Frontier (University of Montana, 1920), The Southwest Review (Southern Methodist University, 1924; previously The Texas...

Stop the Presses!
During the 1920s, now-legendary writers worked on papers that aggressively competed for news and readers. The Front Page, the 1928 hit play by exreporters Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, established the public's idea of how newspapers operated. In 1920 there were 2,042 English-language dailies in 1,295 American cities; their total circulation was 27.8 million. Americans habitually read newspapers, which cost two cents; many households took morning and evening papers. Most cities had papers with different ownerships and editorial policies—usually, Republican and Democrat.
The most influential innovation in Jazz Age journalism was the successful introduction of tabloid or sensationalized journalism by Joseph Medill Patterson's The New York Daily News in 1919. It was followed by William Randolph Hearst's The New York Daily Mirror and Bernarr Macfadden's New York Evening Graphic in 1924. There were also nonsensational tabloids that used the tab size for the sake of convenience. The Graphic, the most blatantly vulgar of the tabloids, was inevitably known as the "Porno-Graphic." It ignored most national or world events to concentrate on the coverage of sex and crime—preferably sex crime. Two of the crimes that sold tabloid papers were the 1922 Hall-Mills case (an unsolved...

Silent newsreels.
The first newsreel produced in America was the Pathé Weekly, commencing in 1911. Audiences at first-run movie theaters soon came to expect silent newsreels, especially during World War I.
There were experimental sound newsreels with synchronized recordings, but the talkie newsreel was not practical until Theodore Case developed his soundon-film system. The Fox Film Corporation purchased Case's system in 1926 and established the Fox Movietone Corporation, The first Fox Movietone News release showed Charles Lindbergh's takeoff on 20 May 1927. Combined with footage of the Washington ceremonies welcoming Lindbergh, it was exhibited as a special feature five months before the premiere of The Jazz Singer. The first all-sound Movietone newsreel was shown at the New York Roxy Theatre on 28 October 1927; it included segments on Niagara Falls, "The Romance of the Iron Horse," the Army-Yale football game, and a rodeo. On 3 December Movietone News was released as a regular weekly feature; this newsreel covered the Vatican Choir at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the blowing of the Conowingo Bridge in Maryland, and the Army-Navy football game.
The great success of Movietone News compelled the other movie studios to produce competing...

Phonograph Records
Low Fidelity.
Sales of phonographs and records decreased during the early years of the 1920s after reaching a peak in 1920. The chief cause of the decline was the radio craze, but the poor sound quality of the recordings and the phonographs impeded the growth of the industry. The recordings were made by the acoustical or mechanical system, which did not use amplifiers or micro-phones. These records did not reproduce the overtones of the sound, and the players used a large horn to magnify the sound. The result was scratchy and failed to provide a realistic sound reproduction. Most phonographs had to be hand-cranked every three or four records. In 1925 the wind-up cabinet-model Victrolas were priced from $110 to $250.
The industry was stimulated by the development in 1925 of an electrical recording process by Western Electric Company, which also developed the all-electric Orthophonic phonograph with a loudspeaker. Victor, the largest record-phonograph manufacturer, was the first to bring out electrical recordings for the Orthophonic Victrola. Sales increased steadily until 65 million records were sold in 1929, almost half of which were from Victor.
Even at their best, records in the 1920s were fragile, short-lived, inconvenient, and relatively expensive. The...

New Houses.
Writers require publication, and publishers need books. The 1920s were a golden era for American writing and publishing. During the decade twenty influential trade publishing houses and seven university presses were launched. (An influential publisher is one that publishes significant authors and widely read books, good or bad; the longevity of the imprint is also a factor in its influence.) More enduring major American houses were founded during the 1920s than in any other decade.

Pulp Magazines
Black Mask.
The terms "pulp magazine" and "dime novel" have become interchangeable, but the two types of magazines had separate histories. The dime novels were paper-covered thin books that resembled magazines and usually had one long story. They became popular during the Civil War, and the contents were mostly adventure or western stories. Ned Buntline's Buffalo Bill stories were widely read in this format. Publisher Frank Munsey created the first pulp magazine, Argosy, in 1896: a 7" x 10" collection of fiction, printed on wood-pulp paper. Later, pulps featured lurid or exciting covers. Each issue included stories and novelettes; some pulps serialized novels. Most sold for ten cents or fifteen cents. Not all magazines printed on pulp paper were regarded as pulp magazines; the term also indicated content or editorial rationale. The authentic pulps were almost always restricted to a particular subject or setting (the West, sports, crime, aviation) and intended for an unsophisticated readership. Thus, The Smart Set, which H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan took over writing in 1914, was printed on pulp paper but was not classified as a pulp because it was a journal of opinion and literature with high editorial standards. However, Mencken and Nathan launched three pulps—Parisienne (1915), Saucy Stories (1916), and Black Mask (1920)—for the purpose...

Radio Programming
Battery Power.
Radios were first marketed for home use in 1920; 5 million were sold annually by 1929. The leading brands were RCA, Atwater Kent, and Crosley—all of which were battery-powered. The batteries were expensive, heavy, and inconvenient. RCA's Radiola was the most widely advertised make; the basic model with earphones, but not loudspeaker, sold for thirty-five dollars (batteries and antenna extra) in 1924. The price range for better models was $150 to $350.
Mostly Music.
Broadcasting began for the purpose of selling radio receivers. Before the later years of the 1920s, radio programming was unimaginative, offering mainly speeches, lectures, and music. The fact of radio was still so remarkable that people would listen to anything just for the sake of hearing sound coming out of the box—just as in 1947 people would watch anything on television, and still do. There were such radio-broadcast anomalies as bridge and basket-weaving lessons. In 1925 more than 70 percent of air time was given over to music, .1 percent to drama, .7 percent to news, and .2 percent to sports. Every week the stations broadcast speeches from meetings of civic and professional organizations, such as The Commercial Law League of America, The Foreign Policy Association, The Pennsylvania Society, The Woodrow Wilson Foundation, The Government Club, and The...

The Reader's Digest
Small Wonder.
The digest magazine was introduced in the 1920s; the term digest applied to both the format (5" X 7½) and the editorial policy. The first and only enduring digest magazine—which gave its name to the category—was The Readers Digest, founded by newlyweds DeWitt and Lila Wallace in 1922. DeWitt Wallace condensed articles published in other magazines to provide a monthly selection of "enduring value" cut for people who did not have time to read many magazines or long articles; there was no fiction. Because there were no ads, the price of twenty-five cents (three dollars per year) was high at a time when most magazines cost ten cents or fifteen cents. The no-ad policy held until 1955. The first issue, dated February 1922, went to 1,500 subscribers. By 1929 there were 216,000 subscribers, and The Reader's Digest, which ultimately reached a world circulation of more than 30 million, was on its way to becoming the most successful magazine in history. From the start The Reader's Digest had critics who charged that it was cheerfully lowbrow and oversimplified complex ideas. Nonetheless, the editorial formula worked: readership extended to 163 countries with editions in sixteen languages. The digest concept was widely imitated, but none of the imitations succeeded.

Headline Makers
Broun, Heywood 1888-1939
In an era of brilliant newspapermen, some of whom acquired national reputations and legendary status, Heywood Broun was probably the columnist most respected by his readers and colleagues. Broun was born into a well-off Brooklyn family and attended Harvard as a member of the class of 1910. The extracurricular pleasures of the poker table and the Red Sox and an inability to pass French prevented him from graduating. He went to work as a reporter—at that time the normal move for someone with literary ambition. In 1912 he began covering sports for the New York Tribune, and his articles were admired for their detail and vivid description. After going to France as a correspondent during World War I—where he criticized the American leadership—he returned to the Tribune as drama critic and literary editor.
"It Seems to Me."
Broun's national fame and influence commenced in 1921 with his daily column, "It Seems to Me," on the op-ed page of The New York World. As its title indicated, Broun's column had no controlling subject; he often wrote what were identified as "whimsy" pieces, such as "The Fifty-First Dragon," which has been widely reprinted. A large man who was described as looking "like an unmade bed," Broun was a member of the Algonquin Hotel Round Table group of...

Cerf, Bennett A. and Klopfer, Donald S. 1898-1971, 1902-1986
Extrovert Bennett Cerf and quiet Donald Klopfer built Random House into the best of the publishing houses founded during the 1920s. It became a commercially successful firm with a commitment to literature and a list of distinguished authors.
The Modern Library.
In 1925 twenty-seven-year-old Cerf, a Columbia University graduate, had the title of vice president at the publishing house of Boni & Liveright, having acquired that position by lending money to Horace Liveright. Always in need of money, Liveright offered to sell the Modern Library series to Cerf for $215,000. It was a splendid opportunity because the Modern Library, a list of more than one hundred clothbound ninety-five-cent reprints of classics, sold widely with little attention from Liveright. Cerf's family was prosperous, but he could not raise the purchase price alone. He asked his twenty-three-year-old friend Klopfer to put up half. Klopfer, who had attended Williams College, was working for his family's diamond-cutting business and had no publishing experience. They refurbished the drab Modern Library volumes, added new titles, and aggressively promoted the series. In 1931 they launched the Modern Library Giants series—six-hundred-page volumes that sold for one dollar. The first Giants title was Leo Tolstoy's War and...

Correll, Charles and Gosden, Freeman 1890-1972, 1899-1982
Blackface and Blackvoice.
Two white men, Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden, wrote and performed Amos 'n' Andy, a radio program about black characters that was the first radio serial and the most popular program of its time. Correll (born in Peoria, Illinois) and Gosden (born in Richmond, Virginia) had both been vaudeville song-and-chatter performers when they became friends in 1920, as the result of working for the Joe Bren Producing Company of Chicago, which produced minstrel shows. In 1925 they began singing and telling jokes in radio stations. Their breakthrough came in January 1926, when they began nightly ten-minute WGN broadcasts about Sam V Henry, two Southern black men who had moved to Chicago. Described as a "radio comic strip," Sam V Henry was the first radio program with a continuing story line; previously, every broadcast was expected to complete the narrative.
Amos 'n' Andy.
The program was a success from the start, and in 1928 WMAQ Chicago hired them away, but WGN retained rights to the Sam 'n' Henry characters. Correli and Gosden created Amos Jones and Andrew H. Brown, two residents of Harlem. Amos, performed by Gosden, was hard-working; Andy, performed by Correli, was lazy but likable. They were partners in the Fresh Air Taxi Company, so named...

Liveright, Horace 1886-1933
Jazz Age Publisher.
Horace Liveright was another of the flamboyant figures whose careers are inseparable from the 1920s. His style of success and his spectacular failure are emblematic of the decade. As head of Boni & Liveright he published an exciting list of books while hosting a perpetual party and spending himself into insolvency.
Boni & Liveright.
Liveright did not bother to complete high school. At sixteen he was working for a stock-brokerage office, and at eighteen he wrote the libretto and lyrics for an unproduced operetta. In 1917, after a series of unsuccessful business ventures, he was staked to a publishing partnership with Albert Boni by his wealthy father-in-law. Liveright had no publishing experience, but he had read widely and admired writers. The first Boni & Liveright project, the Modern Library, became the best-known American series of inexpensive classic reprints. Bound in so-called limp leather and priced at sixty cents, the first twelve volumes were Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, August Strindberg's Married, Rudyard Kipling's Soldiers Three, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, H. G. Wells's The War in the Air, Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, Anatole France's The Red Lily, Guy de Maupassant's Mile....

Lorimer, George Horace 1867-1937
The Great American Magazine.
During the 1920s The Saturday Evening Post was the most successful magazine in America, perhaps in the world. It reached a peak circulation of 3 million; for a nickel its readers bought two hundred pages with fiction and articles by the most popular and best-paid writers. The man responsible was George Horace Lorimer, a devout proponent of the gospel of business and a good judge of writing.
Success Story.
Lorimer lived the American success story. The son of a Baptist minister, he dropped out of Yale after one year at the urging of Philip D. Armour, head of the meatpacking firm, and rose to head of the Armour canning department. After his own grocery business failed, Lorimer became a reporter. In 1898 he was hired as literary editor of The Saturday Evening Post, published by Cyrus H. K. Curtis, owner of The Ladies' Home Journal. The Post was moribund, its chief asset a shaky claim to having been founded by Benjamin Franklin. Lorimer was assigned to edit the magazine while Curtis was recruiting an editor in chief. Lorimer did it so well that he was made editor in chief, a position he held for thirty-nine years. For more than twenty years Lorimer's Post had a significant influence in shaping American values and American taste through its...

Luce, Henry R. and Hadden, Briton 1898-1967, 1898-1929
New Departures.
Henry Luce and Briton Hadden invented the newsmagazine when they launched Time in 1923. Their magazine developed innovative approaches to news coverage, such as packaging the news in topical units; utilizing group journalism, by which an article resulted from the work of teams of researchers, reporters, writers, and editors; and replacing standard newspaper prose with a catchy narrative style.
School Days.
Luce was born in China to Presbyterian missionaries and retained a missionary zeal in his approach to publishing. At fifteen he came to America and attended the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. At Hotchkiss he encountered Briton Hadden, the Brooklyn-born offspring of a well-connected family. Luce edited the school literary magazine and was assistant managing editor of the newspaper; Hadden was managing editor of the paper, They went to Yale, where...

Mencken, H. L. 1880-1956
Great Debunker.
During the 1920s few Americans matched Henry L. Mencken's influence as a writer and as an independent thinker. He was the decade's great debunker, aiming ridicule at the cowardice and ignorance of what he called the "booboisee."
"The Baltimore
Anti-Christ." Mencken graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic School and became a reporter on the Baltimore Herald in 1899. He moved to the Baltimore Sun in 1906, and was associated with the Sunpapers as editor, correspondent, and columnist ("The Free Lance") for the rest of his working life. The force of Mencken's mind and the breadth of his learning enabled him to combine journalism with simultaneous careers as magazine editor, philologist, and literary-social critic. As editor of The Smart Set and The American Mercury, as well as a prolific contributor to other journals, Mencken had a strong influence on American iconoclasm during the 1920s. He denounced puritanism, censorship, fundamentalism, political corruption, and human folly, among other targets of opportunity. His powerful jeremiads earned him...

Paley, William S. 1901-1990
Conflicting Assessments.
William S. Paley, the head of the Columbia Broadcasting System, has been classified as a genius with an unerring instinct for entertainment and as a megalomaniac motivated by greed. When he died, Video Age International published conflicting assessments: "No one can deny that Paley was a programming genius, and that he was one of the architects of modern society"; and "He had a fine feel for creating a mix of popular and special interest programming, but he took credit for a great many achievements that distinctly belong to others." Undeniably, under his autocratic leadership the Columbia Broadcasting System rewrote the nation's definition of entertainment and news.
Family Fortune.
William Paley was born in Chicago on 28 September 1901, the son of Samuel and Goldie Drew Paley, Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. Making money was in Paley's blood: his father had been apprenticed to a cigar maker while in his teens; within a decade he owned a cigar factory and had made a fortune. His most popular brand was La Palina.

Patterson, Joseph Medill 1879-1946
Newspaper Family.
Joseph Patterson published the first and most successful tabloid newspaper in America. A man of eccentricities and contradictions who acted on impulse, he might have been classified as unbalanced—except that he was a journalist with a sure sense of what interested his readers. Patterson was born into a wealthy and powerful newspaper family. His maternal grandfather was Joseph Medill, publisher and editor of the Chicago Tribune, and his father became editor of that paper. Patterson's sister, Eleanor (Cissy), later became publisher of the Washington Times-Herald. Although he dressed carelessly and rejected the requirements of his social position, he was educated at the upper-class Groton School in Massachusetts and graduated from Yale in 1901. All of his life he felt comfortable with the proletariat, living with bums in Chicago's First Ward and New York's Bowery. Patterson was certain that he understood working-class people, and he endeavored to improve their living conditions. Failing that, he wanted to provide them with a newspaper.
Friend of the Proletariat.
After Yale, Patterson joined the Tribune as a reporter, but his proletarian concerns directed him to reform politics—often in opposition to the policies of the Tribune. Patterson left the...

Perkins, Maxwell E. 1884-1947
Editor of Geniuses.
Maxwell Perkins was the most renowned editor to practice his craft at an American publishing house. It has been remarked that his career was based on a quest for an American Tolstoy, whose War and Peace he regarded as the supreme work of fiction. Perkins's reputation is permanently linked with those of three geniuses he published at Scribners: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe. The 1920s were a golden decade for American literature; brilliant writers and great publishers reinforced each other. Boni & Liveright had a stimulating list of titles; but no house matched the distinction of Charles Scribner's Sons, which entered the 1920s as a conservative firm and became the imprint of exciting young fiction writers.
Allegiance to Talent.
Though raised in New Jersey, Maxwell Perkins came from New England stock and was Harvard-educated. His Yankee reserve and integrity characterized his relationships with his authors, who depended on him for more than editorial guidance. After working as a reporter on The New York Times, Perkins became advertising manager at Charles Scribner's Sons in 1910 and moved to the editorial department in 1914. Because he had the right background and family connections, he was able to persuade his older colleagues to...

Ross, Harold W. 1892-1951
Ross of The New Yorker.
Harold Ross was a tramp reporter from Aspen, Colorado, who conceived and ran a cosmopolitan magazine that developed some of the best American writers for twenty-five years. Ross of The New Yorker became the subject of many anecdotes about his eccentricities and alleged lack of sophistication ("Is Moby Dick the Man or the whale?"), yet he was an editorial genius who permanently influenced the rationale of American magazine publishing and developed new literary forms.
Shaky Start.
Ross left high school to work as a reporter at a string of newspapers. In 1918 he became de facto editor in chief of The Stars and Stripes, the American expeditionary force newspaper published in Paris, with the permanent rank of private. He had discovered his genius: the ability to run a periodical in accordance with his high editorial standards. After the war he worked for magazines in New York while planning his own magazine. His wife, Jane Grant, whom he married in 1920, encourged the plan, and they pooled their earnings toward starting his magazine. Their $25,000 was matched by the same amount from Raoul Fleischmann, a member of a wealthy family who had no literary or journalistic background. Ross wrote the prospectus that included the famous statement: "The New Yorker will be...

Sarnoff, David 1891-1971
Radio and Television Leader.
David Sarnoff, an immigrant boy with a grammar-school education, became the most powerful figure in the communications and media industries. As president of the Radio Corporation of America he created the National Broadcasting Company radio network and developed television.
Pluck and Luck.
Sarnoff was born in Russia and arrived in America at ten. When he was fifteen he left school to support his family after the death of his father. His first job was as messenger boy for the Commercial Cable Company, and in 1906 he moved to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America as a $5.50-per-week office boy. Sarnoff taught himself telegraphy and was encouraged by Guglielmo Marconi. On the night of 14 April 1912 he was managing the experimental radio station on the roof of the Wanamaker Department store in New York when the Titanic hit an iceberg. He remained at his equipment for seventy-two hours.

Winchell, Walter 1897-1972
The claim that Walter Winchell created the modern gossip column has been disputed, but he was indisputably the most widely known and widely read columnist in American journalism. By various estimates the readers of his column and the listeners to his radio broadcasts totaled between 25 million and 50 million at the peak of his fame.
Show Biz.
Raised in poverty in Manhattan, Winchell left school in the sixth grade to become a vaudeville singer. He was a song-and-dance man in second-rate vaudeville circuits in 1919 when he began posting pages of gossip and news backstage. In 1922 he began writing the "Stage Whispers" news column for The Vaudeville News. This trade paper had a limited circulation, but it provided him connections with people who assisted his rise. His two early mentors were speakeasy hostess Texas Guinan and Mark Hellinger. A columnist and reporter on The Daily News, Hellinger is regarded as the first Broadway columnist; but sentimental vignettes—not gossip—were his stock in trade.
"On Broadway."
In 1924 Winchell moved to the Evening Graphic, a sensational tabloid owned by health faddist Bernarr Macfadden. The Graphic featured crime and scandal articles. Winchell's column, "Your Broadway and Mine,"...

I enjoyed my stay and would certainly come back. The room cleaning was lacking a little, but nothing major--just some dust on the windows and bedside tables. The "family-style" breakfasts were very pleasant and the cook was an ISU student--excellent work on his part! The Iowa House could cut down on the potpourri smell a little. It was a bit strong!

In the evening, there […] were treats set out for the guests. There wasn't a set time for breakfast as we've run into at other B & B's, so you could eat from 8 - 10am each morning.

Our weekend stay was wonderful. The bed & breakfast is in a residential neighborhood just a few blocks from campus providing a quiet, peaceful setting.

This inn-style hotel, beautifully maintained and furnished in the Arts & Crafts tradition, offers guests a warm and welcoming experience. My room's decor was tasteful and the bathroom was spacious and immaculate.

I recently stayed here for orientation for ISU and I fell in love with the place. Everything is nice including the staff, and pretty much everything! The room is very clean, perfect for two people, bathroom is very clean, bathtub has jets (hot tub), and they even give you a package of bath salt (if you're into that)! The hotel has a very hone-like atmosphere. […] Hostess is very nice, the cook is very polite and willing to work with you if you have special needs. The ONLY downside (and it's not even that bad, in fact I kind of like it) is that there is a little wait for your food, and you pretty much have to sit with strangers for breakfast.

"Comfy home away from home"
Close to the Iowa State campus, this was a cozy, clean, and friendly place to stay. The rooms are all very nicely designed, with lots of early 20th century oak style furnishings. I stayed in one of the few smaller (and less expensive) rooms - small enough that instead of a closet there were coathangers on a ... hatrack? some piece of oak. Wasn't a problem […] for me but it may have mattered to others. A good sized full breakfast is served (though not much variety if you stay more than a couple days) and coffee/tea and chexmix (well, a variation) are available all the time. A nice living room with enough couches/chairs for gathering was supplemented by a good sized game room (think pub style) available for use downstairs. A wonderful place for smallish family gatherings. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
The Iowa House was excellent with one exception - breakfast. Hope you are never in a hurry if you plan to eat breakfast there!! We suggest that it be continental style vs sit down style. People mingled and stayed at tables & then others could not sit down (limit of about 12 people at tables) I waited for 20 minutes for breakfast & was told "it's on […] it's way" twice. Had to leave since we had to be somewhere. They charge $10 per person each day for breakfast, so I should have just gone to Perkins. . Less wait and potentially lower price.

From the free breakfast to the impeccably cleaned new rooms and exceedingly great hospitality off argement, I'm convinced that you need look no further if registering for a stay to Iowa State University.

My stay was wonderful. The trip took longer than expected and the check in attendant stayed past her shift to make sure I got there. There was a dessert bar.

Anyone looking for a wonderful experience while in Ames should stay here. We will definitely be returning. And don't let the bed and breakfast aspect make you feel uncomfortable.

This hostel is very pleasantly located outside the hustle, bustle and unappealing commercialism of Lijiang's old town. This place has a lovely, distinctive facade and atmosphere, whilst the staff are quite friendly, despite limited English. Unfortunately, the lock for the Western toilet in the men's bathroom was broken and, despite asking several times, it was not repaired. The dorm rooms are adequate, but the hostel's greatest appeal definitely lies in its decor and charm.

Sea Kayaking
Maine's 5,500 miles of geographically diverse coastline provides world-class opportunities for sea kayaking adventures – from the calm to the challenging – amid the rich maritime history, culture and unique natural beauty of our ocean shores.
Paddle the seas of Downeast Maine from Acadia east to the Bold Coast and enjoy scenes of rugged spruce and fir-studded headlands and steep cliffs of pink granite.
Explore the long, sheltered peninsulas and secluded islands of the mid-coast, from Penobscot Bay to Casco Bay, where many inland rivers flow to meet the sea. Enjoy the waters and waves along the sandy beaches of the southern coast from Portland to Kittery.
The 375-mile Maine Island Trail - America's first water trail designed to protect the fragile coastal environment and provide an organized recreational route for sea kayakers – winds through the best of the Maine coast, with 180 designated islands and campsites, and makes a pleasant destination for a few hours, a day or a week or more.
Every ocean kayaking adventure offers the chance to breathe in the invigorating salty sea air and observe the striking scenes of nature all around you, as you paddle your kayak through the waves under your own physical power, one rhythmic stroke at a time. Your companions may include more than just your paddling partners; squawking gulls are ubiquitous, and seals, porpoises, ducks, ospreys and eagles are common sights.
Land your kayak on a remote island ledge or beach, have a hearty lunch, enjoy a swim, go beachcombing, or take a hike through the fragrant woods. Paddle into a working harbor, land your boat, and take in the sights and sounds of fishing boats plying the waters to and fro as you enjoy a dinner of fresh cooked lobster, corn-on-the-cob and chowder in a dockside restaurant.
Numerous outfitters provide complete sea kayak equipment rental packages, as well as instruction for paddlers from beginner to intermediate. Expertly guided tours range from a few hours to half and full day excursions to multi-day trips that include meals, instruction and camping on offshore islands. You can even arrange to stay at friendly and comfortable inns with meals, warm beds, and hot showers.

The George Zimmerman investigation was hijacked "in a number of ways" by outside forces, said the former police chief of Sanford, Florida.
Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, told CNN's George Howell in an exclusive interview that he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public rather than as a matter of justice.
"It was (relayed) to me that they just wanted an arrest. They didn't care if it got dismissed later," he said. "You don't do that."
When Sanford police arrived on the scene on February 26, 2012, after Zimmerman fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, they conducted a "sound" investigation, and the evidence provided no probable cause to arrest Zimmerman at the scene, he said.
It had nothing to do with Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law, he said; from an investigative standpoint, it was purely a matter of self-defense.
Zimmerman told police he killed Martin after the teen attacked him. While the evidence at the time corroborated that claim, the ex-chief said, Lee's lead investigator made a recommendation that Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter.
It was a matter of protocol, Lee said. Arresting Zimmerman based on the evidence at hand would have been a violation of Zimmerman's Fourth Amendment rights, he said. Thus, the Sanford police presented a "capias request" to the state's attorney, asking that the prosecutor determine whether it was a "justifiable homicide," issue a warrant for arrest or present the case to a grand jury.
"The police department needed to do a job, and there was some influence -- outside influence and inside influence -- that forced a change in the course of the normal criminal justice process," Lee said. "With all the influence and the protests and petitions for an arrest, you still have to uphold you oath."
"That investigation was taken away from us. We weren't able to complete it," he said.
One example involved the 911 tapes, in which neighbors implored dispatchers to send police as a voice in the background screamed for help.
The Sanford police intended to release the tapes once the probe was over, Lee said, because you can't publicize evidence amid an investigation.
Instead, the mayor told him on March 16 the tapes had been released to Martin's family and the public. The family was asked to help identify voices, Lee said, but if police were in charge of the investigation, they wouldn't have presented evidence to a group.
"It should be done individually so there's no influence on the other people in the room," he said. "Then, there's no questions that can be brought up about how (an identification) was obtained or whether it was influenced."
Releasing the evidence to the public was problematic, as well, because it created the potential for someone to concoct a "story about what they observed when they really didn't observe it," he said.
Martin family attorney Jasmine Rand said that she doesn't believe that playing the tapes to a room full of people "makes any difference to the outcome of the case."
"We have to remember that that was played for the family in a private room because they were hearing the last moments of their son's life as he cried for help," Rand told CNN's Erin Burnett on Wednesday night. "And I think Sybrina Fulton (Martin's mother) got up and walked out of that room. She didn't sit in there and talk to everybody, because she had a visceral reaction when she heard her son yell for help and she couldn't help him because she knew he was dead."
Lee was placed on paid leave March 22, 2012, after the Sanford City Commission expressed a lack of confidence in him. The same commission rejected his resignation in a 3-2 vote a month later, with dissenting commissioners questioning the fairness of Lee's losing his job.
Two months later, Lee was sacked. City Manager Norton Bonaparte said in a news release, "The police chief needs to have the trust and respect of the elected officials and the confidence of the entire community."
Lee believes lack of confidence did play a role in his dismissal, he told CNN, but he also believes Bonaparte faced political pressure and terminated him "without cause," which was permitted under his employment contract.
"I upheld my oath," Lee said. "I'm happy that at the end of the day I can walk away with my integrity."
Rand, the Martin family attorney, told CNN that Lee lost his job because he "failed to conduct a fair and impartial investigation."
"I personally thank God that he doesn't have the ability to fulfill his vision to uphold an arcane practice that has no place in our legal system," Rand said.
Asked whether he would do things differently given the opportunity, Lee, a 30-year veteran of law enforcement, said there always are things he could change in hindsight, but he stands by the investigation.
At every turn in the 40-minute interview with CNN's Howell, Lee doggedly defended his investigators, saying race never played a role in any decision and that his officers "conducted an unbiased review."
Investigators knew letting Zimmerman walk free for 46 days was an unpopular decision -- and they took abuse for it -- "but they performed professionally. That's the mark of a strong police department."

Moving Montana Backward
Rick Hill's understanding of economic policy and education funding appears to be outdated.
This week, Hill, who has been out of public policy discussions for most of the last decade, dusted off his vision for education funding–well, he dusted off Wyoming's vision anyway.
Actually, given the tax give-aways for corporations Hill is also proposing, Hill's plan looks more like a failed Wyoming proposal from Hill's era 20 years ago–cutting taxes for big corporations like Exxon Mobil. Hill has been out of it for a while, so perhaps he can be excused for not having the most current information. By the time Hill rolls out his next education idea–say banning pagers in schools–we'll be used to it.
Montana's tax on oil production used to be similar to Wyoming's until Montana's Oil Tax Holiday went into effect in the 1990s. A "tax holiday" means that that the first years production of a new well would go untaxed by the state.
Years back, Wyoming implemented a similar tax holiday on a two year trial basis. But after only one year the legislature realized the idea was a giant failure and rescinded the tax holiday immediately. They found it didn't create more production or more employment, but it did decrease state revenues alarmingly-including funding for education.
Hill used to blather about how we needed to be more like North Dakota, rather than Wyoming. So I guess Wyoming is the New North Dakota for the former 1990s Congressman.
GOP candidates used to repeat ad nauseum that North Dakota had fewer taxes and relations and therefore more development. Then Governor Brian Schweitzer called them out on their lies. Schweitzer said "that Republican candidates for governor, who he referred to as 'jokers,' are wrong to blame taxes and regulations," for differing oil development levels in Montana and North Dakota the AP reports.
There are more oil wells North Dakota because there is more oil there to drill. According to Montana Department of Commerce Energy Production and Development Division statistics, Montana's taxes related to oil and gas production are 40-50% lower than in North Dakota. Our state also has a faster permitting process than both North Dakota and Wyoming. Montana permits are out in 60 days on average. In Wyoming a permit takes ten months. It takes a year in North Dakota.
It's just not a good sign that Rick Hill–rather than coming up with current ideas to fit Montana in the 21st century–is focusing on obscuring the facts to make Montanans think we want to be more like Wyoming or North Dakota instead.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
First-half tries from Craig Gilroy, Jonathan Sexton, Richardt Strauss and Simon Zebo, followed by two from Tommy Bowe and another Sexton score after half-time, ended a run of five straight test defeats for Kidney's side, who finished third in the 2012 RBS Six Nations.
Although ahead 24-9 at the interval, the 53-year-old admitted an honest assessment of his side's indiscipline at the breakdown enabled younger heads to keep out the Pumas in an improved second period.
And despite conceding two late tries to Tomas Leonardi and Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe Kidney insisted the gloss would not be taken off a fantastic performance in their last autumn international.
"There are a lot of young guys and we keep saying they are a joy to work with and they got their rewards today," said Kidney.
"Things clicked for us and obviously the tries in the first half helped relax guys a little and the second half was going to be a more turgid affair but we managed to stick it out other than giving away the two tries in the last five minutes.
"We thought we had been keeping Argentina in it in the first half because in and around the breakdown they were disrupting us when we had the ball.
"And when they had the ball we were giving away penalties so we needed to put that right and we talked about getting our discipline right in the second half and we did that.
"Today we give our players credit for playing well and it wasn't the Pumas' day when you look at it but some days it works out and some days it doesn't so I am just delighted it worked out well."

MDs warn teens: Don't take the cinnamon challenge

A new report from doctors to be published Monday, April 22, 2013, advises against taking the challenge that involves daring someone to swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon in 60 seconds without water. The fad depicted in wildly popular YouTube videos has led to hospitalizations and a surge in calls to U.S. poison centers.

Don't take the cinnamon challenge: Doctors warn teens after surge in calls to poison centers
By Lindsey Tanner
Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Don't take the cinnamon challenge. That's the advice from doctors in a new report about a dangerous prank depicted in popular YouTube videos but which has led to hospitalizations and a surge in calls to U.S. poison centers.
The fad involves daring someone to swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon in 60 seconds without water. But the spice is caustic, and trying to gulp it down can cause choking, throat irritation, breathing trouble and even collapsed lungs, the report said.
Published online Monday in Pediatrics, the report said at least 30 teens nationwide needed medical attention after taking the challenge last year.
The number of poison control center calls about teens doing the prank "has increased dramatically," from 51 in 2011 to 222 last year, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.
"People with asthma or other respiratory conditions are at greater risk of having this result in shortness of breath and trouble breathing," according to an alert posted on the association's website.
Thousands of YouTube videos depict kids attempting the challenge, resulting in an "orange burst of dragon breath" spewing out of their mouths and sometimes hysterical laughter from friends watching the stunt, said report co-author Dr. Steven E. Lipshultz, a pediatrics professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Cinnamon is made from tree bark and contains cellulose fibers that don't easily break down. Animal research suggests that when cinnamon gets into the lungs, it can cause scarring, Lipshultz said.
Dr. Stephen Pont, a spokesman for the American Academy of Pediatrics and an Austin, Texas pediatrician, said the report is "a call to arms to parents and doctors to be aware of things like the cinnamon challenge" and to pay attention to what their kids are viewing online.
An Ypsilanti, Mich., teen who was hospitalized for a collapsed lung after trying the cinnamon challenge heartily supports the new advice and started her own website — http://nocinnamonchallenge.com — telling teens to "just say no" to the fad.
Dejah Reed, 16, said she took the challenge four times — the final time was in February last year with a friend who didn't want to try it alone.
"I was laughing very hard and I coughed it out and I inhaled it into my lungs," she said. "I couldn't breathe."
Her father, Fred Reed, said he arrived home soon after to find Dejah "a pale bluish color. It was very terrifying. I threw her over my shoulder" and drove to a nearby emergency room.
Dejah was hospitalized for four days and went home with an inhaler and said she still has to use it when she gets short of breath from running or talking too fast. Her dad said she'd never had asthma or breathing problems before.
Dejah said she'd read about the challenge on Facebook and other social networking sites and "thought it would be cool" to try.
Now she knows "it's not cool and it's dangerous."

Making a good impression at an interview starts the minute you enter the building.
Your interviewer is likely to judge you from the first moment they see you and your appearance and image will be the first reflection of who you are and what kind of employee you may be. You may think that making a fashion statement is a sign of creativity, but it's vital that you're not remembered for all the wrong reasons. Not only can it be off-putting, but outlandish or scruffy clothing can be distracting as well.
Here are some basic guidelines to consider when dressing for an interview, so that you don't end up dressing to un-impress.
