With this entry we provide you a brief history of the polo shirt. Though they rose to prominence in the early 1980's–with "preps" and ironically, golfers, polo shirts have been around for nearly 100 years, and don't seem to be losing any popularity even today. Learn more about the history of the polo shirt and perhaps you'll decide that you want to don one of these traditional tops next time you play golf, polo or perhaps for casual Friday at the office.
The Origins
In the 1800s and early 1900s, Tennis players wore cumbersome tennis whites that were much-despised by players as they did make it hard to move around the court. Rene Lacoste, Grand Slam tennis champion devised a shirt that would become the polo shirt. He first wore it at the 1926 US Open. The next year, he started wearing a small crocodile on the breast of the shirt–as he was often referred to as "The Crocodile." A few years later, he retired from the sport and begun manufacturing the shirt and promoting it to other athletes.
Becoming Polo
Oddly, a "polo shirt" used to refer to a different style of shirt altogether. This was a long-sleeved shirt that polo players often wore. However, over time polo players began wearing the "tennis" shirt and started calling it a polo shirt as well. By the 1950s, even tennis players used the moniker polo shirt to refer to the short sleeved collared shirt that they wore on the court. These shirts are also know as sports shirts as result of their use across all types of sports. Any short sleeve shirt with a collar and a 2 or 3 button placket (often more buttons for ladies styles) is a polo or sport shirt.
Ralph Lauren and a Surge in Popularity
In the 1970s, designer Ralph Lauren released a new fashion line he dubbed "Polo." This line included the well-known polo shirt design. This would prove to be his most notable line ever. The Polo Shirt gained popularity among fashion-conscious individuals, and with the rise of the preppy style in the early 1980's, it seemed everyone was wearing the polo. During the height of its popularity, and in many years since, dozens if not hundreds of designers have created their version of the shirt. But even today, you'll find the original, Lacoste, featuring a small crocodile logo.
As you can see, the polo shirt has been through a lot. Today, you have more options than ever before. Here at OutletShirts.com, we offer a number of different options for adults and youth alike.

Fallout from the revelation that the Royal Champions, a group of frequent cruisers who routinely post online comments about Royal Caribbean, was in fact organized by the cruise line has created a furor within the community of the popular website CruiseCritic.com.
According to an article on Tripso.com by Anita Dunham-Potter, CruiseCritic.com, a subsidiary of TripAdvisor (which is owned by Expedia) worked with Royal Caribbean to facilitate the creation of the group, despite TripAdvisor's policy to work diligently to delete self-serving posts from industry suppliers.

Pianist Lang Lang hits right note
At the conclusion of Goethe's Faust, his aging hero looks out on the world with a note of satisfaction. "I could almost wish this moment to last forever, it is so beautiful."
That is exactly how pianist Lang Lang played the slow movement of the Chopin E-minor piano concerto Sunday with the Phoenix Symphony. He lingered over it, stretching its already vague rhythmic drive down to a near halt, and stopping the audience's breath with it.

Lang Lang's Reach
Lang Lang, the hotshot Chinese pianist who's an international sensation, is giving back to the world. On Monday at New York's Town Hall, the rockstar classical musician announced the formation of a new foundation to help music education programs. He introduced three 8-year-olds who've already won scholarships of $2,400 apiece; in turn, they each sat down at the grand piano on stage and played like they were at the Van Cliburn competition. The audience was composed of 900 school children, some of whom may have never seen a piano before or heard one played live.

Lang Lang Piano Recital - World's Hottest Classical Pianist
Imagine a classical performer able to generate the excitement of Elvis or the Beatles, and you will be getting close to the buzz surrounding the young Chinese pianist Lang Lang. At 26, with his wild hair, secret taste for pop and rap, and an enormous natural charm, Lang Lang has the kind of presence that goes beyond the rock star model, all the way back to Franz Liszt, the 19th-century pianist who earned such wild adoration from his fans that women tore his gloves and handkerchiefs apart for souvenirs.

He came, he played, he conquered. Nine hundred schoolkids - the captive audience at Lang Lang's performance yesterday at Town Hall - slipped into silence, mesmerized by a giant screen above the keyboard showing his fingers at play.
The 26-year-old pianist - maybe you saw him on "Sesame Street" with Elmo, or the Grammys with Herbie Hancock, or the opening of the Beijing Olympics with, well, everyone - was there to announce his international music foundation and introduce the first three scholarship winners, ages 8 and 9.

As we approach the busy shopping season, Baptist Health Care is offering the following safety tips to shoppers who will be buying toys for children. Millions of toys are out there, and hundreds of new ones hit the stores each year.
Toys are supposed to be fun and are an important part of any child's development, but every year many children are treated in hospital emergency departments for toy-related injuries. Choking is a particular risk for children ages 3 or younger, because they tend to put objects in their mouths.
"It is important to be sure that all toys purchased for Christmas gifts are in the proper age range for the child who will receive the gift," said Richard Russo, M.D., urgent care physician at Baptist Medical Park-Nine Mile. "Every year thousands of injuries put a damper on the holidays because a child gets their hand on an inappropriate item or not accompanied by supervision or proper safety equipment."
Once you've bought safe toys, be sure that children know how to use them. The best way to teach children is by playing with them and teaching them how to have fun and be safe. The holiday season is a wonderful time to be shared with friends and family and to focus on children. With a little forethought and selective purchasing as to toys, everyone can have a safe and happy holiday.
If a minor injury does occur, Dr. Russo recommends you seek immediate help from an urgent care center that sees patients without an appointment such as Baptist Urgent Care on the corner of Nine Mile Road and University Parkway in Pensacola. To learn more, call 850.434.4080 or visit BaptistMedicalGroup.org for hours and directions. Please note that if the injury appears life threatening, you should immediately call 9-1-1.
Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when toy-shopping:

Talk to us about treatment options
Our interventional radiology team provides minimally-invasive treatments, performs procedures to manage pain and complications, performs biopsies, and alleviates a variety of symptoms that can occur during cancer treatment.
Interventional radiology can be used in the management of metastatic disease from cancers such as colon, rectal, breast, gallbladder, pancreas, lung, esophageal, gastric, melanoma, and sarcomas. In these cases, we can perform Y90 radioembolization and chemoembolization for liver metastases. We can also perform ablation for isolated metastases to the liver, lung, adrenal gland, bone, kidney, and other soft tissues.
Our priority is to treat you with the most effective, least invasive treatments available for your cancer type. Common interventional radiology procedures include:
Most procedures are done on an outpatient basis or during a short hospital stay.
In some cases, bile duct cancer becomes advanced and metastasizes (spreads) to the liver. Our Interventional Radiology Program offers advanced treatments and procedures which are liver-directed or tumor-directed, including the following:
TheraSphere: This innovative treatment uses tiny beads called microspheres to deliver radiation directly to tumors in the liver. Measuring one-third the diameter of a human hair, the tiny microspheres are embedded with a radioactive element to help kill cancer cells.
The radiation therapy is delivered to a tumor through a catheter a physician guides into the hepatic artery, the liver's main blood vessel. Once in place, the microspheres are inserted into the catheter, where they can enter the smaller blood vessels supplying the liver tumor and block the flow of blood. Then, the microspheres emit radiation to destroy cancer cells in the tumor, while sparing healthy liver tissue.
Chemoembolization: With this treatment, chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to a liver tumor. This delivery method minimizes side effects, like nausea and vomiting, and maximizes the cancer-killing properties of the drugs.
During the procedure, chemotherapy is injected through a catheter directly into a liver tumor using image guidance. The chemotherapy drugs are mixed with microspheres, which block the flow of blood to the tumor. Without a blood supply, the tumor no longer has the oxygen and nutrients it needs to grow.
Chemoembolization allows high doses of chemotherapy drugs to be targeted directly to the cancerous portion of the liver for a longer period of time, without exposing the entire body to the effect of the drugs.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): RFA has become a major treatment method for small tumors. This technique may offer faster, more targeted cancer treatment with fewer side effects and shorter hospital stays compared with standard therapies.
During the procedure, a thin, needle-like probe is inserted through the skin and into the tumor, guiding it into place with ultrasound or CT scans. Electrical energy is then passed through the tip of the probe, which heats and "melts away" cancerous tumors. RFA carries the lowest risk compared to other cancer cell ablation techniques.

Plugging in a five string electric bass invites energy into a room that will remind you just how low you can go. The extended range, while only one added string, offers an original tone that you can easily incorporate into your band's signature sound. It goes without saying that you'll stand out from the sea of four stringed bassists when you're playing one of these instruments. The modern five stringed bass is a prime example of how an artist can not only shape music, but the instruments themselves. Fender guitars, wanting to create a new niche, commissioned the first five stringed bass back in the mid-sixties and the rest is history. This new arrangement shaped a new age of music that echoed through to funk, metal and even gospel. Everyone was after this rich and hearty tone. Giving the gift of a higher register allowed musicians to experiment with incorporating more eclectic and unique bass lines into musical compositions. The extra chords and higher melodies that were now able to be used blended beautifully with guitar riffs and stand-out solos like never before. You can work smarter, not harder, when experimenting with a five string. The extra note gives you the leeway to create a new arrangement in a jam with little effort. Walking the bass line can sound heavy or light, depending on the genre. Prog rockers can weave a full strum or pop and tap into a particularly complicated guitar solo, while the funk artist can form a truly unique bass line that gets the crowd moving. Choosing hardwood, softwood or mix wood for a six string is all a matter of preference. Hardwoods give the bassist a crisp, hard sound that lends itself to plucking and slapping. The pop is undeniable when you tinker with a mahogany or hard maple body. Softwood ash or alder offer that smooth and mellow texture you might find in a slowed down R&B number. Blended woods can give you the best of both worlds if you are looking to experiment in a range of musical genres. The possibilities are truly endless. The sturdier the neck, the longer life you and your six string will have together. After all, extra strings equal extra pressure. Thankfully with modern technology, most five strings are equipped with double truss rods and a range of bolts meant to allow you to really rock out. These metal components, surrounded by a sturdy hardwood construction, allow you to slide up and down the fret board as fast or as slow as you need. When you tout yourself as a master of the five string bass, your services are going to be sought out. This instrument is not for the faint of heart. It brings the beat, the bass and the deep tones that can truly make or break a good song or jam. Adding rich bass lines is an ideal way to tie a song together making it truly memorable for the listener.

Chris spends his spare time playing XBOX360 with his wife and kids, fly fishing, camping, hiking, and searching for the best chocolate cake on planet earth.
To paraphrase a statement by Arthur C. Clarke "the way to find the limits of what is possible is to push in to the realm of the impossible." In the world of networks there are things that have formerly been impossible but are now in the realm of reality. Streaming HD video content delivery on an internetwork. That's a big deal! What would we do without TV. Composite IP network protocol that natively understands both IPV4 and IPV6. Think of the possibilities! While both of these advances are spectacular if we take the next step we get to something truly amazing! Secure Direct Intra-network access using internal network credentials (held in Active Directory) from anywhere with an internet connection. You read that correctly. That means secure connectivity to your internal corporate network even if your connecting from Starbucks. I know what you're thinking. How?
We stood on the shoulders of giants and took the next step.
IPV6 from the composite IP protocol provides the base functionality. Then we add the functionality of Active Directory, Network Access Protection and a Direct Access server. Bingo. The nirvana of network access. You will notice that at no time during that description did I mention the 3 letter acronym VPN. I didn't mention it because we don't use it. VPN offered a connection that had to be turned on and validated and then disconnected when we were finished using it. That is just not really effective. Especially in light of the current environment in which our portable machines operate. The last thing we want is to have a mode of operations where the security policies of our network don't apply.
One of the best things about Direct Access is that the connection is always on. That means that the security policies (GPO's) of the network apply to the machine all the time. We can provide a degree of protection and control to our portable machines and users that has hitherto been "Impossible." If you haven't tried Direct Access its time to pull out the white papers and step by step guides and take this technology out for a spin. Take my word for it, You will love it!
Here's a great intro video to get you started. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd572177.aspx

World record paper airplane throw
Sure there's a world record for everything these days but did you know that there is a world record distance for a paper airplane flight? There is and it is 207 feet and 4 inches set by Stephen Kreiger in 2003. That record won't last long though as Joe Ayoob just broke it by 19 feet, 6 inches by throwing a paper airplane 226 feet, 10 inches at McClellan AFB.
Impressed? You should be, you try to make a paper airplane that can even go a tenth of that distance and you'll see how difficult a task this really is.
The record attempt needs to be verified by Guinness but that is just a matter of time. Check out Joe, the paper airplane guy, here with his soon to be world record toss:

On the weekend of the 13th and 14th of August 2010 the second Pattaya International Fireworks Festival was held on Pattaya Beach. This year's wireworks display is reputed to be the largest ever seen in Thailand.
Pattaya was very busy over the weekend as many people travelled to the city for the display. On both nights Beach Road was closed to allow many pedestrians to pack the shoreline to watch the display. The final night was opened with an extravagant display in honour of the Queen's birthday a couple of days earlier.
This video starts off by showing the crowd that gathered for the display before showing some of fireworks display.

values more than $1,000 says AMC news. The stroller is just the beginning of
this baby's luxuries.
It might be fun to marry into royalty, but I wouldn't want
to be born into it, way too much pressure and responsibility. Literally from
first breath this kid will have cameras snapping, tabloids rolling and
entourage on his heels. William and Kate seem like a normal, cute couple,
minus the whole palace, paparazzi, royalty thing, so maybe their parenting
style will be humble as well, we shall see.

3.5" Speakers Information |
3.5 Car Speakers Upgrading your car speakers is the best and most affordable way to improve your sound system. An after-market set of speakers is better able to handle a wider range of frequencies, giving the lower notes greater depth and making the higher notes sound more defined. After-market car speakers are built with materials that are durable and temperature resistant. 3.5 inch speakers are typically installed on the dash, below the front windshield. Due to the small size of these speakers, they are able to produce high frequencies extremely well but will not be able to reproduce lower frequencies. These speakers are ideal for vehicles where space is at a premium and can also be used in applications such as portable speakers systems and power sports vehicles such as ATVs, golf carts, or even lawn mowers. They are very versatile in application due to their small size. Make sure to check out the popular brands we carry such as Pioneer, Kenwood, Kicker and more! |

The factory sticker states 45lbs of pressure for front and rear. Isn't this pretty high - worried about hydroplaning in the wet weather we are currently having.
On my car with 21" tires the sticker states 42 lbs on all tires when they are cold.
For the 19" all-weather (on production model) tires that is correct, 45' front and rear.
Mine was delivered badly over-inflated - 55# or more in each tire.
Boris T
My experience indicates that at higher pressure, the tread is held open, allowing water to be pumped away from the tire, and you actually get better wet weather traction. I will follow the recommended pressures.
During transit, prevents damage from the restraining rails etc.
A great article on tire pressure and hydroplaining.
murraypetera: Excellent link - thanks for sharing!
Veeerrry interesting! And not stupid. But ... no info on overinflation and water. ???
N.B.: it's "hydroplaning".
Maybe he's referring to ordinary water.
I wonder if overinflation reduces "edge contact", and causes loss of control for that reason. Makes me go "Hmmmm...".
Mine was delivered underinflated at 40.5 PSI. will fix today!

I hate to start talking about such a fantastic event with a whinge, but hey, Latitude organisers! Yes, you Festival Republic! Great idea to open up the arena for early arrivers on the Thursday night, but next year, could you actually have stuff on please?
Aside from a handful of events in the smaller arts arenas, there was very little going on, so it was surely no surprise that everyone would try to push their way into Tom Jones' intimate performance in the woods. The fact that the randy old goat ignored shouts of 'Sex Bomb!' for an hour to play his awful new album is irrelevant, there were thousands of people milling about with nothing to do.
Right that'll be the negative comments just about done with I think.
I hadn't been to a festival that wasn't 95% focused on music before, so it was refreshing to find such an emphasis placed on comedy at Latitude. First up was the worryingly-titled Phill Jupitus Improv Show. For me, improv comedy can go either way, but thankfully Buzzcocks' chief fatty was joined by a number of seasoned pros from the days of Whose Line Is It Anyway for some audience-fuelled capers including Richard Vranch-On-The-Piano, who it turns out is pretty bloody funny as well as a talented musician. Hairy Canadian Craig Campbell and comedy rapper Doc Brown (not half as bad as that sounds – he's toured with De la Soul) keep the laughs coming, but finally it's time for some music.
The Kissaway Trail are a Danish six piece who probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for Arcade Fire. They're a pleasant enough listen, but, like their most recent album, are a little one-paced and my attention has wandered towards the end.
Much better are Here We Go Magic, strangely playing the main stage to an unsurprisingly tiny crowd. They cheerily go about their business, regardless and Casual and Collector from their new album are particularly easy on the ear. Luke Temple just looks delighted to be here.
Back in the Word Arena, there are beards and riffs aplenty for Black Mountain's appearance. They draw heavily from last album In the Future and fans of that record shouldn't be disappointed by how new material sounds, i.e. lots of widdly guitars and funereal vocals.
Spoon, while huge in the States, have had little impact here, so again the main stage feels like odd place to plonk them, but at least they manage to get some of the crowd of middle class families to their feet. Got Nuffin from latest album Transference has been heard in telly spy caper Chuck and gets a rousing reception, but you suspect Britt Daniel is used to a bit more from festival audiences. "Thank you for that polite response" is about as good as his chat gets.
Meanwhile, young Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss is having a few problems with hecklers, unimpressed with his delivery but a few sharp 'your Mum'-style put-downs get a rousing reception and the crowd are quickly back on his side. No such problems for David O'Doherty performing amusing ditties on his miniature keyboard. One such musical anecdote is about accidentally texting the person who the text is about (we've all done it, right?) and ends with a verse about him receiving a text that said "I thought David was rubbish tonight, his new material's shite". If I had his number I would have accidentally texted him about how genuinely funny he was.
Folky poppet Laura Marling was clearly born to play Latitude, and fittingly, it's a huge crowd that turn out to see her in the early evening sunshine. She's outrageously talented and the last few years have been pretty massive for her, including two Mercury nominations. She could probably have farted the national anthem for half an hour and this crowd would still have loved it, but thankfully she opts to strum out some melodic loveliness instead.
Latitude's third stage is stashed away in a forest and, despite the wee walk to get there, is a fantastic setting for music. The serene location contradicts the noise that Tokyo Police Club have brought, however. Running late and having to catch a ferry in an hour, they play a frantic set stuffed full of new songs like Breakneck Speed and Boots of Danger. It's not all new stuff – early tune Nature of the Experiment whips up a moshpit which doesn't stop until the closing Your English is Good. Possibly the band of the day so far.
I rather like the cut of Everything Everything's jib and they're headlining the Lake Stage (for new bands). They're certainly the biggest name on today, and manage to draw a decent crowd for their off kilter indie pop. They're going to be huge and I'll probably hate them in a year, but were pretty good in this relatively intimate setting.
2010 seems to have been The National's year, announced to headline the Word Arena, even before the critically and commercially acclaimed High Violet was released. The set kicks off quietly with Runaway before kicking into a brilliant Mistaken for Strangers and it becomes clear just how many incredible tunes they now have in their canon, with Squalor Victoria and Fake Empire provoking mass singalongs and air punching.
Matt Berninger is no longer just one of America's finest lyricists, but now one of its greatest frontmen too. In the two years since I last saw them he's been transformed into one hell of a performer, rolling round the stage during a deafening Mr November. It's a stunning set and brings a great day of music to a close.
As with Friday, the comedy gets started nice and early, and the day kicks off with a stream of up and coming unknown acts, the pick of which, dorky student Ivo Graham and funny-looking Frenchie Eric Lambert, deservedly get the nod from the judges to come back and do it again the following day.
Ardal O'Hanlon is clearly a much bigger name and I've been a massive fan since his days in a dog collar, so it was something of a dream fulfilled to see him do stand-up in the flesh. His patter still has shades of Irish satire (priests!!) but many of his witty tales now revolve around leading an almost-normal life in Ireland including a family meeting to 'decide what to do about Mammy'. Ardal voted to let her in.
Josie Long's 'Essex astronaut' routine was a bit of a slog, so with the music kicking off it was time to see School of Seven Bells in the Word Arena. It's been a few years since Ben Curtis ducked out of Secret Machines to form this dream-pop outfit with the Dehaza sisters and they seemed to have perfected a faintly Cocteau Twins-y aura. Windstorm stands out amongst the new material, which isn't a huge departure from Alpinisms but they at least now have a live drummer in tow.
I knew very little about John Grant ahead of the festival other than a mate's tip-off that he was decent so I toddled along to catch his main stage set. For the uninitiated, I'd say he's heavily influenced by Rufus Wainwright with a dash of Bonnie Prince Billy, sharing a lyrical playfulness with both. There was a consistent sense of loss and bitterness woven into his words, so I think his dog may have run off or something.
Dominic Holland keeps things ticking over in the comedy tent before cheeky Scottish foetus Kevin Bridges takes the stage. He's not to everyone's taste but I can't help but laugh at the guy, at the same time being unnerved by his youth. I could relate to plenty of his tales too, but I'll refrain from repeating them to spare blushes (mostly mine…).
Keeping up the Caledonian theme, Food From Argyll have pitched up hundreds of miles from home, conveniently right beside the Word Arena where one of Scotland's other finest exports are playing – Frightened Rabbit. They've had quite a year and while some have grumbled about the quality of The Winter of Mixed Drinks compared to The Midnight Organ Fight, there are still plenty of great songs on the album. They're on top form today and Scott Hutchison is visibly chuffed that none of the youngsters dancing down the front are Scottish, although a little worried that some of their songs may not be suitable for young ears. Unsure why? Then you haven't been listening to Keep Yourself Warm properly. Fantastic as ever.
Sketch troupe Idiots of Ants (think the name's odd? Put the emphasis on different syllables) have been playing the Edinburgh Fringe for years and it only takes a few minutes in the Cabaret Arena to work out why they're so enduringly popular. Quickfire, vaguely rude and very, very funny.
Back in the Word Arena, Noah and the Whale have pulled a sizeable crowd in. Last year's The First Days of Spring was a critical and commercial success and they've taken giant steps as performers since they underwhelmed the Connect crowd in 2008. Granted, back then they only had one half decent song and Five Years Time does get an airing tonight, but it feels like the weak link in a set which opens with the majestic Blue Skies.
The Horrors are next and while I loved their Primary Colours album from last year they're somewhat lacking in stage presence. The power and volume of the songs just about carries them through and Sea Within a Sea is a work of genius.
Closing down procedings in the Word Arena are the xx, another London band, freshly – and deservedly – nominated for the Mercury prize earlier this week. They open with the ghostly, spidery Intro (as you do) and roll out most of the songs from their debut with Crystalised and Islands following quickly. They can certainly carry it off live and Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim trade sensual vocals throughout. However, with a single album under their belt, it does feel like the gig is too much too soon, not unlike tiresome harpie Florence and the Machine headlining the main stage on Friday night. It was a gamble by the organisers to put the xx on this pedestal but the band certainly gave their all.
But wait… there's more! Taking to the Lake Stage, hours after any other band playing there had finished was Gaggle. "Who?" I hear you ask. Who indeed. Gaggle are a stunningly dressed , ahem, 'gaggle ' of young women performing classy pop – with 18 lead vocalists. Yes, it's gimicky, yes listening to them on record would be missing the point, but they provided a mesmerizing focal point for late night entertainment before the stage turned into the indie disco of your wildest dreams.
Once again, the day started on an amusing note with The Early Edition hosted by Marcus Brigstocke and Andre Vincent. Regulars at the Edinburgh Fringe, much of the slot was taken up with baiting the right wing press (Rod Liddle in particular) aided by Jupitus, a just-up Rufus Hound and Carrie Quinlan. With the whole hour based around five comics riffing off each other, it occasionally felt a little strained, but much merriment was found in trying to summon local resident Geoff Hoon by impersonating vuvuzelas. Altogether, now: "Hoooooooooooooooooooooooon………"
Yesterday's best new acts then returned and Ivo Graham played up to the muso crowd by comparing safe sex to compiling a Massive Attack compilation (you always need a bit of Protection) and has some acute observations on the music line-up, not least one-album acts at the top of the bill spreading themselves thinly over a 90 minute set. It certainly sounds like Flo's 10 minute version of Dog Days Are Over was one to avoid.
Cutie Holly Walsh is a fine addition to any line-up but again, the music was beckoning. First up: The Antlers. Word of mouth clearly still works as a means of getting music fans interested in a band. With next to no press and limited record company funds at their disposal, they still draw a big crowd, suggesting that overwhelmingly positive reviews for last year's Hospice album have done them plenty of favours. Bafflingly, no Sylvia in the set but Two sounds as mighty as ever.
Steve Mason playing the Film Arena didn't make any sense at all until he ambled on stage and announced that after playing a few acoustic tracks he would be showing a film about the 1980s miners strike. With the penny having firmly dropped, he and a musical chum strummed out a couple of numbers including the beautiful title track from this year's Boys Outside album. The film was an amateurly shot piece called Only Doing Their Job which illustrates the poor treatment of striking miners and their tense relationship with the police. Poignant stuff.
I really ought to hate Mumford and Sons. They're extraordinarily popular for a start, demonstrated by the fact that approximately 98% of the festival have turned out to see them play an early main stage slot. But I just can't help but love them – they've brought the banjo and double bass back to the charts for the first time since around 1958 and gloriously sunny tracks like Sign No More and Little Lion Man are perfect for the scorching weather.
And from one extreme to the other, it's back to the Lake Stage where up and coming young Scots Mitchell Museum play to a tiny but appreciative crowd. Lead singer Cammy McFarlane ensures the audience are crystal clear about who they're watching, announcing on several occasions that they are not the Mitchell Library, the Michelin Man or Joni Mitchell but "MITCHELL MUSEUM!!!" A vinyl copy of their album is waved around enthusiastically and I resist a cry of "'mon the Mitchell Library!" in fear that it might end up somewhere painful. Musically there's whiff of psychedelic pop about them and they've plenty of energy. Top album tracks Warning Bells and Tiger Heartbeat are played with gusto and a straight-faced cover of MIA's Paper Planes lures in a few more passing punters.
It's a short walk to the Word Arena for NYC Afro-synth-poppers Yeasayer who cram a lot into their short slot, keeping chat to a minimum. The electro direction on this year's Odd Blood has rubbed off on older material with fresh arrangements for 2080 and Wait for the Summer taking them to a new level. We could have done without some of the cod-rock posturing though.
With the limbs starting to tire it was a trek to the forest-set Sunrise Arena for Jack Barnett's These New Puritans. As strong live as they clearly are, and a woodwind duo now very much part of the band, they come across just a little bit too po-faced and chilly for such a lovely outdoor setting. Much more appropriate were The Pains of Being Pure At Heart who have managed to bang out a hell of lot of material in the last year. Their debut album was a near-masterpiece in fuzzy three minute pop songs about teenage lust and tonight's new tunes demonstrated absolutely zero progression. But to coin a phrase, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Sigur Rós frontman Jonsí was never a must-see for me, not having heard his solo album and (correctly) predicting that nary a note of Victory Rose music would be aired. Defying my expectations, however, he's awesome. The last time I saw Sigur Rós play they stared at their shoes for the whole gig but the wee fella truly came alive here, clad in a bizarre get-up that at one point included an Indian headdress. His voice is still amazing and that solo album now merits investigation.
Finally – and at this point the weekend has started to feel really long – it's time for Grizzly Bear in the Suffolk twilight. Their beautifully arranged songs are faultlessly executed and the crowd reception is rapturous. They announce that it's their "last show for a long time" and here's hoping that the follow-up to Veckatimest is on their minds. For now though they send weary campers back to their tents with While You Wait for the Others floating round their ears.
Overall, Latitude is a triumph. The crowd are light years away from T in their attitude, and aside from a couple of unsavoury, well-publicised assaults (completely out of character for the event) it's a safe haven for music fans. I mean, how many festivals have you heard of, where you have to fight your way through rows of buggies to escape Belle and Sebastian?
If I had a complaint, it would be that a lot of the main stage acts lacked in pulling power, if not necessarily quality. I'm also far from convinced that Florence and Vampire Weekend are big enough or experienced enough to headline even a medium-sized festival, not that I went to see either, right enough.
But I'm seriously considering a return trip next year and I'd urge you to join me.

The perfect fit!
By Mother of 2
from Vancouver, WA
Ordered these gloves for myself, and am very very happy with the purchase. Not only are they a great product, but Sunny Sports offered them for almost half off the price if I'd went directly to The North Face and bought them. Great deal, great gloves, and a super buy! And The North Face guarantees their products for life! So if I eery have a problem, I can always exchange them.

I love them. I am not an outdoor sports enthusiast, but I live in a region that gets a lot of wind. This is the perfect light weight glove to save fingers from it. They're the perfect balance of weight and warmth.
