Actor Benedict Cumberbatch will grace the big screen at Guild Hall during a National Theatre Live presented screening of "Hamlet" on Saturday, October 24th at 7 p.m.
Cumberbatch, whose resume includes BBC's Sherlock, The Imitation Game, 12 Years a Slave, and Frankenstein at the National Theatre, will star as Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, in Shakespeare's great tragedy which follows a man who is forced to avenge his father's death after learning that it was his Uncle Claudius who murdered his beloved father so Claudius could take over the throne.
The Academy Award nominee's performance has earned rave reviews. "This is a Hamlet for a world on the edge," noted Matt Trueman of Variety. "A warning from history, and a plea for new ideas from a new generation."
The National Theatre production is directed by Lyndsey Turner and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.
"Cumberbatch is a blazing five-star Hamlet," said Dominic Cavendish of the Daily Telegraph.
Tickets are $18 for non-members and $16 members.

The Osa Peninsula
Note: Guaria de Osa Retreat Centre is just a 15 minute walk on the beach from San Josecito de Drake. To locate Guaria de Osa from other directions, it is a 2 hour walk south of Drake Bay or a 1 1/2 hour walk from the Corcovado National Park.
An excerpt by Alexander del Sol
author of The Southern Costa Rica Guide
The world-famous Osa Peninsula, one of the most bio-diverse places on the entire planet, has been described as "the most biologically intense place on Earth" by no less an authority than National Geographic. The main feature of the Osa is the 42,000 hectare Corcovado National Park, home to almost 400 species of birds, 140 species of mammals, 116 species of amphibians and reptiles, over 500 species of trees and more than 6,000 species of insects. The park protects endangered species such as the jaguar, puma, crocodile, tapir, poison dart and golden frogs, and the harpy eagle. The beaches of the Osa are also major nesting sites for several varieties of sea turtles. If you want to really experience a lowland tropical rainforest in its most pristine and natural state, yet also enjoy the tropical beach environment, the Osa Peninsula awaits you.
Sierpe
This small river town on the picturesque Rio Sierpe is the entry point to the extensive wetlands of the lower Diquis Valley and Delta of Terraba, the largest mangrove reserve in Central America. Towering mangrove trees line the banks of the Sierpe River and its tributaries as it meanders its way out to the Pacific Ocean, where it empties into the sea just a few miles north of Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula. The Sierpe River and its environs house crocodiles, caimans, monkeys, and hundreds of species of birds, including rare varieties of tanager, heron, trogon, kingfisher, etc. There is also fantastic fishing throughout the year. The town has a general store, public telephones, and several boat docks.
Named after Sir Francis Drake, who once moored here for a spell and, as legend has it, buried a rich treasure somewhere along the coast in the area, this wide bay and the coastline to its south on the Pacific is one of the most picturesque spots in Costa Rica, where lush lowland Rainforest flows down verdant mountainsides to meet the warm, rolling surf of the Pacific Ocean. The bay itself lies at the base of the base of the Osa Peninsula, home of the world-famous Corcovado National Park. A Guyami Indian Reservation is located on the border of Corcovado, with its own primary Rainforest and handicrafts for sale, though it's quite a trek to the tiny village and you really need a guide. Caño Island, a land and marine biological reserve famous for pre-Columbian spheres, world class diving, and excellent sport fishing, can be seen from the shore. The traditional way to get there is by water from the town of Sierpe [which means 'serpent']. The trip down the Sierpe River is breathtaking as it meanders its way towards the Pacific among giant mangrove forests.
The east side of the Osa Peninsula is bordered by the Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf), an incredible marine paradise where humpback whales, whale sharks, three species of dolphins, and schools of tuna come to breed and play. The unique ecosystem here provides an ideal environment for aquatic mammals..... Whether you visit Drake Bay on its northern base, Corcovado National Park in its heart, the gulf and Pacific coastlines around its southern end, or a combination of all these exciting and picturesque areas, the exhilarating beauty and energy of the Osa will leave an indelible impression upon your psyche.
The Osa Peninsula is the most southern zone of Costa Rica (known as the 'Southern Pacific Zone') as the Atlantic coastal areas of Costa Rica (far to the northeast and geographically isolated) are not considered part of this region. Most people simply call it the 'Southern Zone,' (or the Osa Peninsula) claimed by many to be the most beautiful spot on this planet. With one of the last great stands of unspoiled primary Rainforest in Central America, its deep, sweet gulf teeming with abundant aquatic life, scenic cascading rivers and waterfalls, and one of the highest levels of bio-diversity in the entire world, this often overlooked region of the country is a treasure trove of experiences for the nature and adventure traveler. This is where 'the rubber meets the road' in regards to issues such as bio-diversity, sustainable development, and environmentalism, and where individuals such as yourself, even as a visitor, can really make an impact. Verdant mountain peaks rise up out of forested valleys as clear sparkling streams tumble down from the heights. Farmland, pasture and rainforest blend with giant mangrove swamps, where both the fishing and bird watching are unparalleled anywhere. Over 60% of the land is covered by Rainforest, and this region is home to the largest concentrations of indigenous peoples in the country. This area is by far the most bio-diverse in the country, and Costa Rica is one of the most bio-diverse countries on the planet, with over 5% of the known species of life forms on Earth. There are four national parks and a national reserve, plus many private reserves and wildlife refuges. The Osa Peninsula is situated between the Talamanca Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, and stretches from San Isidro and Dominical in the north to Punta Burica and Panama in the south. It covers a vast array of complex tropical ecosystems from lowland wet forests and mangrove swamps to ridge top cloud forests and rocky highlands."
More on The Osa Peninsula
An excerpt by Jeff Lantz
Read Full Text at osapeninsula.com
Much of the Osa Peninsula is still without electricity. The population of the entire area is about 5,000 people with approximately 100 foreigners, mostly Americans, living on the Osa at least part of the year. For those of us that live here, the Osa is what Costa Rica is all about. Not only in terms of landscape and outdoor adventure, but also the culture and the Costa Rican people.
The Osa's unique bio-diversity is made up of eight different habitats including cloud forest and the largest and most exuberant lowland wet tropical forest remaining in all of Pacific Central America. Species density and geographical location make it totally unique. The Osa is home to Corcovado National Park, the crown jewel of Costa Rica's National Park System and habitat where many endangered animal and plant species still thrive. The largest trees in Costa Rica are found in the forests of the Osa. Corcovado and the surrounding area has been called one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth by none other than National Geographic. Truly a paradise, it is a place where jaguars still roam the jungles, Scarlet Macaws fly freely around the towns, and monkeys are found in numbers unmatched in all of Costa Rica and most of Central America. Non "mainstream" travelers have discovered this previously little known, rugged paradise and come from around the world to experience the "wild side" of Costa Rica and sample some of the world class fishing, surfing and exploring. The Osa Peninsula is unquestionably Costa Rica's best kept 'secret'! A naturalist's paradise and an outdoor adventurer's dream, Outside Magazine calls it... "The last best peninsula!"
Bugs: There is an incredible variety of insects in Costa Rica. Over 10,000 species right here in the Osa. However, all the hype about the bothersome types like mosquitoes is quite overrated. It is surprising to most people that they don't encounter massive swarms of these insects like they do in many parts of the Midwestern United States. Snakes and lizards are also plentiful but you don't see the majority of them unless you are out in the Rainforest at night or disturbing their hiding places in the daytime.
Climate: How's the weather? Warm all year, of course... it's the tropics! However being a peninsula of land surrounded by water creates a more favorable climate - more so than south Florida (United States), for example. The land in the Osa Peninsula is green year-round with December through April being Costa Rica's "summer." Daytime temperatures are usually in the 90's with little or no rain. The rainy season starts around May or June in the form of afternoon showers or rain at night. This weather pattern continues until September and the month of October is when the heavy rains begin. Daytime temperatures during the rainy season are normally in the 70's and 80's but can dip into the "chilling" 60's at times. Be reassured, that even in the rainy season, there is sun and one can still get a tan. An important point is that Costa Rica is not located in the hurricane belt. Some hurricanes will pass as far south as Honduras and on occasion, Nicaragua. At times, we may experience the affects of these catastrophic storms but only in the form of rain and moderate winds.
Why is the Osa Peninsula so special?
The Osa Peninsula remains Costa Rica's last wild frontier even twenty-five years after its first national park — Corcovado — was created in the peninsula. The Osa Peninsula is also called "The Little Amazon" of Costa Rica. With pristine beaches and virgin forest, the Osa Peninsula is described by National Geographic as "The most biologically intense place on Earth." Without a doubt, the most unique area in all of Costa Rica, the Osa is a place where Jaguars still roam the jungle and Scarlet Macaws fly around in the towns and where campesinos from the mountains still ride a horse — something you will rarely see anywhere else in the country.
The Osa is not for everyone.....
You will not find big hotels, condos, or large development projects here. If that's what you are looking for, there are other places in Costa Rica to visit. However, if you are looking for a close encounter with raw Nature, both land and sea, and it excites you thinking about being in beautiful rural settings not overrun by foreigners, small town life, real Costa Rican culture, where campesinos from the mountains still ride a horse to town, operating on solar energy, getting your water from a well or mountain spring.....then do come to visit Guaria de Osa in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica!

Q: Android: Hide keyboard on button press My main activity has 2 EditText (username and password) and a Button (login). I am displaying the status below the button.
As the user clicks the button, I need to hide the keyboard, otherwise the keyboad would come infront of status messages.
So in the login button's click event I am programatically closing the keyboard using the following code:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);

I believe the above code if for toggling the keyboard state and not specifically for closing it.
Now the problem is that if the keyboard is already collapsed and the user clicks the button, it shows the keyboard.
I need an alternative of the above code which will check if the keyboard is closed and if closed open it.

A: checkout below code
/**
 * Hides the soft keyboard
 */
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
    if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

/**
 * Shows the soft keyboard
 */
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    view.requestFocus();
    inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}

A: Try this:
 public static final void hideKeyboard(View view, Context context) {
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager =(InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

In view send your button:
hideKeyboard(mButtonTest,context);

A: Try:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

Q: Are PCIe devices designed to use in multi-platform and architectures? Some PCIe devices contain "PCI Expansion ROM" or "PCI Option ROM", which stores programs to initialize the devices.
Now let's say I have a PCIe RAID controller, which is usually used on x86 machines. Now, if I plug it in a ARM machine, would the PCIe device failed to initialize? In other words, are most PCIe devices x86 specific?

A: Here's the issues with PCI option ROMs on ARM architecture:

*

*An option ROM written in x86 assembly won't be understandable by an ARM CPU.

*Option ROMs meant to be executed by PC BIOSes (such ROMs start with 0x55AA and have a couple of bytes for checksum and additional information) will assume PC architecture low-level details, such as VGA hardware, Intel CPU I/O ports, etc.

*The whole BIOS concept was tightly wedded to the x86 CPU and PC architecture and never used for any ARM system.

Now ...

*

*UEFI, BIOSes successor is meant to be used on CPUs other than x86.

*The solution to the problems above was EFI byte code - a bytecode that would be interpreted by a runtime in the UEFI, making the code CPU independent.

*ARM systems using UEFI are relatively new (the Surface RT might even be the only such system).  Most ARM systems use CFE, U-Boot, or other boot firmware that don't work like PC BIOSes.

Now, if I plug it in a ARM machine, would the PCIe device failed to initialize?

You wouldn't even have a chance unless the ARM system was using UEFI.  If it was, your system would probably hang on boot.  EBC is not widely used in boot ROM firmware.
While the boot ROM wouldn't work, an OS that later boots would still recognize and be able to use the hardware just fine.

What does a boot ROM do?
The old pre-UEFI BIOS implemented an API through the x86 interrupt mechanism.  Your program would have to set various x86 registers as parameters, then issue an x86 INT instruction.
INT causes the x86 CPU to look up an address in a table, and then transfers control to it (this is called a software interrupt - hardware can cause this to happen by talking to an interrupt controller also connected to the CPU).
Before processing option ROMs, the BIOS populates this table to various addresses that go back into the BIOS and perform API functions.
MS-DOS uses table extensively, relying on the BIOS for its original function - a Basic Input/Output System.  Other operating systems don't use BIOS calls once they have control, they use their own drivers and mechanisms for driving hardware.
Since this interrupt table is in RAM, so it can be modified.  Option ROMs could "hook" into the interrupt table - overwriting a specific interrupt's address to something in the ROM - and make it so BIOS API calls go to the option ROM first.
One BIOS API call that the BIOS uses itself is 13h - this call reads a sector off of a disk device.  It's required to load sector 0 off of a hard drive to boot an OS (even MS-DOS).
BIOS knows how to talk to floppy and IDE devices but nothing else.  A SCSI card would have an option ROM that would rewrite or "hook" 13h - and that made it possible to boot off of a SCSI drive.  If the operating system is MS-DOS then MS-DOS could work with the SCSI drive since it would use 13h for disk operations.
Network booting is another situation where option ROMs are used.

If so, is it possible that the drivers could be designed to take care of this instead?

Yes, and they do.  BIOS option ROMs really only support booting an OS and optionally a configuration menu (the "Press Ctrl-A to enter RAID configuration" is from the Option ROM and you see it at the point the BIOS calls its initialization code).

IIRC Linux takes care of enumerating devices again, and will pretty much ignore information from the x86 BIOS

Windows does that too.  x86 BIOS (and x86 real mode) hung around as long as it did for MS-DOS support.

A: Most PCIe devices that have on-board firmware are x86 specific.
The on-board firmware is designed to work together with an Intel compatible environment.
There are devices made for other architectures. Mainly GPU, storage/raid and network cards. Some of these even allow flashing the firmware to change from one architecture to the other. Others are dual-firmware and can switch between architectures as needed.
I have even seen some raid-controllers that could be loaded (at boot-time from the UEFI environment) with the appropriate firmware for the architecture it was placed in.
Most of these are data-center grade and very expensive. Not something the average user will ever encounter in the wild.
For devices without on-board firmware (or better said: On-board firmware that doesn't interact with the host system) it is possible they work in whatever architecture that has drivers for them.

A: OptionROM can have several code images

UEFI specification has some explanation about what is a purpose of such multi-image ROM:
The following is a list of the image combinations that may be placed in a PCI option
ROM. This is not an exhaustive list. Instead, it provides what will likely be the most common PCI option
ROM layouts. EFI complaint system firmware must work with all of these PCI option ROM layouts, plus
any other layouts that are possible within the PCI Firmware Specification. The format of a Legacy Option
ROM image is defined in the PCI Firmware Specification.
• Legacy Option ROM image
• IA-32 UEFI driver
• x64 UEFI driver
• AArch32 UEFI driver
• AArch64 UEFI driver
• Legacy Option ROM image + x64 UEFI driver
• Legacy Option ROM image + x64 UEFI driver + AArch64 UEFI driver
• x64 UEFI driver + AArch64 UEFI driver
• Itanium Processor Family UEFI driver
• EBC Driver
In addition to combinations of UEFI drivers with different processor binding, it is also possible to include
multiple drivers of different function but the same processor binding.

(https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_2_8_final.pdf)
So as you can see, OptionROM can have images for different architectures. For example PCI device can have code images both for ARM and x86.
System firmware can parse code images header structures looking for the correct machine type.

But although this field is defined in edk2:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/0ecdcb6142037dd1cdd08660a2349960bcf0270a/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Pci22.h#L845
it doesn't seem that it is actually used:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/PciBusDxe/PciOptionRomSupport.c
Update:
Check out this guide https://www.workofard.com/2020/12/aarch64-option-roms-for-amd-gpus/
It explains how to add the AMD AARCH64 Gop Driver as another Code Image to the PCI graphic card OptionROM to make the graphic card work at boot time in AArch64 systems.


If I asked you if you thought you were gifted, what would you say? Uncertainty might creep its way in, and you might not know how to answer.
It is not unusual for us to get uncomfortable when we are asked direct questions about ourselves.
Why do you think that is, why do we get embarrassed or uneasy when the focus turns to us?
Do you remember hearing when you were a child – 'don't speak unless your spoken to', 'children should be seen and not heard'. All of what we absorbed as children from our parents, teachers and society, conditioned our minds to believe it was the 'truth'.
From that constrained way of thinking, we came to believe that expressing something about ourselves perhaps insinuates that we were vain, or self-centred.
Questions frankly asking us about ourselves, certainly for many, makes us anxious. We would much rather talk about someone else than have any attention drawn towards 'me'!
The real truth is, we are all talented human beings. Each and every one of us is here to fulfil a purpose.
The expansion of our Soul is why we are gifted life experience after life experience. With each reincarnation we move closer to our divine resolve. As we move and make our way through the process of our life, there is a firm determination within us.
Each day we solve and settle, putting things right so that we feel strengthened in our commitments, ambition and motivation. In other words, we do what is expected of us and what is necessary.
Taking care of others, fulfilling our daily obligations and hopefully with a little time left over, taking a little care of ourselves too. All of this daily real life stuff is great, if you don't weaken.
What many of us don't make time or room for in our life, is nourishing the greatness that exists within us. Making a connection to ourselves on a deep inner soul level is often avoided because we are so occupied with the business of our lives.
Who has time to stop and smell the roses these days!!! But that is exactly what we need to do, hurry up and slow down.
How are you going to get to know yourself if you don't take an interest?
So, let me ask you one little question that might make a big impact – What gift do you hold inside of your 'self'?


She had already woken up when Zhao Zhi Qing sat down by her bed, but she kept her eyes closed because she didn't know how to face him. While she had been unconscious, she had been somewhat aware of her surroundings and faintly remembered what had happened during that period. She knew who had risked his life to rescue her from Bao He Hall.
It was outside of Empress Chen's expectation that Emperor Chong Zhen would personally rescue her. She had originally thought he was the type of person that only cared about his throne and power. Everything else was dispensable to him. Unexpectedly, she had a leading position in his heart. It was exactly because of this reason that Empress Chen didn't know what type of expression to face Emperor Chong Zhen with.
She hadn't expected that he would apologize to her.
Zhao Zhi Qing had been haughty and conceited since he was young. After he became emperor, it would be easier to reach the heavens than get an apology from him. She didn't expect that she would hear his apology while she was pretending to be asleep.
With her eyes opened, Empress Chen's gaze fell on the canopy curtain above her head that was embroidered with butterflies and golden bees. She looked at it for a long before slightly returning to her senses.
Such a large disturbance had occurred in the palace. Everyone in palace should know about today's events.
Immediately after, she asked, "Has the baby been born?
Inside the delivery room, there were gushes of heat.
One midwife was keeping watching at the head of the bed and the other was at the end of the bed doing the same as they said words of persuasion and encouragement to Wei Luo. The hair in front of Wei Luo's forehead had been soaked with sweat and her small face was deathly pale. By now, she was completely exhausted and didn't even have the energy to speak. There was only the faint sound of her breathing. She resembled a weary porcelain doll and didn't even have the strength to raise her eyelashes. Her lowered long eyelashes covered the light in her black eyes.
Wei Luo felt that she didn't have much longer to live. It was too painful. She almost didn't want to continue giving birth. But, she was also unwilling to give up. Besides, it had already reached this point. It wasn't like she could forcefully return to before. Her limpid, black eyes turned and turned until her gaze met the midwife's. Her voice had already become hoarse from yelling, "Where's Zhao…?" She was in so much pain that she couldn't even say his full name.
The midwife looked at the ashen Prince Jing, who was standing near the bed. Zhao Jie had previously been sitting at the head of the bed and had been disturbing the birthing process. The midwife had rallied her courage to ask him to stand at the side. Ever since Wei Luo hadn't been able to push the baby out, his face has looked this way. It made the people in the birthing room feel even more frightened.
Wei Luo wanted to say something else, but a sharp pain came from her belly and her words turned into a scream. She grabbed Zhao Jie's hand, placed his wrist in her mouth, and bit down.
Seeing this sight, the midwife hurriedly rushed over and encouraged Wei Luo to use more energy. The baby would be born soon.
Wei Luo bit down on Zhao Jie's wrist in pain. It seemed as if she had a made a decision when she deeply inhaled, put all of her strength into her lower body, and desperately tried to push the baby out. She tasted blood in her mouth, but Zhao Jie didn't even blink, much less cry out in pain like her. Wei Luo felt as if her mind had left her body and she could only fell her body slackening.
Wei Luo slowly closed her eyes in fatigue. Her baby had finally been born. She thought if it continued to stay in her belly, she would have died from the pain.
Zhao Jie took out a handkerchief to wipe Wei Luo's sweat. His eyes never looked away from her.
At first, the midwife froze in surprise. Soon after, she laughed and said, "All newborn babies look like this. The wrinkles on his face will smooth out later." This was the first time she had seen a mother be disdainful of her own child and think it was ugly.
Wei Luo frowned. In her mind, she thought that she didn't look this ugly.
His wrinkled, red face looked remarkably liked a hairless monkey's.
But, Wei Luo couldn't say any of these words. She had already fainted from fatigue.

Davido has taken another swipe at Dele Momodu but this time it was caused by a fan. The fan tweeted at Dele Momodu saying he knows deep down that he still wants to go to Dubai and asked that he apologise to Davido. Davido then waded in and said 'Nah my boy'.

The fourth quarter of 2018 Avianca Holdings reached US $ 1,300 million in operating income, a figure that is 15.3% higher than that registered in the same period of 2017. This translates into annual revenues of US $ 4,900 million, 10.1% above the previous year.
Between October and December, the airline stood out for an operating profit of US $ 67 million, a margin (EBIT) of 5.2% and the number of passengers transported, reaching 7.9 million and growing 18.8% compared to the same period of 2017.
"This indicator not only allowed the airline to maintain a robust load factor of 81.9% in the quarter, but enabled it to close 2018 as the first year, since 2015, with a consistent Yield recovery reaching US $ 9, 5 cents for the quarter and a consolidated growth of 5.8% for the whole year.
In fact, during this quarter, Avianca increased its capacity measured in ASK's (seats available per kilometer flown) by 22.4% through an operational fleet of 190 aircraft (including subsidiaries).
The cargo business unit also managed to increase its total revenues by 14.1% and maintain the leadership of this segment in Colombia with a 41% share. And its loyalty program increased gross revenue by 13.8% year-on-year and the membership base by 13.4%, reaching 8.9 million members.
Finally, it was noted that during 2018 the company regained operational stability after registering the fourth quarter without the effects of the illegal termination of activities in 2017 and closed the strategic and commercial alliance negotiations with United Airlines and Copa Airlines.
During the presentation of the results, the company announced a transformation plan that it described as "the most robust of the last decade" because through it seeks to migrate from a growth model to one of profitability and operational efficiency.
The holding explained that in order to achieve this, the operation's indicators will improve, adjust the fleet plans, prioritize the investment plans and sell the non-strategic assets.
The CEO and CEO of the company, Hernan Rincon explained that the transformation plan is necessary to ensure the sustainability of Avianca Holdings in the long term. "With the implementation of this ambitious scheme, we will strengthen our financial position for the benefit of our clients and our shareholders," he said.
He also announced that in order to launch these actions, they formed a team that will focus exclusively on this and will be led by Gerardo Grajales, as the new Chief Transformation Officer.
Avianca said that the decisions are made in the midst of a "challenging and competitive" macroeconomic environment, marked by the rise in fuel prices, the reduction in the demand of passengers from Argentina and Brazil and the rising cost of the dollar.
Likewise, changes were announced in the corporate governance of the holding creation of a new Executive Board Committee with three independent members and the presence of United Airlines as the observer of the Board of Directors, without the right to vote.


This Bargain Buy column has already noted the album which seemed to bottle the spirit and joy of Beatlemania. With the Beatles from '64 with its covers and originals showcased the breadth of music and invention of the group at that early stage . . . but as noted in that brief article here, they moved so rapidly few others could keep up.
A longtime Essential Elsewhere album has been Rubber Soul of the following year, because they realised they had to work harder and become even more musically inventive. Otherwise they would just be churning out Beatlemania pop forever and the world -- which was moving on through Dylan, the Byrds and so on -- would go right past them.
Rubber Soul was the album which showed a new musical maturity (doubtless the marijuana helped) and then -- just two years on from With the Beatles and A Hard Days Night -- they delivered the even more innovative Revolver in August '66.
It was their seventh studio album since Please Please Me released in March '63.
In the Anthology, George Harrison said he always thought of Rubber Soul and Revolver as a piece, and he struggled to recall what songs were on which.
But in its studio experimentation -- backward guitars, tape samples, a broad range of instruments from sitars to French horn -- Revolver was a step up yet again.
It opens with some shuffling and coughs as if to give the feel of spontenaity and then this cleverly crafted album takes off with the stabbing guitar of Harrison's Taxman.
It is hard to believe in these days when albums feel so generic and all of a piece, the diversity of music the Beatles unself-consciously put on Revolver: the string-soaked Eleanor Rigby; the weary I'm Only Sleeping; McCartney's wonderfully understated ballad Here There and Everywhere; the Northern soul of Got to Get You Into My Life; the pure pop economy of And Your Bird Can Sing; and of course those polar opposites . . . the kid-friendly Yellow Submarine and the innovative droning and tripped-out Tomorrow Never Knows.
This is an extraordinary 35 minutes in its musical and emotional reach, and in the songs' economy. Even Tomorrow Never Knows doesn't break the three minute mark.
Little wonder it is source material for contemporary artists even now.
And this classic album is just $15 at JB Hi-Fi stores (here). In fact all the Beatles single discs are (doubles just $20) . . . so why not pick up With the Beatles and this Rubber Soul/Revolver period and do your homework if they are still a mystery to you?
Their journey from pop to rock is tracked across those three albums. And even now it is astonishing to think how far they traveled in such a short time -- while knocking off two movies, touring and other albums and singles.
They had a very good work ethic.

It is the inaugural season of the College Football Playoffs and the committee has set the final four bracket.
The new format did little to lessen the drama.
In the end, the Ohio State Buckeyes took the fourth seed and are set to take on the No. 1 seed, the Alabama Crimson Tide, in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Rose Bowl will host No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Florida State. Both games will be held on New Year's Day.
The twelve person selection committee, chaired by Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, ultimately chose to drop the TCU Horned Frogs from the top four, after they finished the season 11-1 and co-champions of the Big 12.
The conference's lack of a championship game could be blamed for both TCU and Baylor being left out of the top four. Ohio State's huge 59-0 win over No. 13 Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game was enough to convince the committee that the Buckeyes deserved a chance to compete for a national championship.
The new playoff format consists of the four teams chosen by the committee playing in the two semifinal games.
The winners will compete for the national championship. This year, that game will take place Jan.12 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Conference ties to bowl games will be honored for the semifinal games, meaning each year, if ranked in the top four, teams will be matched to their bowl games accordingly. Conference champions will be placed in the other New Year's bowls, the Orange, Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach.
This year, No. 5 Baylor takes on No. 8 Michigan State in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl. No. 6 TCU will play No. 9 Ole Miss in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. No. 7 Mississippi State is set to take on No. 12 Georgia Tech in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The VIZIO Fiesta Bowl will host No. 20 Boise State and No. 10 Arizona.
Alabama, which has been ranked No. 1 since week 13 of the season, finished the regular season 12-1 while facing a tough SEC schedule.
After winning at No. 1-ranked Mississippi State, Alabama began to show why it deserved to compete for a championship. Quarterback Blake Sims' twenty-six touchdowns, Amari Cooper's over 1,600 receiving yards, and T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry's 343 combined carries put the Crimson Tide in the top position.
Urban Meyer's Buckeyes will face their toughest opponent of the season in Alabama in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
With young players at several positions, including quarterback, Meyer has been able to put together a surprising season. Their improvement over the season and proving their ability to win despite the hardships their program has seen over the season catapulted them to the top four.
Reigning national champion Florida State is the only undefeated team in the top four.
The program has also had its fair share of troubles this year, but managed to beat a No. 22-ranked Clemson in overtime early in the season and a No. 5-ranked Notre Dame in the final seconds during week seven of the season.
The Seminoles might feel slighted with how they have been perceived during the season, but they have a chance to prove everyone wrong by beating the high-powered offense of Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
The Ducks, led by quarterback Marcus Mariota, a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, finished the regular season 12-1. Their only loss was to Arizona, who they handily beat 51-13 in their rematch at the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night.
Mariota threw for over 3,700 yards and had 14 rushing touchdowns over the season. The Seminoles will have their work cut out for them if they want to make it to the championship game in Arlington.

The LSU-Alabama rivalry has become legendary.
Die-hard fans on both sides plan their lives around the November weekend they play each year. Coaches Les Miles and Nick Saban know that this game is one of the most important games on their schedules before the season even begins.
Each coach got their start in the Big Ten, but became coaching legends in the SEC.
Miles is a "Michigan Man." LSU fans are reminded of this every time there are rumbles of a coaching change there. Remember 2007, 2011, and even this current season in 2014? Miles is always at the top of the list for potential candidates when Michigan begins a head coach search.
Miles was an offensive lineman for coach Bo Schembechler from 1974-1975. He returned there to begin his coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1980 and served as the offensive lineman coach from 1987-1994. The team had four Rose Bowl appearances during that time. It is well known how fond of his alma mater he is.
Saban also got his start in the Big Ten, at Ohio State and Michigan State. He was the defensive backs coach at Ohio State from 1980-1981 and held the same position at Michigan State from 1983-1987 where he eventually became the defensive coordinator during that time. After working in the NFL and as the Toledo head coach, he would return to Michigan State as its head coach from 1995-1999. His success at Michigan State helped him land the head coaching position at LSU in 2000.
During his time at LSU, Saban won two SEC championships, one national championship, and a coach of the year award. Tiger fans were happy for him when he left to coach in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins. Les Miles was hired by LSU as his replacement.
The modern chapter of the LSU and Alabama rivalry truly began in 2007 when Saban returned to coaching college football after and unsuccessful tenure in the NFL to LSU's SEC West rival Alabama. The Tigers would now have to play their former coach yearly, and they knew how good of a coach he was.
Alabama is leading the series with LSU from when Saban became their coach in 2007, 5-3. This includes the 2012 BCS National Championship Game where the Crimson Tide beat the Tigers 21-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, which some consider it to be LSU's home turf.
All of this history leads to a focus on Saturday's match up. Alabama is currently ranked No. 5, meaning it is on the cusp of entering the new college football playoffs with a chance to play for a national championship.
LSU is ranked No. 16, and the Tigers would love nothing more than to knock Alabama out of contention and continue to improve their standing and make a case for a playoff bid.
Miles is hoping for the best from both his team and fans.
The LSU-Alabama game has taken on a significance that no other regular season college football game has done. The rivalry continues to intensify as each school remains competitive season after season.
The Tigers are excited to play in front of their home crowd and every Tiger fan is hoping for a win because it means an Alabama loss. There will be no love lost between these two teams on Saturday night.

A lot has been said about the LSU Tiger's losses to Auburn and Mississippi State already this season and how tough it will be for them the remain competitive in the SEC with their upcoming games against Florida, Ole Miss, and Alabama. They sit at the bottom of the SEC West standings with only Arkansas behind them. Can the Tiger's become bowl eligible with such a young roster?
Often used as bragging rights, LSU has 43 players currently on active rosters in the NFL. Nine of these players came from the 2014 draft, which included seven offensive players, underclassmen wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Jeremy Hill amongst them.
A similar departure has also happened on defense. In the 2013 draft, of the nine taken in the draft eight were underclassmen, with only one being on the offensive side of the ball. Playmakers like Tyrann Mathieu and Eric Reid chose to forgo their last year of eligibility to compete in the NFL.
Can the Tigers continue to compete at such a high level when they lose not only their senior leadership, but their future leadership each year to the NFL draft? They do maintain top recruiting classes, bringing in top high school talent to bolster their roster, however, the trend of losing key players early to the draft seems to really show in a season like 2014.
LSU is no longer ranked in the top 25 for the first time since November 2008 and are 0-2 in the SEC. Their offense has struggled with underclassmen Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris sharing snaps at quarterback going 0-13 on third downs against Auburn. Their defense gave up a combined total of 1,136 yards and 75 points in the losses to Miss. St and Auburn.
Coach Les Miles is now faced with playing inexperienced players in a conference that is often referred to as the toughest in college football. Miles should find more ways to involve younger players as early as possible to lessen the blow of losing top talent in the draft. We know he can recruit the talent, he just is not able to retain them for all years of eligibility. He must find a way to slow the turnover of players to remain a top contender for a championship year in and year out, or be prepared to have a "rebuilding year" every few seasons.

Vacherie- All of the excitement of opening a new stadium against long time rival the Rams, Wildcats fans would have thought that to be enough motivation. To add to the hype, it was the game of the week on Cox sports.
After a slow start for both teams in the opening of the first quarter. West St. John finally got things going when quarterback Jemoine Green found wide receiver Morell Bartholomew for a 69 yard pass completion which set up Anfernee Lumar field goal to end the first quarter.
St. James flustered and not getting off to the start they hoped for. The Rams seemingly settled down after the hype surrounding the big game. Taking advantage of St. James early and often. Definitely dominated the first half. They looked like they came to play. Led by senior wide receiver Morell Bartholomew with three touchdowns passes in the second quarter, along with another touchdown by wide receiver Lamore Boudoin.
St. James had eleven penalties in the first half. Which led to the Rams totaling 130 yards rushing and 132 yards passing to end the first half down 29-0.
The Wildcats would not go away easily. Needing to score quickly, the Wildcats did just that in the third quarter. Sophomore quarterback Lowell Narcisse completed a 63-yard pass to Houston Wiggins less than 2:00 in to the third quarter. Which led to the Wildcats' first score in the new stadium. Narccisse scored the two-point conversion. A muffed punt by the Rams gave the Wildcats a short field. On fourth down of the next possession, Narcisse scrambled for a 34-yard touchdown and was successful on the second two point conversion making the score 29-16.
On St. James next possession they would have to travel almost the length of the football field. Taking the ball 89 yards to cap it off with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Lowell Narcisse to Dontaze Costly making the game 29-22 after failing on a two-point conversion.
With 1:22 left in the third quarter. Wildcats kicked the ball off to the Rams' Bradley Borne, who fumbled on his own 20-yard line. Wildcats would capitalize on the very next possession when Narcisse scrambled to find Curtlan Johnson for the touchdown. Narcisse third two-point conversion was successful giving the Wildcats a one-point lead 30-29 to end the third.
It was now time to show up and show out for the Rams. With the momentum shift of the third quarter, the Rams needed something to combat that.
It would come at the 10:00 mark of the fourth quarter when the Rams stopped the Wildcats on a fourth and eight from the Rams 20-yard line. West St. John had the ball on 44-yard line. A reception from Jordae Gauthier and a personal foul penalty against St. James advanced the ball to the 29-yard line. The Wildcats fought back to hold the Rams to a 28-yard field goal by Lumar to regain the lead 32-30.
On the Wildcats next possession they failed to make any positive yards, forcing them to punt. Backed up deep in their own territory with 6:17 they heard the awful sounds of a blocked punt. Giving West St. John the ball on the 8-yard line.
The Rams elusive quarterback Borne called his own number and was successful extending the lead 39-30 with a little over 6:00 left in the game.
St. James desperately needing a play took shots down the field the very next possession. Only to throw an interception that allowed the Rams to take the air out of the game.
Being that the schools are so close and the history of the rivals, this would definitely be remembered by all parties involved.

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University's football program returned to campus with the excitement of its home openerSaturday in the new Yulman Stadium against Georgia Tech.
Despite the New Orleans summer heat, students, alumni, and fans came out to show their support for the Green Wave and welcome its return to campus. Fans were eager to see the new stadium and soak in a new college football experience.
After nearly 40 years of playing off campus, Yulman Stadium offers a chance for Tulane fans to watch their team with a traditional college football atmosphere week in and week out, something the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was unable to provide.
Early in the day, students and alumni gathered in the quad where they tailgated, something previously missing from their football experience.
Sophomore student Spencer noted the change in feel.
Clayton, another local, has watched the football team play in all three stadiums: on campus in old Tulane Stadium, the Superdome, and now Yulman.
Yulman Stadium seats 30,000, where the Superdome can accommodate over 73,000. The more intimate stadium provides an atmosphere in line with other college athletic programs across the country.
Dennis Stargel, a Georgia Tech fan and father of Georgia Tech defensive end Tyler Stargel, liked Tulane's new home field.
Yulman Stadium not only brings football back to campus, it brings higher expectations. In 2013, Tulane's football team finished 7-6 under then second-year coach Curtis Johnson.
Andrew Berkheimer, a Tulane alum and season ticket holder, was excited to see the progress.
There was no lack of excitement among fans to have their football team back home in Uptown.
The excitement continued at kickoff, marking Georgia Tech and Tulane's 49th meeting, although they hadn't played each other in over 30 years.
Tulane forced a turnover deep in Georgia Tech's territory on the first play after the opening kickoff and quarterback Tanner Lee threw the first touchdown pass in Yulman Stadium on a third-down throw to Justyn Shackelford.
By the end of the first quarter, the Green Wave was leading the Yellow Jackets, 14-7, but the momentum wouldn't last.
Georgia Tech would take the lead in the second quarter after two turnovers by Tulane and would remain in the lead for the rest of the game.
Lee was pulled in the third quarter and finished 13 of 24 passing for 173 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions as Tulane fell to Georgia Tech 38-21.
Tulane's 0-2 start to the 2014 season signals that there is work to be done, but its new stadium shows the school's commitment to their football program.

… in Mirror 1/35 Scale
Typical equipment of Soviet armored vehicles (04.2019)
To eliminate duplicate positions, it was decided to place products for a wide or indefinite list of prototypes of domestic armored vehicles in a separate catalog. Information about antennas, active armor, smoke grenades and a number of others has been transferred here.
The catalog will be replenished in working order, it will itself be a source of the formation of subsequent kithographs in pdf-format, but it will not have its own separate edition.
Go to Catalog
Soviet medium tanks T-54/T-55 variants&conversions (10.2016; 04.2019)
Almost 3 years have passed since the publication of the first version of this kitografii.
Second version is considerably reduced. Information about the figures of Soviet/Russian tankers has been removed, because it was created as a separate publication. Nearly 20 pages of reference material previously posted at the end have been demolished.
However, the "book" swelled on the same 20 pages.
The number of represented firms and products increased one and a half times, up to 141 first and up to 800 second.

Pz. Kpfw 38(t) (01.2019)
I present to you the sixth edition of the series "In the mirror 1/35 scale". It again differs from previous issues, although devoted to military topics, but this time the representative of the German military equipment.
This tank Russian designer Iranian customers and Czech manufacturers. These tanks fought in Poland and France, made up a third of the tanks invading the USSR.

Sources of water: fountains, wells, water pumps, hydrants and so on (12.2017)
I present to you the fifth edition of the series "In the mirror 1/35 scale". It's subject matter is unique: it is not a technique or people. This is not a military topic at all.
For fans of dioramas, I gathered information on models of fountains, wells, water pumps and fire hydrants, combining them under a general name: water sources.
Soviet Heavy Tanks Joseph Stalin (11.2017)
Нou are invited to issue another catalog, dedicated, this time, to the Soviet heavy tanks "Joseph Stalin" and the machines based on them. 77 pages on which information about almost 350 products of 94 firms is posted.
As always, the material was formed at the Panzer35 forum with the active participation of colleagues. For which they all my greatest gratitude.
Soviet/Russian Tankmen (03.2017)
I present to you the third edition of the series "In the mirror 1/35 scale". Unlike the previous two, it is not dedicated to machines, but to people. Namely the figures of Soviet and Russian tankmen. The review does not include tank troop figures, for in fact they are infantry. It is possible, someday in the future, they will be added.
As before, the material was formed at the Panzer35 forum with the participation of colleagues. In the future, I'm planning to return to miniatures several times.
Multi-turret Soviet Tanks (01.2017)
I present to you the second publication of the series "In the mirror 1/35 scale". As the name suggests, the publication focuses on multi-turret Soviet tanks: the passion of military the first third of the last century the symbols of power of the Soviet state. The items have been combined, as their selection is poor, despite a whole range of new products.
The materials were developed on Panzer35 forum with active contribution of colleagues. It's them who made it possible to extend the range with rare resin kits .

South Carolina Highway 73
BI-LO 200
List of highways numbered 73
Arkansas Highway 73
U.S. Route 301 in Georgia
South Carolina Highway 73 (Ocean Boulevard) is a former state highway running along the Atlantic coast in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
South Carolina 73 began and ended at US 17 Bus., with the southern terminus at Springmaid Beach and the northern terminus at Briarcliffe Acres.
Ocean Boulevard is a major point during the annual Bi-Lo Marathon; full and half marathon runners head south during the first loop of the course, and for full marathon runners only, they head northbound for the second loop. Together, about nine miles (14 km) of the entire marathon course is run on Ocean Boulevard.

South Carolina i/ˌsaʊθ kærəˈlaɪnə/ is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state is bordered to the north by North Carolina, to the south and west by Georgia across the Savannah River, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.
The Province of South Carolina became a slave society after rice and indigo became established as commodity crops. From 1708, a majority of the population were slaves, many born in Africa.
South Carolina was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation and the eighth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on May 23, 1788. South Carolina became the first state to vote to secede from the Union on December 20, 1860. After the American Civil War, it was readmitted into the United States on June 25, 1868.
South Carolina is the 40th most extensive and the 23rd most populous U.S. state. Its GDP as of 2013 was $183.6 billion, with an annual growth rate of 3.13%. South Carolina comprises 46 counties. The capital and largest city is Columbia with a 2013 population of 133,358; the Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin metropolitan area had a 2013 population of 850,965.

The BI-LO 200 was a former NASCAR Busch Series event held from 1983–2004, and was always run as an accompanying race to the Southern 500. When the Southern 500 was dropped from the schedule and Darlington's Busch Series schedule was reduced to one race, this race was removed in favor of the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway because of the Ferko lawsuit.
Mark Martin led all drivers in race wins with five. Only two other drivers, Harry Gant and Jeff Burton, won multiple BI-LO 200s, with both drivers winning three times.

Indien (1778), often L'Indien, was a frigate built for the U.S. Commissioners in France — Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee — to a design by the French naval architect Jacques Boux. She was laid down early in 1777 by a private shipyard in Amsterdam and launched in February 1778. Apparently she was built with the scantlings and lines of a small 74-gun Third Rate ship of the line but was a frigate in construction. In 1780 the Duke of Luxembourg chartered her to the navy of South Carolina and she sailed as South Carolina.
Her armament consisted of 28 Swedish long 36-pounder guns on her main deck, and 12 long 12-pounders on her forecastle and her quarterdeck. Perhaps her greatest significance is that the marine architect Joshua Humphreys studied her sleek hull and used her lines in designing the United States Navy's first frigates, especially USS Constitution and USS Constellation.
Construction history
Late in the year John Paul Jones sailed for France, hoping to assume command of Indien; but, before his arrival, financial difficulties and opposition from the still-neutral Dutch government, under pressure from Great Britain, had forced the Commissioners to sell the new frigate to Louis XVI, King of France.

Arkansas Highway 73 (AR 73 and Hwy. 73) is a designation for two state highways in South Arkansas. The western route of 18.59 miles (29.92 km) runs from US 278 north to Highway 355. An eastern alignment runs 18.59 miles (29.92 km) from US 67 in east Hope to Arkansas Highway 53.
Western segment
Highway 73 begins in Hempstead County at Highway 355 near Millwood Lake, close to the Howard County line. The route briefly enters Howard County before reentering Hempstead County near Columbus and the Columbus Presbyterian Church. Highway 73 runs along the southern border of the Rick Evans Grandview Prairie Wildlife Management Area past the Grandison D. Royston House before intersecting Highway 195 at Cross Roads. The route continues further southeast through rural country before terminating at US 278.
The route is a low traffic road with less than 1000 vehicles per day (VPD) from its western terminus to the junction with Highway 195. East of the intersection the Average daily traffic (ADT) increases to about 1300 VPD (as of 2010).

U.S. Route 301 (US 301) in the U.S. state of Georgia, travels north–south from the St. Marys River southeast of Folkston to the Savannah River northeast of Sylvania.
The route is signed concurrently with various state highways. It uses SR 4/SR 15 from Florida to Folkston, SR 23 from Folkston to Glennville, and SR 73 from Glennville to the Savannah River southwest of Allendale, South Carolina, except in Sylvania, where much of it is signed with SR 73 Loop. Large portions of US 301 in Georgia are concurrent with US 25.
Florida State Line to Jesup
The route starts at the Florida state line on a bridge over the St. Marys River in eastern Charlton County, and initially travels north as a four-lane highway through Folkston, co-signed with US 1, US 23, and SR 4/SR 15. In Folkston, the road intersects Main Street, which leads to a popular railfanning site on the west side, and is also the western terminus of SR 40 on the east side. One block later, the road intersects Love Street, which is also the southwestern terminus of SR 252, and later is joined by SR 23/SR 121 where another concurrency begins. A 1.33 miles (2.14 km) connecting route begins along the east side to travel southeast towards SR 40. In Homeland, US 1/US 23 turns to the northwest at an interchange where it crosses into Ware County, and initially forms the county line between Ware County and Brantley County, taking SR 4/SR 15/SR 121 with them, while US 23/US 301 heads north into the woods of northeastern Charlton County.

Your little island lees give us shelter from the seas

The sun is sinking awfully fast

Theme / Exhibition
The theme of the Ireland Pavilion is the "Art of Life." The pavilion exhibits rich Celtic art and cultural heritage together. The principal feature of the pavilion is an exhibit of six of the "High Crosses of Ireland." The replicas of these stone monuments were originally created by the National Museum of Ireland 100 years ago and have never been displayed overseas. Towering up to 7 meters tall, these symbols from the past create a powerful impression.
As the replicas are displayed under an illustrated dome, visitors will feel as if they are in Ireland. The constantly changing light and color of the air define the Irish landscape. These beautiful features together with the sound of the Irish countryside are presented in the pavilion's exhibit.
The monastic culture producing the High Crosses began developing in the 15th century along with Christianity. As the remains of Ireland's Golden Age, the crosses are everywhere in the Irish countryside. The introduction of Celtic art full of geometrical patterns, created by taking hints from the sun and nature, is also highly interesting.

What was Gold Rush-era S.F.'s favorite pastime? Place bets
By Gary Kamiya Feb. 13, 2015 Updated: Feb. 13, 2015 3:06 p.m.
Forget Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno, Monte Carlo and Macao: The most gambling-obsessed city of all time was San Francisco during the Gold Rush.
"Gambling was the amusement, the grand occupation of many classes … the life and soul of the place," wrote Frank Soule, John H. Gihon and James Nisbet in the 1855 book "The Annals of San Francisco."
By the spring of 1850, according to Herbert Asbury in "Sucker's Progress: An Informal History of Gambling in America from the Colonies to Canfield," the city had a mind-boggling 1,000 gambling establishments — one for every 25 people.
"No other American community has ever experienced such a carnival of gambling as reigned in the California city during the fabulous days of Forty-Niners," Asbury wrote.
Gambling was a popular pastime in San Francisco even before the Gold Rush. As Rand Richards noted in "Mud Blood and Gold: San Francisco in 1849," Mexican authorities fined a man named Victor Prudon 10 reales in 1840 for allowing gambling in his house. In 1847, the city's first newspaper, the California Star, ran an editorial attacking gambling dens for providing shelter to "escaped fugitives from justice."
But San Francisco's antigambling movement was feeble at best. In early 1848, before gold was discovered, the City Council outlawed gambling and authorized police "to seize for the benefit of the town all the money found on a gambling table where cards are played."
Unmotivated police
Perhaps the town's virtually nonexistent police force decided that trying to seize gamblers' winnings from under their noses would be unwise, or perhaps they themselves were sporting men. For whatever reason, the law was repealed at the very next meeting.
Once the Gold Rush began, trying to stop gambling would have been like trying to dam Niagara Falls. It wasn't surprising that the 49ers gambled like crazy. After all, the entire Gold Rush was one big dice toss. After making the long and arduous journey to California, on which there was no guarantee of survival, wagering one's entire stake on a faro game must have seemed tame.
Add in the fact that virtually the entire city was made up of young men who were far from the censorious eyes of their hometowns, the constant heavy drinking and the fact that management thoughtfully provided scantily clad young women near the gaming tables, and San Francisco's gambling mania seemed almost preordained.
On the square
The largest and most successful gambling resorts were found in the heart of the city, the old Mexican Plaza that had been renamed Portsmouth Square after the U.S. conquest. The entire eastern side of the square, most of the northern and part of the southern were taken up by gambling dens.
The first and most famous of these was the El Dorado, which opened in spring 1848 at Washington and Kearny. At first it was merely a 25-by-40-foot tent, but it was soon replaced by a structure made of rough wood boards for which the operators paid the astonishing rent of $40,000 a year.
The El Dorado's proprietor could afford it because he was raking in big bucks: The joint's daily turnover was said to often exceed $200,000. Other big gambling establishments on the square included the Bella Union, Dennison's Exchange, the Alhambra and the Parker House, where a group of sporting men led by the aptly named Jack Gamble paid even more than the El Dorado — $60,000 a year — to rent the second floor.
The gambling houses lured 49ers not just with their games of chance but with their decor and atmosphere. In an 1852 report by the New York-based Association for the Suppression of Gambling, an anonymous observer claimed that "the gambling saloons of San Francisco are the most splendid in the world" and that "the saloons of London, Havana, New York or New Orleans are far below them in splendor of decoration and magnitude of dealings."
This claim was greatly exaggerated, but for 49ers who were sleeping in squalid rooming houses or were just back from roughing it in the diggings, the brightly lit dens were irresistible.
Life in a 'hell'
A typical "hell," as the gambling houses were called, was a large room with a row of pillars down the middle and a bar at one side, with the gaming tables on the main floor, surrounded by gilded furniture. The high-class houses always featured bands. Chandeliers hung from the ceilings, and the walls were covered with exotic hangings, large mirrors and pictures that one observer described as "French paintings of great merit, but of which female nudity alone forms the subject."
Women, painted or preferably real, were an enormous draw to lonely 49ers, many of whom had not seen the female form for months. One German visitor gushed about a special table in a hell where "a real living, pretty, modest-looking young girl, in a close-fitting black silk dress, her slender fingers adorned with rings," sold tea, coffee and sweets. The Alhambra featured a female violinist who was paid 2 ounces of gold dust to play for an hour a night.
Gambling was not confined to Portsmouth Square. Asbury wrote that "every saloon and hotel bar-room contained two or more tables of Faro, Monte or Chuck-a-Luck, while outside in the muddy streets roamed a horde of free lance Thimble Riggers and Three-Card Monte throwers." Some of those were children: One observer described one as "a precocious little blackguard of 14 or 15," who disdained to play for a bet of less than $100.
Clergy and clerks
The gambling houses were nothing if not democratic. The authors of "Annals" wrote, "Judges and clergymen, physicians and advocates, merchants and clerks, contractors, shopkeepers, tradesmen, mechanics and laborers, miners and farmers, all adventurers in their kind — everyone elbowed his way to the gaming table, and unblushingly threw down his golden or silver stake."
According to the British artist J.D. Borthwick, the hells were frequented by "little urchins, or little scamps rather, 10 or 12 years of age, smoking cigars as big as themselves, with the air of men who were quite up to all the hooks and crooks of this wicked world (as indeed they were), and losing their hundred dollars at a pop with all the nonchalance of an old gambler."
Not surprisingly, cheating was not unknown in the gambling dens, and violence sometimes flared. The seamier side of the hells will be the subject of next week's Portals.

Every corner in San Francisco has an astonishing story to tell. Every Saturday, Gary Kamiya's Portals of the Past will tell one of those lost stories, using a specific location to illuminate San Francisco's extraordinary history — from the days when giant mammoths wandered through what is now North Beach, to the Gold Rush delirium, the dot-com madness and beyond.
