Here I thought that I would have to wait for next summer for True Blood season 4 to satiate my need to obsess over things, but HBO once again fulfills my needs with their new series 'Boardwalk Empire'. I already had an existing obsession with the 1920's, and although I'm not a huge gangster movie fan, with a show set during in Atlantic City during Prohibition, I am hooked by the opening credits.I love the scenes on the Boardwalk with all the vintage ads and shops. In one scene, Nucky Thompson passes by a storefront that had preemies (prematurely born babies) on display, and for 25 cents admission one can go in and see them in incubators. This reminded me of an episode of 'History Detectives' (PBS) where a woman claims to be one of the babies displayed in incubators in the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. The baby incubator was invented around 1890, and before its use to help premature babies, these precious under-weight infants would usually die . As far as I can tell, babies have been displayed in incubators since the 1904 World's Fair (maybe even before that).
It is seems so strange (and maybe a little unethical) to have human beings on display, but at the turn of the last century their were many attractions that displayed human beings. There were the sideshow 'freaks' in the carnivals, and most famously Coney Island. In one of my favorite blogs 'Old Picture of the Day', one theme of the week was Coney Island. There the author put up old pictures taken from Coney Island's heyday. One of them was of a sideshow and another showed a display of native Filipinos. Boardwalk Empire actually touched upon this in a later episode. Apparently at this time, there were many exhibits like this around the world called 'human zoos'. In the same episode of the 'History Detectives' they mentioned a pygmie man named Ota Benga who lived at the Bronx Zoo in the monkey exhibit for a while before people were upset and sent him to live in an orphanage.

Here’s the workout I put our test group through on Friday. It’s a combo for the upper and lower body, similar to what I’ll be doing when I move into “on-season” maintenance training next week.

ReplyDeleteger Beats at a Barnes & Noble. The mics both worked, but they weren't as clear as what I get on my in-ears from Sony or V-Moda. The bigger Beats were much cleaner than the smaller Beats, but at $350 someone must have been bluntin' when they slapped that sticker on.Over-ears are underserved for the smartphone category because they somewhat defy the small, portable nature of the phone category. I don't think I could walk around with the Beats on my nugget.
These come with two cables. One with the mic and volume control for speaking when you answer a call. The other cable is a standard 18 cord for listening to music.I own a pair and was going to return them. I had a friend ask me if my equalizer was turned on. I checked and it was turned on. I turned it off and the sound was much better than I have heard in similar headphones.Sennheiser makes very good studio quality headphones. It all depends on your taste and budget.
There is nothing that is developed and sold by Monster Cable that is a "good selection". Their.Aliexpressite products are better than the cheap stuff, of course, but they are vastly overpriced. Look at Sennheiser, Ultimate Ears, and Shure for starters. You can get headphones that are as good as the Beats for cheaper or headphones that perform significantly better for the same price. That's up to you.__________________

he way first, since I don't have much to say about it—the immediate reaction from the American public was right on the money. It sucked, in other words, but you don't need me to say that. I have space to fill, though, so here are some of the best reactions that were posted within five minutes of the singing of the National Anthem:budkennedy: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Christina Aguilera was unable to accommodate all the words of the National Anthem."jasonmustian: "Wow.
