# Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting

Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting is a magazine and television program focusing on the art and technique of piecing and quilting quilts. The show was hosted by Liz Porter (Katie Porter’s mother) and Marianne Fons. Both have retired and occasionally make guest appearances on the show. Porter left first and Mary Fons, Marianne's daughter, began to co-host the show with her mother. Gradually, Mary began to host alone with a guest to show a new technique as often as with Marianne. As of 2016, Marianne and Mary do the tips segment, but most shows include either Mary with a guest or David Lose with a guest. The magazine Love of Quilting was first published in 1999 and has been on TV since 2003. Each episode consists of a technique lesson, usually focusing on a single block for a finished quilt, and a tips section of viewer-submitted tips.
In 2006, Fons & Porter was acquired by New Track Media, a company backed by the private equity firm Boston Ventures. In 2014, New Track was sold to F+W Media. F+W filed for bankruptcy in 2019; Love of Quilting was sold to Peak Media Properties.
# Jennie Quigley

Jennie Quigley (August 20, 1850 – March 11, 1936) was a Scottish sideshow performer in the United States. She was billed as "The Queen of Scotland" and "the Smallest Lady in the World" by P. T. Barnum.

## Early life

Jennie Quigley was born in Glasgow, the daughter of James Quigley and Jane Kerr Quigley. She moved to Brooklyn, New York with her mother and brother in 1861.

## Career

Quigley was hired by P. T. Barnum in 1863, while she was still quite young and not finished growing. He publicized her as "the Queen of Scotland" and "the Smallest Woman in the World." Early in her career she was described as being under two feet tall; at age 28, she was said to be 36 inches tall; by the time she retired in 1917, she was 41 inches tall.
Quigley toured with the Lilliputian Comic Opera Company from 1877 until at least 1901, working with other sideshow performers, including fellow little people Commodore Nutt, Charles W. Nestel ("Commodore Foote"), Admiral Dot, and Eliza Nestel ("Queenie Foote"). In 1887 her likeness was featured in advertisements for the "World's Museum" in Boston. After meeting hypnotist "Madame Mozart" in Denver, the two women devised an act together in 1897. In 1933 and 1934, though long retired, she was part of the "Midget Village" exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress exposition, and celebrated her 83rd birthday in a large public gathering, as part of the festivities.
At least one audience member named a child after Jennie Quigley.

## Personal life

Jennie Quigley was initiated in 1876 as a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Chicago. She died in 1936, aged 85 years, in the Chicago home of her nephew, Victor Quigley.
# Operation Kedem

Operation Kedem was an action planned and carried out by Irgun and Lehi forces in July 1948, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war. Its purpose was to capture East Jerusalem, including the Old City. After the first cease-fire of the Arab–Israeli War, which lasted for four weeks, the balance in power in Jerusalem had shifted dramatically. The Jews were now much stronger than the Arabs in the Jerusalem sector. Irgun and Lehi attempts to break through the wall into the Old City failed.

## Operation

The operation was to be carried out by Irgun and Lehi forces on July 8 with help from the Haganah. But it was delayed by David Shaltiel. He told them to first capture the Arab village of Malha. On July 14, 1948, after a fierce battle in the early hours of the morning, the Irgun occupied the village. Several hours later, the Arabs launched a counterattack. Reinforcements arrived and the village was retaken by the Arabs. The Irgun lost 17 men in the battle for Malha, and many were wounded.
The Irgun force commanded by Yehuda Lapidot (Nimrod) was to break through at the New Gate, Lehi to break through the wall stretching from the New Gate and Jaffa Gate, and the Beit Horon Battalion to strike from Mount Zion.
The battle was planned to begin on Shabbat, 20:00 Friday July 16, a day before the second cease-fire of the Arab–Israeli War. The plan went wrong from the beginning and was postponed first to 23:00 and then to midnight. Not until 02:30 did the battle actually begin. The Irgunists managed to break through at the New Gate, but the other forces failed in their missions. At 05:45, Shaltiel ordered a retreat and cessation of hostilities.

# Cadman Plaza

Cadman Plaza is a park located on the border of the Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York City. Named for Reverend Doctor Samuel Parkes Cadman (1864–1936), a renowned minister in the Brooklyn Congregational Church, it is built on land reclaimed by condemnation in 1935 and was named as a park in 1939. The park borders Cadman Plaza West and Cadman Plaza East and the west and east sides of the plaza, respectively.
The Brooklyn War Memorial and William Jay Gaynor Memorial are installed in the park.

## Location

The plaza is bounded by Cadman Plaza East (formerly Washington Street) and Cadman Plaza West (formerly Ferry Road or Fulton Road), and by the Brooklyn Bridge on the north and Tillary Street on the south. East of the park is the Theodore Roosevelt United States Courthouse. South of this park, between Tillary and Johnson Streets, lies the small Korean War Veterans Plaza. South of Johnson, the Kings County Supreme Court Building and Columbus Park, featuring a statue of Christopher Columbus, sit on land formerly used as a station for trolley cars. These parks, together with Walt Whitman Park, form a mall from Brooklyn Borough Hall to the Brooklyn Bridge. In 2015, a "Brooklyn Strand" was proposed to unite these parks.
# John Allen (minister)

Baptist minister John Allen (ca. 1741/2 – sometime in the 1780s), although not well-connected with colonial patriots in British North America, had an enormous impact on re-igniting the tensions within the Empire in 1772 when he mentioned the Gaspée Affair and the Royal Commission of Inquiry seven times in his Thanksgiving Day sermon at Second Baptist Church in Boston. This sermon, An Oration, Upon the Beauties of Liberty, Or the Essential Rights of the Americans, was reprinted seven times in four different cities, making it the sixth most-popular pre-independence pamphlet in British America.

## Old World Troubles

In 1764, at age 23, John Allen was ordained and installed as the pastor of the Particular Baptist Church in Petticoat Lane, near Spitalfields, London. Like most Baptist ministers, Allen had to earn his livelihood through secular work. He opened a linen-drapers shop in Shoreditch. When his business failed, Allen's debt grew, and he spent some time incarcerated at the King's Bench Prison. When the Petticoat Lane congregation dismissed him he briefly found a new pastorate at Broadstairs, near Newcastle. But in 1767 he was dismissed by the Broadstairs congregation, and in 1768 he returned to London as a schoolteacher. By January 1769 he was again in financial trouble, and he was tried at the Old Bailey for forging a £50 note. Although he was acquitted, this trial destroyed his reputation, and its stigma followed him to Boston.

## New World Success

In 1770, Allen published The Spirit of Liberty. Already showing his radical political views and his sympathies for the developing American cause, this pamphlet argued for the return of John Wilkes to Parliament and defended the rights of the individual. Most chroniclers believe that he left London for New York in 1771 though Allen did not re-appear in the historical record until 1772. At that time, the Second Baptist Church in Boston was searching for a new teaching elder following Pastor John Davis's leaving due to health issues. Davis knew of Allen and made it clear before he died that he wanted Allen to preach at Second Baptist. The church committee knew something of Allen's reputation in England and so was reluctant to invite him to speak. After some debate, they asked him to give the annual Thanksgiving Day Address. Elder Allen remained as a "visiting pastor" for just nine months, from November 1772 to July 1773. The Second Baptist Church never extended a permanent call to him.

## Early Death

As stated above, Allen was not well-connected with other colonial patriots and we do not hear from him again. Some argue that he continued to publish pamphlets into the 1780s; most sources placed his death at age 33 in 1774. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography dated his death between 1783-88. Bumsted and Clark argued that it could be as late as 1789.

# A Couple of Joes

A Couple of Joes is an American television variety program that was broadcast locally in New York City beginning in August 1949. It ran on ABC from October 27, 1949, until July 12, 1950. The program featured comedy, music, and participation by viewers.

## Content

Episodes of A Couple of Joes included singing, instrumental music, and segments with prizes for viewer participation. The latter included bringing in items like a mustache cup and high-button shoes; viewers calling in musical requests, hoping to stump the two Joes by naming tunes that they could not play; and hosts calling viewers with quiz questions.

## Personnel

Initially, Joe Bushkin and Joe Rosenfield were co-hosts of the program. Others featured included Joan Barton, Allyn Edwards, Beryl Richards, and Pat Harrington. Music was provided by Milton DeLugg's orchestra in 1949 and Mike Reilly's orchestra and Bobby Sherwood's orchestra in 1950. By the first episode of 1950, Warren Hull had replaced Rosenfield on the show.
The show also included Morgan, a basset hound who belonged to the producer. Life magazine featured the dog in a story and photographs in its March 27, 1950, issue, reporting that Morgan was a "3-year-old pedigreed basset hound called J. J. Morgan, though his real name is Sir Guy Elwell". On A Couple of Joes, a voice supposed to be that of Morgan made jokes while people talked and bands played. The article in Life described those comments as "a blend of critical disdain worthy of George Jean Nathan and Queen Victoria". The dog also appeared on other TV programs.

## Production

The program originated at WJZ-TV in New York City and was produced by World Video, Incorporated. Producers were Ed Kenner and Allen Kent, and Bobby Doyle was the director. Sponsors included Blatz Brewing Company. Tom Shirley was the announcer.

## Critical reception

A review of the program's August 19, 1949, episode in the trade publication Billboard compared the broadcast to "a chaotic dress rehearsal". Reviewer June Bundy commented, "Musical portions of the show were vastly superior to the giveaway portions", describing the latter as "all very confusing". She complimented Bushkin for his performances on the piano and his work as master of ceremonies. In contrast, she wrote that Rosenfield's "harassed expression, nervous mannerisms and heavy-handed attempts at comedy were embarrassing to both cast and viewer".
# Foodini the Great

Foodini the Great is an early CBS children's television series. A 15-minute puppet show, it was performed live at 6:30 p.m. Monday to Friday from August 23, 1948, to June 23, 1951.
The show was originally titled The Adventures of Lucky Pup, but Foodini the magician and his assistant Pinhead proved to be so popular the show was renamed.
There were Foodini comic books from Holyoke Publishing, as well as records, greeting cards, toys, and magic sets. The comic books are named The Great Foodini, Adventures of Foodini the Great, and Pinhead and Foodini.
The UCLA Film and Television Archive holds several kinescope recordings of this series, including a few episodes from 1948.
# Garment District (clothing retailer)

The Garment District is a clothing retailer in Cambridge, Massachusetts that houses an eclectic array of vintage and contemporary apparel as well as Boston Costume, a theatrical and retail costume shop. The Garment District labels itself "An Alternative Department Store", and is also known for its By The Pound (currently $2 a pound) clothing section.

## History

The Garment District began as an offshoot of Harbor Textile Waste Company, which was founded in the 1940s and supplied "wiping cloths" (i.e., rags) to smokestack industries, such as sugar manufacturing. Around 1980 (sources differ), as demand for used clothing began to rise, Dollar-A-Pound was opened, where, on Saturdays, one could buy clothing by weight. Instead of cutting up garments for wiping cloths, they were now sold as fashion, though without racks or price tags. At that time, finding large quantities of vintage 1940s and '50s clothing at Dollar-A-Pound was commonplace.
In 1986, as demand for used and vintage clothing continued to rise, The Garment District was born. Today, By The Pound (affectionately known as "the pile") operates seven days a week, and new, used, and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories are sold on traditional-style racks. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of clothing are still sorted on site.
In 2004, The Garment District was under threat of closure as pressure to turn its buildings into residential condos nearly succeeded. However, with help from the City of Cambridge, among others, The Garment District was able to acquire the buildings.
In 2007, The Garment District merged with Boston Costume, which formerly operated in Boston's Chinatown.
