Irvine-based alternative rock band Thrice have once again returned with their seventh record, Major/Minor.

The album is loud and features complex rhythms and melodies but at the same time tends to sound too familiar to previous albums. The sound is very similar and the songs as individual pieces could be placed on any other Thrice album from the last few years and would feel in sync without a noticeable difference. This quality to the music brings mixed feelings as the new songs feel familiar and don’t stray too far from the sound that made Thrice as a band what they are today, at the same time, the new songs also don’t seem to add another layer to the bands music. They seem to be another issue of the same old music, as though an older album had a b-side that was only discovered recently.

From wikipedia:
Ellen Church (September 22, 1904 - August 22, 1965) was the first female flight attendant in America .

Born in Cresco, Iowa on September 22, 1904, Church was a pilot and a nurse. Boeing Air Transit (the predecessor to United Airlines) wouldn't hire her as a pilot, but did take her suggestion to hire nurses as stewardesses in order to calm passengers' fear of flight. She believed that a flight attendant would help convince people that flying is safe.
