U.S.S. Grandview Ship Hotel
Lincoln Highway
Mayor Murphy has built a second model for the Miniature Railroad & Village in as many years. The S.S. Grand View Ship Hotel, affectionately known as The Ship, sat perched on the side of the Allegheny Mountains, 17 miles west of Bedford, Pennsylvania along side the Lincoln Highway. Dutch immigrant, Herbert Paulson purchased the 13-acre site in 1923 for $3,200 and opened his first roadside stand, but this was not an ordinary roadside stop. At an elevation of 2464 feet one could view 3 states and 7 counties from this point.
Mr. Paulson, who originally worked as a tool and die make in Pittsburgh, received some resistance from state officials who believed there was a real danger that anything he constructed on this site might slide off the mountain. His determination won out when told the state "It's my property, either you let me build it or you buy the property!"
The very next year, Paulson enlarged his roadside stand using a castle theme to build a new 4-story structure. The three floors, which hung down the mountainside, featured hotel rooms and vehicle storage while the top floor included an observation deck restaurant and gift shop. Three I-beams installed under the roadside and 18 steel piers anchored 30 feet into the ground held the building to the ledge.
Some may have been satisfied with this feat, but Paulson decided to enlarge again and began to imagine a ship perched on the side of the mountain and how the fog in valleys below looked very much like the sea. The "Captain" hired two men who happened to be hunting nearby, Emilo Rosso and Louis Franci and together they started constructing the Ship Hotel over top of the Castle. Contractors were brought in from Turtle Creek to set 63.5 tons of steel in place for the base. The cost of this ambitious endeavor was $125,000. Paulson also added a 5th floor for fourteen 'first class' hotel rooms. The lower floors were now called 'second class' and steerage.
The Ship quickly became famous - a landmark along the nations first highway. Her log boasted of the famous celebrities who stayed there: Clara Bow, George Burns, Joan Crawford, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Greta Garbo, Lillian Gish, Tom Mix, J.P. Morgan George Raft and Mary Pickford along with visitors from every state and 72 foreign countries. For locals it was 'The' fancy place to go for dinner, proms and other important celebrations.
Business along old Route 30, including the Ship, suffered dramatically as more and more drivers began using the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the family eventually sold the famous landmark after Herbert Paulson's death in 1973. Though the new owners tried various new gimmicks for attracting tourists, the glorious days when the famous filled the hotel rooms seemed to be over. The Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor tried unsuccessfully to purchase the property from the current owners and the building sat abandoned and falling into disrepair. Finally in the middle of the night October 2001 witnesses reported seeing a ball of fire on the mountainside as the Ship burnt to the ground. Nine fire companies responded to the call.

Uber's new ride-ordering feature debuts in 30 countries, with more on the way.
A deal has been reached between Westchester County and ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft to begin legally operating in the area later this week.
Uber wants to increase its potential user base by making it easier for you to request rides for other people.
Talking about grandmas, Uber is marketing the new feature as ideal for "senior loved ones", claiming its research showed users were clamoring after the feature to help older family members to get around.
When users ask to be picked up at somewhere besides their current location, the app will give them the option to designate the ride for someone else. You can select the rider from your address book, set their location, and request a ride on their behalf. The message will also mention who is paying for the ride.
As soon as Uber assigns a driver, the rider receives a text message with all the necessary details-estimated time of arrival, vehicle model, plate number, driver's name, his contact details, and a link where you can track your driver's location.
The change is a result of behaviors Uber was seeing in the app, as well as rider requests, Uber product manager Kyle Miller told Business Insider. Riders will even be able to contact the driver directly via Uber's signature anonymous contact info. They'll only show up when it will save the rider time and the rider can decline any pickup suggestion.
Uber recently pledged to be friendlier to its employees and its drivers. That means you will no longer have to play coordinator when you order a ride for someone else. Staring at the Lyft app as your driver circles the block, navigating one-ways or fighting traffic, to get to your pickup location. Though a convenience feature, it is also one that keeps the mustachioed ridesharing company in step with competitor Uber, which introduced a similar feature a couple years ago.

Geoff's Norwegian Great-Great-Grandma Olson brought this tradition, and recipe, with her from Norway to this new land many years ago. Kringla is a "nordic pretzel" of sorts made of flour, sour cream, sugar, butter...need I go on?
I've pretty much decided it's worth making just for the smell in the house, which is good since that's the only part of Kringla I can enjoy. I drooled, smelled, touched, and wished that my body hadn't decided to totally reject wheat lately. If not for the wedding I would have readily sacrificed a week of sickness to eat it. Alas, there was more of this seductively sweet smelling bread for others...but not for long.
Grandma Olson's Kringla
1 1/2 C. Sugar; 1 Tbs. butter;
1 egg; 2 C. Sour Cream; 1 tsp. Soda;
4 C. flour; 1/2 tsp. salt; vanilla
Chill overnight. Then roll w/ hands on bread board into rolls the size of pencils & form into figure 8's or circles. Bake @ 350. Watch carefully. Bake until light brown.
IMPORTANT: Geoff's madre encouraged baking at 350, not 425...
NOTE: Any Carroll relation reading this is obligated to share additional words of Kringla wisdom with your adoring public in the comment section of this post.
Here are a few documented moments of the day's adventures at Carroll headquarters.
yesterday of Geoff with his brothers and dad. He comes from good stock. Just sayin'.
I love the above photos of my niece and nephew, along with the several dozen others I took of them today....
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

"The role of IBM Master Inventor is both an honor and an important responsibility reserved for leading inventors in our company whose talents, insights and contributions are not only exemplary, but critical for IBM's continued leadership and growth in Intellectual Property."
— Bluepedia
Innovations that lead to lasting solutions
By Steven Lingafelt
I am Steven Lingafelt and I am a Master Inventor at IBM. I have been inventing since I was a young boy, which I guess, is part of the reason I became an engineer. There are many roles and jobs for engineers in many different work environments and I was fortunate to have been selected to work at IBM. Over the years, I have enjoyed working in a variety of jobs, ranging from computer performance analytics, hardware development, people management, to, most recently cyber security.
One advantage derived from IBM's scope of business is that you can move between vastly different organizations (as if you had moved from one company to another) while retaining the benefits of staying within the same company (such as your formal and informal network, etc.). I have used this to my advantage in the invention space, as ideas and approaches within one part of IBM can be modified and applied anew to problems in a different part of IBM.
I think of myself as primarily an engineer – solving problems, and in the course of problem solving, some of the ideas are novel, never before created. I am fortunate that IBM has provided a method to express my inventive creativity by submission of patents. I currently have about 135 patents. IBM provides a small award for patents submitted and over the years, I have used the extra money for various family vacations.
Because, as I have moved from organization to organization seeking interesting jobs and opportunities, each area being significantly different than other areas, the subjects of my patents vary broadly. One of my first patents described a method to determine the loading of a Local Area Network (LAN), which came as a result of inventing a new tool for the product development team in their testing of an IBM product. Later, I helped create a collection of patents which are applied to semi-conductor chips, as we integrated multiple different functions onto the same chip. After choosing to move from a network hardware development team into cyber security, I helped create a number of patents for a wide variety of inventions which improved the security of our products or services.
An important aspect of inventing at IBM is that invention and innovation are very rarely, solely a single person's efforts. Problems are complex and often require collaboration to solve. I have found that patenting ideas is similar; a person is more effective if they are part of an invention team. All of my patents are joint with other IBMers. Working as part of a team has many advantages, but I consider the opportunity to work with pleasant, smart people, collectively working to describe a novel idea to be one of the highlights of my day.
Over the years, I have taught classes on how to invent and I have both led and have been a member of invention teams and today I am a member of several invention teams. These teams meet periodically and brainstorm ideas or work on specific problem areas. After the idea is committed to "paper", it is reviewed by a peer team and IBM patent attorneys. If the idea has merit as a patent for IBM, it moves through several processing steps, and typically resulting in the filing of a patent application by IBM, with notation of the inventors' names. Thus, if you google my name, you will see some of my patents.
At IBM, participation in the patent process is a way to express your creativity, which results in minor fame (you can tell your friends and relatives you have a patent) and additional compensation. Participation is voluntary, but to encourage participation, one can take classes on "how to invent" and mentors are available for both one-on-one and group sessions. I typically mentor about half a dozen people at any one time. I have found that even if people do not think of themselves as inventors creating patents, almost all people are. They just need a little help in articulating their creativeness into a standard form (call a patent application). IBM is in the business of innovation, so it stands ready to help you take this step.
Steven Lingafelt is a Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM.
The IBM Master Inventor series is a collection of articles that describes an IBM Master inventor, the many ways IBM supports these inventors, the motivation behind their inventions and patents and also advice and guidance for buddy inventors who may be looking at IBM for their careers. Stay tuned as we bring to you the experiences of these unique talents at IBM.

Has acne stopped you from doing what you love in life?
I know how that feels.
Fresh out of beauty school and on my way to becoming a cosmetic tattoo artist, I remember feeling the pressure to look a certain way. After trying seemingly everything under the sun to control acne, I left the beauty industry for almost 5 years. During that time, I immersed myself in all things health and wellness. I traveled the country seeking answers for how to bring myself back to the health I longed for.
This book is based on almost a decade of trial and error, experimenting with my own body, and finally discovering what works.
If you struggle with a skin condition, I know how badly you want to heal. I want to share ALL I have got on the topic with you, in hopes of helping curb your frustrations as you heal your skin.
This book is a guide, NOT a blueprint, to encourage you to tune into your body's unique wisdom and find a pace of healing that works for YOU!
By sharing what has specifically worked for me, I have confidence that you will begin to find what works for you too!

The airport in Geneva (still sometimes called Cointrin Airport) is the official international airport of Switzerland's second-largest city. As the airport is located outside of the city on the Swiss-French border, it has been split into different sections. The French side - for passengers traveling to and from France - is coded GGV while the Swiss side is coded GVA.
When traveling to Chamonix, you will most likely end up on the French side. As Alps2Alps is a transfer service that operates in all major countries making up the Swiss Alps area we know the best route from Geneva to Chamonix. Weather permitting, you should be at your resort within about an hour.
Chamonix is the name of an area found at the base of Mont Blanc. Chamonix itself is located in France, but it falls just on the border of Italy and Switzerland too. The entire area offers breathtaking panoramic views and a historic town outside of its main attractions- ski resorts.
Our private Chamonix – Geneva transfer service isn't just cost effective. All of our drivers are courteous and friendly. We want you to have a comfortable transfer every time.
Booking a private airport transfer from Geneva Airport? Not interested in lugging around heavy ski equipment or paying sky-high prices for local rentals? Alps2Alps has one of the best ski equipment rentals services around with a price as much as 50% less than local competitors.
Best of all, we bring the equipment to you. Make your reservations in advance and everything you need to head out on the slopes will be there at your resort when you are.
No matter what kind of holiday or vacation you have mapped out, Alps2Alps can help you get to your destination safely and efficiently. When you arrive at the airport we'll be there waiting to pick you up. When you are ready to leave Chamonix, we will be there on time to transfer you back to Geneva Airport.
However, we also offer private transfer service to nearly every ski domain and resort in the Swiss Alps. Whether you want to head off to Flaine for its historic sites, Megeve for ski challenges at all levels, or Saint Gervais for a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere we can get you where you need to go. If you don't see where you want to go listed on our website, please feel free to give us a call.

Spinal Decompression is Safe and Effective, Non-Surgical Relief
Spinal Decompression FAQ's
Is it safe?
Yes. The decompression is produced by a FDA approved; computer-controlled device using forces that are usually about 50%-65% of the patient's body weight, and therefore well within safe limits.
Is it painful?
No. Decompression force is always set within the patient's pain tolerance. In fact, most patient's comment that it "feels good." There are cases where patients are sore after the treatment. This is usually temporary, and is a result of the necessary healing process. In the rare case that a patient is sore after treatment, this discomfort typically reduces with continued treatment and tissue healing.
Will it work?
Individual results vary based on the severity of each patient's condition; however, decompression is effective in about 84% of patients. Drinking at least a half-gallon of water per day will enhance the re-hydration process within the discs.Dr. Corey will also recommend some nutritional supplements that will aid in the healing process.
How many times will I have to come?
Usually about 20 sessions are required to produce the desired results. Accomplishing the decompression in a relatively short period of time is important to appropriately heal the injured disc. This may mean that sessions are done 3-4 days a week for 4-6 weeks. This may seem frequent, but is sometimes necessary to produce the optimal results.
How much does it cost?
Your cost will depend on your response to care. Please call our office for exact figures, but for your reference the typical cost for this therapy ranges between $1200 - $2500. Remember, payment plans are always available.
Do I need an MRI or X-Rays?
Maybe. It varies case by case, but having an MRI or X-Rays is preferred. If you've already had them done recently, bring copies with you to your first appointment. If you've never had an MRI or X-Rays , we'll discuss your clinical need with you after your examination. (MRI's and X-Rays are not available at our facility, but are referred to local radiology centers.)
Spinal Disc Decompression Therapy using our Triton® DTS system manufactured by the Chattanooga Group, is a safe and alternative treatment designed to help relieve your nagging back, neck, or referral pain such as sciatica. Clinical studies of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy are reporting that a high percentage of patients show significant reduction of pain. A percentage reports the elimination of pain. Thousands of people across the country are enjoying the benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy. We are eager to help you learn if you are a candidate for this treatment method.
Spinal Decompression Therapy using our Triton DTS table is a safe and effective treatment for pain without the risks associated with surgery, anesthesia, infection, injections, or prescription medication. As you imagine, decompression therapy is rapidly gaining popularity due to its exceptional results treating chronic back pain without surgery.
Simply described, this method of treatment uses a therapeutic table that is connected to a computer, to electronically stretch and decompress your spinal structures. You rest on the table while a padded harness focuses the gentle force along your spinal column. This decompresses your spine - specifically the intervertebral discs and joints and stretched your spinal muscles - the three structures that produce most of your pain.
Prior to beginning treatments, we evaluate you to determine if you are a candidate. Your medical history, x-rays, CT/ MRI scans are carefully reviewed. If you are a candidate for therapy, an individual treatment plan is created for your specific needs. A typical plan may be between 10 to 30 treatments over the course of 5-7 weeks. It is important to complete your treatment plan - and thus the full healing process- even if you start to feel improvement early on. It is not uncommon to experience a significant reduction in pain early in your treatments.
At the beginning of each session, you are fitted with a comfortable harness designed to offer optimal decompression. You are fully clothed, and our specially trained technicians will make sure that you are properly positioned for comfort, safety and effectiveness. The computer is programmed in accordance with your specific treatment plan, and your session commences. Additionally, you are in complete control and can shut down the treatment session at any time if discomfort should occur.
During each session, you experience multiple cycles of treatment, which may take 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Each cycle takes between 3 to 5 minutes. The equipment is designed to apply precisely-controlled tension along the axis of your spinal column, creating decompression of the intervertebral discs. The process is fully automated and administered by a computer.
During the treatment cycles, you may feel some relief of the pressure in the area where your pain exists. During this time, your body is responding by flooding the area with valuable oxygen, blood, nutrients which help promote your body's natural healing process.
Your treatments sessions are typically both comfortable and relaxing. At the end of your session, you're ready to head home. Most patients benefit and enjoy their treatments.

There's a newer, sleeker iPad in town, which for many, means it's time to throw their old garbage iPad into the street while running to the nearest Apple store.
The only problem is that the shiny new iPad Air will cost you between $479 and $929 depending on what features and data storage you choose. Thankfully there are a few ways to get money for your old iPad to put towards your new one. Or, you know, your bills.
If you can get to a Target store before Nov. 9, it's your best bet. You can trade in a working iPad of any model for a Target gift certificate of $200 or more. You are guaranteed at least $200 before Nov. 9 and the gift certificate can be used for any Target merchandise, Target spokesperson Erin Conroy told The Huffington Post. If you like Target and can get there in the next few days this is without a doubt your best option.
After Nov. 9 you can still trade your old iPad in, but will no longer be guaranteed $200. This promotion is only available in stores. Target will also give you a $25 gift card if you buy an old iPad Mini for $299.
If you're not a Target fan or won't be able to sell your iPad until after Nov. 9, you have other options. Here are a few of the best:
You can trade your old iPad in for Amazon credit. How much money you'll get depends on what kind of iPad you have and what condition it's in. Amazon will give you between $54 and $115 for a 64 GB first generation iPad with WiFi and 3G, depending on what shape it's in. You can get between $247 and $302 for a 32 GB fourth generation iPad with WiFi.
Walmart will give you a Walmart gift card for your old iPads. You can get $90 for a working 64 GB first generation iPad with WiFi, or $180 for a working 32 GB iPad 3 with WiFi, for example. You don't have to use the gift card for a new iPad, but you do need to spend it at Walmart.
Apple has its own trade-in program where you can get an Apple gift card for an old Apple device. They'll ask a bunch of questions about your device's condition and what components you're including in your trade-in, so it's hard to say how much money you'll get for your iPad. For example, Apple will give you $50 for a non-water damaged, fully functioning 64 GB first generation iPad that has never been engraved. Did you get all that? It's complicated, but you can use your new Apple gift card on anything Apple makes, if you want to trade your old iPad in for a new MacBook Air.
Gazelle, a company that exclusively exists to buy back old electronics, certainly doesn't guarantee you $200 for your iPad, but it will do something no other company will: give you real money. When you sell to Gazelle, you'll get paid in the form of a check, an Amazon gift card, or via PayPal. Your choice.
Gazelle will pay you $70 for a 64 GB first generation iPad with WiFi in good condition and $240 for a 32 GB fourth generation iPad with WiFi in good condition.

Lincoln Launches New Ad Strategy: Hip-Hop Is Out, 'Likable Luxury' Is In
Many marketers rely on hip-hop and bling to appeal to black consumers. Ford Motor Co.'s Lincoln luxury brand is taking a different approach.
Consider the new spokesperson for the MKX, Lincoln's first entry in the compact crossover wagon market pioneered by the Lexus RX 330. Lincoln has chosen Amsale Aberra, a 52-year-old couture wedding gown designer -- and a native of Ethiopia -- for a commercial to introduce the model.

This weekend just flew by-thankfully. My little ones are still sick. Sick like Caleb has stained the carpet and Stella has doubled her weight in phlegm. Ewww! The tree is still not up.Lights? Nope. Christmas card picture taken? Not yet!
Friday did NOT go as planned. My iPhone died. Not sure how. The guy at the 'Genius Bar' said it was undiagnosed hardware failure. My warranty expired nearly 3 months ago. So I ended up with a refurb. While I was doing all of that I missed our boro's Light Up Night. I missed my Noah on the Firetruck with Santa! I hadn't backed up the phone since September so I lost some numbers and all of my photo's since then. But I'm really grateful to still have the last text messages from Manda.
Tim and I went to the Christmas Banquet for the new company he works for. It was nice even though we sat with a hole table full of people we don't know. They had drawings for prizes and I won! Some company logo gear and a $25 giftcard for Fandango.com.Tim won too.Logo gear and a PF Changs gift card. Date night!!! Oh! My logo gear is a luggage tag. I hope it's a sign we get to go away for the conference again.This time it's in New Orleans!
Time for bed.............time to end this weekend.

VENTURA (CBSLA.com) — A group of Ventura women who went all-in on a $37,000 diamond necklace as part of an experiment reunited recently to talk about their multi-faceted relationship to and with one another.
The women explained they purchased the necklace they named Jewelia after Julia Child 10 years ago. A recent appraisal of the necklace revealed its worth to be $42,000.
Every month, each woman proves that it's not just diamonds that are a girl's best friend; each woman takes a turn wearing the necklace and follows a set of rules as part of their mission to create a sisterhood that raises money for charities.
Paul Magers first introduced audiences to the group 10 years ago. It was only fitting he reunite with the group now.
The group told Magers they make it a point to share Jewelia with friends and strangers regularly, and claim that more than 5,000 people have worn it so far; it has even dazzled the necks of celebrities such as Kevin Costner, Dick Van Dyke and Kathy Ireland.
The necklace is taken to a jeweler for cleaning and repairs each month before being passed along to the next person.
Throughout the years, several life events such as the loss of a husband and open-heart surgery has created a stronger bond than the women ever imagined.
"I expected to make friends, but now I have all these sisters and really do operate a lot like a family," Dale Muegenburg said.
In fact, their story has inspired the lives of other women across Southern California. In Santa Barbara, one woman inherited a necklace and developed a similar group with 12 of her girlfriends.
"We went down a road less traveled each and every one of us," said Roz McGrath. "I think when opportunity knocks to do something different, don't be afraid. Go for it."
In 2008, their story became a book titled "The Necklace," which was published in 19 countries and is in production to become a movie.
According to the women, Jewelia will be passed down to their future generations to continue raising awareness for local charities.
"The bottom line is sharing and not getting held up on possessions and things and giving back," said Tina. "Life is short, give back. You give it away, it comes back to you."
To date, Jewelia has raised over $500,000 for local, national and international nonprofit charities.

2016 bmw 3 series hatchback
As all our readers know, here at Up and Coming Cars, love BMW. And Mercedes. And Porsche. Actually, every car made in Germany looks like the right car. Why? Why not? They are fast, elegant, and exciting, all at the same time. But, from time to time, we can find the exceptions.
The 2016 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback and the two models that are born under its badge are quite boring. They aren't bad, or even mediocre. They are well-built, are agile, and delivers a premium, luxurious experience to both driver and passengers. But what's wrong? From our point of view, the 328i xDrive SULEV and the 335i xDrive are not truly exciting as their close sibling.
Nevertheless, we are committed to sharing the specs and features, which are, in essence, what allows the reader to have a realistic impression of the car. But, we must say that this novel hatchback presentation is quite a surprise coming from BMW. While these two models aren't fully engaged with the hatchback philosophy.
Let's see all the features offered by the 2016 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback.
Powertrain and Specs
While the "Gran Turismo" badge could make us think in high-performance vehicles, these ones aren't exactly that. Now, as we mentioned before, 2016 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback offers two trims: the 328i xDrive SULEV and the 335i xDrive. The first one packs a turbocharged DOHC 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine while the most expensive 335i features a turbocharged DOHC 3.0 L 6-cylinder powerplant. Both are inline layouts.
In numbers, we get 240 hp at 5000 RPM and 255 lb-ft of maximum torque at 1250 RPM for the smaller inline-4. The bigger powerplant produces up to 300 hp at 5800 RPM and 300 lb-ft at 1300 RPM. The fuel efficiency is rated at 22/34 mpg for the smaller engine and 20/30 mpg for the more powerful one. These quite powerful engines get an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting. Also, all-wheel-drive capabilities come as standard.

Design and Comfort to Excel
While the mechanical specs are good but quite boring, is at design and comfort terms where the 2016 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback and its two models make the difference. The sporty hatchback form was smartly designed for high practicability, adding plenty of space inside. But, in the rear, the hatchback line cut some valuable head and cargo space. Besides that, it looks and feels awesome.
The Sports Line package, which was an option during previous years, is now included as standard. This pack adds to the two trims available several visual enhancements, like sports seats on the front and gloss black exterior trim. Also, the 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback enjoy of 18-inch wheels as standard for its 2016 edition. These alloy wheels are wrapped by 225/45 tires.
Now, distinctions have to be made. The 328i xDrive feature 8-way power driver's and passengers' seats, leatherette upholstery, sports front seats, remote keyless entry, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, leather steering wheels, a 9-speaker 205-watt-powered audio system with subwoofer.
On the other hand, the more expensive 335i xDrive offers a lot more on both exterior and interior features. The Harman/Kardon premium audio system with a 16-speaker setup is found inside the cockpit, for example. But in general, both trims are well provided for convenience items. Also, both trims feature plenty of cutting-edge elements in terms of safety.
The Bottom Line
The 2016 3 Series Gran Turismo Hatchback do offer two powerful models with plenty of elegance and comfort, but at the same time, it lacks the athletic and exciting spirit of BMW. The design is quite a novelty but isn't the style of the maker.
The prices start at US$49.395.

DescriptionSassicaia 2009
Tenuta San Guido
Bottle (12)
"The 2009 Sassicaia is unusually big, rich and opulent. Layers of fruit saturate the palate as the 2009 explodes from the glass with a heady melange of dark berries, plums, menthol, licorice and new leather. This is an especially racy Sassicaia." (94pts Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #201, Jun 201)
"Showing a heavier gait, the 2009 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a bold and determined wine that boasts rich extraction and a substantial phenolic base. I'm told that this is one of the richest expressions ever produced and it definitely shows. Brooding and muscular, this Sassicaia reveals broad shoulders and deep footprints. On the nose, it offers heavy aromas of dark fruit, plum, blackberry, leather, spice, tobacco and grilled herb. At the back are tarry notes of resin and smoke. This vintage saw a stunning set of ideal conditions ranging from a humid spring that built water reserves, a hot summer that kept ripening on track and a cool pre-harvest period with deep shifts between day and nighttime temperatures for pronounced aromas. The wine shows substantial richness and opulence with well-managed tannins and pretty bursts of freshness. There is still a lot of life left within to carry it forward throughout the years." (95 pts. Monica Larner, RobertParker.com #219, June 2015)

Back in the early 70s I did some minor local competing just for the hell of it. I would go with friends to Chicago Heights, IL to the school of Ray "The Chicago Tiger" Cooper. Cooper is a legendary early competitor on the regional scene who was also one of the early students of John Keehan. Like Keehan, Cooper eventually changed his name to Tolo-naa, reflecting his African origins and traditions. Later N'ganga, a Ki-Kongo word, a title that is earned and presented by one's community usually granting leadership and Mfundishi, a Swahili word means masters of arts, were both added to his name as honorific titles.
Tolo-Naa's school would host seminars on tournament competition. He has always had a commitment to teaching and is one of the best. In the 4 hours I was there I felt I left prepared for some serious battle. He was a patient but stern teacher in my memory very soft-spoken and remains so to this day. There has always been a quiet, peaceful aura of power around him.
He was one of my first interviews when I started working on the three two years ago. I was happy to reconnect with him and to see he how he had evolved out of the external martial arts and become one with the internal systems, becoming a devoted student of Prof. Huo Chi-Kwang.
Nganga Mfundishi Tolo-Naa began studying martial arts when he was twelve. He was first taught by his brother, an Army Ranger who had served in Korea. He later met and became a student of John Keehan when he attended a shiai at his school.
Tolo-Naa competed in Karate tournaments in the United States and Canada and in 1964 he took second place in the World Karate Championship in a controversial decision against Mike Stone in a match refereed by Robert Trias.
Tolo-Naa has studied Jiu jitsu, Judo, Karate, Tae kwon do, Akido, Shao lin, Bando, Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing-yi Chuan, Pa-Kua Chang, and many long and short weapon routines.
He is the originator of the Shackle Hand Style of self-defense and is a student of many meditative disciplines including Taoist Yoga; Kundalini Yoga; Tantra Yoga; and Hatha Yoga. He received his initiation in Tibetan Tantra meditation from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. For the past 29 years, Nganga has concentrated on the study of Chinese internal systems with Professor Huo Chi-Kwang and the late GrandMaster Lu Hung-Ping.
Nganga Tolo-Naa founded the All-African Peoples Art and Cultural Center in the 1960s. In the 1980s he started the Maat Center for martial arts in Chicago Heights (Ill.). He is co-founder of the Kupigana Ngumi Martial Arts Federation and founder of the Martial Arts Research Society/Systems. In 1987, he founded QuieScience Sacred Science Temple (QSST), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting personal development through the martial arts.
Tolona-Naa currently teaches a seminat in Chicago one a month and teaches at the QuieScience Sacred Science Temple in Maryland.

To make the idea of a single, unified ocean of sea & space (see earlier posting here) just a little more definite to the imagination, here's a mixed media list – suggesting inspiration from multiple narrative media channels, in this case books, films, games, several simulated worlds – all on the topic of navigation & discovery through water & ether.
1. Mahan, AT. The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783. New York: Dover Publications, 1987 (1890). After more than a century, still the beginning & end of everything about oceanic expansion. Captain Mahan, USN, studied the success of the British Royal Navy in unsurpassable depth, and inspired thereby the modern US Navy – as well as the extremely destructive German battle Navies of both World Wars. Page on LibraryThing. See also my post "To Command the Ocean is to Command All".
2. Markoe, Glenn E. The Phoenicians. London: British Museum Press, 2000. The Phoenicians, originating from what is now Lebanon, were among the very first truly organized naval traders. They notably founded Rome's single true rival, Carthage. The book is fairly recent, based on the most modern & ambitious archaeology, & is as compelling a study of contemporary historical methods as a study of sea trade & power in "the true cradle of civilization", the Mediterranean-Mesopotamian circuit, or Greater Levant. Even if the subject seems slightly recondite, it isn't, & the book is really as foundational as Mahan's, dealing with the forces that already prevailed long before modern navies. Page on LibraryThing.
3. Lane, Frederic C. Venice: A Maritime Republic. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 1973. Still the fundamental work on the secrets of Venice as the dominant organized sea power between the time of the Phoenicians & the rise of Atlantic exploration. Page on LibraryThing.
4. Russell, Peter. Prince Henry the Navigator. New Haven, CT: Yale UP, 2000. Prince Henry of Portugal initiated modern world exploration & trade – including organized oceanic slave trade. The Portuguese were later superseded by the Dutch, and more durably the British, but the organized founder of globalization was Portugal. Page on LibraryThing.
5. Kennedy, Paul. The Rise & Fall of British Naval Mastery. London: Allen Lane Penguin, 2004 (1976). This book justifiably launched the star career of a former teacher of mine, Yale historian Paul Kennedy. A modernized, streamlined, & perhaps more readable Mahan. Page on LibraryThing.
6. Darwin, Charles.The Voyage of the Beagle. Penguin Classics. London: Penguin, 1989 (1839). Early oceanic expansion was not only military & economic, but intellectual & scientific. Page on LibraryThing.
7. Master & Commander. Dir Peter Weir. 2003. DVD. Fox Home Entertainment, 2004. Fans of ocean navigation need little introduction to Aubrey & Maturin, heroes of Patrick O'Brian's enormously popular maritime novels. Personally I've read considerably more CS Forester than O'Brian, but this film is beautifully detailed – & gripping all through its solid length. Page on IMDb.
8. War Galley. Designers Richard Berg & Mark Herman. Board Game. GMT 2006 (1997). Traditional hex & counter wargame on naval conflict in Greek-Roman antiquity, in a modern version with many interesting details, & with game mechanics that seem adaptable to many other galley settings (eg Venice?). Page on BoardGameGeek.
9. Struggle of Empires. Designer Martin Wallace. Board Game. Warfrog, 2004. Perhaps on its way to become a modern classic, this popular board game simulates, quite well, the basic mechanisms of early oceanic globalization, c1700-1800. Page on BoardGameGeek.
10. Europa Universalis III. Video/computer game. Paradox Interactive, 2007. Something as remarkable as a mass-market, Swedish computer game with a palpable respect for History. Play a European oceanic power & watch the cannonballs fly. Page on Steam.
11. Freeport. Designers Chris Pramas et al. RPG setting. Green Ronin Publishing, 2000. A simulated world if ever there was one, among the most popular maritime city settings, now a classic. Many publications, supporting several RPG systems. Page at Green Ronin Publishing.
12. Harford, James. Korolev: How One Man Masterminded the Soviet Drive to Beat America to the Moon. London: Wiley & Sons, 1997. The single book on spacefaring you cannot avoid. A tale of the man behind the Sputnik & Soyuz, & of the powerful Russian tradition of space exploration. Only after Korolev's death did the Russians fall behind. Page on LibraryThing.
13. Simmons, Dan. Hyperion. New York: Doubleday, 2005 (1989). In science fiction (SF), everything seems to be about ships – space ships. Hyperion & its sequel The Fall of Hyperion stand out by their explosive imaginative strength & by a rarely surpassed concrete description of ships that are sentient, intelligent & self-aware. Page on LibraryThing.
14. Lem, Stanislaw. Solaris. London: Faber & Faber, 2003 (Warsaw, 1961). The translation is grossly unsatisfactory (not from the original Polish, but translated to English from the French version, which possibly even went via Russian), but the book is perhaps the best SF story ever written, certainly the most "intellectual" & literary. No wonder Philip K Dick & Lem (whose other works are equally brilliant) were such hostile rivals. Page on LibraryThing.
15. Solyaris. Dir Andrei Tarkovsky. 1972. DVD. Artificial Eye, 2002. One of very few perfect SF films, based on the above novel, & again tacitly honouring the Russian tradition of spacefaring. (Not to be confused with the much weaker, but by no means hopeless 2002 Soderbergh version Solaris.) Page on IMDb.

Airplane in the Hudson River
Yesterday I drove into NYC and brought my Taylor to get repaired at 30th Street guitars. Little did I know, just a couple hours later, a commercial airline plane would be making a crash landing in the Hudson River! It is a miracle that everyone walked away alive, and a testament to the pilot's skill. One of the really touching aspects of the whole event was how many different people, who did not know each other, came together to rescue the passengers. Ferry boats and water taxis, filled with tourists and sightseers, rushed in to help immediately. The bravery and compassion that these New Yorkers showed makes me proud to call this city home.

However, another Labour MP, defending Mr O'Brien, told me it was his "misfortune" to get the job of piloting the 1999 Act through Parliament.
Many saw this legislation as hostile to victims of persecution, even racist. The MP argued that whether this was true or not, no personal blame attached to Mr O'Brien. We could not draw conclusions about the minister's views or prejudices. He simply did his duty.
This may seem a peculiar way of looking at things. How could a minister take responsibility for controversial legislation without believing in it himself? But to politicians, there is nothing strange about it at all. They spend their lives defending policies they don't like. Swallowing their personal reservations and bowing to the party or government line is what they do. Ministers may argue their case in the privacy of Whitehall but, if they lose, must argue unreservedly for the opposite view. Or else we would have ministers resigning every week.
This explains why politicians often talk in curiously strangulated language; if they disagree with their own side's policies, they speak in code. It also, I suspect, explains why people feel increasingly alienated from politics. We live in a more individualised, uninhibited society in which we are accustomed to free expression of personal opinions and emotions.
Politicians are not exceptional in this. Barristers in court defend clients they suspect of being guilty. Journalists often adapt their opinions to those of their proprietors or readers. Teachers follow the national curriculum when they think it narrow and anti-educational. It is just that politicians have to dissemble more publicly than most of us.
All this can guide us on what to expect of the new Education Secretary, Ruth Kelly. She is a devout Roman Catholic who opposes birth control and abortion. Yet more than two-thirds of secondary teachers, according to a TES poll, believe children should be told how to get an abortion. More than 80 per cent believe they should be taught about contraception, including the morning-after pill.
Ms Kelly may argue in Cabinet against teaching birth control. If she loses, she will then get on with ensuring that such lessons go ahead and defend them in public. This will be her "misfortune".
Can it really work like that? Catholicism, despite its doctrinal rigidities, is a religion of give-and-take. Its followers are accustomed to bargaining with the Almighty, using priests as intermediaries. It may be a mortal sin to undergo, perform or procure an abortion. But I would guess that being a reluctant party to the spread of information may be allowed.
Some may say that, even if she were to save herself, Ms Kelly would endanger the immortal souls of thousands of children. It is, however, possible to argue that the more children learn about abortion, the less likely they are to seek it. Indeed, most campaigners for sex education claim - at least in public - that their goal is to reduce promiscuous underage sex. I am sure Ms Kelly is clever enough to embrace this position.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is something that is hard for many to do.
Purple was not a color that my client thought would look good on her, but after the transformation was complete, she loved it. Not only is purple my favorite color, it is also a color that I love working with to create beautiful eyes. The color payoff is great.
She has some scaring on her forehead and cheeks due to acne. The blemishes were minimal, so it was easy to conceal them and even out her skin tone. She has oily skin also, and prefers to wear powder foundation, instead of cream or liquid. She was lovely, great spirit and a beautiful woman. It was a pleasure working with her.
Products used:
- Mac select coverup concealer (NC50)
- Bare Minerals powder foundation in Deep Dark
- Milani Baked Blush in color 02
- Milani Easy Brow pencil is dark brown
- Mac's paint pot in Ocher
- Mac's Brown Script
- L'oreal H.I.P shocking shadow pigments in color 534
- Wet-n-Wild black creme eyeliner
- Ardell Professional Natural Lashes-Lacies
- NYC lipstick in the color Smooch
With Love,
Mac select coverup concealer (NC50) is one of my favorite concealers. It blends well, and it's long lasting. This product was used to conceal and even out her dark under eye circles and the blemishes on her forehead. Retail price $18.00.
Bare Minerals powder foundation in Deep Dark. I have used this foundation before, but it has not worked for my skin. It leaves me either ashy, or with too much of a red undertone. But it worked perfectly for her. A little goes a long way. This is a really great product and works well with oily skin. Retail price $27.00.
Milani Baked Blush in color 02. I have several shades of blushes from this line. Soft, pretty color, with a hint of shimmer. This was applied to the apples of her cheeks. Retail price $7.99.
Milani Easy Brow pencil is dark brown. Glides on smoothly and it's long lasting. Retail price $5.49.
Mac's paint point was used on her eyelids, to the top of the brow bone. It coats smoothly and allows the eyeshadow to really pop. It also provides a great base for the eye shadow to stick to. Retail price $20.00. It's pretty expensive if you ask me. Urban Decay also has an amazing base/eye primer, which is what I primarily use. Every now and again, I will use my paint pot. Click here for Urban Decay's eye primer. It retails for $12.00.
Mac's brown script. Applied to the upper part of her eye (brow bone, down to the crease). I love, love, love this product. It's a great transition color. I personally use this often and it works great for many different looks. It's a strong color and needs to be blended well. Retail price $15.00.
L'oreal H.I.P shocking shadow pigment in color 534. Applied to her eyelids and slightly into the crease. I have these eye shadows in every shade! The container is huge and lasts a long time. I purchased all of mine in January, 2012 from Walmart. A year and a half later and they are still going strong. The color payoff is amazing. Retail price $5.49 (or less when there is a sale).
Wet-n-Wild black creme eyeliner. Applied along the lash line of her lids. This product works well with oily skin. Sold at most drugs stores. Retail price $3.99.
I have several lashes from the Ardell Natural line. The single pack retails for $4.99 and is sold at Sally Beauty. They can also be purchased on line.
Standing ovation for this lipstick! NYC lipstick in the color Smooch. It is my favorite lipstick for everyday work-wear. I keep one in my purse during the work week. It is long-lasting and can be applied lightly for a slight lip stain, or heavily for a sharper color. Retail price $3.99. Sold at most drugs stores and Walmart.

Cleveland- based Cooper Commercial Investment Group— a real estate company specializing in brokering the sale of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, has recently sold a shopping complex in Strongsville— a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Located at 14375 Pearl Road, the shopping complex, Strongsville Pointe was acquired by Westlake Village, California- based BOAS LLC— a private investor, according to public records in Cuyahoga county.
The shopping complex is situated in an affluent suburb community in Cleveland with about 41,109- square- foot area.
Vice president of Cooper Commercial Investment Group, Bob Havasi said, his company offered the new owner, BOAS, an upside potential by offering the shopping complex at a low- price per square foot.
According to public records in the county, the shopping complex is bought by BOAS for about $1.65 million, or $40.23 per square foot.
Havasi, as vice president and broker, represented the seller, Cooper Commercial Investment in the transaction.
Major anchor tenants in the shopping center include Boston Market— a chain of American fast- food casual restaurants. The shopping center also serve as a home to Dollar Bank— a full service, regional bank, and Taco Bell— an American restaurant chain based in Irvine, California, which specializes in Mexican-style food.
The president of Coral, Peter Rubin, was not available for comments regarding the transaction.
Strongsville Pointe was constructed in 1989. It was Mr. Rubin's first shopping center development after launching Cooper Commercial Investment Group.
The sale transaction of the shopping complex, between the seller and the buyer was closed January 28, 2011, Friday.

IT'S FATKINI TIIIIME! GabiFresh's Heavily Anticipated 2016 Plus Size Swimwear Collection Drops Today
"Heavily," get it? Haaaahaha.
We'll call her Rhonda.
Rhonda is one of many old and faithful dress forms on the floor of my university's fashion department. And because she's a little different from the rest of the dressforms, Rhonda happens to be my very best friend.
See, Rhonda's a size 20, which roughly translates into US dress size 16. Which -- yay! -- is exactly what I am.
So whenever a special occasion calls for me to construct my own dress, or if I'm just feeling bored (read: avoiding actual class assignments) and just want to throw together a casual top, I wheel Rhonda over to my workspace and begin gleefully pinning fabric to her sturdy body. This, for some reason, always confuses people.
"What are you doing?" a faculty member or another student might say.
"You're not the same size as that form. She's too big for you!" (Body-positive as I try to be, I always take this as a compliment.)
Thing is, they're right. But they're also wrong. Rhonda *is* the same size as me -- our bust, waist and hip measurements are all identical. But that's where our similarities end, because everything on our bodies are distributed differently. Rhonda has modest b-cups (like almost every other dress form), while my 34 Gs are barely contained by my Cacique bras.
And even though my shoulders are wide (thanks dad), Rhonda's are considerably broader. My hips are higher, my armhole size is smaller, oh, and most importantly -- Rhonda has no ass at all. NONE. At all. It doesn't serve me much purpose to try to design a skirt for my yam sandwich on her.
So, as much as I adore Rhonda, whenever I create something on her to wear myself, a ton of alterations are inevitably involved. Sweet as she is, Rhonda's nothing but a scaled-up version of the many size 8 (dress size 4, a standard sample size) dress forms that populate the fashion department. And while the size 8 forms are fine for making clothes for fit models, manufacturers seem to have forgotten that the human body just doesn't "scale up" in uniform increments when it gets larger.
Thankfully, a pair of enterprising students in the fashion program at Cornell are seeking to correct this dress form injustice. They've developed a dress form for a size 24 woman that takes into account the many variations of the human body. Their process for doing so was pretty cool: Instead of working from a basic form, they used thousands of 3D body scans (of actual humans!) to develop a body prototype, and then matched that to a size 24 woman in their department.
The result -- a pear-shaped form that will lend itself to more easily developing flattering plus-size garments, so that the curvier among us are aren't stuck with boxy T-shirts or ill-fitting pants.
The students at Cornell used the dress form to design a four-piece collection, and even developed a marketing plan for their line. That's exciting, but I think it would make an even greater impact to figure out how to manufacture and sell the forms instead, or maybe even the technology to create them.
I haven't worked in industry yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the obstacles to developing great plus-clothing was the fact that transferring garments from dress form to fit model (then to customer) involves tons of fitting and altering and adjusting. (And, as my professors like to say around here, "Time is money.") Wouldn't it be great if ALL those companies had access to a form that more accurately represents the average U.S. woman, who is holding A LOT of buying power?
Still, the project doesn't solve all the woes of the would-be plus fashionista.
As much as reading about the Cornell research intrigued me, I was left with one very loud thought: I'm plus, but I'm definitely not pear. Remember those 34Gs I mentioned earlier? Those are the beginning and end of all my fashion decisions.
If I can't close a button-up, or fit into a knit top, or find a neckline that's not-too-low but just-low-enough, I'm not buying. In fact, when I use trusty ol' Rhonda, the bust is where I always make my first alterations. (FBA anyone? Where my fellow seamstresses at?!) So a promising plus industry needs more than just a pear-shaped form. It needs an hourglass, an apple and maybe an inverted triangle too. It definitely needs something for us super-busty gals.
I, in the meantime, will keep finding my own ways to make plus clothes that fit. I don't have Cornell's 3D technology (yet!), but our fashion department did roll in two new size 20 forms last week. They're fleshier, a bit more shapely and more bootylicious than old Rhonda. Plus, they have legs! Visions of swimsuits and pants and lingerie are already dancing in my head.
I just hope Rhonda doesn't mind me making new friends.
Veronica Miller is a freelance illustrator working on her master's degree in fashion design. She is dying to design a plus-size line for you.

What order are the black/white lists applied?

There are some odd behaviours with blacklist/whitelist filtering when more than one filter may apply for email. For instance, an email address that is blacklisted in the TO Email list that is not supposed to quarantine is still quarantined because the email came from a blacklisted country. So the coutry blacklist was applied first? Was the other filter applied at all? Or does one hit do it? I assume whitelists are all checked first.

I thik your asking if there is an order that the blacklist/whitelist are checked in. I wondered this myself, as well as if it is whitlisted does it ignore blacklist, I think it shoudl go in this order.

Yes, I was wondering about the order or priority that the various filters are referenced.
I did have an instance where email from a sender from a whitelisted domain was quarantined because a text string in their email address coincided with an entry in my FROM Email blacklist. (I block email addresses that have words such as "deals", "opt-in", "offers", etc. So it appears the whitelists are not all applied first. Probably the Unfiltered Emails though.

The process is as follows.
All the white lists are checked first. If a match is found, the blacklists are skipped, the email recipients are accepted, and SpamFilter is ready to accept the data command. If none of the whitelists are matched, then the blacklists are searched in the following order:
Going over the code to provide a detailed answer we just discovered that there is unexpected behavior when keywords matching the content filter are found. It seems as if only whitelisted "Unfiltered emails" and "Excluded Domains/IP" are correctly whitelisted. The other whitelists are ignored if there is a keyword match in the email. We will correct this in the next build.

I am working with the following scenario: I want to block email directed to old (i.e. discontinued due to people no longer using them, or because they had attracted too much spam) email addresses on domains that I support (i.e. are on my white list for domains). If I do not block the emails at SpamFilter, they are forwarded to Exchange where that server attempts to send a non-delivery message... often to an invalid address. So I find myself flushing Exchange's queues of garbage that I'd rather block for a handfull of old email addresses on my various domains.
Admited problem: I've not yet figured out how to configure Exchange to discard email to invalid addresses without sending nd messages. If I can figure that out, then this scenario effectively becomes moot. But this seems like an issue that would arise in any situation where the email server doesn't provide sufficient controls, or the controls are difficult to implement (requiring scripts as opposed to adding names to lists).
Am I missing a better way to solve this problem? Or does this make sense as a supportable feature that would have general utility?
