Ens. Delaney will report to Engineering as soon as his gear can be stowed. He always knows that Engineering is at Deck 19 and requests his quarters be somewhere close to Engineering if at all possible. Perhaps deck 18 has an opening?

Ens. Pourtash considered all of that, becoming more excited by the moment at the prospects before him. Of course he did his best to remain looking calm and professional, but the eagerness was clear in his eyes. "I have no further questions. I'm just eager to find my quarters and begin duties, Captain."
Fujishiro seems happy with the discussion and looks ready to go.
"Understood, sir," Brownlock said. "No other questions."
But he wasn't convinced - not totally...
Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
Singh says, "Very well, then. Lt. Bennett, have quarters now been assigned to them all?" The younger officer looks down at her data tablet and nods. "Please take them there, then. You might want to have a bit of lunch, everyone, and have a look around the ship. We'll have a welcome-aboard dinner with the senior officers in the Wardroom at 1700 - that's in five hours, just across the corridor. Dress uniforms, mind you. See you then."
Your baggage has already been delivered. Everyone is assigned quarters on Deck 6 except Delaney, whom Bennett takes to Deck 18, close to Engineering. His cabinmate is Ens. Sasok, an Engineering warp field specialist and the first black Vulcan Delaney has ever seen. Despite his people's characteristic reserve, Sasok is cordial. "Perhaps you would like to have lunch, Ensign, and then a tour of the ship...?"
Hayes and Iota are assigned quarters together, convenient to a turbolift and just down the corridor from the ship's Communications Center. They play Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who will get which bed.
Collins's quarters are just a minute's walk away from Hayes's and Iota's. She meets her new cabinmate, Ens. Euterpe Terezis, a young, quiet, rather shy Greek woman who is also a Security specialist, assigned to the Photon Torpedo Launch Bay. She has just returned from lunch, but offers, "I'll go with you to keep you company if you're hungry; I don't mind."
Dr. Brownlock's cabinmate is Dr. Giancarlo Bucci, a plump Italian man with a bone-breaking handshake. Like Brownlock, he is also a Starfleet lieutenant, but is a researcher with a specialization in virology. He greets Nigel warmly but soon turns back to the Library Computer terminal in your quarters, saying, "So sorry, Doctor, but I'm working on a research paper for the Starfleet Medical Journal on a damnably tight deadline."
Pourtash is assigned to share quarters with Ens. Mikhail Trigorin, a friendly, slightly older Engineering officer, assigned to impulse drive maintenance and deuterium fuel management. Without prompting, he proudly shows you pictures of his wife and four kids back on Ekaterina III, and says, "Tell me about your family, Faraz!"
You each get settled into your quarters, unpack and make sure that your dress uniforms are ready for later. What would you like to do next?
Delaney responds, "I would be DE-lighted to join you if you can spare me about four minutes to unpack and layout my dress uniforms. I would especially like to report to engineering as soon as possible after lunch. To be honest, I am very eager to see them though I know they are not going anywhere. Thank you very much. Warp Field is a fascinating study, my own studies tie into as I have been involved with the development and then operation of faster and more efficient warp engines. I look forward to working with you." He is quickly and efficiently stowing his gear through the fast monologue. "Please call me Jim if being informal is acceptable for you." He offers up a Vulcan hand symbol, not the best form but quite reasonable for a young human.
Ens. Hayes inspected her dress uniform for the third time. She turned to Ens. Fujishiro.
"Think I'll head to the mess hall for a bite to eat, then check out the science department. You're welcome to join me."
Fujishiro happily replies, "Of course! On both courses of action. I'm eager to see what they have in the labs here."
"Actually, Mr Terezis," Ens Collins paused a moment, "may I call you Euterpe? Please call me Jeremi. I was on my way to the gym. I felt cooped up and cramped on that shuttle. I need to stretch and get some cardio in before getting ready for dinner." Jeremi made a motion with her arm indicating an invitation for Ens Terezis to join her. "I'll grab a protein bar when I'm finished."

Brownlock sat on his bed, trying to decide how to decorate his precious few square meters of personal space. He took a sidelong glance at Bucci's area - hmm, no diplomas or medical certificates. Ok, strike that idea. His roommate had a few pictures on the shelf above his bed - a pretty young girl among them. "Sister, perhaps?" Brownlock wondered. "Little time for a girlfriend in Starfleet, much less a wife." He vowed to inquire - discreetly - when the opportunity arose.
Thirty minutes later, the area was decorated with the half-dozen items he managed to pack on short notice. All uniforms were hung neatly in the small closet, with special attention to the perfection of the dress uniform he would be donning in a couple hours.
That done, he waved a silent goodbye to Bucci and strode out into the corridor. Left... no right, to the turbolift. A quick peek into Sickbay, perhaps, then maybe some lunch. Not that he was hungry. He seldom was. Just a quick sandwich, and maybe some fruit. Wonder if the replicators on this ship were as bad as those on his last one...

Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
Sasok smiles politely at Delaney's attempt at a Vulcan hand salute. He agrees to call you Jim, and says you're welcome to call him by his name, as well. After lunch in the nearest Mess Hall - good food, you notice - he takes you to Engineering, where he introduces you to Chief Engineer Cheverez, a small, stoop-shouldered older man with a ready smile and a booming laugh. He welcomes you aboard and invites you to look around, although he reminds you that you're not on duty until tomorrow morning. Sasok told you over lunch that Cheverez would tolerate some non-regulation things if the job got done well and if you showed initiative. The Chief Engineer is a highly knowledgeable troubleshooter who's not afraid to delegate.
Hayes and Fujishiro have a pleasant lunch together. Several other people in the Mess Hall, including some Sciences staff, come up and introduce themselves, making you feel welcome aboard the Yorktown. Brownlock comes in soon afterward, sees you and, at your invitation, joins you for lunch. You then visit your respective labs and offices together, and like what you see.
Terezis declines Collins's invitation to go to the Gym, but gives you directions on how to get there before turning back to her old book, which you notice is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Delaney thanks Sasok and Cheverez and can't help himself but starts pouring over the engine tests, reports and performance logs. He pays special attention to the repair log. It is a large task and so Delaney starts with the Warp Engines of course. Delaney will end up getting engrossed in his work and will just barely make it to the dress function that night. The only saving grace is that he knows himself well enough and his uniform is ready though surely not as neat as his fellow new crew.
Delaney is looking for one thing in particular while studying the warp logs. There is a little tweak Cmdr. Scott detailed in one of his white papers to auto-tune the harmonics of the dilithium crystals that has resulted in longer life and more importantly to allow for faster power flow demand in emergencies. It is fairly new and not Federation SOP yet and Delaney is looking to see if the Yorktown has implemented it yet. If not it will be his first recommendation to the CHENG.

Ens Collins finds a locker, and hangs her tunic in it, leaving a black tank top tucked in to her trousers. She goes over to the punching bag first, and begins a routine she has developed over the years designed to keep her reflexes at maximum.
After thirty minutes of that, she moves over to the mat where she works her way through a series of T'ai Chi moves, and finishes off running several loops around the perimeter of the Gym. Pleased with her heart rate, Ens Collins returns to her quarters and gets ready for dinner.
"These replicators are definitely a step up from my last assignment," Brownlock thought. "Crispest apple I've ever had from one."
"Oh, and Sickbay isn't bad either."
Cheverez is impressed by Delaney's gung-ho spirit, and will be interested to hear more about your proposed dilithium autotuning procedure; he had heard just a rumor of it on the Starfleet grapevine.
Just as Collins is about to start her workout, she's approached by a muscular young man who introduces himself as Ens. Ben Cooper, a shuttle pilot. He shows you where you can get exercise clothing for use in the gym (so as to keep your uniform clean), and the laundry dropoff for when you're done with it. "Hope I'll see you around again, Ensign," he says with a smile as he leaves.
Dr. Miriam Villa, the CMO, wasn't in when Brownlock visited Sickbay, but Dr. Helen Noel was. A beautiful, very smart brunette, she is the ship's psychiatrist, formerly assigned to the Enterprise. She's glad to show you around, and expects to be at the senior officer's dinner later.

Fujishiro carefully looks over the available equipment and other resources in the physics lab. She picks a less-used area as her workspace and organizes the tools to her liking. She makes sure her data files are uploaded to the computer and easily accessible from the local terminal. Once things are in order, she heads back to her room to prepare for the evening.
Ens. Hayes had grown used to wearing her dress uniform while serving at the Federation Embassy on Andor and the USS Kongo Parties and dinners with high-ranking officers and diplomats was second nature to her.
While diplomacy was important, Rachel longed to explore the vast expanses of space. To discover new aliens and their worlds. Perhaps she would have that opportunity aboard the Yorktown. She hoped so....
Brownlock was a little disappointed he wasn't able to meet the officer who had personally requested him. Where did she know him from? Did he, in fact, have a reputation in Starfleet? Nah, couldn't have. Unless... oh, he hoped that wasn't the case...
The six of you appear in the Wardroom on Deck 2 for dinner at the appointed hour. Stewards are already circulating with trays bearing appetizers, glasses of wine (Hayes sees a bottle as it's being poured and notes with approval that it's a Chateau Picard '50) and other refreshments. You meet the rest of the senior staff, all of whom, like you, are in dress uniform.
Cmdr. Pablo Echevarria Vargas, First Officer and Chief of Security, is a tall, balding Peruvian with an aquiline nose and an aristocratic air. He greets each of you politely but without any noticeable warmth. He stands near Capt. Singh but seems to exchange only an occasional quiet word with her. Both have an impressive array of small, triangular Starfleet decorations on their left breasts.
Lt. Edgardo Cheverez, Chief Engineer, says a few words to each of you, but is soon deep in conversation with Delaney about the new shipboard food replicators, and the occasional but persistent difficulties in changing over from the old protein resequencers.
Dr. Miriam Villa, Chief Medical Officer, is a petite, middle-aged American woman with a friendly smile and black, spiky hair going to gray. She walks in with Dr. Helen Noel, and it's obvious that they're good friends. They both greet Brownlock, and Dr. Villa is quite definite in her appreciation of all she's heard about him. "This is a big ship, Doctor," she says, "and I'm very glad to have you here. You come very highly recommended. Your predecessor, Dr. Peterson, was an excellent physician, but I'm sure you'll fill his shoes admirably." Drs. Brownlock and Villa are soon talking shop, but Noel is eager for the latest Enterprise news from Collins.
Hayes and Fujishiro are glad to finally meet Lt. Cmdr. Abdi Roble, Science Officer and Second Officer. He is an older Somali man, grave in his manner, almost gaunt in form, with a quiet voice but also, you soon learn, a puckish sense of humor. An astronomer by specialty but an excellent all-around scientist, he discusses the ship's current charting mission with you both, and asks many questions about your backgrounds and interests.
Lt. Thalen, the Yorktown's Communications Officer, is a youngish Andorian male, his pale blue skin and antennae unavoidably clashing with his red dress uniform shirt. He greets you all in turn, but spends most of his time talking to and laughing with Lt. JG Bennett about a particularly memorable shore leave on Wrigley's Planet. Pourtash finds himself drawn to Bennett and has soon joined the conversation.
Who would you like to speak to? What do you say to him or her?
Last edited by Elendil's Heir; 07 Aug 2010 at 12:46 AM.
Ens. Hayes was impressed with Lt. Cmdr. Roble. She appreciated his interest in her background and interests. She looked forward to working with him.
Rachel excused herself and mingled amongst the dinner guests, chatting for a few moments with everyone.
She particularly enjoyed her conversation with Lt. Thalen. Lt. JG Bennett was also a pleasure to talk with.
Rachel couldn't help but notice the distinct differences between the captain and first officer. Very interesting.
Thalen, who you soon learn is a bit of a gossip, tells you - with a cautious glance at the First Officer - that the scuttlebutt is that Vargas has already twice been passed over for a command of his own. Bennett, frowning, says she's heard it only happened once, but she concedes that Vargas's mood has not been good recently.
Delaney really enjoys his conversation with Lt. Edgardo Cheverez and feels he has really landed in the right place at this point in his career. Cheverez is clearly not just a Department Head but someone that knows his systems and knows his engineering. Delaney remembers a piece of advice given to him on on the USS Ganymede to ensure he expands his horizons beyond merely the technical.
He strikes up conversations with the other diners and asks questions about the career and life and sits back and tries hard to pay attention and ask a few more questions along the way. If anyone talks science or systems he off course get far more talkative.
Jeremi would have liked to exchange more than introductions with Cmdr. Vargas, but it was clear that he would not have been receptive. She moves casually through the crowd, listening mostly, munching an occasional morsel, content with being among the crowd. That is, until Dr Noel approached her. Jeremi was reluctant to spread the myriad rumors she'd heard during her last assignment, but there were one or two harmless tales she was able to share.
Throughout their conversation on the latest diagnostic technology upgrades, the newer, more virulent strain of the Omega IV virus and Brownlock's interest in DNA research, he was dying to ask why Dr. Villa had requested him. However, he decided to address that subject when, if ever, it came up naturally in conversation.
After a while, Dr. Villa excused herself, citing an early duty schedule, and Nigel was left standing by himself, unable, and perhaps unwilling, to engage in conversations with the others. What did he know about warp fields, or phaser banks or celestial navigation? He couldn't wait to get down to Sickbay and be in his element.
Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
Ens. Hayes invites Lt. Thalen and Lt. JG Bennett to join her in the near future for a glass or two of Andorian ale. If she wants to know more about the "culture" of the ship, these two officers are the ones who would know.
Rachel notices that Dr. Brownlock is standing by himself. She walks over to him and says, "Mind if I join you?"
The Captain buttonholes Dr. Villa at the door and says, "Now, now, Doctor. All work and no play, as you know. I'm sure Nurse Perry will let you know if you're needed in Sickbay. Please stay." Villa shrugs, smiles and complies, helping herself to a glass of Dorwinion cider.
Delaney's ears perk up at the overheard Dorwinion Cider. He has never heard of it but the name intrigues him due to his love of a certain ancient book known as the Lord of the Rings. He makes his way over, "Captain, forgive me, did you say Dorwinion cider? If so could you tell me something about it?"
While they spoke, Jeremi started to sense something familiar about Dr Noel. She began to study the doctor's face carefully, all while without missing a beat in their conversation, hoping to recall what that something familiar was.
Singh tells Delaney, "Dorwinion is a Class M world that, if I remember correctly, was colonized about a decade ago and has a very good climate for orchards and vineyards. I bought several cases of wine and cider from there earlier this year. I don't know about the source of its name; I'm sure the Library Computer could tell you."
Fujishiro cheerfully flits from conversation to conversation, intent on befriending all. She talks a fair bit with Cheverez and Delaney, trying to steer the conversation toward her interest in sensors, but gives up when they start plumbing the technical depths of replication. She speaks with Villa, Noel and Brownlock a while; her secondary education was in part medical, certainly enough to keep up with the light conversation here.
She of course spends longer with Roble and Hayes, eagerly discussing the latest science papers and reports. It's clear she is extremely focused on science in general and her projects in specific, mostly involving various types of radiation and novel applications of them. She seems more concerned about access to lab resources and the ship's computer and sensors than rank or position.
An astute observer will notice that Fujishiro eagerly tries the different beverages as they are served, but hardly tries more than a sip of each. Water seems to be her drink of choice.
When Dr. Brownlock didn't answer her right away, Ens. Hayes tried once again to engage him in conversation. He seemed a bit uncomforable with this whole dinner party thing. Some Starfleet officers were more suited to social activities than others.
"Have you been to Sickbay yet?" Rachel asked, hoping that would get the conversation going.
She watched Ens. Fujishiro making the rounds and chatting with everyone. And Dr. Villa attempting an early exit.
Brownlock blinked and realized someone was speaking to him. "Oh, sorry Ensign. I guess I was a little distracted. Yes, I had the grand tour. Quite a step up from the last ship I was on. I'm really looking forward to working down there."
"And you? What kind of facilities does a Xenosociologist have on this ship?"

Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
Ens. Hayes chuckled and took another sip of wine. She was very rarely asked about her work -- a growing field in the Federation and Starfleet.
"Mostly a huge computer database with every well known and obscure piece of information on alien cultures."
Rachel paused for a moment. She didn't want to overwhelm the good doctor with too much at once.
"I'm currently working on a research project involving xenophobia."
You are asked to take your seats, and the stewards serve dinner at the Wardrooms large, long table, which is covered by a crisp white linen tablecloth. Well-polished silver, fine china bearing the Starfleet arrowhead, and fluted Rigellian crystal glassware show that the Yorktown senior staff knows how to entertain when the occasion arises. After the meal a crisp salad, baked Pacifican shad, and green beans is cleared away, Saurian brandy is passed around, although some of you choose other beverages. Then Singh nods to Delaney, the junior officer present. The young Assistant Chief Engineer rises, glass in hand, to propose the traditional first toast of a shipboard dinner: The United Federation of Planets!
You all stand and repeat The Federation!, and drink.
The Captain then offers the traditional second toast: The ship!
The ship! say all.
After a round of other toasts, you sit and Singh says, This is an auspicious day on which to welcome our newest officers. It is October 19. On this day in 1781, the British forces under Lord Cornwallis surrendered to the combined American and French forces commanded by Gen. George Washington, bringing an end to the siege at Yorktown, Virginia, the last major battle of the American Revolution. This ship your ship is the latest in a long and distinguished line named after that great victory, so Im glad that youre all here, today of all days.
She takes a sip of her Saurian brandy. Now that you have joined our crew, perhaps our new officers would like to know more of what is expected of them, and so I will tell you. You will, of course, attend all senior staff meetings and speak up! Rank and seniority are no guarantee of wisdom; the First Officer, department chiefs and I will, Im sure, have as much to learn from you as you from us. If you have an idea or an opinion, lets hear it. You will hereafter form the nucleus of the Yorktowns landing parties. Dont be afraid to use your brains and to take the initiative. You will regularly stand watches on the Bridge. Those of you other than Dr. Brownlock who dont already have your Bridge Command Duty Officer qualification will earn it in the next few months, and the First Officer will give you each a training schedule. Mr. Pourtash, I know you already have your BCDO, so you may be taking a turn in the big chair sooner than you thought.
She looks around. All right. Any other questions or comments?
Delaney, "I look forward to the BCDO training, I was part way through in on the USS Ganymede and hoped for a chance to complete it on the Yorktown. Thank you for the welcome and opportunity to work on this great ship. I know little of the battle but will read up on it. I already have a book on the aircraft carrier by the name that helped to turn the war in favor the US. Is there any other interesting history on the name worth looking into?"
Collins smiled and raised her glass "The Captain!" BCDO training already? she thought, I'll have my own ship before I'm 33!
Ens. Hayes couldn't wait for her first landing party as a member of the Yorktown crew. This is why she joined Starfleet. To explore the unknown and discover anything and everything!
She took a few sips of brandy and sighed. BCDO.... Not her cup of tea, but she'd do her best. Perhaps Lt. Thalen could be of some help in this area.
"Not from me, Captain. Thank you for the fine meal and the chance to meet so many officers socially," thanks Fujishiro.
"Landing parties, hmm?" pondered Brownlock. "Nice change of pace from the sterile walls of Sickbay. This posting is looking up every day."
"Sickbay isn't all that bad," Dr. Villa protested, but Brownlock could tell from her expression and her mock-serious tone that she was laughing along with him.
Singh smiled and said, "Mr. Delaney, there've been several good books about the Battle of Yorktown, and the ships named after it, written over the centuries. I'll get you a short reading list, if you like. But I suspect that the First Officer and the Chief Engineer will be keeping you a bit busy otherwise."
"That is true, Captain," said Vargas, lifting his glass to her. He turns to you six and says quietly, "I will see you all at 0745 hours tomorrow, just before you begin your first watch. Meet me in Conference Room 1 at that time, if you please." You all of course agree.
By now it is almost 2200 hours (10pm). The dinner party soon breaks up, and people begin drifting out with murmured farewells and quiet laughter. The Captain and First Officer sit down for a last brandy together. As you leave, you find that the lights in the corridors are already dimmed for shipboard "night." Bennett and Thalen are sharing a private joke near the turbolift doors. The ship seems quieter, although you know that, as always, at least a third of the crew is on duty.
Do you want to do anything else before turning in for the night?
Ens. Hayes, much too excited for sleep, heads for the Arboretum on Deck 22.
The Arboretum is a long compartment about three times the size of the Bridge; no one else is there at the moment. A variety of flowering or edible plants from Earth and about a dozen other worlds grows there. There is an herb garden maintained by crewmembers who prefer to cook their own food, and the Captain has a small plot of rose bushes that she maintains. Full-spectrum lighting (now dimmed) and overhead water and nutrient dispensers ensure a healthy yield. There are several benches for those who prefer just to sit and enjoy the smells and sights; it is a very pleasant place to visit.

The prospect of going back to his room and potentially being subjected to more friendly questions leaves Faraz a bit queasy for a variety of reasons, but he wants to get his sleep, so simply goes back to his quarters.
Delany says his goodnights, takes a quick trip to the engine room to check on the tracking of the current harmonics of the dilithium crystals that he set up earlier and heads for bed. He goes to sleep reading about the Battle of Yorktown from the ship's library as just a way to gain some familiarity.
All's well in Engineering when Delaney drops by. Sasok is studying when you return to your cabin; he asks how your evening went.
Pourtash's cabinmate, Ens. Trigorin, is out when you return; he comes back about an hour later and soon goes to bed himself, trying to remain quiet so as not to wake you.
Fujishiro, with her science lab station more or less ready to go, simply heads back to her quarters for a nights rest.
Collins heads down to the Gym, hoping to run into Ens. Cooper again, and later returns to her quarters. She enters quietly so as not to disturb Ens. Terezis' either sleep or reading, and gets ready for a restful sleep.
Fujishiro falls asleep before Hayes returns from her visit to the Arboretum.
Collins doesn't see Cooper in the Gym or other rec areas, unfortunately. Terezis arrives back at the same time as you. She asks if you had a good time at dinner, and if you now want to get a nightcap.
Collins politely declines the invite, and asks for a raincheck. It has been a very long day and Jeremi is exhausted

Concerning The Ruppert Mansion & Ehret Brewery...
I recieved an email from K. Jacob Ruppert, I posted it here so that you are able to get the complete facts. He also sent many articals and photos. If you are interested in the Ruppert Mansion, the orchard mentioned in Harpos book, and the Ehret brewery clocktower, please read on!
Dear Sir or Madam:
I discovered your wonderful website devoted to the Marx Brothers and the page within it discussing the Harpo Speaks! book. I am K. Jacob Ruppert (Jacob), great-great grandson of Jacob Ruppert, Sr. (1842-1915).
You are correct that the mansion belonged to Jacob Ruppert Sr. and also to his wife Anna Gillig-Ruppert (1842-1924). The house was completed in 1883 and was demolished in 1926 after its sale by their children to developer Samuel Minskoff (whose descendants are still in real real estate business today) who later sold it to builder Anthony Campagno to erect an apartment house that remains there to this day. Interestingly, I was consulted immediately before the printing of this book to confirm the epilogue of the the Ruppert Brewery Clock Tower, formerly the Hellgate Brewery Clock Tower. Regretfully, I was not aware of what I believe is a misstatement in the book as to the address of the Ruppert mansion. However, I have two theories explaining the error...
The first, and least likely, is simply a mistake by Harpo as to the back and front of the Ruppert property. The Ruppert mansion was located 1115 Fifth Avenue (now 1119 Fifth Avenue) on the southeast corner of East 93rd Street and Fifth Avenue, not at Park Avenue as Harpo remembers. It's facade faced Fifth Avenue looking out onto the Central Park Reservoir (now the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir) directly across the street. What I believe may be the misunderstanding is that although my great-great grandfather did have orchards ( a few trees, actually) in the vacant lots he owned behind the house (the Upper East Side was rather undeveloped at the time), the back property line was at or near Park Avenue (Fifth, Madison and Park Avenues are parallel). It is likely here at this southwest corner of East 93rd Street and Park Avenue where Harpo and his brothers got access to the property and committed their citrus stealth. Over time, I presume, the reference to Park and East 93rd Street was actually the location of the trees and not the house. Perhaps since Harpo and his family lived to the east of Ruppert's back property, closer to Park Avenue, he erroneously remembered the mansion was also on Park Avenue.
My second theory, and what is surely the most likely explanation, is that Harpo is remembering not the mansion of Jacob Ruppert, Sr., but that of his fellow brewer George Ehret, Sr. whose mansion actually did sit on Park Avenue and East 93rd, the northwest corner. Harpo speaks of both men together so he likely confused their addresses. Ehret's house too had fruit trees that can be easily seen in the foreground of the attached photo. In that photo (c. 1885, when Harpo was 5 years old) one can see the back of the Ruppert mansion in the distance (down East 93rd Street ending at Central Park) and the front of Ehret's Greek-Revival home at 1197 Park Avenue between East 93rd and 94th Streets. What probably fueled this confusion besides Harpo's advanced age in 1961 (he was 73 when he wrote the memoir) is that the Ehret's Hellgate Brewery plant, located between Third and Second Avenues and between East 92nd and 93rd Streets, was purchased by brewery neighbor Col. Jacob Ruppert, Jr. (Jacob's son) in April of 1935 (Harpo was 46 years old) when the Ehret sons (George Ehret, Sr. died in 1927), wounded by Prohibition and their father's resistance to bottling years earlier, packed up and moved to Brooklyn to operate on a smaller scale there. This more than doubled the plant size of Ruppert's Brewery, now standing as a behemoth from East 90th to 94th Streets. What people remember as the Ruppert Brewery in later years was actually, in part, George Ehret's Hellgate Brewery, including his famous clock tower that stood in place for over one hundred years. I find that it is more likely that our beloved Harpo was apparently remembering the mansion and orchards of George Ehret, Sr. and not his colleague and friend, Jacob Ruppert, Sr. Ruppert and Ehret were close friends whose families even intermarried. Jacob also gave the middle name of Ehret to one of his sons.
Col. Jacob Ruppert Jr. lived in his parent's mansion until 1925, about 18 months after his mother died. He moved into an apartment across the street where he remained until his death in 1939. Actually, other family members had apartments in the same building up until 1991. Jacob Jr.'s apartment is now owned by Paul and Joanne Woodward-Newman. Yes, he had an estate on the Hudson River in Garrison, NY, complete with a commanding view of West Point across the river . It is now St. Basil Academy who so kindly let me visit frequently as his estate sold it to them in 1944. As a young man, my late father was its last resident during the war years.
If I may, your "theory" is incorrect vis a vis the Jacob Ruppert Brewery. Actually, Col Jacob Ruppert, Jr. (1867-1939) took full control of the brewery in 1915 upon his father's death and further launched it to even higher success and notoriety, enough to fund massive Manhattan real estate interests (like Ehret did) and maintain his purchase of the New York Yankees, a team that remained in the Ruppert family until 1945. Yes, the brewery did later decline but only after the death of Jacob Jr (1939) and his brother George (1948) when a host of issues ripened including internal family disputes, aggressive moon-promising developers, union problems and, most of all, competition with national brands from Milwaukee (we were still considered a regional brewery). Eventually, its control eventually rested with a son-in-law of Uncle Georgie's who lacked education on beer or the brewing industry. In the end, the value of the plant and the land beneath it exceeded his desire to run a brewery, so his immediate family's narrow margin of stock ownership forced the sale to a property management company deeply disappointing many other Ruppert descendants. The plant was razed in the late 1960s and in 1973 became the Ruppert, Knickerbocker and Yorkville Tower Apartments, a 3000-apartment development complete with its one-acre Ruppert Park. It remains a monument to Ehret and Ruppert to this day.
As for the Ehret-Ruppert Clock tower, it was ardently pursued by historians to be preserved by the city and was on the verge of such protection until, to the further despair of Ruppert and Ehret descendants as well as the warm-hearted residents of Yorkville, it was burned by vandals as it sat in the vacant lot of the brewery surrounded by chain link fencing.
I hope this information will be useful to you and your website-fans. Should you think that I could be of further service, I hope you will contact me.
Again, I enjoy your website.

This is fantastic news if everything pans out properly. For a long time now there's been a much needed conversation about bringing more female directors to the forefront, whether it be for big superhero films or small indies. When Warner Bros. and DC announced that they would indeed be beating Marvel to the punch when it comes to making a standalone movie about a female superhero with Wonder Woman, there was quite a bit of speculation regarding which female director would get the gig (if a female director was even hired at all).
Michelle MacLaren was always on those speculative lists, often near the top. And for good reason. Not only can she handle character, but her episodes of Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad rank as some of the most cinematic installments of those series (which is saying something when you're going up against Rian Johnson and Neil Marshall). And now it looks like she might actually have the job. Hit the jump for more on Michelle MacLaren being in talks to direct the Wonder Woman movie. [Update: THR reports that Jennifer Kent (The Babadook) and Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland) have also met with Warner Bros.]
Per The Wrap:
Warner Bros.'s Wonder Woman movie may be zeroing in on a director choice — and a female one at that. Sources say Michelle MacLaren is emerging as a frontrunner to direct a Wonder Woman spinoff movie. Warners had no comment. It is unclear what stage of talks MacLaren is in with the studio, which is keeping a tight lid on its DC Entertainment-based projects. But sources say MacLaren has had several meetings with the studio regarding the project.
This, in my mind, is absolutely the right choice. Wonder Woman will of course be played by Gal Gadot, who will be making her debut appearance as the character in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice next year. The Wonder Woman movie is scheduled to hit cinemas on June 23, 2017. That year will also see the release of the new Wolverine movie, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok, The Fantastic Four 2, Black Panther, and Justice League Part One. Be sure to check out our comprehensive list of superhero movie release dates from now up until 2020.

Best Ways To Write A Long Research Paper – Expert Suggestions
Writing a research paper can be hard for many people. It takes a lot of time to plan out and to write up. The planning is key to doing the writing more quickly. If you have planned out a well thought out paper than writing it should be a breeze for you. Here are some expert suggestions that will get you ready to write on any topic with ease.
Expert Suggestions
- Have all your information ready in one place
- Make a detailed outline using the information that you gathered
- Use the outline as a step by step guide
Have All of Your Information Ready in One Place
When doing an assignment like this, even the name makes it clear that you must gather up information on your chosen or given topic. Once you have done this, make sure that it is all included in one place. This works whether you use paper and a pen or a laptop to work. Having all of this information in one place gives you an advantage. You never have to go back to sources to recheck anything because you wrote or typed it all down already. This will also help you with the next step.
Make a Detailed Outline Using the Information That You Gathered
As you learned in the younger grades in school, an outline can be a powerful tool. With this finished, not only is all of your information in one place but it is all in order as well with points of focus and a good flow so you can see what the paper will look like once done. If you skip this step than the writing process becomes a lot harder than it has to be, especially for long assignments like these.
Use the Outline as a Step By Step Guide
This outline, if done properly, will now be a step by step guide to writing your paper. The title of the outline becomes the title of your paper. Then number 1 becomes the first paragraph, and each bullet point becomes a sentence on that subtopic. Now with everything in its place writing a long research paper becomes easy.
When receiving an assignment like this one, it is common for one to become intimidated by all of the work ahead of them. As long as the work is spread out over the time given and not done last minute, it will not feel like a lot of work all at once.

My hands are quite tired (and so am I), I guess I'll just be finishing hubby's card then I'll freshen up and go to sleep. Dinner is waiting and hubby did the cooking (he's so sweet).
Be back later....
a place where you can find my scrapbook pages, cards, altered projects and DIY crafts that I have created. I'm learning a lot in the process and enjoying the outcome of my creativity that God has bestowed upon me that's why I want to share it with you. GOD gets all the credit for these. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

SC185 Challenge and another Carolers card
I stamped the image onto SU! Whisper White cardstock and matted them to SU! Garden Green. I coloured the cute image with my waterdcolour pencils with the help of my blender pen. I really enjoyed colouring them, they're gorgeous. I will make other cards using the same image but will colour it using other medium. We'll then see the difference. For now, I have to go as I'm still in the process of finishing another card. (it's halfway through).
See you later. :)
House Mouse Christmas SC192
I'll be making more cards today so watch out for my blog for updates. It's been raining here in Sydney for 2 days now and hubby's here so I got more time to do some crafts and stuffs! (in between snuggling and hot chocolate! wow!) :)
Thanks for looking! God bless everyone.
I actually feel very sleepy now, it's already 1:40am but I decided to upload the cards that I was able to finish tonight (rather last night LOL!) to share them with you. I'll just put in the details tomorrow. Here are the cards..
There are lots of "firsts" in these cards:
* First time I used the toad stamp and the cupcakes stamp
* First time I used watercolour pencils with a blender pen
* First time I played along on SCS sketch challenge
* First time I used Deja Views double-sided paper
* and first time I used both sides of this double-sided paper LOL!
So, basically these cards will be memorable for me. More details tomorrow. Thanks for looking. Gotta sleep now....
God bless us all!
TOADALLY YOU and CUPCAKES (SC191 Sketch Challenge)
I put a lot of effort in tying the ribbon (I'm not good at this). I was even in front of the pc watching some tutorials on how to tie a ribbon...and I did it! (and that's another reason why I'm proud of this one LOL!) My husband told me that this card is gorgeous and that I'm getting better in making cards (what a sweet support).
So, tell me honestly...is this card gorgeous?? (hahaha!) I really hope my friend likes it. Let's wait and see. :)
See you later!
Blog Candy from Karen
The photo above was taken with camera flash on (that's why the glittery parts showed)
While this one was taken without the flash...
Got a bit of a migraine so I'll call this a day now. Will post more cards soon as I finished them. Btw, I'm already done with my SCS image swap (c/o SAMMI ) and will post them tomorrow. This is my first image swap and I'm soooo excited. ;)
Good night everyone. God bless you all.

Milos Teodosic saw just 24 minutes on Wednesday night, shooting 1-for-6 and finishing a loss to the Celtics with two points, three rebounds and six assists.
Certainly not his finest hour, but Teodosic has been playing well as of late. He's a top-120 option in 9-cat over the past two weeks, so anyone in 8-cat should be all over Milos when his turnovers aren't part of the equation. While there will be frustrating workloads and some off shooting nights, Teodosic should be owned in all formats as someone who can rack up assists, steals and threes.

The topic for Day 2 is "What is important to you?" ...What is important to me? Heck - what ISN'T important to me?! Caring too much is the cause of most of my worries already. But I'll tell you what I care about right now at this moment: the moon. Tonight is the new moon - the supermoon of 2015! When I was seven my parents divorced. They were very conscientious and probably read all of the "how-to-do-a-healthy-divorce-when-you-have-kids" books. Anyway they did their best. One day, according to my dad, I said to him that I felt better when I looked at the moon, because I knew it was the same moon he was looking at. I knew, even at 7 years of age, that the universe kept us connected. Maybe not in the magical new-agey way you might think, but we were together nonetheless.
The moon has always been special to me. I've resorted to a few whispers directed at that light in the sky. Sighs, secrets, straight up straight talk. In times of need there's been at least one night of ululation, if not more - howling at that moon for pain, pleasure, direction, liberation.
And every month, for almost the last twenty years, the moon has had more of an influence in my life than I'd like to admit. Women anywhere can tell you their cycles are synced with one another and the planet. And why not? The moon pulls the oceans and creates the tide, and humans are also made of water. That means physical and emotional experiences that are as real as fifty feet of water flooding the Bay of Fundy every day.
"Periods syncing? That's not scientifically proven," a man once told me. But I don't need statistics to tell me what I've known since I was seven. Whether it's spiritual belief or connection with nature, we are human animals, we are connected with the universe and each other, and it's that blessed mother of a moon that tells me so.
You see the moon at night, when darkness comes - the same darkness that plants and roots need to grow and ground. The same darkness where sleep and dreams heal the body and reorganize the soul. I've always been a bit afraid of the dark. I even avoid it in my photography - I stay safe and warm in the sunlight. But now it's a new chapter. Time to play in the moonlight and see what happens.

Unfortunately, there are fewer grants available for the authors who are in need. Authors do creative writing, but in order to sustain it, they have to publish their works and earn from it. This is where most authors fail. In addition to financial difficulties, there are also other factors in which authors become distressed and are unable to continue with their profession. There are lots of grants for authors in which foundations, organizations and institutions support their fellow authors to overcome tribulations and enable them to continue with his/her work.
Stephen King's Haven Foundation Grants
Stephen King created a foundation which gives support and assistance to deserving writers and even artists who became incapacitated to work as authors due to some tragic occurrences or events. Stephen King's Haven Foundation is providing grants for authors as well as artists' cash assistance of up to $25,000. The foundation he created is a national as well as non-profit organization in which they create grants for the freelance writers and artists who are experiencing illness that threatens his or her career. Unwanted accidents, natural phenomena such as personal and natural or emergencies. The application can be downloaded in the website (www.thehavenfdn.org) and be submitted to:
The Haven Foundation
PO Box 128 B
Brewer, Maine 04412
The Neighborhood Arts & Heritage of Greater Hartford Arts Council Grants
The Neighborhood Arts & Heritage of Greater Hartford Arts Council is one of the grants for authors in whom they support authors through assisting organizations in their goals of creating projects in the field of culture, history, and heritage as well as social services. This monetary assistance through the grant focuses on the programs and projects that make use of the arts as well as the heritage in enriching the worth of life in particular to its participants.
The cash grants will be funded under the GHAC's United Arts Campaign. The United Way Community Campaign also contributes to the program. The financial assistance can be from $500 up to $5,000. This financial assistance from GHAC can be used for different reasons such as the cost of the materials, supplies, facility rentals and even the marketing it can also be used for mentoring expenses. The deadline for the application on this grant is on the 2nd day of June, 2011. You can contact Elizabeth Hucker by emailing her at firstname.lastname@example.com or through phone call at 860-525-8629.
With these grants, there is another chance for unfortunate authors to shine.

My only dilemma is...which one?
2. Asos Double Fronted Coat
I like the first one!
I like them all so I'd say whichever keeps you the warmest. I don't usually worry too much about coats because here in Phoenix it's not that much of a problem but this morning it was 39 degrees when I got up and to me, that's the darn arctic!
I am all about being cozy and warm and I have the zara one. Its perfect for cold, snowy and freezing days:)
Happy Monday
It has been quite cold where i live to. I personally love the black one and the green one. very classy.
The top right is my favorite! And I always put my hands in my hubby's shirt. He hates it but I totally love it.
oh goodness...making my mouth water with these! I got a coat already but I've postponed wearing it because I'm so scared to get it dirty :)
I am a big fan of the Asos one!
just found your blog and i'm loving it. i need one of those coats to keep me warm in this coldy california weather.
ohh i like them all but i think a hood is essential!
I like the first one, looks super comfy and warm... The Asos one is pretty nice too xx
Top left, then buy me one too!
My husband swears I have a coat in every color haha
Love these coats! My faves are the 2nd and 3rd.
The Zara looks the warmest to me; but the toggle does have a very cozy neck warmer... which to choose? It's a dilemma. And I just love this sort of dilemma! :)
I love winter coats. I especially like the Toggle one, cute!
I love that about putting your hands up your hubby's shirt! :) These are all beautiful, totally different from one another - I'm slightly leaning towards the Zara just because it looks super warm (*and* sleek)! :)
Love the modcloth one! I totally forgot about them while online shopping!!
I like the first coat, stylish.
I love the one with the fur collar..looks so warm and comfy!
Miss Neira
2nd, but not in brown!
not one..ALL! :) All lovely jackets! let us know what you choose xo
haha..i had to buy winter coat somewhere during october, because here at central europe is freaking freezing!! :D mine is from zara aswell and it´s the best one i ever had :D
I love the bottom left! So chic!
The Zara coat has great style.
I really love #1!
I love the green zara coat. Perfect for casual outings and a great length for a chic sweater dress and boots.
thanks for the lovely comment
i love this post
the jacket is pretty awesome
check my new post
i hope you will like it
i absolutely adore that first winter coat!! of course it's from zara, i heart zara!!
aw, time for me to start breaking out the heavier coats too! Here in NYC this week the temps have finally dropped - not that happy about it though :-/
hopefully I can pull out some fun coats that will make the cold at least kind of worth it ;-)
I desperately need a new coat...it's just finding the time. Actually, I could probably get a really good deal today since it's cyber Monday:) I like the green one the most!
Have a lovely one, dear!
Julie xo
The Asos Double fronted is gorgeous, but doubting it will keep the cold out so maybe the Bostwick Wool?
Just invested in one myself from Hugo Boss, lovely but not very warm....
Which one are you leaning towards?
I just noticed what you wrote in your comments- that is such a nice way of putting it- I have thought about saying something about that (and the come enter my giveaway bit) but am more passive aggressive about it.
I love them! Especially the toggle :)
Looks so cozy
The first or second! I lovvvve that first one. CUTE!
ps-it's even cold here which i realize is relative, but seriously 36 degrees at night?? WHY?
I really love them all!
The most wintery stuff I buy is a hoodie and some long-sleeved t-shirts since it really doesn't get that cold around here, thank goodness! :)
Good luck this winter!
You might best go for Zara's parka. Don't forget snowboots too! & a furry hat.
Dressings in layers here.
The Zara coat is my very favorite! I really like 3, as well. Heck, I love them all.
Haha. I understand the trauma of losing mittens, as well!
Best wishes,
i am in love with the 2nd one. it's so chic and so cute! i would die for it!!
♥ allister bee fashion blog
Which ever one is the warmest, I'd say! I'm like you--I HATE being cold!
love the 2nd one!
I just orered a nice warm jacket, fingers crossed it arrived soon!
And I would go for the one from Zara - looks both stylish and warm :)
Love the Zara one - wish we had Zara here.
After a huge snow storm over the past couple of days, I'm officially finished with snow - if only thee wasn't more that needed shoveled.
love the asos one, gorgeous:x
love the second and last one! perfect for this winter.xx
Nice picks- I think #4 is my fave :)
the second one! its a classic and will go with anything!
the ASOS one is pretty amazing!
#2 looks like a great take on a Miu Miu I have seen earlier this winter. BUT scarves look completely ridiculous on top of it, and if you don't want to carry a cold all winter long, you might want to go for something a bit more close to your lovely neck.
#3 looks very fashionable but still warm?
Love the ASOS one but the Zara one is pretty stylish for an anorak too!
This is funny because I don't have a warm winter coat either. In LA I don't need one, but when we go someplace cold during the winter, I'm always miserable. I'm loving all of these, but something about #1 is really special to me.
the first one looks great!
Love the army green!
I Love this Winter Coat!!!))) Your post is lovely)))
awe, i totally put my hands up the boyfs shirt too!!!! guys are just always SO warm, it's irresistible.
i really like all your selects but thinking about a coat versatile enough to wear with anything from jeans & tee to a cocktail dress is a toughie. although number 4 could totally work, i can see it with both and all the in-betweens too. is the fur collar removable cos you could change it up with a variety of scarves also.
xo ♥
i like #2 and #3. let us know which one you'll pick! :D
<3, Mimi
every year i think i've going to invest in some coats, and every year i rely on my classic gray pea-coat. these are beautiful, though!
xo Alison
I'm definitely leaning towards #1 for sure! But a good reminder of something to add to my birthday list! Maybe you should get those mitten clips - like you'd have as a little kid, so you don't lose your mittens any more! ;)
xo anna
Tough choice! I'm liking #3 a lot.
I've chosen fashion over function with winter coats before. getting a coat with no pockets proved to be the dumbest idea ever.
Chic on the Cheap
#1 for sure! So cute!
Follow @UnraveldTreads on Twitter!
You had me at Zara :)
xox tash
I vote for the Zara coat for sure! I think you certainly need a coat girl. Read on twitter you lost your favorite hat. So sorry, I guess you will need to buy a hat to go with your new coat. Good luck with your selection:)
Amy R.
I like #2, that camel color is delicious!
Love that Modcloth coat -- gorgeous!
xo Josie
Last one! Last one! But that's just because I love anything with fur ;-)
first and the last :)
I am in desperate need of a winter coat! Loving that last one!
tough choice-they are all so different! I kind of like #1 for the color ,style and b/c it's fun to have a parka!
I really love how winter coats are becoming so much more fashionable. It almost, ALMOST, makes me excited for winter.
So pretty! I got a new one this year with a ruffle collar and am loving it.
Love the second one...
Have a great day, and thanks for all your lovely comments:)
#1 is more me... and I might be able to pull off #3, but can't do the other two. =) Good luck with your choice!
um! loving the army one!
number 3 is my fave. gotta love a cacoon coat! choosing fun things like coats is never a bad chore though :)
They're all so perfect, though coat number 2 is especially fantastic!

I'm not sure I've seen a bigger uproar in the airline industry than when Spirit Airlines introduced carry-on baggage fees last year. If I read 1 article I must've read a dozen saying that people would never pay it, and that passengers would stop flying Spirit, blah blah blah. Well, since then Spirit has continued to be one of the country's most consistently profitable airlines and, despite what pretty much every blogger type out there thinks, people continue to fly them in huge numbers.
I bring this up because news came out yesterday that Spirit earned $50 million from carry-on baggage fees in the first year since they've been levied. At $20-$30 each (depending on whether you're a $9 fare club member), that means they've collected fees on roughly 2 million bags. As a shareholder, you've got to be pretty satisfied with that.
And while passengers will continue to complain, if you've flown Spirit in the past year, you've probably noticed that boarding goes very quickly, since people are more likely to check their bags and less likely to try to jam oversized bags into overhead bins.
If loads on Spirit continue to be high (85.7% in November), and passengers continue to fly them (Revenue Passenger Miles up 21% year-over-year and load factor up 4 points year-over-year), Spirit, frankly, would be crazy NOT to charge carry-on fees. And I'm starting to think that major carriers are crazy leaving this money on the table. After all, 10 years ago would you imagine that network airlines would charge people for airplane food? Ten years from now (less?) everyone will charge for carry-on fees, under the guise that it allows for faster boarding, faster turnarounds and, hence, lower fares. Elites excluded, of course.

Bowhill Bed and Breakfast is set in the picturesque hamlet of Peat Inn, just a few miles from St Andrews.
St Andrews is best known as the 'home of golf' but this delightful historic town also offers excellent shopping, art galleries, Botanic Gardens and museums, and magnificent golden beaches. It also has far more restaurants and cafes than you would expect for a town of its size, ranging from fine dining, like the fabulous Rocca Grill, to cosy coffee shops and ice cream parlours.
In its heyday St Andrews Cathedral was a centre of pilgrimage and the largest church in Scotland. The museum has an excellent collection of sculptures including a superbly carved Pictish sarcophagus. You can also visit the British Golf Museum, which is handily situated not far from 18th Green of the Old Course.
For something a little different, East Neuk is a string of fishing villages for which the word 'picturesque' might have been invented.
Other recommended day trips include the Secret Bunker, St Andrews Aquarium, St Andrews Castle and the Scottish Fisheries Museum.
And when only the buzz of a big city will do, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow are all easily reached by car.

With all the rain in Austin, obviously ticket sales — and the live crowd count — took a beating at Circuit of the America for the U.S. Grand Prix.
Even without bad weather, though, ticket brokers saw this coming.
While early on prices were up for three-day passes for Formula One's big weekend at COTA, prices and demand declined precipitously for Sunday's race day.
The overall total number of tickets sold each year on the secondary market was down 89 percent from the peak in 2013, according to Ashley Kubiszyn of Austin-based TicketCity.
Kubiszyn said average sale prices have been increasing since 2013, the second year of the race; however, quantity of tickets sold is at an all-time low for the four-year event.
This year the average price for a three-day pass for $442 at TicketCity. In the inaugural year of 2012, they cost $375.
Sunday passes averaged $280, down from $360 the first year. Saturday passes were $65, down from $115 in year one. Friday passes were $17.
In reality, most on-site brokers only got a fraction of those amounts because they were just happy to dump them on anybody willing to brave the elements.

Sarah Reinertsen (born 22 May 1975) is an American paratriathlete and former Paralympic track athlete. She was born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, a bone-growth disorder; her affected leg was amputated above the knee at age seven.[1]
Early athletics career[edit]
Inspired by amputee marathon runner Paddy Rossbach,[2] Reinertsen began to run at age 11. At her first international track meet, when she was 13, she broke the 100 m world record for female above-knee amputees,[2] her T42 400 m world record time, set in 1999, still stands today.[3]
Reinertsen was a member of the US Disabled Track Team for 7 years,[4] she represented the USA at the 1992 Summer Paralympics[5] but found herself racing arm amputees due to low numbers of female competitors.[6] Although she was then world record holder in her own classification,[6] she came last in her heat.[7]
Ironman Triathlon and other endurance events[edit]
Reinertsen was the first female leg amputee to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii,[8] she first attempted the race in 2004, but was disqualified when she reached the end of the bike course 15 minutes after cut-off time. She returned to Kona in 2005, with a motto of 'Unfinished Business', and crossed the finish line in just over 15 hours.
Reinertsen has run marathons around the world, including NYC, LA, Millennium New Zealand, London and Boston.[2][9] In 2011, she was the first female leg amputee to run in The Great Wall Marathon in China, completing the 10k event in 1:49.[10]
Reinertsen has broken the women's above-knee amputee marathon record several times[11] but does not currently hold it.[12]
ITU Paratriathlon[edit]
In 2003,[13] 2007[14] and 2009,[15] Reinertsen was ITU Paratriathlon World Champion in her classification, she placed second (behind Melissa Stockwell) in 2011.[15] Reinertsen was a member of the USA Triathlon Paratriathlon National Team in 2008,[14] 2009,[16] 2010[17] and 2011.[18]
While better-known for her success in Ironman Triathlon, Reinertsen states that her "focus for 2013 and beyond is to train to qualify for the (newly introduced, sprint distance) triathlon event at the Paralympics in 2016".[6][10][19]
The Amazing Race[edit]
In 2006, Reinertsen competed with her friend, Ironman and prosthetist Peter Harsch,[20] on The Amazing Race 10, where they were eliminated in 7th place.
Honors and awards[edit]
- 1991: US Olympic Committee Best Female Athlete with a Disability
- 1998: New York Road Runners Club & Achilles Track Club Female Athlete of the Year [11]
- 2004: San Diego Hall of Champions Challenged Athlete Star of the Year [21]
- 2006: Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award [22]
- 2006: USAT Best Female Physically Challenged Triathlete of the Year
Reinertsen is a spokesperson for Ossur[23] and the Challenged Athletes Foundation.[1]
In 2004, she was featured on the cover of Runner's World[24] and named one of the first eight "Heroes of Running" in the magazine,[13] she has also appeared on the cover of Triathlete magazine,[25] Max Sports & Fitness[26] and Competitor,[27] and was controversially photographed naked for The Body Issue of ESPN.[28] Reinertsen was featured in the 2008 Lincoln MKZ 'Reach Higher' campaign [29] and the 2011 'Nike Throwdown' TV commercial.[30] Alongside elite athletes including Mirinda Carfrae, Chris Lieto, Nathan Adrian and Dara Torres, she is one of the faces of the 2012 Team Refuel/Got Chocolate Milk? campaign.[31]
In 2009, Reinertsen released a memoir, In a Single Bound: Losing My Leg, Finding Myself and Training for Life.[2]
She graduated from The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs with a BA in Communication and International Affairs, and received her MA in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Southern California.[32] Formerly a sports journalist, once working for NBC,[11] she is now a motivational speaker.[33]
A native of New York, Reinertsen now lives and trains in California.

Hammering the attack buttons like a woodpecker on Red Bull still allows noobs to pull off some flashy moves, but the real fun begins when you try to learn to play it properly, and the roster overkill is a barrier to that.
That's not really a flaw, but a fact that needs to be drawn to your attention. However, the game is far more culpable in how it might cheese off the long-term Tekken fan. The ability to juggle your opponent in mid-air with a combo has been cranked up a notch, and while the player on the receiving end can always counter, it can make for a frustrating experience, particularly if a skilled player takes you all the way to the wall, taking off as much as half of your energy in a matter of seconds.
Luckily, struggling players will always have a chance. The all-new Rage Meter significantly increases the player's attacking prowess once their lifebar dips below 5%, making for some frantic finales and tremendous turnarounds. It originally proved a controversial addition in the arcades, but after being toned down in the Bloodline Rebellion revision is an intriguing tactical addition, and even if you disagree, you can always fiddle around in the customization mode.
The balance between the characters is variable, as it is in all fighting games, but the difference between best and worst is smaller and more surmountable than in Street Fighter IV. You can't just fall back on old favorites, either; the fighters who have survived the cut from Tekken 5 have, in some cases, changed dramatically. Take perennial fan favorite Yoshimitsu. In storyline terms, Yosh comes to realize that his famed energy sword is losing power and seals it away. Stripped of his iconic blade, he becomes trickier to master – certainly not for beginners.
The new additions to the series are a fairly likeable bunch. Bob is an American karate artist of some renown who went into hiding after a succession of defeats to larger opponents. He re-emerges now, proudly displaying his new, morbidly obese physique – all that blubber, you see, will allow him to go toe-to-toe with the bulkiest. (Or at least, that's his story.) He's Tekken's equivalent to SFIV's Rufus – not much to look at, but deceptively agile.
Although Tekken's true appeal is in multiplayer, there are plenty of single-player options to keep you going. The arcade mode is brief and is once again blighted with a final boss as cheap as Seth from SF IV, but is redeemed by a clever ranking system that allows you to earn promotion, ensuring that you always have an achievable goal. Throughout the single-player modes, Tekken 6 remembers your win/loss record for each character and displays it underneath your lifebar. Hardly unique amongst fighting games, but its prominent placing on the screen does help spur you on.
Not so successful, however, is the dire 'Scenario' mode, which whisks the crew from their one-vs-one comfort zone into the unfamiliar territory of a scrolling beat-'em-up. It's disastrous, riddled with rigid controls, uninspired enemies and boring bosses. Trying to squeeze some fun out of it is like trying to squeeze an egg out of a badger. Just ignore it. It might go away.
? Uh, no. Not by a long shot, we're afraid. While Tekken keeps going for the "more is more" approach, Street Fighter wisely went for less in many ways, and came out with a leaner fighter that reinvigorated the franchise. In fact, Tekken could take some lessons from Ryu and crew when it comes to developing the next installment.
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger? Again, no, but it's not really worse either. Both are similar in that they aren't shy of incorporating ridiculous elements into their action, although BlazBlue definitely wins the arms race through pure, eye-exploding craziness. Still Tekken 6 wins out in the roster department, and has the benefit of established characters that a huge fanbase has loved for years.
SoulCalibur IV? Sorry, but nope. SoulCalibur has always been Namco's favorite scrappy child, with its gorgeous visuals and nifty weapon-based combat. It's managed to remain relatively lean in the characters and moves department, and so benefits for a greater array of truly unique-feeling fighters. Plus its core combat mechanics are just tighter and better balanced.
Finally, as a bonus, here's our Tekken fashion video, showcasing one of the game's unnecessary, yet time-wastingly fun additions, the costume editor:

In recent months, my secondary school and university alma maters have been aggressively promoting the alumni activities. If you are wondering, I finished 'O' Levels from Catholic High School and got my bachelor degree at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
There is a big difference in which alma mater I feel a more sense of belonging. NTU Alumni currently boasts their new club house at One Buona Vista, top-class facilities and membership privileges.
On the other hand, Catholic High Alumni recently announced that they are using the current school compound as a Recreation Club every Saturdays, where alumni members can use the facilities.
To me, it's not the million-dollar facilities that entice me, these are merely material. All an alumnus asks for a a place where he feels a sense of belonging and evokes memories of old. And there's no better way than to offer an opportunity for us to return to the school where we lived and played. Even though the current school compound is not the one we went to school, it's the feeling of 'back-to-school' that instantly transports us back to the schooling days.
If you are once a Catholic High School student, visit the alumni page at http://www.cha.org.sg/ and join the activities, meet old classmates, get back some of those lost memories.

We've built a mini/protable Theatre Jukebox that can fit in a suitcase!
We were approached by Ruth Farrar who wanted to use the Theatre Jukebox design to present a project she was working on in New York. With Jo Lathwood's help we came up with a design that retains the look and feel of the original Jukebox, but in a more compact form. The main differences are that it has a lightweight LED projector and that it doesn't have an integrated seat.
Ruth's project was commissioned by the ACFNY Moving Sounds Festival and took place at the ACFNY Library, on the building's 4th floor, for the duration of the festival. From Austria to America: A Digital Sound Walk moves beyond the traditional boundaries of a sound walk to digitally take a listener on a journey of personal memories that delve beneath the surface of picture perfect images of the United States. Using headphones, the listener can enter the worlds of Austrians who have moved to America. These personal journeys are mapped out through audio interviews accompanied by a postcard's minimal visuals to explore universal themes of home sickness, tourist expectations versus the reality of living in a place, and the process of creating a new home away from one's homeland.
The mini/portable Theatre Jukebox can also display our previous sets of cards and is available for projects close to home or internationally.

Tips For Buying a Commercial Property
Omkar Phatak
Nov 18, 2018
Buying a commercial property is generally a heavy investment, that needs an adequate amount of thought. In here, we provide some tips, that will help you make a smart purchase.
If you are considering investing in brick and mortar and are thinking of buying commercial real estate, there are many points of consideration. Unlike any other investment, putting your money here, can be a tough decision to make.
Investment Tips
Commercial real estate investment is all about creating a cash flow generating asset and all your efforts need to be directed towards ascertaining its potential value. It's no secret that these are times of economic recession and the real estate market has taken a beating.
However, if you think optimistically, this is a time of opportunity, as a piece of real estate, which was beyond your reach in boom time, can be bought at a substantially lower price today.
Here are the major points of consideration, while purchasing a commercial property. These are certain pertinent questions, which need to be asked, that help you assess the profit potential of a real estate investment and make your choice simpler.
What Kind of Property are You Looking For?
Even before you can start thinking about this investment, you need to have a plan about the revenue generating mechanism or business plan, that is going to reap cash for you, through this investment.
Are you planning to buy a rental property, business premises for your company, or a shop? If you make up your mind regarding this, you'll know what type of property to look for. That will simplify your search.
What's Your Budget?
The next thing to ponder upon is to come up with a maximum purchase limit. If you are planning to make the purchase using a mortgage loan, then you need to decide on the maximum down payment, that you could make.
A knowledge of your purchase limit will see to it that you don't go overboard, when negotiating on price and land up in a soup. Start looking for banks that offer commercial real estate mortgage loans, once you decide the property, which you plan to buy. There are many financing options to choose from.
How to Search For Them?
There are various channels through which you can search for such properties. Online and print classifieds are a place to start your search from.
Approaching a real estate agent is one of the best ways of searching, as they have extensive databases of properties for sale. They can find you a property, that fits within your price range and requirement. Be on the lookout for properties being auctioned.
How to Evaluate the Revenue Potential?
When it comes to evaluating the value of real estate, with respect to commercial gain, location matters. Consider what is the scale of profits, that you can hope to make, from those premises.
If it's a rental establishment, calculate what is the cash inflow. If you plan to open a shop or your company office there, location is the most important factor.
Ensure that title of the property is clear and get an architect to evaluate the structural solidity of the building, if it's an old one. See if there are any pending tax payment issues associated with it.
Get a real estate consultant to provide you with a valuation of the property, according to current market prices. This is known as an appraisal. When all of your homework is done and you choose a property, make an offer to the seller yourself, or via his real estate agent.
Negotiate for a fair price and arrange for a mortgage if the deal goes through. See to it that all the legal formalities are handled properly. A real estate attorney can handle it for you. Once you buy the property, you could either opt to manage it on your own or let a management firm handle it for you.
To sum up, leave no stone unturned in evaluating the earning potential of a property before you buy it. If the potential is substantial, the risk you take while opting for a mortgage loan, is lessened.

On October 19, 2013 not only did I get to marry a beautiful, smart, strong, fun, perfect girl, (despite being from the same town as the Pacers) but I also had the dream of the A and B team come true. Over the years I have attended, stood up and photographed many weddings. It was no secret I wanted to do something that I had never seen. Being that I have a lot of guy friends and each one is as important to me as the next. I decided not to have the traditional "groomsmen" or "ushers." I decided to create an A-Team and a B-Team. The A-Team aka The Pillars consisted of my best man Jim and a solid group of gentleman that were not only influential in my life but have been apart of my life for many years. The B-Team aka The Band of Misfits is another solid group of gentleman that influenced my life, for better or worse. haha. This was incredibly thought out. All the jersey numbers correspond to real Bulls players. The A-Team corresponding to the 90's Bulls and the B-Team corresponding to the current Bulls.I remember becoming overwhelmed when I got engaged on December 25, 2012, only because the planning started about 30 minutes after the proposal. During that 30 minutes, as I heard Lindsay and her mom talking about locations, photographers, dresses, etc. etc. I thought about this and it came out even better than I imagined.
