February 13, 2017 - Just had our last bottle of 2007. Almost 10 years old, it's bold and mature. Powerful with cassis, black fruits, scent of wood. It drank beautifully without any air time. I had quite some 07 SM before, and you can tell this is a wine that ages really well, compared how closed it was just two years ago. Impressive! Wish we had bought more.1 person found this helpful Comment

December 23, 2016 - PnP at restaurant. Tell tale signs of oak on the nose, present on palate too. Medium bodied. Despite the oak, pretty well balanced with black currant, dark fruits. Extremely smooth and silky texture. + bonus points for texture. Just a bit too much oak for my taste, but still enjoyable.
Every other Smith Madrone cab I've drank has had an herby eucalyptus note that I love, and I didn't find that this time.
Saving more for day 2, will revise if changes.1 person found this helpful Comment

October 1, 2016 - This was just straight-up awesome. In a great place right now and for the price point it's an unbelievable deal. Wine was well integrated, more old world Napa style. Very approachable. Suspect it can go for many more years, but nice to see it aging so incredibly well.1 person found this helpful Comments (3)

FOOTBALL; Jets Take First Step Toward Improving
By AL HARVIN,
Published: July 16, 1991
HEMPSTEAD, L.I., July 15— If readiness makes a difference, the Jets are in much better shape than last year as they prepare for training camp and the first steps toward improvement on last season's 6-10 record.
Veterans and rookies have been trickling into the Hofstra University training facility here and are scheduled to arrive by Tuesday's 7 P.M. deadline. Testing and physical exams will be conducted Wednesday and two-a-day drills begin Thursday.
The difference this season will show in the attendance sheet. Except for Morris (Mo) Lewis, a linebacker who was the third-round draft choice out of Georgia, all of the Jets' draftees are in the fold. Of the last two unsigned veterans, John Galvin signed last week and Troy Johnson has agreed to terms, and both of those reserve linebackers are expected to be here on time. Contrast to Last Year
This is in marked contrast to last year when Blair Thomas, the No. 1 pick out of Penn State, held out until the third preseason game and Reggie Rembert, the No. 2 choice, never did sign and was eventually traded.
In addition, seasoned center Jim Sweeney missed the entire training camp in a contract holdout. Thomas got off to a slow start and was bothered by injuries, while Sweeney's absence created more uncertainty on an already shaky offensive line.
Dick Steinberg, the general manager of the Jets who is in his second year at the helm, declined today to take credit for the team's current state of readiness.
"There was a little bit of luck involved this year," said Steinberg, who came with a reputation of building the Rams and the Patriots into Super Bowl contenders. "We didn't have that many veterans with outstanding contracts and we didn't have a No. 1 draft pick." Forfeited No. 1 Pick
The Jets forfeited their No. 1 pick this year by taking Rob Moore, the wide receiver out of Syracuse, in last year's supplemental draft. They used their second-round choice to select strong-armed quarterback Browning Nagle of Louisville.
They signed Nagle more than two weeks ago, so he should be ready to do battle with Ken O'Brien, last year's starter; Troy Taylor, the fourth-round pick out of California last year, and Turk Schonert, who was signed as a free agent after the season.
"Obviously, we're way ahead of last year but we still have a long way to go," Steinberg said.
Another thing that helped Steinberg this year is that he didn't wait for the draft to start filling his immediate needs. Just before the Plan B phase for free agents, he used trades to beef up his offensive line by getting a pair of massive tackles, Ron Mattes from Seattle and Irv Eatman from Kansas City. Experienced Defensive Help
Then Steinberg used Plan B for experienced defensive help, signing Bill Pickel, a nine-year veteran tackle with the Raiders, and John Bosa, a defensive end from Miami.
He also grabbed Bobby Houston, a linebacker, who was the highest 1990 draftee available in Plan B (No. 3 by Green Bay) and stocked up on speed for the defensive backfield in Mike Brim from Minnesota and R. J. Kors from Seattle. And in June he traded an undisclosed 1992 draft choice to the Phoenix Cardinals for Lonnie Young, a seven-year defensive back.
With all this new help, and with almost everybody signed, it would appear that Steinberg has a lot to be happy about. Still, he's cautious.
"I try not to get too overjoyed by looking at guys working out in shorts in the weight room," Steinberg said. "I like to wait until they have the pads on and make that first contact in a game situation."

Add a little Christmas fun to your homeschool lessons.
Your preschoolers will love adding some Christmas activities to their lessons throughout the coming holiday season.
Help them practice counting from 1-10 with this fun Christmas Counting Memory Game.
Christmas Counting Memory Game
This pack includes twenty cards for a unique Christmas memory game. I suggest printing the cards on printer paper.
After cutting each page into individual cards, glue the cards on construction paper leaving a border around each card.
Laminate the construction paper cards. Cut out the cards again. This keeps kids from being able to the numbers on the front of the cards.
Once your cards are prepared, shuffle them well. Lay them out facedown on the table or floor.
Take turns flipping over two cards. Have your preschoolers count the ornaments on the decorated trees. Then, have them find the matching numeral.
Play continues until all matches have been found!
This activity helps preschoolers practice counting from one to ten. They also practice number recognition as they find the matching numeral.
• Have children to find matches in number order – finding one first, then two…
• Adjust the cards accordingly, and have preschoolers count the ornaments on the tree and find the number that is one more or one less.
• Have your little ones put the cards in number order as they find a match. They may find matches 5, 1, and 8. Have them put those cards in order creating a number line. Then, have them fill in the gaps as they find new matches.
Get your Christmas Memory Game.

Christian Morrow, New Pittsburgh Courier - November 28, 2013
"In September, Community Empowerment Association CEO Rashad Byrdsong told the New Pittsburgh Courier that the Homewood Community would to to show some self-reliance because Superman is not coming to save us and help address the problems that lef to a rash of gun violence at the time.
He said that after key political and financial entities failed to come to a scheduled meeting on the matter.
What a difference two months makes.
With stakeholder representatives, and residents coordinating needs and service delivery and eliminating repetition, Byrdsong says Homewood is creating community advisory boards and councils that can deal with foundations and the incoming Peduto administration from the ground up.
"For the first time, we have both (the YMCA and YWCA), Primary Healthcare, CCAC, A Second Chance, Operation Better Block, and the Salvation Army working together toward developing a coordinated matrix of services," said Byrdsong.
"We have indigenous leadership on the economy, public safety, and education."
Byrdsong said this achievement has slowly been built from the framework of the CEA's Urban Agenda work, during which he found that while there are a number of service providers in the community, they didn't know each other.
"So now, we are getting to know each other, we're breaking bread together, and we're getting together on joint events," he said. "One of these is our new Midnight Basketball piece to get at this problem of youth violence.
"Yeah, it sounds old and done before, but we're going to have the social service, education, employment and health care providers right there, because the kids we're targeting don't use conventional service providers."
Sponsorship for the event included Mistick Construction, Mascaro Construction, and KBK Foundation, as well as the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.
The sponsors are also an outgrowth of the employment initiatives throughout the community, including CEA students and construction graduates working on the Homewood Station senior building just a few blocks away.
Father David Taylor of St. Charles Lwanga Church said ever since he got to Homewood in the mid-1970s, cohesion among community service providers has always been a problem. So he fully supports what Byrdsong, Operation Better Block, the Ys and everyone else are doing. "I am glad to see them coming together, to see it happening," he said.Continue Reading...

The sense of pre-ordination pointing to a repeat of last year's Wigan- Leeds final casts Rovers in the role of gatecrashers at the party. They are well-equipped to crash through a few gates. Under David Ward, whose sacking as Leeds coach in 1991 is just one of the ingredients that adds spice at Elland Road this afternoon, Featherstone have settled into impressive form, with eight wins in their last nine matches contrasting vividly with the run of nine defeats that preceded them.
Their captain and prop forward, Steve Molloy, is another Leeds discard with extra incentive and, in Matt Calland and Brendon Tuuta, they have two of the most uncompromisingly physical backs in the business.
Both last summer's major signings have come good under Ward. Daniel Divet seems to have settled his differences with the club and Mark Aston, a disappointment early in the season, has recovered his confidence.
Rovers' collective confidence has been boosted as much by Leeds' recent form as by their own successes. For sides to lose sight of the job in hand when Wembley beckons is an annual syndrome; to do so when second in the table and bidding for the championship betrays a continuing brittleness of temperament that has been noted with interest at Post Office Road.
Even in victory at Bradford last week, Leeds looked sluggish and rugby league history is full of teams "saving themselves" and then failing to produce the goods in the match they have been saving themselves for.
And yet this Leeds side is full of potential match-winners. The fact that Kevin Iro has been off the boil makes him all the more dangerous today and his combination with Craig Innes in the centres is a major threat. Featherstone could also struggle to contain Alan Tait and Ellery Hanley, who is now within two tries of the all-time record for a forward in a season.
Their status as the underdogs means that most neutrals will be urging on Rovers this afternoon. That sentimental support will be tempered by one doubt. Leeds, with their proven big-match performers and their experience last year, could conceivably give Wigan a game at Wembley. Could Featherstone?
Wigan, meanwhile, try to repair the minor damage to their championship prospects of their defeat at Halifax on Wednesday when they meet them again tomorrow. "We can expect a backlash," said the Halifax stand-off, Michael Hagan, who has decided to retire and return to Australia at the end of the season.
Leeds: Tait; Fallon, Iro, Innes, Cummins; Schofield, Holroyd; Howard, Lowes, Faimalo, Mercer, Eyres, Hanley. Substitutes: Mann, Harmon.
Featherstone Rovers: Gibson; Butt, Rodger, Calland, Hughes; Tuuta, Aston; Molloy, Southernwood, Casey, Divet, G H Price, Roebuck. Substitutes: Nixon, Nadiole.
Referee: D Campbell (Widnes).

Secure Transportation Services
Cash Delivery Solutions
The dangers of transporting cash, such as theft and serious injuries to employees, are huge. Eliminate risk by using our secure transportation services to move cash and other valuable assets securely and safely from your business to the bank. Each of our armored vehicles is staffed with a team of highly trained Cash Services Officers who will collect the cash and deposit it on time, ensuring accounts do not become overdrawn and accelerating the speed at which your money starts earning interest for you. And with the most expansive footprint in North America, we can be your single chain of custody, offering end-to-end services no matter where your stores—or your banks—are located.
Request a quote
"In the retail environment, creating efficiencies is key, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice security. GardaWorld helped me decrease my risk profile by offering a cost-effective alternative to Store Managers performing bank runs. We saved on payroll hours while at the same time took the liability off our employees and showed positive results in deposit accuracy."
– Leo Doran, former VP of Loss Prevention for Chico's FAS Inc.
Managing your risk
In addition to risk, self-banking robs businesses and their managers of valuable time, better spent serving customers and building profits rather than making trips to the bank. Using our secure transportation service allows you to gain that time back. In fact, when you account for time away from the store, in the long term, self-banking can cost more than having a cash services provider.
Complete transparency
Our daily accountability framework, CashTrak, is the system used to track dates of delivery, scheduled stops and stops serviced. It is a sophisticated online tracking system that reduces your paperwork and improves consistency and accuracy. With the online CashTrak Web Viewer, you can see the status of your deposits and orders, plus receive proof of delivery.

Cable Ready
Cyrus Field and the epic struggle to lay the first transatlantic cable.
In todays era of high-speed communications and global connectivity its difficult to imagine a time when news traveled no faster than it could be delivered in person. After all, a message can now be sent around the world in less time than it takes to read this sentence. But as late as the 1860s the only way to transmit information across oceans was by ship, which meant weeks of lag time between sender and receiver. Naturally, the completion of the first sustainable transatlantic telegraph line (1866) redefined international communicationsliterally overnight. But like many so-called overnight sensations, the transatlantic cable was years in the makingtwelve years to be exact. It took five attempts, the largest ship in the world and millions of dollars of capital to overcome the long list of catastrophes and human errors that plagued the project.
The catalyst for this communications revolution was Cyrus Field, a doggedly persistent American businessman who made a small fortune in the paper and printing business before turning his attention to laying a cable across several thousand miles of ocean. Field was one of the worlds first notable entrepreneurs (the term was coined in 1852), pushing, pulling and cajoling his fellow investors to keep moving forward, even in the face of seemingly hopeless circumstances. While many of his early investment partners decided to cut their losses after the first few failed attempts, Fields persistence eventually paid off, as the transatlantic cable earned him worldwide fame and enormous riches. Unfortunately for Field, he was a better entrepreneur than investor and lost nearly all his wealth before his death in 1892, perhaps diminishing his significance in our collective historical memory.
In the new book, A Thread Across The Ocean: The Heroic Story Of The Transatlantic Cable (Walker & Company), author John Steele Gordon revisits Field's accomplishments and recounts this relatively unknown story in all its disastrous detail. Considering recent developments in communications, its a tale that is surprisingly relevant, even 150 years later.
Ignorance Is Bliss
Ironically, when a Canadian engineer named Frederick Gisborne presented Field with the comparatively modest idea of connecting New York and Newfoundland via telegraph line, he was unimpressed. Why bother? thought Field, who estimated it would speed communication from Europe by only a day or so. Then he looked at the map and saw that Newfoundland was one-third of the way [across the Atlantic], notes Gordon, "and knowing absolutely nothing about what was involved said, Hey, lets put a cable across the Atlantic Ocean.
Field wrote to Samuel F.B. Morse (who produced the first telegraph of practical use) and Lieutenant Matthew Fontaine Maury of the United States Navy (a premier oceanographer), asking about the feasibility of the concept. Ignorant of the technical problems involved, both expressed enthusiasm for the project and considered its success inevitable.
At that point, Field set out in search of investment partners, joining with four other exceptionally successful New York businessmen to form the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company. They set out to raise the enormous sum of $1.5 million (2.5% of the total annual expenditures of the federal government) and planned to begin by connecting New York and Newfoundlandthe easy part of the venture. This involved running a line across hundreds of miles of southern Newfoundland, laying an 85-mile submarine cable across the Cabot Strait and adding a 140-mile line across Cape Breton Island. It turned out to be much more difficult to put the line across southern Newfoundland than they had anticipated, says Gordon. To this day nobody lives there[there are] precipitous cliffs and the weather is unbelievably awful, he continues.
Come Aboard, We're Expecting You
While Newfoundlands weather and terrain presented its share of obstacles, the groups first attempt at laying a submarine cable was an unmitigated disaster. The Cabot Strait expedition involved two ships; the Sarah L. Bryant, charged with laying the cable; and the James Adger, which was chartered to tow the Sarah L. Bryant as well as provide luxurious accommodations for the wives and distinguished guests of the investors. As a result, the expedition was part technology experiment, part romantic luxury cruise. They didnt have a clue what they were doing, says Gordon. They had ladies in long dresses and Newfoundland dogs galumphing about while they were trying to lay the cable from a sailing ship being towed by a steamer. In the end, the first attempt at crossing the strait cost $351,000a dead lossroughly one-quarter of the companys capital.
However, the lessons learned were invaluable and a year later, in 1856, a purely professional expedition managed to successfully lay a cable across Cabot Strait and complete the overland portion of the project. But by this time, the company had exhausted all of its resources.
Aside from overcoming the challenge of physically laying cable across vast expanses of saltwater, Field & Co. needed to purchase cable that would not deteriorate under the harsh conditions. Without the benefit of any technical expertise Field was forced to rely on the opinion of John Brett, head of Englands Magnetic Telegraph Company and the worlds foremost authority on submarine telegraph cable. For the companys maiden project Brett recommended a cable made up of three copper wires, each individually insulated by gutta-percha, with the bundle then wrapped in tarred hemp, covered with another layer of gutta-percha and encased in galvanized iron wire.
In the end, the original cable didnt function well anyway, mostly because of its small diameter. "It was only about as big around as a little finger, recalls Gordon, so it was subject to breaking and just wasnt big enough to carry the electric load that needed to be carried.
Show Me The Money
With the company flat broke, Field turned to England for additional financing. Owing to its far-flung empire, the British government had a keen interest in supporting any technological advances that might speed international communications. At the same time, they were decidedly passive in their approach. They said, once you raise the capital and lay the cable and it works, we guarantee to use the cable to the extent that it will pay the interest on the capital. It makes it a lot easier to borrow money if you have a guaranteed customer, reminds Gordon.
In October 1856 Field chartered the Atlantic Telegraph Company (ATC) in London and began selling stock in the new venture. Although British investors snapped up three-quarters of the stock in a matter of weeks, Field was forced to hold twenty-five percent of the company, leaving him financially vulnerable.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government was far less enthusiastic about the project. Many Congressmen felt the cable would be of little practical use to the United States, while others distrusted new technology or resented Englands involvement. You hardly ever encounter it anymore, says Gordon, but there was this distinctive Anglophobia, basically a hangover from the Revolution and the War of 1812.
Addicted To That Rush
With the British now representing a majority stake in the venture, Field & Co. rushed to lay additional cable. Cyrus Fields greatest weakness was that he was always in a hurry. He should have taken the time to do more experimentation and trainingpracticing laying cables and stuff like that, notes Gordon.
Despite considerable disagreement about the specifications necessary to ensure a functional transatlantic line, Field contracted for 2,500 nautical miles of new cable at a cost of £225,000. Two shipsthe USS Niagara and HMS Agamemnonwere hastily loaded with 1,250 miles of cable each, and sailed west from southern Ireland. After 400 miles of cable had been uncoiled and paid-out over a poorly designed wheeled track aboard the Niagara, the cable suddenly parted and plunged two-and-a-half miles to the ocean floor. Another year and £36,000 worth of cable had been irretrievably lost.
The Perfect Storm
In the intervening year, new paying-out machinery was designed under the watchful eye of Atlantic Telegraphs chief engineer, William Everett, while scientist and physicist William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin, for whom the Kelvin temperature scale is named) tested the electrical conductivity of the companys cable. At this point, Thomson was probably making the best of a bad situation. The first person who really understood the technical problems was Thomson, says Gordon. But by the time he came into the project the cable had already been manufactured. He was appalled by the cable when he saw it. Im sure he didnt say so, but he thought, This aint gonna work.
Meanwhile, the company directors decided that on the next attempt the Niagara and Agamemnon should lay cable simultaneously beginning at a point in the mid-Atlantic and then proceed in opposite directions. On the way to their rendezvous point the ships encountered a fierce storm, with six consecutive days of gale force winds threatening to capsize both vessels. The vast majority of the cable on each ship was stored below deck, but the 250 tons above deck on the Agamemnon threatened to break loose from its moorings all the while. When the wind and rain finally abated, forty-five crew members required treatment for injuries that ran the gamut from broken limbs to temporary insanity, and 100 miles of cable was tangled in a ball.
Nevertheless, the ships eventually reached their destination and began their respective assignments. No sooner had they started when the cable came apart in the Niagaras paying-out mechanism. They started over but after each ship traveled 40 miles, the cable fractured somewhere in between, resulting in another 80 miles of lost cable. Again, they resumed their mission, sailing more than 110 miles each when the linea portion damaged in the stormsnapped yet again.
If You're The President, I'm The Queen Of England
The psychological effect of the latest failed attempt was too much for several company directors to bear and a few resigned. Field argued that another attempt should be made immediately. After all, only 300 miles of cable had been lost at sea, and what were they going to do with a few thousand miles of submarine cable otherwise?
On July 28, 1858 the two ships set sail once more, and despite a few tense moments, both reached their respective coasts by August 5 with the cable successfully laid. While the telegraph instruments were fine-tuned, people on both sides of the Atlantic celebrated the achievement. There was a huge uproar. It was thought to be the greatest thing that ever happened in the history of the world, says Gordon.
On August 16, Englands Queen Victoria sent the first official transatlantic messageto the President of the United Statesand President Buchanan responded with his own communiqué. When news of the messages became public, even more pronounced celebrations ensued, including one which ended in near-disaster when New Yorks City Hall was set ablaze by wayward fireworks, damaging the roof and the cupola.
Can You Repeat That, Please?
Unbeknownst to the public, the cable was barely functional. Queen Victorias message took sixteen-and-a-half hours to be transmitted and the transmission quality deteriorated from there. The companys chief electrical engineer, Edward Whitehouse, tried to address the problem by blasting more electricity through the line. Apparently, he just burned out the cable, says Gordon. If you plug an ordinary lamp into a thousand volt socket the same thing happens. It just melts. By September, the cable was completely dead and the company was forced to come clean about the situation.
In an instant, the public and media turned on Field and his fellow investors. They were the butt of jokes, says Gordon. There was even a big rumor going around that the whole thing had been a fakethat Queen Victorias message had actually been sent by ship.
However, before the cable died the British government utilized it to pass along critical military instructions that helped avoid unnecessary troop movements, thereby saving more than £50,000. With the practical benefits of the transatlantic cable so obvious it was only a matter of time before another was in the works.
Meanwhile, over in England a state-of-the-art, super-sized steamship was under construction, one that could single-handedly carry and lay several thousand miles of telegraph cable.
Field's Ship Comes In
At 693 feet long, the Great Eastern was five times the size of the next largest ship when it was completed in late 1857. Designed to provide round-trip service (i.e., carry her own fuel) from Britain to the Far East and back, the Great Eastern turned out to be an unwieldy and unlucky vessel. It took three months and £120,000 to move her 40 yards from the launch into the River Thames, an exercise that forced the shipyard owner into bankruptcy. Then, on a voyage to New York the ship suffered an 83' x 9' gash in her hull upon hitting an uncharted rock (still referred to as Great Eastern rock) while rounding the tip of Long Island, damage that would have sunk any other oceangoing vessel of that era. Even Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the brainchild behind the Great Eastern, was done in by the stress and strain of conceiving his mammoth ship. But shortly before his death (after a paralyzing stroke) Brunel had the foresight to invite Field to the vessels construction site, greeting him with the words, Here is the ship to lay your cable, Mr. Field.
But first Field needed to overcome several new obstacles. At that point, he found himself unable to raise any more money because people who had invested before said, No, thank you, I've already gone down that road, says Gordon. Meanwhile, in 1861 the United States became preoccupied with the Civil War, effectively limiting its involvement for the next four years.
On a positive note, the Civil War demonstrated that a cable would help the U.S. and Great Britain respond more quickly to internationally-significant developments. Meanwhile, a board that had been commissioned to study the results of earlier attempts concluded its deliberations in July of 1863 and announced that the successful completion of a transatlantic cable was well within the realm of technological possibility.
Most importantly, the involvement of William Thomson provided Field & Co. with much needed technical expertise. So little technological knowledge was known then. Words like volt and watt hadnt been coined yet, so it was very hard to discuss problems on a technological basis, reminds Gordon. That was one of the things they learnedthat they needed a technical vocabulary.
With Thomson spearheading an updated design the new cable was almost three times as heavy as the preceding version, and featured copper that was as pure as possible, to maximize conductivity. An extra layer of gutta-percha was also added, along with a new insulation called Chattertons compound. In addition, the advent of the Bessemer process in 1858 allowed for the use of charcoal iron, a form of steel that provided improved protection for the cables exterior. Finally, both the core and armor were wrapped in pitch-soaked hemp, which protected the wire from seawater, provided increased flexibility and increased the cables breaking point.
After the new cable was manufactured and its entire length loaded onto the Great Eastern, the Prince of Wales boarded the ship on May 30, 1865 and sent a test messageI wish success to the Atlantic cablethat traveled through the 2,700 mile-long coil in less than a minute.
That Sinking Feeling
When the Great Eastern began its cable laying mission on July 23, 1865, Field was the lone American onboard the vessel. Cyrus Field was still the motivatorthe guy who was pulling it all together, reminds Gordon. But it was British money, technology and ships that were doing it.
Just eighty-four miles into the voyage the signal through the cable faltered. After 10 hours of retrieval work the fault was discovered to be a small piece of wire that had penetrated to the cables core. Four days later the line went dead again, and another ten hours of hauling up cable showed the exact same fault, prompting concerns about foul play. Although fears of sabotage were assuaged later in the voyage when the charcoal iron sheathing was revealed to be the culprit, watches were set to monitor the cable handlers.
Then, just six hundred miles away from Newfoundland, diminished function in the cable forced another stoppage. While the cable was being hauled in it suddenly snapped and immediately plunged to the bottom of the Atlantic. The crew made four attempts to catch and raise the cable using wire ropeshackled together in hundred-fathom lengthsand a grappling hook. On three attempts they succeeded in raising the cable several thousand feet above the ocean floor, but a shackle broke each time, sending the cable and wire rope back to the bottom. After exhausting the ships supply of rope there was no other recourse but to return to Britain.
Let's Try This
When the cable suddenly went dead back in Ireland, speculation ran wild as to the fate of the Great Eastern and the expedition. Rumors abounded that the ship had struck an iceberg or sunk, and the speculation continued until the Great Eastern returned to port.
Despite the latest bad luck, both Field and the public remained optimistic about the prospects for the following year. A new and improved cable was ordered from the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, one that was lighter yet less vulnerable to structural deficiencies. Meanwhile, the Great Eastern was outfitted with more powerful paying-out machinery and equipped with additional wire rope. Even crew members were provided with pocketless one-piece canvas suits that made it difficult to hide tools that might be used to sabotage the cable. This is the process of entrepreneurial capitalism, remarks Gordon. People learn from their mistakes so the next time, at least, they make new mistakes instead of old ones.
One More Time
Before another attempt could be made, however, Field had to respond to a legal issue that prevented the Atlantic Telegraph Company from conducting business and issuing additional stock. Fields solutionproposed by Daniel Gooch, owner of the Great Easternwas to form a new company called the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, and deal with ATCs legal issues later.
In July of 1866 the Great Eastern again departed Ireland, escorted by the HMS Terrible, Albany and Medway. Except for a man falling overboard from the Terrible, a brief scare caused by some tangled cable, and the rain and dense fog commonly found along the coast of Newfoundland the fifth attempt was relatively uneventful.
On July 29 Field telegraphed a message to the Associated Press in New York, announcing the success of the expedition. Within days, the line was open to commercial traffic and within weeks London and New York were comparing the prices of stocks and various commodities in their respective financial markets.
Meanwhile, the expedition returned to the site where the 1865 cable had been lost, and eventually succeeded in raising it, laying the remainder of its length (600 miles) without incident. As a result, a second transatlantic line was transmitting messages just a month after the first became operational.
Reach Out And Touch Someone?
At first, high rates made messaging prohibitively expensive for everyone except big businesses and the wealthiest individuals. A dollar a word with a 15-word minimum in an era when five dollars a week was a good wagethats expensive communication. It was like picking up the phone and having it cost you $100 a minute, relates Gordon.
As with the Internet of today, the commercial viability of the transatlantic cable was initially in doubt. But in 1869 a French company laid a cable from Brittany to Massachusetts and the resulting competition caused prices to fall and usage to rise. By 1870 Wall Street was spending about a million dollars a year on cable traffic, says Gordon. They started laying cables across the Atlantic as fast as they could.
The Six Million Dollar Man
In the end, Wall Street didnt treat Field as well as his cable venture. By 1880 Cyrus Field was worth around $6 million, which by the standards of the day, made him enormously rich. He would have easily been on the Forbes 400 list if such a list had existed, says Gordon.
But Field proved to be a woefully inept investor. In fact, on a single day in June of 1887 he lost almost $6 million. Nineteenth century Wall Street was a dog-eat-dog world and Field had no business being in that worldhe didnt have the personality for it. He was essentially broke at the end of his life, laments Gordon.
Meanwhile, Field fared no better in his personal life, as he coped with a mentally ill daughter and a son who was mixed up in stock fraud. He died at the age of 72, shortly after the death of his longtime wife, Mary.
In the 137 years since the first transatlantic cable the speed and methods available for transoceanic communication have expanded beyond Fields wildest dreams. Yet despite the advent of wireless technology and satellite communications, a large percentage of transoceanic communication is still transmitted by cable. Even the original 1866 cable was still in use as recently as the late 1960s.
Yet, all the technological advancements havent fulfilled the prophecy described in The Times of London in 1858: The Atlantic Telegraphhas gone far to make usin spite of ourselves, one people.

THEATER REVIEW;In a Manger With the Proletariat
By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Published: December 11, 1995
Remember Karl Marx?
He hasn't been getting much publicity lately, but the old philosopher who once called religion the opium of the people can be found these Advent nights at the Theater for the New City as the unlikely catalyst for an unusual retelling of the Christmas story.
Mingling Marx's writings and the gospels of Luke and Matthew, "Brother Marx Nativity" offers an astringent, thoughtful antidote to some of the sentimental fluff that abounds during the Christmas season. Playing at 8 P.M. through Sunday at 155 First Avenue, between Ninth and 10th Streets in the East Village, this show vividly demonstrates the singular approach of the Bread and Puppet Theater, based in Glover, Vt.
For some 30 years, this company has linked politics and theater in productions characterized by the striking use of masks, towering puppets, inventive props, banners and original music.
In "Brother Marx Nativity," broad cloth panels painted by Peter Schumann, the company's director and mask maker, carry Marx's words on such subjects as private property, labor and poverty, which are also recited by expressionless masked figures called Garbagemen.
Taken from his "Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts," written when Marx was living in Paris in his 20's, these texts are juxtaposed with the unfolding tale of Joseph, Mary and the birth of Christ in the days of the vengeful King Herod and Caesar Augustus, who sought to tax all the world.
If Marx, as usual, proves less than easy going, Bread and Puppet Theater provides ample rewards with its sometimes eerie, sometimes humorous characters, including a Santa Claus who gets short shrift with his "Ho ho ho's" and other seasonal cliches.
Most striking in the panoply of characters and props are Bread and Puppet's animals -- an accordion-playing donkey that accompanies Mary and Joseph, a herd of branch-antlered reindeer -- created from little more than sackcloth and cardboard and moving with marvelous realism. Most remarkable of all is a manger scene in which a cow brings a calf staggering into life.
Feats like this make Bread and Puppet Theater a welcome visitor.
The Bread and Puppet Theater of Glover, Vt. Mask maker, director and founder, Peter Schumann. Presented by Theater for the New City, Crystal Field, director. At 155 First Avenue, between Ninth and 10th Streets, East Village.

Product Description
Norm's Farms Elderberry Extract
We bottle our Elderberry Extract in 8 Fl oz. recyclable glass bottles. No worries about plastic chemicals leaching into the product. Glass is a great sustainable option for bottling.
Elderberry Extract Recommended Serving Size
Recommended serving: 1 teaspoon a day (up to 4 times a say) taken alone or added to your favorite beverage for immune system support.
*Water is a listed ingredient because of the water extract method we use. We use that method because it's the simplest, cleanest, purest way to extract juice from an elderberry. The elderberry seeds inside the elderberry prevent us from using a press method to extract the juice because the seeds clog up and shut down the press. Other extract methods that were available to us but we rejected include a steam method (which requires heating the berries to 400 degrees), or using alcohol or some other chemical to pull the juice out of the berries.
**Made from from apples.

"Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs"

Unfortunately, for drivers everywhere, the risk of having an accident whilst driving is always present. You can minimize the risk of an accident through safe driving, adhering to speed limits, traffic signals and not making reckless decisions, this will however, only minimize your risk. There is no way of predicting the mistakes of others that can involve you and your car and even the safest driver on Earth could find themselves in car accident through no fault of their own. If you should be unfortunate enough to be in any type of accident on the road then here are some steps for how to handle it.
Stay Calm
Easier said than done of course but the most important thing to do after any car collision is to stay as calm as possible. Your mind will be racing after an accident, it is an unnatural occurrence and your body will enter in to shock mode. Take some deep breaths to help you to comprehend what has happened, make sure that you or any other passengers have no injuries before you get out of the car.
Check the Damage
Once you're out of the car it is time to check what damage has been caused, if the car is still drivable then move it to a safe place, away from the road or into a side street to prevent any further danger to other drivers. If the accident involved another car then check on the driver and passengers of the other vehicle. Once you know that everyone is ok, walk all the way around the car to see the extent of the damage before taking your next step.
Get on the Phone
Once you have the car in a safe place and checked that nobody is seriously injured you should call the police first and find out if you need to have an officer present. If your car is not drivable then call roadside assistance to have them move your car out of harms way. If another vehicle was involved then before calling your car insurance, you need to exchange the following information from the other driver
- Name
- Phone number
- E-mail address
- Address
- Car make, model and license
- If it's a company car then obtain company name and numbers
Once you have all of these details then you can call your insurer, if you prefer, you can do this when you get home as you will first need to work out what you will do with your vehicle. If the car is drivable then take it straight to a garage to avoid any further damage, if it is not then consider calling local garages with recovery services to come and collect the vehicle. If you have been injured in the accident then it may be worthcalling a lawyer as soon as posible to give your case the best chance, a recent accident in Philly left me with whiplash and I found some Philadelphia car accident lawyers swiftly who helped me to win some moneyfrom my case.
In order to get yourself home, it is best if you call family or friends, it is important after an accident that you have someone to talk to about it and someone to calm you down once you get home. Don't beat yourself up if the accident was your fault and make sure that you drive again as soon as possible to avoid it becoming something that you are afraid of.

England manager Martin Johnson revealed today that Courtney Lawes could be back in action before the end of the RBS 6 Nations.
Lawes, 21, suffered a knee ligament injury in Northampton's Aviva Premiership defeat at Leicester last weekend and his club feared he would be sidelined for three months.
But Johnson has kept Lawes in his 33-man squad and is hopeful that both he and flanker Tom Croft, who is recovering from a fractured shoulder, could feature in the campaign.
"Tom and Courtney both have a chance of playing rugby by the end of the tournament," Johnson said.
"Tom is making good progress with the Leicester medics and our guys and it is the same with Courtney, so they are both week to week and hopefully they will be fitter sooner rather than later and make the end of the tournament.
"Courtney saw the specialist last night and, like in all these things, straight after the injury they take an image and interpret that.
"I would love him to be out for just six weeks, it may be 10 weeks but it is probably going to be eight or nine weeks. These things can change week by week."
Replacements for Lawes and Croft will be announced after the forthcoming rounds of European action. Former captain Steve Borthwick and Northampton flanker Tom Wood are the leading candidates.
Johnson has made two changes and one addition to his squad for the Six Nations.
Leicester lock Louis Deacon has returned to the senior squad in place of Dave Attwood, who is serving a nine-week ban for stamping.
Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson comes in for club-mate Dominic Waldouck, who has been struggling with a back injury since November.
Johnson expanded his squad to 33 players in order to accommodate Charlie Hodgson, who joined the senior squad in the autumn as injury cover for Jonny Wilkinson.
Deacon missed the summer tour of Australia and the autumn internationals with a back injury, which allowed Attwood to make his mark on the England scene.
The Gloucester lock impressed Johnson in the summer and made his Test debut against New Zealand in November.
But he has now been relegated to the Saxons after being suspended for stamping on a La Rochelle player in an Amlin Challenge Cup game.
Deacon is back in form and produced a man-of-the-match performance against Northampton last weekend.
The Saxons squad includes Leicester fly-half Billy Twelvetrees, Northampton centre Jon Clarke, Saints lock Christian Day, Harlequins prop Joe Marler and Sale loose-forward James Gaskell.

I appreciate your efforts Thoth. I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Thanx again.
I appreciate you putting your ideas out here, pac. Keep up the good work!
Your welcome. Unfortunately, I dont think there is any static system that will ever be able to be played every single game and still end up giving you a profit over the long term. The system isn't too bad if you have a large bank roll to play with and maybe wait to play after a large streak of losses.
~Probability=Odds in Motion~
Great idea though..I think that it could be modified as Thoth mentioned. Maybe some skips on the doubles, and then begin to play will reduce your cost to play and may in fact give you a nice profit. Anyone interested in testing that? Perhaps waiting until a double hasn't appeared for 6 draws?

Brandprotect, to be run by DAC and the Internet service provider U-Net, offers advice on choice of brand names, trademark law, clearance searchers and domain name registry. It also advises on how businesses can respond if they find their brand name has already been licensed by an unauthorised third party.
"Numerous companies, when asked if their brands are protected, say they have things covered. In fact they don't, as they've not had their domain names registered," says Catrin Turner, a DAC solicitor. "It's difficult for them to accept that your Internet site or e-mail address are part of your brand."
Businesses already online, planning to go online or even merely considering future options, are advised to register their preferred names for online use now.
"What can be registered is the domain name," DAC solicitor David Deakin explains. To register you simply approach the UK registry Nominet and pay pounds 50 per brand per year. This stops anyone else using the same name. However, for the time being, in the UK, and in most other countries, it's a matter of first come, first served."
Should a company find its name is already registered, it has a number of options. It can challenge the other party's use of the name by approaching Nominet and issuing a writ against the third party. It can approach the other company to strike a deal. Or it can reconsider its chosen name and adapt it - perhaps by adding a hyphen or an underscore.
It's possible that the other party is legitimately using the name, Mr Deakin points out. The law divides trademarks across 42 different product and service categories, which means lesser known, smaller brand names could be used by different companies in different areas of business.
However, it has also been known for a rival to register a competitor's brand name, according to Ajaz Ahmed, partner at new media marketing consultancy AKQA, whose clients include BMW, Durex and Virgin Radio. "This has happened with at least one of our clients. Almost every other has faced problems with unauthorised online use of their name."
Registering your name as a trademark is the best protection, Mr Deakin says. If your preferred domain name is not already trademarked, he advises you do the same.
If all this is too late and you're sure you have right on your side, you can issue a writ, he adds. To date, there's been only one test case in the UK - concerning Harrods, which settled its dispute out of court in January.
When the London department store came to register Harrods.com as an Internet address, it found that someone else had got there first. Harrods issued a writ claiming trademark infringement and passing off. The dispute was finally resolved in chambers, where the judge decided that the courts would step in to apply trademark law on the Internet - the first UK ruling of this kind.
Others have also been caught out in this way. Coca-Cola and McDonalds were among the first to face third parties using their brands online. Coke found coke.com was already registered; McDonalds found ronald@ mcdonalds.com already registered. Companies facing this problem risk not only losing the chance to use their trading or brand names online, but also the possibility of impostors setting up bogus Web sites in their names.
Harrods' victory is a step towards clarifying the situation. However, Mr Deakin notes: "The fact that this was not heard in open court means it is not a binding precedent. Although it is a persuasive argument and a positive development for other brand owners, it by no means resolves the situation."
Nominet is now considering changing its disputes procedure. One plan involves a one-month "consultation process" during which time other businesses would have time to contest a domain registration application. This, however, presupposes businesses can be constantly vigilant to potential applications.
Meanwhile, the industry awaits the first UK test case to go all the way to court.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
Anyone used this, is it any good?
Brynje is better...
Quick update.
I got a norj top, gloves and a baltic hat. Superb. Very warm, dries quick after exercising non stinky. Waiting on some long Johns so will advise what they're like as and when.
The thumb loops on the norj top are an added bonus keeping your wrist and palm warm and integrated well with the gloves.
The norj top comes down nice and long past the buttocks so could be tucked in or left out. Wore it under a hooded top and didn't need my rab gilet unless really cold.
It's reasonably priced as well, worth a punt.
How is that an advertisement? Not forcing you to buy it. OK, it's shit!
I do like honesty in advertising.
This thread will be binned in 5,4,3,2,1.....
