I Dream of Gina
- By Paul Chutkow
- | From Gina Gershon, Sep/Oct 98
Gina Gershon has her guard up.
She's sitting in a funky little tea room in Beverly Hills, picking at her sandwich and politely fending off any question she's not sure how to handle. So she won't talk about her private life. She won't talk about Showgirls, the hilariously awful bit of trash that launched her fame. And she won't talk about the man she'll identify only as Sean, the boyfriend and housemate she clearly adores. "I've seen it too many times in Hollywood," the actress explains. "Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags."
So you sit across the table from Gina Gershon and are left to wonder: What makes this actress tick? Her mode of dress this afternoon offers little clue: she's wearing dark slacks and a turtleneck of a somewhat somber blue. Her face is striking, with all sorts of intriguing facets, but it, too, only gives hints of the woman inside.
Gershon's acting career is multifaceted as well. In Showgirls, she played Cristal Connors, a campy, conniving Las Vegas chorus queen. In the dark Mafia thriller Bound, she played Corky, a hard-edged lesbian just out of jail, and she played the role so convincingly that many viewers came away wondering about Gershon's own sexual inclinations. She's played more traditional female roles with equal conviction and aplomb. She was one of Tom Cruise's girlfriends in Cocktail, she starred in Face/Off opposite John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, and she worked and smoked cigars with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of Red Heat. In the coming months, Gershon (she pronounces it ger-SHON) will be appearing opposite Harvey Keitel, Al Pacino and James Garner. Now in her 30s, Gershon's an actress on the verge of major stardom, and now, as you watch her over tea and sandwiches, the question only deepens:
Behind her many professional masks, who is Gina Gershon?
Ah, therein hangs some delightful stories, and the following morning Gershon is ready to kick back and tell them. She's sitting in the dining room at the Four Seasons Hotel, in front of a cappuccino and a huge plate of scrambled eggs and sausages, and she looks for all the world like a changed woman, as if she has gone through some profound transformation during the night. All the edginess and caution are gone from her face. Her hair is mussed, her voice is brimming with unguarded warmth and wit, and she looks relaxed and almost unbearably sexy in a black sweater, black jeans and black scarf with a splash of color. "Gina, you look so different..."
"Yes," she says with a laugh. "For everyone I've ever lived with, it's like the big joke: who's going to come home today? I'm like a split personality. My face changes, my voice changes, my personality changes. If I'm talking about Boston or New York, you'll notice my voice change. It's bad; I have no personality!" Again she laughs. "What's the animal that always changes color? A chameleon. I feel kind of like that. Because if they're nervous or scared or they don't trust someone, they have a different sort of camouflage. But as soon as they warm up to someone, they reveal their true colors."
Being chameleon-like, of course, is akin to being an actress, and Gershon has had a love for acting--and acting out--since she was a little girl. "My first professional job was in a spirit role," Gershon recalls. Her older sister, Tracy, would cover her in Day-Glo, tuck her in a closet and then, in front of the family audience, Tracy would come on stage in swami garb. As Gershon tells it now, Tracy would say, "I feel the spirits coming out. Spirits, do you hear us?" And Gina would knock from the closet and then make her appearance in all that Day-Glo. "My sister charged 50 cents a head, and now that I think about it, she ripped me off; she only paid me a nickel! I'll have to speak with her about that."
As it turns out, Gershon's family was filled with colorful characters. On her father's side, she had a grandmother named Pearl and a great aunt named Ida, and they both loved to gamble. The family was originally from Chicago, but when Gina's father, Stan Gershon, developed some lung problems, the family moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming, so Stan could recuperate in the clear mountain air. Ida and Pearl loved to go to Las Vegas to gamble, and Gina says that Pearl lost a good bit of the family money at the gaming tables. In the process, Pearl and Ida earned themselves quite a reputation.
"Ida and Pearl, the two Jewish broads from Cheyenne, that's how they were known," Gershon says. "One of my first memories of my grandmother is of her trying to teach me how to play poker when I couldn't even see the table." Starting when she was 11, Gina would often visit her Aunt Ida in Vegas. "I'd dress up and try to go gambling with the old ladies, and for some reason they'd let me in."
Then there was Laura Nelson, the family housekeeper--and more. "Laura had been around our family forever," Gershon recalls. "She used to run numbers for my grandmother. Laura was a terrible housekeeper but she was a fantastic person. As soon as everyone left the house, she'd teach me to play craps. She always went to this place called Whiskey Pete's, on the way to Vegas, and she would tell me these stories about my grandmother and my aunt. The women in my family were really amazing."
Her father was also a very prominent force in Gershon's life. "My father was a real jock, and when you're little, I think you kind of subconsciously pick up on what your parents want. Because you have to figure out how you're going to get some attention. Because my father was a big jock, I learned at a young age that sports was a way to get his attention. I was a really little kid and I was super skinny. But I actually had a great arm. When I played football, I could really pass. My father used to brag about how far his little girl could throw the ball and occasionally he would even make bets about how far I could throw it. Then we'd split the winnings. It was a kind of a bonding thing," she recalls with a laugh.
Gershon grew up in Woodland Hills, in the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles, and she spent a lot of time by herself. Her mother, Mickey, was a busy interior designer. Her father was in the import-export business and was often on the road. Her brother, Dann, and sister, Tracy, were much older; they didn't want Gina tagging along. "Woodland Hills was quite beautiful at that time," the actress recalls. "It used to be one huge orange grove. On the street where we lived, there were only three houses. Across the street from our house was the best fort any kid could imagine, because it had big trees--plum trees, peach trees, apricot trees--and I had my little fort in the back. It was a very sad day when they put up the For Sale sign. I was so angry. So every day, I'd wait until evening and then knock the sign down."
Playing by herself so much, Gershon says, helped her to develop a rich interior life. "I had to. I was the youngest, and my brother and sister really didn't want anything to do with me." Her brother is five years older than she is, and her sister seven years, "and all I wanted to do was hang out with them and they wanted nothing to do with me. So I had my little Spanish village, I acted out a lot, I'd make up plays and all those things. Without realizing I was doing it, I was entertaining myself."
Starting around age 12, she began keeping a private journal and filled it with intimate ramblings about--what else? Boys. "One day after the next I was madly in love with some boy," she recalls with a laugh. "I like having those feelings; they're fun; awful and fun."
In her early teen years, being sensitive and chameleon-like thrust Gershon into a period of turmoil. "I really do, for better or worse, react to the stimuli around me and I just wasn't getting it," she says. "I think I was really bored. The environment was affecting me. I don't think I was stimulated that much by my friends or by my school. I was like a little juvenile delinquent, I'm embarrassed to say. All my friends were getting caught doing drugs, stealing and starting fires, and stupid things like that. I never got caught and I kept my grades up, so I was OK. Then, luckily, I started acting, and that was kind of a saving grace."
Gina did her first play in eighth grade. It was Melody Jones and she played the lead. Then came Bye, Bye Birdie, but this time Gina did not get the role she truly wanted. "All I wanted to do was play Conrad Birdie; I really wanted to be like the Elvis Presley guy, and they ended up giving me the lead, Rosie. At first I thought, 'I don't want to be Rosie; I want to be Conrad.' I was really an Elvis Presley fan."
During this period, Gina was still running with the wrong crowd in the valley. Her parents were so concerned that they decided to yank her out of the public school she was in, even if it meant moving the family. As she recalls, her parents gave her a choice: a girls school or Beverly Hills High School. "Both seemed like death to me," she says. "I was a complete surfer girl at this point; I just wanted to hit the beach. I'd cut school and hitchhike to the beach almost every day. It's amazing that I did as well as I did in school. But my father really insisted on good grades, so that was like the one thing I really had to do. Girls school--I couldn't deal with that. I was so boy crazy at the time that the idea of not having any boys around was really depressing."
So beginning in her sophomore year, Gershon went to the famous Beverly Hills High School, and in many ways it proved to be just what she needed. "There I did tons of plays," she says. "That was the thing about Beverly High, they had this fantastic drama department. I could take voice lessons, I could take musical comedy, I could take straight drama. It's like a minicollege; it's an amazing school. During the three years I was there, I met some really great people, people who were very inspiring to me, so that part was great."
In a way, though, Beverly High was the end of a phase of her youth; she was obliged to let some of the joys of her childhood slip away. "The only problem with Beverly High is that they really make you choose," Gershon says. "I was dancing at the time and I was also playing sports. But the school is so professionally oriented that you can't do everything. I had to narrow it down to one, because you just don't have time to do everything. It certainly prepares you for the 'real world' but it made me sad. I liked playing football. I liked playing softball. The coach wanted me to play on the softball and soccer teams. I was a total tomboy." But she had to let much of that go.
In Gina's last year at Beverly High, her friend Tina Landau wrote a play called Faces on the Wall. Gina was one of the stars, and she caught the eye of some Los Angeles talent agents. Tina went on to Yale University and encouraged Gina to come east, which she did. She went to Emerson College in Boston for a year, to study child psychology and philosophy, but she didn't like it very much. During the summer, she went to San Francisco to take some acting classes at American Conservatory Theater, the highly respected San Francisco resident professional theater. "This was the first time I tasted a really professional learning experience," Gershon says. "It really kind of solidified my need to study and become an actress."
She transferred to New York University, where she combined studies in child psychology with an intense immersion in the craft of acting. At NYU, instead of finding one acting studio and sticking with it, Gershon tried several. She started at Circle in the Square and then worked with writer-director David Mamet. "David kept pooh-poohing The Method [form of acting] and so of course I had to go check out The Method," Gershon says. "NYU expected people to stay in one studio the whole time; I was in four or five of them. I felt I'd get what I needed from one technique and then I'd put that in the back of my head and go somewhere else."
From the earliest stages of her interest in acting, Gershon received an important gift: the unwavering support of her parents. "They instilled trust in me. Even my father was pretty amazing. I remember when I was in college and I came back home once. I had been offered one of my first movie roles, in a sort of Friday the 13th movie. I was totally excited about doing it, but it had a totally exploitive topless scene in it. I asked my dad, kind of expecting him to say, 'There's no way you are going to do this!' I needed someone to say 'No.' But he just said, 'You know what? If you're comfortable with it, I'm comfortable with it. You have to make that choice.' I was only 17 at the time. In the end, I decided not to do it, because I thought it was a stupid part."
Her parents' support had an enduring impact on Gershon. "My father wrote me a note when I went off to college--this was after I had done my first professional show--and he talked about how proud he was of me. And I look back at that and I just think, 'Oh, my God, that was the best gift he could have given me. Because I see so many people who are so talented, but their reason for trying to make it or becoming an actor is just to get that sort of approval from the parents they never got it from. And I feel I have that. I've always had that. That's out of the way. And that's a huge gift they've given me."
Through her father, Gershon also developed a love for the smell of a fine cigar. Her father and his brother, Jack, smoked cigars, and they loved Punches and Montecristo No. 2s in particular. For a time, the family had a beach house in Manhattan Beach and in the evening Gershon's father would sit on the porch with her, smoking a cigar and watching the sun set. As a result, even now a whiff of smoke from a cigar calls up warm memories from her childhood. "Walking down the street, catching a whiff, I really like that. It was a way of knowing my father was home. I would smell his cigar."
Today, Gershon from time to time will light up a fine cigar. "When I smell cigars, I'm always very happy," she says. She prefers to smoke with other people, and like her father, she likes Cohibas, Punches and Montecristo No. 2s. Walking on the beach or being outdoors at a party are some of her favorite moments to light up. One of her best memories is being in Havana a few years back on New Year's Eve. She and a group of friends smoked big Cohibas on a hotel rooftop and stayed around to watch the sunrise.
"I smoke different cigars according to my mood," she says. "I'll try small cigars or torpedos, and I like Especiales; I think they have a sexy shape." Gershon rarely buys cigars; her friends constantly give her enough to keep her well supplied. At home she keeps them stored in an improvised humidor. She often gives cigars and cigar paraphernalia as gifts and she will occasionally go to the Grand Havana Room in Los Angeles. But she prefers to smoke outdoors, during breaks from a tense movie set. She loved smoking with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of Red Heat and with Rade Serbedzija, her partner in an upcoming cable movie called Prague Duet.
"When I was growing up, I liked to play softball and football with the guys. It was a bonding thing," she says. "When I first started smoking cigars, not many women did. It was kind of an oddity. But it, too, was a way of communing and bonding with men, in a nonsexual way. And it's fun."
Early in her acting career, Gershon began working with some very talented drama coaches, and two have been working closely with her ever since: Harold Guskin and Sandra Seacat. When Gershon starts a new project, they will help her develop her characters, so that when she steps onto the set she is fully prepared. Guskin works more like a director, Gershon says, but Seacat focuses on ferreting out the emotional truth of a given role.
Seacat works with Gershon in much deeper ways as well. According to Gershon, they do dream work together and Seacat is helping her explore how a given character correlates with parts of her own personality and stage of development, as a woman and as an artist.
"Sandra totally changed my acting," Gershon says. "Instinctively, I was always in love with psychology and my dream life had always been very important to me. Ever since I was 15 years old I had been writing down my dreams. What's really exciting to me about Sandra's work is that it changes your life, almost on a psychic level. Now I'll get parts and in working on them, she'll say, 'Well, let's see how you're developing, as a human being.' Because the parts you're doing, it's no accident. Those parts affect your life and they kind of illustrate the map that your life is following."
The dream work is now a cornerstone of her creative process. "When I'm working on a certain project, before I go to bed I actually ask questions. So you dictate what kind of dream you're going to have. You say, 'I need to find out this.' There's a whole ritual about how to go about it. And then Sandra will work on it with you. Then, in classes with her, you'll actually cast them and act them out, which is unbelievable. You almost change the molecules in your body by doing that. It's really powerful. The first couple of times I did that, I actually got physically sick the rest of the week. It was super-powerful."
One of Gershon's biggest inspirations as an actress is Jessica Lange. "I was really moved by the work of Jessica Lange in films like Frances. I thought, that's the sort of work I want to strive toward. Frances is exactly the sort of part I want. It was really visceral work and it really hit you on some level." Seacat worked with Lange on Frances, Gershon says, and so the fit has been very powerful. "I've worked with Sandra for many years now and she's been a huge influence on my life. She was in the [Actors'] Studio with Brando and those guys, and everyone said that as an actress she was incredible. But I think her true calling in life was to become a teacher."
With this foundation, Gershon began working in New York and Los Angeles. Her film debut was in Pretty in Pink in 1986, then in 1988 came Cocktail and Red Heat, followed by parts in John Sayle's City of Hope in 1991, Robert Altman's The Player in 1992 and a handful of other movies. She also did work on stage, most notably with the New York-based theater company Naked Angels, and she had recurring roles in movies and series made for television. In 1992, she played Nancy Sinatra in the CBS miniseries "Sinatra."
"It was an amazing experience," Gershon says now. "Nancy Sinatra is hands down the nicest woman I've ever met in my life. Without a doubt. She's pure heart. She's an amazing woman. I wasn't sure I could do that part until I met her. Because I didn't understand a lot of it. When I met her I thought she was so terrific, and she explained a lot to me, so I thought, 'OK, this will be a good movie to do.'
"And I got to meet Frank. That was one of my conditions. I said, 'I'll do this, but I've got to hang out with the big guy,'" Gershon continues. "It was so upsetting because the night I was to meet him, I went with Tina Sinatra [his youngest daughter] to Radio City [Music] Hall and he had laryngitis. All the doctors were there and he was so wound up and he wanted to go on and all the doctors were saying, 'Frank, you cannot perform tonight.' And he was genuinely upset. 'All those people out there, they've all come from Jersey and Brooklyn, and they're going to be so disappointed. I gotta go on.'
"I was in Nancy mode and when he was reaching for a cigarette, I found myself almost going, 'Frank, Frank, you shouldn't smoke.' And I'm thinking, 'Gina, don't tell Frank Sinatra he can't smoke.' So I said, 'Would you like some tea?' I was in this maternal mode with him. And he turns to me and says, 'So how's the picture goin'?' 'Oh, the picture. It's goin' great, you know.' I loved him. I just wanted to go out and drink with him."
Then came Showgirls, the 1995 film based on a Joe Eszterhas script with Paul Verhoeven directing. The movie generated almost universal sneers, but most of the barbs and hoots went to the creators and to newcomer Elizabeth Berkley. Gershon got plenty of exposure (literally and figuratively--she played a Las Vegas diva who dances nude in a volcano) and came through unscathed.
If taking on the role of Cristal was a gutsy choice, taking on Corky in the Mafia thriller Bound was even more so. In a different Hollywood era, it would have been a role for Robert Mitchum: a tough ex-con, just out of prison, making a living as a handyman. Sexy woman comes on to Corky and draws her into a scheme involving the Mafia, murder and a few million bucks. In a lovely twist on an old theme, Corky walks off with the money and the girl, in this case played by Jennifer Tilly.
So how does a nice Jewish girl wind up with a role like that? And what does she tell her parents about it?
"I've played so many different sorts of parts," Gershon says. "If there has been any sort of premeditated path, it's that I know I want to play a wide range of roles so I never get pigeonholed. I know that if I play A one time, the next I'll want to do B or maybe Z. I don't want to keep doing A, A, A; I'll get bored and I don't think I'll grow. Certain people might be happy doing A their entire life. But that's not me. I've never gone by strategy. Strategy has always been secondary. Bound I really loved on a gut level. I thought, 'Oh my God, I love this character.' On the other hand, I thought: This is fantastic. It's 180 degrees away from Showgirls; that's great." Bound never found a mainstream audience, but some critics put it on their Top 10 lists for 1997.
Seeing their child play such roles in Showgirls and Bound might have stretched the tolerance of some moms, but Gina's mother, Mickey, took it all in stride.
"My mother's amazing," she says with a laugh. "Can you imagine going home and telling your mother, 'Hi, I'm going to be in a movie called Showgirls'? I said, 'Mom, I got this great part.' She said, 'Oh, let me write it down, so I can tell my friends.' And I said, 'Just so you know, uh, I'm kind of dancing around naked in it.' And she said, 'Oh, you used to do that all the time when you were little.' I said, 'Oh, really? Well, I'm also sort of kissing another woman in it and maybe having sex.' And she said, 'Oh'--you know, trying to be very supportive--and she said, "Well, is she a nice girl?' I said, 'Yes, she's a very nice girl.' And Mom said, 'Oh, that's nice then.' "
Gershon's siblings took her Showgirls role in stride as well. "I think they know how hard I've worked. It's not like this has happened overnight. So I think people who know me are just happy and relieved that I'm actually starting to get the sort of work I've worked so hard to get. To me, I feel I have so much further to go; I've taken one leap and now I need the next leap and the next leap. I'm really close to my brother and sister and I think they're really happy for me."
Last year Gershon costarred in John Woo's Face/Off, and the experience turned out to be a delight, especially working with Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. "John is one of the nicest men I've worked with. Really generous of spirit. His spirit is huge. I don't know if it has anything to do with Scientology or anything, but all I can say is that Tom Cruise and John Travolta both have that real generosity of spirit. They have a very similar sort of energy. I don't know if it's just coincidence, I don't know anything about Scientology, but if that's what it gave them, then I'll give it a point for that."
Gershon is now regularly getting roles with depth and texture. In Legalese, scheduled to air October 4 on TNT, she plays an actress accused of murder. The movie costars James Garner, Kathleen Turner and Mary Louise Parker. Gershon also has finished production on Paul Auster's Lulu on the Bridge, which also stars Harvey Keitel and Mira Sorvino. Over the summer, she was scheduled to shoot a small role in a Michael Mann movie starring Al Pacino.
One of her most challenging projects is Prague Duet, which she stars in opposite Rade Serbedzija, a Serbo-Croatian folk singer and cult hero. Serbedzija plays a dissident writer in the Czech Republic who becomes minister of culture, only to become ensnared in a political scandal generated by his romance with Gershon's Dr. Lauren Graham, an American child psychologist. Gershon gives a quiet, subtle performance of a woman swept up by love and the haunting revelation that her own Czech heritage, via a favorite Jewish grandfather, might not be what she was led to believe. Prague Duet is slated to air on the Romance Classics channel in December.
"I love being incredibly vulnerable on the screen, and in Prague Duet I was allowed to do that," Gershon says. "There's something special in that and I think for me it's a good thing to do. Hopefully you'll touch a nerve in someone's unconscious and that, at the end of the day, is why you're doing it. That's the healthier, altruistic side of why you want to do acting. To touch someone."
One aspect of Gershon's kaleidoscopic talents that has not come forth in recent years is romantic comedy. "That's really who I am," she says. "I want to do a romantic comedy, but a really smart one. Like Woody Allen. Or Albert Brooks. I just have to start finding my own projects. That's why I want to get to the next level, so a studio will say, 'Fine, Gina. We'll buy whatever property you want and we'll make it.'"
With so many high-quality movies coming out in the months ahead, Gershon understandably feels she is on the brink of a major career breakthrough. "I feel that. I feel like in the next year or two it's going to go. I think it's ready to flip. I'm happy with the work I'm doing this year."
She is also very happy with her private life. She lives with her boyfriend, Sean, who designs and owns restaurants and cafés in Los Angeles. Describing his work, she calls him an "environmental producer," a creator of interesting spaces and environments. More importantly, he has just the kind of temperament she needs in a partner: he's warm, supportive and well grounded. The last thing she needs is a man who's an emotional roller coaster.
"I'm enough of a roller coaster," she says with a laugh. "I need someone really solid and stable. Sean's really good about that. I need someone who's like a rock. So when I'm way up there, flying, he can say, 'OK, time to come down again.' And I'm like, 'OK.' Sean lets me go and fly around and do my thing and is secure enough to say 'OK, she's just doing her thing.' I need my own space to do my own thing. And he knows that." In return, she tries to be equally tolerant and supportive. "I think that's what a relationship is. You don't want to squish someone; you just want to support them. And, hopefully, help them to get to reach their potential."
Gershon's dream work does pose its share of problems, though. "When I'm doing certain dream assignments," she says, "I'll now know to warn Sean: 'Listen, I'm doing an assignment tonight.' Because sometimes these dreams are so unbelievable. I've always had really intense dreams," says the actress, "I mean, really intense. They're either like total movies where I can see what's going on or they hit nerves where, literally, I'll wake up screaming and crying, at such a level that, of course, his instinct is to calm me down. But I'll say, 'No, no, no! I'm working! Leave me alone!' Because I want to get to the end of it, I want to keep going! So I have to tell him, 'Don't wake me up tonight.' "
The dream work, coupled with the way she immerses herselfin difficult roles, has made Gina Gershon more accepting and more philosophical about life and what it has to offer. "Life is good that way, even when things are at their worst," she says. "That's the great thing about being an actor especially, or being any sort of artist: a writer, a dancer. Even in the really awful parts of your life, there's a part of you that you feel like you can work with it. This helps you understand life, it helps you evolve as a person and it helps you mature as an artist. And deal with the pain of it all."
Paul Chutkow is the author of Depardieu, a biography of the French actor Gerard Depardieu, and he collaborated with winemaker Robert Mondavi on his autobiography, due out in September from Harcourt Brace.

Great Experience!
By Vadman51 on Thursday, August 06, 2015Traded in a 2014 Mazda 3 for the 200C. Wow, what a difference. I'm a big guy, 6'3" with an extra pound or two, and I easily fit into this car. Seats are very comfortable, especially on trips. My girlfriend has 200 that she bought 3 weeks before mine and we took it on a trip. The heated seats, steering wheel and ventilated seats are the best. The electronic brake and the rotary shift knob take a bit to get used to. I do like that you can program the electric brake to automatically turn on when the car is in park. The interior is very quiet and road noise kept to a minimum. Probably my favorite feature on the car is the 8.4" Uconnect screen. If you have the option to get one, GET IT! I check the weather forecast and the radar weather map daily. Having the Wifi hotspot app is also a great thing on a trip for the kids. Because the 8.4 screen is such a big screen, the image from the back up camera is fantastic... you can see just about everything. Outside the car, the styling is great and so is the paint quality. The trunk is not quite as large as some of the others in the class, but it has plenty of room for a few suitcases. I've had it for 500 miles so far, but without a doubt I'd recommend it to anyone.

Power, Style, and Tech.
By Pilotguy121a on Sunday, September 07, 2014I was in the market for a car that had a balance between power, sportiness, fuel economy, and either FWD or AWD. My search started with a Dodge Dart GT. It was a roomy, comfy, car with a go-kart feel. However, its fuel mileage and lack of power left me disappointed. Then I test drove a VW Jetta GLI. Quick, nimble, but closed in and small. Fuel mileage was alright. Price for a used one is around $26,000 (with options). Then I test drove a 200C FWD V6. I owned a Dodge Avenger R/T, which shares the same platform as the Sebring/200. However, this 2015 car is a complete overhaul. The only thing that carried over was the name and the engine (tuned to achieve 12 more hp over the 2014 model year). I test drove a FWD 200C V6, I love the way that this car is put together. The amount of refinement over the 2008-2014 years is unbelievable. I did end up purchasing a 200C AWD, in Granite Crystal Metallic with the linen leather interior. It has the premium light group, nav/sound (8.9" UConnect system), and the comfort group (ventilated seats). Interior wise, the car is very sharp. The leather is very soft and the seats are comfortable. Both heating and cooling of the seats is controlled with the UConnect touch screen. They can be programmed to turn on with the remote start system or when the engine is powered on. The gauge cluster features two analogue dials (Tachometer and Speedometer, they are labeled, which is kinda silly and one high-resolution display. The display is programmable. You can set it to display certain parameters in certain areas of the screen. It is very easy to use. The navigation system is powered by Garmin. It is integrated into the main screen and will display when to turn on the instrument cluster. Again, this is an extremely easy to use, intuitive, system. I only have a 2011 CTS nav/entertainment system to compare it to, but it isn't much of a comparison. The Cadillac's system is old, clunky, and hard to use. On the highway, the cabin is very quiet. The only thing you can hear is tire noise thanks to the budget Bridgestone's that come stock. Overall, I am very pleased with the refinement, storage, comfort, and ease of use with regards to the settings/UConnect system. The rotary shifter is also a novel idea and functions perfectly. It does throw off people at first as they don't know where the shift lever has gone. The Alpine sound system is clear, loud, and high quality. Exterior wise, the car is very sharp. The paint looks great in the sun and the body lines of the car are noticeable but not vulgar. Headlights are bright and high-beams are also great. The fog lights are LED and surprisingly bright and focused. Tailights take from the Charger/Dart and are LED but not across the whole trunk. They are reminiscent of an Audi A7 but look aggressive. Exhaust is molded into the rear bumper and lined with chrome, similar to the Ford Fusion Titanium (a car similar to this one). Performance wise, the V6 is throaty, smooth, and powerful. It is however, not fuel thirsty. I recorded a 31MPG on a 60 mile highway trip. I expect it to improve as the engine breaks in. The car has plenty of power and with the AWD system active, there is no torque steer or wheel spin. In the corners, the AWD is more sturdy than its FWD sibling. The 9-Speed transmission is quick and allows for 65mph at 1400RPM (in 8th gear, 9th gear drops it to nearly 1200RPM, which is too low to maintain it in 9th gear). In Sport mode AWD is always active. The trans shifts later and slightly quicker. Using the paddle shifters is easy, though the software needs to learn your driving habits or you will get double down shifts (one that the computer does and one that you do but the computer beats you to it). Steering is smooth and easy around town but not totally numb. On the highway, the steering becomes heavy, which I view as a good thing. Overall, very pleased with the performance aspect of this car. That ends my review. So far the car is fantastic. In my opinion, it is better than its competitors and for a price that is often less. An AWD V6 car with this much tech and this good of fuel economy for under $30K is hard to come by. This fulfills all my needs and I expect it to keep exceeding all my expectations.

Pretty great car...so far!
By Matt on Wednesday, December 16, 2015We purchased this car after my wife reversed polarity while jumping our 2008 Prius. It never really been a fan of Chryslers, but this one really struck my fancy! It looks very sporty, crisp, and in my opinion, somewhat like a luxury vehicle. It's very comfortable in the cockpit style seating, and the uConnect system is great. It has loads of trunk space (considerably more than our ''15 Sportage) and feels very comfortable whether driving on the highway, or on dirt roads. Somebody commented that if you have car seats, don't get this car. I actually disagree with that. We have two boys under two years of age and they have those gigantic covertible car seats which both in in the back of the car without any issue. There isn't a lot of room for anyone in that middle seat with convertibles on both sides, but my wife can squeeze in and buckle up if needed. I'm very pleased with this car and feel you get the look and feel of luxury without the price tag of it. Only thing I do not like about this car is the god awful warranty that comes with it. I used to longer warranties, so 3 yrs/36,000 miles is a wee bit low to leave me feeling overly comfortable.

I need to get moving on a painting, so this will be short.
First is a closeup of a quick b-day drawing I did for someone. I have been roughing drawings out in red ink, then going over them in black. I like how it looks.
The rest are a collection of mugshots that I have been trying to post daily on my twitter.
WTF am I doing on twitter?
They're just little head drawings done directly in ink on post-its. They aren't always good, but that's the way it goes.
Whoa, I have been gone so long that the blogger interface has changed.

Dear Savvy Senior: Can you recommend some good resources that can help me decide when to start my Social Security retirement benefits? I'll be 62 early next year and want to carefully weigh all my option, but could use some help. — Nearing Retirement
Dear Savvy Senior: Can you recommend some good resources that can help me decide when to start my Social Security retirement benefits? I'll be 62 early next year and want to carefully weigh all my option, but could use some help. — Nearing Retirement
Dear Nearing: Figuring out the best age to start claiming your Social Security retirement benefits is an important financial decision. The difference between a good decision and a poor one could cost you tens of thousands of dollars over your retirement, so doing some homework and weighing your options now is a very smart move.
As you may already know, you can claim Social Security any time from age 62 to 70, but the longer you wait, the larger your monthly check. But there are actually many factors you need to take into account to help you make a good decision, including your current financial needs, your health and family longevity, whether you plan to work in retirement, whether you have other retirement income sources, and, if you're married, your spouse's situation.
To help you compare your options and make an informed decision, there are a number of resources and services available depending on how much assistance you need.
A good place to start is at the Social Security website. Just go to socialsecurity.gov and click on the "Retirement" tab at the top of the page and access their "Plan for Retirement" tools where you can estimate your benefits at different ages and get guidance based on your personal situation.
Or, if you would rather have face-to-face assistance, call 800-772-1213 and schedule an appointment to visit with a claims representative at your nearby Social Security office.
The Social Security Administration also offers a bevy of free publications (see ssa.gov/pubs) that you can have mailed directly to you. "Retirement Benefits," "When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits" and "How Work Affects Your Benefits" are three popular publications for those nearing retirement.
If you need help in addition to what the government offers, some good resources include the "Social Security Claiming Guide," which is published by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. This easy-to-read 24-page guide sorts through all the options, spells out how much you can get, and answers frequently asked questions. Go to socialsecurityclaimingguide.info to read it online or to print a copy for free.
Another good publication is "When to Take Social Security Benefits: Questions to Consider" (see whentotakesocialsecurity.info). Offered by the National Academy of Social Insurance, a nonprofit research and educational group, this 16-page booklet uses a question-and-answer format to guide you through the key issues. To get a free hard copy mailed to you, call 202-452-8097.
You can also get help online at websites such as analyzenow.com, which offers a free tool called "Social Security Planner" that helps singles and couples calculate the best time to take their retirement benefits. And AARP's new Social Security Benefits Calculator (www.aarp.org/socialsecuritybenefits), which lets you estimate how much you'll receive in monthly and lifetime benefits, based on your salary and your age when you file.
Or, for a $40 annual fee, maximizemysocialsecurity.com provides a comprehensive new tool to help retirees, spouses and survivors make decisions to maximize their benefits.
If, however, you'd like more personalized help, there are financial advisers and investment adviser firms that for a fee can assist you by taking you through the specific claiming strategies.
One such firm is Social Security Solutions (socialsecuritysolutions.com, 866-762-7526), which offers three levels of service including a "Premium Plus" plan that runs multiple calculations and comparisons, recommends a best course of action in a detailed report, and gives you a one-on-one session with a Social Security specialist over the phone to discuss the report and ask questions. Fees for those services range from $20-$125.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC "Today" show and author of "The Savvy Senior" book.

Football player Jay Cutler proposed to reality TV star Kristin Cavallari via text message.
The Chicago Bears quarterback originally popped the question to Cavallari in April, 2011, but they called off their engagement three months later. The couple reunited and the wedding was back on in the fall of 2011, but the former "The Hills" star reveals her man's proposal was far less romantic the second time around.
The 25 year old tells E! News, "It was so silly. I was in the airport, leaving Chicago. We had just spent however many days together and we were texting and somehow it came up, like, 'Oh, shall we get married?' We're like, 'Yeah, OK.'
"Then he sent my ring in the mail. So I actually had my ring sitting at home for a couple of weeks before I put it on."

Glenfiddich has a new campaign running in the US featuring an imaginary man named "Brock Savage". Who is this man of mystery? And more importantly why should we care who he is? In the November 11th issue of Print Critic, Mark Teasdale, SVP-marketing of William Grant & Sons said, "There are 30-plus single malts sold in the U.S. with a name beginning with 'Glen.' This campaign simplifies it all for consumers, especially those ordering Glenfiddich for the first time."
But what does it simplify? Apart from trying to get people to order a "Fiddich", what does this campaign say about the whisky? Is creating such a character an effective way to stand apart in the realm of whisky and alcohol advertising?
The ads attempt to take on an European flair in the style of the photography and language reminisant of Mr Howell from Gilligan's Island.
Client: Glenfiddich
Agency: Merkley + Partners, N.Y.
ECDs: Andy Hirsch, Randy Saitta
CW: Chuck Borghese
AD: Mike MacNeill
Photographer: Roxanne Lowit
There is a big difference between these US ads and the ads running in the UK.
The UK advertising campaign keeps the theme "The Independent Spirit", which they started using in 2002, created by McCann Erikson. They feature an iconic stag in modern, urban settings with the tagline "Independently Minded. Independently Made." Definitely a more classic, traditional feel to this advertising while keeping it modern.
There's definitely a fun, retro kitsh to the US campaign. But will some random guy shilling whisky work? When you see these ads, do you wonder "who the heck is this fella?" Or "why should I care what he drinks?"
Back in the 1990s, Deutsch NY created a similar character, Mr. Jenkins, for Tanqueray gin. He was an older white guy, composed of a collage of illustration and photography. Five years after this campaign broke, Mr. Jenkins was give the old heave-ho for a campaign that played up the images and attitudes of London style. If he was still moving their gin, he probably wouldn't have been axed.
Over at WhiskyFun.com there's a November 3rd entry that discusses this new campaign and brings up the similarities between Brock and Mr. Jenkins.
Funny new Glenfiddich 2004 'Brock Savage' campaign -
Does a malt need humour, or even self-derision? While the maniacs are debating behind the scenes on important topics such as 'is a single malt whisky a brand?', some, like Glenfiddich, launch some Mr Magoo (or The Party's Peter Sellers)-inspired campaigns, with a new character named 'Brock Savage'. Brock Savage, Brock Savage... wait, couldn't he be Mr Jenkins younger brother? You know, Tanqueray's Mr Jenkins, an 'old white male' saying rather scandalous and/or absurd old-white-male things about just anything - and in any situation. Good ideas never die, it appears... Okay, next debate on whiskyfun: is 'pastiche' better than 'collage'? Nah, joking.
Just recently, Wendy's dropped their "unofficial spokesperson" Mr. Wendy after only 8 months. Many consumers find Jared in Subway's spots extremely annoying. And loads of people hated Mr. Whipple. Which goes to prove that creating such characters can be a risky idea. At the same time, it's the success of characters such as the Michelin Man (created 1898), The Pillsbury Doughboy (created 1965), Ronald McDonald (created 1963), Tony the Tiger (created 1951), and Smokey the Bear (created1944) that continue to fuel the desire create new icons that will last through the ages.
I suppose the main question to raise in all of this is if people will actually want to be like this character they have created. Or at the very least, will he catch their attention through the gluttony of advertising they see every day? ACD Chuck Borghese said, "We cast an older, experienced actor to portray Brock Savage. We wanted someone with an accessible, likable gravitas. The characterization conveys a sense of a life lived — and being lived — to the fullest." The WhiskyFun.com site calls it "funny", although I don't know that I would go that far.
What is amusing is that neither the Glenfiddich web site nor the William Grant & Sons site have any information about the campaign. Perhaps they are trying to keep it under wraps until Monday, November 15th, when the BrockSavage.com site is fully operational. Until then you can go check out the funky illustrated flashy teaser they have up.
BONUS FIND: The guy who did the voice over for Brock Savage has a blog here.
I worked for the makers of Tanqueray during the days of Mr. Jenkins. There are several reasons why Jenkins was discontinued. The biggest reason was that 30% to 40% of Tanqueray volume is consumed by African-Americans. Jenkins was considered irrelevant to this audience so a tailored ethnic campaign followed. However, African-Americans also see "general" advertising and don't like advertising that is not shown on a large scale or part of a global brand effort. I worked on Hennessy and we did not segment creative by ethnicity which was a much better approach.

Feeders to hot tubs
Q:Our county inspectors now require us to run the feeders to an outdoor hot tub subpanel in a listed raceway from the main service equipment at the meter; unless we run the feeders to the load center supplying the house's branch circuits in conduit. In other words, if we ran SER cable from the main disconnect to the load center, the feed to the hot tub would not be allowed to come from this load center. It would have to have a disconnect tapped at the main service equipment and then be run in conduit with the proper ground wire. Does this sound right? As far as I'm concerned, if your main feeders are run to your load center and if you come from this panel with the approved raceway and proper ground wire, it should be OK. Your advice would be greatly appreciated, as we work on many large custom homes are running circuits several hundred feet from the service equipment.
A: Your inspector is correct in requiring the feeder from the service to be in one of the raceways allowed by Section 680-25(d). If you have used Type SER cable to feed the house panel, the circuit for the hot tub can't originate in the remote panelboard. Of course, if this is an existing home with a hot tub added later, Section 680-25(d)(1) allows the panelboard to supply the hot tub — provided the equipment grounding conductor in the cable is insulated.
If the panel for the hot tub is located in a separate building, you could apply Section 680-25(d)(2). In this case you must also comply with Section 250-32 and Part B of Article 225.
It is too early to make positive statements about the 2002 revisions to the NEC. However, it does look as if we will see an extensive revision of Article 680. When the 2002 edition is published you may see some relaxed rules covering an installation of this kind.

Neutral conductors
Q: We are doing a service change-out at a local manufacturing plant. The service is two 4,000A 480/277V three-phase, four-wire mains with a tie-breaker. Two new 2,500kVA pad-mounted transformers feed the mains. The existing service is the same (very old equipment). Almost all the load is three-phase, three-wire. There is some 277V lighting in the plant. We measured the current neutral amperage at 100A. We are planning to use 11 500 MCM THHN for phase-feeder conductors. We want to use 11 350MCM THHN for the neutral conductor. I believe that this is allowed by the 1999 NEC in Section 250-24(b)(1) and (2). Our local inspector wants us to make the neutral conductor the same size as the phase conductors. He said the Code requires the neutral to be able to handle the short-circuit current.
A: Section 250-24(b) applies to the service grounded conductor, so I assume you are talking about the service conductors and not a feeder. A feeder would have an equipment grounding conductor to handle ground fault currents, and that conductor would be sized from Table 250-122 based on the rating of the overcurrent device.
The grounded service conductor, which is a neutral in your case, must be sized for both normal neutral currents and ground fault currents. The sizing for normal neutral off-balance currents is covered by Section 220-22. This must include not only the measured current you describe, but the maximum off-balance current. This would be based on the 277V loads only since 480V three-wire loads will not contribute to neutral current.
The sizing for ground-fault currents (one of the types of fault currents, but not exactly the same as short-circuit currents) is covered by Section 250-24(b)(1) and (2). These rules require the grounded conductor to be sized according to Table 250-66, but because the total area of your conductors is 11 × 500 = 5,500 kcmil, the minimum size for a single conductor would be 5,500 by 12.5% = 687.5 kcmil. However, if you are running the 11 sets of 500 kcmil in parallel raceways, 250-24(b)(2) requires that the grounded conductor in each raceway be based on Table 250-66, and not smaller than No. 1/0. For a set of 500 kcmil conductors, Table 250-66 requires a 1/0 conductor. The ampacity of 11 sets of 1/0 (assuming normal conditions of use) would be 11 × 150 = 1,650A, and the total circular mil area of these 11 conductors would be 11 × 105.6 = 1,162 kcmil. Your 350 kcmil conductors would be more than adequate for both the neutral loads and the fault currents.

Surge Protection
Q: I am working on a project installing metering equipment at a remote natural gas pipeline station. My problem is the telephone company has installed their customer-interface junction box inside of a Class 1, Div. 2 classified area.
Inside the box is their lightning surge protector. I first determined that this was acceptable per NEC 501-14(b)(3), which applies to communication circuits and doesn't even require that the surge protector be a solid-state non-arcing type.
Next, though, NEC 501-17(b) requires that the surge protectors be either non-arcing or sealed. I assume that the prior code applies since it is specifically for communication circuits. To top it off, NEC 800-30(c) states that a primary protector must not be located in a classified location. This seems contradictory unless the protector at the station entrance is not considered a primary protector.
Also, the NEC seems to use the word, protector,; at times to mean a surge protector, and other times to mean an overcurrent protector or fuse.
A: Although it appears that there are conflicts between the sections you referenced, these sections are actually coordinated with each other. As you concluded, Section 501-14(b)(3) is the primary rule in your situation. This rule is specific to communications protectors in Class I, Div. 2 areas and permits ordinary protectors in ordinary enclosures in such areas. Although Section 800-30(c) prohibits protectors in classified areas in the main rule, the exception to this rule recognizes Section 501-14. Section 501-17 refers to surge arrestors, which are the types of equipment covered by Article 280. Surge arrestors, primary protectors and transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS) are different products.
Surge arrestors are covered by ANSI/IEEE C62.1, C62.2, C62.11 and C62.22. Primary protectors are covered by ANSI/UL 497 "Standard for Protectors for Paired Conductor Communications Circuits." TVSS devices are covered by UL 1449 and NEMA LS 1. TVSS devices are the subject of a new Article 285 in the 2002 NEC.
Although all of these are sometimes called protectors; they are separate products and are referred to by different names in the NEC. In fact, there are a number of other types of protectors; for specific uses, such as protectors for fire alarm circuits, but these are also covered by separate product standards.
I find that protectors; can be clearly distinguished (at least in the NEC) by their full names: primary protectors; secondary protectors; thermal protectors; short circuit protectors; and overcurrent protective devices
Noel Williams
Minimum gauges for branch circuits
Q I could not find in the Code anything requiring #12 AWG wire as the minimum size used for branch circuits in commercial work.
I also believed there was an NEC rule that said #14 AWG is permitted for control functions in a commercial application. My inspector said there is nothing in the codes about the gauge minimum.
A: The 1999 NEC specifies the minimum size of branch circuit conductors. Section 210 19(d) gives the minimum size as #14 AWG. The same requirement is found in Section 310-5. Section 310-5 also contains nine exceptions and covers voltages up to 35KV.
For remote control and signaling work the requirements are in Sections 725-27(a) and 725-51 Exception. In these sections the smallest conductor allowed is #18 AWG.
You may find local codes that require a minimum size of #12 AWG. However, the NEC sizes are as given above.

Shore-tie receptacles
Q: We are doing a dock project in which we have 400A shore tie receptacles for ships. We have four 400A circuits.
Each 400A circuit has two 400A receptacles, a 480V three-wire receptacle and one 480V four-wire receptacle. This seems to conflict with NEC 555-6. Do you agree?
A: I see no direct conflict with Section 555-6, which is concerned with load calculations for feeders and services that supply shore power. However, 555-5 does require that each single receptacle used for supplying shore power to boats be supplied by an individual branch circuit. By definition, an individual branch circuit could not have two receptacles.
Each receptacle (eight total, apparently) is required by this section to be supplied by its own circuit. Two or more receptacles could be connected to the same feeder, but each would have to have its own overcurrent device in order for each to be considered an individual branch circuit.
If, by circuit you were referring to a feeder, the feeder would have to be sized for both receptacles. Since the two receptacles are the same voltage, 555-6(a) does not seem to apply, so each receptacle would have to be counted in the load calculation for the feeder. However, if the two receptacles are intended to be used as in 555-6(a), that is, only one at a time, including only the larger load would seem reasonable. But that would not be in strict compliance with the language of the Code. Perhaps this is what you meant by referring to Section 555-6.

Write Space & Time: Due Diligence
Our focus this week in practice has been diligence -- the earnest and persistent application to an undertaking ... a steady effort ... and my favorite working definition: an overwhelming, laser-like attention to the mundane. Unsexy work. Boring and rudimentary, but the stuff of championships, I am convinced.
A lot of teams agree to diligence in theory. Everybody wants to run a pretty play. Every athlete wants to block a shot. Every shooter wants to drain a 3. And diligence is a necessary part of being able to do all of those things. But real diligence -- in its pure and pervasive form of practical application is a different story. Not everybody wants to yell out "right lane" every time they take off down the floor. And not everybody wants to stay in a defensive stance (especially when they're three passes away) or run a convicted cut when they're 99 percent sure they're not going to get the ball. That's diligence with arms and legs. That's earnestness in the mundane. And that's dull and boring toil to all but those who have a greater calling than the work itself.
Yet, diligence just might be the secret ingredient of a gym filled with rare air.
I love practice. Always have. It's my very favorite part of this thing I get to do. But this season's practices have been laced with something extra. We have five new freshmen, a sophomore transfer, a redshirt freshman, a redshirt sophomore, two juniors and a senior class of four. The balance of what we know and what we don't know we don't know is oftentimes comical. And yet there is very little difference between what all the guys wearing jerseys are willing to do. Their 'want tos' line up in uncanny synchronicity. What manna for the leaders in our gym.
I've always felt that you could tell a lot about the quality of a home by the way you feel when you walk in the door. Some places just wrap themselves around you. It might have to do with the décor or the lighting or the size of a space. But often it just boils down to the quality of the air. I remember clearly how it felt to walk in the back door of my Granny's and Papa's house when I was growing up. Sometimes it smelled like chocolate chip cookies, occasionally like Easter eggs my brother and I hid in the house and failed to find, but always it felt like a place I really wanted to be. The air just wrapped itself around you and made you want to stay awhile.
That's how I feel when I walk into our film room or our locker room or our practice court. I want to set up shop and stay awhile because it feels like such important stuff is growing there. We're trying hard to get better at defending ball screens and we are blocking out every day like our lives depend upon it, but it is the spirit of diligence that our guys are currently willing to entertain that augments our air. The way they are together -- all their individual earnest pursuits of the mundane inextricably linked just sort of descends on you when you're with them. And I find myself daily wanting to go wherever it is their spirits are headed.
So far the water has been pretty quiet, but the choppy waves are headed our way this weekend with potential tsunamis en route on down the line. The real test of our diligence will come then. But we couldn't be on firmer footing as we prepare to face what's headed our way.
We won't be perfect, ever. But that's not the goal. Diligent pursuit of excellence is.

Slick Spurs see off Cumbrians
Goals from Jan Vertonghen, Andros Townsend and Gylfi Sigurdsson gave Tottenham a 3-0 win at Carlisle in the Capital One Cup third round.
Last Updated: 26/09/12 10:16pm
Spurs took the lead in the 37th minute when Vertonghen headed in Sigurdsson's set-piece delivery, the Belgian registering his first goal for the club.
Townsend then doubled the advantage with a decent solo effort eight minutes after the restart before Sigurdsson, also opening his account for the visitors, wrapped the scoring up by nodding in Kyle Walker's cross a minute from time.
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas would have been relieved to avoid a potential banana skin at Brunton Park as his team - showing eight changes from the 2-1 Barclays Premier League win over QPR on Sunday - dealt with what Carlisle were able to throw at them and did enough at the other end to complete the job.
The debate over Spurs' goalkeepers will continue after Villas-Boas' selection tonight, with the Portuguese opting to play Carlo Cudicini and name Heurelho Gomes as his back-up on the bench, with Hugo Lloris not featuring in the squad.
Overall, though, it seems the pressure on the manager is continuing to ease, with this result meaning that ahead of Saturday's league match at Manchester United, the London outfit are undefeated in the six games since their loss to Newcastle on the opening day of the top-flight campaign, and have won three of their last four in all competitions.
Carlisle went into the contest with some form themselves having put together a five-match unbeaten run, and showed early on that they were not afraid to run at their opponents.
Tottenham were the ones carving out the real opportunities, though, with United goalkeeper Mark Gillespie tipping over an effort from Yago Falque in the ninth minute.
Spurs forward Clint Dempsey should have done better in the 25th minute when he nodded over from Townsend's cross, and soon after the United States international saw an attempt cleared off the line by defender Danny Livesey.
The hosts continued to press when they could, but it was Tottenham who made the breakthrough eight minutes before the interval as Vertonghen nodded in Sigurdsson's free-kick from the right.
Carlisle looked for a swift response and Danny Cadamarteri's strike was deflected over via the head of Michael Dawson, who was appearing for the first time under Villas-Boas.
A nice move then saw United's Kallum Higginbotham teed up, but his horribly skewed finish summed up the home side's lack of cutting edge.
It was apparent once more shortly after the break as Cadamarteri dragged an effort wide before Townsend demonstrated some Premier League potency by drilling in Spurs' second, the midfielder bursting forward and shooting low past Gillespie.
Gillespie then did well to keep out a Ryan Mason header before pulling off a further double save, pushing a header from the same player against the bar and then denying Sigurdsson.Carlisle could muster little in reply and Spurs added a third in the 89th minute as Sigurdsson headed in from substitute Walker's delivery.
