Reading 2: Promoting Chattanooga
The following excerpts are from Chattanooga and Hamilton County, Tenn., a guide published by the city government in 1896.
Many cities and counties possess some of the advantages that are found here, perhaps to an equal degree, but no other city or county in America possesses greater advantages. Chattanooga has every essential to future greatness, viz: healthful location, fertile soil, prosperous surroundings, abundant mineral and timber wealth, beautiful scenic attractions, rich historic associations, unsurpassed transportation facilities, a salubrious climate and a progressive and enlightened citizenship; the county has the most magnificent system of roads in the Southern states....
No city in the whole southern country has transportation facilities equal to Chattanooga. The Tennessee river, which almost entirely surrounds the city, is now open for navigation and vessels of six feet draught ply from Chattanooga to Ohio and Mississippi ports. Eleven separate and distinct lines of railway terminate here, diverging like the spokes of the wheel, to all points of the compass, representing five rival railway systems, close competitors, and wholly independent. The sharp competition between water and rail has materially reduced freight rates, and they become lower as the river traffic develops....
Chattanooga is the natural commercial entrepot of a district 200 miles square, in which 2,500,000 people reside. The river bottoms yield rich harvests of cereals and grasses, the mountains and ridges grow small fruits in abundance; over 1,000,000 pounds of berries, small fruits and early vegetables are annually shipped from Chattanooga to Northern markets, and Hamilton county is becoming one of the most important producers of early strawberries, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, grapes, and small fruits in the Southern states. Within 75 miles of Chattanooga nearly 100,000 bales of cotton are annually raised; the culture of tobacco and of hops is becoming an important industry, and peanuts and other leguminous plants are being extensively cultivated.
The area tributary to Chattanooga, is perhaps, the richest mineral region in America, as respects both quantity and diversity of resources. Coal and iron, limitless in quantity and of a uniformly high grade, are found in every hill and mountain; gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, mica, asbestos, and gem stones are profitably mined within 75 miles of Chattanooga; white, black, and mottled marble, and good building stone are successfully quarried. Cement, slate, calcerous lime, kaolin, sand and potters clay are also found in inexhaustible quantities, and are being successfully operated. Poplar, pine, gum, cherry, cedar, ash, oak, hickory and other hard woods, are easily accessible from Chattanooga, in large quantities.
Questions for Reading 2
1. According to this brochure, what advantages did Chattanooga offer businessmen?
2. Which of the city's claims seem exaggerated?
3. If the city offered so many benefits, why did they have to advertise? Wouldn't investors have already known what a good place it was?
4. Why would the city mention nonbusiness features such as "scenic attractions" and "a progressive and enlightened citizenship"?
5. Do you think a brochure like this would have influenced businessmen's decisions about where to locate?
Reading 2 was excerpted from George W. Ochs, Chattanooga and Hamilton County, Tenn. (Chattanooga: Times Printing, 1896), 3-4.

National Geographic is airing a 10-part documentary about the men and women who battle big storms and big snow in the Sierra to keep I-80 open way up there on Donner Pass.
The notorious road, which peaks out over 7,200-feet, is not only a lifeline for skiers and snowboarders trying to reach Tahoe's pow, but a major economic artery that keeps companies running on both sides of the scenic Sierra Nevada mountains.
Amy Edgett of the Sierra Sun newspaper had a great story on the whole filmmaking process, which hit a snag last winter when there wasn't much snow. But once it came down, the cameras were there to roll.
You can read Amy's story HERE.
Here's a preview clip:
Here's a link to the rest of the Nat Geo preview material.
And here's a version of the Sierra Sun story, rewritten by the Associated Press:TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — National Geographic is airing a 10-part documentary that captures the trials and triumphs of keeping Interstate 80 open through the winter over the Sierra Nevada's Donner Summit.
"Hell on the Highway," running Wednesdays at 10 p.m., stars the treacherous winter of 2010-11 when more than 700 inches of snow fell — nearly 60 feet.
"We are telling the story of the men and women in tow trucks, Caltrans, the California Highway Patrol who fight the snow every winter to keep Donner Pass and I-80 open," said Conal O'Herlihy, line producer with America's Star Media, which has created award-winning documentaries such as "Deadliest Warrior."
"An element to the story is how vital I-80 is not just to California, but to the nation. Wal-Mart sends 250 trucks over the pass each day," O'Herlihy told Truckee's Sierra Sun (http://tinyurl.com/a3gsbbu).
The heavy winter of 2010-11 and the history of treacherous, often tragic events on Donner Summit inspired the "Hell on the Highway" concept, which burgeoned forth from Gary Tarpinian and his business partner Paninee Theeranuntawat at Morningstar Entertainment based in Los Angeles.
Production crews stood at the ready for killer storms after promising snow accumulations in late fall 2011. They waited, and waited.
The lid finally blew off in February, after some of the longest dry spells in recent history, with back-to-back storms depositing up to 6 feet at the local resorts. Film crews braved the elements side by side with tow truck drivers, Caltrans and the CHP.
CHP Sgt. Randy Fisher said crews spent two weeks with them in late spring, capturing truck and car crashes, and wet, sloppy, spring snow.
Nine full-time film crews hit the Sierra roads, totaling more than 20,000 man hours, with safety also on their minds.
"We were following this one woman, going up and down the mountainside, in waist-deep snow, trying not to get hit by trucks," said Jonathon Berman, senior field producer with America's Star Media, a special company of Morningstar Entertainment.
Integrating the production crews into local life was easy: They lived at Northstar and Sawmill Heights, dined and shopped, skied and rode the slopes.
Chaun Mortier, research historian for the Truckee Donner Historical Society, helped with local history.
"The society provided the historical photos and information for captions," said Mortier. "My task was to interview drivers for personal bios, work with them on photos they provided and to work with local agencies or news media to get further details. I was a go between with CHP, Caltrans and news media on providing historical data on accidents, snow, etc. It was an interesting experience and I learned how to work in a whole new environment in the research field."
Caltrans Superintendent Bryan Carlson, who worked in South Lake Tahoe for 29 years and now manages the Kingvale station west of Donner Summit, gave the camera crews a taste of local snow removal life.
"I put them in the seats with operators — snow blowers, graders, sanders — to give them an overview of what we do," Carlson said.
As the film crews absorbed scene upon scene of rollovers, crashes and spinouts, they constantly downloaded to home base in Los Angeles.
"I think it will be both educational, and the same blueprint as 'Deadliest Catch,'" said Sgt. Fisher said. "Viewers will identify with characters and follow the people in it."
O'Herlihy said National Geographic and Morningstar Entertainment do a good job of telling "American stories."
"This area (Truckee) and its people embody the spirit of America," he said.

4 April 2014 at 5.56pm | Comment on this article
In the world of classical music, Faust is inescapable. Gounod's 1859 opera Faust is only the most obvious example, next to a symphony by Mahler, and countless Lieder settings and works by Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Liszt and Beethoven. The man who sold his soul to the devil seems to pop up all over the place.
But before Goethe's popular retelling made Faust an Enlightenment symbol for humanity's vaunting ambition, he was just a man and he was almost certainly born around 1480.
Johann Georg Faust studied at Heidelberg University and is thought to have died around 1540. Though there are contemporary records that speak of how knowledgeable and well-travelled he was, little more is known of his life – other than that he was said to have come to a violent death, possibly in an explosion.
Less than fifty years after his death, however, the Faust myth had a deal more flesh on its bones. In the Faustbuch, a text written in 1587 and translated into English shortly afterwards, we are introduced to a man who 'forgot the Lord his maker, and Christ his redeemer, became an enemy unto all man-kinde' and 'began to practice in his divellish Arte'.
The anonymous narrator leads us through Faust's life, detailing – with undeniable relish – the food he eats (the best food and wine stolen from the cellars of European nobility), the magic he and Mephistopheles perform (which, among other devilry, resulted in Faust's garden springing into full bloom in the depths of winter, to the astonishment of his neighbours) and the women Mephistopheles procured for the scholar ('Seven of the fayrest women that he could finde in all those countries he have traveiled in').
Finally, his violent end is described in graphic detail: 'All the hall lay besprinckled with blood, his braines cleaving to the wall: for the Divel had beaten him from one wall against another, in one corner lay his eyes, in another his teeth, a pitifull and fearefull sight to beholde.'
The Faustbuch crafts a Christian morality tale out of this fantastical story, and ends with a prayer. But it wasn't the Christian message that ensured the story's lasting appeal. It was Faust's ambition – and (much like Don Juan) all the fun he has on the road to damnation.
This was fertile ground for playwright Christopher Marlowe. In his version of the Faust legend, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus (1592), he turns Faust into a Renaissance scholar straining at the limits of the knowledge of the time:
'The end of physic is our body's health. Why Faust, hast thou not attain'd that end? Is not thy common talk found aphorisms? […] Yet art thou still but Faustus, and a man. Couldst thou make men to live eternally, Or, being dead, raise them to life again, Then this profession were to be esteem'd.'
Faust becomes a hero for an age of advances in science, technology and philosophy, an age some scholars claim was the period of greatest religious scepticism before our own. Marlowe's Faust is an Icarus with wings not of feathers but knowledge.
In the 1770s, Goethe began to craft a post-theological Faust for the Enlightenment. This Faustus pities Mephistopheles's attempt to seduce him with traditional sinful temptations: 'Poor devil! What can you offer to me? A mind like yours, how can it comprehend / A human spirit's high activity?'. The impact of Goethe's play has been such that the figure of Faust has become a symbol for modern Western man.
Every generation re-imagines Faust in its own image, and Faustian Pack composers Luke Bedford and Matthew Herbert are only the latest interpreters in a long line. Even in this age of globalism, agnosticism and multiculturalism, we are as fascinated and haunted by Faust as were those medieval neighbours, gazing at his magical garden five hundred years ago.
Through His Teeth runs 3–11 April 2014; Faust 4–25 April 2014; and The Crackle 5–12 April 2014. Tickets are still available. Find out about the other events in the Royal Opera House's Faustian Pack.

Traditional wastewater pumping stations had fixed-speed pumps with simple on-off controls, but times have changed. Pumping stations are still designed for peak-demand situations, but speed-regulated pumps have become increasingly important as energy prices have risen. In addition, operators have more to oversee.
"In the old days, wastewater treatment focused on a centralised – and urbanised – approach, which meant that wastewater from cities was treated in local plants," recalls Torben Silberg Poulsen, Global Product Manager, Drives. "More remote areas had separate wastewater collection systems, such as septic tanks disconnected from the municipal treatment network. Now a new paradigm has evolved. Every building, farm or industry must be connected to the municipal wastewater network in order to treat wastewater. This means more pumping stations, a larger and more-extended pipe network and, most important, a need for continuous surveillance of the network in order to control the flow of wastewater."
Integrated system solutions
The Grundfos iSOLUTIONS system approach to wastewater management can meet these new demands. Torben Silberg Poulsen says, "We have much more to offer than just pumps – such as controllers, communication units, Grundfos Blueflux® high-efficiency motors, sensors, etc. We provide customers with integrated system solutions."
Grundfos iSOLUTIONS combines Grundfos's application expertise and pump intelligence to offer the following features:
• A reliable, integrated system solution, where the operator is in full control at all times
• High performance and energy efficiency
• The ability to monitor and control the system so that operators can plan maintenance and avoid costly, unplanned breakdowns, thereby reducing the total service cost.
Total control at all times
In wastewater systems, total control is crucial to ensure demands are met precisely all of the time. To achieve this, the Grundfos offers a Dedicated Control (DC) unit with many standard and application-specific wastewater functions, including flush and reverse operation.
"With our Grundfos dedicated control units, reliability and energy efficiency are our key objectives," says Danny Staerk, Global Product Manager, Controls. "We aim to reduce unplanned maintenance to a minimum and optimise energy efficiency."
The DC is expandable with I/O modules to ensure full application flexibility and may be integrated into any SCADA system via international standard communication protocols such as MODBUS RTU, Profibus DP and Ethernet.
It allows control of up to six pumps of any size and can regulate how many pumps are used at any time depending on the inflow to the pumping station and the capacity of the network.
"The DC control units also have 27 language options visualised in a large, graphical colour display," adds Danny Staerk. "This is important, as we are often dealing with municipal authorities worldwide who need to ensure that local personnel can easily operate them."
Grundfos Remote Management
The Grundfos Remote Management (GRM) client/server-based solution allows an infinite number of applications to be monitored by a single server.
"GRM delivers a complete overview of your whole system – its pumps, controls, sensors, etc., at all times in an efficient way," explains Mikael Nedergaard, Grundfos Global Product Manager, Wastewater. "Site installation is simple too. GRM is all pre-configured – zero programming is required – so it takes just a matter of minutes to configure the communication set-up and product configuration."
Proactive maintenance
"In talking to customers, we have learnt that operational reliability lies above energy efficiency in importance," notes Mikael Nedergaard. "So to address this issue, the DC Grundfos wastewater controller has advanced functions to prevent problems before they build up." (see Figure 1)
For instance, the DC can help prevent a layer of grease building up on the walls of a pumping station with its start-level variation function.
Combined with the full drainage function, grease, sand, rags and fibres will be pumped out to keep the pumping station clean, ensuring steady and reliable operation. The DC's possible daily flushing sequences at full pump speed prevent sedimentation in pipework as well.
"This comprehensive range of intelligent features will prevent many potential failures from occurring in the wastewater transport networks," says Danny Staerk. "The controller measures in real time and will ensure the pumps stop before a breakdown can occur."
Energy optimisation
Many Grundfos wastewater pumps are designed to have a flat efficiency curve. 'This is ideal for wastewater applications and speed-controlled operation, since the duty point always varies," explains Mikael Nedergaard. "When we design and develop pumps and controllers, we aim for the most energy-efficient solutions to the benefit of our customers. And we look to develop supplementary services in the system to help achieve that."
For instance, the Grundfos DC wastewater controller features a "minimum control" setting (see Figure 2). This energy-saving algorithm keeps pumps running at the lowest allowable frequency to maintain wastewater flow. This is particularly useful for applications where building pressure in the pipe causes excessive energy consumption when the pump starts.
Life Cycle Cost
Grundfos encourages potential customers to consider life cycle cost when choosing their wastewater management solution. Research published in the book Pump Life Cycle Costs: A Guide to LCC Analysis for Pumping Systems by Europump, the Hydraulic Institute and the US Department of Energy, shows the initial purchase price rarely accounts for more than five percent of a pump's total cost over its lifetime (see Figure 3).
Power consumption is by far the most significant factor at 85 percent of total expenses, while service costs are likely to be approximately ten percent.
"Clearly, energy-efficient operation should be a very high priority," says Mikael Nedergaard. "Especially for larger pumping stations where the initial investment costs are relatively low compared to energy costs over the lifetime of the installation. This is where the Grundfos iSOLUTIONS approach offers great advantages."
Take the example of a wastewater-pumping network in Lolland, Denmark. By replacing the existing on-off operation with Grundfos iSOLUTIONS, the plant saved 45% in its energy consumption. (See Figure 4)
"The comprehensive range of intelligent features will prevent many potential failures from occurring in the wastewater networks."
Danny Staerk, Global Product Manager, Controls
Single supplier for maximum functionality
Grundfos can deliver reliable, energy-efficient performance because the company designs every component to work smoothly together.
"At Grundfos, we have used GeniBUS communication for several years," explains Torben Silberg Poulsen. "More or less all of our products support this standard way of communication. That makes it easier to interconnect them when we are creating a combined system."
As Grundfos can provide everything from pre-fabricated pumping stations to built-in sensors and motor protection, it is a one-stop shop, says Danny Staerk. By sourcing the entire solution from a single supplier, customers can get the most out of their system.
"You might buy our pumps, but if you buy a standard controller from a third party, then there is a risk that it won't interface well with the system and your range of functions will be limited," he says. "With our controller, we can do much more."

America is a nation of snackers. According to a survey by Nielsen, a consumer research group, 91 percent of respondents admitted to snacking daily. 25 percent reported having snacks three to five times a day, and 3 percent said they grazed almost constantly. 31 percent indulged in binge snacking on occasion, while 8 percent did so quite frequently.
The reasons why people reach for snack food are numerous and complex. For men it's mostly a means to satisfy hunger or cravings between meals, while for women it can be a way to cope with stress, boredom, or other emotional disturbances. On average, women also snack more often and choose different kinds of foods than men, like sweet versus salty items, according to the study.
As with most eating habits, a propensity for snacking develops early in life. Half of all American children eat snacks about four to five times a day, adding hundreds of extra calories to their diet, based on the findings of one study.
"My fear is that we are moving away from being hungry and eating for satiation to just eating," said Dr. Barry M. Popkin, director of nutrition epidemiology at the University of North Carolina and co-author of the study report, in an interview with the New York Times.
Young children, ages 2 to 6 years old, show the biggest increase in snacking habits. There also seems to be a trend away from regular meals like breakfast and lunch in favor of all-day grazing, which impacts the overall nutritional quality of what these kids eat.
"They are eating more times, and they're not eating healthy foods," said Dr. Popkin. "It would be great if they were eating fruits and vegetables, and reduced-fat milk, and every now and then a cookie or two. But the foods are going from bad to worse."
Adults are not faring much better in this regard. Most Americans receive almost a third of their calorie intake from snacks, nearly 600 calories per day. Snack food has grown into a huge industry with total annual sales of well over $60 billion. This doesn't include so-called "snackables" in fast food and pizza places. Latest trends are snack items available in restaurants between the hours when regular meals are served.
"The business plan of the modern food company has been to put their foods on every street corner, making it socially acceptable to eat 24/7," said Dr. David Kessler, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and author of "The End of Overeating." The result has been a nutritional disaster, he added.
Of course, the mere fact that people like to eat more often is not necessarily a lamentable change. A classic study once concluded that frequent consumption of small portions of food may be more conducive to weight loss than a standard three-meals-a-day pattern. The emphasis here, obviously, is on small portion sizes and also nutritional quality. Unfortunately, neither standards have been kept up very well since the study was first published in 1966.
Still, nibbling here and there can be a good thing, even for weight loss, if it keeps you from becoming too ravenous, which then can lead you to raiding the vending machine or refrigerator later, said Dr. Joan Salge Blake, professor of nutrition at Boston University and author of "Nutrition and You: Core Concepts for Good Health" (Cummings 2010). The key is to make sure your snacks don't consist of empty calories but include nutrients your body really needs, she advises.
Also, by eating more often, you should not increase your overall calorie intake. The problem is that when people multiply their eating occasions, they often keep the same serving sizes they are used to, which can quickly result in overeating and subsequent weight gain.
The best way to schedule your snacking regimen is to listen to your body. "Eat when you feel slightly hungry and stop when you feel just slightly full," Dr. Blake suggests. But pace yourself. It takes about 20 minutes for your mind to register when your stomach has had enough.

An area of breastfeeding that gets little attention – but impacts an astoundingly large number of women – is the experience of sexual abuse survivors.
When I spoke with Penny Simkin, author of When Survivors Give Birth, for a podcast interview on breastfeeding and early sexual abuse, she estimated that between 25% and 40% of all women may be survivors of early sexual abuse.
So a new study by Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, which investigates the sleep disturbance and depression risk of sexual assault survivors in the first year after a child is born, has tremendous implications.
Research tells that women with a history of sexual assault are at higher risk for sleep difficulties and depression in general and also in the first year having a baby. But it also tells us that exclusive breastfeeding improves sleep and lowers risk of depression among women generally. And although some assume that sexual assault survivors would not want to breastfeed, they do breastfeed at rates comparable to non-survivors.
So the question Dr. Kendall-Tackett and her co-authors asked in this new paper was: does breastfeeding protect women with a history of sexual abuse from sleep disturbance and depression?
I'll admit that when I first learned the subject of this study, I thought that the news would be bad. It reminded me of a story Penny Simkin told during our interview. She recalled a breastfeeding mother who had survived early sexual abuse. This mother found herself very disturbed by night feedings. Her abuse had taken place at night, and being awakened by her baby to feed at night was eliciting disturbing feelings related to the abuse. The solution they found? Set an alarm clock. Once the mother was awakened by the clock instead of a person, she was able to feed her baby at night without distress.
So, what did this new study find?
Dr. Kendall-Tackett and her co-authors examined the data collected through a large (over 6,000) survey of new mothers. Of the respondents, nearly 1,000 reported having experienced sexual assault (including early sexual abuse). Twenty five percent of the mothers reported childhood sexual abuse, but for this article the researchers only included those whose childhood experience included rape (about 3% of the sample) and those who reported sexual assault as teens or adults. These experiences have been shown to have more long term effects.
Consistent with prior research, survivors were as likely to breastfeed as non-survivors. And then they looked at three categories of infant feeding: breastfeeding (exclusive breastfeeding), mixed feeding, and formula feeding.
As expected, they found that women who had a history of sexual assault had a number of sleep difficulties (less hours of sleep, more time to fall asleep), increased risk of depression, and overall poorer well-being than non-survivor mothers.
"However," the authors found, "sexual assault survivors who were [exclusively] breastfeeding were at lower risk on all of the sleep and depression parameters than sexual assault survivors who were mixed or formula feeding."
These are associations, of course, and we can't say with certainty that breastfeeding was the factor that "erased" the increased risk survivors face compared to non-survivor peers. Indeed, the authors state, "breastfeeding did not take away all of the negative effects of sexual assault." But it did appear to substantially lessen them.
Prior research has drawn very clear connections between breastfeeding and lowered risk of depression and better sleep quality, so this is a reasonable connection to make. And there is a biologic model established by other research: "breastfeeding's down-regulatory impact on the stress response."
And as Penny Simkin pointed out in our interview, breastfeeding can be a healing act for some sexual abuse survivors, establishing a new connection with their bodies and empowering them as mothers. Perhaps this is evidence of more ways in which it heals.
For more information on Dr. Kendall-Tackett's work on trauma and health, see her website. Her new book, Treating the Lifetime Health Effects of Childhood Victimization, 2nd Edition, (Civic Research Institute) will be available this year.

Donna S. Levin
Theme: Yes, please! Foreign words meaning "yes" replace homonymic English ones, and the resulting phrases are clued "?" style.
Theme answers:
- 20A: Approval from a Càdiz resident (MEDITERRANEAN SI [SEA]).
- 29A: Approval from Louis XIV (THE ROYAL OUI [WE]).
- 40A: Approval from a shocked Scot (ELECTRIC AYE [EYE]).
- 50A: Approval from a sushi chef at the lunch counter?(TWELVE O'CLOCK HAI [HIGH]).
Today's puzzle is a Donna S. Levin. The last time I blogged here I also blogged one of her puzzles. That's not TOO surprising, she's one of the most prolific constructors for the LA Times! With good reason! She comes up with some really great creative puzzles like this one! I'll bet I wasn't the only constructor solving this thinking "What a neat idea! I wish I thought of that!"
In general we are more familiar with foreign European languages than other foreign languages, and this is borne out by the fact three entries are drawn from these; the final entry is Japanese, so there is some balance: thank you!
Not too sure Scottish is in fact a separate language like the others, but it does have its own Wikipedia, so there's that!
Lastly, I had no idea of the base phrase of TWELVE O'CLOCK HAI; I wasn't even sure if it was originally HI or HIGH. I googled to find it's the latter spelling, and that the base phrase is in fact the title of a 1949 film, a 1950's radio series, and a 1960's TV series. Shrug. Sure you old-timers will weigh in here to tell me how much of a classic it was!
- 1A: Last of three Catherines (PARR). Who else thought Russian tsars before wives of Henry VIII? The other two are "of Aragon" and "Howard."
- 18A: Word of thanks (MERCI). More French.
- 27A: Admission req. for 24-Across (GMAT), 28D: Sierra Club's first president (MUIR), 32D: Corp.-partnership hybrid (LLC) (Limited Liability Company?), 37A: Jack's UN ambassador (ADLAI). This was the last section of the puzzle to fall for me. My first guess for AD_A_ was ADDAM, but changed to ADLAI, a guess based on his being roughly in the right timeframe. ADDAM is... nobody! With ?UIR the only plausible letter was M but didn't know either of those two answers. Those US test thingies ending in __AT are always "wait for crossers" answers. I Don't know even know what the "Sierra Club" is either... Wikipedia sez he and the organization he founded were instrumental in starting the early National Parks like Yosemite, amongst other things. You can read more here. Interesting addition to my knowledge, thank you Donna S. Levin/Rich Norris!
- 42A: "Fake is as old as the __ tree": Welles (EDEN). Liked the clue for this oft-repeated entry. (Didn't know it).
- 56A: Indira's son (RAJIV). Indian PM from 1984-89, crossing 47D: Dead end, workwise (MC JOB) and 49D: Rootless sort (ROVER) makes for a cool little section even with 51D: Aforetime (ERST).
- 58A: Concerning (ASTO). Crosswording dilemma! Is it this or INRE?
- 4D: Sugar plant (REFINERY). Simple, elegant misdirection, but quite transparent with a couple of letters in place.
- 21D: "Africa" band (TOTO). Notable, for being written/sung by a band who've never been to Africa on instruments none of which originate from Africa. Rather listen to this:
- 26D: Rough waters (CHOP). Didn't know this meaning of CHOP, though I recognize it in the adjective CHOPPY.
- 38D: Support for a Salchow (ICE SKATE) Salchow??? Google says it's a figure-skating jump. It gets less crossword attention than the AXEL or the CAMEL!
- 46D: Chansons de __: medieval French poems (GESTE). Yet more French!
There were several candidates for this feature, but I settled on two:
37A: Jack's UN ambassador (ADLAI), which caught me out today. I hadn't heard of him bc (before crosswords.) Possibly he's more familiar to people a generation or two older and also to those from the USA as opposed to foreigners like myself. He's been tangentially referred to in two previous episodes wherein his initials AES were discussed and here where his running mate ESTES Kefauver is given the spotlight. Apart from today's factoid you mostly need to know he ran against DDE (twice, but they liked Ike!) in the 50's. His grandfather had the same name and initials, and was Grover Cleveland's veep.
8D: Conquistador's chest (ARCA). Creaaak! That's an old-time crossword answer that doesn't crop up as often any more, like ERS the bitter vetch! Keywords are Medieval/Spanish/Treasure chest/box - variations on that theme. There's not too much more to it than that! I'll try and find a picture of one: Here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arca_santa_de_Oviedo.JPG! (Having problems embedding the sucker...)
Crosswordese 101 Round-up:
- 1A: Last of three Catherines (PARR).
- 15A: Last of the Oldsmobiles (ALERO).
- 16A: Old Persian poet (OMAR).
- 63A: Squeezed (out) (EKE).
- 2D: Like the northern Lesser Antilles, vis-à-vis the Windward Islands (ALEE)
- 31D: Yemen's chief port (ADEN).
- 42D: Sniggling gear (EELPOT).
- 51D: Aforetime (ERST).
Everything else — 5A: Plot (CABAL); 10A: Pathfinder org. (NASA); 14A: Natural balm (ALOE); 17A: Folio part (LEAF); 19A: Corn detritus (SILK); 23A: High-and-mighty (SNOOTY); 24A: Cambridge business school (SLOAN); 25A: Pair of barbershop groups (OCTET); 33A: Code on some NYC-bound luggage tags (OCTET); 36A: Cambridge Conservative (TORY); 38A: Markers (IOUs); 39A: They're sometimes special (OPS); 43A: It has some smart Alecs (MENSA); 44A: "Full House" co-star (SAGET). 47A: Place to get bogged down (MORASS); 55A: Rough talk (RASP). 57A: 50-and-up group (AARP). 59A: Encourage none too gently. 60A: Nursery rhyme tub assembly, e.g. (TRIO). 61A: Sharpen (WHET). 62A: Rutabaga, for one (TUBER). 1D: Chiromancer's reading material (PALM). 3D: Sporty two-seaters (ROADSTERS). 5D: Carved sardonyx (CAMEO). 6D: Bright-eyed (ALERT). 7D: Smoothie ingredient (BERRY). 9D: Tender cut (LOIN). 10D: Margarita choice (NO SALT). 11D: __ acid (AMINO). 12D: It might be caliente (SALSA). 13D: "Catch-22" actor (ARKIN). 22D: Morales in movies (ESAI). 25D: Name of four Holy Roman emperors (OTTO). 27D: Source of milk for chèvre (GOAT). 30D: Third-oldest U.S. university (YALE). 33D: One garnering lots of interest (LOANSHARK). 34D: Chaps (GUYS). 35D: Cruising (ASEA). 40D: Ron Howard send-up of reality shows (ED TV). 41D: Apple on a desk (IMAC). 44D: Frozen margarita insert (STRAW). 45D: Teeming (with) (AWASH). 48D: Drab color (OLIVE). 52D: Mount Ka'ala is its highest peak (OAHU). 53D: R&B singer India.__ (ARIE). 54D: Touch or shuffle (IPOD).

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

Kalamazoo Business Sets the Stage for Audio World
Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 04:09 PM
For Immediate Release
Contact: Thom Dukesherer

Kalamazoo Business Sets the Stage for Audio World
As economists lament about Michigans bleak economy, one Michigan business can boast growth in the double digits for each of the last several years, with sales of more than $12 million last year alone. For nearly 33 years, Kalamazoo-based Pro Co Sound has been an audio industry staple selling hundreds of millions of dollars in audio interface products found in over 60 countries. Pro Cos products are most likely used by your favorite musicians, bands, arenas, theaters and churches.
Since 1974, Charlie Wicks, founder of Pro Co has worked to stay ahead of the game by offering his customers cutting-edge technology partnered with competitive prices, despite facing competition from low-cost manufacturers overseas.
For Wicks, a musician and former school teacher, his love of music prompted him to launch Pro Co Sound with his first products primarily public address systems. Pro Cos catalog now features more than 1600 products, many of which are one-of-a-kind. As the product line grew, so did the number of employees from four people, building speaker cabinets in a garage and soldering at a kitchen table, to more than one hundred employees today. In this time of layoffs and job cuts Pro Co Sound is creating jobs in Michigan.
We have grown our product range, but at the same time weve controlled our staffing which forces us to improve our methods, keeping our costs low and resulting in fair prices for our customers, Wicks said. This practice of evolving the workforce has kept Pro Co moving forward and growing.
Pro Co unveiled their newest product this spring, the Momentum Digital Snake System at the 2007 NSCA Expo in Orlando, and thus set a new standard for the audio industry. The Momentum System allows venues such as churches and arenas, a new option for routing sound from several different areas or sources. Prior to Momentum, facilities such as a church would have miles of cables coming from different areas of the facility to the sound board, encased in cumbersome and expensive piping. Now with the Momentum System the sound can be run digitally through thin computer wires, allowing easy set-up and flexibility. Pro Co is the first to offer such versatility to the audio industry and expects sales to jump once the system becomes available starting later in June.

Stardate 03.28.07 From Analog to CAT-lyst to Momentum!
Wednesday, March 28, 2007, 03:55 PM
Since 1979, Pro Co has been a plumber to the audio trades. Beginning about five years ago, our contractors started asking us to get soldering out of the field. Soldering is tremendously time-consuming, and the base of skilled craftsmen that do it is shrinking and getting more costly. The resulting copper backbone ends up being very expensive, especially when we add in the cost of the 3 4 conduit required by local building codes to enclose the audio cabling from one point to another. Its almost totally inflexible, and a dead-end street if the facility needs to be added-on to, enlarged or relocated. It was the best the old school had to offer.
began life as a solution to in-field soldering, designed to eliminate 95% of all audio wiring on any performance stage. CAT-alyst, as it turns out, wasn't the answer. However it was the path!
Why move from CAT-alyst to
CAT-alyst does everything we hoped it would do. As our first entry into the digital snake market, it provided installers with an easier way to wire the audio portion of the sound system, cutting huge material and labor costs out of their installations.
CAT-alyst had two major flaws. It was costly and it was too complicated (because of its almost infinite flexibility) for the end user to ever feel comfortable learning to use it.
, our second generation digital snake, was much better thought out. It is about 30% less costly than CAT-alyst, depending on its configuration. There is little to no training involved (although some explanation of routing is necessary). It is also expandable from 8 channels to 256 channels in groups of 8 channels.
also runs at 100Mbps or Gigabit (10 times faster than 100Mbps), and runs on CAT5e, CAT6 or fiber optic cables. As simple as CAT-alyst was to install,
is much easier.
is the answer. Actually,
makes the answer YES!
Is it expandable? YES!
Is it flexible? YES!
Does it work with Cobranet? Can I use Phoenix connectors? What about Fiber? YES! YES!! YES!!!
is the second generation Digital Snake System that creates possibilities not problems. With all the options, flexibility and expandability
can not only be the answer, it can make the answer YES!

GenealogyMagazine.com - Was Your Ancestor Courteous -- Or Did He Just Wear Short Stockings?: Same Surname, Different Meaning
Of American surnames most frequently appearing in the Social Security Death Index, Curtis ranks at 267 of 50,000. Its derivation is often linked to the word courteous; a characteristic — as defined in the Middle Ages — of one with courtly manners, refinement or education. Curtis, however, has more than one origin. It also comes from Curthose, a nickname given to someone wearing short stockings. The Middle English word curt (meaning short) was coupled with hose, originally a man's stockings.

When starting out with eyeshadow it's very important to understand the layout of the eye. Knowing this basic information will be helpful for applying eyeshadow and understanding the different effects that can be accomplished just by using different colors and textures on different parts of the eye. Eyeshadow application is all about creating an illusion by using different shades and textures to achieve certain effects. So let's get right into the different parts of the eye and some basic effects that can be created by using different techniques.
First off, I visually divide my lid into 3 vertical segments - INNER, MIDDLE and OUTER - which is simple enough figure out. The INNER portion is closest to my nose, the MIDDLE portion is of course in the center and the OUTER portion is closest to my ear.
Next I I find my CREASE. You can do this by feeling along the eye for the eye socket or the bone right above your eyeball. The crease falls right along that bone. Some people have well defined creases meaning the eyelid actually creases in that area while some may have to feel around for a crease.
Now that we have the basic areas of the eye mapped out let's get more specific.
The typical eyeshadow application with 3 colors will call for the lightest shade on the INNER LID, the medium shade on the MIDDLE of the LID and the darkest hue on the OUTER LID. This gives the eye an elongated dimensional effect.
Another effect is going with a shimmery shade on the MIDDLE LID and deeper shades on the INNER and OUTER LID areas. This will give a more wide eyed illusion to the eye by bringing the focus to the center on the lid.
I think of the CREASE as the middle of my eyelid if I visually divide my eye into 3 sections horizontally. The crease area can be as thick as you choose. It may even encompass the browbone area depending on the desired effect. For instance, in many cut-crease looks crease color extends high onto the browbone area. For a subtle look the crease color is concentrated in a tight area.
For simple looks the crease color is usually concentrated in the outer area and gradually fades as you get closer to the inner part of the eye. The color also tends to be a darker color than the lid color to add dimension to the look.
For this area a matte or semi-matte shade will add depth to the crease while a frost or shimmery shade will reflect light. The CREASE color is usually darker and coordinates with the color(s) on your LID. Your choice in color and texture will vary based on the desired effect.
The width of the BROWBONE area varies from person to person and even eye to eye. Some eyes have a lot of browbone space but limited lid space. This can be evened out by the use of eyeshadow to create the illusion of a larger lid and a smaller browbone area. In this case the crease color would need to be higher than the natural crease of the eye.
For those with limited browbone space the crease color should be concentrated in a tight area to give the illusion of more space between the crease and the highlight area.
Consider the BROWBONE space as your blending area. This is where the crease color should gradually fade into the highlight color. In other words, this area is used to create a gradient of color from crease to highlight. It's easiest to use a neutral color that is close to your skin tone here to help blend out harsh lines and produce a seamless blend. You may also use a lighter color than the CREASE color to achieve a similar effect.
A darker color (or black) is usually placed in the OUTER V to create a contour effect and add dimension to the look. A darker OUTER V adds the illusion of a more sunken crease area.
A trick I found to locating your OUTER V is to feel along the outer edge of your eye along your eyeball. The OUTER V will be like an outline on the outer edges of the eyeball.
For this area it's best to use a matte or semi-matte shade since you want to create a shadow/contour effect. Shimmery shades will reflect light and therefore not create a 'deepening' effect.
A light shimmery shade is usually used on this area and the color should complement the other colors in the overall look. If the look is mostly shimmer then it's best to use a matte or semi-matte shade to contrast against the frosty textures.
For the lower WATERLINE most people use black or a dark brown for a darker sultry look. However, for a fresh, brightening effect you may use white or a flesh color. This can also make your eyes appear larger than they really are.
Lining the UPPER WATERLINE is called TIGHTLINING. This is done using a dark color (95% of the time it's black) and will make the top lashes appear much fuller and thicker. This is not the most comfortable thing so be prepared to blink and get teary unless your eyes are not that sensitive to probing.

About RCWP
Roman Catholic Womenpriests are at the forefront of a model of service that offers Catholics a renewed priestly ministry in vibrant grassroots communities where all are equal and all are welcome. The voice of the Catholic people---the sensus fidelium---has spoken. We women are no longer asking for permission to be priests. Instead, we have taken back our rightful God-given place ministering to Catholics as inclusive and welcoming priests.
Yes, we have challenged and broken the Church's Canon Law 1024, an unjust law that discriminates against women. Despite what some bishops may lead the faithful to believe, our ordinations are valid because we are ordained in apostolic succession within the Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholic people have accepted us as their priests and they continue to support us as we grow from the seven bold women first ordained on the Danube River in 2002. Ordained women are already ministering in over 32 states across the country. We are here to stay.
Mission"A new model of ordained ministry in a renewed Roman Catholic Church."

School Nurse
Read the original story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
To administrators at Parkway Elementary school, an offer of a qualified nurse to work with students seemed too good to be true. Now members of the teachers union are trying to put an end to the practice.
Sacramento's Mercy healthcare offered to provide the nursing services to Parkway because of a severe shortage of staff nurses in the city's schools. Now the donated nurse visits the campus to talk with students about health issues and provides them with limited care.
Members of the Teacher's Association say the school nurse should be a district employee... not someone on loan from a private employer. They're asking the Public Employees Relations Board to bar the donated nurse from doing her job on campus. Union officials say registered nurses don't have the training or experience to fulfill the duties of a professional school nurse.
The Mercy nurse remains on the job while the board is considering its decision.

I also have known some who left the Brethren, and each one had their own reasons. Their leaving took great courage because it meant cutting all ties to their families. It wasn't until I came across the group called PEEBS (which if I remember correctly is an acronym standing for People Escaping Exclusive Brethren) that I fully realized the magnitude of their actions and the consequences thereof. Each individual's story is unique of course, but they all have certain things in common.
Peebs.Net is a website that...
...endeavors to investigate and report the Truth behind the Exclusive Brethren, a group of so-called Christians, and by so doing, help break the chains and break down the barriers that prevent us from seeing our families, friends and loved ones, trapped in what many are calling a bona fide Cult.Unbeknownst to me (and I'm sure most non-Brethren) - until now - was that at one time, the head of the entire Brethren (world-wide) was from our own neck-of-the-woods, a man by the name of James Symington.
Our mission is to educate the media and help those who have left and those who wish to leave a vicious regime that is causing increasing concern world-wide.
According to PEEBS:
James H Symington - (1914-1987)Trivia: Garrison Keillor was raised in the Plymouth Brethren church in Minnesota; an interesting blog post about that, with a quote from an interview, has Garrison sharing about his faith...
James Harvey Symington (JHS) was born to Lyle and Ida (Hughes) Symington on the 28th of August, 1913. He was a Neche, North Dakota, (USA) farmer. He was one of 11 children and was a grandson of Harvey and Louisa Hughes, who hosted the first brethren meeting in North Dakota in a building on their farm.
The family farm was on the wind-swept prairie two and a half miles from Neche. Young James rode a horse to and from town each day to complete a high school education. His theological foundation derived solely from his own studies of the bible and the ministry published by the brethren. He had no other post-secondary education.
Mr. Symington became leader of the brethren as a consequence of a number of fortuitous circumstances. James Taylor Junior died suddenly while the aftermath of the Aberdeen incident was still rippling through the brethren community. Many prominent brothers had been withdrawn from. Several had been summarily ejected in the parking lot of the Nostrand Avenue meeting room in New York by Mr. Taylor. Other prominent figures were variously out of favor. The two Hales brothers, John and Bruce, had recently been withdrawn from. It is not clear whether they had been restored before Mr. Taylor died. In the meantime, JHS had come unequivocably to the support of JTJr, accepting Mr. Taylor's accounts of the incident without question.
His loyalty was rewarded more quickly than he could possibly have expected. Mr. Symington's tenure as leader of the brethren was longer than any other twentieth century leader save James Taylor Senior.
It is said among the brethren that JT Jr "cast his cloak" upon JHS before he died, alluding to an Old Testament story of the selection of a successor by a dying prophet.
The Symington ministry is contained in a set of light brown volumes.
JHS developed the idea that the principal leader should approve all significant decisions. He exercised enormous control, approving weddings, permitting or not permitting people to re-locate, and determining who should be "shut up" or withdrawn from. Note that these decisions were ostensibly made locally, but local leaders were encouraged to seek approval from Mr. Symington. The Neche telephone exchange was expanded because of the volume of telephone calls to Mr. Symington.
JHS prophesied that computers "used for gain" were evil. (The phrase "used for gain" is apparently the loophole whereby the current leadership is allowed to use computers to operate the organization's publishing business.) While JT Jr had tolerated post-secondary education, JHS strongly discouraged it. Towards the end of his life, he actively suppressed any discussion that found value in higher education.
Mr. Symington invented the idea that grown family members should be more dependent on their local brethren than on their families. When a person visited a city where a sibling happened to live, such as while attending special meetings or for some other approved reason, they were often denied the simple pleasure of staying overnight in the sibling's home. Any such visit had to be approved by Mr. Symington and approval depended on the political fortunes of the requestor. Although there is no scriptural basis for this practice, Mr. Symington felt that there were parallels in the treatment of Moabites by the children of Israel and over time, the brethren began to refer to their out-of-town relatives as their Moabites.
One of the principle tenets of brethren doctrine is the belief that these are the "last days". While JT Jr and John Hales each predicted that the Lord would return during their lifetimes, JHS appears to have been a bit less bold. One correspondent recalls hearing him say in 1980 that he did not believe babies born that year would see five years.
JHS assigned meetings to divisions and sub-divisions. All meetings in a division became part of an "interchange".
JHS turned the fellowship into a cash machine, receiving an estimated US$1.5 million per year in brethren contributions. Non-brethren in Neche reported monthly invasions of busloads of brethren who would come to Neche from all over the world to hear the latest Symington ministry. At one point the Internal Revenue Service sent auditors to Neche to investigate possible tax evasion, but no charges were brought.
James Symington died in 1987. At his death he was blind from adult-onset diabetes. He was buried in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the closest meeting to Rochester, Minnesota, where he was being treated at the Mayo Clinic at the time of his death. The brethren had acquired a kidney dialysis machine for him. After his death it was donated to the hospital in nearby Cavalier, North Dakota.

I wouldn't be surprised if Brian & Ericka won based on the edit, but I don't think Ericka has been portrayed nicely at all. Brian I haven't seen anything really negative at all from, but her. Lord, bitchy, demanding, controlling and weak are all things that they have shown about Ericka. Hardly an edit not showing negative aspects from her.In fact all four teams hhve had good and bad shown about them that could indicate a win.As for someone pointing out that we didn't see Uchena & Joyce arguing in the first episode, well that might simply be due to the fact that Uchenna & Joyce really were non entities in that episode. Neither the team's that were close to elimination nor the teams that were out front which are the teams that get the main focus of the openers.I would actually be a little disappointed if Brian & Ericka win, simply on the fact that they really haven't raced well.I know for many people thats not a factor on who they would like to see win, but for myself it is.Its one of the reasons I didn't mind Eric & Danielle winning (because when you eliminate the plane factors that were outside their control) they actually ran a good race (well except for three legs, and one of those was too deliberately get the Guidos eliminated). And had three episodes that they actually performed all the tasks faster then any of the other teams.But I do like them so there is that. In fact I would be happy with any of these four teams winning, and I think that is a first.

Beautiful hair!
She's a model in the kind of magazines my mother reads.
oh my gracious she is gorgeous
*jaw drops*
Unbelievably gorgeous. She looks like a medieval wise woman, but in a totally rocking way.
A cross between Rich Lady meets kung fu student. She should lose the black slash and make it white
How elegant! Here is a lesson for all of us: love the gray in your hair!!
…she looks familiar…
she is one of the most graceful swedish models I know! it's a pity though that she almost only is seen in the creations of Gudrun SjödĂ©n. It's too much "batik-tant" (batik lady) as we say in Sweden.
what a find! follow & photograph her for a week please.
I love this woman, she is so beautiful! A lovely picture!
whoa, SEXY lady!!!
Love her grace and her style, she reminds me of all the arts teachers i ever had. But in a more stylish way.
She is soo beautiful! She is also a model.
she is the epitome of what I love about well-dressed older women in Scandinavia. Love the open hair, too.
Very dramatic contrasting. Also an interesting way to defy the convention that older women should not wear long hair.
This is another pic for which I'd love to see the back view. The sleevelets appear to be part of the same piece of fabric as the obi/sash, and I'm curious how she manages it so that she can still move her arms.
Looks like a beautiful grand lady.
Gorgeous. She vaguely resembles an actress from Sweden, Gun WĂĄllgren.
Also gorgeous.
By the way, saw you in our magazine Aftonbladet the other day.
Camera and all.
Hope you enjoyed Sweden once again.
Have a good one!
lol MammaLex
Utterly stunning.
Wow–she's like a Nordic queen from a myth or fairytale. Very original and elegant. Once again…those Swedish genes.
she looks like some sort of spirit of a tree … totally elegant and gorgeous.
beautiful outfit, beautiful shot.
Oh, a fairy …
Can I be her when I grow up?
This woman looks stunning. What a creative use of the scarf. The colour combinations with her beautiful grey hair is perfect. Great shot.
Getting more years doesn´t mean that you can forget your figure.This lady is very slim and I appreciate her for that.She has a nice outfit and it suits her well. The only thing that is bothering me is her hair.Grey is fine,but at her age she should have it in some other way-maybe a shorter cut or some sort of bun.
Wow – she is the epitome of elegance!
Wow, she's got the light!
Now I know what the Norse goddess Freya looks like!
She is amazing with all the cool wrapping!
I know I'll get a lot of disagreement on this but IMO a sixtysomething woman shouldn't dress this way.
She looks majestic! More like her, please!
I anticipate many commenters will focus on how well this woman wears her age — but really, she's absolutely beautiful rather than her beauty being relative to her years. And as for style — her years contribute to this. Her style isn't despite her age but appears a function of a lifetime's experience with presenting herself — she clearly knows her strengths well and knows how to feature them. Inspiring!
Quite the gray goddess…I love that she is so proud of her hair and she's obviously found "her" look. Practicality, be hanged!
Wow! what is this fabulous (teal?) fabric around her? it reminds me of that all cotton/modal line of clothing in the early 90′s called "multiples," where you could wrap garments in various ways depending on your whims. Lovely!!!!
WOW. This woman looks amazing. I'd like to be her NOW, forget about when I get to be her age.
I KNOW this photo will get many comments…because the woman is over twenty years old and looks fabulous! I love the scarf wrapped this way and that. I realize her hair is the natural woman sort of thing but I would love to see her have a shorter cut like another Stockholm woman you featured..it could highlight her face.
i hope i look that lovely when i am her age. i wish i looked that good now.
What a spectacular woman. I want to be her when I grow up!
Stunning. Breathtaking.
She is the epitome of Aging with Grace, or simply Grace.
Wow. She is beautiful.
A beautiful goddess of the harvest at Lammas. Strong, tested, tried true. Elegant, ageless. What a beauty. Love the classic fashion and lady-like elegance. What a relief from the butt-cracking and crotch-skirting which passes for "fashion" in the USA. Thank you, sart! xoxo
WOW what a knockout with great style–thanks!
Wow, she's beautiful, and a fashion role model. Although I think her dress is a little too complicated, she still looks great. Her look makes sense: she's not wearing a miniskirt and high heels, and she doesn't seem to have deformed herself with any anti-aging beauty treatments. Thank God. And her hair is beautiful as is. But she's still very glamorous.
She is jaw-droppingly beautiful. I've never seen anything like that wrap.
This is really a fantastic look.
She is spectacular.
Magnificent. I think elder women have the stature to pull off looks that would overwhelm younger women. So sad they do not use this power more often.
Oh My God!!!! She is stunning. I love to see a mature woman with beautiful grey hair. I'm from S.C. and she reminds me of the many beautiful southern bells we have here.
What a beautiful woman and a beautiful presence! She looks so natural and her style is all her own. The color of her scarf is beautiful and I love the way she's wrapped it around her arms and waist.
Beautiful swedish women! Love her outfit!
This is hands down my favorite picture of yours. This lady is phenomenally beautiful, stylish, and inspirational.
when I grow up I want to be like her !!!
wow, what a beautiful and elegant woman! I love her hair. cool dress.
I'm mesmerized! I love her! I want to be her! (Well in 20+ years or so)
I want to know more about this mysterious wrapping situation going on. Are the sleeves part of it? Is this a home made affair or something store bought. questions.
Woow. This woman shocked me with her beauty more than almost any other photo I've seen.
you know yr blog is super great, with pictures of cool people and great looks,helpful advice, and quality commentary,it's like the dos and don'ts for the set that doesn't think the bands daft punk or justice came up with the whole house music thing, THANKS.
Wow, what a gorgeous woman! She has a glow, an aura that even on a photograph comes across to you. Her hair is so poetic! Would love to meet her!
this is great, totally love it!
This woman is incredible- she looks otherworldly and ethereal. Knowing that there are people who look like this wandering around the planet is pretty humbling. I hope I can possess a fraction of that presence at her age.
What an absolutely beautiful, unbotoxed woman!
Thank God Hollywood doesn't have influence ALL over the world.
Thanks, Sart, for my inspiration for the day (I'm 51).
Perhaps she wore her white frock as a day dress…..Swished it up with the black sash, etc for an evening out?
Frankly, her white dress "unadorned" would be just as stunning on her……the black swaths make this rather off balanced to my eye and strangely overwhelm the lovely white cotton
Regardless, this woman has aged beautifully and obviously done alot of things right……Cheers, Alison
You are a great photographer. I like your website very much.
Thanx for all these fabulous pics!
Raul Krebs
Photographer from Brazil
is that all done by one scarf? that's such an unique and daring idea!
She is amazingly stylish, and looks so comfortable in her own skin, which is always so great!
She is amazing. I love how she wrapped the black cloth not only around her waist but also her arms. And what beautiful skin! I think you should stay in Stockholm forever!
I love how you take pictures of everyone on this site! Try to find more of fashionable older women. I keep trying to dress my mom, but she thinks she's too old to be fashionable, but clearly, no. She needs some inspiration!
LOVE the wrap. Very clever. I adore seeing women "of a certain age" looking chic/hip, yet age appropriate. It gives me hope as I stare into my 50′s. She looks beautiful.
This woman is the epitome of style and grace. She is naturally elegant without being made up and looking like she's met with the surgeon's knife. She appears to be comfortable in her own skin and radiates true beauty. Her dress is stunning on her, and she almost makes me want to quit coloring my hair and go "au natural" (although I don't think I could carry it off with such panache). Bravo to grace, aging, and embodying feminine style.
The light, the background, the woman.
Your Stockholm photography has inspired me before, but this is a whole new level. Thank you.
i love that she totally rocks the long grey hair. it seems most woman of a certin age cut it short then die it. this is one of my fav's
Wow. Totally gorgeous.
Why is grey hair always called "grey"? Grey is a whole range. There are warm grays, cool greys, all manner of whites, "champagne," etc. And why aren't grey streaks called highlights, when that is in fact their effect?
Cult of youth, that's why. This lady shows that a thing of beauty is indeed a joy forever.
"Getting more years doesn´t mean that you can forget your figure.This lady is very slim and I appreciate her for that"
Why would you appreciate somebody for that? Would it really make her less beautiful if she was a couple of sizes bigger?
"The only thing that is bothering me is her hair.Grey is fine,but at her age she should have it in some other way-maybe a shorter cut or some sort of bun."
You seem to have a lot of rules when it comes to other people, what they should and shouldn't do too be considered beautiful by you. Why is it so hard to just take her beauty for what it is? I don't know you but judging by your comment you seem too be the type of person who buys into what magazines say is beauty. The world and its beauty come in more shapes and sizes than what fits between the pages of a magazine
if only we all aged this gracefully…
last night, my friend bill, asked me what i thought the sartorialist was about, because he didn't think it was about fashion…. i gave him my inarticulate 'idunnowha???'
he told me he thought this blog was a love letter to the human race. (i don't think he would leave a comment like that here) looking at it through that perspective, it's really changed the way i see your photos, i thought they were lovely before, now i think they are magnificent.
she gets IT!!!!!
good find
I agree: WOW !
Wow. This is who I want to be when I grow up (well, I want to look like her, at least).
To medii—Lot´s of older people seem to ´give up´and don´t care about how they look.Sure it is very difficult to stay slim-man or woman -during your menopause, you have to watch to what you are eating and how much.Keeping up your exercise is equal important too.I should know cause I´m 56 years old.Sure-someone with a bit more flesh can be attractive too.I just happen to prefer the slimmer look.
"The only thing that is bothering me is her hair.Grey is fine,but at her age she should have it in some other way-maybe a shorter cut or some sort of bun."
this is one of the most childish comments i've come across on this site. is this an american notion? who made this rule? what a sad way to look at age and beauty.
on to the picture – this woman is beautiful. i personally prefer less clothing, but the use of the scarf is very innovative.
Right. If Sart's blog was just about clothes, it wouldn't making such an impact. It's about people, in a beautiful way.
She takes my breath away. And she isn't any age – she is ageless – like nymphs and goddesses and landvættir spirits. Not tainted with youthful dissatisfaction – she just IS that thing you took a picture of. And how DID a mere mortal do that to her dark scarf? Is it all one scarf? Tell, Sart! Tell!
Medii, right on.
Jennine, that story was so simple and yet so great that it caught me off guard and actually almost made me cry (never fear, I regained my composure). Gosh, what a pretty interpretation.
Clothing with lots of layers and drapery involved, such as this and those of the Muslim girls below, always makes me a bit envious. This is how I would dress absolutely every day if I could stand the attention that comes when you shirk convention.
what a stylish lady
love the wrap belt….adds such interest to her outfit!
I don't understand the negative comments about her hair. She is stunning all the way around. Love her aura, carriage, dress and beauty.
anon 9:10 AM wrote "…at her age she should have it in some other way-maybe a shorter cut or some sort of bun."
Come on now, that's crazy talk. Look at that hair and tell me it's not some of the most beautiful hair on the planet.
Being around her age and reading some of the comments…it's as if "older" is when you stop being yourself and start fitting into a mold and it's, like, soooo amazing if you don't. Or, some think, you SHOULD fit into a mold. Really, I feel as if being in my 60′s I've turned into some weird "other". Why would you not be interested in fashion if you always were? I keep waiting for the moment when I stop wanting to listen to The Rapture and get into going to the symphony. Clearly it's inevitable and is going to happen any week now.
Wow, she is very beautiful!
However I don't know if that black shash is working, it looks a bit forced to me. She seems so carefree and swan-like, yet the sash thing really seems constrictive. I think it creates an unappealing tension that borders on the ridiculous.
But, when you're that hot, you can pretty much do as you please, can't you? ;)
God (or Goddess..) she is great.
I'm intrigued with the wrap.
Is it leather? What is that colorl? A single piece?
– desertwind
Hi Scott,
Another great set of photos you're taking in Stockholm. But what amazes me most is the beautiful light in all of those pics.
Are you shooting late afternoon ?
By the way this lady is really drop dead gorgeous, wish we could all age gracefully like her.
Enjoy the Nordics !
Wow, she looks fantastic. I was considering colouring my hair because I have a little grey streak but I'm not going to now!! Are they clothes for a shoot or is it her own personal style. If the latter then she is a very classy lady indeed
C'est Ingemarie
This picture shows why most women should not try to look like they're in their twenties forever. Grey hair is sexy.
Very classic and timeless.
Last week I was walking around Stockholm and it struck me how much fashion had changed since spring and that the Sartorialist should come back to see it so it's a happy surprise to see that you are back!
a beautiful woman and photo.
I think some of you need to calibrate your colors on your monitors as her scarf appears to be teal not black.
Oh,my God. I am 25 but when I am her age, I wanna be her.
I can't WAIT to have a full head of grey hair so I can look like her. The sooner the better! (I'm 37 and counting…)
I would really like to see how she tied that fabric. I want to do the same thing myself.
This woman looks like she just arrived from a distant, peaceful future. She emits tranquility.
How lovely! This is a wonderful example of growing old gracefully. Of course, it helps that she still has a wonderful figure.
3:36 AM: It's green (the image is titled "Wht&Green.jpg").
I think people in the USA could learn a great deal about aging gracefully from Swedish folk like her.
She's so beautiful.
tired of Sweden. What happened to the hamptons?
To MEdii,
I TOTALLY agree with you!
Let´s take it and use it!
how did she manage the fabrics on her arms? oohh….wish there was a pic on her back too.
woooow. :)
I've been thinking a great deal about this photograph because one sees so few people like her in real life. She's a model, sure. (And she's Swedish, of course. :)) But my feeling–no certainty–is that we take a wrong-headed approach to aging in North America. I've recently been noticing women slightly older than I am at the office with grey roots in advance of their next colouring appointment. I've been thinking about an alternate course in which I will allow the grey to come in as it does in my own hair. I think that this woman has further inspired me. Furthermore, the serenity and individuality of this woman are both readily apparent. I really like it.
WOW! i love her!
I want to look like that. She's so elegant…
more of this in the world.
All this talk about age…the truth is very few people have any fashion sense at all, but you don't notice it on young people because their bloom overrides it. Later, however, the body fades and all you've got going is style. So if you've been developing your fashion sense your whole life, really know yourself and have a clear eye about what looks good on you, then your years give you an edge and you can look end up looking even more fabulous than many people younger who just look, well, young.
That's what I want to look like when I'm older. She's a super-hip, urban fairy godmother…
Lovely Lovely Lovely – ageless style and grace!
Oh my god, she's divine!
She's magnificent!
I have just read enough comments of this grand lady and the way she wears her hair.I think grey hair is very charming on most people.Why hide your age.I understand that if someone is starting to get grey hair at a very young age he or she would like to color it.Long,grey hair and keeping it loose might fit in some cases.I still think this lady in question would look more beautiful with her hair tied up in some way.
this photo is amazing
her age makes her beauty glow even brighter
She looks like a goddess.
This picture somehow annoys me. I agree she's wonderful and she doesn't hide the fact she's not too young; I agree with every comment praising her style and beauty, and her hair being almost white makes me the happiest.
But then again, she doesn't look like most of aged women I know, and it's not because of the hair. Where are the menopause extra pounds? Where are the double chin, the swollen arms, the wrinkled forehead?
Naa, she might be older than most of fashionable people portraited here or anywhere else, but she's as regular as Kate Moss can be.
this is what i want to look like when i grow up!
Wow… perfect.
My absolute favorite of all the many beautiful photos you have taken. This is what true and timeless beauty, elegance, and grace looks like. Bless you.
I was about to use the word "stunning," but so many people have said the same that it sounds like some kind of slang!
You sell fashion with young faces. The consumer almost cannot avoid being influenced by all the young beauty he sees in his every day life. The cruelness of defining beauty as being young is that while we are young we are not able to appreciate our youth and as we become older we distance ourself more and more of being beautiful. It would be such a relief, if also age would be considered as something positive, something that we admire and are looking forward to achieve. You cannot become healthier when aging but more wise and if it was shown as something positive in magazines, on tv etc. even more beautiful. This foto is the best proof of how beautiful you can be even when you are older.
she is such a vision
She encapsulates everything I want to be when I am her age!
you don't see a dress that original and "perfect" every day.
she looks like a warrior/goddess, stunning and creative, she seems to be having fun with her age
what a very beautiful woman. Love her hair. Love the fact that you photo just people walking along in their day. Maybe one would need a handbag to match their beauty; check out my product 'Haida Princess Totes' at http://groups.msn.com/HaidaDesignPurses Love your eye for art and beauty my friend. Respect all the time.
To montevideana-She has hidden the extra pounds under the layers of the black cloth. Just look at the area around the waist and the arms.Quite clever.
As an older woman myself, it's nice to see that we can still look stylish. Older women can still be look upon as beautiful, and lively.
woww;she is just beautiful!!! the outfit and the hair play together so well!
It's Nina van Pallandt! And she looks great! A Scandanavian goddess. Ageless for sure.
What a gorgeous woman, elegant, reserved, refined. Wonderful photograph.
That is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. And proof that beauty is beauty at any age. Work on being beautiful, not young, or old. Don't even think about age. Anyone would be proud to look like that.
Yes, she is wonderful woman. Her name is Ing-Marie Lam and she is 64!
it's ingmari lamy, she has a beautiful blog here: http://rodeo.net/ingmarilamy/
