Out of 57 cars that took part in the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill, the Rotek Racing Audi TT RS, prepared by 034Motorsport, came out on top in the ES class. If the Fremont, CA shop sounds familiar, it's because it also took part in our 2013 Tuner GP with another TT RS that garnered great results as well.
The 2.58-mile, 15-turn Thunderhill Raceway track was host to 57 cars that lined up on the grid with only 40 cars finishing. The Rotek team took over the ES class lead at 5:00 am Sunday morning, but not without pressure from the speedy No. 38 Radical West Racing Radical. By 8:00 am the Audi had a 30 lap lead with three hours remaining. The car was driven by Robb Holland, Kevin Gleason, Jeff Altenburg, Roland Pritzker and Rob Huff.
"It was a blast today racing here this weekend," Pritzker said. "We had a couple of little issues with contact that took a couple of kunards off in the front in the middle of the night, but we replaced them and kept going. It was smooth sailing. Really we didn't have any big issues. We kept it on the track and out of the pits and all of the drivers ran nice and clean laps. My stints in the car were really fun, I just had a blast driving this Audi TT RS here at Thunderhill."
Behind the Rotek Audi were the No.83 Barrett Racing Porsche GT3 Cup in second and the No. 38 Radical West Radical in third.
Top Three ES Class:
No. 24 Rotek Racing Audi TT RS, 705 laps run, 1,819 racing miles
No. 83 Barrett Racing Porsche GT3 Cup, 667 laps
No. 8 GMG Motorsports Audi R8, 662 laps

Not that she'd have much to work with. The periwinkle blue of the summer colorway didn't provide enough contrast to bright white of that Cap Sleeve Top (right), and the silhouette of the Heritage Dress wasn't enough to save it from drowning against the colors of the courts at Flushing Meadows.
That being said, the dress showed promise (save for those unfortunate patches of sweat), and we love the trim on the Cami tank (above, left).
Meanwhile, the super-striped Heritage tee on the guys worn by Janko and Dmitry is the showcase of an otherwise so-so men's line.
As for the fall collezione line (colorway: white/light brown), you won't see this anywhere but on your local tennis courts. Check it out here.
Buy: Fila Women's Summer Heritage Cami Tank, 34.99; V-Neck Tank, $39.99; Cap Sleeve Top, $34.99; Heritage Dress, $53.99; colorway: Periwinkle and Crystal blues.
Men's Summer Heritage Stripe Top, $36.99; Heritage Crew, $32.99; colorway: Peacoat Navy and Surf the Web (!) blue.

Award Winning Books
The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Check out their website and find out what books have won this award.
2012 Medal Winner:
The 2012 Newbery Medal winner is Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos, published by Farrar Straus Giroux
The importance of history and reading (so you don't do the same "stupid stuff" again) is at the heart of this achingly funny romp through a dying New Deal town. While mopping up epic nose bleeds, Jack narrates this screw-ball mystery in an endearing and believable voice.
"Who knew obituaries and old lady death could be this funny and this tender?" said Newbery Medal Committee Chair Viki Ash.

Michael Jackson Is Forbes' Top-Earning Dead Celebrity
Michael Jackson may be gone but he's still rolling in the dough like a baker. The late King of Pop tops Forbes magazine's list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities. His estate earned more money between October 2012 and October 2013 than any other deceased entertainer.
According to the business magazine, MJ's estate raked in $160 million. Most of the revenue is coming from his stake in the Sony/ATV catalog that includes songs from Lady Gaga, the Beatles and Taylor Swift, among others. The Michael Jackson-inspired Cirque du Soleil shows are also generating a huge profit for the estate.
Interestingly, MJ earned more money than the highest-earning living celebrity, which is Madonna at $125 million.
Following behind Jackson on the list is the other "king," Elvis Presley. His estate generated $55 million last year. Another great musician, Bob Marley, finished at No. 5 with $18 million raised in the past year.
Forbes' Top-Earning Dead Celebrities List
1. Michael Jackson: $160 million
2. Elvis Presley: $55 million
3. Charles M. Schulz: $37 million
4. Elizabeth Taylor: $25 million

We have talked to [~davidlao] who made the original fix, and did some investigation on Windows. Windows began to support symbolic links (symlinks) since Vista/Server 2008. The original reason to copy files instead of creating actual symlinks is that only Administrators has the privilege to create symlinks on Windows _by default_. After talking to NTFS folks, we knew the reason for that is mostly due to security, and this default behavior may not be changed in near future. Though this behavior can be changed via the Local Security Policy management console, i.e. secpol.msc, under Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Create symbolic links. In Hadoop, symlinks is mostly used to for DistributedCache and attempted logs. We felt the usages are important enough for us to provide true symlinks support, and users need to have the symlink creation privilege enabled on Windows to use Hadoop. This JIRA is created to tracking symlink support on Windows. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

What did you do?
I hiked the Trans Canada Trail.
Not all of it, mind you. At 17,000 kilometres, that would be quite the daytrip. But I honoured the intent of the trail: trekking interprovincially - in both Ontario and Quebec - and passing the spot where the trail was officially launched in 2000.
Where did you walk?
Beginning at the Remic Rapids, just west of Tunney's Pasture, I walked east along the Ottawa River and crossed the Alexandra Bridge into Gatineau. The Quebec portion followed Jacques Cartier Park and the Lac-Leamy Ecological Preserve to Casino du Lac-Leamy. The trip took more than seven hours; I dawdled.
Why on earth would you walk seven hours?
I asked myself the same question before the end. But I wanted to start exercising after winter hibernation. I guess I was overly enthusiastic. But despite sore muscles, I felt good about an accomplishment that blended experience with city and nature so well.
How do you mean?
Let me count the ways. For starters, the Ottawa River is a gift that's only fleetingly experienced by car or bus. There's the rush of the Remic Rapids, picturesque little islands on which hundreds of seagulls squawk all season, geese, quiet inlets that had my camera on overdrive, the majestic power of the twin Rideau Falls cascading in a curious colour (rust-olive, perhaps?). You get the picture.
Yes. Now what about the urban thing?
Hold on. I've not wrapped up the nature stuff yet. I was a first-time visitor to the ecological preserve at Lac Leamy, and it was a revelation. Here the Trans Canada Trail, hugging the preserve's west side, was almost my private walk.
A rainbow of trees - red oaks, white pines - lay to the right; the lake, to the left. I spied a blue heron, a species I was surprised to find within city limits, and a family of painted turtles basking in the sun.
I met just one person, who told me I'd just missed several deer.
I've learned not to rush you. Anything else about nature?
Plenty, but we'll move on to the urban half of the hike. My route passed the War Museum, the Museum of Canadian History, the casino and other attractions. If I'd wanted a more leisurely day, all were convenient detours. Occasional pieces of public art, such as the striking marble-and-gold Canadian Navy monument just east of the Portage Bridge, are also marks of contemporary culture. Interpretive panels reminded me of the city's past, speaking of the lumber industry and transportation. The Charron House in Jacques Cartier Park dates back to the era of Hull's founder, Philemon Wright. And the fact I didn't have to dodge the cyclists and noon-hour joggers pacing time to their iPods reminded me I'm part of a larger butoft-considerate community.
Any surprises along the way?
There were two. I hadn't realized the trail was launched here until I found a red-roofed pavilion in Jacques Cartier Park that pays tribute to that ceremony. And, on the late April day I was out, spring flooding altered plans. I'd hoped to see John Félice Seprano's sculptures at Remic Rapids, made by balancing boulders from the river, but the pedestal on which they sit was submerged.
Flooding also meant the trail was impassable at Lac-Leamy, eventually forcing me to improvise an alternate route. That took me unexpectedly along the Gatineau River for a while, another reminder of the capital region's natural and human history.
That raises a question: how did you know where the Trans Canada Trail goes?
By visiting tctrail.ca, where an interactive map zooms into detail. With that, I was able to plot my route. The trail is well-signed, especially with helpful "you are here" maps at strategic points where one could otherwise be lost. I accessed the trail by public transit: an OC Transpo bus to Tunney's Pasture for the starting point, and STO's route 21, which runs from the casino to downtown Ottawa, for my return.
Any final tips?
Comfortable footwear, sun protection, plenty of water, healthy snacks and a camera are all musthaves. Take a cellphone for peace of mind. Picnicking opportunities abound along the Macdonald Parkway and in Jacques Cartier Park; after that, they're lacking. Plan bathroom breaks carefully; public buildings, such as museums or the Outaouais tourist office, are your best bets until you reach the casino. And pray flooding has subsided.

The Turtle Lake Refuge Cafe, a raw-food restaurant, serves edible weeds in a Third Avenue neighborhood where residents like to whack an invasive species called commercial creep.
Lemonade dandelion ice cream, hollyhock burritos and wheatgrass shots are offered twice a week from the back patio of an East Third Avenue home built in 1892. Owners of the property called the Rocky Mountain Retreat jumped through all the hoops to get a compatible-use permit because the conversion of homes for commercial use in this historic neighborhood is often controversial.
The Boulevard Neighborhood Association has helped kill four proposals for bed-and-breakfasts on East Third Avenue since the mid-1980s. Most recently, it rallied opposition against allowing a 7,000-square foot, five-bedroom Victorian at 11th Street from becoming a B&B. It was the Jakway Houses second attempt at getting permission for B&B status since 1992.
The mansion was built between 1884 and 1886. Keeping the surrounding neighborhood residential is key to preserving its landmark status as a historical district, said Maxine Peterson, a former mayor, but Jakway owner Carole Withers doesnt see it that way.
Theres a belief that a historic district prevents change, Withers said at a City Council meeting. I disagree. I think historic districts are a useful tool for managing change in an increasingly complex reality.
B&Bs must be well-maintained to attract clientele. Because the caretaker and host would live in the B&B, its not a hotel, but someones home, Withers said.
But city councilors were sympathetic to neighbors arguments that allowing such a precedent would open the door for homes turning into offices for lawyers, dentists and real-estate firms. It would no longer be a neighborhood where kids went trick-or-treating or residents shoveled each others sidewalks.
Councilor Sweetie Marbury said she saw the residential character of a historic district melt away in her hometown of Houston. She joined councilors Paul Broderick and Doug Lyon in opposing a conditional-use permit for the Jakway House in a 3-2 vote April 3. Former Mayor Christina Rinderle, whose father runs a B&B in southern Indiana, and Councilor Dick White, who said he likes staying at B&Bs, supported it.
Residents also had urged the council not to be persuaded by economic arguments.
We cannot sacrifice the character of the neighborhood for economic gain. Its just not right, said Third Avenue resident Holly Jobson, whose house turns 100 this year.
The Jakway House, named after former resident Louis Jakway who owned a lumber mill, has been on the market for the last 10 years. Its asking price has dropped from $2 million to $925,000, said its real-estate agent, Judi Mora.
Despite its many amenities such as a wrap-around porch, a wood-paneled library, a wine cellar and fireplace, its in danger of going into foreclosure because its enormous size and energy inefficiency has made it obsolete as a residential property, Mora said.
Because potential buyers have expressed interest in turning it into a B&B, the sellers wanted permission to market it as a potential B&B under a set of conditions outlined by the city.
Pat Blair, co-director of the Rocky Mountain Retreat on Third Avenue where the raw-food restaurant is located, believes in the principle of one home, one family but thinks the opposition to the Jakway B&B was shortsighted.
What can you do with a big house? Blair said. Families cant afford it.
If no one can take care of it, then it becomes an elephant, not a showpiece, Blair said.
Opponents raised all sorts of arguments, one neighbor feared the B&B guests would be voyeurs who would stare at sunbathers in their backyards.
But Mora noted that B&B guests are, on average, 50 years or older, well-educated visitors who like to walk or ride bicycles to shopping or restaurants. Theyre not the type to stay up all night, Mora said.
Theyre not voyeurs, she said.
Supporters of the Jakway B&B argued that it would not be creating a precedent for more B&Bs on East Third Avenue because of the special circumstances of its location. The house is surrounded on four sides by public property. So City Attorney David Smith did not think future city councils would be obligated to approve other applications in the neighborhood.
As far as parking, Mora said a nearby site would handle overflow. In fact, she said it would be an improvement over the current situation where the 10 renters in the house park anywhere and everywhere.
Greg Hoch, the citys chief planner, believes there are much bigger problems than commercial creep.
It strikes me that amidst day care homes and centers, home occupations, vacation rentals, and, most importantly, absentee landlords, there is more than a hint of commercialization happening in virtually all our neighborhoods, Hoch said.
The city receives way more complaints about rundown, overpopulated rental properties than from vacation rentals, home occupations, day cares, bed-and-breakfasts combined, he said.
East Third Avenue already has commercial properties such as Hood Mortuary, whose existence as a business precedes the citys zoning laws. A law office, an investment firm and La Plata County Democrats headquarters are located in a commercial zone of East Third Avenue at College Drive.
The raw-food restaurant was permitted under an exception that allows property to be used for charity, Hoch sad. The Turtle Lake Refuge is a not a commercial restaurant, and it does not charge customers. Instead, it accepts donations. Lunch is served only on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The house also is used for meditation, yoga and office space for small nonprofits.
Our whole approach is to help the little guy, Blair said.
Gabriela Ranzi, a raw-food chef, is happy to educate the public about the nutritious benefits of wild edibles, a great source of energy.
She wants to change the consciousness around wild plants. Theyre here as gifts for us, Ranzi said.
But East Third Avenue residents remain vigilant at keeping commercial creep out of the historic neighborhood.

Alexandra Wentworth has eye lift surgery
The It's Complicated star recently opted to have a lower blepharoplasty and now the 47 year old insists she feels like a new person.
Chronicling the experience in an article for Elle magazine, she writes, "Since my early twenties, my baggy eyes had been a source of utter frustration not only for me, but also for makeup artists… and cinematographers (who spent hours desperately trying to relight my face)… I wanted… bright and awake eyes…
"On the big day, I arrived at the crack of dawn with my gay male friend Joe… I was in complete denial that I was voluntarily (at a hefty cost of more than $7,000) having my face slashed. I'm slightly embarrassed to reveal the price of such a self-indulgent act, but… many people kept telling me it was money well spent. I guess like when you redo the roof (of a house)? Or replace the boiler?"
After doctors completed the procedure, Wentworth holed up inside the house she shares with her journalist husband George Stephanopoulos and the comedienne admits the recovery was the hardest part.
She continues, "In the days that followed, I lay in my bed with blurry vision and ice packs on my eyes and listened to reruns of Friends on TV… The recovery seemed endless. For the first two weeks, I was basically secluded in our apartment, not because of vanity but because my eyesight was blurry and I was physically weak (from pain medication). My husband was suddenly married to an 80-year-old woman."
And although things were tough going, the actress admits she's happy with the final result: "I do look better. In photos, I think I look as though I've been digitally retouched."

Postcard from Korea: The Day the Earth Stood Still
13 February 2013
Danielle Young writes from South Korea, where she is a fourth-year Media and Communications student undertaking an international fellowship at TBS radio in Korea. The fellowship is supported by the Australia Korea Foundation.
It seemed like any other day. The wind icy against my skin on the short walk to the train station; cars pushing through pedestrian crossings; travellers still returning from the Lunar New Year holidays. But that was the day the world changed.
At 11.58am Tuesday morning North Korea tested its third nuclear bomb. The US, China and Japan had all come together supporting the South by taking harsh measures to deter its rebellious neighbour, but stricter sanctions, threats of retaliation and losing its closest ally - Beijing- only made Pyongyang more resolute in its actions. And it was a success.
The test comes after threatening military action on the South for participation in the UN sanctions, saying it was tantamount to "a declaration of war", and the release of a propaganda video depicting a city disturbingly similar to New York in flames after a missile attack.
Entering the train station, I knew something was wrong. Crowds had gathered around the public televisions, watching breaking news stories I couldn't understand. Several television crews were filming the crowds watching the breaking news. There was a general uneasiness that I just couldn't explain. Something had happened, something big, and the Koreans were scared.
In my past four weeks here there has been a news story about North Korea every day. Coming from a country that only hears about it when a rocket launch or nuclear test takes place, it didn't take long to be extremely worried. I had no idea about the political tensions Koreans deal with daily, and it's little surprise with the constant threat of war that they have desensitised themselves.
As things started to escalate a few weeks ago I found myself writing radio scripts about Pyongyang most days, doing extensive research into each country's relationship with the North. I wrote an hour's worth of material on the topic for the show one day, and just as I've adapted to the food, the customs and the extreme cold, so too had I desensitised myself to the threats.
But today even the locals felt concern, with friends calling each other to check if they'd heard the news. Koreans news sites were flooded with dozens of stories on the front page within an hour, and I postponed my trip up to the border, fearing the demilitarised zone might soon become the militarised zone.
I'm told a rocket fired from Pyongyang would take two minutes to reach Seoul, and there would be nowhere to hide. Its 25 million residents would be helpless.
Only Monday the North had said the world had misunderstood its threat as meaning it would conduct a nuclear test. Misunderstood alright. The orders had already been given.
The UN has entered emergency talks and military at the border have been put on high alert. While the test only (ha!) measured a 5.0 earthquake, and the blast was smaller than anticipated, the North says that is because it was testing its miniaturised technology - the kind it needs for its long ranged rockets. And it was a success.
While the rest of the world is pulling itself together and trying to come up with new strategies to deter the Stalinist nation, North Korea has announced that this is just the first step. They "restrained" themselves as best they could, but any further hostilities and they will have no choice but to take stronger action.
Now that they have the technology, we could be seeing that propaganda video of a scorched US come to life.

I've been way behind on posting our new Skirted Roundtable discussions. So, if you follow along with the updates from my blog, to get all caught up, the next one is Mr. Jamie Drake aka "The King of Color."
I think you can just look at this picture and understand his love of color! Or else he is a huge University of Texas alumni!
Many of his interiors are filled with pinks and oranges and lilacs.
Wow! Amazing!
Not all his interiors are wildly colorful – this dining room is actually sedate. Love the wallpaper – it's gorgeous!!!
This interview is unique because it's the first one we've ever done LIVE! Drake was interviewed in person at High Point during market a few weeks ago. Linda and Megan did the interview as I did not make it to Highpoint.
Oh well, maybe I'll go next year – that is, if I magically wake up a few years younger and many pounds lighter!!!
To listen to the King of Color, Mr. Jamie Drake, go HERE.
Talking about Sunbrella fabrics – they really have come a LONG way! They used to be so limiting, available in just solids and cabana stripes. Today, they are available in an array of colors and patterns! These new fabrics work as easily indoors as they do outdoors and many designers are exclusively using Sunbrella indoors because of its long wearing and hard working potential.
Fellow Houstonians, make note of the following event coming up at the Robert Allen/Beacon Hill Showroom. It's all about their new Sunbrella fabrics. If you have any questions about this event, be sure to contact the showroom at 713-439-0200.
Aren't these fabrics beautiful? Hard to believe they are Sunbrella!!!

GRENOBLE, France, June 16 (UPI) -- Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is no longer comatose and was released from a Grenoble hospital Monday.
"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said in a statement. "His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months."
Schumacher's injuries occurred after he fell off a trail and onto a rock while skiing at the Meribel resort in the French alps. He was put in a medically induced coma and underwent two surgeries to remove blood clots in his brain. Kehm last reported on his condition in early April when she said Schumacher had "moments of consciousness and awakening."
German magazine Bunte reported Friday that Schumacher had been transferred from the critical care unit of the hospital to the rehabilitation unit. They also said that he was "out of danger" but his chances of a full recovery were minimal.
His wife, Corinna, has reportedly spent around $17 million to build a rehabilitation medical suite in their home on Lake Geneva. In addition to reporting on his condition, Kehm asked that Schumacher's privacy be respected as he recovers.
"The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him. For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye."

RAVENSWOOD – It was a great evening for season opening baseball at Wright Field as the Red Devils of Coach Wes Swain played host to the Vikings of Coach Shane Casto.
Lefty Logan McCoy took the hill for the road team and fellow southpaw Jesse Brown got the start for the Devils. It was a battle of hefty lefties, a gunfight with shoulders and elbows flying. Only one could stand after the dust on the diamond dissipated. The Vikings struck first in the second frame when Easton Berry stroked an RBI single and Cody Pittenger pushed in a run on a groundout. Ravenswood plated a run in the home half of the second to cut the lead to one on an error by the Vikings.
With a duck on the pond at first base and one out, Devon Crews blasted a liner to Christopher Jordan at shortstop who instinctively flipped the ball to first for a perfectly executed double play that killed the Devils' scoring threat.
In the fifth inning, Ripley plated three runs. In his first varsity game, against the cross county rival, frosh Anthony Jarvis unloaded a mammoth line drive homerun to left field that had room to spare getting out of the park and Ripley led 3-1. After a double by Jordan, catcher Jonny Stepp got into the long ball festivities and laced a high moon scraper over the fence in right field to give Ripley a 5-1 advantage.
The Devils weren't going down without a fight. In the bottom of the sixth, with Heath Burgess perched at third base, Crews blasted a deep fly ball to right field that plated the Red Devil second baseman on a tag and run.
In the sixth, Ripley plated two runs. Centerfielder Trevor Tucker instinctively stole third and scored when Jordan reached on a fielder's choice. In what was arguably the finest pure baseball play of the night, the athletic Jordan stole home in the inning, with no hesitation to put the Vikings up, 7-2. Jarvis crossed home plate on a passed ball to give Ripley an insurance run. Logan Jarrett scored an unearned run in the seventh to make the score 8-3.
"Brown is a good pitcher and he threw the ball real well for three or four innings," said Coach Casto. "He put us down 1-2-3 early and we only sent four batters to the plate in the fourth."
Coach Swain was pleased with the effort his team put forward to plate a couple of runs late in the game and show no signs of giving up on the contest.
"I think we are getting better every day and that is what I am looking for." Ripley knocked 10 hits and had four errors in the game. The Red Devils had six hits and no miscues.
Logan McCoy hurled a complete game for Ripley in surrendering six hits and one earned run. He walked two batters and struck out five while earning the win. Jesse Brown went five innings while giving up nine hits and six earned runs while walking one and fanning six Viking batters. Isaac Crow hurled an inning while giving up two earned runs on two hits. He walked three and struck out two. Thomas Sturm struck out two in an inning of work for the Devils.
VIKING HITTING – Jordan went 2-for-4 with three runs and an RBI with a double and two stolen bases, Jarvis went 1-for-2 with a HR, two runs scored and an RBI, Tucker was 1-for-3 with a run scored, a double and a walk, Koontz went 2-for-4, Pittenger was 1-for-3 with an RBI, Stepp went 2-fo-3 with a run, HR and two RBIs, Berry was 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
RED DEVIL HITTING – Crews went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a double, Jarrett went 1-for-4, Hatcher was 1-for-3 with a run, Sturm was 1-for-2 with a run and Jelich was 1-for-3 with a double.
Vikings power past Devils in opener, 8-3

DEMOLISH the Pavilion, build a bus station on the Winter Gardensand turn the Town Hall into a hotel – those are among the suggestions made by one of Bournemouth's most controversial characters as to how the town should be developed.
Dave Wells, who founded Dorset's biggest private lettings company, said he felt free to speak out now he was taking a back seat at DWP Housing Partnership.
He said he believed Bournemouth Council leader John Beesley was generally taking the town in the right direction but there were areas where the council could be bolder.
He said there was no good reason for demolishing the Imax when it could have been turned into "the best casino on the south coast" and he said the council should drop plans to try and buy the NCP car park at Exeter Road.
"We're going to spend millions CPOing that," he said. "The idea of putting a bus station there is a horrible, horrible thought."
Instead he said the Winter Gardens site was perfect for a bus station and car park, as it was bigger and already in council ownership.
He praised Cllr Beesley for pulling the plug on Trevor Osborne's Pavilion Gardens plans and said the council should at some point consider demolishing the Pavilion.
.Wells' views on the town's development
- On the decision to end the contract with Trevor Osborne. "Brilliant. I've been saying it for the last three years. What are we doing with Trevor Osborne? Who's ever heard of Trevor Osborne developments? I've been doing this for 45 to 50 years and I've never heard of him."
- On demolishing the Imax: "It would have been a lovely, lovely casino – the best casino on the south coast. You couldn't have gone wrong with it. It would have brought more middle-aged and older people into Bournemouth with money in their pockets.
- On the Pavilion and adjacent car park: "For the minute I'd leave it. But at some time in the forseeable future we've got to take a view on the Pavilion. I see a case for demolishing the Pavilion. What can we build there? A nice purpose-built hotel, an all-weather attraction, something inside."
- On the West Central leisure complex planned for Exeter Road. "Brilliant. It will have lovely views looking out over the Gardens. It's not big enough for a bus station. Put something nice there."
- On the Winter Gardens: "Put your bus station on the Winter Gardens, It's a much, much bigger site and the council already owns it. You would have to lower the ground levels but that's easy enough and you could then connect the site to the Triangle, regenerating Purbeck Road and the surrounding area."
- On the town hall: "It would break my heart if you wanted to pull the town hall down. That would be total absolute sacrilege but the town hall can't operate as a town hall. The front of the town hall is south facing, it gets sun all day. That's a lovely place for hotel rooms."
- Bournemouth Echo

Did Mercedes Jellinek actually drive this car? The photograph originates from around 1910 and shows the young lady at the wheel of a Grand Prix car built in 1906 – elegantly dressed with a hat and long skirt, looking shyly into the camera. This black-and-white photograph was a breath-taking find for Mercedes-Benz Classic: it is the only known photo showing the lady who lent her name to the famous vehicle brand sitting in a car named after her. Mercedes in a Mercedes, so to speak. Her father, Austrian businessman Emil Jellinek, who sold numerous vehicles for Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) and made the brand well-known, had the idea of giving the name "Daimler-Mercedes" to a new model series.
The photos and personal documents that shed new light on Mercedes Jellinek, born 16 September 1889, come from the estate of her son. "Goosebump material", as Jürgen E. Wittmann, head of Mercedes-Benz Classic Archive, says full of awe.
Mercedes in a Mercedes: the photo originates from around 1910.
The treasures that Jellinek's son Hans-Peter Schlosser willed to his godchild include three photo albums with almost 300 photos in total. They show private moments in a life about which very little was previously known. Also included in the legacy are birth and marriage certificates, as well as a passport which tells us that Mercedes had chestnut-brown hair and green eyes – details that cannot be seen on the black-and-white photos, and are completely new at least to the public. Also that she was actually christened Mercedes Adrienne Ramona Manuela Jellinek. It was previously thought that Mercedes was just a nickname. Mercedes Jellinek, a lady who led the carefree life that was typical for a high-born daughter at that time, with luxury yachts and a house on the Côte d'Azur, but who also underwent upheavals and eventually sought her own way in life – a brave decision in that day and age – to find happiness.
It all began with Emil Jellinek and his persistence, which helped the energetic diplomat and self-made man to establish himself in the international business world. When the automobile was invented by Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz in 1886, Jellinek was immediately an enthusiast for this new means of transport.
Having become aware of DMG through a newspaper advertisement, he travelled to Cannstatt and took delivery of his first Daimler car in October 1897. This was the start of a successful and varied business relationship between the restless businessman and the inventors of the automobile.
First Semmering Race on 27 August 1899. Class winner Emil Jellinek at the controls of his Daimler 16 hp "Phoenix" racing car, next to him Hermann Braun.
Jellinek moved in the very highest social circles, promoting the new vehicles from Cannstatt. The Stuttgart-based inventor of the automobile and the man-of-the-world turned car salesman also clearly got on very well together personally, as Gottlieb Daimler invited Jellinek and his daughter Mercedes to his villa on several occasions. It was during these visits that Jellinek suggested to Daimler that he should enter his own cars in races and reliability trials under his own name, and convinced him and his chief designer Wilhelm Maybach that the future of the automobile lay in speed and elegance. At the same time he did not see speed as an incentive to be incautious, but rather as the real purpose of a motor vehicle: "If I cannot obtain more from an automobile than from a coach and horses, I might as well go back to horses!"
For the racing week in Nice in March 1899, Jellinek entered a Daimler "Phoenix" car using the pseudonym Monsieur "Mercedes" – a concealment that was clearly quite usual at the time.
Emil Jellinek was not discouraged even by a number of setbacks, and convinced DMG to build a completely new vehicle with a completely new engine which was to be named the "Daimler-Mercedes". The first example, a Mercedes 35 HP, was delivered to Jellinek on 22 December 1900. This new model developed by Wilhelm Maybach caused a sensation as the new century dawned: it was the world's most modern car, and is also regarded as the first modern automobile. The Mercedes 35 HP was the first automobile to have an autonomous design that had nothing left in common with the previously prevalent coach form.
At the race week in Nice at the end of March 1901, the cars bearing the name Mercedes showed what they were capable of: with four first places and five second places, the cars from Cannstatt were in a class of their own – whether in the long-distance run, the hill-race or the mile race. It was Paul Meyan, the General Secretary of the French Automobile Club, who coined the memorable statement: "We have entered the Mercedes era". The racing victories ensured extremely brisk sales, and the entire production was sold out up to 1904. The relationship between Jellinek and the management at Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft started to become strained, however. Cannstatt began to find the constant improvement suggestions of the practically-minded Jellinek increasingly tiresome, and in 1905 Jellinek even lost his sole selling rights for Daimler automobiles.

Privately Mercedes soon went her own way: the widowed Emil Jellinek remarried in 1899, and despite all the material comforts, his daughter felt increasingly neglected. Though remaining substantially unaware of her father's business problems, she resolved to search for her own happiness.
She found it with Baron Karl von Schlosser, whom she married in 1909. Very much to the satisfaction of her father, for whom the aristocratic title was a welcome addition. Mercedes took on the role of wife and mother, and the children Elfriede (born in 1912) and Hans-Peter (1916) seemed to make everything perfect.
But the fortunes of the Jellinek family, which officially changed its name to "Jellinek-Mercedes" in 1903, had long since started to decline. In 1914 the First World War broke out, her father Emil was suspected of espionage by the French and eventually lost his entire property. When he died on 21 January 1918, his daughter was leading a sad life as the wife of a civil servant. Mercedes had always felt that she was an artist by vocation, something that was impossible given her family background, and in 1923 she took a courageous step and left her family for the consumptive and penniless sculptor Baron Rudolf Weigl, who succumbed to his condition shortly afterwards. Mercedes Freifrau von Weigl, née Jellinek-Mercedes, died in Vienna on 23 February 1929, not even having reached the age of 40.
Her feeling that life could have been different seems to be reflected in many of the photos that are now in the Mercedes-Benz Classic archives. They show a young woman who appears to be sad in some way, and sometimes preoccupied. At least we now know that she left the world more than just her famous name.
Emil Jellinek had access to Europe's highest society. The energetic businessman died on 21 January 1918.

I was so excited to get this suit after all the hype, but noticed almost right away that the cups were doing the "gaping" that us small-busted ladies are all too familiar with. It's clearly a high quality suit, and it did give me some cleavage, but sadly I'm going to have to return it. There was a gap between the top of the cup and my chest that could easily be seen from the side and when I bent over. It's confusing that the previous reviewer and the tester in the suit description both loved it, so maybe it just didn't work for my particular body type.
Voda Swim
Envy Push-up Tie Front Top
What impressed us besides the fit and design of this Adjustable Bandeau from Voda was the enthusiastic responses we received from our customers who were gracious enough to help us test these! The Adjustable Bandeau features a clever design that allows the wearer to pull the cups closer together for cleavage but move them far out enough for their body width. One of our testers, a 36AA, was excited to see the cleavage this bandeau gave when the center ties were pulled! Voda's swimsuits feature patent pending foam cups that are super lightweight and super effective. In addition, the padding appears very natural and none of the tops have underwire. All hardware are 14k gold plated and salt water resistant. Ties at back and neck. Cups can fit AAA, AA and A. Body: nylon/spandex, lining: polyester/spandex
Disappointing fitMay 4, 2013
Absolutely love this!April 3, 2013
I've never been one to write product reviews, but i just received this top in the mail and LOVE it! I'm a 36aaa and this provides the "lift" that i've been looking for.
