High miles are seldom a selling point for any vehicle, but it's certainly a bigger issue with bikes than cars. So there has to be something very special indeed for a high-mileage bike to attract attention, and mileage doesn't get much higher than that accumulated by a 1955 Vincent Black Prince offered by Bonhams at Stafford in England on April 21.
Vinnylonglegs, as the bike is known, has racked up 721,703 miles in the hands of its original owner, Stuart Jenkinson, who bought his new 998cc Black Prince from St. Andrew's Motors in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1955.
Stuart rode Vinnylonglegs as regular transportation and on tours for the next quarter-century, but really started accumulating the miles in 1980 when he started running his own European bike tours, including travel in Germany, Belgium, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia, Czechoslovakia, Montenegro, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Hungary and Greece. In fact, Stuart estimates that about 120,000 miles were accumulated in Greece alone, in the course of 40 tours there. In a Bonhams statement, Stuart said, "As any long-term owner of a bike or car will understand, selling Vinnylonglegs after 56 years and almost three quarters of a million miles is going to be a serious wrench. I'll just have to make do now with the memories of all our wonderful trips."
According to the description, "modifications have included a re-designed front fairing, incorporating twin headlamps, and replacing the original upper frame with a stiffer box section Series C frame, while a four-gallon Series C fuel tank now caters for the longer distance tour. Electrical equipment has been modified to provide greater safety and reliability, while disc brakes and Koni dampers provide both safety and riding comfort. The pannier frames carry two five-gallon boxes, while the shelf above normally carries a large army kit bag with full camping gear." Bonhams estimates £35,000 – £40,000; do you bike people think that price makes sense?
Full catalog description follows after the jump.
Vinnylonglegs – one owner and just 721,703 miles!
1955 Vincent 998cc Black Prince
Registration no. WTN 92 Frame no. RC/1/11492/B Engine no. F10AB/2B/10913
Estimate £35,000 – 40,000
Phil Vincent described the new stylish 998cc Black Prince as a 'two wheeled Bentley.' It was launched at the 1954 Earls Court Motor Cycle Show alongside the 998cc Black Knight and the 500cc Victor. With its innovative full enclosure fairing and side panels, the new Black Prince was the sensation of the show. The new fairing and 'bodywork' was designed primarily for rider comfort and not for additional speed, as it was considered that the big-twin Vincents already had power-a-plenty. Although launched in 1954, it was early 1955 before delivery of the fibreglass components had been sorted out and the first models were offered to the public. With Vincent production ceasing in December 1955, the 'enclosed' Black Prince is one of the rarest of Vincent models.
WTN 92 was bought new in 1955 by its present owner from St. Andrews Motors of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Some fifty-six years on, he is the only person who has ever ridden this machine – with the sole exception, presumably, of the original works tester – and has covered 721,703 well-documented miles at the time of cataloguing. In Vincent circles, this machine is known world-wide as Vinnylonglegs. Until 1980, it was used for riding to work and long-distance touring holidays and in subsequent years was extensively used as lead bike on European tours in the owner's guided motorcycle tours business.
Many modifications were carried out to ensure that Vinnylonglegs became the ultimate Vincent for coping with Continental tours in mountain terrain and temperatures often between 30˚C and 40˚C. The original front fairing, mudguard and engine enclosures were replaced with a redesigned front fairing with twin sealed-beam headlights and two large side pockets. This significantly enhanced cool running. The original flimsy upper frame member was replaced with the much stiffer box section Series C frame member and a Primmer Series C four-gallon fuel tank fitted. The Series C upper frame member is now a six-pint reserve fuel tank. The original upper frame member and fuel tank are also offered with this machine. Electrics were enhanced with the fitting of a 240-watt alternator together with a range of modern electrical accessories, including winkers, high-level LED brake light, high-intensity rear fog lights, Lucas Rita ignition, electronic rev counter, twin six-volt Cyclon batteries (recently renewed) and headlamp flasher. Disc brakes have been fitted along with Koni dampers, hydraulic steering damper, 'O' ring chain with Scott oiler, magnetic drain plugs in crankcase, gearbox, primary chain case and in the return oil supply to the tank. A side stand has been fitted. The pannier frames carry two five-gallon boxes, and the frame above normally carries a large army kit bag with full camping kit.
Other original parts removed from the bike are offered with the machine and include the original six-volt Lucas dynamo and regulator, Lucas distributor with long bolt and stud, six-volt coil with bracket, original front fairing cross piece, battery carrier and strap and two adjusting screws and steel magneto cover.
This remarkable Vincent, which itself is a magnet at Vincent Owners' Club meetings, is offered with its original purchase receipt, buff log book, several expired MoT certificates and old tax discs, bills for spares and repairs and useful wiring diagrams. It comes also with the moulds for the front fairing and screen, a new rear tyre has been fitted and the bike will be offered with current MoT certificate and road licence.
The vendor regrets that only advancing years prevent his 750,000 mile target from being achieved. His interest in Vinnylonglegs in its new ownership will continue and he will be happy to advise the new owner regarding the niceties of modification carried out and the bike's unique idiosyncrasies.
Forget the magical number of 750K, that's just a number. What an accomplishment! What a great story! What a lucky man! Is it worth what they estimate it will bring? It is in my opinion. I hope it either goes to someone who will keep on riding the heck out of it, or that it goes into a nice museum with as much detailed history as possible. The worst thing that could happen is someone would buy it to convert it back to stock as a straight resto -I wouldn't touch it other than to ride it and maintain it.
I'd love to see someone buy this thing and ride the snot out of it, just like the prior owner did. Or, a museum that appreciates its fascinating provenance grab it. (Barber Vintage immediately comes to mind, they have a number of interesting unrestored bikes.)
Whatever happens to it, I do hope that nobody tries to bring it back to original. The stories that bike could tell are worth more than any original Black Prince.
I had a 1952 Vioncent Black Shadow for five years. It had over 100,000 miles on it when I got it. I did an engine overhaul and used it for daily transportation for five years. It was completely stock. One of the stupidest things I ever did was sell it. This bike has been very well modified and should last forever, if the maintenance is continued. 750K miles should be just the beginning. I wish I had the money….
Sounds like a good buy for Jay leno. he would ride the snot out of it but would be ridden now and again and be well taken care. He likes to update his rides to enjoy them so he could just jump on this and go.
I would not say 750K is just a number. It was a goal for this man and like all of us it's tough when you can't reach a goal.
This would be a great bike for someone to ride around to the rallies. I met a guy this year at Sturgis that does this on his 1947 Indian.
Is the bike worth it? I have ridden 1K miles a day back to back and would say it might be a little low. 🙂 I think with all the documentation it should come in pretty close.
My hat is off to the owner.

Wars affect many more people than just the soldiers involved in the fighting. During the Revolutionary War, the men, women and children left on the home front found their world turned upside down. The economy struggled to keep up with the demands of the war. Goods were scarce and both armies took provisions from private citizens by force. Battles sometimes came to civilians' front doors.
Printed Handkerchief, circa 1790. Courtesy of the Concord Museum.
This linen handkerchief was crafted in England in approximately 1790. The border is made up of idealized pictures and short poems describing the experiences of American women on the home front during the Revolutionary War. The women are optimistic about the new challenges they are facing and each task is a "labor of love."

Women's lives were dramatically altered by the war, whether they participated in the activities of the Continental or British armies or labored to keep up their families' farms and businesses. At the same time, they had to care for their families in the face of food shortages and the ever-looming threats of violence and looting. In this lesson, students will examine a handkerchief printed with poems and illustrations about life on the home front during the Revolution. Students will analyze the poems to discover the changing roles of women as they took on the responsibilities of their absent husbands and fathers who were fighting for American independence.

Well, Franklin Hillside says, "When Quinn the Pancaker gets here, everybody's gonna run and hide!"
I love pancakes….and I love blocking. Combining the two together into a Pancake Block makes me giddy, and in case you were wondering, a pancake block is one in which the blocker flattens a defender and buries him in the turf.
August 1st marks the day Quinn "The Pancake" Johnson begins his assault on would-be tacklers across the NFL. Does Johnson get the moniker, Pancaker, because, much like pancakes, he is awesome? Seriously, pancakes are awesome, what other food has an international house? No, he will from here forward be known as Pancaker because in his final season at LSU, Johnson was credited for 70 pancake blocks and looks to continue with the Packers where he left off in college. Think about that. It means he averaged just over 5 blocks a game last year where he took a defender to the ground.
Now, I didn't jump to this nickname without some thought. I read also read this:
He excels at blowing linebackers out of the holeAfter reading this draft pick analysis, I contemplated dubbing Johnson: Whale Spout or Blow Hole, but for some reason the evolutionary miracle of a whale's breathing just can't live up to the fluffy, syrup-covered goodness of a pancake. I thought about Lava-Spewing Volcano Man-Freak, but a pancake still beats a volcano 9 out of 10 times in a fair fight.
And so, enter Quinn "The Pancake" Johnson.
The song, The Mighty Quinn, ends with the line: "You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn." Yessir, Mr. Dylan. I'm looking forward to it.

Curious what the founders of "The Count," which tallies the number of women who get published in top literary magazines (spoiler: not many), think of the 2012 National Magazine Award finalists? Although four women were nominated in the Public Interest category, there are no ladies to be found in prestigious categories like reporting, features, profiles, essays, and columns — basically, few women were nominated unless they wrote about ladybusiness. "The National Magazine Awards have sent a pretty clear message," co-founder Erin Belieu told Mother Jones. "When it comes to a career in journalism, chicks should stick to writing about chicks."

When the arduino has an onboard cap in series from DTR pin to the chip's reset, then a cap is not needed on the CP2102 module.
Did you swap them because of the pinout on your arduino, or because the board was mislabeled (that rx was labelled as tx?)?
what/where are these boards you are getting?? (that has the DTR pin broke out)
you dont have to use the 6-pin header do you?
I mean treat this like any other FTDI cable..yes?
as long as I run 5v+, GND, RX, TX to my chip.. Im good.. I can then use/tap the DTR pad from the bottom of the board to use on the DTR of the circuit Im uploading my sketch to....right?
also is there a driver for it?
@msev,a board like you describe is easy to make.

4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
Ok guys, I wasn't planning to post this recipe, since it's basically just adding one ingredient to my favorite 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies that I posted last holiday season. But this peanut buttery chocolatey goodness was too good not to share.
And my friend swore that these were "pretty much his favorite cookies EVER".
And come on — just 4 ingredients? Hard to beat.
So what's a blogger to do?
Well, of course.
Blog them. ;)
Actually, these cookies also extra-special today because they are my contribution to a virtual baby shower (make that a double baby shower for twins!!) that a bunch of food bloggers have joined together to throw for my friend Bev.
For those of you who have never experienced the Bev-ness of Bev Cooks, you'd better hop over to her beautiful and hilarious blog right now to experience it for yourself. She's bright, she's witty, she's a hard worker, and she's a rockstar cook.
But beyond that, Bev is a fellow Kansas City-an (do we actually call ourselves that?!) and used to live just a mile away from me before I moved downtown. I'm totally grateful to count her as a friend in town and a fellow blogging compadre, and am super excited about these two little buns in the oven that she's a-cookin' right now! Bev has candidly and bravely shared on her blog about how she and her husband struggled for years with infertility. But I'm ridiculously grateful that her story has had a happy ending, and that she and Aaron are now expecting twins!!! That's right. A little boy and girl are about to make their grand entrance into the Weidner family, and I cannot wait for the stories and photos and baby posts that are to come. I have no doubt that cuteness will abound — both with the kiddos and their always charming mama. And I can't wait to hear Bev's fabulous take on it all.
BUT, when it comes to food and cooking, the one thing about Bev is that she's nnnnnnnot so much into the whole desserts thing. Every now and then some sweets will sneak their way onto her blog. But for the most part, Bev is a savory girl after my own heart.
But I figured that some 4 ingredient cookies (really — two of the four are "savory" Bev!!) might fit the bill, even for a not-so-desserty friend. They are super easy to make and — at least in my experience — a total crowd-pleaser of a recipe. Here's the how to:
Basically, you combine the first three ingredients — PB, sugar and egg — in a bowl and stir until combined. You can use an electric stand mixer, or I chose to burn a few extra calories and do it by hand. ;) Easy peasy.
Add in those chocolate chips, and stir until combined.
Then roll the dough into balls, and place on a baking sheet.
Use your fingers to flatten each dough ball a bit, since they won't really rise when baking. And if you want an extra little food styling tip, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each dough ball before baking for some extra chocolate chip-y goodness.
Bake for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies begin to slightly harden…
…and then dive in. Well, the recipe says to let them cool on a wire rack. But no one really listens to that part, right?!
Happy baby shower to you, Bev! Mwah!!
4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
These 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies are easy to make, gluten-free, and crazy delicious!
- 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
- 1 cup sugar (plus extra for dipping if desired)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with [parchment paper|.
Using an electric mixer or a strong spoon, mix together the peanut butter, white sugar, egg and chocolate chips until smooth.
Form dough into round tablespoon-fulls. Then roll in an extra bowl of sugar, if desired, to coat the outside of the dough ball. Place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart, and flatten slightly with your hand or a spatula. If desired, place a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra delicious (and attractive) chocolate-ness.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cookies are just slightly browned on the bottom, being careful not to over-bake. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

This was an awesome recipe, thank you for posting this! I've been snowed in (east coast blizzard) with my picky kids for 4 days, and slowly running out of snacks. I didn't know what to expect with a 3-ingredient recipe, but the kids loved these cookies! Tasty, easy, no-fuss cookies in a pinch!
I've made these several times and they are a huge crowd pleaser! I made these for a book club that got postponed. Will they last a week or should I freeze them? Thanks!
I made these today for dessert and they were scrumptious. I did adjust the recipe by using half as much as sugar as was required and I left the cookies in to bake for about three minutes longer. I found they looks too uncooked after 8 minutes. When I took them out at the 11 minute mark the bottoms looked burnt, like charcoal. I was so disappointed but then when I took a bite the cookie was soft, sweet, and there was absolutely 0% of any burnt taste. So if you leave them in for too long, it's okay! Loved this easy recipe.
Have you tried a variation of this cookie without granulated sugar? Do you have a recommendation to make without or with an alternate sweetener? They sound great!

Hi – I really like your site. I will definitely try out a few recipes in the future. I just made these cookies and unfortunately they were too sweet for my taste. I used natural peanut butter, and had to bake a few minutes longer. I'll try again in the future and try 1/2 cup of sugar. Thank you for the recipe, and all the best with your blog.

These were great I sprinkled sugar on them before baking my family loved ypthem thank you for sharing your recipe
Thank you for saving me! 3 days I have been dying for PB cookies. The craving has driven me mad, I saw this and thought, thank goodness, something doable, not time consuming, not a long list of ingredients. It was perfect. I couldn't even wait until they cooled down. I did use coconut palm sugar and did just a half a cup because I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't like things that sweet. Took em out and sprinkled a tiny bit of coarse salt on top. Yum. Thank you. This was awesome! And just what I needed

My husband and I were so excited to make these for our friends who cannot eat gluten. It smelled so good but it did not bake up well or brown, even though we let them go for 11 mins. What a bummer.
I made these the other day, but instead of chocolate chips I used crushed peanut butter cups!? Honestly the most addicting thing you could ever make!!

Thanks for the recipe!
For Jewish, the cookies are great for Passover!
My oven is not that well and the cookies got burnt at the bottom. It did affect the taste. After the cookies cooled down I removed the burnt part with a knife, and the cookies were wonderful!
Thanks a lot!

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Qualcomm's tie-up with Sharp Corp will not affect Hon Hai Precision's talks with the Japanese firm to become its biggest shareholder and the deadline to reach a decision by next March still stands, a Taiwan newspaper reported on Wednesday, quoting Hon Hai's chairman.
Terry Gou, chairman of Hon Hai Precision Industry, a major supplier of parts to Apple Inc, was mentioned by the United Evening News as saying the Taiwan firm's talks to get an up to 9.9 percent stake will not change even though the cash injection from Qualcomm will give the U.S. chipmaker a 5 percent stake in Sharp.
Gou reiterated that he expects to reach a decision with Sharp before March 2013, the Chinese-language newspaper reported.
Sharp's talks with Hon Hai to renegotiate its investment have stalled in the past few months as the Japanese company's losses have mounted.
A Hon Hai executive, when contacted by Reuters on Wednesday, said that the talks are still on and the price Hon Hai will pay Sharp was yet to be agreed on by both companies.

Energy commission coming to Brattleboro
BRATTLEBORO -- A commission taking a close look at how Vermont's energy-generation projects are approved will make a stop in Brattleboro this week.
The Governor's Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission has scheduled a public hearing from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at Brattleboro Union High School, 131 Fairground Road.
"This is just an opportunity to hear any ideas that the public might have," said Chris Recchia, commissioner of Vermont's Public Service Department.
The hearing is the latest step in a process leading to the commission's final report to Gov. Peter Shumlin and the state Legislature. That document is due by April 30.
Shumlin created the commission Oct. 2. Officials have said a growing number of electric-generation projects -- along with the state's push for more renewable energy -- created a need to examine Vermont's permitting process.
The commission is supposed to "survey best practices for siting approval of electric-generation projects."
Also under consideration is whether Vermont allows adequate opportunity for public input in that permitting process.
The latter topic includes debate about the role of local land-use regulations. That's been a hot topic locally, as the Town of Windham has been attempting to use its town plan to stop a potential turbine project there.
The siting commission is asking "what role should local plans, local zoning and regional plans play in the selection of these sites?" Recchia said.
The commission up until this point has been meeting in Montpelier. The Brattleboro hearing will be followed by hearings Jan. 30 in Burlington and Feb. 12 in Lowell.
Commissioners also have scheduled a series of site visits. Before traveling to Brattleboro for the Jan. 23 hearing, they'll spend part of the afternoon at Granite Ridge Energy Natural Gas Facility in Londonderry, N.H.
Other scheduled site visits include South Burlington Solar Farm, McNeil Generating Station in Burlington, Sheffield Wind in Sheffield and Kingdom Community Wind in Lowell.
There is limited public participation during those site visits. Those who want to participate have to enter a lottery; more information is available at the commission's website, http://sitingcommission.vermont.gov.
Anyone is welcome at the public hearings, however. No advance sign-up is required at the Brattleboro hearing, Recchia said.
"Just show up," he said. "You're welcome to talk about any aspect of the commission's charges."
Commissioners have begun their deliberations, but there still is plenty of opportunity for public input, Recchia said.
"We've been hearing from a variety of stakeholders," he said. "As of last week, we started really debating the key issues. And that's going to go on until the end of March."
There are five members of the commission, and it includes Windham County representation:
-- Gaye Symington, executive director of the High Meadows Fund and former speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives.
-- Jan Eastman, past president of the Snelling Center for Government and former secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
-- Tom Bodett of Dummerston, a Selectboard member and municipal representative to the VT Enhanced 911 Board.
-- Louise McCarren, former chairwoman of the Vermont Public Service Board.
-- Scott Johnstone, executive director of the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation and former secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.

Coal Ash Issue
Quiet now for DENR's Skvarla, but storms loom
A year ago, I went to see John Skvarla, the newly appointed secretary of the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources. On Jan. 31, I went back to see how the year treated the former businessman-turned-novice-regulator.
It's notable that I found him still there. I expected his notions about better customer service for permit-seekers and his doubts about global warming to have landed him in an environmental regulatory blow-up by now. But he's so far avoided the kind of fiascoes that have marked the tenure of Secretary Aldona Wos of the Department of Health and Human Services. Skvarla's friendly manner and wily instincts have served him well. But it's early yet, and trouble is brewing.
Just days before I spoke with the DENR secretary, a broken pipe in a waste-treatment plant spewed 3.5 million gallons of untreated wastewater into the Haw River. A few days later, a broken pipe under a coal ash storage pond owned by Duke Energy dumped 82,000 tons of ash mixed with 27 million gallons of contaminated water into the Dan River, lining the riverbed with ash that includes toxic metals.
Ironically, a broken pipe was the metaphor Skvarla used to describe his and the rest of the McCrory administration's first task. The pipe represents government operations, and it is wastefully leaking tax dollars. It's the favorite subject of McCroryites – fixing a broken government system.
"What I have learned in the past year is that operations of this state government were so badly broken that we should be ashamed of ourselves," he said. Then he launched into the pipe metaphor. "No one has ever inspected the pipe, and there's a giant hole in it. Let's fix the hole in the pipeline," he said.
Soon after the secretary was with the governor examining the effects of a real broken pipeline and what a coal ash spill can do to the environment. Maybe it helped him see that what matters most isn't squeezing regulatory costs, but making sure there are enough inspections and regulations to prevent big spills and other forms of pollution.
Skvarla is a great believer in positive attitude, which leaves him puzzled by DENR employees who don't like the way he has refocused their mission to take the hassle out of permitting and to be sensitive to the needs of companies. They also are suspicious of his move to reorganize the agency and the way employees are evaluated in light of his customer service mantra. There was grumbling when he sent a memo to employees urging them to "smile, be happy, have fun and enjoy the process."
Skvarla gets animated about DENR employees who won't get with the program.
"Listen, we can be happy, we can have fun, we can enjoy the process or we can live in East Berlin. Who was it that wanted to tear down the wall in East Berlin, the East Germans or the West Germans? You want to be an East Berliner? Go ahead. I choose to be a West Berliner, and I want the sun to shine and I want to be happy."
Skvarla says there is no morale problem at DENR, but maybe there's an internal Cold War.
Despite his entreaties to employees, Skvarla isn't always sunny. He writes letters to the editor responding to critical editorials and op-ed articles. He says he reaches out to the environmental community, but he's critical of some advocacy groups.
"They raise money because they are very loud and proud, and they pay themselves salaries," he said. "Now, how can they raise money unless they make me the devil?"
But it may not be his critics who make him unpopular. It's likely to be his decisions. Skvarla endorsed an idea to put off rules limiting pollutants in the Jordan Lake watershed. Instead, he supports a plan to use floating stirring machines to reduce the buildup of harmful algae.
Other issues loom as the state develops rules for hydraulic fracturing and tries to limit an upcoming EPA rule covering power plant carbon emissions.
Major disputes may also come as DENR announces the results of its review of rules ordered by the General Assembly. The review will cover 4,500 DENR rules, including 400 that concern water quality. Skvarla indicated there will be substantial pruning.
"What's going to get thrown out is the stuff that's ridiculous and never should have been there in the first place," he said. "We are going to strengthen the ones that need to be strengthened, and we are going to, ah, fine-tune the ones that need to be fine-tuned. That's a pretty rational process for anybody's business."
Protecting the environment is not a business. But Skvarla thinks business principles apply. And he sees no conflict between protecting the environment and helping permit-seekers through "the maze" of regulations.
"I don't think it's mutually exclusive," he said. "Everybody assumed when I got here because I had a pro-growth proclivity that I was going to have to sacrifice the environment to get there. Why?"
North Carolina and Skvarla may soon find out whether a regulator can both protect the environment and spur the economy.

2012 Cosmoprof Asia Closed with Double-digit Growth in Number of Visitors
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 21, 2012 10:01 PM
HONG KONG, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cosmoprof Asia, the largest and most definitive beauty trade event in the Asia Pacific region has closed with record numbers.
(Photo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2012/11/21/20121121192520591113.html )
The show, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 14 to 16 November, is a confirmation of the strength and identity of the Cosmoprof brand and its ability to attract the who's who of the global beauty industry.
The event, celebrating its 17th year, posted impressive numbers:
Exhibitors reported excellent results and high satisfaction. Their expectation of meeting new prospective customers was widely met thanks to the participation of buyers of very high standing from across the world including procurers representing Chanel, Coty, Estee Lauder, Johnson & Johnson, LVMH, P&G, Unilever as well as Li & Fung, Mannings, SaSa, Sephora and Watsons.
"Amika is the leader in hair care and hair appliances and Cosmoprof Asia is vital to help us expand our professional distribution in Asia. We are looking to expand our business as a heavy player in Asia's professional beauty market and have received a lot of interest in our brand and met several good distributors at the show," said Heather Coughlin, National Education Manager, Amika (USA).
"Cosmoprof Asia is the meeting point with the major international actors of the industry. An important rendezvous for us on a fast growing platform," said spokesperson of Albea (France).
"This is the most important beauty event in Asia, the show in which international brands should participate. This is the place for finding high quality business opportunities as well as enhancing brand awareness. Congratulations to the Cosmoprof team," commented Tommaso Corradini, General Manager, Bioline S.r.l. (Italy).
"For 15 years we have been the leader in the Asian market but we are maintaining high investments in order to keep the leadership in this market. Being at Cosmoprof Asia is just one of these important strategic investments," said Nelson Philippe, Owner, LPG Systems (France).
For the 6th consecutive year, Cosmoprof Asia organised the International Buyer Programme to facilitate direct contact between exhibitors and international buyers. Prominent buyers from Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and Russia were invited to meet one-on-one with exhibitors of their choice. During the 3-day event, more than 140 one-on-one business meetings took place at the International Buyers Lounge with unanimous endorsement from all participants for the benefits of this formula.
Cosmoprof Asia Special Events
All seminars and concurrently-held events were fully attended.

The notable hair maestro Mark Leeson and Schwarzkopf Professional celebrated the hair event through hair shows and seminars.
Seminars on China and Japan offered the audience a better understanding of the evolution in the two leading Asian cosmetic markets.
Preview on 2013/2014 fashion and beauty trends as well as sessions on sustainable packaging, and on natural and organic cosmetic products, also attracted large audience.
The 5th Cosmoprof Asia Spa Conference brought together a high-caliber panel of speakers and professionals from the Spa industry.

Lance Armstrong's bike shop open for business
Mellow Johnny's packs 'em in
Mellow Johnny's, the newest bike shop in Austin, Texas, had its grand opening May 10, and for general manager Craig Staley, overseeing Lance Armstrong's first bike shop has been a labour of love.
The shop opened at 7 a.m., and by the time BikeRadar decided to head back to the hotel to file this report, it was nearly midnight. Staley, beer in hand, smiled and told us he had two hours to go before getting some much-needed sleep. Armstrong had just left the party, and several guests were still lingering, not wanting the day to end.
Manager Craig Staley and Trek's John Burke
What began as a business idea between Armstrong and Trek Bicycle Corporation five or six years ago has crystalized into an 18,000-square-foot bike shop with a built-in coffee shop called Juan Pelota, located at the corner of Fourth and Nueces in downtown Austin, home of Dell Computers, 709,893 people, and named the number one best big city to live by Money Magazine. It helps that the University of Texas brings in co-eds every year, and Austin is known as the live music capitol of the world.
But for Staley, the next challenge is to put Austin on the map for bicyclists, and not just for seven-time Tour de France winners.
"Two years ago we started looking at 5,000-square-foot shops to get inspiration," Staley told BikeRadar Saturday afternoon. "I have experience managing running stores, and rode bikes with Lance when we were teenagers."
Staley was all settled in California when Lance and his business partner Bart Knaggs convinced him, after five tries, to relocate to Austin and commit to this venture. With 16 employees, soon to balloon to 35-plus, Staley has his work cut out for him. Thankfully, Armstrong has a solid history with Trek, so it's a no-brainer to see road, city, mountain and kids bikes from the Waterloo, Wisconsin maker.
"Once the dust settles from the grand opening and reality kicks in, our marketing plan is pretty obvious," Staley said. "We call it 'cheating' to have Lance as one of the owners because he's so visible.
"The thing is, because this is Lance's place, we can't afford to be mediocre; everything has to be dialed, because that's how Lance is," he added.
Armstrong's 1993 World's-winning Team Motorola Caloi, made by Litespeed
Armstrong and Staley have been making the rounds since signing a lease on the property in June 2007, visiting bike shops around the country during business trips. They even drank in the recent North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHMBS) in Portland, where Armstrong plunked down US$15,000 for a handmade beauty from Canadian makers Naked, which now hangs gallery-style in Mellow Johnny's. Bikes from 2007 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, longtime teammate George Hincapie, and a Caloi-branded Litespeed that Armstrong rode to victory in the 1993 Worlds in Norway also hang from the rafters.
Armstrong's big purchase, the $15,000 Naked
"Actually, the Naked bike is probably the first bike Lance paid for himself," Staley added. He also mentioned how cool it would be to have the Handmade Show in Austin someday, something highly plausible given the Show's nomadic nature.
Besides Trek, Mellow Johnny's offers Swobo and Masi urban bikes, Pinarello, Merckx, DeRosa, Crumpton and Seven road bikes, Fisher and Santa Cruz mountain bikes, and Dahon foldable bikes. Despite Armstrong's obvious relationships with Trek, Nike, Oakley and Giro, Staley was quite pleased to see Trek revamp its road and dirt platforms in 2007, a move he said was critical for Mellow Johnny's to feature the brand that carried Armstrong to victory in France from 1999 to 2005.
Swobo's Sky Yaeger, explaining the new Del Norte
Staley also mentioned their focus on working closely with the city on bikeability and transportation issues, employing a liaison to work closely with Austin to create a more bike-friendly city. A 45-story condominium is going up across the street, with several more planned in the next few years. From Staley's viewpoint, Austin is expanding greatly, and he wants Mellow Johnny's to be there to make a difference. Armstrong and Knaggs signed a five-year lease on the property with a five-year option, so the proof will be in getting over that new-business hump and increasing cash flow while providing a service to the Austin cycling community.
Star gazing
Because of the expansive 9,000-square-foot main level (there's a similar-sized footprint below) with high ceilings, a crowded opening day didn't feel too crowded, despite the steady flow of well-wishers, star gawkers and tyre kickers. Armstrong's longtime coach Chris Carmichael, Ben Harper musician Mike Ward, mountain bike pioneer Gary Fisher and Armstrong himself took one-hour shifts to sign books, posters and clothing throughout the day.
Armstrong signs a poster for Gary Fisher's mom
Mixing in the crowd were Swobo mavens Sky Yaeger and Erin Kirkpatrick, Kozo Shimano, Trek president John Burke, and Armstrong's former Motorola manager Jim Ochowicz. Mellow Johnny's merchandise was flying off the shelves, a sight that pleased Staley.
"Yes, we sell and service bikes, but we're really going to focus on soft goods here," he said. Besides the American Apparel Mellow Johnny's t-shirts, clothing abounded from Rapha, Swobo, Pearl Izumi, Hincapie, Capo Forma, Chrome, Livestrong, RVCA, Mash, Castelli, Craft and Giordana. The cool factor was amplified by the music piped into the store all day, including the latest from Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay, two of Armstrong's favourite bands.
As we heard throughout the day, if someone has deep pockets and wants to open a bike shop the right way, Mellow Johnny's has hit a homerun.

Paul's sermon before Felix
"And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Acts 24:25
suggested further reading: Acts 17:30–18:1
Felix, unhappy Felix! why is it that thou dost rise from thy judgment-seat? Is it that thou hast much business to do? Stop, Felix; let Paul speak to thee a minute longer. Thou hast business; but hast thou no business for thy soul? Stop, unhappy man! Art thou about again to be extortionate, again to make thy personal riches greater? Oh! stop: canst thou not spare another minute for thy poor soul? It is to live for ever: hast thou nought laid up for it—no hope in heaven, no blood of Christ, no pardon of sin, no sanctifying Spirit, no imputed righteousness? Ah! man, there will be a time when the business that seems so important to thee will prove to have been but a day-dream, a poor substitute for the solid realities thou hast forgotten. Dost thou reply, "Nay, the king has sent me an urgent commission; I must attend to Caesar." Ah! Felix, but thou has a greater monarch than Caesar, there is one who is Emperor of heaven and Lord of earth: canst thou spare no time to attend to his commands? Before his presence Caesar is but a worm. Man! wilt thou obey the one, and wilt thou despise the other? Ah! no; I know what thou durst not say. Felix, thou art turning aside again to indulge in thy lascivious pleasures. Go, and Drusilla with thee! But stop! Darest thou do that, with that last word ringing in thy ears, "Judgment to come?" What! Wilt thou repeat that wanton dalliance that hath damned thee already, and wilt thou go again to stain thy hands in lust, and doubly damn thy spirit, after warnings heard and felt? O man! I could weep o'er thee.
for meditation: When you hear the Word of God preached, do you get impatient for the sermon to finish and forget about it as soon as you can? That can be a very dangerous habit. We need to act upon it there and then—receive, remember, repent (Revelation 3:3; Luke 8:18).
sermon no. 171[1]

You decide: are the guys in this video funny, gutsy or just plain weird, creepy and jerk-ish?
In the pursuit of a girl's number guys tend to find themselves at a loss for words. It's a mere five-word question: can I get your number? However, for some reason we tend to face an unimaginable dry mouth when it comes time to speaking to members of the opposite sex. But apparently, these three dudes have figured out a way to get around the rejection… and the actual question.
We're curious if a date transpired afterwards. Surely these girls couldn't resist going out with a guy wearing sweats in the middle of the day, another wearing a backwards American flag cap and another who's hair proves to be more flowing than most of the girls he hits on. What a "meet-cute"! Or is it a ("meet-creep"?)

Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) — Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross, hurt by a wrong-way bet on Brazil last year, said the nation is no longer a preferred emerging market for the world's largest fixed-income manager.
Gross, speaking at the 2014 ETF Virtual Summit, said the firm still finds Mexican debt attractive. Gross is co-founder and chief investment officer of Newport Beach, Calif.-based PIMCO.
PIMCO's biggest funds were bullish on Brazil in 2013, a wager that hurt performance. Gross wrote in a Twitter message a year ago that the Brazilian currency, the real, was a better use of cash than high-yield bonds. The real fell 13 percent against the dollar last year, while U.S. high-yield bonds climbed 7.4 percent, based on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High- Yield Index.
Brazilian bonds and currency represented the largest holdings in the $11.5 billion PIMCO Emerging Local Bond Fund as of Sept. 30, according to PIMCO's website. Other PIMCO funds that blamed the Brazil wager for detracting from performance were Gross's PIMCO Total Return, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Unconstrained and PIMCO Commodity RealReturn Strategy.
Local-currency Brazilian notes lost 11 percent in dollars in 2013 compared with the average 6.9 percent drop in emerging markets tracked by JPMorgan Chase (JPM). The Brazilian debt was hurt by a combination of slow growth and accelerating inflation. The real has tumbled 7.4 percent in the past three months, the second-worst performance among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg after South Africa's rand, on concern fiscal deterioration will lead to a lower credit rating.

My two daughters attend the Jacob Hiatt Magnet School in Worcester. Helen and Katerine are in second and first grade, respectively, and they love going to school. My wife and I have been extremely impressed with the dedicated staff and their high expectations for all of the children that attend Jacob Hiatt. As one of 33 elementary schools in the Worcester public schools system, Jacob Hiatt has an extended school day, and more than 70 percent of its students are raised in low-income households. Many of the children are first-generation Americans and come from homes where English is not the primary language.
Prior to the Super Bowl, the school had a dress-down day in lieu of wearing uniforms. Oftentimes, dress-down days have a theme and this particular day was focused on the upcoming Super Bowl and sports. Like all of her classmates, my daughter Helen was very excited about this dress-down day and repeatedly asked my wife to buy her a Tom Brady jersey.
As a father, Patriots fan and former high school and college quarterback (well, fourth-string QB for a Division III college football team), I was excited that my daughter was suddenly interested in football. In the past, I have attempted to explain the rules of the game to her and why we root for the Patriots. Their school is named after a man whose family now owns the Patriots, which I�ve told Helen and Katerine many times.
Nonetheless, they both prefer that I watch Disney�s �Good Luck Charlie� or �Sponge Bob� instead of football. Needless to say, I was surprised but appreciative of Helen�s sudden interest in wanting a Tom Brady jersey.
Though I hoped my previous attempts to teach Helen about football and the Patriots were effective, my wife quickly burst my bubble. As it turns out, Helen only wanted a Tom Brady jersey because he is her teacher�s favorite player.
This revelation, while deflating to my football aspirations, again reinforced to me what a significant role teachers play in shaping our children�s lives. Children, especially the younger ones like my daughters, look up to their teachers and want to meet their expectations in almost every way.
Beyond just football jerseys, day in and day out, Massachusetts educators work hard to excite and motivate young people to excel academically. Many different measures have Massachusetts students leading the nation as well as the world in academic achievement. However, achievement gaps and disparities still exist in schools across the state.
We need to keep moving the ball downfield to provide all students the opportunity for a promising and successful future. Gov. Deval Patrick and I are committed to working with the Legislature, educators and other partners to build a 21st-century public education system that meets the needs for every child to succeed in the classroom, the workplace and in life.
You have likely heard of the plan Mr. Patrick has laid out to accomplish this � raise new revenue that will be directed to education, as well as transportation and innovation. We know these investments are critical to accelerating our economic growth and creating greater opportunities for future generations.
Specifically, the recent budget submitted by our administration includes:
�Funding for initiatives that will expand access to early education, a critical step to ensuring that all students are proficient in reading by the end of third grade.
�Increasing the number of schools that can extend their school days, an action we know helps to keep kids from dropping out of school.
�Funding to make higher education more affordable.
The governor and I know that asking people to pay more by any type of tax increase is never easy. However, when our children succeed academically, we strengthen our economy in both the short and long term as we build the workforce Massachusetts employers are clamoring for every day.
When this happens, Massachusetts wins, and that is worthy of a Tom Brady touchdown pass, which I think would make my daughter�s second-grade teacher proud.
Timothy P. Murray is lieutenant governor of Massachusetts.

Now the nRF51822 and nRF51422 SoCs' stacks and application firmware can be upgraded quickly and easily using the devices' own wireless link. The OTA-DFU feature allows complete application and protocol stack upgrades and is not limited to just partial updates and patching. When using OTA-DFU, firmware upgrades can be delivered in a variety of ways depending on the chip's use case. (Nordic provides an iOS or Android smartphone app that demonstrates this flexibility.)
The Concurrent Peripheral/Broadcaster role is another feature that allows the nRF51 series SoC to broadcast data whilst in a connected state.
Since Nordic's nRF51 Series' launch in June 2012, SoftDevice performance has been increasingly enhanced by successive revisions. The SoftDevice is a key element of the unique software architecture of Nordic's award-winning nRF51 Series SoCs. The architecture cleanly separates the Bluetooth low energy, ANT or 2.4GHZ proprietary SoftDevice from the developer's application code removing the need for the engineer to struggle with integration of their code as part of a vendor-imposed application development framework.
"This v7.0 release of the S110 is the biggest improvement to this software stack yet," says Thomas Bonnerud, Nordic Semiconductor's Director of Product Management. "In particular, the addition of OTA-DFU is a real boost to wireless device manufacturers because end products such as a keyboard, fitness monitor, or a smart-home sensor can now be updated in the field in a simple, secure, and reliable way using the nRF SoC's own wireless link. In other sectors manufacturers and users have come to expect this functionality, but Nordic Semiconductor is the first company to bring complete over-the-air updates to ULP wireless SoCs."
S110 SoftDevice v7.0 alpha release is available from the week of April 14, with full production release available in May 2014.

This was first posted on my blog, Shiloh Musings, Rivlin versus Netanyahu. http://shilohmusings.blogspot.co.il/2015/09/rivlin-versus-netanyahu.htmlIn his new position as President of the State of Israel, Likud veteran Ruby Rivlin is sounding more and more like Leftist Labor leader Isaac Herzog:
Netanyahu has caused ripples with his outspoken attacks on the July 14 accord on Iran's controversial nuclear programme between Israel's arch foe Tehran and world powers led by the United States.
"It seems to me that there have been three periods during which we could have envisaged a renewed dialogue with the United States despite our differences of opinion," said the president, whose role is purely ceremonial. (Yahoo news)
Poll: Support for Iran Deal Plummets to Lowest Level Yet
American support for the nuclear deal between six world powers led by the U.S. and Iran has dropped to an incredible 21 percent low, staining what the Obama administration hoped would be its crowning foreign policy achievement in the second term. (Algemeiner)

Firefighters in West Yorkshire are to stage another 24-hour strike next week.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) will walk out from 7am on Wednesday, February 25, as part of a long-running dispute with the government over pensions and retirement age.
The union has accused fire minister Penny Mordaunt of 'misleading' MPs over what will happen to firefighters' pensions if they fail fitness tests.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "It is clear that when Penny Mordaunt gave the guarantee in Parliament she would have been aware that no fire authority ever planned to implement a 'guarantee'.
"In order to win the vote to pass the flawed firefighters pension regulations Penny Mordaunt misled firefighters and Parliament. The minister is still writing to firefighters telling them they have the guarantee when she clearly knows that they do not.
"Firefighters are unbelievably angry with the disgraceful actions of this government. Firefighters still face the choice of either being sacked or receiving a severely reduced pension if they fail fitness tests as a result of naturally declining fitness through age. Exactly the opposite of what the minister told Parliament."
Emergency staffing will be provided by community response operatives who have been trained specifically to cover when crews go on strike. The 24 hour strike will be followed by a period of action short of strike - where employees can refuse to undertake certain parts of their role - from 7am on February 26 until further notice.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer Dave Walton, of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "It is extremely disappointing that we once again find ourselves planning for yet another period of strike action by our firefighters.
"It is now 18 months since the first strike occurred and since then there have been 48 occasions when the people of West Yorkshire have not been protected by the normal level of highly skilled staff.
"There appears to be no end in sight to this ongoing and damaging dispute - each time a strike occurs the public are once again placed at risk."

Hello everyone!
First of all I would like to thanks everyone involved in creating and keeping up to date this great project!
As per topic, I would like to suggest a small change in the default value of sort_buffer_size in my.ini file which is 64K, and increase it to at least 128K.
The reason why I ask for that change is an error in the Joomla! CMS - all latest versions. Joomla require higher value by default, but it won't inform about it, instead after installation in every single admin screen you will see an empty error notice box - http://imgur.com/a/kC2fh
In Joomla! github repository, long ime ago there was a topic about this issue, but without conclusion or fixes how Joomla can check correctly sort_buffer_size values.
Is there is possiblity that next releases could have this value increased?
Thanks in advance !

Friedman tight-lipped about Price after Day 1
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- While Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has remained tight-lipped regarding specific players or trades being targeted, one thing is certain: David Price remains the most coveted prize of Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings.
On Monday, at the conclusion of Day 1, the most prominent rumored suitors for Price are the Mariners, Angels, Dodgers, Rangers and D-backs.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- While Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has remained tight-lipped regarding specific players or trades being targeted, one thing is certain: David Price remains the most coveted prize of Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings.
On Monday, at the conclusion of Day 1, the most prominent rumored suitors for Price are the Mariners, Angels, Dodgers, Rangers and D-backs.
Price is due to make approximately $30 million over the next two seasons before being eligible for free agency. But the way the Rays have historically done business and the fact that their payroll does not equal that of the larger-market teams have fueled the speculation that Price will traded.
Of course, any team open to trading for Price would likely want him to agree to a long-term deal, but Friedman would not address whether Tampa Bay would allow possible trade partners to negotiate with Price prior to a deal being struck.
"We don't talk about specifics of trades," Friedman said. "Beyond that, I think, we have trade discussions about players, both that we're looking to acquire or to potentially trade. And within the scope of those conversations, we talk about a lot of different factors."
Friedman pointed out that trades suitable for both parties are difficult to make due to any number of factors. In that vein, he said that the Rays' approach is to make the process for completing a deal as simple as possible. Plug that statement into Price's situation, and one would surmise that a team could negotiate with him in advance of a trade if doing so makes that trade less complex.
If Price is traded, the Rays would be left with a rotation of Alex Cobb, Matt Moore, Chris Archer, Jeremy Hellickson and Jake Odorizzi, with Alex Colome and Enny Romero providing Minor League depth. Friedman does not see Tampa Bay acquiring a veteran arm, as the club did with Roberto Hernandez prior to last season.
"I like the five that we have, and we like Odorizzi a lot," Friedman said. "I don't know yet how things are going to play out. But we felt with what Jake did last year, both in Triple-A and the experience he got at the Major League level, that he's deserving of a chance to pitch in the Major Leagues."
Friedman noted that the Rays like to be in a situation in which they do not have enough rotation spots for qualified starters.
"It consumes our thoughts on a daily basis of how to maintain that," he said. "How to always be in a position where we always feel good about one through five and, ideally, one through six. And we're at that place right now."
Tampa Bay is also looking for a first baseman. Whether that's bringing back free agent James Loney or someone else, Friedman said the priority is to have one who can hit right-handed pitching, whether he hits left-handed or not.
As far as candidates, Friedman said, "Our job is to figure out, really understand and appreciate the supply/demand and really get a sense of the number of guys who really fit for us."
Friedman added that a player the Rays target might not be the typical player who would be a good fit for other teams.
"And there's certain guys and skill sets and profiles that we like more," he said. "So we have 'X' number of viable candidates, and it's about lining it up and figuring out what the percentage chances are of getting our first target, our second and working down, and just trying to make sure when the music stops that we have a chair and that we're happy with the outcome. And so that's what we're really focused on. And so how we end up doing that, I don't really know right now."
Friedman did allow that the Rays spent more time on Monday talking to other teams about possible trades than to agents about signing their free-agent clients.
"And for the most part, [it's] just a continuation of talks that we were having leading up to the Meetings," Friedman said. "And I feel like some of them have more legs and some less. And some probably aren't as viable. But all of the information that we've gotten thus far is helpful as far as where we go from here."

Main Content
Keffer Collection of SheetMusic
|Keffer Collection of Sheet Music,
ca. 1790-1895
Content and design by John Bewley
The Keffer Collection of Sheet Music at the University of Pennsylvania contains 2,531 scores ranging in date from ca. 1790 to 1895. The great majority of the items were published in the United States and approximately 1,150 items were produced by publishers in Philadelphia. The musical content of the collection consists largely of American popular songs and piano music, but also includes works by famous European composers published in the United States.
American sheet music of the nineteenth century provides a fascinating historical record of contemporary social concerns, issues, events, celebrities, and tastes. This record is further enhanced by the prevalent use of illustrations for title pages, including portraits, landscapes, and scenes of battles or local sites of interest. Many of the most significant American lithographic artists of the nineteenth century provided illustrations for sheet music and a substantial number of their works are included in this collection.
The collection was compiled by Edward Iungerich Keffer, a Philadelphia dentist and noted amateur musician. Dr. Keffer's affection for the city is reflected in the holdings of his collection with its strong representation of the arts in Philadelphia. This component of the collection serves as the nucleus of this site. A list of prominent Philadelphia composers, such as Benjamin Carr, Benjamin Cross, William Henry Fry, Alexander Reinagle, and Septimus Winner, is included, along with brief biographies and images of their music. Historical backgrounds for the music publishing industry and lithography in Philadelphia are also provided, with lists of music publishers and lithographers who worked in the city. The collection also contains items for which Philadelphia served as the subject of either the music or illustration. A separate list has been created of these items.
The Keffer Collection was cataloged in the Research Libraries Information Network, whose
public catalog is known as Eureka, through a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. In
addition, the 2,531 cataloging records have been loaded in the University of Pennsylvania
Library's public catalog known as Franklin.
Note: The illustration used as the logo for this site is a portrait of William Penn, founder of the colony of Pennsylvania, at the signing of the treaty of goodwill signed with the Delaware Indians in 1682. It is taken from the title page of August Loumey's Bicentennial March, 1682-1882, or William Penn's March.
