Colorado Springs cold case: young college student stabbed, body violated 26 years ago
In retrospect, it was such a trivial argument following a happy, yet also very long and exhausting family celebration.
But it would have lasting repercussions for Mary Lynne Renkel Vialpando, her husband and their child.
The argument and Mary's reaction to it, would put her in the path of a rapist and killer in the early morning hours of June 5, 1988 in Old Colorado City in West Colorado Springs.
It was the worst kind of chance.
The day before, Vialpando, 24, and her husband Robert had gone with family to Pueblo for the spring wedding of Robert's brother and sister-in-law.
When the Vialpandos returned home early the next morning and Robert invited his brother and sister inside their house, Mary Lynne was livid.
The home she shared with her husband and 4-year-old daughter was messy.
The young mother had to juggle caring for her daughter and studying for sports medicine classes at Denver Technical University, and Mary Lynne was embarrassed to have company in her home, according to her sister, Cynthia Renkel, who lives in Parker.
Early that morning she dashed outside on foot. She was last seen by her family running away from her home on the 2200 block W. Kiowa St.
It's unclear what she was doing, whether she had any plans to go somewhere in particular or was just running off steam.
The athletic woman was not afraid to venture out that late, not in an area only about four blocks from where she was raised and where everyone who lived there knew each other, Renkel said.
Witnesses later told police that they saw her try to enter the bar Thunder and Buttons, 2415 W. Colorado Ave., but she did not have any money and couldn't pay the cover charge, she said.
She then dashed in and out of Roger's Bar, 2520 W. Colorado Ave., and walked west from the bar onto the north alley between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m., according to Renkel and a Colorado Springs police report.
"She walked through the front door and out the back," Renkel said.
People who live near the alley later told police they heard a woman scream that night.
"Nobody did anything about it," Renkel said.

Stop IDs are now used by the applet instead of stop names, if available. The data engine distinguishes between names and IDs, scripts know whether or not an ID was given and can use different URLs then. For providers with slow web servers the timeouts were fixed. A global timeout of 60 seconds is now used for script execution and asynchronous network requests (synchronous requests are counted as script execution time). Previously there was a global ~10 seconds timeout, making the default timeout for network requests of 30 seconds senseless.
Getting additional data for multiple timetable items at once now works much faster, because all requests get started together, not one after the other.
Besides fixing bugs I did some visual polishing of the applet. All route items now use the same angle for the stop names. The halo drawn behind route stop names is no longer clipped and properly fades out. Removing of city names from route stop names is now also done automatically if the route data was received as additional data. There's now also some more space for the route item.
See the difference:
|Applet in 0.11 alpha 2
|Applet in 0.11 beta
The applet now also shows a link to an HTML version of the route document for HAFAS providers. Links found in JourneyNews strings can now be clicked in the applet to open them in a browser. If there was an error while trying to get the additional data the applet will show it:
|Errors while getting additional data are now shown in the applet
A busy widget gets shown while route data gets requested as additional data.
Another new thing is using snap scrolling from Plasma::ScrollWidget to always stop (kinetic) scrolling at the top of departure items. When expanding a departure item, it is tried to make it completely visible in it's expanded state. And the applet will now only allow one item at a time to be expanded (could be made configurable quite easily, but currently it is not).
TimetableMate also got some fixes, including a fix for a freeze in the background JavaScript parser. The parser now works again, making the script items in the projects dock and the function combobox in script tabs show functions correctly again. Completion was also improved with nicely formatted documentation of the script API. It now shows all function overloads. There is now also a link shown in the completion box to open the documentation in the documentation dock (similar to KDevelop).

Technique: Perfect mountain bike fit
Achieve your ideal bike setup for off-road riding
Getting a bike to fit you perfectly is something you need to work at. We know riders who've ridden for years on what they thought was their perfect bike, with perfect reach, perfect saddle height, perfect handlebar shape, a perfectly set up fork and perfectly inflated tyres.
Then circumstances put a fly in the ointment and they discover that a basic change, perhaps even a few basic changes, to that setup seems to make them ride better. It'll often be something as simple as a different handlebar sweep, different tyre pressures or more suspension fork sag. It's often minor details of bike setup that change the way you ride, and feel about, your bike.
Buy mountain bikes now from: Cyclestore | Evans Cycles | Tredz | Amazon
Tweak your ride setup from time to time, then give yourself a few rides to decide whether you like it or not. There are some things that feel wrong when you first change them, but feel right after a few rides. In the following article we'll lay down the basic guidelines of bike fit, together with variations to consider and the reasoning behind them. Don't think of a bike fit and setup as something that's carved in stone. Use our guidelines as a starting point, then go out and experiment…
Sitting comfortably?
This images below show the key areas that should be adjusted for you to achieve optimum bike fit. The first image shows the incorrect position, while the second image shows how the bike components should be positioned. Good bike position results in relaxed shoulders and slightly bent elbows
- Arms: Good bike position results in relaxed shoulders and slightly bent elbows.
- Saddle: Correct saddle position is essential for balance, control and pedalling efficiency.
- Knees: Having very slightly bent knees at the bottom of each pedal stroke is perfect.
- Frame: Getting the correct frame size is essential, but it's only a starting point for perfect bike setup.
- Shifters and brake levers: Don't just leave them in one position. Experiment with setting them further in on the bars or tilting them.
Although everyone is different – some folks may have longer legs but a shorter torso, while others may have long arms but short legs – starting with the correct-sized frame allows you to further tune the position using stem, bar, seatpost and saddle tweaks.
Frame sizing
Manufacturers' listed frame sizes can be confusing. One of the key considerations is the top tube length. Have a read of our specific mountain bike frame size article for our advice on getting your frame size right.
What really matters is how the bike feels when you sit on it and ride. The first thing you need to do, in the shop or on a demo ride, is set the saddle at the right height.
Saddle height
A rough approximation of saddle height for efficient pedalling is your trouser leg measurement plus 5in from the centre top of the saddle to the centre top of the pedal. To work it out more accurately, with comfort and efficiency in mind, sit squarely on your saddle with the cranks in a straight up/straight down position. The saddle is at the right height when your heel just touches the top of the lower pedal with your leg straight; your crank should be right at the bottom of its stroke.
If you have to tilt to one side on the saddle to achieve this position then the saddle is too high. Place your foot on the pedal in the ready-to-pedal position. If your leg was straight with your heel on the pedal it should be slightly bent at the knee in a pedalling position. You should never feel as if you're being forced to rock your hips from side to side on the saddle while pedalling.
You may need to make adjustments to this position according to confidence and comfort preferences, and depending on what shoes you wear. And keep in mind that this is all based on efficient pedalling for cross-country trail riding. Many riders will choose to set their saddles lower for difficult descents, hence the growing popularity of dropper seatposts for big terrain riding.
Saddle position
As a rule, start with your saddle as level as possible on the top. This is an efficient cross-country position but some riders will prefer a slightly tipped back saddle for tricks, stunts and/or steep downhill work, and a few who prefer the nose of the saddle slightly tipped down for climbing or a more forward-biased ride posture. But dead flat is right for most riders.
Saddle rails have a lot of fore/aft slide adjustment, and not all seatposts are created equal. Some have set-back clamps, others have clamps in line with the top of the post. This has a bearing on the position you're trying to achieve with your saddle. A saddle set too far back can make the bike feel back-heavy, possibly even too light at the front to achieve proper suspension fork compression. A saddle set too far forward can cramp your ride position and make you feel as though you're putting too much body weight on the front of the bike.
In theory, if a bike has exactly the right reach for you and the fork is set up properly, you'll probably end up with the saddle set dead centre on its rails. If you've got long arms for your height you may end up with the saddle set well back: short arms and you'll be looking at inline seatposts and your saddle forward. You can use stem length and handlebar position to fine-tune the way you sit over the bike too.
We've ridden a lot of bikes and discovered a few unusual aspects of bike setup that can help explain why a bike feels wrong for no obvious reason. One relates to saddle position. With your saddle at 'perfect' height, drop a plumb line from the centre of your saddle clamp to your frame's chainstays. With everything set up for general trail riding, the plumb line should intercept the chainstays almost exactly halfway between the bottom bracket axle centre and wheel axle centre. If it's further back you're probably sat too far back. Put your saddle further forward for better balance, and to get the best out of your suspension forks.
Handlebar reach
If you have access to different stem lengths and different shaped handlebars, experiment with different ride positions, adjusting your saddle accordingly. Arm, leg and torso length will vary between riders of the same height and body weight distribution can have a major bearing on setup. A rider with a big belly will demand a different bike setup to a rider with a well distributed muscle mass or a heavy head – strange but true.
A guideline for saddle to handlebar reach is to put the tip of your elbow on the nose of the saddle and see how far your longest finger reaches along the stem; forearm length is generally a good indicator of full arm and torso length. Most riders looking for a fast and efficient trail riding posture will discover that their longest finger reaches to almost exactly halfway between the steerer top and the handlebar centre.
You can fine-tune ride feel from that point by adjusting your seat position, stem length and height, and handlebar type. Some handlebars have a more generous backsweep than others, and you can turn bars in the stem to tune your hold position/wrist angle. We know riders who like their bars straight and others who find a 25-degree backsweep their ideal solution. Keep that elbow tip to finger tip measurement in mind when working out whether a test bike is the right size for you.
Handlebar height
How high you have your bars is a function of steerer height (and the amount of adjustment washers on it), stem height and rise, and handlebar rise. Some riders feel relaxed with their bars at roughly saddle height, others (particularly cross-country racers) have them way below saddle height to achieve a flat backed streamline posture on the bike.
Relative beginners might feel at ease with the bars set higher than the saddle. Bear in mind that you need enough body heft tipped towards the front of the bike to compress your suspension fork when you're riding rough terrain. This becomes harder to achieve if your saddle is too low or your bars too high.
Control positions
Brake levers and gear shifters can be put in different positions on the bar. On most brakes you can adjust lever reach too, and on some you can adjust the point of contact where the brakes compress the pads. We know riders who put up with their thumbs rubbing on their gear shifters for years before realising that setting them half an inch further inboard on the bars solves the problem without making them harder to use.
Bar width can be trimmed too: cutting an inch off either end of a 27in handlebar might make a difference to your ride comfort. Swivelling bars a few degrees back or forth in the stem can also make a difference. Don't be afraid to try something different, but try it for a few rides in order to find the pros and cons of a new setup.
Material benefits
The materials that your bike's components are made from can have some bearing on setup and comfort. Materials, and the way they're used, have the most effect at the major contact points (with the rider and the ground). We're talking about your tyres, your grips, your saddle and your pedals.
Tyres: Tyre compounds, as well as pressures, will affect the way a bike feels on the trail. Cleverly treaded dual compound tyres with a high tpi (threads per inch) carcass construction will generally deform more over rough terrain, and so grip better, without any increase in rolling resistance. Cheaply made tyres tend to grip less and are more prone to losing traction when under pressure, especially in wet conditions.
Grips: Dual compound handlebar grips, or grips made from soft foam, might not be as hardwearing as others but they're far more comfy, absorbing vibration and making you feel more at ease on the bike on rough terrain.
Saddle: The right sort of surface material and the right sort of padding on a saddle is obviously going to make a huge difference to the way you feel about your bike. As a rule, you should be able to move easily on the surface of a saddle; fancy embroidered graphics aren't always conducive to this. And don't assume that more padding is always better. Slimline saddles with minimal padding in just the right places are often more comfy than big bouncy affairs, which will often chafe after a while.
Pedals: The efficiency of your pedal/shoe interface has an impact on how you ride. Stiff soled shoes with inset cleats fixed to clipless pedals will make you a more efficient 'full circles' pedaller. But read instructions carefully when it comes to cleat position because poorly positioned cleats can cause problems, especially with knees. Most riders start with their cleats set dead centre in the shoe recess, but that doesn't feel right for everyone, and some cleats/pedals offer more free float movement than others.
Comfort and control variations
Your tyres, suspension fork and rear shock effectively provide an adjustable cushion between your bike and the ground. Setting them up properly is crucial to your overall control and comfort. Big volume tyres can be run at lower pressures than small volume ones, and big volume tyres with a low knob profile will often roll just as fast as, and offer more comfort and control than, skinny tyres.
A good tyre pressure starting point for average weight riders on typical 2.1in tyres is about 35psi. Careful or lighter riders will often run under 30psi, especially on tubeless tyres where there's no tube to pinch puncture. Heavier, clumsier or harder-hitting riders might prefer 40psi+.
Fork and shock pressures will vary according to make and model, but aim for between a third and a quarter of the available travel as initial sag when you sit on the bike. Also, take some time to learn about your compression and rebound damping controls.
Wrong fit ailments
Aches and pains can be caused by aspects of bike setup, but also by other things, so don't take this list as gospel; it's a rough guide. See your doctor if something is really hurting, especially if it continues to hurt after riding and it's not solved by the adjustments mentioned here. Be aware that a lot of your aches and pains on a bike are simply caused by insufficient muscle support. In other words, you may just need to ride more and do some core muscle training to work things out.
Here are some common ailments and their causes:
Knees: Knee pain when riding can be caused by your saddle being too high or too low, or your shoe cleats being poorly adjusted. Some riders find that a pedal/cleat system with more free float gets rid of knee pain.
Back: Back pain during/after riding will often be related to poor core muscle support so there may not be a quick and easy setup fix. But try changing the position of your handlebars and/or your reach from the saddle to the bars. We know a lot of riders who've solved lower back pain simply by putting the stem up or down by half an inch, or getting a handlebar with more backsweep.
Shoulders/arms/neck: We're putting these three together because it's often similar aspects of set-up that cause aches and pains in these areas, namely too much stress being placed on these bits of your body. This may be caused by being sat too far forward on the bike but it can also be down to sitting too far back, making you curl your shoulders and preventing you holding the bar properly. Experiment with stem height and saddle-to-bar reach. Try different bar shapes: a lot of riders find that more backsweep or upsweep on a bar will make them feel far more comfortable. Also, try anatomically shaped grips, which support your hands better.
Hips: A lot of hip problems among cyclists are caused by the saddle being either too high, too low, tipped too far back or forward or not offering the right sort of padded support.

A Successful Switch from Large Parts Bins to Small Totes
|New conveying systems installed on 200-ton presses at Polaris feature a pair of conveyors (from QC Industries, Batavia, OH), with drives built into the drive-pulley assembly, that work together to deliver parts into small, plastic totes. The top conveyor slides in and out, adjusting to reach several different sizes of tools. To watch a video of the system in operation go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIuwEaQQ9jI.
This new directive meant that press operators could no longer run large numbers of parts into containers and move the containers using lift trucks. Nor could they continue to rely on the press control's batch counter to count press strokes until it reached a preset value, allowing thousands of parts to drop into each container before the counter would stop the press and trigger the operator to change bins and restart the press.
More Bin Changes Tough on Productivity
Switching to the use of small, plastic totes with a specific, small part count per tote created several challenges to the plant. The small bins cannot be placed on the floor, as had the large bins. And, coming off of the presses, the new setup had to ensure that the parts would consistently land in the small totes and not bounce out after a long drop from the bolster. There also were ergonomic issues, as the new system had to avoid requiring operators to bend over to lift totes from the floor.
Also of concern was accuracy of the part count, since the previous end-of-line method monitored press strokes and assumed that each stroke created a part. When filling huge bins, if the count was short by one or two parts, assembly operations hardly noticed. However, with new, smaller quantities specified, part count has to be dead-on, or problems will result downstream.
Press uptime, in lieu of added bin changes, posed another significant problem in designing a new end-of-line system. Previously, presses would stop when a parts bin was filled. A press running at 60 strokes/min., for example, would operate for 66 min. to fill a bin with 4000 parts. It might take the operator 10 min. to first notice that the press had stopped, signal a lift-truck driver, then move the full bin and replace it with an empty bin, and finally restart the press. That equates to a press uptime of 87 percent.
Switching to batch sizes of just 200, at 60 strokes/min. the small parts tote fills in just 200 sec. Assuming that an operator needs 1 min. to remove and replace the filled tote and restart the press, uptime falls to 77 percent. Bad enough, but at a batch size of 25, press uptime drops even more. Even if we assume that the operator never leaves the bins during the run, and reducing the time to move and restart the press to 20 sec., the result is 25 uptime seconds out of 55, for an uptime of only 45 percent.
These examples are, if anything, terribly optimistic. The time required to restart the presses presume that the operator is constantly available to restart the press and never is distracted. If the operator must constantly attend the press, he cannot tend to other chores—part inspections, paperwork, coil staging, etc., all jobs Polaris operators perform when presses run larger batch sizes.
The Solution: An Automated Conveying System
Making the move to small-batch production with plastic totes, any reduction of press uptime was deemed unacceptable by the Polaris engineering staff. Automating tote changes became the goal, and Polaris process-improvement technician Randy Osborne turned to equipment supplier TCR Integrated Stamping Systems, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, to provide a solution. TCR developed a conveyor system to count actual parts as they enter the bins, and automatically exchange full bins for empty bins without stopping the press. Several empty bins are prestaged, giving operators time to tend to other duties without interrupting production.
The conveying system developed by TCR can be used with any of several prepared presses at Polaris, regardless of passline height. It can handle three different bin sizes, and stamped parts no longer fall from a great height, eliminating concerns about finished parts bouncing out of the totes. And, ergonomic concerns were addressed as well, as full bins discharge onto a gravity conveyor at a comfortable work height.
Two Conveyors,
with Part Sensors
Each of the three new conveyor systems at Polaris provides an operator touchscreen control interface loaded with valuable production information. Messages highlighted in blue display only when the described fault condition occurs.
Two conveyors work together to reach into the die—an upper conveyor extends out to reach smaller tools, and can be retracted to adjust for longer dies. Sensors count actual parts as they enter the tote. Empty strokes counted during coil threading, or parts that fail to properly land on the exit conveyor, do not create an error in the parts counter.
Four empty bins are staged so the press can run untended, based on the number of parts per bin. The configuration allows Polaris, in the future, to add an automatic empty-bin loader and longer cue for the full bins, to allow more prolonged operation without operator tending.
Sensors monitor the locations of empty and full bins, and the control software ensures that faults—such as no empty bin available or no place to put the next full container—will trigger the conveyor system and the press to stop.
A quick-disconnect cord allows the conveyor system to be quickly connected to any of the prepared presses. Casters allow an operator to easily move the system press to press without the use of a lift truck. The controller's touchscreen interface employs simple commands for system setup, with screen prompts to assist with operation and troubleshooting.
Three Systems Installed
TCR produced three of the automated bin-changing systems for Polaris, all of which were installed earlier this year on 200-ton coil-fed presses—two gap-frame presses and one straightside—including Polaris' construction of new guarding. Positive results were immediately realized.
Conveyor-system controls proved easy to use and understand. On the very first production run, a Polaris press operator ran three complete coils with 100 parts/bin without stopping production for bin changes. This provided plenty of time between press-tending responsibilities for the operator to perform other duties while the press ran—staging new coils on the coil car, handling required paperwork for shipping, and inspect parts as required. In fact, the plant realized an unexpected benefit regarding visual inspections. A Polaris operator noted that its standard sampling rate required a visual inspection of one part/hr., but, he said, "Because I did not have to constantly move bins and restart, I found that I was inspecting one part in every bin. This helps me catch problems more quickly, and reduce scrap and rework."
Adds manufacturing supervisor Ehric Gullickson, "These systems will increase our press uptime while freeing up our operators to perform other duties."
Stampers face new challenges every day, and innovative companies find s to improve their bottom line and keep manufacturing strong in the face of global competition. MF

Brandy Norwood is still in her early 30's, but she's been a superstar since she was 15 years old. The teenage singer/actress became both a platinum recording artist and a popular TV star with her sitcom "Moesha." While things looked great to the outside world, Brandy now says the pressures of stardom at such a young age made her unhappy. Thankfully, she has a lot to be happy about these days. After appearances on several reality shows, and a hearfelt "Behind the Music" profile, Brandy has rebooted her once-flagging career. There's a new love, a new album and after some setbacks and tragedies, the single mother has regrouped and seems to have put the past behind her. Her latest CD "Two Eleven" is due out on October 16.th. Here's more on Brandy.
BORN: Brandy Rayana Norwood in McComb, Mississippi
BIG BREAK: Being cast on the short-lived sitcom "Thea" in 1993
BACK STORY: Singer/actress Whitney Houston was Brandy's idol growing up. The young singer dreamed of the day they would meet and eventually, not only did they meet, the two worked together on the 1997 TV movie version of the fairy tale "Cinderella." Of course, Houston would play Brandy/Cinderella's fairy godmother. Sadly, Houston died on February 11th this year – Brandy's birthday.
RESUME: Brandy has sold over 30 million CD's worldwide and has won over 100 awards, including a Grammy, two Soul Train Music Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, an American Music Award, six Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, three BMI Awards and two Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
FUN FACTS: An 18-year-old Kobe Bryant invited Brandy to his high school prom, which they attended together. However, Brandy has admitted that the budding romance was derailed by Brandy's then-relationship with Boyz II Men singer Wanya Morris.
LATEST WORK: "Two Eleven" out October 16th on RCA/Chameleon Records

"Put It Down" (featuring Chris Brown)
"The Boy Is Mine (with Monica)
"I Want To Be Down" (remix with MC Lyte, Yo Yo and Queen Latifah)
"This album is a lot more mature than my past work, but very much rooted in R&B. With this album I wanted to have a purpose and that purpose was to contribute to the genre of R&B. So many people are missing that music that touches the soul. So many of us are doing different things with music and that's ok, but for me that's where I come from. I just wanted to help bring that back to the forefront and stay true to who I am." Thatgrapejuice.net (2012)
"He's misunderstood. Its one thing to have this image of [a ladies' man], but it's another to become this other type of person that they're trying to make my brother out to be. I know who he is. This is a man who loves his mama and his sister and his niece. Ray J loved Kim Kardashian. They were irresponsible with their–you know–but he loved her. For five years, he was with her. In his mind and in the world's mind, he was in my shadow for such a long time.
To watch his sister become whatever I became and to not have that same path or that same way it happened for me; to be called 'Brandy's brother…' To finally break out of it, you're going to brag; you're going to feel something about yourself. It's not coming from a bad place, and I can tell you: Some of the shoes Ray J's walking in, you'd take off immediately. You wouldn't be able to handle the type of shoes he's in." Ebony Magazine (2012)
"My whole life and behavior and how I am with my career, is my tribute to her. For some reason I just feel like…I don't want to say she passed the torch, because clearly my voice isn't as strong as Whitney's and only she could do what she could do. But to pass on my birthday I feel like she passed something to me to continue to do because she's not here anymore. So I just want to do that, whatever that thing is. I know I can't come close to her, so I'm not saying that at all but I'm going to try my hardest to live out something that she would do if she was still here." Urbanbridgez.com (2012)

Of course the best part of the cooking class was the actual cooking! It was kind of a challenge to get good pictures because it was a little dark in the kitchen…but here are the highlights!
Stir in some Tom Yam paste (which is made from chiles, lemongrass, cilantro, sugar, lime leaves, and galangal). You can make the past or buy it pre-made in a jar.
That's all it takes for basic tom yam. You can also stir in just a tablespoon of coconut milk, and it changes it into a creamier, heartier soup.
Next, we made vegetable stir fry with cashews. It was just a basic vegetable stir fry, flavored with a little sugar, golden mountain sauce, and soy sauce, and we added toasted cashews at the end.
Massaman curry is my absolute favorite. It has red curry paste and curry powder, so it's a fusion of Thai and Indian flavors. It's often made with beef and potatoes, but since this was a vegetarian class, we just used the potatoes and some tofu.
We made a lot of food and took a lot of notes!
Green curry with sweet potato. This steamed up my camera lens!
Fresh spring rolls. I love these! The wrappers were basically huge squares of noodles – just not cut up. They were much easier to work with than the dry wrappers I usually get. We also made a fabulous peanut sauce to dip these in (with coconut milk, red curry paste, tomatoes, and ground peanuts – it was some of the best peanut sauce I've ever had, and I've tried MANY recipes!)
My beloved Som Tham! First, you crush up some garlic, fresh hot chiles, peanuts, lime juice, and sugar in this HUGE mortar and pestle.
Then you add some pieces of long bean and slices of tomato and pound some more.
Finally, you add shredded carrot and shredded green papaya, stir it all up, put it on a plate, and top with peanuts!
I am VERY excited to make some of these dishes in my own kitchen, whenever I end up living in a place that has one!

In the previous Lillet Post, Kina Lillet, 2012, we talked a bit about David Embury.
His two quotes which contributed to the discussion were as follows:
"My own favorite French vermouth today is Lillet (pronounced lee'lay) made by Lillet Freres of Podensac, France. Do not confuse it with the Lillet aperitif made by the same company and originally sold under the name of Kina Lillet."
"In commenting on Lillet vermouth, I warned not to confuse this brand of vermouth with the aperitif wine, originally known as Kina Lillet but now called simply Lillet. If, by accident, you get a bottle of the wine instead of the vermouth, what do you do with it? Well, here are a few of the old-time recipes using Kina Lillet. I definitely do not recommend any of them."
It now appears that the Lillet company DID produce a vermouth during the middle part of the 20th Century.
Frogprincesse, again, in the eGullet.org forums:
Page 207 it explains that, at some point after 1945, there was indeed another type of Lillet, "Lillet dry type canadien" at 18°. The bottle had a green label similar to Martini extra dry. It was an aperitif based on French vermouths such as Noilly Prat. So clearly David Embury was referring to this French vermouth-style Lillet in the Fine Art of Mixing Drinks (1948).
So, what does that mean?
Well, first, and most practical, if there are any recipes where Embury calls for Lillet other than in those "old-time recipes", you should instead use Noilly Prat vermouth.
On the other hand, it means those comments from Embury are of no consequence regarding any inferences about the nature of Kina Lillet, Lillet Blanc, or Lillet in the US before prohibition, the UK during prohibition, or the US after prohibition.
However, the main question remains:
What version of Lillet would have been available in America before prohibition and in England during prohibition? And, ultimately, does the current product reflect the Lillet that might have been available at either of those times?

WASHINGTON — If President Obama tuned in to the past week's bracing debate on Capitol Hill about terrorism, executive power, secrecy and due process, he might have recognized the arguments his critics were making: He once made some of them himself.
Four years into his tenure, the onetime critic of President George W. Bush finds himself cast as a present-day Mr. Bush, justifying the muscular application of force in the defense of the nation while detractors complain that he has sacrificed the country's core values in the name of security.
The debate is not an exact parallel to those of the Bush era, and Mr. Obama can point to ways he has tried to exorcise what he sees as the excesses of the last administration. But in broad terms, the conversation generated by the confirmation hearing of John O. Brennan, his nominee for C.I.A. director, underscored the degree to which Mr. Obama has embraced some of Mr. Bush's approach to counterterrorism, right down to a secret legal memo authorizing presidential action unfettered by outside forces.
At the same time, a separate hearing in Congress revealed how far Mr. Obama has gone to avoid what he sees as Mr. Bush's central mistake. Testimony indicated that the president had overruled his secretaries of state and defense and his military commanders when they advised arming rebels in Syria.
With troops only recently home from Iraq, Mr. Obama made clear that he was so intent on staying out of another war against a Middle East tyrant that he did not want to be involved even by proxy, especially if the proxies might be questionable.
Critics on the left saw abuse of power, and critics on the right saw passivity.
The confluence of these debates suggests the ways Mr. Obama is willing to emulate Mr. Bush and the ways he is not. In effect, Mr. Obama relies on his predecessor's aggressive approach in one area to avoid Mr. Bush's even more aggressive approach in others. By emphasizing drone strikes, Mr. Obama need not bother with the tricky issues of detention and interrogation because terrorists tracked down on his watch are generally incinerated from the sky, not captured and questioned. By dispensing with concerns about due process, he avoids a more traditional war that he fears could lead to American boots on the ground.
"I'd argue the shift to more targeted action against A. Q. has been a hallmark of Obama's approach against terrorism, whereas Iraq was Bush's signature decision in his global war on terror," said Benjamin J. Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser to Mr. Obama, using the initials for Al Qaeda.
The Brennan hearing highlighted the convoluted politics of terrorism. Conservatives complained that if Mr. Bush had done what Mr. Obama has done, he would have been eviscerated by liberals and the news media. But perhaps more than ever before in Mr. Obama's tenure, liberals voiced sustained grievance over the president's choices.
"That memo coming out, I think, was a wake-up call," said Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union. "These last few days, it was like being back in the Bush days."
"It's causing a lot of cognitive dissonance for a lot of people," he added. "It's not the President Obama they thought they knew."
The dissonance is due in part to the fact that Mr. Obama ran in 2008 against Mr. Bush's first-term policies but, after winning, inherited Mr. Bush's second-term policies.
By the time Mr. Bush left office, he had shaved off some of the more controversial edges of his counterterrorism program, both because of pressure from Congress and the courts and because he wanted to leave behind policies that would endure. He had closed the secret C.I.A. prisons, obtained Congressional approval for warrantless surveillance and military commissions, and worked to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
So while Mr. Obama banned harsh interrogation techniques, he preserved much of what he inherited, with some additional safeguards; expanded Mr. Bush's drone campaign; and kept on veterans of the antiterrorism wars like Mr. Brennan. Some efforts at change were thwarted, like his vow to close the Guantánamo prison and to try Sept. 11 plotters in civilian court.
"These are the same issues we've been grappling with for years that are uncomfortable given our legal structures and the nature of the threat, but the Obama team is addressing these issues the same way we did," said Juan Carlos Zarate, who was Mr. Bush's deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism.
Peter D. Feaver, a Duke University professor and former Bush national security aide, said Mr. Obama "believed the cartoon version of the Bush critique so that Bush wasn't just trying to make tough calls how to protect America in conditions of uncertainty, Bush actually was trying to grab power for nefarious purposes."
"So even though what I, Obama, am doing resembles what Bush did, I'm doing it for other purposes," Mr. Feaver added.
Others said that oversimplified the situation and ignored modifications that Mr. Obama had enacted. "It is a vast overstatement to suggest that President Obama is channeling President Bush," said Geoffrey R. Stone, a University of Chicago law professor who hired a young Mr. Obama to lecture there. "On almost every measure, Obama has been more careful, more restrained and more respectful of individual liberties than President Bush was."
"On the other hand," Mr. Stone added, "at least in his use of drones, President Obama has legitimately opened himself up to criticism for striking the wrong balance" between civil liberties and national security.
Particularly stark has been the secret memo authorizing the targeted killing of American citizens deemed terrorists under certain circumstances without judicial review, a memo that brought back memories of those in which John Yoo, a Justice Department official under Mr. Bush, declared harsh interrogation legal.
That broad assertion of power, even with limits described by administration officials, combined with the initial White House refusal to release even a sanitized summary of the memo touched off protests from left and right. Some called Mr. Obama a hypocrite. But Mr. Yoo himself saw it differently, arguing in The Wall Street Journal that the memo, whatever the surface similarities to his own, betrayed a flawed vision because it presented the issue in law enforcement terms rather than as an exercise of war powers.
Michael V. Hayden, the C.I.A. director under Mr. Bush, said that if Mr. Obama learned one thing from experience it should be that controversial programs require public support to be sustained. "Err on the side of being open, at least with Congress," he said. "Otherwise you're going to find yourself in a politically vulnerable position."
For four years, Mr. Obama has benefited at least in part from the reluctance of Mr. Bush's most virulent critics to criticize a Democratic president. Some liberals acknowledged in recent days that they were willing to accept policies they once would have deplored as long as they were in Mr. Obama's hands, not Mr. Bush's.
"We trust the president," former Gov. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan said on Current TV. "And if this was Bush, I think that we would all be more up in arms because we wouldn't trust that he would strike in a very targeted way and try to minimize damage rather than contain collateral damage."
But some national security specialists said questions about the limits of executive power to conduct war should not depend on the person in the Oval Office.
"That's not how we make policy," said Douglas Ollivant, a former national security aide under Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama and now a fellow at the New America Foundation. "We make policy assuming that people in power might abuse it. To do otherwise is foolish."

October 25, 2010 | DAVIDSON, NC – WDAV Classical Public Radio today announced the launch of the pilot phase of Concierto, the first nationally available Spanish-English classical music service in America. The 2-hour pilot show can be heard every Saturday at 10 PM on WDAV in the Charlotte region and on KPBS in San Diego, CA. NPRMusic.org has agreed to help promote the show and will soon add Concierto to its popular stream, The Mix. In addition, WDAV has launched a continuous stream of Concierto programs on its HD-2 channel and online at concierto.org.
The Concierto pilot phase, funded in part by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, will test the concept in a small number of key markets with significant Spanish-speaking populations. WDAV will use pilot-phase data to launch a nationally syndicated 24/7 Spanish-language classical music service in late 2011.
Explains WDAV General Manager Benjamin K. Roe, "Census estimates now put the Latino population of the United States at 46.9 million, or 15% of the total population. Among this group, the appetite for classical music is significant: a 2008 NEA survey shows that 7.6% of U.S. Hispanics identify classical as their favorite form of music, and they are increasing their participation in the arts. But out of 838 Spanish‐language U.S. radio stations, there is not a single program or service that broadcasts classical music in Spanish. We want to do something about that."
While the show's programming centers on the core classical music repertoire, it pays special attention to the contributions of Latin-American and Spanish composers and performers to the art form. Every hour of Concierto features at least one Spanish-heritage performer and/or composer, be it conductor Gustavo Dudamel, guitarist Manuel Barrueco, or Mexican composer Carlos Chavez.
Concierto is hosted by WDAV Program Director Frank Dominguez, who is Cuban-American and fluent in Spanish and English. "With Concierto, we are creating a perfect entryway to classical music for Latinos in America," says Mr. Dominguez. "Whether they are 'Spanish-dominant' or proudly bilingual, listeners tell me they are pleasantly surprised to hear me speak in their native language. Plus, Hispanic culture is more diverse than meringue and mariachi! Classical music has strong, deep roots in all the Americas, and Concierto's programming reflects that diversity. This is truly international music."
About WDAV Classical Public Radio
WDAV is one of America's leading producers of original classical-music programming. In addition to producing 140 hours per week for its own broadcast use on its HD-1, HD-2, and wdav.org channels, the station produces nationally-distributed programs, including NPR World of Opera, Radio Chopin, Concierto, A Carolina Christmas with Kathy Mattea, and, in partnership with ETV Radio of South Carolina, Carolina Live and Spoleto Chamber Music. A service of Davidson College in Davidson, NC, WDAV's 89.9FM signal reaches a 22-county region centered in the Charlotte, NC metro area and ranging from Rock Hill, SC to Galax, VA. WDAV's broadcasts can be heard live online 24 hours a day at wdav.org and iTunes, as well as on any iPhone or iPad equipped with the Public Radio Player and NPRMusic apps.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Real Salt Lake
are getting pretty comfortable with the confines of Buck Shaw Stadium.
For the second time in less than three weeks, the MLS defending champions came into the Earthquakes' home stadium and walked away winners—although this time it required penalty kicks.
RSL nailed all five of their attempts to complete a 4-3 victory over San Jose, which could not overcome a PK miss by its first shooter, Arturo Alvarez.
Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Robbie Findley, Robbie Russell and Andy Williams all scored during the shootout for RSL. Joey Gjertsen, Brandon McDonald and Ramon Sanchez converted for San Jose.
Real Salt Lake will face either FC Dallas or D.C. United next month, with the winner of that match earning a berth in the full U.S. Open Cup field.
Following on the heels of a 3-0 win in their MLS opener, RSL looked as though it would easily overpower the Earthquakes for a second time.
Just 7 minutes in, a botched pass in the Quakes' defensive third—Chris Leitch was trying to lay the ball back to Bobby Burling—afforded RSL forward Robbie Findley a one-on-one chance with goalkeeper Jon Busch, who was making his debut in San Jose's goal. Busch charged out but had no chance as Findley easily slotted the ball home.
The Quakes almost pulled even in the 27th minute when Joey Gjertsen collected a rare RSL turnover in the midfield and turned it into a 2-on-2 breakaway. Gjertsen went wide to maneuver clear of RSL defender Nat Borchers and fired a 15-yard shot that eluded goalkeeper Kyle Reynish, only to bounce off the far post. Tony Beltran cleared the rebound for RSL.
The visitors appeared to put the game nearly out of reach in the 60th minute when 21-year-old Nelson Gonzalez scored on a 25-yard free kick for his first goal in an RSL uniform and a 2-0 lead.
But Leitch redeemed himself in the 68th minute, driving forward into the penalty box, cutting decisively inside and driving home a 12-yard shot to the far post with his left foot.
San Jose forced overtime with an 88th-minute strike from Alvarez, who turned on a pass from Ramiro Corrales and beat Reynish to the far post.
Rookie Justin Morrow made it three consecutive San Jose goals when he converted a short through ball from Alvarez in the 103rd minute. But Borchers tied things up three minutes from time when he headed home a cross from Russell.
RSL -- Robbie Findley, 7th minute; Nelson Gonzalez, 60th minute; Nat Borchers (Robbie Russell), 117th minute
SJ -- Chris Leitch, 68th minute; Arturo Alvarez (Ramiro Corrales), 88th minute; Justin Morrow (Arturo Alvarez), 103rd minute
Penalty Kicks (RSL wins 5-3)
RSL --Johnson (goal),Beckerman (goal), Findley (goal), Russell (goal), Williams (goal)
SJ -- Alvarez (wide right), Gjertsen (goal), McDonald (goal), Sanchez (goal)
RSL -- Will Johnson (caution), 8th minute; Kyle Beckerman (caution), 88th minute
SJ -- Steve Beitashour (caution), 51st minute; Bobby Burling (caution), 108th minute
Real Salt Lake: Reynish; Beltran, Borchers, McKenzie, Wingert (Russell 31); Johnson, Warner (Beckerman 69), Alexandre, Gonzalez (Williams 61); Findley, Saborio (Espindola 80)
San Jose: Busch; Leitch, Burling, McDonald, Corrales, Robles (Alvarez 61), Sanchez, Wondolowski (Eduardo 61, Jasseh 74), Morrow; Glen (Beitashour 13), Gjertsen

6 startups that fell into Google's "black hole"
Click to viewDigg users should be glad merger talks with Google have cooled, writes Slate's Farhad Manjoo. Had Digg fallen into Marissa Mayer's frosting-laced clutches, the site would have probably become another startup lost in what Manjoo calls "the Google Black Hole." It happened to FeedBurner this week. And the RSS ad network, was just the latest, following Jaiku, JotSpot, Dodgeball, GrandCentral, and Measure Map. Their tales of doom in the Googleplex, below.
Acquired in October 2007, Twitter rival Jaiku still doesn't accept new users. Its current ones complain of system slowdowns and malfunctions. On May 30, 2008, founder Jyri Engeström wrote:
Contrary to some voices out there, we DO have plans for future development and we will involve our developer community as much as we can. Just to reiterate, we are working very hard to ensure you have a useful and usable service. We feel the short term pain, too.
Acquired in October 2006, JotSpot is Google Sites now, and according to longtime users, it's not what it used to be.
Purchased in 2005, it took Google six months to assign any new engineers to the project. The founders quit in 2007, and one, Dennis Crowley, will tell any entreprenuer who will listen to reject Google's siren song.
Google acquired GrandCentral, which provides a suite of telephony services, in July 2007, immediately closed it to new users and hasn't opened it since.
Google acquired Measure Map in 2006, hoping to incorporate its features into Google Analytics. "And we did that," reports Google VP David Lawee. Too bad for bloggers who missed Measure Map's blog-specific features and don't use Google's Blogger.
