DICE Welcomes Players to Battlefield V, Details Battle Royale Mode
By Kevin Dunsmore on September 4, 2018
EA and DICE today released a new trailer detailing all the major content available at launch for Battlefield V, including the Battle Royale mode.
Battlefield V many not launch for another two months, but DICE are putting all their cards on the table early. Today, the developer released in-depth details about all the content Battlefield V launches with on November 20. In addition to improvements like player movement, dynamic destruction, and fortifications, Battlefield V offers players plenty of new content to enjoy.
Players can choose from a large selection of game modes at launch. These include classic modes like Conquest, Team Deathmatch, Frontlines, and Domination accompanied by new modes Breakthrough, Airborne, and Final Stand. Finally, there's the controversial Conquest Assault, which was introduced in Battlefield 1. Rounding out the games modes is Grand Operations, a multi-stage game mode that takes players through the largest campaigns of the war.
These modes will be fought across eight maps at launch. Participate in one of the biggest tank battles in North Africa, survive the freezing landscapes of Norway, fight in the packed streets of Rotterdam, and battle across the French countryside.
DICE also provided the first details about Battlefield V's Battle Royale mode. Titled Firestorm, the mode splits 64 players into 16 teams of four. Each squad must work together to be the last squad standing. Several Battlefield features are present in Firestorm, including a large array of weaponry, vehicles and destructible buildings.
Single player War Stories return. These bite-sized vignettes follow unlikely heroes as they tackle the effects of the war. At launch, players can enjoy four War Stories; Prologue, Nordlys, Tiralleur, and Under No Flag. A fifth, The Last Tiger, arrives after launch.
Finally, there's Tides of War, Battlefield V's free post-launch content plan. Tides of War takes players on a journey through World War II, adding new maps, weapons, and gadgets. The first chapter, Fall of Europe, comes after launch and follows the fall of France. The second chapter, which launches early 2019, focuses on Greece.
Battlefield V is out November 20 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The open beta kicks off today for those who pre-ordered the game, and September 6 for everyone.

Introduction to EC2
Hands-On Lab
Christophe Limpalair
VP of Growth in Marketing
AWS EC2 is one of the core services of the AWS ecosystem that you absolutely must know to be successful in a cloud-related career. Even if your app doesn't run on EC2, utilizing EC2 instances for development and to perform other tasks is critical to a well-architected AWS solution. In this learning activity, we are going to create an EC2 instance, create and customize a security group to allow access, and createa key pair in order to ensure our access is secure.
Take Hands-On Lab
What are Hands-On Labs?
Hands-On Labs are scenario-based learning environments where learners can practice without consequences. Don't compromise a system or waste money on expensive downloads. Practice real-world skills without the real-world risk, no assembly required.
Viewing EBS Volumes
Viewing Security Groups
Viewing Key Pairs
In this lab, we will cover the following objectives:
Create an EC2 instance
Understand instance types and select a t2.micro instance
Create and customize a security group
Create a key pair to SSH into the instance
Before we begin, make sure you are in the N. Virginia region. You can find your current region in the top right of the page (beside the "Support" link in the navigation bar). If you are in a different region, click on it and choose N. Virginia. This is required for the lab environment to function properly.
Launch a New Instance
The written portion of the this lab provides the steps necessary to complete it. Watch the video guide for detailed instruction.
Navigate to EC2 Dashboard by clicking the Services dropdown menu from the navigation bar at the top of the AWS website. Click EC2 under the Compute section to launch the EC2 Dashboard.
Use the Launch Instance button to create a new instance.
Select the Amazon Linux AMI at the top of the list (if you don't see it immediately, click the Quick Start tab on the left).
Leave the default selection of t2.micro Instance Type and click the Next: Configure Instance Details button in the bottom right.
Take note of the Network and Subnet settings, but they should remain unchanged for this lab. Ensure the Auto-assign Public IP setting is set to Enable. All other settings can remain unchanged. Once you've verified these details, click the Next: Add Storage button in the bottom right.
This page will allow us to automatically provision additional Elastic Block Storage volumes and connect them to our EC2 instance, which we could use to configure additional storage. Check the Elastic Block Storage section later in this written guide for more information. For this lab, we can leave the defaults and click the Next: Add Tags button in the bottom right.
We can use the default entry with the "Name" key to give our instance a fitting name. Given the nature of this lab in particular, "learning-ec2" seems to be an appropriate name. In the "Value" column, type the name learning-ec2. Click the Next: Configure Security Group button in the bottom right.
Near the top of the page, you should see the Assign a security group label that lets us choose to create a new security group or select an existing one. For this lab, we will want the Create a new security group option. Since an SSH rule is included by default, we can move on. (Note: In practice, it is safer to restrict the Source setting. The default setting allows all sources.)
Click the Review and Launch button in the bottom right.
Review the settings and click the Launch button in the bottom right. We will receive a prompt about a key pair.
Choose to Create a new key pair and type in a Key pair name of first-instance.
Use the Download button and save the file to your Downloads directory.
Finally, click the Launch Instances button to instruct AWS to launch an instance with the setting's we've defined. Once you see it, click the View Instances button.
Our new instance is now launching. We need to wait for it to be in a State of running and the Status checks need to show 2/2. This may take a few moments, so let's take a quick look around AWS.
Useful Sections to Notice
Let's start by taking a look at the Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume being created. You may remember it being mentioned earlier in the lab when configuring our instance. This is where you can see a list of all volumes associated to your account and current region.
Navigate to the EBS Volumes dashboard. In navigation list in the left side of the page, click the Volumes link under the Elastic Block Store label.
If you have multiple instances and/or multiple volumes per instances, you will see them all listed here (notice that you can see the one that was created for our new instance). You can also use this dashboard to view information about the volume, including which instance a volume belongs to.
Check out the Security Groups dashboard of AWS. This dashboard allows us to view and edit the security groups associated with your account and current region.
Click the Security Groups link under the Network & Security label in the navigation list on the left side of the page.
You can select a group from the list and change its inbound/outbound rules, etc, in the pane at the bottom of the list. There's no need to change anything for this guide, but this dashboard will come in handy down the road.
Let's also take a look at the Key Pairs dashboard.
Click the Key Pairs link under the Network & Security label in the navigation list on the left side of the page.
This dashboard gives you the ability to manage key pairs for your EC2 instances. A key pair can be associated to either a single instance or multiple instances. You can create and delete them from here.
Connect to the Instance with SSH
Now that our new instance has had a little time to start running, let's go check to see if it's ready to connect. Let's go back to the list of instances on AWS.
Click the Instances link from the list on the left side of the page).
Keep in mind that instance should show running as its Instance State, and 2/2 checks... as its Status Checks before we should connect via SSH. If your instance isn't ready yet, wait a few moments before continuing. Once it's ready:
Ensure only the learning-ec2 instance is selected, then click the Connect button above the list to view connection details.
Copy the "Example" command near the bottom and open a terminal window.
Navigate your terminal to the directory containing the key pair you we downloaded earlier. If you followed along, yours will be in your Downloads folder. Run the cd ~/Downloads command to point terminal there.
To ensure the key pair is not publicly viewable, change its permissions by running the chmod 400 first-instance.pem command.
Paste the command you copied from AWS a moment ago and run it. You will be asked to accept the finger print, then you will be logged into your instance.
From here, you can install software, modify settings, etc.
Congratulations! You just created a new EC2 Instance with AWS and logged into it remotely using SSH!

David Marlin » Ever wondered what happens when a horse brushes or over-reaches?
The most common item of protection used on horses are boots on the lower leg. Despite this and the fact that lower leg injuries are the most common injury sustained by horses there is surprisingly still no standard that manufacturers have to meet, in contrast to standards for headgear and body protectors for riders. These show boots being tested and an example of how much damage even a light glancing blow can do to the lower leg. CLICK HERE to view the videos.

Choral/Chamber works
Notes on the Music
Bach: Prelude & Allegro, BWV 998
Due to time constraints on this lunchtime program, I am leaving out the Fugue normally heard between these two movements. (I recall Christopher Parkening doing the same thing on his debut album, if that makes it any better). Taken as a whole, BWV 998 may be considered a sacred work, in spite of having no text, by virtue of its motivic references to texted works—such at the St Matthew Passion. It has been put forth by Anne Leahy (in the Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland) that the three movements represent the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in that order.
[tuning: A1-D2-E2-A2-D3-F#3-B3-E4]
Chopin: Prelude No. 15 from Op 28
This piece was nicknamed "The raindrop" Prelude due to its incessant repeated eighth-note—mostly on A-flat (an E in this transcription)—along with the fact that, when these preludes were composed, Chopin and George Sand were reported to have been staying a cabin on Mallorca where it was raining a lot and the roof leaked. Although this device continues at the same tempo throughout, for the middle section in the relative minor the mood grows significantly darker.
[tuning, with capo across 7 strings: A1-E2-F#2-B2-E3-G#3-C#4-F#4]
Steele: Pavana Heróica
This piece was originally written 4-5 years ago on the 6-string guitar and named for community organizer, anti-nuclear activist, and friend, Father Bix (William Bichsel, S.J.). In adapting it to 8-string earlier this year, I used it to accompany slides for a presentation about the life of El Salvador's Archbishop Romero and re-named it accordingly. I have since come to view the piece as being more about heroism than one particular hero, and therefore given it this generic title. The Pavana was a courtly dance in the Renaissance, whose rhythm is invoked for the opening theme. Tonal instability reflects deliberation over how to combat injustice. Sforzando chords battering the opening theme's return represent the violent response to a non-violent protest. In the midst of the tremolo section, the tonality settles into A minor and remains stable there through the end—reflecting the hero having discerned true sense of purpose and mustered the strength to act on it.The piece is offered as a prayer that we each may find that within ourselves.
[tuning: A1-D2-E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4]
Chopin: Prelude No. 4 from Op 28
The two Chopin preludes are separated by my piece so that string tunings are altered more gradually. This iconic 25-bar miniature retains its original key of E minor. What follows is my "emotional analysis," or dramatization, of its bold harmonic progression.
[tuning: B1-D2-E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4]
Sagreras: Three Studies
Sagreras was a performer and pedagogue of classical guitar, living in Argentina. I have extended the bass notes downward to capitalize the assets of the 8-string. The pieces form an ad hoc suite with the above prelude, sharing the key of E minor. The final study, though, starts and ends in E major—offering a light ending to this fairly serious set.
[tuning same as above]

We're over half-way through National Grilling Month and over half-way through the winegrowing season. The winegrapes begin to change color (aka veraison) and warm sunny days transition into the most beautiful evenings.
This means we've been spending more time outside enjoying shared big plates of grilled goodies, pies, lots of laughs and, of course, Dry Creek Valley wine. For week 3 of National Grilling Month, we've got the perfect recipe from Ridge Winery for your next al fresco meal.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, coriander, lavender, chile flakes, and pepper. Add lamb and mix to coat thoroughly.
Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
Thread cubes of lamb alternately with grapes onto 6 or 7 skewers.
Lay skewers over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds). If using a gas grill, close the lid.
Cook, turning skewers as needed, until lamb is browned on all sides but still pink in the center (medium-rare: 5 to 6 minutes), or just barely pink in the center (medium: 6 to 7 minutes).
Pair with Bold, full-bodied zinfandels. Try it with Lytton Springs (excellent with older vintages too).
Why this pairing works: Ridge Lytton Springs is an incredibly balanced wine that will please all of your guests. It has the rich, brambly fruit flavors you'd expect from a wine that's 74% zinfandel but also structured tannins and balanced acid – making it a perfect complement to the spices like thyme and lavender in this grilled dish. If you choose a vintage that has been in the bottle for a few years, you'll find more complexity and a softer style of red blend. Check out Ridge's website for more pairings specially crafted to pair with their variety of wines.
Did you try any of these recipes? We can't wait to see!

The celebration continues as we feature weekly grilling recipes from your favorite Dry Creek Valley wineries and wines.
For week 2, we're featuring Amista's Strip Steak with Arugula Pesto & Pedroncelli's Grilled Sausage with Fennel, Red Onion and Basil Gremolada. What's the first pairing that comes to your mind? Keep reading and find out what each winery chose to pair with these grilled delicacies.
Heat the BBQ until hot; lower to medium heat. Lightly rub the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the grill and cook over moderate heat until browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic cloves, herb sprigs and butter.
Turn the steak to the other side for 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on each of it's sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Lay the steak flat, baste with the garlic butter. Continue to cook the steak for about 3 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125° for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest.
Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the arugula and cook for 10 seconds, then drain and cool under running water. Squeeze out the excess water and transfer the blanched arugula to a food processor. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the pine nuts, the Parmesan and the olive oil. Pulse to a coarse paste. Season the pesto with salt and pepper.
Thinly slice the steak and arrange on a platter. Spoon the pesto over the steak, sprinkle with the remaining pine nuts and serve.
Pair with Amista's Cabernet Sauvignon for a "wow" moment.
Why this pairing works: This Cabernet has rich concentrated blackberry and a touch of roasted strawberry jam. It opens up to big, broad tannins that are bold and balanced making it an incredible pairing with grilled meats.
Heat grill to medium-high. Drizzle olive oil on vegetables, lightly salt for grilling. Once grill is heated place a grilling mat or aluminum BBQ tray on one side and add onions and fennel. (for ease of grilling you may want to blanche or microwave the cauliflower before placing on the grill or grill pan) Simultaneously grill sausages, being careful not to let the grill "flare up". Vegetables should be lightly caramelized and fork tender.
In a food processor add basil, garlic, a pinch of red pepper flakes, lemon zest, pine nuts and salt. Blend until nearly smooth. Add olive oil a little at a time and emulsify.
Assemble the plate drizzling the Gremolada over the sausage and cauliflower. Sprinkle with pecorino romano cheese.
This flavorful recipe will pair with many of your favorite Pedroncelli's wines – try it with Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma Classico or Zinfandel.
Why this pairing works: This versatile recipe complements the freshness and acidity in Pedroncelli's Sauvignon Blanc or, if you prefer red wine, the structure of Sonoma Classico and its mild tannins make this a wonderful grill-side pairing.
Did you try any of these recipes? We want to see!
We're celebrating National Grilling month all July long with our wineries' favorite BBQed pairings ranging from the classic to the adventurous. We all know Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is the quintessential wine to pair with all things grilled – and trust us, you'll get some of those pairings, but did you know that Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rhone wines and Cabernet can also complement the savory goodness that your grill imparts?
For week 1, we're featuring Matorana's Olio di Gio's Pesto Marinated Grilled Shrimp and Seghesio's Grilled Berkshire Pork Chops with White Cheddar Polenta, Swiss Chard and Blueberry Compote. Can you guess what these experts paired with these grilled delicacies? You'll have to read and find out!
To make the pesto, pulse the basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, Olio di Gio olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Marinate the shrimp in the pesto for at least 20 minutes, up to overnight, in the fridge.
Skewer the shrimp (if using bamboo skewers, soak for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling).
Grill the skewers over medium-high heat until cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve with lemon wedges and a glass of 2017 Sauvignon Blanc or 2016 Chardonnay from Martorana Family Winery.
Why we love this pairing: the herbaceous qualities of thyme in the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc perfectly complement the fresh herbs used in the pesto while the nutty characteristics from the Chardonnay shine when next to their pine nut and parmesan friends.
You can find Martorana's wine and olive oil via their website or their tasting room on West Dry Creek Rd.
This is an easy and delicious summertime dish – so don't be intimidated by the steps. You can marinate the pork, cook the chard and make the compote one day ahead of time as well, leaving just the polenta and grilling Berkshire Pork Long-Bone Chops for the day of the meal.
The pork should be marinated a minimum of six hours but 24 hours would be ideal if you have the time. Toss all ingredients together and keep cold. You should pull the pork out of refrigerator and allow to come up to room temperature for at least an hour before grilling.
Bring the stock and milk to a boil.
Whisk in polenta and continue to whisk until polenta sets – around 4-5 minutes. Then cook on low heat until soft.
When finished cooking, add butter and cheese, taste and add salt if needed.
You can keep covered and hold warm until you cook the pork.
Sweat garlic in oil on medium heat until soft, then add leaves of chard.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt, and allow chard to wilt.
When wilted, season with salt and pepper to your taste and add the juice from ½ of one lemon.
If made ahead of time just heat up in pan on medium flame.
Coat berries in mixing bowl with sugar and cornstarch using a spoon. Make sure cornstarch and sugar are distributed evenly. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
Sweat the shallots in butter using a small sauce pan. Do not allow any color on the shallots.
Once the shallots are soft, add port and red wine vinegar and reduce by ½.
Add the blueberry mixture and cook until everything starts to thicken slightly and berries begin to soften.
If preparing the day ahead, allow to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate. To warm at a later time, heat gently in sauce pan or in oven to prevent scorching.
Pull pork from marinade and scrape off excess marinade with the hands to prevent garlic from burning on grill. Cook over medium-high charcoal until desired doneness is achieved. I generally pull mine at 145 degrees for a pink and juicy medium. Enjoy with a glass of Seghesio's 2015 Cortina Zinfandel.
Why we love this pairing: this recipe joins together savory and sweet so well that we feel it highlights the best qualities in this bottle of wine – its subtle white pepper spice and classic dark cherry and raspberry notes make it truly a perfect barbecued pairing.
You can find Seghesio's wine online, at their tasting room, or at a variety of wine shops and grocery stores near you.
There's no doubt that the Pumpkin is the ultimate icon for October, so let's celebrate with this crunchy take on classic fall flavor. Pair these bites with a medium-bodied Rhone white wine, such as Marsanne-Roussane, Viognier or a blend and let the stone-fruit and nutty flavors complement the cheesy goodness of your croquettes.
Find the recipe for Cheesy Pumpkin Chickpea Croquettes by clicking here to go to Babble.com.
We know that turkey doesn't take center stage until the end of November, but why does turkey only get Thanksgiving in the sun? This versatile and healthy meat works so well with the spices from your favorite BBQ sauce making it a perfect pairing for Dry Creek Valley's signature red wine – Zinfandel! We won't tell your friends how many of these you ate before they actually showed up…promise.
Whip up a batch of these spicy turkey meatballs with this recipe from Sugar Dish Me.
Carignane comes typically bursting with fall flavors of cranberries and baking spice. Making it one of our favorite wines to drink when the leaves turn. This wine is renowned for is food pairing capability so you are welcome to branch off and try your own special recipe. One incredible pairing we can't get enough of is this savory sweet combination of sweet potatoes and goat cheese.
Check out Ciao Florentina for this tasty Sweet Potato Rounds recipe.
What are your favorite Dry Creek Valley pairings to share with friends? Share with us on our social channels for a chance to be featured on our page!
As winegrowers, we have always been attuned to the seasons. Now, we are delighted to see that seasonal eating is not just a fad for farmers and the Chez Panisse-crowd, but a way of life embraced up and down the consumer food chain. Spring is the most exciting season of all — the time of year when green things start to emerge from their slumber and farmers' markets break out in a rash of color.
Asparagus is one of those vegetables that, while now readily available year round, is indisputably at its best in springtime. While a challenge to pair with wine, we encourage you to try pairing asparagus with Dry Creek Valley sauvignon blanc. You'll be surprised at how well the two work together. Below is a recipe from Quivira Vineyards and Winery that rounds out the earthiness of asparagus with creamy chevre and a salty, savory kick from prosciutto.
With spring nearly here and the days getting longer, it's a wonderful time for outdoor food, especially here in Dry Creek Valley. Whether its a picnic, potluck, or just a casual dinner in your backyard, food that can be eaten outdoors alongside a glass of wine is going to be fitting for just about every occasion. This Napoletana-style Margherita pizza recipe from Chef Jon Seeger of Boskos Trattoria paired with a 2011 Nalle Winery Zinfandel is a crowd-pleaser that will have you feeling (and looking) like an artisanal pizza maker!

Kitchen: It's where Chefs cook
==============================

Kitchen is an alternative to the default chef-server.  It allows you to manage your infrastructure with more of a git workflow over the default workflow focused on versioning recipes.

Kitchen is targeting Chef 0.10, as it introduces several API changes as well as the concept of "environments".

Goals
-----

Kitchen was born out of a realization that the traditional chef-server didn't fit the type of workflow I wanted.

* I wanted to version my infrastructure instead of individual cookbooks.
* Changes often cross several cookbooks and are interdependent.
* We maintain several different environments, some of which are ahead of production in their infrastructure for testing/development.
* We'll be developing major infrastructure changes in a branch of our chef repo while still supporting the existing infrastructure in another.

We aimed to solve these problems by:

* Having kitchen work directly off our repository of cookbooks/roles.
* Rather than using knife to upload changes, we just commit and push that branch
* We switch environments, roles, or individual nodes to use different branches.

**Kitchen is very very much ALPHA. At best, it is a semi-working prototype.**

It is under active development, but still very rough under the edges. Right now is is simply a prototype. A lot of the code is still pretty ugly in parts, as it was focused on "what do I gotta do to make this sort of work".  Refinement and actual specs are coming soon.

As Chef 0.10 is still just a beta, it may also be changing as well.

Contributing
------------

* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important.
* Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

The average household in America owns two cars. That ratio has made for a whopping 269 million cars on our roads.
America's vehicle obsession stems from a deep-rooted yearning for the freedom to go where you want, when you want to go there. Cars allow us to achieve that end.
If you're among the people that rely on cars to get to the places you need to go and also are among those who want your car to exude luxury, you may be in the market to purchase a luxury car.
While most luxury cars are expensive, the good news is that you can purchase used luxury cars that are every bit as good as their new counterparts.
To help you with your used luxury car buying journey, below, our team has put together a list of buying a used luxury car tips you should keep in mind!
Luxury cars are more than just mechanical feats of engineering. They're also incredible technological achievements.
Today, cars that are in the luxury market have an advanced network of computer chips and sensors weaved through their systems that are excellent at detecting errors both when they've occurred and just prior.
To make sure that you're not purchasing a car with a pre-existing condition, be sure to have your used car dealer run a full diagnostic scan on your luxury vehicle before driving off of the lot with it.
Note that just because the check engine light isn't on does not mean that your car is working fine. The only way to be certain that you're getting what you think you're paying for is to run a proper scan.
Air suspension is a great feature in luxury vehicles that can significantly improve the performance of a car and add to the comfort of your ride. That being said, in used vehicles, air suspension is one of the prime culprits when it comes to problems and results in costly repairs.
As air suspension systems age, many used car owners have reported untimely leaks or outright system failures. The costs involved with repairing those issues often outweigh the benefit air suspension brings to a ride.
For that reason, if surprise maintenance costs have you worried, we recommend avoiding air suspension or buying an extended warranty to cover yourself against potential issues.
A PPI or "pre-purchase inspection" is when you pay a nominal charge (typically $100.00 or so) to an experienced technician who will look over the used vehicle you're hoping to buy from top to bottom.
With a technician's help, you may be able to uncover thousands of dollars worth of issues which you can then bring up when negotiating a price.
Given the amount of investment buying a used luxury car represents, it's not worth it to skimp on a PPI before taking it off of the lot. Once you drive your car away, unless it's under warranty, you'll be on the hook for any issues that show up after.
It's not uncommon for previous owners of luxury cars to extensively modify their vehicles. Those vehicle modifications are often done with cheap 3rd party parts which can undermine the integrity of the car or void its warranty.
Keep in mind that not all dealers are as honest as this used BMW dealership or other organizations that truly value your business. Some are just looking to make a sale by any means necessary and to that end, may fake ignorance when it comes to mods.
If you're not a car expert and will have trouble recognizing changes made to a vehicle when buying a used luxury car, bring along a friend who has a better-trained eye. That or hire a technician to accompany you to the dealership.
Modern luxury cars pull a ton of power to ensure that all of its components are working inside and outside of the car's cabin. Because of that, the battery in a luxury vehicle is under a lot of stress.
While not a problem with a new car, with used cars, all of that power drain may lead to you inheriting a battery that's in bad condition.
To ensure you don't drive off the lot with a battery that's going to need changing in a couple of months, watch out for flickering lights in your car, components that work sporadically or any other funny business that is electrically related.
If you notice these things, ask that your dealer replace the battery or reduce the car's price.
If your luxury can is outfitted with all of the best bells in whistles, try them before buying.
Some used car dealerships may fail to mention malfunctioning features. Your best defense against that is to see for yourself if everything works and ceaselessly ask questions.
The more you experiment with your car before buying, the more confidence you can have when driving it off of the lot.
It's no secret that dealers have wiggle room in their pricing. To make sure that you A) Get the best deal possible and B) Don't blindside your dealer with incredibly low-ball offers, it's important to get educated before buying a used luxury car.
Great places to start getting your education on pricing, are via browsing local dealerships and noting sticker prices or by tools like Kelly Blue Book and True Car to see what average used cars in the make/model you're seeking out go for.
The better prepared you are before purchasing your car, the smoother your luxury car buying experience will go.
Sure, it may seem like you can afford the luxury car of your dreams… But can you really?
In addition to the higher purchase price that comes with buying a used luxury car, you'll also have to worry about other miscellaneous expenses.
Higher maintenance bills. More expensive parts. A more expensive variety of gas. Higher insurance rates… the list goes on.
Do your best to come up with a monthly estimate on what it's going to cost to keep your car on the road post-purchase. Be sure to include everything from gas to maintenance and tags in your calculation.
Once you come up with an honest number on how much buying a used luxury car is going to cost you throughout its life, ask yourself, "Can I really afford this?".
If you have ground to make up on your monthly expenses as far as car ownership goes or if you're just environmentally conciseness, you can make an impact on both of those fronts by opting for a luxury vehicle that runs on electricity, diesel fuel or has a hybrid engine.
Talk to your used luxury car dealer to see what options are available. Ask them to help give you a better idea on how much you could save by opting for traditional fuel alternative cars.
At the end of the day, the number one thing that you'll want to keep in mind when buying a used luxury car is who you're buying it from.
Luxury car sales can represent a huge profit opportunity for dealerships and to that end, many sellers will do anything they can to get you to take a car off of their lot. Tactics can include misinformation, non-disclosure of information or just a lack of interest in getting you into a vehicle that's going to best suit your life.
So talk to friends and family members to see if they have quality dealer recommendations. Take to Yelp, Google, and Facebook to read reviews and see what people are saying about the dealer you're considering doing business with.
The more thorough you are in your dealer selection process, the more confident you can be in the car you take off of a lot.
Luxury cars are a significant investment for buyers. That being said, they also represent a ton of value in the amount of joy and convenience they can bring to an owner's life.
To get the best deal on your next luxury car purchase, we recommend opting for a quality used vehicle. We also recommend leveraging our buying a used luxury car tips above.
Each of them will help ensure that you end up driving off of a lot without buyer's remorse!

It doesn't seem fair, right? The U.S. Treasury gets to borrow money at about 2 percent interest these days. That's latest yield on the 10-year Treasury note. When the government turns around and loans that money to college students, most of them are paying well over 6 percent interest. Meanwhile, the average fixed rate on a 30-year mortgage these days is just over 3.5 percent.
To understand why student borrowers pay so much more, I started with my go-to guy for all things financial aid, Mark Kantrowitz of FinAid.org. He says there are two big reasons federal student loans cost more than, say, a mortgage or car loan. Nobody checks your credit. And there's no collateral.
Even at comparatively low rates, more people are defaulting on their education loans. And unlike other types of debt, you can't escape student loans by filing for bankruptcy.
One youth advocacy group is pitching an idea to make it easier to pay them off -- a federal loan refinancing program.
"If you refinance loans down to 5 percent -- so just the loans that are above that -- that would save people about $14 billion in interest rate payments for this year alone," says Tobin Van Ostern, deputy director of Campus Progress. It's part of the liberal Center for American Progress.
Belmont Jennings finished law school just as high-paying legal jobs seemed to evaporate. She owes about $170,000 in student loans, and says she could really use a few hundred extra dollars a month.
When they did buy a house, this year, they got a mortgage rate of 3.7 percent.
It is possible to refinance student loans -- privately. SoFi makes loans to students and graduates of certain colleges. The loans are funded by alumni of those schools. For a re-fi CEO Mike Cagney says the average borrower comes in with a rate of about 7.2 percent.
But to qualify you have to have gone to one of the 79 schools SoFi works with, like Carnegie Mellon or the University of Michigan. To refinance on a large scale, Cagney says, the federal government would need to step in.

Q: Pre-70s history of the future citing science-fiction authors as historical sources I am looking for a novel that was written as a history, but from the perspective of centuries in our future. The genius of this particular work was to take future events written by other authors and run them together in one coherent history, each chapter corresponding to a borrowed future. The future historian cited science-fiction authors as historical sources.
The work addressed the history of the world rather than any one country or region, and the later chapters addressed the philosophical advancement of the human race. Unfortunately, I no longer remember which sources the author chose (other than, probably, H. G. Wells), but the hardback copy was already well worn when I read it no later than about 1980, and I would guess from its style that it was published in the 1950s to 1960s. The book was in English and lacked illustrations, and evidently was not widely distributed as I have only seen a copy twice over the past five decades.
It is not:

*

*H. G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come (1933), which is also written as history, though I think it did draw from Wells' work;

*Heinlein's Future History series;

*Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men (1930);

*Brian Stapleford's The Third Millennium: a History of the World: AD 2000-3000 (1985);

*nor does it seem to be any of the works listed in the Wikipedia article on Future History, most of which were written too late to be considered.

A: This is my best guess, though it's not the only book of its kind:
Tomorrow Revealed, a novel by John Atkins; originally published 1955 in Britain, reprinted 1956 in the U.S. and Canada, all editions in hard covers. (P.S. The original poster points out that the book is available at the Internet Archive.)
From a review by P Schuyler Miller in Astounding Science Fiction, June 1957, available at the Internet Archive:

This is a pure tour de force whose price and special nature will probably mean that you buy it off a remainder table in a few months or a year. Since there is no plot and no TV or film potential, there is not likely to be a paperback edition (Roy seems to have imported the printed pages of the English book).
The idea is one I used years ago in a guest editorial for—I think—Startling. It was called "Counterfeiting a Golden Age," and suggested the perplexity of future historians who try to reconstruct the history of our times from a file of science-fiction magazines. And the narrator of "Tomorrow Revealed," who has blundered on a library somewhere along the upper Nile in 3750 A.D., has set himself exactly that job: reconstructing some eighteen hundred years of the Dark Ages of his own time from the books of H. G. Wells and George Orwell, Ray Bradbury and A. E. van Vogt, C. S. Lewis and Wilson Tucker, Aldous Huxley and Vargo Statten.
The sources he has used are all English—Bradbury's "Martian Chronicles" is cited by its British title, "The Silver Locusts," and one of the key references, Robert Graves' "Let [sic] the Northwind Rise," has its original title, "Seven Days in New Crete"—and a few may be unfamiliar. But by and large, most reasonably well-read science-fiction devotees should be able to appreciate the ingenuity with which the author has woven together and reconciled the hosts of conflicting elements in his "sources," to produce a consecutive, consistent "history" of the next two thousand years.
Most of H. G. Wells' accounts, for example, are badly out of phase with the "histories" written half a century after his time: this is explained by pointing out that Wells lived in an era—that of "1984"—when it would have been politic to back-date the Martian invasion and Cavor's visit to the Moon, and that other details of both chronicles were adjusted to satisfy the temper of the times. The Vitons of Eric Frank Russell's "Sinister Barrier" become Earth's wicked eldils, described by C. S. Lewis in his "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra." And so it goes. I have counted some fifty irreconcilable books woven into this amazing history of the future, and other authors—Kuttner, del Rey, Blish, Kornbluth—are mentioned when their short stories contribute to the framework.
The closest parallel is, of course, Stapledon's "Last and First Men"—which is so nonconforming to the rest of the canon that it is passed off as "fiction." The style is matter-of-factly narrative, as it should be. And, in the doing, Mr. Atkins has shown how extensively the minds of science-fiction writers have traveled along the same paths in their projections of Man and his society. SF may not be a literature of prophecy, but it has written its own formula for the future, which John Atkins has translated back into words.

Alternatively, here is a more obscure work in the same vein and from about the same time:
A Short History of the Future: Based on the Most Reliable Authorities With Maps, a 1955 hardcover novel by R. C. Churchill. Probably not the one you're looking for, since you didn't mention any maps. Here is a review from NESFA's Recursive Science Fiction site:

It is not exactly fiction, in that it assumes that science fiction is actually predictive and tries to reconcile major works into a coherent timeline. Oppressive societies described by Bradbury, Vonnegut and Orwell coexist on Earth while Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles occurs on Mars. Then, Bradbury's nuclear war leads to Huxley's Ape And Essence and to works by other authors. Apparent inconsistencies are explained  humorously so that implausibilities do not really matter.

Glenn Connor, a blacksmith in Charleston, West Virginia, observed, "Tools don't make the blacksmith, the blacksmith makes the tools." While forging or fabricating metalworking tools by hand is an essential job at a smithy, it can be a wasteful and time consuming chore at foundries and die casting shops. Nevertheless, many metal casters regularly require their maintenance staff to fabricate a variety of hand tools for use in melting operations. These include slag and dross skimmers, scrapers, sampling spoons and stirrers, all cobbled together from scrap iron and steel. But there is a better way.
Foundry tools manufactured using advanced ceramic materials are available for a wide variety of melt shop tasks and offer important advantages over metal tools in almost every application. Unlike metal tools, ceramic tools for foundries and die casters are engineered to perform well in contact with molten metal. They are not melted nor deformed by high temperatures, they resist slag and dross buildup and they are light weight. Moreover, unlike metal tools that require fre- quent replacement, ceramic foundry tools provide a long service life. Also, when the real cost of producing and maintaining metal tools in-house is calculated, ceramic tools offer a lower overall cost.
Among the most useful and versatile ceramic hand tools are ladle bowls. These are manufactured in sizes and shapes ranging from small bowls for taking molten metal samples to large bowls suitable for ladling metal into moulds. Because of their non-wetting characteristics, i.e., their ability to resist surface penetration by molten metal and slag, they remain free of dirt and contamination allowing for cleaner samples. In the case of larger bowls used for filling small moulds, they ensure cleaner metal pours. The thermal properties of the bowls' clay-graphite ma- terial also helps maintain the correct temperature for pouring accurate samples and moulds.
Ladle bowls also are available with a drain hole that makes them highly effective in removing slag and dross from the surface of the metal bath in a furnace or ladle. Unlike conventional metal slag skimmers, ladle bowls efficiently collect and remove slag and dross without requiring large amounts of coagulants. Because of their light weight for their capacity, ceramic ladle bowls are particularly better than metal skimmers where large quantities of material have to be removed over an extended period of time.
Other ceramic tools for working with molten metal include small dip samplers with integral handles, stirrers designed to produce more homogeneous alloys, plain and paddle-bladed rods and scrapers for removing slag and dross.
Using many of the same highly developed materials used for modern crucibles, today's advanced ceramic products for use with molten metal are characterized by exceptional resistance to erosion caused by metal and slag, high resistance to thermal shock and by the ability of their non-wetting surface to resist penetration by molten metal and slag. They also offer very high thermal conductivity. These special properties make advanced ceramic materials ideal for a broad range of foundry products used in molten metal production. In addition to the ladle bowls and other tools discussed above, they include ceramic launders, pyrometer and thermocouple protection sheaths, heater sheaths, tubes, porous degassing lances, plunger mixers, ladle stoppers, nozzles, needle valves, downspouts, filling funnels, converter segments and cements and coatings.
Pre-formed ceramic launders are available in varying shapes and sizes to precisely match specific requirements for transferring molten metal between furnaces and from furnaces to casting ladles. Ceramic launders offer reduced maintenance requirements and longer service life than refractory cast or lined launders.
Because of the material's high thermal conductivity, ceramic sheaths are widely used to protect pyrometers and thermocouples where accurate and responsive temperature measurement is required. Similarly, ceramic heater sheaths are used with electric resistance and gas-fired furnaces for the efficient transfer of heat to the metal in the furnace.
Ceramic tubes have numerous uses in the foundry including forming the teapot spout in ladles, cupola receiver entries and spouts and cupola slagging box siphons. They are also used for transferring metal from the furnace to the ladle or from ladle to mould.
Tubes with a threaded end for attachment to a gas supply adapter are used in aluminium degassing applications to pass nitrogen it the metal bath to eliminate dissolved hydrogen that would cause porosity in casting. A range of ceramic degassing lances incorporates a porous end for smaller bubble size and better distribution of the nitrogen or argon gas when used in continuous degassing applications.
Ceramic plunger mixers also are used in degassing and in metal treatment applications. They are used to plunge treatment tablets into brass or aluminium and for stirring in the reaction products in the production of ductile iron.
Ceramic ladle stoppers, needle valves and downspouts and refractory nozzles are manufactured to close tolerances for use in bottom pour and continuous casting applications. These products help ensure an effective, non-stick, seal and reseal process without leaks when closed. Other ceramic foundry products include filling funnels, used in dosing furnaces; ductile iron converter segments; thermally conductive and high performance cement; and zircon refractory coatings to protect refractory materials and metal tools against molten metal attack.
All molten metals present serious challenges to the materials used to melt, hold, process and transfer them. But modern ceramic materials provide an inherent ability to withstand the high temperatures associated with all molten metals. Together with their resistance to erosion and chemical attack, their high thermal conductivity, their physical strength and their ability to resist thermal shock, these materials are providing foundry operators and die casters with the tools they need to meet these challenges.

Series Foreword Jack Stark One can conceive of the United States Constitution in many ways. For example, noting the reverence in which it has been held, one can think of it as equivalent to a sacred text. Unfortunately, most of its devotees have had less knowledge and even less understanding of the document than they have had reverence for it. Some- times it is treated as primarily a political document and on that basis has been subjected to analysis, such as Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. One can plausibly argue that the Constitution seems most astounding when it is seen in the light of the intellectual effort that has been associated with it. Three brief but highly intense bursts of intellectual energy produced, and established as organic law, most of the Constitution as it now exists. Two of these efforts, sustained over a long period of time, have en- abled us better to understand that document. The first burst of energy occurred at the Constitutional Convention. Although some of the delegates' business, such as the struggle between populous and non- populous states about their representation in Congress, was political, much of it was about fundamental issues of political theory. A few of the delegates had or later achieved international eminence for their intellects. Among them were Ben- jamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison. Others, although less well known, had first-rate minds. That group includes George Mason and George Wythe. Many of the delegates contributed intelligently. Although the Conven- tion's records are less than satisfactory, they indicate clearly enough that the dele- gates worked mightily to constitute not merely a polity but a rational polity—one that would rise to the standards envisioned by the delegates' intellectual ances- tors. Their product, though brief, is amazing. William Gladstone called it "the most wonderful work ever struck off." Despite the delegates' eminence and the Constitution's excellence as seen from our place in history, its ratification was far from certain. That state of affairs ne- cessitated the second burst of intellectual energy associated with that document: the debate over ratification. Soon after the Convention adjourned, articles and

Fashion and textiles: Italy launches offensive starting with Pitti Uomo
The Florentine trade show Pitti Uomo, a major global menswear event, enjoyed an auspicious opening on Tuesday, January 13. While a dense crowd bustled about in the aisles of the Fortezza da Basso amidst a fresh spring air, the show's organizers appeared satisfied with the participation "of more than 1,200 exhibitors, including 700 Italians, offering collections with a very competitive quality-price ratio."
The opening ceremony saw the unveiling of "an extraordinary project for the Made in Italy" promoted by the Italian government with an investment of 261 million euros thrown into the bargain to support the internationalization of Italian SMEs in 2015, while 36 million per year will be allocated to the textile and apparel industry in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

"An Italian government has never invested so much. Previously, 40 million on average was annually allocated to the promotion of exports and only 4.5 million in fashion. We have finally understood the need to invest in what works and not to invest in what doesn't," said Italian minister of economic development Carlo Calenda as he presented the plan, which is centered on two priorities.
First priority: support for the Italian fashion industry through the backing of its major trade shows - Milano Unica (textile), Pitti (menswear/childrenswear) FILO (yarns and fibers), Mipel and Linea Pelle (leather goods). "We will provide funding for specific projects for each of these events, as we did last year for Pitti Uomo. This year, 2 million will be allocated to the menswear show, but we also intend to lend our support to the childrenswear sector with Pitti Bimbo and other shows," said the deputy minister.
To carry out this project and to make the cities hosting these events more attractive, a clear and precise positioning has been defined for each one. Milan hosts womenswear and fashion shows, Florence has menswear and childrenswear, and Rome is set to become the new design hub for up-and-coming talent. At the same time, work will be undertaken to strengthen ties and ensure cooperation between the textile districts of Biella, Prato and Côme.
The second priority concerns the shows' relationships to foreign markets. Particularly for Milano Unica, which will be launching an edition in the United States. "We are the number one country for fabrics! The fact that Milano Unica is not the greatest of all textile shows is unacceptable," decried Carlo Calenda. "In addition to Milan and Shanghai, we intend to launch a special US edition," he promised.
At the same time, the focus will be on Shanghai, where, this year, the Italians will present textiles and footwear under the same roof during TheMicam Shanghai, which will include apparel for the first time as part of the initiative "Italian [email protected]". "For the first time, the entire Made in Italy supply chain will be gathered at one trade show. It's a project that we would like to duplicate in the United States," said the deputy minister.
Finally, a major retail offensive will be launched abroad, especially in China, the US and Japan, where, according to Calenda, Italian products aren't sufficiently represented.

It was said that when testing the first computer designed by von Neumann, people gave the following problem to both the legendary professor and the new computer: If the 4th digit of 2^n is 7, what is the smallest n? The machine and von Neumann began computing at the same moment, and von Neumann gave the answer first.
Now you are challenged with a similar but more complicated problem: If the K-th digit of M^n is 7, what is the smallest n?
Each case is given in a line with 2 numbers: K and M (< 1,000).
For each test case, please output in a line the smallest n.
The answer is no more than 100.

Today's flat stage out of Tours ended with the inevitable bunch sprint, won by our very own Mark 'The Manx Missile' Cavendish – his 25th stage win at the TdF. But the real story of the day was the wind, which split the field and created the kinds of time gaps you'd expect to see after a major mountain stage. The biggest loser was Spain's Alejandro Valverde (MoviStar) who, like Richie Porte a few days ago, saw second place overall disappear down the road, probably for good. Even maillot jaune Chris Froome lost a minute of his advantage over fancied rival Alberto Contador, with Team Sky looking vulnerable once again. What's going to happen when they hit Mont Ventoux on Sunday is anyone's guess right now. 'The invisible hill' is roadie slang for a headwind, which has the power to turn a flat road into a slope, a slope into a mountain, and a mountain into hell on earth. N.


Apply for Auto Loans for Bad Credit with our Secure and Confidential Application!
In the last years, the number of offers in the auto loans sector has become so high that you don't need to worry about your credit history anymore. It is true that some loans given by lenders to help you buy a car require credit checking, but the rules and contexts are both fairly flexible and attractive to users at the same time. Irrespective of your situation, you will get access to auto loans for bad credit if you search the market right. Alternatively, you can also contact a third-party company to do it for you. At www.unitedfinances.com, we take pride in offering the most beneficial offers to our customers, so contact us to get an offer.
Online lenders' websites – they provide insight into the matter, but each and every one's perspective is implicitly limited by the offers one has.
Printed guides – they can be of real help, provided that they are not used solely as a marketing strategy to attract you in one direction or another.
Financial advisors – they are the most impartial of all: they provide solid and reliable advice.
Bank representatives – again, similar to printed guides, they can offer real insight as long as they're not biased.
Auto dealers – it is in their own interest to find a good deal for you, so you should listen to them carefully and then do what you think is best for you.
Financing calculators – they offer real value if you know how to use them right. To be able to calculate the payments, you need to provide: interest rate, credit score, amount of money to be borrowed, and period of time to return the money.
Credit reports – you can check your credit reports for free which can help you estimate the interest rate you will get.
Video guides – some video guides come with examples or formulas that can make financial calculations easier for you.
Online third-party websites – they give insight into the best offers on the market at a certain moment in time and, in addition, they have online tools to help you calculate APR.
Auto insurance guides – they provide a limited analysis of the general credit score and its impact on auto loans.
Wherever you want to purchase the car – auto dealers, auto traders, online resources can all be used to determine the values of auto loans for bad credit.
For auto loans, specialized advice is recommended. Apart from the advantage of being able to properly calculate rates, financial experts can explain the major difference between applying for a loan intended to buy a new car and a loan for a used car. You may find that the differences in the APR are so relevant that you may reconsider your initial perspective. But, even if you stick to the first solution, financial advisors can shed light on the matter for you so that you can get the car you want at exceptional rates.


Sounds like a good topic to open up The Building's monthly art talks series. Berlin-based critic Jan Verwoert is at the helm, and all are welcome.
The dominant models no longer satisfy. It makes no sense to melodramatically invoke the "end of painting" (or any other medium-specific practice for that part) when the continous emergence of fascinating work obviously proves apocalyptic endgame scenarios wrong. Yet, to pretend it were possible to go back to business as usual seems equally impossible because the radical expansion of artistic possibilities through the landslide changes of the 1960s leave medium-specific practices in the odd position of being one among many modes of artistic articulation, with no preset justification. How can we describe then what medium-specific practices like painting or sculpture can do today?
i'd like to know where and when jan verwoerts essay with this title was published. thank you very much!
I'm not sure if Verwoert's lecture has been published in written form. The text quoted above was from the press announcement for the lecture given last October.

JOHN DeMONT: Dartmouth woman who had to live in car humbled by outpouring of kindness
John DeMont (jdemont@herald.ca)
Joni Rutledge stands beside her Pontiac sedan in the parking lot of the Dartmouth Crossing Walmart on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019. - Ryan Taplin
"I'm shocked. I'm agog, and I don't even know what agog means."
When Joni Rutledge said on Monday that her previous night had been "wonderful" she was perhaps using that adjective a little differently than you or I.
Until last Thursday, you see, her bed was the driver's seat of her 2010 Pontiac G5 sedan.
Then the provincial Department of Community Services read in these pages about how, after having three toes amputated due to complications from diabetes, Rutledge lost her job and then her apartment, and, at age 63, ended up homeless in a Dartmouth Walmart parking lot.
Since the government got involved she's been staying at the Dartmouth Travelodge on the province's dime.
"The bed," she said in a swooning, luxuriant tone when I ask about the accommodations, "oh my God you just sprawl right out on it."
And the bathroom: "You don't have to drive a kilometre to use the bathroom."
Come Thursday when her Community Services-paid reservation at the motel is slated to end, Rutledge could technically be back living in her car.
But that seems unlikely given the outpouring of generosity towards this woman who has spent so much of her life looking after others — her mom, a beloved niece with special needs, a brother laid low by cancer.
"I'm more than surprised," Rutledge said, "I'm shocked. I'm agog, and I don't even know what agog means."
They started arriving last Thursday not long after her story appeared in The Chronicle Herald and on our website. (Don't tell me that local journalism doesn't matter.)
The people with cheques for her, and even cash right out of their pocket, like the single mom who said that she didn't have much but knew what Rutledge was going through, before handing her a $5 bill.
The people with blankets and clothes.
The people she hadn't seen in half a century, like the financial services big-wig she went to junior high school with who showed up to give her some dough and promised more to come, and the woman Rutledge once worked with over in Shearwater who pushed some gas money on her former workmate.
"A big part of me feels that I don't deserve this."
Some of the gestures are so touching I'm welling up just writing about them. The man who showed up with the still-warm chicken soup his wife had just made. The guy who handed her his card, just in case she needed work done on her car. The older gentleman who arrived with the scarf and hat his wife had knitted.
"It's overwhelming," said Rutledge who estimates that she has received some 200 texts, emails, Facebook messages and telephone calls from people wanting to help since her story became public. "A big part of me feels that I don't deserve this."
I got some of them too: from a woman named Kayla offering her "some meals, a warm and clean place to shower, someone to talk to," and the owner of a Dartmouth feed store who remembered how Rutledge, not a dog owner herself, used to buy treats for her co-worker's pets from him.
From volunteers at places like Hope Kitchen and Dartmouth Family Centre and Community Food Centre, who wanted to help, and folks bemoaning the social assistance programs in Nova Scotia, which have left a woman like Rutledge in such dire straits.
Through me total strangers offered her accommodations in the Annapolis Valley and New Brunswick, a former co-worker said Rutledge could stay with her for a few nights and someone who knew her from when she lived in Glace Bay simply reached out, aghast at the situation her old friend finds herself in.
Something about her story — this selfless woman who had somehow fallen through the cracks, beneath our very eyes — seemed to touch so many.
Evan Hennigar had never met Rutledge. But the NSCC student was heading home to Mahone Bay for Christmas. After reading about her, he offered Rutledge his vacant Dartmouth apartment.
"It's not so much kind as it is not being completely selfish," the 18-year-old told me by email.
Evan Lafford, on the other hand, had worked with Rutledge for four years at the Dartmouth call centre that last summer laid her off for absenteeism.
"She was always kind, and generous," Lafford said via email. "She wouldn't hesitate to help anyone out, and her humour really brightened up the day."
So when Lafford, 29, read of her plight he set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of keeping Rutledge off the streets for the winter, or at least until some permanent senior's housing is found for her.
His hope was to raise $500 or $600 ("Every little bit helps.") But less than 24 hours after its launch the campaign already topped $2,000.
As I typed these words the total had reached $4,200, with the contributions ranging from $500 from one anonymous donor, to many $10 and $5 pledges.
The money, Lafford says, will be used to find her an accessible place to live — along with being diabetic, Rutledge is severely arthritic with very limited mobility — until some senior's housing opens up for her.
To date, Community Services has found her two seniors housing options, but they're far from her friends and medical specialists.
So, Rutledge waits and hopes. But she no longer feels alone.
Somehow people just find out where she is and show up at her motel.
On Friday a carload of Cape Bretoners is slated to arrive with a trunk-full of stuff collected for her.
"I think they're from the Sydney area," she said, meaning that these strangers live a four-hour drive on winter roads away.
But, hey, it's Christmastime. A woman who has helped so many needs a hand. A life that just days ago seemed so bleak, looks a shade brighter.

ARTSY: Street Fighting Man
BY ELIZABETH FLYNN Dear anti-snob art nerds: Get your streetwise (but intellectual) ass to the coolest First Friday party in town, Cut Copy- a Stencil Show, tonight at South Philly's favorite gallery T&P Fine Art! Jon Halperin has curated another amazing group show, consisting entirely of stencil graffiti art. He's included pieces from some of the biggest names in the genre, two of which, Papermonster and Pure Evil, I talked to about their work and the history of the medium.
Halperin says that "Stencil art is my art drug of choice. I've been following this scene since 2005. I suppose it was my accidental introduction to Banksy, then just getting into other UK stencil artists like Nick Walker, D*Face, and Eelus. Then I found international artists, and lastly, the US artists, most notably Rene Gagnon. This is what makes up a great deal of my personal collection and I really wanted to do a show like this in Philly, which hasn't really seen a stencil art show in the past."
Some of the artists that he's really excited to include are,"Eelus and Jef Aerosol were biggies. Mr. Brainwash as well….I went to the preview night of his show in LA…it was amazing. He rented out an old TV studio and put together a show that rivaled Banksy's first LA show."
Though Pure Evil is in Sao Paolo, Brazil, opening a show there, Halperin said that there are quite a few artists that are coming to the opening tonight, so you can meet them and say you knew them when. With the prominence of Shepard Fairey these days, it's very likely that one or two of these contributors could reach that level of international acclaim. "2Cent is flying in from LA, he also has a show with locals Nose and El Toro in June at T&P. Buildmore will be there, as will Papermonster. Incidentally, if you start seeing a bunch of 2cent stencils around Philly after this weekend…total coincidence, ha ha."
Papermonster is very excited about the show. Though he's a relatively young artist, he's got the chops and the credentials to roll with some of the bigger names included. He's been influenced by a number of them. "One of my mentors within the stencil graffiti and urban art world has been Blek le Rat. He truly pioneered the art form in Paris and has been a great leader in opening the doors for stencil art to be accepted into galleries and other venues along with many other extremely talented and hard working urban/stencil artists such as Banksy, Nick Walker, Shepard Fairey, David Choe, Flying Fortress, Swoon, Chris Stain, and the list goes on. With each urban artist breaking new ground and gaining success it really helps continue to evolution of urban art and it pushes artists who are new and want to create to work harder and be hungrier for success."
You'll find Papermonster at the show tonight repping his work and T&P Fine Art. "I believe that T&P Fine Art is an incredible venue with no limits. They are bringing the best of the best to the public and you can really see that they want to showcase new things that will inspire and bring something unique for the public at large. This stencil show is their way of demonstrating the variety of styles and subjects within stencil art as well as between stencil artists throughout the world and it is an opportunity that you do not want to pass up. I will definitely be there for the opening with a massive amount of free stickers to hand out to everyone I meet or walks through those gallery doors."
Pure Evil just can't make it, being on another continent and all, but he took the time to talk to me about his work. One of the reasons that stencil graffiti has gained prominence recently is its inherently political nature. Pure Evil expounds,"the act of painting on a wall in the street is a political act in itself, but I want to talk about society and politics in my work."
His influences are across the board and worth quoting in their entirety, since he is hilarious. "I am influenced by a psychedelic mix of gonzo American pop culture, rock n roll, 19th century London life and French literature, pearly kings and queens, fantasy art, customized motorcycles, Latino culture, Victorian children's adventure books, Maoist propaganda, Situationism, occultism, latex sex, dead despots and dictators and a whole twisted ark load of asylum bound pandas, budgies, butterflies, bunnies, and psychotic penguins and you start to understand my quadrophrenic [sic] gallows humor."
Maybe it might be better to pretend that T&P Fine Art is what Pure Evil thinks about it, rather than a rad art show. "I have this image in my mind that it's like a place I visited in a Kasbah in Cairo where I bought hashish one time, but that could be just completely wrong."
So come out tonight. There's free beer, first dibs on the keg at 7pm, and there's bound to be all kinds of art happening up and down the block. I'm bringing my markers for sure. Enthusiastically, Beth.
FIRST FRIDAY ON FRANKFORD AVENUE
BY TIFFANY YOON Philadelphia is supposed to warm up this weekend and what better way to spend the evening then First Friday on Frankford Avenue. The New Kensington Community Development Center has organized a group of Kensington and Fishtown businesses to cater to those seeking new art, delicious snacks and wine to spare. The events begin at 5pm and run until 9pm. Here's a comprehensive list of functions to check out courtesy of the NKCDC's Frankford Avenue Corridor Coordinator Ryan Briggs:
The Highwire – 2040 Frankford Avenue
The Highwire has again held an open submission process for area artists, juried by Isaiah Zagar. Friday's opening will showcase a modicum of local talent, under the collective theme "Lookin' for Love", in honor of St. Valentine. Come for the art, stay for a free poetry reading featuring published authors Adam Fieled, David Prater, Sarah Birl and Paul Siegell.
The Goldfish Gallery – 2214 Frankford Ave.
Goldfish Gallery will be showcasing "Four Figurative Artists", a joint showing of photography by Roman Blazic and Benjamin Hunter, as well as sculptures by Jeremy Leichman and Joan Benefiel.
Proximity Gallery – 2434 E. Dauphin St.
Proximity Gallery will present "Circling Cartography", a collection of works by Marie DeMarais, a mixed media artist from Kensington.
Angler Arts – 1550 E. Montgomery Ave.
Angler Arts will be kicking out the family friendly jams with a family friendly dance party with their dance instructors.
The Rocket Cat café – 2001 Frankford Ave.
Rocket Cat hosts Jeff Thomas, a local icon in the Philadelphia art scene, who will be displaying his plaster sculptures and photo collections.
Bambi – 1817 Frankford Ave.
Bambi is running a double feature this month with seamstress Katie Henry and watercolor painter Katherine Kaminski.
The Memphis Taproom, all off on its own at Cumberland and Memphis St. The tap will be featuring the artwork of Sarah Ferone on its walls, above the din of Friday night regulars.
Germ Bookstore – 2005 Frankford Ave.
GERM, in keeping with their Teutonic psycho-supernatural bent of late, is hosting "Deitsch Heathen Hexology", a gallery of modernist renditions of 18th century Pennsylvania Dutch "barn-charms". These seemingly quaint symbols that adorn many Dutch country barns in the Delaware Valley region and beyond were thought to ward of negative spirits and promote fertility. Belief in the hexes has deep roots in traditional German culture. The most exciting barn-themed exhibit you will ever see! The Hexology exhibition also blends the Pennsylvania Dutch pagan symbols with Indian mythology with a work by artist Hunter Yoder, a Kensington local. Yoder, a former student of Johnny Ott, the famed "father of Hexology", painted a hex utilizing the image of the Indian god Vishnu that combines parts from 9 different animals. As David Williams, the owner of Germ books explains in the words of Yoder, "This isn't just something we came up with in the 70's"The art of Hexology, along with the pagan practices of the first German immigrants that make up the Pennsylvania Dutch goes back 3,000 years. It's not meant to be an evangelical show, as these pieces aren't replications of actual hexes, but "the aesthetics are really top notch", said Williams. Stop by Germ to view these beautiful pieces by Hunter Yoder, Valulfr Vaerulsson, Swan Hilde and other Philly native Patricia Hall. Also, don't forget to say hello to Gunther, the polish mannequin that sits in the back of the gallery.
Other businesses taking part in the First Friday events include The Barbary, Villa and Hut, Johnny Brenda's, Sketch Burger, hot Potato, Perpetua Antiques, Circle Thrift, Paddy's Well, The Garden Center, the Memphis Taproom and Atlantis Lost Bar. There will also be artwork by local artists Christopher Bye and Kimberly DiJohn at Mr. Bill's Deli located at Tulip and Berks streets.

Glad that sales are boosted, they are deserved. I certainly mention your books where I can 🙂 Very exciting projects coming up and I am very pleased to hear that Scott and Manda will be tied into Bite Back world.
Thanks Sarah. Will keep everyone posted.
I get a lot of feedback through email. Some of it is detailed and some of it is not. The level of detail isn't as big a thing to me as the communication itself. If you want to say something, it certainly doesn't have to be an essay.
