Mary Rose Burke Hemminghouse, 85, passed away in her home on April 5, 2019 with her loving family coming together to care for her in her final days. Mary Rose was born on 11-1-1933 in Brazil, Indiana to William and Maude Burke. She married John David Hemminghouse on October 31, 1953. Survivors include her husband and 4 children, Polly Jeffers (Jimmie), John E. Hemminghouse (Terri), Burke Hemminghouse (El Dete), and Michael Hemminghouse as well as 6 grandchildren Benjamin Jeffers, Matthew Jeffers (Angie), Kara Lovell (Jeremy), Neil Hemminghouse (Leslie), Lee Hemminghouse (Rachel), and Bridget Hemminghouse and 5 great-grandchildren, Ryne Jeffers, John B. Jeffers, Madelynn Jeffers, Colbie Hemminghouse, and Carson Hemminghouse. Mary Rose is preceded in death by her parents, her 5 siblings, and son, Eric Hemminghouse.
She graduated from St. Patrick High School in Terre Haute and Indiana State University. She worked as a caseworker for the Vigo County Welfare Department and Services for Children with Special Health Care Needs. Mary Rose advocated for individuals affected by mental illness and served many years on the boards of the Mental Health Association and Hamilton Center. She was a member of the Wabash Valley Art Guild.
She was a good mother. She was always there to listen and offer unconditional love, wise (sometimes unsolicited) advice, support and encouragement.
Family and friends were always very important to Mary Rose. She and John enjoyed traveling to Florida to see their two sons as well as European trips together. She loved to celebrate family birthdays and holidays together, many times at the family cabin. She shared a lot of fun times with her special nieces- the "Maude's Broads", as well as her Bunco Squad; and special friends, Mary Jo Boland, Dorothy Smith, and Genie Burns. Mary Rose loved to spend time reading, doing puzzles, and stalking a good bargain.
The family would like to thank Drs. Walsh, Kunapareddy, Jeevan, Mercho, and Yacoub and Hospice of the Wabash Valley for their expertise and compassionate care for Mary Rose throughout the last few years.
Funeral services will be at Greiner Funeral Home, 2005 North 13th Street, Terre Haute at 1:00 on Thursday, April 11, 2019, with Father Dan Bedel officiating. Visitation will be from 4:00-8:00 at Greiner Funeral Home on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 as well as an hour before 1:00 services. Burial will follow at St. Mary Cemetery in Marshall, IL. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Terre Haute Humane Society.


Over £40 million infrastructure investment has been secured for Horley through the granting of planning permission for a major new neighbourhood of 1,510 homes, on land at Meath Green in the north west of the town.
The contributions have been secured through a legal agreement between Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, Surrey County Council and the developers - Crest Nicholson, A2Dominion, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon.
The planning permission for the North West Sector neighbourhood includes: • 1,510 homes, 25% of which will be affordable, for local people • a site for a new primary school • a neighbourhood centre with shops and a community hall and sites for a pub/restaurant, a place of worship, a medical centre and employment space • public open space as part of the Riverside Green Chain • play facilities and two allotment sites • two new access roads linking the development to the A23 and A217, together with associated junction improvements • a high quality bus service linking the development to Horley town centre and beyond • Improved pedestrian and cycle routes linking the new neighbourhood to town centre, local schools and the wider cycle network Over £10m will be provided directly by the developers as part of their development, to provide infrastructure such as new access roads, the laying out of open space and a site for a new primary school.
The developers will also pay £30m to the Borough and County Councils to enable significant investment in highways, public transport, education, leisure and recreation and community infrastructure and service improvements.
The contributions will pay for future investment, as well as contributing to the costs of infrastructure that the Borough and County Councils have already provided as part of the Horley Master Plan, including the building of the Horley Leisure Centre, youth centre and a primary school, improvements to Horley Station, a new transport interchange and local highway schemes.
Cllr Tony Schofield, Executive Member for Planning and Development, said: "This marks a major milestone in delivering the new homes and the infrastructure improvements we have planned for the town, as part of the Horley Master Plan. The development also secures a significant contribution towards the borough's five year housing supply, enabling new homes to be built in a planned manner with the appropriate infrastructure needed to support the development.
Outline planning permission was granted in December 2014, following completion of the legal agreement. The developers will now submit planning applications for the detail of the scheme, including its layout, scale, appearance and landscaping.
Preliminary works are planned to start in the spring with the construction of a temporary access road, followed by a new western access road from the A217. The residential development will then be built in four phases, taking approximately ten years to complete.

Stoners Against Legalization
Just who intends to puff, puff, pass on Proposition 19?
By David Downs
Doug Boehm
Jennifer Soares came out of the closet on April 17, 2010, but not in a gay way. She's a drug lawyer against legalization.
Sitting on a legal panel at the International Cannabis & Hemp Expo at the Cow Palace, Soares was asked by an audience member her thoughts about Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, which will appear on the ballot November 2. With the pungent smell of pot wafting through the endless rows of booths advertising everything from hemp clothing to THC lollipops, Soares nervously spoke into the microphone.
"All I can say is, you guys should read the proposition and make your own decision," she told the crowd of hippies, burners, and industry ilk. "Don't listen to what everybody else has to say. You should read it yourself."
Soares expected her comment to be followed by boos. But it wasn't. Then fellow panelist and noted reformer Bill Panzer added that he wasn't especially fond of Prop 19, either. "That made me feel a little bit more comfortable so I said a couple more things," Soares recalled. "I was very hesitant at first to come out openly against Prop 19, because it's sort of this thing like, 'How can you be pro-legalization but anti-Prop 19? It doesn't make sense?'"
However, the boos started online shortly thereafter. According to Soares, "it just skyrocketed immediately after that."
The lawyer began getting scathing calls at her office. In the wired world of drug law reform, she's become a bit infamous, and the next time she spoke out publicly — at Dr. Greenthumb & Tommy Chong's Spring Gathering in San Bernardino on May 8 — the boos in the crowd were audible.
Though Soares says she does not smoke weed herself, she's part of a group of fringe cannabis activists, growers, dispensary owners, and casual stoners who have aligned with cops, big business, and anti-gay marriage conservatives to denounce the most sweeping attempt at legalizing marijuana in California in thirty years. On the radical left, personal unhappiness with Prop 19 recently boiled over into fiery rhetoric containing lies traditionally told by law enforcement. The debate has crossed the line into physical threats against these so-called "Stoners Against Legalization." And their "no" vote could send the close race down in defeat.
From its inception, Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, was contentious among reformers. If passed, it would treat cannabis similar to how society treats alcohol. That means it would be regulated and taxed. It would also end California's Wild West days of growing pot. Under Prop 19, only adults over 21 could possess and grow a limited amount of cannabis for personal use. They could not give it to those under 21. Smoking marijuana in public or around kids would be forbidden. Furthermore, counties in the state would be able to opt in or opt out of allowing the commercial cultivation and sale of cannabis.
Started by hemp-activist-turned-Oakland-educator Richard Lee, Prop 19 began with a split from more hard-line reformers in the Bay Area. The proposition was the subject of focus groups and tested in polls to attract a majority vote in California, said Lee, sitting in the third-floor lobby of his Oaksterdam University in downtown Oakland. That meant it had to appeal to swing voters like soccer moms who are concerned with keeping drugs away from their kids. Those moms are unhappy that pot is easier to get than alcohol, and would vote for controlling it.
But Lee's centrist plan did not please famed older radicals like Dennis Peron and the late "Hemperor" Jack Herer, who wanted maximum legalization with minimum government involvement. At their most extreme, radical reformers want to throw open the jails and prisons, and grant pardons to all marijuana drug offenders. They want no restriction on giving marijuana to kids and few limits on possession, cultivation, and sales.
Meanwhile, what might be called the mainstream drug law reform community, groups like NORML and the Drug Policy Alliance, has had its own problems with Tax Cannabis 2010. Still smarting from an expensive defeat in 2008 over the Proposition 5 "rehab not jail" initiative, they told Lee not to press forward in 2010. Midterm voters tend to be more conservative, they said. Lee should wait until 2012, when the Obama re-election vote could drive turnout on a legalization initiative.
But Lee liked his odds in 2010. The recession makes California's expensive drug policy less tenable by the day. The Great Depression helped ended alcohol prohibition, he said, and the Great Recession could help end pot prohibition. So Lee pulled $1.4 million out of his Oakland businesses to get enough signatures to place Prop 19 on the ballot. Since then, the entire world has been watching the race, and while mainstream drug law reformers have kept their money out, they're vocally supporting him.
The fringe, however, has different ideas.
Soares represents medical marijuana dispensary owners in Southern California, where she often faces a very hostile environment from local cities and counties. While medical marijuana has flourished in Northern California, places like Anaheim, San Diego, and Irvine have banned dispensaries and continue to fight them in court. It's this heated environment that has turned Soares against Prop 19. Because Prop 19 allows cities and counties to opt in or opt out of commercial sales, she says people in "dry" counties like Orange have no reason to vote for it, because they have nothing to gain. She wants the state to mandate commercial sales of pot in such conservative hotbeds.

Q: DestroyJavaVM thread ALWAYS running When profiling my application I came across a weird behavior - the DestroyJavaVM thread is ALWAYS running - 100% of the time.

After doing a little research on the subject, on which there's hardly any valuable information online, all I understood is that this thread is supposed to unload the JVM upon exit.
If that's the case, why is this thread in RUNNING state 100% of the time from the very first moment I start my application? Doesn't it consume valuable resources and therefore may cause an OutOfMemoryError (like I sometimes get)?
Is there any official reference to what this thread actually does and what triggers its initialization?
Thanks

A: This happens because most applications are run in threads.
All POJO apps start by invoking the main method. In its most simple case, this method will do all of the work, creating objects, calling methods etc. Once main completes, the JVM is told to shut down using a DestroyJavaVM thread which waits for all non-daemon threads to complete before doing its work. This is to ensure that any non-daemon threads you create run to completion before the JVM is torn down.
An app with a GUI, however, normally runs as a number of threads. One for watching for system events such as keyboard or mouse events. One for maintaining the windows and display etc. The main method of this kind of app will probably just start up all the required threads and exit. It still creates the DestroyJavaVM thread but now all that it does is wait for all of your created threads to finish before tearing down the VM.
As a result, any app that creates threads and relies solely on their functionality will always have a DestroyJavaVM thread waiting for it to finish. Since all it is doing is joining all other running threads it does not consume any resources.

A: This barely scratches the surface.  It helps to recognize that there are System-triggered Quits and ForceQuits, and the app must know how to respond without being blocked indefinitely by non-daemon threads.
As a Java programmer, I need to know when the OS is telling the app to close down (so I can save the User's Work).

Soft Power has undergone some significant changes since the show was first conceived. How has the show come to its current form, and how has CTG's support of the project allowed the writers to take risks as they continue to rework the show?
About a year and a half after our first meeting, David told me his idea had transformed into a play that would become a musical—and that he wanted to collaborate with the composer Jeanine Tesori. He explained that he wanted to turn The King and I on its head, and I was completely intrigued by the idea, because I grew up on musicals like The King and I. As a nonprofit regional theatre with three different stages, Center Theatre Group is uniquely capable of creating new works on a grand scale, without the commercialized limitations of Broadway, because we can give a creative team enough space to realize something that is truly special. And that's what I think we've done here.
With the show's opening coming soon, what has the development process looked like as CTG has worked with the writers to prepare for the piece's world premiere?
As a nonprofit regional theatre, we're responsible for not only maintaining the art form but pushing it forward by commissioning and developing and producing new plays. So we've done everything we can to support this creative team over the course of the past four years, including 13 readings and workshops before rehearsals even began.
What about this show are you most excited to share with your audiences?
There is nothing better in the world than working on a new musical. This is a chance to see what two brilliant artists are going to do with a great, extremely relevant idea.
Why should everyone mark their calendars so they don't miss Soft Power?
This is the first collaboration between David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori, and it promises to be the biggest opening to hit Los Angeles this year.

Tim Hicks "Shake These Walls" tour did just that at the FirstOntario Concert Hall, previous known as Hamilton Place Theatre on January 19th, 2017. This was my first concert at this venue, but it won't be my last. In fact I got way more excited for the upcoming Dean Brody concert (April 25,2017) because it will be held at this venue. The sound in this theatre blew me away. It wasn't only the walls that were shaking, I was seated in the balcony and it shook with all the foot stomping.
Tim Hick's is the real thing boys and girls, he's truly the nicest guy, humble as a Canadian should be and talented as all that. From the first note out of his mouth to the last, I was thoroughly impressed. "His "voice was flawless", "what a voice" My wife said a few times on our way home. Do yourselves favour, go see Tim and sing along to "Stronger Beer", the song that wasn't supposed to be a song. It's a song about the differences between Canada and the USA. It has the Stompin' Tom Connors' "Hockey Song" effect on its listeners, I think it's therapeutic.
On the way home, Mikey (Mike Fuller) over at KX94.7fm decided to play Tim Hicks "Stompin Ground" . Well, the radio was turned up loud and we sang along with like we did live only a few minutes prior. Thanks a lot Mikey… we were trying to settle down so we could get to sleep when we got home.
On a serious note, get out and support our home-grown talent. We are bombarded with a lot of publicity from the mega labels in the USA and forget about our local singers, song writers and musicians. I assure you Canadian talent would kick their asses, if our Canadian artists had the same amount of money and marketing power behind them. I'm not saying they're not as talented in the USA, but I am saying that our talent is more genuine, sincere and truly appreciative of their fans. Don't believe me, go see some of them and try to prove me wrong.


Approximately 2.4 billion people live on less than US$2 a day. Families stuck in the poverty trap have limited economic opportunities, often failing to grow enough crops to sell or toiling away as odd job labourers. Some parents leave their children behind in search of work. Some send their children to cities or across the border to earn money. You can enable families to stand on their own feet by equipping struggling members of our communities with skills in generating income. This includes animal husbandry, farming and repairs, providing micro-loans to set up small businesses and facilitating the formation of community savings groups.

About Anthony Manly (i.e., My Story)
This page is about me, Anthony Manly, if you're interested.
Hi, may name is Anthony Manly and the sad truth is that my "about page" has always been blank.
So, after starring at a blank page for what seems like years I've decided to go out on a limb, and finally write this page, let my nerdy over achiever flag fly, and hopefully give you a deeper sense of who I am… in the hope that someday when we meet you'll give me a deeper understanding of who you are.
I'm doing this because…
Telling You Anything Else But the Story of My Journey is a Disservice
For some time now, my about page has been blank across all my group of websites. It has been a page that I've always been scared to write and in some respects I wanted it to be a page that I could only show to my family. I wanted it to be the kind of about page that wouldn't raise red flags to prospects and potential clients.
It was safe having a blank page.
However, I'm going to do something different because in this society ….the so-called "successful people" (at least financially successful ones are usually portrayed as being highly productive, early risers who work hard, have their ducks in a row, get a lot done, set goals, and do all the stuff that Tony Robbins, David Allen, and Peter Drucker say to do.
And not only do I think this portrayal is unfortunate…
...but it's also 100%, first class bullshit.
In my case, it's always been better to ignore almost everything and instead focus only on things that give me the most amount of happiness.
Anyway, I really want to drive the point home: Despite what publicists who write press bios WANT you to think, it is complete myth that financial successful people and market leaders have their shit together, have their so called ducks in a row.
So, I'm going to try and something a little different, because I've seen person after person tell neat and organized and linear and sensible stories about how their businesses became successful (even thought that's rarely the way it works out)
I'm doing this because people have been told an outright fucking lie about what creates business success.
So Here Goes
I'm going to share my story with you and talk about some of the stuff that's worked.
And a lot, a whole lot, of the stuff that didn't (with the ugly details in there as well… because frankly, I think you'll learn a lot more from my flaws than from the stuff that worked)
But first, before I take us off to the deep end, let me show you the official fancy bio that everyone expects.
So here's the official fancy bio
"Anthony Manly is a business coach who, upon graduating with a Bachelors degree at the age of 22 in Biological Science, decided to pursue a role with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
After 5 years with the ATO he quit and completed further studies obtaining a Graduate Diploma of Information Technology and then further being selected by Universities faculty to complete a Masters of Information Technology.
After successfully graduating in the top 10 of his year he managed his own company successfully delivering Information Technology Consulting services. This led Anthony to quickly pursue his second business delivering stock market education. This business was successful until the global financial crisis of 2008 happened which quickly lead to a pivot from entrepreneur to an employee in the corporate banking world.
At first, Anthony, was struggled with the transition from entrepreneur to employee however over time he began to deliver successful results to the corporate projects he was employed to deliver on.
So that's the clean version. The neat and simple version that my family is supposed to see. The version I was supposed to write
Here's the longer, more complicated, messy version
Let's start out with some of the dirt and flaws, because there are a lot of them.
Hmmmm…where to begin
I can get perhaps, maximum, three things (and I mean, three things) done per day. Of those three things, one is my morning routine, one is creating content for my community and the other is spending time with my daughter. So, if you really think about it I can only get one thing done a day.
I simply cannot, for the fucking life of me get to bed before midnight. And I really don't function without a full 8 hours of sleep, although I prefer to.
I'm about as productive as a newborn turtle that's attempting to get to the water upon hatching when you remove a few spiritual practices from my life. For example, I need to meditate everyday (and be grateful for the life I have).
I struggle with a daily schedule and quite often attempt to complete things that cannot be completed in the time I allocate to them.
I always leave critical things to the last minute in the hope that I produce a diamond out of the rough only to realize I need to extend the time needed to complete the task.
When I was in high school my peers thought I was an outright uncoordinated weirdo, who was clearly crazy and not in his right mind (the part about not being in the right mind is totally true)
I am pretty much 100% incapable of doing anything that I don't find immensely interesting
It's nearly impossible to reach me. Not because I think I'm better than everyone else. It's just like a handicap or something …I'm really bad at responding to voicemails, email messages etc Right now there are over 6000 emails in my personal email inbox about half of which are unread. I want to respond to every single message, but that somehow never happens. (That said, EVERY SINGLE customer email and business email received gets answered promptly by our customer service team, who are highly trained and 100% dedicated to providing fanatical customer service)
Anyway, despite all this, I've been blessed to have a company that's almost growing both in sales and momentum each year, and allows me to live the life I live.
How I Learned About Business and Purpose
I was born here in Sydney Australia and my parents moved to the nations capital, Canberra, when I was about 2 or 3 or something.
I was the kid with the crusty the clown hairdo (bright red hair) and was the tallest kid in every year of primary school. Commonly referred to as carrot top despite my correction to everyone, who referred to me in this way, that corrot tops are green and not red.
In my free time I improved the fine art of picking the plumbs and figs off our Yugoslavian neighbors fruit trees (they had a whole backyard of vegetables), sorting the fruit into freezer bags, and then wondering the streets knocking on peoples doors selling these bags to people at $2 a bag. The profit was swiftly spent on paddle pops and twisties so I could enter the competions to win TVs, computer games etc. Mind you I never did win anything.
I would also pester my mum to continually help me with my homework that I always struggled to understand what it was I needed to do or whatever it was that I wanted to achieve.
While hanging out with my mum she quickly became my hero. She was the opposite of my dad, always home on weekends and she just liked to hang out with my sister and me and do things around the house.
She always appeared to be a simple lady.
But when it came to doing what she loved, helping others with her entrepreneurial spirit, there was no screwing around.
What I learned from my mum was that helping others is the key to serve people and build rapport that can last a lifetime.
What I also learned form my mother is that the greatest impact comes from focusing and improving on one seemingly "simple" thing for a sustained period of time.
But my mum didn't have to write manifestos about helping others. When I was 14 years old my mum said something that has stuck with me ever since.
She said "too many people are working in jobs they don't have a passion for… I love listening to people and their life stories so that I know exactly how I can help them and that's what I know, so that's what I do"
Somehow when I heard her say this I knew I wanted what she had
Although back then I really didn't have the language to express it… when I was fourteen years old I longed for the freedom (yes freedom) to focus my entire lifetime on constantly working to improve "one" ever-evolving thing. I wanted to find and work on that one thing that I could do meaningfully and joyfully for the rest of my life.
We all have our own equally and valid definitions of freedom. But as early as fourteen years old I felt deep down that, for me, freedom was NOT a low-hour work week or pulling off unconventional lifestyle design stunts or running a business from a laptop while I travel around the world in a hot air balloon (or anything like that).
Freedom to me, has always been the possession of unquestionable and unequivocal assurance in what I must do. And the complete lack of will power to do anything else.
But for me "Freedom" was a time coming and today I get to listen to peoples stories and help them achieve their idea of Freedom through starting, growing and scaling a business they have passion for.

Currently, when keepstore is trying to read a block, if one Azure-backed volume encounters a 503 error and all other volumes return 404, keepstore returns 404 to its client. This is a non-retryable error so the client will give up.
The correct behavior is to return a 502 or 503 status in this situation.
storage: service returned error: StatusCode=503, ErrorCode=ServerBusy, ErrorMessage=The server is busy.
When requesting a block, if keepstore gets errors from all of its volumes, the error that was being returned to the client was 404 no matter which error the volumes returned.
Now, when receiving a VolumeBusyError (transient error) from a volume backend, keepstore will return a 503 status so that the client can retry instead of mistakenly believe that the block is not there.
Small nit pick, I would update the comment for TestGetHandler to include your test scenario. Otherwise, LGTM.

London, 1 February 2019: Today, The Folio Society and House of Illustration are thrilled to announce the longlist for the annual Book Illustration Competition (#BIC2019).
Now in its ninth year, The Book Illustration Competition is a partnership between The Folio Society and House of Illustration. To date, the competition has distributed nearly £60,000 worth of prizes and has received thousands of entries.
This year from over 500 excellent entries, an increase of 17% on last year, 25 have been selected for the longlist. The winner will receive a prestigious £5,000 commission from The Folio Society to illustrate their new edition of Diana Wynne Jones's Howl's Moving Castle. Five other shortlisted entrants will each receive £500.

The difficult task of selecting the longlist fell to Sheri Gee, Art Director at The Folio Society, and Colin McKenzie, Director of House of Illustration.
Entries were received from 47 countries including the USA, Brazil, Singapore, New Zealand and Armenia, and over 30% of them were from students.
This year also sees the return of the popular stand alone People's Choice award. Voted for online (http://bicpeopleschoice.org), the People's Choice can be selected from any of the longlisted entries.The People's Choice winning artist and one member of the public who voted for them will receive £100 worth of books from The Folio Society and a one-year membership to House of Illustration.
The shortlist and the winner will be selected from the longlist by Laura Cecil, literary agent for Diana Wynne Jones; Sheri Gee, Art Director and Sophie Lewis, Editor both from The Folio Society; Colin McKenzie, Director and Olivia Ahmad, Curator both from House of Illustration and Max Löffler, winner of the Book Illustration Competition 2018.
The awards will be announced at an exclusive ceremony at House of illustration on 26 February 2019.

Thomas Dyer House, Springfield, Mass

The house in 2017:
This house was built in 1910, and was one of many homes in Forest Park that were designed by G. Wood Taylor, a prominent local architect of the early 20th century. It was originally the home of Thomas and Florence Dyer, who lived here for a few years. During this time, Thomas worked for an advertising company in Springfield, but by the end of the 1910s he had become a dairy farmer. He and Florence moved out of this house and purchased the Kingoke Farm in Sixteen Acres, at the present-day corner of Parker Street and South Branch Parkway. They operated the farm here for many years, and Thomas even served as the city's police commissioner in the 1930s.
In the meantime, their home here in Forest Park was purchased by Charles N. Bancroft, the traffic manager for the Indian Motocycle Company. He did not stay here long either, though, and was living in Longmeadow by 1930. In 1933, several years before the first photo was taken, the house was purchased by Dr. Robert J. Klein and his wife Della, and they lived here for the rest of their lives, until Della's death in 1967 and Robert's in 1972. Since then, the exterior of the house has remained unchanged, and in 1982 the property became part of the Forest Park Heights Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.

Converse Street, Longmeadow, Mass

The view in 2016:
The two photos on the left are the same ones seen in the previous post, and this view shows some of the development along the western end of Converse Street that was happening in the 1910s. Part of the South Park Terrace development, most of the houses along Converse Street had just been built when the first photo was taken, and more would be added in this area as Longmeadow became a major suburb of Springfield. In the century since the first photo was taken, Converse Street has been paved, and the end was angled a bit to share a traffic light with Englewood Road on the other side of Longmeadow Street, but otherwise not much has changed in this scene, and most of the historic early 20th century homes here are still standing.

Graves House, Longmeadow, Mass

This view provides an interesting side-by-side comparison of two different architectural styles from around the turn of the century. Although built only a few years apart, these two houses represent a shift in style that was happening during this time. The house on the left was built around 1900, and it is an example of Queen Anne architecture, which was popular in the last few decades of the Victorian era. This particular house is actually a fairly subdued version of it; a typical Queen Anne house is usually highly decorative, with plenty of ornamentation and a complex combination of design features. A good example of this can be seen in this Springfield mansion from a previous post. This Longmeadow house was built towards the end of the style's popularity, but it still has some of the common features, especially with its bay windows, wraparound porch, and asymmetrical design.
The house on the right, on the other hand, represents the Craftsman style of architecture that was gaining popularity just as Queen Anne was falling out of fashion. It was largely a response to the perceived excess of the Victorian era and, by extension, its often gaudy architecture. Rather than decorating houses with excessive amounts of ornamentation, the idea behind the Craftsman style was to simplify, and emphasize quality of workmanship. The house here, which was originally the home of insurance agent Bernard E. Graves and his wife Mary, was built around 1906, near the beginning of this style's popularity. Over a century later, both it and the Queen Anne house remain well-preserved examples of their respective architectural styles, and aside from the shutters on the house and shed in the backyard, it is hard to notice any differences in these two photographs.

The street in 2016:
This street is a block north of Bliss Road, which is seen in the previous post. Like Bliss Road, Belleclaire Avenue was part of the rapid suburban development that was occurring in Longmeadow in the first two decades of the 20th century. Most of the homes here were built around 1915, with a variety of designs that reflect the popular Craftsman-style architecture of the era. Since the first photo was taken, little has changed here. A few houses, like the one on the far right, were added soon after, and the trees have grown up, but otherwise the street looks much the same as it did almost a century ago.

Bliss Road, Longmeadow, Mass

Bliss Road in 2016:
As Springfield grew in population in the early 20th century, so did Longmeadow to the south. From a population of just over 800 in 1900, the town more than tripled by 1920 as large tracts of land were subdivided and developed. This was the case here on Bliss Road, where most of the houses here were newly built when the first photo was taken. The two houses on the right are slightly older, dating to about 1905-1910, but the rest, including the row of Craftsman-style bungalows on the left, were built around 1915.
Very little has changed here in the past 98 years; the Bliss Road went from a dirt road to one of the main east-west roads in town, but otherwise the houses are all still standing, with a couple of new ones in the distance. Even small details, like the fire hydrant on the right side of the road, remain today, and I have to wonder if some of the telephone poles from the first photo are still there too.


Well, the headline pretty much sums the story up, but we are talking about something very special here. We are talking "breaking the mould" in such a way that there simply wont be any going back and for petrol heads like me, this is a time of sadness, as we've always believed what our mothers told us and that was "there is no substitute for cubic centimeters", so to find out our dear old mums could be proven wrong is mighty hard.
Don't know if you are aware, but engine technology has been going mad over the past few years, primarily in an effort to reduce what's referred to as "harmful Co2 emissions" and in face of rising fuel costs, increase each vehicles MPG and its got to be said, to a man, the guys who design our cars have done a pretty good job. Having said that, paraphrasing Napolean and the pigs in Animal Farm "some are more equal than others" and this new Ford engine is as equal as it gets!
We are talking here of a 1.0 3 cylinder engine that's produces 125ps. We have tested this engine in Fords latest Focus and you will see from our road test just what we thought about it.
Ford's new 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine – which was launched to widespread acclaim this year in the Ford Focus, in Europe – is named 2012 "International Engine of the Year". The small, high-tech, three-cylinder engine also received two other awards – "Best New Engine" and "Best Engine Under 1.0-litre" – in the awards presented by Engine Technology International magazine, based on votes cast by 76 journalists from 35 countries around the world.
This is the first time Ford has won International Engine of the Year in the 13-year history of the awards. Ford's debut as International Engine of the Year winner in the awards' 13-year history is marked by the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine also attaining the highest score ever.
Dean Slavnich, chairman of the International Engine of the Year awards and editor of Engine Technology International magazine, said: "This is a fitting victory for a truly remarkable engine. For a three-cylinder to power a vehicle like the Ford Focus with such ease proves that the future is very, very bright for the internal combustion engine.
"If downsizing is the way ahead, there is currently no better example than this. Same power as the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre engine it replaces, and much punchier to drive," said UK-based journalist John Simister.
"With good torque at the very low end, this high-tech three-cylinder turbo gives the driving performance of a small turbo diesel, but without noise and vibrations," said Christophe Congrega of France's L'Automobile Magazine.
The International Engine of the Year judging panel of automotive journalists consider drivability, performance, economy, refinement and the successful application of advanced engine technology. The popularity of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost with judges saw it receive 28 per cent more points than its closest rival as well as the highest points total of any engine in the competition's history.
Development of the award-winning engine – small enough to fit on an A4 sheet of paper – was led by the UK's Dunton technical Centre in Essex, with assistance from other Ford European technical centres.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine debuted this year on the Ford Focus in Europe.
The new Focus 1.0-litre EcoBoost 100PS delivers outstanding fuel efficiency of 58.9mpg* and CO2emissions of 109g/km. The 125PS model returns 56.5mpg* with CO2 emissions of 114g/km.

Movie Review #510: "Keeping Up With the Joneses" (2016)
Movie: "Keeping Up With the Joneses"
Director: Greg Motolla
Jeff and Karen Gaffney (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher) are an average suburban couple whose life is turned asunder when they discover their new neighbors, the Joneses (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot) are actually spies who are investigating crimes at Jeff's place of employment.
"Keeping Up With the Joneses" is directed by Greg Mottola, who is known for his excellent films "Superbad," "Adventureland," and "Paul." It is written by Michael LeSieur, who is best know for penning the awful movie "You, Me, and Dupree." Knowing this, the question becomes: will this offering be more like the great stuff we've seen from Mottola, or more like the crap we've seen from LeSier? Unfortunately for the Joneses, it is most definitely the latter.
The spy comedy genre has made a bit of a resurgence. Lately, we have seen this type of film pop up again and again, mostly from last year's outrageously hilarious "Spy," the slightly more action-oriented, tongue-in-cheek "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," and even earlier this year with the charming "Central Intelligence," all of which are funnier than "Keeping Up With the Joneses." This story revolves around an average suburban couple named Jeff and Karen Gaffney, played by Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher. When their new neighbors, Tim and Natalie Jones, played by Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, move in right across the street, the two couples begin to strike up a friendship, though something doesn't seem quite right about the far-too-perfect Joneses. As the Gaffney's (mostly Karen) get a bit nosy, they quickly discover the Joneses aren't who they say they are and are actually government spies on a mission to stop some microchips from getting into the wrong hands.
This film runs through the typical fish-out-of-water scenario we're so used to seeing in this genre. In the beginning, it's super spies Tim and Natalie trying to live the suburban lifestyle, regularly showing up their neighbors with their fancy fashion, their exotic stories of traveling abroad, and their dart throwing prowess. Then, halfway through the movie, the script flips and puts Jeff and Karen in the spy setting as they clumsily fumble and bumble their around computer files, and run and scream their way through several dangerous situations like car chases and death-defying jumps out of buildings. Jeff also attempts to use his ability to "read people" and his skills as an HR consultant to coax information out of a captive. We're bummed to say the laughs are few and far between because most of the even remotely comedic moments are on full display in the trailer for this film. Of course, "Keeping Up With the Joneses" is not completely devoid of humor and we did chuckle on occasion, but more often than not, everything found here is something we've seen better executed elsewhere.
At the end of the day, "Keeping Up With the Joneses" is simply a miss for us. Everything about it feels safe and cheap somehow, less than what we were hoping. There action scenes aren't put together very well and seem to fall short in excitement and humor for something billed as an action comedy. No one performance stands out because they all feel like paycheck/contractually obligated performances for everyone involved. We don't remember a whole lot about the characters because they aren't all that memorable. This movie is the first real big miss for director Greg Mottola and this marks back-to-back failures for Galifianakis as a leading man. Maybe he should stay in the background as long as he can.
BigJ's Rating: 4/10
Do we recommend this movie: No.
