The spring-driven, eight-day movement of this travelling clock is constructed between plates. It consists of going and striking trains. The going train has a fusee and anchor escapement with a short pendulum. The rack-striking train indicates the hour fully and the half-hours with a single stroke on a bell, situated under the case. The clock is wound from the rear side. In addition the clock has an alarm, which is wound by pulling a chord and set by a central blued-steel pointer on the chapter ring.
The convex circular enamelled dial has a Roman chapter ring with Arabic five-minute and minute divisions. The time is indicated by a fine pair of symmetrically pierced gilt-brass hands. The dial is protected by a convex glass set in a moulded gilt-brass bezel, embellished by a pearl string. Above the dial are date and day apertures, the latter showing an abbreviated name of the day in French.
The rectangular arched bronzed-brass case of this travelling clock has gilt-brass ribbon and leaf-vine swag ornaments on the front. There is a medallion in the arch depicting a head in a sunburst surround. Below the dial is an enamelled signature plaque: Beckera Invenit et Fecit. The plaque is flanked by two leaf ornaments. The case is surmounted by a gilt-brass carrying handle, as well as four shaped finials on the corners. There is a glazed door at the back giving access to the pendulum and the winding arbors. The whole rests on four shaped gilt-brass feet.
Antoine Beckers (Beckera) was born in Paris in 1726. He was apprenticed in 1743. In 1775 he was active in the Rue des Condeliers and in the years 1777-1779 in the Rue Guénégaud.

Remembering and honouring 'soldiers' of Christ
By Gordon Zerbe |
In Philippians 2:25-30, the Apostle Paul advises the violently besieged Christian community in Philippi to grant special "honours" to a "fellow-soldier" who has "risked his life" in service of Christ. The cadre of Jesus loyalists, suffering under pressure from Roman imperial authority, is invited by Paul to take up a unified but nonviolent defence in the face of those who would want Christ's global "citizen community" destroyed (Philippians 1:27-30, 4:5). In effect, Paul asks the congregation to grant one of their own the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" in Commonwealth countries.
Other letters help us appreciate the varied ways that Paul applies military imagery not only to God's "battle" to free humans from bondage to various levels of cosmic and human "powers," but also to the "struggle"—a military term—that Christians find themselves in at the time.
But they are a very strange sort of soldier, taking up and putting on only the virtues (fidelity, love, hope, righteousness, goodness, purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, truth, prayer) as their defensive attire and offensive "weapons" (I Thessalonians 5:8; II Corinthians 6:6-7; Romans 6:13, 12:21, 13:14, 15:30; and Ephesians 6:15).
And they "wage war" of an unusual kind, seeing beyond what appears on the surface of human social and political reality (II Corinthians 10:1-18), ultimately engaged only in God's warfare of love to restore the universe.
The use of military imagery by Paul and other New Testament writers needs to be carefully weighed, especially since it is intimately tied up with his peace theology. This usage certainly does not mean that Paul endorses Roman imperial militarism, or any other kind of earthly use of lethal force. It does not necessarily mean that Paul's rhetoric permits or promotes crusader violence or legitimizes violence in God's name. It does not mean that we should use military imagery uncritically in our modern context, without reflecting on its violent potentiality.
It does mean, though, that Paul lived and worked in a context steeped with military practice and imagery. It does mean that Paul understands peace not as passivity, but as a striving peacemaking towards a peace won through militant struggle. It does reflect Paul's commitment to the God of liberating, transforming justice. It does mean that Paul envisioned God's warfare of love as ultimately bringing an end to war and war machinery. In a very important way, Paul uses military language while attempting to subvert all military violence.
So, then, how do we as Christians honour our "war" heroes near and far?

Quebecers launch coalition against EI reform
A Quebec coalition of unions launched a province-wide campaign Monday to protest against the federal government's EI reform.
Giant banner hoisted at Jacques Cartier Bridge to kick off campaign
CBC News · Posted: Mar 04, 2013 7:57 AM ET | Last Updated: March 5, 2013
A coalition of unions plan protests across Quebec to fight federal EI reform, Salimah Shivji reports 2:13
A Quebec coalition of unions has launched a campaign against employment insurance reform, and to mark the event a large banner was hoisted in front of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, greeting Montreal commuters with a message against Ottawa's EI changes.
The large poster, hanging from a crane, showed a photo of Prime Minister Stephen Harper with French text that reads: "Quebecers say 'no' to the gutting of employment insurance."
Members of the new coalition
Labour Unions: FTQ, CSN, CSQ, CSD, SFPQ
Groups representing rights of unemployed individuals: MASSE, CNC
Reforms to employment insurance have spurred thousands to protest across Eastern Canada, many of them seasonal workers who believe the new rules are unfair.
The changes require workers to travel up to 100 kilometres and to accept jobs that pay as little as 70 per cent of their previous hourly wage — providing that is not below the province's minimum wage rate.
On Monday, representatives from five labour unions and the two main organizations representing unemployed people announced the launch of the new coalition in downtown Montreal.
"The government is blinded by its ideology. It's refusing to take into account the disastrous consequences of this reform," the coalition said in a statement.

Foodalution: Flax seeds... Really, do I have to?
1 T flax seed with 2 T water, mixed, equals one egg in baking recipes. Just another way to get flax into your diet.
Ok, I may give them another try. You definitely make them sound worth it and your recipe sounds really yummy!
Great! Yes, grind them - they add a lovely nuttiness!!
Hi Meg, Gary juices every night and used to add freshly ground flax seeds until, one day he noticed and "white" spot on the back of his hand. Over the next three weeks the spots became more prevalent. It turns out that too much flax can cause Vitalago(Michael Jackson skin disease). As soon as he stopped the flax, the spots began to fade. Now he adds just a small amount of flax and has added a good dose of Chia seeds to his juice.
@ Vegan Aide - Thank you for that tip... I have not cut out eggs out of my diet yet.. but I am making a cake today, I should try this substitute! Thank you!
@ Chef D and Nancy... let me know what you make with these little fellas, I am curious as to other peoples creations... I do put them into my homemade granola... once they are toasted they seem to chew up much easier... and they are toasted with maple syrup and coconut oil so they have to taste good after that.
I like incorporating them into breads, and sometimes even cookies. Is that defeating the point? Maybe but it makes me feel better about eating bread and cookies! They actually add a pleasant texture to baked goods!
Love the breakfast smoothie recipe, will be trying!
Glad you all like the smoothie recipe. I change it up every day, but my staples are the pineapple and cherries..about 8 or so..sometimes I throw in some Stevia.. and we have this wonderful farmer who picks his Romaine when it is small.. I just love it, it is much sweeter. I also like kale or chard..and Spinach.. another good add. Add more of what you love!
Nice smoothie! I actually really like golden flax seeds. I just made a flax egg with some organic golden flax seeds. It works pretty well as an egg substitute.
I love the title of this post...too funny! I really like ground flax in smoothies, and I do add it to muffin and bread recipes occasionally as well.
Sweet! I have not tried Flax seed but is taking Cod liver oil and not a good idea to put that in smoothies lol.


After its most prominent and best season ever in 2017, the BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship once again headed to Kent and Brands Hatch for the opening three rounds of the 2018 campaign. Many of the familiar faces and names that had graced last year's grid were back to try and dethrone champion Will Blackwell-Chambers, who came into the season proudly displaying the #1 on his car. That said, there were also some new drivers to throw into the mix as they readied themselves for their first campaign in an MX-5 on BRSCC shores.
The first qualifying group had to tackle slightly damp conditions on Saturday morning as the overnight rain had somewhat saturated the track since the previous day's testing. Nevertheless, they were eventually forced to reside as the slower of the two groups, with Blackwell-Chambers starting as he meant to go on. He posted the fastest lap of the group, almost 0.6 seconds up on the second-best time by Stuart Symonds. Teddy Clark, now with BC Cars after Blendini Motorsport decided to move away from Mazdas for 2018, notched up an impressive 3rd fastest time just a tenth slower than Symonds, as Marcus Bailey and Martin Tolley rounded off the top 5 as the two fastest masters drivers. Paul Bateman made a welcome return to grab P6, with the rest of the top 10 filled out by Jason Greatrex, a newcomer to the BRSCC in Sebastian Fisher, Oliver Robinson and Courtney Milnes.
Come the second session the track had dried significantly, meaning that this group would be the one battling for overall pole position. That honour fell to Samuel Smith, eager to get his title chase underway in the best possible fashion. His best lap left him a mere 0.066 seconds up on Brian Trott, while AB Motorsport stablemates Oliver Allwood and John Langridge slotted in neatly behind in 3rd and 4th fastest. Charlie Burge completed the top 5 times, with Adam Craig 6th and Smith's team boss Mike Comber only managing 7th fastest. Stephen Foden took his new car to the 8th best time, ahead of Michael Fisk and Clive Powles, who ended this season as best Masters driver.
The grid line-up for the opening Group A race of the season made pleasant viewing for Mike Comber Racing as Smith took his place on pole alongside Blackwell-Chambers. Trott and Symonds made it an AB Motorsport lockout on row 2, ahead of fellow AB driver Allwood and Teddy Clark. Langridge and Bailey took up residence on the fourth row with the top 10 finished off by Charlie Burge and fastest Masters driver Martin Tolley.
Smith duly led off the line from pole and maintained his position throughout the opening lap, heading a train of four cars also featuring Blackwell-Chambers, Allwood and Trott and pretty soon the quartet began pulling away together, leaving 5th placed Tolley in no-mans-land somewhat a couple of seconds back. Blackwell-Chambers sensed the best opportunity to take the lead on lap 8 and from there he proceeded to put his foot down and increase the lead gap. Initially, Smith did his best to keep up with WB-C and was able to keep the lead gap below 1 second over the next few laps, but eventually his rear guard defence against both Allwood and Trott behind him was causing him to lose time to his teammate in front.
From there, the order remained just about unchanged and Blackwell-Chambers began in almost identical fashion to that of a year ago at the same venue. He took the win by a comfortable 2.1 seconds, but behind things changed in the final laps. Smith looked set to secure second, but Allwood had other ideas and on Lap 18 the opportunity to pounce presented itself. Allwood grabbed it and was just able to keep Smith and Trott at bay for the remainder of the race as they all finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. Martin Tolley came through by himself somewhat to complete the top 5 and a comfortable Masters victory, but behind him the pack had been all over each other throughout the entire 20 minutes. 6th place was mainly swapped several times between Charlie Burge and John Langridge with each taking turns for a few laps before positions were traded.
By the flag, Burge ended up as the driver in front with Langridge 7th, but as had been the case up front, their battles had brought others into play. Stuart Symonds finished just behind in 8th, with Teddy Clark and Mike Comber completing the top 10, as the field from 6th down to 13th all crossed the line only 3.5 seconds apart. Drivers relegated from Group A were Marcus Bailey thanks to a time penalty, William Hayden, Clive Powles, Bill Taylor and the non-finishing Paul Bateman.
For the first Group B race, made up of the second halves of both qualifying groups, rookie Jack Moody found himself in the pole position grid slot for his very first race! He would line up alongside Simon Woods, with Paul Tucker and Charlie Rawles on the second row behind them. Ivan Leary took up 5th next to another newcomer in Charles Mugglestone, while fellow debutant Matthew Pollard sat in 7th place with Nick Le Doyen sharing the 4th row. The top 10 was rounded off by Clapham North's George Grant and Adrian Burge.
Tucker wasted no time as he picked up the best launch off the line from Row 2 and led the field around the opening lap. Woods slotted into 2nd place behind him with Moody doing well to reclaim 3rd from the fast-starting Nick Le Doyen after losing it moments after the start. As the leaders in Group A had done somewhat in their earlier race, both Tucker and Woods managed to pull clear with the former extending an advantage of just over 2 seconds by Lap 9. Moody was impressively holding his own in 3rd place over the first half of the race, but moving into the second part, he began to be caught by Charlie Rawles, who brought the margin down to virtually nothing by the end of Lap 13. It only took a couple more laps for Rawles to overhaul Moody, who then pushed on in is efforts to try and catch Woods.
Rawles' lap times instantly signalled that he was quicker, and Woods' cause wasn't helped while trying to negotiate lapped traffic as well as keep one eye on the mirrors. Rawles would take at least half a second per lap out of Woods' advantage, but despite a superb effort to bring the #101 almost within his grasp, he just ran out of laps. Tucker, meanwhile, was able to cruise home by only a fraction over 3 seconds to take the Group B win, with Woods able to prevent his 2nd place gap reducing any lower than 0.7 seconds. Moody secured a valiant 4th place on his debut race with Le Doyen completing the top 5, followed by Adrian Burge, Matthew Pollard, Anthony Hutchins, Callum Greatrex and Alan Hawkins. As per the regulations, the top 5 of Tucker, Woods, Rawles, Moody and Le Doyen all earned promotion into Group A for their second race.
Will Blackwell-Chambers lined up on pole for the first time this season for the second Group A race with Allwood perched alongside for company on the front row. Smith and Trott took up the second row, ahead of Tolley and Burge on Row 3. Langridge and Symonds performed a fourth-row lockout for AB Motorsport, ahead of Teddy Clark and Mike Comber who rounded off the top 10 starters.
This time, Blackwell-Chambers was able to take the lead from the get-go and stay there, with Smith, Allwood and Trott once again following suit. Initially, WB-C managed to quickly pull a 1.7-second advantage by the end of the opening lap, but Smith began to take tenths out of it over the next few tours and eventually brought the gap down to virtually nothing, as they circulated nose-to-tail with the AB Motorsport pair of Allwood and Trott keeping them company. Just after Race 1, it was revealed on the podium the top 4 had made a gentleman's agreement to stick together and pull away as much as possible from the rest of the field for the first half of the, before electing to begin battling over the victory throughout the second half. This appeared to be the situation again, as the quartet managed to push out a gap of more than 5 seconds by half distance, but by this point both MCR cars in the top 2 places had managed to edge themselves away from Allwood and Trott, and the former was getting away from the latter at the same time.
At times, Smith looked as though he was in position to steal the lead and on one occasion had to stand on the anchors while following Blackwell-Chambers into Paddock Hill Bend after the #1 defended a potential attack, just to avoid making contact! But thankfully this never occurred and as before in Race 1, the two teammates ran line astern all the way to the finish with Blackwell-Chambers doing the double from Smith. Allwood moved away from Trott to the tune of some 4.7 seconds by the flag to secure 3rd, while Martin Tolley had a little more company in 5th position by the time the end of the race came around.
While Charlie Burge held 6th in the opening laps, John Langridge made the moves he needed to take it from him and then subsequently keep it while bringing the rest of the group (Burge and Mike Comber) along with him to chase after Tolley.Ultimately Langridge remained 6th ahead of Burge and Comber with Michael Fisk and Stuart Symonds completing the top 10. Relegated from Group A on this occasion were Simon Woods, Charlie Rawles, Nick Le Doyen, Oliver Robinson and Jack Moody.
Marcus Bailey was the driver that found himself on pole for the second Group B race, starting alongside William Hayden and then ahead of Clive Powles and Bill Taylor. Paul Bateman and Adrian Burge made up the third row from Matthew Pollard and Anthony Hutchins, while Callum Greatrex and Alan Hawkins took up residence at the bottom of the top 10 on the grid.
Not being a stranger to MX-5 racing in the slightest, Bailey wasted no time in commanding the lead from pole position as he quickly built up a lead of almost 2 seconds by the end of lap 5. However, the next few laps would see that early advantage begin to evaporate as Powles took just over a second out of the lead over the next 5 laps. Just a couple of tours of the Indy circuit later, Powles was within striking distance of Bailey as he began to apply pressure. It paid off quickly as Bailey capitulated on lap 14, but despite Powles making the move to hit the front, he couldn't pull away as Bailey had done in the early stages. Bailey had enough pace left to keep with the #18 as they progressed through the second half of the race.
By the chequered flag, the top two positions remained unchanged as Powles took the flag by just 0.2 seconds from Bailey, while in 3rd place Paul Bateman made up somewhat for his opening race retirement by taking a quiet but solid podium finish to make it back into Group A. That said, he did have to fend off attentions from both William Hayden and Alan Hawkins in the first half of the race, before creating a gap as they squabbled amongst themselves behind him. Their own battle was broken up by Matthew Pollard, who proceeded to take P4 while Adrian Burge did well to recover from a slow start to pick up the last top 5 promotion spot for the final race on Sunday. Alan Hawkins survived to take 6th place ahead of Ivan Leary and Anthony Hutchins, with Bryn Griffiths and Bill Taylor completing the top 10. As for Hayden, he finished 9th on the road but was disqualified for driving standards as per the MSA regulations.
For the second time this weekend, Will Blackwell-Chambers started from pole position with teammate Smith again taking up residence on the front row alongside him. Allwood and Trott knew their objectives starting on the second row, while Tolley and Langridge looked set for a battle from Row 3. Charlie Burge and Mike Comber were raring to go from the fourth row, with Michael Fisk and Stuart Symonds completing the top 10 line-up.
Smith did as he had done in Race 1 from pole and leaped into the lead by Paddock Hill Bend, holding on for the opening lap and then proceeding to drag the usual trio of pursuers round behind him, although this time the AB Motorsport cars had swapped round with Trott running 3rd ahead of Allwood. In a similar situation to that of Race 1, and following the agreement all of the top 4 drivers had between each other, the quartet remained circulating together, although this time in the early laps they had John Langridge for company as he was able to keep pace with the leading group.
Again, Smith was able to remain in front of Blackwell-Chambers for the first few laps before the #1 decided the time was right to attack on Lap 8. Eventually, it didn't take long for the two MCR cars at the head of the order to begin to work together more efficiently and they slowly began to draw away from Trott and Allwood. Langridge also had to watch his mirrors as Tolley was taking a few tenths out of him each lap and was able to close him down. Lap 13 would see the moment of truth as Tolley found a way past Langridge into what was now starting to become his customary 5th place, while still firmly remaining the dominant Masters driver by quite a margin.
From there, the order didn't change and Blackwell-Chambers celebrated another superb hat-trick of victories with teammate Smith only a tenth behind in something of a formation finish. Trott was able to gap Allwood by the flag to the tune of a couple of second to secure his first podium finish for a while, as Allwood was left to contemplate his fortunes at the next round in 4th. Tolley held and took 5th place as expected with Langridge collecting an impressive P6 for his troubles. Mike Comber gave his team more cause for celebration with a respectable 7th spot ahead of Michael Fisk, Teddy Clark and Stuart Symonds.
The final Mk1 race of the weekend would see Simon Woods back on the front row, only this time taking up the pole spot, with fellow Race 1 podium finisher Charlie Rawles for company alongside. Nick Le Doyen and Oliver Robinson made up Row 2 ahead of Jack Moody and Alan Hawkins, while Ivan Leary and Anthony Hutchins took the fourth row from Bryn Griffiths and Bill Taylor.
Incredibly it would be this race that would see the one and only safety car for the Mk1's entire meeting, as it also turned out to be the most attrition filled. Initially, Le Doyen pounced off the line to take the lead for the opening lap, but sadly couldn't stay there as the next time by he was off the road and out of the race. Woods took over as race leader, however his charge was halted by the aforementioned safety car which made its sole appearance at the end of Lap 4. Thankfully it only lasted two laps and racing was swiftly back underway with Woods leading from Robinson, Rawles, Hutchins and Hawkins.
As Woods did his best to create a gap, the fight for second began to intensify a little. Robinson was able to hold on for several laps with the three aforementioned drivers behind him giving chase. However, this all came to a head on lap 3 when a duel between Robinson and Hutchins came to a head. Contact between the pair saw Hawkins with nowhere to go and the three cars briefly stacked into each other, giving Rawles a free pass to 2nd while the incident-affected trio picked themselves up and got going again. Hutchins unfortunately had to retire shortly afterwards as Hawkins dropped down to 6th behind Jack Moody, but Robinson came out of the tussle relatively unscathed and was immediately chasing down and passing Rawles merely a lap later.
Incredibly, this wasn't even the end of the story – Woods had been held up while this had been going on, and was now under threat from both Robinson and Rawles as the second half of the race progressed. Lap 17 was the moment of truth as Woods had the lead snatched away by Rawles and a lap later, he was pushed down to 4th as both Robinson and Moody also swept through to take up the podium places.
The running order stayed the same to the finish, as Jack Rawles took a hard-earned and long awaited first race victory, having taken advice from BTCC racer Jake Hill the day before. Robinson picked up 2nd with Jack Moody celebrating a podium on his debut race weekend in 3rd. Woods would have undoubtedly been frustrated with 4th place after leading most of the way, with William Hayden completing the top 5 ahead of Jake Styles. Bill Taylor finished 7th from fellow rookies Richard Wootten and Graham Rumsey, while Bryn Griffiths was forced to be content with completing the top 10.
With an exciting opening weekend complete, the teams and drivers now pack up and travel north from Kent and across to Norfolk, as the Snetterton 300 circuit plays host to Rounds 4, 5 & 6 of the 2018 season. More names are set to make their first appearance of the season, both familiar and new, so be sure to join us for what's set to be another half dozen races of unbridled entertainment!

Carlos Inca (Cuzco, *1537-1582), noble inca y encomendero. Heredero de su padre Paullu Inca, llegó a ser la principal autoridad indígena en el temprano Cuzco colonial.

Primeros años
Hijo de Cristóbal Paullu Inca y Catalina Tocto Ussica. Su madre, contrajo matrimonio con su padre, dos días antes de que éste fallezca, siendo legitimados tanto Carlos como su hermano Felipe.

"Fue criado por sus padres al uso español, como lo anduvieron ellos mismos desde que se hicieron cristianos, con mucho lustre, con ayos y criados españoles, teniendo para su ornato muy buenos caballos, jaeces y otros aderezos". Su educación clásica estuvo a cargo de maestros como el padre Pedro Sánchez y el canónigo Juan de Cuéllar.

Posición social
Residía en el palacio de Colcampata, donde reunía a su corte, en su mayor parte orejones empobrecidos. Recibía a muchos dignatarios que visitaban el Cuzco, ofrecía hospitalidad a vecinos españoles y mestizos, mantenía la capilla de San Cristóbal, fundada por su padre, así como la capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe en el convento de San Francisco, fundada por él mismo.

Su rol simbólico dentro de la sociedad inca colonial consistía en encabezar las procesiones y celebraciones religiosas de la ciudad, ocupando no solo una posición preferencial entre los incas sino entre los mismos españoles.

Cargos
Carlos Inca fue el único indígena que ocupó el cargo de regidor del Cuzco. Participó en el comercio de la coca y en la contratación de indios para trabajar en las minas de Potosí.

Descendencia
Casado con la dama española, María Amarilla de Esquivel, natural de Trujillo e hija de Diego de Amarilla, tuvo como único hijo a Melchor Carlos Inca, caballero de Santiago.

Home Article PRACTICALITY. I...
PRACTICALITY. I...
PRACTICALITY. I recommend that folks read Garance's sharp analysis of Mark Warner's impact at YearlyKos. Most interesting to me was news that the famously pragmatic, nonideological Markos is scornful of a potential meeting with Team Hillary. When a Hillary staffer reached out to him a year ago, Markos ignored the invitation. Indeed, he offers a willingness to take it a step farther, saying that if Clinton requested a meeting today, �I�d probably say no � I don�t think she has anything to say to me.� Fair enough, though snubbing the party's likely nominee isn't exactly a "pragmatic" move. But neither was it the first time: in 2004, Markos swiftly rebuffed Cam Kerry's efforts at outreach after his brother secured the nomination. At least, it wasn't on first blush. But upon further thought (second blush?), both moves are perfectly, even ruthlessly, pragmatic. Clinton doesn't need Kos -- his netroots won't prove a major force in her fundrasing machine, her victory won't be attributed to his support. A Warner or Feingold triumph, by contrast, would. When Markos bragged that "popular movements are rarely so practical," it's important to focus in on the word movement because that, it appears, is what Markos is focused on. His pragmatism has mostly been painted as an obsession with winning, and attacks against him tend to focus on his rather poor electoral record. But that's because Markos picks prospects rather than winners, campaigns and candidates who attract little establishment support and whose victory, thus, can be attributed to the netroots. No gambler gains a reputation by betting on 50:1 favorites, but any gambler can make one by putting enough money on a 1:50 longshot. The "netroots" are, I think, a revolution of tone, not ideology. They've got a few defining characteristics, none of them ideological. A contempt for the establishment is one. An appetite for pugilism is another. Clinton offers neither. In addition, her victory wouldn't enhance the aura of the netroots' one iota. Remaining hostile during the primaries, in fact, forces the sort of electoral frisson the media so loves to cover, thus enhancing the netroots' insurgent reputation. Once the primaries end, as happened in 2004, the netroots can drop in line: one tent, one cause. If Clinton could forgive and welcome the Senate Republicans who destroyed her during the 90's, she'll happily welcome back the netroots. But till then, supporting, or even offering a rapprochment, with Clinton, holds no upside; it's a bet with no payoff. And while popular movements are rarely practical enough to resist the lure of establishment acceptance, the netroots' may be just practical enough.

Downtown Historic District
Downtown Asheville itself has four distinct neighborhoods, each with their own distinctive qualities and ambience: Battery Park, the area that includes Haywood Street, Wall Street, and Battery Park Avenue; Lexington Park, spanning Lexington Avenue and Broadway; Pack Square, encompassing Pack Square, South Pack Square, Biltmore Avenue, and Patton Avenue; and Thomas Wolfe Plaza, centered on Market Street and Spruce Street.
One of the very best ways to experience these neighborhoods and most of the downtown Asheville historic buildings presented below is to walk the Asheville Urban Trail. This self-guided walking tour visits all four of the neighborhoods discussed here, with stations and thematic markers along the way. For more information about this extraordinary way to trace the footsteps of Asheville's historic past, go here Asheville Urban Trail. Another way to see the historic districts is to take a tour on one of two replica trolleys. See Asheville Tours for more information.
Pack Square (NRHP)
Pack Square, and the nearby South Pack Square, Biltmore Avenue, and Patton Avenue, is the heart of Asheville. Lo-ated at the intersection of Biltmore Avenue, Broadway, and College Street, it was once known as Public Square and was renamed in 1901 for city benefactor George Willis Pack when he moved the courthouse off the square and, in agreement with county commissioners, the square was designated a public park. This spacious square is surrounded by wonderful examples of Classical, Gothic, Art Deco, and Contemporary architecture.
Today, Pack Square and its surrounding streets are a vibrant and historic city center that not only boasts elegant architecture but superb museums, shops, music halls, art galleries and world class restaurants. A visit to Pack Square will show you immediately why Asheville has been called "Paris of the South."
Vance Monument (NRHP) Pack Square
Located in the square's center is a 75-foot tall granite obelisk, the Vance Monument, erected in 1896 and named in honor of Zebulon B. Vance, an Asheville attorney who was twice governor of North Carolina and was also a U.S. Senator.Two-thirds of the $3,000 cost was paid by philanthropist George W. Pack, and the architect R.S. Smith donated his services. The granite obelisk was cut from the Pacolet quarries in Henderson County.
Pack Memorial Library Building (NRHP, LHL) 2 South Pack Square
Located on the southern side of Pack Square is the Pack Memorial Library Building. Today this noble Second Renaissance Revival structure is home to the Asheville Art Museum, part of the Pack Place Education, Arts & Science Center. Built in 1925-26 and designed by New York Library architect Edward L. Tilton, the four-story building presents symmetrically arranged elevations faced with white Georgia marble and ornamented with a low-relief classical cornice.
Jackson Building (NRHP) 22 South Pack Square
To the left of the Library Building is the wonderfully elegant Jackson Building. Built in 1923-24 by real estate developer L.B. Jackson and it was the first skyscraper in Western North Carolina. The architect was Ronald Greene and the building he designed rises 13 stories on a small 27 x 60 foot lot. Neo-Gothic in style, the building originally had a searchlight on top that illuminated the surrounding mountains.
Asheville City Hall (NRHP, LHL) 70 Court Plaza
To the east of Pack Square is the Art Deco masterpiece designed by Douglas D. Ellington, and built in 1926-28. One of the crown jewels of Asheville it is set on a marble base and topped with a pink and green tiled octagonal ziggurat roof. A wonderful unity of appearance is achieved through the luxurious use of color and form. The main entrance is through a loggia of pink marble with multicolored groin vaults. One of the most striking and beautiful buildings in all of North Carolina, City Hall is a show stopper in a city graced by many unusual and beautiful buildings.
Buncombe County Courthouse (NRHP) 60 Court Plaza
To the left of the City Hall is the Buncombe County Courthouse. Designed by Milburn and Heister of Washington, DC, and built in 1927-28, this steel frame seventeen-story courthouse has a brick and limestone classical surface. It has an opulent lobby ornamented with polychrome classical plaster work and marble balustrades. Polished granite columns at the entrance are echoed by similar columns above at the jail section. The large superior court room has a coffered plaster ceiling and elegant woodwork.
Young Men's Institute Building (NRHP, LHL) Market and Eagle St.
Located behind the Pack Place Education, Arts, & Science Center on the corner of South Market and Eagle streets is the Young Men's Institute (YMI) Building, built by George Vanderbilt in 1892 to serve as a recreational and cultural center for black men and boys. It was sold to the Young Men's Institute in 1906 and became a center for social activity in the black community and contained professional offices and a black public library. Designed by R.S. Smith in a simplified English Cottage style with a pebbledash and brick surface, today it houses the YMI Cultural Center, part of Pack Place Education, Arts & Science Center.
Eagle and Market Streets (NRHP)
This district was the heart of the black community in Asheville in the early days and today contains many fine buildings of historic importance, including the YMI Building mentioned earlier. Of interest are the Campbell Building at 38 South Market Street, originally an office building, and the former Black Masonic Temple Building at 44 South Market Street.
Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church (NRHP) 47 Eagle St.
Also in this historic area is the large and handsome Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church. A three-tower red brick Late Victorian Gothic structure built in 1919, it has a tin-shingled roof that has ornamental sheet-metal finials. The large number of Art Glass windows that grace the church are another unusual feature. It was home to one of Asheville's largest black congregations, organized in 1880 by the noted Reverend Rumley.
Kress Building (NRHP, LHL) 21 Patton Ave.
Just down from Pack Square on Patton Avenue, you will encounter one of Asheville's finest commercial buildings, the Kress building. Housing today an antique and crafts emporium, this four-story building was built in 1926-27. Distinctive features are the cream colored glazed terra-cotta with orange and blue rosette borders that face the front three bays of the building. In addition the side elevations above the first level are tan brick with terra-cotta inserts. This classical design preceded the many Art Deco Kress stores built around the country in the late 1930s and is unique in that sense.
Drhumor Building (NRHP) 48 Patton Ave.
Farther west is the splendid Romanesque Revival Drhumor Building. Built in 1895, this structure is an imposing four stories of brick trimmed with rock-faced limestone and graced by a marvelous first floor frieze by sculptor Fred Miles. One of the bearded visages is supposedly of local merchant E.C. Deake, who watched Miles sculpt. Miles was also the sculptor who did the figures atop the Basilica of St. Lawrence. A complementary limestone frontispiece was added to the north side of the building in the 1920s and the original corner entrance was filled in. The building was de-signed by A.L. Melton for Will J. Cocke and his relatives, Mrs. Marie Johnson and Miss Mattie. The name Drhumor comes from the Johnson family's ancestral home in Ireland.
S&W Cafeteria Building (NRHP, LHL) 56 Patton Ave.
A little farther down Patton Avenue is another of the crown jewels of Asheville, and one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in North Carolina, the S&W Cafeteria Building. It was built in 1929 for the cafeteria chain which occupied the building until 1973. The building was designed by Douglas D. Ellington, and is two stories with a polychrome cream, green, blue, black and gilt glazed terra cotta facade that employs geometrically-stylized Indian and classical mo-tifs. The interior is divided into dining rooms and lobbies with Art Deco decorations of superb quality. The building today is used for catering of meetings, receptions and banquets.
Public Service Building (NRHP, LHL) 89-93 Patton Ave.
Farther west is the Public Service Building built in 1929. This imposing eight-story Neo-Spanish Romanesque steel frame office building is one of North Carolina's most attractive 1920s skyscrapers. Built of red brick and glazed terra cotta, its first two and upper floors are lavishly ornamented with polychrome terra cotta including such whimsical details as Leda-and-the-Swan spring blocks on the second-floor windows.
Flatiron Building (NRHP, LHL) 10-20 Battery Park Ave.
The Flatiron Building is an eight-story tan brick building that has classical detailing and a "flatiron" plan. Built in 1925-26, and designed by Albert C. Wirth, this elegant and unique building is faced with limestone ashlar and is perched at the entrance to the historic Wall Street district. A large metal sculpture of a household iron sits outside on the Wall Street side of the building.
Wall Street (NRHP)
This charming one-block street of small shops was named Wall Street after the retaining wall built behind the structures that face Pritchard Park. In 1926 Tench Coxe and Ed Ray remodeled and repainted the rear entrances to these building to create a boutique district, which they called "Greenwich Village." That name never caught on, and the district was simply called Wall Street. Today it is a one of Asheville's most interesting shopping districts, with many top-¬quality gift and specialty shops. When there, notice the unusual gingko trees planted along the street.
Grove Arcade (NRHP, LHL) 10-20 Battery Park Ave.
Located just north of Wall Street, the grand Grove Arcade building occupies a full city block. This imposing building was begun in 1926 by E.W. Grove to be a commercial mall topped with an office skyscraper. Completed after Grove's death minus the skyscraper, the building is surfaced with cream glazed terra-cotta in a Neo-Tudor Gothic style. It is one of several major buildings for which the millionaire was responsible, with the most noteworthy among them being the Grove Park Inn. The arcade was designed by Charles N. Parker. Among the most interesting details are a pair of winged Griffin statues guarding the Battle Square entrance of the building. After years of service as offices for the federal government, the Grove Arcade is now home to commercial shops and venues.
Battery Park Hotel (NRHP, LHL) 1 Battle Square
The hotel is a huge 14-story T-plan Neo-Georgian hotel erected by E.W. Grove in 1923-24. This extraordinary building was designed by hotel architect W.L. Stoddart of New York and replaced a previous Queen Anne style hotel of the same name. It is surfaced in brick with limestone and terra-cotta trim. The hotel building today houses apartments and is located just north of the Grove Arcade.
United States Post Office and Courthouse (NRHP) 100 Otis St.
Located just west of the Grove Arcade is the former post office and courthouse building, one of the state's finest Depression-era Federal buildings. This Art-Deco influenced building was designed by the Federal Architect's Office under James A. Wetmore. The building has a majestically massed central entrance in which the Art Deco influence can be seen.
First Church of Christ Scientist (NRHP) 64 North French Broad Ave.
The First Church of Christ Scientist is of a refined Jeffersonian, Neo-Classical Revival style, constructed of orange brick. Built between 1909 and 1912, it was designed by S.S. Beaman of Chicago.
Basilica of Saint Lawrence, D.M. (NRHP) 97 Haywood St.
To the north of the Grove Arcade area is the Basilica of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr, built in 1909. A Spanish Baroque Revival Roman Catholic Church built of red brick with polychrome glazed terra-cotta inserts and limestone trim, it was designed by world-famous architect/engineer Raphael Guastavino. The church employs his "cohesive construction" techniques in its large oval tile dome and Catalan-style vaulting in its two towers. The massive stone foundations and the solid brick superstructure give silent testimony to the architect's desire to build an edifice that would endure for generations. There are no beams of wood or steel in the entire structure; all walls, floors, ceilings and pillars are of tile or other masonry materials. The dome is entirely self supporting, has a clear span of 58 x 82 feet and is reputed to be the largest unsupported dome in North America. The Crucifixion tableaux of the Basilica altar features a rare example of seventeenth century Spanish woodcarving. The windows are of German origin, and the Basilica has two chapels. Attached by an arcade is the 1929 Neo-Tuscan Renaissance brick rectory designed by Father Michael of Belmont Abbey. Self-guided tour brochures are available at the church, and guided tours are given after Sunday masses.
Loughran Building (NRHP, LHL) 43 Haywood St.
The Loughran Building was in 1923 and is a six-story steel-frame commercial building that has a restrained white glazed terra cotta classical facade. It was designed by Smith and Carrier for Frank Loughran and its first occupant was Denton's Department Store.
Central United Methodist Church (NRHP) 27 Church St.
Located on Church Street, south of Patton Avenue, this Gothic limestone-faced church was designed by R.H. Hunt of Chattanaooga, Tennessee. The church is noted for its fine stained and Art Glass windows and was built between 1902 and 1905.
First Presbyterian Church (NRHP) 40 Church St.
This Gothic Revival church is home to one of Asheville's oldest congregations and is one of the oldest church buildings in the city. Located on the corner of Church and Aston streets, the brick nave and steeple were constructed in 1884-85 and have deep, corbelled cornices, hood-molded windows and blind arcading at the eaves. The north chapel and the south building were added in 1968.
Trinity Episcopal Church (NRHP) Church and Aston St.
Located on the opposite corner of Church and Aston Streets, the Trinity Episcopal Church is the third of the three churches in this Church Street neighborhood. Built in 1921, it is a Tudor Gothic Revival style brick with granite trim build-ing and was designed by Bertram Goodhue of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson, well-known church architects. This lovely building has a simple gable roofed sanctuary with transepts and a short gable-roofed blunt tower.
Ravenscroft School Building (NRHP, LHL) 29 Ravenscroft Dr.
Built in the 1840s, this two-and-a-half story brick Greek Revival house is probably the oldest structure in the downtown area and one of the oldest in Asheville. It housed the Ravenscroft Episcopal Boys' Classical and Theological School after 1856 until the Civil War. Thereafter it was used as a training school for the ministry. In 1886 it was used again as a boys' school. After the turn of the century, it was a rooming house, and today it is used for professional offices. Details of the house in Academic Greek Revival are of a type not common to Western North Carolina.
Mears House (NRHP) 137 Biltmore Ave.
Located on Biltmore Avenue, the Mears House is a wonderful example of Queen Anne style architecture. Built around 1885, this brick residence has a slate-shingled mansard roof, gables and dormers. This is the most distinguished of the remaining late nineteenth century residences near downtown.
Scottish Rite Cathedral and Masonic Temple (NRHP) 80 Broadway
Built in 1913, this imposing four-story building is constructed of pressed brick and trimmed in limestone and grey brick. A two-story limestone portico with a pair of Ionic columns graces the Broadway entrance. The building was designed by Smith and Carrier.
Lexington Avenue (NRHP)
This once thriving market district was where farmers and others once came to water their horses and buy and sell local produce. Because natural springs kept it wet, Lexington Avenue was first called Water Street. Double doorways accommodating farmers' wagons are still evident on renovated buildings. Lexington Avenue is Asheville's premier antique district and many antique shops, specialty stores, galleries and nightclubs are found today in this interesting neighborhood.
First Baptist Church of Asheville (NRHP) 5 Oak St.
Built in 1927, the First Baptist Church of Asheville was designed by noted architect Douglas Ellington from his sketches of a cathedral in Florence, Italy. Three major additions have been made to the building. The Children's Wing was added in 1968, and the Sherman Family Center in 1980. This wonderfully elegant building is an unusual combination of an Early Italian Renaissance form and color scheme arranged in a beaux arts plan with Art Deco detailing. Of particular interest is the Art Deco copper lantern atop the dome and the subtle gradation of color in the roofing tiles. The walls are an effective combination of orange bricks, terra-cotta moldings and pink marble. This striking building is at the corner of Oak and Woodfin Streets.
First Christian Church (NRHP) 20 Oak St.
Right across the street is the First Christian Church, built between 1925 and 1926 in a traditional Late Gothic Style, and constructed of rock-faced grey granite masonry with smooth granite trim. Designed by the home office, it has an unusual feature in that the placement of the tower is at the intersection of the nave and transept.

Safety & Compliance
2021 HDT Fact Book: Safety, Regulatory Issues Top of Mind for Fleets
August 25, 2021 • By Deborah Lockridge • Bookmark +
Heavy Duty Trucking's annual Fact Book issue is designed to provide a snapshot of the current state of the industry, where it's been, and where it's going. These numbers can help you in planning and benchmarking your fleet, and in telling trucking's story to others.
Graphic: HDT
Safety issues are more important to trucking fleets than ever, affecting nearly every aspect of the business, from federal safety compliance scores and the driver shortage to insurance costs and the risk of a "nuclear verdict."
That's why, new to the Fact Book this year, we launched what we intend to be an annual fleet safety survey conducted by Heavy Duty Trucking and sister media brand Work Truck.
Not surprisingly, the results showed that the smallest fleets approach safety quite differently from the largest fleets. For instance, when asked about fleet safety strategies, fleets with fewer than 10 vehicles used these strategies considerably less than respondents as a whole. Larger fleets were more likely to cite driver training, advanced safety technologies, and driver safety awards/recognition than respondents as a whole.
Larger fleets in the HDT/Work Truck 2021 safety survey were more likely to pursue driver training and emphasizing a culture of safety as safety strategies than respondents as a whole.
Source: HDT/Work Truck Safety Survey 2021
Only about half of respondents said they emphasize a culture of safety throughout the company as a safety strategy, and that was much more common among fleets of 250 or more vehicles at 78%. Of the smallest fleets, only 28% checked off the safety culture option.
2020, of course, was anything but a typical year for fleets, and safety issues were no exception.
Lytx reports that compared to 2019, data from its video-based safety and analytics system indicated that truck fleet drivers had an increased number of posted speed violations, incomplete stops at stop signs, and failures to stop at stop signs. Areas that improved from the previous year included late response, following distance, red lights, unsafe lane changes, and drowsy driving.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ramped up its use of offsite audits during the pandemic, and that trend is expected to continue. Not only do they consume fewer resources, but they also allow the FMCSA to expand its enforcement reach — a goal the agency has been striving to achieve for years.
2020 also was the first year the electronic logging device mandate was fully in effect, and we saw the FMCSA change hours-of-service rules to make them more flexible. How are those playing out in the violation statistics?
"If you look at substantive hours of service violations (ie, driving beyond the allowable hours), we actually have seen a pretty decent decline in those violations since the ELD mandate, as compared with false log violations, which have risen — which is what you would expect," says Brandon Wiseman, owner and president of Trucksafe Consulting. In 2020, he said, 14-hour violations dropped to 9,700 from 36,600 in 2017 and 30-minute rest break violations dropped from 51,000 to 10,000.
Last year was the first year for the FMCSA's Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, which took effect Jan. 6. As of June 1 this year, there had been more than 80,420 test results reported to the clearinghouse, with drug tests accounting for 82% of total violations reported. Marijuana was by far the most common drug detected.
However, that clearinghouse does not include hair testing, which proponents say identifies many more drug users than urine-testing. Fleets that use hair testing last year found drivers testing positive for marijuana less than for cocaine and opioids.
Between the time the Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse opened Jan. 6, 2020, and the end of May, 2021 (most recent report available), drivers tested positive more than 80,000 times, with marijuana by far the most common substance identified. (More than one substance can appear in a positive drug test.) 73,609 drivers had at least one violation, and more than 60,000 were in prohibited status as of June 1. More than 45,000 had not started the return-to-duty process, while 13,310 had completed it and were no longer in prohibited status.

"Urine tests miss cocaine and opioid use because the timeframe for detection is small, compared to marijuana," explains Lane Kidd, spokesman for the Trucking Alliance, which advocates for hair testing and other safety measures. "Hair testing catches the lifestyle users, who cannot refrain a few days before testing and avoid getting caught. If hair testing failures were accepted into the clearinghouse, the results would show cocaine and opioids leading in the drug test results and the seriousness of the drug abuse problem we have among too many truck drivers."
Forward-facing-only cameras have been more popular than those that face both forward and into the cab to monitor driver behavior, with 34% compared to 25% of fleets adopting.
Cameras are the most common safety technology fleets plan to adopt in the next year. For the largest fleets, however, 250-plus, distracted driving prevention/detection technology tops the list with 23%, far higher than the 9% overall.
Nearly two-thirds of fleet professionals surveyed do in-person classroom-based driver safety training. Larger fleets are far more likely to do in-person classroom training, as well as more likely to use technology-based training solutions such as independent video/online training, live remote training, driver simulators, and virtual or augmented reality.
Parking lots appear to be more of a challenge for fleet respondents than other locations, with nearly half ranking it first or second when asked where the most accidents occur.
The number one driver knowledge/skill gap identified by fleet managers in a J.J. Keller survey was how to avoid distracted driving, which is also a top carrier issue identified in the American Transportation Research Institute's 2020 Critical Issues in the Trucking Industry report. Some "secondary" skills desired by fleet managers include driving in mountains and inclement weather, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle on the road, and how to know when they are too tired or sick to drive.

FMCSA had already conducted close to 3,500 offsite reviews as of the end of May 2021, compared to approximately 4,000 onsite reviews during the same period. At this pace, the agency's investigators are on track to perform nearly 8,500 offsite audits by the end of the year, a 68% increase year-over-year and a nearly 2,500% increase from 2017, according to Trucksafe Consulting.
Looking at FMCSA's top out-of-service equipment violations for fiscal year 2021 to date (as of mid-July), "Inoperative Brake Lamps" appeared in the top 10 list this year but not last year, perhaps because of CVSA's Roadcheck focusing on lighting. Load securement, which was no. 8 last year, dropped out of the top 10 this year, with "Leaking/spilling/blowing/falling cargo" appearing at number 11.
Source: FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCIS)
The most common driver out-of-service violations for fiscal year 2021 to date (as of mid-July) were similar to a year ago, with the top four OOS violations remaining the same. However, "Driver does not have a valid operator's license for the CMV being operated" moved up from number 7 to number 5, trading places with "No drivers record of duty status when one is required." And appearing on this year's top 10 but not last year was "Driving beyond 14-hour duty period." Coming in at number 11 this year was "Driver on duty and in possession of a narcotic drug / amphetamine."
Trucking is an increasingly data-driven industry. Numbers matter. There's no end to the available software and analytics available to fleets today to help them analyze and improve their operations.
But sometimes you want to look at statistics and data to help give you the big picture, and this is what Heavy Duty Trucking's annual Fact Book issue is all about.

Scarlett Center Stage
The bombshell actress models her namesake color in the newly renovated Lincoln Center and talks to Bazaar about her new husband, her new president, and confronting old stereotypes
By Sarah Cristobal
Jan 7 2009, 3:00 am EST
Alexi Lubomirski
On a rainy afternoon in November, Scarlett Johansson saunters into the Carlyle hotel in New York, undetected despite her rather conspicuous I'm-trying-to-blend-in ensemble of black trench coat, black fedora, and black Ray-Ban aviators. "You know, I always try to keep a low profile, which probably makes me the most identifiable person in a crowd," Scarlett jokes. "It's like, There goes that woman in a wig, mustache, and glasses."
SEE LOOKBOOK: SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Costumed and bespectacled or not, Scarlett, 24, prefers to keep a Grand Canyon-size divide between her personal and professional lives. She rarely comments on her romantic relationships (including her marriage to actor Ryan Reynolds in September) and doesn't sashay down a red carpet unless she has to. There is one man, however, who has won her public affection: President-elect Barack Obama. "I'm absolutely over the moon," she says of his victory, with the broadest of smiles. "If I'm invited to the inaugural party, I'll be there in a giant gown with the Obama family silk-screened on it."
Having announced her support early on, Scarlett quietly campaigned for Obama for 16 months leading up to the November election. She traveled to the swing state of Ohio the week before Election Day and made calls to undecided voters.
As with any true politico, her foray into that arena wasn't without consequences. It has been well documented that last year, when she gave an interview and revealed that she had received an e-mail from the future president thanking her for her efforts, it caused a big brouhaha. (Her point was that during his grassroots campaign, Obama called even those who had given small donations to personally thank them.) "And then, the title of the article was 'Actress Has a Crush on Obama,'" says Scarlett, exasperated. "Talk about sexist. If I were George Clooney, they would never have written that. I was obviously in a relationship, and people were like, 'How dare she try to break up his marriage with Michelle?' I was like, What the hell is going on? And then he released the statement — his camp had to; they're on a 24-hour news cycle and have to quell anything that comes in that is questionable. I was really mortified, but I learned my lesson."
Still, Scarlett had reason to celebrate during election week: She also watched the New York City Marathon, cheering from the sidelines as new husband Reynolds ran by.
"I went to some random spot and saw everybody going past," she says of the lengthy race. "It was really incredible. I'm a horrible runner; I can barely put one foot in front of the other. I saw that J.Lo did a triathlon and I'm like, Damn, girl, you just had twins! It's amazing. I'm so not a sporty spice; I'm a stay-at-home-and-veg spice."
Though they tried their darnedest, the tabloids could not crack the case of the Reynolds-Johansson nuptials. To this day, the details remain scant, save for where it took place (a secluded Canadian resort). Even where she got her dress was under wraps. "You have to protect some things, even if it's a silly detail like who designed your dress," she demurs. "It was private, which is what I really wanted. I've never been the girl who thought of the big dress, the big ceremony. I'm more low-key than that. Most people want photographers at their wedding, and for us it was how do we leave them out?"
The transition to married life has been an easy one for Scarlett, although she's not yet ready to advise others. "I feel like everything is really normal, it's calm and natural, like the way it should be," she says. "I have no perspective on it because it's been such a short time. I would never try to profess some knowledge that I discovered. I'm happy and it feels very regular, which is good."
Her engagement to Reynolds was equally personal and heartfelt: "I wasn't surprised that it was happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight. You say you can't believe it, but of course you really can. I think all proposals are romantic. It was very down-to-earth and genuine. There was no crazy skywriting or anything like that, just nice words, and it was very sweet."
For the most part, Scarlett has managed to survive the tabloid interest. "I was just talking to my publicist and he said, 'You're either pregnant or divorced today.' And I was thinking, What the hell are they talking about? I'm 24! I mean, I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened. I've also been pregnant several times. With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I've been eating way too many bagels or something. I'm not pregnant and I'm not going to be anytime soon."
This month, it is Scarlett's silver-screen persona on display — the sultry star who makes men literally weak in the knees — in the big-screen adaptation of He's Just Not That Into You. She plays a free-spirited yoga teacher named Anna who also fancies herself a singer and falls disastrously for a married man (played by Bradley Cooper). The cast also includes Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Drew Barrymore. "I feel like all the characters are real," Scarlett says. "They're real women, not just frouffy scenarios, and with real relationship woes. We've all been there."
Scarlett, who is frequently cast as the sexy distraction, is on somewhat familiar territory. (For proof, look no further than the triumvirate of Woody Allen features: Match Point, Scoop, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.) "I do feel that I often play or get stuck in between two men," she observes. "I think it's hard to be a 24-year-old actor and not be typecast. A lot of roles are either for a sexy person or a Juno-type character."
One wonders if she of the heart-shaped face and knockout physique has ever had the he's-just-not-that-into-you experience. "Oh, yeah! I've had that a couple of times, where he wasn't into me or wasn't available emotionally. It's kind of a hard thing to admit when you really like somebody and you can see the potential of the relationship but they can't." She has never, however, resorted to drunk dialing. "I'm probably too type A. I don't like to be out of control or anything like that. I can't. I'd be mortified." But she admires the Mail Goggles application that prevents just such late-night e-mailing. "I think that Google thing is ingenious," she says, laughing.
Those type-A sensibilities will no doubt pay off when Scarlett makes her directorial debut this spring in New York, I Love You, the follow-up to the 2006 film Paris, Je T'Aime. The actress, who wrote and directed a vignette that features Kevin Bacon, found the experience transformative. "That's probably the direction I'll take; I can't keep up this face forever, you know," she says. "There is some weird ageist quality in Hollywood; perhaps that's why I lean more toward directing and development."
Her direction and development projects at home include perfecting her cooking skills. "I'm a major foodie," she confides. "I love to eat. I make a really mean lasagna. Woody's like, 'You're like an Italian housewife. Where did this come from?'" She intends to feed said dish to her fictitious children, the needy sextuplets. "They're always hungry, those bastards."
But before motherhood becomes a reality, Scarlett plans to conquer yet another frontier: the Wild West. "Every actor wants to work on a Western," she says simply. Would she want to be an Annie Oakley type? "I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I'm working with what I've got. It's only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset," she says with a laugh. "So I might as well do it now."

Q: JSR 303 Bean validation contraints without Annotations We are developing REST services and want to use JSR 303 for input data validation, but problem here is all model objects are generated from groovy DSL and will be imported as jars. So there is no flexibility of writing JSR-303 annotations on top of object fields.
So is there any other alternative to use JSR-303 without annotations,is it possible by XML configuaration? or any suggestion for validation in this scenario please.
Thanks

A: JSR-303 allows you to override your annotations by using XML validation descriptors. (use a validation.xml)

A: Either use the XML configuration as defined by the Bean Validation spec or - if you're working with Hibernate Validator - the API for programmatic constraint declaration.
