2004 Jana Cathedral Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
California: Napa Valley

Mission Codename: Labor of Love
Objective: Acquire a Unique Napa Valley Bordeaux Style Blend
Current Winery: Jana Wines (Scott Harvey Wines)
Wine Subject: 2004 Cathedral Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
Winemaker: Richard Peterson
The majority of the grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon) for this wine come from the Martin Vineyard in the Coombsville region of Napa Valley. Located in the southeastern corner of the Valley and the proposed Tolocay AVA overlaps a portion of the region. The region is ideal for growing red Bordeaux varietals due to its cooler climate, rolling hills and its soil witch is a mix of volcanic ash and rocky river gravel. These conditions are ideal for slower-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. Previously farm and ranch property, grapes have been growing the Coombsville only more recently.
Look – Deep and dark purple with good clarity and garnet hued-edges with slight burnt-orange and pick tints. Slow fat legs indicating good viscosity cling to the edges of the glass when swirled.
Smell – Medium in intensity with aromas of ripe and sweet black-cherry and fresh blackberry. Hints of licorice, toasted oak, floral violets and a touch of smoke round out the very pleasant nose.
Feel – A smooth and dry attack, this round medium-bodied blend has medium-firm, but fine well structured tannins and balanced acidity.
Taste – Balanced and well integrated flavors of ripe and fresh black cherry, soft toasted oak and touches of licorice that leads into other tangy black and red fruits and a touch of fresh herbs, smoke, mocha and spice.
Finish -Clean and long with lingering ripe fruit, toasted oak and floral violets.
Conclusion – The 2004 Cathedral has a very European quality about it. Lower in alcohol with subtle and soft aromas and flavors but still has its Napa Valley roots. Plush and round, elegant with great finesse, this predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (76%; 13% Petit Verdot and 11% Cabernet Franc) blend is perfect for when you want a wine that has all the flavors of a bold Napa red without the punch.
It was supposed to be a weekend get-away. Figuring that Agent Blush and I could escape from ops and, pardon the pun, but fly 'under the radar' for a day or two. The plan was to fly out to Sedona, Arizona and enjoy a couple days of fresh air, some casual hikes and most importantly time away from the demands of work (ok, so we drink wine for a living, but its still a lot of work).
For those who haven't been, Sedona is a lovely small town in central Arizona famous for its red sandstone formations and tranquil beauty. Flying it is also a treat as the airport sits atop a bluff above town.
All was going swimmingly until dinner that night. We sat down at the lodge and had started to review the wine list. Just then, a man in a Native American leather jacket, cowboy hat and dark sun glasses took the carte and and said "local legend demands you search for the Cathedral". Odd, I thought, but as he walked away with the wine list, the sommelier dropped by and indicated his approval of our non-choice, saying only "excellent selection, Mr… White".
Agent Blush, seeing my concern, immediately said, "I didn't say anything. I know not to blow our cover." I believed her, but was concerned since nobody was supposed to know about our little trip. The somm returned with the wine and presented us with a bottle of 2004 Jana Cathedral Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend. He poured a little in Blush's glass and waited for her to nod her head, which she did with a big smile. After filling our glasses and leaving the bottle on the table, he simply said "The Harvey's send their regards for a romantic weekend sir, enjoy".

Tasting Notes: Well structured, chewy, firm, violets, pyrazines, hints of mint.
Vineyard Notes: Cabernet Sauvignon from the Martin Vineyard in the Coombsville area of Napa Valley. this dry southwest looking hillside produces stressed Cabernet with small crops and berry size.
Winemaker Notes: Named for Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona where Scott and Jana were engaged, this wine epitomizes the best of Napa Valley. The small crop and berry size allows for full maturity of the grapes at lower sugar levels allowing us to make a true regional and varietal wine at 13.4% alcohol. Being European trained, this vineyard allows me to produce a Napa Valley Bordeaux blend as a balanced, complete wine.
Scott Harvey Wines are made of the best varietals from the terroir of Amador County, California. These worldly wines include an Old Vine Zinfandel, a Syrah (Rhone), a Barbera (Italian) and a Port (Portuguese). Scott's roots are in Amador County which has allowed him to develop considerable expertise with these varietals.
Growing up in California's Sierra Mountains Region, Scott developed a keen interest in winemaking as a high school exchange student in the Rhineland Pfalz region of Germany. Scott attended California State University at Sacramento before beginning practical Enology training at Montevina Winery in Amador County. Back to Germany in 1975, he apprenticed at K. Fitz-Ritter Winery while attending the Weinbau Schule in Neustadt. Once again returning to Montevina Winery, Scott focused on all aspects of winemaking and running a winery. From farming the grapes to effectively marketing the wine, Scott solidified his knowledge and experience. In 1978, at the age of twenty-three, Scott took over as Head Winemaker for Story Winery, also in Amador County.
In 1979 Scott developed an ambitious winery plan for the Santino family. As Winemaker and General Manager of Santino Winery, Scott is credited with placing Amador County firmly on the California wine map. Crafting the best wines possible from the soils and climatic conditions of the region, Santino and later Renwood benefited from Scott's German training and innovative style. Becoming one of the leading wineries in Amador County, and garnering critical acclaim, the wine world was paying attention. Amador County was now recognized as a world-class wine-growing appellation.
In 1996, Scott was recruited as Partner, Winemaker & President for newly purchased, Folie a Deux Winery in Napa Valley. Combining forces with Lead Partner, renowned Winemaker, Richard Peterson, Ph.D, a formidable winemaking team was launched. Scott pursued his commitment to award-winning Cabernets made from the Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley while continuing his passion for Amador County Zinfandel. Access to Scott's original Grandpère vineyard in Amador County and close relationships with premier Amador County growers, resulted in award-winning wines all around for Folie a Deux. In addition, Scott's creation, the "Menage a Trois" line of wines, was an instant commercial success. In 2004, Folie a Deux, now a respected brand, was sold to Sutter Home/Trinchero Winery. Scott was finally positioned and ready to start his own venture, and he had the ideal partner – his wife, Jana, a wine industry veteran.
Scott Harvey Wines, the initial line of wines in the "Creative Wine Concepts" portfolio, was created out of market demand for Scott's wines – "niche wines that over deliver." The Scott Harvey line focuses on Scott's roots – Zinfandel, Syrah and Barbera from the Sierra's. Approachable, food friendly and full of luscious fruit, these wines have struck a cord in the marketplace. Scott has hit his stride with his new mantra – "Scott Harvey Wines, it's time!" Stay tuned – this is just the beginning!

The Perils of Plank-Eye, The Pirate. Moodscope blog.
I'm really good, really good, at spotting smelling mistooks - sorry, spelling mistakes, in other people's work.
Yesterday, someone found a mistake in my work I was doing for free for them - a mistake they could have easily sorted themselves. I was miffed!
However, I've learned that every experience holds a lesson if you're open-minded enough to learn it.
Why do you look at the speck of dust in your friend's eye when there's a plank of wood sticking out of your own eye?
Whenever I find something lacking in somebody else - whether that's their spelling, or worse still, their character, it's an opportunity to check to see if I've become Plank-Eye, the Pirate!
Carl Jung dug into this territory too with his wonderful understanding of the Shadow. To simplify the thought: what we cannot tolerate in others is often an aspect of ourselves that we haven't come to terms with!
In the end, it comes down to this: it's best not to judge others. When tempted to, do a self-check first! And, if you do find something you can fix without pointing out someone else's shortcomings, fix it!
Finally, if you do have to point something out - be nice - knowing that there for the grace of God go you... and you probably will!

Fintech's Future: AI and Digital Assets in Financial Institutions
By Ariella Brown | Reviewed by Kuntal Chakraborty
View our Editorial Policy

The Growth of Fintech
What Drives Fintech Adoption
Robots and Automation
The banking industry is beginning to embrace AI and digital assets in an effort to put in place cutting-edge detection and to reduce human workload.
Source: Dreamstime/Everythingpossible
This is not your father's bank. Today's financial institutions have evolved so much over the past decade that they offer a completely different experience than the old bricks-and-mortar banks did.
To keep up with the pace of business and the security threats in today's environment, financial institutions were compelled to improve efficiency and develop innovative safeguards to manage risk. Fintech made that possible, and its adoption by users has accelerated tremendously as a result of the pandemic.
"Fintech is the biggest disruptor of our time for financial institutions," declared KPMG.
In 2020 the estimated global market for the AI component fintech 7.91 billion USD, on track to hit $26.67 billion by 2026. That's due to the compounded annual growth rate of 23.17% estimated for the next five years.
"If you look at digital lenders that have manufactured fintech products for at least a decade, they're doing quite a bit with AI. The idea of underwriting someone's credit sits very well with an AI approach." That's the observation that Lex Sokolin, Global Director of Fintech Strategy and Partner at Autonomous Research made in Cardrates.
In 2021, Dmitry Dolgorukov, Co-Founder and a CRO of HES FinTech and CEO at GiniMachine estimated that the breakdown of AI and ML for business use cases as follows:
38 percent – Reducing costs
37 percent – Customer insights
34 percent – Customer experience
30 percent – Internal process automation
27 percent – Fraud detection
26 percent – Customer satisfaction
The advanced power of digital automation combined with customer expectations for access and service shaped by their adoption of mobile technology and experience in online platforms is what has pushed even the most conservative of banks to adapt and deliver. Failing to do so gives their competition an advantage that would cost their business. (Read also: Top 12 AI Use Cases: Artificial Intelligence in Fintech.)
Meeting Customer Expectations
KPMG pointed out that over the past decade, customer expectations for financial institutions changed. They now demand the same level of convenience and accessibility they have come to enjoy on the retail front:
"In an era where retail products can be ordered and delivered in the same day, it's no surprise that people want their financial transactions to also occur in real-time — and for decisions related to their mortgages, insurance coverage or other financial needs to be made in moments rather than days or even weeks."
Accordingly, we see an increase in online and mobile banking, marketplace lending, new options for digital payments, and automated solutions to expedite processes. One of the uses of AI and ML is applying automation to underwriting to expedite the creditworthiness of applicants for loans and arrive at approval decisions faster.
VCAs (Virtual Customer Assistants)
Scaling up responsiveness to customers with AI has led to offering service via a virtual assistant. Bank of America introduced its version called Erica in 2018. It has grown from 6.3 million users in 2019 to 19.5 million in 2021. Interactions on the app nearly quadrupled in just a year, jumping from 27.8 million to 105.6 million.
Erica would be only one among many, according to the trend identified by Gartner. It anticipates that "70% of customer interactions will involve emerging technologies such as machine learning (ML) applications, chatbots and mobile messaging" by 2022. That represents a significant increase from the mere 15% that was handled through such tech in 2018. (Read also: 6 Trends in Customer Relationship Management.)
Reality may show even higher percentages as digital solutions were more widely adopted by the public due to the pandemic. Digital wallets and mobile payment options were also more widely adopted in 2020 due to the pandemic, breaking the habits of a lifetime for some people within just a few months.
This is good news for banks that have been trying for years to get customers to use automated services to cut costs. They still had to keep the traditional bank services open to accommodate customers who were used to doing things "the old-fashioned way." However, when many banks closed their physical locations or severely curtailed their hours during the lockdown, people had to adapt.
Banks are also already making use of robotic process automation (RPA). Among them is BNY Mellon, which began deploying bots as a way of capitalizing on AI capabilities to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
The cost savings are significant. In 2017 Reuters reported that the bank estimated an annual savings of $300,000 as a result of the shift from manual processes done by people to the automation enabled by bots.
That level of savings is just the tip of the iceberg for the industry. An Autonomous NEXT report found that AI could potentially reduce operating costs in the financial industry by 22%. By 2030, it predicts the savings could total $1 trillion. Part of the reason for that growth is the increase in the functionality of robotics in the financial sector.
Dolgorukov explains that "Robo-advisors have seen advancements from online questionnaires to dedicated fund and portfolio management to algorithm-based rebalancing and proposals."
He predicted that this year, we'll be seeing "a refinement of systems and more fully-automated, self-learning algorithms to aid investors."
These AI algorithms are able to take into account a range of personal considerations, including clients' financial goals, budget and risk tolerance. As they get more sophisticated, these "advisors" are also able to predict market trends and even determine when and how to rebalance portfolios.
ML offers a solution to security that eliminates a lot of tedious tasks to make manual checks with algorithms that will identify patterns of behavior to flag deviations.The combination of predictive analytics and real-time data integration makes it possible to detect financial fraud threats as they happen.
The Role of Blockchain
Blockchain is one of the tools being adopted by fintech to improve security. Its distributed ledger makes it possible to store and transfer assets or equity with the benefit of cryptography for security and transparency for the transactions. Blockchain is what makes a ledger truly immutable because its data cannot be overwritten, altered, or deleted. It also keeps everything traceable and accessible. It also is the technology that underlies cryptocurrency like bitcoin and ethereum, tokenization, and digital assets.
These forms of digital value are expected to rise tremendously over the next few years. According to IBM , "Tokenization alone is expected to be worth USD 24 trillion by 2027, a figure that represents 10 percent of global GDP." It adds that major names in the financial sector, including, J.P Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and PNC, are now "adopting blockchain to enable their infrastructure to support a variety of digital assets".
In addition to the benefit of security, a blockchain makes it possible to set up smart contracts. Such contracts not only define but "also enforce the agreed-upon obligations automatically" thanks to the code embedded in the blockchain. (Read also: How Blockchain is Changing the Way We Do Business.)
Just as our models for shopping have shifted from traveling into a store to see what they have to search online—likely on our phones—to buy what we want, the paradigm shifted for banking. Today's generation thinks of banking as something that you do online and expects to be able to use their phones for all information and transactions. That's why today's financial institutions have no choice but to adopt fintech and adapt to digital demands for payments, services, and security.

Q: PIC: Debug power consumption issues I have a board containing a PIC16 (see datasheet here) that is drawing too much current. We're able to measure the current draw for the board as a whole, but we can't measure the current draw for every single component.
Our theoretical calculations put the current draw at 300uA, but we are seeing a 500uA. To debug for this 200uA overshoot, we want to put the PIC in it's lowest possible current mode. How can the PIC be put in it's lowest power mode?
What I have done is disable all the flags (such as brown-out reset, stack overflow/underflow reset, etc.) and put the PIC to sleep at the first instruction. Should I put the PIO pins in a specific state? Are there peripherals that are enabled by default and should be turned off?

A: Make sure all peripherals are off, the watchdog and brownout are off, and the processor is asleep.  That should minimize current draw of the PIC itself.  Make sure all digital input pins are driven solidly high or low, and make sure all output pins are set so that they don't cause current in the rest of the system.
The stack overflow/underflow reset has nothing to do with power drain.  It's just part of the digital logic of the processor.  Turning off the processor clock (putting the device to sleep) will turn that off along with the rest of the processor logic.
Some subsystems are independent of the processor clock and need to be turned off separately.  Examples include the watchdog timer and the brownout reset detect.  The A/D can also be on if running from its internal R-C clock.  The datasheet shows the incremental current drawn for all these things.  Go thru that list and make sure everything is off.
You say you can't meausure current of individual components, but of course you can.  You could even remove the PIC from the board and wire all its outputs high or low, then see what the board takes.  That completely removes the PIC from the equation.  Or you could do the reverse.  Put the PIC on a breadboard by itself running the same code that should shut it down, and measure its current then.

A: To add to Olin's answer (which covers all the practical details), at the end of the datasheet there is a list of power down states with various peripherals/WDT/etc activated/deactivated and current draw. According to the clip below you should be able to get under a uA. I have measured around this (1-2uA IIRC) with a 16F690 during "full" sleep, so this being a later chip (and pretty much pin for pin compatible with the 16F690) I expect it will probably do a bit better.

Focus on Vulnerable Children Too - Will Lathrop Urges NDC, NPP @ Launch Of FaBCA
Mr. Will Lathrop Country Director of International Justice Mission (IJM) has bemoaned the fact that none of the manifestoes of the various political parties had any policy for vulnerable children.
Speaking at the launch of FaBCA and an exhibition show, Saturday, he said: "There's nothing to take care of children being trafficked or children in need; no plan to take care of that . . . I don't care about NDC or NPP but about who cares for vulnerable children. There are all things being said (in the manifestoes) but none of the policies are for vulnerable children".
50 children rescued in 30 days
Mr. Lathrop indicated that his organization in collaboration with other security agencies were able to rescue 50 children being trafficked in the last 30 days.
The moving part is that one of those children, an eight-year-old boy was critically ill and could have died had he not been rescued.
Meanwhile, the traffickers have been arrested and are facing prosecution.
FaBCA
Family Based Care Alliance ( FaBCA ) was established to raise awareness about moving orphans and vulnerable children from orphanages into foster care and actual homes where they can thrive. FaBCA is a movement of Christ-centered individuals and Faith-Based and non-governmental organizations who support this vision.
The theme for the event was 'Be the light' (Matthew 5:16) and it was chaired by Mr. Sam Okudzeto, former president of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA).
The Stand Weekend Event was climaxed on 8th November, by the observation of Orphan Sunday in churches nationwide. This was followed in the evening by a musical concert which featured the Preachers, Noble Nketsia, Eugene Zuta and Japhet Adjetey.
Partnering agencies of FABCA include International Justice Mission, World Vision International, Compassion International, Bible Society of Ghana, International Needs Ghana, Partnerships for Family Strengthening, Department of Social Welfare, AWANA Ghana, A Family for Every Orphan, and the Christian Alliance for Orphans.

What started as a phenomenon on a more personal level is now extending its reach to work and offices. Organisations started by using social media as a recruiting tool. But now companies are realising the importance of social media for internal communication as well. After all, the concept of 'Employee Branding' is catching up like fire in the age where people don't hesitate to express themselves.
"Many organisations are known to use social media strategies to reach out to customers and peers quite successfully. Now, communication professionals are realising that this tool can be used effectively to reach out to internal audience as well," says Sunil Goel, managing director, GlobalHunt.
According to an international survey, about 42% of employees would be happy to talk with their line manager or team leader on Facebook, and would even be comfortable tweeting the head of department or chief executive. Likewise, nearly 40% of managers would be happy to respond.
"In India sectors like Telecom, media, FMCG, Retail and IT are largely considering social media for internal communication," points out Goel.
Developing on this interest could result in enhancing internal communication, creating opportunities for innovation and knowledge sharing. However, for it to be successful, HR will have to take it up as an opportunity to persuade management to engage with employees in this "new age" way.
One of the ways this can be done is through employee blogging, encouraging employees to share ideas and giving opinions on new policies. "This tool will also ensure that every piece of communication reaches employees, which otherwise is lost through mass mails or newsletters," points out Goel.
Going forward, the line between internal and external communication will blur as social media starts to play a key part.
* Open new feedback channels: People from across departments can share ideas and thoughts. This will bring in fresh ideas and boost creativity.
* Blur the distance: Social media will help in communicating across geographies and bring employees from different regions on the same platform. This will ensure that the message is reached to everyone in just one click.
* Breaking down hierarchies: This will encourage cross-platform communication and open office environment.
* Interactive: Without doubt the communication will be two-way, unlike through emails and newsletters. This will make employees feel like they are being heard.
* Approachability: Employees can pick and choose who and what to engage, hear what others have to say, understand a different perspective and so on.
These attributes are certainly desirable in an organisation. But, don't get carried away advises Goel. "It's important to draw a line while communicating on social media platform. Let the employees know the dos and don'ts. This will ensure that no trade secret is discussed on an open platform."

It's move-in time for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Region VII as more than 200 employees begin work at their new headquarters—the former DeVry University building on Holmes Road just south of the Red Bridge Shopping Center.
Staff members are arriving on a staggered schedule throughout the week of Jan. 8. They will occupy both the first and second floors of the 56,000-square-foot building, but a portion of the first floor, about 10,000 square feet, remains vacant, says Michael Cappannari, external affairs director for FEMA's Region VII. He was unsure whether the building's owner, Kessinger/Hunter & Co., had other plans for the space.
The staff has been telecommuting for the last three weeks and that has worked out well, since many took extra time off during the holidays, he says. But even when they're settled, not everyone will be in the office at the same time. Some will continue to telecommute on certain days and others will be assisting with disaster recovery in Region VII and beyond.
"At one point this fall we had 198 out of 231 staff working in places like Texas, Florida, California and Puerto Rico. The peak season for disasters is usually in October, but this much activity was unusual. It was a complete all-hands-on-deck approach, not just for FEMA, but for other federal agencies, too," he says.
FEMA operates within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Region VII is one of 10 divisions throughout the nation. It serves the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. To emphasize its Midwestern focus, landscapers placed limestone fence posts made at a quarry in Russell, Kansas, at the front of the building along with native grasses from Kansas and Missouri.

Google pays $3M for new public outdoor recreational center in Seattle area
by Taylor Soper on August 25, 2015 at 4:38 pm August 26, 2015 at 2:18 pm

Residents of Kirkland, Wash., have access to a new public park thanks to Google.
A new outdoor recreational space is set to open next week along the Cross Kirkland Corridor next to Google's Kirkland campus and just in front of the company's new 180,000 square-foot building.
Google paid $3 million to transform an abandoned rail corridor into a new public space for its employees and the public that includes a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, a Crossfit/TRX fitness area, and a zip line.
Google will celebrate the opening of the space next Monday afternoon, with U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen, and other local leaders on hand.
This isn't the only benefit Kirkland residents now have because of Google. In June, the company announced a $200,000 donation to the City of Kirkland for a free WiFi network at Everest Park and Houghton Beach Park — both of which are within one mile of Google's office. The money will support the network for three years.
Google, headquartered in Silicon Valley, first established a presence in the Seattle-area with its Kirkland outpost 10 years ago. The search giant now employs more than 1,900 people in the region, split between offices in Kirkland, Bothell and Seattle's Fremont neighborhood.
In 2013, the company announced plans to add onto its Kirkland campus with the new 180,000 square foot development, which has enough room for an additional 700 employees and is adjacent to the recreation space. The new building, located a few miles from rival Microsoft's sprawling Redmond campus, is slated to be completed this year.
Last month, Google gave the City of Seattle a $225,000 grant that allowed the Seattle Public Library to offer lendable mobile hotspots.
The company has yet to offer its high-speed Google Fiber service in Seattle — former Mayor Mike McGinn tried convincing Google to offer the service in 2010, but ultimately the Emerald City was not picked. Former City of Seattle CTO Bill Schrier blamed the "Seattle Process" and bureaucracy at City Hall as roadblocks to Google Fiber.

Q: make keeps rearranging the arguments in the rule command - how do I stop that? witihn the target, there is a rule that invokes libtool with some arguments. Actual command line that gets executed when rule triggers has arguments rearranged.
I tried rearranging the argument sequence in a rule in various combinations, but final line that is executed, is always the same.
Finally, I tried capturing all the line that shall be executed in one variable and then entered that variable to be expanded as a line that gets executed by the shell. That works.
E.g:
1 - original, that fails:
target.o:
<--------->$(some_command) $(first_arg) $(second_one) $(third) $(fourth)

On triggering the rule, something like this gets executed
<--------->$(some_command)  $(second_one) $(fourth) $(third)  $(first_arg)

WTF?
In case it's relevant, that some_command is libtool.
(this is from Makefile | gsymcheck/src/MAkefile | within gEDA CAD, that I'm trying to mend to be compilable with LTO  optimizations BTW.)
line is:
$(AM_V_CCLD)$(gsymcheck_LINK) $(gsymcheck_OBJECTS) $(gsymcheck_LDADD) $(LIBS)

expect for the recept line of the rule to be executed as it was given, without make playing "origami" with it.


GRANT PARPAN PHOTO | Mega Millions winner Kim Chilton (center) with Showcase Wine and Liquor owner Corinne Ferdenzi and store employee Will Burkard.
Kim Chilton was feeling bummed when she couldn't accompany friends on a trip to Mohegan Sun earlier this month.
Instead, she planned a quiet night at home with her husband and a bottle of wine. While visiting Showcase Wine and Liquor on North Road in Southold that evening, she purchased a Mega Millions ticket, figuring she'd try her luck another way.
She did better at the liquor store than she probably would have at the casino.
Ms. Chilton, a mother of three from Southold, was one of two people to purchase a second place-winning ticket for the Feb. 1 Mega Millions drawing, earning her a $250,000 prize.
And it almost didn't happen at all.
The store was busy at the time Ms. Chilton asked to play a $5 quick pick. Distracted, store clerk Will Burkard initially handed her a ticket for just $1. He then corrected his error and handed her a second ticket with four more sets of numbers. The winning numbers 1-30-32-40-41 (she could have won $13 million if she'd also had 17 for her mega ball number) were on the top line of the second ticket, which she pinned to a bulletin board in her house.
Even after she heard through a friend that one of the winning tickets was purchased locally — the other was sold in Michigan — Ms. Chilton waited a week before verifying her numbers. She said she was later reminded when she saw an article on suffolktimes.com.
A substitute aide in the Southold School District and an adviser for the high school's robotics team, Ms. Chilton was so wrapped up in preparing for the club's competition in April that she waited another whole day after reading The Suffolk Times article before logging on to the lottery website to check the winning numbers.
She immediately walked the winning ticket to her husband, Ed, and asked him if he'd heard there was a local winner.
"I was still shaking when I showed him," she said.
Ms. Chilton said her children told her they were happy something so nice could happen to parents who have dedicated much of their lives to helping their kids.
She said she still plans to use the money — she received $165,000 after taxes — to pay off her children's educations. Her daughter, Kerry, and oldest son, Charles, are already enrolled in college and Kerry plans to attend law school later. Her youngest son, Tim, is also headed for college once he graduates from Southold.
Ms. Chilton has tried to keep a low profile since she won, but said word spreads quickly in such a small town.
That's a big reason why she was nervous when a blizzard struck the day after she discovered she'd won. Her accountant advised her not to tell a soul that she was in possession of the winning ticket until after the snow cleared and she could safely exchange it at the lottery's regional office in Garden City.
Even that exchange provided an interesting experience. Ms. Chilton said the lotto staff greets you quietly as you enter the building and doesn't verbally congratulate you in the lobby. Instead, a woman there gave her a thumbs up and handed her paperwork.
They then ask you to pose for photographs with the ceremonial check before cutting you the real one.
"I headed straight for the bank after that," she said.
It was a whirlwind many Showcase Wine and Liquor customers hoped they'd get the chance to experience after word spread that the store sold the winning ticket.
But one man, who store owner Corinne Ferdenzi said purchased his ticket minutes after Ms. Chilton purchased hers, later said he hoped he hadn't bought the winner. That's because the man told Ms. Ferdenzi he couldn't find it.
A casual lottery player, Ms. Chilton said she felt there was no way she'd picked a winner the day her friend told her it was bought in town.
