Car Profiles
American Austin 1930–1941
West Peterson
For most of the free world, a car like the American Austin was a good idea, and there was already a market for it. In Europe, automobiles were taxed based on horsepower and, for at least a while, the number of wheels on the road. Anything with less than four wheels was considered a motorcycle and taxed much less. The price of gas itself was enough for Europeans to demand economical vehicles, meaning small, powerless cars fit the bill for general citizens and small businesses.
Could such a car work for the American market, whose population was plenty comfortable with big cars, cheap gas and low taxes? You wouldn't think Americans would be interested in shoehorning themselves into the pint-sized cars no matter how cute they were. That didn't stop Englishman Sir Herbert Austin from tossing his hat into the American ring in 1929. He found interest from several different investors, and the American Austin Company was born, making it just a question of where to build them, finally deciding upon Butler, Pennsylvania.
With a beautiful design done by well-known industrial designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, an incredible and surprising 52,000 orders were received within a week of being shown for the first time publicly at the National Automobile Show in 1930, many times more than the tiny plant was capable of producing. [Sakhnoffsky is credited with designing what many people feel is the most beautiful car of all time, the 1934 Packard LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton.] Even six months later, with a production rate of just 100 vehicles a day being achieved at the Butler plant, the factory fell way short of demand. It was a problem that quickly fixed itself, as the Great Depression was on its way to looking ugly for the American economy – and for the world. Orders fell drastically and the factory closed in the spring of 1932.
For all practical purposes, that should have been the end of it, but six months later the factory was acquired for $5,000 by several investors, led by 30-year-old Floridian Roy S. Evans, the largest automobile dealer in the South. Two-and-a-half years later, production was still under initial demand, as only 20,000 cars and light-duty trucks drove out of the Butler assembly plant. Evans' money friends decided to call it quits in 1935, leaving the American Austin Car Company. Evans, ever the optimistic, picked up the pieces and reorganize the company as the American Bantam Car Company in 1936, again hiring Sakhnoffsky to do a conservative redesign to update the vehicles (with so little money in the Bantam coffers, Sakhnoffsky, working for Hayes Body Corporation at the time, charge just $300 for the three days he spent penciling a new look). With production back up in 1938, it seemed economic forces were again making it difficult for the small company to get its feet off the ground as the country went into a rather deep recession. Still, five new models were added to the line in 1939. With approximately $75 per vehicle being lost on each of the 6,700 cars built during the next two years, Bantam's future was looking bleak.
At about this time, the U.S. Army was in need of a four-wheel-drive ¼-ton military vehicle. Military officials went to Butler to take a look at the current production vehicles and plant capabilities. By the time bid requests were sent out, unfortunately Bantam was already to its knees financially. But while the engineering department had been disbanded, Bantam was determined to come up with a prototype in less than two months. And it was successful, both in coming up with the prototype and successfully exceeding expectations put forth by the U.S. Army requirements for such a vehicle.
Both Ford and Willys had access to the Bantam's design, and both companies submitted their own version. While the Bantam was successful in design and application, the government felt their plant was not capable of producing the number of vehicles needed for war-time needs. Willys and Ford were given the contracts.
Bantam got its own contract, though, with a vehicle known as the Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC). The army requested an all-purpose military vehicle, and it was the BRC that became the prototype of the jeep, later manufactured by Willys and Ford, and it is the direct ancestor of the four-wheel-drive vehicles of today.
In May of 1943, after Willys started claiming in advertising that they had created the Jeep, the Fair Trade Commission charged them with false and misleading advertising stating that the Jeep was fostered and conceived in Butler, PA, by the American Bantam Car Company.
Evans sold his company after the war, and all tools and dies for the government contract work had to be destroyed. Although the Austins and later Bantams were intended to be serious commercial products aimed at economy (preceding the Volkswagen by many years) they unfortunately were never taken very seriously by Americans.
The original American Austin engine was licensed from Austin in 1929, and some of the parts, like pistons, bearings etc., can be used in English or American engines. The American version was a 45.6 cubic inch (750cc) four-cylinder flathead with 5.0:1 compression. The main bearings are a cylindrical roller in the back and a double row of (double annular) ball bearings in front. The whole engine with clutch and all accessories weighs only 148 lbs. The cars with this engine attained 40 mpg, but with 13 horsepower top speed was likely to be around 50 mph, at which one could expect some crankshaft whip and an anguished keening from under the hood.
Configuration: Inline 4-Cylinder, L-head
Displacement: 45 cu. in.
15.0 HP @ 3,500.0 RPM
Dimensions: overall length 10 feet, weight: 1,130 lbs, wheelbase: 75 in.

Eddie Izzard: Wunderbar
Five years after his last comedy tour Force Majeure made comedy history, having played 45 countries including all 50 US States AND in four languages – making it the most extensive comedy show ever, Eddie Izzard is back to his roots with an all-new show which expands on his own very unique, totally surreal view of life, love, history and his 'theory of the universe.' Wunderbar is a delicious insight into the surreal and fantastical world of Eddie Izzard. This is intelligent Bunkum of the highest order.
Wunderbar began life at La Nouvelle Seine, a floating theatre in Paris on the Seine where Eddie began to improvise his new show in French. He then flipped countries and continued developing the show improvising in Berlin in German. Now after more development in English, Eddie is ready to share Wunderbar with the world… But will make sure the language fits the country!
Eddie Izzard is arguably one of today's top comedians. He has performed sell out shows across the world from Shanghai to Mumbai including nights at Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl. With his brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to historical politics, sexual politics, mad ancient kings, and chickens with guns, he has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race.

Companies join forces for offshore wind power
May 6th, 2014, Published in Articles: Energize
Areva has selected Schneider Electric as its preferred supplier of power equipment for its offshore wind projects. This includes a 500 MW wind farm in the bay of Saint Brieuc off the coast of Brittany; and the current tenders for the offshore wind farms at Le Tréport off the coast of Haute-Normandie and the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier in Pays de la Loire. Developed as part of the offshore wind programme launched by the French government in 2011, these wind farms will not only contribute to France meeting its targets as laid down in the EU's Climate and Energy Package, but will also firmly establish a French sector of excellence for this technology. Under the terms of the agreement signed by the two groups, Schneider Electric will supply transformers and circuit breakers for Areva's wind farms.

Q: Realm Server Object Incorrect Thread Exception I had an app were realm objects were managed locally like this
import Foundation
import RealmSwift

class Patient: Object {

    static var realm: Realm?
    dynamic var name = ""

    convenience init(name: String, save: Bool = false) {
        self.init()
        self.name = name
        if save() {
            self.save
        }
    }

    func save() {
        try! Patient.realm?.write {
            Patient.realm?.add(self, update: true)
        }
    }

    static func getAllPatients() -> Results<Patient>? {
        return Patient.realm?.objects(Patient.self)
    }

}

When I tried to convert the above code to sync with Realm Object Server, I got thread error trying to pass the realm instance passed from the login method to my class
static func userLogin(onCompletion: @escaping (Realm) -> Void) {
    let serverURL = URL(string: "http://127.0.0.1:9080")!
    let credentials = SyncCredentials.usernamePassword(username: "test@test", password: "test")
    SyncUser.logIn(with: credentials, server: serverURL) {
        user, error in

        if let user = user {
            let syncServerURL = URL(string: "realm://localhost:9080/~/test")!
            let config = Realm.Configuration(syncConfiguration: SyncConfiguration(user: user, realmURL: syncServerURL))
            let realm = try! Realm(configuration: config)
            onCompletion(realm)
        } else if _ = error {
        }
    }

}

and here to get the realm instance
userLogin() { realm in
        Patient.realm = realm
    }

Now, when I use this new Patient.realm in my class functions (getAllPatients), I get incorrect thread exception
Any possible way to pass the realm instance from userLogin to my class without causing this thread exception? If I put my queries in the login function, does that mean I need to login, sync everytime I need to get something from or edit the database?

A: In your login function you should be storing the Realm.Configuration object created with the logged-in user and using that to create a Realm instance as needed rather than trying to store the Realm object. Realm instances are thread-specific, while config objects are not.

Recent Grad Success: India March '18 finds her place in NBA marketing
Tagged: alumni success, internship, Magellan Project
WASHINGTON, PA. (May 23, 2019)—India March '18 didn't know what awaited her when she was preparing for graduation last May, but she knew she wanted to follow her passion for sports and entertainment industry.
A gut feeling told India to turn down a position she was offered with grocery chain Aldi as a warehouse manager, much to the chagrin of her family members.
"My family thought I was crazy for passing up a good-paying job right out of college, but I knew I didn't go to school for warehouse management, and it wasn't where my passion was," she said.
On the day of commencement, the marketing team for the Portland Trail Blazers contacted her, encouraging her to apply for their Rose Quarter Internship that provides marketing support for concerts and events. As a W&J student, she'd already gained internship experience with both the Pittsburgh Steelers and MTV, and she was a perfect fit for the new opportunity.
The Washington, Pa., native moved across the country to take the job and quickly found a home within the organization. As her internship progressed, India earned increasing levels of responsibility and even ended up covering a Justin Timberlake concert on her own.
When a part-time position opened in the communications department for the Trail Blazers, India went through a four-month interview process and was one of the final two candidates considered. She didn't land that job, but while interviewing, she learned of another open position: Brand Strategy Production Coordinator for the Portland Trail Blazers. She threw her hat in the ring and this time earned the full-time role, which she began in April 2019.
India credits her time at W&J to preparing her for her career. In addition to her two external internships, India interned with W&J's Office of Marketing and Communications during her junior year, and took advantage of the Magellan Project, traveling to Europe to research the entertainment industry through meetings with night club owners, DJs, and musicians. She said the project made a big impression on her employer. Her status as a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and the women's basketball team taught her valuable teamwork and networking skills that have carried over into her career.
"I made the best decision of my life coming to W&J," India said. "The College just offers so many opportunities. The clubs I was in, my internships, and so many great faculty and staff members…pushed me to be my best."

DMX's family is by his side as he remains in critical condition
Several of DMX's kids are en route to the hospital hoping he will recover.
By C.H.
As DMX's family members arrive at the White Plains, NY hospital he is currently in, TMZ is reporting that X's mom Arnett Simmons and fiancée Desiree Lindstrom have been by his side.
An unnamed source continues to update TMZ with intricate details and inside information. Apparently, X's mom and Ms. Lindstrom were allowed into the ICU where the multi-platinum rapper remains unresponsive. Several of his kids are on the way to the hospital with hopes of seeing their father recover.
DMX's has been hospitalized since Friday (April 2) night after he reportedly suffered a heart attack due to an overdose. The news sent shockwaves through the hip hop community, as several of the rapper's friends and collaborators took to their social media accounts to share well-wishes and send their prayers to the 50-year-old entertainer.
Swizz Beatz simply shared a cryptic post of a sunset on Instagram, but followed up today with a reel's worth of highlights from the Dark Man X's legendary career. He captioned the post, "We love you my brother let's keep the vibes up." Ja Rule, who's name trended on Twitter earlier today, perhaps due to his close affiliation with DMX, shared a similar message this morning. "Woke up with this heavy on my heart this morning get well my brother!!!" he wrote via Instagram.
X's attorney, Murray Richman, provided an update on the matter to ABC yesterday afternoon. He disclosed that he spoke with family members and confirmed the Ruff Ryders rapper was in grave condition and on life support. The situation got convoluted a little later, when Richman told Pix 11 that X was taken off life support and able to breathe on his own. Shortly after, he recanted his statement in an interview with Rolling Stone. Richman admit that he received the "wrong information."
Paramedics reportedly attempted to resuscitate the rapper for half an hour to no avail. Doctors informed the family the lack of oxygen severely impacted his brain.

Q: Windows CE 6.0 - USB Drivers at boot up time I built a new Windows CE image and placed two USB drivers. One for the USB printer and the second for some special device with digital and analog I/O ports.
I have one problem that came out with the drivers while the operating system boots up.
Every time the image boots up it asks to enter the driver's name. (The message is "Unidentified USB Device" Enter the name of the USB device driver) Is there a workaround for this problem ? What does I have to put into a registry?
I did not check if the driver is working after that because of my second problem
with the SQL CE 3.5 in my application.
The similar problem is happening if I not add a driver for example the Audio subsystem.
The OS at boot up scans the devices and finds some new hardware asking to fill the name for the driver.
It is simple to correct the second situation. I only have to check the item in the catalog view and rebuild the image. On behind the ragistry is filled with correct parameters but what am I supposed to do with custom drivers ?

A: The "Unidentified Device" dialog happens when the USB node is queried and no macthing driver in the OS is found.  Which device, specifically, is causing that?  You mention both a printer and an I/O device - knowing which device is causing the error will help narrow it down.
When you "added the drivers" to the OS, did you just add the driver binaries, or did you also add the relevant registry entries in the drivers section? Those entries depend on the specific driver, so I can't tell you exactly which keys and values you need.


As I write it there are only 11 minutes remaining in this day. Well after I emphatically wrote in the last post thing went a little awry from there as it turned out that my phone went dead as it was no longer charging and it looked like that I would have to be without a smartphone for sometime.
Then I got a call from a shop telling me that they will be able to repair my phone, I was little bit hopeful.
So finally coming to today well I woke up and reached the shop and they told me that my phone would be ready in about 4-5 hours. So what else would I do I made my way to the near by Wave Mall and bought a ticket to the movie. But it was lunch time so I decided to head to food court as there was some time to the movie but the food counter had another idea with their extremely shoddy and slow service and some items missing and other items cold it wasn't a nice experience.
Thankfully the movie turned out to the very good and I liked it even though the missed around 15 minutes in the start. And at the shop my phone was ready too, Yay! for small mercies. The shop fixed the phone at only about 12% of the phone value so it was good too and my phone was working again within a day Hurrah!
I made my way home and well passed time and one more thing I had a mouse roaming in the house today it was caught too. Small wins right. And now it's 3rd June well then. Good Night folks, Make Love not War, There's already not enough time why to waste it my hate and fighting. Keep on rocking, Keep on clicking, Keep on Reading.

Children become very happy when they see their favourite street vehicle outside. For example, kids love to show a car passing by and imitate the sound of a car's horn. The same happens as well with trucks, police cars, trams, or motorcycles. Parents can use this educational video to show their children different types of street vehicles, which are not always easy to see.

Your custom or collector vehicle is more than just fun to drive. It is a financial investment that you need to protect. With a car appraisal New York, you're taking the right steps to save yourself potential hassle in several arenas, including the IRS, sellers, the courts, and insurance companies.
Let's talk about everyone's favorite organization: the IRS. If you are going to donate your vehicle to charity, you're required to have an appraisal of your vehicle done before you can write it off on your taxes.
If you're going to purchase a classic or custom car, you should get a pre-purchase appraisal before you hand over any cash. Should the car's restoration or customization job not be up to par, you'll be glad you didn't pay the high price that the seller may have been trying to get you to pay. If you don't know what to look for in a high-quality restoration or customization job, or if you live too far from the vehicle to look at it closely, you can trust a trained appraiser to do that for you.
In unpleasant situations like legal and official proceedings like financial audits, bankruptcy, estate settlement, or divorce, you will also want to have an appraisal. You can give these documents to interested parties to provide an independent valuation of your vehicle. You don't want to depend on the lawyers or the courts to determine your car's value for you.
In the instance that your car is damaged or stolen, you will have to make a claim on your insurance policy. You can give the company an appraisal that proves the value of your car. If you're going to buy insurance, you need an appraisal so that the insurance company doesn't provide their own value of what the car is worth in order to decide what to pay you in the event of a claim.
Consider getting agreed value car insurance instead of stated car insurance if you're in the market for it for custom or classic cars. Agreed value car insurance is different in that it doesn't have the out that stated value car insurance policies do, namely, that the insurance company can pay you the lesser of either the car's actual cash value or the stated value on the policy. Agreed value insurance is also usually cheaper because collector and custom cars are in usually in garages and protected, and they're not daily drivers.
So call us when you're ready to get a car appraisal New York to protect your investment.

Richmond woman 'changed' by mother's cancer diagnosis to run charity half-marathon | WHATSLOOKING!
"I retired as a teacher at Paddock School, Roehampton in July and spent my summer holiday scaling mountains and swimming in freshwater lakes in Switzerland," Anne said.
"Outwardly, I looked healthy, but my alpine tan was disguising a terrible illness.
Celia's initial shock upon hearing the news soon turned into a desire to help her mother and others suffering with the condition in any way possible.
"When my mum was first diagnosed, I couldn't stop researching ovarian cancer. I felt blind-sided by the whole thing – it came from seemingly nowhere," she said.
One in 50 women experience ovarian cancer in their lifetime, and often it is only diagnosed when it is advanced – at stages three or four. The most common symptoms are bloating, stomach pain, difficulty urinating and eating.

Self—government is in inverse ratio to numbers. The larger the constituency, the less the value of any particular vote. When he is merely one of millions, the individual elector feels himself to be impotent. The candidates he has voted into office are far away, at the top of the pyramid of power. Theoretically they are the servants of the people; but in fact it is the servants who give orders that the people far off at the base of the great pyramid must obey.
Human beings act in a great variety of irrational ways, but most of them seem capable, if given a fair chance, of making a reasonable choice in the light of available evidence. Democratic institutions can be made to work only if all concerned do their best to impart knowledge and to encourage rationality. But today, in the world's most powerful democracy, the politicians and their propagandists prefer to make nonsense of democratic procedures by appealing almost exclusively to the ignorance and irrationality of the electors.
Increasing population and advancing technology have resulted in an increase in the number and complexity of organizations, an increase in the amount of power concentrated in the hands of officials and a corresponding decrease in the amount of control exercised by the electors, coupled with a decrease in the public's regard for democratic procedures. Already weakened by the vast impersonal forces at work in the modern world, democratic institutions are now being undermined from within by the politicians and their propagandists. "Both parties, " we were told in 1956 by the editor of a leading business journal, "will merchandize their candidates and issues by the same methods that business has developed to sell goods. These include scientific selection of appeals and planned repetition. Radio spot announcements and ads will repeat phrases with a planned intensity. Billboards will push slogans of proven power. Candidates need, in addition to rich voices and good diction, to be able to look ?sincerely' at the TV camera. "
Inured to television and radio, the audience is accustomed to being distracted and does not like to be asked to concentrate or to make a prolonged intellectual effort. The great issues of the day must be dealt with in five minutes at the most—and preferably in sixty seconds flat. The political merchandisers appeal only to the weaknesses of voters, never to their potential strength, in no way attempting to educate the masses into becoming fit for self—government. They are content merely to manipulate and exploit them.
For this purpose all the resources of psychology and the social sciences are mobilized and set to work. Carefully selected samples of the electorate are given "interviews in depth. " These interviews in depth reveal the unconscious fears and wishes most prevalent in a given society at the time of an election. Phrases and images aimed at allaying or, if necessary, enhancing these fears, at satisfying these wishes, at least symbolically, are then chosen by the experts, tried out on readers and audiences, changed or improved in the light of the information thus obtained. After this the political campaign is ready for the mass communicators. All that is now needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look "sincere. " Under the new dispensation, political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance.
According to the information in passage, which of the following statements regarding the relationship between population size and the amount of power held by officials is true?
[A] The larger the population, the greater the amount of power held by officials.
[B] The larger the population, the smaller the amount of power held by officials.
[C] The smaller the population, the greater the amount of power held by officials.
[D] There is no systematic connection between population size and amount of power held by officials.
With which of the following statements would the author most likely NOT agree?
[A] Politicians could win elections without appealing to voters' weaknesses.
[B] In a democracy the officials are supposed to take command of the electorate.
[C] Science can be perverted to further bad intentions.
[D] Propaganda that exploits voters' weaknesses is effective.
With an eye towards the main purpose of the passage, which of the following findings best supports the author's belief that political principles and plans for specific action are no longer important in political campaigns?
[A] Most Americans do not watch televised political debates.
[B] Most candidates do not follow through on their campaign promises when elected.
[C] Most Americans vote for candidates without knowing their stance on foreign policy.
[D] Most Americans remain undecided until the day of an election.
Suppose that just prior to an election one candidate's campaign runs a commercial that portrays his opponent as "soft on crime. " What relevance would this information have to the passage?
[A] It would support the claim that merchandisers will try to play on the public's fears.
[B] It would support the claim that merchandisers have little regard for the truth.
[C] It would weaken the claim that merchandisers never appeal to the strengths of the voters.
[D] It would weaken the claim that merchandisers focus exclusively on their own candidates.
Some people have suggested that politicians should appeal to their voters in a more rational manner by giving detailed explanations of their views in extended television appearances. Based on the passage, the author would most likely NOT agree because:
[A] the public never seems to respond to rational appeals.
[B] merchandising candidates has proved to be the most successful method.
[C] the radio would be a much better forum for imparting detailed information.
[D] the public's attention span is too short for them to benefit.
If an individual wished to adopt the views and methods of the political merchandisers as presented in the passage, this action would most likely mean acknowledging that:
[A] the public will not accept surface without substance.
[B] each person has his or her own unique fears and desires.
[C] anyone can be molded into a political candidate with enough effort and money.
[D] a candidate is not needed in order to begin a political campaign.

Troutdale, Oregon, just 15 miles east of Portland, is a charming small Oregon city known for its rich historical past and as the gateway to the Columbia River Gorge.
The settlement was first known as Sandy, after the nearby river. In 1872, Captain John Harlow chose the location on a scenic knoll above the confluence of the Sandy and Columbia rivers for his farm. It was he who renamed Troutdale, for the trout he installed in the pond on his rural estate.
Since the installation of the nation's first scenic highway here in 1916, Troutdale has been famous as the jumping-off point for 70 miles of gorgeous scenery in the Columbia River Gorge. A breathtaking tour of the Historic Columbia River Highway begins under a downtown arch.
The city of 16,000 is also known for art and antiques, outdoor play and a few culinary surprises. Late fall is a great time to explore, when crowds thin, trees show their true colors and art galleries come alive with holiday cheer.
Spend your first day in Troutdale acquainting yourself with this friendly city's history. Captain John Harlow was a sea captain from Maine and a Portland, Oregon, businessman before he became one of Troutdale's earliest residents. Harlow's original manor burned down, but the home of his son, Fred Harlow,, built in 1900, remains standing in Harlow House City Park, serving as the Harlow House Museum of the Troutdale Historical Society.
The Harlow House is captured in time, outfitted with period items owned by the Harlow families and other Troutdale residents, including a collection of bone china. Another historic gem to be explored here is the Troutdale Rail Depot Museum. The rail line was established in 1882, thanks to a political push by John Harlow, as was a depot. Fire claimed the depot building too, but the replacement built in 1907 remains standing today. The Harlow House is open for tours on Sunday afternoons and the Rail Depot on Fridays.
Round out your day of exploring Troutdale's history by having a beer at what was once the Multnomah County Poor Farm. The grand building housed the ill and indigent on the east end of Troutdale at the turn of the century and was abandoned in the 1980s. Enter the McMenamin brothers, who recreated the site as Edgefield, a sprawling 70-acre campus of hospitality. The main building has 100 guest rooms. The site also boasts a brewery, distillery, winery, golf course, live music venue and several restaurants and watering holes. The Black Rabbit Restaurant is renowned as one of McMenamins' best fine-dining destinations. After dinner, soak in a warm pool, watch glass blowing or take a walking tour of the grounds as the sun sets.
Troutdale has one of the most charming downtowns in the state of Oregon. Lovely storefronts fronted by flower planters and spacious sidewalks line the Historic Columbia Gorge Highway where it begins, with a hint of a river view in the distance to the north.
Begin an exploration of this city's aesthetic and artistic side at the Troutdale Art Center. This artists' collective invites guests in to see artists at work and purchase their work on the spot. Art Center founder Alison Brown does her work in bronze sculpture here, specializing in likenesses of the famous University of Oregon duck mascot. Her husband, Rip Caswell, has Caswell Sculpture, also downtown, where he creates bronze sculptures of wildlife. Caswell and Brown are also behind a bronze foundry, newly opened this fall. Take a stroll over to Mayor's Square, where Caswell's nod to his home city is the bronze sculpture "Rainbow Splendor," the likeness of two trout leaping over a water fountain.
The Troutdale General Store is a massive, old-timey destination with three floors of souvenirs, T-shirts, specialty candies and more. Perhaps the store's highlight is the entire bottom floor, given over to holiday décor and ornaments. Don't miss the long antique soda counter offering breakfast, lunch, espresso, ice cream and a large assortment of desserts.
Stop in at a few more of Troutdale's art galleries and antique stores, including Infusion Gallery, which supports artists with development and intellectual disabilities.
When everything on your shopping list is crossed off, visit Calcagno Cellars to taste some locally made wine. Grapes from the Yakima Valley are at the heart of this winery's cabernet sauvignon, for which they are best known. Its newer Historic Highway Salute sparkling riesling is a delicious pour with a good cause—every purchase supports the Troutdale Historical Society.
End the day at Troutini, a fine dining destination with an upbeat, casual ambience and delicious food. Chef Nick LaShomb creates artful, regional dishes at this downtown favorite. Try the scallops, ribs or a housemade pot pie, a glass of Oregon wine or beer, and a delicious pot of crème brulee.
Troutdale was chosen as the place where the nation's first scenic highway would begin. The construction of the Historic Columbia Gorge Highway in 1916 is the event that arguably put this modest city on the map for good. It was the era of the vehicle, and America was smitten with pretty places to drive their cars. The designers of the highway put their all into its design, and it is a masterpiece of engineering and aesthetics that endures as one of Oregon's true gems.
Begin your day at the Barn Exhibit Hall downtown to learn about the construction and preservation of the "King of Roads." Then pass under the arch that reads "Gateway to the Gorge" and wind east along the highway itself. Vista House offers your first drop-dead awesome views of the river and basalt lava flows that created this landscape. Continue on to visit waterfall after lovely waterfall, including Latourell, Bridal Veil, Multnomah and Horsetail Falls. Each offers a hike if you'd like to stretch your legs, or simply gaze at the cascading water and snap some pictures.
If you'd rather see the highway and gorge from the air, book a flight from the Troutdale Airport with Envi Adventures. Experienced pilots will fly you over Vista Point and each waterfall to the Bridge of the Gods and back for a panoramic tour.
When the historic highway opened, restaurants, tearooms, hot dog stands and dance pavilions sprang up overnight to feed and entertain travelers. Hints of this time remain at two iconic destinations on the Troutdale end of the Historic Highway: Shirley's Tippy Canoe and Tad's Chicken 'n Dumplins. Tad's is 1920s-era roadhouse founded to serve early day-trippers Oregon fare—fish and chips, smoked salmon, and of course, chicken and dumplings, still anchor the menu. Shirley's hasn't been around quite as long as Tad's, but this one-time biker bar turned Americana restaurant has been serving classic seafood dishes, sloppy joes and the like for a very long time. Let the afternoon slip into evening on the spacious deck under the tall Douglas firs by the Sandy River.
Editor's note: The west Columbia Gorge region was seriously impacted early this fall by the Eagle Creek Fire. The fire broke out September 2 and burned throughout the month, consuming nearly 50,000 acres. As of press time, the fire was still not entirely contained. Many of the roads and natural areas between Troutdale and Cascade Locks are currently closed to the public, including the Columbia Gorge Scenic Highway, which remains closed indefinitely. Still, local cities like Troutdale are open for business and primed for recovery, and all in this story but the scenic highway are accessible now. See tripcheck.com and westcolumbiagorgechamber.com for more information.
Have you visited Cannon Beach, Oregon? Plan your trip here.
I so miss my monthly visits to Troutdale.
You're very welcome Roberta! I hope you'll share some of your experiences on our facebook page!
You describe the Multnomah County Poor Farm (now known as McMenamin's Edgefield) as being located "on the east end of Troutdale." I've been there many times, and seems to be on the *west* end of Troutdale.
Thanks for the clarification Curt! We'll be sure to let the author know.

Q: CsQuery filter html I have a block of html code which represents the second verse of the book of James from the bible:

    2

        #
            See Matt. 5:12

    Count it all joy, my brothers,

        #

            1:2
            Or
            brothers and sisters
            . In New Testament usage, depending on the context, the plural Greek word
            adelphoi
            (translated “brothers”) may refer either to
            brothers
            or to

            ; also verses 16, 19

    produces steadfastness.

I ultimately just want to return the verse numbers and text as a string.I am trying to use CsQuery to  retrieve certain span classes, so I can omit the classes I do not need. For example to return the class "content" and class "body" as a string. I can currently only display one span class, with the following code:
CQ dom = CQ.Create(text);
dom = dom["span.content"];
string cleanedText = dom.Text();
Console.WriteLine(cleanedText);

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Eleanor Roosevelt, what's in your wallet?
October 11, 2011 by hparkins, posted in - Great Depression, - Women's Rights, - World War I, - World War II, Presidents, Unusual documents
The exterior of Eleanor's wallet, which had over 25 cards and notes inside.
Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884. She was the niece of former President Theodore Roosevelt, and later became the wife of future President Franklin D. Roosevelt (her fifth cousin).
She is known for her role as First Lady during the Great Depression and World War II. She was the first woman in that role to hold a press conference, and she was an advocate for minorities, the disadvantaged, and the disabled.
In her post–White House life, she served as chair of the Human Rights Commission for the United Nations General Assembly and as first chairperson of the President's Commission on the Status of Women.
But to get a different sense of Mrs. Roosevelt's many causes, interests, and associations, we can look inside her wallet.
Among the many cards and bits of paper, she had a license from the state of New York to carry a pistol, an expired card to the Newspaper Guild's Press Club in New York City, a Diner's Club Credit Card, a health insurance card, a "Bell System Credit Card" with instructions on how to make a collect call, a St. Christopher card for the patron saint of travel, and an air travel card.
The contents of her wallet—cards, photographs, bits of poems—at the time of her death in 1962 are now part of the holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library. You can see the full contents of her wallet in the book Records of Our National Life, published for the 75th anniversary of the National Archives.
You can read more about Mrs. Roosevelt's life and accomplishments over at the Our President's tumblr blog.
A poem that suggests Eleanor may have been more fond of good food than her reputation as White House hostess would suggest.
Eleanor was a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (but also had a license to carry an pistol!)

Cofer v. Parker-Hannifin Corp.
United States District Court, C.D. California, Southern Division
HERBERT COFER, Plaintiff,
PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION; DAVID CONLON, an individual; KIM MELTON, an individual; FRANK DUBEY, an i individual; and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING IN PART DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REMAND
CORMAC J. CARNEY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Herbert Cofer brought this action against his former employer, Parker-Hannifin Corporation (Parker), and Parker employees David Conlon, Kim Melton, and Frank Dubey. Mr. Cofer filed his complaint in Orange County Superior Court in February 2016 and Parker removed the action to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction. (Dkt. 1.) Mr. Cofer is asserting a harassment claim against all defendants, as well as claims for race discrimination, age discrimination, failure to take reasonable steps to prevent discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and wrongful discharge against Parker only. All claims have been brought under California state law. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims in the Complaint, (Dkt. 11), and the Court granted it in part. Mr. Cofer has now filed his First Amended Complaint (FAC), (Dkt. 23), and Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss only his claims for harassment and failure to prevent harassment, as well as his pleadings seeking punitive damages. (Dkt. 24.)
As explained below, though Mr. Cofer has alleged facts that state a plausible case of workplace discrimination, he has not stated viable claims for harassment or failure to prevent harassment. The Court therefore DISMISSES the claims for harassment and failure to prevent harassment. The Court DENIES Defendants' motion to dismiss the portions of Mr. Cofer's complaint pertaining to punitive damages.
Mr. Cofer has filed a motion to remand this case to state court on the basis that there is not complete diversity between himself and Defendants. (Dkt. 25.) Though Parker is not a citizen of California, Mr. Cofer and the individual defendants are. Nonetheless, the only claims against the individual defendants are the harassment claim and the failure to prevent harassment claim. Both of those claims were dismissed in the first motion to dismiss and Mr. Cofer was given leave to amend his complaint. Mr. Cofer's FAC has again failed to state a valid claim for harassment or failure to prevent harassment. California law on the issue is sufficiently settled for this Court to conclude that the joinder of the individual Defendants is fraudulent. The only defendant left in the case after dismissal, Parker, is not a California citizen and therefore does not defeat diversity. Accordingly, Mr. Cofer's motion to remand is DENIED.
Because Mr. Cofer has already been given leave to amend his complaint once and has shown no sign that he is able to add sufficient facts to state a plausible claim for harassment, his harassment-related claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.[1]
In 1990, Parker hired Mr. Cofer, a black man, as a Senior Contract Administrator, and Mr. Cofer was promoted many times until he eventually became Staff Program Administrative Manager in 2010. (FAC. ¶¶ 10, 14.) In March or April of 2012, Mr. Cofer applied for the position of Director of Program Management. (FAC. ¶18.)
