Ron Rivera Has Cancer
Washington coach Ron Rivera has been diagnosed with cancer but plans to continue coaching, he told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday night.
Rivera was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma located in a lymph node, the team said in a statement. Rivera said the cancer is in the early stages and is considered "very treatable and curable."
He told his players about the diagnosis in a team meeting Thursday night. As of now, he said, nothing changes with his job.
"I'm planning to go on coaching," he told Schefter. "Doctors encouraged me to do it too. They said, 'If you feel strongly, do it. Don't slow down, do your physical activities.' But everyone keeps telling me by week three or four, you'll start feeling it."
According to the Mayo Clinic, squamous cell cancer is a form of skin cancer. It is usually not life-threatening but can spread throughout the body and cause serious complications.
Chiefs not allowed to wear Native American wear
The Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday announced new rules for fans attending home games at Arrowhead Stadium, banning headdresses and certain types of face paint in an effort to be more sensitive to Native Americans.
Beginning this season, fans will be prohibited from wearing headdresses into the stadium, and will be asked upon arrival to remove "any face paint that is styled in a way that references or appropriates American Indian cultures and traditions."
The reigning Super Bowl champions are keeping their name but reviewing two longtime traditions, the pre-game drum ceremony and the "Arrowhead Chop."
Travis Kelce and the Chirffs have agree to parameter on a four-year extension that would tie Kelce to the Chiefs for the next six seasons
Chiefs first three game: Texans, Chargers, Ravens
Metcalf or Lockett?
Daniel Kilgore signs
According to Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports, the Kansas City Chiefs are ready to add another veteran offensive lineman to the mix by signing Daniel Kilgore.
Kilgore, who is 32-years-old, is a 6'3, 291 lb. lineman who comes to the Chiefs from the Miami Dolphins as the latest stop in his nine-year career. Kilgore served as the Dolphins starting center over the last two seasons, although his 2018 campaign was cut short by a season-ending injury after just a few weeks (a torn tricep muscle).
Just last week, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins and Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark followed that playbook to secure deals worth a combined $205 million in total.
The league collectively exhaled that business, at least for a few days, was pandemic-proof.
Dez Bryant left his tryout with the Baltimore Ravens without a deal, a source said Thursday.
It's possible the Ravens could add Bryant at some point, but the source said nothing is imminent with the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver.
Bryant, 31, is attempting to become the second Pro Bowl wide receiver to miss two full seasons and then to the NFL since the 1970 merger (Josh Gordon was the first), according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He hasn't played in a game since December 2017.

Welcome back to the sports cast. Thanks, Santiago. Appreciate it. Jeff, if you had one trade skill that you had to take on which trade school mean which trade would you be more interested in?
Jeff Fawver
Interesting. That's a good one.
Yeah, they're always looking for underwater welders and I just think that would be like, you'd be going in a different place every day and going to see the damn structures and all that and obviously then I could scope out the fishing spot.
And that seems like a Pennsylvania Thank you. Yeah, that seems like very Pennsylvania thing to do. I don't know if he could be a welder in Florida. I heard that's not possible but I could be wrong don't want correct correct me if I'm wrong, no matter expert on trade jobs or anything like that. Anyways, Jeff sad news, this past past 24 hours Ron Rivera from the Washington team's Washington team has been making news for the past three, four months has cancer. But he's plans to continue coaching. Rivera was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma located in his lymph node. The team said in a statement, Rivera said the cancer is in the early stages and considered very treatable and curable. Jeff, how much of an impact is this for the Washington football team?
I'm sure he's gonna have to delegate a little bit more than he normally would have. Obviously, from the statement that he released, it sounds as though you know, they caught it early. So it's very treatable, as you mentioned, which is that all things considered obviously, but it's certainly going to cause other members on the coaching staff to take on a heavier load. So you're going to have to have quality depth in your coaching staff as much as you are On your roster, so it's certainly a it'll certainly be a big challenge but I do think not that I know everything but from what I've seen, Rivera did put together a pretty good veteran coaching staff.
As you were saying veteran coaching staff, how do you rate this team? I know they have Dwayne Haskins, potentially or probably will be the starter for this squad. And then Alex Smith is making some noise that he might come back. But how would you rate this squad in a very deep NFC East?
What I watched the Redskins last year, I actually thought their front seven had a lot of talent. And even just their defense as a whole had a lot of talent. Like a lot of teams, if you don't figure out the quarterback position, it's hard for the rest of your roster to really shine. So figuring out what they're going to do a quarterback will be important. I don't know if I'll be able to be back To be himself after the level of injury that he had, but to me this almost feels as you know, you hate to see the guy keep going through it but to me it feels as though the, the Alex dispense with Kaepernick and mahomes all over again, where you bring in Alex let him play early, and then eventually you hope that haston can take over. So if I had to bet one way or another, I can see it playing out that way. But that's also assuming that Alex can can play at a high level after that injury. I mean, it really I believe they picked up case Keenum it really surprised me to see Keenum actually be the starter in the very early parts of the season.
There is another quarterback named Mr. Cow Allen, he's also in the squad I mean, is he also a another quarterback? Do you think that could you know that that could take over the starting role?
I don't think so. I think he's more of a depth player. I don't know I don't see him being a sorter. Obviously, surprises happen, you never know. But and certainly think that he's a he's a role player.
Yeah to be corrected case Keenum is with the Cleveland Browns.
we're close. Very close but
yeah, case Keenum I believe you signed this past summer of course Casey kinome was a phenomenal quarterback when he when he was moved with Minnesota and then went to Denver afterwards. Denver didn't really work out for case Keenum and then I guess he's with the browns. So I guess he'll be the baker Mayfield a role model I guess.
You hope so anyway.
Well anyways, the Washington football team, of course are in the conference with the Cowboys with the eagles and who's the fourth team The Giants the Giants That's right. But that conference It feels like is a Dallas gonna win it type of field doesn't it?
So I like Dallas roster a lot but should never ever look the Eagles. Doug Peterson is a great coach. When I mean with Lance was just all about health. I mean, Wentz is healthy. He's really a quality quarterback. So and then last year, he's healthy until the playoffs. He missed so many receivers. So I think as long as Eagles stay relatively healthy, they're going to be right there. The Cowboys. I mean, look, the Cowboys have a ton of talent. I mean, there's no disputing that. So they very well could win that division. But I still I still like the Eagles in that division.
Yeah, Eagles of course, with Carson Wentz as a starter they won the Super Bowl a few years ago. But this Dallas team had a lot of pickup you know these past couple months, so we'll see how they go. Big news for the Chiefs Jeff cheese are not allowed to wear native anything. We're not allowed to wear anything associated with American Indians. They announced the rules yesterday for fans attending home games at Arrowhead Stadium. They're not gonna allow hair dresses or certain types of face paint and effort to be more sensitive to Native Americans. And that will be starting beginning this season. I know the chiefs are known to put some face paint on and make that the arrowhead chop um, I believe it's called, what are your thoughts about this or you think it's kind of going a little a little bit like overboard?
So I think you can check it out on Twitter. I retweeted some comments from a lady named Connie. No She's, you know, she's been to Spain for a really long time to Native American, Native American. Um, so, you know, I really, throughout all of this even both, like going back to the last couple years, I've always listened to her on a lot of this because she's very much engaged in that community. So I think that her voice have a lot of merit. And I didn't get to read everything that she shared that interviewed her for the, for a local TV station. But the cliffsnotes version is, I believe that she said that it would make the make it would make the most sense if they do away with the headdress, and the, you know, the tribal painting, but the chop is okay, as long as you're not doing this as other things. So, you know, I look at that, and I say, you know what, If this is something that the Native American community doesn't like, or isn't comfortable with, then you really shouldn't be, you really shouldn't be doing it, you know, and that is, you know, that's something that is. I don't want to say sacred to them, but it's important to their culture. And if it makes them feel minimized, because we're using it for the sake of sport, then, you know, who am I to tell them that they're wrong about their own heritage and their own culture? So, you know, my view on that is, you really need to pay attention to the Native American voices. And I think I will to this I do. I do feel that just based on what we know, right now, core Khan has always had pretty good relations with the tribes in the Kansas City area. I think you've made fair and honest efforts. To keep the truth about good graces, graces. So at the end of the day, just to put it black and white, as long as, as long as these things are coming from Native Americans and thought somebody in Washington DC, or Portland or any other, you know, city that's not related to the tribe, then I do think you should listen to them. And I, maybe I'm being a little bit biased just because I've interacted with with Connie for a long time. But when she speaks, I listen. Because you can tell that she really, really cares deeply about it. And you can tell that she really pays attention. And her community is important to her. So when you see someone like that share their opinion, I think carries a lot of weight. And I think we have to listen to people like her.
Yeah, which I'm pretty sure that the cheese probably did. Listen to her. Some other groups out there. Concerning with this, of course, the Washington football team change their name from the Redskins into the Washington football team, which I think they should keep it like that. But of course they're gonna have a new name next season and the ramifications to change the name is a huge process because you gotta change the uniform you gotta change other stuff. I've seen it when I've done it for my clients when I had to rebrand their website is like whole process change their email addresses. And of course with the with the Washington football team. They got to do a lot of changes. Um, would you say that, uh, you foresee potentially or wherever you heard that, like they could change the Kansas City Chiefs to another name or you think like the Chiefs will be here to stay?
Well, oh, you know, I look, I say the Chiefs name itself is not derogatory. So, my hope and this might be more hope than what what Be come to fruition, you know, my hope is that they make some of these herbs to be more I guess more reasonable or, you know, to be more understanding if they do these things, then the actual name said be okay. You know, that's my view on it. And, you know, I just I don't look at the name of Teespring itself as being something derogatory. It's the representations that are being used around that that are being asked to be changed.
something to definitely look at Of course, there's some other sports scenes with indian names like the Blackhawks but of course there was, hasn't been much of a protest with that. But for the Horde, the Redskins it's been like that for a while. I believe they've been protesting that man for the past 10 years or so. And of course, once Amazon pressured I believe no, it was Nike who removed like their apparel. So they had that forced to change the name. So it's quite interesting how things panned out. Travis, Kelsey, Jeff and the Chiefs have agreed to a parameter of a four year extension that would tie Kelsey to the cheese for the next six seasons. is Kelsey keeper.
Absolutely. And, you know, obviously he'll be well into his mid 30s by the time it's over. But the nice thing about with the tight end position, you know, as these guys get older, they lose some of their athleticism. But Kelsey is a great route runner. And you look at the track of guys like Jason Witten until they get as they got older. They didn't make as many plays down the field, but they still make plenty of plays. You know, we're great in the red zone. That's what Kelsey will be. You know, Kelsey, in these next couple years, probably still won't be the guy catching 30 yard passes down the field. But because of the receivers he's surrounded by, he won't always pass to be that guy. So I think it's great to keep him locked up as long as possible. And I hope he plays the rest of his career with the cheese.
You think he's the most important receiver for the cheese right now? Or do you think it's hell?
Yeah, man, that's a tough one. I think
why I asked
I think, yeah, I mean, I think because the Chiefs have Nicole Hartman. If Hill misses some games, then I think you have to say it's Kelsey, just because the talent they have behind Kelsey can't do anywhere close to the things that he does. But I will say tyreke The thing about tyreke hill that you can't replace, because he just has about once in a lifetime speed. And with the games that he didn't play teams really started to take more chances against the chiefs. They weren't quite as fearful of getting beat. up on that, too was the same as Marcus was banged up around the same time. So it wasn't just that it was out. I think though, man, that is a tough one to answer though, because tyreke does open up the entire office. Like when Tyree kills on the field, you really can't play an eight man front, because you need to devote safety help to him on pretty much every play. So I do think Hill is the bigger X Factor, but just on a down to down basis. Like if it's 35 and you really need to play. The chiefs are going to go to Kelsey more than they go to Hill. It's just that hill opens up the offense so much just because of his unique athletic ability. And he's become a really good receiver too. He's not just the run fast jump high guy. He's a quality route runner and a good overall receiver. But
is Kelsey that gronk guy that you know Brady would pass Kelsey I mean We're past the gronk all the time, just as mahomes would I mean, we're mahones passed to Kelsey all the time compared to how Brady passes to gronk.
Absolutely. I mean, Kelsey is the first time I've ever had four consecutive thousand yards. Yeah, he, he produces, you know, he just he produces he, I mean puts up monster numbers. Great Red, vertical threat. Like I said, he won't always be a vertical threat, but still right now he is. So there's really nothing he can't do. And, you know, his blocking out in space is actually pretty good, too. And he's not a dominant inline blocker like some of the other guys. You know, like you're George kittel. And even they're grown. But the idea that Kelsey is a liability as a blocker is not true, either. I mean, I think he's a quality still a quality blocker.
The season begins September 10, Jeff, the first three games of the Chiefs Max's the chargers and the Ravens looks a little bit tense but how would you write that first three games for the Chiefs? Then you get the Patriots one week four
week week. Week One is going to be so unpredictable because there is no preseason that I'm really interested to see. I think now more than ever coaching is going to separate teams because of the weird offseason and their preseason. That week one game. I you know, obviously with no fans in the stands, I guess being the home team is a gigantic advantage, but that's a small advantage being at home. But then the other thing to me is just that the Texans have had more turnover than the chiefs. The Chiefs bring back just about every starter. So that's a big deal. I want to say that after the innovator leaves leaf opted out, they still brought back 19 out of 22 starters. So really, that's great when you have an all season like it's been, well, you don't have as much time to get your new guys acclimated. That's important. So the Chiefs will have continuity. Now with the Texans, they've, they have a new defensive coordinator. They traded arguably the best player or second best player on the entire team to the Cardinals, they traded Hopkins. So it's going to take time for Watson to get on the same page with the new receivers. Now they still have hold overs to like will fuller who will be, you know, well for when he's healthy is one of the most dominant downfield threats from the NFL.
Yeah, but one good game last season.
Oh, yeah. But at the same time, he, you know, he's not been on Jayhawk. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins, for the better part of the last four or five years has been in that conversation for the best receiver in the NFL. And it's always hard to say one guy is but he's in the conversation. So to lose that you You know, you can't on one hand say oh this guy's amazing he's great and then on the other hand say they won't mess up you know it's got to be one or the other.
Oh, he'll be missed.
Yeah and I just feel that that plays in the chief saver and then when you look at the Chargers you know their quarterback situation as of right now a bit of a mess because they're either gonna start tyrod Taylor or they're gonna throw the rookie in the fire. And either way, that's just not you know, I'm not saying Herbert can't be a good quarterback but I don't think he's going to be a good NFL quarterback. Day one, especially when
there's no preseason.
Yeah, no pre seasons limited. You know, practice reps limited offseason. Yeah, I think they almost have to start Taylor. But the problem is, you know what Taylor is and it isn't. It isn't real good.
isn't too rosy Raven love it.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not. I'm not I don't want to bash the guy but
let's be honest, Jeff. We're at the sports guys.
Yeah. He's being given chances and he just hasn't produced that answer. You know, I'm not saying he can't he doesn't belong on a roster or anything like that, but you're not going to make a deep playoff run with him as your starting quarterback.
Next game is the Ravens. Will we see the 2019 Lamar Jackson or we're gonna see a dip from him?
Well, I think I have a great season. You know, at the end of the day would have been so simple. You know, when you get into really, when you play really quality teams or you get into playoff games, then when you get to that point, you've got to make more plays with your arms and your legs. And that's just the step that Jackson has to take. And I you know, he's not a finished product, yet. He's still going to continue to grow. You know, the one thing I noticed about him in that playoff game against the Titans, everything he threw outside of the numbers was heavily contested. And just to the naked eye, it seemed to me He didn't trust what he was saying. So he was late throw the ball off. And that's something that I don't know how much of that.
I think some of it you can you can obviously take the home. But at the same time he, I mean, he's gonna have to I don't know how to say it like if they want a Super Bowl, he's gonna have to now what I will say the plays in their favor that ravens defense is loaded.
on the defense. Yeah, I mean, especially in the secondary just off the top of my head. I mean, they they have an argument as the best secondary in the NFL. You know, Marcus Peters, is the ultimate risk reward corner and he doesn't get like either. I'm not saying he never gets beat, but he doesn't get beat as much as people make it out to be. And then you have Marlon mumphrey that is just a legit number one corner. So really, the Ravens have like to number one quality corners
who will garden hill?
Oh, well he'll play the last time they played the raven so it's hard to say but I would think about three would be on sale. And then Marcus Peters would play on either Sammy Watkins or Nicole Hardman
be interesting game. Wow.
And then we have our old Thomas who's gonna have to contend with Kelsey eliminate some big plays. But it's hard to say. I think the Ravens ravens biggest problem last year wasn't much of the past for us. So they brought in Columbus Campbell to help with that. So I mean, Campbell. I think he can still play, but at the same time,
he's not all there was take a risk.
Yeah, you want to you want to take a risk when you bring in guys that are past their prime because they can hit that wall at any time. Yeah, so I understand why the Ravens did it because the Ravens The Braves are playing to win a Super Bowl this year. I mean, point blank, the Ravens are playing to win at all this year.
This could be their year, Jeff. It could be an AFC Championship between you guys and the Ravens.
Yeah, I mean, I could see that happening. But you know, the thing that's gonna be difficult though is the Steelers. I mean, the floors have a viable argument as being the second best team.
Now, they always say that I don't believe it.
I do because their defense was rock solid. I don't know offense. They were just such a disaster quarterbacks that they
they have no running back, Jeff.
But Roethlisberger, assuming, you know, I know. Ross was burgers last full season. He loved the NFL in interceptions. So I don't I don't think it's reasonable to say that Roethlisberger is just going to magically be what he was.
I don't think so. Dude, I think he's peaked. I think he's peaked. I'm sorry. But
yeah, he's 38. I mean, he's a But I also think he'll be better than colleges or Mason Rudolph. So give them a chance
to say the least.
Yeah, I mean,
he just you don't think they found the solution like the like the replacement. You don't think they found him yet?
No, I don't I don't think the Steelers house I think clue who's going to be quarterback after. I mean, it sounded like they tried to find that, but it didn't quite work out. Interesting
that that would have been a good pickup. Yeah. I would have gotten I would have gotten him
if he gets his act together, I suppose.
But apparently he's the future for the saints. So
I mean, he could be the quarterback. whisperer, but one of the better quarterback coaches in the NFL.
Would you rather be mentored by Drew Brees or rothenberger? Freeze. Yeah, me too. I agree. Because it's one of the best quarterbacks in the last 10 years. Anyways, and week four, Jeff, I know as a patron is a type A minus Tom Brady minus gronk. But you said bill check and a guy named Cam Newton. Is that a week for that you look like it's winnable. I mean, what do you think?
Well, it's definitely winnable. But the Patriots are just gonna play ugly ball and the defense is still loaded. So defense still has plenty of great players again, especially in the secondary you know, I said about the Ravens might have the best secondary in the NFL the Patriots are gonna be right in that conversation.
Yeah, so we got talent, still
just gonna try to, you know, they're not just gonna roll over and die and the Patriots are still gonna win some games when they win the AFC East. Oh, I think this is the year that the bills get over the hump and win the division, but I think it's gonna come down to the last couple weeks and I I still think the Patriots are like going to be writing it until the very end. So I don't think it'll be easy, but I think the bills, I really like the bills going out and getting big. So I think I think that'll give them just enough to win that division.
It might come down to a game Yes. Yeah, I think it will. I think it will. Questions from the comments on fantasy Would you rather take Metcalf or lock it?
Lock it, why lock it down? But I think that casting more prominent will actually. So my thing about locket he's one of those guys that seems to always get open somehow. And anytime you your best option across from you as a rookie, they're going to take their chances against the rookie. I think Metcalf is going to be that big play guy but I think lock it will be more consistent on a week to week basis.
Jafar, it could be a ESPN NFL analyst, but he's an analyst for the sports guys has a better deal right there. Um, a guy named Daniel Kilgore sign with the chiefs. You don't know who he was, but he he used to. He used to play for the dolphins and he's 32 years old. He is a veteran offensive lineman. I've heard anything since I told you that news last night.
Yeah, I just it sounds as though he's gonna be in the left at the center position. Yeah, um, you know, this this time of year, this time of year, you're always looking for competition. You know, you never want especially on the interior offensive line that the Chiefs have been a little bit blocks, with parties opting out, and then they found the assembly as a free agent, who, when he's healthy is really good. But the interior of the offensive line of the Chiefs has some questions. So I think it's a matter of they wanted to bring in some veterans and whoever whoever starts is is going to have to earn so I think that was The biggest part of it, I think they just I think it's competition. I don't know if we'll make the team for sure. But at the very least, you know you have a guy that that can push people and if he does make the team it's because he earned it
Jeff but there is a track record a lot of players that leave Miami typically do a frickin I mean like awesome when they go to their new team so
Hey, baby, you never know. I mean, maybe he ends up getting that starting position
you might get I got a steal for him. It's like a cheap contract and in the time of COVID cuz I'm I mean, I don't know because I'm business minded type of guy when and when I think of players see players getting signed during these past couple months like can that team really afford them? And next couple months. Poll question. A couple months. It Yeah, it is hopefully well, which we were talking about this before. This month feels a little bit more normal. It's not normal, but feels Little bit more normal versus July so hopefully September with the Chiefs have announced still have 25% of fans in their in their stadium. So that's not bad.
It's something it's better than nothing. You know, I wonder if
if the tickets will be like, double 200 bucks to get in. It could be
It's not gonna be cheap. And it's pretty hard to find because chiefs are going crazy. They're the defending Super Bowl champions and we'll see if they repeat it but the guy go through Lamar Jackson in week three pulled Question of the day if you were in at a senior citizen Jeff and maybe in 50 years probably. Which exercise Would you like to be doing still running? flash long walks, weightlifting, playing team sports or swimming,
weightlifting,
weightlifting, it is it is at first place is running long walks. And then weightlifting came in afterwards then playing team sports and swimming at zero. I don't know why swimming is good. You know, you don't have to worry about ruin your knees or anything. Right? I mean swimming your contact list. It's like he's an Apple Pay, you know you don't touch anything you'll give the card you just you know, and a lot of players that have gone through near injuries have to do some swimming exercises. I think it's called calisthenics. I don't know. I'm not a fitness guy. Anyways, Jeff, if people have questions about Metcalf and Lockett, what's the best way to read you?
Best way to follow along is at JP over on Twitter.
That's going to be a good team. You know, it's funny, I was hearing a person on a podcast saying that Russell Wilson is the safest quarterback when it comes to fantasy. I agree with that person.
Oh boy, I don't know. He is a longer track record than mahomes but man with the weapon mahomes has, I think he's a pretty safe bet to
because here's why. Russell I mean, I'm thinking Wilson doesn't get much injuries or doesn't really know throw much turnover. So I think that's why people are saying he's the safest versus Yes, Lamar Jackson could give you like, you know, yardage and awesome homes, but I think Russell's like, good safe, that he won't get injured or do many turnovers. But, you know, it's another argument for another podcast, right? Yes, sir. Jafar, NFL three weeks great show.
Yeah, wait.

Recently, I went on a media/trade trip to Spain to visit the Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-a-net") properties. I learned about their famous Cava, the sparkling wine made in the Method Champenoise (more on that in another post).
But besides Cava, I learned about many other wines of Cataluña (also known as Catalunya and Catalonia) that Freixenet produces. The Cataluña region is in the northeast corner of Spain, bordering France (map courtesy Wikimedia Commons). This post will focus on the marvelous wines of the Morlanda winery in Priorat, a district within the Cataluña region.
windmills, is prevalent in the region. Of course, windmills have been prevalent in Spain for millennia, most famously in La Mancha, thanks to the medieval novel, Don Quixote.
Tunnels and caves are common in the region, and mining is an important industry. The area has wonderful architecture; buildings are often 1,000 years old. We passed many lovely groves of olive trees and almond trees. Because of the steep hills, terracing is used frequently, both in farming and in unique applications such as the graveyard pictured above. Stone walls are abundant as well.
The beautiful Morlanda winery, near the town of Bellmunt del Priorat in Cataluña, is at the end of a winding country road with charming vineyards, both large and small, tucked into hillsides on the way.
The oenologist at Morlanda is Judit Llop. Women are strongly represented in the Freixenet family. Judit has been at Morlanda for 11 years. Like many winemakers, she hails from a farming family. She has a team of three others who work with her to taste the blends together, bottle, and label the wines. Morlanda farms sustainably and uses probiotics on the vines. The whites are steel fermented, and French and American barrels are used for the reds; the winery uses their barrels for three years.
Bordered by the great Montsant mountains, the area's soil consists of chalk and clay, and the climate is very dry. With a special dispensation from the officials who govern the DOQ (Denominació d'Origen Qualificada), Morlanda is allowed to irrigate, but only for the first four years of new vines' existence. Daytime temperatures can be brutally hot—up to 120°F. I visited in the benign month of April and temps were already notably warm.
Grapes grown at Morlanda include White Garnacha, Garnacha, and Carignan; some of the vines are 90 years old. The winery has also started planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other varieties.
We barrel-tasted both whites and reds, as well as earlier vintages that had already been bottled. The beautiful 2005 Morlanda red, pictured to the left, is a delicious Carignan and Garnacha blend. This dark wine was resplendent with florals, raspberries, and plum sauce, as well as an interesting meat flavor.
The hillside towns are just beautiful.
We ate lunch in the town of Bellmunt del Priorat (pictured above and to the right), in a tiny restaurant called Fonda Cal Quel that was run by a brother and sister of a certain age in their 200-year-old home. The picture to the right was taken from the street/alley leading to their home/café; theirs is the first door on the left. Along with several wines from the Freixenet family including some from the Priorat as well as the Montsant district (the subject of another post), we were served salad, canneloni, local almonds and cashews, and an amazing beef stew with peas and onions. The stew was baked in their wood-fired oven, pictured below. For dessert we enjoyed flan, pound cake, and homemade whipped cream.
We were also introduced to The Spanish porrón, a little bota-like vessel that is typically used in Cataluña and the rest of Spain. A few of the more brave members of our group tried this ultimate method of aeration, with napkins at the ready, some more success- fully than others!
Graffiti was seen here and there but it wasn't obnoxious. Some of it was amusing and even very well done, such as this strange piece of street art in Bellmunt del Priorat.
In Priorat, trees are pruned like the grapevines so that they are gnarly. I enjoyed seeing many roundabouts and lovely European side streets that are such eye candy to my soul.
The wine pictured to the right, the 2009 Mas de Subirà, is a delicious blend of 60% Garnacha, 30% Carignan, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Weighing in at a whopping 15% ABV, it is an intense cherry red wine loaded with ripe red and black fruits and a layer of oak.
WEB NOTES: To make Morlanda, we choose the oldest plots on the estate which are nearly 50 years old. As for the winemaking process, we produce wine from each plot separately in 10,000 or 5,000 litre tanks. The estate is located in Bellmunt del Priorat. The vineyards surround the winery among rolling hills where we grow the vines on terraces facing different directions, which requires that we conduct thorough canopy management on each plot: shoot thinning, leaf pulling, different degrees of tipping, cluster thinning—a full range of tasks essential to achieving ripe, concentrated, healthy grapes, which are the key to making Morlanda. Soils are predominantly clay loam. The company also has four hectares located in another area of Bellmunt with slate soil characteristic of Priorat.

I received a bottle of Freixenet for a birthday gift in Feb. Years ago I would have re-gifted but given Spanish sparklings are made in the same method as champagne, I have become a huge fan of cava. Delicious but at a third the cost.
Congrats for this wonderful experience. This region is amazing and has a lot to offer!

Q: Flutter firebase_messaging and firebase_auth After adding firebase_auth: 0.18.1 to my project, push notification (onMessage) stop working on real iOS devices, but when app is minimized i receive pushes. On Android everything work properly.
I using this library to handle push firebase_messaging: ^7.0.2.
Development environment:

*

*Flutter 1.22.6

*Dart 2.20.5

My code to deal with push looks like that:
_firebaseMessaging.configure(
        onMessage: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async {
          showNotificationDialog(message);
        },
        onBackgroundMessage: FirebaseController.backgroundMessageHandler,
        onLaunch: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async {
          showNotificationDialog(message);
        },
        onResume: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async {
          showNotificationDialog(message);
        },
      );

On first run I ask for permissions
    _firebaseMessaging.requestNotificationPermissions(
        IosNotificationSettings(alert: true, badge: true, sound: true));
    _firebaseMessaging.onIosSettingsRegistered.listen((settings) {
      print("Settings registered:$settings");
    });

Right now i tried switch library version for messaging and auth, but this not help me.
I can not increase flutter or dart version because other libraries used in my app.
Do you have any suggestion what cause problem with receiving notifications?

This week Josh digs into the archives to find a show feeling somewhat new again. With the backlash coming from the release of Iron Fist and many people feeling fatigued on the average superhero film, it's difficult not to think about the future of the genre and if it can still go on like it is. This episode is about the oversaturation of the genre in an open discussion about comics, films, and how Marvel and Disney can continue to make money without killing one of their biggest money making products.

6105.0 - Australian Labour Market Statistics, Oct 2003
Labour market transitions of teenagers (Feature Article)
Technical report: New Labour Force Survey sample selections - analysis of the effect on estimates (Feature Article)
Feature Article - Technical report: New Labour Force Survey sample selections - analysis of the effect on estimates
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) provides timely and reliable information on the labour market activity of the usually resident civilian population of Australia aged 15 years and over. The survey has been conducted on a monthly basis since February 1978, and on a quarterly basis since 1960.
Every five years, following the Census of Population and Housing, the LFS sample design is reviewed to ensure that the survey continues to accurately reflect the geographic distribution of the Australian population, and remains both efficient and cost-effective. Following the review based on the 2001 Census, new LFS sample selections were introduced progressively over the period November 2002 to June 2003.
The new private dwelling sample (houses, flats, etc.) in larger urban centres and in the less remote parts of the remainder of the country (representing 82% of the total sample) was phased in over the period November 2002 to June 2003, with 1/8th of this portion of the sample being introduced each month. The remainder of the new sample, which covers less settled areas of Australia and non-private dwellings (hotels, motels, caravan parks, hospitals, boarding houses, etc.), was introduced in two stages: in November 2002 for New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory; and in December 2002 for Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. The Information Paper: Labour Force Survey Sample Design (cat. no. 6269.0) contains further details about the 2001 sample design.
IMPACT OF NEW SAMPLE
With this method of implementation, most of the changes to labour force statistics due to the introduction of the new sample should be spread over the eight months. This approach is broadly comparable with that adopted for the 1996 redesign. In contrast, the approach adopted for the 1981 redesign saw the new sample introduced in one month, while in the 1986 and 1991 redesigns, the new sample was introduced over four months.
The monthly growth in seasonally adjusted employment was higher than some commentators expected from November 2002 to January 2003, coinciding with the introduction of almost half of the new sample. In the remaining five months of the sample phase-in period, seasonally adjusted employment estimates fell by 68,300 persons.

Source: Labour Force Survey.
The phase-in of the new LFS sample was undertaken with an overriding objective of maintaining continuity of time series for LFS estimates. The ABS undertook a number of investigations to evaluate whether the phasing-in of the new sample had an impact on LFS estimates. These investigations included:
analyses of operational procedures associated with the new sample implementation
analyses of sampling variability during the phase-in period for the new sample, and
analyses of data from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing to compare the characteristics of incoming and outgoing rotation groups during the phase-in period of the new sample.
The ABS also conducted analyses using two alternative estimation methods that place greater emphasis on the sample that is common between consecutive months of the survey.
In conclusion, these analyses and investigations indicated that the implementation of the new sample had no major effects on the continuity of LFS estimates. As expected, the relative standard errors of estimates of monthly movement increased during the phase-in period. The analysis of the characteristics of incoming and outgoing rotation groups suggests how this increased sample variability might have manifested itself in practice each month. Both alternative estimation methods produced estimates of change in employment over the eight month phase-in period that are similar to the published figure, although with a less volatile pattern. While increased volatility is unavoidable during a phase-in period, these studies have suggested some changes to operational arrangements which may enable the ABS to control elements of that volatility a little better in the post-2006 Census redesign.
ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
ABS investigations of the possible impact of operational procedures on LFS estimates took a broad focus and included issues relating to: sample design; sample size; survey scope or definitions; response rates; selection; derivation and weighting programs; interviewers; coverage of non-private dwellings; and field and office procedures.
These investigations found no errors that could have contributed to the high employment growth during the phase-in period. There were a number of improvements made to the operational procedures used for the new sample, but these did not have a significant impact on the survey estimates.
SAMPLING VARIABILITY DURING PHASE-IN PERIOD
The ABS analysed sampling variability during the phase-in period of the new sample, focussing on standard errors for estimates of monthly change of employed, unemployed and not in the labour force.
The average sampling variability of level estimates (as measured by standard errors) associated with the new LFS sample design were expected to be broadly comparable to that of the previous sample. The same is true for movement estimates, once the phase-in is complete. However, standard errors of monthly movements were expected to be higher during the sample phase-in period, particularly for the months of November and December 2002.
In the LFS, households are interviewed each month for eight months, with 1/8th of the sample being replaced each month. The replacement (or rotation) of a sample is usually achieved by selecting another cluster of dwellings, generally in close proximity to the dwellings leaving the sample. As a result, the incoming rotation group is likely to possess similar socioeconomic and labour force characteristics to the outgoing rotation group.
The main difference during a phase-in period is that the outgoing rotation groups are not replaced by nearby dwellings. The incoming rotation groups are therefore more likely to exhibit different labour force characteristics to outgoing rotation groups while the new sample is being introduced.
There is no systematic difference between the outgoing and incoming groups. They are both 'random probability' samples of the Australian population, and they both create unbiased estimates of labour force characteristics.
The ABS estimated that the standard errors on estimates of monthly movements during the phase-in of the new sample, compared to estimates based on the old sample, would be increased by 5% for employed persons, 1% for unemployed persons and 3% for persons not in the labour force. The increase in standard errors was expected to be higher still for movements in November and December, as a result of the higher proportion of the new sample being introduced in November and December.
ANALYSIS OF CENSUS RESULTS
Sampling variability occurs because one group of respondents is randomly selected instead of another. It is possible to gain some insight into the specific differences between the outgoing 1996 sample and the incoming 2001 sample by using Collection District (CD) data from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. While this does not provide information on the differences that existed during the phase-in period, it does shed some light on the types of differences that existed between those CDs in 2001.
For example, the following table shows the employment to population ratio (EPR) for August 2001, for the CDs in the incoming rotation groups and for the CDs in the outgoing rotation groups, for each of the eight months of the sample phase-in period. Differences between the estimated EPRs for the incoming and outgoing rotation groups will contribute to sampling variability.

(c) Differences shown in this table refer to only one rotation group. The difference across all eight rotation groups would be approximately 1/8th of this.
Source: 2001 Census of Population and Housing.
The EPR was chosen as a measure to enable comparison of the level of employment between groups of different sizes. The EPRs for the CDs in incoming rotation groups were higher than those in outgoing rotation groups for the first three months (i.e. in November, December and January), lower for the following two months, higher again for the sixth month and quite similar for the last two months. Since the rotating sample moved, in the first three months, to geographic areas with higher EPRs at the time of the 2001 Census, there is a possibility that these rotation groups contributed to the growth in the LFS employment estimates in these months.
ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATION METHODS
Another way of examining the impact of the sample change is to use the information reported by respondents during the phase-in period, but use alternative estimators that are less sensitive to the sample rotation effects. Note that, while these estimators produce more stable estimates of monthly movement in situations like this, they have other properties that make them less attractive in the usual situations.
The two alternative estimation methods used (matched rotation group, and composite estimation) place greater emphasis on the sample that is common between consecutive months of the survey. See Note on Methodology at the end of this paper for more detail about these estimators.
One drawback to the matched rotation group method is that over time the resulting level estimates drift away from the true level. In addition, the seasonal adjustment process used for both of these analyses was only approximate because the seasonal adjustment was applied to 'hybrid' series. These 'hybrid' series were formed by appending the matched rotation group series (or composite estimation series) for November 2002 to June 2003, to the published employment series for the period to October 2002.
The following graph compares the seasonally adjusted matched rotation group and composite estimation employment series with the published series. The cumulative change in employment over the eight months of the sample phase-in for both alternative methods is similar to the published figure, although the matched rotation group series (and, to a lesser extent, the composite estimation series) has a less volatile monthly pattern than the published series.
IMPLICATIONS FOR 2006 LFS SAMPLE PHASE-IN
Alternative matching of rotation groups
Rotating in groups from different geographic areas during the phase-in period can have an impact on the sampling variability of the estimates. This is particularly the case when rotation groups with relatively high EPR are replaced by groups with relatively low EPRs, and vice versa.
This phenomenon can be alleviated somewhat by matching outgoing rotation groups with incoming rotation groups with similar EPRs (as measured in the most recent census), and thereby reducing the volatility in survey estimates. The graph below shows how a matching of incoming and outgoing rotation groups could have been used to reduce the differences between the EPRs of these groups.
Investigations for the phase-in of the 2006 LFS sample redesign will look at more closely matching outgoing rotation groups with incoming rotation groups, based on employment characteristics from the 2006 census. This may lead to smaller differences between the old and new samples, and to a smaller contribution of the sample phase-in to LFS sampling variability.
Timing of phase-in period
The 2001 sample redesign was phased in over a period of eight months from November 2002 to June 2003, with around 1/8th of the new private dwelling sample being introduced each month under existing sample rotation arrangements. This reduces the likelihood of dramatic movements directly due to the new sample phase-in, as well as providing operational advantages and helping to minimise sampling error. This strategy, and the timing, will be reviewed for the 2006 sample redesign, drawing upon experiences gained during the 2001 phase-in.

NOTE ON METHODOLOGY
Matched rotation group method
The matched rotation group method calculates monthly movements using the 7/8ths of selected dwellings that are common between consecutive months under the LFS rotation scheme (i.e. the incoming group of dwellings is dropped from the current month's estimate, and the outgoing group is dropped from the previous month's estimate).
The matched rotation group series shown in this paper has been derived by adding successive estimates of monthly movement (beginning with November 2002) to the published level estimate for October 2002, and then seasonally adjusting the whole series (as if it were a continuous time series). Hence the seasonally adjusted series is only approximate, because the matched rotation group estimates may have different seasonal characteristics from the published estimates. Also, analysis has shown that there is a small systematic difference in responses between the outgoing and incoming groups of dwellings in the LFS, related to the length of time that respondents have been in the survey. This results in a small bias in the matched rotation group estimates of monthly movement, which will accumulate over time as successive monthly movements are added to the employment estimate for October 2002.
In addition to accumulating bias, the matched rotation group method has higher standard errors than the published series, for estimates of employment change over periods longer than six months.
These deficiencies render the matched rotation group method inappropriate for other than short-term comparisons.
Composite estimation method
The composite estimation method calculates an unbiased estimate of the employment level for any given month. It gives most weight to the dwellings in common with the previous month, but also gives some weight to the outgoing and incoming dwellings. The composite estimation series shown in this paper has been derived by combining original estimates for the period November 2002 to May 2003 with published (original) estimates for the period to October 2002, and then seasonally adjusting the whole series (as if it were a continuous time series). Hence, although the composite estimation method is sound, the seasonally adjusted series is only approximate, because the composite estimates may have slightly different seasonal characteristics from the published estimates.
Further details of the matched rotation group and composite estimation methods can be found in an article in the May 1998 issue of Australian Economic Indicators (cat. no. 1350.0).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A: In your css for container div's, remove overflow: hidden
#headerBox, #mainBox, #subBox, #footerBox
Surely, you will encounter some other problems, but that's the answer ...

A: Or add overflow:auto. or overflow:auto!important;
If that does work and brings up a scroll on the x and y axis. Then best to try overflow-x:auto;
Good luck!

A: You've set it to overflow: hidden! This hides the content. Change it to overflow: auto, or better still, delete it!

Lil Wayne, Kodak Black among pop culture figures granted clemency on Trump's final day in office
Sonia Rao
Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were among those offered clemency by President Donald Trump on his final day in office, the White House announced early Wednesday. Also pardoned in the entertainment sphere was Death Row Records co-founder Michael "Harry-O" Harris.
Lil Wayne, 38, hadn't yet been sentenced after pleading guilty in December to carrying a loaded firearm while traveling on a private jet. The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was prohibited from owning guns because of a past felony conviction and faced up to 10 years in prison. When Carter was charged in November, his attorney, Howard Srebnick, cited an appellate dissenting opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett arguing that permanently barring a nondangerous felon from gun ownership violated the Second Amendment.
Administration officials previously told The Washington Post that Trump was considering Carter for a pardon. The rapper had expressed his support for Trump just days before the November election, sparking controversy when he tweeted, "Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump," along with a photo of the two men. Carter also mentioned the "Platinum Plan," which the Trump campaign described at the time as an effort to "increase access to capital in black communities by almost $500 billion over four years" (and on which the rapper Ice Cube reportedly consulted).
Kodak Black, sentenced in November 2019 to nearly four years in prison, also received a pardon on Wednesday. The rapper, who changed his legal name from Dieuson Octave to Bill Kapri, had pleaded guilty to weapons charges stemming from his arrest at the Rolling Loud Festival in May 2019. In a court filing, he admitted to lying about his criminal history while acquiring firearms.
Other charges against Kapri, 23, have involved kidnapping, drug possession and sexual assault, with some still pending. In April 2019, the Associated Press reported that he had been charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly assaulting a high school student after a 2016 concert in Florence, S.C., and that he faced a maximum sentence of 30 years.
The U.S. district judge who handed down Kapri's weapons-related sentence of 46 months reportedly told him at the time: "Young people do stupid things and I normally give them a break for that. The problem is that you have been doing stupid things since 15."
Harris, 59, was granted clemency Tuesday after Snoop Dogg worked with activists to advocate for the record label co-founder, according to the Daily Beast. The publication spoke with Alice Marie Johnson - the criminal justice reform activist whose life sentence was commuted by Trump in 2018 at the urging of Kim Kardashian West, among others - who said she had spoken with senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner about Harris, who has served nearly 30 years on attempted-murder and drug-trafficking charges.
Harris, whose sentence was supposed to last through late 2028, helped finance the storied (and now defunct) West Coast label known for signing Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur.
Johnson noted that, despite Snoop Dogg's criticism of Trump, the rapper is "appreciative" of what Trump has done "in terms of getting folks released from prison."

Q: Master/Slave implementation and load balancing on SOAP services with Spring Boot application There are 2 web services A and B to communicate with each other and external system.
Information

*

*A consumes many different data from external system periodically. (each data separately)

*Also, clients send some data to A.

*A is sending the data to B.

*Communication is over the SOAP according to wsdl.

*Written in Spring Boot/Java.

What I tried

*

*Implemented micro services structure basically for load balancing such as Registry Service (Netflix Eureka) and API Gateway (Netflix Zool).

*Integrated A service with registry service.

*Created 2 A service for load balancing.

*Tried some examples on it.

At this point;

*

*How can I set up a Master/Slave for A and B services?

*How can avoid the consuming request from A over multiple instances?
Every A service will request for consuming separately

*In these scenarios, Every incoming request passing through Zuul then A instances. What about the outgoing requests on A over multiple instances? Should we pass the outgoing requests over Zuul or similar?

*How can I set up a Zuul or similar implementation on B service?

Thank you for now.

The quirky British — naturally — were the first to come up with the wacky concept of a rattlesnake quick, high-class station wagon (the "shooting brake" Aston Martin). But leave it to the Germans to one-up the Brits. Audi's S4 2.7T Avant is the only twin-turbo, six-speed, all-wheel-drive sportwagon in the world. It's just the ticket for hauling the dog — and hauling butt — all at the same time.
The only thing missing is a microwave in the glovebox and a shower somewhere in the back. The S4 2.7T has pretty much everything else you could think of to put in a car, including heated door locks and washer nozzle jets.
It's also quick, with the standard intercooled, twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 jamming 250 hp through the S4-only six-speed (a less fun five-speed automatic is available) and standard quattro all-wheel-drive system. The tenacious quattro setup allows the S4 to get going even when just one wheel has decent traction — so it's great in snowy/wet weather as well as superb on dry pavement. Few true high performance cars (let alone wagons) offer this kind of all-weather capability.
Though it's turbocharged, the S4's engine does not feel turbocharged — at least not in the sense of that "rush" one experiences with most turbocharged engines. It's very torquey throughout the rev range — a characteristic of other Audi turbo engines, such as the 1.8-liter four used in the A4. There is no turbo boost gauge to betray the turbo's presence. Not much sound, either — it just goes.
Some fiddling is in order for the six-speed's shifter, which feels vague and even econo-boxy compared to the excellent, ratchety, precision-machine sensation of better-actuated gearboxes, such as the ones found in the Honda S2000 or Chevy Corvette. Audi should contract with Hurst or some outfit like that to get the action right.
The S4 is also a little on the small side, being based on the compact A4. That puts it, size-wise, in the same class as the $31,150 BMW 325xi sportwagon, which also has an all-wheel-drive system. But the 325xi is nowhere near as powerful — it has just 185 hp and no six-speed, and in the grand pecking order of German machinery, it's a little down the food chain. Though the S4 is considerably more expensive, it has that all-important curb appeal the more common 325xi can't match. And the more powerful 330xi does not come in wagon form.
The S4 also outdoes the much larger Mercedes-Benz E320 4Matic — which costs substantially more ($51,500) and has less power, too (a comparatively meager 221 hp and no manual transmission option at all). The Mercedes has more room, but is less fun; you also get to pay an extra $10k for the added space.
A world of its own
Closest in feel, size and concept to the S4 is the 230-hp Saab 9-3 Viggen four-door hatchback — so long as it's summertime. Though turbocharged and similarly powerful, the $37,995 Viggen lacks AWD even as an option. A peaky, high-output turbo engine and tires designed for dry pavement traction are not the hot ticket when the flakes begin to fall. If you buy the Viggen, you'd better have an SUV in the garage as backup.
The S4 is thus pretty much a world unto itself at the moment. No other sportwagon has the combination of features — luxury, high-performance and real-world functionality — that Audi has built into this interesting, exceptionally fun-to-play-with vehicle.
Like the A4 on which it is based, the S4 2.7T is also available in sedan form for a bit less money ($38,900). But the added usefulness of the new-for-2001 Avant version, not to mention the distinctiveness of being the only twin-turbo, six-speed wagon, makes the Avant worth the nominal increase in sticker price. Avants also come standard with a roof/ski rack.
In addition to most everything you'd get on a loaded A4 2.8 Quattro, the S4 2.7T gets outfitted with special sport buckets with leather trim and "Alacantara" suede inserts. These seats are supportive but also a little hard, especially on long journeys. More cushioning would be nice. The S4's special sport suspension, however, is nicely modulated, delivering a commendable compromise between the welded-solid feel of a full-on race car and the smooth ride of a luxury sedan. It has plenty of grip for any sane kind of street driving and feels solid and stable cruising at high speed.
Audi's Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), which is a combination of traction control and anti-skid control, is also standard. Upgraded brakes and fast-ratio steering, along with P225/45YR17 tires on 17-inch rims, round out the S4's performance upgrades.
Major optional equipment includes an electric sunroof (along with Homelink remote transmitter for the garage door and auto dimming inside and outside mirrors) for $1200, heated front seats for $450 and Audi's GPS-based navigation system for another $1280.

Exit Real World's Closure Could Point to our Underinvestment in Transit
In a comment the other day, a reader pointed out that Exit Real World, which was located adjacent to the transit mall at the corner of High and Chemeketa, a year ago closed in Salem but stayed open in Portland.
The correlation with payroll taxes and transit is interesting: They paid zero in payroll tax for transit in Salem, and continue to pay a much higher rate on payroll in Portland.
And, again, the Portland store (206 NW 23rd) remained open when they closed the Salem store.
Back in 2012, Holiday Retirement also moved corporate offices from Salem to Lake Oswego, which collects the payroll tax for transit as well.
So that is evidence, n=2 anecdotal evidence anyway, that paying more payroll tax for better transit could be related to business prosperity. And that "free" payroll tax in Salem for not-very-good transit could be a factor in business struggle and even failure.
That old bromide of "you get what you pay for" and all?
Back to Exit Real World, this is speculation, but it seems like the customer demographics would include a large proportion of youth, many of whom would be transit dependent. Because we don't have evening or weekend service, they would lack transportation here when they are not in school.
The story in the paper a year ago in August seems to support this hypothesis:
Exit Real World, a staple of downtown for 21 years that at one point had five stores in Oregon, will close the store that started it all on Saturday to focus on its remaining location in Portland.
Owners Jake Hauswirth and Missy Samiee said the business has struggled in recent years through the recession and with competition from online retailers and chain stores. While focusing on their more successful Portland location makes sense for the married couple, they said they're disappointed to leave a community that has supported them for the past two decades.
"Thanks to parents for driving their kids down here at 5:30 after work — we know that's not easy," said Samiee, who has three kids of her own. "As much as we love it here — Jake and I are both from Salem and have lived here our whole lives — it's just a bit easier on the day-to-day." [italics added]
From Existing Conditions Report,
Jarrett Walker + Associates
(Additional notes in red added;
when employment stabilized, transit still declined)
There are other factors too, of course, to which the bit quoted here alludes. But it sure looks like the lack of easy transportation for youth was also an important ingredient in the business problems that led to the closure. If the recession and changing retail patterns already made things challenging, reductions in transit likely compounded the difficulties.
And this looks like it could be evidence from one business that investing in transit is just that, an investment in customers and in increased transactions, and not a jobs-killing drain on business enterprise.
And it seems like there is an opportunity to collect stories from businesses that have been harmed by the reduction in service from 2009 and whose businesses may not have rebounded in tandem with the general rebound in the business economy or stock market. Is it really that difficult to document the impact of disinvestment in transit on business? The business case for transit isn't that difficult to make, is it?
Two examples aren't proof, of course, but they might point towards a hypothesis that Cherriots would do well to investigate.
Labels: Cherriots Studies and Plans
Good post. Is there one example going the other direction? Where a business left Portland (or Corvallis, Eugene) because of the payroll tax? Seems that if the Chamber's priorities were working we would see at least one example.
I didn't even know Exit Real World was on NW 23rd. That is a perfect example of a quality urban environment that supports healthy transit. It has exploded since the street car came in. Critics of the area will say that the street car has triggered gentrification. In other words (from a business point of view) it has been TOO successful in attracting wealthy shoppers! So successful that they are scrambling so cope with many of the consequences (which are real and serious issues).
Yeah no, they failed in a small town when the fad faded. Not that unheard of. Making up correlations just to push a tax agenda is bad. A lot of businesses in that area are doing just fine.
Transit agenda not tax agenda. If the anti tax agenda worked businesses would be flocking here from all the higher taxed areas around the state. That is not happening. Salem's .6% growth rate is second to last in the state.
Is 160,000 people a small town? It definitely doesn't have the charm of a small town nor does it have the services or amenities of a city. This just shows how hard people are fighting to keep it that way.

Compare to LTD's ridership and the Eugene/Springfield economic situation and tax burden. Lots of details in the LTD financial report:
http://www.ltd.org/comprehensive-annual-financial-reports/
Good numbers starting on page 85.
Respectfully, this might be one of the worse attempts at correlation I have seen in my career.
Salem is a sprawl town. Public transportation will always be of low impact no matter how much money you throw at it. Sad but true.
Most people with any disposable income in this town have a car.
Most people that ride public transportation in Salem have very little disposable income. Have you seen the studies of the typical bus rider in Salem? Sure there are some state employees that ride the bus, but its small and they don't spend a lot of money.
I think that any new revenue should be very simple to implement. Have you ever filled out payroll tax forms for Portland? Why add new administrative burdens to small business. Maybe add $200 annual flat tax to all businesses? Bump property taxes? Why create a new tax?
The transit system in Salem is terrible and is probably the reason most people choose to drive instead of ride the bus, but Exit Real World's real downfall was poor customer service and being about two blocks from a store with friendly service and almost half the price.
There isn't a direct correlation. Good transit service enables a better quality built environment and a better quality of life that cayuses more people to want to live in a city which increases the number of customers businesses have to draw from.
And there is a significant population in Salem that don't have a choice.
I disagree that the business climate in this area is healthy. High St. is still mostly closed on Sat. afternoons and Sundays. These are normally the busiest times in healthy areas. There is no reason why these businesses should absorb fixed costs and not be open generating revenue unless the business environment is extremely poor.
Re: the sprawling nature of Salem as compared to its southern neighbor. The metro areas are certainly different from one another, but Eugene/Springfield and Salem/Keizer are similar enough that it is worth comparing them. Data from Wikipedia, which usually right about this sort of stuff:
Eugene/Springfield area, population, and population density: 60 sq mi, 221,000 people, 3,683 people/sq mi
Salem/Keizer area, population, and population density: 55 sq mi, 198,000 people, 3,600 people/sq mi
That looks roughly the same to me. You could find minor differences, but Eugene/Springfield and Salem/Keizer have roughly the same population, area, and population density.
I wonder if the presence of 25,000+ UO students in Eugene/Springfield, all of whom have bus passes paid for with their student fees, makes a difference in the community's level of support for transit.
Food for thought, certainly.
Yes I think having an educated and enlightened population helps. Corvallis has free transit paid for by a fee on their water bill. Eugene also has innovative facilities like the EMX that have garnered them national awards. But we are just struggling for basic service in Salem and can't even think about doing anything innovative.

Lorica Hamata (Chain Maile)
The lorica hamata, or maile, was the "standard" armor before the introduction of the lorica segmentata, and it continued in use among auxiliaries and legionaries throughout the Imperial Period. It is not known what the ratio of hamata to segmentata might have been in the mid-first century AD, but mail shirts in the ranks is certainly acceptable, especially depending on the period of 1st Century impression a member intends to portray. Mail was also worn by standard-bearers, musicians, and centurions, and of course by auxiliary troops.
A Long History
The hamata was used by soldiers of the Roman Republic and later, the Roman Empire. During the 1st century AD it was starting to be supplemented by lorica segmentata, but was reintroduced as sole standard-issue armour by the 4th century AD. It was issued to both primary legionary and secondary auxilia troops and was mostly manufactured out of bronze or iron.
The Romans' knowledge of mail manufacture may have come from Third Century BC conflicts with the Celts, though the first documented use occurred during the Roman conquest of Hispania. There were several versions of this type of armour, specialized for different military duties such as skirmishers, cavalry and spearmen.
Careful Design
The shoulders of the lorica hamata had flaps which ran from about mid-back to the front of the torso, and were connected by brass or iron hooks which connected to studs riveted through the ends of the flaps. Up to 30,000 rings might have gone into one lorica hamata, and the estimated production time was something like two months, even with continual slave labor at the state-run armouries.
A Good Design
Although labor-intensive to manufacture, it is thought that, with good maintenance, a hamata could be used for several decades. Constant friction kept the rings of the lorica hamata free of rust, unlike the lorica segmentata, which needed constant maintenance to prevent corrosion.
Over its lifetime, lorica hamata remained in constant use by legionaries and it was the preferred armour of centurions, who favored its greater coverage and lower maintenance. The lorica hamata was still common amongst the legionary soldiers in the 2nd century AD, despite the use of the more popularly recognized lorica segmentata segmented plate armour. Lorica segmentata was eventually discontinued in the third century AD for unknown reasons, but lorica hamata remained common for both legionaries and auxiliaries. Later versions had sleeves and covered the legs to the knees.
Roman mail was generally made of iron, with rings as small as 1/8" in diameter, in the common "4 in 1" pattern. Usually, half the rings were solid--either punched from sheet metal, or cut from wire and welded shut--while the rest were riveted shut. The solid rings were roughly square in cross-section, i.e., the difference between the ring's inner and outer diameter was the same not much greater than the thickness. The wire for the riveted rings could be round (usually) or square. While it was long believed that some Roman mail rings may simply have been butted shut, closer analysis of surviving fragments has not revealed any definite proof of that. There is evidence that the rings could be tinned or even gilded!
It comprised alternating rows of closed washer-like rings punched from iron sheets and rows of riveted rings made from drawn wire that ran horizontally, producing very flexible, reliable and strong armour. Each ring had an inside diameter of about 5 mm, and an outside diameter of about 7 mm.
Fitting or Tailoring
There does not seem to be any direct evidence that the Romans "tailored" their mail, adding or subtracting rings from certain rows to shape the shirt. Since mail naturally conforms to the body, any hamata will fit a number of different-sized people, even without tailoring.

Q: Single utility project but multiple use I can't think of a more precise title on this question - please update if you do have one.
I'm looking for an elegant solution to the following problem:
Given

*

*Project A Pa

*Project B Pb

*Project C Pc

Given

*

*Library 1 L1

*Library 2 L2

*Library 3 L3

I'd like some extensions (i.e. classes, extension methods) on L1. Pa and Pb wants to use L1 extensions. Solution: Create ExtensionsLibrary Lx1 and reference Lx1 in Pa and Pb.
Then, I'd like some extensions on L2. Pb and Pc wants to use L2 extensions, so I create ExtensionsLibrary Lx2 and refernce it in Pb and Pc.
More ideal would be to have solution Lx (a single ExtensionsLibrary) with a dependency on L1 and L2. But now, when I reference Lx in Pb the transitive dependencies also got added! That's not what I want - if Pa does not use L2, it should not be an unused transitive dependency.
Is there a way to still have only one ExtensionsLibrary Lx without having Pa introduce transitive dependency L2 and Pc introduce transitive dependency L1?

Finger Lakes Museum Selects Design Teams
KEUKA PARK, NY – The Board of Trustees of the Finger Lakes Museum has selected its design and preconstruction planning teams according to board president, John Adamski. The award-winning Wilkes-Barre, PA, firm of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson was chosen as the project architect from a list of 35 contenders that submitted qualifications. The LeChase/Gilbane Partnership, from Rochester, NY, was picked as the museum's preconstruction consultant out of 8 firms that presented proposals.Adamski said, "Selecting these two teams from literally dozens of qualified firms was no easy task. Members of our Facilities Committee spent many hours reading, evaluating, and comparing each proposal. Both of these teams are nationally recognized in the field of museum and habitat design and construction, and we're very excited to have them aboard."Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, known for its work with the National Park Service, has partnered with noted Boston museum exhibit and aquarium designers, Christopher Chadbourne & Associates and Ithaca-based landscape architects, Trowbridge & Wolf. LeChase Construction Services, LLC, teamed up with real estate developer Gilbane Building Company Inc., to provide preconstruction planning services. Adamski said that bringing designers and construction experts together at the outset will ensure collaboration early in the process and eliminate cost overruns further down the road. "Value engineering will begin on day one", he added.William Loose, AIA, vice president and principal of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson said, "We're just thrilled to have been selected for this extraordinary opportunity. This will be a museum that enlightens, inspires and educates both present and future generations, leaving a lasting impression in the hearts of all visitors. We're looking forward to working with everyone involved to create a place that will treasure the natural beauty and cultural history of the Finger Lakes region."Wayne LeChase, CEO of LeChase Construction Services LLC and principal in the LeChase/Gilbane Partnership, said, "We are delighted to be part of this exciting project, which is very meaningful to us. At the end of the day, it is indeed going to be a world-class project."The Finger Lakes Museum is an initiative to create a world-class educational institution that will showcase the cultural heritage and ecological evolution of the 9,000 square-mile Finger Lakes Region. The initial figure for constructing the project was estimated to be about $40 million but Adamski said that was a "comparable guesstimate" made without the benefit of architectural and construction management expertise. "Now we can start working with some real numbers", he said, adding that "phasing the project is also under consideration".The next step in project development is to undertake a master plan for Keuka Lake State Park, the museum's future site, together with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation. Museum executives will be meeting with State Parks officials in Albany soon to begin the process.
