These engines have been driving us nuts for a couple years;
we've been pledged to secrecy that long! For the past two months,
though, we've known all about them. Why haven't we told you? It was
a deal -- we couldn't say anything, because the print guys had to
be given a "fair chance" to get all their work done, and deliver to
you. So, even though we knew, in the interest of fairness (and not
getting our editorial tails in a legal wringer), we've had to hold
off. We know that at least one "sport" aviation magazine jumped the
embargo date by nearly two weeks - but, hey, they got the story
wrong, anyway.
The wait isn't so bad -- the engine wouldn't have been available
any sooner, even if we had told you.
Now the good news: there's a new powerplant soon to be
available. Bombardier Recreational Products (they're not calling
this new baby a 'Rotax 936' any more, even internally -- for
instance, the valve covers, which, during
development sometimes proclaimed, "Rotax," now read,
"Bombardier") will offer an all-new, aviation V-6, in two flavors:
a 220hp, normally-aspirated version, and a 300hp turbo. Bombardier
claims, "...the best power-to-weight ratio in aviation
The new engine is designed to fit where you're accustomed to
seeing a 550 Continental or 540 Lycoming, with weight that's maybe
just a couple pounds lighter than either (more on that later). It's
not a 500+ cube monster, though; it's a tidy 3.1 liter (189 inch)
machine. To make horsepower, it relies on advanced design, what
Bombardier Recreational Products calls "the first true FADEC"
controls, and a Rotax trademark, a gearbox. The engines make their
top power at a carlike 6000 rpm.
... and speaking of cars, these new mills can drink your typical
avgas; they will also be certified (we did mention that these are
to be certified engines, didn't we?) to run on auto gas, or mogas.
With a 4550 rpm cruise, you should see 16.5 gph go through the fuel
filter and get turned into a state-of-the-art-clean exhaust. While
that consumption figure is comparable to a 550 or 540, the savings
on mogas (straight from the pump, you can save 60 cents to a buck
or more a gallon; considerably more, if you also don't have to pay
the 30-50 cent per gallon highway tax) could add up to significant
It's a 120 degree V-6, with a 4-main, straight-pin crank (two
rods on each throw). It sports a dry sump design that uses about 2
gallons of oil. That oil is water-cooled, as is the entire engine.
The bores in the aluminum-alloy block are Nikasil-coated. There's a
single, chain-driven, overhead cam in each bank. One end of the
crankshaft sports a unique flywheel; the other has a torsion bar
extension, that goes to the 3:1 (108-36) gearbox. The fuel
injection, a main component of the FADEC engine management system,
offers clean firing, and doesn't have a venturi to help build up
The V-6 will hang from special rubber/close metal mounts. The
close metal design should stay relatively tight, in the event of an
engine room fire, keeping added stress on the engine mounts to
lower levels than conventional (1940s) designs.
The redundant EMS (Engine Management Systems) have a number of
fully-redundant systems within them. Even in the event of failures,
the redundant systems will still check one channel of manifold
pressure, ambient pressure, rpm, and throttle setting. The EMS
units also feature continuous data recording, so the entire history
of the engine's life can be seen at the end of any flight. (Those
who rent their airplanes to others, or members of
fractional-ownership groups especially, should love that feature.)
The EMS features an adaptive knock control -- it's a great way to
keep the engine optimized, even as gasoline blends change -- or
when you're using car gas, which is blended for the region where
it's sold.
There's plenty of spark assured: you'll notice six double
ignition coils.
Adding to the electrical redundancy are two 75-watt alternators.
Everything with a wire on it, or a signal running through it, is
duplicated. When we looked for the two ECUs, though, we couldn't
find but one box. That's right -- the box is a mechanical
item; rest assured, there's two ECUs in there, each with its
separate wiring.
The ECU (the timing unit) has both camshaft and crankshaft speed
and position sensors, for redundancy. It's a total dual-lane design
-- two of everything; plus it carries a package of spare "maps," in
case the sensors fail. For folks who still don't trust such
things, and to add to the redundancy, there's an auto/manual,
pilot-controlled select. If things really go phooie, there's still
a fall-back, "limp-home" mode available; it is automatically
This ANN
News-Spy photo shows a test installation in a
PA-28. Note that the valve covers are unidentified, and that there
is a huge bunch of "extra" wiring in there -- for all the
telemetry necessary during the test phase.
Bombardier Recreational Products likes to remind us that this is
a "real FADEC." (Quite aside from the fact that it's on a V-6) it's
not portable to other engines. Too bad -- a single lever controls
the throttle, the mixture, the prop -- and triggers continuous
onboard diagnostics. [Single-lever engine/prop management has come
a long way since the FW190.] The advantages go beyond the obvious,
and also include less mental fatigue for the pilot, and quicker,
more-intuitive response to unforeseen events. Additionally, an
unfamiliar or flustered pilot won't be able to flood out the
engine, or lean it too much: thus security, longevity, and peace of
Bombardier's strategy is to sell, not replacement units or
specialty units, but to develop more industry, overall. To that
end, Bombardier Recreational Products will be offering the V-6
engines in complete, firewall-forward packages only, to
certified-aircraft manufacturers. The integrated muffler design,
the placement of the coolant radiators, the engine mounting --
everything will be designed for a specific application. The
airframe manufacturer won't have to go to multiple suppliers to
complete the power package. Bombardier will handle the power --
from the prop spinner to the firewall bolts. M-T and Hartzell have
been doing the propeller work, for years. [The first flight of this
puppy was back on March 11 of last year -ed.]
Speaking of the fuel system, the electric pumps (of course,
there are two) will come from Bombardier. Each system includes a
pump (located in the gas tank, as is automotive practice), two
valves, an internal regulator (up to 3.3 bar pressure) and a
feedback/return circuit, to keep fuel pressures steady, and to
ensure fuel availability under all conditions.
...and speaking of flight conditions, the engine is not
designed for use in aerobatic machines. Bombardier Recreational
Products didn't want, in a mass-market engine, to saddle every
customer with the necessary complication, weight, and expense of
the systems a negative-G engine would require. Are there plans to
do so in the future? The company says, "no." (This is a mass-market
engine; aerobatic applications represent too small a possible
The cooling system will hold 3 gallons of 50-50 water-antifreeze
coolant, circulated by an automotive-style "plastic" impeller, that
will move 81 gallons through the system each hour -- a complete
circuit of all coolant in just over two minutes should keep the
engine and oil cool. Additionally, high circulation should allow
the usual, air-cooled-engine high-drag airflow to be closely
cowled. There's a built-in coolant level sensor, too. In addition
to the obvious advantages we've already listed, the protection
water-cooling provides against shock cooling needs to be noted.
As for the need to pre-heat the engine, Bombardier says that you
won't need to, until the temperature hits -25C (about 13 below
zero, American). One other thing: water cooling means you can have
cabin heat, free of the usual exhaust gas worries -- and as
reliable and smooth as in a luxury car. No more, "frozen toes,
burned knees" syndrome.
Bombardier Recreational Products, though, is addressing the
increasingly-important issue of "environmentals" head-on. First,
it's socially responsible; second, environmental concerns are going
to be increasingly mandated, whether we're talking about emissions
or noise; and third, when they are mandated, Bombardier will be
ready to replace the old-design existing engines with what will be,
by then, a high-volume, proven powerplant.
OK -- so you want one. What's next? First things first:
Bombardier Recreational Products wants to be sure the world is
ready. Rollout will be through Part 23 OEM airframe manufacturers,
which will also service the powerplants, again following the
automotive model. Before the engines are publicly available, the
launch OEM will have a corps of trained mechanics; and will have
field-replacement spares, and whatever special tools will be
required. Repeat: the airframe manufacturer will be the
engine-service interface. For the inevitable things that can't be
anticipated, Bombardier will also maintain an AOG (Aircraft On
Ground) response team -- anything the dealership can't handle, the
AOG team will.
Bombardier Recreational Products will pursue a combined FAA and
JAA program, to let customers worldwide experience the new
After the Part 23 manufacturers are taken care of, certain
Experimental kit manufacturers will be in line, for the
firewall-forward treatment; after that, Bombardier plans to offer
select STCs to the replacement/upgrade market. Thus, by 2008,
pretty much everyone who wants one, will be able to buy one.
Quantity deliveries to the launch OEM (whose identity is still a
loosely-guarded industry secret) will start in a little over two
years. Price? Bombardier won't say, exactly; maybe they don't even
know. You don't need a marketing MBA, though, to figure the new
engines will be priced very closely to the existing 300 and 310hp
competition, when all things -- the firewall forward package,
special prop, etc. -- are considered. Whether Bombardier will be
able to reduce costs enough to low-ball the market (and take it
over) is something only their industrial and process engineers can
tell. Whether they'd want to, is an issue probably left to their
corporate lawyers and accountants.
What Bombardier Recreational Products has shown us is a
totally-new aircraft engine, targeted at what many think will be
the backbone of GA: the 200-300hp gas-powered segment. With global
certification, mogas-capable engine management, automotive-style
manufacturing techniques, processes, materials, and electronics,
the engine promises to be long-lived and low-maintenance. With a
fuel burn as good as (or even slightly better than) the
competition's, significant savings can be realized by running mogas
(and especially if you can buy it without paying highway tax), with
very little performance penalty.
The big leap forward, in terms of universal acceptance, though,
will come from other sectors: the people who live near GA airports
and their politicians. The Bombardier V-6 is designed to satisfy
not just the "scientific" environmentalists (those who look at
emissions), but also the legions of folk who buy homes near small
airports, and then rally to get the airports shut down, because of
the noise.
Not only will Bombardier
Recreational Products supervise the exhaust and muffler design
(less-problematic on the turbo, of course), to ensure that the
exhaust note is neither excessively loud nor offensive; the prop,
where a giant portion of the noise originates, will be almost a
Remember that gearbox, with the super-low 3:1 ratio? At peak
engine rpm, the prop will still turn just 2000 rpm. The good news
is, the prop tips won't be getting loud, ever. At cruise (just over
1500 prop rpm), you'll probably be able to read the Hartzell or M-T
logo, as the blades go past -- but you won't hear much. Bombardier
didn't say so, but maybe they're hoping that people will point to
their new engine, and get their politicians to mandate new noise
laws, since "it can be done." It would make for one great STC
business, no?
This pair of engines has so many good things going for it --
packaging, technology, weight, power, efficiency, longevity,
low-maintenance design, aerodynamic improvements, fail-safe
operating modes, water cooling, truly modern engine controls, and a
reasonable roll-out plan -- that we almost hesitate to even mention
any concerns; but hey, if we didn't mention them, we'd be doing you
a disservice.
First of all, it's a 6. All two-bank 6-cylinder four-stroke
engines (not just V-6s, but the traditional flat-6 engines, as
well) have one heck of a torsional vibration built into the crank.
As engine-design guru Allan Lockheed (Allan is the developer of the
industry standard "Engine Expert" performance design software; and
his dad brought us the Vega, among others) told us, "There are two
methods commonly-employed to counteract that vibration: some use a
balance shaft; others make a V-8." Bombardier has tackled that
problem with a balance shaft.
Additionally, Bombardier Recreational Products has made a
preemptive strike on the possible problem of 5-cylinder operation.
As noted above, the front end of the crankshaft has an extension on
it. That tube, about an inch in diameter and maybe eight inches
long, is a torsion bar -- a spring. Any roughness, any rotational
shock the engine creates, gets transmitted through that torsion
bar, which is tuned to absorb a lot of it -- the net result may
very well be an engine that is smoother than most existing
6-cylinder engines, and nearly as smooth as a V-8. The gearbox, and
the resultant multi-blade prop, will help in this area, as
Our other concern centers around that gearbox. It's not that
Bombardier doesn't know how to build a bulletproof gearbox -- there
are tens of thousands of examples in the air, of just how good a
(Rotax) gearbox can be -- but we're concerned to varying degrees
about two parameters of the gearbox design.
First, the idea that a prop cruising at 1500~1700 rpm can be
very efficient, is not in dispute -- if the prop is thirteen feet
in diameter. A prop of that size, though, would be a nuisance on a
Bonanza-class design. The good news is, Bombardier says that
Hartzell told them, through multi-blade (and presumably wide-chord)
design, an efficient propeller of 80~96 inch diameter could be
close to ideal. It's still on the big side, but, considering the
noise factor, it may well be worth it. Remember, too: the gearbox
output hub is located above the crankshaft centerline, a
flexibility in design not attainable with direct-drive cranks --
and that allows longer blades, while maintaining the requisite
ground clearance. It's not a whole lot higher than the flat-6
configuration (which keeps the crank at the top anyway), but
anything helps.
The only truly inexplicable thing about this gearbox is the
ratio: 108:36, or exactly 3:1. At top speed, that means
that the exact same two teeth -- one from each gear -- will touch
33 times each second. If there is any mismatch in machining, if
there is any impurity or foreign matter that gets mashed into a
tooth, if there is the slightest problem in heat-treatment or
another aspect of the metallurgy -- that problem will be revisited
as often as 33 times each second. (You can hear 33Hz -
it's that frequent.) Taking such a potential problem and "spreading
it around," say by using a ratio of 107:37 (which would fit, at
least, on the same bore centers), would mean that any pair of teeth
would not meet, every time the prop shaft came around. (In this
particular example, that particular mesh of prime
numbers would happen once every 3959 engine revolutions --
roughly once every 40 seconds, at top speed; or just once in 50+
seconds, at cruise.)
Bombardier's engineers are aware of this, of course. Through
channels, we got the answer that Bombardier is confident-enough in
its suppliers and its own processes and quality assurance, that
they are not concerned about this particular point. As for the
unforeseen, they assured us that the gears are much larger than the
engineering numbers would dictate -- in other words, the gearbox is
overbuilt by a considerable margin.
While all that extra effort and bulk may well address the
problem, we wonder why that particular ratio (rather than, say, the
2.891:1 ratio in the above example) had to be chosen. An alternate
ratio could -- from a performance standpoint -- easily have been
used, with the added benefit of reduced bulk, and a little more
tolerance in gear manufacture, plus the reductions in weight and
cost that must surely result. [Note: the Bombardier folks told us
that ratio was chosen to make the pilot's job easier. A 3:1
calculation is a lot easier to do than a 2.891:1 calculation. We
just don't know why a pilot needs to do the calculation in the
first place -ed.]

Charles Tillman's TD return sets Bears record
By Mark Potash email@example.com January 1, 2012 11:00PM
Devin Hester is tackled by Eric Frampton on a kickoff return in the first half. The Bears' return teams had another tough day. | Andy King~AP
Updated: February 3, 2012 8:13AM
MINNEAPOLIS — The Bears are done. But cornerback Charles Tillman is going to Hawaii with momentum.
Tillman, who made the Pro Bowl for the first time in his ninth season, broke a franchise record with his fifth career interception return for a touchdown in the Bears' 17-13 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Tillman's 22-yard touchdown return, which came off a pass that was tipped by Vikings running back Toby Gerhart, was his second of the season. It gave the Bears a 14-10 lead in the second quarter. Tillman had tied safety Mike Brown and cornerback Bennie McRae with a 44-yard interception-return touchdown in a 37-13 victory over the Detroit Lions on Nov. 13.
''I guess it's good,'' said Tillman, who also had a tackle for loss that would have been a sack but Joe Webb was ruled to be a runner on the play. ''I didn't realize I broke it until [Bears media-relations assistant Mike Corbo] told me.
''I think that just goes to show how much I do not pay attention to my stats. I think it's you all who always bring it up. So, yeah, one day when I'm old and retired, I'll look back at my stats and say, damn, it's pretty good. But in the moment right now, I'm just trying to play and get better and just keep going.''
Hester stifled again
Devin Hester continued to struggle on kick returns. He was tackled at the goal line on a kickoff return in the first half — it nearly was a safety — but the play was nullified by an offside penalty on the Vikings. Hester averaged 11 yards on two kickoff returns and two yards on two punt returns.
With the return game out of sync, the Bears finished the season with 44 consecutive drives that started in their territory in the final four games.
''It's tough,'' Hester said. ''We've been trying to find a new unit, playing guys here and there. You just have to be able to pick up [the slack].''
A vote for Martz
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz's future heads the offseason agenda. The Bears' offense made progress when Jay Cutler was healthy, but it stagnated after he was injured. Martz is a free agent after completing a two-year contract.
''We were 7-3 at one point because he was our offensive coordinator,'' center and offensive captain Roberto Garza said. ''He's a great coach and knows exactly how to motivate us. You'd like to have continuity. So we'd like to have him back. But it's out of our hands.''
Don't count him out
Wide receiver Roy Williams (four receptions, 60 yards) made his bid to return next season with a 22-yard touchdown catch that capped an eight-play, 90-yard drive in the second quarter to cut the Vikings' lead to 10-7. Williams finished the season with 37 receptions for 507 yards and two touchdowns. He said he hopes to return next season.
''I like our wide receiver corps,'' Williams said. ''I think we [complement] each other. When we get an offseason in together, which we didn't have last year with the lockout — I just came in off the street — and get in with Jay, I think we'll be perfect.''
Bits and pieces
Julius Peppers blocked a 28-yard field-goal attempt in the first quarter. It was the 11th blocked kick of his career and the Bears' 23rd since Dave Toub became their special-teams coordinator in 2004.
◆ After being minus-9 in turnover differential in the first six games without Cutler, the Bears were even Sunday with three takeaways and three giveaways.
◆ Punter Adam Podlesh had a 45-yard average Sunday to set a franchise record with a 40.5-yard average for the season. The previous best was 38.7 set by Brad Maynard in 2004.

Sony's just released a new story trailer for Resistance: Burning Skies, Nihilistic Software's Vita-bound addition to the popular alt-history FPS series. The trailer's narrated from the POV of the game's protagonist, Staten Island firefighter Tom Riley, single-handedly fighting off the Chimera Invasion with a variety of increasingly non-standard-issue weaponry – as you'll see when things pass the halfway mark.
Due on May 29, Resistance: Burning Skies makes up for the PSP installment's lack of dual-analog with Vita-centric controls. These include not just a right thumbstick, but touchscreen controls for actions such as auxiliary weapons.

TIFF 2012: IMOGENE Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted 2 years, 101 days ago
Over the years, I've written at length at how far too many indie comedies mistake quirk for character. Characters feel like people. They have emotions, goals, fears, etc. A character can have quirks, but they can't be quirks. Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's Imogene is yet another example of an indie comedy that derives its comedy not from clever jokes, thoughtful set-ups and payoffs, or believable characters. It attempts to get laughs from its miserable eponymous protagonist interacting with her goofy family of one-dimensional eccentrics. As much as Imogene strives to coast on the wackiness of the characters, the best jokes in this shapeless comedy come from the little off-handed moments that slip through the tortured, hollow idiosyncrasies.

Good morning ladies, how is everyone today?

Today went by very quickly! Just finishing up getting dinner ready, we are having a tortilla crusted tilapia with squash, potato for the kids and DH, salad for me. Looks like DD is not really better, the only reason she is going to school tomorrow is because they have the day off on Friday. She did not even go to costumes crew today, she just wanted to come home. DS had play practice and now doing homework. DD just let me know she needs her yoga pants so I need to get a load in the washer. Trying to get ahead on the laundry so DS and DH can pack for their respective trips next week.>

I woke up with a headache this morning. Natalie ended up with bad stomach cramps so she stayed in bed until they got better. I took her into school and ran an errand for to get more face powder. I was hoping to get to the post office but after a nap my head still hurts. I started making the heart shaped cake, it's in the oven now. I got the cake pan as a gift when we were married, still have it and hardly ever use it cause I can't use a whole cake mix in it and usually have some left over. I made a small round. Save it for a desert after dinner sometime. I am picking Matthew up after school and we are going to find him a book to read. Girls are riding the bus home today. Just a quiet night at home.
Dinner will be themhamburgersmi didn't make last night but instead made broccoli cheese soup.

Good morning ladies. I think everyone is starting to feel much better at the house. Emma was still pretty tired and ornery last night after school, I am hoping another day or two of good night's sleep will put her back to 100%. DH sat down to watch the basketball game around 8:30 and fell asleep promptly for the evening also, so hopefully he is feelin better this morning. I have some projects to work on today and then some errands to run at lunch. I also need to walk over to the post office later to mail a few things. Tonight we have to finish up valentine cards for the parties tomorrow and baths for the girls. Jordyn has work and practice and is still finishing up some stuff for the cheerleading banquet this weekend. I need to make sure everything is final and ready for DH to take to the accountant tomorrow to get going on taxes so we can get the FAFSA done shortly. i am getting anxious about it. Not sure about dinner yet, either chicken pockets or chicken and dumplings.
Have a great one!

Summer in the Berkshires – Tanglewood 2015
Eighteen Years as the Innkeeper of The Rookwood Inn
Eighteen years ago today we became the owners/innkeepers/stewards of The Rookwood Inn. This day was beshert.
For those of you without knowledge of Yiddish, beshert means "destined or meant to be." This couldn't have truer for October 8, 1996 would have been my mother-in-law's 73rd birthday. It was through her passing and legacy that we were able to purchase the inn.
The house we owned in Lansdowne, PA, a small town outside of Philadelphia, was painted, by us, in Sherwin Williams' hisoric paint colors. We used Rookwood Red and Rookwood Green, among others. Our address in Lansdowne was 117; the inn's street number is 11 and the post office box is 1717. And the owners, our predecessors, bought from sent their son to the same camp as our daughters had attended, albeit many years apart.
The people we bought from also shared experiences with us. The wife was from PA and was in healthcare prior to innkeeping. I too was in healthcare. Their daughter and our younger daughter were born less than a week apart. How could we not see this purchase and life change were meant to be?
Both Stephen and I had some health issues the year before we purchased The Rookwood Inn and decided that you need to live the life you have and not necessarily the life you want. We thought that we would wait until our children were in college before buying an inn. But decided to take the plunge then because, "who knows what the future might bring?" This was also fortuitous because a mere two and a half years later Stephen lost his battle with malignant melanoma.
In these eighteen years we (I) have made many changes and updates to the inn from a complete Victorian "Painted Lady" color scheme to installing a whole-house sprinkler system to bumping out the south side of the third floor and adding gas fireplaces to three of the rooms to renovating some of the guest rooms and baths to installing WiFi and phones. Many changes are visible while others are part of the heating and cooling systems and would only be noticeable if not working.
Eighteen is a significant number in my Jewish tradition. Eighteen in Hebrew is "chai" which means life and what a life it has been here at The Rookwood Inn! I have been fortunate to have been able to be involved in my daughters' lives and have watched them grow from little girls to talented, intelligent, productive and loving women.
Nina is a teacher and lives with her husband, Greg, in Jacksonville, Florida where he is stationed in the Navy. Maya is happily employed with a large hotel chain, a trained aesthetician, and in a loving relationship with a very nice man. I was able to spend time with Steve during his illness and am now able to have the time and flexibility to care for my mother and step-father as they age.
Throughout these eighteen years, I am lucky to count many of our guests as friends and have been lucky to attend weddings (some of which I've been honored to perform in my capacity as Justice of the Peace), meet their new babies and grandchildren, and share a meal or a holiday. Others share their lives with us when they visit. Some share their joys. Some share their sorrows. But all share their lives. For that I am deeply grateful.
I thank each and every one of you for sharing your lives and your time over these eighteen years with me, with my family, and with our Rookwood family (employees and other guests). I look forward to many more visits with you all!

What's Happening at Tanglewood in the Summer of 2014
The exciting details of Tanglewood's 77th season (June 28 – August 30) have been released giving all of us another reason to be thankful this weekend!
This summer, Tanglewood and the Berkshires welcome Andris Nelsons for his first festival appearances as BSO Music Director Designate.
2014's program highlights American music. Along with the concert performance of Bernstein's Candide and the movie presentation with live orchestra of The Wizard of Oz, mentioned above, Tanglewood will present American baritone Thomas Hampson in a selection of Old American Songs by Aaron Copland, with Christoph von Dohnányi conducting (7/18), and the world premiere of William Bolcom's Circus Overture to open a BSO concert celebrating Leonard Slatkin's 70th birthday (8/8).
The American music theme will extend to the season-long celebration of the 20th anniversary of Ozawa Hall with an appearance by Chanticleer in a program entitled She Said/He Said, with music ranging from Renaissance madrigals to new arrangements from Chanticleer's popular and jazz repertoire (7/9); a performance of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.
The 2014 Festival of Contemporary Music, July 17-21, under the direction of John Harbison and Michael Gandolfi, will present programs featuring works by American composers, with a special emphasis on music from a younger generation of Americans, many of whom have been Fellows at the Tanglewood Music Center.
The Boston Pops Orchestra with Keith Lockhart and John Williams will be joined by two American icons: Jason Alexander, and Josh Groban. Besides leading the Boston Pops in the score to The Wizard of Oz to accompany the universally beloved movie classic (8/22), Keith Lockhart will conduct Boston Pops concerts featuring Broadway veteran and Tony Award-winner Jason Alexander in a program of comedy, song, and dance (7/13), and superstar singer Josh Groban in a program that brings the 2014 Tanglewood season to a close on August 30. John Williams will lead Tanglewood's Film Night, one of the most eagerly-anticipated evenings of the Tanglewood season, with special guests to be announced at a later date (8/2). The annual day-long musical celebration, Tanglewood on Parade, culminating in an evening concert with the Boston Symphony, Boston Pops, and Tanglewood Music Center orchestras, led by Keith Lockhart, John Williams, and Stéphane Denève will take place on August 5.
Tanglewood welcomes back James Taylor and his extraordinary band for two performances in the Koussevitzky Music Shed, July 3 and 4. A spectacular fireworks display over the Stockbridge Bowl will follow the concert. Mr. Taylor, who regularly performs to sold-out audiences at Tanglewood, has returned to the festival 21 times since his first performances there in 1974.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning on January 26, 2014 ; and for James Taylor's July 3 and 4 concerts on Thursday, January 16. All proceeds for the July 4 concert to benefit Tanglewood. Rooms at The Rookwood will start filling up sooner. Make your reservation early to avoid disappointment!
B&Bs for Vets at The Rookwood Inn
For the fourth year in a row, The Rookwood Inn is offering its rooms as part of the B&Bs for Vets and as our way of thanking our military for their service. Every one of our 20 rooms is available at no cost for the night of November 10 to active, reserve, discharged and retired military personnel, with proof of service. The Rookwood Inn is also offering additional consecutive nights (up to three) for 50% off the regular winter rates.
Arrive at The Rookwood and enjoy our afternoon refreshments. Last year, our regular offerings were augmented by Bartlett's Orchards (a fantastic apple orchard and farm stand in Richmond, MA – just over the mountain from the inn), and a very generous baker and friend of The Rookwood Inn, Terrill. Then you're off on your own for a delicious dinner in one of the great restaurants in and around Lenox.
Awaken in your comfy room on Veteran's Day to the aromas of one of our delicious breakfasts. You can choose a table for just the two of you, or decide to share with a fellow service man or woman. When it's time to go, you'll leave with wonderful memories and some additional thank you for protecting us gifts and our desire that you'll be back to stay another time. B&Bs for Vets – our way of saying thanks for taking care of us!
What's happening in Lenox, MA this September?
As summer winds down into the crisp, colorful fall, you may be looking for that one last hurrah before the weather – and warmth – goes south.
Even after the hubbub of summertime, the towns surrounding The Rookwood Inn are as eventful, lively, and entertaining as ever.
Whether you're looking to relax, eat some delicious food, or put your athletic ability to the test, Lenox, Massachusetts has an event that will suit your fancy.
Here are a few of our favorite events coming this September:
The Tub Parade – September 15th, 2013
Held in downtown Lenox, the Tub Parade is an extravagant display of festive carriages and horses, decorated with local flowers. The small carriages, known as "tubs" trot around the downtown loop twice before heading out. The traditional parade dates back to the 1800s when New England's rich and famous showcased their finest carriages and horses in a friendly competition which celebrated the fall harvest and the end of the summer season. This year, the Tub Parade is just one event of an entire heritage weekend. Some of the original Berkshire estates will be open for tours.
Josh Billings RunAground – September 21st, 2013
The Josh Billings RunAground is the 2nd oldest triathlon in the United States.
Hundreds of participants bike over 27 miles of back country, rolling hills, and through five towns in the Berkshires; then canoe, kayak, or paddleboard five miles around Stockbridge Bowl; and end with a six mile run around the lake to Tanglewood. Afterwards, everybody comes together to celebrate at the Josh "Bash" with awards, food, and live bands.
Hurry! The last day to register is September 14th!
The 34th Annual Apple Squeeze – September 28th, 2013, 11am-4pm
The annual Apple Squeeze in Lenox is a two-day autumn and harvest festival celebrating all things apple-related. There will be apple cider, apple pies, apple cobbler, caramel apples – even apple pizza. The event also includes pony rides, children's dog shows, hayrides, crafts, sidewalk sales, and much more.
If you didn't get as much vacation time in as you'd hoped for this summer, or really missed out on that truly relaxing weekend away, book a room at The Rookwood. We look forward to seeing you this September!
Spring in the Berkshires
We turned our clocks back this past Saturday night and many of us, myself included, are in desperate need of that lost hour. The positive part of Daylight Savings Time is that as I sit at my computer writing this blog at 6 pm it is still light out! This brings up a whole lot of reasons why an escape from your early spring routines with a Rookwood Inn Escape is perfect at this time of year!
The tranquility of our location lends itself to a feeling of complete relaxation. You can meditate, if you want, or add a massage to enhance the relaxation. Pick up that book or magazine you've wanted to read for months and actually start, or finish, it. Visit Colorful Stitches in Lenox Village to find that special wool for a project or learn how to create your own work of art and come back to The Rookwood Inn to knit or crochet in front of a cozy fire. Visit Rhythms or Kripalu for a yoga class or workshop. Take a hike and explore flowers, trees, birds and animals awakening from their winter hibernation. Returning birds can be seen (we have a huge pileated woodpecker here at The Rookwood).
Perhaps you prefer culture. Shakespeare & Company is in production, the Berkshire International Film Festival is in swing, and there is always a concert or movie to be found. The Clark Art Museum is open and through May offers free admission to its wonderful exhibits.
We've turned our winter special into a Spring in the Berkshires special valid through April. Stay any two nights in a standard or deluxe room for $299 (plus tax and gratuity) or in a mini suite for $499 (plus tax and gratuity). Our delicious breakfasts and afternoon refreshments are included, as is our warm welcoming service.
Whatever the season, you'll find the reason to visit The Rookwood Inn, Lenox, and the Berkshires!
Bring in the New Year at The Rookwood Inn!
New Year's Eve carries with it the idea of something very special. Some people go all out to find a special place to have dinner,
perhaps go dancing. Others find a cozy meal at home or with friends to be their special way of celebrating. This year, start a new tradition at The Rookwood Inn.
Spend two, or three nights including New Year's Eve at The Rookwood, enjoy the beauty of the Berkshires both inside and out. Go skiing (downhill or cross-country), try snow-shoeing or snowmobiling. Stroll through the unique shops and villages like Lenox and Stockbridge. Enjoy exhibits at the local museums such as the Norman Rockwell or Clark Art Institute or MassMoCA. Take in some music. Savor delicious meals at one of the fine local restaurants. Or spend your time at the inn snuggling in front of a fire, reading, playing a board or card game, or talking with friends – old or new.
At midnight on New Year's Eve join us for a dessert and cheese gathering along with a special champagne toast. Sleep in on New Year's Day and then join us for our our famous brunch. Check-out is extended until 2 pm to allow you to have a lazy morning. If you spend three nights we'll give you 25% off our New Year's rates. Two nights, take 10% off.
Rookwood Inn Offers Gift Ideas for the Holidays
Whether or not we want to accept it, the holidays are quickly approaching. Even if we wanted to forget them, the stores and television commercials keep reminding us. Chanukah and Christmas will be here soon! Can't bear the thought of another tie or pin? Don't want to buy fuzzy socks or scarves? Look no further. The Rookwood Inn has some great gift ideas for you – one size fits all – including your budget!

If you can't get away this weekend, a gift certificate make the perfect gift for anyone in your life – a loved one, business associate, good friend, birthday or holiday. You pick the amount of the certificate and we do the rest. We will issue a certificate and mail it to you or the recipient with a note. They can then use it toward any Rookwood getaway, at any time of year and toward any room they wish. As our special holiday gift to you, we're offering a second gift certificate for you to use however you wish for 10% of the purchased certificate value.

NYT Reporters Recommend a Few Good Books About Journalism
In this weekend's Sunday Book Review, there is a fun, brief item from John Williams. Echoing the general theme of David Carr's latest column, he asked Carr as well as Ravi Somaiya, Jonathan Mahler and Peter Lattman to highlight their favorite books about journalism.
The most intriguing comment comes from Lattman. Like Mahler, he chose a work of fiction rather than non-fiction, but not for the reasons you might assume:
Lattman selected The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman, about a "dying English-language newspaper in Rome. This debut novel from 2010 does a better job of capturing a newsroom and its characters than any non-fiction book I've read."

Thanks for joining my first Twitter Town Hall
Thanks to everyone who joined my Twitter Town Hall on renewable energy. I enjoyed hearing the thoughts of Coloradans across the political spectrum on how we should pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that creates jobs, helps the environment and improves our energy security.
Coloradans get it when it comes to energy. After all, we are an all-of-the-above state, from the oil and gas of the Piceance Basin to the winds of the Eastern Plains and everywhere in between. We know a smart energy policy that focuses on renewable as well as conventional sources will keep jobs in the United States and create a more secure and sustainable energy policy. Here in Colorado, this isn't just rhetoric. Renewable energy has created thousands of good-paying jobs for hardworking Coloradans all across the state. And with some of the best solar and wind resources in the country, along with the top-notch minds at the National Renewable Energy Lab and our leading universities, Colorado will continue to be a national leader in renewable energy.
But Congress must do its job too. The continued uncertainty over the wind energy Production Tax Credit has cost Colorado and the United States jobs as well as jeopardized our position as a global leader in the wind energy industry. We have to extend the PTC as soon as possible. Congress must also get to work on comprehensive energy legislation that will help the private sector create jobs, improve our national security, protect the environment and cement our country as a global leader in the clean energy economy.
It's time for Congress to step up and lead the way toward a brighter, cleaner energy future. I look forward to playing an active role in shaping our energy future and continuing this conversation in the coming months on Twitter and across Colorado. If you missed my Twitter Town Hall, read the highlights below.

Region: South America
Capital: Paramaribo
Population: 529,400 (UNDP 2011)
Surface area: 163,270 sq km
Currency: Surinam dollar (SRD)
GDP per capita: Purchasing power parity US $9,500 (2011- CIA est.)
First explored by the Spaniards in the 16th century and then settled by the English in the mid-17th century, Suriname became a Dutch colony in 1667. With the abolition of slavery in 1863, workers were brought in from India and Java. Independence from the Netherlands was granted in 1975. Five years later the civilian government was replaced by a military regime that soon declared a socialist republic. It continued to exert control through a succession of nominally civilian administrations until 1987, when international pressure finally forced a democratic election. In 1990, the military overthrew the civilian leadership, but a democratically elected government – a four-party New Front coalition – returned to power in 1991 and has ruled since, expanding to eight parties in 2005.
Economy – Overview
The economy is dominated by the mining industry, with exports of alumina, gold, and oil accounting for about 85% of exports and 25% of government revenues, making the economy highly vulnerable to mineral price volatility. Economic growth, which reached about 7% in 2008, owing to sizeable foreign investment in mining and oil, slowed to 2.2% in 2009 as investment waned and the country earned less from its commodity exports when global prices for most commodities fell. Trade picked up, boosting Suriname's economic growth in 2010 to 4.4%, but the government's budget remained strained, with increased social spending during the election. Inflation rose from 1.3% in 2009 to 6.9% in 2010. In January 2011, the government devalued the currency by 20% and raised taxes to reduce the budget deficit. Suriname's economic prospects for the medium term will depend on continued commitment to responsible monetary and fiscal policies and to the introduction of structural reforms to liberalize markets and promote competition.

Over the Top
If this testimonial sounds over the top...it's because Scott is over the top in his performance. Based on my research, I had high expectations he would do a good job. But he has been beyond anything I hoped for. First, he is wonderfully easy to work with. Remarkably easy-going and available. Beyond that, his wizardry catapulted my business from almost nothing to very full, from 1 new client every few months, to a new client EVERY WEEK. I earned back my investment in Scott's fees in a matter of weeks.

The report, completed in partnership with Senior Costs Judge Peter Hurst, was commissioned by the Civil Justice Council. It is expected to help dispel fears prompted by controversial perceptions of the contingency fees system currently in place in the United States.
The report does, however, warn that overall levels of access to justice would be likely to fall as lawyers would become more limited in the cases that they could profitably take on. Smaller claims would be particularly affected.
In examining the system in place in the United States, Professor Moorhead and Judge Hurst found little evidence to support claims that contingency fees provide lawyers with an improper motive to settle claims early or that they promote a litigation culture.
Professor Moorhead said: "Although further study of contingency fees is needed, our report points to a considerable confidence that a contingency system in England and Wales would be viable.
"At a time when litigation in both countries is under intense scrutiny, the introduction of contingency fees could wipe out the majority of litigation based on challenges over legal fees. It should also reduce overall costs in the system, making them more proportionate to the sums in dispute".

In Florida, very few buildings have basements. Both
residential and commercial structures are built on
a concrete floor. Before the concrete is poured, electricians
may lay "conduit" (plastic or metal
pipe) in the ground. Electricians must be skilled
in blueprint reading to accurately measure where the
conduits are placed under the building.
a house, you may have to run one piece of conduit
to provide access for the power to an island in the
kitchen. In a commercial building, multiple runs of
conduit may be laid to later provide power for receptacles,
sub-panels and equipment.
electricians may dig the ditch with a back-hoe,
a trencher or the old-fashioned way - with a shovel.
The next step is the "rough-in".

OKALOOSA COUNTY-- Okaloosa County Sheriff's Investigators say they've solved the murder of a Crestview woman that took place 16 years ago.
Jewel Summerlin Melvin, 71, was beaten and strangled to death in her West James Lee Boulevard home on May 15, 1998.
Her killers stole items from the home, as well as her car.
Investigators found the car stuck on a stump in some woods near Holt about seven miles from Melvin's house.
Investigators initially developed a few persons of interest.
But they say they didn't have the evidence they needed to charge anyone until now.
Last Friday an Okaloosa County grand jury indicted 50-year-olds Michael Lynn McCombs and Steven Earl Kimmons on first
degree murder and burglary with assault resulting in a death.
Kimmons is held without bond in the Santa Rosa County Jail on unrelated charges.
McCombs is also held without bond in the Santa Rosa County Jail, but is being transferred to Okaloosa County.

(1) Africa – "Jumping the broom" symbolizes the jump from singlehood to married life. (How many guys actually pick up that broom during the marriage and help clean is anyone's guess.)
(2) Brazil - Think you have it tough proposing at a fancy restaurant? Brazilian folklore says that the man would have to prove himself a suitable husband by taming an unbridled donkey. (That could explain the past romance between animal trainer Dave Salmoni and talk show host Chelsea Handler.)
(3) Mexico – An engaged couple may have wedding 'godparents' who help cover the cost of the wedding. (Just be sure your godparents are NOT from the Corleone family, or they'll expect some serious interest on the loan…)
(4): Armenia – a young woman is expected to stay in her room until her parents accept the marriage proposal when the groom's family pays a visit to their home. (Advice to the ladies in Armenia: be sure your room has an escape window in the event an undesirable suitor comes a knockin'.)
(5) Austria – What better signs of a long and happy marriage than if you run into a pack of wolves or have a flock of pigeons flying overhead on your way to pop the question?
(6) China – Is he a Capricorn and you're a Scorpio? Better check with an astrologer before you even think about approaching mom and dad and about your new boyfriend who you're sure is "the one."
(7) Czech Republic - Think just-married couples in the U.S. have pressure with the endless "when are you having a baby?" In the Czech Republic a baby is placed on the bed of the couple the night before the wedding as a prayer for fertility.
(8) Phillipines - In case you're afraid she might not accept your marriage proposal with a simple diamond engagement ring, knock her socks off with a spear thrown in her front door.
(9) USA – Nothing says "together forever" like having an Elvis impersonator officiate at your wedding in a 24 hour drive-through chapel.
(10) Korea – In the USA, size might matter when it comes to the diamond engagement ring, but in Korea you know you've found the man of your dreams when you've got two huge geese walking around your parents' house.
