I'd like to use my Rails server to make anonymous HTTP POST calls using Rails. What's the most straightforward way to do this? Can Tor be used from the command line?
I'm not sure I understand your question, do you mean:
a: making anonymous POST requests to your application itself?
b: your application making anonymous requests to another website?
c: anonymizing your application by hosting it on the tor network?
There are a few gems that run commands on the command line from your rails app. Cocaine from thoughtbot is the one I can remember off the top of my head. https://github.com/thoughtbot/cocaine
If you're wanting to run a site within the tor network, their called Invisible Services. Here's an overview of it: https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/4 e-services
There's a few things you should consider with all this though:
- Anonymity is very difficult on the internet. Pay special attention to the security of your app. You can encrypt the connections all you want, but if there's an Mass Assignment vuln in your app for example, all that encryption is worthless.
- If you a wanting to do option b, you MUST have the permission of the site you're making requests to. It's not right to fake users and will probably get your IP address blocked by the site. Even if you have legitimate users doing legitimate things on the site in question, you WILL look like a bot or spammer in the server logs, because you're basically functioning as a proxy server in that case. If you're doing some non-ethical stuff on the site, even more so.
- Implement a firewall on your web server. While it's not specifically related to your question, implementing a firewall and good logging on your server is key for keeping your site secure. Something like pfSense is a good standalone firewall, or iptables of course.
- If all you wanted to do was option b, a proxy server would be your best option instead of a rails application. I won't tell you how to set one up though.

Trinity receives Silver Award for stroke care
The American Heart Association has accorded Trinity Health its Stroke Silver Quality Achievement Award for demonstrating high compliance with national stroke care standards, according to a news release. The organization considers the Silver Award for programs that have consistently met the American Heart Association's Get With the Guidelines standards for one year.
Trinity Health launched a comprehensive program in 2011 for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients and last year it received accreditation by the Joint Commission as a Certified Primary Stroke Center.
Trinity's program emphasizes best care practices to improve stroke outcomes along with education and prevention strategies to help people manage risk factors and learn what they should do if stroke symptoms occur.
"Our biggest concern is that people will ignore the symptoms and fail to seek immediate medical care," said Jerilyn Alexander, registered nurse and Stroke Coordinator for Trinity. "Stroke requires immediate treatment within three hours the longer the wait, the greater the damage to the brain and the greater the potential for disability afterwards."

Fighting chance: teen self-defense class offered
Due to the increase in the population and changes in the Minot community, this growth can be overwhelming for parents with teenage girls when thinking of their security.
With thanks to the support of Power of the Purse, the Minot Family YMCA will be offering a self-defense class for teenage girls in grades 9 to 12. Power of the Purse is an affiliate of the Minot Area Community Foundation created in 2007 by a network of Minot women business leaders.
The grant received from Power of the Purse will fund 200 teenage girls to attend the self-defense class free of charge. Dan and Tina Merck, certified self-defense instructors from ATA Martial Arts, will be teaching the class. All participants will receive a keychain safety alarm with a light.
There are several benefits of taking a self-defense class including teaching you how to defend yourself in a variety of situations; increasing your self-confidence; toning muscles and improving balance; and providing social interaction with your peers.
Five different dates will be offered for convenience with a maximum of 40 participants per class. Dates for the class are Sunday, April 7, at 5:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 14, at 5:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 4, at 1 p.m.; Sunday, May 19, at 5:30 p.m.; and Saturday, June 1, at 1 p.m. Classes will be held at the Minot Family YMCA. Pre-registration is required at the Y. People interested in registering can call the Y at 852-0141.

Posted on 12/14/2012 9:41:10 AM PST by jimbo123
Multiple people are dead after a shooting this morning at a Connecticut elementary school, according to a report.
According to a witness report, the school's principal and another staffer were killed while the vice principal was shot in the leg afte a gunman opened fire in a hallway.
A witness said gunshots were heard in the hallway during a meeting and that "100 rounds" must have been fired, according to CNN. After the shots were fired, three people ran into the hallway but only the vice principal crawled back.
Cops responded to reports of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary just after 9:40 a.m., and said the gunman was in the school's main office, according to reports.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
So NOW, NBC 4 is saying the man that was being held, but released is the shooter's younger brother (20 years old).
What the heck?
Why can't the MSM report accurately?
The "Real Ryan Lanza" is posting on Facebook it's not him.
That is why I have refrained from posting anything about this. Everything we have been told so far is wromg except for maybe the number of dead and yet another innocent American's reputation has been smeared.
Just go back to your high and rightous plateau and soak you head. Give it a rest, you made your point, don't belabor it.
The MSM is still all over the map with reporting on the shooter. Good grief. What is already an enormous evil and tragedy for the innocent victims and their families is getting stranger with the public naming of the shooter and the FB published insistence it's not the same guy that the MSM was posting. Amazing coincidence of names, ages, places.
I just read in another article that the shooter's girlfriend has not been located.
Maybe someone with access to his FB page logged in and posted pretending to be him?
You would be Right about this Mesta. It's all over the map depending on which news source, news blog, twitter, facebook... What a coincidence for the name, age, hometown.
little bammy just wrapped it up. He is signaling MPM to begin the drumbeat.
"We have endured this too many times..."
"We will take meaningful action..."
All mouthpiece media are proclaiming "this is the moment" that Washing DC "acts on this."
CBS comparing firearms to "poison."
Here comes the "common sense gun control."
Now, Adam (20) may be the shooter and deceased or may be the brother of the shooter Ryan Lanza (24) AND the MOTHER of the shooter is either deceased in the classroom or at the home in Newtown.
media claiming Law Enforcement confused. Blaming the LE instead of those at the briefing whom the media "anonymously sourced" over and over.
two roomates taken in for questioning of "ryan lanza".
what they are "hearing" (MSM)
mailonline says shooter's girlfriend and another friend are missing in NJ and that 29 killed in all, including 22 children.
Fox just said shooter is Adam Lanza (brother) not Ryan.
Prayers for all these poor people.
"reporterette" reporting the shooter, from Hoboken, went to CT. killed someone at the house, went to the school with brother and shot in his mother's classroom.
"reporterette" now saying it's "Adam Lanza" the shooter and his brother Ryan is being questioned.
MSM and social media FAIL.
More reason not to have Public profiles.
I made my point, good. I hope it comes back to you the next time you are tempted to use the murder of children to make a cheap political point.
That would be a refreshing change.
Can you pull 174 and 179 which i posted a link?
You obviously do not get the point of giving it a rest so I will go further. Those who hold others out as not meeting their standards of ethics, knowledge, abilities, or sensitivities tend to be egocentric. They are never content as they have a nervosis to nit pick problems they see or points they do not agree with.
It would probably be a good idea if you stopped patting yourself on the back for twice publicly chiding me about a post I made. There is a private e mail one can employ were they interested in making a personal point. I see your ego to be recognized as a just or thoughtful person forced you to exceed proper e mail behavior. Apparently you cannot help yourself and for that I feel sorry for you.
Good day.
I can't believe if it's the brother now, and a "Ryan Lanza" was at the scene and being questioned, that the Police would allow him to be posting on his Facebook while in custody.
But stranger things have happened. They are sticking on the Last name and the two first names. Either a "Ryan Lanza or Adam Lanza" is the gunman and the other being questioned and was at the scene.
I think that is probably a technique they wished to employ because the conversations on face book are retrievable and not subject to self incrimination.
Hadn't thought of that.
It was obscene though given the absolute fact that, rather than offer prayers or sympathy or just shutting up, you chose to politicize the murder of six year old children.
After hearing the screech from this "Reichstag fire ", none of should be surprised at the push for nobama to try Executive Ordering 2nd Amendment axed.
I see what happened now...it was Adam, but police found Ryan's ID on Adam's body.
Ryan told police Adam was autistic
I just read another article on Yahoo news, that they aren't sure his mother ever worked at the school? Why would that 20 year-old man drive to the school and do this?
Makes you long for the 1950's.
A few observations based on (n)hand rumor/faulty news reporting...
Just on ZH:
Update 3: Adam had Aseprger Syndrome - a high functioning form of autism. In other words, watch as the debate rages over the traditional bogeyman of gun control, in a country with over three hundred million weapons, when we may well simply be talking about a mentally ill young adult.
May or may not be true but from his photo, he seems pretty shy and timid. IMO, he doesn't seem quite up to methodically taking the lives of 20 children and seven adults. It would seem to take a seriously cold-hearted, and proficient killer capable of calmly reloading under extreme stress.
Why the mask? What about reports of two shooters? What happened to the other person of interest? What about the vehicle leaving the area with the rear window blown out? Why was the mom killed? Why wasn't he rushed as he seems not very well built. How exactly did he get in? Where is the surveillance footage? Where was the hate? What was the motive? Aren't AS suffers clumsy?
A fiction novelist or conspiracy theorist has more than enough here to construct a professionally planned hit to further an agenda similar fast and furious as some have alleged it was setup as a reason to restrict the second Amendment.
Just sayin'
good questions. IMHO from experience, albeit small, with autism and the higher function, even the higher function kids wouldn't plan out and act out this kind of violence. the Borderline Personality Disorder along with the meds, that's a different story. perhaps his dosage was upped and upped. not good on a young male, predisposed to BPD.
From my experience in schools as a: parent, Teacher and volunteer, the school system (public) is a BIG PUSHER of Drugs for the kids. Attention Deficit Disorder, ADDHD and depression. 1/2 the kids in one of my kid's gifted classes was on the ADD dope.
When a boy would act like a boy, teachers wanted them to go on the drugs. The School systems have a hand in the drugs-to-kids problem.
Why go to the school anyway? Why wouldn't he have just did himself after mom? Would take a strong hatred/get even reason for an AS sufferer to go to all that trouble.
It doesn't add up given what we know or the rumors floating around.
Re #164: "the children are with Jesus. "
Not all will believe that, but I do.
How many of them would have reached the age of accountability (about 12 according to Jewish tradition) before having been ensnared in Satan's web as so many kids lamentably are?
How many innocents were murdered by abortion over this past year alone in CT? They never knew a parents love; not one Mothers kiss or one birthday. That is the silent massacre no one seems to grieve.

As media tablets gain more traction on the market and new players enter the scene, analysts have to revise their forecasts concerning shipments of mobile computers in different form-factors in the coming years. If earlier this year NPD DisplaySearch predicted that mobile PC shipments will reach 815 million units, of which around 47% will be tablets, by 2017, then today DisplaySearch predicts 809 million mobile PCs in 2017 with tablets accounting for 51.4%.
"Consumer preference for mobile computing devices is shifting from notebook to tablet PCs, particularly in mature markets," said Richard Shim, senior analyst at NPD DisplaySearch.
Tablet shipments will surpass notebook shipments already in 2016, according to the latest NPD DisplaySearch forecast report. Overall mobile PC shipments will grow from 347 million units in 2012 to over 809 million units by 2017. While notebook PC shipments are expected to increase from 208 million units in 2012 to 393 million units by 2017, tablet PC shipments are expected to grow from 121 million units to 416 million units in this period, for a compound annual growth rate of 28%.
Building upon convenience-oriented features including instant-on capability, long battery life and extreme portability, tablet PCs are expected to evolve in form factor and performance, making them a compelling alternative to notebook PCs, according to DisplaySearch. Tablet PCs are expected to incorporate multi-core processors, increasingly stable operating systems, growing app libraries and higher resolution displays.
In addition, notebook PCs are also evolving to meet the challenge from tablet PCs. Thinner form-factors, higher resolution displays and touch functionality features are expected to increase. The notebook PC market will remain the largest part of the mobile PC market during the forecast period, accounting for 60% of mobile PC shipments in 2012, declining to 49% by 2017.
A key driver for tablet PC growth is adoption in mature markets (including North America, Japan and Western Europe), which will account for 66% of shipments in 2012 and remain in the 60% range throughout the forecast period. Tablet PC shipments into mature markets will grow from 80 million units in 2012 to 254 million units by 2017.
"While the lines between tablet and notebook PCs are blurring, we expect mature markets to be the primary regions for tablet PC adoption. New entrants are tending to launch their initial products in mature markets. Services and infrastructure needed to create compelling new usage models are often better established in mature markets," said Mr. Shim.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Too crowded! Not for PB!In full: Did this the second time. Not very pleased with this year's race. First of all, engineering works for the public transportation weren't coordinated with the a big event like this - waited for 35mins for a train from Sunderland to Newcastle due to limited services from engineering works. **And by the way, why can't they provide free ride on the Metro on the day of competition to all runners? That way, participants have one less queue to get through! They do that with the tubes in London during the London Marathon. When we arrived at Newcastle, the luggage buses have left and the late luggage vans were located at the furthest point from the start line. More than a mile to walk! Upon completing the run at South Shields, all mobile networks were down. Can't contact running members who need to convene and catch a train back to London. Overall an unpleasant experience. Notice I didn't mention the wet weather but it's not their fault anyway. Date of review: September 26, 2012
In short: Good but better with a medalIn full: My first London Pride Run. Good staff support and crowd control. Friendly marshalls and volunteers. Not really a bagel person. Would prefer a banana/cake/biscuits post-race whichever that is cheaper to provide than bagel;). Was expecting a medal for the event based on last year's review but was disappointed when there's none given this year. Hope there is next year.Date of review: August 17, 2009
In short: medal not as impressive as the sceneries.Date of review: March 15, 2009

Rugs & Windows
Accent your child's room and tie different colors and styles together. Rugs and window treatments are essential decor items for any space, including a child's bedroom or playroom. Rugs frame the furniture in the room and warm up the space when the weather gets cold. They are also great accessories for adding brightness to an otherwise dark space. Choose a patterned rug that incorporates many of the existing colors in the room to help tie different styles together. Use a solid color or simple prints such as stripes to add an accent piece to the space. Window treatments are also handy for blending different patterns and colors. Panels, drapes, shades and valances add privacy and frame windows. Blackout panels can help babies and young children sleep during nap times, as they block daylight from the room. Use sheers to soften the light in the space and lend a delicate style to the room. Incorporate decorative hardware such as colorful finials and metallic curtain rings to add a bit of extra personality to the window area.
Pottery Barn Kids carries plenty of other textile items to play up a creative color scheme. Use decorative pillows to scatter prints and colors throughout the room and make the space more comfortable. Throws provide additional warmth when it gets cold and can also help tie bedding together. Canopies pair well with sheer curtains and help soften bedroom decor.

Tucson schools were forced to drop Mexican-American Studies classes after a state law banned courses that are "designed for a specific ethnic group," advocate "ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals" or fan "racial resentment." This month, a federal judge upheld the Arizona law.
The ban has revived interest in ethnic studies, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"Underground" libraries with Chicano literature are popping up across the Southwest and are set to open soon in unexpected places such as Milwaukee and Louisville.
. . . "It was only until it was banned that I really took this seriously and recognized the need," said (Raquel) Velasquez, a 19-year-old originally from Tucson. She is one of 14 students at Prescott College taking a pedagogy class to help train them to become ethnic studies teachers.
Curtis Acosta now teaches English rather than Mexican American Studies at a Tucson high school. On Sundays, he teaches a Chicano literature class at a youth center. Ten students enrolled. Donations pay their tuition and Prescott College has offered college credits.
Bianca Sierra, a high school senior, said she'd never studied Chicano literature.
She says she likes her Sunday class better than her classes at school because she can relate to its subject matter on a personal level. For example, books she reads in her Chicano literature class have characters with names similar to those of her mother and grandmother or mention foods similar to those prepared in her home.
. . . Instead of simply listening to the teacher lecture, the students gather in a circle and, along with Acosta, discuss and debate the subject matter.
"I like it because it makes me feel more invested in it, because they are asking you, 'What is your opinion?' I was never asked what my opinion was on an issue [in class]. You're just not asked that in regular school," she said.
No Chicano novels in the English curriculum? Were they all ghetto-ized in the ethnic studies class? And Tucson teachers never let students express opinions?

Rev. Dr. Kenneth E. McCall
ESCANABA – The Rev. Dr. Kenneth E. McCall, of 1514 10th Ave. S., Escanaba, passed away on Jan. 9, 2013, in his home with the compassionate company and support of his family and staff of St. Francis Hospice.
Born March 1, 1932, in Kansas City, Kan., Ken was the son of Austin E. and Virginia (Belt) McCall. He was raised in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1954, Ken served as the first youth delegate to the World Council of Churches in Evanston, Ill., and soon after graduated Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Upon, graduating, Ken worked at Howell Neighborhood House in Chicago Ill., which served as the backdrop for the burgeoning relationship between Ken and his future wife, Carol.
Ken married Carol Mousky on Jan. 6, 1957, in St. Paul, Minn.
Ken graduated from McCormick Theological Seminary, Chicago Ill., in 1958, followed by another year of graduate study in Church History at McCormick. In 1978, he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick and, during the 1980s, Ken served on McCormick's Board of Trustees.
Ken was a consummate churchman, serving at all levels of the Presbyterian Church (local, state, national, and international). From 1958 to 1967, he served as the pastor of Presbyterian Churches in McLean, Texas, Cicero, Ill., and Detroit, Mich. From 1969 to 1973, Ken was assigned to the Presbytery Synod Staff of Michigan and in 1973; he became the first Presbytery Executive of the Mackinac Presbytery (headquartered in Escanaba). He served in that capacity until 1985.
In 1986, Ken became the executive director of the Center for Theology and Natural Sciences in Berkeley, Calif., followed by service as an interim pastor in Bend, Ore. Ken finished his professional career assigned to a special project at McCormick Seminary in 1988-89. After retirement, Ken served as a parish associate and interim pastor at the First Presbyterian Church in Escanaba.
In his early years in Escanaba, Ken was a member of the Escanaba Planning Commission and the Rotary Club. More recently, he was a member of the Bay de Noc Stamp and Coin Club.
Spending summers and falls at Indian Lake provided a meaningful respite for Ken and his wife Carol over the past 30 years. More recent winters have been spent in the Phoenix area.
Ken loved classical music and was a lifelong stereophile. He also loved gourmet cooking (eating), golfing, traveling, and was a strong supporter of the Green Bay Packers. His most pronounced passion later in life was collecting and restoring old radios.
Survivors include his children, Jeffrey (Cindy) McCall of Gladstone, Linda (Riley) Taylor of Roanoke, Va., Scott (Mary) of Washington D.C., Laurie (Kevin Kenneally) Vicenzi of Green Bay; sister, Nancy (Don) Butler of Ft. Worth, Texas; brother, Rich (Lea) McCall of Antioch, Calif.; grandchildren, Brandon and Scott Vicenzi of Green Bay, Jessica Taylor of Ft. Worth; stepgrandchildren, Justin Wares of Denver, Colo., and Ryan (Candace) Wares of Gladstone, Rachel Bates and Trey Taylor of Ft. Worth, Texas; and five great-grandchildren.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents and many special adoring great aunts.
Services for Kenneth E. McCall will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at the First Presbyterian Church in Escanaba with visitation from 3 to 5 p.m.; services at 5 p.m.; luncheon to follow. The Rev. Scott White and Rev. Linda McCall Taylor will be officiating the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to the First Presbyterian Church.
The Anderson Funeral Homes of Escanaba and Gladstone are assisting the family with the arrangements and online condolences can be sent to the family at www.andersonfuneralhomes.net.

Log in
Detroit is described as our country's greatest urban failure from once being a capitalist dream town.
As several reviewers have written, Detroit City is the Place to Be, captures the beauty and nobility of the city as well as the hardship and chaos. It is part history and part biography of a city and its people; a commentary on postindustrial America with some limited optimism for the future. The author grew up in the city and weaves in some personal narrative as well.
This may sound familiar to those who grew up in Detroit or Michigan. For those of us who were not here during the glory days of Detroit, it helps understand how and why Detroit became "a once-great American metropolis gone to hell" as one reviewer wrote.
This book provides the framework for our state, even our nation, to grapple with the issues facing Detroit.

Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
Potts returns to defend Ironman title
LAKE PLACID – In the 14 years that Lake Placid has hosted an Ironman race, there has never been a repeat champion in the men's professional field. American Andy Potts hopes he will be the first when the 15th Ironman Lake Placid takes place on Sunday.
Potts was one of five professional triathletes on hand Friday for a press conference at the Ironman Village set up in the Olympic Speed Skating Oval, which is the site of the finish line for Sunday's race. The 36-year-old native of Hershey, Pa. was joined by Italy's Daniel Fontana, Americans Hillary Biscay and Dede Griesbauer, and Carrie Lester of Australia.
Potts, a former all-American swimmer at the University of Michigan and a 2004 Athens Olympian in triathlon, isn't the first men's champion who has returned to Lake Placid looking to defend a title. But he certainly is a favorite to become Lake Placid's first two-time men's winner after coming up less than 2 minutes shy of setting an overall course record a year ago.
"There are a lot of races out there where you can go to defend a title," Potts said. "Every year I like to try new courses and familiar courses, and I'm back. It's nice to go to a course and know what to expect."
Potts won last year's Ironman Lake Placid in 8 hours, 25 minutes and 7 seconds, which was ever-so-close to the course record established by Simon Lessing in 2004. He was barely pressured in that race, finishing more than 21 minutes ahead of the next-closest competitor.
"Records are part of the game," he said. "If one falls and my name happens to be on the top of it, I'll be happy. But if you start thinking about the finish line while you're swimming, you're going to be in for a world of hurt. Just because it's the same sport and the same course, it's not the same race."
Fontana, a 37-year-old who was born in Argentina and now lives in Italy, is making his first appearance in Lake Placid with the hopes of unseating Potts.
"This is my first Ironman in the US," said Fontana, who competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. "My goal is to win an Ironman and that's why I'm here."
Fontana got his first look at the bike course Thursday, riding the entire 56-mile loop that racers will pedal on twice.
"Yes, I did the whole course," Fontana said. "It was challenging but very beautiful."
When it comes to Ironman experience, Biscay is at the top of the list. The 35-year-old resident of Tucson, Az. will be looking to cross an Ironman finish line for the 62nd time on Sunday, and hopefully as the women's professional champion. She placed third in Lake Placid in 2008 and then won the Ironman Wisconsin two months later.
"Sixty-two on Sunday, that's the number one goal," said Biscay, who competed in her first Ironman race in Florida in 2001. "My first Ironman if finished in 12:29. The bike took me seven hours. I've come a long way."
Two years ago, Griesbauer, a 42-year-old native of New Jersey, had a horrific crash on her bike in Germany. She'll be racing Sunday after recovering from a broken pelvis, back and elbow that she suffered in the accident.
A 10-time All-American swimmer at Stanford University, Griesbauer is making her first appearance at the Lake Placid Ironman. She has two Ironman victories, Ironman UK in 2006 and Brazil 2009, and three top-10 Ironman World Championship finishes to her credit.
Lester, a 32-year-old who turned pro in 2009, owns two Ironman championships in her native Australia from 2010 and 2012 and hopes to add a Lake Placid title to her resume. Lester said she's been eyeing a trip to Lake Placid since the start of her career.
"It's been on my list pretty much since I've done my first Ironman," Lester said. "I have a soft spot for these little ski-town type places, and now I'm here. It's beautiful."

Manufactured home fire kills one
SPOKANE, Wash. - One person is dead following a house fire in northeast Spokane.
The fire started shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday in a single-wide trailer home which sits several houses back from Julia Street.
Fire officials said one person lives in the home. Firefighters were able to knock down the flames fairly quickly finding one person deceased inside.Manufactured home fire kills one
"At this time they've completed and all clear. Done a primary search and a secondary search and we only have one victim," Doug Bleeker, deputy chief for Fire District 9, said.
The medical examiner will now work to determine the cause of death for the resident of the home. That resident has not been identified publicly, though their next of kin has been notified.
Fire investigators said the cause of the fire has yet to be determined and a full report will still be days away. The fire does not appear to be suspicious.

How many of you have rented a movie, popped yourself some popcorn and enjoyed it with a glass of wine?
Don't be shy; you're in good company here. I will gladly admit that one of my favorite indulgences on a Friday night is a good movie, popcorn and a glass of wine. Wine and popcorn, you ask (you should know by now that Garrett Popcorn is not just popcorn it is a little taste of heaven)? Oh yes, and I would like to take you on a happy journey to popcorn and wine nirvana. Follow me.
For many years the idea of food and wine pairing conjured up visions of fancy restaurants, wine stewards and intimidating wine lists. That idea has been tossed out the window in the past decade; wine has become friendlier, more approachable and just plain fun (and what is more fun than popcorn?)!
In 2009 I hosted a 'Garrett Popcorn and Wine Pairing' class at Lynfred Winery. I cannot begin to tell you of the enthusiasm from the winery patrons upon the announcement. The event was sold out in one hour and one of the most frequent questions I get from customers is, 'When are you going to host another popcorn and wine pairing?' It is from this excitement that I have decided to teach you, the popcorn and wine fanatic, how to host your own pairing party (whether it's ten of your closest friends or just you, your fuzzy slippers and the remote). So, without further adieu, here are my favorite wines paired with Garrett's Popcorn:
CaramelCrisp®: Try with a Brut (this is dry) style Champagne or Sparkling wine. If you aren't into the bubbles try a somewhat oaky Chardonnay. Red wine drinker? The CaramelCrisp® would be awesome with a Syrah! For the sweet tooth: nibble the CaramelCrisp® while sipping on a cordial of Ice Wine!
Macadamia CaramelCrisp®: Would be positively divine with an Extra-Dry Sparkling wine or Champagne, a Chardonnay or a Late Harvest Riesling.
CheeseCorn™: My absolute favorite pairing in our recent popcorn and wine pairing session was the Cheddar CheeseCorn™ and Merlot! I know, I know, you let the movie 'Sideways' skew your logical brain from drinking Merlot but I promise you, Merlot is back, baby!
Pecan CaramelCrisp®: If you would like to experience popcorn and wine bliss I will share a secret with you; Pecan CaramelCrisp® and Ice Wine. You'll thank me.
Buttery and Semillon; enough said. If you cannot find a Semillon (it is a white Bordeaux grape that is often blended with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle) I recommend a Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or even a Pinot Grigio. If you are a fan of red wines I think you would love it with a Grenache or Malbec.
Plain: Where do I begin? Garrett's Plain popcorn is so wine friendly it is hard to decide. I recommend a Sauvignon Blanc for white wine drinkers and a Cabernet Sauvignon for red wine drinkers.
The Chicago Mix: This blend of Garrett's delish-ness calls for a group of friends and a mélange of fabulous wines! Might I also recommend a comedy for the movie?
Our guest blogger is Christina Anderson-Heller. Christina is the Marketing Director (but you may call her Wine Princess) for Lynfred Winery. Lynfred Winery is located in Roselle, Illinois and is Illinois' oldest and largest, continually-operating winery. Follow her on Twitter @lynfredwinery – you'll probably find her chatting with @garrettpopcorn about how much she loves Cheese Corn with Merlot.

Answer by Molly Lebowitz
Swati, You are in an excellent position to be wondering the things you are wondering right now. Thanks for writing. Ironically, I was in a very similar position when I was a student - initially studied biology... and then found myself in Engineering, specifically environmental engineering. My 2nd year, I, too, felt very bogged down with all the technical general engineering coursework. Not necessarily because it was too difficult, but because I couldn't picture myself actually using any of that in my real life. It didn't relate to what I was truly interested in or passionate about. Keep in mind that your undergraduate degree is kind of like your starting point. It does not at all dictate what you will do - it simply is a statement about what kind of working mind you have. What is going to differentiate you, and capture all of the ideas and subjects that you are genuiniely interested in, is the extra activities and jobs that you do. My advice is to continue with engineering. You are clearly a natural problem solver, and you can think of your diploma as proof to the world that you are a good problem solver. That's kind of what any degree in engineering represents. What will get you into the field that you are interested in is the extra stuff- spring break internships, writing a column for the paper, working extra hours in a biology lab. Use your extra activities to DIVERSIFY what you're doing and flesh out your college experience into something that better represents YOU. Then, when you get out into the working world, you can point to all of that as the basis for your decision, even if it's a little different than what you studied. Keep in mind that you do not have to simply do what everyone else in your major does. If your school allows you to change what type of engineering you are studying, you might consider that as an option. Talk with other students in the Biological or Environmental Engineering departments and see if it sounds like something you might like to try. Chances are, you're taking all the same first and second year basic classes that they are so you could easily switch. However I don't think continuing with your current trajectory would hurt you in any way. You will have time to work in whatever field you choose and use the skills that you already have and you could learn to apply them in a really unique way! Good luck. Molly Lebowitz

A genuinely unique cigar.
Victor Sinclair's Connecticut Yankee features a Connecticut-grown Havana-seed leaf. Genuine Connecticut-grown, Havana-seed leaf is not common, as it is neither broadleaf nor shade-grown. However, 4 years ago Victor Sinclair purchased a small, experimental cache of this rare wrapper tobacco....and the results are nothing short of delicious.
Indeed, the wrapper delivers a distinctively smooth, rich flavor. And combined with its premium blend of aged Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers, Connecticut Yankee offers a medium-bodied experience with a unique, mature bouquet of flavor including some rich, toasty and chocolatey notes.
5/12/15 A few weeks back, I got a helluva deal on a box of 20 toros. Upon opening, the aroma took me back to a time when my grandfather would smoke his pipe out in what we called the "pouting place." (In modern terms, his "man-cave.") Right of the truck this was a delightful cigar to smoke - decent burn with a little touch-up here and there, delicious taste, slightly rich with an enjoyable sweetness. I unwrapped a few and stashed them back in my humidor. Took one out today to enjoy on my patio and while the sweetness has died off a little, this is still a great cigar! A little more woodsy now with some spice, but not overpowering. Just a fine stick at a GREAT price.
Awesome smoke. Buddy of mine let me have a stick, and I must say it's a flavorful cigar. Will have a reserved spot in my humidor....
My wife got me the Father's Day gift set with humidor and Victor Sinclair sampler. I must say it is awesome. It's very very smooth. I will ordering a 5pk very soon.
First time Victor Sinclair Customer, but I have been pleased with the cigars. Since I am limited to enjoying a cigar when there is fair weather, these cigars have been in my humidor for a few months. I have been pleased with how well they have kept in my humidor and with their taste. If a consumer is looking for a soft-ball cigar to enjoy, this isn't the one. If you are looking for a stronger cigar with hints of pepper and spices, this is a fine candidate!
great cigar for golf! really goes great with a glass of Jameson Irish Whiskey
Got a couple of the torpedoes. The taste was ok, it didn't really get good until about halfway through. I can put up with an uneven burn, which mine had, but I won't tolerate a cigar that starts unraveling. That bugs me to no end. For an extra few bucks you can get a better tasting cigar that is constructed better as well.
The Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee is an awesome cigar for the money. Don't smoke it anywhere near a fire department because the plumes of smoke will set off alarms. Cigar wrapper has nice texture (leaf veins), pleasant aroma, really good tasting and slow burn. My humidor has 51 different cigars from various makers and this cigar is rated in my top three favorites...
I've been getting one of these in the Victor Sinclair Bakers Dozen samplers and this Conn. Yankee is starting to stand out somewhat from the others. I personally think ALL the Victor Sinclairs are amazingly good for their price level, but this Conn. Yankee is so unique, I'm seriously considering buying a box of them when the huge summer A/C bills start to back off ! ! !
Been smoking these for 4 years. I over bought (I thought) and left some in the bottom of the humidifier for three years, all the while buying more. After I rediscovered them I found them so nice and smooth. I wished I'd had enough patience to give them all a couple years. These truly are the best daily's I've had. Shows what a gentleman a Yankee can be.
I tried my first Connecticut Yankee as part of a sampler. As soon as that was gone I ordered a whole box. They are a very flavorful smoke. Goes perfect with an after dinner coffee. As others have stated they do require some attention for an even burn but it is well worth the effort. I'm fairly new to cigars but the Connecticut Yankee is my favorite so far. I will always have some in my humidor
I enjoyed this cigar for the price. I did not notice all of the subtle flavors that were described in some of the other reviews. Burn was a bit off.
Wrapper cracked upon lighting and caused uneven burn. Almost tossed it, but....Flavor was consistent through the entire cigar. Mellow and rich with a nice earthy cocoa and dark tobacco smooth flavor without harshness or bite. The only drawback was the wrapper in the beginning which tells of improper aging, low humidity in the cure and too much fertilizer during the growing of the leaf, and really a shame because the flavor of the wrapper and the blend is very nice. With aging and proper humidification, this could become a very nice all around choice of mellow every day kind of cigar to smoke with friends during a golf or poker game.
Just received my order of Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee 5x50 Robusto's with the 6x60 12 cigar Gordo sampler, once again my order came from CI quick and in perfect condition! Love Victor Sinclair cigars, great smoke for the price! Love CI customer for life!
Very nice smoke. Smooth all the way from start to finish. I like this cigar after dinner with s shot of sipping whisky on my front porch.
The box press and the corojo are indeed the best in this series. The box press offers a beautifully rolled cigar, while the round rolled cigars of the connecticut yankee are a little more so pinch bunched rolled often being a challenge to smoke.
This Connecticut Yankee is a wonderful stick! Smooth, rich and sweet spice all in a mellow bodied blend. I bought the Box Pressed 55's. I truly enjoyed this to-be-smoked-anytime cigar. Victor Sinclair cigars continue to surprise me; maybe it's time for me to realize VS is solid line of cigars!
Attention medium-bodied maduro lovers..........Connecticut Yankee is a steal for the price. Put down the Perdomo Slow-Aged Maduro, Flor De Oliva Maduro, & Black Pearl. Victor Sinclair did a great job on this cigar. This rivals the Nica Libre in the "bang for buck" maduro category. Honestly, I never thought Jose Dominguez had it in him to make a maduro that matches up against an A.J. Fernandez smoke in this price range. Now some of you may still be saying "no way Jose". I'll go even further and state that I'd take this over an Oliva G Maduro, Vegas Gold Maduro and "A", & Park Ave. Maduro. Hell, this is better than a Padron Maduro! Wait, that last one is stretching it a bit, haha.
I bought a bakers dozen sampler pack, and it was the first cigar I smoked out of the pack. I enjoy Connecticut cigars and this one exceeded my expectations. I will be buying more of these.
Just received a box of Connecticut Yankee toro 6 x 50. Right off the truck the pre-light aroma is fabulous. The cool draw carries waves of nutty, floral flavors. Nice construction, even burn and a long white solid ash. Victor Sinclair was one of my first premium cigars and I continue to enjoy multiple lines.
Information: Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee 5.5 x 55 Box Press Dominican Republic Scores (out of 10): Appearance - 8 Construction - 8 Flavor - 5 Value - 6 Overall Experience 6 Notes: I got this in a Victor Sinclair sampler pack. It has a good looking wrapper with veins. It looked very nice. Smelled decent. Smoked evenly throughout. Slight sour aftertaste. Nothing really special.
I would give it an 88 maybe a 89. Good budget price cigar with mild taste. The few I have had burned well as I let it set in the humi for a week.
Being from Connecticut I felt it was necessary to try these at some point. What a great cigar! As I type right now I'm still wallowing in the aftertaste. This cigar is pure goodness
I attend a small cigar club get together in which each month a different guy brings in the smokes ... there have been some premium offerings ... which I can't afford to match. But late last fall, I brought in what I could and what I felt are good solid cigars, well constructed, with a good draw and even burn ... and on the mild to medium side ... the other guys brought the scotch and bought the beer. The guys who attended thoroughly enjoyed the Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee torpedos. Now one of them this evening (almost a year later) is indicating that he's interested in getting more of them ... since he really likes them and especially the affordability vs the price per stick at local shops. Please continue to keep up the quality & affordability ... there are some out there who realize the value of this cigar.
This great cigar has a blue ribbon taped around the bottom, and the tape must be carefully teased off with a fingernail. Good up-close vision is helpful here. Just a warning.
"Just smoked my last Connecticut Yankee and I do have to say it was a decent smoke. Only issue was with the somewhat on even burn but other than that I would give it a 88, very good for a every day smoke."
Already being a fan of the Bohemian, I was all to eager to try the sampler pack of anything new coming down the pipe from Vic Sinclair - let me say they did not dissapoint. The Conniticut Yankee smokes as good as stickes three times as much. It has a Bolivar quality to it... the draw is consistent, a little chompy [which is good] but the cocoa[esqe] hints were astounding and the soft nutty finish was right on the money. My rating: 90
I received some of these as part of a sampler and this is a fine smoke. In fact, everything in the Victor Sinclair sampler was good all around but this one stood out from the rest. I will be ordering some more of these. Victor Sinclair is undoubtedly my personal favorite for the also attractive price.
Great stick! The connecticut yankee has a lot of flavor to be a mild stick. Great even burn and easy draw with lots of smoke. A must try!
Good gravy! What a tasty stick. On a whim I decided to order a Sinclair sampler and after trying this one, I'm glad I did. It's a nice medium, maybe tilting towards full... I'll call it "moderate" as far as intensity goes. Nice burn, lots of smoke. I'm not one of those guys that can taste things like white pepper, leather, pistachio nut, poppy seeds, etc, but this satisfies my quest for a suitable replacement for the taste of a RYJ Reserve. Maybe not the same, but VERY very good.
I just finished my first 5-pack of Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee and each one got better than the one before. This is one fine cigar! I just wish they would change the name because it is much too good to be called a Yankee.
I know it's unusual to add a second comment on a cigar, but this one is good enough to make me do it (Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee)... re: the uneven burn- I have found that a short stay, and by that I mean maybe 3 or 4 days, in my 'dry' humidor, a basic small one that I don't use any moisture in, allows the troublesome wrapper to dry enough so that it burns MUCH better, more evenly, with virtually no relights or other issues. Oh, and you'll know it's 'ready' when you can take that nettlesome bottom band off without fighting with it. The stogie shrinks a bit as it dries, and off you go, to smoking heaven.
This is a decent enough smoke requiring a bit of attention to make it burn evenly. Nice, variable flavour and, except for the somewhat uneven burn, well-made. I prefer a punch cut and the head of this cigar stays quite firm which is a big plus for me. (Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee) I like to keep the bands to put in my dossier, but the rather attractive band on the 'Yankee' was a right bugger to get off without mucking it up. A nice cigar.
Well, it's now become obvious that the cat is officially out of the bag. The secret has been discovered about the special flavor of the Connecticut Yankee by Victor Sinclair. By the time I checked my e-mail this evening, the whole shooting match of a couple thousand bundles of the "1 day" deal was sold out. Look, there are back orders on almost every other size of this cigar including the "toro grande" which was on special. You think he's onto something? Dang ... and I thought it was just my odd sense of taste that made me think the Conn. Yankee was a special smoke. How about another shot CI for those of us who blinked and couldn't be near the computer?
I had a sampler of all the Sinclairs in Presidente. The price was irresistible. I finished a Yankee and after an hour and a half smoke stared at the nub wishing I had more. I've had few since and never had a problem with re-lights. It doesn't burn as pretty as a $50 cigar but I can always overlook the little things when I'm happy! Mild to mild-medium and full of smoke. It bites just a touch the first few puffs, then mellows into a nice long enjoyable smoke. Today I got a couple of mazos of the Toro Grandes and I cannot wait.
hmmm... just picked these up on a Joe Cigar special... I love Joe :) Very nice flavor. (Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee) The remarks about construction being imperfect seem accurate. My guess is that it is the wrapper that is doing that, but what it lacks in manners, it makes up for in taste. This thing has it going on! Nice, rich flavor, kind of reminds me of Nestors stuff. Mellow, lots of smoke. A bit on the 'soft' side, regarding the roll, but it tastes really, really good, so all is forgiven.
I tried the Brown Bag sampler a while back, and out of all the great cigars I tried -- many for the first time -- the Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee was my drop-dead favorite. Smooth and delicious! So when CI recently ran a "daily deal" on a bundle of 20 of these babies, I jumped on it. And I have no regrets. The big Toro Grande size is perfect if, like me, you tend to savor a fine cigar. The one I enjoyed last night lasted a solid 2 hours!
I agree with JG about the Concecticut Yankee's construction, great draw, but flawed. It requires a lot of turning and re-lighting to keep it even and going past the middle. The flavor, however is wonderful. This is one great wrapper, almost corojo-like, but without the leather. Mmm-mmm good.
The attractive packaging of this cigar (Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee) invite the smoker on a journey that begins with earthy and nutty tones and transitions to a light leathery taste. Good even burn throughout the smoke. The structure of the cigar was a durable, but it lacked a consistent stem suture bonding. It was easy to draw on throughout the smoke but was hard to keep burning about halfway through the smoke and it eventually burnt out about prematurely. I enjoyed the unique flavor and experience.
I went ahead and tried the VS sampler and have to say any VS so far in that series has been excellent as far as taste goes. Now on to the Yankee.. so many flavors in this I was glad to have a clean palate when I started it, from a chocolate almost light mocha to a buttery on the get go was just a nice all around smoke. I have over 20+ years of smoking cigars so I am not a "novice blowing smoke up your" well you know, to me this is a nice treat and will be a great one to have around for both yourself as well as impressing your buddies "chuckles" with a low budget seegar.
I can't understand why no one reviewed this cigar yet!(Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee) These are incredible! First of all, look at the price. It's hard to imagine a cigar so good for so little. I love 5 Vegas "A" but these are just as good in a different way. Good construction ,draw and a flavor that is so unique that you'll have to light up another just to make sure you weren't dreaming. I will always have room in my humidor for this one. So give them a shot, or better yet don't, that way there will be more for me! Thanks CI!

BLM Nevada News
BLM Seeks Public Participation on Bald Mountain Mine – North Operations Area EIS
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely Field Office and Barrick Gold Corporation representatives are scheduled to meet with the public from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, May 8, Eureka Opera House, 31 South Main, Eureka, Nev., to get input on the proposed consolidation and expansion of the Bald Mountain Mine and Mooney Basin operations.
The North Operations Area Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will evaluate the potential impacts that expanding the Bald Mountain Mine and Mooney Basin operations may have on human, natural and cultural resources, as well as determine what measures would be necessary to mitigate or reduce the impacts. These two adjacent mines (Bald Mountain Mine and Mooney Basin Mine) will be combined into one plan of operation called the North Operations Area.
The expansion would include the extension of existing open pits, expansion of existing rock disposal areas and heap leach facilities, and construction of a truck shop, as well as the continued operation, reclamation, and closure of the existing Bald Mountain Mine and Mooney Basin operations, including mine offices, truck shops and warehouse, haul roads, ore stockpiles, access road, diversion ditches, power transmission lines, water wells and pipelines, process solution transmission pipelines and landfill.
Under the proposed action, there would be an additional disturbance of 3,808 acres. The proposed disturbance is on unpatented mining claims on BLM-administered public land. Project access will continue to be via existing public roads.
The formal public scoping process concludes at 5 p.m., Friday, May 25, 2007. Interested individuals should address all written comments to the BLM Ely Field Office, HC 33 Box 33500, Ely, Nev., 89301.
For more information, contact Project Manager Lynn Bjorklund, at (775) 289-1893 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Plans begin with funds OK'd
ALPENA -Now that the State of Michigan has approved the $21 million for emergency dredging in harbors around the state the city's granted money are preparing to have the work done, as well as putting plans in place to limit the affect it will have on boaters this summer.
In Alpena, Harbor Master Don Gilmet said the state also has passed legislation to speed up the permitting process through the Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get the dredging projects under way in a timely manner. He said thus far samples of the lake's bottom have been submitted for study and he doesn't expect any trouble gaining the needed permit.
"Right now we are in the stage of taking some soil samples for the amount of sand in what will be dredged and also for the presence of any heavy metals, which we don't expect there to be," Gimet said. "If everything goes to our plan we should be able to begin dredging immediately after the Michigan Brown Trout Festival is over with at the end of July or the first part of August."
Bids have not been sent out to have the work done, but Gilmet, who sits on the Michigan Port Collaborative, said harbor masters from the communities where dredging will take place are working to coordinate contractors in an effort to defray costs. He said until the contractors are hired and plans are finalized it is hard to predict how long the dredging will take to complete.
"We are assuming a seven to 10 day project, but we are looking at the other projects," Gilmet said. "Let's say we know Rogers City will be dredged during a certain week and they are a lower bidder maybe we can schedule and do something with them. We are hoping to save some money which can be put back into the pool and maybe be able to be used for other projects or maintenance."
As the barge and crane are working in the harbor there will be periods when boaters will have to move around the work and maybe have to moor their boat near a different dock while work is ongoing.
"Of course there will be some interruption to the boaters. You can't go digging in the swimming pool when the kids are swimming and not have an interruption, but we will try to make it as painless as possible," Gilmet said. "One good thing is we have so many slips available. People will just have to move around the work when going out to the lake and back and we may have to relocate some boats, but hopefully there won't be any major disruption for the boaters and there won't be any added costs."
In the past Gilmet has said the shallow water in the harbor prevents some larger sailboats to enter and visitors where forced to moor in the river or move to another destination altogether. He said after the dredging is done that should no longer be a concern. He said he also thinks when the project is complete it will lead to more boats visiting and staying in Alpena.
"That has been one of the arguments the collaborative has been making is that if the dredging is done it will bring people in for all of the harbors up and down the lake," Gilmet said. "We're hoping this is going to be a big positive and we will see more boat traffic."
Gilmet said once the work is done plans need to be made to help the other communities that didn't receive money, but still need harbor work and to not let the problem get as bad as it is now again.
"We need to find a way to be able to maintain the work that is going to be done. If the lake levels stay where they are at, or God forbid go even lower, this will be a constant problem," Gilmet said. "We need to work on a long term plan to see what will be needed over the next 20 years so down the road we don't end up with another $21 million problem."

The Market Fooled Everyone Today
Posted at 4:05 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 5
You can tell for certain what "they" like on days like today. "They" (meaning the collective wisdom of the market) love real estate investment trusts and the utilities, both of which "they" regard as yield equivalents backed by hard assets.
We may think this is all Ben Bernanke's doing, but I think that's so wrong. In fact, rates are where they are now because they are the world's safe haven -- except the rich people around the world who want a little extra yield. Plus, remember that this week President Obama moved on making foreign pension plans exempt from U.S. taxes on real estate trades, meaning they no longer pay taxes when they take profits on REITs. So the money's going there aggressively.
We are also witnessing an astonishing rally in the financials that makes little sense other than they have been down a lot. They don't have the yield, they don't do well in this yield environment and they are most likely going to disappoint when they start reporting, which is as soon as next Friday when we hear from JPMorgan Chase
The transports and materials companies? They were hammered hard ahead of the number, so you can see people saying, "Ah-hah, now we know why they were down. So we can go buy them." I get the first. The second? I don't know. I fear the earnings.

Godfrey is one of the hottest comedians on the circuit. Growing up in Chicago, he
constantly got in trouble for misbehaving and being an all-around class clown. Godfrey's Nigerian parents unknowingly encouraged his bad behavior by showing him classic comedy films from an early age. While performing impressions of his college football teammates, Godfrey realized his irreverent style of comedy might be more than just a hobby.
As soon as Godfrey went pro, he immediately landed several high profile projects. Ben
Stiller cast him to play himself in "Zoolander," a performance that has since achieved cult status. Godfrey?s more recent film roles in "Johnson Family Vacation," "The Cook Out" with Queen Latifah, "Phat Girlz" starring Monique, and "Soul Plane," alongside Snoop Dogg. Godfrey is perhaps best known for his stint as the "7UP Guy" in the beloved 7UP national campaign.
In addition to his film and television work, Godfrey is one of the most dominant forces on the comedy scene where he is in demand both as a host and standup headliner at the most prominent comedy clubs across both coasts including: The Comedy Cellar, the Comic Strip, Caroline's Comedy Club; and The Laugh Factory and The Improv in Los Angeles. Godfrey is fresh off filming his fourth appearance on BET's "Comicview," a guest starring role on "30 Rock," his own half-hour special for Comedy Central under his belt, and a recurring role on "Louie," Godfrey is clearly on the verge of super-stardom.
