Distinguishing exterior features of the new crossover include a relatively steeply raked windshield, a character line running across each flank (terminating in a somewhat cliche side-vent) and detailing on the hood that highlights the blue-oval badge in the grille. The overall look is a crisp and modern interpretation of Ford's Kinetic design language, though some consumers who purchased the outgoing Escape for its more traditional, boxy look could be put off.
The Escape is slightly larger than its predecessor in all directions. The wheelbase extends 2.8 inches longer to 105.9 inches, overall length is 178.1 inches (up by 3.4 inches) and width also expands by about half an inch (including mirrors). The changes translate to 0.9 and 2.9 extra cubic feet of cargo space behind the 1st and 2nd row seats, respectively, the latter of which now folds flat into the floor. Legroom is a wash, with front passengers losing about an inch of space that the rear occupants pick up in turn.
Under the Hood
The Escape is a poster child for Ford's engine downsizing strategy because it relies on a powertrain lineup that consists exclusively of four-cylinder motors.
Base-model Escapes are powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 168 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. The mid-grade mill is a 1.6-liter EcoBoost unit that produces 178 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, while a range-topping 2.0-liter EcoBoost pumps out 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.
Both EcoBoost engines make their power with the help of turbocharging and direct fuel-injection. Exclusive to the EcoBoost motors is an active grille shutter system that opens grille slats when extra cooling air is needed, such as stop and go driving situations, while at highway speeds the slats automatically close to improve aerodynamics and eke out extra mileage.
Partnering with each of the Escape's engines is an efficient six-speed "SelectShift" automatic transmission that allows manual gear changes via a switch on the left side of the gear selector.
Fuel economy is rated at 22/31 mpg, 23/32 mpg and 22/30 mpg with 2.5-, 1.6- and 2.0-liter models in front wheel drive form.
Standard Escapes send power to ground through the front wheels, while an all-wheel-drive system is available as an option on the two upper-level motors to boost all-weather capability. Ford claims that the setup utilizes advanced software and sensors to monitor wheel speed, accelerator pedal position and steering wheel angle and respond to road conditions and driver input 20 times per second.
Opting for AWD reduces mileage to 22/30 mpg for the 1.6-liter and 21/28 mpg for the 2.0-liter.
While touching on capability, it should also be mentioned that the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, while a trailer-sway control system detects trailer sway and automatically reduces engine speed while also applying asymmetrical braking to help counter it.
Life Aboard
At first glance, the Escape's interior looks to be lifted wholesale from the Focus. Indeed, it is quite similar to the cabin of the Focus and other vehicles designed under the automaker's global "One Ford" program (hardly a bad thing), but a closer look reveals a slightly different center stack setup with marginally more vertically-positioned audio controls, unique side vents and different passenger-side dashboard detailing. The steering wheel and instrument panel are shared with the Focus, however.
Parts sharing aside, the cabin enjoys soft-touch materials on most main surfaces, while a raft of NVH measures including sound deadening interior panels, enhanced window seals and foam baffles in the window pillars help to cut down on intrusive road noise.
User-Friendly Tech
The Escape offers a class-exclusive hands-free power liftgate that's activated by a gentle kicking motion under the rear bumper. Enabled by motion sensing technology used in current video game systems (no joke), the system unlocks and opens the liftgate and thus eliminates the need to put down items or fiddle with keys when loading cargo. The Escape's key fob must be in the close vicinity for the system to function.
All Escape models come standard with SYNC, Ford's Bluetooth-based connectivity system that allows smartphone uses to place calls and stream music by using voice commands or steering wheel-mounted buttons. It can also read incoming texts aloud to help the driver keep his or her eyes on the road, and allows the use of Ford-approved apps like The Wall Street Journal news and Pandora radio.
The Escape can be spec'd with MyFord Touch, an infotainment system that builds on SYNC by letting users control everything from navigation to climate control to the sound system with voice commands. MyFord Touch also replaces conventional sound system knobs and buttons with a center-mounted eight-inch touchscreen, dual 4.2-inch displays in the instrument cluster and touch-sensitive controls in the center stack. Many consumers report that the system is a "love it or hate it" item, so those interested in the Escape are advised to try before they buy.
Other key technologies include Curve Control, which automatically slows the vehicle when it's cornering too fast, as well as Torque Vectoring Control, which brakes the inside rear wheel to provide more balanced handling when the road gets twisty.
Trim Level Breakdown
The Escape is offered in S, SE and Titanium trim levels.
The S comes standard with the 2.5-liter motor in addition to A/C, power windows and locks, a rearview camera, a six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with an AUX input, SYNC-based Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, keyless entry and 17-inch steel wheels with hubcaps.
The SE adds the 1.6-liter engine (with the option to upgrade to either the 2.0-liter or the 2.5) as well as a SiriusXM satellite radio, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a compass and outside temperature display, automatic on/off headlights, fog lights, dual chrome exhaust tips, body-color exterior trim, silver front and rear faux skid plates, and 17-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels.
The Titanium brings leather upholstery, heated from seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a premium Sony audio system, MyFord Touch, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient interior lighting, a foot-active power liftgate, fog lights, a proximity key, push-button start, a reverse sensing system and 18-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels.
Highlights from the options list include a panoramic sunroof, a navigation system and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Images-conscious buyers can opt for a Chrome Appearance Package that adds chrome-look trim on the door handles, the tailgate, the front fascia and the door mirrors, 19-inch alloy wheels and leather-accented seats.
Occupant Safety
All Escape models come standard with dual front, front side and full-length side curtain airbags in addition to a driver's knee airbag, traction and stability control systems and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
Notably, the side airbags feature an adaptive venting technology that automatically deflates to better protect smaller passengers.
A Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is available as an optional extra.
Key Competitors
Not sure that the Escape is the right compact crossover for you? Luckily, there's a wide range of attractive alternatives to cross-shop.
Conservative but highly practical options include the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, while the Mazda CX-5 is the driver's choice.
Also worth a look is the stylish Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the well-rounded Subaru Forester and the upscale Volkswagen Tiguan.

Date Posted: Thursday, May 26th, 2016
Categories: Historical and Cultural Affairs News Sussex County
Beginning on June 8, 2016, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs will offer tours that explore the 18th-century history, artifacts and the surviving hull section of His Majesty's Sloop DeBraak, a British warship that was escorting and protecting a convoy of merchant ships en route to the United States when it was capsized and lost off the Delaware coast on May 25, 1798. Tours will take place at 9 a.m. on the following Wednesdays and Thursdays during 2016: June 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30; July 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28; Aug. 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25 and 31; and Sept. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29.
Each tour begins at the Zwaanendael Museum, located at 102 Kings Highway in Lewes, Del., where a lecture on the ship will be presented in conjunction with the exhibit "A Seaborne Citizenry: The DeBraak and Its Atlantic World." Participants will learn about the history, crew and sinking of the DeBraak through a guided presentation and display of actual artifacts. Attendees will then be transported, via van, to the DeBraak conservation facility to see the ship's surviving hull section.
Each tour will last approximately two hours. Individuals age 10 and up are welcome. Space is limited to 12 participants. The cost of the program is $10 per person. For reservations (non-refundable) please visit the Shop Delaware website (go to http://shop.delaware.gov and click on "Tours" in the "Categories" column). For questions, call 302-645-1148. Walk-ups are welcome but space is not guaranteed.
Significance of DeBraak …
During the late-18th and early-19th centuries, sloops of war such as DeBraak played an increasingly important role in Royal Navy campaigns. These relatively small vessels combined speed, agility, shallow draft and increased firepower, all of which made them formidable naval vessels. As the only Royal Navy sloop of war from this time period that has been recovered anywhere in the world, DeBraak serves as an invaluable historical resource for a time when Great Britain was the world's preeminent naval power.
The surviving section of the DeBraak's hull and its associated artifact collection have been curated by the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs since they were acquired by the state of Delaware in 1992. Approximately one-third of the hull survives including the keel, keelson and lower framing elements, including a large section of the starboard (right) side.
About the Zwaanendael Museum …
The Zwaanendael Museum was built in 1931 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the state's first European colony, Swanendael, established by the Dutch along Hoorn Kill (present-day Lewes-Rehoboth Canal) in 1631. Designed by E. William Martin (architect of Legislative Hall and the Hall of Records in Dover), the museum is modeled after the town hall in Hoorn, the Netherlands, and features a stepped facade gable with carved stonework and decorated shutters. The museum's exhibits and presentations provide a showcase for Lewes-area maritime, military and social history.

Whats Happening?
Let me say this first that I was not planning on publishing this book let alone making it a series. How the book came about was simply and joke and about my friend and her husband. I would tease them and say I need to write a book about you two and your forbidden love for each other. So I started writing about a boy name Alejandro and a girl name Francesca. Then all of a sudden the story just took off.
Note to inspiring writers: If something come to you that sounds far fetch...WRITE ABOUT IT! You just never know.

Monthly News!
Bloody Rose is in its early stages. I will be spending the rest of the year writing this one. I love suspense so I want to make sure my readers are on the edge of their seats when they read it. I think the characters that I have developed is a great cast, and I hope everyone enjoys reading them :)
In other news I need a vacation from my job...again. Yes, I know I just had one two weeks ago, but I need another one. I put in my request for September, so I hope I get approved. This will allow me some time to myself. I have been dreaming of going to the Berkeley Marina to seat in front of the water with my lap top, digging my toes in the sand. I think I will do that this go round.

Goodreads Review!
It has a lot of great aspects to the story: love, suspense, family.
Although I felt that the end was rushed. It was a good ending but it felt like 'Bam' thats it.
Other than that it was a wonderful novel, I highly recommend it to everyone.
I give it a 4/5."

Book Teaser
I have schedule a first book signing with a local book club. One of my church members asked if I would come and bring my book to do a signing. I though to myself, this is weird, but ok.
My next stop after that will be a Mother's Day comedy fest that a co-worker of mine puts on every year. She asked me to be one of the vendors for her show. She said, "I want you to bring your book, and your jewelry too." Wow! How will I jungle the two?

I just recived my proof today. I am really happy about the way everything is going so far. Looking at my proof, the melt downs were worth it ;-) . I have to make a few corrections and adjustments. Once I make those corrections then the book will be ready on paperback.

Book Trailer
As a new author and being self published, I really didn't know the importance of tags. Like some who are in the dark about tags like I am, it is key words for your book when customers are browsing book categories. I was told the more you have the more likely your book will come up. I tried it...and beleive it or not it was true. Tell me what you think about TAGS?
So I finally bought a new phone. And the reason for this is because when I get off of work all I want to do is write and go to sleep. I spend on average three hours per day (after work) being on the internet and not in my word document. Now with my new phone I can check email, blog, and continue to post on the social network sites. Ahh! Yes the wonderful world of electronics.

Letters: Christians in Iraq, Muslim Comedy, Ludden Farewell
Host John Ydstie reads from our listeners' letters. A number of listeners appreciated Jacki Lyden's story on the Christians of northern Iraq, and one expressed disdain for a story about the comedy troupe Allah Made Me Funny.
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
And now your letters.
A number of listeners wrote in to express appreciation for Jacki Lyden's story on the Christians of northern Iraq. Her report recalled the execution of leaders of the Assyrian Democratic Movement, or ADM, who resisted the genocidal regime of Saddam Hussein. Raham bin Yamen(ph), a student in Canada, wrote, `I would like to thank you with all my heart for taking on my people's story. My father was one of the three leaders executed in 1985. I was three months old and I had never met him. We had to flee to Iraq for our own safety and have never been able to return. That is why we become so touched when we know that our stories don't go untold and that our plea for justice doesn't go unheard.'
Not all listeners were so pleased with another story we ran about a Muslim comedy tour in the US. Laurie Recchi(ph) of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, wrote this about our story on the stand-up show Allah Made Me Funny. She says, `This segment was in extremely bad taste and totally offensive. No one--and I mean no one--should use the hideous current world terrorism for material.'
Finally, gone but not forgotten. Listener Dan Joel(ph) wrote in to tell us how much he'll miss Jennifer Ludden's hosting of ALL THINGS CONSIDERED on the weekends. Jennifer has gone back to her reporting job. Mr. Joel said, `She has a delightful voice, a bubbly, involved and engaging radio personality and,' he says, `a reporter's sense of the right questions to ask. My weekends will not be the same without her.'

Only spent about an hour and a half on this. A bit wiped out from last night being out until 4am. Happy to say I got to hear Digital Gnosis - Fovea through the speakers at The Metro Chicago during the Nocturna, a regular monthly/seasonal 18+ goth night. It sounded soo good.
But yeah, this track is a bit boring and messy at the same time. Whatevz.

Let us take a few moments to meditate on the last eight years.
- The U.S. is still bogged down in Iraq.
- The U.S. military is still protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan. It's been America's longest poppy field protection operation. And its longest war.
- The first black president expanded AFRICOM and the shadow wars and classified drone operations in Africa.
- He also destroyed Libya, the most prosperous, developed nation in North Africa. As expected, his justification for doing so was later revealed to be massive baloney bullshit.
- He «created a secret drones program to kill terrorist suspects worldwide without public acknowledgement or due process. Under his watch, the US has expanded the field of battle in the «war on terrorism» to a dozen countries and constructed institutions and routines of surveillance and assassination – such as the so-called 'disposition matrix' and 'Terror Tuesdays' that will have serious consequences beyond his presidency.»
- Then there's Ukraine. Don't even get us started.
- The «Asia pivot» is also working out great. So glad that we're now provoking the Chinese in an ocean called the South China Sea.
- And of course, there's Syria. The Obama administration's greatest, most moderate success.
- In general, everything is terrible.
Finally, someone has just come out and said it: Eight years of Obama has made the world vomit in disgust:
The Barack Obama administration's foreign policy over the eight years of Obama's presidency «evokes aversion of the entire world,» Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
«I think this man [Obama] and his team — naturally, speaking about the man we mean the team which has proved to be bad for all on the global arena,» she said in an interview with the Sunday Evening weekly news roundup on the Rossiya-1 television channel.
Obama's legacy can be summarized as the normalization of Bush-era horrors, complimented by the perpetuation of endless, covert war and cowardly drone programs.
It's been a disgusting eight years. Thank god that there is at least one country left on this earth that isn't afraid to tell it like it is.

I also looking for other brands and I know this is a Audi Forum but do you think you can help me with the Residual Value & Money Factor fro a BMW 328i
Thanks for your help,
I am in Texas. And I have solid credit.
Should I expect a dealership to honor (pass to me) the "buy rate" MF on a lease. My dealer told me that this was the rate that they pay to AFS -- and therefore NOT the rate that they can offer me (since they have to make money on the financing). Is this right?
BTW: the purchase price of the vehicle has some profit in it, plus there's dealer prep fees and lease acquisition fees etc. etc. etc. Plus 3 years worth of warrantly repair work, etc. I would think that there is plenty of profit all over the transaction.
Any advice appreciated.
Oops. Also meant to ask: What is the acquisition fee that I should expect. $695?
You're very welcome, amitvisual. I'm glad that you enjoy this forum so much. Here's the information that you're looking for. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 2.0T Sedan Premium with quattro and 12,000 miles per year are .00127 and 54%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 A4 2.0T Sedan Premium Plus are .00127 and 52%.

Hi lch77. I don't remember why the lease programs for these two cars were so different, but I have the latest info for you if you're interested. I posted the numbers for both the Premium and Premium plus in my previous message.

You're very welcome, jd25. Here is the latest. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 2.0T Sedan Premium Plus with quattro and 15,000 miles per year are .00127 and 50%, respectively. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would eb 2% higher. The resid for a 10k lease would be 3% higher (than the 15k, not the 12k).
The numbers for the non-quattro A4 are out now. Its 36 / 15k numbers for an '09 A4 2.0T Sedan Premium Plus FWD are .00133 and 49%.

Hi botero. The best way to evaluate this deal is to look at what this car's selling price is in relation to its MSRP or its dealer invoice price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult to tell how much of a dealer discount you are being given. Let us know what these numbers are and I am sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will be happy to give you their opinion of this deal.
As far as the BMW program goes, BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 328i with 15,000 miles per year are .00175 and 57, respectively.

Hi whichluxurycar. While dealers certainly are allowed to mark vehicles' money factors up, savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to get dealers to use vehicles' buy rates to calculate their lease payments.
Of course, there may not be that many Audi dealers in your section of Texas. If this dealer is the only game in town so to speak, this reduces your leverage in negotiations. That is somewhat offset by the fact that the market for new vehicles is so terrible right now that most dealers are desperate for deals.

ChitownDAG Posts: 2Do you know what the interest rate is on the 3 year balloon loan option in Illinois that looks like a lease (monthly payments, residual value, 36 month term, etc) but instead of having to pay off the balloon amount, you can turn the car back in. I'm also wondering if the residual values are the same as for a regular lease?
Thanks for your answer the MSRP for this Car will be USD$34.405.
If have gone to another dealer and I got the same model but with the standard color (Black) as folllows:
R. Value - 54%
Payments - USD$450 + Tax (7%).
Thanks again and await your important comments
hofhofhof Posts: 1Hi CarMan. I'm in Los Angeles and am looking at an A4 Wagon ( i haven' seen a lot of posts for wagons). it's dakar beige premium plus. sticker price $46k or so. is residual value still 52%. I'm figuring if I can negotiate the sales price to $44k or so. With $3500 down I should be able to get a monthly payment of around $525 plus tax-assuming your .00202 money factor/4.9%. What do you think? Thanks for any and all info you have regarding this and A4 wagon with premium packages (not premium plus). And, what kind of acquisition fees should i expect? Thanks so much.
Here in NorCal we're seeing deals below invoice, so you should be able to get the same in LA, otherwise spend $100 on a 1-way ticket and pick it up here
pinerivergal Posts: 15Can you provide the residual % and money factor.
CC hoping to pay $33500
invoice about $33812
36 mo.
10000 miles/yr
Thank you!
twowhats Posts: 2Hi CarMan, I too am looking for an A4 Avant. Ideally I'd like to get the S-line package that comes with the 19" rims but after talking to a couple of dealers it seems that you can only get the S-line package on the prestige model. I did the price on Edmunds for invoice and it came out to 43,254. That said, one dealer told me the residual is worse on the prestige model than it is with the premium plus. So now I'm thinking of just getting the premium with sport package and getting my own 19" rims. (About 38k without the cost of the rims)
Here's what I'd like to pay. Let me know if you have any advice..
3,500 Drive Off
450 / Month with tax
Also, I'm in Los Angeles so I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not.
chisoxindc Posts: 7I believe Audi's loyalty program expired at the beginning of the month. Are they offering any current loyalty program? How often do they tend to offer bonuses? My Premier Purchase matures in early April so I'm starting to think about what to do.
rbergmandc Posts: 14Looking to find MF, Residual, and Cap Cost red ? for the above for January..
Also.. by chance can anyone explain Cap Cost to me.. looking to lease 12k/yr, 36 mos, nothing down.. roll in taxes in NYS
Found a great calculator online to find the price i want.. but not sure what cap cost means.. also .. how can i find INVOICE ?
MSRP on the car i believe is 36,700
dan7957 Posts: 1hi amitvisual,
i'm also in the bay area currently deciding between an audi a4 and an mb c300 sport. which norcal audi dealers have you heard are going below invoice?
Try Elk Grove Audi - talk to Ty in sales.
Looking to lease 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro, got this numbers from dealership in naperville, IL. How do I figure out the cap cost (priced at which dealer is selling the car) from these numbers?
Residual: $19188
Downpayment: $5500 (includes taxes which are 7.25%)
Term: 36monts
Miles: 10,000
Monthly Payment: $388 (If downpayment of $5500 is rolled into lease then its $498)
Any dealer offering this car below invoice in IL?
I got these at continental audi of naperville. (not too customer friendly), any better dealer's you have good experience with?
Hi ChitownDAG. I suspect that Audi Financial Services' residual values for balloon notes are the same as its residuals for leases, but I am not 100% positive that this is the case. Given their lack of popularity I do not personally keep tabs on the details of balloon note programs. Sorry that I could not be of more help.

You're welcome, botero. This car's selling price is different than its MSRP. Remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. It's great that you know this car's MSRP, but that's not the most important number. You can look up the MSRP anywhere. You need to find out what price the dealer is actually charging you for this car. If you tell us what the selling price is, we can give you our opinions on how good a deal you are getting.

Hi hofhofhof. The A4 Avant that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $2,800 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $44,000 that you mentioned would probably be around $800 over invoice, which isn't bad.
Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of an '09 A4 Avant is .00162. Make sure that the dealer uses this factor to calculate your vehicle's payment.
I see that you are considering making a $3,500 down payment on your lease. I always advise community members not to make large down payments on leases. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher, you would be better off going with a zero down lease.
I believe that Audi Financial Services charges a $575 acquisition fee on leases.

Hi chisoxindc. Audi is running a loyalty promotion on the A4 this month. Current Audi Financial Services customers will receive a $1,500 cash incentive if they finance or $750 if they lease a new '09 A4 through AFS.

troylimey15 Posts: 2Hopefully this post is within the context of the forum.
I plan on leasing an Audi A4 in the Iowa area, but there is a chance of me moving out of state during the lease period. I can't seem to find an answer to this question: Does Audi Financial Services let you move out of state with a lease? Everyone I ask, including the dealer, says they "should" allow it. But, I don't want to end up screwing myself over.
kyfdx Posts: 66,568Moving to a different state shouldn't be a problem... but, what you should be worried about are sales tax issues...
I'm not sure how the lease tax is handled in Iowa, but if you are in a state where you pay the tax upfront, then move to a state where you are taxed monthly on the payment, then your payment may go up...
Actually, it could be a problem, either way... Do you know what state you might be moving to?

My local dealer is quoting a .00142 money rate instead of .00127 for 10k, 36month A4. He said Audi adds .00015 to "cover the security deposit" since I am not a returning customer. I asked exactly what this means and he replied the security deposit covers the first payment, so that's what the extra .00015 is for.
Does that make sense or am I being taken advantage of here?
As follow up to my post above, I am considering the prestige package, and he quotes 36month residual of 50%, and says it is 53% for premium plus. Is the 50% accurate.
Thanks much.

SECRETS OF THE DEAD "The Real Trojan Horse". Premieres Tuesday, October 13, 2015, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings). 55 minutes.

Produced/Directed by Tom Fowlie, Executive Producers for Blink Films Dan Oliver and Dan Chambers; Executive in Charge Stephen Segaller; Executive Producer Steve Burns. Narrated by Jay O. Sanders. A Blink Films production in association with Thirteen Productions LLC for WNET. Featuring classicists Edith Hall and Eric H. Cline; military historians Barry Strauss and Mark Schwartz; geophysicist Nurican Meral Ozel; military engineer Stephen Ressler, and archaeologist C. Brian Rose; with an acknowledgement to archaeologist Peter Jablonka.

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."

Admittedly, that's a quote from the Roman poet Virgil, not the Greek poet Homer, but it refers to an ancient legend reported in Homer's masterpiece epic poem, The Iliad. That legend was that the ancient Mycenaean Greeks ended the nine-year-long stalemate of the Trojan War by constructing a wooden horse, stuffing it with warriors and leaving it outside the gates of Troy for unwary Trojans to mistake as a parting gift.

The Real Trojan Horse

"The Real Trojan Horse" is a 2015 video from the PBS series Secrets of the Dead, and it addresses only the most recent of the impossible theories trying to pin down the reality of Homer's Trojan War. Was the Trojan War reported by Homer merely a legend, or was it based on real events that occurred 500 years earlier? Think about this project: finding sufficient scientific evidence to "prove" the "facts" derived from what is essentially an oral history passed down for 25 generations. It's tantalizing, it's insanity. You gotta love it.

Scholars, never minding that this is a crazy idea, have used the detailed information in Homer's poetry to find Troy at Hisarlik, the ruins of sufficiently large ancient city in the right place, that showed evidence of an earthquake followed by a violent conflagration at the right time. If that identification of Troy is correct, how much else can we find in Homer that might have some reality?

Pushing the Homeric Envelope

In "The Real Trojan Horse", a collection of historians, archaeologists, and engineers take the search for reality in Homer further, exploring the idea of the Trojan Horse to see if it would work. Let's face it: after 3,000 years, there won't ever be archaeological evidence supporting such a thing: but, the program asks, physically, experimentally, could it have been a real event?

The first half of the Real Trojan Horse takes us to Hisarlik to look at the trenches left by excavator Heinrich Schliemann, and to discuss the archaeological evidence that this is indeed Troy, and how it came to be assigned that way. Maps, three-dimensional reconstructions and reenactments are used to flesh out the ancient story. Examination of cracks in the defensive structures and a visit to Istanbul's Structural and Earthquake Engineering Lab at Istanbul Technical University helps provide evidence of the frightful earthquake reported in The Iliad.

The second half takes us into the working out of the physical construction of a thought-experiment: what if the Trojan Horse really was a wooden structure? What would that look like, how feasible is it as a tactical ruse? If it wasn't a horse, what else might the stories have referred to?

Bottom Line

Featured in the episode are classicists and archaeologists (including C. Brian Rose, who excavated at Hisarlik in the 1990s), engineers and military historians. All serious people, all intrigued by the thought experiment, and willing to explore it a bit further.

Ancient history and archaeology have a strange relationship: what are sometimes seen as fantastical legends and mythic heroes in ancient texts are sometimes found to be grounded in reality. And then there are miracles--well, let's not go there. The search for "The Real Trojan Horse" is a quixotic search, crazy from the outset and totally unprovable: but such fun!

And in a world so torn by sectarian strife in the region near and now in Turkey, we could all stand a bit of fun right now. Don't miss it.

Historic Johnson Farm will hold its holiday open house, "Christmas at the Farm," from noon to 5 pm. Saturday.
Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for children. Historic Johnson Farm is at 3346 Haywood Road, Hendersonville, across from Rugby Middle School.
The property is a National Register of Historic Places farm, decorated for the holiday season. The event will include a tour of the oldest brick home in Henderson County. Enjoy seasonal music, wagon rides, a bake sale and refreshments. (The property is an alcohol and tobacco free site. No pets please.)
Special features of the event are a walk down the Christmas Tree Trail that leads to the 1880s brick farmhouse. Trees on the trail will feature handmade ornaments made by students from area schools, including Atkinson Elementary, Balfour Education Center, East Henderson High School, Edneyville Elementary, Etowah Elementary, Flat Rock Middle School, Fletcher Elemen-tary, Hendersonville Elementary, Hendersonville Middle School, Hendersonville High School, Mar-low Elementary, Upward Elemen-tary, Home School Program and Mountain Community School. Each Frasier fir tree will be decorated with a theme such as stars, gingerbread men, music, Santas, North Carolina and more.
Guests may meet and greet Santa Claus and have a photo made for a modest fee. Homemade cakes will be for sale. Musicians will provide live music. After a guided tour of the house, guests may take a wagon ride through the grounds of Historic Johnson Farm and return to the Interpretive Center for free refreshments.
Among the musicians are Jan Hranek on Hammered Dulcimer and Steve Whiteside and Friends performing Bluegrass and Christmas tunes.
Christmas of Yesteryear
The oldest brick farmhouse in Henderson County was newly restored in 2005-06 with a Janirve grant and community support. Originally completed in 1880 after four years of construction, the elegant home is Italianate in style. It retains its large porches, original windows and shutters. Many of the home's furnishings are original as well. The home was built before the days of electricity and power tools. Ox carts brought clay from the French Broad River and bricks were baked on the premises. All features of the home were made by hand.
Visitors may expect to enter through the arched front door into an earlier, more peaceful world of Christmas past. In the front hall, the handsome quarter-turn staircase rises to the third floor. This, like the rest of the house, has been decorated with fresh greens from the 15-acre farm property. Christmas carols will fill the air as well as the aroma of cider and cookies. Trained docents will be present to guide guests through the Johnson family home and answer questions.
Down in the pasture, the two donkeys, Chelsea and Leister, have put on their winter coats and are anxious to greet visitors, as are the two new Jacob's sheep -- the newest additions to the farm menagerie. After coffee, mulled cider and cookies, in the Interpre-tive Center, get a head start on Christmas entertaining by purchasing a pound cake that freezes well.
Today the farm is operated as a heritage education center by the non-profit Henderson County Education Foundation and the Henderson County Public Schools. The property was a gift to area schoolchildren by the late Vernon and Leander Johnson. Contact farm coordinator Ingrid McNair at 891-6585 for more information.

I've got three 'it' names for daughters, which I've had since I was 17 or so (Elspeth, Ingrid, and Margaret/Margot). Boys are a bit different: I have a top five or so, but the 'it' name changes pretty regularly between them and I'm not as attached to them. I'm more attached to three boy middles, which are Alistair, Robert/Robin, and James/Seumas/Hamish...I'd probably let the S.O. have his way on boy firsts if I got the middles, and vice versa for the girls
The first 'it' name I remember having is Norah I was in love with that name after reading Kit Pearson's Guests of War trilogy in grade 2 or 3, and realising it was related to my sister's name without sounding identical.

Coral jewelry art
Coral is a material of the skeleton of the colony of coral polyps ("bioherm"). Large concentrations of corals form coral reefs and coral islands. The usual and ordinary corals are used as raw materials to produce lime, but some rare species are a precious raw material for the manufacture of jewelry. Among the variety of marine resources in nature, there are real deep water treasures – pink, black, "gold", blue and bamboo coral. In the Mediterranean Sea and off the coast of Japan live red or precious corals – gorgonians. From their calcareous skeleton of red and pink, purified from polyps, even in ancient times, at least 25 thousand years ago, produced expensive necklaces, bracelets, brooches, cameos, and other products.
Coral – one of the most ancient jewelry materials; archaeologists found beads of pink coral of Mediterranean origin, among the remains of Paleolithic man in a cave Vildsheyer (Germany), which age – 35-10 thousand years BC. The literature describes the Sumerian five-thousand-year-old vase of decorated corals.
The ancient Greeks considered pink coral a symbol of immortality, believed that it could protect the wearer from the "evil eye", poisoning, cure for gout and other diseases. In ancient times, coral jewelry finally entered the vocabulary. Ancient Greek legend tells that when Perseus with the severed head of Medusa the Gorgon was flying over the sea, in those places where the drops of blood fell into the water, rose red corals, called gorgonian.
One can say that in fashion coral jewelry exists more than two thousand years, and it did not pass a single epoch, a single state. In the jewelry art of medieval Russia coral found the widest application as inlaid material. In the era of European Renaissance developed glyptic tradition of carving on corals that in our time is largely extinct, at least in Europe.
Pnk coral was highly prized in ancient China. In the famous Kurkatsk tombs on the banks of the river Shirinsu in Tajikistan, where 1.5 thousand years ago, was the legendary city Kiropol, archaeologists along with gold bracteats (thin gold plates with the image of a human face) and jewelry from Badakhshan rubies found coral beads and raw coral branches.
These gemstones sea composed of calcite (88%) doped with magnesium compounds and organic iron compounds. Black coral from the gorgonian kind has black or brown skeleton of gorgonina – hornlike substance. Its colony have a tree, bushy or fan shape and can reach 3.5 m in height with a thickness at the base up to 25-30 cm. Patchy black coral fishery are the Mediterranean and Red seas, ocean coast of Sri Lanka and the islands of the Malay Archipelago. In hardness and strength, it is similar to pearls and ivory, products from it since ancient times were known in the East.
The palette of corals consists of up to 350 colors. Most often, they are white, but people have learned to dye them in different colors and use in jewelry. In Oceania there are eight lagoons full of "sun coral" which has cobalt blue color which gradually fades in sunlight. Precious Hawaiian "golden" Hexacorallia has the rare golden color. From it are made expensive necklaces, pendants, brooches and cabochon inserts for rings.
Color of coral depends on the content of organic matter, illumination and impurities trapped in the process of growth. Black coral coloration is due to the presence of the substance – conchiolin. There are also yellow, yellow-brown, the most rare – blue corals. It is worth noting that jewelers use corals of all shades – red and pink and black. Regarding the black coral, there is a great myth about their expensive cost. If an inexperienced trader happens to meet with an experienced Cuban, he will be happy to tell you about the amazing noble and valuable black coral. The truth is that the prices of the best varieties of red corals differ from the price of black, which is really cheaper.
In the seas and oceans live over 6,000 species of corals. In the equatorial zone of the Pacific and Indian oceans are composed many thousands of coral islands, atolls and reefs. One of them – the Great Barrier Reef, which stretches along the northeast coast of Australia in the Coral Sea more than 2,300 km., or the Barrier Reef with a total length of about 1,800 km. along the coast of New Caledonia in the Pacific. At the eastern coast of Australia was established the world's first nature reserve of coral reefs. In its composition includes the stunning area of the underwater kingdom, as well as some areas of the Great Barrier Reef.
For the normal life of a coral colony typically need water of specific salinity – 27-40%, the optimum temperature – 18-32 ° C and a depth of not more than 200 m. Although some modern coral banks are thriving in deep and cold conditions of the seabed. Coral skeletons are in the form of branches, on which settle polyps. Some die, and in their place colonize new generations, which in turn give way "under the sun" to the following. It is found that the pink coral grows at a speed of approximately 75 mm per year.
In jewelry most often is used Corallium rubrum, growing at depths of 20 – 200 m, and Corallium japonicum, growing in the Atlantic and the Pacific, mostly at depths from 100 to 1500 m. "Noble" varieties include corals painted in pink, red, orange, pink and brown, also appreciated dark brown, blue, black corals (akabar). The most valuable is red coral, to which are often compared lips of beauties.
In the jewelry business is also used coral fossil. In Florida (USA) in the river bed near White Springs, and on the shore of beautiful Tampa Bay were found silicified corals of red, yellow and white colors, reaching 7-10 cm In diameter. The corals were used for creating original jewelry and souvenirs.
In the 13-18 centuries Russian masters widely used corals to decorate clothing. Thanks to the close consonance of words "coral" and "king" (koral – korol) in the old Russia the treated beads of red coral were called korolek. Almost forgotten now quite old Russian name of red coral – Dragon. According to Greek and Roman legends of dragons – the stone was found in the brain of certain dragons (possibly large reptiles or snakes). Clear information about why the so called red coral in Russia, has not survived, but the name is alive and can be found in a lot of sources.

In naming organisms, biologists use binomial nomenclature, which Webster's Third International Dictionary defines as
For example, the house mouse has been assigned the two-part name Mus musculus, in which Mus is the genus name and musculus is the species name.
This system, in which the names are usually in Latin or Greek, was devised during the first half of the eighteenth century by Carolus Linnaeus, when the educated were still masters of those languages.
Because all existing classifications of living organisms were cast in terms of binomial nomenclature when biology first began, scientists kept using the same system even when the original motives for creating the system (which are rooted in the arcane doctrines of medieval philosophy) ceased to exist.
Also, the word species remained as prominent in scientific debate as it had been in the religious and philosophical discussions of old. Naturalists had always used the term and they continued to do so. In constructing their systems of classification, medieval schoolmen had wanted to be sure that they were correct when they used the word species to refer to a given type of organism. Modern scientists who construct such systems (taxonomists) want to be sure of the same thing.
However, debate has been endless over the question of what exact criteria are appropriate for making such determinations. If biologists are to carry out the process of naming organisms in an objective manner, they need a clear definition of species. But attempts to say which populations should be treated as species have always been, and continue to be, problematic.

Dating can be fun but many times after what you thought was an awesome first date, you are stuck wondering why your phone calls aren't being answered or the person's profile (for you online daters) is no longer viewable. To help you understand what it is that you may have done to lose that perfect date, we have made a list of secondary red flags that people see that aren't as popular as the typical stuff. You know the standard flags of: bad hygiene, being rude to waiters, texting or using the cellphone, not really listening but waiting to talk, those type of things. Check out the list of innocent red flags and if you've been guilty of one in the past, you may want to reconsider doing it on future first dates. 10 things that may impact your first date negatively: 1.

Successful Single Women Can't Be Mothers
Editor's Note: Don't be a reactionary troll from my title, read the article. According to a lot of men, the idea of a suitcase carrying woman in a pantsuit does not vibe well with the happy housewife image that is the conservative ideal. This accounts to many of the issues women with strong careers have with finding a peer (in business) to date and marry. Men aren't necessarily looking for a "lesser" woman to marry but they are looking for a woman who fits into the mold of what is shown as the ideal. Donald Draper looks for Betty Draper not a Peggy Olson aka the career driven go-hard that's pretty but focused on the prize. Sure this doesn't account for every male who shies away from single professional women but it describes a healthy chunk of us that run for the hills when we… [Read more]
One of the major disconnects that men and tomboys have is the fact that a rough-and-tumble girl usually has a large collection of guy friends. It would be silly to assume that a woman who partakes in things that are almost exclusively boys club would bond mostly with women when men are what she's going to be most comfortable around due to her day-to-day. Many people assume things from a distance and although the friendship may be innocent to her, for the guys in her circle 99.9% of them are trying in their own way to have sex with her. As men we carry a lot of stigmas towards these women, not to say that women don't have their fair share. In the last post I did on tomboys we had women commenting that they are all lesbians and a bunch of other noise so… [Read more]
Are you a guy that freezes up on the approach? Worried about how you will look to some hot stranger and the chance that you may come off as lame or uncool? Then imagine how you would feel if you saw a major celebrity? What if that celebrity was single, from your hometown (or close) and out and about having fun… at a venue that you're attending? Would you be the type to try your luck at making that fantasy (of you and her) a reality, or would you slink away into the crowd hiding, observing from afar as if she was still on TV? You know those guys who have casual pictures of them and a celeb but the body language in the picture reads more than "fanboi and celeb"? Sure you do, and you probably see other people going crazy like "DUDE! Where… [Read more]
Good Men Must Ignore Women That Love Losers
Doesn't it concern you that out of a vast pool of worthwhile fishes in the pond all eyes seem to be on the lot that swims closest to the surface? What I am getting at is the human need to get with people that do not want us. It's amazing how crazy the laws of attraction are and it's even crazier that there are people who would chase a dream over going for the people that actually like them. Chasing Waterfalls… Consider this; Janine loves Mike because he is crazy, dark and a felon. Mike on the other hand knows that Janine likes him so he figures she would be good for a solid poking before he moves on to win the attention of Sarah, who thinks Mike is a loser. Behind the scenes is Larry who thinks Janine is the picture perfect model of his… [Read more]
On many articles written here I have mentioned the aspect of rejection bumps and getting used to the word "NO". Easier said than done for you tender hearts, I know, but it's important. The way that most players earn their stripes to becoming ladies men is the same way people at a call center get better at their jobs. In a call center you try your best to be cordial, stay professional and not lose your cool through all the "get lost" and " lose my number you jackass" that you receive on a daily basis. It's a hazing that usually results in a lack of care for the insults as you get seasoned into the job and master it. You begin to notice patterns, you learn to spot a weakness in their defense and before long you're getting ace numbers. Just like a call… [Read more]
Women can do some of the most subtle gestures and make us want to ravage them like nobody's business. I am not sure if the opposite holds true – like do I turn you on when I adjust my package? Just kidding, don't answer that. But in all seriousness, there is that little tinge of "trying too hard" that makes a man look at someone else and that little tinge of "damn she's so sexy the way she stands" that keeps us staring while trying our best not to look like some loser stalker. Knowing this fact of attraction I have decided to list some of those tiny gestures that can blow our mind. Now mind yourself that these are all subjective to both the performer and the audience, so women trying to pull a man – practice with caution. It is on an individual… [Read more]
A Man's Friend Zone is known as the Booty Call
Before I start let me say this: Women, you will not find this easy to wrap your head around because like it or not men see sex a lot differently from women. While there are some women who defy this generalization, most men have absolutely no qualms with having no-strings attached sex. What this means is that there is a difference in friend-zone for a man and a woman dealing with someone that they tried dating before. When a man fails to impress a woman enough to sleep with her and become her man, she will slap him firmly into the friend-zone where he has access to talking to her but little else. Most men absolutely hate this crap and it takes some time and observation before he realizes that he is in it. For women however if she dates a guy that she's into… [Read more]

Unanswered: Working with views
My problem is twofold :
I have created views in DB2 , but lately they seems to be obtaining the requested data from a cache, ie : the view isn't being refreshed. I know this, because as soon as I drop the view and re-create it again, the data I'm looking for is there.
So could anyone help me with A) Checking to see what code was used to create a specific view, B) How to fix the caching problem.

Re: Working with views
I'm not sure if I understand your problem ...
AFAIK, a view is never materialized and cached ... The view is stored in dB2 as a definition only .... Whenever a view is referred, using the defn db2 gets the table from the bufferpool or disk to build the resultset ...
To see the view definition, use SYSCAT.VIEWS

Flurries flying Saturday, staying for a few days
(WTXF) - The Philadelphia region started the last weekend of January with flurries flying around, and they're going to keep coming– on and off – for the next few days.
DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 Weather Authority App for the latest updates this winter
But don't worry; FOX 29's meteorologist Scott Williams they won't cause any major problems or accumulation.
Saturday morning, we're starting with temperatures in the 30s, but it's feeling like the 20s. (Click the I-676/Vine Street Expressway picture for more pictures and graphics.)
DOWNLOAD: The FOX 29 App for the latest news and weather
Camden and Gloucester counties we're getting the most, shortly after 8am, and they were moving east towards the shore.
There could be snow showers in Reading and the Lehigh Valley, and especially the Poconos.
Saturday's highs around Philadelphia should go above 40 but wind gusts of up to 30mph will keep it feeling like the 30s. (WATCH Center City flurries at about 9am Saturday that were shown live on FOX 29's Facebook page.)
But then, over the next few days, we'll have some reinforcing shots of cold air.
WEATHER ALERTS: Watches, warnings, advisories by county
Those disturbances – or clipper-like systems – will come through quickly.
Most of us will be above freezing but again, that's the surface temperature so what comes down will melt rather than stick.
Saturday night's low around Philadelphia will be about 30, and it'll feel like the 30s for most of the weekend.
Temperatures will have trouble making it to 40 for most of the week. Wednesday looks like the closest.
SIGN UP: Get school closings by text alert
Then, looking further ahead, there's the possibility of a coastal system next weekend.
