This year's Ready to Race weekend is happening the 7th and 8th March 2015 and should prove an unmissable weekend for all Members as the new sailing season approaches. This is an opportunity for all to enjoy a great dinner at the Club, attend interesting lectures and to take part in training to update or obtain skills to assist members in performing any race management duties they have been assigned for the coming season.
Highlights of the programme for the weekend, set out in more detail below, include a talk by Dick Batt on sails, a talk by Harvey Hillary on racing tactics and how to move up the fleet, a pre-dinner talk by Admiral Lippiett about the fascinating Mary Rose Museum, a "Happy Hour" of reduced price drinks at the bar prior to an excellent dinner as well as a full programme of training courses.

Please do visit the Onwards and Upwards page (see yellow tab opposite) for the latest updates in our campaign.
Our latest message to members can be found here.
In particular, I am delighted to say that as at 1st March on our appeal to bondholders launched on 23rd January:
- - £258k (75% of those approached) of responses have now been received from 53 of the 71 approached
- waivers made to date total £93,325, only £7,200 of which are conditional (these have conditions we expect to be able to meet)
- there are a further £24,675 where bondholders have expressed potential interest in waiving.
Over two thirds by value and half by number of the people who have agreed waivers have done so for 100% of their holdings. Several have recently switched from no to yes, or increased the size of their waiver. Waivers are still coming in, for which we are most appreciative.

ISC's Eleanor Keers & Izzy Pugh crowned Mirror Junior World Champions 2015
Sailing in Africa - what an experience! Theewater SC near Villiersdorp, in Western Cape, situated in the Cape winefields and fruit growing area, must be one of the most stunning venues on earth. Surrounded by imposing mountains, forests and fruit fields - sunshine in abundance and wind a plenty - perfect conditions for the gathering of the Mirror fleets from UK, Australia, South Africa, Japan and France. The fleet represented the full spectrum of Mirror sailing - wooden boats and plastic boats, juniors and parents/children, gaff rigs and single masts. The Izivungu Vungu Sailing Academy from Cape Town that supports sailing development for township children brought their special African flavour to the regatta - including their excellent band and dancing. The top of the fleet included a top French 470 sailor, UK and South African national 420 squad sailors - and some vastly experienced parents sailing with their children. The UK fleet mainly consisted of juniors, with ages ranging from 10 to 17, having graduated through the RYA and Mirror Class Association squads, representing Itchenor SC, Torpoint Mosquito SC and Restronguet SC.
As ever, consistency paid in the final results with Michaela (15) and Ryan Robinson (18) from RSA emerging as World Champions with a day to spare, counting ten races in the top ten. They have truly shattered the perception that you need a 'plastic' Mirror to win at the highest level with their immaculately prepared 8 year old wooden boat. Michaela crewed for Ryan when they won the Worlds at Lough Derg in Ireland in 2013 and continuing the Robinson family sibling mentoring policy this time the tables were turned and Ryan helped Michaela to win.
Team GBR were looking strong mid way through the regatta with ISC's Eleanor Keers & Izzy Pugh level on points with the Robinsons and her elder sister Gemma & Imogen Bellfield sitting in third. The Australians, South Africans and the French boat were hot on their heels - with the GBR boats excelling in the strong winds - the Aussies and South Africans were particularly astute in the lighter winds, finding the right way to go during the periods of wind transition before the daily SE'er set in each afternoon. With the Race Officer having done a great job in packing in 11 races in 4 days, he only had to fit in 1 race on the final day which started in a good 8 kt breeze but inevitably it switched off on the final beat with the Australians at the forefront - giving Simon Barwood and his 8 year old son Tyson the points to edge into a well deserved 2nd place. Eleanor Keers and Izzy Pugh took third place overall and first junior boat, crowning them the Junior World Champions.
Itchenor SC entries included;
3rd - Elenaor Keers & Izzy Pugh
4th - Gemma Keers & Imogen Bellfield
14th - Natasha Ewart Smith & Sara Ewart Smith
15th - Henry Heath & James Dickinson
17th - Tom Weston & Paddy Jefferies
19th - Emily Heath & Pippi Heath
30th - Celia Hansell & Ed Hansell

MIRROR WORLDS 2015 NEWS from South Africa
Posted 5th January 2015
Lots of information coming in from the Mirror Worlds - please click here to go to our dedicated page
Day 1
Monday saw all the British boats together in South Africa for the first time, following numerous safari drives and countless incidents of severe sunburn. The day began by unpacking the container in which our boats had been shipped from the UK. A warm South African welcome and registration as well as measurement and rigging followed. Time went by and we eventually launched, all of us inspired by Alex's briefing. In the midday heat, the Wilsons set the hydration bar high with their cool box of frozen water – a top tip in the thirty-degree heat. The afternoon practice race showed the ability of the fleet and gave us all the opportunity to acclimatise to the vast expanse of Theeswaters and the southeasterly wind, which blew at a constant 20 knots. The British fleet was relatively successful with four boats in the top six and Eleanor Keers winning the training race – hopefully a good omen for the weeks ahead. It all feels a very long way from a snowy UK.
RS200 New Years Racing 2014:
So 2014 has come to an end and what a great way to end it with 12 boats in 15 knots.
RO Roger Yeoman managed to get us 4 20min races and back in time for the New Years party at the club.
There was lots of close racing on the short windward leeward courses. Arthur Henderson & Lisa McDanell started strongly with George Yeoman & Sophie Ormsby in race 1 breaking away from the rest of the pack with George & Sophie eventually taking the win.
Current national champ Ian Martin sailing with Lucy Preston managed to rob Will & Mary Henderson of the win in the 2nd race on the finish line (after they turned up, apparently Lucy's time keeping isn't all it is made out to be) with a smart tack to the biased end.
However, George & Sophie managed to get off the line and stay clean to win the remaining races.
The racing was then followed up with the Itchenor New Years party which will always remain in the memories that can never quite be recalled.....but it was really good!
Winter Warmer 1:
Day 1 of the winter warmer threw 20 knots and a little drizzle at the 8 boats that made it to the race course.
Race 1 saw 3 recalls before finally getting away. George Yeoman & Sophie Ormsby led Mark Powell & Charlotte Lawrence round mark one but after a close downwind Tim Saxton & Holly Scott had managed to take the lead from Robert Gullan & Rosie Sibthorp. Up the next beat George & Sophie made up the lost ground to lead at the top and hold on till the finish ahead of Ed FitzGerald & Lisa McDanell.
Race 2 had George & Sophie leading at the top again followed by Rob & Rosie and these 2 were attached by a piece of elastic all race closely followed by Jack Holden & Amy Yeoman. The race finished in that order.
Race 3 and Tim & Holly smashed the starboard end and led from George & Sophie who subsequently fell in on the bear away. The wind picked up to gusting nearly 30 knots as Rob & Rosie hunted down Tim & Holly, managing to cross them on the downwind only to have to give room at the mark. Jack & Amy sailed consistently to their third 3rd place.
Overnight George & Sophie lead from Rob & Rosie and Jack & Amy on equal points in second.
Day 2 arrived with 5 knots and a fast flowing tide that made things interesting for the race officer.
Race 4 saw pretty much the whole fleet arrive at the same point at the windward mark with Charlie Roome & Eddie Glennie managing to squeeze round and sail into a decent lead. They were followed by George & Sophie all the way round the course till the last leg where Rob & Rosie managed to come "screaming" in on the port lay (there wasn't much wind but they made a lot of ground) to secure second followed by the ever consistant Jack & Amy who recorded their fourth consecutive 3rd place.
Race 5 saw Rob & Rosie and Tim & Holly escape for another epic battle around the race course with Rob & Rosie leading most of the way but with Tim & Holly right on their heels. At the top mark for the last time Tim & Holly managed to squeeze past and hold on for their second win that could prove decisive if they are able to beat both George & Sophie by one place and Rob & Rosie by two.
At the start of race 6 Rob & Rosie were over the line and had to go back which in the huge tide would appear to be game over. Tim & Holly had a great start with Frances Peters & Claire Lasko in the middle of the line, whilst George & Sophie managed to win the ship end and tack out the tide first. However a big lift allowed Frances & Claire and Tim & Holly to get round the marks in 1 & 2. George & Sophie split down the run to pull back past Tim & Holly, but on the next beat the positions were reversed and held to the finish. Frances & Claire won by a margin, Rob & Rosie meanwhile had managed to fight all the way back to 4th.
This meant that it is first blood on count back to Tim & Holly over Rob & Rosie at the end of the first weekend of the Winter Warmer at Itchenor on 12 points, George & Sophie settle for 3rd with 14 points.
Thanks to the RC: Roger Yeoman. Phil McDanell, John Tremlett & Tom Trevelyn
The next weekend will be the 7/8 February and racing will start at 1100. See you then!

"On the 11th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me" ....... not 11 Pipers Piping but 11 Mirror dinghies in a container to Cape Town, South Africa!
The GBR team are leaving UK and are on their way for Christmas and New Year in the southern hemisphere for the 2015 Mirror Worlds at Theewater SC at Villiersdorp, in the Stellenbosch wine growing in Western Cape. A great venue for the parents! The main competition will come from Michaela and Ryan Robinson, the current World Champions, on their home waters with a really enthusiastic crop of young Mirror sailors from South Africa, as well as some very experienced Australians who will be a force to be reckoned with.
The bulk of the GBR team are from last year's RYA Mirror National Junior Squad and are looking get GBR back on the Worlds trophy for the first time since Andy and Tom Smith in 2009 at Pwllheli and Anna Mackenzie and Holly Scott in 2007 in Port Elizabeth. Some of the GBR sailors have already stepped up to the 420. Gemma Keers, teamed up with Mirror crew Imogen Bellfield, is crewing for Isabel Davies in the RYA 420 Youth Squad and Paddy Jeffries is in the 420 Transition Squad - continuing the successful transition of Mirror sailors into the 420 class. The GBR team mainly hales from the stalwart Mirror fleets at Itchenor and Restronguet; with Torpoint Mosquito making up the Cornish contingent.
The conditions at Theewater SC can vary from the strong SE'ly 'Cape Doctor' wind, which will provide challenging conditions, to typical thermal and shifty light inland winds. Recent squad training sessions at Carsington and Northampton have helped the south coast sea sailors with their 'pond sailing' techniques but will not have prepared the sailors for the renowned dive bombing Pelicans!
The pre-Worlds will be the Mirror African Championships 29 Dec - 2 Jan and the World Championships 4 - 9 Jan.
ITCHENOR GIRLS STAY ON TOP IN THE 420s
Posted 3rd December 2014
Congratulations to ISC youth sailors Gemma Keers and Isabel Davies who have qualified for the RYA youth Squad. Over a series of 14 races the girls finished 3rd overall in the country and 2nd all girl boats. With over 50 of the top boats in the UK competing the girls have sailed incredibly well and are the youngest pairing the youth squad. They will now train over the winter with the next regatta in December in Palamos Spain. Good luck to the girls.

After extremely challenging and very close light wind racing at both the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and then Northampton Sailing Club, the RYA confirmed their selection for the National Junior Mirror Squad for 2014/15 with invitations for 12 boats of which we are proud to say include a significant number of Itchenor sailors.
This years squad is made up of Imogen Bellfield, Sarah Ewart Smith, Charlotte Fisher, Bertie Fisher, Monty Heath, Felix Jefferies, Pippa Jones, Elleanor Keers and Izzy Pugh from Itchenor. They started off the seasons training with a half term camp at Carsington Water in Derbyshire where they were coached by Katie Tomsett, Team GBR 470 sailor, who primed them on boat and sailor preparation for championship racing as a number of the squad prepare for the Mirror World Championships in South Africa over the Christmas break.
The NJS is just one of three significant winter training programmes undertaken by the Mirror fleet at Itchenor with the South Zone and X Gen about to kick off their training programmes too. This all bodes well for continuing a thriving Mirror fleet in 2015 and growing our own high performance sailors of the future. More to come on these programmes over the coming weeks.
Posted 19th November 2014
SC member Arthur Fry recently won the prestigious Trofeo Cuitat de Vigo in his Optimist. This is one of 4 high ranking events held in Spain each winter, for Optimists, Lasers and 420s. These events are attended by the top sailors from across Europe, as they offer more or less guaranteed wind and warmer temperatures and give sailors who are aiming for their countries' Euros and Worlds teams a chance to benchmark themselves against each other as the Winter progresses. This was the first event of the 4 for 2014/15; Arthur is off to Palma, Majorca for the 2nd event in early December and then to Torrevieja in January and Palamos in February.
Arthur and his two brothers have been ISC members mainly sailing Mirrors. Over the years, Arthur has stood in as helm and crew for various members of the Taylor family at Itchenor Fortnight, one year managing to sail in Mirrors 1, 2 and 3. In 2012 he won Mirrors 2 with James Taylor. However, his main boat has always been the Optimist, which he started to sail at the age of 7. He started competing nationally at the age of 11, making his way into the RYA Optimist National Squad for the past two years.
He has had a busy year on the international and national circuit. At Easter he was selected as a member of a GB team to attend the Braassememeer Easter Regatta in Holland, an invitation only event for top European sailors, where he came 18th our of 210 sailors. In July he was a member of an 8 strong GB team at the French Nationals, where he came 13th out of 200+ boats in a very strong international fleet. As well as representing GB, Arthur has competed at a number of other European events, including the Topsport Regatta in Flanders (15th out of 110 European and US sailors), the Swiss Nationals (22nd out of 200, with many Worlds Team sailors tuning up for the Worlds a month or so later) and the Belgian Nationals, where he gained the bronze medal and sailed the event for Bart's Bash. His next big international adventure (after Palma) is the Australian Nationals being held in Freemantle, Western Australia in January 2015.
Back home he won the Warsash and Bosham Optimist Opens, was 2nd at the Chichester Optimist Open and 3rd at the Hayling Island Optimist Open, giving him the overall RYA Southern Traveller's Championship for 2014.
Competing at this level requires a considerable amount of training and, in addition to the National Squad training, Arthur is out on the water most weekends with a small group of Optimist sailors, sailing out of Itchenor or Lymington, and also at Weymouth when the schedule allows. His coach is a Belgian ex-worlds Laser & 420 champion who now specialises in Optimist coaching. Last Winter he also attended 3 racing camps in Lanzarote with one of the world's top Optimist coaches from Argentina and in May this year he was one of 8 National Squad sailors to be selected to attend invitational training with the US National Team in Annapolis, where he was coached by US and other world class coaches.
Next year will be his last in Optimist and he hopes to make either the Worlds or European teams at the Selections event in May. After that he plans to move onto the Laser 4.7.

We'd like to trial a 'booking' form for the Bridge evenings this winter. The idea is to give the Club some idea of who is going to be playing on each of the evenings - and also to let the players know who is likely to turn up.
Bridge evenings are 14th November, 12th December, 9th January, 13th February and 13th March.
Payments will still be on the night (£14.50) at the Buttery.

SWALLOW INVITATIONAL RACE IMAGES and event roundup
Please click here to go to our gallery page
The Itchenor Swallow Fleet held a wonderfully exciting Guest day last Sunday October 19 th. 14 Swallows took part with a regular crew or minder on each boat plus 17 guests to enjoy a taster of fast keelboat racing in champagne sailing conditions.
The sun was out, the temperature warm and the wind was in no short supply. Gusts of up to 27 knots were recorded on the Cambermet weather beacon whilst racing was taking place that morning.
Swallows were to be seen apparently "flying" around the harbour with so much spray everywhere that it was hard to see where one was going... Everyone experienced a few hairy moments whether trailing spinnakers as sea anchors or trying to prevent the inevitable nose dive from one wave into the next...and all this fun and excitement between Itchenor and East Head !
Many of the guests were experienced dinghy sailors who we hope will soon take the plunge into these fast and responsive racing keelboats. Some of the guests were in their 20 s, others older with some keelboat experience already. It was wonderful to give them all such an exciting morning - a taster of things to come...
The fleet has second hand boats available for sale right now as well as charter opportunities. Alternatively come and join an existing syndicate as a number of boats are shared between 3 to 6 owners who share the running costs. Alternatively order your own brand new Swallow!
If you would like to come and sail a Swallow either as a helm or a crew ...Contact Christine Graves on email@example.com
For information on buying or chartering a Swallow or to join an existing syndicate contact Mike Wigmore, class captain by email on email@example.com

ISC welcomes HRH Duke of Kent
Posted 4th October 2014

HRH the Duke of Kent paid ISC a visit on Friday as part of his presence at the Harbour Conservancy's 50th anniversary. Arriving from London by car, he was soon out on Solar Heritage and enjoyed a trip down to Pilsey Island in the glorious sunshine. Returning to our main pontoon he and his party, which included Susan Pyper, Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, and the Chairmen of several harbour bodies, all made their way up to the lawn, where he signed the visitors book.
Nick and Ann-Marie had excelled themselves with a wonderful sea food buffet. There was much talk of the Harbour, the Club and of Royal duties. Though not a sailor the Duke is President of the RNLI. He heads the All England Tennis Club, the War Graves Commission, The Royal Institution and many other organisations. After a great lunch the party left for Midhurst where he was to inspect the new offices of the South Downs National Park.
We are honoured and delighted to have been able to host him and his party and our thanks go to Richard Craven of the Conservancy for inviting us to do so.

Our esteemed PRO for the weekend (David Priscott) and his very distinguished team (Bill Barnes) accompanied by their very/more experienced better halves had a relatively easy decision to make for us all on an overcast Saturday morning – back to bed. Not for long though as there was hope of a whisper at 1pm and with biblical foresight, so it came to pass. Well sort of, we set out for two b2b races on the top of the tide but needed to be towed down harbour and remained umbilically attached to BV for a while thereafter pending the SW 'breeze' eventually reaching us.

57 boats competed in the 420 nationals last week at Hayling Island Sailing Club. Conditions varied from too little wind to race on one day to 2 days which were blown off. 6 races were achieved over 2 days. Gusts of up to 28 knots led to big waves in wind over tide in Hayling Bay, keeping the safety fleet and parental support boats well occupied. Despite attempts by the race committee to use the U flag to keep the fleet behind the start line, they very soon had to return to using the black flag.
Great performances from Itchenor sailors Joanna Kalderon and Midge Watkins (8th and Junior Champions), Isabel Davies and Gemma Keers (18th), Katie Davies and Grace Summers (26th), Lucy Mellors and Charlotte Boyle (32rd), Rory Odell and Celia Hansell (39th) and Max Odell and Millie Moss (who sadly had to count a black flag).
Next year the 420 nationals will be held in Restronguet in the last week of August.
Dated 24th August 2014
This week saw the RS200 Nationals at Hayling Island, pretty much the nearest thing we get to a local championship.
A strong Itchenor team revealed itself to the world with George Yeoman & Sophie Ormsby, Andy Shaw & Pippa Horne, Tim Saxton & Holly Scott, Rob Gullan & Rosie Sibthorp, the Davies twins ably assisted by the Spreckley boys, Will & Mary Henderson, Arthur Henderson & Lisa McDanell, Jack Yeoman & Oli Peacock, Hugh McLean & Emma Lombard, Nick Blevins & Susie Moore, Ben Ainsworth & Grace Summers, Will Moss & Joanne Thomas, Gavin Orde & Matt Phipps-Taylor and Hugo Moss & Grace Yeoman.

MIRROR Nationals 2014 REPORT
Posted 18th August 2014
Brixham, both an ancient fishing port and still a working fishing port today, is host to the 2014 Mirror Nationals and European championships.
Itchenor descended in force to test themselves against Mirrors from all over the country and in the notoriously shifty wind conditions of Tor Bay.
The sailing has indeed proved exceedingly testing with all breezes coming from the land and the pond sailors certainly showing that they are far superior to the sea sailors when it comes to spotting and capitalising on the shifts.
All said and done, we finished the Mirror Nationals with Itchenor picking up the team shield with very creditable performances from Gemma Keers and Imogen Bellfield in 7th, Eleanor Keers and Issy Pugh in 10th and Natasha and Sarah Ewart Smith in 13th.
Our sailors are learning lots and it is all to sail for in the Mirror Europeans starting Monday.

Whilst Saturday was a blow out with gusts of nearly 40 knots and a tide that came well over the jetty, Sunday proved to be a perfect 12-16 knots with a strong tide. RO Roger Yeoman managed to fit in 4 back to back 20 minute races in a corner by Rookwood.
In the 1st race it was slightly pin end bias and Ben Palmer & Lucy Preston went off winning that end however it was not enough to get across the midline starters and it was George Yeoman & Sophie Ormsby who led at the top mark followed by Ben & Lucy. By lap 3 Tim Saxton & Holly Scott had managed to pull through to 2nd place and Ben & Lucy finished 3rd.
Boom cam video from race 1:
Race 2 again was slightly pin end bias and this time George & Sophie who won the pin however could not quite get across the starboard tackers again. So it was Ben & Lucy at the top mark 1st but George & Sophie just managed to squeeze inside to block the tack, however ended up hitting the mark after misjudging the tide. This meant Ben & Lucy led from James Rusden & Will Rusden, followed by Tim & Holly. On the run the Rusdens managed to speeze past Ben & Lucy to take the lead which they extended till the finish.
Boom cam video from race 2:
Race 3 was starboard end bias and George & Sophie managed to come in late and squeeze out Nick Charles at the boat end. After a bit of a tacking dual up the beat it was George & Sophie followed by Nick and this stayed the way the whole way round the course with a bit of elastic keeping them together. While a close race between the Rusdens, Tim & Holly and Ben & Lucy rounded off the top 5.
Boom cam video from race 3:
Race 4 was a fairly square line with Tim & Holly winning the pin and George & Sophie winning the boat end. Tim & Holly decided to tack early and duck the Rusdens and George & Sophie and this ended paying off as they came in on the starboard lay line to lead at the top mark. A tacking match up the next few beats led to Tim & Holly held on to their lead whilst being closely followed by George & Sophie. The Rusdens finished 3rd.
Boom cam video from race 4:
The final over all placings were:
George & Sophie 1, 5, 1, 2 = 9
Tim & Holly 2, 3, 4, 1 = 10
James & Will 5, 1, 3, 3 = 12
Next weekend is the 1/2 March hopefully we will see you all then!

This article is courtesy of the Chichester Harbour Conservancy - and we think will be of interest to many members.
"As part of our Coastal Management strategy, we have agreed the first steps which will be carried out to reduce the risk of a breach of the delicate part of the sand spit known as The Hinge at East Head.
The work is planned to start in January 2014 (weather permitting) and will be carried out under the aegis of the East Head Coastal Issues Advisory Group (EHCIAG). EHCIAG was set up to manage the Adaptive Management process at East Head and includes a range of organisations, stakeholders and experts in coastal environmental management that are listed below.
Our overall strategy is called "Adaptive Management" which involves taking steps to achieve equilibrium between the sea and the land with a workable strategy to avoid a breach at The Hinge, and to maintain public access to East Head.
The work will be carried out by engineers from Chichester District Council and will consist of:
1. Removing failed gabions (the wire baskets holding the stones) with the stones being left naturally on the beach at the western end.
2. Adjusting the height of some of the groynes (the horizontal planks going out to sea), and replace and repair some others to enhance the collection or movement of sand and shingle.
This is to allow a natural process to occur which will include some erosion and some natural rebuilding of material at this area. As the beach area moves back, it is envisaged that a more natural beach shape will form providing a better profile for long term protection of the immediate area.
Planning consent is also being sought to allow recharges with sand and shingle at The Hinge from time to time to keep a safe width and height at the critical point. The area is monitored regularly and EHCIAG works closely together to ensure that the area is actively managed. "
With 6 Itchenor boats selected for the RYA National Squad and another 6 selected for the South Area Development Squad, time to focus on our pipeline or next generation squad. 9 Itchenor mirrors assembled at 9.00am on Saturday 23rd November for the first weekend in a 10 day race training programme designed to bring our younger mirror sailors up from sailors who can competently sail around a course to sailors who can race around a course. In near perfect training conditions, coaches Charlotte Fitzgerald and Charlie Warren, supported by Emily Heath and Gemma Webb focussed on boat handling skills, including tacking, gybing and spinnaker handling. A testament to the success of the weekend were the happy, smiling children despite the cold, a few capsizes and a couple of attempts to use the yet to be completed new slipway!

3 Good film ... mediocre offering ... poor value for moneyDrewStrat | 08/12/2008 | See all DrewStrat's reviews (3)The packaging misrepresents the screen ratio as 2.35:1 it isn't. It is 1.78:1On my 50" plasma, the picture is grainy, but the colours are vibrant and the image is appreciably sharper that the upscaled "Special Edition" DVDThe sound offers no particular improvement.There are no extras whatsoever. These could have been ported at no extra cost in standard definition.A good film, but this offering does not warrant the cost, especially if you already have the DVD; it represents poor value for money.
3 My reviewJackrabbitslim | 24/01/2009 | See all Jackrabbitslim's reviews (5)I was expecting a lot from the BR release of this great film. The picture quality was slightly better than the DVD version, but some parts are grainy and I think it needed a little bit of spit and polish to make it stand out. If you already own it on DVD then I would think twice about getting it on BR, there are other films out there on BR that have been transfered so much better than this.
3 Good film, poor transferdan3play | 27/09/2009 | See all dan3play's reviews (16)Don't get me wrong, this is a top notch movie but this "Blu" release is a let down. The lack of extras is seriously frustrating and the picture transfer is way behind in comparison to other Bluray's.The DVD version upscaled to 1080p will give this a serious run for its money - sad really considering its meant to be HD. That aside this is an Arnie classic with a high body count, lots of action and decent plot.
3 not worth the moneyFx2050 | 18/12/2011 | See all Fx2050's reviews (6)lack of improvement really. tiny bit brighter but nothing special. if you have dvd stick with it
5 Schwarzennegers best !!!Jetfire | 21/07/2008 | See all Jetfire's reviews (7)This is my favourite Schwarzenneger film of all. Absolutely brilliant, engaging storyline that wil leave you guessing to the end. Fantastic picture and sound quality in Blu ray. A must for your collections.

Wiley Rein's International Trade Practice, recognized by Chambers USA as one of the country's elite international trade practices, represents clients in domestic and international trade regulation matters, market access issues, and dispute resolution. We apply our legal expertise, government relations experience, and public relations insight in both U.S. and international fora. As one of the largest and most diverse practices in the country, we can tailor our client teams to best meet the specific needs of corporations and associations.
Named an "International Trade Group of the Year" for five consecutive years by Law360, our Team has significant experience with the many issues shaping industries' global competitive environment. Chambers USA notes that our Practice "offers an impressive depth of expertise in trade remedies and policy matters, particularly when it comes to acting for local companies and organizations as petitioners" (2012). Clients indicate that our attorneys "have specialist knowledge of the specific issues affecting our industry and clearly understand our product area" (Chambers 2014). We have a strong record of winning large and complex antidumping and countervailing duty cases on behalf of major U.S. industries, and are among a limited number of practices that regularly serve as principal counsel for major unfair trade investigations. Chambers reports that clients say the Team is "firing on all cylinders, and doing a lot of impressive, high-quality work," and that they "operated as a well-tuned engine, and brought us great results" (2012). The lawyers are "assertive and very responsive" (2013), and "have strong substance knowledge and are very good on case strategy" (2014). Other clients told The Legal 500 US that the Group's attorneys are "first-rate" and "proactive, realistic and responsive in providing judicious, sober advice" (2013). Wiley Rein is also a leader in the growing field of countervailing duty (subsidies) cases involving China, having authored three authoritative studies on the topic: "The China Syndrome," "Money for Metal," and "Raw Deal."
In addition to providing competitive access in a global marketplace, our attorneys help clients navigate the policies and regulations governing our international economy. Our industry-leading export controls attorneys routinely help U.S. businesses and foreign businesses with U.S. affiliates navigate the complex requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Additionally, Wiley Rein has one of the most experienced economic sanctions and anti-money-laundering practices in the nation and provides a full range of Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)-related services to leading companies and individuals across multiple industry sectors.

Rounding out Wiley Rein's leading International Trade Practice is our experience in international arbitration and dispute regulation. In recent years, more than 2,400 bilateral investment treaties, which typically provide that a host state to an investment will consent to arbitrate investment disputes with private investors from the other party in the treaty, have been negotiated. We are actively involved in this new legal arena and have experience both as counsel and arbitrator.

According to a photo industry writer I know, I do something that's a bit unusual: I freely admit that sometimes I'm too close to my own photographs to judge them objectively, and because of that, I ask for help.
Chuck Berry was right. "It goes to show you never can tell," he wrote, and sang, and that phrase is as appropriate a way to begin this column as any I can think of. I certainly never can tell which photo will please the client, fulfill the assignment, or sell well through my stock agencies; in other words, which one will succeed in the marketplace.
Years ago I took a photograph of prayer flags at a Buddhist monastery in Bhutan, and as I was shooting the image I wished I could also shoot video to record the movement of the flags and the sound they made as they danced in the wind.

I apologise if I'm too harsh at times-
Aiden- Prefer Aidan. Nms, but definitely the best (and original) of the -ayden trend.
Aeson (ace-in)- Ace in sounds like a poker term or something.
Axel- Reminds me of a car.
Andrew- Okay, bit boring now.
Angus- Reminds me of the cat from a book I read.
Ansel- Hansel and Gretel, not a fan.
Anthony- I know someone called Anthony! It's quite a nice name.
Aramis (air-uh-miss)- Love this, just reminds me of The Three Musketeers. But I'd say A (as in Apple)-ruh-miss.
Aras (air-us, or r-us)- Instinctively I'd say A (as in Apple)-russ, but if I heard the other pronunciations more, I could come round to them.
Artemas- Love this. Glad you used the Artemas spelling. I wouldn't use Artemis, as (despite Artemis Fowl), it's not only a girls name, but the name of a goddess. As far as I know Artemas/Artemus means gift of Artemis, so can be male (or female).
Asher- Not a fan, Ash hasn't got great connotations for me. I prefer Archer, or Archie.
Ashton- See above. Ashton actually sounds like a ton of ash.
Atticus- I have a friend whose name is said like Attica (but spelt differently), and I just can't bring myself around to liking Atticus.
So, my faves are:
ArasWholock | Historian | Biochemist | Single Pringle | Teenberry (16)
Hoping to be a mummy in the future. Dreaming of...
✦ Caspian Sherlock Walter, Phoenix Arthur Blaise, Ptolemy Alexander Remus, Horatio Albert Louis ✦
✦ Mister Men ✦
✦ Pandora, Georgiana, Lyra, Fae, Clara, Hermione, Alexandria, Evanthe, Persephone, Beatrix ✦
✦ Little Misses ✦

Aeson (ace-in): Don't like it sorry
Axel: I quite like Axel
Andrew: I like it. It's a nice classic with some great nickname options.
Angus: I like Angus.
Ansel: I don't like name Ansel. Not my taste.
Anthony: Anthony is an okay name.
Aramis (air-uh-miss) Don't like it. Not my taste
Aras (air-us, or r-us) Don't like it. Not my taste
Artemas Don't like it. Not my taste
Asher I love the name Asher.
Ashton: I love the name Ashton
Atticus I love the name Atticus. One my favourite character names.My top ten names for each gender always subject to chance

Aiden - Nice. Will probably end up being very dated in the next 10 years or so, though.
Aeson (ace-in) - Dislike
Axel - Handsome, but I don't like the Axl Rose association
Andrew - Not my favourite classic, but a good solid name
Angus - Very Scottish. Like a cartoon Scotsman name. Quite handsome, though.
Ansel - I've never heard this before, no opinion really. Ansel and Gretel jokes could get annoying.
Anthony - Very handsome, although I don't like the usual shortenings
Aramis (air-uh-miss) - Ever so slightly pretentious, but nice enough
Aras (air-us, or r-us) - Noooo! Sounds way too much like arse, especially as r-us. He'd have to stay away from the UK and Ireland.
Artemas - Wasn't Artemis a goddess? This looks like a misspelling of Artemis, so I think it's a slightly strange name for a boy?
Asher - OK
Ashton - I don't like surname names, but it's OK
Atticus - OK
In conclusion, I think we have pretty different styles! My favourite is probably Anthony, and least favourites Aeson and Artemas.Baby girl due May/June 2015Emil - Ingimar - Kjartan - Matthías - Óskar - Róbert

IT is no longer a support function, but a necessary driver defining and enabling the future of your organization.
The future is now. The CIO who doesn't adapt will be extinct. It's that simple.
See how some of our clients are more profitable because of innovations that sprang from all layers of HP.
We may well be on our way to the best of times for IT.
Every organization needs one core competence: innovation.
The impact of innovation around the globe then and now.
Today's workers typically own two or more devices, and they want to use applications on the platforms of their choice.
As the current top concern for most CIOs, data security moves even higher up on the critical list.
Rock-solid enterprise security is a requirement. But just how secure is secure?
Some say innovation is in the eye of the beholder. But sometimes you have to see it to dream it.
Static architecture of conventional networks is poorly suited to the dynamic computing needs of today's enterprise.
When it comes to success with Big Data, it's about the details.
Daily, hourly, minute by minute, clues to how people work, play, and live emerge through technology.
Three words come to mind when I think about the possibilities facing the enterprise: more with more.

Significance and Use
This test method is designed specifically for emulsions of pesticide emulsifiable concentrates.
This test method provides information on the absorption/adsorption of solvents by simulated organic soil and inorganic soil impacted by pesticide EC emulsion applications.
The amount of solvent lost by volatilization at 40ºC as determined by this method is an indirect measure of the atmospheric availability of the solvent to potentially react with nitrogen oxides to form tropospheric ozone, a major air pollutant.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method simulates the application of an emulsion of a pesticide emulsifiable concentrate (EC) to soil with high organic matter (corn cob granules) and to soil with high inorganic matter (clay granules) and determines the amount of solvent retained by the granules, and withheld from the atmosphere, before and after exposure to 40ºC in a vented oven. The granules simulate two extremes of soil composition, and the 40ºC exposure simulates high temperature weathering. Solvent loss from organic substrates other than corn cob may also be determined by repeating the 40°C exposure tests with the chosen substrate replacing corn cob. The results with corn cob, however, are a reference that must be reported with the alternate substrate results. The difference in solvent content of the granules before and after weathering is an indication of the emission of the solvent from soil impacted by emulsions or solutions during pesticide applications using common practices such as spraying and drip irrigating. Analysis of the granules for solvent content is by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), or other methods tested and proven to be accurate and reproducible.
Note 1—Since it evaluates soil surface sorption, this test method will underestimate soil sorption from pesticide applications made below the soil surface. Sub-soil surface treatments may include, but are not limited to, mechanical soil injection and soil incorporation applications. In these cases, the increased depth of the sub-soil treatments reduce the soil surface exposure and facilitate increased levels of soil sorption.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Man killed at Harrell's RacewaySubmitted by Guest (not verified) on Thu, 07/08/2010 - 3:21pm.
Well, the news about this tragedy has entered another phase. I was there at the track when the shooting happened. My girlfriend came to tell me that a man had pulled a gun and was flashy with it. As I proceeded to head back to my car parked right behind the concession stand when those shots rang out. I ushered my lady back behind a drag trailer, and told her to stay there. I began my walking up the track when a guys wife run past me to offer medical assistance (CPR) to the guy which was gunned down but to no avail the guy was DEAD. Shot in the head. I have been to Harrell's too many times over the past few years but nothing really happened like this. Fights,ok, so what? The thing I was most concerned with was the fact that there were many, many children around when it all went down. The guy which boldly displayed the weapon had no regard for a child, an adult, and much less himself. With that in mind, I hope & pray the dude that killed the other person is found, tried and convicted of such a heinous crime against another human being. I am thankful no one else was harmed but to make case & point. Get that, "DEVIL MAN" and make him pay with his life!!! »

It broke my heart and I am nearly certain some idiot probably slammed onto him and killed him. Would be nice to know you are not endangering wildlife. Poor thing

Recently I received a speeding ticket which could have resulted in 4 points, a hefty fine, and an increase from my insurance company. Initially, I was advised to plead not guilty so I immediately sent the ticket to the court with that plea. Then I received a date for a pre-trial conference. Since I had no idea what to expect at this hearing I realized I needed a lawyer. Mr. Villanueva made the process very easy. I filled out some forms and he took over. I had been driving for over 50 years and never before received a speeding ticket or points of any kind. That clean record was the key. Mr. Villanueva stressed that point and had the speeding ticket changed to a parking violation with no points and a $75 fine. I will keep my good driver rate with my insurance company and make sure I never again get a speeding ticket. I recommend Villanueva and Sanchala for excellent service and a terrific result.
I was travelling from New York to Niagara Falls to New York with of my family, on the way of my travelling unfortunately I got 2 tickets and one of this was speeding. We all were very disappointed. Then I started searching speeding ticket attorney from Google. I got many names and then I started reading the reviews about them. Finally I liked and selected Mr. Joseph P. Villanueva because he is the best among all of them and my selection was correct cause :
• He is very Professional and knowledgeable about my cases.
• He keep updating me all the time
• He dismissed my 2 cases.
• He is very responsible person.
He is my first recommendation for all of you guys, if you need to hire any attorney regarding traffic rules violations.
Initial consultation with Joe by phone quite fairly outlined what I can & should expect. Results were dead-on WITHOUT personally having to appear in court. Additionally, Joe was promptly responsive while keeping me informed. In a nutshell, two tickets dropped upon completion of approved 6 hour online defensive driving course. Bonus... insurance premium discount! 2nd bonus... NYS Trooper expended time and energy citing me and NYS never saw a dime out of it
Got a speeding ticket and two misdemeanors for driving with a suspended license. Joseph got the speeding ticket and the two misdemeanors dismissed replacing these with a non misdemeanor violation plea involving no points. I cannot thank him enough.
Attorney Joseph Villanueva did an excellent job of communicating with me and thoroughly assessing my case. He was reasonably priced, familiar with the local court and prepared me well for potential outcomes. I am most grateful that he was able to resolve my speeding ticket for a no point violation. I appreciate his competence and hard work.
I was faced with a ticket for 86MPH in a 40MPH zone. That means a $1000 Fine, 11 Points on my license and an automatic 30 day license suspension. Along with that, there would certainly have been a hike in my insurance. I called around and searched reviews online to find the best lawyer for the job. After speaking to Joe on the phone, my decision was easy. He was pragmatic, honest and intelligent. Further his fixed fee of $375 (as of August 2012) seemed very reasonable and fair for the quality of service he was going to provide. Throughout the next 6 months (the case took a while) Joe and his team made sure I was constantly updated on all of the court sessions and I never once felt like I wasn't being highly taken care off. As a client, I don't know how I could have been better served, they are absolutely top notch.
I'm sure most of you are most concerned with outcome of the ticket. The ticket became a 60MPH in a 40MPH zone. The $1000 fine was reduced to $235. The 11 points was reduced to 4. The only extra requirement was I take a defensive driving class (which will also help with insurance) which I could do online for a total cost of $30. So in sum: Joe (including his fee) saved me $360, 7 Points on my license, unknown insurance costs and a great deal of my personal time. He kept me updated and informed throughout this entire process and was extremely professional. If you are looking for an outstanding lawyer, Joe Villanueva is your guy.
I hardly had to anything. Joseph reduced my ticket from 6 points to 0 points. He did it extremly fast. I will def. rehire for future tickets.
I was stopped for speeding 79 on 65 and was facing 4 points. I was uncertain whether attorney can help me. Attorney also did not give me hope for the closing of the case with a better result than 2 points on my record. I thought "hey..better 2 than 4!" First I noticed that overall service is great. I was constantly updated by email on my case. Just now I received email from Joseph stating that my case is closed with the result of ZERO points and PARKING VIOLATION ticket of $150.. One word: AMAZING! If you are cosidering whether it is worthwile to hire an attorney let me help you: YES! I highly recommend you Joseph Villanueva. Thank you very much Joseph! Good luck!
In brief I have had to work with various firms on various forms of legal activities (Home, Will, Divorce et.). While this was a traffic matter, the experience has been the best of any of my legal engagements. Joseph was my representation. Simply stated, he set expectation, communicated effectively, consistently and timely on my going concern. The projected results were as asserted. I don't gush on service. However, it is my first experience in legal matters whereby I saw my hard earned dollars going in the right direction. Court Justice actions can be unpredictable; within this context, you will at the very least get excellent representation. I hope, but fully expect, you would have similar results in retaining Joseph Villanueva and his associates.
This attorney did a fantastic job representing me. He kept me informed at all times, and got me the best possible outcome.

I tired of my art being stolen. And now thanks to these selfish people I have to ruin my posts with water marks.
Okay I did not mean to make this into any kind of witch hunt.
The artist who stole from me apologized and are promising to try harder with their OWN STYLE and I am totally happy to hear that.
I would rather someone REF off my images then straight out copy them.
I support the development of artists, not short cuts.
Also, yes I DO consider my artwork being traced STOLEN ART.
As an artist you should know better.
I work hard on my work! I got carpel tunnel for drawing for 18 years!
Some people think that tracing artwork isn't theft but it is. Art theft its self is a short cut, tracing is a short cut, minor editing is a short cut.
Short cuts will not get you anywhere as an artist. As a kid I had the see through paper and I would trace Disney art books and manga all the time.
It seriously got me no where. But after eyeballing photo's, and how things are supposed to look, like legs, arms, fingers, toes, ears, paws shit like that. I seriously got better!
Practice makes you better guys, please. No more short cuts
And if you'd like to ref my work, please ask me.

Thread: New guy....

New guy....
Hi, my name is Jon Johnson hence the name JonJohn.... I'm from Oklahoma and I'm 17. I want to be a volunteer firefighter. I, however, have a few things that I'm afraid might get in the way. I will be going to college in about 1 1/2 years. I'm also 6'7 tall. Any input?
01-08-2000, 09:14 PM #2kfdffrabFirehouse.com Guest
Welcome Jon, These forums are a great place to get wonderful info. I believe you have to be 18 to join the Vol. FD. Depending on your dept's requirements it could take almost a year to get the training needed for a new recruit. If you are going to live home while in college you could do it, or maybe you could join the department near your college. Another suggestion might be to check your local FD to see if they have an explorer group. If so you could get started now and have a lot of your training before you are 18. Good luck in whatever you do. Happy New Millenium, Roger

hey, 79 inches ain't that tall. my volunteer dept. here in nebraska has a person that has 4 inches on you so height isn't a problem for membership. just be careful and check out things like seat adjustments in units you may drive because there may be some that you can't drive. you have a long life ahead of you and don't let 4 or 5 years of college deter you from firefighting afterwards. some small colleges have towns with volunteer departments and some colleges have there own departments and degree programs in the fire sciences. weigh all of your options carefully before making a decision but don't lose that dream while your making other things happen.
good luck and don't let the beast bite when you get your chance.

Hi John. Here at my station in Maryland you can be 16 to start training. As for being 6'7 that wouldn't be a problem. You'd be alot of help to someone like me who is only 5'4. Stay safe and have fun. Becoming a Fire Fighter is not only fun but is rewarding.

The Nocebo Effect on the Web: An Analysis of Fake Anti-Virus Distribution
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors present a study of Fake Anti-Virus attacks on the web. Fake AV software masquerades as a legitimate security product with the goal of deceiving victims into paying registration fees to seemingly remove malware from their computers. The analysis of 240 million web pages collected by Google's malware detection infrastructure over a 13 month period discovered over 11,000 domains involved in Fake AV distribution. The authors show that the Fake AV threat is rising in prevalence, both absolutely, and relative to other forms of web-based malware.
