Post subject: Traveling out of USA suggestions
I may be traveling to Europe in the spring. I am looking for suggestions how to make caching easiest there. Is it best to load pocket queries ahead of time? How do you limit the caches when you aren't sure where you will have time to search out a cache. My GPSr hold 10,000 caches but that isn't so much when you aren't sure where all you might be. What maps work best yet are economical or is it best not to be economical with the maps? I doubt I'll have much time for caching but hope to grab a few. I'm not sure when I will have those opportunities. I may remember wrong but it seems to me the last time I went to Austria I could fit all the caches of Austria on my GPSr that only held 500 caches. That GPSr would not even hold the caches of a larger city now.

I've been creating PQ's of areas I have been staying, and routes I am most likely will be taking. I filter them out as to cut down the numbers of caches I probably wouldn't seek anyway.
How many PQ's you run or load may also depend upon what you think you may be having for internet access while there. In my recent travels I pretty much know the areas I'll be, and have little time outside of work to be reloading, so I've just been pre-loading them into the gps and go with that. My fallback is having the laptop available in case I do want to create a new PQ and have the time and WiFi available to do so.
If you don't know the areas you will be in, that makes it tougher for sure. Maybe go with what is most likely area to be in and maybe create PQ's for those areas?
BTW, what general area are you going to?

When I was in Europe I increased my data plan and used C:geo to locate caches when and where I was interested.

At least one of the locations is where AerosmithPA has been according to his furthest east and furthest north stats. I'll be in Norway a week and in Finland a week. My daughter and travel partner is telling me that our luggage will be a backpack for each of us. No laptops. I'll have to get by with my tablet. Upping the data plan for the month might be something to check into. Without the computer I'll need to have everything loaded beforehand or manually load the coordinates. We will have lists compiled of places we want to go to, but we will be mostly traveling with an itinerary that will not be set in granite. In reality, it will be set in wet clay. I'm hoping I can get a cache or two in Sweden, too. I have c:geo but with the tablet guiding me to GZ it tends to be loosey-goosey; best used with a thorough hint. It is something I have considered. I can't update to the newest c:geo if that would be a benefit because it won't work on my aging tablet.

When I first got to Budapest last summer, I didn't yet have a data plan for my phone, but luckily enough in the city, there were enough free wifi hotspots that I could connect up, download cache data and Google map tiles and find nearby caches.
It probably won't work in the countryside, but you can probably cache via wifi in urban areas. I found my first few caches in Hungary just going from hotspot to hotspot until I could get a Hungarian data plan for my phone.
Once you have the cache and map data, you can go away from the hotspot and that stuff will stay resident on your device. It's not the most accurate but it works.

When we have traveled we usually have a pre-researched list of which caches we are going to target saved before we leave the house.
Usually the three methods we use to determine a list:
1. pull up the map on the website and look for any virtuals or earthcaches in the area figuring those would be likely places we would want to stop
2. put the hotel address in and search around there
3. do a wide area search and order by favorite points looking for any interesting caches/locations.
Between those three methods we narrow the list down and have those all preloaded. We will also print out any cache requiring questions to be answered so we have somewhere to write those down.

The GC app does allow you to download so you can do offline searching. I haven't really toyed with it enough to know more than that, however.

I use the free maps for Garmin from garmin.openstreetmap.nl on an Oregon. For database, I use the api in gsak and download several rectangular areas creating a large database. Then, I filter within 10km or so of the hotel in each major city and load with a macro to the garmin. In addition, I load POI's (another gsak macro) in case I am in an unplanned area. The gsak data for these caches are stored in GDAK, an app in my Android phone. The data ages a bit, disabled and archives, but is generally ok. Not having WAAS satellites reducing accuracy is challenging so the DNF rate goes up. I also miss any spoiler pics unless the Wi-Fi is active. Lots of free Wi-Fi places around except Hilton because they have some crazy 13euro a day charge agreement with a telecom company (must have seemed like a good idea at the time). Caching in other countries is a blast.

Thanks. Those are some good ideas. Something to look into more on a winter, stormy day. GDAK quit working on my Android for some reason. Could be it is too old. C:geo still works but I can't update it.

A couple of thoughts...
1. I might look at tools like maps.me or citymaps2go. They allow you to download maps to your device(s) while you're home, so that if you're out of coverage you still have maps. Can make a huge difference when traveling outside your home country. They won't have geocaches on them, but they can still be a life saver.
2. Turning international service onto your US domestic cell plan can be expensive compared to the alternatives. And, mistakes can be made. On my last trip to Europe I thought I had everything like app updates and backups turned off... turned out my daughter's iPhone was still backing up her photos to iCloud and the bandwidth charges were blistering, even after turning international roaming on. What I do now is either rent a portable battery wifi hotspot in-country, like from a rental car place. In Italy, they were $5 a day unlimited, and we pounded the heck out of it every day. Second, if you have an unlocked phone (carriers will usually unlock if you show them a plane ticket to verify your trip) you can buy/rent data SIMs in-country and save a ton of cash. Either of these could easily save you 200-300 bucks even compared to buying international buckets from your domestic carrier.
3. Definitely preload PQs into a device if you can. Even if local network access is plan A, it's great to have a "plan B" just in case.
4. I paid the $69 to get European maps for my car Nuvi and brought it with me. I already use GSAK to load caches into my Nuvi here in MN, so it was easy to run PQs from the cities I was visiting and load them in too, so even if I didn't have network, I still had info on caches that was just a few days old. And driving around with my own familiar Nuvi was way, way easier than using a car rental unit.
5. remember that pre-loading here has another side benefit... Some of my trips have been very short, and I don't want to spend even 15 minutes heads-down in front of a computer monkeying around with PQs when that 15 minutes is a meaningful percentage of my time remaining in-country. Preparation at home equates directly to better use of time abroad.

On both of our European trips, Switzerland and Moscow we didn't rely on any cellular at all. Honestly it was kind of nice to go back to the "stone age" of not having a phone bark at you every 20 seconds about something.
When we went to Moscow we picked up a little netbook that was super lightweight. We also loaded it with movies to entertain ourselves. That trip was a little easier because we could pretty much load all of Russia before we even left home. The netbok was nice to have with Wifi we could just log onto the main site and just double check that nothing had been archived or temp. disabled since we loaded them. We also had a cable with that we could load any new ones individually if need be.
I had picked up Garmin's City Navigator for specifically Moscow, it was a MicroSD card that was like 20 bucks. Best 20 bucks I spent to actually know where we were when we got off the subway. You just have to be careful not to do anything to that SD card or you are out of luck with that map.
If you do a lot of "realistic" filtering beforehand in terms of "we don't want to solve puzzles, or do 5/5 caches," or whatever your criteria are I would think you should be able to run PQ's and pre-load them before your trip. Research Wifi more than anything else. Our hotel in Moscow wanted the equivalent of 40 bucks a day for wifi. McDonalds gave it to you for free. Guess where we would stop with our netbook to check email and log caches? It wasn't our hotel lobby...

Longtime political mover Lucille Lagasse dies at 90
Lagasse, who was 90, was remembered for her ability to organize Republicans in the state's largest city in the 1970s and '80s. The skill landed her spots in the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and U.S. Sen. Louis Wyman.
"She worked hard, she cared about New Hampshire, she was a good Republican," said former Gov. John H. Sununu. He remembered how she organized a small coffee-fueled gathering of potential supporters when he ran for governor in 1982, something invaluable when one is a little-known politician.
"She knew a lot of people. Lucille was very helpful in convincing people to be supportive," Sununu said.
Lagasse's daughter, Paulette Weaver, said her mother was living at her Goffstown home at the time of her death. She attributed her mother's death to heart problems.
A widow for the past 35 years, Lagasse kept an active social life and sang and danced well into her 80s.
"During Friday night, she would wear out every old guy on the dance floor," said her son, Charles Lagasse.
When not doing politics or dancing, she raised a family of five children. She also advocated health and good eating, authoring a book - "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly" - that combined recipes with her homespun advice and lyrics from popular music of the post-war era, Charles Lagasse said.
Lagasse said his mother was also proud to work as an aircraft mechanic during World War II.
One of her greatest accomplishments, however, took place in 1973, when she and Roger Lawrence, a St. Anselm College biology professor, founded the American-Canadian Genealogical Society. Located on South Elm Street, the organization contains copious volumes of family, parish and historical records of French-Canadians, Acadian and Franco-American heritage.
Lagasse said it is the largest library of its kind in the world.
"She had that very organizational, leadership kind of character," Weaver said.
She said her mother's volunteer work with many charities allowed her to draw upon connections for political campaigns. Legasse was also a member of an advisory board that worked with William Loeb, the former publisher of the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News.
Lagasse represented Manchester in the New Hampshire House in the 1970s and ran in Republican primary contests for the U.S. House and Senate in the 1970s and 1980s.

Purchase large martini glasses and fill them halfway with water. Then set floating tea light candles onto the water and light them. The martini glass will pick up glints from the candle flame, and the display won't take up too much space on the table. You may choose to decorate the stem of the martini glass with a silk ribbon that matches any color theme from the festivities.
Martini Glass Centerpiece Ideas
With their angular shapes and tall, elegant stems, martini glasses make eye-catching table centerpieces. You can purchase martini glasses in all sizes, and using them in your dinner or wedding centerpieces will create visual variety among your place settings. There are many opportunities for getting creative when you use martini glasses in your centerpieces.
Place a piece of floral foam inside the martini glass and stick fresh or silk flowers into the foam, creating a mound of flowers that rise up from the glass. To hide the foam, you can cover it with cloth, or bury it in glass pebbles inside the martini glass. Experiment with different shapes: You can create a flattened mound of flowers or one that is very tall and spills out of the glass.
For a fun look, fill the martini glasses with colorful candy. Candy corn and candy pumpkins are ideal for Halloween, while red jelly beans and candy hearts are perfect for Valentine's Day. Accentuate the candy by winding ribbons around the stems and scattering small candies on the table around the base of the glass.
Fruit is colorful and can accentuate the color themes of your celebration. Bright yellow pineapple, red strawberries or orange mango chunks all add a tropical feeling to your gathering. Make sure that the martini glasses are clean and food-safe before you put peeled fruit into them. You may also choose to place whole fruit around the bases. Realistic-looking fake fruit is also available at craft stores and online.
Glass Pebbles
Glass pebbles come in a wide variety of colors. Choose colors that complement your gathering and fill the martini glasses with the pebbles. This creates a glimmering, shiny centerpiece that draws the eye. You can choose to stick with one color, or pile together several complementary colors.

"We used the same wraps to send out our save the dates and I just loved them! These are larger than those but so are the envelopes so I think it will be great. We got them in navy to match our suite and they are perfect!"
"Love the labels that I received! They are fun and the colors are really bright! It took less than a week to receive the labels which was fantastic."
"The personalization process was extremely easy and I was able to cater these to our needs. I picked the purple feathers. The printing is very vibrant. Definitely the prettiest and richest looking address labels I've ever used. I intend to purchase ones that match our invitations for our RSVP cards and Thank You cards in the future."
"They matched my invitation color without me even asking. WPDs gave me options on this 1. The original colors 2. The colors of my invitation. The crystal lined envelopes cannot be imprinted with a return address so these worked out perfectly and saved wetting the back of all those envelopes!"
"These address labels were a great addition to our wedding invitations. They came out better than I had imagined and were a great finishing touch."

Anechoic Measurements of Particle-Velocity Probes Compared to Pressure Gradient and Pressure Microphones
A number of anechoic measurements of Microflown™ particle velocity probes are compared to measurements of pressure-gradient and pressure microphones made under identical acoustical conditions at varying distances from a point source having a wide frequency range. Detailed measurements show specific response changes affected by the distance to the source, and focus on the importance of transducer calibration with respect to distance.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Elegant and fun
Twinkling Hearts Rectangle Invitations This invitation caught our eye because we'll have strings of lights just like those pictured as decorations at our venue. The invitation fits us perfectly - we wanted something that was both elegant and fun, and this card is definitely both! Our main wedding colors were not available but we chose the green option, which I think complements our wedding colors well. It's also a great deal - we wanted nice invitations but also did not want to bust the budget on invites. We took advantage of a Valentine's Day special and the total price was really reasonable. In fact, with the money we saved on invites, we can afford to come back and order our programs from this site. Originally we were thinking we'd have to make programs ourselves, but it's so nice to have one less thing on the to-do list! So thank you Magnet Street!
Beautiful Card
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations Definitely finding the perfect invitation for your wedding is difficult. And finding a website like Magnet definitely eases the stress. The moment I received my save the dates from Magnet I knew I had to get my invitation from them too. Very easy to work with. Quality of the paper and printing is fabulous. Extremely easy to match the colors of my wedding to the colors of the invitations.
Great invations and rsvp's
Twinkling Hearts Rectangle Invitations I am so thrilled with our invites, we actually had another design on another website all picked out and we wanted to just double check this site and it was so much easier to design and get the way we wanted it, so we just kept going and are so happy with our decision!
Amazing Invitations
Twinkling Hearts Foldover Pockets Our wedding invitations were exactly what we were hoping for. We were able to order one and review it and make the changes we wanted to make our invitations perfect. Delivery was prompt and the invitations were exactly what we were looking for!

The controversy erupted after a leaked email from FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke suggested Qatar had "bought" the rights, which he denied on Monday.
May 31, 2011 2:26 by p.deleon
Qataris reacted angrily to claims the country paid for its right to host the 2022 World Cup tournament, in stark contrast to the massive celebrations seen in Doha's streets after news of their winning bid last December.
The controversy erupted after a leaked email from FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke suggested Qatar had "bought" the rights, which he denied on Monday.
"I think there is some dirty politics in this. A few years ago, no one knew Qatar. Now after the win, the big countries like England and others are jealous," said Ali Al Badr, 50.
Qatar would be the first Arab country to host the world's largest soccer tournament, and the news of the victorious bid in December 2010 also triggered elation across the Arab world.
The tiny Gulf Arab state, massively wealthy thanks to copious natural gas reserves, will spend about $65 billion preparing for the tournament, according to estimates.
"If this is really true, why didn't we hear it before?" said Omar al-Emadi, 27. "This is about the West's perception of Qatar. They think we still ride camels."
Qatar will be the smallest host nation to stage the finals since Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930. The country plans to harness solar-powered technology to cool the match venues to about 27 Celsius to overcome crippling summer temperatures that can soar to above 50 degrees Celsius.
Valcke confirmed he had sent an email to vice-president Jack Warner in which he questioned Qatari Mohamed bin Hammam's decision to stand against Sepp Blatter in the FIFA presidential election, suggesting Qatar had paid for the rights. But Valcke denied suggesting it was bribery, instead saying the country used its financial muscle to lobby for support.
"They are saying this because they don't want us to have the World Cup," said 16 year-old Qatari Bader Al Otabi.
Qatar's bid committee on Monday also categorically denied any wrong-doing in connection with the winning bid.
Before the vote in December, Qatar's $4 billion bid for the tournament was dismissed by many as unrealistic given the country's conservative social mores and lack of soccer culture.
"The Emir is not corrupt like other Arab politicians," said another Qatari in his 20s. "He watched the whole process carefully."

This gorgeous, ivy-covered Georgian manor house overlooking manicured lawns and rolling hills is a real find. Lovely rooms, some of which have original 19th-century fireplaces, are bright and spacious. The restaurant serves excellent Modern British cuisine, with ingredients from the hotel's own gardens. Also on the grounds is a pool with a sunny terrace. If you prefer even more privacy, opt for the self-catering Dowager's Cottage. The Old Rectory is in Thorpe St. Andrew,
just 2 miles east of the town center (about a 10-minute taxi ride).

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
I'm a very eclectic girl. I am happy doing anything from playing nerdy board-games, to exploring the great outdoors, dominating at pub trivia, spending an entire day reading a good book, or maybe obsessing over my NFL fantasy team. I am looking for a guy who also has a wide variety of interests and wants someone to share them with. I have a weakness for nerds, musicians, tall fellas, and a man who can cook. That being said, I am always open to meeting people who don't fall into those categories. More than anything else, I am looking for someone that it is easy to be with. Obviously there are going to be challenges in life and relationships, but I think if you are in the right relationship the day-to-day stuff should be easy. That's how it is with your best friends, and that how I want it to be with my partner.

I have one cat now, and as soon as I have a yard, she will have to adjust to a dog joining the family.
Very Liberal
I'll take a dive bar or pub over a club any day. My favorite place to be is outside in the summer. Picnics, hikes, concerts, floating the river... I have to include all foreign destinations on this list. Travel is my longest running love affair.
Summer. Nature. Disneyland. The smell of clean laundry. Reading. Family. Friends. A trip to the theater/symphony/museum. Animals. Mountains. Travel. Spicy food. Anything with Joss Whedon and/or Steven Moffat. Live music. Red wine. Midnight movies.
I go through books too quickly to possibly keep this section updated. Instead, here are some of my favorite authors/series/books: Eat, Pray, Love. Song of Ice and Fire. David Sedaris. The Hunger Games trilogy. Harry Potter et seq. Warm Bodies.

Four months into his new job as UK managing director of Jaguar Land Rover, Jeremy Hicks - the former head of Audi in the UK - must be experiencing feelings of deja vu.
He has a premium brand which he wants to see grow, with sporty R performance models and a range of SUVs. This is Audi all over again.
The task of engineering that growth was made a little easier at the Geneva Motor Show with the introduction of the XF Sportbrake, a rival for the likes of the BMW 5 Series touring and Audi A6 Avant, and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept.
The Sportbrake will go into production later this year but an addition to the highly successful Evoque range is dependent on reaction, although the Convertible concept must rekindle memories of Hicks's time at Audi - the Q5 was initially shown as a drop-top design study before becoming an estate for production.
"The Sportbrake opens up 20% more of the market in its segment for us," said Hicks.
"The Evoque Convertible is at this stage purely to gauge reaction, but the UK has a very strong convertible market, so it does open up possibilities for us."
More progress will be possible when, rather than if, JLR opts to go into the compact premium segment, however.
"If we are going to grow we can't rely on the existing segments," he said. 'That size of car (Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class) gives is a great opportunity, and we are actively looking at it. It can open big doors for us.
"If you look at the four-cylinder diesel engines we have in the XF, they have doubled our market opportunities and made us much stronger in the corporate sales segment," Hicks went on.
"Now we know we need to be much more active in contract hire and leasing."

The Jaguar brand will be a very different beast in 2015 as it returns to the volume market with the arrival of the XE. The initial reception has been overwhelmingly positive and if desire is converted into orders, then this could rapidly propel Jaguar towards the market share achieved by its German rivals, who all comfortably sell in excess of 100,000 units a year, close to 10 times Jaguar's current annual registrations. The pace of change will continue through to 2016, when the first Jaguar SUV arrives.

Land Rover's latest move into the mainstream comes this year with the launch of the Discovery Sport, with prices expected to start from less then £30,000. This model will play a key role in driving renewed growth, which slowed to 2.8% last year after sales growth of nearly 50% since 2011, thanks mainly to the Range Rover Evoque, the brand's fastest selling model ever. Future model growth will be based around three key pillars of Range Rover, Discovery and Defender, with each family featuring a unique characteristic.

It is no surprise or co-incidence then that Landrover are now beginning to starve the UK market of cars - Mr.Hicks clearly learnt his lessons well while at Audi in this regard.
What else can explain why the UK LR dealer network have seen their allocations slashed. Orders placed in good faith and already in the pipeline have been put back by over two months. So a vehicle ordered in August 2012, expected for delivery in November 2012, will now not be made available until February 2013.
And that Mr.Joe Public (UK) is how this manufacturer treats you ... with disdain and contempt.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Fernand Leduc is a painter, printmaker, tapestry designer (1), art theoretician and educator. He is also a major figure in Canadian art: a senior leader of the Montreal art scene in the 1940's and 1950s; an associate of Alfred Pellan (2), Paul-Emile Borduas, Guido Molinari, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Gauvreau and most of the other mid 20th-century art legends of Quebec; and, in 2010, he is the oldest surviving (and still working) former member of the Automatistes* and signatory of the Refus Global*.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, which is currently his home, Leduc spent much of his life, since 1959, in France and Italy; living in Paris, Chartres and Casano (3).
His mediums are oil, gouache*, pastel, acrylic, casein*, collage*, colored pencil, pen and ink, graphite, serigraph* and mixed mediums. As an abstractionist his subjects are color, shape, and texture; the 'cerebral construction of paintings, order clarity and the effects of light on color' are his primary concern.
Quote: "It is most important to reach the highest level of intensity with the simplest means. I'm looking for the most intense colour so as to trigger the densest response and attain the strongest dynamism possible? Shape and colour must interact in such a way that both equally contribute to create a dynamic force." - Fernand Leduc,1965 Montreal Gazette interview (4). See "Chromatisme binaire: noir-rouge" in AskART Image Examples.
His styles have gone through distinct stages: Abstract Expressionism* and Abstract Surrealism* in the 1940's and 1950s; Hard Edge* and Geometric Abstraction* in the late 1950's and 1960's; and since 1970, Color Field* and Neo-Op Art works, which he calls Microchromies.
Quote: "I followed the voice of automatism* always seeking the unknown. From unknown to unknown I was brought to the abstract"--Fernand Leduc.
Quote: "?abstract as opposed to nonfigurative; nonfigurative being by definition related to figuration because it retains the essential laws of three-dimensional representation, suggesting depth and volume applied to an imaginary or interior landscape, while abstraction refers only to the structural laws of formal and coloured elements." --Fernand Leduc 1955 (5).
AskART has some very good illustrations of his early, and most famous, periods of work. Unfortunately, his 'Microchromie' paintings (1970 to the present) have a complexity of subtle superimposed color onto color that photographically appears to be only a solid color. Examples of them can be seen in the background of the photo of Leduc in his studio (see AskART biography page).
Quote - "My challenge since 1970: to paint light, and to capture its energy. The path is one of reduction inherent to all artistic production, a path that becomes narrower, clearer, and luminous and leads to islands of light." - Fernand Leduc (1993).
His formal art education includes studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Montreal from 1938 to 1943, and in Paris, on his first visit, with Jean Bazaine. Other stated influences are the works of Mark Rothko and Joseph Albers.
Leduc taught from 1944 to 1947 at the College of St. Denis and College Notre Dame, both in Montreal; from 1968 to 1970 at the University of Quebec, Montreal; and from 1970 to 1971 at Laval University, Quebec City .(6)
He was an original member of Les Automatistes*; and, a contributor to and signatory of the Refus Global*. He was also a member of the Contemporary Arts Society* (1945 - 1947); and a founder and the President of the Non Figurative Artists' Association of Montreal* (1956 - 1961). He is often referred to as member of Les Plasticiens*; however, though the NFAAM was joined by members of Les Plasticiens in 1956, and while Leduc's artistic style and philosophy aligns with theirs, he does not appear to have been a formal member of Les Plasticiens.
In addition to exhibiting with the above artist groups Leduc's works were also featured in many important Canadian exhibitions including "Les Sagittaires" (7) at the Dominion Gallery, Montreal (1943); Amherst Street, Montreal (1946)(8); "Les Automatistes" Galerie du Luxembourg, Paris (1947); "Espace 55" at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (1955); "Four Canadians" (with Leon Bellefleur, Claude Picher, Jean-Paul Lemieux) at the Art Gallery of Toronto (1957) (9); "Three Hundred Years of Canadian Art", National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (1967); "Panorama of Painting in Quebec, 1940 - 1955" at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art (1967)"; "Borduas and the Automatistes" at the Grand Palais, Paris (1971); "Three Generations of Quebec Painting" at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art (1976); "Modern Art in Quebec 1916 - 1946" at the National Gallery of Canada (1982); "Borduas and the Automatist Epic" at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art (1998)"; "The Place of Magic, Quebec in the 40s, 50s and 60s" at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art (2006); and in "Refus global: 60 Years Later" at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2008). His works were also exhibited in three Canadian Biennials at the National Gallery of Canada (1959, 1963, 1965) and at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts 1953 Spring Exhibition.
Recently, his paintings were included in the Varley Art Gallery (Unionville, Ontario) exhibition "The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal 1941 - 1960", showing at the Varley from October 23, 2009 to February 28, 2010 and at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, New York) in March 2010.
The public venues for his solo and retrospective exhibitions include the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art (1966,1971,1980); the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (tapestries), Kingston, Ontario (1975); the Centre for International Contemporary Art, Montreal (1985)(10); the Museum of Fine Arts, Chartres, France (1985); and the Museum of Quebec, Quebec City (1997, 2006). (11)
His works are avidly collected. They are also in numerous public collections. According to the Canadian Heritage Information Network* there are 158 Leduc works in museums across Canada. They include the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (Kingston, Ontario), the Art Gallery of Alberta (Edmonton), the Art Gallery of Hamilton (Ontario), the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Joliette Art Museum (Quebec), the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery (Concordia University, Montreal), the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (Halifax), the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum London (Ontario) and the National Gallery of Canada.
The Museum of Quebec (Quebec City), with 54 Leduc works, has the largest public collection.
His awards and honors include the Prix Louis-Philippe-H�bert* in 1978 (12), the Prix Paul-�mile Borduas* in 1988 and the Governor General's Award* in Visual and Media Arts in 2007 (13).

(3) Exact dates of residence vary by source and within sources they overlap. All agree (within a few months) that he lived in Paris from 1947 to 1953 and from 1959 to 1968. The biography provided by Winchester Galleries Victoria, B.C., Canada, the location of his most recent exhibition in December 2009, implies he lived, or at least worked, in Chartres, France from 1970 to 1984; in Casano, Italy, "at the frontier of Tuscany and Liguria", from 1978 to 2005; and in France, in general, from 1971 to 2006. http://www.winchestergalleriesltd.com/.

Welcome to the Pastoral Excellence Network!
Our mission is to create and foster a network of organizations committed to encouraging and supporting excellence in pastoral ministry. We seek to help churches and church-related organizations provide opportunities for pastors to find support and learning throughout their professional lives. We work with congregations and organizations to help new pastors get the best possible start in ministry. And we help congregations and organizations equip experienced pastors with practices that will sustain their vital ministry, particularly through peer learning groups.
We endeavor to sustain the momentum and amplify the impact which Lilly Endowment Inc. started more than ten years ago through the Transition into Ministry (TiM) and Sustaining Pastoral Excellence (SPE) programs. We seek to expand the body of wisdom about what constitutes pastoral excellence as we lean forward into a church whose future we cannot yet fully see or imagine.
We invite you to be part of building our Network:
• Learn more about the Pastoral Excellence Network.
• Explore this site for resources, networks, examples, and events.
• Watch a video on what's special about Sustaining Pastoral Excellence.
• Read our blog.
• Learn about Catalyst and Collaborative matching grants.
• Join us on Facebook and Twitter.
• Sign up for the e-newsletter.
By Robert A. Harris | An interim pastor colleague noticed that women wouldn't enter the pastor's study. Another friend discovered that even though the church board approved a proposal to have a healing service, nobody showed up. A number of members criticized the pastor for urging them to tithe. What's going on in those situations? What unspoken norms are behind these behaviors? How can you, especially as a new pastor, avoid stepping into minefields?
By Alex Creager and Rachel Vogado | On a cold, snowy November week, a group of Lutheran, Baptist, and Presbyterian pastoral residents and supervisors gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We gathered to learn from each other and to listen to the prophetic preaching and message of Dr. Allan Boesak, South African theologian and principal author of the Belhar Confession.
The Pastoral Excellence Network led 47 people in an information-packed, intensive introduction to clergy learning groups on October 28-29, 2014. Held at the scenic Retreat and Conference Center at Bon Secours outside of Baltimore, Peer power: Cultivating clergy communities of practice also included facilitator training.
The Pastoral Excellence Network is pleased to announce that Bethany Fellows has been awarded a $25,000 PEN Catalyst Grant to expand their work into widening, ecumenical circles.
Clergy peer groups have been growing in the United Church of Christ since the first Sustaining Pastoral Excellence grants were awarded in 2002. Beginning in the Massachusetts Conference, seeds have been planted first in neighboring New England conferences and then in other regions of the country.
This training is for both new and experienced clergy coaches who seek a grounding in the fundamental perspectives and practices of coaching and also want to develop their capacities to help clergy in the processes of change and resilience. This event will launch clergy coach communities of practice for those interested in on-going learning with other clergy coaches.
Led by Larry Peers, this retreat will help you prepare for the next stage of your life and ministry and help you work and plan effectively with your congregation in order for you to finish strong and end well.
