Hi Sea Shift, I noticed that this was your first post on the Eastman's forum.
I'm curious if you can tell me more about what you know? I'm aware of several members who have asked for votes on various "web sites" and forums. I've also read the story contest rules on more than one occasion, and there appears to be no restriction on someone asking for votes. The vast majority of votes that I'm aware of, that my wife's story received, were from people I've worked on developing a relationship with. I've referred dozens of people to become Huntin Fool members over the 15 years I've been a member. My family has provided Huntin Fool four exclusive stories and numerous pictures that have gone to print. Do you know anything about her story being "DQ'ed" or is that something you just suspect may have happened?

Pretty crappy first post if you ask me. Just my $.02.
" If the story submitted, a description of the story, or pictures associated with the story appear in another magazine, website, social media, and forum (excluding the Huntin' Fool Forum and wildlife conservation groups) we reserve the right to revoke your membership to Huntin' Fool, you will forfeit any prizes awarded, and your story will not be entered into the 2014 Story Contest"
I can kinda of understand why. They want exlusivity to the story. Kinda of like a news channel. Not to mention the votes recieved should be fairly recieved for each entrant not by how good of a social networker they are but by those that read the magazine. I think this is the goal of the contest. Don't get me wrong, I am not stupid, everyone will be pounding the pavement and asking friends to vote. But the rules I think were made to level the playing field imo.
It turns out that the current story contest is being led by a person that has also been soliciting votes on not only this web site but also Monster Mulies. That particular story has also been published in the Sept/Oct Eastmans Magazine.
With this information I don't think I will be entereing the contest with our 3 Family Bulls in WY.
So, I do not know anything specific, but when I saw your request and suprise to being second, thought this might be the reason. No inside knowlege.
A friend of mine had his son's Ibex story kicked out because he posted a picture on MM. He was informed of the DQ and the reason for it. I see now UH posted a picture of his wife and her Sheep. I hadn't seen that in others forums. I think that's a no-no but I would have also expected an explanation if that was the case.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
When I submitted the article to Huntin Fool in November last year I disclosed in writing that I had posted a photo on various forums including Eastman's. I even spoke to someone from Huntin Fool and they said that would not be an issue. The story was printed with that knowledge.
When I saw winner of the story contest last month, I called Huntin Fool and was simply told the winner had received a lot of votes right at the end of the contest. I've had a long term relationship with Garth and the Huntin Fool so had there been a disqualification, I'm pretty certain they would have said so. Like they told me, the other guy probably just got more votes at the end of the contest, and he deserves to win and we are happy for him.
I've been doing serious research on western limited entry hunts for 30 years. When I was in my late teens, my uncle spurred my interest in getting a grand slam during my lifetime. I knew the only way to make that happen was to draw a desert and bighorn sheep tag. That soon lead to interests in other out of state hunting opportunities.
When Huntin Fool was in it's very early days I met Garth at a trade show and had a long conversation with him about various limited entry hunting opportunities. I recall him saying something like "how in the world did you learn all of that". I told him it had been my hobby for many years. Early on I smelled the opportunity that applying for limited entry tags was the route to some great hunting opportunities in my lifetime. Many years ago, before the existence of Huntin Fool, I toyed with the idea of turning my hobby into a business, but I was involved in our own family business. I have always been supportive and happy for the Carter family and that they were able to turn what they enjoyed doing into one of the leading businesses in their field. That's the American dream.

UH, sounds like you and the Huntin Fool have a history and that was not the case for your wifes story. That is good I suppose. As for my knowledge, yes I have been looking into the submission of stories. Reason being I was recently successful in harvesting my first elk and it was a dandy. So I spoke with a few friends of mine about submitting. With a little research on line I have been able to find all this information. There is a current contest running. In it I noticed that the front runner is soliciting and posting for votes. Hopefully HF looks into that as well.
That being the case my initial enthusiasm for writing a story for any magazine in the hopes that the story itself will possibly win is starting to dwindle. Thats ok, I have memories that will last a life time of the successful hunt with my father (72) and my brother.
On the other hand, when it comes to a cover story I do have an example. I have an acquaintance that shot a monster Montana ram a few years ago. A magazine wanted to run it as the cover story, and since it would be the cover pic, they wanted no pics to be circulated.
Just a thought…..if you haven't had a story published before…..honestly evaluate the quality of your photos. An article needs exceptional field photos of both the animal and usually other photos from the hunt. Personally we usually spend about an hour photographing the animal taking a couple hundred photos in various positions, various angles, various lighting, just looking for that one gem. Some guys take a great trophy but the only photos they have are with the tongue hanging out, blood all over, poorly composed photos, bad exposure…etc. Without great pics it's hard to get published. Just a thought.
Sounds like you got a super trophy for your first elk. Congrats!

I just gotta say you have alot of class! Most people including myself would have got mad & defensive. I've always valued your opinion along with several others on this forum. I just gained alot more respect for you & how you responded to this post.

I'll take the 1/3 odds all day.
Since license prices and availability don't often go hand in hand what would you rather have?
A 1 in 3000 shot of drawing a tag for $20 ( with no refund given if not drawn)
Or a 1 in 3 chance of drawing a tag for $2000 (with a refund of 98% if not drawn).
Let's say your in an area with 20 tags.
I'll take the 1/3 odds all day.
I'd like to keep hunting a non-rich requirement in order to hunt.
But when residents can buy a sheep tag/once in a lifetime tag for $50 when a non-res has to front $2500 in order to apply, 1 hunter has to front alot of cash, whereas another, anyone in the world can afford.
certain tags, especially once ina lifetime tags should be the same price or at least way more than they currently charge most residents, the same as a non-res price makes sense to me.
if you're a res and can't afford a $300 once in a lifetime sheep tag, then you shouldn't be applying to hunt sheep in the first place.
I'm not talking about making your annual deer tag $300 btw, just once in a lifetime type tags.
Accept Credit Cards
Charge the full tag fee up front, refundable.
Small application/tag fee per tag $5-20, non-refundable.
Refunds within 1 month of application deadline.
I don't agree if you want to get treated like a resident, live in sheep country.
Are we talking about Co.
-NRA Life Member
The problem is for sheep you would probably have to get tag prices up over $10,000 before you'd start to see good draw odds. New Mexico already charges $3000 for sheep tags and they have no lack of interest.
If you are talking deer of elk, if the tag prices got up near $2000, I'd probably just buy a landowner tag.
X2.........That's a common bitch from NR and I say suck it up and move there if you don't like to pay the price.
I dont like either choice lol

Rollin' on the river
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Fiddlers, sternwheelers, pepperoni rolls, a wiener dog race, a liars contest, a chili cook-off and a typewriter on the Capitol lawn to write mash notes to West Virginia. Downtown Charleston erupted in state pride and festivities Saturday as FestivALL and the Mountain State's Sesquicentennial celebration teamed up to host events all over the city.
At the Capitol, food vendors sold barbecue sandwiches, lemonade, hot dogs and pepperoni rolls. Traditional dancers leapt and twirled on a stage in front of the Culture Center. A typewriter sat under a large magnolia tree for festival-goers to type up love notes to West Virginia.
There was a parade down Kanawha Boulevard and an exhibition of classic cars.
Volunteers handed out servings from the massive cake replica of the Capitol.
Sternwheelers gave free rides all day up and down the Kanawha River.
Throughout the Capitol grounds, visitors commented on how the Sesquicentennial has successfully helped people remember West Virginian history.
"It's about heritage and connecting to the past," Bill Ryczaj said.
Ed Clark said he hopes the Sesquicentennial has taught West Virginians even more about their history, adding that the people of the Mountain State should learn from the failures as well as the triumphs of their state.
"You cannot move forward without remembering where you came from," Clark said.
Clark sat on a curb with his wife, Joan, watching people pass the colorful booths that lined Kanawha Boulevard for the annual Smoke on the Water Chili Cook-off.
"We wanted to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate with West Virginians," Joan Clark said.
One popular tent boasted "Emancipation Chili" and a sign read, "It'll set your colon free."
Vendors wearing costumes hawked chili from vats they had tended all afternoon. Live music blared from a stage on the Capitol steps looking out toward the river.
The program at the Capitol included several events -- such as dancing and clogging competitions, music preformed on outdoor stages, and the liars contest -- usually held at the annual Vandalia Gathering in late May.
State officials had downsized Vandalia over the Memorial Day weekend and folded many of its events into the Sesquicentennial celebration, a decision that angered many people, several of whom were still upset Saturday.
Fewer artisans and crafters attended the Sesquicentennial celebration than have turned up at previous Vandalia celebrations. Only a few musicians gathered for impromptu bluegrass sessions on the lawn -- a hallmark of the Vandalia Gathering.
Kat Kiger described the artisans as deeply disappointed.
Her friend sells plants and flowers from a stand on the Capitol lawn at Vandalia every year. She turns a profit because Vandalia falls in May -- the time when gardeners buy plants to kick off growing season.
She expected that her sales might suffer Saturday, because fewer people buy plants in late June.
Many onlookers also voiced disappointment about the downsized Vandalia celebrations last month.
"They should have left Vandalia alone," Sally Adkins said.
State officials have assured vendors and musicians that Vandalia will revert to its usual schedule next year. However, many attendees on Saturday were not so optimistic.
Adkins said she has noticed that other events, once scaled back, rarely generate the same momentum and crowds.
However, festivalgoers hoped that that would not occur. They agree that celebrations like Vandalia and the Sesquicentennial are crucial to encourage West Virginia pride.
"We need to be proud of the traditions here in West Virginia," Cindy Keely said.
Across town Saturday, a less traditional party was going on.
Kanawha County's fastest dachshunds ruled the Stonewall Jackson Middle School lawn at the seventh annual West Side Wiener Dog Race.
The racetrack was modified to national wiener dog racing standards -- 30 feet long with six lanes -- and race director Libby Ballard, said this year's event was bigger than last year's.
The event added two new race categories, a past-champions division and an "I wanna be a wiener dog" division (which involves dachshund mixes). There also was a fetch competition, more food vendors and a BMX demonstration.
The event, sponsored by West Side Main Street and FestivALL, typically attracts 80 to 100 competing dogs.
Lisa Holstein of Cross Lanes has attended the event with her family since it began seven years ago.
"It's just a fun, family-oriented event," she said. "We'll come back again."
Holstein and her daughter, Grace, watched their dog, Charlie, win the Adult Division I for dogs between 1 and 5 years old.
Charlie is now eligible to go to the national wiener dog championships in Finley, Ohio, in the fall. No winner from the Charleston competition has ever gone to the nationals.
Charlie has an unofficial training regimen to get him ready for the race.
"He is just a very fast dog. The only entertainment he likes is running," Holstein said. "She [Grace] rides her bicycle and he runs beside her, that's how fast he likes to run."
Grace said they run and bike together, "whenever they can."
Brothers Carter and Cameron Kiss, both 11, of Kanawha City, entered their dog, Jazzy, in the race for the first time this year.
"We were just really happy when Jazzy crossed the finish line first and it was really close," Cameron said after one of the preliminary heats. "I was really excited and just so happy. I'm glad to spend this time with my dog."

text: So, I've read through all the other responses to seemingly related problems, but can't find the answer. I believe I may be SOL, but I really hope not. All of the blobs associated with my mail from the past 5 years were deleted. So, I've run zmblobchk, but they are still gone and not stored anywhere else. I can see the headers of my emails which is infuriating, but cannot access any. For whatever reason, it will not let me restore the account, either. I tried imapsync, but since the blobs were missing, it couldn't copy them (figured, but thought I'd try). Any advice or should I get what I can from my headers, mourn the loss, then get on with my life? Thanks so much for any advice.

Anybody else catch the Wyoming moose episode with the little yearling bull moose getting arrowed in the rump? I can hardly watch that program any more due to all the product placement ads but I had to check it out after hearing about some questionable shooting.
It's one thing to make a horrible shot but probably not a real good idea to brush it off as if everything is going as planed and probably not in the best interest of the program to show the mess up. I will at least give him credit for finishing the job luckily!

AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour - Evergreen, Douglas County, and Coos Bay SpeedwaysWritten by on February 10, 2014 We finish up Washington State and move on to Oregon
We'll be visiting three tracks in this installment of the 2013 AMSOIL sponsored Tour. Our final race in Washington is at one of the most successful tracks we've seen in a while, Evergreen Speedway. We then travel south to southeastern Oregon where our base camp KOA is located near Medford. From there we traveled to Douglas County Speedway for a Friday night show, then on to Coos Bay Speedway near the coast the next day.
Since we do have time to explore during our travels, I just wanted to say a little about this part of Oregon, just in case you might be thinking about coming here. It's a wonderful place if you like the wonder of nature. We were in easy driving distance of Crater Lake National Park, which we visited. It was wonderful and quite unique.
Besides observing how tracks are managed and what the class structure is, we look at the safety aspects of each track and for the participants
We also stayed on the coast at a KOA campground that is situated right next to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The actual dunes area is about 1.5 miles wide and a total of 40 miles long. The heights reach upwards of 100 feet high and anyone with a cheap permit can drive all over the area.
We rented a Razr off-road vehicle for the two of us to enjoy and later I rented a Honda 400EX to ride by myself too. We even lowered the air pressures in my Jeep Wrangler tires to 12 pounds and it did a great job of getting through the sugar sand dunes and down the beach, which is accessible from the park.
The Coos Bay itself is a salt water port, opening to the Pacific and the commercial fishing provides a lot of fresh sea food for those who like that, and we indulged ourselves. And it's relatively cheap from what we are used to in places where it must be shipped long distances.
And on our way back to Medford, we took a different northerly route that brought us alongside the Umpqua River, one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen. It's flanked on each side by steep mountain slopes and the water is incredibly clear.
Well, so much for my advertisement for southern Oregon, but I just wanted you to know that along the way over these four years, we have found, seen, and experienced parts of this country that are truly best kept secrets. If we can pass information along about some of these, it might help you, should you be in a position to enjoy them some day like we have.
Evergreen Speedway
This large half-mile track is NASCAR- sanctioned and sports a smaller quarter-mile track inside the larger one, as well as a figure-8 track that is very entertaining. Doug Hobbs is the promoter here at this fairgrounds facility in Monroe, Washington, and we were treated to a Sprint Car show that included fullsized Winged Sprints as well as the Non-Winged Midgets.
Both would provide ample excitement, as well as very fast speeds. I'm not sure if a half-mile asphalt track is right for these types of cars though. The speeds were upwards of 150 mph and my concern, concerns how well those frames could take an impact with a concrete wall at those speeds.
Fortunately, we saw widespread use of containment seats and head-and-neck restraints. And this is a subject that relates directly with our goals for this Tour. Besides observing how tracks are managed and what the class structure is, we look at the safety aspects of each track and for the participants.
The other factor with this track's length is the speeds related to gearing. A few teams showed up with too low a gear for the speeds that would be reached at the end of the straights and one blew a motor early in practice. And the setups would necessarily need to change to accommodate for the higher speeds and higher g-forces.
We noticed that on the faster Winged Sprint Cars, the wing angle was set lower and that made sense. Showing up at a track that is longer than you are used to does require a change to gearing, setup, and wing angle. The cars with the high wing angles were slowed by all of that drag and didn't do so well.
Before the races started, the track had all of the participants line up on the front straightaway so the fans could come down and see the cars and drivers up close and get autographs if wanted. I like this plan better than doing this after the races are over. Most times, families with kids need to get them home soon after the events are over. This way, the introductions take place while the kids are still awake.
Probably the most entertaining races were the figure-8 races where the cars criss-cross each other and need to time each pass precisely. You could definitely tell the veterans from the newer drivers. Horsepower is king in this type of racing and the winning car showed a lot of punch when needing to quickly accelerate through a small hole.
With Evergreen having special events like those we saw on our visit, it attracts new and different fans and families. The chances for those new attendees to return for a regular racing event is good and that is how you grow your audience.
Each racetrack we visit is unique in some respect. This one is fortunate to be located near a large metropolitan area. Monroe is less than 25 miles from downtown Seattle. So, the bedroom communities that extend northward from there are even closer. That closeness to population can make for a very profitable operation.
Douglas County Speedway
DCS is an asphalt track that is located in Roseburg, Oregon, just off the Interstate 5 highway at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. The track is 3/8-mile with moderate banking. And for our visit, we were welcomed by Vic Bridges and the Old Time Racers of Oregon who put on a wonderful luncheon for all of the racers and Karen and me.
The guys with OTRO even saved us a pit stall which we backed our Tour bus into, put our awning out to shade our neighbor racer, and generally had a front row seat to the action. Each of the OTRO cars has a sticker that said, "Welcome Circle Track Magazine." It made me realize that maybe some of these racers out there really do follow this Tour of ours.
What amazed me was how competitive the OTRO drivers were. And best of all, they all got along and enjoyed each other's company. Getting these older cars to handle and perform takes just as much attention as trying to get a Super Late Model or Sportsman car to go fast. It's still all about the balance.
There were a decent number of Late Models present, as well as four-cylinder classes, which can be very good competition and make for a good race. There were also a surprising number of spectators in the stands.
All of the races were great, there were few cautions and it ended at a decent hour, which was good for us because we had to be at Coos Bay Speedway the next day for some innovative dirt racing close to the Oregon Pacific coast. It was only 76 miles, but we needed to travel over one of those mountain roads that we have come to know and love. But that's a story for a future issue.
And so we said goodbye to Vic and friends, spent the night in the parking lot, and left not too early the next morning for the coast. We had changed our plans the week before to include a stay near the famous dunes, just north of Coos Bay. We're sure glad we did.
Coos Bay Speedway
Coos Bay is out in the sticks, nice and attractive sticks that is, but not too far from the town of the same name and North Bend. There are lots of loggers and fishermen around these parts and having a dirt track show just seems like home to these people.
Chuck Prather, Sr. runs the track here and at Southern Oregon Speedway, our last stop in Oregon before moving on to California. He has developed a unique plan where he owns and rents out Sprint Cars that race both here and at SOS. They compete for the Southern Oregon Sprint Car Tour points.
I wondered early on how well these renters would be able to handle a Sprint Car, it is after all a tricky business making one of these go fast and not look like a fool. But I soon found out that all of the cars were driven by experienced Sprint Car drivers, and not just wannabe's, and the racing was very good.
The other classes at this track include Hornets, Mini Outlaw, Street Stocks, Sportsman, and Late Models. The facility is diversified too. Chuck runs an NHRA dragstrip event that is situated between the grandstands and the dirt oval. This is a Saturday afternoon and Sunday event throughout the summer. And also on Sundays, there is a mud drags event out by the highway and away from the dragstrip.
The dirt track is 3/8-mile in length and medium banked. It is wide and has a concrete wall around the outside, but with the width, the wall usually does not come into play for the races. The night I was there, the Mini-Sprints were racing and it was fun to watch these very fast, winged cars negotiate the track while never lifting most of the time.
I would get to see more of the renter Sprint Cars later on at Southern Oregon and we'll tell all about that in the next installment next month. Meanwhile, we have the next week to explore southern Oregon where we will pan for gold, seek out old gold rush towns and hunt for unique restaurants. And at this point, we are just half way through the 2013 AMSOIL Great American CT Tour. There's a lot more to see and do, so stay tuned.

We are seeing more and more use of full containment seats in Sprint Cars. At this track, the speeds exceeded 150 mph down the straights and a driver could use all of the safety items available should something go wrong. Most of these drivers also used head-and-neck restraints.Our arrival at Douglas County Speedway was a surprise. A large sign welcomed us and it just got better as it went along. The Old Time Racers of Oregon treated us to a luncheon and we got to talk to and meet all of the racers.The OTRO had reserved a pit stall for our Tour bus and we backed it up and settled in for a great night of racing. The competition among the old cars was amazing. As I watched, I could see where as it is certainly true now, handling has always been an important part of running fast and consistent.The donut neck collar popular with karting and Quarter Midget racing is not adequate for bigger and faster tracks. It will not save you from a high g-force frontal impact with a concrete wall. I'm not sure what good it can do with stock car racing. It does restrict head movement laterally from minor impacts, but those don't really kill you do they.Yes, that is a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia racing in the four-cylinder class. It looked like a brand-new race car, but needs some help in the handling department. The crew did a great job with the construction and now it's time to work on the performance.The track at Coos Bay is wide and low banked with makes for great two and three wide racing. Behind these three cars is the dragstrip in front of the grandstands. Running multiple types of racing, such as circle track, drag racing, and mud drags helps to bring in additional revenue and keeps the facility busy.Chuck Prather, Sr., the promoter at Coos Bay rents out these Sprint Cars. All the driver needs to do is show up and drive. He provides eight cars, which are enough for a good Sprint Car show for the fans. And I learned that the drivers all had previous Sprint Car experience and did very well.The sportsman class were required to run asphalt slicks with 8-inch wide wheels. It seems like this wouldn't work, but it does. The slick tire gets a surprising amount of grip and it really helps to develop talent among these drivers. It's not so pretty when it's wet out there, but when it dries up, it's all go.

Isaac Newton
this wiki
Sir Isaac Newton was a noted Human scientist from Earth. In the 17th century, he invented calculus as well as Newtonian physics, which became the foundation of all physics that followed. Newton at one point held the Lucasian Chair of mathematics at Cambridge University. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
In his lifetime, Newton once encountered the man later known as Quinn. Quinn was sitting under the tree the day the apple fell on his head. As it happened, Quinn had jostled the tree when he got up to leave, just before the apple fell. As a result, a new era in Human science was born. (VOY: "Death Wish")
He was one of six Human astronomers honored with a monument located in front of the Griffith Observatory, the others being Hipparchus, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and William Herschel. (VOY: "Future's End")
It was later revealed by Q that if it wasn't for Quinn, then Newton would have died in a Liverpool debtor's prison as a suspect in several prostitute murders. (VOY: "Death Wish")
After hearing that Dixon Hill had struck Felix Leech, Cyrus Redblock referred to a "Newtonian truism", otherwise known as Newton's 3rd law of motion. Redblock told him that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction," moments before Redblock allowed Leech to strike Hill with the butt of his gun. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
In 2153, when the Enterprise NX-01 encountered spatial anomalies in the Delphic Expanse which locally changed the laws of physics, Chief Engineer Tucker asked himself, "Where is Isaac Newton, when you need him?" (ENT: "Anomaly")
When Arev asked Captain Jonathan Archer what is Kiri-kin-tha's first law of metaphysics, Archer responded that he only knew Newton's first law of motion but imagined they could be the same. (ENT: "The Forge")
In 2285, David Marcus believed that if Project Genesis had worked, his mother, Carol Marcus, would be remembered in the same breath as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Surak. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
In 2369, Lieutenant Commander Data created a holodeck version of Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in order to watch how three of the greatest Human scientists would interact during a game of poker. Data's observations were "most illuminating." He inadvertently offended Newton by telling him that the story of the apple falling on his head was generally believed to be apocryphal. (TNG: "Descent")
In 2372, on stardate 49301.2, Q plucked Newton from his own time to testify at Janeway's hearings about Quinn. Newton did not remember the visit. (VOY: "Death Wish")

Hello everyone.
I'm a complete novice to the art of map making who stumbled upon this site after making the somewhat foolhardy decision to help make a map for an online game I'm part of. I barely have words to express how helpful this place has been... partly through the wonderful tutorials and partly through the sheer inspiration I receive.
I've posted a WIP of the map I'm doing (although I believe it's still awaiting moderation) and would love any comments on it.
I'm looking forward to my time here

Goliad City Secretary Pam Long said she was notified Wednesday by Texas Rangers investigator Bradley Freeman that he had "found nothing criminal" and the Rangers "are no longer pursuing" the case.
When contacted Thursday by the Advance-Guard, Freeman cited Ranger policy of not divulging information on investigations. "There really isn't anything to tell you," Freeman said.
The Rangers' investigation was requested by District Attorney Michael Sheppard in September.
Long said the city was notified by Sheppard on Thursday morning that his office was going to conduct a "forensic investigation of all financial records."
Sheppard was unavailable for comment Thursday.

Stars & Stripes
In 2007 I was contacted by Robert Kastori, founder of Stars & Stripes Western Wear in Reutlingen, Germany. He had seen the work I had done, documenting cattle ranching on the west coast of California, a project I began in 2002 and he wanted to know if I'd be interested in shooting his next catalog. We've been working together every year since. Having long time relationships with ranchers in the area, provided us with unlimited options when it came to choosing locations. Models were secured from Los Angeles and my first assistant, who speaks fluent German, helped translate when communication became difficult. Although the days are long, this ranks as one of my favorite assignments.

Moszkito Sandals
This is a series of images for Moszkito Sandals, taken at The Sanctuary Resort, in Scottsdale, Arizona, 2007. Sting and Howard Stern were staying at the resort the day we were shooting. Ninety percent of our time was spent poolside. One of my more favorite shoots for sure.

Walking Company
For four years I was the chief photographer for the Walking Company. I shot thousands of images that were used in their catalogs, and on posters for their stores across America. Most were shot in my studio with a mixture of hard light, grids, spots, mirrors and shiny boards to accentuate the shiny surfaces of the leather.

Impo Shoes
In the summer of 1969, two brothers from a small island in Denmark saw their American dream realized when Impo International officially opened its doors for business. Today Impo International is a world-class footwear company which designs and produces women's dress sandals, shoes and boots for major retailers, independents and footwear companies internationally.
This a small sampling of the hundreds of images we've shot for their catalogs, website and advertising.

Rand's Hats
In the early west, one of the cowboy's most important pieces of equipment was his hat. It shaded his eyes from the sun, kept the rain off his neck and, in a pinch, served as a bucket for water and feed. It was an integral part of his existence, and he was seldom without it. It was the first thing he put on in the morning, and the last thing he took off at night. This shoot was for Rand's Custom Hats which are known for their quality products that combine the skills of the past with the concerns of today.
Shot on location at Reynolds Ranch in Santa Ynez, California.

Long John Fashion
This is a series of images for a Long John clothing catalog, back in the day when we all shot film. Taken on a Pentax 6x7 with Ilford HP black and white, then toned in the darkroom. Kim Herron, former Playmate, was one of my favorite models at the time. We worked together on numerous shoots in those days. Taken at The Music Academy of the West and an estate on the beach in Montecito, California.

Bum Equipment
This campaign for BUM Equipment, a sportswear company in LA, was shot with medium format black & white film on my Pentax 67. I loved that camera system. All the lenses were tack sharp. Fortunately, I was able to integrate them into Pentax's 40 megapixel medium format digital camera system when it became available.
On this shoot, we carried a briefcase around with fifty dollar bills and when we saw some one doing something interesting, we asked them if they would consent to being photographed in one of their garments. With modeling releases in place, these images ended up as giant posters on a few hundred bus shelters and bus sides around Los Angeles.

For the last few years in a row I've gotten a call from Alan Lee, who is a successful glass and silverware designer in New York, to photograph his latest line for his web catalog. Photographing glass and silver is a tricky proposition, which involves shooting multiple exposures with varied lighting, then blended together in Photoshop to get rid of unwanted reflections.

- Arts and Crafts I just love working with artists. They're quirky, creative and a joy to be around. Arts and crafts are among the first products I started photographing back in the eighties. Here's series of images showcasing the work of various artists and craftsmen I've had the pleasure of working with. 2013 Photography
The following series of images were commissioned by noted architects, Barry Bercus, Don Gragg, and prominent designer Tom Simmons.
Some were private assignments from a diverse group of home owners in the United States and Mexico.

Santa Barbara hosts three of the largest Medical Companies in the world, Inamed, Mentor and Allergan. I've worked for all three over the years, shooting everything from implants to lap bands.
All these images were shot in my studio, where I have access to varied surfaces and lighting tools. A certain amount of rigging takes place to get the products to reveal their best angle of view, which is later retouched out of the photo in post.
The last image of this series is of Tony Siragusa, former National Football League defensive tackle, who helped lead the Ravens to their first Super Bowl title. A Lap Band recipient, Tony displayed his remarkable weight loss as a result of the surgery. The Art Director and I flew to New Jersey, where we met up with Tony in a hotel, to make the photographs. He is one funny guy and next door neighbors to Danny DeVito.

Caromed is the leader in the compression garment industry. They produce garments that are designed to prevent swelling and bruising after surgery.

In 2002, I was contacted by Veeco Metrology, a nano technology company, to photograph the products that they developed.
The only caveat was that all the work had to take place in a level 3 clean room, which meant having to clean every piece of camera and lighting equipment I needed for the assignment, before entering the room.
As seen in the opening photograph, I was also required to wear clean room apparel, or a "bunny suit", to prevent contamination.
Working in tight quarters is always challenging and requires using wide angle lenses, while controlling distortion as much as possible.
In 2010 Veeco was sold to Bruker, a worldwide corporation, who I now work for. 2013 Photography
Portraits can be formal or informal depending on what they're needed for. Formal portraits are almost always shot in the studio, where control over the lighting is a must, while informal portraits, or environmental portraits, as they are referred to, are mostly shot on location and show more of the surroundings, whether it be inside or outside. This enables the photographer to tell more of a story about that person.
When shooting with auxiliary lights on location, my lighting set ups are similar to what I do in the studio, but working with natural light is less predictable. To be successful in controlling natural light takes a lot of skill, since you're basically dealing with one thermonuclear light source, ninety three million miles away and redirecting it where you want it. This is achieved by introducing scrims, gobos, reflectors, fill flats and supplemental flash or hot lights to get the desired effect. The results should look natural in the final photograph.
Here is a selection of my favorite environmental portraits, shot on location, indoors and out. 2013 Photography
Headshots differ from portraits in that they tend to be more formal and usually shot in a studio setting where I have complete control of the lighting. I try to get my subjects to let down their guard, and convey who they really are, which requires engaging in casual conversation until they feel comfortable. I usually have my camera on a tripod so I can maintain eye contact. Most of the time they are unaware that their photo's being taken, and before they know it, we're done.
With a career spanning four decades, I've taken headshots of countless luminaries, from all walks of life, including doctors, lawyers, bankers, builders, realtors, restaurateurs, chefs, wine makers,teachers, actors, athletes, models, musicians, celebrities, corporate executives, politicians and philanthropists.
My headshots are intelligently crafted with exceptional workmanship to bring out your personality and communicate your qualities to others. 2013 Photography

WINDER, Ga. (11Alive) -- Police from Pensacola, Fla., said Tuesday they were working with Winder Police to determine if the body of a man discovered encased in concrete was that of a former reporter for the Pensacola News Journal.
Winder Police discovered the body encased in a concrete slab in the backyard of a Winder home Monday afternoon. The body was found at a home in the 200 block of 6th Avenue after receiving a tip from Pensacola Police.
An autopsy performed on the body revealed that the person died from "blunt force trauma to the back of the head."
Authorities in Pensacola said Sean Dugas, 30, had not been heard from since August 27, when he spoke with a friend by telephone.
Pensacola Police said their investigation led them to contact Winder Police on Monday.
Investigators said Pensacola twins William and Christopher Cormier, 31, have been charged with concealing a death. The two men recently moved to the house in Winder with their father.
William Cormier is being held in the Jackson County Jail, while Christopher Cormier is in the Barrow County Jail. Police said additional charges may be forthcoming.
Pensacola police today explained the circumstances of Dugas' disappearance and their involvement in the case.
Alexander said Dugas' friend reported him missing Sept. 13, after repeatedly failing to find him after their missed lunch date.
When she went to Dugas' house to get him on Aug. 27, a man who lived there told the woman Dugas was scheduled to return at 3 p.m.
The woman left a note asking him to contact her, but he didn't. She continued trying unsuccessfully to contact Dugas over the next few days. When she returned to the house Sept. 7 to check on him, the house was empty except for a television.
The woman asked neighbors if they knew what had happened to him, Alexander said. Neighbors told her a U-haul truck was there on Sept. 3 and they saw at least one man removing items from the house.
Neighbors asked the man about Dugas, and the man said Dugas had been beaten and was going to live with him.
Meanwhile, the female friend continued trying to reach Dugas, and when she couldn't, she contacted police on Sept. 13. Alexander said Dugas' name was then entered into the National Crime Information Center's computer database as a missing/endangered person.
(The Pensacola News Journal contributed to this story.)

I hawe 5mm pionir Mres wetsuit can dis shorty be put on top of this when I am divig i Adriatisc see in colder months Best Regards !
Hello Alem, yes you could wear this over your current suit. You might need to order a larger size since you are going to be wearing this over your other suit. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
I am 6 foot, 155lbs tall, thin and lanky kind of guy. Very thin and long. Would a Mares Shorty 2mm sz S work and fit well for me? My waist size is approximately 31-32. I know the run slightly smaller too.
Hello Matthew, when you are sizing a wet suit. The two most important measurements are going to be the chest/bust, and waist. Height is a secondary measurements weight you throw out the window. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Buying for my husband. Hes a bit wider and a bit shorter than the ideals in the Mares sizing chart. Im thinking hell need a size 2XL, BUT hes about 57" tall. Your recommendation?
The waist and chest are the most important measurements for the fit with a wetsuit. Height usually will work even if it is one to two inches short or tall. Weight will depend on the divers body build and is the last measurement to consider. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it.
I live in Tampa and I am looking for a suit that will work in a variety of temperature conditions. Such as the cooler waters of the fall and into the winter months as well as the spring. Is a shorty the best and will I get more use with that versus buying a full length wet suit?
The type of suit you will want is based totally on the water temps you'll be using it in. Typically a 3mm FULL suit is designed for use in waters 75f to 85f. A shorty would fall into that temp range as well, but typically on the warmer side of the range.
Looking for a wetsuit that I can wear for a triathlon, but they all seem to be priced much higher than these. Looking for warmth and buoyancy help mostly. Any reason this wouldnt be a good choice?
I dont purchase clothing from catalogues, as my body type is atypical. I am a female construction worker with a body type to match. Chest 42, waist 39, height 58, and weight 200, (solid except for the midlife bulge). Also, I am long in the body. The ONLY size chart that seems to have appropriate weights for the body measurements is Mares. I would like to go with a shortie that has more elasticity than neoprene, for easier entry. My shoulders have lost their range of motion from years of drywalling, any recommendations? We live in cattle country, and there are no dive shops nearby, where I might try different shorties on. You know your products better than anyone. Is there any one suit that has more give than the standard neoprene. I would like to use it in our swimming pool to extend the swimming season, as well as warm winter holidays. Tnx. M
Hello Marilyn, when you are sizing a wet suit the two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist measurements. Height is a secondary measurements and weight is the last. Going by your measurements I would suggest this suit and you would be a men size large: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-258/152068/Ocean-Quest-3-2mm-Premium-Titanium-Super-Stretch-Shorty-Wetsuit.html. I think this would be a better fit with the super stretch material, it will contour around your body and give you a better fit.

Frank Martin
Bruce Weber
just seeing what everyone thinks. i always hated playing frank martin teams. dude is just intimidating and k-state always seemed to have it together with him at the helm.
meh, we beat them both.

Hoiberg. He is 3-0 vs them. I refuse to count Fred's first year as he was dealt a weak hand.

Time will tell. Weber is using Martin's players.
I'll face Weber 10 times out of 10 rather than Martin. His teams played dirty.
Keepers of the Faith -- The Unknown
weber's only good teams at Ill were with Bill Self's recruits.

Yeah Frank Martin always seemed like a gangster/mafia type guy. I don't think I would ever aproach him for fear of getting whacked. I was able to talk to Coach Weber in the airport on Sunday and he's a real nice guy. Flew coach just like most of us laymans.
Martin on left, Weber on right, not even close
I'd prefer that KSU have Weber as coach. Not that he is bad, but I think Martin would have had them stronger year in, year out.
Is this a serious question?
Favorite posters: I hate you all
Weber has to be one of the top coaches when coaching other peoples talent. I think that after all Martin's recruits are gone they are going to go into massive decline. They won't be horrible but they wont be great either.
I think Martin is the better between them because he is a better recruiter and he gets them to play like their life depended on it.
I'll take Fred for the win.
Martin, though i hate his style (as with huggins) of 'they cant call em all'. I wish refs would have the balls to actually call all the fouls deserved.

I'm parked in a shopping center in Charleston, West Virginia. Beautiful day driving the motorhome through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Almost 500 miles from Oriental. Less than 1000 miles to Omaha. There is no place good to park the RV tonight so I hope they don't kick me out of here. Dogs are content. I'm going to start preparing dinner soon. I've been eating more healthfully now that I'm back on dry land. It doesn't seem quite as cold here as Oriental, but I've still got the gen on to power the computer and the electric heater, which is pouring out heat and making me sweat a little. There is a taco bell across the street. Don't hold it against me if I feed there at some point this evening.
11/11/2008, Kings
What you're seeing there are southern sides. I stopped at Kings again on the way back home. Those familiar with southern food will distinguish the various dishes. The rest of you, get ye to a southern buffet, preferably one in the actual south or southeast. I couldn't find it on the way in because we came a different way and because the Piggly Wiggly pig was on top of the Kings sign and that messed me up, coming from Tucson as I do. The food was even better this time, having accepted that North Carolina BBQ contains no red sauce and uses instead a vinegary concoction that is almost clear but is still tasty. I only made it about 190 miles west today because I stopped so many times for various supplies. We're presently in Mebane, North Carolina camped out at a Walmart. It's nice. Quiet. except I'm using the generator to heat the place and power the computer just like I did in the summer with the air conditioners. Aside from that I'm about to feed the dogs and then make foray into the SuperWalmart for something fun to eat for dessert. Wish me luck.
11/11/2008, Oriental, NC
I'm enjoying a cup of hot coffee made on board as the morning light comes up on this chilly morning. Slept somewhat fitfully from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. At least it was warm and cozy and I didn't have to worry about the anchor dragging or the weather changing in the middle of the night. After walking the dogs this morning I'll fill up with water and fuel (and propane at some point since I'm using a lot of it to heat the place at night), do the final checks on the motorhome, and head off towards Omaha, where my sister and her family live. I mapped out the voyage from Oriental to Omaha to Tucson and it's almost 3000 miles without detours. Fortunately the price of gas is 1/2 what it was when I came this way early last summer. The engine oil looks good so I think I will forgo changing it at this time. The place in Bayboro can't get me in until later this afternoon and I don't really want to hang around waiting. The existing oil has 3000 miles on it but its all highway miles and I did some research on the net that indicates 6000 miles or more between oil changes in a traveling motorhome is fine. I'll keep my eye on it but it's not black at all right now - looks almost as amber as new oil. Other fluids look fine too. I've got the AAA RV coverage still active so if it breaks down on me or if I blow a tire or something, I've got some coverage to get it fixed or towed. Imagine what it costs to tow a 34 foot motorhome without AAA... Lets hope I never find out. For those of you who are looking for sailing adventures, I'm afraid I've got nothing more to share in that regard for a while. Having not received a single offer on my Catalina 25 for sale in Phoenix, I will likely retrieve it upon my return to Tucson for more sailing adventures in the Sea of Cortez or elsewhere since it sits on a trailer, which, thanks to Matt, is in better condition than when I bought it (Matt, we'll have work out compensating you for all your quality work). My effort to sell my GMC 2500 truck while I was gone was also a complete failure (thanks to the gas prices and the economy I guess) so I unexpectedly have a great truck when I return (as well as the two motorbikes I kept, one of which is on a versahaul on the back of the motorhome. I bought the truck mainly so I would have a vehicle big enough to tow the Catalina 25 (and transport the dogs, of course). So, as it turns out, I have a great trailerable sailboat and a great vehicle that will take it anywhere... maybe things have worked out for the best in terms of future sailing adventures. There are places I can go with the small sailboat that would be impractical to bring the big boat to right now (like the Sea of Cortez, Catalina Island off the southern, California coast, the lakes in far northern Arizona like Powel and Mead and Rosevelt, maybe Tahoe... anywhere near a road).Until then, its just RV adventuring for several more weeks at least. I'll try and take some nice pictures. Frankly, I'm happy to be off the boat and back in the motorhome. It's a nice change. The dogs appear quite contented too. Looking forward to seeing family, friends, and maybe even looking into working upon my return to Tucson. With this economy, I don't know yet how I'll be received in the working world, or vice versa.
11/10/2008, Oriental, NC
I'm spending today getting the motorhome ready to travel tomorrow. Ed hooked me up with a place to get the oil changed along the way to New Bern so I'm going to try and coordinate that for tomorrow just as I get on my way. It's a beautiful day in Oriental and probably the last day I will be here in a long, long time. Back to unpacking, or packing, or whatever its called at this point. It's definitely weird to be back on the motorhome. Not bad, just odd. I'm so used to the responsibility of managing the boat, this thing doesn't require much attention while it is standing still, which is a lot of the time even while traveling. But I've got things to do to keep me busy and will be traveling again before long. After all this traveling, I still need to stay busy to be content. Just sitting around doing nothing... haven't mastered that. Back to getting ready for overland travel.
It was a cold night but I had a down comforter, propane heat, and Anne in bed with me, so I slept well. I also put the blue comforter from the boat on top. It smells like sailboat - a marine, light musty smell. It was very comforting somehow - familiar, like a small part of the sailboat lingering with us. When I was here last it was all about the air conditioning. When I plugged in the electricity last night the air conditioner came on, which means I kept the air on until the very last moment before I departed for a summer and fall of pure elements. This morning I drove the dogs to the Bean to get coffee as it was too cold that early to walk. I'm heading out in a few minutes for New Bern to return the rental car. Ed is picking me up at 10:30 a.m. I've got all my stuff in the Bounder and I'm about 2/3 of the way done packing it away. Making some oat meal before I go - fast food binge is over.
11/09/2008, Ft. Pierce (I'm presently in Oriental)
It's 48 degrees here in Oriental. Supposed to get down to 40 tonight. Fortunately the Rebounder has a great propane ducted heating system so we are nice and cozy. It's surrealistic to be back on the motor home, yet it feels almost like being back at home. It's been a decent couple of days since putting the boat on the hard. As usual it was a lot of work getting the boat ready to store. They did a great job spraying and scraping the growth off the hull. That cheap West Marine bottom paint did just fine for the 4 months I was in the water. My main zink wore completely off. Still need to check the engine zink - I bet its gone too. No blisters that I could see. I could be cruising again on Tropical Dreamer in less than a week when and if that happens. I went as far in 13 total hours of driving as I went in a month or two cruising down the ICW. Different trip altogether on the way back. Stayed at a hotel with the dogs last night. Tried to listen to the radio while driving north but most everything sucked. Rental car broke down on me 92 miles from Oriental and I had to get a tow to the New Bern airport to get a replacement and then unload and re-load all my stuff into the new car. Jake and Anne had to stay in the old rental for over on hour during the tow while I had to stay in the cab with the chatty driver. We all did fine. After what we've been through, we can handle most anything at this point. More unpacking to do tomorrow morning, then off to return the rental car to New Bern. I'm planning on departing Oriental the next day, but you know how Oriental can be when it comes to departures. I'd like to find someplace to get the oil changed on the Rebounder before I drive it another 2500 miles but Oriental probably isn't the place for that. I'll ask around. I managed to obtain a ride back from New Bern tomorrow so I won't have to take an expensive taxi. I have to say it's mighty nice to be on dry land for a change. Less exciting... less damp too. I imagined the motor home to be much roomier than than the Catalina 36, but it's really not so much roomier. The sailboat has the deck space that really makes a difference and the boat appears wider or at least uses that space better. Regardless, it's nice to be back "home." Even the dogs are resting comfortably. Jake is sleeping on my bed, which he hardly ever does. He must be ok. Goodnight.
11/08/2008, Riverside Marina
There simply isn't enough room in the car. I took so much stuff with me sailing because I didn't know how long I would be gone. A lot of the stuff I'm leaving will be useful for continued cruising, whether long or short. But things go bad on a stored boat pretty quickly so who knows how much of it will last since it will be at least 3-6 months before I'm back on the boat... maybe more. I managed to get plenty of sleep last night except for waking up at midnight to drag the dogs inside the cabin because they wouldn't stop barking at something that got too close to the boat. Awoke at first light, put the dogs in the car (they are already getting the back seat sandy and nasty), and headed to Dunkin Donuts for a well-toasted everything bagel and creme cheese and a coffee with creme and sugar. Yum. Jake hasn't left the car since we got back. Anne is hanging on the boat with me while I work to get the all the final details tied up. There is another boat in the travel lift space so I gather my 9:00 a.m. haul-out is in jeopardy. Oh well, I could use some more time to get the boat ready. Means I will be driving at night some to make it to Oriental within the 3 day window. In the meantime, there are several BBQ places in this town that I've been eying. I tried one yesterday for lunch. It was good, but I think there's better. Seems like I'll be here until least lunch. Well, gotta keep on the packing. It's not hard, it just takes continual effort until there's nothing more to do but put on the locks.
11/07/2008, Ft. Pierce, Florida
The photograph is of a man fishing off the beach off the Ft. Pierce inlet. He was actually kind of a jerk and told me to leash the dogs so the picture didn't make the first cut, but I didn't take any pictures today and I needed material. It was a very busy day. Filled up with fuel, did the final pump-out so the head is officially closed, and enjoyed a nice short cruise on perfectly calm water to Riverview. This place is an old school everyman-type marina. Few rules, not altogether organized, people working on their boats, people living on boats while in dry dock, lots of activity with boats going in the water for the season. There is a close-knit community of people who are essentially living here under the guise of getting their boat ready to cruise. The problem is some of them have been doing it for years. Got a ride with new friends to the Hertz outlet about 7 miles away (good thing I didn't try and walk). They are former professionals and now living aboard after having sold the house and most of their worldly possessions. They are happy, as are almost all of the cruisers I've seen. She pointed out at dinner that all the working people drive over the bridges but the cruisers cruise under them. They stress out in traffic on those bridges, we simply do not. Of course, I may very well be driving over the bridge before too much longer... The rental car is really nice. A Mazda small SUV. It will be comfortable and safe to drive the 800 some miles to Oriental. There isn't enough room to take everything I want in the car so a number of things are being left on the boat. I gave away several bags of food and packed several more bags away in the car. I've devoted the entire back seat to the dogs even though the seats fold forward to make more space and I could use the space. It's a long way in the car and I don't want the dogs to suffer. They've been through so much over the last 6 months and have adapted remarkably well. No need to push it. When Jake saw that I was packing the car with our things, he jumped in and refused to leave pretty much all day and part of the night. I guess he's ready to go home. We all are. As I pack to go home the cruisers around me are excitedly getting their boats ready to splash. I've met many cruisers recently and I'm sure if I stayed around for another few weeks I'd meet a ton more. Met a solo sailor who said he had so many friends among the cruisers that he never felt alone. Had new friends over for beers tonight (they don't have a refrigerator in their boat so it was a treat for them). Then they treated me to salad and pizza at the local place down the street. I'm back on the boat now. Still lots to do tomorrow morning. Lots and lots. Don't know if I will be ready by my 9:00 haul out. Some things I can do even after it gets hauled so I should be ok. Once the boat is out of the water, it's too far of a climb for the dogs. They are evidently fine in the car for a while. I need a good night of sleep tonight so I'm going to head off to bed soon. Tomorrow I'll be writing from dry land.
Yesterday was, among other things, a day of gluttonous eating. Pizza for lunch, grilled shrimp and chicken for dinner. I've been cooking for myself so much over the last 6 months and with the marginal food in the Bahamas, and all the canned food (boat food Rob calls it) I was ready for some American eats. Ate myself into an afternoon nap. Ft. Pierce is a nice town that caters well to boaters. It was pretty busy at the City Marina last night but that didn't keep me up. No, Anne kept me up. I don't know whether it was something she ate or if she got bit by something or if she was sensing something from me, but she threw up in the middle of the night and then couldn't settle herself down for hours. She kept getting up, turning around in circles, laying down, then moving around while laid out. If I left her sight she started whimpering. We took a few walks throughout the night but that didn't help. By morning's light she settled down and now appears fine. I, on the other hand, need to sleep tonight so I can be fresh for the road trip. I'm leaving the dock in a few minutes to drive the boat the short distance to Riverview marina and boat yard. I'll dock there, get the rental car, load up the things I'm taking off the boat, spend the night on the water with the dogs, haul the boat first thing in the morning, and head off. We'll see how that all goes. Should be an exhausting day.

WASHINGTON (AP) - D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry has been censured by the city's ethics board and fined $13,600 for accepting cash gifts from two city contractors.
The ethics board concluded Thursday that Barry had violated the council's code of conduct when he took a total of $6,800 from two construction companies that have done business with the city. The owner of one of the companies has said he gave Barry $2,800 to help pay his bills.
Although Barry reported the gifts on his financial disclosure statements, he did not inform the council chairman as required or recuse himself from matters involving the two companies.
The former four-term mayor admitted to the wrongdoing, and the action taken by the board was part of a negotiated settlement.
Barry declined immediate comment.

This was pretty good. Just not as good as mine. I made this dish by following the recipe exactly as written.
This is much easier than my four hour Bolognese I'm used to making. I don't like bottled sauce and this will be a regular for any pasta I fix from now on.

You can make the text (and other things like icons) larger without changing the screen resolution of your monitor or laptop screen. That way, you can make text easier to see and still keep your monitor or laptop set to the best possible resolution.
Open Screen Resolution by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Display in the search box, tapping or clicking Settings, and then tapping or clicking Display.
Choose one of the following:
Smaller - 100% (default). This keeps text and other items at normal size.
Medium - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.
Larger - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at least 1200 x 900 pixels.
Tap or click Apply.
To see the new text size, close all of your apps, and then sign out of Windows. The change will take effect the next time you sign in.
Also, you can change the text size for specific items in Windows, like window title bars or tooltips, without changing the size of anything else on the screen.
Under Change only the text size, choose the item you'd like to change and pick a text size. If you want the text to be bold, select the Bold check box.
You'll see the change the next time you sign in to Windows.
You can also make text appear larger or smaller by changing your screen resolution, but if you're using an LCD monitor or laptop, it's a good idea to set your screen to its native resolution to avoid blurry text. This is the resolution that a monitor or laptop screen was designed to display based on its size. For more info, see Get the best display on your monitor.
If you have a 1080p touchscreen device, you might need to adjust the size of the items on your screen to make sure touch works correctly. By default, some 1080p touchscreen devices show text and other items at 150%, and some of your apps might not work at that size. To fix the problem, follow these steps:
Tap or click Smaller - 100% (default).
Then tap or click Apply.
You can't change the default font or font color used for items in Windows (like window title bars, menus, or tooltips). But you can change the color of your window borders and taskbar, or use a High Contrast Theme to make the items on your screen easier to see. For more info, see Get started with themes.
