The inaugural awards ceremony will be held on August 18, 2013 in Halifax Nova Scotia at the opening dinner of the CSCS 15 th annual conference. The CSCS EG awards recognize the important contribution governance professionals make in terms of best practices that build and sustain shareholder and stakeholder value.

CSCS is committed to support and enhance the role of the corporate secretary and governance professionals in Canada. The Society's members work on the front lines of governance and the organization is well positioned through reputation, influence and representation, to celebrate the practice of good governance in Canada. The Excellence in Governance Awards jury panel is composed of seasoned and well-respected governance experts from across Canada. CSCS will announce the membership of the jury in a separate public statement and will be seeking nominations in early 2013. Candidates eligible for nomination include individuals who play a role in the governance of their organizations, and those who have made a significant contribution to governance in other capacities, including public service.

Teenager Israel Hernandez Dies After Miami Beach Cops Catch Him Tagging, Taser Him UPDATED
Israel Hernandez was allegedly Tasered to death by Miami Beach Police officers yesterday.
via MIA Skate Shop's Instagram
An 18-year-old skater died yesterday after Miami Beach Police officers caught him tagging a building and then Tasered him.
Details about the death are still murky, but what is clear is that Israel Hernandez died before dawn Tuesday morning after cops caught him spray painting near 71st Street and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Police have yet to comment on the killing, but an officer near the scene confirmed that cops had fatally Tasered someone. Hernandez's friends on the Miami Beach skate scene are devastated.
"I just cant believe it," says best friend Rafael Lynch, on the verge of tears. "I still have his hat and his board. They still smell like him. It's crazy."
Update: MBPD has released a statement and incident report confirming that Hernandez died after being Tasered. Police chased Hernandez after catching him tagging a building and used the electronic weapon when he refused to stop.

Hernandez and Lynch often hung out together at MIA Skate Shop in Sunny Isles, where Lynch worked. Lynch says his friend, a Colombian immigrant who had only recently gotten his papers, was a brilliant and peaceful kid.
"This dude wasn't a regular dude," Lynch says. "He wasn't into partying... I've seen him drink a beer in the past but nothing to get fucked up...
"I loved this person. He was very different. He had a passion for skating and art and many other things. He taught me a lot."
MIA Skate Shop posted a photo of Hernandez on its Instagram feed today. Reactions ranged from outrage to heartbreak.

Lynch says the Hernandez family is not yet ready to talk. He also says that he and Hernandez had recently launched a project to design unusually shaped skateboard decks.
"He had a short mission here in life, but it has affected the way I live for sure," Lynch says. "I can't do nothing to get him back. All I can do now is finish what we started, but it's just me now -- alone."
Riptide left several messages with Miami Beach Police spokespeople. We will update as soon as we hear from them.
Update: Here's the full statement from Chief Raymond Martinez:
At 5:14 a.m. on August 6, 2013, Miami Beach Police Officers observed a subject vandalizing private property (graffiti) on 71st Street and Collins Avenue. As Officers approached, the subject fled the scene, ensuing a foot pursuit by Officers. During the foot pursuit, the subject encountered Officers face to face at 71st and Harding Avenue, and ignored Officers' commands to stop. In order to affect his arrest, an Officer deployed his conducted electrical weapon (TASER). The subject was placed into custody.
Once in custody, the subject displayed signs of medical duress. Miami Beach Fire Rescue responded to the scene and transported the subject to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The subject has been identified as Israel Hernandez.
At this time, the cause of death has not been determined by the Medical Examiner's Office. Autopsy and toxicology results are still pending as well.
This incident is an open and ongoing investigation.
The City of Miami Beach would like to extend their condolences to the family of Israel Hernandez.
Update 2: Riptide has photos of the graffiti that got Hernandez killed. It's a single letter: "R." And it's painted on a dilapidated former McDonalds covered in graffiti and posters.
Update 3: Here is the full police report surrounding Israel Hernandez's death.

Nubian Heritage Hair Products @ Target
3 Attachment(s)
Has anyone seen or tried anything yet? I'm interested in the Indian Hemp stuff. Everything is $11.99 & $14.99.

New Stuff! :love10: My Target doesn't have these yet. It'll be a while. It took a year and half for shea moisture to show up.
shut yo jivin! I havent seen that at my Target yet.. but I def will be trying, Nubian Heritage and Shea Moisture are sister companies I believe and every NH product ive tried so far ive loved.. gotsta get it
Got the leave in and hair butter. I put a little squirt of the leave in my dirty hair....looks promising
Curse you iPhone!!!
maaaaaaaaannnn eff y'all I ain't gonna get this until 2034.
According to their Facebook page this is available at Walgreens too.
I wanted to buy some stuff from the Honey & Black Seed line to test on a blow out but it smelled awful to me. Whatever I use to condition or blow dry my hair with is usually what I'm walking around smelling like so I had to pass. The Indian Hemp & Tamanu smells good. It looks like that portion are stylers and finishers.
they actually have stuff in walgreens 'round here.
^^just rub it in Turtles...rub it in.

Yeahhhhhboi, Im on my smartphone!!!
I saw these, but since I had bad results with Shea Moisture I was scared of a repeat.
I wish our target shelves were stocked like that. We just got Shea moisture & kinky curly & miss Jessie's last week. Waiting on mixed chicks in may & now Nubian heritage. I hope they come soon.
I went to my local Walgreens, 3 blocks away and darn near everything was ghost
My local Walgreens has made space on the shelf for some of the items, not the full line. Looking forward to trying some stuff.
ETA: THey really need to get it together with a functioning webpage that offers basic info about all their different products and what the different lines cater to. Why is that so hard? Don't know if NH has a FB page like SM, but IMO, FB pages should be secondary to a functioning website.
Sent from my iPhone using CurlTalk
No truer words have been said.
SM.com has been down for a while (upgrading their site which takes a lot of time when you want to get it right) but sundial, the parent company site works. Not sure if nubian heritage has an fb page but the folks on the SM page respond quickly to questions & complaints. I told them I couldn't find the SM African black soap wash on the ground at target or walgreens and had to get the Nubian heritage from vitamin shoppe & they stresed they shipped new stock and dr. Oz talking up their black soap products was so successful that they sold out. They are a great company so I'm sure when the new site is launched it will be great. They have a ton of products though from what I saw at vitamin shoppe. I'm just going to shop there instead for body items. As far as hair stuff I will wait for target to stock up.
I'm sooo jealy. Ain't a Target, Walgreens, or BSS within 100 miles of me that sells anything worth anything. Not jessies, curls, kinky curly, none of it. The only SM Walgreens sells is the hibiscus line. Imma need to move......asap.:homework:
I did see some Nubian Heritage stuff at Walgreen's last night in the city but I didn't think to get any. I was only there to stock up on Suave Naturals.
There isn't any Walgreens in the immediate vicinity of where I live, but there are two Targets by me. Both have the Kinky Curly, Curls, etc. Next time I go to one of them, I'll see if they have any NH. I wasn't aware they were a cousin to Shea Moisture and since I like a lot of SM stuff, I'm wondering if I'll like NH too.
They do have a page but the OP gave me more info and photos than the creators themselves. I have yet to see full product info and everything I know is from word on the street. This is the first time I'm even getting price info.
Nubian Heritage | Facebook
I've seen them at both Target and Walgreens. Im interested in the Indian Hemp as well. The ingredients look really too. So more than likely I will be purchasing something soon.

Creating multiline tooltips
by Marco Bellinaso
In VB6 there was no easy way to create multiline tooltips for form controls, you necessarily had to resort to API tricks. And it was probably just not worth the effort. The good news is that doing this is straightforward in VB.NET! First add a Tooltip Provider control on the form to add the ...
Using multiple fields as value for the DropDownList control's items
by Audrey Peters
Being an avid Access Programmer I have been frustrated with the limitation of VB DropDownLists to using only 1 field as the value. I found a way to simulate/work around this behavior with concatenation of several database fields at the query level to be my columns(i.e. Select KeyId1 + '~' + ...

Map an enumerated value to a set of OptionButton controls
by Francesco Balena

Terminal Performance Testing
It is time for a scolding!
A recurring theme on this forum as with many forums is "How will this or that bullet perform on game". A typical response will be
for another person to relate their experiences with shots on game. There is almost never a response that includes, "my testing data shows...". There should be.
Terminal performance testing is not difficult, time consuming overall, or expensive. It does require some preparatory thought and rounding up of the materials. Once you have done the initial work, the time and effort for each test session is not great. It should be as essential to the development of a load for hunting game as selecting the proper powder, zeroing the rifle, and markmanship practice.
It is astounding to me that this group who in general are meticulous in your preparation of rifles and loads are not doing this. Start. Start now. It is the only way you will know how a bullet will perform in game. It is essential in the selection process of the proper bullets and should be as essential as determining a particular bullet's accuracy potential. Going hunting without knowing the terminal performance of your bullet in your rifle, with your load, at the distances you intend to shoot is the same as the guy who goes to the store, buys a rifle, has it boresighted, and accepts the clerks assertion that it is "ready to go", without zeroing the rifle at the range.
Wound channels are many things, but what they are mostly are different each time. The various factors bullet construction from lot to lot, impact velocity, impact angles, tissue encountered, excitement state of the animal, and a multitude of other factors make each wound channel unique. As stated by Col. Frank T. Chamberlin, Med Corp. in P.O.Ackley's HANDBOOK FOR SHOOTERS AND RELOADERS,
"There is one fact that stands out in my mind based on hundreds of experimental wounds that we created under known conditions, known ammunition, the bullets traveling at known speeds, known shapes or contours and known weights, dissected, X-rayed, and photographed with specimens of the wound tissues examined microscopically. NO TWO WOUNDS WILL BE FOUND EXACTLY ALIKE."
The point here is that examination of wounds in animals is mandatory and a very good thing to do, but conclusions based upon sample populations of one, two, or ten are not sound. General conclusions of a particular bullet's performance are only valid when the sample population of game taken with that bullet is greater than 50. Yes, 50 and that is a minimum number. There are so many variations in construction from lot to lot and materials, year to year that conclusions based on lesser samples are not valid.
Testing in controlled media does provide valuable data and should be used before a particular bullet is taken to the field.
There are a number of methods. You can develop your own. The media can be newspaper, magazines, silt, sawdust, fine clay, and others. It should be soaking wet. A box to hold it is necessary. A cardboard box will do for one time use. A place to shoot is required. All of this is well within the means of the average hunter and especially within the means of the members of this forum.
I really want to start to see some "my terminal performance testing shows......", comments. We can then discuss and argue over the results and conclusions. This will be good and interesting.
The comment "I don't have the time or money"is Baloney! and Hogwash! That is not a reason. That is an excuse. You as a group spend infinitely more time and money selecting your rifles and scopes and the bullet is at least as important as part of the equation.

Re: Terminal Performance Testing
Hello Warren
The only response I can make to your excellent suggestion on bullet performance is from actual killing of over 125 deer and 30 elk mostly by me on the deer and some of the elk by my friends hunting with me.
My actual testing is field testing only and has been successful for me and the friends I hunt with. We used the poor animal as our first live test many years ago and it proved out to be very accurate over the years.
In field dressing all of those animals, I have only had two bullets that were recovered from two of the elk. Each one of those bullets had gone through one shoulder and lodged itself just inside the hide on the other side of the elk. They entered the elk on a "facing away" slightly angle. The bullets were pealed back in four even segments and half of the lead core was still there.
All the rest of the animals had small entrance bullet holes and large exit wounds from the size of a grapfruit to that of a volleyball. The wound channel, in diameter, was larger on some shots as compared to others.
All animals were killed using Sierra Match Kings in several calibers and weights rangeing from the 140 gr 6.5, 7mm-168 gr, the 200 and 220gr 3o cal and the 338--300 gr.
The 338--300 gr seems to be the most lethal of any I have used so far.
For instance at 1000 yards that bullet went into 2 deer on the same day, again a nice little entrance hole and the exit hole was honestly as big as a volley ball.
On the 2100 yard shot on the elk, the entrance hole was again very small and round like the bullet diameter, and the exit was that of a large grapfruit after it went through one shoulder.
I have stuck with the Sierra MK so far because of the success we have had with them. I know there are other bullets available, yours certainly, that will do a fine job but, with our success, we tend to stay with what has worked for us for many years.
Some of the above animals (deer) were killed
at close range (100 to 200 yards) with lessor cartridges but still using the Match Kings and with similar results.
We don't xray the wound channel in the field ,as you have done and have access to, but only take a visual check of the pieces and parts we are removing.
We also write down the temperture of each day we hunted as a comparison for later.
The angle of the shots are usually straight across the mountain but, that also varies.
That's all I can tell you concerning the actual kills we have made or the live tests on animals.
I can only say, the wounds have always been lethal, ugly and death was swift in most cases. A second shot is seldom needed but is required from time to time if we see the animal is down and still alive.
Darryl Cassel
PS: As an aside, most of us on this forum and others don't have the testing facility and equipment you have at your disposal.
Most of us don't have your knowledge and experiance concerning bullet performance either.
As you stated, you do this for a living and must be MORE exact then the average or even the above average LR hunter, by far. Much of your work goes to the Government and they have strick rules of engaugement to follow.
Most of us do not test (maybe we all should)
to any length each and every bullet we use other then getting the best accuarcy load performance we can from our rifles.
Your suggestions are very valid but, most will not or I should say can't go to the extent you must go to in testing performance.
A box of wet telephone books or papers or such, is a start though.

Re: Terminal Performance Testing
You have the experience and field data to support your claims. We can discuss and argue over any conclusions, but as to quality and amount of data you have enough. There are others on this forum who do, also. As a group, as with the hunting community in general, the knowledge level is lacking, due primarily to a lack of research on the part of the individual hunter. The individual has not been told he should be doing this. That is my intent. I want to tell the individual he can and should be doing this. It is a call to action for the group in general.

Re: Terminal Performance Testing
Warren... a scolding for your scolding, and I agree/disagree (How's that for an anbiguous start?).
Back in the dark ages, when I started shooting, I did a number of tests on the Matchkings that I was using on varmints... used wet news paper at first. Then, when I was employed in the firearms field, I had access to 20% "jello".
It was an interesting time for me... I was 20-ish, and the learning curve was very steep (sometimes like a brick wall!).
The little .224, and .243 SMK's would come apart in a predictable way in both the wet paper, and the jello... but in the field, they were all over the place.
I am now thinking back some 30+ years to a 16 pound greyback chuck that was shot dead center at 80 yards by my shooting companion, using a .222Mag, and the still made 52 gr HPBT. Terminal energy would be around 1100 fp, and velocity would be about 3,100fps.
It fell over with little "X's" in it's eyes, and when we examined it, we found one tiny pencil sized hole in the skin. I thought that it was the entrance hole, until the shooter said it was on the wrong side of the critter... and after about 5 minutes of looking through the hair, we found a "dot" in the skin that looked like an ice pick wound... the bullet hade gone straight through, without opening up a bit... it was nerve damage that brought the animal down.
The point of this is that one can shoot all the Jello, sawdust, wet dirt, whatever, and still have little predictable knowledge what will happen on game.
When letting loose on a medium or large game animal, the path can be through simple flesh (with maybe an air chamber), or it can encounter 2" to 5" of solid bone first... with this kind of variables set, there is little that the shooter will ever learn about the bullet, and the best info may be had on forum like this one, where the results of many shooters can be pooled, and picked over.
Spring has sprung, da' creek has riz, I wonder where dem kitties is? Here, kitty kitty kitty.

Re: Terminal Performance Testing
Your posts are pure education and advice of the first order, please keep them coming.
I have had the good fortune to see some controled bullet tests in a ballistic lab and was amazed at how tough it is to control variables. If things are kept REAL simple the results seemed to be relatively uniform but they sure don't stay that way when bones, hide, clothing etc. are introduced.
One time I had access to a huge number of expired phone books, all neatly packaged in proper fitting boxes that I had lined with poly. I poured the same amount of water into each box and let them sit overnight. Needed info on muzzleloader bullet performance, particularly one brand. Set a box up at 100 yards and fired a shot, went down to the box, recovered the bullet and could have put it back into a sabot and shot it again. Tried five shots, all the same, no expansion. Moved the boxes to 50 yards - same thing. Believe it or not I ended up shooting one box point-black - on the damn shooting bench - and that bullet upset a bit but did not mushroom. Might have been flawed testing or a batch of bullets made of Titanium or something - anyhow I drove back to town and threw all the boxes into a recylcing bin. Still don't know what I did wrong that time. Felt like a real bonafide bullet tester that day.
Another "test" that I did was also on paper, only very hard sheets of carboard. Bundles of 150 stiff cardboard sheets, wrapped in brown wrapping paper, were placed in a single line on the ground, each bundle butting against the next single file. One .300 Winchester Magnum factory load was shot into the front bundle. None of the bullets penetrated a bundle fully. As each test round was fired the bundles were rotated back so that a fresh bundle was always foremost. Shots were fired from the prone position and aimed to strike the center of the bundle, approximately 3 above the bottom. The paper wrapping frequently split on a front seam, but all bundles stayed intact. The paper wrapping was then cut open, and the sheets separated to expose each bullet. Care was taken to determine the most forward position of each bullet. Bullets were removed and the penetrated sheets were counted and recorded. The bullets were carefully examined and all visible cardboard was removed with tweezers and a sharp pin. The bullets were then weighed on a reloading scale.
Ammunition Recov. Weight (gr) #. SheetsTOTAL (Wt.+#Sheets)
Winchester Failsafe 180 gr. 178.7 (99.3%) 114 292.7
Federal Safari - Nosler Part 180 gr. 120.3 (66.8%) 113 233.3
Federal Safari - Tr. Bonded 180 gr. 133.3 (74.0%) 095 228.3
Federal Safari - Woodleigh 180 gr. 123.7 (68.7%) 095 218.7
Sako Hammerhead 180 gr. 085.5 (47.5%) 101 186.5
Speer Grand Slam 180 gr. 068.8 (38.2%) 102 170.8
The above charts might turn into a dog's breakfast, here is what the top line should read:
1. Ammunition 2. Recov. Weight (gr) 3. #. SheetsTOTAL and 4. (Wt.+#Sheets)
(Weight plus number of sheets is an original Canuck evaluating method that means pretty well nothing, but I had to come up with something that seemed like I knew what I was doing...)
..all bundles were of equal weight and wrapping
..this test allowed a direct count of penetrated cardboard sheets
..only one round was fired per bullet type
..the TOTAL number is only for interest
..the Winchester bullet was a classic Failsafe profile
..the Sako bullet shed the core and the jacket was tightly packed with cardboard
..the Speer bullet shed the core and was loosely packed with cardboard
..the Nosler peeled back to the inner belt in classic Nosler form
..the Trophy Bonded bullets looked very similar and were excellent mushrooms
..the Woodleigh bullet mushroomed nicely
..did not have factory loaded Barnes or Swift A-Frames - too bad
This was probably not too far from shooting the bullets into a tree, pretty hard test "medium" but it was something to do that day. Another trip to the re-cycling bin.
Warren, I was involved in a little bullet test a while back with one of your competitors - Swift Bullets. I have pasted a chunk of the article below. Amazing thing about this story was it ran with some pretty graphic photos of very dead pigs and there was no backlash from the Save the Cuddly Wild Pig Foundation weenies or anything.
"...Although the range testing and water tank shooting was impressive, Lee (fellow from Swift) felt strongly that the bullet needed to be tested on game, so he asked if I had any ideas as to how we might do a good field test. That was an easy one, as I had hunted with Craig Winters and his guides on the Nail Ranch in west central Texas in November '98. I was impressed with the numbers of wild hogs roaming their 56,000 acres of range land.
Craig agreed that shooting 10 wild hogs could be done fairly quickly, and we could further the test by using their excellent 500 yard benchrest range to re-shoot the carcasses under controlled conditions. We would be allowed to take dry or flat-bellied females that were not obviously pregnant. Big old wild boars are commercially hunted on the Nail Ranch but there is almost no pressure on the sows. Taking a few sows wouldn't mean anything to the herd, as wild hogs have adapted amazingly well and probably outnumber whitetail deer on the ranch. We agreed on a two day guided hunt, with guide Tim Rhodes taking Lee and I out.
Once we decided on the wild hog hunt the fun began. To simplify the hunting, I suggested that we work up two separate loads for my custom built Lilja barreled Winchester Model 70 in .300 Winchester Magnum. Mounted with a rugged 10 power Bausch and Lomb Tactical scope on a one-piece long range base manufactured by Richard Near of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, the big Winchester shoots well under an inch with heavy loads of Hodgdon's H-1000. Using a chronograph I determined that 66 grains of H-1000 gave 2600 feet per second through the 26 inch barrel (.308 Winchester velocity), and a much hotter magnum load of 81 grains shot slightly over 3100 fps. Both loads shot 0.50" to 0.75" with the lot of Scirrocos that Lee had made up for the hunt. Since the tuned-up Model 70 action had originally been on a 7mm STW Laredo, I had an extra long magazine box to work with. I could load the 175 grain spitzers right out to the lands for maximum accuracy and still load the cartridges into the magazine. (note - the original prototypes were 175 grains, not the final 180 grains that are marketed) I marked the primers of the 2600 fps load with a black felt pen to be able to tell them from the 3100 fps rounds.
We arrived in Albany Texas, just a few miles from the Nail ranch on March 7th, 1999, a couple of days before the hunt. I needed to spend some time on the 500 yard range getting zeroes with the two loads. Starting with a 100 yard zero, I determined actual bullet drop at each distance out to 500 yards. I used 175 grain Sierra hollow point match bullets since I had a good supply of ammo loaded and wanted to save as many Scirrocos as possible. I then fire three shot groups with Scirrocos to check their drop and found that the Swift bullet dropped one minute or five inches less at 500 yards than the hollow point bullets. I got some three shot groups that went under four inches at 500 yards with both the 2600 and 3100 fps loads. The 2600 fps load had exactly 20 inches more drop at 500 yards than the 3100 fps rounds. I made up a drop chart for the faster load, as that would be the ammo used for most of the hunting.
The B&L Tactical scope made this job easy, as the adjustments are very positive and perfectly accurate. In addition I could use the mil dot reticle for elevation and windage hold-over if necessary, and to determine distance if the laser range finders couldnt provide a reading. I was not worried that the 10 power magnification might be too much to hunt with as the Nail ranch is wide open ranchland. Lee was bringing his Remington M-700 .300 Win. magnum mounted with a 3x-9x Nikon Monarch so we had a lower powered scope if we needed to shoot close.
Lee and I met Tim at the Nail headquarters just before dawn on the first day of the hunt. After explaining our objectives, and going over the equipment, we headed out on one of the many oil access roads that criss-cross the ranch. Tim had been guiding hog hunters since whitetail deer season ended, so he knew where we could count on finding suitable groups of pigs. Lee and I would take turns shooting and lasering distances, so that we would both get to see how well the Scirroco acted on wild critters. We used two Bushnell laser rangefinders, the 600 and 800 models with excellent results. We only took animals that Tim "OK'ed", and we were fortunate to make good hits on pigs at ranges from 60 yards to 250. We would hunt for three or four hours and then take whatever pigs we had shot over to the 500 yard range.
We shot pre-planned tests at the range involving the ammo loaded at the two velocities and at accurately determined distances. We also decided on four impact locations to ensure that the bullets hit bones and other tissue. Impact locations were broadside shots through the scapula (shoulder blade) and the femur or hip, and head-on and going straight away shots.
Lee had welded up a stand that supported the carcass in a lifelike position. He had also brought along a steel table that matched the height of the "pig-stand" on which we placed large plastic jugs full of water. On side shots the bullets passed through and were stopped by the water, so that all we had to do was pour out the water and the bullet dropped into the hand. (note - these bullets were completely clean, we did not have to pick anything out of them) Bullets shot length-wise into the pigs were easily recovered with the aid of a powerful metal detector.
After two days we had recovered 35 Scirrocos and seen the reaction of ten animals hit at various ranges and locations. We agreed that the bullet appeared to release energy very quickly, as most animals were flattened on impact. Tim has guided a lot of hog hunters over the years and he stated that these animals were "going down hard". Autopsies enabled Lee to examine exactly what wound paths looked like, and how far the bullets were penetrating under each circumstance.
We kept detailed records of each shot, including distance, animal position, impact placement, velocity and reaction to impact on data sheets. We placed each recovered bullet into marked containers so that weights and measurements could be correlated to the field info.
What were the results? The 35 recovered bullets averaged over 88%. We also shot some competitors during this test, some did well and some blew up.
Sorry for the long post guys, hope you didn't get too bored.
Warren's point is valid, we should make an effort to learn what our bullet does on critters as well as how small the groups are at 100 yards.

Re: Terminal Performance Testing
This is how I test:
I take the nearest neigbors cat or dog that has been craping on my lawn or barking / fighting and keeping me up late.
To a near by shooting spot with a big bowl of yummy food quickly drive away to 300 yrds and shoot.
I then inspect the carcus and blood spray pattern (great for the winter snow) and if I find more than three golf ball size peices I reject that bullet and try another one.
JUST KIDDEN!!!!! LOL gj.

It's a world of hurt. Perhaps you may become king one day, but your kingdom will inevitably fall and take you with it. We live in a time of unprecedented prosperity, but every empire falsely believes in immortality. And just as empires rise and fall, so do album charts: Only two top spots from last week remain. We mourn the dead but remember a time when, not so long ago, they ruled the world. (Yes, I've been watching Game Of Thrones.)
It takes a lot to slaughter Black Lips' Arabia Mountain off the Radio 200 chart's No. 1 spot—which is why it's no surprise that Bon Iver's self-titled sophomore album accomplishes that feat, after hitting pretty much every other milestone in its campaign to bring sexy sax to the masses, with lyrics so oblique they fall off the page. Leaving Battles' Gloss Drop at No. 2, Justin Vernon's bonny young project boinks Black Lips to No. 3, which boinks Cults to No. 4. YACHT and Thievery Corporation soar from No. 183 and No. 136 to No. 25 and No. 26, while Shabazz Palaces' well-received weirdo-rap saga Black Up debuts at the admirable No. 29.
In Loud Rock, Brazilian metal gods Sepultura claim their divine right to a top spot debut with the album-art-perfect Kairos, exiling the Devin Townsend Project from No. 1 last week, all the way to No. 8 (Alas, so fall the mighty!). Hip-Hop, too, dethrones Atmosphere's The Family Sign, which had been at No. 1 since Littlefoot stepped into the Great Valley. Replacing the Rhymesayers legend is the also-from-Rhymesayers Are You Gonna Eat That? by Hail Mary Mallon, up from No. 2 last week. The saga is repeated in RPM, with a hostile takeover from Thievery Corporation pushing Junior Boys to No. 2.
The one ray of hope for a continuing dynasty comes from the eternal throne in the kingdom of Jazz, where the triumvirate of Corea, Clarke and White rules over the land with an iron trumpet and has done so for many weeks. The kings are dead; long live the kings!

Tens of thousands of demonstrators have dug in their heels in the capital, occupying Kyiv city hall and blockading the main government building. Ukraine's prime minister has compared recent protests to a "coup."
"Blocking the work of state institutions is not a peaceful demonstration," Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said to a group of ambassadors from the European Union, Canada and the United States. "This has all the signs of a coup." He added that Ukrainians would stop getting pensions and salaries "in a matter of days" if officials could not work.
On Monday, heavyweight boxing champion and opposition politician Vitaly Klitschko announced a no-confidence vote against Azarov's government for Tuesday. A parliamentary committee backed Klitschko's motion 8-0, with one abstention, the Interfax news agency reported.
"We don't want to just replace some ministers but to reform the political system," Klitschko said.
After police violence Saturday, 100,000 people, Klitschko among them, took to the streets of Kyiv and other cities Sunday for the biggest demonstrations since 2004's Orange Revolution. Riot police met them with stun grenades, smoke bombs and truncheons, leaving about 200 people injured – including police, civilians and journalists – with 20 hospitalized. Interior Minister Vitaly Sakharchenko apologized, and Kyiv's police chief, Valery Koryak, offered his resignation.
Inside the Kyiv mayor's office Monday, officially unoccupied since Leonid Chernovetsky resigned in June 2012, protesters prepared food as doctors treated the wounded and activists napped on the floor. Activists spray-painted "Revolution Headquarters" across the building.
'Like a pogrom'
International reaction has proved varied. Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose government's pitting itself against the European Union in the tug-of-war over Ukraine helped start the protests, has denounced the demonstrations, calling them "more like a pogrom than a revolution."
In the United States, however, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a Monday briefing that the protests did not resemble a coup. "We certainly do not consider peaceful demonstrations coup attempts," Carney said. "The violence by government authorities against peaceful demonstrators in Kiev on Saturday morning was unacceptable," he added.
Germany's foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said the huge rallies showed "the heart of Ukrainian people beats in a European way."
The EU has set the release of Yanukovych's top rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko – sentenced in 2011 on abuse-of-power charges many call drummed up – as a key condition for any deal to increase trade ties with Ukraine and allow for the country's eventual accession to the body. The opposition believes that Yanukovych cannot afford to release the fiery Orange Revolution leader from jail ahead of 2015 presidential elections.
In a phone call on Monday, Yanukovych asked European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to receive his aides to further discuss the pact, the EU announced.

This time around, the juicy tid bits come from China Times, as they've been alerted by unnamed sources within Apple's supply chain about this iPhone nano model. From the sound of it all, Apple is looking to expand its presence in the entry-level market, and seeing that the $375 iPhone 3GS is regarded by some as still being a pricey investment when compared to other low-end Android smartphones, Apple is believed to move swiftly by introducing this nano-sized iPhone soon.
In fact, it's possible that we will see this new low-end model hitting sometime later this year, which will more than likely be in conjunction with the release of the sixth-generation iPhone. On the other hand, we've heard several rumors in the past regarding this magical nano-sized iPhone, but as we've constantly seen, they haven't panned out to be true.
Nevertheless, the most logical result is Apple doing nothing more than tweaking the manufacturing process to help further reduce the cost of the current iPhone model. Still, it would be beneficial to introduce a new size to possibly entice other handset owners to make the switch – even if they feel that the current iPhone is too large for them to handle.

The women from each of the six teams competing in the inaugural edition of a Women's Masters division of WUGC 2012 have created a Tips From the Masters Ultimate Deck full of skills, drills and expertise from some of the top women players in the world. With the purchase of each deck, $5 will be donated to Ultimate Peace an organization which builds bridges of friendship and understanding for youth from different social and cultural backgrounds around the world using the sport of Ultimate. Among the players featured in the deck are Miranda Roth (USA), Anja Haman (CAN), Hidemi Tominaga (Japan), Masami Tsutazawa (Japan), Nicole Cozens (Great Britain), and Kelli Browne (Australia). To order your Tips from the Masters Deck and support Ultimate Peace, visit the Ulticards fundraiser page .
Day 7 of the World Ultimate and Guts Championships has seen the first World Champions been crowned in the Guts Open division. Japan (red) won over USA 2-0. Japan (white) took the Bronze winning 2-0 over Australia. In the meantime the finals are played in the Masters divisions and USA took the Gold in the Women`s Masters division whilst Canada are the Champions in the Open Masters division. Open division, Women`s division and Mixed division finals will be played on Saturday in the main Stadium of J-Green Sakai.
Great Britain playing Australia in the Open division was in the end another game about the ability to score upwind. Great Britain took an early lead off of an upwind huck, but could not preserve it until halftime. Down 8-6 Australia ran off a string of 3 points to take half 9-8. Great Britain battled back, getting one upwind point in the second half, carrying that lead all the way to 14-13. Despite the Aussies having chances to get it back on the upwind, the Great Britain offense held for the 16-14 victory.
Two highly anticipated matches lived up to the hype, as the top of the power pools in the Open division did battle on day 5 of the WFDF 2012 World Ultimate and Guts Championships in Sakai. USA outlasted Australia in a dog fight, a game featuring multiple lead changes and stifling defenses. The Aussies held a 8-5 lead, but were unable to hold off an American run to half, and would find themselves down at half, 9-8. They never relented, fighting back to take the lead 16-15. After a USA hold, the Australians would have a shot to win Top seeds go to universe point, U.S. and Japan victorious. A receiver nearly came down with a low hammer throw in the end zone, but could not hang on, giving the USA a chance for the win. Robbie Cahill found separation on his man, but the throw from Mark Sherwood hung into the wind. As the disc pinballed between defender and receiver, it drifted to the back of the end zone where Sam Kanner would lay for the catch and the win.

Take out for dinner and/or eating out. Most of the time, the take out isn't fast food, but Chinese, West Indian or Indian. It cost about $6-10 each day for 3 or 4 days a week so it adds up. If I go to a sit down place once or twice a week, add another $20-$40 to that. I really don't like cooking, especially since I live alone.
Also, going out during the weekend in general (drinking, concerts, museums, etc.). I enjoy experiencing new things and spending time with friends, so I'm not sure this could be considered a waste of money. Living in a city that offers so many things to do does not help, although there are plenty of free or low-cost things, which I do occasionally.

The nation's highest court has refused to hear the appeal of a Penn Yan man convicted of his fourth DWI four years ago.
Robert Pealer's conviction was affirmed by the State Appellate Division in 2011 and was upheld by the state Court of Appeals earlier this year, which prompted an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. His attorney's petition claimed Pealer's rights under the Sixth Amendment were violated when prosecutors failed to call as a witness the technician that performed the calibration procedure on the breathalyzer machine that was used. The petition also claimed officers had insufficient cause to stop Pealer the evening of his arrest in October of 2008, violating his Fourth Amendment rights.
According to the Yates County District Attorney's office, on that October evening, Pealer was pulled over by a Penn Yan Police officer that had received a tip about Pealer's condition, observed his erratic behavior on the road, and noted an illegal sticker on the car window. Failing field sobriety tests, Pealer consented to breath analysis, which revealed his blood alcohol content to be .15, nearly twice the legal limit, and was arrested.
Pealer is currently serving the remainder of his 7 year prison sentence at the Orleans Correctional Facility and will be eligible for parole in 2015.

A Guy Sent His Wife a Spreadsheet With All the Reasons She'd Turned Him Down For Sex [Photo]
Pouty husband sent his wife a spreadsheet of all the times he was denied sex in one month: http://t.co/Vcm9OIR1b6
— Deadspin (@Deadspin) July 19, 2014
A few days ago, a 26-year-old woman posted a screenshot on the website Reddit.com. It was a spreadsheet that her 26-year-old husband had sent her before leaving on a business trip.
Apparently she'd been turning him down for sex A LOT . . . so he started keeping track of her excuses.
Between June 3rd and July 16th, they had sex three times . . . and she turned him down 25 TIMES. She used almost every stereotypical excuse you can think of: "I'm tired" . . . "I might be getting sick" . . . "I have to wake up early." So it SEEMS amusing.
But a few come off especially bitter, like her saying, quote, "I'm watching a show" when it was just an old episode of "Friends". Or saying, quote, "I just came back from the gym, I feel gross" . . . then not showering until the next day.
She says he cut off contact after he emailed it to her. Then she deleted her Reddit account when it went viral.

No Heat-Blows Cold Air Thru Side and Center Vents
2001 BMW X5 4.4L. Blower fan works, heat works only in defrost and floor mode. No heat coming out of center or side vents.(blows cold air) Dial is set to red mark....
Any Ideas?
Well I haven't experienced this problem but I know how the heating system works. Fan blowing (i'm assuming at low, medium & high speeds) and cold air coming out means your heater core is not getting the coolant through it. So likely the heater/blower relay is toast. That's my educated guess. Other possibilities is the heater core is cracked or leaking. But likely you would've either smelled coolant burning or experienced a leak in your cabin.
No Heat
I think if it was the heater core - I would have no heat from the floor or defrost mode... which is working...
Final stage resistor? Have you come across this in your readings?
Your thermostat could be stuck closed which would not allow hot coolant to circulate through the heater core.
i have 2003 X5 4.4, same problem heat from floor vent and defroster vent but no heat from center vents just cold air.
Have you guys read the owner manual?
What position do you have the stratified air dial? This is the dial (#3) in the middle of the dash's center vent that allows the front passengers to "temper" the air from those vents warmer or cooler...independent of the set temp that is coming from the floor or defrost vents.
:rofl: That's what happened to me when I first try using the heat in the X. Finally read the owner manual and found out about the thumbwheel in the center of the vent.

Hinderers of Revival (1 of 2) by Jesse Hendley
This content is part of a series.Hinderers of Revival (1 of 2)
Series: Revival
Jesse M. Hendley
Jonah 1
We are thinking about Hindrances to Revival today. I'd rather change that to HINDERERS of Revival. Don't flip off the broadcast! We need revival in these days! How we do need REVIVAL! We are living in days of lawlessness. We are living in days of abounding sin. We are living in days of pressure of demonism. The people of God are experiencing un- precedented pressures in this hour. We need the revival blessings of the Lord poured in our hearts so that our lives might count for God. We are left behind in this world for one reason, and that is to bless the lives of others in the Name of the Lord. So we are thinking about REVIVAL today, and what hinders it. We should get out of the way WHATEVER HINDERS revival, that GOD may come through to precious souls.
Our text is found in the Book of Jonah, chapter 1. You remember that God told Jonah to arise and go to Nineveh and cry against it for the wickedness of that city had come up before Him. But instead of that, Jonah was disobedient to God and rose up to flee to Tarshish, away from the Presence of the Lord.
But, my friends you cannot get away from the Presence of the Lord. You just can't do it. God's Presence is everywhere.
So Jonah went down to Joppa, a seaport town, and found a ship going to Tarshish, the opposite direction from which God wanted him to go. ''And he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it to go with them unto Tarshish, ''away from, the Presence of the Lord.'' (It is interesting to notice that it is repeated: ''Away from the Presence of the Lord.'' And you can't do that. You can't run away from God's Presence.)
The Lord sent out a great wind into the sea and there was a mighty tempest, and the ship was like to be broken, and the mariners were afraid. It must have been a great storm for these men, hardened and knowing the Mediterranean Sea, to be afraid. This was a MIGHTY tempest, so that the ship was like to ...

The portrait of the Trusty Servant, painted in 1809 and recently cleaned, hanging just off Chamber Court (and photographed rather badly by me on 13 July 2007).
Winchester College is an English public school, founded at the end of the fourteenth century. For the benefit of any non-UK readers I should explain that for schools in the UK, "public" means "private", and "school" refers to pre-university institutions. So a "public school" is a private-sector school taking children in the age range 12-18.
Winchester College was founded by Bishop William of Wykeham, so alumni are called Old Wykehamists, or more colloquially (and generally only by each other) "old Woks". It has a website, which I do not recommend – it appears the place is not what it was. Somewhat more encouraging is the Wikipedia entry, so I could be wrong.
The original part of the school is still in use. About 70 "scholars" live and study there. To become a scholar you have to take a competitive examination. Successful candidates are ranked in order of merit on the annual "Roll" (which is, or used to be, nailed to the main gate when it first comes out). Some candidates do not want to become scholars and only seek an "exhibition". An exhibition gives you the honour, but you live and study with the "commoners" in one of the Victorian boarding houses scattered around the main part of the college. In the year I took the exam, I placed bottom (22) on the list, but luckily for me, several people above me only wanted an exhibition, so I got a scholarship.
The centre of the old part is "Chamber Court". The chapel lies along one side, and the kitchens along another. The refectory is at the top of the stairs between them. Around the other sides are "chambers" on the ground floor and bedrooms on the upper floors. The old part is generally referred to as "College". So an "old collegeman" is someone who got a scholarship and studied there.
I have no idea what it is like today, and only a limited idea of what it was like before my time (1963-7). When I was there, College was extraordinarily competitive and largely academic. I have never been in such a competitive environment before or since. Everyone there was bright by normal standards and some were extraordinarily bright and hard-working. When I moved to Trinity College, Cambridge to study maths, I was absolutely appalled by how stupid and idle the students appeared by comparison. I later realized that was not fair, there were some exceptional people at Trinity, but only maybe five per cent of the student body, whereas in College it was far higher. Of course, the fellows at Trinity were an exceptionally able group (the boast used to be that if Trinity was a country it would rank 4th in the number of Nobel prizes), but as a student one had only limited contact with them.
Later I found both H M Treasury and Lincoln's Inn to have plenty of exceptionally able people, but they still could not really compare with College.
I have set up this blog so that any old collegeman may contribute articles, and anyone, old collegeman or not, may read them and comment on them.
So apart from the fact that the articles are contributed by old collegemen, there is no other connection with the school.
I am not exactly sure how many old collegemen there are. There are roughly 15 new scholars a year, so if the average scholar lived for 60 years after leaving, there would be about 900. I am currently endeavouring to contact them all to make them aware of this site. If I have missed someone, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Run in the dark to fast-track a cure for paralysis
As darkness sweeps around the globe on Wednesday, November 15th, thousands will pull on their running shoes and red flashing armbands and head for the door. In over 50 cities worldwide, they will be part of a living light show flowing through the streets like lava. Those same people will be helping to fast-track a cure for paralysis as part of the Run in the Dark. Join us in one of our 6 official locations, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London,Manchester and Taipei (12/11), or join with our volunteers in pop-up events in cities worldwide.
Unbroken by blindness in 1998, Mark Pollock suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury in 2010 that left him paralysed. As Mark strives to walk again, his most complex journey is ahead of him - to find a cure for spinal cord injuries for him and the millions of paralysed people around the world. The Run in the Dark plays a vital role in funding The Mark Pollock Trust's mission to find and connect people around the world to fast-track a cure for paralysis.
create your fundraising page
All proceeds raised from #RunInTheDark go directly to the Mark Pollock Trust. Our mission is to find and connect people around the world to fast-track a cure for spinal cord injury, and we are already making progress.
Up to this point in history it has proven impossible to discover a cure for paralysis. But history is filled with accounts of the impossible made possible through human endeavor. This is why the Mark Pollock Trust is exploring the frontiers of spinal cord injury recovery, working with the world's greatest scientists and building a tribe to amplify the mission.
If you've already started to help the cause by signing up to Run In The Dark you can take it one step further by creating a JustGiving page for your run below and ask your friends and family to support you on the run.

When C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy, he finds himself unearthing a threat which challenges the entire human race.
The answers seem to lie within an old, secret British institute, known only as Torchwood. But Torchwood was destroyed, years ago, and the keys to the institute are held by its only two survivors – former Police Officer Gwen Cooper, who has long since disappeared along with her husband and child, and the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness, a man whose history seems to stretch back centuries.
With Rex under attack from all sides, in both the US and the UK, he soon discovers there are forces at work within every level of society, determined to stop Torchwood's return. As a chain of events across the world links together the most disparate and unlikely individuals – including a surgeon, a killer, senators and CEOs – a new Torchwood team takes shape. But this time, the threat is much closer to home, as they realize that their greatest enemy is mankind itself…
CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS (John Barrowman)
Jack looks like a hero. But he's so much more than that...
He's American, handsome, with a killer smile and a classic coat. But you don't expect heroes to be this much fun. He's witty, fast, subversive and there's a reason for that glint in his eye - he'll sleep with women, he'll sleep with men; if aliens invade, he'll sleep with them too. Got a problem with that? Tough!
His dashing style hides a secret. There are mysteries about Jack - a man going under his name seems to have a history stretching back to World War 2, or even earlier, to the Nineteenth century, the Eighteenth...
Truth is, Jack Harkness is immortal. A fixed point in time and space. The only one of his kind. For thousands of years, he has never been able to die. When killed, he comes back to life - seconds later. Though his tragedy is, he feels every death. It hurts - and so does the passage of time. He can never love anyone for too long, because he will always lose them. As a result, he's lived many lives. He's been a conman, a thief, an adventurer - though more a rogue than a villain, because his perspective on human life makes him appreciate this world all the more.
Jack once ran the Torchwood Institute, a British organization dedicated to fighting the strange and bizarre. He was king of his own little world for a while, the happiest he'd ever been. But Torchwood fell. His friends were killed. The Institute closed down, and Jack disappeared, to start yet another of his many new lives. And yet...
The only thing that could call Jack Harkness back is his unstated love for Gwen Cooper. And when a new, epic danger affects the whole planet, Jack finds himself back at the center of events, fighting not just for his own life, but for everyone on Earth. But this time, are the stakes too high?
GWEN COOPER (Eve Myles)
All Gwen wants is a quiet life. Honest.
She's Welsh, lives in seclusion, far away from the city, on a cliff top in the wilds of South Wales with her devoted husband, and baby Anwen - it's a rural idyll.
And it's a lie. Gwen is in hiding, because she once lived the most extraordinary life. She was the heart and soul of an organization called Torchwood, a freelance band of fighters who fought the strange and unexplained. She was a defender of the human race.
But no more. Torchwood was destroyed. Her colleagues died, or fled. And Gwen hid herself away, for the rest of her life, to protect her loved ones. But knowing, just knowing, that one day trouble would come calling again.
She lives the ultimate double life: the funny, salty, earthy woman who loves home and family, combined with the tough, ruthless warrior, who loves the thrill of the fight. She's both selfish and selfless. And never doubt it - when Gwen's in a crisis, she is magnificent. Gun in both hands, baby strapped to her chest, she'll run and fight and never give up.
It's passion, in the end: Gwen's all about passion. She loves her man, she loves her child, she loves this mad old world, and maybe she loves Captain Jack Harkness just a little too much. But when the events of this story push Gwen to the limit, she'll need to call on resources she never knew she had, to take action and make the most terrible decisions, on behalf of all mankind.
REX MATHESON (Actor TBD)
He's 28, the golden boy. Has been, all his life. Harvard education, fast-tracker in the C.I.A., destined for success. Though he's never taken it easy – Rex hustles, seduces and campaigns to get where he is today. He can talk his way into anything, then charm his way out, fast. He's made a lot of enemies, but his friends and lovers would defend him to death.
His choice of career is significant. Someone like Rex could make a fortune in Wall Street, or Hollywood. But choosing the C.I.A. says a lot about him: that for all his swagger, he does believe in justice. And will fight for it.
Slowly but surely, we see him make friends. He's thrown together a bunch of people known as Torchwood, the only people who might have the answer to a global mystery. To Rex, at
first, they're a bunch of freaks. Welsh women and World War 2 Captains, what's that about?! But as they race from one crisis to another, dodging assassins, blackmail, corruption and conspiracy, from Washington to Wales and the slums of Shanghai, Rex forges friendships in the heat of fire. He learns to trust his new colleagues. And they realize that this dangerous, dazzling, reckless man is the best friend they could ever have, in a world going to hell.
They frighten us, men like Rex. We wish we were him; we never will be.

First-year seminar teaches staple of liberal arts education
After all, the famous Alexander the Great was known for having a heavy hand in the shaping of his own history.
"He fined people in Athens when they wrote something about him that he didn't like," said freshman Zach Royal of West Deptford, N.J. "Alexander loved creating the mythology of his own life and making himself more epic."
Much of what is written about the great king is interpretation based on, yes, other historian accounts that may or may not be entirely factual.
This is what makes for an engaging and lively First Year Seminar. Not only do the students analyze the content of academic articles and books written about Alexander, but they also examine the methodology of the writer and attempt to trace the so-called facts back to primary sources that may have influenced the research.
"The purpose of this class is introduce students to serious academic work at the college level, " said Donna Evergates, professor of History. In that vein, they have studied a number of issues related to Alexander in current scholarship, including his youth in Macedonia and relations with his parents, his friendships and sex life, his military leadership, the cities he founded and his growth to mythical status.
Alexander, despite being born in 356 B.C., has received a lot of new attention in the past decade. One of the first topics discussed in Evergates' class was the correlation to current U.S. involvement in the Middle East.
"Alexander is fascinating to a lot of people, but they don't know the source material. They just know legends and propaganda," Evergates said, adding that it may have aided current foreign policy makers to know that many of the difficulties Alexander tried to overcome in Afghanistan (ancient Bactria) were the same ones that British and Soviet invaders faced in the 19th and 20th centuries, and that these campaigns that began with confidence "ended in catastrophe."
The diverse approaches to learning about Alexander allow students to study legend, history, romance, tombs, forensic and archeological evidence, and even art, including coins that bear Alexander's portraits.
"I feel the topic of Alexander the Great is more than important to study – it is essential," said Royal. "And I feel that my research abilities and study skills have grown exponentially thanks to Dr. Evergates."
The class plans to travel down to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore to assess the differences of near-eastern art before Alexander came into the picture, and after he introduced Greek culture.
According to Evergates, this is one of the best First Year Seminar classes she has ever taught. "They are so engaged and smart," she said, "They love to correct me."
