The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum
Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression.
"The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum.
"The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England.
The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Jean and Roy Russo have generously given the Yorktown Museum their large collection of banks and this is the first time it will be on display.
Meerkats - Maritime Aquarium
Through September 02, 2013 - Norwalk
Meerkats are members of the mongoose family that live in social �mobs� in the Kalahari Desert, in the southern African nations of Botswana and South Africa. No mere cats, meerkats are fascinating for living in structured but cooperative societies, including a foraging strategy where adults take turns standing guard upright on their hind feet, watching for predators, while the others eat.
The meerkats� exhibit offers opportunities for climbing, digging and exploring, with several feeding locations to keep them on the alert for incoming crickets. A viewing bubble lets visitors pop up right among the meerkats. Through September 2, 2013.

Comment 02 Jul 2015
I've had the privilege of getting to know Jarrod over the past few years. He is a great guy and the Buckeyes are really lucky to have him! He could have gone to a couple other Big Ten schools (I vehemently told him not to go to a certain school up north) but he decided to stay home and be a Buckeye. Urban told him how much he wanted him to come to Ohio State and that sealed it for him. He will be a great addition to special teams and will definitely be fighting for a safety or nickelback position next year. Congrats Jarrod!

Grilled Salmon Glazed with Ginger Honey Soy SaucePublished on By: Josh and Brent
- posted in:
- Food & Wine
- / Main Course
(Full recipe at bottom of post.)
When Josh was a kid, he and family friends took fishing vacations in Door County Wisconsin, where they trolled Lake Michigan catching Brown Trout and Salmon. Truthfully, as a nine year old, waking up at 4am to ride around in a boat for 6 hours wasn't his idea of the perfect vacation. But every time he caught an 18+ pound salmon, it more than made up for the down time. And the sea-sickness. And the holding in pee for hours.
That's where he learned to clean, filet and steak salmon. And how to cook it on the grill. Salmon is a dense fish…but it's still more tender than swordfish, or tuna. So it takes a little bit of care on the grill…especially filets.
Follow along with us as we grill our special Ginger Honey Soy Sauce salmon, using our own Beekman 1802 Ginger Honey. (If you don't have our Ginger Honey, you can mince a little fresh ginger and add it while heating the glaze.)
First, get the charcoals going in the grill. You'll only want them on one half of the grill, since salmon (especially filets) are too delicate to cook over direct heat.
This glaze is super easy to prepare. Simply whisk together the soy sauce and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer, but don't let it boil over.
Wash and pat dry the salmon filets. Coat the skin side with a little olive oil so that they don't stick to the hot grill.
Place the filets on the grill, skin side down, over the half of the grill that doesn't have the coals. We'll be honest here. Sometimes, if we feel the filet is very firm and cold, we'll brush the non-skin side with a little oil and sear it first, for only about a minute, because we like the sear marks. (And it's impossible to flip and sear if you start skin side down.)
After about 6 minutes, over indirect heat and with closed grill cover, the salmon fat should begin to ooze out the sides (it's the white stuff.) Now it's time to add the glaze. Brush on the glaze, close lid. After about 2 minutes, open and brush on more glaze. Close lid again. This is getting repetitive, but trust us, you want to add the glaze several times, in thin layers.
After about 10 total minutes of cooking time the salmon should be done. Poke it with the edge of your spatula, and it should flake. Add once more brush full of glaze and remove from heat. Serve immediately, coating with any remaining glaze if desired.
P.S. Josh didn't make soy sauce honey glaze for the salmon he caught when he was nine. Perhaps he wasn't born that way after all.
SummaryIt's simple to cook salmon filets on the grill...just treat it delicately.
Prep time: 6 Min
Cook time: 10 Min
Total time: 16 Min
4 five-seven oz salmon filets
1/3 cup Beekman 1802 Ginger Honey (if you don't have Beekman 1802 Ginger Honey, use regular honey with the addition of 1 teaspoon peeled, minced, fresh ginger.)
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking oil.
Wash and dry salmon filets. Combine Ginger Honey and soy sauce in small sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk until simmering and combined. Do not allow to boil over.
Brush skin side of salmon filets with oil.
Place salmon filets on grill, skin side down, over indirect heat. Cover. After about 6 minutes, when white fat begins melting from sides of salmon, brush with glaze. Cover. Brush with glaze and cover intermittently until about 10-12 total cooking minutes have passed. Once salmon flakes when poked with fork or spatula, it's done. Remove from grill and serve immediately, using remaining glaze if desired.

As another person who had to hold it while fishing in Lake Michigan… with I believe the same fisherman Josh went fishing with. This recipe sounds heavenly and I will share…
Looks Wonderful! Will be trying this recipe tonight
Your recipes and photos are drool inducing without a doubt. Besides the compliment I'm using this opportunity to request an option for larger print on your pages. With glasses my eyes are 'perfect' but they are old and tired and I find it is very wearing to have to concentrate that hard. I don't want to miss any of your 'offerings' about anything. Do you think it would be possible for me to push a key and see more easily? 'T'would be GREAT.
I just saw your request for larger print. While I'm not affiliated with Beekman 1802 in any way, maybe I can help. When browsing the internet, you can usually zoom your screen in by pressing CTRL and + at the same time. To zoom out, CTRL and -. Hope that helps.
My son usually mans the grill at the beach. He's gonna have to listen to mom with this
one. Sounds delicious and bet it could work on the blue fish and stippers caught in the Bay in front of the house. Thanks guys, recipe sounds relish and EASY! Yes, Josh, only place to hold that stuff that long is in your pool. Heheh! xx
I remember spending every summer with my grandmother, who lived in Wisconsin. I had my own little row boat and would spend the whole day on the lake fishing…I feel bad for Josh having to "hold it" as I kept a coffee can (courtesy of grandma)in the boat with me because she knew I hated having to come in to run to the outhouse! Thanks and can't wait to try the recipes-you can't beat fish on the grill…yummmmm!!!
why would Josh – at age 9 – be holding in pee, in a boat, probably with a lot of other men while fishing, in WATER ?? My sons went family camping for years as youngsters, and learned that peeing in the woods was perfectly 'legal'. Thanks for the recipe BTW – sounds great!

Bombardier Aerospace (Montréal, Québec, Canada) announced Oct. 15 that the cockpit and all fuselage sections for the CSeries aircraft's first flight test vehicle (FTV1) have arrived at Mirabel, Québec, and that the assembly of FTV1 is in progress.
Additionally, the first wings for the allnew CSeries aircraft are now being mated to the test airframe that will be used during the Complete Airframe Static Test (CAST). Bombardier also announced that testing of the avionics, electrical, flight control, fly-by-wire, hydraulic, landing gear and wiring systems for the CSeries aircraft, as well as virtual flights, are progressing steadily at Mirabel on Aircraft 0 − the on-the-ground Integrated Systems Test and Certification Rig (ISTCR) for the CSeries aircraft.
Located at the company's Experimental Test Facility in St Laurent, Québec, the CAST is designed to demonstrate the static strength of the airframe and show compliance with certification requirements. The Mirabel facility will be the production site for the CSeries aircraft and the assembly process will include a fully automated moving line using the latest lean manufacturing principles.
"The CAST, FTV1 and Aircraft 0 are all key elements in the testing and development of the CSeries aircraft and we are delighted with the progress on each of these three test platforms," says Rob Dewar, vice president and general manager, CSeries, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Aircraft 0 is permitting us to validate the CSeries aircraft's systems in an efficient, on-the-ground setting that allows us to work seven days a week and 20 hours a day. Our findings will allow us to optimize the time spent in the flight test program. The integrated systems tests on Aircraft 0 are designed to mitigate risks and provide the necessary reliability before first flight. To date, tests have shown no unexpected results and all is going as planned."
The CSeries aircraft wings were built at Bombardier's new 600,000-ft2/55,742m2 manufacturing and assembly facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which is responsible for the design, manufacture and integration of the advanced composite wings for the CS100 and CS300 jets, including all flight control surfaces and highlift systems. The use of resin impregnation has enabled the manufacturing of larger and more complex composite structures in the aviation industry. Bombardier Aerospace Belfast has been at the forefront of that manufacturing revolution, developing and patenting its Resin Transfer Infusion (RTI) process that is now being used in manufacturing the primary structural components of the wings for the CSeries aircraft. The use of composites in such a large structure as the wing provides weight savings, but additional benefits to customers include fewer inspections and therefore lower maintenance costs, thanks to the corrosion resistance properties and fatigue strength of the composite material. The composite manufacturing process being employed at Bombardier Aerospace, Belfast also permits a high degree of accuracy and aero smoothness to minimize drag and therefore reduce the CSeries aircraft's fuel burn.
The advanced technology, carbon fiber wings for both the CS100 and CS300 aircraft have an approximate area of 1,209 ft2/112.3m2 and a span of 115 ft/35.1m. While some of the internal parts for the wings of the two models will be different, they have the same aerodynamic profile.
During the CAST, the wing and other components of the airframe will be subjected to a series of load cases – representing flight maneuvers, landing, takeoff and other in-flight and on-ground conditions − to test the strength of the airframe. For selected load cases, internal cabin pressure will also be applied when simulating inflight conditions. Data collected will be monitored by Bombardier's stress engineers, as well as by the partners and suppliers that are involved in the development of structural components for the CSeries aircraft.
Bombardier Belfast manufactured the centre fuselage for FTV1, while the forward and aft fuselage sections, as well as the cockpit, were supplied by Bombardier's St. Laurent facility. The rear barrel was supplied by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), a subsidiary of the state-owned aviation industrial entity, China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC).
As in the production of the wings for the CSeries aircraft, Bombardier has capitalized on its
expertise in composites technology in the development of the airliner's aft fuselage. For the carbon fiber aft fuselage, including the pressure dome, the company is using automated fiber placement (AFP) techniques. Bombardier's adaptation of AFP technology, which is also using robotic technology, has benefited from the largest collaborative aircraft structures demonstration project initiated by Canada's National Research Council to advance AFP use in the aerospace industry.
Bombardier is employing a brand new moving line in manufacturing the cockpit for the CSeries aircraft at its St. Laurent facility. The line has been designed using lean manufacturing principles in order to ensure safety for the company's employees, enhance product quality and provide flawless execution for ontime delivery.

We analyze the dependency and the accuracy of the refocusing criterion based on the integrated modulus amplitude in the case of amplitude object. Analytical dependencies on the defocus distance and the numerical aperture are found. This theoretical prediction for the refocusing criterion is well supported by simulation. We study also the robustness of the refocusing criterion by adding salt and pepper and speckle-type noises. We demonstrate that the refocusing criterion is robust up to an significant level of noise that can perturb the holograms.

A FATHER and son have paid an emotional visit to a little-known piece of Warrington's military history.
Keith Hayward and his son Daniel went to the Boer War battlefields in South Africa.
For 15 years Keith was part of the South Lancashire Regiment, based at the Peninsula Barracks on O'Leary Street, Orford, where Daniel also attended as a member of the Cadets.
The road takes its name from Colonel William MacCarthy O'Leary, who led the regiment in the Boer War at the turn of the 20th century.
O'Leary's statue has long stood in Queen's Gardens on Palmyra Square, but his resting place lies hidden away in the South African grasslands, not far from where he fell in 1900.
"Very few, even Boer War enthusiasts, know of the grave" said 59-year-old Keith, of Wensleydale Close, Whittle Hall.
"It was only after mentioning our connections to the regiment to our tour guide that we were taken there. It's miles from any of the cemeteries, with only one other grave beside it."
The trip fulfilled a long-standing ambition for Keith and Daniel, who have journeyed to various battlefields across Europe.
Keith added: "It's one of the most deadly conflicts the British army has ever been involved in, but very little about it is common knowledge and very few memorials exist in Britain today.
"The monuments we saw over there were full of Warrington names. Daniel is 23 and has several friends who have been wounded or killed in Afghanistan, so it had a major impact on him. It's expensive but I'd encourage anyone who has the money to make the trip."
l A memorial service to commemorate the part played by the South Lancashire regiment at the Boer War takes place in the town each February.
Members of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment host the annual service to recognise those men who lost their lives at the battle of Pieter's Hill.

Novell-Microsoft Case Goes to Supreme Court
Novell was handed a small victory Monday when the Supreme Court refused Microsoft's request to dismiss Novell's 2004 antitrust case against the software giant.
The high court rejected Microsoft's request for a writ of certiorari with little fanfare, publishing a two-sentence denial in its daily order list Monday. Chief Justice John Roberts, a Microsoft shareholder, had no part in the decision, according to the note.
A writ of certiorari is essentially an appeal, usually filed by the losing party, which asks the Supreme Court to review a ruling made by a lower court.
Novell originally accused Microsoft of withholding information that would facilitate the integration of Novell's WordPerfect and Quattro Pro with Windows products. That lack of integration hurt Novell in the market something Microsoft planned on all along, according to Novell.
"Bill Gates specifically suggested waiting to publish critical technical specifications of Windows 95 until 'we have a way to do a high level of integration [between Microsoft Office and Windows 95] that will be harder for [the] likes of . . . WordPerfect to achieve,'" the suit said.
"If we own the key 'franchises' built on top of the operating systems, we dramatically widen the 'moat' that protects the operating system business," Microsoft official Jeff Raikes said in an e-mail to investor Warren Buffett, according to the original filing.
Despite the ongoing case, Microsoft and Novell in 2006 reached an agreement that saw Microsoft offering sales support for Novell's SUSE Linux while both companies worked toward interoperability of their operating systems.
Last year, meanwhile, Microsoft released its Silverlight video offering from beta and announced a formal partnership with Novell to provide Silverlight for Linux.

Animal Shelter Seeks Loving Foster Homes for Pets

Animal Shelter Seeks Loving Foster Homes for Pets
Orientation for Prospective Foster Parents; May 21, 7
Do you love animals? Do you want to help save lives of homeless pets in Fairfax County? Experience the joys of being a pet parent without the lifetime commitment of pet ownership. Teach your children about volunteering, humane treatment of animals and animal husbandry. Consider becoming a foster parent to a shelter animal.
Tracy Petty, a longtime volunteer with the Fairfax Animal Shelter, recently decided to foster a dog with temporary medical needs.
"We have one dog in our family and we know that he loves being around other dogs. My husband and I are not ready to add another permanent family member and fostering is a perfect solution for us. We know we are helping an animal that is truly in need and has a bright future ahead."
Taking in four to five thousand homeless animals each year, The Fairfax County Animal Shelter accepts any companion animal that comes through its doors, regardless of age, health or temperament.
Some of these animals are not quite ready for adoption when they enter the Shelter. They may require the loving care of a foster family to prepare them for their forever home. As the Shelter enters spring, its busiest season, foster parents are needed to help nurse animals back to health and provide socialization for timid or scared animals.
Kathleen Cornell, Foster Care Coordinator, is focused on expanding the Shelter foster program.
"Historically, the foster program has focused on finding foster homes for kittens and puppies until they are old enough to be adopted. We are now expanding the program to find more homes where adult dogs and cats, as well as rabbits and other small animals can benefit from a home environment."
The Shelter is recruiting potential foster parents for adult dogs with special medical needs, puppies, and orphaned kittens as well as fosters for dogs and cats that need extra attention and socialization prior to being placed for adoption.
"The Shelter provides all of the medical care, food and supplies for foster animals," says Kristen Auerbach, Community Outreach Program Manager. "As a foster parent, you provide a safe and nurturing place for an animal that needs extra TLC. Our foster parents save lives by the selfless act of opening their hearts and homes."
A special foster information session will be held on Tuesday, May 21 at 7pm at the Shelter at 4500 West Ox Road. Please rsvp to email@example.com if you are interested in attending this session. If you are unable to attend this session, but are still interested in fostering, please fill out a foster application by visiting the foster care page of our website at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/animal/foster.htm.

Jobs are hardly plentiful nowadays, but nor are they as scarce as they were three or four years ago. As a country, we have been making progress on the employment front, albeit a lot slower than we would want and slower than many expected.
The most recent unemployment figures showed an increase in nonfarm payrolls of 175,000 and an unemployment rate of 7.6%. This in the ballpark with what we have seen during the past several months, with the unemployment rate being below 8.0% since September of last year.
Beneficiaries of the (slowly) recovering jobs market are employment agencies. When companies hire, these companies are in line to benefit. I think an indicator of the improving jobs outlook is the presence of three employment agencies that get very high approval ratings from my guru strategies. These are computerized strategies I modeled after the investment strategies of some of Wall Street's brightest gurus.
Having three employment agencies earn such strong accolades is a testimony to how well this sector is doing. All three of these companies are important players in their market and have track records of strong performance. They all enjoy the competitive advantage of size and the market advantage of being in a nicely recovering market niche.
Robert Half International (RHI) is one of the country's largest providers of staffing services. The strategy I based on Peter Lynch's approach to investing is a fan of Robert Half. This strategy looks at the P/E/G ratio, which is the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) relative to growth, and is a measure of how much the investor is paying for growth. Up to 1.0 is acceptable, and Robert Half is comfortably below this bar at 0.83. Another plus is the almost total absence of debt on the company's balance sheet.
Another major player in the employment-agency industry liked by the Lynch strategy is Kelly Services (KELYA). Its yield-adjusted P/E/G is 0.80 and, like Robert Half, has little in the way of debt.
The smallest and least known of the three is TrueBlue (TBI). Whereas Robert Half and Kelly Services address a wide range of job openings, from temp to permanent, and from lower level to higher level jobs, TrueBlue specializes in temporary blue-collar staffing in such industries as construction, manufacturing and services. My James P. O'Shaughnessy-based strategy likes the company's large market cap ($933 million), five straight years of improving earnings per share (EPS), and a sales ratio of 0.66, which is way below the 1.5 maximum allowed. Companies that pass these three criteria are then judged by their relative strength and only the top 50 are chosen. TrueBlue's relative strength of 83 places it in this top-50 group.

This is a beautiful, comfortable place to relax and enjoy the spectacular view of Burrard Inlet. We were a group of nine and were well-accommodated among the many bedrooms and spaces to sit and enjoy each other's company.
The home was beautiful and very comfortable. There were 8 senior ladies and it accommodated us being able to spend most of our time visiting and playing games. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for us to rest and get ready for our day. Joanne was quick in answering questions we had. We all loved the view and location. It was truly an amazing trip!!!
We had a family reunion of sorts in Vancouver over the 2015 Christmas holiday with our family, both of our son's families, one from California and one from Arizona, joining us to spend eight days with us and immediate family who reside in Vancouver.
We investigated various properties for short term rental and eventually concluded that the Dion's Bayridge property was the most central for the activities we had planned and that it could also accommodate our families comfortably (including grandchildren all under the age of 10).
We had a terrific time at the Dion home. Joanne had the home beautifully decorated, inside and out, for Christmas which immediately put everyone in festive mood. Our grandkids were especially excited when we first arrived at the Bayridge property.
The location was very central for us as it was close to our relatives in West and North Vancouver and all the activities (snow days at Cyprus, the Holiday of Lights train at Stanley Park, beachcombing, shopping, and a Canucks hockey game) we had planned.
There is no question that staying at Bayridge contributed to our family having a great 2015 Christmas holiday. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Dion's Bayridge home not only for the physical property but also the professional manner in which Joanne and her husband handled the rental process before, during, and after our stay.
We had a great family reunion at this property and the pool and hot tub was a bit hit with all the kids.
Stunning views from every room and the photos don't do it justice...
Our family of ten, with three girls under ten and four grandparents over 65, just completed our week's vacay at this wonderful home. It has everything. And if it doesn't, the owners will quickly provide as they did with a blender. The views are spectacular. The bedrooms are comfortable. The trampoline a nice benefit to tire out the kids. The kitchen is completely outfitted with all that a chef could possibly need including the blender that came in three hours! As rentals go, this is the high quality level.
This was our first trip to Vancouver and the location of this home (West Vancouver) is ideal for sightseeing or just relaxing. The house is absolutely beautiful and the views of the bay and the mountains are just amazing. You can get to Grouse Mountain, the suspension bridge, Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver in 15 to 30 minutes. We have vacationed a lot of places and this is one of the top ones for sure. We had 2 families including 5 kids and everyone loved the house and the location!!!

Microsoft on Tuesday said it would formally unveil the next wave of its enterprise products—including the long-awaited "Longhorn" version of Windows Server—in February 2008 at a launch event in Los Angeles.
In a keynote at the Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner revealed that Microsoft will launch Windows Server 2008 (formerly code-named Longhorn), Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 in Los Angeles on Feb. 27, 2008. As is customary when Microsoft rolls out major products, the event will be the first in a wave of launch events across the world.
The time frame may seem a bit off for customers expecting Windows Server 2008 to be available before the end of 2007, which is the current plan. According to Microsoft, there will be no change to this schedule, though the formal product launch won't come until next year.
How Microsoft Refused to Speak With Me About Windows Error Reporting
Turner called the trio of products the "big dogs" of Microsoft's enterprise product portfolio. "It's the biggest single launch we will have at Microsoft in one day [in 2008]," Turner said, adding that colleague Andy Lees, a corporate vice president in Microsoft's server and tools business, told him to call it a "feeding frenzy of opportunity" for partners.
"There are hundreds of billions of dollars available to you through the monetization of these products," Turner said.
While that's all well and good, one partner attending the keynote said it's sometimes a daunting task for a partner—especially a small business—to work with Microsoft to seize the opportunity Turner mentioned.
"Figuring out how to work with this organization [is] a constant struggle," said Linda Gillis, marketing director for Squirrel Systems, a British Columbia company that provides restaurant point-of-sale software and services.
She said her 175-person company has a particular challenge because while it is based in Canada, 80 percent of its sales are in the United States, so it's hard to find the right person within Microsoft to work with on sales engagements. However, "we are making headway," Gillis said. One of her goals at the partner conference is to make even more gains in this area, she said.
During his keynote, Turner reminded thousands of partners in the room that Microsoft has made a concerted effort to be more transparent about its product strategy to prepare them for releases, and reminded them of the products the company delivered in 2007. Those included Windows Vista, 40 million copies of which Turner said Microsoft delivered in the first 100 days of release, and Microsoft Office 2007.
"We talked about those products for a lot of years and they came to fruition [in 2007]," Turner said. Vista and Office are especially conducive to helping partners earn revenue, the former in particular representing a "$300 billion partner opportunity," he said.
Microsoft said about 10,000 partners are attending its annual partner conference in Denver this week. The conference runs through Thursday.

IPSC 'Super Sunday' in Sydney
Hosted at my local range (ANZAC) by Drummoyne RSL Pistol Club, the annual 'Super Sunday' comp. The first real event I've attended; I went along to watch & learn...managed to last all 7 1/2 hrs of it OK lol
Very interesting! Some of the guys competing were so fast, plus great accuracy. I can really see how much practice you'd have to do in order to attain that level of skill. Two guys from my club took part, but actually we are primarily a rifle club (which also does shotgun & metallic silhouette .22 as well as pistol and small/fullbore, the only club in the country to do multi-discipline stuff) and they happened to be the only takers for this comp on the day.
Took a few pics but mainly bad video with the vid function on my camera. Here are some Youtube links, if you can stand them:

Professional with a doctorate and a wicked sense of humor seeks the yin to my yang. I have worked hard to achieve success, top flight education, international travel and working with some of America's best and brightest, but still seek that intelligent, refined beauty to compliment and share it all with me. I seek far more than just a date - I seek a true partner in this journey. I seek someone smart, loving and mannered with a heart full of love and compassion. I have so much to give and I hope you do too. There are adventures to be had and quiet moments to share. Aren't you ready for a real man for a change?
Music: Wildly eclectic. I'm on a ska kick right now, reggae, classical, had a Debbie Harry run recently, the Clash and a growing taste for opera. I'm happy with any live music.
Movies: Repo Man, Secretary, Ted, Arsenic and Old Lace (But he looks like Karloff!), Empire Strikes Back, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (even saw this in Japan). Love movies in general.
TV: Totally hooked on Breaking Bad, amused by Sherlock, hooked on Shameless and Game of Thrones. Is Boardwalk Empire still on? The Battlestar Galactica reboot was epic.

Ok People! My ex girlfriend is 6yrs older than me and makes sure that I know it. We were together for about 1yr before she started pushing me away. I admit, I was being a "really" nice guy to her. That's just who I am. a gentleman. She started ignoring my calls and just plain out became a real bitch at times. But for some reason after I call her on it we both get turned on. This all seemed to start after we discussed our true feelings for each other. On the flip side, we shared plenty of great times together. More good than bad. Her daughter has grown attached to me like no other man that has ever been around.
We both started our own companies at the same time and grew them together. The only thing is that I would go out of my way to help her, but when I asked for a little assistance she would either ignore me or just flat out leave me hanging. I got tired of this and stopped trying to incorporate her in the plans. She began to REALLY change after that. She started doing the ol "I usually date older men" thing. She began to really push away. Finally the day came where she was just ugly toward me on the phone, but pleasant and refreshing in person. Other than an occasional lunch/dinner from time to time. Sex was still good though. That's one thing that never faded with us till our relationship ended. Ok., moving forward.
Of course we had our times of hurt after the breakup. I began to move on from her and her daughter because I didn't want that awkward bond with the kid and not her mother. I felt that if a man or woman came between us, it would hurt ALL of us. So I started moving on (dating). We are now living about 500mi apart.
I stopped calling because I wanted to heal. We didn't talk for about 6mo. Recently it just so happened that I was in the city that she lives in when she called and left a voice mail. She said that she was thinking about me and wanted to see how I was doing. I called back and she asked to meet for lunch. We both LOVE seafood, so that's what we had. It was GREAT! We laughed, teased, flirted and enjoyed the time. We spent 5hours at the restaurant if that says anything. So, She invited me to stay at her house for the weekend (guest room). Silly me said OKay. We had a blast with no drama and no past history discussions. We ended the weekend and began to talk and text a few times a week after for about 1 month after. Then all of a sudden she started ignoring my calls and stuff again. Now I don't even call anymore. She called the other day and asked for some help on an issue. I refused to help and all hell broke loose. I still love/care about her but I gotta heal and move on.
So?! What does she REALLY want? Is she playing some game or still confused. I don't get it. Am I missing something?!
Most Helpful Girl
I know this behavior. I will make it short though. Your ex was probably hurt before, or she had bad relationship experiences. She is afraid of getting hurt again so she plays these games on you to test how far you would go to be with her. I know it doesn't make sense. You sound like the type of guy who was always there for her, and did everything you could for her. She liked it, alot. And was probably afraid of getting used to it, or afraid that someday you would stop, and therefore she started testing you, by ignoring you, etc. She wasnt ignoring you because she wanted to, she wanted to know how many times you would call or what you would do to get ahold of her. If she still calls you now, etc, then she obviously still loves you. But she doesn't want to be the one running after you. She wants YOU to make the moves. And as soon as you start to (show her some love and attention), she starts being mean again, to see if you will still stick around. And when you don't stick around, or you quit calling, she calls you. that means she misses you, or she wants to hear ur voice to see if you miss her. etc. like when she asked for your help and you refused, she got mad because it hurt her feelings. She was probably expecting you to jump on it and help her, but since you did otherwise, she probably felt like you don't care about her anymore.
I know it still doesn't make any sense, or if it does, I know it is really childish. but women with relationship issues, or emotional issues, tend to behave this way. I know a lot of women who act the way your ex does.
Your ex either wants to be with you still, or she is afraid of losing in this "game" she started, and thatz why she still calls you, etc.
If you still love her and want to be with her, itz going to be tough, but you're gona have to give her lots, and I mean, lots of attention. Do more than you normally do for her. Its not healthy, for anyone. but that is what your ex wants. She wants reassurance. She wants to know you will ALWAYS be there, in whatever situation.
I suggest (it might not work but.) you talk to her. Ask her why she does the things she does. Why does she ignore you, and PUSH YOU AWAY. Don't ask her if she really wants you to leave her, because she will lie and say, leave if you want to. She won't open up right away, but if you show her that you are truly concerned, and that you want to make it work, then she will eventually talk. Maybe say admit that she is afraid. of falling inlove. or getting hurt or both. maybe she doesn't want to feel abandoned again?
But if you choose to move on for real, then don't answer her calls anymore. Try to get a new number or something. If she still won't leave you alone, tell her to stop contacting you and to help you move on.
You sound like a nice guy, and you deserve someone who won't play games, but. you sound happy with this chick too, when all is good. so. I hope the best for you.11|00|0
Okay I'm kinda in the SAME sort of siuation with my ex BOYFRIEND he was hurt by his first love she cheated on him that was like 5 years ago..so he brokeup with me a month ago and he kept on texting and calling me till recently..i miss him SO much and want him back but if it's meant to be it'll be...HE has to show me he TRULY wants me back...not just saying it

Story: Jewish accountant Matt Friedman met Sally Talley, a nurse and member of a prominent Protestant family in Lebanon, Missouri, in her home town while vacationing in the Ozarks region in 1943. A year later, Matt returns from his home in St. Louis determined to ask Sally to marry him.
It won't be easy, though. He spent just one week with her a year earlier, and since then has corresponded primarily with her aunt, as Sally has answered just one of Matt's many missives in the interim. That hasn't dissuaded the lonely, 42-year-old Matt, however, nor has the fact that Sally is 11 years younger.
On the Fourth of July, Matt returns to Lebanon, to the gazebo boathouse Sally's uncle built years ago. It was one of several of the elder Tally's 'follies,' according to neighbors. Sally, though, always has admired her late uncle's independent spirit, something different from the narrow strictures of acceptance locally, which certainly do not include Jews in 1944.
Highlights: Playwright Lanford Wilson, who died in 2011, was born in Lebanon in 1937, and set his Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of 1979 in that familiar locale. Wilson has Matt proclaim at the beginning of the single act that he has "93 minutes" to tell his story to the audience, and Matt does exactly that, with the notable assistance of Sally, the other character in this charming period piece.
While there are reflections and observations about the world at large, including Matt's own experiences with persecution in Europe before his immigration to America, primarily this is a small story that concentrates on two lonely people who come from different cultures but share a bond of solitary confinement in their environs which they had thought was permanent. The warmth and vulnerability of Matt and Sally, evoked with convincing performances by Shaun Sheley and Meghan Maguire, are effectively realized in director Deanna Jent's handsome rendition of Wilson's poignant tale.
Other Info: Jent paces those 93 minutes in fluid fashion, precisely moving her two players around a splendid set designed by Jason Coale that is so emblematic of a small boathouse that you can practically smell the river upon which it sits. Properties master Peggy Knock furnishes the sturdy structure with appropriate accoutrements that fill the rafters and the plank floor in Coale's design, bracketed with various thistles and reeds.
Nathan Schroeder's lighting delicately frames the action on stage, Robin Weatherall provides subtle, underpinning sounds and Michele Friedman Siler dresses both characters in their finest attire, despite mid-summer heat.
Jent's two performers then carefully depict a chess match of helter-skelter moves as their two characters traipse through an awkward and painful dance, circling each other warily as they venture to reveal their hearts. Sheley is the more willing participant. After all, Matt has driven 200 miles on a determined whim to seek this woman who has sparked in him the notion that true love still is possible, despite everything he has endured. Sheley keeps Matt in check, within his meticulous three-piece suit, but allows fissures in his façade to slowly crack in his yearning for Sally.
Maguire brings a steely resolve to Sally, a nurse accustomed to caring for wounded soldiers, some terminal, who have returned from the war. She is used to saying what she knows may not be true as part of the comfort she offers. Her own life has had its share of disappointments since she fell from grace as the likely future wife of the high school basketball star who was the scion of the town's other wealthy family.
Maguire summons plenty of anger, cynicism and disappointment, all of which have alienated Sally from the townsfolk and labeled her a firebrand who supports union rights and was even seen in the company of a big-city Jew a year earlier.
It's important to view the setting of Talley's Folly as a particular place in a specific period. The romance of Matt and Sally, however, knows no boundaries except the limits each of us sets in safeguarding our 'egg shells' of existence which Matt perceptibly observes. New Jewish Theatre describes Talley's Folly as its 'valentine' to patrons for the holidays. Take a chance and open it.

Connecticut Auto Body Shops Awarded Millions in Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act Class Action Against The Hartford
In a closely-watched Connecticut state court action that has dragged on for almost ten years, on June 5, Waterbury Superior Court Judge Alfred Jennings ordered The Hartford to pay $20 million in punitive damages to a class of auto body shops, finding that the insurer had "knowingly and purposefully" violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. The punitive damages award is in addition to an award of $14.7 million in compensatory damages awarded to the plaintiffs during a jury trial in the matter conducted in 2009, and is reportedly the largest award ever under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The case, Artie's Auto Body v. The Hartford, centered upon a claim that The Hartford had influenced insurance appraisers, who are required by statute to provide unbiased estimates of repair costs, to utilize below-market hourly labor rates in their calculations. The appraisers' conduct resulted in a reduction in the compensation paid to the plaintiffs when making repairs for the insurer's insureds. Plaintiffs alleged that the Hartford's conduct violated public policy and thus was unlawful under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The court's punitive damages ruling comes approximately four years after a jury found that The Hartford's efforts to induce the appraisers to violate the "code of ethics" that Connecticut law imposes upon them constituted "unfair" conduct under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. Notably, pretrial, the court had rejected The Hartford's argument that because the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act is based upon Section 5 of the FTC Act, and the FTC has issued enforcement guidelines indicating that a Section 5 violation should require a showing of "substantial injury to consumers," this requirement should be implied into the Connecticut statute as well. (The FTC's modification to its Section 5 enforcement guidelines occurred almost twenty years after the Connecticut statute was enacted; no corresponding change to the Connecticut statute was subsequently made.)
The Hartford filed a series of post-trial motions and motions for reconsideration seeking to have the 2009 jury verdict vacated, ultimately without success. In May of this year, Judge Jennings issued his final ruling on the motions, setting the stage for the court's consideration of plaintiffs' request for punitive damages. Finding that The Hartford had exhibited a "heavy dose of control" over the erstwhile independent appraisers and that The Hartford's acts reflected a "knowing and purposeful disregard" of the Connecticut statute prohibiting efforts to influence them, in a June 5 opinion Judge Jennings awarded plaintiffs $20 million in punitive damages. In deciding upon this amount, Judge Jennings explained that he was taking into account "the large net worth of The Hartford" and that the award needed to be large enough to have meaningful "deterrent motivation" going forward.
In response to the court's ruling, The Hartford immediately filed an appeal with the Connecticut appellate court. In its appeal, The Hartford is likely to renew the argument that, because the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act is patterned on Section 5, it should be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with current Section 5 jurisprudence (a view that has been embraced by the courts in several other states in similar circumstances). Given the significance of the case, and the issue generally, it can be expected that the matter will ultimately be required to be heard by the Connecticut Supreme Court. Stay tuned.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 15)
Israeli officials believe that the Big Four talks on the Middle East will continue despite the apparent failure of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko to persuade President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to accept a reported compromise plan. Mr. Gromyko, who made a surprise visit to Cairo last week, spent three days in consultations with President Nasser and other Egyptian officials. According to various reports, his purpose was to test Egyptian reaction to proposals made by the United States.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad said Mr. Gromyko brought five separate proposals, one from each of the powers participating in the talks and the fifth from a committee of Big Four deputies working group formed during the meetings of the Big Four ambassadors to the United Nations. Some sources said Mr. Gromyko sought President Nasser's approval of a highly general interim statement to be issued by the U.S., Russia, Britain and France before they recess their talks for the summer.
A joint communique made public after Mr. Gromyko left Cairo on Friday declared that a settlement of the Middle East conflict would require adherence to "all parts and provisions" of the Security Council's Nov. 22,1967 Mideast resolution. But the Gromyko-Nasser communique referred specifically only to the resolution's call for an Israeli withdrawal from the territories occupied during the June, 1967 Six-Day War.
In the communique, the Soviet Union reiterated "full support" for Egypt and the other Arab governments involved in the dispute. It maintained that despite demands from some Arabs for a new war against Israel, Cairo continued to support the search for a peaceful settlement through the UN resolution and favored international endeavors to bring it about.
Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban denounced the Gromyko-Nasser communique as a "deplorable document" that contained "hostility in every line" and was "a new blow to peace." He said the policies proclaimed by the conferees were the same ones that were emphatically rejected by the UN General Assembly when presented there on June 13,1967. Mr. Eban said the document proved that Egypt and Soviet Russia were responsible for immobility and rigidity" which have "blocked all efforts to turn away from the tensions and rancors of the past toward a peaceful future." Mr. Eban said Israel held firmly to its position calling for free negotiations without prior conditions on all matters at issue. He said there was "no international authority for the proposal to restore the position and lines of June 4, 1967" the day before the outbreak of the Six-Day War. "Israel," he said, "will never agree to put herself again in that position of peril and vulnerability."
(Diplomatic sources abroad said the U.S. proposal carried to Cairo by Mr. Gromyko called for the creation of "a mood of settlement" by the signing of a contractual agreement which would be followed by Israel's withdrawal to mutually agreed borders and a solution of the Palestine refugee problem with U.S. assistance. According to these sources, the U.S. viewed its proposals going a long way toward Israel's demand for a negotiated agreement while allowing the Arabs to save face by not requiring them to enter into direct talks with the Israelis.
(Sources in Washington said that the U.S. envisioned only minor rectifications of the borders that existed prior to the 1967 war which would provide Israel with secure boundaries but would not "reflect the weight of conquest." The U.S. proposal which President Nasser reportedly rejected would have had Israel withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank but would leave the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem open to future negotiation. State Department officials disclosed in Washington on Friday that the U.S. presented "some concrete ideas" on the Mideast to Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin on May 26. It was presumably these that Mr. Gromyko conveyed to Cairo.) Israeli officials said today that the Gromyko-Nasser communique made it clear that Soviet Mideast policy is in effect dictated by President Nasser, not the other way around.
