>Racing>Sub-90 Minutes for the Half Marathon (2012)
Good luck sorting your calf Redgraffle. At least you figured out a shoe issue before the race and not during.
Heelgrad92 up this weekend in Wrightsville. Looks like you've been putting in some good work. Good luck...
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
Do I get to be on the list even though I forgot to add my race before hand, or no?
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?
Just a girl who runs.
Do I get to be on the list even though I forgot to add my race before hand, or no?
Since you crushed it and all, and the smuttynose robust porter is just kicking in....sure.
I was DNS at the Tom King half last weekend.
My races were close, but not quite, on target for BQ. I decided to step it up and run everything just a little harder to try and hit BQ in April.
Result: stress fracture in my fibula.
Six weeks in the pool and I will slowly work my way back. There is definitely a sub-90 in store for 2012, but it is going to have to be later in the year.
Nashville, TN
Result: stress fracture in my fibula.
Sorry to hear it. Good luck on the comeback. Will look for you later this year...
Can you add me too please?
My PR is about 1:37 right now but that was a couple years back and have since made major gains on my 5k and Marathon.
Have the Campus to Campus half marathon April 1 in which I'll be looking to be about 1:33-1:34 and then shoot for sub 1:30 later in the year.
2014 Goals
Weight - 200 lbs (stuck around 211)
2000 miles (1700 as of September 10)
Stay healthy for Boston 2015
Marathon - 3:05 (St. George in October)
5k - 19:55 (19:43 July 4, 2014)
Since you crushed it and all, and the smuttynose robust porter is just kicking in....sure.
Heh. That'll do it!
Go Pre!
Good luck sorting your calf Redgraffle. At least you figured out a shoe issue before the race and not during.
Heelgrad92 up this weekend in Wrightsville. Looks like you've been putting in some good work. Good luck...
Cheers - 2 runs since and no problems so well chuffed. Had a great 4 mile tempo run today at 6.34 min/mile which has given me great confidence for getting under 95 mins in a weeks time
2012 Goals:
Sub 90 minute Half Marathon - (1.44 disaster in March)
Sub 19 minute 5km
Sub 40 mins 10km - (42.08 in early May on tough course)
Break 1,000 miles for the year for the first time ever...
Finish a marathon - time not important
Sub 1:30 is my goal for 2012 too. I mean WAS
You're such a 5 second upper. Gah.
Candice .. congrats on your sub-90 .. and for your fantastic write-up on your blog. It was truly an inspirational read.
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
Ugh. 1:30:11 at National Half in DC. Better tangents would have done it. A little more aggressive on the hills, maybe. Maybe not. Any easier course perhaps. Or was it that 50k I ran two weeks ago. Whatevs. I gave it what I had and Boston's the real prize. Still . . .
oh, i've been lurking
Oh not good - had a disaster of a long run on Saturday. Under pressure right from the start. I hope it was a result of a lot of tough sessions recently but confidence took a hammering during the 15 - 20 mins walking I did !!!!
Worst run in memory and as it happened a week before my race am hoping that a gentle taper will recharge the batteries nicely...
So annoyed haven't even filled in the training report yet - too depressed...
First run since it this evening so hoping to feel great and I can put the bad run down to fatigue
Back from vacation.
Nice run Daddyo, really nice run...but I'm not backdating the list anymore. You gots to be in to win.
Save Cheevers, MTHRFK that's close. Damn. Future race you want to be in for?
Redgraffle. Shake it off, you'll be alright.
Heelgrad, any comments on last weekend's race before I put ink on the result?
Good luck to CodeRunner coming up this weekend as well...
You're such a 5 second upper. Gah.
I only 1 seconded you last weekend!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 18, 2009) — Scorewithcater, who beat eventual Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by a neck in the Borderland Derby at Sunland Park in February, returns to Hollywood Park for Saturday's $100,000 Affirmed Handicap.
Now flirting with Grade III company in the Affirmed, Scorewithcater ran in the claiming ranks here last fall, finishing second for a tag of $50,000 before being claimed for $40,000 by Robert Master from a winning effort.
He has finished ahead of the Kentucky Derby winner twice since then. Following the Borderland Derby victory, the son of Even the Score finished third in the $900,000 Sunland Park Derby, a neck in front of Mine That Bird in fourth.
Scorewithcater, a winner of four of ten starts and $233,720, tested Grade II company in his last outing, finishing fifth in the Peter Pan over 1 1/8 miles at Belmont Park in May. He will break from the five-post under Joseph Talamo in the 1 1/16-mile Affirmed, which lines up as follows:
Misremembered, with Victor Espinoza up, carries 114 pounds; Grazen, Rafael Bejarano, 114; Cape Truth, Alonso Quinonez, 114; Quindici Man, Joel Rosario, 114; Scorewithcater, Talamo, 116, and Fiddlers Afleet, Martin Garcia, 113.
Doug O'Neill, the trainer of Scorewithcater, will also saddle lightly-raced Cape Truth. The son of Cape Town has won two of four starts. Most recently, he finished fifth in the Lone Star Park Derby.
Grazen, trained by Mike Mitchell for Nick Alexander, has won two straight races at Hollywood Park since finishing tenth in his career debut last fall. The California-bred son of Benchmark won the NTRA Stakes on Gold Rush Day before beating open company in an allowance race at 1 1/16 miles in May.
Misremembered, a son of Candy Ride trained by part-owner Bob Baffert, is also two-for-three.
Quindici Man, a son of 2002 Affirmed winner Came Home, has won three of 11 starts while finishing second on four occasions. In his most recent start, the Craig Lewis-trained colt finished fifth in the Lazaro S. Barrera Memorial Stakes.
Fiddlers Afleet, a New York-bred son of Northern Afleet, has won once while finishing in the money in seven of nine starts. He was fifth in the San Rafael in January while making his lone graded stakes start to date. This will be his second start under the care of trainer David Hofmans.
The Affirmed will be run as the ninth of ten races on Saturday's program at HollywoodPark. First post time is 1 p.m.

The serial number on it reads HM 31199. I was wondering if anyone could determine the year of this bow by the serial numbers. The guy said he's had it for 8 years but a previous guy had it but he didn't know how long. I can get it for 175.00. Is this a decent deal on a used Howatt? Thanks in advance for any help. Tradrick

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Easton XL2 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL13X28? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Which bat would have a larger sweet spot and more pop, this one ore the Combat Wanted -8 WANSL108?
Both the Easton XL2 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL13X28) and the 2014 COMBAT Wanted Senior League Baseball Bat (WANSL108) would have similar peak performance levels or "pop" due to safety ratings on the bats. However, the XL2 will have a more extended barrel for a larger sweet spot and will feature an end-loaded feel which can lead to more power if the player is able to swing it well.
Are you going to get the Easton XL2 SL13X28 in different sizes?
The Easton XL2 (SL13X28) Senior League is a discontinued bat, so the size listed is the only size available. We will not be getting any more sizes because the bat has been discontinued.
Will the XL2 be in the 2015 series?
We have not received any information from Easton as to whether the XL2 will be featured in this year's lineup. It was not featured in 2014 so they may decide not to but I can't answer yes or no.
Product Description
The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The XL2 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
About Easton
Holy Cow, that's great service. I look forward to using the bat in my over thirty league game this coming sunday. Great job.

I like to take photos of things. Mostly peoples. Mostly pretty peoples, if I'm honest. But sometimes toys, or dogs, or maybe a tree. Y'know, interesting stuff.
I shoot a few burlesque shows, but that's just to kill time between photoshoots with models, where I can control the light and the pose and the magic.
My photos will have the tag "my photo". Otherwise, it's stolen from the vast wilderness that is the internet. I usually source pics from Model Mayhem, Flickr or We <3 it.
You wanna look me up elsewhere?
can i just have your relationship please? i love you guys :)

No, I haven't been picked on recently — but here's a tale of what did happen nearly 70 years ago.
Just before World War II ended, former Patterson Irrigator Editor Elwyn Hoffman was mired in a predicament. He had patriotically purchased too many war bonds.
Hoffman came here and founded this newspaper in 1911. For health reasons, he sold it seven years later, moved to Middleton near Napa and homesteaded a parcel of property four miles out of town, where he built a two-room cabin and lived by himself.
After his newspaper days, Hoffman became a rural mail carrier in Middleton and thus earned a small pension upon his retirement. It amounted to $47 a month. He had also purchased $800 worth of war bonds in increments of $25 each since the start of the war.
But the law at the time limited pension recipients to owning a bond total of only $600. Hoffman was forced to decide between returning $200 worth of bonds or forfeiting his pension and paying back $752 he had received since exceeding the $600 bond limit.
The San Francisco papers reported his dilemma. The Irrigator then picked up the story, quoting Hoffman as saying, "I bought the bonds by putting patch upon patch upon my clothes, going without a lot of things I wanted to buy, and sacrificing the way our government told us we'd have to sacrifice to win.
"I could have spent the money on liquor or in a card game and it would have been all right. But I got too many war bonds," Hoffman lamented.
Gov. Earl Warren promised to look into the matter, but the final solution wasn't reported.
Getting tired
When you get to be my age, and I may also be speaking for others here, many things make me tired.
I get tired of solicitation calls during the evening meal.
I get tired of having friends depart, going to funerals and stocking up on sympathy cards.
I get tired of two times of the day being the most important — taking my pills in the morning and again in the evening.
I get tired of misplacing things.
I get tired of my belt shrinking.
I get tired of the grass growing so fast.
I occasionally — but not always — get tired of the deadline rolling around for this column.
I get — zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
From the mailbag
Hey Swifty: How come we don't read much these days about HM (Housemate) or even your buddy Bob "Spokie" Kimball? Are these two still with us? — 'Quirin'
Dear Q: Yes, both are very much with us. I occasionally run into HM around the house, but during the spring she's usually outside gardening while I'm inside hiding out. Besides, I get the distinct impression she dislikes reading her name in Fast Talk.
As for The Spoke, he too is out enjoying the spring weather, but on his two-wheeler, putting the rest of us to shame. He's logged so many miles in the past 23 years that he's worn out a calculator. Maybe two.
But, I have to give the guy credit — grudgingly. Last year, while cycling over on the coast, he messed up his face big time when he got in the way of a condor or an eagle or maybe a seagull, depending on the story.
The bird didn't fare well, either. And Bob is now on the "10 Most Wanted" list of the Audubon Society.
You don't want to mess with birds.
In mourning
Members of the Knights of the Square Table are mourning the loss of Allister Allen, who died early Wednesday, April 10. Allister was the last "charter" member of the local coffee group, who attended the morning sessions since its beginning in 1984 until the first of this year. Rites are pending.
More learnin'
Well, not much more. Our educational offerings are curtailed this week. A substitute teacher has not assigned homework.
For the sports fan
Who among local basketball fans would have expected the Drury Panthers to beat the Metro State Roadrunners for the NCAA Division II title — a game to which all fans were allowed free admission? Certainly not me.
And finally…
I was asked just the other day what I enjoy about serving as curator of our downtown museum.
My answer was simple: I enjoy watching the town go 'round and 'round.
Have a nice quiet weekend, aided by some of Patterson's Boy Scouts being off camping.

Pisces Fisheries Inc. of Wheatley, Ontario, was fined $5,000 for fishing illegally in Ohio waters, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Pisces Fisheries was sentenced by the Ottawa County Municipal Court in Port Clinton on Dec. 21 by Magistrate Louis P. Wargo III.
"This was a great multi-agency response," said Gino Barna, ODNR Division of Wildlife law supervisor for the Lake Erie Law Enforcement Unit. "Gill nets have not been a major issue on Lake Erie in recent years because of the cooperation with other agencies. Because of this support network, incidents like this do not go undetected, and Ohio's resources are better protected."

1. We've landed, I'm really ready to depart from these Swedish businessmen I'm sitting next to.
2. That was a fast check-in at customs, I like this country.
3. It feels like Jurassic Park here, weather wise, patiently waiting for Velociraptor noise so I can re-enact final scenes of movie.
4. They had really good food in Jurassic Park's visitor center.
5. Sao Paulo is enormous, it goes on forever on all sides and there are buildings on buildings on buildings.
6. Cabs don't except cash, hmmm, ATM time.
7. My room is a smoking room, change that up.
8. The water pressure in Sao Paolo is painful. It hurts so good.
9. Enough of this, let's get out there mang.
10. I stick out in this city like a sore thumb, it's not a problem, but it's different.
11. We meet our Sao Paolo guides, Tattoo from VICE and the team from Papo de Homem. They're chill.
12. I've been hungry for hours, the locals are taking us to a local spot.
13. The restaurant, Mercearia São Pedro is small and looks like it has the potential to be "one of those places" but we trust our guides decision. It also sells books and DVD's…
14. Veronica, style editor at Papo de Homem orders us a round of Caipirinhas, which taste like sugar.
15. We order the mains and fill up on some of the best rice and beans I've ever had.
16. Crap, the mains aren't here and I'm already full.
17. Oh shit, mains are here.
18. Fried bacon, Double fried chicken, rump steaks, eggs, pretty much all proteins under the sun are in front of me.
19. Die of happiness.
20. Am resurrected by fried bacon.
21. Tattoo takes us for a quick walk around the city, there is street art everywhere.
22. Simko wants to go shopping and we find this store called Farm, covered in greens and full of cool kids.
23. Time to peace to Ibirapuerra park to bum around for a while.
24. We mingle a little bit with locals, who label us as tourists within a second, but that's what we are.
25. They're balancing on wires between trees with ease, infinitely cooler than the typical Central Park thoroughfare.
26. After some chilling, a walk and a sunset, we head home and rest before more glorious glorious food.
27. Brazilian food leaves little to be wanted—the meat is amazing, the sides are plentiful and if you want it fried it can be. Caipirinhas and beers for all with dinner while a Brazilian band covers Adele. Weird, but welcoming.
28. Nord and Simko are playing with construction equipment.
29. Sao Paulo is full of hills, like San Francisco and as we walk to grab a drink after dinner, time is catching up with us.
30. Back home for the night after a few drinks (I ordered what is apparently a non-alcoholic beer after dinner because I'm real cool).
So we've been in São Paulo for one day and are about to peace out for day 2. I'll share plenty of pictures etc. from the trip soon, but as promised here's some of the Brazilian history I wanted to share. Brazil is similar to the U.S. in that it's own culture is made up of many others—you know, the whole melting pot idea. That extends beyond the people and into all aspects of the country, in this case, mythology. Since much of this trip will be focused on sailing, the beach and the ocean, I took a look at Iemanjá, a sea goddess who originated in Africa but found her way to Brazil. Traditionally, she watches over fishermen and survivors of shipwrecks and is also the spirit of the moon. In the state of São Paulo, she is celebrated in early December and parades with gifts travel to the sea to a statue of her near the shore to give gifts in her honor. Pretty sweet.

This Sunday, I'm peacing out for Brazil with Puma, popular German sports brand named after the legendary cat. I'll be shipping out with Simko, Josh, Travis, James and Chung.
To keep with my usual style of posting, I'll be taking a look at Brazilian literature, folklore and mythology which has proved to be pretty interesting. On top of that, I'll be taking mad photos and covering their team in a big race of the boats because I just spent all my money on a camera. That said, I'll be sharing as much of the culture as I can soak up while I'm down there.
The Puma team has their own tumblr you can follow over at: http://pumasailing.tumblr.com/

Currently on a train back home to New York. In a quick ode to that there video I made, here's a gif of Prada Fall 2012. Prints on prints on prints makes Homer go something something.
Note: these look much better if you view them here.
Today, I'm continuing my adoration ofGame of Throneswith another character from the North. Arya Stark is Ned Stark's youngest daughter and stands in stark contrast to his eldest, Sansa. Sansa is preoccupied with her girlish pursuites whereas tomboy Arya is more interested in swordplay and fighting. Her father encourages this and is very proud of her enthusiasm for warfare, he being a soldier himself. At the end of season one/book one, Arya is heading North for The Wall with the late King's bastard son and has slowly started to develop a blood lust. Arya, not one to be trifled with.

Rise and shine kiddos. For the past few weeks, I've been working on this video. Last night, after 6 straight episodes of Game of Thrones, I finally finished. I took a few of my favorite fall 2012 collections and animated up right nice. They're not necessarily my top collections from all over but they're all great. Press play, hope you like it.

A couple weeks ago, I had just returned home from vacation. After passing out post travel at about 9:30 on Saturday night, I woke up at 7:30 on Sunday morning. With most of the city still asleep, there wasn't much I could do to entertain myself, until I remembered Mr. Porter's treasure hunt with the Gold Run iPhone app. So I showered up and headed out.
While the rest of the world was fixed on the premiere of Mad Men last night and whistling "Zou Bisou Bisou" this morning, I find myself more excited for the return of Game of Thrones on HBO. So much so, that I figured there would be no better time to post on a few of the characters. Let's begin with the HBIC of the North, Lady Stark. As we left season 1, she was a recent widow of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell. After making war upon the Lannisters for their attempt on her son's life, she now stirs with even more anger. A confrontation is most certainly at hand, but Lady Stark has a valuable bargaining chip against the Lannisters, their most prized son, Jaime. War looms in the Seven Kingdoms and Lady Stark will no doubt play an important and badass role.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of A Wrinkle in Time, me and 49 other web people are taking part in 50 days of 50 blogs. I love books.
If you went to school in the U.S., chances are you've read, or at least heard of A Wrinkle in Time. I actually didn't read this in school because I was in the remedial reading program and this was for "advanced" kids. Advanced my ass, take that, nerds.
Happy new year to you guys. Over my long, actually, very long break, I went and saw The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was certainly worth my $9.50 and if you've seen it you'll understand what I mean when I say it affected me long after I left the theater. Sheesh. For those unfamiliar, the story is all about a journalist and a hacker/investigator who uncover a grizzly history of serial killings and seek revenge upon a .01 percenter. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it and if you haven't read it you probably should. While watching it, I thought Lisbeth would make a great character post and many people have requested her, so here you go. Of course, in reality (fiction reality?) Lisbeth probably wouldn't care.
Full image after jump, y'all have fun.
And now, we're finally caught up on my posts for Esquire. Hope you like this one. It's always a lot tougher to style people who actually lived, feels like you owe them a lot more work. Just a thought.

Me and a few other bloggers who write about the fashunz styled some holiday looks for Park & Bond. We ate lots of cheese while looking over the racks and of course I saw that Junya and flipped out. Check out the site for the rest of the looks and to shop all you want. Let's get our apres ski on.

Everybody has come across a Veruca Salt in their lives. You know the type: bitchy, rich and ungrateful. Makes me mad just thinking about it. You'll remember Veruca from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she's the greedy brat that always wants more. First she wants a golden ticket, then she wants a golden goose then she starts yammering on about some bean feast and 10,000 tons of ice cream. Of course, like all imbalanced children that visit Willie Wonka's factory, she gets her just desserts AND I AIN'T TALKIN' CHOCOLATE.

Taking suggestions for a new character post, who would you guys like to see?
I respect your admiration for The Hunger Games but haven't read them so let's keep the Katniss requests to a minimum.
Look at them shoes dance. Dance shoes, dance!
Well, to be fair, the Disney versions are adaptations of classics.
You can find the stories in the original texts by Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, etc. A lot of them are just old folk tales.
So, knowing how big of a fan of Twilight I am, this post has been a long time coming. Like Bram Stoker's vampires, Anne Rice's are pretty badass. One of the the most interesting is Claudia. Unlike the rest of her kind, Claudia was made a vampire before she was an adult which leaves her to be a child for eternity. At first, that's cool and her vampire fathers Lestat and Louis spoil her to no end. She ensnares her prey by being an angelic young child, often lost or in need. She murders at will and without care, ugh, kids. As decades wear on, Claudia becomes frustrated that she'll never experience life as an adult. Her frustration turns to blind rage and she murders Lestat (but he don't die!) and she and Louis flee to Europe to find more about their vampire roots. In Paris, the pair revel in culture and the arts before finding a troupe of vampires who pretend to be humans who pretend to be vampires to trick their prey. After it is revealed that Louis and Claudia killed Lestat, the theatrical vampires condemn Claudia to death by sunshine. I hate sunshine too. For those concerned for Louis, he lives, but is forever haunted by the death of Claudia. Try to keep in mind what a spoiled child with really good taste would wear…

By now, you probably know that I'm a big fan of Jack Spade. I'd wager to say that most of my wardrobe is from there and although a hefty amount of that came from when I worked there, I'm still pretty loyal.
Another brand I'm loyal to? Coca-cola, because this is America and I am an American. True, I may fancy a Pepsi every now and then but you can't have a burger without a Coke and you definitely can't have a steak sandwich from La Esquina without one, blasphemy.
So today, when I heard the 2 had joined forces to celebrate Coca-Cola's 125th anniversary, I was stoked. The pieces I'm most excited for? The hat, the tote, the iphone case and the t-shirt. Will I look like a Jack Spade x Coca-Cola evangelist? Yes. Do I care? Yes, because I love them both.
You can look at the rest of the collab on the newly redesigned (lookin' good) Jack Spade website.
Here's more crap that I want:

Princess Zelda is the HBIC of Hyrule. Together with Link, she must protect the kingdom from Ganon, the evil wizard/pig. This time, I decided to focus in on Zelda during The Ocarina of Time which remains to be one of my favorite video games to date. When we first meet Zelda she is young and becomes childhood friends with Link. Naturally, when we travel forward in time, she is older and wiser. She spends half of her adulthood disguised as Sheikh of the Sheikah tribe. When disguised, she helps guide Link in his quest to vanquish evil. Finally, she is revealed as the strong, wise and triforce wielding Princess Zelda. WOOO!!! NINTENDO!!!

Lydia Deets is one of my favorite apathetic characters ever. Having watched Beetlejuice many times in my childhood, I like to think that her general negative attitude toward everything rubbed off on me. I can only my children grow up with the same pessimistic outlook. Anyway, Lydia finds herself stuck in Connecticut with her frantic mother and simple father. Little do they know, their new home is where the ghosts of Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis live, isn't that fun? Lydia forms a relationship with them and has various misadventures in the netherworld where she runs into Beetlejuice. I'm a little hazy on the details but there are sandworms and witch doctors and almost a wedding. Also, the cartoon version was great.

Everybody knows a Luna Lovegood type, they're that one quirky friend you have that you sometimes wish would stop talking but at the same time, you never want them to shut up. Well, maybe that's a little harsh, let's leave it at your one quirky friend. Of course, when it comes to Harry Potter, there is much more to Luna than meets the eye and she becomes instrumental in bringing down Voldemort. She's easily one of the most entertaining characters in the story. So give it up for LL.

Notre Dame of Maryland University's Gormley Gallery presents Contested Divisions, an exhibition of images made from the materials of photography and that employ mixed media to explore the medium's indexical mode.
Contested Divisions, part of the Artscape Gallery Network, features the work of artists Elizabeth Crisman, Amy Finkelstein, Todd Forsgren, Muriel Hasbun, Kyle Tata, and Ding Ren, and is curated by Geoff Delanoy.
A reception will be held on Friday, July 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The Artscape Gallery Network connects more than 20 Baltimore galleries to a wider audience through a promotional campaign sponsored by M&T Bank and provides art lovers with an extended opportunity to enjoy Baltimore's talented artists before, during and after the festival weekend.
Medieval painters often filled their manuscripts with scenes of everyday life that included charming illuminations of people and animals playing musical instruments and dancing. Many of these images, however, functioned as sophisticated symbols that conveyed a complex understanding of man's relationship with the order of the universe. Musical harmony and dissonance were thought to mirror the perfection of heaven as well as the disorder of evil. This exhibition, composed of approximately twenty manuscripts and objects, will explore music in its relationship with philosophy, religion, and the arts during the Middle Ages.

Leadership Perspectives: Insights from General Charles Wald on America's Response to 9/11
Originally posted September 2011.
As part of our commemoration of the tragic events of the terrorists' attacks on our country, Tom Captain, vice chairman and U.S. Aerospace & Defense leader, Deloitte LLP and Global Aerospace & Defense leader, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, sat down with General Charles Wald, USAF retired, Director, Deloitte Services LP, and Leader of Deloitte's Department of Defense Practice, Federal Government Services, to remember our friends, colleagues, and family members impacted by this tragedy.
A retired four-star General, and former deputy commander for U.S. European Command, responsible for the Armed forces of the United States and 93 countries in the African and European continents, General Wald was among the top military leadership responsible for planning and executing Operation Enduring Freedom, our nation's response to the attacks of 9/11.
Take a few minutes to watch General Wald's story of Operation Enduring Freedom – and specifically the events that transpired in the days following September 11th leading up to and during the first days of the Afghanistan military conflict.

Jason Daniel Poston, 30, of Cartersville, was arrested at the State Probation Office Friday morning in connection with the case, according to a Bartow County Sheriff's Office release.
The case began when the family of Michael Allen McIntyre reported him missing from his Cartersville home on May 24 — he was last seen May 18. Investigators discovered a body — believed to be that of McIntyre — on May 30 on rural farm property in Kingston.
Investigators believe Poston had assistance from at least one other person in hiding and disposing of the body on the property. More arrests are expected.
Poston is charged with concealing the death of another person, abandonment of a dead body and probation violation. He was being held without bond Friday afternoon.
BCSO Sgt. Jonathan Rogers said Poston may appear in front of a magistrate judge this morning, but he will go to a probation revocation hearing prior to release for an appearance.
