GE Capital Aviation Service signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) yesterday at the Farnborough Airshow with CFM International to participate in the engine manufacturer's new product offering for leasing companies, called Portable Maintenance for Lessors (PML). The final agreement should be complete by year-end, the companies said.

The trend over the last few years in which customers have placed extremely large orders for airliners has raised questions about the underlying reasons and its potential effect on OEMs that continue to raise production rates in response. The practice seems most prevalent among customers for narrowbodies, prompting both Boeing and Airbus to project rate increases to well beyond 40 in the coming years and raising concerns within some circles of a so-called bubble in the sector.
Boeing's 737 MAX program picked up further market momentum yesterday as a pair of high-profile leasing companies–GECAS and ALAFCO–committed to a total of 120 airplanes worth almost $11 billion at list prices.
The larger of the two deals, inked by U.S. leasing giant GECAS, covered 75 of the future CFM International Leap 1B-powered narrowbodies, as well as 25 of the current single-aisle 737NGs.
The four panelists participating in the last session held at the March 19 to 20 International Society of Transport Aircraft Traders (ISTAT) conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., reacted to what CIT Group Transportation Finance president and panel moderator Jeffrey Knittel called the "mega order syndrome" with mixed but carefully considered opinions, while most attendees appeared concerned about an
GE Capital Aviation Services (Gecas) announced last month that it placed an order for another two ATR 72-600s, along with options for a further two, from the Franco-Italian turboprop manufacturer. The order follows Gecas' first-ever ATR order placed in June at the Paris Air Show and brings the total number of ATRs ordered by the leasing company to 17, along with options on another 17. Gecas expects to begin taking delivery of the new airplanes late this year.
CFM International recorded a record year in 2011, logging orders for 1,500 commercial, military and spare CFM56 engines and commitments for 3,056 Leap engines for a combined value of $51.7 billion at list prices.
Democrats and Republicans wrangling over the debt ceiling, spending and tax increases and tax cuts have come up with a deal nobody really likes. In the meantime the economy continues to stumble along to the pulse of a stock market fluctuating wildly. Unemployment is nudging 9.2 percent, the housing market remains depressed, and the President again has singled out corporate jet owners as the whipping boys.
Boeing and GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) have closed a firm order for two 747-8 Freighters and eight 777-300ERs worth a combined $2.9 billion at list prices, the Chicago-based manufacturer announced today.
Organizers of the 2011 Paris Air Show (June 20-26) promised a feel-good factor that would leave the aerospace industry in no doubt that the long-awaited recovery has kicked in. They kept their word, and then some, with wave upon wave of new airliner orders and the associated new business in engines, equipment and support packages.
ATR has revealed another of its previously undisclosed customers–Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC). Yesterday at the Paris Air Show the Danish lessor and aircraft trading company placed a firm order, valued at $450 million, for 10 ATR 72-600s, with 10 options for more.

I haven't spent much time making things recently, but here's an apple I made for a new arrival who said hello while I was in Australia.
It has a rattle inside so it's a treat for many senses.
Probably not taste though.

an member on AT said the auction will take place Sept. 1st.
Printable View
an member on AT said the auction will take place Sept. 1st.
bank will only goes auction as the last resort or last choice.
before going auction, many things can be done
1. restructuring the repayment?
2. additional Fix Assets to as subsitute the outstanding?
3. refinance to other financial institution?
Auction will cost a lot time, paper work, and money to the bank, and usually auction will end up in a lower price, thus still a cost involves for bank to follow up with the outstanding balance.
Auction???? unless the situation is real bad.
just my 2 cent opinion as a banker
Spiker, I think he was praising him. "From his cougar to mine". I believe he shot a cougar with a Martin Cougar. Just saying.
nice shooting Otis !!!!
I've noticed some adds on eBay stating 1 year warranty on new bows. My manual says lifetime if I remember correctly. Glad my limbs are on the way.
Everyone is assuming that an auction is a bank controlled thing, and a piecemeal liquidation of equipment, inventory, property, etc. Not necessarily so. If you own it, you can sell it at, and an auction is one way to do it. In the context of a corporation with multiple lines of business, it may be a means to bring multiple potential buyers together, and/or weed out the lurkers who are not really serious about buying and potentially wasting the seller's time.
For example, Buyer A says they want the compound bow line, but not the traditional, Buyer B wants the traditional only, and Buyers C & D say they want them both, Buyer C says they won't buy just one or the other, but Buyer D says they will. Perhaps there is more than one potential buyer in more than one of the categories.
A seller can go nuts (and bankrupt) waiting out the offer/counteroffer, "let me check on financing", etc. process with multiple potential buyers. So an auction is one means to establish a deadline. Does not necessarily mean thatthe gates will be opened up and individuals will be invited to bid one by one on forklifts, lathes, and other equipment.
Business is business, and Martin is a name with some value in the archery industry. I hope that any buyer is going to pick things up, polish them up, and return the company to the type of innovation and customer service Martin has been known for, including honoring existing warranties, maintaining stock of parts for older models, etc.
Only time will tell.
Good point , dg. Could be that whoever was interested in the company just couldn't strike a deal with the bank. Afterall, there is the matter of $1.6 mil of debt that hangs over the company. Maybe some potential buyers are sitting back and waiting to bid at auction. Just have to wait and see.
Oh, I was also told that the local newspaper in Walla Walla doesn't inform it's readers about these type of things. Nothing listed so far about Martin. Probably the same type of ideology that keeps the mainstream media from reporting the scandals that plague our govt. agencies.
Wow, this is a sad day and I can't believe these things keep following me. My 2012 Bengal was the first new bow since my 1997 Golden Eagle Litespeed. If I'm correct that company was also out of business a few short years after. I'm not having great luck.
Hey Andy,
Don't feel like a lightning rod.....this kind of thing is all too common in todays business world....at least it is in America. There are a number of factors in this method of "closing the doors" that are advantageous to a company, but this isn't the forum to discuss that. Lets just all hope that some well intentioned buyer picks up Martin with the intention of maintaining their ability to innovate and their incredible heritage in archery.
Take care, and enjoy that Bengal. No matter what, it's still a great bow....I've still got my '08 Bengal and it's good as new (better than the Martins that followed, actually).
Thanks for the updates. I know that we were all hoping for some good news, but at least we know what is happening to a company that many of us, apparently, have some sort of attachment to. I know that we all share a love of archery....guess that Martin embodied much of that heritage with an American flavor. And who can forget the amazingly beautiful Martin bows of the past that were truly the bow of the aficienado.

Move very fortuitous for Tunica restaurant
It's just after 4 p.m. Thursday and Rocky Morales is stocking long neck bottles of Dos Equis, Michelob Ultra and Modelo Especial behind the shiny, shellac-coated pine bar of the new Mexico Grill restaurant in Tunica.
Inside the restaurant, neatly lined tables, complete with chairs featuring hand-carvings and painted backs, are situated down one side of a double aisle of booths located on the central part of the building. On the other side of the restaurant sits the long, angled bar with its dozen or so stools oriented toward a large flat-screen television behind the liquor counter.
As is common with most Mexican restaurants, Latino music permeates the air with the sounds of salsa and other current Mexican genres.

I have many little peeves that make me want to smack people. One of them happened today when a sassy little freshman girl, right out of high school, started running her trap when the professor told us we would be done in 20 minutes. This was 40 minutes before the class is scheduled to be over! FIRST OF ALL, I understand its a 3 hour class however, you signed up for it knowing that. Secondly, we meet once a week, this is hardly enough time to learn an entire years worth of A&P in one semester. Third, this professor is the best I have ever had the privilege of learning from, so SHUT UP! I am so annoyed, I never acted like that as a freshman and would not do it now! How annoying, you little twerp, to sit there and complain when you JUST graduated from high school where you were in school for 8 hours everyday. Try working full time, raising a family, going to school full time & having a social life like many of the other students. OPPOSITE, you could never.
This photo exhibits how I feel about you.

Lady Casa: Queen of the Ravers Launches a PR Push for Her EDM Party Compatriots
By Ben Westhoff and Sarah Purkrabek
Stian Roenning Lada Casa.
Lady Casa is perhaps the country's most famous raver, and something of a cult leader to her tens of thousands of fans. When the Miami native makes a pilgrimage to LA and hosts an event on Venice Beach the day after seeing DJ Armin van Buuren, it quickly turns into a mob scene.
Not far from the guy who walks on glass and an Italian tour group, hundreds of ravers wait for hours in a snaking line to get Lady Casa's autograph, hear her wisdom and, most importantly, hug her. The event is billed as her 26th birthday party, as well as a benefit for local animal shelters.More »

After spending four weeks here, today marks the last day of my rural rotation. Through it all, I have seen patients with six different family physicians, done rounds with them in long-term care, and spent time with them at the hospital. It has been a month filled with experiences, stories, and memories.
Rural medicine truly is something different. It has given me a new lens through which to see how medicine can be practiced. The continuity of care, the increased responsibilities, and the increased competency needed to practice have all been demonstrated by the doctors I have come in contact with. They have wowed me with their versatility and their mastery of the art of medicine.
A lot of that comes from the environment they work in. Rural medicine is a demanding area, one where resources are limited and the dependence of a community bears down heavily on the health care profession. After all, family physicians are the point of first contact. With those kinds of pressures, one naturally grows into the role.
The past month has been a unique opportunity to see family medicine practiced in a more holistic way. It has been a privilege to work with these doctors who are as passionate about this form of medicine as they are dedicated to their craft. They have inspired me to do better and think bigger. This rural rotation is an experience that I shall carry with me for the rest of my career.
Now, it is time to say a long good bye as I depart this community for the metropolis, where new experiences await.
This map, though it does not contain Canadian data, shows a very important point about rural medicine: there are not enough physicians. As the legend points out, Clark County, Mississippi had a population of over 17,000 but no doctor's office, while Manhattan had a doctor's office for every 500 residents. It is a stark contrast and a very important reminder of the dire situation a rural demographic faces. A physician may be alone in his practice with very little in the way of back-up support; a physician may not be present at all, and is instead hours away. This is the harsh reality of a physician shortage. The million dollar question of course is how to incentivize and promote rural medicine to support these marginalized populations.
In the New England Journal of Medicine, tucked away in the September 2011 issue, is a perspective piece by Dr. Margaret Seton. In it, she recounts her time as a student from Boston practicing a rural rotation in Arkansas. It vividly portrays the stark contrast between rural and urban care, the necessity for quick thinking, and the challenges of bridging a cultural gap. Things that may be taken for granted, such as MRI and CT scans, tests that are readily available in a larger urban centre, are absent or hard to access.
These differences are imposing to new doctors, especially those who have trained in a larger centre and she reflects on both the challenges and the rewards that have come from such an experience. I would highly recommend everyone to read it if they can.
An excerpt:
…At other times, the biggest problems were not in diagnosis but in finding a farm truck that was free for a day to take a child into Little Rock for emergency surgery. Vaccinating the children born uncounted on the islands in the Mississippi, learning about "gigging" frogs by flashlight in the night, eating barbecued goat for the Fourth of July — such activities marked a time of transformation for us.
In the little houses clustered by the fields, there was a rural violence that I'd never seen before, bred by poverty and ignorance. Bullet holes pockmarked every signpost along the road. I learned to recognize the old black men who worked in the cotton gin by their missing fingers. I learned about hard lives and about children who died or disappeared. I hadn't known that so many black Americans were still living without running water, that physicians could be on call every night, that one could eat squirrel, or that long, well-embroidered country stories could make one double over with laughter.

When trouble strikes, head to the library. You will either be able to solve the problem, or simply have something to read as the world crashes down around you.
REMEMBER: If confronted by a librarian while looking for a book to check out, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE BY CLIMBING A TREE. There are NO TREES in the library, and the precious moments it will take you to look around and realize this, will ALLOW THE LIBRARIAN TO STRIKE. Don't become a statistic.
A silent Library is a sad Library. A Library without patrons on whom to pile books and tales and knowing and magazines full of up-to-the-minute politickal fashions and atlases and plays in pentameter! A Library should be full of exclamations! Shouts of delight and horror as the wonders of the world are discovered or the lies of the heavens uncovered or the wild adventures of devil-knows-who sent romping out of the pages. A Library should be full of now-just-a-minutes and that-can't-be-rights and scientifick folk running skelter to prove somebody wrong. It should positively vibrate with laughing at comedies and sobbing at tragedies, it should echo with gasps as decent ladies glimpse indecent things and indecent ladies stumble upon secret and scandalous decencies! A Library should not shush; it should roar!

Join me as I explore Thailand for a year!
I'll be updating sporadically, but I will try to share as much of my experience as possible with all of you!
Went to this absolutely insane market yesterday- they had pretty much everything you could think of. Got a couple of cool new things for my room, two plants- a tiny little heart shaped one and a hanging one, and then lights for a round my desk. I gotta say, I'm definitely making this place feel like home. :)

This means you are asleep and unable to feel pain.The surgeon makes a cut in your belly so he or she can see your intestines.

The surgeon locates the area of your intestine (bowel) that is blocked and unblocks it.Any damaged parts of your bowel will be repaired or removed. If a section is removed, the healthy ends will be reconnected with stitches or staples. Sometimes when part of the intestine is removed, the ends cannot be reconnected. If this happens, the surgeon will bring one end out through an opening in the abdominal wall. This may be done using a colostomy , ileostomy, or mucous fistula.

Peter Collins on the job, delivering oxygen tanks
The month after the Lehman Brothers collapse in the fall of 2008, Peter Collins was downsized with a half dozen other people from at a Bloomfield commercial printer.
Collins, 51, who had spent his whole career as a printer and had been with Finlay Printing almost nine years, had been making $60,000 a year.
"Nobody was hiring anywhere. Of course the printing industry was cut in half, no way I could get back in the printing industry," he said. At the end of last year, his former employer went out of business.
Collins spent 99 weeks collecting unemployment, and working odd jobs, cutting trees, plowing snow and the like.
In early 2010, about a month after his benefits expired, he found a job as an apprentice fire sprinkler inspector, for $12 an hour, less than half what he used to make.
"It was a miserable, miserable job. It was really dirty, dirty nasty water coming on you all the time," Collins said. "I worked there for about a year — he laid me off because he had no work."
Again, Collins was collecting unemployment.
Finally, in January 2012, he was steered into training through the unemployment office, and took a six-week course in math and problem solving designed to prepare people for jobs as linemen at the electric or natural gas utilities, or as cable or telephone installers. The strongest 13 students of the 20 people who took that class — including Collins — were then sent to Northeast Utilities for another eight weeks of training. After that, they did two weeks at a truck driving school, and got Class B commercial licenses.
At the time, NU's director of training, Tom Burns, said in a press release: "Twenty-five percent of our physical workforce is eligible for retirement. We need workers to replace them and keep up with a growing demand for energy."
That particular prediction didn't turn out to be true. None of the 13 men were hired by NU or United Illuminating, and in early 2013, Burns was downsized himself.
One became an insulation installer. One checks if there are cables under the sidewalk or street before contractors dig there. One works for tree trimming giant Asplundh, and another for AT&T. One went to community college. Another went to manage a construction project.
And Collins landed a job at Nutmeg Respiratory, a company that delivers oxygen tanks to elderly patients at home and to Veterans Affairs facilities.
He's making $16 an hour, or about 55 percent of what he used to earn as a printer. He's also working every weekend for a friend's construction company, doing home renovations, landscaping or deck work. The only day off he's had was Mother's Day.
Until November, he was living rent-free at a duplex he's renovating in Manchester; now he's paying $600 a month, and continues to work on it every evening.
"I work like 70 hours a week right now. It comes close to what I was making," Collins said. In the years he was unemployed or underemployed, he ran up a lot of debt. He said he's down to two bills, and in a month or two, he hopes to be debt-free and start saving for retirement.
Collins really had hoped to go to work for NU. "I was climbing the poles like a monkey," he said.
But even though the two times he's applied for the jobs posted there, he heard nothing back, he's not at all unhappy with the time he invested in the training, sponsored by the Connecticut Business and Industry Association.
The driving license, which led to the job he has, would have cost $4,000 out of pocket, he said.
"CBIA did a great job by giving me the chance," he said. "I wouldn't have this job. It's a stepping stone for me. I like working at this job, I really do. I can actually go to a dentist again. I haven't had benefits since 2008. I couldn't afford it at all."
He said during those years, he wouldn't have gone to a doctor unless he'd impaled himself in an accident. Since his benefits began in January, after 120 days on the job, he has gone to the doctor twice and to the dentist.
"It's so tough out there, in general right now, employment is just horrible," Collins said. "I'm very happy I got a job."

"You're not in the room,
but you got me in a headlock.
Tied up, helpless, ready to be sacrificed."
"I've been all around this corner
Reachin' forth but backin' over
I'm not done and I'm not over
I'm not done with you"
"And the cold sweat
it drips down my neck.
I'm tossing and turning in bed.
I'm burning alive.
This feeling ain't right."
"I am whoever I am when I am it"
"Speakin' slowly,
know that I won't touch you.
Breathe in slowly,
know that I can't love you.
I just want what I can't have"
"I got my eyes on you,
you're everything that I see"
"We're the best of friends
Yeah, you tell me everything -
Like the girl you like
she don't even know you exist"
"Something's holding me back,
It's in the back of my head"
"I'll be thinking about
the girl across from me.
Yeah I'll be thinking about
the love that we did leave"
"Like some sick love potion
I was addicted to your touch"
"Let me be your ruler
You can call me queen bee
And I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy"
"You're reckless and you know it
They don't love you like I do
Say you're moving on,
Well I guess that's just the motion"
"I am softly watching you
Oh boy, your eyes betray what burns inside you"
"I know you love me,
And I know you're down."
"yes yes, they've been jealous
of the time spent between you and me"
And I'm twisted, I'm pushing you away, And I'm lonely, And I'm listless, I'm keeping you at bay, And I'm lonely.
"Who are you to tell me how
to keep myself afloat"
"All love lends no rights, I can only try my best"
"Every time I see that you're walking by,
I look at you with my eagle eye,
And I know that you're the girl
That's meant for, that's meant for me"
"One foot on the ledge
and I'm feeling for safety
somewhere between sure
and I don't know"
"Oh there's no one, there's no one
quite like you"
"If my bones were wrapped around you
My skin was right in front of you
And you smile and close your eyes
I'm yours tonight"
"It might be impractical
To seek out a new romance
We won't know the actual
If we never take the chance"
"I've never felt love, 'cause of the state of us
know me until I go
know me until I'm done"
Janet Jackson - Someone To Call My Lover (Giraffage Remix)
"The mind say no sir But the body says please The heart stays silent Such a silent tease"
"I could concoct the largest schemes,
manipulate you of your dreams"
"When you are old and gray
I hope that someone holds you
the way that I would"
"I'm young, I'm yours
I am free, but I am flawed"
"How do you do it,
You got me losing every breath"
"I want to have light by day
and fire by night"
"I look for you in the faces of lovers
that welcome my sins"
"If you insist, I can go
and let you solve your problems
on your own"
"Don't hide I can see it in your eyes,
You can't stand to be alone and you never really tried"
"When you go, what you leave is a work of art
On my chest, on my heart"
"Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips
Over over again, like my only prayer"
"Caught in this pool held in your eyes,
caught like a fool on your line"
"Making up, lovers on their own tonight need to see how it's done so I can change inside"
"It's been so long
and you won't stay
if you see me fall"

one time my religion teacher who has a monobrow asked me "what the hell did you do to your hair?" because i had a blonde streak through it and i said "what the hell did you do to your eyebrow" and he sent me outside
when i came back in he asked everyone what monotheism was and i said it meant a religion that worshiped one god because mono means one as in monobrow and he sent me out again

Tax Policy:
Mortality Charges on Single Premium Life Insurance Should Be Restricted
GGD-88-95: Published: Jun 14, 1988. Publicly Released: Jun 14, 1988.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined: (1) tax policy issues arising from life insurance companies' use of excessively high mortality charges to increase premiums; and (2) ways to change the tax status of investment-oriented life insurance.
GAO found that policyholders of single-premium life insurance and other investment-oriented insurance products can shelter more money for investment and more funds for low-cost, tax-free policy loans, since life insurance companies can: (1) set premiums based on the mortality charges that they specify in the policies; (2) enhance policies' investment potential by specifying charges in excess of those normally considered reasonable for life insurance contracts; and (3) use higher mortality charges to artificially inflate premiums for individuals who are considered standard risks. GAO believes that: (1) recent legislative proposals curtailing the tax advantages associated with investment-oriented life insurance do not deal directly with excessively high mortality charges; and (2) revision of the cash value corridor test to disqualify contracts from favorable tax treatment would eliminate excessive borrowing and reduce the incentive to inflate mortality assumptions.

Raising the Minimum Wage: Are You Pro or Con?
Recently, fast-food industry and retail workers from big box stores like Wal-Mart have been staging protests and strikes all over the country arguing that today's federal minimum wage standard is far too low and has not kept pace with inflation for far too long. As a result, they say, far too many of them are working full-time and then some—even in as many as two or three jobs—and yet ... [ Read More ]

RAH admits years of breaching doctors' conditions
Adelaide | The Royal Adelaide Hospital has admitted it knowingly rostered doctors in breach of health, safety and welfare standards.
The General Medical rosters for the Medical Practitioners Group at the RAH had failed to meet restrictions of excessive hours of duty, the RAH's Head of General Medicine, Dr Jeff Faunt, has told the Industrial Relations Court.
The breaches included failures to provide four days free from duty in each 28 day cycle, failures to provide one weekend free of duty in each 28 day cycle, and requiring employees to work in excess of eight consecutive days.
The breaches had gone on for several years and reflected a lack of resources, Faunt admitted.
The South Australian Salaried Medical Officers Association (SASMOA) became aware of the problem in August and sough Full Story »
Canadian soldier, gunman die at parliament
OTTAWA | A gunman whose name was on a terror watch list killed a soldier and attempted to storm Canada's parliament before being gunned down in turn by the assembly's sergeant-at-arms.
The attacker, identified in the Canadian media as 32-year-old Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was considered a "high risk" suspect and had seen his passport seized to prevent him fighting abroad.
Instead, he shot and killed a Canadian soldier who was mounting a ceremonial guard at a war memorial in downtown Ottawa before storming into the nearby parliament building.
The soldier was named in reports as Corporal Nathan Cirillo, part of a detachment on ceremonial duties at Parliament Hill, the heart of Canada's national government and home to its legislature.

Council confidence up – but will voters turn out?
Comment | Local councils have received a fillip just prior to elections via an independent survey conducted by Newspoll.
Established by Professor A J Brown at Queensland's Griffith University, the survey has shown a further growth in public confidence in councils across Australia.
From a positive response of 57% in 2008, confidence rose to 58.1% in 2012 and the latest survey showed further growth to 58.9%.
While we are not in competition with state or federal governments, the states scored 54.5% and the Australian Government 52.5%.
Below these national results however, confidence in SA councils grew by 3% to 64.5%, well exceeding the national average.
No-one should get carried away with surveys but the trends are interesting.

Let's talk about Chardonnay
PHILIP WHITE REVIEWS | Whitey's been worrying about posh Chardonnay - but, like, why?
Kooyong Faultline Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2012
$60; 13.5% alcohol; screw cap; 92 points
There's not much of your actual fruit to sniff here: no peach or melon aromas or much of what you'd normally expect to find rising from a glass of your Australian Chardonnay. Hang on: Maybe there is some melon: the crinkly skin of the cantaloupe, the rock melon which is what the Americans call a muskmelon.
Oh yes, it also smells like rock, or at least the guano rock of Nauru: dry, sharp and acrid. Dusty, dry hessian. Burlap. Hemp. The palate is slender and edgy, with a hint of that melon. No, it's not cantaloupe, it's more like honeydew flesh. Maybe a very creamy pear. The acid is Full Story »

This vehicle was given to me by a good friend when I needed it most, and has always come through for me and my family (my daughters call her Dora the Explorer). In this time of complaining about everything, I thought I'd pay a well deserved compliment. Fantastic machine, thank you, well done. Here's to another 120000 miles!

ORCHARD PARK, NY ( WKBW ) Some residents in a local neighborhood have some unexpected company. Black bears are making their way into some areas of Western New York.
Ashwood Lane in Orchard Park is a place with manicured lawns and well kept gardens. It isn't the place you would go to and experience other elements of the great outdoors.
Resident Bob Wegrzyn told Eyewitness News, "The wildlife you see here are mainly rabbits and occasional deer."
This past Saturday, things got a little bit wild when John McGovern saw a strange animal. He said, "I just saw it crossing the street. Instead of doing the right thing and just walking away, I kinda chased after it, chased it into that tree."
Resident Dawn Chow added, "You could see the lower branches moving and you could see a shadowy figure...not a huge figure, but big enough to be moving the branches around."
McGovern had chased a young black bear up the tree. It's claw marks are still clearly visible in the bark. Orchard Park Police were called, and with the help of the Department of Environmental Conservation, they were able to scare the cub out of the tree and out of the neighborhood.
The D.E.C. says that this is the time of year when young bears are on the move. They are looking for new territory and an easy meal. They use natural corridors to travel, and in this case it was likely the ravines in nearby Chestnut Ridge Park were used.
Bear sightings are becoming common in Western New York. Photos taken this past weekend show bear tracks at a home on Murphy Road, less than mile from the other bear encounter.
The D.E.C. says they confirm about 6 bear sightings a day in this area, and are urging homeowners to put away bird seed - garbage - compost piles - and other potential food sources that attract bears. They also recommend that you keep a safe distance and never approach them.
Dawn Chow says she is going one step further. "We've got four kids ages two to nine, and now once it gets dark around 8:30p.m. or so, I'm pulling them in. We're not staying out late."

Superpole king Tom Sykes has broken the absolute lap record of Misano on way to taking pole position for tomorrow's WSB races at the Italian circuit, equalling Carl Fogarty's 21 career pole positions in the process.

The Pata Honda squad of Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam are looking forward to a return to Italy this weekend, as the World Superbike championship moves to a track that the team's two British riders believes will suit the characteristics of their Fireblades.

Despite the Kawasaki's of Baz and Sykes both being fired up for a redemptive second stint -a first corner collision in race one saw both of them crash out - it was the British-based Frenchman, Guintoli, who grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck from the very first lap and looked all set to take the second win ...

Marco Melandri took his first win for Aprilia, in a strong 1-2 for the Italian team with Guintoli taking second.

2014 Audi SQ5
With the exception of a handful of markets (including the US), the Audi SQ5 was a pioneer for the company's S/RS performance line as it was the first model to wear the badge and also get diesel power. Our general "everything is better with a diesel" mentality was put to the test when we first heard we would be getting a non-diesel SQ5 in the US (despite the availability of the diesel-powered Q5 TDI here already), but as usual we can only blame our federal emissions standards. As Audi tells it, the SQ5 TDI engine would require AdBlue to meet US emissions regulations, and the packaging of... Read More

It may be obvious at this point, but here in the United States, European manufacturers routinely give us the short end of the stick.

No, instead, I'm referring to cars that are sold right here in the Land of the Free in one ...
All-wheel drive has become the norm particularly among German automakers. Mercedes offers its 4Matic system on a broad range of models, BMW counters with its xDrive system, Volkswagen has 4Motion, and the only Porsche you actually can't get with all-wheel traction is the Boxster/Cayman. But before all its competitors got on board with channeling power to ...

Despite the fact that the 2014 Audi SQ5 you see here is quite a bit different than the one offered in Europe, we're still plenty glad that the folks from Ingolstadt have decided to offer a hotted-up version of its compact Q5 crossover here in the States. Now, Audi has announced that its US-spec SQ5 will be priced from $51,900 when it hits dealerships ...
Over in Europe-land, the Audi SQ5 is a diesel-powered monster capable of sending a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque to its wheels. Naturally, this beast isn't coming to the States, but that doesn't mean we're missing out on the whole SQ5 experience altogether. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Audi is debuting a new gasoline-powered version of the hot ...
When we first saw the Audi SQ5 TDI unveiled back in June, we could feel that pit in our stomach. Here sat a powerful, sporty, mean-looking crossover, and we just knew that Audi wasn't going to be bringing it to the US. And we were right. While we won't be getting the diesel version of this crossover with its 479 pound-feet of torque, we will instead be ...
Audi is a company synonymous with diesel performance. Its efforts at the 24 Hours of Le Mans have repeatedly proven what can be accomplished with a healthy oil-burner at your command, but until now, buyers were unable to pick up spots-oriented models with a TDI badge. That's changed with the debut of the SQ5 TDI at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. As the first ...
The Audi SQ5 only arrived a few months ago and already it has a sibling: the Audi SQ5 Exclusive Concept. To be shown at the Paris Motor Show and then produced in a limited run of just 50 units, the SQ5 exclusive has been given a near-bespoke makeover by the luxury-minded folks at Quattro GmbH for the purpose of "showcasing new design solutions in the ...
Audi is using the 24 Hours of Le Mans as a launching pad for its latest performance machine. Based on the Q5 crossover platform, the (long-rumored) SQ5 boasts 313 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel engine to move its not insignificant mass to 60 miles per hour in just five seconds. Top speed comes in at ...
Audi sat on the sidelines for long enough watching its rivals get the better of it in the SUV game, then it finally jumped in on the action with the Q7, followed by the Q5 and soon the Q3. But even as its crossover range broadens, there's still another mountain to conquer: that of the performance SUV. Rumors of impending S and RS versions of the Q5 have ...
Once upon a time the in-house performance studios of Germany's finest automakers wouldn't have anything to do with crossovers and SUVs. But several Mercedes-Benz G55 AMGs and BMW X6 Ms later, Audi's quattro GmbH is reportedly looking to join the fold with a pair of super-tuned Q5s. The reports claim that Audi is preparing an SQ5 and an RSQ5, both backed ...

New Take on the Triptych
Do you need large-scale artwork for a particular spot but only have smaller pieces to work with? Don't feel comfortable handling an oversized piece and looking for something more manageable with just as much punch? Let the triptych inspire your way...
Often hinged together, triptychs can also be a set of three simply hung side by side. By grouping a set of three same-sized paintings, photographs or mirrors; they work as one large piece. This arrangement could pull smaller works together for use, say, over a sofa, bed, or fireplace.

Love these!
Art should not be used "to fill a space".
Each work you purchase or create should have some personal appeal - not because it is the right size.
Art and "sofa paintings" are not the same thing.
I think it's a great idea and I'll most likely use it someday.
For some art is simply decor, something pleasant to fill space. I see nothing wrong with not taking it so seriously.
Lighten up, Guerilla. No one is talking about buying a bunch of Thomas Kincaid prints just to cover a blank. Sometimes you have an empty space the needs filling.
i'm with guerrilla on this one.
having said that though, if you have a triptych (3 pieces meant to be viewed as one piece) then yes, it may have the actual impact of one piece.
grouping three pieces together do not make a triptych (technically)-- the examples you have up there are not triptychs unless those 3 pieces are meant to be one. capiche?
i'm just nitpicking at the details at otherwise helpful post, just don't want readers to get the wrong idea about what a triptych is in the art world.
Oh brother. (not a critique of the post, by the way. I love the fun pop and simplicity of the first set of three!)
Um - Tryptichs are not often hinged together...
...if it is, then it's called a folding screen.
I think the first shot with the three prints looks like something you'd see in a hotel room.
Well, actually, in art, a triptych technically refers to a three part hinged ALTARPIECE. But people do use it more loosely to refer to images that are meant to be displayed as a group - it's just not technically correct. I'm an art historian, BTW, so I'm not just blowin' smoke.
I guess my first reaction was similar to Texaninexile's. If we are getting technical, the triptych was popularized in the Middle Ages with Christian iconography (often hinged, but sometimes otherwise attached), but I believe the word and method originated in Ancient Greece.
Commonly in contemporary art (and for that matter, religious art), a triptych refers to a group of three pieces that were intentionally done as a set, so they must not only relate to each other, but in some way interact with each other in a way where they do not work independently.
In other words, three pieces of art in a row does not necessarily a triptych make. That doesn't mean three similar pieces don't look great together, though. Its a great solution to achieve weight with smaller pieces if one large one doesn't work.
yes, strict definition in art: 3 panels hinged together.
