too much finger?
a question on proper finger placement when squeezing the trigger. I know there are variations and different ways of shooting but the common method, the method taught in Basic Training, is to put the fleshy, fingerprint part of the finger on the trigger. I've mostly fired rifles and pistols on single action. and I didn't used to pay as much attention to my technique. but i just bought a DA revolver and noticed when i squeezed the trigger, it jerked to the right at the very last second. when firing SA, it's either not there or so small that i don't notice. i do know i shoot to the right with a pistol though. so i focused on my trigger squeeze and did it over and over, trying to pull the trigger straight back. always jerked. remembering an article i read by Ayoob, i put my finger through to the first joint and squeezed. no jerke on SA or DA. so, do i need to figure out what's wrong with my trigger pull or do i just need to use more finger from now on, firing "incorrectly" if you listen to what my drill sergeants said all those years ago?

People have different size fingers.
Best way I teach people to find the best part of their finger to use is to get a laser sighted pistol/revolver and have them dry fire.
Too much finger and the red dot is off to the left when the hammer falls, not enough finger and its to the right (right handed shooter).
The finger is kind of like the rear sight, push it the way you want your groups to go.

I think it may vary from pistol to pistol also.
I learned with my Glock that I had to put a lot of finger on the trigger. I learned it by trial and error, dry-firing.
I fired my P7M8 so many years that I knew exactly where my finger went on the trigger, but that didn't work with the Glock.
When I went to test fire a LC9 I found that by the time I had pulled the trigger about ¾ of the way back my finger is starting to curl, so that's a different motion. Instead of puling straight back using my trigger finger from the second joint -on, I'm using my whole finger - starting with the first knuckle, to complete the trigger pull.
It can be different with each trigger.

[this is long winded, I'm not an expert but I like thinking about these kinds of things]
When I started shooting, an older shooter taught me that in general, the "standard" way to shoot a revolver in double action is to center the farthest knuckle / distal joint in the trigger face. Some call it the "power crease/groove". There is a lot of leverage this way. This works very well for smooth combat triggers. I was taught that for any given revolver this is how your grip is determined - start with your preferred trigger finger placement and then wrap the rest of your hand around the grip. I'm guessing it's because the frame sizes for revolvers and the stocks on them vary by a lot - at least the trigger finger placement would be consistent and familiar.
Exceptions: My S&W 27-2 revolver however has a very wide and serrated "target trigger". Using this technique is a bit more difficult in double action - and I read that the serrated target trigger was meant for the other technique of using the pad of the finger for fine control in Single Action. The trigger is so wide that I find placing the joint on the right corner of the trigger moves the front sight the least during dry fire. I've also seen a video segment by Jerry Miculek (see youtube) where he recommends putting the trigger finger "square to the trigger face" - if that means using the pad, then this goes against the generalization. Jerry, being a professional, most likely has extraordinary finger strength and can shoot well this way.
I've also read that piece by Massad Ayoob that he prefers using the joint of the finger for semi-auto pistols as well. It does give a lot of control. If I started doing that however, I'd probably be scolded at the next class I went to (since I'm not Mr. Ayoob)
I too am still experimenting with a couple of my guns, trying to find the sweet spot. Or a sweeter spot. Especially every time I buy/try new stocks for my revolvers. I more or less use the crease of my knuckle for my revolvers.
Is it possible that since you were using the pad of your finger that at the last moment your trigger was sliding into the groove of your finger joint - and the gun shifted to the right? Aside from playing with the trigger finger placement itself, I sometimes play around with rotating my whole hand clockwise or counter-clockwise on the grip.
Have fun experimenting

To get the most accuracy you can out of a pistol you need to eliminate as many variables as possible to get consistancy.
The first varible is going to be your grip. The pistol must recoil in a predictable manner. If it doesn't, you will find yourself having to correct your sight picture and often having to move the hand around on the grip. Many times people hold the grip wrong and have the pistol recoiling in a haphazard way. The recoil should drive the pistol straight up and back. If you are having the pistol turning sideways in some manner, then your grip is incorrect or the pistol just does not fit your hand properly.
The second variable is going to be your presentation. If you are lowering your head to acquire the sights, then your sights and eyes are going to align differently each time you discharge the pistol and it will result in a wandering zero. The pistol should be raised to your line of sight and you adjust your sight picture from there.
The third variable is going to be your trigger press. The knuckle of your hand, the one you would use to punch a person, should not flex at all. Only the knuckle of your finger tip and middle knuckle should move. The middle knuckle should act as a hinge and not move around. If the the last one is flexing your palm is flexing and it will push the pistol around in your grip. Also take note that if any part of your trigger finger is touching the pistol it will move the handgun around as well, avoid this.
In regard to triggers.
The serrated wide triggers, commonly found on a revolver, are meant for target shooting and are intended for the shorter SA trigger stroke. The smooth faced triggers are a combat trigger and accomodate the long DA pull. It allows the finger tip to slide a little and affects the press a little less. Provided that you are not allowing your hand itself to flex. Also the combat trigger requires the shooter to be less precise about what part of the finger tip he applies under stress. The target trigger is best left to pistols where you have the time to worry about having your finger tip just so on it. Just make sure that you have a secure contact and don't worry about it sliding a little. Unless your figger is slipping off the trigger. Then you need to go closer to the first joint.
Breathing of course is a factor, but anyone who shoots knows that we must control our breathing to be accurate. I won't go into that.
With all of the previous having been mentioned. The last varible is going to be the shooter themselves. We all at some point will have some sort of anticipation to the recoil and the natural reaction of trying to push back against it. Once your mind learns that the pistol isn't going to jump up and smack you in the face it gets a little easier. Let it recoil and return naturally, try not to compensate for the recoil. All that happens is that you tend to push the pistol around afterwards and have a lot more difficult time to reacquire a sight picture.
In regard to grip.
Milking the grip can often lead to accuracy problems. This is related to anticipation of recoil and inceasing your grip as to begin to discharge the pistol. It will do the same thing to the pistol and move it around. Get a constistant grip. Don't gorilla grip it as this will make you shake. Don't hold it loose as it will allow the pistol to move around under recoil. A medium grip that gets as much of the hand around the pistol as possible will often give the proper traction to be consistant.
Using two hands and having as much surface area make contact in a constant manner helps as well. Two hands is the most accurate, but sometimes you will not have the luxury of using two hands. If the pistol is for self defence. You must be able to shoot it with one hand. This also means you should be able to shoot it with reasonable accuracy with your support hand only. If you cannot control the pistol one handed with either hand, it is too powerful for you. You should then either use lower powered ammuniton and build up or use a caliber that produces less recoil. Also you can consider going with a heavier pistol to help mitigate the recoil.
A handgun being the most difficult firearm to master will require you to dry fire ans live fire as uch as possible to remain proficient with it. Practice as often as you can. Shoot as much as you can afford, especially if you are going to count on it for SD.
I know I must have left something out, but it is what come to mind. Hope this helps in some fashion. Remember consistancy is the primary factor. Once you get it down and don't have to concentrate on all the different possibilities or potential factors that could affect your accuracy you'll find it gets much easier to be accurate. Then you can add other new problems, such as movement and shooting from less than ideal positions.
Good luck and shoot straight.
History is a freak show and a dark comedy. Mankind is a spectacle all to itself. Play your role, let the jesters play theirs. In the end...who has the last laugh?

I was JUST coaching a friend of mine at the range this morning on this. He too said he used the tip because he "learned it in basic"
years ago when I was a young joe, I couldn't figure out why I kept stringing shots to the left, and my [substandard.... we'll get to that in a minute] NCO kept smoking me and saying I had "too much finger on the trigger". I kept moving further and further out to the tip and kept stringing more and more.
Then I had a great epiphany: This jerk shoots a 27 (back to the substandard NCO bit), so what the hell does he know. I fooled around a bit, and eventually realized: THERE IS ONLY ONE RULE TO HOW MUCH FINGER YOU PUT ON THE TRIGGER: Place the trigger at the point on your finger that allows you to pull it STRAIGHT BACK. For my hand, it's directly behind the first knuckle. For a good friend of mine it's behind the second knucke (i.e. he has almost his whole damned finger in there... mainly because's he's a big stupid lunkhead), and for another buddy of mine it's right in front of the first knuckle. All of us shoot 40/40.
To figure out how much finger you need, do quarter drills (with a rifle)
. They require a buddy. lay in the prone position, and hold your rifle steady. Charge your weapon and then have a friend balance a quarter on the barrel right behind the flash suppressor. Squeeze the trigger. if done correctly, the quarter will wobble, but remain on the barrel. If your trigger squeeze is off, the quarter will fall off your barrel. Repeat until you can get 10 in a row that stay on the barrel. Do the drill a couple times a week. I did this extensively with a buddy of mine when I was a Private just so I could smirk at said inferior NCO when I shot my first 40/40 and he barely qualified. Felt really good when i did, mainly because I'd brought myself to that level. Best revenge is living well and shooting better!
To translate that to a pistol: you can't raelly do it with a quarter. I like dry firing my pistol and paying attention to how much my sights move. The idea is that the lay of the pistol doesn't change. With my particular pistol, I actually like my finger to be just in front of the first joint. Again, practice practice practice until you get it right.

A lot of good observations in this discussion.
I shoot single action auto pistols and DA/SA auto pistols and double action revolvers and Glocks and a Sig DAK. I switch around pretty frequently (although the Sig DAK is currently my duty gun). I have big hands and long fingers. I find I have to switch around a little bit depending upon which gun I'm shooting.
The length of pull from the face of the trigger to the backstrap is critical when achieving a proper fit of the gun to the operator.
With DA revolvers I usually use the crease of the distal joint (What Mas Ayoob often calls "the power crease") and with anything else, I contact the trigger with the pad of the first joint.
Your instructor in basic training wasn't necessarily wrong -- contacting the face of the trigger with the pad of the first joint is usually the first choice with any rifle. (However, one of my friends has been shooting M16/AR15 platform rifles since he was in the Army in the 70s and he uses the "power crease" when running that system, BUT the pad of his finger when shooting any other rifle . . . )
You'll probably just have to experiment to see what works best for YOU on any particular weapons system.
You can only learn from experience if you pay attention!

Library Catalogs
| General References and Guides
This article is part of a series.
|Introduction to the General References and Guides
|Overview of Databases and Indexes
|Database and Index Types
|List of Specific Databases and Indexes
|Library Catalogs
|List of Useful Finding Aid References
This article originally appeared in "General References and Guides" by Kory L. Meyerink, MLS, AG, FUGA in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
A number of genealogical libraries have published catalogs of their holdings in some form. Such catalogs can serve as bibliographies or indexes to published genealogies and family histories, depending on how thoroughly the genealogies were cataloged by the library. Some catalogs only reference a book according to the one or two family surnames identified in the title of the book. Others, recognizing that every family includes many branches with different surnames, identify additional surnames in the book that are represented by many entries in the index. Such inclusive catalogs can be seen as a partial index to surnames in family histories.
Therefore, catalogs should be one of the first sources consulted when beginning research on a new family or when one has found new information about an earlier generation. Remember that libraries continue to acquire books after their catalogs are published, so published catalogs are out of date as soon as they are printed. In the past, libraries issued supplements to previous publications to inform readers of their new holdings.
One product of the numerous efforts made over the last two decades to automate libraries has been the online availability of library catalogs. Today most genealogical libraries have catalogs on the Internet, making access even easier than in past years, allowing almost anyone with an Internet connection to access them. They include libraries of great interest to genealogists, such as the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the New York (City) Public Library, as well as many state libraries. The easiest way to locate the online catalog for a library of interest is to search for the library's name, or location, in one of the major Internet search engines. Also include the word 'catalog' as part of the search string, and one of the first responses should be a link to the library's website.
While the growth of the Internet has made increasing numbers of such catalogs available to more and more researchers, many libraries have not yet automated their entire collections; in some cases, only portions of a catalog may be accessible through such media. Also, of course, catalogs contain only descriptions of the actual books or sources. A search on Google or most other Internet search engines will lead to an amazing number of previously hard-to-find titles. The use, value, and differences between various genealogical library catalogs is the subject of significant discussion in chapter 16, 'Family Histories and Genealogies,' Printed Sources. Most of the following catalogs in this chapter are described in further depth there, along with several other catalogs. The following discussion focuses on the use of library catalogs to identify family history books. Library catalogs identify tens of thousands of other valuable genealogical sources as well.

Family History Library Catalog
The Family History Library has the largest single collection of genealogical records in the world. Consequently, the Family History Library Catalog is the largest bibliography and finding aid for genealogical research. The catalog entries include detailed, analytical descriptions for each source, book, and manuscript in the collection. The main purpose of the catalog is to describe the records fully enough that practical choices for research can be made.
The catalog is available on the Internet and CD-ROM. Both versions include the same catalog entries, and most of the same features. They both permit the same searches for the following topics:
- Author
- Title
- Place (sometimes called locality)
- Surname (for family histories)
- Keyword (any word in the description of the source)
- Subject
- Microfiche or microfilm number
- Book call number
The Internet version of the catalog is updated regularly, but the CD-ROM is generally updated only every few years (see figure 2-4). The CD-ROM version can be purchased for home or institutional use, making research less dependent on an Internet connection or modem speed.
The Family History Library collection includes more than 150,000 separate family histories cataloged according to one or more surnames. Up to 1,000 new titles are added each month. Approximately twenty percent are surname newsletters, manuscript collections, and biographies; the remainder are genealogies or family histories. Furthermore, eighty percent of the titles in the surname section of the catalog pertain to U.S. or Canadian families. Thus, this catalog lists about 100,000 family histories for North American families, making it the most important and comprehensive bibliography of genealogies available. Each family history is listed under an average of five to nine names, yielding more than 600,000 references.
In addition to published family histories, the catalog describes another 200,000 genealogical source books and histories from throughout the world. It also identifies the original records available on two million rolls of microfilm from nations throughout North and South America, Europe, and other locations around the globe.
Genealogical Library Master Catalog
Perhaps the second most valuable library catalog for genealogy is actually a collection of the catalogs from many libraries. The Genealogical Library Master Catalog is a CD-ROM publication of the catalog entries from 18 genealogical libraries around the country, including a few major state library catalogs. Compiled by Rick Crume and published on three CD-ROMs by OneLibrary.com (Glyndon, Minnesota), the 1999 edition of the catalog includes more than 100,000 entries on each disc, with each disc listing a different type of record: family histories, local histories, and genealogical sources.
Many of the titles are listed multiple times, as they appear in several of the libraries who contributed to this collection. This allows the researcher to view different catalog entries for such sources, which provides a more complete description of these duplicated sources. An online version of this catalog is available through Ancestry.com.
Library of Congress Catalogs
The Library of Congress has one of the largest collections of genealogies and family histories in the United States. It also has a long history of publishing its genealogical holdings list to benefit researchers seeking to identify sometimes obscure family histories. The 1919 catalog was superseded by Marion J. Kaminkow's Genealogies in the Library of Congress: A Bibliography. This catalog can be found in most genealogical and research libraries. It lists the 20,054 genealogies in the library's collection as of 1972. Be sure to check the addenda in each volume, where approximately 700 titles are listed. The Library of Congress has added about 12,000 cross references for surnames mentioned prominently in books about other families.
Arranged alphabetically by surname, the entries contain complete bibliographic citations. See and see also entries lead the user to genealogies that would usually be overlooked. The books indexed are, of course, available in the Library of Congress, but many can also be found at other major genealogical libraries.
Three supplements have been published to update this catalog. They cover books from 1972 through 1976; between 1977 and 1986; and from 1986 to 1 July 1991. Combined, the supplements list approximately 22,000 recent genealogies. With the placement of the library's catalog on the Internet, it has not been necessary to issue supplements in paper format. Rather, the Library of Congress catalog is the best place to search for genealogical holdings in the nation's library. However, it is also a good illustration of why online catalogs are not sufficient.
The Library of Congress has been acquiring genealogical sources for almost 200 years, but only since the 1960s have they used a computer to catalog those books. Tens of thousands of genealogical and historical books were cataloged before the days of computers. Many of these sources have not been entered into the computerized catalog. Of those books which had been cataloged in the pre-computer days, only those which had to be re-cataloged (due to being microfilmed, having a new edition, or a change in the original cataloging) would be in the computer catalog, and available on the Web.
Another reason not to rely just on the online catalog is that, contrary to popular opinion, the Library of Congress does not have a copy of every book ever printed in the United States. Especially lacking are genealogies and family histories. Such books are often printed in small quantities and distributed through personal networks. Realizing this, the editors of Genealogies in the Library of Congress set out to locate genealogies not in the Library of Congress. The result was A Complement to Genealogies in the Library of Congress. It is a bibliography of 20,000 genealogies found in one or more of twenty-four major libraries outside of the Library of Congress collection. The format is the same as that of the earlier volume (without cross references). It also indicates in which library the book can be found.
This book includes the more obscure titles and gives their locations. However, it is not comprehensive; several libraries surveyed only portions of their collections. Also, some libraries with major genealogical collections did not participate. The same titles may be in many other libraries as well, so be sure to check the catalog of any local research library. In 2002, the Genealogical Publishing Company reprinted the five print volumes of the Library of Congress genealogical catalogs, along with the Complement and made them available to research libraries as a set. This further underscores this collection as one of the most significant finding aids for genealogical research.
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Library Catalog
This catalog is another important tool for locating compiled genealogies. While the DAR Library includes mostly major published genealogies, its collection is unique for its holdings of genealogies that were published in very small numbers'sometimes fewer than a dozen copies. Many of its typescript genealogies can be found in no other research library. They are listed in the DAR's Library Catalog, Volume One: Family Histories and Genealogies. This catalog, along with a small supplement published in 1984, lists 15,031 titles of family histories and genealogies.
It is arranged alphabetically by the names of the primary families treated. The entries include complete bibliographic citations as well as DAR Library call numbers. In addition to an author index, the catalog has a surname index with approximately 26,000 entries that indicate in which books a surname is prominently mentioned, even if the name is not included in the title of the book. Volume 3 of the catalog, published in 1992, includes references to 4,123 family histories acquired by the library within the previous decade. This library has also made their catalog available online, generally superseding these print catalogs. However, where the print catalogs are available in a research library, they can often be easier to browse when seeking variant spellings for surnames.
New York Public Library'Dictionary Catalog of the Local History and Genealogy Division
The New York Public Library (Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street, New York, NY 10018) houses an excellent collection of genealogical research material. The eighteen-volume catalog for its genealogical collection, Dictionary Catalog of the Local History and Genealogy Division, consists of duplications of the typed and handwritten, alphabetically arranged card catalog. Copies of this catalog are available at most major libraries in the United States. It includes approximately 300,000 references to the 100,000 volumes that were in the collection before 1972. Although most of the books are local histories, approximately 26,000 titles, and perhaps 75,000 references, are genealogies and family histories. The catalog indexes only the major surnames in each book, but it remains very useful. Like most published catalogs, this one has not been added to since publication. However, new acquisitions are identified in the annual Bibliographic Guide to North American History, published by G. K. Hall of Boston.
Other Published Library Catalogs
The catalogs discussed here probably identify more than ninety-five percent of the published genealogies and family histories of North American families. All, or most, of these catalogs are available in every major genealogical library, as well as on the Internet. There are, however, several other library catalogs that researchers should be aware of. These should be consulted if you have access to the library described or if more thorough research is needed.
Several library catalogs have been published by the G. K. Hall Company of Boston (in addition to the New York Public Library Catalog described above.) They include those of the Peabody Library (Baltimore), Boston Athenaeum, Los Angeles Public Library, American Antiquarian Society (Worcester, Massachusetts), and others. These can be found in most university and some public libraries.
Library Catalog Networks
Virtually all major public, private, and university libraries have embraced automation and regularly take advantage of the opportunities the computer age provides. These libraries subscribe to one or more computer networks that allow them to locate and catalog books faster by sharing information with other repositories that use the network.
Online Computer Library Center
One of the major networks is the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). This network is an online catalog of more than 9,000 public, private, and some academic libraries that subscribe to the service. New books are then cataloged only once'by the library that enters the book in OCLC first. Other libraries flag the book as being in their collections and download the description for their catalogs. At libraries that have WorldCat, as the public interface is known, patrons can conduct searches themselves. Librarians also can search OCLC for specific requests. For example, if you know a specific title or an author's name, you can retrieve the full citation and locate the copy nearest to you, which you can then borrow through interlibrary loan.
Research Libraries Network
Several hundred major academic and research libraries belong to the Research Libraries Network (RLIN). While it operates cooperatively, much like OCLC, RLIN offers different search capabilities. In addition to author, title, and subject searches, key words and phrases can be found using sophisticated search techniques. Most major university libraries subscribe to RLIN and will help patrons make searches.
Catalogs of Manuscripts
Thousands of libraries across America have manuscript collections that include genealogies, family histories, and the research notes of professional and amateur genealogists on the many families they have researched. Any unpublished documents'journals, diaries, letters, business records, and church registers, among others'are manuscripts. A genealogy, pedigree chart, or a family history neatly typed or written in almost illegible, abbreviated notes is a manuscript as well. And a printed volume that has handwritten annotations can be a manuscript. In a genealogy or family history, these notes may be corrections to previously printed errors or new information, such as previously missing maiden surnames. In addition to the various library catalog networks, which can also help in locating manuscripts, two important tools are also available.
National Inventory of Documentary Sources (NIDS)
Many manuscript collections are too large to be fully described in the brief paragraph that appears in the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (discussed elsewhere in this chapter). Most repositories create inventories or finding aids for their large manuscript collections, so researchers can often determine if a manuscript collection has information of value by consulting such finding aids. Unfortunately, most such finding aids have very limited distribution'often only within the library or archive that houses the collection. Recognizing the value of these tools, Chadwyck-Healey, Inc. has begun publishing the finding aids for many research libraries on microfiche. The microfiche is accompanied by an index to the key subjects and persons mentioned in the finding aid. The National Inventory of Documentary Sources (NIDS) allows the researcher to get one step closer to the manuscript collection and to learn whether its contents will be of value. While most of these collections have little information of genealogical value, many that do include genealogical information are also described. NIDS is available at large research libraries, including government repository libraries. Beginning in 1993, the index to the various inventories was also published on CD-ROM. This valuable research collection is now also available online, as part of ArchivesUSA where researchers can access, print, and even download over 3,000 inventories of major manuscript collections.
For more information on locating manuscript collections using these sources, as well as online networks, see, 'Finding Manuscript Collections: NUCMC, NIDS, and RLIN,' by Mary McCampbell Bell, et al. in National Genealogical Society Quarterly.
National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections
Since 1959, the Library of Congress has solicited detailed descriptions of manuscript collections in public, private, and academic libraries. These indexed and cross-referenced descriptions are published in the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections. Published annually in printed volumes from 1962 through 1993, and online since 1986, this catalog, often referred to as the NUCMC, provides brief descriptions of approximately 120,000 different collections at 2,000 different repositories. While most of these collections are not genealogical, many are biographical, and at least 15,000 of them include genealogical information.
A two-volume cumulative Index to Personal Names in the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections, 1959'1984 , is an alphabetical arrangement of all the 'personal and family names appearing in the descriptions of manuscript collections cataloged from 1959 to 1984.'<ref>Index to Personal Names in the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections, 1959-1984, ii.</ref> Many of the 200,000 names in the index are entries for family information, which is typically genealogical. It is an excellent place to start a search for research notes that someone else may have compiled on a specific family.
Check also for the specific locality where your ancestors lived, the churches and schools they attended, other families they were associated with, and so on. These entries sometimes disclose invaluable sources'the location of a family Bible, diaries, letters, and so forth.
These volumes are especially valuable for records taken to places not associated with your family by relatives or family friends who moved away. For example, the personal papers of Zachariah Johnston, a resident of Rockbridge County, Virginia, were found in Durham, North Carolina. Searches in Rockbridge County disclosed the location of some of his papers in the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, but failed to disclose that a much larger collection had been deposited in Duke University at Durham, North Carolina, where one of the family members later settled. This collection was cataloged in the NUCMC.
Since the printed NUCMC volumes are typically only found in research libraries, and print copies have not been issued since 1993, the Internet is now the best way to access these descriptions of archive collections. The Library of Congress website includes the catalog entries from 1986 (when they began computerizing the entries) to the present. However, a subscription service called ArchivesUSA from Chadwyck-Healey (a ProQuest company) provides the NUCMC entries from the present all the way back to 1959. Look for this subscription service at major research libraries, typically affiliated with a university.

Bodies in Motion uses Gyrotonic to stretch and strengthen
By most standards, Christine Churchill is pretty active -- she plays hockey and squash, and practices tae kwon do and Pilates.
But at 48, she's realistic enough to know her career on the hockey rink or martial arts mat may not stretch on indefinitely.
Which is why, for the last year, she's begun Gyrotonic.
"I want to learn it now rather than starting it in my 60s," said Churchill, of Pound Ridge, N.Y. "I figure if I can do Gyrotonic when I'm 70, I will be a very healthy person."
To learn it, she's turned to Julie Hurgin, who has opened Bodies in Motion, a Pilates and Gyrotonic studio on Grove Street in Ridgefield.
"It's very one-on-one," Churchill said. "Julie's very enthusiastic, she's very well trained, and she understands the body."
More InformationBodies in Motion, a Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise studio, is open at 80 Grove St. in Ridgefield. For more information, call 203-438-0465 or visit www.nimct.com.
Like Churchill, Hurgin says Gyrotonic is the exercise method that has moved her, psychologically as well as physically.
"The first time I tried it, I thought `This is crazy,'" Hurgin, 31, said. "But right away I was hooked."
Gyrotonic is an exercise modality started by Juliu Horvath, an ethnic Hungarian born in Romania.
A professional ballet dancer, Horvath's dancing career ended with a torn Achilles' tendon and a herniated disk. He then began to develop a series of exercises combining both dancers' training and yoga that became Gyrotonic. He opened his first studio to teach it in 1982.
Hurgin said Gyrotonic has elements of yoga, gymnastics and dance, along with swimming and tai chi.
"It's very popular in New York City," Hurgin said. "A lot of dancers use Gyrotonic. It's good for people who play tennis and golf."
Hurgin, who is certified to teach both Pilates and Gyrotonic and has the apparatus to teach both in her studio, explained the difference between the two.
Pilates, she said, is linear. It emphasizes straight-lined, up and down movements. Gyrotonic, she said, is circular. It forces the body to stretch itself, strengthening muscles and connective tissues at the same time.
"It's elongating,'' Churchill said.
Hurgin said the exercise system can help prevent injuries. It's been used to rehabilitate people who have muscular-skeletal problems.
"I've had doctors refer me patients with herniated discs," Hurgin said. "The stretching helps to relieve pressure on the disc."
"I had some shoulder pain when I started Gyrotonic," Churchill said. "It's not why I started it, but I noticed after a couple of weeks that the pain had gone away."

I can honestly say I love golf and have been very lucky to have started at a young age. I was fortunate to not have to deal with knowing the bad swings, shots, or playing in the trees. At that age it was all fun and new. Now fast forward 30yrs and I find my emotions are not so much in check! The frustration of a bad shot now overrides that youthful joy! Sort of! You see, now that I am older, I understand where that bad shot came from, whereas, when I was 13 I had no idea. With that knowledge I now can correct my swing and forget the bad shot. Well we really don't forget and that can be the reason why we hate it at the same time. I know for me it's the challenge of wanting to improve my game. I think for those that started late its an even bigger challenge to overcome and so it takes a lot more effort to play. I can now say that I am extremely happy about my new venture in Golf Performance, with my experience of 25yrs in the fitness industry and 30yrs of golf it is a perfect match and I am opening up a Golf performance studio in Bellevue, and its called GO Long Fitness. I will be blogging about golf performance and how to bring back that love of the game.

This is my first attempt at writing something so I chose to start with some of my favorite dishes that will serve your health well. I like to use the seasons to guide my meals so i look for the freshest ingredients to start with. I try to stick with whole organic wild foods if available and that typically is called a hunter/gatherer diet, nothing comes in a package. This way I know for sure my meals are "clean" so to speak. As for the season, it is Fall and fish here in the Northwest are the best in the world, (my opinion of course). So the choices are abundant from Halibut to mackerel, which, by the way, is some of the best for your omegas......anyway if you can think of it, the Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean will have it. I try to find local fishermen to source from to encourage responsible fishing practices because we all have heard that certain species are threatened on a daily basis. If you don't like fish that's ok, you probably haven't had it prepared to your style of eating and therefore not had the right flavoring. I like to try new ways of preparing old meals, I always seem to surprise myself and discover a new spice or oil to enhance the meals. It is so refreshing when you find new spice of the week, mine this month was smoked paprika. I must have put it on everything including the fish. Anyway, in closing, I plan to post a few recipes in the coming weeks or so as I remember that I have a blog now so see ya next time

Details of Hot Tuna and the Ticket Luck value
Hot Tuna
Hot Tuna is an American band, formed by bassist Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. Ironically, the band's fans often refer to them loudly as Hot Fucking Tuna. Even Airplane lead vocalist Grace Slick introduced the pair with the middle expletive.At first Hot Tuna used to open Airplane concerts. As Jefferson Airplane slowly wound down in the early 1970s, the splinter group became a new musical entity in its own right.
Their early repertoire was derived mainly from American country blues artists such as Rev. Gary Davis, Jelly Roll Morton, Bo Carter and Arthur Blake. In 1970, Casady and Kaukonen added Will Scarlett on harmonica and released a live album, Hot Tuna. This album was recorded in the fall of 1969 and is affectionately known by Tunaphiles as the breaking glass album. This LP was followed by a long series of well received albums that played mostly to a small but devoted cult following. After 1978, aside from the eight year breakup, Hot Tuna have continued to perform to the present day.
After the release of the eponymous debut album, the band went electric. This configuration was dominated by the latter two's soul-rock compositions and opened most shows for the parent band throughout late 1969 and 1970. After a string of disastrous concerts in Jamaica marked by flaring tensions between Balin and Kaukonen, they briefly resumed their acoustic performances. In the autumn of 1970, they returned to the band format. The studio albums Burgers and The Phosphorescent Rat followed. These two albums featured compositions mainly of Kaukonen original material and included some of the guitarist's most delicate and poetic works. David Crosby sang supporting vocals on the Burgers track Highway Song, and Nick Buck made his first appearance on what would become a semi permanent tenure during the 1970s.
The year 1974 marked a departure from their primarily bluesy acoustic style when TUNA morphed into a heavy rock band. The albums America's Choice, Yellow Fever, and Hoppkorv, showcase a power trio with the addition of new drummer Bob Steeler. Kaukonen's electric guitar playing was exceptionally multi-layered. This style continued on tracks such as Song for the Fire Maiden, Sunrise Dance with the Devil and the closing number Surphase Tension. Hot Tuna live performances during this period were characterize by free-flow improvisational jams and very long sets with extended versions of their studio material. Because of this, they are often considered a forerunner of modern jam bands, such as Phish.
In 1978, Casady and Kaukonen went their separate ways and pursued short-lived careers in the new wave bands SVT and Vital Parts, respectively. In the mid-1980s they re-formed Hot Tuna with guitarist and producer Michael Falzarano. Their first album of all new material in almost 14 years was 1990s Pair of Dice Found with New Yorker Harvey Sorgen playing drums. Kaukonen and Falzarano both contributed original songs.
Throughout the 1990s, Tuna again alternated between acoustic and electric styles. The two Sweetwater albums were predominantly acoustic sets. The 1997 release Live in Japan was evocative of the very first Hot Tuna album. Falzarano stayed with the band until 2002 when he left to release and promote his solo album The King James Sessions.
Most recently, they have toured with multi-instrumentalist Barry Mitterhoff and drummer Erik Diaz. Hot Tuna appeared at Merlefest, America's largest folk music festival in April 2006.
Throughout the band's history they garnered much fan support based on their pro-taping policy, allowing fans to record their live shows. Recently the band has changed their stance, no longer permitting taping.
Kaukonen and Casady are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as former members of Jefferson Airplane.
An acoustic spinoff of the American rock band Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna became a full fledge band in 1970. After seeing a frequent change in lineup, it currently plays with four members. Taking the shape of blues rock band, Hot Tuna is led by one of the best bass guitarists in the rock music genre, Jack Casady along with the equally talented Jorma Kaukonen. Other members include the sensational musician Barry Mitterhoff and the drummer Skoota Warner.
The band released its self-titled album in 1970 and it immediately found place on the Billboard 200 Album chart. Hot Tuna has so far released 25 albums, the latest one hitting the stores in April 2011. Steady As She Goes claimed a spot on Billboard Independent Albums and won rave reviews from the critics. The album has also used the expertise of other artists and has Larry Campbell rocking various instruments and Teresa Williams on vocals.
Living legends and Rock n Roll Hall of Famers, Casady and Kaukonen have brought in their years of experience in this album. Artfully blending rock music with blues, the duo has laced the songs with acoustic folk rhythms. Offering a spectrum of styles, Steady As She Goes is considered a masterpiece.
Hot Tuna has hit the road with the album and will be seen rocking the arenas in different cities. To catch the live version of Angel of Darkness and Things That Might Have Been, get your Hot Tuna tickets as soon as possible. It'll be a night to remember.

NYC Lawmakers Threaten Brooklyn College Over Controversial Forum
February 4, 2013
The last few days have seen controversy brewing over a planned event at Brooklyn College. The planned February 7 event, titled "BDS Movement Against Israel" and co-sponsored by several student groups as well as Brooklyn College's political science department, is slated to feature Judith Butler and Omar Barghouti, two proponents of the push to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel (hence the "BDS" shorthand). Particularly controversial has been the political science department's co-sponsorship of the event—which some have criticized as constituting an official endorsement of the event and the views of its speakers by Brooklyn College.

Further information
Alan began as a physicist. However, he developed an interest in computing early on through signal processing for gamma ray burst detectors, and so switched to engineering after his BSc. His post graduate research at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton, was in adaptive filtering, and novel methods of recovering corrupted signals. Alan also worked on novel methods of noise cancellation, both passive and active.
After leaving the ISVR Alan worked for the UK government for many years, for whom he still provides advice through his industrial activities. He has particular expertise in, and continues to conduct research into, cyber security, covert communications, forensic computing and image/signal processing. Alan has been involved in some of the most significant advances in computer technology which have seen him elected as a Fellow and chartered member of the British Computer Society, Institute of Physics and the Royal Statistical Society.
In addition to his academic and government work, Alan has run businesses focussed on various aspects of Information Technology (IT). In 2000 Alan was pivotal in the flotation of Charteris plc on the London Stock Exchange. He remained a director until 2008 at which point he began to focus back on his academic interests. Alan continues to be a director on businesses involved in IT.

Note: In the following essay and poem, Rhodes advances the conversation between science and faith in two distinct ways: first, she describes the way that the practice of science can be very much like the creative work of poets and artists, as both begin with careful, even loving observation of the natural world. Second, she shows that both the natural world and our scientific engagement with it are sources of new, rich metaphors that help us understand and dwell in our dual identity as both creators and creatures.
To watch birds being banded is, for me, to step inside an extraordinary space I recognize as being both an artist's studio and a scientist's lab occupied by God the Creator. The recognition is a bit like the sacred glimpse we get in reading Proverbs 8:22-30, seeing the Creator joyfully at work. I've observed bird banding twice: once at Steele Creek Park in Bristol, Tennessee several years ago, and again in May, 2010, at Seashore State Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The first experience led to my poem, "Banding," a white-heat composition that left me too excited to sleep, for it was one of those rare occasions when the rod you throw down turns into a snake, and you encounter a power that feels miraculous. Indeed, writing this poem became an act of worship.
The second experience led to a different sort of response, more of a factual report. Here it is, (slightly revised) from my website blog dated May 15, 2010:
"Just back from the banding station at Seashore State Park. What an incredible experience. The ornithologist, Peter, and his aides, Mindy and Dannie, must have bagged 100 birds--including a yellow-billed cuckoo. I'd never seen a cuckoo--very impressive bird with his checkered tail like a racing flag. There were warblers of all sorts--black poll, magnolia, common yellow throat. There were catbirds and redstarts, marsh sparrows and thrushes. Peter would open each white cloth bag and carefully insert his hand to capture the bird. It was like Christmas morning, each sack with its gift of a bird. He would first band it, using the correct "ring" size, unscroll the wing to measure it, blow on its breast so as to see how fat or thin it was--this was measured on a scale of 1 to 4--he measured the tail, checked for ticks, determined the age by various markings and feathers. The bird would be passed to Dannie for weighing and held by the feet upside down into a cylinder set on a scale (some baptism!), and then, glory, released! All of this data would be entered into a computer there in the field.
Then came a surprising moment when Peter, seeing his aides had left the station to check the nets, handed me his book and said to write down the figures he would be dictating. He rattled them off as he inspected his birds, along with abbreviations I didn't understand, and I know I made a mess of it all, but what a thrill to feel like a REAL scientist doing REAL field research.
Once home, I looked up all the birds I had seen by going to the Cornell "All About Birds" site (ornithology lab) to learn their songs with hopes of recognizing some of the ones I've heard. I can say with confidence that I can recognize the songs of an Eastern wood peewee, a Carolina wren, an osprey, and a Northern parula warbler, to name a few. But as for the thousand others...I have a 'veery' long way to go!"
A few thoughts occur to me as I consider both banding experiences. There were facts and technical details to be learned each time. There were the birds themselves with their gorgeous crowns and streaks and flashes of color, their helplessness in the hand of the bander—the birds, astounding fliers, who have never understood how much I admire them, how much joy their songs and antics bring to my life, how I sometimes wish to enter their world. And finally, there were the names, so varied and intriguing—the white-throated sparrow, the nuthatch—and the great pleasure of solving the puzzle of who it is sporting that eye-ring or fluting so mellifluously. All these facts brimming over bring me ever closer to the flash of creation and stir within me an excitement and a yearning which writing a poem both intensifies and satisfies.
by Suzanne Underwood Rhodes
The nets of God hang in every wild place
to catch the unwary migrant,
one with the skull still soft, the journey barely started,
another to fall from the sky on the ten thousandth mile,
but when he holds one of those small terrified
bodies like a jewel between his thumb and forefinger
and unfans the wing to measure it, secretly admiring
the bars he conceived to catch his own hungry eye,
and the little claw foot he rings with a coded band
that numbers the feathers and weds him forever
to the pulse in his palm that recalls his own heaving heart
the day he flew into a net and hung there thirsting
in the woods where only a wasp moved,
flicking cobalt wings—
when he lets go, when he flings what he has marked
into emptiness, he follows the speck with his eye
to South America and farther, to white unmapped fields
known intimately in the minds of those who fly.
from What a Light Thing, This Stone (Sow's Ear Press, 1999).
The photograph of a warbler caught in the ornithologist's net was taken at Virginia's Seashore (now First Landing) State Park, May 14, 2011 by G. Wayne Rhodes during the second banding project described above.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In only his second collegiate soccer game, freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) scored two goals, helping the Engineers defeat local foe Emerson, 5-0. After scoring a goal in Friday's game against Bridgewater State, Bingham's two goals against the Lions brought his season total to a team leading three. Sophomore Nick Diamantoni (Belle Mead, N.J.) racked up two assists. This win brings MIT's record to 2-0, while Emerson's ledger lowered to 0-1.
Within 13 minutes of the start of the first half, MIT had taken six shots on Emerson's goal, two of them being saved by the Lions' goalkeeper, Carter Bowers. It wasn't until the 37th minute that Diamantoni was able to sneak the ball past Bowers and into the net after a corner kick by senior Chris Hammond (Wilmington, Del.). Diamantoni was able to put the ball in the back of the net after intercepting an Emerson clear attempt, officially putting MIT on the board.
From there, the Engineers only got stronger. Just 12 minutes into the second half, MIT had raised their score three points, furthering their lead over Emerson. Bingham, who was assisted by Diamantoni, tallied his first goal of the game. Bingham wasted no time before scoring another goal, just six minutes after his first one, with the help of freshman Austin Freel (San Diego, Calif.). One minute later, junior Jonathan Tebes (Hamden, Conn.) was able to get the ball past Bowers again when he was assisted by Diamantoni.
In the 62nd minute, freshman Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.) made his collegiate debut in the goal when he replaced sophomore Samuel Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y.). Throughout his time in the net, the Lions only made one attempt at a goal and Amereno was able to save it.
With less than five minutes left in the second half, sophomore Bokil Lopez-Pineda (Eagan, Minn.) shot the ball into the net, scoring his first goal of the season and raising the score to 5-0, where it would remain until the clock ran out.
The Engineers will return to the field when they travel to Framingham State University on Tuesday, Sept. 4. The Lions will be hosting Newbury College on Sept. 6.

James Allen: Two area players headed to Wagner
Nick Griffin wanted to play Division I football. Jason Clas wanted the same.
Griffin and Clas, who both trained with Mike Grasso at Competitive Edge, now share something else in common: the same college football program.
Within 36 hours, and unbeknownst to the other, Clas (Bethlehem) and Griffin (Shaker) each made oral commitments to accept scholarships from coach Walt Hameline at Wagner University — a member of the Football Championship Subdivision that competes in the Northeast Conference.
"I visited and I loved it immediately," Clas said.
Clas, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound running back/defensive end at Bethlehem, made his decision Friday night after visiting the school Thursday.
At Wagner, Clas will play tight end and H-back.
"I may line up some at fullback, too," Clas said.
"His film was great to watch. He jumped off the screen," said Grasso, who is an assistant coach at Bishop Maginn, played football at Rhode Island and spent three years in the minors playing baseball with the Atlanta Braves. "His versatility, size and speed made Jason someone they wanted to have."
Clas rushed for 827 yards and nine touchdowns and earned first-team Empire Division honors for his work on the defensive line.
Griffin, a 6-4, 260-pound defensive tackle, received a scholarship offer from Hameline Friday and mulled it over for a day before deciding to play for the Seahawks early Sunday.
Both Clas and Griffin plan to major in business.
Clas figured he would likely end up competing at the Division III level, but Grasso sent a tape to Wagner and they immediately contacted him.
"Wagner came out of nowhere," Clas said. "I went down and met with the coaches and players. It was just a great situation."
Griffin, named a first-team large-school all-star by the Times Union in 2013, had drawn interest from several schools, including Syracuse, UMass and Maine.
It did not take long for Griffin to realize, following his official visit to Wagner, he had discovered his college destination.
"I feel really good about the decision," Griffin said.
Griffin, the 2013 Liberty Division Defensive Player of the Year, earned third-team Class AA state all-star honors. He helped Shaker reach the 2013 Section II Class AA Super Bowl after winning it in 2012.
The senior standout showed off his athleticism when he returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown in a 35-0 victory over Columbia on Oct. 4.
Like Clas, Griffin said the individual training with Grasso enhanced his chances of landing a scholarship.
"Mike really helped me out a lot. That work really made me become much more athletic, helping me make big plays," Griffin said.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, went on a wintry jaunt to Windermere today, where she hung out a the Great Tower Scout camp. We assumed she was roasting the entrails of her enemies — quite good for nourishing the royal fetus — but apparently it's traditional unleavened camping bread. Yum?
Official caption:
WINDERMERE, UNITED KINGDOM - MARCH 22: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visits Great Tower Scout camp on March 22, 2013 in Windermere, Cumbria, United Kingdom. The Duchess of Cambridge attended a scout volunteer training day today in Newby Bridge in Cumbria. The training course is being run in Great Tower, one of the Scout Association's national activity centres set in 250 acres of land offering a wide range of land and water based activities, including archery, low and high ropes, climbing, abseiling, sailing and canoeing.
