Smasher:Old Man G
Old Man G, formerly MagiMagi and Antheia, is a Smash 4 Mewtwo main from Northern Ireland. He is best known for being the first player from any part of the United Kingdom to reach the Top 16 of a super-major in Smash 4. Originally being a Sheik main up until her nerf in Patch 1.1.5, he dropped her for Mewtwo as he was buffed in the same patch and his results improved drastically. His breakout performance was at Crossover which took place 11 days after the patch where Mewtwo was buffed and caused many upsets in his losers bracket run (including Skarfelt) and didn't lose any games in Top 8 up until Grand Finals against MINT where he lost 0-3 finishing at 2nd. His most notable performance in the UK has been at Albion 2 where he upset players such as S1 and double eliminated Ixis and went to a game 5 last hit situation with cyve before losing 2-3 finishing at 3rd. He is ranked 1st on the Ireland Power Rankings and 9th on the European Smash 4 Power Rankings.
In Melee, he plays Ice Climbers and Fox and is currently ranked 7th on the Ireland Power Rankings. He has set wins on Craft, Verdant, and Bombo.
He notably beat CaptainZack, ANTi, Eon, and Craftis at Super Smash Con 2018, placing 9th at said event.
On August 30th, 2018, MagiMagi left Hound Esports. [1] He temporarily changed his tag to Antheia for competitive play in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and has occasionally entered brackets under DAVID, his own name. Currently, he has apparently switched tags with the previous Old Man G.
Tournament history[edit]
Before picking up Mewtwo, MagiMagi was a Sheik main who played decently at tournaments including a 13th place finish at Celtic Throwdown 2015. However after Patch 1.1.5 was released which had nerfed Sheik, MagiMagi decided to drop her and main Mewtwo. Just over a week after the patch came out, MagiMagi attended a nearby tournament called Crossover featuring some of Ireland's best players (MINT, Skarfelt, etc.). After getting sent to losers very early in the bracket, he made an impressive losers bracket run eliminating notable players such as maXy, Hackle Serpent and Skarfelt in a shocking upset at the time before losing 0-3 to MINT in Grand Finals finishing at 2nd place.
MagiMagi's next tournament appearance would be at Newry Hosts Super Smash Bros. V: The South Strikes Back where he managed to make it out his pool on winners side and managed to get into winners semis where he beat RedSlasher 2-0 before losing to Skarfelt in winners finals 1-3 and then lose to sp00n in losers finals 1-3 finishing at 3rd place.
He attended Smash the Pale 4 later that month and swept through winners bracket beating WeirdWolf 2-0, Way 2-0 to make it into winners side of Top 8 and Blue Persil 3-2 in winners semis before losing to Hackle Serpent 0-3 in winners finals and MINT 0-3 in losers finals finishing at 3rd place once again.

Even after helping Old Town High School win the Class B state championship last season, Garvey Melmed was unsure what his basketball future might entail.
He decided to set his goals high.
Melmed has been rewarded for his talent and drive as he has earned a spot on the University of Maine roster.
"It's really exciting," said Melmed, who is among three nonscholarship players to make the team that is now under the direction of first-year head coach Bob Walsh.
The Black Bears' other walk-ons are sophomore guard C.J. Ward and former Greely High School guard Peter Westra, who is a senior.
Melmed, a 6-foot-1 guard from Greenbush, said he looked at a lot of schools, but was encouraged to pursue basketball after he decided to attend UMaine as an engineering student.
"I got a lot of support from my friends and family and coaches and they all pushed me to try out here. It all played out really well," he said.
Melmed, who also played baseball and soccer at Old Town, trained hard during the summer to prepare himself for the chance to impress the UMaine coaching staff.
Walsh explained that Melmed, Ward and Westra were among 8-10 players who went through the tryout process by working out and playing with the Black Bears during the preseason.
"It's pretty simple, everybody who contacted us who was interested in trying out for the team got a chance," said Walsh, who was hired at UMaine after leading Division III Rhode Island College to a 204-63 record and eight straight trips to the NCAA tournament in nine seasons.
"I've always felt like finding great walk-ons adds a lot of value to your team. Their role is to be on the team and, just like everybody else, to help us win," Walsh said.
The Black Bears have 15 players on their roster, 12 of whom are on scholarship. UMaine has one available scholarship.
Melmed averaged 10 points, eight rebounds and three steals last season at Old Town for coach Brian McDormand. His efforts earned him the BDN's William C. Warner Award as the most valuable player of the Eastern Maine Class B tournament.
Walsh pointed to Melmed's basketball aptitude in adjusting to UMaine's system as one of his strengths.
"He's got a great feel for the game and he's picked up our defensive stuff really quickly," Walsh said. "I imagine he had a real good high school coach. He just seems more comfortable with all the stuff we're doing than the average freshman, which is a good sign."
That said, Melmed admitted there also are plenty of physical challenges in trying to compete with UMaine's Division I athletes.
"They first day I got a screen set on me and no one called it out. It almost knocked me out when I hit into his chest," Melmed said, laughing. "I'm a lot more comfortable on the floor now, but definitely at first it was a little tough getting used to."
Looking back, he believes his experience at Old Town and his support system have been important factors in his ability to work his way onto the UMaine roster.
"Last year, that was a huge confidence booster for me," Melmed said. "On top of that, everyone's pushing me, everyone wanted me to do this and get this far."
Walsh said UMaine's nonscholarship players will practice and compete alongside the scholarship athletes with no distinctions drawn in terms of their status on the squad.
"We don't treat them any differently," he said.
Ward attended UMaine last year, but did not play basketball. The 5-11 guard played at Plymouth North High School in Massachusetts, then attended Tabor Academy, where he averaged 15 points, six assists and three steals under coach Chris Millette, who is a friend of Walsh.
Ward's father, Chris Ward, played at Rhode Island College from 1977-1981.
Walsh explained that Melmed and Ward have similar attributes.
"Both of them are tough kids who compete hard, can defend (at either guard spot)," he said. "We anticipate they can help us a lot."
Melmed said that while the transition from high school to college — both in terms of basketball and academics — is challenging, he is determined to make the most of the opportunity as UMaine begins a new era under Walsh.
"Hopefully I can work with it, stay with it and continue to earn a spot for the next few years and work and learn with this new coaching staff as well."
Melmed will debut his No. 22 UMaine jersey on Oct. 22 at the "Black Bears Fan Jam" event scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.
The Black Bears play an exhibition game on Nov. 1 at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham.
Open practice slated Sunday
The Maine men's basketball team will hold an open practice Sunday, Oct. 19 at Memorial Gymnasium in Orono.
The practice will begin at 9 a.m. and typically lasts between three and four hours.
Fans and attendees will have their first opportunity to their first look at the 2014-15 Black Bears as they prepare for the season.

Cockers - The Story
By Tiggs
January 2 2017
Well, as many hoped, and others feared, Richard has gone. Let's take a look back at his career.
He started as an amatuer playing for Newbold upon Avon, before joining Coventry in 1991.
He moved to Tigers in 1992 making 250 appearances, before leaving in 2002 to join French side Montferrand.
During his playing time at Tigers he won the Cup twice, the League 5 times, the Playoff Trophy once, and the European Cup twice.
He played 27 times for England between 1997 - 1999, scoring 15 pts. before criticising SCW in his book, and never played for England again.
He re-joined Tigers in 2004/5 playing just 5 more games, and becoming Tigers Forwards Coach.
He then served as acting head coach in the early part of 2007/8, before Loffreda arrived .
He also took over as acting head coach in February 2009, after Meyer resigned due to family reasons.
On 17 April 2009, Cockerill was confirmed as head coach.
As Tigers Head Coach and Director of Rugby, Tigers won 4 League titles, and made 4 other League Finals.
Tigers also won the Anglo-Welsh Cup twice, and made 1 more Final.
Tigers also made 2 European Finals under Richard, but lost both.
Whatever the reasons, and rights and wrongs of Richards leaving, one thing for sure is that is a sad day for Tigers, and Richard, as Richard epitomised everything that it meant to be a Tiger.pqs: qs:

Dear readers who forgot about me or have wondered where I have been,
There's been a lot and a lot of nothing going on around here. What started as wanting to change my blogging identity turned into apathy for the whole process of crafting and documenting it in general. I guess you could say… I gave up.
I would like to say that besides that, life has been good to me and the marine. We are still together and still enjoying each other's company. :) Nothing about us has changed, it's just me.
I've been putting a lot of excuses behind why I haven't blogged or done anything really productive for the past however many months it has been. First that "crafty camo lover" isn't really who I am. I actually really don't like camo as a whole. The only camo I remotely like is the USMC's version of digital camo. So I'm lying to myself as well as anyone who reads my blog and I don't want to do that anymore. Secondly, it became so overwhelming trying to keep up with the blogs I follow as well as trying to take pictures and write stories about things that I've crafted. Not to mention the act of crafting itself has become something forced. I have plenty of ideas and will definitely want to get them out sometime, but lately it has been all about doing other people's projects and not coming up with any on my own or doing anything for me. (For that I blame pinterest, lol.) I guess I wasn't cut out for this kind of blogging experience. I'm more of a "blog whenever I want or feel crafty enough to" kind of person and I feel bad for disappointing anyone who has found my blog to be just that.
I'm sure some day I will return to blogging once I find an identity that suits me better and I can be more comfortable with. Until then, I would like to thank those of you who supported me during the time when I was blogging and for being my good bloggy friends while it lasted. I'm sorry that I haven't been as good to you as you were to me during this time of absence. I'm glad to see that some of you are still trucking along and haven't faltered like I have. :)
Best wishes to all of you, and I hope to see you soon!

Daily practice continues without interruptions. I went to Deepak Chopra's speech a while ago, and he said something that stuck with me "when you don't have time to meditate, meditate twice." When I think I can only squeeze in 15 min of practice, I do it twice and the second time around it ends up being AMAZING.
I am happy to report my home practice is flourishing, and I am feverish with excitement about the trip to Europe. Already explored some yoga studios online. Stay tuned, as I will be sending updates shortly.
In love and light,

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius – The Tale of the Fire Signals – These Hearth Up All the things!
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius – Mucho Hearth
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are about the perpetuation with certainty about the existing order. They are the-fireplace things: Zeal and bravery, they don on their belt. Given that they have their certainty, the unknown and the unexplored, they can face with alacrity. They rarely present worry and are assured in their steps. With out retreat or hesitancy they surge ahead. Its much more like they you should not acknowledge defeat.
If you have any thoughts regarding wherever and how to use fire watch guards, you can make contact with us at our webpage.
That's far better than fighting off panic. They get their electric power from their religious mother nature. Their perception of righteousness is manifest in their adoration of winning. For the reason that they feel ideal, they are forthright. Mainly because they are appropriate and forthright, it is really tricky for them to see a cause for apologizing or retracting their statements.
When you listen to an astrologer say of Aries and Leo, or Leo and Sagittarius or Sagittarius and Aries — "Perfectly, at least your both equally fire indications?" What does that imply?
A chief phrase: "Fire Indication" tells the matter or the astrologer that you method info and everyday living and stimulation and associations a particular way.
You could say: "Oh, its the way Aries, Leo and Sagittarius method details. And people today in the know, or believe they are in the know, understand what is intended when this is mentioned…but however….what does it suggest?
Righteousness is without a doubt a effective aspect. Experience an inner feeling of certainty about righteousness, their perception of placement and value emboldens them. The mysterious then turns into territory that ought to be built appropriate. Therefore, they conquer without the need of fear. Feel of ALLIED ideas: Martial arts, Law enforcement, Social Buy, Combating enemies of the Fantastic. Crusades, advancements, tasks to strengthen culture. "Finding it performed". Sounds easy, but oh, the way these issues manifest.
The Great Mission
At this place, it may be instructive to allude to a stage, that will be prevalent to all content. You see, Twelve individuals go out on a magic formula mission in the woods. They want to go to an aged mine and see if they can uncover a treasure there. But, if they are unable to find the treasure, they will just have lunch at the mine, where by there is a minimal lake and a waterfall. Swim after lunch and go residence.
So How Do Aries, Leo and Sagittarius as Hearth Indications Suit Into The Mission?
We will talk of Air, Earth, Drinking water triplicities and of program, now: Fire Indications. The Aries read about the Mine, the people today who required to go, and the foods and fun many preferred. The Aries arrived up with a day to launch on. Aries pushes for anything new. They imagine something is gradual or backward unless of course it is in ahead motion. The Leo joined in and preferred to guide the way into the Mine in a scout development. He was not concerned of damage and understood that God would be with them. The Sagittarius leaped about the fence on the street to the mine. The Sag wished to ride position and crystal clear the way. Like a cavalryman waiting for the flash of his sword in the glare of the solar, he desired to be remembered as capturing the key treasure. There was previously a potential conflict among the Leo and the Sagittarius.
Really don't search for sensitivity and empathy from a Fireplace Sign. Dodgeball? Of course, indeed. Aries symptoms do not have a inclination to choose themselves harshly. At times they can appear to be with out consciousness, or a sense of guilt. Leo signs love uniforms and can be garish and outlandish, specially if it has something to do with their identity or official mission. The man who caught off his arm to take away himself from a wedge in the cliff, to conserve his life was almost certainly a Sagittarius. Kevin Costner's move in "Dances with Wolves", using in front of the rebels who have been in line to shoot him, was very Sagittarian.
What About The Mission?
Early in the strategy, Aries became recognized as the just one who arrived up with the idea, even though it was not him. Aries was often speaking about it, creating it materialize. Leo was happy to be a recruiter simply because they called him "Captain". Leo came up with a plan for departure and plotted a approach for approaching the Mine and dividing the prey, even before it was obtained. Sagittarius rallied the troops and obtained some supplies. The Centaur needed to not only direct the way, but provide a rear guard for any team that understood about the treasure, and the food items and the fun at the lake. It would not be honest, if the program was spoiled.
A lot more Clinical Aries
Aries leaps into motion and provides a sense of rightness to a new endeavor. They are not pretty very good finishers, so he may request a journey on just one of the horses or vehicles that Sagittarius was giving. Aries seeks management and a happy hand and a sense of importance. Aries liking the appreciation of other individuals is pushing his character ahead so the mission will succeed.

A technology company based in Indiana was about to go public. A crucial conference call was scheduled with Wall Street investors, Silicon Valley venture capitalists and Chicago-based financial analysts.
When the call began, only half of the people were on the line. Members of the company panicked. Was it a result of poor scheduling, faulty phone connections or last-minute reservations?
None of the above. Blame it on daylight-saving time.
"The investment bankers didn't know what time it was in Indiana," said John Gibbs, co-founder of Interactive Intelligence, an Indiana-based software company. "They apologized, but it was more embarrassing to me."
Daylight-saving time begins Sunday at 2:00 a.m.
Indiana, Hawaii and Arizona are the three states that do not observe the yearly time change. Seventy countries around the globe, meanwhile, participate in daylight-saving time.
But the time in Indiana is more confusing than one could imagine. Of the 92 counties in the state, 10 are in the Central time zone and observe daylight-saving time. The remaining 82 are in the Eastern time zone but do not observe the change.
To make things even more complicated, five Indiana counties near the Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky, area illegally observe daylight-saving time so they can do business with these cities smoothly and without time conflicts.
"They're a bunch of leftover 60s radicals down there," said Brian Williams, a member of the Hoosier Daylight Coalition, an organization trying to pass legislation to make daylight-saving time a state-wide practice.
There is, however, opposition. Some people like it just fine without daylight-saving time.
"We're not going to let a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington tell us what time it is in Indiana," said Bob Kraft, director of state government relations for the Indiana Farm Bureau.
A resolution was recently passed in Indiana to create a committee to study the merits of daylight-saving time and the idea of one time zone for the Hoosier State, Williams said. The results of the study will be presented to the Indiana House of Representatives for review in 2002.
Supporters of the resolution said that, as more business is done over the phone, too much time is taken organizing confusing time schedules and that uses unnecessary staff hours.
There are safety benefits with daylight-saving time.
According to a website about the history of daylight-saving time, "Several studies in the U.S. and Britain have found that daylight, almost certainly because of improved visibility, substantially decreases (by four times) the likelihood of pedestrians being killed on the roads."
Additionally, energy is conserved with daylight-saving time. With more daylight in the spring and summer, people go outdoors to take advantage of the extra daylight hours. Clearly, when people are not home, they don't use as much electricity. Amid California's energy angst, a recent resolution introduced by State Sen. Betty Karnette proposed that the state observe daylight-saving time year-round.
"Frankly, I get more support calls on this issue than anything I've ever introduced," she said. "I was having my hair done today at the salon and the girls said, 'Oh please, Betty, I hope it goes through.'"
Daylight-saving time may be popular, but opponents are adamant that it is a decision that should be made at the state level.
"Farmers find that they want to be participants in evening activities," Kraft said. "If you're working in the fields, that makes it difficult."
Kraft also said farmers rely on teenagers in rural areas to work in their fields. Younger workers will be less likely to be able to work in the field in the evening when their parents want them home for dinner.
Another concern is that if the Eastern time zone of Indiana were to observe daylight-saving time, children in the rural areas would have to wait for the morning school bus in the dark.
There are economic concerns as well.
Owners of movie theaters, restaurants and bars are not fans of daylight-saving time. Patrons are less likely to frequent these establishments when it is still light outside, Kraft said.
The history of this highly debated issue begins in 1784 when Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay titled "An Economical Project," while he was an American delegate in Paris.
His idea was met with some intrigue, but mainly opposition, until World War I. In 1918, in order to conserve fuel needed for the war effort, the United States was placed on daylight-saving time for seven months.
"The law, however, proved so unpopular (mostly because people rose earlier and went to bed earlier than we do today) that the law was later repealed in 1919 over President Wilson's veto," according to the daylight-saving time website.
Regardless, daylight-saving time was observed once again for an entire year during World War II, but the standards on daylight-saving time remained inconsistent until 1966 when The Uniform Time Act of 1966 was signed into law that stated it would begin on the last Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed a law that changed daylight-saving time from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.
Daylight-saving time lasted 10 months in the United States in 1974 and eight months in 1975 following the oil crisis, in hopes of saving additional energy.
Supporters of daylight-standard time acknowledge some of the risks of having less light in the morning.
"I wouldn't want my kindergartner walking to school when it's dark out," Karnette said. "But why not start school later?"
She also dismissed the farmer's argument.
"You can milk cows anytime," Karnette said. "If you're a farmer, get up earlier."

BOCA RATON, Fla. (WDAM) _ Five turnovers by quarterback Jack Abraham, including four interceptions, helped doom the Southern Miss to a 34-17 defeat Saturday at Florida Atlantic in the regular-season finale for both teams.
"It didn't bounce our way, for sure," Southern Miss coach Jay Hopson said. "Way too many turnovers and we had a couple of missed assignments.
"But other than those missed assignments, we were fairly steady for the most part defensively. Offensively, we had a rough day."
The win clinched Conference USA's East Division for the Owls (9-3) and locked a host spot for them in Saturday's C-USA championship game, where theyy will take on UAB.
The loss, Southern Miss' second in a row to end conference play, ruined any hopes the Golden Eagles had harbored of earning the East Division crown and earning a title game spot.
Instead, Southern Miss (7-5) will wait to hear whether its bowl eligibility will be rewarded with a postseason slot.
The Golden Eagles held the football for more than 38 minutes, running 76 plays on offense. But Southern Miss managed just 258 yards total offense, its worst output against conference competition and second-lowest on the season only to the 228 yards at Alabama.
"All around, pretty tough day at the office, offensively," Hopson said. "I was proud of their fight. I thought we played hard … But we just kept giving them the ball in short field positions."
Two Zac Everett punts, one of 7 yards, the other of 23 yards, set up the Owls deep in Southern Miss territory. Two of Abraham's interceptions came inside the FAU 10-yard line.
All told, the five turnovers led directly to 14 FAU points.
FAU managed just 300 yards total yards, but had two touchdown drives of two plays and a third consisting of one.
FAU quarterback Chris Robison completed just eight passes, but three went for touchdowns to Harrison Bryant. Robison was intercepted by Malik Shorts in the second quarter, leading to Southern Miss' first touchdown.
Trailing 17-0, the Golden Eagles scored on a 23-yard field goal by Andrew Stein and an 8-yard run by Steven Anderson (54 yards rushing) to get within 17-10 at halftime.
But FAU went back up by two scores when Abraham was sacked and fumbled, with the Owls returning the ball to the 3-yard line.
FAU running back B.J. Emmons (71 yards rushing) scored on the next play for a 24-10 lead.
Abraham, who completed 25-of-39 passes for 182 yards, capped a 70-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run to pull Southern Miss within 24-17 later in the third quarter.
But Abraham was intercepted twice in a fourth quarter that saw the Owls outscore the Golden Eagles 10-0 to lock up the win.

Post subject: The Grinches who stole Gorge winds finally RETURN it!
Hi Gang,
See post below showing why more normal winds finally returned today Tuesday, July 31
Despite the recent unusual heat wave winds at the Hatch and Swell the Gorge has had long periods of mild summer wind despite the epic winds of May.
The phrase I hear repeatedly is "The Gorge is broken"
So what has caused the long heat waves and weak winds and where has all the wind gone?
This e-mail report from Crissy Field in the Bay Area is your first hint:
"Today, for the first time ever at Crissy, I rigged a 3.4. Finally after two day of being wildly overpowered on the 3.7, the 3.4 was like magic. It felt so normal and so good.
"Its just crazy. Three days in a row I could have sailed 3.4 at Crissy in July!!! Different day, same wind. And you can imagine the swell at the north tower. The gorge has moved south. Come on down.
(my wife) on 2.8, (a friend who weighs 158) on a 3.0, Me (weighing in at 168) on a 3.4 Never would have believed this could happen if youd told me in the past."
Your 2nd and 3rd hints are in today's model imagery below as is the most important hint ie. when the Gorge winds will return. So using those hints take your shot at explaining it all! Meanwhile, I will work up a blog covering all this in depth.

Just a little context for the wind report at Crissy. It has been socked in with fog most of the month of July with very little wind close to the launch and freezing cold. There are a handful of intrepid sailors who shlog out to this nuking wind and are very skilled at both getting there and getting back. My hats off to them.
I spent five days in the Gorge about a week ago. Two very windy gusty days and three warm days. It was so nice to be in shorts and not only enjoying a little windsurfing, but an awesome day stand up paddling, another awesome day on the mountain bike up at Post Canyon, and another awesome day exploring some waterfalls on the Washington side. Decades ago, I would have lamented the "lack of wind" but lately I have such a great appreciation of what a wonderful place the Gorge is to visit and spend time.

Hi Rigatoni
Glad you had a great time in the Gorge! But I think your post is sort of "preaching to the choir." Most of us moved to the Gorge because we came to the same conclusion you did: amazing windsurfing plus incredible beauty, biking, SUPing, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, kiting, kayaking and fishing etc.
That said, most users of the Gorge iwindsurf site count windsurfing as their primary sports passion in the summer. And for most of us the Gorge winds have sometimes seemed mysteriously broken this season. Worse it has often been too hot for hiking, skiing and some other sports.
So the intent of the post was not to put down the Gorge we love but rather to give Gorge folks some hints as to why the Gorge has had so such prolonged heat and often unusually mild wind this summer.
And I would bet at times a lot of us would have gladly made a 3-day trade of our 90s temps and brief winds for a Crissy 3.7 day and 50-degree air temps. And all of us would love to see the more of a Crissy type marine layer choking the western corridor like it used to do in our Dawn Patrol days. But having made that long Crissy slog many times myself I think most Gorge folks would skip that part of a trade.
Enjoying epic windsurfing winds and appreciating the Gorges beauties and other sports are not mutually exclusive. Indeed one of many definitions of a perfect Gorge summer day is to ski Timberline in the morning, windsurf the Hatch midday and then kayak or SUP in the late afternoon.
Yes, you can have it all in the Gorge! And today, finally, the Gorge has repaired itself with gusts over 30!

Hi Gang
Well, the Gorge appears mostly fixed today. Compare the model output at the Surface and at about 18,000 ft. for Sunday vs. Today Tuesday.
Notice how the heat producing upper high pressure is exiting eastward. Meanwhile, at the surface, the North Pacific High's is bars are now stacked over the Gorge making for a stronger pressure gradient. And also note how the inbound upper trough at about 18,000 ft. over the Gorge.
And the upper trough brings a cooler deeper marine layer air to the coast and towards Portland making the Gorge pressure gradient concentrate in the corridor and it also delivers SW flow just aloft which helps our surface winds a bit.

I think I also wanted to make sure that people don't think sailing those nuking Crissy winds are just stepping off the shore like the Hatch or Dougs. As you know, the southerly nature of the summer winds puts the Crissy Beach in a nasty wind shadow. If you are lucky, you can find usable winds just a few hundred yards from shore and worst case scenario a short swim at the end of your session.
Right now, that wind line can be up to a half mile shlog. If you are not confident or capable of uphauling a 3.5 on a 85L, then you are looking at several hours of swimming with your gear or calling the Coast Guard for a lift home. Though the Coast Guard has picked up windsurfers and kiters at Crissy for decades, there has been a troubling increase in these rescues in the last few years by people who launched but couldn't get back to shore. A lot of these folks are often not regulars and are lured to this place by its beauty and tales of incredible conditions. Our relationship with the Coast Guard is becoming particularly strained as of late due to these avoidable incidents.
I've been coming up to the Gorge almost every July for about 20 years. My observation is you are probably going to sail 5 of 7 days with probably 1-2 nukefests. That still seems to be the case but the biggest difference I've noticed is that dawn patrol doesn't seem to happen much anymore, which I always enjoyed since it was the least gusty part of the day. Also, the heat waves seem to last a little longer but often there is usable wind as well.
It was 50 degrees and foggy when I left the house in a down jacket this morning. I sure miss eating ice cream at Mikes at 9:30pm in shorts.

Well, I got 25 sailing days this July, missed 2 (getting lazy as I get old). Sailed every day (except 1) on that long "no wind and baking" stretch we just finished.
Oups, forgot that the 5.7/6.2 freeride stuff is not really windsurfing.
So, yeah, it was a very bad July.

Besides all the other things to do, there's usually wind somewhere. When I used to drive up here from New Mexico for several months each summer, I considered "The Gorge" to include anything between Port Kelly and Newport, and drove all over as though gas cost well under a dollar, WSing was my hands-down top priority, and my van contained everything I needed. That often provided days or even whole weeks of strong winds that VERY few corridor hermits caught.
Driving pays off, and today's data access reduces the crapshoot factor. Add all the other toys and activities, and even that infamous early '90s July that had two two-week stretches of nuthin' but heat in the corridor still offered plenty to do, often including WSing. I wonder how many of today's Gorge visitors even know where Jones Beach is, let alone how hard, steadily, and long (30+, like a fan, for many days on end) it can blow when the corridor (maybe even Portland) is baking and Astoria is cool. (Notice the "cool" word; JB can be 25-30 degrees cooler night and day than the corridor, and if it is, take your tiny gear.) I also wonder how many of them know how user-friendly Newport's Agate Beach, a mere 3-hour drive, can be even for sailors not accustomed to the ocean.

Post subject: Dawn Patrol Gone Missing
Hi Mike:
I understand that over the course of a few seasons we are likely to see some of every kind of set up. But it seems like the frequency of the dawn patrol has been falling even on set-ups where it used to be more prevalent and reliable. Am I out of touch? Or is the dawn patrol really on the decline? And if it is declining in frequency - what do you think are the physical drivers?

Reviews & Testimonials
"Many years ago, when I was a newly practicing (and unhappy) attorney I consulted with Liz. She encouraged me to integrate my passion for writing more directly into my career and recommended that I explore journalism school. I eventually attended Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism and for the next ten years had an exciting and fulfilling career as a journalist. I've since turned to social justice advocacy and coaching, and I've kept my love of writing at the forefront of my work, whether focused on human rights or personal development Liz was spot-on in helping me identify that core means of engagement, and I know writing will remain an important part of my work and way of connecting with others as my career continues to evolve and develop in the future."
"The employment counseling services Liz Pelissier provided to our non-profit organization helped our employees become successful team players. She provided professional and precise direction, and was prompt and thorough with her responses and feedback. Her welcoming and warm style was particularly useful in addressing some challenging employee issues. Our organization will continue to consult with Liz."
"Liz helped me successfully change careers, in mid life. Her support and problem solving abilities have helped me change the way I think and behave. She keeps me focused on my goals while helping me balance the demands of life. If you need help with sorting out career decisions and personal concerns, Liz can help you with both."
"The Highlands Ability Battery test has been an extremely valuable tool, not only in helping me assess my natural strengths, but in guiding me toward a meaningful mid life career change. Liz was professional and knowledgeable. My results were explained in depth, giving me a full understanding of how to play to my strengths for greater fulfillment in my work life. Truly a wise investment!"

It's taken 30 years for Hoboken and Jersey City to become an overnight success. Newark? Well, we're still fighting to sustain a renaissance 50 years in the making.
If we're not careful, we can severely undermine the delicate balance of a market that is still struggling to achieve scale and a new sense of place, especially in the Central Ward.
How can such a thing happen? Newark is hot, right? Yes, and for all the right reasons that we are so cognizant of – location, infrastructure, transportation, culture, sports, and corporate leadership to name just a few.
With all that going for us, we have still needed massive and multi-source subsidies to jumpstart development both in the Central Ward and the neighborhoods.
The state sponsored Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit program, followed by the Economic Redevelopment and Growth Grant (ERGG), Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Redevelopment Area Bonding, Grow New Jersey Grants, New Market Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits, Community Development Block Grants, Qualified School Construction Bonds (in the case of educational development), collectively had an enormous positive impact on development activity in Newark over the last several years.
Pioneering projects such as Teachers Village, Springfield Avenue Marketplace, Hahnes, NJPAC Residential, Rector Street residential and more, surely could not have been financed and implemented without such a powerful combination of financial incentives.
This layering of public subsidy single handedly enabled the voluntary inclusion of affordable residential units in projects such as Hahnes and NJPAC.
The availability of these incentives are now either vastly reduced or gone completely, including the single most potent weapon in the residential developer toolbox, the Residential ERGG.
How can Newark sustain its nascent redevelopment effort in the Central Ward along with the neighborhoods? How can we achieve that critical mass in the downtown (commonly defined as 10,000-15,000 housing units) that we so desperately need to create that new sense of place with a vibrant retail, live/work environment that we've been hearing so much about for the last several decades? How do we accomplish this, especially given the sensitivity of demand to market rents in a residential market that is still out to prove itself?
I'm not an economist, but I can tell you how we fail to do this…by self-imposing a tax on new market-rate multi-family development in the city. Yet, this is precisely what the Baraka administration and some members of the governing body are advocating for – the imposition of an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which would require a 20 percent affordable set aside for projects in excess of 30 units or an in-lieu payment to an affordable housing trust. The proposal comes at a time in Newark's development cycle when it can least afford such a measure.
Inclusionary zoning is nothing new. The concept has been around for 25 years or more starting in California. There are hundreds of municipalities across the country with either some form of inclusionary zoning already in place or under consideration. Newark would hardly be a pacesetter for the rest of the nation in this space, as many large and medium sized cities have pursued such a policy with minimal or no real impact (according to many national urban economists, including Rutgers Business Center for Real Estate).
When did market-rate development become such a bad thing? Ask the political and community leaders in places such as such as Harlem, Brooklyn, the Bronx, lower Manhattan, Jersey City and Hoboken how horrible market-rate development has been for their neighborhoods.
The free market has worked very well in these locales. Government intervention? Not so much. To believe inclusionary zoning will work in Newark at this point in time is not only misguided, but will most likely further handicap the very low-income residents we are trying to serve.
Those who advocate for inclusionary zoning would have people believe that market rate development prices out residents who already live in the locale. But who, exactly, has or will be displaced from the Central Ward? Many of the residential units being created downtown are either in former office buildings, buildings that have been vacant for many years or built on vacant land.
Worse still, the proposed legislation would not only hit the Central Ward hard, but would be particularly damaging to the viability of smaller projects in marginal areas where there is a critical need to radically change the perception of a neighborhood.
A blanket policy for the entirety of the city would have a strong negative impact on the South Ward, West Ward and vulnerable locations in the Central Ward where nascent development progress is most at risk.
Imposing a 20 percent affordable housing set aside could end up derailing many residential housing projects on the drawing board while not addressing the need for affordable housing, which stems from the lack of good-paying jobs.
The inclusionary zone tax has to be paid by someone, and the Newark market is simply not mature enough for either landlords (in the form of lower net operating income) or tenants (in the form of higher rents) to bear the cost of this tax on new development.
Newark's options to incentivize developers to move forward in the face of such a financial handicap are severely limited. Other more established markets with inclusionary zoning, such as New York, Boston or San Francisco, could award developers density bonuses, higher Floor Area Ratios, other regulatory relief, or larger property tax abatements.
Given Newark's already liberal pro-development zoning, particularly in the downtown where we are focused on achieving scale, developers will be singularly focused on maxing-out on property tax relief in order to offset the inclusionary zoning tax.
As chairperson of the Tax Abatement Committee, I can attest to the fact that project economics without the old subsidies in place are already extremely challenging and in many cases can only be viable with long-term tax relief.
The city simply cannot afford to get even more aggressive on the tax abatement front and lock-in concessions, which will impact the city's budget and ratable base for a generation to come. This kind of concession will have a negative effect on the city's economy and its ability to serve the housing needs of low-income families with more direct and effective measures.
We absolutely cannot disincentivize developers from building in the city at this critical time in the business and development cycle, yet this is precisely what will occur if we enact the kind of inclusionary zoning ordinance that is being considered.
Haven't we learned by the countless other failed examples of inclusionary zoning across the country that government intervention in a market that is otherwise dictated by free-market fundamental economics will most likely lead to waste, inefficiency and an overall reduction in private development activity?
Why shift the burden of paying for the implicit inclusionary zoning tax back on the city with its negative multiplier effect, when we can and should be focused on direct and more efficient means of providing affordable housing for our residents by way of both the city and its Housing Authority. Why rush to lock-in such legislation when the investigation of viable alternatives and best practices have scarcely been considered?
Yet here we are, emboldened by a still developing bull market in multi-family real estate development, on the verge of enacting legislation for all the wrong reasons; driven by what appear to be political motivations that will not serve this city well; and will likely drive a stake in the very heart of a Newark renaissance 50 years in the making.
I have to remind my colleagues in the governing body that Newark still has a long way to go re-establish the city as a high profile, desirable and safe place to live, work and shop, on par with its more notable tri-state neighbors. Enacting legislation to impede our progress now would be incredibly damaging and myopic.
I cannot in good conscience support this misguided legislation and will insist the process is managed with thoughtfulness, professionalism and respect for all of Newark's stakeholders.

Test results & weekend
I made an 88 on my test. I really stressed over it for nothing, it wasn't near as hard as I thought it was going to be.
Speaking of stress, my cat's losing her hair. She's overgrooming (Tristan) and coming close too looking like Mr. Bigglesworth. Cathy says it's a neurotic psychological cat thing. Can't pinpoint the source. Any ideas from anyone?

I own a pair of red patent mary janes. I've never worn them, but I haven't put them on eBay either. Each time I see them, I think "I should wear these or sell them" and I wonder why I bought them in the first place. For two years, I've been telling myself "those are from that Dorothy costume, before you made red sequin shoes."
But the shoes that I bought before I made the sequin Dorothy shoes were knee-high red patent shoes. I sold them to a dominatrix from Arkansas who may well be using them to step on clients' testes. (No lie; she said that's what they were for. I wonder if she's hiring.) Somehow, my brain rearranged my life, swapping years to fool itself.
I remembered all of this and resorted the years into their proper folders because I am tagging old blogs, and I hit an old post (newly de-friendlocked, cause three years ago is ancient history). I didn't know it then, but October 2007 was when I started leaving my body more regularly. Amy's Life isn't 24 hours, like CNN. It's more sporadic, like a season of Charm School.
Every so often, my brain is called upon to do things it doesn't want to do, but has no choice to do. To protect itself, it disassociates. I never know when I leave my body and watch my life on tv, but I know when I come back because it hurts and I only remember pieces of feelings and events. Telling myself, "I'll only keep 10 of the 300 mental pictures I took" is the only way to get me to come back to my body.
The longest was a week: the week dad died. I came back to my body somewhere on the highway between Lexington and Nashville. The only way to get me to leave town for 6 days is to leave my body; when I came home, I felt like I'd been gone for 2 years.
When Obadiah died, I came back to my body at Mt. Olivet, eating donuts where we sat and ate donuts the night we met. When Kris died, I came back to my body at Calypso Cafe, eating nachos with Jen in our funeral clothes. I do not lose my mind at funerals. I just leave my body.
This lost time and rearrangement of years would all be very troubling if I minded it, but I don't. Long as I can remember where I live and don't misplace my wallet or keys, I guess everything's OK. It's just how my brain deals with things, and I'm really trying to get along with my brain a little better these days. We're stuck with each other, so we might as well try to get along. Besides, it tries so hard.
When it rearranged those years and made me think I bought those red shoes for a Dorothy costume, it was only trying to help. I had forgotten.
I bought those shoes because I was supposed to be one-half of a couples Halloween costume. The breakup happened when the shoes were in the mail. When they arrived, it was like they had come just to spite me. "Hello, we are the shoes with no purpose."
I thought that I hadn't been wearing them because they didn't go with anything. Conscious brain thought they were just the wrong shade of red. Subconscious brain saw them as a symbol of lost hope, failure, disappointment and stupidity. Subconscious brain, for all its good instincts about sketchy neighborhoods and guys who wear too much jewelry, is sometimes like a friend who comes to a party bearing a photo album full of pictures from the year you were chubby.

by the War Department to furnish me with troops, arms, ammunition, light and heavy artillery, money, and supplies, and I have never received any intimation from the Secretary or President that my views or plans were disapproved; but, on the contrary, the diversion of all these from their legitimate destination has been marked with their decided disapprobation, although it is still persisted in. I inclose a copy of a letter from Colonel Douglas H. Cooper to me of February 10 as containing the views od one long in the Indian country in regard to the necessity for white troops, but still more because it states what the positive pledges of the Government were on that subject. It is my deliberate opinion that if the policy announced in behalf of General Holmes in pursued we shall lose the Indian country. A column of 10,000 men of all arms cold now march with all ease from Kansas to Galveston or San Antonio. It is reasonable to infer (from our forces being compelled to move from Elm Springs to Huntsville and Colonel McIntosh's regiment being pushed westward into the Cherokee country) that the enemy, under General Schofield, known to be some 18,000 to 20,000 strong, were advancing in the direction of Van Buren by some road near the Indian line. We have advices from Fort Smith that negroes from the Arkansas River are being employed in opening the road from Ozark to Huntsville, which indicates a contemplated retreat toward Little Rock. In the mean time Colonel Cooper, with a small Indian force, is either in Kansas or retreating from it. The Indian troops are all in a very destitute condition. Almost no clothing has ever been furnished them. I procured for them in all last winter and this summer about 13,000 suits. The troops of Generals Van Dorn and Price got almost the whole of the first lot in March. The supply procured by me in Georgia to replace this was at Monroe, in Louisiana, on September 3, and is now at Fort Smith. I send a quartermaster to-day to see if it can be had, but I greatly it will be all used for other troops than the Indians. As to shoes, I have not been able to procure any. I shall in a few days have some 400 pairs by advancing my own funds to pay for them, and I could get some 600 additional pairs if I had more money of my own.
The moneys lately sent out from Richmond by Mr. Charles B. Johnson were taken by him (I do not know why) by the way of Little Rock to Fort Smith. At Little Rock he loaned the acting quartermaster there $350,000 of the money, and before he reached Fort Smith an order was there from General Holmes requiring Major Quesenbury, quartermaster of brigade of this department, to turn over all the moneys as soon as he should receive them to Major N. B. Pearce, assistant commissary of subsistence at that post. From him I believe they went into the hands of Major Crump, a quartermaster, and were and are being disbursed for general purposes. The Seminoles under Jumper have never received a dollar of pay or allowance. They have been in service more than a year. The Creeks under Chilly McIntosh have received $45,000; the Chickasaws $45,000. Large arrears of pay are due all the others. Winter is coming on and the Indians are half naked, literally so to such a degree as to be ashamed to show themselves, while their clothing stays at Fort Smith. Agents are sent by General Hindman into Texas to try to procure clothing for him after I had sent all over Texas for it in vain months ago. They know that the money and clothing were on their way to them.
The know when I sent for both. They have been promised both over and over again since last June. God knows what excuse I can make to them that they will believe. They certainly will not believe that the President cannot compel officers to permit supplies obtained for them

Wildlife Day at the Capitol
press release: On April 11, 2018 wildlife advocates in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota will be gathering in solidarity at their state capitols to meet with lawmakers and speak for wolves and wildlife in the Great Lakes region.
Join this movement to tell your lawmakers to protect wolves and wildlife in the Great Lakes states. Wolves especially need us to speak for them, as they may soon lose federal protections in the coming new year. State wildlife management agencies are already preparing to open more state-sanctioned hunting, hounding, snaring and trapping seasons on wolves to reduce their population by as much as two-thirds.
As a constituent, you are vital in persuading legislators that wildlife belongs to everyone and that keystone species, like wolves, need special consideration and protections. Wildlife Day is an opportunity to bring together and ethical hunters, non-consumptive users, scientists, silent sports enthusiasts, farmers, tribal members and anyone who truly cares about wildlife as a unified yet, diverse voice for policy.
As a thank you for participating, please accept our new t-shirt designed specially for this event by local artist, Cait Irwin! While we know some people may not want a new shirt, we ask that everyone wear a wolf or wildlife shirt to let lawmakers know we are there in solidarity. We will also have bussing and carpool options available for those traveling long distances to their capitol.
Volunteers are needed on and before Wildlife Day. We need people to help with set up and take down and distributing materials and others willing to stand in places throughout the office buildings to direct people. If you are interested in helping out, write us at firstname.lastname@example.com to join the pack!

Exclusive: The mysterious woman behind George Maple
Hailing from the same city as electronic music heavy-hitters like Flight Facilities, Flume, and What so Not, Sydney's very own George Maple is traveling along the very same track. But don't be the fooled by the pseudonym, this George Maple is no man—-she's actually a major sultry babe named Jessica Higgs, with deep-club vocals to match. Foremost referring to herself as a writer, George produces her own music, taking absolute credit for all of it. You immediately become comfortable in her presence– she's beautiful, well spoken, and definitely seems like she has a lot to say, yet she expresses genuine interest and asks so many questions about you, you suddenly forget you're conducting an interview. Her insight into the music industry seem well beyond her actual years of experience, but it may be because this is something that she knew she would be doing her entire life, and her patience is about to pay off if her new EP is any indication of what she is about to put out in the world. Take a quick peek into George Maple and learn about how she used Australia's narrow music education to her advantage, her production programs of choice, and how her process of music composition is a lot like the work of Jackson Pollock.
So, why a man's name?
I guess at the time I was listening to a lot of music and I'd hear these songs by a guy but they had a female singer… it'd be Mark Ronson but there'd be no featured artist or anything. With this era we're in at the moment, the producers are becoming the frontman. I had no idea why but at the time I thought it was hilarious—there's a woman singing, I don't understand. And I guess that kind of came into the decision making the process a little bit. But to be honest, it literally just came to me. It's not like I'm calling myself John— George I feel is somewhere in the middle. I actually didn't realize until I had some conversations with other people… there have been a few women who have called themselves George and have been writers back in the time when it wasn't acceptable for women to write novels. For me, it was more of a feeling than anything else— regardless of gender, it just felt like the right thing to do.
Tell us how you go about making music.
The way that I write is quite similar to the rest of my life, it's very dynamic and it changes a lot. So I might write a song by myself on the keys and that will be my demo—Fixed was like that, it was just the drum loop and the vocal. Then I will sort of think about who I want to produce or co-produce with, because I feel like you want to use people's skills and your own skills in the best possible way. So for 'Vacant Space,' immediately I thought Harley (Flume) is the best person to do that. So I sent it to him and he did his thing and sent it back and then I edited it with Chris (What So Not). It just depends track by track. I actually never considered myself a producer, but my manager was like, "Who's producing your demos?" And I would tell him, "It's not produced, it's just my writing… it's not production". And he was like, "No no, that's production—you should keep doing that." And I think it's been good, because I've been delving more into that with the stuff I'm working on now.
What do you use to produce music?
I use Ableton. I used to use Logic and then before that Garage Band. I think the original demo for Fixed was on Garage Band. I woke up in the middle of the night and recorded it and then went back to sleep.
Who taught you how to produce?
No one really taught me, for the last 3 or 4 years, I've been either on a stage, writing a song or in a studio like every single day. So much of it is intuitive, I'm not so much interested in the engineering side—the creativity is exciting. That's why I love Ableton, it's easy to make sounds sound weird. And to change things. For me, cutting up audio is a really big thing. Ableton makes it easy to resample. I'm really quite lazy with a lot of it, I just like to throw everything on a canvas. It's like Jackson Pollock – okay, chuck everything on, and it feels right. And I guess it just works for me.
Have you produced anything for other musicians?
I'm a writer first. That's what I love to do. Performing is part of it too, but what I really love is creating. I actually was writing top lines for friends of mine– I did quite a lot of that before I decided I wanted to have my own project.
What music are you listening to these days? Who's inspiring you?
I do listen to a lot of Kanye to be completely honest. The new Caribou album, Jon Hopkins, Arca. I listen to a lot of sonic, production based stuff. En Vogue and all Prince songs. To be honest, I don't try to listen to that much new music, I have kind of a sympathetic ear and I don't want it to creep it into my music.
There seems to be quite a movement with really great electronic music coming out of Australia right now. I also just found out that you, Flume, What So Not, and Flight Facilities are all from the same town. What's going on in the water over there?
I think it's because we don't have the same music education that Europe or America might have. We come from rock—that's what Australian music used to be, and what it's been for a while and that blindness and that lack of understanding kind of makes Australian music a little more unique. There's less references. It's coming from this really real place. And one person starts and then another person continues and then there's a group of people that are all friends and then they start making more music and making more noise… Even hip hop knowledge, I don't know anything about hip hop history. I always ask my friends when I'm here to sort of educate me. Because it's so foreign to me—I didn't grow up with that.
What was the first piece of music you created?
I've been writing songs since I was about 11 or 12 and I used to enter song contests. It's so weird, it's not something I ever questioned, I just accepted it as this is what I'm doing. This is what I'm here for.
What was a moment where you realized you were a musician?
When I was 18, I went and saw Kanye at Good Vibes, a festival in Australia, the 808s & Heartbreak tour. I remember watching him and thinking, "that's where I want to be." I mean I've been to that venue many other times in my life but there was just this moment where I thought to myself, "I wonder if this will happen." And last year I sang with Flight Facilities at Splendour and it was 15000 people in the audience or something and I remember thinking, "Wow this is kind of happening." That was a very small moment. But those moments are nice.

New Milford panel to define theaters
A former commission member has questioned whether the proposal is aimed at keeping out competition from Bow-Tie Cinemas.
The zoning meeting will be at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.
Vin Nolan, the town's economic development supervisor, has asked the Zoning Commission to define an indoor theater as "a building of 10,000 square feet or less with a capacity of not more than 500 persons, where plays, dramatic presentations, movie showings, lectures, musical performances, poetry readings and other artistic representations are held."
Nolan said the purpose of the request is to "discourage, while not prohibiting" large multiplex theaters and to protect the Bank Street Theatre.
He said the proposed definition restricts the "as of right" development of any new theater to be no larger than the existing Bank Street Theatre.
Town officials say the definition would be a signal to prospective developers that the town does not want a big-box cinema. They note the Bank Street Theatre is the single largest traffic generator in the downtown area. It brings thousands of people each year to Bank Street and to the village center's small retail shops and restaurants.
Commission members opened a hearing Feb. 19 and Mayor Pat Murphy spoke in favor of the proposed definition, but the Planning Commission has recommended against its adoption in a 2-3 vote.
The mayor said the proposed wording defines what New Milford considers a theater but does not prevent another. She said Route 7 doesn't need a multiplex with hundreds of cars leaving at one time.
Murphy said the Bank Street Theatre is "an integral part of the character" of the downtown area. The mayor also noted the theater helps maintain the stability and value of the surrounding businesses and properties.
The mayor said the town has limited commercial property and she does not see an economic benefit in having a multiplex with a huge parking lot and low-paying jobs.
Former commission member Steve Paduano, however, spoke against the proposal Feb. 19. He said no statistics were presented to support the need for the definition. According to minutes of the meeting, he believes the true intent is to discourage and deter Bow-Tie Cinemas from presenting a proposal to the commission.
If the definition is approved, a developer would need to go through a special permit process for a larger theater.
Last week, Bow-Tie partner Charles Moss, a Roxbury resident, declined to comment about any plans for a theater in town.
According to its Web site, Bow-Tie Cinemas is dedicated to continuing in the traditions of its founder, Moss' grandfather, Benjamin S. Moss, by "returning style and elegance to the movie-going experience."
Benjamin S. Moss founded B.S. Moss Enterprises, which began as a chain of storefront nickelodeons and grew into the largest independently owned and operated motion picture theater circuit in the New York metropolitan area.
Bow-Tie Cinemas owns and operates 121 screens in 16 locations in Connecticut, New York, Maryland and Colorado. In addition, Bow-Tie Cinemas is constructing 17 new screens in Richmond, Va.
During hearings on two recent evenings, the proposal has had the support from several local business owners, the Village Center Organization, the Film Commission and the Trust for Historic Preservation.
All have said the Bank Street Theater draws people to the downtown, and they fear if the theater can not continue to get first run films it would not survive and that could lead to the demise of the downtown business district.
Bank Street Theater owner Gary Goldring said his theater draws 60,000 annually to the village center. He told the Zoning Commission that within a week of a multiplex opening in town, his theater would not have any movies to show.
But business owners Bill Zampaglione and Erin Maguire questioned why town officials would choose to protect one business over another.
Maguire, who owns the Natural Marketplace on Bank Street, said she did not want to see the theatre close. But she wondered if a new Whole Foods store wants to open in town whether there would be a proposal to help her business. She said no special privileges should be given for one business over another.
Nolan said the issue is that a smaller theater would not be able to get prints of movies from distributors if a multiplex comes to town. Other businesses would not have their products cut off by distributors.
Paul Schuyler, who manages the Bank Street Theatre, said it's not afraid of competition from another similar-sized theater. He said the concern is being able to continue to get prints of first run movies. He told zoners Feb. 26 that distributors want theaters at 5 five miles apart.
Trip Rothschild, president of the Village Center Organization, argued that the theater is "crucially important to the life of this town" as the anchor of commercial activity.

A beans on toast recipe you'll enjoy.
I used to love the tin baked beans as a kid. Now that I'm older, I can't get over the metallic taste it has. It does go away if you heat the beans, but I will admit that I'm not a fan of the tomato sauce either.
Perhaps I'm harder to please now? My son thinks its all in my imagination, so I understand if you feel the same right now.
I make my grown-up beans with butter beans because they're more filling than haricot beans. For lack of patience, I don't bake them; I only cook them on the stove with the usual suspects, tomatoes, a few herbs and they're good to go on freshly toasted bread.
You could use this recipe with any other type of beans, and it will work just as well.
Ingredient highlight: Oregano
The essential oils found in oregano protect the body from free-radical damage and stop the growth of bacteria. Oregano is useful in the treatment of colds, abdominal pain and wounds. Always add oregano at the end of cooking to keep its medicinal benefits intact.Print
Grown-up butter beans on rye toast
- Prep Time: 2 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 17 minutes
- Yield: Serves 1 1x
Butter beans on rye toast
- 1 x 400g tin butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 6 piccolo cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 50g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¾ vegetable stock cube
- 1 slice rye bread, toasted
- Heat a small splash of water (or 1 tbsp of oil if you prefer) in a small pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add the cherry tomatoes, tomato purée, mushrooms and stock cube. Cook for 5-7 minutes, adding small splashes of water if the pan gets too dry. You do want to end up with a thick tomato sauce.
- Add the dried herbs, cook for 2 minutes then add the butter beans (and a small splash of water if needed). Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat the beans then take the pan off the heat.
- Toast the bread, then spoon the beans over the toast and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Feed additives for swine: Fact sheets – high dietary levels of copper and zinc for young pigs, and phytase
Jay Y. Jacela, DVM, PhD; Joel M. DeRouchey, PhD; Mike D. Tokach, PhD; Robert D. Goodband, PhD; Jim L. Nelssen, PhD; David G. Renter, DVM, PhD; Steve S. Dritz, DVM, PhD
Complete article is available online.
PDF version is available online.
This is the fourth in a series of peer-reviewed practice tip articles, each including two or three fact sheets on feed additives for swine.
Copper and zinc are classified as trace minerals because they are required by pigs at relatively low levels for normal growth. When added at high dietary levels, copper (100 to 250 ppm) and zinc (2000 to 3000 ppm) can increase the growth performance of young pigs. The mechanisms by which high levels of copper and zinc improve growth rate in pigs is still unclear.
Phytase is an enzyme that increases availability of phosphorus in pig diets. Phytase lowers the amount of supplemental phosphorus required in the diet. Because of improved dietary phosphorus utilization, less phosphorus is excreted in the manure. Phytase is susceptible to degradation during extended storage periods.

WASHINGTON, April 16. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump has ordered putting off the imposition of new economic sanctions on Russia that were announced earlier by the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, The Washington Post said on Monday.
"Preparations to punish Russia anew for its support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government over the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria caused consternation at the White House," the article said, adding that Haley's announcement of forthcoming new sanctions was followed by consultations between Trump and his national security advisors.
The Washington Post claimed Trumps told the advisors "[…] he was upset the sanctions were being officially rolled out because he was not yet comfortable executing them […]."
Administration officials told the newspaper Trump was unlikely to endorse more additional anti-Russian sanctions "without another triggering event by Russia."
The report also quoted an unnamed Russian Foreign Ministry official saying the Administration had informed the Russian Embassy in Washington "the sanctions were not in fact coming".

As essential as any textbook or teacher, using the best revision techniques will save time and boost productivity. During my A Levels, studying psychology, I picked up a few tips that helped me turn time in the library into A*s on results day.
#1. Eliminate Distractions
We are used to reading headlines reporting that millennials check their phones 150 times a day, or that the average brit unlocks their phone 10,000 times a year but did you know how long it takes to get back to what you were doing after each distraction?
Gloria Mark has found that it takes an average of 25 minutes to return to the original task after a single interruption. A further lab study by Alessandro Acquisti found that distractions whilst revising led to participants answering 20% less questions correctly than members of the control group – that's the difference between an A* and a B, or a B and a D.
Fortunately, there are lots of simple adjustments you can make to minimise interruptions: find a quiet place to study, leave your phone at home, turn off alerts on your emails and use Google Chrome's 'StayFocusd' (DN: not sponsored by Google!) to lock yourself out of tempting websites for discrete portions of time.
#2.Take breaks
No matter how absorbed you might be in your Shakespeare, research shows that taking a break can help boost memory and attention. Your brain is a muscle, and just like weight training at the gym – if you're pushing yourself hard enough, you need recovery time. So stop what you are doing and relax.
The tricky part is to work out how frequently you should break. For me, the Pomodoro technique works well – 25mins of studying followed by a five minute break, and then a longer 15min break after four cycles.
What you do in your breaks is also worth a mention – getting up and moving your body helps to get your blood flowing and oxygen to your brain. In short, a pace around the block will help to restore your focus and make you to feel more alert. If that wasn't enough of an incentive, recent research by Oppezzo and Schwartz (2014) has found that we are much more creative when we are walking around compared to when we are sitting still.
#3. Don't just revise, but re-call:
The term revision is misleading – countless studies (Carrier and Pashler, 1992; Agarwal et al, 2010) have found that simply looking at your notes won't help. In fact, rereading and highlighting were found to be two of the worst strategies for memorising information (Dunlosky et al, 2013).
A much more effective way to deepen your understanding and learn concepts is through 'doing'. So next time you are sitting down to your work, keep your learning active: have a go at past papers or testing yourself at the end of a day. This will produce better results than many other forms of studying and get your brain used to locating and retrieving the relevant piece of information.
#4. Teach Someone
Teaching as a form of studying is not a new idea, the Roman philosopher Seneca famously said "While we teach, we learn". Scientists have now recognised the evidence (Nestojko, 2014; that supports this tactic in what has been dubbed "the protégé effect". The benefits of this approach have been shown in many different research experiments.
In one particular study, conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, a "cascading mentoring program" engaged college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic. Participants who were expected to teach produced more complete and better-organized free recall of the passage and, in general, correctly answered more questions about the passage than did participants expecting a test, particularly questions covering main points.
So after you have mastered the basics, try teaching the material to a peer, your younger sibling or anyone who will listen!

Within the next hour, I'll be back to my reservist camp. It is the final phase of the over two weeks in-camp training.
It also means to me, a time where I should be ready to get back to the various upcoming trainings and talks that follow. Hence, a balance in need during this period of time for the mental adjustment from green uniform to formal speaking attire.

The Boston Bruins should get a boost just in time for the Winter Classic on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks as NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports that Brad Marchand should be ready to go after practicing today, barring any setbacks. He missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, but it looks like it wasn't a serious issue. Marchand is having another solid campaign as he has 12 goals and 41 points in 39 games this year.
Rosen also points out that defenseman Charlie McAvoy remains questionable for the big game. The defenseman has missed two games with a lower-body injury and did not practice today. The gifted defenseman has struggled dealing with injuries as he has appeared in just 17 games this year, although he has 11 points.
- Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post writes that Washington Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen will be out Monday against Nashville and miss his second straight game with an undisclosed upper-body injury. However, the team got better news on Brooks Orpik, who listed as a game-time decision for Monday after missing 27 games with a right-knee injury. The scribe writes that both players practiced Sunday and are both close to returning to the team. The team has also been without Christian Djoos.
- The Pittsburgh Penguins could be without both forward Bryan Rust and defenseman Olli Maatta on Monday as both are listed as day-to-day, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Matt Vensel. Rust didn't practice today with an undisclosed injury, while Maatta suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's game against St. Louis, but finished the game. He didn't practice today either.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports that Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau is close to a return. While he's not expected to play Monday, could be back not long after that. The 26-year-old has been out all season after having surgery to repair a torn Achilles muscle. He had a six-month timetable in mid-September and is well ahead of schedule. Pageau had 14 goals and 29 points last season.
