Iâ??ve just come home from the outstanding NC State shoot at Hunters Pointe where Chuck Frazier perpetrated on us some of his best, most well thought out target presentations. Standing in the box, I distinctly remember telling myself not to shoot that target right there. Did I remember to follow those instructions? Actually, to tell you the truth, well, I just forgot. It looked so good right there I couldnâ??t help myself. See, hereâ??s what happened. After stomping the first bird, I moved the gun to intercept the second bird. And there it was, right on schedule. So I mosey up to it with my â??never-failâ? move and watched myself shoot right over the top of it! Chuck ambushed me. Twice! X0X0. Itâ??s enough to make a person feel daffy. I did adjust the last 2 pairs, XXXX. Couldnâ??t get those lost birds back though.

And thatâ??s what I want to take a look at, minimizing our misses.

In my opinion, sporting clays competition has become a precision sport. Never before have so many demands been placed on the competitorâ??s shoulders to guide the gun properly. Mistakes in the swing are rarely forgiven by todayâ??s more creative and deceptive match presentations. While ours is not a game of perfect, scores are climbing. Thatâ??s why knowing where we missed and why is so critical. As scores continue to climb, there is less and less margin for missing, putting the emphasis squarely on better strategies and error free swing execution. Miss management.

Top shooters have good form. While their shooting styles may differ, the style each one uses is consistent, making it dependable, at the target and on the score sheet. But thereâ??s more going on there than meets the eye.

Letâ??s start with a target presentation you like, a favorite of yours. Maybe itâ??s a left to right crossing target, medium speed at about 25 yards. This is a target that you rarely miss. Confidence on this bird is very high as you walk into the shooting box. Why? Because you know this shot. From the set up through the break you know every aspect of this shot cold. Swing feel and sight pictures are very familiar to you. Iâ??m not inferring you can take the target for granted. I am saying you feel very secure, putting a lot of trust in your move on this bird. You know how to break it and it will break. So itâ??s safe to say you have this shot, any time, anywhere.

Now stand beside me at Hunters Pointe on Sunday at the state shoot, 15 yards to the left and under the 60 foot tower. Both traps are on the top. True pairs, the birds leave from behind us, on our right, overhead and away. The first thing we notice is the line on each bird is somewhat awkward, so putting the gun on the line will be touchy. To compound matters, the targets are fast, meaning time is limited and weâ??ll have to make good use of the time we have. The margin for swing errors is small indeed and swing mistakes, careless or otherwise, wonâ??t be forgiven here. Like so many of Chuckâ??s well thought out presentations, precision will be at a premium……

Sporting clays continues to be an elegant sport born of long tradition, fulfilling our wingshooting passion to experience the wing and shot. Feather and clay, inescapably tied, grants us so many learning opportunities to hone our skills, a path of personal growth that affords us a refreshing, unbiased look at ourselves. Time and again, my students have learned how entirely more capable they are than once thought. The American sporting clays shooter can honestly and proudly say, in a very short period, he has indeed advanced to take his rightful place among the best in the world. And, let’s not forget, no one is having more fun out here than you and I are.

The events, times, places and persons in my articles are all true. While I changed a name here and there, 100% of the information came from my experiences with you. Each tournament, each lesson, each experience with you generated the material for my work. I am grateful.

We hope you enjoyed the first part of the article and will visit us online to browse the numerous collection that is available. Until then, happy Sporting!

I just got in a relationship and we both want to keep it a secret. My friends would mock me for ever if they knew, same with her. And my parrents will freak if they find out because they think 6th grade is to early to date. So how do I keep it secret, and if not, How do I break the news to family and friends.

Manhattan, New York – February 21, 2008 – The February 6-7th, Winter, Stock & Bond Auction at R. M. Smythe & Company (#277) saw heated bidding that was typified by the sale of a featured stock certificate from Buffalo Bills Wild West Company, which saw a final hammer price of $20,000. The beautifully illustrated certificate featured a portrait of Buffalo Bill at top center. Other noteworthy sales that warmed the winter auction included:

Lot # 1396 (Presale Estimate – $15,000-25,000) Final Bid – $19,000

Accessory Transit (of Nicaragua) (NY) 1856. #12. $5000. Bearer Bond. Auxilliary ocean going steamship. Signed twice by Cornelius Vanderbilt as president, and on the reverse. Not cancelled. John W. Amerman. NY. VF.*

Cornelius “The Commodore” Vanderbilt (1794-1877) was an American financier and founder of his family’s fortune. At the age of 16 he bought a boat and ferried passengers and goods between Staten Island and Manhatten. He later made a fortune in the steamship business, earning himself the nickname “Commodore.” In 1862 he sold his ships and turned to financing railroads, where he amassed a greater fortune estimated at $100,000,000 making him one of the richest men of his time. Accessory Transit was organized by Vanderbilt to move passengers and freight to the West Coast through Nicaragua. Vanderbilt hired C.K. Garrison as his agent through San Francisco, and Charles Morgan as his agent in New York.

Shortly after this bond was issued came the “war of the three commodores,” between Charles Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt and George Law. Accessory Transit competed openly with the Law-Aspinwall mail subsidy line. Morgan and Garrison, on the other hand, manipulated the Transit’s stock in such a way that they profited while Vanderbilt lost heavily. Vanderbilt is said to have stormed at them, “I will not sue you because the law takes too long. I will ruin you.”

Vanderbilt did manage to unseat Morgan and Hoyt from the board of directors, but another headache immediately developed in the form of William Walker, who invaded Nicaragua with the support of Morgan and his Associate! William Walker made himself President of Nicaragua. In order to get the money needed to keep a 1200 man army together, he took sides in the in-fighting within Accessory Transit Company. Foolishly backing those who had double crossed Commodore Vanderbilt, Walker confiscated the company assets and handed them over to the insurgent faction. Vanderbilt retaliated with a blockade, cutting Walker off from reinforcements while inciting the neighbouring states. Vanderbilt sent mercenaries to Costa Rica, where they obtained a small force of native troops to attack Walker. As a result Walker suffered defeat and had to flee in May 1857. Vanderbilt was then back in business with Nicaragua.

The first Accessory Transit Certificate signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt that we have sold in over a decade, a museum quality certificate that may not be obtainable again in a lifetime of collecting.

Lot # 1083 (Presale Estimate – $1000 to $1500) Final Bid – $1800

Black Star Line (DE) 1919. #2153. 5 shs. Green. Eastern Hemisphere globe with the title “Africa The Land of Opportunity” flanked by a field hand and an ocean liner. Signed by Marcus Garvey as president. VF.*

Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was convinced that African Americans could not prosper in countries where they were the minority race, Garvey urged a “Back to Africa” movement, and conceived of a steamship trading company trading between New York, the West Indies and Africa. Over a half million in subscriptions poured in, but the enterprise never materialized. Garvey was arrested, convicted of mail fraud, and deported to Jamaica.

Lot# 1092 (Presale Estimate – $500 to $1,000) Final Bid – $1400

Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (MD) 1838. #12. 2500 shs. People stroll along the Canal and the Potomac River at left. Signed as corporate president by George C. Washington (1789-1854), grand-nephew of George Washington, congressman and Indian treaty negotiator. Tape stain center, otherwise VF.*

This enterprise was chartered in 1828, in succession to the old Potowmack Company. Half of the six million in capital came from the States of Maryland and Virginia as well as the cities of Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria. Although John Quincy Adams turned the first spade, the undertaking was not a success. A change of plan widening the canal made it impossible to finish the work within the constraints of the capital. By the crash of 1837, all of the $8 million had been spent and the canal was still 50 miles from Cumberland. In the meantime, President Jackson had to repeatedly call out the militia to restore order among the quarrelsome and striking workers.

Finally, in 1850, way over budget, the canal reached Cumberland, whose coal mines at least offered a commercial product that could be carried to Washington. The company ran at a profit from 1860-1880, with the exception of 1877 when a great flood on the Potomac wrecked the works. The company got back on its feet, but the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad steadily drained away its business. It lingered until 1924, when another great flood destroyed the works and made reconstruction financially impossible. The Federal government bought the land as a park in the 1930’s.

Lot# 1116 (Presale Estimate – $600 to $900) Final Bid – $950

Lewis & Clark Centennial & American Pacific Expo & Oriental Fair (OR) 1904. #1656. One share. Green. Large gold embossed corporate seal with an image of a settler and Indian pointing to a map of the Louisiana Purchase. “Where Rolls The Oregon” ships in harbor. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on either side. Nicest we have seen. Extremely Rare. VF+.

This exhibition was held in Portland, Oregon, in 1905, to commemorate the anniversary of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific Coast, which charted a route to the West through the Rocky Mountains.

Lot# 1209 (Presale Estimate – $2,000 – $4,000) Final Bid – $2600

Estate of Alexander Hamilton (NY) Nov. 29, 1804. $200. Printed form. Signed as trustees by Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) patroon, Morrisana, diplomat and US senator. He was a member of the Continental Congress and one of the three drafters of the Articles of Confederation. Also signed by Rufus King (1755-1827), Revolutionary soldier, Continental Congressman, US senator from NY, twice a US senator, unsuccessful Federalist candidate for President in 1804 (thus at signing). Another signer was Oliver Wolcott, Jr. The other signers were Robert Benson and Thomas Wilkes. Framed behind glass with an engraving of Gouverneur Morris. Not examined out of frame, but appears to be EF.

Issued just four months after Hamilton’s famous duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. Hamilton was brilliant at getting the affairs of the United States in order, but he allowed his own personal finances to fall into complete disorder. The four gentlemen who signed this certificate formed a committee to liquidate Hamilton’s assets in order to try to save something for Mrs. Hamilton and the children.

Prices were generally much improved and autographed items and rare pieces did exceptionally well. None of the prices listed here include the Buyers Premium.

Online portals : Storehouse of information

If Barbara Tuchman claimed that “Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.” No one would disagree with her famous quote. However, besides being a medium of conveying knowledge, books can be cumbersome and can take large amounts of time in finding information. The virtual effects of science have caused a breakthrough making the storehouses of information right in front of our computer screen as opposed to a newspaper where news may be shortened for the sake of space.

The new generation has the power of online portals which provide information with a mere click. No magic, no drama just news served like a hot cup of coffee to revitalize your senses. It wasn’t that long after the Web first appeared that the first portals came into existence. Portals served and continue to serve as a important launch point for Web surfing, and although there are some special-interest portals out there that get some market share, the ones that started out early are the ones that get the lion’s share of viewership.

The magical online portals have given the world of knowledge to man’s finger tip. It covers all aspects from news, headlines, sports, entertainment, living, online shopping, articles, current events, current events, news updates.

But the portals of old were plain compared to what they are today, and what they will become in the next few years. Already a far cry from the plain, static first generation of portals, today’s Web portals take advantage of new technology to create a much more exciting surfing experience. The driving force behind all this is the pervasiveness of broadband, which allows portals to hold more rich graphics and multimedia, colorful and fun animation, and functional applets such as stock market tickers and news feeds.

EMarketer’s report highlights the future of the portal in this light, noting that portal services will go even beyond the Web itself, into the areas of personalized desktops, and video/multimedia search. And of course, portals make their money chiefly through advertising, and eMarketer makes note of the fact that the type of advertising found on portals is also changing.

The biggest changes in the future of portal services will be its expansion beyond traditional search, something we’re already seeing with Google’s branching out into other areas. Look for all major portals to launch desktop search products, personalized search tools, and even mobile search services in the coming years.

Private portals are also gaining in popularity as a convenient way to allow employees, clients, and customers to securely access personalized information via a password-protected portal site. Healthcare portals have become a extremely useful addition to large HR organizations, which save time and money by allowing employees to log into their own healthcare accounts—relieving HR staff from having to spend time on low-priority, standard requests for information. While the IT staff may be well-equipped to handle the technical end of the portal, leaving the project entirely in their hands (and not seeking participation from other areas) is likely to result in a portal that is not aligned with the true business needs of the company. The portal must be a priority not just of IT, but of the entire company. Online portals are the new generation information provider , and yes, if Late Barbara Tuchman was alive, she would have had a different quote altogether, what say ?
