The Precision Rifle's factory buttstock, pistol grip, fore-end and safety selector switch can all be reconfigured using compatible AR-15-style components—opening the gun up to virtually unlimited customization options.
Offered at this time in three short-action chamberings, the rifle is available in .308. Win. with a 20" barrel, 6.5 mm Creedmoor with a 24" barrel and .243 Win. with a 26" barrel. The weights vary by chambering, but with the lightest model starting at 9.7 lbs. sans optic, the Precision Rifle is not a light firearm. The evaluation gun provided by Ruger was chambered in 6.5 mm Creedmoor and—after being furnished with a scope, bipod and stock-mounted monopod—tipped the scales at just over 15 lbs.
Development of the Precision Rifle started with the stated goal of sub-m.o.a. accuracy using American Rifleman's protocol of averaging five consecutive, five-shot groups. The end product managed to exceed that goal by a fair margin, as internal testing conducted by Ruger has yielded an average of 0.83" at 100 yds using multiple guns. The sample sent to American Rifleman for testing performed even better than that, achieving an average result of 0.76" at the same distance using three ammunition loads.
The rifle's buttstock (above left) can be locked in the folded position, allowing the bolt to be removed from the receiver. The patented Multi-Magazine Interface (above middle) allows the gun to feed from both rear- and side-latching box magazines, and the barrels are given a recessed crown and are threaded at the muzzle (above right) to facilitate the use of compensators or suppressors.
All Precision Rifle barrels are medium-contour (0.75" at the muzzle) and are free-floated within their fore-ends. Twist rates were selected by Ruger to ensure the rifles could stabilize the longer bullets within each chambering that are most popular with long-range shooters. The barrels are threaded at the muzzle (5/8x24 thread pattern) to facilitate the use of compensators or suppressors, and come with a thread protector. A 20-m.o.a. canted Picatinny rail is secured to the top of the receiver by four screws, allowing for increased long-range elevation adjustments with the gun.
The rifle's buttstock, a proprietary Ruger design that the company calls the Precision MSR, allows for up to 3½" of adjustment to the length of pull and 3/4" of comb height customization. Both can be accomplished quickly in the field by flipping two cam levers on the side of the stock to the unlocked position, adjusting the stock to the desired settings and then tightening the levers down again. Although the process is a little more complicated, the cant of the buttpad can also be adjusted up to 9 degrees in either direction.
The gun's standard configuration also includes an extended-reach AR-style pistol grip, 15" free-floating Samson Keymod Evolution fore-end and a reversible, 45-degree safety selector. If any of the rifle's default furniture is ripe for replacement, in my opinion it's the fore-end which—when affixed to a substantially heavy rifle like the Ruger Precision—takes on an overly aggressive texture.
Like the Precision Rifle itself, the 6.5 mm Creedmoor cartridge and chamber were developed from the start with accuracy in mind. With a freebore diameter specified at 0.2645" and bullets measuring 0.2640", the projectiles are forced to enter the rifling with minimal in-bore yaw. The Creedmoor also produces plenty of energy (most loads hover right around 2,400 ft.-lbs. at the muzzle)—and thanks to a relatively high ballistic coefficient, will retain that energy at extended distances—yet recoils minimally enough through a gun with the Precision Rifle's heft as to allow for all-day shooting sessions with absolutely no discomfort. During the course of the event, we exclusively used Hornady's 140-gr. A-MAX offering, and the guns seemed to agree with that load quite well.
Unfortunately, in many areas of the country it can be difficult to find adequate space to truly indulge in the sport of long-range precision shooting. The open spaces needed to really stretch a cartridge's legs simply aren't available to many shooters, so a lot of these folks resign themselves to the next-best alternative open to them—benchrest shooting at 100 yds. And while the Precision Rifle was made for long-distance use, it can still punch paper at closer ranges with the best of them. The first zeroed-in, five-shot, 100-yd. group I fired through the gun at FTW measured a tidy 0.51", and as you can see from the tabulated results, the rifle is capable of keeping groups under an inch all day long—though, as might be expected given the twist rate, it does seem to favor heavier bullets.

Exhibition Celebrates More Than a Century of Local Artists
14th May 2019 Culture, Events, News
Image courtesy of Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society.
Local resident and artist Irene Strange reports on the 110th annual exhibition of the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society, at Portsmouth Anglican Cathedral, 27th July – 7th August.
The Portsmouth & Hampshire Art Society was formed in 1909 under the guidance of the renowned marine artist W. L. Wyllie R.A., who became the first President. Wyllie has been described by Portsmouth's National Museum of the Royal Navy as 'the most distinguished marine artist of his day' and moved to Portsmouth in 1906, where he became closely associated with the Navy.
Today the Art Society has over 200 members and members meet monthly at Mary Rose School, including for demonstrations of different art techniques, such as portraying movement and working with pencils or acrylics. In addition, a group of Society members meet to paint and draw in any medium most Thursdays during term time at Becket Hall, Oyster Street, behind St. Thomas Cathedral, Old Portsmouth. You can find more information on the group and the dates it runs here.
Every year the Society runs an exhibition in Portsmouth to showcase the talent of local artists in the city and region. Visitors are reminded of the first president from the moment they arrive, with a photograph of W.L. Wyllie featured at the entrance. More than 600 works will be displayed in the Nave of the Cathedral and entry is free. The exhibition runs from 27th July to 7th August.
A full calendar of events can be found over at the Society's website.
The exhibition is open to everyone and will feature works for sale, so whether you love art, are looking for a new painting for your home, or know one of the artists being exhibited, everyone is welcome. The diverse membership of the society also guarantees a diversity of style, subject and media on display, so this is one not to be missed!

Increasing drug use is one of the signs of the end times. Right now, in most of the world, drug use is at an all-time high. And it's having a profound effect on all our lives.
The news media is willing to tell us about drug companies pushing their products on doctors and the public. That fits one of their preferred narratives—that big business is bad. They rarely mention the correlation between legalized marijuana and a general increase in drug use and traffic deaths. Try as they might, they simply can't ignore the enormous number of overdose deaths. So they cover those numbers, but not with the kind of emphasis that such an epidemic deserves. And, according the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it is an epidemic.
A 2017 Pew Survey found that almost half of US adults have a close friend or family member who has been addicted to drugs. But that number is likely low because addiction is not something people tell about themselves. Even close friends don't always know, and family members are often intentionally left in the dark.
Whether you realize it or not, you almost certainly know an addict—probably several. And you encounter addicts almost every day. You drive with them on the streets, they are in line with you at the grocery store, they deliver your packages, work on your car, or sit near you in a pew at church.
I'm not saying that your church friend drives to the seamy side of town and buys packets of heroin from a nefarious pusher, though that is possible. More likely, the pusher was a well-meaning doctor. Your addict friend probably didn't go to a dark, crime-riddled street to buy the drug, but to his local pharmacy. And he might not even know that he is an addict.
Drug abuse affects all our lives in many ways. For one, it kills. According to the CDC, more than 60,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2016 alone. That's just overdoses. It doesn't count the people who died because of damage to their bodies from long-term drug use. It doesn't count the industrial accidents where the addict died or caused the deaths of others.
These days, the news is full of people doing completely insane things. A parent murders his or her children. A person walks into a restaurant and randomly stabs one of the diners. And then there are the mass shootings. Drugs are not the whole problem in any of these situations, but they are often a big part of it. In many cases, drugs make the difference. They push people over the edge.
Godly values provide a restraint on this problem. But as those values decline, the problem grows. Many who think they're looking for a buzz or an escape, are really just looking for comfort in their souls. They know drugs and alcohol provide only a temporary fix while magnifying the problem, but they do it anyway. In their desperation, they just want to survive the moment.
There is a better way. The Maker of our souls can redeem them. He can heal the addicted and the wounds that lead to addiction. A lifestyle directed by His word provides a powerful hedge against the evils of drug abuse.
The word "sorceries" comes from the Greek word "pharmakeia." That's where we get the English word, "pharmacy." This shows that rampant mind-altering drug use will be a fixture near the end of this age.
That's why it's so amazing to see it happening now at levels never seen before. It's happening all over the world. And, most important, it's happening in conjunction with all the other signs for Christ's coming at the end of the age.
In these "gloriously dark" times, let the light of Jesus shine through you!

All Saints' is a church on Jesus Lane in central Cambridge, England, which was built by the architect George Frederick Bodley. The church was constructed in stages between 1863 and 1870 and is a notable example of English Gothic Revival style. It was designated Grade I listed building status in 1950. It was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust in 1981. Opening times vary and visitors should contact the Churches Conservation Trust to confirm current arrangements.

History

All Saints in the Jewry

A mediæval church stood in St John's Street, Cambridge. This was known as All Saints in the Jewry, and previously as All Saints by the Hospital (due to its proximity to the Hospital of St John the Evangelist). This was to distinguish it from the other All Saints' Church in Cambridge at the time, All Saints by the Castle, now demolished.

By the 13th century, the church  was in the patronage of St Radegund's Nunnery, later re-established as Jesus College. The church was rebuilt several times but by the nineteenth century was deemed too small for the growing congregation, being able to accommodate less than 400 of the 1,400 people of the parish. Consisting of box pews, for which there was a levy, the poor were doubly excluded. A plot of land in Jesus Lane was donated by Jesus College and the new building was erected at its junction with Manor Road. The old church was demolished in 1865. The churchyard of the original church is now an open space known as All Saints' Garden and contains a memorial cross designed by Basil Champneys in 1882.

A new church
Although it was initially hoped that George Gilbert Scott would design the new church. G. F. Bodley who had been Scott's talented pupil (and was later a founder of Watts & Co.), was chosen. The foundation stone was laid on 27 May 1863 and the church was consecrated on 30 November 1864. Between 1869 and 1871 the present tower and spire were added, with St Oswald's Church, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, used as the model. The final ornament was a weather vane, donated by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and fixed in place by the priest and author Herbert Mortimer Luckock, later Dean of Lichfield. The author and academic A. C. Bouquet was the parish priest from 1923 to 1945.

As early as the 1920s, All Saints' was already being considered for redundancy by the Church of England. With better social housing in the city, many of the parish's residents had relocated causing the congregation of the church to drop rapidly. This was further aided by the purchase of other larger residences by University colleges whose students did not need a non-collegiate church in which to worship. The final vicar was installed in 1945 and, upon his retirement, services ceased in July 1973. It lay redundant for several years and fell into disrepair, during which time plans to demolish part of the building arose. These were abandoned in 1981. Today the church is available to hire for a wide range of events.

Architecture
The church's spire is a prominent Cambridge landmark. At around  in height it was, at its construction, the tallest building in the city; it remains the city's third tallest building, after the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church. It is constructed from brick as well as Ancaster and Casterton stone. The church was built from a second series of designs and in an early 14th-century style. It consists of a nave, large south aisle which extends almost to the easternmost wall, a chancel and vestry. The exterior is decorated with gargoyles and the spire has decorative lucarne openings.

Interior
The church is noted for its strikingly decorated interior, much of it to designs by Bodley. Fittings by Bodley include the alabaster font, the pulpit, south aisle screen, textiles, pews, candlesticks and tiles. The rood screen was designed in 1904 by John Morley, architect at Rattee & Kett of Cambridge. Its function was not purely liturgical as its cornice hid a large support beam which had been added to bolster the chancel arch from the massive weight of the spire.

The wall and ceiling decorations were applied by F. R. Leach & Sons and form complex, bold stencilled patterns throughout the church.  As well as exotic floral friezes there is much use of religious symbolism such as the Sacred Monogram and the Fleur-de-lis. Around the upper walls are texts from the Book of Revelation () and Psalms in the south aisle, and the Beatitudes () in the nave. Part of the Beatitudes have been lost due to water damage to the plaster. One of the team of artists was David Parr who decorated his own house in a similar style and with similar designs. David Parr House on Gwydir Street has been restored and is open to the public.

The east window was designed by Edward Burne-Jones and executed by Morris & Co. It was installed in 1866 as a memorial to Lady Affleck, wife of William Whewell, master of Trinity College, Cambridge. She had lain the foundation stone of the church in 1863 and also donated £1,000 to its construction. The twenty figures, over four rows, were individually designed by Burne-Jones (12 panes), Ford Madox Brown (4 panes) and William Morris (4 panes). The diagonal lettering and oak leaf borders were designed by Philip Webb. It is most notable for its high proportion of pale, silver-tint glass, which is believed to be a rebellion against the dark, rich colours prevalent in stained glass of the time and it allows much-needed light into the chancel. In the north wall of the nave are three windows by Charles Eamer Kempe and one by Douglas Strachan installed in 1944 which features depictions of Elizabeth Fry, Josephine Butler, Edith Cavell and Mother Cecile Isherwood. There are also two south aisle windows, one by Ward & Hughes and the other by Philip Webb with possible additions by F. R. Leach. High in the west end window are two angels - a sun bearer and a moon bearer designed and produced by William Morris.

2021 and Beyond
In October 2021 a new collaboration between the Churches Conservation Trust and The Arts Society Cambridge saw the introduction of a regular programme of events at All Saints'. Beginning with October Fest, a series of five Sunday lunchtime recitals, Music At All Saints' has attracted a loyal audience. These concerts present innovative and diverse combinations of instruments and repertoire and have been host to three world premiere performances. They continue monthly on the first Sunday of the month. Other projects in 2022 include FABULATION, an art exhibition inspired by the interior decoration of the church and created by Jennifer Campbell, Toby Upson, Cathy Lomax and Luke Burton. Also a live performance of ghost stories by M. R. James with Robert Lloyd Parry, an Autumn exhibition on the textiles of the church and a traditional magic show. Money raised from ticketed events goes to support restoration of the interior lighting, and equip the church with toilet facilities and running water. The external appearance of the church is maintained by a small group of volunteers in collaboration with Cambridge City Council. A website for The Painted Church is now online here. In July 2023 the volunteers will mark the 50th anniversary of the last service to be held at the church by highlighting the efforts it took to rescue All Saints' from demoltion as well as celebrating its optimistic future. Professional artists Sophie Michael and Andrew Munks will stage a brand new exhibition in March/April 2023. The church will also celebrate the coronation of King Charles III and take part in Heritage Open Days/Open Cambridge as well as a third October Fest.

BETHESDA, Md., April 26, 2013 / 3BL Media /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) continues to meet and exceed established sustainability goals as outlined in its 2012 Corporate Sustainability Report, released yesterday.
"We are committed to creating sustainable value for all of our stakeholders," said Chief Executive Officer and President Marillyn A. Hewson. "From energy conservation and waste reduction to community outreach and diversity and inclusion, we are integrating sustainability into the fabric of our culture to make Lockheed Martin a stronger, more responsible and more successful business."
Innovation for Conservation: The Corporation has innovated products for the land, sea, air and space that are smaller, lighter and use less power.
Less Wasteful Packaging: To reduce the cost and labor involved in making and shipping canopies for F-35 fighter jets, the company successfully developed and implemented a reusable container for packaging, receiving and shipping parts.
Reduced Consumption: Simply by using less electricity, natural gas and water, the company reduced consumption costs by more than $20 million in 2012 compared to 2007—savings that were reinvested in the business.
Supplier Support: For the third year in a row, Lockheed Martin earned an "outstanding" rating from the Defense Contract Management Agency for its support of small and diverse suppliers.
Smart Energy Management: Lockheed Martin delivered $54 million in energy savings incentives to utility customers and developed electrical generator systems that use dramatically less fuel for military customers.
"Greener" Operations: The Corporation has reduced carbon emissions by more than 450,000 metric tons since 2007—the equivalent of taking almost 100,000 cars off the road.
Water Conservation: Since 2007, Lockheed Martin has cut water usage by more than 700 million gallons—enough to fill an estimated 1,100 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Employee Volunteerism: In 2012, Lockheed Martin employees volunteered more than one million hours to help strengthen communities where they live and work.
An Inclusive Workplace: Lockheed Martin was named a "Best Place to Work" by the Human Rights Campaign and received a "100" rating in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index—a national benchmarking tool used to evaluate corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender employees.
This is the second year that Lockheed Martin has published a comprehensive Sustainability Report. In 2012, Lockheed Martin established the Office of Corporate Sustainability to integrate business decision-making affecting all stakeholders. The company also integrated the Global Reporting Initiative framework in sustainability reporting efforts.
The full report is available at www.lockheedmartin.com/2012-sustainability-report. Visitors to the website are encouraged to read the report and to share ideas on how Lockheed Martin can improve its sustainability performance.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 118,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.

Q: Jquery Validation Plugin, Use option's data element as check for validation I'm looking for a way to have JQuery validate plugin check the value of a selected option's data element to determine if the selection is valid or invalid. The reason invalid options need to be included in the select is primarily for display purposes. i.e. if I have a select with the question "What colour is your house?" and I have options "Red", "Blue", "Green", the end user needs to be explicitly shown that "Green" is not a valid choice.
Right now I'm using 'validate' for everything else but I had to write in a separate function to check these fields and I'd like to be able to do it all with just 'validate'.

            },
            myselect: {
                // HOW DO I DEFINE THIS RULE SO THAT
                // IF OPTION 3 IS SELECTED THIS RETURNS
                // INVALID
            }
        }
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id='myform' name='myform'>
    <input type='text' id='email' name='email value='' />
    <select id='myselect' name='myselect'>
        <option id='1' data-is_valid='1'>Option 1</option>
        <option id='2' data-is_valid='1'>Option 2</option>
        <option id='3' data-is_valid='0'>Option 3</option>
        <option id='4' data-is_valid='1'>Option 4</option>
    </select>
</form>

A: Quote OP:

"I had to write in a separate function to check these fields and I'd like to be able to do it all with just validate."

You could use the .addMethod() method to wrap your separate function and turn it into a rule.

However, if you'd take the time to explain why you'd want to restrict a select to certain options, when you're already in control of how the select is created in the first place, a better answer or workaround could possibly be suggested.  (this is one way that SO benefits everyone else long after the OP is satisfied)

A: Here's how I ended up solving it:
Thankyou to Sparky for pointing me in the right direction
jQuery.validator.addMethod("valid_option", function(value, element) {
    if ($(":selected", element).data('is_valid') == "1") {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}, "&nbsp&nbspError, Invalid Selection");

Below is my August debt payments as well as my savings. I'm not actually adding anything to my savings just yet as I'm trying (not being successful at) throwing everything at my debts.
I aim to have 100 units in a stock and then I'll move onto the next. I have looked at my stock for a few months so am unsure what last months balance was, I can say that when I did look at it a few months a go it was only around the £300 mark.
I want to at some point buy shares but they are much costlier to purchase.
Do you invest in stocks & shares?
