Several news outlets are now reporting that residents of Tiger Woods' exclusive Isleworth Community have seen the world's No. 1 player out hitting golf balls at night.
The residents claim that Woods has been coming home for therapy sessions with his wife, Elin, and then heading to the golf course to hit a large number of balls under the cover of darkness.
Well, it sounds like Woods may finally be making some intelligent decisions.
First, despite reports circulating about his impending divorce, he appears to be making at least some kind of an effort to save his marriage.
And second, he's playing golf!
There are only two ways Tiger Woods will not eventually overcome this whole ordeal and get back to at least near where he was prior to the public learning of his infidelities.
1) If he's never the same player again, then this scandal will always be remembered as his ultimate downfall.
2) Although there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest it at this time, if any evidence ever came to l...

It's hard to believe almost an entire year has gone by since we awarded our San Francisco-based Alternative Grant. For those just tuning in, the prize money and TechShop membership went to Electroloom developer Aaron Rowley – at the time, in the very early stages of concepting a personal 3D printer for clothing. After Fast Company took notice, Rowley and his team received support and interest from all over the world, taking their project to the next level. At last check, the team had made Electroloom their full-time focus, spending the majority of their free hours toiling away at TechShop to advance their prototype. What's transpired in the last six months? Read on to find out.
So what's happened since last time we talked?
Since we last spoke we joined an accelerator program in the Bay Area – Boost VC. The idea is that early stage companies receive help with their business and a small capital investment to get things off the ground and start building. The program culminated in a demo day at the end of October. We pitched a room of a few hundred investors and are hoping to leverage those leads into additional funding to build a larger team over the next few months.
What's been your biggest victory to date?
It's really interesting – as we discussed last, when we applied for the grant we were in the very early stages of development. We didn't have anything substantial, just early conceptual designs. Now that we've spent a year to build the actual functional machine, it works close to how it was envisioned and reflects our original plans. Overall, it's a bigger project than we first imagined which means we'll need to spend more time working to overcome the challenges that have popped up along the way.
Tell us about the immediate challenges.
We want the technology to be able to make complex shapes. So far it can do somewhat complex shapes – we've made sheets, towels and pillowcases, all seamless. It can't do a t-shirt yet, for example. It's definitely possible, just a matter of figuring how to make the machine work that way.
What's upcoming for 2015?
We're approaching a year out from grants and there's been so many ups and downs but now it actually works. Now we're focused on improving the technology. On the materials side we want the end-result fabric to eventually be durable and diverse. Currently, it's not very strong but it is very soft and cohesive. We would love to work with a materials scientist and chemist to improve the fabric.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, childhood obesity, dysmorphic features, hypogonadism, mental retardation, and behavioral problems. Although PWS is most often caused by a paternal interstitial deletion of a 6-Mb region of chromosome 15q11-q13, the identity of the exact protein coding or noncoding RNAs whose deficiency produces the PWS phenotype is uncertain. There are also reports describing a PWS-like phenotype in a subset of patients with full mutations in the FMR1 (fragile X mental retardation 1) gene. Taking advantage of the human genome sequence, we have performed extensive sequence analysis and molecular studies for the PWS candidate region.

While the tournament is a celebration of the accomplishments of the student-athletes, it is also a testament to the hard work of these men and women who have dedicated their careers to intercollegiate athletics
Athens, OH (PRWEB) March 18, 2016
The NCAA basketball tournament is an exciting time of year, but for many Ohio University Sports Administration alumni, its for a different reason than winning the office bracket pool. For student-athletes it is the opportunity to compete on a national stage and a chance at their "one shining moment." For millions of fans it is a chance to show off their sports knowledge by winning the office bracket pool.
For many Ohio University Master of Sports Administration alumni, March Madness is part of the job.
In the 50 years of the sports administration program at OHIO, hundreds of graduates have gone on to work in college athletics and had notable success. For alumni like Clint Gwaltney, a Senior Associate Athletic Director for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the tournament has become a fixture on the spring schedule.
The 2016 tournament will be Gwaltney's 20th since graduating from the MSA program in 1995. It is the eighth time the Tar Heels have earned a number one seed in that time, and will be a chance at their third national title in Clint's tenure.
"Every year, I look forward to being at a different NCAA Tournament site for three straight weeks. It is also nice to bump into other graduates from the MSA program while moving from city to city. I am very fortunate to be associated with the Carolina Basketball program which has afforded me this opportunity for the last 20 years," said Gwaltney.
This year, a total of 51 OHIO alumni are represented among the 68 schools that made the field for the Division I Men's Basketball tournament. Another 28 are actively involved in March Madness at the conference level and the NCAA.
Included in that number are four athletic directors and four conference commissioners. Graduating classes are represented as far back as 1973, and as recent as the currently enrolled Professional MSA students.
"Every year it is exciting to see the growing number of our alumni working at insitutions competing in the NCAA tournament," said Jim Kahler, Executive Director of the Center for Sports Administration. "While the tournament is a celebration of the accomplishments of the student-athletes, it is also a testament to the hard work of these men and women who have dedicated their careers to intercollegiate athletics."
Visit our website at http://business.ohio.edu/about/news/how-ohio-sports-ad-alumni-spend-march-madness/ to see the full list of Ohio University MSA alumni who are working at NCAA member institutions that will be competing in this year's edition of #MarchMadness.

I have a basement door that I wish I would have had this idea to do on years ago might try this for my sewing space downstairs if I ever get walls... that way the kids could see me and talk to me without cheetoo fingering my projects and pushing all my pins all the way into my pin cushion!!!ReplyDelete
Julie! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :) Chalkboard paint is a great idea - I think I'll do the playroom closet door! It's still a terrible oak, flat paneled monster. :)Delete

It's easy to determine the weight of a princess-cut diamond when you have a scale, but can you calculate the carats of such a stone without weighing it? Let's see how you can estimate the weight of a princess-cut diamond by its measurements.
Princess Cut Shape and Important Measurements
Princess-cut diamonds have a rectangular shape, and most such stones are square (or approximately square), i.e., all their sides are equal.
The most important dimensions of a princess-cut diamond you should be familiar with are its length, width, and depth:
- The length and the width of a princess-cut stone are measured along the girdle, which is the widest part of the diamond.
- The depth of a princes-cut diamond is the vertical distance from its flat top (the table) to its bottom.
These are the measurements you need to know in order to estimate the weight of a princess-cut diamond. Let's see how this is done.
Formula for Estimating the Weight of a Princess-Cut Diamond
The formula for calculating the carat weight of princess-cut diamonds is the following:
Weight (ct) = Length (mm) x Width (mm) x Depth (mm) x Coefficient
You already know how the length, width, and depth of a princess-cut stone are defined and how to measure them.
What you also need to know is how to calculate the value of the coefficient, which depends on the length-to-width ratio of the diamond.
To figure out the coefficient value, divide the length of the diamond by its width, and then find below the value that is closest to the result you got:
- Ratio closest to 1.25: Coefficient = 0.0080
- Ratio closest to 1.50: Coefficient = 0.0090
- Ratio closest to 2.00: Coefficient = 0.0100
- Ratio closest to 2.50: Coefficient = 0.0105
After you've determined which of the ratios above is closest to the length-to-width ratio of your diamond, use the corresponding coefficient in the formula to estimate the stone's weight.
A worked example: Suppose you have a princess-cut diamond with a length of 5.5 mm, width of 5 mm, and depth of 4 mm.
Its length-to-width ratio will be equal to 1.1 (5.5/5), and the coefficient value will be equal to 0.008. Using the formula, this is how the carat weight of the stone will be calculated:
Weight = 5.5 x 5 x 4 x 0.008 = 0.88 carats
Most princess-cut diamonds have square dimensions, or ones that are very close to square, so in most cases, their length-to-width ratios will be close to 1, and the coefficient you will need to use will be equal to 0.008.
Don't forget that this formula gives you only an approximation of a diamond's carat weight, so be aware that you will need to factor in some margin of error when interpreting the result.
Millimeter-to-Carat Conversion Table for Princess-Cut Diamonds
If you want a quick way of estimating the weight of a princess-cut diamond, you can reference a millimeter-to-carat conversion table.
The one below contains the most common diamond carat weights and shows what side length corresponds to each carat value.
These values are for square princess-cut diamonds, so it is assumed that all their sides are equal in length:
3.5 mm – 0.25 ct
4.4 mm – 0.50 ct
5.0 mm – 0.75 ct
5.5 mm – 1.00 ct
6.0 mm – 1.25 ct
6.4 mm – 1.50 ct
7.0 mm – 2.00 ct
8.0 mm – 3.00 ct
The values in this table are calculated assuming a certain proportion of the depth of the stone to its length, but your diamond won't necessarily have the same dimensions.
So, use these values only as a general guideline – they are not meant to replace a more precise calculation.
Where to Buy Diamond Jewelry?
We recommend James Allen (read review) because you can see a 360-degree video for any diamond before buying it. Blue Nile is another reputable retailer you can check out.

Formerly a homeless stray, Darwin was the Best Dog at his parents' wedding! Darwin was found on the Philadelphia streets, neglected and matted. PAWS took him in, provided food, shelter, veterinary care, and a much-needed haircut, then placed him up for adoption.
Darwin met Jake and Amanda when they attended PAWS' Mutt Strut, our annual fundraiser and adoption festival. They fell in love and have been a family ever since!

Tentatively moving forward
What to do about the adoption thing?
It all seems like a huge mountain to climb, with absolutely no guarantees that you will reach the summit, and every chance the failure to do so could push us over the edge.
What if ....adoption was an easy process?
What if .....we just had to fill in a form with our names and address and in due course get our adopted toddler?
Would we do it?
Yes, of course.
And we UNDERSTAND why there have to be all these hoops.
They wouldn't know just from a simple form if we are nice people (which we are) or axe murderers (which we aren't).
We will go through the process.
We always have the caveat - if it gets too much, we can stop.
So I phoned the department who had interviewed us.
OMG - they said they REALLY liked us.
They were about to call us to 'kind of headhunt' us, as we hadn't contacted them immediately.
[Do you know - my confidence has been so low that I got off the phone and CRIED because it's the first time anyone 'external' has been positive about my prospects as a parent (or, to be frank, professionally) for AGES.]
Suddenly I feel there may be some hope out there.
Next appointment with Social Services - 16th October.
Let the vetting process begin.
Am I afraid?

At 45mm wide, the Classic Fusion Replica case is the most "conservative" of all the Hublot cases. Those who like carbon fiber will notice how well Hublot is able to integrate the material into the case dial with perfectly angled weave patterns – this is something which is not actually easy to accomplish. I've gone back and forth with my taste for carbon fiber over the years. I've decided that while I am not a huge fan of carbon fiber on dials, cases made of carbon fiber are pretty cool. They are also really light in weight which adds to their appeal.
The minute repeater activator lever is "hidden" on the case as the left lateral insert. Slide it up, and you'll "covertly" activate the minute repeater. The movement also features the time as well as a 60 second tourbillon. The Hublot Replica Swiss Movement Classic Fusion Tourbillon Cathedral Minute Repeater Carbon watch doesn't have the most legible dial in the world, but it does have an actual ring of hour markers – which you don't always get with dials which are just the movement.
The HUB 8001 movement is very nice to look at and feels its value, with modern yet traditional finishing and a lot of interesting things to look at. When people complain to me that Hublot is just a high-end fashion brand, I share with them stuff like this. Sure it doesn't make Hublot suddenly conservative and justified in its many sometimes spurious relationships, but it does show a more "watch nerd friendly" side to the brand.
The in-house made Fake Hublot Watches movement is manually wound with 5 days of power reserve operating at 3Hz. Hublot actually claims that it has a "double Cathedral chime," probably because it has two gongs. The movement is further produced from 319 parts – which is relatively efficient for such a movement.
In its modern carbon fiber case, it is difficult to predict who the type of customer for the Hublot Replica Watches For Sale is going to be. On the one end, you have a high-end tourbillon minute repeater movement, and on the other end, you have a sports-oriented 45mm wide carbon fiber case. I suppose that is what we can most expect from Hublot – watches that cross lines and attempt to intersect with a few interests.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve Novelties has added two new toys, the Magic Massager and Silicone Butt Beads, to their arsenal of pleasure products.
To combat what the company considers one of the biggest caveats of other vibrators, namely battery replacement, the Magic Massager siphons its energy from a five-and-half foot wall plug. The constant flow of electricity reportedly keeps the vibration strong and even throughout use.
It's tipped with a 2.5 inch flexible ball spring head for clitoral stimulation and/or full-body massage. Adam & Eve notes that its wide tip could also be appropriated for internal exploration.
The Magic Massager also features a long handle for easy gripping and dual "low" and "high" settings; Adam & Eve says the low setting is quite strong and suffices for most.
Adam & Eve Novelties also announced the release of another new product, Silicone Butt Beads. The firm and flexible beads are connected in an ascending order of girth to let users work their way up to bigger sizes. The string is attached to a soft silicone ring for easy removal.

Okay well summer is coming to an end because this morning's gorgeous sweater weather and hot apple cider that I got is proof. Yet I can't seem to let summer go JUST YET. So to try to stretch it out I did an underwater themed manicure.
I got these starfish water decals from Born Pretty. I was debating on the mermaids or the starfish and went with the starfish because the mermaid decals looked way to big to fit my nails.
I have never in my life used decals ever so this was a first experience for me. When I tell you that I didn't know how to use it... *sigh... it got to the point that my boyfriend helped me and got it on before I did and I almost just quit lol
Directions (from Born Pretty Website):
1.Trim, clean and polish the fingernails; paint the background coior on the fingernails and dry it out.
2. Remove the film of product,cut out the patter and plunge it into water 10-20 seconds.
3. Moisten the fingernails, stick the patter in position.
4. Sop up the water with a paper towel and blow dry.
5. Cap with clear nail polish and blow dry.
Sounds simple enough. So I did the usual with my nails and then put 2 coats of Picture Polish Ocean, as show in the first photo. My first mistake was that I didn't remove the plastic film thinking that the plastic film the directions were referring to was the plastic package it came from x.x THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT! Learning from my mistakes >.>
This is how it came off after SUPER CAREFULLY pulling the plastic away. AGAIN THIS IS NOT THE PROPER WAY. I WASN'T PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION X.X
Second time around... I REMOVED the correct protective film. I turned on the flash so you can see that I removed it. As you can see I had many failed attempts LOL
Next you soak it in water for 10-20 seconds. Usually I rub the decal between my fingers in the water till this happens.
After that then I proceeded to stick it on my finger and I made a short video to try it out (video wise). If it's a bit blurry I apologize but you can see how I applied it.
For my right hand I decided to use the Shell decals from my last post and some pearls. I kinda wish that I thought of that first because I think my right hand is prettier LOL.
Here's a less blurry photo.
What did you girls think? I had a lot of fun learning how to use these as well as a good bonding experience with my boyfriend since he gets curious when I start using new tools for nail stuffs. I'm definitely in love with these decals and I'll be purchasing more since they're so much easier than stamping (a skill I have yet to master T^T)
You can find these starfish water decals and other nail art products from Born Pretty Store you can visit their website by clicking here, or the coupon below! Use the code 'TM10K31' to get 10% off your entire purchase.

From the age of 3, Quade Bowen liked to ride with his father, Johnny, on the tractor across their family farm in Utah, in the US.
Every spring and summer, Quade would help him tend the fields. Sometimes, the child would hold the sprayer wand to kill the weeds infiltrating their alfafa and hay crops.
In 2014, when he was 11, Quade was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, and form part of the immune system.
His family believes Quade has "suffered the affects as a direct and proximate result of the unreasonable and defective nature of RoundUp".
The Bowen's claims are contained in one of more than 1 100 lawsuits spanning farming communities, and gardeners, in the US who allege they contracted the blood cancer after using RoundUp, the most popular herbicide in the world, produced by global seed and chemical giant Monsanto.
In the Bowen's court papers, filed earlier this year, they allege they did not know of an association between exposure to RoundUp and the increased risk of developing non-Hodgkins lymphoma until well after the the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialised cancer arm of the World Health Organisation, classified glyphosate (the main ingredient in RoundUp) as a probable human carcinogen in early 2015.
This classification sparked global controversy – and an avalanche of litigation – amid fierce denials from Monsanto that the chemical, introduced in 1974, was unsafe.
The IARC found sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the cancer-causing ability of glyphosate, and limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
In South Africa, cancer watchdogs, too, are concerned.
In a recent 18-page position paper, authored by Professor Michael Herbst, the Cancer Association of SA (Cansa) says it accepts the IARC's classification of glyphosate as probably carcinogenic and its finding of an association between non-Hodgkins lymphoma and glyphosate.
It has initiated a study to examine potential links links between non-Hodgkins lymphoma and glyphosate exposure in South Africa's maize belt.
The National Institute for Occupational Health is doing a preliminary project, led by Dr Mpume Ndaba, to see if a large national project is feasible.
Professor David Rees, who heads the occupational medicine division, said the preliminary work would describe the historical and current use of glyphosate in South Africa and research on non-Hodgkins lymphoma to get a better sense of where people are diagnosed and what proportion of cases are HIV-positive.
"Then we want to do a pilot project in one hospital to see, in these cases that are diagnosed, what level of information we can get on how many people might have been exposed. We can then decide on a bigger project There are so many products containing glyphosate in South Africa, it can be hard to ascertain exposure."
In South Africa, glyphosate, sold locally as RoundUp, is sprayed on genetically modified food crops including the staple food maize – as much as 80% is genetically modified – to withstand applications of glyphosate.
Glyphosate, say experts, is the most used herbicide in South Africa: in 2012, more than 23 million litres were sold and these figures are "surging annually", say experts.
In its position paper, Cansa says animal and epidemiology studies in the past decade point to the need for a "fresh look" at glyphosate toxicity.
It calls on the National Department of Health to investigate the health implications of glyphosate exposure in South Africa "with a view to institute control measures over its free availability".
The department's last national sample in 2012/2013 found all maize samples tested were compliant. Its limits are sufficient, says the department, explaining how after the IARC's report, the joint meeting on pesticides residues re-evaluated glyphosate and "concluded that glyphosate is unlikely to be genotoxic at anticipated dietary exposures and glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans from exposure through diet".
Dr Melissa Wallace, head of research at Cansa, said: "We take our stance from the IARC, which is an extremely reputable body."

Awesome Cake Photos from our Wedding
Our amazing "Bollywood Sunset" style cake was lovingly created by Elena from Oh My Ganache! Bakery in Collierville, TN. This lady is the most incredible woman on the face of the planet: first of all, she has an awesome Russian accent, secondly she is amazing talented (she handmade those roses on our cake completely out of sugar-yes, they were edible!), and last but not least, she has the best personality.
We were so stunned by the quality of our cakes, and they were for a great price too! Everyone loved the groom's cake. It was strawberry flavored and covered in chocolate ganache- even the chess pieces were made of real solid chocolate!
I made the adorable chibi toppers of me and Yoshi on top. Our wedding was perfect!

Happy New Year!
It's the year of the dragon! Along with the year of presidential elections!
In honor of such, I just couldn't help myself to create this little (hopefully) meme. I thought it was funny; not only because people constantly mis-pronounce Katamari Damacy as Katamari Democracy, but also because it is a hilarious thought to think of the little prince rolling up the whole world and its capitals.
Okay, maybe that wasn't hilarious, but more horrifying. Hey, at least we will live on as stars!

I played with Barbies until I was about 12. Older than most, I know. Maybe it was 11, maybe 13, but a long, long time.
There are very few toys from my childhood that I loved more than I loved my Barbies.
I don't remember when I received my first Barbie doll. By the end of my Barbie tenure, however, I had lots. Like two large rubbermaid bins full, the full deluxe dream house (spotted in my parents closet weeks before gift-giving), three cars, a couple Ken dolls, a Joey McIntyre doll and a Jem doll (hey, 90s kid here). My lifelong best friend had the camper. I was, and perhaps still am, really jealous. I had a Skipper, a Kelly, and a Teresa. She had brown hair.
I loved my Teresa barbie. She looked like me.
Now, I had it pretty good. I'm white. Able bodied. And still, to have a Barbie that looked kind of like me was a big deal.
Now, with the news today that Barbie is set to launch a new line of dolls – with different body types, heights, skin tones, features, and yes, hair colours, I am tickled, well, pink.
This one looks like me and this one looks like my mom. Right in the feels, people.
Barbie is a contentious issue for feminists.
I know that Barbie is the poster-doll for an unrealistic body image. I know she is a product. I know she makes money for large corporations that surely don't need any more. I know that this new line was likely introduced to reinvent the Barbie doll – to sell Barbies when Barbies aren't really selling so great anymore.
The thing is, for me – a thirtysomething feminist mother of two young girls – Barbie is more than a toy. Barbie is my childhood.
I learned to sew so that I could make Barbie clothes. I learned about gender, and played around with the idea of family dynamics and structure with Barbie. My Barbies married each other. They became lawyers. They were teachers. They went on adventures – camping, mountain climbing, to the moon. I remember making Barbie and Ken have (gasp!) S-E-X under the blankets in their bedroom in the Barbie dream house. I learned that you should always put the scissors in the hands of a hairdressing professional.
My best friend and I would spread a blanket out on the front lawn and play Barbies for hours. We learned about life, about relationships, and about friendship through Barbies.
And you know what, I have been okay giving Barbies to my kids. Even before this big announcement, I have happily played with Barbies with my girls. I know the problems associated with a toy line, but I've felt able to balance it out a little with using that time to teach, to demonstrate, and to share with them stories of my own childhood, of their Auntie Dar, and of how my mother used to tell me she only ever had one Barbie herself, and aren't we so lucky to be able to have so many things to play with.
I even like the self-deprecating Life in the Dreamhouse – there's some smart humour in there obviously aimed at adults who also grew up with Barbie.
So yes, I'm aware that Mattel is a company selling toys for profit, that this release likely has some very smart marketing behind it. Of course they are making money – hello capitalism! But if consumers have demanded (both vocally and through buying power) that children's toys look like the children playing with them and the company has responded – I'm all for it.
Is this new line perfect? Hell no. Curvy Barbie reads as "average size Barbie" and there is no sign of any larger sizes coming down the pipe. Introducing new Barbies, however, that look younger and wear less makeup, have the ability to wear flats (this girl's go-to), are different heights, body shapes and skin tones, and some even wearing freakin' glasses, my girls can not only pretend to be anyone else, but Barbie may also perhaps help them figure out who they are too, as they can see themselves (and their mama) in Barbie.
And if you need me, I'll be patiently waiting until this Barbie becomes available. Because she looks just like me.

All you need to make a day-to-night panorama is two shots; one taken before the sun goes down and one after. Create a day-to-night panorama If you want to put a creative spin on a city scene, try this day-to-night effect.
It's not something you can create solely in camera, but the shooting is certainly more important than the editing; without applying good technique when capturing the images, you won't be able to blend them in Photoshop or Elements later.
The technique works by shooting a series of pictures from full daylight to twilight, keeping the shooting positing and other camera settings consistent. How many pictures you take is up to you, but the technique can be done with just two shots, as long as the lighting is different enough between them. Next the pictures are aligned and blended in Photoshop.
It's a great technique to try, especially when on holidays or travelling as it can brings something a little bit different to well-known scenes.
1/ Visualise the scene
Your day-to-night shot needs good composition to work. The transition from daytime into twilight needs to be gradual, and it's also a good idea to feature lots of artificial lighting in the night part of the scene, which creates a more obvious contrast with the daylight areas. It's also important to make sure that you can actually return to the scene, or wait on location without being disturbed. Something like a hotel balcony is therefore ideal. For this shot, I used a quiet dockside location, in easy reach of a restaurant that I could wait in between shots.
2/ Take the first shot
Once you've located a scene that you think will work, you can take the first of the pictures. Camera position needs to be consistent, so either set up on a tripod, or find something in the scene that you can balance the camera on, like a bench, or pillar (you'll need to return to this exact same spot later). To make the images easy to blend in Photoshop, the depth-of-field, and the point of focus needs to be consistent. So, in aperture-priority mode (A or Av), set a medium to high f/number, such as f/8, f/11 or f/16, which will keep most of the scene sharp. Now focus on a part of the scene and remember that point. You can now take the first shot.
3/ Kill some time
Now you need to wait. But, if you're leaving the scene, it can help to take a shot of the camera position and settings on your mobile – this may make it easier for you to align the camera later. If you can leave the camera unattended it's much simpler, of course.
4/ Take the second shot
At twilight, return to your shooting position. It's now time to make sure that the camera is in the same place, and that you're using the same aperture setting and point of focus. Compose just the same as the first shot, but then pan the camera around slightly, shifting the view so it'll be expanded in the final image. You should have about 50% overlap between each of the pictures for blending to work. As it will now be darker, the shutter speed will have fallen in comparison to the first shot. Here it was 60sec at f/8 ISO 200, and I used the self-timer drive mode to avoid any camera shake in the image.
5/ Photomerge the images
Load both of the images into Photoshop, then go to File>Automate>Photomerge. Choose the Auto option, click Add Open Files, then untick Blend Images Together (this will be done manually). Tick Geometric Distortion Correction, and click OK to start the process. Once completed, the images will be aligned and ready for blending.
6/ Blend day and night exposures
Now, in the Layers palette (Window>Layers), click on the top layer to make sure it's highlighted, and pick the Eraser tool (E). Set the Eraser to 100% Opacity, and 0% Hardness so that it has a soft edge, Now run it over the join between the two pictures. Next, to improve the join, reduce the Opacity to 20% and erase a little more, creating a more graduated look. Finally, pick the Crop tool (C), and drag it out over the image, making sure that any rough edges are outside the box. Click the tick to make the crop, then go to Layer > Flatten Image, and save your completed image.
Want to take it further?
Although this technique works perfectly with just two pictures, you can create a wider panorama, and feature more stages of the day and night transition, simply by taking more pictures. All it takes is a bit more planning and patience. And if you want more control when blending the different times of day, try using Layer Masks instead of the Eraser tool.. digitalrev.com

Have A Happy !
|Recipe courtesy Johnnie Gabriel
|Paula's Party
|Atlanta Eats
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (recommended: White Lily)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cocoa
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 (1-ounce) bottle red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
For the cream cheese frosting:
1/2 cup margarine
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 box confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped lightly toasted pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round layer cake pans.
Sift flour, baking soda and coco together. Beat sugar and eggs together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl mix together oil, vinegar, food coloring, and vanilla. Add to the bowl of eggs and sugar and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the wet mixture by alternating the buttermilk and dry ingredients. Always start with the flour and end with the flour.
Pour batter into pans. Tap them on the table to level out the batter and release air bubbles. Bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted near the middle comes out clean but be careful not to over bake or you'll end up with a dry cake.
Let layers cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before turning out of pan. Cool completely before frosting.
For the cream cheese frosting:
This is the "official" cream cheese frosting recipe but we always use about 1 1/2 recipes on each cake to cover it well.
Let margarine and cream cheese soften to room temperature. Cream well. Add sugar and beat until mixed but not so much that the frosting becomes "loose". Add vanilla and nuts. Spread between layers and on top and sides of cake.

This weekend, I went from Boston, to Manhattan, to 19th century Russia, and back again–and by that I mean, I saw Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 on Broadway!
After grabbing a delicious brunch at Sarabeth's Park Avenue South (my go-to spot!) with my friend Kayla, we went back to the theatre district for our matinees! Kayla got last-minute tickets to see Waitress (she got to box office about 20 minutes before the show and scored $79 "partial view" tickets! (she said nothing was actually obstructed)) and I picked up my tickets for Great Comet (I splurged and purchased them ahead of time).
When you first walk into the Imperial Theatre, the walls are colorless, covered in political propaganda posters reminiscent of the imperial Russian rule under which the show takes place. It's a bit unsettling, and you don't know quite how to react. But once you get past the ticket scanners, you enter the lavish world of the Russian elite. From the ornate, celestial chandeliers to the dumplings being passed around by ensemblists before the show, the creative team truly thought of every detail to immerse the audience in the world of the show.
The story itself is taken from a 70-page slice of Tolstoy's War and Peace, following Natasha (Denée Benton), a young princess whose fiancé is off fighting in the war, and Pierre (Josh Groban), a wealthy, unhappily married man struggling with his purpose in life. Natasha is swept away by the dashing Anatole (Lucas Steele), and goes on a journey complete with awkward meetings with future-in-laws, an amorous evening at the opera, and a daring foray into the radical Russian nightlife.
I've never seen a show on Broadway before where the cast dances two feet in front of you or sings directly at you. Or, for some audience members, where the cast joins your table, inviting you into the scene. The set of Great Comet is a swirling sight, cascading throughout the entire theatre with platforms, staircases, and "candle"-lit side tables dotted between the seats. Everyone is in on a secret, all drawn in to the operatic experience, swept away by the irresistible glamour and intrigue of the ensemble's dramatic exploits.
Dave Malloy's score has influences from Russian folk, indie rock, classic opera, and EDM–all genres you would never expect to blend together, but it works so well that it's mesmerizing and you never want it to stop. The melodies are haunting and the orchestrations give you chills. The most magical moments are when the ensemble, scattered throughout the orchestra, the mezzanine, and the stage, sing soaring harmonies, engulfing the audience in glorious refrain. Other times, the music accelerates into a rambunctious celebration of life and you want to get up out of your seat to join the party.
The lighting design by Bradley King is breathtaking. Sitting up in the mezzanine, and even in the orchestra, there are chandeliers and dangling light bulbs mere feet above your head, so their beauty is not lost on you. It's almost like looking up at a dazzling night sky, shimmering with gold splendor.
As the show progressed, with the intense, intentional escapism from the war going on just beyond closed doors, I couldn't help but be reminded of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret. As Great Comet's opening song goes, "Chandeliers and caviar, the war can't touch us here." But that, and the at times provocative ensemblists, are as far as the comparisons go–Great Comet is an entity all its own.
While this is truly an ensemble piece, it would be remiss to write about Great Comet without mentioning the exceptional performances by Josh Groban (Pierre), Denée Benton (Natasha), Brittain Ashford (Sonya) and Lucas Steele (Anatole). Each actor and actress gave an evocative, heartfelt performance that truly helped propel the story along, keeping the audience emotionally engaged and invested in the characters they embodied.
Nearly 150 years after War and Peace's publication, the story continues to enthrall audiences in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 on Broadway. From the beginning of its journey at Ars Nova, to productions both off-Broadway and at the A.R.T., Great Comet has truly found its home on the Great White Way. I can't recommend it enough, and I hope you get the chance to see it. While any seat in the house is great, I loved sitting in the front row center of the rear mezzanine.
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 is now playing on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit http://greatcometbroadway.com/.

March 24, 2010 (FORD HEIGHTS, Ill.) --Some type of chemical attack sent four people to the hospital, including the alleged suspect, Wednesday night.
Investigators are still trying to figure out what led to the attack in the 1300-block of Kennedy Street in Ford Heights.
Police say three people were standing in a front yard when the suspect threw a liquid chemical on them. Witnesses told police the suspect knew the victims and returned to the location after an earlier argument.
All four people involved are hospitalized with burns.

The Platform Line
An overlong, repeating anticlimax to a efficient franchise
Press examining, Hong Kong
Keishi Otomo
Rurouni Kenshin: The Tale Finishes film series could certainly offer as a, if not the, main example of a outstanding supposition outstaying its welcome. As opposed to the enhancing expert success of each of its three expenses, Keishi Otomo's difference of Nobuhiro Watsuki's swordsman manga is generating decreasing innovative earnings — and The Tale Completes, which has cause box-office roles in Asia for past periods four a few several weeks since its Sept. 16 beginning, is the least satisfying availability of the lot.
The past follow up, Kyoto Inferno, also had its longueurs through protracted fights designed generally to finish time or offer yet another possibility of cause personality Kenshin Himura (Takeru Sato) to sulk and fight against the murderous instinct he has guaranteed to suppress; but at least they still operate fascinating choreography with an excusable raison d'etre. The Tale Completes, however, expands its already very thin arc — Himura is aware of one last technique he would use to defeat uber-villain Makoto Shishio (Tatsuya Fujiwara) in any tie — into two-hours-plus of red-herring activities and action moments nearing caricature, such as any four-against-one melee of po-faced absurdity.{adinserter 4}
Picking up after Kyoto Inferno's last moments — when Himura actions off Shishio's battleship to protect his paramour. Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei) — the film finds Himura retrieving in shack of the man who stored him — who just so happens to be Seijuro (Masaharu Fukuyama, Like Dad, Like Son), the man who qualified him to fighting when he was a kid. Then there's Kaoru, put in the medical center in a coma while sidekicks Sanosuke Sagara (Munetaka Aoki) and Yahiko Myojin (Kaito Ohyagi) bemoan around, looking forward to her to wake up.
Finally, there's Shishio and his underlings who, dangerous devastation with their lately designed battleship, browbeat the new Meiji-era government — revealed by Hirobumi Ito (Yukiyoshi Ozawa), the samurai transformed politician who would go on to become Japan's first-ever pm — into a devil's pact that contains them moving Himura (and the country) over.
It's an display which features the overall look of the U.S. fast off the coast of Dallas in 1853, when Commodore Matthew C. Perry knowledgeable to begin fire unless Asia made the decision to negotiate and sign contracts allowing America provides and organizations 100 % 100 % free availability its spots and market segments.{adinserter 4}
Historical allusions certainly offer the Ruruoni Kenshin films with some intensity, especially in that the series is inspired by its wish for both its numbers and bad individuals to reconfigure their ideas of dedication, stability and old-school bushido concepts.
Then again, these designs, which wish to set up a important main for The Tale Completes, are damaged by the yawning gaps in which nothing much happens. Figures talk about in glib soundbites offering cod philosophy: Himura's trainer and friends harp on about the value of self-respect, while Shishio — all covered up because of the burns he knowledgeable at the hands of his erstwhile government organizations — taunts his opponents for their altered values and unable to see that there's advantage to be had in fearmongering. Shishio's insane underlings get moments with either over-the-top villainy (the trigger-happy gun expert Hoji Sadojima, conducted by Kenichi Takitoh) or a simple have a good laugh (the well-mannered and charming sociopath Sojiro Seta, conducted by Ryunosuke Kamiki).{adinserter 4}
But beyond all these stuttering histrionics, the tale is allowed to move about on, as very little material is forced to sustain the film for a long period. Just like its precursor, The Tale Completes provides a type of wide-screen, film entertainment that most Japanese individuals people film variations — of TV series or math comedian pieces — now lack. The appropriate way forward — for its producers or its globally providers, is to combine (the more engaging) Kyoto Inferno and (the more culturally conscious) The Tale Completes into one, so as to offer Rurouni Kenshin — whether it's Watsuki's source material or Otomo's films — a light and portable, appropriate finishing.

|Written exam (50%) and project (50%). Both items must be evaluated with at least a 5.
|Minimum effort to qualify for 2nd chance exam:
|At least a grade of 4 is needed to qualify.
|Geographic data processing occurs for many reasons in geographic information systems. The acquired data (through LiDAR, satellite images, map digitizing) must be cleaned up and processed into useful representations, the tasks that users want to perform must be done by combining spatial data, and to visualize the results of a geographic analysis, automated cartography techniques are needed. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are elaborate software packages for the input, manipulation, analysis, and presentation of geographic data. With analysis of data we mean the possibilities for combining different thematic data sets or map layers (like population density and political preference), or generating best solutions (for the planning of a new airport), or modelling and computing consequences (for example, of global warming). Geographic Information Systems are use by geographers, politicians, geologists, civil engineers, etc. In this course the emphasis is on representation, algorithms, and cartographic computations. Geographic data processing is also common in vehicle navigation systems, for example to compute shortest routes.

Google's new Android 5.0 Lollipop update release is now confirmed for a number of devices including its stable of Nexus smartphones and tablets, the HTC One M8, and the Moto X. Samsung, the world's largest Android manufacturer, remains silent though we expect the Samsung Galaxy Lollipop update to start rolling out in the weeks ahead. Today, ahead of that release, we look at what we expect from Samsung's Galaxy Android 5.0 release.
While the attention of most Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet users is still on Android 4.4 KitKat and more specifically, Android 4.4.4 KitKat, there's another update that's starting to grab at their eyes and ears. That update is Android 5.0 Lollipop, the update formally known as Android L, and an update that's coming to replace Android 4.4 KitKat in just a few short weeks.
Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be accompanied by two new Nexus devices including a Nexus 9 from HTC and a Nexus 6 from Motorola. Both devices will help usher in a new era for Google and its Android operating system. Google recently confirmed the update for a number of older devices as well including the Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Nexus 5, and Nexus 4. Other Android manufacturers have joined the fun as well and HTC, Motorola and Sony have all confirmed a slew of Lollipop updates for the future.
As expected Samsung remains silent about Android 5.0 Lollipop in the days after its official announcement leaving Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, and other Galaxy smartphone and tablet users in the dark. We've seen a number of unofficial Galaxy Android L release details float to the surface though and those details have helped to paint a very broad picture for Galaxy users.
Today, we want to go a step further and outline what we do not expect from Samsung's Galaxy Lollipop update release. These predictions are based on the current rumors, Samsung's history, our extensive coverage of Samsung's Android update releases, and good ole gut feelings. Here's what we don't expect to happen down the road.
Android 4.4 Updates to Abruptly Stop
Do not expect Samsung to kill off the Android 4.4 KitKat update roll out. The company is currently in the midst of Android 4.4.2 KitKat and Android 4.4.4 KitKat roll outs to select devices and we expect most of those Android 4.4 KitKat roll outs to continue as we build into the fall and the arrival of the Android Lollipop update.
We don't expect Android 4.4 KitKat updates to cease until 2015. They're still going strong and there are a ton of devices that still need to get the upgrade. There's a chance that we could see a few skip over Android 4.4 and head straight to Android 5.0 but at this point, given that we're in the roll outs late stages, we think Samsung is going to go ahead and complete the Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade process for devices like the Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, and others.
In other words, if you're still on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, don't just assume that you're heading straight to Android 5.0 Lollipop. You could get Android 4.4.2 or Android 4.4.4 KitKat between now and then.
Tons of Galaxy Android Lollipop Release Confirmations
Do not expect to see a ton of Android 5.0 Lollipop release confirmations. Samsung itself typically stays very silent up until the roll outs actually begin. Samsung's carrier partners also mostly stay silent. There are some outliers though.
French carrier SFR typically confirms Android updates far in advance. So do Aussie carriers Optus, Vodafone and Telstra. In North America, Rogers can be counted on to deliver Android 5.0 update news well in advance. Other that those carriers though, there are no guarantees. In the U.S. especially carriers love to stay quiet so as not to set expectations for their customers.
Do not expect anything different from this roll out. Most carriers simply don't communicate very well with their customers and that probably won't change until they start losing business or until the Android update process changes. We should see most updates confirmed hours or perhaps a day before their arrival for devices like the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5.
Concise Roll Out
Do not expect the Samsung Galaxy Android 5.0 Lollipop update to take place over several days or several weeks. Samsung's Android updates typically roll out over the course of a year or more. Just have a look at Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (first started rolling out in October 2013, still rolling out) and Android 4.4 KitKat (First started rolling out in January, still rolling out).
We don't expect anything different from Android 5.0. It's almost certainly going to see a long, drawn out release that extends deep into 2015 and probably into 2016 as well. We don't expect owners of newer devices like the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note Edge to have to wait until 2016 but we wouldn't be surprised if lesser devices like the Galaxy S4 mini saw their upgrades roll out late.
Keep in mind, roll outs are also dependent on region and carrier. Carriers in obscure markets will also probably lag as Samsung focuses its efforts on key markets like Korea, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Slow U.S. Galaxy Lollipop Updates
Speaking of the United States, do not expect it to be slow to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Sprint especially has been extremely quick to Android updates but we expect other carriers like AT&T and Verizon to be part of the initial wave of Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The U.S. market and its top five carriers is always at the forefront of updates.
We expect this to extend to smaller regional and pre-paid carriers as well. Smaller carriers like C Spire and Cricket are typically just a few weeks off the pace of the larger U.S. carriers and we should see them roll out their own Android 5.0 updates in the weeks after the major upgrades. They should be out ahead of most regions around the world as well.
Copious Galaxy Android 5.0 Leaks
Do not expect to see tons of Android 5.0 Lollipop leaks ahead of time. We've already seen one huge leak from SamMobile though it did not make the update available to the public. We should see a few Android 5.0 Lollipop leaks ahead of time though we'd be shocked if a substantial number of Android 5.0 updates emerged ahead of their release.
Samsung historically has kept a tight lid on its Android upgrades ahead of their release and in recent years, that lid has tightened and leaked updates have been few and far between. We could see a few for top devices leak, think Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4, but owners of lesser devices like the Galaxy Note 3 should temper expectations going forward.
Galaxy S3 Android Lollipop Update
Again, do not expect there to be a Galaxy S3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update. Samsung did not roll out an official Android 4.4 KitKat update for the international model and only a select few Galaxy S3 LTE models have received Android 4.4.4 KitKat thus far. That doesn't help to instill any confidence in a surprise Android 5.0 release in the future.
The Galaxy S3 is an aging smartphone and it will turn three years old next year. And while it's a widely adopted device, it's clear that Samsung is having problems with Android 4.4 KitKat (a much smaller update than Android 5.0) behind the scenes. We'd be shocked if Samsung decided to bring it up from Android 4.4.
No Android 5.0 Lollipop Problems
Do not expect Android 5.0 Lollipop to fix every single Android 4.4 KitKat problems on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, do not expect Android 5.0 Lollipop to be void of bugs.
Samsung's Android updates almost always come with fixes on board and we think that its set of Android 5.0 upgrades will almost certainly come with an array of bug fixes aimed at stabilizing the company's operating system. That said, Samsung's Galaxy updates almost always come with bugs and problems of their own. Especially large updates like Android 5.0 Lollipop.
So, don't go into the Android 5.0 release thinking it's going to solve all of your problems. It might fix a few things but there's a good chance that it will come with some new problems, problems that Samsung and its partners will need to alleviate with Android 5.0 Lollipop bug fix updates.

On the Grill - Vic Halom chats with Ethan and picks his Sunderland 11
Vic Halom signed for Sunderland in the early months of 1973, he would be a starter in the infamous 1973 FA Cup win for Sunderland against favourites Leeds United. The big centre forward's finish against Manchester City in the same cup run would also be voted as the greatest goal at Roker Park. Halom played his whole career on Wearside under Bob Stokoe as he left in 1976 to join Oldham Athletic. In his time for the Mackems, Vic hit 35 goals in 113 competitive games.
Vic Halom signed for Sunderland in the early months of 1973, he would be a starter in the infamous 1973 FA Cup win for Sunderland against favourites Leeds United. The big centre forward's finish against Manchester City in the same cup run would also be voted as the greatest goal at Roker Park. Halom played his whole career on Wearside under Bob Stokoe as he left in 1976 to join Oldham Athletic. In his time for the Mackems, Vic hit 35 goals in 113 competitive games.
WAW: First of all, talk us through that 1973 FA Cup final – what was it like to play in it and win?
Vic: "It took hard work to win it, we never stopped. We were very, very aware but very confident too; we believed we could beat them. We were not only aware of our quality but aware of Leeds' quality too, after all they were a great side. None of us were nervous, we just enjoyed playing in all honesty."
WAW: The manager who got you to that final was Bob Stokoe, a club legend – what was he like to work with?
Vic: "Bob was a great guy, he had a very quiet approach, we trusted Bob. Bob was a strong believer in hard work, any Stokoe team worked hard – look at Bobby Kerr in that final – in fact we all ran our socks off. He was fantastic in truth, when he arrived Sunderland were third off bottom and we finished 4th from top and FA Cup winners."
WAW: In that team there were some great talents – Billy Hughes for one, someone you were good friends with, what was Billy like?
Vic: "He was top class! Again Billy was one who worked really hard, he was quick, strong and was always there, plus he had so much quality and skill too. Billy scored two in the cup run against a brilliant Manchester City side. We had loads of laughs together for example, if I wanted ITV on he'd press BBC and we'd sit there for about three hours pressing bloody buttons. He was just a great person to be around, a real character! Unfortunately, Billy isn't very well at the moment, he recently had a tumour, as did his wife. I'm going down to see him soon as he lives near Derby and all of the lads have to look out for each other."
WAW: What was your favourite goal for Sunderland?
Vic: "There were a few goals that stand out to be fair! Not just at Sunderland but at schoolboy level too, I didn't score many at first as my debut was as a centre half, Bob Stokoe and I worked at Charlton and he played me a centre half, in midfield and up front! The goal against Manchester City was voted best goal at Roker Park so that's definitely up there, and you cannot take that one off me! I scored a hatrick against Derby in the League Cup and a bicycle kick against Fulham too."
WAW: Why did you choose to come to Sunderland?
Vic: "First of all I didn't even know where Sunderland was! Luton had accepted an offer from Everton and I was going there but Bob Stokoe wanted to replace Billy's brother John Hughes who was injured. I met Bob after the Reading cup tie down Elm Park and we agreed the terms and I signed just hours from the transfer deadline. Roker Park was truly electric, playing in front of 55,000 people every week was outstanding – a special place to play football."
WAW: Who were the best players you played with?
Vic: "A bloke called Mike Bailey at Charlton when I was first starting out, he was tough, strong and very committed; Mike went on and played for Wolves for a few years and even got capped for England. Another lad called Frank Haydock was a great player too, a centre half who again was a quality player. I played with George Cohen, who won the '66 World Cup; I played alongside him at Fulham. I played with Johnny Haines at Fulham too, a real top player – he played about 600 games for them! Of course Billy was a great player too at Sunderland as I mentioned. Dave Watson at Sunderland too, he got called up for England later on; Dave was so good in the air and he had so much ability plus he was quick too."
WAW: Who or what were your inspirations to play football professionally?
Vic: "We never really had heroes back then; we just played football all the time. I'd watch Derby County with my dad at the Baseball Ground but apart from that I played for the school, the district and so on. If I was to pick names it'd have to be some of the West Ham boys from '66, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. When you're first starting out you learn all the time, you didn't earn a lot but you enjoyed playing your football and money came second. I feel very lucky I got the chance to play football professionally."
WAW: Back in the early days at Charlton what was it like?
Vic: "It was nothing like it is now. When I was doing my O levels in Burton, a scout came and told me I was an apprentice at Charlton Athletic and he came and told my headmaster that I would be moving to London; he then kicked him down the stairs! After I had signed properly for Charlton we played reserve team vs the first team; one game I chipped Charlie Wright and put it in the top corner, the sod then started chasing me up the terraces! Eddie Firmani was a great guy too at Athletic his body movement and position were brilliant and he could easily beat defenders."
WAW: What did you go on to do after retiring?
Vic: "I got my full coaching badge in Norway; I went up to Barrow and we had won the league just after Christmas, I was very lucky as I put a team together with some great lads but there just wasn't enough quality. I went to Rochdale which turned out to be a disaster; we were doing great in the league and were favourites for promotion but the owner forced me to sell all my players and we ended up near the bottom and I lost my job, it was a massive mistake. After all that I had a short time at Burton and then moved onto do a few years of scouting abroad."
WAW: Why did you move back to Sunderland when you came back to England?
Vic: "I just loved the people, as well as that Sunderland simply felt like home. My family and my wife all agreed that Sunderland was the place to be."
WAW: If you had to pick a Sunderland 11 of your teammates who would be in it?
Vic: "I wouldn't change a thing to that cup final starting 11. It was a special side Monty was a fabulous goalkeeper, Dick Malone, Ron Guthrie, Mick Horswill, Dave Watson, Richie Pitt, Bobby Kerr, Billy Hughes, myself, Ian Porterfield and then Dennis Tueart. Mick was only 20 or something so that was a massive game for him and he stepped up brilliantly, as did Richie, especially with that tackle early on!"
WAW: What are your opinions on Chris Coleman? (I spoke to Vic almost straight after the 2-0 over Burton)
Vic: "I'm from Burton so I was too frightened to go down but I followed the game! The effort was there at Burton and Chris seems massively confident and he has a good track record. I'm personally quite pleased with the appointment, there were certainly improvements and I'm confident we'll finish mid table. Personally, we need two or three quality players; Coleman needs to make the team a physical side to compete with the likes of Leeds and Wolves, not only this he needs to improve their mental attitudes."
I would like to thank Vic Halom for taking the time out to speak to me about his playing days, it was honestly an absolute pleasure and Vic is a great guy and such a gentleman - as well as a very funny bloke!
Also, I would personally, as would everyone at We Are Wearside, like to wish all the best to Billy Hughes who, as Vic mentioned, is unwell at the moment.
Furthermore, you can hear more from Vic as well as other ex Sunderland players in the latest volume of 'Tales of the Red and Whites' by Lance Hardy, Graeme Anderson, Nick Barnes and Rob Mason (who'll I'll be speaking to shortly about his long and decorated career with Sunderland). It is a truly great book and all credit to all authors and contributors, the link to buy the book on Amazon is below and would make a great Christmas present.

Europe can win the technological race with China and the United States through renewable energy – that's one of the conclusions reached by the report [R] evolution for the European Union Energy, a document prepared by the prestigious Institute of Technical Thermodynamics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), which "shows that 97% of European electricity and 92% of its total energy could come from renewable sources by 2050, with a 95% reduction of CO2 emissions."
The third edition of the classic report [R] evolution for the EU Energy-study commissioned by Greenpeace and the European Renewables Energy Council (EREC) – ensures that "a target of 100% renewable energy and energy efficiency can help the Union (EU) to regain its competitive advantage over China and the United States, without coal or nuclear. " According to Greenpeace, "even taking into account the cost of investment, the European economy on fossil fuels would save an average of 19 billion euros by 2050, while hundreds of thousands of new jobs also boost European economies."
The findings, presented last week in Brussels, are, according to Greenpeace and EREC, that "clean energy can help Europe regain a competitive edge in the international technology race, while reducing the rising costs of fuels, create jobs and reduce CO2 emissions. " The environmental group asked the Spanish government and the Popular Party, which "carefully consider these findings to take them into account in the negotiations on the Pact of State for Energy." For Greenpeace, the pact should set a goal for Spain to provide a 100% renewable energy.
According to the Head of the Climate Change and Energy Campaign for Greenpeace Spain, Jose Luis Garcia Ortega, "move towards 100% renewable in 2050 is not only necessary to save the climate, it is also the smartest thing for the economy for 40 years, renewable seemed a dream, today is a reality within 40 years should be the norm. " At the same time, Ortega said that while coal and nuclear are sidings for innovation ", the sources can provide" new technologies, employment and energy security. "
So, Greenpeace is demanding that the European Commission to study the benefits and feasibility of a future 100% renewable energy within the analysis to be developed on the vision of energy and the economy in 2050. " According to Greenpeace, "when compared with other energy scenarios that have occurred recently in the European Union by 2050, the [R] evolution Energy is ambitious, but is based on assumptions which can provide flexible energy, closer businesses and local communities. "
Both Greenpeace and the EREC considered, and that "a balanced mix and secure energy sources for Europe's energy system makes the [R] evolution Energy program more sustainable and credible for a revolution in the way we produce and use energy. Therefore, and to realize the [R] evolution Energy, "the EU must increase its commitment to combating climate change, stop the massive fossil fuel subsidies and actively support the creation of a strong economy and clean."
