Tips for a great answer:
If you do not want to buy or cannot afford a
full, licensed copy of MS
Publisher 2007 and/or prefer to pursue the downloading option,
consider the latest version of genuine, similar free comprehensive Office Suite
applications - OpenOffice
and LibreOffice-
downloadable free, from their original source, at:
You can use OpenOffice and LibreOffice simultaneously with MS Office 2010 Pro 60-Day Trial. If you delete MS Office 2010 Pro 60-Day Trial, well before the 60 day expiry date, and Remove all components of it from Add or Remove Programs (or its equivalent in your Operating System) and Restart before downloading and installing it again, it is usually possible to enter into further 60 Day trial periods. If you cannot use the Product Key you mention but are determined to continue using a MS Publisher 2007, then you will have to purchase a full, genuine, unused and licensed copy of the software from a reputable, reliable supplier, such as Amazon:
Online offers of Free Downloads of MS Office products are
probably almost universally either not genuine, illegal, unlicensed or pre-used
licence versions, downloadable only from illicit download sites or sites that
are masquerading non-existent MS
products as camouflage for the marketing of other (often unrelated) software,
products or services. Even if you do succeed in finding a Product ID or
download site that seems to work for MS
Publisher 2007, you will still have to purchase a separate,
genuine, unused Activation Code for the product before you can successfully
install it, use it with confidence, register it, activate it and download and
benefit from Updates and Security Patches for it from Microsoft.

Surface Treatments: Anodising and Alochroming
Anodising uses electrolysis to produce a thick hard transparent oxide coating that increases corrosion resistance and protects the surface of the casting. Sulphuric acid and chromic acid anodising are the two most popular techniques.
Sulphuric acid anodising
The most common form of anodising because of the durability and corrosion resistance it offers, sulphuric acid anodising provides an additional anodic film thickness of between 3 to 25 microns.
Chromic acid anodising
Chromic acid anodising produces a much thinner anodic film of between 3 to 7 microns. It therefore does not provide the same levels of wear resistance but is more able to be deformed without losing toughness and provides a good key for painting.
This finishing process involves coating the casting in a chemical solution to form a protective film. Known also as chromating the protective film is not particularly durable and therefore is good for decorative finishes but not for components experiencing significant abrasion.

This early 20th century Russian-made samovar was found in the Republic of Georgia following that small country's independence in 1991 after 70 years as part of the USSR. A maker's seal on the top shows a hammer and sickle under a star, perhaps a reason it was not retained by the original Georgian owners. The stamp includes the letters "BCHX" and "CCCP" as well as a Russian inscription. Another stamp, this one on the foot of the samovar, carries the initials "TK." The brass is coated with a silver-toned material, possibly nickle. Russian-made charcoal-fueled samovars were an integral part of tea drinking tradition throughout the Caucasus region, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Central Asia and as such were synonymous with home, hearth and hospitality. This samovar is among acquisitions made by Silk Road Gallery owners as they explored a little-known branch of the ancient Silk Route that once passed through Tblisi, Georgia's capital. As a country that geographically and historically bridged East and West, and that was closed to the world during its USSR years, Georgia is a repository for such Old World artifacts. Tea service using this samovar was labor-intensive. Charcoal was put into the center chamber and burned to heat water in the surrounding conical vessel. A teapot with a concentrated tea brew was kept hot on the top, a small bit poured into cups or glasses and then mixed with hot water drawn from the samovar. A hinged door on the bottom was used for ash removal. The small bowl included with this samovar was placed under the spout to catch any dripping hot water. The samovar has some pitting in the metal surface (see photo enlargements) but otherwise is in very good condition. Dimensions: height 20" (51 cm), width 14" (36 cm), depth 15" (38 cm). Diameter of the small bowl is 6-1/2" (16 cm).

I came across Vanity Planet from a fellow blogger when I was in need of some skin help a few months ago. She was using this Spin Brush and it was adorable looking... I looked it up and was immediately intrigued. It had raving reviews and was more than half the price of those expensive brushes you find at Sephora and Ulta.
I, must, have it.
So I bought it, no it was not sent to me, I bought it. And I quickly fell in love with it.
It came with 4 different spin heads. A regular facial brush, an exfoliating brush, a body brush and a pumice stone.
Let's see you do all that for this price, Clarisonic... pfft.
Instantly after using this my face felt cleaner and way more refreshed. It's also the greatest way to wake up in the morning.
You can use this with any facial cleanser, scrub, you name it. There are no boundaries and that's how I like it. ;)
Normally this bad boy is $99 but..
Use this promo code: SpinGS24
it makes this kit only $30 at checkout. Again, that's how I like it.... You're welcome.
I'm gonna keep this post short, simple and sweet for you. I just needed to share as I've been using this baby for about 2 months now and have seen an outrageous difference in my skin. I wanted to make sure it was legit before I shared. ;) You know me... always lookin' out for you guys.
Please note: This blog post is not sponsored and I was not asked to write this. This is simply me enjoying a product and sharing my thoughts and feelings with you about it. Feel free to do with it what you please, but I highly recommend picking one up! :)
Happy skin is my kinda skin. I thought you would all agree.

My cousin Nicole delivered Grandpa's Eulogy for his funeral, and did an awesome job. I wanted to share it here for everyone.
For those of you who do not know me, I am Nicole Harrison and I am blessed to be one of Harvey & Myla's 16 grandchildren. On behalf of the family, I would like to thank you for being here today to honor the life of my Grandpa Harvey. Grandpa lived a full life and there are many stories and perspectives to tell. I'm here this morning to give you a Grandchild's view.
It would be impossible to describe Grandpa in one word. To us grandchildren, he was a passionate, respectful, humble, determined, generous, and helpful man. He was also a story-teller, hard worker, cookie taster, lefse-flipper, and had a great sense of humor. And his smile could light up a room.
The one descriptor that cannot go unsaid, though, is Grandpa was a farmer. To Grandpa, farming was more than a means to pay the bills; it was a way of life.
Farming is hard work and long days, and Grandpa always made sure he did whatever needed to be done. He had a strong work ethic and determination that garnered respect and made him the "go to" man for many farmers in the area. He even had a pair of pliers that he would carry around on his hip, always ready and willing to help.
Grandpa's love of farming reflected his love for family. Farming was how he provided for his family, and every early morning and late evening was an expression of that love.
But no matter how busy he was, he always had time for us grandkids. He was always patient with us, and would gladly indulge our curiosity and take us with him as he went around to the fields, never once giving us the impression that we were in his way. I remember summers in South Dakota, riding along in the combine or happily assisting Grandpa with his daily chores (although I do not recall ever having to pick rock in the fields). He cheered us on at football, basketball, and volleyball games. He attended our significant life events, such as baptisms, confirmations, graduations, and weddings. He also shared his hobbies with us, such as assembling puzzles and playing ping pong. Some of my fondest memories of Grandpa are the many Thanksgivings we shared together at Pine Lake Camp in Wisconsin. I remember Grandpa sitting at a table, working on puzzles with my brother and cousins. He would often sit by the fireplace with a smile on his face, watching the family he and Grandma created. Grandpa loved to play and watch family ping pong games, and he was a good sport participating in photo scavenger hunts and playing fierce competitive games of "blow pong" (a Kneeland family invention).
Grandma made sure that Grandpa always knew what was going on in our lives and Grandpa would find a way to let us know how proud he was of us. But it was the smile on his face when surrounded by family that made me realize just how much he cared about his family and how much he loved each one of us.
Grandpa's kindness and generosity extended beyond family and friends. He was respectful to everyone he met, and would always do the right thing without hesitation. I have heard countless stories of the many strangers who were stranded in storms who Grandpa and Grandma welcomed into their home. You may have heard the story where Grandpa woke up to the sound of a car in the driveway. He got up and went outside to investigate, and found a car that was stuck in the snow. In no time at all, Grandpa was on a tractor, pulling it out and sending the driver on his way. The next morning, he found tracks leading to the gas tank, and a broken lock, and then realized that the man he had pulled out of the snow had been in their yard "borrowing" gas. I wonder if that man realized after Grandpa towed him out that he would have given him the gas if he'd just asked. Yet, even after knowing what had happened, it wouldn't stop Grandpa from doing the same thing again in the future. He was just that type of man.
Grandpa was kind. And gentle. And patient. I experienced this first-hand one summer when I spent a month in South Dakota when I was about 14 years old. Grandpa and I had gone into town for lunch one day and when we were preparing to head back to the house, he handed me the keys and told me to drive home. For those of you who grew up on a farm, this may not sound like a big deal. But to a city girl like me, who had never been behind the wheel, I was shocked. And scared. And excited. Grandpa calmly instructed me on the basic driving mechanics and then had me put the key in the ignition. I remember nervously turning it and hearing the engine start up. I half expected Grandpa to say he was just kidding and let me slide over to the passenger seat, but he just gave me a reassuring nod and we were on our way. I think I got the speedometer up to only 30 mph on the highway, but I remember Grandpa sitting next to me with a smile on his face that made it seem like he was enjoying a leisurely scenic drive, instead of being driven by a nervous teenager who was afraid to accelerate. I could sense his confidence in me without him saying a word. I loved that about him. Looking back, I now see that one of the seeds Grandpa planted in me was quiet contentment, and I am proud to have that in common with him.
Grandpa was a farmer in all aspects of his life, and he planted seeds in everyone he encountered. In those of us who are his grandchildren, I see many of Grandpa's attributes displayed within each one of us, including his love of farming in Jens; his strength in Tony; his sense of humor in Kevin; his helpfulness in Jacob; his gentle nature in Kara; his story-telling in Adam; his kindness in Sara; his strong work ethic in Alex; his passion in Abby; his love of family in Nicolette; his patience in Shannon; his determination in Casey; and his respect for others in Craig. As part of his family, those seeds will also grow in Demitra and Lucas, his two youngest grandchildren. The seeds Grandpa has planted in us as his legacy will continue to live on and grow through each of us in the families we create.
Grandpa will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. He was a great man, a "gentleman's gentleman". Anyone who was around Grandpa knew of his generosity, work ethic, humility, and selflessness. Albert Einstein once said, "Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us; our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life." So we're here today to celebrate Grandpa's life and continue his legacy.
Thank you.

This looks easier than the way it was done in the book I bought. I may have to try it this way when I catch up on things. I had cataract surgery and astigmatisms on both eyes which set me back a bit.
Have you tried doing this? I would love to find a tutorial for this blue bag or something similar. Please share a link if you have one! TIA

While surfing the World Wide Web recently, I came across a March 2007 Golf Digest Feature article by golfing great Jack Nicklaus and his "state of the game" thoughts about golf. Although many in the world of bowling may be tiring of the constant golf to bowling comparisons, while reading Nicklaus' commentary I could not help but realize the similarities and challenges the two activities have in common.
Just like the game of bowling has the bowling ball versus the bowling pins versus the bowling lane condition debates, golf has the golf ball versus the golf club versus the golf course debates.
However, the question and debate in my mind is should a sport follow technology and let the activity develop from those new findings or should a sport lead technology so the activity is enhanced and not damaged by those new findings?
Allowing a sport to evolve out of whatever technological advancements come about is a philosophy any five year old kid can administer. Leading and limiting technology so it is by and large beneficial to the sport takes historical perspective of the activity, knowledge the current activity, and extreme foresight of what might become of the activity.
I've been thinking...
Jack Nicklaus; "Removed from the competition, my life is very full. My business has never been more brisk, but I pay attention to the issues in golf. From a greater distance, I look at the game a bit differently and probably more accurately than when I was a competitor. Even though I don't enjoy playing as much, I love the game, and I care about it. I've been thinking on a variety of the topics and issues in today's game."
In bowling we have had strong personalities like Bill Taylor, Len Nicholson, John Davis as well as great players like Brian Voss, Mark Roth, and Marshall Holman who have kept a discriminating eye on bowling throughout the years. These personalities have at times spoken out publicly because they also deeply care about the state of their game.
In the early 1980's during the beginning of the urethane bowling ball days, the entire PBA Tournament Committee had the foresight of what might become when they unanimously voted to prohibit the use of these bowling balls on the PBA Tour. Their decision was overturned by the PBA Executive board, which was of course primarily made up of businessmen.
Like the PBA Tournament Committee, many of the warnings from these men in bowling were never heeded and many of their dire predictions have come true. Much like the game of golf should probably listen more to high level players such as Nicklaus and Palmer, maybe bowling should listen a little more closely to our sports people. After all they have been thinking, studying, and devoting their entire life to the game.
The modern professional game...
Jack Nicklaus; "The best golfers should be better today than the best golfers of yesterday. At the moment, I'm not sure that's the case. I realize I'm an old fuddy-duddy, and that previous generations always say that their game was better. I guess I'd plead guilty—in part. But here's the difference. The game in terms of equipment barely changed for 60 years. Then with the equipment revolution that began with metal club-heads in the '80s and accelerated with dramatic ball technology in the late '90s, the game changed radically.
The best players suddenly found themselves able to hit shots more easily and consistently, as well as pull off shots they never would have tried in the past. It made the game for elite players simpler and easier. As a result, I don't care as much for today's game as I did for the one played for most of my career. I like the old game of moving the ball both ways and using strategy with angles, and hitting all the clubs in the bag."
How true the time-lines and thoughts Nicklaus states about golf are the same in bowling. The bowling ball was also essentially the same for almost 60 years! The equipment revolution started in the early 70's with the advent of the soaker which launched the introduction of soft polyester and soft rubber bowling balls into the mix.
It was accelerated in 1980 with the introduction of the AMF Angle and urethane cover bowling balls. In 1991 the equipment revolution was shot to the moon with the advent of Reactive Resin™ additives into those urethane shells. Soon after came the widespread introduction of high differential cores creating this new phenomenon called track flare.
A few years later came the addition of particles added into the shell of the bowling ball which acted like metal spikes in motorcycle tires used in ice racing. The game of bowling changed radically.
Are the best bowlers today better than their predecessors? I am not so sure on a whole they are better, although they should be. With these new high tech balls, players suddenly found themselves able to throw shots with consistent and great amounts of back-end hook not even the most talented bowlers were able to do before.
Power players began to find they were always able to hook the ball which eliminated the need for finesse. Lower revolution players suddenly had the power of the great Mark Roth with these new type bowling balls. The pocket became wider and pins began toppling over on pocket hits that would have not had any chance to strike before the advent of this new type bowling ball.
Like Nicklaus, bowling players like Brian Voss and Marshal Holman also state they do not care as much for today's bowling game. Many would be surprised at the length of the "off the record" list that feel the same. The game they grew up with, learned to love and played during most of their careers required much more finesse and physical manipulation of the bowling ball. For them using different hand positions, ball speed changes, and leverage variations to combat the bowling variables was much more rewarding.
Today, a player's first choice of adjustment is trying a different bowling ball which more often than not, works better than using a different physical attribute.
Before bowling's equipment revolution, PBA Hall of Famer and long time PBA ball driller Larry Lichstein said that then "it was easy to see who the great players were since everyone was basically using the same type ball."
Jack Nicklaus; "My greatest concern, because I believe it has the most effect on the most parts of the game, is the golf ball. I'd very much like to see the U.S. Golf Association and the R&A institute at least a 10-percent rollback in the distance the golf ball travels. I know the ruling bodies are looking at limits on equipment, including possibly reducing the size of driver club-heads and eliminating square grooves, but that's treating an effect more than a cause. The desired results from such moves could be taken care of by a rollback in the ball. In fact, there would be much less need to limit equipment innovations that help amateurs play if the ball were rolled back."
Just like Nicklaus believes the golf ball has the greatest effect on most parts of the golf game, many in bowling feel the same about the bowling ball. The bowling ball hits the pins, rolls across the lane surface, and rolls across the oil pattern. We know the ruling bodies of bowling are looking into such things like lane conditions and have instituted Sport Bowling along with the PBA Experience league option. They are also looking at the pins, the kickbacks, the oils, the cleaners, and the lane surfaces.
Many however feel those are just treating an effect more than the cause and the desired results could also be taken care of by further restricting the bowling ball. The rollback comparison in bowling balls would be eliminating track flare (minimizing Differential Rg) and eliminating porous and particle coverstock bowling balls.
In fact, if the bowling ball was not so absorbent, internally dynamic, or responsive to minute differences in friction, there would be much less need to limit oil patterns or pins.
Jack Nicklaus; "I don't think a rollback should restrict an elite player's options in customizing the golf ball he or she would play. It's OK with me for, say, a player with a low ball flight to get some help by using a model of ball with a dimple pattern that creates a higher launch, or a guy whose angle into the ball generates an excess of spin getting a ball that spins less. In other words, I wouldn't want to see every player having to use the same exact "tournament ball" picked out of a jar on the first tee. As long as players could keep the ball characteristics that best suit their games, I honestly believe it would take them only a few rounds to completely adjust to a rolled-back ball that doesn't fly quite as far."
This simply applies to bowling balls as well. A rollback bowling ball specification does not need to be one for all. A specification that makes it easier for the ball to spin a little sooner or later (low Rg versus high Rg) and a coverstock specification that allows slight surface adjustments without excessively changing an oil pattern so fast could easily give different styles of play options while keeping the equipment everyone uses similar.
Jack Nicklaus; "Although my main problem with the modern golf ball is what it's doing to the game at the highest level of competition, I still don't believe in instituting two sets of equipment rules: one for the elite player, and another for everyone else. From a practical perspective, such a structure would be very difficult to administrate. Perhaps more important, the notion that the rules are the same no matter what the skill level is as old as golf. It might be an illusion—the difference between the equipment pros use and what's best for amateurs is increasing all the time—but it would be dangerous to tinker with such a fundamental tradition."
Employing one set of equipment specifications has been a fundamental part of the game of golf's mandate. Bowling however has tinkered with different specifications for different levels of play for many years.
The USBC has a hardness rule of 72 on the durometer scale while the PBA for many years had a hardness rule of 75. The PBA now follows the USBC 72 hardness rule. Interesting to note is that all bowling balls the manufactures made with regard to hardness followed the PBA specification.
Another difference between the PBA and the USBC for many years was the extra hole specification. While the USBC has a maximum diameter size of 1 1/4", the PBA for many years followed an unlimited extra hole size. Like the hardness rule, the PBA now follows the extra hole rule of the USBC.
Before adopting the USBC specifications, it does make one wonder why the PBA would have a tighter tolerance in hardness but have a looser tolerance in the extra hole specification.
Although I would personally prefer more similarity in the game of bowling from the recreational player to the elite player, bowling has already tinkered with such specification differences. Having different specifications for different levels of play (sport versus recreation) might be considered, but I only envision one bowling entity capable of doing this and that is the PBA.
Jack Nicklaus; "I have faith in the USGA and the R&A to get this thing right, but they need some prodding. A generation has gotten away from them already."
Not much to be added here towards the USBC other than, isn't that the truth! The USBC is bowling's only accredited and recognized testing facility so whatever specifications they decide, the other worldly organizations and federations will follow.
As far as generations getting away from bowling, one only has to look at the many high level bowling events throughout the world, and especially in the USA. The overall age of the participants is astoundingly high.
Jack Nicklaus; "What's ironic is that nobody benefited more from the technology revolution than I did. I continued to play credible golf well into my 50s in large part because advancements in the ball and high-tech drivers allowed me to keep my distance. That wouldn't have happened in the era of persimmon heads, heavy steel shafts and soft balata covers—I would have lost so much distance off the tee that I would have stopped playing much sooner.
Even today, when I barely play, I realize that the challenge of hitting the ball solid and straight—especially with a driver—is not what it was. I can go weeks and even months without hitting a ball—that's often the case—and then after a few driver shots on the range, I'm hitting the ball fairly straight and far. I'll play and might not miss many fairways. If I'd had that kind of a layoff 20 years ago, it would have taken me a month to get my golf game back."
While I am far from a Jack Nicklaus or Earl Anthony caliber, last month I played 4 games with a group of friends after not bowling for almost a year. Using a Hammer Pearl Big Blue, I averaged over 250 with no practice balls. It was sick. When I was playing a lot and sharp I could release it many different ways to combat the playing field variables. Because of not playing and being as dull as a butter knife, I still release it many different ways, albeit not on purpose. The sad part is today when I hit the pocket using these high tech balls, it has a good chance of striking.
Jack Nicklaus; "So why do I think this is bad for the professional or competitive game? Because modern players don't have to develop the skills they used to and are not as well-rounded as they should be."
This one really only needs a "yea what he said!"
Jack Nicklaus; "But from what I see, the pro game has switched to where it's about 80 percent power and 20 percent shot making. This is not an assault on the modern player. They're playing the cards they were dealt, just like every generation before them. These guys are talented, and they work hard. They're doing what works best with the equipment they've been given. But they don't bend the ball very much because the modern golf ball is harder to curve and much easier to hit straight. They don't have as many shots from the rough because square grooves allow them much more control from bad lies. They hit driver much harder because the ball goes so much straighter and because they're not as worried about the rough, especially with a short iron or wedge in hand. Long-iron approach play has become almost a thing of the past."
Just replace "the modern golf ball is harder to curve and much easier to hit straight" with "the modern bowling ball is easier to curve and much harder to throw straight." I guess that's why most players of today need another relatively new term in bowling, a spare ball.
Golf course design… (Oil pattern design…)
Jack Nicklaus; "We have about 16,000 courses in the United States. Almost all of them are obsolete for tournament play. For them to become relevant, we need to roll back the ball about 40 yards. That or rebuild all the fairway bunkers at 300 yards. Which is what we're doing, and it costs a fortune.
Instead of changing equipment, we're changing golf courses. It's great for my business. I'm making a living redoing my old courses. But the game should be able to go back to the classic courses just as they are. Why should we be changing all those golf courses? It's ridiculous."
This one is for the lanemen of the world. To quote a saying from John Davis and Len Nicholson, "You don't need to be a laneman to know there are problems; you just need to be a laneman to know how big the problems are."
Luckily for bowling we don't have to retool the lanes all over the world, but just like most house patterns being used today, those oil patterns are now obsolete for tournament play. They once were not that much different. The patterns the PBA Tour and World Championships were very similar, or even the same, as what the weekly league bowler played on.
Much like the USBC Sport Bowling and the PBA Experience league idea, we're changing the course too much instead of changing the equipment.
For house patterns to become relevant again, the ball must not react to a minimal amount of oil as it does today. Three units of oil on the lane is no match for the balls of today.
We could change the specification to ten units, until another breakthrough in ball technology makes that specification irrelevant. Then we could change it to seventeen units, until another technological breakthrough makes that specification irrelevant. I just wonder how long the "dog must keep chasing it's tail."
Of course for companies that make and sell the chemicals that condition the lanes, the equipment revolution is great for their business. Stronger balls equal more oil needed on the lane, more oil equals more change in the condition, and more change equals more conditioning's for any competition or bowling center.
For the competitive bowler however playing on non-blocked lane conditions, equipment becomes much more of a factor in their success or failure. This is the reason during my tenure as PBA Player Services Director we drilled an average of 6,700 bowling balls per year.
This equipment factor will prove to be the biggest challenge for the PBA Experience league idea. Like the saying of today goes, "you can't out bowl bad ball reaction", so you either drill, or go home.
Of course for companies that make bowling balls, this is good for their business. Sport bowling players need a large arsenal to ensure competitiveness.
Jack Nicklaus; "Trying to build great courses today is more complicated than ever. I've decided it's best to basically design for the enjoyment of the average golfer. That's what works best for the owners, who are selling memberships and selling their land. I was once accused of designing courses that were too severe. A lot of that was because I was designing a lot of tournament courses. Creating a true challenge for the best professional players for one week of golf makes it too tough for the average player who is going to play it the rest of the year."
Because of the highly responsive nature of today's bowling balls, trying to build competitive oil patterns today is also more complicated than ever. This is the main reason proprietors all over the world began blocking their lanes for their weekly recreational customers in the first place.
By creating a definite oil line in the pattern, not only does this allow the weekly customers to stand in a consistent spot (the big dot) and allow them to play to the same area from week to week (the second arrow), it also does not require them to have the perfect ball setup to enjoy the game.
The issue to me has never been the blocked lanes on the league level. Those participants have worked all day at their job and the last thing most want to do is work hard again during their recreation time. The issue is bowling's sanctioning body recognizes scoring achievements in this environment and rewards those high scores with gifts. This in turn legitimizes those playing conditions.
The health of the game ...
Jack Nicklaus; "I hope we're not running people out of the game. As it has become an easier game to play for the pros, the trend toward more severe courses has made it harder for the amateur. In most cases, the farther the amateur is able to hit the ball, the farther the ball goes off line. The old average drive was in the 190-yard range, but now it's more like 210 to 220. And on many of the newer courses, off line means searching for golf balls. It's making the game slower, and a lot less fun."
Nicklaus' observations of how the modern high tech golf equipment helps the golf professional much more than the amateur might be viewed as a slight contradiction for bowling. While the modern equipment does help the bowling professional greatly, it could be argued it helps the recreational player much more, at least on conditions that greatly guide the ball into the pocket.
Even Jeff Sluman, who is the best bowler on the PGA Tour and a standout youth bowling player, states "high-tech advancements have helped the average bowler a lot more than the average golfer."
While I do think the PBA Experience idea is a good idea on the surface, I hope we are not running participants out of the game as well. It is quite clear that USBC's Sport Bowling phase one was not a success. In fact, I predicted in its past 2:1 ratio structure it would become a failure. When the PBA Tour announced they were going to use the standard in 2001, I warned the PBA leaders as well to no avail. Sport Bowling 2:1 ratio parameters lasted three weeks on the PBA tour.
This is however where Nicklaus' course comparison comes back full circle to bowling. From observing countless events all over the world, as oil patterns get flatter, the less skilled actually score worse with today's high tech balls than they would with balanced balls. Because of the highly responsive nature of today's bowling balls, mistakes are magnified and spare leaves become more difficult, which make the less skilled bowler become confused and dejected.
The Steve Miller quote that always stuck in my mind was "the game of bowling must be understandable and palatable to the consumer." The consumer here is not just the spectator, it's also the participant.
While in time the PBA Experience and USBC Sport Bowling might become understandable to the consumer, they must also become palatable to be a success.
Jack Nicklaus; "The game is more popular than ever among avid golfers with the income and leisure to play a lot, but most people have less free time than ever. The current generation of younger parents spends a lot more time supervising their kids than previous generations, and it means they find it harder to justify a weekend round of golf. Leaving for the course at 7 in the morning and coming back at 3 in the afternoon is a hard sell for a family man. But getting back in time for lunch wouldn't be.
That's why we should consider the possibility of making 12 holes a standard round. It might mean breaking up 18-hole facilities into three segments of six holes. Of course it would meet resistance, but eventually it would be accepted because it would make sense in people's lives."
Can we make a comparison to Nicklaus' observations about leisure time and his proposes 12-hole round to 12-week leagues? You bet we can! Organized league play seasons have been way too long for most for a very long time.
While short term leagues and some outside of the box organized play may take more efforts by the bowling proprietors, it is something that must be done to preserve and rejuvenate the league aspect of bowling.
Jack Nicklaus; "Those who say that my comments are intended to help my course-design business are wrong. As a designer, I benefit financially from more land used, more renovations and more penal features. As for people thinking I favor a rollback in equipment because I don't want Tiger to break my record, going back to older-style equipment would help, not hurt, Tiger because his skill level would make a bigger difference. If we took equipment back today, he might win 30 majors instead of 20. I'm more interested in the game of golf than in my records. I did what I could do in my time, and it was the best I could do. Now I just want what's best for the game."
Like many of the aforementioned people in this article, they are past their prime in earnings, titles, and accolades. Now they just want what is best for the game.
Golf and bowling; our activities are closer than you may want to believe...or want to admit.

Project information
Green Build Cornwall Foundation
C.S.B.T wants to build Cornwall's exemplar Green Build Foundation and to work with all parties in Cornwall, who are in the business of providing sustainable and replicable solutions, to demonstrate how we can effectively adapt our buildings and lifestyles to climatic changes and resource depletion.
January 2012 - January 2013
Charity information: Cornwall Sustainable Building Trust
Despite huge local expertise, there is nowhere in Cornwall where the Green Build suppliers can engage the public with this knowledge. There is still widespread ignorance of the urgent need to adapt both our existing and new buildings to reduce their effect on the climate and dwindling finite resources. It has been difficult to reach the general public and to get them to understand that we all have to change our wasteful lifestyles and that making these changes is a life enhancing process.
Green Build Cornwall Foundation will be located at The Eden Project and will bring together green build specialists from the charity, commercial and academic spheres. It will demonstrate tangibly what can and is being done in Cornwall. It will be designed and built as a cutting edge sustainable building exercise. It will be University monitored and used for training, awareness raising and sharing of best practice. All collaborators will be able to use the facility to engage with the public
Aim 1
To build an exemplar sustainable centre to interface between Green Build suppliers and the public.
Activities» Publicise proposal and design. Rally support from potential collaborators in launch event & raise awareness of need to donate in December
» Locate strategic site, get owners to agree collaborative terms, preferably a gift; Prepare design brief & get materials donations agreed & donated
» Submit planning application, agree training integration, Get Project management plan, get contractors signed up, site preliminaries.
» Complete centre build & incorporate training, install monitoring and recording of whole process. Use media to generate interest in completed Centre
What success will look like
Success will be.demonstrated by the completed build project
Aim 2
Use building process and result to implement CSBT Charter 2020 to share learning and best practice.
Activities» By integrating training and recording of best practice during the build process
» Film and record building process including challenges and how they are overcome
» By engaging all collaborators to utilise and publicise their involvement in the building and to participate in a Green Building Foundation demo event.
» By involving the sustainable construction curriculum development manager in the process and capturing the learning in the developing new curriculum
What success will look like
Success will be shown by the collaborative partnership developed to build the centre all having implemented the CSBT Charter 2020 to share best practice and learning. (see Charter)
Aim 3
To increase understanding and awareness of sustainable construction methods
Activities» U tube and media publicity of the project from inception to completion. regular e newsletters, web posted reports and local press and media cover
» Develop curriculum and training courses for both the industry and general public based on knowledge and learning acquired and organise conducted tours
» Open book recording process including mistakes and costings, in order to demystify & remove fear of methods; integrated training and site monitoring.
What success will look like
Success will be measured by the level of interest in the project demonstrated by training participation, web hits, curriculum development and attendance at open days and events.
Aim 4
Establish academic partners to monitor and report on post occupancy efficiency and lessons learned.
Activities» Combined Universities in Cornwall graduate energy dissertation projects and benign material monitoring R & D with Bath University on innovations.
» Allow graduate research into social effects of Foundation on behaviour and lifestyle changes. Post Graduate researcher from Plymouth University.
» Seek to engage Pan-European partners to share and compare climatically adapted buildings. Links with other climatic regions and exemplar buildings.
What success will look like
Success will be seen in academic reports generated and disseminated.
Long term changes will be shown by the main-streaming of sustainable construction from the exception to the Norm. The curriculum will be adapted to the needs of the 21st Century and it will have been demonstrated that training can be implemented on site, whilst innovation is happening. The latest developments will provide a shop window where the public can easily relate green techniques to their own lives and houses. CSBT will have a learning base that partners and public can share and utilise.
Risks are many and rewards are high. we may not get a site donated, so we are appealing to a number of landowners, who could all benefit from the project.
We need our collaborators to really help us with free supplies of time, materials, labour etc. We believe we are a catalytic and doing organisation where all associates will gain significantly from joint success.
Insufficient donations in December to match our summer pledges. We plan an autumn publicity event to inspire and engage supporter
By e-newsletters and web based updates. We will also be making videos of progress for U-tube and we will be providing regular, at least monthly, media updates. We will monitor progress and organise guided site visits during the build & we will set up a donors e-reporting system.

It will be located strategically in Mid-Cornwall at the Eden Project, on land in the China Clay area. It will serve the whole of Cornwall with a resident population in excess of 500,000. Cornwall and particularly Mid Cornwall is still classed as a post industrial deprived area. The main employer in the area has been china clay extraction, now declining. It is the location of the first proposed Poly-centric Eco-town developments. This centre will be to inform and inspire the whole community.
The whole population of Cornwall and potentially beyond by having a physical exemplar centre of Green Building Excellence, that they can learn from and apply to their own properties. Local people, both recently redundant and new workers will be able to gain new skills which can be taken forward to contribute to the Eco-town, the Beach and other forthcoming developments. Wider academia and the sustainable construction curriculum will benefit from schools to H.E. + the entire Construction Sector

This little star is part of a little project whose fate is yet to be determined. I will be sure to update on that however, when I know what will become of it. And then I have this funny little project for a friend in the works. Just some prescription drugs all stitched up, that's all. And yes, the little buttons are supposed to be pills.
There is text included but I don't think I will share due to it's overt reference to recreational use of prescription medication. The only reason I can make jokes about this not-so-funny subject with this particular friend is because we have been through a LOT together and our shared humor has grown darker over the years. Personally I find that to be one of the most delightful side effects of long-term friendships. But, it doesn't always make for good blog-fodder.

U16's Lost 1 - 2
After two narrow and frustrating losses, the team went into their third game in 7 days with high hopes and expectations. Saints faced Fraser Park who themselves were looking for a much needed win.
Having shown character and determination as in previous weeks games Saints started the game the more positive attacking early with a number of raids and eventually being rewarded with a goal after a great strike by Shaqil (The Shaq Attack) following a flowing back line move. The game progressed into a tussle between the teams with some fiery exchanges seen in the midfield. Eventually fatigue and frustration resulted in a St.George own goal midway through the first half followed by another Fraser Park goal resulting from a corner.
Heading into half time down 1-2, Saints come out in the second half again attempting to play their attacking brand only to be denied by Fraser's goalkeeper.
A Fraser Park counter which resulted in a questionable penalty against us, arguably offered the game's highlight with Saints goalkeeper Joey again showing off his 'Panther' like reflexes and instincts saving the penalty and keeping Saints in the game.
Following numerous attempts on the opposition goal and with the Saints injury toll rapidly rising, the game ended up in an arm wrestle between the teams with the final score 1-2 in favor of Fraser Park.
U18's Won 3-1
U20's Won 2-1

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held in Peldon Church 7.30pm on Tuesday 14th March 2017.
Present: Robert Kean, Liz Davidson, Jinny Gale, Phil Gladwin, Lynne Simmons, Nicky Ellis, Netty Knill-Jones, Robert Davidson, Kevin Bentley and 3 members of the public.
Apologies for absence: Bob Holmes, John Walker, Andrew Ellis, Zone Warden
Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman
Zone Warden Report: Thanks were expressed to our Zone Wardens for the successful litter pick in Peldon and also for the removal of some bags that had been dumped on the roadside. Dog fouling is an ongoing concern and the parish councillors have the authority to take photographic evidence to pass on for submitting for prosecutions.
Borough Councillor Report: Locality Budget funds have been allocated for chairs for the new hall at Peldon. The parish council will take care of the money until required and will purchase the chairs for vat return which is in order. Some bags of tree tubes left on Pete Tye Common following removal by the Community Services will be taken away for us. Everyone will have had or soon to have their council tax bill along with instructions about refuse collections including that garden bags will be free but black bags will have to be bought and only3 per household will be collected fortnightly. This change is intended to encourage more recycling as we are badly falling behind on this in the Colchester area.
County Councillor Report: The parish council is pleased to see the new VAS sign installed in Mersea Road, Peldon and thanks were given to Kevin for all his hard work in achieving this which has taken much time and effort. The broken drain cover at the Salcott crossroads has been reported for attention. The A12 improvements consultation is still open for opinions, A120 is now closed. The Public Road Safety team will be asked to look into and consider a speed limit for the length of the road from Great Wigborough to Peldon for which we will probably receive an answer by May.
Public-Have Your Say: The parish council was asked to support an appeal for a development in Lodge Lane, Peldon that was refused. The parish council supported this application in the first instance so is happy to send a letter to the Appeal Inspectorate accordingly. Thanks were given to litter pickers in Peldon and for the improvements of Footpath 13 (Church Road to St Ives Road). Dog fouling is a problem in Lodge Lane particularly with bags being hung on hedges, posts etc. The parish council would like to request that these bags are either put in the appropriate bins or taken home.
Declarations of Interest: Liz Davidson for planning application no.170502.
Planning applications:
|Proposal: Day nursery care ages 0-5, located on designated rural employment area. Existing agricultural buildings demolished for proposed development to comply with Ofsted Specification at land adjacent Games Farmhouse, Lower Road, Peldon – the Parish Council discussed this application and will submit its supporting reply to CBC Planning.

Colchester Borough Council is about to commence a consultation on its current waste and recycling service. Borough residents are being asked for their views to help Colchester Borough Council consider how best to reduce waste and increase recycling in the coming years.
All residents are invited to give their views through the online survey at www.colchester.gov.uk/recyclingsurvey between Monday 7 March and 5pm Friday 3 June 2016.
Help to complete the survey is available at free Online Skills events across the borough listed at www.colchester.gov.uk/go-online . Residents with accessibility needs can request assistance from a Customer Advisor at the Community Hub in the town centre.
From 7 March to 29 March and Monday 9 May to Friday 3 June selected homes across the borough with kerbside or communal bin collections will also be visited. Face to face feedback on recycling and waste collections will be gathered from around 1,000 residents.
Home visits will take place borough-wide between 9am and 8pm, Monday to Saturday to households representative of Colchester's demographic mix.
All survey responses will be used to help the Council understand what residents think including: satisfaction with the type and number of containers used for home storage and collection of waste and recycling; frequency of collections; and ideas for improvement that would help residents send less waste to landfill and recycle more. Household characteristics, including number of residents at the property and availability of outdoor and container storage areas, will also be gathered.
The consultation is part of a full review of the Council's waste and recycling service including considering different collection methods and best practice nationally.
Voting is now open for "Colchester's Big Choice", vote for Peldon Village Hall!
The project to rebuild Peldon Village Hall is one of 12 shortlisted projects that are competing for a share of £200,000 of funding being provided by Colchester Borough Council for community projects in the Borough under its 'Big Choice' scheme. Local residents will decide who the winning projects are by voting for their favourites. Voting will be open between Monday 22 February and Friday 4 March, and the winning projects will be announced the following week.
We have pitched for £50,000 of the 'Big Choice' funding and, if we are successful, we should then have enough to allow us to start work. But whether or not we'll succeed depends on how many people vote for our project.
The current hall in Peldon was built in the 1960's and is a timber-framed, flat roofed building that is gradually deteriorating, despite our best efforts to maintain it. It's well used by a variety of community groups and private hirers, attracting not just Peldon residents, but people from the surrounding villages and from Mersea. We recognised a few years ago that it needed replacing, not just to allow the current uses to continue, but also to provide the opportunity for new activities which we know that community would welcome. So we've drawn up plans for a new, larger building that will be at the heart of our community for the next 100 years.
There are two ways you can vote for us, online or in person. You can go on-line to the Council's website www.colchester.gov.uk/bigchoice and follow the link there. Alternatively, you can visit Colchester library where voting forms will be available. If neither of these methods is convenient, please call Bob Holmes on 01206 735510 and we'll help you to cast your vote.
Voting is open to anyone who is a resident in the area covered by Colchester Borough Council, whatever their age (including children) and you do not have to be on the electoral register. You will need to confirm your name, address and/or postcode when you vote.

So glad I got that Blue post out of my system. Sometimes you have to acknowledge what's bothering you so that you can move on. Since writing it I've been able to pick up more of my knitting and even cast on for a new project.
I've wanted find the right project to review the Knitter's Pride Bamboo Interchangeable Knitting Needles, but didn't have the right kind of yarn for the needle size I had (I only had one from the knitters pride comby set). It was a size four needle and I wanted to knit something with a soft MCN, preferably from Madeline Tosh or Plucky Knitter. Thankfully my friend came through and gave me a beautiful green skein of Plucky in a beautifuly springy shade of green. The color alone is enough to renew my faith in the world.
Then there was the problem of finding the right pattern. I didn't feel like knitting yet another shawl. I already have the textured shawl, which is in laceweight and judging from how long it takes me to knit a single row on it right now that sucker might not be bound off until 2015. How many things can you knit with a single skein of MCN? Not so many, but I think I found the right pattern to try. I'm not going to name it here because I like a little mystery, but you're more than welcome to click on this to find out. (please not that this is for a friend definitely not for me).
The skein has been wound into a ball, the needles connected to a cable and it's official: I've cast on a new project. It's kind of what I've needed all along. Tackling something new has some sort of strange effect on me; it gives me hope. Better times ahead.
So here's my progress for the year!
- Textured Shawl (60% done)
- Poang chair cover (5% done)
- Chris Socks (50% done)
- Older Boy Cardigan
- Younger Boy Cardigan
- That Knitted Cuff Thing
- Dahlia Cardigan (60% done)
