Broadcast does not under FreeBSD
We need to write a Python app that uses limited broadcast to send messages in our closed network. However, we've discovered that although our code works fine under Linux it does not work under FreeBSD. This problem appears to be described in this article:
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Li.../msg00067.html Is this problem still not resolved in FreeBSD 7.0? We essential that we find a way to send/receive broadcasts under FreeBSD, preferably in Python. Surely there must be a way to do this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

NAACP, Left-Leaning Media Groups Form Tea Party Tracking Site
Published September 02, 2010 | FoxNews.com
A new website sponsored by the NAACP and left-leaning media operations is seeking videographers and bloggers who will search out "racism" and "extremism" among Tea Partiers.
Teapartytracker.org will feature tweets, interviews with people at rallies, blog entries and a picture of a t-shirt they say someone spotted at a rally that reads "Blacks own slaves in Mauitania, Sudan, Niger & Haiti."
The site, sponsored by the NAACP, Think Progress, New Left Media and Media Matters for America, will monitor "racism and other forms of extremism within the Tea Party movement. We call on the Tea Party to repudiate extremists among their ranks and join in civil dialogue with all Americans."
The sites success will likely be measured in the "gotcha" moments it can accumulate that aim to embarrass or undermine the Tea Party movement. The submissions will most often come from citizen journalists, who have grown in form and fashion since Sen. George Allen of Virginia was ousted from his Senate seat in 1996 after his "macaca" moment
Macaca is a word that does not even appear in the definitive 22 volume Oxford English Dictionary.Klaatu barada nikto
I think there should be (if there is not already one) a site that monitors and exposes the racism of the NAACP.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
If instances of racism cannot be found at TEA parties, they will be created.

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Are you listening Barry)?:mad:
Ayn Rand
They've already tried. Remember the liberal plants at the 9/12 rallies? They were exposed. But here's the deal, there's always going to be knuckleheads no matter what. Say if these idiots find one knucklehead at a rally. They will try to paint the 1 knucklehead as representative of the entire movement. This is what they do. But, as I said, they've tried this and failed miserably. Remember the guy with the gun at an Obama speech who turned out to be black? They failed at that. Because you can bet your ass that the Tea Parties will be able to sniff these people out easily and track them. But what I find funny is this statement:
We call on the Tea Party to repudiate extremists among their ranks and join in civil dialogue with all Americans." …Deplorably Proud To Be An American

Human trafficking and the effectiveness of asylum policies
We investigate the effects of restrictive asylum policies on the number and group composition of asylum seekers. We model the choices of refugees and traffickers about whether to migrate and to apply for asylum. Counter-intuitively, restrictive asylum policies do not lead to a reduction in the inflow of refugees or to a better selection of asylum seekers. Instead, we show that under conditions outside the control of policy makers these policies can increase the number of asylum claims and the number of refugees working in slave-like conditions and prevent some of those most in need of protection from accessing it.

Kenya's ol Donyo Lodge Accredited as a Relais & Châteaux Member
NAIROBI, Kenya—Bush and Beyond, specialists in East African safaris, is announcing that one of their premier properties, ol Donyo Lodge in Kenya, was the first property in Kenya ever to be accredited as Relais & Châteaux member. The acceptance into this prestigious association was announced at a spectacular ceremony in Italy this week.
This Relais & Châteaux membership highlights the quality and mutual ethos of the lodge. The Relais & Châteaux 5C's ethos of Calm, Charm, Character, Courtesy and Cuisine personifies the experiences at ol Donyo Lodge. In addition, this Bush and Beyond property adds a further two C's into the mix in the form of their underlying Conservation and Community ethics.
The epitome of working with communities to their benefit from conservation tourism is ol Donyo Lodge.
Ol Donyo Lodge has 7 cottages, 5 that have their own swimming pools, that are located on the slopes of the Chyulu Hills in 275,000 acres of Maasai-owned land in southern Kenya.
This is quintessential Africa with Mount Kilimanjaro as an ever-present backdrop, wildlife-studded plains and acacia forests below offering the opportunity for numerous low-impact activities including day and night game drives, horseback safaris, mountain biking and guided walking safaris.
Guests at ol Donyo Lodge can also meet with authentic Maasai villagers, or spend the day in an open air hide watching some of the world's largest tusker elephants up close, or sleep under the stars from their rooftop star-bed waking to see Kilimanjaro illuminated at dawn.

Rod Review- LL Bean 9 piece 9' 9wt.
Yes, that's right, 9 piece. I haven't actually measured it, but the case can't be much more than a foot long.
I brought this rod with me to Eleuthera last week(report soon to come). Despite not being able to carry the rod on with me, the extremely small pack size of this rod turned out to be a huge advantage. I found that I could fit the rod inside my fishing hip pack with my reel and flybox, allowing me to bring the rod pretty much everywhere hassle free. Since I was with my wife, I wasn't doing much hard fishing, but it was nice to be able to bring my bag with me 'just in case'. I didn't end up catching any of those 'just in case' fish, but I did get some good shots at bones that I would've had to observe from afar if it weren't for the convenience of the pack rod. My main concern with a 9 piece was setup time and lining up all the sections. Lining up all the ferrules was a snap due to a line on the male end that lines up with a dot on the female end and allows you to put the rod together without holding it up and squinting 8 times. Setup time could be a bit frustrating, especially with feeding bones in sight, but I found that turning my back and taking a deep breath usually made it tolerable- That and reminding myself that if it'd been a 2 piece I probably would've left it in the hotel room for all but the fishing outings. I was a little worried about the rod being a bit 'loose' due to all the ferrules, but I was pleasantly surprised- I couldn't even tell they were there. The rod casts very well, and I'd say the 'medium-fast' designation they give it in the catalog is spot on. The sighting conditions weren't really ideal, so I didn't do much long distance casting, but I was able to punch out a couple of 70-ish foot casts at a big 'cuda without much problem(follow, but no take ). Overall, I think this is a great rod, and at $245 for the 9 weight, it's a steal. Last edited by Mattb; 04-11-2003 at 04:11 PM. |

Friends ask me what's the best camera? Should they get a Haselblad or a Nikon? and I always tell them that the best camera is the one that you don't leave at home. An idiot camera with a great lense will take better pictures than the Haselblad that stays at home.
Fits in a fanny pack...wow.
One cast can change your day...maybe your life. |

Been playing the much anticipated Destiny for three solid days now and to put it simply, this game doesn't live up to the hype. Perhaps I'm partially at fault for having had a different set of expectations from what was actually delivered. Admittedly I didn't do a lot of research into the game in the months leading up to its release as I've been too busy playing my other games. I just watched the commercials, glanced at the great eye candy in magazines and noted the quick little box score reviews. Everything looked positive from that perspective. What I expected was this epic mind bending adventure spanning from one end of the galaxy to the other. Exploring mysterious fortifications, perhaps even doing a little puzzle solving (I didn't know, it was just in my head that I might get to do that). I looked forward to teaming up with other players to strategically take down hordes of invading aliens.... But none of that is actually happening. At least not in the "Epic" fashion that I felt was portrayed by all the hype leading up to the release. Instead what I have found is just a simple, quite simple actually, shoot em up with very little rhyme or reason.. The story just sort of hangs there in the background not really happening. You don't really have any affect on its outcome No real choices to be made, no real discoveries beyond a cool looking new gun or piece of decorative armor. Just... shoot em up and keep moving, shoot em up some more and don't really think about it. Bottom line I am disappointed. The game is tedious and repetitive. Maybe it's not the games fault. Maybe they over sensationalized it and I bought into the hype and let my imagination run away a little. I played the Beta... And I was worried. But I thought, hey... this is just the Beta, this whole universe will open right on up when the full game is released. Wishful thinking. Imagination run amuck. If I new then what I know now I don't believe I would have made this purchase. I can go have a similar, yes even better experience with Halo. Nothing new here, move along. I'm thankful that I didn't buy the Expansion Pass. I'd really be kicking myself now if I had. For some people, those that like to "shoot em up" and not really give things any more consideration. Then this game should be a fine distraction. Like I said, it has great eye candy but I just can't find anything else that's over the top and epic to say about it.
I was once in a heated competition with my neighbor on Xboxlive to see who could reach 10,000 achievement points first. Like myself he is an avid video gamer as well but he also has three children who game ferociously any chance they get. So the competition was stacked in his favor as there's only me to play the games and earn the achievements. Despite all of this I began to pull ahead and as the competition grew more heated over the weeks and it looked like I was going to break the magic 10,000 point barrier first my neighbor pulled out all the stops. He started renting games with reckless abandon and even began to platoon his children in shifts around the clock in order to rack up precious points. This disturbed his eldest child and she called the police on him citing child abuse. Social services arrived and things calmed down at his household as I crossed the finish line first!
Since then he and his family has pulled ahead of me but that's ok.... for now. He's only put about 800 pts on me and one of these days I plan to reel him back in and reclaim the lead. I don't think I'll tell him my plan, after all I wouldn't want him to end up in prison.
I believe I will purchase the most powerful bells & whistles Xbox when it debuts... I want no 5 fingered ring of death to visit upon my abode. I'm not saying that the purchase of the most powerful will grant me safety from malfunction... those two thoughts are not related nor intended to imply anything but the fact that I intend to throw myself under the wheels of the Xbox numero Uno http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_one and succumb to its influence. I want some power. Give me a chance to stake my claim in the cloud for the rest of the existence of planet earth. I'll take the full experience this time around, for sure. Prop that projector behind my head and give me my 21st century Holo-Deck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodeck Oh yeah, it's coming isn't it? yeah, we've all seen the future and as soon as we can cause photons to take shape and deliver a punch, well... the sexes will no longer be needed now will they? I'll take petri dish #2 with eyes of blue, thank you. Okay, on to something else.
It's amazing how much suckage there is out there in the world, especially these days. But then again, I suppose if the world didn't suck so bad then we'd all fall off... shhhloooooop! Ummm.... Women with Tatts... yeah. Now, some Tatts are ok, for example if the girl is cute and the Tatt is video game related then it's A.O.K. If it's a mural across her back... Not so good, as that just screams "I'm damaged goods and I need this in order to complete my rebellion against all human decency. Uhhhh.... I like Monsanto and I believe genetically engineered food is good for you! I also like guns, Nerf guns. But guns none the less as I can modify a Nerf gun so that it is capable of causing great bodily harm. Ask me some time and I will provide a free demonstration (MAYBE).
Hypocrisy. Sick of it. Hey you, they said to me... Hey you, if you do such and such a thing I'll bee hive certain to lay the smack down on ya. And then they turn right around (Jump down turn around) and commit the very thing they warned you about, again and again. But then again, an addled mind doesn't know that who is on first base and what just stole second.
The world has no compassion. No mercy and certainly no understanding. No, the world sits and waits for its prey, hungry to devour its next victim. I drive a Corvette, therefore I am spit upon. I drive a Porsche, therefore I am spit upon. I drive a Pontiac... mmmm, no one notices. I drive a mustang with a Martian themed vanity plate and a frame that says May The Force Be With You! Yes! Oh yes, and I have an Alien smoking a cigarette painted on the side window along with a crop circle medallion dangling from the rear view mirror and cute young girls look and point and laugh and follow me around the city but no one spits upon me while I drive it... for it is a working mans car. Albeit a slightly off worldly man, but working class none the less. And my Firebird says ZAXXON on the plate because I'm a gamer.
An animal just caused me have my creativity stifled.

Jose Renderos: $45 Million Fake Credit Card Ring Sees Indictment For Eastside Suspect
Chelsea Gomez (Oakes) / Flickr |
Wouldn't you just love to have a virtually unlimited supply of credit cards that could rack up $45 million in charges?
Us too. The problem for 38-year-old Eastsider Jose Rolando Renderos his accomplices was that the cards were fake and the charges were fraudulent, according to a U.S. federal grand jury indictment announced today.
It was fun while it lasted, though:
Authorities believe the trio under indictment used the cards to purchase "high-end" goods for resale. In a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement statement, Milagro del Carmen Alvarez Hernandez, 27, is accused of using ...
... one of the counterfeit cards in December to purchase more than $1,600 worth of merchandise at a children's boutique in Los Angeles.
Hells yeah! (Until the handcuffs get slapped on. Then it's hells no).

Under yesterday's indictment Renderos, 38, and Alvarez, both of Montebello, and Renderos' son, 18-year-old Jose Ulloa of San Bernardino, are accused of so-called device fraud, possession of counterfeit access devices, and trafficking in counterfeit goods.
Feds say 90,000 blank, fake credit cards from China that could be encoded with account numbers lifted from point-of-sale swipes were linked to the ring.
The cards had the logos of American Express, Capitol One, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo on them: The case was sparked two weeks ago when U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted 12,000 fake cards sent to San Bernardino from China, feds say.
Investigators say they subsequently found a cache of 80,000 cards -- along with embossing machines and "card skimmers" -- being stored in Monterey Park.
Even if they had credit lines of $500 each the cards could have netted $45 million worth of goods, according to ICE.
The defendants were due in court Feb. 25. Suffice it to say, we don't think the court is going to accept plastic for bail.

2015 model Bajaj CT 100 price – INR 35,034
While Bajaj Auto Ltd has just launched a handful of new models in the very successful Bajaj Pulsar range of bikes, the manufacturer has always made it a point to remain active in the low-end of India's bike market by coming up with frugal and sufficiently reliable bikes with low-displacement engines. Easily among the most popular commuter motorcycles from Bajaj Auto Ltd is the CT 100, which got a small makeover earlier this year. The 2015 model Bajaj CT 100 model, much like its earlier iteration, locks horns with bikes like the Honda Dream Neo and the Hero CD Dawn. Recently, Bajaj announced that it has sold over 1.5 lacs copies of the 2015 model Bajaj CT 100 in a matter of just 100 days. Here, in this post, we have put together all the available information on the 2015 model Bajaj CT 100. Check it out!
[box type="info" ]Read about all upcoming Bajaj Pulsar bikes in India[/box]
Of course, pricing is among the most important factors for an entry-level motorcycle to attract potential buyers and the new CT 100 scores rather well on this count. The new 2015 model Bajaj CT 100 price has been kept at INR 35,034.
New 2015 Model Bajaj CT 100 price list –
- CT100 Spoke Wheel: Rs 35,034
- CT100 Alloy Wheel : Rs 38,034
(all prices ex-showroom, Delhi)
[box type="shadow" ]See Also – Bajaj Pulsar 200 AS[/box]
Fuel Mileage
Another very important selling point of an entry-level motorcycle is the fuel mileage it offers to a section of bikers that loves to ask 'kitna deti hai?' The new 2015 model Bajaj CT 100 boasts of an ARAI-rated fuel mileage figure of 89.5 km/l!
Powering the 2015 CT 100 is the same 99.27 cc motor that powered the old Platina 100. This engine has a maximum power of 8.2 PS at 7,500 rpm and a peak power 8.05 Nm at 4,500 rpm. The motor comes mated with a four-speed manual gearbox. The bike has a top speed of 90 km/h. The CT 100 2015 also gets the same SNS suspension that made its debut on the last generation Discover. The bike weighs 108 kgs and has a ground clearance of 169 mm.

A quick sketch from a reference photo, taking part in a project.
I don't normally work from photos and especially if I haven't taken them myself but this is somewhere I know and very much like scenery in a area I do sketch in.
I'd been painting for quite a while and this quick 30 minute sketch was a nice change of pace and subject, it's done with a cheap, waxy charcoal pencil so subtle greys weren't easy, It's about 8 inches tall.
The snow has melted quite a lot in town thank heavens but I haven't stepped outside the house at all today :) One of the cats, like me, hasn't set foot outside and the other, who normally likes to be out a lot has only spent a few minutes at a time outside before wanting to come back in.
How I hate snow! It wasn't nice driving in it yesterday but I did take a couple of photos - colour though you'd never know it.

"Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood."
Oscar Wilde
"How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being."
"A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view."
Sophia Loren
"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."

replied January 25th, 2012
How old are you? What is your occupation, is the pain related to movement, does the pain occur at night, is the pain related to position, is the pain related to exercise, what is your family history, what is your gender, are you taking any medication, is there any medication that stops the pain, is there anything you can do to stop the pain, etc etc.
I list the above items to show you that diagnosing a chest pain involves more than a statement about its presence. Nevertheless, please understand that pain in the left chest is almost never from the heart and persistent pain in the left arm is also not from the heart. The most likely cause for your pain is non-cardiac, with consideration of a spine problem or a musculoskeletal origin. I have seen such pains as you describe from arthritis in the neck area of the spine.
Please be aware that I am unable to diagnose medical conditions online.

Halliburton Update
On George Bush's Inauguration Day, January 20, 2005, I purchased 100,000 shares of Halliburton at $41.62 in an attempt to cash in on the war. That investment has been a major success with Halliburton closing at 65.94 on Tuesday.
My initial investment of $4,160,000 is now worth $6,594,000, a profit of $2,434,000 or 58%.

On my must see list is Detroit Metal City (of course) which is a live action adaptation of a popular manga series that sees a shy and gentle musician pay the bills by becoming the front man for a death metal band called 'Detroit Metal City'. Sounds like heaven. It's on tonight at 7.45

Suddenly women are flocking to him and he scores a modelling job in Tokyo's coveted fashion scene. But leading a double life is hard, and ultimately Ohki must choose which persona will bring him true happiness - oh the complexity of this conundrum! What will our hero do?

Looking round room,
I can tell that you
Are the most beautiful girl in the...room.
In the whole wide room
And when you're on the street
Depending on the street
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Good looking girls on the street
Depending on the street
And when I saw you at my mate's place
I thought what...is...she...doing...
At my mate's place
How did Dave get a hottie like that to a party like this
Good one Dave!!!
Ohhhh you're a legend, Dave!
I asked Dave if he's going to make a move on you
He's not sure
I said "Dave do you mind if I do?"
He says he doesn't mind
but I can tell he kinda minds
but I'm gonna do it anyway
I see you standing all alone by the stereo
I dim the lights down very low, here we go
You're so beautiful
You could be a waitress
You're so beautiful
You could be an air hostess in the 60s
You're so beautiful
You could be a part...time...model
And then I seal the deal
I do my moves
I do my dance moves
It's twelve oh two
Just me and you
And seven other dudes
Around you on the dance floor
I draw you near
Let's get outta here
Let's get in a cab
I'll buy you a kebab!
Now I can't believe
That I'm sharing a kebab with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
With a kebab
Why don't we leave?
Let's go to my houseand we can feel each other up on the couch
Oh no. I don't mind taking it slow-ho-ho, no-ho-ho, yeah.
Cause you're so beautiful
Like a, tree
Or a high-class prostitute
You're so beautiful
Mmm, you could be a part-time model
But you'd probably have to keep your normal job
A part-time model!
Spending part of your time, modelling,
and part of your time, next to meeeeeeeeee!
My place is usually tidier than this...

Prioritizing Expenditures for a Recovery for All: A Rapid Review of Public Expenditures in 126 Developing
This working paper examines the extent to which fiscal consolidation is occuring in 2010-11 among 126 low and middle-income countries, and the potential risks for children and poor households at a time when economic recovery is fragile and uneven. Using fiscal projection data published by the IMF, the paper finds that a significant number of countries is expected to contract aggregate government spending in 2010-11. This is of concern both in terms of GDP (44% of the sample is tightening) as well as in the real value of total government expenditures (25% of the countries). The paper identifies common adjustment measures considered by policy makers, such as wage bill cuts/caps, reducing subsidies and targeting social protection, and highlights their potentially negative social impacts. Financing options for equitable social spending are explored. The paper concludes by questioning if the projected fiscal adjustment trajectory in a number of countries -- in terms of timing, scope and pace -- is conducive to adequately protecting vulnerable households and achieving development goals such as the MDGs.

text: The Tampa real estate market is awesome. Active inventory continues to drop while contract pendings and solds continue to rise. Active listings declined in May by 10%. Contract Pendings and Solds have increased by 10% over April 2009. Banked owned and short sales dominate the market. The only bad news is that home values continue to decline. I don't see home values stabilizing anytime soon. This decline in value will continue until foreclosure and short sale inventories decline.

With Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy missing the cut at Abu Dhabi, and making news mostly for everything but good play, the golf world focused its attention on the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif on Sunday. In the California desert, Brian Gay stopped the youthful surge on the PGA Tour with his fourth career win.
Father Time
Seeing Brian Gay on a PGA Tour driving range, you might wonder what's so special about him. He doesn't hit it long or particularly pure all the time. But once you study his career you learn that he's battled depression, injuries and swing changes to become one of the toughest competitors on tour.
To those who know the 41-year-old former Florida Gator, it wasn't surprising that he shot a 9-under 63 on Sunday to come from six back at the start of the day to win the Humana Challenge. After Russell Henley's rout at the Sony Open, it looked as if another 20-something might snag a victory for the second week in a row.
Scott Stallings was a good bet to win his third PGA Tour title after starting the day with a five-shot lead.
But Gay knows something about beating the odds. After bruising his ribs in a ski accident in December 2005, he battled depression for a while. Yet, he would pick himself up, and in 2009 he won twice. Last year, he struggled through another swing change. With former PGA Tour player turned swing instructor, Grant Waite, he worked to gain some distance with his driver.
"I feel like it's coming around," Gay said. "It's helped me a lot, and I was just trying to get more efficient with my driver numbers to kind of max out my distance."
On Sunday, Gay got everything out of his game on the Palmer Private course at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif. As good as the future looks for young players like Henley and Stallings, there is still a bright future for the old guys.
For Gay, Father Time hasn't come calling yet.
Learning Curve For Scott Stallings
On Sunday, Scott Stallings lost a five-shot lead, but had the 72nd hole to salvage his third career win in as many years on tour. All he needed to do was find the green with a 6-iron on the par 5 18th and walk away with a two-putt birdie for his second trip to the Masters.
But he pulled his approach shot left into the water. Then, he couldn't get up and down for par to get into the playoff with Gay, David Lingmerth and Charles Howell III.
"Felt like I made a good swing, just [that the] ball came off a little right and got a bad kick and went in the water," said the 27-year-old former Tennessee Tech star. "But it is what it is. Coming down the stretch on the 72nd hole, you can't make mistakes like that. And it stinks, but it's something that I'll definitely learn from."
Stallings is a fast learner, and he will only get better from this setback. He's one of the brightest young players on tour. He can hit the ball a country mile and make putts under pressure as he demonstrated in his two wins, the Greenbrier Classic and the True South Classic. He still has several chances left to get into the Masters field by April.
The tour is full of good young American players: athletes with true grit and ice in their veins. By the end of the year, both Stallings and Russell Henley, who won the Sony Open, could be in the top 30 on the money list and headed to the Presidents Cup in October.
Rory's New Adventure
On Thursday, after his 3-over 75 in the first round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, Rory McIlroy made some glaring excuses in his post-round interview.
First, he proclaimed that he was in an "experimental period" with his new golf clubs, and that he would take four weeks off after the tournament to work out some of the kinks.
Abu Dhabi was phase one of the trials.
In other words, he wasn't prepared to win the event. And when he is ready on a bigger stage, say, at his next tournament, the Accenture Match Play n February, he hopes to have a product ready for market. But until such a time comes when he feels like the old Rory, his tournament appearances are for "experimental" use only.
Here is the difference between him and Tiger Woods. Through his numerous swing changes and injuries, Tiger has never put warning labels on his game. Tiger has attributed some of his inconsistency to pain or some swing flaw, but he's always played to win. Watching him grind his way through every shot, you never feel like he's shuffling around in a glorified demo day, experimenting with new clubs.
Second, McIlroy said he was rusty. That's a reasonable gripe. He hasn't played a competitive round in eight weeks. But much of the field is dusting off some rust as this point in the season. When the starter calls your name, you have to be ready to play.
Then before Friday's second round, he dumped his new Nike putter for his old Titleist Scotty Cameron. To explain the decision and his failure to make any putts and another 75 to miss the cut by four shots, McIlroy gave a geeky explanation about the putter's weight.
"I just felt like the greens that I've been practicing on in Florida are a lot faster than these," he said. "The putter, the Nike putter is great on that. But then getting to here, it's just a lighter ‑‑ so it's just a weight issue more than anything else.
"I can feel the head of this one I used today a little bit better. On fast greens, the other one works fine."
One poor round on the greens is all it took for him to go back to his battle-tested putter. That's not enough time to know if anything works, especially after eight weeks off. Plus, the weight is the easiest thing to change.
Four weeks off won't be enough for McIlroy to solve any issues he has with the new equipment. Through competition, he's got to find confidence with his new wares.
I don't completely agree with some that he shouldn't have changed equipment. That's his prerogative. But with the shift, he has certainly brought on himself an unnecessary distraction.
McIlroy shouldn't get too ahead of himself, believing that every tournament leading up to the Masters is simply some trial period in preparation for that glorious week in April.
A player's year still unfolds shot by shot, tournament by tournament.
McIlroy can't lose that free-swinging, excited working-class kid from Holywood, Northern Ireland to superstardom and fancy new branding. The proof of his success this year will not be in how well he adjusts to the new clubs, but how determined he is to put all of that new stuff out of his mind and just play golf.
Tiger's Real Mistake
Failure to comply with the Embedded Ball Rule cost Tiger Woods two shots and a place in the weekend at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Champions. But it never should have come to that. Tiger didn't play well. In his two rounds at Abu Dhabi, he hit only 39 percent of his fairways.
"I didn't hit it particularly well," he said. "I putted great, but just didn't hit it very good."
In recent years, Tiger has focused on his full golf swing under the tutelage of Sean Foley. The more he talked about his swing change, the more crucial short putts he seemed to miss.
At Abu Dhabi, he talked about working back from the green.
"When you're 11 months old, you're not going to be bombing drivers out there," Tiger said. "So that's how I learned the game, and every offseason I do the same thing."
If Tiger is to win his first major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, he will need to find that wizardry with the short game that helped him to 14 majors. He'll be back at the site of that heroic win this week for the Farmers Insurance Classic. He's looking for his ninth career win at Torrey Pines.
His fabulous memories at the San Diego course will help him quickly forget the missed cut and embedded ball at Abu Dhabi.
Player's Captain
During the European Tour event in Abu Dhabi, Paul McGinley was named the European Ryder Cup team captain at Gleneagles in 2014. McGinley had a very vocal lobbyist in Rory McIlroy.
"I have a very strong opinion about this," McIlroy said. "I really think Paul deserves it.
"He has been a great player and a great personality for the European Tour over the years. I also played under him at the Seve Trophy in 2009, and I thought he did a great job. From all the captains I've played under, I think he was the best."
Ian Poulter, Luke Donald and Justin Rose joined McIlroy in support of McGinley.
This prompted Jason Dufner to say that the players should have more say in the selection of the American captain. Dufner, who was 3-1 in his first Ryder Cup at Medinah, said that the European players are "going to come together" because of the role players had in choosing McGinley.
Over the years, PGA of America has asked from input from players, but the organization of club professionals makes the final decision on the U.S. captain.
The PGA's control was fully evident in its selection of Tom Watson to the U.S. captaincy for the 2014 matches. Fed up with the recent European domination of the matches, PGA of America president Ted Bishop personally reached out to the eight-time major champion and prepared a long dossier as to why Watson was the right man for the job. If the tour players had a chance to voice any opinions on the decision, it was merely a courtesy, because the PGA was set on its candidate.
There are problems with both approaches.
An activist group of players could turn the selection process into a situation in which players mount their own campaigns to pick their favorites, with influential stars like McIlroy using their clout to sway other players.
What are the chances all the players are going to agree on the same captain? Division within the player corps over the captain could lead to dissension on the team.
The PGA's centralized process can be a little dictatorial and top-heavy, but with some player input it's the closest thing possible to a democratic process.
The European team was going to come together around any of its candidates. That's because the matches are not about the captains, but the men who line up to play for three days every other year.

General Question
Can you suggest ideas for a father-son vacation in March?
Asked by wundayatta (58495)
January 10th, 2011
I think we could either go warm or go cold, but not that nasty time that usually happens in March. I think we'd like to do some adventuresome things like bicycling, hiking, swimming, snorkling. It would be nice to have some historic stuff going on. Beautiful architecture would be nice.
It can't be luxury, but it doesn't have to be economy either. If the plane ride is less than $500, it could be anywhere from Baja to Banff; Costa Rica to South Carolina.
If there are activities with other ten year old kids, that would be good, but not necessary. No Disneyland stuff. No theme parks. Resorts might be considered.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- A federal judge has delayed the trial of four men accused of plotting to bomb New York synagogues after the prosecution said it needs more time to comply with a ruling favorable to the defense.
The government said the ruling means it has to go through classified material to see what it must turn over to the defense.
The request for a delay angered Judge Colleen McMahon. She said the prosecution should have been prepared.
McMahon said she would consider defense motions to dismiss the case. She also set next Monday for bail hearings for the four defendants, who have been in prison for more than a year.
Jury selection was supposed to start Monday but the 140 potential jurors were told they would not be needed
Defense motions to dismiss the case are due July 2.

Famous Plantations in the United States
The southeastern United States is dotted with plantation homes, many of which date to before the American Revolution. Architectural styles in the region vary, from the classical symmetry of Georgian Palladian to the columns and cornices of Greek Revival, to the bright colors and shutters characteristic of the Creole style. Many of these plantations played influential roles in U.S. history, and a few of these estates have undergone restoration and are open to tourists.
Film Stars
Several plantations gained fame by serving as the backdrop in movies. Oak Alley (oakalleyplantation.com) was featured in "Interview With the Vampire" and "The Long Hot Summer." The main home on this Vacherie, Louisiana, estate dates from the antebelleum era. Constructed in the Greek Revival style, the main drive is lined by massive, 300-year-old oak trees. Also in Louisiana, the Chretien Point Plantation (chretienpoint.com) wasn't actually in that most famous of Southern-themed movies -- "Gone With the Wind" -- but fans of the movie will recognize the main house's staircase; in the movie, Scarlett O'Hara shot a Union soldier from a film set replica of the stairs at Chretian Point. Built in 1831, the mansion once sat on a 3,000-square-mile cotton plantation. Today, Chretien Point is a bed and breakfast on 20 acres near Bayou Bourbeaux.
Historical Interest
Some plantations offer historical tours and programs. The Destrehan Plantation (destrehanplantation.org) was established in 1787, and, according to its website, it is the "oldest documented plantation home in the lower Mississippi River Valley." Just outside New Orleans, this riverfront mansion is open for tours during the week. Actors portray different tasks that represent the culture of the day, from open hearth cooking to "bousillage," or mud-and-post construction. The Hermitage (thehermitage.com) was home to Andrew Jackson, and today, this 1,120-acre cotton plantation in Nashville contains a visitors' center that offers group, private and wagon tours as well as hands-on history programs for youth.
Colonial Times
Experience the Colonial era at Drayton Hall (Draytonhall.org) and the Magnolia Plantation (magnoliaplantation.com). Both of these South Carolina properties are part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation program. Drayton Hall, built in Colonial style, was established in the late 1600s. The property served as a rice plantation during the Colonial era, was occupied by the British during the Revolutionary War, and served as both a cotton plantation and the site of a strip mining operation. Magnolia Plantation, founded in 1676, has been the site of public gardens since the late 1800s. Today, the plantation offers tours of five restored slave cabins, railroad and boat tours, and a petting zoo.
Spooky Plantations
Some plantations are famous for their hauntings -- or worse. The St. Francisville, Louisiana, Myrtles Plantation (myrtlesplantation.com), established in 1796, is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it's a bed and breakfast set on 10 acres of large oak trees, but one of the property's main draws is the mystery tour that seeks out the plantation's many resident ghosts. In central Maryland, L'Hermitage plantation once occupied 748 acres near the Monocacy River. Established in 1793, the plantation is famous for archaeological discoveries made on the property, which include four cabins filled with myriad instruments of torture that were used on the 90 slaves who lived on the plantation. Unusual for the era, L'Hermitage's owners were repeatedly brought to court for their brutal handling of slaves and were excoriated in a 1798 book by Julian Niemcewicz.

Dawn - Llandudno PierPosted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 28 March 2011 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio. A photo looking down at Llandudno Pier at low tide. This was a 2 minute long exposure achieved using neutral density filters on the camera to achieve that dramatic sky and smooth water. Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo. @Didier DE ZAN: Thanks Didier! @Shahryar: Thanks Shahyyar! @sunstone_maria: Thanks Maria! @Marie LC: Thanks Marie! @Gérard Beullac: Thanks Gérard! @adebond: Thanks Ade!....this was one of the many photos that I took while out in north Wales on a day's photography with John Leech and Mike Spriggs. We were lucky enough to get some wonderful light in a series of great locations! @Photographs by M.E.: It's a really lovely camera thanks! Although I wouldn't say it's a huge improvement over my old D40 for landscape photography, as that type of photography is not very demanding of a camera; for everything else it's much much better. I particularly enjoy the vastly improved focus speed and accuracy which is amazing even in very low light conditions; the big and bright viewfinder make it a joy to use and the greater control over depth of field is fantastic. All in all it's an extremely versatile and complete camera. |

Mickey Andrews during an interview with reporters who cover FSU
Note: It really is the height of hypocrisy that the so called "geniuses" at FSU have the audacity to use age against Mickey Andrews who is 65 while saying that age should not be a factor with Bobby Bowden.

Military Order of the Purple Heart
Texas Capital Chapter 1919 Austin, Texas
101st AIRBORNE DIVISION SHOULDER PATCH
187th AIRBORNE INFANTRY REGIMENTAL CREST
Combat Medical Badge
Parachutists Badge
Raymond Diaz was born in Austin, Texas in 1946. He grew up in a Spanish language home in South Austin and that made life difficult for him in his early years in English-only elementary school. He graduated from Travis High School in the spring of 1966 and soon received his draft notice. About this time, he was dating a girl from Salado, a Miss Mary Trevino. Raymond was inducted into the Army on October 13, 1966.
Ray went through Basic Training in Fort Polk, Louisiana and then was sent through Advanced Individual Training as a Medical Corpsman at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. From there, he went through Airborne training and received his "jump wings" at Fort Benning, Georgia. Raymond was then sent to Fort Campbell, Kentucky and assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry (Airborne), and attached to Company D as a Medical Aidman. The 187th, known as the "Rakkasans," were a part of the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division.
In December 1967, Ray's battalion deployed to Bien Hoa Air Base in Vietnam, moved up to their new home in Phuoc Vinh and began conducting combat operations to the south in War Zone D. They were there just in time to go through TET-68. By this time, Raymond had been promoted to Specialist 4th Class. Company aidmen carried a large pack with a lot of life-saving equipment, but were also, like other soldiers, armed with an M-16 rifle. When trying to treat multiple casualties under fire in the heat of battle, a medic tends to concentrate on saving lives and forgets about the rifle. Raymond Diaz did that several times, coming out of the battle area without his M-16. He got one written off as a battle loss, but they threatened to make him buy the next one out of his SP4's pay. After that, he started going into action carrying a D-handled shovel. That would be a lot cheaper if he lost it, and besides a shovel is always handy in the field. Anyway, nobody seemed to object. Meanwhile, Raymond and Mary were exchanging letters during his time in Vietnam.
Company D was involved in numerous engagements and Ray was wounded during an intense firefight that developed with a large North Vietnamese Army force on March 18, 1968. As a result of his actions that day, in addition to the Purple Heart, he was also decorated for valor.
At the end of his enlistment, he was discharged from the Army in October 1968, returned home to Austin and entered service in the Army Reserve. In 1971, Raymond Diaz and Mary Trevino were married.
Raymond served in various Guard and Reserve positions until 1999 when he retired as a Major in the Army Reserve. Some of his milestones along the way included the following. He was serving in the 71st Airborne Brigade as acting First Sergeant of the Ranger/Pathfinder Detachment 1 at the time he received his commission as Second Lieutenant, Infantry, in 1975. In 1976 he graduated from the Medical Service Officer's Basic Course at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. He then served assignments in the 117th Combat Support Hospital in San Antonio and in the Medical Battalion Headquarters of the 49th Armored Division in Austin, and was promoted to Captain. He later completed the Artillery Officer's Advanced Course and served multiple assignments in Artillery units. In 1991 he was activated for 6-month's active duty during Desert Storm as an Artillery Major. For the next eight years before retirement in 1999, he was an Individual Mobilization Augmentee for Southern Command where he would spend 22 day assignments each year in Panama.
Raymond has been a serious competitor in both rifle and pistol marksmanship throughout his military service and continuing as a civilian. He has fired in matches in the Active Army, the National Guard (Guard Championship-Pistol, 1976), and the Army Reserve (Camp Perry, Ohio 1988). In 1999 at Camp Perry, he became only the 1,198th person awarded the civilian "Distinguished Pistol Shot Badge" since that award was originated in 1891.
BRONZE STAR with "V" Device
Date of action: 18 March 1968
Raymond M. Diaz, for heroism in ground combat against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam on 18 March 1968. Specialist Diaz distinguished himself while serving as a medical aidman during a combat operation in the vicinity of Phuoc Vinh...when advancing with his company, they made heavy contact with a large North Vietnamese Army force. Seeing several wounded men, Specialist Diaz, with complete disregard for his own personal safety, raced out over the bullet swept area and treated the wounded men, completely exposing himself to the full fury of the enemy fusillade. While in this exposed state, he was wounded by shrapnel, but continued to work on, refusing medical aid. Then, even though he was bleeding profusely, he carried one of the more seriously wounded men back to the safety of the company perimeter. Throughout the long night, he remained exposed to the deadly enemy fire as he went about his duty. It was solely due to his undying loyalty, and unbending courage that many brave men, seriously wounded, lived and his extraordinary heroism was an inspiration which everyone recognized. Specialist Diaz's personal bravery and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

The Incredible Shrinking 2000 Wilson Boulevard
Elm Street Development's planned project at 2000 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington is likely to get smaller, according to new plans it intends to submit to the Arlington County zoning board. Original plans called for 175 condo units, but the zoning board had objected to the "height and mass" of the building, forcing the developer to rescale the project. The new plans, to be submitted in February 2007, will likely bring the project down to 140 units. If approved, construction is not likely to start until 2008, giving a reprieve to Dr. Dremo's and Taco Bell, which currently occupy the site – a temporary victory for beer and taco lovers.
