Gun Advocates in Alaska Wary of New Federal Gun ControlAs Obama readies new proposals, states take gun laws into their own hands.ANCHORAGE - The national debate on guns is likely to shift Wednesday morning, when President Obama delivers a package of proposals to deal with gun violence. "Most of our customers are coming in here and buying most of this equipment out of fear," Steve McDaniel said. As owner and operator of Alaska Tactical and Security for more than 30 years, his business has been brisk for weeks. But it's been driven by what he calls a "knee-jerk" reaction to concern over new federal gun laws. It's a debate he's seen before. "When something like this happens, people always want to blame the utensil and not the individual," he said. "It's very typical when it comes to firearms, its been that way forever, its always what's blamed is the gun." After mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut, guns are again at the forefront of the national debate. As President Obama plans to reveal new proposals to curb gun violence Wednesday, many states aren't waiting to follow the federal government's lead. In New York, the toughest gun control laws in the country have just been signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo. They expand the state's existing assault weapons ban, limit the amount of ammunition that can be stored in a single magazine, and expand the background checks necessary to obtain a gun. Elsewhere, several red states are moving in the opposite direction. In Wyoming, legislators say they're working on laws designed to protect existing gun rights, by making it illegal to enforce any new federal gun laws within their borders. And the Texas legislature plans to hear a bill that would appoint a "school marshal" from among a given school's faculty, and train them to use and carry a concealed weapon. While Alaska doesn't have any new gun control bills filed for the upcoming legislative session—only one bill pertains to guns, House Bill 55, and it focuses on letting school districts allow teachers to train for a concealed carry permit—McDaniels and other gun advocates in Alaska think more laws are not the answer. "It's just like, if I want to jump out of an airplane, so, I need some formal training," he said. "Or I'm going to do some diving and I need some one to show me how to do it, it's the same thing with guns." The White House today said the new proposals could include reinstating the assault weapons ban from 2004, as well as introducing a ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds. The president's proposals are also expected to touch on mental health care, school safety, and violent media.

Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 8:31 PM Should read "passed lsws" Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jan 15 at 11:23 PM A baseball bat could be an assault weapon. Media use the term too loosely for an agenda. If Alaska wants to join the knee jerk reaction, all public places need an artic entry that locks people in until they are cleared to enter. The schools could od this easy, once entrance, like it should be anyway, an entrapment area and buzzed in. Gee real hard to figure that out. Inappropriate?

Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 2:49 AM This entire gun debatacle has been bombarded by a baised media through rampant distortions, ommissions and malicious deceit. Psychiatrists, Parents, and People are to blame. Psychiatrists rather trat and attempt to contain by drugs, Parents aren't parents, and People dont report those who are a danger. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 5:06 AM Personally, I would rather be attacked by a lunatic with a baseball bat then a lunatic with a Ak47 and 50 round clip. Its just my preference. I have guns. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 8:37 AM People should be fearful. Our Government has been lying to us for years. The fact of the matter is that most of these heinous crimes are committed by people hooked on legalized medication. Lawyers, doctors, and many institutes are content on continuing this lie. If you want to see the real effects from Obamacare, look at our prisons. Does anyone think they're non-violent? Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 8:47 AM Crazies run amok for various reasons, including drugs and schizophrenia. However once a crazy starts shooting, there is only one solution: one of his intended victims must return the fire immediately, and shoot him dead before he can do any more harm. Disarming potential victims only provides him with sitting ducks for targets. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 12:08 PM @L Savage - the part you're not considering is that if so-called "assault weapons" (a term with shifting meaning) are banned, then it will be you with the baseball bat instead of guns. The murderous lunatic will still be armed with the AK. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 12:44 PM drunk drivers kill many people, but most can see that it was not the autos fault. according to the sheeples line of thought, why don't we ban fast cars and restrict the rest to only go 15-20 mph. and the right to own and bear driven viechles is not even protected in any constitution or bill. no one is going to protect you if you can not protect yourself, especially the government! places with armed citizens: low crime rates. places with unarmed citizens: highest crime rates in the world. our forefathers drafted the constitution and bill of rights so that the good people could always have a way to challenge any government and it's sheeple that had grown too obese. people have killed people since we figured how to pick up rocks and sticks and will continue to do so forever. guns are an equalizer and that means the loss of power for some. the loss of power equals fear and that leads to irrational decision making. will we have a war on guns? because the war on drugs is working real well!

If you're a serious businessman or businesswoman, you'll certainly want to go beyond the traditional form of marketing and transcend the stress that accompanies it with the mostly used and cost effective tool that is the internet. You should know that internet marketing does not demand that you become a man or woman with an Intellectual Quotient above the average. Average people and dummies do succeed, but be careful! Do not let yourself get swept away by the illusion that most internet gurus get rich without inputting time and energy. There is no effective marketing strategy that doesn't involve hard work. You would be better off consulting with a utah seo firm then doing things on your own sometimes.
The one thing you should know about internet marketing is that it is very cost effective, especially if you know how to navigate the internet and situate yourself where you want to be; else you'll need to hire professional services to get you on the right track. The secret of internet marketing is to reach as many clients as possible without having to use printable materials or to drive around speaking to people, trying aggressively to convince them. You can build relationships; maintain exciting contact with your business prospects by simply using the internet. And there are many ways to do this.
One of the popular ways of building a marketing online presence is the use of a website. However, it is important to note that there are billions of websites occupying the cyberspace. How would you make your website stand out from the teeming lot? It is here that you'll need to put in some work in mastering and using SEO techniques. Well written content with appropriate keywords will make your website searchable in search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. Although many people will be able to find your website, what will make them come back to visit will be the quality of content you offer them. If you are not good in writing then it would be time you learn how or you hire someone to do it for you. A poorly phrased statement, a misplaced word, or wrong grammar can easily turn off a prospect.
Make your online presence professional. The kind of image you give of yourself on social websites like Facebook and Twitter can determine the quality of the services you offer. You should learn the simple etiquette of social media and use it to your advantage. This will, you'll gain respect from potential clients and win them over easily. There is a lot you can do to build your internet marketing business, but it is important to determine the tools most suitable to your kind of business.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Moments after the Denver Broncos gave the Carolina Panthers a good old-fashioned shellacking Sunday, they gave coach John Fox a game ball.
"There were a lot of motivating factors to help us win this game, and coach Fox was the biggest one," Von Miller said.
Peyton Manning made sure Fox's return to Carolina was successful, throwing for 301 yards and a touchdown, and the defence turned in a dominating performance to lead the Broncos to a 36-14 rout.au
Manning threw his 420th touchdown pass to move into a tie for second place on the NFL's list with his childhood hero Dan Marino. He trails only Brett Favre (508).
"I have never felt comfortable kind of being mentioned with him," Manning said.
Manning had plenty of help from his teammates.
Linebacker Miller harassed Cam Newton all day and Trindon Holliday returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown as the Broncos (6-3) won for the fifth time in six weeks. The Broncos sacked Newton seven times, including once for a safety, and Miller pressured him into an interception Tony Carter returned 40 yards for a score.
Fox spent nine seasons in Carolina before his relationship with owner Jerry Richardson dramatically deteriorated when the organization failed to offer him a contract extension.
So Sunday's win was a taste of revenge, although Fox took the high road after the game.
"You just feel good to win," Fox said. "You put a lot into these things. It is seven days of hard work and countless hours. It's all for naught if you don't win."
Miller was all over the field and finished with a sack, forced fumble and four tackles for a loss.
"We want to be feared and respected for a relentless pursuit for the ball," Miller said.
Denver's defence put on a show, pressuring Newton all day and forcing him to make quick decisions that often resulted in mistakes.
"We changed up our protections, did a couple of things differently and they were still able to break through," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
After a strong start, Newton finished 21 of 36 for 241 yards with two touchdown passes to tight end Greg Olsen. He threw two interceptions.
By the end of the game Newton looked tired, discouraged and a little beat up.
Despite spending most of the day on his back, Newton wouldn't pass blame on his offensive line.
"This is the same offensive line that did an excellent job a lot of times today, so I'm not thrashing them." Newton said. "... I think personally I have to do a better job of getting the football out, getting it to my outlets."
Miller, selected No. 2 in the 2011 NFL draft, one spot behind Newton, was a disruptive force right from the start. He sacked Newton on the second series and celebrated by imitating Newton's Superman routine, pretending to rip open his shirt.
The Panthers (2-7) appeared ready to give the Broncos a challenge early while playing in all-black uniforms, jumping to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 4-yard pass from Newton to Olsen.
But it was all Broncos after that as they'd score 29 straight points.
After a slow start, Manning started to pick apart Carolina's defence and was 16 of 20 for 135 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley. With the game tied at 7, Holliday put the Broncos ahead with a nifty punt return for a controversial touchdown.
As Holliday sprinted the final 25 yards to the end zone alone and untouched, television replays appeared to show him flip the ball out of his hand in celebration about a yard before he reached the end zone.
In a pool report, NFL referee Al Riveron said, "The entire scoring play is reviewed" and that it was confirmed it was indeed a touchdown.
Said Holliday: "We had that problem last week, but I thought I got the ball across the goal line. I'll have to go back and look."
Prater later made it 17-7 on a 53-yard field goal.
Early in the third quarter, Charles Johnson sacked Manning and forced a fumble that Greg Hardy recovered.
But on the next play Miller grabbed Newton's ankle in the backfield as he was trying to throw and Carter stepped in front of the pass near the sideline and returned it for a touchdown and a 24-7 lead. Prater added another field goal and Mike Adams sacked Newton for a safety to make it 29-7.
"I should have thrown it out of bounds," Newton said. "I have to be more mature than that. It's better to be second-and-10 than have a pick-six."
Manning said after the game he was honoured to be in the same company with Marino, who was his favourite playing growing up.
"Dan Marino, after my dad retired, was my favourite quarterback growing up," Manning said, "so it is pretty much documented through the years when I have been asked about Dan Marino how I feel about him."
NOTES: Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil left the game with a shoulder injury in the second quarter and did not return. ... Panthers TE Greg Olsen posted his first career 100-yard receiving game in six seasons. ... The Panthers have not won back-to-back games this season under Rivera.

The Holloway Group, the leading Knoxville real estate team at Gables & Gates, REALTORS has posted a new article on their website titled, "How To Get Top Dollar Out of Your Home Appraisal".
Troy Stavros, Broker and Partner with the Holloway Group stated, "With faster price appreciation being caused by low inventory of Knoxville homes for sale, low appraisals could become a bigger problem."
The National Association of Realtors reported on Tuesday that inventories of homes were at the lowest levels since 2001 and the median price a home resale was, at $180,800 in December, up 11.5 percent in a year. Stavros continued, "In a rising market, because appraisals are based on recent sales prices of comparable properties, depending on when the sales occurred, they might not be high enough to support the newest numbers. As a homeowner who knows the property and neighborhood intimately, there are things you can do to assist an appraiser".
Here are some ways to achieve the highest possible appraisal:

The Smart Grid will provide tools and information essential to the solution or at least reducing these losses to an acceptable level, if there is acceptable level for this. Today this division between Technical and Commercial losses that the proportion of 58% for Technical losses and 42% for Commercial losses.
What do you think has a greater impact on society, a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport or a Tesla Roadster? Both have spectacular performance reviews, with the Super Sport setting top speed records. Both will turn heads driving down any road or even through any parking lot in the world. Both are truly engineering marvels.
With the advent of the smart grid solution there would be an increasing need of smart planning and designing especially the routine repetitive work. Increase in the real time data coming from the Smart equipments in the upcoming Smart Grid World will ensure correct diagnosis of the issues and appropriate actions being taken.
Utility electric industry is in the midst of major transformation. The United States Department of Energy is investing approximately $4 billion to accelerate deployment and demonstration through the Smart Grid Investment Grant and Smart Grid Demonstration programs.
Developing positive relationships with consumers is becoming increasingly important as both energy providers and their customers confront the uncertainties of today's world.
More than any time that most of us can remember, the nation and the world face uncertainties that may have significant impact on energy cost and usage in the United States. Extreme weather in North America and political upheavals on the other side of the globe can cause service disruptions that increase costs for utilities and eventually for consumers.
Last month, when President Obama unveiled the Better Buildings Initiative to provide incentives for businesses to become more energy efficient, we were reminded how efficiency is a critical, but often overlooked component of our national energy policy.
Customer self service portals, present a great opportunity of cost savings for the utilities because of their lower transaction rates. However; this is critically influenced by adoption rates of such portals and appropriately so, utilities are investing in ensuring an enhanced customer experience and increased adoption rate of their customer serving sites.
The business case for driving consumers to electronic channels is clear; however companies have been unable to significantly increase the adoption of paperless billing services among the majority of their customers. Industry analyst and direct interviews with utilities reveal that less than 10% of utility customers have taken advantage of paperless billing.
Let's face it. Most consumers really don't care about electricity per se, except those of us who work in the industry. Just like most consumers really don't care about hand tools, except serious do-it-yourselfers and people who work in the industry.

A few good friends and I were chatting on line the other day about the plague of false teaching spreading rapidly in certain sectors of Christianity. It seems that some well known church leaders are teaching hyper Calvinism and other demonic doctrines. A popular one with male followers promotes the subjugation of women that reduces them to providers of kinky sex for their ruling husbands. Another choice offering from these false teachers has it that people who are not part of the "elect" are damned before they're born. The reason God gives them bodies is so they can burn in hell!
These false teachers, some of whom have made valuable contributions to the body of Christ earlier in their life, are obsessed with doctrine. They believe the truth is found in "rightly dividing" the scriptures. They've applied their considerable intellects to this passion and have come up with conclusions that are as evil and they are stupid. Their relationship begins and ends with the written word, because they don't realize that the truth is not found in words written on paper in the Bible. Written words made alive by the Holy Spirit can lead you to the Truth while the Bible read by those who worship intellectual knowledge will become a stumbling block to the Truth. The inspired scriptures were written for the purpose of leading us to Christ who, alone, is the truth.
My friend, Steve Crosby, shared the literal definition of truth as it is spoken of in the scriptures. It had to do with fidelity in relationship. Jesus spoke of himself as the truth, because he was true to the original, who is God. So in the biblical context, truth can only be realized in faithful (to the original) relationships. When Jesus said that the truth would set his listeners free, the New Testament wasn't yet written. Jesus never suggested that we should have a relationship with the Bible. Many who have an intellectual relationship with the scriptures fail to have a relationship with the One to whom the scriptures point. The result ranges anywhere from boring to disastrous.
The good news is that when our lives become integrated with Christ's though child-like trust and abandonment of all that distracts, we are set free from everything that holds us back from living life in him to the fullest. The struggle brought on by the futile attempt to grasp spiritual understanding with our mind is put to an end and our spirit is set free to explore the unfathomable wonders of his love and grace.

For me, it has to be Tribulations by Ken Shufeldt.
The hero, Billy, is 'accidentally' injected with DNA from a mummy when he is an infant. This DNA somehow turns him into some kind of super-genius. When he is an adult, he manages to evacuate several thousand people from Earth before an asteroid strike destroys the planet. Once in space with a fleet of interstellar ships he built almost singlehandedly, he manages to convert his own ship into a FTL ship, although we are not told how he did it, other than that he had "giant coils" mounted to the front of the ship while it was being constructed because he had an "idea that they may be useful someday". This all happened in about the first ten pages or so.
I can deal with juvenile story-telling and no character development if the plot and science are good. But even these are absent. I'm not going to get into the plot, in case someone may want to read this book. But the science is horrible.
It is never explained why a genius who could build all these interstellar ships and put together a warp drive from fishing line, duct tape, and some copper coils had no ideas on how to deflect the asteroid from its course.
When they first leave the orbit of the destroyed Earth, they have some argument over which galaxy they should travel to in search of their new home. Why wouldn't something in the Milky Way do?
They finally decide to go to some unnamed dwarf galaxy, and Billy is all twisted up because that galaxy is four light years away.
Billy decides to invent his hyperdrive because his ships, which cruise at 1/3 light speed, would take centuries to reach the dwarf galaxy four light years away.
Again, all that science is in the first ten or twenty pages. There is much, much more where that came from.
The book was published by Tor, and I know they don't have a reputation for producing the highest quality stuff, but I really don't see how this stuff could get past any editor. This is elementary school science. I would have probably enjoyed this book when I was in second or third grade, but it's marketed to adults.
I just want my seven dollars back.
EDIT: By the way, I could only make it about a third of the way through the book. I just skimmed the rest. I bought this when my wife was in Germany and it was supposed to occupy a Saturday night for me. That might be part of the reason I feel cheated.

Christen Varley It will be really interesting to hear from this group net week, won't it?
Despite the differences, if we don't start talking to people outside our own group, we'll never accomplish nothing. I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say. After all, wasn't the tea party formed to work outside the established party system as well? We don't have to agree on every position but it is nice to know there has become.

Michael McNeil I don't know. The No Labels group is a far left group. Pretty sure they are using the Tea Party to push for their very liberal agenda. Have you looked at the people that belong to No Labels?
Christen Varley "Far left" is a mischaracterization – on any continuum. And so what if they are? Why is it a bad thing to let people hear what they have to say and decide for themselves? Sheesh! I really don't understand this invented controversy. Since when has the tea party told people what they should think, what they should do, who they should listen to. GBTP has NEVER done that and isn't starting now. Other TP leaders may think people need to be dictated to – GBTP doesn't. Nobody gets harmed by hearing someone speak for 8 minutes out of two hours.
Finally, if someone who is in the tea party is duped into following an agenda that is contrary to limited government, personal responsibility and individual liberty, they're not really "tea party" to begin with.
Michael McNeil Ron Shaich is a former Treasurer of the Massachusetts Democratic Party. And for what it is worth he was a delegate for George McGovern.
Christen Varley Good thing it will all be on video!!! maybe we'll get lucky and the No Labels speaker will suggest we all joint the Communist party! That would be awesome!!!
Michael McNeil Funny you should mention communist…http://www.investingdaily.com/15390/panera-breads-communist-experiment/

Michael McNeil In certain cases they do…
Christine Morabito Surely you are not going to let the behavior of one individual in a group taint the whole group, are you? Haven't we learned that with attacks on the Tea Party? If people do their research before blindly reposting they would see that No Labels promotes things like "No Budget, No Pay," making the president have regular press conferences, having the president meet regularly with congressional leaders, making the parties pay for presidential fundraising, making the president appear before Congress for questioning on a regular basis, and making Congress work 5 days a week, three weeks a month, with one week then spent in the district.
Christen Varley Terrible, terrible people.

Damien Dempsey Tickets and Concert Dates
Short Biography
Almighty Love the brand new studio album from Damien Dempsey will be released on 28 September 2012.
This much anticipated release was written in Dublin and London and recorded in New Air Studios, London. The album has been over four years in the making and is Dempsey's most definitive recording to date.
Produced by long term collaborator John Reynolds, Almighty Love includes performances from Sinéad O'Connor and emerging London artist Kate Tempest.
The first single to be taken from the album will be the title track Almighty Love, which is a soaring ballad celebrating the powerful strength of love. The song will be serviced to radio next week.
"Thanks to all the brilliant fans who have been so patient waiting on this album. I hope it lifts all your hearts. Thanks for the support. See youz along the road" – Damo
Dempsey will embark on a tour of Ireland and the UK this year to support the album release. He will take his legendary live shows to Australia and the US in 2013.
The four years since the release of his album The Rocky Road have been busy for Dempsey. In addition to writing and recording Almighty Love, Dempsey was involved in recording and performing the Official Irish Euro 2012 Song 'Rocky Road to Poland'.
The song's lyrics were compiled from suggestions made by the listeners of The Ray D'Arcy Show on Today FM. The single was produced by John Reynolds and reached #1 in the Irish charts. All proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to The John Giles Foundation and The Irish Cancer Society.
Dempsey also collaborated with renowned Irish graffiti artist Maser on the project 'They Are Us'. Inspired by Dempsey's lyrics, Maser painted giant masterpieces of Dempsey's words on derelict buildings in Dublin. His bold colours and style transformed the sounds and poetry of Dempsey's songs into the very definition of street art on the Dublin cityscape. Sales of the limited edition prints raised funds for The Simon Community, a charity set up to help the homeless.
In December 2010 Dempsey and Glen Hansard, the Oscar winning songwriter, recorded and performed 'The Auld Triangle' which raised much needed funds for the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) 'Keep The Lights On' Campaign.
Dempsey made his acting debut in 2011 in the Irish feature film 'Between The Canals'. His song 'Sing All Your Cares Away' was featured in the BAFTA Award winning film 'Tyrannosaur', and he has songs in two upcoming Irish films "Stalker" and "King of the Travellers".
Damien Dempsey is an award winning singer songwriter from Donaghamede in Dublin.
In-depth Biography
Born into poverty-stricken Dublin in the mid-'70s, Damien Dempsey has a musical outlook profoundly shaped by the traditional working-class music he was exposed to as a child, as well as other artists who share his egalitarian social outlook: Bob Marley, Christy Moore, Luke Kelly, Shane MacGowan, and Elvis Presley. Since emerging as an exciting young talent in the mid-'90s, Dempsey steadily learned to control his wide variety of influences (which also included hip-hop and electronic music) while crafting an extremely original and personal style of folk music, attracting a myriad of all-star admirers including Morrissey, Sinéad O'Connor, and Bob Dylan. He graduated in 1995 from the highly competitive "Rock School" at Dublin's Ballyfermot College of Further Education, and -- as a testament to his craft -- was chosen as one of the acts to represent the graduating class with a formal release on the college's label. That album, the Contender EP, arrived in in 1995. Dempsey's first commercial single, "Dublin Town," followed two years later, and its immediate underground success was followed by a brief spell in the mainstream spotlight.
It took three years, however, before Dempsey put issued his first solo album. They Don't Teach This Shit in School, released in March of 2000, was a commendable but self-conscious effort that featured a smoother, less visceral recording of "Dublin Town." Despite its relative lack of commercial success, They Don't Teach This Shit in School earned Dempsey a number of admirers within the industry. Sinéad O'Connor agreed to collaborate with Dempsey for the title track of the Negative Vibes EP in October 2002, prompting the renowned singer to include him as the opening act on her subsequent European tour. Released in May of 2003, Seize the Day was produced by former O'Connor collaborator John Reynolds, and featured a guest guitar spot by the legendary Brian Eno, but the album's most striking feature was the performance of its central figure: Dempsey had matured immeasurably as a songwriter and as an individual, better able to articulate his strong sense of morality and no longer apprehensive to sing in his natural, earthy tone. The album was released in the U.K. in May 2004 on the expatriate label IRL, and earned the artist two Meteor Ireland Music Awards.
Arriving in 2005, Shots became Dempsey's first album to be simultaneously released in Ireland and the U.K. Shots debuted at the top of the Irish Albums chart and achieved platinum status before the year was up, and Dempsey was accordingly honored as Best Irish Male at 2006's Meteor Awards. In fact, 2006 proved to be a banner year for Dempsey: the New York-based label United for Opportunity began releasing each of Dempsey's albums in America, Sing All Our Cares Away (a compilation of tracks from Seize the Day and Shots) became Dempsey's first release in Germany, and the singer's first live album, Live at the Olympia, arrived in June. All of this activity resulted in Dempsey winning the Best Irish Male award in 2007, marking his second consecutive win at the awards ceremony. 2007 also saw the release of Dempsey's fourth studio album, To Hell or Barbados, which debuted at number one in the Irish album charts. An all-covers album entitled Rocky Road followed in 2008. ~ Dave Donnelly, Rovi

While Sarasota, Florida may have too many attractions to be exclusively labeled a golf getaway destination, there are over 30 golf courses in this little Gulf Coast city, encompassing private country clubs as well as public golf complexes. To note some of the most memorable, one can begin – and end – their quest for a ritzy club at The Founders Golf Club at 3800 Golf Hall Drive. The Founders Golf Club is an upscale, private club in Sarasota with a professional caddie program for its 18 holes, immaculate Bermuda grass, and small membership. The club is located in a classy residential community, and the design of the course is a link style in tour condition with dark cherry woodwork panels on the walls of the clubhouse, restaurant, pro shop and lockers. The unique layout on the back green consists of 3 three's and 3 five's, and the price range on both weekdays and weekends is $95.
On the other hand, the Bobby Jones Golf Complex is a golf course built all the way back in 1927 during the time when golf was enjoying its first spurt of popularity and men wore suit jackets to play a round. Frequented by Babe Ruth and designed by the legendary architect Donald Ross, Bobby Jones Golf Complex is considered to be one of the most historic golf courses in Florida. There are 45 holes in all, with the back nine of the British course remaining untouched originals designed in 1926. This proud municipal club is steeped in history. Those wishing to share in the history can journey to 1000 Circus Boulevard in Sarasota.
One of the most formidable Sarasota courses is the semi-private Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club, with water a major factor in its difficulty and involved in play on every hole save one. Several holes have water in play repeatedly. Built in 1994 and designed by Arthur Hills, this course can be found at 8801 Stoneybrook Boulevard in Sarasota and online at www.stoneybrook.net. $80 is the going rate week-round. For a bit more value, Tatum Ridge Golf Links is another semi-private noteworthy course. At 421 Tatum Road in Sarasota, you'll find a Scottish links-style course built in 1989 and designed by Ted McAnlis. The price ranges from $34-$50 and rental carts are included in green fees, so the price is definitely right.
Simply put, if you cannot find a golf course in Sarasota, Florida to meet your needs, open your eyes and try again. Considering its petite size, this area has packed a surprising number of golf courses among its powdery beaches, eclectic mix of restaurants, nightlife, shopping and cultural activities.

Mangrove Bay was opened in 1977. This 18-hole facility has 6,779 yards of space with a course rating of 71.2 and 119 slope rating. Since Mangrove Bay is so close to Tampa Bay, it is open night and day. It even has a snack bar that is open around the clock in cause you as a customer get hungry or want a drink while playing.

Golfing has mainly been considered a sport for men over the last several decades, but women are joining the ranks more and more all the time.

Perhaps most notably of all, the eight-time PGA Tour champion Bob Tway is the architect of Bobcat Trail Golf and Country Club, just south of Sarasota. This is a course that also has water present on almost every hole, and large, undulating greens add to the 6,750-yard course's difficulty. You begin the course by going in a counter-clockwise direction, which evolves into a figure eight down the homestretch, and tee shots need to be carefully shaped in order to avoid the strategically placed fairway bunkering. The challenge and innovativeness of this golf course makes it a worthy experience and a credit to Bob Tway's foray into golf architecture.

That will allow you to play more once you get back home and will gain you some quality time with your wife. Everything aside, just remember to have fun, be happy and have a golf outing that will give you treasured memories for years to come.
Golfing has gained increasing popularity in recent years and has since spread to the rest of the world. Golfing is seen as a leisure activity and as a means to network. It is also a way to conduct business in an informal setting. Although, not as demanding physically as football or basketball, golfing demands concentration and precision from its players, where players have to hit a small ball with a club into a series of holes. The one that hits the ball into the right hole with the least number of strokes will be the winner. It is a competing sport as well as an amature sport many people just play for fun.
The current version that is being played today was first started in the 15th century in Scotland. However, golf existed on other forms prior to the 15th century, and historians cannot agree on a common origin. Some historians think that the Roman's paganica is the origin of golf as there are similarities between paganica and golf. When the Romans played paganica, the players had to hit a stuffed ball made of leather with a bent stick. Since the Romans conquered most of Europe in the 1st century, it is thought that they brought the game with them and thus paganica spread throughout Europe.
However, other historians have traced golf to the Chinese's chuiwan. It was played in China between the 8th and 14th centuries. The name chuiwan means striking a small ball which is remarkably similar to the description of golf. Apart from the meaning of chuiwan, there is also a drawing entitled "The Autumn Banquet" from Ming Dynasty, dated 1368, showing a member of the court playing the game. It was shown that the player has to hit a small ball into a hole with a club that look similar to the modern golf club. It was recorded in the Dōngxuān Records of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) that the players of chuiwan had to choose between 10 clubs in order to play the game. These 10 clubs included cuanbang, pubang, and shaobang, which from the record are similar to the modern golf driver, two-wood, and three-wood. The Records further suggested that chuiwan was a game for the rich since the clubs were all inlaid with jaded gold. Since there was interaction between the Chinese imperial court and Europe during the Middle Ages, it was suggested that chuiwan could have been spread into Europe during that time.
Other historians asserted that modern golf originated from a game that the English called cambuca and the French called chambot. In addition, there is a game called kolven in Netherlands which bears similarities to modern golf in which the players has to hit a leather ball with curved stick. The aim is to hit the ball into a target a few hundred yards away with as few strokes as possible. It was played annually in Loenen in 1297 in remembrance of the capture of Floris V, an assassin, a year before. No matter whose account one would choose to believe, golf has clearly been around for a long time in one form or another.
So you have already planned your dream golf vacation, and already made your reservations for some great locations like Sarasota, Tampa, or Clearwater. Maybe some friend with inside local information has tipped you off about great but less famous courses down around St. Petersburg. Whatever the case, you've laid your plans and are already counting the days.
Of course, you are getting in plenty of practice at your local golf courses in the meantime, polishing your skills and working on your posture and grip. Are you remembering to take along the best friend a golfer can have these days? I mean your digital camera, of course. Not only can this camera snap shots for your memory book, it can also record video! Recording yourself while playing golf can make you improve with your game and see what you are doing wrong.
Now before you groan at the thought of "home movies" you need to stop and consider the potential advantage that video can give you in the sport. With a small tripod, you can record your play to study yourself to figure out how to make your game better. You know how easy it is to see all the little mistakes when watching someone else take a swing. As you watch, you see their weaknesses, things you'd do differently in the routine, or notice those little things about their grip or posture that are costing them some of their performance. If you start recording your own practice games, you can study your own form in privacy later. Years ago, shooting video took bulky equipment and a team of people to handle it. These days, with practice, everything you need can be small, lightweight, and take less than a minute to set up. Professional athletes have studied video footage of themselves to improve their game for decades now, but it is really in recent years that the gear has become small and "smart" enough for the average enthusiast to make use of the potential.
Making your digital camera one of your regular golfing buddies now also lets you get in plenty of practice using it before you go on that dream golf vacation. If you are already quite adept at taking good photographs with it, there's not better time to brush up on the basics of what makes an outdoor sports picture something really worth looking at. It is not just about practice, either. With a little thought and experience, you can catch some great moments of your game to enjoy gloating over later. Imagine the camera at a low angle near the hole as you sink that perfect putt. The best moments from your dream golf vacation can be enjoyed for years, and shared with other enthusiasts. If you start working it into your regular practice now, so that it is second nature to you when vacation time finally rolls around, you can look forward to getting some great shots with your camera as well as with your clubs when you play.
There are many different golfing courses in the Tampa area. With so many to choose from, how in the world does anyone know which is the best? While the average player who is just looking for a good game may not care, the competitive players want only the best to ensure a chance at precision with their game. If you are playing on a badly kept golf course, then the likelihood of improving your game is remote.
If you have never been to the Tampa area, it may be hard to know where the best is. You might begin your search at www.tampabaygolf.com/ . This website it loaded with great information on various golfing ranges throughout the Tampa area. This site will list each golf course in the area along with images of the course itself. If you click on a particular link, it will provide you information for the individual courses. This website is a golfer's paradise and a one stop shop to get all the golfing information you need about the Tampa area.
One of the most recognized golf courses in the Tampa Bay area is the Saddlebrook Golf and Tennis Resort. The images alone make you want to hop in your car and head out for a game of golf. Established in 1982, this resort features 18 holes, annual golfing, putting greens, driving ranges and club rentals. The course isn't as large as some others are, but is a course that many golfers see as a great challenge. It has a lot of elevation changes and many trees making it seem like rolling hills in some places. The main reason it is so noteworthy is because the designer was Arnold Palmer. That alone causes people to come visit.
Another great place to golf in the Tampa area is Waterlefe Golf and River club. This course is remarkably scenic with many waterways throughout it. According to the information on the website, its inspiration was from the manatee river. Not only is this course a challenge, it is also gorgeous. It's a place you would want to take your wife or husband to on a Sunday afternoon to relax and play a few holes. The waterways surrounding the course give a hint of romance to a common game.
While those are common places to play golf in the Tampa area, they are more expensive than some of the others. There are tons of other great places listed on the website. There is a place to play for every type of budget range, so money should not be an issue. All of the links on the site provide pricing information, so you will know up front before making a long trip what your costs will be. You can even book packages if you are going to be in the area for any length of time. If you are planning a vacation soon to the Florida area don't forget your set up clubs! Enjoy tropical air while hitting that hole in one. What could be better?

JFROGNot sure if this has been posted before but I just saw a newspaper article that said that
Jeremiah has transferred to Tennessee Tech - I wish him well. He played hard and was fun to watch; however, he was not going to lead SMU to better things. Haven't seen anything on the other players that were cut. Does anyone have any info on them?
Re: JFROGAll the best, Jeremiah. Thanks for your contributions on the Hilltop, and good luck at your new school.
Re: JFROGGood luck Jfrog.
An atheist is a guy who watches a Notre Dame-SMU football game and
doesn't care who wins. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Re: JFROGhttp://polkpreps.blogs.theledger.com/13 ... ssee-tech/
intersting where it reads: Samarrippas chose Tennessee Tech over Mississippi State, UCF, UNC Wilmington, William and Mary and Tulane. so he had some D1 offeres. but to Tenn Tech he doesn't have to sit out one year. anyway, good luck.
Re: JFROG
did he get a waiver? Tenn Tech is D-I and plays in the Ohio Valley Conference. He will probably have to sit a year
Re: JFROGmy bad, I thought Tenn Tech was not Division 1.
Re: JFROG
If you get cut by a new coach coming in, I don't think you should have to sit out a year. But, I think most of the NCAA rules are full of c... Do unto others before they do unto you!!
Re: JFROGI agree in the case of a guy who does not get his scholarship renewed...he should be able to transfer w/o sitting out
Re: JFROG
Hard to believe he'd pass up the chance to stay in Florida and pass up UCF. He'd also play in a big conference and play a certain team twice that gave up on him. Maybe they just offered him a walk-on spot. Dallas Mavericks - 2011 NBA CHAMPIONS!
Long live the Circle of Champions!
Re: JFROGJFrog always gave 100% here. I loved his hustle and love of the game. I hope he does well with his new team.
Re: JFROG
Austin Peay U is the Governors. TN Tech is the Golden Eagles
Re: JFROG
Correct. That is my point. It's no use beating this horse anymore anyway now that he has moved on. I wish him the best. He always gave 100% for us. "I think it'll be good."
Re: JFROG
I've never been good at analogies.

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …

It's summer, but not as you know it.
To fully grasp the concept of the "Icelandic summer" it's important to realize that it's all about alluring pixies frolicking naked through fields of wild flowers under the midnight sun, listening to Sigur Rós.
Just kidding.
But it is true that the most unique selling proposition of the Icelandic summer is the midnight sun.
In case you haven't heard of it, it's the mostly 24-hours of daylight in the period from the end of May until the end of July. For our goth and vampire passengers this may be a total, um, nightmare, but for everyone else it's rather welcome.
You see, summer in Iceland changes everything. For example, you can eat an ice cream in the middle of the night without feeling guilty. Also: drinking a beer in the park at all hours is completely socially acceptable, no matter what your mother-in-law says.
With the shackles of winter gone, you can forage for actual berries, or go to an actual beach. So, as you can see, Iceland in the summer is a whole world of fun, even with your clothes on.
And that strange feeling you get when you stagger out of the bar to be greeted by daylight? Why, that's why Corey Hart invented wearing sunglasses at night.
