Golf Newsletter | August 2009 |
If you find yourself short on time this month and can't get on the course for a round, why not stop by for some practice? In addition to driving ranges, all municipal golf courses offer putting greens, chipping areas, and practice bunkers. Work on your short game and you'll find your score improving over time. Or, as the great Arnold Palmer jokingly advised, "I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an eraser."
As always, if you're looking for some instruction, we offer a variety of group classes to meet your needs.

Fun Fact: Know the Rules
Do you play by the USGA Rules of Golf? When in doubt, ask your local golf pro for assistance.
Tom Watson had an especially embarrassing two-stroke penalty during the 1980 Tournament of Champions in Carlsbad, California. Watson forgot he had broken the rules when he gave advice to Lee Trevino during the match. Watson won the tournament by three strokes, but was still red-faced because months earlier he had published a book entitled
The Rules of Golf Explained and Illustrated
Pro Tip: Solid Sand Shots
by Sue Vreeland, LPGA instructor at Red Wing Lake Golf Course
Those who have difficulty with greenside bunker shots either leave the ball in the sand, or skull it over the green and into another bunker. This is usually due to lack of practice and too much tension.
A good drill that will help you get out of the sand is to use a tee as a training aid. Stick the tee into the sand so that just the very top of the tee is visible. Take a swing and try to knock the tee out of the sand. Make sure you swing up to a nice high finish. Then place a ball on a buried tee and try to knock the tee out again. Do this several times, until you get the hang of getting the tee out of the sand. Then take away the tee and pretend you are hitting a tee out from under the ball.
Sands shots take confidence, and confidence can only come from practice.

Gabe: The Way I'm Living Makes You Feel Like Giving Up1 Reviews
Last chapter. Will there be a happy ending?
I looked down at my cell phone as I neared her apartment building. It was five thirty and I was supposed to be there at six, I was picking her up so we could go out for drinks with Pete and William. I opened the door to the apartment with the key she gave me and stepped inside. I could hear the shower running and a faint voice in the background. I put down my bag and walked quietly down the hall towards the closed door. Inside I could hear her singing. I loved that, she always sang in the shower. Usually it was the Beach Boys or Fall Out Boy, but today it was different. I smiled proudly when I heard what it was she was singing. "Can you hear me now that I'm dumbing myself down? Am I filling you with doubt that I am who you thought?" She was singing my song and I sounded like the gospel. It was however when she sang the second verse that I heard it in a new light and frowned. "Someone save me from the sound of my own voice can't you tell, that I sound like I'm dying. Oh, yeah. I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of waiting." It was slower and her voice shook. Honestly it was the saddest thing I'd ever heard. I knew I was constantly hurting her. Even though we never talked about it, I knew that on those mornings when she wakes up and finds me gone, she cries. But hearing her sing those words, sounding so sad and defeated, I could feel all the pain that I caused her.
I heard the shower shut off and quickly jumped away from the door and into the living room. Seconds later she appeared in nothing but a towel and a gasp evident on her lips. I stand up and smile. "What are you doing here?... early?" She asks. I frown. "You're not ready yet." I state and immediately silently scream at myself to shut up!. She looked down at herself and shook her head. "I'll be quick." She smiled up at me. She disappeared into the bedroom and I sat down on the couch with a sigh. I didn't want her to hurry, I wanted her to take all the time she needed. Better yet, I didn't want to go. I wanted to crawl under the covers and hold her tightly while she cried into my arms and I wanted to tell her how much I loved her. She returned not long after wearing a baby blue dress with tiny white flowers on it. The color of the dress matched the color of her eyes, it made them glow even brighter than normal. She had sparkles around her eyes and a soft rosy lip-stick clung to her full lips. God, she was beautiful. "Alright, I'm ready." She smiled gently. I stand up and nod, picking up my bag from the spot where I'd left it.
Once we got to the bar, I was lost in my inner turmoil. Why on earth did everything have to be so fucking complicated? The only thing I wanted to do was tell her I loved her back, but she probably wouldn't believe me. And I couldn't blame her, it's been almost a year and we can't get through a single night without her crying. Since I was so lost in thought I barely noticed that everyone was being super friendly towards Joon. They were almost celebrating her presence. Nor did I really notice the look of total and complete misery on her face.
Sex that night was weird. She barely spoke or moved. When I pulled out and rolled onto my back she didn't follow like usual, which scared me. What the hell was happening? Was she giving up on me now? It would serve me right. She just lay there on her back, eyes glued to the ceiling. I leaned up on my elbow after a deep breath. I was surprised and slightly frightened by the expression I saw there or lack of one. Her eyes were blank, void of emotion or feeling. "Joon, what's going on?" I ask, casually. Perhaps too casual. She shakes her head and rolls so her back is facing me. Sometime later as I continued to stare at her back she spoke. "You really don't do you? I mean, you never will. Will you?" It wasn't meant to be a question, so I didn't answer but fuck me if it didn't kill me to hear her say it. I do, and I always will. A few moments later she spoke again. "Gabe, do you know what the date today was?" Her voice was quiet and sad. She didn't move or say anything else. I raised an eyebrow at her back. "Um, yeah. It's June twe…" It hit me. "th. Shit. Joon, I-I-I forgot. Fuck, I'm sorry." It was her birthday. Fuck me, I'd forgotten while people who barely knew her (Pete, Ashlee, William) remembered. What the hell was wrong with me? I was such a fuck up. And this time, I don't think I could take it back. She sat up and turned around and looked at me with dead eyes and careless tears running down her face. "What's wrong with me Gabe? Why aren't I good enough?" She cried. I knew she wasn't fishing for sympathy nor was she trying to bate me and that's what made it so sad. I could hear it in her voice and in the song. She was tired waiting, she was just exhausted. And it had been me. I was destroying her, I was making her feel unworthy. She was the most important thing in my universe. I loved her more than anything ever. So why couldn't I just say it. Why couldn't I just take her into my arms and whisper love into her ears. She sat there and she looked so beaten and so broken. It was all my fault and I wanted to take it all back. Every single cowardly-cold-selfish-stupid-asshole word that came from my mouth, I wanted to put back every single tear that had dried her out. To give her everything she deserved and more. "Joon…" I didn't know where to start and when my voice trailed off, her face twisted with pain and fresh tears began to pour openly down her face. I had never really seen her cry before. I stopped breathing and started something else. "Stop, Joon, please." I could feel them slide down my cheeks like hot wax on a burning candle. I reached out for her but she struggled against me, she pushed and hit at my arms and chest but I held on tight. "Please, oh God. Joon, I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry." I cried kissing her hair. She sobbed in my arms. "Why don't you love me?" She mumbled over and over. "I do!" I insisted but she just shook her head. I don't think she could hear me, or maybe she did but didn't believe me. "I'm so fucked up, Joon. But I love you. You are the only thing I need. The only thing I want to see everyday. Jooniper, I am so fucking in love with you." I kept holding her and whispering. I kept asking her to forgive me. She pushed away and looked at me suspiciously. I knew she was contemplating whether or not to forgive me, whether or not to believe me. I couldn't blame her. I wouldn't have been able to trust me either if I were her. I put my hands on either side of her face and looked her deep in the eyes. With a deep breath I either complicated things more, or made them more simple. "I love you." I whispered before kissing her lips. I didn't get a response at first until they gave way and when they did I deepened the kiss. I kissed her with all the love and passion my twisted heart could ever possibly hold. She pulled back for air and looked at me nervously. "I love you." She said quietly, almost as to test me. I felt a huge smile break across my face and when I hugged her I kissed her neck once and said. "I love you, too."

The Mother of All Treehouses
Elizabeth Kuster: This GINORMOUS 12-level treehouse near Marshalltown, Iowa, has over 5,000 square feet of floor space, plus a telephone, a microwave, a fridge, running water, 13 porch swings, a spiral stairway and a grill. Wowzer! As my dad put it, "There are all kinds of floors and places for a kid to fall out of." LOL!
Construction on the Big Treehouse began in 1983; though it's privately owned, guided tours are available by appointment (no flip-flops allowed!). Mick Jurgensen, who built the massive, magical treehouse with the help of his family, says the structure is "only my hobby."
According to the Big Treehouse website, Mick says that, as a kid, he had a special "being alone spot" in the low branches of a maple sapling. He designed the treehouse in his mind first; it took more than two decades to complete.
Hiding out in a leafy, sun-dappled bower with a bird's-eye view is every kid's dream, sure. But in this case, the kids will need to get in line: Mama wants to be alone in her fabulous treehouse for a few
hours days weeks!
I was beeing looking the Web for this info and just wanted to thank u for this post. BTW, just off topic, where can i get a version of this theme? â Thanks

Let be really clear... the traces I was speaking of was NOT CO2.
Neither was I.

I'm also not arguing FOR petroleum.
I understand. You have been continuing to argue from the beginning that EVs are about the same as gasoline powered vehicles regarding harmful pollution - that switching to EVs wouldn't make much difference. That's wrong.
Quote by
Frame Dragger
Second, your 84% figure is based on one article, and one study, AND that assumes those vehicles are hybrids with 33 mile range batteries ALL being recharged at night. In a 220 million vehicle economy that is an absurd notion.
Versus your assertion, that the grid would 'fry', which is based on no sources at all.
Here's the original PNNL report;
it has the percentage of grid information though it is mainly about emissions. If you are interested, comment directly on it. There's similar findings from the EPRI which google will reveal.

Crowder College hosted the SkillsUSA Southwest District Competition today in Neosho. About 60 students from area high schools and colleges competed in various contests from computer maintenance and programming to basic health care.
SkillsUSA is a national organization serving high school and college students, as well as professional members enrolled in training programs in technical, skilled, and service occupations.
"For SkillsUSA it's basically we learn our field and then we actually get to compete in our field," says Nick Tilton, a junior at Neosho High School. "My field is computer technology so if I were to decide to go and do something I would actually be able to compete in that and know what I'm doing."
Awards will be given out on February 22.
Students placing in the top level of their contest qualify for the state SkillsUSA competition.

While some parts of the country actually had snow this week, it is officially spring. Hopefully that means boaters all over will soon be able to get back in the water. As you're pulling your boat out of winter storage and getting ready for your first splash of the season, keep these green boating tips in mind.
Green Boating Tips to Get Ready for Spring
- Schedule a tune-up with a mechanic you trust and with whom you feel comfortable discussing green maintenance practices. A tune-up is good for finding (and fixing) any leaks or dysfunctional parts.
- Scrape off all debris from the boat, trailer tires, propeller, and anchors before entering water for the first time.
- Stock up on chemical-free sunscreen. Most sunscreens have an expiration date and should be replaced each year for maximum protection.
- Be prepared for spills and accidents by having absorbing bilge pads and oil pads on board.
- Switch to a green lubricant to prevent corrosion without damaging the environment.
- Know where you can safely pump out and discard mechanical or electrical parts, cleaning agents, paints, and hazardous wastes. Contact a local green marina or state conservation office to locate the facilities nearest you.
After a long winter, many boaters are eager to finally get outside and enjoy the sun and water again. Just a few steps of precaution beforehand can ensure you have a great – and green – boating season!

Should everyone of us fear the moment when he achieves his biggest dream ? How will his life be after achieving the ultimate dream?
For Example, setting your dream to be the CEO of the Biggest IT Company in the Globe... to Reach the moon ... Whatever Impossible dream you dream about.
What if you achieved it ?
How would your life be then?
Desperate ?
Encouraged ?
Actually, I don't know the answer, do you?

Nov 15 2011: Sorry to be the critic but I believe that there is no such thing as a highest dream, and if one achieves their highest dream then their purpose is basically finished. We live in a world that is dynamic and ever changing, not one that is static there will continually be greater, higher, brighter, and better dreams out there because individuals like you, me, and the other TEDsters will continue to innovate and will definitely have ideas that are worth spreading!
Nov 16 2011: I would disagree, I think having a BIGGEST dream , and imagining every moment that could please you when we you achieve your dream is the way that specialists help people in their Goal setting, and that's the core of the problem I am thinking about.
ALSO, Dream's BIggereness is somehow relative, where no one can deny or assure it 100%
People whom set a goal driven by severe emotions when they have set this goal. They would feel spirirt absence after they reach that dream
Nov 16 2011: Ibrahim,
What do you mean by feeling "spirit absence after they reach that dream?"
You say that "goal setting" involves "imagining every moment that could please you". I agree with that. You think people may feel that once the goal is reached, the imagining, or drive is then absent? I find that people who are goal oriented with imagination, generally will grow and build on the original goal. I don't think I know of anyone who reached the desired goal and then felt bad afterwards.
Nov 16 2011: I meant by "spirit absence after they reach that dream?"
When You have a dream- your Emotions got tied to it .. that evolves a certain Spirit that lives inside you. That Spirit Controls you, it becomes a CONTROLLING positive power.
When You get what you want, and in the stage of re-choosing a bigger goal. You will need to create spirit of a New Spirit, which makes the person Mixed up !
Nov 17 2011: Dear Ibrahim,
I think I understand what you are saying now. I agree that sometimes our emotions "get tied to" a dream or goal, and it becomes our identity for awhile? As you say, the spirit may become a controlling power within us. You are saying that once the goal is reached, perhaps it is difficult to choose a new goal, or expand on the original goal, and this causes confusion? I agree that this happens at times.
In another post on this thread, I write about the gardens mother nature and I created, and I also say that my interest in the gardens has changed recently. The gardens were my passion, obsession, creativity, joy, pleasure for many years. I still love the gardens, and will always love gardens, but my focus seems to be changing, and it IS a little confusing at times. The direction and interests in my life have changed several times, and each time, the direction changed, it has taken me down a path that is connected, and yet seperate from the last path.
I think the difficulty you speak of is caused by becoming so attached to the goal/experience/dream that it becomes part of our identy, so it may be difficult to change direction and imagine or recognize another opportunity.
I think/feel that everything I experience, including dreams and goals, offer the opportunity to learn and grow. I do not become attached to the outcome, nor do I identify myself based on the dreams or experiences. So when it is time to change direction, I am grateful for the experience, and I move on to another learning experience. Make any sense?
With the gardens for example, it is confusing as to why I feel "different" about them, I do not feel my focus in that direction at this time, and I know that there is a transition happening within me. A "new spirit" as you say, is growing in me, and I accept the change and am aware and mindful of where this "new spirit" may take me:>) What you're talking about seems to be attachment/detachment from the dream/goal?

By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - This has been the year of the comeback on the PGA Tour, with 11 players coming from at least four shots behind to win in the final round.
Or maybe it's the year of the meltdown.
There was Kyle Stanley making triple bogey on the final hole at Torrey Pines and losing in a playoff to Brandt Snedeker. Most recently, Jim Furyk took a double bogey _ the last four shots from the collar of a bunker next to the 18th green _ to lose at Firestone. In between, there was Adam Scott making four straight bogeys at Royal Lytham & St. Annes to lose a four-shot lead in the British Open to Ernie Els.
The PGA Championship is not immune to a lead being lost on the back nine, as recently as last year with Jason Dufner.
Going into the final major of the year, here's one list of the five greatest collapses:
Byron Nelson reached the championship match for the third straight year in the 1941 PGA Championship at Cherry Hills, and he was favored to become a back-to-back winner when he faced Vic Ghezzi in the final at Cherry Hills.
Nelson had done the heavy lifting in the quarterfinals with a 2-up win over rival Ben Hogan, and in the semifinals when he beat Gene Sarazen, 2 and 1.
In the final, Lord Byron had a 3-up lead as he headed to back nine. And that's when it all started to go wrong. Ghezzi, who had not won a tournament in three years, won the next three holes to square the match, and both missed birdie chances on the last hole to set up overtime.
Nelson dodged a bullet on the first extra hole when Ghezzi missed a 10-foot putt, and it looked as though the match would continue on the next hole when both players chipped up to about 3 feet, so close that the referee had to flip a coin to see who was away.
Nelson missed his 3-footer, and Ghezzi made his putt for his only major championship.
The 1977 PGA Championship at Pebble Beach was the first time a major championship was decided by a sudden-death playoff.
But it should have never come to that.
Gene Littler, with one of the sweetest swings in golf, built a four-shot lead over Jack Nicklaus going into the final round and was headed for a wire-to-wire win until he reached the back nine. Littler made bogey on five of the next six holes, allowing Nicklaus to catch him on the 15th hole. Nicklaus, however, fell back with a bogey on the 17th, where five years earlier he had knocked down the flag with that famous 1-iron.
Lanny Watkins started the final round six shots behind, and despite a pair of eagles on the front nine, was still five behind when he made the turn. Littler closed with a 76, and Watkins made a birdie on the 18th for a 70 that was good enough for a tie at 282.
Watkins won with a 6-foot par on the third extra hole. The win eventually gave him a footnote in PGA history as the only man to win and lose the PGA Championship in a sudden-death playoff. Larry Nelson beat him 10 years later.
In the year of the "Saturday Slam," Greg Norman was the 54-hole leader in all four majors. He was at his best in the final major, the 1986 PGA Championship at Inverness Club in Ohio, leading from an opening 65 and taking a four-shot lead into the final round.
The Shark began a slow bleed, however, and he started dropping shots around the turn on a difficult Sunday at Inverness, when only 12 of the 72 players managed par or better. Norman played cleaner shots in the final hour, though Bob Tway scrambled beautifully for pars. They came to the 18th hole tied for the lead, and Norman again appeared to have the advantage when his approach settled in the first cut, while Tway hit into a bunker.
What happened next is a regular fixture on highlight reels for the PGA Championship, and all the bad luck that befell Norman. Peering over the lip of the bunker, Tway blasted out and pumped his arms over his head in shock and celebration when it dropped for birdie. Norman had to chip in to force a playoff, though the energy was gone. He wound up with a bogey, a 5-over 76, and another chapter of devastating losses in the majors.

El Paso Police County Sheriff's Office officials said Monday, January, 20 at 9:14p.m. the man captured in surveillance allegedly walked into the "Alayssa Little Store" located at 6966 Doniphan with a gun and approached one of the employees of the store. The man allegedly threatened the employee with the gun and demanded money from the register. Deputies said the business had already emptied the cash register and the man fled the scene without any money.
The man is described as White or Hispanic, approximately 5'9" in height and young. He was last seen wearing a dark blue jacket with a grey or white hood, dark pants, black shoes, and had a backpack. Witnesses last saw the man running toward Central and First streets.
Anyone with any information on the identity of the man that was captured on video, is asked to call Crime Stoppers of El Paso immediately at 566-8477(TIPS), on-line at www.crimestoppersofelpaso.org [1] or you can send a text message by entering the key word "CRIME1" (no space and include the quotation marks) plus your tip information, and text it to CRIMES (274637).

Onew in hello baby → requested by minhosfanboy
What I Love About My OTP: They were the best appas in Hello Baby.
SHINee's Hello Baby ♥
"Our fans are rice; SHINee is porridge-the existence where one can't live without the other." - Taemin
the five six boys that i fell absolutely in love with! lee jinki, kim jonghyun, kim kibum, choi minho, lee taemin & yoogeun! happy 4th anniversary shinee! i have so much to say that i have no idea where to begin! okay, let's start when i fell in love with you lot. though jonghyun got me really captured in the replay mv, it was also onew that felt quite attracted to as well; maybe it was because both of your voices stood out. however, everything and i mean everything changed when i watched yunhanam and gradually, key was topping the list. hehe i found taemin to be this adorable mushroom boy and minho a quiet yet charming person. to be able to know you five, it was quite an overwhelming part of my life. and from there, my love for shinee grew. i was able to see jinki show his true leadership skills, jonghyun improve his vocals even more, kibum becoming even more
bitchierdiva than ever, minho opening up to be a very warm person and taemin mature into a very sexy young man. you five were the people who made the days of my life so much more adverturous, trying to keep up with the activities that happened. not once, not once do i ever regret spending these four years suporting you five boys. as another year passes by, i hope that this day is spent wisely but with joy. i specifically chose this picture because it was a time where it was one of those peaks where shinee was the center of my life. i really enjoyed hello baby and those tunnel games andi dearly miss yoogeun. happy 4th anniversary shinee!
Every shawol knows this song.

Entry marlin rifles are popular, ruger American which I own, haven't shot it yet though, savage axis are popular. The 770 is hit or miss it seems. The bolt seems to be the biggest downfall. The mossberg is supposed to be decent but kicks like a mule I've been told.
The Ruger American will be the top of your range. It was a little over $350 after tax for me in ky. Msrp is $450. Some people are asking that.
Oh dern....
Revelation 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Shop for used rifles, I bought a used Ruger M77 18-20 years ago, still puts venison in the freezer.
the Remington M770 is not an accurate rifle, or at least the one i owned and the others i have shot. there are those who seem pleased with them and some do seem accurate, but these are the exception, not the rule. bolts are sloppy and sometimes stick and will fail at times to pick up the next round, the triggers are gritty and heavy feeling, the stocks are very flimsy and the barrels are press fitted to the reciever. none of which is condusive of an accurate shooting rifle. personally, in the price range of the M770, there are way much better choices.
the Marlin X7 series of rifles are IMO, one of the best bargains in the entry level field of bolt action rifles. very well made, very accurate and decently priced. they have an adjustable trigger, pillar bedded stock, free floated barrels and an excellent recoil pad. the bad is, the forearm of the stock is a little flimsy, not bad, beings the barrel is free floated. it's an easy fix and i have fixed all three of mine. the other downfall is the limited selection of calibers. i wish they would bring out some more like a 7mm Rem. Mag., a 300 Win. Mag., and some others as well. thes X7's IMO, are one of the best available in the price range and the only thing bargain about them is the price.
the Mossberg ATR100, another good choice if looking for a hunting rifle. reason i say this is, just as mentioned, they are one hard kicking rifle! i had one in 30-06, and it had to have been the hardest recoiling 30-06 i have ever owned. accurate as hell with my handloads and i shot some very, very small groups with mine. all in all, a very good rifle nonetheless, well made, looked good and was very reliable and accurate. just hard kicking!
the Savage Axis series is another good choice. not a bad rifle indeed. haven't owned one but have shot several of them. accuracy is very good, they are well made and are very reliable. now my detraction is more from a personal preference and not any disrespect for the Axis by any means, but the rifle just doesn't fit me well when shouldered, and seems, well, delicate or made more for a youth than a full grown man. but i do recommend them as they are a very good rifle at a very good price.
the Ruger American, i have only seen one so far and held it. i hae read about them and seen the reviews. so far, the consensus seems to be a quality made rifle with decent accuracy at a good price. seems pretty good to me. now i wouldn't buy one personally as again, personal preference, i didn't like the way it shouldered. that's just me though. but with all i have read and what i saw personally, i would recommend at least checking them out and giving them consideration. i also like Ruger rifles and have owned many of the M77's over the years, but the Ruger American just doesn't fit me the way a M77 does. again, just personal preference.
also check out the Weatherby Vanguard and the Howa 1500. same rifle different names and a different stock. an excellent rifle and very well made and very accurate. little more expensive than the others i listed, but well worth the money.
then there is always used rifles. i have bought many very nice used rifles over the years. some even less than half in price of what the same rifle was when new. check out your local gun stores and pawn shops. used, check out the Remington M700's, Winchester M70's, Weatherby's, Ruger M77's and many others. sometimes used rifles have only been shot few times and are sometimes in very good condition. many times some will even already have a scope and sling already installed which can make the deal even better.
hope all this helps you in making a choice and good luck and let us know what you find. if you find something and like it and want more information, just let us know and we will try and help you out.

Hobbit poll shows Kiwis think film will do well, but not that interested
Only 1% of New Zealanders expect the Hobbit film to be a box office flop, according to a UMR Research poll released today.
UMR's fortnightly Omnibus Survey shows 84% of New Zealanders expecting that it will be successful at the box office, including 64% who believe it will be a major success. 15% are unsure whether it will be a success or failure.
The numbers suggest, however, that the film may face challenges in terms of translating this optimism into actual attendance.
Only 18% of New Zealanders say that they have been closely following the build-up to the Hobbit movie.
To put this in context, interest in the build-up to the Hobbit ranks only 108th out of the 112 news stories UMR has tracked interest in so far this year, and 871st out of 896 news stories tracked since 2003, UMR says.
The news may give TV3 pause (though NBR doubts it) as the network prepares for a stonking three and a half hours' coverage of The Hobbit's premiere in Welllington tomorrow (a special from 4pm to 6pm, followed by a 3News Special live from the red carpet 6pm to 7.30pm fronted by Samantha Hayes and John Campbell, and live-streaming throughout via 3News.co.nz/Hobbit; TV One will cover the premiere from 5pm).
As TV3 reporter David Farrier quips, the network's marathon coverage will be longer than the film itself. How long can you interview Richard Taylor? The nation may be tested.
The UMR Research Nationwide Omnibus Survey was conducted November 22-26. It has a nationally representative sample of 750 New Zealanders 18 years and over.
Comments and questions16
I'm dreading the wall-to-wall TV love-fest coverage of all things Hobbit tomorrow.
Will instead watch end to end commercial free Big Bang Theory :-)
The Hobbit is just PR hype. It is as boring as Dotcom, and the Shonky Donkey doing the forgetful quickstep.
TV3's coverage of this really shows what sort of news show they are now. The fact that Kim Dotcom was their lead story for weeks and then John Key's red shirt was also a massive news item for them. I used to be a big fan but have now moved to One as I can't stand there constant attacks on the government and the tabloid news they present.
Us Kiwis will get right into the Hobbit mood once the movie is released.
I can't wait to see this movie and I really hope it does well.
Given the high level of subsidies provided we sincerely hope the film is successful so we can recoup some of the cost - time will tell.
Why stop at Hobbit mania when there's The Wombles of Wimbledon to come? Peter Jackson's The Man: purveyor of CGI eye-candy.

|arkansas alligator farm
|THE ARKANSAS ALLIGATOR FARM 847 WHITTINGTON AVE. HOTSPRINGS, ARKANSAS 71901 is the oldest
attraction in Hot Springs.The alligator farm was founded in 1902 by Mr. H.L.Campbell and sold to Mr. Donny S.
Older between the years of 1902 and 1929. It was known as the Hot Springs " Gator " Farm with over 1500
alligator Missippians and a small museum.
The Alligator Farm was started because of the need for some type of tourist attraction due to the great influx of
people who at this time came to take the Hot Thermal Baths,and there were no attractions other than the natural
resources. The reasoning behind the origination of the Alligator Farm was due to the fact that the alligators are
native and are found in South Arkansas between Hope and Texarkana in an area known as Grassy Lake.
In 1945, the farm was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bridges, Sr., and the name became The Arkansas Alligator
Farm with the addition of other animals such as monkeys, raccoons, big logger-head turtles, and a gift shop.In
1965, the farm was purchased by Jack Bridges, Jr. and his wife Sue who presently operate the attraction with
many added attractions such as a petting zoo with whitetail deer, ostrich, llamas, fallow deer, rheas, sheep, and
pygmy goats. Feed is furnished to feed animals. There are also raccoons,albino raccoon, several types of
primates, Arkansas mt. lions, wild ducks, other fowl, and a small museum. You can also pet a real live alligator
with the help of a highly trained alligator farm employee.
our alligator feed show starts in May and ends when the temp. drops due to the alligators being reptiles. This is
usually around the middle of Oct. The shows are every Thursday, Saturday, and Sundays at 12:00 noon . We
are open everyday except Christmas Day." It's a very good chance your Great Grandparents visited the farm,it
is truly the oldest show places in Hot Springs."

According to Brimson, feature costing is becoming the alternative to activity-based costing (ABC). Feature costing helps reduce company cost and improve performance due to less data needed to create product cost.
Why the Need for Feature Costing
Conventional overhead cost methods provide distorted cost because the data on financial performance is received too late for errors to be corrected. Also, the conventional method arbitrarily assigns managers with the responsibility of accounting for cost that they have no control over. Activity-based costing was developed to help improve the deficiencies of conventional overhead costing. Unfortunately, activity-based costing can become so detailed and complex that it is hard to create and maintain. Feature costing provides the same great advantages of activity-based costing, yet it is easier to use.
How to Conduct Feature Costing
1: Determine the Product Features
In step 1 the features of each product are determined. A feature is a major element of a product. The features of a product are then divided into sub-features. This process continues until sub-features no longer vary. In this article, a car was used as an example to show how to determine the features of a car. The main feature of a car would be the engine. The engine could then be classified into sub-features such as gas or diesel and number of cylinders.
2: Determine the Activity Routing Associated with Each Product Feature
In step 2 the working steps involved with the product features, established in step 1, are determined. The working steps are the activities that are needed to make a feature of a product.
3: Determine the Cost of Each Activity
In this step, the cost of each activity in step 2 is determined. The cost of an activity can consist of "people, machines, travel, supplies, computer systems…" that are involved with each activity (Brimson, 10). Also during this step, an average activity cost is computed by doing an analysis of each activity. This average activity cost will be used to compute the final product cost.
Step 4: Determine Product Characteristics that Will Cause the Process to Vary
In step 4 product characteristics are determined. A product characteristic gives the product its distinction. In the example of the car, some product characteristics would be the number of doors and the color of the car. It is then determined if these product characteristics will cause a variation "such as additional work steps, longer processing time, and/or quality problems" (Brimson, 10).
Step 5: Determine How Much the Product Characteristics Cause the Process to Vary
In this step the product characteristics determined in step 4 are considered to see how much they will impact the product process. If the product characteristics will cause a loss, it needs to be determined how much of a process loss will need to be added to the final product cost.
Step 6: Associate Features and Characteristics to Products
At this step, the features and characteristics that were determined in steps 1and 4 are associated back to their product.
Step 7: Adjust the Activity Cost Based on the Product's Features and Characteristics
The final step involves computing the product cost. All costs that were determined in the previous steps are added together to compute the final product cost.
Advantages of Feature Costing
This article lists several advantages of feature costing over the conventional overhead allocation method and activity based costing method. One advantage is that feature costing uses the process management model. This model allows for a better understanding of product costing. Another advantage of feature costing is the ease of use over previous methods. This is due to the fact that less data is needed to calculate the product cost. The last advantage is that feature costing determines the factors that cause a variation to occur. This allows for improvements to be made to the product process.
"Feature costing is a logical next step in the evolution".

Use the market euphoria to sell off all the assets and return the gov't money ASAP. Use what's left to close all the CDS positions (if they are not made whole that is the counter party's problem). If anything is left, shareholders can have it. AIG grew too big is in a lot of pain and needs to be put down. Teach the shareholders they need to be prudent going forward and that gov't won't be bailing out equity stakes in over-sized hedge funds.
He's probably approximately correct about talent retention. It makes perfect sense that every unconstrained competitor will go after their best people, which, as has been observed elsewhere, undermines the value of the public interest in AIG. It's interesting that Berkshire Hathaway has long retained their best people by paying them based on a several year period. If everyone hiring talent acted rationally, overcompensation wouldn't exist, but then neither would untested rookies in the NFL be receiving $30 million guarantees!
There are likely any number of people who could do this job competently, but the desire for a name CEO precludes rational examination of many lesser known, well qualified candidates. Think Hollywood movies.
this is the first CEO since Greenberg that actually MIGHT just have made it work – Great job the govt. Look forward to repayment in a couple of lifetimes now!
Bring back Hank!
Let him go! If he is worth his salt he will base his compensation on performance, like the rest of the world! Hurting chances of retaining talent is a bogus excuse, there are a lot of hungry talented people making up the 10% unemployed!
Right on Craig. At this point, any AIG CEO who's worrying about compensation and try to pinch pennies on asset sales simply doesn't understand the problem. As for the simple minds who want to blame the government because of course the government is always responsible for everything bad, listen up, AIG would not exist today except for the government. The only stupid move on the government's part is keeping this dog alive.
Benmoshe is the right fit and I hope that he can be kept. H. Greenberg was the thief who created this disaster…it just took a while to actually happen.
Mr McCann – the true unemployment rate (called the U6) is now approaching 20%. But it is not about the employment – it is about the skills in this case and few people have the skills to pull this big, heavy dog back from the edge.
Shareholders in AIG have been snowed like the shareholders from the now defunct Enron, Craig. We (most working slobs) are in a place where pensions are disappearing and Social Security will likely not exist when I need it. All I can do is invest in the market and pray that my money grows to support me when I would like to use it. Lambasting small investors is not all that beneficial in the scheme of things. There are few alternatives left.
Come on Ben – how different is working for the federal gov't compared to a mutual insurance company with a braindead board and a corrupt insurance commissioner?

Colorado State's Jim McElwain believes his postseason experience helps in bowl preparation
The Dec. 21 New Mexico Bowl (against Washington State) will be the first bowl game as a head coach for Colorado State's Jim McElwain.
But he had served as an assistant coach for teams in nine bowls. That experience helps, he said.
"I've been really lucky," McElwain said. "I've been around some great coaches and had the experience of being at some great bowl games. There is no 'manual' that says, 'This is how to do it.' But probably one of the big things is, don't try to get too ready for it too early.
"(In early practices) work on your fundamentals … then put the game plan in as normal. The couple of national championships that I was fortunate enough to be in and win (as offensive coordinator at Alabama), we didn't even bother game planning until the Saturday (of the week before)."

Beautiful - Kate Weatherhead and Jared Gertner
So this is the finale to Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days, and it's a piece that gives me hope for the future of musical theater. There's a strong mix of speech and music, with swells in all the right places. The actors are clearly comfortable with the work and are able to convey the words without stumbling through expansive metaphors. The composition of the song is beautiful as well— if you listen closely, the piano part is complex and interesting all on its own. Ultimately, what draws me to Ordinary Days is that the music sounds honest— Gwon says exactly what he means to say, and does so simply and effectively. Shows like this don't usually make Broadway, but they certainly deserve a place in musical history.
Good job guys.
One of my favorites!

Scam Alert
Let's Squash This Scam!
Students, be wary. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is a scam. It's tempting to jump on what looks to be a great opportunity, but check it out with school placement personnel. Schools, check and double-check the identity of individuals who call claiming to be a carrier's recruiter. A quick way to do this is to call the carrier at a published phone number (rather than the call-back number supplied by the alleged recruiter). Verify the employment of the individual and that there really is a legitimate job offer.
Visit our Web site www.bumper2bumpertruckbook.com and our blog blog.bumper2bumpertruckbook.com for updated information on where the scam is taking place and what names are being used. If we can raise the level of awareness about this scam, it will be harder to pull it off.

Jamie Fanatic's Losing Control EP is due out this month. This track makes some serious noise, I probably listened to it for an hour and a half driving home, repeating it over and over on SoundCloud. This is out on the MidnightMunchies label, a very excellent one indeed. I would go gather some more information about this release, but I am stupid tired right now. Amazing track, do not overlook this if you are looking for something with big sound.

"The government will need some external support for the 2012 budget. It will most likely come from the French Development Agency, France or other Western countries," said the official at the international financial institution.
Morocco may obtain funds from a multi-billion dollar initiative to help countries affected by the Arab Spring that was announced by the Group of Eight nations in Deauville, France last May.
But the Moroccan government could also help itself and generate "a lot of money" by enforcing more transparency in its public procurement, the official said, for example by "eliminating discretion in awarding licences for transport or high-sea fishing".
But then again, my question about this 'formal accounting' look continues. One person from Morocco on an internet forum wrote 'actually, Morocco's budget has never been in balance' = why worry? no need to worry. France, Saudi, Spain - all these have stakes in Morocco's stability. And informal sector within Morocco. … Still probably it's meaningful to look at indicators huh.

The Capitals just can't seem to end a game in regulation this preseason. Friday was Washington's fourth consecutive shootout game. Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews scored the lone goal of the shootout to lift his Hawks over the Capitals, 5-4. Friday's game was the first of three against the Blackhawks over a 12-day span that includes the season-opener in Chicago on October 1.
Despite the loss, the Caps felt there were a lot of positives to take from the game. The play of rookie Tom Wilson, who is hoping to make the team this year and was one assist shy of a Gordie Howe hat trick Friday night, was one of the bright spots.
"He's playing very well, he's improving, he's a sponge in terms of learning and we're going to play him a lot of games," Oates said, noting that he has no timetable for making a decision on Wilson. "It's a very difficult position because we don't want to set him back, but at the same time he's one of those rare guys where maybe he's ahead of the curve for his age."
Oates may be taking his time with very difficult roster decisions, but Wilson already has a ringing endorsement from the reigning MVP.
"Oh, he's tough," Alexander Ovechkin said. "He's (definitely) going to be a great player…I hope he's going to stay here. He's a good teammate, fun guy in the locker room, (he) supports everybody."
Ovechkin, held pointless in his previous preseason games, provided another positive for the Caps. Washington's captain scored the tying goal on a power play in the third period to send the game into overtime. Ovechkin said he felt "100 percent" back in a regular season rhythm.
As Oates noted, however, the entire team looked more like themselves against the defending Stanley Cup Champs.
"To me it felt like a little bit of that for everybody," he said. "Probably playing at home adds to that and we played a very good team. They're a very fast team and the wake-up call was there immediately and I thought everybody, including Ovie, had a little more jump tonight."
Nicklas Backstrom finished on a tick-tack-toe play from Marcus Johansson and John Carlson to open the scoring at 1:23 of the first period. Hawks defenseman Dylan Olsen knotted the score at 13:47 of the opening period. Chicago pulled ahead early in the second period when Jeremy Morin went coast-to-coast, working his way through the entire Capitals team before sending a shot past Michal Neuvirth. Wilson tied the score at 6:35 of the second period, but Chicago responded with two more goals before Eric Fehr was able to cut their lead in half with just 2:01 left in the middle frame. Ovechkin scored the only power play goal of the game 8:17 into the third period with a one-time shot that just barely sneaked inside the left post.

A collection of music from 60's and 70's will be added regularly by djkit & djfanis EST. March 12, 2007

"Strawberry Alarm Clock-Changes- 1971 US":
"Changes" is the name of a Strawberry Alarm Clock compilation released originally in 1971 on Vocalion (VL 73915). It was named for the song "Changes", the last song on the last LP by the band (though there were some additional singles). "Changes" bypasses all of the band's earlier and better-known hits to focus instead on SAC's later career and interesting album cuts. It indeed succeeds in this, with a fairly insightful selection of some of the Clock's hidden highlights.
Included, of course, is the "title song", as well as latter-day singer Jim Pitman's gentler song writing contributions from Good Morning Starshine, "Dear Joy" and "Write Your Name In Gold".
The excellent "Small Package", also from that final LP, is also on "Changes". "Love Me Again",is one of the best and more unknown tracks here, and is thankfully on "Changes". Reaching all the way back to the band's second album "Wake Up... It's Tomorrow", this compilation includes all three of the "Black Butter" songs ("Past", "Present", and "Future").

Bab, the Ikea Baby
Caring for an often inscrutable baby and assembling Ikea furniture can be equally daunting which is why we got such a chuckle out of this Ikea parody. Aubrey Clayton designed instructions for "Bab, the Ikea Baby" for expecting friends - we hope she also included a hex wrench!
We saw this on Boing Boing where you can find a link to download a PDF version of the manual.
2 Comments
I am shocked that anyone could find ikea furniture difficult to put together. It is like legos.
Legos are uniform. Ikea furniture often comes with missing parts, mis-aligned holes, bits that don't line up right, and slip covers that are too small to slip over the furniture. Easy on paper, but sometimes more trouble than it's worth.

8 Home Improvement Tips
Moving to another home just because you don't like how it looks anymore is not really a good idea. There is a better way to resolve your problem and that is by improving your home. With this kind of move, you will be able to save a huge amount of money and it will allow you to have a home built based on your image and likeness. Here are the things that you might want to consider doing to give your home a newer and fresher look:
Change your kitchen theme.
Your home will look different if you give your kitchen a new touch. You can entirely change the way it looks by installing granite countertops, changing your floor tiles, buying modern appliances, or painting it with inviting colors.
Extend your home to make it feel like all new.
If you widen the spaces of your home, the impression on your home will totally change. It will be more appealing to your family and friends and it will certainly give you more ways and space to re-invent it.
Change the color of your home.
You can successfully change the look of your home just by giving your walls a whole new different color. You can either paint it or install wallpapers on it or you can do both. Another option is to make use of stencil designs and you may ask professionals to do it for you.
Place new items in your garden.
Just by adding a few things in your garden can really give your home a whole new impression. You may buy benches, tables, outdoor umbrella, and many others.
Buy state-of-the-art appliances.
If you still have a conventional living room, try replacing your outdated appliances with high-tech ones, such as LED TV, home theater, etc. Changing your sofa set can also give your home a different look.
Give your toilet and bath a splash.
Changing the tiles and the sink can totally give your home a different feel. What's good about this is that you can do it all on your own. However, you should have well thought of design before doing this project.
Make your home environment friendly.
When trying to renovate your home, choose to buy materials that are recycled or those that are friendly to the environment. You can, likewise, help save energy by using energy saving insulations.
Organize your home.
After renovating your home, try your best to make your home spic-and-span and you should be able to maintain it at all times.

Back To School DIY: Melted Crayons on Canvas
Back to school was always full of excitement. Getting new school supplies was one of my favorite things in the world, and I often wish it was still a yearly tradition! This DIY gets pretty close, though, and is a really simple way to make a festive and colorful piece of art.
The project, which is quite simple, is a fantastic idea that I came across on the adorable blog, Whatever. Essentially, you affix crayons to the top of a canvas, and blast them with a hair dryer. Watch as the colors bleed down the canvas, creating a beautiful, colorful mess! I can imagine this being a great project to hang in a child's room. I might remove the crayons from the top of the canvas once I was done, or perhaps tape off the canvas to create a clean border. Selecting specific colors and playing with the composition could yield some great results! Just in time, too, because we've seen crayons on sale all over the place for back to school!
Great idea for adults, kids, and adults remembering what it felt like to be a kid!
Images: Whatever
42 Comments
great idea. definitely would remove the crayons, and choose complimentary colors to the room I would display it in for a more 'adult' look.
And Crayola works a *lot* better than Roseart, or generic crayons! Their colors transfer better than cheaper varieties.
To cite my source, http://gizmodo.com/5826505/why-you-should-never-buy-knock+off-crayons (other sources listed at the bottom of article).
This is a must-do project.
Love it!
Absolutely fantastic!
Cool! It would look interesting hung with the drips going horizontally.
Jessica! Where did you find this ?
; )
It probably smells good, too. I love the smell of crayons.
I'm not sure a regular hair dryer would work. That looks like one of those industrial heat sources used for setting glue, etc. If a regular hair dryer was hot enough to melt crayons, think about how hot it would be on your head. I think a hair dryer would just make them malleable, but I could be wrong. At any rate, I love the art work and think it's a clever idea.
Nope, I take it back. I went to the "Whatever" blog and I guess it was a regular hair dryer. I guess crayons have a lower melting point than I thought. My bad.
Um, AWESOME! Love this.
Maybe if you take the Crayola wrapper off the crayons before you melt them, it could look a little neater, but I think overall, the point of this project is for the messy to be beautiful.
I seriously adore this.
@Miamis Elaine: here's to you ;-) -->
had no test of it by myself, sorry, so I can't say wether it smells authentic or not. Just bookmarked it some time ago b/c so curious about it. If anyone here had a trial with it, please let me hear!
Going to buy crayons and make art!! thank you for the idea
I hear you can achieve a similar effect, but without the crayons on top by pushing crayons through a glue gun.
Thanks, baras!
Do not hit the crayons with a blow-dryer without the wrappers on.
Been there, done that, it's a hot mess (literally).
If you want it sans-crayola marketing, hot glue the bare crayons to your canvas and set it outside on a hot, sunny day.
I love the idea....I wonder what it might be like to have several hues going vertical and then rotate the canvas when dry and do another color perpendicular to the first
I agree it would look even better without the wrappers. Great idea!
That is a normal hair dryer shown in the picture, I used to own the same one a few years ago. This is a really cool idea, I think I want to do it for my daughter's room with different shades of purple and green to match her decor.
It's gorgeous! I want to make one for my granddaughter this winter when cabin fever sets in. Maybe one for my daughter with just black, gray, and reds.
Just made this and love it. I had a bit of an issue adhering the crayons to the canvas. I didn't want to leave the crayons on the canvas when I was finished. I first taped the crayons together with masking tape but as I heated the crayons they slowly started to slip and eventually fell. I ended up using duct tape to re-tape the crayons that had fallen. I would also suggest using the low setting on your hair dryer. It might take a bit longer but when using the hair dryer on high, the wax had a tendency to splatter.
So cool! Here's another one I learned in elementary school. Put crayon shavings between two pieces of waxed paper, and iron (I guess on a low heat level). Neat-o!
This is absolutely wonderful! Being an Art teacher and Artist myself, I can see all children and adults get really into this. Thanks so much for sharing!
LOVE this!!! So clever!
When I was a little girl, I used to melt crayons on the light bulbs of lamps. My mother would come into the room and the smell was a dead giveaway! I am going to try this!
My bf Matt and I make custom melted crayon artwork. If you'd like to check it out, here's a link: http://thegrandcrayonyon.tumblr.com - Thank you! :)
Love it!!
This is an incredible idea. The bright colors would make this perfect for a child's room. I'm definitely going to give this a go for my little boy's room. He's sure to love it! Just to make sure, is Crayola the best crayons to use for this?
I did this - woefully didn't turn out NEARLY as lovely.
No matter which way I angled the hair dryer or what setting I had it on, the melt refused to drip in lines. It just sort of 'mushed' into duller coloured lumps and spatter.
I used Crayolas, and removed all the browns, blacks and grubby colours. Can only think that even on the lowest setting my hair dryer has too powerful a 'blow'....
Anyone else tried this and got any ideas? Why it might have gone wrong or how these issues could be avoided?
I did a project in high school that involved melting the crayons in muffin tins over hot water and then painting with them on fabric. Made a cool design of interlocking multi-colored wheels. The teacher like it so much she laid paper over it and ironed to transfer for a second copy, which is another neat thing to try.
You pin the fabric taut over a cardboard box to paint on it.
Hmm, after reading all the comments, on how it works and transfers, i am thinking of trying this out by:
1. taping the crayons on with duct tape
2. putting some wax paper over it
3. heating with an iron instead of a blow dryer..
I just did this on an existing frame from a thrift store. I painted over the random dude's photo (sorry random dude!) with black paint, then duct-taped dollar store crayons to the top and melted them with my hair dryer on "hot" and "low". I tossed the crayons when I was done.
It looks great, but next time I would definitely use Crayolas like Pixelbaby suggests. The dollar store crayons were really watery and I had to build up a LOT of wax to get a good color payoff. The texture looks kind of cool too, though.
So funny, but my mom used to give us something similar to do as a rainy day project in the 70s and 80s. it involved an electric hot plate very much like this one-http://etsy.me/LTy3Ui, set on low (so we didn't burn ourselves), you lay a piece of paper over the hot plate and then use crayons to "paint" since they melt as you draw with them. It was one of my favorite activities as a child.
I just did this today. I switched it up a bit by adding my daughters silhouette and it turned out ok for my first time. It was so simple and fun that I will be stocking up on the canvas and crayons for a while!! A few suggestions to those who want to try it out.... glue your crayons on straight instead of at an angle. This way your colors don't blend into ugly browns when they run down. (I left out all black, brown, and gray shades) I didn't think that one through until half my crayons were glued at an angle. I also cut up a large garbage bag and used it to protect the deck from the splatter. Overall, I can't wait to do this again.
I would love to make this for my room! Honestly I think that the people who think that it looks better without the wrap ate wrong. I LOVE the look with the wrap.

What is so great about the iron and wax paper, does it make it look better? Please let me know! I am dying to get started on this but don't know which way to do it. To many suggestions!
it is coool
What a great idea. Seems easy to accomplish in real life (unlike some other projects found on Pinterest).
