The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Ok guys, I've got an internship in Colorado this Spring on an organic farm (super psyched for this). I'm living in Florida and I need to have my car there so part of the whole experience is going to be a 2200 mile road trip from here to there in mid-March/early April.
Since it's winter and I want to avoid icy and snowy roads as much as possible, I'll be hugging the southern coast of the US and then going straight up to CO. Here's what my route is going to look like (somewhat):http://mapq.st/A8OtA0
Now, which are the must see, do not pass go courses along this route? I don't mind slight detours as long as I'm not going too far out of the way.
Let's see some Southern Hospitality!

Oh yeah, any level of difficulty is nice but I do appreciate a challenge. I am looking for tight fairways, shaped shots, requirement to have multiple shots in the bag, and holes long enough or with enough water to provide a challenge for an advanced player.
If nothing else, you are going to be very close to some great mountain golf when you get here! Sundance and Beaver Meadows are both just up the hill from Owl Canyon. And that is a good thing!
Wouldn't mind checking out the organic farm.
What's the name of it?
Well, when you get to Colorado you should take Highway 50 west to Pueblo. There is a course there. Then head up I-25 to Colorado Springs where you could play three or four different courses. Then if you head up I-25 to Denver there are a whole bunch more courses including Jellystone which I have not played yet. Check this out...
If you go through eastern Colorado there is a whole bunch of nothing and you will miss quite a few good courses. Also if you came through Colorado Springs you could probably post something up on our PPFDC forum and get in touch with some of the locals.
there are 3 solid courses here in Las Vegas and 2 eh ones. not to mention the rest of the town is pretty OK :P
Blue Angle Park, Pensacola FL - 3 wooded courses. I think $2 fee not sure anymore, great course's
Mobile AL...
Baker High School - Mobile 9 hole
Chickasabogue Park - Eight Mile 27 hole wooded
Langan Municipal Park - Mobile 18 hole Open with water hazard
Langan Municipal Museum Course - Mobile 9 hole
McLean Park (Hobbit) - Mobile 18 hole Hard to find but awesome course, long with elevation and water
Medal of Honor Park (Cottage Hill) - Mobile 18 hole Tight wooded
University of South Alabama - Mobile 18 hole Nice mix long,woods, water
Mississippi not many near I-10
Sheppard State Park, Gautier 18 hole wooded
Buccaneer State Park, Waveland 18 hole Am course (my home course)
Paul B Johnson State Park, Hattiesburg 18 hole lots of water and little woods
New Orleans, City Park 18 hole great course, lots of water
New Orleans, Lafreniere Park 24 hole Long arm course with water
Baton Rouge, Highland Road 18 hole, elevation, long, water
Baton Rouge area... Greenwood (BREC) 18 hole Shorter but very fun to play just opened
Baton Rouse area (Zachery) Flanacher Road Park 21 hole great mix
Lafayette Acadiana park, 36 holes (2 courses) Very wooded, a few open holes
Lafayette Pa Davis park, 18 hole Long arm course lightly wooded
Hope that helps lol
I have played every course on here except Baker in Mobile, They are all very fun to play. Also depending on what weekend you are going you may find a tournament worth playing as there are many along I-10 here is link to the local tournament series http://www.sndg.org/tourn.php
The farm I'll be interning on is called Grant Family Farms. It's the largest organic farm in the US outside of California.
grew up on the family dairy farm in North Pocono, Pennsylvania in the summers.
Maybe you can convince them to put up a temp disc golf course, and have disc golfers donate for REAL food!
Haha I had the option to intern on a farm that had a 9 hole in the ground already but this farm actually pays instead of just room and board, plus it's very well established so they'll have a lot to teach me about organic farming.
And the melon patch looks like hole 9. Get to know some of the locals here in Colorado Springs and you can get to play this course...
It is a private course that is open to locals who call (PPFDC members) ahead. A nice difficult course.
austin has a ton of great courses..
You should definately make a stop in Mobile. That is a great disc golf destination. Chickasabogue, Langan Municipal, and University of South Alabama are my favs there.

"Breaded chicken breasts baked with a sweet, sticky sauce with a bite. Very easy to prepare. This is a family favorite, and if you want to impress someone, this is just the thing!"

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups
dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
dried oregano
2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups
packed brown sugar
1/4 cup
prepared mustard
1/2 cup
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
1/4 cup
grated onion
1/2 teaspoon
3/4 cup
pineapple rings
This is the most amazing recipe on this site. I make it ALL the time and have never failed to get compliments. Here are my successfully tried changes (makes it a little easier): Use dried minced onion instead of fresh grated. Like many other reviewers, I replace half (or more) of the water with pineapple juice -- yum -- and I use pineapple chunks instead of rings, added to the pan in the last ten minutes of baking. One time, I was making this for company, and already had all the chicken in the pan with the sauce, ready to go in the oven, when I decided I didn't have enough chicken, so I took some raw pieces and breaded them, and threw them in, hoping for the best. In the end, we liked those pieces better (they're softer), so since then, I always skip the frying step -- it's a lot easier, and one less dish to wash. Another tip I read in the reviews was the cut the cutlets up into smaller pieces -- this really makes it good. Make a lot of extra sauce and serve over rice. You won't regret making this recipe.
Where do I start? I have some issues with this recipe...First, when it came out of the oven, it looked and smelled great - couldn't wait to try it. But, the chicken just didn't taste very seasoned. I think it needs to be seasoned enough on its own because it just tasted like plain chicken smothered with the sweet sauce. Second, the cooking time : there is no way in HE-double hockey sticks this chicken could stay in the oven for a full hour, especially after already being in the pan for 7 minutes! I left mine in for no more than 25mins (granted I halved the recipe) and it was overdone. I'd say check it to make sure the juices are clear, but even my super slow oven would've completely ruined the chicken after an hour. I will consider making this recipe again because it is so asthetically pleasing, but I will make big seasoning changes and obviously alter the cooking time.

I was really not into making this. It just didnt appeal to me really. But, I was looking for something the kids would like and I had all the ingredients on hand. This was a huge hit at my house! After a week of nearly having to force my 8 year old to eat dinner.. I was thrilled to see him eat every single bite on his plate. I served it with white rice. The breading was soggy, and I dont know how to get around that. I thought about leaving it off the next time, but it really does have nice flavor. Even if it was soggy, it tasted good. It is a bit on the sweet side, but in a good way. Will be keeping this one. I would be giving it five stars, if it wasnt for the soggy breading. Which didnt bother anyone but me.***after making this for several months as a regular around here, I can highly recommend not covering the dish. It comes out much less soggy, and the sauce thickens up***
I skipped the dredging and browning on stove top, pounded the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick and seasoned with the oregano, salt, ground black pepper, then followed the recipe for the sauce. I baked it for 25 minutes and it turned out very tender and tasty!
The sauce really reminded me of your typical American General Tso's chicken sauce. If you added in some dry chilli peppers or just a few pinches of cayenne, I bet the sauce would be just perfect.
If you want to make chicken that has the consistency of Chinese chicken, do the following.
1. Cut your chicken (breasts or thighs work) into cubes.
2. Put them in a bowl with egg, s&p for 15-30 min.
3. Put a ton of Cornstarch on a baking tray and spread it out.
4. Batter each piece of chicken and deep fry them at about 375 till golden brown.
From there you can just add the sauce any old way... throw it in a sautee pan with the chicken and bring the sauce to a boil... it'll latch right on to the chicken.
Serve with yummy eggrolls and Mike's Hard Lemonade. (if you want a good eggroll recipe, just ask).
My husband and I absolutely loved this recipe! I halved the ingredients for just the two of us and baked the chicken for 1/2 hour and it was perfect!
I thought this was good. After reading the reviews, I skipped on breading the chicken and just floured it. I also halved the sugar and I'm glad I did because it was still a little sweet in the end. I didn't have any pineapple on hand and I think it would've been an excellent compliment to the dish. I served this over rice with spinach on the side and it was a nice change. Thanks
After seeing all of the rave reviews on this one, I decided to try this dish. It took quite some time to prepare and I followed to directions to the letter.
The end result was not what I was expecting. It had an odd taste. It was horribly sweet with the pinapple and the glaze on the top and just didn't go well with chicken at all. And the oregano that was put in the breading definately did not go with the sweetness of the glaze either.
Maybe it's just me, but I didn't like this dish at all. I ate one piece and threw the rest in the trash.

I dont know if you are interested or not, but this tool will do exactly what you are looking for.
We use these on pipelines all the time. You already have a torch so all you would need is the jig. You will get a perfect cut each time and you can even set the jig to bevel the pipe so if your wanting to make a root pass you can.
The only other thing I would suggest is set all the post, cut holes and run the pipe through the post.

I've been reading this thread with interest since I am working on a similar project as we speak.
I'm building hay feeders for cattle out of 2 3/8" and 2 7/8" drill stem and 1" sucker rod.
It consists of a frame made of pipe and slates where there heads go through made of sucker rod.
Wow this has been slow going.
I'm a young poor farmer just starting out with some metal fab tools.
I have an old Miller Roughneck 1E engine drive welder, (picked it up out of a classified ad, hadn't run in a number of years but got it going without much trouble) I don't have torches yet or a chop saw so I have been doing all of the cutting and fitting with a 4.5" angle grinder, (laugh all you want but it does work) I'm super happy so far it looks awesome and I think it will be indestructible, bulls and what not just destroy store bought feeders and they are stupid expensive.
I'm crimping the ends with a 12 ton manual hydraulic press, started with a big hammer and a piece of I beam but that is some tough stuff.
I am finding that I have a bit of a hard time striking an arc on that pipe, yes it's rusty but even when I grind it clean it's miserable stuff and rod wants to stick to it like crazy, once I have an arc lit and a good puddle going it welds not bad. I tested a few of my welds with a sledge hammer and couldn't break any so i think I'm set. Just wondering if you guy have any advice as for starting my arc and what not?

What rod are you using? 6011 or 6010 will weld the pipe fine. For the rods I'd run 7018.Jim

I've been using 1/8" 7018 on the whole thing. I've got piles of 6013 around as well but I was told not to use it on this sort of project.
Like I said once I get going and get some heat it seems to lay a pretty decent bead it's just getting started and a puddle formed then ity seems to weld normal so long as I keep a bead going and weld to the end of the rod.

If you are running AC, 6011 will probably be easier to run on the pipe. I'd still use 7018 on the rods.Jim

What you want to do is: (after you have your upright posts in the ground)
1. Slip the pipemaster over the post
2. Set your top rail on the post
3. Push the pipemaster up so the pins contour the top rail
4. Set the top rail aside
5. Slide the pipemaster back down the post and trace out the pattern
6. Cut and weld
Hope this helps.

Tool, I don't know if I can offer you any help or not as you might have already gotten through your project. I have been building pipe fence and pens for the last ten years, so I will share some of my experience. If you can locate a few pipe templates for the 2 7/8'' and 2 3/8'' pipe along with a good torch, it will speed things up. Welding rusty pipe is hard to beat with a 6010 rod. It will burn through most any trash on the pipe. If there is bunches of rust, paint, or dirt you probably best wire brush it off the best you can. I do agree with Jim-tx on the 7018 for the sucker rods. We tack those up with the 6010s and get everything in its place, then go back and burn them in with the 7018s. On the used drill stem it can get fun if its magnetized. Hope this helps!

Reviewed 2013 Chevy Cruze Diesel: 45+ MPG Is Easy Like Sunday Morning
Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 7:10PM
The auto enthusiast community has been clambering for a small diesel car, from a U.S. manufacturer, for quite some time. Chevy has answered their call by bringing the 2.0 Turbo Diesel engine from Europe to the U.S. and placed it in the Cruze, and it is set to go head to head with the Volkswagen Jetta.
The Cruze on it's own is a pretty solid car, however, once you put the clean diesel engine in the car, does it make it better, worse, or the same? Will American's take to a clean diesel car from a U.S. manufacturer that gets 30mpg in the city and almost 50mpg on the highway?
That is what we find out on this episode of Rumblestrip.NET and Ten Minute Test Drive.

Coming into his fourth EuroBasket as the most experienced player in the Azzuri with 134 appearances (he has also played in one FIBA World Championship), Stefano Mancinelli will retain the captaincy role. The lefty forward is coming off a difficult season, as after leaving Milano he had been a free agent until late January, and then in Cantù he had several ups and downs. Following his physical evolution, Mancinelli fits better at power forward, and Italy can provide him a good chance to shine, as Mancinelli's low-post plays will need to contribute in order to hide Gallinari's absence. "Mancio" can finish with his hook but he's a creative passer too, using his better-than-average court vision. With his offensive low-post dimension Mancinelli can fit very well alongside dangerous perimeter shooters like Bargnani, Belinelli, Datome and Aradori.

Which Super Bowl commercial elicited the strongest emotional response from viewers Sunday?
That would be the warm and fuzzy Budweiser Clydesdale ad, which featured a foal, his trainer and their heart-warming reunion three years later after a parade in Chicago.
That's the result from about 400 consumers who participated in a study that applied a Bethesda company's mobile technology during the NFL championship game, won by the Baltimore Ravens over the San Francisco 49ers.
The technology utilizes a mobile app that measures how users react to an event. It was developed by React Labs, a Bethesda company founded by Philip Resnik, a linguistics and computer studies professor at the University of Maryland, College Park.
"We were very pleased with the results," Resnik said. "We wound up collecting some valuable data that provide a sense of how people were engaging with the ads in real time. ... That's important to companies that advertise, since it's one thing to make commercials that are entertaining, and it's another to make commercials that are effective."
It's especially important to make an effective commercial for the Super Bowl, when costs skyrocket, said William Day, executive director of Frank N. Magid Associates. That research and consulting company worked with React Labs on the Super Bowl study with a team of 10 using online and telephone contact.
The average cost of a 30-second spot on CBS during Sunday's Super Bowl reached $3.8 million, up 9 percent from last year and 41 percent from five years ago, according to advertising industry publications.
Using the technology on a mobile device such as a smartphone, respondents in the React Labs/Magid study were instructed to push buttons indicating whether they liked or disliked the ads and if they wanted to purchase the product or service. The Budweiser response elicited one of the biggest spikes of likes of the evening, Day said.
"It was on par with the big moments in the game. But it didn't do much to sell Budweiser," said Day, also an adjunct communications instructor at American University in Washington, D.C.
The Anheuser-Busch ad drew in many respondents — although most reported little or no intent to purchase a beverage while watching the spot, Day said.
The Budweiser ad, which also ranked first on USA Today's Ad Meter based on social media voting, depicted the bond that formed between the trainer and the Clydesdale. It was partially shot at Anheuser-Busch's Warm Springs Ranch, a breeding facility for the Budweiser Clydesdales in Boonville, Mo. It was the iconic Clydesdales' 23rd Super Bowl spot since first appearing in 1986.
The beer giant asked people on social media to recommend names for the foal, coming up with Hope after more than 60,000 responses. Other popular names included Landslide, Buddy, Star, Raven, Spirit and Stevie.
Another Anheuser-Busch ad for its new Budweiser Black Crown beer wasn't quite as compelling on an entertainment level but drove respondents to want the beer at four times the levels of the Clydesdale spot, Day said.
Kia's ad, Babylandia, also was popular with good activation response in its latter part when the father used a voice command to start the Kia Sorrento's stereo, Day said.
An ad by SodaStream didn't have the highest engagement scores but had some of most robust activation scores, he said.
"It introduced a new product that spoke directly to consumers' interest," Day said.
The Dodge Ram "farmer" ad, featuring a voiceover by late radio announcer Paul Harvey, also resonated well with watchers.
Among the duds were Subway's blooper-driven "Februhuh" spot, which elicited high levels of "blah" and "dislike" reactions, and Samsung's "Next Big Thing" spot, which left consumers "confused and drifting," Day said.
The participants lived across the country and were ages 17 to 67.
Resnik and Day met through mutual friends and decided to become partners on the Super Bowl project.
"It came together fast," Day said.
The technology developed by Resnik was first used during presidential debates last fall. The mobile platform being used to gauge reactions to events such as debates and ads is unique in that it can generate instantaneous results to different questions, Resnik said.
"A lot of technology does related aspects, like analyzing Twitter," he said. "But there is no way to ask them questions right away, or get their reaction when the event is happening right in front of them."
The idea for the technology derived from Resnik's research on human language and social media that he began in 2011. Colleagues such as Amber Boydstun, an adviser to React Labs and a professor of political science at the University of California, Davis, helped him fine-tune the technology.
He began commercializing it last summer and has filed a provisional patent application.
"The University of Maryland has a tremendous support system for innovation," Resnik said. "There is a lot of help here for professors to do the right thing when it comes to commercializing their ideas and research."
Resnik and Day said they want to work together on more projects.
"There are lots of different places where this makes sense," Day said, such as studying consumers' reactions to major breaking news stories.

Recipe by d newman
"One really delicious and really unhealthy Sunday coffee cake. I have no idea where I got this recipe from but it was about thirty years ago and has been a family favorite since. The bake time is a bit longer if you're using frozen berries."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
butter, softened
2 cups
white sugar
1 cup
sour cream
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 5/8 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 cup
chopped pecans
1 tablespoon
confectioners' sugar for dusting
I made four cakes. One exactly per the recipe (how can you rate a recipe unless you make it exactly as written?), one with less sugar per reviews, one with more blueberries per reviews, and one with less sugar and more blueberries. I took them to the restaurant where I work for a blind taste test with my coworkers. The majority picked the original recipe as best, but all were wonderful and disappeared before the end of the night. Management is thinking about adding this to our menu. Thanks!
OK..I've made this twice. It has all things I love in it, so I've tried it twice... but I've been disappointed in it both times. Granted, my guests, the first time I made it....devoured it. BUT, I could almost see it sinking into itself. The ingredients are so heavy that the cake couldn't seem to hold itself up.
802 Ratings
I'm not one to give a five easily but this recipe was wonderful! I decreased the white sugar by about a 1/3 cup and added more blueberries (I used frozen about 1 and 1/2 cup). When I use frozen blueberries I toss them in about 1 tbs of the flour to prevent having a purple batter.
I made this dessert for a group of women from around the world, who have various different tastes, and EVERYONE enjoyed it. They all asked for the recipe.
This cake is delicious. I used 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 ¾ cups fresh blueberries. Some reviewers mentioned it flattening out. The key is not to over mix the batter after adding the sour cream. *Gently* blend in the sour cream and then the dry ingredients.
This recipe is a traditional buckle made using pound cake like proportions. That's the reason why everyone is finding their cake too sweet, and very dense. The only coffee-cake aspect of the recipe is the name. To avoid cake collapse, the wet ingredients (excluding the sour cream) need to be whipped as long as possible, then the sour cream and dry ingredients should be folded in gently by hand. The dry ingredients should be mixed together before adding to the wet. These types of techniques will leaven the cake a little. To make it more a buckle and less a pound cake, use only 3/4 cup butter, 1 cup sugar and more fruit. Otherwise, you're eating a blueberry, sugar crumbed pound cake. Also - if you increase the fruit, and decrease the sugar/butter, expect to bake it longer to absorb the extra moisture. I baked mine for 1 hr 30 min in a 350 oven and it was still very moist.
I made this for "snack day" at the office. Made no changes except to cook it for less time than stated. Absolutely wonderful coffee cake. I was a little concerned because the batter was so thick and I really couldn't swirl the streusel in as much as just push it down a little bit. Beautiful recipe and everyone at the office is raving about it. Words used to describe this cake included, "wonderful" and "divine". Many thanks to dmcarm.
Addendum: I made this for Thanksgiving and froze it. As wonderful as this cake is, it didn't freeze well. The texture after thawing was too moist and it just wasn't as good as fresh. It was torture having it in the freezer anyway.
I made this with fat free sour cream and substituted SPLENDA for half the amount of sugar. You couldn't tell - it was amazing, moist, and all my classmates (who I brought it to) LOVED it. It was tough to get out of the bundt pan because the berries tend to get very gooey and stick to the pan...be careful with the placement of the berries if you can. (Try to get them toward the inside of the cake.)
This made a very moist heavy coffee cake, but oh so delicious! I cut back butter to 1+1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) as suggested by others and cut sugar back to 1 cup. Also dusted pecans with flour before adding to cake. Others said they collapsed cake and this old trick from my grandma works fine for that. I did use 2 cups blueberries and a little more cinnamon than suggested. Will make again.

Sure, there's a whole lot of pretty happening in wine country, but we'd have to say that one of the most inspiring spots we've laid eyes on is Sonoma's relative newcomer, Scribe winery. What cultish Four Barrel is to the local coffee scene, that's pretty much what Scribe has become to the wine world in just three short years. It's a place where young folks flock for a country-cool adventure, complete with rope swings overlooking palm trees and vines, chic dinner parties catered by some of the Bay's finest, a 100-year-old hacienda to explore, and a host of stylish staffers to make every amateur oenophile feel at home.
For a virtual tour of the dreamy property, we tapped three of Scribe's PYTs who help run the digs. And trust: They're all as fashionable as they are talented. Take a look, and schedule your next road trip accordingly.

The first year and a half after that occurrence I lived off of fruits, veggies, tea and oatmeal. The pain I felt was constant and included both constipation and diarrhea. It was as if my body didn't know what to do with the food I ate. I started working out to build muscle mass since I had lost so much weight and got used to not going out with friends since I couldn't eat anything. I've had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and a biopsy of my intestines. Normal results. I've tried every OTC medicine for gas, heartburn, indigestion, ect. and have been on a few prescribed such as dicyclomine
Eventually I began to feel better and the pain and episodes got farther apart. Well, that leads me to where I am today. The episodes of abdominal cramps and diarrhea have gotten closer together and for the past 3 weeks I've been scared out of my mind because I don't know what else to do. symptoms are as followed:
- gas
- bloating
- constipation
- diarrhea
- lower abdominal cramps
- nausea
- chest pain
- fatigue
- headaches
- anxiety (idk if this is related)
ooOO and i don't have insurance, and won't anytime soon. I'm gonna try this thing for a month and see how I feel. I'm relying on the web to educate me about what i should avoid eating because I have no experience in this. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated. it's very frustrating and depressing at times to feel like my life is so limited. I don't care about weight or calories, all I want to do is enjoy food like everyone else without considering the consequences and pain i'll be in later.
I'm open to anyone who wants to reply. I suppose I just want to feel like I'm not alone.

What are the best moments that you have ever experienced?
How we achieve happiness can be different for each one of us. Our passions, expectations, life experiences, and even our personalities all contribute to the level of happiness we experience in our lives. Some find happiness in their careers while others prefer the bliss found in their marriages or other intimate relationship. what are the best moments that YOU have ever experienced?..
Apr 4 2013: July 3, 2011 I was the victim of a robbery & was shot 5 times! As i lay there in my own blood the last thing I remembered was seeing the paramedics enter my apartment & begin preparing me for transport. I blacked out...came to & now was being rolled on a stretcher to the ambulance. As the ambulance left the apartment complex, I remember asking the paramedic if I was dying or would I make it! The VERY last thing I remember was his vague response saying I looked okay...then i blacked out! Once I made it to ICU, the doctors & nurses induced a coma & I remained in that state for 3 days!!!
Well, I remember waking up, & the very first thing I saw....was my now- girlfriend! Mind you, prior to the shooting we only had known each other for about 2 WEEKS!! So imagine my surprise to see her there when I opened my eyes! I was in that coma for 3 days, but I thought it was the same night. Anyway...this young lady stayed with me @ the hospital throughout my entire 3 month stay. She was there giving me daily words of encouragement through a very rough rehab ritual & waited on me hand/foot!! Needless ton say, we became a couple. Now this young lady barely knew me....really had no strong ties to me...knew basically NOTHING about me except what she learned during our 2 week courtship!! She could have left & went on about her life....but she stayed!! And she STILL has my back to this day!! I love this woman, totally! So to answer your question....I'm STILL experiencing my best moment!! :-)

For the first year I wanted to die. My Dad had taught us well, and that we must always do unto others and good things will come to you and your spirit.
I took training and am now a voluntary Disability (and older people) Advocate. I could see how awful things are (disrespect, ignorance) for disabled people. If I do say so myself I have become strong and I strive to be unbeatable in my quest for better conditions, certainly respect. My supporters tell me I must have God on my side ! Lovely eh ?
Am a great believer in Karma and know for sure it has come my way.
My heart sings with joy when I secure a positive outcome. I now live my life with purpose...to have lived a life WITHOUT compassion/passion/purpose ... one may as well NOT have lived at all.
Apr 19 2013: Dear Karmel
Sorry for what happened to you, I know people all around the word who suffer from heterogeneous physical disabilities but they are quite successful people. I am sure you are one of those people…
There are numerous lecturers in the area of self-development, regarding the fact that you mentioned there are some difficulties for disable people…maybe it is the time to have a lecturer for disable people..

The reason for "How we achieve happiness can be different for each one of us" is human ultra-high accuracy.
The "best moments" I often experienced is having the results of the background processing in my brain appearing after/between sleeping at night or just after waking.

Three stick out.
1. My wife agreed to marry me.

3. A grown woman asking to be my youngest daughter.
All three humbled me, & are probably the most exciting moments of my life. It's all about people.

Happy to see you again
Yeah your best moments are all about people and relationships..
Regarding people and relationships, How is that possible to connect to different quality network of people?..

I remember last year at university during exam session I have worked hard for 2 weeks, I changed my routines…cause I had a goal. I just wanted to do my best… to accomplish what I wanted…and I did it…looking back to my life…that is the time that I am really proud of it…you know it is not about my intimate relationship or anything else….what I am really proud of it is devoting my life to a holy purpose….
I can see similarities between your best moments and my..
CheersApr 29 2013: It might sound odd but I find happiness when i discover new food and the creativity that adds the spectacle. It is important to stay healthy and the perfect ingredient to my happiness is food and food. Being in London i manage to try one top restaurant a week so not sure where you are based. You must delve in fine to high street dining and your will be happy too. Needless to say with friends and family..Apr 19 2013: G'day Mohammad, In Australia as soon as Disabled (+ Senior) people want or need something the automatic answer is NO.
We have a very outmoded Australian Human Rights process particularly for Disabled (and senior) people. We are desperately trying to get it changed. They really work against Disabled people and some Disabled say they are in breach of the United Nations and want to take them to the United Nations.
Yes many disabled people are truly brilliant and do of course have jobs, but many more jobs are needed. I think it is Germany that has a quota for employing disabled. For every 100 employees they employ 2 disabled if not they pay a levy which goes to better accessible public transport, equipment etc.Mar 30 2013: My dear Mohammad.......always nice to see you my friend....that is one of my best moments:>)
Surely you know by now that each and every moment is my "best"?
That being said....
Choosing a partner....having children.....hiking the Inca trail to Machu Pichu in Peru and watching the sun rise through the sun gate....hiking the Annapurna Mountain range in Nepal....white water rafting the Seti River (first time ever white water rafting)....kayaking the Sarapique river in Costa Rica (first time ever kayaking)….watching Arenal Volcano erupt, from the closest seismological observatory (wow….unbelievable!!!)….the first time hearing an incarcerated man in the cognitive self-change session I co-facilitated say he now understands that he has choices…..observing the family of a person in a terminal care facility realizing that it is better to let go of the one they love, and allow him/her to die, as s/he wants to do…hearing a woman in the shelter say she finally understands the dynamics of violence and abuse, and will begin the process to take care of herself….riding horses……riding camels while exploring Egypt…..elephants in Thailand and Nepal……observing the wonder of the creatures in the Galapagos Islands…..sailing, skiing, biking with friends on a beautiful day, spending time with friends and family……. watching the butterflies, birds, frogs and fish in the gardens…..observing all growing things and the harmony with which nature creates….TED…..every moment on TED is the "best"……………..I could go on and on, and I sincerely hope you get the picture???
Right now, at this moment, I feel that the best moments were out in the gardens all day, and now I'm going to have the best moments enjoying a glass of wine and dinner:>)
Apr 3 2013: Hi Dear Colleen
You are always kind to me, it is my honor to be a friend of yours..
Your life is like surfing in the sea of happiness…that is awesome..
And as far as a glass of wine is concerned…cheers..
Apr 3 2013: Mohammad,
Nicely said..."surfing in the sea of happiness"......yes indeed. That does NOT mean that there have not been challenges my friend. Some of the best moments, as mentioned above, and many other moments, embraced a great deal of challenges, including fear, frustration, and confusion. I realized that by truly experiencing everything, even the very challenging moments, I could learn and grow, thereby making even the challenging times some of the best:>)
It is an honor to have you for a friend as well....thank you for being you and sharing the gift of your friendship with me:>)
Apr 4 2013: Dear Colleen
As you have mentioned earlier, sometimes challenges themself are more important than the results…I think it is all about the way that we look at things…regarding Tony Robins life is about changes and the way that we compensate with those changes...I think he might be right..that is why people should concentrate on what is in their hands,,regarding Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life....
best regardsApr 7 2013: I agree Mohammad...it is all about the way we look at things....our attitude......perception of life...the ways we compensate and adjust to changes...the way we understand.....or not... with all the life adventures:>)Mar 30 2013: Problem is, Mohammad, most of them are very private.
Mar 30 2013: hi Pabirta
I know what you mean..but I think there are too much similarities among our best moments..maybe it is the time to reveal that...and know ourself better....to make a happier life..
lets share our best moments and do the same....we might experience the same feelings....
Kind regards

A major renovation project has been proposed for Kane Area High School.
The net project cost is estimated at nearly $7.9 million and would require a "net annual local effort" of $233,000 over the next 20 years. The estimated millage increase required for the project is 1.44 mills.
"We're going to pursue our options to see if we can afford it," long-time school board member Ken Kane said Tuesday evening following a meeting of the board's Operations/Finance Committee. "It's something we've got to look at."
BROOKVILLE — A Punxsutawney man who served as the jury foreman in the Steven Rebert double-homicide trial, which concluded late Friday, said the jury became deadlocked while deliberating whether or not Rebert should be put to death.
Rebert was sentenced to life in prison by Jefferson County President Judge John H. Foradora, after the jury could not come to a consensus as to whether or not he should be put to death in the murders of Wayne and Victoria Shugar, both 61, Brockway, who were found shot to death in their home April 12, 2010.
I recently received a letter from former Kane High School standout athlete Jim Chavez that I would like to share with you. I believe this really is a great little story for the community to share.
Jim was a 1966 graduate of Kane and has had the great pleasure of being able to talk with Joe Paterno, the former head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions football team who passed away recently.
BROOKVILLE – A hung jury sentenced former Emporium resident Stephen P. Rebert to life in prison for the shooting deaths of Brockway residents Wayne and Vicky Shugar, both 61, who were found dead April 12, 2010 in their Coal Tipple Road home.
The jury could not come to a unanimous decision on the death penalty, which was being sought by District Attorney Jeffrey Burkett. Eight jurors were for the death penalty and four for life, an automatic sentence of life in prison.
MT. JEWETT – The construction of two new medical facilities in Mt. Jewett is progressing and it won't be long before they're open-- with jobs for the area.
Kane Community Hospital is building a Mt. Jewett physician center along West Main Street near the Mt. Jewett Post Office in the "downtown" area.
The center will house the family medicine practices of Dr. Linda Rettger and Eric Asp, certified physicians' assistant. They now see patients at 5 Boyd St., Mt. Jewett.
The Kane Chamber of Commerce held its annual banquet Thursday to honor its "citizen-of-the-year" and its "business-of-the-year."
Over 65 attended the banquet at the Kane Country Club and applauded the presentation of awards to the late Jim Salvamoser as the "citizen-of-the-year" and the Kane Eagles Club as the "business-of-the-year."
It was a bittersweet tribute to Salvamoser, a long-time community leader who died unexpectedly last month.
SMETHPORT – Wetmore Township voters now will cast their ballots at the First Baptist Church complex at Hemlock Avenue and Route 321 near Kane Area High School.
In the past, township residents have voted at the township building along Spring Street in East Kane.
The McKean County Board of Commissioners acted Tuesday to move the Wetmore polling place from the township building to the church.
RIDGWAY – A nominating committee on Wednesday morning appointed Potter County Commissioner Douglas Morley as chairman of the executive committee of the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC].
Morley has served as chairman of Potter County's Board of Commissioners since he was seated in January 2008 and was successfully elected in November 2011 for a second term.
He has been an Allegany Township resident for the past 34 years, was a graduate of Northern Potter High School and attended Williamsport Area Community College.
JAMES CITY – A standing-room-only crowd of 79 attended a 75-minute forum Tuesday evening on the proposed closing of the James City Post Office.
U.S. Postal Service representatives Keith Corey and Junius "JJ" Johnson presided at the informational meeting at the Highland Township Fire Hall in James City.
Corey is the review coordinator at the Postal Service district office in Pittsburgh. Johnson is the manager of post office operations at the same location.
SMETHPORT – The McKean County Board of Commissioners took action Tuesday to add fees to deeds and mortgages to generate revenue for housing programs for low-income residents.
Under the proposal, a fee of $13.50 would be added to all deeds and mortgages handled by the county Recorder of Deeds.
From the additional fees raised, the county will receive 5 percent for administration costs.
The other 95 percent will go for low-income housing programs administered by the Bradford city Office of Economic and Community Development and the McKean County Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

Leaders Without Rules
Who enforces Christianity on Robertson?
by Steve Dupree
In the sports world, we frequently hear about a young man or woman stepping up and becoming a leader. Of course, the coach is hired to be a leader.
First and foremost, those leaders must know the rules. They must know the capabilities of each member who makes up the team. They must know when to cajole, and when to demand, to elicit the absolute best from the rest of the team. They must also be as fully aware as possible of the current situation in the contest so as to be able to effectively deal with opposing strategies and/or changes.
The military isn't so different. My description of the leaders in the sports world would easily apply to commissioned officers (coaches) and non-commissioned officers (on-field leaders). As a matter of fact, that description is apt for scout troops. It is apt, and utilized, in business. In a truly effective classroom setting, you can probably identify that leadership structure. I've certainly experienced it in corporate America, where it was used to good effect. Unfortunately, where it doesn't appear to be used is somewhere it is perhaps most needed.
A few weeks ago, Pat Robertson—an alleged Christian and Christian leader, a man with a politico-religious TV show with a respectably large viewership, a man who gets God-only-knows how much money sent to him whenever he begs for it on his TV show—this man, this face of Christianity in America—called for the assassination of the leader of Venezuela. I was struck temporarily speechless. Two of Christ's most basic admonitions, two pillars of the foundation of Christianity, came immediately to mind: "Thou shalt not kill," and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," as they were taught to me as a child.
Now, in my reading of the New Testament, it seems to expect some common sense. I don't know that it spells out all the permutations and variations like some latter-day legal document. I haven't read where it said "to include suggesting, advocating, or in any way facilitating actions that would knowingly result in the killing of another human." But I don't have to read that. I know that is what the spirit of any rule against killing in any doctrine means. If it didn't mean that, it would require a separate clause that stated just what was allowed. I suspect that most of you know that as well.
I have been criticized for some of my previous writings on the subject of alleged Christianity. Some of my siblings have accused me of unfairly attacking their faith and its followers. I, of course, do not see how they could have actually read the things I have written and still come to that conclusion. I don't know of one single thing that Christ is alleged to have said that upsets me. I cannot even imagine having a problem with someone who is truly attempting to follow the rules for life that Christ is said to have lain out.
As I've said before, when someone claims to be a Christian, what I hear is that they have a desire and intent to be like Christ, to the best of their ability. Surely that would involve doing as he suggested you must do if you want to be like him? I'm not the first one to have such a feeling. Gandhi said, "I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Others have made similar or related statements. They appear to have had no noticeable effect on those who deem themselves leaders of the religion.
All leaders lead with the permission of those being led.The reason one gives such permission is a belief that the leader is more capable of ensuring that one achieves whatever the stated goal is than is the follower, and possibly than other would-be leaders are. Throughout history we have seen incidents of mutiny. Politically, we refer to mutiny as "recall" or "impeachment," but the effect is still the same, which is to let an individual know that he or she no longer has permission of the led to lead.
It is past time for Pat Robertson and several other faux Christian leaders to experience such an uprising. Pat Robertson suggested in October 2003 that the State Department should be blown up with a small nuclear device.
Rather obviously, that suggestion violates Christian concepts of forgiveness. It flaunts disobedience of the admonition against killing. I rather doubt that he wants such a device to demolish him and his house, so I must conclude that for him, the Golden Rule is out the window as well. You don't have to kick him off the team, but clearly, he does not need to be a leader.
This all seems very odd to me. A football coach (leader) would be fired in a hurry if he clearly didn't know, or apparently didn't care about, the rules. In corporate America, having a boss (leader) who casually and openly flaunted laws or rules would have you seeking alternate employment because you would doubt the long-term viability of the company. But when it comes to your spiritual well being, when it comes to your eternal soul, you are willing to take the risk? Damn, I'm speechless again.

I've had conversations throughout our community in the past couple months about what people would like to see at our website and you may have noticed a few changes here and there.
I'm opening a week-long dialogue for suggestions from you and will be checking back here as much as possible.
Tell me what you like, what you don't like and what you would like to see added here at the website.
I look forward to your responses...I think.
Day 1 UPDATE:
Here's a list of suggestions so far. Please keep the conversation going, I don't see comments going away in the foreseeable future. "It takes a community...." can have more meaning than just raising children.
• Thumbs Up/Thumbs down option- This was mentioned several times and I agree it would be a great addition to our comments section. And it ties in with what our editorial board already does.
• Student blogs- We did try adding the announcements from a couple schools a few years back. I will see what we can do with the local schools.
• Fishing/Outdoor blog- Great idea and we will get something going soon.
• Sue Daugherty blog- She has one and we just started putting it online the past couple weeks. It can be found by clicking HERE
• Investment blog- Andy Waldock writes a weekly column and we will re-purpose it for online use as a blog.
• Good things blog- We started to post the Volunteer Center's column each week with volunteer opportunities, but I would welcome any further positive additions to our site. Anyone have any ideas on who could write it?
• Non-anonymous commenting (Not Facebook/Twitter-based): This is the big one and we are working on it. Thank you for the input.
• Get rid of Sharon Johnson blog- Sharon has a voice and puts her name behind her statements. She sparks dialogue and I don't see her going anywhere soon as we are looking to add to our site.

Why is it said that $\operatorname{sech}x$ (a transmission amplitude) has a simple pole on the imaginary axis?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free.
To have a simple pole at $a$ means that $f(z) \sim 1/(z-a)^{n}$, with $n=1$. I.e., the function does not diverge with $1/z^2$ or a larger power.
For more details on the poles of $\operatorname{sech}(z)$, check out this answer. As simple as the poles of $\operatorname{sech}(z)$ may be, there is an infinite amount of them (as many as there are zeroes to $\operatorname{cosh}(z)$).

BBC Engulfed In 2nd Crisis Within Weeks
Originally published on Mon November 12, 2012 5:42 pm
Let's look now at the impact of some shocking revelations on the other side of the Atlantic. Britain's media has had a pretty rough year. First, the phone-hacking scandal that led to the closure of Rupert Murdoch's popular tabloid News of the World. Now the esteemed BBC is in trouble. Over the weekend, the head of the BBC resigned, plunging the world's largest public broadcaster into its second crisis within weeks. NPR's Philip Reeves has more.
PHILIP REEVES, BYLINE: Listen to this conversation. It's between a journalist and his editor - his editor-in-chief, actually. At issue is a big mistake that someone's made.
GEORGE ENTWISTLE: This tweet, I am afraid, was not brought to my attention. So I found out about this film after it had gone out. Now, to find out what happened...
JOHN HUMPHRYS: So, when did you find out? When did you find out?
ENTWISTLE: I found out about the film the following day.
HUMPHRYS: The following day? You didn't see it that night when it was broadcast?
ENTWISTLE: No, I was out.
REEVES: You'd think the editor-in-chief was the one doing the bawling-out, right? Isn't that what usually happens when someone's messed up? It's the other way round. The man asking the tough questions is John Humphrys, an anchor on the BBC's radio program, "Today." The guy taking the heat is George Entwistle, who was, when this exchange took place, the BBC's director-general. It gets worse.
ENTWISTLE: The second this was brought to my attention last night, I immediately started...
HUMPHRYS: Brought to your attention? Do you not read papers? Do you not look, do you not listen to the output?
ENTWISTLE: I saw this break on the Web, John. That's where I saw this. It's not a question of it being in the papers. But the second I saw it, I started to make the inquiries.
HUMPHRYS: Did you see the Guardian yesterday morning?
REEVES: That interview, broadcast by the BBC in Britain this weekend, sealed Entwistle's fate. Entwistle resigned on Saturday. He'd been on the job just eight weeks. Much of his time as director-general was spent struggling to contain a scandal over allegations that a now-dead BBC television presenter, Jimmy Savile, was a serial child sex abuser. But the trigger for Entwistle's departure was an editorial blunder. It happened on the BBC's prestigious current affairs TV show, "Newsnight," and became the show's lead story.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: A new crisis for "Newsnight." Tonight, this program apologizes. A key allegation in a report about child abuse was wrong. The abuse victim says he was mistaken.
REEVES: That baseless accusation of child abuse was leveled at Alistair McAlpine. McAlpine used to be a senior conservative party politician and close adviser to Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He wasn't identified by "Newsnight," but McAlpine's name came out on the Internet.
His accuser said the abuse happened while he was at a children's home in the 1970s and '80s. He was not shown McAlpine's picture until after the allegations aired. When he saw one afterwards, he admitted his mistake and apologized. "Newsnight" did not put the allegations to McAlpine himself before airing them.
Historically, the BBC enjoys a reputation for top-quality journalism, earning a generally high degree of trust from its huge audience at home and abroad. It's now scrambling to limit the damage to that reputation. Chris Patten, chairman of the BBC's governing body, the BBC Trust, spent his Sunday touring TV studios. He told the BBC's "Andrew Marr Show" the erroneous "Newsnight" film was actually approved at a senior level.
CHRIS PATTEN: Apparently, decisions about the program went up through every damned layer of BBC management, bureaucracy, legal checks, and still emerged.
REEVES: Patten says there's a need for some serious editorial reforms.
PATTEN: If you're saying: Does the BBC need a thorough structural radical overhaul, then absolutely it does.
REEVES: This crisis is entwined with the earlier scandal over Jimmy Savile. The BBC is already under fire over a decision to drop an investigation - again by "Newsnight" - into Savile's alleged widespread child abuse. That's now the subject of multiple investigations. The BBC's mostly paid for by the British taxpayer. It enjoys a huge chunk of Britain's media market. Commercial rivals want the BBC cut down to size. They often gleefully highlight the BBC's blunders. This latest crisis is not a threat to the BBC's survival, but it has raised big questions about journalistic standards in the modern age.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 27, 2013 – Free outdoor Wi-Fi becomes a reality for the City of Santa Clara this week, with citywide access launched by Silicon Valley Power (SVP) as part of its SVP MeterConnectSM program. Santa Clara is the first city in the country to provide free outdoor Wi-Fi access for an entire community as part of an advanced electric meter upgrade program that uses wireless technology to read meters. SVP is the City's municipal electric utility.
Information about the Wi-Fi access system is available at santaclarafreewifi.com. Users will see the network identifier (SSID) "SVPMeterConnectWiFi" when they log in. SVP expects over 5,000 connections a day.
"This is just one of the major benefits our community will enjoy as a result of our advanced metering technology," said John Roukema, director of SVP. "Now our residents, visitors and local workforce can get Internet access while waiting for a train, shopping downtown, getting their car washed or relaxing in their yard."
When advanced meters are installed at residences starting late this year, electricity and water usage information will be highly encrypted and sent via wireless network. Security on this part of the system mimics that of banking and national defense institutions. The technology will also spot outages quickly and help customers monitor their own electricity usage.
