Augusta National Golf Club is the Greta Garbo of golf, hiding behind a private entrance like a movie star. But every now and again, the chairman of the Masters tournament makes an announcement. Not frequently. About as often as it snows in July.
Last spring, when it became apparent that the recent improvements in golf equipment allowed nearly every player to hit driver-wedge to what used to be driver-middle or long iron holes at every tournament, the Augusta National membership decided to make some alterations to their Sistine Chapel. The word came down from Hootie Johnson, chairman of the club, who said just before this year's Masters, that they had decided to make some changes to the golf course.
Johnson said the club intended "to make extensive changes in an attempt to strengthen some of our par-4s.'' But apparently they aren't stopping there.
The Augusta Chronicle, ever alert for news at Augusta National, heard that digging was taking place and rented a helicopter to do surveillance work. Copter-cam snagged construction photos around five holes and noted additional surprise renovations, ones that had not been announced.
What the chopper saw was that the first and 10th tees were torn up, and the practice putting green which used to be next to them was obliterated. Number one and ten are both par fours. Unfortunately, the only way to get more length for those holes is to extend the tees, and the only extension area available was the putting green. Some of the green may eventually return, but it may also be gone forever. We will have to wait until next spring to see.
The tenth hole was lengthened many years ago, so much so that the fairway bunkers that are there now are remnants of what were once greenside bunkers. Since the green is near the beginning of the eleventh fairway, it is hard to extend it farther. The tee is the only place where length can be added. If they have to go back any more, they'll be playing from the second story of one of the clubs "cabins."
Tees on the 14th and 18th holes are also being redone. However, at both of those locations, the club faces challenges.
Although most reports say that the 14th is backed up nearly as far as there is land available. There is land, but it includes a steep slope and Rae's Creek. The Augusta Chronicle indicated that Tom Fazio, who is in charge of the land massage, may be increasing the angle of the tee shot at 14 to put more muscle in the hole, which is now a slight dogleg left.
The 18th, where bunkers were placed to stop Jack Nicklaus's shots more than 30 years ago, is also being lengthened. The tee currently sits immediately behind the 17th green. There is some space behind the current tee, which is built out on a severe side hill. Like the 10th hole, its maximum length would put it next to number eleven fairway. They probably have 30 or 40 yards to play with, and if they backed it up that far, the tee shot would be an imposing one. They probably won't make it that hard, although they should if they want to make the second shot a middle iron.
A surprise renovation is taking place at the eighth hole, a par five that is severely uphill. The aerials show changes at the tee, the landing area and f airway bunker. To stop today's players, they should forget the bunker go for a real hazard, something like barbed wire.
According to the Augusta Chronicle, golf course architect Tom Fazio worked with Hootie Johnson, studying the trajectory, shape, carry and roll of each tee shot over the last few years to figure out how to mount a challenge for today's players. Un- huh. Will they figure that out before or after they have to raise the net at the end of the practice range yet another time?
The new course will probably be over 7,000 yards, but it is already at 6985. So that is only an increase of 115 yards, over all. There are 10 players who AVERAGE drives of 289 yards or better on the PGA Tour. What good does 115 yards do? Maybe it helps if it's spread over three holes, but five yards here and ten yards there is nothing to today's best players. Nothing. That's less than the changes in tee blocks from day to day in a regular event.
To make a big difference at Augusta National, the club would have to add thirty yards to several holes or make some of the par fives par fours. They could make the second, eighth and the 13th par fours but that would change history, scoring and the great measuring sticks that have been created by all the golfers of the past, Ben Hogan (274), Jack Nicklaus (271) and Tiger Woods (270), each a record-setter for his time. It would be a par 69. What fun is that? If possible, it needs to stay a par 72.
Since no one can turn back the equipment changes, and even Augusta National doesn't want to make the greens any faster (they would be truly unputtable), they are left with the only remaining choice, adding length. Their situation is compounded by the fact that, eventually, even Augusta National will run out of real estate.
One interesting option was suggested last spring by a sportswriter, and it was an interesting concept: The club could insist that everyone play the tournament with a particular golf ball. A pre Pro V1, pre Nike Tour Accuracy model. The reason the writer suggested it was that Augusta National is about the only place that could get away with something like that and still have people show up for the event. If these recent changes aren't enough -- and they probably won't be -- a tournament ball may be the only way to stop the assault on par.

Bob Lutz does a Sarah Palin on global warming
Just as McCain has tried to muzzle his Vice-Presidential denier, so too has GM tried to muzzle its Vice Chair denier.
McCain didn't succeed (see Palin on CBS: "I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate" and Palin in debate STILL gets global warming backwards). And GM hasn't done much better, at least on The Colbert Report (see GM's Lutz is nuts).
Lutz has now adopted one Palin strategy. If you don't want to or simply can't answer a question, then don't. Here is GM's Vice Chair of Global Product Development on 60 Minutes yesterday:
Speaking about his own personal carbon footprint, Lutz acknowledges he and his wife own two helicopters and two jets.
"You have a terrible reputation with environmentalists, as you well know," Stahl points out.
"Well, actually some of them like me but go ahead…," Lutz replies.
"Well they don't like what you said about global warming," Stahl says. "Do you want to repeat what you said about global warming?"
"Of course not, because this is a family network," Lutz says.
"You don't think there's global warming? Is that really true?" Stahl asks.
"I'm not going to get into this. Because…," Lutz replies.
"Because you got into so much trouble when you said it the first time?" Stahl asks.
"That could be right. Yeah," Lutz admits.
What Lutz said in January is, "man-made global warming is a crock of s…t." So he's no environmentalist.
And remember, this guy is just a heartbeat away from the chairmanship of General Motors.
Perhaps GM could take a lesson from the McCain campaign and just stop sending Lutz out to talk to the media. Is there really nobody else in the entire company who can talk to the media about electric cars, plug ins, and the Chevy Volt?

I guess they're figuring that consumers will make their choice based on personality, rather than issues…
Outstanding article!
This is Not the John McCain New Hampshire Once Loved
…More to the point, he continues almost daily to demonstrate that instability and other judgmental and temperamental concerns, issues and complaints that originally brought a slew of challengers into the Republican primary contests. And in the most important decision of his candidacy, he cynically and irresponsibly chose the supremely unqualified Sarah Palin, cheapening the race as if it were some high school popularity contest or the latest "American Idol" competition.
Human history is full of doomsday scares that were eventually shown to be either grossly exaggerated or completely wrong. There is no reason to believe that the current hype over CO2 is any different. In fact, anyone who believes otherwise better hope they are wrong because the ongoing financial meltdown/recession will put an end to any discussion of anything other than feel good measures that accomplish nothing.
"Human history is full of doomsday scares that were eventually shown to be either grossly exaggerated or completely wrong."
Who is talking "doomsday"? Not "doomsday", but a very severe crisis that left unchecked and unmitigated will, in all likelihood, constrain the social development of Humans.
Also, your premise about "doomsday", if by what you mean is collapse, death, and disbandment of social structures that hold civilisation together, then you are utterly wrong. In fact, for almost our entire history, humans have been scratching out an existence one step away of extinction, sometimes, no doubt, due in part to changes in the past in earth's climate. No humans, until about 7000 years ago, even had civilisations. Since then, the majority of human civilisations have collapsed. The global civilisation we have now isn't likely going to collapse like previous civilisations though. That doesn't mean that what it becomes will be better that what we have now, or equal to what we imagine a future might be.
The reasons people who know more than you (most experts on the subject) are concerned is because their theories and their evidence, subjected to a scientific questioning unparalled in human history, have identified great RISKS in allowing carbon dioxide concentrations to rise further in the atmosphere.
People who can only deal in certainty, who idiotically theorise that "there is no reason to believe" only because some see no problems, cannot possibly make any sensible contribution to any discussion on any topic of controversy.
Human history is full of doomsday scares that were real and shown to be either grossly under exaggerated or completely catastrophic!
The AGW Climate Change crisis is hurting already.
Wall Street and the climate crisis
As we confront global climate change – perhaps the biggest challenge mankind has ever faced – business and government leaders have an opportunity to learn from the Wall Street debacle and get it right.
Direct Climate Change Action Now!
forget climate change for a moment; this guy's job relates to GM's balance sheet.
On that criteria alone, he has been a miserable failure. GM is getting killed right now, in large part because they are way behind in the R&D pipeline to produce fuel-efficient vehicles.
So he should be fired immediately for that reason. The fact that he's an AGW denier isn't specifically related to his poor job performance, although it does give you an idea about his obstinance (he also claims to have been completely blindsided by rising gas prices, as if no one had ever predicted that).
I actually think its pretty good news when a climate skeptic turns to electric cars out of pure necessity, see:
Lutz: "Even as we face the Grim Reaper, we would still be spending money on the Volt."
Thats commitment, so who cares whether he's a denier or not. The threat of global warming is not gonna win this game short term – self preservation is.
Harry Shearer is behind this Sarah Palin music video "Bridge to Nowhere":
> Human history is full of doomsday scares that were eventually shown to be either grossly exaggerated or completely wrong.
Perhaps you are thinking of the plague, which swept Europe in the 1400's and killed an estimated 75 million people. Oops, I guess that would be a counterexample :-)
Last century had a few low spots.
Two World Wars, the 1918 Pandemic and I remember something called the Cuban Missile Crisis that was a "doomsday" that didn't happen, but came far too close for comfort….
War and past pandemics were not disasters "predicted" by doomsayers. They just happened. If you want to use disease as an example look at the BSE, SARS and bird flu scares – both turned out to be grossly exagerrated concerns after the fact.
Raven, some disasters have been grossly exaggerated and others have not. The vulnerability of New Orleans to hurricane damage is an example of a disaster that was not exaggerated; the Y2K anxiety is an example of one that was. So the critical part of your statement is the 'there is no reason to believe' part. If you are convinced 'there is no reason to believe,' I suggest you visit "The Great Global Warming Debate" at http://cce.890m.com/ If you really examine the evidence, you will find that there is every reason to believe this threat is real and the consequences of inaction could be very unpleasant and long lasting. When you consider how much is at stake, ask yourself if there is a chance you could be wrong? Wonderingmind42 has created a series of videos exploring the question of risk management as it relates to global climate change. He side-steps the issue of 'is it real or is it not' and looks at risks involved in taking action versus inaction. His videos are catalogued at http://www.manpollo.org/ If none of this convinces you, have a look at the stream of scientific studies relating to the causes and effects of global warming as they are continuously summarized at Science Daily http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/earth_climate/global_warming/
"Human history is full of doomsday scares that were eventually shown to be either grossly exaggerated or completely wrong. There is no reason to believe that the current hype over CO2 is any different. "
Plenty of examples such as wild-eyed guys walking the sidewalk with "The End is Neigh!" signs, fears of invasions from Mars, yep, we got those.
How about some examples of "doomsday scares" that had the backing of the vast majority of experts in the field, all major scientific organizations, and the world's governments?
Oh, yeah, make sure those "doomsday scares" you site were also backed by solid data to prove that at one point they were well underway but failed.
You know stuff like polar ice melting, glaciers retreating, vegetation moving higher up the mountains and further toward the poles, oceans rising, spring coming earlier, animals moving to previously cooler places, ….
Lutz is an idiot. I watched the 60 minutes program. This man owns planes and copters but can't get his nasty front teeth fixed. Moron. Beyond the obvious character flaws/limits, this stupid man has the audacity to waste any amount of time on the program discussing how they can have a CD with audio tracks of your favorite car sound given the lack of engine noise in the new volt. Not only is this juvenile, it demonstrates that this man has no business in the car business. Even mentioning such a ridiculous and trivial thing in these times of economic strife and utter theft by the likes of who he probably golfs with on a regular basis, it is both insulting and demeaning to the public. Lutz should be Sh*t canned now! The volt is going to be the worst product in the new line up of high efficiency vehicles. The vehicle's current MPG rating can be as low as 50MPG depending on distance driven. While I agree with a 40 mile range electric, and all the stats of how this will cover most people's driving habits, the reality is that there are many new players coming into the automotive business that are at least claiming that they will achieve 100mpg rating. And if that's not enough, there are kits that can convert existing parallel hybrids to plug-in and increased range leading so a similar 100mpg rating. All of the evidence, plus the likely 40K price tag for the volt leads to one big conclusion. GM will fail… AGAIN. Just look at their performance now! They are gettin pretty good at this! It's time GM's stockholders wake up. It's time to burn down the mission! Fire Lutz before it's too late! Get someone in there who can turn the volt project around before it's batteries are dead on arrival, or the sequel movie will be titled: "The Electric car killed who??"

The menstrual community on Twitter keeps growing. Individuals, social action initiatives, non-profits, menstrual product companies and other organizations are sharing information and talking about the menstrual cycle and the menstrual experience.
Here's a short list of menstrual-related Twitter accounts you may want to follow:
@AuntFlo28 Tweets about menarche and promotes menstruation as something that should not be medicalized. She invites followers to take part in a poll asking at what age you got your period.
Via Twitter message (how else?) Kylie Matthews said, "I launched the poll as a way to gather data, but more importantly start conversations about #Menarche. For far too many women the experience was not a positive one. It is my hope that reflecting on one's own positive or negative experiences (and ideally conversing with others!) will help move toward efforts to make things better for the next generation."
Last Wednesday, Sep. 9, 2015, @AuntFlo28 co-hosted #Menarche_PCOS_Talk with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome advocate @PCOSGurl who includes menstrual information in her Twitter advocacy to improve education and outcomes for women with PCOS (or Anovulatory Androgen Excess).
@bpreparedperiod helps "women and girls go with the flo," and offers resources and tips for parents to help them help their daughters prepare for menstruation.
SMCR member Chella Quint tweets @periodpositive where the goal is to be "funny w/o insulting menstruators of all genders, challenges taboos, reclaims discourse."
Suzann @periodwise says on her Twitter profile, "Let's end menstrual taboos right here, right now." She tweets on all things menstrual, complemented by the Period Wise website and blog.
New on the Twitter feed is @LtsFaceItPeriod which launched the #LetsFaceItPeriod campaign on Sep. 1, 2015. You can read about the social action initiative at Lady Clever: Let's Face It. Period Breaks Down Menstrual Taboos.
This is just a small sampling of those on Twitter talking about periods. If you follow a few menstrual communicators not mentioned here, please post their Twitter handles in the comments section and tell us a little bit about them.

The Spanish star, who arrived from Rayo Vallecano in the summer, hit a brace at QPR at the start of a sensational season which also saw him score in another 5-0 rout, the Wembley final against Bradford City.
"I was [surprised that Michu wasn't a contender for the PFA Player of the Year award] because we won something - domestically there are three titles, the league, the FA Cup and the League Cup and we won one of them," Laudrup told Eurosport-Yahoo!
"Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez are outstanding players, but they didn't win anything.
"I'm not saying Michu is better than these two - he's not - but I am asking: what are the criteria when we nominate someone for an award like that?
"Do you look at a player who has had an influence on their team? Won a title? Or a player who has been outstanding individually, even if his club hasn't won anything?"
However Laudrup did acknowledge that winner Bale's outstanding campaign made him deserving of the award.
"I think Gareth Bale has been outstanding, and Robin van Persie as well has been fantastic - and very important in Manchester United winning the title. So I think those two [were the best]."
And as for the manager who has most impressed him this year, there is only one name in the frame for the Dane.
"If I had to pick one, I have to go for Sir Alex Ferguson. There were three teams who could win the title, the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea, and United won by far.
"Even if I always say the players are the most important, I think in this case the manager is the most important as well. He has done it year after year after year, so credit to him."
For more from Laudrup ahead of Swansea's final match of the season at home to Fulham, watch the full video above.

We never knew anyone more in love than Kevin and Lisa Spedaliere. The family that they created together is a beautiful one. One with so much love and support. With the recent passing of husband and father, Kevin Spedaliere, we are asking for any support that you can offer. Unfortunately being in Real Estate does not provide any type of financial support during times like these. As we all know, funeral expenses are high and other household expenses can add up quickly. If you are not able to help out with funds please give your love and support to the family during this difficult time.
Thank you everyone who has donated so far! We are already at $1935 in just 7 hours! Lisa and the girls are feeling very loved. We have a goal of $5000 so only $3065 to go! WE CAN DO IT!! Also, today their washing machine BROKE and it cannot be repaired :( Please help in anyway you can to help them get back on their feet.

Fun series with a bunch of weapons I was not familiar with.
I'm sure experts will have some bones to pick with some stuff, but the only issue I have with the series is that a lot of the grouping seemed forced--really disparate weapons that don't rank well against each other, except in the Sniper Rifle and Close Quarter Battle episodes. Also, mention "Heavy Metal" military machines and I'm right there, although this was another episode in which the comparisons seemed odd and forced.
Still, I'm much more interested in the weapons than in the ratings, so the whole ranking bit didn't matter to me. Just watch it as a brief introduction to a lot of weapons that most people won't know about, and you will probably find it rewarding.

Gary Patterson focused on football
Originally Published: December 27, 2010By Pat Forde | ESPN.com
FORT WORTH, Texas -- To his apparent chagrin, Gary Patterson has a visitor.
It's a November Friday, and Patterson's Texas Christian Horned Frogs have a big home game the next day. There is stuff to do. And here is this reporter sitting in his office, every bit as helpful to the daily work schedule as termites are to a wooden desk.
The reporter asks questions about TCU's unbeaten season. Patterson gives distracted answers while scribbling notes on his depth chart.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- At one point during his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs, Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez griped about his lack of touches.
He didn't pull a teammate aside. He didn't ask to meet one-on-one with a coach.
Instead, Gonzalez used a tactic he instantly regretted: He went to the media.
"They put it on the front page," Gonzalez said. "They said, 'I want the ball.' That was the front in big, bold black letters. It's a shame that it comes off like that. I was young back then too. I didn't know they were going to print it like that.
"But in my defense, I'm a competitor. You feel like you can help the team out. It was never a selfish thing. And now, it would be silly for me to say something like that."
The subject of Gonzalez's touches indirectly came up Thursday. During last week's loss at Miami, he caught four passes on the Falcons' opening drive that ended with Matt Ryan's 7-yard touchdown connection with Jason Snelling. Gonzalez was targeted just one more time the remainder of the game.
"When you have so many weapons like this, nobody can afford to be like, 'Hey, you've got to throw me the ball in order for us to win.' I'm not going to take that attitude because I know the caliber and the talent that we have on here," Gonzalez said. "It might have been different when I was in Kansas City. I would have come to you and been like, 'Yeah, I think I probably need to get the ball a little bit more.' But with the guys we have on this team, it's not like that at all.
"I will play whatever play is called. And if Matt puts the ball in the air, I will try my [hardest] to make the catch. And hopefully I can help this team win."
Although Gonzalez exited the Miami game for a play after banging his head, he said there was no concern about a concussion. And he said getting dinged up didn't affect his performance.
"Just got the bell rung," Gonzalez said. "If I was in fight, somebody hit me right in the head on that sweet spot. ... It was just a little bit of dizziness."
With no health concerns, Gonzalez seems poised to have an impact Sunday night against the Patriots. So what would it take to get him back on track?
Maybe more touches, though he refuses to lobby for them. He stands second on the team in receptions with 11, 16 fewer than Julio Jones (27) and one better than running back Jason Snelling (10). Gonzalez has been targeted 19 times, second behind Jones (35).
The Falcons have struggled in the red zone, and Gonzalez would seem to be the ideal remedy because of his size and veteran savvy. But he's not going to demand the ball.
"When you're competitive player, you want the ball," Gonzalez said. "Don't get me wrong: I want the ball. But it's not a situation where I'm going to go to Matt or going to the coordinator or to anybody and say, 'Hey, they need to throw me the ball.'
"When the time comes -- and I know it will come -- they're going to call my number. It's going to happen throughout the game this week, next week. As long as I'm playing as a Falcon, it's going to happen. So I've got to make sure that I'm ready to step and make that play when it comes."

Some historians referred to it as the greatest real estate deal (or steal) of all times. Others called it a stroke of Jeffersonian genius.
In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States. With one stroke of the pen, our country became one of the largest in the world.
To honor the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase, a new 37-cent stamp will be released April 30 with first-day ceremonies in New Orleans.
France had originally claimed Louisiana, a vast tract of land west of the Mississippi, but ceded it to Spain in 1762. However, on Oct. 1, 1800, Spain secretly transferred the land back to France.
President Thomas Jefferson learned of the transfer in 1801. He sent U.S. Minister to France Robert R. Livingston to negotiate for at least the port of New Orleans. In January 1803, Jefferson sent James Monroe to France with an appropriation from Congress to buy not only New Orleans but all of Florida, if possible.
An agreed price of $15 million was negotiated. In early May, a treaty sealed the transaction.

Who Has The Bigger Profile : Ortiz Or Khan?
First of all Ortiz was Goldenboy's goldenboy, Until he quit against Maidana and started to laugh and joke about the no-mas like a goofy kid, Oscar and GBP clearly lost alot of money on Ortiz, Ortiz then took a backseat and Khan who they just recently signed became Goldenboys goldenboy, The wins over Malignaggi and Maidana helped maintain that, Then Victor beats Andre Berto in what was a thrilling fight while Khan had a stagnant fight against McCLoskey, Ortiz was rewarded with a fight against Mayweather.
Now Ortiz has massive support in the US, Not just that but he is big in the Spanish speaking world, Mexico, South America and the others. Khan is hated to say the least in the UK because of his ethnic background and the fact that Asians dominate business in the UK, But Khan does have solid support amongst the Asian nations like Pakistan and the Philipines and the middle east.
So out of these two who has the larger fanbase and popularity?

Kahn is the most high profile boxer in the UK, he has a small minority of haters. No one cared about Ortiz til he got the Mayweather fight.

Khan is actually well known in the asian countries, I know he gets interviewed by pakistani channels and the phillipines know who he is cuz he trains with manny and there good friends. also khan's training, press conference vids etc are shown on the manny pacquiao website.

I would say Khan's fanbase is largely UK and a small minority Asian based. He is growing in stature in the States and he's only just beginning to take root.
Ortiz on the other hand has a strong US fanbase and a strong Mexican fanbase at the same time and on the back of that he is MASSIVE in the US compared to Khan.
The US is where Khan needs to be MASSIVE. Ortiz doesn't need that. He's happy where he is in California, Mexico :P
Ortiz could NEVER sell a PPV off his own name in Europe.

Ortiz because he isn't from UK. So he is more known. That and he is chicano, so he has that angle to work.

"In the first segment of our exclusive Steve Ballmer interview series, the Microsoft CEO and I talk about Natal, the blurring of console generations, and the surprising assertion that "you'll be able to get" Blu-ray add-on drives for Xbox 360.
Now , what did steve say? ANYONE? lol
I think he said BLUE RAY FOR ALL XBOX 360!
Think the cats out the bag (been out the bag), but they want to test the waters with the revenue income with the live service.
This way you can't actually OWN something, you will be paying to view , THERE movies.
I don't think this will take off , because people usually want a physical form. I can't loan my copy of a movie that's on live, but I can loan and resale a physical disc. This makes retailers compete with USED copies.
If theres no used copies, they can charge full price forever.

Seriously, even on Unlimited broadband plans many (especially in the UK) have a limit to how much data can be transfered per day/week/month and although the 'typical' user won't go over it a lot of people do, i can go over my 20mb Virgin threshold within a couple hours with people in the house using youtube, live and other high bandwidth services. 1080p is just going to kill it.

Yeah... because that is totally the same as owning it on disk to play ANYWHERE. And as many times as I want.
Of course BR will not be on the 360....why when they can come out with another console that will have it. The streaming or downloading will due until then.

Posted 23 October 2009 - 04:20 AM
I have my BR discs and ill still use them on my BRplayer. Ill not stream your s**t. I can watch movies in my country house -where i dont have internet- with my simple player.
Still, xbox live in brazil SUCKS!! actually we dont have it here yet after 3yr of x360 release. I like my xbox360 original because i play in US live. But I recommend everyone here that dont want to use US live to crack their xboxes. Xbox without live = nothing... its like a simple n64, ps1, with very improved graphics...
I still cant believe there are people that still prefer digital media! IT SUCKS! Go sell a game that you didnt like or that you dont want anymore. You cant, crap. Even thou, I prefer collecting my movies and game boxes...
BR player for xbox360 would be expensive because M$ multiply the price of its acessories by 10

royalties sucks huh M$? They are trying to make Blu ray useless because they lost the HD media format battle.

Congradulations on being Published. As a fellow author, "Project: Sentinel" &"Run from Ramadi" I can feel your pain. When I wrote my first one it was a spur of the moment
thing. I have been reading and enjoying Adventure/fiction for a long time and as I was sitting there in front of my computer one day I thought "Hey I think I can do that" so I did
and then once it was published I sat down and wrote the second one just to prove to myself that I wasn't some flash in the pan. I was embarrased at first to tell anyone that I
was writing a book but once some of my friends found out and continued to encourage me, well after that I wasn't embarrased any longer. Good luck with your book and I promise
I will order and read it soon.

I need to setup an "cold fail over" to our database server. Since we cannot run an real HA because an software issue, I'm planning to connect 2 server to a single storage. If main server fails, I just need to start database service in second, as database files are "shared" on storage.
I that possible? I think NAS isn't an option because I need maximum IO speed.
Our preferred vendor is DELL, but you can suggest me other.

29 year old woman | Fresno, CA, United States | Seeking men 25-32 within 50 miles
Only one is a wanderer; two together are always going somewhere.
I'm old-soul and progressive at the same time, a creature of habit who likes to push myself to be spontaneous. I'm a writer, so I enjoy getting to know people, and good conversations. I'm also a third-year graduate student at Fresno State, earning my Master of Fine Arts in fiction. I love to read everything: poetry, plays, short stories, novels, memoirs, all of it! Along with that, I love the ocean, singing, all kinds of movies and music, good food, good wine. I'm looking for someone who's confident, passionate, driven, and kind--someone I can spend time with and really get to know.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Dancing, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Other
My family loves English Cocker Spaniels, and now we have two of them! 6-month ivory-colored males with fawn-colored freckles, Sammy and Teddy. They're almost too cute.
Middle of the Road
In Fresno: Body in the Bog pub, Pinot Wine Bar, Doghouse Grill, Elbow Room, Daily Grill. Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel are my absolute favorite places to go--I'm happiest on the Central Coast! I also love Shaver Lake, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, and NY.
Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA
Old movies, anything Hitchcock, foreign films (esp Italian and Norweigian), smart rom-coms; jazz music (Coltrant, Davis), Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Eric Clapton, Karen Carpenter, basically any kind; Big Bang Theory, Everybody Loves Raymond, etc.
I love to go out eating, drinking, or dancing with friends. I also really like to sing karaoke, try new things, go wine-tasting. Travelling (everywhere!) is one of my favorite things to do.
"Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies" by Donald Spoto; before that, read "Misfit" and "November 22, 1963" by Adam Braver.

Is it possible to source a shell file when entering a directory, and unsource it when I leave? I.e. certain project directories would be really useful to autoload some command aliases, but only in that context.
You can define precmd or preexec hook function to setup such customization. Not sure which one is better in your case. So if the command is cd or chdir, do something you want. The cmdline is a single arg that will be passed to your hook function so you need to do some parsing.

This soup is GREAT!!!! My DH says this is now his favorite soup. Added 3/4 cup homemade salsa ( Chili's Salsa-59635). Sprinkled some cumin, garlic and onion powder into the soup. Served with baked corn tortilla wedges. We plan on having this once a week now. If you are looking for a delicious, quick, healthy soup, (and you love Cilantro) I highly recommend this.
Okay - super improvised on this recipe. Made 1/2 recipe - did not use broth (wanted it thicker), usually make my own chili powder but am out so simply added seasons I knew I would like (onion, garlic, cumin, and some salt.) served it over crushed tortilla chips and ended up having to share because it filled me smooth up to the top. filling, yummy, and will make again.
Great soup and so easy! Even better the next day. I made it with vegetable broth for my vegetarian daughter. Also added greated cheese as a garnish.
This took minutes to make and tasted so good - Loved it. I used cottage cheese instead of sour cream and I put minced frozen cilantro cubes (2 tsp) into the soup. Only made half the recipe and I am sure sorry - I Will be making it againn
Yum!Quick and delicious!Thank you!
This was the first non-meat dinner my teens actually ask for again and again. I like to cook the onions, and if using dry cilantro, I do the same.
This was delicious. I added a small pile of ready-made package rice to my bowl, then ladled on the soup. I added a squirt of fresh lime juice with the other toppings. A fast and tasty meal. Very good.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2011
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:52:56.
Courses taught by Charles Waldheim
03541: Proseminar in Landscape Architecture (DES 0354100)
Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday 11:30 - 2:00 Gund 318
Gareth Doherty, Charles Waldheim
Course Description
This course surveys multiple definitions of landscape architecture. Rather than seeking a singular understanding, the seminar postulates that landscape might be understood in relation to other terms across an expanded disciplinary and professional field. The course will pursue multiple provisional working definitions of landscape as a method to describe landscape architecture as a contemporary cultural form. The first of these definitions distinguishes between landscape as medium, secondly we will address landscape as discipline, and thirdly landscape as profession. Beginning with the course introduction and inquiry into the origins of the word itself, the seminar is organized into a series of weekly rhetorical questions. These questions are built upon Garrett Eckbo's 1983 essay entitled "Is Landscape Architecture?" Following from Eckbo's rhetorical questioning, we will ask similarly charged questions weekly in order to unpack landscape's luggage.Over the semester members of the seminar will be introduced to a range of ideas, authors, agents, and actors shaping the contemporary field of landscape architecture. Members will also come to know the research and creative practice of many faculty members currently constituting the Department of Landscape Architecture at the GSD, as well as a range of leading figures nationally. Through a series of readings, seminar discussions, and presentations by visitors, members of the seminar will be introduced to the study of landscape architecture at Harvard and be invited to articulate their own academic experiences, intellectual commitments, and professional aspirations.
03581: MDesS Research Methods in Urbanism (DES 0358100)
Landscape Architecture
Seminar - 4 credits
Tuesday 3:00 - 6:00 40 Kirkland 1C
Charles Waldheim, Jason Rebillot
Course Description
This seminar traces the breadth of approaches to urban research across the disciplines represented at the GSD. It surveys the complex, and often contradictory ideological and methodological assumptions attendant to various forms of scholarly and disciplinary research. From humanities-based urban history on the one hand through quantitative social science analysis on the other, the seminar will expose students to divergent paradigms of urban research. These paradigms include the projective tendencies of the architectural discipline, the empirical impulse in mapping and geography, the narrative tradition of urban writing, and the recent tradition of the 'retroactive manifesto,' among others. The seminar will invite selected DDes students and all incoming MDesS students in the Urbanism, Landscape, Ecology concentration area to identify a disciplinary basis and body of knowledge from which to articulate their own methodological agenda for research.Each participant in the course is expected to complete readings, participate in discussions, and complete a fully considered research proposal, with particular attention given to the methodological approaches and analytical goals that the participant seeks to accomplish during the course of their MDesS degree completion. This semester-long, multi-layered investigation will involve the production of verbal, visual, and textual components.
09504: Thesis in Satisfaction of the Degree Doctor of Design (ADV 0950400)
Independent Study - 16 credits
Martin Bechthold, Christoph Reinhart, Anita Berrizbeitia, Richard Peiser, Peter Rowe, A. Hashim Sarkis, Charles Waldheim, Spiro Pollalis
Course Description

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay Specialty
It takes a very long time for this Palm Springs poolside orgy to really take off. An hour to be exact, before the fucking really starts and the editing slows down to a more watchable, enjoyable pace. Up until then there are 28 men in various sun-drenched suck-offs in the water and around the beautiful grounds, complete with a logistics-straining, full-cast suck-chain (though it's difficult to fully appreciate many of these sun-bleached bodies doing their thing due to the energetic editing). Beefy cutie Chad Thomas takes the first real sustained pounding, opening up his asshole and mouth to several cocks. And while there's plenty of glimpses of sucking and fucking to go around, the most sizzling, aggressive action seems to involve the fierce-looking, pierced and tattooed muscle-bottom Tober Brandt and daddy Ty Hudson.
Retailing: Handsome box and huge cast will move this.

Nets' Andray Blatche Granted Citizenship in Philippines
Center Will Have Right to Play for Philippines in FIBA World Cup
Andray Blatche's summer got significantly busier Wednesday when Philippines president Benigno Aquino III signed a bill into law granting the Nets center dual citizenship and the right to play for the country in the FIBA World Cup, which will take place in Spain in August and September.
"I'm going to play my game, come out and be an offensive threat, bring energy on the floor, and protect the paint, create shots for my teammates," Blatche told reporters Tuesday.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda announced the news, leading Philippines coach Chot Reyes to tweet, "Maraming Salamat," which is Tagalog for "Thank you."
Reyes followed by writing "Now the hard work begins."
Blatche (above), a Syracuse native with no other connection to the Philippines, could also potentially play in the Asia Games in late September. A nine-year NBA veteran, he averaged 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Nets this season. He has stated his intention to opt for free agency this summer.
By rule, teams can have only one naturalized citizen on their 12-man roster during any FIBA tournament, so Marcus Douthit, another Syracuse native who became a naturalized Philippine citizen in 2011, will not be active. He can, however, remain on the 24-man roster and train against Blatche, or replace him if Blatche is unable to play.
—Alex Raskin

From Our Editors
Led by chef Shawn Edgecomb, the culinary team at The Blu Crab Seafood House & Bar slices, sears, and blackens cuts of ultra-fresh fish and seafood that is flown in daily. Heaping bowls of seafood gumbo feature chunks of fish, shrimp, and sausage, while tender crab cakes sit on plates alongside a swirl of delicate white-wine cream sauce that serves as "the perfect accent," as described in Fort Worth Weekly. A variety of fish for "every price point and appetite" ranges from tilapia to Chilean sea bass, prepared grilled, blackened, or pan-seared, each draped with a choice of sauce, such as garlic butter or rich blue-crab sauce with tarragon and roasted garlic. Prepared in-house, desserts include crème brûlée and key-lime pie packed with tart lime juice over a crust of edible, crushed keys.

Hi, I have missed something — but can't find where in the code to fix it. On the slider posted on the front page (cfsb.info) a small image icon appears along with each slide just above the slide — upper right corner. I hadn't noticed it as it doesn't show up in Firefox, but just viewed the page in Safari and it's there.
Can't find the reference in the page code, but as this icon fades in and out along with each slide — I think it's connected to the slider I created.
Any help pointing me to where I can delete this would be appreciated.

After what seems like years, PuTTY 0.61 finally sees the light of day on July 12. Did I say "seems" like years? That's because it has been. It's been more than four years since the last PuTTY release (0.60) and, in the release announcement, Simon Tatham said that the team has had a lot of email asking whether PuTTY was still under development
(and whether the team was still alive).

Traveling in airports or going to work, being a surfer I don't really care for socks. But with this shoe they keep my feet warm and I can dress up to keep my job!

Comments about Cassius:
Shoes are very comfortable. I love the look of the shoe. I usually wear low cut no show socks and my only complaint with these shoes is the break in period. They cut into the back of my heels so I had to wear tall socks with them for the first week. After they softened up a bit in the back they seem to be fine now. My advice is if you are like me and wear low cut socks or even no socks (ewww) don't wear them for a long period of time until they are broken in.

The 22nd Annual Oregon
Christian Home Education Conference
July 22 & 23, 2016
Oregon Convention Center
Portland, Oregon
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. ~ Proverbs 9:10
Our children grow so quickly . . . at least in stature. It is our prayer that they are growing in wisdom, too . . . the wisdom that comes from "the fear of the Lord." That's why we have sessions on Christian parenting and marriage as well as how-to homeschool sessions at the annual Oregon Christian Home Education Conference.
So, come to this year's conference where the theme is "Growing in Wisdom and Stature," and let's remind ourselves that God is our source of wisdom for us and our children, and everything we need to keep our vision in focus for our homeschool journey.
Conference Features:
More than 70 workshops
Family Friendly Conference
Exhibit Hall
