I come across a
brilliant pretty good familiar piece of writing on the Internet. But I don't recognize the site. How did my essay get transported in its entirety to a website I don't work for?
I dash off what I believe is a crisply worded e-mail demanding that they take it down. I copy it to Mr. Kamikaze, because he is a Whoop-Ass professional.
The next thing I know, Mr. K has fired off an e-mail of his own, only his is less polite and carries a rocket-launched payload.
Now I have to get him to stand down so that I can resolve this in my own well-mannered fashion. Which will take twice as long, but whatever.
"You are such a bulldog," I tell him. "It's turning me on a little. But stop."
He replies: "You can't just invite me to help and then command me to heel. Although that turns me on a little."
I am so getting that guy a leash and a collar. But just for fun.

SUBURBIA: It is the season of hypothesis at Ain't We Got Fun Elementary School and the children have pulled out all the stops for the annual Fair of Scientific Inquiry and Snack Foods.
No question is too big or too flammable for these junior scientists, who packed flames, poison and perfume into an array of exhibits that threatened to eclipse all previous years for sheer hazard level.
Some observers noted the distinctly dad-inspired character of this year's experimentation, with fire, poison, snack food and toilet paper-related inquiries outnumbering safe science and perfume making by a margin of 4-1.
There were also attempts to tackle the so-called "Big Questions" - to seek out the answers to mysteries that have eluded science since the beginning of third grade:
It might surprise you to learn the answer is not "hip hop." But possibly because they only considered alternative, country and classical. Who can say, really, which the bunnies actually prefer? They might have moved faster to get away.
Because in science, of course, every answer is the start of another question. Why won't Principal Killjoy allow a live demonstration of the flame-spewing sound wave tube? And whose job is it to clean up after the bunnies? Did it even matter whether the taste tasters were "spot on" or "far away"?
In the end, these questions would be left for the next crop of young scientists to unravel.
Except for the last one. That one at least, we can put behind us.

I don't know if it has any sort of official recognition in the Manual of Weird-Ass But Undeniably Real Addictions (WABURA), but there is, for obvious reasons, no 12-Step Program for the sufferers of Compulsive Ladder Buying.
The latest object of Mr. Kamikaze's affection? A 32-foot aluminum monstrosity that will enable him to scale heights previously unreachable on any of the other five or six ladders crowding our garage, which includes one that he designed and built himself. A specialty ladder.
It is getting to be like a ladder museum in there. When he sees me laughing at his latest purchase he looks at me as if I have absolutely no concept of what it takes to prune the trees, hang Christmas lights or do that thing where you scoop dead leaves out of that little tray that goes around the edge of the roof.
Whatever. It's still funny.

Look, guys: So maybe you're in a bit of a slump, but please - no one is talking about replacing you yet, no matter what the data says.
Sure, we're better drivers. Especially when going forward. We didn't need some insurance industry study to tell us that!
And yes, it turns out that we are just as funny as you are, possibly better with money, probably make better world leaders, and may offer a better return on investment in the corporate suite. (Man Down: Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers and Just About Everything Else, by Dan Abrams)
We also smell good and aren't afraid to ask for directions, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't be lost without you. It just means we wouldn't be lost as often.
But that is hardly reason to conclude that men are becoming obsolete.
What would even be the point of being better if there were no men around to make us seem better by being worse?
You complete us.
Besides, we depend on you for
everything! so many things!! some really important things.
So before you go putting any stock into the latest bit of scholarship describing the "end of men," ask yourselves: Will a vibrator get out of bed in the middle of the night to check out a scary noise? It will not. That technology is still years away!
Will our girlfriends show up with red wine and naked Daniel Craig movies when we are suffering from PMS and you are being an asshole? Of course they will. But that's still a two-man minimum, right there, not even acccounting for help with operating the remote control.
Call me sexist, but I don't think there is a woman alive who could convincingly fill the role of naked Daniel Craig. Meryl Streep, possibly, but I don't think you'd get more than an academic argument about putting that one in the "men are better" column.
And I don't care how far we've come, baby; you will never get me to admit that a woman is just as capable as a man when it comes to unclogging toilets.
Ditto for spider killing, grocery carrying, chest hair growing, floorboard painting and anything involving shovels. And while I don't have any hard numbers to back this up, I'm convinced men make superior superheroes, look better in tuxedos and make razor stubble sexy. I have never met the woman who can pull that off.

"What will you give me for this?" I say, putting myself between man and television, where a quartet of Las Vegas pawn dealers negotiate over somebody's 30-year-old collection of I-couldn't-care-less.
I am wearing a pair of green-light underwear, under the ridiculously obvious system I use to signal my level of romantic interest but which Mr. Kamikaze still finds confusing after 20 years.
How hard is it to recognize that any animal print pattern is a go?
Look, I say, when I go to bed wearing cheetah print underwear, I do not expect to wake up in them.
"Leopard," he corrects me. "Snow leopard, looks like."
You know you are really off your game when an attempt at seduction turns into a discussion of taxonomy. There is no such thing as too obvious, apparently.
Scarred by rejection during the early parenting years when so many of his wrong-headed, middle of the night, first thing in the morning advances were rebuffed, The Suburban Man, it seems, does not appreciate subtlety in women's underwear.
Mr. Kamikaze likes to say he likes them all - on the floor. Hah! Don't try to convince us that you can't tell the difference between a $140 pair of La Perlas and the 3 for $10 pile at J.C. Penney. You could bring down the economy that way.
My point is, no one ever tells you there will come a day when you will have to compete for your husband's attention against a History Channel reality show set in a pawn shop.
We expect to have to work a little harder when we're unlucky enough to suffer inclinations during extra innings or a toilet replacement cliffhanger on the DIY network.
I've got contingency underwear ready in the event the Cubs ever make it to the playoffs and I know how to turn a discussion of 30-year-old plumbing sediment or door framing technique into a series of suggestions that can trump all but the most riveting episodes of This Old House.
Who doesn't? That stuff is practically porn in the suburbs.
But a bunch of pawn shop guys dickering over how much to pay for somebody's old toy collection? That is the worst idea for neglecting your wife I have ever heard. The Suburban Man cannot get enough of it.
It's like the inside of the garage or a drywall stack at Home Depot; it calls to him in a frequency I cannot hear. What's worse, I can't just override it with a better offer. I am forced to haggle.
Mr. Kamikaze looks up from the television and coolly appraises my wares.
"What are you looking to get for it?" he says.
"It's all in working order," I say. "I don't see another one like it around here."
"Let me call a buddy of mine who knows about these things," he says.
"That will cost you extra," I say. "I'm looking to make a deal right now."
I've got his attention, but he knows better than to give me what I'm asking.
"Look, it's cool and all," he parries, "but I don't really have room for it in my shop."
"Maybe I'll shop it around a little," I say. "Or maybe I'll just go shopping. I could use some new underwear." Apparently.
We close the deal, eventually. But he drives a hard bargain.

The man and his wife had never liked the Russian olive tree in the front yard. They were the wrong kind of olives, possibly.
They make a call, and men in trucks with ladders come out and take the tree away. Branch by branch, the olive tree disappears, until at last there is nothing left but the part that anchors it to its place in the earth just outside the nation's capital.
The man looks at what is left and begins to think about his tools. Why not send the men in trucks away and unearth the stump himself?
It is, on some levels, a defensible choice. There is $800 to be saved, and how hard could it be?
Perhaps some subtle spiritual imperative drives him. Hasn't he also put his roots down in this place? He could honor the tree with his labor. But it is more likely he simply turns his hands over and contemplates the buttery soft skin of his palms. How hard can it be?
Like any self-respecting, suburban, land-owning, family man and card-carrying member of the national press corps, he has a hatchet, a shovel and a pick mattock. Also a lot of pens. Which are utterly useless against a Russian olive tree, as it turns out.
But let me tell you, this would be a whole different story without the pick-mattock. Depending on whatever that is.
The point is, every so often a man has got to wield the pick-a-matic. This was one of those times.
He is nine, maybe ten shovelfuls into the earth when it occurs to him that he might not make it. He pushes the sweat back from his face with the now slightly less buttery palms of his hands and wrestles with his doubt. All of his training, his preparation, the venti mocha regimen, would it be enough? But he knows there is no turning back. The realization hits him with the force of three strategically placed sticks of dynamite. "You can't just shovel the dirt back over the stump," he says.
False Hope
On the second day he discovers he can stand on the stump and make it wiggle. "You think you're getting close," he says, recalling the brief moment of hope and fancy footwork.
But the stump has other plans. It will hold out for another day. The man grows tired. His muscles ache, his once buttery-soft hands are blistered. But it is the loneliness that nearly defeats him. His wife does not come out to admire him. Nor do any of the neighbors. It is just him against the goddamn stump, which he is now convinced is held in place by a root system whose tentacles reach into the highest levels of the United States government.
With the persistence of a thing powered by gasoline and designed to grind down all resistance, he applies shovel, hatchet, pick-a-majig and wiggling to the task. He does not talk to the stump, but cannot escape his awareness of what goes unsaid. The danger of literary metaphor hovers over him like a chain saw. On the third day, the stump comes out. Also, a neighbor, who stops by to narrate the process by which something called a "stump grinder" would have done the job in roughly three days less time. The man's wife also struggles to appreciate the effort, or as she calls it, "what could have been done with a machine in two hours."
This does not diminish the suburban man's satisfaction in the least. "You do a job, you're very pleased, you fill in the hole," he says. "There's no monument, no testament to the hard work."
Except, as his wife points out, there is the stump itself, which even now sits in the man's garage.

A crusty old New England contractor is getting ready to install a sliding glass panel for the hapless suburban couple whose ancient basement door is falling apart.
It is the kind of drama for which the big screen television was invented.It's a repeat. Maybe not this exact episode, because who can tell them apart? But it is safe to say that This Old House master contractor Tom Silva has shown his television audience how to put in a door a time or two before. Not to mention that among his viewers, door framing procedures do not rank among life's mysteries. Mr. Kamikaze could do it during the commercial break.
And yet, here he is, sealed to his easy chair as firmly as if he had been applied with a nice thick bead of caulk. He follows each step with the focus of a man who has spent his whole life contemplating the merits of the solid vinyl door jamb.
As the beneficiary of so much home improvement, I make an effort to
mock share his appreciation. I pretend to watch. I ask questions. Why the hell are you watching this? Do you want me to tell you how it ends? Doesn't anybody ever get naked on this show?
And by long and careful observation, includng countless screenings of the classic Toilet Replacement Cliffhanger episodes, I have learned to identify the moments of hidden drama in the renovation script. Is that a load-bearing wall? Can that foundation be shored up or will the entire house have to be lifted up on jacks - a contingency PBS will parcel out over six episodes?
And therein lies the secret, which, if you are willing to show sufficient interest in the range of options for door hardware, the suburban man will share with you:
"Sometimes they find things they didn't expect," he says. "Decisions have to be made."

Esquire, April 2010: It is late afternoon at a Hampton Inn in a nameless suburb and the charmless philanderer is going through the purse of the unfamiliar woman awaiting him on the bed.
The woman on the bed is not his wife and not a coworker. She is not too young and not schizophrenic because those are the rules.
She is a little creeped out by the fact that he is looking through her purse and that he has not bothered to take off the rest of his clothes, but there is nothing in the rules about this apparently.
He is going through her purse looking for the partially-unwrapped Hershey's kiss which he will offer to her on a dirty room-service plate "like an altar boy."
This is meant to establish his cred as a sensitive lover in contrast with her husband, who has allegedly been withholding sex as a weight loss incentive. Which makes the husband kind of a dick, but is still less creepy than going through her purse. Let alone the whole "altar boy" thing. WTF Esquire?
Also by way of comparison: The philanderer treats women as "planetary objects" whereas other men have no idea what that even means.
He shares these and other details of his inexplicable mating success in an anonymous 1800-word apologia: Why Men Cheat: An Explanation. The explanation part takes up four words.
The rest is romance, assuming that your idea of a good time includes being slammed against the soda machine in a discount hotel chain stairwell by a guy who has just compared you to an asteroid, or possibly a meteor. Because he needs to.

"Once upon a time, men wore the pants. Men took charge because that's what they did." --Levi Strauss & Co. "Wear the Pants" campaign.
This is no time for cappuccino: Cities are crumbling, children are misbehaving and old ladies remain on one side of the street.
Thank god someone has the balls to step up. And we're not talking metaphorical balls here.
Because metaphors are for pussies. And Calvin Klein is not going to untie you from the railroad tracks.
We're talking about Levi Strauss & Co., whose new ad campaign for Dockers-brand pants champions the power of disaffected homophobic misogynists to save us from a world gone mad for salad and coffee drinks. If only they had the right pants. In nine new colors.
Levi Strauss global marketing skirt Jennifer Sey tells Brandweek what is at stake: Men, she says, are suffering from declining testosterone levels, a disproportionate share of job losses and confusion about their waxing options.
"This led us to the idea of an ad campaign encouraging men to put women, homosexuals and anyone else who stood in the way of pure, unadulterated patriarchy back in their place. Also, khakis with gun belts."

Clear skies and temperatures in the almost 30s had the men of the suburbs taking to their ladders over the weekend for the final stretch of what is being called one of the most competitive Midwestern holiday decoration seasons ever.
Amid the trash talking and the painstaking bulb by bulb application, one question remained unresolved: Would Louis get credit for a holiday display that as far as anyone could see, did not involve any ladders whatsoever?

As a mathematician he's first class His figures they are stunning (His angles complement his ass It must be all that running...)

Algebra Bob turns fifty today
Or maybe last week
I can't really say
But even as the years go by
His charms, they seem to multiply.
His assets only grow more prime
Despite the passing of the time.
Nothing subtracted that we can tell
His properties still distribute well.
On a scale of one to 10
He is a thirteen among men
Rounding up or rounding down
His equivalent cannot be found
Whole numbers of us all agree
There is no Bob equivalency.
Though we are not allowed to say it
There is no doubt it's true
He is worth his weight in husbands
- and in some, his weight times two.
As a mathematician he's first class
His figures they are stunning
(His angles complement his ass
It must be all that running...)
And so to sum up I will say
There is not room enough to pay
His tributes fully or reveal
Even a fraction of what we feel
Our love for him is too acute
To be reduced to a square root.
We leave you with this small finale:
Give our regards to your Aunt Sally.

A word or two about Pole Dancing Parties, the latest suburban party/exercise/sex craze: Um, no.
I'm not judging the taste of the New Jersey mommies pumping up demand for what the New York Times has dubbed a "racier version" of the Tupperware party. (I always thought that was the "Rubbermaid" claim to fame, but whatever.)
My point is, if you really enjoy it, fine. If you can figure out a way to work a pole dance routine into your exercise program, great.
I am happy to endorse any social/marketing scheme that replaces plastic storage containers as the center of the suburban mommy's social life.
But if you are buying into the idea that installing a $450 spring-loaded, adjustable stripper's pole in the living room is going to improve your sex life, I am going to save you a lot of money.
Because this is like baiting a mousetrap with artisanal cheese.
After more than a dozen years of marriage and somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 or 400 liquor-fueled playgroup discussions on this topic, I think I can safely say that I am something of an expert on the Top Five or Six Hundred Turn-Ons of the Suburban Man.
Like so many women, I once put a lot of time and money into my collection of sequin-trimmed bra and thong sets.
Then I realized I was married to a guy who got turned on when I asked him to check my hair for nits during an epidemic of lice at the local elementary school.
So, as a public service, I am going to share with you My Five Proven Methods of Seduction that Do Not Require a $450 Spring-loaded Adjustable Stripper's Pole:
Here goes.
The Suburban Kamikaze's Top Five No-Pole Required Seduction Methods:
Materials Needed:
Two X chromosomes
A pulse
Method #1: Laundry Folding. For reasons that I do not fully understand, the sight of an adult woman folding underwear - or bath towels – fills the mind of a suburban man with impure thoughts faster than you can say Martha Stewart Everyday 5-Star Egyptian Cotton.
Method #2: Midwestern Winter Striptease. Simply remove one layer of clothing before going to bed. Fold back several layers of flannel sheets and bedding to just below your earlobes.
Method #3: Dirty Talk. This is so much easier than you think. Throw away your copy of "How to Make Oratory Like a Porn Star." You have all the vocabulary you need already: nouns, verbs, gerunds, dangling participles. They all work, due to a little known region of your husband's brain that converts ordinary parts of speech into sexual triggers. You say "peanut butter and jelly sandwich" – he hears "lubricant" and "thighs."
Method #4: The Deadline. Nothing accelerates his libido like the six-month project you were supposed to have turned in yesterday. He will not be able to keep his hands off you.
Method #5: The Three-Way. Want to guarantee that he will be in the mood for totally over-the-top, monkey-howling, headboard slamming, passion of the sheets? Make sure somebody is sleeping in your guestroom, preferably your mother. Works every time.
You're welcome.
Photo: You see folded towels; he sees you in a compromising position.

The Home Church and Outer Space (Almost)By Tony Kontzer | Posted 2009-07-01 Print
Don't just do the same stuff everyone else does, go geeky.
7) Silicon Valley, California
Few people consider it, but a stay in Silicon Valley can yield lots of benefits for geeks. Start with a visit to San Jose's impressive Tech Museum. Move on to such landmarks as San Francisco's spectacular new Academy of Sciences, UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science, and the underappreciated Computer History Museum in Mountain View. And don't forget to hit the famed Palo Alto garage where HP was born. (Alternatively, a trip to Bangalore--a.k.a. "The Silicon Valley of India"--could yield some inexpensive programming talent, or at least a crash course in operating a call center.)
8) Outer Space Circuit, Switzerland-Quebec-Florida
For space enthusiasts, a dream trip awaits. Start at Alpine Astrovillage Lue-Stailas in the Swiss Alps for an unforgettable amateur astrophotography experience. On the way back, stop in Laval, Quebec to attend the Cosmodome Space Camp, and then cap your space-themed vacation with a visit to Florida's Kennedy Space Center. If you can't make the Space Shuttle Endeavor's liftoff on or about July 11, try getting there for the planned launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on Aug. 18.

Ardee win keenly contested U16 League
Ardee Celtic secured the Fastfix U16 Premier Division title on Wednesday in Townparks with a 2-0 win over Shamrocks in the final game of the season.
This year's division was of a very high standard with all eight teams capable of a result and after only two games, Ardee found themselves chasing early leaders Bellurgan.
The five point gap remained until March with both Bellurgan and Ardee gaining momentum through their excellent run in the League and National Cup with both sides making it to the last 32 of this year's SFAI competition; Ardee going one step further to the last 16.
Ardee kept the pressure up on Bellurgan with crucial wins over Rock Celtic and Muirhevnamor however the pivotal moments were a 2-2 draw between Bellurgan and Rock and a win for Shamrocks over Bellurgan which set up a title showdown between the Dessiders and Bellurgan in Ardee last Sunday.
With both teams tied on 31 points with two games remaining, it was a battle for three points right from the off.
The breakthrough came midway through the first-half when Pauric McGowan dribbled the ball through the Bellurgan defence and guided the ball low past the out stretched hand of Sean McGeough in the Bellurgan goal.
Bellurgan rallied in the second half and dominated possession in midfield for the most part but found it hard to break down a strong Ardee back four of Conor Ayson, Niall Sharkey, Aaron and Daryl McDonagh.
Always posing a threat from dead ball situations Bellurgan had two corners cleared off the line and hit the bar from a long range shot but just couldn't muster the equaliser.
The final minutes were frantic with Ross McQuillan keeping Ardee ahead with a top class finger tip save low to his right to flick the ball past the post. Sean McGeough did equally well moments later when Caolach Halligan hit a blistering shot from distance only to have it saved.
Ardee scored on 68 minutes to guarantee the three points when a quick counter attack left Halligan one on one with McGeough and he held his composure to dink the ball over the keeper.
Needing just a point to win the title, Ardee faced an excellent Shamrocks side on Wednesday evening last and the mid-Louth lads had to dig deep to get into the game but two first half goals from James Caraher and Caolach Halligan and some resolute defending were enough to see the lads win the league title.
The players and management would like to pay a big thanks to everyone at Ardee Celtic for their support this season, to Phoenix Embroidery, Royal Sport and to sponsor AdzonBandz.com and Ionic Balance for their help.

Ballybofey and Stranorlar
The Carr & Company Architects & Civil Engineers sponsored Senior and Intermediate Scratch Cup Competitions were held on Saturday.
After such a very wet spell the event was fortunate to have been blessed with a beautiful day for golf. The perfect conditions were reflected in by players who produced some excellent golf. Joe Coyle , Letterkenny Golf Club led after Round 1 with a vintage 68, level par. Two time former champion Barry McMenamin was tied 2nd after an opening round of 70, two over par. In the afternoon former three time winner Enda McMenamin set the target with a gritty 2nd round 73 to match the 73 he shot in the morning. Late in the afternoon Shane McClean a talented young 2 handicapper from Foyle Golf Club posted a 2nd Round 70 to go with his 72 in round 1 to make him a worthy champion for 2016. Well done to Shane he has joined an impressive list of former winners. The Nett Prize was won by Tony Carr with well crafted Nett Scores of 66 & 67 playing off 9 handicap.
In the Intermediate Scratch Cup some wonderful golf was also unfolding. Eamon McGarrigle and Thomas Grindel produced tremendous rounds of 74 and 75 to set the early pace. Michael Shiel of Letterkenny Golf Club completed a great day for the young guns by scoring a 38 for the 2nd 9 to go with his 76 in round 1 and lift the Intermediate Scratch Cup at just 16 years of age.
Alastair Henderson and Lawrence Devenney's work on the administration of the event was acknowledged with thanks during the speeches which followed the presentation of prizes. Similarly Mary McHugh and staff were thanked for looking after the players so well during the Day.

The Sunday Stroke competition was sponsored by Begley's Pharmacy. On this day in 1922 - The Walker Cup was held for the first time and with his best round in a while, a super 68, Oliver Plunkett might have earned his place on the team. Second was Mr Consistency and Captain's Prize winner Mark Butler with a 69. Aidy Gallagher getting the hang of things finished in third with a 70 just ahead of Ronan McAleavey in fourth with a 71. Young Ryan Mc Neilis took time away from the tour to shoot a 75 gross off a 4 h'cap. Good solid scoring all round.
The Open day on Monday saw Victor Bradley shoot 39pts for the No. 1 spot. Another Oliver, Roche, finished in second with 38 and Liam Carey managed a credible 37pts for third. On this occasion Jason Conway had no cause for complaint as he secured the gross.
The Past Captains prize played for on Sunday was won, not for the first time, by Frank Bourke with 35pts.
Liam Farren Tool Hire sponsors next Sunday and the club hosts The West Coast Challenge from Monday to Friday next week.
Junior Coaching with Leslie Robinson finished up on Monday evening with a few games and a skills challenge. Daniel Cannon rose to the occasion to take his first title with many more to come, no doubt.
On Wednesday 24th the McClintocks very nearly made it a one two with Tom winning with a great score of 41 points. Tom beat his dad Jonny by three points. However, Jonny did manage to finish in third place with Conor Hanna taking second on 39 points.
On Friday the club held a very successful Open 3BBB Competition. The winners with a terrific score of 48 points from Blacklion Golf Club were Peter Conlon, Dympna Conlon and Ciaran Dunne. In second place were Seamie Logue, Maggie Logue and Barbara Eakin with 47 points. Also on 47 points and beaten into third place on BOT were Paul Smyth, Nigel Doherty and Andy Murray.
Thankfully we also had large numbers taking part in the Saturday open 4BBB. The winners with an outstanding score of 46 points were brothers Michael and Brian Gilfedder. In second place were Joe Terry and Seamus McCauley with 42 points narrowly beating John Chambers and Nigel Doherty on BOT.
In Sunday's Club Stableford Competition, Max McGreevy won first prize with a great score of 41 points. Max's handicap has been reduced significantly over the summer and no doubt he will get hit again after this win. In second place was another golfer who has had a lot of success over the summer. James T Sweeney had 39 points resulting in another handicap reduction. President Keith Lapsley won the gross prize with 30 points while Peadar Curran was third.
Junior Golf: Dunfanaghy GC's junior golf section has enjoyed some great success over the last few weeks. In mid August Luke Kelly and his teammates from his home club Belvoir Park won the All Ireland Junior Foursomes held at Clonmel GC. Luke sank long putts on the last hole in both the semi final and final to help his team win the trophy. Congratulations also to Conor Hanna who finished third in the All Ireland Boys U12 championships held at Killymoon GC. Conor finished the 18-hole competition on 3 over par finishing only two shots behind the winner. Our U16 team have also reached the semi final of the Donegal Fourball Matchplay Championships with a comprehensive victory over Narin & Portnoo. Good luck to the boys in their semi final match against Ballyliffin.
In last week's Saturday competition, Jack Druce played some great golf to win the cadets section narrowly beating Caolan McFadden. Shot of the day went to Sean McBride with a fantastic approach shot into the 17th.In the 'Andy Ward Invitational Birthday Open' (Juveniles Section), the birthday boy himself, Andy Ward came out on top followed closely by Lucas Wood and Michael Dolan.
Events for the Week Ahead: Saturday, Gents Open Single Stableford, Sunday, Kilbrae Cup GOy.
Wednesday 24th saw the club hosting the Farren Roarty sponsored Open Stableford competition and displaying the same prowess on the golf course as he showed on the soccer pitch was local sports broadcaster Kenny Harkin [13] who recorded 20pts on each nine to take top spot ahead of Barnhill's 'birdie man' Joe Coyle [7], who took second place with 38pts on a six-way B.O.T. In third place was the consistent Kevin Hannigan [7], also with a one over par back nine 20pts but beaten no doubt by Joe's birdie at 18th. Gross prize went to Conor Friel [4] with 34 gross points and visitors prize on the day was won by regular visitor Mark Ponsonby with 37pts. Wednesday evening nine hole competition was won by Henry Mc Cahey with 22pts followed by P.J.Nee on 20pts and Tony Duffy posting 19pts.
Friday 26th Charity Open was in aid of the Conwal Parish Church restoration fund and restoring his name to the winner's list after a lengthy absence was John Russell [16] with 37pts. In runner-up spot by virtue of B.O.T. was J.P. Clarke [11] who relegated John Bowe [20] to third place with a birdie at Stockade [18th]. Nearest the Pin prize was won by Hugh Doherty.
Saturday 27th had the club host the ever popular Auto Fast Fit Tyres & Exhausts Centre sponsored Open and driving to the winner's enclosure was Eugene Mc Keever [19] with 41pts. Eugene outpointed runner-up Mark Mc Dowell [12] and third placed Hector Mc Elwaine [21] on 38pts. Gross prize was won by John Doran [5] with 32 gross points.
Sunday 28th Confined competition was won by Conor Coady [17] and you could say that it was definitely a game of two nines with a massive 26pts for the first nine holes. Unfortunately, the air cooled somewhat on the back nine but 42pts kept him well clear of the field. In second place was Simon Stephens [3] who returned a one over 73 gross and 38pts total. Winning out on a four-way B.O.T., was Dermot Rainey [17] who has been knocking on the winners' door of late. Dermot's birdie at 10th placed him third whilst gross prize was won by Jack Patton [4] with 32 gross points.
Monday 29th Cat 4 members competition, reduced to nine holes because of fading light, was won by Jack Mc Garrigle with 21pts while Michael Mc Daid was second with 19pts.
Category 4 members have their big day on Sunday, September 25th with the annual John J Doherty Memorial Cup competition. The event is played over 18 holes and players must have played in three of the Monday Cat 4 competitions to be eligible to win a prize. A time slot has been set aside on the day from 12 noon to 1.30pm but if players want to play at a different time on the day that's fine, but preferably earlier for scorecards to be checked. The presentation of prizes will take place on that night, beginning at 10pm. For more details, contact Gerry O'Sullivan.
Monday also had the Juniors in action and Oisin Randles [28] led the field with a great 41pts return. In second place was Patrick Page [7] with 37pts and in third place was Tom Doherty [13] with 36pts.
It has been a somewhat topsy-turvey two weeks for the club's teams with commiserations going to the Bobby Mullally led Minor League team and the Eamon O' Carroll led Ulster Cup team, both falling at the penultimate rounds of their respectivecompetitions, and also the club's Donegal Senior League panel under the stewardship of Keith Shiels.
In contrast, congratulations to the Kevin 'Alex Ferguson' Kiely led Donegal Seniors team [over 50's] who have reached the final of this competition for the second year running and, having won in 2015, now play to retain the title against a very fancied Portsalon Golf Club on September 9th.
Congratulations to club members John Doran who won the net section of the Ulster Seniors Championship last week with rounds of 72 and 81 [153] and Con Boyce who tied for 2nd with 70 and 80 [150].
As a tribute to the foresight, groundwork, dedication and hard work of our past captain Gerard Duffy in founding our junior/juvenile youth policy in recent years, which has been continued forward by Catherine-Cooke Harkin and Mary Fowley, hearty congratulations are offered to junior members Patrick Page on winning the highly sought after u18 Munster Irish Junior Open title and also to Michael Shiel who won the Intermediate Scratch Cup at Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club recently.

The Robot gang participated in another Friday Project that really got our gears turning (so to speak).
Recently back from San Francisco, creative director Lara August picked up some really cool paper robot kits in Chinatown. The stage was set for creativity – and the next Friday Project.
In case you need a refresher, Friday Projects are staff-led organized creative activities we do about once a month. The staff member comes up with the activity and shares it with the rest of the team. The projects range from creative play to industry-focused learning, but they are always fun and inspiring!
These robot kits were really unique. They are made up of rolled up paper "pipes" that you cut at designated lengths and bend to make the arms, torso, heads, legs and feet. Grab some scissors, and fun ensues.
To make your own paper pipe characters, check out the Piperoid website. http://piperoid.jp/en/index.html

I guess we were so woozy with bubbles the last time we took a look at some of our preferred/affordable sparkling wines, we couldn't even be counted on to get some simple geography straight. For some reason, the origins of the Biltmore Estate Sparkling Blanc de Blancs were cited as being "just over the border" in South Carolina. Now normally when things get that bush league, editorial will haul you in and ask which digit from your non-dominant hand they can feed to the nest of honey badgers they keep under the printing press. But having side-stepped that reprimand, let this piece serve as something of a "retraction."
If you drink sparkling wine more than once or twice a year, you might already know just how versatile and far-reaching the varietal is. The range and subtleties of flavors can make it an inspired pairing for any number of foods — and Biltmore's Blanc de Blancs is a fair example of such a wine. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this wine is fermented for a second time in the bottle (by adding a yeast and sugar mix). This "bottle conditioning," or "méthode champenoise" as it's traditionally known, is where the effervescent soul of the wine is manufactured.
Being a brut sparkling, the delicate sweetness of Biltmore's Blanc de Blancs initially threw me off. It's not overly so, but it certainly didn't approach that arid, bitter vibe that the designation tends to bring most of the time. The flavor profile is a mix of citrusy fruit leaning, in the case of my palate, slightly toward the strawberry end of the spectrum. I immediately put it alongside camembert and brie cheeses where I assumed it would be a natural fit, but it also danced quite well with zestier foods and downright spicy dishes. And of course it makes for a more than reliable blend if you're apt to mix your sparkling wine with fruit juice.
Now that we're just a clutch of days away from 2012, heaven knows what will be poured into those, er, "inexpensive" plastic champagne flutes that are invariably passed around on New Year's Eve. But if you want to spare yourself that uncertainty, I'd recommend you'd keep a bottle of this chilled and handy just in case.

> You disagree. I get it. File a bug report with SPARQL. File a bug > report with RIF. Bijan is perhaps speaking rhetorically, but if you want to take it literally, you'll probably to wait for the next public working draft from RIF to see what the semantics document actually says about RDF b-nodes. I'd expect it in about a month. > (Roughly, I'd prefer to have a sort of skolem constant instead of > bnodes, if this helps you any :)) Do you want Skolem constants which are labeled as Skolem constants? I've seen FOL theorem provers do labeling like that (when they do Skolemization), and I doubt it affects the semantics, so I assume it's there for users and for guiding strategies. It often seems to me that bnodes should have been left out of RDF. They're useful, but also painful. (Or maybe, all things considered, RDF should have been left out of RDF. :-) - sReceived on Tuesday, 2 October 2007 14:44:55 UTC

Feigning Compassion To Reinforce One's Own Agenda
(Read through to the bottom of this one for a real kicker! UPDATE (1:31 PM): And Another!)
In most of my writing, I don't differentiate between "Christian privilege" and "religious privilege." In our nation, they are basically the same because Christianity is so prevalent.
Christians extremists understand that defending religious privilege on behalf of other religions just reinforces their own privilege. Here's a great example of what that looks like. OneNewsNow posted an article yesterday called, "Muslim prayer event shows 'greatness of America'."
The Christian Defense Coalition is welcoming Muslims planning to hold a large prayer gathering Friday on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
More than 50,000 Muslims are expected to take part in the event Friday on Capitol Hill. Pat Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, says it is sad that some Christians have been hostile to the Muslims planning to gather Friday.
Did you catch that? I highlighted in green just in case you didn't. See, the Christian Defense Coalition seems to think that the West Lawn is their territory, but they're happy to allow Muslims to gather there. How gracious.
"They are receiving numerous calls from people who profess to be Christians, full of hateful language to them, telling them to go back their own country, when they are Americans and they love this country," he notes.
Maybe I'm cynical. I don't know. I just can't possibly buy into the idea that Mahoney is sincere with that statement. I actually believe the CDC probably does some good things, but not exclusively. Here is some pertinent background on Rev. Mahoney from the shoddy CDC website:
Rev. Mahoney organized and led rallies and vigils for Chief Justice Roy Moore to publicly display the Ten Commandments in Montgomery, Alabama. He also led the fight to keep Teri Shiavo alive in Pinellas Park, Florida and in Washington D.C.
Rev. Mahoney was founder, and also served on the Executive Board, of the Alliance for Revival and Reformation. This organization is made up of nationally known pastors, historians, theologians and pastors who are dedicated to spreading the message of repentance, biblical revival and cultural reformation. He speaks in churches on on a regular basis concerning these topics.
See what I mean? If this organization is specifically dedicated to making our nation more Christian, why would they be so quick to support a Muslim prayer rally?
"It is important to send a clear message that the Christian community loves the Muslim community. That we do not hate Muslims, that our heart is not set against Muslims, and that with the heart and compassion of Christ, we are to reach out and build bridges," he adds.
Get it? We want you to submit to Christianity, so we're going to show you how great we are! Besides, we LOVE praying in public spaces!
OneNewsNow does not compassionately reach out to the Muslim community. They are more in the fear-mongering business. Take a look at these headlines currently found (even though some are a month old) on the OneNewsNow website, mostly under "National Security":
"Sept. 10 attitude still prevails – Still handling homeland security with a 9/10 attitude" (Thanks Michelle Malkin!)
"Nuke negotiations with Iran – been there, done that"
"Webcast to address church's response to terrorism" (It's called "The Threat of Radical Islam and the Church's Response")
"Obama praises Islam, ignores radicals' threat"
While it might be nice to see conflict-driven religions "getting along" today, I really don't think there is any sincerity in that compassion outrage.
This morning, I got the real proof. TALK ABOUT MIXED MESSAGES. The following email is from the AFA, the same organization behind OneNewsNow that published the other article just the day before:
We thought this was a good idea, and then we remembered we were talking about Muslims.
These folks are either wildly manipulative or have massive internal communication problems. Or both. Yes, both.
UPDATE: "Capitol Hill gathering to inspire Muslim aggression?"
Perkins called the Muslim gathering "a wake-up call for the church" and a warning that if Christians do not "fill the void that's in this nation with the truth, it will be filled with something else."
If that's not fear-mongering, what is?

On the hunt for Christmas gifts I popped into the Jo Malone Londonstore in Mosman. Being a steamy Sydney afternoon, I can't resist the store's luxe creamy-hued allure. It's quiet so the store manager, Sarah Louise, invites me to have a hand & arm massage and to find my own signature scent (you can actually book in for this complimentary treatment by ringing the store). After offering me a glass of champagne (Mumm & Co – no less!), she asks me if I have a favourite Jo Malone London scent I don't quite know where to begin…
I've had a long-standing love affair with Jo Malone London. I first fell for Orange Blossom in my twenties – its innocent floral freshness is like slipping on a white cotton sundress – it always feels appropriate. I reach for this when I don't know what else to wear. Later, the brand took me to London to interview their perfumer Christine Nagel, and I fell in love with her most famous concoction, English Pear & Freesia. It's pure Sloane Street in a bottle: preppy, well-clipped but with luscious fruity overtones. The next year, I kept smelling Pomegranate Noir on all these stylish people at events, and I eventually gave in and got a bottle for myself. It didn't disappoint. Finally, only last week I was sent the beautiful Christmas Cologne Collection to try and I discovered Blackberry & Bay – another juicy feast of a fragrance, mouth-watering and wet and totally refreshing in all this humidity.
I give Sarah Louise a kind of abridged version of my perfume diatribe and to her credit, she doesn't bat an eye.
"Well you could actually combine a few of those and create your own signature scent," she says, picking up the pomegranate noir and spraying it on a scent card.
I'd heard of the brands technique of fragrance combining but, to be honest, I was always a bit skeptical. Surely it would be too much – layering all these scents?
"My favourite combo at the moment is adding the Orange Blossom on top of the Pomegranate Noir to make it fresher," she says, spritzing the floral scent over the top of the scent card and handing it to me. True to her word, it's suddenly lifted. The layering of the two takes a dark, inky evening scent into playful territory. I could imagine wearing it to a Christmas party, it's fun and frivolous but with the guts of spiced woods and pink pepper.
"Jo Malone London fragrances are created very simply," explains Sarah Louise. "There's a lot of clarity in them, so compared to most other fragrances that have about 400 ingredients ours only have 100. Fragrance combining makes it more bespoke as well. You don't have to do two fragrances, you can do a lotion and a cologne, or when you're entertaining you can do "scent surround" by mixing room sprays and candles, so you can create a really unique space."
We head over the table and Sarah Louise gives me a little felt bag for my rings, hands me my champagne and begins a totally luxurious hand massage with the new Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Crème. She then spritzes Red Roses Cologneover the top, onto my forearms.
"It adds a bit of warmth and floralness to the already woody and fresh Wood Sage & Sea Salt," she explains as she presses it into my skin gently.
"Don't ever rub – when a fragrance dries, it's meant to dry in certain layers – base note, middle note, top note. If you rub it, it doesn't dry properly and it can alter the way a scent smells," she adds.
I take a whiff: it's delicious and earthy with a totally moreish bouquet of garden roses over the top. The scent. The champagne. The cool creaminess of the store. I never want to leave.
As I tear myself away, Sarah Louise gives me a little sample of each so I can test out my new combo at home and then shows me a brochure that suggests the perfect combinations. After a bit of playing around and research, here are a few ideas for fragrance combining:
Who says you have to stick to one scented candle? Kate Middleton reportedly had Orange Blossom and Grapefruit candles burning in Westminster Abbey at her wedding. If it's good enough for Kate…
Scented body cream gives your perfume more staying power. "A cream will always anchor a scent onto the skin," said Sarah Louise. "Skin's dry, so when you spray something onto the skin it will just evaporate faster. If it's going onto a nice lotioned surface, it doesn't evaporate as fast."
For a romantic date-night combo, bathe in something woody and warm like the Wild Fig & Cassis Bath Oil and then slather a lighter floral body cream over the top. I like Nectarine Blossom & Honey. It lasts beautifully and you get whiffs of it all night long.
Having trouble switching off at night? Try spritzing your bed linen with the lavender-spiked Lino Nel Vento Linen Spray and burning the Lavender & Lovage Candle to drift away to dreamland.
For Christmas entertaining, Sarah Louise recommends spritzing the tablecloth Pomegranate Noir Room Spray then burning the Grapefruit Home Candle "It goes best with food and won't interfere." She explains. In leiu of a real Christmas Tree, you could spritz a fake one with Pine & Eucalyptus Room Spray.
Not sure what to buy a friend? The Cologne Collection offers five of the most popular scents that are designed to be combined together so you can't get it wrong. "They're always more than welcome to exchange it anyway."

Smyrna Vinings Mortgage Rate Update: Week of September 6, 2010
The Week in Review:
Volatility has moved back into the marketplace and as a result home loan rates are experiencing daily movement again. This past week rates decreased at the beginning of the week only to end the week .125 – .25% worse than they started.
What to Expect:
This week has an unusually low number of economic reports scheduled for release. Changes in home loan rates will be driven by economic news and events.
Home loan rates have hit a floor and are still near levels from mid-August. Each time rates attempt to move a leg lower, they turn back around quickly. To break below current levels, we'll need a catalyst. In a week with very little information to digest, we don't see it happening this week.
On Tuesday morning there were some stories related to the continued economic struggles in Europe. Home loan rates improved ever so slightly on the news. Poor economic news tends to cause home loan rates to decrease.
Next 7 days: Rates will vary daily but no significant fluctuation expected
Next 30 to 90 days: Neutral; no clear indication of direction

Alison had The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin on her to-read list and when Sue and Leslie attended BYU's Women's Conference in May and heard about the book, Leslie turned to Sue and said, "I'm going to choose that for book club next time it's my turn!" So she did. We had lunch at Les Madeleines in downtown Salt Lake City at 216 E 500 S and gave the book a solid 4 stars.
It generated a lively discussion as we each shared our responses to the idea of the book.
Alison says: This has been a truly life-changing book for me. I've been thinking about happiness for several years, and this book was a perfect way for me to now seriously consider what I can do to be more happy. As Gretchen Rubin says, "Each person's happiness project will be unique, but it's the rare person who can't benefit from starting one." I'll be working on my own happiness project for years to come!
Sue says: I found this fascinating. It is filled with totally awesome quotes and really great ideas as Gretchen spent a year working on different topics each month and keeping resolutions. This book is definitely a catalyst for change and is very easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to think purposefully about becoming even more happy. Her blog post.
Holly says: This is a magnificent book. This is one of those books that can change your life if you let it. If…you let it! It took me a long time to read this book, because I wanted it to change my life. The idea of being happier, who in their right mind would turn that down? The book breaks down the author's project by month, although, you are encouraged to do what's right for you. The author's plan seemed logical to me, so I adopted it. I took on my happiness plan for the first month with gusto, the second month with interest, the third month with yearning, and the forth month, well, I didn't take it on at all—I just read. I really want to have a Happiness Project of my own. I'm just so busy being happy; it's hard to keep up the determination to be happier. For now, The Happiness Project has given me lots to think about, and I vow that someday, I WILL be happier. For now, I'm settling for just plain happy! :-D

Human breast milk trade warning
The UK researchers revealed that the human breast milk that is purchased by many fetishists, bodybuilder and cancer patients are considered to be dangerous for their health. The excess expressed milk is now being sold by people in different social media groups and websites. It was claimed that the milk was unpasteurized and consisted of some harmful germs. The milk boosted the immunity system of individuals and was found to be dangerous for all the cancer patients. It has not been clear yet how much of liquid gold is being traded as there is always an arrangement made between the two parties. Dr Sarah from the London School of Medicine and Dentistry told to a reporter of BBC that the market for the human breast milk has grown consistently all over the world. It has also been published in the Royal Society of Medicine Journal.
It is said that 93% of breast milk which is sold online consist of bacteria because non – sterile equipment has been used for storage of the milk. This makes diseases like hepatitis B and C, HIV and syphilis more common. This has become a very useful trade for those women who could not produce sufficient milk for their babies. However, it is also being purchased for building muscles, by some fetishists and some people who loved to have food. Breast milk does not have high safety standards as food. The milk should not be consumed by the cancer patients as their immunity system does not function in the same way as a healthy human being.
