Florida golf instructor Tommy Fleetwood received $154,480 for a 12th-place finish at The Open Championship, the amount actually earned at Carnoustie by the English golfer by the same name.
The European Tour issued an apology to the rightful Fleetwood and restored the payment of £119,971.
The story came to light when the Florida man posted a screenshot of his mobile banking transactions. The credit of $154,480 came in just after a $14 transaction at Wal-Mart. He informed his bank of the error.
The "other" Tommy Fleetwood, in St. Louis this week beginning the 100th PGA Championship, said he didn't hold any ill toward the European Tour and was able to smile about the story.
"I honestly didn't know anything about it," Fleetwood told the Guardian. "I wouldn't even know if I'd been paid or not because I don't really look. It looks pretty genuine and they are looking into it and I'm sure they'll feel pretty bad about it. It's a funny story."

Hi there, Whenever I validate a page, every error is displayed something like this: Property opacity doesn't exist in CSS level 2 but exists in : 0.2 0.2 The first part, "Property opacity doesn't exist in CSS level 2 but exists in" is fine except for not having the CSS level in which the property exists (that's the first bug). The troubling part is the "0.2 0.2" entry. It is displaying the CSS value a second time for every validated element. When I looked at the HTML for the validation results, I saw that it takes the following format:
 ###	  selector	  description : value  value
 So the value is being displayed twice, and because  is an inline element, it's just being displayed twice in sequence rather than with any kind of formatting. Incidentally, when I validated the validation page's CSS it threw a bunch of "Same colors for color and background-color in two contexts" warnings. That amused me.

(CNSNews.com) – Members of the Congressional Black Caucus said that the recent arrest of a black professor for disorderly conduct was a case of "racial profiling" and that President Barack Obama's remarks at his Wednesday night press conference saying the police had acted "stupidly" was an apt description.
"What the president said is so accurate," Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) told CNSNews.com following a press conference on health care on Thursday at the Capitol. "I mean, I just experienced an incident about a year ago that was, of course, front-page stuff in Chicago.
"Driving while black, where I was stopped by police officers and after we went to court – we took the whole thing to court, lawyers – the response was so ludicrous from the officers," Davis said.
Near the conclusion of his televised press conference at the White House on Wednesday, Obama responded to a question from Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet about what he thought of the July 16 arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr., a professor at Harvard University and a personal friend of the president.
After acknowledging his friendship with Gates and stating that he did not have all the facts, Obama repeated that he did not know the facts but that he understood why Gates would be angry, and that the police in Cambridge, Mass., where Gates lives, acted "stupidly."
"Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that," Obama said.
"But I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact," he said.
"As you know, Lynn, when I was in the state legislature in Illinois, we worked on a racial profiling bill because there was indisputable evidence that blacks and Hispanics were being stopped disproportionately," Obama said. "And that is a sign, an example of how, you know, race remains a factor in the society."
"I think the president was right on target," Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said on Thursday. "Racial profiling, we all know. We come from communities where, some of us actually, understand and have been racially profiled and so (Gates' arrest is) just an example."
"I think we have witnessed an example of the unfinished business of America and the inequalities that continue to exist," said Lee, "and part of our job as members of Congress is to work on legislation and policy issues that address racial profiling and the criminal justice in a real way, in terms of criminal justice reform."
In the police report of the arrest, arresting officer Sgt. James Crowley said he was responding to a report of someone apparently trying to break into what was later identified as Gates' residence. Crowley said he could see "an older black man" in the foyer of the house through the glass door and asked him if he would step outside.
Crowley said Gates refused and asked Crowley to identify himself. After Crowley told Gates he was a sergeant with the Cambridge Police Department and was investigating a report of a break-in, Crowley said Gates opened the door and said, "Why, because I'm a black man in America?"
Crowley said Gates was yelling and repeatedly called him a racist. After other officers from the Cambridge police and Harvard University and several onlookers had gathered on the street and Crowley had left the residence and was followed outside by Gates, the second officer who contributed to the police report said Gates yelled: "This is what happens to black men in America."
Crowley said in the report that he warned Gates several times that he was becoming disorderly before placing him under arrest.
The police report said that the woman who reported the break-in to police said she saw a man trying to use his shoulder to wedge open the front door of the house.
In the days following his arrest and subsequent release, Gates publicly criticized Crowley and demanded an apology.
In an interview Thursday with WEEI radio in Boston, Crowley said he would not apologize.
"As I said yesterday when I was cornered in my backyard by the media, that apology will never come," Crowley said "It won't come from me as Jim Crowley, it won't come for me as a sergeant from the Cambridge Police Department.
"Whatever everybody else chooses to do in the name of the City of Cambridge or the Cambridge Police Department is beyond my control. I don't worry about that. I know what I did was right. I have nothing to apologize for," Crowley said.
When asked about Obama's remarks about the case at his press conference, Crowley told the radio station he was "disappointed."
"Well, of course, he's the president of the United States, and I support the president to a point, I guess," Crowley said. "I think it's disappointing that he waded into what should be a local issue, something that really plays out here.
"Like he said at the … press conference, he didn't have all the facts, and he certainly doesn't, based on his comments," Crowley said. "It was very disappointing."
On Tuesday, a joint press release was made public that said the City of Cambridge, the Cambridge Police Department, and the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office would not proceed with charges against Gates.
The statement also included a joint statement from the city, the police and Gates:
"The City of Cambridge, the Cambridge Police Department, and Professor Gates acknowledge that the incident of July 16, 2009, was regrettable and unfortunate. This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of Professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department. All parties agree that this is a just resolution to an unfortunate set of circumstances."
Also on Tuesday, the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association issued its own statement, supporting Crowley. It reads as follows:
"The Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association has reviewed the matter of the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Gates Jr. and the involvement of Cambridge Police Sergeant James Crowley in that matter. Upon review, the Association expresses its full and unqualified support for the actions taken by Sergeant Crowley in response to the report of a possible break in at a residence on Ware Street in Cambridge.
Sergeant Crowley is a highly respected veteran supervisor with a distinguished record in the Cambridge Police Department. His actions at the scene of this matter were consistent with his training, with the informed policies and practices of the Department, and with applicable legal standards."

By Jocelyn Williams, '13,'15
In the United States, one in nine babies is born prematurely. Many need to spend several weeks or even months in a newborn intensive care unit.
On Saturday, Oct. 4, the St. Bonaventure University community will have the opportunity to team up with local communities to walk for stronger, healthier babies.
St. Bonaventure has partnered with local corporations, including CUTCO and Seneca Resorts & Casinos, for this year's Western New York March for Babies walk. The 2.6-mile walk begins at 11 a.m. on the campus loop of the Allegheny River Valley Recreation Trail. Registration and money collection begins at 10 a.m. in front of Hickey Dining Hall.
Rick Trietley, vice president of Student Affairs and chair of the March for Babies Olean, expressed the university's delight to have the opportunity to host the event and serve as an official co-sponsor yet again.
"St. Bonaventure remains honored and proud to support this amazing event for such an important organization as the March of Dimes." he said. "It's a wonderful opportunity for St. Bonaventure community members to support a worthy cause, to ensure all babies are born healthy and to demonstrate our Franciscan spirit through action."
Since 1970, the March of Dimes has hosted the March for Babies in 900 communities across the country. The mission is simple: Secure research funding so that, one day, every baby is born healthy.
At the March for Babies Olean Kick-Off Breakfast, Tom Kane, March of Dimes Western New York division director, encouraged everyone to form teams, sign up, set a walker goal, contact sponsors, get out there on Oct. 4 to walk for a good cause and have fun.
"The March of Dimes is the champion for all babies," Kane said. "March for Babies is an opportunity to get involved in something that makes a vital, tangible difference in peoples' lives, and it's something that happens all over America — since 1970. It is the earliest fundraising walk-a-thon to be held in the nation."
More than 4 million babies were born in the United States last year, and March of Dimes helped each one by providing more than 76 years of research, education and breakthroughs.
Last year, March for Babies Olean walkers raised $52,000. This year, the Western New York chapter of March of Dimes set a goal of raising $57,000 in Olean.
A higher donation goal isn't the only goal in mind for Trietley. He hopes to encourage more groups of people to participate.
"One of my personal goals this year as chair is to increase the total number of university community walking teams. We have enjoyed great student participation in previous years, and I would like to see us have the same success with staff and faculty participation," he said.
"Local community members outside of St. Bonaventure are also highly encouraged to participate. I don't want people in Allegany, Olean and other local communities to believe that only St. Bonaventure students and employees can participate. This event is for everyone."
The SBU Student Government Association will award grants to the on-campus student groups with the largest donations raised.
"SGA has really taken this on as their No. 1 fundraiser," said Trietley.
Alex Noguerola, SGA executive board president and a senior political science major from Lowell, Mass., described the grants to be awarded and his thoughts on the event overall.
"This event allows for student organizations to create solidarity within their group for a great cause and helps the university continue to support such a wonderful organization that does and supports important work," Noguerola said.
"We will be awarding four grants this year: one $500 grant for the student group that raises the most money; and three $250 grants — one for the academic club, social/diversity club, and "Big 4" club (CAB, BV, Buzz and intramurals) that raise the most money."
Those interested in walking can sign up a team at www.marchforbabies.org. Each walker will have to fill out a personal profile before registering for a team. Each department should first select a captain, who then can create a team for colleagues to join upon registering. Individuals from departments that might have less than five people participating are welcome to join any of the Bonaventure teams.
March for Babies touches and changes lives with every donation made. Eighty-one cents of every dollar raised goes toward research, programs and educational materials, officials say.
For more information or questions, contact March of Dimes Community Director Brittany Lazickas at firstname.lastname@example.com or (716) 583-9527.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

Notes: Written for watsons_woes July Writing Prompt #3: A character's hidden talent saves the day. (Or not so hidden talent in this case.) My first ever Elementary fic, hope it's okay.
Summary: Warmth is for everyone.
Cold Comfort
"Are you nuts? It's below twenty out there!" Joan hop-shuffled off the last step of the stairs and over to the nearest window to close it on the winter-filled New York street outside.
"I find the chill bracing, Watson." Sherlock sat in lotus position in the middle of the sitting room floor, surrounded by what looked like bowls of dirt and wearing only plaid boxers and a t-shirt. "Conducive to thinking. Like coolant for a superconductor."
Joan rolled her eyes and tried to shove the window closed one handed, not daring to let go of her blanket. "Your brain isn't a superconductor. It's made of meat just like everyone else's and you're going to give both of us hypothermia."
"Nonsense. I have coffee. You have a comforter."
"What about Clyde? He's cold-blooded. He'll die."
Sherlock waved in the direction of the kitchen. Clyde the tortoise was tucked into a box under a heat-lamp on the table, wearing his bumble-bee shell cozy and chewing steadily through a head of radicchio. Joan was briefly jealous.
"Fine." Joan gave up on the window and hop-hobbled back towards the stairs. "You freeze down here, I'm going back to my room. I might set something on fire for warmth."
Sherlock twisted to face her, mouth opening, eyes alert.
With a disappointed grunt, Sherlock resumed staring at his bowls of dirt in the frigid sitting room as Joan grumbled her way up the stairs.
After thumping and shivering to the second floor, Joan shuffled back into her room, clearing the trailing edge of her comforter from the doorway before slamming the door with a hip bump. Teeth starting to chatter, she looked around for some extra source of heat to warm the room up and spotted a fuzzy pinkish lump on a side-table she usually ignored. Knowing who she was living with, she shuffled closer with caution.
When she got close enough, the pinkish lump turned out to be a knitted hat and scarf, made of some exquisitely soft-looking fluffy yarn. It was patterned in seemingly random patches of cream, rose and peach that blended subtly into each other to the point that no patch seemed to have an edge, just a contiguous flow of color. They looked gorgeous, and best of all, warm.
There was a note card on the pile; handmade, powder-blue cardstock, raffia twine ties, a few swift lines on the front suggesting a frosted window frame looking out over quiet snowy streets. Inside, Ms. Hudson's elegant handwriting traced ink arabesques across the card: The tortoise isn't the only one in this household who could use a cozy now and then.
(that's it)

Just when you thought trains and buses weren't cramped enough as it is.
Apr 15, 2016|
Singapore's pretty skyline, gritty nooks and quaint back alleys are great backdrops for making out, whether or not you live with your parents. Here are some of the classier ones we know, near places you might actually be for a date. Have fun!
The ambience: This spot is equal parts prettiness and convenience. Take the discreet set of stairs next to Siang Cho Keong Temple and enjoy a postage-stamp sized city park with winding paths and ample benches.
Great for when: You're on a mid-week CBD date; you've just had drinks at Spiffy Dapper, or dinner at Meat Smith or one of the many restaurants and bars in the area.
Watch out for: Hordes of drunk dude bros, though you can usually hear them coming from a mile away.
The ambience: There are make-out spots aplenty at this sprawling, leafy arts enclave, but the second floor of the magnificent, colonial-era main building is great late at night, when the galleries on the second floor have closed. Climb up, lean against the balcony railing, all framed by pretty arches, and make your move.
Great for when: You're done with dinner at Naked Finn, a bit of dancing and barbecue at Art After Dark, or Red Baron has just closed for the night
Watch out for: Mosquitos, and other people who've had the same idea.
The ambience: The bay on one side, the glass and light skeleton of The Shoppes on the other, the Helix Bridge ahead (also not a bad spot), a massive concrete lotus flower overhead and an Anish Kapoor sculpture among the lily ponds that surround you. If that's not a top urbanite make-out spot, we don't know what is. For your info, the museum closes at 7pm and the Shoppes at 11:30pm.
Great for when: You've just been to ArtScience Late, had a huge fight while shopping at The Shoppes, seen an over-the-hill rock band at MasterCard Theatres or can still stand the thought of sex after all the screaming toddlers at the otherwise beautiful teamLAB permanent exhibition.
Watch out for: Tourists.
Photo credit: Flickr user WL
The ambience: Everyone (and their mom) has had romantic moments at East Coast Park, but we want to make sure you know about this sweet little rocky jetty just past the National Sailing Centre, where you can watch the planes descend into Changi. It's a bit tricky to get to. Get to camping area G, walk out to the shore, then hang a left and keep walking away from civilization until you get to the rock jetties.
Great for when: It's not the kind of place you can visit spontaneously, so it's actually great for an anniversary or some occasion where you really want to impress them with a fancy picnic and a smooch sesh.
Watch out for: Cockroaches that emerge after dark. And fishing uncles before that.
The ambience: The hilltop park is full of little nooks and crannies and benches to steal a kiss or two, but we're partial to a particular set of concrete stairs that lead down from the area behind the now-defunct Pinacotheque and overlook the beautiful Fort Canning Hotel.
Great for when: You've just had dinner at Fort by Maison Ikkoku, or need a quiet spot in the middle of Neon Lights or one of those big concerts.
Watch out for: Overzealous ushers/security from the music festivals and drunken festival goers getting french fries at a nearby booth.
Photo credit: Flickr user Choo Yut Shing
The ambience: We really hope you know about this one already. It's not the most original spot in the world, but the glowing lights and cozy little alcoves make this overhead bridge cutting across Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mt Faber Park pretty sweet--just be prepared to share the space with other couples.
Great for when: You've just finished a late-night run and don't mind a sweaty smooch.
Watch out for: CCTV cameras--especially if your affair is on the down-low.
The ambience: If the mood strikes when you're in the Orchard/Bras Basah area, there is the compact Mt Emily Park a short walk away. Terraced rather than sprawling, it offers plenty of privacy. Just walk up the quiet, residential Sophia Road and climb up the narrow set of concrete stairs that appear on the right.
Great for when: You've been dining at Artichoke, flirting at Objectifs, dancing at Kult Kafe or checking out Willin Low's Wild Rocket.
Watch out for: Dengue.
The ambience: If your idea of a romantic kiss involves heights and city lights rather than nature, we can't recommend this rooftop at Esplanade highly enough. It's sprawling and irregularly shaped, so it's very easy to get away from the crowds and find a quiet corner to lean against the edge and survey the city together.
Great for when: You're having drinks, or have just been to a show at the Esplanade.
Watch out for: Your bill. Don't forget to pay it before sauntering away from your table.
The ambience: One of the prettiest spots in the city is wonderfully hushed and devoid of traffic at night, especially after 9pm. You can smooch on the grand steps of the National Gallery or in the middle of the Padang, with the twinkling lights of the Esplanade and the Flyer smiling over you.
Great for when: You've just finished dinner at Aura or had a magical time at Odette (or one of the other restaurants at the National Gallery).
Watch out for: Voyeurs drinking at the fancy terraces at the National Gallery.
The ambience: Our favorite parking lot bar behind our favorite independent cinema closed unceremoniously for renovations, and we're devastated. But still, there are plenty of cozy spots to kiss in this gritty parking lot. The chic bar furniture may not be around to lend your session some class, but there are still the whipping breezes and distant views of the CBD and the Kallang area.
Great for when: You've just watched a heartbreaking Iranian film and need to be comforted.
Watch out for: Your favorite Golden Mile place closing because you got too caught up in the moment.
Photo credit: Flickr user Premshree Pillai
The ambience: More than the narrow, maze-like streets and low-rise Art Deco buildings, we love the narrow alleys that cut through this estate, with rows of back doors on either side. They're quaintly pretty and Instagrammable in the daytime, but at night, in the light of streetlamps, they're quite magical.
Great for when: You've just had dinner at Ikyu or Open Door Policy (or the Tiong Bahru Market), or just gotten out of a racy IndigNation reading at BooksActually.
Watch out for: Restaurant workers taking out the trash.
Just when you thought trains and buses weren't cramped enough as it is.

Business is tough. Just watching TV shows like the BBC's 'Dragons Den' shows that whether pitching an idea or an established business, numbers count and knowing your market matters. Even the Dragons themselves, or other leading business figures, have got it wrong. The difference though, is that they have also got it very right and have built successful companies (mainly from scratch).
So how do you build a successful business? There are lots of business articles that give different pieces of advice on how to go about turning your company into the next big thing, so we've pulled together a few of the best tips and hints which will hopefully help give you a push in the right direction.
- Business development is not just about sales. It's about identifying and creating business relationships that drive revenue, but also increase usage of your product or service. Don't get get weighed down by figures alone; yes target is important, but it's also about ensuring that the prospective customer converts feeling that their needs have been listened to and you have provided a suitable solution.
- Post deal management is key. The reason why you sold is because of an effective sales process, which is built upon accountability and proactive management. Having a strong account manager and/or team can make all the difference when it comes to retaining customers long term, which is why having the right incentives in place ensures that you maintain consistency within the account management team, as well as the service delivered to customers.
- Establish a framework for assessing opportunity. To ensure that you maintain support from your business development team, it's about understanding why the deal makes sense for your company – does it drive revenue, lead to new users or enable you to enter a new market or vertical? By setting clear and measurable goals, it's then easier to address issues such as why business development are converting below projections.
- Make sure you take action. Don't forget about your business plan. It can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day operations or put your plan in a drawer, but by ensuring that you're in a position to assess your progress at key points – quarterly, six month, year end – to see if you've reached your set goals. If not, you can create an action plan and set deadlines to accomplish them.
- Could your website do with a makeover? Does your current site still reflect what you do? If there is outdated information on there or a product or service no longer available is still listed, this will affect how potential customers view your business. Ensure that your website is able to be viewed on mobile and tablet devices so that your product or service can be accessed on the move, as well as office based.
- Take charge of your finances. If you're not already credit checking, then this is definitely something you need to consider to ensure the continued success of your business. By using company credit reports, you can evaluate the credit status of your existing customers and those you're approaching for new business. The reports help you to make more informed business decisions when it comes to extending credit. Also, by identifying where payment issues may arise amongst your customer base, you can ensure that your budgeting and forecasting reflect this information.
- Celebrate your successes. It doesn't matter how busy you are, it's important to take the time to celebrate when you, your staff and business achieve set goals. Taking time out away from the office to recognise strong results will re-energise you and your team for the next challenge.
- Make yourself an expert. You are as crucial a part of your business as the idea which started it; so you need to turn yourself into an expert within your chosen industry. Speak at relevant events, write a business blog and give advice to related groups on LinkedIn. It's about becoming the hub of your network so that when someone Googles your industry, your name comes up first. It's a chance to PR your business and also show credibility.
- Build a strong company culture. It's about creating an identity which is uniquely yours and something all your employees can associate with. Think of your company culture as a football team: your business should have a common cause, a common goal and should know its competition. The culture you create – whether it's a wellbeing day or drinks at the same pub every Friday – has a direct effect on the marketplace, because your staff remain engaged with your business' journey.
- Do you employ expanders or containers? There are two kinds of people in business – expanders and containers – and learning to separate them into the right category can save you time when it comes to findinig the right balance of employees. 'Expanders' like to push the boundary, take risks and make new friends, whilst 'Containers' like to keep things in order and stay on top of the details (inenvitably keeping your business safe from losing money). However, it's not about employing one or the other, but instead finding the right blend of both to have a positive impact on your business.
- Understand the risks and rewards. The key to being succesful in business is being able to take calculated risks. A good question to ask yourself is "What's the downside?", if you can answer this question then you know what the worst case scenario is. This is where using company credit reports and monitoring services can help inform these risk calculations further, and will pay dividends when you're able to avoid making a detrimental business move or investment with the company.
Being successful in business doesn't happen overnight but with the right tools in place, you can make a start and see where the future takes you.

A bad day being fog bound in Norwich for most of it, but the evening at the `Cherry' made up for it.
As always greeted with the usual friendliness. The food was great and the locals are always good for a chat, especially if on your own and I would recommend any business traveller to Perth to give it a go. The rooms are clean, warm and a good value for money. See you next time around ..............

comfortable quiet city hotel
Very good easy to locate Inn not far of the motorway.
Plenty of parking space and a regular bus service (every 10 mins or so) into city centre, though its only a brisk 15 min walk. Hotel gives a nice friendly warm welcome and they pour a lovely cold pint as well. Room was out the back of the Inn which made it nice and quiet for a peaceful nights sleep. Room itself was ample and handy having a fridge for your cold drinks etc and tea and snack tray and also toiletries supplied good as well. Breakfast just perfect served with a smile. Would certainly stay again when in Perth.

Cherry Bank - A lovely little Inn!
A great little Inn.
Rooms very clean and warm. Excellent for short-term stays. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Pub grub food, but very reasonably priced and good quality. I've tried a number of hotels in Perth for my business visits, but I won't be anymore. The Cherry Bank beats them all for value.

A great base for travellers .

I would highly recommend staying here, the food was great and the staff are very friendly they made you feel at home and treated you as a valued customer, we will dif go back again
A Great Vibrant Inn For Short Stays
I choose the Cherry Bank, primarily because of it's location for my business.
But also because I've stayed in other Hotels in Perth and although found them to be `acceptable', I prefer something with a bit more atmosphere at the end of the working day. The Cherry Bank certainly has that. Frequented by lots of local friendly people, the staff are great, service is second to none and the food is surperb value for money. The rooms are also clean & roomy and if a TV addict, there are more channels that you can possibly manage. I'll certainly be staying there again for future visits. Hope to see you there.

Just about adequate
Room would have been better if the bathroom sink drained properly, the toiled flushed properly and the shaving light worked.
We booked a double but got a twin room; the staff were too busy with the bar/restaurant side of the business to discuss the shortfalls. Food in crowded restaurant nothing special.

American Impressionism and the popularity of gardening as a leisure activity is the focus of a major exhibition opening Oct. 3 at Reynolda House Museum of American Art. The museum will be the third of only five venues nationwide to host "The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887–1920." The exhibition will be on view in Winston-Salem Oct. 3, 2015–Jan. 3, 2016.
Other venues:
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts February 13 – May 24, 2015
Chrysler Museum of Art: June 16 – September 6, 2015
The Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Gardens: January 23 – May 9, 2016
Florence Griswold Museum: Summer June 3 – September 18, 2016
This national exhibition, featuring what Philadelphia Magazine called "the best of the genre," includes the work of the American Impressionist artists William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Cecilia Beaux, Maria Oakey Dewing, Frederick Carl Frieseke, John Twachtman, and J. Alden Weir.
Frieseke's Hollyhocks (Among the Hollyhocks) is among the many
iconic examples of American Impressionism in the exhibition.
"These artists were responsible for revolutionizing art in America by bringing Impressionism from France to America for the first time," said Allison Slaby, Reynolda House curator. "They fell in love with the freshness, light, and color of French Impressionism and found that gardens, whether in Europe or America, were the perfect places to experiment with this new style."
"The Artist's Garden" is organized by themes that include American artists' visits to European gardens, the enthusiasm for gardening among women, the urban garden, the artist's garden, and the garden in winter. The exhibition and its accompanying catalog include representations of gardens across the United States and Europe.
Many artists in this period were avid gardeners who adapted their own yards to become subjects for their work. Their models included the great palace gardens of Europe, such as the Villa Corsi-Salviati near Florence, where
William Merritt Chase painted An Italian Garden in 1909, a spectacular sun-drenched study of formal walls and terraces.
Others preferred the more intimate flower-filled yards of Claude Monet, as seen in
John Leslie Breck's Garden at Giverny (In Monet's Garden), painted between 1887 and 1891, a scene of tall flowers crowding around a slender dirt path.
The exhibition explores these choices: how artists organized their gardens, what they planted, and why certain flowers were favorites.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Impressionist artists who had studied en plein air (outdoors, often in the countryside) in France were bringing home lessons to apply in an American context. Paintings in "The Artist's Garden" show domesticated landscapes set in the suburbs, or even in the middle of the city, such as
The Hovel and the Skyscraper by Childe Hassam (1859-1935), which shows New York's Central Park.
Unlike the notion of Manifest Destiny that pervaded the paintings of American landscape artists such as Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902), these are domestic pictures about yards, parks, and gardens, often with urban backdrops—not imposing mountains.
At this time, industrialization had made its mark on the landscape; it also had made its mark on the garden movement. People had more free time for gardening in new suburban backyards, and railroads allowed for daytrips to the countryside—giving city dwellers a taste of nature. Scientific innovation was being applied to plants, creating hybrid varieties optimized for color or hardiness. While humans had long grown plants for reasons other than bare sustenance, the late 19th century saw an explosion of garden hobbyists. They in turn were provided with seeds, tools, and fertilizer by horticultural suppliers. These suppliers used new hybridizing techniques to create ever larger and brighter flowers and bigger and more colorful fruits and vegetables.
Philip Leslie Hale (1865-1931), The Crimson Rambler, ca. 1908, oil on canvas, 25 1/4 x 30 3/16 in. Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Joseph E. Temple Fund.
The Crimson Rambler by Philip Leslie Hale (1865-1931), shows a simple summer scene with a woman next to a cascade of roses. While completely bucolic and unthreatening, the painting is informed by modern life. It features a recently hybridized rose variety that had been developed using scientific techniques. Wildly popular, the Crimson Rambler was widely advertised in garden supply catalogs. Much like the fashionable dress and hat worn by the woman in the painting, this was an absolutely contemporary and sophisticated rose.
"Painters at the time depicted what was near and familiar to them, which also happened to be really modern at the time," said Glisson. For example,
Snow, by John Henry Twachtman (1853-1902), shows the artist's backyard covered in snow. Twachtman, a member of the new suburban class, lived in southern Connecticut close to the railroad so he could commute into New York City whenever he needed. Though not a farmer, he lavished care on his suburban yard.
Read Anna Marley's article, "The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887—1920," published in the 15th anniversary issue of Antiques & Fine Art magazine.
A fully illustrated catalog, awarded a David R. Coffin grant from the Foundation for Landscape Studies and published in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania Press, accompanies the exhibition. In addition to an introduction and essay by Anna Marley, the publication features essays by Alan C. Braddock, James Glisson, Erin Leary, Katie A. Pfohl, Judith B. Tankard, and Virginia Grace Tuttle, along with a foreword by John Dixon Hunt.

I've been trying my hand at a lot of digital photography, without any training and only having read the manual accompanying the camera. I'm actually having a wonderful time. It's a great solace as I go through a rough emotional time. It also calls on any artistic sense I have; trying to squeeze what I'm seeing into a barely discernible tiny square on the camera -- that goes unseeable in bright light, LOL! Not to mention that I think the challenge is helping to keep what brain cells I have left alive.
Now to The Tarot: I just googled to find out the name of the flowers in the above photo. And not surprisingly found that they are called Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia). As I read that it hit me, Judgment! Of course! No wonder this particular shot was so important for me to get down in at least a decent way. I actually went back to this Catholic church again a couple of days after my first shots because I just wasn't getting up close enough, or was at entirely the wrong angle. I'm still not totally happy with this shot, but it's getting close. And it can be said to be a found Judgment card. :-)
So life at large offered me a one card reading and it took me several days to get it. A new life is calling! Wake up! Yes, clean up whatever needs work from the old life, finish the mourning. But hear that trumpet call, don't ignore it's encouragement and energy.
See? We don't even have to have a Tarot deck at hand to have the Great Mystery offer us help via The Tarot's images. What a tremendous gift these images are.
P.S. Duh! I just happened to re-read my previous post, and guess which card is the first in the reading? Yup, Judgment, and that call to a new life. Well, I guess I should be grateful that when I fall asleep The Tarot images are there to wake me up with a clarion call. :-)
P.P.S. Of course now I'm wondering what other Tarot images I've missed in the slew of photos I've been taking ... so I'm off to check them out.
'til next time, keep responding to the gifts that the Tarot offers,
[aka: Patricia Kelly]

I'm tearing into the Player's Handbook finally. I thought I'd share a bit of my technique. I don't know if I'm doing anything unusual here (or wrong) but it works for me.
I obviously try and keep things error free and consistent while I'm writing but that's never enough to get it right. It is important though to do a healthy amount of error checking as early on as possible. Without worrying about quality, editing later would be a nightmare.
Stat blocks are usually my downfall. Along with importing old text, I hate having to re-write, and I should just get over it. Stat blocks need exacting consistency and vehicles are really huge stat blocks so you can guess where a lot of my errors are. I usually copy one stat block and then modify the contents, but that introduces the problem of having fields that look like they've already been filled in, when it's really old data. Things like prices, or the mass of an object can get overlooked.
For some reason, with me, having a printed book in front of me is better than looking at a book on my iPad a thousand times. I read with more clarity on dead tree and marking up a page is easier than any pdf editor I've seen. For short documents in the 20-40 page range, I print out the book, usually with two pages to a sheet of paper and make a booklet by folding the pages in half. For longer works, I've used lulu.com in the past to print out the book. I'm moving to Amazon Createspace, but they're less forgiving and more of a hassle to deal with. There are more hoops to jump through. That's good for a finished product, but I'm looking for a quick and dirty mock up.
Once I have my dead tree version in hand, I use a red pen or marker to start noting any errors I see. I've used blue or black, but it's easier to lose notes made in more mundane colors. Especially when I'm noting that I missed a space. Red, almost universally stands out more.
Most of my notes are simple. If something is out of place, I'll use an arrow to point to where it should be. If something is incorrect, like a number, or spelling it gets circled. In most cases, I remember what was wrong just looking at the circled item. In some I forget why I circled it, but after examination I can figure it out. Other times I need to write an actual note to myself about what I want to do with an edit. One of my common notes is "awk" as in awkward. After reading a sentence or a whole paragraph, it doesn't convey the thought clearly or concisely. It's awkwardly worded. This note usually requires that I throw the current paragraph out and start over, it's not retrievable. A fresh take is the only thing that's going to unstick my brain.
There are of course lots of simple notes, like adding an "s" or an "ing" to the end of a word, usually because the spellchecker didn't like the suffix and dropped it. I know that I was up late writing when I see that I okayed the change. Write it in red after the word an move on.
So once I'm done with my edits, I go into the digital file and start making the changes I indicated. When I make the change, I write the date next to my edit. This lets me know that I actually fixed the problem and when.
I'll usually go through the book again afterwards to make sure I didn't miss any edits and that I still agree with them. If I find that I've missed some, I repeat the process over again, until my check runs clean.
Then the book is ready for prime time. (I hope.)

A man's erection is for the most part a touchy issue for them.
The dread and need to fulfill one's accomplice makes anyone aware of the extent of their erect penis.
The normal length of an erect penis shifts from 5 to 7 inches long.
At the point when not happy with their erection, numerous men these days are going for amplifying erection pills .
Notwithstanding, nowadays it appears that the media are making sure that no man could ever be happy with the nature of their erection.
Regular, individual email inboxes are overwhelmed with a thousand of spam adverts about erection upgrading pills , gloating that the enchantment pill can significantly broaden the span of the erect penis, both as far as length and width.
Moment comes about are similarly promoted, which is one element about erection pills that truly pull in buyers.
It would not be a distortion to state that the moment impact of these pills is in actuality the USP (Unique Selling Proposition) of that specific item, when contrasted with other accessible medicines and answers for enhance erections, for example, penis fixes and works out.
Other than accomplishing harder erections, erection pills upgrade the client's capacity to hold his erection for an any longer day and age, increment his sex drive or charisma, and additionally improve the amount of semen, sperm, and discharge, consequently by and large improving sexual delight and male fruitfulness.

Apple & Sage Pork Chops
Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes
Garlic Lime Fajitas
Quesadilla Casserole
Spanish Chicken Skillet
Shrimp & Pasta Primavera.
Each package sells for $1.99.
I must have been staring intensely because a fellow shopper commented, "I am sure the spice you're looking for is there somewhere" as he passed. But I was no longer shopping. I was thinking:
"Has it really come to this? Are we this lazy and inept we can no longer measure our own spices. "Here are the spices included with Shrimp & Pasta Primavera:
Garlic, onion, dill weed, black pepper, and thyme.
Black Pepper! Doesn't everyone own black pepper? And Quesadilla Casserole comes with salt. Salt and pepper sold in pre-measured plastic packages ~ what a waste.
Supposedly, the product is designed for the newbie cook who doesn't own a large variety of seasonings. Recipe Inspirations give them the opportunity to sample a more unusual spice to see if they like it before investing in an entire container.
I have a better idea. Take Spanish Chicken Skillet which includes:
Paprika, garlic, red pepper, thyme, and black pepper.
Why doesn't McCormick give away a free sample of one of the spices as a grocery store giveaway, include the recipe and a coupon for a future purchase and call it a day.

Recently I went to the annual French Festival at Como house and thought I would wear the French colours to fit in with the theme of the day. C'est magnifique as the French say!
I love red and navy blue, such a great combination.

In between drinking lots of red wine and eating fabulous Brie cheese and crackers, I went on a little tour of Como House. It is sooooo me - lots of old furniture and bits and bobs. It is well worth a visit . . .
Look at this - the most beautiful pair of gloves and a real live box from Georges Department Store! (formerly the best department store on Collins Street, Melbourne) - everyone talks about how wonderful this store was . . .
And my personal favourite - vintage canisters!
And last but not least, a cute little tea cosy in the dining room of the 'servant's quarters'

Character Creation in Fallout 4 is rather interesting. The interface is easy to use and navigate but it allows to change a lot of different parameters of your hero's face and body.
When you start the game you will be asked to create a new hero. You willbegin with customizing face.
First of all you need to select a part you wish to modify with your controller. Hover the part of a face and you will see pop-up menu in the bottom part of the screen with available changing options. For example if you hover the nose you can see that you can scale its size, change length, make it wider and so on.
If you hover character's jaw you will be able to add facial hair. There are different types of facial hair available.
Of course you can select a female character if you wish. This can be done by pressing "Y" button. The female's customization is as simple as male's.
The interface is rather powerful and allows to create great appearance. Developers said that they used this system for customizing in game NPCs.
After you finish with the appearance you will start playing the game. But it's not the end of creation process…You will appear in your house. There are several rooms there and a flying robot Codsworth in the kitchen. You can move and explore but soon you will hear that someone knocks the door. You open the door and see a Vault-Tec agent. He will offer you to secure your future by using underground fallout shelters. He will ask you to fill some information and that's where second part of character creation begins.
Vault-Tec needs to know what kind of citizen you are to ensure your future happiness. You will see a screen where you need to enter you name and customize your Attributes:
Total amount of attribute points you receive in the beginning is 21 and you need to spend all of them. Every point can be spent for increasing one of the characteristics. You can spend all points for only one attribute or distribute them.
A guy in the demo video from E3 2015 used following build:
It doesn't mean that you also have to distribute points like he did. You can create your own build according to your future plans and expectations.
After you finish distributing your attribute points you will start playing Fallout 4.
It's important to distribute SPECIAL points correctly because each attribute has 10 perks connected with it. Perks allow to increase definite abilities of your character and unlock new powers. Here is a list of perks in Fallout 4:

I'm really enjoying the creative mixture of materials and concepts from Hairy Sock, including this eccentric "Drown in a Blossom" hair pin! I also really like the way the website is laid out; you can search by concept, type, and materials (including "hair"). There are also some wonderful photographs that make you look twice and some cool fashion shoots using illustration and costume. Worth checking out for inspiration! (Via Swiss Miss

I know that pumpkin soup doesn't really seem "seasonal" in December... but every year after Thanksgiving, I am left with an assortment of pumpkins and gourds that are still good, but no longer useful for decorating since it's now the beginning of the Christmas season....
(I love the light this time of year! When the sun is low on the horizon, it's the best for photography... No wonder the paintings by the Dutch masters are fabulous, the light must be incredible there all the time... but I digress....)
Usually I just leave them laying around on the back porch until they rot because I can't bring myself to throw them out, but I don't quite know what to do with them... This year I decided to actually put them to use and roast them and make some soup.
Butternut squash- I halved it and scooped out the seeds with a spoon.
This white pumpkin revealed a lovely creamy colored interior....
Finally got it open! Scooped the out the inside of this one too.
Lovely cross section of the "Cinderella" pumpkin- the color on this one was gorgeous and very dense.
Once the insides were scooped out, I placed the pumpkins on a foil lined baking sheet, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled generously with salt.
Next I roasted everything at 400 degrees for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the flesh was tender.
When cool enough to handle, I peeled the skin from the pumpkins.
Look at that funky yellow gourd now! The skin was still so hard that I couldn't peel it, so I used a spoon to scoop out the cooked flesh. A nice surprise was that the rind held its shape really nicely and make a lovely serving bowl (see first photo).
I placed all of the cooked pumpkin and gourd into a blender in batches. I added a generous amount of chicken broth to the pumpkin in the blender until I was able to puree it.
The color of the puree was incredible... And it made a lot of puree, something like 30 cups. I used some for my soup, and put the rest in containers in the freezer so I can make more soup in the future.
So now... the actual recipe! Making the puree from the pumpkins was quite time consuming, but making the soup itself was really quick and easy. (And now that I have so much puree in the freezer, there will be lots of soup to come...)
10 cups pumpkin puree
1 T. nutmeg
1 T. curry powder
2 tsp chili powder
2-3 cups water
1 pint lite cream
Additional water, chicken broth, or milk for thinning
Place pumpkin puree, spices, and water in a large pot and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add cream and heat through (do not boil). Add additional liquid for desired consistency.
Serve & enjoy....
Click here for PDF of recipe.
Oh, and those little gourds that didn't make it into the soup? They got sprayed with metallic paint and arranged on the mantle:
What do you do with your pumpkins and gourds after you've finished using them for decorations? Do you just keep them around until they rot? Cook them? Or do you have any other creative ideas for them?

5. Give as much leverage as you can by providing all the web 2.0 features.
Ex: Addthis , tell a friend, embed code, downloading, sharing, bookmarking options and easy publishing to Social media
6. Always place an option for comments.
7. Viral ad should be simple and powerful. Don't do complicated line ads. People will lose interest.
8. Don't place login and register to view your viral ad,this will make the person who is a little bit interested think a second time about your company.
