To say it has been a great year is truly an understatement. It has been amazing! I'm still as excited about Sketch Support as I was on January 1, 2011.
Thank you so much to our creative team, followers, fans, readers, sketch users and anyone else that doesn't cover for making this first year a wonderful success. I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to another year full of sketches and I can't wait for you to see what our new creative team can do in 2012!
I say we celebrate with a Sketches for Scrapbooking giveaway! Tell us which Sketch Support sketch from 2011 is your favorite in the comments on this post. We'll randomly select three winners to receive a volume of Sketches for Scrapbooking, volume choice is all yours. You've got until Wednesday, January 4 and we'll announce the winner on Friday, January 6.

I like #12 single page because I usually have plenty of horizontal 4x6 photos.

I really loved sketch #18 for summer pages ;) The 2 pagers are my favorite!

two page sketch 17 is one of my favourites.

My favourite is 2 page sketch #8.
I used is many times.

- Joanne said...
Honestly, I have too many favourites to list! Ive completed a few pages this past year using your sketches and I really hope your here to stay! :) Thanks for sharing all this inspiration for free :)
- January 1, 2012 at 3:08 AM
I love them all but #11 I have used in probably each of my own books from camping to traveling. I like being able to use a number of pictures. Thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into this. I look forward each day to seeing what you've posted and appreciate the unique inspiration.

My favorite was sketch #12. I've used it so many times! It's very clean and versatile. Thanks for the chance to win! I LOVE Sketch Support!!
- January 1, 2012 at 5:48 AM
Let me just say - impossible to pick just one. These sketches have energized my scrapbooking this past year! But if I had to pick, I love #13 - the banners are just too cute!
- January 1, 2012 at 6:39 AM
- beccaf1970 said...
I've used lots of them, but my favorite is two-page sketch #12. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I don't scrapbook without your sketches. I leave the basic design to you and I get to concentrate on supporting my photos and story with beautiful papers and embellishments. Sketches for Scrapbooking have made me proud of my finished pages! Because I am forced to choose only one, I pick two-pager #12.
- January 1, 2012 at 7:03 AM
- BrendaB said...
I love two-page sketch #18, because of the mix of photo sizes. I had gotten away from two-page layouts, but thanks to your sketches, I'm getting back to them again!
- January 1, 2012 at 7:16 AM
- Rodriguez Family said...
I love #12. It's a classic I can use over and over! I like that there isn't much photo trimming necessary! Thanks for "making" me go back through them all... I can see there are a few awesome ones I haven't used as much!!!
Love your work, keep them coming!
Happy 2012!

Happy New Year everyone! Congrats Allison on Sketch Supports 1st anniversary. I love all your sketches, and such inspiration from the creative team. Can't pick a favorite ... I've used so many of them. (I already have all your books so I don't need to win one)

Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary!
It seems like each new sketch is the new fave for me...right now I am loving the one pager #16
But #17 in the two pagers is an all time favorite for me!
- January 1, 2012 at 8:25 AM
- Marcia Dehn-Nix said...
I love the 2 page sketches and #17 is my favorite. The stars could be changed to be something else; like hearts, for a Valentine layout. LOVE it.
- January 1, 2012 at 9:01 AM
- seashell said...
i really like the 2 page sketches sketch #4 is one of my favorites.

It's tough to choose because they are all great, but I really like the little details of one page sketch #13! Happy New Year & Happy Birthday! :)
- January 1, 2012 at 9:27 AM
- Beth Hallgren said...
Sketch # 2 is my favorite! Because the layout I made it is may favorite of the year :)
Happy New Year to you Allison and to the past and upcoming team! Looking forward to the new sketches and all the inspiration to come :)
- January 1, 2012 at 9:55 AM
- Christel said...
Well the sketch from 12-10-10 is my most favorite, but really anything with 9 or more photos and 2 pages is my favorite. I really like the one with 19 photos. I could do a lot with that one.
Happy New Year!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:10 AM
- Teddra said...
Two-page sketch #12 is the one I reach for again and again. Love the sketches and Happy Anniversary!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:12 AM
- dlhfks said...
This is hard because I love and have scrapped every one of the two page sketches. If I had to choose it would be #18. Thanks for continuing another year.
- January 1, 2012 at 10:14 AM
- Colleen said...
It's hard to choose because there are so many great ones, but I love one-page #13. Can't wait to see what you and the design team show us this year!

I really like Two Page Sketch #18. It was very realistic to how I scrap and I didn't have to make many modifications. I switched the banner for flying snowflakes and it turned out awesome!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Happy 1st birthday! If i have to pick just one sketch I'll go with #12.
- January 1, 2012 at 10:45 AM
- blupixy said...
I have to pick just one? I am really digging the one page sketch #16 that has just been posted! Can't wait to get scrapping with that one!
- January 1, 2012 at 11:13 AM
- Anna said...
They are all awesome so its hard to pick a fav but I'll go with single page #12!! Happy New Year!!!
- January 1, 2012 at 11:18 AM

Congratulations!!! Sketch Support is such an inspiration!
I love 2-page #11 and #13 - they're so versatile!
- January 1, 2012 at 11:21 AM
- Leslie Kiley said...
#18 if I have to pick! Love every one and can say I will use them all at some point! Happy New Year!
- January 1, 2012 at 11:45 AM
I do mostly two page layouts so I chose my favorite from that section. It is #17 using the stars it works great especially when I scrap my kids sports pictures. Thanks for the last year. Before heading off to work every morning I always check this web site.Thanks again Sandy for Missouri

I definitely love the 2 pages sketches, and one of my favourites is # 19... Many pictures !!!
Thanks so much and happy 2012 !!!

I love sketch #11 - love the 2-page LOs, but I'm finding that I am actually doing a lot of 1-pagers!
- January 1, 2012 at 12:16 PM
- charli said...
I like card sketch #1--the circles are great and Melissa's birdie card is fab!
- January 1, 2012 at 12:33 PM

congrats!!! My fav is one page sketch 13 -- just love the big and little photos on it!

I love sketch #8. Kathy
- January 1, 2012 at 1:17 PM
- Sandy said...
My favorite 2-page is #4, and my favorite 1-page also is #4. Love 'em!
- January 1, 2012 at 1:50 PM
- jengd said...
Truthfully, I really like last week's and especially the one before that- Two-page Sketch #23. The 2nd page just sang to me because I tend to scrap a LOT of photos on a spread and I work very linearly.
- January 1, 2012 at 1:52 PM
- suzeyq said...
I liked #23 also! You could just fit soo many pics!
- January 1, 2012 at 2:26 PM
- Cynthia B. said...
Happy, happy birthday, Sketch Support! Thanks for all the inspiration.
I have many favorite sketches of yours, but since I have the most problems with 2-pagers, I'll pick one of those: Two-page sketch #18.
Thank you - and here's to many more years of birthdays for your site. :)
- January 1, 2012 at 2:36 PM
- CodyandTraci said...
I love all the 2 page layouts, but because I have to choose only one I would pick 2 page layout #2 because I used that one even though it was out of my comfort zone and I loved the results. Thank you for all the inspiration! Happy Birthday!!! Traci
- January 1, 2012 at 2:48 PM
- ruth said...
#12 is my fave (or most used), but they are all amazing!!
- January 1, 2012 at 3:02 PM
- Ann E. said...
One page sketch #5 is my favorite. It is so versatile I adapted it for an 8X8 layout using only one photo.
- January 1, 2012 at 3:10 PM
- Spokanemom said...
It's a toss up between #9 and #13, but I think it will have to be #13. I am both a one and two page scrapper and it works so well for both. Happy Birthday!!
- January 1, 2012 at 3:46 PM
- Amy said...
I liked two page #19.
- January 1, 2012 at 4:02 PM
- Joanna said...
I liked sketch 18 the best. Thanks for a chance to win.
- January 1, 2012 at 4:04 PM
Love sketch them all but 2 pg #17 and #9 ... The add ons have been fun as well as the card sketches. Thank you for a great year full of inspiration!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:07 PM
- Cassie said...
I have too many favorites to just pick one. I love the variety of the single and double page layouts. Keep up he great work and have a wonderful 2012!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:08 PM
- Amy C said...
I love the two page #10 layout.....so many fab ones, it was hard to pick a favorite, though. ;)
- January 1, 2012 at 4:12 PM
- lynda said...
I like the two page spread #10. I

I love the card sketches. Number 8 is one of my favourite layouts. I am not a card maker and I love that the card sketches are so versatile!!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:18 PM
- Michelle said...
It is so hard to pick just one, I love all the sketches. But I would say #12 was a favorite as I have used it several times, but I am also loving #23.
- January 1, 2012 at 4:19 PM
What a hard decision to make! I have to go with the Two-Page Sketch #6.
- January 1, 2012 at 4:21 PM
- stephanie patterson said...
I really like the Two-page Sketch #18 from August. I use a lot of 4x6 horizontal and this is a great sketch for that!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:24 PM

I can't believe it's been a year already! I miss you gals already! Happy Birthday to Sketch Support and Allison, you have done such an incredible job running this place. (Please don't enter me in the giveaway.)

What a great way to start off the new year, by celebrating a birthday!! :) I am so excited about the upcoming year and serving on the SS Team with some amazing Ladies!! :)
- January 1, 2012 at 4:33 PM
- Elizabeth said...
Happy Birthday SS! I love Page 1 Sketch 2 from Jan 24, 2011! I love sketches that incorporate different sized photos. Make me think outside my comfort zone. Thanks!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:35 PM
I liked the one page #13. I loved the picture size and those flags! I also loved all of the card sketches! They really helped me out this year!
Happy birthday!

- January 1, 2012 at 4:39 PM
I also have a hard time deciding which of the scrapbook sketches are my favorite. I have made two-page sketch 3 at least twice, but they are all great!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:41 PM
- AllieZ said...
My favorite is sketch #18 in August. I love fitting lots of pics on a layout. Thanks for sharing them!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:55 PM
I like 2 page sketch # 5 the best. I found some adorable pics of my kiddos from 2003 and that sketch fit the pics perfectly!
Congrats on your 1 year anniversary. Keep up the great work!!

The most recent 2 page one #23. It was just awesome! I love, love, love the trees!
- January 1, 2012 at 4:57 PM
- Crystal aka Caitlynsmommy said...
I love them all but for some reason Card sketch 8 comes to mind, probably because it is one of my favorite layouts I did this year.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:03 PM
- Jill said...
I am looking forward to 2 page sketch #23! Love the 2 page layouts that allow me to use lots of photos
- January 1, 2012 at 5:14 PM
- kimmcc69 said...
I really loved all of your two page sketches because I do a lot of two pagers. I think my favorite from the past year was two page sketch #17. I loved the big element on the page and it could be adapted to so many different themes. I've used it for 2 or 3 layouts. Keep up the good work.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:15 PM
- PamS said...
The one page sketch #14 is probably my favorite. Even though I do 2 page layouts in my scrapbooks probably 80% of my pages are one page and they cotain 5 photos of different sizes. I have used this page as a guide with the title on the top, on the bottom, in the middle and down the side.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:20 PM
- scrapcreator said...
Do I have to choose just one? OK, #9 I have used several times so I'd have to say that it is my favorite at this moment. I just used #11 for a Daytona layout and I am thinking about using #23 or #14 for my Year in Review.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:43 PM
- Lisa P said...
I think every 2 page sketch is on my favorites. I print them all and have used several. I just used #18 which turned out fabulous! That would be my favorite right now because of how my layout looks.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:48 PM
- Erica Marshall said...
My favorite is 2 page sketch #3 I love the possibility of all those circles!
- January 1, 2012 at 5:51 PM
- Kristy Mutchler said...
I LOVE your sketches; they have really opened up a new world for me in terms of scrapbooking, especially because I SO need a plan. My favorite is Two Page Sketch #17. I turned the start into a pumpkin and it looks beautiful! Thanks for the constant inspiration.
- January 1, 2012 at 5:52 PM

Happy Birthday! Looking forward to another year. My favorite are the two page sketches...favorite right now is #23.

Happy Birthday Sketch Support!
I have completed so many layouts this last year using the sketches and it is hard to pick just one favorite. One of my favorites is two page sketch #14. I love that there is room for so many pics on the page.
- January 1, 2012 at 6:15 PM
The one page sketch # 7. I made 2 of these layouts for a grandmother for Christmas. Each layout featured a precious grandson (she only has 2). The 2 x 2 photos allowed me to put some cute closeups of their facs onto the layout. The layouts were then framed and wrapped for Christmas.
- January 1, 2012 at 6:20 PM
- Cindy said...
My favorite is one of the first ones I did and fell in love with the sketches, two page layouts and handstitching. It is Sketch number 3-with all those wonderful circles giving so much movement to the layout. Thaks for this site and all the wondeful sketches!
- January 1, 2012 at 6:31 PM
- CAstangs said...
Well, I couldn't pick just one favorite sketch - I had to pick two! I love 2-page sketch #18 and 2 page sketch #4 - both are awesome and I love the use of 4x6 photos in it.
And thanks for the chance to win!
- January 1, 2012 at 6:35 PM
- photochic said...
I love doing cards, so card sketch #8 is my favorite. Any of the one pagers are my favorite too!!
- January 1, 2012 at 6:51 PM

I really like two page sketch 15 but I may say I enjoy all of the sketches. I always love seeing how the sketches are interpreted and added to. Thanks for the inspiration!

- January 1, 2012 at 8:25 PM
My favorite? It's usually the last one I used...for today, that's two-page sketch #12, which I just used today in my Hawaii album.

It's hard to choose but I love 2 page sketch #17. Thank you for all the great ideas and inspiration.

- wteagon said...
It's hard to pick a favorite... I love the two page sketch #22. I love every opportunity to do some hand stitching. As for cards, I love to use sketchs #8 and #12 over and over for all occasions. In fact, I love all the card sketches. My husband works on the road and these sketches are a great guide to send him cards and messages while he's gone. Thanks for sharing your designs and creativity!!
- January 1, 2012 at 9:38 PM
- MaryAnn N. said...
Love your sketches. I have used # 9 and # 12 the most so I'll make them my favourite. It is a hard choice as so many of them are so flexible for my photos. I use 4 x6 photos for most layouts and adjust the sketch accordingly.
- January 1, 2012 at 9:39 PM
- Cindy said...
My favorite one is whatever one I happen to randomly pull out and start using!! Seriously - I couldn't pick a favorite.
- January 1, 2012 at 9:50 PM
- Chanel's Owner said...
I love ALL your scrapbook sketches! But if I had to narrow it down it's two-page Sketch #12. I look forward to seeing what you are going to come up with for 2012!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:00 PM

Two page Sketch #23 is my favorite! I do like many of others.... Happy Birthday!

I love two page #5. There's room for so many photos of all different sizes, which really keeps it interesting. Thanks for such a wonderful resource!!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:23 PM
- KarlaW said...
So hard to chose one favorite....so I ended up picking three. My favorites are #1, #6 and #9 of the two page layouts. Of course I love many others as well. Happy Birthday!!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:35 PM
- SunnyNP said...
My absolute favorite of 2011 would have to be the 2 page Sketch #13. I love the flag banners and the layout examples were just beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win!

Who can choose a favorite? I loved them all, especially the two page layouts. Congratulations on a successful first year and wishing you the best in 2012.

I really loved the one-page Sketch # 16 and can't wait to create a Christmas layout with it!
- January 1, 2012 at 10:53 PM
- Ruth said...
happy birthday, I am loving it! My favourites (I couldnt get down to just one) are double page 15 and double page 22, both so versatile and simple, but look super duper awesome.
- January 2, 2012 at 12:34 AM
- Hanne said...
Happy birthday! I'm loving all your sketches, and most of all I love to see how to use the sketches for both one- and two-page layouts. When I shall pick out one favourite for the last year it must be one-page #3. This I have used for a two-paged LO, and I just loved it.
- January 2, 2012 at 1:32 AM

I love the Two Page Sketch #18. I love the flow of it and how many photos you got into it! Thanks for all you do. Love, love your sketches!

Happy Birthday Sketch Support, you've done a great job Allison and DT and family!! I was soooo excited when you started this a year ago and love it even more a year later.
It would be to hard to pick a favorite, so many wonderful ideas to pick from. The last couple weeks though have totally made me happy though. I would pick the add-on weeks as my favorite to see though.
Thank you for all you do to inspire us and encourage and share with us. You are what makes this blog AWESOME!! Looking forward to another year of following your journey!!
- January 2, 2012 at 4:57 AM
Happy Anniversary!! Thanks, so very much, for all you do to share your sketches and inspiration to us. I am not the "creative type" but LOVE scrapbooking. So, I rely heavily upon sketches. How can I pick a favorite? I truly love them all. If I had to pick one, though very very hard, it would be the 2-page sketch #15.
Thanks again for sharing with us!!

- January 2, 2012 at 11:45 AM
- Linda said...
This was a hard decision but I am going with #12. I typically use 4x6 photos and this one worked very well.
I love your website. Usually the first thing I do every morning is to look at the website.
- January 2, 2012 at 1:33 PM
- Amanda said...
Well, if you force me to pick just 1, I'd say I like Two Page sketch #12. I can fit tons and tons of pictures and still have room for embellishments. I love all of your sketches and use them on every layout!
Thanks for a wonderful year! :)
- January 2, 2012 at 8:32 PM
Congratulations on your 1st year anniversary Allison! This is truly my favorite web site ever. My vote for most favorite layout would be 2-page sketch #17. It was used for the sketch challenge at the Branson crop and not only is it incredibly versatile but was inspirational enough for me to win that challenge using it! So it's a true winner!
Congratulations to the new members on the design team, I'm looking forward to your creativity this coming year!

I've loved them all, but if I had to pick just one, it was the two page layout from September. I loved how you could fit so many pictures and not look crowded. I look forward to all the wonderful new sketches and examples in 2012.
- January 3, 2012 at 10:09 AM

I like 2page layouts with lots of pictures, so I've choosen nr 20 as my favorite! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
- January 3, 2012 at 1:39 PM
- Lynne said...
I love your sketches - all of them! But I have used #18 a few times because of the different sizes photos and the great embellishment possibilities!
- January 3, 2012 at 2:23 PM
I like the last sketch #16!

I love two page sketch #10. I have looked at all the versions of it over and over and over! It is so versatile and I LOVE that! So glad you started this blog! Not a day goes by that I don't look at it at least once! :)

How to choose just one???? Think it would have to be number 12 if I really had to choose just one.
- January 4, 2012 at 1:04 PM
- Deb said...
My favorite was two-page sketch #19. I made the sweetest page of my kids and my dad on his tractor! It was a great way to use lots of photos in one sketch!
- January 4, 2012 at 1:04 PM
- Kristy said...
Another vote for 2 pager #12! I love it!!!!
- January 4, 2012 at 1:12 PM
- Brenwyn said...
It is a tough choice but I think it would be 2 page #23. Lots of photos, great layout without looking cluttered. Fabulous!
- January 4, 2012 at 1:12 PM
- Stacy said...
Happy Birthday and thank you for all these wonderful sketches. I love 2 page layouts so I would have to say #7 is one of my favorites.

It's not fair to have to pick just one! I'd go w/the 2page #18, if I were forced! But I love the sketches...I've planned out entire albums using just the sketches, and it makes it so much easier, and so much more enjoyable when I don't have to create "from scratch" for every set of pictures. Yet I have the freedom to make the page my own & use the sketch as a 'jumping off' point. And I can use the same sketch multiple times w/o it ever looking the same!

Pick one sketch? Just one?? :-)
One of my favorites is the two-page sketch #19. I like the focal 5x7 picture, the 4x4 pic grid and the chance to use a large die-cut.
But I love/print/save in a notebook all your sketches!!
- January 4, 2012 at 1:21 PM
The two page #19 is my favorite! I take TONS of sports pictures and can never decide which 3 or 4 to use .... so with this layout I can use a lot more pictures. I also like the fact that the focus is on the pictures and not on the paper and/or embleshments.

I like #3, because the sketch itself reminds me of bubbles :-) I LOVE
scrapbooking using your sketches; it has really helped me find a style that works well for me. My layouts look so much better than when I try to make them up on my own!

my favorite sketch is 2 pager #10
it came out the week after I took my niece and nephew to see how maple sugar is made and one of the samples used leaves instead of stars. (But 2 pager #15 is the one I've used the most)
- January 4, 2012 at 3:32 PM
I simply love your sketches. It would be too difficult to choose a single page, but I tend to like the one pagers, as they suit my style better. Have just spied your new one pager #16 and I am in love!! What a fab design to capture Christmas 2011.
- January 4, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Love them all, but I will choose #12 as a favorite:) It has lots of options...as do most of your sketches!
Keep it up!
- January 4, 2012 at 4:12 PM

Custom installers
May 7th, 2012
A little info for those with a website/project that needs their own default server settings.
Solution 1, create a config.ini which you package with AdiIRC.exe in your own installer.
Solution 2, contact me and I can provide you with the nullsoft installer script I use for my own installer. (I will put it online soon)
Solution 3, I have a system in place for creating custom installers which then gets updated whenever I make a new release, you can contact me to hear more about that.
Also note that if users have admin rights to the AdiIRC folder (windows xp, running AdiIRC.exe from a folder they own etc) the config.ini will be read from the same directory, if they don't have access, config.ini will be read from %LOCALAPPDATA%AdiIRC so an installer should put the config file both places.

Designing and creating unique websites is a key part of Think Orchard's work and for them, if you're a business working in Wales, .cymru and .wales are the appropriate domains for your business.
As a creative agency, ensuring that their online presence reflects their services is key and a big part of that is demonstrating that they're working in Wales and in Welsh.
"The domains are important to the business. They show that the business works through the medium of Welsh and we're happy to shout that from the rooftops!" says Head of Design and Digital at Think Orchard, Andrew Minton.
They're experts at creating new websites for their clients and according to them, setting up a .cymru or .wales domain is just as easy as setting up a .com address.
"Our online presence if very important, it's where we show our products to everyone and it's important that we can show those products in Welsh and English and that we can work with companies in either language or both if needed."

What's happening with webOS?
Is webOS still being made into an open source OS? That was the last I heard.

HP still haven't totally, completely and utterly excluded future webOS devices with the HP Logo.
Also, a number of small projects are trying to bring devices with some variant of webOS to market... WE WILL WIN

WebOS was open sourced, and anything useful will be absorbed by Android and iOS, leaving the remainder of WebOS' carcass to slowly rot away.

The singleton pattern is one of the best-known patterns in software engineering. Essentially, a singleton is a class which only allows a single instance of itself to be created, and usually gives simple access to that instance. Most commonly, singletons don't allow any parameters to be specified when creating the instance – as otherwise, the second request for an instance but with a different parameter could be problematic! (If the same instance should be accessed for all requests with the same parameter, the factory pattern is more appropriate.) This article deals only with the situation where no parameters are required. Typically a requirement of singletons is that they are created lazily – i.e. that the instance isn't created until it is first needed.
There are various ways of implementing the singleton pattern in C#. I shall present them here in reverse order of elegance, starting with the most commonly seen, which is not thread-safe, and working up to an entirely lazily-loaded, thread-safe, simple and highly performant version.
All these implementations share four common characteristics, however:
- A single constructor, which is private and parameterless. This prevents other classes from instantiating it (which would be a violation of the pattern). Note that it also prevents subclassing – if a singleton can be subclassed once, it can be subclassed twice, and if each of those subclasses can create an instance, the pattern is violated. The factory pattern can be used if you need a single instance of a base type, but the exact type isn't known until runtime.
- A static variable which holds a reference to the single created instance, if any.
- A public static means of getting the reference to the single created instance, creating one if necessary.
Let's start with a quick example of a singleton class.
namespace betechnical { public class Singleton { /// /// Private constructor to protect the instance of class ///
private Singleton(){ } private static Singleton _instance; private static readonly object Sync=new object(); public static Singleton Instance() { //Check if instance is null then only enter to the block if (_instance == null) { //Check if another thread is alreayd accessing lock (Sync) { //Check if instance is already created by previous thread if (_instance == null) { _instance = new Singleton(); } } } return _instance; } } }

The golf community and, in fact the entire sporting world, said goodbye last week to one of its true legends — Latrobe, Pennsylvania's Arnold Palmer.
Having met Mr. Palmer on a handful of occasions, playing Latrobe Country Club or traveling to watch him in tournaments, he was always sure to make me feel like I was the most important person wherever we were.
He was truly a legend of the game and of life, always wearing a huge smile to greet you and a firm handshake. Coming from a hometown slightly smaller than Latrobe in western Pennsylvania, I would marvel at just how lucky I was to be in his presence every time we met.
But Palmer behaved that way with just about...

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Attorneys have filed papers in the lawsuit by the family of Ereck Plancher against the University of Central Florida.
Plancher, a UCF football player, collapsed and died during conditioning drills in 2008.
The Plancher family sued the UCF Athletics Association and was awarded $10 million in a trial.
Previously, the Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that the UCF Athletics Association is subject to sovereign immunity, which limits damages to state agencies to $200,000.
Attorneys are asking the Florida Supreme Court to deny the Plancher family's request to review that decision.
(An earlier version of this story said the Supreme Court had ruled in this case, that was incorrect)

Digger's World
Swimming, Romans, Wombles
For "legal" reasons I am unable to show you a photo of this Club 15-74 Holiday
Oh go on then "sue me" Mrs Brown (to right of photo)
As ever the scenery is fantastic (view from Stac Pollaidh to a tempting looking loch!)
Walking in Scotland is a pleasure, but slightly challenging if you are scared of heights/exposure (shortly after this photo was taken Digger ran down the hill to the safety of the Loch)
Of course, Digger only pretends to be scared and is actually an accomplished rock climber (as Ben captures on this photo)
Walking in Scotland is always a pleasant experience (just see the smiles on our faces)
There are even more smiles on the "top" (ed. erh where? looks awful!)
Scotland also has fantastic archaeology. Just look at the view this resident of an Iron Age roundhouse gets!
Before the Iron Age was the stone age and some geologists (well Ruth) think this was very old
This is a geological disconformity. But in the background is the sea!
The sea contains seal (they are hard to see unless you have a WWFC scarf and hat)
But Scotland is best know (in some circles) for its wild swimming opportunities!
Durdle Door is a natural sea arch in Dorset. Every year a party of like-minded individual get together for the weekend to swim through this impressive place. This year's dates are likely to be 8th - 10th June 2018.

Picking out Rapid Methods In 5linx
Although they've only been in business for half ten years, 5LINX has been causing much excitement in the realm of Network Marketing and telecommunications. Now, whilst the heading states, I don't work with 5LINXs. However, I have written this information to enable you to make an educated decision about whether to keep with 5LINX.
5LINX appeared on the Network Marketing scene approximately years and counting and started more or less immediately causing waves. Some MLM companies manufacture tablets, lotions, and potions 5LINX has went an alternative way. They hopped feet first into the tele-communications industry and give their clients with VoIP, wireless, Internet, satellite and home security service.
You be described as a IMR (Independent Marketing Representative) in 5LINX for $499. 5LINX comp plan could be a bit mystifying whenever you initially view it but merely put money from 5LINX is manufactured through sales produced by you and the associates you recruit into 5LINX.
There's a lot of upside contained in the 5LINX comp plan...especially for the IMR's who reach the larger leadership levels like Senior Vice President.
Similar to many other MLM companies available, 5LINX prompts their IMR's to advertise their 5LINX opportunity through chasing and badgering friends, family, and co-workers to enroll into their venture. They promote cold-calling and giving home parties (whether it's your place or somebody else's).
That is very abrasive and ineffectual as it pertains to marketing your 5LINX business or some other M.L.M venture.
To genuinely achieve the nice life and wealth that 5LINX and other M.L.M. companies provide you with have GOT to internalize and apply the techniques of ATTRACTION MARKETING.
Once you apply Attraction Marketing to your 5LINX business you'll start to generate a consistent flow of FREE leads. Pre-qualified. Each and each day!
You will not have to check out any people down to listen to about and join your opportunity or utilize your services because they're likely to be COMING TO YOU!
You will BRAND YOURSELF as a LEADER and an EXPERT and your leads will respect you and stay with you because of it!
This results in you having the ability to go out and, from scratch, develop a huge, driven, and profitable team and the folks in your company will undoubtedly be extremely loyal to you.

Ferrari P
The Ferrari P series were prototype sports cars in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Although Enzo Ferrari resisted the move even with Cooper dominating F1, Ferrari began producing mid-engined racing cars in 1960 with the Ferrari Dino-V6-engine Formula 2 156, which would be turned into the Formula 1-winner of 1961.
Sports car racers followed in 1963. Although these cars shared their names (based on engine displacement) with road models, they were almost entirely dissimilar. The first Ferrari mid-engine in a road car did not arrive until the 1967 Dino, and it was 1971 before a Ferrari 12-cylinder engine was placed behind a road-going driver in the 365 GT4 BB.
The 250 P was a Prototype racer produced in 1963, winning the 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the manufacturers' championship. It was a mid-engined sports car racer with a single-cam 3.0 L 250 Testa Rossa V12 engine and almost entirely unrelated to the other 250 cars.
The 275 P and 330 P were evolutions of the 250 P with 3.3 L and 4.0 L engines, respectively. These raced during 1963 and 1964.
The 250 P evolved into a saleable mid-engined racer for the public, the 250 Le Mans. Introduced at Paris in November, 1963, the LM was successful for privately-entered racers around the world. Notably, a 250 LM entered by the North American Racing Team achieved an outright victory in the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans driven by Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory. About 32 models were built in 1964 and 1965, with all but the first few powered by 3.3 L 320 hp (238 kW) engines, though the name did not change with the increase in displacement. A fully-independent double wishbone suspension was specified with rack and pinion steering and four wheel disc brakes. Ferrari had intended that the 250 LM be homologated for racing as a Group 3 Grand Touring Car, however in April 1964 the FIA refused to do so as Ferrari had built considerably fewer than the required 100 units. The 250 LM thus had to run as a Prototype until it was homologated as a Group 4 Sports Car for the 1966 season. [1]
An entirely new car, the 330 P2, followed in 1965. It featured a lower and lighter chassis and more aerodynamic body, paired with a 410 hp (305 kW) version of the 330 V12. It was first used by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) in the Daytona race that year. Some of NART's P2 cars also used the 4.4 L engine and thus were named 365 P2. The P2 was not a great success for Ferrari, however, so it was replaced by the P3 for 1966.
The 1966 330 P3 introduced fuel injection to the Ferrari stable. It also used an P3 (Type 593) transmission that was prone to failure and was replaced by a ZF transmission when P3 0844 and 0848 were converted to 412P's, another Ferrari first that would only last one season when the ZF's were replaced by 603R P4 transmissions in all the 412P's.
The Ferrari 412P was a "consumer version" of the famous 330 P3 race car, built for independent teams like NART (0844), Scuderia Filipinetti (0848), Francorchamps (0850), and Maranello Concessionaires (0854). These cars had carburetor engines instead of the factory Lucas fuel injection. Surviving 412P cars are worth approximately 6 million nowadays.
There are only 2 cars that were originally built as 412P's: 0850 and 0854. P3 chassis. P3 Typo Motors except for Carburetors in place of FI. P4 Suspension but P3 wheelbase 2412mm vs. 2400mm (P4 and P 3/4 0846) 0844 and 0848 were originally P3 Factory Racecars but when Ferrari sold them to customers they removed the Lucas Mechanical Fuel Injection and replaced it with Weber carburetors which reduced their output, something Ferrari wanted to do so that they would win points but not beat the factory cars which were then P 3/4 0846 (See Above), P4 0856, P4 0858, and P4 0860.
The P3's and 412P had the same 4 liter block which is different from the P4 4 liter block and all had P3 not P4 chassis. P 3/4 0846 is unique having, after modification by Ferrari for the 1967 race season, a P3 chassis with a P4 engine.
The 412Ps, the 330 P 3/4, and the 330 P4's, all had 4 liter engines that weren't eligible for the biggest races (such as Le Mans) after 1967; not enough 412P's, 330 P 3/4, or P4's were built to be allowed under 5000cc sport cars class (which required 25 identical cars to have been built). The smaller number of 412Ps, 330 P 3/4, and P4's meant that they were still classed as "Prototypes". Engine size in that class was limited to 3 liters after 1967, the fastest Ferraris were no longer eligible and Enzo left sports car racing for a while in protest.
Four 412 Ps were built:
- 0844 was a converted P3 and is currently in the UK
- 0848 was a converted P3 and is currently in Switzerland
- 0850 is currently owned by an American
- 0854 is currently owned by James Glickenhaus, who also commissioned and owns the Ferrari P4/5
330 P 3/4 and P4
1967 was a banner year for the Enzo Ferrari motor company, as it saw the production the mid-engined 330 P,[2] a renowned V12 endurance car meant to replace the previous year's P3.
Only four Ferrari P's were ever made: one P 3/4 and three 330 P4's. Their 3-valve cylinder head was modeled after those of Italian Grand Prix-winning Formula 1 cars. To this was added the same fuel injection system from the P3 for an output of up to 450 hp (335 kW). In comparison with its rivals, the 330 P4 had poor aerodynamics, but its sexy looks continue to grab attention.
The P 3/4, one of the P4's, and one 412P electrified the racing world when they crossed the finish line together (in first, second, and third place) in the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, thus becoming a symbol of victory over arch-enemy Ford GT40.
Since then, the fate of the these four nearly legendary cars has been the subject of much attention. All of the P4's built are accounted for, although P 3/4 0846 is surrounded in controversy. By chassis number:
- 0856 remains in its original state and is owned by Canadian Lawrence Stroll[3]
- 0858 was converted into a 350 Can-Am and is owned by American Walter Medlin
- 0860 was also converted to a 350 Can-Am but is presently wearing a P4 Spyder body and is in a French automobile museum
- 0846, known as the P 3/4 because though it was originally built as a P3 by Ferrari, it was modified in December 1966 to accept a P4 engine while retaining its P3 nose and chassis. This vehicle was badly damaged in an accident at Le Mans and was discarded by Ferrari.[4] Recently, many components of the original P 3/4 0846 appear to have resurfaced in the possession of exotic car collector and enthusiast James Glickenhaus, a former movie director and stock exchange magnate. Although both he and David Piper (from whom he acquired the car) thought it one of four replica chassis constructed with the blessing of Enzo Ferrari in the late 1960s, it appears that nearly all of the tube frame chassis and some other components from the wrecked P3/4 were used in this car.[5] This seeming discovery has stirred much controversy,[6] but the Ferrari company is unable or unwilling to officially identify the car except to note that their records hold that it was "scrapped" "written off". This tube frame appears to be a P3 modified to hold a P4 engine, as was the case with 0846 exclusively, and the damage from two contemporary racing accidents appears in the frame as well. The car's transmission, engine heads, and steering rack also include the correct Le Mans scrutineering marks, linking them to P3 0846 and P 3/4 0846 of 1966 and 1967. P 3/4 0846 was road tested by Car and Driver magazine.[7]
There have also been replica chassis built:
- 0900 was a continuation commissioned and currently owned by David Piper
- 0900a is another currently unfinished continuation also owned by Piper
- 0900b is a fourth continuation, but is still under construction. Its frame was made in the 2000s by Piper for an American customer.
- "0003" was claimed to be a third continuation by Piper but has been determined by owner James Glickenhaus to be 0846
Due to the great fame and sleek appearance of the original design, more than a hundred P4 replicas of various design have been built. A high-quality P4 replica built with genuine Ferrari engine (e.g., a 400i V12) may command as much as $200,000, but simpler ones (often with Rover engines and Renault drive-trains) fetch around $50,000. The four original P4 cars are estimated to be worth about US$10 million each.
The Ferrari 330P made a notable appearance in the video game Forza Motorsport 2. The vehicle received a rarity rating of 10.0-signifying it's uniqueness and [8]
After boycotting sports cars racing in 1968 to protest the rule change, Ferrari built another 3000cc prototype in 1969, named the 312 P.
The 3.0 Ferrari 312P Barchetta and 3.0 Ferrari 312P Berlinetta were hardly more than a 3-litre F1 Ferrari 312 with a prototype body. At the 12 Hours of Sebring the spyder finished 2nd to a JWA Gulf Ford GT40. At the BOAC 500 in Brands Hatch the same spyder was 4th behind three Porsche 908-01. At 1000km Monza, Chris Amon took the pole with the 312P spyder, ahead of Jo Siffert's 908-01, but had to retire. At the 1000km Spa, a 312P was second behind the Siffert-Redman 908-01LH. At Le Mans two 312P Berlinettas were entered. They were 5 and 6 on the grid, but didn't finish. At the end of the season the 312Ps were sold to N.A.R.T., the American Ferrari importer of Luigi Chinetti.
512 S and 512 M
These were not designated with P as they were not built for the 3000cc Prototype category, but with S as 5000cc Sports cars, of which at least 25 had to be built. Porsche had made that investment in early 1969 with the new Porsche 917. Ferrari answered with the Ferrari 512 which was introduced for 1970, and later modified as 512 M.
In 1971, another rule change was announced for 1972, and Ferrari abandoned further development of the 512 in order to focus on a new 3L prototype based on the F1 car.
In 1972, this Ferrari 312PB with the flat boxer engine was very successful and won all races of the World Sportscar Championship in which it raced. Ferrari didn't enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1972 though as the F1-based engine would not last for sure.
They had to enter in 1973, though, and finished second behind Matra, same as in the championship. At the end of the 1973 season, Ferrari abandoned sports car racing to focus on F1.
In the 1990s, the Ferrari 333 SP was built, but not raced by the factory itself.
In 2005, James Glickenhaus commissioned Pininfarina to rebody an Enzo as a special one-off custom car.[9] It is inspired by the early P racers, and especially Glickenhaus' own reconstructed P3/4.[10][11]

With help from NASA, four student-built CubeSat research satellites will launch into space Friday from the California coast as part of the agency's CubeSat Launch Initiative.
The CubeSats will be included as auxiliary payloads aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket scheduled to lift off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 2:13 a.m. EST carrying the National Reconnaissance Office's NROL-39 satellite. The CubeSats are a part of the Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) II mission, NASA's fifth ELaNa mission to launch into space. The miniature satellites will deploy from their protective cases into Earth orbit about three hours after liftoff.
"This was another great moment for the ELaNa mission and the CubeSat community," said Jason Crusan, director of NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems Division, which oversees the CubeSat Launch Initiative. "With each successful mission, we are demonstrating that frequent access to space provides a great opportunity for NASA to gain engineering results at a low cost while affording students real-world exposure to spaceflight."
The CubeSats were prepared by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and students at Medgar Evers College at the City University of New York; Montana State University in Bozeman; and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The cube-shaped satellites measure about 4 inches on each side, have a volume of about 1 quart and weigh less than 3 pounds. CubeSat research addresses science, exploration, technology development, education or space missions. Over the next few months, the ELaNa II CubeSat teams will receive data from their satellites in space. As part of their agreement with NASA, they will provide the agency a report on their outcomes and scientific findings.
ELaNa missions, conducted under NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative, give students, teachers and faculty hands-on experience developing flight hardware by providing access to a low-cost avenue for research. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to do something like this while in college," said CUNYSAT-1 System Engineer Ernst Etienne. "This has been a great experience for me since I've been able to learn so much about system engineering in general and applying that to work on the CubeSat."
Since its inception in 2010, the CubeSat Launch Initiative has selected more than 90 CubeSats from primarily educational and government institutions around the United States. NASA chose these miniature satellites from respondents to public announcements for the agency's CubeSat Launch Initiative. NASA will announce another call for proposals in August 2014.
ELaNa II CubSats
ELaNA FACT SHEET
NASA will launch four small research satellites, or CubeSats, for three universities and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., as part of the fifth installment of the Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) mission. Over 100 students have been involved in building the CubeSats that will be flown as auxiliary payloads on the National Reconnaissance Office's launch of its NROL-39 mission planned for December 2013.
The ELaNa CubeSat Launch Initiative enables students, teachers and faculty to obtain hands-on flight hardware development experience and gives them access to a low-cost vehicle to conduct research in the areas of science, exploration, technology development, education or space missions. Since its inception in 2010, the initiative has selected more than 90 CubeSats from primarily educational and government institutions around the U.S. These miniature satellites resulted in a prioritized queue established through a shortlisting process from proposers that responded to public announcements on NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative. NASA will announce another call for proposals in mid-August 2014.
Four CubeSat projects were selected for the ELaNa II mission. There will be two Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployers (P-PODs) aboard the Atlas V rocket that will ferry them to space. The P-POD was designed and manufactured by the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) of San Luis Obispo, Calif., to integrate CubeSats onto launch vehicles. After the main payload deploys, the CubeSats will separate from their P-PODs. After 45 minutes in orbit, the CubeSat transmitters will turn on and university ground stations will listen for their beacons, determine their small satellites' functionality and announce operational status. CubeSat mission durations and orbital life vary, but are anticipated to last at least 180 days. Upon mission completion, the CubeSats fall to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere.
Each CubeSat developer verified that its satellite complied with the P-POD requirements. NASA jointly conducted a mission readiness review with each CubeSat developer.
- Built to standard dimensions of 1 unit (1U) which is equal to 10x10x10 cm
- Can be 1U, 2U, 3U or 6U in size
- Weigh less than 11/3 kg (3 lbs) per U – 6U may be up to 12-14 kg
- Deployed from standard Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD)

Cyclone Winston, the most powerful storm to make landfall in the southern hemisphere, killed more than 40 people when it ravaged the Pacific nation. The Uto Ni Yalo Trust, which owns the traditional canoe, sailed into Levuka where houses, schools and roads were destroyed. "Levuka was one of the worst-hit maritime communities in the Fiji group post Cyclone Winston," Uto Ni Yalo Trust secretary Dwaii Qalovaki said."Our task was to carry two tonnes of relief supplies to the community of Baba." The Uto Ni Yalo, which uses large sails to navigate the seas, was part of a fleet of traditional canoes that embarked on a voyage from Cook Islands to Sydney to highlight the threat of climate change in 2014. Much like that epic voyage, the Uto Ni Yalo encountered difficulties with low wind conditions while sailing towards Levuka. But the sailors were prepared for such contingencies. "The Uto Ni Yalo is powered by nature, therefore we're a wind sail vessel," Mr Qalovaki said. "We had optimal sailing conditions right through until Friday morning, when we hit a bit of a dull spot out at sea, so we dropped our solar-powered propellers and motored into Levuka."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Santa Barbara has a new singing sensation. Jackson Cocciolone was crowned 2016 Teen Star Champion on Saturday night at the Arlington Theatre.
The San Marcos High School student had to overcome big obstacles long before he hit the stage."That's what the blues are all about. Singing through the pain," Cocciolone said. The 16-year-old was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 3.
Cocciolone is on an insulin pump that he must take with him everywhere."Later on, I was diagnosed with my other disease Hidradenitis suppurativa," Cocciolone said.
The incurable skin condition causes painful lumps all over his body.
Cocciolone said 12 million people suffer from the disease."I had seven or eight on each leg before I knew the diagnosis. I didn't walk for about six or seven weeks. I sat in the chair. I sat in the bed. That was crazy. One of the craziest points in my life," Cocciolone said.

Really great location (you can walk to Stanley Park). The staff was fantastic! They remembered our names (a quality hard to find at larger hotels) and offered great recommendations on what to do around town. We had a wonderful time!
My wife Donna and I spent a week at the Loden Hotel, in Vancouver, while on vacation. Both of us thought that the Loden was perfect for anyone staying in downtown Vancouver. The staff were friendly, courteous and accommodating. The facility itself is first class and the restaurant is a great little french bistro.
