Well, well, well. It looks as if former FBI director Robert Mueller, who is now special counsel in charge of the Justice Department's Russia investigation, allegedly hid evidence that was collected as early as 2009 which shows Russian officials were involved in a bribery scheme with Hillary Clinton's charity in order to expand their atomic energy business within the U.S
According to The Hill:
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
Rather than bring immediate charges for the scheme though, the FBI and Justice Department decided to continue "investigating" the issue for four more years – leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting Putin's commercial nuclear ambitions.
The details were revealed in a report earlier this week. Apparently, the evidence was withheld from lawmakers while they were questioning the Obama administration's approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russia's nuclear giant Rosatom in 2010, which ultimately led to Russian control of 20% of U.S. uranium supply.
Then, in 2011, the administration approved Tenex, a subsidiary of Rosatom, in partnership with the United States Enrichment Corp., to sell commercial uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants. Prior to that, Tenex was only allowed to sell reprocessed uranium recovered from dismantled Soviet nuclear weapons under the 1990s "Megatons to Megawatts" peace program U.S. nuclear power plants.
An anonymous person who worked on the case informed The Hill, "The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns. And none of that evidence got aired before the Obama administration made those decisions."
"Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee during the time the FBI probe was being conducted, told The Hill that he was never told of anything regarding "Russian nuclear corruption," though many of his fellow lawmakers were concerned about the deal, which was also approved by Hillary Clinton's State Department.
"Not providing information on a corruption scheme before the Russian uranium deal was approved by U.S. regulators and engage appropriate congressional committees has served to undermine U.S. national security interests by the very people charged with protecting them," Rogers said. "The Russian efforts to manipulate our American political enterprise is breathtaking.""

The state of Colorado has wasted some $128 million on a massive series of clerical errors in handing out unemployment benefits. People were overpaid or got checks when they weren't eligible for them. About four percent of those problematic unemployment checks went to fraudsters.
Now Colorado wants the money back.
Only the money's gone. "I absolutely cannot pay it back," said one unemployment benefits recipient, Lyn McLaughlin. "All for money that was mine, it wasn't a mistake." The state is threatening McLaughlin with charging 18% interest or prosecuting her. "There are times when a claimant isn't eligible and whether they knew it or didn't know it, that money belongs to the state," says Cher Haavind of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. "We understand hardship but we need to return that money to the state."
So now honest people who receive government checks, then use them, are held responsible for the government's mistakes. That'll teach them to take governmental promises seriously.

Man charged in undercover operation
The Hagerstown Police Department charged a man with several drug charges Thursday night after allegedly selling an undercover officer fake drugs, according to a department press release.
Samuel Lavonce Powe III, 28, of no fixed address, was charged with distributing a noncontrolled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute a noncontrolled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the release.
Police were conducting an undercover operation to target street-level drug dealing Thursday about 8 p.m. An undercover police officer contacted a man standing in the unit block of East Franklin Street, according to the release.
The man agreed to sell the officer crack cocaine, and the pair walked to the unit block of North Potomac Street, where the man sold the officer a substance that looked like crack cocaine, according to the release.

With our second camp in the book and some time to reflect on how I think the rest of the camps moving forward will go I wanted to take a second to write down some things that have surprised me about both camps now. With 2 camps in the books some of these things are likely to become trends. That means the next camps moving forward are sure to be quite different from last year's "Doomsday" tour.
Surprise Observations from the camps:n
- n
- More of the attendees are acquainted with the clean than they are the deadlift. Due to the extreme amount of exposure the Olympic lifts have gotten over the past 6 months and how terribly the deadlift is taught in CF gyms, many of the folks who are attending these camps know more about the clean than the deadlift. That does not necessarily mean they are able to perform what they know well but watching folks set up for the deadlift was eye-opening as compared to their setup and knowledge of the clean.
- The attendees are most interested in the programming and athlete management lectures as well as the outlier tricks each of the staff has for helping clients than they are in working out. Last year's camps were full of people who couldn't wait to line up and go head to head with everyone else in the camp. This year, they could care less. They want to soak up as much knowledge as they can so they can take it back with them to their gyms and clients.
- Having the five of the coaches at each camp, every time creates a consistency that was lacked last year. Not that the coaching wasn't good last year but this year having the five of us work together each time and then review how the camp goes each week creates a much more consistently excellent camp experience. These camp are only going to get better as we tweak little things and perform them together more often.
- Lastly, the questions these attendees are asking are much different from the questions being asked last tour. Last tour, our Games athletes were asked things like, "what did you eat before your worked out?" and "what is your recovery at the Games like?" This go around EA is getting asked questions like, "If you could go back 5 years and tell yourself something what would it be?" and "What are your plans to address your weaknesses for next season?"
nOverall these camps feel much more like a second tier type camp where knowledge is more the desired takeaway rather than experience. I love where this tour is headed.

Great article. It has amazing tips for handling objections in a sales process.Reply
I see this is an older post, but the beauty is, it has maintained relevance. An important point here, we need to be cognizant of our demeanor and how we will be perceived by our customers. If we offend them, disrespect them, belittle them, we have no business asking for their business.Reply

Diary 16/ 27-years-old / New York City
I learn about Giovanni's ongoing affair by breaking into his email. There's not really a good-person vs bad-person element… breaking into his email was pretty awful of me; but this definitely set off a whole chain of events that would stay with us for years. And come back hard in 2010 with the cervical pre-cancer. It was also an event that made me realize we're not predisposed to certain reactions. I kept waiting for the urge to throw his clothes out of the apartment (TV makes it seem fun), but my real experience was one I never could have guessed at. If ever there's been a time to say "There's More to the Story…"

One of the best ways to improve your appearance is to have great-looking hair. Your hair is one of the very first things others notice about you, and beautiful hair can distract people from other flaws. But how do you the kind of hair people can't help but compliment? Keep reading to find out.
For a quick and easy on the go hair tamer, try a dab of your favorite hand lotion. Simply rub a small amount into the palm of your hand and stroke your hair in a downward direction. This will tame frizz instantly and even offer the benefit of conditioning your hair, as well.
A great hair care tip is to try out different dandruff shampoos, if you do, indeed, have dandruff. A lot of the time people with dandruff will say they aren't noticing results with their dandruff shampoo. This is because different dandruff shampoos all have different ingredients in them, so using a variety will cover all the bases.
When you are using a hair dryer to dry your hair you should not keep it in one place on your hair for any amount of time. The focused heat on that part of the hair can cause damage and dry your hair out unnecessarily. Keep it moving!
Begin by combing out any tangles with a wide tooth comb starting at the ends before you use a brush on it. This will minimize any damage you do to your hair by brushing the tangles out instead of combing them. Remember to start at the ends and work your way up.
Do you like what the ocean does to your hair? Look for sprays that are labeled as "salt spray". If you desire to create your own concoction, you can mix a teaspoon of salt and 8 ounces of water. Then, add about 10 lavender oil drops and you now have the mix that you need.
If you have dry hair, or just don't want to have dry hair in the future, then you want to avoid using any hair care products that contain alcohol. This is because the alcohol can make your hair even more dry. This can make your hair very brittle and easily breakable.
Don't use your bristle hairbrush on wet hair. Always use a comb or pick on your beautiful wet tresses. A hairbrush encourages breakage and split ends. Just lightly towel dry your hair and remove tangles by gently combing through your hair with a wide-toothed comb, or even your fingers. Allow to air dry whenever possible to minimize heat damage.
When you are drying your hair, refrain from staying in the same spot for a long period of time. This can essentially burn your hair and leave your strands very weak and fragile. Move your hair dryer back and forth and keep it away from your scalp to maintain hair health.
Sometimes, it is vital to use styling products to get the look that you want, but do not overuse gels or creams on your hair. Excessive use can strip your hair of its natural ingredients and cause build up which does not look attractive. Limit your use of products for optimal hair health.
Do not use any settings on your blow dryer that dry your hair with heat. Heat is very damaging to your hair, especially in an effort to dry your hair quickly. Use the cool setting, and dry your hair in a healthy manner. Doing this daily can make a big difference.
To keep your hair from drying out, don't forget about protecting it from the sun, just like you would with your skin. Just like skin, hair is susceptible to sun damage, so be sure and pick up a reliable product that will provide your hair with protection. In a pinch, use the sunscreen lotion you have for your skin, because it'll keep your hair safe, as well.
Avoid hot water when washing you hair. Lukewarm water is okay, and cold water is even better, if you can tolerate it. Hot water dries out the hair and can irritate the scalp. If you are used to a steaming hot shower, use a shower cap and wash your hair separately.
People that have fine, limp strands of hair can benefit from a number of specialized products on the market. This starts with the right shampoo. If you have limpness in your hair, apply a less-is-more philosophy, otherwise you will weigh down your hair even more. This means using a volumizing shampoo and a light-weight conditioner.
If your hair looks great, you'll look and feel amazing too. That's why it's so important to put real time and effort into your hair. Now that you've read these suggestions, you know what it takes to make your hair look beautiful. You just need to put the advice into practice.

Matthew Doman - Australian Petroleum Producers and Exporters Association
The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association says the Northern Territory is unlikely to see any significant investment in onshore gas projects next year following a decision by the independent inquiry into hydraulic fracturing to delay its final report by three months.
APPEA NT Director Matthew Doman spoke with Peter Butler and said the gas industry was surprised and disappointed by the announcement that the Pepper Inquiry's final report would not be completed until March.
"What was supposed to be a 12-month inquiry is now entering its second year," Mr Doman said.
"The final report was promised by the end of this year. We now won't see it until at least March next year. Even if the fracking moratorium is lifted after that, it is very hard to see any significant investment occurring in 2018.

Shire 'extremely vulnerable'
THE Fire Danger Period will begin at 1am on Friday, November 17 for Campaspe Shire Council.
CFA District 20 operations manager Peter Taylor said most forecasts indicated an above average fire season.
''Little to no rain across the district since August has dried out the grassland and particularly forest areas and made them extremely vulnerable to fire.
"Reducing fuel loads will ensure that if a fire does occur, it has less chance of taking hold or spreading.
"While CFA does all it can, we look to the community to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires."
Mr Taylor said there was still a small window of opportunity to clean up your property if you hadn't already done so.
"Out of control burn-offs and unregistered burn-offs are a major and avoidable headache for brigades," he said.
''All burn-offs should be registered with the VicFire Burn-off notification line on 1800 668 511,'' he said.
"Avoid burning off when high winds are forecast – not only on the day of your burn but for the days afterwards.
"For information about burn-off restrictions specific to your area consult the council."
CFA takes a zero-tolerance approach to any unauthorised fires or fires resulting from negligent behaviour subject to police investigation.
During the Fire Danger Period (FDP), fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a municipal fire prevention officer.
Victorians can find out "Can I or Can't I?" information at cfa.vic.gov.au/can or by calling the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.

Rockies 5, Nationals 1: Tyler Colvin homered twice off Stephen Strasburg to back a masterful pitching performance by Drew Pomeranz.
Colvin hit a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run drive in the fourth to become the first player to hit two home runs against Strasburg in the same game. Colvin also singled in the sixth off Strasburg and hit a fly ball to the warning track against Ryan Mattheus in the eighth.
Strasburg (9-4) allowed three runs, two earned, and eight hits in six innings. The All-Star struck out six and walked only one, but he lost a third straight start for the first time in his three-year career.
Braves 5, Phillies 0: Brian McCann hit a grand slam and Tim Hudson tossed four-hit ball over seven innings.
The struggling Phillies generated nothing on offense. The five-time defending NL East champions are a season-worst 11 games under .500.
Hudson (7-4) nearly went pitch-for-pitch with Kyle Kendrick, who also threw seven scoreless innings and allowed four hits.
Cubs 8, Mets 7: Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer and Cubs closer Carlos Marmol caught a line drive and started a game-ending double play that blunted the New York Mets' bid for another ninth-inning comeback.
Travis Wood won his fourth straight start while Mets ace Johan Santana lasted only 42⁄3 innings and was tagged for 13 hits, tying a career high.
A night after they got two runs with two outs in the ninth to beat Philadelphia closer Jonathan Papelbon, the Mets scored three times off a wild Marmol. But with runners at first and second, Lucas Duda hit a liner up the middle that Marmol speared and flipped to first for the final out.
Giants 6, Pirates 5: Melky Cabrera hit his eighth homer of the season and Ryan Theriot drove in two runs as Barry Zito (7-6) survived five eventful innings to win for the second time in his last six starts.
Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen had three hits to raise his batting average to a NL-leading .360.
American League
Tigers 4, Royals 2: Rookie Drew Smyly struck out a career-high 10 in six impressive innings and Delmon Young homered as Detroit got back to .500 for the first time since May 15. They had failed the last eight times when needing one win to reach the mark.

LOVE elements VANILLA~ WATERCOLOR TAGS~ ORANGE SUGAR
We have so many ideas for our LOVE elements collaborations, but we decided that there is nothing better than receiving a decadent little something on your doorstep to feel loved. The brilliant Lindsey (of Green Apple Photography) had the greatest idea to make homemade Madagascar Vanilla for our friend and neighbor gifts this year and of course I was in -- everything done with a friend is always more fun!
It all started with the idea of the vanilla and then we thought of adding a gift of organic orange infused sugar too -Why not! Who wouldn't love to sprinkle orange infused sugar on their Christmas morning crêpes - c'est magnifique! We had such a blast making these gifts and the kitchen smelled incredible to say the least. It was amazing to watch petite Lindsey standing on a chair to create magic with her camera. As for the packaging, (because sometimes it is all about presentation) we found some lovely bottles, weck jars and some adorable red twine to pretty them up. The darling tags were made exclusively by the talented Jayne Swallow, of October Ink . We decided hand painting the tags with watercolor would add that unique and personal touch.
As an extra bonus, our gift to you is that she has made these tags downloadable here ...Thank you Jayne! We have also included the instructions for both the Vanilla and the Orange Sugar below.
Merry Homemade Christmas!

Homemade Madagascar Vanilla Extract: 4 ounces of Vodka, 2 vanilla beans, extract grade.
The recipe takes all of 2 steps, so it doesn't get much easier than that. We decided on 4 oz brown tinted bottles, which equals half a cup. You could also double or quadruple this recipe. We decided to use Vodka, the cheapest and best we could find. If you want to be more extravagant you could go with bourbon. This gift ended up not only being gorgeously decadent but also extremely affordable. Our price breakdown per 4 oz was a grand total of $2.50! -$.70 for the bottle, $.80 for the liquor and $1.00 for two vanilla beans.
1-Split the vanilla beans, and cut to fit into bottles. We cut ours in half, so we put in 4 half-vanilla beans.
2-Top off with vodka, seal, and store in a cool, dark place.
3-Shake once a week for 8 weeks.
4-At the end of 8 weeks, your extract is ready! You can remove the pods, and strain out the vanilla bits of yumminess, but I think I will just remove the vanilla pods. I want to keep as much goodness as possible in these.
Voila! Don't worry if you don't have yours done 8 weeks before Christmas ( we didn't.) Just add some instructions on your tag, or a little sticker with the ready by date. I think it will be fun for the recipient to be involved in the process.
Orange Sugar: A whole bunch of sugar, and some orange zest (we used organic from Trader Joes.)
Another simple and easy gift is this amazing sugar-- both delicious and lovely! I couldn't stop eating the spilled bits on my counter. Basically, we just combined sugar and orange zest and then tasted it - Voila! We used a mortar and pestle, but for larger quantities, you could use a food processor or blender. The orange zest is strong, so use sparingly and taste as you go ( my favorite part) You could even play around with different fruits–Pomegranate, lemon or even a combo of the two would be a treat!
Green Apple Photography: all gorgeous photos, Homemade Tags: Made exclusively by October Ink., Madagascar Vanilla Beans: we bought bulk extract grade beans, Extract Jars: If you live in Utah, you can pick these up and save some $$ on mailing, Red and White Twine: Maison Confiserie et Boutique, Weck Jars: At your local kitchen supply store.

Property insurance expected to cost city less this year
A year after paying record prices for property insurance, city officials see a decrease in what the city will have to spend to cover its $260 million in property.
Last year, the city paid $1.7 million for insurance, about double what it had paid in previous years. The increase was attributed to the active hurricanes seasons of 2004 and 2005. Now, after two quiet storm seasons, insurance costs have gone down to $1.3 million.
City officials said it buys insurance from many companies, each taking part of the coverage in a "layered program." The city also buys wind coverage from state-backed Citizen's Insurance for all of its properties east of Interstate 95.

An emergency service call on a Sunday as my main drain in the basement badly clogged and overflowing. Alex and Hamed showed up from another job. They worked until 9:30pm to remove their snake that had become stuck on tree roots. They called a 3rd plumber at 8pm on a rainy Sunday night who helped fix the problem. They then recommended how they would replace the drain and the procedures when all they wanted to do was go home to their wives and eat dinner. The price charged was so ridiculously low that I added a big tip to make up for their hard work. Highly recommended and my new plumbers moving forward
M in Thornhill | Sep 26th 2013
Called Top Choice Plumbing on short notice and they came out in 2 days. 2 gentlemen came out and worked quite hard for 4 hours. The work was great and as they were fixing the toilet they also asked for cleaning supplies to clean areas that were exposed during the repair. They are now my go to plumbers.
Nick from York | Sep 1st 2013

100 Healthy Dinner Recipes
With 30 minutes, you have enough time to make a healthy dinner that's tasty, too. By using meaty mushrooms, hearty beans, or alternative grains, you'll be exploring a wider variety of foods to help you create a healthy recipe plan for the entire day. Find a small one that weighs about a pound, and you need minimal seasoning to make it shine on the dinner table. This practice can encourage poor eating habits and choices and it also, just as importantly, means that parents, kids or partners don't really get a chance to 'check-in' with each other. Both the Healthy Eating Pyramid and the Healthy Eating Plate are based on the latest science about how our food, drink, and activity choices affect our health. The Healthy Eating Plate and the companion Healthy Eating Pyramid summarize the best dietary information available today. All of these recipes have been specially designed for two and, as you'll see, produce delicious meals with minimal ingredient leftovers.
Low-maintenance, nutritious, and oh-so-tasty, these seven recipes feature just six ingredients or fewer. Getting into a new routine of prepping all your meals ahead can take time to take some getting used to. Peters suggests starting with a few days' worth of meals at a time, then slowly building up to making a whole week of meals in one session.
Start with ramen noodles and add fresh veggies, tender pork, and a dab of rich hoisin sauce for a flavorful dinner idea that's ready in just 20 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy water that the pasta was cooked in. Set aside. With all the craze surrounding juice and smoothies these days, it can seem daunting to make one in your own kitchen, but there are so many easy recipes that'll make you realize how far that is from the truth. Behold, 50 of the healthiest meals you can make in 20 minutes or under, from simple salads, noodles and rice dishes, as well as tacos and pizzas.
We're told that the healthiest meals are the most colorful, and this dinner is basically a rainbow on a plate. That's why I created this week of dinner recipes—all qualify as heart-healthy and delicious. As the Arborio rice cooks in the microwave, the sausage, onion, mushrooms, and asparagus are heated up in a pan, mix it all together, and you have a quick rice dinner for two. Take back the dinner hour: We've created a week's worth of great-tasting meals with real nutritional punch. To stave off boredom, freeze one or two meals each time you make a new recipe so you can swap in something different throughout the week. The Healthy Eating Plate does not define a certain number of calories or servings per day from each food group. The Healthy Eating Plate encourages consumers to use healthy oils , and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat.
You'll find all the nutritious slow cooker , skillet and 5-ingredient meals you need in this digital cookbook. A light and healthy dinner recipe, this dinner meal will change your mind about vegetarian meals. Dinnertime as I'm sure most experience, can be just as tough to plan as the other two important meals in the day. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy oils, and healthy proteins like nuts, beans, fish, and chicken should make it into the shopping cart every week, along with a little yogurt or milk if desired. But thanks to canned beans and tomatoes, it's ready to hit the dinner table in 30 minutes. The recipes I've given you are both filling and fueling, chock-full of nutritious power-packed ingredients.

BRUSSELS, June 4 (Reuters) - Russia is pulling back most of its troops from the Ukrainian border but a portion of the Russian force "looks like it intends to remain," NATO's top military commander said on Wednesday.
U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe, also said Russian irregular forces, Russian-backed forces and Russian financing were very active in eastern Ukraine and "this has to stop".
All steps being taken by NATO to reinforce its members in eastern Europe would comply with NATO's 1997 agreement with Russia, Breedlove told reporters, accusing Moscow of breaking the pact "when they crossed a sovereign boundary and annexed under fire a portion of a sovereign nation."
He also said that NATO and its member countries were considering a wide range of requests for help from Ukraine, including lethal aid. (Reporting by David Brunnstrom; editing by Adrian Croft)

What does it mean to feel "at home" during an affordable-housing crisis? How does this crisis—leading to extreme rent burdens, precarious living situations, widespread displacement, and homelessness—impact people's sense of belonging and community? And how are these personal impacts tied to broader social and ecological impacts—as families sacrifice basic needs to make rent, and as unaffordable housing drives sprawling, unsustainable urban development?

I guess the biggest thing has been taking voluntary redundancy. Ten days from being told my job going was a possibility, to walking out with y head held high and on my terms. Very sad to leave an organisation I loved, not so sad to leave behind a boss of the very worst sort. Two months later, my own consultancy business was up and running with clients, an accountant and everything! Not bad at all.
Changing my way of working has been great. More space in my day, no one to answer to, picking and choosing projects. Relaxed, slower, satisfying. I've not got it completely sussed yet but I'll get there. I like my new 'portfolio career'. Self discipline and procrastination do need some tackling though.
Last night I went out for dinner with eight friends/family, nice cafe bar in the east end with an acoustic music night. Lots of laughing and chat. I'm glad my sister organised it because left to my own devices I would let my birthday pass without a word. I'm embarrassed by the fuss.
I am grateful for my friends and glad we could share this meal together, and glad that they want to make a fuss of me even if I don't want to make a fuss of myself.
I wonder who and what the next year will bring.
PS I am none of these people but I loved seeing my friends laugh and smile – I can't take credit for the storytelling that's amused them so much either but it was all lovely.

"There is no quainter or more romantic spot than Gullane. Nor are there finer links anywhere; try them for yourself. And what with hill and valley, fresh air and fine scenery, say if you can bring me anything to match by beloved Gullane." Rev. John Kerr, The Golfer's Guide 1894
The decision to bring links golf back to the Scottish Open has made it once again one of the top events on the European Tour. Phil Mickleson's victory at Castle Stuart in 2013, along with Justin Rose's win at Royal Aberdeen last year, only enhanced the tournamant's stature. The field gets stronger each year as players gear up for the British Open Championship, relishing the chance to play Open-like links courses. Mickelson gave full credit to the event in preparing him for his own Open conquest. Often, Americans "discover' these courses for the first time simply because they host the Scottish Open. How lucky we are.
This year the Scottish Open is taking place at Gullane Golf Club. The Club is comprised of three links courses whose numbers reflect their age. A few holes from Course #2 will join a majority from #1 to create this week's test.
Although Gullane is a staple on many golf trips to Scotland, it is still an unknown course to many, even those who are scheduled to play it. It is often over-shadowed by neighboring courses Murfield and North Berwick, who have rich golfing histories. Murfield, besides being a stalwart of the Open rota, is home to the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, who are said to have formed the original rules of Golf. North Berwick Golf Club has a deep architectural history. It is home to the original Redan green, the 15th, and the original Biarritz green, the 16th. The architectural features of these greens have been mimicked the world over.
With such a rich history of golf surrounding it, it is easy to see why Gullane could be overlooked. The club
officially opened in 1884, but records indicate that golf has been played on the links land here for 350 years. The original course – and the best of the three – #1, begins low in the valley and quickly rises up to a vast plateau, where holes three through sixteen lie. From the highland the player is treated to spectacular views of the Firth of Forth, and to the west you can enjoy views of Murfield Golf Club. Although a traditional links "out and back" course – the 9th is at the farthest point from the clubhouse – the holes, much like neighboring Murfield, constantly change direction. The golfer must deal with changing winds from hole to hole, thereby creating great variety. The greens are fast and true, some of the finest in Scotland.
The architect of Gullane #1 is unknown, however the imaginative design is still relevant today. No two holes either look or play the same, and its beauty is unmatched. It is a tough but fair test – if you're hitting it straight and putting well, you'll score. This week Gullane will be in the spotlight of Scottish golf, and it is a worthy centerpiece. It is as enjoyable a place as any you will find in Scotland, one you'd be proud to play every day of your life.

Every high school athlete wants the proverbial "full-ride", the all-inclusive package that makes you a BMOC or big man on campus the first day of classes. Athletes naturally want to feel rewarded for their hard work. Possibly, they want their parents to feel the money and time spent traveling to tournaments was worth it. It is important to remember that lacrosse is a powerful tool in gaining admission to a great school, the rewards of which will be felt through an athlete's career and life.
Let's demystify scholarship and examine a few misconceptions below.
- There are many scholarships available, including "full rides"
— Fully funded Division I men's and women's programs typically spread 12.6 and 12 full scholarships, respectively, across their entire roster; as a result, incoming recruiting classes have to share 3 full scholarships amongst themselves
— Division II men's and women's programs have 10.8 and 10 full scholarships, respectively
— Most Division I and II programs are not fully funded and therefore offer less than the maximum amount of scholarships allowed by the NCAA
— College coaches generally focus on making sure all players receive a partial scholarship, making the "full ride" a rarity in college lacrosse
- Athletes will pay the full price of tuition and expenses without a scholarship
— Student-athletes are eligible for need-based financial aid, grants and loans; refer to the net price of a school to see what incoming freshman actually pay on average after grants and scholarship aid
— Scholarships are renewed annually and prospects who do not receive a scholarship their freshman year are eligible to receive them in later years; these one-year renewable grants are guaranteed for one year, not four but it is common practice for them to be renewed at the same level year-to-year
- Coaches only consider my athletic skills and grades in offering a scholarship
— Coaches perform an extensive background check into an athletes' character before offering a scholarship because it is a financial risk for the coach and school
— Coaches may call your high school and club team coaches, guidance counselors, teachers and possibly even your friends
— Make sure you are a leader and setting a positive example on the team and in the classroom; be aware of your class attendance and how you get along with teammates, demonstrate a strong work ethic and integrity in your activities

See photos of what really happen at Kanye & Kim's Wedding!
Kanye Kardashian is his name ( kind of haha), and he is here to stay. A great move on his part to join the Royal Family ( The Kardashians). He claims that he wants his privacy, and he hates the camera, paparazzi, etc., but that is tough to believe when you marry into a family that is known to be in the spotlight. Anyways, here are some never before seen photos of Kimyes wedding, doesn't seem too secretive anymore 😉
Kim and Kanye's closest friends and family, including Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner followed by Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner, traveled all the way to Florence, Italy for the nuptials. The star-studded guest list also boasted Hollywood power players like John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, LaLa Anthony and Carmelo Anthony, Scotty Pippen,Big Sean and Tygajust to name a few.
This saga will last a long time friends, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

Pros And Cons Of Choosing A Reflector Telescope
There are main types of telescopes for a backyard observer; refractor and reflector. They differ in the manner they collect and focus light into the eyepiece. A telescope buying guide can help you find the best. In this post, you will learn about reflector telescope. This type uses a series of small and large mirrors to amplify and bend the light from planets and stars. It is quite difficult to imagine that you can use mirrors to see planets and distant galaxies.
Types of reflector telescopes
This is the first telescope that was invented by Issac Newton, a great scientist of the 17th century. He noted that lenses suffered from chromatic dispersion. He made the first telescope in 1668 using a mirror to bypass the issue of chromatic aberration.
You will find the design of this type of telescope quite simple. This explains why it is quite popular with the novice stargazers. There is a large mirror at the base of telescope tube that focuses the image onto a flat mirror that sends the image to eyepieces where it is magnified.
This type of telescope uses a concave primary mirror and a convex secondary mirror. The light comes on top of the telescope, which is then reflected by a mirror to the eyepiece. The light is sent back to the hole in the primary mirror. This design is quite complex and very expensive.
Advantages of reflector telescope
This is an all-around telescope with many advantages over reflector type telescopes. The design of a reflector telescope is less intricate as compared to that of a refractor telescope. This explains why these types of telescopes are less expensive as compared to others. Moreover, it provides a lot of magnifying power in a compact design. In fact, large models offer a lot of value for money as compared to the refractor telescopes. Also, they are very effective for viewing far objects in space thanks to fast focal ratio.
Although they are all-around telescopes particularly for a beginner astronomer, it is not without drawbacks. Alignment of mirrors is quite delicate, and transportation may be a problem. Mid-size of the large versions of the telescopes tend to be quite bulk as compared to the refractor models. Moreover, lower-end models are known to produce distorted images. Also, there is a lot of time involved in maintenance particularly in aligning and cleaning mirrors.
Just like any telescope, you need to consider both pros and cons when buying. The good thing about reflector telescopes is that they are simple and effective making them perfect for star gazers and astronomers.

I get far more surprises with LDs as you just enter one and let ones subcosnciousness take you on a journey (one which I thou can control.

LDs gives one the most opportunity to explore oneself
OBES and LDs each have their own benefits and cons. (two realities, different rules one can say)
To me, they're simply one in the same. But then, you probably knew I'd say that.

I don't know, but I do know there is no way around our boys having the urge to wrestle 24/7!
Uncle Jeff was a big time wrestler in high school, so maybe they will follow in his footsteps!
The point is, if you want in good with Ashton and Weston, then you'd better be prepared for a good ol' romp on the floor-complete with pulling, rolling and twisting.

text: Anatomy of a "proper" name necklace Leave a reply The storied "classic" name necklace traces it's history back to the 70's, where it was a staple of many young ladies. In the 80's and 90's we manufactured our nameplates for many jewelers in the NY City area. They became a huge hit with fashion conscious teens & twenty-somethings in New York and New Jersey, and eventually our classic 14k gold script design found it's way (via Patricia Field) onto the famous neck of Carrie Bradshaw! While there are many jewelry companies making name necklaces these days, most are sad, flimsy imitations. We STILL make our classic 14k gold name necklaces the same way we did over 30 years ago, and we STILL think ours are the best! Here is a handy visual presentation highlighting the superiority of our Classic Script Name Necklace. As we didn't want to embarrass our competitors by using an actual photo of their nameplate, we have used an artists representation: *Full disclosure: we couldn't afford to hire an artist so I drew it. I am not an artist.

Why the Rich Should Revolt — And It's Not For the Reasons They Think

Financial Post
On July 15, a beautiful 26 C summer day in Ottawa, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the Justin Trudeau government's plan to revamp tax rules for small business corporations. The Liberals say these corporations — formally known as Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations — take advantage of giant tax loopholes that Canada's wealthy use to dodge billions of dollars in taxes.
The loopholes are complicated and Morneau's proposed fixes are even more so. The minister allowed 75 days for experts and users of CCPCs to assess the proposed changes. Some say the review period is too short, but it has been long enough for a groundswell of opposition to build among tax lawyers, doctors, farmers, small business owners and others.

I was disappointed that Sunday's Daytona 500 got rained on and they had to call the race before it was over. Even so, I'm super pscyhed that racing season is back, so I thought I'd drag out this 12-shot pano of last year's Camping World Truck Series Camping World RV Sales 200 (no joke, real name) at the Milwaukee Mile. Wish I had somewhere to host the 9572 x 3103 original.
One thing that's always impressed me about Nascar is its website. Instead of functioning as a corporate press release office (like Formula 1's site), Nascar.com is a full-fledged online hub of activity for its competitors, journalists, and fans. It serves up content, with live telemetry, radio communications, and 3d-virtualizations (available through a reasonably-priced paid subscription) during Cup races; free ESPN streams of Nationwide races; and extended race highlights available following the events (and unlike Bernie, Nascar doesn't go around pulling clips from YouTube). It connects their fans and gives them a community, as anyone who signs up for an account at the site is able to write their own blog, hosted at Nascar.com, and join the message boards. And it also functions as online magazine, hosting numerous editorials, commentary, and analyses written by journalists who appear to have near-complete independence to speak their mind. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is how freely these writers are allowed to criticize the organization that hosts their work and pays their bills. Take a look at the featured article splashed across the current Nascar.com homepage:
In case you can't read it, it says "Nascar made a change to its single-file restarts. Now it needs to address double-file restarts, in which lapped cars are allowed to pull alongside the inside of lead cars."
Yes, the front page story at Nascar's own site the day after Nascar's biggest race of the year is actually a journalist arguing that said crown jewel has exposed the fact that Nascar has hurt competition by messing up its own rules. And here's another excerpt from the article, where the writer printed a fan email:
Yes, the front page story at Nascar's own site the day after Nascar's biggest race of the year is actually a ranting fan who argues that not only did Nascar do its fans a disservice by cutting the race short, it hurt the integrity of its own sport, and accuses Nascar of staging a fixed race! At Nascar's own site! It's as if the day after the Monaco Grand Prix, Formula1.com had given their site over to a PF1 comment thread. But it also demonstrates clearly how Nascar has been able to nurture its fan base and establish such a strong foothold in the American sporting consciousness.
NASCAR blew this call big time. When your top 10 consists of one driver that had led a lap prior to the last green-flag lap of a race with nearly 50 laps remaining--you have a bad finish.
If this is the marquee event of your series, you run it to the finish. Whether you have an hour delay, or two days of delay, you run 500 miles. You don't take away from previous champions by putting a name on that trophy that didn't accomplish the same thing. The same thing should apply to the Indy 500, 24 hours at Daytona or LeMans. Finish the race, it deserves to maintain that dignity.
I don't have anything against Kenseth, but I think NASCAR took the opportunity to finally give Jack Roush a Daytona 500 trophy...
NASCAR needs to realize that this year took away from the prestige of the event, and destroyed the momentum that the previous two 500s had going...-- Jared A. Olschewski

Of Frills & Friezes Wednesday, January 19, 2011[5]
One of my favourite Hills houses has just come on the market.
Olivet House c.1920 (formerly known as Wachenappee) sits in all its grandeur at the end of our street here in Stirling.
For a while back in the '90's it was a very gracious Boutique hotel, but was converted back to a private residence by the present Owners.
The land holding is a substantial 6,600 sq. metres approx (1.5 acres) of fabulous Hills garden & the house sits in a wonderful elevated position.
Very nice hedged courtyard outside the back door.
It has all the accoutrements required of a country estate.
The stairs leading down to an all-weather (synthetic grass) tennis court (puts our dodgy old clay court to shame!!).
Fabulous mature trees throughout the garden.
Meandering paths lined with the traditional Hills camelias & rhodies.
And a wide verandah to yell instructions to the gardeners from.
However, as we wander inside things sort of turn pear-shaped. A strange combo. of marbled colour washes on the walls, skirting boards & dado line. I have no doubt that a large amount of money was spent in the '90's getting all these specialist painted finishes done, but I reckon they detract from the true 'personality' of the house.
The formal sitting room is OK.
I feel a refit coming on here in the kitchen.
And the casual meals area off the kitchen has great potential. Love those French doors leading out to the verandah.
The formal lounge room has a bank of fabulous windows, but more of that painted marbled wash-ie thing happening with the walls.
The chunky velour sofas seem to be caught in a time warp
There are 7 bedrooms, and here's where the frills really kick in.
More frills & garlanded friezes.
This is one of the 5 bathrooms, & the ultimate awful frilly Austrian blind thing is in situ.
This is a magical property, & I'm sure with a little clever design, strict adherence to the Less Is More theory, a large skip bin, the phone #'s of Heckle & Jeckle (aka Mike & Chris our favourite Painters & Decorators) & a fat cheque book, the new Owners can end the Frills & Friezes era Olivet House is sadly stuck in - good luck! Estimated sale price is $3 - 3.5 m.

An interesting article which looks into automating your enterprise to improve productivity. Excel Automation is a superb way to automate data processing and report production and with most businesses already owning the Microsoft Excel software needed the cost to complete an Excel automation project can see you return your project investment costs swiftly.
A common set of business activities with potential to be heavily automated and that are carried out across nearly every industry are back-office tasks – the grunt work of wrangling and manipulating data, be it shunting financial information between systems or swapping business information with other people.
A good deal of the data entry and data processing work across all industries could be automated — some 60 percent, according to a recent report by McKinsey.
"There are a huge number of people in back office functions in most corporates doing things that really are monotonous, repetitive, highly rules-based and not really using any of their thought, judgment or cognition," said Redwood's Kinson.
"We have this notion that our job [as automation specialists] is actually not to take the humans out, it's actually to take the robots out of the humans, so that they can actually turn their back on the slow manual, error-prone stuff that gets in the way of their productivity."
