The U.S. media industry still is dominated by men, according to a new study released by the Women's Media Center. While 73.5 percent of journalism and mass communications graduates in 2011 were women, the proportion of women working in media continues to decline, explained MediaBistro.
The 2012 Report on the Status of Women in U.S. Media showed some good news -- women occupied 40.5 percent of newspaper jobs in 2011, compared with 36.6 percent in 2010 -- but "by almost every other measure, media remains overwhelmingly male, and it's getting maler," reported GOOD.

ESL India Premiership Summer Season Finale comes to an end
The ESL India Premiership Summer Season Finale Grand Finals took place on Sunday, June 24, and winners for CS:GO, Clash Royale, and Dota 2 were crowned.
The ESL India Premiership Summer Season Finale Grand Finals took place on Sunday, June 24, and winners for CS:GO, Clash Royale, and Dota 2 were crowned.
NODWIN gaming has launched the ESL India Premiership 2018 as of April 26th with a massive prize pool of INR 1 crore. The tournament will be streamed live.
The finals of the summer edition of the ESL India Premiership saw a jam-packed session of mind-blowing gameplay. On day one, almost every game went into the third final match in the best of three formats. Moving on to day two, all the matches were completely worth watching live as we cheered for our favourites. Both the international teams, Risky Gaming (UAE) and Intelligent Quotient (Cambodia), won the final rounds of CS: GO and Dota 2 respectively. Whereas Arpan Christian from Jammu won Clash Royale.
ESL India Premiership would seem incomplete without cosplay and we witnessed some brilliant work by several enthusiastic gamers. The winners included Genji from Overwatch (Akshay), Dragon Knight (Riley) and Antimage (Gaurav) from Dota 2.
Brands including HyperX, Omen by HP, and Zowie showcased all their latest products and accessories on the show floor. Attendees could enter the demo zones and experience these products through the games that were available for demo. HyperX showcased a roster of all their available gaming products ranging from keyboards to high-performance memory modules to SSDs. The new Cloud Revolver S 7.1 virtual surround sound gaming headset was given the most attention as people got to use them while playing some 1v1 CS: GO matches. Omen showcased their latest lineup of gaming laptops including the Omen 15 and 17. Zowie displayed their lineup of gaming monitors, mice, and also announced their new Celeritas II optical gaming keyboard.
For the first time at a local esports event, fans got to exclusively interact with their favourite teams. The teams and players themselves weren't anticipating much of a turnout at these booths. But they were surprised and overwhelmed as their fans queued up to get an opportunity for signatures and selfies with them. It was wonderful to look at the fan base these teams have been able to attract through these tournaments.
There are several local esports tournaments coming our way and the timetable looks quite busy until the end of 2017. This is great for the emerging esports scene in India as more leagues and competitions are being announced. With the end of ESL India Premiership's summer edition, we look forward to the next tournaments including DewArena, ROG Masters, Taiwan Excellence Gaming Cup, etc.

See Google's Soli make Apple Watch look like a relic
Google has re-introduced us to Project Soli, a gesture-recognition tech that's now small enough to fit in a smartwatch. What's that got to do with Apple Watch, you might be wondering? The gestures they've demonstrated today include a call-back to what we mentioned back in May of 2015: that the Apple Watch Digital Crown would be out-done by Google's Project Soli for smartwatches when the time came. That time is now.

Some of the best things about living in Christchurch are the City Libraries. Last year,when our local libraries were closed, we relied on the Mobile Library bus to bring us our weekly dose of the printed page. The staff became friends and we looked forward to our visits. They shared recommendations and even saved crafty and action adventure books they thought we might like.
Much as I love whiling away an afternoon at a bricks-and-mortar library, I've finally managed to drag myself into the 21st century library world with the realisation that I can download books right to my iPhone. And the best thing- when the lending period is up, the book zips itself back to the library. No more overdue fines! My latest crush is Reinvention by Maya Donenfeld and I was thrilled last week to find it availbale for immediate download. I suggested a while back that the library might like to purchase this book but to be able to tote it round on my laptop is magic.
Over the weekend, I had a go at the first project in the book, Maya's Story Scarves. I like what she says about the scarf not being able to be planned ahead of time, that it evolves as it is pieced together. I'm a big fan of this kind of stitching and often spend days contemplating the bits I'm going to sew together for some patchy project. They get pinned up and arranged and re-arranged on the inspiration wall at school. The kids have their 2 cents worth and eventually something gets decided.
So, the bits for this. An old linen shirt and scraps of a printed linen skirt. A Japanese floral and some pieces of embroidery. Actually I've just realised that all these bits are leftovers from the pink wraparound dress. I also added the last few strips of one of my favourite thrifted fabrics – a soft cotton printed with scenes of New York. And then I pin tucked, pleated and stitched.
Extra lace was added with a doily and some crocheted cuffs found in last week's treasure trove. It came together easily and all the while I was thinking of other versions. How about a completely linen one with with texture from pleats and tucks and gathers? Or a warm wintery flannel one from old work shirts? Or a woolly one with bits leftover from the quilts?
It was simple and fun, I love how it turned out. And a good project is always the one that you can't wait to make the next version of. I can see that there'll be plenty of versions of this.

Leo Durocher-Baseball's Prodigal Son
I am sure no one has missed me on here, but I should probably give a brief explanation of my MIA status. Between a new job, moving back to Philadelphia and figuring out this whole Fatherhood thing, baseball books have become the victim of circumstances. Now that we are settled in our new place and the very large former Ron Kaplan book collection has been moved, I can hopefully focus on some more books, but if anyone has any ideas how to get an eight month old to sleep through the night, I would love to hear from you. I figured I would start back with a book that was highly anticipated by myself and did not disappoint.
I was familiar with Dickson's previous work on his Bill Veeck book and really enjoyed that one, so I expected more of the same with this. Leo Durocher was one of those figures in baseball history that was either loved or hated, somewhere in the middle was not an option. To date, there have been a few books about Durocher, but none recently so it was a subject worth revisiting.
Paul Dickson takes a hard look at both Durocher's playing and managing career. Not really much of a player numbers-wise, he had the small guy attitude that was appreciated by many a manager. This book looks at his trouble with Babe Ruth and the hard-nosed play that forged his cocky reputation. It is very thorough look at an often overlooked part of Leo's resume.
Durocher's real strength was his managing obviously. With varying degrees of success at all of his stops in the big leagues, you see how his hard-nosed playing attitude spills over into his managing. The reader also sees how Leo becomes the victim of a changing game. How more success early in his career does not carry over in the latter years. The game changed along with player attitudes, but old Leo stuck to his guns. It translated into some rough times for the long time manager, but those stops still put the finishing touches on an impressive career.
The one aspect of this book I found most interesting was the details of his private life. From associations with known gamblers, to his friendships with the Hollywood types, it leads to a very interesting life. Of course, the four wives add some zing to that private life also. It is an interesting aspect of Leo that we know some details about, but this sheds a whole new light on the subject.
Overall, this book is tirelessly researched and prepared well. It gets a little stat heavy at times, but the overall content of the book makes up for that lone aspect I did not like. If you have any interest in Durocher, or are a fan of this era of the game, check this one out. At 300+ pages it is a lot of reading but is for sure, time well spent.
Check it out, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

Fastball John-An Amazing Life's Journey
No matter the subject of a baseball biography, there is some sort of story to be told. Some of these stories are better than others and coincide with the skill level of that particular player. Then there are stories like today's book that come from an average player that did not put up Hall of Fame numbers, but has a Hall of Fame caliber story to tell baseball fans. A journey that took him all over North America John D'Acquisto's new book takes a hard and honest look at his life and career and the paths it has led him down. This honest look at his own life opens up a whole new side of John that fans can appreciate.
Fastball John starts the readers on the journey of his life and shows his family roots in San Diego and his journey to become a big league pitcher. Next you learn first hand what it is like to be a first round draft pick with high expectations in a major league setting. Stops with major league teams and a few more stints in the minors are covered as well.
John D'Acquisto shows the readers the ins and outs of what being a baseball player is really like. You see the friendships, the expectations of management, contract disputes and health scares that make up a players life. What I found really interesting is how personal relationships are intertwined within this story. It gives a very intimate touch to a career that is usually unable to sustain those types of relationships. One other factor the the authors were able to incorporate into the story was how the music of the time was able to become part of the moment and permanently ingrained in the memories.
For my money the most interesting part of this story is also one of the saddest. John D'Acquisto's life after baseball was one of accusations, falsehoods and betrayal that in the end led to some serious jail time. John eloquently tells his side of the story of the events that led up to his incarceration and his time behind bars. The sequence of events that led up to this are almost unbelievable and in the end, when you hear all the details wonder how someone could survive something of this magnitude. For what it's worth, I believe D'Acquisto's side of the story, it unfortunately seems to be him trusting the wrong people at the time and the justice system wanting to make an example of someone with a famous name.
Honestly, we have all read the books written by the Superstars and sometimes pass on the stories of a lower tier player. This is one of those times you need to make the effort to read the story of that player. It is a gripping story that shows the genuine side of a Major League Baseball player. He has had good times and some really bad times, but in the end Johnny D. comes across as a pretty cool guy. Loved by the fans of the San Francisco and San Diego, he has paid his dues on both sides of the fence and moved on to well earned greener pastures in his life. Take the time to read this book and you will be able to see their is still some good left in people and read a very enjoyable baseball book at the same time.

Dodgerland-Decadent L.A. and the 77-78 Dodgers
Growing up as a Phillies fan in the late 70's was full of heartbreak, and most of it was at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. My very first game that I went to at the ripe old age of five was the NLCS at Veterans Stadium against those same hated Dodgers. That very game helped prepare me for a lifetime of mostly heartbreak brought to me by my beloved Phillies. Today's book takes a look at two of the Dodgers powerhouse teams from that era and in particular the 77 and 78 versions that really stuck it to my Phillies.
Both of these Dodgers teams contained a plethora of homegrown stars. Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes are just a few of the players who came up through the Dodger farm system playing for their now Major League manager Tommy Lasorda. It helped foster the environment that the Dodgers always outwardly portrayed, that of being one great big happy family. It created unity and allowed them to play at a level on the field that was matched by very few teams in the league. Its surprising that it took them until 1981 to finally win a World Championship.
Michael Fallon has written this book in an attempt to showcase the teams of 77-78. It is a time where the Big Red Machine was on the decline in the N.L. West and the division was ripe for the Dodgers to pick it. All of their homegrown studs were in their prime and all the stars were aligning for them to become a reigning powerhouse. It was a great time to be a Dodger fan and embrace the changing of the guard between Alston and Lasorda, and learn the new fast paced ways of the late 70's
Fallon does tell a good story within these pages and does a nice job relating these facts to the readers. If you were not around in Los Angeles during these years you get a feel of what the vibe was like there. In a time before the internet and instant gratification that we exist in now, it is a good throwback to remember the different ways of our world. It also gives a glimpse of how old school baseball was still alive and well in the game during the late 70's
The downside of this book for me was being from the other side of the continent I had trouble finding a reason to care about the social activities and politics of Los Angeles. It was a lot of names that someone outside of California would be able to recognize or even care about, but for local readers it still gave a vision of life outside of baseball in L.A. My other gripe about this book is that the author at times puts an autobiographical spin on it. Stories about Dad's hardware store and things like that really just felt out of place with what it seemed the book was trying to accomplish. It almost seemed as if the book had a split personality and the two of them did not work well together. My final gripe is that there were some minor baseball factual errors. This seems to be a recurring problem in baseball books and I wish the publishers would hire a freelancer or someone like that just to fact check some of these things. But that really is more of a pet peeve I guess.
Overall its a good baseball book, just be prepared for it to veer off in other directions every so often. If you can live with that aspect of the book, and you have an interest in the Los Angeles Dodgers, then you will enjoy this book.
You can get this book from the nice folks at University of Nebraska Press

Wonder Boy – The Story of Carl Scheib
In my opinion, the arena of Baseball books is in no way an exact science. There is no rhyme or reason as to what person an author chooses to write about, or which players decide I want to write my own book. It leaves readers with endless choices and multiple avenues to pursue their favorite subjects. With all of these choices, readers may get led down a road that they will regret in the end. As I have always said, nobody wants to waste time on a bad book. I wonder which side of the fence today's book falls into?
Carl Scheib is not a household name like Pete Rose or Babe Ruth, but he did have a professional career playing for both the Philadelphia Athletics and St Louis Cardinals. Not being Cy Young reincarnated on the mound led me to believe that this book was going to focus more on his personality and less on his lack of pitching prowess. Well……. I was wrong.
Wonder Boy is very heavy in game by game details of Carl Scheib's professional career. When I say heavy I mean HEAVY! After the first few chapters that give you the standard background on the player, family friends, schooling home life etc., it jumps right into his career. Each chapter tends to cover a full season showing the highlights and lowlights of that year for Scheib. It also tries to mix in a bit of personal information about Carl in each year but seemed forced and unnatural.
Books about a player from Connie Mack's A's, let alone near the end of his regime do not seem like popular subjects. Probably because the team at that point was operated on such a shoe string budget that the quality of players was not that good. Which then led to no one really taking an interest in most of the players on a personal level. It is a double edged sword for the Athletics players in Philadelphia during this era.
If you really, really want to find out information on Carl Scheib this is your only resource right now. It does offer some personal insight into the man and the player and gives the reader some stories about a man who will eventually be forgotten to time because he played for one of those horrible Connie Mack teams. Unfortunately for my taste, this book relies to much on game day play by play to fill its pages.
As always, I leave it to you the reader to check it out and see if you agree with me or not, you can get this book from the nice folks at Sunbury Press

Induction Day Round-Up
It's the Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2016 Induction day today. The one day a year where that sleepy little hamlet in upstate New York looks like Times Square at 11:59 p.m. on New Years Eve. As I watched the speeches of the new members today I took notice as the MLB Network panned around the field, of all the diverse people in attendance. Family, former players, members of the Hall and of course, the people who honestly make this great game possible through their support, the fans. Different people from different generations, backgrounds and paths in life all come together for one day and celebrate the greatness of our game. On days like this you never know who is going to be in the crowd but you can be sure its an interesting mix of fans and baseball history. For the reason of diversity and in honor of Induction day, we are going to look at a very diverse group of books that are currently available in the market and why you should check them out.
1-When the Braves Ruled the Diamond-14 Flags Over Atlanta
Take some time to reminisce about the Atlanta Braves. People can say that the Yankees were the team of the 90's because of their championships, but honestly who was the one team that you was sure was going to be in post season play? Yes, these Braves! It is a fun look at what made these N.L. East destroying teams from Atlanta repeat year after year after year. The only thing that stood in their way in one magical year or their run was my Phillies in 1993. As with Schlossberg's other books, this one is time well spent re-living the magical ride of the Atlanta Braves.
2-Tony C.-The Triumph and Tragedy of Tony Conigliaro
This one is a new edition by a new publisher of the 1997 release under the same name. While not a new book, it is a reminder of the tragedy that can plague our game. A beloved hero in Boston whose career and life was cut tragically short. A career full of promise and from most accounts a pretty interesting guy off the field as well, this book chronicles the story of Tony C. and what he meant to the Fenway Faithful. I read this when it first came out about 20 years ago and really enjoyed reading it through the fresh edition from Summer Game Books. Another book that will easily get you through the remaining dog days of Summer.
3-A Life Lived-The Story of William "Bill" Blair
A very inspiring story of a former Negro League player and his life after baseball. A short book that comes in under 90 pages but still tells the inspiring story of William " Bill" Blair and how he spent his life after baseball giving back to his hometown community. A great story of a man who never forgot where he came from and how baseball inspired him his whole life through. A quick read, but well worth the time.
4-Last Train to Cooperstown
Author Kevin Mitchell takes a look at the inadvertent but probably final class of Negro League inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006. The book offers thorough profiles on each of the chosen few and what their contributions to the game were. He also offers a conclusion as to what may occur with others from the Negro Leagues in the future. Its very good insight into this well deserved class of Negro Leaguers that made the hall in 2006.
5-Tales From the San Francisco Giants Dugout
An updated and re-release of previous versions, this new issue adds some new stories and anecdotes about the Giants and their fans. If you are a fan of this team you will not want to miss this book. There also are the same books available for almost every other team out there, so check Sports Publishing's website if you are looking for another team. These books are always a good time for the reader.
6-The Tigers and Yankees in '61
Another magical year in baseball history is showcased in this one. A hard fought pennant race, the chase to make history for teammates and a few star players who had career years. The Yankees are getting near the end of their dominating years in this one but does show the reader what the American League landscape looked like during this era. If you are a fan of this era and a fan of the types of books McFarland publishes as well, then this is a book you will not want to miss.
7-A Band of Misfits-Tales of the 2010 San Francisco Giants-Triumph Books
8-The Fightin' Phillies-100 Years of Phillies Baseball-Triumph Books
I group these together because while the may be different, they have very strong similarities. The both cover a specific team and give important anecdotes and stories about their histories. Whether they are covering one specific season or a full century worth of that teams stories, they are entertaining for fans of the respective teams. The only warning I give readers on these types of books is to go into them realizing these are the same stories you have probably heard 100 times over. You will probably get no new stories out of these, but they are good for reminiscing about your favorite team.
9-Jackie Robinson-An Integrated Life
Another perspective on the groundbreaking life of Jackie Robinson. We are all familiar with the story, but instead of taking it from a baseball point of view, it shows the results from a social impact perspective. It puts a different spin on the whole Jackie Robinson story and adds new insights to the entire story. Jackie Robinson's admirable legacy is about so much more than just baseball, and this is only one of the many different angles.
10-Out of Left Field-Jews and Black Baseball
Another book that takes a look at the social impact a baseball team had on our world. This one takes a look at how a team made up of black Jews made a name for themselves in the Negro Leagues. It shows how they were able to further the cause of the Negro Leagues and help promote social justices. It was a bit of history I had no idea about and a very good learning experience for me. If you have any sort of interest in the Negro Leagues then check this one out.
11-The Cardinals Way
The Cardinals have come to be America's team. I am not really sure how that happened, but they have through their history churned out some great moments and players that will be remembered for decades to come. By embracing that history and tradition as well as the new theories such as Moneyball, they have become a baseball powerhouse. It shows how combining old and new methods of thinking can have positive outcomes. I am thinking you will see more and more teams following this ideology in the future.
12-The Knuckleball Club
An in depth look at the most confounding pitch ever to grace the game of baseball. The who's, whats and why's of this quirky pitch are covered in this book. It also shares the stories of the Pitchers and Catchers who shared the success of the weird and wild pitch. This is the first book I have found that has shown how it fits into the fabric of the game, and is great knowledge for the average baseball fan. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
13-The Games That Changed Baseball-Milestones in Major League History
This book takes a look at some very important games throughout history. Dissecting what happened and what made them so important. While I do not agree with 100 percent of their picks, all of them were well researched and presented. Fans should check out this book and see if they agree with all of the authors picks. It does introduce some games that would probably create some very spirited debates among fans and friends.
Finally, after we got through all of these books today, I wanted to say a word of thanks to everyone who reads my blog. We have reached our second anniversary and have read a lot of books together up to this point. I do the best I can since this is a hobby and not my job and try and turn out material as quickly as possible. With the pending arrival of our first bundle of joy in the next few weeks, year #3 will be a challenge but I will still find a way to get some posts done. I thank all of you who have sent me books and allowed me to read them and post reviews. Also to the folks that read my posts because without you, there would be no reason to write them. Finally if you have sent me a book recently and I have not posted it yet, don't worry you are not forgotten. I am a little behind for the reasons stated above but you will not be forgotten, please just be patient. Thank you to all again and looking forward to year #3.

The 1986 World Series-There Was More Than Game Six
I am a big fan of anniversaries and nostalgia in baseball. Its good to remember where we came from and what has been accomplished, so a remembrance is always a welcome sight in my eyes. This year we knew it was coming, the 30th anniversary of the 86 World Series. It seems to be a bigger deal this year than the 25th anniversary was, but I always thought the 25th was celebrated more than the 30th, so I'm confused. Be my confusion what it is, we have chosen to go all out and celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most thrilling World Series' on record. With this anniversary there have been a slew of new books coming out celebrating the World Series champs, but today's books take a look at both teams and gives balanced comparisons of them.
If you are not familiar with the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), you have no idea what you are missing. They are the folks who do tireless research and find us more information about our sport than we all ever thought possible. They research complete teams and individual players, and do a stellar job at both. New for this years 30th Anniversary, they have produced two different but connected books that remind fans that the series was about more than just Bill Buckner.
Both of the books follow the same format, so as I am describing them it pertains to both volumes. The authors look at each man on that respective teams roster for the 1986 season. Giving in depth bios, analysis of the season performance and interesting facts about the players. They follow the same format for the Manager, General Manager, Coaching Staff and Announcers. So if this is not your home town team you get a real good feel of their complete personnel package.
Next they look at key team performances throughout the year and take note of several key games that helped the team gain momentum and what made them work as a cohesive unit. Next you see analysis of the Championship Series and the World Series. Finally, it asks a few honest questions about the way the teams were constructed and the important numbers that stick out for each team.
Quite honestly, this is your typical SABR book and is in line with what we have all come to expect from them. It is well researched and you feel very comfortable in the fact that you can take all information at face value and accept as that. Mainly this is because of the tireless efforts and dedication of the SABR staff and the quality work that every one of them puts forth on SABR projects. Each one of these folks that worked on these books should be commended because they have created another quality product.
Baseball fans should check this out because there is always something new fans can learn from these types of SABR books, plus it's always fun to remember Bill Buckner.
You can get these books from the nice folks at SABR.

In Ty Cobb's Shadow
I find it fascinating that within the history of baseball there are still forgotten Superstars. We have left no stone unturned in the documentation of the game, yet there are still players that do not get the respect or recognition they deserve. Napoleon Lajoie is one of those players that falls into this group. Yes he has gotten his plaque in Cooperstown and no one can take away his monster career numbers, but to me he always seems like an afterthought. Perhaps timing comes into play here, being a part of the same generation as some of the games premier immortals, forcing him out of the spotlight. Today's book acknowledges his undeserved existence living in the shadows of the game's bigger stars.
In all honesty, I know of Napoleon Lajoie and his great contributions to the game, but I am not very well read on him. I thought that was somewhat odd for a Hall of Famer, but after a little research I now know that there are not that many Lajoie bios's on the market. So I was hoping with this book to learn a little bit more in depth about both the man and the player. I got some of what I wanted, but not all of it.
This book is not a beginning to end Napoleon Lajoie biography as it is billed. It is a series of anecdotes, poems, photos and other assorted bits that give the reader a very good feel for what baseball was like during this period. Now it also dedicated a good portion of the book to Napoleon Lajoie and his storied career as one would expect. How he was loved by his fans and how he lived his years after baseball. The final chapter of this book shares a conversation between Ty Cobb and Napoleon Lajoie on a warm Florida afternoon a few years before their respective deaths, which I found very interesting. It gave a brief glimpse of the immense pride of these two greats of the game.
The down side of this book for me was that this book was not a full Lajoie biography. It was an opportunity missed for new generations to learn in depth about an oft forgotten Hall of Fame career. My other pet peeve with this book was misspelled words and overall poor editing. Just a pet peeve that arises from time to time for me as an avid reader.
So in the end something is better than nothing at all. It didn't give me enough of the Lajoie information that I was hoping for, but fans of this period should still enjoy it. Hopefully Lajoie is not one of those early superstars of the game who eventually fades into oblivion, as generations go by.

We have a new Recoil Video that gives some feedback on the hottest irons shaft going. Here is the link to the video on you tube –
Recoil Brochure with Specs-'13
Also below is a some good feedback from a player at the Scottish Open. Stuart Smith our European tour rep worked with Damien Mcgrane.
Recoil—I talked to Damien Mcgrane on Tuesday.
He has been struggling of late with his irons.
I suggested he try Recoil.
TM made him a test 7 iron in his head and spec with a 110f4.
He liked the sound better, thought it flew a little higher than the rifle.
The distance was about the same on trackman but he felt Recoil was a better feel and easier to shape.
TM made a full set for him on Wednesday afternoon before the vans headed out.
He put them into play Thursday and did shoot 67
He was -8 after 2 rounds.
About Andrew Hodson
I am the youngest with in a golfing family which has spanned three generations. My grandfather started the tradition in England (Bert Hodson-1931 Ryder Cup Team) and has since passed on his knowledge and love of the game. Although I did not follow in the steps of my father and grandfather on a professional golfing level, my love of the game and commitment to accurately fit equipment has only grown. Even as a kid I enjoyed re-gripping clubs which eventually led to refinishing wood heads, re-shafting, and now has culminated in more detailed custom club fitting, building, and repair.


text: I could not get through to you by calling. I tried a 2lb brass hammer and several others to no avail on my steel bench block and work table. My husband, who is much stronger, also tried. I tried stamping sterling silver and copper both. As a control I stamped my sterling, gold and some very old letter stamps and they worked perfectly even using my riveting hammer. I am a long time silversmith and I actually know what I am doing. Using my loupe I compared these stamps with my older ones. I don't need to tell you that the difference in quality is striking. Just so you know, the Euro Tool was the best of the 3 and the ghostly skull made virtually no impression. I cannot tell you how truly disappointed I am. I know that you did not manufacture these stamps but perhaps you should try using them before you sell them. The main requirement of a tool is that it works, especially when following directions. [Hi Paulette, we are happy to take the stamps back.

The Government had set out a ban to prevent junk food from being sold to children at canteens. Mark Fraser had written a letter to a newspaper company called Community Chronicle on the 29th of October 2010 to share his disbelief at the government's vain attempt to prevent obesity. Throughout this piece, he uses an attacking tone. He aims to target the audience of parents with children in schools to agree with him on his contention that this vain attempt will not benefit the children.
Since the beginning, Fraser believes that eating habits are heavily influenced by the parents. He urges parents to take responsibility of their own children. He admits that he weighs "close to 100 kilograms" and further strengthens his statement by claiming that he is a "responsible parent." He personalizes the statement and enables the audience to see him as a regular person and also being a responsible parent for his children despite being overweight. Fraser argues that children need to learn "self-restraint" and that parents should be responsible to make "informed decisions" for their children.
He implies to the audience that a responsible parent should educate their children on their food choices.
Fraser quoted Dr Peter Clifton who said "37 percent" of their daily energy intake is consumed at school, but only "14 percent" was lunch bought from the school canteen and "schools should be a focus for combating childhood obesity but strategies were needed to tackle the lunchbox, not just the school canteen." He shifts the blame from the school cafeteria to the parents, implying that the parents should make good decisions for their children when packing for them.
Fraser believes that the bans will have no impact on children's eating habits. He begins by claiming this "strategy will not make our children perfectly healthy eaters" and " it will not encourage our kids to get out and get fit." He implies that they're other more effective solutions out there other than "canteen policing". Fraser had also quoted two major principals' associations that "young people consume at most 5 of their 21 meals a week at school" and the policy would make kids feel that "junk food is an attractive "taboo"." He reinforces his contention by implementing the use of expert opinion, leading the audience to be more likely to believe his contention.
Lastly, Fraser expresses his concern regarding the schools' finances by stating that the "canteen is a major revenue stream for school funding." He suggests that once the ban is put into place, sales wouldn't be too great and there schools would lose it's main source of revenue. Fraser also questioned whether the government would be "allocating additional funds for the revenue shortfall" He also suggested that the government might not fund the school's revenue shortfall even if the school is affected by the ban. Fraser suggests that the ban will most likely cause major financial problems regarding the schools' revenue steam.
Fraser believed that the ban proposed by the government was merely a waste of time. He had strongly conveyed his negative opinion toward the government's approach from the very start. He believes that children's eating habits are majorly influenced by the parents, not the school canteen's food choices. Fraser also believes that the bans will be off no impact toward children's eating habits and at the same time also cause major financial problems for the school. He urges for the state government to "wake up" and see that "kids need opportunities to make their own decisions" and "stay active."

text: Hi all! I'm having some trouble using the beamer class and trying to set frames \AtBeginDocument. A minimal example \documentclass[]{beamer} \AtBeginDocument{\frame{test1}} \begin{document} \frame{test2} \end{document} already shows first problems: The navigation symbols are totally wrong (at the top of test1, at the bottom of test2). Ok, in my document I don't make use of these symbols, but I have some other effects: • the footline goes anywhere, but not at the bottom. can be corrected by using \vspace* • the headline leaves about 4mm of blank space above it which cannot be corrected by \vspaces • \inserttotalframenumber prints just 1 instead of the actual number The beamer documentation says • The height of the headline and footline templates is calculated automatically. This is done by typesetting the templates and then "having a look" at their heights. This recalculation is done right at the beginning of the document, after all packages have been loaded and even after these have executed their \AtBeginDocument initialization. So I guess I cannot use \AtBeginDocument to print \frames. Does anybody have an advise how to handle this? I need AtBeginDocument as the first two frames are generated half-automatically. Is there any internal feature I can use (which is stable enough to really use it?) or hack it myself anyhow? I could try to use \AtBeginSection instead but then I'd have to insert a \section by hand which is useless. I'd be thankfull for any suggestions, cheers Arno -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

> No reporting of the event!
> It was not reported anywhere.
> Was the media under instructions to blow up any untoward incident at the meet!
> The demonstration has been peaceful-for more than 100days!!
> I am bewildered.
> Why does my own government refuse to give me what is mine (everyone in uniform)!
> Why do they refuse to give me what has been agreed to forty three years ago!
> Why do they refuse to clear-in it's original form-what has been promised by successive governments, looked in to microscopically by a parliamentary committee, agreed upon by two-all party parliament approvals, found in order by the highest court of the land and agreed to by the present government.
> I was/ am the last line of defence that my country has against external aggression and internal problems.
> I am different.
> I don't want to go to Jantar Mantar!

Page by page, Brooks skillfully addresses how to spot and profitfrom trading ranges—which most markets are in, most of thetime—using the technical analysis of price action. Along theway, he touches on some of the most important aspects of thisapproach, including trading breakouts, understanding support andresistance, and making the most informed entry and exit decisionspossible. Throughout the book, Brooks focuses primarily on 5 minutecandle charts—all of which are created withTradeStation—to illustrate basic principles, but alsodiscusses daily and weekly charts. And since he trades more thanjust E-mini S&P 500 futures, Brooks also details how priceaction can be used as the basis for trading stocks, forex, TreasuryNote futures, and options.

Give local
By Chad Ingram
Published Nov. 22, 2018
With a host of yuletide festivities getting underway in the county, it would appear that the Christmas season is upon us.
From the lighting up of Minden last weekend, to the Santa Claus parades and Festival of Trees this upcoming weekend, the community is getting dressed up in green and red.
And white. Mother Nature has, uh . . . blessed us with an early, mid-November snowfall that seems to be taking up residency. Just really making itself at home. Not going anywhere any time soon. While the scenario may not be ideal to some of us, it does bring with it a certain Christmas-y feeling, one that may even be spurring residents to get to work on tackling their holiday shopping lists.
When doing your gift shopping this season, please remember to give some thought to local business owners. In an area that still has a largely seasonal economy, winter can be a lean time, and a little influx of Christmas cash could go a long way for some businesses. It may be true that the county does not have the kind of selection that allows all of us to do all of our Christmas shopping locally, but almost certainly there are some items on your list that can found within the county.
And while the shops of Bobcaygeon Road and Highland Street may be the first thing that comes to mind when we consider shopping locally, remember there are plenty of other businesses that provide plentiful gift-giving opportunities, too.
Perhaps this year, rather than things, you give your loved ones experiences; a day of dogsledding or ice climbing or ice fishing or skiing. Or gift certificates for local restaurants or accommodations.
Or maybe you visit one of the many artists' studios throughout the Haliburton Highlands. Gifts of jewelry or pottery or art are great because of their uniqueness. Local art is also a fantastic gift idea if you want to give someone a gift that is representative of the Haliburton Highlands.
The benefits of shopping locally are well-documented. The money you spend stays in the community, it helps create and maintain jobs, and you are supporting your friends and neighbours.
If you prefer to give a gift that is a donation, there are numerous non-profit and charitable groups throughout the county that are always looking for help, particularly at this time of year.
Happy shopping.

As you know UGS is in the business of shedding true Peace Love and Happiness to local and non local individuals that have expressed success! UGS is super excited to have had the opportunity to get in contact with Charles Brockman III. He is an awesome individual of the community as well as a Junior Olympian! UGS congratulates Charles on his success!
Charles Brockman III is a native from Plano, Texas. He has an array of talents that have given him great success! He is all about motivation and inspiring those who believe that pursing their dreams is impossible!
He currently attends Mississippi State University where he has been showing off his athletic talent! He was awarded the Jason Richardson Outstanding Hurdle Performance Award. He also competed in USATF Junior Championships where he won the bronze medal, as well as finishing 17th in the NCAA Championships. He has broken Mississippi State freshmen record with a 50.36 in the 400m Hurdles. Charles Brockman III is doing big things and we at UGS are excited for his Success!! Keep striving for greater and Never Give up!!
At the Early age of seven (7) he was involved in many activities to include Theater, Band, Choir, and Track. Since having the goal to be a successful young man, he has competed in countless track meets, national championships as well as receiving an Athletic Scholarship to pursue his Track Career. While a scholar on the track, he also has a strong passion for music! In his younger years he started a youtube channel that housed all of his musical covers as well as original songs, which brought him great joy as well as the 3,000 subscribers! When he made a decision to get involved into track
more seriously it was advise to him to choose Track or Music. Deleting the channel and taking the advise given, in 2015 he eventually declined the advise and took a stand to prove those who opposed to his doings of both, wrong.
Brockman is a strong believer in being able to do anything that you put your mind to do, but you must be willing to put in the time and effort it takes for it to thrive. Now today Charles Brockman III is working hard in his music as well as his athletics. He quoted "To be honest, follower count does not matter at all to me. I'm trying to post the best content I can, and pray that whomever stumbles across it, loves what I do." His plans are to release music regularly as well as videos that uplift his community through life situations, cooking, as well as Student Athlete help. Being discouraged numerous of times, his discouragement was the very thing that inspired him to keep pushing!
God blessed me with so many talents and I plan on using them all on my page for the world to see.- Charles Brockman III
Love what he is doing and represents?

We were asked by some friends of ours (the East End of Greenock Churches) to design and produce several large Celtic crosses, for a visit to sister churches in Zambia.
7 of these were originally made and went with the group to Zambia in 2013 as part of their "Together for Change" programme.
We originally produced these from African Iroko Wood and were so impressed that we decided to make smaller versions for our range of hand finished wooden items. We now produce these from ash, beech or oak.
These all polish to a lovely finish which highlights the grain on each cross and the hand finishing means that each piece is individually unique.
Ash with base and without 170mm
Beech Flat Pack 170mm
Beech Flat Pack 90mm
Due to products being hand made from various woods, sizes may have a slight variance of a few millimetres.
|19 × 10 × 1.8 cm
|Cross Style
Ash with Base (170mm), Ash no Base (170mm), Beech Flat Pack (170mm), Beech Flat Pack (90mm), Keyring

Day 180 (Australia – The Gibb Day 21)
As I passed the radio at the entrance to Mornington Road I found treasure: a half-frozen bottle of water and a kiwi fruit, left for me by Di and Laura, staff from Mornington who had passed by earlier in the morning. Also at the radio were a family of four who were on their way out of Mornington when they got a flat tyre. They replaced it with their single spare tyre, but this quickly shredded too, so they were stuck. You need a minimum of two spare tyres out here, even on a bicycle. Eventually, I reached the beautiful little oasis of Adcock Gorge. The waterfall was not running but the pool into which it would pour was amazing anyway. I did the two things that you kind of have to do in such a place: swim and nap. The gorge walls created a natural amphitheatre that amplified the noises of the bush – the rustle of leaves as a snake slid by, the arrogant call of corellas, the melody of a pied butcherbird, the splash of a crocodile entering the water, the slosh of a fish breaching the surface trying to escape this crocodile.
