Tour gossip: Building irons for Mattero ManasseroOctober 11, 2013 Golf Equipment
The Italian youngster has already put Titleist's latest 714 irons in his bag – but it is a set with a difference
Take a peak into the bag of Matteo Manassero and you will see two different models of Titleist irons. For some time now, he has chosen to carry bladed MB short irons and at least one cavity-backed AP2 long iron. We spoke to Phil Dimmock, Titleist tour technician who is pictured above, to find out why and learn more about the challenges of building the Italian's clubs…
Why did Matteo decide to blend from MB short irons to AP2 long irons?
He actually originally went with a blended set on 712 as he felt he had more control over MB short irons, particularly the trajectory. With 712 this was generally from 7 iron down with MB (occasionally 6 iron). With 714 he has now gone with MB from 5 iron down. With the new model, he felt that the MB gave him the trajectory he wanted.
Where in the set is the transition?
The 4 iron is AP2 and 5-PW is the bladed MB iron.
How tricky was it to achieve even gapping given the different characteristics of the two models – presumably it is not as simple as moving from, say, from a regular AP2 6 iron into an MB 7 iron?
It was actually very easy as it was all done by loft requirements. Matteo has his desired lofts for each iron and they were built to that specification. This would differ from the stock lofts on offer for our new iron line. Anybody looking to do a mixed set will certainly need to take into consideration the loft increments as they move through the set as well as the extra forgiving nature of a more technical iron like AP1 or AP2.
Were you surprised that he jumped from a blade to AP2 rather than CB?
When he first turned professional, Matteo had a full set of AP2s and has gradually gained more and more confidence with blade-like irons making it easy for him to transition into the pure blade offered in MB.
The new pre-worn sole design on MB 714 has further aided his confidence in the playability of these irons. From a long iron perspective AP2 provides more of the trajectory he was looking for than CB hence the AP2/MB combination.
Can you explain the difference in performance for Matteo between an MB 4 iron and an AP2 4 iron?
This is entirely down to flight. Its not a strike or confidence element – Matteo is a pure ball striker and as such he can hit the MB long irons well, but he enjoys the flight of AP2 for his shot preference
To what extent would you recommend a club player consider a blended set like Matteo's?
Any player of any level can certainly give consideration to a mixed set be that MB/CB, AP2/AP1 or even a combination of more than two. The keys are having confidence in what each iron provides and ensuring that you are properly custom fitted and certainly ensure gapping is taken into consideration especially given loft differences in our standard set make-up and forgiveness provided by each series in the line.
- Titleist's new 714 AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons are available now. Visit titleist.co.uk for more information.

Anonymouslifts are usually constructed to carry just one person
It should be called a lift, because you can lift something up and you can lift something down. Elevate is a verb which means to raise or lift (something) to a higher position. You cannot elevate something down. Therefore it should be called a lift and not an elevator. ☺

One woman died and her would-be rescuer was injured in a Northland house fire.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - One woman died and her would-be rescuer was seriously injured in a Northland house fire Tuesday night.
Kansas City firefighters were called out to the blaze in the 3900 block of NE 51st Terrace just after 8:30 p.m.
While crews initially thought the house was vacant, they found a man in the backyard and a woman inside.
According to the Kansas City Fire Department, the woman was trapped inside a back bedroom when the flames broke out. The man -- a 55-year-old delivery driver who saw the flames while passing by -- tried to rescue her but was overcome with smoke. He is in serious but stable condition.
Firefighters were able to get the woman out of the home, but she was pronounced dead at a local hospital. She was in her 40s.
Fire officials said the home had no working smoke detectors.

"He found him in a desert region, in an empty howling waste. He engirded him, watched over him, guarded him as the apple of His eye."
Parshat Ha'azinu depicts the past, present, and future relationship between the Jewish people and God. It begins discussing the love that He continues to bestow upon the nation. On blind faith, the people followed Moses into the desert where HaShem then cared for them, protected them and loved them like the "apple" of his eye.
The sages explain that just as the eyelid shields the eye from even the smallest particle of dirt, so too God defends us.
The parsha then concludes with the beautiful song of Moses before his death, a final request of him by God: "Now, write for you this song, and teach it to the children of Israel…" (Music signifies profound expression and sincere happiness from within the soul.) "Place it into their mouths, so that this song will be for Me as a witness to the children of Israel." The Jewish nation will sing and be reminded He is their guardian.
This Shabbat, be aware of the absolute love God has for each of us and, while sipping this seasonal apple cider, be reminded not only of the joyous song of protecion "place[d] in our mouths," but also that we are the "apple" of His eye. Shabbat Shalom! @themodernpalette
- 8 apples, cleaned and cut
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- sliced apples
- cinnamon sticks
- red wine, optional
- In a large pot, mix chopped apples with enough water to cover the apples. Heat over low flame.
- Add sugar and spices and boil on a high flame.
- Once boiling, lower the flame and let the mixture sit for at least one hour.
- Carefully remove the apples and either with a blender or even a fork mash the apples.
- Add the apples back to the liquid and let cool.
- Once cool, strain the liquid until you get every last drop. It's that good! You'll thank me.
- Reheat in a large pot. I boil mine before Shabbat and keep it next to my soup. It's great to serve with your Friday night dessert!
- Add a splash of red wine (optional) and garnish with apple slices and cinnamon.

As part of the Northern Ireland Executive's 2011-15 Programme for Government (PfG) Invest NI has been working to deliver five economic priorities.
Due to the decision to move the NI Assembly Elections to 2016 there has been a one-year extension to the current PfG. For this interim year, until the next PfG is published, we have agreed the following targets with the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Investment.
We continue to operate within a challenging public sector finance environment with strong competition for decreasing resources. The targets above have been set on the basis of access to the necessary resources to deliver these outturns and maximise Invest NI's contribution to the local economy.
Stimulating innovation and creativity across the business base, improving productivity and driving export focused business growth remain critical to our success in achieving these objectives.
We will continue to utilise the full range of support solutions available and focus on the sectors and markets where Northern Ireland has existing strong capabilities and those with the greatest potential for international growth.
We will continue to showcase Northern Ireland globally as an excellent location to visit, work, invest and do business. Our focus will be to pursue projects in Global Business and Professional Services, Financial Services, ICT, Software and Creative Industries, where the Northern Ireland investment proposition is strong.

The UK has successfully processed the application of the seventh Syrian refugee to be accepted into the country, as Maysaa Al Shibli has been resettled in Birmingham.
Asked how Canada has managed to settle over 30,000 refugees in the same time period, a Home Office spokesman said that it is very difficult to check up on references for refugee applicants.
"We only ask for two references – preferably a doctor or an accountant – and often, when we investigate, the house address given no longer exists or the person is dead."
The spokesman continued, "We also ask the refugees questions about the UK to see if they will fit in and it is disappointing how many of them can't name all of the Beatles."

Sales figures in 1949 for both Ford and Mercury broke records. The 1949 Mercury Eight was the first post World War Two design. The Mercury Eight was first introduced in 1939 and lasted until the 1951 model year.
The new design introduced in 1949 would also last through the 1951 model year. The Mercury's new design for 1949 was truly new. The design was so well received that the 1950 Mercury models would see very little changes from the 1949 models.
Some other automobile post war designs were considered little different than the prewar models. The 1949 Mercury was different. Just about everything was changed when compared to the 1948 models. The Lincoln model of that year also came out with a clearly new design. All models of the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lines came out with much more modernized designs in 1949.
Mercury's Place in the Ford Motor Company Line
Mercury was created to be positioned between the Fords and the Lincolns. The price gap between the highest priced Ford model and the lowest priced Lincoln model was large. The Mercury was meant to fill that large price gap.
The marquee name was introduced in 1938 by Edsel Ford, Henry Ford I's son. The Mercury was also introduced in spite of the fact that Henry Ford didn't believe he needed a new brand.
The 1939 Mercury style was all new and didn't share any paneling with either Ford or Lincoln. In 1938 Mercury was set up as an entirely separate company as was Lincoln. This however changed in 1945 when the two were merged into Lincoln-Mercury. An interesting note is that the Mercury brand was an all new creation as opposed to the Lincoln brand which was acquired by Ford in 1922.
The Mercury was considered, at least by Ford Motor Company, an entry level luxury vehicle. Ford's goal was to have car buyers perceive the Mercury as a lower priced Lincoln rather than a higher priced Ford.
The price of the new 1949 Mercury ranged between $1,950 to $2,500. As a comparison, the 1949 Ford V-8 price averaged between $1,500 and $2,000. The 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan was priced around $4,000. You can easily see how the Mercury pricing filled a large void.
The Bathtub Generation
The 1949 Mercury shown in this article was the first of the 'bathtub" generation. The bathtub moniker was a result of the 1949's bulbous style. The photo of the trunk area in this article is a good example of this. The 1949 Mercury model came in a 2 and 4 door sedan, a convertible and a wagon.
1949 Mercury Specs
The 1949 Mercury came with a flat head V-8 engine. Specs were 255.4 cid with 110-112 HP. The wheelbase was 118.0 inches and the car's length was 207 inches.The 1949 Mercury's weight averaged 3,321 to 3,800 pounds.
Production figures for the 1949 model year sedan were 156,000. Coupe figures were 120,000 and the Mercury convertible about 17,000.
As a comparison, the 1948 model year sedan production totaled about 41,000 units. About 17,000 coupes were built and about 7,500 convertibles. It should be noted that the 1949 Mercury model came out in April of 1948 which adversely effected the 1948 figures.
Two additional AutoMuseumOnline photo articles you'll enjoy are the 1953 Kaiser Dragon and the 1951 Hudson Hornet.
The Lead Sled
Some automobile models are turned into hot rods and others into "Lead Sleds." In a large way, the lead sled is also a hot rod of a somewhat different sort. Lead sleds are considered to be modified full size American cars usually from the 1950's.
The 1949 Mercury is included in that category. The full size lead sled typically has the suspension altered and rides quite low. The word "lead" came from the fact that in modification lead was used as a body filler. This was prior to the introduction of "bondo." Bondo was introduced by 3M as a two part putty. The lead filler was used after the side moldings such as the door handles of the automobile to be modified were shaved off. The roof line was also lowered and the paint customized. The lead sled hot rod might have bright paint showing flames.
A Great Collector's Car
The entire 1949 through 1951 Mercury Eight models are popular collector's cars which hold their value well. The most popular model is the 1949 wagon.

I've been missing in action again, but I'll be back once everything's settled.
So far, the new year has been alright for me, no drama yet, but I wont know how long that will last. Tomorrow/ later is back to college day, and though im dreading it, i do feel a slight push and urge to study for my finals already ( its in May/June but preparations must be made early!) its a good thing.
There have been quite a few changes in my life lately, and also there's goals to be made for this new year, and more stuff to do, which I will blog about soon enough. I also have yet to wrap up 2014..
But yes, that's a slight update for now, and I wish everyone all the best in everything and a good start to this brand new year!

The noted British economist Anthony B. Atkinson, who made seminal contributions to the academic understanding of inequality, passed away on New Year's day, 2017. He was 72.
Thomas Piketty might be a more famous name in inequality studies today but by the time his magnum opus, Capital in the Twenty-First Century was published in 2014, Atkinson had already clocked over 40 years of research on issues of distribution of wealth, income and property. At the time of his death, he was a senior research fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford and Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics. He has also taught at the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Essex and University of Oxford. He was educated at Cambridge and MIT.
Following the tradition of Simon Kuznets, who famously came up with the first year-by-year account of income distribution in the USA in 1953, Atkinson along with Allan Harrison did the same for Britain between 1910 and 1970 in the now classic book, Distribution of Personal Wealth in Britain. In fact Piketty referred to him as the 'godfather of inequality research' and admitted to being inspired by Atkinson's work. For economics students in almost all universities across the world, the book that Atkinson co-wrote with Joseph Stiglitz in 1980, Lectures on Public Economics, sets the standard in public economics courses. In 1972, he founded the Journal of Public Economics – which is considered to be one of the top economics journals in the world.
Although Atkinson was a theoretical economist of the highest quality, what set him apart from conventional economists wa his in-depth work with data. His research on the distribution of inherited wealth, top income percentiles and intergenerational income mobility extended to countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia. In the last few years of his life, he worked on building a time series of top incomes in countries in Africa. The difficulty of this endeavour will be familiar to anyone who has tried to work with fiscal data, especially in developing countries. He took it upon himself to work with interdisciplinary teams to build databases to facilitate transnational comparisons of wealth and income. This enables us to put a number on the worrying issue of global economic inequality, absolute poverty and exclusion. His ability to derive valuable information from non-survey sources like estate data, wealth tax data and investment income tax data was unparalleled and unfortunately, a very underrated skill in the profession.
Atkinson's prowess was not just in academics – he fulfilled the role of a public intellectual as well. He didn't shy away from making radical suggestions for fiscal policy. He was one of the earliest proponents of guaranteed employment by the state, a guaranteed return on savings and a capital endowment to each citizen as soon as they turned 18, which would be financed by progressive taxes. He was vocal against Reagan-Thatcher economics, which according to him, worsened the problem of inequality since the 1980s that had stabilised after the Second World War following the New Deal and the Beveridge Report.
Empirical studies are not the most glamorous subject in the economics profession with almost no economist who exclusively involves herself or himself in data work ever receiving the Nobel Prize. Perhaps that was the reason Atkinson's passing was not discussed outside academia. It is also possible that at a time when the welfare state is being dismantled across Europe and Asia, Atkinson's proposals (see below) and ideas of taxing the rich to serve the needs of the poor – articulated in his 2015 book Inequality: What Can be Done – are not particularly fashionable. As the pendulum swings away from neoliberal dogma, however, his monumental contributions to the field of public economics and progressive fiscal policy are bound to be remembered.
The 15 Proposals from Tony Atkinson's Inequality – What can be done? (Harvard University Press, 21015)
Proposal 1: The direction of technological change should be an explicit concern of policy-makers, encouraging innovation in a form that increases the employability of workers and emphasises the human dimension of service provision.
Proposal 2: Public policy should aim at a proper balance of power among stakeholders, and to this end should
- (a) introduce an explicitly distributional dimension into competition policy;
- (b) ensure a legal framework that allows trade unions to represent workers on level terms; and
- (c) establish, where it does not already exist, a Social and Economic Council involving the social partners and other nongovernmental bodies.
Proposal 3: The government should adopt an explicit target for preventing and reducing unemployment and underpin this ambition by offering guaranteed public employment at the minimum wage to those who seek it.
Proposal 4: There should be a national pay policy, consisting of two elements: a statutory minimum wage set at a living wage, and a code of practice for pay above the minimum, agreed as part of a "national conversation" involving the Social and Economic Council.
Proposal 5: The government should offer via national savings bonds a guaranteed positive real rate of interest on savings, with a maximum holding per person.
Proposal 6: There should be a capital endowment (minimum inheritance) paid to all at adulthood.
Proposal 7: A public Investment Authority should be created, operating a sovereign wealth fund with the aim of building up the net worth of the state by holding investments in companies and in property.
Proposal 8: We should return to a more progressive rate structure for the personal income tax, with marginal rates of tax increasing by ranges of taxable income, up to a top rate of 65 per cent, accompanied by a broadening of the tax base.
Proposal 9: The government should introduce into the personal income tax an Earned Income Discount, limited to the first band of earnings.
Proposal 10: Receipts of inheritance and gifts inter vivos should be taxed under a progressive lifetime capital receipts tax.
Proposal 11: There should be a proportional, or progressive, property tax based on up-to-date property assessments.
Proposal 12: Child Benefit should be paid for all children at a substantial rate and should be taxed as income.
Proposal 13: A participation income should be introduced at a national level, complementing existing social protection, with the prospect of an EU-wide child basic income.
Proposal 14 (alternative to 13): There should be a renewal of social insurance, raising the level of benefits and extending their coverage.
Proposal 15: Rich countries should raise their target for Official Development Assistance to 1 per cent of Gross National Income.
Alongside these proposals are several possibilities to explore further:
Idea to pursue: a thoroughgoing review of the access of households to the credit market for borrowing not secured on housing.
Idea to pursue: examination of the case for an "income-tax-based" treatment of contributions to private pensions, along the lines of present "privileged" savings schemes, which would bring forward the payment of tax.
Idea to pursue: a re-examination of the case for an annual wealth tax and the prerequisites for its successful introduction.
Idea to pursue: a global tax regime for personal taxpayers, based on total wealth.
Idea to pursue: a minimum tax for corporations

Cleats for Kids Initiative
Cleats for Kids is a Denver Broncos Alumni Association and Charities (DBAA) (DBAC) initiative to ensure that children of all means have the opportunity to experience the wonderful life lessons that football has to offer.
As former professional athletes, we were blessed to play the sport at the highest level, but we all recognize that our earliest years in football were the most formative. That's where we first learned about teamwork, about commitment, about sacrifice and about doing our best for ourselves and for our teammates.
But these early years are also the time at which young parents—particularly single-family households with multiple children—struggle to pay the high registration and equipment costs required for youth football.
The Cleats for Kids program will help these families by offering FREE cleats to the athletes in the leagues that we support.
Futures, which started with Denver Public Schools in 2008, is a tackle football program for middle school students in both Denver and Aurora Public Schools. Every high school football program in DPS and APS has a corresponding 'feeder' middle school Futures program coached by the high school football staff. The Futures program is committed to providing opportunities for participants as an extension of academics in a competitive and wholesome environment, while emphasizing the importance of life skills, team work, character, and work ethic through the bridge from athletics to academics.
Futures Football helps the Denver and Aurora High School football coaches develop strong relationships with their student-athletes before high school. The program, which takes place every spring, is designed to help student athletes improve both athletically and academically through an intense practice and game schedule along with character development education.
Each team, made up of 35 student athletes, also participate in a five-week character development course led by local non-profit Project PAVE. Through innovative intervention and prevention education programming, Project PAVE instructors designed the 'True Man' curriculum specifically for middle school football players that focused on team values, healthy relationships, character development, positive conflict resolution and other relevant topics.
Since the program's inception, DPS, APS, and the Broncos have seen dramatic improvements in the athletic and academic performance of the students participating, including a number of graduates playing football at the collegiate level.

Night Court: Haws drops 48; ASU, OSU break slumps, Oregon doesn't
BYU and Portland go to three overtimes, Ohio State and Arizona State break out of their slumps, while Oregon continues to struggle.
Here's everything you need to know from college basketball's Thursday …
Game of the day: Tyler Haws drops 48 points, but BYU falls to Portland in triple overtime.
Didn't expect to be leading Night Court with this game, but three overtimes and a player nearly scoring 50 points lends itself to some headlines. It was back and forth in regulation, but Portland looked ready to wrap the game up in the first time. Then BYU went on an 8-1 run in 12 seconds to tie it up. The second overtime was the other way around, as BYU got up early before Portland went on a 10-3 run to tie it up. Nothing fell down the stretch of the third overtime for BYU, though, as Portland pulled out a 114-110 win. Haws was the big performer of the day, finishing with 48 points on 17-for-34 shooting. He was on the court for 50 minutes, yet didn't pick up a foul until the third overtime (he also didn't register a single assist). Thomas Van Der Mars and Bobby Sharp each had 27 for Portland, which has now knocked off Gonzaga and BYU in the last two weeks.
What else we'll be talking about in the morning: Ohio State snapped its four-game losing streak with a win over Illinois – who extended its own losing streak to five games.
It wasn't a pretty game by any stretch, with both teams shooting below than 42 percent from the field – but Ohio State made enough plays down the stretch to pull out a 62-55 win. LaQuinton Ross was the top scorer for the Buckeyes, finishing with 18 points, while Lenzelle Smith broke out of his slump with 16 points. Joseph Bertrand paced Illinois with 19 points.
For Illinois, the big story was the continued struggles of leading scorer Rayvonte Rice. He was 0-for-8 on Thursday, bringing his four-game shooting totals to 10-for-43 shooting and 7.8 points per game. The Fighting Illini simply don't have enough scoring to overcome a poor game from Rice. They now head on the road to Indiana, before back-to-back home games against Iowa and Wisconsin. Could this losing streak extend to eight games?
That's a good win: Arizona State gets must-win victory over Utah, 79-75.
After getting blown out in back-to-back games by UCLA and Arizona, the Sun Devils couldn't afford to drop to 2-4 in the Pac-12. And Jahii Carson made sure that didn't happen, finishing with 23 points and eight rebounds, consistently getting into the lane and finishing at the rim. Jordan Bachynski also had 11 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Wright and Jordan Loveridge had uneven efforts, but both finished in double-figures, as did Dallin Bachynski (yes, Jordan's brother), who had 16 points and six rebounds.
Arizona State now gets Colorado at home before heading on the road to face California and Stanford. Meanwhile, Utah has its next two on the road: at Arizona and at Colorado. The Utes could be headed for a troublesome 3-6 in the Pac-12.
But that's a bad loss: Oregon has now dropped five in a row after falling at Washington.
It was only three weeks ago when Oregon was 13-0 and one of the most entertaining teams in the country. Now, the Ducks are 1-5 in the Pac-12 and have dropped five games in a row. The latest setback was at Washington, which is now 4-3 in the league. Once again, it was Oregon's defense that struggled. Washington shot 58 percent from the field, 58 percent from 3-point land, and got 23 points from C.J. Wilcox. Oregon absolutely needs to bounce back with a road win at Washington State, and then it returns home for UCLA and USC. The Ducks need to turn it around quickly.
Players with impact
- Line of the night: 36 points, eight rebound, 20-for-20 from the free-throw line. That's what Eastern Washington's Tyler Harvey did on Thursday.
- Thirty-one points and seven 3-pointers for Jeffery Moss to lead Murray State to a win over Tennessee Tech.
- Sean Obi had a monster stat line against Marshall despite Rice's loss, finishing with 22 points and 17 rebounds, while shooting 11-for-13 from the field.
- A couple of other big-time performances on losing teams: St. Francis (Pa.)'s Earl Brown had 30 points and eight rebounds, while Tennessee State's Patrick Miller dropped 33 points.
Numbers to figure
11-4: That's Thad Matta's record against his former assistant coaches after beating John Groce on Thursday.
84: That's how games Rayvonte Rice has played in college.
0: That's how many times Rayvonte Rice had been held scoreless before Thursday night.
Other outcomes of note:
- 19-0. That's Arizona's record as it cruised past Colorado in an easier-than-indicated 12-point win. The Wildcats jumped out to an early 18-4 lead and never looked back, getting 18 points from Nick Johnson.
- That's now 10 wins in a row for Florida. The Gators only shot 37.7 percent from the field, but they went into Alabama and came out with a road win, 68-62. Michael Frazier II had 18 points and five 3-pointers.
- St. John's picked up its first Big East win of the season on Thursday, holding on to beat Seton Hall by one. The Red Storm blew a 17-point second half lead, and needed Sir'Dominic Pointer to make a huge defensive play in the final seconds to hang on.
- UCLA made it look easy against Stanford on Thursday night, turning 19 turnovers into 22 points en route to a 91-74 win. Tony Parker was the surprise for the Bruins, finishing with 22 points and seven boards. Kyle Anderson had 13 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.
- Shaq Goodwin had 20 points and six rebounds to lead Memphis to an 82-59 win over Houston.
- Cincinnati has won 11 in a row since a two-game losing streak back in December. The Bearcats overcame a slow start to beat UCF, 69-51. Sean Kilpatrick had another 19 points.
- Gonzaga continues to lead the WCC despite not looking like it has hit its peak yet. The Bulldogs escaped against San Diego, 59-56, as Sam Dower finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Johnny Dee had 26 for the Toreros.
- Georgia State's R.J. Hunter won the showdown with Louisiana-Lafayette's Elfrid Payton, outscoring him 33-21. GSU also got the win to move to 6-0 in the Sun Belt, the Panthers' 10th in a row.
- Louisiana Tech bounced back from its loss to Southern Miss with a 20-point win over Charlotte. Alex Hamilton had 22 points.
- CHAOS. Former VCU assistant Will Wade has Chattanooga at 7-0 in the Southern after smoking preseason favorite Elon, 84-63. Z. Mason had 27 points and 11 boards.
- Mercer took first place in the Atlantic Sun on Thursday, beating Florida Gulf Coast by 13 and moving to 7-1.
- Northern Colorado looked to take control of the Big Sky, easily beating Northern Arizona by 15. Quinton Upshur had 32 points in a losing effort for NAU.
- That's 14 wins in a row for Stephen F. Austin, which moved to 6-0 in the Southland after winning at Oral Roberts. Head coach Danny Kaspar has moved on to Texas State, but the story is the same at SFA under Brad Underwood.
-- The USBWA selected 23 players for its Oscar Robertson Trophy midseason watch list.
-- Syracuse has all the pieces to cut down the nets, but the Orange aren't perfect. What are the keys to beating them? We asked a handful of opposing coaches.
-- More injuries for Michigan State: starting forward Branden Dawson is out four-to-five weeks with a broken bone in his right hand.
-- Minnesota leading scorer Andre Hollins could miss at least a week with a sprained ankle.

Quick Robin, to the Revision Cave!
When it's time to tackle a revision, major or minor, a sidekick (or the whole Justice League) sure would come in handy. But the mission to clean up a manuscript is often one you must tackle alone. It can be daunting, and leave you feeling much like the Dark Knight himself (the brooding Christian Bale version with the hangover voice, not the campy BAM! KAPOW! one). It's a necessary part of the process. Writing IS revising/rewriting. You've got to send that manuscript out into the world, and if you don't tear it down and rebuild it before you let it go, your readers are going to let you know that your efforts were...less than heroic.
While you'll likely be fighting the good fight on your own, you will have allies. Beta readers can be your Commissioner Gordon. You editor can be your Oracle. They'll feed you the clues you need to solve the problems in your manuscript. You may not always like what they have to say, but it's better coming from them than from some Rogues Gallery critic who'll be more than happy to pounce on whatever story weakness you failed to address.
Every writer may spend their time in the Revision Cave a little differently than the next. There's no right or wrong way, just so long as the job gets done. Here's how it typically goes down in my lair:
Draft 1 - This is almost like a training session. I take all the techniques I've learned over the years and use them to get the story down on paper. I know things will have to be refined and improved which is why no one sees this draft. It's just for me.
Draft 2 - I fix the most obvious flaws. I'm not just talking about typos or wordiness, but I make a pass at things I think the Beta Readers and my editor will likely ding me on. Character consistency. Motivation. Believability. In other words, I try to anticipate what a reader will see as a problem area, and fix it before they call me out. Interesting note here: I'm almost always wrong. Most often, the things I think are working aren't, and the things I'm skeptical about, the Betas/Editor love. Go figure. This is the first draft anyone other than me sees.
Draft 3 - This tends to be the toughest time in the cave. I've received feedback from my allies (who might feel like villains, if only for a little while). This is where I stitch up all the wounds (where's Alfred when you need him?) and get ready to go back into battle stronger than ever. EVERY PAGE GETS TOUCHED HERE. I don't necessarily start from scratch, but I will make adjustments in everything I've written based on the feedback I received. This can mean slight dialogue tweaks, or the addition/subtraction of entire scenes. It's imperative that everything gets reviewed, then adjusted, because every change creates a ripple that resonates throughout the manuscript. It's not uncommon for me to have two copies of a manuscript on my screen at once. Draft 2, which is marked up with track changes, colored highlights, and comment bubbles. And a work-in-progress Draft 3 which I expand page by page as I address each draft 2 issue in sequence. When I have a completed digital copy of Draft 3, I print it, then go through and mark additional adjustments in red pen. Finally, I key any red pen changes into my digital copy before returning this updated draft to the Betas/Editor for more feedback.
Draft 4 - By this point, most major concerns have been addressed. There may be more changes, but the scope will usually be reduced. This mission is almost complete.
Draft 5 - If we're lucky, there's no last minute twist that puts us in cliffhanger mode (will the manuscript survive?!). Minor tweaks at most.
I won't tell you that I've never had to do more than 5 drafts of something. It's rare, though. Does a 5th draft mean perfection? Hardly. But you could do 100 drafts and never achieve that lofty goal. You're not supposed to LIVE in the Revision Cave. It just where you keep your gear, where you train, where you do the research. The true mission takes place in the outside world, where you strive to save the day for readers in peril.
Good luck out there. See you next time, folks. Same Revision Time, Same Revision Channel.
Just try not to end up in Arkham in the meantime

Love the Batman references!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Liz. Decided to let my comic geek roots show. :)ReplyDelete
I'm in revision hell right now with one of my novels. I rushed through the first draft, and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever written...BUT it needs so much work in terms of research, exposition, and new material that needs to be added that I feel like just giving up on it.ReplyDelete
Nigel, don't give up. I'm working on the 3rd draft of a new novel right now. It's ridiculously hard, but what worth doing isn't? Keep it at it, a little at a time, and it'll be done eventually.ReplyDelete
Our processes sound similar--and I'm on that dreaded 3rd draft right now! I would feel better about it if I were in the Batmobile. Thanks for a great post!ReplyDelete

Sia was joined by her husband Erik Anders Lang and chatted it up with fellow celebrity guests like Ryan Seacrest, Miley Cyrus and more.
Sia also changed into a colorful silk ensemble to attend Elton John's Oscar party where she also kept her face uncovered and hung with Heidi Klum.
The "Chandelier" singer has previously said she keeps her face hidden to avoid public criticism and internet haters and because she's "anti-fame" and wants to be a private person. We think she looks great and it's nice to her smiling, happy and enjoying herself!
We wonder if she'll keep covering her face for performances like she did at the Grammys or if she's changing her mind about constantly hiding her mug. Hopefully, it's the latter!

As General Motors' primary contender in the subcompact market, the four-door Aveo sedan competes with other entry-level vehicles, including the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. The hatchback Aveo5 was restyled for 2010, and GM says it is planning to introduce a new Aveo for the 2012 model year.
(Skip to details on the: Aveo5)
New for 2011
There are no significant changes.
The Aveo's design creates the illusion of a larger car, with contoured side feature lines running front to rear, pronounced "shoulders" over the wheel openings and body-colored doorsills. Three-dimensional headlights and bold, round taillamps also add to the car's exterior character.
- Standard 14-inch wheels
- Available 15-inch wheels
- Available fog lamps
- Chrome-accented grille
The Aveo's interior includes a standard 60/40-split folding backseat and a fold-flat front passenger seat that expands the cargo area for longer items. Interior options include imitation wood trim, faux leather seats and a power moonroof.
- Standard OnStar communication system with six months of Directions and Connections service (subscription required afterward)
- Available XM Satellite Radio
- Standard AM/FM stereo with MP3 jack
- Optional air conditioning
Under the Hood
The Aveo is powered by GM's Ecotec 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which was boosted for 2010 to produce 108 horsepower and 105 pounds-feet of torque. Transmissions include a standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic.
- Electronic throttle control
- Standard power rack-and-pinion steering
- Four-speed automatic can hold higher gears to help with traction on slippery surfaces
The Aveo boasts standard front- and side-impact airbags for the front seats. Side curtain airbags are not available.
Chevrolet Aveo5
The Aveo5 is the hatchback version of Chevrolet's value-priced small car. The Aveo5 has a special grille treatment that doesn't look anything like the sedan. The large, rectangular grille dominates the Aveo5's front, and it's split by a body-colored section with the Chevy bowtie logo on it. Front bucket seats and 60/40-split flip-and-fold rear seats offer room for up to five people. All trims feature an Ecotec 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 108 horsepower. All trims come with a standard five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic.
- 14-inch wheels standard
- 15-inch wheels optional
- Two-tone cabin available
- Standard side-impact airbags
- Optional antilock brakes Back to top

Kim Kardashian Visits NYC for Wax Figure Unveiling
Making her way out east, Kim Kardashian was spotted arriving into JFK Airport in New York City on Wednesday (June 30).
Joined by her supportive mother, Kris Jenner, the two lovely ladies headed out of the terminal to an awaiting car - as they made the trip so that Kim can unveil her wax figure at the famed Madame Tussauds in Times Square on Thursday, July 1.
Quite excited about the event, Miss Kardashian told an awaiting paparazzo, "I can't wait to see what 'Kim' looks like!"
During the airport exit, photogs plus brought up Kim's rumored relationship with Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin.
Playing coy, the E! reality stars pretended to be on their cell phones, with Kris smilingly saying, '"I don't know who you're talking about."
On a side note, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kris were recently in Las Vegas to announce plans for a new boutique in The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas called Khaos.
Featuring exclusive and family endorsed products, the shop is set to open later that summer, with Kim saying, "All of us will be here [Khaos] all the instance."

I've been reading a book called "Trust the Process: An Artist's Guide to Letting Go" by Shaun McNiff. Shaun talks about the creative process. Did you know that everyone has creativity within him/her, even if one doesn't think so?
McNiff says our society puts us into boxes, establishes tight boundaries – and we do the same to ourselves. We tend to follow conventional ways. I did this for many years. It held me back from experimenting. Not anymore. Now art helps me blow away boundaries and boxes (sometimes!).
Like many other painters, I started out painting objects, landscapes and living things. Things I literally saw. Seeing another painter's work that grabbed my attention, I would think to myself "I want to paint like them." Doing this only caused a lot of frustration and boredom for me. So big deal, I was painting like them.
More importantly, what did I want to paint that came from inside of me, instead of them? So I started experimenting. What a relief.
This is what I've been doing for the past year or two. Playing around and trying to break free from my own boundaries with my painting. I'm always drawn to abstract and expressionistic images, so when you visit Bond Street Studio during our next Open Studio Tour (June 3 & 4) you can take a peek at what I've been up to. I look forward to meeting you!

While the prime suspects happen to be Pihu (Additi Gupta), Naani (Kunica Lal) and Ratnesh (Sandeep Baswana), the plot is going to thicken in the next few episodes before the revelation happens on 14th March.
TellyBuzz was the first to give our readers news about such an intriguing track opening up, and we now give you the first information on the identity of Padma Chachi.
Our source states, "It's not Pihu, Ratnesh or Naani who dons the mask of Padma Chachi. Instead, it is Abhay (Raunaq Ahuja) who is the mastermind behind all this. The dedicated husband in Abhay has forced him to take this big step. His motive is to separate Rudr and Gauri, so that he can open up a chance for Pihu to get united with the man she loves the most".
The real face behind the mask will be revealed to the viewers on March 14th, when Abhay will remove the mask, thereby showing his face. A small hint to this is already been shown in the scene where Abhay reveals to Pihu that he knows the nuances of draping a sari.
While on one hand, Padma Chachi is enthusing Ram (Vikas Bhalla) to make all the needed arrangements for his marriage with Gauri, Rudr on the other hand senses somebody's hand in creating problems between him and Gauri. He also realizes that Padma Chachi might be responsible for the confusion, and will try his best to know who this lady is.
If sources are to be believed, Rudr will get into a huge confrontation with Abhay once he gets to know of the fact. There is also a possibility of Abhay being bumped off in the climax of this track. All this we hear, will happen on the day of Ram and Gauri's wedding.
We tried contacting Raunaq Ahuja and Binny Sharma, but both were unavailable for comment.
Well, this will indeed be a shocker of a revelation if Abhay turns out to be the black sheep!! Let's now wait for the D-day, i.e. 14th March to know whether this comes true or not!!

What is meant by " the kind hand trembled" at the end of stave 4?Does it have anything to do about the person who cares about the man's death and why?
- print Print
- list Cite
The "kind hand" belongs to the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, which is showing Ebenezer Scrooge the deserted and neglected grave that is fated to be his after showing him the joy with which many people learned of his death. Scrooge, having understood the lessons delivered by the three Spirits, pleads with the Spirit for some assurance that it is not too late to change the course of events and the eventual outcome of his life.
I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope!
Although the Spirit says nothing, the hand appears "to shake" as Scrooge continues to make his case.
Good Spirit...your nature intercedes for me, and pities me. Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me, be an altered life?"
The trembling of the Spirit's hand is affirmation that the Spirit does care about Scrooge's destiny and that his fate can be changed from what the Spirit has shown him if he chooses to change his ways.

Watching the Olympics at home (or if you're lucky enough in Rio De Janeiro this year), means entertainment for many of us. However, the stories behind the champions who compete and defeat odds during the games can do so much more than just entertain. The women in the 2016 Olympics teach us how to overcome obstacles.
Before Syrian refugee Yusra Mardini flexed her swimming legs at the Olympics, she was a star.
Before she became one of ten athletes on the first-ever refugee team, she was valiant. Before she won the 100-meter butterfly on Day 1 of the games, she saved lives.
Mardini overcame obstacles.
What the 2016 Olympics Teaches Us About Overcoming Obstacles
By: Simone Berry
Last August, Mardini and 20 others were stranded on a boat that failed on the way to Lesbos, Greece. Mardini and her sister, Sarah, were two of the only three people on board who knew how to swim. When the boat began to sink, both women jumped into the sea and swam for three and a half hours, pushing a passenger filled boat to shore.
Yes, the 2016 Olympics is entertaining and inspiring, but it is so much more than that.
While you watch the Olympics this year dive into the stories behind the Olympians and get inspired to use your own skills and abilities to do something for the greater good.
Source: The Star
The 2016 Olympics teaches us that no matter how difficult your past, your future can be bright.
One woman's strength can encourage the strength of another. The 2016 Olympics teaches us to overcome obstacles whether they be physical, mental, spiritual, or financial. If an 18-year old can save 20 lives while fleeing for her own, how much more can you do with given the safety, resources, and freedom you have in America?
Mardini's story is one of strength, endurance, and of overcoming obstacles.

A treasure trove of stories for you
to me on my blog
Sorry Duffy earned his own nickname. Sorry apologised to everyone for everything. He said sorry when he accidentally bumped against you while getting off the bus. He said sorry when he tripped over a lazy dog that failed to get out of his way. Sorry always said sorry even when it wasn't his fault.
But, when he found a €500 note on the ground one morning following a stormy Friday night he forgot to say sorry to anyone.
The note was wedged in the corner of a wall where an amateur bricklayer had slapped together his notion of a brick pier for a gate. Lumps of concrete stuck out from the wall like wisps of sand on a storm-tossed beach.
The note was caught on one of them.
As far as Sorry could see it had blown along the road and rested there.
He bent down to catch the note in his hand. He wanted to be sure it wasn't play money stuck there by kids to fool anyone that passed by.
However, Sorry was
a little overweight and his bending movement was not as slick as it should
Sorry thought he might
hide and pretend nobody was there. But he knew she'd look over the
wall at him.
Imelda was waiting for him when he stood up red-faced, but with the €500 in his pocket.
He said: "I was running. I think I need to join a gym. I'm thinking of starting to train for the next marathon. Need to get fit. Do you want something?"
"Did you hear the commotion last night?" she asked. "I nearly died. They came running past here when we were bringing the messages in from Karen's car. The gardaí were after them on those mountain bikes. They're very fast on those bikes and they have very strong legs. Really strong and fit."
"Who were they
"Did they catch them?" he asked.
"No. They ran into our house and out the back and over a wall and the gardaí couldn't get the bikes over the wall and they cycled around but the robbers came back through the house and away down the road. One of them tripped where you tied your laces, Sorry. That's why I asked, if it was you. Just in case it was a robber come back looking for his money. Maybe they were drug dealers"
"Did he drop
the money?" Sorry asked.
"When do you think they'll come back?" he asked. A slight breeze ran down the road behind him wrapping itself around Sorry's shoulders and making him shiver.
"Ah Sorry," said Imelda seeing him shaking on the spot. "There's nothing to be ascared of. They're well gone. I'd said the robbers are in Lanzarotte by now and those gardaí on the bikes will be in bed resting after all the chasing they did last night."
Sorry had the €500
note in his fist now and he dropped it on the ground. He was going to
walk in the opposite direction to wherever it blew.
"Sorry, look what's under your foot. Move your foot until I see."
He moved his foot. The breeze quickened and a forward draught caused by the advancing bulk of Imelda made the note finally take flight.
She saw the money floating away and pointed it out to Sorry who was now expected to catch it.
He trotted after it but it stayed ahead of him. His advances created a breeze that blew it ahead of him.
only thing was to go around it and hunt it back towards Imelda.
The elusive five hundred euro note was finally intercepted by Imelda who put it in her pocket as a squad car came around the corner and slowed to a halt outside her house.
"I'll see ye Sorry," she called out. "I have to tell the gardaí what happened last night. Nothing happened today, alright?"
And before Sorry could say anything she had closed her front door and she and the five hundred euro had vanished.
Sorry was sorry that he hadn't just picked up the money and kept going.
Sometimes being sorry was just not enough.

Now that it has officially warmed up, it's sunscreen time!
We've been told in order to protect our skin from cancer-causing rays we need to slather on sunscreen. But have you ever wondered if the sunscreen itself could be cancer causing?
Oxybenzone found in sunscreens is an endocrine disruptor which can lead to certain types of cancer.
To break it down simply, it is a chemical that messes with our delicate hormone system that when messed with causes a slew of issues with our well-being, reproductive potential, cognitive function, thyroid and metabolism, digestion and hormonal balance. When our hormones are not balanced, we'll break out as well. This is no good.
But the good news is that knowledge is power, and just as you avoid things that don't serve your health, you are now beginning to learn how important clean and green beauty is to maintaining your vitality, clear skin and preventing future health woes.
To make the sunscreen switch easy and a no-brainer, here is what to look for and the top sunscreens brands with fewer hazardous ingredients:
• The best sunscreen is a hat and shirt with no chemicals involved…but when that isn't always possible look for sunscreens with broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection that sit on top of the skin
• Don't be fooled by the higher SPF like 100…that doesn't make them safer, it's still the same chemicals and also tricks us into thinking we don't need to reapply when we're in the sun (both not good)
• Speaking of reapplying, you'll have to do that often with clean sunscreens, but that seems less annoying than getting cancer, right!?
Here are a few of the safest sunscreens according to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database:
• Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Green Tea Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Alba Bontanica Natural Very Emollient Sunblock Fragrance Free SPF 30
• California Baby No Fragrance Sunscreen Stick SPF 30+
• Coola Suncare Face Plant UV Sunscreen Unscented SPF 30 (I use this for my face!)
• Babyganics Cover Up Baby Sunscreen for Face & Body Fragrance Free SPF 50+
I just recently bought this SPF 30 mineral one from Jessica Alba's The Honest Company and am loving it. Look at all the goodness it has:
- Natural, unscented, broad-spectrum (UVA & UVB) 30 SPF mineral sunscreen – everything you need, nothing you don't
- Easy to apply, non-greasy, non-whitening (non-nano!) zinc oxide sunscreen provides safe, effective sun protection for the entire family
- Zinc oxide is the ONLY active sunscreen ingredient – NO harmful chemicals (ever!)
- Yes – it's baby-safe! Safe for use on children under 6 months of age
- Water resistant – tested effective for up to 40 minutes
- Non-Nano • Hypoallergenic • Vegetarian • Non-Whitening • Biodegradable • Reef-Friendly • Water Resistant (40 minutes)
Enjoy the sunshine!

Playing in Banbury High St.
Buckingham carnival The last 'gig' of the year was the Buckingham Christmas Carnival.
Remembrance Day The Band attended the usual two Parades this year at Chipping Norton and Bodicote. Well done to all concerned.
POPPY Presentation In early April Poppy the new Band Minibus had her keys officially handed over by members of Banbury Charities. The Band played a short musical program in celebration and potential new members encouraged to attend an open evening.
Bye Bye DORIS Doris the trusty Band Minibus has been sold. She served us well and we all have fond memories of trips such as Jersey and Bournemouth. Let us hope the new owners have the same reliable service from her that we enjoyed.
RBL OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY CONFERENCE Once again the first performance of the New Year was at the Oxfordshire RBL County Conference in Kidlington. The Staddon Cup winner for this year was Mathew who despite being away at school over the last couple of years has maintained his commitment to the Band even travelling some long distances to be with us. Thanks Mathew and congratulations on an award well deserved. The performance at Kidlington also gave the opportunity to use the new Minibus for the first time. First reports appear very favourable with a possible new name of 'Poppy'.
Banbury St George's day Parade
