Unclutterer links to a great post listing 50 Ways to Unclutter your Blog. There's a lot of good ideas here, starting with the very first one, under the heading of "Unclutter your sidebar":
1. Move archives to their own page. There is no real reason that they need to be on your sidebar. A reader who has decided they want to dig deeper into your blog will be willing to navigate to a separate page. Reduce blog clutter by linking to a 'Monthly Archives' page instead.
Many of these ideas boil down to "get rid of widgets that no one cares about." Content is king: You want your blog readers to focus on what you've spent time and effort to write.
At some point here I'll have to through this list and actually apply some of these ideas. I like the idea of
keeping making things clean and polished so that it's easy to read whatever drivel I come up with.

I found this biscuit barrel at an estate sale. This definition of biscuit barrel from the Collins English Dictionary sums it up pretty concisely: "an airtight container of circular section equipped with a lid and used for storing biscuits." The same source offers this use of the term in a sentence: "She looked with favour at the contents of his biscuit barrel." (Snicker.) I've got quite a few biscuit barrels that I've picked up at estate sales, in cut crystal, oak, and silver-plate. Most of them are in my kids' rooms, where they hold "collections" of all sorts, including glass buttons, miniature Pokemon figures, ribbons, and coins. I bet "she" would not look "with favour" at these contents. About the only thing we don't store in them are biscuits.
Recently my daughter and I treated ourselves to one of the giant biscuits with jam and crème fraiche at Blacksmith:
Biscuits aren't something we indulge in very often, and that big biscuit, with its fluffy interior and craggy exterior was worth the calorie splurge. Inspired by the biscuit barrel and the monster creation at Blacksmith, I thought I'd surprise my daughter by making homemade biscuits for breakfast. I looked at a bunch of recipes, in search of one that would be suitably tender inside and craggy outside. Tips for biscuit success include using well-chilled butter, working quickly to keep the butter from softening, not overworking the dough (to prevent tough biscuits), and baking at 400 degrees or higher (for high-rising biscuits).
The recipe I wound up working from was billed as the "best, fluffy, flakey, buttery biscuits ever." I want to stop here and say that I chose the recipe because the picture with it looked like what I was looking for, and NOT because someone declared these the "best ever." Don't you find it obnoxious when someone declares something the "best ever?" How about just saying your family or your guests loved these, or they disappeared quickly, or you like them best of all the recipes you've ever tried in your whole life? But "best ever?" No.
The same is true for "amazing," one of the most overused words around. How is your coffee? Amazing? Really? A-ma-zing? I noticed a while back that "super" had slipped into our vocabulary, as in "super cute" and "super fun" and "super easy." What does "super" add, other than the impression that you are perhaps 12 years old? And yet, there are apparently some things that even "super" won't adequately describe, and lately I've been seeing "beyond" replacing it, as in "that outfit is beyond cute" or "I am beyond blessed." Like "super," tacking on "beyond" adds nothing, and is best saved for describing that area of the bed and bath store that doesn't neatly fit into either the bed or bath category.
So were these the best, fluffy, flakey, buttery biscuits ever? I have no idea. But I did think they were really good, although perhaps not beyond amazing (wink), and slathered with butter and jam, warm out of the oven, they made a pretty indulgent breakfast. "She" would look with "favour" at these. 🙂
- 2 cups flour
- 3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup salted butter, cut into small pieces
- ⅔ cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Place flour, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar in a food processor and pulse briefly to combine. Add butter and pulse until pea-sized. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the half and half and honey, and stir until a shaggy dough is formed.
- Transfer dough to a lightly-floured surface and knead several times. Pat dough into a circle about ¾" high. Cut out biscuits using a 2" biscuit cutter. Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2" apart. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, until tops are golden brown. In the last minute of baking, brush tops of biscuits with melted butter. Remove to serving platter and serve warm.
A brush with butter is better than a brush with danger
Big ol' biscuits with butter and jam
We used this Hand Rolled Butter, which has been showing up in grocery stores lately (including Kroger). Not sure why hand-rolling is special, but the butter was sweet and creamy had a smoother texture than the sticks we usually buy.

The Internet leader threatened to sue websites that offer download and video music to mp3 downloads from their Youtube platform.
Google, which was once accused of copyright infringement, warned the administration of the website Youtube-MP3.org that it would adopt legal measures against it if it does not stop offering a service that allows you to download music from the Youtube links, Which violates the rules of using the video hosting API.
Lately many apps for android and iOS have come up which let you download music from YouTube. I assume Google will soon target such apps as well. Peggo android app and others are growing over the period of time.
According to the lawyer of the company, said service violates the rules of the utilization of the video hosting API because it allows downloading music without paying the holder of the rights. The service developers, for their part, deny that they violate the rules of use of Youtube.
At the moment Google has banned access to Youtube-MP3.org and has informed similar services that it will proceed in the same way. Google justifies the measure by the numerous complaints of rights holders, which endangers the development of video hosting.

BJ Koubaroulis was writing about high school sports for The Washington Post when he saw "writing on the wall" about the newspaper industry and decided to make a change. He put down his pen – at least for a little bit – and picked up a video camera.
"I got my first camera off of craigslist. Fifty bucks," said Koubaroulis, who ended up doing video pieces on high school sports for The Post. Eventually, he founded Synthesis Multimedia Productions, a private video production and digital strategy company, in Northern Virginia 4-1/2 years ago.
"In this digital day and age, when all of your resources are online to help you start a company and to take those steps. The business model, and starting the business, was not actually as hard," he said.
Synthesis produces mainstream journalism, like broadcasts of high school sports events, but also brings video storytelling techniques to the commercial world. The company has put together wedding videos and police training films for example.

Bringing Disabled People and Businesses Together
We believe that bringing disabled people and business together will change the conversation from one of disadvantage and inequality to one about potential and value.

Changing the Conversation
Changing the conversation is about unleashing the Purple Pound for the benefit of disabled people, their communities and businesses:
- There are more than 12 million disabled people in the UK who have a combined spending power of £249 billion and are fiercely loyal to disabled friendly organisations
- Talented employees with lived experience of disability offer fresh perspectives on the workplace and the consumer market that could help shape new and better products and services
- New technology is driving products and services that increase the choice, control and independence of disabled people
Our Products and Services
Our products and services are about building business confidence and understanding of the disability market, getting disabled people into rewarding careers and providing support services for disabled people with Personal Budgets.
To find out more about the team behind Purple, visit who we are and discover what we do.

With that IV Play album around the corner, The-Dream hooks up with one of the veterans of the mixtape game in Mick Boogie for a career retrospective, of sorts.
It's a 50-minute, 14-track mix with arguably some of the best tracks from The-Dream's previously-released albums, and there are unquestionably some gems on here for those uninitiated with his material. If you're someone in that group, you're not quite the R&B fan you think you are, and hence you need to rectify that immediately-enjoy the mixtape stream below, and get accquainted with some of the highlights from The-Dream's superb back catalogue.


text: I spilled boiling water on my sweet S on Thursday giving him 3 second degree burn spots about the size of a baseball on his neck and shoulder. He was in so much pain and I can't forgive myself. Please pray or send good thoughts that he heals quickly and doesn't scar too badly. S is AA and the marks are very dramatic right now and he starts summer school in 2 weeks. Even bug bits take forever to heal with him so any prayers would be very apprieciated.

Every trip leader and experienced paddler should carry a knife. Lines and ropes can become easily tangled in strong currents (especially where tree branches are involved!) and from there it's only a short step to someone being dragged under or trapped. We recommend either the Folding Knife from Typhoon or this Safety Lock Knife from Whitby. Both are easy to open with one hand, have a locking blade and basic rescue features and at such a low price, there's no reason not to carry one!
We've also got a folding saw from Whitby, for dealing with pesky branches and logs and there are some good rescue knives and tools in the relevent section of Tools and Lighting the Outdoor Gear Portal.

cute as an awareness gimmick, but from a strategy pov i don't think money are the solution for aboloishing the death penalty.
So you save the hangman by untieing the rope... and then you eat him? Now that's cruel :) At least you can do 'fun' stuff with the rope...

I love Valentine's Day. I adore adoring others. Now that I'm a mom it's even more fun to adore the little people that I nourish and chase through the kitchen. This sweet treat was a huge hit with my 3 kidlets. I've also got a crazy sweet tooth lately with Number 4 on the way. But I'm guaranteed to make this after my sweet baby has made his debut.
Honesty Moment: This is actually just banana ice cream. To make it look like soft serve, I just put it into a quart-sized plastic baggie and trimmed off a triangle on the corner. I then squeezed it into the serving cups just like a soft serve machine. Did my kids completely love it. Yes. Was it completely easy. Yes.
Indulge in this fast, fruit-based dessert with your favorite peeps.
- 1 Frozen Banana, broken in a few pieces
- 1 Cup Frozen Dark Cherries or Mixed Frozen Berries
- 2 Tablespoons Dark Chocolate, Chopped
- 1/4 Cup Dark Chocolate Sauce
- Blend frozen banana and frozen fruit in a food processor for a few minutes. As the pieces get smaller, turn off and scrape down the sides a few times. It's ready to serve when the fruit has become uniformly creamy.
- Place half of the ice cream into a quart sized plastic baggy. Trim off a triangle in one of the corners of the bag and squeeze into your serving dish. Repeat with the rest of the ice cream.
- Serve immediately with dark chocolate pieces and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Recipe for the Chocolate Sauce is right over here.

This year's Junk to Funk proved to be just as funky as the last, with hundreds coming together to view the latest unique costumes.
The event was held on Saturday night at Whyalla High School, and saw outfits made from various forms of junk, including 3D glasses, magazines, printer cartridges, bread bags and much more.
As a result of the competition, around $12,000 was raised for the Whyalla Special Education Centre.
Three competitions were held, the first being Trash 2 Fash, which focused on garments that reflect the qualities of youth; their state of mind, imagination, courage and appetite for adventure.
Veteran Emily Gloede won this competition with a papier mâché dress made by connecting two hoops of a crab net with strips of woven plastic from chicken feed bags. The dress was modeled by Hannah Gloede.
The next competition was Funkiest Junk, which saw creators tasked with making a garment inspired by people, places and things.
Fifth-year contestant Kirsty Connor took our first place with a Game of Thrones-inspired costume made from over 2000 3D lenses from glasses donated from the Whyalla Cinema. Jo McIntosh was the model.
Lastly local artist Helen Burt won the Ga Ga Garbage, a category that aims to showcase outrageous, theatrical and unique garments.
Her outfit, modeled by Sandra Jasper, was inspired by a Sparking Rose Wine. The team combined bubble wrap with elastic, straws, and newspaper wrapping to create the skirt.
The People's Choice award went to Dana Traum for her green lily pad dress made out of plastic shopping bags, cardboard, and newspaper.
Committee member Tricia Gerahty said the quality of the designs had surpassed previous years.
"We're always astonished by that because they always outdo themselves each year. Some of these creators are incredibly dedicated to this event which is fantastic," she said.
"The quality of the venue really helped us a lot, the Whyalla High School students did the catering. It was very good to work with the high school to do that.
"There was some fantastic feedback about the quality of the food and how the students helped out on the night."
Ms Gerahty thanked both the event sponsors and local businesses for making significant contributions to the fundraiser. Photos: PG 8

Karla, one of my favorite makeup artists (from Chanel at Neiman Marcus Houston) introduced me to their new spring pallets Sunday. Eclosion beats Mystic Eyes hands down with it's peach and pale eggplant shadows to add a little more pop to basic neutrals.
Otherwise I picked up a standard lipstick for some moisture….my lips have been a little dry lately.
Coco Shine sticks are great for everyday wear.
As for the gloss, I decided against it because I wore Twinkle for so many years in CA.
Not pictured is the Chanel blush I got. I didn't want to sway your pick should you be on the market. I love all the colors!!
Well, the train seems like it's finally over so I have to drive now. Off to teach spin!!Tweet this!

text: I was wondering if I'm just having bad luck or if the Blockbuster Blu Rays are generally scratched. Nearly half(or more) that I get have numerous areas that freeze/skip. We couldn't get the first "The Help" to even load in our player but it would play with numerous long skipped areas in a PS3 and another player. They shipped us a second one and this one would play but still had bad areas(MUCH better than the 1st one). The first one had a lot of scratches and the 2nd one just a few. I did inspect it before playing to be sure it wasn't our DVD player causing the scratches. BTW, cleaning hasn't helped in any case. Is this a common issue? Thanks. Craig T

Want to make a sweet profit for just a small investment? Buy specialty items from Guild Wars 2 Living World events.
Just to give you an example, the vendor for the toxic recipes is gone from Kessex Hills, today. Yesterday, those recipes were going for about their selling price – the price of 250 pristine toxic spores and 1 gold. Today, they've all at least doubled that price on the trading post. This happens over and over, again, with event items: Whether they're recipes or minis of skins, they almost always go up significantly in value after the event is over.
This tends to hold true with even low-value items, such as the Giver and Celestial recipes you could get from gifts. They were extremely common during Wintersday and sold for about 3 copper – today, they're selling for about 50 copper. That's a hell of a return.
Usually, special event items go up in value a lot after the event is over. Don't go bankrupt buying this stuff, but invest in some of it. It's very likely to be worth your while.
Just a small uptick in my gold, today, but I have lots of stuff on the trading post. It's all listed at a reasonable price and I have every confidence it will eventually sell.


text: LOL! I just have to share a few of difficult child's latest assumptions... Despite our recent economic woes, I overheard difficult child talking about all the things she is going to have for her "Sweet Sixteen". Ummm....come again??? And then after hearing her explain how her brother is going to be among those not invited, I finally had to ask her just what kind of "Sweet Sixteen" party she thinks she is going to get? (Her response was to mutter something about maybe not hiring all the folks she originally hoped.) And husband has had it up to here with her attitude and the fact that she seems to be spending the summer in front of the tv....and anything he has asked her to help with has been done half-axxed. Last night, husband made a comment about how difficult child will be moving out when she turns 18. difficult child agreed--explaining that when she turns 18 she will be traveling the world. Then she went on to explain that even though she will not be staying here....she is going to keep all of her stuff here. O yeah, right...!!!

Fat Joe Connects With the West
June 22, 2016
|In Music
Summer '16 is going All the way UP!
The West coast is the best coast. We know this, and apparently so do Fat Joe and Remy Ma. After much success with their "All The Way Up" record the Terror Squad members decided to add some West coast vibes to their gritty East coast track, recruiting OG Snoop Dogg, E-40 and The Game for the remix. Now the East and West coast have new collab anthem. Listen below.

Marilyn Monroe is known for many things, but the night that made her truly memorable was the one in which she sang "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy. On that legendary evening, she wore a beautiful seamless crystal studded dress that will be put under the hammer at Julien's auctions this fall. Created by Jean Louis, this attire flaunts more than 2,500 crystals that were stitched onto its surface entirely by hand.
Before the event, the attire had to be sown onto Marilyn's body in order to make sure that it would be as tight as possible. Before the actual sale, the dress will tour around the world and will be showed off at the MANA Contemporary in New Jersey as part of an exhibition named "Marilyn: Character Not Image." The auction will take place on November 17, and it will last for three days.

I'm convinced - this definitely seems like a very good reason to have inactive committers following an incubated project through to either TLP stage, or into another TLP, but not being on the PMC. I'd be less convinced on a project that wasn't previously open so that there was no way to know if committers had previously contributed; but for open source projects who join the incubator this is a great point. In fact you've helped me resolve a direction on my general problem in this area at Jakarta where we have a huge number of inactive committers (300) and PMC members (40) - inactive committers good, inactive PMC members bad.

"Of course he was sworn in," a leader of a Nazi-allied group tells the Forward.
A former leader of the ultranationalist Jobbik party in Hungary was sent out of Canada prior to a speaking engagement in Montreal.
Despite recent electoral gains by Ukraine's far right, extremists will not "highjack government priorities" on encouraging Ukrainian Jewish life, Ukraine's premier reportedly said.
Young Polish nationalists and anti-Semitic extreme rightists called for the overthrow of Poland's government at the republic's Independence Day march.

Carlene and Earl Shoafstall
"They took care of everything!"
"This was the fourth house we've sold through Next Generation Realty."
When Earl Shoafstall finds something that works, he sticks with it. That's why he turned to Next Generation Realty several years ago to sell a home, and why he still does.
"This was the fourth house we've sold through Next Generation Realty," Earl relates. "The first experience was great, and the second experience was just as good as the first. When you have that kind of experience, you don't hesitate to do a third time, or a fourth or a fifth."
"There were three things we enjoyed about selling our home through Next Generation Realty," Earl adds, "showing the home ourselves, the way they took care of us, and the money we saved."
Carlene believes that homeowners can do a better job selling their homes than anyone else. "I can sell my home because I like my home. I enjoy meeting with people and talking with them about my home. Next Generation Realty gave me the opportunity to do that."
Next Generation Realty took care of almost everything for the Shoafstalls; the advertising, the negotiations, the closing and the paperwork. "So really, we, the customer, had to do very little." Earl says. "In the past we'd had problems with the way other companies handled all that, but not with Next Generation Realty."
Thanks to Next Generation Realty's flat-fee commission structure, the couple saved quite a bit of money. "I can't imagine anyone else going through any other real estate company when you can save that kind of money!" Carlene says. "We've been very happy with Next Generation Realty. Frankly, I'm amazed why anyone would want to go anywhere else."
Adds Earl: "With Next Generation Realty, the customer is always Number One. In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much, I went to work for them!"
Des Moines is located in the heart of Iowa. The city is the political, economic, and cultural capital of the state and provides many advantages of both large and small-town living.
Next Generation Realty is your Flat Fee Broker, which means the Seller pays a flat fee of $3,990 on any home offered for sale below $140,000. For properties listed between $140,000 and $300,000, the fee is $5,990 and homes listed $300,000 and above pay a flat fee of $7,990. Buyers pay nothing to purchase a home listed with Next Generation Realty, which creates a win/win for both home sellers and buyers: our listings are priced to sell, not overpriced to cover expensive commissions. That's why we like to say we're guarding your real estate equity! To learn more, call us today at 515-224-9900!

Fans of their organic sound have already been pampered with one of the album's lead singles, the provocative synth-embossed gem 'Dirty.' This summer, the three-piece dance outfit turns up the heat with 'Can't Keep Rhythm From a Dancer.' Inside the original version, the band lavishes in a hookfest of Chic-schooled guitar riffs, euphoric synths and Luther Vandross up-tempo soul. When placed neatly against Daft Punk's 'Lucky,' the TS boys prove to be just as hip. And the power of intoxicating rhythms is on full display, coercing Urich to certify them as being the key to success: If you want her heart, that's where you gotta start.

Lead Singer, drummer and songwriter John-Christian Urich, along with his supporting soul brothers Ethan White and Jordan Scannella, are currently gearing up for their highly anticipated third album release, slated to drop later this year.

Why vegetarians might crave meat during pregnancy
Nearly two years ago we stopped eating meat (these lovely cookbooks helped us transition to veg based diet). Almost instantly it made me feel physically better. I had so much more energy! When I got pregnant with my second baby it didn't even cross my mind to include meat in my diet. I just made sure to increase iron and protein intake. Until the day I dreamt of rich and flavourful beef stew… Do vegetarians crave meat during pregnancy?! Or is it just me?
I was very surprised with my sudden obsession with meat. It followed me around for weeks. And no matter what I ate, nothing would fully satisfy me. It's like I had a hole in my stomach. I did what I usually do when I am baffled: I googled. I came across quite a few forums discussing the exact situation I was facing – vegetarian and craving meat in pregnancy. I wasn't alone. Some of the cravings were resolved by extra iron, but most of the discussions seemed to conclude that if meat is what the baby wants than meat he/she will get.
I must add here that we turned veggie not because we find meat in any way revolting. We decided to remove meat from out diet, because of the conditions in which a lot of the animals are bred and slaughtered. And because eating meat is not sustainable, our planet is not able to support the amount of animals human race seems to want to consume. We went veggie cold turkey and never looked back. Not even once have I felt that I fancy a meat dish. Not once have I felt that I am missing out. On the contrary, we started to eat a more varied diet – we've added more than we took away. I was a happy vegetarian.
After reading the forums I felt better. I no longer felt that I was a cheat, that I was crossing the line I shouldn't cross. I had a couple of meat dishes within a week and instantly felt at peace. This mini meat feast made the craving go away for weeks and stopped my obsessive thinking and dreaming about meat. I finally felt at rest.
Having experienced such a strong craving for meat made me think. In theory a plant based diet is healthy in pregnancy. It provides all the necessary nutrients. The official advice is that vegetarianism isn't a fad or a temporary diet, but a way of eating suitable for a lifetime, for young children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, physical labourers and old people. So why this crazy craving? There are so many vegetarian cultures out there, how do they manage?
Having read quite a few online articles and forums I must conclude that:
vegetarian and vegan diets are perfectly healthy and adequate during pregnancy
nobody knows why pregnant women have cravings – regardless if they are vegetarian or not. It's not as simple as 'you are craving X because your body needs it'. Science is yet to find the source of and the reason for cravings.
let them eat meat? – answer to this question is driven by either ideology or emotion, as there is no scientific reason why vegans and vegetarians with balanced diets should eat meat or fish in pregnancy. Some are more sympathetic to the debilitating and all encompassing nature of cravings, while others demand 'stick with it no matter what'.
In the light of my google search there is no answer to 'why vegetarians crave meat during pregnancy?', nor there is one to 'should you revert back to eating meat when pregnant?'. It's all down to how you feel about it. I chose to eat meat (albeit in small quantities) and have a happy pregnancy, rather than battle with demons, while trying to keep my toddler happy and busy. And deal with back pain, painfully loose hip joints and stretching pain in my ever-growing belly.
Are you vegetarian or vegan and faced meat cravings? How did you handle them? If you are an omnivore, did you give in to some strange or unhealthy cravings? Did you manage to overcome them? I'd love to hear from you, so do leave me a comment or contact me via twitter (@mumbalance).

Other literary forms
(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
Although known primarily for his long fiction, the prolific Jorge Amado (uh-MAH-doo) also wrote much nonfiction, including works of journalism and several books. His nonfiction indicates his interests even more obviously than does his fiction, as the translations of the following titles show: Guia das ruas e dos misterios da cidade do Salvador (1945; guide to the streets and mysteries of Salvador), Homens e coisas do Partido Comunista (1946; men and facts of the Communist Party), União Soviética e democracias populares (1951; the Soviet Union and popular democracies), and Bahia boa terra Bahia (1967; Bahia, sweet land Bahia). Also pertinent here are two biographies of Brazilians, ABC de Castro Alves (1941), about a Romantic nineteenth century abolitionist poet known as the poet of the slaves, and Vida de Luíz Carlos Prestes (1942), featuring a twentieth century revolutionary and Marxist hero. Amado's efforts in other genres include a collection of prose poems, A estrada do mar (1938); a play, O amor de Castro Alves (pb. 1947; also known as O amor do soldado); and various film scenarios.

I am new to the TT website here, I am a new golfer of about a year and a half at the young age of 58. My SS with my driver is 85 on average, I currently play G25's not saying anything wrong with them, they are great irons and driver. With that being said I have really been liking the looks of the new AP1's (714) and the 913D2 driver, I usually strike the ball well for the amount of time I have been playing so do you guys think I could game the Titleist irons (AP1) and driver. I just got the mid sized staff bag and love it! Thanks in advance.

Yes -- but please go see a fitter (ideally a Titleist Advanced Fitter if you search this website in the dealer locator), as a custom shaft can make all the difference. Titleist offers many custom shafts for no upcharge, in order to suit different swingspeeds and launch/spin characteristics.
March 1, 2014 at 2:06pm
I have an original set ap1 will update to 714' this year, you will never regret your purchase.
I am 66, if I can do it you can
The originals 2008.

I started older (59) and went through SZ irons and G10's (wrong length, wrong lie, bought "smart" off the net) until I got 712 AP1s. If you work with a fitter that analyzes your swing, it won't be a bad idea to go back and work on a couple of minor swing changes before getting fit. You can also look at driver, long hybrids/woods, and wedges to see if any of these will make a bigger change in your score, in conjunction with your fitter. Unless you've outgrown the G25 setup, AP irons may not change your score as much.
As for small swing changes, I've been working on flexibility and some fatal swing errors, so the G15 driver I was fit for 3 years ago (82-84 mph) became a bad fit so a D2 913 lower loft, stiffer shaft (88-90 mph) is much longer (about 30 yards) than the first driver once all the shots started ballooning and dropping with no roll.
The AP irons are great equipment and if you feel more confident with them, get them. My choice came down to G20 and AP1, and the G20 just didn't fit my eye. Within the quality of my swing at that time, they were equal within tolerance to each other, but both 10-12 yards longer than the G10.
Congratulations on taking up golf (guessing kids are out of college..).

Thanks for the replies guys, as stated I am not an advanced golfer only in my first year and a half. I haven't broken a 100 yet but looking to do so this year sometime. Like I said I am 58 and just love this game, don't get to get on the course like I want but that is going to change also. I do spend a good amount at the local range. My home course is only 5 minutes away here. I game the G25's which I do like but like the looks of the new AP1's better, and just love the looks of the 913D2 driver. I just hope I can hit it with some sucess. I am thinking about taking a day off work and going to GS here in Charlotte,NC and trying out the irons and driver.

I purchased a set of AP1's in March and have played a few times with them and hit them on the range. i highly recommend these clubs and agree about getting fit for them. I got fit at a PGA Superstore in one of the simulators by a Titleist fitter. I wish I could have done it outdoors, but it was better than buying off the shelf, because the specs were definitely different than I would have gotten buying them off the shelf. You will not regret your purchase. Very solid clubs with great ball flight and forgiveness.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the replies, I am still playing the G25's but sometime this year I am going for a fitting for the AP1 714 irons. I like the Pings but I absoutley love the looks of the AP1's. This is something I want to put in my bag for a number of years.

I agree with hitting them straighter. Titleist makes great irons and always has. The new AP1s and AP2s are very forgiving clubs. The reason you are not hitting them as far is probably because of lofts on the clubs. All of TM's lofts are stronger than Titleist. In some cases 2-3 degrees stronger.

The experts worried the shootout might still be going well into March.
The afternoon Presidents' Day match between the Ottawa Senators and the New Jersey Devils had been a game of bobbled pucks, whiffed shots, goal posts, near misses and give-your-head-a-shake plays.
The Senators had gone a stunning 137 minutes 17 seconds without scoring a goal, their offence fizzled to a damp, cold wick since Matt Cooke's skate had sliced into the Achilles tendon of Erik Karlsson.
That injury, suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, had seemingly exposed the Achilles heel of the entire Ottawa team: an inability to score without their young Norris Trophy-winning defenceman and their playmaking centre Jason Spezza, also lost for the season after undergoing back surgery.
With Spezza in the lineup, the Senators had averaged 3.3 goals a game and were doing just fine. Without Spezza, that fell to 2.1 goals a game, usually courtesy of Karlsson's inventive work. Without Karlsson, it hit 0.0 in a shutout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night and seemed a good bet to remain there against the New Jersey Devils on Monday.
The Devils, after all, had scored on their first chance of the game, Stephen Gionta burying a rebound only 1:19 in.
But hell finally froze over 8:12 into the third period when 40-year-old Daniel Alfredsson – who had muffed a similar chance earlier – put a backhand shot behind 40-year-old Martin Brodeur.
Not surprisingly, the game went to shootout when neither team could find a second goal in regular time or overtime. Alfredsson hit yet another post, but Ottawa's Swedish rookie, Jakob Silfverberg, got a shot past Brodeur, giving Ottawa a welcome 2-1 victory in this annus horribilis of an injury-plagued season.
With the win comes two points, maintaining the team's slim hold on a possible playoff spot, at the same time complicating the debate that is consuming those Ottawa voices not screaming with outrage over the expenses of certain senators.
With eight players injured – some $22.6-million (U.S.) in salaries tied up in bandages – Ottawa general manager Bryan Murray has had his own thoughts to entertain, not to mention the opinions of every person, some of them sober, able to push the buttons that will get them onto the sports talk shows.
Murray has one marvellous card to play, though it is uncertain if, or how, he might play that card. For all Ottawa's troubles on the ice, they are blessed in the crease. Starter Craig Anderson, NHL player of the month in January, is arguably the best goaltender in the NHL now. The best goalie in the AHL, without argument, is young Robin Lehner of the Binghamton Senators.
On Monday, head coach Paul MacLean – with a home game scheduled for Tuesday against the New York Islanders – elected to play back-up Ben Bishop instead of Anderson. Bishop was often spectacular in winning his first game of the year.
Anderson is 31, Bishop 26, Lehner 21. Murray could, theoretically, find a buyer for Bishop, who also played well in a 1-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and might be able to get in return an offensive top-six forward to sort-of replace Spezza, or a playmaking defenceman to sort-of replace Karlsson. There would, however, be no total replacement and, perhaps, what would be the point?
Murray could easily find a Stanley Cup contender eager to take on Anderson in return for prospects or future draft choices, which would be attractive. But Anderson has two years left on his contract and, just maybe, he's exactly who the Senators would want back there once Karlsson and Spezza return and next season is a new start.
Though it is not in the nature of Murray or MacLean to do so, there has also been free advice offered that the team might embrace its scoring spiral – "When you're cold, you're cold," centre Zack Smith conceded in a between-period interview – and trust in the lottery giving them a pick of major potential in what is going to be a good draft year.
If the Senators were going to shrug and let it all slip away, then other choices might come into play, including the Ottawa sacrilege of dispatching Alfredsson off to see if he might lift the Stanley Cup before he raises the issue of retirement.
Hockey has a long history of such arrangements – Boston Bruins captain Raymond Bourque to the Colorado Avalanche in 2000 – and no one doubts that Alfredsson's long-term future lies in Ottawa, where he expects to remain with his family.
"He was very good," MacLean said of his captain following the New Jersey win. He was more than good. And if the Senators are going to shake free of their stunningly bad power play – 0-for-25 since Karlsson went down – it will be with Alfredsson doing the marshalling.
Murray's easiest choice is merely to stay the course.
Last year, when the Senators slipped into the playoffs, it was a surprise. The rebuilding plan was intended to take three years, at least.
Next year will be Year 3.
And with a healthy Karlsson and Spezza back, this shrunken season would be quickly, and appropriately, forgotten.

TORONTO — A day after losing Game 3 in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Barry Trotz said something needs to change if the Washington Capitals are going to come back and win a series that is slipping from their grasp.
But don't expect that change to be significant.
Alex Ovechkin is not going to be stripped of his captaincy. Braden Holtby is not going to get replaced with backup goalie Philipp Grubauer. And most of the forward lines and defensive pairings are expected to remain intact.
If anything, said Trotz, it's a change in mindset that is needed. The Capitals are down 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. But with all three games going to overtime, Trotz said the players have to realize that even the smallest adjustments can swing the series back in their favour.
"There's not going to be a lot of tactical and systematic adjustments," said Trotz. "I think it's more of a little bit of mindset, maybe trying to do one or two things that you see that they're taking away from you. Trying to put that into your favour, if you will.
"There's not going to be anything earth-shattering or anything. I think it's a mindset of getting some players to be in the right spots at the right time."
The Capitals, who had an optional practice on Tuesday, tried to remain upbeat and confident despite going down a familiar path where an eighth-seeded team once again has them on the ropes.
"I think they're fine," Trotz said of his players' psyche. "They're reacting like true pros. They realize that a bounce here, a bounce and the series can be in our favour. But it hasn't gone that way."
While Washington's playoff history leaves much to be desired, Trotz is leaning on the past to try and get the team over the hump.
"We've been in series like this before," said Trotz, referencing Washington's first-round series against the New York Islanders in 2015, which the Capitals won in seven games after being down 2-1. "This is a very same situation. And we got through that series. Sometimes, it's a battle and you have to battle through it … it's all about will.
"Tomorrow should be a fantastic game. You're going to see our best game tomorrow."
One thing Trotz will try to change is the amount of ice time Ovechkin is receiving. The Capitals sniper, who has two goals in the series, played just 15:08 in Game 3 and ranked seventh amongst Washington forwards in even-strength minutes.
For a player of Ovechkin's calibre, it was far too little.
"That's on me," said Trotz, who admitted to getting caught up in the match-up game with Leafs head coach Mike Babcock. "It wasn't based on play. I thought (Ovechkin) was playing terrific. It's on me to get him a little more ice time, no question."
Despite the lack of minutes, Ovechkin scored a goal and finished the game with five shots and four hits.
"It's quality minutes right now," said Trotz. "Sometimes you look at minutes, sometimes they're overstated because you're out there 20 minutes, but they're not quality minutes. His minutes have been hard, quality minutes. I know him and (Leo) Komarov have been going at it … so he's targeted. "
Trotz said that defenceman Karl Alzner, who missed Game 3 with an upper-body injury, will not play in Game 4 tomorrow. With Alzner out, Nate Schmidt is expected to play on a pairing with John Carlson.
It was Schmidt who set up Nicklas Backstrom for the game's first goal on Monday. But it was also Schmidt who accidentally set up Matthews for a goal, when a puck bounced off the defenceman's visor and onto the Toronto forward's stick.
"I thought the game went well. Not the result we wanted, but for me personally, my legs felt good," said Schmidt. "Maybe get my head out of the way on the first one, but things like that will happen."
Turning points can happen in different times of a hockey game, and with different moments.
A hit from Nazem Kadri on Brooks Orpik seemed to change the tone for the Leafs at the end of the first period. Then again, it was shortly after killing off a 5-on-3 power play that the Leafs scored two quick goals to tie the game in the second.
"I haven't watched it yet, but it's still pretty vivid in my mind," Capitals defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk said of the blown two-man advantage. "It's just a matter of capitalizing at that point. We have to just make it count and I think that was a big moment for them. It fed into their momentum, for sure. So we're going to be ready to take advantage of it next game."
For all the firepower in their line-up, it's sometimes easy to forget that the Capitals allowed the fewest goals in the league — something that seems even more unlikely after the Leafs scored 10 goals in three games.
A big reason for Toronto's offensive success has been in the amount of rubber being directed at Holtby. The Leafs outshot the Capitals in each of the last two games.
"They're just throwing a lot of pucks to the net and getting a lot of traffic," said Capitals forward Daniel Winnik. "You've got to give them credit, they're buzzing around our net."

All 14-year-old Julia Bluhm wanted was a handful of fashion spreads completely free of Photoshop in her Seventeen magazine.
Using an online petition drive through Change.org, she asked the magazine's editors to "commit to printing one unaltered — real — photo spread per month." That petition has garnered nearly 70,000 signatures, from women and men.
Throughout the bad publicity, Seventeen's editor-in-chief has played coy about the degree to which photos are retouched in the teen magazine, this even as she met with her young critic.
"I think we do a phenomenal job of celebrating the authenticity of real girls, of celebrating them for all of their real authentic beauty, of skin tones, of ethnicity, of body shape and size," Ann Shoket told The New York Times. "These are young girls. They look great."
Too great, thought Ms. Bluhm, noting that the girls featured had nary a zit, shiny pore or dimple of cellulite on their flesh. Pressed further by the Times about airbrushing, Ms. Shoket demurred, "I don't want to get into the specifics of what we do and don't do."
This week, Ms. Bluhm landed another strong ally among her 68,174 online supporters: DeDe Lahman, a former Seventeen editor who quit the magazine and refreshingly, opened up a bakery.
In a statement issued to The Jane Dough, Ms. Lahman wrote:
"In an ideal world, Julia wouldn't need to request one unaltered photo spread a month, because unaltered photos would already be the norm. However, in the glossy world of magazines, truth and beauty are not always one and the same. I think a reasonable first step for Seventeen to take toward Julia's ultimate goal would be to do a behind-the-scenes piece about how a photo shoot comes together. After all, girls can only run the world if they're privy to its tricks."
Ms. Lahman told Jane Dough writer Amy Tennery that she'd "fought for more realistic images for our readers" while working at Seventeen. She eventually quit to lead speaking tours about "what the magazine did to make our models look perfect and how to decode the misleading advertising."
While a regular, un-retouched spread seems unlikely even for Seventeen (hardly the worst culprit in the industry), the magazine's reticence is proving to be bad PR: "The longer Seventeen refuses to address the Photoshopped images or even take a metaphoric seat at the discussion, the longer their brand will seem publicly indifferent to the well-being of girls," Koa Beck wrote at Mommyish.com.
Ms. Bluhm pointed out the altered images are bad for boys too: "It shows them unrealistic images of girls," she told the Times. "Also, a lot of the boys in Seventeen magazine have, like, 12-packs, and that's definitely not very realistic either."
Would you want more un-retouched photos in your fashion magazine?

Or maybe 2sock, 2furious? Knit socks with a vengeance? No matter what name you give it, it's time for our last clue in the socktober MKAL!
There have been some amazing projects popping up on Ravelry. I'm going to wait until next week to show off my pair on the social medias, to make sure if there are spoilers they aren't coming from me. But I wanna give some shutouts to a few of the awesome projects hitting instagram this week. @lisaperino is making hers out of Interlude yarn in Hep Alien, which is one of my absolute favorite colors right now. I love the way the cables pop on a solid colored yarn.
@lshank017 is using Masquerade Yarn in Sunset over Hogsmead. These socks are so cheerful and sunny that her toes won't even know it's winter!
Last but not least, my sister turned hers into cat ears. Our family is so weird sometimes that I have to wonder how we all made it this far. ;)
