First impressions make or break a deal. Sarah Beeny offers Telegraph readers 10 tips for adding instant impact to your home;
It doesn't work for books, but it does for houses – judging them by their façade I mean. A property's outer appearance, its kerb appeal, is often the deal maker (or breaker) when it comes to buying a home. It takes potential buyers no more than eight seconds to decide whether or not they like a house. During my recent hunt for a new flat I often found that a split second was long enough to write off a property; the flat approached via someone else's gnome-filled backyard, and the one up a fire escape with plaster peeling off the front of the building, for example.
At the other end of the scale, Sarah Beeny, the Property Ladder presenter, and her husband had decided to buy their house before they'd even reached the front door. "We were halfway across the garden and were already saying to each other, 'how do we make this house fit our family?'" she says. "It was May, and there were forget-me-nots everywhere. It was such an unusual plot to find in London."
But imagine if the garden was over run with brambles and there was rubbish blocking the pathway. "First impressions count for a lot," Beeny says. "A bad appearance can do a lot of damage. It doesn't take a great deal of effort to change this though."
Some houses have natural kerb appeal; the wisteria-clad Queen Anne rectory with a tree-lined drive, for example, will attract potential buyers even if it's a little dilapidated. "For the best country houses, the setting is the kerb appeal," says Crispin Holborow of Savills estate agency.
But on the whole, kerb appeal is more than just a good-looking house – even the ugliest house can have it.
"A house with real kerb appeal lifts your spirit – it's a house where the front garden is well-presented, the railing is in perfect condition, the door immaculately painted, perhaps with roses growing over it," says Lindsey Cuthill of Savills.
Unfortunately, improving the kerb appeal of a house is unlikely to add much to its value. "But if you can get someone in a positive frame of mind before they've stepped through the front door it can help sell to it," Beeny says. She has recently set up tepilo.com, a home-selling website, and has been advising vendors how to present their properties. So far, more than 10 properties have sold. "Buyers look for evidence that the house has been well maintained. Any sign that they will need to spend time or money may put them off," she says. Rotten window frames and cracked plasterwork, for example, present an obvious bartering tool.
Improving the appearance of a property doesn't necessarily have to be an expensive project, she says – but there are a few rules. "No DIY is better than bad DIY," she says. "Badly painted front doors with drips running down them or dirty looking houses are a no-no. A lack of cleanliness can be very off-putting."
1. Paint your front door. It sounds simple but this is the first thing that people are going to look at. "Go wild with colour, it's the one place you can," says Sarah Beeny, whose favourite door colour is currently cerise pink. Strong, bright colours in full gloss are popular at the moment but if you haven't got the nerve, black is always a safe bet, or a flat, dark plum colour such as "Pelt", by Farrow & Ball, says Tacina Smith of interiors shop Smiths of Kensal Green . For a contemporary look, matt, muted and washed-out colours are favoured in smart London streets.
2. Invest in quality door furniture. "Spend an extra £100 to get really good things," Beeny says. "Cheap generally looks cheap." Try to choose furniture in keeping with your property; heavy Victorian door knockers and Victorian letter boxes will look ridiculous unless your home is Victorian. For a more contemporary look go for brass letter plates or chrome door knockers. MORE HANDLES has a huge range to choose from. Avoid tune-playing door bells.
3. Lighting is vital, placed either side of the front door to add symmetry, or a lantern in a portico entrance, says Alex Michelin, of swanky London developers Finchatton. Don't be afraid to try out lights in situ before you commit; if they're too big or too ornate they can look brash. If your property is approached via a garden, light it sensitively. "Good garden lighting is unseen," Beeny says. Hide lights in the trees or conceal them in the garden path or drive. Carolyn Trevor, an interior designer who has a long list of celebrity clients, recommends Charles Edwards for wall lanterns and lights (www.charlesedwards.com ) or Phillips and Wood (www.phillipsandwood.co.uk )
4. The approach to the front door (steps, a path and/or a driveway), should be swept of leaves, and free from rubbish. Cars, bicycles, horse boxes must be neatly parked. Alex Michelin recommends marble, sandstone or Portland stone for steps and paths, and newly painted railings. Porches can give an air of distinction but can become dumping grounds for clutter. "They can be awful if they are stuck on as an afterthought – they must be in proportion," says Crispin Holborow of Savills. Or improve exterior woodwork and wooden furniture with Osmo wood oils.
5. Numbering or naming a house can easily go wrong. Wonky numerals, badly painted names, or plaques with pictures (such as birds, trees) do no justice to the front of a house. For houses with fanlights, Carolyn Trevor suggests the number or name is acid-etched into the glass. Or for an affordable alternative, Tacina Smith recommends number stickers from http://www.simplystick.co.uk/. Holborow would steer away from putting a name plaque on a country house. "If they don't know where you live you don't want them there," he says. For those who insist, names can be wrought into gateways, or inscribed tastefully on brass or slate, and screwed to the gate post or porch.
6. Windows look sad when they are dirty, so make sure yours are cleaned regularly. Rotten window frames are also unacceptable and if you're putting in new ones, make sure they are appropriate with the design of the rest of the house. "The position of the glazing bars is massively important," Beeny says. "And don't feel you have to paint them white. They look great in lots of different colours from stone to dark green to black." Bear in mind the colour of the brick/stone work before choosing a colour though. Finally, all curtain linings and blinds should match when seen from the street or driveway (try www.theblindscompany.co.uk or www.eclectic-interiors.com )
7. However small the space is, add some greenery. "You don't need a big garden to plant a creeper, and houses look beautiful with plants trailing up them," Beeny says. "And you can easily make window boxes yourself. Just paint a plastic planter and plant it with some draping ivy." Landscaped beds with colourful planting and box hedges set off the front of a house; or for smaller spaces, such as either side of the front door, planters with box topiary. Remember though that some creepers are not good for brickwork as they can pull the mortar out of the pointing.
8. An impressive entrance gate is a "must have" for a country house, Holborow says. But entrances should reflect the period of the house; wrought iron electric gates are in keeping with a new-build home, while a white-painted gate with simple stone pillars is better suited to a manor. Carved owls and eagles should really only adorn the entrance pillars to stately homes and castles.
9. Spruce up a tired façade by repainting, re-pointing, or rendering over ugly brickwork. Don't go too crazy: paint colours should be more sensible than on the front door, and in keeping with the period of the house (and the ones either side, if you live on a street). This doesn't mean to say that they have to be the same colour (unless you are in a heritage area).
10. Don't let the house next door ruin your kerb appeal. If your neighbours have rubbish outside their house, suggest you remove it, rather than whinging about it, Beeny says. "And if you're trimming your hedge, ask if you can do theirs while you're at it – 10 minutes mowing, or rubbish collecting is worth the effort." Try to conceal their rubbish bins (and yours) behind a hedge or a small fence. If you have to have them on show, make sure they are clean and the lids are on.

Project aim
This year I set myself the task of raising £10,000 for ten incredible charities and have £6k so far. £4k to go! www.tracykiss.com
About the project
For every charity I fundraise for I personally visit them to create a YouTube video showing how the donations are used, as well as undertake a physical challenge for sponsorship which has so far involved running, cycling, mountain climbing and soon to be swimming and skydiving. Not only do I want to help raise funds for charities close to my heart but also to raise awareness about the incredible work they do and ensure that people continue to support them for years to come.
After the crowdfunder site has deducted it's fee then 100% of the donations that my page receives goes directly to the charities I am helping and I receive nothing in return for my time. I am a single mother to my two young children looking to make a positive difference to the world by helping others and I welcome you to join me.
Any questions please just ask and keep up to date on my progress at www.tracykiss.com I publish all of my fundraising progress and cheque handovers onto my social media to show you that I really do what I say I do, it's a great physical challenge and I hope that it may motivate you to do the same for others and show me your support. Peace and love to all x x x
I would really appreciate it if you could share my page with your friends and family and help me to spread the word and reach my target as quickly as possible. Thank you x

Date: Wednesday 28 March 2012
Time: 18:00 to 20:00
Location: Pannone, Manchester
Speakers: Daniel Bennett
Elderly people should feel assured that they will receive the best possible health and social care that they require, and also have the opportunity to influence their own lives. However, recent incidents reported in the media show that the standard of care in the UK, both in hospitals and care homes, can be of detrimentally poor quality, forcing governing bodies to take action to try and improve the care of our older population.
AvMA's essential 'Improving Care of the Elderly' conference highlights recommendations for improving care of the elderly from the Care Quality Commission, how to improve basic training of nurses and re-instilling the caring element which can so often be lacking. The prevention of falls and fractures in hospitals will also be examined and the complex issue of dementia and cognitive impairment in the elderly will be discussed. The programme will also feature age discrimination and access to treatment, pharmacology problems, pressure sores, sharing best practice and claims for the elderly to assist you with your caseload.
This is a 'must-attend' conference for clinical negligence solicitors, barristers and healthcare professionals specialising in elderly care and clinical governance, to ensure that older people are given the best care possible and are properly represented, with the most up-to-date practical and legislative information as possible.

MeMo: Tag rebel. No snow. Dance lessons
Published 5:30 am, Tuesday, March 15, 2005
good afternoon!
The state motto of Texas is "Friendship". Don't forget that.
1. As she was heading up the new EZ Tag-only ramp on 249 the other day -- not in her own car, for the record -- MeMo was called to muse on the pros and cons of EZ Tag culture. Now MeMo is just a DY with an attitude, but as she understand it there are, essentially, three kinds of highways in the Houston area: 1.) The plain vanilla po' folk highway, like 45 and 10 and 59, the use of which requires only a working motor vehicle and all the time in the world; 2.) The tollway, like Sam Houston or Hardy, which is faster but asks you to cough up cash or an EZ Tag; and 3.) EZ Tag-only stuff like the Westpark Tollway and these new, direct 249 ramps.

Now MeMo has a bit of a problem with the idea of some highways for people who will pay extra and some highways for people who can't or won't, but that ethical twitch probably stopped being interesting years ago. The new tag-only access is a little weirder. To use these roads, you need to register, get a tag and get monitored every time you pass through, right? So much for trying to live even halfway off the grid.
Even outside government issues, Americans are great at giving away their privacy for a mess of pottage. In MeMo's wallet, for example, are pass-through cards for Kroger and Randall's, PetSmart and CVS and probably a couple of others, not even getting to the debit and credit plastic. No one forces her to give away her personal purchasing information -- she does this, shamefully, for 50 cents off on a bag of Purina One. Web sites such as this one require registration, though bugmenot.com is supposed to work. And what about purchases from Web sites and astrology sites and all the rest? Is there any information you have not given away at some point?
It is doubtless stupid to give away information so recklessly. Somehow, EZ Tag makes it even worse -- the freedom of the open road is there for anyone willing to give a detailed record of comings and goings. The anonymity of the toll booth was one of its charms. Tossing quarters into the toll basket is fun, for one thing -- like a midway game you can play from your car. And human toll-takers, especially in Texas, are unfailingly cheerful.
It's nice to hit the road and imagine you're a free bird, even if you stop at Kroger. It's nice to think the people in the other cars are free birds too. For now, MeMo's going to remain a rebel without a tag.
2. End of Days? Aw yeah, baby! Not that Hemingway could have lived to see the end of spring skiing at Kilimanjaro anyway.

This is MeMo's latest and heretofore most successful strategy for coping with technological change: Make someone else figure it out.
b. Zee French, zay are of zee thinness ... Reader Jeff B. offers this on the thin French woman diet craze. (Leek soup? Sounds Welsh.)
5. Dwight sent MeMo this. Dwight is so losing it. It's bad enough he pushes a shopping cart around all the time, but he should quit bumping into people in the halls and screaming about the dot com bubble. Snap out of it, Dwight. It's ova. That tech blog? He soooooo doesn't really write it. Richard Justice. Just sayin'.
MeMo bought the Wonder Ful Can Opener-L' at the 99 cent store. It is black and surprisingly flimsy, given the awe-inspiring buildup, sort of like finding out The Jolly Green Giant could hide between your toes. The Wonder Ful Can Opener-L' doesn't actually open cans with any certitude, but it is wonderful in its own way. Just kind of for being, not doing.

School Bans Kids From Reading Bibles During RecessTopics: Human Interest
I missed this at The Education Wonks on Sunday, but it's never too late to pass this around.
It is being reported that an elementary school has banned kids from bringing Bibles to school and reading them during recess:
In a letter to the Knox County School District in Tennessee, the Alliance Defense Fund declared the principal of Karns Elementary School is on "shaky constitutional ground."
According to ADF, 10-year-old student Luke Whitson used his regularly scheduled recess time to read the Bible with a few friends on his school's playground. After receiving a complaint from a parent, the principal reportedly ordered the students to stop their activity, put their Bibles away and cease from bringing them to school.
"There are no 'age discrimination' allowances in the First Amendment of the Constitution," said ADF Senior Counsel Joseph Infranco. "The law protects these students the same as it protects all students."
Infranco said children "have rights of speech and association during their non-instructional time, and the school may not curtail those rights because of their age."
According to the Knox News Sentinel: silviom[at]mailinator[dot]com password: helsinki) Karns Elementary School Principal Cathy Summa denies that there is a ban on bringing Bibles to school, saying that she has one in her office. But when can kids read their Bibles?

those sites might help you to explain what might be going on to your kids, though. You might try to look up one of the local centers that deal with the issue and see if they have any info to give you or if you could schedule some time to talk about it. You could also see if they have support groups.Originally Posted by remote_goddess;2708830;
remote_goddess I'm going to be a different voice here. I'm not sure how much understanding about the disorder is going to help your kids. It seems like they may have a jealousy thing going on, thinking that she's only doing it for attention. You might try explaining to them that she may have done it for attention first, but now it's gotten so out of hand that she's been actually diagnosed with a very dangerous condition. It's tough balancing your kids feelings and making them understand the gravity of the situation. The support groups and websites are a good idea.
Well, I've had a very interesting day. The kiddo and I started out this morning by getting on the topic of recreational drugs and how dangerous they are. It was a very pleasant conversation.
Then this afternoon we had the talk that I have been dreading above all others. Menstruation. She was flipping through the "Care and Keeping of You" book by American Girl and she came to the chapter on 'Your Period'. M is deathly afraid of anything that involves blood, which is why I have been so loathe to broach this subject.
So we sat down and read the chapter together then I showed her what all the feminine protection looked like... the tampon in the glass of water was a huge hit
All in all it went very smoothly and there were no hysterics or tears, she was more concerned about getting hair in her underarms (like a raccoon?!) than anything else.
I want to thank you experienced moms once again for steering to toward "The Care and Keeping of You". It is a fantastic book and I don't know what I would have done without it.
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
A raccoon?
I haven't had "the talk" with my 8-year-old yet, but she does know what a period is, and that she'll bleed every month. Basically, when she asks a question, I answer it. I'm starting to think that maybe we should have an official sit-down and I explain everything?
Dux, did you buy that book here in Canada, or did you have to order it?

I ordered it at chapters.ca and I picked it up at the store. I had to prepay with my credit card and the book was $13.95 CDN - it might even be less now that most stores are selling books at the listed American price.
It's such a good book AJ! In plain language, not too technical and not so much detail as to overwhelm the girls. A good investment for you since you get to use it twice The full title is
"The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls" by American Girl
While I'm at it I'd also like to recommend "The New Speaking of Sex: What your children need to know and when they need to know it" by Meg Hickling R.N. More plain talk about sex - how and when to tell your kids, the back of the book covers hypotheticals and it has descriptions There's a chapter called "straight answers to the questions your kids will ask" such as 'what is a prostitute? what is cross-dressing, what is a transsexual?' and so on. It has real questions from kids in the margins. Best of all Meg is a Canadian author.
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
I'd better get both. I've already had the prostitute and transsexual question, believe it or not. Thanks, Oprah. I think I gave a fairly straightforward answer, but I'd like to hear what the pros say. Thanks Dux.

The red carpet has turned into product placement: Julie ChristieFebruary 23rd, 2008 - 5:17 pm ICT by admin
London, Feb 23 (ANI): Veteran actress Julie Christie believes that the red carpet isnt what it used to be, insisting that the whole tradition has turned into product placement.
The 68-year-old actress, who has been nominated for Best Actress Academy Award for the film Away From her, said that though the red carpet has always been obsessed with youth and beauty, respect for the older people and their wisdom is missing from modern day celeb events.
Lets be realistic, you want to see people like Johnny Depp on the red carpet, or Angelina Jolie, a young woman I admire, the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
Theres always been an obsession with youth and beauty. Whats missing is the equal obsession with respect for the older people and their wisdom, knowledge and courage.
And I dont like the way the red carpet has turned into product placement. Who are you wearing? From where did you borrow your jewels?
I dont know where the glamour is in admitting youve borrowed your jewellery or were put together by a stylist, she added.
The actress has already won Best Actress award for Away From Her in Screen Actors Guild Award. (ANI)

Quit saying 'I can't', and start sayin 'I can'. Nothing will be accomplished by demeaning yourself with such words as "can't". My suggestion is to quiet your mind, and really just let your consciousness flow. Write in a journal, draw, allow yourself time to just think. Get it out.
Now that you got that done, you are in the right headspace to meditate.
If that helps. Some people sing, others dance, others paint, some draw. Whatever helps you to express your troubling feelings outwards, and allows you to feel a posotive outcome from doing it, then do it.

Having a Grand time: Stephens reaches Wimbledon QFBy HOWARD FENDRICH , Associated Press
Jul. 1, 2013 2:42 PM ET
LONDON (AP) — Without a doubt, Grand Slam tournaments bring out the best in Sloane Stephens, the last American singles player still around at the All England Club.

Take a look at what she's done this season.
After her career-best run to the Australian Open semifinals in January, and before her second-week appearances at the French Open in June and at Wimbledon — where the 17th-seeded Stephens reached the quarterfinals with a three-set victory Monday — she went through quite a rough patch: a four-month stretch in which she failed to win more than two consecutive matches at any tournament.
"It was a bad time," Stephens said.
How did she turn it around?
"Just knowing that I am a good tennis player. I'm top-20 in the world for a reason. I didn't, like, all of a sudden, snap my fingers and I got good," Stephens said. "I put in a lot of work. (It) took a lot of sweat (and), like, 'bad hair' days, all that other stuff, to get to where I was. I realize that I just couldn't let that go to waste. I had to get back to work."
At Roland Garros last month, she reached the fourth round before losing to 2012 champion Maria Sharapova. At Wimbledon on Tuesday, Stephens will take on 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli, the 2007 runner-up, with a chance to reach her second major semifinal of the year — and of her nascent career.
"Everyone asks, like, 'Why do you only play well in the Slams?' ... I mean, I don't know," the 20-year-old Stephens said. "It just happens."
Playing at Wimbledon for the second time, Stephens got through the fourth round Monday by beating 19-year-old Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Stephens wrapped up her 2-hour, 4-minute victory on Court 18 shortly after defending champion Serena Williams' 34-match winning streak ended with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 loss to Sabine Lisicki on Centre Court.
For the first time in 101 years, no men representing the U.S. even made it to Wimbledon's third round, and Williams and Stephens were the only women from the country in the fourth round.
Williams was asked who she thinks will win Wimbledon now that she's out.
"Sloane has a really good chance of winning. She has a great draw. I think she can take it," said Williams, who lost to Stephens in the Australian Open quarterfinals. "It would be really nice to see her win."
Earlier this year, Stephens found herself in a bit of a brouhaha over less-than-flattering comments she made to a reporter about Williams.
Young as she is, and even though she has yet to win a title on tour, Stephens already knows what it feels like to play in the latter rounds at Grand Slam tournaments. Wimbledon is her ninth major, while Puig was only in her second, and that might have made a difference Monday.
"Sloane's been in this situation many times before, so she has a little bit more experience in this type of stage than I do," Puig said. "That ... definitely helps her a little bit."
Stephens' next opponent, France's Bartoli, is 28, owns seven career titles, and will be appearing in her sixth major quarterfinal overall, third at Wimbledon. Bartoli was a 6-2, 6-3 winner against 104th-ranked Karin Knapp of Italy 6-2, 6-3 on Monday.
Bartoli lost to Williams' sister, Venus, in the 2007 final at the All England Club. Two years before that, Stephens recalls tuning in on TV for what she called an "epic final" at Wimbledon, when Venus Williams beat Lindsay Davenport 9-7 in the third set.
"I was not good at tennis then, obviously. I was a non-factor," said Stephens, who was 12 at the time. "So it's crazy just thinking that I went from watching that to actually here in the quarters. It's definitely crazy, but it's good."

For general discussion on this episode, visit the TOS forum at The Trek BBS.
Filming datesEdit
The The Star Trek Compendium lists this episode as being filmed in early and mid-October 1967 and the previous episode, "The Gamesters of Triskelion" as being filmed in late October of that same year. As with "Space Seed" and "A Taste of Armageddon" I'm not sure whether the author had the filming dates mixed up or whether post-production work was being taken into account, or if the episodes were for some reason filmed out of an assigned production order.
- I guess the author mixed it up, but in that case "The Gamesters of Triskelion" was filmed in late September. "Obsession" was surely filmed early and mid-October. The director mentions October 13, 1967 as the fifth shooting day in his blog. -- Ltarex, June 9, 2010, 9:21 (CET)
I rewrote the two items listed under the subsection "Cast."
- * Eddie Paskey (Lt. Leslie) is killed by the vampire cloud in this episode, but reappears in later scenes (and the very next episode "The Immunity Syndrome") very much alive! According to Paskey, a scene in which a miracle potion saved his life was cut from the show. To see Leslie post mortem, look to see him walk by McCoy in a corridor in a red shirt. Later he walks by McCoy's office door in a yellow shirt when Nurse Chapel enters.
The exclamation point had to go, and the POV was all wrong in the next-to-last sentence.
- * Jerry Ayres, who is killed by the vampire cloud, ...
Good lord, I hope Mr. Ayres wasn't killed, but rather his character was. -- Bridge 11:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
"no natural phenomenon can move faster than light" Edit
In a different episode - and I'll need some reminding as to which one - we are told that no natural phenomenon can move faster than light. Yet the cloud-creature in "Obsession" reaches speeds up to warp 8. --184.108.40.206 05:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- that would be from this sites namesake episode "The Lights of Zetar". --Morder 05:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- perhaps no existing natural phenomenon, since the dikironium cloud creature clearly did not walk away from this episode. 126.96.36.199 08:51, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Removed Edit
Removed the following nitpick.
- Dr. McCoy wears an Engineering symbol on his assignment patch, instead of his usual Sciences symbol. [http://www.st-spike.org/images --31dot 20:02, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- (NOTE: This requires an explosive force of more than 4.6 million megatons. This is far beyond the standard formula for an ounce of anti-matter, which renders a reaction of no more than 2 megatons. This indicates that Star Trek's anti-matter reactions use a much greater standard than current-- more than 2 million times greater.)
- I also removed this as a nit. - Archduk3 05:55, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
- I removed the sentence about the octopus from the end of this section in Story and Production,
- This episode also reveals more about the biochemistry of Spock, which is based on copper, not iron, and found to be distasteful to the creature. On our own planet, octopuses have copper-based blood, hemocyanin, which makes their blood appear blue.
- Mrtrekkiedude 12:30, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
- I removed the sentence about the octopus from the end of this section in Story and Production,
Year Edit
As the episode previous to this one, "The Deadly Years" and the next episode "Wolf in the Fold" are set in 2267, shouldn't this episode also be set in 2267? 18.104.22.168 23:52, May 9, 2015 (UTC)
- No. MA uses the production order for TOS, so those aren't the episodes preceding and following this one in the timeline. - Archduk3 00:28, May 10, 2015 (UTC)
No wonder all the dates are wrong on this site. 184.108.40.206 09:29, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Call it golf's most dangerous game.
The reason there aren't more tournaments featuring a match-play format – and I'll examine this at greater length later in the column – is the fact that the event always shrinks as it progresses and the final match is a nationally televised crapshoot, with potential for causing as many Sunday afternoon naps as edge-of-your-seat moments.
This year's edition of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, however, clearly ranked among the latter, with Hunter Mahan outdueling Rory McIlroy in a match-up of young, affable superstars.
There were storylines galore during the 36-hole final day, most revolving around the increasing emergence of McIlroy. The Weekly 18 begins with the idea that this is only the start of much bigger things for him this season.
1. Movin' on up
In three starts so far this season, Rory McIlroy owns two runner-up finishes and a fifth place. A misanthrope may point to the fact that he has yet to add to his five career professional victories as proof that he can't come through in the clutch, but the rest of are just waiting for the dam to burst and titles to start pouring through.
It's becoming all too obvious that McIlroy is on the verge of very big things. Not that the reigning U.S. Open champion hasn't reached such a level previously, but his occasional dominance now appears to have been joined by a high level of consistency, as well.
There are certain aspects of different players' games which separate them from other tiers of their peers. When Tiger Woods was atop the golf world, what separated him was not only continued dominance, but that high level of consistency. Even on weeks in which he had only his "B" or "C" game, Woods would fail to contend for most of the week, only to finish in, say, a share of fifth place when the tournament was over.
Without question, Rory has enough expectations on his increasingly broad shoulders than to be saddled with constant Tiger comparisons, but it's an appropriate allegory considering his recent elevation. Most players – even the upper 1 percent of the elite echelon – encounter cyclical ebbs and flows to their performance charts, but only the best of the best can find themselves on leaderboards week after week.
Tiger Woods separated himself from the pack by accomplishing that for years. Luke Donald did so last season. And we may be on the verge of witnessing Rory McIlroy enjoy a similar type of high-level consistency this year.
2. What I Learned
I learned that Rory McIlroy wasn't ready to become the No. 1-ranked player in the world. No, that will have to wait another week or two or three, because I also learned that the youngster's ascension to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking is now an inevitability. McIlroy has made no secret about his dogged determination to become No. 1 and now it appears only a matter of time before the devious formula calculates in his favor and adds up to a new level of achievement. He said earlier in the week that ranking notwithstanding Tiger Woods is still the game's best player. After winning five of six matches in the desert, Rory may not find too many peers who agree with that statement. He's right about the "best" and the "top-ranked" not always being one and the same, but when McIlroy reaches that level soon, those terms may actually be synonymous.

Three Up
3. Hunter Mahan
If the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship is akin to the NCAA basketball tournament – at least in format – then what we witnessed this weekend was golf's equivalent of the Big East or ACC having three teams qualify for the Final Four.
In this game's variation on conferences, one equipment manufacturer saw three of its players reach the semifinals, as Ping stalwarts Mahan, Mark Wilson and Lee Westwood each made it to Sunday.
That news is especially pertinent for Mahan, as the champion employed a few equipment changes prior to the opening round. The one making headlines – and rightfully so – is his switch to the Nome putter, which occurred just prior to the event.
As one Ping staffer told me, "He put it in his bag on Monday after a session with senior PGA Tour rep Matt Rollins at Dove Mountain's putting green. They put a laser device in front of the face of Hunter's putter to check his alignment and it turned out Hunter was aiming a couple inches left of the hole with his putter. After experimenting with a few other models with different hosels, Matt put the Nome in Hunter's hands and his alignment was square every time. He rolled a few putts and most went in, so he took it on the course for a nine-hole test and switched to it. This is a huge change for Hunter as he has used an Anser-style putter his entire career."
Additionally, Mahan had switched out the shaft in his G20 driver two weeks earlier and put a new G20 3-wood into the bag on Tuesday.
Without a doubt, mental fortitude and technical precision were the most important tools in Mahan claiming a 6-0 record this past week. But some more tangible tools had a major impact on the final result, too.
4. Angela Stanford
Simply put, Stanford is too talented to have not won since the beginning of the 2009 season.
That's not a criticism; it's a compliment on her game. Since that win at the SBS Open at Turtle Bay to kick off the '09 campaign, Stanford has pulled 28 top-10 finishes in 70 starts without another victory.
Until now.
Stanford outlasted three other competitors in what turned out to be a three-hole rain-delayed playoff at the HSBC Women's Champions to claim her fifth career title.
"I haven't won a major yet, so this is the closest thing so far," Stanford said about the importance of this win. "The best players in the world are here and they call it Asia's major, so it's the closest thing to me."
5. Fake Ben Crane
The real Ben Crane is pretty cool. Four career wins, excellent putter, wears a mean unitard.
But his fake doppelganger may be a little more intimidating.
A mannequin dressed like Crane and brandishing a golf club in the Copenhagen, Denmark, headquarters of ShowMeGolfers thwarted a robbery last week. According to reports, burglars broke a window, but upon seeing what they believed to be a real person, they fled the scene without taking anything.
And that's not even the best part.
According to a USA Today account, "upon arriving at the scene, police officers pulled their guns on the Crane lookalike and asked him to drop his gun before realizing it was a mannequin."
All of which left the real Crane feeling downright proud at "his" achievement.
'I am pumped. This is awesome,' he told the newspaper. 'It's weird, I'll tell you that. But it's great news. And I technically saved a major robbery. When the cops got there, they soon realized I had it all under control.'
Three Down
6. Zack Miller
In two rounds at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, Miller posted rounds of 81-92 that included a total of four double bogeys, four triple bogeys and a quad.
I'm not here to pile on, nor will I poke fun at a struggling young pro who undoubtedly already feels badly enough about what took place.
Allow me, though, to provide some details and put those two rounds into some perspective.
According to someone who witnessed every shot, Miller had what can only be described as swing yips and a two-way miss. After the second round, rather than retiring to the 19th hole or heading to the airport, he answered questions from reporters, then went straight to the driving range, where he received an impromptu lesson from Don Levin (Spencer's father) and hit about eight bags of balls.
Miller should be commended for not only continuing to play through all 36 holes – his caddie asked if he wanted to withdraw after the front nine on Friday – but signing his scorecard, something many others in the same situation before him have avoided, but he felt was his "duty as a professional."
It's obvious the 27-year-old has some work to do before he recovers, but here's hoping that time comes. And when it does, Miller will be able to look back on his results from this past week with a dismissive smile.
7. Tiger Woods
Let's not make any grandiose proclamations about Woods' second-round exit at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. After all, 48 of the 64 competitors exited the desert before Friday, so he should hardly come under full criticism for his loss to Nick Watney.
Of course, Tiger being Tiger his game is always more scrutinized than that of every other player in the field. I'm still bullish on his prospects for the remainder of the year, but allow me to reiterate a few observations about his game that were again on full display this week.
First, he needs a short-game instructor. Following the third round at Pebble Beach a few weeks ago, he once again explained that his father Earl – who passed away in 2006 – remains the sole putting coach he's ever had. "When I have to make them, [when] it's a must-make putt," he said, "I revert back to a lot of my dad's teachings.'
Not that he should ever forget the lessons of his father, but whether it's a full-time guru like Dave Stockton or Stan Utley or just another set of eyes that can look at his putting stroke, it's hardly a bad idea to get a fresh perspective. Sean Foley recently told me that while Woods' former coaches Butch Harmon and Hank Haney would work with him on this part of his game, Foley keeps his input focused on the swing.
Tiger apparently understands the value of having someone else check his stroke, because as some of my Golf Channel colleagues noted prior to the Match Play, he was seeking advice from Steve Stricker both during and after their practice round together. That's all well and good, but he can't expect a fellow competitor – even a friend – to serve in that capacity.
Second, it's time for Tiger to stop treating the par-5s like he's a brash, long-bombing 21-year-old. Back then, he would patently go for every par-5 in two, often coming up on the right side of the risk-reward proposition, finding plenty of makable eagle putts.
That isn't happening nearly as often anymore. Woods' par-5 birdie-or-better percentage has declined mightily the past two-plus years. The good news is there's an easy solution: Laying up. It may not be the macho thing to do, but Zach Johnson won a green jacket employing that strategy – and green jackets are eminently macho.
Woods is probably one of the best wedge players of all time and undoubtedly one of the best of this generation. In his two matches this week, though, he played the eight combined par-5 holes in just 2 under par, while mostly going for the green in two. I'd love to see his score had he simply laid up to a comfortable wedge distance each time, in effect turning each of these holes into a short par-3.
In each case, what worked early in his career hasn't been working lately. And in each case, Tiger has the ability to make a change and adapt to life as a middle-ager in the pro game.
8. Luke Donald
He is still the world's No. 1-ranked player, but his lead is quickly diminishing by the week.
On the bright side, Donald achieved his best result of the season at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Of course, that's only because his T-33 finish for a first-round drubbing at the hands of Ernie Els usurped his T-48 in Abu Dhabi and T-56 at Riviera.
Despite the poor start for a man who was a veritable top-10 machine last year, this is hardly panic time for Donald, who has reached such lofty heights largely by outworking his fellow competitors.
The best players in the world often talk about having their games peak four times per year – and that number can be extended to five for Europeans and Americans during a Ryder Cup year.
If Donald can finally break through for that first career major championship victory, his slow start will forever be forgotten. If, however, the slow start leads to further sluggish play throughout the year, expect him to look back on the first few months to examine where it all went awry.
9. Fact or Fiction
There should be more than one match-play event on the annual PGA Tour schedule.
The cries of support ring out every year at this time. After watching five days of match play, fans question why there aren't more events that employ this format.
Well, there are a few good reasons for that.
The first is due to the fact that television ratings don't support the format. Unless a combination of two top players reaches the Sunday final, it's a hard sell to casual fans. You may have been glued to the screen when Henrik Stenson beat Geoff Ogilvy or Kevin Sutherland topped Scott McCarron, but you're in the minority.
The second goes hand-in-hand with the first. Purists may disagree, but watching two people play golf just isn't very exciting. That goes double for a televised event when there's nothing else to show in between shots. It's a cruel irony of this event. Unlike every other one on the schedule, the most interesting and entertaining day comes first, then each subsequent day pales in comparison.
Don't get me wrong. I love match-play events and encourage amateur golfers to partake in the format whenever possible. But there are certain reasons why they aren't – and shouldn't be – more of 'em on the PGA Tour. For those reasons, consider the above statement to be FICTION.
10. Quote of the Week
"I'd feel better if I could punch [Nick] Faldo flat on the back of the neck." – Matt Kuchar after his quarterfinal loss.
Before you start bracing for an analyst/player brawl, consider the source. Kuchar is one of the PGA Tour's nice guys and was simply cracking on Faldo – but as he explained afterward, it could have been anyone.
Sir Nick later tweeted: "Matt Kuchar sought me. Said, 'I'm sorry, I was trying to say something funny. Didn't come out right,' Hey, we are okay mate!

The Grey Goose panel previews the Honda Classic and we discuss our expectations for Tiger Woods on his road to the Masters in this Grey Goose Internet Extra.
Three Wishes
12. I wish we could retire the term "upset" when discussing the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Because of the integration of brackets and seeds, the Match Play often draws comparisons to March Madness. And so, victories by lower-seeded players are regularly considered "upsets" by the masses, when in fact that couldn't be further from the truth.
If the 64th- and final-seeded team in the NCAA Tournament defeats the No. 1-ranked squad, now that's an upset of David-over-Goliath proportions. (As proof, it's never happened.) But for a player like Ernie Els to beat Luke Donald? Well, that may happen four times out of 10 – and this just happened to be one of those four.
For there to really be upsets in the Match Play, the tournament would probably have to be extrapolated tenfold. Which is to say, the No. 1 player would compete against the 640th-ranked player.
If that was the case and little-known David McKenzie of Australia knocked off Donald, well, then we have a real upset. But with the top 64 in the world so closely bunched together, the term under the current format simply doesn't apply.
13. I wish every major winner "changed" like Charl Schwartzel.
We hear it all the time. Golfer wins his first major championship, then he's later asked how the experience has changed him.
The response is always similar: "I'm the same person I've always been. I haven't changed at all." Then he grabs his wife, three kids and five nannies, hops into the awaiting limo and heads for his private jet.
Not so for Schwartzel. The defending Masters champion recently partook in a teleconference for this year's edition of the event and once again reiterated his desire to barbeque meats for the upcoming Champions Dinner – with him manning the grill in his green jacket.
For more on Schwartzel, click here.
14. I wish the timing of the PGA Tour's extension with FedEx made sense.
Two years ago, Tiger Woods came out of hiding after his personal scandal and held a one-man press conference during the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship a few thousand miles from the tournament site.
At the time, Woods was roundly criticized for taking away from the importance of the tournament, with some going so far as to claim that it was a prepared backlash against Accenture, which had dropped him as a client in the months prior.
Obviously we're talking apples and oranges, but I still found it interesting that PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem's decision to announce the FedEx extension on Wednesday morning as the opening-round matches were about to begin didn't claim any of the same accusations, even after he commenced the news conference by saying, "I know we have an early start and I know this is an inconvenient time for some of you getting ready to cover those matches."
Good for Finchem and the Tour brass for getting FedEx to buy into a format that many of their own constituents still haven't completely bought into. Fantastic business decision. That's not the issue here. It just seems that for a news story so major – and one that was hardly a secret and couldn't have had the ink dry that very morning – it need not have been squeezed in during the morning of golf's most exciting Wednesday.
Weird call by the Tour. Probably even weirder in that Finchem acknowledged the poor timing and still chose to make the announcement that morning.
15. Stat of the Week
Some great research from Golf Channel coordinating producer and resident OWGR guru Alan Robison:
It's moot now, but as mentioned ad infinitum throughout the week, if McIlroy had won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, he would have reached No. 1 in the ranking for the first time.
You knew that already. What you may not have known is that if McIlroy had skipped this week's Honda Classic, he would have remained No. 1.
OK, that makes sense. But here's something you probably didn't know: With Rory in the field at the Honda, there was a decent chance that he could have lost that No. 1 status after just one week.
Because his divisor will increase from 50 to 51, McIlroy would have needed a top-20 finish or so in order to remain ahead of Donald, who isn't playing. He would have needed something around a top 10 to stay ahead of Lee Westwood if he goes on to win this week's event.
Like I said, though, it's all moot now. Instead, we're left with some other intriguing scenarios entering this week's tournament.
According to the latest projection, McIlroy will need 34 points to surpass Donald and become No. 1. Based on last year's points allocation at the Honda, a solo second-place finish should get it done. Westwood, meanwhile, will need 51 points to move into the top spot. He can get it with a victory – but only with a victory.
16. Photo of the Week
Ah, the old exploding-ball trick. Haven't seen that one since '83. View all Photos of the Week.
17. From the Inbox
On Thursday, after the opening round of the HSBC Women's Champions, I tweeted the following in regard to the leader and another player well down the leaderboard:
Angela Stanford leads LPGA tourney after 6-under 66. Michelle Wie is 13 shots back. I believe that would be called flunking out of Stanford.
It was just an innocent joke. I tend to do that on Twitter.
Of course, being the polarizing figure that Wie is, it prompted some interesting comments about her, including this one:
@David Daniel: what's the most appropriate descriptor for wie's career to date? Bust? Unfulfilled potential? Circus sideshow? Waste of talent?
Actually, I'd go with "wildly impressive."
No, her results have yet to outweigh the lofty expectations set upon her as a precocious teenager who was competing in PGA Tour events, but to label Wie as a "bust" is hugely inaccurate.
Instead, she's won two professional events and established herself as a top-20 player in the world (she was No. 18 entering this past week), all while taking a full course load at Stanford University.
Think about it: If a 22-year-old male collegian already owned two titles and was ranked 18th in the world, not only would he not be a bust, but we would be ready to induct him into the Hall of Fame already.
Wie deserves the same courtesy, expectations notwithstanding.
18. And the Winner Is…
This week's Honda Classic begins on March 1, but Graeme McDowell will enter the year's third month with a total of just one PGA Tour round under his belt, having lost in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship to Y.E. Yang.
Following his career year of 2010, McDowell struggled at times last season, earning just three top-10s in the U.S. One of those, though, came at the Honda, where he finished in a share of sixth place – and it should bode well for his chances this week, too.
He spoke in the offseason about not being able to live up to his own expectations last year (you can read about that subject here: McDowell hopeful for brighter future), but he sounds like a man determined to return to the winner's circle soon.
The friendly – not to mention windy – confines of PGA National could afford his next great opportunity.

Writing Center introduces online services
SU News Services
(315) 443-3784
Need writing help but can't stop by Syracuse University's Writing Center? Try the Writing Center's new online consulting services. The services include e-mail and one- on-one consultations via instant messaging. Students can also schedule and cancel appointments online using a program called WCOnline.
Administered by the Writing Program in The College of Arts and Sciences, the Writing Center (located in Room 101 of H.B. Crouse Hall) is a University-wide service designed to help students, faculty and staff become better writers.
"Smart, successful students from across the University use the services offered by the Writing Center," says Jason Luther, Writing Center administrator. "Our expanded services will enable more students to become part of that tradition. These online services now make us available 24/7 to SU students who are working in a nearby classroom on the Quad, in their residence hall, or as far away as Shanghai."
Among the new online services:
- eWC: Students e-mail questions or a draft of their paper via a request form that requires them to provide details about the assignment and a brief explanation of major concerns. A Writing Center consultant then responds with observations and suggestions within 48-60 hours. Students can also choose the feedback format that best meets their needs-a Microsoft Word file, an e-mail response or audio feedback via an MP3 file.
- Instant messaging: Students chat one-to-one with a writing consultant using AOL Instant Messenger, iChat, Google Talk or Jabber. Appointments can be made by choosing the "Instant Message" schedule when logging on to WCOnline.
Writing Center consultants work one-on-one with SU students of various academic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Writing Center consultants understand the challenges writers face throughout the writing process. Whether it's planning for a paper, reorganizing main ideas, incorporating sources or polishing a final draft, consultants can help students identify and design strategies for meeting their desired goals.
For more information about the Writing Center's new online services, visit http://wc.syr.edu or call the Writing Center at 443-5289.

The Pitch
Euroscreenwriters is a no-nonsense online resource for working and/or aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers. We're not here to make money like so many other sites. We're film professionals, not webmasters. We merely wish to present inspirational interviews, articles and other bits and pieces that we, ourselves, find useful in our work in the film industry. If others find the content useful, too, then that is payment in itself. Sure, there are Google ads on the pages, but that is to increase the googleability of the site.
The Back Story
Euroscreenwriters was founded in 1997 as a counterweight to all the screenwriting sites based in America and aimed at American screenwriters. The site endevoured to provide content with a European angle and based on the European storytelling tradition. A website was launched aimed at European screenwriters, both aspiring and established, and based on the European storytelling traditions.
At it's peak, the website also featured a showcase of European screenwriting talent including short bios and cv's for 130 writers from over 20 countries. Ah... the glory days. When we were kings, once were warriors... and all that.
The site blossomed like an untended garden and soon became too much of a handful for me to update. It was time to get on with my own career. I decided to stop updating and get busy. All the articles and interviews however are still available online here and occasionally new ones are added if deemed appropriate.

The 2011 NBA draft is a month away, and here's Mock Draft No. 2. The first mock was last week, and after last night's draft lottery, there was significant change in the Top 14. For the picks that have no explanation/reasoning: It's because there's no change from last week's mock draft. Taking a peek at some of the other mocks posted today, it looks like we were ahead of the curve with the Wizards, Rockets, 76ers and Thunder. If you're wondering why I have foreign players falling, take a look at the 29th pick.
1 Cleveland Cavaliers – Kyrie Irving, PG, Duke … Seen some people think the Cavs should go Williams first and then take a PG at 4, but I think a healthy Irving is a more complete player than Walker/Knight.
2 Minnesota Timberwolves – Derrick Williams, F, Arizona.
3 Utah Jazz – Brandon Knight, PG, Kentucky … Had the Jazz going big in the last mock, but moving up three spots allows them to grab the 2nd best PG in the draft, who will take over for Devin Harris in a year or two.
4 Cleveland Cavaliers – Enes Kanter, F, Kentucky … Lots of options for the Cavs here, including Leonard, since they don't have a SF. But if Kanter is the best post player in this draft (we'll find out in the coming weeks), they must take him.
5 Toronto Raptors – Tristan Thompson, PF, Texas … I actually like their backcourt but hate their frontcourt. Grab some beef to make life for Bargnani easier?
6 Washington Wizards – Kawahi, Leonard, SF, San Diego St. Had him 4th last time, and the next day Chad Ford labeled Leonard a "Top 5 pick."
7 Sacramento Kings – Kemba Walker, PG, Connecticut … Had them going with Brandon Knight last time, but Walker's the next best option.
8 Detroit Pistons – Alec Burks, SG, Colorado … Other than Greg Monroe's future at PF, isn't any position in play here? Or does the worst rebounding team in the league go big? Burks is a smooth, Rip-like shooter.
9 Charlotte Bobcats – Klay Thompson, SG, Washington St … 2nd worst 3-point shooting team in the league lands very good offensive player. Gerald Henderson seems more like a valuable reserve.
10 Milwaukee Bucks – Jan Vesely, PF, Czech Republic
11 Golden State Warriors – Chris Singleton, SF, FSU
12 Utah Jazz – Jimmer Fredette, G, BYU … They've got Jefferson, Millsap, Okur and Favors at PF/C, and Gordon Hayward is supposed to be their future SF. So take the local kid who may light it up off the bench the way Redick, Vinnie Johnson, Jamal Crawford or Korver do.
13 Phoenix Suns – Josh Selby, G, Kansas … Moved him way up from the last mock draft because of the dearth of available scorers, and the fact that the Suns are set in the frontcourt.
14 Houston Rockets – Tobias Harris, F, Tennessee
15 Indiana Pacers – Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Kansas … Some sites have Morris going in the Top 10, but I slide him down two spots from last time, which is probably a better fit. He can come off the bench to back up Granger and Hansbrough.
16 Philadelphia 76ers – Markieff Morris, PF, Kansas
17 New York Knicks – Jordan Hamilton, SG, Texas … This may seem silly considering their lack of size and how good of a story Landry Fields was last year, but they could use another scorer to take the pressure off Melo & Amare. Hamilton has New York swagger, too.
18 Washington Wizards (from Atlanta) – Marshon Brooks, SG, Providence … If the Wizards lose Nick Young, Brooks could be a solid replacement.
19 Charlotte Bobcats (from New Orleans) – Bismack Biyombo, PF, Congo … Most mock drafts have the Bobcats taking him 9th. The next Serge Ibaka?
20 Minnesota Timberwolves (from Memphis) – Jonas Valanciunas, PF, Lithuania … Everyone has this guy hovering around the Top 10, but he might not be able to come to the US for a few years. Who wants to waste a pick, like Orlando did with Fran Vazquez in 2005? Kahn does, of course.
21 Portland Trail Blazers – Reggie Jackson, PG, Boston College
22 Denver Nuggets – Lucas Nogueira, C, Brazil
23 Houston Rockets (from Orlando) – Kenneth Faried, PF, Morehead State
24 Oklahoma City Thunder – Kyle Singler, SF, Duke
25 Boston Celtics – Jordan Williams, PF/C, Maryland … Had him going to the Knicks last time, when I had Boston going with a scorer. Williams isn't the second coming of Kendrick Perkins, but he's not a bad start. Would it feel weird for Boston to draft a guy from Maryland … 25 years after Len Bias?
26 Dallas Mavericks – Shelvin Mack, G, Butler
27 New Jersey Nets (from L.A. Lakers) – Travis Leslie, SG, Georgia … They probably won't bring back Vujacic, leaving Anthony Morrow the only SG on the roster. Leslie is a sick athlete.
28 Chicago Bulls (from Miami via Toronto) – Davis Bertans, SF, Serbia
29 San Antonio Spurs –Donatas Motiejunas, PF, Lithuania … As you can see, I'm not too high on foreign players in this draft. You've seen plenty of solid, young, former college players contribute in the playoffs – Gibson, Vazquez, Sam Young, Darrell Arthur, etc – and my guess is some of the foreign prospects slip because of it.
30 Chicago Bulls – Nolan Smith, PG, Duke … CJ Watson's only on the books for one more year, and I think Smith will make a much better backup.

3 futon seater swing - where east meets west
byon 07-06-2012 at 08:34 PM (157 Views)
"Sometimes, its the basic pleasures in life that makes us pleased, like swinging happily in a hammock at a beach. Why not innovate a small by producing the 3 futon seater swing? A 3 futon seater swing is a futon converted into a swing with the capacity of a 3 seater fit. Currently, if you are searching for a single, then probably you need to make one your self. But dont fret just yet. Its not as tough to make one as you assume!
First you need to get yourself a three seater swing. The 3 seater swing you purchase need to have a three Seater Cast Aluminum. This swing frame you purchase should be a true heavy duty garden swing with heavy duty powder coat finish. Make sure that it also has a tilting sunshade and heavy duty sling set and sunshade so it will not fade in the most harsh outdoor climate. This is the your very first step and skeleton of your three futon seater swing.
Now that you have your 3 seater swing frame. It nevertheless isnt the most comfy thing in the globe. Good can be far better. So we look at combining yet another luxury into our set. The tough element is to locate a futon that you can use for cushioning in your brand new three seater swing frame. Now dont be discouraged. After all, its just a futon you are seeking for to fit the puzzle correct? Wrong. There is no spot on earth you can find a futon which can fit the size of a 3 seater swing. It just is not accessible.
However, there is alternative. You can locate a cushion made with the texture and top quality of a futon mattress and then use it as your cushioning for your three futon seater swing. Now just head down to a futon store and appear for a baby futon. You want to tell the sales person your intention so he or she can have an notion of your three futon seater swing project and estimate the finest cushion made of futon specifications for your three futon seater swing. Ask to see the choices of baby futons. Futons made for babies are of exact same texture and are not softer or tougher than ordinary futons. So all you need is six of them and then you will have your full fusion of standard Japanese bedding and three seater outdoor garden swing. Your new 3 futon seater swing will be the envy of your neighbors for a extremely extended time! welding helmet site"

Reminds me of a brilliant quotation I once heard somehwere :-) "Unfortunately, we have evolved from a situation where a bunch of smart people sat in front of dumb terminals into a situation where a bunch of dumb people are sitting in front of smart terminals." And it's true, most people generally nowadays are blithering computer idiots and have lost the fundamental core concepts of what a computer is. It's a shame that some people who may profess to be computer wunderkids have also fallen into the same pitiful boat as the vast masses of ordinary users. Cheers, -- James S.

Wilfried Zaha has denied rumours regarding his private life and lack of first-team action for Manchester United.
The £15 million signing is yet to feature in the Premier League this season - with his two appearances coming in the Community Shield and Capital One Cup.
Zaha was rumoured to be having an affair with David Moyes' daughter, Lauren, who deleted her Twitter account following the speculation, and the winger used the social networking website to dispel the "false accusations".
"I would like to stop all these false accusations .. I will play for Manchester United when my manager feels I'm ready ...," he tweeted.
"I've never dated or even met David moye's [sic] Daughter so that isn't the reason for my absence in games."
Zaha previously tweeted "Silly rumours. #childish" in October before publicly addressing the issue on Friday.

I have looked into this too but not very hard. Just enough to hit some dead ends. So if you find something please let me know. A suggestion to look at is StarWars Episode 1 CD. I think they did something like that where they put some sort of cert on a CD and used that to authenticate you to let you into the website to see Episode II previews. This might be a start.
Learn patience, you must.
