Source Water Initiative

Project Narrative
Imagine a day without water. How would you go about your daily life? Care for your family? Run a business? Now imagine three days without water and recall that the City of Toledo and nearby areas in Ohio and Michigan found themselves in this exact situation in the summer of 2014 during a harmful algal bloom on Lake Erie. Earlier in 2014, and outside the Great Lakes Basin, residents in a West Virginia community were without water for up to a week after chemicals were spilled into their source of drinking water, the Elk River. How can our Great Lakes communities address a seemingly endless array of risks to our water while also minding their budgetary bottom line?
The Source Water Initiative is part of the Commission's groundbreaking Blue Accounting program that will bring together water professionals from around the Great Lakes to promote shared, region-wide goals for protecting sources of drinking water. The Initiative will further develop recommended metrics for tracking progress toward the shared goals through available data sources with a keen eye toward filling gaps between existing regulatory systems. Ultimately, these efforts will deliver the right information to Great Lakes leaders through a web-based information platform; helping those leaders better set priorities and allocate resources.
Examining source water protection within the framework of the Blue Accounting program also presents as opportunity to provide services to local communities as an "incubator" for tracking watershed- or community-based efforts and coordinating those activities toward achievement of the shared goals. The Initiative will identify pilot areas within the Great Lakes basin, including one within the Western Lake Erie Basin, to test the incubator service through real-world application of Blue Accounting principles and seeks to produce results for public review in early 2018.
Project Partners
The Blue Accounting program is being developed through a partnership between the Great Lakes Commission and The Nature Conservancy, with cornerstone support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and additional support from The Erb Family Foundation, and The Joyce Foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
~ How do you acquire horses that are at the center?
Answer: Horses that are here at the center are surrendered to us by the individual owner or through another agency, such as animal control, an animal shelter, or the Sheriff/Police Department. A surrender form is completed for each horse which legally transfers ownership from that person/agency to the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center. At that point the KyEAC becomes the legal owner of the horse(s). Each horse also has to have a current negative coggins certificate. There is no fee for surrender. We only take horses from within the state of Kentucky.
~ Can you go and get horses that are in trouble or that are being abused/neglected?
Answer: No, The KyEAC has no authority or jurisdiction to investigate or seize horses. We are a private non-profit and do not have any law enforcement capabilities.
~ I live out of state, can I adopt from you?
Answer: Yes! We adopt to any state in the U.S. and even Canada! We have currently adopted horses to all four corners of the U.S. and in between.
~ Can I make payments on my adoption fee?
Answer: We require the adoption payment in full at time of the adoption.
~ I'm a kid- can I adopt a horse?
Answer: YES!! We frequently have young people wanting to adopt. You need to be 21 years of age or older to adopt. If you are younger than that, a parent or guardian must sing the adoption application. This happens frequently, and we have may horses go to young riders.
~ Where is the KyEAC physically located?
Answer: Our physical address is 1713 Catnip Hill Road, Nicholasville, KY 40356
~How much does it cost to take care of a horse at the center?

~How do I donate to you?
Answer: It's easy! You just click on the donate button found throughout our website, or simply just go to our donate page. You can also go to our facebook page and click on the blue donate button. In addition to financial donations, we also appreciate in-kind donations which can be found on our wish list page. We also accept donations of your used tack and things of that kind.

~ If I choose to adopt, is there an agreement or contract that I have to sign?
Answer: Yes, an adoption contract is drawn up and one of the requirements of the contract is that a veterinary check be completed at six months and twelve months. We will send a form to you at both of these times. At the end of the twelve months, if the vet checks are satisfactory, then the center sends the adopter a transfer letter. If things do not work out within the first year, the Adopter is required to return the horse to the center.

text: You should see if they'll let you do an at-home test. That's what I did, and it was simple and easy and I got to sleep at home and now I have a gorgeous CPAP machine that makes sure I don't die younger than I should. I don't know why they don't do these more often, but if they let you I would definitely recommend it.

Student leader found guilty of defacement
Announcing himself as the president of GGDSD College, Sector 32, through posters pasted in various parts of the market, came at a heavy price for Basant Singh Sandhu, a student leader convicted by a local court for defacement.chandigarh Updated: Sep 04, 2014 13:19 IST
Announcing himself as the president of GGDSD College, Sector 32, through posters pasted in various parts of the market, came at a heavy price for Basant Singh Sandhu, a student leader convicted by a local court for defacement.
Sandhu, a resident of Phase 11, SAS Nagar was directed to pay Rs 500 as penalty for defacement after he was pronounced guilty under West Bengal Prevention of Defacement of Property Act on August 27.
Sandhu, who booked for defacement on August after his posters claiming he was GGSD College president were pasted in Sector 34 market.
Sandhu's is not an isolated case: he was booked by the UT police as part of drive against defacement. In August, the UT police had registered 200 cases of defacement at various police stations in the city. The police then filed a chargesheet against various persons who accepted their guilt and were convicted on basis of their confession.
On August 29, the court convicted Phool Chand, a resident of Kajheri village, Chandigarh, who was booked on August 23 after he was caught sticking posters on the walls of SCO no 80-81-82, Sector 34-C, Chandigarh of Rajat Cheema, also of GGDSD College. The court convicted him and imposed a penalty of Rs 500.
Similarly, Vir Vikramjit Singh, a resident of Sector 34, Chandigarh, was convicted on August 29 after the police booked him after posters of Manu Tailors and GATE Engineers Career Group were seen affixed outside his shop.
Baljinder Singh of Phase 10, SAS Nagar, was also convicted on August 29 for defacement for sticking posters on an electricity pole near college Road Sector 46, Chandigarh, announcing availability of 'PG for Girls' posters on August 22.
It is pertinent to mention that the cases were registered after a report regarding each case was sent by the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation to the DC office, which ordered the police to register a criminal case against the offenders. Almost half of the 200 cases registered were related to various student leaders, their supporters or associates. This is the first-of-its-kind development in which the police have been asked to register so many cases at one time for defacing the city.
The MC's enforcement has gathered these 200 cases in the past one month. Besides student leaders, cases related to illegal advertisements of to-lets, commercial advertisements of private coaching institutes, trade, PGs and cellular companies have also been included.
This mammoth exercise was undertaken by MC in wake of a petition regarding blatant violations in city pending before the Punjab and Haryana high court in which MC was to give details of action taken against defacers.

As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I usually have my best thoughts in the bathroom. Okay, okay, I meant in the shower or while brushing my teeth. I'm a woman, I don't have other bodily functions.
Anyway, I was brushing my teeth and I started laughing about the fact that I write the "news" section of my website as if I'm someone is writing it for me, like an assistant, or a manager or something... "Jessica just booked a..." I don't know why that made me laugh so hard, but it did. Yeah, it's all me writing, updating, etc... my assistant is too busy getting me starbucks, rubbing my feet and refilling my mimosa. :) Happy Wednesday.

Teaching and Coaching Golf with Jason Sutton
Here is my presentation from last years "Guru Workshop" that I hosted at Carmel CC. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share. You never know, you might be asked to speak at the next one
I am excited to announce that for the 3rd year, I will be hosting my teaching workshop at Carmel CC on Monday, March 31st. I started this workshop 3 years ago where I presented by myself. Year 2 I started to add top teachers like John Graham to come and present which brought it to whole other level. This year I am proud to be joined by Andrew Rice, Director of Instruction at Berkeley Hall in Hilton Head, SC. This will make for an exciting, interactive learning experience for all involved. The cost is 200.00 per person which includes lunch and (8) MSR Credits. The Theme of this year is: "Using todays technology and research with yesterdays language to help your students improve"
I have already had quite a response from pros from different states but I hope that the pros in the Carolinas take advantage of this outstanding educational opportunity. Here is more about your speakers and what will be covered:
Jason Sutton, Jason is the Director of Instruction at Carmel CC in Charlotte, NC and is the 2013 Carolinas PGA Section Teacher of the Year, will be hosting a workshop designed to take your teaching and coaching skills to the next level.

Hope to see you at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show!
One of my favorite things to do in this business is to help young teachers perfect their craft. At the Carmel Golf Academy part of my training regimen is to observe my teachers and to video tape their lessons and watch them back with them. This is not an exercise to put them down or make them feel bad but to give them constructive criticism to help them improve. One of the biggest things that I had to learn as a new teacher was not to try to tell the student everything that I knew, which at the time wasn't much! This is something that I preach to my staff constantly is knowing what to say, the language you use to say it and making sure you are 100% engaging the student and allowing them give you feedback. Most teachers talk to much in order to boost their ego and show the student that they know stuff which is not productive and definitely not a great way to gain the trust of the student. To gain the trust of the student you must LISTEN to them, carefully describe what you want them to learn and be open to positive or negative feedback in order to tailor the learning to the student. Results have to be a mutual decision or you may believe that they got better but if they don't believe it then you've lost them. Check you EGO at the door coaches. So this article has nothing about the who has the best philosophy, or the certifications that you have acquired or who can read the trackman numbers the fastest…..This is about how do you deliver the most understandable message with the least amount of babble to get the quickest results from the lesson. That to me is what the great teachers do for the students I am sure you will agree from your lesson experience.
I was teaching a beginning women's clinic the other day and invited one of my teachers to assist me. After the clinic was over, I asked him to evaluate me. He said,"I am always amazed about how little you give them but always make them improve and excited." He said that before he thought he was cheating the student if he didn't tell them or work on more stuff. I can see his point but the goal of the lesson is to improve and not to overload them with information. They will ask enough questions to keep you busy and even then you have to keep from self overload.
I googled "Teachers talking too much" and this is what I found: a part of the article –
It gets better–research has shown that students taught by active learning, on average, score a grade and a half higher than those who learn in traditional (boring) ways.
But, most teachers do not do use active learning. Why? I wish I knew.
Perhaps it is as Geoff Petty said so eloquently in his short explanation on active learning(doc file):
Interesting… as this pertains to the classroom teachers but how can we apply this to teaching golf.
So we start with understanding how people learn the fastest. 1)Doing – feel 2)seeing – visual 3)hearing – auditory
So if the this is the priority of how people learn, why do we do #3 the most? hmmm. Because it is easy to tell someone but maybe more difficult to give them the other two which are more important. So here are some ideas on how to "Talk Less and Guide Learning Faster" and students pay attention because your coach needs you to give great feedback as well.
1. Interview well – Ask open-ended questions and be observant. I have a big list of questions that I ask a student in the interview but the big 3 are as follows 1)What is your main goal and what does it look like (specific) What is your big ball flight miss (shot that they can't survive) and 3) What are you trying to do" (their model) close 4th is physical limitations of course. As they answer your questions (don't interrupt or try to help them) observe where their eyes go and how they stand. kinesthetic players look down and visual players look up. Auditory players may go all over the place. Are they favoring one side and what are they wearing? (more on that later) This observation continues throughout the lesson as you explain, model or manipulate….notice where they are looking and continue to ask questions. Do they close their eyes or keep them open as you move them?
2) Watch Your Language – Every lesson is a presentation. After I video tape their motion and we are going through the swing, CHOOSE your language carefully and MEET them where they are. By now you should know the students background, who they have had lessons from (which is why you should study all methods), occupation and sports history so this should help you in explaining what exactly what you want them to see. (key) Don't point out every fault or strange movement in their motion but only the things that you want them to see and that you want to focus on in that lesson. Especially people who this is their first time that they have seen their swing, it can be overwhelming so be careful. Depending on their lesson experience and background you will know the words you can use or can't use. The average golfer isn't going to know what the 3rd accumulator, p4 or spin loft means so you are constantly checking for understanding. "Do you understand what this plane line is for?" Use language that they can relate to without the ums, uhs and kind of's so it is clear and concise. I highly recommend that you listen to your video analysis emails that you send to your students for evaluation to help you improve your presentation. So meet them where they are.
3) Learn To Model and Manipulate Properly – Once I have explained what we are going to work on, I either Model (visual) or Manipulate (kinesthetic). Neither of these exercises require a ton of verbage which is nice. In my opinion, manipulating or moving a student into the correct positions is a lost art. If you are standing behind the trackman or the video and telling the player to move a certain way and getting in there and moving the student around then you are doing them a disservice. I teach this to my staff. Where to stand and proper hand placement. When to exaggerate and when to be perfect. It is hard to explain without video or actually doing it but there is what I call shaft control and body control and they must be done correctly or the student will get poor feedback. Doing this in a mirror helps as well. I also recommend (PNF) which is moving the student in opposite direction of the error and having them to resist. This gives them the feedback that they need to move in a positive direction which ingrains the change much quicker. Moving them allows for the student to give you feedback on how it feels to them and that is invaluable. I don't care what they say or how they explain it, that is the language that I use in the lesson because that it how they relate to it which is most important. (Less Talking More Listening)….starting to make sense. Modeling is simply demonstrating by hitting a shot or doing it slowly (my recommendation). Can be helpful for the student to see it in action.
I know this is more for the coaches but it is important for students to give great feedback and let your coach know what you want, how you learn the best and when you don't understand something. A great teacher can use all that information by explaining it a different way so that you can understand it. Because you, the student are the most important part of this equation and if you feel you are getting left out you need to speak up.
Coaches: make it a point to tape yourself giving some lessons this off-season and make it a learning tool because I will be doing the same in order to improve. If we don't get better, the game doesn't grow.

Recently I attended our Carolinas section Teaching Summit at Myrtle Beach. Our feature spreaker was Michael Breed. You might have seen him of the Golf Channels "golf fix". You know…."The let's do this" guy. I was interested to see him because you never know how people are in real life as opposed to a television show. I have to tell you that I was presently surprised at some of the things that he shared in his talk. I am always resectful to the guys that are up on stage because I would love to be that guy someday sharing information to other professionals and giving back to the section. So as long as I am in the audience, I try to approach with an opn mind for learning. There are different ways that teachers can do a presentation (teaching theory or motivational). Michael was definitley leaning towards the motivational side of things. So here is how it went.
He opened up his talk by showing a video of himself with people that he had met through his career in golf while he blasted a country song called "I'm a lucky man" which I thought was interesting. He started out with a quote by Chuck Swindoll that states:
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes." – Chuck Swindoll
Be a Socratic Teacher: definition of "the Socratic Method of Teaching : His most important contribution to Western thought is his dialogical method of enquiry, known as the Socratic method or method of elenchos, which he largely applied to the examination of key moral concepts and was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. For this, Socrates is customarily regarded as the father and fountainhead for ethics or moral philosophy, and of philosophy in general.
The Socratic method is a negative method of hypotheses elimination, in that better hypotheses are found by steadily identifying and eliminating those which lead to contradictions. The method of Socrates is a search for the underlying hypotheses, assumptions, or axioms, which may unconsciously shape one's opinion, and to make them the subject of scrutiny, to determine their consistency with other beliefs. The basic form is a series of questions formulated as tests of logic and fact intended to help a person or group discover their beliefs about some topic, exploring the definitions or logoi (singular logos), seeking to characterise the general characteristics shared by various particular instances. To the extent to which this method is designed to bring out definitions implicit in the interlocutors' beliefs, or to help them further their understanding, it was called the method of maieutics. Aristotle attributed to Socrates the discovery of the method of definition and induction, which he regarded as the essence of the scientific method. Oddly, however, Aristotle also claimed that this method is not suitable for ethics.
A skillful teacher can actually teach students to think for themselves using this method. This is the only classic method of teaching that is known to create genuinely autonomous thinkers. There are some crucial principles to this form of teaching:
The teacher and student must agree on the topic of instruction.
The student must agree to attempt to answer questions from the teacher.
The teacher and student must be willing to accept any correctly-reasoned answer. That is, the reasoning process must be considered more important than facts.
The teacher's questions must expose errors in the students' reasoning or beliefs. That is, the teacher must reason more quickly and correctly than the student, and discover errors in the students' reasoning, and then formulate a question which the students cannot answer except by a correct reasoning process. To perform this service, the teacher must be very quick-thinking about the classic errors in reasoning.
If the teacher makes an error of logic or fact, it is acceptable for a student to correct the teacher.
****I think all great teachers are a form of this. Ask better questions and get better answers.
He then talked about the importance of playing lessons and helping golfers get from the range to the golf course. Here are some mental ideas that might help coaches and players alike:
1. The Law of possibility – He makes the student aware of all of the possible outcomes of each shot and then gets them to focus on the desirable one. ex. it could go left , it could go right but it could also fly at the target
2. If Don't / Then Don't – very simple strategy that I teach as well. If you find yourself thinking " don't do something", then don't hit the shot. start your routine over.
3. What you tell yourself doesn't have to be true, As long as you believe it. (anyone think of Seinfeld here?). ex. I am the greatest athlete in the world.
4. Try to put the student in pressure situations: ex. crowded first tee or the last hole of a good round. Then you have a chance to help them
5. Watch your language: Do not say if, only say when!
I didn't realize that his teaching specialty was putting. He considers himself a putting teacher and the tour players that he has worked with come to him for putting info. Likes the old school putting books by Horton Smith (which I own and highly recommend), Willy Park, Bobby Lock. Horton Smith was the first one to discuss hooding or delofting the putter. We know this as a forward press. Michael did a series of tests with different lofted putters and measured the distance. The less loft, the greater the distance the ball rolled because of the contact point on the ball. The more forward the shaft leans, the higher the contact point and better the roll. He recommends 3 degrees of forward shaft lean at impact. He likes the shoulders slightly open to help see the line and the eyes just inside the ball. He doesn't believe in an arc or plane in putting either. So to conclude, he shared his story of how he got to be where he was.
The Whole Story
15 years ago he visited the local newspaper and they let him start to write some golf tips. He then visited a local radio show and offered to do some radio and they gave him a show. In the process he talked a local TV station into letting him do a golf tip on the news. He realized that he was pretty good on tv and he put together a pilot video for show. He submitted it to the Golf Channel 8 years ago and they said no. A few years passed and the Golf Channel gets bought out and wants to create new programming. They find his tape and say, this is our guy. They want to do the show on Tuesdays but he couldn't do it because he had to do his job at the club. His owners were looking to cut his budget by 25%. He goes to the owners and says, I will cut my salary 25% if you will give me Tuesdays off. They thought he was the greatest. The rest is history. So if you think that he is an overnight success, you are wrong. He just got after it and made things happen. That is what I admire about him the most. Thats why he is up on stage and I was in the audience. I enjoyed the presentation and I hope you enjoy this recap.

In the midst of another P.G.A. Merchandise show, I think for those who don't participate just don't know what they are missing. I enjoy seeing the new products and gadgets but that is not why I attend. I make the trip to Orlando to network with other professionals and friends in hopes to find a few nuggets or ideas that will help me guide my students when I get back. My students can't wait for me to get back because I always have some great information and stories to tell that will enhance their golf games. Information is not just going to jump in your lap. It is not going to knock you down and crawl all over you. You must be a seeker and sometimes it takes courage to learn something new because we are all afraid of being wrong. For all you zen lovers, "You must be an empty cup". I have attended the top 100 Golf Magazine party with my boss for the last 7 years and I always set a goal to meet a new teacher that I admire and be prepared to ask an intelligent question when you get that opportunity, because it could be a small window. This takes courage (and maybe a few glasses of wine,shh!). Your networking moment may happen when you least expect it. Here is a story: Last year an editor friend of mine asked if I would stop by the Cricket of Arms" pub for a pint because he wanted me to meet his good friend, Craig Shankland. For those of you who don't know Craig, he is a legend in the teaching and playing game. Top 50 teacher and just a great guy. In the first five minutes he could tell how passionate about coaching that I was and he was gracious enough to share valuable information about his teaching and great stories about his good friend, Moe Norman which was priceless. We talked for about 2 hours over a few pints of Guiness and it was awesome. I shared with him my goals and this was the two pieces of advice that I received:
1) Keep writing as much as possible because that is what keeps your ideas fresh and your brain thinking and growing.
2)Pay attention: MAKE YOUR PLAYERS MULTI-DIMENTIONAL (He is very old school and teaches many LPGA players). He said that you have to be able to adjust to every lie and can't fall in love with just one swing plane. He doesn't use video very much and takes his students out on the course for the majority of the lessons to greater prepare for all of the different shots that make up a round of golf. (The Ultimate In Coaching)
The time I spent with Mr. Shankland was the highlight of my trip for sure so keep your eyes open for opportunities for learning and growing. I will be forever greatful for the time that he spent with a nobody teacher like me. I hope that someday I can be that person sharing all that I have learned to a young, hungry professional.
To succeed as coaches we must be versitile and know when to teach and when to coach.
Here are some quotes from Tiger Woods. Maybe he needs to reread these to get back to the days when he was free to self-discover.
"My lie dictates the shot I will play"
"I always listen to my body"
"Some days when I warm up I am hitting the ball low, other days I am hitting the ball high. some days the ball is drawing, other days it is fading. i just play what i am doing that day"
"Today when I practice I like to play games-in fact I like to practice more than play on the course. I still try lots of different things, just like I did with my Pop"
"We always practiced together seeing who could make the most 5 foot putts"
"As a child the club and the ball became my playmate"
"Ultimately golf is a journey-full of learning and discovery"
"On normal shots, I swing 75% of my power, on longer shots I swing at 90%. If I go all out, I do not make solid contact-which is most important."
"There are no shortcuts- golf requires patience and perseverance, with a yearning for learning. Accepting the fact that it is a game of ups and downs and learning every time you play"
"when I play-it is almost as if I get out-of-the-way and just let it happen. I let it happen, I do not make it happen."
"I won 12 times in the year 2000, including 3 majors and I only remember hitting one shot I would call perfect. It was the 3 wood on #14 in the third round of the British Open at St. Andrews. AS with every shot I attempt, I visualize that ball flight and the shot turned ou exactly s I had planned. Moments like that stay fresh in my mind, providing a positive image for future reference."
"I will always be respectful and gracious to opponents-but I want to win, to beat you by a lot, to beat you bad.
I look forward to hearing about your P.G.A. Show learning moments. What are you waiting for……GO FOR IT!

See you on the lesson tee,
What is your teaching philosophy? What do you consider a successful golf lesson? How do you know if the student gets it? These are all questions that should keep coaches up at night, I know it does me at times. How do we improve our teaching process in order to help the student learn more efficiently. One of my mentors, Martin Hall, told me once,"If the student gets better, good teacher, if they get worse, bad teacher,". I believe this is true as there are many ways to reach a goal. I am sure if we put all the top coaches in a room together and gave them the same student, we would surely get a myriad of answers, fixes and directions in which we would take them. We all have our opinions that we stand behind (methods/non-methods) but how do we really know. On my continued quest to become the best coach that I can be, I am going to do a series of posts that hopefully will be thought-provoking and cause you to consider your philosophy (RIGHT OR WRONG) and how to improve it. The key to learning is to have an open mind and be ready for new information. So here we go! In the age of technology with (trackman, k-vest, video analysis and 3 d simulators) and updated information about ball flight laws (the d-plane, cp release vs. cf release, angular momentum and hsp vs. vsp, stack and tilt, morad, one plane, two plane etc ) and new equipment and training aids, we have more information as coaches that can help the student through the learning process than ever before. The ability to apply the information that you have learned or memorized is the key. Because without positive results, what good is the information. It just makes us feel smart or educated. The key is not to leave out the most important factor, "The Student". I teaching has always been built around a student centered approach, whatever you teach this is the most important. I am reading an interesting book written by Michael Hebron, whom I greatly admire, called "Play Golf To Learn Golf". There is so much information that he has researched that it would be impossible to share all of it so I want to give you a few nuggets that will describe his philosophy on what he calls "Playful Learning."
Whatever I know, or what I am given credit for knowing is not very much when compared to what could be known (I am going to put this on my bulletin board for sure). To keep investigating, looking for "the yet uncovered," to help people grasp unfamiliar concepts so they can make progress, is my philosophy.
Mr. Hebron states:
Are the wheels turning yet, let's see if this helps. Here are some random thoughts on "Playful Learning"
The main thing that Mr. Hebron is trying to convey is:
Ask the right questions, Listen to the student and always keep the student involved in the learning process and we can all say that we gave it our best effort as coaches. Be careful of the language that we use, the pictures that we create and the expectations that we put on our students. I have plenty more to discuss but I will let you all digest this and talk amonst yourselves. Remember, they don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Keep caring and we will all figure this thing out together.

See you on the lesson tee,
1. Keep your head down – The head must be allowed to move somewhat during the swing. A steady head might be more appropriate. The amateur eyes might see the head raise up but remember it is attached to the body. Maintain a consistent spine angle and let your head follow your ball flight to create freedom in your follow through. Otherwise you will be looking at the ground and still killing worms.
2. Tuck your rear elbow on your backswing – This one started with someone watching Hogan swing. Even he had some space under his right arm in the backswing. Tell Fred Couples, Jack Nicklaus, Angel Cabrera or our recent PGA Tour winner, Carl Pettersen to tuck their right elbow and you will ruin their career. Width in the swing is created with a wide right arm in the takeaway. Save the tucking for the downswing when the swing gets narrow.
3. Keep your left arm straight – Tension is the one of the most damaging things to a good golf swing and trying to lock your lead arm can cause this very quickly. Comfortably extended is better terminology. Keep it extended but soft. A little bend will not kill you. Once again, width is created by the right arm. If you are collapsing, try pushing out slightly with the rear arm and you will thank me later.
This is enough for you to chew on for the time being. There are so many more that I will discuss and probably do a show about in the near future. My advice to you is to make sure that when you get a tip that it 1) makes sense in a sound golf philosophy and 2) applies to your error tendencies. An educated student should know what these are. If you don't, please see a reputable teacher/coach that can help you organize and understand your errors and put together a plan to fix them. Until then….. Don't Forget To Breathe (the best place is when you get ready to take it away)
See you on the lesson tee,
I went to the Carolinas P.G.A. show this past Monday and Tuesday to attend our annual meeting and to see Hank Haney speak at our section teaching summit. I thought it was great to hear from one of our premier instructors who teaches the best player on the planet (Tiger Woods) and the worst (Charles Barkley). This post is as much for the teachers (if any teachers read this I am flattered) as for the players. I think understanding what makes a great teacher can help you in your search for a teacher to work with. If your teacher or coach doesn't have these qualities or isn't working to improve, find another teacher! This post is also for the student that hasn't worked with me and wants to get some insight on what to expect. Here are some hightlights from Hank Haney ; Continue reading "Hank Haney and My New Favorite Training Aid"

What if I said during that year you'd lose sleep, lose money, and lose all confidence in yourself until you rocketed past rock bottom into a pit of metaphorical magma?
Still pumped?
If you are, fantastic, because that means you've got what it takes to be the next version of one of our greatest Just One Dime success stories.
This Just One Dime member (we'll call him Bobby McGee) boasts one of the most accelerated, yet insanely difficult, growth stories of our entire community.
If you read how to find the best Amazon product to sell, you know that there's nothing instant about the research you have to do to find an item that resonates with a passionate community. But this process took Bobby McGee a month and a half. That's forty five days of researching, testing, sweating, going back to the drawing board, and doing it all over again. If there were a highway that circled the entire world, it would take you less than half that time to drive it. That's how deep he had to dig to start building his empire. It took massive commitment. But he stuck with it!
Obviously? It didn't stop there.
"Bobby" took another two months to find the right supplier, get it built the right way, tested for quality, and shipped to Amazon's fulfillment center. How many email trails do you think grow out of sixty days of hardcore grinding while you're still working hard to support yourself and your family at your day job? Let's just say it was more than five.
Once he finally had his product, his storefront, and the physical units safely stored in Amazon's fulfillment centers, the doubts set in.
What if I picked the wrong product? What if the product isn't niche enough? What if I'm just not good enough?

Frameless Glass Doors For Tub - Houses come in various sizes. Some houses are small and some are big. If you're thinking of ideas about how to produce your small house appear more ample it is possible to replace the solid doors with internal glass doors. It's fascinating as to how this works. Consider the difference a mirror makes in little bathroom. The mirror gives the room the total amount of depth and creates the chimera of more space. Additionally, it creates the impression of light and makes the bathroom look a lot lighter naturally.
A theory that is similar works for glass doors. When a solid door has been installed you're essentially saying your trail ends where the door starts. A barricade for everyone who wants to enter continues to be placed. With a glass door, it is possible to see that there's more room on the opposite side thereby adding to the chimera of more space.
You will take it seriously since you can not see what's on the other side in case you consider it, when someone tells you the room behind a sturdy wooden door is forbidden. If a person says the room supporting the glass door is forbidden you wouldn't find it as intimidating. Why? You can see what's around the different side.
Keeping that in mind you comprehend just how much more space you really have. A contemporary vibe is additionally given by the glass doors to the setting of the room and house. Most modern components revolve around space and minimalism. Glass doors will also be a great method of adding natural light to a room without adding more windows. The light illuminates the encircling walls and reflects through the glass. Except the window is in the door it's the same as having windows.

Angela Hamilton's earliest memory of her father, Pal Rozsy, is of flying fists. She can see him, bent over in a doorway of their home, beating their mother. She and her sister, aged around seven and eight, pummel his broad, powerful back in their attempt to save her.
Many of Angela's childhood memories are like this, steeped in the trauma of his abuse.
"He'd have no problem caning us or hitting us or kicking us in the backside," Angela told Mamamia's No Filter podcast. "And punishing us in a form of power, where you'd kneel in the corner for two hours and then write 500 lines, like 'I must remember to open the gate.'"
They weren't the only target of Pal's fury.
Listen to the incredible story of how Angela learned the truth about her father. (Post continues below.)
"You couldn't turn a page in a newspaper or walk past a Jewish person in the street without my father cursing," Angela said. "If we were watching TV and a Jewish person came on the screen, he would catapult out of his chair and shake his fist in violent anger."
Pal's antisemitism was deep, "rabid". But Angela and her siblings dared not ask where it came from. She knew that her father lived in Europe during WWII, was imprisoned at some point, and had then travelled to Australia as a Hungarian refugee. Beyond that, very little was clear about his past.
There were odd clues. In their home, a framed black-and-white photograph showed him standing in front of Messerschmitt fighter plane, the kind used by the Nazi Luftwaffe. On the back, it was dated 1941 – the year Hungary became an ally of Nazi Germany. The picture was displayed openly, almost defiantly.
"That was, in a way, a metaphor for [his attitude of] 'I can do and say and what I want to. But don't you ask me questions,'" Angela said.
It's only now, after Pal's death at age 89, that she's been able to do just that via the SBS documentary program, Every Family Has a Secret. And the answers revealed him to be more monstrous than she ever knew.
Armed with the discovery of her father's wartime I.D. documents, Angela went to Romania to enlist the help of experts in Jewish history to unravel his story. There, she learned that Pal was a Hungarian nationalist, and that he was imprisoned and tortured for treason by the Romanians in 1939. His release a year later came amidst Hungary's reclamation of former territory from Romania, which it won with Germany's help.

The Doors Essay, Research Paper
Poet William Blake once said "If The Doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite" (Gilmore 34). From this quote arose a band that even over 20 years after its disbanding still is played and remembered. The Doors started as a little garage band in California back in the early sixties. They were extremely popular due to their lead singer, Jim Morrison. Morrison himself was a real character. Morrison is considered by many critics a modern day poet. Others view him in a different light, George Will wrote "Morrison resembled Byron in one aspect, they both were mad, bad, and dangerous to know" (Will 64). Still others view him as a hero of the 'counterculture'. He was a sort of 'Peter Pan', one of those boys who never grew up. Morrison basically was The Doors. His blatant disregard for law and order made him a very well known figure. He was arrested on a few occasions for charges ranging from inciting riots to indecent exposure. He was also notorious for his drug use and alcohol abuse. His poetry though, justified his lifestyle. There were also three other members of the band: Ray Manzarak (keyboards), John Densmore (drummer), and Robby Krieger (guitarist). They all made up The Doors, but after the death of the lead singer Jim Morrison, the band's popularity dropped significantly. They did though produce three albums after Morrison's untimely demise (all of which were not very popular). Jim Morrison died on July 4th, 1971, in Paris, France. He was 27 years old at the time of death (the same age Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin died at also). He was found in his bathtub with a cute smirk on his face. He had finally "broke through to the other side"(Gilmore 35).
The Doors were known for their style of rebellious, psychedelic rock. Their music is poetry (written by Jim Morrison) set to music. Morrison also had many books published just of his poetry. Although not all of The Doors music was written by Morrison, ninety percent of it was. The band was considered a guru by the youngsters of the sixties, and a scourge by the public. The band seemed to fuse music, drugs, and idealism as a way to reform and even redeem a troubled society (Gilmore 34). They were much like the other bands that were emerging in the sixties, but different in one major way. They looked at prospects of hedonism and violence, revolt and chaos, and seemed to embrace these feelings without shame (Gilmore 35). The band confronted the truth about the troubled youth of the day, and knew that they were living in dangerous times. The Doors used their music to convey a sense of peacefulness while at the same time would bring about a chaotic feeling against the norm of society. The music itself it astounding. Morrison uses symbolism and abstract lyrics to create mental pictures in the listener's imagination. Jim Morrison led The Doors to break all established boundaries of music in that era, boundaries that society of that day had set. He used his lyrics to talk about death, drugs, homicide, suicide, and even incest, subjects that went against everything that era stood for. While other singers of the time were preparing the people for a world of hope and peace, The Doors were making music for a ravenous and murderous time through exilirating sound (Gilmore 33). Morrison quite often opened his shows with the line "I don't know about you, but I intend to get my kicks before this whole fucking shithouse explodes" (Gilmore 35). This total disregard for authority and psychedelic structure led The Doors to be known as what they are today.
Morrison had a way of conveying mental pictures to the listener even if the pictures had nothing to do with each other. Unlike most songs, Morrison didn't need a major theme or some type of main idea to center his lyrics around. This way each listener gets a different picture of the same song in his or her head. This idea to many is confusing but if you have ever heard the song The Soft Parade by The Doors you will understand the concept completely. The Soft Parade has as much to do with parades as it does with doing your taxes. In one sense though, it is like a 'parade' of images through your mind. The song starts out with the line "When I was back in seminary school, there was a man there who put forth the proposition that you could petition the Lord with prayer, petition the Lord with prayer". From there Morrison works his magical lyrics in to a slow, acoustical guitar background. He then asks the listener if "you could give him sanctuary…a place to hide". Then after a few more questions the beat totally changes and so does the tone of Morrison's voice. He is no longer worried for his safety but is singing about "…peppermint mini skirts…and a girl named Sandy…". Then, just as before the beat totally changes and Morrison's attitude does just as before. This time though he really goes into some heavy lyrics. I personally like this part of the song best, due to his abstractness of reality and his vague lyrics with great resolution. "Catacombs, Nursery bones, Winter women- growing stones, carrying babies to the river, streets and shoes, avenues, letter writers selling news, the monk bought lunch". As you can see here these are astounding lyrics. They have nothing in common but they do sound great together. After this verse is when the real heavy keyboards, drums and guitars kick in. "This is the best part of the trip…this is the trip, the best part…yeah…" Morrison says in such a way you have to believe him. "…Welcome to the Soft Parade…all are lives we sweat and save, buildin' for a shallow grave, must be somthin' else we say, somehow to defend this pace, everything must be this way…". This is an actual theme that just kind of 'pops' out of nowhere. Even though it has nothing to do with anything else Morrison has been sing, it goes with the song perfectly. After this line he goes back to his original style of abstract lyrics. "The Soft Parade has now begun, listen to the engines hum, people out to have some fun, cobra on my left- leopard on my right…". This is another great line by Morrison. It gives us great mental imagery while the lyrics seem to flow together. "…The lights are getting brighter, the radio is moaning, calling to the dogs, there are still a few animals- left out in the yard, and its getting HARDER, to describe…". This is where you get an idea of where the origins of this song are. This clearly depicts a really hard LSD hallucination. It gives the listener at this point an incite into where Morrison is coming from. The next few lines Morrison does in a way that adds to this feeling as well. Morrison sings them in three different ways, with very little difference, and records them track over track. This way it sounds like three Morrisons are singing and all sound different. He also lets his voice change from the center channel stereo to the right, then the left, then back into center channel again. Those who don't have 'quad' on their stereo or 'surround sound' really miss out on this feature. Then, while there is still three Morrisons singing, they all take on their own paths. One continues with the song, one just is way out there going off about something you cannot really understand (but to him it must be important judging by his tone), and then over top of all this comes Morrisons classic 'poet' voice booming and echoing throughout the listeners head. "When all else fails, we can whip the horses eyes, and make them sleep, and cry". Then the song (voices still going) fades out to nothing. Without hearing this song you cannot really understand or comprehend it. As for the name of it (The Soft Parade), I think it has more than one meaning. One meaning is the 'parade' of images Morrison puts out to the listener. Another is the 'parade' of different types of songs within a song. Or maybe it refers to life itself, a sort of 'parade' of all 'parades'. I guess well never truly know, since the writer has gone on. Even though if he was here I don't think he could give us a true definition of this song. He would probably give us some line that would just make it even more confusing.
Stoned Immaculate is a poem set to music. The lyrics don't go with the music as does a regular song. They are just a kind of 'background' for Morrisons poetry. "I'll tell you this, no eternal reward but, forgive us now for wasting the dawn". This is a sort of opening of this track. The music slows and the poetry part starts:
Back in those days everything was more simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier I ran into two young girls.
The blonde was called freedom, the dark one enterprise.
We talked and they told me the story.
Now listen to this, I'll tell you of Texas radio and the big beat,
soft driven slow and mad like some new language,
reaching you head with the cold sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heart ache and the loss of God,
Wandering, wandering, in hopeless night.
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars,
out here we is stoned immaculate…This song has many symbolic lines within it. When Morrison refers to freedom and enterprise, he refers to his way of life (freedom) and societys (the 'dark one' enterprise). "Let me tell you about heart ache and the loss of God". Another line which depicts Morrisons lifestyle. He was obsessed with death and "The End". He also seems to think his life is a dead end with no meaning in a cold world that doesn't even care. In the line "Out here in the perimeter, there are no stars…" shows his view of himself as a lesser than man being, hopeless, without anything, even stars. But the one thing he has that society can't take away, the only thing he has to show for himself, his own form of rebellion, is his 'high' – "Out here we is STONED IMMACULATE…"
The End is a topic Morrison loved to write about. The song itself confronts many diverse feelings and subjects, even including incest. "This is my friend, beautiful friend, the end". This is the idea which is conveyed by all of Morrisons music. "Can you picture what will be, so picturesque and free…". Morrison spent his life looking for death. I guess you could say he was born to die. "Lost in a romance, wilderness of pain…". Morrison describes his life as painful and empty, all he has is death. This is a very lifelike representation of his life. After a few more lyrics comes some more poetry. This time though it tells a story:
The killer awoke before dawn
he put his boots on
he took a face from the ancient gallery
then he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived,
then, then he…paid a visit to his brother then he,
he WALKED ON DOWN THE HALL,
And he came to a door, and he looked inside.
Father, Yes son?
I want to kill you.
Mother, yes son?
I want to fuck you. The end of the song was edited from all the albums ever written due to the standards of the day would not let them record the word 'fuck' on an album. In his poetry books and biography, though, lets us know the end of the song. This is also a very symbolic song. When he speaks of his father and mother he really is talking about other groups as a whole. Father is his representation of society as a whole. A place of law, order, and punishment. Just like the father of a household. Mother though is the more comforting things in life. She represents sympathy and compassion. His brother and sister represent us, as members in society. So actually this song doesn't really deal with incest, just on a symbolic level. This song is a statement against society, but not one that society (well at least society in Morrisons time) would understand, or try to comprehend. It was his way of getting revenge in "The End".
The Doors represent the modern day leaders in anti social music. They were the first 'rebels' long before James Dean. They made their mark in a society they didn't want to be known in. All of Jim Morrisons music is astounding. Well, all except his last few years. They had more songs that were written by band members other than him. Not to say the songs written by other band members are bad, just less like poetry and more like pop-rock. This is why I personally find The Doors music so excellent to listen to, and why it has stood the test of time for over twenty years.

Having had readone of the best apologetics books on God and the purpose of evil and suffering- If God is Good, by Randy Alcorn, I was curious to read the allegorical fiction piece, The Chasm, also by the same author. In the former book, it is clear that Alcorn has deep insight into biblical truths, and effectively delivers his biblical based message. Considering that he has proved himself as an effective apologist, I anticipated that any fictional piece of writing would be based on biblical principals, as well.
The Chasm is obviously an allegory for the story of salvation: sin, temptation, faith, free will and eternal salvation. Basically is everything is covered here in symbolic or allegorical form. The characters, places, objects and even the emotions have a symbolic counterpart to actual bible based principals and truths. The city of Charis is spiritually significant as well as Joshua, and every other element of the story. Perhaps for those readers who like liked the spiritual symbolism of the Narnia series, this story will be enjoyable as well. The hero of the story, goes on a quest to sek out truth and deliverance and is faced with the demons of his past, but also a series of choices as well- one of which is the delusion and allure of false religions-whereas just as in this world, many percieve various religions and believes as just one of many ways to attaining truth. Modern and real life misconceptions are brought to life in a palatable, allegorical form , that may perhaps speak out to the secular and non religious reader as well as Christians. Issues of justice, and injustice, human imperfection and sin are addressed. In fact, briefly, some of Alcorns philosophies and truths about injustice and suffering as well as its purpose are woven into this story. Even for those readers who do not neccessarily enjoy the symbolism of this story or the allegorical nature if this piece of work, will appreciate the biblical insights of wisdom. Although it is obvious to any bible reader this allegory is based on Christian truths, this book may be an effective outreach method for those non Christian readers who are not religious- yet conscientious of spiritualism and philosophy and self introspection.
Within the text are simple child-like black and white illustrations- remeniscent of cartoon or comic book art. The end of this story includes some study questions which may shed light onto the specifics of the symbolism for those readers unfamiliar with the bible. As a blogger for Multnomah books I recieved a copy of this book for the purpose of writing this review.

Unbreakable belief. That's the mantra you'll often hear spoken to students as you walk through the Champion Academy "locker rooms" (classrooms). The 12-month mentoring and empowerment program was started by NFL Super Bowl Champion and East High School alumnus Roland Williams. This year, with the help of a $25,000 grant from the ESL Charitable Foundation, the program will assist more than 500 at-risk students in realizing their full potential. Students will walk away with the unbreakable belief that will develop the necessary leadership skills required for their self-development, as well as the well-being of the Greater Rochester community.
This year's program began with a two-week summer academy at Charlotte High School, where students were provided an introductory dose of inspiration and motivation to help achieve long-term success. The year-long program educates young boys and girls, ages 10-17, in a broad range of topics including conflict resolution, leadership, civic responsibility, social etiquette, time management, nutrition, and financial literacy.
Several ESL employees were on-site in late July to help lead "Financial Literacy Day." ESL employees and Academy staff greeted students with a warm champion welcome as they arrived at camp. In fact, this champion welcome is the norm for each day of the summer academy – all designed to help the students feel the warmth and welcome that they may not receive in their home lives.
After lunch, students moved inside to hear presentations on employment, financial literacy, and small business growth from ESL Federal Credit Union Consumer Prosperity Manager Ajamu Kitwana, Business Growth Manager Malik Evans, and Talent Management Recruiter Rejoyce Owusu. Their stories on financial empowerment, starting one's own business, and entering the workforce resonated with students and helped inspire them to build their future success here locally.

When asked, one student said her biggest take away from the day was "Knowing (that) the biggest crime in America – (is) identity theft – I know I can help prevent that from happening to me by checking my credit report regularly, and establishing my credit through programs like ESL."
There is not a cost to participate in the program. Instead, students are challenged to develop themselves, and pay with intangibles such as discipline, effort, consistency, and positivity. When practiced every day, these collective actions will help build the unbreakable belief for students to accomplish their dreams and achieve personal, academic, and community success.
"We're passing on these principle beliefs to help them continue to succeed," said Williams. "Everyone must get involved. It takes a community to change a community.
The $25,000 grant given to the Champion Academy is just one example of how the ESL Charitable Foundation is continuing to assist community improvement by working with local nonprofit organizations in the Greater Rochester area. To apply for funding, please submit your application.

The Nile River War is a war that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Fought on Egyptian soil between the native government and the invading Nile River Coalition, the war broke out over territorial disputes regarding the Nile River, which both sides sought to control for its water supply; a commodity following several crippling droughts in the region.
The conflict served as a proxy war between the Winslow Accord, which supported the Egyptian Army, and the Common Defense Pact, which supported the NRC. The Winslow Accord came under much criticism by the Egyptians for being notoriously lax in their support, and as of 2065, the conflict was unresolved.
Events leading up to the warEdit
Throughout the 2030s, the Nile River Coalition developed plans for several dams and water treatment plants on the Nile River and its tributaries. Although it did not yet have adequate funding to materialize these plans, it felt it was entitled build such dams on parts of the Nile River that passed through its territory. This was met with dismay from the Egyptian government and the Winslow Accord, who warned the NRC that its plans breached the Helsinki Rules.
Following strengthening ties between the NRC and the Common Defense Pact after 2039, much of the NRC's member nations were admitted into the CDP, granting them the economic stability to carry out their plans. Construction of the dams began in the early 2050s, and by the end of the decade, the construction of the dams in every NRC member nation was complete. As a direct result, Egypt received a significantly lower proportion of the Nile's water resources. Threatened by severe drought, Egypt demanded the NRC to cease its operations in the Nile; when they refused, the Egyptian government formally declared war on the NRC.
NRC invasionEdit
Initially on the offensive against the NRC, the Egyptian Army was locked in a stalemate for 4 years, until it was finally pushed back into its own territory. The NRC, which had received military backing from the CDP, launched a successful counteroffensive against the Egyptian forces in 2063 and drove them back to the capital, Cairo, where a weary and weakened Egyptian Army prepared to make its final stand. Relying primarily on D.E.A.D. anti-air systems that protected the city from aerial assault, the Egyptian forces managed to hold on to the city against the NRC's ground forces until 2064, when the NRC received leaked information from a rogue Winslow Accord operative who sought to defect to the CDP. In exchange for the leaks, the NRC took the defector in and attempted to arrange his safe passage to CDP territory.
The leaked information helped the NRC target weak points in the Egyptian military defense, including their makeshift base of operations at Ramses Station. After launching a massive ground offensive against Ramses Station, the NRC, with the help of their newfound ally, managed to disable the Egyptian Army's anti-air and secure the site. The Egyptian Army suffered massive losses and were forced into retreat.
Egyptian counteroffensiveEdit
The involvement of the rogue operative served as an incentive for the Winslow Accord to increase its support of the Egyptian Army, which had previously been very modest. A joint Egyptian Army-Winslow Accord air assault on the sub-Cairo aquifers, which had been captured by the NRC upon their arrival at Cairo, proved successful, leaving the NRC forces in the area defeated, but the aquifers were largely destroyed in the battle. Nevertheless, the NRC suffered a massive setback.
With the help of the Winslow Accord, the tide of the battle for Cairo soon turned. The NRC lost territory and fell back to the Lotus Towers, a series of massive, fortified high-rise complexes that housed thousands of civilians, which the NRC used as a makeshift forward operating base. On the 9th of June, 2064, NRC General Abasi Hakim was publicly assassinated whilst giving a speech at Lotus Towers, sparking a civilian uprising against the NRC forces. The few remaining NRC forces in Cairo were quickly overwhelmed and pushed out of the city, and the defector who had been aiding the NRC was killed in the battle. The main instigator of the uprising, Egyptian Army Lieutenant Zeyad Khalil, was captured by the NRC.
On October 25th, 2065, Egyptian Prime Minister Said was captured by the NRC and taken to a detention center in Ethiopia. Two days later, the facility was attacked by Winslow Accord special forces, who secured the Prime Minister and Lieutenant Khalil.
It is likely that the war has since turned in Egypt's favour considering the huge losses in man power the NRC endures, in addition to multiple defeats the NRC suffer against a fairly small number of WA soldiers, likely disgracing them in the eyes of the CDP. The fact that Winslow Accord special forces can conduct operations, deep within NRC territory (Ethiopia has no border with Egypt) indicates the NRC might in fact be losing territory.

Health disorder helped to create a world record
Sometimes something bad in life gives a good things out, and this would be the biggest example, as a girl who is suffering from rare health condition, is now the world's tallest teenage girl due to that condition.
According to the report, the Turkish girl, Rumeysa Gelgi, 17, is suffering from a rare health condition, called Weaver' syndrome, which causes rapid growth of body.
And this rapid growth made her the world's tallest girl at the age of seventeen by achieving a height of 213.6cm (7ft 0.09 in).
She said in a talk "It's one of my biggest dreams to be awarded this record. Being a record-holder is an amazing thing. I know that only the special people can make it and I know I'm one of them now".
But sadly due to her condition she has several problems, such as instability and difficulty in walking.

Since the summer of 1996, one of the audience-participation songs that Shannon has done has been "Shay Shay Cool Yay". After watching a Camp School staff member do it before breakfast morning, Shannon knew he had to learn it. After writing down the words he remembered, it came out like this:
Shay shay cool yay (repeat)
shay coal fee sah (repeat)
coal fee sah longa (repeat)
longa choomonga (repeat)
hey-a-lay-a-lay (repeat)
ONE MORE TIME NOW! (repeat)
Ever since then Shannon has done it that way. If you've seen it live you also know that he adds some crazy "motion" as he says each line.
Today, Shannon's "Shay Shay" world was changed forever.
This morning, Shannon and his kids were listening to "Old Joe Clark", a newer CD from Jill Trinka and John M. Feierabend. All of the sudden, Shannon heard something that sounded awfully familiar:
Kye kye, Kule (repeat)
Kye kye Kofi nsa (repeat)
Kofi nsa langa (repeat)
Kaka shi langa (repeat)
Kum adende (repeat twice)
It was the exact same song, but with the real words. Eleven years after hearing it for the first time, Shannon finds out that the words aren't just jibberish. After doing some digging, we found out that this song is actually a Ghanian childrens folk song. Who knew?
Oddwalk is going to look into getting booked on the Ghana youth rally circuit.

Country singer Gene Watson grew up in a small town in Texas and always loved music. Watson worked in an auto-repair shop and eventually began playing music in small bars. He eventually moved to Houston and formed the band Gene Watson & The Other Four and earned himself a record deal.
Watson began to be known as a household name during the 1970s. Though his first band gained some success in Houston, he ultimately decided to pursue a solo career and expand his own fan base. One of his first successful singles, "Paper Rosie" put his name on the map and earned a place as No. 3 on the charts. Watson continued to produce albums from the 70s through today, earning top 10 hits throughout the 80s. Today, he is best known for his songs "I Don't Need A Thing At All," "Pick The Wildwood Flower" and "Love In The Hot Afternoon."
