En ansiktsmask, eller mask, är ett på ansiktet anbragt föremål som döljer bärarens ansikte, eller del av ansiktet. Avsikten med masken kan till exempel vara att dölja identitet, att skydda ansiktet eller del av ansiktet eller att behandla huden.

Ordet "mask" kommer närmast medeltidslatin "masca". Det kommer ursprungligen möjligen från arabiskans "maskharah", som betyder gyckel eller upptågsmakare.

Syftet kan vara att dölja bärarens identitet, skrämma andra eller på något sätt karakterisera bäraren. Den kan vara  gjord av tyg eller målad papp eller trä , med utformad näsa och hål för ögon och mun. En halvmask kan vara ett tygstycke hängande löst ned över mun och haka.

Ansiktsmask används i olika sammanhang. Hos naturfolk används masker för religiösa eller ceremoniella ändamål och inom teaterns historia från antiken och framåt spelar ansiktsmasken en viktig roll, liksom i karnevaler i katolska länder från medeltiden och framåt.

Under 1600- och 1700-talen var det vanligt att damer i sällskapslivet bar mask för att skydda sin hy. Detta bruk upphörde, efter det att sminket blivit modernt, men masker används fortfarande bland annat vid maskeradbaler. I den kriminella världen bär man ofta halvmask vid överfall och bankrån.

Termen ansiktsmask används också för föremål som täcker ansiktet helt eller delvis för skydd, vid tillförsel i andningsorganen av syrgas eller vid anestesi, eller för annat ändamål. Det finns således ansiktsmasker av olika slag, såsom andningsskydd, svetsmask, narkosmask, dykmask, dödsmask, skyddsmask (gasmask),  slaktmask, samt masker för olika sporter, till exempel fäktmask i fäktning, målvaktsmask i ishockey samt fribrottningsmasker.

Inom arkitekturen är maskaron ett reliefornament i form av ett stiliserat grinande ansikte som flyter samman med en omgivande ornamentering.

Government Agencies Can Put Big Data to Work
15 Mar 2016 by Christine Kern
Despite all the potential of big data, it still has a relatively minor impact on government to date, largely because of skepticism regarding the initial steps toward its implementation.
A recent MeriTalk study of 150 federal IT professionals found federal agencies could save 14% with analytics programs — or approximately $500 billion — and yet only 31% of those that had launched an analytics project said they believed their data strategies would deliver.
Today's government data systems
Evolving technology and the explosion of information are transforming how business is conducted in many industries — government agencies included. They collect an array of valuable data that could provide important, actionable insights. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing information is a strategic asset to help make better decisions, better serve the community, and meet citizen needs and presidential requirements.
In fact, President Obama's new budget dedicated an entire chapter to proposals that would expand access to administration data in order to engage in big data analysis in an effort to make better use of private-sector data and employ modern statistical techniques to the analysis of various sources to provide accurate, detailed and relevant insights.
Among the current innovative and powerful government big data projects are the 1000 Genomes Project, DARPA's PROCEED project, BioSense 2.0, GenISIS and the Million Veterans Program, and the FDA's Virtual Laboratory Environment.
"The trend to see and use information as an asset is still in the 'early adoption' phase, making doing so a competitive differentiator for leading organizations. But even where information leaders have embraced this idea, there's an array of challenges to transform the idea of value into a reality that benefits the organization. Information has economic value that organizations can 'turn into money' in two ways: selling, bartering or licensing it; and by using it to reduce costs or increase revenue. Yet most information and business leaders lack the experience and tools to monetize information," asserts the Gartner report, "Seven Steps to Monetizing Your Information Assets," published October 15, 2015.
Similar skepticism was revealed in a recent IBM report, "Realizing the Promise of Big Data: Implementing Big Data Projects," which used interviews from 28 federal, state and city CIOs to uncover a widespread battle against the perception of big data as a "passing fad."
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erica Groshen, the real promise of administrative data is that it would open new avenues of research. Meanwhile, last year, Washington Sen. Patty Murray (D) and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) joined forces to sponsor a bill to create a commission to recommend ways to expand access to and use of government data in policymaking.
A report from Thought Leadership stated, "Easy and timely retrieval and analysis of related and unrelated information is crucial for government to meet and improve mission requirements that are varied across agencies. Data continues to be generated and digitally archived at increasing rates driven by Open Government initiatives, sensors, citizen interactions and program transactions. Government organizations are beginning to deploy big data technologies to analyze massive data sets in science and research as well as mine data to prevent bad actors from committing acts of terror and/or to prevent waste, fraud and abuse."
In a recent survey, sponsored by Unisys Corporation, respondents reported that big data has helped the federal government improve decision making, identify trends and quantify risk. However, staffing for those analytics projects remains a concern due to a lack of qualified candidates to meet the current demand.
"Organizations not known for their use of large volumes of data are beginning to see the potential of advanced data analytics," explains Rod Fontecilla, vice president of advanced data analytics at Unisys Federal.
Tomorrow's government data systems
"Looking to the future, the Internet of Things will have a big impact on all enterprises," says Fontecilla. "Connected devices will yield the kind of data necessary for today's — and tomorrow's — business insights and value. Having a flexible and scalable analytics platform, together with a cadre of data scientists to analyze the large volume of data, will be indispensable to get these insights."
Ultimately, the strategic and savvy use of big data analytics means reimagining not only how data is used, but also how government connects the various sources of information in a meaningful way. To find out how your government agency can benefit from the power of big data analytics, access the Gartner report, "Seven Steps to Monetizing Your Information Assets."

KANSAS MILESTONES
• Senior F Perry Ellis is only the 13th Jayhawk to reach the 1,600 point plateau, reaching the milestone at Kansas State (2/20). Ellis has 1,617 career points, which is 13th on the KU career scoring list. Earlier this season, Ellis became the 16th player in KU history to reach 700 career rebounds, currently 13th at 781. Ellis is the seven player in KU history to rank in the top 13 in both career points and career rebounds: Danny Manning (2,951 points/1,187 rebounds), Nick Collison (2,097 points/1,143 rebounds), Raef LaFrentz (2,066 points/1,186 rebounds), Clyde Lovellette (1,979 points/839 rebounds), Dave Robisch (1,754 points/815 rebounds) and Mark Randall (1,627 points/723 rebounds).

History: December 21, 1936: 1st Flight Junkers Ju-88, Most Built 2 Engine Bomber Ever
By Major Dan on	 December 21, 2015 December 21, Military, Vehicles
A Brief History On December 21, 1936, the Nazi German concept of a "schnellbomber" (fast bomber) that could outrun most fighter planes took to the air when the prototype Junkers Ju-88 made its first flight, achieving a remarkable (for the time) speed of 360 mph. Digging Deeper Modifications to the requirement for the Ju-88 centered on the insistence of the Nazi regime that the plane be capable of dive bombing instead of merely acting as a level bomber, thereby necessitating greatly strengthening the wings and structure, adding weight to the plane. The crew was increased to 4, further increasing weight…
The United Nations Outlawed Racism in 1965
By Major Dan on	 December 21, 2014 December 21, Lil' History Chips, Society
From the Series Lil' History Chips On December 21, 1965, the United Nations, often accused of being a useless organization, outlawed racism by passing The International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination. This agreement went into effect in 1969 and to date has been signed by 87 nations (somewhat less than half of nations in the United Nations). This convention called upon all member nations to "outlaw hate speech and to criminalize membership in racist organizations." Some of the nifty articles cover: methods to prevent discrimination, also in regard to immigration policies; definitions of appropriate terms; ways of resolving disputes…

New ASCO 8-Device Gateway Enables Interactive Power Equipment Management
Florham Park, N.J [July 18, 2017] – ASCO Power Technologies, the world's leading provider of critical power solutions, debuts the ASCO Model 5701 8-Device Gateway. This device aggregates critical real-time information about the status and performance of engine-generators, transfer switches, load banks, and surge protective devices. It sends this information for display on a webpage or to a building monitoring system via BACnet, Modbus, and SNMP. By consolidating information from up to 8 devices, the Gateway provides a single common interface for monitoring and managing critical power equipment in both existing and newly installed systems.
The Model 5701 collects data from transfer switches and critical power devices. It displays power equipment status and performance information through an interface that is easy to navigate and intuitive to use. It is compatible with critical power equipment from most major manufacturers, reducing the need to train personnel on multiple brand-specific systems. It can be DIN-rail mounted, wall-mounted, or installed inside automatic transfer switches and other power equipment.
Until now, power devices from separate manufacturers required separate monitoring and communications interfaces. ASCO's new Gateway streamlines both power equipment management and control by aggregating data from these devices. It compares power data to user-defined criteria, and then transmits real-time email and text alerts about power conditions and events. The Gateway also eases compliance and reduces costs by automatically generating and distributing periodic reports that comply with NFPA, CALEA, NEC®, and CMS requirements.
"The Model 5701 provides a simple platform for gaining web-enabled insight into power conditions and equipment," said Mario Ibrahim, ASCO's Director of Product Development and Innovation. "Think about the power and convenience of receiving real-time information on a cell phone … facility managers can receive email notices about power events and conditions whether they are across the building or across the world. The Gateway's rich interface allows users to monitor power equipment status, power conditions, and surge protection systems. It also allows users to drill down into equipment details and to manage ATSs, generators, and load banks interactively. It simplifies power system management by consolidating information from multiple transfer switches and connected power equipment into a single interface."
The Model 5701 utilizes the latest power management innovations from ASCO's PowerQuest® product lineup, which provides a broad range of solutions for managing device, system, facility, and multi-site power assets. ASCO products are backed by technology, support, and service that are unmatched in the industry.

I was a bit doubtful when the very first thing it instructed me to do was to go a URL that is no longer working. My BS detector was buzzing like crazy. It only got worse as the author started promising how to get what you want with the very least effort. It seemed like a setup for a bad infomercial.
For some reason, I kept listening. There was just enough real science in the book to keep me interested. I would vacillate between an icky feeling and giving Joyner the benefit of the doubt as he explains a lot about logic and how we are manipulated.
At times, I had the same feeling hearing Simpleology as when I listened to the Robert Greene book The 48 Laws of Power. I couldn't even get through that book because it wasn't written from a standpoint of how to notice if people are manipulating you. Instead, it was written as an instruction manual to manipulate others. This book too just leaves me feeling somewhat dirty at times for having listened.
You know, in retrospect, the problem I have with this book isn't the content. Had this been offered as an education on how people/governments manipulate others, it would be intriguing. My problem with it is the subtitle, The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. That subtitle positions the book as a tool to use these techniques.
I am sure that these "techniques" are an effective way to "get what you want." What I am not convinced of is whether you will be able to sleep at night after using them.
This book and books like it are biased toward distrust and abuse of others. It is a presupposition that getting what you want requires you to take advantage of others.
In the book, Joyner talks about invisible walls in our ways of thinking and it turns out I was doing that. I had already decided this was a scam so was looking for things to back up that belief.
The final section made that clear and actually gave some practical advice on how to stop manipulating your own beliefs. It turns out all the previous stuff was to give you the info to be ready to see that before giving you instruction.
In the end, this book has some useful information but it really isn't anything new. That said, repetition can be useful. The first three "books" somewhat confuse the issue in an attempt to lay the foundation for the final. Folks well educated on these subject will spend that time looking for the angle.

Why doesn't everyone putt sidesaddle ?

The videos in the last several posts are interesting. I can see where an accusation of anchoring might be a problem. Seems like you'd have to be awfully careful to be sure the end of the grip didn't appear to be touching your body or shoulder.

As I said, a lot of players just freak out when they see somebody putting side saddle. I have my own theories about why that is, but that's another story. Several thoughts: 1. Experiment

Sounds egotistical
Well, actually, when you ride a horse "conventionally", you're facing your target and using binocular vision to ride toward it. If you sit "side saddle", you're in the exact position you adopt for co

Umm.. One dude that was really good at this is the definition of anecdotal. A 2015 article and I have not seen a single side saddler since then.. Sounds like this might be the beta to the VHS..
It's actually far more that "one dude". You can go back to Snead, who won 4 times on Tour putting side saddle with an old Bullseye, you can add KJ Choi, who putted side saddle on Tour for a little while, including in the British Open, Grant Waite, who has putted this way on the Champions Tour a bit, and Randy Haag, who has been one of the better senior amateurs in the world for many, many years and the club champion at Olympic Club many times over. You can add Dechambeau, who putted side saddle for a lot of his amateur career and then did it on Tour until the USGA correctly ruled that his putter was non-conforming. And that's just at the highest levels of the game; I play a lot of state and local tournament golf, and I think you'd be surprised at how frequently I run across guys who putt side saddle.
Perhaps more to the point, anybody who uses the broomstick (Langer, Singh, Scott, McCarron, et al) is more than halfway there; they are putting with one hand and using the other as a fulcrum. For reasons of their own, they have chosen not to face the hole, but I don't think that's really particularly surprising, given three factors. One, they've been standing parallel to the line of play for their entire lives. Two, the stroke they are using gets rid of most of the biggest problems that conventional putting involves, notably finding ways to quiet the hands and wrists and staying still. And third, they are playing for big money, and they just don't have time to burn learning a new technique, especially when the one they are using has gotten rid of the problems they had with conventional putting.
And I'll add one more thing: EVERYTHING you see, even on Tour, that isn't pure "conventional" putting, from the claw to the saw to left hand low to arm lock to the broomstick and the belly putter before the anchoring ban, is an attempt to make the putting stroke more one handed and to get rid of the issue of making a relatively delicate motion with two hands. The ONLY difference between all of that and side saddle is the decision to face the hole and continue to use binocular vision while putting instead of just to line the putt up.
All of this stuff about what the Tour pros do and do not do reminds me of the story Harvey Penick tells in the The Little Red book about grip pressure; he's trying to get a student to lighten his grip pressure, and the student says, "But Arnold Palmer holds the club tightly." To which Penick replies, "Yes, and you aren't Arnold Palmer." There is a TON of stuff that I see Tour pros do successfully that I can't do; I can't hit the hop and stop chip shot from just off the green with a lofted wedge. I can't hit it 300+ off the tee anytime I need to. I can't hit a 3W off the ground consistently. I'm not very good at flop shots. I don't think it's especially surprising, or instructive, that you don't see Tour pros converting to side saddle, either. That has little, if anything, to do with me, my equipment, or how I play the game.

Trust me when I tell you that it's not even close. What you "anchor'' when putting side saddle is the elbow of the top arm, and that is perfectly legal under the anchoring rule. The top hand is no where close to being anchored, I assure you.

You're wrong, but that's ok.
(And I'm glad you mentioned the LPGA; I forgot about Natalie Gulbis and the Hammy putter, which coincided with the best golf of her career.)
We have two modern examples of "golf labs" that purport to study everything about every type of shot in order to find the most efficient way of approaching the game.
The first is in South Korea where a concerted effort started years back to train young golfers. The dominance of Korean players on the LPGA is a direct result of this effort. The coaches there are surely studying every possible method of playing the game. Yet all of the players are putting conventionally.
Second, you've got the DeChambeau thing. He says he's testing everything constantly to try to become more consistent. After trying every method he has stuck with a very upright version of the armlock stroke.
You could also include the handful of PGA Tour players who were hit hardest by the ban on anchoring. Most have adapted to armlock putting, and many aren't putting nearly as well as they were with the belly or anchored long putters.
I'm not saying there can't be evidence that it might work better for some players. I'm saying that there have been ample opportunities for it to have snuck into the game and yet it has not. It's not unreasonable to wonder why that is the case.

Plus saddle is the epitome of a trail hand push stroke, palm under, which finds a later roll. Quick top spinning, palm over, with a stick is much easier, finds top spin roll right now, not later.
This is 100% incorrect.
Most side saddle putters use a pencil grip with their right hand, and it is not one bit different than the same grip on a conventional putter. Others, like myself, have the palm behind the shaft of the putter with the shaft running down the lifelines of the palm and across the base of the fingers, usually with the index finger extended down the shaft; again, it is no different than grips used by conventional putters.
The difference is in the other hand, which, as with the broomstick, is a fulcrum rather than part of the stroke.
I am curious why you are defending this method so hard? If you like it cool but why? Honest question. Thanks.
1 hour ago, QuigleyDU said:
It is a bit odd. I would be totally fine with a simple "I putt better with this method", but the far reaching reasons as to why it's technically superior just don't align with what you see the best players in the world doing. A handful of people who have used it in the past is not at all validation for the claims they are using to support it.

Agreed, If you like it great! if you play better that way, awesome! But I have yet to see anything that I look at and say "yep, that is evidence it is the best". I don't think you can find it.
It would be like looking at Moe Norman and saying we all need to copy his swing because he was the best ball striker ever. Well he may have been but it is not evidence.

Most side saddle putters have a very erect stance (I'm 6'0 and my putter length is 47 inches) - usually more erect than most traditional putters - so your point about easier on the back is generally a point FOR sidesaddle putting, not against it. Not sure what your looking at when you say it looks twisted and painful.
My bad I thought the shoulders were not parallel to the hips and were twisted...... but I do not like how the guy in the above video Jimmy da Machine looks bent over forward lol.... can you do that for an hour without back pain..... its why I like my 41" putter putting traditional style like Rickie or Raymond Floyd.
I try and like my own posts but can't figure out how...

With all due respect, you've got it backwards. The OP asked a question, and most of the critical responses were utter nonsense, likely from people who have never made any serious study of the subject. All I have done throughout the thread is repeat the advantages; read back over the thread if you doubt this.
I, along with several others, have listed the advantages of facing the hole, using binocular vision, and rolling the ball with one hand; reread the responses to those. The most common "criticism" of side saddle putting isn't about side saddle putting at all; it's about what Tour pros do. On top of that, it is factually incorrect that "only one dude" (referring to the Pelz story) is evidence for the method. There have been several people to putt this way on Tour, and if you accept the premise that essentially every grip modification, as well as the broomstick (and the belly when it was legal) are attempts to do essentially the same thing, namely to take hand and wrist action out of the stroke, then the numbers look much different. It would be interesting right now to get a count of how many Tour pros are putting with a straight conventional grip vs some alteration to try to quiet their hands and wrists.
I'd recommend Randy Haag's blog to you; he has a piece in there from around the time that the anchoring ban was going into effect about why he didn't think you'd see side saddle on Tour any time soon, and he was right. But it isn't about the efficacy of the method; it's about other things. The major one for pros is the adjustment period; an amateur might get better almost immediately, but it would take a Tour pro the better part of a year to make the change, and they just can't afford do that. I know for a fact that Juan Elizondo has been trying to get Vijay Singh to convert to side saddle for years, and Singh just can't pull the trigger. For amateurs, the biggest issue is the reaction of others; you truly have to not care how others react, but only care how you putt, and most people just can't do that. I can, but I've been thru some stuff in my life that makes me more or less immune to how golfers react; I don't much care what anybody thinks.
I've said this several times, but I am in NO way evangelical about side saddle putting; anybody that tries it has to commit to some serious work, and also be ready for some off-the-wall reactions from other golfers, though never from good ones. If you could talk to my regular group at my club, or with the guys I play tournaments with, they'd tell you that I've never once even suggested that any of them convert. But I don't see any reason to let somebody who is interested read some of the tripe that has been written on this thread without presenting factual information about the method. Everything I've said has been said better by others with more credentials anyway, guys like Pelz, Johnny Miller, Randy Haag, Brian Manzella, and others.
Side saddle putting is about looking straight down the intended line of the putt using binocular vision, and rolling the ball with one hand with an arm swing utilizing the way your arm attaches to your shoulder; nothing more. And that's EXACTLY the way that you'd roll a ball without a club in your hand. That those things strike some as odd or ridiculous is "interesting" at best.

These are all highly subjective "advantages" as are most of the others mentioned. It is not an automatically squaring method, it is not a true SBST method, and even if it was that isn't a proven advantage. No one has posted any compelling data-driven arguments that shows it has any real advantage over a traditional stroke.
davidy1948
There is also no data-driven evidence that conventional putting is the best way to do it .....
Which leads me to wonder where the conventional style came from in the first place - who invented it and why ! Did one of those Scottish shepherds say to himself " I have to hit this ball into that tiny hole with this stick - so I'll turn sideways to my target so I can't see it at all and use both hands to strike it "....
I would love golf historians to chime in on this. All the historic pictures I've seen suggest that the older players used a very open stance so maybe they putted that way too ???

This is a fair point.
Maybe the better question would have been "Why aren't more people putting sidesaddle?"

Relative to where the traditional putting stroke came from....
I'd bet it had a least a little something to do with how slow greens were in the early days (to me they look like today's fairways)
Those greens WOULD require some power and "ooomph" to get the ball to the hole making a traditional putting stroke very advantageous.
It's also why back then, I believe putter heads had some serious loft built in.
Edited May 11, 2021 by BigEx44
You're right of course. For that matter, I've never read any "compelling data-driven arguments" that it's better to face the basket and shoot free throws with one hand instead of standing parallel and throwing the ball across your body with two hands. And yet...
I would love to try side saddle putting! I'm a self taught par golfer that uses all kinds of unconventional methods.... don't believe in being a sheep! You gotta find out for yourself if there is merit to a technique and give it a fair shake and I really believe a HUGE % ,meaning most people, just use techniques that are "normal" cause maybe 99% of the pros do it or whatever reasons and most people DO NOT have an experimental attitude in life about finding things out for themselves and are sheep... bah bah
I love using 1 hand only techniques with putting and chipping.... the left hand is on the grip but is 100% docile and the right hand is completely in control, left hand steadies the club. I only use those techniques in certain situations tho.... the right hand alone has waaaay better feel when it is operating alone, specially if you got good hands. Think darts etc... or even rolling a golf ball with your hand.

As I said, a lot of players just freak out when they see somebody putting side saddle. I have my own theories about why that is, but that's another story. Several thoughts:
1. Experimenting with different grips isn't a way of preventing "rotation"; it's trying to take the issue of coordinating two hands into a relatively delicate, precise motion. In that regard, conventional putting is the worst biomechanical position in all of sports for the motion being attempted. Standing parallel to the line of play and using two hands is ALWAYS used to create power thru turn and weight shift and torque; it's a position meant for power, and putting is the opposite of that. Think about a batter in baseball who gets the bunt sign; what does he do? He squares up (binocular vision), slides his top hand up the bat and uses the bottom hand for a fulcrum. In other words, he bunts essentially one handed. Free throw shooters, bowlers, tossing a wad of paper into a trash can, throwing darts; all of those are done the same way. Everything else in sports that is meant to be precise is done with one hand facing the line of play.
2. It's possible that you'll never see a Tour pro putting side saddle; if you do, it will be somebody who did it as a kid. (You might remember that Dechambeau did it on Tour briefly several years ago until the USGA ruled his putter to be nonconforming, and he had putted that way quite a bit as an amateur.) Those guys just can't afford to take a year to learn a new method, and it would take a year for them to get back to the same level. But how long it takes amateurs is another story entirely; I've seen guys be better the first day IF they are battling a bad case of the yips because there just isn't much way to yip with one hand and facing the hole, I promise.
3. Make no mistake about it, the guys putting with the broomstick are doing the same thing the side saddle guys are, EXCEPT they aren't using binocular vision, which is odd, to say the least. Singh, Scott, Langer, McCarron, et al, are absolutely, 100% putting one-handed the the top hand as a fulcrum; don't be fooled by the fact that they are not facing the hole.
4. Before any of you tell me where I'm wrong, think about this for just a moment. I putted conventionally for FIFTY YEARS, and putted will enough to win club championships. I switched when I was 62 years old, and I was still a low single digit index without the yips. I just wanted to see if I could make more putts and three putt less, and I do both of those; it took me a month (with a LOT of very intentional practice) to be as good as I had been conventionally, and in three months, I was a better putter than I had EVER been conventionally. I know a LOT about putting conventionally, and unless you've putted a LOT side saddle, you don't have much to tell me about either method. That's not meant to sound egotistical; it's just a fact.
Do you know of Randy Haag? He turned to side-saddle to battle the yips. Still gets them even putting side-saddle now, though....

Yes. Definitely know him.
I followed his blog for quite a while while I was still perfecting my sidesaddle stroke.
I still remember the first WSJ article that highlighted his different way of putting.
Let's not use hyperbole, you don't shoot free throws with with a club that has both loft and lie. Golf is and always has been a side on hitting sport, the equipment largely dictates how we setup. If a croquet mallet was legal to use there might be some validity to some of these "advantages", but alas that is simply not the case. There is nothing wrong with saying "this is a unique method that works best for me", no need to fluff up some subjective advantages to convince yourself and others that it's something more than that.
Putting is one of the few areas of golf where a multitude of methods can be proficient, but as long as you don't have the yips or some physical disability, there is no reason why any given handicap can't be a good putter with a traditional stroke. Most bad putters have bad strokes, if going to an alternate style of putter is easier than simply learning a solid stroke, then so be it, more power to them. That doesn't make the alternate style universally superior, which is essentially what the OP is claiming.

Love this so much - from a fellow disruptor ! When I started this topic I deliberately chose a challenging title to stir the pot and elicit responses, and they have been very enlightening. As a former lawyer I have to say, reading all the contributions to date, if I was presenting this as a case in court so far the defences for conventional putting have been pretty unconvincing....

Eric Won't Die On 'True Blood,' But Bill Won't Last Now That He Denied the Cure
By Kelly Schremph
Do you hear that? It's the sound of the entire True Blood community taking one big collective sigh of relief. After months of wishing and hoping — even praying to Billith — that this moment would come, it finally has: Eric has been cured of Hep-V! That's right, folks, our beloved Viking vampire is not going to die after all… at least not by the hand of some silly little virus. It's seriously the best thing that's happened all season, though since the writers insisted on taking away Alcide from us, it was sort of the least they could do.
Realizing that she was completely surrounded and outnumbered, Sarah Newlin (or New-Me, if you prefer) makes the surprisingly smart decision to accept her fate and give herself up to the mercy of Eric's wrath. And while he was seriously tempted to end her life right then and there, Eric has a change of heart once Pam (bless her) threatens her own life if he chooses revenge over curing himself. If he dies, she dies. (Seriously, I love these two.) So now he's healed and those unflattering Hep-V veins are no more. (And we can finally get back to admiring that glorious heavage of his.) However, like so many things on this show, the cure comes with a bit of a twist.
Shortly afterward, Mr. Gus tells Eric and Pam that he's already successfully synthesized Sarah's blood and can produce the cure in high quantities. Now the rest of the infected vampire population can finally be saved, right? Not so fast. Mr. Gus is a businessman first and foremost. He doesn't want the creation of "New Blood" (aka Tru Blood 2.0) to completely cure all the vampires, otherwise how would he be expected to make a profit? He needs to give his customers incentive to keep coming back for more, which means he's concocting a serum that will only temporarily cure Hep-V. If they want to remain cured, they'll just have to keep buying more for the rest of their immortal lives.
It's a pretty genius plan actually. Unfortunately, that means Eric and Pam are sworn to secrecy about this sly little scheme, which doesn't bode well for Bill's highly critical Hep-V situation. But thanks to Sookie's inability to stay out of situations she should not be involved in, this clever faerie is able to sneak Bill into Fangtasia for a taste of Sarah's cure-all blood. So the cure is there, standing right in front of Bill. There's just one problem… he decides not to take it.
You heard me — Bill is willingly passing up the chance to cure himself. Let's all say it together, shall we? WTF?!?!
Is it just me or does this make absolutely no sense whatsoever? I mean, it wasn't as if he would've had to kill Sarah to become cured, so this can't really be a moral issue that he's struggling with. And now that Sookie and Bill are finally back together, his decision is even more perplexing. What am I missing here?
Maybe it's because Bill no longer wants to be the darkness in Sookie's life, like his dream about her holding a dark, faceless baby seemed to imply. Maybe he's just ready to move on, hence all the human flashbacks of his we've witnessed this season. Or perhaps, like many of us, Bill is actually Team Eric.
Now that would be a major plot twist I could get behind. Seriously though, Bill — what gives?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could simply add something to your diet and make your stress go away? Good news… you can! Even though they have been around for thousands of years, adaptogens are now becoming more popular to help alleviate symptoms and conditions associated with stress.
We are faced with stress every single day. Whether it is physical, emotional, or mental stress, our body responds the same way. Our bodies are built to handle stress in short bursts. This came in very useful when our ancestors were being chased by and fighting off lions, but it isn't as helpful nowadays.
The difference between the world back then and the world now is that stress is much more constant in our lives. We aren't just battling stress once a day or a couple times a week anymore. Now we go from work to school to home and around again, all the time being faced with extra challenges from crying children, to angry bosses, to more bills to pay, to chronic illnesses.
Being in this constant state of stress puts our adrenal system into overdrive. Your adrenal glands are a hormone-producing gland located on top of each of your kidneys. When your body is put under stress, your adrenal glands secrete different hormones to help bring your body back to neutral. Because our bodies are made to deal with stress in short bursts, if your adrenal glands are constantly working, eventually they will tire out. When this happens we experience symptoms like fatigue, depression, anxiety, insomnia, low blood pressure, skin rashes as well as sugar and salt cravings.
There are three phases to the stress response. Let's use our previous example of encountering a lion to explain them. The first phase is the alarm phase; this is when you see the lion close by.
During this phase, your body starts producing hormones, like adrenaline, to help you either fight the lion or run from it. Next, your body enters the resistance phase.
The hormones our body produced are now put to work to increase muscle performance and our ability to concentrate. This adrenaline rush gives us energy, stamina, and a clear head to increase our chances of fighting off or fleeing from the lion.
Finally, our bodies enter the exhaustion phase.
Adaptogens are naturally occurring herbs that help regulate the bodies stress levels. While adaptogens aren't a magic pill for stress, they do work at a molecular level to help regulate the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal glands. When used regularly and consistently, adaptogens can increase the amount of time our body stays in the resistance phase of stress.
This causes us to have reduced stress levels, more energy, increased physical endurance, and better concentration. You can relate the way adaptogens work to that of a thermometer; when the room gets too cold, the heat kicks in and when it gets too hot, the air conditioner kicks in.
Adaptogens help calm us and give us energy, while evening out the imbalances in our body. By supporting our adrenal glands, they help our bodies combat stress. They also help our cells utilize oxygen more effectively and eliminate waste products, helping to access more energy and maintain balance.
Ancient ginseng: Ginseng is one of the most valued medicinal plants in the world. Western herbalists believe that ginseng restores and strengthens the body's immune response, promotes longevity, and enhances the growth of normal cells by influencing the metabolism of the individual cell. Research studies have shown that it promotes an overall sense of well-being and may even help fight off certain types of cancer.
Eleuthero: This herb is used all over the world for many different reasons. In Germany, it is approved for use in combating chronic fatigue and improving memory. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate muscle spasms, joint pain, insomnia, and fatigue. In our Western culture, it is mostly used to combat mild depression and improve memory.
Ashwagandha: Similar to ginseng, Ashwagandha is used to strengthen the immune system and promote longevity. It has been used for thousands of years to treat exhaustion brought on by both physical and mental stress. Today it is often recommended to those suffering from high blood pressure, insomnia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Rhodiola Rosea: This herb is especially crucial for helping to balance cortisol levels. It has been shown to directly affect cortisol by either raising it or lowering it based on what your body needs at that time. By supporting cellular metabolism, it also has a positive affect on brain function, depression, and heart health.
While adaptogens can be very beneficial and are generally safe, there are also risks and side effects associated with taking them.
High doses of Asian ginseng and Eleuthero can increase symptoms of anxiety, insomnia and agitation. They should be used with caution in individuals with cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure to avoid increased blood pressure and palpitations.
Ashwagandha should be avoided in those with sensitivity to the nightshade group of plants and Rhodiola Rosea should be avoided in those with manic depression or bipolar disorder.
Adaptogens as a group are usually not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women. Before starting any new supplements, make sure to check with your primary care provider to make sure there are no interactions with your current medications or health conditions.

Crisis deepens in SA cricket
Afp, Johannesburg
The crisis in South African cricket deepened on Thursday as former chief executive Ali Bacher called on incumbent Thabang Moroe to quit, while a second independent director resigned from the board of Cricket South Africa.
Bacher, a former Test captain, said Moroe was out of his depth, while independent board member Iqbal Khan, the chairman of CSA's finance committee, said he could no longer be party to an organisation that was "ruining the game".
Khan blamed Moroe for the majority of issues besetting CSA, including failing to adhere to the terms of an agreement with the SA Cricketers' Association, the banning of five journalists last weekend and "widespread credit card abuse".
In his letter to CSA president Chris Nenzani, Khan wrote: "Unfortunately, all fingers point at the CEO.
"But, having said that, I cannot believe that you are not aware of the many issues that have caused this malaise and to that extent you are also complicit and perhaps even the entire board."
Khan's resignation came a day after that of Shirley Zinn, leaving CSA with only three of their five independent directors.
CSA will be holding an emergency board meeting in Johannesburg on Saturday at which it said "important decisions will be made".
Bacher said in an interview with the espncricinfo website that he had mediated talks between Moroe and former Test captain Graeme Smith on August 28, which could have led to Smith becoming CSA director of cricket.
Smith announced on November 15 that he had withdrawn his interest in taking the job - although he confirmed on Monday that new talks were under way.
According to Bacher, in more than two months since the original discussions, Smith had still not been presented with a contract for his consideration.

For me, the patient I think of most often is Sydney. My love for this Airedale Terrier began the moment I stepped into the room to take her blood for a heartworm test. She wasn't so sure about this situation, but her stub of a tail wagged anyway. Syd was known for her less-than-perfect veins, so it usually took a few pokes to get a sample. She didn't care. She sat there patiently while I, the newbie technician, got what I needed.
Sydney's owner Kelly and I became fast friends during Syd's all-too-frequent visits. Kelly said Syd loved me, but I still insist that Syd loved everyone. She was a dream patient, one who let you do anything and never made a peep. She really was a star and our entire staff loved her.
We certainly saw enough of Sydney over the years. She was a bit of a canine lemon and had many health issues. She developed polycythemia and was on a strict medication and bloodwork regime. Needless to say, she became quite the regular in our practice. Despite everything Syd went through, Kelly and her family stood by her. Their dedication to this animal was unparalleled and is something I still admire.
One day, Sydney began having terrible seizures. We were all a wreck. Kelly and her family came in with her and we all expected to say our goodbyes. Our doctor came up with a plan to put her in a medically induced coma as a last effort to bring her around.
This was a pivotal moment in my career. It's the moment where I am ashamed to say I lost hope. I didn't think the vet's plan would work, but Sydney's family remained positive and had faith that with this treatment, Syd would pull through. And what do you know? She did.
It was then that I realized that even when things are looking grim, it's important to give our patients, even the underdog of underdogs, the benefit of the doubt. Every now and then, when it's looking like they aren't going to make it, some very special ones pull through and go on to enjoy many more happy years like Sydney did.
After this experience with her, I vowed never to "give up" on a patient again. Let's face it: we see some very difficult cases in this field, and it's all too easy to become jaded. Instead of remembering the sad cases and the ones you lost in the past, think of Sydney and let her story feed your optimism.
I left the practice in 2010 and went into my last appointment with Syd knowing that I would likely never see her again. I gave her an extra big Airedale hug and silently said my goodbyes as I watched her leave out the front door. A few months later, I learned that our beloved Sydney had passed away. I was heartbroken and disappointed that I couldn't be there for her and her family in her last moments, but in a way I was glad that my last memory of her was a happy one.
I remain grateful to this day for everything I learned from Syd and her amazing family. I value the bond we all developed and will hold it in my heart forever. She made me a better technician and the lessons I learned from her carried on to other patients. I will remember her always, and I know her little stub of a tail is still wagging in doggie heaven.
