Niall Kearney more than doubled his Asian Tour earnings with an immaculate final round 68 as world No 12 Sergio Garcia prevailed in a four-way play-off to win in the inaugural US$1.5 million Ho Tram Open in Vietnam.
The 35-year-old Spaniard holed a huge putt to stay alive at the first extra hole and then parred the second at The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip to pip a courageous Himmat Rai of India after Chinese Taipei's Lin Wen-tang and Thai veteran Thaworn Wiratchant had bowed out earlier in the richest full-field Asian Tour tournament this season.
Garcia's 23rd career Tour victory and his first since January, 2014 came with a cheque for US$270,000 while Kearney made $8,775 and moved to 110th in the Order of Merit with $16,878 from eight events as his 68 left him tied for 41st on level par 284.
"Winning is never easy," said Garcia, who closed with a three-under par 68 for a 14-under-par 270 aggregate. "I was fortunate and you have to be lucky to win. I was fortunate to get a second chance after I pretty much gave it away. I'm very happy as I haven't won in a while.
"After you've been up there and you don't win, a lot of things go through your mind and this win will help give me a little bit more confidence.
Starting the day two back of overnight leader Lin, Garcia stormed out with a stunning outward 29 to open up a three-shot lead before his game surprisingly unravelled with a bogey on 10 and a double bogey on 17.
Thaworn and Rai came home in 67s while Lin scrambled to a 70 to force extra-time which left spectators at the edge of their seats as they awaited to hail the Ho Tram Open's first ever champion.
On the first extra hole on 18, Garcia, who has now won five Asian Tour titles, drained a massive 35-foot birdie putt which was matched by Rai, who coolly converted from five feet after Lin and Thaworn missed their birdie attempts.
The Spaniard then claimed a popular victory with a par after Rai dropped a bogey after finding the bushes with an errant drive.
"It was a strange day. It felt like I was so much under control, the way I played the front nine. Then I hit a bad tee shot on 10 but I still managed to get it back together and had some chances which I didn't make. Then I hit a poor shot on 17," said Garcia.
Rai, whose lone Asian Tour victory came in 2011, charged into contention with a birdie, birdie, eagle run from the 14th hole but rued a three-putt bogey on 18 in regulation play which proved costly.
However, the 28-year-old Indian took comfort that his joint runner-up cheque of US$111,500 was more than enough to safely secure his Tour card for next season after starting the week in 116th place on the Order of Merit.
"I enjoyed it because I played really good. On the second play-off hole, I just rushed it. I wasn't feeling comfortable with my grip and I should have backed off. I was a little bit disappointed," said Rai.
Unorthodox swinging Thaworn, who played alongside Garcia in the final round, was disappointed his birdie attempt from 10 feet in the first extra hole agonisingly hit the edge of the cup. "My putt was against the wind and I knew I had to putt it a bit harder but it was probably too hard. It was a good line," said the 49-year-old, who was chasing a 19th Asian Tour title.
Lin felt his three-putt bogey on 17 blew his chances of winning a seventh Asian Tour title.
"I missed too many short birdie putts. Then I three-putted on the 17th hole and I think that's the turning point. In the play-off, I was stupid. I put too much power in my swing and hit my tee shot into the right sand dune. I had a crazy lie," said the man from Taipei.

Royal Dublin's Niall Kearney fought back from a nightmare start to give himself every chance of winning his Asian Tour card in Saturday's final round of the Q-School in Thailand.
Niall Kearney made the cut but fell victim to the spectacular Greg Norman designed The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip course in round three of the US$1.5 million Ho Tram Open.
Darren Clarke and Niall Turner will miss the cut but Irish champion Niall Kearney is teetering on the brink in the weather-delayed US$1.5 million Ho Tram Open in Vietnam.


On one side, you have the politically connected Bill Scherer and his law firm, and on the other, you have Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler, former state Sen. Skip Campbell, and Florida Bar President-Elect Scott Hawkins.
Welcome to the civil suit involving former Judge Larry Seidlin, who became a national celebrity/clown during his tearful handling of the Anna Nicole Smith case, and the elderly neighbor who is claiming that Seidlin exploited her to take a sizable chunk of her multimillion-dollar fortune.
Hawkins, Seiler, and Campbell form the core of Seidlin's defense team, representing the judge; his in-laws, Oren and Barbara Ray; and family friend Dorothy "Danni" Coletto, respectively. Hawkins just took over for Russ Adler, who was knocked out after his law partner, Scott Rothstein, was implicated in a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
Scherer is representing the widow, Barbara Kasler. Also involved is Lyn Evans, who has been working with the Kasler family for some time and has most recently been working as an investigator for Scherer in his suit. Evans is also a part-time researcher for the Daily Pulp and provided the video.
When Evans videotaped the wild proceedings at a deposition Friday at the Marine Tower in Fort Lauderdale -- where Seidlin and Kasler are neighbors -- Seidlin seized on her work for New Times in the video above. His blond wife, Belinda, chimes in, and it ends with Mayor Seiler's client, Coletto, flipping the bird.
Last night, WSVN reporter Carmel Cafiero aired a report on the depo and the case. You can see it here.
Coletto is an intriguing character in the case. After I broke the initial story about Seidlin's alleged exploitation of Kasler, Coletto contacted me and told me that she had direct knowledge that Seidlin plotted to get named as an heir in the widow's will. She originally voiced contempt for Seidlin.
Seidlin puts his daughter, whom Kasler put through the exclusive Pine Crest school, at the front. The daughter was often the focal point for the transfer of assets from Kasler to the Seidlin clan. The family claimed they were only waiting for their own lawyers. The other side says they walked over there in anticipation of showing themselves to the widow. Watch the video and decide for yourself.
I'm wondering why the judge brought his daughter to the deposition in the first place. Kasler's crowd claims this was part of Seidlin's obvious plan to stir up some emotion for Kasler during the deposition. Understand that the judge became close to Kasler only after her son, Frank Gardner, had died. The lawsuit alleges that after Gardner died, Seidlin began referring to himself as Kasler's son and even wore Gardner's jewelry. Soon Seidlin began taking over major Kasler assets, including a condo, a $50,000 piece of land, roughly $500,000 in cash, and other goods, alleges the lawsuit.
Seidlin spent an inordinate amount of time with Kasler in her apartment. Seidlin was overly affectionate and physical with Kasler. Seidlin would often publicly fawn over Kasler, touching her face, tousling her hair, and calling her "my baby."
Seidlin would sleep in Kasler's bedroom. He also showered at Kasler's apartment and would leave articles of his clothing at her apartment. When Kasler received sponge baths and was dressed and undressed by her aides, Seidlin often would not leave the room, but rather, would sit bedside.
Seidlin has responded that the allegations are false and "scandalous," and he's fired back with lawsuits of his own. Expect a trial, scheduled for the summer, to be one for the books.
-- In Broward County ethics news, the phrase "Broward County ethics" is still an oxymoron. At yesterday's commission meeting, Sue Gunzburger asked her fellow commissioners if they wanted to discuss putting any new ethics rules they come up with on a referendum to make them part of the county charter to make sure they endure. The response to her motion: silence. None of her fellows even seconded Gunzburger. Kristin Jacobs, where are you?


The Ashul #lyfe is writing on the Svbtle network.
Founder @ Eduka, web application developers, in Perth and Melbourne. I write about tech, life and running.
It all started with an email, an opportunity to run the Berlin Marathon. This was my chance to run on a track that holds the men's world record for the marathon. To run a major marathon would be the ultimate experience, I felt. To finish with a PB would wrap it up as a sweet present for my birthday a few weeks later.
After the Sydney Marathon in September 2015, I had taken a sabbatical from running races. I had no interest in marathons, but this opportunity was too good to pass up.
I saw the quote above on Instagram, it resonated with me and has become my mantra, my CTA.
As I looked at the Kata Tjuta glimmering on the horizon I felt my body melt into a trance. The enormity of where I was and what I was doing was sinking in. My ability to control my spirit had vanished as I allowed the colors and calmness of the land envelope me.
The running pack had dispersed and I was alone. The distant hum of the race helicopter was a brief distraction. The sound of my breathing, and my soft footsteps on the sandy trails send me into a hypnotic trance. Soon I noticed the spinifex on the red earth and it was then that the years that led me to this moment finally hit.
Marathons are for mad people. That's what I'd always thought. And I didn't fit in that club. But when the social media bug caught hold of me five years ago I was lured by the excitement the Perth HBF Fun Run offered.

Those who attended Micheal Basinski's performance at the Elora Poetry Centre in the fall of 2015 will realise how honoured the Elora Poetry Centre felt when The Poetry Collection, Capen Hall, University at Buffalo, mounted a sizable part of the Centre's Cid Corman collection, from November 2016 until January 2017. Dr. Basinski was head curator of The Poetry Collection at the University at Buffalo (formerly SUNY Buffalo), and is also an accomplished poet. Dr. James Maynard, current head curator of the Collection, brought the exhibition to fruition.
The Cid Corman collection consists of books and magazines from his personal library, manuscripts, letters, photographs, audio material, and works of art. These will be digitally available to students in EASIA 391R on this site, though generally unavailable for public access. This resource is intended for class discussions and student projects in the course.
As well, over the years Daniel Bratton purchased a significant portion of the private collection of the editor, poet, photographer, and academic Allen de Loach, who had strong connections to SUNY Buffalo, where he did graduate work. Again, this collection includes audio-visual material, photographs, letters, and books and magazines, with strong connections to the Beats. This resource will also be made digitally available to students in EASIA 391R.


Is there a way to subscribe to a forum RSS feed? It would be nice to see all new posts in Outlook. I noticed this was mentioned in a to-do a while back.

An RSS Feed for the forums is definitely on the list, We're making sure we pick one that does the job as well as possible, There is a number of RSS systems for the forums and they all do things slightly differently and plug into the forum system differently. Once we have found one we are happy with I will be implementing it on here.
What is the latest on this?

D. Rose Addresses The Haters: "I'm Not Done"
J.R. Gamble December 5, 2013
Rocking a red Chicago Bulls sweat suit and a pair of crutches, point guard Derrick Rose sat down with the media for the first time since undergoing his second knee surgery in less than two years, and being declared lost for the season once again. He wasn't side-stepping the questions either.
"I'm not done," an emotionless Rose said on NBA TV, "…of course when you're living in the moment …you just don't understand certain things…but 10 years into the future, this will be minor."
Having had some time to gather his bearings after undergoing successful surgery, Rose is chilling with a positive vibe, knowing he will be back and healthy one day.
One reporter had the sacks to basically ask Rose if the Bulls should give up on him after tearing up his knee in 2012 and now a torn meniscus. Is he damaged goods?
Rose responded with the Chi-Town confidence that has made him an NBA MVP and a giant among ballers. "You can be a fool if you want too," he said.
Rose went on to praise his teammates and the Bulls organization for "making him as comfortable as possible." He says that they send him food and encouraging texts on the regular. He actually flashed a smile when he spoke of that aspect of his ordeal. It's like he was embarrassed to be receiving so much love and attention from his squad, with him being incapacitated and unable to lend anything more than a high five, pat on the back and some sound advice.
And unlike last season, when Rose's brother threw his Bulls teammates under the bus, Rose said he has great confidence in his current squad. He said he would never go out and recruit a big-name free agent to come to the Windy City, because he feels like a "hooper's job is too hoop," not make personnel decisions."I'll play with anybody," Rose said.
Rose's refusal to suit up in last year's playoffs set off a firestorm of opinion. Big Bro Reggie Rose got involved, some media pundits blasted D. Rose as selfish and the ordeal strained his relationship with his hometown. However, the riff didn't last long, as it was fueled by the fans desire to see Rose back on. All was forgiven upon his 2013 return.
When asked about the possibility of returning for this year's playoffs, Rose didn't totally shut the idea down, saying, "If I'm healthy and the situation is right, anything is possible."
Not sure why he would open the door to four more months of speculation, but I guess he had to throw the NBA community a bone and keep hope alive for Bulls fans before he disappears into rehab hibernation.
Those are words that could come back to bite Rose in the long run, but he let it be known he's in it for the long haul. He expressed himself with the same positive attitude, tenaciousness and toughness he flexes on the hardwood. "I could hurt myself ten more times, "Rose insisted. "I'm never going to stop."


CMS recently announced that it would delay until Oct. 1(www.cms.gov) enforcement of a portion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that establishes a face-to-face encounter requirement for durable medical equipment (DME) items.
The law requires physicians to document that a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or clinical nurse specialist had a face-to-face encounter with the patient within six months before placing a DME order.
The agency cited concerns that some physicians and suppliers might need additional time to establish protocols that would enable them to comply with the requirement; the new deadline gives them an additional three months to prepare for implementation of the law.
The AAFP and the United States Preventive Services Task Force(www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org) (USPSTF) have said that insufficient evidence exists to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for primary open-angle glaucoma in adults.
According to the USPSTF, the task force reviewed more than 100 studies on the accuracy of various screening tests for glaucoma, citing methodological limitations, variability in study designs and a lack of a diagnostic standard for glaucoma as the main reasons for the latest recommendation.
Approximately 2.5 million individuals in the United States have glaucoma, and many are unaware that they have it. Important risk factors include older age, family history of the condition, and being black. The overall estimated prevalence of glaucoma in the United States is 1.9 percent.
Registration is now open for a free CMS webinar(www150.livemeeting.com) titled "Quality Measurement 101: What Providers Need to Know About CMS Quality Programs."
During the webinar, which is scheduled for July 16 from 12-1:30 p.m. EDT, CMS quality experts will explain the basic elements of CMS' Physician Quality Reporting System(www.cms.gov), the value-based payment modifier(www.cms.gov) and maintenance of certification.
Registered participants will receive follow-up e-mail instructions about how to access the webinar.
The Bipartisan Policy Center has launched a new CEO Council on Health and Innovation(bipartisanpolicy.org) that will share innovative strategies and encourage the adoption of best practices to improve the health and wellness of employees in large and medium-sized companies.
The CEO Council, made up of chief executives of some of the nation's largest employers, will promote workable strategies that have the greatest opportunity for widespread adoption and impact. The council plans to publish the strategies and best practices in early 2014.
As part of this effort, the council will engage national employers and will rely for guidance on a health care advisory board(bipartisanpolicy.org), which will include leaders of the AAFP and other organizations representing consumers, clinicians, health plans, health professionals and hospitals.
HHS has announced(www.hhs.gov) it is providing $150 million in new grant funding to help health centers enroll uninsured Americans in new health insurance options provided as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The health centers are expected to use the grant money to hire an additional 2,900 outreach and eligibility assistance workers who will educate consumers about their insurance options and help them enroll in various programs if they qualify, according to HHS. The Affordable Care Act has sought to increase health insurance coverage through expansions in the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs and through a new Health Insurance Marketplace.
The awards are part of the Obama administration's efforts to facilitate access to the new insurance options, says HHS. The administration has launched a consumer-focused HealthCare.gov(www.healthcare.gov) website and a 24-hour-a-day consumer call center to help consumers understand their coverage options and apply for programs that best meets their needs.

Er absolvierte ein Studium am Ingenieurinstitut Nordostchinas und war unter anderem zwischen 1985 und 1990 stellvertretender Sekretär des Kommunistischen Jugendverbandes (KJVC) in der Provinz Liaoning. Anschließend war er von 1990 bis 1993 erst Vize-Bürgermeister der bezirksfreien Stadt Panjin sowie daraufhin zwischen 1993 und 2001 Mitglied im Generalsekretariat des Regionalkomitees der KPCh der Autonomen Region Tibet. Dort war er zwischen 1999 und 2003 stellvertretender Sekretär des Regionalkomitees sowie 2003 kurzzeitig noch Vize-Vorsitzender des Zentralkomitees sowie zugleich Sekretär der Parteiführungsgruppe der KPCh der Volksregierung der Autonomen Region Tibet.

Im Anschluss fungierte Li Liguo zwischen 2003 und 2005 als Vize-Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten und war zeitgleich Mitglied der Parteiführungsgruppe dieses Ministeriums. Anschluss war er von 2005 bis 2010 sowohl Erster Vize-Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten als auch in Personalunion stellvertretender Sekretär der Parteiführungsgruppe des Ministeriums für zivile Angelegenheiten. Als Nachfolger von Li Xueju übernahm er schließlich im Juni 2010 selbst den Posten als Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten im Staatsrat der Volksrepublik China. Auf dem XVIII. Parteitag 2012 wurde er zum Mitglied des ZK der KPCh gewählt und gehörte diesem Gremium bis 2017 an. 2013 wurde er vom Nationalen Volkskongress als Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten bestätigt und übernahm zugleich 2013 in Personalunion den Posten als stellvertretender Direktor des Nationalen Komitees für Katastrophenvorsorge. Als Minister kündigte er im März 2016 an, dass Namen von Gebäuden, welche "die Souveränität und nationale Würde schädigen, im Gegensatz zu sozialistischen Kernwerten stehen, als unmoralisch gelten oder Anlass für die meisten Beschwerden aus dem Volk waren", geändert werden müssen.

Am 7. November 2016 wurde er als Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten vom bisherigen Minister für Disziplinaraufsicht Huang Shuxian abgelöst und auch seiner sonstigen Ämter entbunden. Am 9. Januar 2017 wurde von der Zentralen Disziplinarkommission der KPCh ein Verfahren gegen Li Liguo eingeleitet. Am 9. Februar 2017 gab die Zentrale Disziplinarkommission bekannt, dass er von seiner Position als Minister für zivile Angelegenheiten entbunden und auf die Ebene eines stellvertretenden Abteilungsleiters herabgestuft wurde, weil er dem Ministerium keine strikte Parteidisziplin auferlegt und "systematisch" erlaubt hatte, Korruption unter seiner Beobachtung auftreten zu lassen. Seine Parteimitgliedschaft wurde für zweijährige Bewährungszeit suspendiert. Er verlor zudem auch seine Funktionen als Mitglied des ZK der KPCh sowie als Delegierter des 18. Parteitages.

Calligraphy is the art of creating beautiful lettering. While I have formally studied the art of calligraphy and am skilled in traditional scripts, I enjoy writing in modern calligraphic styles as well. I am often asked, "How is calligraphy different from lettering? Aren't they the same thing?" For me, they are very different.
Whereas in lettering, I think of each letter as its own small piece of art within a larger composition, I think of calligraphy as being more systemic. Each lettering style has its own language of shape, proportion, and angle; and each letter will be the same every time that it appears, save for the imperfections that naturally occur in writing produced by hand.
I think of hand lettering as an art that is customized for each project, and each letter is designed individually as a smaller component within a larger composition. The same letter may appear to be the same or very different from itself each time that it appears.
My lettering clients are typically (but not always) larger entities, such as corporations or organizations. Lettering is a great technique for logos and marketing campaigns, monograms and artwork, merchandise and apparel, to name a few applications.
To inquire about a project or to hire me, please call (469) 583-1932 or email info@lyndsaywrightdesign.com.

Why children's charities need a rebrand
Unicef today became the latest children's charity to launch a new brand identity, following NSPCC this week and the Children's Society last month. Here, we look at the differences and similarities in each charity's approach, and why so many organisations in the sector are looking to reinvent themselves…
The search for a voice
Designer Michael Johnson of johnson banks, looks back at his recent visit to India, where he found a design scene that is beginning to reflect the country's unique and rich visual language…
Nick Asbury
Nick Asbury has a way with words; whether they're written for a studio brief, or a personal project. He is the designer's writer
If you want to add to your range of skills, or just have fun taking on a new challenge, UK universities and colleges have a wide range of options to choose from
After Hours: setting problems, rules and limits
The After Hours exhibition at the Jerwood Space on London's Bankside is a diverse compendium of personal projects from graphic designers working without a client or a brief. But are there any common threads to be found?
And the winners are: Design Week Awards 2013
The annual Design Week Awards took place last night at London's Royal Artillery Gardens, with AKQA winning four awards including Best of Show.
The film of the logo
No brand identity launch these days is complete, it seems, without an accompanying video, from simple demos of the mark in motion to full-on production numbers
The business of Acumen
In 2001, Acumen became one of the first of a new breed of 'impact investment' companies providing investment in the developing world. Twelve years on, johnson banks has designed a new identity for the organisation and collaborated on a manifesto for the work it does in tackling world poverty
Johnson Banks has created a new 'active' brand identity system for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust which aims to explain what the disease is and how it affects people
Shooting blanks
What client wouldn't want to see how its new logo might look on a giant poster site, or screen-printed across a T-shirt or canvas bag? Image templates such as those from LiveSurface and PrestoVisual can help designers to show proposed work in the best possible light – but, as the realism increases and work spreads online, does it matter that it's now becoming so much harder to work out just what is real and what isn't?


A student may request and be considered for a compassionate withdrawal when incapacitating circumstances, such as a serious illness or injury, prevent the student from continuing classes or from seeking academic withdrawal in the usual way. The compassionate withdrawal policy covers both physical and mental health. Staff in the Dean of Students office, http://louisville.edu/dos, will gather medical and other necessary documentation to show that the situation is incapacitating.
Dean of Students office staff will review and evaluate the compassionate withdrawal request and take follow‐up action to refer the case to the appropriate officer (e.g., unit dean) for review and decision. The Dean of Students office will coordinate the process with the school/college dean's designee.
It is the student's (or the family member's) responsibility to provide adequate documentation to support the compassionate withdrawal request. Petitions without proper or complete documentation will be returned to the student (or the student's family member) for completion.
Supporting documentation from the health care provider(s) or other professional counselors must be on clinical letterhead and must include date of onset of illness or condition; the general nature of medical condition and how/why it prevented completion of course work, and a brief comment on care plan and/or anticipated date or time to reach treatment goals. To ensure confidentiality a provider may use a Release of Information form in order to document the condition.
An academic withdrawal does not remove a student's financial responsibility for his/her educational expenses. The student is responsible for payment of any outstanding charges including, but not limited to tuition, fees, parking, housing and other expenses, after the academic withdrawal is granted. The Dean of Students office will assist with the identification and completion of all necessary business processes.

blog home Car Accidents Injured by a Snowplow? Here Are Your Options
Injured by a Snowplow? Here Are Your Options
By stladmin on February 24, 2021
Wyoming is big on snow. Or rather, snow is big on Wyoming. What with being bordered by the Rocky Mountains to the south and west and hosting a few national parks, we in Wyoming get a lot of weather come winter. And sometimes, even in populated areas, it's just too much to handle.
This can be a problem when an irresponsible person gets behind the wheel of a snowplow.
How Dangerous Are Snowplows?
Typically, snowplows are alone on the road and only operate in the early morning. This can make their drivers careless — they assume the roads are empty and may make dangerous decisions, such as:
Drinking while driving
Distracted driving, like using a cellphone
Making dangerous lane changes
Running red lights or ignoring traffic signs
Everyone knows how large and powerful snowplows are. These giant vehicles have to drive in the worst conditions and clean the important roads around Campbell County at record pace. They may seem slow, but they can travel at high enough speeds, which is dangerous given how heavy they are.
Even at slow speeds, a collision between a snowplow and your average car or pickup can be catastrophic. The front ends of these vehicles contain heavy plows and blades, which can easily tear into another vehicle and harm drivers and passengers. In addition, these vehicles can also cause serious injuries to pedestrians who may be out in the early morning clearing their driveways or cars.
Snowplows are naturally raised higher of the ground, like other large vehicles and trucks, which limits the driver's visibility. They may have a difficult time seeing pedestrians near the front sides of the plow or anyone in the vehicle's blind spots, which can be dangerous if they suddenly decide to change lanes – or stray out of the lane because they're watching a funny video on YouTube.
When these accidents occur, victims may be left horribly injured and forced to stay in the hospital for months. A single accident could easily cost more than a year's worth of rent. However, depending on who injured you and how the accident occurred, you may be able to cover the costs of your treatment and time off work with a personal injury claim.
Who Is Liable for Snowplow Crashes?
Snowplows are generally operated by the Wyoming state government or a local agency. For us here in Gillette, the city's Street Division handles the plowing and sanding of our paved and gravel roads, and the Campbell County Road and Bridge handles areas outside the city. Also, several private snowplow companies around the county are on-call to clear private roads, parking lots, and other residential areas.
After being injured by a snowplow, you may be able to file an accident claim to recover compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain. Typically, in Campbell County, you can file two types of claims:
Auto Accident Claims: If a private company's snowplow hit you, then you may be able to file an auto accident claim against the driver's insurance company. In Wyoming, you have four years to file a claim against a private company and there is no cap on the amount of money you can receive for your trauma.
Government Accident Claims: If your injuries were caused by a government-run snowplow for the Gillette Street Division or Campbell County Road and Bridge, then you may be able to file a government vehicle accident claim. You have up to two years to file a government claim, but can only receive up to $250,000 for a single person or $500,000 for a group of accident victims.
Both situations require strong legal advocacy to receive full compensation, and your best option is to talk to a Gillette personal injury lawyer. At Steven Titus & Associates, P.C., our team of legal experts can review your case in a free consultation and explain your rights under the law. Whether a government worker or private driver caused your injuries, we can demand proper compensation for your trauma. To discuss your case today, call our office at (307) 257-7800.

It's a rare treat, watching this area transform itself from an ugly, scarred and derelict waterfront area to a modern, bustling and exciting precinct.
This urban renewal is trilling to see as modern and impressive high-rise buildings start to dominate the skyline.
The impressive Melbourne Star stands proudly as a major feature, overlooking the precincts becoming famous for their shopping and ultimate dining experiences.
The area's public, pedestrian plazas are scattered with public works of art - murals, sculptures and interactive artworks along with light displays to thrill.
The Etihad Stadium stands proudly overlooking the Dockland waterways and is where families spend a great deal of their time attending concerts and sporting events.
There's Mini Golf and sport's car simulators to enjoy at Harbour Town and so much more.
Situated just minutes from the city, you have to put this high up on your list of things to do in Melbourne.
Truly, the Melbourne Docklands is one of Melbourne's top attractions, suitable for all ages.
Where Are The Melbourne Docklands?
The Melbourne Docklands area is situated at the western edge of Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD) and is primarily a waterfront area centered around the Yarra River.
The map below, shows some interesting attractions that have been built in the different Precincts within the Docklands.
The 1800's saw the area known as Batman's Hill redeveloped to incorporate the new rail infrastructure and expanding Industries.
The course of the Yarra River was rerouted, which saw the widening of the river for shipping and the new Victoria Dock was formed. This was lined with wharves and light industry with the western railyards nearby being used to freight goods inland.
By the 1920's Victoria Dock had become Melbourne's busiest port. During both World wars, Victoria Dock was used as the main port for navel vessels.
In the 1950's Containerization began and with the size of the ships now arriving the docks along this area became inadequate and obsolete. This area with quite a considerable amount of land now became fairly redundant.
For quite some years, there were renewal proposals put before the Melbourne Docklands Renewal Committees and the formal tendering process came into place.
Each of the 8 Dockland Precincts now formed have their own character, with a mixture of retail, residential and commercial activities.
Each Precinct is still growing, with new and exciting additions to the area being added every year.
Harbour Town Shopping Centre is excellent to shop at with premium brands at great prices. At Waterfront City you can wine and dine and be entertained, on and off the water.
There are always FREE events being staged at the Piazza regularly.
Let the kids enjoy a skate at the O'Brien Group Arena (Icehouse), a world class ice sports and entertainment venue. The Venue has 2 Olympic sized ice skating rinks and offers public skating sessions every day of the week.
Play and party at Monkey Mania an indoor playcentre.
There is the Wonderland Fun Park with great rides and slides, dodgem cars and bungee jump. Roller coaster rides and school holiday programs all at great prices makes this a great fun place to take the kids.
At Waterfront City you can also find the Walk Of Stars which is a tribute to some of Australia's greatest entertainers.
The growing display that shows a trail of 100 plus stars is similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
There is a huge mosaic, 11 meter mural creating a wonderful display and a bit of fun finding and naming the stars depicted.
Large life like bronze statues of Australian Icons from film and TV, are scattered throughout this area, Kylie Minogue, John Farnham and Dame Edna Everage being some examples.
World class building designs can be found here at the Melbourne Docklands. There is a thriving technology area, some that is publicly interactive such as the Field of Play digital game.
This is an ongoing interactive installation that combines mobile phone technology, an online website, three unique species of iconography, embedded sculpture, dynamic light and interactive sound.
This area of the Melbourne Docklands is dotted with gourmet restaurants and quaint cafes and stylish bars. The waterfront promenade makes for an excellent place to sit back and relax and watch Melburnians wandering by.
With a backdrop of amazing modern buildings this makes for an exciting section of the Docklands to visit.
The heritage listed boatsheds are now renovated to wine and dine locals and tourist alike right on the waterfront.
This is also the drop off point for many charter boats and houses Melbourne's Superyacht Marina.
Victoria Harbour consists of residential and commercial buildings, childcare services and Australia's first 'green' supermarket. The Harbour has the highest concentration of green buildings in Australia.
There are waterfront promenades, cafes, restaurants and a marina. The amazing and innovative Docklands Park will keep the kids amused for hours.
Stroll along to the end of the Victoria Harbour Promenade.
Here you will find your Tour pick up points. This also is a fantastic vantage point to capture some excellent photos of the Bolte Bridge.

The city of Melbourne, Australia is changing on a daily basis. With the old buildings being replaced with massive tall skyscrapers and old derilect areas being reclaimed, it truly is one amazing city to explore.
From the inner city to the outskirts of this amazing and exciting city there is constant change going on.
This T-shirt celebrates just this idea and the basis of the design is an example of the amazing street sculpture that can be found scattered throughout the city streets.
This photo was taken looking across the Yarra River and Princess Bridge towards the Arts Centre complete with it's Spire and the majestic Eureka Tower.
Using the photo editor 'Fotosketcher' I have been able to produce a unique pen and ink effect.
Framed this would make a wonderful edition to the home's decor or for a special focal point in the office.
You can customize it to suit printing it on gloss paper, canvas or even change the size.

Geological Behavior (GBR)
CODEN: GBEEB6

Our world is made of rock. Although much of the Earth's surface is covered by vegetation, concrete or water, if one digs down far enough solid rock will always be found. Rocks are the foundations of the landscape and the origin of the soil. They even affect the weather. For example, the coastal mountains of the Tropics trap rain-laden clouds from the moist ocean breezes. Over the ages, rain erodes the rocks at an imperceptible rate creating the lofty crags, ridges, valleys, gorges and spectacular waterfalls which form the dramatic landscape. These eroded fragments Rock fragments accumulate on lower slopes to form a variety of soils which in turn support a range of forest types. Those who live in a landscape where rock outcrops are obvious will have wondered about the kind of rocks they are looking at and how they came to be where they are now. Geological Behavior (GBR) explains in simple terms what geology can tell us about the world. Many objects of great beauty and which excite our curiosity, such as crystals or fossils, are to be found by examining rocks.

Editors do not necessarily agree with the views expressed in the matter published herein.
Manuscript Details
The manuscript of a research article should be arranged as follows:
Abstract and Keywords (optional: graphical abstracts & highlights)
Results & Discussion (both can be given as separate headings)
Unknown Mechanism (For Bad Science Journal only)
The manuscripts must be double-spaced typed, written in clear, grammatical English with no typographical errors.
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. Author names and affiliations. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication.
A concise and factual abstract is required (200-300 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Graphical Abstract (Optional)
Although a graphical abstract is optional, its use is encouraged as it draws more attention to the online article. The graphical abstract should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image should be readable at a size of 5 × 13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi. Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office files.
Highlights (Optional)
Highlights are also optional. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey the core findings of the article and should be submitted in a separate page in the manuscript. Please use 'Highlights' as the title and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point).
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Subdivision – Numbered Sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, …), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. What is the material or equipment used to conduct the study. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Nomenclature and Units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI. You are urged to consult the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) http://www.iupac.org and International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) http://iupap.org/ for further information.
Figures and Other Illustrations
Upon submission of an article, authors are informed to include all figures and tables within the text of the manuscript. In addition to that Figures should be submitted in separate zip files containing all figures. All figures should be cited in the paper in a consecutive order. Figures should be supplied in either vector art formats (Illustrator, EPS, WMF, FreeHand, CorelDraw, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) or bitmap formats (Photoshop, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.
Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading.
Manuscripts must contain at least 10 references. The references must cite recent and relevant research only. At least half (50%) of the references should be published within the last 5 years.

A blisk (portmanteau of bladed disk) is a turbomachine component comprising both rotor disk and blades. It serves as a critical component of the engine compressor to allow a sufficient quantity of compressed air to enter the engine for combustion to occur. Blisks generally have better aerodynamics than conventional rotors with single blades and are lighter. Each blisk consists of a single part instead of disk assembled with individual removable blades. They may be additively manufactured, integrally cast, machined from a solid piece of material, or made by welding individual blades to a rotor disk. The term is used mainly in aerospace engine design.   Blisks may also be known as integrally bladed rotors (IBR).

History
Blisk manufacturing has been used since the mid-1980s. It was first used by Sermatech-Lehr (now known as GKN Aerospace) in 1985 for the compressors of the T700 helicopter engine. Since then, its use has continued to increase in major applications for both compressors and fan blade rotors. Examples include the Rocketdyne RS-68 rocket engine and the General Electric F110 turbofan.

The F-35B variant of the Joint Strike Fighter uses blisks to achieve short take-off and vertical landing.

Engine manufacturer CFM International is using blisk technology in the compressor section of its Leap-X demonstrator engine program, which has completed full-scale rig testing. PowerJet SaM146 engines used on Sukhoi Superjet 100s are also equipped with blisks.

General Electric's Passport (formerly "TechX") engine uses blisks for both its main 52" fan as well as for 5 of its 10 high pressure turbine stages.  The GEnx already uses blisks in some stages.

Advantages

Instead of making bare compressor disks and attaching the blades later, blisks are single elements combining the two. This eliminates the need to attach the blades to the disk (via screws, bolts, etc.), thus decreasing the number of components in the compressor, while at the same time decreasing drag and increasing efficiency of air compression in the engine.  The elimination of the dovetail attachment found on traditional turbine blades eliminates a source for crack initiation and subsequent propagation.

Efficiency improvements of up to 8% are possible.

Disadvantages
Any damage to integrally bladed rotor blades beyond minor dents requires the full removal of the engine so that the rotor may be replaced or, if possible, replacement blades welded on.  Maintenance of this nature cannot be done on the flightline and often must be performed at a specialized facility.  Integrally bladed rotor blades must undergo rigorous harmonic vibration testing as well as dynamic balancing to an extremely high standard, since the natural damping of the dovetail attachment of a typical turbine blade is no longer present.

Process

General
Blisks can be produced with several different manufacturing processes, including CNC milling, investment casting, electro chemical machining, 3D printing, or welding.  Research is being conducted to produce them using friction welding of "near net" part shapes that are then machined down to the final blisk shape.

Measurement and inspection

The measurement and inspection of blisks is crucial for guaranteeing engine performance carried out at the end of the manufacturing processes. Traditionally this has been achieved using tactile devices, like CMMs, but as geometries and requirements increase, the trend in modern factories is to carry out 3D scanning using systems like ATOS ScanBox.  This has advantages of the speed of measurement compared to tactile devices, whilst collecting 3D data to relate back to design characteristics.  Using 3D data, parts can be catalogued in this way, often called digital twin, allowing monitoring of the product through its life-cycle.

Blisk repair using adaptive machining
Engine-run blisks pose their own set of unique requirements. After parts have been in service in the engine, noticeable amounts of damage and wear will be observed. Provided that the damage and wear are within thresholds set by the design authority, it is possible that the blisks can repaired.

Repair of blisk components is complex and first requires an accurate 3D representation of the component.  The quickest way to do this is by 3D scanning the product. After the part is scanned, an STL file can be passed to a CNC code generating software such as NX CAM.  The tool paths are regenerated to suit the measured geometry and not the nominally generated CAD in a process known as adaptive machining.

The processes would typically involve removing part or all of a blade(s), followed by a weld back to approximate size before finishing by final machining back to the airfoil shape.

Die 42. Internationalen Tennismeisterschaften von Deutschland fanden vom 3. August bis zum 8. August 1948 auf dem Rothenbaum in Hamburg statt.

Nach neun Jahren Unterbrechung aufgrund des Zweiten Weltkrieges konnte das Turnier wieder durchgeführt werden. Die Internationalität beschränkte sich auf den mit Gottfried von Cramm befreundeten Australier Jack Harper, den in Lübeck lebenden Esten Kristjan Lasn und zwei in Hamburg lebende Britinnen. 13 Jahre nach seiner letzten Teilnahme gewann von Cramm seinen fünften Einzeltitel und mit Harper auch das Doppel. Zwei Titel gewann auch Ursula Rosenow im Einzel und im Mixed an der Seite von Ernst Buchholz. Von den Siegern von 1939 war noch Änne Schneider-Peitz mit dabei. Henner Henkel war im Krieg geblieben. Sein Bruder Ferdinand erreichte das Doppelfinale.

Das Stift Herdecke war ein Frauenstift in Herdecke und gilt als Keimzelle von Herdecke.

Geschichte
Das Stift war im Laufe der Jahrhunderte auch unter den Namen Herdicke, Hirreke, Hyrrike, Herrike, Hyrreke, Heirdike, Heirke, Herdicke,  bekannt.

Nach Hermann Stangefols Werk "Annales circuli Westphalici" wurde das Stift 819 als Benediktinerinnenkloster von einer Frederuna gegründet. Zu dieser Darstellung fehlen jedoch weitere zeitgenössische Erwähnungen. Nach gegenteiliger Ansicht fand die Gründung erst zu Beginn des 11. Jahrhunderts statt.

Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung des Klosters war im Jahre 1214, als Erzbischof Adolf I. von Köln die Schirmgerechtigkeit an das Stift versetzt. Eine zweite Urkunde findet sich 1227 als Bruno von Stypel die Vogtei über das Kloster Herdecke mit Zustimmung des Lehnsherrn Gerlach von Strünkede dem Kloster auf 4 Jahre verpfändete. Patrozinium waren Maria und Benedikt. In dem Güter- und Einkünfteregister des Frauenkonvents von 1229 ist schon eine große Zahl von Besitzungen verzeichnet. So werden alleine im Hagener Raum 14 Orte mit teilweise mehreren Besitzungen genannt, wobei es sich hierbei alle um die Erstnennung von heute noch als Hagener Orts- bzw. Stadtteile bestehenden Wohnplätzen handelt. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert nennen Quellen einige Äbtissinnen und Stiftsdamen aus dem regionalen Adel. Es gab einen Stifts-Küster, einen Stifts-Bäcker (Back- und Brauhaus) und die Stifts-Amtmänner stellten die Familien Giseler, Deutecom, Rütger und Sümmermann.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts wird von prekären wirtschaftlichen und personellen Zuständen berichtet, von denen sich das Kloster aber wieder erholte. Im Jahre 1265 werden die Klostergebäude als zerstört erwähnt. Seit 1313 ist die Zugehörigkeit zum Benediktinerorden belegt, demnach ist es möglich, dass das Stift eine Tochtergründung von St. Maria im Kapitol zu Köln ist. Das Marktrecht wurde von Engelbert III. von der Mark erstmals 1355 verliehen. 1374 gab Graf Engelbert dem Stift und dessen Leuten auch die Befreiung von aller Schatzung. 1487 versichert Herzog Johann von Kleve, dass die an ihn vom Kloster Herdecke bewilligte Beisteuer, ihnen zu keinem Nachteil gereichen solle. Im Laufe des Jahres 1488 wurde das Kloster in ein freiweltliches Damenstift überführt, welches im gleichen Jahr durch einen päpstlichen Legaten bestätigt wurde.

Ab 1666 wurde das Damenstift Herdecke zu einem konfessionsübergreifenden Simultanstift, in dem die unverheirateten Töchter des evangelischen-lutherischen, des evangelisch-reformierten und katholischen Adels versorgt wurden. Aufgrund eines 1672 geschlossenen Religionsvergleichs durften die katholisch gebliebenen Stiftsdamen neben dem Stift eine eigene Kapelle bauen. Am 6. Oktober 1700 erlaubte Kurfürst Friedrich III. dem inzwischen rein protestantischen Damenstift die Bestellung eines reformierten Predigers.

Mit der Säkularisation wurde das Stift durch die Regierung der  Grafschaft Berg zum 1. Januar 1812 aufgehoben. Auf dem Gelände des Stifts befindet sich heute die evangelische Stiftskirche St. Marien.

Pub reopens with brand new look following major revamp
Diane and Mark Burton with the team at the Birch Tree Inn.
A POPULAR Brierley Hill pub is back open for business following £300,000 of investment.
The Birch Tree Inn, based on Vicarage Road, has been spruced up following a major cash boost from independent pub company Punch.
Publicans Diane and Mark Burton have taken on the new look watering hole and have been moved by the support the new pub has received so far.
Diane said: "We are excited to be working with Punch to bring this beautiful pub back into the heart of the community. The response on Facebook has been overwhelming, 220 likes in 48 hours totally blew us away! So many positive messages of support have got us really excited to take on the new adventure."
Punch, which operates 1,200 pubs around the country, has ploughed £283,907 to breath new life into the pub.
New additions include children's play equipment, a beer garden and a fully refurnished interior with fresh furniture and a brand new dining area.
Andy Spencer, from Punch, said: "This is a significant investment in a traditional community pub, and we are really pleased with the new look created. We are excited to be working with Diane and Mark who bring a wealth of experience and expertise which will ensure the local community will benefit from a terrific pub for many years."


After his preseason gaff after putting QB Mark Sanchez in behind center during the fourth quarter of a meaningless preseason game because he wanted to win, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan is now paying for it when the games really count.
Sanchez hurt his shoulder in the game and now he is expected to miss at least several weeks of the regular season when the games really count.
After signing Brady Quinn off the waiver wire on Monday, the Jets QB depth chart has rookie Geno Smith, Matt Simms, and Quinn. Word on the streets is that the Jets may release Sanchez.
If the Jets were to release Sanchez, they would absorb a cap hit of $8.25 million.

What started off as a cheap method of transportation in the 1940s went on to become one of the most beloved scooters in the world. Yes, we are talking about the Vespa, the Italian scooter brand that has grown into a global phenomenon and over the years has become synonymous with youth and freedom.
The production of the cheap and reliable Italian toy-like Vespa began in 1946, and soon many rival scooters had emerged from different parts of the world. However, it took nearly a decade before it became a global star, when William Wyler's 1953 movie Roman Holiday introduced it to the worldwide audience.
The movie that vaulted Audrey Hepburn to stardom did the same for the two-wheeled icon, and in a period of only three years, over half a million Vespas were sold worldwide. Millions of Vespa motor scooters have been made to date and sold, with many of them eventually ending up as scrap metal after years of loyal service to their owners.
While some people view the Vespa as a simple and cheap means of transportation, others have found a way more creative use, turning old Vespas into a kind of accessory, useful and practical, not just a Feng-Sui item. One such individual is Nick Smith, the founder of Smithers of Stamford, an online vintage, industrial, retro furniture, and lighting store. Their specialty: repurposing and transforming vintage products such as Vespas that went out of fashion into something cool and exciting.
Smithers of Stamford's specialty is repurposing and transforming vintage products such as Vespas that went out of fashion into something cool and exciting. Author: Smithers of Stamford.
Smith says that his love of scooters started early in life and by the time he reached 13 years of age, he already owned a Vespa 90 and had been caught by the police riding it illegally a few times. Vespa Primavera was the second scooter Smith owned, but he says that his absolute personal preference was the arrival of his first Lambretta. "The retro styling of the Lambretta was everything I wanted in a scooter and it's been my first choice ever since," he adds.
Smithers of Stamford is an online vintage, industrial, retro furniture and lighting store set up by Nick Smith. Author: Smithers of Stamford.
With the support of Emma, his life partner, and secret weapon, Smith founded Smithers of Stamford in 2014, and to this day, they continue working with the same enthusiasm and passion, always striving for the highest standards and favoring the flawless.
"We specialize in high-end retro furniture, up-cycled products, industrial lighting and quirky homewares that you won't find on the high street," Smith says.
When one considers Smith's long love affair with the Vespa scooters, it comes as no surprise that scooter-themed furniture has been an integral part of Smithers of Stamford's catalog of its somewhat eclectic products. "Here at Smithers, we've incorporated all sorts of discarded items into good quality repurposed furniture and it was whilst walking around Wicksteed Scooter Parts Fair that the idea came to me. I had noticed a few Vespa Sprints and Rally frames at the fair that were being sold for parts and scrap and, unlike most normal people, I thought what amazing chairs they would make. With a rough design idea in mind, I bought them there and then and took them back to Smithers HQ," Smith told The Vintage News.
They have poured their hearts and souls into transforming vintage Vespa scooters into unique retro and vintage-looking furniture. By using genuine Vespa scooter back-ends and adding reclaimed wood footboards and a brand new brown seat for extra comfort, they have created these outstanding Vespa Chairs.
"We don't do boring here at Smithers and love the fact that the materials which have been repurposed into an exciting new design have lived a previous life and covered many miles," Smith writes on Smithers of Stamford's website.
From what we are able to see from the video posted on their Facebook page, the process of creating Vespa Chairs seems to be quite complex and requires a lot of dedication, skilled designers, and talented craftsmen. "I pride myself on designing and providing furniture that is not only high quality, but that dares to be different. Up-cycling products destined for the scrap heap is not only eco-friendly but also showcases a unique style that brand new products are incapable of. The fact that I can now bring my love of scooters into my work ethic is just an added bonus," Smith added.
By creating these magnificent Vespa Chairs, Smithers of Stamford did not just simply give a second chance to the vintage Vespa scooters previously doomed for scrap metal, but they have also reminded us how important it can be to recycle, reduce, and reuse.

Whistler Reads: THE AUDACITY OF HOPE
abstract: The next Whistler Reads (WR) meeting will take place May 10th at the WPL. This is our eighteenth book pick. Alternating between fiction and nonfiction titles, we have chosen The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama. With the Democratic primaries heating-up in the neck-to-neck race between Hillary and Obama, this is going to be a stunning meeting. We have a political skit planned by a former Second City actor and his team. Conservative candidate John Weston (Sea to Sky Corridor + Sunshine Coast) will discuss the book and field questions. John is himself an author, and he is passionate about Obama's non-partisan politics. Listening to John's voice message I learned he is muliti-lingual, and speaks English, French and Mandarin fluently. Don't forget - Sunday is Mothers Day. Bring yours and we'll have a long-stemmed rose waiting for her.
March 08, 2008 — At this writing Obama was in the lead with 1,392 delegates to Hillary's 1,236. It is a slim lead and each closing state has produced a pendulum in results. It takes 2,025 to win. Looking at a map of the divide in states we see that Obama (dark blue) takes the center of the country and Hillary (light blue) takes the coasts. That's quite interesting, because it is exactly how the Republican and Democrats usually divide-up into red vs blue. (Red in the US is Republican and blue is Democrat). In Canada we label the Conservative party blue and the Liberal party red - just the opposite for the political ideologies. Although, one hastens to add that in Canada the Conservative Party is somewhat left of right as compared to the Republicans. Canada is said to be a more "socialized" country than the USA.
So where does that leave us on Obama's platform vs Hillary's? Where does that leave us on leadership style and competency? Who will make the best next president? How much of this is a gender vs race issue? Let's find out. Pick up a copy of The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama and browse the links we've provided. Send any questions you'd like to pose to the group to: whistlerreads@bookbuffet.com
I found a rousing perspective on www.identitytheory.com that echos the sentiments of people across America who support Barak Obama. Take a look and see what you think.
Here is an article on www.twitter.com announcing Obama's March 18th speech on the topic of race.

20 Second Interview: A Few Words with Barack Obama
Q: How did writing a book that you knew would be read so closely by so many compare to writing your first book, when few people knew who you were?
A: In many ways, Dreams from My Father was harder to write. At that point, I wasn't even sure that I could write a book. And writing the first book really was a process of self-discovery, since it touched on my family and my childhood in a much more intimate way. On the other hand, writing The Audacity of Hope paralleled the work that I do every day--trying to give shape to all the issues that we face as a country, and providing my own personal stamp on them.
Q: What is your writing process like? You have such a busy schedule, how did you find time to write?
A: I'm a night owl, so I usually wrote at night after my Senate day was over, and after my family was asleep--from 9:30 p.m. or so until 1 a.m. I would work off an outline--certain themes or stories that I wanted to tell--and get them down in longhand on a yellow pad. Then I'd edit while typing in what I'd written.
Q: If readers are to come away from The Audacity of Hope with one action item (a New Year's Resolution for 2007, perhaps?), what should it be?
A: Get involved in an issue that you're passionate about. It almost doesn't matter what it is--improving the school system, developing strategies to wean ourselves off foreign oil, expanding health care for kids. We give too much of our power away, to the professional politicians, to the lobbyists, to cynicism. And our democracy suffers as a result.
Q: You're known for being able to work with people across ideological lines. Is that possible in today's polarized Washington?
A: It is possible. There are a lot of well-meaning people in both political parties. Unfortunately, the political culture tends to emphasize conflict, the media emphasizes conflict, and the structure of our campaigns rewards the negative. I write about these obstacles in chapter 4 of my book, "Politics." When you focus on solving problems instead of scoring political points, and emphasize common sense over ideology, you'd be surprised what can be accomplished. It also helps if you're willing to give other people credit--something politicians have a hard time doing sometimes.
Q: How do you make people passionate about moderate and complex ideas?
A: I think the country recognizes that the challenges we face aren't amenable to sound-bite solutions. People are looking for serious solutions to complex problems. I don't think we need more moderation per se--I think we should be bolder in promoting universal health care, or dealing with global warming. We just need to understand that actually solving these problems won't be easy, and that whatever solutions we come up with will require consensus among groups with divergent interests. That means everybody has to listen, and everybody has to give a little. That's not easy to do.
Q: What has surprised you most about the way Washington works?
A: How little serious debate and deliberation takes place on the floor of the House or the Senate.
Q: You talk about how we have a personal responsibility to educate our children. What small thing can the average parent (or person) do to help improve the educational system in America? What small thing can make a big impact?
A: Nothing has a bigger impact than reading to children early in life. Obviously we all have a personal obligation to turn off the TV and read to our own children; but beyond that, participating in a literacy program, working with parents who themselves may have difficulty reading, helping their children with their literacy skills, can make a huge difference in a child's life.
Q: Do you ever find time to read? What kinds of books do you try to make time for? What is on your nightstand now?
A: Unfortunately, I had very little time to read while I was writing. I'm trying to make up for lost time now. My tastes are pretty eclectic. I just finished Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, a wonderful book. The language just shimmers. I've started Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which is a great study of Lincoln as a political strategist. I read just about anything by Toni Morrison, E.L. Doctorow, or Philip Roth. And I've got a soft spot for John le Carre.
Q: What inspires you? How do you stay motivated?
A: I'm inspired by the people I meet in my travels--hearing their stories, seeing the hardships they overcome, their fundamental optimism and decency. I'm inspired by the love people have for their children. And I'm inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man.—from Amazon.com

Oh man… the universe really did not want me to make this update. I blew all the power in my apartment last night blow-drying this past page. And then I had to wait till this morning for maintenance to be here to replace my fuze. @__@ gah! But at least I was able to get up early and get this to you. I'm feeling a bit better-ish from con plague… Come back tomorrow for a brand new page!
Stana looks so wise and ancient in the last frame, like one who has seen the turn of the universe. Full of mystery and knowledge.
Awwww ^___^- that makes me happy to hear….

Thanks to the stretchy no-damage elastic at the back of the headband, and the internal hair grips, this is one headband that won't slip or slide, within minutes of you putting it in your hair. At the top of the flexiband, where it is at its widest, the headband measures 4.5cm in width.


Add these essential sandals from Coconuts by Matisse to your closet! These classic sandals come in slide on style and suede strap. Available in black, white, and coral.
Full sizes only, size up if you wear a half size.
