I received a copy of TT Full Throttle free for an honest review.
Scott has one obsession: to fulfill his late father's dream of racing in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races, the most dangerous and prestigious motorcycle road race in the world. Far from their home in British Columbia and still reeling from a recent tragedy, Scott and his roommates-turned-pit crew have only five days during Practice Week to secure a spot in the TT. Scott must qualify with a fast enough time or he doesn't race. But the pressure of working with a rookie crew on the potentially lethal course puts Scott's safety and his friendships on the line. As race day draws near he and his friends will have to swallow their pride to help Scott achieve his dream.
This book about motorcross racing had a lot more than I was expecting- suspense, drama, emotion, and enough technical information to make the book come alive.
Plot: In the story, Scott and his friends must work together to get to the coveted Isle of Man race. As someone not that interested in motorcross racing, I thought the plot was a little slow at first, but once the story began to unfold, I found myself involved in the story anyway.
Characters: All of the characters have their own unique personality and stand out from one another. In some ways, the characters reminded me of the ones from Muckers.
Setting: Nicole Winters did a lot of research before writing this book, and you can definitely tell. I enjoyed the detailed information about racing, bike parts, and the sport in general.
Writing: This book is quite well-written. It is specifically targeted for boys. Some boys may not be into books, but this book is "sporty" enough to draw in reluctant readers, I believe.
I enjoyed reading this book, and I think anyone remotely interested in motorcross racing, or sports in general, will enjoy reading this book- especially the teen boys Winters hopes to attract.
Some people simply do not like to take the time to read. My husband is such a person. People of all ages have this problem. Kids often face this issue because they still struggle with reading fluently. A book's plot has to be pretty engaging to keep a new reader involved. I started reading for fun around the age of 8 or 9, and I never stopped. Part of what kept me reading, however, may be the fact that my mother always gave me great books to read! Anyway, here is a list of books that I think are engaging enough to interest even a reluctant reader of any age.
These books were some of my favorites as a kid. I loved reading about the mysteries and trying to solve them. Of course, I was really bad at solving them, but I always tried!
These books were after my time, but everyone who has a first through third grader simply raves about how much their children love them.
Actually, anything by Judy Blume is interesting enough to engage younger children. My daughter loves the Fudge books.
Just like Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary knows how to engage a child's mind. I loved these stories when I was younger, and I still get a good laugh out of them now.
This series has a secret world, hidden destinies, and fighting. What more could children want?
I thought these books were really dumb. Then I read one. They are really funny. Children who might still be hesitant to read books without illustrations can use this series as a bridge to longer reads.
Something about boarding school and magical destinies help children get into reading.
In this series, the poor children face one horrible situation after another. It's hilarious. I love the way the entire series ends. I don't think it could have been better.
Something about this book is appealing to people of all ages. Fighting animals, secret prophecies, epic quests- they are all there. Also, the food descriptions are amazing. The audio version of the Redwall stories are also amazing.
Even though I think this series started as a blatant rip-off of The Lord of the Rings, children seem to love it much more. I have no idea why.
Space adventures, oh yeah! Something about this series is appealing from start to finish. The Ender series is one of my favorite book series in all the world. But I prefer the classic set to the newer novels .
This book by Dan Brown is easy to read, fast-paced, and full of adventure.
This book by Michael Crichton focuses on tiny dangerous micro organisms that may destroy the world! Pretty much all of his stories are about things that may destroy the world. That is why they are fun to read.
This book about the Civil War is perfect for people who love history. It is all based on letters and actual events of the Civil War, and is highly historically accurate.
A crazy, off-beat space adventure about the end of the world. It's very funny.
Much like The Hunger Games, The Woodlands follows the story of a young girl in a dystopian universe. But I like it better.
What books got you into reading?
Do you have a teen boy? Sometimes it can be hard to get older boys to be interested in books. These books are packed full of action and should appeal to the sense of adventure in any teen boy.
This classic adventure follows the travels of a mysterious submarine captain back become submarines existed. This story is perfect for boys interested in science and nature.
This series follows the adventures of famous book characters from the Victorian period as they do fantastic things. The book is classified as steampunk, because the focus is on machinery. Any gadget-focused guy will love reading this story!
If your teen is interested in highly detailed fantasy and science fiction worlds, he should love the Dune universe. The universe is so detailed that there is a separate holy book that the author wrote just to quote before the chapter beginnings. This is space fantasy at it's best!
This is one of the most epic series of fantasy books ever. Nearly all fantasy stories since the publication of this book have copied many of the elements in the story. This story follows an epic adventure of the classic struggle between good and evil.
The Ender's game series starts with children playing war in an asteroid, but after the first book you realize how complex the universe actually is. I particularly recommend the stories written about Peter and the other gifted children while Ender was colonizing new worlds, such as Sjhadow of the Giant and Shadow Puppets.
This man was able to create a hilarious nonsensical world in several different universes, ranging from time-traveling aliens to a pathetically bad private investigator.
The Discworld is a tongue-in-cheek universe that mocks our current society and developments. This series is best suited to a boy who doesn't take life seriously and gets annoyed at books that take themselves too seriously.
If the teen boy in your life does not like to read at all, consider the gift of the Zombie Survival Guide. This hilarious little manual instructs the reader on what to do in case of zombie attack. He may also like the book inspired by the Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z.
What books do the teen boys in your life love to read?

Bideford author released 32nd and 33rd history books
Updated: Wednesday, November 7, 2018 (16:51)
Peter Christie with his two new books.
A Bideford author has released his 32nd and 33rd history books.
Peter Christie has released the 11th issue of Illustrations of Old Bideford, as well as a new booked called The Introduction of Motor Vehicles in North Devon.
The first is the penultimate in the series, and Peter said he thinks the 12th book, which is already in the works, will be the last.
The second has come from his 35 years of research reading past issues of the Gazette and North Devon Journal.
He said: "Cars were the single biggest change in our society in the last 100 years.
"I've taken it up to 1914 with lots of cuttings and sections of accidents and dust, because roads didn't have Tarmac then."
The next books Peter has in the pipeline are on the history of collar factories in North Devon, and on the Bideford Bridge Trust's 18th century minute book.
All Peter's books can be found at Walter Henry's book shop in Bideford High Street.

We Are The Dreams That Never Die – Part Two
"I-I-I'm you? What does that even mean? If you're not me, how the FUCK can I be you?" Marty growls as he tightens his hands into fists.
"Does it matter? All you need to under…."
"YES IT BLOODY WELL DOES MATTER! If I'm not ME and YOU ARE, who the HELL does that make me?"
"I don't think you understand what I'm saying."
"OF COURSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE QUESTIONED YOU ABOUT SINCE YOU APPEARED," Marty spits venomously as he scrambles to his feet while Abbey still firmly presses herself to the ground whimpering in fear as her eyes dart in all directions, watching invisible enemies move about like dying leaves falling from a tree. "So tell me again, and MAKE sense this time. Who the FUCK are you?"
They stand there staring at each other for more moments than can be recalled, until finally Marty's doppelgänger opens his mouth to speak.
"It started with an idea, a birth you could call it." He says as he looks around the empty street and throws his arms open wide, gesturing to the nothingness around them. "Like all births, it was labored into the world by a mother who cared more than anything for its child. But the child cared little for its mother's love, for it had feed on her essence long before it was given form and freedom outside the womb, and all that was really left was a worthless husk. So it concentrated its desires on its father in the hope of becoming complete. In the hope of becoming the only one. Its attack was relentless, severing everything that bound its father to the mortal world, trapping him inside a nonexistent place while it quietly sucked everything he was away." Marty's doppelgänger says, his gauntness now fully exposed to Marty's open and desperate eyes.
"W-W-What does this have to do with m-m-m-me?"
"Everything, nothing, and all that exists between the spaces of every word ever written," he says as he holds a hand out towards Marty. "I'm not here to hurt you Marty, I'm here so we can save what's left of our soul."
"H-H-Ho… I don't understand," Marty says nervously.
His doppelgänger smiles softly. "You will," he says as the world bleeds away into nothingness and Marty finds himself standing in the doorway of his bedroom, looking out in the hallway as the lights flicker with excitement. Abbey lets out a barrage of violent barks quickly followed by a loud yelp and then silence…

When you're looking to remodel or renovate your home, you may find yourself having to choose between multiple financing options like credit cards, home equity loans, and personal loans.
In many cases, remodeling your home has many benefits such as increasing the value of your home. However, these improvements and renovations are costly and unless you have saved up a large amount of cash, you will need some kind of loan to finance the remodeling. Between credit cards, personal loans, and home loans, it may seem difficult to know which route to take.
Whatever your situation, there is a loan that will work for you. Below, we break down the different types of home improvement loans and your best option.
Those who have little home equity and a small home improvement project that can be paid off in less than seven years.
You can qualify for low interest rates on personal loans with good credit.
Unsecured personal loans have higher interest rates than a home equity loan or line of credit.
A personal loan is a loan that can be used for any personal reason like paying off consolidated debts, funding a wedding, or home improvement. If you have good credit, you are more likely to qualify for a personal loan with good loan terms, higher amounts, and low interest rates. If you have bad credit, qualifying for a personal loan is much more difficult and receiving low interest rates is nearly impossible.
Personal loan providers generally offer loans based on your creditworthiness, but many of them also look at your career, income, and education.
Applications for personal loans only take a few minutes and funds are usually directly deposited into your account in one or two business days.
Most personal loans are unsecured loans with fixed rates, although there are loans available that allow you to put up collateral for a lower interest rate or even give you short-term lower variable rates.
Interest rates for personal loans generally range from 4% to 36%. If you have trouble qualifying for low interest rates due to your credit score, you can improve it though credit repair.
We recommend personal loan services like LightStream and SoFi for competitive low interest rates and high loan amounts. If you want to shop your options, LendingTree and EVEN Financial have a large marketplace of lenders offering a variety of loan amounts, terms, and interest rates.
Consumers who are looking for personal loans with interest rates under 36%.
The application process for a P2P loan is fairly quick and simple.
They have fixed, competitive rates and no prepayment penalties.
P2P loan rates can be high if you have bad credit.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) loans are personal loans that are funded by anonymous lenders through an online lending network. These online lenders make a profit by taking a cut of the repayment terms and charging an origination fee.
P2P loans can range from $1,000 to $40,000 and usually have loan terms ranging from one to five years. Depending on the lender, loan rates can vary greatly, although most rates are capped at 36%.
All loans are funded anonymously, which guarantees that you won't receive any phone calls or emails from your lenders.
We recommend reputable lending services like Prosper and LendingClub to fund your P2P loans.
Consumers who don't qualify for a personal loan and are looking for a lower interest rate.
The application process is simple since there is no appraisal or home equity required.
With bad credit, you may wind up with high interest rates and loan amounts that are lower than what you need.
This line of credit can be unsecured or secured with collateral like your home and automobile.
Secured lines of credit generally have lower lines of credit. For an unsecured line of credit, lenders check your creditworthiness, income, and employment.
Personal lines of credit are similar to credit cards in the sense that they let you borrow only what you need whenever you need it.
Credit lines have variable interest rates that can change over time and be applied to your balance. These rates increase greatly over time, so be wary of your term length since the loan may become difficult to repay.
Consumers who want to take a personal loan with low interest rates, even if they don't have good credit.
Federal credit unions do not allow APRs to go over 18%.
Borrowers may not qualify for a high enough amount if they have bad credit.
If your credit is less than stellar, a local trusted credit union may be the best option for a personal loan.
These loans have much lower interest rates than online lenders.
Consumers with excellent credit who need to fund a small project.
Qualifying for a 0% interest credit card allows you to be interest-free for a set period of time, usually 12 to 18 months.
The interest rates for temporary 0% credit cards can increase your debt exponentially if you don't pay it off in time, which can seriously damage your credit score.
Because of their high interest rates, credit cards can wind up costing you much more in the long run. These rates can range between 16.7% to 22.99% of your total balance, meaning that your total payment amount can increase greatly if you don't pay off your balance within the monthly billing period.
If you only need to fund a small project and you can qualify for a 0% APR credit card for a temporary period (usually around 12 to 18 months), credit cards are worth looking into if you are sure you can pay off the full balance before the 0% period is over.
Borrowers with large home equity.
You receive larger loan amounts and fixed interest rates.
These loans have higher interest rates than no cash-out refinancing and primary refinances.
Closing costs can go into the thousands.
The application process can be time-consuming and requires a good amount of documentation.
Cash-out refinancing is one of the most common ways to pay for a home improvement project. This allows you to refinance your current mortgage for more than your current outstanding balance and then use the difference to fund your home improvement project. Your new loan may even have lower monthly payments and interest rates.
Interest rates for cash-out refinancing are usually tax-deductible and vary by the loan amount, lender, and home equity.
Conventional cash-out refinancing allows you to use a large amount of cash for large home renovations if you have large home equity. These loans are based on your LTV and require an 80% loan-to-value ratio (the loan amount compared with your home's market value).
If you lack home equity or don't have a high enough credit score, it can be incredibly difficult to qualify for the amount you need. Most lenders look for a minimum credit score of 640, although some loans are available for those with a credit score of 620. If you qualify with a lower credit score, you will pay much more in interest rates.
Consumers who need federal programs for home renovations.
Homeowners can receive financing for Energy Efficient Mortgage programs.
Qualifying for these programs and receiving low rates depend on your creditworthiness.
There are federal programs that assist consumers with home renovations. The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) has two programs: Energy Efficient Mortgages and Title I loans.
The Energy Efficient Mortgage program allows consumers to finance a portion of energy efficiency improvements that include wall insulation and solar panel roofing.
Title I loans allow the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to authorize lenders in every state to fund home renovation loans. These interest rates are based on your credit history and current market rates. The Department of Housing and Urban Development should have lenders listed for your state under the category Title I Home Improvement.
Consumers who are looking for longer repayment terms.
These loans are approved much more quickly than cash-out refinances.
Closing costs can be lower than cash-out refinancing.
Interest rates can be higher than cash-out refinances.
Loan amounts are usually small.
Without a high credit score, the interest rates for home equity loans and HELOCs can be high.
You can lose your home if you don't repay your loan.
Home equity loans are fixed-rate personal loans secured by your home. These loans allow you to borrow up to 80% of your home's market value minus the amount owed on your mortgage.
Although they tend to have higher interest rates and smaller loan amounts, they also have lower closing costs and repayment terms up to 20 years.
These loans are provided in a lump sum and paid off in monthly installments, usually with fixed rates. Consult a tax consultant to see if your home equity loan interest payments are tax deductible.
Consumers who need to access funds regularly.
You can use as much as you need whenever you need it.
You receive low monthly payments during the borrowing period.
These loans have low closing costs.
Variable rates may rise depending on the Federal Reserve's prime rate.
The monthly payments can become incredibly high during the repayment period.
You may use too much of your available credit and hurt your credit score.
HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit) are revolving lines of credit with variable rates. Like credit cards, you can use the amount needed whenever you need it and you can pay it off either in full or pay the minimum amount to cover the interest due.
However, the HELOC draw period ends (usually after 10 years) and the repayment period begins with the loan becoming amortized. Your payment amount is your borrowed amount plus interest. You can contact a tax consultant to determine whether your interest payments are tax deductible.
Homeowners who have large investment portfolios.
You can receive a large revolving line of credit.
The monthly repayment amount can be large because of added interest.
Consumers can receive a line of credit if they have investment portfolios of $200,000 or greater.
This loan is similar to a HELOC or credit card since you receive a revolving line of credit. Your credit line depends on your investment types and amounts.
Consumers with lower credit scores and higher debt-to-income ratios.
Homeowners can qualify for this loan even with a credit score as low as 580.
This loan has fixed interest rates.
You may be able to change your loan terms in the long run, such as lowering your interest rate or converting a 30-year fixed rate to a 15-year fixed rate loan.
You can borrow more funds because of the 85% maximum LTV.
You will get a fee of 1.75% of the loan amount.
FHA cash-out refinances are backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to reduce loan risk to lenders. This allows homeowners with higher debt-to-income ratio and lower credit scores qualify for the loan they need.
Veterans and current service members.
You can receive your funds quickly.
These loans have fixed interest rates.
These loans have higher rates than another VA-backed mortgage refinances.
VA cash-out refinances are loans available to eligible servicepersons and veterans which can be used to refinance both VA and non-VA backed loans. These loans can finance up to 100% of your home's value.
To qualify, you must have a property appraisal, income verification, and establish your eligibility based on your military service.
Consumers who have a home in an ideal location but need major renovations.
This loan is an affordable option.
There is no home equity needed.
Consumers with bad credit have a chance at qualifying for a loan with a credit score as low as 580.
Applying for the loan is time-consuming and requires paperwork from the borrower and contractors.
These homes are not eligible for flipping by investors.
Because this is a home improvement loan, you may be required to perform additional renovations to make sure you meet all health, safety, and building codes.
An FHA home improvement loan is also known as the 203k loan. This loan can be used for either home purchasing, refinancing, or home improvements. The loan amount can go as high as 97.75% of the home's future value and the minimum down payment is only 3.5%.
Because qualifying for an FHA home improvement loan has lax guidelines, there are strict rules for the types of property that qualify. For example, your home must be your primary residence and you cannot have anything that the FHA deems a luxury.
Consumers who want long-term loans for medium-sized projects.
There are no minimum credit score or income requirements set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, so you can qualify even with bad credit.
There is no home equity required for these loans.
Your loan amount is relatively small and is capped at $25,000.
This loan allows you to borrow up to $25,000 for home renovations. Loans under $7,500 are generally unsecured while anything larger requires you to use your home as collateral.
You must own the home or have a long-term lease.
The house must have been built and occupied for a minimum of 90 days.
The loan must be verified to be used for specific home improvements.
You must have a debt-to-income ratio of 45% or less.
There are no adjustable-rate loans available so you will either have fixed or variable rates through your entire loan term, which can last up to 20 years.
Borrowers who are looking for state and local loan programs that assist them with specific purposes like improving energy efficiency or financing home purchases.
There are multiple different types of loans to choose from that can be found through a quick Google search.
If you live in a state without many options, finding funding may be difficult.
Aside from federal programs, loan programs can be offered by state or local services, including in counties and municipalities.
Borrowers who can find trusted contractors.
Your contractor helps you find financing, which cuts down all the steps you need for renovating your home.
Terms and rates vary greatly and depend on your lender.
Around 42% of general contractors offer financing options, while others can assist you in finding a loan from a third party.
You can check reviews for loans provided by your contractor and lender through the Better Business Bureau or state's consumer affairs office. You can also compare your loan offers with what you would receive for other lenders, banks, and credit unions.
Consumers who have a retirement account and no other means to borrow.
You can receive quick access to funds.
There are tax penalties for withdrawing these funds.
Not all 401(k) plans allow you to borrow money.
We don't recommend using this method unless it is for a last-ditch effort to fund your renovations. Borrowing from your 401(k) has a 10% penalty on early withdrawals and severe tax consequences if the money is not repaid.
Using your 401(k) allows you to receive your funds quickly and pay them back at low interest rates, which ends up being contributed to your plan in the long run. These loans have to be repaid in five years, up to 60 payments, or within 60 days of leaving your employer.
Time: If your improvement project is time-sensitive, you may want to avoid loans like the 203K, which includes a lot of paperwork and takes time to process.
The amount you need to fund your project: Consider the amount of money you will need to finance your renovation. If you need a large amount of cash, a Title 1 loan may not be your best option since it is capped at $25,000 for single-family homes. If you simply want to add funds without refinancing, you can consider the FHA 203k loan.
Your credit score: If you have a good or excellent credit score, you could qualify for a large personal loan that could go as high as $100,000. If you have poor credit, you will have options but the interest rates will be so high that taking out a loan will not be worth the repayment amount. You may want to opt for an FHA Title 1 loan, which does not have a minimum credit score requirement or another government-backed loan. With a low credit score and little home equity, you will probably have to put up collateral to take out a secured loan without high-interest rates.
Home equity: Cash-out refinancing is a great option if you have large home equity and a high-interest rate on your first mortgage since refinancing can lower your interest rate and help you fund your renovation. If you have a good interest rate on your mortgage and have good equity, consider applying for a HELOC or home equity loan. If you have little equity, you may want to opt for an FHA Title 1 loan, FHA 203K loan, or a personal loan.
Energy efficiency: There are federal programs that allow consumers to finance energy improvement features in their home. Veterans can consider a VA Energy Efficient Mortgage.
Check your rates: No matter what quote you receive from a bank, credit union, or other lenders, be sure to research the current terms, fees, and rates with other loans. If you choose a loan with variable rates, compare the rates to the Federal Reserve hikes and check that they won't be raised too much if you chose a long loan term.

I',m using the Data port of the 897 to connect Signalink and am using the CAT port for the MFJ-897 auto tuner.

RIM's had a rough go of it in the past few months. But there's a shiny, glittering ray of hope peeking out from the collecting rubble, and it's called QNX. The Waterloo-based phone maker has been working for quite a while now on a replacement for its BlackBerry OS, and according to a report from BGR, the first QNX-powered handset (codenamed the BlackBerry Colt) will arrive in the first quarter of 2012.
Unfortunately RIM seems to be repeating past mistakes. After the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook, the tablet was called rushed and half-baked due to its lack of native email. The reason for this was that the company had to re-write code for its BlackBerry Enterprise Servers to work with QNX, which is apparently a very difficult task. These companies face a great deal of pressure from investors to launch as planned, so even without email, RIM pushed out the PlayBook anyway.
RIM seems to be making sacrifices with its first QNX phone, too. RIM had originally suggested that its first QNX-powered smartphones would pack dual-core chipsets. BGR's source, on the other hand, says that the Colt only touts a single-core processor. Obviously, this could change between now and Q1 2012 (and we hope it will), but as it stands now a multi-core chipset isn't part of the picture.
The unnamed source also suggested that RIM has a QNX-specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server in the works, but that the Colt won't be backwards-compatible with current BES versions. Companies opting to use Microsoft Exchange email on the Colt will have to use ActiveSync.
With RIM struggling as it has been, the first QNX-powered handset needs to be better than we could have imagined, even if it's late. Timeliness is important, but means nothing without a stellar product. Hopefully RIM will remember the PlayBook, and make sure this thing's ready to go before launch. After all, there's no new platform looming on the horizon to keep hope alive this time.

I think you are inspiring. I like you a lot. I like how generous you are and how kind you are and how sweet and nice you are. I hope you have a lovely Christmas! I like your reindeers and I like your elves and I think your heart is very sweet and kind. I like you a lot and I love you and Christmas.
At first glance, these are words from a 5-year old hankering for a very Littlest Pet Shop Christmas (Lord have mercy). But, if you know her, you'd know that she operates under the premise that the following are admirable qualities: inspiration, kindness, and generosity. These are traits that she asks about frequently. No wonder she digs on SC. He's her benchmark of an evolved person…and as her mother, I couldn't be prouder.
I tend to admire survivors who elevate our collective consciousness (Pema Chödrön comes to mind). I admire truth-tellers, visionaries, nice people and those committed to making this world a kinder, gentler place….and if they can make me laugh while they're at it, then I'm hooked forever-more.
You are now privy to my innermost yearnings…the person that embodies those qualities is the person that I am WANTING to become…my authentic self. I have miles to go before I sleep, but I am gaining on it. Very happily.
And you, who do you admire?

Tiger Golf Gathering

Glover and Redman Finish 20th at The Open Championship
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Doc Redman (70), Lucas Glover (71) and Kyle Stanley (71) all shot rounds at par or better on Sunday to finish among the top 41 players at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Northern Ireland. It marked the first time in history that three former Tigers finished in the top 41 of a professional Major Championship.
Redman and Glover tied for 20th in the final standings with 72-hole totals of 283, while Stanley finished 41st with a two-over-par score of 286. Redman and Glover are just the second and third former Clemson players to finish in the top 20 of any Major Championship.
Glover finished 12th at the 2011 Open Championship and that is the only finish that is better than the 20th place achieved by Glover this year and Redman. It was also the first major in which two former Tigers shot under-par for the 72 hole tournament.
Both players benefitted by difficult playing conditions late in the day. They were both in 35th place when Glover finished, but moved up 15 places in the standings by the end of the day.
Redman's performance was particularly impressive because it was his first professional major (played 2017 Masters as an amateur), and just his 11th PGA Tour even overall. He was one of just nine first-time performers to make the cut.
Four months ago Redman had no status and was practicing with the Clemson golf team at the Penley Building. After a second-place finish at the Quicken Loans Championship in Detroit, he earned conditional status for the remainder of the season. The second place finish also qualified him for the Open Championship. He is approaching $1 million in earnings for the year.
The native of Raleigh, who should still be a senior on the Clemson team, had rounds of 71-71-71-70 in recording his 283 total. He became the first Clemson golfer to shoot 71 or better in all four rounds in a major.
Redman got off to a great start with four birdies in his first six holes and he made the turn in 33 shots, his best nine-hole score of the week. He made a couple of bogeys late in the round, but got up-and-down from 30 yards away on the final hole to clinch his first career under-par round in a major.
Redman struggled in terms of driving the ball in the fairway as he hit just 5-14, but his scrambling was the best he has done all week. He hit 10-18 greens in regulation on Sunday and hit 45 of 72 for the week. He made birdie on every hole but the eighth on the front nine over the course of the week and played the front nine in six under par.
Glover had rounds of 72-69-71-71 in recording his 283 score. For the third straight round he played very well on the front nine and made the turn at one under par 35. He reached two under par for the day with a birdie on the par five 12th hole, but made bogey on each of the last two holes to finish at even par for the day and one under for the tournament. Glover made birdie on the second hole all four days, but made bogey on the 18th hole all four days.
Glover hit just 9-18 greens in regulation on Sunday, but was 46-72 for the week. He also drove the ball in the fairway for 41-56 holes. Glover did not have a double bogey all week on the course that had rough that was a foot high. He had 15 birdies and 14 bogeys. He had just one three-putt green all week.
Stanley had rounds of 75-67-73-71 for the week in recording his score of 286, two over par. His second round 67 and front nine 32 were the best by a former Tiger this week.
Stanley was Mr. Par on Sunday as he had 15 to go with two birdies and one double bogey on the 11th hole. He reached 9-18 greens in regulation and finished the tournament with 11 birdies and an eagle, but he had three double bogeys.


Sean and Alicia's wedding was absolutely hilarious!
she asked me to shoot her upcoming wedding!
Sean is Irish, so he knows how to have a good time with all the boys!
Then there was the hills. The rain. The light. The whole thing was amazing!
Thanks for having me spend your big day with you guys! So stoked!

Thom Yorke supports protesters
Radiohead's Thom Yorke played a secret gig to thank activists from Occupy London
December 7 2011 0:12 AM
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has become the latest big name to lend his support to protesters who have been camping outside St Paul's Cathedral.
https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/thom-yorke-supports-protesters-26800157.html
https://www.independent.ie/migration_catalog/74733/25267495.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/N0300201323216129059A_1
The singer joined up with 3D of Massive Attack to play a DJ set to "thank" activists from Occupy London who have been protesting against cuts.
The pair performed to a small audience of around 100 people at the top secret gig in the basement of the "Bank of Ideas", an abandoned UBS-owned office block in Hackney, east London.
Posters with slogans such as "Save our squatters" and "Big Sister is watching you" adorned the walls of the room, which was decorated to look like an office Christmas party.
Neither musician spoke to the audience, but both clapped the crowd as they applauded at the end of the hour-and-a-half set.
The campaigners have been camped in the courtyard of St Paul's since October 15. The group also occupies Finsbury Square in Islington, north London.
Other famous faces to have shown solidarity with the protesters are playwright Alan Bennett and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who both visited the site at St Paul's.

Add oat groats and simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for about 3 hours or overnight. Turn off heat and let sit for about 3 hours or overnight. Variations... 4) Steel-Cut Oats� These are oat groats (whole oats) that have been chopped into pieces, but not cooked or rolled. They are the most nutritious, as well as the most flavorful and the heartiest. They have a great chewy texture. They take the longest to cook, but are worth the wait. They are also known as Irish Oats.
Soaking oat groats overnight works really well, although soaking a few hours longer works even better, and here is a simple but tasty recipe. I like a big breakfast so I start with 2/3 cup of dry oat groats in a pot, then add 2 cups of water (a ratio of 1 cup of oats to 3 cups of water works well, the same ratio as for brown rice), then cover and let soak for 12 hours or at least for overnight how to cook peanuts in oil Also, can you use the kind of oats you would normally use (if I were still cooking, as I still have oats left over from the days of boiling haha) for oatmeal � or do you need to use oat groats? Just a lot to take in, and I get easily confused sometimes with all the new processes.

Adam Report
Brilliant Content Marketing…From 1995
adamokane.substack.com
Who knew so many people could care about a glass cleaner?
I was going through some old files the other day and stumbled upon something my dad did that I wanted to share here. Quick back story: my grandfather (my dad's father-in-law) ran a family company, Lawrence Plate Glass, that had been around since 1918. They had a product called ClearVue that they used in-house to clean the glass and sell in the shop. My grandfather hired my dad, who soon took notice of ClearVue, a glass cleaner that had a small but passionate fan base (they literally got fan mail from customers.) He spun ClearVue off into its own company, and the product was soon on the shelves in Walmart, K-Mart, Target, etc. (If you want to read more about ClearVue's story, here's a piece that Inc. did on the company years ago.)
Anyway, my dad knew how tough it'd be to compete with the Windexes of the world, so he had to come up with some interesting, offbeat ideas to win marketshare. People generally grab the same glass cleaner over and over, so earning loyalty was important. One thing he did was publish "The ClearVue Sun," a short, (mostly satirical) quarterly newsletter about the business and product. Now, if ClearVue were around today, it'd be incredibly easy and free to digitally publish something like this. Back then, though, you had to hire a printer, organize the addresses, mail out the newsletters, etc. They had thousands of subscribers. Seriously, think about that — how weird is it that this glass cleaner product/company inspired enough of a positive feeling within people that they subscribed to a mailed newsletter? It kind of blows my mind.
I've included a few photos of one edition. It's pretty funny. (I've written more below, too…)
In 1995, this newsletter really stood out. As far as I know, there were no other glass cleaners — in fact, there were probably no other household products — doing anything like this. Today, every company has a blog. "The ClearVue Sun" is proof that no matter what sort of product you sell (seriously…glass cleaner!) there are ways to tell stories that your customers will love and share.

The Point – Almost there. The Point, the second highest building in Malmö and fifth highest in Sweden is almost finished. It seems to have a perfect position in terms of connections to Malmö city, Copenhagen city and the rest of the World.
The Hyllie area in Malmö city, southern part of Sweden has experienced fast growth during some last years. Building up is still a very intensive process. We can notice that this part of the city is becoming a new popular area.
The Point, the second highest building in Malmö and fifth highest in Sweden is almost finished. With its 29 floors this interesting building will not beat Turning Torso, but they will together be Malmö's two highest points.
The Point, the second highest building in Malmö and fifth highest in Sweden will have 29 floors and it will be 110 meters high.
The Point will have 29 floors and it will be 110 meters high. (Turning Torso is 190 meters high and has 54 floors. ) There will be flexible alternatives for offices which means that your business can get its own are right in there. Also around 300 – 320 residential units will be there. Trains to Malmö city and Copenhagen city in Denmark are in the tunnel right below the building. And if you also are in need of flying, the Copenhagen airport Kastrup is only 12 minutes away.
So The Point seems to have a perfect position in terms of connections to Malmö city, Copenhagen city and the rest of the World.
Hopefully The Point will help Hyllie as a part of Malmö to develop in right direction. Since we can see parts of the city that remind us of ghettos, there is a risk that also Hyllie becomes similar. So if it goes well and if The Point creates a positive development then Sweden has succeded.

Dunkirk in Art
Post date 3rd July 2019
In this post I look at the artworks of events at Dunkirk in 1940. Some would have been sketched or observed on the day, others were painted with eye-witness reports and photographs. Many were finished in a studio in the weeks and months after.
On 10 May 1940, Germany invaded France and the Low Countries, pushing the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), along with French and Belgian troops, back to the French port of Dunkirk. A huge rescue, Operation 'Dynamo', was organised by the Royal Navy to get the troops off the beaches and back to Britain. ‡
'Dynamo' began on 26 May. Strong defences were established around Dunkirk, and the Royal Air Force sent all available aircraft to protect the evacuation. Over 800 naval vessels of all shapes and sizes helped to transport troops across the English Channel. The last British troops were evacuated on 3 June, with French forces covering their escape. Churchill and his advisers had expected that it would be possible to rescue only 20,000 to 30,000 men, but in all 338,000 troops, a third of them French, were rescued. Ninety thousand remained to be taken prisoner and the BEF left behind the bulk of its tanks and heavy guns. All resistance in Dunkirk ended at 9.30am on 4 June. ‡
When I saw the Richard Eurich picture below, the sea was so well painted it looked like glass. It was at an exhibition in the Queens House, Greenwich. It is a fantastic picture that viewed in a book or on the internet doesn't comprehend. It was also used by the Navy as its Christmas card for 1940.

Below is a painting by Wilkinson who to my eye is the master of painting seascapes. He has a wonderful repertoire of boats and the lighting in this painting is a marvel. Though beautiful, it also shows the hellish chaos of the day.
Norman Wilkinson – The Little Ships at Dunkirk, 1940
The Little Ships at Dunkirk: June 1940, by Norman Wilkinson. The gently shelving beaches meant that large warships could only pick up soldiers from the town's East Mole, a sea wall which extended into deep water, or send their boats on the beaches to collect them. To speed up the process, the British Admiralty appealed to the owners of small boats for help. These became known as the 'little ships'. ‡
Newspaper with the small announcement under 'War Artists'.
On Thursday, 7th March, 1940, three days before his 37th birthday, it was announced in the British papers that Edward Bawden and Barnett Freeman were to become Official War Artists on behalf of the British War Office.
In the first days of April, Ardizzone (Edward) and Bawden took rooms for a while in the hotel Commerce in Arras, fussed over by a shared batman. They enjoyed the local wine and hospitality, before being billeted separately. Arras was dour, small and grey, It was also the GHQ for the British Army in France. †
Arras in France is just over fifty miles away on a map, from April to May the retreat to Dunkirk was rapid and not an inspiring start for a war artist. In this short time Bawden said he was passed from regiments and groups rapidly as none of them wanted the alien burden of an artist to deal with, but being on the move a lot may have prepared his sketching style ready for Dunkirk where rapid copy was needed.
On his way to Dunkirk, Bawden has rolled up his paintings in a cylindrical tin which he clutched under his arm. †
Approaching the port, he ditched all his equipment except his art materials (what would the Germans have done with them?) Marching into the town, they ran the gauntlet of ragged French soldiers jeering them. It discomforted him, as did the looters sweeping like locusts through abandoned houses. †

He reached the quayside in the company of a Canadian major, and they watched with dismay the frantic self-preservation of a group of British generals on the Dunkirk quayside, the swagger sticks pointing at likely boats bound for England. He turned to the major, with a wry smile. 'Rats always go first' he said. †

The de Lank Quarry Cornwall
Post date 28th March 2019
One of the nicer parts of my researches into the histories of Edward Bawden and John Nash is looking at the works they created on holiday together. As artists visiting a place together it seems they would look at a subject (the bridge at Ironbridge) and wonder around to get a perspective that pleased them both. Here with the Quarry I would imagine they had less opportunity to wander about, as it was then and is still now, a working Quarry. This has given a forced subject and view. I find it interesting how they both have translated it into a painting.
On five occasions we shared a painting expedition in Wales, on the Gower Peninsula & again near Haverfordwest at Littlehaven; in Cornwall during a cold wet spell of misery in the De Lank Quarry at Blisland; at Dunwich in Suffolk & in Shropshire at Ironbridge. †
Located near Blisland, not far from Bodmin, the De Lank Granite Quarry was a particularly engaging subject for Bawden as, 'unlike many granite quarries on or near the moors it is still being actively worked, & for that reason retains an interest that others have lost ‡
The forced perspective of where it was safe to paint gives an interesting view to how both Nash and Bawden worked. I like mostly the blash pressure and fuel tank behind the workers hut on the crane.
Edward Bawden – The De Lank quarry no.2 , 1960

The paintings below likely were made on the same trip, Sharp Tor was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 1960 and The De Lank River, De Lank Quarry No 2 and The Engine House all exhibited in the 1961 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. The last two – likely worked upon in Bawden's studio – are sad gloomy images.

You are the Quarry
Post date 21st February 2019
The painting series by Bawden named as 'Pengwern' is really in 'Dyserth' in Wales. The limestone quarry is in the hills above Dyserth in Denbighshire and it was closed in the 1980s.
Bawden's paintings capture a curious geometry in the landscape with the sides of the quarry looking like large pieces of flint. Paintings two and three are the same view so are interesting to compare. At this time Bawden would start the paintings off with a drawing and then finish them in the hotel or at his Saffron Walden studio.

Move to the country
Post date 10th January 2019
I thought this was an interesting bit of Great Bardfield history, of what could have been. Below is a letter from Edward Bawden to the typographer and book designer John Lewis and what's interesting is Bawden is suggesting a house for him to live in.
There are two options, one is for them to have a long term rental of Town House in Great Bardfield (around four houses from Brick House) and then a beautiful house called Arundels in Bardfield Saling.
Arundels, Bardfield Saling.
What is rather lovely is Bawden has drawn out a map in the letter and is honest about how much work it will need to repair it.
The curious thing about his letter is that it comes at a time when Edward was encouraging people like Walter Hoyle and other Royal College of Art staff to move to Great Bardfield. It is letters like this that show how Bawden was trying to cement an artistic community in Essex. In the end Lewis moved to Meadow Cottage, Great Bealings, Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, to be near W S Cowell Ltd, Ipswich, where he was a printer.

Gt Bardfield Now & Then
Post date 3rd January 2019
The print and the studies used in this post are by John Aldridge for the Festival of Britain, 1951 lithographs distributed by the Artists' International Association and Lyons Tea-houses. The series featured prints from Edwin La Dell, Keith Vaughan and Shelia Robinson. The artists all chose different views and ideas but Aldridge used views of Great Bardfield.
John Aldridge – Studies for the Great Bardfield Print, 1950
The process of the print is rather interesting, I like the study doodles for the print made out by Aldridge using different colourways and grids. Below is the final gouache he would have sent off to the prints to transcribe into a lithograph (note it is backwards). It looks like he was using a bit of the wax resist effect that Bawden was so keen on.
John Aldridge – Study for the Great Bardfield Print, 1950
The final print I think is a bit of a disappointment, the texture to the edges of the print have been lost and it's a very scrappy looking thing with cut and pencil makings that have made it into the lithography. The yellow slashed edging would have been black ink that has been made into a negative with the photo-lithographic technique, it only works for the text areas. The painting above has more vigour – the lack of colour used means the absence of red, the buildings look faded and without blue the sky is apocalyptic like a John Martin painting.
John Aldridge – Great Bardfield, 1951
Using the painting as a guide I am showing how the village looks now compared to John Aldridge's paintings in 1950 using Google street view.
John Aldridge – Pant Place, 1950
Named after the river Pant in Bardfield, the house today has had its door moved and replaced with a rosebush. The railings have also been lost as has the stylised garden for something simpler to deal with. There is a driveway now as the motorcar rules the roads today.
Pant Plant, Great Bardfield today.
John Aldridge – Crown Street, 1950
Crown Street has only changed with the prevalence of the dreadful curse of the UK, the UPVC Window. The shop has gone and now is a house front.
Crown Street today.
John Aldridge – Brook Street, 1950
Brook Street today too is so similar it might not look to have changed to a time traveller. The railings around the island in the centre of the village and War memorial have gone, maybe they should come back.
The house to the left of the picture is Buck House, home to Stanley Clifford-Smith, one of the most unusual Great Bardfield artists. Thanks to a Fry Art Gallery booklet by Olive Cook he was written out of Great Bardfield history and was considered less important than he was. It was a myth started in 1988 and perpetuated until quite recently with the writing of Under Moon Light by his son Silas Clifford Smith highlighting his role in the Great Bardfield exhibitions in Bardfield's 1950s.
Brook Street today.
John Aldridge – Northampton House, 1950
The Gardens of Northampton House have been sold off to make an estate called 'Northampton Meadow' though it looked to be a rather lovely garden it makes me wonder – in an age without the television and with less transport were gardens the main entertainment and way to show off to your neighbours?

In Ironbridge
Post date 20th December 2018
Edward Bawden went on a working holiday to Iron Bridge with the War Artists John Aldridge and Carel Weight. John Nash went with them, but I couldn't find any records until the artist Celia Hart found some for me! Here I have collected some of the pictures all of them made from that trip and likely finished off in their studios at home. Although the John Nash works don't have dates I am confident they are from the same trip.
I was at Ironbridge for about six weeks in September and October 1956 and was joined by John Aldridge, John Nash and Carel Weight. Each of us in turn painted the famous bridge'. 'Houses at Ironbridge was almost the last painting I was able to do during my stay'. ‡
John Nash – Ironbridge through the Bridge, Gridded study.
John Nash – Ironbridge, (Exhibited in 1960)
The Iron Bridge is very handsome but a teaser to draw with three upright supports and five curved spans to every three so that a sideways view is very complicated…. We dodge between the showers and somehow I've done three drawings and a bit – but Carel has done an oil painting every day it seems while Edward keeps his work secretly in his rooms and does not divulge progress. Carel and I play bar billards every night, but Bawden will not join these simple diversions. ‡

The Bawden paintings above all share the same palette leading me to think he painted them on location and touched them up later. The wall of Houses at Ironbridge is a layering of paint and grease to make a watercolour batik over the drawing of the wall.
The paintings of John Aldridge show a quickly sketched oil painting that I would say was done on location and then an Italian looking Ironbridge in a brighter series of colours and much more control that I suspect would have been finished off in Great Bardfield.

Edward Bawden – Aesop's Fables
Post date 6th December 2018
Aesop's Fables has been a favourite with British illustrators ever since the mass publication of the edition in 1818 with woodcuts by Thomas Bewick. Bewick had first published a Selection of Fables in Three Parts in 1784. But these tales of ancient Greece have such humour and moral tales that they where a kind alternative to the bible for children.
Edward Bawden was a great reader and had an impressive library that he partly sold in grief in 1970 following the double whammy of the death of his wife and down-sizing home from Brick House in Great Bardfield to 2 Park Lane, Saffron Walden. He spent the next 10 years trying to acquire his favourite books back.
Bawden is called a celebrator of English humour and having grown up reading Edward Lear it might be why he thought the fables were a good subject matter, it is hard to say. He made one lino-print for the 1956 book 'A handbook of type and design' by John Lewis and maybe it had more mileage.

Eric Ravilious for The Cornhill
Post date 15th November 2018
The Cornhill Magazine was founded by George Murray Smith in 1859, the first issue in January 1860. It continued until 1975. It was a literary journal with a selection of articles on diverse subjects and serialisations of new novels. From the days when news was slower to make the press and a book was a luxury commodity, these magazines were more of a social service than a magazine is today. Smith hoped to gain some of the same readership enjoyed by All the Year Round, a similar magazine owned by Charles Dickens, and he employed as editor William Thackeray, Dickens' great literary rival at the time.
The stories were often illustrated and it contained works from some of the foremost artists of the time including: George du Maurier, Edwin Landseer, Frederic Leighton, and John Everett Millais. Some of its subsequent editors included G. H. Lewes, Leslie Stephen, Ronald Gorell Barnes, James Payn, Peter Quennell and Leonard Huxley.
Eric Ravilious – Cornhill Title Block, 1932
When Ravilious first worked for the Cornhill Magazine it was 1932 with the wood engraving above, but in fact the first appearance of the block was in 1954 for the 1,000th issue of the magazine. Why it was not used isn't clear but the magazine have used it a few times since for anniversaries and sometimes on the title pages.
Centenary Edition of the Cornhill magazine, 1954
Eric Ravilious – Wheatsheaf for The Cornhill, 1936
The wheat sheaf design was commissioned by a young publisher called John Arnaud Robin Grey ('Jock') Murray who was on the staff of the Cornhill Magazine at the time, before going on to publish the likes of John Betjeman, Dervla Murphy and Patrick Leigh Fermor.
The design was to be used as a New Year's Card, likely for the staff. Details from a letter from Eric to Jock:
I am sending you a print and the block of your wheatsheaf. It is rather more like an Autumn List than a New Year's card – but perhaps you won't mind that, and anyway I enjoyed doing the job. I'll see you tomorrow at the party. †
Eric Ravilious – An Athlete, 1933
The moon and sun design features in this work from 1933 for Fifty-Four Conceits a book by Martin Armstrong.
In 1936 the block appears again but with the background washed out. Ravilious had painted printers white (for correcting errors in artworks) to edit out the background of the block. The printers then made the block into an electrotype metal block to print with for mass production with those areas cut out of the metal.

Ravilious was working on the Country Life Cookery Book at the same time as this commission for The Cornhill Magazine in the later part of 1936 and the project overlapped. So when one of the wood engravings was rejected by Jock Murray he used it on the cookery book. I thought this engraving was a bit surreal and over the top until I discovered a drawing of it below.
Eric Ravilious – Harvest Festival and Loaves, 1936
I've been drawing the bread table in the church – dead and fancy loaves, barley and corn, apples and eggs – and I thought it too beautiful not to place on record. ♠
Having been rejected for one job Ravilious cut away the framed backdrop of the table and submitted the wood-engraving below for the Cookery Book project instead.
Eric Ravilious – Title-page (Harvest Festival), Wood-engraving for the Country Life Cookery Book, 1937
Below is another woodblock based on the same image made for The Writings of Gilbert White of Selborne in 1938. It's a new version and not an edited restrike. Likely cut in 1937 as the job was commissioned in May of that year and the book published in 1938.
Eric Ravilious – (Harvest Festival), Wood-engraving for The Writings of Gilbert White of Selborne in 1938
One of the commissions for The Cornhill Ravilious got was a Spring and Autumn woodblocks. Below is the Spring wood-engraving looking like an explosion of nature with a Cuckoo in the centre. It was used on compliment slips.

The same Cuckoo can be seen in the Gilbert White book again on the woodcut in Volume II on p243. To the bottom left corner.

Below is a woodcut for the four seasons. Holly for winter, bulb-flowers for spring, under a rose for summer and a selection of leaves for autumn.

In a letter from Ravilious to Jock Murray, 7 January 1932:
I am so glad you like the design for your Quarterly List here is the block with a few amendments. I have made the border lighter as you suggested, and I think that was a good idea. †
The wood engravings were used in black for subscription notices inside the magazine and in colour in Greetings Cards when one subscribed to the magazine as noted in the advert above and pictured below. The rose was presumably uppermost in the summer with warm red and the holly in the winter in a cool blue.

The wood-engraving above, Autumn Fruits, would have been copied from the painting below, and in the printing process it appears reversed. Ravilious as we know was a great recycler of his work.
Eric Ravilious – Trugs with Fruit, 1936
The same trug appears in the wood engraving for the Country Life Cookery Books vignette 'April'. The job came at the same time as the Cornhill Magazine commission. The watercolour of Trugs of Fruit above has the same trug in the 'April' wood engraving. The fruit is presumed to be full of redcurrants as it is also next to mint and a lamb.

The cornucopia was also a popular device used by Ravilious and appears in the 'Autumn Fruits' wood-engraving / compliment slip for Murray. It too was recycled into a wood engraving for the Country Life Cookery Book for 'July'.
