Dear FlyLady,
You are always telling us to Declutter! I don't know how! Where do I start? I am so overwhelmed! Please tell me what to do!
Overwhelmed FlyBaby
Dear Overwhelmed FlyBaby,
I have been reading all the contest essays. One common thread is that each one has gotten rid of their clutter and it has made their lives easier. You can organize clutter; you have to get rid of it. Routines are simple without all the clutter holding you down! Get rid of you clutter by donating it to your local Habitat for Humanity Restore. Your abundance is going to help others. What a great reason to get rid of your clutter!
I know that many of you have been procrastinating. This is not hard. Getting started is the hardest part. You can do this. We have a whole section on our website that teaches you how. The main thing to remember is don't do too much at one time; babysteps!
We put together a Declutter Kit to make it fun! Put on some rocking music and start flinging!
You really can do this!
Here is the link to How to Declutter page on our website
I have put the text here to save you a step!
How to Declutter
Taking 15 minutes each day to declutter an area, using the 27-Fling Boogie, and clearing your hotspots are among some of the most powerful tools you can use to create a more peaceful home. Remember: You cannot organize clutter – you can only organize the things you love!
I've included my tips on how to declutter. Put your home on a diet. If this is difficult for you, try reading one of my favorite books, "Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston.
1. When to Declutter: Decide how often you are going to declutter a zone. Do a little every day – use a timer. But be warned – this can become compulsive! Once you get started you will want to clean like a banshee! Don't burn yourself out! Only do small amount at a time. The house did not get dirty overnight and it will not get clean overnight. When you set the timer you can only do two sessions at a time. This goal may seem unattainable right now, but you can do it in little pieces. In a couple of months, the whole house will be decluttered.
2. Decluttering Equipment: You will need garbage bags, boxes, magic markers, and a dust rag. Label the boxes "Give Away", "Throw Away", and "Put Away". Line the "Throw Away" box with a plastic garbage bag.
3. Set your timer: for 1 hour (or 30, 15, or 10 minutes – it does't matter how long). Just do the job as fast as you can and do not pull out more stuff than you can put away in that length of time. This means just one drawer, one closet (or even one shelf in one closet), one magazine rack, or digging under just the furniture in the zone. Not all of them at once!
4. Start at the entrance to the room: Then, work your way around the room clockwise. Do not skip a spot. Whatever happens to be next, just do it.
5. Declutter Away! With boxes at your feet and dust rag in your waistband, start off by cleaning out and getting rid of the things that do not belong in this room. Put garbage in the "Throw Away" box, donations in the "Give Away" box, and stuff that goes somewhere else in the "Put Away" box. Don't worry that you do not have a place for everything right now. By the time you finish you will. That's a promise from FlyLady!
6. What to declutter? Things to ask yourself as you get rid of your clutter:
* Do I love this item?
* Have I used it in the past year?
* Is it really garbage?
* Do I have another one that is better?
* Should I really keep two?
* Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it?
* Or does it give me guilt and make me sad when I see the item?
Cleanse this room of everything that does not make you SMILE.
7. Sing this song: "Please release me, let me go" as sung from the stuff's point of view. It needs to be loved by someone and if you don't love it – GET RID OF IT!
8. Get rid of the garbage! When the "Throw Away" box gets full, pull out the garbage bag, close it, and put it in the trash can, the pickup truck, or wherever you keep your garbage. Put a new garbage bag in the "Throw Away" box and keep on Flying until the timer goes off.
9. Donations: When the "Give Away" box gets full, seal it off, and put it in your car. The next time you are out, you can donate to the area thrift shop. Do not save your clutter for a yard or garage sale, you will be blessed by giving it away. The value can be deducted on your income tax. Remember you are trying to get rid of clutter – not relocate it somewhere else in your home. Now, grab another box, label it "Give Away", and get back to work.
10. "Put Away" Stuff: When the "Put Away" box gets full, take the box in your arms and run around the house (good thing you have shoes on – right?) and put the items in the room where they belong. If they have a place, put them there, if not put them in the room where they logically belong. By the time you have finished you will have a place for everything and everything will be in it's place.
11. Timer Goes Off: When the timer goes off, you have to put away all the boxes, but first you have to empty them all. Go as fast as you can.

Léonce Petit was a French painter, engraver, caricaturist and illustrator. Born Léonce Justin Alexandre Petit in Taden, near Dinan, he was a pupil of painters Henri Harpignies and François Augustin Feyen-Perrin. For nearly 20 years starting in 1863, Petit was a contributor to the magazine Le Journal Amusant. One of his most popular features for the magazine was 'Les Bonnes gens de Province', in which he humorously depicted everyday life in the province and in the country. He started using the comics format in 1871 with his picture stories series 'Histoires campagnardes'. These stories were also collected in book format.
Les Mésaventures de M. Bêton
Petit had previously used the sequential narrative for his series 'Les Mésaventures de M. Bêton', that was published in Le Hanneton from March 1867 until the end of the magazine's fun in August 1868. His art was present in most illustrated magazines of his time, including Le Grelot, La Lune and L'Eclipse. He published his novel 'Le Roman d'une cuisinière, raconté par son sapeur' with Guérin in 1866.
L´œuf d'ânesse (Le Journal Amusant, January 1874)
He also made the illustrations for 'Les Aventures de M. Tringle' by Jules Champfleury, and for books published by Delagrave, Flammarian, Hachette and Plon. Léonce Petit, who was called the "French Töpffer", spent 10 years suffering from gout, and passed away at the age of 45 in 1884.

I want to have a GameObject that has a "hovering" effect when the mouse is over it.
What I'm having trouble with is actually having a color that gradually goes from one color to the next.
I'm assuming
Color.Lerp() is the best function for that, but I can't seem to get it working properly.
Here's my
Update() function:
private bool ReachedTop = false;
private float t = 0f;
private float final_t;
private bool MouseOver = false;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (MouseOver) {
t = Time.time % 1f; // using Time.time to get a value between 0 and 1
if (t >= 1f || t <= 0f) // If it reaches either 0 or 1...
ReachedTop = ReachedTop ? false : true;
if (ReachedTop) final_t = 1f - t; // Make it count backwards
else final_t = t;
print (final_t); // for debugging purposes
renderer.material.color = Color.Lerp(Color.red, Color.green, final_t);
void OnMouseEnter() {
MouseOver = true;
void OnMouseExit() {
renderer.material.color = Color.white;
MouseOver = false;
Now, I've tried several approaches to making it reach 1 then count backwards till 0 including a multiplier that alternates between 1 and -1, but I just can't seem to get that effect. The value goes to 1 then resets at 0.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Bangkok Transport Maps[edit]
Looks like an interesting merge of both maps. However, these waterway systems are not integrated at all, while one map might give the impression of a single transport system. Also, a lot of white space now appears on the map. The PNG issue is indeed a known Wikivoyage issue. The way to solve it is by decreasing the size of the PNG file. --(WT-en) Globe-trotter 11:01, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Pictures of the night sky seem to hold great allure for us. Perhaps that's because it's becoming harder and harder for many people to get a clear look at the stars in a time of increasing light pollution. When I upload a night-sky photo on social media, I always get a disproportional response. People often ask how the picture came to be.
Natalie Große specialises in pet portraits. Many of her fabulous photos are taken with the Tamron SP 70-200 f/2.8 DI VC USD.
Tamron redefines the fast telephoto zoom category with the introduction of the next-generation 70-200mm F/2.8 zoom. All-new optical design delivers a dramatically faster autofocus speed and image stabilization performance of 5 stops.
Tamron introduces ultra-wide-angle zoom with Vibration Compensation. Compact, high-performance lens boasts the largest focal length range in its class of stabilized APS-C ultra-wide-angle lenses.
The golden hour and the blue hour provide shining photographer's eyes. Daniel Wohlleben gives insights into photography with atmospheric light in the morning and evening.

Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of
Logan County
Tourism still concerned about legal fees
Send a link to a friend
[January 31, 2014]
At the Tuesday evening meeting
of the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County, the first
topic the board discussed was a bill from Doug Muck of Muck & Muck
Attorneys at Law. The bill for $835.11 is for services rendered in
September and October last year.
the January meeting of the tourism board, board president and Logan
County Board member Andy Anderson said he had learned of Muck's
involvement when he was made aware of a letter written to the county
board chairman, Bob Farmer. Soon after that, legal representation by
Muck was discontinued. Anderson also reported in January that he had
asked Leslie Hoefle, who was then the bureau's interim director,
about the letter, and she was not forthcoming with information.
This week Anderson provided tourism board members with a copy of
the letter addressed to Farmer.
The letter states that because the city is exercising its
prerogative to take the hotel-motel tax, there will be very little
money available to promote tourism in Logan County. It goes on to
say that the city has not been cooperative in working with the
current board.
It also states that the tourism board, Route 66 Association and
Mr. (Larry) Van Bibber are working together to assume responsibility
for the world's largest covered wagon because the city has no
interest in the wagon or its preservation.
In regard to the appointment of board members, the letter stated
that the city is assuming they have the right to appoint board
members, an assumption Muck believes is incorrect.
And finally, the letter asks for a response from the county, or
alternatively invites the county to contact Charlie Ott or the
tourism executive director to set up a meeting where these topics
can be discussed.
This week Anderson said he had learned that Logan County Board
member David Hepler was also involved in the situation. He said
Hepler had written a brief synopsis of the discussions with tourism
board members. Anderson said he didn't believe that Helpler knew
what he was getting involved with at that time.
It was immediately questioned as to why it was Hepler who was
approached. Hepler is a county board member but is not connected to
tourism. This brought on the question whether it was Hepler who
might have gotten Muck involved or recommended Muck be hired. Again
this is something the tourism board doesn't know.
[to top of second column]
Another question that arose is whether Muck is the official
attorney of record for the tourism bureau. It was determined that he
is not.
Anderson said he wondered if the bureau should go ahead and pay
the bill and then take steps to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Tom O'Donohue and Andi Hake agreed that there was no need to change
anything in the bylaws. Both said the problem had been that members
of the tourism board broke the bylaws by hiring an attorney without
full board consent.
The group talked about what would happen if the tourism bureau
did refuse to pay the bill. Hake commented on this, saying it really
wasn't Muck's fault that this was handled inappropriately. She said
she believed Muck was acting under what he thought was the authority
of the tourism board.
Hake commented: "Do we just want to be done with this and agree
that it wasn't tourism that hired him, but we want it to go away, or
do we want to make an issue of it?"
Soon afterward, Anderson made a motion to approve the payment to
Muck & Muck. He looked to Hake for a second but did not get it. With
no second, the motion died on the floor.
O'Donohue said he agreed with Hake that Muck thought he was hired
by the bureau, but the fact was, he was not.
As the discussion came to a close, the size of the bill was also
questioned, as it seemed there wasn't a great deal done in
relationship to the dollars charged.
Finally, Keith Snyder suggested that Doug Muck be invited to a
future meeting so that he could perhaps shed more light on how this
whole thing came about. The board agreed that would be the next step
in resolving the matter.

- For tian
- 1 1/2 lb tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 lb onions, thinly sliced
- 1 (1-lb) eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
- 2 lb boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For lamb
- 1 (6- to 7-lb) leg of lamb (aitchbone removed by butcher)
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- Toss half of tomato slices with onions, eggplant, garlic, oregano, potatoes, salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Transfer to an oiled shallow 3-quart casserole, spreading evenly. Arrange remaining tomato slices on top. Roast, uncovered, in middle of oven 30 minutes.
- Prepare lamb:
- Trim lamb of all but a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Cut small slits all over lamb with a sharp small knife and put a slice of garlic into each slit. Rub lamb with some lemon juice and season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
- After tian has been roasting 30 minutes, put lamb on top of vegetables. Roast in middle of oven 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F.
- Continue roasting, basting meat with cooking juices (baste with remaining lemon juice during last 30 minutes of roasting) until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (do not touch bone) registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover tian with foil, and let meat stand 15 minutes before carving. Spoon off any excess fat from tian and discard. Serve tian with lamb.

Trollfest '09
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and "Big Cat" Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The "Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless" booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word "jackass" was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!

Odyssey Five's performance last Saturday, as part of the Crossroads Concert Series at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, is the very reason one gets into the "business" of prying into the lives and related legacies of our state's musical veterans. Only teenagers when they recorded their lone LP, First Time Around, for Brunswick Records in 1975, the ladies of Odyssey Five are far more familiar with these songs today than they were when the lyrics sheets were shoved into their hands by producer Alonzo Tucker some 35 years ago. Time has also been kind to the voices of Odyssey Five, taking on a far more mature and finessed timbre in the intervening decades. Retro-upstart Ronnie Levels and his Genius Band, having cold-called Carolina Soul with the question: "Why doesn't someone around here organize a soul revue?" were given the mandate to become part of the solution, and rose to the occasion. We hope this is the beginning of not just beautiful things for Odyssey Five and Ronnie Levels, but other Carolina Soul combos wishing to get a little more mileage out of their catalogs. We have proven that there is both a platform and an audience for this type of affair, and hope that Saturday's time-machine talent show is the first of many.

Some of our Anti Room writers share their New Year's resolutions – what are yours, if any?
Nuala Ní Chonchúir
I am a firm believer in New Year's resolutions. I know January is not the jolliest month for many but I like it because it's my birth month. I also love the freshness of the turning year, the way it stretches out in front of you like clean paper, and that chance it gives to be new and improved.
My resolutions are practically identical every year, which, I guess shows that a) I don't really succeed in keeping them for the whole year, and b) people don't change much. I believe in simple resolutions – ones that may be semi-achievable. I always start off the year on a health kick, so the first one is generally 'Eat less, walk more.' The second is 'Worry less', because I can worry about pretty much everything and I drive myself mad with it. And the third is usually along the lines of 'Be nicer. To everyone.'
This year I am adding 'Buy less stuff', which won't be hard now that we are all so much poorer. And – one I'm less keen on – try to understand Twitter. Ath-bhliain faoi mhaise to all the readers of the Anti-Room.
Arlene Hunt
New year's resolutions.- Easy. Deadlift 115kilos by June, squat body weight by same period. Press 30k, push press 50k. Do strict pull ups without band SOMETIME this year, run 10k in under 50 minutes, stretch stretch and stretch some more. Oh, and stop pretending Meanies are a food group.
Antonia Hart
In Listowel some years ago the novelist leading the writing workshop I was at asked us how much we read. How many books? One a month? Two a week?
Sinéad Gleeson
I have the same resolutions every year, and barely a fortnight into January, they're a myopic blur. As well as the old perennial "write more, dammit", which I swear I'll do on pain of eye-gouging every year, I have yet to see this through. This year, in some shape or form I'm going to get more involved in music, after being coaxed into some vocals for Strands. Given that I'm now partly bionic, I have no excuse for being as unfit as I am. Cue lots of repetitive exercise to 1980s' Power Ballads. And finally, I plan to seek out more positivity and be less tolerant of moaners, me-feiners, takers and people whose only problems are First World ones.
Aoife Barry
I always look on the dawning of a new year as a chance to wipe the slate clean; to make better anything I may have stupidly done or neglected in the year past; to improve the bad habits of mine that even I loathe; to start afresh, anew. It's a time to begin new things, to get back in touch with old friends, to finish projects and start learning Japanese or do that singing class I've always wanted to do.
Life being what it is, however, things don't always go to plan, and each new year I'm faced with some eerily similar thoughts to the pervious year. "This year I will be more organised, I promise…I won't waste money and I'll stop watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians instead of tidying the house. I'll look into night classes and start yoga again. I'll read all those books piled up next to my bed and I'll bring lunch to work every day. I'll wake up with a smile instead of a grimace and keep a positive attitude. I'll even bring out the bins instead of waiting for my boyfriend to do it. Yes, a new me!"
This year, as usual, I do hope to do the above things. But one thing I really hope sticks is that positive attitude that sometimes seems so elusive. Maybe it'll help me when I spot the bin ready to be brought downstairs…or even prevent me from turning on E! when I should be doing something else.
So if all my resolutions fall to bits, I'll still have a smile on my face. And I won't let anyone tell me it's an upside-down frown.
Eleanor Fitzsimons
I don't generally make New year resolutions on the basis that I can thus avoid the crushing and early disappointment of inevitably breaking them. However, this year I'm planning to take the kids on weekend day trips in and around Dublin. I'm also going to try to find a couple of decent candidates to vote for in the general election. As good things come in threes I'm going to try to highlight some of the issues and causes that I feel passionately about via Antiroom and anyone else that will have me.
June Caldwell
I resolve to feck the fat and melt the critics in their entirety. A paedophile told me recently, in the snide nasty way that only a paedophile can when faced with evidence of the abuse resurfacing, that I was 'morbidly obese'. This person, who has been grotesquely overweight [and medieval ugly] all their adult life – with a spouse who fits the 'two seats in a plane' category – made me realise that my post-hip replacement fat stores have gone on multiplying like lab bacteria for way too long. I've written plenty about this syndrome before https://www.tribune.ie/archive/article/2008/nov/09/bodymatters-waist-disposal how family members, friends and random gobshites somehow assume power over your BMI when it heads cloudwards. A counsellor woman a few months ago pointed at my knockers and spluttered: "What are you going to do about them?" Unprompted. I wasn't even talking about my weight at the time. There's nothing quite like being fat/slim/fat/slim no less than eight times in adulthood to fully cognise how the world treats you differently from a Size 10 to a Size 18. Though this time around it is true that my knockers have enjoyed a record-breaking Double F fat finale, which if I was thick as farm mud and lanky and owned a jeep, I'd probably end up with a reality TV deal where people all over the world could watch me eating toast in the mornings and picking up pedigree turds from the lawn. Eight years ago, while living in the inner-city (back when I was an employed house-owner) I lost four stone in eight months, half-starving myself on only half Weight Watchers points, zero alcohol and exercising so manically that I wore down the remainder of my right hip and had to have it replaced, I was truly astounded at the reaction from the locals. People, mainly men: it's true, who had utterly ignored my blobby self sitting at the bar supping Guinness for nigh on two years, were practically riding my leg the minute I sat down. I had all kinds of offers of romance – even one from the local lithium-laced schizophrenic who was known to talk to street signs when he drank too much – to a local bank robber who suddenly wanted to cocaine-confess all his fiscal crimes, because I looked good in the general rankings. I had a rake of one night stands and partied like a loon before I allowed myself to get angry at teeming hypocrisy of it all: that men can look like pure shit but women have to be wank-fodder to get on in our feeble-minded world. This time I want to get slim and stay slim, for me, for health, for the sneaky life event I have planned in a year's time and moreover so the sub-humans can look elsewhere for their 'no life' snipes: paedophiles, gobshites, non-thinking counsellors and all other brand of pass-remarkables that populate the bus-stop poles, shopping centres, parks, post offices and coffee shops of our green and rotten land…I wish you all a Happy Mind Your Own Poxy Business New Year! Roll on 2011!

The ag committee of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce is looking
to reward qualified students with scholarships.
Cultivating future agricultural leaders by awarding scholarships
toward their education is one of the committee's top
In the 14-year history of the Ag Day Scholarship Breakfast,
$77,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving local
students. Any high school senior or current college student from
Logan County planning to or currently pursuing an education in an
agriculture-related field is encouraged to apply. The scholarship
is designed for students who have the intention to return to Logan
County as leaders in the ag field.
Ag scholarships are made possible due to generous sponsorships
from community businesses. Local businesses partner to
support and sustain agriculture awareness in our community. The chamber's Ag Day Scholarship Breakfast is a great networking
opportunity for the ag and business community to come together.
One of the most important accomplishments of this event is the
awarding of scholarships to our future agricultural leaders. The
scholarship recipients will be announced during the 14th annual
Logan County Ag Day Scholarship Breakfast on March 21 at 7 a.m. at Lincoln Christian University's Laughlin Center.

As for Luke and the Force Lightning at the end of ROTJ? I think he didn't see it coming. He seemed to think that he had defeated Vader, and by refusing the Emporer he thought that he had defeated him and redeemed his father.
So what do you think Luke's plan was when he tosses the lightsaber away? He's not going to fight his father, Vader has not yet been redeemed and Palpatine obviously has control of the situation. If he doesn't see the lightning attack coming, where did he think the confrontation was going to go? I'm not sure that he knew about the lightning or how to stop it, but he had to think Palps was going to attack with something more than words.
Another reason why I think Yoda wouldn't have taught Luke about Force lightning? It's very simple: Anakin. Yoda knows that Luke is Anakin's son. And he openly expressed reservations of Obi-Wan's Force Spirit about training Luke, citing similarities between Luke and Anakin. So with that in mind, why would he teach him about Dark Side powers when he's still a Jedi apprentice? Why would he risk that when he saw the slaughter that Anakin led at the Jedi Temple?
These reservations that Yoda may have about Luke, and the relatively brief time that he had to train him are the likely reasons why Yoda never trained him to defend himself against Force lightning.

Dr. Alice Heisler Hissey, medical director of the University of Maryland Medical Center's Behavioral Pediatrics Clinic who also was a consultant to city public schools, died Oct. 18 of pancreatic cancer at her Columbia home.
The former Catonsville and Laurel resident was 75.
"When I arrived here six years ago, Alice befriended me and took the time and effort to come by my office and talk about the glorious history of this department," said Dr. Steve J. Czinn, professor and chair of the department of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine where he is also physician-in-chief.
"What Alice did for me was give me honest advice and counsel, and she continued to direct the residency pediatric behavioral program ... until she retired," he said.
"As a person, it was clear that the children came first, and everything revolved around them. She wanted young physicians to be sensitive to the issues that impacted children," said Dr. Czinn. "There was no one more kind or dedicated that I've known on this planet."
The daughter of farmers — her father was also lawyer — Alice Baskerville Heisler was born in Takoma Park and raised in Boyds.
After graduating in 1955 from Richard Montgomery High School, she earned a bachelor's degree in 1959 in English from the University of Maryland, College Park.
She earned her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1963 with a specialty in pediatrics, and completed an internship and residency at what is now the University of Maryland Medical Center.
She also spent a year at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, where she was a resident fellow in cytogenetics and genetics training under Dr. Paul La Marche, now a Maine pediatrician. In 1967, she returned to the University of Maryland, where she spent the remainder of her career, retiring in 2002.
Dr. Hissey — who used the name Dr. Alice Heisler professionally — was appointed assistant professor of pediatrics in 1977 and was medical director of the Behavioral Pediatrics Center from 1982 until her retirement.
At the University of Maryland Medical Center, she also supervised medical students and residents in behavioral pediatrics throughout her tenure.
In her role as a clinician at the University of Maryland, she evaluated children for behavioral conditions, and treated Baltimore public school students and parents for more than 20 years.
Her work also took her to a number of city schools, where she was a consultant and worked with teachers and administrators in improving the education of children with developmental and behavioral problems.
In 2007, Dr. Hissey returned as a part-time consultant to the Division of Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics and continued working until she was diagnosed with the pancreatic cancer that took her life.
"I did my fellowship at Maryland right after she joined the faculty at Maryland and later I was division head and she worked for me from 2000 to 2008," said Dr. Linda S. Grossman, a behavioral pediatrician who is chief of the Baltimore County Bureau of Clinical Services.
"She was probably the most caring and kindest person I've ever known," said Dr. Grossman. "She was also an incredible optimist and believed that things could be made better for kids and their families."
She said Dr. Hissey had tremendous patience.
"She was patient and understanding, and families felt she knew what they were struggling with," said Dr. Grossman.
"Alice was religious but didn't wear it on her sleeve. She had a strong sense of ethics and believed that everyone deserved to be treated with decency," she said. "She worked well with people, and did it without any splash and wanted no recognition."
"Alice's death is a tremendous loss for our department, and because of her knowledge and dedication, it will be difficult to replace her," said Dr. Czinn. "For us and the residency training program, she was and always will be a very special person. I miss her. Everybody misses her."
Dr. Hissey was a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, where she had served on the Maryland chapter of its Emotional Health Committee, and was a member of the Bradley Pediatrics Society. From 2000 to 2008, she was a member of the University of Maryland Medical Alumni Board.
Dr. Hissey was a longtime volunteer at the Joseph Richey Hospice and was active in humanitarian efforts organized by Oaklands Presbyterian Church in Laurel, where she had been an active member for many years.
"She had been one of our very early volunteer doctors," said Charlotte Hawtin, executive director of Joseph Richey Hospice and Dr. Bob's Place.
"Alice was one of our faithful volunteers for many years," said Dr. John W. Payne, a retired Baltimore ophthalmologist who is the hospice's medical director.
"Our volunteer doctors take one day a month to be on call, and in the middle of her busy practice, she was willing to donate one day a month," said Dr. Payne. "She felt so strongly about the mission of the hospice that she became a constant presence. She was someone you could really depend on."
A resident of Columbia since 2007, Dr. Hissey was an avid bridge player.
Her husband of 18 years, William David Hissey, her high school sweetheart who was a senior engineering specialist at the National Security Agency, died in 2005. An earlier 16-year marriage to Dr. Michael Hayes, a Baltimore physician, ended in divorce in 1981.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Nov. 10 at her church, 14301 Laurel-Bowie Road, Laurel.
Dr. Hissey is survived by two sons, Michael S. Hayes of Los Angeles and Daniel G. Hayes of Sterling, Va.; a daughter, Sharon A. Hayes of Brooklyn, N.Y.; a stepson, Rion Hissey of Johnson City, Tenn.; a stepdaughter, Bonnie Hissey of Denver; two sisters, Cynthia Meininger of Columbia and Betty Reed of Dallas; and four grandchildren.
Dr. Alice Heisler Hissey, medical director of the University of Maryland Medical Center's Behavioral Pediatrics Clinic who also was a consultant to city public schools, died Oct. 18 of pancreatic cancer at her Columbia home.

Browser wars is a popular (and retro!) topic these days. In this post I'll discuss another kind of browser war that I'm afraid all browsers are at risk of losing.
Features like the pop-up blocker were not designed for web developers — they were designed completely in the interest of users, who were fed up with annoying ads that popped up over and under the web page you were currently visiting. This effectively forced web designers to adjust their practices and keep the users' interests more prominently in mind. I think this is a wonderful example of how web browsers can change the web for the better. Before the pop-up blocker, web designers were dictating how their web sites should behave, and users had no other choice but to put up with it.
There are of course many other examples of when browser features have helped tame annoying web design practices, such as scrolling text in status bars, disabling the context menu when right-clicking, and blocking third-party cookies — the general theme is that the browser balances the sometimes bad urges of web developers and designers with the actual needs of the user. And as a result, the web becomes a better place. Mozilla has its own spin on this that captures the essence of Firefox: Firefox answers to no one but you.
The yellow pop-up blocker info bar in Firefox. A rare sight these days.
Back in 2004, when Firefox was first launched, window.open was the way of displaying pop-ups. These kinds of pop-ups are trivial for Firefox to detect, since the web page creates a separate browser window for the ad (this usually happens when a page loads, or at some other event which is straightforward enough for a browser to determine that it isn't explicitly requested by the user).
Today, most modern web sites have become smarter and use more sophisticated technologies to display pop-up ads embedded within the web page triggering the ad. In fact, a quick anecdotal survey shows that most large, international websites have completely stopped using the traditional pop-ups. You can still find them on smaller or more local websites though (for example, Swedish news sites like aftonbladet.se are typically a year or two behind the more recent web page practices used on websites from the US in general, and the Valley in particular). The original pop-up blocking implementation certainly still matters, but its relevance is decreasing.
New websites use all sorts of clever (and highly annoying) tricks to make sure their ads are not missed by anyone:
- Inline pop-ups — these behave similar to the traditional pop-ups, but the ad content isn't actually displayed in a separate window. Instead, the ad is embedded in the web page itself. From a technological point of view, a browser is then unable to distinguish the ad from the rest of the web page, so it can't block it.
- Hover ads — this is similar to inline pop-ups, but taken to an increasingly more annoying level: here, the ad doesn't just block a particular area of the web page, it follows along on your screen as you scroll down on the page — often with a smooth movement to give the impression that it's actually hovering over the page. It's like the ad is trying to say "I'm here! Look, I'm still here!"
- Splash screen ads (I just made this term up) — these are by far the most annoying ads and are commonly seen on sites like di.se and e24.se (two popular finance websites in Sweden). This is like an ad saying: "Look, I'm not going to let you read the web page until you've paid attention to ME!" Web designers do this by overlaying the ad so it completely covers the content of the page (alternatively, it redirects you to a separate page). If you pay close attention, you will see a tiny link to get to the page you actually wanted to visit, but the web designer has usually made it the smallest link on the entire page — despite the fact it's the link you are most likely going to want to click. These type of web pages clearly answer to no one but the ad provider — certainly not to you.
- Video ads — as videos are getting more and more mainstream, the most common practice today by content providers is to show an ad before playing the video clip you actually requested. This is similar to those "important messages" you see when inserting some DVDs, and just like those messages, you can't skip these ads. You simply have no choice but to watch the entire thing. (Some content providers add a small clock countdown in the corner to at least let you know how long you have to put up with watching the ad — it's clear that they're aware of the inconvenience for the user here.)
All of these types of web ads have one thing in common: it's next to impossible for web browsers to block them. These ads are, from a technical point of view, integral parts of the web page itself, and as such they're indistinguishable from the "good" content on the page.
Where do we go from here?
Web browsers make at least a bit of an effort to block advertisement today with their aged pop-up blocker feature, but it's also clear that they are not able to block all attempts of displaying advertisement on the web. (And should they? Unless we can create a world where advertisement is not just generally unwanted, but also not necessary to make the online economy spin, I would say we probably shouldn't try to block them all. But that's a much deeper discussion than I'm aiming for in this blog post.)
More importantly, however, web browsers are no longer stopping bad design practices. Showing an ad as a splash overlay covering the entire page and blocking the user from seeing the actual content of the page is exactly the kind of thing that Firefox effectively stopped in 2004 — but so far there is no solution in place in any web browser on the market to stop the new pop-up behavior that is at least as bad as the traditional pop-ups.
Taking a step back, what is the role of the browser in this new world where web pages are becoming more like web applications that live a life on their own terms? How can we ensure that the browser still acts as a balance that puts the user first? Of course, I don't have the answers to these broad questions, but it's definitely something I think must be discussed.

How suburbs along the Fox River have transformed themselves
Most suburbs are a product of urban growth that spread from Chicago, but the history of towns along the Fox River is much different.
Municipalities such as Aurora and Elgin were born not as suburbs but as independent towns that boomed in the late 1800s from an influx of workers for the local industries that sprouted along the railways that flanked the river.
But in the 20th century, unlike such suburbs as Arlington Heights, Naperville, Schaumburg and Wheaton that flourished as a result of the rails and roads that brought their populations, Fox River towns faced a challenge. Many of their industries closed or relocated, leaving communities to grapple with the remnants of industrial development while trying to newly capitalize on the Fox River as an asset.
"When I first came to the Fox River valley in the late 1980s, I drove along the Fox River through all the communities. My first impression was that there were a lot of communities that turned their backs on the river," said Roger Dahlstrom, senior research associate with the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University.
"That has changed radically. Communities all along the river have rediscovered it as a natural attraction."
Efforts to showcase the river and the communities' downtown areas along it have not come easy. Some local leaders say recent tough economic times put a damper on redevelopment. But consider some of the recent efforts:
• Last month, Aurora unveiled its $18.5 million RiverEdge Park, a 10-acre site fronting the Fox with a Music Garden -- an amphitheater-style music venue that accommodates 8,500 with preferred bench and lawn seating. The park also offers a bike path and boat launch, and provides immediate access to Metra trains and Pace buses. Aurora's annual Blues on the Fox fest debuted the new park and featured Chicago blues legend Buddy Guy. Eventually, city leaders hope to build a pedestrian bridge spanning the river to allow greater access to the park.
• Elgin's Gail Borden Public Library and Festival Park boast eye-catching views of the Fox River. Some residential development along or near the river is completed, but the total plan is still in the works. The long-awaited rebuilding of Riverside Drive, which runs along the riverbank, is expected to be completed sometime this fall. City leaders hope that will encourage an influx of new business.
• Algonquin has developed two parks along the river. Now, officials want to try to foster recreation opportunities such as kayaking and paddle boating on the river, both prominent components of a new downtown plan adopted in April.
• Geneva adopted a downtown master plan last year that calls for redeveloping the former site of the iconic Mill Race Inn restaurant, which fronts the river, with a building housing residences, stores and restaurants.
• Batavia is working on how to turn the shoreline into more of an attraction. The town already boasts Depot Pond, the Riverwalk and Clark Island Park, but it is grappling with the fact that much of the riverfront abuts the backside of businesses.
• St. Charles recognized the Fox River as a key to drawing people to its downtown, os in 2002 it created its River Corridor Foundation. The recession, however, slowed down those plans, and to date, only a few of the minor aspects of the vision, like the Bob Leonard Walkway and a canoe launch, have been completed. Nonetheless, the city's downtown, particularly its night life, can be described only as bustling.
Those redevelopment efforts are important because when the river becomes a part of people's daily lives, they're more apt to appreciate its value, said Gary Swick, president of Friends of the Fox River.
"Most municipalities are experiencing some kind of renewal or honoring of the river as an important resource," Swick said.
Friends of the Fox River focuses on protecting and restoring the river's water quality through cleanup and restoration projects, which in turn promote public education, Swick said.
"People may change their behaviors. They might support a tax increase that will protect water quality," he said. "People care about things they have relationships with."
Kayaking is a great way to get acquainted with the river, Swick said.
"Most people have never paddled on the river," he said. "When they do it, they all enjoy the experience and say they want do it again. That's really a strong thing. It's in a different zone than going to the movie."
Downtown neighborhood groups and associations also have played a key role in pushing for lasting river improvements, said Jason Pawlowski, managing director of the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Elgin.
"It's about strategic, long-term planning, and laying the groundwork for that development long term," he said. "And not rushing to put something together."
The key to redeveloping a downtown riverfront is patience, NIU's Dahlstrom agreed.
"It's a process," he said. "It took years to get to where it is."
Cost is a major obstacle to building on many former industrial sites, because of required pollution remediation, Dahlstrom said.
Also, downtowns typically are divided into smaller parcels owned by a variety of people, which in turn makes consolidation for redevelopment more difficult, he said.
"That's part of the reason a cornfield is attractive for mass development, because you have one owner to deal with," he said.
In order to spur redevelopment, some communities, Elgin among them, created tax increment financing districts. In a TIF district, the assessed value of property is frozen for the purpose of distributing tax money to local units of government. But the increase in taxes created by the improved or redeveloped properties are funneled back into improvements, such as roads and other infrastructure.
Another revenue source -- casinos -- assisted the Fox River's biggest two towns, Elgin and Aurora, in their redevelopment efforts. Hollywood Casino has provided $238.7 million in tax revenue to Aurora since it opened in 1993; Grand Victoria Casino has brought in $407.2 million for Elgin since 1994.
But good ideas alone don't spur new projects, said Russ Farnum, community development director in Algonquin.
"It's like any other economic development activity -- there's a lot of competition out there, and you have to find a niche," he said. "You have to get private development money to go along with your vision."
There also are different schools of thought about what's best along the river, he pointed out.
"If you build a boat split facility, it's not always the most attractive," he said. "Do you want people who bring dollars and boats and buy fuel and food, or do you want to keep it open and pristine? It is always a conflict."
But at least people today find themselves on the same page in recognizing the value of a healthy and bustling Fox River.
"For decades communities turned their backs on the river. That's something that communities are rediscovering," Farnum said.
Paul Schuch, director of water resources for Kane County, said the federal Clean Water Act of 1972 first required local governments to reduce the amount of pollutants entering the Fox River.
"That was the first round of regulations that helped bring about a cleaner Fox River. Fish species that had been moved out of the Fox River began to reappear," he said.
Kane County takes seriously the protection of the Fox River and its tributaries, a topic that has figured prominently in the long-range plans the county has adopted since the mid-1990s, Schuch said.
"The Fox River is Kane County's most precious natural resource, outside of anything else you can think of as a natural resource," he said. McHenry County has taken a similar approach, he added.
Developers who build residential or commercial space along the Fox River have to buy into that, too, he said.
"The more we can get development to recognize that the Fox River is our greatest asset, the more valuable the improvements they make in regards to water quality and water runoff," he said.
Adds NIU's Dahlstrom: "People always like the water. People enjoy it. It's a natural draw -- people like the sound of it even, the rippling water.
"The river is a natural attraction. The problem is, one must be patient, and one must be careful."
• Daily Herald staff writers James Fuller and Susan Sarkauskas contributed to this report.

What could I subsatitue for thw sour cream?ReplyDelete
Brittany: You can use either lo-fat cottage cheese (small curd) or plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Either one should work just fine.ReplyDelete

As Harley-Davidson's first export representative to Africa in 1922, Alfred Rich Child was used to breaking new ground. His career at Harley-Davidson also included serving as Managing Director of Sales in pre-World War II Japan, as well as negotiating the contract that would give Sankyo Company exclusive rights to manufacture Harley-Davidson products in that country. Following the war, Child founded the Rich Child Cycle Co., a distributor of BSA and Sunbeam motorcycles.
Born in Chichester, Sussex, England in 1891, Child was the son of a retired British Navy officer. He graduated from the Greenwich Royal Naval Academy in 1907.
Making his way to the United States by working as a steward for the Cunard line, Child worked various odd jobs, eventually starting his own traveling clothing supply business serving the grand estates on Long Island. His choice of delivery vehicle was a 1914 Harley-Davidson sidecar outfit.
After the start of World War I, Child joined the U.S. Coast Guard and served as a petty officer. While serving at the passport office in New York City, he met David Weistrich, who owned a wholesale bicycle parts business. In 1918, Child joined Weistrich's business as a traveling representative to the southern states. Once again, Child's transportation choice was a J Model Harley-Davidson with sidecar.
When Weistrich became ill and relinquished control of the business to his brother-in-law, Child began looking for new sales opportunities and applied with the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. He soon received a telegram from sales manager Arthur Davidson, and the two met in New York. After some discussion, Childs was hired and assigned to domestic sales for the northeast United States and eastern Canada, followed by sales positions in the southern states and eventually in Harley-Davidson's hometown of Milwaukee in 1921.
Upon returning from a tour of Europe and South Africa on Harley's behalf, Child was informed that he should prepare himself for a survey of the Far East markets. Child arrived in Yokohama, Japan in July of 1924.
The Asian markets represented a challenge to Harley-Davidson. Not only was the Indian brand firmly entrenched there and importing 600-700 units a year, but the existing Harley-Davidson distributors were not ordering spare parts and were competing with each other in conflict of their contracted distribution territories. After lengthy attempts to resolve the problems, Child chose to sever ties with the existing distributors, but did maintain relations with one successful dealer.
The Koto Trading Company was a division of Sankyo, a large pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Tokyo. Unbeknownst to their management, Koto had been the recipient of "bootleg" shipments of Harley-Davidsons that were supposed to be sold in Mongolia - but were instead diverted to Koto in Japan - in conflict with Harley-Davison's distribution agreements. However, Koto had been very successful and had sold all the inventory originally intended for Mongolia.
In August 1924, Child returned to Japan with an agreement with Harley Davidson and the Koto Trading Company to establish the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Sales Company of Japan, with Child acting as managing director. The company set up shop at Kyobashi Crossing in Tokyo with a supply of 350 motorcycles and $25,000 in spare parts. Within the next two years, Harley-Davidson sales in Japan eclipsed those of Indian and the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Sales Company of Japan was doing a brisk business in replacement parts.
While other brands of motorcycles were being imported for the Japanese market, only the Harley-Davidson was built as a commercial carrier and could be used to carry everything from candy to cement. Childs and his staff exploited this fact to great success. The well-connected Sankyo firm also convinced military and other government institutions to adopt the Harley-Davidson.
A fluctuating yen led Child to the idea of manufacturing Harley-Davidsons in Japan. With backing from the Sankyo company, in 1929 the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Sales Company of Japan established the Shinagawa factory, the first motorcycle production factory in Japan.
In spite of the success of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Sales Company of Japan, changing business relationships forced Child to leave the company in 1936. He immediately started Nichiman Harley-Davidson Sales in Tokyo, importing Harley-Davidsons from Milwaukee, and ran that operation until 1937, when a nearly eight-fold import tariff increase combined with national political tensions made it impossible to continue business.
Child returned to the United States and in 1945 obtained the national distributorship rights for BSA and Sunbeam motorcycles by the Rich Child Cycle Co., Inc., which was sold to BSA Motorcycles Ltd. England in 1954.
In 1977 Child wrote: "It is fair to state that (Shinagawa factory superintendent) Fred Barr, Harley-Davison Co. and Sankyo Co. Ltd. are the fathers of the Japanese Motorcycle Industry, which in recent years has swept the world with its remarkably clever and efficient models."
He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2006.

Q: How do I calculate the area of a window exposed?
A: How to find the area exposed (not covered by other windows) on your desktop? There is no default function for that. Here is an easy method to find out.
The method followed is to create a region corresponding to an area covered by the original window and keep on subtracting the overlapping region covered by other windows on the desktop above the specified window in Z-order. Once the exposed region is calculated, its area can be calculated by counting the points in that region.
I have written two functions 'Visible()' to calculate the percentage area exposed by the window and 'Area()' to calculate the area of a region. Both the functions are self-explanatory but commented.
I did the testing by creating a timer in my project and repeatedly calculating the area exposed. The area currently exposed is made as the application window title. By manipulating other windows, I could see that the area exposed is displayed as the title of the application window.Code:long Area(HRGN hrgn) { RECT Rect; GetRgnBox(hrgn, &Rect); for (int N = 0, X = Rect.left; X < Rect.right; X++) for (int Y = Rect.top; Y < Rect.bottom; Y++) if (PtInRegion(hrgn, X, Y)) N++; return N; } float Visible(HWND hwnd) { // Calculates full area of total window RECT Rect; GetWindowRect(hwnd, &Rect); int FullArea = (Rect.right - Rect.left) * (Rect.bottom - Rect.top); // Creates a region corresponding to the window HRGN hRgn = CreateRectRgn(Rect.left, Rect.top, Rect.right, Rect.bottom); // Gets the topmost window HWND hWnd = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_HWNDFIRST); while (hWnd != NULL && hWnd != hwnd) // If the window is above in Z-order { if (IsWindowVisible(hWnd)) // If the window is visible { // Gets window dimension GetWindowRect(hWnd, &Rect); // Creates a region corresponding to the window HRGN hrgnWnd = CreateRectRgn(Rect.left, Rect.top, Rect.right, Rect.bottom); // Creates a region corresponding to region not overlapped CombineRgn(hRgn, hRgn, hrgnWnd, RGN_DIFF); } // Loops through all windows till the specified window hWnd = GetWindow(hWnd, GW_HWNDNEXT); } // Returnes exposed area in percentage return (float) (100.0 * Area(hRgn) / FullArea); }

hangs on to win Pebble Beach
Send a link to a friend
[February 10, 2014]
(Reuters) — Jimmy Walker did it the
hard way, almost squandering a huge lead before registering a nervous
one-stroke victory to continue his hot start to the season at the $6.6
million Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday.
Walker began the day with a six-stroke lead but he made hard
work of it with consecutive bogeys at the 12th and 13th holes
that opened the door to his rivals at Pebble Beach.
He steadied the ship down the stretch for the most part, hitting
a series of precise shots, before a three-putt bogey at the
penultimate hole left him with a tenuous one-stroke lead going
to the par-five 18th.
But Walker managed a nervous par, sinking a five-footer to
stagger across the finish line with the victory.
He carded a two-over 74 to finish at 11-under-par 276, with
fellow Americans Dustin Johnson (66) and Jim Renner (67) equal
second on 10 under par.
It is Walker's third victory in eight starts at the start of the
season — a feat achieved in the modern era only by Tiger Woods,
Phil Mickelson and David Duval, according to the PGA Tour.
The 35-year-old from Oklahoma collected over $1.18 million to
increase his lead on the PGA Tour money list and also his lead
in the FedEx Cup points standings.
