The tips here are for advanced usages of composer and its assumed you have read about using composer and have a knowledge of your vendor packages to be updated. Let's consider, you want to update only one specific yii2 vendor library, without updating all the other extension packages?
If you are coming over to Yii 2 from Yii 1.x, you may have already read this useful wiki for creating dependent dropdowns. You can use a similar approach in Yii 2 to do the same. But if you are looking at a prebuilt solution that helps you manage it easier, read along.
This is for folks who are using
\kartik\widgets\FileInput to upload files from your client. How do you display an image for update after you have uploaded it to the server using the widget?
protected $_viewFile
This behavior will automatically set timestamp fields to the row creation and modification times.
Ok, it is a little bit difficult to full understanding the unsafe validator.
Today i want to share with you is "How can we write HTML Code in view files? I am writing this article because many times we can not use CActiveForm to design our form...
Step 1: Initialize the Bootstrap Tooltip & Popover plugins in your view layout file
@web\views\layouts\main.php. Add this to somewhere in the beginning head section (after you have loaded the Jquery using your AppAsset or something similar).
The only differences in Yii 2 is that its much simpler due to available functions in the Model class for loading and validating models.
login links will be
Modern browsers support SVG, older browsers do not. This replacement for CHtml::image() allows you to handle to propose SVG in an efficient way with PNG as a fallback.
To secure your database from inconsistencies resulting from failing (complex) operations, you (should) use transactions. However, complex methods often rely on other complex methods that themselves build on transactions. This HowTo presents a method to nest or embed transactions without relying on the database's nesting capabilities.
When using themes you want to changes some of the translations specifically to the theme while keeping the standard translations for most of the text. Duplicating the main translation file is a headache for maintainance. This how to provides a solution.
In this wiki I will show how could wo pass the third parameter to UserIdentity on login authenticate. So we can do separate login authentcation from two or more different models from single login form.
The CMenu class provides some useful features for generating menus in your web application.
I am going to show you an effective way to validate the uniqueness of multiple columns.
The number of languages supported by the standard CJuiDatePicker implementation is limited and the language code to use is different from the application's language code. This Wiki shows how to improve on that.

Merchandise- Carlsen, EMA, Schwarzer Turm, Tokyopop
December 9, 2006
Merchandise for global manga seems to be almost unheard of in America… thankfully, that's not the case in Germany. Let us know if we've missed any!
Purikura are those tiny little photo-stickers that're so popular in Japan… and apparently, CarlsenComics has designed a few frames! On the left is one for their monthly-manga-mag, Daisuki, and the one on the right is for Jibun-Jishin, a single volume work by Nina Werner. We haven't seen any info about were you can find these photo booths… the only knowledge we have about their existance at all comes from these two samples, found on the sites of Nam & Tram Nguyen and Nina Werner.
Nina Werner's work seems to be a popular choice for merchandise- characters from Jibun-Jishin grace the back of a windbreaker that's offered on their site- buy enough of their manga (or get a 1 year subscription to Daisuki), get a free jacket!
She also has pencil boards being given out as prizes as part of Animexx's advent calendar, but we haven't been able to find any images.
All we've seen so far from EMA is merchandise for the works of DuO- Mon-Star Attack & Independent. The stickers came with Mon-Star Attack v1, and the highlighters are currently being sold all over Europe. If you buy Independent v1, one comes attached, but there are five designs in all. Images are from DuO's website and Stabilo.com. Stabilo is a sponsor of ComicCampus, an annual manga contest. On their site, you can also find a "comic creator"- make your own comic, with characters from Independent!
Schwarzer Turm is a big fan of merchandise. They have a wide array of stickers, buttons, shirts and postcards available for their manga anthologies, like Paper Theatre. The homepage of The Royal Walchs (the team behind Magic Mütze) has a number of photos of various merchandise, so check 'em out here.
A pair of postcards seem to come with every volume of global manga Tokyopop Germany releases. The above are the sets we received with our volumes of Gothic Sports v1 & Iscel v1. The books themselves contain a number of color pages, in contrast to the releases states-side.
And everyone loves Nintendo DS, right? Tokyopop artists Anike Hage & Marie Sann paired up with eBay and Nintendo, and each designed a DS. Five were made of each design, which were then sold to the highest bidders on eBay, with the money going to charity. Images are from Marie Sann's homepage, and an Anike Hage fansite, with the latter copyright Guido Mudersbach and AnimeY. Tokyopop has also expressed an interest in making a line of shirts that look like the soccer uniforms in Gothic Sports.
Assorted News
December 4, 2006
Animexx has an Advent calender up (for those who don't know the tradition, you open a door every day from December 1st to Christmas, and find a little present), and so far, three pencilboards designed by Nina Werner (author of Jibun-Jishin) have been up for grabs. We'll keep an eye out for other global manga goodies!
David Boller of Lime Manga (Evergrey, Yaru) informed us that "Die Berner Zeitung", a large Swiss newspaper, published an article on Evergrey. We'll update with a translation soon! He also told us that Lime Manga are likely to be featured in the weekly culture show of Swiss National TV early next year.
EMA has announced new signing dates in addition to those we already posted about in their newsletter:
12/08, at 3pm
Signing with DuO (Indépendent)
Medienzentrum in the Hamburg main station
12/10, at 2pm
Signing with Alexandra Völker (Catwalk)
Presse und Buch in the Oberhausen main station
SplashComics also mentions that Indépendent v1 has gone into its second print run.
New Series from Carlsen & EMA
November 18, 2006
SplashComics notes that EMA has released the titles of two new series that should be coming out next summer.
Gott Gauss, by Viviane, a Swiss artist. The series apparently used to be posted as an online comic at SplashComics, so stop by if you're interested in some sample images.
Musouka, by Diana Liesaus. The 19 year old from Dresden recently won the Connichi doujinshi contest, and had her short BL story Puppet 175 published in the Shinkan Special 2005. The story was later republished in Lime Law v1, by Fireangels Verlag. She's on both Animexx & Y-Gallery.
In similar news, AnimeY reports that Carlsen Comics' new Manga Preview has a sample from a new pair of mangaka, more of whose work we'll see in spring of next year. Franziska Leviathan and Tina Lindhorst had a short story in Manga Preview, titled The Same Pleasure as Every Year.
Carlsen Comics newsletter
November 16, 2006
The December volume of Daisuki comes out on the 17th, with some info on Judith Park and a contest winning short story.
Gaming with Judith
Judith Park is not only manga star, but also one with cardgames! Especially the game "Hanfuda", or "Hwa-Tu", as it's called in Judith's native Korea. It has given the sweet mangaka a couple of sleepless nights already, because the game with the beautiful cards is addictive.
In a "Close Up Special", Judith explains the rules of the card game and shows her stubborn side… ^_^
There's also a new chapter of her ongoing story Y-Square Plus.
The Winner Is Announced!
After we published the best ten short stories of our writing contest in the July and August issues of Daisuki, you voted for your favorite, and gave them a special present: The winning story has been drawn as a short manga by Zofia Garden! Let yourselves be put into a romantic mood by this super-cute manga, and read everything about the final results of the contest!
Carlsen Comics sent out their Manga Newsletter, and here's the news:
The new Manga Preview is coming out- a free collection of samples from many of Carlsen's manga. Also included are sneak peeks at some of their global manga. It'll be available everywhere on November 17th- it should also be up for download soon, so we'll let you know when it appears online.
They also report plans for releases of new "home-grown manga" next summer, so "stay tuned…"
Also: Chat With Judith Park
AnimeY reports that on January 8th, they'll be holding a chat with Judith Park (author of Dystopia, YSquare, and YSquare Plus) and the head of Daisuki, Anne Berling. The chat will take place from 6-8pm (Central European Time).

I am pleased to provide today a second response to the Ruddock Report, by way of a "guest" spot from my friend and colleague Dr Alex Deagon, FHEA, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology.
Ruddock Report summary and responses (Part 2)
Following my previous post giving comments on Recommendations 1, 5-8 and 15 of the Ruddock Report and the Government Response, I will comment here on another set of recommendations (Recs 2-4, 9-12) and the likely outcome. Comments on recommendations 13-14, and 16-20, will (hopefully) be made in Part 3!
The Ruddock Report has landed! (Part 1)
The long-awaited Religious Freedom Review: Report of the Expert Panel (chaired by the Hon Philip Ruddock) has now been released publicly, along with the formal Government Response. After the prior leaking of its 20 recommendations there were no major surprises as to the final conclusion, but there is much interesting background to the recommendations (and in one or two cases the full Report seems to have a significant impact on how one should read the language of the recommendations.) It is also important to see the announced intentions of the LNP Government as to how they will respond.
In this first post in response to the full Report I will comment mainly on recommendations 1 & 5-8 and recommendation 15, with the other recommendations to be left for part 2 or later.
SDA amendments referred to another inquiry
A brief note about the Sex Discrimination Act amendments which have the subject of a number of recent posts. The House of Representatives has now adjourned for the year without a Government Bill being introduced to make any changes concerning religious schools and discrimination. So no binding changes will be made this year. On 6 December the Senate referred the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Removing Discrimination Against Students) Bill 2018 to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 11 February 2019. Submissions to the Committee can be made at the website linked here, and must be provided by 21 January 2019: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Legal_and_Constitutional_Affairs/Sexdiscrimination.
Note: this post has been edited- contrary to initial advice I had received from the Committee, the deadline for public submissions to the Committee on this inquiry is 21 January 2019, not 11 January.
Update on amendments to SDA in Parliament
Having noted last night that ALP-sponsored amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) impacting religious freedom were set to be debated today (Wed 5 Dec) in the Senate, this is an update on the events of the morning. The situation, to put it mildly, has been fluid, but this seems to be where we are up to.
Debate to be resumed on SDA amendments
Despite the deferral on Monday of a Bill introduced in the Senate to amend balancing clauses applying to religious bodies in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth), the Bill has now been rescheduled for debate in the Senate on Wednesday, December 5, between 11am and 12:35pm.
Result of Senate debate on amendments to SDA
A brief update on Parliamentary developments. The Senate debate on the ALP-sponsored Bill to amend the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 took place today. While initially the Bill had been subject to a tight time limit which meant it would have passed today if not actually voted down, at the last minute a Government motion amended this arrangement. The result is as follows:
Debate on this bill will continue at a later date.
It seems that the bill is likely to be referred for consideration to a committee, and the debate will presumably be picked up in the New Year.
There was a similar Bill, however, introduced into the House of Representatives this morning by the Leader of the Opposition. At the moment it is not clear whether this Bill will be debated again this week. More updates will be provided when more is known.
Contacting Parliament on sex discrimination amendments
A number of Christian and other religious organisations are deeply concerned about the proposals in the ALP-sponsored private Bill due to be debated in the Senate on Monday Dec 3. As I have discussed in previous comments (here and here) the Bill, which started out as an agreed measure to stop religious schools from expelling gay students on the basis of their "orientation" alone, has a number of other serious consequences for religious freedom, not only for schools but for churches, mosques, synagogues and other religious organisations (such as, for example, University student ministries.)
The Bill amends the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 to remove some clauses which have previously provided protection for Christian organisations to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs. It narrows the scope of s 37 of the Act, which has previously exempted religious bodies acting in accordance with their beliefs from being sued for discrimination on the grounds of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity. If the Bill in its current form goes through, a Christian student group, for example, may not be legally able to require those who engage in "education" on its behalf (whether at public meetings or in small groups) to teach the Bible's view on sex or sexual activity. A church may find that its "education" in small groups or in its church services can be challenged as providing "less favourable" treatment to same sex attracted members of the congregation.
As well as my previous comments on this blog, see these other comments from Christian organisations:
- "Why Australian Religious Freedom Is Under Legal Threat" (Akos Balogh, Gospel Coalition Australia, 1 Dec 2018)
- "ALP's Bill to Severely Limit Freedom of Religious Schools and Colleges and Religious Education in Churches, Mosques, Temples" (Mark Sneddon, Institute for Civil Society, 30 Nov 2018).
I have been asked how concerned citizens can contact their Parliamentary representatives. There is a helpful "contact page" which allows electronic messages to be sent on this Parliament house web page. There is a box to type in your postcode to find out who your local MP is, and the "refine search" menu on this page enables you to identify all the Senators for your State.
Points that could be made include:
- No religious schools want to be able to expel same sex attracted students on the grounds of their sexual orientation alone.
- However, the current ALP-sponsored Bill goes far beyond dealing with this problem, and will seriously reduce the religious freedom of religious schools to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs.
- The Bill is also so widely framed that it removes protections for all "religious bodies" in relation to "education", and this has the potential to make it unlawful for churches, mosques and synagogues to teach the doctrines of their faith to their own members.
- It would be best if legislation was not rushed through at the last minute. Parliament should wait until the Ruddock Report has been released and there is time for careful consideration and consultation before making any amendments in this area.
Government amendments to religious schools bill
For those following the debates about proposed amendments to discrimination laws removing religious freedom from faith-based schools, the LNP Government has now tabled a number of amendments to the ALP Bill released earlier this week. While these amendments are a move in the right direction, there are still some serious concerns about their effect on religious schools and their ability to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs.
ALP Bill on religious schools and students
Senator Wong, leader of the Opposition in the Senate, has introduced a Private Senator's Bill aimed at removing the power of religious schools to discriminate against same sex attracted students. Unfortunately, the amendments do much more than stop schools expelling students on the basis of their internal sexual orientation (a goal all sides of politics agree on.) They will have a serious impact on the ability of such schools, and other religious bodies, to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs. A more nuanced approach is needed.

Blue flower on the wrist
25 September, 2013Comments off
Here we have a simple tattoo of a blue flower. The design may be simple, but it's beautiful and ideal as a discrete tattoo.
Made with soft tones of blue, white and yellow; it can be a good reminder of the spring. Would you get a tattoo like this?

"How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You." Psalm 139:17-18
As a kid we would play pick-up football games or baseball games and before we started the game we would choose up sides. The two oldest guys or the two judged as best players would be the captains and they would take turns picking their players from the assembled group. It was a crude and simplified version of the NFL draft. Where you were chosen was important because it showed what they thought of you. If there were ten guys to be chosed you didn't want to be number nine or ten.
It matters what others think of us. It probably matters more than it should, but it is important to us to know that other people are thinking of us and that they think well of us. What others think of us goes into the mix of how we form our opinions of ourselves. The more significant that person is to us the more impact their thoughts have on us.
Therefore, it is good to know that God is always thinking of us. He thought about us before we were. In fact, we exist because He thought of us. We are His idea! And even more inspiring is that He not only thinks of us but He thinks well of us! He loves us!
If you are on the mind of the One Who loves you most, should not the ones you love most be in your thoughts? Do you not desire to be on the mind of those who love you? Doesn't it matter what they think of you? Is it not important that they affirm you and your value?
Keep you mind turned toward God and tuned to Him. Let Him dominate your thoughts and put His Word in your memory banks. Meditate on Him. And when He flashes thoughts of others through you mind, respond to that. Pray for that person. Call them. Send them a card, or a text or an email to let them know you thought of them. That shows them that they matter to you just like you matter to God.
Celebrate the fact that you matter to God! Live in the assurance that you are always on His mind. Fix your thoughts on Him and let those closest to you know you are thinking of them. Do something thoughtful today for those you love most.
Think about it - then do it!

I came across this article today and suggest you read it.
I came across this article today and suggest you read it.
Typo for name! It posted before I could correct it! It was the name of the King of Sodom-yikes! I was typing Berean which is definitely more my style!
Believers in Jesus need to research the foundations of any and all practises they are considering involvement with so the info brought forth in this article is relevant. Lack of knowledge and critical thinking has lead many well intentioned people astray.
Thanks for your research and links which I am exploring. Many concerns and questions are getting answered as I have attended some strange "Christian" meetings in B.C. these past few years and know people who have been connected to the "new churches" mentioned where bible knowledge is weak and encounter/experience/vision/dreams are the accepted manner of Holy Spirit communication. Also a church connected to P. Wagner, Argentina and the ICA where I confirm 7 mountain teaching as well as the 5 fold ministry with an apostle in authority controlling the elders, all the while, expecting revival to begin soon (it's been spoken of for several years) to fill an empty building. My critical thinking would have been viewed as bringing cursing upon the leadership so retreating was the option after praying with the small prayer team for over a year for the right order and function of the church elders be established. "Treason in high places" was a phrase which came to me as I inquired in prayer as to what was going on in this place. Your links/articles seem to confirm that word!
Like many of your readers I am without a "church" and trust the Lord to connect me with followers of The Way.
This should be common knowledge these days with the www & digital toys but that seems to distract most from seeking the " truth". I had my own personal experience not long ago with someone being new with born again life & left a career with occult alternative practice but still had " the energy " coming from her hand when she placed it on my shoulder ; with the intention to believe in me being healed for a physical issue. Well all I felt was very sharp prickling needles trying to pierce my skin; ( very unpleasant experience ). I didn't judge her but in a later time the opportunity came up for me to mention it & she knew & received the advise well. She must of gone to the Lord about it, as weeks later when she extended her hand to heal , all I could sense was the warm healing presence of God.

Gavin McInnes, founder of the "Proud Boys", made broadcast tolerance history when he forced an anal insertion upon himself while on the air, in order to prove to the world that he does not hate homosexuals.
Yet, despite this horrific, embarrassing, and seemingly incredibly painful procedure, virtually nobody on earth believes his claim of no animosity. This has befuddled and frustrated Mr McInnes, as his efforts were in true earnest. So now, he has decided to go a few steps – massive strides really, maybe even lunar leaps – further to prove his love for the LGBTQ community.
On Fox's "Hannity" show, with Sean Hannity, Gavin McInnes will have what he describes as "a rigorous, complete, mutually satisfying, emotionally connecting, and deeply penetrating romantic experience with a man" on live television.
McInnes explained his decision :
"This is not something I do everyday. It will be a completely new experience. Never before have I become lost in the musky smell of a man hovering over me, his rippling muscles glistening, his soul entering mine, deeper and deeper, until I'm lost in an ocean of bliss.
That is something I welcome experiencing for the first time. And maybe a second or a third. As many times as it takes to prove I am not a bigot. I'll take a bunch for the team. Maybe all at once. We'll see.
Anyways……if this doesn't prove my acceptance to the liberals, nothing will."
The McInnes episode of Hannity will air in August 2019.

Fokker Dr.I The Aces Aircraft, by Tomasz J. Kowalski and Marek Rys
Book published by Kagero in their 'Legends of Aviation in 3D' series in 2015, 140 pages. Hardback (N5422)
Brand New Book
This book is illustrated throughout with lots of black and white photographs, as well as colour drawings and diagrams of component parts and whole aircraft, many showing different designs, markings and camoflauge. Some of the drawings are presented in a 3D format, and 3D glasses are included with the book.
From the opening paragraph: Every war needs heroes – people whose bravery would be an example for others to follow. During the Great War which, between 1914 and 1918, engulfed almost the whole Europe, the need for such characters was very strong. The ferocious stationary fights, lasting not months but years, made it difficult to find heroes among exhausted infantry buried in trenches.
The situation was quite different in case of warship crews, but it was the air force where finding heroes was the easiest. The names of Immelmann, Boelcke, Garros, Pegoud, Lanoe G. Hawker became known on both sides of the front line. They were the "flying knights" effectively fighting the enemy aircraft. Among the most famous, was the German ace, known in the history and the culture as "the Red Baron" - "Der Rotte Kampfflieger" - Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen, the winner of 80 aerial combats. His name was often mentioned along with Lt. Werner Voss whose aerial victories account was a little more modest with 48 kills. The relation between the two pilots was not only their personal friendship, but also the type of the aircraft they died in. It was Anthony Fokker's famous triplane – the Fokker Dr.1. The deaths of both pilots became a legend...
Till this day we have not been able to determine how they died nor who sealed their fate. They were excellent pilots so their planes had to be exceptional. Without any doubt, the triplane fighter became legendary thanks to its pilots. The average aviation enthusiast always associates "the Red Baron" with the Fokker Dr.I, although only one fourth of Richthofen's aerial combats was won in that aircraft. Most books devoted to "the Red Baron" are graced with an image of the red Fokker Dr.I on the cover. What kind of aircraft was it really? Is the legendary construction, in fact, so remarkable? We shall try to answer these questions.

A top executive with Chinese telecom giant Huawei argued in court documents released Sunday that she should be released on bail from her Canadian jail while waiting possible extradition to the United States.
In a sworn affidavit, Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou said that she has been treated in a Canadian hospital for hypertension since she was arrested in Vancouver on December 1 for possible extradition.
Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, faces US fraud charges related to alleged sanctions-breaking dealings with Iran.
She is being held in custody awaiting a Canadian court's decision on bail on Monday.
Her arrest has infuriated Beijing, which demanded Washington drop the extradition request, and has stoked tensions during the trade war truce between China and the United States.
In a 55-page affidavit Meng said that she has suffered from severe hypertension for years. 'I continue to feel unwell and I am worried about my health deteriorating while I am incarcerated,' the document read.
Meng said that she has had 'numerous health problems' during her life, including surgery for thyroid cancer in 2011.
'I wish to remain in Vancouver to contest my extradition and I will contest the allegations at trial in the US if I am ultimately surrendered,' she said.
Meng said she has ties to Vancouver that go back 15 years. She and her husband own several properties in the city, and she even had a Canadian permanent residency permit that she has since renounced.
In a bail hearing that was adjourned on Friday, Canadian Crown prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley asked for bail to be denied, saying Meng has been accused of 'conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions.'
He said if convicted, she faces more than 30 years in prison.
The extradition process could take months, even years, if appeals are made in the case.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said politics played no part in the decision to arrest Meng.

What's New at Integrity Automotive?
Today Integrity Automotive wants to talk about the importance of listening to your car. You as the one who drives it everyday knows when something just doesn't feel or sound right. The BMW in this video is a perfect example.
The owner had noticed the car having a rough idle and just not running a smoothly as he was used to it. None of the sensors or warning messages appeared, not even the check engine soon light lit up on the dashboard so the owner ignored the issue.
Had he come in right away we could have easily replaced just the cylinder head gasket and sent him on his way. As it stands now the cylinder head gasket melted from the intense heat of each cylinder firing off between the cylinders allowing it to take out a 1 inch wide and 1 inch deep section between two cylinders!!! This damage is so extensive a new $12,000 motor is needed which is more than the value of the car. So now the owner has to start looking for a new car.
If you have any concerns about your vehicle, give us a call and schedule an appointment to have us look over your vehicle. We understand everyone is concerned about extra expenses these days, but a couple hundred dollar repair today opposed to a new vehicle tomorrow always makes cents!
At Integrity Automotive our goal is to honestly inform our customers of their options and let them choose what is best for their car and their pocket book. Integrity Automotive prides itself on its upfront pricing with no hidden costs and whenever possible gives the customer multiple options to fit their needs and price range. Integrity Automotive's goal has always been to help people make their car better and more reliable. If you have a classic hidden away somewhere and have always dreamed of getting it Hot August Night show ready, give us a call; and we can work with you to make your dream a reality.
Additional services Integrity Automotive offers include:
- Brake Inspection

The flavor of this ever-so-slightly sweet cracker is similar to the store-bought brand Wheat Thins. The buttery flavor and flaky, light texture are popular with both adults and kids. If you've never attempted to make your own crackers, you should. They're easy to make and are a tasty and versatile snack.
Because these homemade crackers have a little bit of sweetness to them, they'll taste especially good with sharp or salty cheese and a nice, homemade addition to your next cheese plate. Serve the crackers with sharp cheddar, like Grafton Village Cheddar or Bravo Farms Cheddar. Tangy blue cheese like Stilton, Cashel Blue or Rogue River Blue also pairs well since the sweetness of the cracker is a good balance to the tang of the blue cheese.

- 1 1/4 cups flour (whole wheat or white)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons butter (unsalted, cut into small pieces)
- 1/3 cup water (room temperature)
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor.
Add butter and blend until butter is fully incorporated.
With the blade running, add water and blend until a smooth dough forms. If you need to, pause the food processor and push down any bits to ensure all the ingredients are added to the dough.
Once smooth, remove the dough and divide it into 4 equal-size pieces.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll one of the dough pieces into a large rectangle. As you roll the dough out, lift it up frequently and turn it to keep it from sticking to your work surface. Make the dough as thin as you can. The thinner the crackers are, the flakier and tastier they are.
Use a pizza cutter or butter knife to cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch square crackers. If you have odds and ends of dough left, you can try to form it into a ball to roll out, or just make a batch of misshaped crackers.
Place the cut crackers on the baking sheet and continue the same process with each ball of dough.
Bake the crackers on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper until crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Cool and then store in an airtight container.
- For added flavor and texture, try sprinkling coarse sea salt or seeds, such as poppy seeds or sesame seeds, on the top of the crackers prior to baking.
- For another variation, experiment with the ratios of white to whole wheat flour (keeping the same amount the recipe calls for). You can use only one type or a mix of the two and see how the results differ. Note the ratio prior to baking so you can easily recreate it.
- These homemade crackers are tasty on their own, as part of a cheese plate, or dipped into hummus or other dips. If you don't plan on making the full batch, the cracker dough should be wrapped tightly in plastic and can be frozen. Fully defrost the dough and then follow the rolling and baking instructions.

The Christmas Peg by Cameron Williams
Published by Penguin Viking
The Christmas Peg is the tale of a boy called Wal and how Christmas went terribly wrong for him over and over again.
In the first year of the story Wal tried to be good, but didn't succeed. Even so, on Christmas morning he was so excited that he got the hiccups when he ran downstairs to see what Santa had left him. Unfortunately, all Wal found in his Santa sack was a puzzling thing…a small wooden peg.
It seems Wal's name hadn't made it to Santa's Nice List that year. Instead, he was among the children who'd been listed for no gifts: the children on the Naughty List. Santa had given Wal's much-wanted toy helicopter to someone else.
Next year Wal tried again to be good, but it didn't last and his name ended up on the Naughty list once more. His cricket bat went to another child and in his Christmas sack Wal found something even worse than a peg…a picture of one.
Understandably, the following year Wal stopped trying to be good. This resulted, yet again, in a flat sack under the Christmas tree. Even worse than a peg or a picture of a peg, Wal had been given nothing. All he had was the memory of a peg, so he cried and cried.
Everything reminded Wal of that peg, until he decided to make a big effort to be nice. Soon, he discovered being good could be fun.
That Christmas, Wal's sack was filled to the brim with wonderful gifts. He was so happy, he got the hiccups again.
This hardback picture book is full of funny illustrations and in contrasting 'naughty' Wal with his 'nice' sister, who receives gifts each Christmas, it certainly reinforces that only good behavior brings rewards.
However, I have some concern that it also focuses on fairly tough and long-lasting punishment for bad behavior: for Wal, several Christmases without gifts. While its intention is light-hearted, the storyline may worry very young readers.
The concept of the peg is unique, but could require adult explanation as to how the peg relates to the hiccups.
Rather than for very young readers, this book is probably more suitable for mid-primary-age children who should take its message in the spirit intended.

FARMINGTON, USA: Global Information Inc. is pleased to announce two significant new reports on the LED lighting industry that highlight a market poised for rapid growth through 2016.
The consumption of general lighting LED lamps in the United States reached $592 million in 2011, an increase of 22 percent over 2010and the market is forecast reach $2.4 billion in the year 2016, according to a new LED lamp market forecast and research report from ElectroniCast.
This report covers three major LED lamp application categories: government, commercial/industrial and residential.The 584-page market report highlights the Parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) lamp market, forecast for double-digit growth partially offset by the price declines, and the Multifaceted Reflector (MR) compatible lamps market forecast for impressive growth as the technology evolves to provide equivalent brightness to halogen MR lamps and competitive pricing;
The report also reveals that the market for LED-based decorative lamps will increase at well-over 40 percent per year, And that LED-based linear (tube) lamps - an emerging competitor to the fluorescent tube-- are forecast to increase in quantity at a very impressive annual growth of over 90 percent, well beyond the pace of the rest of the market.
UV LED market 2012
UV LEDs will continue to replace traditional UV lamps in incumbent applications and will also create new applications, especially portable ones, due to their compactness, lower cost of ownership and environmental friendly composition. As a result, the UV LED market is expected to grow roughly 500 percent, from $32.5 million in 2011 to more than $150 million in 2016, according to a new UV LED market forecast from Yole Developpement.
Yole predicts that within this period, UV LED market will grow by more than 500 percent, while the traditional UV lamps market will only grow by a factor of around 150 percent.
In 2011, LEDs continued being sold mostly in the UVA/B spectrum (especially in upper wavelengths, between 365 and 400 nm). More than 90 percent of the UV LED market outside of R&D was still covered by UV curing, counterfeit detection and medical and instrumentation applications requiring UVA/B sources.
UVC LEDs were still mainly sold for R&D and scientific instrumentation purpose, but 2012 will see the commercialization of the first UV LED-based purification system.
This report details all UVC applications (with a deep analysis of purification), presenting the UV working principle, the UV market structure, UV LEDs market drivers, challenges, and characteristics required, time to market and Total Accessible Market (TAM) for UV LEDs.

The CFD simulation can analyse, compare and benchmark the fuel efficiency of hull design variants at full-scale, with results available within one week compiled into a web-based report, including the CFD results and hull lines in 3D for more insight into flow details.
DNV GL said that as CFD simulation technology has matured, it has become a viable alternative to traditional model basin tests, while reducing lead time and costs. However, the computer resources and expert knowhow to design and carry out such tests are still not wide spread.
"What we have done with Virtual Trial is to let our customers run CFD simulations, without having to invest in CFD expertise," said Carsten Hahn, product manager at DNV GL – Maritime. "Virtual trials can be launched in complete anonymity, from anywhere, at any time, by simply uploading the hull geometry file and defining the operating profile."
Users of the Virtual Trial can conduct fully automated full-scale RANSE (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations) VoF (Volume of Fluid) CFD simulations on the resistance and propulsion of their vessel.
Users can also upload individual vessel hull forms, run simulations with pre-set parameters and then easily compare their results against the results of similar vessels in the Virtual Trial database. Whether for a newbuilding or retrofit project, Virtual Trial reduces the barriers to full-scale CFD simulation testing and comparative benchmarking.
Uwe Hollenbach of DNV GL – Maritime said: "Design offices and ship yards can analyze and benchmark different hull options during the conceptual design phase, then track how design changes affect a vessel's hydrodynamic performance.
"Shipowners can easily compare competing design proposals during the bidding process, gaining an impartial assessment of the designs at a fraction of the cost and lead time of model tests. For vessels in service, it could even act as a performance certificate, showing potential charterers or buyers how a vessel might perform within their operating profile."

Resolved PromoProcess — No response
Submitted forms as requested. Denied claims, said info was not provided. Resubmitted via email, with ALL documentation, PLUS extra info. The extra info showed my personal name AND my business name (I use one PayPal acct, don't need two). Refused my $30 rebate, claiming names did not match. This is just an excuse to not pay.
Went through getting 4 terse messages, with no courtesy, then rejected again. Sent one last note saying: Are you SURE that you want to reject my legitimate claim for this reason.
No response.
No question that they are trying to invent reasons not to pay. Buy.com should be ashamed to be associated with them. It gives them a bad name.


text: If you get a virtual or a dedicated server, you can use it not only to host your own sites, but, in addition to resell website hosting packages to other people. This will help you make good money, as the number of people who build their first site increases and the need for web hosting services is growing each and every year. In addition to the server itself, you'll need a merchant account with some payment processor, that will enable you to accept payments on the web, and a billing application so that you can link the two of them. Using your own server means to have additional control when compared to the ordinary website hosting reseller programs. If, for example, a customer needs to run some script which needs a specific application to be present on the server, there will not be a problem to set it up on a virtual or a dedicated machine, but it'll be not possible to do that on a shared server where all reseller accounts are created. With small effort and investment, you will have the option to start a successful hosting company of your own and to be a part of the ever-growing hosting market.

And speaking of pizza… Delhaize also makes a house brand roll-out pizza dough. Delhaize has confirmed that the emulsifiers that they use in this product (mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids) are plant derived, making this product vegan safe!
The first time I tried this I wasn't that impressed. It didn't bake up as firmly as the name brand pizza doughs I'd tried. But then I realized I just needed to tweak the instructions a bit. Instead of baking this for 10-12 minutes on 180C, I'll do 15-20 minutes at 200C, and then it actually comes close to the Herta doughs but at a third of the price.
I've even found these at little Delhaize Shop & Go stores, so they should be available at all their stores, I suspect.

OTTAWA—The Green party has hired an outside lawyer to investigate allegations of workplace bullying against Elizabeth May, an inquiry that the longtime leader said she requested herself to "put this matter to bed."
May said the lawyer will investigate claims by three former party employees who told the Star last week that the Green leader has created a toxic work environment with conduct that includes yelling at staffers and putting them down in front of others.
"These three individuals have created a caricature of me that bears no resemblance to reality," May said outside the House of Commons Monday, as Members of Parliament debated a workplace harassment bill that aims to better protect political staffers on the Hill.
"It's unacceptable to have anyone harassed or bullied, and I want to make sure that people of Canada know … that these stories are — well, I'd call them laughable, except that I'm not laughing," May said.
"I just know how my relations with them went, and I know the accusations are false."
The investigation is being conducted by Sheila Block, a lawyer with Torys LLP in Toronto. May said she expects the probe to take two to four weeks, and that Block's findings will be publicly released.
Rob Rainer, the party's interim executive director in 2014, accused the party of failing to address and prevent May's alleged pattern of "verbal and emotional" abuse, and called for an independent probe into her alleged conduct in the workplace.
Rainer declined comment when asked Monday about the lawyer's investigation.
Vanessa Brustolin, another one of May's accusers, questioned whether the investigation would be truly independent, given that the lawyer conducting it was hired by the Green party. She also said she's concerned the investigation won't include other current or former staffers.
"I can't be happy with this particular response," she said.
Diana Nunes, the third employee who alleged May is a "bully" in the workplace, said she's also skeptical that the review is truly independent, and questioned why May's accusers weren't consulted on who should investigate their allegations.
"I think at this point this matter should be probably referred to the Ontario Labour Board," Nunes said.
The employees' allegations — which were also detailed in a report by the Hill Times Monday — date back to May's earliest days as Green party leader in 2006.
Nunes, who worked for more than 10 years as the party's director of finance, told the Star last week that she witnessed May throw "a fit" on numerous occasions. She alleged May yelled at an employee when her new office hadn't been painted, and that she once slammed a door in anger when her daughter was denied a party stipend.
Brustolin, meanwhile, claimed that May yelled at her on three occasions when she worked for the party last summer. She said she was let go after complaining to her boss and May's assistants that May would "be fired" if she spoke to people like that in the private sector.
Further allegations were detailed in a written statement that Rainer submitted to several high-ranking party officials in November 2014. The document, which was obtained by the Star, details several alleged examples of May's "toxic" workplace behaviour during Rainer's time with the party.

Patricia Farnese, a member of the Green Party of Canada Fund, said last week that she received Rainer's document in 2014, and that a decision was made to take no action in response to his allegations. She said this was because of known friction between May and Rainer, as well as the fact that Rainer was no longer a party employee.
In an interview last week, May said she can't recall "ever yelling or screaming" in the workplace. McMillan, the party's executive director, also said she has never seen May yell in anger at an employee.
"A woman leader of a federal political party has to be tough. I do not regard having a backbone as a character flaw," May said Monday.
"Not everybody is going to like everybody else. The important thing is to have a respectful workplace to be able to work together, to have arguments, disagreements and to continue on as a team."

I'm supposed to include a sunset picture today, but I have to admit that it's been really tough for me to remember to go out and shoot one when I'm busy cooking supper. Crazy, isn't it, not remembering to take a photo while in the midst of several simmering pots, something in the oven, getting dishes out, blah blah blah.
Anyway, my friend Jean was nice enough to allow me to borrow one of hers. And here it is, much prettier than I could have taken.

I seriously laughed out loud and instantly wanted to chime in after reading a post by Beautifully Invisible from a couple of weeks ago entitled 'The 10 things that drive me crazy about your blog.'
I thought it was amazingly witty and quite humorous. But more importantly, absolutely freaking true! Sure every "professional blogger" has posted a "how to" of some sort, but there's no exact science about how to blog or how to blog without pissing off one of your readers.
So as a sometimes pissed-off-blog-reader here's my list of 5 super-uber annoying things about your blog (in no particular order). All five equally annoy the ish out of me! Laugh with me, please…
1. Links open in the same window: This may seem like a small thing. But often times I click on the link to read and immediately hit the "X" once I am done reading. By default. And then POOF your blog is gone. In most cases of course I remember what blog I was reading. But say I am reading your post from last month. I have to go back click here and here and there just to get back to where I was. Now, I am completely over you and your blog. I kid (a little).
2. Images + One Sentence = Not a great blogger: With the exception of a street style blog this is way way beyond annoying. Tumblr or Instagram is a perfect platform for this type of thing. I use Instagram for those times I don't have time to write but I love the image and feel the need to share with my readers. You should probably move your blog over to tumblr, but I'll quickly forgive if it's amazing imagery.
3. Say Word! Just words: We know that blogging originally began as an online journal and we all should be reading now so that we won't have Alzheimer's when we get older. But I, along with more than 75% of the blogging community, have A.D.D. So an occasional picture of anything is totally necessary.
4. Homonyms: I know you remember this from elementary school. There vs they're vs their. Oh…and two vs too vs to. How about where vs wear. And more complicated ones like site vs sight. All of these are signs that you didn't proofread or spell check. Or maybe you're just not that familiar with the English language and therefore should not be blogging!? #IJS
5. Copy and Paste Bloggers: I gave you an affectionate name because I still love you. In some instances this happens in the beginning of our blogging journey when we're just all over the place. Not really sure what we want to focus on but know we love EVERYTHING! Even though someone else has already posted it. But then there are those who make it their business to grab content (continuously) from another blog. Usually a blog that everyone else reads #EPICFAIL. Perhaps all of your readers haven't caught on–but we have.
Hopefully, I didn't piss anyone off (too badly) but if I did it was just for sh*ts & giggles sooooo kindly just laugh and comment below!

WTO Rules Against U.S. Over COOL
Posted October 20, 2014
As had been widely expected, the World Trade Organization (WTO) today confirmed that Canada has won another important trade victory in the long-running battle with the U.S. government over controversial meat labelling regulations that have caused significant economic harm to the cross-border beef and pork industries.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture amended its country-of-origin meat-labeling (COOL) rule after a WTO finding in 2012 that an earlier version was discriminatory. Canada and Mexico said the amended rule was even more onerous, further limiting their exports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. and negatively affecting the price of those products.
The World Trade Organization's (WTO's) decision finds that the U.S. COOL regulations violate global trade rules that require imports to be treated no less favorably than domestic products.
The panel agreed with Canada and Mexico that changes the U.S. made to the rules last year actually made the policy even more detrimental to livestock exporters. "The compliance panel concluded that the amended COOL measure increases the original COOL measure's detrimental impact on the competitive opportunities of imported livestock in the U.S. market," the panel said. "It necessitates increased segregation of meat and livestock in the U.S. market, entails a higher record-keeping burden and increases the original COOL measure's incentive to choose domestic over imported livestock. "
Canadian Trade Minister Ed Fast and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz welcomed the decision, issuing a joint statement. "Today's WTO compliance panel's report re-affirms Canada's long-standing view that the revised U.S. COOL measure is blatantly protectionist and fails to comply with the WTO's original ruling against it," they said.
"Canada will be watching this situation closely to ensure U.S. compliance in accordance with the WTO's clear ruling," the statement says, renewing the threat of retaliation with punitive tariffs on a range of U.S. imports. "We will continue to fully assert our rights to achieve a fair resolution to our concern, including seeking authorization to implement retaliatory measures on U.S. agricultural and non-agricultural products if and as necessary."
The U.S. government is believed to be considering an appeal of the decision, but a statement by a spokesman for the U.S. Trade Representative simply said: "We are disappointed that the compliance panels have found that the country of origin labeling requirement for beef and pork continue to discriminate against Canadian and Mexican livestock exports."

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA
Edited by Michael Lynch, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, and approved September 8, 2014 (received for review May 20, 2014)
The frequency of intraindividual mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms—heteroplasmies—can change dramatically from mother to child owing to the mitochondrial bottleneck at oogenesis. For deleterious heteroplasmies such a change may transform alleles that are benign at low frequency in a mother into disease-causing alleles when at a high frequency in her child. Our study estimates the mtDNA germ-line bottleneck to be small (30–35) and documents a positive association between the number of child heteroplasmies and maternal age at fertilization, enabling prediction of transmission of disease-causing variants and informing mtDNA evolution.
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size of the mtDNA bottleneck during oogenesis. For deleterious heteroplasmies, a severe bottleneck may abruptly transform a benign (low) frequency in a mother into a disease-causing (high) frequency in her child. Here we present a high-resolution study of heteroplasmy transmission conducted on blood and buccal mtDNA of 39 healthy mother–child pairs of European ancestry (a total of 156 samples, each sequenced at ∼20,000× per site). On average, each individual carried one heteroplasmy, and one in eight individuals carried a disease-associated heteroplasmy, with minor allele frequency ≥1%. We observed frequent drastic heteroplasmy frequency shifts between generations and estimated the effective size of the germ-line mtDNA bottleneck at only ∼30–35 (interquartile range from 9 to 141). Accounting for heteroplasmies, we estimated the mtDNA germ-line mutation rate at 1.3 × 10−8 (interquartile range from 4.2 × 10−9 to 4.1 × 10−8) mutations per site per year, an order of magnitude higher than for nuclear DNA. Notably, we found a positive association between the number of heteroplasmies in a child and maternal age at fertilization, likely attributable to oocyte aging. This study also took advantage of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to validate heteroplasmies and confirm a de novo mutation. Our results can be used to predict the transmission of disease-causing mtDNA variants and illuminate evolutionary dynamics of the mitochondrial genome.

He reminds me of my Uncle Joseph here.....those eyes.
It's a coveted Tyson trait, and Ayden and I both share it.
Beautiful, beautiful boy.....
These were taken the Sunday before Ayden went to Heaven. I will always remember this day. I had put him in his highchair, and I went over to the counter to get his cereal. All of a sudden, I heard him laughing...just cackling! I looked over, and I said, "What is so funny over there silly boy?" He was looking down at his bib, and then he looked up....at nothing.....and just laughed and laughed. I've thought long and hard about that moment....and I'm just not sure what I believe about it yet. He would often look away...almost drift off....and then "come back to reality" and look back at me as if had seen someone else. I believe that children, because of their innocence, can see things we can't. I like to think Ayden was often visited by angels and that an angel was making him laugh that day, but I'll never know. All I know is....it is a moment with him I will treasure forever.
Back to domesticity......
Jeremy's birthday is Saturday, so I asked him a few days what kind of cake he wanted. He loves fondant, so he asked for a cake that has fondant on it. Well, those cakes are not cheap. I told him if he wanted that kind of cake, I'd just have to try to make it.
Fondant is not easy....
I have never worked with fondant. Heck, who am I kidding....I've only baked a cake out of a box. If it has clear directions, and I don't have to rely on any kind of instinct, I'm there....I can handle it. So, making a cake with fondant - so not up my alley. But, for Jeremy, I decided to try it.
I found a recipe online. It looked easy enough, so I set out to do it. Tonight, after we got home from Thanksgiving festivities (more on that later....), we went to get the ingredients and hardware needed. Let me just say - it would have been cheaper to pay for a cake. BUT - I now have what I need for future cakes, so it all balances out.
The recipe for the fondant turned out not to be as hard as I thought. It was interesting, though. I don't like to get my hands dirty. This required slathering my hands in Crisco and then using my hands to mix and knead melted marshmallows and powdered sugar. Once that had been constructed into a "dough", I had to knead in food coloring. My fingernails now have a nice purple tint to them. Jeremy is a big ECU fan - he even walked on to the football team and was a member of the team for a year - so I knew purple and "gold" (yellow) would be my primary colors. I couldn't take many pictures because my hands were my tools, but Jeremy pitched in and took some pictures at certain intervals.
In the end, I had much success with my first "from scratch" experience. Tomorrow, I will be making buttercream icing and cake (the cake will be from a box....baby steps....) and let that sit overnight in the fridge. Then, Saturday, I will cover the cake in the fondant and add the finishing touches. I'll try to take pictures along the way and of course of the finished product. I'll just be happy if it's edible.
My next attempt at domesticity: sewing. Details on that journey to come soon....
Fondant Making:
Crisco (used as a base on the countertop so the fondant doesn't stick)
Powdered Sugar and melted Marshmallows = Fondant
Food coloring
Crisco covered countertop and powdered sugar waiting for the melted marshmallows
More kneading...you have to knead for about 8 minutes
My purple fondant!
The yellow!
Purple fingernails....(and me wearing Jeremy's pajama pants)

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — It is initially overwhelming, but the more you play it, the less intimidating and more accessible it seems, the former United States Open champion Jim Furyk said. He was talking about Chambers Bay, which measured 7,637 yards on Saturday, but he could have been speaking of the PGA Tour.
On moving day, the former quarry, now a quirky United States Open course, provided an elevator ride up the leaderboard for a group of players with ample promise but no major prizes. By nightfall, the top 14 included two major winners (Jordan Spieth, a co-leader after 36 holes, and Louis Oosthuizen) and several others holding tickets for the best-player-never-to-have-never-won-a-major sweepstakes.
Spieth, the reigning Masters champion, carded a 71 to lead a Fab Four at the top of the leaderboard. He was joined by Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace at four-under-par 206.
Johnson, the 54-hole leader at the 2010 United States Open, will have another chance on Sunday to close out a major. Grace, a six-time European Tour winner from South Africa, has won twice this year on the European Tour. Day, of Australia, is a two-time United States Open runner-up.
Lurking in the tall fescue grasses, ready to pounce should the leaders falter, are Shane Lowry of Ireland, Cameron Smith of Australia and the Americans J. B. Holmes, Brandt Snedeker and Patrick Reed. As a group, the seven have a combined 17 victories worldwide. They might not be household names, but they are tour-tested.
Johnson is seventh in the world, six spots behind Rory McIlroy, who is seeking his fifth major title. Day, a three-time PGA Tour winner, is ranked 10th. Snedeker, once ranked as high as fourth, is No. 30.
Day is 27, the same age as Grace. Spieth is 21. The eight players in red numbers after 54 holes average 27.4 years old. "There are a lot of good young players, guys who are carrying the torch for the younger generation and playing great right now," Snedeker said.
McIlroy, 26, who carded a 70 in the third round after consecutive 72s, knows how formidable the competition is in front of him, which is why he gave an answer that sounded suspiciously like a concession speech.
"I'm glad my name is on the trophy at least once," said McIlroy, the 2011 champion, "and I'll try to make it twice at some point."
At four over, McIlroy might not be out of it. Snedeker, at 34 the oldie among the goodies, has been around long enough to sense how the final round will play out.
"I'd be shocked if anything but two or three under par wins this thing by the end of the day tomorrow," he said.
Snedeker has twice contended in the Masters, finishing third in 2008 and sixth in 2013. He has three top-10 finishes in this tournament, including a tie for ninth last year. He has bided his time and persevered through all kinds of adversity. Snedeker has exhibited the patience and the putting stroke that United States Open courses are set up to reward.
"Whoever wins this golf tournament will have done a great job of A, being patient, and B, of not letting the surroundings affect you," Snedeker said.
He added: "There's been a lot of distractions about the golf course, guys being upset about it, and rightfully so. At the end of the day, it's the U.S. Open — you've got to put that behind you and play the best golf you can."
Who has been more focused this week than Day, who tuned out the vertigo that caused him to collapse on the final hole of his second round and posted a 68 on Saturday?
At 19, Day won his first professional event in the United States, on the circuit that is a rung below the PGA Tour. It took him a while to find his bearings, to firmly believe that he belonged, amid the deep talent pool on the PGA Tour. But with time, he has developed a comfort level that has freed him to play his best golf. The same holds true for Lowry, 28; Holmes, 33; the 25-year-old PGA Tour rookie Tony Finau; and Grace, 27.
"I've been playing much better in the States, and everything has been building up to something like this," Grace said.
He added: "Every golfer that teed it up this week, all our dreams are to win majors and to compete in the majors. So this is something I've dreamed of. This is something I've prepared for. This is something I've practiced for."
Some people might look at the leaderboard and see a production sorely lacking in star power. Furyk sees a star-making vehicle for one deserving player.
"If Tiger wins when he's in his prime, then it's a reflection of a great course," Furyk said, referring to Tiger Woods, the 14-time major winner who missed the cut. "If the guy that's ranked 150th in the world wins, it's not. I think it's a real slap in the face to a guy that might not be ranked that well but had a good week and played well."
With its fairways as hard as greens and its greens as brown and lumpy as potatoes, Chambers Bay does not fit the specifications of the golf-course classicist. Oakmont Country Club, it is not.
But in its water-conserving, environmentally conscious fashion, it might end up giving the golf world a champion, and a course, to define the sport for the next several years.
