Are you thinking about having one or more trees cut down and removed from your property in the near future? Do you have a plan yet to deal with the stumps once the trees themselves are gone? For many people, the most obvious way to deal with a leftover stump is to have it dug up and removed from the ground. For other people, the stump may simply be left as-is until it starts to decay naturally. There is, however, a third option. Having the stump ground down has many advantages over either removing the stump or ignoring it. Some of the reasons why you want to consider this option include:
Safety: Digging up and removing a stump can be dangerous. Tree roots can be huge, something that may require you to have an enormous hole dug in your yard. Having a deep open hole on your property can be a serious hazard. Once the stump remnant has been cut free, getting it out of the hole is another tricky and dangerous proposition. If you simply ignore the stump, on the other hand, you've still got a tripping hazard on your property. A tree stump grinding service will grind the stump down to a few inches below soil level. This will allow you to cover the stump with topsoil so that it is no longer a concern.
Speed: Digging out a tree stump can be a lengthy process. Even if you hire professionals who have access to things like cranes and digging equipment, you may have to spend days with an open hole on your property. But ignoring the stump is hardly any better. An untreated stump left on its own may take many years to even begin to break down. But once a tree stump grinding service gets to work on your leftover tree stump, the problem can be over in a matter of just a few minutes. Even relatively large stumps can be ground down fairly quickly, though they may take slightly longer than that to bury.
Cost: Doing nothing about a tree stump is obviously free and costs nothing out of pocket. But if you don't want to deal with the hazard of an exposed stump, hiring a tree grinding service to take care of the stump is going to be your best option economically. Removing the stump can have a variety of hidden costs: purchasing or renting digging equipment, heavy chains, repairing an underground utility line if disturbing the roots damages the line, hauling in large amounts of new soil to fill the hole, and so on. Once you add up all of these costs, you'll likely discover that stump grinding is going to be the most affordable option.

Yacht Insurance
Pantaenius has been arranging yacht insurance since 1970 and with over 40 years experience is one of Europe's most respected providers of yacht insurance. Whatever the shape or size of your yacht, Pantaenius is the insurance specialist for you.
With offices throughout Europe, the States and Australia and over 35,000 trusted partners around the world, Pantaenius is well placed to provide the best support, no matter where you are cruising with your yacht.
Your Yacht Insurance Solution
As a yacht insurance specialist we constantly review and develop our insurance products to ensure they meet the changing needs of boat owners and remain at the forefront of the yacht insurance market. Our policy is to arrange comprehensive cover that brings together effective solutions for your individual needs.
If you are going to compare boat insurance it is important to look at the cover being offered. There is a general misconception that all yacht insurance policies are the same – they are not!
One of the market leading aspects about the Pantaenius insurance is that it pays the Agreed Fixed Value noted on your policy schedule. This is an amount agreed between you and the insurers at the time the insurance is taken out. Unlike other providers, the Pantaenius policy does not pay the market value at the time of the loss or reserve the right to replace the yacht with similar.
Pantaenius also includes cover for club racing and regattas as standard. For some designs, and if a yacht is being heavily raced certain warranties may be applied in relation to racing. If this is the case, this will be made clear on your policy schedule.
Pantaenius hull insurance also covers you when your sailing boat or motor yacht is used by friends and family, so it is generally fine to lend your boat on a non-commercial basis. Additional benefits include:
- Cover for damage as a direct result of a part failing due to wear and tear; latent defect; corrosion of any kind or rot, only the cost of repairing or replacing the failed part is excluded.
- New for Old cover on all parts and materials less than 10 years of age and is available as an optional extra for boats aged over 10 years.
- No Policy Deductible applied to claims for total loss, personal effects or damage by fire, theft, or if your yacht is collided with whilst berthed or moored, by a boat which is underway.
- Using carefully selected insurers to underwrite the Pantaenius scheme means Pantaenius is well placed to offer the right insurance solution for you whether you have a sailing boat, motor cruiser or superyacht.

Trick or Treat?
Halloween could be ghoulish and spooky, a chance to show off creativity through costumes and decorations, mixed with a good walk around the neighborhood. But instead it seems more and more to be focused on the CANDY. Have you noticed that Halloween isn't just one day of fun anymore? The holiday is now extended into over a week of decorations, costume parties and SUGAR. How do your kids act with that sugar? Is it good for their stomachs, teeth or waistlines? Here are some ideas to help you and your family have a healthy Halloween!
If it's a school party that you're planning – fill gloves with popcorn, peel clementines with celery bits for sweet pumpkins, make chocolate chip & banana ghosts. Leaf shaped whole wheat crackers with cheddar cheese carrots and cucumber pieces to dip in ranch dressing (in a pumpkin shape), and carved fruit will all give energy without a sugar crash afterwards!
For the front porch, consider handing out glow sticks, playdoh, or other healthy alternative treats on the 31st. And if you do go trick or treating and end up with a bag of candy tempting you and your kids to overdo it – don't forget that the Switch Witch can help decrease the cavities and stomach aches. She comes after the trick-or-treaters have fallen asleep and trades the bag of cavity-producing calories for a special toy. It takes planning (especially because if parents eat the candy – the family is not any healthier!) We suggest that you talk to your kids about your plan. Don't be like Marge Simpson: Don't greet your kids at the door dressed like a witch, gleefully snatching all their candy and replacing it with plain brown toothbrushes, unflavored dental floss, and fun-size mouthwashes. This isn't about taking all the fun out of Halloween. On the contrary, it's about helping kids to understand that fun doesn't have to mean food." So go trick or treating – but keep the focus on the fun – not the corn syrup! Go here for more healthy Halloween ideas!

A Republican lawmaker in the U.S. House has introduced legislation that appears to be aimed at barring U.S. embassies from flying the Pride flag in recognition of the LGBT community.
With little fanfare last week, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) quietly introduced the measure, which seeks to "prohibit the flying of any flag other than the United States flag over United States diplomatic and consular posts, and for other purposes."
Although the title of the legislation is public, the full text of the legislation isn't online at the Library of Congress website. Duncan's office didn't respond to the Washington Blade's comment for information.
Ian Thompson, legislative director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said based on the title of the legislation, the measure seems aimed at barring U.S. embassies from flying Pride flags.
"I don't believe it is specific to rainbow/Pride flags, but that is clearly the motivation for this ridiculous, petty bill," Thompson said. "It is telling that many of the most doggedly anti-LGBTQ members of the House of Representatives are co-sponsors."
The bill has 33 co-sponsors, many of whom with notoriously anti-LGBT records, including Reps. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), Steve King (R-Iowa), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).
The flying of Pride flags at U.S. embassies has become common as a sign of U.S. solidarity with the LGBT community overseas. Days ago, the U.S. embassy in Belize raised the Pride flag in support of LGBT people in that country, according to a local Channel 5 Belize TV news report.
In a statement to the Washington Examiner, Duncan said the legislation is attempt to maintain focus on the U.S. flags at posts overseas.
"The United States flag is the single greatest symbol of freedom the world has ever known, and there's no reason for anything but Old Glory to be flying over our embassies and posts around the globe," Duncan said.
The Blade has placed a request in with the State Department seeking comment on the legislation.

Paparazzi fodder aside, love her or hate her, Lily Allen is fun to follow, and today is perfect proof: Not only did Ms. "LDN" join the likes of David Bowie in defending radio institution BBC 6 Music, but she also weathered an inevitable Courtney Love storm.
"I read that they want to invest in quality over quantity, but how does that make sense?" Allen wrote in the Guardian of the BBC's rationale for giving their beloved radio station the axe. "If they close 6 Music, instead of acts like Seasick Steve and presenters like Lauren Laverne, it will be the Pussycat Dolls and Fearne Cotton on Radio 1."
True that. I mean, we'd totally rather listen to Seasick Steve, the musical Epic Beard Man, over a couple non-Mariah/Beyoncé pop stars any day. We'll see, of course, but meanwhile Courtney Love would love to respond to a few choice Allen remarks:
I can't believe someone who did massive amounts of cocaine at my house and was thrown out blamed me for drugs, said I gave her shrooms…
publically she said I gave her hallucinogens, when she did about a kilo with my daughter asleep upstairs, and had to be physically removed.
There's more where that came from, but you get the point: lots of drugs floating around the Cobain estate. Good luck with all that.

Signals originally was a DOS program that was written by Professor Roger Easton, though a version for Windows is being written and is now available for beta testers.
Signals allows the user to generate one-dimensional complex functions, process them in various ways (histograms, Fourier transforms, convolutions, etc.), and graph the results.
The DOS version has been run in nearly all versions of Windows with no difficulty. If run in Windows, the program runs in a normal DOS Window for text input, but switches automatically to a full-screen graphics display when necessary. The program then remains in full-screen model until the program closes or the user manually switches to a normal window by simutaneously pressing the "ALT" and "Enter" keys. The user may switch between these two modes at any time via , but the graphic display is "frozen" when viewed in a normal window". Graphics screens may be captured to the Windows Clipboard by pressing "PrtScn", and thence pasted into graphics applications.
Signals for DOS: Four files are generated: the executable file "SIGNALS.EXE", a short text documentation file "SIGNALS.DOC", an icon suitable for use in Microsoft Windows ("SIGNALS1.ICO"), and the Microsoft Hercules Graphics Driver ("MSHERC.COM"), which must be run before the program if using a Hercules monochrome graphics card. To run this in Windows newer than XP (XP works OK) or other modern operating systems, you will need the free DOSbox download. See this page for more details.

You have to take a careful look at different herbal male enhancement pills if you want to improve your chances of having sex. You need to read about these pills to get a better idea of how they can be used and also about what you could be getting out of them. It is a big point to see when finding something effective when getting anything going well.
First, reviews often take a look at the ingredients that you will get out of a product. These should be more than just natural in nature. They should also be items that are safe for the body to use.
In fact, you have to take a look at what you might experience when it comes to yohimbe. This ingredient has to be seen carefully because it can create an unhealthy increase in your heart rate. Always check on reviews to see if this harmful ingredient is included and if there are other products that might be dangerous at certain doses.
The results that come with the product should be examined in a review. These include results like the ability to develop a healthier erection or an ingredient in your energy during sex. You can even learn about whether or not a product has given you the sexual energy you need in order to stay active without risking premature ejaculation.
The arousal benefits of a product should be checked on in a review. This relates particularly to whether or not your body will feel like having sex after a while.
It is especially best to see if a review has information on whether or not you will get these results in a certain period of time. Most reviews tend to take a closer look at the ways how your body can handle the product after a period of time. This includes cases where your body might experience the best results in a few minutes after taking it. Sometimes you might even get the best benefits off of it when you use the product for a few weeks as advised.
You should take a look at the price and guarantee that comes with a product just as well. This includes a review of the cost of the product for a certain supply that can last for a month. You can even see what the guarantee is where you will end up getting a refund on what you do not use if you return it within a specific amount of time. The terms will vary by each product but they are worth taking a look at so you can see what you will get out of something.
You have to be aware of what you are getting in one of these products if you want to have a better sexual experience. The benefits of products can vary but all herbal penis enhancement pills will be made with the intention of supporting sexual activities in your body. Be sure to see what you will get out of such a product when finding something of use.

My Eyes Have Seen the Glory of God: Let God Plan for Your Life (Unabridged)
- $18.99
- $18.99
Publisher Description
This is the story of how my family and I had to flee from our homeland, Congo, during the war in 1996-97. It is about how we survived many obstacles, including war, soldiers, snakes, hunger, and exhaustion, through our continued belief in God. Through prayer and dedication, we made it across dangerous waters to countries that, at times, were not very inviting. This is a testament to how prayer can get a person through the tough times - including the many physical, emotional, and spiritual trials we face every day of our lives.
Through the glory of God, we can be saved from the harsh world that we live in. This book is also a testament to how keeping faith and not giving into the despair can bring a better life to those who are suffering. Even in times when things looked most hopeless, my family was able to come together in Christ's name. His words brought us comfort, even when our beds were the rocky ground beneath us. Through pray and divine intervention, we were able to resist the temptation of hate and hopelessness, knowing that He was there with us, on the waters of Lake Tanganyika, in the jungles of Tanzania and to our home in Buffalo, NY.
This book also gives advice on such things as discrimination, resisting evil and living a Christian lifestyle.
I wanted to share my story for many different reasons. First, I wanted to show how faith in God can change someone's life. Next, I wanted to celebrate the joy I have felt by having Christ in my life. Also, I wanted to share many of the lessons I have learned as I came face to face with doubt, hopelessness, and evil. My final reason is because I wanted to give hope to those who feel lost.

Top official: Azerbaijan's public policy not carried out under influence of foreign forces
Baku, Azerbaijan, May 30
The arrest of Leyla and Arif Yunusovs, Khadija Ismailova and Rauf Mirkadirov is not a tendency of civil society's norms and domestic policy Azerbaijan, Ali Hasanov, the Azerbaijani president's aide for public and political affairs, said in an interview with ANS TV channel.
Hasanov noted that Azerbaijan has more than 12,000 journalists and most of them successfully work freely.
"There are non-governmental organizations representing 3,500 representatives of adult population and the same number of young people in Azerbaijan. There are many human rights organizations, their leaders criticize the government of Azerbaijan not less than Leyla Yunus and others, but they are free", he said.
Ali Hasanov stressed that the arrest of 3-5 people due to various violations of the law at different times is not a tendency of civil society's norms and domestic policy Azerbaijan
"As for their release, Mr. President showed humanism, pardoned the majority of people arrested for various offenses or other acts, and the policy of pardoning has continued. This in no way can be based on will and demands of the international community. Azerbaijani civil society does all this because it is needed for the people of Azerbaijan", he added.
Ali Hasanov also noted that public policy of Azerbaijan is not carried out under the influence of any foreign forces. He added that today the norms of Azerbaijani civil society continue to develop.

A great book is a treasure because of the story told by the words between the covers, but some can impart that same kind of thrill before you even flip to the title page. Black Sparrow Press, the small and remarkable 1960s publishing house that gave us Bukowski, did both beautifully with distinctive colours, graphics and type.
Black Sparrow Press was founded in 1966 by John Martin, who together with his wife Barbara who designed almost all of the iconic book covers and spines, mastered the craft of turning a brilliant story into an equally brilliant artefact. The design choices they made half a century ago made the books they published beloved by readers and collectors, then and now.
It begins with Bukowski
The legacy of Black Sparrow Press will always be intrinsically tied to Charles Bukowski, literary laureate of the down-and-out. In 1966, he was a 46-year-old post office employee regularly writing poems for underground publications. Martin discovered his work and got in touch, first as a fan, and then with a proposal: He would offer Bukowski $US100 a month — for life — if he quit his job to write full-time. Martin had enough faith in the man's talent that he decided to start an entire business based around his words.
It began with Bukowski broadsides, but Martin had bigger plans that would require an investment that went far beyond a mimeo machine. For the next 36 years, he published and promoted a roster of authors who not only helped define that heady era of experimental prose and poetry, but also reintroduced older authors to a whole new audience (please please please, everyone go read something by John Fante! Ask the Dust is fantastic).
My first Black Sparrow Press book was also my first Bukowski: the thinly veiled autobiography Ham on Rye, bought from the (now-defunct) Borders at the (now-defunct) Atrium Mall in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
I was catching an early morning flight back to California after my sophomore year of college and wanted something to keep me busy on the journey. I picked it up because it caught my eye, and after scanning the first page I liked how it read, too. I didn't get any further before I bought it and I didn't have to because somehow it already made me happy.
Thus began my love affair; I started to learn more about Black Sparrow Press, and now, like other Black Sparrow collectors, can't pass up a copy — any copy — when I find one at a used bookshop. Because I know I will like what's inside. And the books themselves — wrapped in matte, slightly textured paper that feels good in the hand and looks good on the shelf — well, they are freaking wonders of print.
Last year I spoke with Martin on the phone for a short piece I wrote in an upcoming book called The Who, the What, and the When, briefly covering his relationship with Bukowski for an illustrated collection of "the secret sidekicks of history". But I wanted to hear more about his design vision. After we spoke, he sent me an envelope of covers, which I've photographed and included here, along with some of the favourites from my own collection.
More than words
Martin knew he wanted his books to stand out on the shelves — a kind of visual shorthand between he and the reader that immediately communicated a level of trust. As he told David Wilk in a WritersCast interview, he saw Black Sparrow as a kind of spiritual successor to New Directions, a publishing company that had the same effect on Martin growing up.
He accomplished this in a few different ways, and was willing to take certain design risks to see his visions through. Rather than stick with the traditional 5 x 8 inches for paperbacks, he opted to increase the dimensions to 6 x 9 inches, now considered a standard size for "literary" works but uncommon at the time.
"All the racks that held the paperbacks in bookstores were built for this smaller format," he told me. "My sales reps said if I went up it would be the end of Black Sparrow. And I told them: 'Well, they're just going to have to build new racks.'"
He also changed how his titles would feel in the hand and look on the shelf. "I hated that slick, coated cover-stock that was generally used on paperbacks. As soon as you opened them the cover would curl away vertically from the book towards the spine. I mean, I understood the reason the publishers did it — it made the covers much less vulnerable. But since we weren't printing big editions for the mass market, I figured the people who would buy our books would take care of them," he said. "So we used white or light-coloured stock that we colour-printed in both letterpress, and later a combination of both letterpress and offset. Everything just looked so much brighter."
This choice of cover-to-cover letterpress was a monumental undertaking — eventually he switched to offset for the pages, but kept the covers in all their gorgeous matte glory. In addition to the paperbacks, Martin was also bringing a fine press sensibility to the market with concurrent runs of limited edition hardcovers of each release — an unusual practice then, and now.
An artist emerges
If the combo of Martin's sensibilities and Bukowski's skills were the basis for the company, it was actually Martin's wife Barbara — whom he met on a blind date and married three months later — whose creative work turned the Black Sparrow collection into icons. She provided an integral ingredient in that alchemy that made them special.
Barbara didn't have a graphic design background. "She'd never even taken an art course of any kind," Martin says. She was 22 years old, and had worked for a few months at a department store where they laid out newspaper advertising. She had picked up a little information about type, and how to arrange it, and all that — just very commercial stuff. But she had a vision far beyond that, and she expressed it."
The first three or four Black Sparrow projects — "just pamphlets, really" — were designed by the printer ("Who was a good designer!" Martin said). But one day, during the little-over-an-hour drive from LA to Santa Barbara, Barbara decided to start sketching. "I had the manuscripts all ready to go," Martin said. "She looked at them and said: 'I could do better than that.' I said: "Lemme see." So she sat with her sketchpad and designed all five books."
And thus began her role as cover artist. "She normally didn't read the manuscripts," Martin said. "I would tell her who wrote the book — what they were like, personally — and more or less what the manuscript contained. Then she would take that all in and do a half a dozen sketches. We'd talk about them, she'd do two or three more, we'd look at them, and then she'd finish them off."
"She did most of it on her own. In those days there were no computers; all of the covers were done by hand with pressed type. Each cover, was an original little work of art with the type pasted on it."
Post script
Martin was the sole proprietor of Black Sparrow Books until he sold the company in 2002. When he began, he was selling to over a thousand independent booksellers; in the end, that number had shrunk to 50, with the majority of sales going to three big retailers — a sign of the changing times that only went to show Bukowski, Fante, and a few others can be found by the Harper Collins imprint Ecco, with the rest of the backlist available here.
I'd recommend a trip to your local shop to track down a well-loved copy of your choosing, to have and to hold.

Physicians Are Not Immune to Marketing

We were pleased that your recent editorial "Your Soul for a Pen?" (1) explored an issue of paramount importance for medicine today. Aggressive marketing to physicians has created real and perceived conflicts of interest and casts doubt on the appropriateness of treatment choices. The editorial observes, and we concur, that lavish gifts with no educational component must be eliminated and that gifts of any size erode public trust in the medical community. The evidence for these points is overwhelming; we, too, are aware of the research showing that even small gifts can affect prescribing behavior. We also agree that drug companies would not dispense token gifts unless they had impact.
We were, therefore, surprised and dismayed that the editorial went on to maintain that physicians are able to resist the influence of gifts. Gifts do set off powerful psychosocial dynamics, promoting a felt need, conscious or unconscious, to reciprocate. No less important, gifts serve as an entrée to physicians' offices so that drug reps can promote their products.
For these reasons, The Prescription Project is working to promote policies that more effectively govern financial ties between the medical profession and industry. These include a ban on gifts. Ensuring that physician-industry relationships are free of conflicts of interest and that physicians base their prescribing decisions on accurate and unbiased information is essential to sound medical practice and public confidence in the profession.

We need songs, art and words about putting blankets or other materials around an old or new fridges to insulate it and make it green.
We have put plain fleece blankets around our refrigerator and it really helps. We used magnets to make them stay a little closer. Refrigerator insulation on old and new fridges rock. Ask for pics if you want to.

The refrigerator is the most energy needy appliance in your home. Adding additional insulation to the outside of your icebox can cool your energy bills considerably.
It takes 50% less power consumption through extra insulation with polystyrene foam (styrofoam) to make a green eco fridge!

We had our first snow of the season today.
We were burning the last of the boxes when it started.
The momma cows with their babies have been moved into the hay field that just got mowed and baled a couple of weeks ago.
They are there, day and night, noting my presence each time I come out the front door.
They warn me with their eyes to stay away from their babies.
Their babies often run about and make me smile.
As you can see, we got some frost out on the pumpkin.
I can't believe my brother said I was optimistic for bringing 2 snow shovels.
When will he learn that I know a few things, too? :D
We spent the rest of the day with good food in a warm house.
The fireplace is going.
Enjoy your first snow and accept the fact that winter is here again.
You might as well.
It will be here for the next 6 months.
I hope I get to keep the company of the cows.

Time for another '70s toy commercial from Hasbro and the Duke archive. Like Leggy Fashion Dolls, I don't believe that the Great Moves party game had a long shelf life. It looks like a Twister with something of a proto-Win, Lose Or Draw spin, only more logistically complex than either. For maximum 70s-ishness, the partygoers include Fred "Rerun" Berry and Roz "Pinky Tuscadero" Kelly!
Pretty Sneaky, Sis

Manila, Philippines.- The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) solicited the help of Smartmatic in supplying over 2,500 laptop computers, which were used in the first automated election last May 10. The Dell Latitude laptops were utilized during the election management and preparation, in previous field tests, and on Election Day.
Smartmatic is a multinational technology company that designs, provides and deploys technological solutions that help government to endow their processes with transparency and efficiency, and to improve existing systems or processes.
Convenience and Transparency
Being the first automated election in the Philippines, it was necessary to choose the best computer available to ensure success. Dell Latitude laptops were selected primarily because of their ability to withstand heavy use, hundreds of tests, frequent transportation, rough handling, and the extreme weather conditions in the Philippines, with the prime directive of guaranteeing the protection of the official election data.
In terms of convenience, Smartmatic found the features of the Latitude laptops to be invaluable. The crisp screens and keyboard size enabled the electoral personnel to work comfortably without the need of additional accessories, such as large monitors and external pointing devices. Managing information was also quick and accurate because of Intel-based processors, which provided the power needed to run database and application systems.
Surviving The Challenges Of Automated Elections
Although Dell's laptop computers provided flawless service, they were not spared from the challenges brought about by the first automated elections in the country. One main challenge regarding the portable equipment was in cloning all the systems in order to have the same audited base image to start the configuration and personalization process in all the official equipment. The compatibility of Smartmatic's cloning solution and the hardware managed to make the cloning process a success.
All in all, the support provided by Dell allowed Smartmatic to save time, allowing its technical support group to focus on platform tests and adjustments rather than the infrastructure.
''There were many features that we liked about Dell's equipment. The Dell laptops with PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) support helped us greatly with the production process. The Dell servers with their automated preinstalled systems saved us a lot of time. The ample number of USB ports in the laptops allowed us to use USB security tokens to perform a really secure deployment. All these features and then some were included at no extra cost, fitting nicely into our steep budget constraints.'' - Salvador Sosa, Technology Department and Support Manager, Global Services, Smartmatic Corp.
''We are proud that we were able to take part in this milestone. It was not easy to implement the automated election, but because of the cooperation among Smartmatic, Dell, and COMELEC, we managed to make it through. We look forward to working with Smartmatic and the government in the coming future and deliver to them the best solutions and services that we can offer.'' - Ricky Lopez, Country Manager, Dell Philippines.

It is Uncharted; a daring collaboration from two of the world's great hatmakers. Hatmosphere, by New Zealand's Hills Hats (est. 1875) and Goorin Bros, America's Bold Hatmakers (est. 1895) are joining forces to design and make fresh, extroverted Uncharted hats.
Hills Hats first connected with Goorin Bros making Oilskin, Deer Nappa and technical fabric Hydrotex hats for their label three years ago. The potential to expand into uncharted territory followed visits to each other's factories, sharing specialist hatmaking knowledge, skills and ideas like mad scientists.
"Uncharted is an opportunity to reach beyond the norm for both retailers and customers," said Hatman, aka Simon Smuts-Kennedy, from Hills Hats. "Our hats will shock, entertain, and make people giddy with excitement."
Hatman's Uncharted collection will be based on one off master pieces featuring the finest faux furs, Italian leathers, cashmere wool and signature satin linings. Goorin Bros are busy collating their Unchartered collection, made in Newark.
Ben Goorin said Uncharted will be "punchy and ever evolving".
Uncharted hats will be released in early December 2017 in selected Goorin stores across America and in hat specialist stores in New Zealand and Australia.
The backbone of Hills Hat's Wellington factory was in making uniform hats. This has steadily turned into a high-end fashion department, running with Hatman's combination of classic designs, elaborate fabrics and twisting traditional silhouettes. Hatman's persona has evolved from adventures worldwide, wearing a mask and hat while armed with two suitcases of hats creating export markets in Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and America. Goorin Bros have thirty-four stand-alone stores throughout North America and are an entrenched international brand. With a growing appetite for statement hats, Uncharted will change the hat mould.

Xbox One: a new direction, an honest mission
Xbox's next generation was shown only as a concept in Seattle yesterday, as the truth of Microsoft's multi-media intention. Wait for E3 to judge its games component, says Patrick Garratt.
Yesterday was about showing two large pieces of hardware, dropping any pretense that it's "all about the games," and saying Microsoft is a company that wants to control living room entertainment.
What do you think?
I've been asked that question more than a dozen times since last night. What do I think about Xbox One? What does anybody think? The presentation wasn't aimed at me in particular because it was apparently aimed at a person in need of everything, and it's obvious "gamers" are going to be pissed because Xbox One isn't a video games console. Games are just part of it now.
I've seen a huge amount of negativity about Xbox One this morning, as I did instantly after the reveal in Seattle, and, if you're asking me what I think, I think basing any real opinion about the future of Xbox's games component on what we saw yesterday is previous. As I said in this video chat with Brenna and Dave earlier, Microsoft's mission yesterday was to say, "This is what it is." The original Xbox and Xbox 360 were primarily video games consoles. Xbox One, at least on a concept level, is not. It's Microsoft in the living room. It's a media hub. It's taking Windows 8, and Kinect, and live TV functionality, and games, and DVR, and Skype, and Live, and Bing, and Explorer, and it's combining it all into an ecosystem that makes sense from the couch. It's about general media usage, and yesterday's presentation reflected exactly that. We saw a top-down view of Xbox One's concept, which is a collage of general services.
Xbox One is going to be expensive, and it's going to be aimed at an affluent, primarily American consumer. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are different, and they span different markets. The new Microsoft box, in a games sense, will likely be focused on premium "experiences" such as Bungie's Destiny. PS4 is more open, is more traditional, will almost certainly be cheaper, and is aimed younger. While PS3 and Xbox 360 were so closely aligned they were nigh on indistinguishable in their targeting, this next generation will see the two strategies separate, with "Xbox" attempting to enter the broad, mainstream media market while Sony centres PlayStation on games. From here on, Xbox and PlayStation are in different worlds. They are not doing the same thing.
This is true to the extent that 360 peripherals won't even work with Xbox One. Xbox 360 is old Xbox, and old Xbox is being dumped. None of your 360 games will work with the new box. Your current XBLA library will only work on 360. Xbox One is a completely new direction for Xbox as a video games brand, one that has captured millions of people with Friends lists and GamerScore and is now revealing true intentions and breaking for the general audience. Xbox 360 started as pure games and became saturated with media apps over time, much to the chagrin of an increasingly disenfranchised core. The dishonesty evaporated yesterday. Xbox One is the truth of Microsoft's ambition. There's no ulterior motive. This is it.
What surprises me is that certain quarters are throwing their arms up in shock. What did anybody expect it to be? Answer this question with complete honesty: what did you expect? Did you turn up expecting 720, the ultimate core gaming device? Did you expect Microsoft's entertainment strategy for the entire home to kick off with a pretend spaceman shooting an alien in the balls and everyone screaming "fuck" at 4K resolution? Did you expect insight into how Xbox is going to embrace bedroom development and fight for small-scale creativity? Did you expect the next-gen Xbox message to be about you?
Microsoft's E3 will show the games. Yesterday was about Xbox as a general entertainment brand, about Microsoft being honest about its designs on the general entertainment market. It was about showing two large pieces of hardware, dropping any pretense that it's "all about the games," and saying Microsoft, as a company, wants to control living room entertainment. It was about sticking a finger up to Apple. It was about binning 360 and going for gold.
What do I think? I think you'll be able to play Call of Duty on Xbox One just fine. As for the rest of it, ask me after LA.

This week I was working on the antenatal/postanatal ward along with a student midwife so I thought I would share a little about some of our tiny babies.
One of the reasons Mums have to stay on the ward for some time is when they have a very early or small baby who needs some TLC. I am not claiming that all early or small babies do well but I think many people would be very suprised at some of the things that are achieved here. While there are no neonatal units, paediatricians or neonatal equipment such as incubators there are some little miracle babies on the ward every week, making it through another day with us. Yesterday we had a couple which I thought I would share about.
The first was a baby weighing 1.28kg at birth, now almost returned to it's birthweight after losing a little weight, and the second 1.08kg at birth, now just 900g. They were 8 days and 6 days old. .These little ones always make me smile as they wear a nappy almost as big as them (as you can't get pre-term ones here) and are either tucked down their Mum's clothes or wrapped in so many blankets that you can hardly seee them. Both had needed some resuscitation at birth, but actually not very much and had adjusted to life outside the womb within a couple of minutes despite their small size. This is testimony in itself to the staff where I am working - when I attended a midwifery conference here in SL a few months ago with midwives from other hospitals and taught some of the neonatal resuscitation as groupwork I was shocked by their complete inability to even initiate basic newborn resucitation (opening an airway, giving initial breaths, maintaining breaths and cardiac compressions). I am sure our midwives are saving many babies through just being competent with basic newborn resuscitation skills - no they can't do everything, drugs wise we are limited and there is not any further support for babies in terms of ventilation or anything, but what they can do they do well.
Once they are born and in the days ahead our priorities are simple - keep them warm and keep them fed, prevent infection and observe them closely. We encourage kangaroo care, where babies are put next to their mother's skin and then both of them covered. This helps keep the babies nice and warm. When the Mum's need a break then we just wrap them well. The feeding is a little more complicated with these small babies, especially the early ones who are not able to breastfeed. We get the Mum's expressing milk and feed this to the babies either by nasal tube or by syringe and gradually increase the amount they take at each feed. The little ones usually need some IV fluids too initially (it is always a big challenge trying to get cannulas into babies that weigh less then 1kg and I was very happy that one of the other midwives bravely took this challenge and got it in first time with the little one yesterday!). There are no pumps here to help with giving fluids so it's back to what we learnt in nursing school many years ago - calculating how much fluid they need for their bodyweight per day, minus the milk they are having, making up the bag with a mixture of dextrose and saline, eventually working out how many drops per minute the drip needs to drip at. This bit becomes quite time consuming - partly because the drip rate often changes when the baby moves and partly probably because of my paranoia that we will overload one of these tiny babies with fluid if it drips too fast and we fail to notice.
Tiny babies don't always make it, but many, many do, and it really is just these simple things and some midwives who know what they are doing who are making it happen. It might not sound like much, but each time I go to work and see these tiny babies tucked down their Mum's gowns it is like seeing a miracle before my eyes and I love it.

[Skip to content]
13th August 2008
I had a great flight over the Macau, I caught a movie called 21 and also slept a lot of the way and with perfect timing woke up just as we were landing in Hong Kong.
We ended up being trapped in Hong Kong because of a typhoon, at first I thought "disaster" but it actually worked out quite well. We were put up in a hotel and I got a great night's sleep, I think it helped with my jet lag in some ways as it broke the travel up and I headed to the holding camp in Macau feeling fresh.
Pooling around
The holding camp in Macau was great, although we played the weather game every day not knowing if we would get time outside. I had one of my best ever training sessions there and also focused a lot of my time on weights and running.
In my spare time around the camp I like to chat to people rather than play computer games or listen to my Ipod. There was a bit of friendly rivalry around the pool table in the hotel, the "big dogs" of team GB being Tom (Lancashire), (Tom) Parsons, Andrew Steel, (Martyn) Rooney, Greg Rutherford and Craig (Pickering). I had too many victories to remember who and when but I do remember an epic loss to Christian Malcolm, it sticks in my mind because he got really lucky, he's normally rubbish!
I've only got good things to say about my time at the camp, the hotel and food were amazing. The BOA had things set up really well and everything went smoothly.
Next step…
I came over the Beijing a day ago and was pleasantly surprised with the weather. Not too muggy or smoggy, it was a relatively clear day.
The athlete's village is amazing. I'm staying in a flat made up of 3 rooms, mine's massive with an ensuite which is lucky as they aren't standard for everyone.
I'm sharing with Daniel Awde, which is cool because I don't know him very well. Rooming with someone new is a great opportunity to get to know guys on the team who you haven't competed with before. Also in my flat are Pickering, Scott, Parsons and Rutherford.
The team GB spirit is really good here as it was in Macau. There's a real buzz around the camp and obviously everyone is in high spirits.
I'm getting more and more excited, I'm glad to be at the next step of my Olympic journey by being in Beijing and am just focusing on the start of the athletics now. I have finished most of my training sessions now and am taking it easy as I'm pretty much ready for competition.
Hope you're enjoying the rest of the sporting action,
Speak soon,

We are focused in the those languages that are more used in the Americas, which are:
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese
We can translate in any direction from one to another, in any mix you can imagine. Most of our work has been to translate documents in English to Spanish, and given the large amount of Spanish-speakers this is not a surprise. We are increasingly receiving work to translate both English and Spanish to Portuguese, which is reasonable after the long period of sustained economic growth in Brazil.
We can also translate to and into French, the other big language in the region, but the truth is that we do it at a lesser extent. As a translation boutique, we are willing to meet our customer's requests through very careful and detailed assistance, so if you need translations in other languages don't be afraid to ask, we know several translators here and we are sure that we can deliver!

"Conflict was settled in a positive environment with low stress and anxiety."

"Divorce isn't easy and the collaborative process is hard work but it was so much less stressful and more positive [than the usual litigated divorce]. I felt proactive and like a real participant in the process. I was very happy with the outcome and always felt like my 'team' was truly concerned for my well being."
"The Collaborative Divorce process made it possible for me to voice my concerns and wishes."
"I chose this process because it seemed like a less disruptive and conflicting approach that had the potential for a better outcome."
"The process seems to work much better than the stories I hear from people doing a 'conventional' divorce."
"If you are having difficulty coming to terms with your divorce, this is a respectful way to work out your issues."

Apache Virtual Hosts
Apache Virtual Hosts
Apache is an open source web server that is currently dominating the market because of it's low cost (nothing) and ease of use and configuration. There is a large support database available from www.apache.org and the source is freely available from the same site. Apache also offers ease of use for Perl, PHP, JServ (Java Servlets) and CGI scripts.
There are two ways to do webhosting, IP Based Virtual Hosting which binds one IP address to a specific URL and Name-Based Virtual Hosting which allows multiple domain names to operate on one IP.
Hopefully, you have already realized that you need to have Apache installed before going any further. Click here if you need instructions on how to install Apache.
cd to the apache directory (/usr/local/apache).
There are several subdirectories (conf, bin, logs). Start in the conf directory. Edit the file httpd.conf using the command 'vi conf/httpd.conf'. If the vi editor is foreign to you, you can brush up on editor commands with the vi editor tutorial
There are 2 ways to run apache, IP based Virtual Hosting and Name-Based Virtual Hosting.
The NameVirtualHost directive
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.10:8080
REQUIRED for Name-based virtual hosting. (A * can be used to specify that the server is only doing Name-Based Virtual Hosting). The line above tells httpd to only run name based virtual hosts on 192.168.1.10 port 8080.
The following tells httpd to listen for name based virtual hosts on all interfaces
NameVirtualHost *
The BindAddress Directive
For IP Based hosting, you need to add each IP that apache will listen on.
BindAddress 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.25 10.0.0.1
NOTE: The IPs MUST be the IP bound to the interfaces, and IPs from multiple interfaces can be used. (A * can be used for all IPs on a given machine)
This works the same for IP and name based virtual hosting, with the exception of the ServerName and ServerAlias being absent with IP Based Virtual Hosting
#The following VirtualHost directive will answer for domain.com and *.domain.com (* being a wildcard)
ServerAdmin email@example.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/www
ErrorLog logs/domain.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/domain.com-access_log
ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" /home/user/www/cgi-bin
# This Virtual Host will answer for circle.com, square.com and triangle.com. It *WILL NOT* answer for www.circle.com, www.square.com or www.triangle.com.
ServerAdmin email@example.com
ServerName circle.com
ServerAlias square.com
ServerAlias triangle.com
ErrorLog logs/circle.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/circle.com-access_log

What up and coming African artists can learn from Mo'hits & The Split!
The band, group or label break-up isn't unheard of in the music biz. It's a business rife with uncertainty and drastic changes. I'm well versed with the Destiny's Child line-up changes, the inter-camp domestics, the back and forth media rebuttals, the drama – like any relationship, things go wrong.
So while the relationship between the two men at the helm of Africa's finest African-owned label, Mo'hits Records – Michael Collins a.k.a Don Jazzy, the founder, and D'Banj, the label's first signed artist as well as its Vice President – may now be at an end, it's not earth-shattering news. It happens.
Nonetheless, their 8-year relationship seemed so perfect and fruitful that the reaction to mere rumours of the split was widespread disbelief, and Don Jazzy had to take to Twitter to clear things up: "It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of a long era and the beginning of a new one".
So what does this mean for the recent signing of the label to Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music? We'll have to wait and see. Everyone knows that egos are usually involved such break-ups, so it won't surprise you to learn that rumours of an ego clash between the two are floating around, rumours relating to the aforementioned signing with G.O.O.D. Both guys are making international moves, but Don Jazzy is the one with vocal and production credits on hip-hop's most anticipated album of 2011, Watch The Throne, for Lift Off, a song featuring Beyoncé.
I'm not too concerned about what caused the split, the 'exclusive interviews', the division of the camp, the speculation and personal details. People who care about who takes which rides and who keeps the bling can monitor the gossip blogs all day long if they have the time. Music history has shown that the end of one thing often means a breath of life for another. And when Don Jazzy writes that, '…to end [the] old era, I will be donating the proceeds of my production catalogue from day one till date to five charity organizations,' it's reasonable to assume he isn't at a loss for what to do next.
D'Banj will be fine too. The man is larger than life, he is animated, charismatic and his presence is that of a true performer. The first time I saw him perform, I saw the way he commanded his audience's attention. That type of engagement is a combination of natural talent and a well-executed plan. He embodied the combination of fearlessness and hard work that you find with most popular artists. Worth mentioning though that any artist worth his salt is the product of more than one mind.
What you see on stage and hear on an album are a mix of what that performer has to offer and translations of suggestions and instructions given to them by many key people. Dance like this, sing these words, wear these clothes, be this person. In the print of production credits are many names that never grace the limelight, and not everyone will remain happy with that forever.
Don Jazzy has a lot to do with structure; he knows music and he makes damn good music, but he's also behind the scenes cutting deals – a businessman with talent. Something about him reminds me of Diddy. I'm not making a talent comparison, but there are similarities in the way that he handles the role.
Diddy's Russell Simmons influence is very apparent in the way he handles the business side of the industry, but at the same time he's not just a 'suit', he want to be in the videos and get a couple of bars on a track. When the guy holding the money also wants to shine, relationships get affected.
Diddy and Russell Simmons
Too much noise without substance in the African urban music business
There is a lot of 'I' in the African music industry, which suggests the people in it haven't yet fully acknowledged the importance of a strong team. There may not be enough money to spread around but any real business needs investment. It needs an artist to get the right producers (not the cheapest ones), to work with good songwriters, to have a team of credible assets (not one full of homies).
Despite what may have happened between Don Jazzy and D'Banj, they have done something significant for the African music industry.
Long before the collaboration with G.O.O.D they were selling out concerts in Nigeria, they were raising the bar for big budget, high quality music videos, they were selling merchandise as well as music, they were performing all over Africa and in Europe, and they did all of this without compromising being African.
There are a lot of up and coming artists that are so bent on a life of fame and success they overlooked the necessity of actual work and a solid plan. They start trying to live the life before doing the work, surrounding themselves with hype-men who just want to ride VIP. This is one of the reasons there's so much uninspired amateur music being churned out.
But Mo'Hits was an example of how to do things properly. They did their homework and developed things from the ground up. What you see and hear is merely the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, K Switch and other Mo'Hits Allstars are a product of a well thought through production chain, one that turns out solid music that reflects great attention to detail. This is why they kept producing music worth listening to, and why they were always worth paying to see. You need a lot more besides talent.
The Mo' hits team
And then you have labels like Rockstar4000 in conjunction with Sony Music signing African artists without any apparent interest in their development. People hear the Sony name and think this is something grand.
They start fantasizing about the envy they can evoke with the words "I'm with Sony." But being on a dormant digital distribution roster of Africa's 'best' is not something to aspire to – it might be useful but it's not all there is. Why sit on the bench for a "major" label when you can be in the game on a co-owned independent interested in your organic development? Make a structure, own your ideas and make genuine music. Then you'll have something to brag about, and who knows, maybe you too will end up fighting over some real money.

LAST WEEKEND: NHRA King of the Track Results
JOLIET, Ill. – Aug. 3, 2013 – John Coyle's 13-year quest to win a Wally has finally paid off. Coyle's second race win of the season came at an opportune time at the annual NHRA Summit Racing King of the Track at Route 66 Raceway. Coyle won a combined total of 9-rounds of eliminations en route to winning a coveted Wally – the first of his career.
Before winning King of the Track, Coyle had to outlast the rest of the Pro ET field. Coyle's final round competition was against his fellow hometown racer, Herman Zehnder from Tinley Park, Ill. The classic Ford versus Chevy matchup was decided at the starting line as Coyle used a .011 reaction time in his '99 Camaro and ran 9.558 at 138.43 mph to Zehnder's 10.270 at 130.02 mph. Coyle's win propelled him to the points lead over second-place Zehnder with only two races remaining in the 2013 Rockett Brand Racing Fuel ET Bracket Series.
In a class heavily populated by dragsters, the full-bodied door cars reigned supreme in Super Pro. Jim Taylor of Morris, Ill. drove his '72 Vega to the race win over John Braasch's '85 Camaro. Taylor ran 9.288 at 143.52 mph while Braasch ran 8.911 at 152.09 mph. Taylor's .007 reaction time and nearly dead-on 9.28 dial-in made for a run that was only .015 of a second from perfect. Taylor and Braasch's final round performances placed them both in the top ten in points, currently eighth and ninth, respectively.
Pro Bike regulars had their hands full defending the predominantly two-wheel category from the influx of snow mobiles in competition. Ultimately, Mike Bostic would wheel his '06 Kawasaki to the race win over the '98 Suzuki of Tom Florey. Bostic, of Valparaiso, Ind., ran 9.192 at 139.01 mph while Florey ran 9.112 at 144.09 mph. Bostic would go on to eliminate Jim Taylor's Super Pro entry in the opening round of the King of the Track and advance to the final around against eventual champion, John Coyle.
The Lyons family enjoyed another double-up weekend at Route 66 Raceway, as Tony Lyons won Sportsman while son David took top honors in High School. The father-son duo now top the point standings in their respective categories.
Tony Lyons faced stiff competition in the Sportsman final against the '72 Chevelle of two-time track champion, Paul O'Keefe. Lyons' '89 Ford ran 12.103 at 107.52 mph to O'Keefe's 12.494 at 105.92 mph.
David Lyons extended his High School points lead with his final round win over Michael Quick. Lyons' '92 Ranger ran 15.571 at 81.91 mph against Quick's '10 Chevrolet that ran 16.033 at 86.81 mph.

Vic Reeves Big Night Out (Channel 4, 1990-1991)
When Vic Reeves Big Night Out launched in 1990, the cover of NME said "you don't know this yet but Vic Reeves is Britain's funniest man", and although it might have been something of a risk to put him on the cover, Reeves went from a virtual unknown to a big comedy star by the end of the show's run as the self-styled "Britain's top light entertainer and singer" brought his terrifically daft stage show to TV.
Although he didn't get equal billing at the time, Bob Mortimer did appear in the show regularly alongside Reeves, and he would often fall. Also taking part was Vic's assistant Les. He was someone who didn't have much to say for himself and he had an unusual fear of chives, but he was much fonder of spirit levels. Beyond this there were a big range of memorable characters who appeared in the show, and also several daft catchphrases which endured. One of my favourites has to be "ooh, would you look at the size of that sausage!". I suppose you had to be there.
Other features included Novelty Island where not very talented acts would do their turn including the very irritating Graham who Vic didn't like and Mr Wobbly Hand (another future comedy star Paul Whitehouse sometimes appeared in this segment). There were also the Stott brothers, Judge Nutmeg, the living carpets and the man with the stick who would all become big viewer favourites. Vic would also finish every edition however chaotic things became with the song "Mr Songwriter".
Some people consider the DVD release of Big Night Out to be a little disappointing, the 1990 New Year's Eve special isn't included, and the sketches going in and out of where the advert break would have been are edited out, although there is a new interview with Vic and Bob, and overall a lot of people still think that this show was one of the best comedies of its era. Big Night Out was a great success, it a ran for two series and was still being repeated on Channel 4 in the late-90s, and there was also a spin-off book released called Vic Reeves Big Night In and a very successful stage tour.
Vic and Bob's fame escalated very quickly and they were soon appearing on TV frequently, including adverts for Cadbury's Boost where were we informed "it's slightly rippled with a flat underside", and they were poached by BBC2 to appear in more crazy comedy shows including Shooting Stars. Vic also went on to have some hit singles which led to some lovely Top Of The Pops performances, including in 1991 a chart-topping cover of "Dizzy" alongside The Wonder Stuff. Now how many other comedians can say that they have achieved that.

Beginner Clubs Advice Please…
cybergambit posted a topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, FittingHi everyone, I would regard myself as a beginner in that I have hit a lot of balls on the range (competently) but have only really played a dozen or so rounds of golf. I wanted to upgrade my extremely basic set of irons and wanted advice between two sets for someone of my level. The choice is between a set of Adam's XTD clubs (2014, black metal, non-tour) or a set of Callaway Big Bertha (2008, Red coloured heads). Any advice would be Really appreciated please. Thanks

Starter Set of Clubs
BoaterSnips posted a topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, FittingI've golfed since I was a kid but always used someone elses clubs... I'm not 25 Active Duty military and want to golf this summer but don't have the $1000+ to get a nice full set. So I'm looking at used options or all in one sets. Anyone have suggestions on good sets or places to look for used ones? I am currently in Alaska so local places are far and few. I am about 5'10" 180lbs (idk if this helps). My main concern with a complete set is all I really need to last/be good for me is the irons as I know down the road I'll end up getting more woods first. Thanks in advance!

Should I Get New or Different Irons?
Dylan_96 posted a topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, FittingI am a high handicapper shooting in the mid 90's and have been using a set of Cleveland 588 cb irons for about 6 years(7-pw project-x stiff shafts). I have been a very casual player but recently decided I wanted to get serious about golf. My question is should I invest in a set of used "game improvement irons" ? I feel like my current irons are unforgiving although it may be my lack of practice and poor swing. Would the benefit be worth changing to something like the TaylorMade m2's or similar clubs? Or should I just invest the money on lessons and learn to use my Cleveland 588 cb irons?
So You Joined TST and Posted a Member Swing Thread…
iacas posted a topic in Member SwingsSo you've joined the site and posted a thread in the Member Swings forum , eh? Good for you! And if nobody's said it yet, welcome to The Sand Trap! This post will list a few quick things intended to help you make the most of the free advice you'll receive in your "My Swing" thread. Details First, if you haven't already, provide as much detail as possible. Share detail about your recent history, any past lessons you've had, any physical limitations you may have, the works. The more detailed information you can give us, the better. Honesty is the Best Policy Your handicap - and your skill level - are what they are. There's absolutely no need to fib to some strangers on the Internet about them. If you have trouble hitting the ball solidly, and you're a 19 handicapper, you won't be helping yourself to say that you're an 11 who just fades the ball a bit more than you'd like. Be honest with yourself, and be honest with others. Post Elsewhere and Mind Your Camera Angles These are mentioned in the "Rules" thread linked at the top of the Member Swings forum, but they bear repeating here as well. First, please mind your camera angles. This article explains where to set up your camera for filming your golf swing. Good camera angles help people diagnose things more readily and more accurately. Also, post somewhere else. We understand if the ability to get a "free" analysis of sorts is what drew you to the site, but there are a LOT more other threads in which you can post, share your opinions, tell us about yourself, etc. The upside for you? The more friendly you are, and the more people get to know you, the more they'll want to help you out. Several of our long-time members have a "following" in their "My Swing" threads with people cheering them on, helping them out, and watching their progress. You get more help from people who consider you a "friend" than someone who just showed up and wants some free tips. Multiple "Tips" and Prioritization So you've posted, and gotten lots of tips from people. It's no secret that Mike ( @mvmac ) and myself (Erik, @iacas ) are instructors. I'm even the guy that trains instructors, including Mike, in a system we call "5 Simple Keys®." 5SK is not a "one-swing" method, but rather focuses on the five commonalities of the game's best players. You can read more about that here . The point of that is that we don't teach "one swing" to anyone here, but feel fairly strongly that any swing advice you get should pretty much help with one of five keys. That doesn't mean the person has to say "this will help with Key #2" or even talk about 5SK at all. What this really gets down to is prioritization. It's almost impossible to try to work on several things at once. Even working on two or three things at once is virtually impossible. So we recommend that you use 5SK as a sort of "template" for guiding you towards proper prioritization. - If you struggle most hitting the ball solidly every time you swing: look at tips that speak to Keys #1-#3. - If you struggle with controlling the flight of your golf ball, but strike it solidly all the time: look at tips that speak to Keys #4 and #5. Your job? Once you've got some feedback, it's to assess the biggest problems in your game against the tips and advice you receive, then, choose only one priority item on which to work. Sometimes it's as easy as doing what the majority of people see. Sometimes you have to apply your history and understanding to choose your priority item. Sometimes your priority will be whatever the person you trust most says it is. Whatever your reasoning, try to find a single priority item, post that you're going to work on that, and let others know. Then… Work on It The best advice in the world is wasted if you don't apply it. So, once you've found your priority, work on it. What do we mean by that? Well, we don't mean to just take the tip to the range or your next round of golf and "try it out" while making full swings or keeping score. What does "work on it" really mean? Basically, it means that you should apply the 5 "S"s of Effective Practice: (this is unrelated to 5SK). Follow Up! A fellow member gives you advice. You use his advice, practice properly, and shave three strokes off your game or eliminate your slice. Unless you update your thread, the other member might never know they helped you, so update your thread and thank the guy who helped you out! Heck, update the thread while you're working on it too. Use it as a journal for the feels and videos of your practice. Post regularly. You'll continue to get more and more feedback, and more and more tips. People will begin to "follow along" with your journey towards improvement. All of these tips above are designed to help YOU get the most out of YOUR "My Swing" thread. Again, welcome to The Sand Trap .com (TST), and be sure to check out our blog , our equipment and courses sections, and of course the many other threads available for comment and chit-chat and so on in our forum .

My Swing (BuckeyePete77)
BuckeyePete77 posted a topic in Member SwingsI normally hit all my shots straight. I would like to be able to hit a draw when I want to hit it but so far no luck. I practice in a field next to my house and with foam golf balls I can hit a big high draw. I had not played in thirty years but after my left knee replacement my nephew talked me into playing again and I'm hooked. Any help y'all can give will be appreciated. I also finish high like in the video. Thank you in advance. I normally shot 80-86. I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year after being away for 30 years. My current handicap index or average score is: 11.5 My typical ball flight is: straight or a straight pull left The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull left or the occasional right. I usually hit the ball straight which is great but not always good when trying to setup on certain holes. Then I will slice right at times. I can hit nice draws with irons when practicing with foam golf balls but does not translate to the course. I would love to be able to hit a small draw with real golf balls. I got a tiny draw with this shot but mostly hit my drives and irons straight. I always finish my swing high as well. Thanks for you help and advice. Videos
My Swing (alexkirbyeditor)
alexkirbyeditor posted a topic in Member SwingsHello guys, I'm starting to play golf again after six years of not swinging a club. Lessons with a pro is something I will be looking into but, in the meantime, wondered if I could ask for some thoughts from this forum? Below is an embedded video of my swing. It's the first time I've been to the driving range in a very long time... I think the basics are still there but I've lost all knowledge of how to self-analyse so any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm 29, around 90kg and used to play off 12 (although, as I said, that was some years ago now). I hit around 250 yards with a driver and have always struggled with a slice. However, I have noticed that my swing has changed since I last played, probably due to me being a lot heavier now. Thanks in advance, Kirby Videos:

Kor posted a topic in Member SwingsHi all, Was hoping I could get some advice/thoughts. Been playing almost 2 years (17 handicap).. I always seem to hit a wall though with all irons and go through a couple months of consistent shanks / mis hits. (Without exaggerating its like I am a beginner again) Going by the video i feel the error comes during my backswing - head and body come forward causing a shank. Any other tips/thoughts welcome! Why does this happen and how can I eliminate this and return to consistent golf!? Thanks Kor I've been Playing Golf for: 20 months My current handicap index or average score is: 17 My typical ball flight is: high The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: shank or shot across the ground Videos: [Delete this, Embed Videos Here]
So for some back story I had played a little golf here and there up until januaty 2016, it was my junior years golf season start and I wanted to be good. I was a 100s golfer in 2015 and these were my 2016 results thus far 101, 98, 95, 93, 93, 90, 87, 91, 85 each new score is one week later and new tournament. I have started practicing everyday and now work at a golf course and have improved vastly (partly thanks to my swing coach Mark Gray I highly recommend his website www.theprozone.net) as of today my handicap calculated from April 25th to may 22nd is - 7.4, today I played 9 holes and was only 2 over. I plan to keep practicing every day this summer and am playing on the STPGA Junior Tour and the Beltway Jr Golf Tour, I will update yall with each tournament. I hope to earn a spot on a college team, scholarship or not, and eventually move up to a bigger school. I want to either be a tour pro/pro am player or a PGA caddie. I hit about 50% greens in regulation and 80% fairways and these numbers are growing higher every time I play. I can make all 10ft> putts basically and many 15ft and some 20ft. I have basically dropped 20+ strokes in 5 months and am only getting more into golf daily. Any advice, tips, recommendations, etc. Are appreciated! PS I'm 17, going into my senior year, and live in the Austin Texas metropolitan (between Driftwood and westlake).
