Bienvenue! My name is Jamie and I like golf. I grew up playing tennis in eastern Massachusetts, but fell in love with the game after watching Se Ri Pak defeat Jenny Chausiriporn at the 1998 U.S. Womens Open. I studied Hospitality & Tourism Management (with a focus on Event, Tourism, and Convention Management) at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts Amherst. Tennis is my first love, but golf is a very close second. I believe style should equal substance, and the latter is nothing without the former.
"you can't make harmony, when everyone is singing the same note."
In a dramatic finish, Na Yeon Choi captured her first wire-to-wire victory outlasting Christina Kim, In-Kyung Kim, & Song-Hee Kim in a 2 hole playoff to capture the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic presented by Kroger. Choi was the only player to get a birdie during the playoff doing so on the par-5 17th hole. "The Big Apple" gets her first victory of 2010, but it certainly wasn't easy.
World #3 Jiyai Shin's recovery from an emergency appendectomy seem to be going well, she posted a scoring 7-under 64 to post 13-under. When Shin finished she was two behind NYC who held the lead at 15-under. Song-Hee Kim was a stroke behind that at 14-under, while Christina Kim was struggling a bit and was back at 12-under.
In the closing 5-holes it appeared none of the ladies wanted to take home the title. Choi, who was in control at this point, would bogey the 14th and 15th holes to drop back to Shin's number at 13-under. Her near collapse at last year's Samsung World Championship (which I talked about yesterday, and last fall) showed us that while wilting, she'd still be there to walk through the door if it was left open, and boy did these ladies leave it open.
In-Kyung Kim birdied her final hole to leapfrog Jiyai Shin and become the new clubhouse leader at 14-under.
Song-Hee Kim was at 14-under also before she herself bogeyed the the 16th hole. She would bounce back with a birdie on the 17th to also post at 14-under.
Christina Kim was still recovering a rough double bogey she suffered on the 10th hole, despite immediately following that double with three consecutive birdies. She parred 14-16 to be tied with Na Yeon Choi at 13-under. She took advantage of the par 5 17th, and got herself up with Inky and Song-Hee at 14-under going into Christina & NYC's final hole.
Going into the par 5 8th Kim & NYC both needed birdies. Christina's would give her the outright victory. Choi's would get her into the playoff. It was up to Christina to shut the door on Na Yeon, but she was unable to do it. She chipped to 10 feet, and had that left to claim her first victory in 5 years. She didn't get it. NYC did sink her birdie putt, and we were set for a four way playoff.
In a great display of golf, all four ladies were on the green in 3 on the 1st playoff hole (they replayed the par 5 18th). Not only were they on the green, but they were all within 12 feet.
Choi's 12 footer was 1st, but she missed.
Inky had a 10 footer, but she failed to convert.
Christina Kim had just 7 feet, but again was unable to hole her birdie.
The tournament was now in Song-Hee Kim's hands. She was 5 feet away from the maiden LPGA victory we were all expecting from her. With 15 top 10s in her last 18 events, it certainly felt like this was her time. I wholeheartedly believed that the next tweet from LPGA would be one saying that S-H finally got her first victory.
It seemed to deflate Song-Hee who found the bunker with her 3rd shot on the par-5 17th on the 2nd playoff hole, and wasn't down after 5 shots.
Choi chipped to 3-feet, and had a near gimme for her birdie on the 2nd playoff hole. There were two players left who could shut the proverbial door.
Christina Kim had two makeable chances in a row the past two holes, and again was unable to birdie. Her 20-footer failed to connect.
In-Kyung Kim was the only person left in the Big Apple's way. 12 feet away to put pressure on her compatriot. She couldn't do it.
NYC sunk her 3-footer and finally put an end to it. She walked back through the door she opened to the field.
What a disappointment for Christina Kim & Song-Hee Kim. This was Christina's first top 10 of the season, and she had a chance to win it in regulation. Hopefully she'll remember all the good things that got her to the playoff and not the putt she missed.
Song-Hee Kim gets another top 10 finish, and is still the best player on tour without a win. This was the first time she truly had the tournament in her hands, and her failure could do very bad things mentally. It'll be interesting to see how she bounces back next week at Oakmont.
In-Kyung's brilliant 64 should hopefully bring her season back into the positive after a mediocre start. She played amazing to get into the playoff, but never had the upper hand in the day's proceedings.
Na Yeon Choi again showed that she's not quite comfortable with the lead, but miraculously again she found a way to take the title anyway.
It's a shame that such an exciting finish was not televised. Thankfully the LPGA had constant updates to get us through this exciting finish.
When Cristie Kerr became the new #1 ranked golfer in the world last week, the common theme amongst the media was the potential resurgence of American Ladies Golf. Kerr has been a consistent top 5/10 player, and it was no real shock that the she is leading the charge of Americans this year.
When journalists and bloggers alike delved deeper into the American talent they began to throw out names of other Americans who could potentially make an impact for the good of the LPGA.
Paula Creamer immediately came to mind, along with fellow top American pros Morgan Pressel and Angela Stanford. Again, no shock here as these players are some of the highest ranked and most popular girls on tour.
Missing from the conversation was former major champion Brittany Linicome. If the big hitting blonde was going to be missing from the chatter, then it's certainly no surprise that there was no mention to the spunky Californian Christina Kim. Well CK is looking to get her name back in the mix in a big way this week.
She is only one back of Na Yeon Choi playing her best golf of 2010 by far. Kim has struggled in a big way in 2010, her best finish is a T24 way back in March at the Kia Classic presented by J Golf. Kim's 3 rounds in the 60s so far this week matches the number of rounds in the 60s she's had so far in 2010.
Kim hasn't won on the LPGA in 5 years. If she can do it this week it could really capitalize on the momentum of American golf going into the biggest event of the year next week, the U.S. Women's Open.
With the LPGA in a big transition period, many casual fans are not warming up to a leaderboard crowded with talented Koreans and other foreign born players. A win by Kim or one of the other Americans in the hunt (Kristy McPhereson is 4 back, and Stacy Prammanasudh is 6 back) could continue the momentum that Kerr gave us last week, which would be just in time as we head into the biggest event on the LPGA next week, the U.S. Women's Open.
That would be a sweet 4th of July for the LPGA. Although having television coverage of this event would certainly make this sweeter.
Last week I scanned the leadearboard of the LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans and did a double take when I didn't see Na Yeon Choi's name among the top 20. Using my trusty command + f, tool I typed her name to find her below the cut line for the first time in her career.
I have a lot of faith in Na Yeon Choi's game, so much so that I picked her to finish #1 on this year's money list. Choi has been solid in 2010 (as always) sitting at #10 on the money list with over $341,000 in earnings over the year, but that's a far cry from the top of the list (#1 & #2 Ai Miyazato and Cristie Kerr have nearly tripled her earnings), but she's looking to close the gap this week at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic presented by Kroger.
Choi enters the final round with a one shot lead over Christina Kim, and is looking to post her first ever wire-to-wire victory. A victory this week could prove momentous for NYC. Choi captured her first victory last year at the super exclusive Samsung World Championship, but it wasn't easy. Choi held a whopping 7-stroke lead with 12 strokes to play, before seeing it deflate completely by the time she arrived on the last whole. A two shot swing (a birdie for Choi, with Ai Miyazato's earlier bogey) on the 18th hole gave her first title, but it was certainly more of a barely hung on moment, then a cruise to the title victory we thought she was getting.
She showed a lot of gutso in her 2nd victory on tour, matching Yani Tseng's birdie on the final hole to capture victory by one stroke and avoiding a three way playoff with Maria Hjorth. So, she's certainly brushed off the nerves that almost saw her blow her maiden victory. Let's see if she continue to hold her nerve tomorrow.
When Anna Nordqvist calmly shot a 68 during the final round of the McDonald's LPGA Championship to capture her first title (and obviously first major), they were a slew of questions that opened up. The biggest of all being, who is this unknown Swede, is she the next Annika, or is this a fluke?
On another important final round Nordqvist shined brightest shooting a 7-under par round of 65 to capture her 2nd title in her rookie season. To capture two titles in a year and to have them be the McDonald's LPGA Championship & the LPGA Tour Championship is pretty impressive for anyone, especially an unheralded rookie! Anna utilized 8 birdies and a lone bogey to win two strokes up on World #1 Lorena Ochoa.
By finishing runner up today, and having points leader Jiyai Shin finish T8 Ochoa was able to capture her 4th Rolex Player of the Year title & Vare Trophy. In heartbreaking fashion Shin bogeyed the 17th hole to lose to Lorena by a mere point in the final point tally. Thus Jiyai couldn't join Nancy Lopez as the only players to capture all four major titles in their rookie season, but being the Money List leader & Rookie of the Year is nothing to be scoffed at.
Na Yeon Choi took third place after shooting the round of the day, an 8-under 68 that left her 3 back of Anna. An eagle, 7 birdies (4 of them in the first four holes!) and a lone bogey should keep NYC's spirits up going into 2010. With Choi's clearly added confidence from gaining her first win, she could be someone to watch in the Player of the Year race for 2010.
Heather Bowie Young & Reilley Rankin were both unable to jump into the top 80 after Monday's round. Bowie Young did herself proud with a season best T12, but it left her two spots outside of the top 80 at 82. Rankin struggled mightily on Monday dropping to T42 after she lead for some of the 2nd round. Rankin maintained her spot at #100 giving her some status for 2010, but certainly not what she was looking for when she started her rounds on Monday.
The cruel fate of #81 fell upon Moira Dunn who finished just under 2K behind #80 Irene Cho. While former tour winner Joo Mi Kim will be officially returning to Q-School as she finished at #101 a little under 5K behind Reilley Rankin.
Former Big Breakers Jeannie Cho-Hunicke & Kim Welch get the dubious distinction of finishing in the bottom of the money list in 2009 at 159 & 160, making $2,647 & $2,171 respectively.
In 2008 Na Yeon Choi went winless, but still put up a valiant fight in the Rookie of the Year eventually won by LPGA Championship winner Yani Tseng. Yani, would go on to struggle to win her second event not doing so until earlier this year when Soo Yun Kang choked on the 18th hole at the LPGA Corning Classic. In a sharp contrast Na Yeon Choi finally broke through at the star studded Samsung World Championship this fall (despite a three bogey in a row stretch). The wait for NYC's second win was not as long awaited as Miss Tseng, Choi broke through a few tournaments in Korea.
Now, at the conclusion of the season Choi has an opportunity to join Jiyai Shin & Lorena Ochoa as the only three time winners in 2009. She is currently 7-under on her day and 9-under overall, tied for the lead with American Kristy McPherson. Kristy, a Big Break Alum, is seeking to join Na Yeon Choi as a Rolex First Time Winner in 2009. Choi has an eagle, 6 birdies, and one bogey through her first 13 holes, while Kristy McPherson has only managed one birdie and eight pars through her first 9.
Jiyai Shin who is currently coming up lame in the final round (+1, through 9) is three back of Choi and McPherson. You've gotta believe that if Shin can keep her spot in the top 10 she'll be rooting for Choi or McPherson to claim victory this week to secure her first Player of the Year title. Her only rival, World #1 Lorena Ochoa is one stroke behind the leaders at -8 through 9 holes.
Needless to say, I wish I wasn't at work so I could bask in the excitement of this final round. This is looking to be an exciting finish!
World #1 Lorena Ochoa has put herself in prime position after the opening round of the inaugural ADT-less LPGA Tour Championship after a 6-under 66. Ochoa who can clinch her 4th Rolex Player of the Year with a win this week. Ochoa's current 3-win season is mediocre for her standards (she hasn't won less then 6 times since 2005), but despite this she along with Jiyai Shin have had the most victories in 2009 on the LPGA tour.
Ochoa has had bouts of lackluster play this summer, and was a non-factor at the history making, Wie's first win, Lorena Ochoa Invitational last week. Lorena's opening round had 8 birdies and two bogeys and leads Reilley Rankin by one stroke. Rankin is looking for a strong finish this week as she is sitting in a precarious 100th spot on the LPGA Money list for 2009.
Although Jiyai Shin was unable to live up to her 'Final Round Queen' nickname last week, I wouldn't conclude that her 4 stroke deficit to Ochoa is too much to handle. Let us not forget that Jiayi was able to hold up to the pressure on the KLPGA in 2008, and swept all three major championships under intense pressure and scrutiny.
With 23 players at T9 or better including 2009 winners, Ochoa, Shin, Yani Tseng, Pat Hurst, Anna Nordqvist, Ji Young Oh, Na Yeon Choi, Brittany Linicome, Sophie and Gustafson the LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex should be an exciting affair.
Michelle Wie withdrew after an even par-72 citing her sprained ankle as a cause. Due to her withdrawal the LPGA will have gone through 2009 without a back-to-back winner, which is a testament to the depth of the tour.
Other 2009 tour winners Eunjung Yi & Catriona Matthew were not able to rise to the occasion shooting 77s putting them outside the top 100 in the season ending event. Tour winners and two of my favorites Christina Kim & Seon Hwa Lee are two strokes away from DFL after posting disappointing 79s, which all but ruin their chances to gain their first and only win of 2009.
Some argued that having the player revolt/ousting of Carolyn Bivens occur during one of the LPGA's major championship was a bad thing, in my eyes it always seemed like the right time to have controversy. Have it during your tour's biggest events, so, even if they are tuning it because of the Commissioner drama, they will be able to witness your tour's best and brightest playing in one of their biggest events of the year.
This is why making an announcement tomorrow, on the eve of the Hana Bank * Kolon Championship 2009 seems a bit silly indeed. The event is in Korea, ie the tour's elite are all in Korea (including current acting commissioner Marty Evans), and it's not going to be televised in the United States. For a tour that's screaming and needing more attention in it's home country, making the announcement now, rather then during the LPGA Tour Championship a televised home event, is baffling.
It's not as if Michael Whan will be beginning his tenure right away anyway. Marty Evans will be holding down the fort for the remainder of the season with Mr. Whan taking the lead beginning in January.
The LPGA jumped the gun on this one, timing could've given the LPGA Tour Championship some pretty big buzz.
Golfweek Magazine and Golf Digest are reporting that Michael Whan will be announced as the new LPGA commissioner at a special meeting in NYC on Wednesday morning.
See Golfweek's report here.
Whan is a former executive at Taylor Made Adidas, and was recently a CEO of Mission-ITECH hockey.
More reports are coming out, but hopefully we'll get a bigger look of it tomorrow morning.
Whan was not a name on the radar as a likely choice for the new LPGA commissioner, and hopefully he'll prove overly fruitful for the LPGA economically and beyond. In the few short months acting commissioner Marty Evans was at the helm, she has added events back to the 2010 schedule, and secured a title sponsor for the LPGA Tour championship.
The role of LPGA commissioner has been a hot topic after a "player revolt" caused Bivens to step down during the spring.
There is no doubt that web media and web content is a very important thing, and when it comes to the LPGA, there's skills are a bit lacking. Although their website design and layout are simple, and it's relatively easy to navigate, there are so many things wrong and inconsistent, that it's really an embarrassment. 5-6 years ago when they had the atrocious purple website I may have given them a pass, but right now in 2010, it's time to step it up.
When Na Ri Kim got herself into contention last week, I noticed one big gaffe. She was listed as Priority List Category: R, aka retired! There are a lot of oddities within the player profiles, plus there's not a lot of information on these particular pages anyway. Questions like why is Angie Oberholser still listed (as non-exempt too, how archaic), is really just one of many you'll have if you peruse these profiles.
There stat pages could really be overhauled, and I would love to see cooler stats included. It was much talked about earlier in the year how the stats from the international events were not included, and how it skewed all the overall stats. In this day and age, that is really uncalled for!
Mistakes within live scoring happen every week. I already harped on about that, so I'll move on. Was finally fixed though!
I'd also love to see better stats, like Golf Observer's weekly tournament stats, or something like how many time's players have started the final round in the lead, and their result. Things like that.
Let's go LPGA, let's step our games up.
Lorena Ochoa's tepid play allowed Sophie Gustafson to coast to victory at the CVS/pharmacy Challenge. Gustafson shot a final round 68 or 69, to best her 3rd round co-leader Ochoa by three or four strokes. A duo of South Koreans Sun Young Yoo & rookie Amy Yang finished solidly for third place.
The shootout between Sophie & Lorena never came to fruition on Sunday. Gustafson started very quickly going 4-under through her first 5 holes on the day, including an eagle on the par-5 5th hole. The 5th was the site of Lorena's first birdie of the day, to cut Sophie's lead to 3 going into the 6th hole. Gustafson, perhaps letting the thought of running away with it get to her, would bogey holes 6 and 8 to open the door for Lorena. Lorena however would not seize any of her opportunities on this Sunday, as she parred through until bogeying the 8th. After sharing birdies on 9th hole Sophie continued to lead the tournament, now by two shots.
A couple groups ahead 2009 rookie Amy Yang was having a birdie bonanza. Birdies at holes 1 and 3 were followed by four in a row in holes 5 through 8 to finish a front nine 31. She continued her run on the back by birding the 10th, to jump to -15 for the tournament, 7-under for the day.
So, as the final group made the turn, you have Sophie Gustafson, possibly battling nerves to capture her first victory in 6 years. Would she falter feeling the pressure? Would the #1 ranked player in the world find that winning form that we've seen from her? Could Ochoa string off some birdies to put some pressure on her playing partner to steal victory away, and shine the LPGA spotlight back to her? Or would the unknown South Korean, who has found much more success on the LET and in Australia be able to keep the birdies coming, and completely steal the show? Sounds like a pretty exciting back nine, right?
Well, it wasn't. I really expected Ochoa to start finding her game, and take this out of Sophie's hand. Unfortunately Ochoa did nothing on holes 10-14, parring them, and then finally did something on the 15th. Unfortunately for her that something was bogey. Gustafson herself wasn't running away with it, but wasn't letting anything go either. She birdied the 13th, as the only mark on her scorecard in that stretch. Amy Yang wasn't able to find another birdie for the rest of her round after her 10th, and ended up bogeying the 15th hole leading to a final round 7-under 65, Yang's first top 10 finish of the year.
Ochoa's birdie on the 16th got her to -17, but it was too little too late. Her bogey on the 18th hole really punctuated a frustrating day for the #1 player, as you never want to shoot a tepid 72 on Sunday. Gustafson may or may not have bogeyed the 18th hole, but it was irrelevant, she claimed a 3 or 4 shot victory.
The only player to light it up on the back nine was Sun Young Yoo. She was even par on her day through 10 holes, but birdied the 11th, and holes 15-17, to finish with a 68, good to tie Amy Yang for third at -14. This is Yoo's second straight top 10 finish after losing in a playoff in Arkansas two weeks ago.
Lorena Ochoa must be kicking herself for really not being able to put any pressure on Sophie on the back nine. This is very similar to her result from last week, when coming into the weekend T3, she shot 72-71, and was unable to contend. This week she did better on Saturday, but really didn't do anything remotely Lorena-like on this back nine. Something must be going on in that head of hers, and it's looking all the more likely that Lorena will be departing from the #1 rank in the Rolex Rankings very soon.

Glendale police need help locating two suspects who scammed an 87-year-old man into handing over $1,000 in cash and his credit card number.
The victim was approached by a woman on Feb. 18 while shopping at Walmart at 9350 W. Northern Ave. The suspect told him she was a nurse at a local hospital and was currently taking care of his wife while she was at the hospital, according to Officer Tracey Breeden of the Glendale Police Department.
The suspect told him she was in need of a loan and in return she would provide personal care for his wife, Breeden said
The man drove the suspect along with one other woman and child to his home, where he gave them the cash and his credit card number, Breeden said. He then drove them back to Walmart. Once there, the suspects fled, possibly in a white Chevrolet crew cab three-fourths-ton pickup truck.
The suspects used the victim's credit card to buy about $2,000 in merchandise before the account could be closed, Breeden said.
One of the suspects is described as 35 to 45 years old. She is 5'4" to 5'6" tall and weighs 150 to 160 pounds. She has with brown shoulder-length hair.
The second suspect is about 30 years old. She is 5'4" to 5'6" tall and weighs 130 pounds. She has brown hair. They had a boy with them who was 8 to 12 years old.
Glendale police fraud and forgery detectives said they have exhausted all leads. People with any information about the case are asked to call Detective Harry Steward at 623-930-3217 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

1 x fat quarter for your binding
Now it's time to cut out the bag flap. Take a larger piece of fabric - I used a piece that measured 9" x 10" - and cut it in half so that you have two pieces that measure around 9" x 5". Round the corners as pictured below.
Place the two pieces together, right sides facing, and sew them with a 1/2cm seam allowance, leaving the top open. Make the same incisions around the corners that you did on your bag straps - as pictured below.
Pin the flap onto your backing so that it covers both straps. Sew along the edge with a 1/2cm allowance, leaving the edges raw.
Place this to the side, as you will now be making your binding. I cut four 2" strips from a fat quarter, so they were around 2" x 22". If you have never made binding before (this is not bias binding, which is cut on a diagonal across your fabric), it takes just a few simple steps. Firstly, iron your pieces in half, longways. Then open your fabric out, pull the edges back in so that they meet the middle (as pictured below), and iron again.
I was recently shown a neat trick for using binding, which help me immensely (I'm notoriously untidy when using binding). It does make for a little extra sewing, but well worth it (and saves you from unpicking later). Open out your binding again, and place the right side edge to edge against your backing. You will be pinning three pieces of fabric together now. The front of your playmat will be placed wrong side to wrong side against your backing.
Pin your binding, opened out, all the way down along the edge of your two pieces, as pictured below. Sew close to the edge, ensuring that you are collecting all three pieces of fabric in your seam.
Now flip your mat over and fold your binding so that it encloses the edges of your mat (there's a little yellow arrow showing you where to fold, in case this is not completely obvious already). Now you can topstitch your binding, resting assured that you have collected all your pieces together!
When it comes to corners, I'm no expert, but this is what I do. I tuck one corner of the first piece of binding (already sewn on) into the second piece of binding before I have sewn that piece. When I sew the second piece of binding on, I make sure I only sew as far as the seam on the first side - around about where that blue pin is in the photo below.
I then fold the corners of the binding, tucking excess fabric underneath the binding, and creating a diagonal line reaching from the outside corner to the inside corner of the quilt.
Pin into place, and then topstitch.
When it comes to the pocket, it's really up to you how large you want it. My piece of pocket fabric measured 10" x 7". First do a single fold hem on the top edge of the pocket.
Next pin your pocket to the top left hand quarter of your mat (as pictured below), making sure to leave room for the top flap and the button. Top stitch the sides and the base.
For the next (and final stage) you will need to fold your bag in half and in half again - so that it looks like this:
Making sure the button is undone, you will then take the top left hand corner, and add basic snaps to attach all four corners. You will use three sets of snaps to attach the four corners of fabric.
The final set of snaps will be used to attach the bottom left hand corners, as pictured.
And then you're done!
One fold and go child's play mat. Perfect for playing with farm or zoo animals, or you could create roads and parking lots for playing with toy cars. This sweet little mat can then be folded into a backpack, with the toys stored in their own little pocket, and your little one can carry their own entertainment system to your next destination. These would make perfect Christmas or birthday gifts for a little one.

(ABC NEWS) -- It may take a village to raise a child. But all it takes to raise employment is a taco.
That seems to be the situation at Taco Bell, anyway, which added 15,000 employees last year, company chief executive Greg Creed told the Daily Beast, largely on one new product.
Creed attributes the success to Doritos Locos Tacos, which the company rolled out in March, 2012 and was the "biggest launch in Taco Bell history," he told the Beast. Throughout 2012, the 170-calorie taco, whose shell is made from a nacho cheese Doritos in a collaboration with Frito-Lay, 375 million were gobbled up, which averages out to about one million per day.
But why stop there? On March 7, it launched Cool Ranch Dorito Locos Tacos. The slogan? "Collect All Two."
"We believe we can add 2,000 new restaurants in the next 10 years, because what we have is proprietary and exclusive. Nobody else can make a Cool Ranch Doritos Taco. And that's just in the U.S.," Creed told the Beast. Creed was traveling today and unavailable to talk to ABC News, a spokesman said.
Taco Bell is part of Yum! Brands, Inc., based in Louisville, Ky. It's one of the world's largest restaurant company with more than 39,000 locations in 125 countries. Its brands include KFC and Pizza Hut.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Alternate title: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Le Grinch, The Grinch
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
2 Readers' Reviews
April 5th, 20083:58 pm
Ron Howard simply hasn't got it as a mainstream multi-million dollar director. Howard makes the fundamental mistakes of telling Jim Carrey ('The Grinch') to "...just go with it and see what happens...", and trying to make the movie look exactly like the flow of the animated classic.
This film has absolutely no charm and suffers the ever-typical Hollywoodization that bad film-makers are suceptible to such as dirty jokes, violence, and the wreckless liberties they take in changing the events of the original story.
Carrey overacts in an ugly and arrogant fashion and there is no humor - only lots of claustrophobic scenes of noisy clutter with a trashy look overall.
Grossly unlikeable mess that must be blamed on 'Opie' - make that 'Dopey Opie'.

See which brands experienced the biggest change in brand value in 2010.
Find out which sectors performed best from 2008 to 2010.
What makes you optimistic about the economy?
We have witnessed difficult times for the global economy. The world appears to have become more complex and less linear over time. And we appear to be surrounded by an increasing number of challenges put forth by global megatrends like climate change, urbanization and an aging population. One thing we know: The world of tomorrow will need an infrastructure that lasts, and a sustainable way to use resources. Siemens is dedicated to providing this infrastructure. I am optimistic about the future because Werner von Siemens said: "I will never sacrifice the future for momentary gain." This dedication is very much alive in the company – you feel it every single day.
What unpredictable factor most impacted how you managed your brand in the past decade?
"Unpredictable" may be an overstatement, but the way in which insights gained from brand research and campaign monitoring are influencing our approach to individual markets has developed faster than we expected. Today, we have a better understanding of what drives specific dimensions of our brand image in a given market. As a result, we can be more specific in how we communicate our brand proposition in a local context. Siemens has strong local roots across the globe, and our communication needs to reflect this strength. What is remarkable is how well marketing insights support this.
How have you adapted to the impact of technology and social media?
We have taken social media extremely seriously from its beginnings, and were a first mover in our industry to support this development. We introduced an internal blog platform in 2006 that is still alive, and continues to be expanded with functionalities like a Siemens wiki. Enabling our employees to participate in social conversations that revolve around domains that they work in is just as necessary a prerequisite in the information age as access to the internet was 10 years ago. We do not see social media as a market communications channel, though – it is the individual Siemens manager or employee who speaks in social media, not the company. We think this distinction is important.
Michael Rossa heads Market Communications in the Corporate Communications Center of Siemens in Munich, Germany. With his team he is responsible for Siemens' corporate brand, advertising, media, sponsoring and events.
Michael studied product design at the University of Kassel, Germany, and graduated with a "Diplom" degree (the equivalent of a master's degree). He obtained a Ph.D. with his work on interaction design at the Royal College of Art, London. Before he joined Siemens in 1997 he worked with a design agency in Munich.
His professional experience at Siemens includes two years of corporate design management and three years of responsibility for the appearance of the brand on the web. He was head of Web Strategy for three years and oversaw Corporate Media for another three years before assuming his current responsibilities in 2008.

Biomass is the most abundant biological material on the planet. It is renewable; it grows almost everywhere; and it provides fuel, power, chemicals, and many other products. But most people don't know that biomass is a major part of the U.S. economy.

We all cope with stress differently, and some handle it better than others.
But, it appears that women are better at it than men.
Researchers in the United States say the reason is the hormone, oestrogen.
It blocks the negative effects of stress on the brain.
Higher concentrations of the hormone are found in women, which is why scientists say men have a tougher time coping.
The study was done using mice, but researchers are hopeful that the hormone could be used to treat stress-related problems one day.

My roommate and I just finished our first playthrough of Borderlands. We managed to do every single quest in the main story netting us a good chunk of PS3 trophies. We are now on our second run through and now we love this game even more.
Even simple skags in one of the first areas of the game have been proving difficult for my level 38 Brick and his level 38 Mordecai. We've only played the game split-screen, meaning we haven't gotten the best loot or weapons. However, Mordecai does have x4 incendiary sniper and I have an x3 Explosive shotgun; both do massive damage.
The story in Borderlands is atrociously bad but, the gameplay and the gun fights are so much fun that I just don't care. I adore almost any split-screen game but I truly feel that Borderlands may be one of the best split-screen experiences I have ever had. Menu navigation is annoying in split screen since you can't see the entire interface but it is still doable and I'm willing to look past this flaw.
Seriously, I've been waiting for a game like this. I enjoy MMO-style gameplay but I simply don't have the time to grind 3+ hours a day for one level. Nor do I have the time to stare at my screen while waiting for party members to get their act together. Borderlands satisfies the itch of feeling like an MMO but playing like an action-packed shooter.
Scott Jones wrote a scathing review of this game when it first released, and it's definitely worth a read is you want to see all of the flaws with this game. However, I feel that playing this game with the intent of writing of review does not give this game justice. If you were to run through this game in two or three sittings, the experience would likely be bland and repetitive, and Jones' review reflects that feeling.
Borderlands plays like an MMO however, and I can't even fathom how to properly review a game that has such a grand scale, such as World of Warcraft. The "everydayness" of play affects your overall perception of the game, causing you to fall in love with the experience of playing with friends. As a stand alone shooter, Borderlands would have a hard time being compared to Modern Warfare 2 but, simply put, Borderlands in more than just a shooter.
I guess my ultimate question is how do we, as game journalists, review games that are supposed to be enjoyed over months of play, and not just a couple of days? Having a review out quick is important but, is it fair to judge games while having to "marathon play" through them?
Honestly, I don't know the answer to that question. What do you think?

Liga BBVA20:00vs
A precocious talent and widely considered to be one of best all-round forwards in the world, Benzema can make his own chances, finish clinically in the area and make assists for his teammates. He always places his talents at the service of the team.
His game is based on power and movement on both wings, skill on the ball and deadly finishing in the last few metres of the pitch. From the beginning of his career at Olympique Lyonnais it was obvious that he would be a great player. During his spell at the French club he collected several collective and individual honours such as the Bravo Award in 2008. It was therefore no surprise that Real Madrid did not think twice about recruiting such a special talent and signed him the following summer.
He was already an experienced player at the highest level and the move to Madrid meant fulfilling one of his biggest dreams: wearing the same shirt as his hero, Ronaldo Nazario. The French forward now wants to win with Real Madrid the one honour that has eluded him, the Champions League, a competition in which he has one of the best goalscoring averages.

Unfortunately sexual assault and violence happens much more than people like to talk about. Throughout the United States, college campuses in particular may pose some of the highest risks of sexual violence. The College of St. Scholastica is no different in having incidences of sexual violence.
According to the American College Health Association: College of St Scholastica Statistics in 2011
160 women and 42 men reported sexual touching without their consent.
83 women and 10 men reported a sexual penetration attempt without their consent.
40 women and 0 men reported sexual penetration without their consent.
57 women and 0 men reported being in a physically abusive relationship.
Only 44% of women versus 75% of men reported feeling "very safe" at night on campus.
Only 20% of women versus 48% of men reported feeling "very safe" at night in the surrounding community.
According to the United States Department of Justice:
1 in 4 college women will be sexually assaulted during their college career (Sampson 14).
The most recent large-scale study, including students at both two- and four-year colleges, found 35 rapes per 1,000 female students over 7 months (16).
Less than 5% of completed and attempted rapes of college students are brought to the attention of campus authorities and/or law enforcement (17).
In one study, over 40% of those raped who did not report the incident said they did not do so because they feared reprisal by the assailant or others (17).
90% of rapes that occur on college campuses are acquaintance rapes (14).

I found this to be too harsh around the eyes.
It caused irritaion and puffiness. For my face it caused break outs.
I did not notice any type of anti-wrinkle results from using this either.
Got this in a travel size. Glad that I did. The smell irritates my allergies. Its very strong and made me sneeze once. Dont like that. It didnt go on as smooth as I thought it would. Its a shame about the smell because I really wanted to see if it works as well as the reviews say. I may use it on my hands to use up what I have. Had high hopes for it but I really can not stand my allergies to flare up!
This is very good product, is the only one wich makes my skin feel and look alive without consecuences.
PROS: very moisturizing, good night cream, gentle, great value for money
CONS: heavily fragranced (if you don't like that, watch out, but I don't mind)
Ah, one of the moisturizers in my daily routine. HG status? Yes.
I was originally attracted to the Ponds line because of their Clarant B3 moisturizer (also HG and in my routine), a hyperpigmentation-slaying cream. After falling in love their and getting interested in anti-aging, I bought this one to supplement the first, and the rest is history.
Background: My skin is... temperamental. Acne-prone + lazy + sensitive + combination + prone to hyperpigmentation and scarring. Yikes. I've spent years researching how to keep my skin in tip-top condition, and basically my philosophy boils down to simple, gentle, multipurpose, and effective skincare.
This cream is very heavy and thoroughly moisturizing- I sometimes even use this as an eye cream. If you have oily spots like me (or completely oily skin), this can still work for you if you use it in small amounts, well blended over the face and neck. Even though this is heavily fragranced (like perfume/floral/powdery), that scent dissipates, and the product itself seems incredibly gentle. Never have I broken out while using any of the Ponds creams- they are very high quality, in my opinion. Either find the one that works for you or create a moisturizing routine.
My moisturizing routine: 1 part this, 1 part the Ponds Clarant B3, 1 part Clean&Clear Morning Burst Moisturizer. This provides anti-aging benefits and deeply moisturizes, the Clarant B3 fights hyperpigmentation, and the Clean&Clear sheers the others out so my face doesn't feel too heavy. I highly recommend this routine for anyone looking for very effective but comfortable moisturization.
In short, this cream is very hydrating and gentle, and I use it daily.

I love this moisturizer, I actually have been buying the small jar at target, it is very cheap. I use it during the day and it works great as a makeup primer. It makes my skin feel hydrated and glow. The packaging is in a jar which is not great but overall this is a great purchase for the price.

While in search of a new lotion for my beauty regime, I stumbled upon a travel size of this product. I remembered seeing such high ratings so I thought I'd give it a try not knowing this is meant to be used on the face and neck. So I get back to work and realize my hands feel sticky. Well, duh, Jo, this is meant to be used on your face not your hands.
I'm very in between with this product. The product seeps into my skin nicely, I do get a little of a shiny effect after, but it isn't exaggerated. It also has a heavy fragrance of baby powder which seems to last a long while. Although I do like the smell of baby powder, I would prefer not to smell like I was just attacked by a big bottle of it. If you have a sensitive schnoz then this might not be for you. But if you want something cheap and moisturizing that will leave you smelling powdery fresh all day then you've met your match.
As for me, I think I'll try some other products and maybe return to this one day.
This would be good except for the old lady smell and the packaging.
First, I have to say that I am horror stricken that I have move up a notch in the age category! I turned 44 on 2/3 and that now puts me in the 44-55 category. OMG, that makes me feel OLD! Anyway, on to the review.
I adore this stuff! It is in the top 5 of my skincare items and I will definitely buy again as long as I can find it, and even then I will hunt like a dog for it online if I cannot find it in the stores. I gave 5 lippies for loving it and for price, 3 lippies for packaging. I wish I didn't have to stick my fingers in the jar, and being that the jar is huge, I make sure my fingers are very clean first.
Also, I adore the smell. It's a milky kind of smell (to me) and since the second ingredient is Lactic acid (milk derived) it's fitting. The product glides on and is absorbed immediately and does not leave residue behind that interferes with makeup application.
I use this cream day and night unless I'm using Retin-A at night, then I follow with a facial oil 20 minutes after the Retin-A application. I can pair and layer with any other moisturizers and never have a problem with pilling or balling up (don't you hate that? When you've spent time and product on your face only to have to rewash and start all over?)
This cream stung a little the first week of application but it wasn't a itching sting like some AHA products can do, just a little tiny sting and after the first week no stinging, just moisturized supple skin.
It doesn't break me out at all. You would think once you reach 44 one wouldn't have to worry about that sort of thing anymore, but alas, this is not so. I have to be careful, STILL, with what makeup and skin care products I use.
All in all this is a delightful product and I would pay 3X as much without a qualm. Enjoy ladies!

Ok, so I picked this up at the store on a whim. I had not heard of it before, and was skeptical of it because it was Pond's, but it was made in Mexico, although not a surprise that this was on the shelves in my largely Hispanic area. I read the ingredients, and seeing that the second ingredient after water was lactic acid, I decided to give it a try. I looked it up on MUA after I got home, and was shocked to see so many rave reviews. Now that I have used it for a couple of months I know why. My skin soaks this stuff up! It moisturizes my dry skin like a dream, a jar lasts forever, and I like the overbearing smell (LOL). My fine lines are reduced, and this is the first winter in forever that I have no patchy dry places on my face anywhere (I live in frigid Nebraska right across the border from South Dakota)! Amazing stuff, and the price is fabulous, especially considering I had been using an Estee Lauder product and this stuff works better for 1/6th the price. I am a convert!

This product is horrible!!! It smells so incredibly bad, I couldn't bear to put it on. What were they thinking. As far as how it works… it was just so so. I stuck with it for a couple of weeks thinking I would tolerate the smell if it was a terrific product, but sadly it was not a great product and smells disgusting.

What changes have you made in the last 12 months to increase your garden center's profitability? We have increased some prices including annual flats which went from $17.99 to $19.99. 4-inch vegetables went from $3.99 to $4.99 each. We also kept a very close eye on payroll hours and dollars this year on a weekly basis, making many cutbacks as the season slowed down. We also pre-booked much less from vendors with the expectation that there would be many price reductions from the vendors in a slow economy. This did work to our advantage.
What services and products do you offer your customers when it comes to sustainability? We are buying more and more plants from local vendors (within 50 miles). It's a break even venture, what we save on shipping we end up paying a little more the plants, but the quality is better and our customers like that we support our local economy as well as benefit of a plant that has been subjected to our harsh winters.
In the last 12 months, have you used your POS system for any of the following? Our POS system is so much more than a cash register. We use it constantly to track sales. Our department managers check every monday to compare their sales to last year against their goals for this year and then it is turned in to the general manager for weekly review. This gives us a weekly review of what when on in that department and it will usually spark discussion on ways to improve.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Review
Review Date : Wed, 14 May 2014
Author : Jon Devo
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Review – It may be the first mirrorless camera to shoot 4K video, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 is facing some tough competition in a difficult market. Has it done enough?
|Impressive 4K video; Durable weather-sealed body; Very fast autofocus; DSLR styled design is a pleasure to use
|Weak Tracking AF; Higher resolution sensor would have been welcome; Intimidating, overcomplicated controls
Sales of compact system cameras may not be what they once were, but the quality of the cameras themselves remains undimmed.
The Olympus OM-D EM-1, the Fujifilm X-T1, the Sony Alpha 6000 - all these great cameras rival DSLRs for image quality, and each provides a unique and satisfying experience for the user.
Into this battleground wades the DSLR-styled Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4, which made its debut at CES this year as the first mirrorless camera to shoot 4K video.
Given its great videography pedigree - its predecessor the GH3 was well regarded among video-shooters - you'd naturally expect video to be the GH4's chief selling point, but there's in fact a lot more under the bonnet here, not least of which is a reworked 16.05MP Live MOS sensor.
Once you start looking, there's plenty more to find. For instance the new quad-core Venus Engine processor pairs with the new sensor to give the GH4 significant improvements over its predecessor in a lot of different areas, including ISO sensitivity and noise handling.
Let's delve a little deeper and see if the GH4 can hold up against its CSC competition.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Review - Features
The GH4 eclipses the Lumix DMC-GX7 as the most comprehensive and feature-packed CSC in Panasonic's range.
As mentioned, the new sensor/processor combination pushes up the GH4's ISO sensitivity, bestowing it with a native range of 200-25,600 (100 is available in an extended setting).
Noise handling capabilities have also been improved, resulting in a camera that's significantly more confident and self-assured in low light than any of its predecessors.
The processing power has also made the GH4 nice and fast. It can burst-shoot with continuous AF at 7.4 frames per second, and this can be pushed up to 12 in AF-S mode.
This complements the lightning-fast AF rather nicely, and makes the GH4 an especially good camera for freezing fast-moving subjects. The GH4 also has a truly professional grade shutter, rated to 200,000 actuations.
Using Panasonic's Depth from Defocus (DFD) technology, the GH4 is capable of achieving focus faster than ever before.
If you're in the right conditions, the GH4 can achieve focus in around 0.07 seconds. This is a shade faster than the Fujifilm X-T1, though it's not the kind of shade that the human brain is capable of noticing (we're talking hundredths of a second).
DFD technology works by using two out-of-focus areas - one in the foreground and one in the back - to get the correct focus as fast as possible. Be aware that it's only available with compatible Lumix lenses, though.
On the subject of autofocus, the GH4 also boasts forty-nine contrast-detect AF points, which can be selected in customisable groups, and also has the new and welcome addition of focus peaking, which the GH3 notably lacked.

Utah-BYU game ranked one of the best of 2012
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: July 8, 2013 03:23PM
Updated: July 18, 2013 06:26AM
Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Riley Nelson (13) runs away from Utah Utes defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (92) during the first half of against BYU at Rice-Eccles Stadium Saturday September 15, 2012.
The Utah-BYU rivalry might not be as big as it once was in the eyes' of some Utah fans now that the Utes are in the Pac-12, but the 2012 game was one to remember, with Utah taking a 24-21 win after a missed field goal attempt by BYU.
The Cougars had a chance at the 36-yard game-tying field goal when Utah fans rushed the field too soon following a missed field goal attempt by the Cougars, resulting in an unsportsmanlike penalty.
The wild finish made the game one of ESPN's top games of 2012, coming in at No. 24 out of a list of Top 25 games.
You can check out the list on the website. The order of the Top 5 games will be decided through a fan poll.
ESPNU will televise all the games starting on July 17.
