This is a fun and challenging course. Nice mix of open and wooded holes. It is easy to lose some discs here. Arrows point the way to some hard to find baskets. Wear pants and bring bug spray. Worth the trip.

I love to play this course! Word to the wise...holes 9 & 12 send some one ahead to be a spotter...I have lost 2 discs on hole 12....the woods ate them!! maintained fairly well with port-a-johns at the start and end. Note...There is a little walk from the end of the course back to the beginning. A lot of fun. Hole #8 is my favorite. Worth the drive!!

lots of short technical holes from the shorts. the longs can be brutal in the summer. horns hill can be a great course or it can be a nightmare depending on the day you are having. please pick up your trash though, apparently no one thought to put in trash cans.

The Silver Lakes assistant from Alexandria shot a 2-over-par 74 at Grayson Valley Country Club and trailed by seven after the first round. He is tied for ninth.
Paul Johnson of Daphne and Blanton Tessin of Shoal Creek both carded 67s to lead the 25-man field by four. The top two qualifiers advance to the nationals Oct. 31-Nov. 3 in Florida.
"It was a little bit of a roller coaster," Clay said. "I was a little nervous, like any tournament, but I was confident. I was hitting the ball good (and) putting it good. I hit one bad tee shot and one bad hole. If I don't have that one bad hole, I'm tied for third."
The bad hole came on the longest par-4 on the short golf course. His tee shot hit a tree and while everyone in the group saw it land they couldn't find the ball. He played a provisional, hit on the green and then three-putted.
On the positive side, he birdied the four shortest of the five par-5s on the 6,527-yard course.
"That's what I wanted," he said. "The one I parred was the one I was OK parring. The rest were reachable. I hit into 18 in two and had a six-footer for eagle. It was the only putt outside six feet I missed all day.
"It's out there. I could go out there tomorrow and stay away from big numbers I'll be fine."
Jordan Evans, the other Silver Lakes assistant in the field, shot 11-over 83 in his first professional tournament. He carded three birdies in the round, but also had four double bogeys.
"I hit three tee shots out of bounds. Take those away, I'm sitting at 77 or so," he said. "I was a little bit nervous, but once I got to my 10th hole or so I told myself just hit the ball, it's just golf. Once I did that, I started playing pretty well.
"I played well after I got my act together and got rid of the nerves. Tomorrow I'm going to try to keep it in play, watch the OB line and keep the putts rolling."
At the top of the leaderboard, Johnson scored six birdies on the front nine of his round and Tessin had six birdies and one bogey altogether.
The event concludes today.
Al Muskewitz covers golf for The Star. He can be reached at 256-235-3577.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Mazda CX-9
By KBB.com Editors
Car-based "crossover" utility vehicles (CUVs) try to marry the best attributes of passenger cars and SUVs, and these days they are leaving the woods and mountains behind. The goal is to offer a sporty, urban vibe, and none pulls this off better than the 2010 Mazda CX-9. It offers the tough-to-achieve blend of sport sedan and SUV that can corner and carry equally well. Like the smaller Mazda CX-7, the CX-9 is genuinely fun to drive yet still useful on a shopping trip or a family vacation. Of the two, the CX-7 may be a tad sportier, but its larger three-row, seven-passenger CX-9 stablemate, which shares its engine and much of its architecture with Ford's Edge and Lincoln's new MKT, delivers a similar feel while upping the utility quotient considerably.
If large three-row CUV practicality with a fair measure of Mazda "Zoom-Zoom" character might be your cup of tea, take a look at the 2010 Mazda CX-9. Its combination of sporty looks, eager performance and people and cargo capacity should impress you.
If your needs include a greater level of off-road prowess or heavier cargo and towing capability, one of many less sporty but more powerful and capable SUVs on the market would be a better choice.
For 2010, the CX-9 receives a slight exterior and interior refresh, gaining the company's new signature front end, large side mirrors and a new headlamp/fog light design.
Driving Impressions A lightly-loaded 2010 CX-9 does a creditable job of living up to Mazda's "Zoom-Zoom" marketing promise with its rigid unibody chassis, low-friction MacPherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension,...precise engine-speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering and stabilizer bars at both ends. Despite its substantial size and weight, it acquits itself surprisingly well on curvy country roads and rides smoothly and quietly at freeway speeds. With more people and cargo aboard, it is understandably less athletic and loses some performance, but it remains a satisfying ride. Unlike many three-row CUVs, there is ample adult-size room in all seating positions and 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
60/40-Split, Sliding, Reclining Second-Row Seat
This versatile center-row seat slides five inches to accommodate long-legged folks either on or behind it. The seat also has reclining backrests, offers easy access to the third row with a one-handed release and folds flat into the floor to optimize cargo room.
Active Torque-Split All-Wheel-Drive
On available all-wheel-drive models, sensors signal control modules to send more torque to the axle with the best traction automatically. Up to half the engine's torque can be sent to the rear through a computer-controlled coupling connected to the rear differential.
The CX-9's interior upholds the exterior's sporting character but with more luxury touches than the less expensive CX-7. Its instrument panel has quad chrome-ringed gauges under a prominent hood and a logically laid-out audio and climate control area bounded by rich wood spears plunging from dash-top to floor and mirroring similar pieces in the door panels. The three-spoke steering wheel, contoured front bucket seats and two-tone trim say "sports car" more than "SUV," while blue indirect lighting adds an upscale glow at night. The 60/40 second-row seat reclines and slides forward to enhance third-row access, and both it and the 50/50 third seat fold flat into the floor, like many CUVs in this class, the CX-9's third row seat is best suited for children or diminutive adults.Exterior
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is well dressed for its role as the bigger brother of Mazda's CX-7 sport CUV. Its look is Mazda sporty, with a signature five-point grille over a wide, aggressive bumper, wrap-around headlights and a broad-shouldered tail with curving tail lights and twin trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips. One nice touch is a full-width chrome strip across the top of the black-out grille opening, which flows across the top of the large, centered Mazda logo and is mirrored again in the lower grille opening. Long rear doors allow easy access to the third-row seats, although it's still a bit of squeeze for adults venturing rearward.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is offered in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The base Sport comes with three-row, seven-passenger seating, front and rear air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM/CD audio and six sets of air bags (front, side and full-length side curtain). Additional safety features include four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The mid-range Touring and top-line Grand Touring add leather trim, power front seats and more.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 has an options list that mimics a premium-level sedan. Major options available on the CX-9 include SIRIUS Satellite Radio, DVD-based touch-screen navigation, Blind Spot Monitoring System, Surround Sound Bose premium audio with a six-CD changer (single disc when combined with navigation), rear DVD entertainment system, keyless entry and start, 4.3-inch view screen with rear backup camera and a power rear liftgate. All-wheel drive is an important functional option.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9's 3.7-liter V6 is a variation of the 3.5-liter engine that powers its American cousins, the Ford Edge, however, the 3.7-liter version is specific to Mazda and Lincoln. It powers the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission, or all four wheels with Mazda's available Active Torque-Split all-wheel-drive.
3.7-liter V6
273 horsepower @ 6250 rpm
270 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 (FWD), 15/21 (AWD)

"I have had many cars in my life and have never bought the same make/model twice.....until now! The CX-9 is a great car that has never let me down. It drives like a dream, has excellent pick up, lots of fun options and it looks amazing. The Bose sound system is a real treat as is the dual seat heat, and climate control. It COMFORTABLY fits all 8 of us (myself, husband and 6 kids)...even on longer drives. There is lots of leg room and cargo space with the seats down. I have rarely had to take it in for anything other than standard repairs, ie: wheel bearings and exhaust. The only thing that ever bothered me are the blind spots. If you buy this car, they take some getting used to as they are pretty significant. It now has 105,000 miles and is still running strong. I would keep it, but we are downsizing 2 cars for one and a NEW CX-9 is the only way to go!"

No where near what I expected. I don't drive crazy nor do I haul heavy loads yet I get only about 12 miles to the gallon. Please keep this in mind when considering the Mazda cx9"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 22,000overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Handling, versatility, comfortable seating"
Cons: "Quirky radio/climate controls"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"Purchased new in early 2012, we were drawn to the Mazda CX-9 by the roomy, comfortable interior with high quality materials and a 3rd row seat in a fairly compact package. Ease of opening and folding the 3rd row seat sold the wife on this car. She loves it. So do I. With 22000 miles, the CX-9 has had only two unscheduled visits to the dealer. 1. A power steering belt broke; and 2. I had to cut the seat belt in the right rear to extract my child who had been squirming around and got himself inextricably entwined in the seat belt which cinched up around him and could not be unfastened. Mazda was good enough to cover that repair even though I didn't expect them to. A bit disappointed with 16-17 MPG city and 22 hwy. but with adequate acceleration. Had hoped for 3-4 MPG more each. Braking very good with 80% pads left after 22,000 miles. Brakes squeak occasionally when cold but there is a kit Mazda installs to eliminate this. Excellent driving position and comfort on long hauls. No fatigue after a 3 1/2 hour drive and that's exceptional for me with my bad back. Love the Blind Spot Monitoring system. Works great. The gauges are a bit dated looking and are either too bright or too dim at night with limited adjustability. A very slight turn of the dimmer knob either direction maxes it out either way. The rear view camera provides a somewhat distorted view to the rear. Daylight glare on the screen washes out that view. Handling is exceptional for an SUV of this size. But ride can be a bit bouncy on certain surfaces with the 20" wheels on the Grand Touring. And the OEM Bridgestone tires became rather noisy with a loud humm after 20,000 miles. The radio/climate controls beep every time you make a selection. Wish I knew how to turn that off. It's a bit annoying. And the radio/climate display read out at the top center of the dash is not prominent enough. I prefer a clearer, larger display. Also, the keyless ignition on the 2012 model is a bit quirky. The keyless fob allows you to turn the "dummy" ignition switch on the steering column, as opposed to a "push start-push off" button. None of that is that big of a deal to us however. Overall, we're very happy, and glad we bought the 2012 model. We DO NOT LIKE the 2013-2014 exterior redesign."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 31,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "Cargo room, relative comfort, reliability"
Cons: "Forward angled steering/dash, bulky/cheap feel"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"Bought this '11 GT FWD new coming out of an '08 Pathfinder... wanted something more car like in drivability, but still needed lots of cargo room. Almost didn't buy due to FWD torque steer and driver position/steering/dash reach. Mostly the reasons I'll likely be trading this tomorrow on a VW AWD Touareg. The Mazda is nice, it is very reliable, and drives pretty well, but does feel big, cause it is! It has a HUGE amount of cargo space, which I needed more than now at purchase time. Maybe I should have gotten the AWD, but wanted better gas mileage which is pretty lame as it is (17.5 avg). I hate the FWD torque steer. Almost dangerous in 'need to get out of the way' situations. It just spins the front tires. Worse for me (at 5'8") is the angle of the steering wheel (also too small IMO) and dash (all forward leaning) and the subsequent far reach for all. A '9/3' hand position on the wheel is almost impossible when pedal distance is correct. Nav screen not readable in sunlight due to this ridiculous angle as well. (Nav is also not very intuitive to use). Other gripes is lack of lit up controls like windows (besides drivers), locks, mirrors, etc, which I didn't catch til first night drive after purchase-have to open the dang door to see the lock/unlock button! ... cost cutting, but lame. Stereo is way boomy and too much low/low mids, not natural. Truck feels thin and cheap to me. Having said that, I got a great deal on it when buying, and it wasn't that expensive to begin with. So, you get what you pay for. Bluetooth does work well, and voice recognition is decent. As stated, it's a very nice truck/car, probably better suited to bigger folks with long arms! The above mentioned are deal breakers for me though, so after lots of research, going back to German solidness/engineering (had a few Beemers and Audis). More expensive, but again, you get what you pay for."

Do you have a perimeter drain around the house? If so then I would be investigating the shape its in as a first step. The sump should be just in case not used regularly.
I have a cut out in the basement slab where the water main comes into the house.
This is the spot where water came up and in and flooded more than half of the basement a few years back. I then put in the sump pump on an emergency basis.
Now that I have some time on my hands, I plan on addressing this as well as the humidity in the basement.
1) Should I do anything about the cut out for the water main? Do most people have this set up? i.e. cover it up? Fill with gravel? Cement? I would think not wise to seal it permanently in case something ever happens to the piping.
2) Sump pump - I used a home depot orange bucket with a bunch of holes drilled in it wrapped with a porous cloth as a stop gap. Should I consider digging way deeper with a much larger sump pit bucket? The sump works now...but I suspect it's probably not deep enough as I see plenty of water in both cut outs.
3) Considering a larger therma stor dehumidifier. Basement is 38.5' x 25' and will not be finished. I will be putting down FLOR carpet tiles after I figure out how to address some dampness coming out of the floor and the walls in a few spots (very minor but evident). Anybody used the stand alone units? I was thinking I would get he cheapest one as their 1800-2500 sq ft capactiy would seem more than enough. I currently have a soleusair unit I got from home depot that does 30 pints/day that seems to run all the time when set to 65% RH. Basement can get humid although I never get condensation.
4) If I manually actuate the sump say 20-30 times I can get the water in the cutout for the water main to go down. Sometimes it's bone dry there.....But I'm also getting water all the way on the other side of the floor that is on the high side of the hill.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have a perimeter drain around the house? If so then I would be investigating the shape its in as a first step. The sump should be just in case not used regularly.
Doesn't appear so. When I dug the pit for the sump, there was nothing below the concrete floor. I have a 3' ditch on the high side spanning past the house that's filled with gravel + 4" perforated pip to catch the water before it rolls down the hill. That connects up with all the gutters and all the water is at least pushed away from the house...But no french drain.
First, you can fill in the space around the sump can with pea-gravel, and patch the slab with concrete at that location. You may want to cut in a fiber-cement board cover for the pit where the water main comes in, but leave it otherwise open.
Digging the sump deeper won't really address the water table or drainage issue much. As long as the water level is below the slab, being 2" below isn't much different from being 12" below. To get serious about it would require digging down to the footings along the entire perimeter and installing drain-tile pea gravel to direct the water incursions at the foundation toward the sump, but if it's a high water table condition that's causing it you may have to demo the entire slab, dig down and backfill with clean 1/2-3/4" screenings (no fines) to get there.
Putting carpet of ANY kind in a basement with a flooding history is just BAD IDEA anywhere. Power failures are often related to storms an high bulk-water influx conditions. It WILL flood again, it's only a matter of when. Even if you had a dry basement, in Tarrytown the deep subsoil temps run about 50F, and the summertime outdoor air dew points average in the mid-60s. If you put an insulating air-permeable finish material like carpet on a slab, the slab will cool off, and the relative humidity deep in the carpet will soar, creating mold conditions. In your location it's advisable to put at least R4 of rigid foam (R8 is better) between the rug & soil to have any hope of keeping it from getting moldy. In new construction it's better to put it under the slab- 1.5" of XPS or 2" of EPS (the better choice, since it will retain all of it's R-value over the decades, whereas XPS loses ~10% over 50 years.). Without slab insulation, even if you took the room-air dew point down to 50F (the deep subsoil temp), there would still be a high RH at the bottom of a slab-mounted rug.
A 68F room temp w/ 50F dew point corresponds to 43% RH. Play around with an online psychrometric calculator a bit, and you'll see the problem- if you put an R1 rug down, the bottom half is going to be pretty cool, unless you have a much greater R value under it.
Short of demoing the whole slab and starting over, clean it up then use multiple applications of an appropriate concrete sealer can reduce the capillary draw through the slab, but if you want to finish the floor without insulating it, use only water/flood-tolerant materials, with a non-wicking vapor barrier type of underlayment, or you'll be re-doing it in a few years. See this. Unless you take the really serious approach to guaranteeing it won't flood again, you can't get away with the wooden subfloor over foam under a finished floor.
This is exactly why I'll never finish the basement fully in my place, but I've insulated the walls with rigid foam, air sealed it, etc. and I'll probably use a stain finish to the concrete if I want it to look nicer, but after better than a week without power after the ice storm of December 2008 there was 4" of water in the basement. About 3 days after hurricane Irene danced up the Hudson Valley in August 2011 my local water table temporarily rose to above the slab, even though I'm more than 100 miles east of the peak rainfall areas, and even WITH 4 sump pumps there was water flowing out of cracks in the middle of the floor over to the sumps. Your place doesn't look a whole lot better off (and possible worse off) than mine, in those regards.
I'm able to keep my basement under 60% RH all summer for about 400 kwh of power use per year with a standalone 70 pint room dehumidifier, after sealing and insulating the walls, and sealing the slab. The dehumidifier is set up with a drain hose, dripping directly into one of the sumps (through a tight-fitting sump cover.) With the concrete sealed, the basement RH tracks with summertime outdoor dew point averages- I only had to start running the dehumidifier on a couple of weeks ago during the 90F heat, but it'll probably duty-cycle all summer long until late September or early October, depending on weather cycles. At about 65% RH I can smell the difference in some corners of the basement, and my kid's asthma becomes an issue, so I hold the line at 60% (measured with a humidity monitor on the other end of the basement from the dehumidifier, which I tweak to suit.) A 30-pinter would keep up, but they're dramatically less efficient than the bigger units, but there's little incentive to go much bigger than an Energy Star 70.
Hi Dana. Thanks for the input. It's a lot to digest.
Let me clarify a few points.
For loss of power I have a generator that I will connect the circuit for the outlet for the sump pump via the transfer switch. That should take care of that. Of course, that entails that I am home to be able to crank up the generator so I'll take that chance.
I plan on using carpet tiles. These are the FLOR tiles and are connected to each other via small stickers - there is no glue at all and nothing actually binds to the concrete itself. It just sits on it.
I was considering maybe this product as it would seem to suit my needs -
$219 for 332sq feet.
I have a 7' ceiling so raising it up 1 3/8" with R8 I would like to avoid. The superseal product is 1/8" high.
I only have a few tiny spots where I see water coming *through* the floor - and these were due to someone nailing studs into the concrete for the finished side (that I gutted) for the framing. I think I can address with this some concrete epoxy patch such as the PC products one here:
Otherwise I have never seen water come up through the concrete other than that water main cutout in the original post pic.
Here are some pics of the dampness I see in the raw cinderblock wall as well as the floor.
In the last pic you can see I had some carbon fiber reinforcements put in. The south side foundation wall is buckled about 1/2" from plumb. When they prepped the wall for the carbon fiber they saw dampness as you can see in the pic. This is due to a leaking front stoop that I will address as well.
I will do as you say and fill in the sump with pea gravel and construct a cover for that as well as the water main cutout. I can use the home depot lid and cut out a hole for the pipe.
Thanks for the building science read. That was very informative as well.
No matter how well you waterproof the slab, your subsoil temps are too low to get away with any type of carpet without at least some real R-value between the carpet & slab- there's no way to really cheat the physics. Carpets are insulating, and at the ~50F Tarrytown subsoil temp the relative humidity deep in the carpet will be high enough to support mold unless you mechanically lower the relative humidity of the room air to ~25-30% (well under a 40F dew point), the lower-limit of what's even healthy & comfortable for humans. Dehumidifying to that level also uses a lot of electricity, since that's at the lower-temp dew point end of what's achievable with standard dehumidifers (since the coil can't run too close to the freezing point without icing up.)
Hopefully you've dealt with the exterior grading and drainage issues to move bulk water away from the foundation(?), since that's a primary source of basement moisture. Even if you never finish the basement it's well worth air-sealing and insulating the foundtion walls including the foundation sill & band-joist. Fixing the moisture issues has to happen first though, and you can't just slap up a studwall with batts or you'll create a mold nightmare, even after the bulk water issues are addressed. A couple inches of rigid EPS faom against the foundation wall, seams & edges mastic or can-foam sealed, trapped in place with a studwall with UNFACED rock wool or fiberglass batts works. An inch or two of foam underneath the bottom plate of the studwall is needed too, as a capillary & thermal break from the cold-damp slab.There are other options too, which I can elaborate on if you're going there. In otherwise reasonably insulated homes, the heat losses through uninsulated foundations (even if not directly heated) often exceed 20% of the total heat load, sometimes more than 30%. Insulating & air sealing the foundation & band joist took close to 20% off my heating fuel use, but I've seen other homes where it was quite a bit more, and it raised the average mid-winter temp of my basement by more than 5F, lowering the the average RH.
In most basements the concrete floor is poured right up to the water and drain lines. I would not hesitate for a second to wrap the pipe with a sleeve and pour and finish the concrete where it is missing.
The only time I've had to open up mine was after my then 2-year old made a game of flushing some laundry down the toilet, only discovered after sewage from flushing backed up at the actual laundry area basin, overfilling and spilling onto the basement floor. You can bet I was happy to not be hammer-drilling through a slab in a couple inches of raw sewage to gain access to the trap, eh? (Yeah, it was pretty disgusting- the stinky shredded clothing plugging the trap being the least of it.)
Ha. Well I filled the sump pump with some bluestone gravel I had from when I had my driveway paved with asphalt. It's about the same size as pea gravel so why not use it. Filled it about 1" from the top or so and then covered with concrete mix from HD.
It took almost 4 full buckets of gravel to fill it up #(&*@#$(*&@$.
I drilled a 2" hole for the 1.5" ID PVC (pipe measures 1 7/8" OD) and then drilled a little side hole for the electrical cord.
Now I can still lift the cover if I need to actuate it manually. Knock on wood this thing works for a while.
Also covered up the water main area with some 1" rigid foam and some 2x4s for some weight. Not a perfect seal but I have the dang water pipe and the grounding wire to deal with. Any suggestions on how to fill the small gap in the rear (can't really see in the pic though)? This whole corner of the basement kind of stinks sometimes. I hope that doesn't mean I have some kind of sewer pipe issue.
With the 2x4s the foam sits pretty tight to the concrete. I might even consider caulking the edge since that will still enable me to yank it up if necessary. What do you think?
Sure, go ahead and caulk the rigid foam to the concrete & piping- it can only help.
Plumber came by to finish the condensate drain for the tankless heater today...and popped open the trap cleanouts (street and house).
Interestingly, the water that had pooled up in the exposed area disappeared and didn't return.
I would have thought that if it was the water table the water would have came right back.
The house cap was damaged and was replaced.
P.s. trap was clean btw.
Only comment I have is I'd have put in a larger sump pit before making it all pretty. Most sump pump failures are due to the switch failing. With that small of a pit I can't imagine the pump runs for than 10sec before it's empty. How often does your pump run?
When I first put it in...it would trigger, empty the bucket in 2-3 seconds.....trigger again...repeat....
It doesn't run that often at all whenever I am in the basement. I don't notice it.
But I can see standing water that isn't high enough to trigger the float.

Malaysia Airlines & MasterCard Treat A Priceless Journey To The Top Spenders
Subang, Wednesday, (4 January 2012) : Malaysia Airlines and MasterCard recently treated top spenders for their continuous support with a trip to Langkawi Island with the theme "A Priceless Journey to The Island of Sun, Sea and Sand". It was held for two days one night at the exclusive relaxing getaway; The Danna Resort.
Thirty top spenders were invited to this rewarding trip, selected based on the highest spend on Malaysia Airlines flight tickets using MasterCard credit card.
The guests started off their journey from KLIA on Malaysia Airlines, enjoying the national carrier's award-winning Malaysian Hospitality services. Upon arrival in Langkawi airport, they were greeted with Hawaiian flower garlands, followed by a warm welcome reception at the resort complete with refreshments and a cultural dance troupe performance. They were later invited to lunch in the Cliff Restaurant, facing the clear blue waters of the Andaman Sea.
On the hospitality agenda was a visit to one of Langkawi's major attractions, the Panorama Langkawi cable car. The cable car provides an aerial link from Teluk Burau to the peak of Gunung Machinchang where the Sky Bridge is located. There, the winners enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of Langkawi and its lush tropical rainforests.
The highlight of the evening started when all participants attended the dinner at the resort's beachfront. The dinner kicked off with a contemporary performance by a pair of synchronized swimmers in the hotel's swimming pool. This unique performance earned the biggest applause from the audience for the night. The guests were then entertained by Joanne Ng, a local band, and Joanne Yeoh, the renowned Malaysian violinist who left the crowd in awe during the dinner session.
Speaking during the dinner, Malaysia Airlines Regional Vice President Sales Malaysia, Azman Ahmad said, "Throughout the last 5 years, we have been working closely with MasterCard to serve the community, promote business and tourism, providing excellent connectivity with our flavour of Malaysian Hospitality. We thank MasterCard and the top spenders for their confidence and support for Malaysia Airlines. We hope to continue the long term relationship with MasterCard and continue to reward the highest spenders with similar events".
Jim Cheah, Vice President and Senior Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei MasterCard Worldwide said, "A big thank you to Malaysia Airlines for working together with us, in organizing this trip. The exclusivity of this weekend, from the premium airline comforts on Malaysia Airlines this morning to the lunch facing the clear blue water of the Andaman Sea at The Cliff Restaurant and tonight's sunset dinner, is really a taste of the World's MasterCard unique and priceless experience. I really hope you have enjoyed this experience with MasterCard, thus far. Thanks once again for your support".
The organisers also had some dinner games such as Bingo to give out prizes to the lucky guests. Subsequently, all the guests were given the chance to become fashion designers and create their very own batik painting as souvenirs to take home. Every guest enjoyed the batik painting session.
One of the participants; Ms Tan Sheau Mei said. "I and my sister really enjoy this exclusive trip. This would be one of the most amazing trips that I have ever had. It made us feel so special."
At the end of the night, the top spenders were invited to sit at the beach around a bonfire over shisha and refreshing drinks. This was followed by a special firework performance lighting up the starry sky as a perfect end to the night. The entourage returned the next afternoon with fond memories of the exemplary rewarding experience by Malaysia Airlines and MasterCard.
Malaysia Airlines and MasterCard have jointly organized a rewards program for their top spenders for the past two years. The event hosted in 2010 was called the Unforgettable Arabian Night, which featured flying the top spenders to Pulai Springs, Johor whilst having the first in Malaysia, stand-up comedy on air.

You've entrusted James Madison University with your most valued treasure: your child. It's a role we take seriously. The Office of Parent Relations is here to partner with you in preparing your student to become an educated and enlightened citizen who will lead a productive and meaningful life.
Use this site to locate resources for parents and family members of JMU students and find information on the annual Family Weekend, Parents Council, send-off picnics, and other activities.
Have a student trying to get home? We can help with that. Planning a visit to JMU? We have information on that, too.
Keep in touch with what's happening at the university through JMU news, The Breeze, Madison magazine, and more. Parents also receive the Madison Family Connection e-newsletter. Register your e-mail here.
JMU is changing the world — one person at a time. Learn about our mission, academic programs, national rankings, and get information on tuition and fees.
WHAT: The JMU Parents Council provides an opportunity to participate in the university's dynamic programs. Formed in 1978, the council involves parents in JMU affairs and provides a forum for exchanging information about JMU activities and programs.
WHO: Council members represent each of the four classes and are eligible to serve for four years or until their children are no longer enrolled at JMU. Both married couples and single parents can be members.
PURPOSE: The Parents Council serves as a liaison between the university and parents, provides advice and guidance to the Division of University Advancement on programs related to parents, and serves as an effective spokesperson and advocate for the university.
RESPONSIBILITIES: JMU Parents Council members must participate in the Parents Fund and attend the meeting held on the Friday of Family Weekend in the fall and/or the spring meeting. Council members serve on one of five subcommittees: academics, enrollment services, finance and physical development, resource development or student life. Guest speakers, including administrators, coaches, faculty members and students, are invited to the meetings to discuss various aspects of campus life.
Parents Council members serve as hosts at their geographic area's Freshman Send-Off Picnic. Held each year in July and August, the picnics are an opportunity for the council members to meet JMU's newest Dukes and to answer any last-minute questions from the freshmen parents.
Parents Council members participate in at least one of the three JMU admission's "Choices" programs for admitted freshmen and their families to come and explore the JMU campus for a day. The prospective students interact with university admin-istrators, professors and students; learn more about academic programs; and become familiar with student support services. Council members have the opportunity to talk with parents of prospective students to encourage enrollment.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES: Parents Council members have other opportunities for involvement including assisting at job fairs, recruitment efforts and regional receptions, and contacting legislators.
If you are interested in being considered for membership, please complete the attached application. Applicants will be selected for telephone interviews conducted by the council chairpersons. Final selection and notification will take place by the end of August.
Today's Date: April 24, 2014

Skybound's Big Move
Skybound has moved into new offices, and it's been quite a group effort getting them set up. We've all been pitching in to get the place furnished, decorated, and properly zombie-proofed. But hard work has paid off, and we are almost finished. Best of all, after what seemed like years of watching the movers carry boxes, the empty warehouse is now nearly full. It's like Raiders of the Lost Ark, except instead of strange supernatural items, we have well, um…strange supernatural items. Ok, I'm exaggerating a tad, but still, there's lots of awesome stuff here!
I also learned that opting to assemble my desk myself was a bad decision. What looks like a simple task ends up taking about 3 hours, especially when you have Shawn, Sina and Chad and Helen offering commentary from the peanut gallery. JJ even stepped out of his office to chuckle at the spectacle. But eventually they came to my rescue and we got it done. Yay teamwork!

Thanks to Peapod, the future of grocery shopping is finally here–in a campaign that merges the convenience Peapod offers through their internet ordering and delivery services with a shopper's smartphone. How? Easy: point and scan, no customer service clerk required.
The campaign stretches all across the U.S., littering 100 subway stations with digital billboards mimicking mini-grocery aisles displaying up to 50 products, each complete with a picture, price, and an easily scannable barcode. Once the barcode is scanned using the shopper's smartphone, the product is then added to their Peapod list.
For busy urban commuters, this is the grocery shopping dream: no waiting in line and no trekking to and from the store via public transportation. And in addition to eliminating the difficulties of shopping in large urban areas without a car through delivery services, the app gives commuters the opportunity to shop during a mundane part of their day–waiting for the train. Considering that the core Peapod customer spends over an hour on public transportation each day, with this app, it'll never be less of a big deal to remember you're out of milk.
The real beauty of the application is that it functions as both an ad for the Peapod mobile app, as well as working on a functional level in its enticement of potential shoppers. All in all, an interactive win/win. Curious to see this commuter magic work without visiting your local train station? See the app in action, below, courtesy of Titan Worldwide:
Having already revolutionized grocery shopping through delivery services and the internet, it wasn't long before Peapod hopped on the mobile train. So far, they're navigating the track pretty well.

Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering
The Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering program is intended for the engineer who desires a part-time graduate environmental engineering program. Potential students who do not have an undergraduate engineering degree, but hold a baccalaureate degree in a related scientific field such as chemistry, microbiology, or environmental science may be admitted to the program but will need to take prerequisite undergraduate courses. This degree program complements the Environmental Pollution Control graduate programs (M.E.P.C. and M.S.) offered by the same faculty.
Civil and environmental engineering courses are offered regularly, as are specialty courses in environmental policy, other engineering areas, computer science, and other policy-related areas.
Degree Conferred: M. Eng.
Program Requirements for Admission
|More Information
|A junior/senior grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Exceptions to this minimum may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, or other qualifications.
|Applicants are strongly suggested to present an undergraduate degree in engineering from an accredited program. However, those with an undergraduate degree in a related scientific field may be considered for admission. Those students will need to take additional engineering courses in order to be adequately prepared.
|Supporting Materials
Application Deadline
This program has rolling admission, that is, no specific deadline. Note that it may take 4-6 weeks to receive transcripts and process an application.
Application Process
Gather supporting materials and begin the standard graduate application.
Degree Requirements
A minimum of 30 credits is required for the degree. All candidates are required to take a core course in each of the four environmental areas: air, water, solid waste management, and policy/risk. The program suggests that students take the following courses to meet the first three area requirements. Please note that graduate standing may be considered in lieu of prerequisites:
- ENVE 470 AIR QUALITY (3). Prerequisite: CHEM 301
- ENVE 411 WATER SUPPLY AND POLLUTION CONTROL (3). Prerequisite: CHEM 301, ENVE 301W
- ENVE 424 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT (3). Prerequisite: seventh semester standing
The College regularly offers several courses which meet the fourth area requirement of policy/risk, including: ENVE 460 Environmental Law (prerequisite: senior standing, graduate standing, or permission of the program); ENVE 569 Environmental Risk Assessment; and P ADM 531 Environmental Policy.
Courses in the degree program may be taken at the 400 or 500 level, but a minimum of 18 credits must be at the 500 level or above. All students must take at least 1 credit of EPC 590 Seminar and complete a scholarly master's paper (3 credits). The seminar and the paper count toward the 500-level requirement. All students must complete a total of 30 credits to earn the degree.
For a list of courses, visit the web at http://www.psu.edu/bulletins/whitebook/
Supporting Courses
The program maintains a list of supporting courses and a tentative multi-year schedule of when those courses are to be offered:
Graduate Course Tentative Schedule
The graduate student should consult with their adviser on the appropriate courses to take consistent with their education goals.

What the... Is that an expansion title behind those guys? What does it say?
What the... Is that an expansion title behind those guys? What does it say?
"Good morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out farther than the brim of his shady hat.
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
"All of them at once," said Bilbo.
It's definitely a new title which we don't know :P
The letter I think I can somewhat see and the X are unknown :
Not sure what word or words you can form with that :P
Seems the logo is photoshopped though, some dead pixels around the borders if I'm not blind.

LMFAO....you people....it's a sign in their building that says "WORLD OF WARCRAFT: DEVELOPMENT"......you know...the development wing....
Good lord....that icon was out ages ago.
Excuse me, are you saying something? Nah, you can't tell me nothing
Looks like the standard one but in higher def.
Seems logical that if they'd update it to not use an expansion specific one too, as the current one is ending.

Yeah, it clearly says "DEVELOPMENT". Behind the second guy is the curve of the "D" and the "E", behind third guy is "V-E-L" and most of the "O", then "P", then "M" is behind the fourth guy, and "E-N-T"
bingo right here, says Development team to be exact.

Who cares if you make mention of a meme after your pertinent post? Chill the f*ck out mods.
EDIT: To avoid infraction from power tripping mod: The icon is just reverted to the original. Nothing to see here, folks. No hints.

In spite of dropping three of the past four contests, the Jets pass-rush has come to life in recent weeks. Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is finally living up to the hype with the former first round pick has amassed three forced fumbles, two sacks and a fumble return for a touchdown over the past five games. New York will need Wilkerson to lead the charge and disrupt Tom Brady's rhythm in the pocket if they hope of pulling the upset.
With tight end Ron Gronkowski out of the starting lineup, Brady's favorite target Wes Welker has been a thorn in the Jets' side over the course of his career. Following their Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Gang Green placed cornerback Isaiah Trufant on the injured reserve list, a diminutive defensive back who stymied Welker in the team's prior meeting up in Foxborough. Rex Ryan will need to mix up his coverage scheme and limit Welker's space to work in the open field.
The Patriots are the NFL's No. 5 rushing offense averaging less than 143 yards per contest. While the Jets struggled in the early season to stop the run, Ryan's defensive front has made great strides of late. While Brady's vaunted passing attack will capture the attention of New York's coaching staff, New England's running game can wreak havoc and become a major factor in the outcome of the game.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Cool Kids Care
Your Rating
Suitable for ages five and up, this presentation by children's entertainer Greg Wood uses simple sleight-of-hand magic tricks to entertain the kiddies while talking to them about bullying, as well as what is caring behaviour and what isn't.
Wood has been doing this sort of thing for 20 years, and it shows, as he manages to engage a large audience of varying little personality types, ranging from the shy kids to the young guys who decided they were critics/hecklers and would not be impressed, to the ones practically begging to get onstage to help.
It's a straightforward show, which may be a little simple for older children, but great for the younger ones. And if colourful scarves, yellow happy-face balls, cards with multiplying dots and one of those spinning hypnotizing wheel things can help get the anti-bullying messages across even a little, that's a pretty good trick.
— Janice Sawka
From the Fringe program:
"Cool Kids Care is a highly engaging presentation that targets positive behavior and anti-bullying. Greg's ability to capture and keep an audience's attention allows for his great message to be received and remembered." - Chad Fingler, Principal, St. Mary's School
"The Cool Kids Care presentation really hit home with our staff and students. After asking our staff about the presentation it was unanimous: Money Well Spent! A powerful message delivered in a powerful way." - Chad Lechner, Davison School

The IB Primary Years Programme
The Primary Years Programme: preparing students to be active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.
What is the Primary Years Programme?
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is defined by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subject areas, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry-based learning.
The PYP is flexible enough to accommodate the demands of most national or local curriculums and provides the best preparation for students to engage in the IB Middle Years Programme.
The IB Primary Years Programme
- addresses students' academic, social and emotional well-being
- encourages students to develop independence and to take responsibility for their own learning
- supports students' efforts to gain understanding of the world and to function comfortably within it
- helps students establish personal values as a foundation upon which international-mindedness will develop and flourish.
An aim of the PYP is to create a transdisciplinary curriculum that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant for learners in the 3-12 age range.
Find out more about the PYP's written, taught, and assessed curriculum.
