Golfer Shawn Stefani Plunks Ball Off Sprinkler, Into Hazard But Still Gets Chance at Playable Chip (Video)
Having a shot somehow land on a sprinkler head? Sending a ball into a water hazard, but having it fall on one of the few playable patches in the wet? Sounds like a typical day on the golf course. Shawn Stefani got to experience the classic bad luck-turned-good luck (and maybe bad luck again) all in one play at the TPC San Antonio. After he saw his ball take a wild hop into the air and down into a water hazard thanks to a sprinkler head, he was able to chip out thanks to the fortuitous place his ball landed in the water. His putting, however, left a little more to be desired, and he merely recorded par for the hole. Check it out in the video below.

Before becoming mayor, de Blasio held several positions within local New York government: from 2010-2013, he served as New York City Public Advocate; from 2002-2009, he represented the 39th District on the New York City Council; and in 1999, he was elected to District 15's School Board in Brooklyn. De Blasio also served as Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1997-1998 and managed Hillary Clinton's 2000 New York Senate campaign.[2]
De Blasio was born in New York City. He holds a B.A. from New York University and an M.A. from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.[3]
Below is an abbreviated outline of de Blasio's political career.
- 2014-Present: Mayor of New York
- 2010-2013: New York City Public Advocate
- 2002-2009: Member of the New York City Council, District 39
- 1999: Member of District 15's School Board in Brooklyn
- 1997-1998: Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
De Blasio was elected as Mayor of New York City on November 4, 2013.[4]
Racial Tensions and the NYPD
Initial response
Following a grand jury's decision not to indict a New York City Police Officer responsible for the death of Eric Garner, an African-American male, in early December 2014, de Blasio held a press conference in which he expressed concern for the safety of his son, Dante, who is biracial. De Blasio described Dante as "a good young man, [a] law-abiding young man who would never think to do anything wrong ... [but] because of a history that still hangs over us, the dangers he may face, we've had to literally train him, as families have all over this city for decades, in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him."[5]
De Blasio's comments came amidst the development of a growing protest movement in New York and other cities in the United States centered on the relationship between police and local African American communities. The comments attracted both praise and criticism. Some - including President Barack Obama and New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton - thanked Mayor de Blasio for his words and defended his relationship with the New York Police Department.[6] Bratton noted, "This mayor has been strongly, strongly supportive of the police." Others, however, such as Pat Lynch, the President of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, were highly critical of the comments. Lynch said that de Blasio "threw cops under the bus."[7]
In the days after he made the comments about his son, de Blaio sought to clarify his meaning in an interview on ABC's This Week, saying, "I want to say it the right way, because I think there was so much misunderstanding here ... It's different for a white child. That's just the reality in this country. And with Dante, very early on with my son, we said, 'Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do, don't move suddenly, don't reach for your cellphone.' Because we knew, sadly, there's a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color. We all want to look up to figures of authority. But there's that fear that there could be that one moment of misunderstanding with a young man of color, and that young man may never come back."[8]
Police killings
Tensions between de Blasio and New York City law enforcement associations increased after a lone gunman shot and killed two police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, in Brooklyn on December 20, 2014. Some blamed de Blasio for the deaths of Ramos and Liu, because of statements like the one above and because of his support for the protest movement in New York over the Eric Garner case. Lynch, from the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said, "There's blood on many hands tonight. Those that incited violence on the streets under the guise of protest that tried to tear down what NYPD officers did every day. We tried to warn it must not go on, it cannot be tolerated. That blood on the hands starts at City Hall in the office of the mayor."[9] Edward Mullins, the President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, echoed Lynch's words in a letter to de Blasio, saying, "Mayor de Blasio, the blood of these two officers is clearly on your hands."[10] De Blasio responded to these statements and others in a press conference on December 22, 2014, at the NYPD headquarters: "There will be a time for me to talk about my own personal views. I will simply say I think what [Lynch] said was a mistake, and it was wrong." In regards to the deaths of Ramos and Liu, de Blasio said, "The attack on them was an attack on all of us; it was an attack on our democracy, it was an attack on our values, it was an attack on every single New Yorker, and we have to see it as such."[9]
De Blasio also called for a cessation to protests in the city until after the funerals of Ramos and Liu, saying, "It's a time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things we will talk about in due time."[11]
De Blasio has been married to Chirlane McCray since 1994. They have two children named Chiara and Dante.[12]

Here is a link that might be useful: Vermont house update
jabbahop- lovely just lovely. i've followed your updates & so happy for you & your family! HELLO? those views?! oh my! love the doggies room, the lofts, screened porch, mudroom, love the slate tiles and boy... that master bathroom came out gorgeous. w/ wishes of the best of health & happiness to you & yours.
we are at the drywall stage. hope to be in around Oct (sometime). can't wait for that margarita!!!!!!!!!
I just found your site....what a beautiful home. It looks like you thought of everything and made such fabulous, liveable, stylish choices. I'm wondering, how much does something like this cost--ballpark? You can email me if you don't want to post that...I'm just wondering if I could have such a house if I get out Boston. My other questions is, how long has this project taken? Years? Months??
Overall it was pretty quick. We bought the land in May of '04. Engaged with an architect in June and had plans in late October. Built the driveway from July - October. Foundation was poured in late November and framing started in January. We moved in @ the end of July.
We have found that building here is not much cheaper than California where we came from. The big difference is the cost of land. Materials are just as expensive. Labor is a might be a bit cheaper overall but not significantly since Vermont doesn't have a big undocumented workforce that exists in California.
In the end you get what you pay for. We could have skimped and spent less than what we are getting but ours is completely custom with top quality materials and building practices so it will last and be comfy in the Vermont winters. We also have spent A LOT on the site work given we are off the road and up on a rocky ledge.
For building of the house (not including the road, site work and landscaping) we spent about $600K + built-ins and allowances. We have a lot of extra built-ins and details like porches, lofts, basement, radiant heat, generator, etc. that are great but added to the overall cost. BTW - this doesn't include the barn/garage space.
Hope that helps.
jabbahop, just reviewed the photo's of your new home. It is absolutely lovely. Wanted to ask, if I may, what is the paint color in Kellen's BR and the master bath. They look like RH Silver Sage, but wasn't sure.
Also, one thing jumped out at me that I thought hhhmmmm, one day she may question this decision. I'm speaking of the white front and white stools on the kitchen counter where I'm sure those darling boys of yours sit to eat, etc. Have you had to repaint that wall yet? LOL If you have any updated photo's I'd love to see them as I'm sure others would too. Thanks
thanks for your nice comments.
Going into our 3rd year here and we still love it. Those touches you point out are what really make it feel like ours.
This summer we added a couple of new things - a big garden shed - for bikes and gardening implements, and a basketball court - for the kids (well really more for me!).

Mr.AahH!! (iPhone)
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionMr.AahH!! is a 2D platforming game where the the player's timing and precision skills are put to the test. In this game, you play the titular character whose main goal is to progress the game's levels by swinging and jumping onto platforms of different shapes and sizes, gradually getting more difficult to land on. In order to progress, the player needs to tap the screen once for Mr. AahH to launch a rope into the ceiling, causing him to swing towards the platform. Then, at the right moment the player needs to tap again to release him and get him to land; not timing your taps correctly can lead to your character to miss the platform and lose a life.
Not only do the platforms become thinner and further apart, but natural forces are also working against you, causing elements such as wind force and gravity to change at nearly every stage, causing the way you jump to constantly change. Players have only 3 lives to land on as many platforms as possible in a game with over 20 levels of varying difficulty.
There are no iPhone screenshots for this game.

Esbat al-Nour leader dies of wounds
Expand Messages
- Esbat al-Nour leader dies of wounds
Mohammed Zaatari
Daily Star correspondent
Abdullah Shreidi, 24, the leader of the Palestinian faction Esbat al-Nour that
fought the Fatah group for the control of Sidon's Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp two
months ago, has died from severe chest wounds sustained in the fighting.
Shreidi passed away Wednesday at dawn and his death has created unrest in the
camp. A security source within the camp reported high tension between
Palestinian factions, saying all armed factions including the Lebanese Army,
which guards the camp's entrances were on high alert for fear of retaliation
by factions loyal to Shreidi.
Meanwhile, Palestinian factions met at the camp to discuss whether Shreidi
should be buried at a graveyard within the camp or outside it. They decided it
was in everyone's interest to bury Shreidi outside the camp, at the New Sidon
Graveyard in the Sirop area.
Sheikh Maher Hammoud, a prominent cleric in the camp, conferred with several
political and security leaders to ensure Shreidi's funeral procession and burial
would take place without complications.
About 200 Lebanese soldiers were posted on the road from the camp's entrance to
the cemetery. At the army checkpoint east of the camp the funeral procession was
allowed to pass without army inspections.
"They did not identify the dead nor did they make sure there were any weapons
being smuggled out of the camp," sources at the camp said.
Shreidi was buried at around 5pm Wednesday.
Esbat al-Nour is a splinter faction from Esbat al-Ansar, which was originally
formed by the deceased's father, Sheikh Hisham Shreidi. Esbat al-Ansar's current
leader, Abdel-Karim Saadi (aka Abu Mehjan), is wanted in Lebanon and abroad on
several charges of manslaughter.
Abu Mehjan's brother, Abu Tarek, contacted members of Esbat al-Nour following
the death of Shreidi and worked on avoiding any clashes that could destabilize
the camp.
However, Fatah's commander at the Ain al-Hilweh camp, Maher Shabayta, denied the
possibility of clashes between any factions, saying: "The primary reason for the
clashes was Abdullah Shreidi. Now that he is gone we no longer have any reason
to fight among us."
About a year ago, the Fatah group, the biggest in the camp, blamed a series of
explosions on Shreidi. Fatah strongman Brigadier Sultan Abul-Ainayn then ordered
his fighters to "kill Shreidi, wherever he is found."
Shreidi was ambushed and wounded some two months ago by Fatah while returning
from a funeral. In the ensuing fighting Shreidi's bodyguard, his cousin and four
Fatah militiamen were killed.
Palestinian Islamic forces commander Sheikh Jamal Khattab said at Shreidi's
burial, "We have footed the bill beforehand and Shreidi's death is part of that
bill . logic demands we cross this hurdle because in the end we are all losers."
