solid visor - no noticeable compromises
This is a light and collapsible visor I found very convenient for summer hikes. It doesn't do much for keeping sweat off your brow but obviously less stuffy than a standard cap.
RiverRafter - December 29 2010
Great Visor, Doesn't Adjust
I like that it folds down well, that it minimizes glare, that it's lightweight and high quality. I don't like that it doesn't adjust in size- it's a bit too big and makes me nervous of losing it if I swim even if I use a hat clip.
Kalle - December 22 2009
Above average visor
The visor is adjustable and folds nicely. The one drawback I've found with most visors is the brims could be designed larger to block the sun's rays. The whole apparel industry must be stuffed with uninteresting business men that do not consider, in detail, the function of their items being produced. The logos mean nothing.
alapierre - October 21 2009
Great Price & Great Product!
I used this product countless times this summer during my training which consisted of hiking, trail running and road running. The fit of the visor was comfortable and the TransAction headband kept the sweet out of my eyes. The best feature of this visor is the folding bill. I could easily stash it in my pocket or tuck it into a mesh pocket on my pack without worry. I have also machine washed this visor many times and it has held up without worry.

Recipe by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
"Beginning with my Fast Chicken Soup Base it is easy to knock hours off of the cooking time usually needed for homemade chicken soup and still end up with soup that tastes even better than the 'from scratch' method. With a little creativity you can easily make two varieties of these soul-satisfying meals."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 recipe Fast Chicken Soup Base
2 (16 ounce) cans white beans, drained
1 cup small pasta, such as ditalini
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
if you want added spicyness, use a can of diced tomatoes with green chillies. the white beans & broth compliment this nicely i used italian spices, and a pince of turmeric & garam masala insttead of rosemary. I also used tortelini instead of small pasta. delicious!
6 Ratings
Very good, I use the small soup pastas all the time anyway, my family prefers them over noodles. The whit ebeans giv eit more protein too!
This was surprisingly delicious and very authentic tasting. I just changed a couple of things. I started with chicken broth in a box, used 'Italian' tomatoes with garlic, basil and onions and tossed in a can of chunk chicken white meat. Also added some garlic. A great emergency meal from the cupboard.
This is a great recipe. I did not use the Fast Chicken Stock recipe -- used Better Than Boullion brand chicken base, cooked two skinless chicken breasts in the pressure cooker with the tomatoes and herbs (used fresh rosemary and dried thyme) and added two cloves of fresh garlic. Added the white beans, pasta and a little salt/pepper when the chicken was cooked. It was really good -- especially on a chilly night! I made this a second time today and doubled the recipe. This time did not put chicken in it. It was declicious. Again, used fresh garlic sauteed in olive oil. This time added some white wine and a little bit of oregano as well. Wonderful!
I used orzo pasta in my homemade chicken broth, and instead of using canned tomatoes I diced some plum tomatoes from the garden. This is very simple and very good.

Species Authority: | (LeConte, 1825) | |||
Common Name/s:
Synonym/s: |
Lithobates sylvatica LeConte, 1825
Rana sylvatica LeConte, 1825
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2004 |
Date Assessed: | 2004-04-30 |
Assessor/s: | Geoffrey Hammerson |
Reviewer/s: | Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young) |
Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. |
Range Description: | This species occurs in northern North America from Alaska to Labrador (Chubbs and Phillips 1998), south to New Jersey, northern Georgia, and northern Idaho; spotty distribution south to northern Colorado in Rocky Mountains; also disjunctive populations in Arkansas-Missouri (Stebbins 1985, Conant and Collins 1991). Ranges farther north than any other North American amphibian. |
Countries: | Native: Canada; United States |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | It is abundant and widespread. |
Population Trend: | Stable |
Habitat and Ecology: | It occurs in various kinds of forest/woodland habitats; edges of ponds and streams; also willow thickets and grass/willow/aspen associations. When inactive, hides in logs, humus, leaf-litter, or under logs and rocks. Eggs are laid and larvae develop usually in small fish-free ponds, temporary or permanent, in wooded (usually) or open areas. In the Shenandoah Mountains, breeding adults were 100% faithful to the ponds in which they first bred; approximately 18% of the juveniles dispersed to breed in ponds other than the one of origin (Berven and Grudzien 1991). Experiments and field observations by Hopey and Petranka (1994) indicate that adults are able to assess the presence of fishes in ponds and may change breeding sites accordingly to avoid those with predatory fishes. In northern Minnesota, successful reproduction in acidic bog water either does not occur or is a rare event (Karns 1992). |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | Not threatened overall, but threats to local populations include intensive timber harvesting practices that reduce canopy closure, understorey vegetation, uncompacted forest litter, or coarse woody debris (moderately to well-decayed) in areas surrounding breeding sites (deMaynadier and Hunter 1999). Negative impacts of intensive timber harvesting extend at least 25-35m into uncut forest (deMaynadier and Hunter 1998). Not likely to be at risk from present acidification inputs in the Rocky Mountains (Corn and Vertucci 1992). |
Conservation Actions: | None needed. It occurs in many protected areas. |

Hanoi, January 14, 2014 -- Minister of Ministry of Planning and Investment, Bui Quang Vinh;
Vice Minister of Justice Hoang The Lien;
Representatives of the National Assembly, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MPI and Ministry of Justice;
Development Partners;
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is my pleasure to be here today to launch the next phase of development cooperation between the United States and Vietnam. USAID's development work has played a pivotal role in advancing the relationship between our two countries. The Country Development Cooperation Strategy launched today, outlines a shared vision and continued partnership to address Vietnam's development needs over the next five years.
This strategy will help fulfill key priorities of the U.S.-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership concluded by President Obama and President Sang in July 2013. The U.S. government will partner with Vietnam, and other development partners to provide new investments in climate change, we will establish key private sector partnerships to improve education opportunities, promote greater economic exchange, and support young entrepreneurs. We will address common environment, health, and war legacy issues.
The objectives of the five-year strategy are threefold:
1. broader, sustainable growth;
2. increased human capacity;
3. and advancement of the U.S-Vietnam partnership
This strategy employs all of our diplomatic tools to support greater development cooperation in Vietnam. To encourage broader, sustainable growth, we will build on past success. Our bilateral trade has grown 50-fold since 1995, to more than $25 billion a year in 2012. Part of that growth is based on our ability to improve the trade and competitiveness environment through programs such as the Provincial Competitiveness Index and STAR.
Vietnam is poised to become one of the United States' leading economic partners in the region. The next era of bilateral trade growth will be ushered in upon the completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP will maintain the momentum created for market reforms, for modernization, and for regional integration. Later this morning, both sides will take a key step by signing USAID's $42 million "Governance for Inclusive Growth" MOU. This program is an investment in broad-based and sustainable growth that will help implement the Trans-Pacific Partnership upon completion.
Ensuring broad, sustainable growth will be predicated upon Vietnam's ability to combat climate change. The United States and Vietnam are cooperating at many levels and with greater urgency to strengthen Vietnam's response to climate change. During U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's visit to Vietnam in December, he announced an initial commitment of $17 million for USAID's Vietnam Forest and Deltas Program. This is concrete action toward helping Vietnamese communities reverse environmental degradation and adapt to climate change.
To increase human capacity, we have worked closely with Vietnam to prepare more effectively for natural disasters, as of part this, we have provided emergency managers the necessary tools to better understand the potential impact of storms and floods and communicate with affected communities. Since 2011 over 500 representatives from 350 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have been trained to plan and prepare for natural disasters through disaster risk management planning.
To encourage greater economic and social inclusion, we will build on the successful model of The Blue Ribbon Employment Council for engaging the private sector to provide economic opportunities for people living with disabilities. Membership now tops 160 local and international companies and more than 1,600 people with disabilities across Vietnam securing jobs.
This strategy will keep us on course to pursue development in a way that's sustainable for our environment, for our economies, and for our climate, and for our people. I look forward to our governments' continued progress on these important challenges, and the United States looks forward to continued partnership with the government, organizations and people of Vietnam. Together we are making major strides towards a strong, prosperous and independent Vietnam that continues its transformation into a more responsible, inclusive partner.
Thank you.

Middle finger lawsuit: Judge says woman can keep middle finger lights up
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A federal judge says a Louisiana woman has the right to display holiday lights on her roof in the form of an extended middle finger.
Sarah Childs sued Denham Springs, its mayor and police chief, claiming she was threatened with arrest if she didn't take down the display.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana filed the suit Thursday on Childs' behalf. Soon after, U.S. District Judge James Brady issued a temporary restraining order barring officials from interfering with the display in the city near Baton Rouge.
Childs erected the lights last month as part of a continuing dispute with her neighbors. She says she has removed them twice after one police officer told her she could be fined and another threatened to arrest her.

Jay Chou gets slammed for comments on Gangnam Style
Taiwanese multihyphenate Jay Chou recently got slammed by netizens across Asia for his strongly-worded comments on the global hit Gangnam Style. The 33-year-old apparently called the 'horse dance' moves "old-fashioned," which resulted in much backlash.
Alhough the multi-talented singer gained recognition in South Korea after his self-directed film Secret was shown in the country previously, he has been criticized as "crazy" by the angered fans this time. Some have also reprimanded Jay for being "simply jealous of PSY."
"Gangnam Style may be humourous, but Chinese music is even better. All the artistes should unite and not ride on the Hallyu wave anymore," he rallied, when asked on the song that has taken the world by storm.
PSY's phenomenal track not only kicked off worldwide 'horse dance' frenzy, the song also stayed on the Billboard chart for five weeks and earned a record-breaking 940 million views for its music video. Even international stars such as Madonna and Justin Bieber have their own renditions of Gangnam Style.
Jay was asked to comment on the topic again at the press conference for his new album Opus 12, where he said, "Horse dance? Actually, I did it years ago during Cowboy on the Run."
Fans have pointed out that aside from the horse stable seen in the background of the music videos, the two songs and the dance moves are completely different.
Jay's management company JVR Music has declined to comment on this issue.

"He didn't score, but he still played well and did things a lot of people don't see,'' said coach Bob Huggins. "But I've said all along, we need at least two of those three [veterans: Jones, Bryant and Kilicli] to play well. And we had two.''
The final score likely would have been much more lopsided had Miami not shot the lights out early, which prevented West Virginia from taking its first lead until early in the second half. Part of that Huggins naturally blamed on WVU's defensive effort, but some of it was just silly shooting by the Hurricanes (5-4).
Take Kenny Kadji, for example. The 6-foot-11 sophomore from Cameroon came into the game having taken three 3-point shots in his career without making one. He's also a 38.9 percent free-throw shooter. In that first half, he shot a pair of 3s and made both. He finished the game with three 3s in as many tries, and scored 15 points.
Then there was Garrius Adams. He actually does shoot 3s regularly, he just hasn't been making many, going a combined 4-for-16 since mid-November. He was 3-for-3 in the first 20 minutes and 4-for-6 for the game and had 15 points. Throw in some street ball shots from Malcolm Grant (17 points) and Miami's first-half leads of as many as eight points were understandable.
"He's usually a 15-foot guy,'' Kilicli said of Kadji. "We're not going to lose because he shoots five 3s. As long as we took care of Grant and their scorers, we were going to be OK.''
And in the second half he was right. After starting the game 5-for-7 on 3s, Miami went 4-for-16 and came back to earth. And that was also the time Bryant and the Mountaineers began putting things together. When the Mountaineers did put it together, it was impressive - a 27-3 run that turned a 37-33 deficit late in the first half into a 60-40 blowout 81/2 minutes into the second. Bryant had 12 of the first 17 second-half points for both teams combined and it was never close again.
"I just needed that one good game to get me going,'' said Bryant, who had 24 points in Thursday's win at Kansas State. "Now that it's going, I don't want it to stop.''
Well, it will stop for a while, at least. After playing two games in three days, the Mountaineers don't have another one for seven, until next Saturday's home game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

India Wakes Up to Child Malnutrition 'Shame,' Begins to Make Progress (Banswara, India)
Fewer than half of Indian children start nursing within their first 24 hours, receiving water rather than the early, antibody-rich breast milk that helps protect against infections, and most spend their first few years subsisting on protein- and vitamin-poor diets of just rice or bread. The fact that economic growth has still not trickled down to the poorest communities and the low status of Indian women are also major factors.
In Banswara, village health workers blame rampant malnutrition on the prevalence of child marriages. Sundari, Jitendra's mother, got married at the age of 13 to a man she describes as a "good for nothing drunkard." She said she spends most of her day cooking, washing, cleaning and fetching firewood or water for her in-laws, or trying to earn money as a day laborer in local fields.
Even now, India's progress in fighting malnutrition fails to impress many experts.
Save the Children and World Vision recently ranked India alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo and Yemen at the bottom of a global Nutrition Barometer for its commitment and performance.
While the nation frets constantly about whether economic growth and the stock market are up or down, the government has not collected data on child malnutrition since 2004 — something Purnima Menon of the International Food Policy Research Institute calls "mind-boggling."
Last month, India's president and a leading Bollywood actor launched a national publicity campaign to combat malnutrition. The government has also promised a huge rise in health-care spending during the next five years.
Nevertheless, experts say the government still lacks a coherent plan to overcome the shortcomings of the child health program, which depends on village health workers who are overburdened and poorly educated, trained and paid.
Spending comes easily to the government, critics say, but setting up mechanisms to monitor performance and raise accountability seems far less instinctive. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Women and Child Development remains a junior cabinet post, a department where few civil servants want to work, said A.K. Shiva Kumar, an independent adviser to the government on development.
"The problem of malnutrition is not visible or in your face," he said. "The political attraction of working on nutrition is very low. It doesn't really sell."

The camps are designed to be fun, educational and hands-on and to incorporate the Fleet's exhibit galleries.

WHAT? Mrs. Sprat's preferred bacon. Writing in The Food of Italy about the Italian Alps region, Waverly Root called speck "the ultimate in pork preparation." Its preparation, incidentally, can't be hurried. The meat is slowly smoked over several months for a few hours a day. "The theory is that if the smoking were done all at the same time," Root writes, "only the outer layer of meat would be really smoked, whereas the slower process smokes it through and through." Cold temperatures and high altitudes also contribute to the process. Speck yields large quantities of fat when rendered. The fat is occasionally poured over bread or used to fry potatoes, and the speck itself is often used as a garnish. WHERE?

I was thrilled to find this old favorite at FragranceX, it has become very hard to find. Fell in love with it 20 years ago and it still smells as breathtakingly lovely as I remembered it. It is a typical, classic complex blend that's so very French. It has so many layers that one is constantly discovering lovely nuances as the head notes give way to the heart notes and so on. Word of advice - don't bathe in it, a little goes a long way. Better to re-apply to refresh rather than put a lot on at first. It can come on strong & has made me sneeze before I figured that out!

New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof visited Jackson, Ky., and discovered something he could have learned in Harlem: Anti-poverty programs promote behaviors that continue poverty from generation to generation.
"Moms and dads fear that if kids learn to read, they are less likely to qualify for a monthly check for having an intellectual disability," Kristof wrote.
A monthly Supplemental Security Income check of $698 per "disabled" child is great incentive to keep a child from doing well in school.
There's more.
"Anti-poverty programs also discourage marriage: In a means-tested program like SSI, a woman raising a child may receive a bigger check if she refrains from marrying that hard-working guy she likes," he wrote. "Yet marriage is one of the best forces to blunt poverty. In married couple households only one child in 10 grows up in poverty, while almost half do in single-mother households."
Either by design or accident, the government is encouraging ignorance and illegitimacy by rewarding people for poor choices with these monthly stipends.
"This is painful for a liberal to admit, but conservatives have a point when they suggest that America's safety net can sometimes entangle people in a soul-crushing dependency," Kristof wrote. "Our poverty programs do rescue many people, but other times they backfire."
The poverty rate in America was 12.8 percent in 1968 when the War on Poverty programs kicked in.
By 2008, some 40 years later, the poverty rate had risen to 13.2 percent despite the spending of trillions of dollars on anti-poverty programs such as the ones Kristof described.
The U.S. government deficit is more than a trillion dollars a year, and 62 percent of that money goes to entitlements, which in too many cases are self-perpetuating.
This is not to suggest the elimination of anti-poverty programs, but rather that the nation needs to rein in these expensive and sometimes self-defeating efforts.

Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
33 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersHe's in the hunt, tied for the lead, three birdies and ten pars thru 12 today.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersHe cooled off a bit on the back plus he got screwed blued and tattooed on # 15 !
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters2 MORE strokes back!
Golf's "honesty" rules could go toe-to-toe with track's one false start rule.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersSo Tiger loses 2 strokes because he opened his mouth?
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersThat has to be the worst outcome from a really good golf shot that I have ever seen. Two inches left or right, and he most likely birdies the hole. Instead he ends up, after penalty, with a triple bogey. That four shot swing currently leaves him four shots off of the lead. I do hope that this is finally the time that Tiger comes from behind to win a major. It is a tall order though.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersAnd it's not the 4 shots in and of itself that's the problem, it's that there are 6 people ahead of him, so as with any of these things, which require a bit of a fade from the leaders combined with a surge by the chasing guy, a half-dozen of them have to go bad at once. Barring a 59 of course
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersI didn't get a detailed explanation but the way I understood it, he was supposed to place the new ball in the divot /club mark? I've carried a lot of bags and I don't think I've ever seen that done before. I can see why he made this error.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
If he hadn't, someone else would have. Everything is on video now.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
The words I read were"...as nearly as possible..." to the spot of the shot being re-taken. So maybe a few inches, but not in the divot, but not two yards away.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersI think the reputation of the Masters, created by Bobby Jones, has taken a serious hit. Jones, the man who penalized himself for double hitting a ball (which no one else saw) and upon being praised for his honesty said, "You may as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."
Tiger took that drop to benefit himself. You cannot tell me he didn't know the rule. What is bizarre is that the officials didn't penalize him until they saw an interview on ESPN where Tiger admitted what he did. Tiger is tainted even more, as is his tournament score.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
The Masters hasn't taken a hit. The teeth suckers are out in full force.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
I don't think its that simple. I've used the Jones quote multiple times myself over the years for various situations, but this was a very grey area. The officials knew of the situation on Saturday because the guy called in and they cleared it before Tiger signed his scorecard. So once the officials say "you're OK" he should be OK. They gave him the all clear. It was only later, after hearing his discussion of the drop, that they realized they had a problem. The new rule allowing penalties instead of DQs in situations in which the player could not have known any better was applicable. I am not a Tiger Woods fan but I think this was handled correctly, given the new rule. Further, the Masters lead rules officials is Fred Ridley, former USGA President, 1974 US Amateur champion, a Tampa lawyer, who I have known since 1972, and he is as honest as the day is long. He knows the rules far better than anybody on this board, and far better than all nattering nabobs of negativism in the press, and certainly better than I know them now. As to Tiger not knowing the rule, he knew the rule but he misinterpreted, is my picture. He had 3 options: 1) drop area, which he ruled out because of the conditions there, 2) as near as possible to where he hit his previous shot, or 3) keeping the point where the ball last crossed the hazard between him and the hole, and at any point on that line. And for 3) he could go back as far as he wants to, and I think he was using that interpretation of the rule. However, he used the point where it crossed the hazard on its flight over it rather than where it rolled back in, which would have him dropping in the stands to the left of the green. Again, don't like Tiger, but I think this is correct, was handled correctly, and I do not in any respect think he is a cheater. Nor have I ever heard anything like that, and I do know of several players over the last 40 years that have been suspect - from inside skinny.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersMore on Fred Ridley - the Masters lead rules official and 1975 US Amateur Champion (I think I said 1974 in the last post). Last player to defeat Ridley at the US Amateur, in the 3rd round in 1974, was - bambam. We had an awesome match going to extra holes. On 19, I made an 18-footer for birdie, and he had the guts to top it, by making his own 15-footer for a birdie to keep the match alive. But I also birdied the 20th to defeat him on the 2nd extra hole. Long time ago - good memories.
I won one more match and then lost to Curtis Strange in the quarter-finals on the 18th hole. Curtis shot 30 against me on the front side in that match, but I came back at him. It was tough because back then the semi-finalists at the US Amateur qualified for the Masters, so Curtis and I were playing for the Augusta invite. I never got to play there. Missed two other times by 2 shots each.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersThanks for sharing all that, bambam. Good stories and ones you deserve to tell.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersJerry Courville Sr. posts on this board?
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Jerry Courville, Sr. died several years ago. An old friend I played many rounds with in the 1970s in various New England tournaments. His son also became a pretty good amateur player.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersHey bambam....what happens to the green jacket(s) after a Masters winner dies? Does it stay at Augusta forever? Has anyone ever been buried in one? I was explaining the Masters and Augusta to my son yesterday and he asked that.
Last edited by DrJay on Mon Apr 15, 2013 10:37 am, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
I'm aware that he died in 1996. Strange beat Courville the elder in the quarterfinals in 1974. I'm from the Northeast as the Courvilles and guys such as George Burns III were always in the amateur golf news. I'm not sure where the facts are getting confused here.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
No idea. Never been asked that one before
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
But now you're curious and will sniff out the answer for us?
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersA quick search yielded this> Doesn't clarify what they do with one that's housed at Augusta when a winner dies.

Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Your auction site was good - I can check this out with a few friends who are members - not certain if they'll tell me - they are pretty much sworn to secrecy at Augusta National.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersI'm still trying to figure out how Curtis Strange beat both bam bam and Jerry Courville sr. in the same quarterfinal round in 1974.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersDrJay, you'll like this article about a green jacket sale that Augusta tried to stop.
http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2013 ... ions.html/ It went to court. Augusta claimed "that all green jackets are supposed to remain at Augusta" In the law suit Augusta's claim is challenged by the following points:
A green jacket won by Seve Ballesteros remains in Spain at Mr. Ballesteros' family home, and the Plaintiff has not sought its return. The green jacket won by Gary Player in 1961 remains in South Africa, the country of Mr. Player's residence, and the Plaintiff has taken no action. The green jacket owned by Cliff Roberts, one of the founders of the golf club, is hanging on display, along with the jackets of Jack Nicklaus and others, at the Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Curtis beat me in the quarters that year on the 18th hole, after shooting 30 going out, that I remember. I beat Ridley in either the 2nd or 3rd round - it was almost 40 years ago now, but that's how I remember it. I was there. If you want to ask Curtis about the match, I know he'll remember it, because I got back to even after the 16th hole, despite his 30 going out (I was 4 down), and he said to the press after the match that he hated playing me because I wasn't the best player, but I never quit and had more guts than any of the other players (I had played him earlier in the summer in the quarters at the Western Amateur, also losing 1 down on the 18th hole). I remember it well because a Golf World writer came up and told me about Curtis's comment and it remains my favorite quote from my golf career. Curtis remains a good friend to this day, he now lives in North Carolina and we stay in touch.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
The 1974 quarterfinals at Ridgewood were Gary Koch vs. Jeff Pomerantz, Richard Sucher vs. John Grace, Curtis Strange vs. Jerry Courville, Sr. and Bill Campbell vs. Jerry Pate. This is according to multiple newspaper accounts and is also confirmed from accounts of Jerry Courville Jr.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
From a member of Augusta National who is pretty high up: ----- Bill, I honestly do not know the answer to that, but I would guess that the club keeps the jacket. ----- So, that doesn't help much.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersLooks like bambam lost to Curtis Strange a round earlier than the quarters in 1974. He coulda been a contenda.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Must have been the round before then - round of 16 - been a long time
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
I was in attendance with my uncle although I don't recall much about it other than some of the local names such as Courville and Burns.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 MastersAt Masters, a Swan Song for Long Putters.
Can't say I will miss them. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/sport ... l?ref=golf
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Well, then you should have known me! Here's the weird thing that happened. I grew up around Boston, but only moved there when I was 7 yo, having been born in Paterson, New Jersey. All the New Jersey players lost in the first round so the local papers, including the Paterson Morning-Call had to find somebody to write about and they saw my place of birth listed and adopted me as one of the local players in the local papers, and started writing about me. Still didn't help against Curtis.
Re: Tiger hunting, AKA 2013 Masters
Unfortunately, at the time, I knew two names in the amateur golf world and not being a super fan of the sport I concentrated on those two if their names were in the paper. I had no knowledge of who Curtis Strange was at that time and was only reminded of the fact that he beat Courville at the event we attended by my uncle after Curtis became more of a name. The only reason I jumped in after your story regarding Fred Ridley was because I wanted to see if I could find the results of the event we attended which took entirely too much time and I never did completely find

Toshiba has announced that it will launch a new 20-megapixel (MP) CMOS image sensor, the TCM5115CL, as the latest addition to its sensor line-up for digital still cameras. TCM5115CL offers the industry's highest resolution in the 1/2.3 inch optical format, using backside illumination technology (BSI) to improve sensitivity and imaging performance.
Sampling of the new sensor will begin at the end of January 2013 and mass production will follow in August 2013.
Continued advances in the resolution offered by compact digital cameras -now in the range of 10-16MP - have brought with them the challenge of improving performance and picture quality with smaller pixels. The TCM5115CL does just this by achieving a 15% improvement in full well capacity - the amount of charge an individual pixel can hold before saturating - against Toshiba's previous generation 16MP sensor.
TCM5115CL is designed to meet the demands of high quality, fast frame rate image capture and HD video recording supporting smooth, slow motion playback, and delivers 60fps at 1080p and 100fps at 720p.

Description: The KWA M4 A1 CQR is a serious game changer for the airsoft community. There has never been a gun of this high quality for sale at such a low price, and never have we built a gun with such a high value per dollar ratio, ever! The brilliant techs at Airsoft GI began building the Airsoft GI KWA CQR DD Lite Short AEG with the KWA M4 CQR, which is virtually the same as the current KWA 2GX AEG's with one exception, the lower receiver is made of high quality fiber reinforced polymer, bringing the price down quite significantly. From there, they have fitted this base gun with an Officially Licensed Daniel Defense Lite RIS and flip up front and rear sights. As a result, the final product is a unique carbine with a flush, intimidating stance.
The CQR series received its name because of the growing demand for high value close quarters combat guns. As a result the CQR is designed to fire at lower velocities to maximize safety during close quarters engagements. The heart of the CQR is the 2GX gear box, a tried and true design that has won the hearts and minds of airsoft players around the world. The CQR also features an adjustable LE stock, metal upper receiver, removable rear sight (perfect for the use of optics), metal one piece barrel, a 2GX hop up unit and bucking. KWA's track record for producing high quality airsoft guns continues with the CQR. Pair this with the innovation and extensive knowledge of our in-house techs, and we are building some of the highest quality guns that money can buy.
Specifications: Manufacturer: Airsoft GI Model: KWA CQR DD Lite Short Muzzle Velocity: ~330-360 Magazine Capacity: TBA Package Includes: Gun, Manual, PEQ
Features: Durable polymer lower with metal upper Licensed Daniel Defense RIS 2GX gearbox KWA base gun

For organizing colored copy paper and small construction paper, I use a crate with hanging files. Each file is labeled with a color. One pack of construction paper fits nicely in a file. I put the crate on the counter for easy access. I also keep graph paper, cardstock, and other speciality papers there for easy access.

An test of dexterity hits the App Store for iOS gamers as Egozoo Games introduces Dots Ball. Available on the App Store now, Dots Balls is a very challenging game of non-stop action where you must successfully traverse a variety of worlds by tilting and twisting your iOS device and having your character jump from dot to dot.
"Across the spectrum of iOS games that require you to use your device as a controller, Dots Ball is on the higher end of the challenge scale and requires a deft touch and excellent coordination," said Egor Belenkov, founder of Egozoo Games. "It's a very addictive game as you try to top your latest score, but we have included a variety of power-ups to help you do so."
To be a Dots Ball champ, the secret is all in the wrist as the length of jump depends on how you tilt the device.. As you jump for dot to dot and progress up the screen, you'll begin to lose energy so it is critical that you collect all the Energy Dots you can.
But lack of energy isn't the only thing to look out for as Angry Dots and a variety of obstacles are dedicated to stopping your progress. Hitting the Gold Dots earns you coins so you can purchase power-ups and upgrades that will help you overcome the hurdles.
Egozoo Games' Dots Ball will be available for download on the App Store this Thursday, March 14 for $0.99.
