Writing Workshop #30 – Transitions, bangs and being in chargePosted by Josie on Jul 12, 2010 in Writing, Writing Prompts | 6 comments
Welcome back to your weekly Writing Workshop. Thanks for your patience last week. I was recovering from a bad Fibro flare-up and then there was Kai's birthday and an AMAZING day to go and see the Picasso exhibition at Tate Liverpool (a whole other blog post) And, it seems, it wasn't just me feeling a bit weary last week so no bad thing to have a breather perhaps. We're back to normal this week though, so I hope a week off has given you a renewed energy to get writing.
For any newbies (and it's never to late to join in), here's how it works: I'm going to give you 5 writing/blogging prompts. Pick one, pick two, or do them all if you're really keen – it's up to you. How you respond is your choice. You could share a real-life story, or make one up. You could write a poem or just free-write without thinking too hard and see what happens. It can be funny; it can be serious; it can be emotional. It can be whatever you want it to be. The only rule is to enjoy writing your post and get something out of the process.
Prompts each week take their inspiration from blogs, current affairs, daily life, or just whatever everyone happened to be talking about that week. If you'd like to suggest a prompt for a future workshop then send me an email or catch me on Twitter – I would love to hear your ideas.
And remember! We're not looking for perfection here! Just have a go! The best way to get better at writing is PRACTISE. All the best writers aren't afraid to write badly. So turn your inner-critic off for a while and just see what words come out.
Here's this week's prompts!
1. What's your therapy?
- Inspired by Kerry-Ann at Falling Starlett who has been using music to give her inspiration and peace.
2.Tell us a story of something that happened with a bang.
- Inspired by Emma's beautiful firework photos over at Me, the Man and the Baby.
3. Who's your boss? Who (or what!) is in charge of you and your life?
- Inspired by Geeky Mummy's four year old's impeccable logic…
4. Share your experience of a difficult transition. A moving 'from' to 'something new'.
- Inspired by the Bubbleboo and her son's Transition Day at school.
And finally, the last prompt is just one word. This should allow you a bit more creative freedom if you feel like taking the safety harness that particular week.
5. Running
- Inspired by World of Walker who has been finding her running feet again
Now here's what you have to do. Write your post and publish it on your blog between now and THURSDAY. On Thursday come back and use the widget that will be up to paste in the URL of your post to share. Then take some time to read some of the other entries and leave some comment love! We're not here to critique – just to have fun and support each other in our writing experiments. So be kind please. Anyone who would like to submit something via email, or even anonymously will be more than welcome to do so. I'll post them on the site here and include the link in Thursday's round-up.
Feel free to use the Workshop badge on your blog or as part of your post if you like. Code is here:
Note: I'm told Blogger does something a bit funny with the code so you'll need to copy and paste it and then retype the quotation marks (") as Blogger changes them for some reason. See you Thursday then!
This Writing Workshop is brought to you in association with Mama Kat's Losin' It – who's lovely author came up with the concept and runs her own workshop over in the U.S.

Fast-food workers are taking a stand against low pay
Most fast-food workers these days are adults with families to support, and the federal minimum wage of $7.25 just doesn't cover basic needs like food, health care, rent and transportation. McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, KFC, and others are making billions in profit, but pay poverty wages.
We're standing up for $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation. Stand with us by adding your name to our petition today:
Sign the Petition
I support workers who are standing up to fight for the living wage they deserve. No job in this country should pay so little that employees can't make ends meet.

Montville — An inmate at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center was charged with breach of peace Friday after he assaulted two correctional officers, causing minor injuries, police said.
State police said Kyle Freehart, 24, got into an argument with another inmate when a guard intervened. A short physical confrontation ensued between the guard and Freehart before Freehart was brought under control with the help of a second guard, state police said. Both guards sustained bruises, abrasions and contusions, police said.

José Aldo and CRAZY FAN (via im2PacReincarnated)
Anthony Johnson's weight issues continued at the UFC 142 Rio weigh-ins as he was 11 pounds over the limit and will only fight Saturday if he weighs no more than 205 pounds.
UFC fans have two options to watch the UFC 142 Rio weigh-ins Friday at 4 PM EST: live on Fuel TV or on Bloody Elbow.
According to a report, UFC light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado is out of UFC 142 with a rib injury.

The UFC released an extended preview of UFC 142, the promotion's return to Brazil. Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes is the main event on the Saturday, January 14 show.
The UFC kicks off their era on FX with the UFC 142 prelims.
MMAprime.tv recently spoke to Siyar Bahadurzada aka Siyar The Killer, is set to make his UFC debut at UFC 142 in Brazil. Siyar has amassed a record of 20-4-1 on his way to becoming the Shooto Light heavyweight Champion and winning the Ultimate Glory Welterweight title. Siyar talks about making the move to the UFC for his debut against Erick Silva. Siyar talks about his aggressive style of fighting and how he developed it; saying before he had formal training, he had the killer instinct. Siyar makes note, that he does not take prisoners when he fights and is looking for the knockout at all times. Siyar contributes his aggressive style to knowing that he will win the exchanges when the punches fly. Siyar makes note that he doesn't even look to defend the other guy's punches, because he knows that his own punches will land first. Enjoy the video interview below and getting to know the newest member of the UFC, Siyar the Killer. (Source: mmaprime.tv)

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Alum Tami Lane returned to campus Friday morning to share her experiences with current students and she brought with her a very special guest.
Lane brought the Academy Award she won in 2005 for Best Make-up in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia.
She spoke with students and let them hold the Oscar.
Lane said that moment before the winner was announced was one of the most stressful of her life.
"Your stomach is all in knots, it's in your throat. You can't open your eyes even though your eyes are opened you can't really see anything,. All of sudden you're onstage and you're staring at Jack Nickelson in the front row and there's George Clooney and all these people and it's the most surreal thing in the world. It's really indescribable," said Oscar winner, Tami Lane.
Lane will be inducted into the Woodruff Hall of Fame at a Banquet Saturday night.

Turkish army officers released from prisons and their relatives walk to the mausoleum of Turkey's modern founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Ankara, on June 26, 2014. Turkey's once-powerful army, which considers itself the self-appointed guardian of secular rule, has staged three coups since 1960 and forced out an Islamic government in 1997. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spent the best part of his 11 years in power trying to curb the military's influence through a series of trials, which have long been criticised by rights groups questioning their impartiality.

text: BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A new audit says the state education department isn't properly monitoring Louisiana's voucher program to make sure students get an adequate education.Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office released its first performance review of the statewide program Monday.The audit says the Department of Education doesn't have the checks and balances in place to make sure the private schools offer an "academically acceptable" education and have the capacity to take in the number of voucher students they request.Purpera's office also says the department should develop stricter procedures for removing poor-performing schools from the voucher program.Gov. Bobby Jindal pushed the creation of the program. More than 6,700 students attend private schools with public tax dollars.The education department defended its oversight of the program, saying it has rigorous accountability standards.

Pause to consider what's important
I am writing in response to the recent outrage directed at Peter Heck for his comments in his commencement address at Eastern High School.
This is nothing more than an attempt to harm someone, guilty only of being a conservative.
First they twist and distort Peter Heck's words and views, and then go into all-out attack mode. I ask you, liberals, is this the best you can do? Is this the best you have got? It is obvious the answers to these questions are yes.
I can visualize Peter Heck sitting back in his recliner, smiling and uttering the word "bingo," and you protesters do not even have any idea what has just happened. You have just proved him right. The world does scoff at the idea of a woman believing the greatest role of her life would be that of wife and mother
Another thing he said, which obviously angered the liberals, is "that the greatest impact you will ever contribute to our world is a loving and devoted investment into the lives of your precious children." Does anyone really doubt this is true for each and every one of us? If you are one who does not believe this to be a true statement, then the one you see in the mirror is the one with the problem.
In November 2012, the Pew Research Center conducted a poll and found 51 percent of survey respondents said children are better off if a mother is home and doesn't hold a job. This does not mean a woman cannot do a terrific job of being a mother and also having a career, or that Peter Heck believes a woman cannot do a good job of both as well. It just means more people are in agreement with Peter Heck than those who are protesting his commencement address.

I really want one in purple rain! especially a mini so i can take off the straps and use it as a clutch!
I am quite interested ini Proenza Schouler right now. I agree that the bags in the pics are very nice, but very small and not what I am looking for. The PS13 however, is exactly what I am looking for. I would really like to know what people think of the PS13 as I am thinking of purchasing soon.
I'm mildly obsessed with the metallic hologram. It's so cool and can be paired with almost everything !

Rescind the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act
We the undersigned find bill #24 the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act unjust, offensive and in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedom. Section 103 states that an assessor, under the direction of the court, can violates the privacy of your home in order to assess your competency. Section 104 allows the court to determine your competency in your absence without an assessment. These are some example of the virulent nature of this legislation. We ask that this abusive legislation be rescinded .

On the 28th of January, | My neighbor was victim-ized by, | Scumbag thieves a-leaping, | Up fire escapes and piping, | Land lady's sleeping, | Nine bass drums thumping, | Eight cleaning ladies cleaning, | Between 70th and, | 69th Street a crook made off with, | Two gold rings, | One lap top, | Three French hens, | Two turtle doves, and | A diamond engagement ring.
In details that resemble lyrics from the Twelve Days of Christmas, Brooklyn Paper's Will Bredderman is reporting that a sticky-fingered slime bag stole thousands in jewelry and electronics from a 13th Avenue apartment on January 28.
The victim told police that he left his home, on 13th Avenue between 69th street and 70th street, at 9:30 am. After returning at 1:30 pm, he noticed the missing laptop and jewelery.
While neighbors said they heard nothing out of the ordinary, police found footprints leading to a fire escape in the building's rear yard.
As the ad-libbed song lyrics indicate, stolen items include a wedding band, two gold rings, a diamond ring, a gold chain, gold bangles, and a laptop. [The French hens and turtle doves went mercifully unmolested].
The vicinity of 70th Street has seen a rash of break-ins via fire escape since the year began.

Gering selects four finalists for Superintendent
The Gering school board Wednesday night selected the four finalists for their Superintendent position.
The four finalists, all Nebraska administrators, are Travis Miller, Superintendent at Bayard; Robert Porter, Wallace Superintendent; Troy Unzicker, Kimball Superintendent; and Bob Hastings, Director of Teaching and Learning at Norfolk and a former Scottsbluff principal.
Board President Mike Brunner said the four had the administrative experience and communication and budget skills the board was looking for.
Brunner says the interview process will take place next week and they hope to offer a contract for someone to consider next Sunday. Brunner says the plan is for the board to confirm their selection at their board meeting February 18th.

Diagnosis & Personalized Medicine
Courtesy of AnyBody Technology A/S and Laboratory for Biomechanics,
University of Applied Sciences Regensburg
No matter how easy the doctors on TV make it look, successfully diagnosing a health issue can be difficult.
Geometry is different for each person: tissue, organs, blood and bone are patient specific. Determining how an implant will work in a particular patient requires a thorough examination.
Recent medical innovations, such as scans and imaging technology, have resulted in less invasive procedures to make exams easier, safer and faster. Still, the complexity of the body poses a multidimensional challenge to medical experts.
ANSYS is working to understand the needs of patients so it can better anticipate the challenges that engineers and designers face as they work to improve systems.
Using a combination of imaging techniques, engineering simulation technology and patient-specific data, healthcare professionals will be able to adjust treatment protocols specific to each patient. And, in many cases, the treatment time, along with the number of procedures required to correct the problem, will be reduced, saving patients and healthcare providers time and money.
For example, a bone implant that works in one patient may not be the right fit for another. ANSYS software empowers designers to take human variability into account by facilitating the generation of a large number of virtual human bone geometries. Orthopedic companies can then test new designs on a wide range of patients, ensuring a more personalized fit for each person.
In the case of drug delivery systems, ANSYS software provides the framework for testing the flow of particles in a wide range of operating conditions. For example, an inhaler works differently in each patient, depending upon the pressures exerted during inhaling and exhaling. Using ANSYS tools, researchers can import and nearly seamlessly mesh a complex patient-specific lung tree, making it possible to follow the journey of drug particles of various sizes and shapes as they enter the lungs.
Doctors are challenged daily to make quick decisions about diagnoses and treatment. Using ANSYS software import complex biological geometries, model physics interactions and perform automatic design exploration analysis, healthcare professionals will be able to develop the next generation of tools that will give doctors the ability to do their job more efficiently and effectively.

Since the formation of The Bow Valley Fiddlers in 1991, this highly skilled group of amateur musicians, ranging from 7 to 18 years of age, has entertained hundreds of people in and around the Calgary area. The Bow Valley Fiddlers are a division of The Calgary Fiddlers Association, a non-profit organization whose mandate is the promotion and preservation of all forms of fiddling, with particular emphasis on Canadian styles.
The association puts particular focus on achieving this goal by providing a performance format for young music students interested in the art of folk fiddling. This young group of fiddlers acts as understudies for the world renowned Calgary Fiddlers, and can perform up to 1 hour of music. Keyboard, mandolin, bodhran, flute and spoons are just a few of the instruments that accompany this fiddle group. The Bow Valleys, under the artistic direction of Donna Turk, also have a large Christmas repertoire, and have performed for events such as the Discover Devonian Series, the Southern AB Pioneers AGM, The Alberta Teachers Association Convention, The Hope Foundation, The City TV and many more.
The Bow Valley Fiddlers hold open auditions in June and September each year. Auditions are done in a non-stressful, relaxing manner and help our instructors to place the students in the appropriate fiddle group based on technical violin level and age of performer.

A brachial plexus injury is an injury to the brachial plexus — the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched or, in the most serious cases, torn. This happens as result of your shoulder being pressed down forcefully while your head is pushed up and away from that shoulder.
Brachial plexus injuries are common in contact sports, but they frequently result from auto or motorcycle accidents or falls. Babies sometimes sustain brachial plexus injuries during birth. Other conditions, such as inflammation or tumors, may affect the brachial plexus.
Minor injuries may get better on their own, but severe brachial plexus injuries require surgical repair.
Signs and symptoms of a brachial plexus injury can vary greatly, depending on the severity and location of your injury. Usually only one arm is affected.
Less-severe injuries
Minor damage often occurs during contact sports, such as football or wrestling, when the brachial plexus nerves get stretched. Known as "stingers" or "burners," these injuries can produce the following symptoms:
These symptoms usually last only a few seconds or minutes, but in some people may linger for days or longer.
More-severe injuries
More-severe symptoms result from injuries that tear or rupture the nerves. The most serious brachial plexus injury (avulsion) occurs when the nerve root is torn from the spinal cord.
Signs and symptoms of more-severe injuries can include:
When to see a doctor
Brachial plexus injuries can cause permanent weakness or disability. Even if yours seems minor, you may need medical care. See your doctor if you have:
Damage to the upper nerves that make up the brachial plexus tends to occur when your shoulder is forced down, and your neck stretches up and away from the injured shoulder. The lower nerves are more likely to be injured when your arm is forced above your head. These injuries can occur in several ways:
A rare condition known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome (brachial plexitis) causes brachial plexus inflammation with no apparent shoulder injury.
Participating in contact sports, particularly football and wrestling, or being involved in high-speed accidents increases your risk of brachial plexus injury.
Given enough time, many brachial plexus injuries in both children and adults heal with no lasting damage. But some injuries can cause temporary or permanent problems:
A number of tests may be used to help diagnose the type and severity of brachial plexus injuries. When you make your appointment, be sure to ask whether you need to prepare for these tests. For instance, you may need to stop taking certain medications for a few days or avoid using lotions the day of the test.
Other suggestions for getting the most from your appointment include:
To help diagnose the extent and severity of a brachial plexus injury, you may have one or more of the following tests:
Nerves that have only been stretched have a fair chance of recovering on their own. But the healing process sometimes forms scar tissue that must be removed surgically to improve the nerve's function. Surgical repair is often required for nerves that have significant surrounding scar tissue or that have been cut or torn.
Types of surgery
In many cases, surgeons can take less important nerves from other parts of your body to help restore your arm's function:
Partly because of the risk of muscle atrophy, surgery to repair brachial plexus nerves should ideally occur within three to six months after the injury. The success rate drops greatly if nerve surgery occurs more than a year after the injury.
Muscle transfer — a procedure in which your surgeon removes a less important muscle or tendon from another part of your body and transfers it to your arm — may be necessary if your arm muscles deteriorate.
Pain control
Pain from the most severe types of brachial plexus injuries has been described as a crushing sensation or a constant burning. Drugs containing opiates, such as codeine, are typically used immediately after the injury. Antidepressant and anticonvulsant medications also can be helpful. Pain control and a device called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) sometimes provide relief. TENS involves using electrodes attached to your skin to deliver electrical impulses to nearby nerve pathways to help control and relieve pain. In extreme cases, surgery may be necessary.
Although damage to your brachial plexus often can't be prevented, you can take steps to reduce the risk of complications once an injury has occurred:

Art displayed for The Ark Centre's birthday
2:00pm Friday 16th November 2012 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
A RIOT of colour has erupted in a hospital building where birthday celebrations are in progress.
More than 30 artists are displaying 90 pieces of work in the public spaces of The Ark Centre, to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The display will run until Thursday, November 29, and includes paintings, sculptures and photography, which are for sale. They are mainly in the foyer, atrium and BlueCafeBar of the medical education and conference centre, which is in the grounds of Basingstoke hospital, Aldermaston Road.
Each artist will donate 20 per cent of their sales income to The Ark Medical Trust. The Ark put out an open call to artists across the country to provide "a riot of colour" before winter.
Sandra Fell, director and chairman of The Ark Centre, said: "We've celebrated our anniversary in some style, with over 200 separate articles going in display to the public."
The organisation has held two exhibitions already this year and this is the final one. Mrs Fell said: "The artists' support has been wonderful, helping to raise the profile of the building and contributing to all the charities that call it home."

The Department of Medicine's clinical activities take place at Montefiore Medical Center, the major university teaching hospital for a population base of more than 1.5 million people. Medicine is the largest clinical department at Montefiore, with internal medicine admissions accounting for over half of all admissions to the hospital and for most of its recent growth in patient care volume.
Montefiore has two major inpatient divisions: the main Einstein site, including the Einstein Campus, hosts most of the laboratory research activity, and the Moses Campus hosts the bulk of the patient care and clinical research activity. In July 2008, Montefiore added the Wakefield Campus, expanding access to the resources of Montefiore's extensive healthcare delivery system for patients in the northeast Bronx.

I'm migrating an ecommerce site from one platform to another, and I need a way to redirect each product page to its corresponding page on the new platform.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Three Lakes residents
The town of Three Lakes is requesting that former town chairman Don Sidlowski provide them with electronic copies of all correspondence he received during his four years in office, as well as copies of any emails he prepared originally or as responses.
Sidlowski has provided some of that information to Town Clerk Sue Harris, the official keeper of town records, but he failed to provide electronic copies and instead delivered a box of printed copies despite the demands of the town's attorney.
Town officials report that the former town chairman indicated more printed copies of emails will be coming. They said Sidlowski has not agreed to transmit the public email records electronically — something Harris said she needs in order to comply efficiently with any public records requests the town receives.
Harris claims the former chairman has hundreds if not thousands of such electronic email files in his possession. We agree with the town clerk that she must have access to any emails received or sent by Sidlowski on the three separate email accounts operated by town government. These are public records that every Three Lakes resident should have access to.
The significance of electronic files over paper files is simple. It's common sense that the public record being preserved should be received by the town in the same manner it was received or sent by Sidlowski — electronically. Besides, future record searches would place an undue burden on Harris if she can't make use of the modern search techniques offered by today's technology.
Because Sidlowski could more easily transmit electronic files to the town instead of taking the time and expense to print out those files, his response so far sparks questions. Why the lengthier process? Why the indifference to the clerk's request?
It's time for the former chairman to start complying with the request for electronic files of those email responses, lest his four years in office be clouded by a controversy over open records.
DNR wants to sidestep
While were on the issue of open government, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is once again proposing to sidestep newspaper public notice requirements when announcing the sale of state-owned timber.
The DNR's proposed budget includes a proposal to allow the agency to post such timber sales on its website, eliminating the current process of providing newspaper notice in the county where the timber is being sold.
We oppose the plan because it reverses a basic government responsibility. It is the government that serves the public, and it is the responsibility of government to ensure proper notification on its actions — not the other way around.
Allowing the DNR to simply post public notices on a website removes the third-party oversight that is provided by the newspaper. It removes any independent proof of publication.

text: Annual lease amounts will increase by 20% for property owners on Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo when leases expire this year.Tuesday morning the Wichita Falls City Council approved a resolution authorizing that increase. Lake Lot Administrator Pat Hofferman said, 245 leases will be affected with a 20% increase."Those leases will go up from $690 to $828," said Hofferman. Market analysis done on the property located at both lakes show the "true value" to be over $12,000. Hofferman told Newschannel 6, she feels the city officials are being frugal with this lease increase. The City actually had the option to go up 30%."We're still behind the fair market value, we still have not gotten to the point where we are getting fair market rents for our lease lots," said Hofferman.Either way these lease lots are located on a slowly shrinking lake.

Many school systems around the country have switched to year round school, which often results in a longer fall break for kids, sometimes up to two weeks. But whether you have two weeks, one week or just a long weekend for fall break, spending it in Hilton Head is a good choice!
The weather is ideal with high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, and sports fans will love our choice of outdoor activities. Plus, if a certain someone in your family just can't miss their favorite team's football game, we've got plenty of places for that, too!
The Sun 'N Fun Island Escape and the Ultimate Family Package are perfect for families looking for an adventurous beach getaway. The packages start with a minimum three nights of accommodations and include bike rentals, kayak rentals, spa services, golf and more starting at $59 per person per night.
Adventure-seekers will love our Outdoor Adventure Package that lets you kayak, bike, play tennis and enjoy a dolphin cruise. It includes three nights of accommodations, a two-hour kayak rental through our 11-mile inland lagoon system, three days of bike rentals to explore Hilton Head's 50 miles of paved bike trails, a cruise from Shelter Cove Marina to see Hilton Head's friendliest mammal, the dolphin, and two hours of tennis court time daily.
Fishing in the resort's 11-mile lagoon heats up in autumn when the red fish start to spawn. The resort has stocked the lagoon with more than 6000 red fish, and there's even a 60-plus pound red fish that has been nicknamed "Elvis". See if you can catch him! Fishing is catch-and-release, and fishing charters are available through Hilton Head Outfitters.
Golfers can hit the greens on one of three award-winning Hilton Head golf courses at the resort, all recently aerified and looking great. We also offer fall golf packages that combine private instruction, tee times and accommodations, such as the Golf Stay & Play Package. The Group Golf Getaway is ideal for friends and family of 12 or more and includes three nights of accommodations, three rounds of golf, as well as discounts on all resort activities and pro shop purchases.
The fall schedule is filled with plenty of tennis action at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, named the Top Tennis Resort in the Carolinas by Tennis Magazine. The Banana Open Challenge October 4-6, the USTA On-Campus Fall Invitational October 11-13, the USTA South Carolina Combo Adult and 55 & Over Championship October 17-21, and the Annual Wild Wing Café Nutty Buddy Tennis Classic November 1-3 offer plenty of chances to be a spectator or to play in these tennis tournaments.
And where can your family member go to catch some football action? Hilton Head Island has plenty of sports bars, and right here within the resort, Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers and Pizza restaurant located on the Jones golf course offers plenty of big screen TVs, so they won't have to miss a single pass.
We hope to see you in Hilton Head this fall! Give us a call at 866-744-7558 to plan your fall vacation to Hilton Head Island today.
There are just certain things you MUST do on any vacation and of course, here on Hilton Head Island, we think there are a few items that should be on every visitor's bucket list. Here is the Palmetto Dunes' Hilton Head Bucket List for every island vacationer:
1) Get your picture taken at King Neptune Statue at Shelter Cove Harbour – This iconic statue at Shelter Cove Harbour, just across from the resort, is actually a sundial. But a pic with this guy is a favorite of vacationers, so add it to your list and post it on Facebook (while you're there, post it on our Facebook, too)!
2) Eat at the Dunes House – Open only to resort guests and property owners, the Dunes House is a perk you can't pass up. It's a restaurant and bar situated right on the beach with delicious fish tacos and yummy frozen cocktails.
3) Catch a fish – Head out in our 11-mile inland lagoon with Captain Trent and see if you can catch a "big red" (reddrum or red fish). Kids, try for a flounder!
4) Get a beanie hat and have it signed by Shannon Tanner – If you visit during the summer, head over to HarbourFest at Shelter Cove Harbour Monday-Thursday at 6:30 or 8 p.m. and catch the famous family performer Shannon Tanner. You must hear him sing "Your Hair Had a Party Last Night" and then you have to get your very own beanie hat (like his) and have him sign it with an inspirational message.
5) Eat the cinnamon rolls at the General Store – There's no better way to start your morning in Hilton Head than with these sweet pastries from the Palmetto Dunes General Store. Ride your bike over and eat up! Just get plenty of napkins…
6) Try stand up paddleboarding – This is one of our most popular water sports that we offer at Hilton Head Outfitters, located inside the resort. Get lessons from our paddleboard instructor or let him take you out on a group tour of our lagoon. You'll work your abs, burn lots of calories and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.
7) Spot a dolphin – Keep your eye out when at the beach for our favorite friendly mammals. You'll likely see their fins pop up out of the water. They also often swim up into inlets and tidal creeks, which may be a quieter place to find them during the busier months.
8) Try for a hole in one – Head to one of our three championship Hilton Head golf courses and see if you can hit a hole in one. You may improve your odds with a golf lesson from our super fun director of golf instruction Doug Weaver.
9) Try your hand at tennis – All guests of the resort enjoy two hours of free tennis court time daily with each night's accommodation, so there's no reason not to see if you and tennis are a "match." We also offer tennis clinics and lessons every day, along with private instruction.
10) Take a nighttime beach walk – Grab a flashlight and take a moonlit beach walk. You'll enjoy seeing another side of Hilton Head by night. Just keep watch for sea turtle nests, mamas or babies and stay out of their way. Light can disorient them so keep flashlights off if you spot them.
What's on your Hilton Head bucket list? What did we miss? For more information about tennis, golf, accommodations or other activities, visit us at www.palmettodunes.com or give us a call at 866-744-7558.

Elder Abuse in Rhode Island
Dec 23, 2008
The National Criminal Justice Reference Service recently posted a groundbreaking study that examines abuse of older women in Rhode Island, and the criminal justice response. The first study to look at an entire state's population of abused women 50 and older finds more intimate abuse than researchers expected, especially among married couples, and more abuse by predatory offspring and grandchildren as women reach age 60.
Researchers examined every domestic violence report made to state and local law enforcement in Rhode Island in 2002 involving female victims 50 and older, whether or not there was an arrest. They found that, as women victims aged, their likelihood of abuse declined and the abuser was more likely to be a non-intimate family member. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the abusive family members who are harming women ago 60 and older are less likely to be stressed caregivers than children or grandchildren with criminal histories.
"While the abuse of women age 50 to 59 more closely resembles that of women under 50, abuse of women 60 years and older is significantly different, with a majority of elder female victims abused by family members as opposed to current or former intimates," the study says. It concludes that the criminal justice system's response does not vary with the age of the victim, with charges equally likely to be brought whether the victim is in her 50's or older.
The study found little cooperation among agencies. Few cases referred to the state's Department of Elder Affairs were referred to police, and relatively few cases brought to police were referred to the Department for services. Researchers identified the need "for a strong collaborative judicial and social service response, due to the complexity of these cases."

Developer hard truth No. 5: Scope creep is inevitable
One manager I know told me his secret was to always smile and tell his team he loved what they were doing, even if it was terrible. Then on the way out the door, he would say, "Oh, one more thing." That thing was often a real curveball that upended the project and sent everyone back to redesigning the application.
Scope creep is almost a direct consequence of the structure of projects. The managers do all of the hard work with spreadsheets before it begins. They concoct big dreams and build economic models to justify the investment.
All the hard work ends once they bring in the developers. Suddenly the managers have nothing to do but fret. Is that button in the right space? Should the log-in page look different? And fretting leads to ideas and ideas lead to requests for changes.
They love to use phrases like "while you're mucking around in there" or "while you've got the hood up." This is what happens to projects, and it's been happening for years. After all, even Ada Lovelace's analytical engine, considered by most to be the first computer program, endured its own form of scope creep, born of nearly a year spent augmenting notes.
Developer hard truth No. 6: No one understands you -- especially the boss
There are two kinds of programmers: those who work for bosses who can't program and don't know how hard it can be to make your code compile, and those who work for former programmers who've forgotten how hard it can be to make your code compile.
Your boss will never understand you or your work. It's understandable when the liberal arts major in business development gets an idea that you can't solve without a clairvoyant computer chip. They couldn't know better.
But the boss who has forgotten? That's understandable, too. Even the best programmer forgets the API for a library after a month or two. Imagine going two or three years without flipping the bits. And then remember that when they went to school, the classes were about Java, not JavaScript. Even Ruby seems so yesterday.
This truth has one advantage: If the boss understood how to solve the problem, the boss would have stayed late one night and solved it. Hiring you and communicating with you is always more time consuming than doing it.
Developer hard truth No. 7: Privacy is a pain
We want our services to protect our users and their information. But we also want the sites to be simple to operate and responsive. The click depth -- the number of clicks it takes to get to our destination -- should be as shallow as possible.
The problem is that privacy means asking a few questions before letting someone dig deeper. Giving people control over the proliferation of information means adding more buttons to define what happens.
Privacy also means responsibility. If the user doesn't want the server to know what's going on, the user better take responsibility because the server is going to have trouble reading the user's mind. Responsibility is a hassle and that means that privacy is a hassle.
Privacy can drive us into impossible logical binds. There are two competing desires: One is to be left alone, and the other is to be sent a marvelous message. One desire offers the blissful peace with no interruptions, and the other can bring an invitation or a love letter, a job offer, a dinner party, or just a free offer from your favorite store.

Search an article database to find citations (title, author, title of journal, date, page numbers) for articles on a particular topic. The Library gives you access to over 200 article databases covering different disciplines.
1. Think about which academic disciplines might write about your topic. Examples: literature, film, anthropology, history...
2. Find the appropriate article database by subject (academic discipline or department). Look for "Recommended" databases.

Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available. Each database is a bit different, but a good rule of thumb is this: when you see the Uc-eLinks icon click on it to view your article access options, which can range from full text to a call number to an Interlibrary Loan request:
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks.
If you want to use Google for research, use Google Books or Google Scholar.
Use the Advanced Search for more searching options.
Remember that Google Books search results do not necessarily include the full text of the book; some include no text at all, some include a limited preview (only some pages of the book).
When you use Google Scholar, make sure to update your Scholar Preferences (see below) so you'll be able to use UC e-links to find the UC Berkeley library locations/online availability of the articles.
Step 1: If you haven't already done this, set up your proxy server access by following the directions at http://proxy.lib.berkeley.edu/. When you get to a point where you are accessing resources that the Library pays for, you will be prompted for your CalNet ID and password. For more help see: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/doemoff/tutorials/proxy.html
Step 2: Change your "Scholar Preferences." Access these by clicking on the small icon in the upper right of the screen.
Step 3: In search box next to "Library Links," type in University of California Berkeley and click on "Find Library"
Step 4: Check all the boxes next to "University of California Berkeley"
Step 5: Click on "Save Preferences" at bottom of page

Duke (6-2, 2-2 in the ACC)
Beat No. 16 Virginia Tech 13-10
side bar on the young secondary
What worked:
More than anything, the Blue Devils made timely plays when they needed them most.
We have a team full of competitors, quarterback Anthony Boone said. My numbers werent great. But each person put in their own. Thats what its all about.
Cornerback Ross Cockrell, who missed most of the second half with a right ankle injury, intercepted a Logan Thomas pass in the end zone. Safety Jeremy Cash and cornerback Garrett Patterson also picked off passes prior to the fourth quarter.
Running back Shaq Powell caught just one pass, but it went for 40 yards, the vast majority of those coming after the catch, on the days longest play for Duke.
Ross Martin, who struggled earlier in the year, hit a 51-yard and career-long 53-yard field goal. Hes the first FBS kicker to two 50-yard kicks in the same game this year.
David Reeves recovered a Devon Edwards fumble on the kickoff return after Virginia Tech cut the score to 13-10.
Kelby Brown, the National Defensive Player of the Week, picked off a Thomas pass on a short pass over the middle at the Duke 43-yard line with less than five minutes left on the clock.
Brandon Connette, who played just two snaps, was hit behind the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-1 from the Virginia Tech 44-yard line, but he spun out of two potential tackles and gained three yards with less than three minutes left in the game.
Overall, head coach David Cutcliffe counted 20 different players that contributed big plays in the game.
The thing that most excited me was so many different players were involved in making timely, key plays, from fifth-year seniors to true freshmen to defensive players, offensive players, Cutcliffe said. As tough as things got offensively, when we had to do some things, we got them done.
Thats the nicest thing that can be said about the offense. Defensively, though, the Blue Devils were stellar, holding the Hokies scoreless in the first half (the first time thats happened to Virginia Tech this season). The linebacking corps, led by Brown and David Helton, had their best game as a unit in Cutcliffes six-year tenure.
And when things got particularly tough in the fourth quarter, with the Hokies pulling to within three, Boone bobbling snaps, taking sacks and committing intentional grounding penalties, just to highlight the biggest miscues, the Blue Devils didnt fold.
It wasnt going to be about emotion, it wasnt going to be about panic and it wasnt going to be about whatever was being said, Cutcliffe said. It was about execution, it was about focus on our business, and the veteran team understood that.
Cutcliffe credited last years experience in Blacksburg, blowing a 20-0 lead in a 41-20 loss, and the comeback two weekends ago at Virginia as reasons the Blue Devils were able to finish the game. They applied the knowledge from past lessons learned.
What needs work:
Normally, a starting quarterback completing less than 30 percent of his passes and throwing four interceptions is a sure way to lose a football game. Duke was able to win in spite of those numbers from Boone.
The most important lesson learned from it is when things are tough is when you have to be your smartest and sometimes your most conservative, Cutcliffe said. You cant put it on your shoulders. Its not a sport where one guy can take the ball and dominate.
Whats next:
Duke has a well-timed open date, which will give the players and coaches a few days to enjoy the win, relax and heal. The Blue Devils will practice for 90 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, concentrating mostly on Duke but a little on N.C. State, the Blue Devils next opponent, and then take the weekend off until regular Sunday night practice.
