Business meetings among the dolmens

Active or relaxing team-building
Really get to know your team members by going "klootschieten", a local ball-throwing game, near the hotel. Or try mountain biking or golfing on one of the five golf courses in the area. Less active but certainly great fun is a group visit to the Dierenpark Emmen or the Hunebedcentrum in Borger.

The hospitable Hampshire Hotel - Bieze is surrounded by the beautiful Drenthe countryside and special places of interest. The Hunebedcentrum in Borger is just a stone's throw away, a museum that's well worth a visit. It explains precisely who erected the dolmens everywhere in Drenthe and why. Other highlights in the area of the hotel include the glass-blowing studio and large sheep-fold with flock of sheep in Exloo village. Kabouterland in Exloo is a charming attraction for families.
Drenthe is the destination for peace, space and a varied landscape with many walking and cycling routes. Well-known are the Hunebedwandeling (Dolmen walk), Hondsrugwandeling (Hondsrug walk), Boerderijenfietsroute (Farm cycling route) and the Rondje Borger en Omgeving (Around Borger and surroundings. After an active day in the fresh air, you can recover in the cosy bar/lounge of Hampshire Hotel - Bieze or enjoy dinner in Bieze's Restaurant. This stylish restaurant offers a huge selection of culinary dishes à la carte, together with the most delicious wines in your glass.
The area surrounding Hampshire Hotel - Bieze can be summed up in one word: beautiful. Immediately around the hotel there are five forestries and numerous cycling and walking routes. Should you prefer to check out the culture or do something fun with the children, here are a few tips:
In Borger you shouldn't leave out a visit to the Hunebedcentrum (Dolmen Centre). This museum explains the story of the dolmen builders: who they were and why they constructed the dolmens. The largest dolmen in the Netherlands is located close to the museum. In Assen you can visit the Drents Museum for information about pre-historic times and interesting exhibitions. You'd probably not quickly make a link between Vincent van Gogh and Drenthe. But there is one. In the Van Gogh Huis in Nieuw Amsterdam you can see how Vincent lived and worked during his "Drentse periode" (1883).
The lovely zoo Dierenpark Emmen is a must see. Speelstad Oranje, in the village Oranje in Drenthe is the Mecca of play: it has a big wheel, roller coaster, bumper cars and giant slides. No driving licence? It doesn't matter in Verkeerspark Assen, where all children can "just" drive a car. You can see gnomes, dwarves and trolls in the charming attraction park, Kabouterland in Exloo.
Just a few kilometres from the hotel you'll find the 18-hole golf course from Country Golf Ees. This certainly isn't the only golf course in the area: in a 30-kilometre radius there are no fewer than five! The Golfbaan de Semslanden in Gasseternijveen is a great course.
Bieze's Restaurant
This stylish restaurant serves the most fantastic, culinary innovations. Do you fancy Drents "hoogveen" lamb fillet, tame duck or a trio of veal? And for dessert, marinated rhubarb with a strawberry soup, vanilla mascarpone and pistachio crumble? And by no means unimportant: the extensive wine menu. The more than fifty, mainly French wines offer a true adventure for the wine lover. Our waiters will be pleased to inform you about wine-food combinations.
Grand Café
You'll feel comfortable in the Grand Café: you can order thirteen different wines by the glass here, together with delicious appetizers. And you have a beautiful view of the Borger village centre. Earlier in the day, you can come here to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or tea with cake. In the evening, you can just stay put and order bistro dishes from the bistro menu.

CATEGORIES Drama, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Distribution, Newsstand, Movie Marketing, Images, Movies, CinematicalAs I reported before, powerhouse performers Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling will next be seen in the film Fracture. Earlier reports about the film -- a psychological thriller concerning an Assistant DA (Gosling) struggling to keep the man who tried to kill his wife (Hopkins) behind bars -- only included a brief synopsis, details on the two stars and the film's director Gregory Hoblit. But now, thanks to the gang over at IGN, we've got a one-sheet and some stills from the film to look at too.
As they often do these days, the one-sheet features the faces of stars Hopkins and Gosling with Hopkins doing what can best be described as the "Hannibal Lecter come-hither look." In addition to the one-sheet, there's also the production stills from the film. In them, we get several images of both stars from various scenes in the film: Gosling confronting Hopkins in jail, Gosling staring purposefully into camera, Gosling confronting Hopkins' wife at an event, Gosling comforting his wife, etc. You get the idea.
I'm a big fan of Ryan Gosling and, on occasion, Anthony Hopkins too. So, I'm pretty sure the combination of these two actors and director Hoblit, who also has a great facility with these types of films, will lead to something good. Gosling was the best thing in the otherwise under-whelming Murder by Numbers and Hopkins was, of course, in Silence of the Lambs so this film should have all it needs to succeed. We'll find out if I'm right when the film gets released later this year.

Illinois has become the final state in the nation to allow the public possession of concealed guns, just ahead of a federal appeals court's deadline.
The state Senate voted 41-17 Tuesday to override Gov. Pat Quinn's veto of the concealed carry legislation lawmakers sent him. The House took the same action earlier in the day.
The Chicago Democrat's amendatory veto suggested changes to the delicately negotiated initiative - changes that anti-violence activists embraced.
Quinn wanted guns banned from any establishment that serves alcohol and wanted to limit gun-toting citizens to one firearm at a time.
Senate President John Cullerton says Quinn's recommendations might be addressed in later legislation.
The Illinois State Police must be ready to accept applications in six months. Officials expect 300,000 to apply in the first year.

Pier of Sao Bento River
The World > South America > Brazil > Chapada dos Veadeiros - Veadeiros Tablelands
São Bento River - Veadeiros Tablelands
Located in the oldest geological part of the continent, the Araí plate, formed 1.8 billion years ago, Chapada dos Veadeiros (Veadeiros tableland) is the most luminous point seen from the Earth's orbit, according to NASA. The Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in Goiás State was created in 1961. It is situated at varying altitudes between 1,300 and 1,500 mt (4265 and 4921ft), which act as watersheds of the Maranhão and Paraná river basins. Of the existing fauna, the lobo-guará, deer, rhea, king vulture and various species of sparrow hawk are worthy of noting.
Being an area of incomparable beauty, Chapada dos Veadeiros is interesting to visit both in the dry season and the rainy one. Because of the amazing energy present in the region, it attracts people interested in mysticism and ecotourism. It is also famous for its waterfalls, hiking trails and unforgettable landscape. Here, nature remains untouched by civilization, thanks to IBAMA, environmental institutions, the local community and the local public administration.
Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

Departing from pier, your immersion into Barcelona's history will be immediate with a pass by the Columbus Monument and the Old Port, while on your way to the Arc de Triomf and the Ciutadella Park; both part of the legacy from the 1888 World Exhibition and, the latter, once the garrison that protected the city.

Before returning to the pier, you will enjoy a photo stop from a scenic Montjuic's mirador which offers some of the best views over the city.

Chris "Birdman" Andersen did not enjoy watching the Miami Heat lose Game 6 from an Indianapolis hotel room.
Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports caught up with Andersen after a night he wasn't allowed in the arena:
"It was real tough to watch, bro. A lesson learned," Andersen said. "I got to be able to control my composure no matter how rough the game gets. I just got to continue to play the way I play. Just play smart. Play the right way.
"Of course I could have made a difference in the rebounding. But we're still the Miami Heat. It's a tough series. Indiana is tough. But you know what, we got to go back home and the good thing is we have our home-court advantage. We'll go back to Miami and take care of business on Monday."
Andersen got into a scuffle with Tyler Hansbrough in Game 5, earning a one-game suspension from the league. With the energetic center not able to play, Joel Anthony became Miami's backup center while Juwan Howard actually suited up after being inactive for virtually his entire time with the team this season. The Heat were walloped inside, with Anthony and Chris Bosh going 2-for-13 from the floor and Indiana outrebounding Miami 53-33, with Roy Hibbert, Lance Stephenson and David West grabbing double-digit boards.
The tattooed, mohawked player emerging as a contributing factor on a team with a strong chance to win the NBA Finals is extremely confusing, but it's actually happening. Andersen helps defend the rim on an undersized team, rips rebounds, and although offense has never been his specialty, his ability to cut and finish baskets makes him a perfect pairing with LeBron James' ability to draw defenders and dish out passes. Andersen has hit 18 straight field goals, dating back to the team's Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
Obviously, Birdman isn't the only reason Miami lost Game 6. But he's proven to be a nice player for them, and is certainly better than Anthony. It'll be helpful for them to get him back for Game 7.
It's not the first time Andersen has learned from a league suspension; he was booted from the league for two years after violating the NBA's drug policy, but returned clean and capable of filling his role with Miami.

We had an inside cabin, which would have been boring had we spent any time in it. However, we just slept there and spent all our time on deck or in the various lounges, so I'd recommend an inside cabin as a good way to save money. The cabin was large enough, and very queen (refreshed twice daily.) There was individual temperature control, which worked very well.
We took four tours booked with Princess, and one we found on our own. Advance booking is less trouble, but on-the-spot is cheaper. I think next time we'd book fewer tours in advance and more on the spot. The "official" tours were all as advertised and quite satisfactory, just a bit overpriced.
We travelled to and from Fort Lauderdale on Southwest -- right on time, friendly and efficient. We stayed for one night at the Marriott Cruise Port/Airport hotel before boarding the ship. I think everyone there was going on a cruise. The place is fine but there's no other reason to stay there.

Angels' Santana revved for season debut
Los Angeles (17-15) vs. Boston (21-13), 12:35 p.m. PT
ANAHEIM -- Ervin Santana is back, and the Angels are welcoming him with open arms.An American League All-Star in 2008 and one of the game's dominant starters, Santana makes his season debut after a sprained collateral ligament in his right elbow surfaced in Spring Training, keeping him inactive. John Lackey, having recovered from a right forearm strain, will make his season debut on Saturday in Texas. With Kelvim Escobar, rebounding from right shoulder surgery in extended Spring Training, eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list on June 4, the Angels could have a dominant set of starters -- if their health cooperates. Joe Saunders, who starts on Friday in Texas, and Jered Weaver, who goes on Sunday against the Rangers, are off to starts worthy of All-Stars. Santana prides himself on his conditioning, and he thinks that helped him come back to what the Angels believe is a Major League competitive level after two Minor League rehab outings. "I feel good," Santana said. "I'm ready to go, see what happens." Santana, 26, agreed on Feb. 14 as Spring Training began to a four-year contract extension through 2012, with the club holding an option for a fifth year. He'll make $30 million for the next four years with the option worth $12 million. Santana has been with the organization since Sept. 2, 2000, when he signed as a 17-year-old free agent from San Cristobal, Dominican Republic. He appeared in the All-Star Game in Yankee Stadium last year en route to a 16-7 record and 3.49 ERA in 32 starts. He struck out 214 hitters, second in the AL, while walking only 47 in 219 innings as the team's workhorse. Santana had rebounded from a dismal 2007 when he was 7-14 with a 5.76 ERA. For his career, he's 51-37 with a 4.42 ERA in 116 appearances, all but two as a starter. Santana, who pitched 6 1/3 innings in the Dominican Winter League before developing the sprained elbow, maintained that he is improving in his knowledge and command of the craft. "Every year you learn something different," he said. "You're around people with more experience, and they teach you how to be successful." Escobar has been especially helpful to Santana in stressing the importance of putting aside bad games and not letting them interfere with the next start. "It's all about work," Santana said. "When you work hard, you're going to get your goal. I put in a lot of hard work to get here." The Angels' offense came roaring to life on Wednesday night against Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. Mike Napoli was behind the plate -- he threw out Jacoby Ellsbury trying to steal second -- but figures to return to the DH role against Brad Penny. Napoli launched a monstrous three-run homer to dead center against Wakefield, his sixth of the season, during a five-run third inning to give the Angels a one-run lead. Napoli, with 52 career homers in 796 at-bats, has the highest lifetime home run ratio among catchers with at least 50 homers in Major League history. Pitching matchup
LAA: RHP Ervin Santana (0-0, -.-- ERA)
Santana makes his season debut, a collateral ligament sprain in his right elbow that surfaced during Spring Training having kept him sidelined. He made two Minor League rehab starts, most recently on Saturday for Triple-A Salt Lake, and built his pitch count to 80, a level where the club is comfortable. Santana emerged as an All-Star in 2008 en route to a 16-7 record and 3.49 ERA in 32 starts. With a mid-90s fastball, complemented by quality off-speed stuff, he struck out 214 hitters (second in the AL) while walking only 47 in 219 innings as the team's workhorse. Santana had rebounded from a dismal 2007 when he was 7-14 with a 5.76 ERA. For his career he's 51-37 with a 4.42 ERA in 116 appearances, all but two as a starter. BOS: RHP Brad Penny (3-1, 6.90 ERA)
After registering four quality starts in six outings to begin his Red Sox career, Penny will get the nod in Thursday's series finale after logging a season-high 6 1/3 innings in his last start against Tampa Bay. The burly right-hander limited the defending American League champion Rays to three runs in each of his previous two outings, amassing 10 strikeouts and issuing just four walks. Tidbits
Reliever Rafael Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Santana. ... Angels starters have thrown their first career shutouts three times (Saunders, Weaver and Matt Palmer) in a six-game stretch, giving manager Mike Scioscia the length he'd been seeking from them. ... Palmer and Shane Loux are 3-0 combined with a 3.12 ERA over their past seven starts. ... Excluding postseason play, the Angels have won 11 of the past 13 against Boston, outscoring the Sox by 30 runs (68-38) in the past 11 games. ... In his past 32 games, dating to last September, Napoli is hitting .402 with 10 homers and 28 RBIs. ... Torii Hunter is a career .330 hitter against Boston, and his homer against Wakefield on Wednesday was his fourth against the knuckleballer. ... Kendry Morales has 19 RBIs in his past 22 games. ... Bobby Abreu has eight walks in his past three games. Tickets

Attackers of Jamie Bulger should not have freedom
What little Jamie Bulger went through when both Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, is simply horrid. At the time, these two individuals at the age of 10, brutally attacked James Bulger, to the extent that the officials would not let the mother identify him. Sign this petition to let Lady Justice Butler-Sloss know, that releasing these two individuals back into the world, should be re-thought over, that there is a high chance of a repeat offense. Let the Lady Justice know, that we want these boys to learn, that at any age, crime that hideous will never be tolerated...that they shouldn\'t be allowed a new identity or the life of freedom.

For Diablo 3 players, one of the most attractive things for the game in recent days must be the patch 1.0.7 on PTR server. Although it is just available on PTR, you can enjoy these great changes before final Diablo 3 patch comes out. Compared with playing in PvE, playing in PvP mode really needs amounts of Diablo 3 gold as well as Diablo 3 items as you may be greatly damaged even killed with PvE items for PvP mode. Need to buy Diablo 3 gold or Diablo 3 items online? CheapDiablo will never let you down.

Change role assigned to User when they create a Group
I'd like to give the user a different role than "Administrator" when they create a group. In my case I'd like the name of the role to be "Team Captain," and for them to only have power over the content they create (similar to author role) instead of power over the content site-wide.
Can anyone clue me in on how to change this?

Michigan running back Fitzgerald Toussaint was forced to miss the regular-season finale against Ohio State and bowl game against South Carolina after sustaining a severe break to his left tibia during the Wolverines' game against Iowa last season. Despite the awful injury and projected lengthy recovery time, Toussaint plans to return for spring practice, according to Angelique S. Chengelis of the Detroit News.
To the surprise of some teammates and coaches, Toussaint has already begun jogging and running lateral-movement drills. As he told Chengelis, he's doing everything in his power to accelerate the recovery and get back in the action this spring:
"May not be full contact, (but) I will have a helmet on," he said. "I will be running gassers with those guys."
Before the injury last season, Toussaint played in 10 games, rushing for 514 yards and five touchdowns on 130 carries. This season, he'll be trying to regain his form from 2011, when he rushed 187 times for 1,041 yards and nine touchdowns.

Parts One: Coming to Your Senses The creative process has more to do with perception than talent. The creative process requires that we first perceive our world as it is before we can represent it in some form or use it as a launching pad for expression. Meditation helps this process by clarifying our perceptions, relaxing our relentless self-dialoguing, and revealing the source of creativity. We also learn through meditation that we can rest in "square one," a state of mindfulness and awareness where our mind, body, and environment are synchronized and self-expression can transform into pure-expression.
Part Two: Seeing Things as They Are Through meditation we come to see things as they are as opposed to how we think or imagine they are. We discover that everything has a felt presence to it as well as a thought sense that we bring to it. What we create and perceive communicates through signs and symbols. Signs communicate primarily information and the thought sense of things. Symbols on the other hand are primarily about non-conceptual direct experience, the presence and the felt sense of things. Seeing the difference between signs and symbols, thought sense and felt sense, as well as how they work together empowers our creative and viewing processes

It's time to wipe the word "deserve" out of our UFC lexicons. Who "deserves" what often doesn't matter, and whether it should is simply opinion, anyway. What matters is dollars, not sense. At this point, that's more fact than criticism. Because of that, the value of a title match isn't always equal to the value of the title belt. Sometimes it's greater, sometimes it's lesser. When it comes to Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen, this is a case of a great financial decision and a mediocre matchmaking one.
To be blunt, Sonnen has no realistic case for the spot he suddenly finds himself in. He's coming off a TKO loss in a lower division and he hasn't fought at light-heavyweight since 2005, the year Jones was winning the New York state high school wrestling title at 189 pounds.
As a fight, it's indefensible. There are others far more worthy. But as a gate attraction, it's just as gold as the belt they'll be fighting over. The UFC is in the business of sport, and to remain in it, the bottom line must sometimes be placed above all else.
We can all pine for the glory days of PRIDE and early UFC, but there's a reason those ownership groups aren't around any longer, and it's not because they didn't put on compelling matchups. It's because they ran out of money.
The decision to match the two on The Ultimate Fighter and a title bout is about the two "R's": ratings and revenue. By making the pairing and fight, the UFC is saying that this is the most compelling season of TUF they can offer, and the most bankable fight they can produce at 205 given the current set of circumstances.
On Wednesday afternoon, Dana White is scheduled to speak to the media and perhaps explain how it makes practical sense from a matchup standpoint. It does not make any. Instead, it is a shot in the arm when one is badly needed.
Less than one month ago, when Jones initially turned down the fight, White acknowledged that the only reason Sonnen was tentatively placed in the bout was because he was the only one willing to face the champion on eight days' notice. After Jones turned Sonnen down and instead beat Vitor Belfort at UFC 152, White basically shot down the idea of pairing them again anytime soon, saying, "I just think there's other fights that make sense."
Yet here we are.
There's little doubt that the uproar over the UFC 151 fiasco played into White's decision but there's also no question that other factors were at play.
Keep in mind that just a few days ago, White claimed he'd throw enough money at Anderson Silva to change his mind about fighting Jones, an offer he couldn't refuse. That plan didn't last very long, probably because White needed an immediate answer to the TUF question and didn't have time to gather all the relevant parties around the negotiating table. Sometimes, it's just as simple as two guys being ready when you need them.
In a vacuum, the obvious choice for Jones was Dan Henderson. The 42-year-old was part of 2011's fight of the year, and was days away from fighting "Bones" when his knee gave out. As the last reigning Strikeforce light-heavyweight champ, he also has the best case of any light-heavyweight that "deserves" the fight. But he is just another fighter to get swallowed up in the Sonnen vortex.
There will be those who suggest that such random pairings devalue the belt, but the UFC has always taken risks with their champions when they felt they had a bankable main event.
Randy Couture went from losing a light-heavyweight title fight to fighting and winning the heavyweight belt. In the midst of his second title reign, Matt Hughes was surprisingly matched with Royce Gracie in a non-title fight. Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre were essentially asked to fight journeymen reality show winners. Brock Lesnar fought for the heavyweight title after three pro fights. And the list goes on. The point is, these questionable matchmaking decisions have been going on for years, and some of them have resulted in shockers. Most of them have resulted in big business. Ultimately, the belt's legitimacy is directly linked to the man holding it above all else, and Jones' is beyond reproach.
At least there are a few takeaways from the UFC's decision.
For fans, it's be careful what you ask for. You wanted Jones-Sonnen last month, and now you're getting it. You can't blame the UFC for hearing that message and delivering. You think the UFC is sending a mixed message by talking up Jones-Silva but delivering Jones-Sonnen? What about the message you sent by rioting when Jones turned down Sonnen and now railing against the same matchup?
For fighters, it's to open your mouths and ask for what you want. At best, you might actually get it. At worse, you're planting a seed in the minds of executive brass, and that's no small thing. It's no coincidence that the rise of Sonnen as a gate attraction occurred as he became the mouth that roared, refusing to shy away from a microphone, a notepad or a high-profile feud. Sonnen wouldn't be in this position without his continual goading of Jones.
White recently said that Sonnen and Jones were among the five biggest pay-per-view draws in the UFC, and the long season of TUF will effectively serve as a commercial for one of the biggest fights of 2013, perhaps we can even call it a super fight. Maybe you're not sold on Sonnen-Jones now, but the UFC is betting that by April, you will be. That's the definition of promoting, and whether you think the matchup is worthy of the belt or not, your attention and your dollars will always speak louder than your objections.

No need to pay down the debt? Not what he said.
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 6:43 p.m.
In testimony to Congress last week, Hillary Clinton implicated former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan for irresponsible fiscal policies of the last decade.
"It breaks my heart that 10 years ago we had a balanced budget, that we were on the way to paying down the debt of the United States of America," Clinton said. "I served on the Budget Committee in the Senate, and I remember as vividly as if it were yesterday, when we had a hearing in which Alan Greenspan came and justified increasing spending and cutting taxes, saying that we didn't really need to pay down the debt -- outrageous in my view."
We turned to the transcripts, though, and found Clinton's memory wasn't quite accurate. Read our complete report to find out why we rated her statement Barely True.

Matthew Bryan-Amaning did all he could - except take down a cinder-block wall. And the Huskies' big man tried to do that, too. Frustrated, he violently smacked his right hand into one just outside the visiting locker room.
A dejected Isaiah Thomas silently walked a tunnel to the team bus with his head down, keeping his headphones on. Good idea, to block out the noise of the raucous Arizona celebration going on near him.
As great and improbable as this win would have been for the Dawgs here Saturday night - coming back from 14 points down in the first half and from 12 down in the second, defying a pulsating crowd that was all in white and all screaming against them - the Huskies know they let their last chance for the Pac-10 regular-season title slip away. Missed layups and missed opportunities late doomed them.
Arizona's Derrick Williams swatted away two Huskies chances to win in the final 3 seconds, including by miraculously blocking a shot by Darnell Gant at point-blank range. That's how the No. 12 Wildcats (23-4, 12-2) remained in control of the conference with a wild, intense, 87-86 victory over the crushed Huskies.
"If I could play again right now, I'd play right now," Bryan-Amaning said with determination, moments after this gut grinder that is already being viewed as the best game on the West Coast this season.
MBA was OMG for Washington, (18-8, 10-5 Pac-10). The senior had 24 points on 12 of 19 shooting, including 18 points during UW's comeback from 12 points down early in the second half, after he and point guard Isaiah Thomas talked and decided to run improvised pick-and-roll plays. Bryan-Amaning also had nine rebounds, four assists and six blocked shots. The blocks were one short of David Dixon's UW record from games in 2001 and `02.

The boy and I started playing mini-golf together when he was about 5 years old. There's a place down the street from ESPN where you can play all day for the price of a game.
It turned into our little hideaway — sometimes our escape from more important stuff. Once we played close to 90 holes in a row. Sometimes I'd even play on crutches after one of my many ankle surgeries. And one day, after years of attempts, he beat me to win a Derek Jeter jersey.
For a two-year stretch we kept a running tally of our wins and losses. And then each summer would end with the Back to School Championship Tournament.
We knew it was only miniature golf. But after playing full seasons of football, basketball, and then baseball, it was a relief to compete and not have it matter outside the waterfalls and green carpets of our place.
The Boy and I have gone the entire spring and summer without playing a single game together. Time has a way of stepping between a father and son. And for a 14-year-old who is already faced with dividing his loyalties between friends, other interests, and a summer weightlifting routine, Dad and his games sometimes must wait.
I wasn't quite ready to end our tradition. Not yet. Not without first trying to pull a few hours out of the last Wednesday of the summer. And wouldn't you know, The Boy was willing to switch up his morning for the sake of all those summers stacked behind us.
If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.
-James A. Baldwin
This time we invited good friends as our opponents. Mr. Double D. and his son DD2 are real golfers, and it is evident immediately. While I'm worried about whether my club has matching colors on the handle and head, the DD's were concerned with sizing.
Our advantage was in the simple fact that we'd been playing the course for years. We knew what time the waterfall would switch on and we knew how many leaves would fall on the 17th hole between shots.
An hour before they were to pick us up, I decided that we needed a trophy for the winners. I found an old golf ball, a tee from Dick Gilbert's 70th birthday party, a block of wood, a Sharpie, superglue, and some stick-on letters. Twenty minutes later I'd put together the finest trophy this side of Lake Garda.
We were on a strict schedule as The Boy had to be at football practice at 2 p.m. Since we were the first group to start, I thought the first round would go rather quickly. But the DD's are serious about their golfing. Mini or not, they were perfect in execution and form. They read the gaps in the mortar on the brick walls behind each hole. DD1 evaluated the slope of each hole like no other mini-golf player I've ever seen.
The senior citizens in front of us should not have been allowed to golf as a group of six. The sign clearly stated that a group should consist of no more than four golfers. I wanted to ask if they'd split into two groups. That way they'd move along quicker. I couldn't do it. They were having fun. Laughing. Flirting. I think. It was me in about fifteen years — maybe with a clothing adjustment here or there.
Watching both boys as they talked with each other — who knows about what — made me think about the speed of time. They were young men, bodies too big to cuddle, but still able to relish a day out with dad.
For DD1, there are three more after DD2 steps from high school into the next part of his life. The Boy is the last of five. After three more summers of mini-golf tournaments he'll be off to join the world at a yet-to-be-determined location. And I'll have a whole lot of time to fill in.
Summers and high school years are way too short. Everyone knows that. The leaves will continue to pile onto the 17th hole. And the little boy will return in search of the old man who knew how to make a trophy out of junk and a summer day hide from the rest of the world.

Rejuvenated, relaxed, a renewed Greg Schiano took the podium this afternoon at One Buc after winning back-to-back games for the first time this season.
The team is 2-8, but the mood is more like a team that is 8-2 after the early disappointment and eight straight losses. Winning has made the game fun again. So what was the focus of the news conference today?
There was just one question that needed an answer: What happened to turn on the switch? The mix of players is certainly different (because of injuries); the quarterback is different (after the Bucs cut Josh Freeman -- which I still firmly believe was the right move).
But what happened to turn this team around? I asked Schiano if he was frustrated at all, seeing how his team is playing now, thinking where was this when the season started.
"I'm not thinking about the first eight games, there is nothing I can do to change that. So we push it aside and focus on what we can change and that's been the last two games," Schiano said.
One thing fans need to look at in that eight-game losing streak is that at least four of those games were losses in the final minutes. They lost to the Jets late by a point, the Saints by two late in the game and the Cardinals by 3. So it wasn't as if the Bucs were getting blown out -- and it's not as if they have suddenly stopped making mistakes.
Penalties were a problem in the first eight games and penalties were a problem against Atlanta -- they had 11 of them for over 100 yards. So what has been the difference between then and now? Simple, it's confidence -- as Davin Joseph told a reporter on Sunday -- the light went on, they believe in Schiano, they now see there is a payoff with the hard work.
So these Bucs now have what the first eight games didn't: an ability to bounce back, and an ability to take a shot and still respond. That was what was missing in the first eight games.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Allow me to elaborate on what the app should do and then on the steps I took to get there. Basic idea is that I have a server that hosts a Java EE 7 websocket. The EV3 brick acts as a websocket client so that a message can be sent from brick to server and the other way around.
Because I'm not to familiar with the leJOS API, I started with a very simple app. When the app starts a message is shown. When pushing enter the app should display another message. In a later stage, pushing enter would trigger the websocket connection to be initiated. But I can't even get this simple app to work as expected. Below you can see the code that is based on the nxt tutorial: http://www.lejos.org/nxt/nxj/tutorial/ListenersAndEvents/Listeners_Events.htm (there are no ev3 tutorials/documentation, right?).
- Code: Select all
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("START BrickInit");
Button.ENTER.addButtonListener(new EnterButtonListener());
showMessage("Push ENTER to connect");
public static void showMessage(String message) {
System.out.println("showMessage: " + message);
LCD.drawString(message, 0, 0);
public static class EnterButtonListener implements ButtonListener {
public void buttonPressed(Button b) {
System.out.println("ENTER button pressed");
public void buttonReleased(Button b) {
System.out.println("ENTER button released");
BrickInit.showMessage("ENTER button released");
The output of this program is on the display: "Push ENTER to connect". When I push the ENTER button, nothing happens except a beep sound is produced on the brick. According to http://www.lejos.org/nxt/nxj/tutorial/ListenersAndEvents/Listeners_Events.htm new threads are being made for every listener that is added, but it seems that this listener is never called? Any ideas on this?
My next attempt was to create a ButtonTest class that extends Thread. In the main method of BrickInit I create a new instance of it and make sure it's a daemon thread. But this gives me the same results: a beep when I click the enter button, but no message is shown on the display.
To conclude, do you have any thought on the websocket program itself? My plan is to alter the EnterButtonListener to:
- Code: Select all
public static class EnterButtonListener implements ButtonListener {
public void buttonPressed(Button b) {
System.out.println("ENTER button pressed");
public void buttonReleased(Button b) {
System.out.println("ENTER button released");
final ClientEndpointConfig cec = ClientEndpointConfig.Builder.create().build();
ClientManager client = ClientManager.createClient();
BrickClientEndPoint brickEndPoint = new BrickClientEndPoint();
try {
session = client.connectToServer(brickEndPoint, cec, URI.create("ws://10.0.1.10:8080/legoxx/brick"));
} catch (DeploymentException | IOException e) {
BrickInit.showMessage("ERROR when connecting: " + e.getMessage());
The BrickClientEndPoint class would then be responsible for the receiving of messages sent by the server:
- Code: Select all
import javax.websocket.ClientEndpoint;
import javax.websocket.Endpoint;
import javax.websocket.EndpointConfig;
import javax.websocket.MessageHandler;
import javax.websocket.Session;
public class BrickClientEndPoint extends Endpoint {
public void onOpen(final Session session, EndpointConfig endpointConfig) {
// Add a listener to capture the returning event
session.addMessageHandler(new MessageHandler.Whole<String>() {
public void onMessage(String message) {
BrickInit.showMessage("RECEIVED: " + message);
It seemed to me like a very simple app, but it's frustrating I even can't get the basics to work. So any help is much appreciated!
By the way, I'm running on version 0.4.0 alpha.

The purpose of the program is to provide an alternative to incarceration for individuals that are repeat offenders with mental health issues that are related to their crimes and to provide services and supervision to adults who are involved in the system due to their mental health issues. Our goal is to reduce jail bed days and the drain on probation, the courts the jail and the community at large. The program will provide supervision and treatment to these offenders as well as monitored medications, substance abuse testing, and intensive case management assistance with basic needs, housing, and employment. We hope to reduce the drain on the system, and to help these individuals become more healthy productive members of society.

HYAK, Wash. - More rock blasting closures are planned for next week on Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass and drivers need to plan for added travel time.
The Washington State Department of Transportation and crews plan to close I-90 in both directions from 7 to 8 p.m., Monday, April 22 through Thursday, April 25, from Gold Creek (milepost 54) to the Price Creek Sno-Park (milepost 61). This work is weather dependent and may change if weather conditions change. Check our What's Happening on I-90 website for changes to the rock blasting schedule.
Rock blasting is part of the $551 million I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East – Hyak to Keechelus Dam project to widen a five-mile stretch of the highway from four to six lanes. The project is scheduled to be complete in fall 2017.
Drivers can use the following tools to better plan trips across I-90 this summer:

FROWNIES anti-aging Facial Patches assist to soften and smooth deep wrinkles or fine lines mechanically, without any harsh chemicals or needles. Designed to provide lasting results with continued use.
FROWNIES' Forehead and Between the Eyes (FBE) Facial Patches addresses the physical cause of facial wrinkles between the eyes (sometimes called elevens) and horizontal forehead wrinkles. By holding the crease flat and relaxed while you sleep the body can relax muscle memory. The muscles of the face cannot move under the patch, keeping you from frowning or expressing while you sleep. This is Frownies 100 year old anti-wrinkle secret. The paper patch allows the skin to breath promoting skin restoration and repair
Click Here for a How-To Video
The anti-wrinkle treatment patch is applied directly over the wrinkles between the eyes or on the forehead.
Smooth out the skin, apply the patch and leave it on at least three hours to reduce wrinkles. The entire line must be covered by the patch.
Immune Perféct under the patch accelerates the anti-aging benefit and Immune Shield after you remove the patch supplies Vitamin E serum to protect against free radicals.
Smooth out wrinkles as soon as you see them by using Frownies' Anti-Aging Wrinkle Treatment Patches a few nights a month directly over the lines. Lines in their early stages will be softened in three nights, deeper lines taking longer. When the lines are no longer visible; you no longer need to wear your Facial Patches. When you start to see the lines reappear wear the patch again; it is as simple as that. You will never again consider injected wrinkle fillers.
FROWNIES' Facial Patches have been called the 'easiest wrinkle reducer' by Good Housekeeping Magazine.
Product Patented by B&P Company Owners of Frownies
Rose Water Toner Hydrator is used to activate the adhesive on the patch and add an antioxidant treatment to the skin.
Money-Back Guarantee
We are so confident you will see results before the end of your first month of continuous use of our Facial Patches that if your frown lines do not show any signs of improvement, we will refund your full purchase price (less shipping and handling).
Simply return your unused Frownies Facial Patches to the place of purchase within 30 days of purchase. All returns must be in their original package, and accompanied by the original cash register receipt with date (no copies, please), or invoice.

Dextrin based adhesive is hypo allergenic and has been used by many gluten sensitive people. If you have sensitive skin we recommend you test the patch on your wrist the first night to see if your skin reacts in any way. You may request a sample of the patch to test it before your purchase by calling 800-648-6891, M-F 8:30-5:00 ET

HAVERHILL — Local police, state troopers and federal agents raided the homes of 11 people wanted on drugs and weapons charges and arrested them yesterday morning.
After complaints by neighbors about drug dealing in the Winter and White street area just north of downtown, Haverhill and state police, along with Boston ATF agents, conducted the operation. Later in Haverhill District Court, lawyers for the people arrested said they all receive some kind of government money due to disabilities.
All of the people arrested were arraigned yesterday in Haverhill court and ordered held on bail amounts ranging from $10,000 to $350,000, court officials said.
Lawyers for the 11 defendants said during bail arguments that their clients receive various forms of government assistance, including disability payments for physical and mental ailments, and that most of them are unemployed. Attorney Timothy Connors, who represented four of the 11 defendants, said his clients all receive some form of SSI.
Attorney Lee Graham, who represented five defendants, said during bail arguments that his clients are collecting either SSI or SSDI.
Investigators said the arrests were the result of a two-month operation focusing on heroin and cocaine sales in the White and Winter street area, where police said drug transactions are common.
The arrests were made about 6 a.m. yesterday, and were conducted simultaneously by several arrest and entry teams who had warrants, police said.
In some cases, officers and agents entered the homes by forcing open doors, police said.
"We have had many calls from residents in that area complaining of increased drug activity," police Deputy Chief Donald Thompson said. "It is hoped that these arrests will enhance the quality of life for the neighborhood."
Police said the people who were arrested are considered low- to mid-level drug dealers.
