Kenwood House Reopens
Kenwood House has reopened after its 10-month closure in order for English Heritage to complete its 'Caring for Kenwood' restoration.
The house, which originally dates from the early 17th century, was bought in 1754 by William Murray, the First Earl of Mansfield, who between 1764 and 1779 commissioned Robert Adam to remodel it when he built the library and the porch at the entrance.
In the Robert Adam Library is a needlework carpet supplied by Mallett, shown in situ here.
For more details, visit the English Heritage website.
Opening The Shutters
Our new collaboration with Jules Wright of The Wapping Project has been featured in the Wall Street International, The Telegraph Luxury and Idol Magazine.
The exhibition at Ely House runs until 21st December.

Otley residents' concerns tackled in action day
1:00pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Telegraph & Argus
Police have hailed an action day in Otley a success.
Aireborough & Wharfedale Neighbourhood Policing Team joined forces with Leeds City Council officers, Community Action and Support Against Crime (CASAC) and other partners for the December 12 event.
Focusing on the Weston Lane area, the day saw more than 100 residents visit the mobile police contact point to discuss concerns.
Officers, responding to highlighted issues in the neighbourhood, also cracked down on speeding motorists with two warned on the day and three prosecuted for breaking the limit.
CASAC, meanwhile, visited a number of homes and will – with match-funding from ward councillors – help make 15 properties more secure as a result.
A Council anti-social behaviour team and housing officers also visited houses on the estate, and the event was rounded off by police and licensing officers carrying out evening checks at the town's pubs and clubs.

Since 3DS Max is Windows only, I've partitioned the boot drive on my Mac Pro and have installed Windows 7 64-bit. I'm attempting to install 3DS Max, but the installation crashes the OS when trying to install Direct X (step 11 of 20, I believe). I get the blue screen of death.
Is there a workaround for this? Can I install Direct X myself (or at least try), and will the 3DS Max installer skip this step?
Help. The only reason I went to all the trouble of installing Windows on my system was for 3DS Max.
Yes, you can update DirectX on your own and the installer will skip the step. However, there is no way to modify the installation to skip this step. Make sure you have the latest DX11 files on the machine first. Also, post the BSOD error here next time as it might be something else, like video driver or similar...
OK, thanks, will do!
you need to try to figure what caused the blue screens
it may be a piece of hardware that is failing

It's official!
Former No.2 pick, Michael Beasley is up for grabs. Our Pacific Division neighbors couldn't stand his god-awful hair any longer, and waived him. Now call me crazy, but I think this guy still has enough juice in him to contribute. He's only 24 years old! When this guy gets rolling, you could see his potential and why he was regarded so highly. Now, I know he isn't known for his outstanding work ethic, but remember Capt. Jack? The Warriors refined him from a crowd fighter into the heart and soul of the We Believe team and overall good guy. With guys like Steph and David Lee, and with a coach like Mark Jackson, Michael Beasley could finally get it together and run with a team that has the ability to dominate on the court and come together as a tight-nit group off the court. Yay or Nay?

The Zilwaukee Bridge
November 17, 2008
The Zilwaukee Bridge, photo by Mario.Q.
This photo is part of Mario's Zilwaukee Bridge set (slideshow). He writes:
The Zilwaukee Bridge carries northbound and southbound I-75 125 feet over the Saginaw River at Zilwaukee, MI with a total length of just over 8,000 ft. This high level bridge replaced a drawbridge at the same location that caused major backups on I-75 with frequent openings for ship traffic going from Saginaw, MI to the Great Lakes. With a major and widely publicized construction mishap and huge budget overruns this is one of the more widely know bridges in the State of Michigan.
You can read much more about this star-crossed bridge in Wikipedia's Zilwaukee Bridge entry, but the best resource is michiganhighways.org. There you can find The Zilwaukee Bridge: From the Beginning by MDOT. This details the whole story including "The Accident". There's also a bunch of photos of the bridge including an aerial view and an annotated aerial view.

Michigan is Wine Country
October 25, 2008
Wine Country, photo by smiles7
Last night I had dinner with a writer from England who is exploring vineyards in Leelanau by bicycle for a story. He was asking me some questions about how Michigan ranks nationally in grape & wine production. I didn't have all the answers, but fortunately there's the great Michigan Wines web site from the Michigan Grape & Wine Council.
From their fast facts page, I learned that Michigan has about 1,800 acres of wine vineyards, making Michigan the eighth largest in wine grape producer in the nation (if our juice grapes are factored in, we're 4th largest). We've increased our vineyard area over 60% in the last 10 years. Michigan is 13th in wine production with 56 commercial wineries that produce over 425,000 cases of wine annually. The state's wineries are also popular tourist destinations, attracting more than 800,000 visitors annually.
Most of Michigan's quality wine grapes grow within 25 miles of Lake Michigan. Here, the "lake effect" protects the vines with snow in winter, retards bud break in spring helping avoid frost damage, and extends the growing season by up to four weeks.
Michigan has four federally approved viticultural areas (AVAs). In the northwest part of the state, near Traverse City, lie the Leelanau Peninsula and the Old Mission Peninsula. This area has a growing season averaging 145 days and an average heat accumulation of 2,350 growing degree days; 51% of Michigan's wine grapes grow here. In the southwest part of the state lie the Lake Michigan Shore and Fennville appellations, where 45% of Michigan's wine grapes are grown. This area has a growing season averaging 160 days and an average heat accumulation of 2,750 growing degree days.
You'll also want to check out their history page for the very interesting story of Michigan's winemaking history. Here's the vineyard slideshow from the Absolute Michigan pool and you can get lots more features and links for Michigan wines from Absolute Michigan.

Linden Mills on the Shiawassee River
September 6, 2008
Linden Mill, photo by Patrick T Power
MichMarkers.com has the text from the historical marker at Linden Mills in the village Linden (also a map).
The Linden Mills were a vital source of this village's economic growth. The first mill, located on land granted to Consider Warner, was used to cut lumber. From 1845-1850 Seth Sadler and Samuel W. Warren, local residents, erected both a saw and grist mill. Operating along with the earlier facility, this complex was called the Linden Mills. The grist mill continued to function for over a century until the machinery was dismantled and sold at auction in 1956. The village then purchased the building for municipal offices and a public Library.
Today the mill is the site of the Linden Mills Historical Museum.

Saginaw River Rear Range Light
August 6, 2008
Saginaw River Lighthouse, photo by SNiedzwiecki.
Stacy says that she took this photo on a boat tour of the Saginaw River and that access is very limited. It's one of a number of photos in her Michigan Lighthouses set. She has also placed it on a map.
Terry Pepper's page on the Saginaw River Rear Range Light brings the usual 110% of awesome with historical photos and a complete history of the lighthouse that explains (in part):
Eleventh District Engineer Major Godfrey Weitzel's design for the combined rear range tower and dwelling was unique. Consisting of a large elevated concrete base supporting a combined brick dwelling and tower, the swampy ground in the chosen site first required the driving of timber piles deep into the ground to provide a solid foundation on which timber forms for the concrete base could be erected and filled. Atop this concrete foundation, a square two-story Cream City brick keeper's dwelling 26′ 6″ in plan was constructed. Integrated into the northwest corner of the dwelling, a tapered 53′ tall square tower with double walls housed a set of prefabricated cast iron spiral stairs. Winding from the cellar to the lantern, these stairs also serving as the only means of access to the first and second floors by way of landings on each floor, each outfitted with tightly fitting arch-topped iron doors designed to stem the spread of fire between floors. A timber deck supported by timber columns encircled the dwelling at the first floor level, providing easy and dry access to all sides of the structure. The living quarters consisted of a kitchen, parlor and oil storage room on the first floor, and three bedrooms above. The tower was capped with a square iron gallery, supported by five cast iron corbels on each of its four sides. An octagonal cast iron lantern was installed at its center, with a fixed white Fourth Order Fresnel lens placed at a focal plane of 61 feet.
You can also check out some photos of the light and information from the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society and read a bit about the possible haunting of the Saginaw River Lighthouse.
A Michigan Osprey Pair at Wildwing Lake
June 10, 2008
Osprey Pair at Wildwing Lake 1, photo by C.A. Mullhaupt.
C.A. Mullhaupt took this incredible photo (view it bigger) of a pair of osprey at Wildwing Lake in Kensington Metropark near Milford, Michigan.
The Michigan DNR's Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) page says:
The "fish hawk" (length of 22-25 inches, wingspan of 4.5-6 feet) is brown above and white below, and flies with a distinct bend in its wing at the "wrist." Their feet are equipped with spiny scales and long talons that give them a firm grip on slippery fish, their only prey. Ospreys usually select tall trees in marshes along streams, lakes or man made floodings. They will adapt to artificial nesting platforms. This help from humans, along with the restriction of certain harmful pesticides, has helped ospreys recover from the drastic population reductions seen in the 1950s and '60s…
The Department of Natural Resources requests help from wildlife observers to report any sightings of osprey in southern Michigan, particularly in the Maple River area (north of St. Johns,) and in southeast Michigan (Oakland, Wayne, Macomb and Livingston counties.)
Osprey Watch of Southeast Michigan (OWSEM) is a non-profit volunteer organization based at Kensington Metropark. Their goal are to help the Michigan DNR in their efforts to restore the osprey to Southern Michigan and to educate the public about this very special raptor. On their very extensive web site they have a cool osprey sighting map, lots of reports and photos and there's even information about osprey hacking.
You can learn more about the osprey from Wikipedia's osprey entry and the get photos, calls and other info from

If you're in the Royal Oak area today, the Iris Club of Southeast Michigan is holding an AIS sanctioned iris show. Viewing is from noon to 4 PM, and I assume all the good looking irises will be there.
If you're not in the area, well, zoom into this photo, explore the 200+ varieties of irises on Wikipedia and sit back and watch this Michigan Iris show from Flickr.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Milwaukee County Distrcit Attorney John Chisholm announced Friday the John Doe investigation his office started six months before Scott Walker became Wisconsin's governor is complete, with no charges against Walker. Four of Walker's former aides in the Milwaukee County Executive's office and a campaign donor have been convicted on charges ranging from theft to misconduct in office.
Some Wisconsin Democrats have said evidence shows Walker was involved in illegal campaigning when he was Milwaukee County executive.
Assembly minority leader, Democrat Peter Barca, says the governor should take responsibility for people he trusted, hired and supervised. And state Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate says he hopes all documents related to the case are made public.
A judge has ordered that documents gathered in the investigation remain under wraps.
Walker said Friday he's glad the investigation is over.

Fares on the Canby Ferry will increase Wednesday, July 1, to help Clackamas County cover more of the costs of this popular 98-year-old service. The ferry, which crosses the Willamette River between Canby and Wilsonville, is one of only three remaining ferries that cross the river.
Results of a survey or riders and others conducted in February 2012 showed overwhelming supports for continuing to operate the ferry and for increased fees to reduce the difference between revenue from riders and the costs of operation. With 1,046 respondents more than 90 percent expressed support for increasing fees to keep the ferry running.
The new fares are $2 each for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycles, $4 for a vehicle up to 22 feet long, and $50 for a 20-crossing punch pass. The ferry operates from 6:45 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. seven days a week except on major holidays and when the water level rises to 70 feet or higher.
Survey results, fare details, schedule changes and more are available at www.clackamas.us/roads/ferry.html.
For more information, call Ellen Rogalin at 503-742-4274.

Crews continue to work reinforcing steel and completing electrical work on the Eggners Ferry Bridge.
Contractors recently placed a replacement span at the Eggners Ferry Bridge over Kentucky Lake.
The contractor is now continuing to reinforce steel and forms to allow a concrete deck to be poured on the 322 ft. structure.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet inspectors who monitor construction activities are saying they believe the new deck could be ready for concrete to be poured as early as Monday. However, crews say if there are any number of issues, including weather, it could impact progress.
Also, electrical crews are working along the bridge to prepare for completion of the new span. Required electrical work will include addition of conduit to the new portion of the structure.
Once a new deck is poured on the replacement span, KYTC inspectors say they will check the concrete to assure it is of proper strength.
The bridge that carries U.S. 68 and Ky. 80 between Land Between the Lakes and Aurora has been closed since a cargo ship tore down a 322-foot span on January 26.

Vermont State police now say they do not think an incident involving a school bus in Newbury was suspicious; instead they believe it was probably just a leaf peeper.
Police say it was reported that someone in a rented van followed a bus on its route along Route 5 Thursday and videotaped the bus and students.
However, investigators following up on the case say it was not as originally reported. Police were told the van followed the bus for several miles videotaping students, but the investigation revealed the van was behind the bus for less than half a mile, and the van only stopped at one bus stop because the bus had its four-way lights activated. The bus driver waved the van through and there were no further interactions.
Police say it appears the person in the van was most likely taking video or photos of fall foliage.

I was very encouraged by the play of both the offense and the defense in the first half. Yet I knew having to settle for two FGs was going to come back and bite the Panthers on the ass. Unlike the first two losses though I find more fault with the players for this one. The Panthers should have at least been leading 13-3 at the half if not 17-3. Forgive me if I'm reviving a dead horse, this is really my first post on this loss since the game ended. I'm finding I need a good day to clear my head before writing. This team is driving me crazy. I'm going to have to lower the bar even further if I'm going to keep my sanity for another 12 games.
The bar is now down to 26, have we bottomed out yet?

26. Carolina Panthers
I hope Ron Rivera went to the beach, painted quaint watercolor pictures and otherwise enjoyed the bye week. He's not going to get another break again until he gets fired. And he's going to get fired. He did manage to go for it on fourth-and-one last week, only to see Brandon LaFell drop Cam Newton's pass.
When you can't win for losing is when you know it's bad. I applauded the 4th and 1 decision and would like to think 9 times out of 10 LaFell makes that catch. In a microcosm of our season, what can go bad will most likely.
So can we turn it around Panther fans? Of course they can! There is always that possibility and this team has gone on late season runs the past two seasons. Here's a thought, let's go ahead and declare the Panthers mathematically eliminated from the play offs so they can relax and go ahead and start their run. I realize technically they are not eliminated but come on, we're splitting hairs in the grand cosmic scheme.
So what has to change? Everything...no, honestly not much. Certainly the offensive line needs to get better but the play calling is doing them no favors either. How about we get Ted Ginn a few more touches for starters.
The pass rush needs to get it back in gear. Are we going to bring the heat or not?
Finally, the pass catchers need some extra work on the jugs machine this week. Ricky P needs to be kicking some ass this week.
If I had to sum it up that would be it. What are your thoughts on the ranking or turning it around in general?

Bitchie Or Not? Keri Hilson Hits The 'Riddick' Red Carpet Premiere
Keri Hilson is owning her new long-braided style!
Yesterday evening, she werked those braids as she pretty girl rocked her way into the premiere of her new film, "Riddick" starring Vin Diesel. Although she revealed that she didn't get a huge amount of screen time in the action flick, she definitely ran the red carpet yesterday as she turned heads in a body-hugging dress and black gold-plated sandals.
Blacktree TV caught up with Keri to ask about her transition into acting, and she revealed:
The transitions been fun. It's a break from the norm but I'm not leaving music, just to be clear. I'm not abandoning music but I am expressing myself in a different way and it's been a really cool ride. I feel like a student again and you live for those moments when you are learning and breathing something new for a change.

My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
You can also check out the Cultivator Manuals on the Cub Manual Server. Both the Cub-144 and the Cub-252 Cultivator Manuals are there. I think the one you want is the 144. This is the cultivator that I have and use with my corn.
Now on to the good stuff:
Welcome to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met
Ok, so here is the spiel.
I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's (both 1 and 2), The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.
Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub.
I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only licensed IH publication reprint shop and they have the best quality.
I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, welcome to the Cub F

text: Consider the analogy of an ignition switch in a vehicle. One might find similar ignition switches in vehicles such as automobiles, boats, and airplanes — vehicles which are otherwise very different from each other. Perhaps, in some sense, an ignition switch can be called a "master control"; but except for telling us that a vehicle can be started by turning on an electrical current, it tells us nothing about that vehicle's structure and function. Similarly, except for telling us how an embryo directs its cells into one of several built-in developmental pathways, homeotic genes tell us nothing about how biological structures are formed. As homeotic genes turn out to be more and more universal, the "control" they exercise in development turns out to be less and less specific.To sum up, developmental geneticists have found that the genes that seem to be most important in development are remarkably similar in many different types of animals, from worms to fruit flies to mammals.

Continued from Keeping Cool Part I
ShadeFor some, like the Roman Horace, who in Epistles I.7 1-7, pleads health reasons for his prolonged vacation, an extended heat-avoiding trip to the country was an option. Since there wasn't enough naturally occurring shade in what is now the general area of Baghdad, the Akkadian monarch Sargon had an attendant hold a sunshade over him, as depicted on a victory monument. The idea spread westward where it was particularly popular in Egypt, and eastward to India.
In Rome the idea became democratized. Many urban women soon sported parasols or what they called umbracula -- light cloth stretched over a wooden frame.
Baths/ShowersFor the ancients, bathing was an important, enjoyable daily activity. After strenuous exercise, a Greek athlete could expect to wash up and cool down in a shower with piped-in water emerging from an artistic animal's mouth.
While there were ample natural bodies of waters, baths were popular. Besides the well-known Roman baths, a 4500 year old one has been uncovered in Mohenjo-Daro, 39' x 23' and ten feet deep. It was lined with bricks and bitumen.
Water Cooling
- In the second century, Athenaeus described an Indian practice of putting water on the roofs at night so it would be cooled.
- Tomb paintings depict Egyptian slaves fanning large storage jars made of porous clay. Through evaporation, what remained inside was chilled.
- Also in Egypt, according to Panati's Extraordinary Origins of Everyday
Things, women placed shallow clay trays of water on straw-beds. Evaporation from top and sides combined with the drop in night temperatures froze the water.
- The salient feature of the phenomenon lay in the air's low humidity, permitting evaporation, or sweating, which leads to cooling.
- An unnamed wealthy Babylonian of 2000 B.C. caused water to be sprayed on the walls and floor of his room. Because of the same principles as above, the evaporation provided an escape from the heat.
- And, again in India, wet grass mats were suspended over openings of the house that faced the wind. The mats were kept wet throughout the night and could cool down the interior by as much as 30 degrees.
Housing ConstructionAccording to Moustafa (members.aol.com/USHorus/forum.htm), the Egyptians
... built their houses from mud brick, which keeps the house cool. Windows were small, and were arranged opposite doors to allow for a cross-draft. Ancient and modern Egyptians have an air shaft in the middle of the buildings. The cool air circulates from the air shaft inside the house.

Some Online References to Sunshades
A flat field by the Nile River containing the remains of more than 25 tombs. In one is depicted a sunshade for the queen.
Hans Croiset, in his Persians, attempted to recreate the world depicted in the play. He signified the queen by putting a sunshade over her.
- Where is the sunshade carrier? Ah! this
stew-pot shall take his place.
What! they would treat me so, and I never saw it?
You knew only how to open and close your ears like a sunshade.
Was I then so stupid and such a dotard?
- Isaiah
Passages from Isaiah contain a simile about a sunshade.
Today we can't force slaves to stand behind us carrying sunshades, nor can we forbid others to enter the sanctuary of our shade, but we still hold hand fans, jump in the lake, drink refreshing iced beverages, and anoint ourselves with fragrances in the tradition of the heat activated Egyptian scent cones that dripped down from their heads to perfume their bodies.
Many of us live in areas too humid to permit the water evaporation method of cooling. For us the advantages of electricity make it hard to imagine unrelenting heat. But for those of us without air conditioners, there's always the time honored tradition of the afternoon siesta.

News: Wiz Khalifa On Juicing Up Taylor Gang, "He's Gonna Be Here Forever"
Wednesday, Dec 7, 2011 10:00PM
Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa has confirmed the hype surrounding Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J heading east and signing a deal with his Taylor Gang record label.
Wiz said admiration of Juicy J during his Three 6 Mafia days secured the deal.
"Yeah that's official, that's good to go," Khalifa confirmed with MTV News on Wednesday night before he took the stage with Snoop Dogg at Terminal 5 in New York. For Wiz, this is an opportunity to link up with an artist that he has looked up to for a long time. "Well, I've always been a huge fan of Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia and what they brought to the game," he said. "As far as their music, as far as their consistency, as far as just if you're in that mood and you know what you wanna hear, they brought it and I respected that. And they brought it for years, since I was young." Turns out, according to Khalifa, Juice was a fan of Wiz as well. "It was like, 'Man we might as well bridge the gap and takeover,' because he's gonna be here forever and I'm gonna be here forever." (MTV)
In late November, Juicy J opened up about his new Taylor Gang affiliation.
"We been talking about it and it just went down," Juicy tells xxlmag.com. "They like brothers to me. It's a blessing. I've been doing this over twenty years [and for] people to still recognize my music and appreciate my music, it's a blessing." Juicy J says that both he and Wiz are already hard at work. "Wiz got a new album coming out next year," he shares. "It's crazy. He's got over 40 songs done. He's still recording. And he's got a compilation album he's gonna put out featuring all of his artists." According to the Memphis native, as of now, those other artists are Chevy Woods, Lola Monroe, Neako and possibly others. (XXL Mag)
A month prior, video vixen-turned-rapper LoLa Monroe broke the news of her Khalifa signing.
She explained why she decided to sign with the "Black and Yellow" rapper. "Wiz is like a positive free individual that's about his business and that matches everything I've created on my side," she said. "When he reached out, he was like, 'I feel as though our movements represent the same thing, so I want you to rep Taylor Gang.' And I agreed, so it's only right. Plus, out of all the situations that came to me, my business instincts and just the comfort level, I felt it was just the right move with him. He's a stand-up dude and it just felt right." LoLa, who was nominated for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at this year's BET Awards, is prepping her debut album and will drop a new single in November. "It's gon' be crazy." (Rap-Up)
In light of the new acts, Taylor Gang's Chevy Woods hit up SOHH and gave his reaction to the team's latest acquisitions.
"I'm bringing my me and my laid back personality. The Taylor Gang is one gang, but we're all different. No one is trying to be other other. All of us do little things to spread their message to the world. Each Taylor Gang member is good with the lane of music they're doing ... we can jump into each others lane and make it work. As far as what I want to get out the game, I'm not looking for a big pot of gold or a certain amount of money or none of that sh**. I'm just lookin' for the repsect and the love." (SOHH)

When it's all said and done what could we have expected? The Carolina Panthers were facing the #1 offense in the NFL with 17 players on injured reserve, with 9 of those players on defense and on Sunday we were without 5 defensive starters, including our #1 pass rusher. Too often in the NFL games come down to who cares more, and it was abundantly clear the Saints cared more about personal stats than the Panthers cared about winning, and the second half typified that.
Carolina are a young team with a lot of growing up needed before they're ready for the limelight, but I am immensely proud of the 6-10 Panthers; a team who not only tripled their win total from a year ago, but who found their franchise QB in the process. Cam Newton isn't perfect, and the maturation process will continue for him throughout the off season. The jump he'll need to make between years one and two are mostly cerebral, and mostly off the field rather than on it. Cam will need to learn how to lead by example better, and understand why it's better to pull everyone along with you when they're playing bad, rather than turn your back. As we've said on several occasions his competitiveness is both his biggest asset, and his greatest weakness; it's what will keep the Panthers in games and lead them to victory, but it will also cause them to implode when he loses control of his emotions, yesterday Cam lost control of his emotions.
More after the jump
Note: If you have read a post-season MMO before then you know I refrain from handing out grades on the final game. It's my belief that we should all head into the off-season even-keeled and ready to go, so no matter how ugly yesterday's game was I will skew this towards the positive, although I will mention the bad too.
It's too easy to critique Cam for being young and foolish at times, so there's no real point to harp on it. At this time of year I'd much sooner point out what he's done well, rather than wax poetic on what he failed to do. So let's take a second to review his entire season:
310/517 (60% completion), 4,051 yards passing, 21 passing TDs, 17 INTs- QB rating of 80.5
126 rushing attempts, 706 rushing yards, 5.5 YPC, 14 rushing TDs
Those numbers should be enough to silence critics, though I know they most certainly wont. Whether it's jealously, racism or just tall poppy syndrome, people hate, and will continue to hate Cam Newton for a variety of reasons, it's something we as fans will need to deal with for his entire time on the team.
One thing is clear though, Newton is our deus ex machina. For the riddle which was the Carolina Panthers it was Cam who saved this team. If he wasn't able to get the grass roots excited in the Carolina's, or if we went defense with that first pick we'd be sitting here now, ho-hum, likely at 4 wins are debating whether we should take RGIII or try and fix another problem on the team. There would be no excitement, no new PSL's and not much optimism heading into 2012. Right now I'm sure yesterday still stings a little, but if you can't see the forest for the trees and still believe this is a terrible football team, then you're beyond hope.
Meet Steve Smith- your all time leading Panthers receiver
During this off-season Smitty won our 'best panther ever' vote in a landslide. Can he act like a jerk sometimes? Sure... but he's our jerk. Like Newton he's the kind of player whose emotions can get the better of him, but he has been able to pull this team along when things were bad. Smitty was the player who could slap Jake on his helmet and bring him out of his funk, and he is the player who made Cam Newton's ride into the NFL easier than it should have been.
As 2011 closed, and 2012 dawned this is how the career of Steve Smith currently stands:
699 receptions, 10,278 receiving yards, 59 TDs
Smitty is a legendary Carolina Panther, and likely to be the next in the ring of honor. I applaud our all-time leading receiver, and can't wait to enjoy the remainder of his career with Cam Newton at QB.
It should also be mentioned that James Anderson broke a record of his own when he set the mark for most tackles by a Carolina Panther in a single season. His mark of 145 bested Jon Beason's record from 2009 when he totaled 142. It's hard to say how much of this was really Anderson dominating, or being the 'next guy up'. One has to imagine that if the roles were reversed and Beason was in, with Anderson on IR then he's beat his own record... but enough of 'ifs and buts'. Heading into this season I was the most iffy about Anderson's big contract extension, purely because 4-3 OLBs seem to be a dime a dozen, unless they're the truly transcendent 'game changing' ones (of which there aren't many). Thankfully though Anderson affirmed to me why the Panthers ponied up and showed him the money. He's been resolute, reliable and trustworthy at a position where you need that kind of player.
Unfortunately, and obviously this game was a blowout so I'd be remiss if I didn't mention more of the bad. Clearly the defense was the primary reason we lost, but with backups and PS players facing what is tantamount to one of the NFL's best ever offenses it was clear it was going to go badly from the Saints' first drive. The only reprieve Carolina could have gotten was if New Orleans chose to rest their starters, which became abundantly clear they had no desire in doing. The secondary was absolutely abysmal, and a great deal of that was due to a lack of talent at the CB position. With Captain Munnerlyn on IR, Darius Butler breaking his arm early in the game and Jordan Pugh inactive we were left piecing together a secondary from PS players, with RJ Stanford playing corner. While Stanford got a good pick, he was pretty much picked on from there on out.
Special mention needs to go to Sherrod Martin who regressed in 2011 more than any player we saw on the entire roster. A promising rookie season gave way to the definition of 'sophomore slump' as the SS tumbled from being one of the league's best in stop rate and YAC allowed, so one of the poorest safeties in the NFL. If there's one saving grace it will be that we can hope he mirrors Charles Godfrey, he too had a terrible second season fraught with miscues and blown coverage, but he managed to regain his footing in his third year. However, based on the importance Rivera places on his safety play, coupled with his propensity to bench players quickly for poor performance could lead to Martin never really getting another shot... time will tell.
Now we can look forward to the off-season, with all the intrigue and curiosity it brings. We no longer need to discuss whether or not the Panthers should be winning because thanks to the Dolphins we have won the 8th overall pick organically, and it could be one of the most curious drafts in recent memory. There have been two occasions the Panthers have picked 8th in their history, and the players run the gamut from bust to probowler as both Tim Biakabutuka and Jordan Gross were the selections. We'll have plenty of time to prognosticate the possibilities, but as it stands I see a chance for there to be a veritable feeding frenzy for the Panthers' pick, whether that's because RGIII is still on the board, or desperate teams want to move up to secure Landry Jones- there are at least three teams directly behind us (Miami, Seattle, Buffalo) all of whom could be looking for a franchise QB.
We'll have the better part of four months here on CSR looking forward to the draft, and it will be a much more exciting off-season with the QB position secure, and no risk of a lockout. I'd like to thank each and every one of our readers for giving me your Monday Morning this season in my own vain attempt to make it a little brighter. Panther faithful it's time to get excited because 2011 was just the tip of the iceberg. Throughout the pre-draft process we heard one transcendent name attached to Cam Newton's... Magic Johnson. It should be noted that Johnson was the #1 overall pick in 1979, the Lakers won the NBA championship in 1980. At this point there's no reason not to dream, right?
100% optimistic heading into the 2012 season. The future is so bright I'm looking for my shades.

Outrage as banned preacher Todd Bentley calls death of former Croydon North MP Malcolm Wicks "the Lord's justice"
10:40am Wednesday 12th December 2012 in Local news By Chris Baynes, Reporter
A controversial Christian preacher who was banned from the UK after a campaign led by Malcolm Wicks has provoked outrage by claiming that the late Croydon North MP's death was divine retribution.
Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley, 36, was blocked from entering the country in August after Mr Wicks wrote to Home Secretary Theresa May to draw attention to his violent 'healing' practices.
Mr Bentley, who had been due to bring his world tour to the Croydon Conference Centre on August 21, claimed he could cure cancer by kicking sufferers in the face.
Footage has now emerged of Mr Bentley telling followers that 65-year-old Mr Wicks's death on September 29, after a battle with the disease, was "the Lord's justice" for his opposition.
In the video, Mr Bentley says God had told him in a dream after the ban that "something very significant" would happen on September 29.
He says: "One thing that is significant about the whole thing is the Lord's justice.
"On September 29 I was preaching in Ohio when I got a report that the man who lead the campaign against us in England had died suddenly of cancer.
"This was a clear release of God's presence and power. The fear of the Lord is going to come."
Mr Wicks' former political colleagues condemned the video posted on Mr Bentley's website as "abhorrent".
Tony Newman, leader of Croydon Council's Labour group, said: "This sick and abhorrent behaviour is just further confirmation of why Malcolm and others called for this individual to be banned and I hope that he is never allowed to set foot in this country again."
Churches in his constiutency have also condemned Mr Bentley's preachings. Rev. Russell Lawson of St Alban the Martyr church, South Norwood, said: "I would certainly not condone this man's comments at all.
"All Anglicans and everyone who comes to our church would be appalled by these comments."

We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
The Bailey Scholarship is awarded to students who self-identify as a member of a group that has traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Award amounts are $1,500 for semester or yearlong programs and $1000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE-ISP Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. $2,000 for semester or yearlong programs and $1,000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
CIEE created the Global Access Initiative (GAIN) to help students overcome the major barriers to studying abroad, namely costs and curriculum requirements. GAIN aids in the diversification of study abroad by providing overseas opportunities for students who are economically challenged. The award is $1500 towards an airline ticket with any remaining funds distributed to the student in the form of a check.
The McDermott Scholarship is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need, and who are either a Public Health or Nursing major, and/or are participating in a CIEE Community Public Health study abroad program. Awards range from $1000-$2500, depending on duration of study and financial need, and are applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.

Total recommended credit for the semester is 15–17 semester/22.5–25.5 quarter hours and 30–32 semester/45–48 quarter hours for the academic year.
Course contact hours are 45 and recommended credit for all courses is 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours per course, unless otherwise indicated.
A full course load for the semester is five courses. All study abroad students enroll in a required intensive Italian language course at the start of each semester. Following the intensive language session, all students are required to continue their Italian language study at the appropriate level throughout the semester, and take the CIEE core course and two content courses in English.
Surrounded by more than six miles of walls that have stood the test of time for centuries, Ferrara feels like a charming, small fortress. Wide streets, Renaissance palaces, moats, and bastions add to the mystique. The city developed as an intellectual and artistic center around a ford of the River Po, and is still all that – and more. Ferrara is close to Bologna, midway between Venice and Florence, yet relatively unknown to tourists. Ride a bicycle to class just like the locals, and visit Ferrara's outstanding museums. The city is extremely safe, clean, and accessible with a small-town feel, yet boasts world-class art treasures and exhibits.
Riccardo Rossi is a Ferrara native and has worked with CIEE since the inception of the program. Riccardo is responsible for all administrative aspects of the program.
PatriziaTurchi studied special needs education and play therapy in Italy and in the United Kingdom. Her work experience has centered on learning support for pupils and families.
The University of Ferrara was founded in 1391. Faculties and departments include history, philosophy, languages and literatures, education, law, and natural sciences, among others. There are approximately 12,000 students enrolled, with a teaching staff of 600. CIEE students have access to the University's libraries, computers, student canteen, sports facilities, playing fields, tennis courts, and gymnasium.
Housing, in apartments or homestays, is included in the study abroad program fee. Homestay, including two meals per day, are located in and outside the city center. Living in a homestay is a great opportunity to experience how Italians live firsthand, but requires a commitment on the part of the student. Families that welcome American students in their home may be interested in American culture and enjoy the opportunity to house foreign students and the possibility of cultural exchange that it offers. Students who choose a homestay must adapt to a different daily schedule and new ways of dealing with day-to-day issues. Homestay opportunities are limited and CIEE cannot guarantee a student's first choice housing placement.
Students staying in the apartments share a double room and shared bathroom and kitchen facilities with another CIEE student.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Ferrara even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE
online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
Each semester begins with a mandatory three-day orientation session organized by CIEE resident staff. It includes an academic orientation, introduction to Italian customs and culture, information on personal safety, and cultural activities throughout Ferrara. During this time, you'll begin your intensive Italian language instruction. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. Internet access is not guaranteed at homestays; however, you will be able to access the Internet at the university and CIEE Study Center. You will be given a University of Ferrara email address and be able to use the computers, free of charge, at the University of Ferrara's computer labs, but please note these labs have limited hours. Past students have purchased wireless keys, which have resolved the issue where Internet is not available.
The CIEE Study Center in Ferrara opened in 2003. This study abroad program is designed for students with little or no Italian language background and a strong interest in learning the Italian language and culture through content courses taught in English and an intensive Italian language class. Eligible students may want to consider spending the spring semester in the Liberal Arts program in Ferrara.
The courses are designed for U.S. undergraduates so the teaching and learning methods will be familiar to most students from the U.S. All classes are taught by local faculty and require students to work independently outside the classroom. Learning takes place through a coherent blend of lectures, group seminars, and practical work. Most U.S. students consider the courses to be rigorous in comparison to courses at their home universities. Classes take place Monday through Friday.
All CIEE classes are with CIEE students only.
Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Italian at all times (except
in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Italian language proficiency and understanding of Italian society.
Assessment is based on the students' overall performance. Each professor evaluates CIEE students based on class participation and academic work, including essays and examinations, throughout the semester. All courses have writing assignments. Students may have a written final examination and/or written paper. Assessment for course grades are explained on individual course syllabi. Language courses tend to have multiple written tests and numerous writing assignments.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Contemporary Italian History: From Unification to the Present
This course provides an overview of Italian history from the revolutionary and nation-building movement of the Risorgimento up to Berlusconi's second government in 2001. Students analyze the impact of the First and Second World Wars on Italian society and identity, the diversity of the Italian regions, and the differences between north and south. Important events in Italy since 1945, such as reconstruction and the 'economic miracle,' the cultural revolution of the 1970s, and contemporary Italian politics are examined, and special attention is paid to long-term social issues (migration, the Mafia, etc). The course also focuses on historical developments up to the present day, including the challenge of terrorism, the 'clean hands' revolution, and new political parties.Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Italian Renaissance Art
The course introduces students to the world of art through art historians' methods. It particularly provides skills and techniques needed to read a Renaissance work of art, as well as appreciate it aesthetically. As a work of art is a complex phenomenon, all of its aspects must be analyzed to be understood. Which colors, shapes, and lines are used? What is the meaning? But also, who is the artist? What is his cultural background? What materials and techniques are used? What was its original setting? And finally, for whom was it done? All these questions need to be answered in order to have a deep and critical awareness of an artwork. The course acquaints the students with major protagonists of Italian Renaissance Art. It examines the evolution and development of Western Art, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, focusing on a selection of centers, great artists, and their masterpieces. Moreover, Ferrara with its outstanding monuments is our case study, giving students a great opportunity to examine artworks within their original settings.Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Seminar on Living and Learning in Ferrara
The CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in Ferrara, taught in English, is designed to improve students' intercultural communication and competence while studying abroad by considering how Italians are different from, and similar to, themselves and others. The course offers opportunities, both in and outside the classroom, to develop insights and the skills necessary to interact effectively and appropriately, and to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural richness of Italy. Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy
1182 saw the birth of the great preacher and founder of the Franciscan Order, Francis of Assisi. After initial suspicion of Francis's essentially plebeian religious movement, Pope Innocent III offered the monk and his followers safe harbor in the Catholic Church. Almost four centuries later, another evangelical Catholic, religious innovator, and humanist, PietroCarnesecchi, was brutally put to death by a newly invigorated Catholicism. This course charts the 400-year journey of the states, republics, and principalities which today constitute the nation of Italy. It starts with a look at the social and political make-up of Medieval Italy within a European context and then focuses on particular groups, movements, institutions, events, and ideas including the Mendicant orders like the Franciscans and the Dominicans, popular and heretical religious beliefs and sects such as Dualism and Cathars (prevalent in Northern Italy), the European-wide phenomenon of witchcraft, the temporal and spiritual institution of the Papacy, the last Crusade and the Inquisition, Martin Luther, John Calvin, the theological Concept of justification by faith and Protestantism, and, finally, the Catholic Church's answer to the 'new faith'—the Counter Reformation whose conclusions ultimately sealed the terrible fate of PietroCarnesecchi. Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Italy and the European Union
This is an introductory course on the European Union and the shifting European context in the framework of post 1945 historical development. The process of European Integration is posing new challenges to nation states, both at the level of their functioning and role and at the level of national identities. This course explores the evolution of the project of European integration from the small European Economic Community of 1957 to the continent-wide European Union of today. Alongside it will explore the critical areas of EU policy from migration policy to the democratic and public opinion deficit and economic convergence of the European area. The weight of geographical difference and of local identities, etc. will be examined. The necessary theoretical background will be provided, supported, and discussed through empirical examples. Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Creating Italy: Gender, Ethnicity, and Italian National Identity
This course will explore issues of ethnicity and race in Italy over the last hundred years and more, investigating how these have interacted with concepts of Italian national identity. We shall range from Fascist ideas of womanhood to Pasolini's ideas on homosexuality and from Italy's fraught relationship with Ethiopia to the contemporary reporting of migration. The most celebrated of phrases on Italian national identity is perhaps that attributed to d'Azeglio, 'We have created Italy. Now we have to create Italians.' The ultimate aim of this course is to explore the implications of this quote over the last hundred years. Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.
Culture, Translation, and Language
This course, taught in English with Italian texts, aims to take an in-depth look at contemporary Italy through modern and contemporary texts and artifacts. The opportunity for profound appropriation of texts offered by the experience of translation serves as a tool for greater appreciation of Italian society and, at the same time, offers a chance for students to develop a practical life skill and deepen their linguistic awareness and abilities. Students are expected to take an active role in their personal linguistic and cultural explorations and to present their discoveries and findings to the class. Contact hours: TBD. Recommended credit: TBD semester/TBD quarter hours.

Armstrong Houston as he appears in Nintendo Power's Super Metroid (comic).
|Red (beard)
|Eye color
|Freelance (possibly Galactic Federation)
Armstrong Houston is a Bounty Hunter who appears in the Super Metroid Nintendo Power comics series. Armstong was once saved by Samus Aran in an asteroid field and has since desired to be her partner. He uses a type of Power Suit which is blue with a black visor, and appears more bulky, although it is said in the comics that it possesses lower shielding and the inability to recharge energy.
He also possesses a gunship similar to Samus' iconic spaceship. He does barely any fighting and is only around to collect bounties such as Space Pirate claws, but he does warn Samus of danger and cheers her on. He seems sort of desperate to be her partner.
A suit similar to his (blue with an orange visor) was one of the colors for Samus in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Multiplayer mode. While Armstrong is the only named character in this story not to reappear in the Metroid Manga, he was a recurring character in the Blood of the Chozo interactive online story (set years after Mother Brain's defeat). He is referred to as Houston Barrimonde in this story.
- Armstrong Houston shares the same initials with another blue-suited acquaintance of Samus Aran, Anthony Higgs.
- His name may have originated from the last name of the astronaut Neil Armstrong, and the NASA base of mission control, which is Houston.

Stress Support for Those That are Stressed Out to the Max
Considering everything we do is stressful; understand that there is good stress and bad stress. Eating more under stress and becoming emotionally disturbed with cravings for more food triggers our emotions even further. For our crazy lifestyle where the whole world is churning around us, Bach Flowers Rescue Remedy, which comes in a tincture or spray, is very helpful. For those spur of the moments when one needs calming, Bach Flowers Cherry Plum helps. Stress factors can include change of relationship, unpredictability, insecurity etc. You know yourself when too much is happening and you are on that merry-go-round, on your way to the funny farm. Sitting back and learning to adjust is not only painful and stressful, but difficult. Stress Support with theanine (a unique amino acid found in tea leaves) by Jarrow Formulas produces a relaxed alert situation, influencing brain neurotransmitters. Learning to cope with very difficult situations, and being on the receiving end of all of this, can make us ber with the right nutritional supplementation such as Country Life's Stress-M, which has aminos that crosses the blood brain barrier.
I'm not mentioning here all the pharmaceuticals that we are brainwashed into thinking that will calm our nerves and make us a better person. There are a lot of prescriptions as a first line of defense written for stress, and explaining all the side effects. If we have those side effects, we better start cleaning our liver, as you may be aware our liver holds all those toxins. Stress hits us there too, and stays. One very good product is Bupleurum Liver Cleanse by Planetary Herbals, a 5000-year-old Chinese herb with other yin and yang herbs. Stress becomes so many diseases and stores in our bodies like an unwelcome guest, it can hit anywhere … the digestion tract, bladder, heart rate, muscles, skin issues, and brain of course telling our organs what to do. This is the number one on the list of what happens to us. It can also trigger release of hormones that promote blood clotting …for that better take Wobenzym. Stress also releases glucose into the blood stream, causes hypertension and hardening of the arteries, strokes and heart attacks. No wonder all those guys are getting zapped! Try Tense Ease by Nature's Answer.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, includes Pre-Occupation with stressful events, since this is the most stressed out society in the history of mankind and the most chemical-laden century,
The Biochemical Stages of Stress
4 Fast Oxidation, excessive hormones, and unbalanced minerals. We can get help from the Ionic Minerals by Now Foods
4 Mild to Slow Oxidation, reduced adrenal & thyroid activity. Adrenal Cortex by Enzymatic Therapy and Thyroid Energy by Now Foods can help.
4 Very slow Oxidation, low adrenal exhaustion. Try Schizandra Adrenals by Planetary Formulas or Raw thymus by Ultra Glandulars
Oxidation occurs when the thyroid gland is not functioning at required levels and is the process by which certain elements combine with oxygen to release energy at the cellular level. Sub-Lingual B12 by Now Foods helps keep Nerve and Brain tissue from being wiped out. Adaptogen Herbs, (what's this? that's when the body loses it's ability to adapt to anything) include Hops, Passion Flower, Scullcap, to name a few.
There is so much help nutritionally here, sending better signals to our brain, calming our nervous system, better eating habits, exercising, all are helpers, but we need to look at our nutritional for better results to keep us younger and healthier.

Associate Director - Strategy & Analysis Interview (Negative Experience; Average Interview)
The process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Digitas in March 2014.
Interview Details – The interviews were fine. There were 2 initial phone screens and then they invited me in for in-person. I met with 4 people for 30 mins each in their individual offices which honestly weren't very nice but fine. The interviews seem to me to have went well. I currently work in a similar position at a competing company so I feel well qualified. The issue was I never heard back with a final determination. I followed up with the recruiter who said I would hear back soon then nothing. I sent 2 more emails which were ignored and not responded to so I dropped it. I just find it so rude and unprofessional that they don't follow up even to say something like they went with another candidate but let's keep in touch.
Interview Question – Lots of questions about my current work since I have a similar job at a competing agency. Answer Question

Associate Director - Strategy & Analysis Interview (Neutral Experience; Average Interview)
I applied online and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Digitas in May 2011.
Interview Details – Hiring process is pretty typical and fast- start off with a phone screen with HR and then an in person interview with 4/5 people in the team
Interview Question – If you had $10M, how would you invest in a marketing campaign View Answer
Reason for Declining – Not the lifestyle I wanted- very much work long hours and then party with your coworkers after work.

I must admit I don't follow Texas Soccer... at all, basically. But it's great to hear that Texas has won their second Big XII Championship, and the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, by upsetting the top-seeded Aggies today in San Antonio, 2-1. After making it to the top of the national rankings around mid-season, Texas hit a bit of a slump and fell as low as #12. Hopefully this win today over aTm - who are ranked as high as #2 in some polls - will help Texas get a good seed for the post-season.
Not a good weekend for our neighbors to the East. A stomping by Texas Volleyball Friday night, a stomping by Missouri in Football on Saturday, and now an upset loss to Texas in Soccer today. Pooooooor Aggie, indeed.

It's springtime and that means it's the perfect time to bring your tennis game to Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort – and Hilton Head Island.
Shortly after the Heritage PGA Tour golf tournament put Hilton Head Island on the map in the 1960s, tennis stars lobbed the island into the tennis stratosphere and Hilton Head has remained a popular, world-class tennis destination ever since.
One of the most popular places for tennis on the island is the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. Recently named the No. 1 tennis resort in the Carolinas and among the top 10 in the nation by Tennis Magazine, Palmetto Dunes is also ranked No. 2 in the world for instruction and events, No. 3 in the world for junior programs and No. 5 in the world overall by our guests via Tennis Resorts Online.
When you book your home or villa through Palmetto Dunes, you can play tennis for free two hours every day. You have your pick of 23 clay and two Nova ProBounce courts at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. Six courts are lighted for night play, just perfect for those warm South Carolina nights.
Atop all of that is a packed schedule of Hilton Head tennis tournaments from February to November. This spring and summer includes the 6th annual Banana Open Junior Challenge, a singles tournament for boys and girls on May 4-6; the 33rd annual Banana Open for men and women competing in singles, doubles and combo mixed doubles from June 1-3. Don't forget the 5th annual Palmetto Dunes Tennis Fall Classic from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 that features men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles.
And if you'd like to improve your game, join our weekly complimentary tennis exhibitions Mondays at 5:30 p.m. to watch our pros battle it out on Centre Court while you enjoy cocktails. On Tuesdays, we also offer Demo Days at 2 p.m., where you can try out the latest in racquet technology and ask our pros any questions you have.
Join us for a game, set or match. Tennis, Hilton Head Island and Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. That's a classic combination.
