excellent addition to my bag Keeps ball straiter and adds 20yards to my drives. Slightly heavier then a Ping or Cobra so it gets some used to November 19, 2014
Great club One of the best driver's I have demo'd and bought. November 5, 2014
I could not wait to try the shot shape The SLDR lived up to what I was hoping for. I was able hit my fades every time with longer shots. November 4, 2014
Great driver! I gained 30 yards the first day I used this driver! Never hit straighter! November 4, 2014
Great Driver I have it set for a draw, about 3/4 the way over and it is impossible to hit a fade. I am really happy with the club. I purchased the 3 and 5 woods as well. I like the weight of the heads. The weight makes them easy to swing. October 22, 2014
Excellent club, added 20 yds to my drive! This is a excellent addition to my golf bag. I can adjust club to draw or fade the ball as well as set height in loft of the ball. I recommend this club to anyone that would like to improve their game. October 20, 2014
This driver is absolutely amazing When I went to purchase I was intending to get the SLDR S but after hitting both drivers in the simulator I fell in love with the SLDR. I am hitting the ball monstrous yards with good accuracy. When I do slice its always because of a personally fault. The ball does go higher but my goodness does it soar far as well. October 20, 2014
Top driver out on the market at this time, The draw/fade weight and the shaft/loft options make this club the easiest to tune to your swing Amazing results, I've gained yardage and accuracy with the adjustments I have set for the club. I'm a 7 handicap and have been playing to almost a 2 handicap with the addition of this club in my bag. October 18, 2014
great driver The staff at dicks Gary,randy,Abe,and Kevin were great as usually. Great staff at the las Cruces nm store. Can't beat the driver October 15, 2014
This driver was what I was looking for This was the first new driver I have ever purchased I was ever thing I had heard it was October 1, 2014

Calling all yacht builders!
As the Fed's webmaster, one of the most popular questions that I am asked is "where do I get land yacht plans from?". Well the only plans that I am aware of are for British Landsailing's very own class 5 yacht, the FED-5. This yacht has proved successful in the U.K, and it has also been built in Australia and the U.S., where it was used for 'one-design' racing. If you are interested in building this yacht, there are more details on the FED-5 page.
The FED-5 is a great yacht, suitable for recreational sailing and racing, but it won't suit everybody. It would be great if we could get some information about other yachts that people have designed and built, so that other potential land sailors with the engineering ability to construct their own yacht can become involved in our sport.
It is important to understand that building a land yacht is not a project that should be undertaken without first gaining a thorough understanding of the forces that will act upon the craft. Commercial manufacturers have years of experience in this area, and they know exactly where the main stress areas are, they design the craft accordingly and use specific materials. When designing and building your own yacht, you should study as many yachts as you can. If certain parts of a yacht look 'over-engineered', they probably aren't, because the designer knew that they were high stress areas and that they required special attention.
The technical section of this website would be the perfect place for us to showcase the work of private yacht (or yacht parts) builders, so I am inviting anybody who has some construction experience to contact me, and we will get your work published, so that people with an interest in home-builds can benefit.
We can publish as little or as much detail as you wish. We can simply provide contact details to allow others to get in touch, or we can publish a fully detailed construction with material specs, working drawings, and photos if available. You decide what we publish, and of course, all contributors will be properly credited for their work.
If you would like to contribute to this page, please contact the British Landsailing webmaster.

Holy Bats, Batman! It's a BAT box!
Earlier this week I had a FABULOUS evening crafting with friends. Yup, that's what a Stampin' Up! party is all about!! I brought all the supplies to make a couple of fun projects, and this little Halloween bat box was one of them. Do you recognize the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies (135853)?
This is actually a pretty simple punch art creation. Let me get you started!
Be sure to pin the graphic above so you'll be able to find it again. And if you haven't already, be sure to follow me on Pinterest!
Start with a medium sized die from the Ovals Collection Framelits (129381) and cut an oval from Basic Black card stock (121045)).
Cut the oval in half on a diagonal.
Use a 1-1/4″ Circle Punch (119861) to cut small curves from the bottom side of each 'wing'.
Assemble the box and fold a little tab back at the 'shoulder' end of each wing. Adhere the wings to the box.
Add the eyes and punch the ears and fangs with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch (122361). After adding the ears to your box, use scissors to clip away the handle between the ears.
Draw the smile and eye sparkle with the White Stampin' Chalk Marker (132133).
Stamp a little message and punch with the Word Window Punch (119857). Tie on the batty wing and you're all set!
Happy Stamping!

Last Day: Holiday Catalog & Scentsational Season
My friend Becky Strater made these adorable Gift Card holders as a twist on our Stamp Club project from earlier this month (the Punch Art Elf). I loved them so much that I wanted to share them with you. I know Christmas is over, but so (almost!) is the Holiday Catalog. TODAY is the last day to order!
So if you love these little trees, they were cut using the Scentsational Seasons Framelits (love them – see them online – 127814) and today is the last day to order these shapes and the coordinating stamp set.
Did you see how Becky made the 3d trees? She cut out 3 tree shapes from the Framelits: 2 of designer series paper (remove the trunks) and one from Old Olive card stock. Then she folded the designer paper trees in half and glued the shapes together.
Pretty neat, eh? If you'd like the directions for the Two Tags Die gift card holder, they're here on my blog.
Don't forget — last day to order these shaped framelits is today!! While you're at it, be sure to check out the Clearance Rack for extra bonus bargains, while supplies last!

Elf on the Shelf: Punch Art for Gift Cards
Do you have an Elf on the Shelf at your house? Our elf is named Freddyting, and the kids love to check out his daily adventures. So this year I decided to create some Elf on the Shelf gift card holders using the Two Tags Die (see it online – 115954) and my Stampin' Up! punches.
The gift card holder itself is simple:
- Cut Gumball Green card stock to 3-3/4″ x 7″. Score the card stock at 1/2″ and 3-3/4″. Fold into a flat tube and adhere on the tab.
- Use the Big Shot and the Two Tags Die to cut out a Real Red large tag. Cut another large tag bottom and trim at the score line. Glue to the edges of the tag to make a pocket.
- Add ribbon & Gumball Green Designer Series Pattern Paper and decorate with your elf! (click below for a larger picture)
Here are the links for the punches (gotta love the Red Glimmer Paper 121790):
- Full Heart Punch (119883)
- Ornament Punch (119847)
- Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (teeny scallop & circle) (118309)
- Modern Label Punch (119849)
- 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (cut in 1/2) (119854)
- Merry Minis Punch Pack (ornament) (126882)

Pizza & Swaps Night: so many ideas captured!
During the last night of Convention, we gather as a group to share pizzas from The Pie in Salt Lake City – if you haven't had their pizza before, it's quite the experience. Their large pizzas are absolutely humongous!
We also bring all the swap cards we've received during the week and lay them out on tables so that everyone can see all the fabulous ideas that they might like to take home with them, even if they didn't receive that particular swap card.
There are always tons of fun ideas to see, and I usually take another 100+ photos to bring home and have for future card ideas!
Here are a few of my favorites – and since I don't have the swaps, I don't have names to give credit to the artists. If you recognize a card, please leave me a comment so I can give credit! Here's a fun card using Designer Paper strips to make a patchwork quilt (check out the directions on my blog):
Here's another great idea for using up Designer Series Paper scraps – love this banner!! Thanks to Dee Tollakson for sharing this card!
And here's a fabulous watercolor card – using the Pleasant Poppies (see it online) stamp set. Want some watercolor tips? Here's a Video Tutorial from my blog.
Here's a card using the Moving Forward stamp set (see it online). This set is special because when you purchase it, $3 from your purchase goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Stampin' Up! has donated over $1 million to RMHC through the sales of the yearly RMCH stamp sets! Thanks to Sarah Sagert (Artisan Award Winner!) for sharing her card:
Here's another card with the same Moving Forward stamp set, by Artisan Award Winner Heather Summers:
And here are some Punch Art treats that were absolutely adorable!! The little skunk and raccoon could hardly be cuter!! If you're into little animal images, be sure to check out my Stamps in the Mail Club for August… and the Owl Occasions stamp set!
Okay, that's it for now, but really, too many fun ideas to cover, even if I posted one each day of the year!

Perky Penguin Punch Art Greetings
Sometimes it's a clean and simple card that pops out at me the most. I'm completely in love with this little penguin Christmas Card! I designed this card with the Owl Builder Punch (see it online) and the Petite Pairs stamp set (see it online) for my Christmas Card Stamp A Stack Class tomorrow. So you could make the card yourself at home, or if you're in Central Illinois, you can join me and make 4 of these little guys with me (plus 12 other cards)!
The penguin is completely done with the Owl Builder Punch. Did you see my Reindeer Punch Art with the Owl Punch? It's only one punch, but there are so many uses.
The little patch of ice underneath the penguin was punched from the Silver Glimmer Paper (see it online) with the Small Oval Punch (see it online). I'm pretty much addicted to the Silver Glimmer Paper (check out some of my other projects). This paper comes with two 12×12″ sheets in a package, and a little bit (like here!) goes a LONG way.
Fun thing about the Petite Pairs stamp set, too. Each greeting comes in two parts, so the 2nd part is perfect for adding inside a card. With the clean and simple lines on the front of the card, I went with 'clean and simple' on the inside, too.
Do you love punches as much as I do? Be sure to check out some other Punch Ideas on my blog!

text: BH Interview: 'Wrong Turn 5' Director Gives Horror Fans What They Want Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 23 Oct 2012 post a comment Director Declan O'Brien has no problem giving horror movie fans what they want. O'Brien, the director of three "Wrong Turn" features, routinely scours horror sites to find out what the fans demand in their blood-soaked genre. That usually means "over the top" gore, gratuitous sex scenes and old school special effects, O'Brien bluntly tells Big Hollywood. They get that, and more, with "Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines," the latest installment of the low-fi horror franchise. The film, out Oct. 23 on Blu-ray and DVD, finds the flesh-eating mutant trio running into a "Mountain Man Festival" on Halloween. Meanwhile, a new cast of young pretty types end up on the mutants' dinner table. "I wanted to take the cannibals out of their usual environment and put them in a real town setting. They only way to do this is to set it at Halloween when their look blends right in," O'Brien says. What separates the fifth film from previous installments is the introduction of actor Doug Bradley as the mutants' caretaker. Bradley is a horror institution having played Pinhead in the "Hellraiser" franchise, and while the mutants can barely put two syllables together Bradley's character boasts a slick, barbed tongue. "He definitely knows the genre," he says of Bradley, adding the actor would work extensively on line deliveries to find just the right horrific note to hit. The "Saw" franchise may have set the bar for discomforting horror movie sequences, but the "Wrong Turn" movies may be a close second. You need a strong stomach and an appetite for conventional horror makeup to endure these ghastly "Turns." "If you're gonna go there in a horror movie you should go all the way," he says sans apology. Most filmmakers dream of seeing their features on the big screen, but the "Wrong Turn" franchise now exists solely as a direct-to-video extension of the first film. O'Brien isn't complaining. Nor are the folks bankrolling the franchise. "They trust me at this point because I sell a lot of disks," he says. "Thank God for the home video market. You can make a movie the way you want to make it and don't have to worry about distributors or about the MPAA ... people are afraid to make an R-rated horror movie." O'Brien is willing, however, to shoot extra, less explicit footage for television distribution. The director is already mulling ideas for a sixth "Turn," one he hopes will once again feature Bradley. He might even find inspiration from those very same fans who keep him informed on their horror movie tastes. "Wrong Turn" fans often send messages via Facebook to him about what they'd like to see in future installments. So, have any fan comments made their way into the franchise? "Not yet," he says.

Leave it to a Texan to blast away the stylistic strictures of spinning, mixing and scratching and to do so with a Lone Star twist. Appearing as part of a long national tour with Of Montreal, Grand Buffet and MGMT, DJ Jester--aka The Filipino Fist, aka Mike Pendon--sees just about everything as grist for the mix: TV show themes, indie rock, country music, cheesy pop, metal, even the bleating of workout queen Richard Simmons. You name it, Jester may well have fed it into his ingenious and visionary mix 'n' mash Cuisinart. And all without forsaking the soul, techno and hip-hop foundation of dance music with a mighty groove. A first-generation Filipino-American from West Columbia, Texas, who almost single-handedly kick-started the San Antonio DJ scene, he brings such Texcentric touches to his sets as snippets of Willie Nelson, George Strait and Sir Doug. And don't be surprised if the theme from Dallas pops up in his Big D set. As the name implies, this Jester injects a cheeky and offbeat sense of humor into his soundscapes, as well as a wild spirit of sonic adventure and a command of those butt-shaking beats per minute. A genuine original with smarts and turntable savvy, Jester truly spins for the people--all of them.

Deals site LivingSocial says it's been hacked
Updated On: Apr 26 2013 09:40:48 PM EDT
Online deals service LivingSocial says its website has been hacked, and the personal data of more than 50 million customers may have been affected.
The company says it's advising all customers Friday evening to change their passwords and that it's contacting customers in most of the countries where it operates.
Read more: Credit card data not affected, company says
In an email to customers, the company says customers' names, email addresses and dates of birth may have been exposed by the cyberattack. But it says the database that stores customer credit-card information was not affected.
The Washington, D.C.-based company says it's working with law enforcement officials to investigate the attack.
It's the latest bad news for LivingSocial. Last November, the company announced it was cutting 400 jobs worldwide, as the deals marked continued to face challenges.

Billy Corgan Planning Memoir, New Smashing Pumpkins Album
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is rarely at a loss for words, and he's clearly not shy about sharing his thoughts — so it comes as no surprise that he's working on a memoir.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is rarely at a loss for words, and he's clearly not shy about sharing his thoughts — so it comes as no surprise that he's working on a memoir.
It's been a while since Billy Corgan last made headlines for getting into a slap fight with another band. We figured maybe he had decided to lay low as he prepares for the Smashing Pumpkins' upcoming tour, but most likely, it's because he's run out of bands to complain about. That was the implication last Friday (Aug. 31), when Corgan went on the radio to clarify his recent remarks about Soundgarden.
Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, because we've got some shocking news to scramble all your preconceptions of life as we know it. Ready? Billy Corgan, frontman of the Smashing Pumpkins, spoke negatively about another band during an interview! Don't believe us? We've got the quotes to prove it.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has been talking trash about just everyone in music this year, and now beloved grunge goliaths Soundgarden are no exception.
Smashing Pumpkins' music is all over the map — they touch on everything from psych rock and electronica to folk-tinged indie pop, sometimes — but frontman Billy Corgan isn't shy to say that head-banging metal has always been a major influence. But while he personally is very vocal about the hard-hitting tunes he's into, he feels that metal as a whole doesn't get the respect that it deserves in the alternative community.
While the Smashing Pumpkins of today have gone through many transformations since the Smashing Pumpkins of yesteryear, one thing remains a constant – Billy Corgan.
The Smashing Pumpkins and EMI Music are continuing their ambitious reissue campaign with the band's entire catalog. The new entry into the series is the unlikely platinum-selling compilation disc, 'Pisces Iscariot,' which is set to be released later this month.
Billy Corgan has a lot of trash to talk as he does the promotional rounds for Smashing Pumpkins' new 'Oceania' album — from his "piss on f—in' Radiohead" comment to his total dissing of his former bandmates — and his latest target is a big one. Speaking to Fuse, the singer pretty much bashed all bands of the grunge generation, calling them out for not living up to the ideals they supposedly set back in the roaring '90s.
In a recent interview, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan offered his take on the grunge explosion of the '90s both praising and criticizing bands such as Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
Billy Corgan seems to subscribe to the notion that if you don't have anything nice to say, then … say it to the international press? The singer hasn't held his ex-Smashing Pumpkins bandmates in the highest regard since the original lineup's final split back in 2000, and he definitely throws another log on the fire of drama that is the band's post-split relationship in a new interview with NME.
Rolling Stone magazine posted its readers' poll for the top 20 Smashing Pumpkins songs. I personally think the list was a little weird, but who am I to say what the voters like?
The Smashing Pumpkins broke new ground when they released their double-disc, epic 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' back in 1995. Now, Pumpkins mastermind Billy Corgan claims that a deluxe edition of 'Mellon Collie' could contain material from up to 75 unreleased tracks.

Salazar pushes Hanford reactor as national park
The secretary of the interior took a look Sunday at Hanford's historic B Reactor, one of the property's he soon is expected to oversee within the national park system.
Tri-City Herald
The secretary of the interior took a look Sunday at Hanford's historic B Reactor, one of the property's he soon is expected to oversee within the national park system.
Sec. Ken Salazar toured the reactor at the invitation of Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., at the conclusion of a weekend visit to Washington. He also was accompanied by Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
"We have not yet done a good enough job of telling the story of World War II and the nuclear era born out of the war," he said as he stood beneath the towering front face of the reactor, where fuel once was loaded into its core.
In July, Salazar recommended to Congress that a Manhattan Project National Historical Park be formed with properties at Hanford, Los Alamos, N.M., and Oak Ridge, Tenn., to commemorate the top-secret project to develop the atomic bomb during World War II.
B Reactor would be a key attraction of the proposed park as the world's first full-scale reactor. It produced plutonium for the first nuclear explosion in the New Mexico desert and the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, helping end the war.
"It is a story that tells itself," Salazar said. It's a story both of the reactor's role on the world stage and also a story of human ingenuity, he said.
Just months after scientists achieved the first man-made chain reaction, construction began at Hanford to produce plutonium at the industrial scale. Amid fears that Germany also was racing to develop an atomic bomb, B Reactor was built in just 13 months.
At B Reactor the nation can see what the human mind "can do in a short time in defense of the nation, Gregoire said.
"This is part of the history of the state of Washington," she said. "It says when the nation was challenged we stepped up to ensure the (survival) of the nation."
As part of the national park system, B Reactor will attract visitors not only from across the nation but also from around the globe, she said.
National parks "bring heads to beds," boosting the tourism economies of their local communities, Salazar said. Annually 6.5 million jobs are created by outdoor recreation, he said.
Cantwell and Hastings authored legislation that required a study of Manhattan Project artifacts and options for preserving them, the key initial step toward making B Reactor part of the national park system.
With the Department of Energy and Tri-City supporters of B Reactor, they helped convince park service officials that the many concerns about incorporating a nuclear reactor into a national park could be overcome.
Making B Reactor part of the national park system will provide access to park staff, resources to tell the Manhattan Project story and the high profile that will attract more visitors, Cantwell said.
Next Cantwell and Hastings will work to get legislation passed to create the new national park and to lay out the details of how a multi-state, dual-federal agency park will be operated. DOE has committed to continuing to play a strong role at the reactor.
Hastings said his preference is that money needed to tell the story of the Manhattan Project not be siphoned from other national parks.
"We're thinking outside the box" as legislation is written, he said.

Accudart Response Bristle Dartboard Cabinet Set 13 13
2 bummers so far Received two so far...one that missed quality control checks and the other with a broken case. Neither dry erase markers worked. I'm giving the company a 2 stars though because they said an upgraded version of the dart board I bought is in the mail; no questions asked. Just hope this one is up to par. February 24, 2014
Cracked and poor design I know why this was on clearance. The case was to small to properly mount the board. The case is flimsy and mine came cracked. Really weak product. February 18, 2014
Dartboard The board seems really nice, it is made out of the real stuff and don't leave marks from the darts. The darts are not that great, one came broken in the box and the others don't hold together well. February 4, 2014
Broken It was broken in the box. Nice way to give a Christmas gift. December 31, 2013
Has Potential Got this for Christmas and was super excited! After opening it up, the scoreboard that comes with it was not in the box. Also, the wire that separates the point values was off by and 1/8th of an inch. This tells me there is a lack of quality control. I will be taking it back and trying another one. I do like the open cabinet. December 27, 2013
Great Product Great Product for the Price. My Grandson & I have enjoyed it very much June 23, 2013
Good dartboard, Worthless Cabinet The dart board seems to be decent, especially for the price. Unfortunately it shipped with a broken cabinet. The cabinet is not very well assembled. I was able to fix it with some small finish nails, which was better than the alternative of shipping it back and waiting for another one to arrive, hopefully not broken. Its a good buy, just have some wood glue or finish nails ready to go just in case. June 18, 2013
Accudart Dartboard is not great - poor quality control The dartboard is average quality but the wire that divides the numbers was off by as much as 1/8". This is okay for casual use but I don't appreciate the lack of quality control. For the price and to avoid a hassle, I am keeping it but if I had seen it first, I would have opted for something a bit more expensive and better. May 24, 2013
Dart board Wood panel Fell apart when I took it out of the box. Think I can glue back together with wood glue. I have seen similar posts noting poor quality. Also the box it was shipped in was completely trashed. March 25, 2013
GREAT BUY! The dart board is great quality for the price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to buy a dart board. Yes the darts shafts are plastic (will break easy), but that comes with the price. Also, the instructions for setting up the board are not in the packaging, so you will have to go to the Accudart website for the full instructions. March 9, 2013

Fukuyama 25 years after 'The End of History'—what is this 'History'?
By David Sterman
Best Defense guest columnist
The question of "what is History?" loomed over the Cato Institute's June 6 retrospective on Francis Fukuyama's famous essay "The End of History," an event featuring Fukuyama himself and a group of other panelists.
As Adam Garfinkle, the founding editor of the American Interest, noted, Fukuyama's essay is perhaps "the most vulgarized" essay ever written, with many of its critics simply failing to understand the meaning of the Hegelian capital "H" history to which Fukuyama refers. Indeed, Fukuyama noted, citing an official Cuban meeting on his essay, that the most perceptive critics of his essay when it originally came out were Marxists, who had long drawn from the Hegelian dialectic and its definition of History as something grander and distinct from the progression of day-to-day events. Fukuyama even stated his agreement with Walter Russell Mead's thesis about "The "Return of Geopolitics."
Yet for some of Fukuyama's interlocutors on the two panels, the Hegelian view of "History" with its particular European lineage constituted too limited a view of the existing ideological challenges to liberal democracy. Garfinkle noted that the Hegelian definition, being formed out of European debates on modernization, may miss the ideological challenge from non-western societies and others who seek to avoid modernization. Paul Pillar, a senior fellow at Brookings and former deputy chief of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, prefaced his remarks by saying that while many misunderstand the "History" Fukuyama refers to, not being students of Hegelian philosophy, they could be forgiven for insisting that day-to-day events and competition still matters. Pillar also argued that while it is not often phrased as such, political polarization within Western society over the role of government and the willingness to hold the government's functioning hostage in debt ceiling negotiations is a crisis rooted in ideology. As he put it, something does not need to begin with a capital letter and end with an -ism to be a competing ideology of historical import, and there is some capital H history going on in the United States.
Fukuyama for his part argued the suggested threats to liberal democratic order are exaggerated. Though he did nod to the dangers of a failure of governance in established liberal democracies saying that his future work will focus on that issue, he warned that a foreign policy community rewarded for pessimistic analyses and criticized for optimistic ones influences the perception of threats as Historical when they may not be.

The Hamilton County Election Commission will hold their second emergency meeting in two weeks on Monday to discuss settling a lawsuit filed this week over ballot language for a referendum to allow domestic partner benefits for city employees.
Election Administrator Kerry Steelman confirmed that the meeting would be held at 8 a.m. Monday after discussions between the commission, city of Chattanooga, Coalition for Government Accountability and Transparency, and the lawyer for Chattanooga police Lt. Corliss Cooper, who filed the lawsui.
The original language was written by the petitioner, CGAT, and approved in December.
But the language was sent to the Chattanooga City Attorney's office for review and changed for the ballot printing, which was to begin two weeks ago.
After CGAT attorney Stephen Duggins contacted state election officials, Hamilton County election commissioners held an emergency meeting June 27 and voted to change the wording back to the original language, written by the petitioner.
Cooper is suing the commission over that change in the wording. On Monday, the Chattanooga City Council directed the city attorney to file a similar lawsuit, which was done today.
Ballots for city voters with the referendum question are on hold, awaiting the commission's final approval. The commission has until noon Monday to notify the printer in order for the ballots to be returned in time for the mail out.
