St Teilo's Church - the book
[delwedd: ]
[delwedd: Ailgodi'r eglwys yn yr Amgueddfa]
[delwedd: Corff yr eglwys - tu fewn]
I'm working on a book about the fantastic St Teilo's Church at St Fagans. Been really looking forward to this one, it's a lovely story and there's a wealth of fab images - unlike usually, when I have to scrabble around for some decent stuff. I thought we'd be much further on than we are mind, I really expected to be up to my ears in proofs by now. I sort of know why we're further behind than I'd planned, just can't quite explain. Or I could, but it still probably wouldn't make much sense. Plus, designers work in different ways, and this one likes to take a lot of time 'up front' working on the design concept, then when that's agreed we crack on with the proofreading fairly quickly. I suppose I'm more comfortable with spending the bulk of the time at the proofreading stage, especially with a fairly text-heavy book like this one. Still, we always manage to end up with a book on time. I should be designing the marketing plan by now, but I'm still getting the images together and finishing the copy - things like indexes, the glossary, that kind of thing. And I haven't written any of the image captions yet, which I decided would be quite long, narrative style, so that we don't have to cram absolutely everything into the main copy.
Having to work within a financial year is odd too - not at all the way publishing works. I could get really quite anxious about this if I let myself. I just have to concentrate on how good the book's going to look, and having a high-profile launch, with a popular speaker, where everybody buys a copy of the book, which will get great reviews...
In our favour is the fact that the Church is already incredibly popular and has had a lot of good press. The whole re-erection project at St Fagans has built up a swell of good will, and the Church has its own loyal following - a sort of fan-base! All that's keeping me going at the moment, but I know things are going to get pretty intense over the next couple of months.

Strange hearth feature in Trench 1
Contributed by ABI
Well it's been quite a break since the last blog so here is a round up recent events. People in Trench 1 are excavating features, for instance I excavated a (potential!) post hole yesterday. In Trench 2 there has been found a shoe (i.e. a lot of nails in the shape of a shoe). In Trench 3 the quest to discover the ditch is still going on (as far as I know). But today my mission has been on wet sieving. It is so we can analyse the environmental remains of the previous excavations such as the midden of last year.
It is a very wet and cold job but thankfully the weather has held out today. The tanks are currently being cleaned out by eager volunteers who, I expect, would wish to remain nameless. The work looks very disgusting as it leaves you with gloves of mud! A couple people have been doing bone washing as per normal. Bone washers from now on face the weather like the rest of us as the gazebo broke! They do have a radio though so they can't moan that badly, no matter how bored they may be! There is a fly in this blue cabin with me and it is landing on all the cups, I think I'll bring my own in tomorrow and keep it in my bag!

Laura & Ian finds washing (very seriously)
Contributed by IAN
The clearing of topsoil has again being the order of the day in trench 1 (big trench) and progress has been made with the completion of this first but necessary phase of work in sight. We should be ready to move on in trench 1 by tomorrow morning break. There has also been an increase in the amount of prehistoric pottery being unearthed but is likely to be from the water wash from an earlier site that is located up hill from the current site. In trench 2 (L-Shaped trench) a ½ metre section is being excavated to help show the relationship of the different layers of archaeology to help determine how the rest of the trench should be excavated. Work also began today on clearing the topsoil of trench 3 (small trench) and a roman coin was found in the un-stratified material. Bone washing and wet sieving has again continued with steady progress. The weather has held out until the last half hour.
A short introduction
A team of archaeologists from the National Museum and students from Cardiff University will be investigating an archaeological site at Llanmaes in the Vale of Glamorgan over the next four weeks. Over the past four years excavations have concentrated on a large Prehistoric midden (or rubbish dump) which may have been the focus of ritual feasting activity in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. This year the team are investigating a different part of the site where geophysics has revealed a large enclosure which may be of Prehistoric date. We hope to find out if it was in use at the same time as the midden. Different members of the team (and hopefully some visitors too) will be contributing their thoughts during the excavation.

Bone washing, wet sieving and the clearing of topsoil continued today. The clearing of topsoil is a time consuming but necessary task but will be finished by tomorrow lunch time most probably. Again the majority of finds (pottery and a few coins) are of a Roman date… Rain was predicted but thankfully none came!

Matt, Many & Lisa sieving enviro samples
Contributed by CAROLINE
Trowelling of the topsoil continued today. We are removing the topsoil to reveal the natural geology (clay or limestone bedrock) in order to reveal features cut into the rock such as post holes and pits. Wet sieving is also being carried out on site, this is a very wet and messy job. Wet sieving is of large bags of soil from the midden and features of last year, there is quite a back log to get through- trowellers are too fast for their own good! Wet sieving allows us to find any particularly small finds that were missed during trowelling to be found and also to separate environmental evidence such as carbonised grain which floats to the top and is sent away for analysis. The tens of thousands of bone fragments are also being washed on site, these are also to be analysed by a specialist who will help us to determine what animals were being consumed on site and in what quantity. The bone specialist can also tell us in some instances how the animals were butchered if any cut marks can be seen. We had rain again today but this time we weren't so lucky as it didn't rain during break and so we couldn't hide in the site hut. The same problems were faced as yesterday but digging was affected as the rain was more constant even if a little lighter.
Monday 18th June

Today the Cardiff University archaeology students arrived on site and this was the first full day. The majority of the day was spent clearing up the edges of the trench using spades, shovels and mattocks. A back breaking day was had by all; this is always the most physically hardest day on site. Progress was good and towards the end of the day all three trenches had cleaned straight edges and so the cleaning off of the last remaining topsoil was begun in trenches 1 and 2. Removing the topsoil in Trench 1 revealed the natural limestone bedrock and yellow clay in most areas. Several features were found cutting into this natural geology, including rubble filled ditches and a possible ring gully (these are often associated with Prehistoric roundhouses). However, the finds have mainly been of Roman date, this includes several Roman coins of the late 4th Century. We are still, however, hoping to uncover Prehistoric activity, particularly as this is what geophysics had suggested in some areas. Geophysics involves analysing the ground using equipment which can detect anomalies in the earth's geology. Equipment includes magnetometers which record magnetic susceptibility of the soil (this machine is good at detecting burning activity as the soil becomes more magnetic following heating). The ground is also probed by a machine which measures resitivity. This involves passing an electric current into the ground and detecting the resistance faced. Low resistance features are ditches (they retain water), whereas high resistance features such as stone walls obstruct the electric current.
Anyway, back to the point- geophysics was carried out on the site to help predict what we would find before we dig the site. This helps us decide where to locate the trenches. Geophysics suggested we would find an enclosure ditch surrounding several areas of activity, including burnt areas and various ditches and other anomalous features. We are hoping to find later prehistoric activity that was possibly at some point contemporaneous with the feasting site found in the nearby field on the farm. Previous digs here involved the digging of a midden (a giant Prehistoric rubbish dump) Many amazing artefacts were found including bracelets, cauldron fragments, a chisel, spearhead and tens of thousands of animal bones. Only time will tell if this site is contemporary, but at present Roman finds dominate the evidence.
Today there was torrential rain but luckily this coincided with our lunch hour and so did not affect work too much other than the ground was a lot harder to dig following the down pour with the soil being clayey and trowel edges becoming clogged.

President Obama, speaking Thursday in Rockville, Md., ruled out any negotiations over the debt ceiling. European Pressphoto Agency
President Barack Obama is sticking to his stance that he won't negotiate with Republicans over the government shutdown or the higher-stakes fight over the federal debt ceiling.
The question, for Republicans and White House allies alike: How long will that resolve last?
Mr. Obama spoke Thursday at a construction company just outside Washington and held fast to his view that Republicans must not attach conditions to bills that underpin the functioning of government.
"There is one way out," he said: Republicans must relent and reopen the government.

The White House has insisted it won't negotiate on the debt ceiling, and there is tons of bad blood with the GOP, but it may be forced to do a deal nonetheless. Will there be a breakthrough? Can Democrats stay united? WSJ's Carol E. Lee and Patrick O'Connor explain.
White House officials believe they have the upper hand, citing evidence that some Republicans are buckling under public pressure. Mr. Obama invited the four congressional leaders to the Oval Office Wednesday, and despite the show of engagement made no concessions, according to people familiar with the meeting.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) left the White House and said Mr. Obama "reiterated one more time tonight that he will not negotiate."
Terry Holt, a longtime Republican strategist, said Mr. Obama's strategy rests on a cold-eyed calculation that Republicans are the ones with the most to lose. "As long as the president thinks his poll numbers are going to be good, I don't expect the government to reopen," he said.
Said a senior administration official: "We are winning...It doesn't really matter to us" how long the shutdown lasts "because what matters is the end result."
White House allies, however, say a long shutdown could make the White House's position less tenable. Mr. Obama is the most visible symbol of the U.S. government, they say, and will inevitably share in the blame as hardships mount and people weary of the infighting.
Already, the shutdown has produced images of inconvenience, lost pay, and disruptions in wedding and vacation plans. The Republican National Committee has offered to cover the cost of keeping open the World War II memorial for the next month after a group of veterans toured the site even though it was closed due to the shutdown.
"To the extent that any blame washes onto the Democrats and the president, it's going to be from the sense that this town is just completely dysfunctional and it's everybody's fault," said Matt Bennett, senior vice president of Third Way, a center-left think tank.
Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Mr. Boehner, said: "Ultimately, politics in Washington is a reflection of the president's leadership. People expect their president to be the grown-up in the room, and he's not even in the room."
Mr. Obama said Thursday people should resist the impulse to blame both sides equally.
A new CBS News poll showed 44% blame congressional Republicans for the shutdown; with 35% blaming Mr. Obama and Democratic lawmakers. Every day, White House officials tweet fresh reports of new GOP House members who are breaking with their leadership and calling for the government to reopen.
Another risk for Mr. Obama is that people may not sympathize with his refusal to negotiate over the debt ceiling. The Treasury Department has said that no later than Oct. 17 it will only have $30 billion in cash—a sum that will be exhausted in one or two weeks, according to the Congressional Budget Office. After that point, Treasury is expected to start falling behind on its bills.
Again, Mr. Obama has vowed not to negotiate, saying the consequences of default would be so severe the matter can't be held hostage to political negotiations. "There will be no negotiations over this," he said Thursday.
Hoping to drive home that point, Mr. Obama and his White House team have been sounding alarms, warning there are no guarantees that lawmakers will raise the debt ceiling and avoid default. Mr. Obama has been trying to enlist outside allies with ties to Republicans. He met with top CEOs this week to discuss the shutdown and the need for Congress to lift the debt ceiling, and he plans more outreach with other business leaders and various public officials.
Shaping the White House's hard line are bitter lessons learned from a standoff in 2011 over the debt ceiling, which resulted in a last-minute budget deal. People close to the president said the White House was too flexible in its dealings with Republicans during that episode.
"Looking back on it, we probably did too much accommodating to them," said David Plouffe, a senior White House adviser during the 2011 fight. "The only way this is going to be resolved, both the shutdown and the next round, the debt ceiling, is going to be [Republicans] relenting."

Love Leads Into Mystery: Raising a Child With Asperger's
Page 2
You wonder how it starts, and you wonder where it came from. I was a kid who probably had Asperger's disorder myself. I had no friends in school: In fact, I was the kid other kids built their reputations upon. So I got beaten up constantly.
StoryCorps: The Tough Questions
Video: A 12-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome interviews his mother about the challenges–and joys–of raising him.
I blamed it on growing up in Brooklyn and central Jersey, on being small and a smart-ass, on having parents who slapped me around. But I see now I had the same problem Daniel has: I couldn't read social cues to save my life. I would see a group of kids, want to be part of them, but had no idea what to do, and in fact, what I did do was usually the worst choice.
Negative attention is better than no attention? So I thought.
Where did that come from? Upon hearing what Asperger's disorder is, my stepmother tells me that is absolutely what my father must have. She, his seeing-eye wife into the social world, would know. He has no idea what to say and often says what insults people most. But the more I hear of his childhood, the more I discover someone who grew up friendless and awkward, tormented and ignored. Like his mother behind him. Like her father before her.
I trace the Asperger's line through my family. I stop at Daniel.
Yet I realize how strange it is to call "not reading social cues" a disorder, especially when it's rooted in reading too much from the inside in, instead of the outside in. Yet I collude with the school's category of "other health impaired" so he can get services to help him not turn completely in on himself.
The advice rolls in regularly, the panacea of drug, alternative, and other treatments. We try everything. We visit psychologists, shrinks, neurologists, nurse-practitioners, herbalists, massage therapists, homeopaths, social works, general practitioners, Asperger specialists, occupational therapists. The Ritalin, as well as some other drugs, make him violent and depressed.
"You just have to realize," says a friend of mine whose son suffered from severe learning differences all through his schooling, "that nothing will work. There is no magic pill."
There is no answer. But I can't stop looking. Not when I tuck my kid in at night, and he says, "I'm just a bad person."
"No, you're not. You're a good person."
"That's not true. Something is wrong with me."
But it's not your fault, I want to scream into his bones. You did nothing to deserve this.
Both the center of my heart and the edge of my universe contain Daniel. He is the one, more than anyone or anything else in my life, who challenges me to improvise, to forget how it should be, to drop my expectations and ideas about what life is, what a child is, what a parent is.
I make many mistakes with him, moments I wish I could do over. I also do many things right, hold him in the middle of the day on the couch mid-winter for no reason, listen to him carefully.
"Mom, I have to make my own mistakes," he says wisely, like any child would. But it's very hard to watch a kid whose days are spent being shunned by peers, analyzed or dismissed or hoped upon by teachers, medicalized by health professionals, isolated by his own choices and the constant reinforcement of others who chose to isolate him. To watch your kid.
Daniel teaches me that all rules are arbitrary, answers are illusory, future visions are incomplete. He teaches me about the psychic wounds I carry into my parenting, and my only choice is to heal myself. He teaches me to be more patient, more accepting, more tolerant not just of him but of other kids. I see a nine-year-old hyper boy out in public these days, and I don't get irritated with him; instead, I feel empathy and wonder how his parents are doing.
Mostly, Daniel teaches me that love is never arbitrary.
That love leads us into mystery where no one can say what comes next, or how, or why.
To my shock, everyone comes to his ninth birthday party, except one boy whose mother doesn't want him to associate with Daniel. We meet in a pizzeria where Daniel opens presents in a haze of joy. Some of the girls argue over who gets to sit next to him. One kisses his cheek every time he opens another gift.
In the future, there will be Daniel wanting to make pickets to go and storm the new chain bookstore that drove our locally owned one out of business. Daniel determined to teach a boy who torments him that "it's not right" and not just. Daniel lecturing the other kids until they lecture us about the evils of McDonald's and the loss of rainforest lands for grazing cattle.
And Daniel at Yom Kippur services with me, hitting his heart as he sings the prayers, determined and utterly earnest in his determination to ask forgiveness, to start again.
Now he is at college, a small nest-like college in a small Mennonite Kansas town. Immersed in a community where everyone knows everyone, social activities tend to be all-inclusive, and being a little different and a lot Jewish is seen as exotic, he's thriving. He has friends, he's pursuing his passion for prairie restoration and ecological activism, and he's found a mild form of a Ritalin-like substance, which helps him study more steadily. Somehow he's grown into and through his various diagnoses. A success story, his old special education teachers, autism specialists and paraprofessionals tell me whenever we see each other at the coffee shop.
Still, I worry, surely more than I would have had he not tunneled through rock and steel throughout his childhood. At the same time, I hope what's different about him in the best sense doesn't get sanded off by the life ahead. Yet the life behind us shows me that Daniel has gotten through so far with his Daniel-ness fully intact.
Metaphors are ways to contain the uncontainable. Symbols to hold what cannot be held, like fear or hope contained in darkness and dragonflies. Illusions, but what other way can we get close to the center of what's real?
It's like the myriad of names for God in Judaism—all ways to circle around what cannot be touched.
I remember Daniel at age nine: he sits at the kitchen table, and over his pasta, tells us he's convinced the universe does actually end at some point, that space curves into this ending. So there is an end, but he doesn't know what's there. He just knows all things curve into the future, into endings and infinity at once. And he can hold both the endings and the infinity in his head at once.
Like dragonflies in the inky blackness. Like Daniel in this world.

Chrysler planning Dodge Avenger successor after all?
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jan 24th, 2012 at 6:29PM
Don't cry for the Dodge Avenger just yet. According to USA Today, Chrysler is set to introduce new midsized sedans to replace both the Chrysler 200 and the much-maligned Dodge Avenger. The vehicles will be built on a version of the same platform that underpins the 2013 Dodge Dart. That news runs contrary to word that the Avenger is headed to the great scrap pile in the sky after the current generation runs its course. Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is looking to shore up the company's small car efforts and spread the cost of platform development across as many models as... Read More

It's the biggest New Year's Eve party in the world. More than a million people filled Times Square to ring in 2013. YNN's Stefanie Simon was in the crowd.
NEW YORK CITY -- You never need an invitation to the biggest and best known New Year's Eve party on the planet - but you do have to arrive early for a good spot. About a million revelers come from far and wide for this bucket list event.
The theme this year was 'Let There be Peace.' And in what has become a traditional sing-along, Train performed John Lennon's 'Imagine.'
But let's faces it. The real stars are these folks on the street, braving the cold and keeping up the excitement and enthusiasm for hours!
And finally, there was the countdown. The Rockettes kicked it off with Mayor Bloomberg.
After the countdown, the confetti and maybe even a kiss, it's time for a favorite New Year's Eve greeting, "Hey, I haven't see you since last year! Happy 2013!"

Your location: Home > Methods > REDD
According to the FAO (2005), deforestation, mainly conversion of forests to agricultural land,
continues at an alarming rate of approximately 13 million hectares per year (for the period
1990–2005). Deforestation results in immediate release of the carbon originally stored in
the trees as CO2 emissions (with small amounts of CO and CH4), particularly if
the trees are burned and the slower release of emissions from the decay of organic matter. The
IPCC WGIII (2007) estimated emissions from deforestation in the 1990s to be at
5.8 GtCO2/yr. The IPCC also notes that reducing and/or preventing deforestation
is the mitigation option with the largest and most immediate carbon stock impact in the short term
per hectare and per year globally as the release of carbon as emissions into the atmosphere is
The agenda item on "Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries and
approaches to stimulate action" was first introduced into the COP agenda at its eleventh
session in Montreal (December 2005). The governments of Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica,
supported by 8 other Parties, through their submission FCCC/CP/2005/MISC.1,
requested for this issue to be taken up on the agenda. This proposal received wide support from
Parties and there was general agreement on the importance of the issue in the context of climate
change mitigation, particularly in light of the large contribution of emissions from deforestation in
developing countries to global greenhouse gas emissions. The COP established a contact group on
this item which drafted conclusions on initiating a process to address the issue of reducing
emissions from deforestation.
The COP has adopted a number of decisions
on REDD-plus, most recently at its 19th session the "Warsaw Framework for REDD-plus" (WFR).
its twenty-fourth session in May 2006 the SBSTA has continued
its consideration of the methodological guidance for activities relating to reducing emissions from
deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests
and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries.
More information on the
SBSTA agenda item.
The Conference of the Parties (COP), at its eighteenth session, decided to undertake a work programme
on results-based finance in 2013 to progress the full implementation of the activities referred to in
1/CP.16, paragraph 70.
COP 19 concluded the work programme and adopted decision
9/CP.19, entitled "Work programme on results-based finance to progress the full
implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70".
More information on the COP work
Inter-session event
The COP, in its decision 9/CP.19, requested the secretariat to organize an expert meeting on the
matters relating to the information hub on the results of the activities referred to in decision
1/CP.16, paragraph 70, and corresponding results-based payments before SBI 41 (December 2014).
The 2-day expert meeting was held on 2-3 September 2014, in Bonn, Germany.

The COP has invited Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders to support ongoing efforts,
capacity building, demonstration activities and mobilization of resources relating to reducing
emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries and to share the outcomes
of these efforts with the SBSTA by providing corresponding information to the secretariat. In
2/CP.13 the COP also requested the secretariat to develop a web platform where this

2014 Audi RS 7 QuattroStarting at: $104,900.00stars
Startlingly fast, quite comfortable, and extremely high-tech, cars don't come much more...
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 is one of the sleekest car designs on the road. You might mistake it for a big drop of liquid mercury flowing down the highway. Mercedes-Benz did an excellent job maintaining a low, nicely curved roof and molding the rear fenders into its sides. If you don't want people stopping to admire your car, the CLS550 is not for you.
As an update of one of Mercedes-Benz's big sedans, the CLS550 sports a new engine making its way down the lineup of all Mercedes-Benz 550-designated cars, a direct-injection V-8 with twin turbos. This engine, and a new seven-speed automatic, combine for surprisingly good fuel economy. The car also comes standard with an air suspension, giving it one of the most comfortable rides around.
Mercedes-Benz has done a lot of work on driver assistance electronics, and the CLS550 serves as a showcase for these innovative technologies. The cabin tech suite features very good navigation and stereo, but in this area the company doesn't push the envelope. Mercedes-Benz shies away from the kind of application integration currently coming into vogue.
Luxury ride, sound
Two things make the CLS550 a luxury ride par excellence: its air suspension and the Harman Kardon 14-speaker surround-sound system. Although it's over $70 grand, you won't find a car at this price with a better ride. Bumps and rough asphalt are beneath the notice of the CLS550. If the princess who famously felt a pea underneath 20 mattresses were to ride in the CLS550, she would drift off into a deep sleep.
Add to that extremely comfortable ride the beautifully detailed music produced by the Harman Kardon audio system. From its speakers, you can easily hear every percussive snap and guitar string strum. Horns and vocals come through with incredibly rich quality. High notes from this system can get too shrill, and sustained trumpet notes can become painful. Bass, however, is very well-controlled.
The stereo allows about every audio source you could want. Mercedes-Benz adds Bluetooth audio streaming to its roster, which also includes iPod integration, the car's own hard drive, and HD Radio. There is even a PC card slot, an odd little anachronism. But Mercedes-Benz has not jumped on the app bandwagon yet, so there is no Pandora or Internet radio integration.
At this level of luxury, heated and cooled power seats with memory settings are, of course, standard. And available for the driver is a massage seat with active bolstering. This massage function uses air pockets in the seat, which are not as effective as rollers, but still quite decadent.
Further enhancing the driving experience is a nice set of assistance features. Mercedes-Benz for some time has offered adaptive cruise control, which adjusts the car's speed to match that of traffic ahead. This system works very well, letting you drive for many miles in light to moderate traffic without touching the gas or brake pedals. We have even seen it bring the car to a complete stop as traffic ahead stopped.
A blind-spot detection feature lights up a red triangle in the side mirrors, to warn of cars to the sides of the CLS550. That triangle flashes and a warning tone sounds if you activate the turn signal. In the CLS550 Mercedes-Benz also offers its night vision feature, which turns the instrument cluster into a longer view of the road ahead than you can see unaided.
And new for the CLS550 is a lane departure warning and drift prevention system. This system tracks the lane lines, showing an icon in the instrument cluster when it is active. If you drift over a lane line without signaling or actively steering, it vibrates the wheel and sounds a warning tone. Continue to drift and it slightly brakes the offside wheels, causing the car to arrest the drift. When it activates, it feels as if the car is quickly rotating back into the lane, with enough movement to wake up dozing drivers.

Michael Collins has been writing for ESPN.com since yesterday. He started out as a stand-up comedian and fell into PGA Tour golf and caddying completely by accident in 1998.
He started looping for fun in 1999 but by 2003 had decided to make it a full-time gig. He won the Nationwide Tour Championship with Chris Couch in 2003 and was on the bag for Kevin Streelman when they captured the inaugural Kodak Challenge in 2009.
Michael has never won an award for his writing, probably because he failed high school English and still types with his index fingers. But he's smart, funny and, most importantly, knows the game/players/caddies and what they go through on a week-to-week basis and brings a caddie perspective that's different than anything you've ever seen when it comes to golf coverage.
Farrell Evans grew up in Forsyth, Georgia, 60 miles south of Atlanta, where he learned the game at the Forsyth Golf Club, an 18-hole public course. After high school, he played on the golf team at Florida A&M University and interned with the PGA Tour at the TPC at Sawgrass.
Before joining ESPN.com in August 2011, he was a golf writer for nine years at Sports Illustrated. He currently lives in Harlem and can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bob Harig is a golf writer for ESPN.com and has been covering the game for more than 20 years, first at the St. Petersburg Times and for the last four years at ESPN.com. He began contributing to ESPN.com in 1997.
Harig is a native of Barrington, Illinois, where he got his first exposure to golf as a caddie at Inverness Golf Club, where he earned an Evans Scholarship to attend Indiana University. He graduated with degrees in journalism and history.
Harig lives in Florida and can be reached at email@example.com
Kevin Maguire is the senior golf editor for ESPN.com and covered his first PGA Tour event in 1994 while at American University in Washington, D.C. He played collegiately for the Eagles and graduated with a degree in print journalism.
Maguire grew up in the Philadelphia area and now resides outside of Hartford, Connecticut. He has been with ESPN since February 2007 and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Zenporium : Providing Furniture's Future By Reclaiming The Past
"You never really need to sacrifice beauty or quality at the expense of sustainability."
Can it really be so simple? Can sustainability really come without overlooking the style and beauty we all crave? If you ask Serene Gebara and Omar Kamal – absolutely. Kamal, who works in insurance, and Gebara, a former human resources manager for a furniture company, were first inspired to open their own furniture store while honeymooning in South East Asia. As they roamed the beautiful country looking for adventure and artifacts to return home with, the couple happened upon the exotic woodworkings of local East Pacific artisans. Once employed as fisherman, the native people of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia had to find another way to feed their families after the fishing industry became heavily automated. They succeeded by crafting beautiful furniture from reclaimed fishing boats, discarded rail wood, teak tree roots and other reclaimed sources.
Gebara and Kamal fell in love with what they had discovered. The newlyweds began working with the skilled tradesmen and women to design and supply unique furniture décor to the world's ever-evolving green lifestyle while providing fair wages and great working environments for the indigenous people they had met. What Gebara and Kamal did was created Zenporium.
Introduced by one of the Toronto-based interior designers on the RRGH team, RRGH owner Beverley Maloney-Fischback knew Zenporium had the perfect blend of eco design, sustainability and consciousness she was looking for in a decor company for the home.
"Zenporium has all the elements we embrace and respect and some of the most beautiful, unique, hand-crafted artisan pieces we've seen in a long time," raved Maloney-Fischback.
Zenporium has become known for their distinctive tables, chairs and desks fashioned from retired fishing boats, all of which would have wound up in garbage heaps or discarded along the beaches of South East Asia. Alternatively, these used vessels have been restored through a virtually chemical-free kiln drying process lasting 4 to 6 weeks which cleans the wood and saves the beautifully aged blues, yellows and reds. These boats are artfully transformed into one-of-a-kind dining tables, shelving units, coffee tables and wall décor that can add a "wow" factor to any home. That "wow" factor comes, not only from the look, but the history of each piece.
"The wood itself is beautiful, it's rustic, the colors are vibrant but there's also another level to this which is that depth of history," Kamal said in a phone interview. "When you look at a piece that was built from this boat wood, it gets you thinking about the people who must have used that boat. The many mornings they set out fishing, making a living for their families. There's quite a bit of history behind it."
For as young as Zenporium is, Gebara and Kamal certainly know their history. Along with the company's boat and rail wood furniture, they also provide a wide range of teak tree furniture – all reclaimed from the teak tree industry. For centuries, the teak tree has been harvested for the multiple uses of mankind. From housing for the early natives of the South Pacific to naval ship construction of the British in the 1800s, teak tree wood has proven to be one of the most durable, enduring woods over time. And that's not even the best part. It's been well documented that once the British naval ships were of no more use, parts of the vessels were repurposed into benches and other furniture and placed in parks around England, some of which are still there today.
Much like those savvy British sailors, Zenporium rescues discarded teak tree roots from certain doom and repurposes them into remarkable tables, vases and artwork. The Gentong Teak Vase is an example of raw teak roots constructed into functional artistry. These vases are carefully hand-chiseled into shape and rounded preserving the natural, sheen look without losing any of the root's characteristics. Along with the teak vases, the RRGH sports the Dulo Wall Décor, a hybrid between the Zenporium's specialties. The Dulo showcases a collage of salvaged teak wood bordered by a frame made from boat wood. It's an attractive mash up of Zenporium's various styles. To compliment the Dulo, the RRGH also exhibits a symbolic zen artifact called the Budi Wheel, Artek Tula Wall Hanging and a Gembol Bowl – all made from teak wood. All of these pieces come together to crate a sophisticated look with a rustic sensibility.
Zenporium has begun what looks to be a long and rewarding future in the home décor industry by furnishing style and beauty while promoting sustainability and preservation. Elements which homeowners, not just in Rocky River can support, but homeowners around the world can stand behind.

Ridley builds 80 special design Helium SL with Campa's 80th Anniversary
Last week Campagnolo celebrated its 80th Anniversary, an occasion for which they launched a special, limited run 80th Anniversary groupset. Such a unique groupset deserves a bike which not only matches its technological qualities, but also its outstanding design. We have therefore created a Helium SL that truly lifts the 80th Anniversary Collection to a higher level. Of this exclusive bike a maximum of 80 will be built.
Our Helium SL is the bike used by the WorldTour riders of Lotto-Belisol. It is renowned for its excellent stiffness to weight ratio. Because of this and because of its classy, elegant look it's the ideal bike to mount the Campagnolo 80th Anniversary Collection on. Our design team came up with a stealthy paintjob for the frameset with just the right amount of red accents to complement the design of the groupset.
Ridley is going to build a maximum of 80 Helium SL's in this configuration. Whoever wants one, will have to decide quickly and contact his Ridley dealer as soon as possible to pre-order his Helium SL Campagnolo 80th Anniversary Collection.
The advisory retail price for the bike is 8.999 euro.

Brian Cooley drills down on the new metric for rating MPG in cars like the BMW i8, Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt.
Chevy previewed the 2015 Corvette Z06 Convertible today ahead of its unveiling during the New York auto show next week, its most powerful open-top to date.
Chevy keeps the large SUV relevant with an all-new Suburban, we explore the reasons for road rage, and demystifying the octane you pay so dearly for.
The Chevy Suburban has been around since 1933 and it's synonymous with "large SUV." The 2015 model is synonymous with technology as well. Brian Cooley takes it for a drive and checks the tech.
The new Chevy Suburban's big, boxy body rides on a traditional frame and holds three seating rows plus cargo area.

Two Washington heavyweights offer a new plan to reduce America's debt. The report by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles comes as mandatory spending cuts loom over Congress. YNN's Michael Scotto has more.
President Obama didn't mince words Tuesday morning, looking to place the blame for the deadlock squarely on Republicans.
Surrounded by first responders, the President said a series of automatic spending cuts, known as the sequester, would result in layoffs that would lead to diminished public safety and government services.
The President once again said the sequester can be avoided if Republicans agree to a plan that includes raising taxes on the wealthy
"Republicans face a simple choice. Are they willing to compromise, to protect vital investments in education and public safety and all the jobs that depend on them or would they rather put our economy and hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk just to protect a few of the wealthiest Americans and corporations," said President Obama.
And that really is the sticking point. Republicans, at this point, refuse to reduce the deficit by closing loopholes on the wealthy, unless tax rates are also reduced.
In a statement, House Speaker John Boehner said:
"Once again, the President offered no credible plan that can pass Congress - only more calls for higher taxes. Just last month, the President got his higher taxes on the wealthy, and he's already back for more."
Earlier Tuesday, the bipartisan deficit cutting duo of Simpson and Bowles hoped to jumpstart negotiations by coming out with a new plan that would reduce the deficit by $2.4 trillion over ten years, through a mix of spending cuts and tax increases.
They said that even if the sequester takes effect in 10 days, it might not last long once the public starts feeling the impact.
"When you guys have to go out here to Reagan Airport and wait in line three hours to get through security, you're gonna be pissed and so is everybody else. And you could use lots of different stories just like that. And when that happens, they're gonna come back to Congress and say, 'We're sick of this intransigence,'" said Erskine Bowles, former Clinton White House Chief of Staff.
The sequester is scheduled to take effect a week from Friday, and with Congress out on recess this entire week, it's looking more and more likely that those automatic spending cuts will take effect.

UPDATE: Friday - 3/1/2013, 4:25 pm ET
Police are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in the fatal hit-and-run.
Tipsters can call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-8477.
EARLIER: Thursday - 2/28/2013, 4:02pm ET
WASHINGTON - Montgomery County police have released a description of the suspect vehicle in connection with Tuesday's fatal hit and run collision.
Police are looking for a late-90s to early-2000s Toyota Corolla of unknown color.
The collision occurred Tuesday between 7 and 8:30 p.m.
EARLIER: Thursday - 2/28/2013, 11:09am ET
WASHINGTON - Family and friends are grieving after a hit-and-run Tuesday night left a woman dead and police looking for witnesses.
Marlyn Eres Ali, 53, was crossing Connecticut Avenue at Everton street in the Wheaton-Glenmont area between 7 and 8 p.m. Tuesday when she was hit by a vehicle that left the scene.
Around 8:15 p.m., Montgomery County police and fire and rescue personnel found Ali by a grassy area between the curb and a service road near Wheaton High School.
Ali was taken to Suburban Hospital where she later died from her injuries. She lived a few blocks away from where she was initially found.
Also near where Ali was found is the L8 Metrobus stop. She routinely rode the bus to get home from D.C. around 7 p.m.
Police are looking for a Toyota Corolla from the late 1990s or early 2000s in connection with the hit-and-run. The color of the car is not known, but police say they believe it may have front-end damage.
Family and friends held a candlelight vigil for Ali Wednesday night along Connecticut Avenue near Everton Street to remember her and ask for anyone with information to come forward.
"They just need to surrender, because we're you know, just hanging right now. We need some justice," says Lial Lynn, Ali's niece.
"She's very generous, she would help anybody, supporting friends and family in the Philippines, and she worked very hard."
Ali worked as a nanny for Jessica Daly for almost three years. Daly says she'd become a member of the family.
"My little baby's just learning to walk, and she was so proud of her. She took a lot of pride in raising our children," said Daly.
"I remember that she was starting to fall on the floor, and Marlyn caught her and waved at me when I was leaving, and that's my last memory of her."
The incident is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call 240-773-6620, especially those who ride the L8 Metrobus and may have seen something around the time of the accident.
To the person who hit Ali, Montgomery County Police Capt. Thomas Didone is asking that he or she contact police.
"I promise you'll be treated very fairly. Don't make a bad decision turn into a lifelong nightmare. Miss Ali and her family deserve some closure."
See the police flier on the collision below.

8/19 in Yankee History
2001: The Mariners rout the Yankees 10-2' as outfielder Mike Cameron gets 4 hits – including 2 homers – -and drives home 8 runs. Ichiro stretches his hitting streak to 16 games' giving him 3 streaks of 15 or more games this year. He's the first Major Leaguer with three 15-game streaks in the same season since Milwaukee's Cecil Cooper in 1980.
2000: The Yankees beat the Angels 9-1' with Jorge Posada, Scott Brosius and Clay Bellinger hitting an MLB record-tying 3 sacrifice flies in the 3rd inning. Andy Pettitte goes the distance to garner the win.
1990: Kevin Maas' magical run continues, as he becomes the fastest rookie in MLB history to hit 14 home runs (in 128 at bats) in a 3-1 win over the Mariners at the Stadium. Tim Leary gets the win, Matt Young the loss, and Dave Righetti cashes in the save.
1980: In New York's 3-1 win at Seattle' Bob Watson is 3-for-3 including a homer and a double' the latter off the left center field PA speaker at the Dome in the 2nd inning. It's is retrieved by third baseman Bill Stein.
1977: Backed by homers from Reggie Jackson and Bucky Dent, Mike Torrez hurls his 6th complete game in a row as New York beat Texas 8-1. The Yanks are now 2 1/2 games in back of Boston.
1962: Gino Cimoli, Wayne Causey and Billy Bryan of the A's hit consecutive homers in the 7th inning' but that hardly compares to the Yankee fusillade – Elston Howard has 2 home runs and 8 RBI; Bill Skowron a homer and 4 RBIs; and Mickey Mantle a grand slam and 7 RBIs' as the Yankees rout the A's' 21-7. The Mick adds 2 stolen bases before Jack Reed takes over in center field.
1945: The Yankees win the first of a pair with the White Sox 4-2 to break their 9-game losing streak' the longest the team has suffered since Joe McCarthy took over in 1931. Chicago take the nitecap' 2-0' as Lefty Grove scatters 5 hits amongst the New Yorkers' 3 by Bud Metheny (below).
1941: In the second of two at Detroit' Joe DiMaggio jams his spikes sliding into second on a double and severely twists his ankle. He
will be out for a month. The Yanks win 8-3 after losing the opener' 12-2 to Hal Newhouser.
1936:In Washington' Joe DiMaggio breaks a 2-2 tie with a two-out homer in the 5th off Jimmy DeShong and the first-place Yankees roll on to a 7-4 win. Red Ruffing (below) pitches a complete game' while DiMag and Bill Dickey collect three hits apiece. John Stone has a homer for the Nats.
1935: Bobby Richardson is born. Happy 77th to one of the great Yankee second basemen!
1920: Despite Babe Ruth's 43rd home run of the year' the Indians' Slim Caldwell allows just 4 other hits to top the Yanks' 3-2. The Tribe answer with homers by Elmer Smith and two hits from new shortstop Harry Lunte. The Indian players leave immediately for Cleveland and Ray Chapman's funeral with a half-game lead over Chicago and 1 1/2 over the Yankees'. It will be the tightest race since 1908.
1910: Atley Donald, standout pitcher for the Yankees in the late '30s and early '40s, is born.
1908: Jack Chesbro allows 11 hits' but still blanks the Tigers 7-0.

Hi there
I have read a few threads related to which CELTA course to take in London but none that seems to have helped me. I live in London and I'm looking at applying for a full time CELTA course this month but could really do with recommendations on which to apply based on people's experiences. So far I've whittled the courses down to:
- Language Link (which has some negative press on here)
- London South Morton
- London Queensway
- London Earls Court
- International House
I can't find any independent reviews, details on pass rates, rankings, future job opportunities in London (where I want to stay) based on chosen college anywhere, and also why Cactus does not recommend International House on their website which is surely highly regarded?!
Any help would be highly appreciated - thank you!
By the way - I'm English native with no previous teaching experience.
