A review of Andrew Bujalski's "Results."
To really understand "Lone Wolf McQuade," you have to go back almost 20 years, to those original spaghetti Westerns that made Clint Eastwood a star. They weren't great movies, and some critics attacked them for trashing the classic forms of the Western. But they had presence, style and energy, and at the center of them they had a perfectly realized hero in Clint Eastwood.
He was called The Man With No Name. He dealt violence with implacable fury. He stood at the middle of the maelstrom and remained untouched. And, in his own way, he was powerfully charismatic. Eastwood and Sergio Leone, his director, created a new kind of Western, pared down to its bare essentials of men and guns, horses and deserts, sweat and flies and rotgut.
Now comes Chuck Norris. He's been around for several years, in a series of karate and kung fu movies that were almost always better than average -- but not a lot better than average. (The best of them was "Eye for an Eye," directed by Steve Carver, who also directed "McQuade.") The most you could say for a Chuck Norris film was that it did not have downright contempt for its action audiences; it tried to be better than the interchangeable chop-socky movies from Hong Kong, and Norris made an energetic, likable star.
What Norris was really looking for in all those pictures, I guess, was the right character. Like Eastwood's Man With No Name, he needed a personality that would fit, that would contain his kung fu skills and allow him ways of expression not limited to flying fists and deadly elbows. That's what he's found in "Lone Wolf McQuade." This is an action movie. It makes no apology for that. But it's high-style action.
Norris plays J. J. McQuade, a renegade modern-day Texas Ranger who works alone, likes to work with machine-guns, deals out justice on the spot, and hardly ever says much of anything. The movie surrounds him with a gallery of interesting characters, played by colorful stars: David Carradine is Rawley, the evil local criminal and karate master; Barbara Carrera is lovely, as usual, as Carradine's wife and Norris's mistress; Robert Beltran plays Kayo Ramas, Norris's Mexican American sidekick; Leon Isaac Kennedy is the federal officer; grizzled L. Q. Jones lopes through a few scenes, and Sharon Farrell is counterpoint as Norris's former wife.
All of these people are thrown together into a plot that is, of course, essentially meaningless. But the movie respects the plot, and keeps it moving, and a lot of excitement is generated. If the movie does well at the box office (and if word-of-mouth works, it will), it could be the beginning of a series for Norris.
Series characters always have one archetypal scene. With Eastwood, it was the time he killed three men with one bullet. Lone Wolf McQuade has a classic. He's shot. They think he's dead. They bury him in his supercharged, customized pickup truck. He comes to. Pours a beer over his head. Floors the accelerator, and drives that mother right out of the grave. You get the idea.

The US and China are sending more resources to the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, which is now confirmed to have been lost in the Indian Ocean west of Perth.
The Pentagon says an undersea US Navy drone and a pinger locator, which can be used to track down Flight MH370's black box flight recorder, are on the way.
They are due to arrive in Perth later on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The sonar-equipped Bluefin ''autonomous underwater vehicle'' can scan the ocean's depths for any sunken wreckage.
The towed pinger locator will likely be deployed to search for the missing plane's black box recorder, which is estimated to have around 12 days of battery life left.
China is sending more vessels to join its warships and specially-equipped planes already in Western Australia to search for and potentially salvage wreckage.
China's state news agency Xinhua reports the country's maritime search and rescue centre is ''working on solutions'', with a promise to beef up search efforts.
In the US, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said the underwater vehicle and towed pinger locator had left JFK Airport in New York.
''There will be a small number of people going along with them,'' he said.
''I think there are two on the flight with the gear itself, and then another eight folks will be flying separately to Perth to prepare the equipment.''
Malaysia has taken control of the investigation under the Chicago Convention on international civil aviation.
Australia's HMAS Success left the search area today because of rough seas.
Waves up to two metres high with an associated swell of up to four metres were forecast, with strong gale force winds up to 80kmh, periods of heavy rain and low cloud with a ceiling between 200 and 500 feet, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
The conditions would make air and sea search activities hazardous. Conditions were expected to improve in the evening and over the next few days. The search was due to resume tomorrow.
Australian naval ship Success had left the search area early this morning and was headed south to wait until seas abated. Success was unable to find objects spotted in the search area by an Australian air force Orion.
Families were told this morning that flight MH370, which vanished on March 8 with 239 people onboard, "ended" in the middle of the Indian Ocean west of Perth "far from any possible landing sites".
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the information came from new Immarsat satellite analysis.
Najib said "pings" sent out by the plane had been pieced together to shed more light on its flight path.
According to this data, provided to UK officials by London-based satellite company Inmarsat, the plane flew for more than seven hours after it had turned back from its scheduled flight path over the South China Sea.
In a separate statement, Malaysia Airlines said its "prayers go out to all the loved ones... at this enormously painful time".
"We know there are no words that we or anyone else can say which can ease your pain," the statement said.
The airline said it hoped the continued search would provide more answers.
New Zealand would continue its part in the southern Indian Ocean search, Prime Minister John Key said this morning.
The Inmarsat analysis will allow the massive search area in the Indian Ocean, which can be as deep as 7000 metres, to be narrowed.
Searchers will now be able to calculate how far the plane could have flown with the fuel it had on board.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told his country's parliament overnight that a RAAF P-3 Orion aircraft had located two new objects at about 2.45pm local time on Monday.
Abbott said the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) had advised him the Orion crew had seen a grey or green circular object as well as an orange rectangular object, both of which were separate to the objects spotted by a Chinese aircraft, in the Indian Ocean.
Abbott said he did not know if the objects were from the flight.
The objects reported by the Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 to AMSA earlier yesterday were seen floating in the southern Indian Ocean as the crew returned to Perth from the search area, according to official news agency Xinhua.
However, a US Poseidon was unable to find them again.
China and France released further satellite imagery over the weekend showing objects in the same region which could be linked to the missing flight.

The Civilian and National Service Authority staged an event on Tuesday in Jerusalem to honor over 600 haredi volunteers at national service programs, attended by Interior Minister Eli Yishai, former chief rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau and other public figures.There are currently 3,885 haredim who have finished or are currently serving in civilian service programs, in the fields of welfare, public security, public health, immigration absorption and environmental protection, according to the Civilian and National Service Authority. Approximately 75 percent of recruits serve in the welfare field.The Tal Law, which provided a legal framework for haredi men to indefinitely defer military service through full-time yeshiva study, also allowed them to enlist on a voluntary basis in one or two-year civilian service programs, and fulfill their national service requirements in this manner.A one-year course entails 40 hours of service per week, whereas the two year course is 20 hours a week.Tuesday's recognition ceremony comes as a replacement for the Tal Law – struck down by the High Court of Justice earlier this year as unconstitutional – is being debated in a special committee in the Knesset.Yishai, who has argued against replacing the Tal Law with legislation that would forcibly draft haredi men into national service programs, reiterated his stance at the ceremony, saying that anyone who wishes to study Torah must be allowed to do so.The Keshev Committee, tasked with proposing alternatives to the Tal Law, is seeking a way to "undermine Torah study," Yishai claimed. He added that the only way to increase haredi participation in military or civilian service was is increase the budget for it, and said that up until now the IDF has not wanted to draft haredim anyway, fearing that large numbers of ultra-Orthodox men entering the army would change its character.Addressing the ranks of haredi volunteers, Civilian and National Service Authority head Sar-Shalom Jerbi also spoke out strongly against any forcible draft of haredim into national service."Integrating haredim into national service needs to be done through understanding, not coercion," said Jerbi.Haim, a 28-year-old from Bnei Brak who attended the ceremony, said he had volunteered for civilian service in order to both contribute to society and enter the workforce.He signed up for a two-year course of working in care for the elderly, four hours a day. He is also studying civil engineering part time and spends an hour a day learning in yeshiva."It's important to give back to society and do something for the country," said Haim, adding that many of his friends had joined up at the same time as he did.A number of other dignitaries spoke during the event, including Science and Technology Minister Daniel Herschkowitz and Rabbi Yitzhak Dovid Grossman, a member of the Council of the Chief Rabbinate and founder of the Migdal Ohr network of educational institutions.Speaking about this week's Torah portion, Grossman told the volunteers that the spies sent out by Moses to report on the land of Israel erred because they did not want to descend into the material world, which would be necessary once the entered the country.But, he said, the point of existence is to enter into the physical and turn it into something spiritual."All of you, through your service, have served as an example and have sanctified God's name in so doing. You have brought the Jewish people closer to their heritage and have brought spirituality into the physical realm," said Grossman.

The Greatest Gift My Grandfather Gave To Me
When I was a child I became convinced that I was adopted. Saying that I was the black sheep of our family would be an understatement. Honestly I was more like the golden-magenta imaginary sheep of the family. My older sister was a gorgeous, very popular cheerleader. My little brother was friends with everyone and could talk to anyone. What about me? Well. I was shy. The woods and imaginary world of books were my friends. I had pink glasses, metal braces and unfortunate hair. Obviously I was adopted. One day I arrived home from school to find my grandfather waiting for me. He had heard … [Read more...]
Simple Romantic Rose Tote Bag
Lately the Easy Heart Tote Bag is going crazy on Pinterest, which is great! But I have a confession to make. It's not my favorite tote bag. Yes, I love it and my kids use it for their books but I'm a romantic, flowery type person. I told Mr. Byrd a long time ago that he doesn't need to give me jewelry, just bring me flowers occasionally. Then I got more practical and sleep deprived and told him to stop bringing flowers and bring home Starbucks instead. But I already have enough coffee stained tote bags, shirts, and pants to remind me of coffee. So it's easy to see … [Read more...]
Easy Pistachio Shell Flowers
You're going to go nuts over these flowers. I should have been a comedian right? But honestly have you ever thought of making flowers using pistachio shells? It's a great way to reuse pistachio shells and an easy craft to make with something that you would probably just throw away. To make these sweet little guys you simple need cardboard circles in the sizes that you want to make your flowers. My circles were about an inch and a half for a medium size flower. If you want a large flower try a 2" circle. To keep this project earth friendly, I just cut up a cereal box from the … [Read more...]

There's a saying that I have found to be largely true, "When it rains, it pours". This week it has literally poured, for days. It has rain nonstop and when it wasn't raining, it was freezing.

It's poured in the appliance dying category of our home. When we moved in the previous owners had left us a dingy old vacuum that turned out to be a powerhouse! I loved that thing. … [Read more...]

Over 550 Polisario mercenaries arrested by Libyan rebels
National Transitional Council transfers captured Polisario mercenaries to Benghazi, pending their trial.
Middle East Online
Polisario mercenaries paid the price of greed
LONDON - Over 550 Polisario mercenaries fighting for Libyan leader's regime have been captured by the rebels, reported the online magazine geotribune.com.
Thousands of Libyan leader's loyalist troops were arrested, including hundreds of African mercenaries and 556 mercenaries of the Polisario Front movement, which has been fighting for the independence of Western Sahara from Morocco, according to an official from the National Transitional Council (NTC).
The NTC has given strict orders to its fighters to treat prisoners of war lawfully. Mustafa Abdel Jalil, a former justice minister who chairs the NTC, called upon revolutionaries to respect the law and to let justice take its course, warning that he could quit as head of the rebel NTC if he loses control of the revolution.
Many Polisario mercenaries were arrested in the city of Zawiyah and Bab Al Aziziyah in Tripoli. They were transferred to Benghazi, pending their trial as rebels carry on their search for the remaining Polisario mercenaries located in Libya. The NTC's decision after rebel targeted on August 22 the Algerian Embassy in Tripoli.
Rebels claimed to have found documents specifically incriminating for Algiers, revealing a massive support to the Libyan leader.
The NTC official noted that documents taken from the Algerian Embassy suggested that Polisario mercenaries were trafficked through Algeria into Libya with the knowledge and complicity of the Algerian government.
The documents indicated the Algerian government acted in support of Gathafi's regime throughout the civil war despite Algiers' denial, according to the website.
The NTC said other Polisario mercenaries were killed in fighting or fled following the unexpectedly quick collapse of the Gathafi's regime in Tripoli.
The deployment of Polisario mercenaries to fight alongside Gathafi loyalists has caused huge tensions between the NTC and Algeria since the beginning of the revolution. The rebel council accused Algerian officials of supporting Gathafi by sending Polisario mercenaries.
In an interview with Algerian Echorouk daily, Abdul Hafiz Ghoga, the NTC's Vice-Chairman, said in June that he had documents proving that the Algerian military had conducted daily flights to four airports including Sabha, and Maatikia Benina.
Ghoga said that rebels identified some dead Algerian troops who were fighting alongside Gathafi troops against Libyan rebels.
In March, Ali Richi, a former Migration Minister who joined the rebels, expressed his astonishment at the Polisario mercenaries' fight for Gathafi's regime.
"When you read the ethics of the Polisario Front, the claim they are a liberation movement with a just cause," Richi told El Muhajer TV.
"Now, they have been hired by Gathafi to killing Libyans who are demanding their freedom and rights. It is very surprising!" Richi added, calling on the Algerian government to stop Polisario mercenaries from flowing into Libya from Algeria.

Hi Encinom or Anconinn,
Government has already put itself into every woman's and man's right to private medical care. Now the government can get into the woman's uterus and it's NOW all legal! And now they will kill your children upon request. These women in the photograph disgust me. How you can treat a child inside your body so grossly and terribly is beyond understanding!
Anti-choice? I am not anti-choice. I made that choice when I chose to lay down in bed with a man. I also CHOSE LIFE! We Christians are not anti-choice, we have chosen life…even for you. I pray that you see God's light.
October 28, 2013 at 10:27am
I agree with Puddle Duck in that your post made sense Tim. However, I must ask you, what does this have to do with the topic at hand? Just curious.
October 17, 2013 at 10:22am
How true Anconinn (or Encinom). I really do wish that we would have the rule of law in this country. When a president can arbitrarily choose to not enforce certain parts of a law, especially his "prize" legislation (here's a hint for you…Obamacare), then he is violating the law.
As to so-called imaginary friends; it is better to trust in God than to put faith in man (verse from Psalms…cannot recall the actual reference off of the top of my head). Your friend appears to be government. I am so sorry for you sweetie.

Treatment for someone as young as Coy is undergo psychological counseling and testing. The treatment you seem to be suggesting, if I understand you correctly, is hormone therapy and eventual SRS (sexual reassignment surgery). Read the WPATH (World Proffesional Association of Transgender Health) Standards of Care, version 7 (published in early 2011), http://www.wpath.org, and it lays out the professionally recommended guide lines for transition. A child is not ready for the physical transformation that follows. When she becomes an adolescent, then she will be eligible for hormone therapy (if she is professionally recommended). SRS can only be carried out when she reaches 18.

"This is not a girl, this is a boy who's parents paid a doctor to mutilate his genitals. The decision to remove ones genitals (right or wrong) is a decision an adult should make for his or her self."Where did you come up with this statement? Where in the article did you read where Coy has had SRS (Sexual Reassignment Surgery)? I have seen enough uninformed opinions concerning transgender people and this person's parents. Please read the article and do a little research.
NO child is EVER operated upon for SRS. Hormone therapy does not even begin until the child reaches adolescence. Surgery is ONLY performed when that person reaches the age of majority in their respective country. So Coy could not have SRS until she turns 18. And that is ONLY if Coy passes through a battery of psychological testing. Yes, many children who present as the opposite sex (from which they were born) do convert back to their original gender. In follow up studies 6-23% (mostly boys) who were treated for Gender Dysporia as children had this dysphoria persist into adulthood (From WORLD PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION for TRANDGENDER HEATH, Version 7). See http://www.wpath.org. So don't get your shorts twisted up in a wad. Coy may go back to being a boy or she may go on to be the girl that she feels herself to be. Time will tell the story.
Please educate yourself before running off at the mouth!

If I remember my high school Spanish (which is rather sketchy) your name must mean No More Pants. Does that mean you don't want to wear pants anymore? You must want to wear a skirt or a dress then! And you have the nerve to follow Jayne's posts and my posts with this never ending, and non-changing drivel that is based upon your Cro-Magnun beliefs and brain structure.
Have you EVER looked outside of yourself to view, and try to understand anyone different from yourself (regardless of the differeence)?
You keep talking about overwhelming scientific evidence. Well, where is it? Please provide links or addresses to this evidence that you purport exists in overwhelming volume. The more I read about your posts I am sensing a pattern of outright combativeness and denial. In other words, "I do think that you protest too much." I am beginning to think that you carry a very deep seated "incongruence" of your own deep within your own psyche and that you cannot find a resolution (I have observed this in a fellow co-worker for over 15 years). You carry conflicts in your own mind. These are the same things that transsexuals face throughout their lives. Failing to find resolution can drive one to extreme depression and in some cases suicide. Regarless of my overwhelming lack of personal feelings for you, I never wish to see anyone waste their life. Why don't you check out some psychotherapy dear. I think it may be needed.
June 20, 2013 at 5:11pm
Pantalones, I just saw your other post. Your ignorance patronizing attitude and condescension is truly a work of art. Go back to my first post and try to understand if you were in my position. This is my last post to you as you are not worth the effort.
June 20, 2013 at 5:08pm
Why don't you try answering the points I brought up to your argument. Instead you throw pejoritive statements about mental disorders. It truly sounds like you have one as you cannot debate with facts but with innuendo and bluster.
For the last time I will explain it to you (and in small words so that you can understand). Your gender is in your mind and your heart. Your physical sex is what you were born with, that is either a penis or a vagina (just explaining it to you Pantalones). In the majority of cases in this world, the gender matches the physical sex and no one suffers. In some cases the mental wiring for gender gets "crossed" and it does not match the physical sex.
Honestly, Pantalones, trying to explain something of this nature to bigotted and ignorant people is like castings pearls before swine. It is a total waste of mental energy and time. I wish you had replied differently and maybe, just maybe, we could have had a decent conversation. Go and wallow in your ignorance and your stubbornness. Have a nice life honey. Who knows, maybe you will meet someone as intellectually as destitute as yourself. Personally, I am enjoying my life and am extremely happy. For yourself, all I can possibly offer is "ignorance is bliss."

@ Steve_Surfs
"…God isl not mocked." Yes I totally agree. However, my agreement with you ends right there. Did God give you His insight into human behavior and mental functions? Has He raised your "pay grade" to be able to judge other human beings? I am also a MtF transsexual. God does not make mistakes as He is perfect. He made me the way that I am. Why God made me this way is beyond my understanding (to paraphrase Rachelle). Though we are born with this obstacle, this deformity to overcome, God has given us the means to become the people, in body, that we already are in our minds, heart and soul. Self-righteous Christians, the "holier-than-thou" type think and feel that they are given the intelligence and the wisdom to judge us and condemn us because we are different, because our minds do not "conform" to society's expectations.
We transsexuals act as a mirror to people such as yourself. We relect your own fears, predjudices, uncertainties, hatred and your own lack of self esteem. The reflection is ugly. The resultant emotions lead to your "wonderful acceptance of us" (sarc), bigotted remarks, harrassment, physical, emotional and intellectual assault, rape and murder. All of this is perpetrated on us because you think that we are freaks! All we want to do is blend into society and live our lives as women. If you don't like us, then stay away from us and leave us alone! I thank God that not all people in this world are a narrow minded as you have shown.
June 20, 2013 at 4:08pm
Rachelle and Jayne, I am coming in late to the party. I cannot think of much else to add that you ladies haven't already said.
East…you have a wonderful and open mind, engaging in respectful dialouge and listening to Rachelle's and Jayne's excellant writings.
I too am a very devoted Christian. I am involved in my church with our Women's group and a communion minister. My pastor, the staff and many of my friends know of my "past life." I am accepted by them with no questions asked. I am also living 2+ years as female waiting for my surgery, which should be next year. I too have lived every day of my life trying to be someone else. I was trying to be the son that my parents expected or the man that society expected me to become. In my early 50″s I could not accept the denial any more. I will live my life as a woman with the anatomy as correct as can be surgically possible. Why do I want this? To be physically complete, to have my body match my mind and gender identity. I wish that I was born female as I truly wished that I could bear my own children. Well, as I approach 56 y/o I will have to content myself with grandchildren…eventually.
BTW, East, I have always thought of "you guys" as a non-gender term just as you do. The women in my office do the same thing…no problem.
I wish you all a very lovely day. I have enjoyed reading the "back-and-forth" with no name calling and anger. God bless, everyone.
June 20, 2013 at 3:51pm
@ No Mas Pantalones
"who is reportedly still legally a man." What does that even mean? Besides the "legally" malarkey, a man will always be a man and a woman will always be a woman. Surgically manipulate the body all you like, but you will still be a XX or an XY. Sorry but you can't change that.
You make that same tired excuse of chromosomes. I hear it so much and it grows very old. You are correct in saying that the chromosomal makeup cannot be changed. however, the issue you are discussing is gender identity. We are "wired" with the brain of a woman but have the physical sex of a man. Can you even imagine yourself, with your male gender identity and waking up as a woman? You would rightfully feel very uncomfortable and completely out-of-place. That is what every transsexual (TS) feels. We try throughout our lives to live in the physical gender we were born with, to live up to someone elses expectations. All it ends up with is a broken spirit, depression, failed marriages, broken families and, for some, suicide. While we cannot alter our biological chemistry, except for our hormone levels, we can alter the body to conform with our mind's view of ourself. Transsexuals are a mirror to people like yourself. The reflection you see is very ugly and it shows in your writings and what you say to us.
I love God with all of my heart and soul. He made me the way I am. I do not judge anyone because of my own experience. Why do you?
May 14, 2013 at 3:14pm
@ Rowge
Just a clarification on teaching in a Catholic school. You have to be Catholic to teach the religion courses. I have known many non-Catholic Christian teachers that were teaching math, science, social studies and gym. All of them (fortunately for my children's sake) were exceptional teachers and great human beings.
May 10, 2013 at 11:22am
@ Midas
Your mocking is quite alarming. When you laugh about Mary being the Mother of God I must ask you: how was Jesus born? What woman gave BIRTH to Him?
You can keep your closed mind. I hoped that we could concentrate on what unites us, that is our love and worship of God. Instead you pick upon all of this garbage that tears us apart. Shame on you! I will pray for your soul and for you to open your heart to all of God's children, even if we do not believe as you do.
May 9, 2013 at 10:16am
Every member of every church will have their own opinions on every subject under the sun. Most will will agree with the teaching of their church (why belong to an organization that you disagree with?). Those Catholics who approve of abortion are similar to RINO's as they are Catholic In Name Only (CINO). They maintain the Catholic identity because they were raised as children in the church and have "wandered off". These CINO's maintain church affiliation and membership because they do not wish to cause family discord.
Fedup Ohio you need to get to know more Catholics if the one, two or three ones that you know have divergent feelings of the RC church. These people are the exception and thankfully are not the rule. IMHO, I completely, but respectfully, disagree with you concerning the church supporting abortion.
May 9, 2013 at 10:00am
@ Militant-Church, RFP313 and Fedup Ohio
Very well said M-C. I grew up as a craddle Catholic with 1 uncle (priest), 2 aunts (nuns) and 2 cousins (nuns). My daddy became a deacon. I grew up surrounded by church influence in one way or another. I understand the "feel" of the church and its teachings without knowing it on the level that you know it M-C.
RFP313 I really love your comment about going to confession and then "rinse and repeat" the same sins. God knows your heart, your mind and your soul. It is impossible to fool Him. Those recidivist and serial sinners (especially the same sin) will maintain that behaviour at their own risk. Eventually you are held accountable by the one and only Judge of this world.
Fedup Ohio, I do not worship Mary. I honor her and she is a role model of mine. My three feminine role models are Mary, the Mother of Jesus, Esther and my my own mother. I ask her things in my heart, however, I do know he difference between worship and honoring, praying and asking. In your opinion the people of a church are the church. Therefore, if I see a few people from a Methodist, Lutherand, Baptist, etc. church espouse varying personal opinions contrary to the teachings of their church, then does that then alter the teachings and tenets of that particular denomination? By the same token Catholics have their own minds and their own opinions. God gave us free will and did not make us slaves. (cont)

Second H7N9 bird flu case confirmed in B.C.; husband of first patient
Lydia Ko says it feels like she's going home.
The New Zealander became the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour when she captured the CN Canadian Women's Open at the age of 15 two summers ago.
Ko won again last year, and will headline the field for the 2014 tournament — now known as the Canadian Pacific Women's Open — when it gets going later this month at London Hunt & Country Club.
"I love playing in Canada and the support I've been getting is huge," the 17-year-old said on a conference call Monday. "To me, Canada feels quite close to what it's like in New Zealand. It feels really welcoming whenever I go there.
"Having my first LPGA win in Canada, that's huge and that's always going to be with me. They always say the first is one of the most memorable and it's definitely been the case."
Tournament director Brent McLaughlin said the Canadian golf community has a strong connection to Ko because of the success she's had the last two years.
"Any time you see young talents just excel you're proud of them," he said. "It's even brought further to the forefront when you feel like you've had a part in helping them along.
"People need heroes. They need to rally around heroes and they need a reason to watch."
Ko was an amateur and didn't collect any winnings when she won her back-to-back Canadian championships at Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, B.C., and at Edmonton's Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
She turned pro in October 2013 and has already won two tournaments this season, including the Marathon Classic last month.
"This year has been very exciting, first year on the tour as an LPGA rookie. It's been a fun year. I've learned a lot of things along the way," said Ko. "I really look forward to going back and playing the Canadian Women's Open. The last two years, the Canadian Open was a very exciting tournament for me."
While she's happy with her decision to play on tour full time, Ko said dealing with the weekly grind has been an adjustment.
"I've been trying to balance life outside the course and not over doing it and taking some time off," she said. "Outside the golf course I do the normal teenage things — watch TV, talk to my friends on Facebook.
"I think that kind of helps me to bring back my life outside of golf and outside of what I do most of the time, and actually be like a normal teenager and talk about school and gossip about things."
Ko — who was named one of Time Magazine's top 100 most influential people in April — is still adjusting to her fame, including being viewed as a role model.
"That's pretty cool because I'm only 17 myself," she said. "When I hear these little girls or boys say 'You're my role model and I look up to you' it is kind of cool and it makes me feel like I need to become a better person, a better player so that I live up to what they expect of me."
Ko is one of a number of big names set play at this year's Canadian Open in London, Ont., from Aug. 18 to 24, but one player who won't be taking part due to injury is Michelle Wie.
"She's such an awesome player and it would have been great to have Michelle there because we all know that she brings a lot of the crowds out," said Ko. "Hopefully the crowds will still come out. It's really unfortunate that it happened during this time."
Meanwhile, the Canadian contingent will be led by 16-year-old Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., who finished second at last week's U.S. Women's Amateur tournament in Glen Cove, N.Y.
Ko said there is a buzz on tour about playing in Canada, not only for the $US2.25-million purse, but because of how the tournament is received.
"When players talk to each other ... they want to go and play and they're super excited to play. They don't want to miss out on it," she said. "It's been a great experience for me"

NEWPORT A Lake Champlain cruise boat is getting a new home on another Vermont lake.
The boat Northern Star was taken out of the water Monday in Burlington and moved by truck to Newport on Tuesday where it is waiting to move into its new home, Lake Memphremagog.
Owner and Capt. Chris Johansen formerly captained the Newport Princess, a small tour boat on Lake Memphremagog.
The Caledonian Record reported that Johansen worked for other tour lines on Lake Champlain before deciding to bring a large charter cruise boat to Newport.
The vessel was partially disassembled before being moved early Tuesday. Johansen got a special permit from the state to move the 88,000-pound main deck and hull.
The boats top decks were removed during shipping. It will be reassembled once its back in the water.MORE IN Vermont NewsWhile the recession is officially over, many of its effects continue to be felt in Vermont, where...

Two-time AMA Pro 750cc Superstock Champion Jimmy Moore Heading Back To Alaska
© 2015, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. by John Ulrich
(This original, copyrighted material may not be copied, cut and pasted, published or otherwise reproduced in any way in any medium, which means, don't post this on another website or BBS. If you want somebody else to see this, send, share or tweet a link or post a link to this page.)
Jimmy Moore, the 2001 and 2002 AMA Pro 750cc Superstock Champion, is moving his family to Anchorage, Alaska and hopes to open an indoor BMX and skate park there.
Moore is originally from Alaska but moved to Oregon to race motorcycles and was based in Eugene during his AMA Pro career.
He is married to Kara and has a five-year-old son, Gus.
Moore said his motivation to do the indoor BMX and skate park is his son Gus. "Being self-employed as a racer, there was no point doing a babysitter or day care," Moore said. "I went from being a pro racer to being a stay-at-home father and it turned out to be one of the best jobs I've had in my life. I never thought it would be that much fun. I am not trying to groom a racer, but his abilities on two wheels are just insane. I reckon it's monkey-see, monkey-do."
Moore called roadracingworld.com with the news on Wednesday afternoon.

'FlashForward' Actress Joins USA Network's 'Common Law'
Sonya Walger has been added as a series regular in the upcoming Michael Ealy drama.
FlashForward actress Sonya Walger has joined the cast of USA Network's upcoming series, Common Law.
Common Law centers on two homicide detectives, Travis Marks (Michael Ealy) and Wes Mitchell (The Chicago Code's Warren Kole), who have issues with each other. In an effort to resolve their conflicts, their captain (Jack McGee) sends both to counseling.
Walger will be a series regular on the buddy cop show, The Hollywood Reporter confirms, playing Dr. Emma Ryan, an intelligent psychiatrist with a sharp sense of humor. Emma was a top graduate of her class, practicing in Beverly Hills before providing group therapy at a community center, where she meets Travis and Wes. Walger also appeared on ABC's Lost.
Production begins on Common Law next month in Louisiana and will premiere next year, as Entertainment Weekly first reported.
The series comes from CBS Television Studios and Junction Entertainment. Cormac and Marianne Wibberley (National Treasure) serve as executive producers with Jon Turteltaub (Jericho), who helmed the pilot, and Craig Sweeny (Medium). Dan Shotz and Karim Zreik (Harper's Island) serve as co-executive producers.
USA delivered an average of 3.51 million viewers in its third quarter, easily dominating against its cable competitors. This is also the first time any entertainment network surpassed the 3.5 million mark.

Looks better online..... The rug is very nice online, however upon getting this open and in our home after it was delivered, we just really disliked it. The colors are muddy, and dismal. It looks more like a rug for a teen/childs room than an adults living room. The decoration online had a slight elegant feel, once in our home the decoration just looked comical. The ends were each 1 1/2 inches off ... so not completely a 11x17 rug. I really wanted to like this rug ... I may end up returning it if the process isn't too much of a pain ... just don't feel like its worth the $XXX+ we paid .... hopefully the next rug we order won't have the same outcome :-/

How to Size Your Room For an Area Rug
A rug in the right size can complement the whole room, accent furnishings, bring life to a dull room, or make a subtle statement. However, if it's too big or too small, it may leave the impression of an unfinished or poorly decorated room. Before you start shopping for area rugs, you'll want to size the room. This guide will help you to select the right size rug in any room.

My Date With Paul Walker
By GangStarrGirl on December 02, 2013
BlogHer Network
The post My Date With Paul Walker appeared first on GangStarr Girl I had seen The Fast and the Furious (part one) and thought it was a decent action flick but it didn't stick with me, so once the franchise began expanding I didn't make any effort to see the follow up films. Eventually, I ended up working for a publication that required me to cover TV and film, and got invited to a set visit for Fast Five. Set visits are when members of the press get invited to check out the behind the scenes production of a film in progress, as well as interview some of the cast. . . .

David Prosser: Pension planning over a barrel
Friday 02 July 2010
Outlook Congratulations to Diageo for coming up with a bright idea for plugging its pension deficit more rapidly than its scheme trustees could have expected. The notion of handing over company assets that are otherwise financially unproductive – maturing whisky in the drinks company's case – is a natural extension of the trend that has seen a string of other businesses transfer property to their pension plans.
Diageo serves up millions of barrels of Scotch whisky to plug pension deficit
Friday 02 July 2010
The drinks giant Diageo is to use millions of barrels of its maturing whisky as collateral to help plug its £862m pension deficit. Under an agreement with its UK pension trustee, Diageo said yesterday it will transfer its maturing whisky stock – which has a book value of £500m – into a new pension funding partnership (PFP).

Friday 07 May 2010
The drinks giant Diageo said it had seen "some signs of recovery" and growth of 12 per cent in its third-quarter sales to 31 March. But the performance was flattered by comparisons with sales in the depths of recession. The company, whose brands include Guinness stout and Johnnie Walker whisky, warned that "consumer trends remain difficult to predict".

David Prosser: Let's call the bluff of the tax whingers
Friday 12 February 2010
Outlook One by one, they are coming out of the woodwork. On Tuesday, it was the boss of independent financial adviser Hargreaves Lansdown whingeing about the forthcoming 50p top rate of income tax (he paid himself an abnormally large dividend to get in first). Yesterday, it was the turn of Diageo, the drinks giant, to warn that it might have to move its headquarters to another domicile if UK tax becomes "egregious" for corporates or individuals.
