Maddry Family Photos
by Reginald Carter, Church HistorianCharles Edward Maddry (1876-1962) was born in Chapel Hill and grew up in Hillsborough, North Carolina. He was the eldest of seven children born to William Alexander and Julia R. Suggs Maddry. He attended the University of North Carolina from 1898 to 1903 and served his first pastorate at our church from 1901-1904. He married Emma Parker (1881-1973) of Hillsborough in May 1906. They had only one child, Katherine, born in December 1907. Katherine also attended the University of North Carolina, graduating in 1930. She married Robert Watson Severance from Florence South Carolina. He was a graduate of Furman University School of Library Science. In 1940, Robert joined the faculty of Baylor University in Waco, Texas and remained there until 1953. Robert and Katherine had three children: Katherine (Kay) b. 1935, Robert b. 1938 and Sarah b. 1941.
The photographs shown here are from a collection of photographs donated to the church by Ron Thomas, the husband of Katherine (Kay) Severance, the eldest grandchild of Dr. and Mrs. Maddry. Katherine died in 2010 and had her funeral held at First Baptist where her grandfather both began his first ministry (1901) and finished his last ministry (1957).
The photograph on the left shows Dr. Maddry with his three grandchildren and was taken in 1944. Sarah is on his lap while Robert sits on the armchair and Katherine (Kay) stands behind the chair. The photograph on the right was taken in 1950 with Sarah, Dr. Maddry, Mrs. Maddry and Robert seated on the couch while Katherine, Robert and Katherine (Kay) stand in back.
The photographs included in the Maddry family collection span a period of 20 years, from 1937 to 1957 and are a valuable addition to our archives. We are most grateful to Ron Thomas for his donation.

Fort Spokane (2)
Fort Blogs |
Fort Spokane (2) (1882-1899) - Established as Camp Spokane in the fall of 1880 by Lt. Colonel Henry C. Merriam and four companies (D, E, F and I) of the 2nd U.S. Infantry. Renamed Fort Spokane early in 1882. The fort was turned over to the Coleville Indian Agency in 1898 at the start of the Spanish-American War.
Fort Spokane (2) History
Fort Spokane was the last army frontier post established in the Northwest. In 1884 there were about 25 buildings, including six barracks, a schoolroom, an ice house and and a two-story administrative building topped with a glass-sided cupola. Eventually there were about 50 buildings on the post including enlisted mens barracks, officers' quarters, a chapel and a hospital.
The fort was strategically located at the convergence of the Columbia River and the Spokane River about 50 mile northeast of the city of Spokane. The post served to consolidate older posts like Fort Colville closer to the population areas. When the Spanish American War broke out in 1898 the troops at Fort Spokane were moved elsewhere and the fort was turned over to the Coleville Indian Agency. In 1899 the post became a school for Indian children and later a tuberculosis sanatorium. The site was no longer used by the government in 1929.
Current Status
The National Park Service took over the site in 1960 with only four original buildings remaining from the fort. These four buildings and the site have been preserved and are now part of the Park Service's Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The restoration has saved the 1884 stable, the 1888 powder magazine, the 1889 reservoir and the 1892 guard house.

PROVIDENCE — One of the storylines of the Bruins season so far has been the surprising number of players called up from Providence to Boston.
General manager Peter Chiarelli said on Sunday that he is pleased with the contributions that the players recalled from the AHL have made to the NHL club.
Four of the players on the Boston roster on Tuesday night in Anaheim wore Providence sweaters on opening night of the AHL season in October — Ryan Spooner, Kevan Miller, Matt Fraser and Justin Florek, who was recalled on Monday.
Four players on the current P-Bruins roster have played their first NHL games this season with Boston — David Warsofsky, Zach Trotman, Niklas Svedberg and Craig Cunningham. P-Bruin Nick Johnson, an NHL veteran, has spent time with Boston, too.
"I met with (P-Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy) before (Sunday's) game and told him, 'Every one of the guys that have been up (in Boston) has played well. That's a testament to you and to (assistant coach Kevin Dean),'" said Chiarelli, who attended Sunday's 8-2 Providence win at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
Even though their lineup has been in constant flux because of call-ups, the P-Bruins are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 19-11, with one overtime loss and five shootout losses. Only five teams in the 30-team league have more points than Providence's 45.
"Selfishly, (player development) is my biggest priority. For the (Providence) fans, I know it's winning, and we've been doing that, too," said Chiarelli.
The fact that so many different players have gotten an NHL opportunity is a positive for his team, Cassidy said.
"You want to be the guy. If you get one chance, you want the second chance. Sometimes it can work both ways. If they take a different guy the next time, you're wondering, 'What did I do wrong the time it was my turn?' But that's what you work for.
"It's a good carrot. It's motivation. Some years you only get one or two call-ups. This year, what do we have? Half a dozen guys who have played their first NHL game? They all want to get on that ride," he said.
In a good place
As they head into the second half of the season, when crowds at the Dunkin' Donuts Center traditionally go up, Providence is third in the AHL with an average attendance of 7,319.
Only Hershey (9,209) and Grand Rapids (7,792) are ahead of Providence, which drew 8,996 on Friday and 8,692 on Sunday afternoon.
The Dunk's other winter tenant, Providence College basketball, is averaging 6,970.
Knight struggling
Winger Jared Knight is in a deep slump, with no goals in his last 22 games and one in his last 32.
"He's offensively challenged right now. He's been up in the lineup, he's been down in the lineup. He's been on the power play. He's been off the power play," said Cassidy.
"At some point, you have to work your way out of those situations and find a way to produce or bring something else. The only thing I worry about, when guys that rely on offense stop producing, you can't let the rest of your game suffer. And that's been the message. (Saturday) he had a lot of energy physically on the forecheck. But other nights it's not there," Cassidy said.
"I've seen players in the past come through, young guys, their offense dries up and their game dries up. You have to find a way to contribute to the cause."
Knight, who turns 22 next week, was the 32nd overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft. He missed all but 10 games as a rookie last season because of injuries.
A fine line
Cassidy said he talked to Bobby Robins on Sunday about a 10-minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct that kept the hard-hitting winger in the penalty box for the first half of the third period of Saturday night's 2-1 loss in Springfield.
Even though he is one of the AHL's most willing fighters — Robins has 15 fighting majors, second only to Zach Stortini (21) of Norfolk — he is much more than a one-dimensional player. Robins provides energy and creates chances with his punishing forechecking.
"We had a bit of a discussion before the game because (Saturday) night he took a 10. He was playing well. He's a guy that, right now, if you shorten the lineup, he's still in it. He's created offense. He's got four goals and 10 points. So when he gets taken out of the game when we're a little bit short up front like now, it's just not the best time," said Cassidy.
After fighting Worcester's Matt Pelech on Friday and Springfield's J.F. Jacques on Saturday, Robins kept his gloves on in Sunday's 8-2 blowout against the Sharks.
"I think Bobby's fought everyone on their team three times, so no one can question his courage," said Cassidy.
Smart move
Rob Flick, Anthony Camara and Chris Casto saw time on the power play in the third period on Sunday as Cassidy tried to not embarrass the Sharks, though Flick and Camara did score with the man-advantage.
"You don't want to run up (the score). We play Worcester a lot. We've been on the other end of those scores at times over the course of seasons. You've got to show some respect. But you want your players to feel good about themselves," Cassidy said.

BRISTOL — The tennis courts at Mt. Hope High School were the home of a 7-5 playoff team this spring. The courts will be there next spring, but the tennis team will not.
Mt. Hope is suspending boys tennis and adding boys volleyball to its Interscholastic League lineup for the 2013-2014 academic year. Christy Belisle, the director of athletics, cites declining interest in tennis and a growing interest in volleyball. Bristol and Warren do not have feeder programs for tennis but do offer volleyball at Kickemuit Middle School. In addition, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a parochial elementary school in Bristol, also has volleyball, and a beach volleyball program is starting at the Bristol Town Beach, she noted.
John Jasionowski, Cumberland's coach for 28 years, president of the Rhode Island Tennis Coaches Association and a member of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League's tennis committee, worries that other tennis programs may succumb to a lack of interest. He said that Westerly started the 2013 season with only five players and often had to forfeit the third doubles match. Warwick Veterans did not have a team in 2012 but fielded one this year only after coach Dan Robinson recruited 11 players from the student body, one more than the minimum of 10 (four singles and six doubles) required for a match. Rogers had one boy on its roster this year. Freshman Eric Vieira practiced with Middletown so he could play in the state qualifying tournament.
"That's a shame. That was a shock. They had a good program," Jasionowski said of the Mt. Hope development.
Geoff Keegan coached the Huskies for the last four seasons. A faculty member at Mt. Hope, he won a Division IV title at Providence Country Day in 2009 and then took the Mt. Hope job. He inherited a program that had a five-year record of 5-61 in Divisions III and IV. His teams were 4-9, 4-7-1, 1-10-1 and 7-5.
Seven seniors graduated from his 2013 squad. Mike McGee played No. 1 singles and Daniel Simonds No. 2. They were co-captains. John Farias played No. 4. Zachary Minior played first doubles and Cody Perry and Ryan Franco third doubles. Adam Hamel also played third doubles.
Junior Thomas Amaral played third singles, freshman Michael Contente first doubles and fourth singles, sophomore Duane Adkins and junior Chris Kern second doubles and sophomore Stephen Riendeau third doubles.
With that quintet and four players on the team but not in the lineup, Keegan had a nucleus for next year. One incoming freshman signed up for tennis at a Kickemuit Middle School sports night, Belisle told The Bristol Phoenix. She is out of town, and several attempts to reach her on Monday were unsuccessful.
Asked if he could find at least 10 players next year, Keegan said Monday: "I sure would hope so."
Scouring hallways for athletes is part of the regimen at many schools. Tim Potter, head coach of boys tennis at Lincoln High, said he spent many a lunch period in the school cafeteria last winter promoting the tennis team. He had barely enough players to fill four singles and three doubles matches. The players at the bottom of his ladder were inexperienced, but they bonded with their teammate and had fun.
"It's a lifelong sport. As long as they're having fun, that's all you can hope for as a coach," Keegan said.
Fourteen boys played junior varsity volleyball at Mt. Hope this year. Lacrosse, though, has had a more significant impact on tennis. Tennis numbers have declined as existing lacrosse rosters have increased and schools have added new lacrosse programs. Coventry and North Smithfield/Burrillville co-op launched varsity teams in 2012, and Cranston added teams at East and West this year.
"Our numbers are down since we added lacrosse," Keegan said. "That's not to blame it; that's where the progress has grown."
Jasionowski agreed.
"Lacrosse has 50 kids on the team. I have 22. I had to recruit, or I would not have had enough for a JV team. Quality players are playing those sports. … Lacrosse is the big one. Tennis has had its ups and downs. Now it's a down level where lacrosse is the big killer. It's been killing me the last five to 10 years," he said.
Lacrosse is a contact sport, and that physical component attracts boys. Youth lacrosse is booming on both sides of Narragansett Bay, youth tennis much less so.
Tradition is another factor. Bristol and Warren have a strong tradition in soccer, not tennis, Keegan said.
At one time there were 45 high school tennis teams in Rhode Island, Jasionowski said. This year there were 39.
"Everyone I talk to says lacrosse is the killer," he said.
In Bristol and Warren, so is volleyball, at least for now. Belisle said the cut is not permanent, and Keegan said "there's a chance it could come back." According to The Phoenix, a subcommittee of the Bristol-Warren School Committee has discussed installing a turf field, which would allow the high school to start a girls field hockey program. In that case, tennis could return, and the school district would remain in compliance with Title IX, the federal gender-equity law.

UCLA hands UO women worst loss of season
LOS ANGELES — Yet another Pac-10 women's team ran with — and ultimately away from — Oregon, as UCLA scored a flurry of late baskets in a 104-80 victory Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion, handing the Ducks their most lopsided loss of the season.
It was also the fifth consecutive loss for Oregon (12-8, 3-5 Pac-10), which has allowed 100 points or more three times during the losing skid. And for the fourth time in that stretch, the Ducks — who lead the nation in scoring at 85.6 points per game — were held below their scoring average.
The Ducks trailed by just three, 50-47, at halftime, but in the final minutes they simply couldn't keep up with the Bruins (13-6, 6-2), who ended the game on a 34-13 run.

Dodge Durango Prices Paid and Buying Experience
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I'd be happy to help you out, msusimon. This truck's lease program actually varies by region. The Northeast or Great Lakes regions have a much more attractive lease program on it than the rest of the country does. If you are outside these areas, don't bother leasing one. If you are in one of the regions, according to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Dodge Durango SLT 4WD with an MSRP of $35,500 and a selling price of $29,500 through Chrysler Financial right now for 24 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $516.

dodgehappy Posts: 118Hello!
We are highly considering the lease of a new 06' Durango SLT from a dealer in Columbus OH. Cloth/DVD/tow package/3rd row seat. Sticker $36,035. Dealer saying with an 01' Town and Country LX (59k miles) as trade, that we owe 2,500 on, and nothing else out of pocket, lease with tax for 12K a year and 27 month lease is 298.00 per month. Claims residual is 50% or 17,650 and money factor of 1.968, though the money factor he emailed me does not appear to be in a correct format. -

montly approx pymt with tax $298 -
kfranci2 Posts: 31Hi dodgehappy - I'm confused about your $ down - are you putting $300 down or is that a negative payoff of your current car? Looks like you must be getting a "red dot" car since what I understand of rebates are that it's $6000 for the durango + $1000 for lease + $1000 for unit in inventory since 4/1/06. The money factor and residual (if it is still 50%) look good. Are you paying for the DVD player or was it included for free? I've seen it both ways on the ones I've lookd at.
dodgehappy Posts: 118Hopefully this will clarify... We have an Chrysler minivan that we owe $2,500 on and the dealer stated they will give us $5,500 for it if we trade.
Does 50% sound right on the residual for a 27 month SLT lease?
What do you mean by "red dot", is that a car sitting since April? Is it a bad idea to pick up one of those?
Not sure on the DVD player, I just know it is part of the sticker price, but I haven't seen the sticker yet to confirm if it was a free option. Does that make a big difference in the lease?
The dealer did tell me yesterday the lease he calculated the $298 payment on is actually based on a car price 500.00 higher then the correct vehicle price after all rebates. Should the payment go down now because of that 500.000, and if so by how much? -
kfranci2 Posts: 31Hi dodgehappy, The 50% residual sounds good to me, but if you are putting $3000 as a downpayment, then your payment looks a little high for me.
Take a look at the DVD player. If it was a no-cost option, then it gets added into the MSRP for the residual, but does not get added into your negotiated price for the Durango. basically, you get 2 good benefits, the residual is higher because you have it, but you don't have to pay it.
I would ask for some more details before pulling the trigger. It's possible this dealer is marking up the interest rate to get more $$ for him (bad for you).
I don't think it's bad to buy a car on the lot since April - they haven't changed at all and it allows you to get an extra $1000 off! -

automom Posts: 1I'm trying to lease a dodge durango SLT 4x4 2006 with interior convenience, 3rd row (3-pass), awd t/case, 5.7L Hemi Multi Displacemnt engine, gray running boards--sticker 33,430 sticker with above add ons 36,520
I qualify for employee pricing and want to use all rebates etc possible. I also qualify for a returning lease loyalty rate. I'm looking to lease in the MetroDetroit area, but I'm willing to drive if a better lease deal is possible elsewhere.
Before rebates and employee discounts I'm looking at a price of around 32,662 this is off the tmv on edmunds.
What money factor & residual should I be getting. I want to lease for no more than 24 months and have 12,000 miles a year. With $0 down What do you think the monthly payment would be?
Also this is the first time I've ever posted to any site, so if I'm not doing it correctly I appologize. -

plainsman Posts: 6Good price! Ours was 06 with everything except the skids, but with mudsplash guards and tow hooks for $31.x.
The nav is really nice. Our sticker was $42.x too. We bought ours in June this year.
We ended up in minneapolis one night and our son had to go to the hospital, that night the nav paid for itself driving down town. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings dodgehappy. You never mentioned the selling price of the Durango that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the truck that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what the selling price is.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi sasuke. I would be happy to estimate what this truck's lease payment should be for you. However, in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with its full MSRP. This number is used to calculate the depreciation portion of your truck's payment. Let me know and I'll crunch some numbers for you.

tnman1 Posts: 5I leased a 2004 Durango in August 2004. I prepaid the lease.
About a month ago, I received a promotion from Chrysler called "Pull Ahead". It indicated that Chrysler would pay up to three of my lease payments if I would stop by my local dealership and discuss this with them. I was subsequently informed by Chrysler that since I prepaid my lease, nothing could be done. In the past week, I received another "Pull Ahead" promotion and this time it stated that I would have up to five of my lease payments paid by Chrysler if I would stop by or call the dealership. I have called Chrysler and e-mailed them about this and I expect the same answer. Any suggestions on how to pursue this and possibly have some sort of similar offer made?
Thanks -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi tnman1. I am surprised that DaimlerChrysler told you that the fact that you pre-paid your entire lease precludes you from taking advantage of its early termination program. I have seen a number of these offers where manufacturers will refund a portion of the pre-paid lease to consumers who want to take advantage of an early termination program. I guess if Chrysler told you that this cannot be done that it can't.

tnman1 Posts: 5Thanks Car man,
I am really getting annoyed with Chrysler. I didn't notice in the lease agreement until a few months back that there is also a $300 return fee if you do not lease again, purchase the leased vehicle, or buy another Chrysler product. They recently sent me a $500 discount coupon on Dodge products that has to be used before my lease expires. When I contacted Chrysler financial about their latest offers, they e-mailed me back and said they couldn't find my account on file and to contact customer service. Customer service has sent me to Chrysler financial in the past. Sort of a revolving door that leads to nowhere. I had leased three Mercury Mountaineers in the past and for the most part, things went very smooth but with no incentives after the third one expired, then I turned to Chrysler. Chrysler really needs to do a better job of keeping up accurately with their customers if they expect to keep them.I will post any other offers I receive should they be forthcoming. -

jfritsch Posts: 958Look up the Durango you want used with about 16000 miles on it (kbb.com and nada.com). (The 44000 model probably wholesales for 25000 year 1 is my guess) Durango is the valedictorian for depreciation.
Anyway, take the 1 year used wholesale price and add 15-20% for a good deal on a new one. that probably puts us around 29-30000 purchase price.
A good lease deal on something in this range is about 300-400+/mo for a 36 month 15000mi/yr lease with taxes (7%) included and little money down. Notice the big range as most lease deals are not attractive, and true finance rates with banks can vary widely. (leases are meant to be fleeces) You may be a into the 450+ range with the Durango with those terms due to the depreciation. As you can see, your deal ($650/mo) is nothing to write home about. (which isn't surprising) This assumes you have good credit.
If you must lease (own your own business) Email 10-30 dealers end of month (dodge website) for payment quotes with your specs, fact you are contacting 20 dealers and your criteria (no money down 15k 36 mo inc taxes etc) Work the top 3-4 bidders against one another via cellphone. Perhaps get direct purchase prices too. Calculate what a direct 30k purchase with your credit union's 5.x percent or so rate would be for 3-4 years. Compare it to the lease.
If the lowest you have heard so far is your survey walking into 2-3 dealerships or reading some ads you may be in for some fun as the Durango moves like lead and you may be able to work a very low deal.
--Good luck

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi njdealguy. Hopefully you never finalized your lease on the Durango that you are interested in June because DaimlerChrysler significantly enhanced its lease program in July. Let's take a look at the selling price that you were quoted. A loaded 2007 Dodge Durango Limited 4WD probably has a spread of around $4,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. So the selling price that you are being given is probably right around invoice minus any available cash incentives, which is a very good deal.

Paper Diamond and LOUDPVCK might not be producer's you'd normally group together, but the union fits here. This is just the right amount of turn up for you and whatever needs you have. The melody snakes up and down this track, and when paired with those drums? This one is setting fire alarms when it touches, trust we.

Back off, yo-yo diets! Eat the right foods and you'll be on your way to a healthy, happy body.
Take a breather with these top five ways to manage and reduce wedding stress.
Your body is a creature of habit. It's constantly seeking ruts to settle into, and once it recognizes one, it reduces its own effort in order to "coast." This isn't always bad. If you eat healthy for a period, your body will "coast" by turning off cravings for fast food. However, if you do the same fitness regimen for too long, your body learns what to expect and "coasts" by burning fewer calories -- sometimes to a point at which you'll stop losing weight. This is what's known as a plateau. Here, three ways to get out of it.
1. Make a Power PlayIf you've stopped seeing results from your fitness training, first try reassessing your exercise time and intensity. Try bumping your training up an extra 10 minutes and add or increase the weights you use (I promise you won't bulk up).
2. Take a Surprise DetourPlateaus can occur when you engage in the same activity for too long. If you haven't lost a pound after two months of kickboxing, it's time to reassess. Your body needs a shock. Change your routine to something completely different. Try a yoga class.
3. Bring in a RingerYour body may think it knows you, but it doesn't know who else has your back. Bring in a friend or, if you can, hire a trainer. A workout buddy can push you harder, get you to try new things and make you accountable -- and consistent.
The Bottom Line Remember, plateaus don't mean you've done something wrong -- they're just natural, temporary ruts into which our bodies purposely settle. Avoiding a plateau is a matter of changing your routine and retraining your body to lose weight and build muscle.

Hello! I just moved to Western Washington from California ~ So I am having a lot of fun with gardening. We live way out in the forest on acreage. I have a lot of room. Gardening is so easy here, everything just GROWS! I have an English Cottage look. I have also started a collection of Bearded Iris. I have also planted a lot of Daylilies. I love purple! I also love the coffee colors too! I especially love roses. I have many. This year I have gotten some Old Garden Roses to try. I also grow all the old single heirloom hollyhocks. I thought hanging out and chatting with fellow gardeners might be fun. I have all types of roses. I love the English Style and OGR's, but I also love Floribundas and Hybrid Teas. Yes, I even have one original Knock-Out. My love of gardening comes from my parents. My father loves roses just as much as my mom. We always had huge bouquets of Peace on our table when I was little. My parents grow all the old Hybrid Teas and I still love them too. I just love roses!
Happy Gardening~

I need to be very careful when applying this as it's amazingly long-lasting and pigmented. Shows up as a vibrant matte reddish pink on me, and I find it best for evening use.
This is a great blush. I'm an NW20 and normally wear Deep Throat by NARS and I wanted to try something a little different this time. I saw Desire in the pan and was a little intimidated by the look of the blush (crazy pink). The makeup artist applied it at Murale and I was blown away at how fresh it looks on my cheek bones. Just make sure that you tap off the access after sweeping with the brush because it will look over kill if you over apply. Try this! You will love!

wow, what a beautiful blush! I am NW 15 and this pink blush looks great with my skin tone. It is very pigmented, so i had to use a light hand and rub some of the blush off my brush to avoid looking like a clown. This is very quickly becoming one of my favorties blushes in my stash. i actually own quite alot of blushes, so it will take me quite a while to hit pan with this, so I don't think i will repurchase anytime soon, unless Nars decided to discontiue it for some reason. In that case i would definatley buy a back-up of this. So pretty!
Desire is a BRIGHT matte pink. I would say it is blue based but it isn't that cool toned really, more to the medium side of blue based... It is very easy to overapply with this one, I usually use a Mac 187 and blend well - this gives a pretty pink flush on my NW20 skin. Would repurchase but because I use so little of it every time I don't think I will ever even hit pan to be honest!
I've been wanting this for a while now..finally i decided to get it and I dont regret it one bit!!! I love this bubble gum pink is so bright is so awsome..it looks scary but a little goes a long way if you blend it just right it looks gorgeous! for reference im an NC40 and Syracusse in Nars
Not a big fan of this colour, it's too warm and bright on my skin, even applied with a light hand it makes me look a bit ruddy. I was after a more bluer-toned pink than Mata Hari, but this wasn't it. I'm going to stick to Illamasqua from now on - much better range of blue-pinks.
The texture is lovely though and it's very pigmented and blendable. But the thing that impressed me most about it was the staying power. I tested it just before going swimming (in a chlorinated pool) and was amazed that it was still on my face when I got out (I do put my head under in case you were wondering!). Obviously if you rubbed your face it would probably come off, but that's not bad going.

NC40 right here. This blush is so flattering year round but absolutely stunning during the spring time! It looks like a shocking bright pink in the pan but fear not, its very wearable the key is to use a strippling brush( very important brush with any nars blush !!) This blush gives you a very believable flush of color like a little dolls blush :) if you will. I couldnt imagine this color looking bad on anybody but if you overapply you *will* look like a clown! Very pigmented and best staying -power of any blushes Ive ever owned .. NARS rules with their blushes
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This blush is very flattering on my NC25 skin. Its a perfect fuschia color and applies beautifully. Recommend it.
I love this blush, it is such a fun color in the pan, a fuscia pink, so it called to me upon first sight, although I did steer away from it since I own sooo many blushes including MAC Dollymix, MAC Pink Swoon and ELF Pink Passion to name a few. This is somehow different though, it is very light in application and I don't even use a 187 brush for it, I am NC35 for reference. It is just gorgeous! It is not powdery at all! So you pay for quality with this. Now don't get me wrong I love my ELF Pink Passion, so if you don't want to spend the money only this and want a pretty pink cheek I suggest going the cheaper route, however it is NOT a dupe for NARS Desire. I would say MAC Pink Swoon is closer to ELF. I think this also would flatter most skin tones very well. ;)
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
In the pan, this blush is positively terrifying! I got this in a swap and wasn't anticipating it to be so neon. Thankfully, when applied properly, this gives a lovely, surprisingly natural looking flush to my cheeks. As with all NARS blushes, it is extremely pigmented so you must use a light hand to ensure you don't look like a clown. I personally tap a duo fibre brush into the pan and stipple it on very lightly and this provides a perfect application. I'd happily buy this again, but I doubt I'll ever run out as you only need a very tiny amount each time!

Welcome to another edition of "Well, I Was Wrong" where I look at the how the weekend's events changed the hockey landscape, and in turn, proved some pre-concieved notions of mine wrong.
Nothing like highlighting the idiocy of your website's editor for credibility.
Well, I was wrong. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins may not see a sharp decline in production
The way I saw things after nine games was that RNH's production (9 points in 9 games) was skewed by one huge outing. He had a number of games where he didn't touch the scoresheet, and being that big multi-point games like that are tough to come by and relatively rare, his numbers would start back-tracking shortly.
Well, the little SOB did it again, tallying FIVE assists against the Chicago Blackhawks, pushing his totals to 19 points in 19 games. I did not see that coming.
Well, I was wrong. The Minnesota Wild haven't fallen off the map in the Western Conference
Twitter-homie Dave Lozo does the power rankings for NHL.com, and he has the Wild at 2nd in the NHL as of today. It's tough to tell him he's wrong on this one, as much as I'd enjoy doing that.
They sit atop the Western Conference standings with a 12-5-3 record, they've won four straight games, and are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games.
And, they're doing it without anything overwhelmingly exceptional from their new additions, Heatley and Setoguchi.
While I'm still not fully convinced they're for real, I definitely didn't see them ever owning top spot in the West.
Well, I was wrong. The Washington Capitals aren't some unstoppable force
It's strange to think that at the start of the season the question on a gambling site (Bodog) was "when will the Capitals finally lose a game," and I took their 11th. They looked like world-beaters.
They had made a major upgrade in net. Their stars were in their primes. They'd added a nice level of grit to the roster. They had talent on their backend.
Now they've lost seven of their last 11 games, sit 9th in the East and have their work cut out for them.
I certainly think they'll figure it out and be a home-ice team in playoffs, but man. I thought they were something special.
And finally…
Well, I was wrong. I didn't think the League's top 5 goalies would be this crew
Like most people, I just assumed we'd check the list of leaders and see your usual guys. Your Lundqvists, your Rinnes, your Millers, and so on. In terms of save percentage, your top 5 guys are….
1. Brian Elliot (.947%)
2. Josh Harding (.945%)
3. Nikolai Khabibulin (.938%)
4. Mike Smith (.935%)
5. Niklas Backstrom (.935%)
Er…. what now? I don't think anybody thought we'd be here at this point of the season. Time to expect some regression from these guys (as the gambling wheels start turning in my brain)?
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go be wrong some more, but this time with my money.

After ongoing problems at Louisville Metro Animal Services, interim Director Wayne Zelinsky resigned effectively immediately this morning.
Debbie Fox, Deputy Director of MetroSafe, has been named the new interim director of Louisville Metro Animal Services by Mayor Greg Fischer following Zelinsky's departure.
"Debbie is a solid leader who has been nationally recognized and has a proven track record in customer service," Fischer said in a press release. "I'm confident that she will effectively manage Animal Services during this transition period."
Zelinsky served as LMAS' interim director for just over a year, following the resignation of former director Gilles Meloche on Dec. 31, 2009. Both have been named defendants in sexual harassment lawsuits filed by former employees.
After LEO Weekly and other media outlets reported on worsening conditions and mismanagement at LMAS' Manslick Road shelter since Zelinsky came to power, the Fischer administration announced a review of the city agency at a Jan. 7 press conference — as well as inexplicable plans to retain Zelinsky until a new full-time director could be chosen.
At the January press conference, LEO Weekly asked the mayor why not fire Zelinsky immediately and replace him with an" interim-interim director."
"You mean, like a double-secret interim interim director?" Fischer joked. "We want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt on any type of employee review."
When pressed further on the question, Fischer said, "Well, again: this is my fifth day as mayor … Sadiqa will be running that."
More details to come following a 1 p.m. press conference, which will be livestreamed.
UPDATE: After countless stories of managerial ineptitude, wanton animal slaughter and , the resignation of Zelinsky apparently came down to the fact that the outgoing interim director operates an escort service, Derby City VIP, news of which first broke on The Ville Voice less than 24 hours ago.
"We advised Wayne last night that we were aware of a website that he had up and running, and we discussed that with him and he came in this morning and resigned," Fischer said at the press conference, held in Metro Hall this afternoon. "The point is that he is running an operation outside of what his normal, day-to-day operation is. We just brought it to his attention and we told him we need to discuss it with him and he decided to resign."
According its website (which has since been taken down), Derby City VIP offered guidance on Louisville's best strip clubs, security details and other escort services.
As the press conference waned on, so too did Fischer's countenance: The fledgling mayor became so visibly spooked by the incessant questioning from the media that it seems as though he forgot to introduce Fox, who stood nearby, presumably waiting for an introduction to the throng of reporters that never happened.
In the meantime, Fischer's Chief of Community Building, Judge Sadiqa Reynolds, will continue her top-to-bottom audit of LMAS.
Applications for LMAS' full-time director will be taken until Feb. 13, and a new director will be named as early as April.
We'll update again once we get Zelinsky's resignation letter.
UPDATE #2: Here's the full text of Zelinsky's terse resignation letter, which was submitted to Reynolds:
Dear Ms. Reynolds,
Please accept this letter as my two week notice, resigning as Interim Director of Metro Animal Services effective 2/16/2011. Thank you for the opportunity to serve within Louisville Metro Government.
Wayne Zelinsky

Back To The Future: DVF Designs 80's-Inspired Shield Frames For Google Glass
Google has released photos of their latest effort in the war against fashion designers who seriously hate Google Glass. They announced in the middle of the night that as of June 23, you'll be able to buy shades and frames for Google Glass designed by Diane von Fürstenberg. The new line will be available through the Glass website and luxury online retailer NET-A-PORTER.
This announcement follows the January release of their Titanium Collection and their recent plans to collaborate with Oakley and Ray-Ban. DVF told Betabeat that they're waiting until their 2014 Resort Show to say more about the collaboration, but The Verge is reporting that the Glass by DVF will cost $1,620 — or $120 more than usual.

PETA opens up over its dairy standards |
News - Latest | ||||||
Written by PD Editor Karen Lee | ||||||
Thursday, 05 May 2011 16:09 | ||||||
Last month PETA took aim at the dairy industry. On the heels of Mercy for Animals' footage of animal abuse on a Texas calf ranch, the activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) released its own set of standards of care for animals raised on dairy farms. Based on comments received on the news release regarding the standards, not everyone agrees with PETA's position. Click here to read the comments. After a number of dairy animal abuse videos have been released, including one produced by PETA, the activist group decided something needed to be done about dairy. "There really is no national standard to prevent the worst abuses dairy farmed cows suffer on factory farms. Based on new video footage of animal cruelty and what we've seen over and over again on dairy factory farms, Americans are outraged," Driscoll said. "The dairy industry must act swiftly to stop the most extreme suffering of cows and calves by implementing PETA's basic reforms." PETA's new standards of care for dairy animals include: • Keeping facilities clean and providing adequate flooring, hoof care, and bedding. • Immediately euthanizing "downed" cows. • Ending the practice of de-horning and tail-docking. • Banning the use of bovine growth hormone, which contributes to lameness and a painful inflammation. • Providing group housing for female calves, without tethering. According to Driscoll, these standards were developed with input from animal welfare experts and the dairy industry itself, namely the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP). PD Look for the "3 open minutes" interview with Driscoll in the May 21 issue of Progressive Dairyman.

Nude girl doing a split while getting her pussy fucked
Check out this nude girl showing off her flexing talents while doing the splits and getting her pussy fucked. At first standing on the balcony the girl does a number of flexible poses in front of a beautiful background. This girl is really quite flexible. Her poses are really beautiful with her legs split super wide open while she does some stretching and shows off how flexible she is. This is mostly all sexy legs ogling with lots of super flexible posing. She has a gymnast's body, long legs and a firm butt. Ethereal goddess gets fucked and finishes her lover off with a handjob! This ethereal goddess is admiring the view from the rooftop patio in her flowing white dress and waiting for her lover to arrive, it's been too long since that last time she felt his lips pressed against hers, his chest against her tits and his hard cock inside her pussy! She raises a leg and holds it against the window sill as she eats her out, sinking his smooth tongue into her wet gash and exploring her pink insides. She is so wet and hot. Her lover plays with her pussy and licks her clit while she is doing the split. After finger fucking her they both strip totally naked and he penetrates her in that same standing position against the window sill. Nude girl can hardly balance herself on one leg, trying hard not to lose her concentration, and having that delicious dick fucking her so good makes it all so harder! I think she feels his dick even better doing the split. He fucks her standing from behind and she leans against the bed's headrest and strokes his throbbing cock. After such a great fuck nude girl just loves finishing him off with a handjob, stroking and jerking his rod until he blows his load and splatters creamy semen all over her belly and her tits.

Canadian Rocky Mound ends
Shoot location: Banff National Park, Canada. Travel Channel meets InTheCrack Through the whole video you see beautiful mountain scenery and trees and cars whizzing by outside the windows. I think what makes Lexa so perfect is that besides her flawless ass, she appears to have a lovely personality to match it. Her positive attitude (towards doing a strip-tease in a moving SUV in the Canadian Rockies, no less) is a pleasure to see. Lexa has a quick stroll beside a beautiful mountain lake before proceeding to the vehicle. She does a little strip tease in the back seat of the car stripping down to her lingerie. She soon climbs into the back of the car and makes herself a make shift bed where she teases with the tiny thong barely covering anything in her crack. Then naked, there's lots of rolling around on the red comforter with plenty revealing positions showing her curvy undercarriage out in the open. There's a few light hearted giggly moments though the content is mostly lots of nude pussy and ass ogling. (CLICK PHOTO TO OPEN GALLERY)
Naked girls having fun in the bathroom
My today's post is proof that every man's fantasy is happening when girls go to the bathroom together. Especially if these girls are super sexy college cuties. It isn't clear exactly what motivated one of GF Revenge submitter to send in this video, but one thing is for sure, she has some smoking hot friends that pissed her off just enough for us to receive this incredible clip. It starts off with a lengthy stripping session in the restroom with some very nice kissing, then it moves on to the hot tub where things get really crazy. Four hot college girls play around in the bathroom in their undies, then the panties come off and you see four naked girls licking their juicy tits. The mood is mostly fun filled as the four girls generally have a good time with lots of witty casual banter and humor. One of the girls gets up on the bathroom counter and receives a sexy little pussy licking, not forgetting to rub her full erect nipple. Very natural and very sexy, and that sexy laugh. After a while flips over onto all fours with her ass in the air for the rest of this scene and her roommate gives her pussy and anus a good working over with her tongue.

A Kayden Kross New Model. Kayden's strip tease video focuses first on her pretty face with some extended close up face shots while she flirts with the camera. Then it is mostly all open ass views with her panties pulled aside first standing and then bending over with her ass in your face. After an extended session of enthusiastic pussy rubbing she calms down and just spreads her ass and pussy while still lying on her side. There's some crystal clear close up views of her anus with a little bit anus muscle flexing enhancing the view. She also gets on her knees with her ass in the air and continues to dabble her finger in her ass hole. She eventually starts rubbing her pussy at the same time and builds up a little bit of excitement.
Clitoris close up
Clitoris close up. Now that she is naked we spend a good long time just soaking in her fabulous pussy and ass while she spreads everything open standing over your face. There's a plethora of gorgeous spread ass crack views along with a mixture of quite a few spread pussy views and a little bit of ass bouncing as well. Debbie gets her pussy open wide prying it open with her fingers. It's mostly close up inside views but there's also a very nice full body view at the end as she licks her fingers.

Next Celina masturbates with just her fingers for a while before moving on to a vibrator which she mostly just rubs on her clit.
Looking somewhat demure and charming in her jean miniskirt Debbie sits with her legs crossed while caressing her beautiful legs and giving you occasional glimpses up her skirt. Now that she is naked we spend a good long time just soaking in her fabulous pussy and ass while she spreads everything open standing over your face. This is non stop finger masturbation from beginning to end with a mixture of bend over posses and sitting with legs spread posses. The action is relatively modest though the views and eye candy on display are really spectacular. Debbie gets her pussy open wide prying it open with her fingers. It's mostly close up inside views but there's also a very nice full body view at the end as she licks her fingers.

The Masturbation graduates now to a black and white vibrator which she works her pussy with, mostly just on the clitoris, and gradually builds up to a nice gooey orgasm. There's a beautiful big gob of clear pussy goo that seeps from her vagina as she reaches her orgasm and then she wipes it away and it strings out from her fingers.

(WESH) It was 21-year-old Brittney Ballinger's second time closing up the Subway store she works at in Holly Hill, Florida.
Just minutes before closing time Sunday night, she endured some terrifying moments.
An armed robber, clad in spandex from head to toe, burst in and attacked her, hitting her in the head with his gun.
"I heard the door go off, and I was like, 'Welcome to Subway,'" she recounted.
Her corporate greeting was wasted on the robber, who stormed the store, jumped the counter and manhandled her.
"He came up behind me and pushed me, and I hit the ground. I got up, went to go turn around and say, 'What the hell?' and that's when I got hit with the gun," she said.
Surveillance from two different angles shows the violence. He pushed, hit and threw Ballinger in his hunt for all the money from the register and then the drop box.
Ballinger said she has no idea what he said.
"I don't really remember. All I know was I took a beating, and I gave him the money and he was gone," she said.
The robber stepped on Ballinger to make his escape. She collapsed, in tears and shaking, and then called 911.
"I've just been robbed, um, at the Subway," she told the dispatcher. "He told me to open the cash register, and I opened the cash register."
An employee from a neighboring business briefly chased the suspect and got a glimpse as he pulled off his mask to run.
Authorities describe the suspect as a black male, about 6 feet tall with an athletic build.
They are hoping someone will recognize the spandex suit or the man's mannerisms.

Credit Suisse. Earnings. Not so great. Net income CHF 768 vs 1bn estimates, investment bank net revenues down 31% y-o-y and 43% q-o-q. Like its next-door neighbor gnomes, CS is most saddened and disappointed by the efforts of its investment bank. Wall Street analysts are pretty bummed too:
"The investment bank is a catastrophe," said Dirk Becker, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Kepler Capital Markets who put the stock "under review" today. "After the financial crisis, Credit Suisse expanded the investment bank but then the hoped-for volumes didn't materialize."
Which means that some Credit Suisse bankers will be dematerialized. To the tune of 2,000 layoffs firmwide.
Looks like Layoffs Season 2011 is well underway. So far CS, UBS and of all people GS have announced planned cost-cutting measures and put some numbers (both financial and body-count) around them. We looked at the stats**:
The CS and UBS numbers make sense – the savings per employee are right in the zip code of average annual comp (based on accruals so far / no particular reason to believe these reflect actual expected comp). The GS number seems like an outlier: the savings are 2.5x average employee comp. Three possible explanations:
1. GS's projected savings come from "comp and non-comp" expenses, so perhaps much of those savings are driven by cup rather than personnel downsizing
2. Maybe GS's savings are coming disproportionately from cutting the heavy hitters, and the junior mistmakers will be spared this round.
3. Or maybe 1,000 layoffs at GS is a little conservative?
** Based on public filings. All of GS is treated as investment bank. UBS "personnel expenses" include minor non-comp expenses.

UBS paying more annualized comp than GS. attaboy
these posts. my mind. hurt
Goldman is a relatively smaller company than the other two if I'm not mistaken. So wouldn't cutting a similar amount of people at a smaller firm u00a0have a larger impact?u00a0
look at it per employee, dumbass
I thought the whole point of Matt coming to work at Dealbreaker was so that he could nn-stop looking through filingsn-write funny stuffnnthis post is fail on both counts. go back to banking
At first, I also found it curious given the "talent caliber." But then, I realized even the mentally challenged don't like staying in a festering cesspool.
Are you a riTard or something? nn- Alan
exactly! nn-Kouwe
GS headcount at the end of 2006 was 26,467.u00a0 Quite frankly I'm surprised it is as high as 35k now.u00a0 Some of it can be chalked up to absorbing acquired lines of business and supporting their new incarnation as a bank, but still…
Sorry, I was only attracted to the highlighted area at the bottomnn-Former Lehman Quant

Bringing lower-cost contractors onto the payroll reduces your reported compensation per employee and also lowers non-compensation costs, both of which look good under the circumstances.
look, if you spend years working on excel for at least 10 hours a day 5 days a week you have a hard time letting go.u00a0

New Mexico Supreme Court to hear arguments on gay marriage
Santa Fe, NM (KDBC) — The New Mexico Supreme Court is set to take up the state's same sex marriage debate on Wednesday. Eight counties now allow it.
A ruling Wednesday could legalize same sex marriage in all of the state's 33 counties.
Gay marriage became a hot button issue in August after Dona Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Seven other counties followed suit.
New Mexico law doesn't explicitly authorize or prohibit gay marriage, but its expected the court's ruling will change that.

I purchased a couple of Ogon redwoods from the Habitat for Humanity Reuse store, they are both really healthy looking and have long leaders. The problem is one of my leaders is bent almost to the ground. It has only been in the ground for three days, but it looks kind of sad. It is already showing healthy buds of new growth. Will it lift it's leader on its own or do I need to stake it? If so, how do I do that without harming the tree? I can post a picture tomorrow if I need to. (too dark tonight!)
I've never had a redwood. I'm a gardening novice, really, but at $8 for a seven foot leader, I couldn't resist the beautiful foliage. Thanks!

Hi Ashley. If by that ^ you mean you got a 7 ft. dawn redwood, "Ogon" cultivar for 8 bucks, indeed a good buy. We'll have to see a pic to figure out what to tell you next! +oM |
Ashley, Did you purchase the one with the leader already bent to the ground growing that way? Or is the leader disproportionately to tall and thin to support itself. In any case you need to stake to get it vertical. If growing that way it could be a challenge to get it vertical. We will need to see a photo. If to week to stand on its own drive a narrow stake next to the trunk and secure the leader to it. Buy the stretch tape and narrow aluminum stake at your local nursery. The stakes come in different lengths. Something seems amiss. I have never observed this tree with a leader to weak to stand on its own. Possibly grown in crowded conditions with not enough sun light along with nutrient deficient soil as contributing factors. Dave |
Dave, I just bought one a couple of months ago and when small they do droop...at least all of the 8-10 of the same size the nursery had were all staked to prevent drooping. (From Iseli, I'm fairly sure). Once again, the deer simply cannot resist anything I plant on my berm. I sprayed everything with an egg, pepper, soap and water concoction and I think I missed the 'Ogon' and that made it a tempting target. I'm hoping that since it is close to the end of the season it will just go dormant and survive. Jon |

really need a pic of OP's plant... for any real useful answers ... i wonder how big the pot was ... 8 bucks for a 7 foot $300 plant is.. indeed a bargain if a mis-type.. 7 inches.. do what johnny did .. if 7 footer.. who knows.. ken |
My Ogon is 33 inches tall and was $39 which is about the going price around here. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Sun, Sep 30, 12 at 0:05
It grows thin and fast for me in a fair amount of sun so I understand the desire to stake. This tree really grows and at any price for an 8 footer there is money to be made. I gotta get a grafting or rooting mine! Think mine was $30 something for 30 or so inches a few years back. Looked like a branch off a regular metasequoia for a year or so and has really taken off. |

Morgantown hugs the Pennsylvania border along the picturesque Monongahela River. Farther southeast, toward the Allegheny Mountains, Cheat River draws outdoor enthusiasts with its springtime whitewater rafting. Those interested in a more peaceful communion with nature can hike along Caperton Trail, which passes a vintage train depot and heads into historical downtown Morgantown.Home of West Virginia University, downtown Morgantown blends the dynamism of a university town with rustic, small-town charm. Along Main Street, antique shops, art galleries, and boutiques now occupy late 19th-century Victorian buildings. Decadent chocolates take center stage on April 14 for Chocolate Lovers' Day, when the downtown area teems with dessert samples and the Monongahela is drained and filled with liquefied chocolate.
Draped over the verdant Washington County countryside, Fort Cherry Golf Club's 18-hole course spans 6,205 yards of rolling, player-friendly terrain. The course's relatively open layout invites players to blast tee shots with their drivers or T-shirt cannons at nearly every non-par 3, as sparse tree lines offer little impediment to shots that find the rough, and the course's multiple sand bunkers loom by the greens—not the fairways. An adjacent driving range loosens up swings to perfection, and a practice green sharpens up putting strokes and helps players get a feel for how to read the course's subtle slopes and metaphorical flagsticks. With its own motel and a gourmet bar and restaurant, the club hosts all-day and overnight golf-outing packages for a restful pin-hunting vacation.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Length of 6,205 yards from farthest tees * Course rating of 69.6 from farthest tees * Slope rating of 122 from farthest tees * Four tee options
Staffed by experienced coaches and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTec's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display to get results. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTec's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green.
Set on the rolling wooded banks of the Youghiogheny River, Butler's Golf Course has been challenging golfers for more than 80 years with two 18-hole courses. The 6,314-yard Woodside course cushions golf shoes in a gently rolling terrain, and the 6,689-yard Lakeside course grants sweeping views of the adjacent valley and a few blind shots. Both par 72 courses can be enjoyed from the seat of a conveniently motorized golf cart, which transports golfers and their gear between holes, around scattered hillocks, and across the line in tense photo finishes.
Designed by Mark Ormison in 1897, the fairways of Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park sprawl over 51 acres and invite linksmen to frolic among foliage that has been flourishing for more than a century, while also gazing out on metropolitan views. Players find themselves challenged right from the get-go with a second hole that is also the toughest, but can strive for birdies at holes 8 and 17 to recover. At the 11th hole, golfers encounter a quirky rectangular green, whose geometric origins are likely found in a house having occupied the space long ago. The course is managed by the local charity The First Tee Pittsburgh, which strives to encourage good character, values, and healthy life choices in children through the game of golf, and proceeds from the course benefit its programs.
Before hitting the course, players can hone their form at the course's driving range in good weather, take lessons with a Class A PGA professional, or strengthen their swings at the Full Swing simulator, which tracks ball flight, speed, and distance in real time. The simulator offers high-definition projections of more than 35 notable courses, including Pebble Beach, Oakmont Country Club, Pinehurst Country Club, and Harbour Town Golf Links, and lets golfers sharpen their swings in the dead of winter without fear of losing a limb to frostbite or abominable ground squirrels.
Course at a Glance:
A sprawling, 32-acre sports metropolis set on the Ohio River?s Neville Island, RMU Island Sports Center?s multipurpose facilities encompass activities from ice-skating to miniature golf. An indoor, 42-tee driving range throughout most of the day, the 100-yard field and domed, 75-foot high ceilings of the Golf and Sports Dome house baseball, softball, kickball, and flag football events by night before hosting after-hours singles parties for terrestrial blue whales. Adjacent to the dome, clients can execute graceful pirouettes or high-speed slap shots at the skating rink, which offers hockey leagues and lessons, figure skating programs, and public skate sessions. To fully immerse themselves in the Center?s scenic location, guests can catch riverside breezes at the RMU Island Rapids Miniature Golf Course, where golfers must contend with subtle slopes, two waterfalls, and heckling barnacles as they steer orbs through the immaculate 18-hole putters park.
