Don't be ridiculous: This isn't the Buffs' celebrity drillmaster, Gary Barnett, who is kept hidden behind Byzantine layers of football assistants, media officers and institutional importance. That's not the style of Mark Wetmore, the wisecracking, ponytailed New Jersey native who guides the university's top-ranked, defending-champion cross-country team. The CU football team's every move might be analyzed as closely as an Alan Greenspan facial tic, but if you really want real athletic drama and brilliance, Wetmore's is the team to watch.
You wouldn't know it from the crowds, of course. On the same day the gridiron Buffs were hand-delivering their claim for a national title to cross-state rivals CSU in front of 70,000 fans, the university's runners were kicking off their season with a time trial observed by fifty or so die-hard followers. Following a tradition that most college football squads would find baffling, the team's veterans slowed down at the end of the run and allowed a newcomer -- a walk-on freshman from California named Casey Burchill -- to win the race.
As good as Burchill is, it's unlikely that he'll see the tape again this year. The CU runners, who edged Stanford by a history-making single point at last year's NCAA finals, are returning three of the nation's best. And as recently as last week, the number of bona fide stars was four. A day after the time trial, though, Dathan Ritzenheim, a wispy, adolescent-looking sophomore who is probably the best distance runner to come out of an American high school since Dean, Liddy and Haldeman played front line for Nixon, announced he had suffered a season-ending leg injury.
Ritzenheim, who last year finished a remarkable fourth in the NCAA cross-country finals as a freshman, was heavily recruited out of high school by running factories Michigan and Oregon. Yet he says he was drawn to Boulder instead by the team's tight-knit and easygoing upperclassmen. "The guys -- not so much as a team, but as people -- were awesome," he says. "It was an easy decision."
That cohesiveness was demonstrated right away when Ritzenheim was invited to live in the Fight Club, a sprawling six-bedroom pad badly in need of landscaping work perched on the edge of Boulder Canyon. The house has served as the unofficial headquarters of the cross-country team's talent core ever since it was purchased three years ago for that purpose by the Torres twins.
The Torres brothers, of course, would be Jorge and Edwardo, the heart of the Colorado harriers and the primary reason the Buffs are favored to win it all again. Born ten minutes apart, the two had been tearing up cross-country courses across the Midwest for a half-dozen years before moving to the Rocky Mountains. "They're two guys who simply have a love for running," says Wheeling (Illinois) High School cross-country coach Mark Saylor. "That's all they ever wanted to do."
The youngest of five sons of a suburban Chicago jeweler, the boys grew up quickly, drawn into the family business at an early age. Jorge began competitive running in sixth grade -- not long before he fired his first employee, at age thirteen. "I asked my brother Dan what I should do for a sport," he recalls, "and he suggested cross-country." The twins seldom did anything without the other, and Edwardo began running after his brother.
Running didn't agree with Jorge at first. "I would go to practice every other day, cut courses," he remembers. In retrospect, he says it was no surprise when his junior high school coach cut him from the state team. "But that pissed me off," he says. That winter, he ran and ran. The following year, he won a national title for junior high students, and, with very few exceptions, he hasn't had to follow another runner since.
Anger has always worked well for Jorge. After placing second in the Illinois state championships his freshman year, he vowed to win it the next time around, and he did. And then did it twice more for good measure. Along the way, he became the first schoolboy runner ever to qualify for four straight annual Foot Locker national championship races, the last of which, in 1998, he won, setting a course record.
Saylor says that in addition to Jorge's being born to run, his drive made him a coach's dream. "He just wanted to be so good that it didn't take much to work with him. Some other kids complain: 'It's too hot; I'm tired; I don't want to run fast today.' With Jorge, it was always, 'Okay, now what?'"
Colorado has enjoyed a reputation as a runner's haven for more than a decade. With so many top runners deciding to call Boulder home -- Frank Shorter and Mark Plaatjes, to name two -- Wetmore points out that "there's no better place to be a distance runner than Boulder." The university's program, too, has built itself by accumulation, one fast runner at a time. The Torres brothers had heard of Steve Slattery, now a four-time All-American track athlete, so they decided to check out CU. Ritzenheim, in turn, knew of the Torreses: "Having them here was a big draw for me."

Something different to try...wish we were going during that time! Maybe it will catch on and they will offer it more frequently!?!
Why is this only a temporary table service?
I have yet to eat here because it is ALWAYS closed when I go.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
That's true...same with me! I think that I have seen it open once and we already had reservations for another restaurant!Originally Posted by MandaBella
They are doing it as a test, if demand is high enough it will probably open full-time! I plan on telling as many guests as possible about it.
Hey WDW, how about re-opening the Adventureland Veranda?

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
You know the bag. The chocolate-brown leather canvas emblazoned with quatrefoils and the LV monogram is immediately recognizable as the international symbol of globetrotting luxury. The Louis Vuitton brand is the most valuable brand in luxury, according to a new study from Millward Brown. But in a world with knock offs on street tables from New York to New Dehli and rappers like Kanye West pronouncing himself the "Louis Vuitton don," how does the world's most famous luxury brand protect its image?

I just picked up and couple bottles of the liquid 5-1-1 version, they changed the label stating its not recommended for organic gardening.
what happened? It used to be 100% organic? could it be due to the high levels of metals that are in the fish now a days? |

Looking at the Lilly Miller site, maybe the deodorization process makes it less than all natural. The all natural products that they have all say "low odor" rather than deodorized. It appears that most of what they sell is still considered acceptable for organic growing. Harry |

For immediate release Friday, May 21, 2010. Contact Bob Brammer, Iowa Attorney Generals Office 515-281-6699, email@example.com
The Attorney General's Office filed formal criminal charges Friday in Black Hawk County District Court alleging that nine persons committed one or more counts of tampering with records related to Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls.
The formal charges, called a "Trial Information," follow criminal Complaints and Affidavits filed April 7 against the same nine defendants with the same allegations. [Go to Trial Information documents filed May 21, 2010.]
The Complaints filed in April alleged defendants tampered with records who used false addresses as they registered a child for the 2007-8 or 2008-9 school year.
District Court Judge James Coil set an arraignment date of June 4 for all defendants. He continued the defendants' status of being released on their own recognizance.
Defendants named in the Trial Informations filed Friday, and the number of counts alleged of tampering with records, are: Angela Bigelow, Cedar Falls, one count; Connie Bigelow, Cedar Falls, one count; Kerry Burt, Waterloo, two counts; Flora Dekock, Cedar Falls, one count; Kristi Eastman, Waterloo, three counts; Todd Eastman, Waterloo, three counts; Angie Gilbert, Waterloo, three counts; Stephanie Hovey, Cedar Falls, one count; Cheryl Longnecker, Cedar Falls, one count.
Tampering with records is an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of $625 to $6250.
The Complaints and Affidavits filed in April alleged that parents of Price Laboratory School students listed false addresses on school records to indicate their children lived in the Price Lab School zone when in fact the pupils lived elsewhere in Cedar Falls or Waterloo and not in the Price Lab School zone. The Complaints and Affidavits said students registered as living in the Price Lab School "residential or buffer zone" were charged much lower fees than students who lived outside the zone.
Go to www.state.ia.us/government/ag/latest_news/releases/apr_2010/Price_Lab.html for details and documents of the April 7 Complaint and Affidavit filings. Go to www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.gov for the May 21 Trial Informations.
The Iowa Attorney General's Office is serving in the role of prosecutor in the matter, at the request of the Black Hawk County Attorney.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Lost in Translation: Marketers lose trillions in sales due to website translation
A $30 trillion internet sales black hole is being lost in translation because marketers in the United Kingdom are not localising their websites for different countries. In the past two years the economic potential of making money online has grown from $36.5 to $44.6 trillion.
However, just one third of that figure is available if websites are only available in English. And that figure is even less with websites solely in languages not as widely used as English – for example Portuguese, Russian or Japanese. This leaves $30 trillion in potential untapped sales which businesses across the United Kingdom could be cashing in on.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Averett Gets Donation, Officials Hope to Start Nursing Program
October 12, 2011
WSET.com Ch. 13 Reporter: Heather Rosenbaum Danville, VA - Tobacco Commission gave Averett University $300,000, and university officials say they want to use it to start a nursing program. "We needed to raise $2.5 million to get this initiative off the ground, and with this $300,000 grant, we are at $2.1 million," said Buddy Rawley, vice president for Institutional Advancement. But this particular contribution from the Virginia Tobacco Commission has deeper significance. "This is our first ever grant at Averett from the Virginia Tobacco Commission," said Rawley. "It fits very nicely with our regional scholarship programs so residents of the region can use our scholarship money to attend Averett to advance their careers in healthcare," said Tim Pfohl, director of Grant Programs for Tobacco Commission. Averett officials established a partnership with the Danville Regional Medical Center to institute a nursing program, anticipating enrollment by summer. "We will have a building downtown in our Riverview Campus on Bridge Street, which ironically was an old tobacco boardroom," said Rawley. With these new funds, Averett plans on purchasing a top-of-the-line simulation system. "Helps the students practice without the fear of hurting somebody," said Dr. Mary Condon, associate professor of nursing at Averett. The Tobacco Commission hopes their grant will run further than the University. "We are hopeful that over time this will produce a significant number of nursing graduates that will have opportunities for employment right in Danville," said Pfohl. The Commission also donated to several other colleges and universities, including Danville Community College, which received $380,000 for scholarships and training.

Who does not love a good apple? I was first introduced to apples in salads by my godmother who put chopped apples in her salads. From there I began putting them in tuna fish and meat loaf. It is an amazing way to get fruit into children and non-fruit lovers without them even realizing it. Apples can be used from appetizers through entrees and finished with a delicious apple pie or tart. They are also a great snack with cheese after school or work. There are so many varieties to choose from – Granny Smith for tart to Pink Lady for sweet. So enjoy my latest cookbook.

My legacy to my mother is the line of foods and books in her memory.

2011: Protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's government erupt throughout Egypt, with tens of thousands of protesters gathering in Cairo and thousands more in cities throughout Egypt. The protests mostly adhere to non-violence, although there are some reports of civilian and police casualties. The protests would spur an even bigger movement over the next few weeks, with a series of street demonstrations, marches, rallies, acts of civil disobedience, riots, labor strikes and violent clashes seen in Cairo, Alexandria, and throughout other cities in the country. Mubarak would eventually step down on Feb. 11, 2011, with elections in June 2012, picking Islamist Mohammed Morsi as Egypt's new president.

WRITTEN BY REBECCA TEAGARDEN Kevin Kent | Mabel, Teatro ZinZanni hostess with the mostest
Q: What's your best host/hostess tip? Mabel: I say a big smile, no matter what happens. Kevin: Come late. Leave early. Bring a gift. Q: What's your favorite champagne? M: Oh gosh, there's a champagne that's the name of a woman, Louise. Oh, the bubbles are tiny, and the taste is sweet. I've often thought of myself as a bubble in champagne, but, I tell ya, the glass would overflow. Big girl, big bubble. K: It actually is a champagne called Louis Roederer. But Mabel always calls it Louise. She thinks it's better if it's named after a woman. Q: How do you pamper yourself? M: Rotisserie by poolside, and a boy to turn it. K: Quiet time in New Mexico, emphasis on quiet. Q: How does one be the perfect dinner guest? M: Eat everything in sight, burp and thank them. That would be a burp with meaning, a full-belly burp. K: Offer to help out in the kitchen. Q: Do you have a really good, yet gracious, rebuff for an obnoxious guest? Something Miss Manners would approve of? M: Get off me! Now kiss me! K: I probably wouldn't invite them in the first place. Q: What one thing can you not live without? M: There are about 130 things I can't live without, but top of the list is my tent, TZ. K: Mabel. Q: Do you have one important fashion tip? M: Sparkle. K: High waters are OK. Q: Do you have a skincare/beauty tip? M: There's a little German regimen that I use. It involves sandpaper and lard. K: I actually do use a German product, Dr. Hauschka. And it costs an arm and a leg. When I first started doing the show, my skin reacted strangely due to all the makeup all the time. I got a facial, and the woman who did it recommended it. Since then, I've told other drag queens about it and they use it religiously. Q: What is the biggest difference between Kevin and Mabel? M: She's loud and big, and he's quiet and small. K: Boy, girl. Q: Mabel: Are those yours? M: Of course! Who else's would they be? K: They are! Very often sitting on a shelf, but they belong to me. Anything you can hold in your hand is real. |

I don't know when this product was introd.. but I saw it and bought it -- two in fact. ..it is a color packed fuschia with lovely undertones of purple.
delectable and it makes your lips look brilliantly beautiful.
I posted a swatch above. Magnetique is one of my favorites. Its a pinky lilac color. It reminds me of Odyssey the lipstick by Mac. It is very pigmented and looks great on me, my skin is nc50, for ref .

Why can't Mac make all their lip glasses this pigmented. This lip glass is amazing with excellent color pay off and last forever. I wear it with Gladiola and Show orchid.
More reviews by Naturalchick27
I bought this after I purchased Gladiola lipstick. I love, love love this lipglass. I wish all lipglass was this pigmented. On me it is a bright fushia/magenta. It goes perfect with Gladiola and maybe even Show Orchid. This is the perfect shade for us warm girls who have a hard time pulling off fushia lip colors.
This is quite a bright fuschia pink lip gloss. I like the texture, the pigmentation, the scent (sort of vanilla-ish), the lack of big glitter...but the colour is way too bright for me. This came in a set of 5 minis, which the SA assured me looked good on everyone and wouldn't be as vibrant as they seemed in the tube. Uh, yeah...they are. I think maybe 1 of the colours suited me!
Won't buy this particular colour again, but I'd buy a more flattering shade of Lipglass.
This is such a beautiful color. It's extremly pigmented and lasts forever. Its great with Gladiola lipstick , show orchid and magenta lip liner. They should def make this apart of the regualr line.
More reviews by sweetgardenangel
This super little lip gloss packs a punch of color in strawberry/raspberry hues. It lasts pretty long on me and I love it since it gives lips a shiney, kissable presence! I'd buy more!

Cannot beieve this is LE. So Pissed! This came out with the Rose Romance collection and is a surprisingly wearable shade on my NW45 skintone. It is a purple with bluish shimmer but on my lips it looks like a purple/pink with silver shimmer. Absolutely beautiful. I got this from a lovely swapper and am perfectly content. Sometimes I wear only this on a no makeup day to give me some glamour. Works like a charm.
I got this to go over lippies to give them *umph*! I am not sure I could pull this off on it's own, or even want to. You can use this over reds, mauves, plum lipsticks. I just pit little dots on my lips and spread around because I don' t want it to be over the top, just pretty, plump looking, juicy lips. I wear this over Party Line and it's so cute.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is definitely not for the colour-shy!!! It is a very pigmented hot pink/mauve lipgloss with no shimmer that gives you a very sophisticated, polished look. No need for a lipstick underneath. Staying power is really great, as it is quite sticky. I am warm toned and I find that if I pair it with the right ( cool-toned) eyeshadow and blush, I can make it work! Give it a try, if you are up to bold lip colour!

HSBC Women's Champions
Tanah Merah Country Club
Feb. 26, 2012
Final-round notes and interviews
Angela Stanford, -10 * won in playoff
Jenny Shin, -10
Na Yeon Choi, -10
Yani Tseng, -9
Angela Stanford earned her fifth-career LPGA title and added Champion of Champions to her resume with a victory at the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore. She joins a world-class list of past champions that include Lorena Ochoa (2008), Jiyai Shin (2009), Ai Miyazato (2010) and Karrie Webb (2011). "I feel extremely honored to be in that group of golfers and women, and to be the first American to get to win here is pretty special," she said.
Is this the biggest win of Stanford's career? "Well, I haven't won a major yet, so this is the closest thing so far," Stanford said. "The best players in the world are here and they call it Asia's major, so it's the closest thing to me."
Lightning in a bottle. Final-round play at the HSBC Women's Champions was delayed from 3:05 p.m. to 4:39 p.m. because of lightning in the area. A storm cell sat above Tanah Merah Country Club producing rain, loud thunder and multiple lightning strikes nearby. When play resumed, Angela Stanford, Jenny Shin and Katie Futcher were the only group remaining on the golf course. "Honestly, I was just trying to make par because I'm very aware that anything can happen on that hole," Stanford said. "And I didn't. I still made a bogey. You know, the rain delay was tough because you're the only three golfers left, and you know, 18 has always been a tough hole for me, so to sit there and have to wait and you're just looking at it, I mean it's tough because you know it's only going to be three to five more shots.
Third hole is a charm in playoff. What began as a four-player, sudden-death playoff was reduced to a three-player playoff after Shanshan Feng three-putted the first playoff hole. On the second hole, Na Yeon Choi dropped out after missing a four-foot par putt. On the third hole, Jenny Shin lipped out from three feet and Angela Stanford made a four-foot putt that touched most of the cup before falling in.
Shin stays hot. Second-year LPGA player Jenny Shin wasn't able to join the ranks of the Rolex First-Time Winners, but she was able to improve her consecutive top-10 streak to three tournaments. The 19-year-old finished seventh at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, tied for ninth at the Honda LPGA Thailand and tied for second at the HSBC Women's Champions.
Yani Tseng made a charge, but fell short in her bid to win the HSBC Women's Champions. She overcame a three-shot overnight deficit in the first nine holes of play on Sunday, but it wasn't enough
The 23-year-old made five birdies on the front nine to take a share of the lead with Jenny Shin at 11-under-par following a two-putt birdie from 20 feet on No. 9. But the back nine was less kind to Tseng.
Her drive on 10 found a fairway bunker and her approach embedded in the rough short of the green. Following a free drop, she chipped over the green, chipped again to 40 feet, and two-putted for double bogey to drop three shots behind Shin, who made birdie at No. 9 to get to 12-under-par.
Tseng overturned her negative momentum with a birdie at No. 11 and scrambled for par on No. 12 after a poor approach shot short and left of the green. A bogey at the par-3 14th – where she missed the green long -- dropped her to 9-under-par. She narrowly missed a short birdie chip at 15, then put her drive on 16 – playing just 257 yards on Sunday – in the left greenside bunker and failed to land her blast out on the green and left with par.
On 17, she nearly holed out for eagle from the fairway – her ball caught the cup and went to 4-feet – but she missed the putt and her last real chance at winning the tournament.
Golden ticket winners: Angela Stanford, Jenny Shin, and Shanshan Feng punched their "Ticket to CME Group Titleholders" at the HSBC Women's Champions, each earning a spot in the season-ending CME Group Titleholders event, which will be held Nov. 15-18, 2012 at The TwinEagles in Naples, Fla. The second annual CME Group Titleholders is a season finale with a field made up of three qualifiers from every LPGA Tour tournament.
Stanford is going to Canyon Ranch. With her victory at the HSBC Women's Champions, Angela Stanford earned an all-inclusive stay for two at a Canyon Ranch resort. In a combined effort to promote health and overall well-being among Tour players, Canyon Ranch will provide every winner of an LPGA event with one all-inclusive stay at one of Canyon Ranch's two destination resorts.
Karrie Webb on why this year was different than last: "I probably didn't have the comfort on the greens that I did last year and that was probably the key to me winning last year," she said. "Last year, I made a lot of putts and felt like I could make more. This week I just didn't feel like that at all."
Of note… Shanshan Feng fell short in her bid to become the first-ever LPGA winner from Mainland China… Defending champion Karrie Webb shot 2-under-par 70 in the final round to finish the week in a tie for 25th at 1-under-par 287… 2010 HSBC winner Ai Miyazato shot 3-under-par 69 on Sunday to tie for sixth at 7-under-par 281… 2009 HSBC winner Jiyai Shin tied for eighth at 6-under-par 282.
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome 2012 HSBC Women's Champions winner Angela Stanford into the room. First of all, congratulations on your fifth career victory on the LPGA tour.
ANGELA STANFORD: Thank you.
THE MODERATOR: You've had a pretty good run at this event. You've had three previous top 12S, and then you came in today where you had a shot to win, and unable to get it done in regulation, but three playoff holes later you walk away as champion of Champions. So if you would, just take us through your day, some of the emotions you faced and especially the playoff.
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, it was just a long day, you know, and I bogeyed the first hole and Jenny birdied the first hole. You know, just all day I made these amazing par putts. I can't remember what holes now off the top of my head, but the par I made on 7 I thought kept me in the tournament. And it was just one of those days.
And my caddie has been all over me lately about grinding it out. And we talked about it last week when I didn't have a chance to win it, and he was like, well, you might as well work on it, you know. Let's grind away, and he just kept telling me, stay in it, stay in it. So really he deserves a lot of credit, because there was more than one time today I thought I was done. So it was nice to have him out there and keeping me going.
THE MODERATOR: Can you just talk about the opportunities you had to win the golf tournament starting on regulation at 18 and then through the playoff, what kind of -- take us through each of those holes and kind of what you were thinking.
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, 18, I think is -- this 18th hole is one of the toughest we play all year. So you know, I knew -- I mean the hard part is you're hitting it into such a small area with such a long club in your hand. So after sitting through the rain delay and then having that first long putt in regulation, I mean it was going to be tough to judge the speed because you had to hit it hard enough to get it over the hill and then it was going to take off.
So I think I was just lucky to be in the playoff personally. And then when the playoff started, you know, I just -- it's not a hole somebody is going to birdie in a playoff. So really it becomes about hitting good shots and making pars and making sure you stay in it. So that was kind of the thought process the rest of the way is just be the last one standing and just try to give yourself a chance to make par. I mean, yeah, you want to make a birdie, but you don't want to make bogey.
THE MODERATOR: Just take us through that last putt.
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, it was interesting because the chip I had previously went right-to-left and then kind of broke away, but it did it after the hole. So I asked my caddie, Brian, I said, okay, we chipped from over here; now we're right here. This putt has to be fairly straight, maybe a little left-to-right. I said, do you see it going right right off the bat? He was like, yeah.
Okay. Well, I was never going to hit it hard enough. I mean that's just as he said, the slowest putt on the golf course. So the first thing I said to him to win, I said, "please tell me this putt is straight." He's like, "well, I would play it inside the hole." And he pounds his putts. So I'm like, all right. So I played it inside the left side and still almost missed it to the right.
Q. You must have thought by the time you got to that last putt, though, that by the law of averages you were going to make that one because a few had got by on that hole. That's how we were thinking, that this time you would definitely make it.
ANGELA STANFORD: I was not thinking that, but yes. I mean you just never know, and the way the day was going, the par putt I made the previous time, so after I chipped it and made the putt coming back downhill, I mean before I hit that putt I thought I've been doing this all day; what's different when it's to win this. So I still didn't hit it hard enough. I wish I would have hit it a little bit harder.
Q. Your name goes on there with Lorena Ochoa, Ai Miyazato, Jiyai Shin, Karrie Webb. You're keeping some pretty good company.
ANGELA STANFORD: I tell you I still feel like I'm dreaming. I still -- I'm not quite sure. I just haven't processed it. It kind of hit me when we were doing TV right after thinking about everybody at home and how cool it's going to be for them.
But you know, I feel extremely honored to be in that group of golfers and women, and to be the first American to get to win here is pretty special.
Q. (Indiscernible)?
ANGELA STANFORD: I'm the first American to win in Singapore. That's pretty cool. I love it here. I tell people at home this is my favorite place when we leave the States, Singapore is my favorite spot, and maybe that's why I've always played well here. I feel so comfortable. Everybody is so nice, and HSBC takes care of us. They just make it such a fun week that I love being here.
Q. How does it feel to earn that distinction as first American to win here?
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, you know, it's funny, honestly, sitting at the Pro Am party I was looking at it and I was thinking we haven't had an American win this thing yet. Honestly, I thought that, and I thought well, I'm an American. Might as well give it a go.
Q. What did you do during the rain delay and what was going on in your head? You had to finish 18 and you were a stroke behind Jenny.
ANGELA STANFORD: Honestly, I was just trying to make par because I'm very aware that anything can happen on that hole. So -- and I didn't. I still made a bogey.
You know, the rain delay was tough because you're the only three golfers left, and you know, 18 has always been a tough hole for me, so to sit there and have to wait and you're just looking at it, I mean it's tough because you know it's only going to be three to five more shots. And it's a hard thing to sit on knowing that the outcome of the tournament rests on that, too.
Q. With Jenny, how much courage do you have to have to do what she did on 18 the first time and still be snapping at the heels by the end?
ANGELA STANFORD: Yeah. We started the day, and now we've played two full days together and then some. I was really impressed with her demeanor. I thought she didn't make a lot of mistakes, and when she did, she bounced back.
Honestly, I was shocked when I saw her tee shot go left. I hadn't seen her hit a shot like that yet. But in the back of mind the whole time I thought if I can just stay close, I need to stay close as long as I can, because I've been in her shoes. It's tough. It's hard to win your first one. Being so young she's obviously going to have an amazing career, and that says a lot about her, to do that, to get into a playoff and then be second -- however you want to say that, last one out.
Q. You talked about grinding today. I mean and you made a lot of important putts to save par. How do you manage to stay in there and what were you telling yourself throughout the four days? It was a really long day of golf as well.
ANGELA STANFORD: Again, that goes back to my caddie. It's a lot easier for him to continue to be positive than me because I'm aware of all the bad shots I'm hitting or bad putts or whatever, but he stayed extremely positive and he just kept saying, just keep doing it, just keep making it. Just hang in there. You've got to hang in there. So he's -- I haven't believed him until now.
Q. I was just wondering when you were younger, maybe in your early 20s or whatever if you ever went through something like what Jenny went through. And as a young player what do you tell yourself because it can be really cruel what happened today, and it can be difficult to manage. So what do you need at that sort of level? How do you manage such a situation?
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, I was the victim of I lost a couple of four-shot leads. Not early on in my career, but kind of in the middle, like 2006-ish, I think. Two in the same year. So you know, the thing I guess I would say to her is it's going to happen. I mean if you keep doing what you're doing -- obviously she's a great player. Golf is very fickle, and you just never know when it's going to turn. Did I think I'd be sitting here? Well, I try, but anything can happen.
And I mean I've been through it, and I think she's going to be fine. You just gotta keep doing what you're doing and stay positive and take all the positives out of this week because she had a number of them.
Q. I know you had a very solid, if not good year last year, but back in '09 when you last won, you were playing this sort of golf but doing it for longer. You were going to world No. 1, you had wins, two second places, two-thirds. Just tell us about the last couple of years.
ANGELA STANFORD: You know, I think golf is not only fickle, but it's very difficult. And for somebody to stay at the top or make their way to the top and stay at the top is very special. And you know, I had that stretch from the end of '08 to the beginning of '09. And you know, I think there's so much that goes on in life and, you know, whether it's golf or off the golf course or whatever, and there's just so much that influences people and the way they play.
You know what, I think that's just life. I mean whether I make it to No. 1 or not, you know, I'm still trying to be No. 1, and sometimes, you know, there are speed bumps, and just because this game is so hard.
So you know, I wasn't swinging very well in 2010 at all. I kind of got burned out at the end of '09, and a lot of that is managing that. If you look at world No. 1s, I mean they'll get burned out, and you have to manage that. I mean I took my longest break I've ever taken as a professional this off season. I took two months off, and just because last year was so tough mentally.
I mean yeah, it was a great year, but I didn't win, and it just wears on you. So I decided, I need a break, and I did it. And you know, you have to manage the ups and downs of golf. And you know, I went really high, and then I didn't know how to handle the low, and then I'd have to work my way back up. So it's just life.
Q. For that last hole Jenny had like a four or five-footer putt to make par to stay in it. Given the fact that she made a lot of putts like that of similar length, were you expecting her to make it and what was going on in your head?
ANGELA STANFORD: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I expected her to make everything all day. And when she missed the last one, I was surprised because she had been making them all day. So I think as a competitor, you never expect anybody to miss because players out here are just too good. So you just know that you have to make. So whatever they're doing, they're doing. You just assume they're going to make it.
Q. I just want to go back to that thing about you say you had a good year, but you don't win. Is winning so important because that's really the confirmation that you're playing well. You may tell yourself, hey, I have so many Top 10s, I've made a lot of money. But eventually that's not really the ultimate reassurance. I mean this is the fact that you have the trophy in your bag. That is what it is. That tells you, okay, this is what it's worth it?
ANGELA STANFORD: Oh, for sure. Like you said, it's confirmation, to be able to play -- I mean everybody here is a great player and everybody would say that about everybody, but to get to the finish line and be the first to the finish line is a big deal on this tour now because the players are so good. And it is so deep. So it is confirmation.
But it's also important to win for other goals. I mean if you want to be player of the year, if you want to win the money list. I mean I had a tremendous year last year and I finished seventh on the Money List without winning. I mean that's hard to do and I don't want to do that again. So I think if you have larger goals, winning is very important because it gives you Rolex points, and there are so many things you get from winning.
Q. What was it like in the playoff?
JENNY SHIN: Actually, the playoff wasn't that bad. I wasn't as nervous as I was on the 18th, my real 18th hole.
Yeah, I just tried my best. The tee shot on the 18th hole really threw me off. But I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm happy with where I am. I feel like it's a great start, so I'm looking forward to the following year.
Q. Can I ask you about the weather? I mean how much did that throw you off? You were so close to victory at that stage.
JENNY SHIN: Yeah, you know, I just don't think it's meant to be. If it was, we could have just played 18, but it's just not meant to be. So I'm accepting it.
Q. Did you feel a bit of nerves or lack of experience? Would you agree with that?
JENNY SHIN: Yeah, I do. I think it needs to grow up. So like I said, I'm accepting it and going to move on.
Q. Is this an experience of how good do you think this could be in your career development?
JENNY SHIN: This is really big, I think. Going into the second year on tour and to be in the playoff in my third tournament of the year, it's amazing. I hope this can help.
Q. Did you think you would be at this stage in your career this early on? Did you always believe at such a young age you would be so close like this?
JENNY SHIN: Yeah. I actually moved to America for golf. And I am living a dream. It's a little bit of unexpected early in the week, but yeah. I think so.
Q. What did you do with your time off during the break, during the rain delay?
JENNY SHIN: I tried to get something to eat because I haven't eaten the whole day.
I tried to stay out of the AC, but it was just impossible.
Q. You didn't go warm up after quite a long break. Do you wish you had?
JENNY SHIN: Actually, I was the one who said I didn't really want to go out to practice.
It's just a long way back and forth, so I thought (inaudible). But I don't regret it. Like I said, I think it's meant to be, so I'm okay.
Q. Is this the first time you've been in the playoffs?
JENNY SHIN: Yeah. I've never been in the last group on the LPGA tour.
Q. This is really your second year on tour?
JENNY SHIN: Yeah, my second year.
Q. First playoff?
JENNY SHIN: Yeah. First playoff.
Q. (Indiscernible)?
JENNY SHIN: I had so many battles, especially with the tee shot because I did hook one into the water on number 18. But you know, all I did was try my best.
Q. What was your caddie saying to you?
JENNY SHIN: He was just telling me to just do my best, do my routine. Stay in sync.
Q. For a while you had to sit there and wait and wait and wait to see what would happen. Then you got in the playoff. Just take me through the last hour or so and kind of your emotions.
NA YEON CHOI: I mean after play I didn't expect like playoff, actually. I mean but my caddie said, just wait. In golf nobody knows.
So I was waiting, and then I think this is a great chance to win playoff, but well, I don't have any regrets really. I mean I never think of this situation. So if I win this tournament, that would be great means to me, but I think another time it will come.
YANI TSENG: I was really close today. I tried my best, but I didn't give up on any shots. I played my best. I fight my best to get all the way back.
And I think I just needed a little bit more luck to win in this tournament because I had a bad break on the Back 9, but I'm just hoping next year it will be better.
Q. Was it No. 10 that killed you, the double bogey there?
YANI TSENG: Yeah, a little bit. I think I just got a little bad luck there. It wasn't hit that bad, but just didn't get a good bounce, and I make more birdie on 11 hole, but on the back I didn't get any birdies. Kind of upset. Just very close to the hole, but didn't make any.
Q. What about 2012? You've already won one tournament. What are your aims and goals for the rest of the year?
YANI TSENG: I don't know. Just keep winning because I feel good right now. I feel lots of confidence, and I feel my game is A game now, and just I think I need to get more consistent because I think I work really hard off season. I do my physical and my swing change a little bit, and this goes as far as normal, so I just need to get my distance around to see how far and how consistent I can get.
Q. For some reason you can't win here in Singapore. What is it about this place, and is it a bitter disappointment given the fact that there were so many Asian fans here to support you?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I do feel disappointed because I didn't win this tournament. I was very close this year. I played great front nine, but hopefully next year I won't be disappointed. I will do my best and just keep working hard.

streamlined collection of denim is like a breath of fresh air into your wardrobe. A well-organised, smarter edit where each pair of jeans fit perfectly and whatever outfit you're building, you have your best denim to hand. We've deconstructed the dilemma that is denim, and identified four key styles of jean that will fit, flatter and work with you and your wardrobe, whatever the occasion.
This is our fab four - the essential denim styles you can turn to all season, for every occasion. Both in shops and online, we can help you find the best fit for you, giving you advice on what styles suit you best.
Our skinny fit jeggings create a slimming silhouette on the leg and the soft, stretchy fabric creates the ultimate comfortable jean. Somewhere in-between a jean and a legging, the Jade Jeggings are designed for easy layering and relaxed styling, so they're perfect to pair with long tops, tees and tunics and the ankle skimming length is ideally suited to lo-top and hi-top trainers, or ankle boots for added height.
We've updated the bootcut shape to create the most flattering fit yet, and the dark denim wash makes for a cleaner, more refined finish if you're after a smarter style. With a mid-rise waist and a subtle slim bootcut shape from the calf to the hem, these classic jeans work well with just about every top you own, from boxy tees and tuck-in shirts to vests, cardigans and chunky knits. Pair with longer boots and heels for a longline silhouette.
With a classic straight leg fit and mid-rise waist, the Abigail style is super flattering and perfect for weekends on-the-go. The distressed denim gives these jeans a really relaxed feel, and they are cut straight from the knee to the hem, and slim through the hip and thigh. Style with a crisp shirt and your favourite boots for simple elegance.
Super slimming and with plenty of stretch for all-important comfort, our skinnies are designed to hug and not to squeeze, so they're kept slim on the waist and hips, then narrower down to the hem. The easy-to-wear mid weight denim comes in a relaxed washed blue, and a darker shade for a smarter look. Pair with simple tees, shirts and blazers along with flats for a minimalist, contemporary style and tuck into biker boots and knee highs during colder weather.

I've been out of town, so am just now getting caught up on the last round of posts on the iTDi blog about working with difficult students. If life happened to interfere with your chance to read those posts, please do. They're as inspiring as always.
This week's topic is lesson planning, and there was quite a range in the way the iTDi bloggers approach their planning. (more…)

I have a fairly large farm house in which every room, on the first floor, suffers from sagging floors. The span for each room varies from 12' to 16'. Regardless of span, all floors have 2x8 joists-true 2x8 joists and made out of oak and chestnut but obviously insufficient. I've thought about lvls, flitch beams, and have actually put steel I-beams with jack posts under a couple already (as a temporary fix until I find a permanent solution). One of the problems with the already too small joists is that each one is mortised into an oak beam. So, at the ends, the joists are actually 2x3. These joists are over 100 yrs. old and deflection is so bad I'm thinking about getting them out of there. My idea is to replace them with new 2x12s or 2x10s (depending on the room) which will be tied into another 2x12 which I bolt into the original oak beam (like a ledger board). I figure this will allow me to level the floors as well. Since the beams are 6x8 I plan to screw a joist shelf onto the bottom of the ledger boards and then use joist hangers to tie in the new joists to the ledger. My 3 and 5 year old kids love the spring action in the floors but I'm sick of my desk drawers coming open on their own. Is this solution a solution? |

If this is over a crawl space, adding piers to stiffen the floor system should be fairly easy. Given my shop facilities, I probably would jack to the desired height near where the permanent post is to be, place a precast concrete pad leveled in sand at the post position, measure and make a fixed-length steel post for that location. I think those pads on dry soil will provide completely adequate support. |
These floors are 6 1/2' above a post-poured basement. Anything I put under the joists to jack up the sag sacrifices any head room in the basement. I already have a dozen jack posts in the basement under the beams in various locations. |
Since these joists are going to have "memories" of this sagging shape, I think it will be hard to jack it up into position. Since you want to maintain headroom in the basement I would put a main beam in the middle of the floor engineered for the span. Maybe two LVL's around a 1/2" steel flitch plate, bolted together. You would cut out a gap down the middle of all the floor joists. Insert the LVL sandwich and jack it into the height you want. Attach the individual joists to the LVL sandwich. This will require temporary support walls, jacking into position both sides of the bisected joists and a few other issues. If there's a second floor involved, it's more complicated due to the extra loads involved. Depending on the depth of sag, expect to patch walls and possible rehang doors. The size of the beam would need to be spec'ed out by someone who knows what they're doing. This is not a "best guess" project. Ron |
In our last home I had the same problem on a second floor bedroom. Removed the floor and sistered 2x6's to each joist and placed a new subfloor and floor. I could not remove or straighten the existing joists be cause the downstairs ceiling was plastered and looked level. It was very sturdy when I was done. My son had a waterbed in there for many years. |
ron and hendricus, ron-I don't have to worry about doors or walls. The beams that are under each wall have already been jacked level and the walls were reframed, repaired and drywalled. They won't move when I take out the floor. Some of the rooms are near 17' across so, the deflection is pretty exterme in the old joists. I'm pretty much settled on using them for furniture (or firewood) in the next few years. The subfloor is 3/4 tng pine plank, ie garbage. The flitch beam sounds like a good idea but I do want to rid myself of the old joists. hendricus, How far of a span did you have for your sistering efforts? I've thought about sistering but the mortised joints move so much I'm worried that the desired result would fall short. So guys -is my original idea overkill? |
12' span of 2x8 and used 10' 2x6. Couldn't go all the way to the ends. If you can remove the old joists and replace with the proper size that is the way to go. Hank |
Inst4ead of bothering to remove the old joist, use a flitch plate and sister a new joist. You can download Superbeam for 30 days for free if you want to see what various rgades and sizes of joists will do at your span, and it does flitch beams. The portion missing for flitch beams is the fastener schedule through the wood and steel. You use enough and correctly sized fasteners to not exceeed about 50% of the cruch resistance of the wood members. A flitch between I-joists will not be as efeective since the buckling support is reduced, and 1/2 inch plate is probably overkill. |
The only hard part about Superbeam is the loading. Main floors are 40 PSF live, 10 PSF dead for a total of 50 PSF. Superbeam accounts for live and dead. If the joist are on 16 inch centers the load per foot of joist (the number superbeam needs) is 40 PSF L * 16/12 = 53.3 pounds per foot L and 10 PSF D * 16/12 = 13.3 pounds per foot D. Watch out for the wood grades. |
The plan you propose would straighten the floor and reduce the bounce. You could also install a series of blocking to further reduce the bounce and sort of unitize the floor. You could further reduce the deflection by putting the joists 12" on center. I did that on a kitchen addition, using 2x10's with a 14 ft span. Solid blocking every 4' or so. No bounce at all. Ends up using 2, maybe 3 more joists. You could sell the old joists for a pretty profit if you can get them out in decent shape. 100 year old chestnut and oak could pay for the new materials easily. You probably have a few grand in those beams. Ron |
