Michael Phillips
Lost Nation Builders designs and constructs eco-savvy homes and historical renovations as part of a craftsman collaborative in northern New Hampshire and northeastern Vermont. Michael Phillips and company come highly recommended to anyone with a desire for a home that suits this North Country landscape, places energy efficiency as a top priority, and appreciates fine craftsmanship. We'll describe some of what we do below -- as well as link you to several intriguing essays on building considerations, along with instructive photos from recent jobs -- but please understand from the get go: Every home is precious to the family that lives on and stewards a particular piece of ground. That statement implies relationship and trust. And that's where we begin if you decide to choose us as your builders. Types of Work DoneOld House renovations and additions Clear Job PriceThe budget process starts with clear communication. We listen to what you envision, make suggestions as to design options from both an aesthetic and cost perspective, and then draw up a line item estimate of the work to be done. The goal is to establish a price ceiling to allow for a more flexible building process. Good ideas inevitably occur once work begins. Small changes can readily be accommodated in this type of budget; more extensive change orders may require a new line item be added to the overall cost picture. We keep the budget up-to-date so the customer always understands where the money is being spent. The majority of our jobs are done on a time & materials basis as this often saves money for the customer in the end. A fixed bid price can be appropriate for smaller jobs and clearly-defined new construction. Either way, with Lost Nation Builders, you'll be pleased that "job profit" is always invested into quality workmanship and durable materials rather than into the general contractor's pocket. Craftsman CollaborativeLost Nation Builders operates as a "craftsman collaborative" in order to have the flexibility to choose the types of work we like best. The advantages of networking between independent contractors allow each of us to pursue specialty jobs while being available to crew together for big jobs. Each craftsperson determines his rate on which the budget is based; Michael manages the "big picture" without a markup on each sub-contractor; we're all good friends who admire the skills and creative suggestions of the other. Which is a totally different scene from builders who incur numerous additional costs in running an employee-driven business. Lost Nation Builders are essentially the "Guys Without Names On Our Trucks" -- a collaborative of carpenters, masons, cabinet makers, electricians, post'n'beam framers, and the always appreciated plumber -- who put quality work and having fun at the fore over self promotion. You will quickly discern the difference. The energy is infectious. Each day sees great progress towards the goal. Give the lads of Lost Nation a holler today to discuss your building needs. Email Michael Phillips or give a call to 603-636-2286 . . . and we'll see what we can do! |

Maine Lab Rescue is an all-breed dog and cat rescue, with a focus on Labs and Lab mixes. Animals are rescued from high kill shelters or other undesirable circumstances in the south. Before arriving in Maine, they receive vaccinations and other vet care, and transported north for adoption.
While in Maine, our pets live in foster homes until adopted, rather than a shelter facility. In some cases this will be the first home they've ever lived in, fosters help them adjust to their new surroundings and care for them in the same way they care for their own pets. Fosters are the backbone of any rescue organization, and are always needed. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com

World's Coolest Staircases
Dana Merdariu
Staircase Tower, Château de Blois, France
The Renaissance kings and queens of France chose this Loire Valley palace as their preferred residence and continued making refinements. When François I took over in 1515, he made his own mark by adding a wing with this staircase tower—notable for the interior's beautiful spiral staircase and for an ornately carved exterior that mimics the likeness of a tower. It turned out to be the most recognizable part of the Château de Blois. When Richard Morris Hunt designed the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, he built a similar tower that spirals in the opposite direction. —Lyndsey Matthews

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch could soon lose his business empire after a British parliamentary committee released a report Tuesday saying he no longer fit to run News Corp.
Murdoch and his son, James, are being held responsible for Britain's tabloid phone hacking scandal involving News of the World.
The scandal involved the hacking of voice mail messages of celebrities and victims of crime, including murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
Lawmakers accused the Murdochs of managing a corporate culture that sought "to cover up rather than seek out wrongdoing."
The elder Murdoch has insisted his staff left him in the dark and that he played no part in the cover-up of his company's wrongdoing.
But legislators dismissed his claim, saying that Murdoch and his son both exhibited willful blindness.
"As the head of a journalistic enterprise, we are astonished that James Murdoch did not seek more information," legislators wrote.

Neustar, Inc. (NYSE:NSR) operates in two segments: Carrier Services and Enterprise Services. Neustar provides technology and directory services to its communications service provider (carrier) and non-carrier, commercial business customers primarily in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Neustar, Inc. and Targus Information Corporation, or TARGUSinfo, yesterday announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Neustar, a global leader in network addressing, routing and policy management, will acquire TARGUSinfo, a leading, independent provider of real-time, on-demand information and analytics services including Caller ID, for approximately $650 million in cash.
?This transaction is a significant and logical step in our growth strategy,? said Lisa Hook, president and chief executive officer of Neustar. ?Neustar has long provided communications, media and marketing companies with insights derived from their own data. By combining with TARGUSinfo, we will be able to offer a much more diverse portfolio of services in the real-time information and analytics market.?
TARGUSinfo's services help its customers identify, verify, score and locate their customers and prospects. It processes over 100 billion transactions per year. Neustar generated approximately $149 million in revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, representing 20% year-over-year growth, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 45%, excluding the impact of expenses associated with a 2010 TARGUSinfo recapitalization event.

Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO)
Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. The Company has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that can maximize shareholder value. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net).
Biomass is a renewable energy source because the energy it contains comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll in plants captures the sun's energy by converting carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground into carbohydrates, complex compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Click on a category below to see the answers to frequently-asked questions about that category.
Q: How do I find books on my topic?
A: Books available through Hackney Library (including e-books on the computer) can be found by searching the library catalog in the blue box that says Search Barton College's Hackney Library Catalog in the "Find Books" on the library's home page. For more help in finding books, see the Finding Books page. Specific Search Strategies for using the catalog are also available.
Q: What happens if the library doesn't have a book I need?
A: If Hackney Library doesn't own a book you're looking for, it can be requested from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). You can fill out an online ILL form or come into the library and fill out a paper request for the book. But plan ahead; you need to allow at least 7 to 10 days to give us time to get the book for you.
Q: How can I find out if other libraries have the book I need?
A: You can search other libraries' catalogs from our Other Library Catalogs page, where you'll find links to various regional libraries, as well as to WorldCat, a combined catalog of libraries' holdings from all over the world (including Barton's), and to eBooks on EBSCOhost (formerly NetLibrary), a catalog of full-text electronic books (these e-books are also found in our Barton Library Catalog). If you would like us to request a particular book you find in another library's catalog, see our Interlibrary Loan page for more information on how you can do this.
Q: What are e-books and how do they work?
A: E-books are electronic books that are cataloged in the library's online catalog just like print books and other resources. The library provides access to most of its e-books through eBooks on EBSCOhost (formerly NetLibrary) via NCLIVE.
These electronic books are read/viewed on the computer screen, usually one page at a time. They have a number of searching capabilities (including searching the full text of the e-book for a particular phrase or term) that are unavailable in the print version of a book.
Additional e-books are also available through other vendors' collections, such as Gale Virtual Reference Library, Oxford Reference Online: Premium Collection, and ABC-CLIO eBook Collection.
To view any of these e-books from off campus, you will be asked for your Barton log-in information.
Q: How do I access e-books?
A: E-books may be accessed from either the library's catalog by doing a keyword search for "electronic books," or by going directly to the vendor providing providing the e-books (most of our e-books are provided by eBooks on EBSCOhost, but others include Gale, Oxford, and ABC-CLIO), and searching for an e-book using one of the choices available. (E-books also show up in the results of a keyword catalog search if applicable.) Once you've clicked on the link to access the e-book, you will be presented with the option to view the e-book. For more information on accessing e-books, see our Finding Books page.
Q: Can I access an e-book from off campus?
A: Yes, you may access e-books from off campus. In order to do so, you must use your Barton log-in information when prompted to do so.
Q: When searching the library catalog, I discovered two books with the exact same title; one is an e-book and the other is in print. What's the difference between the two?
A: In many cases, it may simply be the format; one is in print and the other is electronic. For example our library contains both the print and electronic versions of Philip B. Heymann's Terrorism and America: A Commonsense Strategy for a Democratic Society. Sometimes, two copies of a title may represent different editions of the same work (as in this case, often the newer edition is in e-book format).
Q: Can I print from an e-book?
A: Yes, you may print from e-books, but only a small portion of the total. Because there is a limit to how many total pages you can print from any given e-book, make sure that you only print what you need. If you attempt to print too many pages from a single e-book, a copyright violation warning will appear and may restrict further access.
Q: How do I find journal and magazine articles on my topic?
A: Finding articles is a two-step process: First, you need to find out what articles are available on your topic; to do this, you use an index. See Finding Articles for more detailed information about searching for articles using indexes. (Please Note: You will not find articles by searching the Barton Catalog; the Barton Catalog only lists books, e-books, government documents, audiovisuals, and pamphlets, but not articles!!)
Second, you need to find out whether Hackney Library has access to those magazines or journals containing the articles; for this, you need to consult Barton's Journal Finder; it lists all the magazines and journals to which we have full-text access (in whatever format: paper, microfiche, microfilm, or online).
Q: What happens if the library doesn't have the journal containing the article I need?
A: If Hackney Library doesn't subscribe to a journal which contains an article you need (a quick look at Journal Finder will tell you whether or not we subscribe to it in any format), it can be requested from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). You can fill out an online ILL form or come into the library and fill out a paper request for the article. But plan ahead; you need to allow at least 7 to 10 days to give us time to get the article for you. Note: See the Interlibrary Loan page for more information.
Q: How can I tell the difference between a magazine article and a journal article, and when is one more appropriate to use than the other?
A: There are a number of differences between magazine and journal articles, including the articles' appearance, length, audience, structure, purpose, authors' expertise, terminology, and method of evaluation, among other things.
Magazines tend to be written in easy-to-understand language for a general, non-expert audience and give a broad summary of an issue; therefore, they are helpful in gaining an overview of an unfamiliar subject, which is often helpful in providing background and the outline of an issue when you're just starting research on a project or paper.
Journals are written in more technical language by experts for other experts in the field, going into much greater detail; therefore, they are helpful for understanding the nuances and intricate details of a complex issue. They also report research in the field on the issue in question.
For more specific information on characteristics distinguishing magazine articles from journal articles, see Scholarly Journal Articles v. Magazine Articles .
Q: What is NCLIVE, and how can it help me find information for my class papers/projects?
A: NCLIVE stands for North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education. It is a consortium of libraries throughout the state that have pooled resources to enable college, university and community college; public; and other libraries to provide access to a number of indexes and databases that we otherwise would not be able to afford individually. For more information about NCLIVE and how it can help you, see our NCLIVE page.
Q: Can I access NCLIVE indexes and databases from off campus?
A: Yes, you may access NCLIVE databases from off-campus. If you are a member of the Barton community, you may simply access the NCLIVE resources from the links on our library's web pages and then type in your Barton network username and password. If you are NOT a member of the Barton community, you will not be able to access the NCLIVE resources from our library's web pages. Instead, you must access them from the NCLIVE home page using an NCLIVE password available from your public library.
For step-by-step assistance in accessing NCLIVE resources from off campus, see our NCLIVE--Access from Off Campus page.
Q: How do I know if an index or database I want to use is an NCLIVE database?
A: All the indexes and databases integrated into our web site are marked with a dark blue box that says NCLIVE:
Q: How can I find web pages on a particular subject or topic?
A: There are many tools to help you surf the net for web sites or web pages on specific topics. They fall into three major categories:1) search directories, 2) search engines, and 3) meta-search engines. For more information about what each of these tools does and when it's best to use each, see our Search the Internet page.
Q: How can I tell whether a web site contains accurate information?
A: Like any resource, you have to evaluate its accuracy and suitability for your paper/project. For more information on some tips for helping you evaluate web sites, see How to Evaluate Web Sites.
Q: How do I find the online research guide that was specifically prepared for my class's library orientation session?
A: The library handouts or research guides prepared for various classes' library orientations are available on the "Help" page; click on "Help" on the library's home page, then on "Library Research Guides by Course." The guides are arranged by course and require a Barton ID and password for access.
Locating the Library's Resources
Understanding Online Catalog Information
Q: I've searched the Barton catalog for items on my topic, but I don't understand the information given. What does it mean?
A: When you search the Barton Library catalog, it gives you information about the item itself (author, title, publication information, etc.), and it tells you where to find the item in the library. For more help in deciphering the catalog record, see Explanation of Catalog Search Results.
Q: What is a call number?
A: A call number is the unique number assigned to each book, government document, audiovisual, and pamphlet that determines where on the shelf a particular book is located within a particular library collection. There are two primary types of call numbers used in Hackney Library: Books and audiovisuals use call numbers in the Dewey Decimal System while a few government documents use a special call number in the Sudoc Number System.
Q: In some catalog records I see that the location is "general collection." What does that mean and how does it help me find the item?
A: The "general collection" is one of many collections (groupings of similar books or other items) containing the library's resources. The general collection represents the largest part of our circulating collection (that is, things you can check out) and is located on the second floor of the library. For examples and explanations of other library collections, see our Library Collections page. Or, if you're looking at a catalog record and are unsure of the location of the collection listed in the "Location" cell of the table, click on the location to see a brief description of the contents of the collection and where it's located. For a complete explanation of the abbreviations used in the "Location" cell, see our Location Table page.
Location of Journals and Magazines in the Library
Q: How do I find out if the library has access to a particular journal or magazine, and if so, its location in the library?
A: Barton's Journal Finder alphabetically lists by title all of the periodicals (that is, journals, magazines, and newspapers) that the library has access to in full text, regardless of format. Some of these are periodicals that we have in some physical form (paper, microfilm, or microfiche) in the library, whereas others we have access to in "virtual" form in full-text computer databases.
For more information on locating periodicals using Journal Finder, see Finding Journals and Magazines: Journal Finder.
Copying/Printing/E-mailing Library Resources
Q: Can I make copies of books and articles that I can't check out?
A: Yes, you may photocopy (at 10 cents per page) books and articles in paper format using the library's copy machines, located by the front windows in the first-floor lounge area of the library (subject to copyright restrictions, which must be observed by the user). The copiers take both coins and bills and give change. One of the copiers also provides color copies at 25 cents per page. This copier also allows you to scan documents to an email account.
Printing/E-Mailing Catalog Results
Q: Can I print or email myself a list of books and other items the library catalog has on my topic?
A: Yes, you may do both. You may print up to 10 free pages of lists of resources (citations--not full text--of books, pamphlets, government documents, and e-books). Printed items are sent to the printers located closest to the user's computer location. Students who log in to the computers under their personal login are not charged for copies (they are deducted from each student's allocation of 100 free pages per semester). For staff and all other users (who must be logged in by the reference librarian on duty), all items other than the first ten pages of citations cost 10 cents per page to print and must be paid for at the time of pickup.
You may email to yourself or to another citations of library catalog resources as well. To do this, you must mark the records you want to email by clicking in the box next to the desired item(s) to put a check mark in the box. Then, before moving on to another screen, you must click on the gray "Save Marked Records" button at the bottom of the screen. (If you fail to save before you move on to another screen, your marked records will not be retained.) Continue to mark as many records as you wish (the ones you marked on previous screens will be saved as long as you clicked on the Save button).
When you're ready to email them, click on the button at either the top or the bottom of the screen that says "Export Saved Rec." In the subsequent screen, on the right side under "Send List To," type in the email address in the "Mail To:" box, then click "Submit." You should get an "E-Mail Sent" confirmation message on the screen in red. Then, when you check your email inbox, you should have a message containing a continuous list of all the items you marked. If you need help interpreting the list, contact the reference librarian on duty at (252) 399-6502 or via email at email@example.com.
Printing Web Pages and NCLIVE Articles
Q: Can I print web pages, articles from NCLIVE, and other materials from the library computers?
A: Yes, you may print web pages, full-text NCLIVE articles, and other documents from the library's reference computers (near the reference collection on the first floor). Except for students who use their personal logins (their print jobs are deducted from their paper allocation), these print jobs cost 10 cents per page printed (for black & white printouts) or 25 cents per page (for color printouts) and are sent to the printer behind the circulation desk on the first floor. Black & white print jobs from other computer stations in the library print to the closest adjacent printer rather than the circulation desk printer (however, color printouts may be sent from any computer in the library to the LibColor printer behind the circulation desk). (Only Barton students/faculty/staff may log on to the non-reference computers in the library.) For more information about computers, see our Computers in Hackney Library page.
Q: Is it possible to email full-text online articles from NCLIVE to myself?
A: Yes, from most (but not all) NCLIVE databases (and non-NCLIVE databases as well), you may email the full-text articles to an email address you specify on the online form. To email an article to your own or another's email address, make sure that you can see the full text of the article on the computer screen, then click the "e-mail" button and type in the email address to which it's being sent, then "submit." In some cases, you will get a confirmation message on the screen that the message was sent to the address specified; in others, you don't, and you just have to assume that unless you get an error message, the article was sent. When you check your inbox of your email, you should see a message that contains the text of the article you sent, or a link to a PDF attachment of the article (which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view). For further assistance, contact the reference librarian on duty at (252) 399-6502 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: What's on the library web page that will help me?
A: The library web page provides access to most of the library's resources; whether you're looking for books, articles, and web sites for a particular project, looking for help in citing sources, viewing your own library record, or inquiring about the library's hours, you'll find all this and more on the library's web page.
Q: How do I find what I need on the library web page?
A: The easiest way is to understand the purpose of the different sections of the page. In the left-hand blue sidebar are links to information about library services (such as the use of fax machines, interlibrary loan requests, accessing your library record, etc.), as well as information about the library itself (library hours, library faculty/staff, policies regarding the checking out of materials, etc.).
On the right side of the page (with the white background) are the tools needed for finding various types of information. This white portion of the page is divided into seven sections: 1) the Find Resources: Quick Search section, which allows you to search for information in multiple formats (books, articles, etc.) with one search; 2) the Find Articles section, which has links to tools that help you find articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers; 3) the Find Books section, through which you access a variety of books, both through our library catalog, through other electronic book reference collections, and through a link to a page with other electronic book options; 4) the Journal Finder section, which identifies journals, magazines, and newspapers available in full text through the library--both in print and in electronic format; 5) the Find Other Online Resources section, which lists databases with information other than articles, plus favorite web sites on a variety of topics; 6) the Find All Electronic Resources section, which lists alphabetically all electronic databases and web sites found on our library web pages (t does not, however, list the electronic books and electronic audiobooks that are found only in our catalog); and 7) the Ask a Librarian section with a link to request email assistance from a librarian.
For example, if you were looking for books on global warming, you would go to the Find Books portion of the page to find them. If you were looking for articles on the same topic, you'd go to the Find Articles section of the page and use those tools. If you want to know whether we have the magazine Newsweek in the full text, you'd use the Journal Finder tools in that section of the page. If you're looking for selected web sites on global warming, you'd go to the Find Other Online Resources section of the page and use the tools located there.
Q: How do I get to the library's web page?
A: There are three ways to access the library's page on the web:
Q: What do the different-colored rectangles beneath some of the indexes, other databases, and web sites mean?
A: Those symbols refer to how you can access those databases. For example, all the NCLIVE databases feature a dark blue rectangle with the word "NCLIVE;" similarly, databases that can be accessed only from on campus feature a gray rectangle with "On-Campus Access Only." For a full description of all these symbols, see our Access to Journal Indexes and Other Online Resources page.
Library Services: What Can the Library Do for Me?
Checking Out Library Materials
Q: What library items may I check out?
A: Many of the items in the library's collection can be checked out (circulated) by current students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Friends of Hackney Library. Some, however, cannot leave the library, such as items on reserve, reference books, journals and magazines, etc. See our Circulation Policies page for more information.
Q: How many library items may I check out?
A: Each patron may have no more than ten items checked out on his/her account at any given time, with no more than six of those sharing the exact same Dewey Decimal call number. For more information, see our Circulation Policies page.
Q: How do I check out materials from the library?
A: If you are a student or a faculty/staff member, bring your College ID card to the Circulation Desk with the items you want to check out; your ID card serves as your library card. Alumni, Friends of Hackney Library, and high school International Baccalaureate students each have their own circulation cards. If you're an alum, a Friend, or an IB student and you don't have a card, see the reference librarian on duty for help.
Q: Can I renew an item I've checked out? If so, how?
A: In many cases, you may renew online an item that's coming due by accessing your library record. Instructions for renewing online are available. See the Renewals section of our Circulation Policies page for more information and restrictions on this process.
Q: What happens if I'm late returning a library item I've checked out, or I lose or damage it?
A: When items are not returned on time, an overdue notice is mailed or emailed to you. If you return an item late, you will be charged a fine. If you've lost or damaged an item, you will be charged a replacement fee.
Q: How can I found out what library items I have checked out and their due dates?
A: You can see what items are checked out to you on your library record by filling in the information requested in an online form. You will be asked to type in your name, your ID card number, and your PIN number. (If you need help with your pin number, contact the reference desk at (252) 399-6502.) You may also renew items online from your library record.
Borrowing Items from Other Libraries: Interlibrary Loans
Q: What happens if the library doesn't own a book I need or a journal containing an article I need? Can the library get it from another library for me?
A: Yes, the library can request it for you through an Interlibrary Loan (ILL). But it takes some time, so plan ahead. There usually is no fee for requesting books and articles through ILL. For more information about this service, see our Interlibrary Loans page.
Q: Is it possible to send or receive faxes using the library's fax machine? If so, what is the fax number for the library?
A: Yes, you may either send or receive faxes using the library's fax machine. Information about when charges apply, the library's fax number, and other information can be found on our Fax Services page.
Q: Can students use the computers in the library for typing papers or sending email, or are they only for research?
A: For currently-enrolled Barton students, any public computer in the library may be used for research, email, chat, word processing, net surfing, etc. For Barton alumni and Friends of Hackney Library, three computers are available for use (they require a librarian/staff member to log you in). For members of the general public, three computers are available after signing a log sheet at the reference desk (requires a librarian/staff member to log you in). For a more complete explanation of our computers policy, see our Computers in Hackney Library page.
Q: Does the library have wireless computer access?

Accessories and Documentation
In the cardboard box that was tied to the motherboard tray you will find quite an assortment of hardware. From top left you have the bag of extra fan screws for the door panel, hard drive screws and rubber isolators for 3.5" hard drives, and the screws for the bottoms of 2.5" drives. You also get keys for the access panel, a motherboard speaker, the motherboard screws and risers, and a 3-pin to Molex fan power adapter. To tidy things up, IN WIN send ten zip ties as well.
The manual, if you can say that, is a piece of paper that shows an exploded diagram of how the chassis goes together. For any additional information, it asks that you visit their site.
To install a 3.5" hard drive, you slide in the isolating washers via the keyway in the side of the tray. You then use the 3.5" designated screws to secure it. For 2.5" drive installation, there are holes in each tray for mounting then via the 2.5"designated screws.

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman now supports gay marriage
WASHINGTON - Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio says he now supports gay marriage because one of his sons is gay.
During an interview with CNN on Thursday in Washington, Portman said "I'm announcing today a change of heart on an issue that a lot of people feel strongly about that has to do with gay couples' opportunity to marry."
He says his evolution on the subject of gay marriage has to do with another revelation. In 2011 his son, Will, then a freshman at Yale University, told his parents he was gay.
"I've come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I've had for over 26 years. That I want all of my children to have, including our son, who is gay," Portman said on CNN.
Portman says his new views reflect "a change of heart from the position of a father" and that he first talked to his pastor and others, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, whose daughter is a lesbian.
On CNN, Portman reflected on how his son announced the news.
"My son came to Jane, my wife, and I, told us that he was gay, and that it was not a choice, and that it's just part of who he is, and that's who he'd been that way for as long as he could remember," he said.
Last year, when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was vetting Portman to be his running mate, the Ohio Republican informed both Romney and his top campaign advisers that he has a gay son.
"I told Mitt Romney everything," said Portman with a laugh. "That process is, intrusive would be one way to put it. But, no, yeah, I told him everything."
Portman, who was ultimately passed over as the GOP vice-presidential candidate in favor of
Rep. Paul Ryan, said the fact that his son is gay was not the deal breaker for Romney. How does he know?
"Well, because they told me," said Portman
As a member of the House in 1996, Portman voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman and bars federal recognition of same-sex marriage.

Our Presumptuous Calling
Not long ago I was on the phone with Gary Moon and Dallas Willard. Dallas and I are to speak at a conference in early 2013 that Gary is coordinating. The title of the conference is taken from the last chapter of one of Dallas' books: "Pastors as Teachers of the Nations."
"Part of the feedback we're getting is that the title seems a little presumptuous," Gary said. "What do you think?"
Dallas's response was unapologetic. "That's exactly right," he said. "It is presumptuous. Look at the final instructions Jesus gave to his followers. He told this tiny little group to spread throughout the entire world—uninvited—and help every single human being become a follower of his. They were to teach everybody his teachings. Who else would even dream of saying such a thing, let alone expect it to actually happen? This is the most presumptuous idea in the history of humanity."
I had never thought about Jesus in this light before. Because I "church-ify" him so often, the Great Commission tends to be one more of those put-it-on-a-church-plaque statements. But when I think of Jesus as a real person, making a claim about how important his understanding of reality is, it struck me. "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations … teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." That would be a lot of authority. Nobody else ever said that. Socrates never said that. Confucius and the Buddha never said that. Dear Abby and Oprah never said that. Jesus did.
This presumptuous side of Jesus has nothing to do with egotism. He was famous for his foot-washing, life-sacrificing, other-serving humility. But his humility was tied to a deeper conviction about the desperate need for his ministry. Jesus knew that he brought to the human race knowledge about true goodness, how it is received, and what sustains a human being through life and death. Jesus was not enslaved to any human being's opinion of him. He did not go home after the Sermon on the Mount and ask the disciples, "How do you think that talk went? Did people like it? Did it need more humor?"
But Jesus also handed the task off. Jesus said that his followers—"unschooled, ordinary" people—were to go into all the world and announce good news. The vision and the task were made cosmic. His followers took this call seriously. "Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching." They began a process of education called catechesis.
And who is to bring the knowledge that will answer life's great questions to our world today?
That would be you.
If you are a follower of Jesus—particularly if you are a pastor or a leader in a church or ministry—you have a calling far more important than you may know.
The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small. We are not called to fill buildings or balance budgets or launch successful programs or grow at a 10-percent ...

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sarge!
Facts about Sarge
- Breed: Beagle/Basset Hound Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sarge's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This sweet face belongs to Sarge a Beagle mix. This poor guy was starving when he came to us, but now his ribs are not showing and he is putting on wieght. Sarge is a fun little beagle that loves to play and is good with the other dogs. He does try to hide his food, but we think that is because he is afraid of starving again. Sarge wants a happy home to call his own and he promises to make a good pet for you. Please contact Treena at 931-589-5352 or Julie @ 931-589-3415
Act quickly to adopt Sarge. Pets at this Rescue Group may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Perry County Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sarge, a Linden Beagle/Basset Hound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Basset Hound for sale in Linden, or seeking a Beagle/Basset Hound dog from a breeder in Linden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Linden already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Linden breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Basset Hound breeders who help with Beagle/Basset Hound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Linden paves the way for another one to be saved.

Arcane Brilliance: The state of the Mage {WoW}
Sep 27th 2008 8:59PM Actually, he makes several good points. I'm sorry, does that upset you? Evocation much? Mana gems? A warlock has to pay for mana with health, so it ain't an unlimited supply, unless you want to spend msot of your time draining life. Go make love to your water elemental, and quit whining.
Everything is in a state of flux right now. It is beta. And at current, not to many classes are really happy with where they are at. Blizzard hit a sweet spot for classes, but instead of actually going with what they had, and changing numbers, they decided to screw up a number of things. Nearly EVERYONE suffered from this. Not just mages. Get over it, and keep posting useful feedback in the beta and PTR forums, and not the usual "OMG, I die to hunters/warlocks/rogues!" crap I see all the time.
Warlock changes in Beta build 8982 {WoW}
Sep 25th 2008 6:47PM I....almost never say things like this, but GTFO. Seriously. Are you even paying attention to whats going on in the beta? Your not even IN the beta, are you? Mirror image ringing any bells? Warlocks being tuned to do less damage then mages? No? Pay better attention.
Meta......I can't.....say...to much good about it. It barely feels like a good stall at current. It doesn't really feel like it fits in well at all, honestly. It is still missing something. Right now its basically just a hyped up shadow form, but with a 30 second duration, and not much meaningful going into it. Sure, it'll be a nice stall in PvE when you accidentally draw aggro when soul shatter is up, and for buying you ten more seconds against a rogue, but it doesn't flow well. Blaugh.
World of WarCrafts: Alliance QQ Nullifier {WoW}
Sep 25th 2008 6:38PM You think...the horde doesn't whine? *LAUGHS* and *LAUGHS* Oh, god, thats amusing.
But seriously, enough is enough. In a min/maxing world, the horde racials are in general seen to be the 'optimal' racials, so anyone 'leet' or 'hardcore' is naturally going to roll horde. Add that into the mostly mistaken bad guy idea, and you have it attracting a mid to older crowd. By contrast, the alliance are the good guys ((Har har)) and tend to attract a younger crowd.
To say that the alliance whines more then the horde is just plain stupid and un-informed. I have high levels of both sides, and unless you run with a pre-made, your going to see an equal number of whiners in both camps, even more so after the introduction of blood elves. I don't usually knock articles here, but this was more then a little immature and unnessecary.
Resurrection etiquette {WoW}
Sep 25th 2008 6:29PM And I respectfully disagree with you. Our job as healers is to keep everyone alive, and to revive individuals who die when that fails. It is NOT, however, our job to cater to people who feel like being lazy. At the very least people should be considerate and ask if they should release or wait for a revive, not just automatically assume we're going to do it just because we can.
Shaman changes in Wrath beta build 8982 {WoW}
Sep 24th 2008 9:51PM Oh my GOD, do you people ever stop whining?! This is an increase to TOTEM SURVIVAL for one, a major issue with shamans every where. A buff to rip-tide, which is far, FAR more amazing then spirit link. Spirit link gave a minor survivability in arenas, ONE aspect, and gave you some protection against CC. We now have a fully functional, instant heal with an HoT. The minor nerf to elemental, sure, be a bit upset about that, but for the love of GOD, try to look on the bright side.
By many accounts, elemental's damage is still competetive, and we're not sure about enhancement because of a busted main hand windfury. In the mean time, if your in the beta or on the PTR, KEEP TESTING, and if your not, stop whining until you see the end result. Theory crafting does not a class make.
Ask a Beta Tester: Baron Rivendare, heirloom items, and more {WoW}
Sep 22nd 2008 8:58PM My death knight just hit 68 and I ran right into Northrend, no problems what so ever. A small spike in difficulty, but it just made the fights last maybe three seconds longer. You can, and at sixty eight should just hop both feet first into Northrend.

"Tigole Deep-Breaths more" {WoW}
Sep 21st 2008 7:22PM Good to see your grasp of whats going on is tenuous at best. This is the BETA. In order to facilitate the testing process, Blizzard allows play testers into their realms to root out bugs, issues, and other problems. NOT to make baseless, ignorant comments about Blizzards capabilities on the forum. That is known as 'trolling'. Had he had some suggestion, some valid and logical complain, instead of "It won't be done, WAUGH!" then I'd call it overly harsh. As it stands, Tigole has been seriously cracking down lately. Maybe he is feeling short tempered, or maybe they have just decided to ((Finally)) lay down the law on morons. Whatever the reason, the less people in the beta who aren't actually testing, the better.
"Tigole Deep-Breaths more" {WoW}
Sep 21st 2008 7:17PM Do you have any idea how many EU threads whine about "WAUGH, THE US FORUMS GET MORE ATTENTION, WAUGH!" I think at this point they are frickin' tired of it, and are just locking on sight now.

I have four downspouts on the house. Two have downspout extenders that unfortunately have to cross walkways and I'd like to get them out of the way by burying them. Both extenders now drain into garden beds and the walkways are brick, so it'll be easy to pull them up and dig a trench. How deep should that trench be and do I just let the water dump into my garden beds or should there also be some sort of trench with gravel dug there too? What kind of drain pipe material should I use? I sort of would like to be able to disconnect the extension pipe from the downspout when I do gutter cleaning - lots of trees in my neighborhood. Is periodic disconnection at the downspout OK, or will that create problems?
In southern WI, so freeze is an issue. One extender needs to be at least 4' long, the other about 10'. Currently don't have any drainage problems, just the inconvenience and safety hazard of the extenders crossing the main traffic walkways into the back yard. Thanks in advance for any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
SWC, How much perpendicular slope do you have on your walkway away from the house? How much slope away from the house beyond the sidewalk to the garden areas? The top of pipe could be below the brick sidewalk by as little as 2" in well compacted sand. The slighter the slope the bigger the pipe has to be unlike your downspout which has vertical drop and turbulent flow. Just have a larger diameter pipe under the sidewalk than your downspout and have then have a removable vertical section fitted into the under sidewalk portion 90 degree bend. How much annual rainfall do you get? Aloha |

Downing Street press release
A Downing Street spokesperson said: "The Prime Minister spoke separately to the Presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this evening about the situation in Eastern DRC. He used the calls to welcome the joint communique signed by Presidents Kagame, Kabila and Museveni condemning the M23 rebel group and calling on them to pull out of Goma. He encouraged both leaders to do all they could to translate the communique into action.
"The Prime Minister urged President Kagame to do everything he could to put pressure on the M23 to withdraw from Goma. He made clear that the international community could not ignore evidence of Rwandan involvement with the M23, and that President Kagame needed to show that the Government of Rwanda had no links to the M23.
"The Prime Minister then spoke to President Kabila to encourage him to work closely with Rwanda and Uganda to implement the communique. He discussed with President Kabila what more could be done to promote stability and security in Eastern DRC."

Students: The student body's evolving profile
A "tiny band of scholars" — 10 faculty members and nearly 40 students — made up the new University of California when it opened in Oakland in 1869. Eight women registered for classes the next year, following a regental resolution stating that females would be admitted to the University.
The campus's first graduating class, of 1873, was known as "The Twelve Apostles." From their ranks came a U.S. Congressman and California governor, a mayor, a bank president, two UC regents, a businessman, an attorney, an engineer, a math professor, a clergyman, and a rancher.
Student enrollment reached 10,000 by the second decade of the 20th century, making Berkeley one of the largest universities in the country. Most campus students came from California, but by the 1930s UC Berkeley also accommodated about 10 percent of all international students in the country. In part because of this, it was chosen as the site of the second of four international student centers established through the philanthropy of John D. Rockefeller.
Physical education, 1921
Berkeley's International House officially opened in August 1930 (despite objection from some to the housing of foreigners and of men and women, people of color and whites all under one roof). It was, at the time, the largest student housing complex in the San Francisco Bay Area and the first coeducational residence west of the Mississippi.
As in the rest of the nation, women at Berkeley enjoyed greater opportunities to assume positions of leadership during WWII, when large numbers of their male counterparts were deployed as troops overseas. Among students, for example, both The Daily Californian (the campus's independently-run student newspaper) and Blue and Gold (the student yearbook) had their first female editors during these years, while women headed the ASUC student government for the first time (though it would not be until the late 1960s that women or students of color began to regularly win ASUC elections).
Returning GIs, hippie peaceniks, growing diversity
Thousands of veterans, with the help of the federal GI Bill, poured into the campus at the end of the Second World War, doubling enrollment to more than 20,000 in a few years time (and reaching 30,000 by 1973)
By the late 1960s and early '70s — as San Francisco became a magnet for the burgeoning hippie movement — Berkeley's growing student body ran the spectrum from hippie peaceniks to what were known as the "Freddies and Sallies" of the Greek system. Tie-dye was popular garb, but as student yearbooks of the era reveal, so were ties and jackets.
The campus underwent a sea change in the 1980s. Under the leadership of Chancellor Michael Heyman, the decade saw a dramatic increase in the number of undergraduate students of color at Berkeley (to 57 percent in 1990 from just 21 percent a decade earlier) — in part due to the establishment on campus of the Educational Opportunity Program, one of the nation's first student affirmative-action initiatives.
Chang-Lin Tien, a longtime member of the mechanical engineering faculty, became chancellor in 1990. The first Asian American to head a major U.S. research university, Tien was an outspoken advocate of equal opportunity in higher education. Yet affirmative-action tools that UC had used to recruit students from diverse backgrounds were weakened during his tenure — through two regental measures, later unanimously rescinded, and by Proposition 209, an amendment to the state Constitution approved by California voters in 1996.
Soon after Prop 209 took effect, admission of
Chicano/Latino, African American, and Native American students
declined. Under the leadership of Chancellor Robert Birgeneau,
the campus continues to grapple with how to ensure that talented
students of all backgrounds and means have the opportunity
to attend and thrive at Berkeley.
The Berkeley student body
Campus statistics help fill out the picture of the Berkeley student body today. Since 1997, the majority of entering freshmen has been female, and since 2005, nearly a third of incoming freshmen have been the first in their families to attend college. Today, slightly more than a quarter of campus undergrads are born outside the United States; for another 40 percent, one or both parents are foreign-born.
In the 2007 UC Undergraduate Experience Survey — administered each spring, at Berkeley, to all undergraduates including transfer students — 51 percent responded. Those who did reported more than 70 languages were spoken at home.
According to the same survey, Berkeley students lean left politically but run the gamut: 63 percent called themselves at least slightly liberal, 22 percent considered themselves "middle of the road," 16 percent identified as conservative. Fifty-five percent said they voted in the November 2006 election.

In a recent project, I had to make use of pagers in two views. As per the requirement, I had to display different numbers of contents per page for both views. For the first view, I had to display 2 items per page and for the second one(search-results view) 10 per page.The problem I faced was, Eventhough if I had less than 10 search results, the page displayed the pager-links as per the contents of the first view. ie, both the views showed same number of pagers, which was wrong. If you want to know, how I fixed this, please read on.

- Drupal Development
Drupal is a very good technology but at the same time there is a steep learning curve for Drupal. This learning curve limits the number of readily available Drupal developers in the market. Finding capable developers from this limited pool is an even bigger challenge. But why bother hiring developers full time if you can hire Drupal developers on an hourly basis at very affordable rates from India.
When you set out to build a website for your company there are a lot of aspects that you should be considering while deciding on the technology decisions. Based on these different aspects and based on how you prioritize between them the technology decisions that you take would vary. Going for a Content Management System is a no brainer if you wish to manage the content on your site. Both Drupal and Wordpress are good choices for building your new company website. However there are differences between them and this is an attempt to help you make a decision on this.
If you are an organization trying to set up a new website or if you are planning to upgrade your static website to a dynamic website here are some key reasons why Drupal is a good solution for you to bank on.
If you are looking to find a reliable company in India to outsource your Drupal work then read more to see why we would be a good fit as a partner.
Global Redirect is a functional module which ensures the correct redirection of users to the alias of a given drupal path, thus avoiding duplicated content from multiple URLs. This is very important for SEO because otherwise search engines will see the same content at the Drupal path as well as at its alias causing it to believe that the site is duplicating content at two different URLs
There wouldn't be any Drupal site that doesn't have forms on it - Drupal being a CMS, forms have always been an integral part of every Drupal version from start. Forms provide an easy interface to the website users to input information to the site.
Just as for File Upload fields, Image Upload fields are equally prone to hack attempts. They also have additional functionality to do post-upload, such as passing the image through various image processing filters / presets. While testing Image Upload Fields, you have to take into consideration all these points. Here are some test cases to help you test image upload fields on a Drupal site:
In a Drupal site, user roles and permissions are an important way of controlling access to the site. This is more so important when there are multiple individuals besides the website owner who administers the site. Other people can be assigned certain 'roles' which define the kind of access that is to be granted. Basically in Drupal, the Site maintainer and Administrator roles are given all the available permissions and Drupal Administrator role receives all permissions throughout the lifespan of the site. This is not the case for other 'roles', where access within admin permissions and time limits only are granted to users linked to those roles.
You might ponder as to why test a link, or even include it as a test case when there are several other major functionalities to be tested in a Drupal site. Every site, be it Drupal or non-Drupal, contains numerous links, some of which lead to external sites and some that whirl within the site. The 'web' works extensively through links, and it is through links that sites are navigated to and get found. Links are also the underlying indicators for security of a site. So links should be paid attention to and be tested thoroughly. Here are some test cases to help you get started:
Triggers and Events are very important concept in the Drupal world. If you want to get your hands dirty tweaking Drupal or dive into Drupal development or simply configure a Drupal website properly you need to be familiar with the Drupal Actions and Triggers. If you want to know more about Drupal Triggers and Actions then read on to find out.

Many a times, IE7 stands out from the group of modern web-browsers owing to its notorious incompatibility with many a standard HTML/CSS/JS. In this article, we are seeing the following case of incompatibility: In IE7, the CSS 'border-collapse' does not override cell spacing related tags.
If you need to deliver a custom tailored home page to a user visiting your Drupal website based on their actual physical location you need to need to match their ip addresses with their actual physical location. There are many third party services that provide this functionality and you need to use the API key provided by them in your Drupal application. If you need to know how to get IP address and Country code from an API key to be used in your Drupal application then read on to know more.
As a Drupal developer you might have come across a Drupal multisite installation in which the different sites were connected through symlinks. As a developer you often need to create a local installation of a live Drupal project to make the required changes before pushing it to the live version of a site. If you are facing the same situation in your Drupal site and would like to know how to create a local installation of a Drupal multisite project connected through symlinks then continue reading to know more.
File upload fields are one of the most vulnerable elements in a Drupal form, highly prone to hack attempts. So these have to undergo thorough rounds of testing to make sure the data that goes in is perfectly safe.
One of our Drupal sites we had worked on required us to implement region based content filtering and it was to be done through a value stored in a session. The Drupal site was also using Boost to enable static page caching. Boost stores pages as HTML files inside a cache folder and each page is served from the cache for anonymous users.
We were requested by a client to create and integrate a Facebook Application on their Drupal site which would post the published content automatically on Facebook. For publishing a content from our Drupal site to Facebook Wall, we need to create a Facebook App. If you want to know how to create a Facebook App for posting published content on a Drupal site on Facebook Wall, then continue reading.
On one of the Drupal projects we had recently worked on, the client wanted us track the last active tab. We had used the Drupal Quicktab module to create the tabs. However we noticed that the quicktab cookie used to track the last active tab is not persisting after closing and reopening the browser. If you are facing the same scenario in your Drupal site and want to know the solution then continue reading.
This is a description of how you can display table listings with checkboxes on each row on a Drupal site. The requirement in one of my projects was that "Admin can select multiple checkboxes against the details of a user, and can run an update query when update button is clicked."
To implement this, I made use of Drupal 7's table_select() function which saved my time and made my code less complicated. Now, if you want to know how you can make use of this functionality in one of your projects, you may read on.

This is my first spring with Basjoo Banana trees. I cut them to about 2 feet in the fall, insulated and covered them well. I am wondering when should I uncover them...? Is there a minimum night time temp I should wait for?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
just my 2 cents but anytime above freezing for Basjoo should be just fine. i cut mine down to the ground level last fall and covered them with just leaf litter. They saw many nights below freezing and a few times in the 20's. I just uncovered them the other day and they are pushing out from the middle. |
Yesterday I decided to uncover them and see what was there. I decided to take pictures of the process so I started by a taking a picture of the cover in tact. Then I gently removed the cages and vwallaa! No tree! LOL You should have seen the look on my face... I was sure I had done everything right and no banana tree... It was like they were abducted by aliens over the winter. I will just let them die back to the ground and mulch heavily going foward. |
I left mine uncovered all winter (a mild one where the low temp was 9F). The subsidiary trunks look green and I expect new growth in the next few weeks (the main trunk rotted back to the ground). |

Here's a pick of my Musa Bajoos from today. They got a good start from the warm March. I didn't even uncover them they just poked themselves out of the mulch they were covered in. |

MLS Round-Up
Wednesday, April 11, 2012
2012 has been a year of firsts for former Reading United and Carolina Dynamo standout Andrew Wenger. He was the first selection in the MLS SuperDraft in January, by the Montreal Impact. He made his first appearance for the side in their inaugural game in Major League Soccer against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
This past Saturday, Wenger added another first to the list, scoring his first goal in Major League Soccer as Montreal defeated Toronto FC 2-1. Coming on as a second-half substitute, Wenger gave the Impact a two-goal cushion against their Canadian rivals in the 81st minute, and the goal proved important as Toronto pulled back a goal late as they tried to rally.
Wenger made eight appearances for the Dynamo in the PDL last season, scoring twice, while also appearing in the U.S. Open Cup, and is still returning to North Carolina regularly as he completes his studies at Duke University. While many projected him to be a defender in the pros, the natural ability he showed in attack for the Blue Devils certainly gives Impact coach Jesse Marsch a lot of options as to how to utilize the All-American.
While Wenger claimed his first goal in MLS, former Orange County Blue Star standout Kei Kamara continued his strong start to the season for Sporting Kansas City, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win against the LA Galaxy as his side made the first 5-0-0 start in MLS since its inaugural season in 1996.
Kamara also commanded the national spotlight at halftime of the ESPN-televised contest, which took a look at his upbringing in Sierra Leone and his journey to the United States.
Joining Kamara on the MLS Team of the Week was fellow PDL alum Chris Wingert, formerly of the Brooklyn Knights, who helped Real Salt Lake take victory against Rocky Mountain Cup rivals and his former team the Colorado Rapids. USL alum Ramiro Corrales was also selected after helping the San Jose Earthquakes to a 3-1 victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Former Charleston Battery standout Osvaldo Alonso also earned a place on the MLS Team of the Week. In a week that saw his former side defeat the Richmond Kickers in their USL PRO season opener, it was fitting that Alonso would shut down one of the Kickers' most prominent alumni, Dwayne De Rosario, as the Seattle Sounders took a point on the road against D.C. United.
Elsewhere, a former teammate of Wenger's from Reading, Matt Hedges, made his debut in MLS and almost had his first goal as well, only for the referee's whistle to deny his 77th-minute header against the New England Revolution. Former Jersey Express goalkeeper Ryan Meara also continued to impress for the New York Red Bulls, earning an honorable mention in the MLS Team of the Week selection.

To reach the green on Silver Lake Country Club's South Course Hole No. 8, golfers must hit over a marsh. | Tim O'Brien~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: August 27, 2013 6:31AM
Par 4
Blue Tees: 417 yards
White Tees: 390
Gold Tees: 300
Red Tees: 300
Handicap: 5
The Layout: It's fairly straight, with a gentle turn right approaching the hole. A narrow fairway gradually downhill leads toward a marsh that lies in front of the green. Trees line the fairway on either side, with six different bunkers greeting golfers around the green that slopes back to front back toward the swamp.
How about some strategy?
"You are going to need a nice, extended drive with the fairway running center to right," said Gregg Tengerstrom, Silver Lake PGA pro. "Depending on your drive, you are leaving yourself 150 to 190 yards out from the green. Your second shot, you will have to carry it over the marsh and swamp in front of the green. It is an elevated green, with sand traps all around it. It's a precise (second) shot as to controlling how you do.
"It is tough to carry that second shot hitting over the marsh. It takes a demanding shot. Some golfers will lay up short rather than risk it."
How do you attack No. 8?
"If you are going for the birdie, you need to make a well-placed drive," Tengerstrom said. "The green is fairly flat, but it does roll back to the front so a long putt (down) will roll back to the slope toward the swamp and marsh. You have got to be precise with that second shot. You have to be on target."
What is the appeal of No. 8?
"The hole is right in the middle of the course as you get to the turn, so you have had a chance to warm up (with your round)." Tengerstrom said. "Your average player is going to be happy getting his shot over the swamp. It can definitely be a make or break hole on the course for you."
As told to Tim O'Brien

The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Come now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you]. | 1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. |
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. | 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. |
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have amassed treasure for the last days. | 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. |
4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. | 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. |
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. | 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. |
6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you. | 6 You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. |
7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain. | 7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. |
8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. | 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. |
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. | 9 Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! |
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. | 10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. |
11 Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. | 11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. |
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea: and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. | 12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned. |
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms. | 13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. |
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: | 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. |
15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they will be forgiven him. | 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. |
16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much. | 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. |
17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. | 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. |
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit. | 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. |
19 Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him; | 19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, |
20 Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins. | 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins. |

i have REALLY bad undereye bags and dark circles even though i'm 18. there heredity so there's nothing i can do to get rid of them except by covering them up. this is the first concealer i used ( and the only one) and it works at covering my dark circles. they're not completely gone but there's definitely an improvement! it can sometimes leave my eyes looking too yellow if i don't apply it perfectly though, and it settles into the little creases as well. but i can't find anything else to cover up my eye circles so i'll stick with this one!
I love this concealing wand. Works great on my dark circles and dosnt seem to settle in fine lines as much as others I have tried. I love the texture and the yellow color is perect(Not canary yellow). I also like the fact that I can connect my skin colored concealer to the other end. Really like this. I will purchase again for sure.
