Wachauring, Melk, Austria
This is a Mini?
Yes, indeed. As we explained in our introduction to the car earlier this week, it's the first Mini with a traditional three-box design, and it goes on sale October 1, 2011, as the fifth model in the Mini range after the classic hardtop hatch; the convertible; the Clubman; and the Countryman. Early in 2012, this coupe will be followed to market by a roadster, bringing the total number of Mini models to six. Both the coupe and the roadster were previewed by a duo of concept cars at the September 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Mini representatives claim that the Mini Cooper Coupe's only competitor in the United States is the Audi TT coupe, a far more expensive car.
Does it drive like a Mini?
Yes, indeed. It's based on the current Mini Cooper Cabriolet chassis and shares its powertrains with other Mini models. We drove only a top-of-the-line John Cooper Works version at the Wachauring racetrack in Melk, Austria, about an hour from Vienna. In late September, we will have the opportunity to drive the base Mini Cooper Coupe and the Mini Cooper Coupe S.
Our driving impressions were gained solely at the track, as there was no on-road driving in this early media drive program. The 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe, like the classic hatch, is one of the better front-wheel-drive cars you might want to use for zooming around a handling course, but Mini officials corrected our preconception that the Coupe is intended to be the sportiest model in the Mini range. "Our goal was to reach the same level of agility as the hatch," confirms Heinz Krusche of the Mini Coupe development team. Note that he did not use the word "exceed."
"The word 'sportier' is a bad word," chimed in Finnish rally legend Rauno Aaltonen, who was on hand to help the media make the most of their Coupe track drive. "Going sideways slows you down," he joked. But their point was clear: the Mini Cooper Coupe is primarily a means of expanding the brand's model range and its design envelope. And far from being lighter than the hatchback, as we originally reported, the Coupe is 25 kilograms (55 lb) heavier, mainly due to changes made to the Cabriolet's body structure. Reinforced side sills and a structural "torsion wall" in place of the Cabriolet's rear seats comprise most of the additional weight, but the active rear spoiler, a first for any car in the BMW Group, itself weighs about 12 lb. The curb weight of the JCW Coupe is 1165 kg, or 2568 lb.

Search engines like Google and Bing track your search history, Facebook etc. According to things that you look for, and comments that you make, they bring up search results geared to YOU. You can have different people look for the same item or person, and different results can/will show up based on that person's history. But I found out about this site, duckduckgodot com which doesn't track. I'm going to try it out for a while and see how I like it. |

I've also found that google searching has become less helpful as the days go by. I HATE bing so I can't even use that. We found dogpile to be OK too but I don't know if it tracks you or not? |
Try Swagbucks, it's a search engine that pays you to use it. I know people who have gotten significant checks, for instance my daughter who uses it often and last month got a check for 200.00. |
Before using Swagbucks, be aware of what they do and how they operate. Generally the checks you get are for Swagbucks, which are not worth much in real money. |

Don't have much useful to offer ... ... but I'm supposed to track my (friend's) dog (sorry - wrong gender: that's to be "female canine, or FC) ... ... and pick up after her (depending on the character of the outflow). Liquid just disappears ... into thin soil (not thin air). Funny thing, though ... I think that she must be one of the early gender equality advocates, canine variety ... ... as about half of the time, when she "goes" in one variety ... ... she cocks her leg!

O.J. - what does a dog have to do with this topic? You lost me when you started talking about taking care of someone's dog - try to stay on topic! |
In the early days of internet search engines, Alta Vista was one of my favorites for ferretting out technical subjects. Time passed and the original was sold and passed around, but it still exists. It is now one of Yahoo's search engines. Its development apparently stopped years ago, but its search results still relate well. The URL is: http://www.altavista.com |

I would guess the dog reference was connected to the post immediately previous which referenced dogpile. There's really lots of great search engines, many are specialized, but it's fun to try out a few different ones. Ixquick is similar to duck duck go. The wiki doesn't even have all of them listed but covers a lot. |

My gosh, I had forgotten all about Dogpile and Alta Vista. Used to use them years ago. Thanks to you all, I have now found them again and put them in a favorites folder. |

I remember my first experience with using an internet search. Our company had installed a new central computer for the engineers. (At that time, we all had terminals on our desk that were cabled into a central computer.) The IT manager enabled our accounts to internet searches and encouraged us to try it out. One day at noon, I tried my first iinternet search, I wanted to find information about the Ford Escort and thought I'd see what i could dig up. My first attempt used the search words Ford and Escort. Wow! I immediately got a ton of hits, mostly from Madams and 'escort' services out of California. LOL. That was a learning experience. I quickly changed the search parameters; our accounts were being secretly monitored for abuse. |
Thanks for the tip. I've tried it and it's good so far. I like how it defines for us with what we're looking for. |
oj- For what it's worth, I liked your post! Comic relief is always welcome.... |
Been using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and recommending it for quite a while. And WTH, I like the duck! Occasionally I also use and recommend IxQuick and StartPage. They're probably about the most private search engines out there. And yes, some don't care. I do. And no, nothing is 100% private, nor secure on the internet. I used to use Mamma (the Mother of all search engines) and Dogpile to avoid the "G" spot whenever I could. And Joyful, don't forget the Kitchen Table Kommandment Thou shalt not make a joke or someone shalt be offended! ;) Anyway, you should really have more than one search engine when you're searching. Some pick up things others don't. There is no one "best". |

Is 'Tinker Tailor' Director Tomas Alfredson Making 'The Brothers Lionheart' His Next Film?
In Development By Nathan Adams on May 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDirector Tomas Alfredson first caught Hollywood's attention due to the worldwide success of his Swedish language horror film Let The Right One In. And he inched even closer to global notoriety by making Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with the UK based company Studio Canal and a bevy of Britain's top acting talent. One would think that whatever the director is doing next would be a much-hyped affair, but mum has been the word up until this point as to what Alfredson's Tinker Tailor follow-up is going to be. Some news out of Sweden might soon put an end to everyone's speculations, however. Apparently Alfredson has acquired the rights to Astrid Lindgren's novel "The Brothers Lionheart," with the intentions of turning it into a feature film. Lindgren, who many people know as the author of the Pippi Longstocking books, first published "The Brothers Lionheart" back in 1973. It's a fantastical tale about a couple of brothers named Jonatan and Karl who end up having adventures in a adventure-ridden afterlife realm called Nangiyala. Despite the fact that it deals with death and illness and is generally pitch black material as far as a children's story goes, "The Brothers Lionheart" has been successful all over the world, and has even already spawned a 1977 Swedish film that was directed by Olle Helbom.
Two Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Shots from the Expanding 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
Exclusive By Jack Giroux on January 6, 2012 | Comments (2)With my review and claim that Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a near-masterpiece, I don't believe it's possible to get more hyperbolic about this film. Perhaps my fourth viewing, which will inevitably take place soon, could make that happen. Why such grand enthusiasm for a slow-burn "thriller" that's splitting plenty of folks? Well, go see for yourself. Thankfully for you lot, director Tomas Alfredson's film is expanding into 800 theaters today. To further urge you wise readers to go see the film, Focus Features was kind enough to give us these exclusive behind-the-scenes shots of Alfredson shooting the breeze and working with Gary Oldman and John Hurt on set. They're black and white, meaning they're all prestigious and such.
Interview: Mark Strong on Lonely Spies, the Smell of Damp Tweed and 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
Features By Jack Giroux on December 30, 2011 | Comments (5)As I wrote in both my review and interview with Gary Oldman and Tomas Alfredson, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is not one's average spy thriller. The espionage lifestyle we see here is cold, lonely, and harsh. Perhaps the character who represents that the finest is Jim Prideaux, played by Mark Strong. Prideaux, like every other character in the film, descends to worse and worse places, emotionally and mentally, as things progress. The character's as lonely as can be, and Strong conveys that with every somber and sad look on his face. It's an interesting contrast to another one of Strong's performances from this year as Clive in The Guard. A lot of actors discuss how they love variety and go for it — and most genuinely mean it — but Strong seems to be one of the prime examples of someone doing it right. A sympathetic villain, an alien superhero, and an isolated spy make up an eclectic bunch of characters. Here's what Mark Strong had to say about the catharsis of press, the divisiveness of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and the comfortable amount of takes:
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
Review: 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' is Terrific, Taut, Sweet, and Suspenseful
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on December 21, 2011 | Be the First To CommentTomas Alfredson hasn't made your typical spy thriller. Not only is that due to the lack of explosions, a fast pace, shootouts, or any other convention the genre tends to call for, but because Alfredson hasn't really made a "thriller." Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, in actuality, is a dark ensemble love story about lonely spies. The best character who represents everything the film says is Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong). At first, Jim, a towering field operative, is played with a quiet intensity. He's calculating and observant like the rest of his spy brethren, but once stripped down of his serious spy mode and once revealed at his most vulnerable, Jim's an emotionally and psychologically tortured guy. The world of espionage is a vicious place, so says the film. At one point, for great reasons I won't spoil, Jim ends up going from pivotal spy missions to teaching school children in an instant. For one, how emasculating and damaging that must be. The character goes from a life of importance and violence, and then goes off to teach children. The system chewed him up and spat him out like he was nothing.
Interview: Tomas Alfredson and Gary Oldman Talk 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
Features By Jack Giroux on December 18, 2011 | Comments (8)Tomas Alfredson's directorial follow-up to the beloved Let the Right One In is, on the outside, appears to be a drastically different film. Taken at face value, Let the Right One In is about a boy following in love with a vampire and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is about the search for a high-powered government mole. Digging deeper, both films are startlingly, but beautifully similar. They're stories about repressed loners, even down to the smallest of characters and the most intimate of moments. At the center of the lonely bunch is George Smiley, played by Gary Oldman, in an all internal and "it's-in-the-eyes" performance. Very few spies are as emasculated, cold, and unsuave as Smiley & Co. Unlike the Bonds and Bournes of the spy world, by the end of this film, no one will wish they were these characters of the Circus. A few weeks ago I had a chance to sit down with both Alfredson and Oldman for a quick interview where we discussed the paranoia-causing structure of the film, the gray enigma of George Smiley, and how much politer British spies are.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 9, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 10, 2011 | Comments (3)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr hunkers down and braces for award season. He also prepares for an onslaught of celebrity guest stars in New Year's Eve, which features a poster that looks like a "Friends available to chat" sidebar on Facebook. In order to watch all the movies for the week, Kevin hires the only babysitter available… Jonah Hill. What could possibly go wrong with that? Fortunately this frees him up to see some of the smaller releases, like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, W.E. and I Melt with You. And he wraps up the week wondering why everyone needs to talk about him.
Movie News After Dark: Sherlock's Irene, Peter Weller, Sons of Anarchy, Rango and Drive Animated
Movie News By Neil Miller on December 7, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that had one hell of an extended weekend this week. For starters, its author had a birthday. He's old. Moving on. And then it had a "reaction" to "ice cream cake" that is too embarrassing to describe in detail. It's also now very well acquainted with Rooney Mara's body. All of it. But that's another story for another time. Lets get back to doing what this column does best: things that are almost news. We begin tonight with a first look at Lara Pulver as Irene Adler in Sherlock, the second series of which will hit BBC screens early next year. The much-anticipated second frame of the Steven Moffat produced series will build on the events of the last series, including showing us what the hell happened in the pool house!
Are You Ready for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Two'?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy hasn't been seen by very many people here in my home of the U.S. of A, but it premiered at the Venice Film Festival to a whole lot of acclaim, and it's already been released in the UK where it has been dominating the box office, so it's probably time for the rest of the world to start getting geared up for its roll out to other countries over the next couple of months. If you haven't seen the trailer for the movie yet, it's a Cold War-Era espionage story based off of a book by John le Carré starring Gary Oldman as a spy named George Smiley. The film is directed by Tomas Alfedson (Let the Right One In), and it's got a supporting cast that boasts names like Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, and Benedict Cumberbatch, among others. Given all of that pedigree put together in one place, I'm kind of feeling like I don't even need to see the movie to already be excited for a sequel. And according to a story in The Guardian, one might soon be on its way.
Second 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' Trailer Shows Possible Tinkers, Tailors, Soldiers, and Spies
Movie News By Kate Erbland on August 4, 2011 | Comments (4)Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy comes to us thanks to Tomas Alfredson, who is best known to horror freaks as the director of the original Let the Right One In, which is nervy and terrifying and better than just about any other vampire film made, oh, well, pretty much ever. Now it looks as if Alfredson is trying to do for the spy genre what he did for the vampire genre – basically, make it exciting and interesting again. The loverly Rob Hunter showed us the first trailer for the film back in June, and I proceeded to slobber all over it like I'd never seen a piece of movie marketing before. The film features an all-star cast packed with badasses, including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, John Hurt, and Stephen Graham. It's essentially as if every single actor you've ever wanted to see in a spy flick got together and made that spy flick, but made it much more clever than you would have been able to craft on your own.
'Tinker, Tailor' Grabs Mark Strong, Stays In the Cold War
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 17, 2010 | Comments (2)While the question of whether Let Me In is going to live up to Let the Right One In, the more important question is when we'll get to see Tomas Alfredson's new project – Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The easy answer is: next year. The right answer is: not soon enough. Now, the inspired cast of Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, and Tom Hardy is being added onto by Mark Strong (who will also be appearing as Sinestro in next year's Green Lantern). It's also been confirmed that the story will stay firmly in the Cold War era, as novelist John Le Carre intended it. Has there ever been a more highly-anticipated film with so many commas in the title? [The Playlist]

I LOVE THESE LIPSTICKS! The Maybelline Colorsensationals Lipsticks are fantastic. They have a faint sweet smell but I don't think they taste bad or waxy. The magnificent mauve is so versatile. I use it alone and also layer gloss on top. It just looks so great on. They don't dry my lips and are relatively long lasting. The pigmentation is very good and they are creamy. I am a huge fan of these and have multiple different colors in my make-up stash and am looking to add more.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Minnie!
Facts about Minnie
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Minnie's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
"Hi there everybody...if you're looking for a really cute, little, precious, and very lovable Chihuahua girl, then we need to get acquainted. My name is MINNIE, and I'm just one year old. I get along great with other dogs, and I'd make a wonderful family pet. I'm a happy gal who loves to go for walks and chase balls. I'm an all-around great dog. I have a beautiful white and brindle coat, and I love getting brushed to keep me looking my best. Being on the small side, I'd be the perfect size for a house or an apartment, and I wouldn't take up much room either. My hair is very short, so you know for sure that I am one of those easy-care ladies. I'd love to sit on your lap and snuggle, and I sure enjoy those tummy rubs. A trip to our shelter would not be complete until we've had a chance to meet each other, so just ask our kind Shelter Staff to introduce you the incredibly sweet, loving and adorable Chihuahua girl whose name is MINNIE, and we just might discover that we are meant to be together "FUR"EVER. We've got great exercise yards here at the shelter; the perfect place for us to get acquainted, so I'll be watching and waiting for you, and hoping that my dreams for a new forever home will come true before the Holidays arrive. Come hold me in your arms and close to your heart, and I think we just might fall in love with each other. Can't wait to meet you and I hope to see you real soon. Love, Minnie" Kennel #32
Other Pets at El Cajon Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Minnie, a El Cajon Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in El Cajon, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in El Cajon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in El Cajon paves the way for another one to be saved.

McIlroy DR et al. – In an appropriately selected population, cardiac surgery can be performed within 1day of cardiovascular catheterization and contrast administration without an increase in the incidence of postoperative AKI. Recommendations to delay cardiac surgery for a specified period after contrast administration to reduce the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are premature. Additional evidence is required before making recommendations on optimal surgical timing after contrast exposure.
Methods- Six hundred forty-four adult patients undergoing nonemergent cardiac surgery.
- AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine by ≥0.3mg/dL or ≥50% above baseline within the first 2 postoperative days or the commencement of renal replacement therapy within the same period.
- Using a contrast-to-surgery time interval >7days as the baseline, multivariable logistic regression analysis determined the association between a contrast-to-surgery time interval ≤1day or 2 to 7days and postoperative AKI adjusting for potential confounding variables.
- The incidence of AKI within the study cohort was 21.9%.
- After adjusting for other covariates, there was no association between the contrast-to-surgery time and AKI (odds ratio [OR] ≤1day=0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.52-1.66; p=0.81; OR=2-7days=1.28; 95% CI, 0.78-2.11; p=0.34).

The research tasks are to discover the particularities of pregnancy, of deliviries and postnatal period for women with anemia in the last trimester of pregnancy; also we are going to study the dynamic of haematological and iron metabolism for women with irondeficitar anemia in the last trimester of pregnancy and early childhood periods for opportune diagnostic of risc factors do hipogalactia's development in order to avoid hipogalactia, at the same time we want to elaborate pregnancy supervision algoritm in order to primary hipogalactia profilaxy; and also we are going to evaluate results of complex use of iron remedies and folic acid for pregnant women with anemia in the last trimester of pregnancy for hipogalactia avoidance.
The scientific novelty and originality of our research is the аssessment of iron deficiency indicators in the body iт normal - and gipogalaktiс parturients has allowed to speak about the involvement of their importance in the development hypogalactia; for the first time by analyzing in-depth clinical and laboratory proof shifts lactogenic efficiency of complex treatment of iron deficiency anemia with iron and folic acid in late pregnancy and the postpartum period.
The scientific problem approached in the research work has allowed to develop an algorithm allow conduct pregnant women suffering from iron deficiency anemia in last trimester of pregnancy, recommended for obstetricians and family doctors for prophylaxis of hipogalactia. The theoretical significance of the work is in the positive effect of anemia treatment in the last trimester of pregnancy and prophylaxis of hipogalactia development as a result of folic acid use; also the importance is in the elaboration of algoritm which was recommended to obstetricians and family doctors for pregnancy supervision in order to make prophylaxis of primary hipogalactia; and we have also suggested new method of hipogalactia prophylaxis for medical practice in the hospital and polyclinic conditions which opens new additional possibilities for hipogalactia prophylaxis. This paper, highlights and updates the data related to the role of iron deficiency anemia in developing of hipogalactia, just make sure that the algorithm proposed by the conduct of pregnant women suffering from iron deficiency anemia in last trimester of pregnancy is effective, practical and has a theoretical demonstration substrate.
The practical value of the work. Research conducted to the highlights features of iron deficiency as a risk factor in developing of hipogalactia, now of great importance in addressing tactics fair conduct of pregnant women with this disease. Data from the study complete the knowledges of obstetricians-gynecologists and family physicians about the role of iron deficiency anemia in developing of hipogalactia, both in the primary sector and in medical institutions of the II and III perinatal care.
Implementation of scientific results: the results of research have been implemented in the current therapeutic process of SPMI SCM no.1 in Chişinău. The study results are used in undergraduate and postgraduate training of the medical staff.

Public meetings with other First Nations will begin early in 2013 as the Kamloops and Sechelt Indian Bands continue to seek redress for residential-school day scholars.
Even if no one else joins the campaign, this is a fight Tk'emlups (the Kamloops Band) and the Sechelt Indian Band (SIB) will not abandon, said Jo-Anne Gottfriedson, day scholar coordinator for Tk'emlups, during an update by the two Bands in Kamloops Oct. 25.
"We will go full steam ahead," she said.
About 102 people attended a meeting about the day scholar issue in the Tk'emlups Band's gymnasium last Thursday.
First Nations from across Canada were invited to take part, with chiefs coming from as far away as Manitoba. Gottfriedson said the meeting focused on political strategies and how best to gain support for a class-action lawsuit.
To do this, Tk'emlups and the SIB will host information sessions with Bands that had residential schools while chiefs Shane Gottfriedson and Garry Feschuk will lobby groups like the National First Nations Assembly and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, she said.
"There was a lot of interest shown and verbalized," Gottfriedson said.
Feschuk noted First Nations people who were day scholars or are descendants of day scholars will likely have until the end of January to decide if they want to join the class-action suit, which was filed in federal court on Aug. 15.
He said the two initiating Indian Bands wanted to "go the federal route" to ensure all First Nations people affected across Canada could join in.
The next step for the lawsuit is certification.
"Canada has named their lawyers and they have a period of time to file their statement of defence. Once they file their statement of defence, then Sechelt and Kamloops and whoever else is going to join us will file for certification," Feschuk said. "Once it becomes certified, then we know we'll get the government's attention, whether we're going to take them to court or whether they're going to want to negotiate a settlement."
Tk'emlups and the SIB launched the lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of students who were forced to attend residential schools during the day and experienced the same abuses and loss of culture and language as classmates who lived at the schools.
The lawsuit claims an injustice was done to First Nations students who were excluded from the 2007 federal compensation package for former residential school students.

With the new expansion (a fine thing) we have an influx of negative attack cards and a zero kicker. I haven't found these to be terribly useful in my games so far, but I'd like to brainstorm their qualities.
- Loser & Anti-Matter:
With either of these powers in the game, the situation can arise wher the lower total will win the encounter. If one or more of these aliens are in your game, all the above cards are good.
- Sorcerer & Trader:
With these guys in the game, bad cards can be good simply because they might well become your opponents' cards. Of course the zero kicker is still useless - sorcerer can't switch it, and if it's traded it may never get used.
- Ethic can use the low numbers as negotiates, with the occasional distinction that they will win against other low cards. The zero kicker is useful for Ethic too.
- Reserve loves negatives! They act as reinforcements, which can add to either side. Zeros are no good to reserve though.
Other times they can be good simply because you want to lose the encounter. Some such situations include (but are not limited too:
- Playing as or against Masochist.
- Occasionally when playing as Warpish (especially with several allies on your side compared to the opposing side).
- When Parasite has come along uninvited.
In most of the above cases you'd rather have a Negotiate - but sometimes you don't want compensation because your opponent has crapola or because you are running out of cars and would rather have eight than four. Zeros are good in these cases - the zero kicker can even be used with negotiare precisely to avoid having to take compensation..
Has anybody noticed strengths these cards have which I may have overlooked? (I haven't yet looked through the flare deck with this in mind).
If FFG is reading, I request more aliens which make these cards interesting. Especially considering every new alien that doesn't make these useful dilutes the alien deck of those which do.

Video: Peyton Manning's seven touchdowns make up for a multitude of dumb-ass sins
As a lifelong Broncos fan, I am typically paranoid as hell about the team -- fearful that the brighter the spotlight, the more likely the squad is to screw up in it for all the world to see. And there were certainly some ugly moments during last night's kickoff to the NFL season against the Super Bowl champion (hate typing that) Baltimore Ravens; we'll get to those shortly.Big photos, video below.
But there aren't many things on a gridiron that seven touchdown passes can't overwhelm, as Peyton Manning proved last night.
The hype surrounding the game was undeniably irritating at times, and that certainly carried over to the NBC broadcast itself, which introduced itself via enormous banners that covered thousands of fans like flattened-out tents, fireworks displays, a special appearance by Ryan Seacrest (!), and the ham-handed use of Europe's corporate-metal schlock-classic "Final Countdown," echoed by more than two-dozen NFL greats -- the last of whom was, of course, recently retired Raven Ray Lewis.
Apparently, though, a higher power was no more amused by the Lewis cameo than by all those Joe Flacco banners around town, and on Mile High Stadium itself. Seconds after Lewis's face appeared on the Mile High Jumbotron, a lightning storm in the vicinity delayed the start of the contest for more than half an hour, throwing a major crimp into the network's carefully structured program.Photo by Michael Roberts The Joe Flacco banner on the side of Mile High Stadium.
This was pretty much the only electricity in evidence for much of the first quarter, at least from a Denver perspective. Early on, the Broncos offense moved in fits and starts -- something that seldom results in points. Worse, the Ravens, after some early struggles, began clicking, putting the first points on the board via a Flacco-to-Vonta Leach TD.
But the Ravens machine began to sputter after receiver Jacoby Jones was plowed under by his own teammate while trying to collect a second-quarter punt, and The Blindside centerpiece Michael Oher got pretty much the same treatment while watching Ray Rice run for Baltimore's second score.
After that, the Ravens looked undermanned, confused and exhausted -- ripe for the picking, as it were. But the Broncos took their sweet time taking advantage. The Rice score wouldn't have happened if new acquisition Wes Welker hadn't muffed a punt -- an ironic gaffe, since he'd been put into the game to prevent main returner Trindon Holliday from doing the very same thing. And then, on a key third down early in the third quarter, with the Broncos trailing 17-14, Welker couldn't handle a Manning low-ball. Granted, he brought it in, but with a little help from the turf.Julius Thomas celebrating a touchdown like the basketball player he was.

[DVD Review (R2)] CLEANSKIN
Sean Bean is one of those actors who you can usually be assured will deliver the goods, be it on a TV show or in a film. But is that the case with this British spy thriller?
Ewan is a British Secret Service operative, tasked with finding out who a delivery of plastic explosive is meant for, but before he can fulfil his mission his target is killed & the plastic explosive taken by an unknown assailant, who also leaves Ewan for dead.
When the explosive is used without warning at a busy restaurant the Secret Service fears there is more attacks to come so now recovered, Ewan is tasked with finding this unknown person by any means before they can strike again.
But can he untangle the truth before its too late?
I'll be honest, watching Cleanskin made me think of another British film regarding "homegrown terrorists" – Four Lions. Now, Four Lions didn't really float my boat, as it were, due to my not being able to find the humour in the subject at hand.
Happily, I can say that isn't the case with Cleanskin as it treats it with the seriousness that, I think, it deserves. It also manages to make a compelling argument as to why these disillusioned young men decide to do what they do against the country they call home.
That's not to say that it is overly preachy, which it isn't, or that it tries to make all the characters "likeable", which they aren't.
In fact, pretty much all of the main characters, including (Sean Bean), are capable of terrible acts against other humans. But that doesn't make them any less compelling or the story any less thrilling.
I'm hesitant to call it entertaining, however, due to the subject matter. That doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it, far from it, but it's one of those films that I found quite hard to distance myself from the plot & call it "entertaining", but it certainly does grip you from the very beginning.
Sean Bean is your typical stoical spy in this, a man of few words who lets his actions speak for him – and it's a role that he is very familiar with so pulls off easily. On the other hand, Abhin Galeya is a very complex character who is a compelling foil for Sean Bean's spy.
Writer/director Hadi Hajaig shows an eye for shooting action as well as a great ear for dialogue as none of the characters really feel one note or cursory – even Sean Bean's Ewan!
Closing Credits
There are plenty of spy thrillers out there, but Cleanskin tells a compelling enough tale alongside a lot of action that it is sure to find a space in any thriller lovers collection.
While the story might not be the most original, the way that it is presented and the way that the actors bring it to life is enough to raise it above mediocre & make it worth watching. We live in a time when the actions of this film are all too easily a reality, which adds in another layer of tension to the proceedings, but even without that this would be worth a watch.

I broke down and bought a phal at a big box store yesterday. It's double potted with the inside one being one of those very deep clear plastic orchid pots - a 4" one and it's in bark.
The hang tag says 1/4 cup water once a week.
Also, does it need lots of light while it's still blooming or can I put it in a low light area then move it back to the light after the blooms fade? My previous 3 phals haven't done well, I tried many different things with them the past 2 years, one died, one threw off a keiki then died, the other is still alive last time I checked. I have 40 odd plants, I have AVs that bloom, Hoyas that bloom, a couple Jasmines that bloom continuously, Peace Lilies that bloom year round, a couple Christmas Cactuses that bloom yearly and I even managed to get my Anthurium to bloom this year, so I do have enough light. |
Follow-Up Postings:
weekly watering is usually right if its potted in bark(and the overnight temp is 50+) but also keep repeating the orchid growers mantra "weekly weakly"!! That is, fertilze it with a liquid feed every week at about half the recommended strength. No direct sunlight, but not low light. |

text: I just got this machine yesterday. I have to say, for $299 I'm very impressed with how it feels in terms of quality. My intention was to install Ubuntu, preferably as a dual boot, but I'm not sure how to go about it since Windows 8 is very different to me in terms of dual boot installations. For those that have done it, have you done a dual boot or a complete installation, wiping out Windows 8. I find that I am able to run Ubuntu off the USB stick but when I go to install it it doesn't recognize Windows as an existing partition automatically. I can do it manually but am not sure about the partitions. I have been able to load the USB stick while still being in Secure Boot. I turned off Secure Boot, same result. I could wipe out Windows, but am not sure how to re-install Windows if I want to go back since there are no installation discs. I'd really like to get Ubuntu running and would appreciate the help. I've read about the UEFI bit on the Ubuntu Forums, but am not completely clear on it.

Looking for a beach vacation? Let us help you find the right spot.
MoreAlthough Los Cabos is one of the safest areas in Mexico, it's still important to be aware of your surroundings and to follow standard safety precautions. In Los Cabos, pickpocketing and petty thievery are usually the biggest concerns.
Standard precautions always apply: Distribute your cash, credit cards, and IDs between a deep front pocket, an inside jacket pocket, and a hidden money pouch. Don't carry more money in your wallet than you plan on spending for the day or evening. And, most important, leave your passport behind, with your other valuables, in your in-room safe—and be sure to make copies of your passport.
Nighttime is reasonably safe and secure here. Ask the bar or restaurant to call a taxi for you if you have far to go. Taxis aren't cheap, but you shouldn't put a price on getting home safely. All the standard precautions apply: Stick to well-lighted areas, where people congregate. Wandering dark, deserted streets or lonely stretches of beaches is never wise, nor is staggering home in a state of inebriation.

Mayor Walter Goode, Commissioner Donna McDermott and City Manager Caroline Geren were all caught off guard, judging by their reactions.
Anderson carried in a book of city codes before sharing a quick word with Goode. The mayor asked if he wanted to talk, and Anderson quipped, "It's like beating a dead horse." He clapped McDermott on the shoulder before leaving prior to the meeting.
Geren said a written resignation will be needed before Anderson's actions are finalized. Goode said he would give Anderson a call to determine the problem.
In an interview this morning, Anderson revealed the reason for his resignation.
"I was kind of getting burned out, I guess," Anderson said.
He repeated the phrase "burned out" several times throughout the interview.
"We've been going through this annexation for over a year ...," Anderson said. "It was supposed to be done at the first of this year, and now it is going into March."
Anderson said he would like to see Charleston grow.
"I've been a commissioner for 10 years and I am not getting any younger. I have a lot of stuff going on," Anderson said. "... It is just like nothing gets done that you want done."
Anderson said he believed interaction from Charleston residents is a two-way street with the city's officials.
"To me, if people saw the officials were trying harder to get things done, then they would get more interested," Anderson said. "They wonder why they should do anything if the city is not."
Regular business began following Anderson's departure.
Chief J. Hank Hayden was recognized by the Commission for receiving a certificate from the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators for 25 years of membership. He said he has taught most of the instructors in Chattanooga.
Goode offered his congratulations for Hayden's accomplishment.
"We are small, but we have pretty elite people we surround ourselves with and it is good to know we have a guy of your capabilities within a telephone call," Goode said. "People look at us as if we are just a bump on the wall, but we have good people who are sitting in good positions."
Hayden also said it looked like Charleston might lose animal control coverage when Bradley County reviews its services.
"I have already called the mayor [D. Gary Davis] and told him we need animal control's help," Hayden said. "The mayor said they are going to work on it."
Wilma Brown said the Recreation Department is continuing preparation for the March 30 Easter egg hunt to be held in the Charleston city park at 11 a.m. She also said she is interested in utilizing the park more on a monthly basis for recreation activities open to the city.
Goode encouraged recreation board members to recruit help.
"The thing I keep trying to tell the seven recreation board members is each of you have the authority to go out and find subcommittees to work for you," Goode said. "The seven [on the board] have to be appointed by me, but after that you can go out and find five or six or even 10 or 12 to help them put on events."
Continued Goode, "That seems to be the problem of the recreation board. They cannot seem to grasp hold of people who are willing to help them."
Harrill Millsaps, pastor at Charleston's First Baptist Church, said he is interested in organizing a Charleston clean-up day. According to Millsaps, several churches in the Charleston area would be interested in offering their help. Goode said he approved of the initiative. He also said he would get in contact with Keep America Beautiful to see if everyone could meet up on the same day.
"There are a lot of things we as a people can do for this city," Millsaps said.
In other Charleston news:
- The Street Department said it is looking to open the park's bathrooms next week. Maintenance is being done around the city, including fixing signs. Goode offered a reminder to the public, trash can loads cannot weigh more than 70 pounds. An extra receptacle must be purchased.
- The Charleston-Calhoun-Hiwassee Historical Society will not have a regular meeting this month due to the election of new officers.
- McDermott made separate motions to accept the first read-throughs of the Annexation Ordinance 2013 and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration renewal.
- The Beer Board recently approved Poblano's restaurant's beer license.
- Hayden said officer Kammy McCullough is doing an excellent job. She was recently hired and has handled herself admirably, according to Hayden.

Welcome to the Beacon of Hope/University of New Orleans Community Recovery Project.
The Beacon of Hope-University of New Orleans Community Recovery Project (BUCRP) was borne to organize, support and document the creation of a Beacon GIS that allows flexibility in data collection, maintenance, mapping and analysis across multiple platforms using a variety of public and private data sources.
An important aspect of this is the ability for residents and other community based organizations to learn how to create and maintain the data with, or without, direct assistance from Beacon staff. Neighborhood by neighborhood and resident by resident, we are working to rebuild and renew New Orleans. Learn more about the project, view photographs, and download recent maps that were created with residentially collected data.
President of the Oak Park Neighborhood Association Praises the University of New Orleans and BUCRP
In a letter from the Oak Park neighborhood association president, the University of New Orleans and the Beacon of Hope/University of New Orleans Community Recovery Project (BUCRP) are praised for the ways in which they have aided residents and worked to build capacity in the neighborhood. You can read the full letter here.
GIS and Map Production
The Beacon of Hope Resource Center has developed a property condition survey that has been collected by Gentilly residents on the parcel level. Staff at the Beacon has standardized the survey so that City of New Orleans community members will receive the same training and collect neighborhood conditions data in the same format. This data tracks the progress of the neighborhood since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (2005). In order to extend access of this data to neighborhood groups, the Beacon of Hope Resource Center created a centralized data file and began to create a web-enabled repository, Smart Tech. The data viewer will allow residents to view prior survey results and, with a secure log-in, update survey data from remote locations. Typically the frequency of the community survey is based upon a 3-month cycle.
The BUCRP was recently featured in ArcNews!
Students visit UNO from SOKA University to learn about the BUCRP and area wide micro-finance inititives.

» Favorite Ways to Increase Productivity?
I'm sure that it's no surprise to many of you that I use doodling as a way to increase productivity- my sense is that it helps to engage my brain and give it focus. Listening to music also helps, but it has to be the right kind of music or I find it distracting. Sometimes I simply prefer silence to focus on what I need to get done.
For me, I also find the time of day I do certain things plays a part in how well I am able to focus on them.
This article lists 21 different ways to help increase productivity – which are your favorites?
I generally keep a notepad beside my keyboard so I can scribble out blog posts or short poems during the day. My supervisor would probably have a coniption fit if she knew I spend a little time working on my writing, but as boring as my job is, I need frequent little brain boosts.

I've recently become very interested in the designs of Claire McCardell. This is my first attempt at reimagining her "future dress" from the mid 1940's. It's simply made of four triangles, cut on the bias. More on my blog, Daughter Fish

Larry Scott says Pac-12 women's tournament could have a permanent spot in Seattle
Early attendance numbers and response from coaches and teams have shown keeping the tournament in Seattle should be no problem.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott held his first formal roundtable regarding women's basketball on Saturday. He covered topics ranging from officiating to this season's switch to playing traditional rivals twice in the same week.
The important nugget was that he wants to keep the Pac-12 tournament in Seattle. Force 10 Sports Marketing, a business arm of the Seattle Storm ownership group, has a three-year agreement with the conference to host the event.
"I think with an event like this, its best outcome is if it works in a particular market you can nurture it and build it," Scott said, adding the three-year deal is needed to see if Seattle can be that city. "The better analogy for an event like this would be what some cities have done with other sporting events — an Omaha with baseball as an example. That's an event that has had unique success in a particular market. It's kept there, it's built up and it's become a destination."
Early attendance numbers and response from coaches and teams have shown keeping the tournament in Seattle should be no problem. The event has already totaled 10,117 fans in two days.
In the event's four-day span in Los Angeles last year, it totaled 7,720 fans overall splitting play at USC's Galen Center and Staples Center, working around the men's tournament games.
However, the solid numbers this week included locals Washington, a fifth seed, and Washington State, an eighth seed, advancing to the quarterfinal round Friday. Scott wanted to wait until the conclusion of Saturday's games for a better benchmark of whether Washingtonians will attend simply for the quality of the games, especially since there are four nationally-ranked teams vying for a slot in the championship game Sunday.
Regarding teams playing rivals twice in the same week like Washington and Washington State in January, the reaction from coaches was a simple, "They didn't love that," Scott said bluntly.
UW coach Kevin McGuff tried to find a positive in having an easy scout with the quick turnaround. But the Huskies also had to play three games in five days.
Coaches and the Pac-12 brass are meeting in May to make possible tweaks. The changes were ultimately made to televise 60 women's games and move the tournament up a week for more exposure in NCAA tournament selection evaluations.
Pac-12 Networks will see a nominal profit this season, according to Scott.

Anyone Selling DVC contract for the new GFV?
Is anyone considering selling their existing contract(s) for the new Grand Floridian Villas?
I guess I'd have to wait until the pricing for GFV comes out, but we bought BWV sight unseen and although we LOVE the location, the rooms are just too outdated for us. I'm considering selling our BWV contracts and buying 1 smaller contract at GFV. My husband thinks I'm nuts (we bought BWV 2 years ago resale, before the cruise rule change). Am I nuts? :lmao: |
Sounds like you are willing to pay well over $100/point for a new resort because you think the BWV are outdated. You must need the home resort advantage for the times you book because you made no mention of the other DVC resorts. (At 7 months, a point is a point is a point).
Are you nuts? Maybe - as far as financial matters go, anyway, LOL. Is DVC really right for you? Maybe not. A small contract won't get you many nights. You might be better off renting points. Good luck! |
No we have no intention of selling our OKW and BWV points to buy at Grand Floridian DVC. I like the expiration date of the contracts and don't intend to spend substantially more per point just to stay at the GF. For us the location of BWV is unbeatable I have stayed at BLT and using the monorail to Epcot is too cumbersome in my opinion. I would at least see if it's possible to reserve GFV at 7 months before selling and rebuying.
Two people I know are doing this. GFV was their dream DVC and their current home resort not so much. I wish you luck with your decision.
I'll take my chances at 7 months. |
Sell and buy there: NO
Add on there: NO Stay there: Probably at least once to check it out |
:earsboy: Bill |
Grand Floridian is by far my favorite WDW resort, but the price difference from what I bought at to what GF will be is too great of a difference to me. I don't even know if DVC is worth it at those prices. I am hoping for 7 month booking.
i can't imagine even discussing this before the pricing, annual dues rate and point charts come out...
We will be buying at the GF. We both want to stay there in December. Whether we sell other points totally depends on how retirement works out for us.
I don't get the outdated part. Chances are the GF rooms are going to have a Victorian theme. |
GF is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. A little too stuffy for our taste. :snooty:
I will wait to experience the resort and views. I am also waiting to see if DVD is going to change it's inclusion as an available resort. :earsboy: Bill |
No, I am perfectly happy with my OKW, even though I could likely sell for about the same as what I paid.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:22 PM. |

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 Dixie!
Facts about Dixie
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Dixie's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This sweet girl is going to make someone the most precious best friend ever!
She is very gentle. She takes treats directly from your fingers w no snapping. She had no aggression towards cats or other dogs. We have two beagles, and they welcomed her right in:) She loves children! I have a 12 and a 9 year old. They both carry her around, kiss her face, and pet her.....she is the perfect family dog. She is house broken :-) She is very quiet. I suppose due to her circumstances, she had yet to bark. Whomever gets to hear her voice first, is a lucky person.
If you are interested in adopting Dixie, please fill out our online application at http://www.dogworldrescue.com/adopt/
Other Pets at Dog World Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dixie, a Alexandria Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Alexandria, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Alexandria.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alexandria paves the way for another one to be saved.

Slice payments on student loans
Drops in US interest rates open the door for some borrowers to refinance federal plans
Here's welcome news for millions of current and former college students with government-backed tuition loans: Interest rates on the billions of dollars they've borrowed have hit the lowest level in decades.
Aggressive interest-rate cutting by the Federal Reserve Board has trickled down to federally backed Stafford loans, which students use to pay for tuition, and to the PLUS loans that parents use. On July 1, the interest rate on Staffords was lowered 2.2 percentage points to 5.99 percent. It's now 6.79 percent on PLUS loans, also down 2.2 percentage points.
A potentially bigger bonus for the 16 million people who owe $250 billion on student loans is that they may be able to bundle their existing loans into one - a consolidation loan - and likewise take advantage of plummeting interest rates.
Better yet, consolidated loans carry a fixed percentage rate, compared with the variable rates charged for unconsolidated loans.
"Locking in the [new] low rate serves your best interest," says Ryan Katz, a spokesman for Del Mar, Calif.-based Student Loan Consolidation Center (www.slclloans.com). Lenders, ranging from his company to the nation's largest banks and even the Department of Education (800-557-7392; www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov), typically don't charge a fee for consolidation, which has been available for years but is popular this year because of the hefty rate drop.
Consolidation simplifies the repayment process, allowing borrowers to make payments to one lender rather than many.
Borrowers can also stretch out their repayment period from the typical 10-year cycle to maybe 20 years. This cuts the burden on their finances and hopefully lessens chances of default, which the Department of Education estimated in 1998 to be at 6.9 percent of borrowers within the first 18 months of their repayment period.
Early this month, Taffney VandeVoorde consolidated her $22,000 in debt, cutting her monthly bill from $272 to $150, and stretched its 10-year term to 15 years. But the pharmaceuticals saleswoman from Bettendorf, Iowa, plans to extinguish her debt early by paying the original amount.

Was that Elvis returning to shake up the world in January?No, just Eldrick. When Eldrick "Tiger" Woods came back from off-season knee surgery, golf's TV ratings doubled. Each time the number-one athlete on earth plays, millions tune in and even stars in other sports take notice. In February, after he won the Buick Invitational, Woods took girlfriend Elin Nordegren to a Lakers game. With six seconds left in a tie game, Houston Rockets all-star Steve Francis ran off the court to congratulate Tiger.
"How weird was that?" Woods said.
It's only weird because it is new. After 600 years at the margins of sport, golf has finally moved to center stage. Having knocked hockey out of pro sports' big four, the game is gaining on NBA basketball. Since 1996, pro hoops' TV ratings have fallen 52 percent. NFL ratings are down. Baseball ratings are down. But golf's ratings are rising, defying every trend in mass-market sports. And golf is the only major sport that most fans actually play—a perfect prescription for long-term growth.
Still, we keep hearing that golf is in trouble. Participation is flat at about 26 million, which means that for every American who takes up the game, somebody quits. Club makers and course owners say their business is stagnant at best. The LPGA and Champions Tours are hurting; even the mighty PGA Tour has had to scramble for sponsors. Too many outsiders see the game as a bastion of privilege and prejudice, Augusta style. Even the pros' brilliance is supposed to imperil the game: The way Woods, Ernie Els and the rest have been bombing the ball, we'll soon need 800-yard par fives and greens that Stimp at twenty.
But golf is not in trouble. It is in transition.
Participation is flat for a simple reason: The economy shanked. The real surprise is that a time-consuming, expensive, damned difficult game has held its own in such bad times—a stretch so poor for business that industry bosses can sound like Chicken Little. "The industry is going backward," says Callaway president Ron Drapeau, who blames USGA limits on high-tech clubs for a "negative spiraling effect" that threatens golf's future. "The game may go the way of eight-track tapes." But for golfers, Drapeau's storm clouds have a graphite lining: Competition among equipment makers can spur what golf-biz analyst Casey Alexander calls "a market-share cage match" in which John Q. Publinks gets clubs and balls for less. There is certainly nothing eight-track about eBay, which moved $150 million in golf gear last year, a third of the giant e-tailer's sporting goods sales.
As for Augusta, the war between Martha Burk and Hootie Johnson will end when (not if) the club admits a token female. Then pessimists can go back to arguing about "the distance problem," which is not really a problem. It is a selling point. In an age of extreme sports, tomahawk dunks and tape-measure dingers, the 350-yard drive is golf's home run.
The game's progress may have been slowed by a lousy economy, but recessions end. This recession's end may trigger a golf boom that will last a century.
So it is time to stop pining for golf's golden age—an era of knickers, hickory shafts and perfect etiquette but also of racism, sexism, sand greens and weed-eaten fairways. It's time to enjoy the titanium age.
He cannot be called a great player until he wins a major. But Phil Mickelson is a great character, a gutsy, go-for-broke golfer who is also that rarest of jocks, an interesting man. Doting dad Phil skips tournaments to frolic with his daughters and attend his son's birth. Betting man Phil puts $20,000 on the Diamondbacks at 35-1 before the 2001 baseball season; when they win the World Series he collects $700,000. Before this year's Super Bowl he picked—of course—the underdog Buccaneers.
Players mock him by calling him "Genius," a label he invites by spouting off about quantum physics. Analysts call him stupid for taking crazy risks, but that's Phil—not perfect, but never boring. At this year's AT&T he shot an electrifying eighty: After he went out in forty-five on Sunday, his closing thirty-five included a backward bunker shot—from an impossible lie he hit the ball back over his head to the green, bringing roars from the crowd.
He burns to win the big one, to shake that major monkey off his back, but he won't play safe—won't turn into David Toms—to do it. And when he hits one crooked or lips out on Sunday in a major and you can hear his heart breaking, does he pull a Daly and run away?No, he stands there like a man—a modern media man—and tells us how much it hurts.
Won't it be fun when Phil wins his first major this year?
