Evolving Methodology for Rating Watershed Sustainability in Preparation for Possible Certification (September 2009) (Members) (Nonmembers)This TPU proposes a watershed rating methodology that combines and expands existing elements used to assess the sustainability of a watershed, including human use of physical characteristics, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and significant industrial facilities. Inherent in these discussions is the concept that human activity, at a minimum, should only use nature's resources at a rate at which they can be safely replenished naturally so that future generations can meet their own needs. It has now been proposed that it may be possible to apply certification to an entire watershed. This TPU tries to show how steps might be taken in this direction and to address how a foundation might be established that could provide the basis for a subsequent certification process.

The course was designed by the respected course designer Sam Berriman and officially opened by the Mayor of Northcote Cr. F.J. Ford JP on December 15th, 1962. An exhibition match with some top amateurs of the time celebrated the opening, including Doug Bachli, 1948 Australian Amateur Champion and 1954 British Amateur Champion, and Tom Crow, 1961 Australian Amateur Champion. The Clubhouse was built on the present site and opened by the appropriately named mayor of Northcote Cr. Caddy, on the 10th December 1967. The Clubhouse was extended to its current size in 1985 and provides a modern facility for its members. The Club plays competition every Saturday morning beginning at 6.30 a.m. or at first light after this time. Guests with an official Australian handicap are welcome to play in any Saturday competition - please phone 9484 6961 as bookings are necessary to play with the Club.

Just two days ago the Wall Street Journal picked up on Chinese state media reports that the government was worried it might run out of coal. The paper reported:
State-run media reported that Beijing is considering capping domestic coal output in the 2011-2015 period, partly because officials worry miners are running down reserves too quickly to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding economy.
Those signals have been picked up by companies around the entire world, who are now clamouring to meet that demand.
On the same day, Vallar, Nat Rothschild's cash shell, paid $3bn for Indonesia coal assets. At the time, the new company's proposed CEO, Ari Hudaya, said:
It is a very exciting time to be a mining company in Indonesia. The fundamentals of the metals and mining sector are compelling, given the strength of demand from China and India, and we are ideally located to capitalise on that growing demand.
Now just two days later, another one pops up. This time the deal is on the other side of the planet, with Walter Energy, the US coal miner, bidding $3.3bn for Western Coal. Including Caterpillar's $8.6bn deal for Bucyrus – much of whose income is driven by selling equipment to coal miners – that takes the value of coal deals and potential deals this week alone to $15bn.
Everyone, it seems, wants a piece of the action.

Power Consumption Test
Using our PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Coming in at just below 450 Watt during load, we see the new AMD offerings perform extremely strong in the power rating department, considering the performance of the model.
A good quality and branded 650 Watt power supply isn't going to be an issue for this kind of setup.

New Look for No. 25 GMAC Chevrolets in 2006
- Dec 22, 2005
- Team Hendrick
When race car engines officially come to life at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February for the start of the 2006 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season, the fleet of No. 25 GMAC Chevrolets driven by 22-year-old Brian Vickers will have a different look.
Adorned in its new colors, a freshly painted, newly re-designed No. 25 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS was displayed for the first time Dec. 20 during festivities leading up to the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Vickers began his career at Hendrick Motorsports in 2003 behind the wheel of red, white and blue GMAC-sponsored Chevrolets, capturing the first NASCAR Busch Series championship for Hendrick Motorsports that season.
"I have a lot of good memories with the red, white and blue colors from the Busch Series in 2003," said Vickers, who moved to the NEXTEL Cup Series full-time in 2004. "I think the new design looks great and I think others will agree when they see it on the track."
GMAC has been a longstanding corporate partner of Hendrick Motorsports since 1994 and has been a part of each of the nine NASCAR championships earned by the organization.

I have a Croton that's been flowering for several months now non-stop. Not that they're very noticeable, it's a large bush and the flowers are lost amongst the foliage. Some of my Crotons that are larger only flower now and again. Always interesting to see it happening but never noticed any seed set. |

Can 6-9/16 factory applied jambs on a window be installed on a 2 X 4 framing?
If yes, what does one have to do to do accomplish this. Thanks |

- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 19:48
They will project approx 2" into the house depending on your interior finish. |
If the window has applied jamb extensions (4 9/16" with 2" jamb extensions as an example)you should be able to remove the jamb extensions. Usually they are attached with corrugated fasteners or something like that. Just take your time and the window should be fine. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 23, 12 at 10:10
+1 Trim it down or remove it and re-do it. |
- Posted by Firsthome21 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 23, 12 at 20:57
Thanks, If I trim it down or take off the jamb, would it compromise the integrity of the window? I am not much of a handyman, so will ask my framing guy to do it. Do you guys think this would be a annoying request for the framer to strip down 6 windows n install n bigger question would a framer know how to do this? |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (email@example.com) on Fri, Feb 24, 12 at 8:46
No, won't change the window and no, framer should be able to do it quite easily. |
- Posted by Firsthome21 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 26, 12 at 12:13
Is there a guide or video that shows or gives details on how to do this? |
Look at YouTube first but if nothing there, check with either the manufacturer of the window or your local sales rep. It depends on how the jamb extensions have been attached. As I said earlier, it isn't a big deal to remove, just a hassle. |

Pacific mayor taps ex-police chief at center of pepper-spraying incident
Mayor Cy Sun says former University of California-Davis police chief Annette Spicuzza will be in charge while John Calkins is on non-disciplinary leave.
"I'm not looking for in-depth help," Sun said. "What I'm looking for is she will carry us over the crisis that we have now."
Spicuzza made headlines in November, 2011 when she was put on leave as the university's police chief after her officers pepper sprayed demonstrators. Two officers involved in the incident were also placed on leave. Spicuzza says she later retired.
The incident reverberated well beyond the university, with condemnations and defenses of police from elected officials and from the wider public on Facebook and Twitter.
"It went worldwide -- I mean it was international," Spicuzza said. "By the time I woke up that Saturday morning, I had hate mail and death threats from people all over the place."
The protest was held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of California, Berkeley who were jabbed by police with batons earlier that month. Nine students hit by pepper spray were treated at the scene, two were taken to hospitals and later released, university officials said. Ten people were arrested.
Spicuzza will lead a dwindling police force in Pacific, that was down to four officers after Calkins and a lieutenant were placed on leave by Sun on March 22, pending an investigation into what Sun called harassment and intimidation.
"I know I put them on administrative leave to avoid a tremendous liability for the city," Sun said.
The mayor said he couldn't discuss specifics about his decision, but said the move wasn't spurred by a complaint from a resident and is meant to protect the two officers.
"It's an internal safety measure," he said.
Spicuzza said she's still getting acclimated to the situation.
"I don't know if they're in trouble here," she said. "I have no idea. I don't know because I haven't gotten through the doors to really look at things and talk to people. I'm sure the officers have one perspective; citizens have another perspective."
Donald Thompson, who is leading a recall effort against Sun, says the hiring decision is no surprise.
"It's falling in line with all his other selections," Thompson said. "They're either not qualified or have shaded pasts."
Others wondered if the hire was even possible.
"You can't hire somebody for a position that's already currently filled with somebody you've put on paid administrative leave," said Tracey Apata, also working to recall Sun.
Thompson says the timing of Sun's decision actually pretty good for his cause because the State Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on their recall petition Thursday.
Spicuzza is familiar with Western Washington, having formerly served on the University of Washington police force.

A note from the founder:
This product has been in the making for about 8 years. I never spoke much about it because I thought it was too quirky for anyone to take seriously. When I finally got the courage to bring it to the market, I was skeptical, but knew I had to give it a try.
Since the first sale in February of 2012, we have received a lot of positive feedback from people all around the world, many of whom say they have wanted a product like this for years. It's a great feeling to know that our customers take this 'quirky' product seriously and that they are so happy with the results.
Thanks for trying our product.

Tiz an older rv park, well maintained with residential rv-rs too. Tiz quiet and close to stores. Kmart, a thrift shop and Smiths grocers are each within a 100 yards. Tiz quiet. Has grassy areas at each site which our dog enjoyed laying about. Lots of shade trees too. Manager is a friendly and happy guy. Our site was conveniently near the restrooms. This site is also where the sewer dump is. On each of our two days there, a large rv rig came by to use the dump and both times they ran their engines and the diesel smell was kinda bad! But this doesn't take forever!!! In spite of this we would definitely return to this camp. Know that cable/wifi worked well and there is an added charge of $1 per day for cable. - Mtn hiker
Great location. Walking distance to many stores, grocery, etc. Sites are tight, but nice. Lots of trees so your satellite dish may or may not work, so just paid for cable. Easy access to Flaming Gorge and Dinosaur Valley. Would stay here again but would dedicate most of our time to Dinosaur Valley, there is much more to see there than Flaming Gorge area. The people who run this park are really nice. Laundry facilities are clean. - goofy50
On busy highway, shopping and restaurants nearby, and lots of huge shade trees. Handy to Dinosaur NP and other attractions. Helpful management. I would stay here again. - dzwelch

$25 per night was for an unlevel asphalt pad site with full hookups (30 amp electric), covered picnic table, and fire ring. The four full hookup sites (plus one host site) are situated on an unlevel asphalt parking area that are cramped together with connections in inconvenient locations and virtually no place to park a tow vehicle. It was lucky for us that there were few others using the campground during our overnight stay. The electric only sites had a bit more room. The picnic tables and fire rings are on a large grassy area behind the sites. The campground is located on a reservoir, which is great for boating/fishing and beautiful scenery. Vernal is the nearest city and is surprisingly well equipped. AT&T cell service was non-existent. We used our Milliencom jetpack for internet access but it was really slow. There were no OTA TV stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

$28 per night was for a level asphalt pad site with full hookups, picnic table, and fire ring. The campground has many large junipers as well as low growing plants separating the generous sites. The campground scenery is beautiful. The park staff was very friendly and helpful. Vernal is the nearest city and it has a surprising amount of stores/restaurants that most everyone would find adequate. AT&T cell service was two bars of 4G. We used our Milliencom jetpack for internet access as it received three bars of 4G LTE. There were six OTA TV stations. - DD Rolling Ranch
We reserved one of the full hook up sites, and had no problem getting our 36' fifth wheel into the site. Even though the Reserve America site indicated that the length limit was only 30'. Our pull through site was 80' long, although it was curved with the hookups in the middle. My one real criticism of the park is that the water pressure is extremely low. We could only manage about #20 on the water pressure gauge. For a decent shower you may want to fill your water tank and use your on board water pump. I would stay here again. - SargeW
There are a 8 full hookup sites, not all are pull-through, in the upper part of the park CG. There are several power only sites, and the rest are dry camping with CG water supply placed along the road, no hookups. The Camp Host is helpful and friendly. We never did see a ranger the week we were here. Restrooms are clean but there are no showers. Each site does have an aluminum table/benches, some with canopies. There are BBQ's and campfire pits. Not all the pull through sites would accommodate a big rig. The Utah Park Dept had a paving project underway in the boat ramp parking lot and it was noisy and smelly for two days. Make a reservation on line and it costs another $10. The level of the lake is very low. This was a pleasant spot to spend a few days and close enough to Dinosaur National Monument. Good access to services in Vernal. The CG map shows only 31 sites available. - SilverBear

The woman who checked us in was friendly, not the fastest but we were not in a rush. The site was easy to find, large and level. All our gear fit nicely on the site, just note that in July it is HOT and I mean HOT. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained as was the entire campground, except the laundry room, which need a bit of cleaning. We would go back again, but not in July, or August, or June. - alkurta
Very nice park. Pull thru site that was level and had a concrete patio. Nice WiFi. People helpful. Would stay there again. - Bud in Florida
Awful. Freezing cold showers. NO hot water either in the morning or at night in the bathrooms. Constant traffic alllllll night long. Be advised this rv park is attached to a trailer park and there is a whole lot of riff raft coming and going all day and all night. People pulling into and walking up to the bathrooms and showers all night long. Some look like transients. I would never ever stay here again and would advise absolutely nobody to stay here either. Don't let the cute exterior fool you. Once in the RV park this place becomes a nightmare. - Kaykaydoo

Crafted by hand in Honduras, the Maxx is bold and rich, featuring a 4-country filler blend comprised of choice tobaccos from Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Colombia. It's then wrapped in a Costa Rican binder and finished with a dark Nicaraguan maduro wrapper. The MAXX is offered in several unusual sizes, and was one of the pioneers of the big ring gauge trend.
The MAXX starts off bold and spicy. Immediately, its full body is readily apparent. Keeping strength, the profile develops into a complex buffet of cocoa and coffee notes, all the while carrying a solid, earthy core. It's easy to see how this stick made Alec Bradley a household name among cigar smokers.
MAXX makes an ideal cigar for anyone wanting to make the last jump from medium cigars into the full-bodied category. It's strong, but not overpowering. This stick pairs nicely with dark beer, coffee, or full-bodied red wine. Many cigars in the Alec Bradley portfolio seem to pay homage to MAXX in one way or another, such as Prensado and Tempus. From its inception, MAXX was an instant classic.

I bought a used electric pressure washer .When i try to use it there is very little pressure.The unit will run and then once pressure builds it will turn off/on very quickly.i believe it should build pressure the shut off until needed again.Anyone know what the problem is .Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your pressure relief is either mis-adjusted or has internal parts corroded in place. Needless to say, buying used is risky, generally the equipment is poorly maintained. |

Look, Apple CEO Tim Cook is a busy guy. He does lots of important stuff, like announcing that there will be announcements in the future. His time is worth a lot. So CharityBuzz, an online charity auction, is hosting a very generous offer from Mr. Cook: people–rich people, specifically–can bid to have coffee with him at Apple headquarters. The "estimated value" of this presumably hour-long (tops!) outing? $50,000, which is just $2,762 dollars shy of the U.S.'s median household income.
So: pay for a year of your kid's college tuition, or grab a cup of joe with a guy who will pointedly ask you, "So, am I doing as well as Steve? You can be honest."
To be fair, it is for charity. So if you can afford it, pony up! There are already 30 bids, the most recent one topping out at $62,777.

For a cream shadow, Color Coat has its advantages. The quick dry formula is truly crease-proof. You do have to blend it on quickly, but once set, it stays put without fading throughout the day—the truest sign that you've found a cream eyeshadow worth using!
The shade range could use some expansion, and this plus the shine overload is why it missed our top rating. As is, your only choices are shimmering/metallic hues of gold, beige, pink, blue, plum or silver. The shiny finish will exacerbate wrinkles so if that's an issue for you, pass on this. Depending on how thickly you apply them, the shades can go on sheer or deeply saturated with color.
Although not for everyone, if you have a wrinkle-free eye area and can find a shade that suits you, this is an excellent cream shadow that goes the distance.
Since Ulta was founded in 1990, the company has continued to carve out a unique position as a specialty beauty store by offering a large selection of upscale and drugstore cosmetics in all price ranges, all under one roof. There are currently over 675 Ulta locations across the United States, and, like Sephora, Ulta sells its own product line right alongside more familiar brands such as Revlon, Murad, and philosophy.
The Ulta Collection offers a variety of basic makeup products, from foundation to eye shadow to lip gloss. Nearly all items in the Ulta Collection are inexpensive, and its lower price point is a major draw.
As with most cosmetics lines, Ulta has its share of good and bad products; however, it seems for every good to great makeup product the line has two average-to-poor options. Testers may or may not be available, so choose wisely.
Among the safer categories of Ulta makeup are the eyeshadows, many of the mascaras, brow products, and most of the foundations, particularly the cream-to-powder and powder formulas.
Despite our enthusiasm for Ulta's large selection of eyeshadow, the quality is inconsistent, especially when it comes to texture and how they apply, even among different shades in the same category. The best way to shop this line is to pay attention to which products we've reviewed favorably and to take extra time to play with the products in-store (assuming the Ulta you frequent keeps testers available).
In recent years, Ulta has branched out from makeup to skin care. Their namesake skin care has the same affordable price point as the makeup, and some of the products are actually quite good. Skip the cleansers, ignore the moisturizers in jar packaging, and forget about the pore-tightening products...the rest is worth exploring, but again, this is not a brand to shop without some knowledge of what you're buying and how it performs.

Lily Allen's 'Hard Out Here' Video Skewers Robin Thicke's Misogyny
Pop usurper's triumphant return takes crack shots at industry sexism
"Lily Allen has a baggy pussy." Deal with it, America. You chuckled or playfully chided when a certain pop jock declared in balloon letters, "Robin Thicke has a big dick," via the "Blurred Lines" video, and now Britain's former favorite rising daughter is back to test the double standards at play in the music world. Seen above (and excerpted below), her video for brand-new song "Hard Out Here" has its own inflated message to share.
The clip is directed by Christopher Sweeney (Lana Del Ray, Foals, Jessie Ware) and has fun spoofing a litany of music video tropes, from champagne pour-overs to gratuitous twerk-fests. Meanwhile, the hook says it all: "Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits / It's hard out here for a bitch." She also shouts out the glass ceiling, "Inequality promises that it's here to stay / Always trust the injustice 'cos it's not going away."
Meanwhile, the production seems to hark back to Britney Spears' pop-'90s. Allen's last album was 2009's It's Not Me, It's You, which landed her on SPIN's cover. Shortly thereafter, she shared that she might quit music altogether. In the resulting hiatus, Allen married and became a mother. She announced her return to the studio last year, inspiring our piece, "Pop Needs Lily Allen More Than Lily Allen Needs Pop."
She also appeared on Pink's breezy "True Love," and recently covered Keane for John Lewis.

Yesterday Manchester City released their annual financial results, which you can read for yourself here. The takeaway from all this is that City posted losses of £51.6m for the 2012-13 season, down from £97.9m the previous season. The release of course raised questions over City's ability to meet Financial Fair Play requirements, which require clubs to break even if they want to receive their UEFA license allowing them to participate in European competitions like the Champions League.
Now, I'm not going to lie. Talking about Financial Fair Play is very complicated. If I make a slight error here, please let me know as soon as possible and I'll clear it up.
Anyway, City contend they are not likely to fall foul of UEFA's FFP's provisions, and they may not. There are five main reasons for this.
The first involves UEFA's 'acceptable deviation' rule, which will help grandfather in FFP in order for certain clubs to get their books in order. This allows teams to post aggregate losses over two seasons (switching to 3 for the next reporting period), so long as the owners make equity payments to cover them, which shouldn't be a big problem for City. The excellent Swiss Ramble blog has a handy chart to illustrate how it works here. Jake Cohen also produced this handy chart to break it down in Euro amounts by season:
@RWhittall this chart might come in handy for keeping track of monitoring periods / allowable losses pic.twitter.com/az3ygYYLxL
— Jake Cohen (@JakeFCohen) January 30, 2014
The second involves exceptions to FFP's calculation of club spending, in order to promote "good" investments. Again, Swiss Ramble, whose work I have to once again stress is invaluable in understanding how all this works, explains what those exceptions include:
However, there are two major adjustments that need to be made to a club's statutory accounts to get to UEFA's break-even template: (a) remove any exceptional items from [the preceding reporting period], as they should not re-occur (by definition); (b) exclude expenses incurred for "healthy" investment, such as improving the stadium, training facilities or academy, which would lead to losses in the short-term, but will be beneficial for the club in the long-term.
Third, City have also (ingeniously or evilly, depending on your worldview) further reduced their losses through the sale of 'intellectual property' to the tune of £42m. The Independent fills in the details on how that amount is broken down:
The first is the sale of the club's image rights to an external company, which has reaped City £24.5m. The second is the sale of City's services to the other clubs which it owns – the New York FC franchise which it launched last year, along with the new Melbourne Heart franchise and Manchester City Ladies FC. That "sale of intellectual property to related parties" brought the club another £22.45m and is vital to City getting anywhere near complying with Uefa's regime.
No doubt UEFA will want to calculate "fair value" based on the market for these sales, but it's not clear whether City are in the wrong here even though these deals include mutually owned assets. This one is pretty damn murky though.
Fourth, only for this first ever reporting period, UEFA will exclude pre-2010 player wages from the calculation if the clubs are reducing their losses over time. (Daniel Geey explains it all here). This could, according to at least one estimate, reduce expenses for City by a full £80 million in the first FFP reporting period.
Finally, despite all these rules UEFA notes it will make exceptions for clubs that are clearly working to reduce their losses. Despite the creative accounting here, City are clearly working to stay on the very generous 'safe' side of FFP.
@24thminute @RWhittall Doesn't that just go to show that FFP is a waste of time? What's the point if City, PSG, Chelsea are 'compliant'
— Sean (@ArsnlGooner) January 30, 2014
I know. All this is enough to make anyone skeptical about the efficacy of the break even rules if clubs like City are given such a wide berth to meet them. But some things to keep in mind. First, the acceptable deviation for losses is going to shrink gradually over time, dipping somewhere below £30m by 2018-2019. Perhaps UEFA should set a very low amount now in order to further pressure clubs to reduce their losses.
Second, that pre-2010 wage exclusion thing only applies to the first reporting period, so City can't do that again next time. So what appears to be a work-around is in fact only a temporary reprieve.
Third, with regard to those sponsorship deals, often involving companies with close ties to club owners (or owned by club owners), FFP lives and dies on the ability of UEFA to make a judgment call on what deals constitute 'fair value' based on the market and are free from 'significant influence,' which they define as "the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an entity." If FFP can't enforce this rule, than it may as well not exist.
Yet while City's £400 million (in 2011 pounds) sponsorship deal with Etihad over 10 years may seem astronomically high, Arsenal signed a £150 million deal with Puma through 2019, which so far seems not to have a strong whiff of 'significant influence.' The same goes for Nike and Adidas' competition for a deal with Man United. It's not always as clear as cynical fans think it is when it comes to clubs exploiting their brand.
My advice therefore when talking about FFP is to think not only of this season and next season and the one after that, but ten seasons from now.

A Thousand Words for Coco
A new feature on KING-MAG.com
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and what better way to prove that theory than by letting you commenters have your verbal way with a provocative, crazy, sexy, cool picture we find of random celebrities. Whether it's a haiku or an essay, say whatever it is that comes to mind when you look at these pics. You win nothing, but since when did commenters care about anything more than being heard?
This week's "Thousand Words" picture is for Ice-T's main squeeze, Coco, who is seen here at the red carpet premier of I Am Legend.

I was playing keeper and I interpreted the explore action as a single card revealed per action. Where a stack of three cards at one location had to be explored 3 times to reveal all cards. Another player interpreted the rule as all cards are revealed and taken by the exploring player if the lock or obstacle cards are solved or there aren't any there. Which is correct?
Explore action question
Posted 03 March 2011 - 07:21 PM
Posted 03 March 2011 - 07:33 PM
I am pretty sure it is all cards.
Posted 03 March 2011 - 08:15 PM
Yeah, it's all the cards.
Posted 03 March 2011 - 09:41 PM
All card - see page 9 of the Rules of Play section at the top of the right hand column. The Explore action information actually start at the bottom left, but what you are looking for is at the top right.
Posted 03 March 2011 - 10:22 PM
It's all cards, one at a time, unless the cards tell you otherwise. I don't think the last part is likely to come up unless an investigator drops some equipment cards on top of an obstacle card, but I imagine the rule is in this way to allow for future scenarios to have face down items found "freely" and then have a locked suitcase/cabinet/closet/etc. with the remainder "hidden" behind it.
Posted 04 March 2011 - 04:34 AM
Awesome guys, thanks.

I don't know if you know this, but I LOVE little babies. I love the way they smell, the way they sleep, the way they yawn, the way when I take their pictures I get to leave.them.there! ;)
Seriously though, Baby Claire was a DREAM to work with. I moved her, propped her, put hats on her, etc., for 2 hours and never saw her little eyes. She was a trooper!!! It was hard to decide which pictures to share!
Squishy baby!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zeus, a McKinney Boxer/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Labrador Retriever for sale in McKinney, or seeking a Boxer/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney 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 McKinney 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 Boxer/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Boxer/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

Great Hand Cream
By Lucy
from Bancroft
I've used L'Occitane hand creams and skin care products for many years. Great to see them on the Shopping Channel, great bargains. I bought the Pivoine Flora and the Dry Skin cream, both of which are creamy, absorb well and are very nurishing for my dry hands. I do enjoy the mild scents.

Very Disappointed
By Darlene
from Lethbridge, Alberta
What a joke! For that price the tube should have been at least 3 times larger. I love the smell of roses so that is why I am giving it a 3. It definately is no better than the cheap hand creams sold in stores.

I ordered the cherry blossom and was so looking forward to trying this line of hand cream. It had a musky smell that stuck to my skin even after rinsing a few times with another soap. Will not buy these again. I thought this would be a very soft scented had cream. We don't need more perfume with all the chemicals.

I bought the Rose hand cream and it's great! It's absorbded right away and is not greasy. The Rose hand cream smells sooooo good, I keep smelling my hands (which can look weird doing this in public) but I can't help myself. I love it!

About Us
Hello. Howdy. Olá. Thanks for stopping by! We're Chris + Stella and we're Mon Petit Studio.
Mon Petit Studio is a design + photography group owned by Chris & Stella, a husband + wife team based out of the New Hampshire Seacoast.
We met in college while majoring in Graphic Design (Stella) & Film (Chris). After spending a number of years in our industries, our original passions for photography crept back in. This was especially evident during our own Halloween wedding in 2009 when we found ourselves wishing that we could snap some shots of our big day.
Photography, to us, is all about capturing a "visual story" and documenting true and natural emotions. We focus on creating comfortable & fun sessions with our couples so that we can bring out their best and tell their unique story to the world. During our initial meeting with our couples we ask about how they met, what their future dreams are, their favorite things about each other, etc. This not only helps us tell their visual story, it allows us to learn about who they are and get really comfortable with each other. By the time we're ready to shoot, we're like old friends! <— Ha! By the Way: This is hardly a stretch. We have turned some really great clients into really great friends!
An engagement shoot is especially important to us as it allows our couples to get really comfortable in front of the camera before their big day {this combats any of those stuffy kind of pics we all hate} and it also allows us to spend the day really getting to know them on a more personal level.
So that's all about us… in a nutshell. We'd love to meet YOU.
Don't forget to follow us on Facebook + Twitter for daily goodies and eye candy!
We were recently featured in a vendor spotlight with Seacoast Harbor Events, where we answered some great questions asked by Heidi. We thought this would be a great place to share them too!
See the feature here.
Heidi: What would you say is Mon Petit Studio's unique style in capturing a Wedding day?
Stella and Chris: We are "A Husband + Wife Team of Photographic Storytellers" and we take that to heart! We like to roll with the day and follow our couples, documenting various moments that unfold throughout their Wedding day. These little moments, combined with details, are what truly tell your Wedding day story. From a technical perspective: Our style is mostly Photo Journalistic with a hint of Natural Portraiture. This means that we like to capture those perfectly candid moments, the moments that show raw emotion – smiles, laughter, and tears {of joy, of course} – while simultaneously assisting our couples with posing techniques that bring out their natural beauty.
Heidi: Is there one piece of advice that you would give a Bride & Groom for their day when it comes to preparing for their Wedding day and photos?
Stella and Chris: Yes! Planning a Wedding is a lot of work but by the time your big day rolls around, it's time to let go and truly enjoy the celebration. The vendors you've selected are there to bring your vision to life and it's finally your turn to relax. When you're stressed, it shows, so just enjoy your day and take in all of the beautiful moments to cherish. The truth of the matter is, if the napkins end up being the wrong shade of blue, your guests won't notice… but your glowing smile… yeah, they'll notice that!
Heidi: Are there any Wedding trends or styles you are loving right now in photos?
Stella and Chris: A very new Wedding trend that we're seeing lately {and we have to be honest… we're kind of in love with it} is the Bride & Groom getting ready TOGETHER! While this may be frowned upon by the most traditional types of Brides it can be an opportunity to document some truly intimate and unique moments between the couple. The Groom's expression gazing at his Bride while she gets her dress on, the Bride adjusting the Groom's tie, the Groom slipping on her shoes, and finally… both of them walking off together to say their "I Do's" – it's all oh-so-lovely. If you're a Bride thinking to yourself, "Well, this is just crazy!"… Think about it this way: When "First Looks" started to pop up in the Wedding world, some couples freaked about those too… until they realized just how totally awesome they can be. Long story short: We really think we'll be seeing more of these types of moments!
Heidi: How far in advance should a couple book their Wedding photographer?
Stella and Chris: While most photographers probably vary in this department, we at Mon Petit Studio typically book our Weddings 1 to 2 years in advance. This doesn't mean that we haven't booked a Wedding on short notice before, but we're less likely to be available within the same year of inquiry. To provide the most dedicated service to our couples, we only accept a limited number of Weddings per year, this typically means that our calendar fills up fast.
Heidi: You have been featured in a number of Wedding magazines and blogs; Style Me Pretty, Seacoast Weddings Magazine, Grace Ormonde Weddings, Real Simple, NH Weddings Magazine, etc. In your opinion, what makes for great Wedding photos?
Stella and Chris: To be honest: It's all about happiness. We've said before and we'll say it again, we get to work with the best couples! Happiness is contagious, beautiful, and photographs perfectly. Your wedding day is filled with happiness and as long as you're happy too, your photos will show all of that goodness.

Welcome to Crab Island.... an underwater boating and party island located on the North side of the Destin bridge. As you cross the Destin bridge, from April to November you will see anywhere from 10 to 200 boats anchored in the bay. This is where the locals anchor to spend the day swimming, snorkeling, and playing football. Yes....football as well as Frisbee and volleyball. Crab Island ranges from 2—10 feet deep... depending on where you anchor.
Bring money... During the summer season there is a restaurant/snack barge selling hamburgers and fast food. They also have a huge water trampoline. By boat, vendors sell Ice cream, boiled peanuts, and steam shrimp.
Holiday weekends are a little crazy on Crab Island... look out for the locals.

This has been my HG powder foundation for over ten years. The color range is small, but it applies beautifully and makes my combo skin look good. I have every color of this for different seasons and it's never let me down.
During the summer months, this will keep my face from getting oily and never separates like some liquid foundations do. Coverage can be built up from light to heavy and this stuff really covers all imperfections to the point where you don't need concealer. It makes skin look good with a matte finish. I would compare it to NARS Sheer Glow and even promise that it's the powder foundation version of it....and has even better coverage. Never settles into pores or wrinkles. People say I have great skin when I have this on. I have horrible skin. It's just this product that fakes perfect skin for me. Couldn't live without it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Good quality, fine-milled and silky-feeling. its a natural finish 2n1 wet or dry foundation that lets the glow through. Its recommended for normal and combination skin, has SPF16 sun protection, mushroom extracts, and is supposedly anti-aging formulated. I apply mine dry with a mineral kabuki brush, its quick and looks smooth and even. I like how I can vary the coverage from light up to medium without loosing the "true skin" natural look and feel. I also put a thicker layer as an under-eye concealer using an everyday minerals eye kabuki brush, and it doesn't cake nor show up wrinkles anywhere. I appreciate how it sticks to my skin evenly all day without wearing off or changing color!! I do need to touch-up or oil blot the T-zone though, as it lets the oil break-through.
COLORS: #13 Light Beige, #21 Natural Beige, #23 True Beige, #31 Deep Beige). Only 4 shades, but I thought they were well formulated natural skin colors. I tried 23 true beige was neutral but with just enough yellow/gold to add a touch of warm color. No wierd pink or orange tones
I think it has been discontinued, and replaced with a new twincake in a round compact, "Small & Smooth S.S. Conditioning Twin Cake", in exactly the same colors, but with more moisturising formuation and SPF24. This is a Korean brand and it is good quality. If it was sold in my country I'd consider buying again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have this in Light Beige, and my mom bought this from South Korea. It gives a very natural and light coverage using the sponge pad it comes with or MAC 187 Stippling Brush. I find that this doesn't control oil very well (if it doesn't control it during fall, doubt it'll control in the summer) but I do like the natural coverage. I wouldn't buy this with my own pocket money - prefer loose powders instead - but I would use it if given another one.

For the past two years, women entering the Columbia Triathlon have been asked to check yes or no to the following question: If necessary, would you accept an Athena award?
Imagine. You win an award but refuse to accept it--not out of deep political conviction, but for fear someone will see the award on your mantelpiece and discover your (hidden?) fatness. For that matter, if you are going to go ahead and tell your weight to strangers, why not just be called a Clydesdale and be done with it? How does being labeled a Greek goddess or a gangster's girlfriend sweeten the deal?
It is all very female and neurotic, and I am feeling very tolerant and superior until I remember that, at this year's Mount Taylor Winter Quadrathlon in New Mexico, I could have competed in something called the Horsepower Contest but didn't. Why? Because competition means nothing to me and I did not covet the beautiful silver piston offered as an award? No, it was because my weight would be announced out loud, after which I would race for seven hours--an amount of time I did not want to spend listening to a nagging inner voice repeating: You're fat, you're fat, you're fat.
"But food has so much control over people," says Danelle Ballengee, a world-famous Colorado triathlete who should not have to worry about this at all. In winning the World's Toughest Triathlon for the second time, she had to bicycle fast enough to get away from a very real, and very interested, bear. But that did not scare her as much as the thought of five extra pounds.
"In running," she explains, "if I gain weight, I tend to be more prone to injuries, whereas I get stronger in my biking and swimming. One-fifteen to one-twenty is about right for me, and I struggle with it. I love to eat, and I love to eat junk, and controlling that is the hardest part of my training."
Ballengee qualified for the Olympic Marathon trials this year, has won the Mount Taylor Winter Quadrathlon and the Pikes Peak Marathon and works full time as a fitness trainer. This is her second year as director of the Evergreen Multi-Sport Festival, which includes five separate on-road and off-road duathlons and triathlons, including the one I entered.
Like any other race director in the country, Ballengee is familiar with the Clydesdale concept. "We had a great turnout last year," she says. "Road bikes and mountain bikes. It was very popular."
"What about Athenas?" I ask.
"Let me see," she says. "Oh. We had no Athenas. None. Not knowing what I was doing, I may have put the weight limit too high. I made it 165. This year it's 150."
"Do you have any Athenas yet for this year?"
"Hold on a second. Yes! We have two!"
Two? That's me and--Potts? I hope so. But when I call to ask, she says she won't be running the Evergreen duathlon. A half-marathon of 13.2 miles is her limit, she explains; she doesn't have time for more. Still, this could be the start of something big, and Potts welcomes the unknown Athena to our ranks.
"Because, you know, I am pretty large," she says, "and there is always someone yelling at me to run around the block a few more times, and sometimes it gets discouraging and I think about giving it up.
"But then," she adds, "I think: The hell with you. I can run a good fifteen, twenty miles when I feel like it. Can you?

iAmend: Mock Constitutional Amendment Process
Participants will learn about the United States Constitution and how our Founders planned our amendment process. Participants will start out as legislators as they seek to pass proposed constitutional amendments. They will draft proposed constitutional amendments in small caucuses, and then seek to have their party endorse their amendments. They will then go into a legislative session to debate and vote on their proposed amendments. Next, they will lobby conference attendees to vote for or against their proposed constitutional amendments, and the teen track will culminate in the parents (representing the states) voting whether to ratify the Constitutional amendments. The teen track will close with information on how teen participants can get involved in the actual fight for a parental rights amendment to the constitution (see www.parentalrights.org).
This program features an interactive program, even getting parents and other attendees involved in the process. Teens will enjoy the hands-on nature of the program as they learn how the U.S. Constitution can be amended and why that is sometimes necessary. Generation Joshua staff will intersperse educational lectures with the program, including discussion about the proposed parental rights amendment.
NOTE: iAmend requires that during scheduled breaks the students attending the teen track will leave their assigned room(s) to interact with the adults in the vendor hall and attending the conference regarding the ratification vote of the proposed amendments.
iAmend Sample Schedule
"Ya'll are doing something that desperately needs to be done—making teens think about politics; and you're doing it in the best way I've ever seen." Participant, Age 16, CA

Olympic Round Up: All The Gear You'll Be Seeing at The Sochi Games
With each new Olympics, comes a new slew of gear. Ranging from apparel to performance equipment, the Olympics has become as much of a showcase for new gear than it has a competition. Luckily, we have you covered with all the new gear that athletes will be rocking over the next two weeks in Sochi.
However, just like the athletes in the actual competitions, not all gear designs can be winners. Click through the slides to see which gear gets the gold and which falls short of the medal stand.

Blizzard: Yup, SWTOR impacted WOW subscriptions
Subs down 100K since November.
BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG may not have blown the sales charts off the table, but it has managed to smuggle in a large part of the World of Warcraft subscribers. These are not our worlds (we would never claim so blatantly unless paid), but of WoW producer John Lagrave.
Blizzard has lost about 100,000 subscribers since November 2011, he confirmed.
"We certainly do look at [where WoW players go], and we have a very smart bunch of guys who do our analytics for us," Lagrave told Eurogamer. "Of course people are trying Star Wars; our development team are trying Star Wars! I'm one of the few people who's still playing it, actually. But yeah, we've seen a dip in subs. It certainly has to at least be attributable to The Old Republic, but it's also attributable to people who want to wait and get Mists of Pandaria, so it's not surprising."
Interestingly, Lagrave revealed, Skyrim was a major distraction for WoW players when the Bethesda's RPG released back in November, but it didn't cause too many subscriptions loses.
As for the current lvl20 free-to-play cap, Blizzard does have plans to raise that bar slightly higher but not "right now".
"Right now we're very happy with the subscription system with World of Warcraft," he said. "We think it works very well."
Blizzard is now prepping Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft. There is no release date for it yet, however.

Navistar LPGA Classic
RTJ Trail at Capitol Hill, Senator
Prattville, Alabama
September 12-18, 2011
The World's Best Coming to the River Region
The star-studded field features Rolex Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng, No. 2 Suzann Pettersen, No. 3 Cristie Kerr, No. 4 Na Yeon Choi, No. 8 Paula Creamer, No. 9 Brittany Lincicome, No. 10 I.K. Kim, No. 11 Stacy Lewis and No. 12 Michelle Wie. Tseng, who looks to capture her sixth LPGA tournament and ninth tournament victory world-wide this year, headlines the field which also includes two-time LPGA Tour winner and Navistar defending champion Katherine Hull, 2007 Navistar champion Maria Hjorth, LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame members Juli Inkster and Se Ri Pak, all 12 U.S. Solheim Cup team members, and eight of 12 European Solheim Cup team members.
The Unstoppable Tseng
Rolex Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng continued her domination on the course with her fifth LPGA win of the season at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Presented by P&G. The 22-year-old, who has posted eight wins worldwide in 2011, became the youngest player, male or female, to win five major titles in August at the RICOH Women's British Open. In all, she has 10 LPGA victories in her four-year career. The forceful Tseng has held the No. 1 position in the Rolex Rankings for 30 consecutive weeks and she is poised to sweep the year-end LPGA awards. She currently holds the lead in the Rolex Player of the Year race (which she also won in 2010), the contest for the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average and the LPGA money list. Heading into the Navistar LPGA Classic Tseng has a remarkable $767,835 dollar lead over Cristie Kerr on the money list, a 149 point lead over Stacy Lewis in the Rolex Player of the Year race, and a .76 stroke advantage over Kerr in the Vare Trophy contest. Statistically Tseng is top of the class in seven different categories including birdies, rounds under par, rounds in the 60s, top-10 finishes, greens hit, scoring and driving distance (268.4). Add a ranking of third in putts per green and regulation and Tseng's winning formula is complete.
Kerr is a Constant
14-time LPGA tour winner and top-ranked American Cristie Kerr continues to be a constant presence atop LPGA leaderboards. Despite not yet winning in 2011, Kerr has posted a remarkable nine top-4 finishes this season including a tie for 4th at the CN Canadian Women's Open and a solo fourth at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship in her last two starts. She ran an incredible mid-summer stretch with five consecutive weeks in the top three – 2nd Sybase Match Play; T-2 ShopRite LPGA Classic; 2nd State Farm LPGA Classic; T-3 Wegmans LPGA Championship; 3rd U.S. Women's Open. Kerr currently ranks second in birdies, second in the race for the Vare Trophy with a scoring average of 70.35, and third in Rolex Player of the Year points. Kerr, who was voted the best putter on the LPGA Tour by her peers in Golf Digest Magazine, leads the Tour in putts per greens in regulation (1.74). She has already surpassed the $1 million mark in season earnings for the eighth consecutive year.
Lincicome Reaches a Milestone
Five-time winner Brittany Lincicome followed up her second win of the season with a tie for 10th in Arkansas pushing her over the $1 million mark for single-season earnings for the first time in her career. Lincicome is enjoying her best-ever season on the LPGA Tour with two wins, the ShopRite LPGA Classic and CN Canadian Women's' Open, a tie for second at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup and a tie for third at the State Farm LPGA Classic. Lincicome is the only American so far this season to post two wins. The long-hitting Lincicome, nicknamed "Bam Bam", sings to keep herself loose on the course, loves to fish, and has kept her game sharp this season by competing in men's mini-tour events on her off weeks. Lincicome's rounds of 71-66-69 in Arkansas lowered her scoring average to 70.91 ranking her fifth in the race for the Vare Trophy.
Jennifer Johnson Steps Up
LPGA Tour rookie Jennifer Johnson has made the most of her first-year campaign and now she is taking the time to give back. Earlier this season, Johnson played for the Wounded Warrior Project at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup and she has since partnered with Navistar to help raise awareness for the cause. Johnson will play a practice round Tuesday with two Wounded Warriors – Dan Nevins and Joe Caley – both who suffered brain injuries in Iraq. Nevins continues to play golf despite the loss of both his legs. Johnson will also donate half of her Navistar LPGA Classic earnings to the cause. Johnson, who began the season with Category 20 status, has moved her way up the list via some good play and the reshuffle. Johnson has made six of nine cuts this year with a season-best tie for 12th at the CN Canadian Women's Open. She currently sits No. 70 on the LPGA money list.
Lexi Returns
Sixteen-year old professional Lexi Thompson returns to the Navistar LPGA Classic as a sponsor's invite for the third consecutive year. Thompson finished tied for 16th in the event last year. She held a share of the 36-hole lead at the 2009 event as a 14-year old amateur to finish in an eventual tie for 27th. Thompson, who recently won Stage I of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament by 10 shots, looks to improve on her LPGA season-best T-19 at the Avnet LPGA Classic. Her LPGA career-best is tie for 2nd at the 2010 Evian Masters.
NYC Continues Top-10 Streak
2010 Vare Trophy winner Na Yeon Choi, nicknamed "NYC", has yet to win in 2011, but the talented South Korean player may be on the verge of capturing her fifth career LPGA title. Choi, who also led the 2010 LPGA official money list, has finished in the top 10 in her last four starts including a runner-up finish to Suzann Pettersen at the Safeway Classic. In an attempt to capture her second consecutive Vare Trophy, Choi's stroke average has been steadily dropping. She is currently ninth in the race with a scoring average of 70.98. Choi also ranks seventh in birdies, a category which she led in 2010. A perfectionist on the course, outside the ropes Choi has been striving to perfect her language skills this year, traveling with a private tutor.
Belen Makes Her Mark
LPGA Tour rookie Belen Mozo made a quantum leap up the money list with a season-best tie for fifth at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. It was the first top 10 for the Spaniard who graduated in 2010 from the University of Southern California. The finish will assure Mozo playing status for the 2012 LPGA Tour season. Prior to the Safeway Classic several weeks ago Mozo had struggled in her rookie campaign missing seven cuts in her first nine starts, but she recently found her form cashing checks in her last three starts. A solid ball-striker with added length off the tee, Mozo ranks 28th in greens in regulation and 14th in driving distance with an average of 261.6 yards.
Solheim Send- Off
All 12 of the U.S. Solheim Cup team members and 8 of the 12 European Solheim Cup members will gear up for the biennial match this week in Alabama. There will be a send-off ceremony for the teams Sunday after play. Solheim Cup team members to watch this week are top-ranked Americans Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome, top-ranked European players Suzann Pettersen, Sophie Gustafson and 2007 Navistar champion Maria Hjorth, American Juli Inkster, the oldest player to ever qualify for a Solheim or Ryder Cup team and first-ever playing assistant captain in Solheim Cup history and Solheim Cup rookies – Vicky Hurst, Stacy Lewis and Ryann O'Toole for Team U.S. A. and Sandra Gal, Christel Boeljon and Azahara Munoz for Team Europe.
American Resurgence
American players currently occupy six of the top-12 positions on the LPGA money list, a marked improvement over 2010. The American contingent is led by 14-time LPGA Tour winner Cristie Kerr who is currently second on the money list. 2011 Kraft Nabisco champion Stacy Lewis is third, two-time winner this season Brittany Lincicome is fifth, veteran Angela Stanford is seventh, 2010 U.S. Women's Open winner Paula Creamer is ninth and two-time LPGA career winner Morgan Pressel is 12th. Only three Americans – Kerr, Creamer and Michelle Wie – finished the 2010 LPGA season in the top 12 on the LPGA money list.
Stacy P's Last Call
Two-time LPGA Tour winner Stacy Prammanasudh will tee-it-up for the final time this season prior to taking maternity for the birth of her first child. Prammanasudh, who fired at career-low 63 in the opening round of the inaugural Navistar LPGA Classic in 2007, is one of six active LPGA players to either give birth or be pregnant in 2011. Janice Moodie, Karine Icher, Mikaela Parmlid, Jeong Jang and Nicole Castrale are the others with Jang and Castrale due later this year. Add retired players Annika Sorenstam, Lorena Ochoa and Rachel Hetherington to that mix and the LPGA Tour may just be undergoing a baby boom!
Sister-state Favorites
Several LPGA players in this week's field left a collegiate golf mark playing for rival programs in Alabama and Mississippi including Nicole Hage (Auburn University – 2007 communications), Jenny Suh (University of Alabama – 2007 communications and public relations), Dori Carter (University of Mississippi – 2009 Business Management) and Shasta Averyhardt (Jackson State – 2008 Accounting)
Pressel Gives Back
Two-time LPGA Tour winner Morgan Pressel will host an LPGA-USGA Girls Golf clinic in conjunction with RBC Monday at Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. Pressel, who is gearing up for her third Solheim Cup appearance, was first introduced to the game through Girls Golf which provides opportunities for young girls to learn all areas of the game including the values inherent in the sport itself - patience, perseverance, honesty and respect. Pressel has posted five top-10 finishes in 2011 with a season-best runner-up at the Wegmans LPGA Championship.
Money List Scramble
The Navistar LPGA Classic is the last standard eligibility tournament of the season and the final domestic tournament before the LPGA Tour heads to Asia for five tournaments. This week will be the final opportunity for many players to secure LPGA playing status for 2012. The top-125 finishers on the LPGA official money list will earn a place on the 2012 LPGA Priority List. The higher a player finishes the more starts she will have next season. Players falling outside of the top 125 will be faced with a return trip to Stage III of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament. Notable players currently outside the top 125 are two-time LPGA Tour winners Jennifer Rosales and Ji Young Oh, 2005 U.S. Women's Open champion Birdie Kim and LPGA veterans Dina Ammaccapane and Mhairi McKay.
Come One, Come All!
Navistar is leaving its mark on the LPGA and the River Region this week by providing free admission to all fans. In an effort to raise awareness and funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, the tournament charity, fans are asked to consider making a donation to the cause upon entrance. Not only will this initiative raise needed funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, but it will also encourage new fans to come and enjoy the LPGA experience.
Monaco RV Rally
The Monaco RV LPGA Rally will once again hit the Navistar LPGA Classic. Admission to the Rally is free and open to anyone who has an RV. The Rally includes four nights dry camping, tournament tickets, entertainment, catered meals and cocktail hours. Several Monaco RV's will be stationed at Capitol Hill for fans and guests to tour. In addition, player pre-tournament press conferences will be held inside the state-of-the art RVs with the LPGA player in the driver's seat.

20th Anniversary of RTJ Trail in 2012
The RTJ Trail is gearing up for its 20th anniversary in 2012 with upgrades to all 11 of its properties. The Senator Course recently underwent a renovation to resurface all 18 green complexes with Champion Bermuda Grass. The fifth hole was also re-designed to create a more exciting, dramatic hole by enticing more players to go for the par-5 in two. The course re-opens this week for the Navistar LPGA Classic.
Navistar Brings in the Trucks
