Monster Mini Golf welcomes guests of all ages with 18 holes of spooky, glow-in-the-dark fun. Fog machines, colorful lasers, and special effects lighting surround the custom-designed indoor course. Meanwhile, an energetic soundtrack of 70s, 80s, and 90s party music keeps spirits high as the visitors conquer each hole?s monster-themed obstacles and hazards. In between songs, the course DJ pumps up the crowds with interactive games and trivia questions, rewarding lucky winners with take-home prizes. Groups of family and friends can return to one of the private party rooms once they finish the course or they can visit Monster Mini Golf?s arcade and play on the glowing air hockey tables, skee ball machines, and other games.
A stone-lined creek and two ponds shape the layout at Cool Lake Golf Club, where golfers meander through a 6,008-yard circuit of 18 tricky greens. The creek cuts across four holes on the front nine before fanning out in a wishbone pattern on the back three, where it imperils the lives of golf balls and paper boats fashioned from scorecards. The longest hole on the course—the 590-yard, par-five fifth—is also the most difficult, featuring a dog-leg left and a second shot that must clear the creek to set up an approach. Before beginning their round, golfers can loosen up by hitting balls at the range or turning the ball-washer crank for several hours.
Course at a Glance: * Par 70 course from the back tees * Four sets of tees * Length of 6,008 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 68.8 from the back tees * Slope rating of 117 from the back tees * Scorecard
Twin Bridges Golf Club's 250-acre Robert Lohmann–designed course regales sphere slingers with picturesque views of the neighboring White Lick Creek and the emerald foliage of nearby copses. Holes on the front nine showcase large greens and fescue-lined bent-grass fairways, and the back nine rolls over hills with greens closely patrolled by sand traps, waterways, and burrowing Pacmen. This oasis of recreation remains open to the general public and features year-round play.
Mark Weghorst knows a thing or two about developing a sound golf game—the Carmel native played golf at Brebeuf Jesuit and went on to win the Mid-American Conference tournament as an individual while playing at Ohio's Miami University. After competing on several professional mini tours, Mark has returned to the Indianapolis area to help other golfers fine-tune their games. During lessons, golfers correct any flaws in their swings from Mark's feedback, aided with V1 Pro video swing analysis and the trackman launch monitor . His lessons put to use all of the amenities at Zionsville Golf Practice Center, which has a driving range with heated stalls, a wedge range for short-game practice, and a plane board—a training device that helps golfers break the habit of slicing a shot into another dimension.
The certified fitness trainers at KS Platinum Sports Performance have one goal: to train each person who enters their gym to reach their full fitness potential. They helm programs tailored to whipping athletes into shape that focus on honing their bodies for their specific athletic endeavor, whether it be golfing, playing football, or participating in a hot-dog-eating contest. In group boot-camp-style classes and one-on-one training sessions, they motivate nonathletes to build their overall strength and shed pounds. The trainers strive to cultivate an environment of friendly competition among their charges, touting the proverb, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
When designer Robert Trent Jones Jr. made Prairie View Golf Club his first Indiana project in 1997, he peppered 18 holes across 206 acres of natural beauty. His design hugs the White River, which rings the course on three sides, but only interferes with shots at four holes. Native grasses trim the entire perimeter of the former soybean- and cornfields, while oak, sycamore beech, and cottonwood trees surround the back nine holes. But the natural obstacles pale in comparison to the manmade impediments ? 90 sand traps, including one that stretches 135 yards, make the par-72 course a challenge for even the most avid golfer. Creative flagstick positioning invites visitors to modify their technique for approach shots, with an emphasis on precision rather than power, much like surgically extracting a swallowed engagement ring.
For some added muscle on the course, patrons can practice swings at golf lessons or map out a plan of attack over a meal at The Covered Wagon, which overlooks the course.

A famous British couple is suing the Church of England so they can get married there.
The United Kingdom's new same-sex marriage law forbids the Church of England from performing same-sex weddings, and it says churches don't have to do them if they don't want to.
But Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 42, and his partner, Tony, 49, said they want to get married in their church, the Church of England, and the only way to make that happen is by a lawsuit.
The Coalition for Marriage, which led opposition to the law, indicated they're dismayed by the lawsuit -- but not surprised.
"The ink's not even dry on the bill and churches are already facing litigation," the Religious News Service quoted Coalition for Marriage Director Colin Hart. "We warned Mr. Cameron (Britain's prime minister) this would happen. We told him he was making promises that he couldn't possibly keep. He didn't listen."
"Mr. Cameron's chickens are coming home to roost," he continued. "And it will be ordinary people with a religious belief who yet again fall victim to the totalitarian forces of political correctness."

After almost a year of speculation, the Gothamist Web site now says that Apple has finalized the location for a Brooklyn (NYC) retail store, at 176 Bedford Avenue, formerly occupied by the Salvation Army thrift store. The run-down building on the northwest corner at North 7th Street has a 60-foot frontage and 40-foot depth, and occupies three levels over part of the lot. The building dates back to the early 1900s and hasn't been renovated in many years. Based on its original red-brick construction, if it does become an Apple store, it would be demolished and re-built. Take a walk along Bedford Avenue on the Big Map Web site to get a feel for the area.

I know brooklyn very well, and I know apple very well. I can tell you, there is no way that Apple would put a sore on bedford ave. Apple would go for Metrotech center or Brooklyn Waterfront, or perhaps even Brooklyn College area. Bedford Ave location IS fairly close to downtown, but not good enough for Apple (security, crime,), . They should consider also livingston st , or hoyt street, near Brooklyn Tabernacle and polytechnic University, they could also try to get space at barclay's arena, Future Home of New York (brooklyn :0) NETS NBA Team

Well I think an apple store here would be only beneficial. It would help clean up the area and make it feel safer and will encourage others to do the same.
- October 7, 2008 at 1300
In my opinion, this strip of Bedford is not only the hippest part of Brooklyn (that is FULL of Apple users) but it is also safer and far more ideal than the spots that Nikato mentioned previously. The retail spaces in Downtown Brooklyn are larger but the demographics don't fit.. AT ALL. Look who shops around there: Its all cheap fast food and various high-end ghetto crap. And I just don't see Apple moving into Atlantic Center. Haha, that would be a disaster. Apple's high retail standards would never allow it.
Williamsburg is an ideal spot for an Apple Store. Still, I'm not sure how they'd fit a store on that Salvation Army lot. Could be a good place for a store focused on service vs. a flagship/showroom type of store.
Where is this "Bedford is unsafe" stuff coming from anyway? The only crimes committed there nowadays are fashion crimes. har har.

Santa Rosa Skate Park
RRM Design Group, along with skate park consultant Wormhoudt Inc., worked with the City of San Luis Obispo and the local Skate Park Committee to develop a 15,000 sf, in-ground concrete park. Recognizing that the skate park was only one component of the overall recreational experience within the Santa Rosa Park, RRM shaped the skate park into a flexible, multi-use facility that the entire community could enjoy. Some of the key design features include: flexible plaza space designed to accommodate vendors, events, and bleacher seating; a raised platform that could be used as a stage with an informal amphitheater for awards ceremonies, music, or movies in the park; a perimeter walk with built-in seating; and an entry feature designed to incorporate public art to express the skate culture. The City Council approved the plan in January 2009.

Make your Firefox browser blazingly fast by using these eight tweaks. They're so simple even, I can do them.
Oh, about that caution splash that says something about "warranty," (I didn't really read it) just click "OK." It will be alright, I promise. You have to descend into the bowels of Firefox, but it's all spelled out very carefully.
1. Enable pipelining
2. Render quickly
3. Faster loading
4. No interruptions
5. Block Flash (I didn't do this because Flash is my friend)
6. Increase the cache size
7. Enable TraceMonkey (I didn't do this either because I wasn't in the mood for monkey business)
8. Compress data (nope, I don't know POP, parent proxies, IMAP and all that stuff.)
I've been running with these tweaks all morning and FF is faster and stabler.

Hi Linda, Those are nice healthy violets. You're definitely doing something right. Teen, African violets really are quite easy. Most people's downfall is watering them too often. If you ever have success with one, you will be hooked for life. Larry |

Hey Linda, They really are beautiful! But also they looks so impeccably clean & well groomed, I am just awed by that. I've dabbled in growing them for some years, I grow them OK, propagate them well & give to others to bloom (like my sister). Only now that I've bought some cheap ones just to enjoy the bloom, that I'm growing them better, on wicks. Violets like yours are what I'd like to be able to grow Linda, really inspirational. Thanks for showing them to us. |

Austin Cinematic Limits: So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night…
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on November 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs many of you probably know, I have been juggling an all-consuming day job with various writing gigs, essentially leaving no time for anything else (life, sleep); and, as the saying goes, all work and no play makes Don a dull boy. We have enough Jack Torrance's in this world, and before I start running around abandoned hotels with an ax, I figured it was in my best interest to start hacking away at my current workload.
Surveying Austin's Cinematic Limits with Ex-Austinite Todd Berger
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on November 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA New Orleans native, writer-director Todd Berger moved to Austin to attend The University of Texas. After graduating from UT's Radio-Television-Film program, Berger was quickly swept away to the always sunny shores of Los Angeles. With The Scenesters (2009) and It's a Disaster (2012), Berger has become yet another success story to come out of UT's film program; and even though he did not spend very much time in Austin, Berger has maintained very strong ties with the Austin film community. So, when we heard that Berger was coming to Austin for the regional premiere of his latest directorial effort, It's a Disaster, at the 2012 Austin Film Festival we thought it would be fun to get his outsider perspective on the Austin…

[1222] Gamma Heavy Chain Disease: A Morphologic and Immunophenotypic Study of 10 Cases Including Bone Marrow, Lymph Nodes, and Spleen.
Shannon Bieliauskas, Chris Bacon, Kathryn Foucar, Sarah Gibson, Steven Kroft, Camellia Eshoa, Steven H Swerdlow, James R Cook. Cleveland Clinic, OH; Newcastle Univ., Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom; Univ. of New Mexico, Albuquerque; Univ. of Pittsburgh, PA; Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; Columbia St. Mary's Hospital, Milwaukee, WI
Background: Gamma heavy chain disease (γHCD) is defined as a lymphoplasmacytic neoplasm that produces an abnormally truncated IgG heavy chain (HC) protein that lacks associated light chains (LCs). There is scant information in the literature regarding the detailed morphologic findings in this rare disorder, although cases are reported to often resemble lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL). This study reports the clinical, morphologic and immunophenotypic findings in 10 cases of γHCD.
Design: Bone marrow (BM) biopsies (n=10), lymph nodes (LN) or extramedullary biopsies (n=7), and spleens (n=3) from 10 patients (pts) with serum IgG HC without LCs were reviewed.
Results: The median age was 55 (range 39-77 yrs) and 9 pts were female. 6 had a history of autoimmune disease and 2 had coexisting clonal LGL disorders. 6 pts displayed similar morphologic features in LN and spleen: architectural effacement by a diffuse and/or interfollicular proliferation of predominantly plasmacytoid cells, plasma cells (PCs) and histiocytes. By IHC, PCs were IgG+ and LC- in 8 cases, 1 case showed weak cytoplasmic monotypic LC, and 1 case was LC restricted by ISH but LC- by IHC. 4 cases resembled typical examples of IgM+ LPL/WM, SMZL, splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma, or MGUS, with at least a subset of neoplastic cells being IgG+ LC-. BM biopsies included 1 with an overt B-cell lymphoma (IgM+ LPL) and 4/7 cases had few LC- B-cells noted by flow cytometry. In 1 case, PCs were 13% with clearly identified CD138+IgG+ LC- forms, while the remainder showed up to 10% PCs that appeared predominantly polytypic, although LC- PCs were difficult to exclude.
Conclusions: Extramedullary γHCD most commonly is a proliferation of predominantly plasmacytoid cells and PCs. Careful attention to IHC to identify LC- PCs and correlation with immunofixation data is critical to making this diagnosis. Most cases do not resemble the classic forms of LPL/WM, but there is overlap with cases reported as "vaguely nodular, polymorphous" LPL versus marginal zone lymphoma. Importantly, there is morphologic heterogeneity and at least some cases resemble typical examples of other entities, suggesting that the γHCD abnormality may be acquired in multiple lymphoproliferative disorders rather than representing one homogeneous entity.

By Chas Reilly - email@example.com, (219) 662-5324
GARY | Linus Scott always has been dedicated to his family, work and to helping others.
"Whatever he was involved in, he gave his all," Scott's daughter Dr. Karen Jones said.
The 99-year-old Gary resident's devotion to others has helped him become a nominee for the annual Drum Major Award, which is presented by the Gary Frontiers Service Club.
Scott worked as a Pullman railroad car porter for 35 years. He enjoyed the job, and sometimes worked in cars that hauled soldiers across the country.
He also worked for Sante Fe Railway and Amtrak after the Pullman Co. closed. Scott's commitment to his job resulted in him missing only one day of work during his career, his daughter said.
The travel involved with working as a Pullman porter meant Scott had to spend some time away from his wife, Marjorie Scott, and their four children, but "when he got home, it was all about the family," Jones said.
She said she spent so much time with her father that people started calling her "Little Scott."
Scott put his children through college and one through medical school, all on a salary of $68 a month.
Jones also is proud of her father's community service, noting he volunteered at the Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus in Gary for 25 years.
While at the hospital, Scott would bring a book cart to patients' rooms, and he often visited with patients to cheer them up.
"He has a delightful sense of humor," Jones said.
Scott is a longtime member of St. Timothy Community Church in Gary and attends church "as regularly as he can," Jones said.
His involvement in the church also helped Scott stay active in the community. Scott became involved with Boy Scouts through the church, Jones said. Her father attended many meetings and helped plan various Scout activities, she said.
Scott, was one of nine Hoosiers recognized for their accomplishments in 2008 by Indiana Black Expo at its 39th annual Summer Celebration Governor's Reception.
AWARDS BREAKFAST: The Gary Frontiers Service Club's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Breakfast is set for 8 a.m. Saturday. The club has made seven nominations for its annual Drum Major Award, which honors those who have spent more than 30 years working to improve the human condition. The Times will continue to profile the nominees through Friday.
The nominees are: Arthur Hoyle, state Sen. Earline Rogers, Linus Scott, Ella Bush, Charles Deggans, the Rev. R.T. Mitchell and Era Twyman

while trying to investigate this rx relief card by Health Alliance, i ran across one for AARP. Guess what? Both rx cards are sponsored/adjudicated by this company called CATAMARAN. One card states savings up to 75%. The other states savings of up to 38%. However, CATAMARAN is behind both. Are these cards suspect? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ask your pharmacist. There was a lot of talk on another forum, and it seems these are legit, just a marketing deal by the pharma companies, aimed at people without other prescription drug coverage. But check out your prices for the meds that you take with your pharmacist. |
I did sign up to this site by researching the health alliance cards. I am so glad I did! Great information on this subject and more places to research. I love gardening and this site is outstanding! What a wonderful resource! I will definitely be visiting a lot! |

I get more respect for Zac Efron every time he does an interview. When the heartthrob was asked to address Perez Hilton's accusations that he was gay, Zac said, "I know it's very addictive to read that kind of stuff. It's entertainment. He's doing something right. I think he does a great job. Honestly, if the worst he can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it." Amen to that! [iVillage]

Emerging Public Health Leaders in Minnesota Build Confidence and Skills
Site Story
Synopsis of the Work: Turning Point: Collaborating for a New Century in Public Health, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, defined its mission as to "transform and strengthen the public health system in the United States to make the system more effective, more community-based and more collaborative." The two foundations partnered to support 22 states and 41 local communities in those states. RWJF also supported five National Excellence Collaboratives that allowed states to work together on important public health infrastructure challenges.
Story Told: Kristin Schultz, the assistant director of a local public health department in rural Minnesota, was tired of always trying to do more with less and overwhelmed by the challenges of working in public health. She was thinking about leaving the field.
Then she applied to Minnesota Turning Point's Emerging Leaders Network. Participating in the training program was a professional and personal turning point for Schultz.
Fawzi Awad, another "graduate" of the Emerging Leaders Network, worked at the Environmental Health Section of the Ramsey County Department of Public Health, helping to protect the environment in Minnesota from hospital hazardous waste. Managing the waste required compliance with complex local, state and federal regulations, and collaboration with the state's hospitals.
Awad knew that he needed a collaborative approach to lead the committee developing a hazardous waste management plan for Minnesota hospitals. "To accomplish our task we would need to find ways to encourage everyone to do their part on this huge issue," said Awad.
He said that participating in the Emerging Leaders Network gave him the skills and tools of collaborative leadership that he needed to guide the committee.

For a long time I try to find a proper solution on the e2, to get SD and HD IPTV streams running. With GStreamer IPTV streams work too, but unfortunatly not reliable and stable.
I´ve tested really a lot. With the presented solution you can enjoy DVB-IP conform IPTV streams in a clean, stable and fast way on your e2 dreambox. Nothing crashes or stucks the streams while playing them.
Multicast or Unicast streams and the used trick:
Before I try to explain how it works, you should inform yourself about multicast and unicast. I´m sure google will help you.
The used trick is a small linux binary called "udpxy". This is a small proxy converting the udp/rtp multicast packets into http unicast one, wihtout creating heavy load on your machine.
The dream can also handle real multicast streams, but completly instable, my opinion. Http unicast works absolut perfect, therefore this small workaround makes fully sense.
Another important advantage is that udpxy handles the IGMP v2 koin/leave protocol reliable. Further, if you would use multicast in your home network, this would flood your LAN clients with useless traffic.
To avoid this I start udpxy on my router (WAN Gateway). Having converted the IPTV multicast streams to unicast, the "Remote TV" lib of Dr.Best will process the DVB-IP conform streams as you know it from usal DVB-S-T-C receiption.
Prerequisites to run this plugin:
- Uptodate OE 1.6 Image
- Uptodate "Partnerbox/RemoteTV Plugin" MUST BE installed, because a lib of this plugin is used. (webtots.so)
Handling of already existing http unicast streams:
If you have already [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] unicast streams (e.g. origin dreambox streams), you don´t need to start udpxy! Just proceed with point A5, and create your *.m3u as described below, and copy it into etc/videostreams folder.
Handling of udp/rtp multicast streams: e.g. udp://22.214.171.124:4000 oder rtp://184.108.40.206:8888
With Udpxy [[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]].
Start udpxy on your dreambox or your router, to be able for converting multicast into unicast. Find below how to start.
Udpxy is started in this way via telnet:
./udpxy -p 4050
-p 4050 -> this means on Port 4050 you will catch the converted unicast packets from udpxy.
Simple instruction how to proceed:
A1. Download udpxy.mipsel here attached and upload it to usr/bin
A2. Rename it to udpxy"
A3. Give the right rights chmod 755
A4. Start via telnet udpxy in this way "udpxy -p 4050 &"
A5. Create your *.m3u with links as shown below, and upload the m3u to etc/videostreams (these links are expamples, no streams available on this URLs)

IPTV Player Plugin installation and handling:
Download the attached zip file and decompress it. The Streamer folder upload to /usr/lib/*******/python/Plugins/Extensions. Give the files inside the right rights 755.
Restart your dreambox (don´t forget to start udpxy if did a reboot...). You should find the "IPTV Player" in extensions, open it. Each *.m3u file in etc/videostreams you should see as a kind of bouquet.
Select one and press ok, then you will find the links of your m3u. Select a TV service and the stream should be displayed on your TV screen.
The navigation is simple, with exit you leave the folder or the and the end the plugin. With OK you open the folder, With Up/Down you can zap within a folder from stream to stream and back.
The IPTV Player plugin is based upon the DMvidsDirect Plugin of PCD. He has modded the come to the IPTV Player plugin.
BIG thanks to Dr.Best for his great Remote TV plugin, and to PCD who made the final version of IPTV Player.
P.S. There will be some updates in near future, Audio Selection, Teletext Selection...

Every year I get my thyroid tested and every year it's "in the normal range." Only ONE doctor ever said, yes it's in the normal range, but on the low end. It's like driving your car with 1/8th of a tank. You can still drive, but not as good as with a full tank of gas. Not sure about his analogy.
My lates thyroid test came back 1.4 (.4-4.0 begin the normal range). I have every blasted symptom of low thyroid (wrinkled fingernails, cold hands/feet/but, thinned out eye brows, infertile, extra weight around the stomach...) Should I get additional tests or insist on seeing an endocrinologists? One other thing, my mom had thyroid cancer (mid 50's--she's fine now) Thanks! |

Numbers don't always mean the same thing for everyone. I think the wise thing would be to see a doctor to give you a good work up to eliminate thyroid or any other cause. What might be considered "normal" for one person might too low or too high for another. |
Snow, I would see an endocrinologist if I were you. While your numbers don't sound acutely low, you don't feel good and that's reason enough. My own experience with primary care physicians is they don't know enough about the nuances of ideal hormone levels to treat or advise...maybe you don't need supplemental hormone but if it were me, I'd want to hear it from someone who treats those problems daily. Some people are more physically sensitive to fluctuations in those levels than others. Having some history of thyroid disease in your family does make you more inclined to experience an irregularity yourself...although please don't think I mean for you to be worrying about thyroid cancers. If your mother had one, you must know those are rare. |
You can have a normal tsh and still have hypothyroidism. My numbers were always normal and it took me close to 10 different doctors to finally find one that checked my thyroid antibodies - they were off the charts! Even then I had a doctor say she couldn't treat me.. although I had almost every hypo symptom in the book. I found a doctor at the site below that was willing to try lots of things to help me get better. Even so, it has taken a year and a half for me to finally start feeling good again. I imagine I have been hypothyroid for many years. To add to my problems I was also deficient in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. Endos are not always the best choice either. Find a doctor in the list below, they will take you seriously! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Top Docs
Have your vitamin D levels done. I felt like you and found out that mine were dangerously low. I was prescribed 57,000 units of Vitamin A once a week for two months and I felt like a new person. I also have hypothyroidism. The optimum tsh is l to 3 now. The values have been set lower. Your's sounds like a very normal thyroid reading BUT you have to have a further test called the FREE 3 AND FREE 4 test to determine. Best to see an endicronologist. In the meantime, first go the Vitamin A. Good luck. |

A few good things about thyroid cancer is that the most common type, comprising maybe 80% or more of the three different types, rarely metastasizes (I believe) and is fairly easy to treat. First with surgery, removing all but 1/8 of the thyroid (if possible), then injecting radioactive iodine. My mother had this procedure done???sometime before I was born or when I was too young to remember, as both my sister and aunt were the ones to tell me -- get this -- about 15 years ago, when I was 40. Also, my sister-in-law was around 50 (she is now 70) when she also had this procedure done. Since it can be heredity, I would definitely see an endocrinologist. |

The Cincinnati Reds made a solid little pickup today, signing Brayan Pena to be their backup catcher, playing behind Devin Mesoraco. Pena is big and sort of okay as far as defensive catchers go.
The addition of Pena all but signals the end of Ryan Hanigan 's time in the Queen City, as he's nearing an arbitration reward close to the price of Brayan Pena for two years. Hanigan is well-regarded for his catching prowess though he is no great shakes with the stick.
Obscuring Hangian's shortcomings at the plate is an inflated walk rate from hitting before the pitcher for so long. It isn't that Hanigan is bad player, but the instance that good teams should form a line to acquire the 33-year old career backup is seriously misguided.
One of these catchers is looking for a huge contract; the other just got pushed out by Brayan Pena. http://t.co/YAyfPJHnl1
— David Cameron (@DCameronFG) November 8, 2013
Salty is younger, sure. But for 2014, I'd rather have Hanigan, even setting money issues aside. Add in cost difference and no contest.
— David Cameron (@DCameronFG) November 8, 2013
There are many things Ryan Hanigan does well. He frames pitches with aplomb and works great with a pitching staff, we're told. He caught two Homer Bailey no-hitters in a matter of months, which isn't a tangible skill but it is testament to his ability to read his pitcher and the way hitters react to their game plan in real time.
What Ryan Hanigan does not do, at all any more, is hit. He can't hit! He never really could but it's especially bad now. He has no power of which to speak and his average plummeted thanks to a low in-play average last season. But he can walk. He has walked. He draws walks.
Drawing walks is a skill and Hanigan's knowledge of the strike zone is not up for debate. But Hanigan's plate discipline is not enough to overcome his inability to put the bat on the ball with positive results. Even the walks he draws are not the same walks as those issued to Hangian's erstwhile teammate Joey Votto.
Last year, Ryan Hanigan put up a .198/.306/.261 slash line. Not a typo, .261 slugging percentage. Batting average on balls in play have a big impact on extra base hits? Because Ryan Hanigan only mustered 10 – total – in 260 plate appearances.
Then we get to the walk. 29 walks in 260 plate appearances is good for 11.4% rate, well above average. But nine of those walks were issued intentionally. 20 unintentional walks in 251 plate appearances is less good. 7.9% walk rate is less above average. It's actually right on league average. Not all walks are created equal. Not all on base percentages tell the same story.
Many worse hitters got playing time in the National League as defense-first, "catch and throw" backstops. That's fine. Ryan Hanigan is good at that. Let him do that. But to insist that Hanigan is anything more is fool-hardy. Misguided. A waste of everyone's time. He is not a better option as an everyday catcher in the big leagues than Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Not in a vacuum which ignores the not-insignificant "every day" part of that equation.
Many teams would be well-served with Hanigan in their ranks – in the proper role. It says here that no team sees Hangian as another more than he is – a great mentor and defensive receiver who also creates world-beating gifs by the bushelful.

Netflix Wants to Change Video Privacy Laws, So Friends Can See What You Watched
As if waking up to an email asking, "How Was the Picture Quality of TRON: Legacy" wasn't enough of a reminder of your low-brow late night streaming habits, Netflix now is exploring out a new way to expose what you're actually watching when you pretended to be deeply engrossed in Triage: Dr. James Orbinski's Humanitarian Dilemma.
The New York Times reports that Netflix is backing a bill in Congress that aims to alter the Video Privacy Protection Act. That law, enacted back in 1988, requires video services companies to get written consent from a customer before disclosing information like rental history. The new bill, however, would let consumers give a "one-time blanket consent online" to let a company continuously share what they watched on Facebook, for example. Read More

La La Anthony took full advantage of the photo op privileges that come along with being a recognizable fixture at Madison Square Garden on Monday night (January 7).
It's a good thing she got it out of the way since husband Carmelo Anthony had more on his mind than holding her purse following the game.
Carmelo Anthony couldn't beat Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics on the court and instead was intent on settling a score in the bowels of Madison Square Garden.
Anthony, according to eyewitnesses interviewed by the Daily News, waited for Garnett near the Celtics bus following Boston's emotionally charged 102-96 victory on Monday night.
A potentially volatile scene was defused by Garden security personnel, five New York City police officers and even Knicks coach Mike Woodson, who rushed to the scene unfolding near the Garden ramp and ordered Anthony to leave peacefully.
A source on the scene claimed that Garnett seemed somewhat surprised and confused by Anthony's presence and acted as a peacemaker as Celtics security ushered the All-Star forward onto the bus.
With nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks game, Carmelo and Kevin Garnett got into a shouting match on the court. The heated argument resulted in both players being given technical fouls.
"Listen, heat of the battle, man. Guys go back and forth. He's trying to get his team to go, I'm trying to get my team to go, both teams are colliding, not to mention that it's the Knicks and the Celtics," Garnett said in a post-game interview. "Just what it is, man."
Word on the curb is that KG crossed the line by making comments about Melo's family during their squabble, explaining why Carmelo wanted to put them paws on him.

In a phone call to his father from jail, played in court today at his trial, Charles Oliver said that women he paid for sex "are claiming rape" because he "was aggressive" with them.
Oliver, a 45-year-old Woodstock man who is accused of sexually assaulting eight women, many he met on Craigslist, also told his father that there is "some truth to" the "girls' stories," but he also called them inconsistent.
When his father asks where authorities "(got) all these people," referring to his son's alleged victims, Oliver responds: "I would tape them. We got (to) fighting in the house."
Also today, a Woodstock police detective said Oliver told him he "had problems with prostitutes" but that "he paid them so he could do what he wants to them."
Oliver also told Det. George Kopulos that "he had to get a little physical with" one of the women because she wouldn't do what he wanted, the officer testified. But Oliver said she was the only women he'd had to get rough with, Kopulos said.
The detective also testified that Oliver told him he routinely took women to his basement first to explain his rules – including that he would not wear a condom – and did that because one woman once left through a window. Kopulos said Oliver admitted that he used prepaid, untraceable phone cards when making arrangements to meet women and that, as he drove them back to his house, he would circle around his neighborhood and make the women duck down in the car so they wouldn't know where they were going. He also used fake names with the women, as many of them did with him.
Two women have so far testified that they arranged through Craigslist to meet Oliver and that he was calm while driving them to his house. But then, they said, his personality changed dramatically, he became belligerent and threatening, told them he could do what he wanted and then forced them to do more than they'd agreed to while filming them. They also said he threatened harm or to out them as prostitutes if they reported him.
His lawyers have countered that the women consented to have sex with Oliver for money and he had no reason to force himself on them.
Oliver is being held in McHenry County Jail on a $4 million bond.
The prosecution rested this morning, and Judge Sharon Prather denied a request from Oliver's attorneys to find him not guilty without them having to put on a defense.
Oliver's attorneys completed their defense in less than a half hour today, calling three officers to the stand who were involved in investigating the allegations.
The defense sought to highlight inconsistencies in the story of a witness who said she was sexually assaulted by Oliver in his home and then jumped out of his car while he was supposedly driving her back to her vehicle.
Huntley Police Officer Brett Kinney was asked if he saw any injuries on the woman could have been caused by her jumping from a moving vehicle, and he said no.
Woodstock Police Officer Shane Marshall testified that he spoke with the woman at a church in Huntley, where she had sought refuge after leaving Oliver's car after the alleged assault.
Marshall testified about how the woman said she had been abducted by a man who tied her hands and blindfolded her. He said the woman appeared to be calm and had no visible injuries. He also said he checked an area of about 50 yards around the church entrance and found no ties or blindfolds.
The woman had admitted during her own testimony Wednesday that she initially lied to police – saying she'd been abducted from the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Huntley, where she'd met up with Oliver. She said she was afraid of getting in trouble for prostitution and feared retaliation from Oliver if she reported him to police.
Closing arguments are set to begin at 9 a.m. Friday morning.

The Orthodox Church in Cyprus said it's prepared to help save the tiny island nation from a fiscal crisis.
Archbishop Chrysostomos II said he will make the church's assets available to the government for its disposal.
His announcement came after a meeting with the Cypriot president.
The archbishop told reporters he is willing to mortgage the church's considerable holdings in property, banking, and a brewery -- and then invest it in government bonds.
Cyprus needs 15.8 billion euros to bail out its banks and shore up government finances.

Corey Pavin surges to Allianz Championship lead
February 10, 2012
PGA TOUR staffBOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Corey Pavin shot an 8-under 64 on Friday to take a two-shot lead over Fred Funk, Bernhard Langer and Peter Senior after the first round of the Allianz Championship.
Pavin, winless in 34 career starts in the Champions Tour, had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch to shoot a back-nine 29 at Broken Sound Golf Club.
He won 15 times on the PGA TOUR, including the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, and set the nine-hole scoring record of 8-under 26 in the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship at Brown Deer Park.
"I don't usually shoot a lot of low scores, so it's kind of strange," Pavin said. "When I get in those situations, I really try to focus without thinking of too much of what I'm doing. When you start thinking about how many birdies you're making, you tend to mess up."
He had two second-place finishes last season.
"I think it's harder to win out here than on the PGA TOUR, because almost all of these guys have won lots of tournaments and they know how to win," Pavin said.
Funk made his first start on the 50-and-over tour since July. He had

And I had no idea what a burrito was.Quote:
Me either, EVER.
I was born on Oct. 20th '62, right smack in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis (mom and pop thinkin' "We've got a child due in a few days, and we don't even know if there'll be a world left to bring it into."), so I grew up during the '60s and '70s. What a time! We played outside ALL the time and invented many of our own games. We'd disappear into the foothills on our bikes on a summer mornin' with just enough lawn mowin' money in our pockets to get a burrito or a burger, although we usually chose candy instead :wink:, or somethin', and not return 'til after dark. Mom knew we'd be back as soon as our tumblies were thoroughly Rumbly.
So many other memories! Like I said, what a time...! :D

About | Projects | Docs | Forums | Lists | Bugs | Get Gentoo! | Support | Planet | Wiki
Hi All, I just completed an IBM tutorial on Linux 2.4 stateful firewall design. Phew! If anyone needs some tips in this area, email me and I can point you in the right direction. Now, back to Gentoo Linux for a tiny bit. I've been thinking about 1.0_rc4. What I'd like to do is focus on two things. The first thing is the install process, and testing out Achim's new devfs bootdisk. The second thing is to test all aspects of sys-apps, sys-libs, sys-devel, and a few important applications, like openssh, etc. If we can forget about things like KDE for a bit, I'd like to focus on making sure that all the fine details of the base distribution are in order and working perfectly (things like initscripts, devfs, portage, supervise scripts, fixing all installation "quirks", etc.). I think that this is needed; let me know what you think. I want to do a lot of test Gentoo Linux setups from scratch to try to eliminate any quirks. Tell me what you think and Achim, please suggest a reasonable timeframe. Also, let me know of any goals that you'd like to define for 1.0_rc4. Best Regards, -- Daniel Robbins <email@example.com> President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

Wow Tina your house is lookin marvelous.You gotta be really happy with it.I wanna trade.Mine needs soo much work : ( Is that you sitting with momma? Beautiful!!(momma doggie is pretty too)!! : )) Hugs,Nancy |
Tina I just love those pictures. The puppy with the white paws is adorable. My house needs so much work I don't even want to think about it. My hubby is absolutely no help when it comes to fixing anything. He is a good cook though. I amaze myself at what I've taught myself to do. I took some pictures at our local Animal Shelter. I go there to play with the cats. I'll post them this week. Hugs, Mariann |

I had to reload this thread to get to see all the pics of the puppies, hate this durn dial up, boy those guys have gotten big! love your house, and of course was scoping out the houseplants! I need to slow down on that habit, counted em yesterday and the tally is now 62, I have plants in everyroom of the house including the boys bathroom and their bedrooms, it will be 61 in a few days however, I am losing my rubber tree at a alarming rate:( bogartbaby, your cat is georgeous, I had a 28 lb cat that I had to give to my brother, he was black and white, he looked like a milk cow, and his head looked so tiny compared to his body. I love the big cats, used to adopt those from the humane society because they told me no one wanted the big ones, I had 4 at one time that were all over the 15lb mark, I think they are calmer then the smaller ones (I had a yellow one named Garfield) |

Oh my god. I don't even really like dogs and those puppies are so cute!!! Michelle, where do you keep your rubber tree in the winter vs. summer? I have mine in a spot where it gets extremely low light. It's dropping leaves but not really fast. I wonder if it will be dead by summer? |
This is Sidney. I rescued her and took her to our local Humane Society. She was adopted this week by a loving family. Mariann |

Funky is right Mariann.Oh My Goodness!! Look like something off of an old male tree? Oh I know that was *bad* but I just couldn't resist. Mariann I don't have a clue.I am really curious to find out though : ) Nancy |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Fri, Dec 1, 06 at 15:00
Hi Angels! Mariann - I am so pleased to hear that - that beautiful kitty was adopted. They are hard to adopt out around here. Most peoplejust throw them outside in the country somewhere. Makes me ill. Great work! Deanie - What a breath of fresh air! LOVE the color. I have one but I don't think it is going to bloom. I have been treating it like a regualr houseplant. It is beautiful and green, with many leaves, but don't they need a dormant period of some type? Nancy - rotflmbo! An old male tree! Ha...thats my guess as well. That or a witches nose tree (I know, there isn't such a thing). I am very curious as to know what the tree is. I may have to do some reearch. OK, too much to do and no time to finish it all - I'm sure I'll be back later! |
Tina & Nancy you two are so funny. I needed a good laugh today or any day for that matter. Hint: It's not an evergreen. It's flowers are quite large. LOL Mariann |

Magnolia? |

OK, I have researched until I am blue in the face. I need more hints, LoL Is it a tropical or deciduious? zone hardiness? Oh boy I hope you come and check the forums soon. I wanna figure this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL, |
Hi All, Someone got it! Julie you are right.. The tree is a Magnolia x soulangeana. This species doesn't bear many pods, that's why I only had a few. Creepy looking aren't they? Thank you ladies for playing. Hugs, Mariann |
tastefullyjulie, My rubber tree was in extremly low light at first and the leaves started getting black spots on it and falling off, I have moved it to higher and higher light since then and nothing seems to be making a difference, poor thing. bogartbaby, I do have pics of Elroy, but they would have to be scanned into my computer, and every time I try to post those they come out really tiny, I will do that on Monday, and I will try to mess with them and see if I can get them any bigger:) |

Further proof that the book publishing industry will give everyone a book deal but people who actually deserve it … Jillian Harris, the most recent "Bachelorette," will be writing a dating book based on hot dog toppings. You see, Jillian has this little theory that you can tell a lot about a guy based on what he puts on his hot dog. "It's just sort of a girls guide to how to dissect a guy and how to simply ask what his hot dog topping is and then you decide whether he's a keeper or not," Harris told E! Online. "It'll be short stories about different guys I've dated and what you can expect with a sauerkraut guy or a ketchup guy…just something fun." Yes. Fun. So. Fun. I'm going to go stab my self with a Oscar Meyer now, thanks. [E! Online] Keep reading »

You already know Utah is home to the Greatest Snow on Earth. The powder that tops our peaks provides some of world's best skiing--so good we hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
And when that snow melts, there is plenty of great places to hike, fish, camp, run, bike and golf.

Developing a 'Science for all' agenda
It is almost a year since the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills launched its Vision for Science and Society UK consultation with the aim of 'building a more mature relationship between scientists, policy makers and society.' The spirit behind the Whitehall wording is now coming alive, with the creation of five largely non-governmental expert groups to tackle priority science and society themes which emerged from the consultation.
It is almost a year since the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills launched its Vision for Science and Society UK consultation with the aim of 'building a more mature relationship between scientists, policy makers and society.' The spirit behind the Whitehall wording is now coming alive, with the creation of five largely non-governmental expert groups to tackle priority science and society themes which emerged from the consultation.
The consultation, which closed in October 2008, received an excellent public response, with over 3,000 separate comments from a good mix of individuals and organisations.
Respondents emphasised the part that teachers, scientists, the media and business all have to play in demonstrating the excitement and relevance of science. This underpins the other key themes: careers, and overall trust in science.
'Although government alone cannot hope to achieve a widespread cultural change in attitudes to science,' says Strategy Project Leader Karen Folkes, 'it was also clear from the responses that government has a key role to play in catalysing the various communities to make it happen.'
Expert groups
The Department has therefore introduced the five expert groups and their membership, drawn from organisations as diverse as the Research Councils, the X and the X. Each group's delivery plans will be drawn up this autumn.
The Science for All group has the role of increasing the effectiveness of public engagement and creating a strategic framework for the communication activities of science, policy and business communities. The Science and the Media group will develop plans for increasing the media literacy of scientists and the scientific literacy of the media. The Science and Learning group will combine the remit of the Department of Children, Schools and Families and the 19+ science education agenda of DIUS. It will offer a strategic vision of the effective provision of science learning and its impact on society. Improving the quality and accessibility of advice on science careers will be the focus of a Science for Careers group. Finally, a Science and Trust expert group will look at increasing the transparency of the governance of science in the public and private sectors. It will improve accessibility of those concerned about the social responsibility and ethical issues that underpin science.
Chief Executive of the British Science Association, Sir Roland Jackson will lead the Science for All expert group. He welcomes the opportunity for enhanced collaboration with other sectors. [INVENTED QUOTE CHECK WITH ROLAND: "Science for All is written into the DNA of all the Group's members but with this combined approach you achieve the hybrid vigour of a set of people with different skills and experience"]
Arts and showbiz
An important delivery mechanism of the wide-ranging 'Science for All' agenda, and one which also relies on partnerships with many individuals and organisations, is the Science: [So what? So everything] campaign that was launched by the Prime Minister in January.
'The campaign explains that science will help us to deal with the great challenges of our times: climate change, an ageing population, clean energy production and global security,' says Lord Drayson.
'Nobody will be surprised to hear the science minister making these arguments,' he continues, 'but hopefully they will be more engaged – and entertained – if a science message comes from less predictable quarters.'
A wide range of figures has been enlisted from the arts, showbiz and popular culture in support of the campaign: writers like Terry Pratchett and Bill Bryson, comedian Bill Miller, Big Brother star John Tickle, and more traditional science presenters such as Alice Roberts and Kathy Sykes. The list of 'campaign ambassadors' started at 16 and is growing each month

There can be a lot of questions if you've never been out on track before, so here is an ever expanding list of Q&A's.
There can be a lot of questions if you've never been out on track before, so here is an ever expanding list of Q&A's.
What is a Track Day or Car Control Day?
A Track day is a non-competitive, controlled event where you can drive your car around a real established motor racing circuit or closed airfield without speed restrictions. We require that you hold a full driving license, and that your car is road legal. Driving manners are expected to be high, and beginners are always welcome.
Car Control days are designed to be fun, safe and also educational. As we run on a wide open space around cones there is also very little risk of impact damage to cars which naturally is of major concern to many participants.
I'm totally new to track driving
You may find that booking some introductory tuition is a good idea. It's available at all of our events and is most often able to be booked in advance along with the purchase of our events from a drop down box on the relevant page.
I'm worried about the chances of damage to my car
The common misconception is that track driving is more dangerous than road driving. It is in fact the other way round. On track you have no oncoming traffic, almost no chance of pedestrians or animals on track and run off areas for if things do go wrong. We take every reasonable precaution in making sure you get your precious car home in one piece. However, It is sensible to be aware that accidents can happen to even the most experienced driver. Most circuits have been designed in order to allow for human and mechanical error with generous run off points, soft crash barriers or gravel traps in the more technical areas.
I'm worried I won't be fast enough on track
People can often talk the talk but only a few can walk the walk. You can go at whatever speed you are comfortable with. The rules that we have set for track driving mean that you will not get hassled by faster cars. When there are 2 or more cars on track at once we remove all forms of competition by banning stop watch timing and aggressive over taking. If at any stage you feel uncomfortable or unhappy about your driving please speak to staff who will be able to help.
Do I need a crash helmet?
We require drivers to wear a helmet on both our track days and car control days. If you don't own one, don't worry. You can hire one from us for just £10.00 for the full day by paying cash at the event.
Can I bring a passenger?
Yes of course, charges for passengers can vary according to our events. Please see further details on the specific event you are planning to book.
Refund Policy
If canceled outside of 30 days of the event, the cost of the event will be refunded LESS 25% for administration charges. Refunds are not permitted within 30 days of the event.
Refunds are only made to the person who purchased the event place, and are refunded via the original means of payment.
Force Majeure
If Single Marque Events or its track partners are unable to provide the event due to unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, industrial action, government restriction or other restriction imposed by the circuit or venue, Single Marque Events will issue a credit at its discretion up to the value of the event and activities booked. Events that suffer a delayed start or curtailed early will not normally qualify for credit. Any credit will be issued at the company and staff's discretion sole discretion.
I want to know more about an event I plan to book
For event specific questions please see the event booking page which will provide information about timing, rules of the day including noise limits and safety as well as local area information for hotels or B+B's.
Still unsure or have a question not covered? Please see the contact section of the website.

"Very nice. I stir-fried my tofu with onions, garlic, and red pepper. I also made my own seasoning mix and served with guacomole. Turned out really lovely."
"Very delicious. I served mine with roasted cauliflower and potato covered in olive oil and crushed garlic. Yum! I did make a few changes: Barley flour instead of wheat, sunflower oil instead of canola, celeriac instead of celery and I didn't have any savoury or mustard powder, but still turned out fab."
"They were just alright, nice out of the oven, but very dry the next day. The recipe was not consistent in the directions, but I could figure out what I needed to do."
"I also took the suggestion of adding peanutbuuter, banana chips and carob chips. I soaked 3 dates in water instead of using sugar, but next time I think 4 will do the trick. My husband loves them!"
"Very yummy!! I needed to add a bit more cumin and some Braggs, but it turned out really lovely. We also took the suggestion of serving it with mexican rice."
"Fantastically decadent!! I rolled black cherries and crystallized ginger into the middle. Yum!! (It took longer than 2 hours for my mixture to set, but well worth the wait. Also if you soak the cashews in cold water for 2 hours before blending them, they blend smoother.)"
