Terry Florence career highlights
Terry Florence
Career Highlights:Two-time South Carolina Open championFour-time South Carolina PGA championPlayed in four PGA ChampionshipsPlayed in three Senior PGA Championships1992 Carolinas PGA golf pro of the year2005 inducted into S.C. Golf Hall of Fame2008 inducted into Carolinas PGA Hall of FameFrom his early days at Charleston Municipal Golf Course to his tenures at Wild Dunes Resort and Bulls Bay Golf Club, Terry Florence was the face of Charleston golf. He had an impressive resume as a player, but might be remembered most for his warm personality and wise leadership.
Florence, 63, died Monday after a six-year battle with cancer.
No matter where he laced up his spikes — at the Muni, Wild Dunes, or Bulls Bay — Florence was one of the guys. Those who worked for him and those for whom he worked thought of him as family.
"There was never a more classy guy. He treated everybody the best you could ever be treated," said Happ Lathrop, executive director of the South Carolina Golf Association. "The way Terry touched you, you always felt like you were his best friend in the world of golf. He will be missed sorely."
Born in Charleston, Florence grew up in Charlotte and later returned to Charleston where he played basketball at the College of Charleston. Florence transferred to Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs, N.C., where he helped the golf team win an NAIA national championship.
Florence played mini-tour golf and in 1974 came within one shot of qualifying for the PGA Tour. Deciding that he and his wife Hope did not want another year of traveling, Florence decided to move back to Charleston. He spent four years at Charleston Municipal Golf Course, where he learned the golf business under head pro Al Esposito and how to teach golf from former Masters champion Henry Picard.
In 1980, Florence was hired to become the first golf pro at Wild Dunes, and he led the resort to a top 100 world ranking. He guided the club through a painful rebuilding effort following Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
As he moved up the corporate ladder, Florence began to get the itch to try the Senior PGA (now Champions) Tour. He left Wild Dunes after 20 years and began training for the senior circuit. It wasn't long before he was back in Charleston. Bulls Bay owner Joe Rice hired Florence to oversee that club's operations where he remained until his death.
Lea Anne Brown, who worked with Florence for 22 years at Wild Dunes Resort and at Bulls Bay Golf Club, said she would go to merchandise shows in California and New York and people would see her Wild Dunes ID and immediately ask: "Oh! Do you know Terry Florence?"
"He was known not just in the United States but the world as well," Brown said.
Florence mentored many golf professionals throughout his career and at the same time was one of the Carolinas PGA Section's top players.
In addition to being inducted into the South Carolina Golf Hall of Fame (2005) and Carolinas PGA Hall of Fame (2008), Florence won events such as the South Carolina Open, South Carolina PGA and played in four PGA Championships and three Senior PGA Championships and a U.S. Senior Open.
Hart Brown, the director of golf at the Country Club of Charleston and a close friend of Florence's for more than 25 years, said he promised Florence when he became sick that they would continue to play golf.
"We would play every Monday at Bulls Bay and we've done that for six years," Brown said. "I told him I don't care if it's one hole, nine holes or 18 holes, we're going to do it. We stopped about a month and a half ago. That's when he couldn't play golf anymore."
Florence said in 2005 that he was blessed and thankful to be a golf professional.
"I'm the luckiest son of a gun on the planet," he said. "Charleston Municipal to Wild Dunes to Bulls Bay. Why me?"

Good To Silence The Boos - Wood
Wood on shutting up the United boo boys
Coventry City defender Richard Wood was delighted to silence those booing him and Leon Clarke for playing for Sheffield Wednesday with the 2-1 victory at Sheffield United.
Wood told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: "Being a former Wednesday lad it's always nice for me to win at Bramall Lane. I was getting a few boos, as was Clarkey who also played at Hillsbrough, so it was nice to come back and win to silence them; it's a good feeling.
"We were outstanding at times – it was one of the best first halves I have seen us play and it was just great to just watch from the back as the lads played some good football.."

Housekeeping gone wild: Mark Montano-inspired cleaning-glove update
Posted By Elana Ashanti Jefferson On January 28, 2013 @ 9:56 am In Crafts,DIY Projects,Home Maintenance | No Comments
Blink and you might miss the latest news from DIY lightning rod and Denver Post contributing blogger Mark Montano. [2]
In addition to promoting his latest book, "The Big-Ass Book of Bling," this Colorado native and former fashion designer recently revamped his Web site to include even more videos, blog posts and products. [3]
Montano also maintains a YouTube channel [4], which is where I spotted a recent episode of his "Make Your Mark" online show touting a fun and easy 99 cent knit-glove "up-style." [5]
As an alternative to knit gloves [6] for this project, why not spice up dreadful housekeeping chores by tackling a quick latex glove up-style?
1 pair of latex cleaning gloves (Mine are from Dollar Tree.)
1 12-by-18 inch piece of oilcloth (You can find this at any fabric store, or you can make your own. [8])
Sewing machine or glue gun
Pinking sheers or scissors
1. Cut the oilcloth in half so you have two pieces that measure 6-by-18 inches. Oilcloth won't fray, so you won't need to hem seams as part of this project, although the perfectionists among us may choose to do that anyway, which is perfectly fine. I used pinking sheers and decided to leave the zigzag hemline as-is. These pieces will be the water-proof cuffs on your snazzy new cleaning gloves.
2. Fold each piece of fabric in half, right sides together, then stitch (or glue) the 6-inch side to create your cuff.
3. Slide each glove into each cuff so that the bottom of the glove matches up with the bottom of the cuff. As you begin to pin the pieces together, right sides facing, fold in a pleat every inch or so. (If you were doing this project with knit gloves like Montano does, the stretch in the knit would automatically create a pleat. But oilcloth and latex obviously lack such elasticity, which means you have to manually create small folded pleats. If you're doing this project with a glue gun, you may need to glue down each folded pleat.)
4. Stich (or glue) each glove to each cuff.
5. Fold down the cuff and then proceed with your housekeeping in style!

Jim is known for possessing an outstanding physique in his later years. At 75 he still trains hard and releases bodybuilding photos. The photograph above is him aged 61, which many people believed was edited as they could not believe the muscular definition of a man of this age. He also had a successful career as a younger man and achieved an impressive set of titles. Jim is outspoken in support of the vegan diet and encourages people to eat a healthy, plant-based diet for the good of their health and sport.

Message from the Principal
Welcome to East Otago High School. I regard it as a privilege to lead what is a high quality, high achieving school. We are a friendly, caring and family oriented local school proud of who we are and what we achieve.
We aim to produce students who are capable, confident and outgoing with the skills they will need to become positive and valued members of society. We want our young people to leave East Otago High School with the choice as to what they want to do and what they want to be. Indeed, we seek for them to dream of the best possible future and then, with the assistance of school, to make it a reality.
East Otago High School students perform well in all aspects of school life. Academically, particularly in both Level 1 and Level 2 our results are significantly above the national average. By way of example over half of our Year 11 students achieved NCEA Level 1 endorsed with Merit in 2012. Students, especially in our senior school, benefit greatly from learning in relatively small class sizes. East Otago High School is a school of participators with a high percentage involved in both sport and cultural activities. Our sports teams consistently perform above that expected for a school of our size and our type and we offer competitive sporting opportunities in a wide variety of sports. In addition, both our Choir and Kapa Haka group are strongly supported within the school.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any queries or questions. I would be delighted to have the opportunity of showing you our school and what we can offer as we are proud of our students and our school.

Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been investing in real estate for years, BiggerPockets is your free source of real estate investor education, networking, and dealmaking.
This page is designed to give you a brief overview of what you can expect at BiggerPockets. Below, you'll find:

- What To Do First on BiggerPockets
- The Best of BiggerPockets... So Far
The BiggerPockets Mindset: Nine Core Beliefs of BiggerPockets Members
BiggerPockets is first and foremost a community. As a community, we hold certain beliefs that are core to who we are and how we operate. The following is a list of nine core beliefs that our members hold to. If you find that these ideals resonate with you - we welcome you with open arms to our community.
1) Real Estate Education Should Be Pitch Free
There is a time and a place for making money off information - but BiggerPockets is not that place and today is not that time. Members at BiggerPockets believe in openly sharing advice and information without a hidden agenda. Please do not jump on the forums and talk about your website or product. If you want to post an ad, please do so in the BiggerPockets Marketplace, keeping our question and answer forums pitch-free.
2) Your Past Failures or Successes Don't Determine Your Future
You may have failed in the past or been wildly successful - but the only thing that matters as you move forward is your next action. BiggerPockets members, whether newbie or seasoned pro, are continually learning, growing, and sharing to redefine their future.
3) There Are No Secrets to Success
Most real estate Gurus pitch a "secret" to success and will only share that secret after three monthly payments of some ridiculous amount. At BiggerPockets we believe that the only secret is that there are no secrets. All the information you need to become a successful investor is out there to find. BiggerPockets is designed to bring that information together, in one place, and create a community to discuss that information in a pitch-free, safe environment.
4) "Get Rich Quick" is Not a Reality
Yes, people have made money quickly in real estate. However, the overnight successes are simply the exception, not the rule. BiggerPockets' members believe that true wealth is made from solid education, a strategic plan, proper implementation, and time.
5) No Question is a Bad Question
You've heard the cliche before: There are no dumb questions. At BiggerPockets - we encourage open discussion about any topics relating to real estate investing. If you can't find the answer through our search tool on the site, then simply ask it in the forums. The answers to your question will not only help you - but countless others who come behind you to read it.
6) What You Put In, You'll Get Out
The most successful users on BiggerPockets are ones who have fully committed to jumping in with both feet. By engaging daily with other investors, asking and answering questions, reading blogs, and in any other way participating - you will get results. You will receive back what you put in.
7) Investors Should Add Value
BiggerPockets' members believe that investors should be respectful to the community they work in, seeking to better the areas around them and provide valuable services to their local community.
8) There Are Many Paths to Real Estate Success
There is no "one single way" to invest in real estate. Real estate investing methods are as diverse as the investors who use them. That said - there are definitely many ill-advised and incorrect ways to invest in real estate, which we make no qualms about discussing.
9) We Help Each Other Succeed
BiggerPockets is here for you. Our community exists to build each other up in success and add a voice of reason and responsibility to the investing community. Our members deeply and honestly care about the success of other members and work hard to build our industry as a whole.
If you want to be part of a movement of movers and shakers that's starting to make an impact in the real estate investing world, join us. If you want to be part of a group of entrepreneurs dedicated and committed to building real and serious wealth through real estate, join us. If you want to engage in a community of likeminded real estate enthusiasts without being pitched to buy a $997 product in exchange for knowledge, join us. Membership to BiggerPockets is free.
If this sounds like too much work and you're unwilling to make changes in order to live a better life, no worries. Thanks for your time, feel free to read some content around the site, and we wish you the best of luck in the future. We'll be here when you are ready.

Most of Min | Day's experiments with CNC digital fabrication are done in collaboration with FACT (Fabrication and Construction Team), an affiliated design lab Jeffrey L. Day, AIA, teaches at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. FACT takes on pro bono and very-low-fee work for nonprofit clients like the Bemis Center in Omaha, Neb., and Art Farm in Marquette, Neb., both artist residency programs. In these long-term projects, each successive class gets hands-on experience building small art installations. Day, firm partner E.B. Min, AIA, and their three employees design the projects while FACT develops them, conducts research, and oversees fabrication and construction.
Although FACT is never used for work on private commissions, its testing supports the firm's interest in creating unusual effects. "It's a way to make creative possibilities affordable," Day says. At the Bemis Center, for example, students developed a complex paneled wall system that cost $5 per square foot because they wrote their own code and had it fabricated at a medium-security state prison. "The material itself was inexpensive, but it would have been a monumental task for craftspeople," Day says. "We're not that interested in precious materials, but in what you do with materials."
Hesse McGraw, curator at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, an art residency program in Omaha, describes Min | Day's work as "an architecture that remembers it's meant to be lived in, and that reaches out to its occupants in a generous way."
Says McGraw, "When you look at the images you can tell there's a kind of joy or sense of celebration just by the colors and forms, but the way that happens when you occupy these spaces is palpable. There's a sense of discovery that unfolds over time."
Their ongoing work with the Bemis Center and other nonprofit artist organizations has inspired an improvisational paradigm that's quite different from their meticulously controlled projects, and one that would scare most architects. In this realm, too, Min | Day borrows from landscape architecture. "The way landscape architects think about the long-term has inspired us to think about how to do that architecturally," Day says. "When you can't depend on rigorous control from start to finish, you seek ways of structuring the experiences to unify the work of others who succeed you."
It's an approach they've used on restricted-budget private commissions, too. With a portfolio ranging from a wheelchair-accessible suburban residence to urban adaptive reuse, straw bale houses, and repurposed art buildings on a working farm, their practice is hard to pin down. Recently they landed a new category: master planning for a 90-unit housing project in China.
The philosophy that informs all Min | Day's work, whether experimental or traditional, is that architecture isn't so much about the formal image as the way a building locks into its site. And that's something that has to be experienced.
"When the weather is cool here, the breeze comes from the north, and the building shields a beautiful patio," says client Paul Smith of his Lake Okoboji house. "In warm weather, the breeze comes out of the south. I often sit there with my coffee in the morning and watch the world wake up."

Look up brethren in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
Brethren is a name adopted by a wide range of mainly Christian religious groups throughout history which do not necessarily share historical roots, including some of the earliest primitive churches, the Paulician Brethren, the Bogomil Brethren, the Brethren of the Free Spirit, the Schwarzenau Brethren and some Anabaptist groups, the Moravian Brethren, and the Plymouth Brethren, among many others.
These groups grew out of the Anabaptist movement at the time of the Protestant Reformation (16th century).
The Schwarzenau Brethren originated in 1708 in Schwarzenau, Bad Berleburg, Germany, with Alexander Mack. Their roots are in the Radical Pietism movement but they were strongly influenced by Anabaptist theology. They have also been called "Dunkers" or "German Baptist Brethren". The group split into three wings in 1881–1883:
The various Plymouth Brethren bodies originated in the 1820s work of John Nelson Darby and others in Ireland and the United Kingdom as well as India:
Some groups named "Brethren" have contributed to United Methodism:
The River Brethren owe their origins to the combined labors of Reformed pastor Philip William Otterbein and Mennonite Martin Boehm, beginning in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the latter half of the 18th century. They were also influenced by the Schwarzenau Brethren and include (amongst others):

Pittsburgh Pet
- Posted by Johanna on April 25, 2006 at 11:46 am
- Category: Comic News
KC went to the Pittsburgh Con to help out a retailer friend, and he said it was pretty much a bust. He was looking forward to catching up with some of our friends who were going to be guests, and several of them didn't attend (don't know why), which was disappointing. Sales were slow, too.
But to make up for him being gone, he brought me back a present… a stuffed version of the weiner dog from Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows. I'm no fan of the strip, but Oscar is just adorable! It's a very faithful rendition of the character, who's pretty cute to start with. Every time I see it, I mentally become four years old, saying "Doggie!" and grabbing it.
5 Responses to "Pittsburgh Pet"
- Dave "The Knave" White Says:
April 25, 2006 at 7:02 PMI can't say I'm surprised to hear that the Pittsburgh Con was a dud. They've essentially been running the exact same convention with the exact same guests for about ten years now, and the locals have finally wised up to it. They had their brush with greatness when they had the Harveys, and even then they had no idea what to do with them. There's no compelling reason to pony up the $17 entrance fee when you could spend the same money at any of Pittsburgh's fine local comic stores (of which it has no shortage).
- James Schee Says:
April 25, 2006 at 7:40 PMThat's too bad that Pittsburgh was a dud, as I want more coventions that aren't Wizard run.
That dog toy is really cute, even though I've never read the strip it is from.
You pegged the age and phrase right though, as that was exactly what my (then) 4 year old niece did and said when I got the Blammo toy dog years back.
The creator of Electric Girl actually got such a laugh out of the story, that he sent me another one for me. Which I had to give up to her again, after another pre-schooler stole hers at pre-school.
- Johanna Says:
April 26, 2006 at 8:12 AMDave, I've never been, but that matches my thoughts on it. There was a period, before the Harveys, where lots of my friends were talking about how interesting the show could become, but then it seemed to choose washed-up sf actors and "glamor" models (i.e. ex-Playboy girls) over independent comic artists.
James, I agree with the need for independently run cons, but for now, I'll stick with Baltimore and Heroes.
- Augie De Blieck Jr. Says:
April 26, 2006 at 10:49 AMAnd leave us not forget the man dressed as the woman from FARSCAPE.
I went to the show twice and had pretty much seen it all at that point. Many of the same guests that you can find at the New York City shows and now Philly are there, and both of those are far closer to me than the six hour hike to Pitt. Pitt does get Bendis and Perez and Turner (friend of the organizers), but there's just not enough there there to get me back.

Restaurateur Martha Cordero, who was born in Cuba but emigrated at a young age, is attempting to bring back that Cuba of the mind, a time when intellectuals and artists gathered to drink, eat, and argue in fine restaurants. That's why she and her brother Napoleon Cordero opened Cafe Cuba Libre two months ago on SW Eighth Street in Miami. The proprietors are dedicated, as Cordero puts it, to "bringing Cuban culture back to Calle Ocho." To that end the partners bill their restaurant as a place in which Hemingway, a frequent visitor to Cuba, would have drunk every night. Paintings by Cuban artist Jose Grave de Peralta cover every available inch of the white wall space in an otherwise plain, square dining room. They'll be displayed for the next two months, at which point Grave de Peralta will become curator and will choose another Cuban artist to exhibit. Tuesday through Sunday guitarists Oscar Marco and Danny Piloto sing and play songs by everyone from Benny More to Billy Joel; they're practically loud enough to be heard at the Freedom Tower downtown, and the Corderos encourage patrons to join in at the mic. "We've got singers, actors, dancers, even stand-up comics who want to take a turn," Martha Cordero notes. "And they're all good."
If the atmosphere of the 77-seat Cafe Cuba Libre is, as Cordero contends, like "the Cuba that YUCAs remember," then it might serve as a place where Cuban-American Gen Xers can go for a secondhand dose of old island culture. And have a good meal. Cordero serves what she calls "provincial Cuban cuisine" -- traditional recipes that represent different provinces. Such as arroz camagYeyano, rice with pork ribs and plantains from the region around CamagYey. Or salsa de perro, hog snapper chowder (supposedly an aphrodisiac) served in the hotels of Caibarien in the Las Villas province. Our waiter unveiled the latter by whisking the lid off a crockery bowl large and steaming enough to give us a facial. A hog snapper fillet, which can sometimes be tough, was meaty but flaky, bathed in a cream broth. Sliced white potatoes, onions, and green peppers gently flavored the soup. We didn't get an amorous lift from the chowder, but we were subtly wooed.
The chowder is a house specialty. Emilita Cordero, the proprietors' mother, taught executive chef Paul Prat her recipe. "Once we convinced him to stop putting red and yellow peppers in it, he was fine," Martha jokes. Prat, Corsican-born and French-trained, worked at the original Charade in Coral Gables (it burned down about two years ago) and the Ritz-Carlton in Paris. Cuban food has been something of a leap for him, but Cordero says he identifies with the Cuban cause because of Corsica's struggle to be free from French rule. At the end of the night he even steps out of the kitchen to sing "Guantanamera" in French.
I didn't stay long enough to rate his voice, but I did eat enough of his fare to judge him on his culinary efforts. Oddly enough, the French onion soup was miserable. The Swiss cheese-covered crock was filled with tender onions and a chunk of bread, but the broth had all the appeal of a day-old street puddle. Lobster bisque, a soup of the day, also failed -- we couldn't detect any shellfish flavor in the heavy cream.
Fortunately, the crabcake starter was a major improvement in the seafood department: pan-fried and densely packed with crab rather than breadcrumbs, and dressed with a cream sauce and caper berries. The only flaw here was a too-loose interior, a problem that also afflicted conch fritters. Crunchy and nongreasy on the outside, the filling was simply too moist to cohere.
Prat seemed more comfortable with entrees. The palomilla, two pounded flank steaks, were supple and juicy, braced by a squeeze of lime and a smattering of raw white onions. We found this a little too herby, however, as if the meat had been rubbed with thyme. Ditto the lamb chops, which were otherwise enjoyable. The three medium-rare chops were sauteed with whole cloves of garlic, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
Braised oxtail easily outdistanced the other main course meats. The four sections of tail were delicious, the stewed meat pulling off the bones without a struggle. A brown sauce, mellow with onions and carrots, was spooned over buttered white and yellow rice, the side dish that accompanied each entree. Sweet fried plantains, which Cordero imports from Hawaii, also garnished each main course. The starchy fruit also proved to be tasty as a tostones starter. Doused with Emilita's lime-heavy mojo, these four plantain slices were deep-fried yet grease-free.

Dear SirYours of the 18th is just recd [received] I should prefer N. Y. [New York] Draft if you can get it as it would cost less to send the money in that way than by money orders but if you cannot get this you can send money order payable at Lake City Colo.

Hoping to hear from you soon I remain

Man Utd 2 Boca 1: Who needs Ronaldo as Valencia scores winner on debut
Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful he has found two unlikely sources to help fill the goals gap left by Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid. While Michael Owen has been brought in to help bridge the gap left by Ronaldo's �80million move to Spain, Antonio Valencia showed on his Manchester United debut here last night that, with the right service, he can grab his fair share, too. And to further boost Ferguson's optimism his team can cope with the loss of the World Player of the Year, even Anderson managed to score his first goal in open play after failing to do so in 75 previous competitive matches for United. Anderson's goal - a sweetly taken 25-yard free-kick - helped United to a 2-1 win against Argentines Boca Juniors. Ferguson said: 'I hope this sparks Anderson off and gives him the incentive to be more positive with his shooting. 'Over the two years he has been with us he has had many close opportunities, hit the post and had saves. Hopefully, his luck changes and he will go on and score more.' Goalscoring was hardly Valencia's forte at Wigan, either. His record of just seven from 89 appearances will need to be improved. 'We have to think why he has not scored more goals,' said Ferguson. 'Maybe the way we play will give him more opportunities and he will get more. He created a good goal for himself in this game. He opened the space up for himself well.' Behind his team-mates in terms of preparation after missing the Far East tour due to visa problems, the game somewhat passed �17m buy Valencia by in the opening exchanges. He was not alone as Boca more than held their own despite this being their first game for two months. But the Argentines began to feel the pace as the half wore on and a lazy foul on Valencia just outside the box led to United's opener as Anderson's free-kick flew into the top corner. Valencia's goal came after he collected a pass from Wayne Rooney, glided past two Boca defenders before dispatching an angled drive which was too hot for keeper Roberto Abbondanzieri to handle. Fatigued or not, Boca proved a far more difficult proposition then anything faced in the Far East and when United's defence went to sleep, Federico Insua was on hand to volley home Cristian Chavez's deep cross in the 55th minute.

No, Folks. Sarah Palin Does Not Have to Run.
Tammy Bruce has a piece over at Big Government that just rubbed me wrong way this morning. She is a staunch supporter of Sarah Palin, and when I say "staunch", I mean that she is more aggressive in protecting Sarah Palin's interests online than anyone currently working for Palin. Well, she watched the debate last night, and some of the reactions thereto, and she's unhappy. Very unhappy.
One of the prevailing debates in the GOP these days (if not the only one) is whether or not Governor Sarah Palin will, or should, run for president. Not only should she, she must if the GOP has any hope of having a legitimate nominee whom everyone can support for the 2012 election.
Why? Without Palin in the race a massive segment of the GOP base—Tea Party patriots and other independent conservatives—will find themselves once again with the prospect of choosing from a manipulated field of Next-In-Line GOP establishment liberals.
I tried to understand those two paragraphs, but they just don't reflect what is really happening out there in the political world. Sure, there is a debate about whether Sarah Palin should get into the 2012 race, but it is by no means the only debate. There's this little thing called a deficit that we on the right are trying to tackle. Paul Ryan has a plan for rebuilding Medicare that's caused a pretty robust discussion. The economy is still staggering along and we're talking energetically about how to fix that as well. Clearly there are other debates happening in the GOP right now. In fact, I'd bet that most folks who consider themselves Republicans — and here I'm talking about the people who will go to the polls and flip a lever for a candidate in 2012 — care a whole lot more about the results of those debates than they do about Sarah Palin's future political career.
But even if Sarah Palin was our only concern, I'd still wonder what "manipulated field" she was talking about.
- Does she mean Tim Pawlenty, whose resume — degree from a non-Ivy League school, high-school athlete, business experience, city and state-wide office-holder, Governor, father, parent — is similar to Palin's?
- Does she mean Herman Cain, who has spoken at dozens, if not hundreds, of Tea Party events over the past two years and who has never held elected office?
- Does she mean Michele Bachmann, who has been closely involved with the Tea Parties since the beginning and who actually put political capital on the line to stand up for them to GOP leaders in Congress?
Help me out here. Which one of them is the "liberal"? Which one is the "Next-in-Line GOP establishment" type? Which one of them has less Tea Party cred? Which one of them is — and I can't honestly believe I'm typing this — a "stalking horse" aimed by the GOP establishment at Sarah Palin?
Oh, right. I get it. None of these people can win, even though each of them has proven they can draw a crowd and/or win an election at least as well as Palin has. None of them can win because they're all "liberals" who have been "manipulated" into running so that they…
…well, you know, I don't know what comes next. I think Bruce's argument is that the whole GOP primary field is just one big set-up by the Republican Party to push Mitt Romney (the "Mr. Next-In-Line" who Bruce refuses to name for reasons that absolutely do not, in any way, involve fear. No way!). This set-up, we're to believe, includes the candidate who has no strong ties to the party apparatus and the candidate who publicly duked it out with the leaders of the party in Congress just a few months ago.
That's simply not plausible.
For the record, I really want to see Palin in the race, officially and with her full attention. I honestly don't know if she'd win or not. I do know that can contribute ideas, enthusiasm, and experience that would serve the country, and the Republican Party, very well right now. I believe she'd be a formidable opponent and while I'm not nearly as sure she'd win as Bruce, I do know that any candidate who beat her would be much stronger than if they hadn't competed against her. She will be good for the conservative movement, the Tea Parties, and the GOP if she runs.
That said, she does not have to run. No one has to run for President. There is no "must" here and no "duty" to run because we are not in a situation where only one person has the ability to pull us out of our dire situation. Life is not a season of 24 and neither Sarah Palin nor Paul Ryan is Jack Bauer. There are plenty of people in this field with the executive chops, the wisdom, and the stamina to be a very good President for us. For that matter, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are not in the race (Sarah Palin included) who would do very well.
Let us remember something very important. The President can not turn this country around single-handedly. He or she can have a great influence on the decisions Congress takes, can attack stifling regulations in the Executive Branch, and a strong President can drive the public conversation in productive ways; but no President can pass a budget, raise or lower taxes, or cut the spending we need to cut. Whatever the GOP does in 2012 will have to be a cooperative effort between the President, the House, and the Senate and we will need strong people in all of those positions and outside of government. I say that because Sarah Palin can play an important part in an American Renaissance that doesn't involve a seat at the Resolute Desk. She can run for a Senate seat. She could use the millions she gets in PAC donations to form a think-tank or fuel dozens of new media outlets. She can continue to sift through candidates for Congress and endorse the ones she believes will do the best job for us. She has plenty of fantastic options.
But none of them enhance her personal profile, or the profiles of those who have backed her without reservation, like winning the Presidency would. Is that more useful to the whole nation? Of course it isn't. Sarah Palin would be a strong candidate, but she is by no means the only person who could serve us well as our President and no number of conspiracy theories and rants about "establishment liberals" will change that. In fact, the strident attacks against anyone who so much as looks askance at Palin only turn people off to her and I'm fairly sure that's not what Bruce wants.

But in contrast to silk, Viscose goes away quickly as well as attracts far more quantity of dust and dirt. Likewise carpets made out of polypropylene looks comparable to a woolen carpet, but are less expensive than the woolen carpet. It has a great heat padding capability and very durable as the name indicated. But it doesn't always have the heat regulation capabilities of the woolen carpet. Polyacrylis is quite similar to polypropylene in look and feel.
Having seen different types of carpet components, the next important subject to include is the carpet making techniques. You'll find six various techniques designed for making carpets this also technique is determined by the type of content that is used to create carpet. These are generally Hand knotting, Machine weaving, tufting,Loopand velvety piling, Fiber bonding as well as Hand pending. Hand knotting needs a lot of workmanship from the carpet weaver which is usually employed for making modern day carpets. Machine weaving strategy came right after hand weaving along with were capable of producing carpets that seemed similar to the palm woven carpets inside texture along with design. Piling is one of the popular methods that were used broadly to make carpets recently. Piling will come in two kinds, namely the loop adding and purple velvet piling and it is capable of making carpets that could are a longer duration. Tufting is another well-liked technique that's used by work from home carpet makers. At first it was completed manually manually. But, afterwards hand tufting devices were used contained in the tufting process.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I don't use Apple's Mail.app because it is just too restricting to suit me. Instead, I use GyazMail.app which suits me much better. The downside is that, to use MailSteward, I must export my mail files to UNIX mbox format and then import them into the MailSteward database. It's well worth the effort.
MailSteward, through all of its many revisions, has worked flawlessly for me. Now, with ~15,000 e-mails in the MailSteward databse, the new indexing feature has made it even faster to report search results (and it was plenty fast before).
Bottom line: MailSteward is a great program, in my opinion, and well worth the money.

NEWNAN, Ga. (February 25, 2011)—On February 18, 2011, PAPP Clinic signed an exclusive letter of intent to pursue an affiliation with Piedmont Healthcare, as part of Piedmont Physicians Group. The two groups are now working toward an agreement that will mold the partnership to include PAPP Clinic physicians. This opportunity to bring PAPP Clinic physicians together with the Piedmont family of providers in Coweta County is filled with great promise and in the best interest of the shared community served by both organizations.
PAPP Clinic is a multispecialty physician group with six locations and 11 medical specialties. The Clinic's roots in Coweta County date back to 1919, and the PAPP physicians have a deep understanding of the healthcare needs of the community. Coupled with a common interest in bringing together quality providers with the capacity to serve the healthcare demand in the community, a partnership will enable the two parties to work together in shaping the future of healthcare for area residents.
"With a common interest in providing quality care for residents of Coweta County, Piedmont Physicians Group and PAPP Clinic share synergies that make the relationship a natural fit," said Stan W. Smith, M.D., president of PAPP Clinic. "Both organizations have long, strong legacies of community patient care."
Since early 2007 when Piedmont Healthcare welcomed Piedmont Newnan Hospital to its family of providers, Piedmont has worked to grow and expand hospital and physician services, improving healthcare access and options for community members closer to home. Construction on the new hospital facility on Poplar Road at I-85 progresses nicely, and PNH leadership anticipates opening by spring 2012.
"The future of healthcare in Coweta County is even brighter today, as we work to formalize a PAPP Clinic partnership that will align our interests and vision," said Berney Crane, president and chief executive officer for Piedmont Medical Care Corporation (PMCC). PMCC is the administrative parent company of Piedmont Physicians Group (PPG). PPG has 11 office locations in Coweta County with 18 primary care physicians and specialists.

8 Iconic Superheroes Who Made Incredibly Dumb Decisions
Whatever good deeds they happen to gift upon the world, the superheroes we see on our screens also seem to…
Whatever good deeds they happen to gift upon the world, the superheroes we see on our screens also seem to have taken up positions as "purveyors of ill-judged decisions," many of which could have been totally avoided, had they stopped for a moment to consider what it was that was happening. No one can be perfect all the time, of course, and everybody is human (although there is a Norse God and a demon on this list, to be fair), and the superpowers present are a mixture of natural and man-made. That aside… accidents happen, right?
The general conclusion we can draw from this, though, is that sometimes these guys get a bit too excitable and either get caught up in their plans, or in the moment entirely, causing them to forget that they need to use their brains now and again; some of these decisions are impulsive and were made during a fight, whereas others were long-term plans in which the hero overlooked a fatal flaw for reasons we'll never know. I've even thrown in a couple of villains, just to mix it up a bit and show that everyone is equal in their occasional bouts of stupidity…
8. Spider-Man Constantly Takes His Mask Off For No Reason (The Amazing Spider-Man)
Andrew Garfield's incarnation of Spider-Man is just plain foolhardy. Seemingly every single time a battle grinds to a halt, or he shows any sign of exhaustion, or maybe he's just a tad hot, that mask just comes right off (at least in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy the only reason we ever saw Tobey Maguire's face when wearing the suit was as a result of it having been ripped).
This isn't so much a dumb decision as perhaps lots of impulsive movements on Peter's part, as he presumably wants more air but doesn't think it through to realise how many people could potentially see his face, especially when at his school, where people are bound to recognise him. There is barely any point in him having a secret identity and wearing a mask at this rate, though. Dumb.

The documentary takes audiences to the frontlines of Detroit, a city where some residents seem to think of arson as a sport. Detroit has more fires than any city in the United States: A population drop from 1.85 million in 1950 to near 700,000 today has left 80,000 abandoned structures as kindling. The result is a city with 30,000 fire calls a year — the highest fire-load in America. On average, Detroit sees 30 structure fires daily (firefighters estimate that more than 90% are set intentionally), while Los Angeles, with a population of 4 million, sees only 11 structure fires per day.

Overview | People | Sponsors | Publications | Hardware Requirements | Software | Training & Sample Data
*ORA is a dynamic meta-network assessment and analysis tool developed by CASOS at Carnegie Mellon. It contains hundreds of social network, dynamic network metrics, trail metrics, procedures for grouping nodes, identifying local patterns, comparing and contrasting networks, groups, and individuals from a dynamic meta-network perspective. *ORA has been used to examine how networks change through space and time, contains procedures for moving back and forth between trail data (e.g. who was where when) and network data (who is connected to whom, who is connected to where …), and has a variety of geo-spatial network metrics, and change detection techniques. *ORA can handle multi-mode, multi-plex, multi-level networks. It can identify key players, groups and vulnerabilities, model network changes over time, and perform COA analysis. It has been tested with large networks (106 nodes per 5 entity classes).Distance based, algorithmic, and statistical procedures for comparing and contrasting networks are part of this toolkit.Based on network theory, social psychology, operations
research, and management theory a series of measures of "criticality" have been
developed at CMU. Just as critical
path algorithms can be used to locate those tasks that are critical from a
project management perspective, the *ORA algorithms can find those
people, types of skills or knowledge and tasks that are critical from a
performance and information security perspective. Each of the measures we have developed
are calculated by *ORA on the basis of network data like that in the
following table.
Social Network |
Knowledge Network |
Assignment Network |
Information Network |
Needs Network |
Precedence Network |
*ORA can be applied both within a traditional organization or on covert networks.
Applying *ORA to an organization, key actors who by virtue of who they know, what they know, and what they are doing are potential risks to the security of a company can be determined. Applying *ORA to a covert network, key actors whose removal will damage the adaptability or performance of the covert network can be determined. A critical feature that is currently being built is a "sensitivity" indicator for each threat metric which estimates, given the level of accuracy of the underlying network, how sure we can be that the person identified as key really is key.
A prototype system exists that is set in the corporate context. It's focus is on locating potential "hackers" and assessing overall corporate information security risks from a personnel as opposed to technology perspective. It has been used by students to determine, given hypothetical organizations, the security risks endemic in different organizational designs and to assess tradeoffs in performance versus security of the corporate intellectual property.
At the CASOS Summer Institute, CASOS Ph.D. students have the chance to display and discuss their projects and work, including work on *ORA. The 2008 CASOS Summer Institute posters are:
"Unsupervised Plan Detection In Maritime GPS Data""Extending ORA for Spatial and Temporal Data"
"DNA of Simulated Comm Intercepts: Sample of ORA Capabilities"
"Social Network Change Detection"

hi to all, i'm new to site and praying someone can help. i have a 1999 mondeo estate 1.8 16v zetec . i locked the car last night went to unlock this morning and only the drivers door unlocked.. i had to open the passenger door from inside also rear doors..i noticed when i put the key into the ignition the warnig light next to the clock lit up and once started flashed. i also had a ticking under the dash drivers side. is there a relay down there somewhere that has gone. any ideas would be appreciated
June 23, 2012, 8:11 pm
Hi Pete,
First of all welcome to the forum.
Now your problem.
It could well be the central locking module has packed up.
Have you had any problems starting your car at all?
If no then there's no problem with your key or the immobiliser.
The flashing light will be showing a fault code, watch them closely and then search the web for Ford Flash Codes or look here at the 2 digit code charts.

thanks stoney but just a tad to technical for me. yes car starts and runs ok
June 23, 2012, 10:11 pm
I'd recommend heading to a garage then.
I still think it's the central locking module.

Background Adherence to first course treatment guidelines for breast cancer may not be uniform across racial/ethnic groups and could be a major contributing factor to disparities in outcome. In this population-based study, we assessed racial differences in initial treatment of breast cancer. Methods Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program data were used to study all primary invasive breast cancers diagnosed during 2000–2001 among Black (n = 877) and White (n = 2437) female residents of the five Atlanta SEER counties, counties with several large teaching hospitals. Differences in treatment delay, cancer directed surgery, and receipt of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormonal therapy were analyzed according to guidelines for treatment. Analyses utilized frequency distributions, χ2 tests of independence and statistics in and across strata. Results Black women experienced longer treatment delays, regardless of stage at diagnosis, and were 4–5 fold more likely to experience delays greater than 60 days (P < 0.001). For local–regional disease, more Black women did not receive cancer directed surgery (7.5% vs. 1.5% of white women, P < 0.001), but did receive breast conserving surgery (BCS) equivalently. Only 61% of Black vs. 72% of White women received radiation with BCS (P < 0.001). Black women eligible for hormonal therapy were less likely to receive it (P < 0.001). Conclusion Our findings suggest treatment standards are not adequately or equivalently met among Black and White women, even in an area where teaching hospitals provide a substantial portion of breast cancer care. Treatment differences can adversely affect outcome and reasons for the differences need to be addressed.

Who appeared in our first ever print ad?
When did you first hear about/notice United?
When I got a free copy of "Don't Matter" with my Ride UK Subscription. That was pretty damn awesome!
What year did you start riding?
What first got you into riding?
I used to skateboard a lot before I got into riding street/skateparks on a BMX bike. Hitting up spots on my board eventually evolved into doing the same shit on my bike and I just started having more fun riding BMX. I was also fortunate enough to live in city with a strong BMX scene and it was really motivating to see older guys killing it.
