Anybody know the distance of hole 8 in its shortest position?
I might just go measure it. I think 345 makes sense if it's in the 10b position but not for the straight.
short pin is forsure 220ish. long straight pin is about 320 I would say. easily a 100 ft gap in between. and 8 super long aka 10b being 340 is believable.
I guess I just want to sell myself short. I aced it during glow on Tuesday and don't want to believe that it was that far.

I finally got out yesterday to play with the trees/nets and it was great. It definitely makes a few of the holes more interesting and forces you to take different shots than before (in a good way). As a side note, does anyone know if the giant pile of bark chips is a permanent obstacle on 15? If so, it also makes a great alternate teepad :)
Thank you to everyone who took the time to plan and plant the trees. You've made a wonderful park even better.
since you all running the club into the toilet are too ignorant to ask for input from those who want to improve our community<barry is an exception, i do appreciate eve time you contact me tobe involved> WOOD CHIPS ISSUE...i had delt with this poblem when i was greenkeeper for cascade and i fo ... more
Thanks for the reply, the bark chips are not a big issue. It's worth it if it will eventually be spread around under the baskets. Thanks for your efforts in improving the course, it is much appreciated!

Map of tree planting for Cascade Gateway tomorrow morning.
Join in if not doing anything else. Will wait to see how it comes out but some of locations seem to not make much sense to me.
I wish them well with project and glad to see something happening.
****in rob... i went to cascade today and the FINE ladies of "friends of trees" were clear in stating that the tree locations were chosen by a collective effot from one of thier own "Chris", Barry, and a city worker! personaly i think its amazing what was done at cascade today. maybe focus on that and have a lil mutual respect for those that "DO WORK"...steve included.
i was also informed there were an amazing 60 plus volunteers plus the "team leads" from FRIENDS OF TREE'S... out of that entire huge crowd they said only maybe 10 were crap city members.
And if you had any real involvement, you would have noticed that Barry continued to ask for input during this whole process. All you had to do was provide opinions of where tree locations would go. Barry announced that date for meeting with the city at cascades for putting the marks on the ground. A ... more

So is there no one from CCDG willing to answer up to simple question being asked for the good of us all? What is, if there is one, the plan for repair and upkeep of which local courses, regarding fixing needed items, finishing what needs to be finished, and getting courses in shape for this winter coming fast? I do not understand why some much problem on this topic when it concerns all of us that play the sport. Time to work together and grow the group and get things done, not work againest each other as it seems to be now. Thank you.

Never got around to posting about it when it happened, but about 2 weeks ago I lost a 2013 bag tag championship glow leopard in the blackberry bushes to the left of 17. Looked for it a bit, but looked like it went deep. Has name and number on it, would love the off chance of getting it back if anyone else has to go hacking out there.

If you're trying to get gifts to your loved ones by mail, the clock is ticking.
Today is "Green Monday."
It's one of the busiest days of the year for shipping companies and if you haven't sent out your package yet you could end up spending 30 to 50% more to get it there by Christmas.
After this week, ground delivery won't be an option for most people but keeping boxes small could help save you money.
"The zip code that it's going to, the dimensions and the weight. And of course, the larger the box, the more volume it takes on the airplane, which is air space so it does get a little more expensive even if it was a light package," Pete Armendariz said.
Armendariz says his Postal Annex store on the Westside has extended hours until 7 p.m. to help with shipping packages.
it's also open on Sunday.

The Nissan GT-R really didn't need a new speed record to remind us that it's a lotta car for a little buck – we remember that every time we look at its specs. But, in conjunction with LAV Productions company, Nissan went ahead and brought a specially outfitted GT-R to one of the coldest, least hospitable places on earth – Siberia – and returned with a new ice speed record.
Something about watching the world's fastest, sportiest cars rip across raw ice spikes our pulse, so we decided to ignore the fact that Nissan's ice record only relates to Russia and not the entire world (does every cold country really need its own ice speed record?). Bentley famously grabbed the world record of 205.5 mph two years ago in a specially outfitted Continental Supersports convertible.
While the GT-R's final number wasn't as high as Bentley's, the fact that the Japanese supercar did it without modification is impressive. Bentley attempted to keep modifications to a minimum, but did use a specially designed roll cage and braking parachute to increase safety. The GT-R was completely stock, according to Nissan. Plus, if there's one region on Earth where you should feel proud to own a non-world ice speed record, it'd have to be Siberia.
With Russian race car driver Roman Rusinov and auto journalist Andrey Leontjev seated inside its cabin, the 540-hp 2012 GT-R rolling non-studded Bridgestone winter tires hit 183 mph (294.8 km/h), bulleting across the frosty surface of the world's deepest lake, Lake Baikal.
The GT-R reached that speed on a 1-km (0.62-mile) timekeeping section, wedged between 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) of designated acceleration area and 3.5 kilometers of braking zone. A specially formed committee of the Russian Automotive Federation and a group of four judges from around Russia oversaw the run.
It's easy to get caught up in numbers and formalities, forgetting that this feat was done on a deadly slick piece of solidified water that we wouldn't want to tip-toe across. The video below brings you back to the ice.

200mph on ice. Because sometimes you really have to be the first one to the ice hole when the fish are bitin'

Its just not good enough if there is no ramp at the end to launch off.
For that matter, I wonder what the world record for height and distance through the air for a car.
Is anyone keen to take their lambo for a one way trip. Parachutes may be required.
Nairda10th April, 2013 @ 10:50 pm PDT
A nice achievement but 294.8 km/h aint 335.7 km/h as set earlier this winter by Nokia Tyres:

I have a Colt Officers and a Para P-12 both all steel frames.
I have always wanted to go with a 4" or 4.25" length with either one of those. I believe you folks are refering to them as CCO's?
Is it a major expense to have them converted or should I just go out and buy one built from the ground up?
Also any comments on how they are balanced? Front heavy?
I would rather not pay $500 or $800 for just having new slide and barrels if I can avoid it.
Any suggestions?

Arizona immigration law must pass the prejudice test
The Arizona immigration bill lacks enough safeguards against racial or ethnic profiling by police in the fight against illegal immigration. So, too, does the federal 287(g) program that allows local enforcement of US immigration laws.
Those seeking a firmer crackdown on illegal immigration in the US carry a particular moral burden. They must also call on law enforcement officials not to resort to ethnic or racial profiling when enforcing immigration laws.
This burden may fall particularly hard on Arizona soon.
The legislature in that state has just passed a measure that would require police officers to check the immigration status of anyone if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that person may be in the country illegally. The governor, Jan Brewer, a Republican, is now weighing whether to sign the bill.
With this act, Arizona – whose border is especially porous to illegal crossings from Mexico – would be simply taking a national trend one step further.
Local enforcement of US immigration laws has expanded since 2006, driven by rising popular demand to curb illegal immigration as well as support from Washington. Under a federal program known as 287(g), states and local agencies can voluntarily sign up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to act with federal authority in enforcing US immigration laws – but only while making arrests for local or state crimes.
The Arizona measure would drop that key stipulation and compel police to pick up illegal immigrants "when practicable." Citizens could even sue officials to compel such enforcement.

t another time, before the above-mentioned battle, the saint asked King Aidan about his successor to the crown. The king answered that of his three sons, Artur, Eochoid Find, and Domingart, he knew not which would have the kingdom after him. Then at once the saint prophesied on this wise, "None of these three shall be king, for they shall fall in battle, slain by their enemies; but now if thou hast any younger sons, let them come to me, and that one of them whom the Lord has chosen to be king will at once rush into my lap." When they were called in, Eochoid Buide, according to the word of the saint, advanced and rested in his bosom. Immediately the saint kissed him, and, giving him his blessing, said to his father, "This one: shall survive and reign as king after thee, and his sons shall reign after him." And so were all these things fully accomplished afterwards in their time. For Artur and Eochoid Find were not long after killed in the above-mentioned battle of the Miathi; Domingart was also defeated and slain in battle in Saxonia; while Eochoid Buide succeeded his father on the throne.
Of Domnall, son of Aid
Domnall, son of Aid, while yet a boy, was brought by those who brought him up to Saint Columba on the ridge of Ceatt (Druim Ceatt in Londonderry), who looked at him and inquired, "Whose son is this whom you have brought here?" They answered, "This is Domnall, son of Aid, who is brought to thee for this purpose, that he may return enriched by thy blessing." The saint blessed him immediately and said. "He shall survive all his brethren, and be a very famous king, nor shall he be ever delivered into the hands of his enemies; but in his old age, in his own house, and with a crowd of his familiar friends around him, he hall die peacefully in his bed." All this was truly fulfilled in him, as the blessed man had foretold.
Of Scandlan, son of Colman
t the same time and place, the saint, wishing to visit Scandlan, son of Colman, went to him where he was kept in prison by King Aid, and when he had blessed him he comforted him, saying, "Son, do not distress yourself, but rather rejoice and take courage, for King Aid, who has you a prisoner, will go out of this world before you, and after some time of exile you shall reign in your own nation for thirty years. And again you shall be driven from your kingdom, and be in exile for some days; but after that you shall be called home again by your people, and shall reign for three short terms." All this was fully accomplished according to the prediction of the saint. For in thirty years he had to leave his throne, and continued in exile for some time; and then being recalled by his people, he reigned not three years, as he expected, but three months, and at the end of that time he died.
A Prophecy of the blessed man regarding two other Kings, who were called the two grandsons of Muiredach Baitan, son of Maic Erc, and Eochoid, son of Domnall
t another time, while travelling through the rough and rocky country which is called Artdamuirchol (Ardnamurchan), he heard his companions, Laisran, son of Feradach, and Diormit, his minister, speaking on the way of the two above-named kings, and addressed them in these words, "O my dear children, why do you talk thus foolishly of these men? Both of these kings of whom you are now conversing are newly slain, and have had their heads cut off by their enemies. And this very day some sailors shall come here from Scotia (Ireland), and tell you the same about these kings." That same day some sailors arrived from Hibernia, at a place which is called Muirbolc Paradisi (Portnamurloch in Lismore), and told the two above-named companions, who were now sailing in the same ship with the saint, how these kings had been slain, and thus the prophecy of the venerable man fulfilled.
Prophecy of the holy man regarding Oingus, son of Aid Comman
hen he and his two brothers were driven from his country, he came as an exile to the saint, who was then wandering in Britain, and who, in blessing him, uttered these prophetic words from his holy heart, "This youth shall survive when his other brothers are gone, and he shall reign a long time in his native country; his enemies shall fall before him, while he shall never fall into their hands, but in old age he shall die peacefully in the midst of his friends." All this was fully accomplished according to the saint's words. This was Oingus, surnamed Bronbachal.
Prophecy of the blessed man regarding the son of King Dermit, who in the Scotic language is called Aid Slane
n another occasion, when the blessed man was sojourning for some days in Scotia (Ireland), he spoke in the following prophetic strain to the above-mentioned Aid, who had come to visit him: ''Thou must take care, my son, lest, for the sin of murdering thy kinsman, thou lose the right of governing the whole of Hibernia, as was first assigned thee by God for if at any time thou dost commit that sin, thou shalt not hold the whole of thy father's kingdom, but only a part of it in thine own tribe, and that but for a short time." These words of the saint were on this wise fulfilled according to the prediction, that after Aid had treacherously killed Suitne, son of Columban, he reigned, it is said, no longer than four years and three months, and that only as colleague in the kingdom.
Prophecy of the blessed man regarding King Roderc, son of Tothal, who reigned on the Rock of Cluaith (Alcluith or Dumbarton)
his same king being on friendly terms with the holy man, sent to him on one occasion a secret message by Lugbe Mocumin, as he was anxious to know whether he would be killed by his enemies or not. But when Lugte was being closely inquired at by the saint regarding the king, his kingdom, and people, he answered in a tone of pity, "Why do you ask about that wretched man, who is quite unable to tell at what hour he may be killed by his enemies?" Then the saint replied, "He shall never be delivered into the hands of his enemies; he will die at home on his own pillow." And the prophecy of the saint regarding Kina Roderc was fully accomplished; for, ac- cording to his word, he died quietly in his own house.

Promotional auto gift sets are great items to give away to employees or customers in a variety of situations and occasions. The car kits typically include a variety of safety items – such as small tools, flares, reflectors, a flashlight, etc. – enclosed in a soft or hard case. Many versions of the kits are available to fit any budget, from small glove box flashlight sets to large trunk cases filled with every imaginable safety item. Screen printed auto emergency kits include a company logo or other promotional graphic on the outer case of the kit to remind the recipient that your company cares about his or her safety and well-being.
Logo auto safety kits are a great way to remind employees or customers that your company keeps their safety in mind. When the time comes that they must use the kit, they are comforted by the availability of the kit and are reassured that your company can help them out of this, and other, tough situations. Even if the kit is never used, your customers or employees will keep the kit in their cars and see it every time they fill up the back of the car after a trip to the grocery store or load up the car for a weekend trip. This brand presence will keep your company in the front of employees' and customers' thoughts.
Promotional auto gift sets make great holiday gifts, trade show giveaways, and employee event giveaways. If your company is car-themed – such as a dealership, car insurance company, repair shop, or tire shop – these kits are a great choice. However, your company does not need to sell or repair cars to giveaway promotional car kits. Any event or business involved with safety is a great reason to give away auto safety kits. Consider giving this gift to employees after an annual safety seminar to remind them throughout the year that their employer cares about their safety. Any type of insurance provider could give logo auto safety kits to customers as holiday gifts, or even as a welcome gift when customers open new policies.

Football: Lions coach Stange gives up hope of reaching 2015 Asian Cup finals
Published on Feb 3, 2014 1:40 PM
National football coach Bernd Stange on Monday conceded that Singapore's hopes of reaching the 2015 AFC Asian Cup finals are all but over.
"Nobody can catch Oman and Jordan in this group - they are too good," the German, 65, said.
The Lions play their penultimate Group A qualifier against Jordan at the Jalan Besar Stadium tomorrow. Their final fixture is a trip to leaders Oman on March 5.
For the Lions - ranked 149th in the world - anything less than victory over the 72nd-ranked Jordanians will effectively end their hopes of reaching next year's finals in Australia. Singapore are bottom of the group with three points while Jordan are in second place with six.

Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade is hoping his strikers rediscover the goalscoring touch in time for the play-offs.
Kevin Lisbie and David Mooney have scored 32 goals between them this season but neither has found the net in the last six matches.
Instead it was left to winger Dean Cox to hit the target in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.
"Fortunately we all contribute," said Slade. "That was Coxy's 13th of the season and Moses Odubajo on the other side has helped helped himself to 10.
"So we have got goal threats all over the pitch which is very important
"Strikers' form will drift in and out, we just need them to return to form in terms of scoring sooner rather than later.
"But Lisbie's individual performance up front was excellent, at 35. He looked more like 25."

I've been programming professionally since 1990, first in C, then C++, and now in PHP. I've been doing proprietary web app development in PHP full time since 2003, including PEAR and Zend, heavy database (MySQL) development and, more recently, JavaScript and Dojo.
The team I'm on recently switched to .Net, so I'm learning C# and am becoming the team WCF guru.
At home, I'm still doing some PHP work. I've also started picking up Python for some desktop work.
I also have a smattering of design experience, having done most of the design work for several of our web apps. Our graphic artists make it pretty with graphics, but I do the design.
Finally, I love raytracing with POV-Ray, which you can see at my deviantArt account, listed as my website.

MSNBC Says "Everyone Has The Right To Free Healthcare, Education, Decent Housing, Quality Food" And….A Tree That Grows Money?
Do liberals even understand what the word "right" means? Judging by the latest promo from Melissa-Harris Perry at MSNBC, the answer to that question is "no." Here's what she said,
"Americans will always want some level of inequality because it's a representation of a meritocracy. People who work hard and sacrifice and save their money and make major contributions: we think that they should earn a little more. And they should have more resources. And that's fine. But we also however have to have a floor under which nobody falls. And if you're below that, especially if you're a child and you're below that, we are not going to accept that. You do have the right to health care, and to education, and to decent housing and to quality food at all times."
As a compassionate people, we should WANT everyone to have decent health care, education, housing and food. We already take some steps to try to insure that happens. However, there's a world of difference between WANTING these things for people, trying to make them happen and calling them RIGHTS.
This may seem like a minor distinction, but it's not. Rand Paul can explain why that's the case.
"With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to healthcare, you have to realize what that implies. It's not an abstraction. I'm a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you're going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses. (There is) an implied use of force. If I'm a physician in your community and you say you have a right to healthcare, you have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That's ultimately what the right to free healthcare would be."
If someone has a "right" to quality food at all times, does that mean that we have a "right" to force farmers to provide that food at gunpoint? What about housing? If you can't afford an apartment, does a landlord have to put a roof over your head anyway at a loss?
Melissa-Harris Perry would probably say, "Yes, that's perfectly acceptable." But, it's not constitutional, it's not the American way and ultimately, it's not a sustainable way to run a society. The Soviet Union could tell you all about that if it were still alive and kicking. So, why can't MSNBC figure it out?

BooHooHoo, BooHooHoo, Waaaah!!!! Waaaah! I am so tired of hearing the crabby old fart, stick in the mud lame duck, OH! my goodness Bible thumping Hypocritical morons cry about downtown noise or drinking or whatever complaint it is this week. Quit your whining and find something constructive to do with your time. Like maybe looking up the facts about your completely one-sided, lop-sided, view on life!!!! Stop making life difficult on others and get help for your introverted, prudish and stuck-up mental problems. There are those of us who can and do responsibly enjoy ourselves downtown. We would like to continue to do so. I like the variety of options our downtown provides. For you to try and limit these options to just the things you like is selfish. You are like spoiled children that throw a tantrum when things do not go their way. More power to the bar owners, the restaraunt owners, the shop owners and anyone else that wants to make a living in downtown Wilmington. To anyone else who wants to hurt or limit the businesses downtown from succeeding. I got one finger for ya!!!!

The kindness of a 93-year-old Manteca retiree turned on him with thefts of some $4,000 in cash, and other valuables from his bedroom closet lock boxes.
A 5-inch-long pipe bomb located on a Yosemite Park picnic table Monday afternoon by a man and his grandson playing ball was destroyed by Manteca Police bomb squad members at about 6:30 p.m. two hours after it was found.
A well-dressed motorist was stopped and arrested by police in the parking lot of a North Main Street drug store Wednesday morning after they learned he was in town. They searched him out on charges that included altering his pay checks from a Manteca business last October and a no bail warrant for a vandalism conviction.
It wasn't a banner year for criminals.
Four suspected gang members were stopped by Manteca Police Monday afternoon after two citizens called saying someone was driving throughout the community pointing a small hand gun out the window of a late'80s Honda sedan.
FRENCH CAMP – The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office has set up a system to allow witnesses to text message them with anonymous tips. The tip is sent to a main server that is not associated with any law enforcement agency. The Internet-based systems route messages through a server that encrypts cell phone numbers before they get to law enforcement, making tips virtually impossible to track. With the server stripping the text of any identifying information before sending the tip to the Sheriff's Office for which it was intended.
One teen was shot and two others received knife wounds Friday night inside and outside of the Marketplace Theater on West Yosemite Avenue in what police described as a gang fight involving teens dressed in red and blue.
LATHROP – Criminals only need opportunity to make you a victim. It's up to you to deny them that opportunity.
Manteca's crime rate has dropped for the 21st consecutive month.
Pour patterns found following a Sunday morning house fire led Manteca firefighters to believe the blaze had been intentionally set throughout the residence.
FRENCH CAMP – Two San Joaquin County Correctional Officers suffered minor injuries while trying to physically subdue a combative inmate at San Joaquin County Jail Tuesday morning.
Six teenage taggers with red and black paint on their hands were detained by Manteca Police shortly before midnight Saturday after the officers spotted fresh paint on 100 yards of sound wall.
LATHROP – The victim of a drug transaction gone bad in an area just south of Lathrop City Hall was able to call the police which resulted in the suspect being arrested and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail.
Six shots rang out near South Main Street and Mission Ridge Drive in what was an otherwise quiet Super Bowl Sunday afternoon. Three shots hit their mark.
LATHROP - The Taco Bell fast food restaurant on Harlan Road was robbed at gunpoint at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday with two men making off with an undetermined amount of cash from a register.
A Manteca oncologist has agreed to pay the federal government $550,000 after an investigation concluded that he fraudulently billed public insurers for cancer treatment drugs that weren't approved for use in the United States and then dispensed them to his patients.
A 31-year-old man barricaded himself in his home for five hours Monday morning in the 700 block of Amy Way after his girlfriend and her children fled the residence for their safety.
Shots were fired on a vehicle and a home about 9:30 Tuesday night in the 1100 block of Alameda Street just west of Cottage Avenue.
Setting fire to a gas station pump is a first in Manteca - even for an arsonist.
A 24-year-old man wielding a knife in front of a Lathrop coffee shop on Harlan Road prompted the evacuation of the entire center anchored by SaveMart shortly after the noon hour on Tuesday.
Ask Manteca Police Chief Nick Obligacion about the compliance with California's medical marijuana laws and he'll make a simple observation: "It's amazing how many 19-year-olds have back problems."
On the particularly bad nights Gloria Henderson still reaches for the ice cream.
It's been more than 10-months since the body of 22-year-old Kelly Marelich was discovered in a dumpster behind a Manteca dental clinic on South Main Street.
Both a former Hells Angels member and an associate responsible for the death of 26-year-old Danny Martinez in August of 2011 will spend at least the next decade in state prison.
Carlos Abraham Guiterrez, 19, was the murder victim from the Saturday night shooting outside the Straw Hat Pizza Parlor on North Main Street, according to the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office.
A witness' description helped Manteca Police catch and capture three juveniles believed to have been responsible for robbing the CVS Pharmacy on North Main Street Monday afternoon.
Felonies in Manteca were at their lowest numerical level since at least 2002.

curious to see your ebay link too ;)
interested in a couple things
I'd go with the black jean jacket. It's not everyday that you come across a black jean jacket--especially one that's been pre-distressed (seems like you like that thing). In addition, it might add more a bit more than the Becker Jacket. For instance, you can wear the jean jacket under a blazer or CPO. The good thing is that you can't really go wrong. Hope that helps.
Yeah. Kinda what I'm thinking.... versatility, layering, splendidness....
Yes, Isaac can be hit or miss at times. I've worked with Daniel and Jun at the bleecker location and both were very helpful.
How much??? I was thinking of doing it in the future on some Thorogoods or Red Wings, but figured it would cost about as much as the boots themselves (~$100) and maybe not worth the hassle. Picked up the 875 on ebay recently for $140 and a few colors of Thorogoods from Amazon for $100 shipped.
You can get the Vibram soles on ebay for $20. I figure labor is easily $60-80 for a welt job.

High drama at airport as aircraft proceeding for take-off is recalled to parking bay
A 28-year-old youth, against whom a look-out notice was issued by the Intelligence Bureau, was off-loaded from the Kuwait Airways aircraft minutes before take-off from the Thiruvananthapuram international airport to Kuwait on Sunday.
Highly placed sources in the airport said the youth, Kabeer, a resident of Koyampathudi, in Wayanad district in North Kerala, had been detained and is being questioned by the intelligence and security agencies at the airport terminal. The reason for issuing the lookout notice by the IB reportedly from New Delhi against the youth is not known.
The Air Traffic Control issued a directive to the commander of the KU 332 flight, on the request of the immigration authorities, following a tip-off that a person with look-out notice had managed to board the aircraft after completing all the immigration formalities and security check. The aircraft was taxied back to the parking bay and the youth was taken off the plane by the security officials.
The incident has come as a shock to the intelligence and security agencies as the youth had easily passed the security check. The immigration wing is managed by the Kerala police and the security of the airport is taken care of by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The incident comes close on the heels of the unconfirmed reports that two men, Omprakash and Puthenpalam Rajesh, against whom the Kerala Police have issued a look-out notice in connection with the incidents related to the murder of Paul George Muthoot on Saturday last in Alappuzha district, had managed to fly out of the country to Dubai.
Airport sources said this was the first time that a flight was called back on the request of the immigration after it had proceeded for take-off and a person with look-out notice was off-loaded at the international airport here.
The security agencies are tight-lipped about the details of the youth and the destination to which he was proceeding. The flight left for Kuwait after a delay of 30 minutes. It landed here at 6 a.m. and was to depart at 7 p.m.

McDonough County Strip Club Closes
The closure comes after the owners of Wildlife were sued for violating a state statute.
It prohibits adult entertainment venues from being within 3,000 feet of a property line of a residence.
Assistant States Attorney Justin Bougher said the owners were agreeable to the injunction.
The owners closed before the state's deadline. Bougher says they will not be subject to any penalty for the two-months that Wildlife was open.
"They were very straight forward they were very upfront," Bougher said. "They asked for the documentation and then to see what our proof would be. Took a look at it and basically said okay this all looks in order. There wasn't no petty squabbling. Everything went very smoothly and quickly."
While open, the strip club created controversy prompting the McDonough County Board to pass an ordinance to regulate future adult entertainment establishments.

Two adaptions of Shakespeare from that time stood out among Welles's early theater work. One was a ritualistic, voodoo Macbeth staged in Harlem with a cast of black actors. The other was a brownshirted Julius Caesar, set in Mussolini's Italy as a fascist parable. A prodigious phenomenon in his youth as actor, writer, painter, poet, pianist, violinist, and sketcher, Welles had been fascinated by Shakespeare since his early stirrings in Illinois (he was raised in Chicago). But it was during an adolescent sketching tour of Ireland, when he presented himself to Dublin's Gate Theatre and its two founders, Hilton Edwards and Micheal Mac Liammoir, that he essentially embarked upon a career as an actor.
Things happened quickly for Welles; he was nineteen in his 1934 Broadway debut, playing Tybalt in a Katherine Cornell Company production of Romeo and Juliet. The tall, handsome, imposing, booming-voice Welles was a natural actor for Shakespeare. That, in a sense, became his downfall in later years, when he clowned about in secondary roles, all the while maintaining a Shakespearean carriage and eloquence. He was an outsize theatrical personality before he became obese.
His Shakespeare on film is a less singular matter. Welles the actor and Welles the director weren't always the best combination, at least where Shakespeare's works were concerned. His Macbeth, made for Republic Pictures in 1948, came after Welles's highest pinnacle (Kane) and lowest ebb (The Magnificent Ambersons, which RKO truncated and reshot, stripping Welles of creative control, and The Lady from Shanghai, a critical and popular flop). The "Scottish play" was shot on a bargain-basement budget, a three-week schedule, with sets obtained from Republic's papier-mache westerns, and with the exception of Welles's intense portrayal of Macbeth's unbridled ambition, the cast included incompetent, inarticulate actors. Worst of all, despite the dark-hued camerawork typical of Welles's black-and-white work, his overall vision of the play was hardly as innovative as the Harlem Macbeth of more than ten years before. By any standard, it remains a problematical interpretation.
Then, immediately following, Othello was launched. As film critic J. Hoberman pointed out recently in his Village Voice review of this film, Welles was 34 years old at the time he started production in Europe. Not only was this the first time he had enjoyed complete artistic freedom since Kane, it was, ironically, the last time Welles would cast himself as a romantic lead. Othello was a cause celebre from the moment it began production in 1948 until its release four years later, when it shared the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival with Renato Castellani's fantasy, Two Cents Worth of Hope. Money was tight from the word go; cast members, like work schedules, came and went. In the end, having filmed a substantial portion of the film in the North African city of Mogador (before that, Rome and Venice), Welles entered Othello in the festival as, of all things, a Moroccan production.
For his adaption of Shakespeare's play about love, jealousy, duplicity, and revenge, Welles cast his Irish mentor, Micheal Mac Liammoir, in the pivotal role of Iago, with an ensemble of English and Irish performers lending support. In that respect it lends a happier result than in Macbeth - there's no language barrier. The acting is good, though not outstanding. There's a moving delicacy about Suzanne Cloutier's pale Desdemona, a fragility emphasized in Welles's overall, hypersensitive view of the tragedy. There's also one recognizably mainstream Shakespeare performance by Fay Compton, who plays Emilia with a large dose of saucy, pre-feminist wit.
What Welles imposes upon - or rather, removes from - the play's structure and verse is another matter. Shakespeare's five-act analysis of psychosexual ambivalence and the degree to which faith can be compromised is transformed into a brief, 92-minute-long paean to the fatality of obsessed love. Like Citizen Kane, there's a retrospective glance: The film begins with a somber cortege depicting Othello and Desdemona's funeral and Iago's imprisonment; as with Charles Foster Kane, the Moor's life is over before the story begins. Alas, many of the play's best speeches and soliloquies, such as Iago's "Put money in thy purse" to Roderigo at the end of Act I or Othello's "It is the cause" in Act V, emerge either as throwaway lines or disturbingly amended and abridged declamations.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
Commenting on the latest survey findings, Mark Goodburn, KPMG's Global Head of Advisory, said: "Businesses around the world are grappling with massive uncertainty that is driving down sentiment across the board. This data categorically demonstrates that the world is in the midst of a prolonged and deep crisis of sentiment. Clearly, the European contagion has already spread and is exacerbating weaknesses in other economies around the world. In particular, the manufacturing sector has seen a substantial drop in confidence, likely reflecting their exposure to a weaker global trade environment."
EU respondents in both the manufacturing and service sectors reported marked declines in optimism, falling to the lowest levels since 2009, when firms were still reeling from the post-Lehman global economic crisis. October's Pulse results show that the two biggest Eurozone economies, Germany and France, have suffered further steep declines in confidence. Growth across the euro area periphery is also forecast to remain weak with growth in Greece expected to outright contract. In fact, sentiment has weakened since June in all European countries surveyed with the exception of Ireland.
Concerns about the knock-on effects from Europe, combined with a continuing softness in global economic conditions, have also taken a toll on growth expectations in the emerging markets. BRIC area companies signaled a drop in optimism for the second consecutive survey period, reaching the lowest level in about three years. Much of this deterioration is influenced by falling sentiment in China, which has seen a slowdown in domestically-led expansion as a result of policy tightening measures, making Chinese firms the least optimistic of the BRIC countries.
"While most expected sentiment to drop in the Euro-zone since our last survey, few anticipated the declines that we have seen from the emerging markets and BRIC countries, which were widely thought to have rounded the corner on the global recession. However, it is worth noting that both Brazil and India have bucked the trend somewhat, with small gains made in the confidence of the services sector, a good sign that domestically-led demand is helping these markets weather the storm," added Goodburn.
Interestingly, US businesses remained among the most positive worldwide in their growth forecasts. However, confidence within the US market has dropped since June, with manufacturers in particular scaling back their expectations. According to survey respondents, lower business sentiment in the US reflects economic uncertainties both domestically and globally.
The latest survey results show that around 42 percent of manufacturers anticipate output growth during the coming 12 months versus 15 percent who expect a fall. The remainder reported either "same" or "don't know".
This is a downward shift from the previous Pulse survey (conducted in June 2011), where approximately 55 percent of firms predicted growth versus just 9 percent expecting a fall. Back in February, the corresponding figures were 61 percent expecting growth and 8 percent a decline.
In the service sector, approximately 44 percent of companies anticipate higher activity in a year's time against 10 percent predicting a decline.
In June of this year, around 48 percent of firms predicted growth against 10 percent expecting a fall, while in February these proportions were 55 percent and 9 percent respectively.
In line with forecasts for weaker growth of business activity, business hiring plans have also been revised lower since June. So while a net expansion of employment is expected overall, the pace of job creation has been downgraded for the second Pulse survey in a row. Sentiment over employment is particularly weak in Europe, while job creation in Japan is also expected to remain soft.
As a result of diminished growth projections, forecasts for investment have also been downgraded in the latest Pulse survey. Prospects for investment are generally weaker in developed economies – and particularly in the EU – where companies are forecasting largely stagnant capital expenditure and only a marginal rise in R&D spend. For their part, however, BRIC firms continue to report the strongest investment intentions overall.

Pulse – KPMG's Global Business Outlook Survey for worldwide manufacturing and services – is produced by Markit Economics on behalf of KPMG in the UK and is based on a survey of around 11,000 manufacturers and service providers that are asked to give their thoughts on future business conditions. The reports are produced on a tri-annual basis, with data collected in February, June and October. The latest survey was conducted between October 12 and 27.
The countries covered by the survey are the US, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Austria*, the Netherlands*, Greece*, the Czech Republic*, Poland*, Brazil, Russia, India and China. (*Manufacturing only)
Interest in the use of economic surveys for predicting turning points in economic cycles is ever increasing and KPMG's Pulse survey uses an identical methodology across all nations covered. It gives a unique perspective on future business conditions from Global manufacturers and service providers.
The methodology of KPMG's Pulse survey is identical in all countries that Markit Economics operates. This methodology seeks to ensure harmonization of data, and is designed to allow direct comparisons of business expectations across different countries. This provides a significant advantage for economic surveillance around the globe and for monitoring the evolution of the manufacturing and services economies by governments and the wider business community.
Data collection is undertaken via the completion of questionnaires three times a year at four-month intervals. A combination of phone, fax, website and email are used, with respondents allowed to select which mechanism they prefer to use.
KPMG's Pulse survey uses net balances to indicate the degree of future optimism or pessimism for each of the survey variables. These net balances vary between -100 and 100, with a value of 0.0 signaling a neutral outlook for the coming twelve months. Values above 0.0 indicate optimism among companies regarding the outlook for the coming twelve months while values below 0.0 indicate pessimism. The net balance figure is calculated by deducting the percentage number of survey respondents expecting a deterioration/decrease in a variable over the next twelve months from the percentage number of survey respondents expecting an improvement/increase.
Questionnaires are sent to a representative panel of around 11,000 manufacturing and services companies spread across the global economy in the countries mentioned above. Companies are carefully selected to help ensure that the survey panel accurately reflects the true structure of each economy in terms of sectoral contribution to GDP, regional distribution and company size. This panel forms the basis for the Pulse survey. The current report is based on responses from around 6,200 firms.

I often hear it said by anti Israel/anti zionists that America should stop giving aid to Israel. It seems to be first and foremost in their minds. Intrestingly, these people rarely have a problem with aid to an other country in the world. Ths article is written by a member of congress no less.
April 06, 2010, 9:30 PM EDT ,Commentary by Steve Rothman
April 7 (Bloomberg) -- The argument that American military aid to Israel is damaging to the U.S. is not only erroneous, it hurts the national security interests of this country and threatens the survival of Israel.U.S. support for Israel is essential, not only for Israel's national security, but for America's. Every bit of that support -- and more -- withstands all reasonable scrutiny.
Under the 2010 U.S. budget, about $75 billion, $65 billion and $3.25 billion will be spent on military operations and aid in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan during this fiscal year, respectively. Israel will receive $3 billion, in military aid only. There is no economic aid to Israel, other than loan guarantees that continue to be repaid in full and on time.
There isn't enough space here to discuss the relative merits of the expenditures in these other countries, but we already know the critically important return the U.S. gets for helping its oldest, most trusted ally in the strategically important Middle East -- the most powerful military force in that region, the pro-U.S., pro-West and democratic Jewish state of Israel.
Here's how.
First, it's important to remember that about 70 percent of the $3 billion aid must be used by Israel to purchase American military equipment. This provides real support for U.S. high- tech defense jobs and contributes to maintaining our industrial base. This helps the U.S. stay at the very top in the manufacturing of our own cutting-edge military munitions, aircraft, vehicles, missiles and virtually every defensive and offensive weapon in the U.S. arsenal -- with the added contribution of Israel's renowned technical know-how.
Research Cooperation
Second, the U.S. and Israel are jointly developing state- of-the-art missile defense capabilities in the David's Sling and Arrow 3 systems. These two technologies build on the already successful Arrow 2, jointly developed by our two countries, which is already providing missile defense security to Israel and U.S. civilians and ground troops throughout the region. The knowledge the U.S. gains from these efforts also has a positive multiplier effect on applications to other U.S. military and non-military uses and U.S. jobs.
Third, given Israel's strategic location on the Mediterranean, with access to the Red Sea and other vital international shipping and military lanes of commerce and traffic, it is critically important to the U.S. that Israel continues to serve as a port of call for our troops, ships, aircraft and intelligence operations.
Forward Base
Israel also has permitted the U.S. to stockpile arms, fuel, munitions and other supplies on its soil to be accessed whenever America needs them in the region.
Fourth, America's special relationship with Israel provides the U.S. with real-time, minute-to-minute access to one of the best intelligence services in the world: Israel's. With Israeli agents gathering intelligence and taking action throughout the Middle East and, literally, around the world, regarding al- Qaeda, Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas, among others, the U.S. receives invaluable information about anti-U.S. and terrorist organizations and regimes.
Fifth, imagine the additional terrible cost in U.S. blood, and the hundreds of billions more of American taxpayer dollars, if Saddam Hussein had developed nuclear weapons, or if Syria possessed them.
Then remember that it was Israel that destroyed the almost- completed nuclear reactor at Osirak, Iraq, in 1981 and Syria's nuclear facility under construction at Deir-ez-Zor in 2007.
Foiling IranAnd think about the many operations that Israel's Defense Forces and intelligence agents have undertaken to foil, slow and disrupt Iran's efforts to develop a nuclear weapons capability. A nuclear-armed Iran would threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the region, all of Iran's Arab neighbors, the world's largest oil supplies and those who rely on that oil. It also would provide anti-U.S. terrorists with access to the most lethal Iranian technology and probably set off a nuclear arms race in the region.For about 2 percent of what the U.S. spends in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan this year, Americans can take pride in the return on our investment in aid to Israel.And with Israel's truly invaluable assistance to America's vital national security, we can take comfort that -- in actions seen in Tehran and Damascus and noticed by al-Qaeda and other anti-U.S. terrorists everywhere -- the U.S. is safer and made more secure because of the mutually dependent and beneficial relationship between the U.S. and Israel.(Steve Rothman is a Democratic congressman from New Jersey who serves on the House committees responsible for U.S. military and foreign aid. The opinions expressed are his own.).To contact the writer of this column: www.rothman.house.gov

Time-Zone Processing with Asterisk, Part II
Last month, I wrote about a system for handling telephone calls with Asterisk that automatically handled the call depending on the time of day at a remote location. Use of the system, however, depended on the user performing the critical task of setting up the remote location's time with a telephone call. Rather than rely on the user to initiate the telephone call manually, it would be easier if the call occurred automatically.
If the setup call occurs automatically, the user won't forget to do it. The initial SIP registration may occur at a very strange hour in the home location, but the SIP registration occurs because a user has plugged something in. Therefore, we know the user is awake and can take a short call. Asterisk provides a management interface that reports when SIP registrations occur and can be used to take action based on it. With a bit of additional processing, a script talking to the manager can initiate calls only when the SIP registration is "new".
The Asterisk Manager reports events processed by Asterisk and accepts commands over the interface. The form of the interface is a text-based protocol that separates event reports and commands into clusters of lines with a key: value format. For example, the registration of extension 300 using the SIP protocol looks like this:
Event: PeerStatus PeerStatus: Registered Peer: SIP/300
Before gaining access to the Asterisk manager, clients must authenticate against the list of administrative users stored in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf. Once logged in, a client can issue commands or query the value of variables with a set of lines that starts with a first line of Action:, followed by a command. Responses to commands typically start with Response: Success.
Because the protocol is text-based, it can be scripted in a language like Expect. A component is also available for the Perl Object Environment (POE), a framework that builds event-driven programs in Perl. The freely available component provides the base-level response parsing that would need to be written in Expect, so it is a much more extensible foundation for programs controlling the Asterisk manager.
The main code for the program is simple. POE sets up a system where state handlers are called in response to program states. A state can be defined by the programmer or by an external event. The typical flow through the program is to notice a SIP registration, check to see whether it has an active time-zone registration and if not, to initiate a configuration call.
To execute code in response to an event, the POE framework uses a hash called CallBacks. Every entry in CallBacks defines a state based on the event received from the manager. When an event matches a callback, the handler defined for the state is triggered. To set up a trigger with the CallBacks clause, identify every line in the event and set up a hash so that the left-hand side of each line of the event is the key value for a line of the hash. As an example, consider the callback definition for the SIP registration event earlier:
Event: PeerStatus register => { 'Event' => 'PeerStatus', PeerStatus: Registered 'PeerStatus' => 'Registered', } Peer: SIP/300
To link the callback to a handler, the inline_states hash has a list of states and references to the corresponding code to call. Although it is possible to inline event-handler code, for readability I have separated the code out into external procedures. Code called in response to a CallBack cannot be passed arguments:
123456789*123456789*123456789*123456789*123456789*12 inline_states => { register => \®ister_state_handler, },
Based on the flow of the program, three events are of interest. First, SIP registration events are used to start the entire process. SIP registrations typically occur hourly, so it is important to initiate the call only when a registration is the "first" registration. To prevent duplicate telephone calls from being initiated, the program will request data from both the Asterisk internal database AstDB as well as the SIP peer information. The second and third events will handle responses to commands and database queries, respectively. A fourth event will handle initiating the telephone call after receiving data back from the queries. The code I am currently using also has a state defined for unregister events, though it is a stub for an event that I am not currently using.
The core of the program is only 35 lines, most of which defines the program event states and shows what code will be used in response to those states. Note that the state of call is defined by the program and not by a callback, so the call state can be entered only by the program itself and not in response to an event from the manager. (A full listing of the program is available on the Linux Journal FTP site; see Resources.)
POE::Component::Client::Asterisk::Manager->new( Alias => 'monitor', RemoteHost => 'localhost', RemotePort => 5038, Username => 'autotzcaller', Password => 'secretpassword', CallBacks => { input => ':all', response => { 'Response' => 'Success', }, dbresponse => { 'Event' => 'DBGetResponse', }, register => { 'Event' => 'PeerStatus', 'PeerStatus' => 'Registered', }, unregister => { 'Event' => 'PeerStatus', 'PeerStatus' => 'Unregistered', }, }, inline_states => { input => \&input_state_handler, response => \&response_state_handler, dbresponse => \&db_response_state_handler, register => \®ister_state_handler, call => \&call_state_handler, unregister => \&unregister_state_handler, }, ); POE::Kernel->run(); exit(0);
Two of the state handlers are only stubs. The input state handler prints out whatever it gets if a debug flag is set, and it is there for development purposes. It catches any unrecognized events that come from the manager, and it can be useful when testing that callbacks are catching the important events. The unregister state handler currently doesn't do anything, but it is there as a hook to expand if I choose in the future to take any action based on that.
With the core of the program in place, let's look at each of the states in the order they will be called through a typical program execution flow.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I've decided to put the details here as a comment. This is a montage of two shots, and I am interested to see if that gets picked up? The shot of the dancer was taken in a studio and I've changed the colour of the material to tie in with the lighting that was there in the illuminated vault. I've added a bit of shadow to the wall to try and make it 'hang' together.

Definitely does look like 2 shots but extremely well done
A lot to contend with in the 2 images
The sharp edges of the cloth and the leg against the black arch give it away
But having said that........Wish I could get something as close
Well done sir, a really good effort
