Mary or Anne?
Orlaith has been around for centuries, and is the legitimate Irish spelling. It isn't defined by an individual who's lifestyle/dress-sense you happen to disagree with, and was on Big Brother once (nobody even cares about those people anyway. They're barely even a pop culture reference) Are you kidding?
I also find it interesting how people are against misspellings until it fits their lifestyle.
I think Orlaith Beatrice is beautiful, and pretty much perfect. I'd also add...
Orlaith Gwendolyn or Orlaith Guinevere
Orlaith Matilda
Orlaith Juliet
Orlaith Esme
Orlaith Meredith
Orlaith JessamyRosemary Una - Annabel Briar - Tabitha Lettice - Maude Evangeline - Fenella Pearl - Agnes Eilidh
names for dreamy, sublime little darlings. the smell of springtime air, freckled knees, damp hair. Soft evening light and fiery hearts.

Orlaith is a beautiful name, I like both spellings. Just curious, would you spell it with the fada on the O? Orlaith Beatrice is pretty but I'm not sure Orlaith Mary sounds quite right
From what I've seen of your previous threads you like classics, right?
Orlaith Colette
Orlaith Josephine
Orlaith Pearl
Orlaith VioletJust a 19 year old weirdly obsessed with names, no babies in the near future

Thank you everyone! I am leaning more towards Orlaith Beatrice too.
@stripedsocks - Orlaith Maeve is beautiful!
@oliviasarah - haha, thank you for defending Orlaith. I really love it, haha. I love Orlaith Juliet, so gorgeous!
@potofgold - Thank you, I do as well. I'm not sure what you mean about the fada, though haha. I love the classics, Orlaith Pearl, Orlaith Violet and Orlaith Josephine are delightful - i also seem to like Orlaith Elizabeth Pearl, Orlaith Josephine Pearl and Orlaith Elizabeth Violet.Sophie Margaret ❀ Florence Emma ❀ Lola Katherine ❀ Layla Bethany ❀ Maisie Alice ❀

Like when you google Beatrice or Annabel you get thousands of different websites and pictures (even in the preview on the main page) while when you google Orlaith, it's mostly this particular women.
I don't really get what you mean with the second part though.
Who misspelled something to make it fit their lifestyle?
Orla is a phonetic spelling that has been around for quite a while now. It is also a place name.Polly

Penelope Ada Leonor
looking for second middles:
Rose Wilhelmina / Penelope Ada / Flora Charlotte

Shantung in Trouble
Hi, this is my 2nd post. Since this was posted in what seems to be a dead thread, please excuse my repost as a new topic. I love my trees and this one may be in trouble. My Shantung Maple is not growing since the North Dallas drought the summer before last (summer of 2011). The tree was bought from a nursery in Gunter about 4 years ago and it was growing the first 2 to 3 years. It is about 12' high with the base maybe 6 or 7 inches in diameter. The tree is planted in heavy clay. There is a 10' red tip photina about 12 to 15 feet away. It is planted on the S side (backyard) side of the house bounded by the service alley (10' away), driveway (10') and the yard has little grass near the tree. Some expert guy told me his survived in sand with no irrigation during the drought so I figured I over-watered. Since then I removed the mulch and the soil is bare within the drip line. I'd guess there are 20 to 30 branches (highests branches) with the top 6 inches having no leaves since the drought, only leaf sprouts (or whatever they are called). I will examine more closely and maybe post a photo. Any help is welcome and sorry for such a long post. This uploaded pic is from August during the drought. I have scores of branches with 6 or more inches at the top having no growth, just what looks like bud about to start... but they never do it seems.
I had a bunch of Shantung maples at my old house south of Dallas. They tend to look like that toward the end of August if done wrong.
After growing them for 6 years, they seem to hate synthetic fertilizer during the summer. They ended up looking like yours. Late spring and fall when heat breaks works best to keep them looking good. I have several that are 18-20 feet tall shantung maples that looked very healthy before we moved last July. I hope the new homeowner don't fertilize too much during the summers. I did water deeply 1-3 times a month during hot and dry spell (both grass and trees benefit from that watering practice the best). When grass looks like it's about to turn yellow, I water deeply. I didn't have sprinkler system so I had to water manually with a sprinkler. About 15x15 ft section, I water for an hour then move to new section. Time consuming but everything looked great and healthy.
It looks like I may have Verticillium Wilt and I'm about to remove the tree after two years of no growth, other than about a foot of new growth over the entire tree (100+ branches) with tiny green and curled dark red and black leaves. Wasted about 6 years of my time and money on this Texas "super tree". :(

2013 Limousin Reserva, Marqués de Riscal(6x75cl)
Light gold colour. Complex and elegant nose with hints of vanilla, honeysuckle and wild fennel. Dense, mouth filling palate, with hints of nuts as well as of toasted wood and an underlying reminiscence
of fine lees.
2013 Finca Montico Rueda, Riscal(6x75cl)
A bright straw colour with hints of green. The typical aromas of verdejo can be detected on the nose with medium intensity. Fennel, fine herbs, white flowers, pear and nectarine are all evident. The palate is fat and fresh with a round, unctuous character and long finish. Lees ageing and good acidity allow the wine to conserve the varietal aromas leaving a fresh, aromatic and complex wine.
2013 Blanco Rueda, Marqués de Riscal(6x75cl)
Brilliant straw colour. Superb example of Verdejo varietal wine with a mixture of tropical fruit aromas and hints of fennel and fresh green grass. Refreshing mouthfeel, full bodied with a slight final bitterness which gives it complexity and the very characteristic personality of wines of this variety.

So I'm currently studying how networking works. I've got a bunch of packets from wireshark which I have already copied in buffers(only the content, without header. Wireshark->Follow TPC Stream->C arrays). I can understand the protocol but in the 3rd packet it requires a key exchange. After some googling I found that I need RSA encryption. It sends me a public key + token. And I shoud return encrypted shared key(just generated) and encrypted token which I received earlier.
RSA_key needs exponent and modulus, So my question is: How can I create RSA_key object from single char[] buffer(the public key).
NOTE:I'm posting here after long time googling. I may not be using the right keywords because I'm not english speaker. I could find threads asking this with php only. The most useful (I think) link I found is http://www.techper.net/2012/06/01/converting-rsa-public-key-modulus-and-exponent-into-pem-file/
P.S. I'm sniffing minecraft and simulating client side(I choosed it because its popular game and I knew I will find resources on the web if I get stuck). However my question is exacly how to get modulus and exponent from a public key with format: http://pastebin.com/J9ddhgW5 (thats the bytes representing the public key)
Ohh I forgot, first column is the byte position, second column is the byte value typecasted to int, 3th column is again value but (int)(unsigned char) so I can see if its +127, 4th colums is the hex representation of the value and the last column is character based on ascii table(if its visible character).

I'm getting so excited for my electric system! Sounds like a great upgrade. I need to set up a reminder to buy some 10-3 for the elements at the hardware tonight. Come on, Menards gift Cards!
Man,... That's a lotta hooch!Steel rig in progressebuild info
usually we pick a mash temp to determine the amount of fermentables vs mouthfeel. depending on how quickly you ramp, you'll get more of one than the other. to some degree you'll basically activate just about every enzime available to you during the mash. but since you're going through them in sequence and there's only a set amount of stuff to break down, you'll probably still end up with thinner mouthfeel and more fermentables.
I agree with slakwhere & cidahmastah.
The 122F step in my wit recipe is really a protein rest, not a conversion step. I'm getting the flaked wheat and flaked oats all set to party, and then ramping through my primary saccharification rest. That's the reason I'm going straight to 154, is to try to keep the beta amylase from having too terribly much fun and killing all the mouthfeel on the slow trip there. I let the 154 rest (which is mostly alpha amylase) run for a full 60 minutes before mash-out, not because I actually need to for conversion, but because I'm going for a crystal clear wort on this beer.
I suspect that if I were to do an iodine test on this mash that I'd be seeing full conversion well before the end of the 154 rest.
If you don't need to do a low step like this for say, a protein rest, don't. It's been suggested by numerous people smarter than me that a protein rest on a mash comprised of just modern, well-modified malts is actually harmful to the quality of the finished beer. YMMV, of course.

U.S. Penalizes Ukraine for Abetting 'Piracy' 671

You can find it in the spec for lots of copiers by searching the web for Counterfeit Deterrent Marking System.
I once spent 6 years of my life fixing photocopiers (Thank god I write code now). I can say that the comment above is absolutly not true. The technology used in all black and white photocopiers, and in all color copiers that use toner rather than a photographic process, does not have a high enough resolution to accuratly embed a serial number into the "pixels" of a copy.
It's hard enough just to get the black areas dark enough and the white areas bright enough much less having to worry about modifying individual pixels.
Moreover, most photocopiers work by shining a bright light on the original and using the reflected light off the page to effect the static charge on a selenium covered drum. The original is not scanned, modified, and re-broadcast onto the drum.
The new digital copiers do scan the original one time and then use a laser to "print" the page on the drum from memory, but then you have to ask yourself:
It's unfortunate that Gilmore makes these outrageous claims in an otherwise well thought out article. It seems to push him from the "well-informed protector of our rights" to "crackpot". I wish he would write about what he understands instead of resulting to conspiracy theories. There is enough evil in the RIAA without having to make up conspiracies.

text: Close PositionLB Jersey52Name David Harris Born 1/21/1984Height 6-2 Weight 250College Michigan SeasonCareerNotes2/24/2011 10:05:00 AMDescription: Harris signed his franchise tender with the Jets on Wednesday.Insight: We'll see exactly what that means when all the labor strife is sorted out, but Harris seems likely to stick around with the Jets. The versatile inside performer is a top IDP option. (RapidDraft.com) 2/15/2011 11:50:00 AMDescription: LB David Harris has been designated the Jets' franchise player. SOURCE: TWITTERInsight: Harris has amassed triple-digit sack totals three out of the past four years and has led the team in tackles over the last two. A key cog in the Jets Defense, it makes sense for him to be franchised over offensive free agents Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards. Harris will make roughly $10 million if a new extension isn't worked out before the start of the regular season. 8/24/2010 8:02:00 PMDescription: The agent for ILB David Harris confirmed that no long-term deal with the Jets is expected until after the NFL's labor uncertainty is lifted.Insight: The Jets are slowly getting their ducks in a row and putting the core players under contract. Harris will be given every consideration as soon as they are in a position to sign him. (RapidDraft.com) 6/17/2010 7:08:00 PMDescription: The Jets are expected to wait until after the season to address a new contract for ILB David Harris.Insight: Boy, the Jets sure have a lot of messy contract situations, don't they? Harris won't come cheaply and he is a fantastic IDP player to boot. (SportsBuff.com) 5/13/2010 8:05:00 PMDescription: ILB David Harris became the latest Jet to express hope that he gets a new contract this offseason.Insight: This story bears watching as the Jets have a horrible track record when it comes to keeping players happy in terms of contracts. Harris is an IDP player of great regard and is a tackling machine. (sportsBuff.com) 1/22/2010 7:44:00 PMDescription: Harris (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game.Insight: This good news for the Jets defense as Harris is an important part of their run stopping prowess. (SportsBuff.com) 1/15/2010 9:05:00 AMDescription: The NY Daily News reports that Harris will return to every-down duties on Sunday against the Chargers.Insight: Harris had been battling an ankle injury but finally seems to be getting close to 100 percent. (SportsBuff.com) 1/8/2010 8:29:00 PMDescription: Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for the wild card game against the Bengals.Insight: Both he and the team are saying he'll play, so that's definitely great news for owners of the Jets' team defense. Harris is their leading tackler and the job of limiting Cedric Benson would have been much tougher without him in the lineup. (SportsBuff.com) 9/14/2009 3:23:00 PMDescription: Harris had 11 tackles during the Jets' 24-7 win against the Texans on Sunday. He also had a sack in the game.Insight: Harris should benefit from playing in Rex Ryan's defense, playing a similar role to what Ray Lewis did in Baltimore. (SportsBuff.com) 9/3/2009 11:45:00 AMDescription: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Denver Broncos would ask for Harris in return in any trade scenario involving WR Brandon Marshall.Insight: It still seems unlikely that Marshall gets traded, but he may be leaving the Broncos no choice. The Jets do have a need at wide receiver. (SportsBuff.com)

Anyways, this is an awesome remix man! Keep it up! :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Viion, I don't know what you are talkign about.
It looped for me.
But anyway, sounds like you took of the bad parts and added epic sauce.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That's pretty damn good, I really like the use of some of the sounds.
What happens to the end, it just suddenly stops!
I think you should try some new sounds, alot semed plain and simple, the piano sounded very synth, guessing it's FL Keys?
Keep it up, going to listen to more!
New sounds, eh? That sounds like a good idea. I'll have to do some searching to see if I can get something smoother. Thanks for the review!
P.S. What do you mean "what happens at the end"? It doesn't loop for you?

2013 Infiniti JX SUV JX35 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
BEWARE...do NOT buy a vehicle from Infiniti. They are crooks! I bought a 2013 JX35. Within the 1st 100 miles we noticed the transmission was having problems. Everyone at Infiniti told us that we need to break in the car for 500 miles and that the car has a CVT transmission. Finally we got tired of the transmission continually jerking around and grinding between 10-35 mph and we brought it in. After 9 days in the shop they finally said they need to replace the torque converter. Done. After we picked up the vehicle, the car was doing the same thing as before, yet worse. Back to the dealer, same day. Finally we are told that they need to replace the transmission. Totally unacceptable. Infiniti

We bought the JX as the family car.
Loved the third row, and the fact that we did not have to take the car seat out to get to the third row.
Also, even with the seats up, there was a small trunk.
The interior room is great, especially in the rear.
However, between the terrible CVT transmission, and the poor gas mileage, I doubt I would buy this again.
This isn't a performance car by any stretch, but don't want it to be.
However, there are times it barely gets out of its own way - this I blame on the transmission as it seems to be constantly hunting for the best "gear".
Just makes it uncomfortable to drive.
As for gas mileage, we are around 15... far below what we expected.

I purchased my car in November 2012. Within a few months, I had a problem with a rattle underneath the back seat.
After taking it for repair, the shop informed me that they fixed the problem.
The problem recurred again and this time they informed me that they had to remove the dash to fix the problem.
The car has been back for repair five times for the same issue without addressing the problem successfully.
My efforts to have the manufacturer buy back have been fruitless.
This car is a a disappointment and the customer service is very poor.
This is not what I expected after spending so much much for a luxury car.
Customer care service did a very poor job in dealing with my problem.

I have 7000 miles on the new JX and would not buy again. The JX looks good, yes the interior is nice but the performance is lacking in a vehicle of this price range.
The JX struggles.. If you have not driven a vehicle with a CVT transmission Do Your Homework. It is awkward compared to a traditional transmission. The engine will rev at times unexpected ,it is much louder, and you get the feeling of downshifting. They give you a selector switch that you can turn to sport mode to make it feel like a traditional transmission (not) Understanding it is SUV/ crossover, it does not take to turns well comparable. Bottom line at this price It underperforms. Would take my CX9 Back tomorrow.

My husband was gracious enough to surprise me with the JX a month ago.
The JX is amazing!
The safety and technology features cannot be beat.
I have been researching a new car for a year, from highest end to mediocre and truly feel the JX is the best value for your money.
No, it is not the fastest at accelerating...but take it for what it is. It is a crossover/suv, not a sports car.
Gas mileage has been about 19mpg. My husband has a supercharged Range Rover and wants to trade cars with me frequently!?

We had a QX56 and loved it but the new JX does everything the QX did in a more user friendly, efficient and better riding way. Gas mileage has been decent while city driving in the high teens. The 2nd row has great leg room and the 3rd row can actually fit a 6ft adult comfortably.

Have spent a great deal of time behind the wheel of JX in comparison to Audi Q7. First off, hands down the JX has better technology (love the BCI!) than the Q7, and much move functional 3rd row. The JX is a great alternative to a mini-van if don't want that look, need the 3rd row and don't want the heft and size of a Armada/Yukon XL/QX56 type. From this perspecive it is much better than Q7.
With that being said here is why I feel the JX falls waaaay short of the Q7. First, the JX feels sluggish and the CVT transmission never seems comfortable in gear. Takes alot of patience to get going. Second, Infiniti's packaging is bizarre. Why do I have to get the theater package to get 20" wheels?

2013 Infiniti JX SUV JX35 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Looking for a car with 3 row seating that fits 7, including enough space for 3 children needing carseat/boosters, and 3rd row enough leg room for adults. Both Toyota Highlander and Acura MDX are nice but outdated. Almost got 2013 Pathfinder, but deal fell through last minute. Ended up with 2013 JX, 2 wheel drive, with premium, driver assist and theater package, at over $2K under invoice. Felt got a good value, considering Indinity badge, with nice features, and about $5K over top of line Toyota Sienna Limited.
Car is quieter than minivan, with better mileage (about 21.5 to 22.5 MPG) with 90% HWY. Await the crash test/safety rating.

My wife and I are in our early 40s, and we have a toddler. We wanted a car that has all of the practical amenities that we need for our kid and her stuff, along with the luxuries to which we'd become accustomed. The JX suited our needs better than any other vehicle on the market. Also, in the big scheme of things, it's actually a pretty solid value for what you get. E.g., we only paid about $5000 more for a JX that's loaded with the driver-assistance package and theater package than we would've paid for a comparably loaded Toyota Sienna Limited.

I fist saw the the jx at the 2011 La auto show and I loved it. Finally just what I needed something smaller than my armada than can fit 7 people in luxury. I was glad to find out it was in my 50k price range, so one year later we purchased it. We got fwd (I know should of got all wheel but it's drives just fine) with premium, divers assistance theater pkg. At first we took a look and drove the 2013 pathfinder which the Nissan dealer told us it's the Same thing as the jx. Well it's different. Not to mention the pathfinder interior is plastic fantastic! In conclusion we are glad we got the jx. We have put 6500 miles on it and not one problem. I highly recommend this crossover.

We enjoyed the buffalo chicken dip appetizer before diving into a piping hot pizza with the PERFECT crispy crust. The atmosphere is a relaxed, family-oriented sports bar theme. There are TVs everywhere so everyone has something to watch, if they care to. The Olympics were showing when we visited, but one TV was on Bravo for a Real Housewifes reunion episode. Service was pleasant and quick and both the starter and the pizza were outstanding. The only disappointment was that they were out of t-shirts for sale, because I'd gladly buy one for its cool, funky design. We'd definitely go again if in the area!

Woodmansee Park
Ricky Anderson 3 days ago
Left my green Echo Star Teebird on the soccer field yesterday. Name and number on it.
Jim Costello 6 days ago
Lost a white Prodigy D3 last Saturday on Hole # 11. It was a practice toss off the tee, ended up near the footpath by the right-side basket location (the basket's in the other location right now). Totally forgot to pick it up after my approach shot. :/
I have another one for you if that's the one I gave you :)
Yeah, it's that one, Rick. I was just starting to get more comfortable with it, too! I'll take you up on that offer (and be sure to write my ph# on this next one!!!).
Steve Moore March 19 at 6:35pm
Just back from round at Woodmansee and it is in need or some repair and cleanup. Most of tee signs need replacement and new acrylic cover plates. Also some have the top wood plates being loosened and ready to be taken now the top covers are gone. Course in general could use cleanup for the spring. Any plans in place by CCDG or will this need to be taken on by individuals effort again. Thank you and this should be handled as soon as possible before further damage done to course.
Steve Moore February 28 at 8:23pm
A big thank you for the repair work on basket #8. From what I can put together that thanks goes out to Barry B for his efforts. Stepping up again Barry puts another gold star next to your name in my book.
Thanks B!!
Barry to the rescue under cover of nightfall. the glow round saw him come through. Thanks again B.
Steve Moore February 28 at 8:16pm
Woodmansee work day was a big success due to the friends of trees, ivy removal coalition, and other assorted youth groups. Sorry to say no disc golfers besides myself made it out. We owe these groups a big thanks. Some of many pictures taken. Over 1000+ tree seedlings, assorted plants, and such planted today, lets treat them nice and let them grow.
Big thanks to all that gave their time this morning to work out at Woodmansee and improve the park!!! (as a whole)
<cough> no other disc golfers except my son and I.
Sorry Jim, my bad. Not meant, I drew a blank on you and son's name. Thanks to you, Ill be first to accept my bad
Jim Costello February 21 at 7:59pm
Found yet another disc today on hole 8/17. This is getting ridiculous! :) No name or number - looks brand new. My son will be glad to keep it if nobody can identify it.
I am wandering if it is the vibram i lost months ago
It's a Lat64. Sorry...
Rick Saffeels February 17 at 7:42pm
Jim Costello is to be given an award for the finding and return of not one, but two of my discs a month apart. Yes I should keep better track of my discs, but it's a great community of people who can return discs that aren't theirs. Keep up the good work to all those returning discs to their rightful owners!
your welcome...all of you...lol
Aww, shucks <kicks dirt>. Thanks Rick. The discs you gave me in exchange for returning yours are all the awards I need. Happy hucking!!!
Well Rick, clearly if you would just play your rounds with Jim you wouldn't be losing discs to begin with. ;)
Chris "The Lip" Lippert February 12 at 7:16pm
Hole 8 basket is in need of repair. Not sure what happened but the basket is being propped up by sticks at the moment
I'm going to put a picture of it on my page.
Thanks for update and I will pass info onto CCDG and see if they will handle it
Thanks Steve. I wasn't sure who is in charge of the course bit I figured this was a good spot to start
The basket has come completely unattached at the welds that hold it to the pole. Other golfers have propped it up with sticks but it should be taken care of as soon as possible. even just taking the practice basket over there for the interim time would be much appreciated.
The basket was broken before it was moved to the long position sometime in the last two weeks, so I'm guessing CCDG (or whoever's managing the course) is aware.
i believe i can tack it back together if we can get a key to get it out. i believe all the keys are broken
we can get it out hit up agro
key brokkkkke. might need to cut lock
he had two both broke?
we just moved the basket long about a week ago
he does have one. perfect!

Letter received from friends of trees about work at Woodmansee Hi Steve, I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to chime in here. The area we will be planting in does intersect the course near the northernmost footbridge in the park (though I'm not sure of the hole number/s 5/14? 6/15?). However, the work will not permanently affect any of the baskets or tees. That said, we will want to "close" these holes during the event. I will be posting signs next week to indic ... more
Letter received from friends of trees about work at Woodmansee
Hi Steve,
I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to chime in here. The area we will be planting in does intersect the course near the northernmost footbridge in the park (though I'm not sure of the hole number/s 5/14? 6/15?). However, the work will not permanently affect any of the baskets or tees. That said, we will want to "close" these holes during the event. I will be posting signs next week to indicate as much, but if you have an online forum that might reach potential course users, it would be great for you to post something there. Thanks much for the offer to help out.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but we will be partnering with the No Ivy Coalition in the park that day. They will be coordinating ivy removal I believe in the area just west of the north bridge, but I haven't gotten a confirmation on their targeted area/s just yet. Hopefully, this work will reduce the number of discs that get lost (and will likely turn up a few that have gone missing), and will help protect the ancient oaks from threats from this tenacious weed.
However, speaking of changes to the course, I do have a question for you. Basically, I'm wondering how you would feel (or think other course users would feel) about the young cherry tree next to the giant oak in the pictures below being removed. This is the basket for hole 2/11.
(I will try to get her pictures posted shortly)
I think this would be the right course of action, foremost, for the sake of the old oak, and secondly, for the sake of removing a nuisance species, though we would like to not negatively impact the course. We have removed the other cherries that were in the natural area next to the creek as this is a widespread nuisance tree--a non-native tree that often out-competes native trees for space and other resources (though we left 3-4 very large specimens as per the Parks department's request). I would have had the guys cut this one as well, but since it is part of the course, I wanted to check in with course users or the greenskeeper first. Are you the greenskeeper for this course? I have also recently contacted Barry Bolliver of Capitol City Disc Golf (who we've worked with at Cascades Gateway Park), but I haven't heard back from him yet. Please let me know how you think this alteration might go over. Thanks again for your offer to help at the planting and for your advice in this tree removal matter. And no need to worry about anything happening on this anytime soon. This just seemed a good time to ask the question.
Let me know what all think, I can live with it since for the betterment in the long run. Hope to see some folks to help out with this project. Thank you

Friends of Trees is partnering with the City of Salem to revitalize the stream banks along Pringle Creek as it winds through this beautifully wooded park. We will be adding additional Oregon white oaks and native shrubs to the areas recently won back from a Himalayan blackberry infestation. The No Ivy Coalition will be simultaneously leading ivy removal activities in the old oak grove adjacent to the planting area. Bring your disc golf discs for after the planting, as there is a challenging course that also runs through the park!
Please arrive around 8:45am to be registered and assigned to a crew. The event will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffeu200be, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!
Jim Costello January 12 at 11:37am
Found an unmarked Roc3 on #9/18's fairway this last Saturday. I'll reluctantly return it to it's rightful owner if identified. I'll happily add it to my arsenal if not! :)
If it is orange I bet its Rick Saffells (sorry for the mis spelling Rick)
I would second that because he had posted a lost one, contact him him here on the scene. Thanks for posting your find and trying to get it home, well done
Rick said his had his number on it. The one I found was naked. So now that everyone knows it's an orange Roc3, you'll have to get even more specific to ID this baby!
Okay PM
100% possitive it is mine :) Thanks!
Rick always getting his plastic back. Lucky duck! (GO DUCKS)
Does anyone have Jim's number?
Thats because Rick creates a lot of positive karma. Give and ye shall recieve.
We have a winner! Rick's getting his disc back, and here's the weirdest part: He may very well have found my Crank I lost many months ago, too!
Rick Saffeels January 5 at 7:51pm
I found a Crank that might have been a off shot from hole 17 or 9's fairway. Message me the color and stamp so I can get it back to you :)
i know discs sometimes travel. ive lost two cranks one was lime green esp with just the normal discraft stamp. the other was a pink esp crank that had huk for children stamp. maybe its the one you found.
Bummer. It's not those ones. I'll keep an eye out on those ones though
orange...pownar stamp
Man everybody losing cranks :( no... This has a name that was shapied out that origionally had red sharpie on the rim.
It's not a pale-green first-run, by chance, is it?
Dude!! Tell me stamp color!
That would be hilarious if we found each other's disc on the same course a few days apart
Damn! That would be hi-larious! I'm trying to remember, because it was quite a while ago that I lost it. And I'd only had it for a couple weeks then. Pretty sure it's got blue stamping, metallic-style.
Looked like this one, but not sure if it was a 1.3: http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server100/yt68tfv9/products/1061/images/1456/dis_espCrank_firstRun__80982.1411717180.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

Haven't been out there since before the series of stormy weather in the last month or so. Woods took some hits. Tree down on 4 at top of the hill, 2 branches down on 9, and other small limbs down around the park. Plus they are doing a restoration along the creek. Needless to say Woods looks different right now.
Thanks for update and I am aware of it. I will be talking with parks contact and see what plans are. Will update as I find out more.
probably won't get any quick answers due to holiday. If need be will attend next parks meeting in december
i was wondering if the tree <cherrie tree> on 4 might survive if someone cut it like a few feet up from the exsposed root ball then dug out around the root ball and stood it up then reburied the root ball. think it will survive?
I don't know about that. I guess there is a chance. Also on 4 someone chopped the small tree that is a few feet from the basket, and now it's split. It won't survive much longer.

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.

Steve Moore September 16 at 4:08pm
I will not be able to attend Tuesday 2's tonight but would like someone to confirm if the tent camp is still set up behind hole 1 long position just across the creek and hole 2 basket area by creek. Also how is course looking since I quit my work there for time being. Any work done at all yet? Thank you and have a good evening all.
Anybody able to update me on this or do I need to go by myself to check things out? Thanks
Steve Moore September 13 at 7:22pm
As the days get shorter and fall and winter approches, I am putting out a call to CCDG and if they have any plans in place for the Woodmansee course as far as repairs and getting ready for winter weather. They should already be aware of needed items and general disc public should be aware if they have plans in place for the course. If not then I guess I will need to take charge again and see what can be done at this time. If so then will be happy for any and all assistance. Thank you and see what happens.
And yes I have tried to communicate with them with out much response.
I guess since no response that means that things are not being taken care of the way they should.by the group that should handling things. I was specifically asked for my drawing files early this year which I gave to the club guessing it meant they would take care of signage and such. Still waiting ... more
I guess since no response that means that things are not being taken care of the way they should.by the group that should handling things. I was specifically asked for my drawing files early this year which I gave to the club guessing it meant they would take care of signage and such. Still waiting for a response so I know what to do next about this mess. Would be nice to get get courses ready for winter weather and bark dust/wood chips would go a long ways towards this. Thank you, Steve

25. Zac Efron
It's easy for teen heartthrobs to get stuck playing the same role over and over. Maybe that's one reason Zac Efron looked at his resume—three straight High School Musical flicks, not to mention the teen-friendly 17 Again—and decided it was time for a boot camp-inspired makeover.
"There's something about me that's always searching for the more challenging route, and the actors that I really admire are always picking things out of their comfort zones, trying to stretch to see where they can go," he told us. "It just seems like the road less traveled."
Learn how you can train for mental toughness and push through your limits.
To break out of his comfort zone, the 24-year-old actor packed on 25 pounds of lean muscle for his role as a soldier returning from Afghanistan in The Lucky One. Efron's transformation relied on old-school workout techniques—a five-day a week regimen of deadlifts, squats, overhead presses, and weighted pull-ups. Oh, and protein. Lots of protein. As in, six to eight meals daily, and up to 3,500 calories.
Is your workout stuck in a rut? Steal Efron's muscle-building routine and kick off your 2012 transformation.
24. Dwayne Johnson
Johnson is one of those rare stars who switches between high-octane blockbusters (Doom, Fast Five) and family friendly flicks (Tooth Fairy, Race to Witch Mountain) without skipping a beat (or losing selling power) at the box office.
(Related: How to Balance Work and Family)
This year, The Rock's in action mode, playing Roadblock in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Sinbad (that's the rumor, anyway) in Arabian Nights. Such professional flexibility, however, comes with a price: He often has to gain or shed up to 20 pounds to meet the physical demands of a role. "The key to rebuilding your body is to keep challenging yourself," says the former WWE champion. "I get solicited by trainers from all around the world, and it's very flattering, but my answer to them is always, 'If the day comes that I can't kick my own ass more than you can, then that's the day I'll stop training.'" Follow Johnson's lead to build your own "Rock-solid" physique.
23. Ryan Gosling
Gosling's abs may look photoshopped, as Emma Stone shrieked in the 2011 hit Crazy, Stupid Love, but there's nothing fake about his transformation from lanky guy-next-door to ripped leading man. Gosling's regimen, among other things, currently includes grueling two-hour Muay Thai MMA training sessions as the 31-year-old actor prepares for his role in Only God Forgives and The Gangster Squad. To help him maintain his lean physique, Gosling's trainers have also prescribed a traditional Thai diet of green vegetables, rice, and fish—and not, to our knowledge, any airbrushing.
Make your midsection look as ripped as Gosling's with these muscle-building, gut-torching moves from the Men's Health Fight Center.
22. Ashton Kutcher
When Kutcher's high-profile marriage to Demi Moore ended late in 2011, nobody could've played him for laying low and hiding from the press. But while the story received top billing on gossip blogs, Kutcher retreated into his work, signing a lucrative deal to replace Charlie Sheen on the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. He also found solace in the gym, where he's managed to keep his lean physique in tact thanks to a workout regimen that includes running, Bikram yoga, and Krav Maga.
Find out other ways Ashton Kutcher succeeds inside—and out of—the social fishbowl in this exclusive Men's Health interview.
21. Stephen Moyer
Actor Stephen Moyer may star on True Blood as vampire Bill Compton, but he shares one thing in common with the average mortal. "I find that I don't [work out] if I don't have someone making me," he recently told us. As season five of the hit HBO series gets underway, the 42-year-old actor plans to spend much of his time on screen with his shirt off (although perhaps not as much as co-star Ryan Kwanten). The thought of baring so much skin to millions of viewers was incentive enough to turn up the heat on his typical training gumbo: Push workouts, pull workouts, a little circuit training, some plyometrics and functional work, and a dash of sport-specific training. But his motivation extends beyond mere vanity. "I don't want my kids to look back on the show in 20 years time and go 'who's that slobby git'," says Moyer.
Follow Moyer's secret training tips to slay your own workout demons.
20. Michael Phelps
Take one look at Michael Phelps' lean, sinewy physique, and you'd have no idea that the 14-time Olympic gold medalist reportedly eats up to 12,000 calories a day while in training mode. Breakfast alone could mean a five-egg omelet, three slices of French toast, and three chocolate chip pancakes. Those carbs supply the energy Phelps needs to rip through a workout plan that involves swimming up to 50 miles per week, and lifting weights three days. "Over the last few years, I've started lifting more and more. More power cleans. More squatting. More free-weight squats," he told USA Today. While preparing for the 2012 London Olympics, Phelps also added a boxing routine to help firm up his core. "The only way to really get that is trying different exercises and keeping things more interesting and more exciting," he said. "That's the only way you're going to get better."
Punch up your own workout routine with one of these three Powerful Boxing Workouts.
19. Ryan Reynolds
While he started his career with goofball roles like National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Ryan Reynolds didn't allow himself to get pigeonholed as comic relief. Determined to become a legit action star, he packed on 20 pounds of muscle for the lead roles in movies like Blade: Trinity, The Green Lantern, and Safe House.
Reynolds, fittingly, refuses to stick to any one routine in the gym. "If you hate your workout, you're not going to do it," he told us. His other secret? A lean diet of eggs, oatmeal, grilled chicken, protein shakes, and occasional supplements. "I gained a lot more muscle mass when I went on creatine," he says. "And I never do any of that carve-starve crap".
Get ripped like Reynolds with this diet plan the actor used to achieve an incredible 3 percent body fat.
18. Mark Wahlberg
Whether he's acting, directing, or producing, Mark Wahlberg never gets too busy for the gym. Of course, it helps when the gym is conveniently located in the back of your house. The 40-year-old actor would often wake up long before he was due on set for The Fighter—which he also produced—to fit in a workout before a 14-hour day of shooting.
(Is your schedule as busy as Wahlberg's? Make time to get fit with the Men's Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts!)
Getting in shape for that role required an even more grueling routine—one that Wahlberg started two years earlier. "We'd start first thing in the morning with a run, 6 to 8 miles, either up hills or on flat ground," says the former rapper and underwear model. "Then we'd go have a gigantic breakfast and head off to the gym." The next five hours were filled with boxing, jumping rope, basketball, weightlifting, and core training.
The results speak for themselves. "I'm not as good a trainer as I am a student," says Wahlberg, "but boxing really is the ultimate workout. I'm moving, I'm alert. And afterward, I feel amazing."
All that extra energy helped Wahlberg power through projects like Boardwalk Empire, How to Make it in America, along with the upcoming Ted, Broken City, and Goodtime Gang.
Want to get your endurance up to Wahlberg's standards? Try his total-body boxing workout.
17. Dwyane Wade
The pressure on Dwyane Wade increased tenfold the day LeBron James started riding shotgun in Miami. That's a big reason why the 30-year-old Miami Heat star keeps his body in championship condition year-round with a workout that concentrates on core strength—critical to those quick bursts of acceleration.
And the best part is that it works both ways: All that running on the court can make your abs look better. Not only will you work your core as you sprint, you'll also burn off any excess flab. Try our basketball strength and conditioning workout to blast fat and reveal your six-pack.
And click here to read even more about Dwyane Wade and his training secrets.
16. Liam Hemsworth
Few things motivate a guy more than an old-fashioned sibling rivalry—and your brother Chris nabs the lead roles in Thor and The Avengers, well, it would seem you've got plenty to do to impress Mom and Dad. No problem for the 6'4, 22-year-old Australian, who whipped himself into peak condition for his recent role in The Hunger Games using a six-day-a-week weight training and cardio program that emphasized power-lifting moves with heavy weights and low reps. All the effort paid big dividends, too: Not only is Hemsworth slated to appear in the upcoming Hunger Games sequel, but he'll also show off his newly ripped physique alongside Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables 2. Your move, Chris.
15. Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig brought a muscular edge to the role of James Bond when he took over the franchise in 2006. He'll reprise that role again this year with the release of Skyfall, the first Bond flick since 2008's Quantum of Solace. With Craig still at the helm, Bond's become even more intense, more charismatic, and (incredibly) more ripped.
It didn't happen by accident, either. "I needed to get as fit as I possibly could," Craig told the British press. Want to become 007-worthy, too? Click here for Daniel Craig's total-body power circuit.
And for even more training secrets of the stars, check out The Men's Health Celebrity Fitness Center.
14. Jason Statham
Here's a preview of where you'll see Jason Statham this year: Playing a special agent in Safe, a mercenary in The Expendables 2, a thief in Parker, and a special agent—again—in Echelon. Translation: He's in no danger of losing his ripped, action figure physique, thanks in large part to a routine that packs several core-blasting workouts into a series of high-intensity, 35-minute sessions six days a week.
"Your body's like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode," he told us. "You hit it once with a hammer, bang! Get serious, do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense."
Feeling inspired? Get the workout that gave Statham such explosive results.
13. Blake Griffin
Mere weeks into 2012, Blake Griffin all but locked up the votes for dunk of the year with an unforgettable one-handed slam over the Thunder's Kendrick Perkins. (Even LeBron James—never quick to play down his own airborne achievements—congratulated Griffin on Twitter.) But Griffin's ability to keep adding to his legacy of highlight-worthy dunks, all while strengthening other aspects of his game, wouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the 22-year-old's work ethic. "In everything you do, you're going to face people more talented than you," he told us. "I set myself apart by bringing more energy than they do."

12. Taylor Lautner
CGI could only do so much to sell Taylor Lautner's transformation from regular high school kid to all-powerful werewolf in the Twilight films. Lautner did the rest the old-fashioned way, packing on an incredible 30 pounds of muscle over the course of a year, transforming his 5'10", 140-pound teenage frame into a ripped fitness animal. You might say that going from scrawny to brawny was simply a brilliant career move. But he isn't done yet: "My character continues to grow," says Lautner, who this year will step back into the role of Jacob Black for part two of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, "so I'd like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds."
Find out how the Twilight star made a beast of himself in the gym. Click here to learn Lautner's secret formula for a six pack.
11. Matthew McConaughey
We'll say up front that we prefer Matthew McConaughey when he's in jock mode while filming movies like We Are Marshall. But we understand why Steven Soderbergh chose to cast McConaughey as a veteran male stripper in the upcoming comedy Magic Mike.
Frankly, McConaughey looks the part—he's got the body of an elite athlete, and he seems to have a knack for strolling around with his shirt off. That makes it easy to jump into his workouts at anytime, with no rules, whether he's on location in Mexico or back home in the United States. Example: During an interview with a Men's Health writer, McConaughey picked up a decorative 20-pound cobblestones and began doing rows, presses, and curls—on the balcony of his hotel room.
(Learn to improvise like McConaughey with the Men's Health Big Book of Exercises!)
But the real secret to McConaughey's fitness success? He thinks not only in terms of what exercise demands of him physically, but also of how it rewards him psychologically. "Sometimes you can get the body in shape, but the head ain't in great shape," he says. "So it's real nice if you can coordinate 'em." And it turns out he has an eight-step program to do just that.
10. Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth didn't always have the physique worthy of portraying a Norse god—or a mythical hunter, for that matter, which he'll play in this year's Snow White and the Huntsman opposite Kristen Stewart. Hemsworth, in fact, had barely ever lifted a weight until he nabbed the lead role in Thor. Sure, he'd always been an active guy—surfing, boxing, and rugby are his favorite pastimes—but when it came time to pack on that kind of muscle? The kind that would put him in league with, say, Ahhnold and The Rock? He needed to hit the gym. Hard.
Hemsworth's effort paid off in the form of 20 extra pounds of lean mass. The secret to his success: Constantly varying his workouts so that his muscles never had time to adjust to any one routine. He regularly switched up his weight, reps, and even his lifting speed—and that's something that any man can do. Check out Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder Workout.
9. Orlando Bloom
Playing a magical elf in the Lord of the Rings movies didn't afford Orlando Bloom any kind of supernatural protection in the real world. And that's a shame, because the 35-year-old star could've used it. Among other things, Bloom's busted three ribs, both legs, his nose, wrist, and skull—mostly while playing sports. Oh, and then there's that three-story fall, the one that nearly killed him.
(Build muscle to stay off the I.R. this summer with the Men's Health Big Book of Exercises!)
Bloom's bumps and bruises, thankfully, haven't affected his appetite for risk-taking. But they have reinforced the importance of staying in peak condition to keep himself cast-free for the rest of his life (fingers crossed). He now does Pilates regularly, and he's taken up weightlifting, yoga, and tennis to help improve his flexibility and endurance.
Follow Bloom's plan to help injury-proof your body this summer.
8. Ryan Kwanten
Though his character may lack superpowers, Ryan Kwanten easily boasts the most otherworldly physique of all the cast members on HBO's True Blood. The 35-year-old actor didn't sculpt his body working out on machines in an air-conditioned room, either. Kwanten is a competitive triathlete—he was a professional at one time—and prefers taking his workouts to the trails rather than running on Los Angeles' 7,000 miles of blacktop. "It takes the tedium out of running," he says. "No two steps are the same." And instead of aiming for distance or heart-rate goals, he opts for routes with distinct midpoints. "Whether it's a high peak or the end of a beach, it's great to have something you can touch that lets you know you're halfway there. You don't find that on a treadmill."
Reveal your six-pack and stay fit forever with Ryan Kwanten's 20-minute ab workout.
7. David Beckham
David Beckham may turn 37 in May, but he's still just as effective a player now as he was at 18. "I'm still running 12 miles a game," the MLS soccer star told us. "I've definitely become more aware on the field. I know what my limits are, what I can achieve, and which passes I can play. I have adapted to my age." The result? The L.A. Galaxy won the MLS Cup in 2011, earning Beckham a club championship in a third country, after England and Spain, along with a new two-year contract to boot.
But Beckham hasn't let the success go to his head. Not only is he still one of the first men to arrive for practice every morning, he's also kept up a rigorous workout routine off the field, too—adopting resistance-movement exercises to compensate for performance losses and soft-tissue work to help his muscles recover. That sort of work ethic goes a long way toward keeping his critics quiet.
"I know that if I set my mind to something, even if people are saying I can't do it," he says, "I will achieve it."
Think you've reached your peak? Smash the limits of your prime with the The David Beckham Workout.
6. Kellan Lutz
Kellan Lutz understands the power of a six-pack. His abs epiphany came during an eighth-grade graduation party at a water park. "Before then, I never knew abs were attractive," says the 26-year-old, who plays vampire Emmet Cullen in the upcoming final installment of the Twilight series. "Where I grew up in Arizona, you would never see anyone without a shirt on at school. But when I took off my shirt, all the girls were, like, 'Oh, look at your abs!' And I was, like, 'Yeah!'" Psychologists call this "positive reinforcement." And Lutz instinctively knew what to do: Stay active.
To make sure his abs keep popping, Lutz uses a total-body circuit workout that includes a mix of core, upper-body, and lower-body exercises, all performed at a fast pace to burn calories and torch belly fat. Are you ready to have your own abs epiphany? Click here for Kellen Lutz's full-body blast.
5. Joe Manganiello
In an industry obsessed with vampires, werewolves have to work harder for the spotlight. Just ask actor Joe Manganiello, who spent five months muscling up for his role as the hulking, love-struck werewolf Alcide Herveaux on HBO's hit drama True Blood, which will enter its fifth season this June.
In order to play the supernatural shape-shifter, Manganiello needed to build legs like oaks and arms that other men could use for pullups. He started by enlisting the help of celebrity trainer Rob Mathews, who whipped Hugh Jackman into shape for X-Men. Mathews's prescription for success: A 2,500 calorie-a-day diet and two-a-day workouts that focused on total body circuit training. By the time Manganiello stepped on the set of True Blood, he had shed 10 pounds from his 6'5" frame and dropped his total body fat to just 8 percent. Ready to take your own workouts to the next level? Learn how to gain a pound of muscle every week.
4. Channing Tatum
If there's one thing every bankable Hollywood star risks, it's getting pigeonholed—playing the same old action hero, straight man, or comedic foil. It ain't a bad way to make a living, either, so give Channing Tatum credit: He refuses to get stuck. This year he broke out in the hit comedy 21 Jump Street, playing an undercover cop alongside Jonah Hill. That was after he'd already made women misty-eyed playing the hunk in romances like The Vow, and saved his fellow man in action flicks like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (a role he'll reprise this June). Clearly, his physique continues to impress, as Tatum's next role involves playing a male stripper alongside fellow beach bum and workout fiend Matthew McConaughey in the Steven Soderbergh-directed comedy Magic Mike.
Want an action-hero worthy body worthy of the A-list? Then check out this cutting-edge Hollywood workout. It's designed to blast fat and build muscle—faster than ever.
3. Kenny Chesney
While it takes enormous stamina to perform live in concert, it doesn't necessarily require a 29-inch waist, which musician Kenny Chesney is rumored to hide under his boot-cut jeans and cut-off T-shirts. Surprised? So were we. Given the titles of some of his biggest hits—"Beer in Mexico," "Living Fast Forward," "Tequila Loves Me," or his most recent hit, "Me and Tequila"—we assumed that Chesney's life was one big beach party. Little did we know that he takes his fitness seriously, working out daily with a trainer and eschewing traditional Southern-fried fare for a healthier low-carb, high-protein eating plan.
The extra energy helped fuel Chesney to nine American Country Music Award nominations this year. He'll need to keep up his routine this summer when he goes back on tour with buddy Tim McGraw. Sure, country music stars aren't known for sporting six-packs, but Chesney's body can rival that of any athlete or actor on our list. Want to upgrade your own exercise program? Click here for The Kenny Chesney Workout.
2. Taylor Kitsch
Not to give ourselves too much credit, but Taylor Kitsch's career only seems to improve with each Men's Health cover he lands. We first featured the 30-year-old actor when he appeared in the TV series Friday Night Lights back in 2007, and again in 2009 when he played Gambit in X-Men Origins. His third cover (last month) coincides with his biggest role yet: the lead in the action-adventure flick Battleship.
Rather than simply push weights all day, Kitsch mixes it up with an intense boxing routine. In the ring, he goes as hard as he can for 3 minutes, takes a minute off, and then repeats. "Keeping up that pace revs my metabolism and keeps it there all day," he says. The result: more stamina, but also cobblestone abs.
(Keep your ab routine on track every morning. Sign up for the Men's Health Daily Dose newsletter today!)
You don't have to don gloves to fortify your own workouts with the principles of pugilism. Just follow Kitsch's model: high-intensity interval training; rapid-fire changes; and an emphasis on all-around conditioning. It works wonders for any sport, in any gym, with any workout. But if you're ready for the ring, follow Kitsch's three rules of fighting for a better body.
1. Ryan Lochte
Last December, Lochte was named Swimmer of the Year after winning five gold medals at the 2011 World Championships. It was there that he finally and decisively emerged from the wake of his friend and rival Michael Phelps. Not only did Lochte, 27, vanquish the octo-golden boy in their head-to-head races, but Lochte's winning time of 1:54.00 in the 200-meter individual medley was the first new world record set since performance-enhancing suits were banned in 2009. Lochte didn't need a special suit thanks in large part to a world-class core strengthening routine.
"Swimming is 90 percent core driven," he says. "If you don't have a strong core, you're not going to be efficient." That's why he does 30 minutes of abs work every day, choosing from a menu of planks, hanging leg raises, Swiss ball moves, and medicine ball work. That translates to hard-core power in the pool. "The World Championships were just an appetizer of what I'm capable of doing," Lochte told us. "I know I had my best times, but I also know I haven't had those perfect swims yet."
Elevate your game in 2012 with these fitness tips from Ryan Lochte, Usain Bolt, and the rest of the world's top athletes!
