8.6% Unemployment is NOT Good News
To read the first paragraph of the Bureau of Labor statistics one might think that the jobs situation in the United States has improved significantly. The unemployment rate fell by 0.4 percentage point to 8.6 percent in November, and nonfarm payroll employment rose by 120,000, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued… Read More »

"Good story, irritating narration"
This is another good Brandon Sanderson story. Although not as easy to buy in to the story as his Mistborn series, it is a good story with interesting characters and plot. If the narration were better, this would be a 4-star review.
The problem is the narration. Stresses on the wrong syllables, drawing out syllables, intonation in the wrong place for english speakers, all combine to make the narration very irritating to listen to. For example, if the narrator were reading this sentence it would sound like "for exaaaaaample, if the naaaaaaarrrrrator were reeeeeeeading this sennnnntence..." with rising intonation at the end like it was a question!!??!!
This is my first review and I normally wouldn't write, but I hope they don't use this narrator for future books in the series or for other audiobooks.

Mesquite Street new business mirrors multi-business past
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Mesquite Street multi-business enterprise that Brandon Gonzalez launched last year in many ways mirrors the past, when the block bustled with a variety of businesses between the early 1900s and 1940s, according to public records.

Looking at 'Made You Look'
Anyone have photos of 'Made You Look?' It has caught my eye, but its on the pricey side, so I thought I'd ask for your pic/opinions first. Thanks!
Yeah, Jo, it's that subtle, ruffled margin that gets me. I like Emerald Ruff Cut for the same reason, but I've read here that it is very prone to desiccation. I have Satisfaction and Seducer, both fantastic with the wavy margins, but Im still drawn to that subtle fade effect.
I thought Made You Look emerges yellow, not green...I guess I haven't really done my homework!
Here's a pic of my MYL. Not what I was expecting to see when I asked for it ... but Cindy assured me the green was due to it being in too much shade, then pointed out the left leaf going lighter...walked me over to the specimen growing in the garden...I guess I was reassured since I now own it . . . Lol
Unlike you, I did NO homework on this one...have no idea what it looks like when it emerges. . . lol...only saw a pic and couldn't resist its appeal!!!...btw, I really like your Seducer-a beauty!
I have 2 MYL 's growing in full sun and it's very yellow. The variegation is so subtle that it's barely noticeable and yes it does suffer from dessication. I fell in love with the pics of it but after 5 years I no longer care for it. If it croaked , I would not bother replacing it. Others may have had better experiences with it that they can share.
OOh Jadie, isn't that a sight to behold? Thanks for finding that! I just find that so elegant and serene and peaceful looking. . . so soft on the eyes.
Vanessa, yours looks lovely! Thanks for the pic.
Tim...Im guessing the variegation might become nondescript with too much sun exposure? Perhaps it's one of those that you have to experiment with to get good colour, as in Fire and Ice, and Whirlwind for example. This information will prove useful when I decide where to site it. I currently have it in aftn shade.
Jamie...you going to take the plunge yet? :-)
Thanks for all the input, folks! I may save this one for next year. I don't think the space I have available is quite right for it. I have room in a deep shade location and in about 4 hrs of pm sun. I think in those conditions MYL would either stay green or go to parchment. It has indeed made me look, but I'll wait till I have the right spot.

Best solution for carpet cleaning machine?
gardenfanaticSeptember 10, 2009
I'm going to rent a carpet cleaning machine. I have kids and 4 animals, so I need a carpet cleaning solution that can clean seriously dirty carpet. Suggestions?
I've had really good results with Zep Premium Carpet and Upholstery shampoo. I believe I got it at Lowe's.
When we moved to this house the carpets were quite dirty. I steam cleaned them twice--once to get clean and once to make me feel better about walking on them with bare feet! The cleaner works very well, and smells good, too!

A Lenten Reflection. Reading of John 1-2. Humility.
"That man is truly humble who neither claims any personal merit in the sight of God, nor proudly despises brethren, or aims at being thought superior to them, but reckons it enough that he is one of the members of Christ, and desires nothing more than that the Head alone should be exalted."
–John Calvin

Features & Benefits
Weigh up the Benefits With Our Car Insurance Comparison:
Comprehensive Car Insurance
Comprehensive motor insurance provides maximum protection for your vehicle by covering you against damage incurred in an accident, fire or natural disaster. It also covers you for theft, criminal damage and third party vehicle damage or injury.
If you're financing a new car, comprehensive car insurance is often mandatory for new and expensive vehicles.
Third Party, Fire and Theft Insurance
This level of cover is more affordable than comprehensive car insurance, while still providing cover against theft and hijacking, as well as damage caused by fire. This motor insurance option also protects you from paying for damage caused to a third party in the event of a car accident, although bear in mind that cover for damage to your own vehicle is limited.
Protect yourself and others with fire, theft and third party car insurance.
Third Party Car Insurance
3rd party car insurance is affordable but it doesn't cover your vehicle for loss or damage. It's therefore only recommended for older, less valuable vehicles that don't have any outstanding debt attached to them.
Becoming involved in a motor accident can potentially leave you with very high liability. For this reason, it's extremely important to have 3rd party car insurance cover, at the very least. Third party motor insurance covers accidental damage caused to a third party vehicle as well as injury or death to any third parties involved in the accident.

New Propaganda Tools – The Point A Foldie
Before there were zines, there were fingerbooks. An 8.5" by 11" sheet of paper cut in half and then folded into half small booklets, with high graphic content and relatively few words. I made a lot of these on different topics while I was working in Europe. There was one on consensus, one on reactors and the most popular one on open relationships which got translated into several languages.
I've sat at a whole bunch of tables in my day handing out propaganda. I watch people and what they reach for and pick up. From a collection of full size flat pieces of paper, a tri-fold and a fingerbook, a surprising fraction of the time, a typical curious passer by will pick up the fingerbook first. Often people will only take one thing and if you are in the propaganda business, you want to be first.
There was a Point A pamphlet, I did not have much to do with it, I really did not like it. The font was tiny, there were hardly any graphics, it was folded into an 1/8th of a page with some strange cut pattern which was confusing. As someone who had made a lot of fairly popular fingerbooks, it offended my sensibilities.
Recklessly, Trip left her email open. I fired off message to GPaul pretending to be her, complaining about the Point A pamphlet and asking if he and Lily would fix it. Not noticing that I had spelled incompetently wrong (a dead give away since Trip would never do such a thing), GPaul was both fooled and took the request seriously. A beautiful thing resulted from this spoof.
In the type of last minute scramble indicative of so many things in the Point A project, Drew [link blog], GPaul [link something] and Lily [link MatchMaker bio] pulled together a Point A "foldie" which is a kissing cousin of a fingerbook (no cutting thank you) in time for the DC Point A introductory event. Which was conveniently a few days before the PANYC Community MatchMaking event this weekend.
The world is a better place.
New Communities in Washington DC?!
We are constantly guessing when and what type of events we should be organizing in order to spark the new communities movement. This time we clearly guessed right.
We had about 70 people at this quickly organized event. We crowded the Keep with enthusiastic and chatty folks. Many were experienced community people but for most of the group this was relatively new stuff.
Lovely food and engaging conversation were had. After GPaul did a wild and woolly version of open space technology, we broke into working groups talking about:
- Gentrification
- Community as an Agent for Healing
- Addressing Sexual Assault in Community
- Starting Community Businesses
- Marginalization
- Starting EcoVillages
I was in the healing discussion group which was held in part in an empty Jacuzzi tub.
It was a lovely warm up for our content in NYC this coming weekend, the Community Matchmaking (see Facebook Invite) event. Here is the evolving program for that event, being held at the Brooklyn Free School.

When the Acute needs to be treated as Chronic
Crow screwed up. They recently acted out in a way that had made people feel uncomfortable and some even unsafe. It could have been any of a number of kinds of things: An intoxicated incident, a minor consent violation, a petty crime, even an especially poor choice of guest. The specifics don't matter. Crow knew that they had created a problem for themselves with Acorn and they were coming to me for advice. What could they do to make things better? How could they mend their frayed relationships with other members? At Acorn this answer is easy, you do what we regularly do, you have a clearness.
And it turns out that this is a very good thing. Many communities have self care mechanisms that feel punitive. As i have written, the Feedback system at Twin Oaks very often feels punishing, even though it often need not.
But because Acorn does regular individual clearnesses, adding another one to normal rotation almost always feels accessible. The clearness format is the same as a routine clearness (meetings with each individual member, checking in about their experiences of each other, and then a group clearness which summarizes all the individual clearnesses).
The lesson is clear here. When you are designing self corrective systems within a community, you need to consider how they feel to the users. It is not enough to insure the community is taken care of, these systems need to feel non coercive to the members who are going through them. The best way to have that effect is to have a familiar and non-threatening group communication facilitating tool. I think the clearness process is one of the better ones.
A week later i talked with Crow. They had done a bunch of clearnesses and felt much better about their connection to the community. They felt better understood.
The most common complaint about community clearnesses is that they take a lot of time. "Do i really have to talk to everyone else in the community one-on-one?" Only if you want there to be cohesion in your community. Only if you want to be able to fix significant mistakes people make and successfully rebound from it. You only need to do this if you want a healthy community.
For many people this is too much work and i think this is central to why so many communities fail.
Pressing the PANYC Button
Names have power. I spent years going to a summer environmental youth festival in Europe called "Ecotopia". Regular participants consider themselves Ecotopians. We talked about "Ecotopian Principals". When things went well, we marveled at the "Ecotopia spirit". It was originally the title of a book by Ernest Callenbach, who coined it in his 1975 popular classic, which was a prophetic tale of the Northwest region of the US succeeding and reversing industrial capitalism. But the name quickly went on to mean much more to many people. If we had, for example, called it Summer Green Fest, we would have identified with it less deeply and it might well have died a decade sooner. Some of the best names are ones which occur organically. I remember when we were designing an all womens anti-nuclear office in Prague which was staffed by internationals. Emily said "Why don't we just call it the Prague International Anti-Nuclear Office?" I said "don't you think that is a little long?" She said "We would call it PIANO for short, the acronym." Instantly there was no other choice, we just started calling it Piano from that day on. The Point A project wrestled a bit initially with what to call ourselves, we wanted a good name. But the more we talked about it, we realized that the communities that the project created would have their own names, identities and origin stories – so a good name would be nice, and i like Point A, personally. But it is not a brilliant name. Busy people compress things. Your goodbyes are shorter, repetitive tasks get shaved by seconds where you can and multi-word names you have to type repeatedly become acronyms. Point A has a growing number of specific urban sub-projects (including currently DC, NYC, Baltimore and Richmond). So i started writing Point A – NYC and then PA – NYC and finally PANYC. omg what a great name. We are often told "don't panic", not just in the context of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but to maintain order. From where i sit, if we follow this strategy the chances for the planet to survive are vanishingly small. The people who want us to stay calm are often the same ones who think Climate Disruption is not a thing. They think business as usual is the way to go and they most certainly think that we should respect the powers that be and the current authority structure.
I could not disagree more. We need to be panicking. We need to be doing things dramatically differently. Business as usual is suicide, convenient and lucrative for a tiny fraction of the population, certainly. But no less suicide for the planet and everyone we care about. Well see if the other folks in the project are as excited as i am by this name and the implications. But i have a spring in my step just thinking about it.
Community Supported Dumpster Diving
Supermarkets are hugely problematic. They distort purchasing behaviors, contribute to obesity, cut wages to farmers and more. There have been several responses to this situation, including farmers markets. The direct workaround for supermarkets is Community Support Agriculture or CSA for short. CSAs have customers buying shares directly from farmers and typically every week they get part of the harvest in a box they go pick up. When harvests are good, customers share in the bounty, when harvests are low customers agree not to complain, and as a result, they feel like they are in the game together with the farms.
CSAs give better prices to farmers by cutting out the powerful broker of the supermarket. They provide money faster to farmers, earlier in the season when they often most need it. They share the risk between farm and end consumer in a way that supermarkets have no interest in sharing. They typically offer better profits for farmers and lower prices for end customers.
Our fine friends in Freedonia have taken this idea to the next level. [If you don't remember Freedonia is our pseudonym for actual urban communities which are doing clever but illegal things in undisclosed locations.] They are starting Community Supported Dumpster Diving (CSDD) or what one communard calls Community Supported Gleaning.
Active dumpster diving collective households pull in dramatically more food from dumpsters than they themselves can use. Other collective households agree to sort, clean, prep, store and divide the bounty as it comes in (often at absurd o'clock in the morning). Finally a set of other collective houses come and pick up the recovered food and feed it to their people.
If you have not been dumpster diving in an urban area, you might miss the cleverness of this plan. Normally, dumpster divers are presented with a dilemma. There are 60 bunches of perfectly good banana's here, but if i bring them all back 1) we will never eat them in time and most of them will rot. 2) We will spend a bunch of time cleaning and storing them and will end up losing out on other dumpster bounty.
CSDD solves this problem in several ways. Crews get sent out knowing their own collective household need not clean and consume everything they rescue. By having the different people doing food prep from the people who are doing the dumpster diving, you avoid asking exhausted dumpster divers at 3 AM to then spend hours cleaning and in some cases food processing all the bananas. By spreading the dumpstered treasure over several different collective households, you share pro tips, strategies and critical information about urban dumpsters among a growing crowd of experts and don't burn people out by having to do so much dumpstering in an given week. By having separate crews doing cleaning and food processing, you rescue a greater fraction of the salvaged food.
There are complex discussions going on between Freedonia and other collective households. Who can join the CSDD? Is it possible to just buy shares (like in CSAs) and not do any of the work? How do we evaluate the different types of efforts, space needs, storage costs, administrative work etc?
But the Freedonians i spoke with said the project (still in early stages) is going fabulously so far, people are not sweating the details and are upping the collective dumpster diving game dramatically – dropping food prices for people living in cooperatives, reducing the amount of wasted food in the system and providing adventurous activities for people who might otherwise simply be sleeping.
i am excited about where this idea can go, and that it proves that by cooperating we can create a lifestyle which is both more resilient and more fair.
Presents for Propagandists
I am not into birthdays, including my own. Turns out if i simply turn off the Facebook birthday notification of mine, I can avoid the dozens of robotic "Happy Birthday" messages which I get from otherwise creative people who like me. I had a lovely birthday including a trip to the free STI clinic, an unrelated rushing around adventure and lovely conversations about forming new communities in Colorado. It felt like a good day to be alive.
As an anti-materialist, I am an unusually difficult person to get presents for. Most people don't even try. With the exception of my generous mother, it was almost a gift free celebration. Lovely.
But as the day ended, in the last look at email messages I got the most lovely present from Audrey from the far reaches of Quebec. Audrey is one of those shooting stars we get through the communes, who enchant us endlessly but we can't hold onto because they have other adventures that beckon them.
Without even knowing it was my birthday, she game me the most lovely of presents – a translation.
One of my favorite self-generated pieces of propaganda is a morsel of writing from way back called "Why I am an anarchist." There is a strange history to this piece, which includes that it exploded the collective that was supposed to turn a set of these essays into a book. But that is another story.
Audrey appreciated this proclamation and mentioned when she last left Twin Oaks/Acorn that she planned on translating it. And I did not think much of it. People offer these kinds of things with some regularity, but translation is non-trivial work and can easily get lost behind the rest of the things you are doing.
I am pleasantly surprised and gratified for my multi-lingual friends who help spread these radical ideas around. What a lovely unextraordinary day to be alive.
Whither Batman, Emerge Triple Threat Tony
She had me from "Batman".
It is intriguing to observe the cultural differences between the communes and New York City. On the last Point A trip, Acorn's newest intern (who back then was called Batman) introduced herself a few dozen times over the trip. No one blinked.
It was as though they had had dozens of people call themselves Batman before. Knowing there must be some revealing or at least interesting story, none of them thought it would be appropriate to ask for it. While on the communes, this introduction reliably drives the next part of the conversation.
But the origin of Batman was problematic, it hailed from a romantic partner who was no longer in the picture. So I suggested a naming party, and she embraced the possibility. She wanted a dual purpose new name. One which could embrace the exotic strangeness and quirky freedom which the communes could offer, while also having a more mundane nickname version which she could answer the business phones with. Nickelodeon could become Nick, for example. Prof Pocket could become Po. She, having a traditionally feminine given name, also wanted something which sounded masculine.
But Batman was a cool name and some communards were reluctant to give it up. Strandbeest in particular wanted to contribute by keeping the old name with a new origin story. When Batman challenged "What will I say when people ask about my name?" Strandbeest (who is now called Jayne – along with a half dozen other things – after the Firefly character, who is apparently both stupid and mean) countered "Because I am the hero Gotham deserves". Which in the early moments of last night's naming party was pretty compelling and almost derailed the entire event.
There were a few other attempts at new origin stories to rescue the old cool name from the ash bin of history, but it was not to be. Our vivacious new intern had fully embraced the idea that a new name was an opportunity and was compelled by the daring prospect of having a group of friends rename her from the very long list of possibilities.
She did of course whittle down this list. She was not going to be called Styrofoam, or Lasersnake or Ronald Raygun. Though to her credit she was willing to consider Styrofoam if there was a clever Babylon acceptable nickname which was spawned. But despite our best efforts none was revealed.
Acorn does not do naming parties like Twin Oaks does. We don't name our cars or our buildings generally. Names appear comically or organically or mysteriously without explanation. The event was well attended, perhaps because of it's novelty but more likely because she is an unusually well-liked new addition to our colorful hyper-family.
Besides the attempted new origin story, we also tried some new things at the naming party. It is not uncommon for us to reduce the list of names thru a number of binding polls. The first is usually that you have 5 up votes and 3 down votes. As an experiment after we had done a couple of elimination rounds, we did a non-binding round with three negative votes and single positive one – just to see what people were grumpy about. The least favorites were the more bland options, such as Dylan and Neil.
In the end, we choose "Triple Threat Tony", in part because this was a name that she herself quite liked. It satisfied the male identification aspect with Tony. It has the option of endless entertaining sub-names (I am calling her Triple Threat, others have compressed to just "Trip" or "Tone"). She will still answer to Batman, which some Acorners are unwilling to part with (perhaps this will lead to her name drifting into free fall).
And despite the name change, for me she will always be hero that Gotham needs.

- While I will be in Seattle this weekend for Emerald City Comicon, I'll be exhibiting in as head of Comic Bento. That said, while we won't have any BFE merch on hand, if you stop by booth #1301, I'll be more than happy to chat and sign anything you bring.
- Due to unforeseen circumstances outside of our control, we're losing James Silvani on this tale of NPC, with tomorrow being his last page. Taking up where he left off though is Rob Lundy, beginning this Friday with page 9.

Also, not super sure who this Costello kid is or why he keeps showing up on my front page.

There is nothing quite like seeing two big dick black guys going at it with each other. Dale Woods and Tad Williams really enjoy playing with each other, running their hands slowly up and down on each other. They really get into this hot scene, starting off by playing with each other's dicks. When you have big dicks like that you don't just stop at sucking them - you go all the way, but it's not the way you would think. This scene is very slow and sensual, the type of thing that you don't really see in gay porn, and especially black gay porn all that often.

Tiger widens PGA lead to 4 shots
CHASKA, Minn. -- Tiger Woods watched the last of his three straight birdies take one last turn and drop into the cup. Walking toward the hole, he nodded his head and dangled his tongue out of the side of his mouth, a swagger that spoke volumes.
He is on top of his game at the PGA Championship, and he knows it.
In blustery conditions and on bumpy greens, Woods made key par putts early in his round and big birdies toward the end for a 2-under 70 that gave him a four-shot lead in the final major of the year.
PGA Championship Leaderboard
1. Woods (-7)
T-2. Harrington (-3)
T-2. Fisher (-3)
T-2. Singh (-3)
T-2. Jones (-3)
T-2. Glover (-3)
7. Westwood (-2)
• Complete scores
The late string of birdies came in the final hour Friday at Hazeltine, and it changed everything. The final birdie putt gave this major that look of inevitability, with some frightening figures to back it up.
Woods is 8-0 in the majors when leading after 36 holes. He has never lost any tournament when leading by four shots going into the weekend. Of the top 16 players going into the second round, he was the only player to break par.
"In order to have a lead in a major championship, you can't be playing poorly," said Woods, who was at 7-under 137. "And all the times that I've been in this position, I have played well. And I'm playing well now."
Padraig Harrington, who tried to keep pace and hit one shot that Woods called one of the best he had ever seen, was asked after staggering to a 73 whether a four-shot lead was different when it belonged to the world's No. 1 player.
"What do you think?" the Irishman said, grinning. "That's self-evident. We're all well aware of his ability to lead in the front. He gets better from the front. I think he likes that position."
Accurate With His Woods
Unlike the first three majors of 2009, Tiger Woods has been spot on off the tee at Hazeltine and it's made all the difference.
|PGA Champ
|Open Champ
|U.S. Open
|*Missed cut
Woods was four shots clear of five players who have their work cut out for them.
Vijay Singh (72), U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover (70) and Brendan Jones (70), the Australian whom Woods beat in his return to competition in February at Match Play, all played in the morning. Harrington and Ross Fisher, who closed with two bogeys for a 68 to become the third player to fall out of the lead, had to cope with the fierce conditions of the afternoon.
It was Woods' largest 36-hole lead in a major since he led by five in the 2005 British Open at St. Andrews.
"I mean, yes, Tiger is the greatest golf I think we've ever seen," Fisher said. "But at the end of the day, he's just like me and you. He's just a human being. He just happens to be damn good at golf. So we've got to work really, really hard to try and compete with him and catch him."
Woods has not lost a 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour in five years, dating to the Byron Nelson when he was revamping his swing. He came to Hazeltine having won his last two tournaments, however, and appears to be hitting his stride.
His finishing kick Friday was particularly impressive.
He avoided his second bogey in three holes with a 12-foot par save at No. 12, missed a birdie opportunity to take the lead on the 13th, then poured it on. The tees on the 352-yard 14th hole were moved up, giving players the option of trying to drive the green. At only 299 with the wind in their favor, it wasn't much of a choice.
Woods flushed his 3-wood onto the green and just onto the fringe, nearly holing the eagle putt. On the par-5 15th, he hit 3-wood through the green and chipped to tap-in range to widen the lead. Then came the 16th, and a 20-foot birdie that allowed Woods to seize control as he goes for a record-tying fifth title at the PGA Championship.
"His game looked solid again today," Harrington said after playing with Woods for the third straight round, dating to Sunday at Firestone when Woods overcame a three-shot deficit to beat him. "I think he's in a good position. The reason he's a good front-runner is he can pick and choose his shots, and he's not been pushed into shots that he doesn't have to hit. And he's very good at that."
Harrington faced one of those shots, and it was a dandy.
Trying to get back into the game at the 15th, his ball on a slope in the bunker, Harrington thought the slope would help him reach the green, and he pounded a 3-wood that was perfect. It stopped 15 feet from the cup.
Woods called it one of the best shots he had ever seen, "worth the price of admission."
"He did say to me actually he would have paid to have seen it," Harrington said. "So I asked him for 50 bucks."
Woods gave nothing to anyone at Hazeltine -- not even himself.
Leader Of The Pack
Eight times previously in his storied career, Tiger Woods has owned the lead after 36 holes at a major. All eight times, he converted it into a win. How will No. 9 turn out?
|2009 PGA Championship
|2007 PGA Championship
|2006 British Open
|2005 British Open
|2002 U.S. Open
|2000 PGA Championship
|2000 British Open
|2000 U.S. Open
|1997 Masters
"There's a long way to go," he said.
Still, it was the first time Woods has opened a major with consecutive rounds under par since the 2006 PGA at Medinah.
He will be paired in the final group Saturday with Singh, one of his many rivals. They have not played together since the opening two rounds at the Deutsche Bank Classic in 2007, and not in a major since the first two rounds of the 2004 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which Singh won for his third major.
"Tomorrow, you position yourself," Woods said. "You have to make sure you're there and in position, and I know Vijay isn't going to make a lot of mistakes. He doesn't. He's going to be very consistent."
A dozen players from nine countries remained under par going into the weekend, five of them major champions. The group included Ernie Els, who rebounded with a 68 despite again missing a half-dozen birdie chances inside 8 feet.
Woods built his lead with birdies at the end. Equally important were pars throughout his round.
He made back-to-back 6-foot par putts, the latter after hitting into the bunker on the par-3 fourth, and regained control with a birdie from 20 feet on the sixth and a chip to 4 feet for birdie on the par-5 seventh.
Then came the struggle. After a three-putt bogey from 70 feet on the 10th, he had to scramble for par on the 11th by making a tricky 4-footer, then followed that by going from the right rough through the 12th green, an average chip and a 12-foot par that felt just as good as some of his birdies.
"I could have easily shot a couple over par," he said. "But I turned it into an under par round."
Not so for Phil Mickelson, playing his first major since the U.S. Open while missing most of the summer as his wife and mother battle breast cancer. Lefty again struggled on the greens, particularly the short putts that could have kept his round going.
He wound up with a 74 for the second straight day, the first time he has failed to shoot par or better in the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship. Only late in the day, as the greens turned bumpy, did he make the cut on the number at 4-over 148.
"I'm not going to beat many people putting the way I am," Mickelson said. "I've got to get this thing turned around."
For Woods, he again is headed in the right direction.

Oh I'd love a tour featuring only songs Alan was a part of...
My first instinct was that maybe Alan is producing. Appears Hillier and Christoffer Berg (Fever Ray producer!!) are doing that. Hm.Depeche Mode have started 3rd recording session for their new album. The new session starts after a two weeks break. Fever Ray producer Christoffer Berg who joined Depeche Mode in the studio alongside producer Ben Hillier tweeted on Saturday: "Back to the pit".
Maybe they're just fucking with everyone for giggles. Or maybe he is actually recording with them.
It was an amazing performance.
Where's Underworld and Mew? Make it happen GV.
...In exciting news for fans of Depeche Mode, information about the band's upcoming album has started to trickle out. Back in February, the band promised that their next record would be finished by the end of the year. *There hasn't been much news since then, until new
During an interview with Clash, Mode frontman Dave Gahan revealed that the band has laid down "close to twenty songs," at their California studio.
Gahan said that the album is going to be rawer than the band's previous material: "Just because it's another electronic record doesn't mean it shouldn't have a certain edge to it. That's what we're getting with this. That's what's exciting with the Depeche record. We're definitely going down that road, where we've got a lot more bluesy influence on it, and we're trying to retain that more in the recording and not get too over-fussed about details."
It also looks like the record will arrive some time next year, with Gahan aiming for Spring 2013 date. A tour is in the works as well.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
16 Mar 2012 14:01 GMT | Politics, Africa, Eritrea, Ethiopia
Eritrea has said Thursday's attack by its southern neighbour Ethiopia on its military bases is meant to divert attention from Ethiopia's illegal occupation of Eritrean territories."The objective of the attack ... is to divert attention from the central issue of the regime's flagrant violation of international law and illegal occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories," a statement from Eritrea's foreign ministry said on Friday."Eritrea ... will not be entrapped by such deceitful ploys that are aimed at derailing and eclipsing the underlying fundamental issues."Ethiopia said on Thursday its troops raided three military bases in the Red Sea state which it said were used by Ethiopian rebels. The assaults were the first on Eritrean soil that Addis Ababa has admitted to since the end of a 1998-2000 war that killed 70,000 people. Eritrea claims there have been others.'Hostile provocation'The statement came a day after Eritrea's information minister said his country was not ready to be sucked into renewed hostilities."It is those who do not know the price of war who are hungry to go to war," Ali Abdu told the AFP news agency."We fought enough for 30 years, and we will never be dragged into war through such hostile provocations as this."
He continued: "We do not support such groups, as these are the products of Ethiopia's own internal crisis and the result of a policy of exclusion and marginalisation."A vicious row over the position of Eritrea and Ethiopia's shared border remains unresolved since the end of the 1998-2000 war.The Hague-based Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission ruled in 2002 that the border village of Badme belonged to Eritrea.
Proxy warBut the village remains in Ethiopia and Eritrea blames the international community, and the United Nations in particular, for not forcing Ethiopia to accept the border.Analysts say Eritrea has launched a proxy war in lawless Somalia to weaken Ethiopia as it cannot match it militarily.President Isaias Afewerki's government has been slapped with sanctions for links with Somalia's al-Shabab rebels."I suspect there is little fallout to expect from the raid, unless Eritrea chooses to unleash one of its proxies, perhaps in Somalia," said J Peter Pham, director of the Michael S Ansari Africa Centre at the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank."Of course, if that happens, it would give the lie to Asmara's hitherto denials of linkages with groups like al-Shabab."Restraint urgedConcerned that tensions between the two counties could escalate, the US and France urged Ethiopia and Eritrea to show restraint and to find a negotiated solution to their differences."We have heard the government's reports that its forces struck military posts inside Eritrea today," Victoria Nuland, the state department spokeswoman, told reporters on Thursday."We are obviously calling on both sides to exercise restraint and to avoid any further military action."Bernard Valero, the French foreign ministry spokesman, said in a statement: "France urges both states to avoid military escalation and, more broadly, to avoid raising tension. France believes the only way of resolving the dispute between the two countries is through dialogue and negotiation." Valero said the incursion had targeted camps "which Addis Abeba accuses Asmara of using to train rebel groups operating on Ethiopian territory".
Eritrea has dismissed these claims saying that it will not retaliate against its neighbour. It termed the allegations that it harbours armed groups against Addis Ababa as a "baseless and bogus lie".

The UAE rises 13 points on Nielsen's Global Consumer Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2009.
November 9, 2009 10:42 by Dana El Baltaji
Consumer confidence in the UAE rose 13 points to 102 on Nielsen's Global Consumer Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2009, well above the global average of 89 points. The Emirates is ranked eighth out of 54 nations for consumer confidence during the quarter, up three places from the first half of 2009.
The UAE was also made Neilson's 'Top 10 Countries putting into savings' list, with 59 percent of residents putting aside savings after settling their expenses.
Furthermore, the study found that 75 percent to 100 percent of residents believe the nation is still in a recession, well above the global average of 66 percent. However, 30 percent to 45 percent believed the UAE will be out of the recession with the next 12 months, which is more optimistic than the global average of 26 percent.
Previously, the UAE dropped a whopping 21 points to 89 in the first half of 2009 from 110 in the second half of 2008, although it remained above the global average of 77 points. One in three UAE consumers believed the nation would be out of the recession within a year, and 36 percent noted job security as their biggest worry.

If Americans really want health care reform then our Government has to go back to the basics, specifically the tax codes that bring in revenue. Our tax system is over the top broken and there is a way to change that. S.296, the FAIR TAX bill is the way. Senator LeMieux needs to get on board with this bill, become a co-sponsor. The bill is going to revolutionize the tax system in this country, bringing back 11 TRILLION from offshore accounts, adding much neede revenue to the general fund and making April 15th just another day. Senator, please co-sponsor this bill and if you are not familiar I hope you do so soon!

You need to cut taxes, cut big government's invasion into people's lives, support and defend our Constitutional Rights and defend and protect America from foreign invasion(close the borders!!!). Read the Constitution. It's all there!!

sir I hope tonite as you eat dinner(probably steak and lobster) that you choke on it because there are millions of us out here out of work and are hungry. I need you to come tell my children that because of you there daddy can't afford to feed them and that we will be living in a tent before long. c'mon you have the guts to say no to an extension come face my kids tell them why because I don't have the answer.
I think it's time for the Unemployed to march on the Republican Senators where it will affect them most! Their homes pick a day how about the 4th of July. Obstructionist tactics countered by passionate tactics. Let them and their mega rich cohorts know we won't take it lying down. Here is Florida Republican Obstructionist U.S. senator George LeMieux's home address
2743 NE 30th Street
Lighthouse Point, FL 33064
- Revolution 06/28/2010 6:49pm
You are a disgrace to your country and should be embarrassed to have the UNITED STATES in front of your title.4th of July is upon us-it reminds us of history and how the people can come together to make a difference.I hope you and your family meet the same outcome as the 15,000,000+ unemployed.You turned your back on the Citizens by playing games and stupid antics.Assistance needs to be offered to ease the minds of the families and allow continued dignity no matter the cost. You spend OUR money like water and the American people MUST and SHOULD be priority one!
"As good government is an empire of laws, how shall your laws be made? In a large society,inhabiting an extensive country,it is impossible that the whole should assemble to make laws. The first necessary step, then,is to depute power from the many to a few of the most wise and good."
John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
Obviously we dont have the few wise and good in the senate-but we have the power to change that.
Dear Senator LeMieux,
S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are "unemployed through no fault of their own," and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I'll say it again— S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
- Revolution 06/30/2010 11:06am
You are a complete moron..people are sad because of the beach??!! They may be living on it soon due to your failure to provide unemployment assistance. You should be removed out of iffice for incompetency, failure of duty!

Looking at your voting record, it seems you've forgotten which state you represent! Why don't you listen to the people of Florida and hear what they need? We are your boss, not the Republican Party, Ben Nelson, or Blanche Lincoln. We didn't get to vote you in, but we certainly will have the opportunity to vote you out come November. You're focus needs to be on the long-term interests of FLORIDA and her people. If you think towing the party line will secure your political future, ask the Governor how that worked out for him. At least he finally woke up and remembered who he's suppose to represent. You and your pals are no different than the Carpetbaggers who came south after the Civil War to exploit us. Thanks to BP and your Party's chants of "drill, baby, drill", the people of Florida are waking up and taking note of who's really looking out for our interests.
Saw you on TV this morning crying about how the economy in Florida is so bad and how people are losing thier jobs and how Fl can't help because the state is in a bad way. You cry about BP not doing what they said they would do. Yet you vote no on the UI extension in fact acting like BP. It's all about the almighty dollar. I fail to understand how that makes sense. I feel sorry for the people of your state.
After all the calls, emails etc… Made to you asking for your yes vote on the dream act, you still did what most of your party members wanted and yet not what the people of Florida were asking you for. Just goes to show that its all about you guys in congress and nothing about what people of America want. Thats for this bill and most of the others that were or are being voted on. Who ever looks at this bill and still thinks it not a good, fair and fixing a problem, that needs to be fixed bill, is heartless. Immigration needs fixing, something needs to happen, people are still coming, people are not leaving and by not doing nothing, matter will just get worst. We need a immigration reform that fixes not just a fear path way for some, not all and fixes the borders and other issues but a immigration bill that makes total since. And to start fixing this problem, the dream act is a good way to start.
I understand that being in congress and having to vote can not and should not be a easy thing to do. But please, vote on what your heart says is right and listen to the people of your state, which most voted for you. When and if the time comes for a dream act vote please have a heart and try to see it from another point of view. Vote on this bill or any other bill with your heart on the people of this great country and not with your mind on your party only.
