Asia Matters: RIMPAC and Chinese Spies
Thunder echoed far beyond the Pali this week, as Republican Congressman Randy Forbes of Virginia slammed China for sending a spy ship as an uninvited guest to RIMPAC — the Rim of the Pacific military exercises taking place in and around the waters off Hawaii through the end of the month.
Forbes, who chairs the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection, told U.S. Naval Institute News that "it is clear that China is not ready to be a responsible partner and that their first trip to RIMPAC should probably be their last."
While Congressman Forbes' comments managed to combine shock, horror and moral indignation, it's telling that the reaction from the United States military was much more pragmatic.
Referring to the presence of what's called an "auxiliary general intelligence ship" or "AGI" from China, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor said: "We're not surprised that it's there."
Capt. Darryn James said the Chinese ship is "operating in waters in accordance with international law and we do the same."
This week, China's state-owned Global Times issued a statement from the country's Defense Ministry, saying "China respects the rights of all relevant coastal countries under the international law, and hopes that relevant countries also respect the rights Chinese ships are entitled to under the law."
There is an irony about China's Defense Ministry citing "international law" in reference to coastal countries, since that is at the heart of a series of territorial disputes China has with a number of its neighbors in the East and South China Seas.
Near Hawaii this week, the Chinese AGI is outside the territorial waters of the United States, which stretch to a distance

A wideband enhancement sum mixer is shown to comprise a pair of matched GaAs diodes operative with a printed circuit wherein a portion of at least the sum signal, i.e., the sum of a radio frequency signal and a local oscillator signal, is caused to be mixed with the second harmonic of the local oscillator signal to produce an intermediate frequency signal in phase with the intermediate frequency signal resulting from mixing of the radio frequency signal and the local oscillator signal.
1. A balanced mixer wherein a matched pair of gallium arsenide diodes is disposed to produce an intermediate frequency signal equal in frequency to the difference, ωI.F., between the frequency of a radio frequency signal and the frequency of a local oscillator signals, such mixer comprising:
(a) a hydrid ring havng a first and a second input lead and a first and a second branch arm, the circumference of the hybrid ring being equal to 3λS /2, where λS is the wavelength, in the balanced mixer, of the radio frequency signal, the first and second input leads and the first and second branch arms being connected to the hybrid ring at points such that the radio frequency signal and the local oscillator signal, when connected respectively to the first and the second input leads, divide equally between the first and the second branch arms;
(b) a first and a second gallium arsenide diode connected, respectively, between a free end of each one of the branch arms and ground, each one of such diodes generating at a first signal having a frequency of 2ωLO, a second signal having a frequency of ω.sub.Σ, where ωLO is the frequency of a local oscillator signal and ω.sub.Σ is the sum of ωLO and the frequency of the radio frequency signal, and a third signal at a frequency of ωI.F., the first, the second and the third signal being directed over printed circuits toward the hybrid ring; and
(c) means along the printed circuit for redirecting a portion of the second signal back through each one of the gallium aresenide diodes in phase with the first signal to produce a fourth signal at a frequency of ωI.F. and in phase with the third signal, the sum of the third and the fourth signals being the intermediate frequency signal.
2. The balanced mixer as in claim 1 wherein the means for redirecting comprises:
at least one quarter-wave stub affixed to each one of the branch arms, the electrical length of each one of such stubs being equal to λ.sub.Σ /4, where λ.sub.Σ is the wavelength, in the balanced mixer, of the second signal, the point of attachment on the branch arm of each such stub being removed from each gallium arsenide diode by N(λ.sub.Σ /4) wavelengths, where N is an even integer for one of such diodes and an odd integer for the other.
3. The balanced mixer as in claim 2 wherein the gallium arsenide diodes are oppositely poled.
4. The balanced mixer as in claim 3 having, additionally, a first and a second bandpass filter disposed in series with the first and the second input leads.
5. The balanced mixer as in claim 4 having, additionally:
(a) an output lead connected to a selected point on the hybrid ring; and
(b) low pass filter means in circuit with the output lead.
6. The balanced mixer as in claim 5 wherein the input leads, the bandpass filters, the hybrid ring, the branch leads, the at least one quarter-wave stub, the output lead and the low pass filter means are fabricated as a printed circuit.
This invention pertains generally to radio frequency (R.F.) mixers and particularly to wideband R.F. mixers.
It is common practice in the radar art to downconvert received radar signals to first intermediate frequency (I.F.) signals by passing such radar signals through an R.F. mixer. One known way of improving mixer conversion loss is to use a so-called image enhancement mixer. Unfortunately, this type of mixer suffers from relatively large conversion losses and is practical only when the first I.F. signal is at a relatively high frequency and the signal bandwidth is relatively narrow. In an enhancement mixer the circuitry of an R.F. mixer may be arranged so that reactive terminations are provided with the final result being that the image signal inherent in any mixing process contributes to the power of the I.F. signals out of such mixer.
In any type of image-enhancement mixers being discussed it is necessary that some sort of filtering be provided so that only the image frequency signals (and not the local oscillator signals) may pass to the reactive terminations. In order to attain the requisite degree of filtering the image and L.O. signals must differ appreciably in frequency, with the resultant effect that the I.F. frequency must be relatively high and the bandwidth of the R.F. mixer be relatively narrow.
Phased-type image enhancement mixers such as those described in articles entitled "A New Phased-Type Image Enhanced Mixer" by L. E. Dickens and D. W. Maki, Microwave Symposium Digest, MTT-S 1975, pages 149-151, and "Phasing Type Image Recovery Mixers" by T. M. Oxley, Microwave Symposium Digest, MTT-S 1980, pages 270-273, obviate the filtering problem presented by conventional image-enhancement mixers. However, such image-enhancement mixers comprise two separate balanced mixers so circuit complexity and the requisite local oscillator (L.O.) power are increased.
With the foregoing Background of the Invention in mind, it is, therefore, a primary object of this invention to provide an R.F. mixer having a low I.F. output frequency and improved conversion loss.
It is another object of this invention to provide an R.F. mixer having low conversion loss and a wide operating bandwidth.
The foregoing and other objects of this invention are generally attained by providing an R.F. mixer wherein a wideband sum enhancement technique is utilized, such technique involving reactively terminating the sum signal, the second harmonic of the L.O. and the sum image frequency so that the I.F. frequency may be lowered substantially and the bandwidth may be increased.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of the invention will be readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a sketch illustrating, for the "small-signal" case, the relative amplitudes and frequency separation between various signals generated in a nonlinear mixing process and used in this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a wideband sum enhanced mixer according to this invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, it may be seen that an input signal ωS and a local oscillator signal ωLO form the signals of interest here; namely (1) a desired intermediate frequency signal ωIF that is the difference between ωS and ωLO ; (2) a sum signal ω.sub.Σ that is the sum of ωS and ωLO ; (3) the image ω1 of the input signal; and (4) the image ωJ of that is the difference between the second harmonic 2ωLO of ωLO and ωIF. The second harmonic of ωLO is shown in broken line. The relative amplitudes of the various signals are qualitatively indicated by the lengths of the lines.
It will be appreciated that if the sum signal ωE were to be mixed with the second harmonic 2ωLO, the resultant signal (ω.sub.Σ -2LO) would be in phase with the desired intermediate frequency ωIF. It will also be appreciated that if the image ω1 were to be mixed with the local oscillator signal ωLO (or if the image ωJ were to be mixed with the second harmonic 2ωLO of the local oscillator signal ωLO) the frequency of the resultant signal would also be the same as the frequency of the desired intermediate frequency signal ωIF. However, the phase of the resultant signal (if either image were to be mixed with its corresponding local oscillator signal as just indicated) would be displaced by 180� relative to the phase of the desired intermediate frequency signal ωIF.
It is evident from the foregoing that the conversion loss of a mixer may be reduced if some, if not all, of the various signals of interest in addition to the desired intermediate frequency signal ωIF were to be utilized. Thus, as described by M. C. Torrey and C. A. Whitmer in the text "Crystal Rectifiers" (Volume 15 of the MIT Radiation Laboratories) published by McGraw-Hill, New York, 1948, a technique for utilizing the image ω1 is described.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a plan view of a mixer (not numbered) that is effective to utilize the sum signal ω.sub.Σ is shown. In the illustrated embodiment conventional microstrip techniques are used to fabricate the contemplated circuitry on one surface of a substrate 11, here a sheet of alumina. It will be understood that the hidden side of the substrate 11 is covered with a conventional electrically conductive material to form a ground plane. A signal lead 15 and a local oscillator lead 17 are printed as shown to provide signal paths for the signal ωS and the local oscillator signal ωLO. It will be noted that each one of the signal and local oscillator leads 15, 17 is segmented in a known manner to form a bandpass filter so that only signals at ωS and ωLO may pass (meaning that signals at ωIF, 2ωLO, ω.sub.Σ and ωJ may not pass) over such leads. The signal lead 15 and the local oscillator lead 17 are terminated at points on a hybrid ring 21. The circumference of the hybrid ring 21 here is equal to (3/2)λg where λg is the wavelength of the signal ωS. The spacing between the points of termination on the hybrid ring 21 of the signal lead 15 and the local oscillator lead 17 is λg/2. A first branch lead 23 is terminated at a point on the hybrid ring 21 midway between the signal lead 15 and the local oscillator lead 17 and a second branch lead 25 is terminated at a point on the hybrid ring 21 diametrically opposite the point of termination of the local oscillator lead 17. An intermediate frequency lead 19 here is terminated at any convenient point on the hybrid ring 21. A radio frequency choke (not numbered) is formed on the intermediate frequency lead 19. The characteristic impedance of the hybrid ring 21 here is 70.7 ohms and the characteristic impedance of each one of the signal lead 15, the local oscillator lead 17, the first branch lead 23 and the second branch lead 25 is 50 ohms. It follows, therefore, that the signal ωS is divided equally between the first branch lead 23 and the second branch lead 25 and that the signal ω.sub. LO is similarly divided. It is noted here in passing that the connection of the intermediate frequency lead 19 to the hybrid ring 21 may, under some circumstances, cause imbalances that result in some degradation in the division of the radio frequency signals (ωS and ωLO). However, in the interest of simplicity and ease of fabrication, the direct connection of the intermediate frequency lead 19 to the hybrid ring 21 is here illustrated as the preferred method of coupling the desired intermediate frequency signals out of the mixer.
A diode 13a is connected as shown between the free end of the first branch lead 23 and a pad 27 and a diode 13b is connected as shown between the free end of the second branch lead 25 and a pad 29. It should be noted that the cathode of diode 13a is grounded and that the anode of diode 13b is grounded. Diode 13a is sometimes referred to as a noninverting diode and diode 13b is sometimes referred to as an inverting diode. The pads 27, 29 are connected in any convenient manner directly to the ground plane (not shown) on the hidden side of the substrate 11. The diodes 13a, 13b here are "beam lead" devices so the requisite connections may be effected by a conventional thermal compression technique. The connection between each one of the pads 27, 29 and the ground plane (not shown) here is effected by a bridge (not shown) of electrically conductive material on the narrow sides (not shown) of the substrate 11, each such bridge being formed when the circuitry being described is formed.
The diodes 13a, 13b preferably are a matched pair of gallium-arsenide (GaAs) Schottky barrier devices having, say, a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.6 to 1 at 10 GHz and 5 milliwatts. Because the parasitic shunt capacitance of GaAs diodes is very low, the signals of interest here around the second harmonic 2ωLO, i.e., the sum signal ωΣ and the image ωJ of the sum signal ω.sub.Σ may be utilized.
To accomplish utilization of the sum signal ω.sub.Σ, a so-called "wide-band sum enhancement filter" (not numbered) is provided on each one of the first and the second branch leads 23, 25. Thus, stubs 31a, 31b (each electrically equal in length to (λ.sub.Σ)/4, where (λ.sub.Σ) is the wavelength of the sum signal) are formed at (λ.sub.Σ)/2 intervals along the first branch lead 23, with stub 31a being spaced at a distance equal to (λ.sub.Σ)/4 from the diode 13a. In like fashion, stubs 33a, 33b (which are identical to stubs 31a, 31b) except that stub 33a is spaced at a distance of (λ.sub.Σ)/2 from the diode 13b) are formed. It should be noted that in determining the actual length of each one of the stubs 31a, 31b, 33a, 33b, the effect of the fringe field around each stub must be considered. As is known, the fringe field around each stub causes an increase in electrical length so the actual length of each stub is appropriately adjusted so that each stub appears to the sum signal ω.sub.Σ to be one-fourth wavelength long. It will be appreciated that the nonlinear action of the diodes 13a, 13b causes the second harmonic signal 2LO to be generated along with the sum signal ω.sub.Σ and the sum image signal ωJ. A portion of each one of the latter two signals, after traversing along the branch line 23 (or 25) and the stubs 31a, 31b (or 33a, 33b)is reflected back to the diode 13a (or 13b) to be mixed with the second harmonic signal 2ωLO. As a result of such mixing of the second harmonic signal 2LO with the reflected portion of the sum signal ω.sub.Σ the resultant signal (ω.sub.Σ -2LO) is generated; similarly, the mixing of the reflected portion of the sum image signal ωJ produces the resultant signal (ωJ -2ωLO). As noted previously, the resultant signal (ω.sub.Σ -2ωLO) is in phase with the intermediate frequency signal (ωS -ωLO) and the resultant signal (ωJ -2ωLO is in antiphase to the intermediate frequency signal (ωS -ωLO). The signal ωS and the local oscillator signal ωLO are not affected by the wideband sum enhancement filter (not numbered), but the second harmonic signal 2ωLO, the sum signal ω.sub.Σ and the sum image signal ωJ are reactively terminated. The amplitude of the resultant signal (ω.sub.Σ -2ωLO) is greater than the amplitude of the resultant signal (ωJ -2ωLO). It follows, then, that the intermediate frequency signal out of the described mixer, i.e., (ωS -ωLO)+(ω.sub.Σ -2ωLO)+(ωJ -2ωLO), is greater than a mixer that utilizes only the signals ωS and ωLO. It also follows that if provision were made to invert the phase of the resultant signal (ωJ -2ωLO), the output of the described mixer could be increased more. However, simplicity would be sacrificed and the signal bandwidth would be decreased.
It should be noted that the signal bandwidth of the described mixer is limited by the bandwidth of each one of the components, i.e., the bandpass filters 15, 17, the hybrid ring 21 and the enhancement filters (not numbered). Here, however, at X-band the bandwidth of each one of the components may easily be made to be about 20% of the sum signal 2ω.sub.Σ.
The contemplated wideband sum enhancement technique is intended for use in mixers when a low I.F. frequency relative to the signal frequency is desired (i.e., ωIF =0.05 ωLO). In such applications, a 1 dB improvement in mixer conversion loss has been demonstrated utilizing the contemplated wideband sum enhancement technique. While this improvement in conversion loss is not as great as that that can be obtained utilizing the more complex image enhancement techniques, it does represent a significant improvement that can be realized with a minimum of complexity.
Having described an embodiment of the invention, it will now be apparent to one of skill in the art that changes could be made without departing from the inventive concepts. For example, a second set of enhancement filters could be disposed along the branch lines to correct the phase of the sum image signal ωJ. It is felt, therefore, that this invention should not be restricted to its disclosed embodiment, but rather should be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Alion Science & Technology Corporation protests the issuance of a task order to Anteon Corporation by the General Services Administration (GSA) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. PPM5740005T6 for the United States Army stability and support operations training program at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Alion argues that the contracting officers evaluation of vendors quotations was inconsistent with the terms of the RFQ, and that Alions quotation represented the best value. Alternatively, Alion argues that the RFQ did not accurately state the Army's staffing needs.
We sustain the protest.

Internet Explorer 10
The successor to Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 Web browser, Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) is integrated into the Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems, which made their official debuts on October 26th, 2012. Among other enhancements and performance improvements, Internet Explorer 10 significantly improves the browser's support for CSS3 and HTML5.
Internet Explorer 10 is currently available only as part of the Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 operating system releases. IE10 was originally expected to additionally run on the Windows 7 OS, but that issue has been in question recently as Microsoft focuses on the new operating system releases.

Econo Lodge City Star Brisbane
650 Main Street
Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, QL 4169

»Riverlife Adventure Centre
If you ever wanted to experience fun and excitement of the great outdoors in Brisbane, Riverlife Adventures will definitely be your calling. This place allows you to experience kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling, and biking. You can choose amongst these adventures, whether you are a pro or just starting out for the first time. Daytime guided kayaking adventures are available, along with the ability to rent a kayak of your own. You can also rent out bicycles and roller blades, so you can explore the City Botanic Gardens, and ride along the river to connect to the RiverWalk. Be sure to call ahead for reservations, and take note that kayaking and rock climbing will not be available to those seven years or younger.
»St. Mary's Anglican Church
Being a very active Ministry Group, this lovely ancient church with bell tower offers many allied activities and events. The Harvest School of Ministry gives training courses and seminars on Christian leadership, education, Christian Nurture and group leadership to name a few. And of course fellowship groups for all ages (they have a vibrant youth group). Check website for further details.
»Old Government House
Old Government House is located in the Gardens Point region of Queensland University of Technology. The mansion is the first Government House of Queensland and is architecturally important. Dating back to the 19th Century, this beautiful mansion was suitably renovated in the later years by the Queensland University. Sitting on a bed of lush greenery, the building is used for events and workshops by the University. It is interesting to note that the mansion was constructed with locally quarried and sourced raw materials.
»City Botanic Gardens
Within these gardens is a colorful collection of exotic and native plants to delight the eye, and an atmosphere to calm the soul. The site was chosen for a public garden in 1828, with fertile soil producing healthy crops for the penal settlement. In 1855 botanist Walter Hill declared botanical gardens would occupy the area. Some of Hill's plantings from the 1850s remain on Residence Hill and the weeping figs on Walter Hill Walk were planted by the botanist in the 1870s. Hungry visitors may enjoy a meal from the Gardens Café, housed in the caretaker's hut built in 1903.
»South Brisbane Memorial Park
Of the many park areas that edge the Brisbane River, the South Brisbane Memorial Park has to be one of the most secluded and majestically beautiful. This peaceful and shady haven is created by magnificent, ancient Bunyan Fig Trees that watch over the war memorials. Although a little off the beaten track, the park is bypassed by many cyclists and pedestrians on their way to South Bank. Unique views of the Brisbane River can be seen from the park, and it is conveniently located near the Ship Inn Hotel and Queensland Maritime Museum.
»Legislative Council Chamber
The Legislative Council Chamber of the Parliament or the Red Chamber is a venue designated for official meetings and conferences. Visitors can also avail the general tour, where they are taken through this classic chamber and other on-site rooms.
»George Street Mansions
Worth a walk past, the George Street Mansions was built in 1890 as six townhouses and has been occupied by tenants since 1985, including a restaurant and a gift shop. It is a long terrace with an interesting façade, loggias and stone cats at each end of the second floor parapet. The first woman doctor in Queensland, Dr. Lilian Cooper, lived here from 1893. Later it was a school and then a boarding house. Look up and say hello!
»Brisbane Synagogue
The Brisbane Hebrew Congregation was founded in 1865 and this conveniently situated synagogue was consecrated in 1886, costing five thousand pounds. An unusual Byzantine style, it features twin turrets, cupolas and an arched entry porch--a memorial to war dead. The theme is repeated in the lofty interior, in the magnificent arch structure, and in the blending of arches and columns. Stained glass windows in Jewish motifs were installed at the centenary, in 1965.
»Naldham House - Brisbane Polo Club
Include a look at this 1889 Classic Revival building in your Brisbane River boardwalk stroll and find nestled among the palms a gracious, white three-story building. First used for the Australian United Steam Navigation Company, it adjoined the wharves on the river. It has a magnificent cupola on the north-east end of the building. It is now a private club, but you can wander inside and marvel at the original timber staircase and fittings, admire the bar on your left and chat to the doorman.
»Streets Beach
A pristine beach with crystal clear (chlorinated) water, white sands and swaying palms right in the middle of a city. South Bank's most famous artificial beach and lagoon, the Streets Beach is a man-made marvel. Open mostly in summer, the beach is an oasis for harried city folk, offering respite from the daily grind. No wonder, the beach is packed on weekends and national holidays. The view of downtown Brisbane from the beach is fascinating, to say the least!
»Story Bridge Adventure Climb
Standing on the Story Bridge with Brisbane under your feet, gives one a heady feeling. The view will send even the strongest of hearts aflutter. After 65 long years, the bridge was finally thrown open to the public, and Story Bridge Adventure Climbers now offer a top-level experience to locals and visitors. Safe and affordable, their climb covers the southern half of the bridge, and takes about two and a half hours from start to finish. As you progress upwards you can't help but marvel at the structure which took 12000 tonnes of steel and four lives during construction. Check website for rates.
»Commissariat Store
The Commissariat Store is one of the two oldest buildings in Brisbane, the other one being the Old Windmill. Steeped in history, the building was built by convicts in the 1820s. As new facets of the building come to light (like the recently excavated brick-made drains in the basement), the building becomes more and more intriguing for the common man. Used as an immigrant house in the past, the Store now functions as the headquarters of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland. A museum and the well-stocked library are also located in the building. The Commissariat Store is being used to host cultural events like book launches and music concerts too.

Some goals in five-year plan apply to all federal agencies
Office of Personnel Management Strategic and Operational Plan 2006-2010
Few agencies go to the lengths that the Office of Personnel Management did in updating its 2006-2010 strategic plan. OPM concluded that four-month process with a Webcast briefing March 8 for several thousand OPM employees nationwide.
OPM Director Linda Springer said the new five-year plan is unusual enough to warrant the Webcast and more than a dozen other briefings in the past few weeks. "I can't stress enough how much of a departure this is from other plans," Springer said during one of 15 briefings.
The 40-page document outlines dozens of strategic and operational objectives. Some of them apply to all federal agencies. For example, it sets an Oct. 1, 2007, deadline for all agencies to complete written succession plans describing how they plan to replace current leaders if they leave government service in the next five years.
"There are somewhere around 170 to-do items in this plan," Springer said. "Every item in here has a date. Each of those to-do's starts with a verb."
Despite the plan's heavy emphasis on achieving results, which has been a theme of Bush administration officials, Springer said the OPM document was written to conform to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993.
"It's not a political plan," she said.
OPM is confident it can pay for all the objectives in the plan, Springer said. "We developed this as we developed our [fiscal 2007] budget request."
Springer said she is aware that the information technology industry is concerned that OPM could be overwhelmed by thousands of new requests for background checks on federal contractors to meet the new requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12. But those concerns might be unwarranted, she said.
"We believe that we've got the right funding for OPM's part of it," she added.
The federal government faces increased competition for talent and an older workforce that will soon be leaving — two large challenges that inspired OPM to rewrite
its mission statement, Springer said. The new statement, displayed on a banner across the entrance to OPM's headquarters building, is 13 words long: "Our mission is to ensure that the federal government has an effective workforce."
"That's it in a nutshell," Springer said.
Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said she has not seen any strategic plans like OPM's. "It will be interesting to see how they deliver," she said. The union remains opposed to one of the plan's major objectives, she added, which is legislation to change how federal employees governmentwide are managed and paid.

We enjoy watching the shaggers. Some of them really have it down. The music is good here, too, if you love Beach Music.
In addition to attending the various show places in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach some people just like to dance. NMB has many places to dance but seven places that really concentrate on the shag - the SC State dance. Although I have danced in all of them my favorite is Fat Harold's on Main Street.. For those unfamiliar...
My husband and I are ballroom/Latin dancers and have been in search of a nice dance floor in myrtle beach for a long time. Fat Harold's did not disappoint. The floor is spacious and the DJ's music was perfect for us to swing, hustle, cha cha, and even a foxtrot! Plus the drinks were super cheap. It wasn't crowded at...
Fat Harold's Beach Club has a wonderful dance floor and has free instructions for the southern dance called Shag. Some call the Shagging smooth rock and roll. O.D. has the famous Shagging on the Sand weekends. Large crowds gather and dance or hang out for 3-4 days and nights. Some dancers that shagged as teenagers 50 years ago return and...
Great place to listen to some beach music and shag! Sometimes hard to find a place to sit down if you're looking for a table but we were here to dance anyway so it didn't matter.
This place is so much fun if you like beach music and especially if you like to shag. Drinks a little high but oh so comfortable.
After growing up watching Shag the movie in the 90s I was dying to get to myrtle beach for the last 20 years! I finally got there and was sad to know that many of the movie shooting locations had either burnt down or were destroyed in a hurricane. I was worried that I wouldn't get that old time shag...
My wife and I come to dance here every year because it has free parking for Fat Harold Customers only, not crowded, free entrance, not rowdy because the patrons are mostly middle age and some boys and girls before 10:00 PM. The only thing we do not like is that these young people should not be around in this place...
My wife and I are swing dancers and this place is the birthplace of "the shag", kind of a stepped up variety of swing. I think we were there too early in the evening because there was hardly anybody there. But, I have to say this is a classic dance hall. There's lots of memorabilia and the dancers who were...
We went on Tuesday night. At 7pm they have lessons on the "shag", a dance native to the Carolinas. Enjoyed learning some basic steps and had a few laughs. Bar drinks available for purchase. Was fun watching the experienced dancers throughout the evening.

Hi all having read the thread on hip bump and trying to put this move into play,i have a question- working on this the other day i was told the best way to "feel" the bump was to do a figure 8 swing, go out wide come down on the inside doing it s l o w l y i noticed that once you reach the top there is a kind of "fall back" towards target as the hands drop andn the hips bump is this correct? its hard to explain but if you try the figure 8 swing, concentrate on your back and sence the "fall back" before everything bumps and drops BTW this question is about hip bump/slide, having read other posts about this i do not wish to get into a whole dicussion with the non beleivers of the hip bump-so please refrain from commenting

The left shoulder needs to be braced against the right hip at the top for the hip bump or lateral move to be effective. It depends on quite a few things including great posture, leg and pivot action and the left shoulder blade lying flat against the rib cage. In other words the left shoulder has to be fixed to the right hip to create a solid platform for the arms to work off. The hip bump used this way increases the torque of the body coil while shifting the Centre Of Mass across to the left before the shoulders unwind. The hip bump used any other way loses power. That figure of 8 stuff is nonsense.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:29 PM
this is waht i was talking about(in bold) (from the "Vid on use of hips on downswing thread" on ISG) In TGM it's known as hula-hula, an independent but coordinate with the shoulders lateral hip bump parallel to the delivery line. "All motion starts with a parallel weight shift, parallel to the delivery line, independent but coordinate with the shoulder motion." Lynn Blake calls it "taking up the slack". Gravity Golf people call it a "counter-fall". That video is dramatic or exaggerated. It may be almost imperceptible, an inch or so, or 6 inches. The goal is to clear the right hip of the right elbow and avoid throwing the clubhead out over the line about halfway down, and get room for the right shoulder to come down the plane angle in order to get enough right arm to get through impact without exhausting the elbow bend. Moe Norman had an exaggerated parallel left slide, modeled after Knudson. He said that he and Ben Hogan had studied Knudson. He also said it started before reaching the Top of the backstroke. Optional. Another option is a reverse hip turn. The right hip wipes the tush line targetward, then holds there while the left hip returns to join the right on the tush line in the downstroke. Hogan's "elastic band" snapping the left hip back to the wall. Still, he bumped parallel left first.

Winn, You have plenty of good ideas for experimentation. Keep in mind what you want you hands and clubhead to do and start work. Stop when you have the result you want.

Guys thnaks for the replies, luckily i live round the corner from the lovely Marrickville GC in sydney so will be down there after work to well work on this If you happen to walk by and see what you consider a crazy guy holding his shoulder back while he "attempts" to bump/slide the hips PLEASE DO NOT call the crazy police its GOLF im trying to play!!!
Posted 10 November 2012 - 04:27 AM
As long as its a hip bump and you aren't hip thrusting all over the place. Why are you trying this move anyways?

Novice Q: Right-Handed Dman?
I've followed hockey for 10 years and I've never took the time to learn why this is important lol. Growing up in the south with no opportunity to play organized hockey also doesn't help.
Why is having a right-handed defenseman so important?
Aren't most people right-handed? Why are they rare?
I'm right-handed and can hardly skate.. but I'm a self-proclaimed NHL ready defenseman. Prospect?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure exactly what you're asking...
Most people are right hand dominant, but being "right handed" in hockey means having your right hand on the bottom of the stick. Nowadays, it's becoming less and less common since many people want to have their dominant hand on top of the stick for better puck control.
It's not critical but it is pretty nice to have a right-hand shot on the point on the power play, because you can get him on the left point and a lefty at the right point and have a better angle to shoot from.
I'm a RH center but began as a defenseman many years ago. I was always on the left side with my stick towards the middle of the ice. It's nice have your shot closer to the middle.
I've studied brain lateralization so i'll give you a little bit of math
Roughly one third of people would naturally hold a hockey stick with their dominant hand on the bottom, the other two thirds hold their dominant hand on top. Roughly 1 in every 11 people are left handed.
So the natural odds would be as follows (1% margiin of error):
3% of people would throw left and shoot left
6% of people would throw left and shoot right
30% of people would throw right and shoot right
60% of people would throw right and shoot left
so 63% of people would naturally shoot right-handed in hockey.
But consider the following; when a hockey player holds a stick in one hand, it would be their top hand; so this puts someone who shoots on their dominant side as a disadvantage because they are holding the stick in their non-dominant hand. Since defenseman are skating backwards more often, they are required to hold the stick in one hand more often hence why the percentage of right shooting defensemen are lower than left shooting forwards.
It is also harder to play defense than forward on one's 'off-side' For instance a left shooting defenseman has an easier time playing the left side; it's easier to clear the puck up that side and they can make and accept most of their passes naturally on the forehand. Put them on the right side and the forehand passes are more awkard forcing them to make more backhands. It's also harder for them to keep the puck in along the boards in the attacking zone.
Some great replies, I got it now. Thanks to all three of ya!
This should help in NHL 13 lol
Yes that's typically the preference. But at all levels of hockey, talent trumps dexterity. Typically if you've got a ringer on D, he'll be a ringer regardless of which side he plays.
On defense I want them to force a puck carrier to the boards. Having your stick in the hand closest to the boards allows them to "cheat" a little extra toward the middle of the ice forcing the puck carrier towards the boards because he has a longer reach with his stick to sweep or poke check. Or ride a guy into the boards because their shoulders will be open to the boards already.
If your stick is on the center ice side and you drive a guy around to the boards you have little reach for a puck carrier going towards the boards and if you do reach chances are you will be late and he will go by you.
I'm assuming you are talking about a non-checking league Being able to check changes a few of your options and being on either side isn't as big a disadvantage.
Normally if a left shot is paired with a right shot, the left shot will play the left side at even strength. Powerplay gets tricky, sometimes the teams will have them switch right off the bat, other times they'll have them swap during the play because of the tougher time keeping the puck in.
Just for fun, here's a list of norris winners. The trophy began in 1954 but only Chelios, Blake, Macinnis and Karlsson were right shots with Chelios being the only multiple right shooting award winner.

My wife and I stayed one night at the Wyndham along with another couple after spending a week on Cat Island. Unfortunately we should have picked another hotel to use as our home base for a "back to normality" day to round out our trip. First the good news -- thanks to AAA we were able to book two rooms for a reasonable $75 each per night. The location, right on Cable Beach, was a huge plus and we ate lunch in the hotel which turned out to be quite good and reasonably priced (for hotel food.)
However, the negatives far outweighed the positives. For starters, there is massive construction going on next door -- the vaunted Bahamar resort which will allegedly dwarf Atlantis on nearby Paradise Island -- and while annoying, the construction itself isn't really the problem. The problem is that the construction has forced closed the quiet beach immediately behind the Wyndham and left open the much rougher one down the block by the Sheraton. It also may have had something to do with the second problem: we had no water for the entire first day we were there. The pools was extremely cold and the hot tub was only slightly less so, presumably because of the same lack of water. Upon inquiry, the front desk responded with a shrug and the answer, "unfortunately we don't know when it will be back on."
It turned out that the answer to that question was: the following morning. Good news right? Well, yes and no. Evidently the water system is somehow inversely connected to the hotel's computer networks because our newfound water pressure brought with it a drought of internet access. The wifi network (which is only available in the lobby, not in the room) was down on day two. Similar response from the front desk when asked. Well, no problem -- surely the pool and hot tub would be working then, right? Nope, still freezing.
So at this point, we're looking at no pool, no hot tub, no beach, no water, and no internet access. Ahh, but why complain when there's a casino! And there is -- but interestingly enough they close all table games on Mondays and Tuesdays. Guess which day we arrived?
Here comes the insult-to-injury part. Every time you go in the elevator to go to your room you have to pass by the "information desk." Not the front desk, that's at the front. The information desk. What information you ask? Well, they give you information on how to change your vacation plans for the rest of your life. Yes, yes, it's a timeshare booth. And they ask you about it...every...f'ing...time you get on the elevator. After being hassled about seven times and after experiencing everything that had gone wrong so far, I finally went up to them and told them, "the water doesn't work, the internet access doesn't work, the pools are cold, there are dumptrucks on the beach, and the casino is half closed. Why in the name of Triton's shiny left nut would I want to invest in this place?"
Well, it turns out they're shilling for Bahamar which, if God is good, will bring about swift demolition of the Wyndham. Because when you check out you get hit with another surprise: a $38 resort fee. What is that resort fee for? Well, I didn't know so I went to the expert on all things Wyndham, the front desk, and they told me it's for beach, pool, and other maintenance for the property. You know, all those things that didn't work while we were there. This question earned me a $25 discount for "customer satisfaction issues" or something. The odd thing is that our friends staying in the other room got a $50 discount. On top of that, despite requesting a late checkout (1:00PM) they cancelled our room keys at 11:00AM which meant that we had to go back down the elevator and across the casino to the front desk to get them reactivated.
Long story short, this was my first and (hopefully) last time at a Wyndham. With any luck, the whole place will be torpedoed to make way for the Bahamar in the not too distant future anyway.
