Men's golf finishes in first place
March 31, 2009
Charlotte, NC --The Pfeiffer University mens golf team edged out Mount Olive College for the 2009 J. Ralph Hargett Memorial Intercollegiate mens golf tournament title at Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation Tuesday. The Falcons shot a 294 Monday and a 306 Tuesday, completing the ninth annual event at 600.
Pfeiffer senior Andrew Shiflet (Asheboro, NC) earned medalist honors on the par 72, 6936-yard layout. Shiflet posted a 75 Tuesday to go with his four-under-par 68 from Monday. Shiflets 143 score was four strokes better than the field.
Mount Olive senior Pete Skirpstas (Medina, OH) finished second, making a big move with a two-under-par 70 Tuesday. Skirpstas had the best round of the day Tuesday. He completed the two-day event with a 147.
Anderson senior Adam Sheriff (Anderson, SC) posted a one-under-par 71 Tuesday, placing third with a 148. Sheriff and Skirpstas had the only under-par rounds Tuesday. Pfeiffer sophomore Laurence Noott (Worcestershire, England) was one shot back at 149. Nootts consistency was vital, as he shot 75-74 at the Hargett Memorial.
Mars Hill College senior Nate Lockey (Brantford, Ontario, Canada) earned the final spot on the All-Tournament team by winning a scorecard play-off for fifth place. Lockey was one of four players to post a 151 for the two-day event. Lockey had an even-par 72 Tuesday.
Wingate freshman Braden Jackson (Dallas, NC) also shot a 151, but he lost the scorecard play-off for the last spot on the All-Tournament team. Jackson had a 76 Monday and a 75 Tuesday. Mount Olive sophomore Riley Boyette (Princeton, NC) and Queens University of Charlotte sophomore David Bainbridge also shot 151 at the 2009 Hargett Memorial.
On the team charts, Catawba College finished fifth at 617. The remainder of the field included Queens (618), Lincoln Memorial University (622), Wingate B (629) and Mars Hill (641) in the six through nine positions on the team leader board.

No ****. Can we stop with all the "Gordon is faking it" crap?
The dude is injury prone, so get over it guys. Buckle up for the next 3-4 years because there will be many highs and lows, but when it's all said and done, Gordon is en elite player in this league, and he has the talent to lead us to a championship.

I'm a student, and I know that we have a reputation for being a little bit detached from the reality. But as far as I'm aware the rules of spatial mechanics have remained unchanged (or is that why I can't remember staggering home at three in the morning anymore?).
But apparentely not, as Park51 – a recentely planned building development in New York City, which is being referred by many as the 'Ground Zero Mosque' – has attracted more criticism from shouty, opinionated people than the average audience of the Jeremy Kyle Show. This is where the laws of physics appear to have been rewritten, as Park51 is actually two blocks away from the former location of the World Trade Centre, a full 0.2 miles according to Google Maps. The people criticising the mosque have been acting as though it's a decadent, 300-foot monumental eyesore filling the exact space where the WTC was, with the bodies of dead US soldiers hanging from the rafters, complete with with the words 'We Win, America!' in big neon letters atop a statue of Osama Bin Laden fisting Uncle Sam. In reality, the artist rendition looks just like any old skyscraper you can name in New York City.
Yep, looks like a monument of the Islamization of The West to me.
What's more, it's not even a mosque. It's a community centre, albeit a specifically Islamic one with a mosque inside. What's the difference there between an Islamic and a Christian community centre? That might sound obvious, but only if you greatly generalise on Islam and fail to distinguish between extremists and moderates. Even if it were a dedicated mosque, the same distinction still applies.
I've also been told that the controversy has emerged because the collapse of the Twin Towers had rubble landing on the place where the not-mosque is planned. So, what? That fact is utterly meaningless unless the US want to change their foreign policy to a canine philosophy in which they indicate their borders by where they've pissed.
Think I'm exaggerating? Just look at the organisation "Stop Islamization of America" (SIOA), who view the not-ground zero not-mosque to be an indication of the Islamic invasion of the USA and an insult to all the soldiers who died. The SIOA claim to be "a human rights organization dedicated to freedom of speech, religious liberty, and individual rights" – judging by their actions and their name – unless you're a Muslim.
I can see why it might be considered, at most, poor taste. But the vitrolic opposition to the not-mosque has gone far beyond arguing for respecting dead soldiers and have, rather paradoxically, sunk into a all-out display of religious intolerance.
There's been some comparison with the 'Draw Muhammed Day' on Facebook, which is an interesting comparison but not in the way that the SIOA think. 'Draw Muhammed Day' was in response to threats by Islamic extremists towards the creators of 'South Park' who were poised to depict the prophet of the Muslim faith, which is against Islam. Those who participated in 'Draw Muhammed Day' did not do so for any Islamaphobic reason, it was a demonstration that free speech is non-negotiable: no-one is immune to criticism and you cannot bully people into silence through the threat of violence.
The SIOA believe that this is somehow testament to anti-Islam sentiment in the US but this is not the case. 'Draw Muhammed Day' was a defence of free speech, which is the complete opposite of what the SIOA is about. They want to prevent the building of the 'Ground Zero Mosque', even though doing so is explicitly against free expression and ignores freedom of religion, which was one of the founding principles of America.
I'm not taking the piss out of the attacks of September 11th because I'm not a completely heartless bastard. Nor am I taking the piss out of Islam — because I like my head — but this arguement is totally fucking ridiculous. It is not a mosque. It is not on 'Ground Zero'. Blocking it's building is against the freedom of expression and religion that the US is itself founded on and those very soldiers died defending. I can only conclude, therefore, that those opposing the not-mosque are doing so purely out of religious prejudice. Maybe that's unfair, as simply the bandied-about name 'Ground Zero Mosque' immediately creates two misconceptions on this issue, but anyone willing to look into it for half a second can find the facts of the matter. So it's really down to a combination of prejudice and ignorance — a lethal combination in any context.
UPDATE: Someone has just pointed out to me that this post is remarkably similar to an article by Charlie Brooker on the same issue. Brooker's column is far funnier, uses similar techniques of hyperbole and ridiculing the pointlessness of the debate, and it was also done about two weeks ago. I actually hadn't seen it before I wrote this post but it looks as though I've copied his points, just putting that out there.

Man that was pretty atrocious, it's bad enough they've been blaring this garbage on the radio for awhile now but then they use such a god awful song to advertise their game which was already shitty on it's own? Christ. Microsoft what are you thinking?
wait, is that an official video? It looks like something a 10-year-old might make in Windows Movie Maker. Lmao. How embarrassing

I love the song , the video ... i give it a 7 out of 10 :P .

I agree with Seya. 7 out of 10. Not bad or atrocious, but using Linkin' Park in your video game video is silly and cliche these days and the video could have been brightened at least.

600d versus 5Dii/iii/6D
Hi guys,
In terms of photography I understand all the main concepts and at the moment I am just struggling to put them all into practice in the way that I want the photos to turn out.
My question refers to camera bodies.
I have a 600d and use it as my main workhorse, I have some film cameras and shoot a lot with them but if it's a paid job then I stick to digital.
My friend has a 5Dii and I feel like his photo's are much sharper and have much better highlight retention and less flaring.
What benefits would I get with a full frame sensor in terms of IQ? I work in lightroom and was wondering if the RAW files from a 5d allow you more control to manipulate the highlights and the shadows.
In terms of sharpness, this is a 100% crop from a shot I took a few days ago.
It's on a reasonably sharp lens (17-55mm f2.8) @ f8, 1/180th ISO100 yet to me it still feels quite soft. Focus isn't the issue as this is the "sharpest" part of the photo. This is with a fair amount of sharpening in lightroom as well. If you look to the background it also seems quite grainy/noisy although it is not coloured noise.
Am I simply going mad after editing all afternoon and this photo is perfectly sharp?
Would I see much performance gain from a full frame camera? I'm not taking in terms of auto focus, DOF, burst rate etc. but in terms of actual image IQ and data in the image to then manipulate it.
I'm not even sure if what I just wrote makes sense, I think I have just gone a bit crazy.
|Jan 4, 2013, 11:24 AM
If you're asking if a full frame body like a 5D II or III is going to have better IQ than a 600D, then yes, the full frame will.
It's simply a matter of a larger sensor with higher quality pixels.
As far as your sample photo having grain and noise, I don't think you used an optimal setting for your deliverable (I see a png). Perhaps a decently size jpeg hosted somewhere that isn't going to resample/downsample your jpeg again would be a better way to show an example photo.
|Jan 4, 2013, 12:00 PM
Didn't think when uploading, it was just a screenshot and here is a JPEG. From a quick glance they look very similar though.
|Jan 4, 2013, 12:06 PM
Since you currently have the 600D, yes, you will see a IQ difference between both camera bodies. The difference won't be big, but it will be there. Is the 600D holding you back in anyway that you're thinking of going FF?
There seems to be a higher interest in FF now that the Nikon D600 and Canon 6D are available to consumers who don't want to break the bank for a camera body.
The 600D is a great camera. If you like to blow you prints up to A4 then FF will certainly benefit you. Also, high ISO in FF is handled much better than APS-C sensor bodies.
The main question to ask yourself this: Is your current camera holding you back in any way?
|Jan 4, 2013, 12:29 PM
I think the best way to find the answer to this is to experience the difference for yourself...more extensively. If possible, rent/borrow a ff body with lens and spend a weekend shooting both cameras in various situations then compare the results.
|Jan 4, 2013, 05:23 PM
I upgraded from the 550D to a 5D Mark III.
Is it sharper? Sure. But it's not that big a difference. Per pixel things look similar to me (my sharper lenses are a bit sharper than that photo with better micro-contrast), but full frame is usually more forgiving except in the corners. The 17-55mm IS is very good so you need a really great lens (the original 24-70mm is kind of meh) to beat it and the IS makes up for the ISO advantage FF cameras have.
In terms of latitude, it's a bit better... slightly more highlight detail, less noise at low ISOs by a little. I can overexpose a bit more.
High ISO is way better.
The "look" is nice with a bit more micro contrast and you can get a shallow depth of field easily.
Video is much cleaner at a given ISO.
Autofocus is WAY better. The optical finder is beautiful and clear.
But for low ISO shots in which resolution is all you're going for... the difference is not huge. Try your camera next to your friend's 5DII and see if it's big enough for you (the Mark II and Mark III are about equally sharp). Try them both with the same lens, same framing (back the 600D up a bit) and at the sharpest stop if you can, both at 100ISO if that's your concern.
|Jan 4, 2013, 05:28 PM
All that being said, try borrowing your friends lens. Chances are he has a good lens to help flex his cameras muscles. While you 17-55 is still very nice it won't beat a good prime. I'm still using an old XTi, that was given a new life once I slapped on a new 85mm 1.8. You wouldn't believe the difference that good glass will make. Good luck!

From the same shoot I did use the 50mm f1.4 stopped down and whilst it looks a little sharper I still feel my pixel peeping eye could do with some more sharpness! Ideally I would love a set of primes but I am strapped for cash as it is!
|Jan 4, 2013, 08:43 PM
One of the biggest problems with Canon's APS-C 18MP sensors is the aggressive anti-aliasing that's applied to eliminate moire. As a result you have to apply a lot more sharpening in post to compensate. This was one of the key differences I noticed when going from the 7D to the 5D3... my RAW images now require only very delicate sharpening and as a result I'm not fighting halo's and other artifacts to get a sharp image.
I also find there's a lot more I can do with shadow recovery with the 5D3 RAW files than I could ever do with the 7D files. There's a lot more latitude with lifting shadows due to lack of noise and retention of detail and color in the shadows.
I also believe lenses contribute to apparent sharpness in more ways than one. Besides resolving power, the added contrast you get with L quality lenses (particularly primes) gives images a sharper appearance IMHO.
Overall, the move from a 7D with 17-55 lens to a 5D3 with 24-105L was a dramatic improvement in quality right out of the camera with even more potential in post.
Also, unless you shoot manually under strobes or in bright sunlight all the time, I can't overstate the importance of auto focus accuracy and reliability which is perhaps one of the most important jobs your body has to perform. A higher end body not only has a superior focus system, but it's much more ergonomic to select a focus point rather than constantly using the focus and recompose method you're often forced into with an unergonomic body with inferior non-center points.
Last but not least, be careful how you export and what hosting service you use. I found a noticable difference in JPEG image quality between Flickr, Smugmug, Zenfolio, and Facebook for example. You don't want to go to all this trouble to get amazing sharp images only to have them pixelated by your hosting service.

The reason why ~85mm is used for portraits is not because the lenses are sharper in that range. It's because of perspective. Longer focal length means you have to stand off farther from the subject which leads to a more flattering perspective (less compression and distortion). When you shoot head or 1/2 body portraits with a short focal length lens and fill the frame, you're going to affect the look of the nose (larger) and ears (smaller).
Of course, there's nothing saying you can shoot a shorter (wider) focal length full body portrait. But you just have to be aware of your corners and barrel distortion (unless you're artistically incorporating that effect).
|Jan 4, 2013, 10:44 PM
You need to work on your post processing of the images. Your friend probably has a lot more experience, don't confuse experience with equipment.
You should shoot RAW and process and output final to Jpeg, not start and end with Jpeg.

If I were you, I'd invest in glass, more specifically a prime lens such as Tamron's 60 mm f/2 macro lens. Its focal length, ~90 mm equivalent on full frame, is perfect for portraits and it's doesn't cost an arm and a leg. An 85 mm lens would also be an option, but I find 85 mm quite long already for a lot of portraits, although it'd still be on the long end of classical portrait focal lengths. Don't worry about full frame vs. crop so much, lenses retain their value really well (much, much better than a used car), so you will always be able to sell your APS-C lenses without losing much money.
Regarding depth of field: your portrait is shot at f/8, so I don't think that's much of an issue for you. But certainly, if you use lenses of equivalent focal lengths, full frame bodies have an advantage.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
|Jan 6, 2013, 07:29 AM
I don't know where you have got the idea that I take the image with JPEG compression already applied as I now always shoot raw.
When you say technical issues exposing the issue, what do you exactly mean?
It's nice to know that someone who has come from a very similar setup saw some good changes. I think the aspect that I am most worried about is that it is a lot of money to upgrade and I really wanted to know exactly what to expect.
I completely agree with the auto focus which is honestly pants on the 600d. Past 6pm I sort of have to shoot with my 430exii attached to use the AF assist beam just to get the shots in focus. Fortunately in the studio with modelling lights this isn't such an issue.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.

I assume the microlens array on the 5D Mark III should give sharper images than any of the other cameras which you have listed.
If the given image was a 100% crop then it's not really representative of how sharp the camera can be; I think you're expecting a little too much from the 600D. Try a full headshot; that's going to be miles sharper than your sample.

I find the 85mm focal length great on APS-C (not so much on FF) and the 85mm f1.8 Canon is pretty affordable, too.

The larger sensor really DOES have some advantages. However you can continue this line of reasoning and then want to move to the Hasselblad system. At some point you run out of money. For most people that means they use a cell phone camera with its tiny sensor.
Look at two camera, each has (say) 12MP but one has a smaller sensor. several things favor the largers sensor
(1) The pixels are larger more photons hit each pixels and they hold more electrons. They are larger "light buckets". This gives them an advantage in signal to noise ration and also a greater dynamic range
(2) The lens used on the larger sensor makes a larger image. Assume the lens is just as sharp as the lens used on the smaller sensor. Even if so it will appear sharper because it is not being sampled at as fine a resolution. In other words the larger sensor is not as demanding of lens quality.
We saw the same thing with film years ago. Medium format and large format cameras make better imps then "small format" (35mm) cameras
|Jan 7, 2013, 09:18 AM
I went from a 50D to a 600D (don't ask, long story! )
The 50D took much better pictures.
Personally I really don't like the autofocus on the 600D. It regularly seems just 'a bit off'. I often get a pin sharp image followed by one that's slightly out. There seems no rhyme or reason to it.
As soon as I can I'm going to go back up the range a bit.
|Jan 7, 2013, 11:21 PM
A bit random but for me the 6D is worth every cent...I do video and photo and I am pissed that the D600 has uncompressed HDMI output BUT who knows maybe Canon will feel pressure to add this feature of magic lantern will unlock it...the D600 is just superior in allot of ways but I have 4 Canon lens, 3 EF primes and my 550D is just not what I want anymore. High ISO performance for me is so important...when I shoot video it has to be clean because I only have HD to work with and compressed HD at that...which means when blown up the grain will look worse....when I shoot a video with serious intent on my 550D I don't go over 800 ASA pretty much, if I NEED to I only go to 1250 and rarely 2500...I can blow up HD video to 2K or even 3K VERY clean if I keep the ISO's down nice. My 6D is in transit, taking a bit to get into my hands but I purchased it because I demand high ISO's, my hands shake from nerve damage, they used to be perfectly steady but infortunetly not so much anymore! If I drop below 1/80th or 1/60th things are blurry if I don't hold the camera like a sniper taking a shot from a mile away or have a tripod...with higher ISO's I can keep the shutter speed at 1/125th-1/200th (my usual range) and shoot without worrying about whether I have my aperture wide open on a lens thats /1.2 already...stopping down does wonders for sharpness.
I shoot allot of indoor stuff, with crappy lighting, I work at my church as essentially a video editor, photographer, sound mixer, director of photography, etc. under the direction of my boss who is a former TV director. I take my work very serious and thus my equipment needs to be able to dish out allot...bad autofocus isn't too much of an issue since I learned to pulled manual focus often faster (its a good skill to have!). BUT sometimes you need autofocus, kids running towards you side to side, I need that AI Servo mode to work and even though the 6D only has 2 more focus points over the 550D Ive heard the 6D focus's VERY well. The sensor doesn't seam much bigger but it really is and Im a big fan of big larger format film...watch The Dark Knight Rises and compare* the 5-perf 65mm, 15-perf 65mm (IMAX), and anamorphic 4-perf 35mm scenes, you will see a difference in quality, subtle but with digital its more pronounced in ways that I don't like. Go shoot some 645/6x6 next to some 35mm and you'll see the difference...larger sensors just have this "grand" feeling to them...for me a full frame DSLR with video is like VistaVision around my neck. I love the shallow DoF and regardless of what settings you use it has a certain feel that a crop body lacks in sometimes a large but sometimes a very small way. Still 36x24 is something I value allot...when I take a portrait of someone I want it to be the most detailed thing possible and a large sensor plate really helps with that.
(*If your watching a movie and wanna know if the 2.40:1 scenes are really anamorphic you can tell by the artifacts, well hidden with panavisions new lenses designed to look like sphericals but you can still see the curve of horizontal lines on wide shots, blue horizontal flares, less sharp on the edges, oval out of focus bokeh, squeeze out of focus elements in some cases, etc. IMAX scenes will be cropped to 1.78:1 and generally have this grand feeling to them, like one of the shots when the Army captain crosses the bridge to negotiate with Bane's henchmen, you see this frame and everything is so detailed and the people look like toys walking across the bridge. Regular 5-perf 65mm scenes are harder, not sure how Chris Nolan had these cropped but if they are indeed cropped to 2.40:1 which is likely then they will be a 2.40:1 frame with no anamorphic artifacts what so ever as Chris Nolan didn't use Super35 or anamorphic 65mm, if they are cropped to 1.78:1 then it might be harder but the shallower DoF is a nice hint)

It has really helped me with my digital shooting as I now make sure that I want to take the picture and have all the settings setup before starting to shoot.
I shoot 6x6 as my other camera and the extra detail and shallower depth of field is really nice. The square format really works for my shots as well. I think that I would definitely appreciate the shallower DOF and low light capabilities of the FF sensor but it's whether I can find the extra for the 5diii and whether I really need it.

I don't really agree with restriction-based loot systems. However, if you do think that priorities are necessary, here's a system I came up with a long time ago (but never actually posted about):
Have your class officers draft the items in the instance.
In a random order, each class picks one item. That class gets first priority on the item. Continue drafting items (use switchback so that the second pick goes in the reverse order). The second class to pick an item gets second priority on that item. Continue until all the non-class restricted items have a first and second priority.
Each class now has an equal number of priorities. The focused classes will probably get first priority on the very best stuff, but hybrids should be able to score some decent second priorities.
As well, it sets up little rivalries between classes who do not normally compete, such as mages and warlocks, which helps them understand what it feels like to be a hybrid.
Plus it's a fun game, and you could turn it into a guild event where everyone provides "advice" to their officer.

Have you ever explored the Suicide Kings loot method? It's sort of a spend-all DKP where as whoever wants to dump all their DKP on an item can have a fair shake at it, regardless whether it's "ideal" for their class or not. It also avoids the DKP inflation problem by putting someone down to zero whenever they get an item.
for the addon, and:
for a flash demo of it.
I wish I could talk my guild into using it...

david, SK is a good system for reducing administrative overhead, while still being reasonably fair.
It's not a good system to pick if you are looking for the fairest system possible. You should not think that SK is fairer than basic DKP. It simply is not.
However, administrative overhead is important to consider. If your officers burn out because of DKP hassles, that's going to be terrible for your guild. My second raid guild broke up in large part because of a situation like this.
SK is a simple, easy-to-use system that is reasonably fair. 80% of the results for 20% of the effort, is how I like to put it.
But you shouldn't choose SK thinking it is something that it's not.
(The big problems with SK are that you can't reward people for learning runs where loot does not drop, and that all loot is valued equally, which causes weird behaviour near the top of the list.)

We get half as many visits on Saturday as we do other days, so we're trying something new – half a sentence. Please finish it for us.
Poverty is . . .
We get half as many visits on Saturday as we do other days, so we're trying something new – half a sentence. Please finish it for us.
Poverty is . . .
…what most Americans think is their current experience. We don't know squat about poverty.
not okay.
…not having seventy bucks to gas up my BMW
a chance to see Christ
a lack of options.
…having no hope.
…believing that there's nothing you can do to escape your situation.
not just a story… for many people it is reality.
… like obscenity, you know it when you see it.
at its base, spiritual; truly having no options, at all, and therefore, no hope.
…an empty soul.
…a weapon of Satan's.
…watching your children go hungry and not being able to do anything about it.
our generation's chance to shine.
an opportunity to make a difference.
I believe that there are 3 different types of poverty.
1 – First, the poverty of having more than enough, always wanting more, never being satisfied, and yet still feeling so empty. This is the poverty I see in most of America. A poverty of searching.
2 – The poverty of struggling each and every day for the right to survive. In this type of poverty people not only have a lack of hope…but they don't even realize that there is such a thing as hope, that there is another way for them to live. These poor are too busy trying to save themselves, their children, and their friends from starvation to look for a way out.
3 – This is the worst poverty of all. The poverty of a life that has not found salvation in the loving arms of God.
Having the disease of "affluence" and no hope.
rotten. Stinkin' rotten.
Poverty is a blessing waiting to happen.
is an opportunity to put our hope in Christ and allow Him to use us to bring about change.
Desperation. Believing that there's a chance you may not be alive next month and that you cannot provide the necessities to sustain life.
a vicious cycle that traps and separates humanity.
Poverty is…a reminder of what we are to be to the world: the arms of Christ and the Hope that He is.
a lack of opportunity
unmet needs without a hold to pull one's self up
lack of choices.
…a chance to respond to God's calling us.
…a need for patience to be healed.
Wow Amanda. I love your comment. We do have the type of poverty here in America…
shaming,heartbreaking,an extremely hard cycle to break,living in a car for a week.
…what hurts the dreamer.
…my fault.
Poverty to me is both financial and physical. Therefore, Poverty is: Not having anyone or anything.
…fuel for the DREAMER!!!
…able to be OVERCOME!!!
…what we make of it!!!
…not easy!!!
…faithful to destroy!!!
…not to be feared!!!
…can be defeated with PRAISE!!!!!!!

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day Newspaper, writes if drama's your game, don't go anywhere in the next three weekends.
After 48 of the most dramatic hours ever experienced at a Rugby World Cup, we finally have a competition that demands that you don't go anywhere for the next three weekends. Goodbye to the minnows and hello to the madness of knockout rugby.
Typically, France gave us an appetiser of the madness of which they are capable. Their players simply did not pitch for a pool match they could afford to lose (and still qualify for the last eight) in protest over their fractious relationship with coach Marc Lievremont. They lost to Tonga. Lievremont said he was ashamed of the performance and admitted the players refused to engage in a bonding session.
New Zealand rugby royalty Dan Carter tore his groin muscle in a kicking drill on Saturday afternoon and the mood among locals was sombre and more applicable to when a nation mourns a popular head of state. If you happen to have been on a space shuttle, Carter, the game's most complete flyhalf and New Zealand's master conductor, is out of the World Cup. It is New Zealand's worst rugby nightmare and there may now not even be an occasion for these men in black to choke.
With Carter at No10 they led the World Cup pack. Without him the All Blacks are just one of the championship-chasing pack. They would get past the Pumas even if Carter's grandmother was at flyhalf, but getting beyond the semifinals will need a flyhalf more capable than his understudy, Colin Slade.
The All Blacks, with Carter gone and Richie McCaw on one leg, are officially in another World Cup crisis. At least they can take comfort that next year they will be unbeatable again and Carter won't get one injury.
Some things are meant to be. The All Blacks have a World Cup curse and England a World Cup Fairy Godmother. New Zealand just can't seem to keep it together or get it together.
England can do as they please, play as they please and pick as many plodders as they please. They've tossed a few dwarfs around in Dunedin, gone on the piss, admitted to switching match balls to give their struggling goal-kicking ace Jonny Wilkinson an advantage, and coach Martin Johnson acknowledged reprimanding three players who lured a hotel worker to their rooms and made suggestive comments about wanting oral sex. The only thing the England players and coaching staff have not admitted to is playing turgid rugby.
The International Rugby Board (IRB) sanction has been a "don't do it again … now get on and win this bloody thing for us old farts in the Northern Hemisphere" before turning its full attention to the hideous crime of a Samoan player wearing a gum guard that contravened official tournament sponsorship rules.
The offence was deemed so serious that the team was fined NZ$10000, and worse was to follow for the Samoans after controversial centre Eliota Fuimaono Sapolu called Welsh referee Nigel Owens a prick, a racist and an elitist who favoured the Springboks in Samoa's 13-5 defeat.
Sapolu tweeted that he would love to meet IRB members on the street and said the game's administration was protecting the big five and the wealthy. He also confirmed his retirement from international rugby, arguing there was no point to it if you were a tier-two nation.
The IRB have confirmed a hearing. Toss around a dwarf and illegally switch match balls during play, but just don't call the IRB an elite organisation.
When Samoa and Fiji played at Eden Park a fortnight ago they smashed each other for 80 minutes, then gathered in prayer as a band of Pacific Island brothers. On Friday night after the most brutal of matches against the Boks there was nothing more than a grudging Samoan handshake.
The Samoan captain spoke of referee bias and Bok captain Victor Matfield expressed disgust at the Samoan off-the- ball thuggery.
Frans Steyn, colossal all tournament, legally smashed into Samoans all night but his shoulder proved more brittle than brutal and he's out of the World Cup.
Scotland, needing to beat England by eight points, led 12-3 in the second half before losing 16-12 to Chris Ashton's 78th- minute match-winning try.
Wilkinson missed his first three penalty attempts and missed a left-footed drop goal from right in front. Madness.
And for 55 minutes Georgia led Argentina 7-5. Not quite madness, but a contender.
The Canadians even led the All Blacks 3-0 for three minutes. Definite madness.
What more, asked everyone? Surely an Italian win against Ireland to seal the most dramatic conclusion to the 40- match round robin stage.
Come on Italy, screamed every South African. Say what they may publicly, the Boks would much have preferred the Irish as quarterfinal opponents.
It was not to be. Instead they have the Tri-Nations champions Australia to beat to make it to Eden Park for the first time in this tournament.
If you are planning on going anywhere on Sunday, pick a church to offer thanks or for a World Cup mourning.
I'd suggest it is safer just not going anywhere. The 2011 Rugby World Cup is officially open.

Green chilli 1, finely chopped
Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp.

Turmeric ppowder 1/2 tsp.
Roasted cumin powder 1/2 tsp.
Curry leaves, a handful
Coriander leaves, a handful, chopped
Lemon juice, 1 tbsp.
Salt as per taste
- Wash and drain the chivda. Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds. When they crackle add the chana dal. Fry for a minute.
- Next add the chopped potatoes and fry till they are soft. Add the turmeric and roasted cumin powder. Mix well. Next goes in the chopped onion and green chilli along with the curry leaves. Mix everything well and fry for about 2-3 minutes.
- Finally add the chivda. Mix well and stir for about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve.

Kenneth (Muoio) Falvo
Utica, NY
On 12/06/12 (December 6, 2012) we lost someone so dear to us, that it is hard to imagine our lives without his presence. So it is said, that with great love comes great pain. Ken passed away at SUNY Upstate Medical University Hospital, in Syracuse, NY, surrounded by his family. The care that he received there was out of the ordinary. His battle was a painful one that he could not win.
Born in Utica, NY on September 17, 1952, Ken was the son of Elvira (Muoio) Falvo and the late Robert Falvo, who passed away earlier this year on November 26, 2012. He was raised and received his primary education in local schools, attending Blessed Sacrament Grammar school and Notre Dame High School. He continued his education at
Arizona State University
. At one time Ken held positions with the Utica Water Board, Madeline Distributing Co., Atlas Oil Company and was most recently employed by Oneida County.
Kenny's real strength came when it concerned others. He was an unselfish man who put everyone's needs before his own, especially when it came to his beloved family. He served as a caregiver to his brother Bob, his sister, Barb and most recently, his mom and dad. His favorite pastime was being with his friends, whether it be just spending time conversing, the Wednesday Night Poker game or watching a sporting event. From the Tour de France, Liverpool Soccer, "those damn Yankees" and of course the New York Giants, his passion was contagious. Ken was an athlete himself, he loved to play golf and fondly remembered "the good old days" of championship soft ball. His family will always cherish the family trips to New York City and South Florida with Ken's witty responses and abounding wisdom.
He leaves behind his cherished son, Christopher; his mother, Elvira, who he was truly devoted to; a sister, Judy, with whom he shared a special bond, and her husband, John Sullivan; his nephew and godson, Jackson Sullivan; a nephew, Peter Casatelli and his wife, Melissa and their children, Leah Rose, P.J., and Cole, who all adored their uncle Ken; a loving niece, Christina Casatelli and Tony D'Alessandro; a brother-in-law, Ron Castelli; and his godson, Anthony Talarico. Also surviving are aunts, uncles and cousins from the Dote and Battelene families. Kenny also leaves behind many very special friends.
In keeping with Kenny's wishes, there will be no calling hours. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend his Mass of Christian Burial and celebration of life which will be held on Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. at Holy Trinity Church in Utica. The Falvo family will receive visitors in church immediately following the funeral service. A tribute to Ken's life will be held on Saturday after the service, at a place to be announced all are welcome to attend.
Please consider memorial contributions in Kenny's memory to the Foundation for Upstate Medical University/Upstate Cancer Center. Envelopes will be available at the service. Funeral arrangements are with Adrean Funeral Service Inc.

Gallery owners Barbara and Ludo Leidevitz's dream came true when they eyed a lease sign on a building they'd wanted for more than a decade.
The triangular-shaped space, complete with high ceilings and lots of windows, was across from the Festival of the Arts grounds and the Laguna Beach Playhouse. The couple got a business license, a conditional-use permit and a Planning Commission OK and opened the Forest& Ocean Gallery just days before the festival season began last summer.
Now, immersed in the arts community and embraced by nearby business owners, the couple's business is thriving.
"I feel honored," Barbara Leidevitz said. "It's so renowned here for its artistic atmosphere. At times, I'm like, 'Wow, we've really got an art gallery here.'"
The city's arts reputation, its quality of life and its reputation as a thriving tourist destination are big draws for businesses, city officials say. In 2012, more than 31 businesses opened in the 24,942-resident town.
"More than 50 percent of people who want to do business because they've been coming here for years and have had wonderful experiences," said Ann Larson, planning manager who's been working with interested business owners for 22 years.
Cities countywide are positioning themselves to attract businesses and the sales tax revenue they bring. Whether by waiving business licenses, honing in on specific segments of the market or through some other approach, cities are tailoring their economic development strategies.
Some pay full-time staff, while others look to consultants to market the city's vision to prospective companies and retailers. Many work with their chambers of commerce. Still others develop task forces to help prospective businesses get through red tape. When commercial properties fill up, demand drives up rents; that spills over to residential units and property values go up with demand for more employees, said Jan Brueckner, a professor of economics at UC Irvine.
Businesses look for well-maintained communities to settle in, experts say. A good community lifestyle helps draw workers. Businesses also look to see what other businesses have set up shop in town. Settling near another, similar, business makes it easier to find skilled workers because they're already in the area – and, in some cases, ideas from one business may rub off on another, Brueckner said.
"Once a place gets the ball rolling, they get a cumulative advantage," Brueckner said.
In inland Orange County, Lake Forest is home to at least 40 businesses with national and international headquarters. The city promotes itself as both a geographically well-positioned and a family-oriented location for business. In the third quarter of 2012, the city's business parks had 98 percent occupancy, compared to 94 percent in Irvine and 96 percent countywide, said Jessica Gonzales, economic development manager.
Oakley occupies seven buildings and is the city's largest employer, with 2,400 people. In 1997, the company was one of the first to buy land in what is now Lake Forest's corporate community. Other sports-action companies like Sole Technology now operate in the city. More than 113 businesses opened in 2012 in the 73,000-resident city.
This summer, Applied Medical, based in Rancho Santa Margarita, will expand into Lake Forest. The company has purchased two buildings there.
Top reasons new businesses say they come to Lake Forest include no business license requirement, expedited permitting and plan-check processes, one-on-one business consultations and competitive lease rates. Five new master-planned communities will be built in the city in the next few years bringing more than 4,000 new homes conveniently located for employees.
City officials in Rancho Santa Margarita last week discussed a plan to attract more business to their 50,000-resident community. The city budgeted $48,780 to hire a consultant.
Two recent successes for Rancho are In-N-Out Burgers and Cinepolis, a high-end, six-theater entertainment complex where guests can order food and alcoholic beverages from their cinema seats.
Both businesses were recruited to the city through efforts by council members. Three years ago, former Councilman Jerry Holloway attended the International Council of Shopping Centers, a group that helps members network through education, research and action on legislation. There Holloway made contact with representatives from In-N-Out. At that time Rancho was one of 200 cities vying for the burger eatery.

we have some other "big names" but we saw last night that some other teams do as well..... and our "names" don't seem to live up to the "bigness" of them in tight situations.
Kobe is having to carry both ends of the floor right now because of the lack of any sort of cohesiveness on either end of the floor.
Last night we walked right into their trap over and over again..... Nash was completely nullified to the point that Morris' time of the floor was more productive.... Kobe was standing at the 3 point line with Wade in his shorts and we couldn't get the ball below the 3 point line with more than 8 seconds on the clock most of the night.
Kobe is playing too many minutes and being asked to do too much on a team with some other supposed "stars". He isn't the one that needs to adjust or sacrifice anymore..... it's about time the others got their collective acts together IMO.
Honestly, I think at times we THINK he has to 'carry' the team on both ends of the floor. The reality is, he doesn't on MOST nights if he (and we, as a team) play the right way together. And when we're not playing the right way together, a lot of that is going to go on Kobe as well. He's the leader of this team. That means you don't get to take the credit for the team playing well together, if you won't also accept any responsibility for the team not playing well together.
I also don't get the comments Kobe "having" to do things. Like exert energy on defense. Carry the team. Play on both ends of the floor. He's a freaking all-star/superstar making $30M per year which is more than any other player in the league. Saying he "has" to try on defense or carry the team, or play on both ends of the floor is like saying Howard "has" to be the anchor of the defense or Nash "has" to get teammates shots.
FWIW, Kobe played a bad game against the Heat, I even gave him the Zero, but I really don't think one can BLAME Kobe for the loss. That might not make any sense, but, the whole team was out of sorts and I for one don't think it was because of Kobe. But we hung in there, we were RIGHT there against an elite team and defending champs. I think we lost the game in the first half. I mean 16 turnovers in a HALF? Unacceptable. And sure, we were up by 1, but if commit your average (which is still high) we should have been up double digits.

By Roger, Pure Matters
My father, Judge Roger Brown Sr., would always tell me as a young child (and well into my adult life) that when you feel unbalanced -- or when life feels unbalanced to you -- always "go back to the basics." Well, it seems that the running and fitness worlds may have been unbalanced for years, because they have truly gone way back in terms of footwear. I'm talking specifically about the new craze that is "toe shoes."
Back to Basics. In this case, I guess it's something like barefoot throwback mode. Each individual toe fits in its own compartment, so the overall shape and fit of the shoe matches the natural contours of your feet. I got a pair this Father's Day; a bright Carolina Blue with yellow piping, care of my 7-year-old athletic phenom (and trendsetter) of a son. He was so excited to give me this particular gift, he couldn't keep the secret for very long!
On first impression, I was sold and ready to get on board. I was so excited to step in to my new way of life, I started wearing my new shoes the second I got them. Walking from the Justice Department, headed for Deep Creek Lake for a fun weekend away with my family, new gloves on my feet … yeah, maybe it felt a little bit strange, but I'd been eager for something new and cutting-edge and this definitely fit the bill.
Vibram FiveFingers shoes promote a number of health-related benefits, and as a trainer, one of those benefits in particular stands out for me: "when wearing Vibram Five Fingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility." It makes sense, right? Everything starts from the ground up, so why wouldn't our brain function be affected at least in part by what we put on our feet?
Balance is crucial for any athlete, and especially so at higher levels of competition. Today's training regimens are all geared toward core strength, balance, and stability. Vibram FiveFingers are designed specifically for this purpose, something regular running shoes are not. Over the years we have seen ample gimmicks thrown at us, including extra cushion, shox, gels, pumps, rocker bottoms … all have their upside, but do they really promote what aspiring athletes need for training on any level? In my opinion, they've only given us heartache and bad posture, troubled knees and ailing joints.
So here's my final analysis, having worn the shoes, trained with them, and spent some time thinking about how they have affected my body and performance:
- Being on my feet all day training clients and wearing regular running shoes, I often wake up the next day a little achy in my feet and lower leg area. After a few days of wearing Vibram FiveFingers at work, I feel great in the morning.
- By running barefoot (or rather, pretty close to barefoot) and thereby lowering the heel, our body weight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spine alignment.
- Strengthening muscles in the feet and lower legs will undoubtedly improve general foot health and reduce the risk of injury. This is covered by FiveFingers.
- They look a little weird, but given the benefits, that's probably alright.
What I'll tell you is that if you do end up buying a pair, start your training slow; wear them for a couple of hours first (not doing any real physical activity) then do a light exercise with them on. This will help aid in the transition toward becoming balanced from your feet all the way up -- and anything else will surely result in injury. And remember: In the end they're only shoes, and the real hard work and dedication will still have to come from you!

Gay Marriage, the Church, and the Jesus Response

I was so thankful yesterday to get a Facebook inbox message from a friend who was concerned about the current argument in America over gay marriage. Like many Christians, she was concerned about the moral failure of the country. She had been watching Facebook and so have I. I too, have seen many comments like, "Why don't people see what Scripture says?"
I'll be honest. I don't watch television news. For a good reason. It's only purpose seems to be to rile people up over things that are insignificant. You get stressed out. I mentioned in an online magazine recently how watching TV news in a constant flow caused my mother anxiety.
She said she read my blog occasionally and never saw me write anything about the issue. I don't. My blog is about fallen
pastors, mostly. Then, I write about issues secondary to that. Then, after that, I write about what tickles my fancy. I don't avoid the big issues. I've written about big issues before, but they're just not on the radar of what I do.
My response to her was probably not what she expected, but I hope it was biblical. (She did thank me for the sermon :)) I want to post it here then add some comments after. Here it is, verbatim:
Here is what I would say. And I pray it's the biblical thing, because any response of my own would be wrong.
I'd take it back to the apostle Paul who wrote to a church that was probably going through more moral decay than we are, if you can imagine. In his time, it wasn't just the culture, it was members of the church who were declining in morality. Members of the church were going up to the pagan temple and sleeping with temple prostitutes.
Paul was surrounded by a pagan Roman culture that was filled with violence, sex, child molestation, and hedonism – and all of it was legal. But Paul didn't write against the evil around him in the world. He wrote about the sin within the church. He says something interesting in 1 Corinthians 5:

After being shot by a sniper in Afghanistan in 2010, Marine Maj.

Doc Severinsen and His Big Band: "Once More with Feeling"
- Date:
- September 21, 2013
- Time:
- Location:
- Heritage Center: John and Alice Butler Hall
- Contact:
- Farber Box Office 585-SHOW or
come to the box office Monday thru Friday 12:30pm-5:30pm
"Heeeeere's Johnny!" That lead-in, followed by a big band trumpet blast, was the landmark of late night TV for three decades. Trumpeter Doc Severinsen is perhaps the most iconic band leader from the golden age of television as Johnny Carson's leader of the "Tonight Show Band." Named after his best-selling recording, this concert features Doc's 17-piece band and the amazing vocalist, Vanessa Thomas performing "When You're Smiling" and "Singing in the Rain." Doc still brings his trademark wit and has not lost his flair for the outrageous fashion statement. The Lincoln Journal Star proclaimed, "Amazingly, Severinsen proves that he still has the lip and the technique to play with power, precision, and stamina... (His) playing and bandleading certainly quashes any doubts that at 84 he might have lost some of his famous panache."

phoenix did have rail service at one time
Amtrak's reliance on freight railroads also has caused its service elimination. Passenger rail service was entirely discontinued to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1997, after the Union Pacific Railroad, which owns the tracks that served Phoenix, announced that it was abandoning the right of way. Amtrak did not have the funds to maintain the trackage. Today, the city proper is served only by Thruway Motorcoach, although Amtrak rail service is available about 37 miles (60 km) to the south in the rural town of Maricopa (Phoenix passengers also travel often to Tucson or Flagstaff by car or Greyhound bus to pick up those Amtrak trains which continue to make stops in those cities).
As is frequently the case, Wiki does not have it right. The following I put in an earlier thread:
This discussion comes up every few months. Go back to a thread in mid 2008 titled The Sun Never Sets in Phoenix.
I said this at that time:
Other than the date of change, which I really don't know the rest is somewhat less than accurate, which seems to be the norm for Wiki. Here are the facts:
The southern line, which UP calls the Gila subdivision was the original Southern Paciifc mainline. The loop through Phoenix was built much later, in the 1920's, and was always at best a secondary main built primarily so through passenger trains could serve Phoenix. It ran from Wellton at milepost 770.7 (zero at San Francisco) to Picacho. At Picacho the milepost is 979.7 on the Phoenix line but only 936.7 via the main through Maricopa. Thus, the route is 166.0 miles on the main and 209.0 miles through Phoenix, an additional distance of 43.0 miles. Phoenix yard is at milepost 907.0, so this 209 mile length represents 137.3 miles west of Phoenix with almost nothing there and 72.7 miles east of Phoenix through Tempe and a few other places.
The Phoenix line was all jointed rail with an automatic block signal system with semaphores. Generally the passenger train speed limit was 60 mph, although some parts east of Phoenix allowed 70 mph. Pictures I have seen of the line west show the rail as being 113 lb, a section unique to the SP and long obsolete and out of production. By the early 90's this line was needing major rail relay, major tie replacement, and signal system upgrades. The decision was make to concetrate on the 70 miles east of Phoenix in order to maintain freigth access to the city rather than attempt to keep the entire 209 miles up for 60 mph service.
To the best of my knowledge the track is all still in place, but not all in service, and the signal system is likewise all in place, but likely not functional for most or the line west.
With the same weasel words, here is the current status of the line as given in the employee timetable, going from west to east.
Yuma at mp 732.7
Wellton at mp 770.7, west end of Phoenix Sub.
mp 770.7 to 802.8: "Roll Industrial Lead" 20 mph - restricted speed
mp 802.8 to 854.0: Out of service
mp 854.0 to 904.8: 25 mph - may have slow orders to less
mp 904.8 to 905.6: 20 mph
mp 905.6 to 906.7: 15 mph (Phoenix passenger station at 906.0)
mp 906.7 to 907.9: 20 mph
mp 907.9 to 913.6: 25 mph
mp 913.6 to 916.5: 20 mph
mp 916.5 to 920.8: 40 mph
mp 920.8 to 922.0: 25 mph
mp 922.0 to 924.2: 40 mph
mp 924.2 to 957.0: 60 mph
mp 957.0 to 963.5: 40 mph
mp 963.5 to 975.6: 60 mph
mp 975.6 to 979.3: 45 mph
mp 979.3 to 979.7: 25 mph
Summarizing: For the 135.3 miles west of the Phoenix station, 51.2 miles is out of service and the remainder has a speed limit of 25 mph or less. But, it is all still there.
Wild guess: about $200 to $300 million to get the Phoenix line west to the point that it could carry the Sunset at 60 mph or 79 mph. (The difference in cost for getting it in condition for 60 mph and for 79 mph would be next to nothing.) There is no way that it makes sense for Amtrak or the state of Arizona to spend that kind of money for a three times a week train, and for sure it makes no sense for UP to spend it. The additional 43 miles and going through a major urban area is why it also make no sense for UP to increase the Sunset Route capacity by upgrading the Phoenix line for part of a directional running system with the Gila line instead of what they are doing, which is adding a second main along their original main line through a mostly unpopulated desert. Now, if it was decided to operate multiple passenger trains per day between Arizona and Los Angeles, that could change the picture.
