So its hard to tell from the link you posted g1nked.. but what are the best campsites to stay at..
Also is there any place to book online?
well i was afraid of that but I didnt stay last year i just got introduced day of the tournament to the sport. I know that the west side of the map and the north side borders the course. Do you want close to the shelter house or close to the bathrooms? Id say the ones on the west side though anything surrounding the campground shelter is convenient to the bathrooms and course. Maybe some people from last year can recommend where they stayed last year.
Best of my knowledge you would have to call because as of yet no online booking the parks website is outdated to say the best. If I can be of any help please call me for further information... 5zero2 5forty Four ten sixty one
Last question, do you have to specify what campsite you want when you call them?
Sir yes Sir just to check availability to the best of my knowledge.. trust me any site will be awesome just depends on if you want to be close to the shower house, shelter house HQ's or nearest to the course. none are very far from anything so its personal preference. Terry and I are going out to lay some mulch Ill see which one is the best imho as far as course wise. Ill get back to you this evening or pm me Ill text you some pics
I am going to play.

Yes, but I retired at the age of 48. Fed up with it for the time being.
[quote author="Rod"]Yes, but I retired at the age of 48. Fed up with it for the time being.
Why? doctors make good money….and the great green is what we all need….
Get with it. Millions of galaxies of hundreds of millions of stars, and a speck on one in a blink. That's us, lost in space. The cop, you, me… Who notices?
What happened here? I leave for a little while, and everything goes to hades!
When last I was here, I asked why astrology should work. This should be the fumdamental question posited to all who buy into supernatural claims. It's not enough to say, "well, I find it usefull and so it must work." If I believe that the Tic Tac that I am swallowing is really a Tylenol, my headache will likely go away, but that doesn't mean that sugary candies have medicinal properties.
The question, again is, exactly why should astrology work? What forces are the celestial bodies emanating that they should have influences over us?
But the question was dodged! Instead we get as segue into a Cruise-ian rant on the corupted nature of modern psychology and pharmacology! Whilst this may be a subject worth visting, I, for one, would still like to know the answer to the questions that I and others asked in response to the stated topic of this particular posting.
People have said that an infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of keyboards would produce the works of Shakespeare, but the internet has shown this to be wrong.
there is no conclusive proof and have long since given up interest in Astrology….existence is too hard in this shithole otherwise known as Korea for me to study somethign unverifable…it's probably all bullshit…nowadays I am an Astrology-Agnostic….hope that answers your questions….

There is no need to answer that question. Most people believe in a self, this works for them - though buddhists think otherwise. Scientifically, this notion of a separate self that continues through time, is on weak footing. But nobody seems to get mad about that one.
There are many things we do that we continue to do because they work for us. This does not serve as proof for others, but there is nothing wrong with that.
Unfortunately many astrologers see a causal relationship and thus raise the issue you are talking about. How do these celestial bodies cause certain things to happen or traits to arise in an individual. Many astrologers do not think of it this way. There is a pattern that occurs both in the patterns of the planets at the birth moment - for example - and there is a similar pattern in the individual born at that moment. They match and they fit.
There were Africans and non-african scientists who thought that elephants knew what other elephants were doing over long distances. They were sure of this. Others questioned them, saying that there was no mechanism, confusing this with a proof that there wasn't one. Later ultra sound was discovered to be the way they were communicating.
We don't always have to wait for science to validate something to know it.
And the theories out there in current physics are far weirder than Astrology. In fact QM is really strange and has non-causal relations, particles traveling back in time, instantaneous 'caues' over vast distances. And so on. And QM is old hat.
[quote author="Sanfu"]There are many things we do that we continue to do because they work for us. This does not serve as proof for others, but there is nothing wrong with that.
While I agree that people have every right to believe whatever nonsense they whish, I also feel that it is encumbent upon us to lay to rest such superstitious nonsense. I especially believe that when, as with astrology, hucksters and flim-flam artist rake in wealth by deluding people, people who often are in a fragile position, ripe to be taken advantage of. These charlatians prey on those who are vulnerable or in need of help, shedding them of their hard earned cash by providing a riddiculously useless non-service. There is something wrong with that.

Do they? Many of the astrological charts that modern astrologers rely upon were drawn up hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. The celestial bodies (which are ever in motion) have shifted since then. If the position of the planets in relation to the stars is of crucial importants to the astrological "system," then modern readings based on those charts would be fatally flawed. Even those who believe that the "system" really works should be incapable of creating accurate readings.
But, of course, as you stated, most of the "truths" revealed by an astrological reading are read back into it after the fact. It would seem to me that astrology would work in much the same way as "cold readings." I myself have dabbled with that technique (although I let the people know upfront that there is nothing supernatural involved), and have been amazed how well this works. People seem to be willing, even eager to forget the misses and concentrate on the "hits."
[quote author="Sanfu"]There were Africans and non-african scientists who thought that elephants knew what other elephants were doing over long distances. They were sure of this. Others questioned them, saying that there was no mechanism, confusing this with a proof that there wasn't one. Later ultra sound was discovered to be the way they were communicating.
But science did validate that belief. Scientist have been investigating paranormal phenomina for centuries (True! Infact the originator of my nom de plum wrote a book exposing the tricks of magicians nearly 2000 years ago, though it is now, quite unfortunately lost). In all that time, with all that scrutiny, wouldn't you think at least some of astrologies claims would have been verified? The elephants in your story were able to comunicate through natural, and detectible, means. Astrology, on the other hand, still would seem to rely upon powers of a supernatural origin.
[quote author="Sanfu"]And the theories out there in current physics are far weirder than Astrology. In fact QM is really strange and has non-causal relations, particles traveling back in time, instantaneous 'caues' over vast distances. And so on. And QM is old hat.
Quantum mechanics is based on the scientific principle. The theory was arrived at through observations, testing, and mathmatical equations. The proofs for QM are reproducable by multiple scientist world wide.
Astrology, on the other hand, will generate different results depending on who is doing the reading, or what system they are using to produce those readings. QM might seem weird to the layman, but it has practical applications. Astrology is pure Bulls*Hit. Comparing the two is just silly.
Of course there are terrible astrologers and the people who find them through the back pages of women's magazines and the like are often meeting what you fear. But there are many astrologers who do not fit what you are saying. I can also tell that you have little experience with what happens when intelligent clients meet intelligents astrologers, yet you assume that their interactions are abusive and clients are victims, to weak intellectually to see through the BS, as you put it. These judgements of yours are not based in reality. My clients tend to be college educated professionals who use critical thinking on a daily basis in a variety of ways. They are not weak pathetic people. I am sure you will assume that at best they are lapsing into irrationality when they meet me, but your description of the relationship is hallucinatory.
There are many scientists who believe in paranormal activity and feel that their studies have validated that in all the ways scientists like. a fairly mainstream example is Rupert Sheldrake. There are also some statisticians who have set out to disprove astrology, a French man names Gauquelin (sp) is one example. He ended up developing his own school of astrology.
The elephant example shows that it can be rational to trust one's intuition and not wait around for scientific validation.
It is not silly to bring up QM. Most people who are groupies of science do not know much about science. They are children of Newton, have not integrated Einstein and have no idea that there is QM, let alone later developments. You were demanding a causal connection between the celestial bodies and us. That is making assumptions about correlation that QM at the very least calls into question. Also rationalists tend to consciously or unconsciously argue from a weirdness criterion and astrology sounds weird to them, stuck instinctively in Newton's billiard ball universe.
It is rational for me to believe that astrology can be a valuable tool both for myself and in my interactions with others. 20 years of experience bears this out. You want to claim it is the placebo effect. If I had another client pool, I might wonder more, but my clients, including scientists, and including people who I did long distance readings for whom I never met in person, have seemed to smart for me to take their compliments are simply the productions of naivte and my predatory nature.
None of this, of course, is proof, for you. But I don't care about that. If you want to believe that all intuition not already validated by science in double-blind tests should not be used, that is, literally, your problem.
[quote author="Celsus"][quote author="Sanfu"]There are many things we do that we continue to do because they work for us. This does not serve as proof for others, but there is nothing wrong with that.
You critique involving the shifting of celestial bodies shows some misunderstandings of astrology. I think. It is hard to tell. In any case it does not work as a critique.
I am sure cold readings can 'work' with non-critical people. Sun sign astrology in newspapers seems to 'work' though that is ridiculous. You could try to prove your case, not that I think the onus is on you. Challenge one of the graduates of the German Astrological Schools to a contest. You do 5 cold reading and he or she can do 50 astro readings and see who gets more hits.
First off, just because scientist believe in woo woo, it doesn't make it true. Just like regular folks, scientist can be hoplessly lost when they step outside their field. Back in the 1970's, many scientist were convinced that Uri Gellar exhibitted real psychic powers, until the Amazing Randi was able to show them that he could replicate everything Gellar could do with ordinary magic tricks.
As you seem to be a professonal, perhaps you can explain a few things. For instance, I have seen experiments where a number of people are given what they are told are personally created astrological readings. Afterwords, the vast majority of the readers claim that these readings are mostly to exceptionally accurate. It was then revealed to them that everyone had been given the same paper. There have also been experiments where supposedly accurate astrologers were given information about a variety of people, everything relevent to an astrological reading except the individuals name. None of the astrologers were able to accurately predict anything about those individuals. Indeed, they often gave very warm and rosey reading for such reprehensible individuals as Hitler, the Son of Sam, and John Wayne Gacy! If astrology is as scientific as QM, shouldn't the stars have informed those astrologers that one of their profiles was responsible for the deaths of millions of people?
However these things probably don't raise questions in your mind. Thats fine. As I stated before, you have every right to believe in what ever nonsense you wish, just as I have every right to call into question any nonsense I wish. It still never ceases to amaze me that this is the forum for the book "the End of Faith," and yet we often seem to get posters who want to claim that their personal beliefs should be exempt from the aim of this book. It amazes me even more that these people seem to be shocked that anyone would question the veracity of their faith, because their personal experiences with their faith proves that it's true. Perhaps you don't see it this way, but astrology is a faith, and as you seem to be an astrologer, you have a vested intrest in trying to keep your faith alive. Fine. If you want to believe in all sorts of paranormal notions that have either been invalidated by science, and want to ignore the information that debunks their claims, well, my friend, I would have to say that that is literally your problem.
By the by, you don't seem to have that great of an understanding of QM. QM equations work fine at the subatomic level, where they do accurately predict actions, but have been shown to be woefully inadaquite for use in the larger world, which is still governed by Newtonian physics, else quantum mechanics would be used to plot the courses of spacecraft. This is why Unified Field Theories are still the holy grail of many research scientist. This is why we have Super-String theory, which atleast seems to work at both the micro and macro levels, but nothing is conclusive about that yet. Don't go counting your alternate universes until they're hatched.

No one is dying over astrology. People are dying over religion. However unverifiable it is astrology is not killing anyone. This is a major point made often by Sam Harris. You sound like a technocrat who believes that science will unravel every mystery ever to cross man's mind. I disagree, in any event we homo sapiens will destroy ourselves in a nuclear holocaust long before such a point is ever reached. I would not want you on a board for education since you would most likely outlaw the study of language, literature and anything else not verifiable by the scientific method…read Brave New World and 1984 again if you have not yet done so. There are people who spend years studying the works of Joyce and Rousseau. Nothing contained therein is verifiable by the scientific method, are these endeavours consequently useless? There are more things in heaven and earth, dear Celsus, than are dreamt of in your philosophy (scientific method)...techocratic thinking such as yours is what is destroying psychiatry in your country, where the swallowing of a pill is considered effective treatment for any inappropriate state of mind. I am strongly opposed to relgious faith but as a person who has spent years studying, language, literature and history I cannot agree with the premise that the only thing worthy of our study is something reducable to the scientific method….
Me, a technocrat? Hardly! The two main obsessions of my life are art and literature. I never leave home without a sketchbook, camera, and something to read. I can actually get positively giddy in an art museum! If anything, I would like to see a return to a more classical style of learning, where an understanding of the arts was considered crucial, if for no other reason than to supply me with friends and co-workers who can understand what I'm talking about!
You say that astrology doesn't hurt anyone, but I disagree. I've known a few people who take astrology seriously, so seriously that they will base their feelings of others on their "sign." A person who believes that they can't get allong with anyone who's a "Cancer," for instance, is certainly limiting their social interactions. I've known people who base major decisions, such as whether or not to take a job, or when to have a child, based on readings given to them by astologers.
Is that truely harmless? You may feel it is, but I don't. By your statements, we should be accepting of psychics, homeopaths, faith healers,dowsers, and any other supplier of false hopes and promises. Just because something may not physically harm you, it doesn't mean it's harmless.

As I indicated in an earlier post…I have since given up the pursui of astrology…I have too much work and life is too stressful….I am an agnostic when it comes to astrology…I simply do not think about it anymore. Having said that I resent that you lump me into this pot of people who maintain that faith healing, psychics, et al. are valid fields of pursuit. I have never claimed that. I originally posted my SUBJECTIVE experience with astrology….and now at this point in time no longer have a place for it in my life. Wake up, people's opinions change all the time, I am open to new ideas, thus did I change my mind…you have obviously missed what I intended to convey in the above posts…

My above post, while it was in response to your last post, wasn't entirely aimed at you. If I have missrepresented your claims, I am sorry, however, what I was doing was perhaps exagerating certain ideas sugested by both you and sanfu as to the claims of astrology. And I never claimed that you did believe in pseudo-science, but was trying to show that astrology should be lumped in there. Maybe I came across a little harshly, but it was entirely unintended.
Glad to hear that you've become agnostic on astrology. Now if Sanfu will only follow you :wink:
Celsus, stardusk,
Many months ago on this forum I participated in a debate on astrology. My interest in the subject is due to my brother, a "working" astrologer in Poland, who had radio and TV appearances on the subject but who does not cast horoscopes for money. In fact, he is mostly interested in applying astrology to the history of mankind and the history of the ideas such as the idea of universalism originating in Rome, continuing in Christianity and now incarnated in the bodies of the European Union and United Nations.
The debate motivated me to explore the internet and find out more about the famous works of Michel Gauquelin to see where we are today in the "debate" astrology vs science. The history of the debate is fascinating in itself and demonstrates that dishonesty, falsification of data and other similar "tactics" are practiced fervently on both sides of the debate. You can explore the topic yourself but for your convenience here is the summary of the conclusions I reached.
The Mars effect is real and has been confirmed rather than debunked by numerous efforts undertaken by both sides of the debate. For astrologers, however, it is a Pyrrhus victory: all traditionally accepted methods used by astrology to cast personal horoscopes fell apart when statistics got applied to them. Interestingly, the Mars (or Venus, Jupiter, Mrcury) effect is demonstrated on the very small fragment of the population: the best athletes, the best writers, the best politicians - crop of the crop only. It doesn't apply to the rest of us, average Joes.
On the other hand I am not prepared to discard the astrology for my personal use, or to interpet the history the way my brother presented to me. Why? Well, the following site provides an explanation I like:
By the way, upon learning that Stephen Hawking is the personal enemy #2 of astrology (#1 being the British Royal astronomer) I only confirmed my suspicions that his Big Bang theory and all the nois around it smack a little of pseudo-science.
Yours truely,
Thomas Orr
Never Afraid of Being Controversial
[quote author="Thomas Orr"]Celsus, stardusk,
Yes well I am agnostic on the subject…I would need hard evidence that astrology works. Until that is forthcoming I cannot stake anything of importance on astrology. In my New Age days I voluntarily threw out hundreds of Euros on astrological consulations. I will never do that again. Give me hard evidence and I will resubscribe. Case in Point, my chart( condensed version), which I will go through briefly here:
Sun in Pisces, Moon in Cancer
This astrological combination is a very harmonious one. Much about you is fluid and receptive. Your emotional nature is highly developed, and your sympathies extend to the universe at large. However, you are most at peace with yourself in your own home, where your sensitivity of heart and mind are best expressed. There is always a danger in your life of withdrawing into a life of introspection and suspended activity. One who is as receptive as you should choose your environment carefully and with discrimination. You must always be aware of the dangers in being too receptive to the thoughts and feelings of others. You may meet with psychic experiences, as you can transcend the confines of self and take on the form of another. By using your will to screen out detrimental influences, your sensitive nature will not be exploited or open to the entrance of harmful forces. This is the key to a happier existence.
Subjectively speaking I can readily identity with this description as I did for many years when I was an astrophile. However it begs the question that virtually anyone could probably identify with the description above. I reckon that 90% of the people on the forum would see themselves in that description and I reckon that their charts are not nearly as waterlogged as mine (a majority of planets, rising sign and houses in either Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). But you be the judge. Do you see yourself in the description above?
Ascendant in Cancer, Moon in the Twelfth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Cancer was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Moon is located in the twelfth house.
Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives are under the rulership of the Moon. Your life will be full of changes and intermittent periods of activity and relaxation. Your vulnerability to external influences makes you subconsciously imitate the manners and ways of those with whom you relate.
In many instances, circumstances will require that you play the role of worldliness and sophistication but under the mask there will exist a very sensitive human being who is easily offended, and also very perceptive of the more subtle influences and impressions, as well as of psychic vibrations.
Cancer gives the tendency to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation. This happens to you often because you tend to interfere in the affairs of others when you are not needed or wanted. Throughout your life, your responses will be emotional rather than rational.
Cancer also gives a tendency for life to be centered in the home and family; your attachment to your private and domestic habits is so strong that without them you could hardly endure. In love matters, you are emotional and gentle.
For the difficult aspects we must warn you against becoming overly preoccupied with trivial details of a psychological nature. Another tendency that you have is to flatter and to criticize carelessly, without regard for the other person's feelings.
Destiny may place you in environments where your natural traits can be best expressed. You will be happier when allowed to be occupied with searching for a person or a thing, though not necessarily in important work.
Your life possesses an aura of peculiar activities and studies realized in out-of-the-way places.
You will either live secretively or possess important secrets of another person. Your mind is greatly influenced by the sea of subconsciousness and there is an inborn love for occultism, mystery, and romantic adventures. On the other side, this position may give you a certain lack of stability and firmness in dealing with others.
Once again SUBJECTIVE. But yes is that me? sure, it is accurate. But I think it a coincidence. Sure I like romance, mystery and off the wall stuff but millions of others who have completely opposing charts do as well. Once again you be the judge, is that you?
Saturn in the Second House
Saturn is found in the second house at the time of your birth. This is not a very favorable astrological circumstance for the general course of financial matters in your life.
It might be difficult to maintain a relatively fair position because of financial losses. You might also take financial matters too serious, and burden yourself with worries about them.
Your arduous and dedicated work might produce little for you financially, but it does help to strengthen your self-worth and your appreciation of other values. Therefore, do not be discouraged. Saturn often grants a fairly normal financial status at an older age if one exerts oneself in this direction.
If you make an effort to acquire greater enthusiasm in business, coupled with more liberality, life will change by the same degree.
Mate, Saturn in the 2nd house applies to millions of people out there and they do not have a Saturn in Leo (in its detriment since Leo is the opposition sing of Auarius, which is a co-ruler of Saturn). Who doesn't have money problems? See yourself here?
Sun in the Eighth House
The Sun was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. This inclines your individuality to be oriented, in one way or another, to the deeper sides of life. Your sexual feelings are long-lasting, intense, and vital. Your inner self seems attracted to unusual matters related to the termination of life-death and its mysteries.
Traditional astrology indicates that near your middle age a crisis will rear its head in your life. If this period is successfully spanned you can expect a prolonged life with a gradual heightening vitality.
Financially, there are definite chances for money inherited from either your partner or from another relative.
Venus in the Eighth House
Venus was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. This is a favorable position regarding the possibilities of financial gain through businesses owned by your partner or by associates.
Psychologically, you are going to find many harmonious conditions in your sexual relationships.
If your inner growth is such that your vital energies are oriented toward spiritual rather than material pleasures, then you will arrive at gratification and happiness through inquiry into the mysteries of life and death.
You should have some excellent opportunities for progress in your financial and social condition during your middle age or when you finally stabilize your life through marriage or any other type of close relationship.
Moon in the Twelfth House
The Moon was in your twelfth house at the time of birth. Secretly, you enjoy a love of romance and adventure that lends a bit of excitement to your daydreaming.
It is possible that the little popularity that you may enjoy in this life will be from some very reserved and secretive circles where your merits are recognized.
It can be expected that you will be successful in positions that call for solitude or remote locations.
It goes on and on. I would argue that this applies to millions of people out there who are not waterlogged or have their Venus and Mars in the 8th house. See what I am getting at.
Moon Conjunct Ascendant
The Moon conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have some emotional hangups. You want close, intimate contacts with others, but you tend to keep people at arm's length because you are afraid you will become obligated to them.
You are a mass of contradictions - making demands on people but complaining when they do the same to you; expecting others to make overtures to you and withdrawing when they do. Although you are highly imaginative, you react to stimulating people in a generally negative and critical way.
On the surface you are independent, but you yearn for a quieter role in which you can enjoy the comfort of knowing that someone really cares for you. This can only happen when you lower your defensive barriers and learn to compromise by meeting people halfway.
Mars Conjunct Ascendant
Mars conjunct the Ascendant gives you an inexhaustible supply of energy. You are constantly in motion, but sometimes it is motion without meaning. Lacking self-discipline, you take daring and unnecessary risks when challenged. You want most of all for people to recognize your superiority.
The image you present hides a persistent inferiority complex. You probably win your arguments by making the most noise and wearing out your opponents with unceasing harassment. But you do not need to waste energy this way, because you have enormous creative ability that merely needs to be harnessed to an objective. When you do this, no one can succeed as easily as you can, and with energy to spare.
On the positive side, you are independent and self-confident. You know how to mobilize people and their resources to achieve your objectives.

Take this chart and show it to a thousand people and I reckon that well over half of them will find themselves in it. Statistically this amounts to absolutely zero evidence. I stand on my scepticism and my agnosticism towards astrology…by the way, Pluto is no longer a planet. Astrology is just a substitute for faith, people looking for a source of understanding and hope, which unfortunately not to be found there…best SD
Looks like you didn't bother to read my previous post in full. I mentioned that Gauquelin's studies proved that tradiotional astrology desn't work; more specifically, astrological hypothesis based on astrological Sun signs, angles and houses always fails the test of statistics.
What Gauquelin demonstrated, however, is very interesting. He compiled a list of few thousand "best" athletes and studied how Mars is situated in the charts of those athletes with respect to ascendant and the culminating point (the highest point over the horizon). He demonstrated that in the population of "best" athletes the percentage of those whose Mars is in proximity of those special points is significantly higher than in control poulation of "average" people.
Interestingly, in the hot debate that followed nobody questioned the numerical results. Gauquelin was accused of not being objective in determining who is an "outstanding" athlete and number of similar "cheats". Indeed, Gauquelin was guilty of confusing experiment with the process of formulating the hypothesis. However, in the end he was proven right.
It is also very interesting to note that the final definition of an "outstanding" athlete everybody accepted in the end was one based on how often the name of the athlte is quoted in sports related literature.
To me the most interesting aspect of the entire debate was the fact that Gauquelin was a statistician and astrologer who at some point started to doubt astrology and devoted his entire adult life to testing astrological premises. He was not sure about what test were going to say for a long time, which stands in sharp contrast not only to his astrological colleages ignorant in statistics but also in contrast to "scientists" who claimed that science disproves astrology but never had it in themselves to prove their statement with honest experiment.

12/13/13 Khloe to File for Divorce
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, December 13, 2013
MILEY CYRUS has joined something called the "Free the Nipple" campaign, by Tweeting a picture of herself holding a fake boob in front of her face. Free the Nipple is an attempt to end the media's, quote, "glorification of violence and repression of nudity" . . . and to, quote, "decriminalize the female body."
On "Ellen" yesterday, LEA MICHELE said she's still dealing with the death of CORY MONTEITH . . . quote, "Grief goes with you every day, whatever you're doing, when there's great moments, when there's hard moments. I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this, or you can choose to rise. And that's what I'm just trying to do."
TMZ is reporting this morning that Khloe Kardashian is calling it quits. She will officially file divorce papers, later today, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Bruce Jenner is allegedly planning on flattening his Adam's Apple. The 64-year-old met with a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon on Thursday for a consultation regarding the procedure, known as a tracheal shave. The operation reduces the size of the cartilage in the neck, and is typically performed on patients as part of a sex change. Bruce has been pounded by rumors that he is a secret cross dresser, but he denied that he is transitioning from male to female, and said, 'I just never liked my trachea.'
Susan Sarandon says she was stoned at almost all the award shows in Hollywood. Susan appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" and host Andy Cohen asked her to name one major Hollywood event she showed up to stoned. She replied almost all except the Oscars.
12/12/13 Kanye at it Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, December 12, 2013
According to a Yahoo poll, JENNIFER LAWRENCE is the female celebrity most guys would want to take home to their mothers. For some reason the list only goes up to NINE, and it includes three definite head-scratchers: Drug-loving twerk-fiend MILEY CYRUS . . . shoe-gazing home-wrecker KRISTEN STEWART . . . and serial monogamist (slash) ex-girlfriend-from-Hell TAYLOR SWIFT. Not to mention recovering drug addict DEMI LOVATO and amateur nude model VANESSA HUDGENS.
The "Star" magazine claims that JUSTIN BIEBER has been testing out a new pickup line. Supposedly, he's been walking up to girls and asking them if they want to be "BIEBERED". A source says, quote, "His friends thought it was hilarious, but to Justin it's not a joke . . . he thinks he's so incredible in the bedroom that it's a privilege for girls to get with him."
During his show Tuesday night, KANYE WEST complained about only getting two Grammy nominations. He said, quote, "So when the Grammy nominations come out and 'Yeezus' is the top one or two album on every single list, but only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say? Did they think that I wouldn't notice?"
OPRAH WINFREY has revealed why she never wanted kids . . . quote, "If I had kids, my kids would hate me. They would have ended up on the equivalent of the 'Oprah' show talking about me; because something [in my life] would have had to suffer and it would've probably been them."
12/11/13 Britney Spears Wants Baby Girl
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
BRITNEY SPEARS wants another baby . . . and not surprisingly, it's for selfish reasons. She says, quote, "I would really like to have another baby, a girl. I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it's going to be crazy. I'm not going to feel as alone in the world anymore. I'm going to feel like I have a second person, like, that's me." Britney has two sons, 8-year-old Sean and 7-year-old Jayden. Their father is INTERNATIONAL RAPPING AND DANCING SENSATION KEVIN FEDERLINE.
We heard a rumor that TAYLOR LAUTNER was nailing KRISTEN STEWART. Well, now we know it's not true. Because Taylor is still dating Marie Avgeropoulos . . . an actress he met on the set of his upcoming movie "Tracers". They were linked a few months ago, and this past weekend they were spotted snuggling at the JAY Z concert in L.A.
KATE WINSLET had a baby boy on Monday. There's no word yet on his name. The boy's father is the nephew of billionaire RICHARD BRANSON. He calls himself NED ROCKNROLL. In fact, he legally changed his name to that. And yet Kate married and reproduced with him anyway. She's 38, he's 35. Kate now has three children with three different husbands.
It looks like SIMON COWELL and Lauren Silverman really are naming their son Simon. A so-called "insider" who was at Lauren's baby shower says, quote, "There were baby clothes and little games all personalized with the name 'Simon'. From what everyone, including Lauren, was saying, they are 100% naming their son Simon. Initials for baby Simon were everywhere."
Miami police say LINDSAY LOHAN is NOT being investigated in the beating of PARIS HILTON'S brother BARRON over the weekend.
A police spokesman says, quote, "Lindsay Lohan's name was never mentioned. If she had orchestrated it, we would have been told. And we didn't receive that information on the scene." There are reports that Barron is no longer pursuing charges . . . and one source says it's because someone who was at the party threatened to release photos that show the whole thing was his fault.
12/10/13 Most Overpaid Actors
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Forbes.com has named ADAM SANDLER the Most Overpaid Actor of 2013. For every dollar Adam is paid, his movies gross just $3.40. He's followed by Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon, Nicolas Cage and Kevin James.
KANYE WEST compared performing on tour to being a cop or a soldier over the weekend. Especially when he's on the fake mountain that takes up a big part of his stage. He said, quote, "That mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped . . . You never know . . . I think about my family and I'm like, 'Wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.'"
In an interview with RYAN SEACREST, JUSTIN BIEBER said he's just a "19-year-old boy." He added, quote, "I'm becoming a man but I'm still 19, I'm still finding myself and when I have the media attacking me every day, it's no less bullying than what happens in schools." Meanwhile, Justin's mother revealed that his first word was "money".
Lamar Odom was sentenced to three years of probation yesterday after pleading no contest to DUI. In addition to probation, he'll be required to complete an alcohol education class and pay $1814 in fees and fines.
12/9/13 LiLo Drama

Monday, December 9, 2013
LINDSAY LOHAN reportedly made a friend of hers beat PARIS HILTON'S brother BARRON to a pulp, after she heard Barron was talking trash about her. It happened Friday morning during a party at a Miami mansion. The party had started Thursday night, and it was apparently a wild one, because it was DAYLIGHT when the trouble started. Sources say Lindsay heard that Barron was talking smack about her . . . so she approached him with a male friend, talked some trash, and then her friend beat him to a pulp. Police were called but Lindsay left before they showed up. Barron posted a picture of his facial injuries online, and Paris commented, quote, "They both will pay for what they did. No one [effs] with my family and gets away with it!!" There's been bad blood between Paris and Lindsay ever since 2006, when Paris' friend Brandon Davis went on a vile, hateful rant against Lindsay in a paparazzi video
The "New York Post" says DON RICKLES is recovering from necrotizing fasciitis . . . which is a FLESH-EATING DISEASE. It's in his leg, and he's had to have skin grafts where infected tissue was removed. His rep says, quote, "He has been rehabbing the leg, is back on his feet and is doing wonderfully. He is looking forward to be back on the road after the first of the year." Don is 87.

The Sony A7 and A7R are two compact digital cameras, boasting full-frame image sensors and interchangeable lenses.
The A7 and the A7R may have different performance and image quality, but on the outside they're identical.
The Alpha SLT-A99V is a generally great camera that's equally adept at both stills and video, but with a few caveats.
The highlight of this year's biannual Photokina camera show was a bevy of full-frame cameras, a couple at new low price points.
The 6D is designed to be a little more welcoming than the usual full-frame pro model.

The Just For Laughs comedy festival (brought to you by TBS) in Chicago is a huge, huge deal in the comedy world. The event takes place from June 11th to the 16th. TBS's annual Just For Laughs Chicago, which claims to be the largest comedy festival in America, will take over the city. This year's impressive lineup contains more than its fair share of comedy A-Listers, in addition to a number of local favorites. The comics will scattered across the city from the Chicago Theater all the way to the Park West.
Some big names would be Russell Brand from Forgetting Sarah Marshall & Get him to the Greek, David Cross from Arrested Development and Saturday Night Live's head writer Seth Myers. Bob Newhart is performing also; I didn't know Bob Newhart was still doing live shows none the less was alive (insert bad joke here). These are just a few; over 100 comedians will be performing live through the city, for a full schedule of all the performers and shows click here.
One of the acts I am looking forward to are the Stars of TruTV's Impractical Jokers. Is If there's one thing best friends know how to do, it's pranking and embarrassing the hell out of each other for the amusement of others. But while most people get that sort of thing out of their systems by the end of high school, these childhood pals have turned it into a life's calling. Their hidden-camera show Impractical Jokers on truTV was a smash hit and they will bring their hysterical hijacks to the Just for Laughs festival for a night of never-before-seen hidden camera challenges, stories from set that you won't believe, a live Q&A, and real, outrageous messages from fans!

Market Potential for ITSM Graduates: A Survey
2009, Information Systems Management
IT Service management is an emerging discipline likely to enhance existing academic IT program offerings. One barrier to adoption of ITSM in IT academic programs is the uncertainty that students can get jobs as a result of such education and knowledge. To overcome this barrier, a survey of the membership of the U.S. IT Service Management Forum, a practitioner organization, was conducted. The results of this survey show that there is a market of at least 15,000 hires per year in the U.S. for undergraduate and graduate students who have ITSM skills, and that companies are willing to hire ITSM-trained graduates.

As many of you know, last weekend the ASPCA and responders from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) removed more than 360 dogs from dog fighting properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Many are emaciated, with scars and wounds consistent with dog fighting. They're spending their first days learning what it's like to receive adequate care.
The dogs and puppies are safe now. They'll never suffer in extreme heat without access to water. They'll never be chained to cinder blocks and car tires again. And they'll never be forced to fight.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to hundreds of dogs and puppies. Our work is far from over. It's a massive undertaking that will require months of food and supplies and man hours to ensure these dogs get the best possible care. Veterinary professionals, behavior professionals and so many others will be involved.
Please take a moment to watch and share our rescue video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the real conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.
That's what makes you the best. You should keep publishing more such articles and you will become one of the best writers everCash For Gold
ASPCA you are wonderful wonderful people. You are like GOD! Thank you so much for what you do>>> And make those people pay for this!!!!!! in JAIL!!
Thank you all for the wonderful, selfless work you do every day for so many animals that cannot speak for themselves. I hope the people that ran this horrible, painful, careless operation are punished to the greatest extent...it still will never be enough.....We already contribute monthly, and give extra through out times that we can. We are so very, very grateful for the "A"!!!! God bless you all!!!!
The work that you people do is priceless. Thank you for looking out for these poor
animals that have been so abused. The human animals that find joy in hurting and
abusing these animals should be punished with the most severe punishment allowed. ASPCA foundation is a foundation that supports the animals they promise to protect. God bless you. For those morons out there who get a kick out of abusing animals, look out, they are coming for you and you will get exactly what you deserve. Karma is a bitch.
Jail is too good for these awful so called people...somehow, someway these 2 footed animals need to suffer for what they have done to these helpless dogs. You folks at ASPCA are the best! My hat goes off to you.
I look at these dogs, and I've rescued a few myself. It doesn't go away. We are looking at an influx of foreign nationals whose culture permits cock and dog fighting. Bingo! No one has thought of that.
I applaud all the work you do and especially sharing with the public your videos to bring attention to your heroic work.
My question here today is this: "PIT BULLS" are targeted by law enforcement all over this country and the movement is spreading all over the world. In dynamic entries at wrong addresses, on the street, in their own yards, with their owners, getting lost - often law enforcement is called and they are shot on the spot.
What do we do about these outlaw law enforcement agents who will lie to save their jobs by saying "the dog growled", the dog was acting "aggressively", the dog "charged" me. There was a recent case in a wrong address dynamic entry where a pit bull, a veteran's companion/service dog was tied to a table leg, and shot on the spot.
If you make yourself a Google search on cop shoots dog, police kill family pet, you will be horrified.
The victims are usually pit bulls or crosses, but there are stories and videos of horrendous overreach by law enforcement, including a lovely Rottweiler who was in her own yard, outside her own kennel.
The officer shot her doing nothing, left, returned, dragged her bleeding and lifeless body into the grass and hosed down the patio.
The neighbors caught it all on video.
Now what do we do about this?
Dear, dear Susie, Amen, Amen: i'm with you all the way on this. Thank you for speaking up for ASPCA!
Dear, dear Susie, Amen! Amen! I am with you all the way on this. Thank you!

With roots in France and our hearts in California, we've always been inspired to make sparkling wines that reflect California character yet remain true to the practices of méthode traditionnelle. We combine centuries-old sparkling winemaking practices with high-quality classic California fruit, and the result is the perfect glass of sparkling wine. As a pioneer of sparkling wines in Carneros, we built an expertise in the region that now includes still wines from our prized vineyards.
Sparkling Wines
From the vineyards to the glass we marry the best of French tradition with new world innovations to ensure the highest quality in the bottle. Our winemaking team showcases the rich fruit flavors of California's regional character by using centuries-old champagne methods and traditional grape varieties. The special art of skillfully assembling as many as 60 unique base wines from 25 vineyard sites allows us to create each sparkling wine cuvée. Regardless of the style, at their core Chandon sparkling wines reflect California's regional character yet remain true to the practices of méthode traditionelle.
Still Wines
The handcrafted varietal wines of Domaine Chandon pay homage to our unique understanding of traditional champagne varietals and the renowned Carneros appellation. Prior to the 2000 vintage only a small portion of our Chardonnay fruit was used to experiment with still wines. But we ultimately found these varietals were too good to keep to ourselves. We continue to make them in limited quantities, releasing a small amount to select wine shops and restaurants across the country.

Inspirational youngster gives hope for the future
Staff writer Melanie Addington says we need to take positives out of the recent story about 16-year-old Abby Sunderland's attempt to sail around the world rather than heap criticism on her and her parents. It's hope for the future that makes Sunderland's story one to read, Addington writes. (June 17, 2010, Page 4)

Bluegrass Series Kicks Off 2012 Season With Banjo Legend J.D. Crowe
7:49 AM Christian Lamitschka No comments
Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series Kicks Off
2012 Season With Banjo Legend J.D. Crowe
January 12, 2012 (Jonesborough, TN) — The Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series will officially kick off its second season of presenting the best in bluegrass concerts when it brings banjo legend J.D. Crowe to the Jonesborough Visitors Center on February 25th. Joining J.D. Crowe will be his band, the New South, singer/songwriter Brandon Rickman and South Carolina-based Cane Creek Bluegrass Band. Produced by Mountain Music Entertainment and nestled in Tennessee's oldest town, the Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series is looking forward to bringing another year of top-notch entertainment to the East Tennessee region.
Banjoist J.D. Crowe and his band, the New South are among the most influential bluegrass bands of the past three decades with a visionary sound that suggests both a rich past and a wide-open future. From 1975's classic J.D. Crowe and the New South (affectionately referred to by fans by its catalog number, 0044), to their latest project, Lefty's Old Guitar, bandleader/banjo player/guitarist/vocalist Crowe has led an array of brilliant musicians in a mission to continually reinvent and update bluegrass while simultaneously paying tribute to the legacy of tone, taste, and timing established by Crowe's musical idols. The lineups of the New South have continued to evolve and change from the release of 0044 onward. Many great musicians have passed through on their way to start their own bands including Jimmy Gaudreau, Richard Bennett, Don Rigsby, and Phil Leadbetter. Among the most notable alumni was the gifted, ill-fated vocalist Keith Whitley, who introduced a strong honky-tonk feeling to Crowe's music before going on to mainstream country stardom. Following the release of 1999's Come On Down to My World (Rounder), Crowe put together the strongest New South lineup since the days of Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice. Guitarist and vocalist Rickey Wasson brings a full, rich vocal sound to the band, along with his abilities as an MC and front man. On mandolin, tenor, and high-lead vocals is Dwight McCall, whose remarkable singing was featured on Come On Down to My World. Matt DeSpain joined the group in 2010 playing resonator guitar as well as contributing to the sound vocally. Also new in 2010 was the addition of Kyle Perkins on upright bass.
Singer-songwriter Brandon Rickman has created a definite buzz over the past several years in the bluegrass and country community with his distinctive vocals and songwriting talents. He currently tours as lead singer with the famed Lonesome River Band and performs solo dates as well. His first solo project Young Man, Old Soul came right on the heels of Lonesome River Band's #1 Bluegrass Unlimited album No Turning Back, and garnered rave reviews as one of the best singer-songwriter CDs of the year. South Carolina-based Cane Creek Bluegrass Band is comprised of five talented musicians in their own right who sing and play both classic bluegrass covers and original material from several of its members, achieving a haunting sound many bands would aspire to emulate while also presenting driving music that gets feet tapping.
The Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series is excited to be partnering this year with The Lyric Frizell Foundation, raising money for children's cancer research. The foundation was named for Lyric Alana Frizell who was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of leukemia at the age of 10 months. In addition, Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice are the new ambassadors of the Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series. Junior and his band will be making an appearance during the 2012 season and will also help spread the word about the concert series at their other shows across the country.
The Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series will kick off on on February 25th at 7:00pm at the Jonesborough Visitors Center located at 117 Boone Street, Jonesborough, Tennessee. Tickets are $20/ adults, $10/ETSU students with ID and children 12 and under and may be purchased at the door the night of the show, online at www.jonesboroughtn.org or by calling 866-401-4223. For more information on the Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass Series including a complete concert schedule, please visit www.Jonesboroughbluegrass.com.

A High Risk
There are still several more weeks left of winter. Some snow has fallen already and to be sure, more is yet to come. And while many Bismarck residents spend most of this season with a shovel attached to their arms scraping driveways and clearing sidewalks of snow, one North Dakota man has put away his shovel for good.
It was almost a year ago that 37-year-old Brian Carlson suffered a massive heart attack. Wanting to get out and ride his snowmobile in the newly fallen April snow, Brian began shoveling off the wet, heavy precipitation from his driveway.
"I came into the house and my arm just really hurt," remembers Brian. "My girlfriend was home and gave me some medicine, but I started getting sick. I really don't remember much after that."
Brian's girlfriend Ryan Leary had left the room to get a trashcan. When she returned to the living room, she was met with a ghastly sight.
"She said I was already grey and was stiff as a board," says Brian.
Ryan quickly called 911 and started CPR on Brian. It was this immediate response that gave Brian a fighting chance.
Quick response
Despite the snow, emergency medical services arrived at Brian's house within five minutes. The crews had to finish Brian's shoveling job before being able to get him out of the house on a stretcher. Even with the quick response, Brian was still not out of the woods.
"They had to shock my heart three times while I was in the ambulance," recalls Brian. "Then they had to do it twice more when I got to the hospital."
Arriving just 20 minutes after the call was placed, Brian entered Sanford Health Bismarck with the STEMI heart team ready and waiting for him. At this point Brian's heart wasn't beating and his blood pressure was very low.
"He was in cardiogenic shock," recalls Karthik Reddy, MD, cardiologist at Sanford Bismarck. "We had to shock his heart several times. His condition was very severe and life threatening."
Dr. Reddy and the heart team at Sanford Health Bismarck put Brian in a therapeutic hypothermic coma. This relaxed and oxygenated his body. Brian stayed in this medically induced coma for over 24 hours.
"They tell me I started opening my eyes," says Brian. "But I really don't remember any of that."
The heart's history
This wasn't Brian's first run-in with heart problems. Over five years ago, Brian suffered his first heart attack while driving to work in Mandan.
"My family has a history of heart problems," says Brian. "I'm the youngest and so far I am the only one to have a heart attack, but I knew all the symptoms."
After waiting by the side of the road for 15 minutes, Brian took himself to the hospital where doctors discovered that his arteries were partially blocked.
However this time around, Brian's main artery was 100 percent blocked. Doctors placed stints in the heart to allow blood to flow once more. It took the whole heart team working together to save Brian's life.
"There is a lot of teamwork here," says Dr. Reddy. "We have to all coordinate with one another, do what is necessary and do it very quickly in order to save lives."
After his bypass, Brian entered cardiac rehab where he began his recovery process.
"I did a lot of simple things," says Brian. "I started walking on the treadmill and doing just a few light exercises."
Knowing your limits
With two heart attacks before his 37th birthday, Brian knows how lucky he is to be alive.
"If I had been at the house alone or if it weren't for the rapid response of the heart team at Sanford, I know I wouldn't be here," remarks Brian.
Brian now keeps a close eye on his diet and finds the time to exercise to strengthen his heart. But one thing he won't be doing is picking up the shovel anytime soon.
"I know my limits," says Brian. "I let someone else shovel my driveway from now on."
But for those who are still clearing out their walks after a snowfall, Dr. Reddy has some advice for you. He recommends doing it in small batches while taking frequent breaks and stopping immediately if you begin to feel ill.
If you would like to meet with a member of the Sanford Bismarck heart team, please talk to your primary care physician. They will be able to refer you to a Sanford cardiologist or cardiology advanced practice provider. Call (701) 323-5202 or visit bismarck.sanfordhealth.org to learn more about Sanford Heart.

Pandoras Box Opened - Nominations Made
Greetings Big Brother Fans! Here is a quickie Friday update to let you know what's gone on today.
Yes, there was a Pandora's Box. The HGs were told to dress up for some reason and then the feeds cut to trivia. When they came back on we found out the following... If Rachel is telling the truth, she was presented a Pandora's Box and could see Tori Spelling in a video. She opened it (of course) and ended up being locked with Jesse from Big Brother 10 & 11 for some period of time while Tori Spelling hung out with the other HGs and they had a 'shopping spree' where they had 3 minutes to grab as many items of clothing as they could from some type of set up in the backyard. As far as I know Rachel didn't get any money but since she is the only one that knows for certain what went on we won't know until it is shown on TV (for example I don't think anyone but Kalia and Porsche knows Kalia got $5k with Porsche's Pandora's Box).
The other thing to happen today was nominations. In a SHOCKING move Rachel decided to nominate......... Porsche and Kalia. Ok it wasn't shocking at all. Rachel's target appears to be Kalia. Of course if either Porsche or Kalia win the POV tomorrow, Adam will have to go up in their place. If Adam wins it he probably will not use it because it would mean Rachel would have to put up Jordana and I just can't see him doing that.
What do ya think? Excited? Bored? Ready for the evictions already?
