5.0 out of 5 stars Music from the Olive Frontier
For this project Christina Pluhar and her group L'Arpeggiata explore music from the 'olive frontier', an area comprising a small part of France, Turkey and North Africa, as well as Jordan and Portugal (honorary members even though they have no actual Mediterranean coastline).

3.0 out of 5 stars No a patch on the earlier albums
This album was disappointing in comparison to all of the other Pluhar / L'Arpeggiata material, which I am literally ecstatic about. It could be the material, but the album lacks the depth and detail of the other albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music from the Olive Frontier,
JB (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
For this project Christina Pluhar and her group L'Arpeggiata explore music from the 'olive frontier', an area comprising a small part of France, Turkey and North Africa, as well as Jordan and Portugal (honorary members even though they have no actual Mediterranean coastline).
As with previous albums such as La Tarantella - Antidotum Tarantulae /Galeazzi � Beasley � L'Arpeggiata � Pluhar and All'Improvviso - Ciaccone, Bergamasche e un po' di Folie... /L'Arpeggiata � Pluhar, the instrumentation is slanted towards the ancient, even though the material may not necessarily be so. On this recording we have instruments as diverse as the baroque theorbo (played by Pluhar herself), the harpsichord and psaltery, as well as more exotic examples such as the saz and qanun from Turkey and the lavta from Greece.
Rising above the pulsating haze of the plucked instruments, the vocalists - from Portugal, Greece and Turkey - sing of the joys and despair of the human spirit and of love's lost hopes and dreams. Often referencing the profound mysteriousness of the great sea itself, these frequently overclouded texts shouldn't imply that the album is a depressing listen; it isn't, and when the sun breaks through it's dazzling, any black thoughts swept away in a festival of colour and celebration.
The recording was made in the Salle Byzantine, an opulent private theatre built in the nineteenth century by the Parisian Countess de Béhague, a friend of Rodin, Proust, Valéry and Sarah Bernhardt. This extraordinary hall saw performances of operas and concerts by Fauré, Wagner and Bizet in its time, but was closed in 1939 and has lain largely forgotten until very recently. You can get an idea of its splendour in the DVD which comes as part of the package.
If you've enjoyed other recordings by this band, or the forays into Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern territories by Jordi Savall, then this is a guaranteed winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mediterranean Magic,
I anticipated a good hour's listening when I ordered the CD, but this has knocked my socks off! Glorious vocals and superb musicianship throughout. Ms Pluhar has done it again in blending old and new together and L'Arpeggiata has another triumph under it's collective belt. The bonus DVD is a REAL bonus, too. Buy without hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sad sea and sublime love,
Jacques COULARDEAU "A soul doctor, so to say" (OLLIERGUES France) - See all my reviews
The idea of this CD is fascinating in many ways since it is centered on the Mediterranean Sea with the strange exception of Portugal which is not on that sea but can be included by extension of Spain to the whole Iberian Peninsula. It also concerns Turkey, Greece (a lot), southern Italy and some islands.
L'Arpeggiata that often works in baroque music is quite skilful at integrating more folkloric local instruments and thus to work on traditional music. This is not the first attempt they are doing. The most interesting element is the integration of three "voices" meaning singers coming from these musical traditions and not classified the way that is common in music and these three "voices" are associated to two sopranos that are coming from the classical music field. We can note this recording introduces Vincenzo Capezzuto as a voice who will be used in a later recording as an alto and will even have a duet with countertenor Philippe Jaroussky.
These singers, "voices" or sopranos, are absolutely superb in this traditional music. Misia from Portugal is of course excellent in the famous fado because of her whole career in Portugal dedicated to writing and singing fado, a music so traditional that when the Carnation Revolution took place in Lisbon, the Communists when they arrived back from exile wanted to ban it because of its popularity under the fascist dictatorship of Salazar. Some people never learn. Misia would be considered as mezzo-soprano, I guess.
Nuria Rial from Catalonia is a very good soprano and the music scene in Catalonia being very rich she has a lot of practice with all kinds of music, including traditional music. Same thing for Raquel Andueza who is from Spain. The choice of local sopranos makes their knowledge of Spanish and Catalonian more natural, hence more expressive because they know what license they can take with the sounds and the intonation quite naturally.
Katerina Papadopoulou is from Greece and she is perfect of course for the traditional music of Greece, and there are quite a few Greek songs. She would be considered as a voice close to a mezzo-soprano. On the other hand Vincenzo Capezzuto is from Italy and he is quite skilled with all songs in some Italian dialect, be it Neapolitan or some other dialect. His voice is difficult to classify. He is definitely a high-pitched voice, hence in the range of an alto or a countertenor. He sings solo only in two songs: "Pizzica di San Vito" and "Agapimu fidela protini." In the first song he is typically an alto, a high pitched voice but not too high though, rather in the range of a mezzo soprano, perfectly at ease with Katerina Papadopoulou with whom he sings three times. In the second song in which he sings alone he sings at a higher pitch at times with some kind of slightly aged boyish voice and he can then be compared to a countertenor in his range, but the expressivity is very fitting since that song is a boy speaking of his first love, hence he must be around 13 or 15.
Apart from these voices, and their songs, the CD has musicals tracks. Track 3 is a Greek traditional song. Track 5 is a Turkish composition from the 19th century. Track 10 is a Turkish improvisation with a qanun and a saz played by two Turkish musicians. Track 16 is an improvisation on music by Marcello Vitale from Naples with Marcello Vitale and two other musicians. These tracks have that other charm of being pure music because traditional singing is most of the time accompanied by music, or at least comes to some mental music.
But then the music and the songs are dedicated to the sea and to love. Most of the time, if not all the time they are sad because they speak of the sea and its dangers or the sea and the separation it brings for a while, maybe forever. And love is always a cruel and sad story even when that love is satisfied because it finds some sadness in the knowledge that it will not be forever. This sadness is a choice of Christina Pluhar who is the mastermind of this selection and production. And she is a very emotional person: she looks for the songs and music that bring up the most intense passions and emotions you can imagine within the range of the human mind, of the human soul.
The DVD gives you the real performance of the first four tracks, three songs and one instrumental. You have four of the singers and you will be able to see Vincenzo Capezzuto in his blood and suit and I must say his high pitched grown boyish voice is surprising when you can put it in his body. On the other hand Lisia could be said sublime in her "Sem saber" performance. She looks so inspired that she no longer is with us but she is flying over the studio and over us in some ominous tone, posture and stance. The DVD is a real supplement to our enjoyment of this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars from me...,
This review is from: Mediterraneo (MP3 Download)
This album is a joy, even if the subject matter of some of the songs is not... Sem Saber, for example, cannot be said to have the cheeriest of lyrics! But, like the album's namesake, the tide of music sweeps the listener along and the glorious vocals surge to wash away the cares of the world. Their best album since La Tarantella, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mediterraneo by L'Arpeggiata,
Another great recording by L'Arpeggiata. It bought some sorely missed sunshine into a very long winter! I can thoroughly recommend this recording to my friends and family!

4.0 out of 5 stars Christine Pluhar deserves a medal,
Bruce Adams (UK) - See all my reviews
I'm giving this 4 stars because 5 stars is a matter of objective taste. Christine Pluhar has ploughed through scores and scores of scores and each time she come up with something quite unique and rarely not interesting. This CD has with it a DVD with quite a representative number of songs. Christine Pluhar, as is usual with many of her albums, has invited guest performers.The songs come are Portuguese, Greek, Neapolitan, Turkish, Catalonian and Mallorcan - to name just a few song types and there is a distinct flavour to this CD which Christine Pluhar has recorded before but not exactly like this. If you're interested then sample the tunes on the Internet first.

Surrounded by stories
Writers see stories everywhere.
In a little boy in full pirate regalia standing under an oscillating front yard sprinkle.
In an overheard conversation at the grocery store. "It's not his baby. I don't care what she says!"
In a tattered "Missing Cat" flier fastened to a streetlight with pink duct tape.
These bits and pieces of everyday life call to us and beg us to fill in the blanks – to uncover the rest of the story.
One place in particular teams with tales – the Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake. Each year on Memorial Day weekend, after placing flowers at my father-in-law's grave, I wander among the headstones and wonder about the people buried here.
Harold Schoessler lies here. According to his gravestone, he was "Washington State's last horse soldier." Born in 1918 and died in 2013, I would have loved to hear his stories.
The marker of a World War II Army private reads, "I have ways to make you laugh Blackie." Full story. Cindy Hval, SR

Visitors Already Miss Coldwater Creek
The sun took the edge off the early spring chill as I enjoyed the view. Towering evergreens provided a picture-perfect frame for snow-capped Schweitzer Mountain. Sighing, I sat in a deck chair, cradling a cup of steaming coffee while gazing at the pristine beauty of Lake Pend Oreille. Derek settled into a chair next to me and grinned. "I'm glad we came back," he said. In March we spent our 28th anniversary at the same place we spent our 27th – Sandpoint. Friends recommended The Lodge at Sandpoint and we fell in love with the beautiful inn and its amazing amenities. Sandpoint has long been a favorite getaway for our family. When the boys were little, we took many picnic lunches to City Beach, and played in the sand and water until exhausted. But lately, Derek and I have discovered the joys of off-season grown-up time in the lakeside town/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: When did you last visit Sandpoint?
Cindy: 'Cos' Still Has It
My ribs hurt. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I gasped for breath. I was 5 years old and my brother David had just introduced me to Bill Cosby. He'd brought home the "Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow Right!" album, and we listened to it repeatedly that summer while David packed for college. In 1970, there was no comedy channel and no YouTube. We watched our comedy on one of four television channels or listened to our favorite comedian's albums. And Cosby became an instant family favorite. My siblings and I can still recite his Noah routine (How long can you tread water?) and his classic football pep talk. Forty-plus years later, I sat in the Beasley Coliseum at WSU and laughed until my sides ached. The roar of appreciative applause that filled the auditorium proved the Cos has still got it/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: Who is your favorite comedian? Why?
My happy place
The morning sun warms my legs as I write. A pair of white butterflies flit above the petunias, daisies and geraniums that overflow the planters. A slight breeze ruffles the pages of my book.
I'm in my happy place, otherwise known as the Great Gazebo.
Longtime readers might remember that while my husband and sons are ardent outdoorsmen, I'm mostly an indoor kind of gal. That changed this spring when we started planning for Zack's graduation party.
Our '70s era home had a rickety balcony attached to the back of the house. You couldn't really call it a deck. We've long talked about building a proper deck, and Zack's graduation gave Derek the deadline he needed.
While Derek hauled in wood and bags of concrete, I finished a significant magazine project. When the check arrived, I knew exactly what to buy – the Great Gazebo.
We'd seen this beauty at Costco and marveled at its size, attachable tile counters, planter racks and most of all, its sturdiness.
You see, we've had quite a succession of gazebos and awnings fly through our backyard over the years.
Yes. Fly. Read more. Cindy Hval, SR

Cindy: Little Ricky & Kids In The Hood
The June sun warmed my shoulders as I powered through the last leg of my 3-mile walk. Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright" filled my headphones as I mentally reworked an article due by the end of the day. A school bus stopped across the street. It pulled away to reveal one small boy standing by the curb. I smiled as I walked by. I saw his lips move and pulled the headphones from my ears. "Hey," he said. "I don't know where my house is!" I scanned the street. No adult sat waiting for him in a nearby car. No parent hustled down the road. He looked impossibly small and very alone. Crossing the street, I asked, "What's your name, sweetie?"/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: Do you interact with children in the neighborhood?
Front Porch: Blue again
My hubby and sons at Old Mission State Park. Zach obviously thinks he sees an eagle. Or something.
We got the blues again. All four of us.
Last year's pilgrimage to Wallace for the Historic Wallace Blues Festival was such a hit, our sons clamored to return again this year. Anytime a 13-year-old and an 18-year-old actually WANT to do something together is special.
Turns out we weren't the only ones to think the event was something special. The Inland Empire Blues Society voted it the Best Blues Event of 2012. Pretty remarkable for a first-time outing, put together in 90 days and hosted by a town of 784!
We found out how quickly the word had spread when I phoned the Wallace Inn in April to reserve our room. There was no room at the inn, though the Festival wasn't until July 12-14. The helpful woman at the desk referred me to a Kellogg hotel, adding, "A trolley will shuttle guests back and forth to Wallace."
Now, that's good planning. Cindy Hval, SR
Couple questions: Have you ever been to Old Mission State Park? And, what's the deal with Cda restaurants not opening 'til 4 on Sundays?
Front Porch: Little Things Shine Bright
Discouraged. Disheartened. Disappointed. Those three D's dogged me like an annoying kid brother tagging along, uninvited. It was one of those days. The kind that starts with an empty coffee pot because you overslept and everyone else didn't. The kind that continues with the first email you read being a resounding "no" to a request you thought reasonable. The kind of day where every train crossing you encounter actually features a train crossing and every light you approach turns red/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.
Question: How do you combat discouragement?
Front Porch: Tombstone Epitaphs
The sun warmed my shoulders and a breeze ruffled the flags that stretched out along the horizon. I laid the red, white and blue bouquet next to a pot of yellow roses, and Sam stuck a pinwheel into the ground that soon spun in a blur of colors as the wind reached it. Tombstones jutted in orderly rows like soldiers standing at attention. The Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake is a beautiful spot and my father-in-law's final resting place. For 18 years, my husband, sons and I have paid Memorial Day weekend visits to my father's grave at Fairmount Memorial Park. My father-in-law's death two years ago added this new destination to our pilgrimage of remembrance/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: What will your epitaph say?
Front Porch: 75 years of inspiration
They don't make anniversary cards for 75th anniversaries. At least they didn't have any at the stores I checked. After all, 72-day marriages like Kim Kardashian's are probably more common now than unions spanning seven decades.
On Saturday, my husband and I attended the 75th anniversary celebration of Warren and Betty Schott. I met the Schotts six years ago when I featured them in a Love Story. They were one of the first couples I wrote about for the ongoing series.
Ensconced in comfortable chairs at Harvard Park retirement community, Betty, 96, and Warren, 95, greeted their guests. When asked about the longevity of their marriage Betty quipped, "Well, we got married in a cemetery and honeymooned in Death Valley, so we got all that out of the way!" Read more. Cindy Hval, SR
What's the secret to a lasting marriage?
Front Porch: When The Nest Empties
One by one they arrived at two-year intervals. First Ethan, then Alex, then Zack. Each baby welcomed with joy until our home overflowed with boys. Three is plenty we said. Three is more than enough. Yet something seemed missing. We had room at the table and space in our hearts, and following a five-year gap, an unexpected blessing arrived – our fourth son, Sam. At last our family felt complete. The years sped by in a blur of busyness. At one time I had kids in elementary, middle and high schools. I lived in our minivan shuttling boys from here to there and back again. "Enjoy it while it lasts," seasoned parents advised. "One day they'll all be gone"/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.

Saturday's highlights
At It's a Soccer Life in Spokane Valley, the Spokane Shadow U13 team practices Monday. The soccer center has an enclosed turf field and a smaller futsal pitch. Weekdays at the center are usually filled with practices and weekends are packed with league play from morning until night. SR photo/Jesse Tinsley
It's a sunny if somewhat nippy Monday morning out there, so lets take a look at some highlights from Saturday's Valley Voice. Correspondent Jill Barville checked out a new indoor soccer facility in the Spokane Valley Industrial Park called It's A Soccer Life. The business opened in January and hosts games and practices for area teams.
The city of Spokane Valley got some input on the future of parks in the city during a public meeting last week looking for input on the city's proposed Parks and Recreation Master Plan. A recent survey showed that local residents are most interested in urban trails, splash pads, outdoor aquatic facilities and indoor recreation facilities.
Reporter Nicole Hensley has a story on the newest West Valley School District board member Adam Mortensen, a 1997 West Valley High School graduate. Richard Chan, husband of longtime Front Porch columnist Deborah Chan, has a column about how he has been dealing with his wife's cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The Spokane Valley City Council spent more than two hours talking about the future of trash in the city during their daylong winter retreat last week. They have teamed up with Spokane County to do a study on the costs of various disposal options in the future.
Front Porch: Embracing Pig Out
I'm not a crowd person. I've never done Bloomsday. I avoid the interstate fair, and I've attended Hoopfest only once – and that was just to support my son. But there is one highly peopled annual event I never miss. That's right. I'm a Pig Out in the Park participant. Or porker. Pig Out is a Labor Day weekend family tradition. A chance to savor strange and exotic foods like Sausage Jambalaya or Fried Pop Tarts, and hear great music from bands like The Yardbirds or Big Mumbo Blues Band. This year marked the event's 33rd anniversary. Despite complaints about its inelegant name, Pig Out in the Park remains one of Spokane's most popular festivals/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.

Question: Which Spokane events do you attend?
No floatie, no lake-y
Like many Spokane County residents, my summertime conversations are peppered with references to "the lake." I'm usually referring to Diamond Lake, where my brother-in-law owns a home.
I love being on the lake.
I adore looking at the lake.
I just don't like being in the lake.
My idea of swimming involves plenty of concrete, chlorine and NO fish or seaweed. My mother traces this aversion to when we lived on Guam. While my siblings enjoyed the white, sandy beaches, I refused to get off the blanket unless I was carried or wearing shoes. "It's dirty!" I insisted.
So recently, when our family packed to spend a week at Diamond Lake, one purchase was absolutely essential – I needed a new floatie
A few summers ago the boys had popped my beloved aqua floatie with its comfy cushion, cutout for leg-dangling and built-in beverage holder. Read more. Cindy Hval, SR
When you talk about "the lake," which lake are you referring to?
High Noon: A Pet's Birthday
February is a busy month at our house. In addition to Valentine's Day, we celebrate three family birthdays: Milo's, Thor's and mine. The less said about my 40-something-and-counting birthday, the better. But Milo's third birthday and Thor's first are truly reasons to celebrate. Pre-Milo, our family had been petless, unless you count goldfish. Alas, the boys and I had grown weary of watery funerals. When we adopted Milo, he was an 8-week-old fuzzy furball of need. He skittered around his metal cage at the pet store during pet adoption week like a kid in desperate need of Ritalin/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.
Question: Do you celebrate your pet's birthday?
Tweeter Atwitter Over Notoriety
When Spokesman-Review columnist/blogger Dave Oliveria started bugging me about Twitter, I scoffed at the notion that I needed any more social media in my life. Facebook already ate up too much of my time. Oliveria insisted that Twitter is far more valuable than Facebook when it comes to tracking and reporting breaking news. However, the only breaking news I usually cover is when I break a fingernail. Yet as more and more of my media friends started jumping on the Twitter-wagon, I wondered if I might be missing out/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.

Question: How long will you resist the Twitter bug.
Noon: Toast To All Things Scottish
Second grade at Jefferson Elementary, Mrs. Pendergast attempted to teach us about cultural heritage. She explained, "For example, my mother's family is from Germany and my father's family came from Ireland, so I'm half German and half Irish."Excitedly, kids raised their hands to share their family backgrounds. I pondered what I knew of my own history, and when Mrs. Pendergast called on me I was ready."I'm part German, part Scottish, and part Arkansas," I said.My classmates seemed impressed until Mrs. P. ruined everything by informing me that though my father was born there, Arkansas was a state, not a country, and therefore not culturally significant/Cindy Hval, Front Porch. More here.
Question: Do you know much about your cultural heritage?
Cindy: Riding In The Car With Boys
I could tell something was wrong the minute he got into the car. His face was flushed and his eyes bright with unshed tears.As I slowly navigated the school parking lot, an avalanche of words tumbled out. "Alex went to California for Christmas break," said Sam, 12. "And he's not coming back!"While I drove, Sam expressed his sadness at the sudden move of a boy who'd been his friend since preschool. "It was just supposed to be a visit," he said. "But now they are staying in California, and I didn't even get to say goodbye."By the time we reached home we'd decided he would write a letter to Alex to tell him how much he'd miss him. Sam said his teacher had his friend's new address/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: How many times did you have to say goodbye to school friends during your formative days, as a result of moves made by your parents?
Cindy: Hanging Onto Holiday Tradition
When Tevye and the cast belt out "Tradition" in "Fiddler on the Roof,' they're singing my song.I, especially, love the ritual, familiarity and comfort of holiday traditions. For me, it begins on the day after Thanksgiving. While many folks shop til they drop on Black Friday, I decorate til I drop.My sons unearth the red and green plastic tubs bulging with garlands, angels, Santas and candles, and lug them to the living room. Then I pop a Christmas CD in the stereo and spend the day awash in memories of Christmas past/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.

Cindy: Seasons, Lives Change Quickly
A northerly blast rattles the windows and threatens the few leaves still stubbornly clinging to our apple tree. The russet and amber brilliance of autumn is fading fast. Seasons change.I can't stop the days from growing darker any more than I can stop my children from growing up.Two weeks ago, my third born got his driver license. Zack flashed me a grin and two thumbs up as he walked into the waiting area at the Department of Licensing, after completing his drive. "Way to go!" I said, and gave him a high-five.I've learned the hard way not to jump up and give a new driver a hug and a kiss – in public, anyway/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: Do you fight change or embrace it, or something in between? Or What life/season changes have been hardest for you to adjust to?
Cindy: I ♥ My Bluetooth
I used to make fun of them. The people who walk through grocery stores, animatedly chatting with invisible friends. The folks at movie theaters with winking blue lights behind their ears. The self-important ones who cannot disconnect from their Bluetooth devices while dining out, visiting the library or exercising at the gym. And then I became one of them. When Washington made it illegal to talk on a cellphone while driving, I was forced to join the hands-free generation and buy a Bluetooth device. You see, I do a lot of driving and I make a lot of phone calls. With the amount of kid-hauling I do, I'd never be able to schedule interviews, make appointments or catch up with friends if I confined my talk time to my scarce stationary moments.

Knee knocking fun
I've always been a hands-on journalist, because I believe the best reporting comes from actively experiencing community life. I've sat on a $600 toilet, flown in a biplane and fired fancy handguns, all to accurately report a story. But Saturday, I took hands-on to a whole new level when I was invited to judge the Knobbly Knees and Bonny Knees contests at the Spokane Highland Games.
For more than 50 years, folks from around the region, and even the world, have gathered at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center to celebrate all things Scottish. The heavy athletics competition anchors the annual event. Kilt-clad contestants throw hammers and toss cabers among other traditional contests.
Pipe bands and highland dancers add musical flair, and savory haggis (sheep organs mixed with onion, oatmeal and suet) tempts brave-hearted foodies.
Organizers strive to keep the games fresh and exciting. Last year, they introduced the Pull for the Haggis, a tug of war between Irish and Scots. And this year, co-chairs Steven Schneider and Ruby Devine decided to launch a contest for fearless fellows with nice or knobbly knees.Cindy Hval, SR More here.

Cindy: Driver's Lesson For Mom, Son
He tossed his head and his shaggy blond bangs shrouded his blue eyes. "How's this?" he asked as he flashed an oversized grin. "The girls call this my Joker smile." I sighed and squirmed, trying to get comfortable on the beige plastic chair at the Department of Licensing. "I like it. It's cute," I replied to my son. "Gosh, Mom! It's supposed to be scary – horrifying, even!" Zachary and I were at the DOL to get his learner's permit. In a few months' time I'll have three children who are licensed to drive. Don't say I didn't warn you/Cindy Hval, Front Porch. SR. More here.

Angels I didn't hear
They arrived at 10:30 p.m., which is a bit late for guests. I opened the door and a gust of chill winter wind swept through the entryway. Somewhat self-consciously, I read a prepared speech: "Hello and welcome archangels to our home."
My husband shook his head and the cat slipped out through the partially opened door. After herding Milo back inside, I found myself at a loss. I've never spoken to one angel before, let alone hosted five of them.
A few weeks prior, I'd received a note from my friend Beth asking if I'd host five archangels for five days. In return the angels would grant me three wishes, one for the world, one for my family and one for myself. "So, are they breakable?" I asked, picturing the havoc my boys could wreak on porcelain or pottery figurines.
"No," she replied. More here. Cindy Hval, SR

Cindy: My Home's A Work In Progress
Our house is in a constant state of home improvement. It's a veritable ode to unfinished projects. I marvel when friends say they painted their living rooms or stained their decks over the weekend. "You mean it's done? Finished? Completed?" I ask. I painted my dining room last fall, but ran out of time, energy and impetus by the time I reached the kitchen. So half of the large room is Desert Sand and the other half is Aging Apricot. For 17 years we've lived in a 1978 split-level that needs more TLC than we can usually muster. Due to a limited budget, our handyman and home repair staff currently consists of my husband Derek/Cindy Hval, Washington Voices. More here.

Noon: Next Time, Mascara Runs Alone
A strange affliction seems to have overcome many of my
40-ish friends. It began with vague murmurs about cholesterol and too-snug
jeans. Soon, discussion became peppered with talk of morning walks and gym
memberships. And suddenly, marathons were being mentioned as casually as
lunch plans. Seemingly overnight, these folks took to wearing
expensive Saucony or Asics running shoes and talking about doing the "Peak
Performance in Portland" or the "Bellingham Bay." When they talk about
"Leavenworth Oktoberfest," they aren't talking about beer-drinking. Much. When a friend recently posted on her Facebook page, "Just

Cindy: On Being A Mom & Why
More than 20 years ago, for reasons now unclear, I decided to have a baby. Derek and I had been married three years, and I guess it seemed natural to want to expand our family. Of course, we could have bought a dog, but we didn't. Truthfully, I've always wanted to be a mom. As a child, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up my standard answer was, "Flight attendant, actress, librarian and mother"/Cindy Hval, Washington Voices. More here. Also by Cindy:

Front Porch: Mother of 4, Heel Thyself
They called to me. They twinkled at me from among sensible square-toed pumps and frivolous flip-flops trimmed with plastic daisies. They glittered. They sparkled. They shone. I didn't even intend to look at shoes as I scanned the racks at my favorite thrift store, but a shaft of sunlight lit up the golden shoes. If angel choirs approve of 4-inch stiletto heels made by Fredrick's of Hollywood, than those angels were singing hallelujah, as I reached for the shoes/Cindy Hval, Front Porch, Washington Voices.

High Noon: A Purr Never Hurt Anyone
Several years ago, local author Niki Anderson wrote a best-seller titled "What My Cat Has Taught Me About Life."

High Noon: Unlikely Friends
Some siblings look so much alike it's hard to tell them apart. Not my four sons. While there's a familial resemblance, they aren't mistaken for each other. Their temperaments and talents are equally dissimilar. But during a conversation with my youngest, I discovered that when comes to choosing friends, my children are very much alike.
One afternoon, Sam slumped into the car after school, his eyes brimming with tears. "Tough day?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Want to talk about it?"
"No," he said and looked out the window. A few minutes later he burst out, "Everyone's making fun of me because I hang out with Marcus. They say he's lame, and if I'm his friend, I'm lame, too!" Cindy Hval, SR Full story.
Did you ever have a friend others labled "lame" or "loser"? What did that friendship teach you?
A Baby Changes Everything
In the midst of unearthing Christmas decorations, I surveyed the downstairs family room. Actually, "wreck" room is a more apt description. Green and red bins burgeoning with tinsel and ornaments perched precariously on tabletops. Blue bins overflowing with winter garb towered with ominous instability in opposite corners. And stacks of paper on the floor revealed last year's resolution to stay current with filing has been a dismal failure.
Overwhelmed, I looked for a place to sit. And then I saw it – my rocking chair. Banished to the basement when my youngest grew too big to cuddle comfortably with me in its confines.
I removed the mountain of snow pants and ski gloves that had buried it and sat down and began to rock. As I swayed, I remembered the first time I saw this chair, on a Christmas morning 20 years ago. Cindy Hval, SR. More here.

Work hard, play hard is the motto I live by! Also, shit happens, so you've gotta live n' learn baby!
Some basics about me: I'm Indian, and I've lived all over -- Saudi Arabia, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and of course now the wonderful Lone Star State. I moved to Houston about a year ago to start my residency training and it's been a great year - crazy work hours but probably the most rewarding year of my life. I try to not let my career take over my life. I've still managed to have a ton of fun getting to know the city, meeting new people, and trying the endless number of delicious restaurants and trendy happy hours. I haven't spent much time dating and I figure this is a good way to find someone to experience the city with. I typically frequent local happy hours, go out dancing, and enjoy watching basketball and football (baseball--not so much). After living in Miami for 7 years of school, I've become an avid fan of the Heat and the Hurricanes! I was never a Dolphins fan, so I totally became a band-wagon Texans fan ;) My favorite place to be is outside, especially at the beach (the one thing I probably miss most about Miami!), playing volleyball or just soaking up some sun. As for what I'm looking for: I'd love a guy with whom the conversation flows effortlessly and someone who makes me feel comfortable around them. I'd like a laid-back guy who enjoys the simple things in life. Someone who is opinionated and can teach me a thing or two and who can challenge my feisty side ;) Someone who loves to eat as much as I do and also has an interest in being fit. Some qualities that are a must-have include: ambition, confidence, an avid sense of humor as well as an adventurous side. Also, a nice smile goes far in my books :)

Britney Spears and her boyfriend Jason Trawick are getting along so well, she's reportedly considering walking down the aisle again.
After her messy divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney wasn't sure if she would ever marry again, but apparently she's ready to give marriage another try.
"Britney and Jason have really hit it off," a source said. "Britney is saying how this is the first 'proper' relationship she has ever had. They actually talk about real stuff and he's genuinely interested in what she has to say.
"He's so sharp and intelligent and Britney feels their relationship is so much deeper than any one she has had before. She really feels like Jason is the kind of man who might tempt her to marry again."
And Britney isn't the only one who approves. Earlier this month her mother gushed about him and how "stable" he is--unlike well fed K-Fed. Her two boys even love him!
"Jason was great with the kids and you can tell Britney really trusts him," an eyewitness recently told Us Weekly magazine about their recent trip to Mexico.
"He would pick up Jayden if he wanted to be held, immediately calming the boy down." He is absolutely fantastic with the boys," added a Trawick pal.
"[Jason] seems ready to take on the responsibility of a single mom with two kids." How cute is that? He seems like a really great guy. And he was by Britney's side during her darkest times. But lets just hope she gets a better prenup this time around.

Andy Turner and Ed Handley have certainly paid their dues to the dance world. Firstly as two constituent parts of trail-blazing techno collective Black Dog and latterly under the Plaid handle, they have been turning out rarefied, superior examples of what Americans like to call Intelligent Dance Music for more than 25 years.
Yet the pair have been beating a tactical retreat from the dance floor for some time – their last album, 2011's Scintilli, boasted just one throbbing floor-filler in Unbank – and Reachy Prints, their bizarrely titled seventh offering, is a collection of nuanced and layered electronic-music compositions that appear to be programmed entirely for domestic, headphones consumption.
This is no hardship, as Plaid are more than capable of whisking willing listeners on a cosmic armchair trip. Hawkmoth is a wash of warm, analogue synths likely to trigger rave flashbacks; Slam hums, thrums and will put listeners of a certain age in mind of Jean-Michel Jarre; Tether teems with ominous soundscapes and decidedly cinematic menace.
This figures, as in recent years Turner and Handley have made the most of their proclivity for cinematic sounds and become increasingly involved in movie soundtracks. Why not? After all, if you no longer feel up to clubbing, you can always go to the pictures…

A comprehension golf scorecard consisting of ROWS (19) for entering par-relative scores with or without pencil and ROW (10) for entering traditional gross scores or par-relative scores with pencil. SCRIBE-IN AREAS (2B), (6B), (13A), (15A), (16B) and PUNCH-OUT AREAS (2A), (6A), (6B), and (16B) provide a means for entry of scoring and identification data via the use of a golf tee or any scribe device. Scorecard is formatted to provide said comprehensive data and scores for up to four players on one card that will fit into a golfer's shirt or pants pocket. Punch-out scores and data are formatted so that scorecard is capable of being scored by electronic scanning and recording device.
1. A golf-scoring card comprising:
(a) a planar member; and
(b) at least one scoring panel on said-planar member including an array of perforated holes for recording golf scores over a plurality of golf holes, said array including a series of perforated holes for each golf hole with each perforated hole in a series representing a different score so that a golf score is recorded by punching out a corresponding perforated hole in a respective series in said array; and
(c) one or more scribe-in areas covered with an etchable medium capable of being inscribed by a scribing instrument.
2. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 1 wherein the scribe-in areas include a first scoring area associated with a first group of golf holes and a second scoring area associated with a second group of golf holes.
3. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 2 wherein the scribe-in areas further include a third scoring area associated with both the first and second group of golf holes.
4. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 3 wherein the scribe-in areas further include a name area for recording the name of a golf player.
5. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 1 wherein said etachable medium is a thin scratch-off film.
6. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 1 wherein each scribe-in area includes a carbonless paper.
7. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 1 wherein each scribe-in area includes an indented hatch.
8. The golf-scoring apparatus of claim 1 wherein the planar member is divided into a plurality of panels including a first scoring panel having a first scoring array for a first group of golf holes, a second scoring panel having a second scoring array for a second group of golf holes, and a guard panel, wherein the panels are foldable along respective fold lines to position the guard panel between the first and second scoring panels so as to protect one scoring panel while a player marks the other scoring panel.
9. A golf-scoring apparatus comprising:
(a) a planar member having two scoring panels and a guard panel joined edge-to-edge with fold lines dividing adjacent panels;
(b) a first one of said scoring panels including an array of perforated holes for recording golf scores in a first group of golf holes, said panel including a series of perforated holes for each golf hole in said group with each holes in a series corresponding to a different score so that a golf score is recorded by punching out a corresponding hole in a respective series in said array;
(c) a second one of said scoring panels including an array of perforated holes for recording golf scores in a second group of golf holes, said array including a series of holes for each golf hole in said group with each hole in a series corresponding to a different score so that a golf score is recorded by punching out a corresponding hole in a respective series in said array; and
(d) wherein said guard panel is foldable to a position between said first and second panels to protect each of the scoring panels when the other scoring panel is being punched.
This invention relates to a score card, for the game of golf, providing a comprehensive scoring means allowing the golfer a choice of par-relative scoring or gross scoring (with or without pencil or pen).
In the game of golf, scores are commonly recorded on a score card with pen or pencil. Said scoring provides for the recording of the total number of strokes played per hole and totals played for the total course (usually 18 holes). This scoring method is referred to as gross scoring. Prior art has recognized that keeping an operative pen or pencil during the course of a golf game is often troublesome and very inconvenient if the pen or pencil is lost or broken during the game. U.S. Pat. No. 4,745,875 (May 1988, Timleck) refers to this common problem. Timleck states in his "Purpose of the Invention": "It is an object of the present invention to provide a golfing scores recording device which is operative with the use of a common tee". Timleck's purpose, however, is not fully met because the only data recordable by the use of the tee is singular score punches made by the tee. The player's name, date, and gross score totals are not recordable by the use of Timleck's invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,224,452 (May 1917, Eaton) also addresses the aforementioned pencil loss problem with a pencil-less golf scorecard. Eaton's scorecard does provide for the recording of gross scores totals; however, Eaton's card does not provide for the pencil-less recording of pertinent data such as name and date.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,068,972 (January 1978, Stuart) scorecard uses a peg in a hole method. Neither Timleck's nor Stuart's scorecard can accommodate more than one player without using more than one card. Most public and private courses highly encourage playing in groups of four (foursome) to speed up play. Some courses require foursomes.
All said cards provide only for gross scoring data and do not provide a scoring means for more efficient par-relative data. Par-relative scoring refers to the total number of strokes in relation to par. Par refers to the number of strokes established as representative of an expert's score. A gross score of 5 on a par 4 hole is scored as a +1 (one over par) with par-relative scoring.
Most golfers think, calculate, and communicate golf scores in relation to par (i.e. par-relative). Most golf scoring jargon is in par-relative terms such as birdie (-1), eagle (-2), bogie (+1), and scratch (par). These par-relative idioms are more efficiently informative than gross scores since they relay a degree of proficiency without additional data. Also, golf handicaps are calculated in par-relative terms.
Both gross scoring and par-relative scoring methodology have their appropriate usages in golf. Golfers typically utilize both methods, Par-relative scores are used almost exclusively when communicating a score during a game. Either gross score or par-relative scores are used when communicating a completed game score. Some reasons that gross scores are not used exclusively by golfers are; 1. Gross scores are meaningless unless combined with additional information (for example, a gross score of 36 is relevant only if one knows the total par rating for the number of holes played), and; 2. Gross scores are harder to calculate. Par-relative scores are also easier addends and/or subtrahends to subtrahends to calculate than the gross score method of adding a series of larger numbers.
A golfer that plays a round of near par golf effectively has minimal mathematical computation if computing in the par-relative mode. For example, referring to the golf course represented in FIG. 1, if said golfer scores a round of fifteen pars on holes 1-15 and three bogies on holes 16-18, said golfer's par-relative score is easily calculated as 3 over par by simply ignoring the pars and adding the three bogies (1+1+1=3). Said, par-relative score is also easily converted to gross score by adding the 3 to the designated total par for the course, 72, giving a gross total score of 75. Whereas, if said golfer computed said score with solely gross score methodology, the computation would be a tediously long, addition problem (4+3+4+4+4+3+5+5+4+4+3+4+4+4+3+6+6+5=75). Whereas said calculation is certainly not complicated, it is most assuredly tedious. Prior art golf score cards are designed for exclusively gross scoring, thus requiring the above tedious computations.
(Note: Hereafter, for ease of reading, all references to golfer(s) will be in the singular and all personal pronouns will be masculine.)
Neither Timleck, Stuart, nor Eaton provide for a score higher than 10 on any hole. Since all three said cards require one space for each score to be represented for each hole, a hypothetical maximum score of 10 is represented so that the card dimensions do not get too large. Although 10 is a reasonable maximum gross score, it is not uncommon for a golfer to score higher than 10.
It is a principle object of the present invention to provide a simple, inexpensive, golf scoring card that does not require the use of pen or pencil and provides for the recording of all necessary data required by golf tournaments, clubs, or associations.
It is an object of this invention to provide a comprehensive golf scorecard having a means for a golfer to record golf scores by either par-relative method, gross method, or a combination thereof.
It is an object of this invention to provide said comprehensive scorecard in a format that will accommodate up to four persons on a singular or singular folded card that easily fits into the golfer's shirt or pants pocket.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide for the entry of par-relative scores ranging from a hole in one to 10 over par on each hole, for each golfer. Said range is the equivalent to gross scores of 1-13 (on par 3 holes); 1-14 (on par 4 holes) and; 1-15 (on par 5 holes).
It is an additional object of this invention to provide a simplified, graphical lay-out that is easy to use, by a golfer, with average eyesight and dexterity.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide an optional punch-out or mark-out format so that the card is capable of being read by an electronic scanning device.
Further objects of this invention will become apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.
Other objects of this invention will appear in the following description and appended claims, with reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the different drawings.
"FIG. 1" is a front elevation of a golf scorecard illustrating the present invention.
"FIG. 1A--PENCIL-LESS, PAR-RELATIVE SCORING" is a front elevation of said golf scorecard with hypothetical sample data and scores entered (scribed and punched), illustrating a hypothetical game of golf by four golfers utilizing the pencil-less, par-relative method.
"FIG. 1B--PENCILED, GROSS SCORING" is a front elevation of said golf scorecard with sample data and scores entered (written with pencil), illustrating the same hypothetical game of golf as in FIG. 1A except the golfers pencil their scores using the traditional gross score method.
"FIG. 1C--PENCILED, PAR-RELATIVE SCORING" is a front elevation of said golf scorecard with sample data and scores entered with pencil, illustrating the same hypothetical game of golf as in FIG. 1A except the golfers pencil their scores using par-relative scores.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the format of the score card. Said card may be made of card-paper or other sheet material capable of being perforated. Referring to FIG. 1A, a PUNCTURE-SHIELD (20); when folded between the other two folds protects the bottom fold from punches made on top fold. Folds are made at the TRI-FOLD CREASE (12). Also, SHIELD (20) adds to the rigidity of the scorecard, providing a foundation on which to write, scribe, or punch, facilitating the scoring of said scorecard.
In FIG. 1A, the uppermost row is for identification of the particular golf course being played. At the right end of said row is a GOLF COURSE I.D. # [PUNCH-OUT] (6B), showing, for example, an I.D. #8766. Centered on said row is an area for the GOLF COURSE NAME (6), showing, for example, "VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB". At the left end of said row is a DATE [PUNCH-OUT] (6A), showing, for example, Oct. 15, 1992. All areas of card that have small CIRCULAR INDENTIONS (11) will represent PUNCH-OUT areas. INDENTIONS (11) are referenced to the left with numerals representative of the numerical data to be recorded by punching out or marking out said representative indention. INDENTIONS (11) have a diameter of approximately 1.58 mm (1/16") and are designed so that said indentions can be perforated (punched out) with an ordinary golf tee or any scribe device. A PERFORATED INDENTION (11A) is shown.
Immediately under uppermost row; a HOLE NUMBER ROW (8) provides a row for headings for 18 vertical HOLE NUMBER COLUMN(S) (9), designated to identify vertical columns representing the first nine holes and the second nine holes of golf course. Rows and columns are arranged orthogonally. Under each COLUMN(S) (9) is representative HOLE YARDAGE (9A) and subscripted under YARDAGE (9A) is representative HOLE PAR (9B). There are three sets of HOLE YARDAGE (9A) and HOLE PAR (9B); each set is referenced horizontally to the left with the row title of "BLUE TEES", "WHITE TEES", and "RED TEES". Tee is defined as the area in which a golfer must strike his first stroke on each hole. Blue tees are usually placed furthermost from the hole, representing the longest yardage for each hole (usually played by the championship caliber players). White tees are usually placed in a position representing the second longest yardage for each hole (usually played by non-championship caliber males). Red tees are placed in a position representing the shortest yardage (usually played by the female golfers).
Representative yardage totals for the front-nine holes are orthogonally arranged in the respective rows, entitled "BLUE TEES", "WHITE TEES", and "RED TEES", in a FRONT-NINE GROSS TOTALS COLUMN (13). Additionally, there are yardage totals on said rows in a BACK-NINE GROSS TOTALS COLUMN (15), and in a COURSE GROSS TOTALS COLUMN (16) at the extreme right.
Still referring to FIG. 1A, PLAYER #1 DATA AREA (2) includes an area for a PLAYER #1 I.D. # (PUNCH-OUT) (2A) that provides a data entry means for player #1 to punch out or mark out up to a four digit I.D. code number (for example, I.D. #9875 is entered for Arnie). Data entry into I.D. # punch-out areas is required if scorecard is to be read and recorded by an electronic scanning device. Player #1 may scribe his name onto PLAYER #1 NAME (SCRIBE-IN) (2B) with a tee, pencil, or any scribe device. (SCRIBE-IN) (2B) and other areas FRONT-NINE TOTAL [SCRIBE-IN] (13A), BACK-NINE TOTAL [SCRIBE-IN] (15A), and COURSE TOTAL [SCRIBE-IN] (16B) are SCRIBE-IN areas. Said SCRIBE-IN areas are constructed in a manner, so that applied pressure from any sharp scribe object (including a golf tee) will leave a readable imprint. There are several preferred embodiments for said SCRIBE-IN areas; not limiting to, but as follows: 1. a carbonless paper; 2. a scratch off topping similar to scratch and win coupons; 3. an indented hatch inscribed into paper or card material allowing for a visible scribed indention to be made with a common tee or any sharp object. Said hatch works similar to carpet nap changing shades of color depending on which way the nap is rubbed.
Up to three additional golfers can enter their respective names and data into sections PLAYER #2 DATA AREA (3), PLAYER #3 DATA AREA (4), and PLAYER #4 DATA AREA (5). To simplify description of said golf card, AREA (3), (4), and (5) are identical layouts as AREA (2); further description of scorecard will be limited to AREA (2), with implied duplicity and applicability to AREAS (3), (4), and (5).
In AREA (2), there are seven PAR-RELATIVE SCORE ROWS (19) representing seven par-relative scores ranging from 2 under par (-2) to 4 over par (+4). After completion of each golf hole, the player enters his score at the intersection of the appropriate COLUMN(S) (9) and the appropriate ROWS (19). The golfer records his par-relative score by perforating or marking out the appropriate CIRCULAR INDENTIONS (11). To assist golfers in quick identification of the appropriate ROW (19), a PAR REFERENCE ROW (19A), representing a score of par, is highlighted by color, fill or hatch pattern, shade differential, or bold borders and is further indexed laterally by the letter "P". ROW (19A) is the horizontal row on which to enter a score of par. ROW (19), immediately above ROW (19A), is for entering scores of one over par and indexed to the left with +1. The second row above said ROW (19A) is for two over par (+2), and so on, up to four over par (+4). Rows under ROW (19A) are for under par scores. Cumulative punches may be made to enter scores higher than four over par (+4), and for scores lower than two under par (-2). Corrections in erroneously punched scores can be made by appropriate, cumulative punches. For example, an erroneously punched +2 can be cancelled by punching a -2.
At the completion of each nine holes of golf, the player calculates his total, gross score by adding his cumulative, par-relative scores to the appropriate PAR (9B) total in COLUMN (13) and COLUMN (15). Then the player records his total gross score by inscribing, in the appropriate areas, as follows: Front-nine-total score is inscribed in [SCRIBE-IN] (13A), back-nine-total score is inscribed in [SCRIBE-IN] (15A), and course-total score is inscribed in [SCRIBE-IN] (16b). Optionally, player can punch out or mark out matching score in area COURSE GROSS-TOTAL [PUNCH-OUT](16A). A PENCIL ENTRY ROW (10) is for the golfer who prefer to enter either gross scores or par-relative scores with a pen or pencil. The smaller filleted-rectangular boxes in ROW (10) aligned orthogonally under individual hole COLUMN(S) (9) provide for individual hole scores. The two larger, filleted-rectangular boxes, in ROW (10), are aligned orthogonally under COLUMN(S) (13) and (15), for respective nine-hole gross totals. SCRIBE-IN (16B), although designed for pencil-less scribing, is also suitable for penciling course total.
FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1C represent a hypothetical game of golf. The purpose of drawings FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1C is to provide a comparison of three different scoring methods. FIG. 1A represents said card scored by pencil-less par-relative methodology. Scores are punched and scribed. FIG. 1B represents said card scored by traditional, gross methodology with a pencil. FIG. 1C represents said card scored by par-relative methodology with the use of a pencil instead of a tee. Said hypothetical game represents a wide range of scoring combinations including a hole in one (Ben, Hole #18), a gross score of 14 (Sam, Hole #10), and other varied combinations that are used to help exemplify the utility, flexibility, and comprehensiveness of said scorecard.
Referring to FIG. 1A, Arnie's front-nine scores of nine consecutive pars can be recognized and scored at a glance with the visual aid of PAR REFERENCE ROW (19A). Par for the front-nine is 36 [intersection of "WHITE TEES" row and COLUMN (13)]. Therefore, Arnie's front-nine gross total score, 36, requires minimal calculation and is scribed into [SCRIBE-IN] (13A). Sam's front-nine scores can be tallied at a glance since four bogeys (4�1=+4) and four birdies (4�-1=-4) mathematically cancel each other out. Sam's Hole #1 score is a par (0), so his front-nine total-gross score is also quickly calculated at 36 (i.e., front-nine par total). Ben's nine consecutive birdies, on the front-nine holes, also can be quickly tallied; nine under par (-9) subtracted from 36 equals 27. Chichi's seven birdies (-7), a par (0), and a six over par (+6) is easily mentally tallied as follows: (-7)+(0)+(+6)=(-1)+(36)=35. On the ninth hole, the six over par (+6) is scored by cumulative entries (i.e. +1, +2, and +3 are all punched or marked) to enable scoring of a higher score than +4. On hole #8, ChiChi has also corrected an erroneously entered -1 by entering a + 1 and then punching the correct entry of par.
To further demonstrate comprehensiveness and flexibility of golf card; Ben scored a hole in one(-3 on a par 4 hole) on the 18th hole, (scored by cumulative punch-outs). Also, Sam's 10th hole score of +10 is scored by cumulative punch-outs of +1, +2, +3, and +4. This par-relative score of +10 is the equivalent to a gross score of 14, the highest score that can be recorded (via punch-outs) on a par 4 hole. Unlikely higher scores would have to be recorded on ROW (10) with a pencil.
Combinations of methodology are workable. For example, a golfer choosing the traditional gross method (with pencil) can switch to the pencil-less, par-relative, method if he loses his pencil during a game. Regardless of method or combinations of methods used, if player wants his score recorded by electronic scanning device, he punches or marks his I. D. # in area (2A) and course totals in the COURSE TOTAL SCORE (PUNCH-OUT) (16A). Said punched or marked-out course total (2A) matches the scribed-in total in (16B). For example, referring to FIG.1B, even though Arnie has kept his score by penciled, gross method, he can have his scorecard read and recorded by electronic scanning device because he has punched (or marked) out the minimum said data [(2A) and (16A)].

Celebrating Marvel's Mightiest Heroes
Now through August 23rd
The Avengers, created for Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appeared on newsstands in Avengers #1, cover-dated September, 1963. Given the preponderance of super-heroes in comic books since the 1960s, it's difficult to imagine that after World War II they had almost completely disappeared from comics. The late 1950s and early 1960s, a period now known as the Silver Age of Comics, saw a Renaissance of the genre. DC Comics had started the trend with the appearance of The Flash in 1957 and continued to build on this success. Marvel Comics soon followed with the introduction of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and a host of others.
DC had found success by combining all of their most popular superheroes into a single team book, The Justice League of America. Marvel saw the wisdom of this approach and The Avengers were born.
Tagged as "Earth's Mightiest Super-Heroes," the team was originally comprised of five of Marvel's most successful characters: The Invincible Iron Man, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp (who, in spite of their lack of adjectives were considered top tier superheroes at the time). After defeating the menace of Loki, the Norse god of evil and deceit, they realized that together they were able to combat threats none of them could face alone. And so the Avengers were formed.
But the membership would not remain stable. It became apparent very early that the Hulk was too volatile to be a team player. By issue #2 he was gone and for the next fifty years, except for rare appearances, was never really a member again.
The Hulk was quickly replaced. In Avengers #4 Captain America, a legendary hero long thought dead, was found in suspended animation in a glacier. Though not an original member the Living Legend of World War II quickly became the heart and soul of the team as well as their de facto leader.
In 2012 the Avengers movie took the core concept of the team and updated it for a new audience, introducing a small group of characters. In Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron new characters are being introduced, continuing to evolve as they have in the comics.

"The stylistic breadth of the contributors — mainstream comics stars, old-school underground artists, young experimentalists — suggests how deeply McCay's vision embedded itself in the entire medium."
The New York Times
The far-reaching influence and vision of legendary cartoonist Windsor McCay's most famous creation will be on display at a new exhibit at The ToonSeum, Pittsburgh's cartoon art museum. The exhibit, LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM, displays the original work by dozens of renowned contemporary artists interpreting McCay's fantastical comic strip masterpiece, which began running in the New York Herald in 1905.
In The Toonseum's exhibit, which presents original art from the recent award-winning Nemo anthology published by Philadelphia's Locust Moon Press and designed by Pittsburgh cartoonist Jim Rugg, many of the world's finest cartoonists pay tribute to McCay by creating 118 new strips, following their own voices down paths lit by the master. Contributors to the exhibit include Paul Pope, J.H. Williams III, Bill Sienkiewicz, David Mack, Carla Speed McNeil, Charles Vess, Peter Bagge, Dean Haspiel, Farel Dalrymple, Marc Hempel, Nate Powell, P. Craig Russell, Jeremy Baum, Jim Rugg, Ron Wimberly, Scott Morse, David Petersen, J.G. Jones, Mike Allred, Dean Motter, Yuko Shimizu, Roger Langridge, Craig Thompson, and Mark Buckingham and more.
Winsor McCay was perhaps the greatest cartoonist of all time, and the Sunday newspaper strip Little Nemo in Slumberland is his most enduring creation. Detailing the adventures of its titular character in The Land of Wonderful Dreams, the early twentieth century opus is one of the most inventive and visually stunning works of American art. A century later, the comic medium is still racing to keep up with the richness, draftsmanship, imagination, and wonder of McCay's fantastic storytelling and wild Slumberland universe.
The exhibition runs through June 28, 2015. The will be a joint opening party for the Avengers and the Little Nemo exhibit on Saturday, May 30th at 7:00 p.m.
