With speculation growing that Mitt Romney may name his vice presidential candidate this week — okay, it's unlikely, but he's got to distract from the Bain controversy somehow — it's time to take a look at who Romney could pick, and what they bring to the ticket, good or bad, from the perspective of the Romney campaign.
Candidates are listed in general order of likelihood they'll be picked, but of course, only Mitt Romney and his extensive network of rich donors knows for sure.
1. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio
Portman is in his first term as a Senator from Ohio, having won his seat in the 2010 GOP wave election. Previously, Portman served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush. He also served six terms in the House of Representatives.
Pro: Portman is on the list for the same reasons real estate is valuable: location, location, location. Portman hails from Ohio, which is a must-win state for Romney. Unfortunately, Barack Obama has built a steady lead there. If that lead holds, Romney can kiss the White House goodbye. While it's far from clear that Portman would actually help Romney win the state, the possibility makes him hard to pass up.
Portman also represents the kind of candidate Romney is said to favor — an "incredibly boring white guy," according to one GOP observer. Portman is incredibly boring, he's white, and he's a guy. He wouldn't be a "game-changer," à la Sarah Palin, but he would be a steady, boring, probably reasonably competent backup emergency president.
Finally, Portman is the son of an entrepreneur who built a mid-sized company; that would dove-tail nicely with Romney's emphasis on business.
Con: Three words: Bush's Budget Advisor. Portman was head of the Office of Management and Budget under George W. Bush, and is tied directly to a president who exploded the deficit. That makes it harder for Romney to hit Obama on debt. Moreover, the Republicans have spent most of the Obama Administration rebranding as the Tea Party, but Portman is a direct tie to the old guard. Finally, Portman is far from beloved by the right wing of the party.
Summary: Portman has some baggage from being a Bushie, but Ohio is definitely in play, and if Portman can move the needle a few points there, he'd be worth his weight in gold to Romney.
2. Former Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty
Pawlenty served as Governor of Minnesota from 2003 through 2011. Prior to that, he served in the Minnesota House of Representatives as House Majority Leader. He ran unsuccessfully for president this year.
Pro: Pawlenty, like Portman, is an incredibly boring white guy. Unlike Portman, however, he speaks fluent Tea Party. A member of an evangelical church, Pawlenty speaks the language of the GOP base in a way that Portman and Romney don't. Pawlenty is more conservative than he appears at first blush, so he can win the hearts of the base without scaring off moderates. He also is the son of a truck driver, his mom died when he was 16, and he rose from a modest, middle-class background to become governor. Romney could use someone on the ticket whose parents weren't cartoonishly rich.
Con: On August 1, 2007, the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring another 50. It did so three months after Pawlenty vetoed a transportation funding bill that would have increased gas taxes, and also increased road and bridge maintenance. Would it have prevented the collapse? Maybe not. But it was symbolic of the sort of penny-wise, pound-foolish approach of many conservatives with regard to infrastructure. Whether it's fair or not, you can expect the Obama campaign to run lots of images like these in its campaign ads.
One other big disadvantage: Minnesota is not a swing state. It's solid blue. Given Pawlenty's finish in the Iowa straw poll, it's doubtful that he would attract much support in Iowa or Wisconsin, either. He ticks a lot of boxes, but he doesn't help much to swing any particular state.
Summary: Pawlenty has some advantages over Portman, but he's not from a swing state. Like Portman, he wouldn't be a game-changer. He probably wouldn't be much of a negative, either.
3. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Ryan is the current chair of the House Budget Committee, and has served in the House for seven terms. He worked as a marketing consultant prior to entering politics.
Pro: Ryan, like Pawlenty, has a background that is at least recognizable to mere mortals. His father was a lawyer who died when Ryan was 16; he worked his way through college as a camp counselor and Oscar Meyer Weinermobile driver. He is loved by the right wing of the party, and has been dubbed "serious" by the Beltway cognoscenti. He's from Wisconsin, which is at least theoretically in play. Finally, Romney is said to personally like Ryan.
Con: Ryan is the author of a proposed budget that features draconian cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Democrats have already used Ryan in ads that show him throwing old people off cliffs. If he ends up on the ticket, expect things to get nasty, quick.
Romney has officially backed Ryan's budget, but has been vague on specifics so far, mainly because Ryan's budget touches as many third-rails as it can. So far, he hasn't been backed into the corner on that, but with Ryan on the ticket, Romney would own Medicare cuts, and that could be deadly.
Additionally, while he's got a high profile, Ryan is only a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. The last member of the House to appear on a major-party ticket was Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, D-N.Y., in 1984, and the last to appear on the GOP ticket was Rep. William E. Miller, D-N.Y., in 1964. One suspects that Romney hopes to do better than the Mondale and Goldwater campaigns did.
Summary: While he's loved on the right, Ryan is only a congressman, and a congressman with a history of proposing things most Americans oppose. Romney could still pick him, because he would provide a vital link to the party's right wing. But he would be risking a lot to do so.

Republican talking points remind way too much of the headlines contained in tabloids at the supermarket checkout.
Constantly Photoshop-ing reality, like the tabloid headlines of three headed love child's of inter-galactic aliens.
Be it when Mr. Romney was concurrently at Bain (to qualify for governor) and not at Bain (to distance himself from off-shoring) during the same span of time.
The recent textual Photoshop-ing of a POTUS stump speech simply to create a mis-directive talking point to get away from off-shoring.
The textual Photoshop-ing of the story about the DOE loans to Fisker
Just what the country needs is somebody who will as akin to the last round of camera shy Cheney and company spin yarns of WMD entering the white house on a campaign funded in part by disgraced foreign banking interests.
Oh crud Dr C, they wouldn't let me send you a star for your right on and Pogo Possum like funny post. You rock!
And another thing David, I don't like Obama appointing scumbag Wall Streeters like Bernanke, Summers and Geithner, but any Republican would have done the same, so while I may not like it, I'm pragmatic about it. And Obama is as well, he would have never have been able to get someone who could make a difference, like Paul Krugman, confirmed.
Every problem we have economically is directly on the hands of the right. from Reagan's idiocy of trickle down and tax cuts for the wealthy paid for by the poor and middle class to his and Dumbya's spending like a drunken sailor.
Oh David, David, David....every time you post you prove your ignorancer. Obama has increased spending less than any president since Carter. His firat year had a 1.5 trillion deficit, but that was Bush's budget. His budget deficits included 2 trillion that was already spent on the wars but which Bush kept off budget. When you spew wingnut talking points, you prove my point that you have no idea what you're talking about, since no right winger EVER tells the truth and if you're so dumb you buy into those points, you should just shut the eff up because you have nothing worth saying.
Obama's biggest failure is that he considered Republicans to be loyal Americans, but there's no way that they are. Every last one of them is corrupt to the core. as are some Democrats. The difference is that most Democrats are working to improve the country and every Republican is working to destroy democracy.
Obama's qualifications to be president? 3 1/2 years experience.
And the rest of your post David, was a big ol Beck fib.
David N.......qualifications.... Hmmmmm Bush 43 an alcoholic, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.......an aging movie star........A few presidents past experience.........I think both Romney and President Obama are very intelligent men with polar opposite ideals......Stick with the one you have.....he has personality and a heart closer to the people
Emergency presidential hologram: "Please state the nature of your executive emergency"
The people: "All our jobs have been off shored and nobodies left to fund the government"
Emergency presidential hologram: "Might I recommend a tax cut."
The people: "All our jobs have been off shored and nobodies left to fund the government"
Emergency presidential hologram: "Might I recommend a war with another country."
(sounds of smashing electronics)
Robert K., I said that both Romney and Obama are both not qualified to be President. I would like to see your list of qualifications you think Obama has, since you seem to be promoting him. As I recall, he was a community organizer with no solid leadership experience and who never met a payroll ...and who has generally failed in everything except to drive us deeper and deeper into debt. I will admit, however, that Obama an excellent "street fighter," skilled in deceit, deception, dishonesty, and distraction (based on the communist "big lie" tactic). Your "blasting" me does not change any of the facts. I see you may not really like the idea of Obama killing innocent people using drone attacks. Thus, you seem to have some idea of what is right and what is wrong ... so I suggest you take another look at Obama.
I've said it before, but obviously it needs constant repitition to sink in to the underworked brains of some here:
The ONLY 5 reasons for voting Republican are:
There is no other reason to do so.
David N, if you think any Republican is better qualified than Obama you need to get back on your meds ASAP. I don't like the idea of the drones, but they're 1000 times better than invasion and create thousands of times less innocent casualties. Obama's biggest errors are all based on the same factor, believing that Republicans love their country. All they care about is money and power, and if you don't get that then you're dumber than a box of rocks. Probably iron pyrites. 8^) The Republican party is the very essence of fool's gold.

Quoting here from a proximate thread (because it concerns old NP):NP 375s keep very well in my experience (that's how I've normally bought it to have on hand). And again, dry French vermouth is handy as an herbed wine in old-fashioned cooking (like, chicken with a wine-cream sauce, pearl onions, mushrooms, serve over rice; or cold chaud-froid sauces). It was often specified in recipes, through about the 1960s.
I've taken to stocking up on old formula Noilly Prat in 375s. I know it won't keep forever ... I've developed quite an affinity for a splash of it on the rocks with a twist, as well as vermouth heavy cocktails like the Bamboo.
Being old enough to remember the 1960s somewhat, I remember Vermouth was commonly ordered in US restaurants as an apéritif, then and somewhet later, compared to today. General US public also drank cocktails much more than wine then, which gradually shifted. Like cocktails, Vermouth seems to've been reborn.
I'm sure it'll be fine in the medium term, but I don't think I'll really want to explore what happens to Noilly Prat with ten years of bottle age.
i bought a couple bottles of cinzano reserva dry last year and though there is no references to them on the web, i think i've dated them to the mid nineties from a strange PR claiming an attempt to re-energize the category with the product in the canadian market.
i'd drank all but one. mainly unmixed. at ten plus years the wine is frail but not dead. there isn't much sugar to give it longevity which is probably more important than alcohol but who knows...
but similarly i've been drinking Pineau Brillet, pineau des charentes and it has a reputation for aging a bit, but floc de gascogne with a really similar alcohol, acid, sugar structure needs to be drank within a year. the floc even has a tiny born on date. i just bought one with out looking at the date and at three years old it tastes really frail if not dead. there is absolutely no fruit in the aroma as opposed to the killer apple-y Brillet. makes me wonder how my bottles of 2004 jean de lillet is doing...

Smoked Turkey
Prep Time:
20 minutes
Cook Time:
420 minutes
Difficulty Rating:
1 fresh or frozen thawed turkey 12-16 lbs. (all giblets removed)
2 gallons(s) Water
2-3/4 cups(s) Traeger BBQ Rub
1-1/2 tablespoon(s) Minced Garlic
1/2 cup(s) Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoon(s) Canola Oil
Preperation Steps
The turkey should be completely thawed, and should not be a self-basting or Kosher turkey. Self-basting and Kosher turkeys have a salty stock added that will make your brined turkey too salty. Make sure you check the ingredients on the turkey before you decide to brine. A fresh, "natural" turkey (minimally processed) works best, but a completely thawed, previously frozen turkey will work fine too.
To make the brine, mix together the water, Traeger BBQ Rub, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and conola oil in a 5 gallon non-metal bucket.
Place turkey in bucket breast side down into brine. Make sure that turkey is completely submerged in liquid. Cover bucket and place in refrigerator overnight. Remove, rinse and pat dry. Rub oil over entire outside of turkey and place breast side up into disposable aluminum roasting pan.
Start Traeger grill on smoke and open lid until fire is established (about 5 minutes). Leave grill on Smoke and place turkey on the grill and smoke for 2 ½ to 3 hours.
Switch setting to medium (or 350 degrees for digital thermostat) for 3 ½ to 4 hours or until internal meat temperature reaches approximately 180 degrees. An external temperature probe comes in very handy to monitor the meat temperature.
Remove from grill and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Triple H takes the mic and says there's a lot of controversy in WWE right now that has people asking why. Like why would they strip Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Title? Triple H shows us the video of Dr. Joseph Maroon talking about Bryan not be able to compete this month. Triple H says they stripped Bryan because of the fans. He talks about the ladder match at Money In the Bank and we see the titles hanging above the ring. He talks about Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro and Randy Orton already being in the match. Triple H says history will be made and he guarantees a new champion will be crowned. He brings up more controversy that makes you ask why and shows us a clip of Seth Rollins turning on The Shield two weeks ago.
Triple H brings out Seth Rollins to the ring and calls him the future of WWE. Triple H asks Rollins how it felt turning on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Fans chant "you sold out" as Rollins takes the mic. Rollins says right before he swung at Reigns, a stillness, a clarity came over him. He then struck Reigns and looked over at Ambrose trying to grasp what was happening. The feeling he had after dropping Ambrose was incredible, a power he can't describe, nothing like he's ever felt. Nothing that Ambrose or Reigns will ever feel. He says they owe everything to him. Rollins rips the fans now, saying they won't ever reach their goals or accomplish anything because they don't have guts to do what he did. Rollins says Triple H does understand that power more than anybody. He says we're looking at the evolution of Seth Rollins. He calls Reigns and Ambrose dead weight. He did what he had to do - cut them loose. Fans chant boring at Rollins. He thanks Triple H for the opportunity and shakes his hand. Out comes Dolph Ziggler.
Ziggler calls Rollins a scumbag traitor. Ziggler goes on and says he's here to show the world how damn good he is at this. Ziggler says he's going to wipe the smug look off Rollins' face and cram the arrogance down his tiny giraffe neck. Ziggler says he's going to show the world what it's like to be a WWE Superstar and do it with out an egomaniac boss holding his hand.
- Still to come, Jimmy Uso vs. Luke Harper. We go to Network commercials.
Jimmy Uso vs. Luke Harper
Back from the break and out comes WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos. The Wyatt Family graphic flashes next, the light go off and when they come back, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are in the ring. They lock up and Harper takes Uso to the corner.
Harper works over Uso and stomps away on him. Uso turns it around with a splash on the bottom rope. Uso ducks a clothesline and splashes Harper. Harper sends Uso face first into the middle rope and chops him back down. More back and forth. Uso with a big shot off the top rope. Harper floors Uso with a big boot. Harper ends up dumped on the floor. Uso runs the ropes but runs into a big forearm when he tries to leap out. Harper comes in and misses a clothesline. Uso nails a superkick for the win.
Winner: Jimmy Uso
Rusev vs. Kofi Kingston
We come back from more Network commercials and out comes Kofi Kingston. Lana comes out and cuts another anti-American promo. A "USA" chant breaks out. Lana tells them to stop. She says they are all overweight and fat. She says she is what Russian women look like. She says American women aren't desired by their husbands, they want her but they cannot have her. She says Russian men are strong. She shows Russian President Vladimir Putin on the big screen. Rusev is out next.

We're having rib eye steaks for supper, and I like mine medium rare. How would you cook them to that without drying them out?
We're having rib eye steaks for supper, and I like mine medium rare. How would you cook them to that without drying them out?
Here's a good chart from Omaha Steaks:
I have a GF grill, and the steaks come out just the way I like them, using the chart times.
4 minutes a side – no more.
salt and pepper them before you cook them. Should be on medium high – check out the recipe book that came with the machine. rib eye steaks are hard to dry out. Does the George Foreman grill press them too much???? might be better frying the steak in a frying pan – a cast iron pan is best.
If it's an inch thick, I'd give it about 4 minutes.
Very difficult to do on a George Foreman grill.
It will dry out every meat. It is built for that purpose .
You can experiment however and check every 2 to 3 minutes for Donne's.
Good Luck
Please Rate
Let them come to room temperature first. Take the grill outside. Preheat the grill on its highest setting. Season the meat with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on both sides. Place on the grill close it. Don't mind the smoke. That's good. Cook for two minutes. Remove from the grill to a temporary plate. Let the grill heat up again. Put the meat back on for another two minutes, but at a 90 degree angle from the last time, to make a nice crosshatch pattern. Take a sharp thin boning knife, and stab a vertical slot right through the thickest part of the meat. Use a fork and the knife to look in the middle to see how done it is. Use a fork to jiggle the center of the meat from right to left. Cook for another minute if it isn't medium rare yet. Repeat until done. Then remember how the texture changes as the meat goes from raw, to rare, to medium rare, so you don't have to cut the meat to know how done it is. Meat can tell you exactly how done it is by pressing it with a fork, if you know what to look for. It's kinda like how the Dog Whisperer sees things that the dog is doing that the owners can't see. I'm the Steak Whisperer. My steaks are always trained to be calm and submissive to me.

Opening a new window on the way plants generate the oxygen we breathe, researchers used an X-ray laser at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to simultaneously look at the structure and chemical behavior of a natural catalyst involved in photosynthesis for the first time.
The work, made possible by the ultrafast, ultrabright X-ray pulses at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), is a breakthrough in studying atomic-scale transformations in photosynthesis and other biological and industrial processes that depend on catalysts, which efficiently speed up reactions. The research is detailed in a Feb. 14 paper in Science.
"All life that depends on oxygen is dependent on photosynthesis," said Junko Yano, a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory chemist and co-leader in the experiment. "If you can learn to do this as nature does it, you can apply the design principles to artificial systems, such as the creation of renewable energy sources. This is opening up the way to really learn a lot about changes going on in the catalytic cycle."
Catalysts are vital to many industrial processes, such as the production of fuels, food, pharmaceuticals and fertilizers, and represent a $12 billion-per-year market in the United States alone. Natural catalysts are also key to the chemistry of life; a major goal of X-ray science is to learn how they function in photosynthesis, which produces energy and oxygen from sunlight and water.
The LCLS experiment focused on Photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, algae and some microbes that carries out the oxygen-producing stage of photosynthesis. This four-step process takes place in a simple catalyst a cluster of calcium and manganese atoms. In each step, Photosystem II absorbs a photon of sunlight and releases a proton and an electron, which provide the energy to link two water molecules, break them apart and release an oxygen molecule.

Zec 2: 14-17 / Jdt 13: 18-19 / Lk 1: 26-38
Be not afraid! Fear not! Throughout scripture God assures us that we should not be afraid. Today's readings help us understand why.
In Zechariah, the Prophet promises that God has stirred from "His holy dwelling," and that God will be with us—not only to watch us and to keep us, but indeed to live in our midst.
The angel Gabriel proclaimed God's plan to Mary, reassuring her, calming her fears and declaring to her that "nothing will be impossible for God." What Gabriel told Mary could hardly be grasped by human understanding, but Mary trusted, drew on God's grace within, and overcame her fear, her bewilderment and her troubled mind. The Psalm speaks lyrically of Mary's courage and her "deed of hope" --her willingness to commit herself to a plan that she could not comprehend, a plan that would bring God to dwell among us.
Each day, as we face the unexpected, the unfathomable--those challenges in our homes, in our communities and across the globe that would crush our spirit and invite us to despair, we need only to remember that God is with us, "dwelling in our midst," a hand on our back. If we draw on God's grace, if we just have courage, if we seek genuine insight, and if we rely on the sustaining hope of God's promise, then we can commit our gifts to God's work here on Earth and we can face down even the very worst. We, too, can live God's promise through our own deeds of hope, for ourselves and for the world. "Be not afraid, only believe."

What a way to bring our 45 day Scottish leg to a close. It�??s fair to say we�??re leaving this bonnie land on a high note, after a tremendous 36 hours at Turnberry: the jewel in the crown of the gorgeous Ayrshire coast, and site of four Open Championships. Mike�??s already told you about yesterday�??s fun and games on the Kintyre course, a superb �??little brother�?� track. He�??ll also have mentioned that last night our accommodation options were slim pickings; that we were odds on to be kipping in The Tank. That was until Graeme Russell �?? chief, champ, boss, captain, skipper that he is; Macallan Whisky�??s ambassador to the US �?? played Fairy God Mother and spotted us a room at The Turnberry Hotel on his points! You wouldn�??t read about it. I�??ve already thanked Graeme privately (several times), but would like to do so publicly now too: as our caddy Ray at Cypress would say, �??you�??re the greatest.�?�
A momentary blip in the fairytale though: I awoke this morning with my first illness of the year (worry not, my friends �?? just a common cold). Standing outside in minus 6 degrees last night having a quick chat with Radio New Zealand I joked with the producer that I�??d catch a cold. Then I did just that. There�??s a lesson in there for all of us. Maybe even a couple.
But a mucus clogged sinus passage couldn�??t dampen my spirits when I opened the curtains to find that the bright sunshine we were treated to yesterday hadn�??t yet packed it in. That big ball of gas was out in spades. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss! With a spring in my step I hopped into the shower (read: emptied 6 pints of snot down the plug hole) and went in search of some appropriate golfing attire. Sadly my respectable golf breeks were in the car, so I was forced to don the Argyll Loudmouths (which I would inevitably get a hard time about in these parts). Sick and looking a tad stupid; but who gives two shakes when you�??re about to play one of the best courses in the world. On a bluebird Thursday morning, no less.
The commute from the Hotel carpark to the club carpark is a very short one. Roughly 36 seconds if you don�??t run into any traffic. Downhill too. Had we not been lazy Gen-Y�??rs we might�??ve even walked! (But that would�??ve left an unpalatable walk back up the hill �?? a solid justification to my mind). In any case we ran into our host �?? Alan Stevenson (whose father played in several Open Championships) �?? on the tarmac and were soon introduced to his pal John, host #2. John like me likes cardigans and is all the more a man for it. They�??re both locals and quality humans in their own right. Sharp banter exchanged between the two was evocative of the Laurel-&-Hardy-like Alan Melville & Mike Macdonald, our hosts at North Berwick & Gullane. I must confess I wondered whether we�??d be able to hold our own.
There was no mucking around with coffee or cocktails or kummel or anything of the like; straight to business. With an 0820 tee time we were ahead of the pack �?? alleviating any concerns of being held up behind a fourball of 29 handicap tourists (each lining up every putt as if it was for The Open, of course). PERFECT. Peter McCoy the Starter provided yardage books and light amusement, including a cracking story about Juan Quirros, whom his son had been caddying for recently on the Senior�??s Tour. Juan�??s apparently a hothead and on this occasion lost the plot. The nearest object towards which he could direct his anger was a sponsor�??s billboard. After chucking his club in disgust Juan gave it a good boot; only problem was a lassie was leaning over it at the time, munching on her lunch. In the melee the sandwich got splattered all over her face, poor thing. Juan either didn�??t notice or care to notice, so Peter�??s son went over to apologise on his behalf. As unfortunate as it would no doubt have been for the young woman, I can�??t help but think it would�??ve been hilarious to be a fly on the wall. Anyway. Turnberry.
The 1st hole plays parallel to the road, perpendicular with the view from the omnipresent Hotel above. �??Ailsa Craig�?� it�??s called, after the big (I can only assume volcanic) chunk of rock sticking up out of the deep blue Firth of Clyde. A dawdle at 354 yards you might think, but there are 9 bunkers �?? setting the tone for the morning. And the pin was at the front, which made it difficult to get near down wind. I tried not to smile when I saw my opponent�??s ball had come to rest deep in a divot in the middle of the fairway (one of the peril�??s of the heavy traffic the course gets over the summer). Whether I succeeded or not, who knows? You know what they say though: every golf shot makes someone happy. To Mick�??s credit he got it down there, there or thereabouts, and made a 4 which was good enough for the half.
Loved the name of the 2nd: �??Make Sure.�?� Make sure what?? The yardage book pearl of wisdom offered a clue: �??Poor shots will be punished with trouble lurking in almost every direction.�?� The Scots don�??t beat around the bush do they? It continued: �??Strategically placed fairway bunkers and a steep slope to the left of the fairway and green are just a few of the problems facing players. The green is deceptively long and will require careful club selection to avoid leaving a long, difficult putt.�?� Don�??t sugar coat it boys!
Those forking out 110 squid for a game would get their money�??s worth out of the dry humour of the yardage book alone. Rather than make the golf course look and sound easy �?? as is conventional in amateur golf and sports psychology generally, I imagine �?? they�??ve gone out of their way to do the opposite. The fairways on the pictures look like pieces of string. Thin ones at that. �??Woe-be-tide�?�, the 4th, is aptly described as �??a light hearted warning to be aware of the Firth of Clyde and other possible hazards on the left of the hole.�?� Ha. It�??s a glorious short hole in any case; the first of the Ailsa�??s coveted set. The contours of the green and the dune to the right of it encourage you to bring the ball in from right to left, especially given the aforementioned drop off to the left is severe. However. Y�??er man cut a nasty looking bunker into the front right of the mound upon which the green is perched. So you better dam well hit that draw out of the middle of the club (or end up in Purgatory as Michael did).
Speaking of y�??er man. Life would be much simpler if the Ailsa Course had been designed many moons ago and not been touched since. But that�??s not how things went friends. A brief history lesson:
In 1900 the Marquess of Ailsa (a keen golfer and former Captain at our beloved Prestwick) decided to build a course on his estate at Turnberry. So he commissioned Willie Fernie, the then pro at Royal Troon, to do the design. It opened in 1901, Turnberry GC subsequently forming the next year. Turnberry quickly became popular with the expansion of the railways and when word got around about the luxury of the Hotel. World War One then got in the way of everything as it had the tendency to do (the Hotel and courses being requisitioned as an officers�?? mess & airfield respectively). When Zee Germans surrendered James Braid did a redesign of the Arran Course, following which it overtook the Ailsa as the course of choice. So Cecil Hutchinson God Bless Him was brought in to do a re-design (hooray!). But wait for it: the course re-opened in 1938, just a year before Hitler went mental and declared war on The World. Again Turnberry was requisitioned (who would have guessed?), this time as for RAF Coastal Command. The final chapter? MacKenzie Ross was brought in to do a(nother) redesign, creating �??the masterpiece that exists today.�?�
Now where was I? The 5th (�??Fin me oot�?� - i.e. �??find me out�?� - i.e. find the putting surface or give up). One of the best par 4s of the year. Graeme had warned us about it last night and The Boy wasn�??t wrong. Take a breath and enjoy the moment sorta stuff. (In a cockney accent I ask of you) d�??ya know what I mean? Perfectly formed but no less nasty for it greenside pot bunkers await unsuspecting 2nd (or even 3rd) shots, as does a coffin bunker to the right of the green �?? which I carelessly allowed myself to get stuck behind. The real treat came when we stood on the next tee and looked back at what had just come before us. Check it.
Turnberry�??s the sort of place where you just look around in reverence and wonder how you managed to find yourself there despite your abundant lack of recent prayer (by recent I mean in the past decade). It�??s tempting to swear to impress upon you just how moved I was by its beauty, but that would betray a linguistic laziness on my behalf. How should I say...soul nourishingly stunning? Whatever. I�??ll let the photos do the talking.
What this photo of the 6th won�??t capture, however, is just how bloody difficult it was. �??Tappie Toorie�?� is all of 230 yards over a ravine to a raised green DEAD INTO THE WIND. Oh, and there�??s a bunker carved into the face of the sharp rise guarding the entrance to the green that would make Hell Bunker at St. Andrews look like a toddler�??s sand pit. Poor John had an intimate encounter with the (unnamed) hole of death (which I took it upon myself to decree as �??That Bastard Bunker On The 6th�?�); and the...bunker...won. Convincingly. I must�??ve been so pleased with myself at having killed a 3 wood onto the front edge that I lost the plot and 3 jacked from 40 feet straight up the hill to lose the hole. �??Oh dear�?� I exclaimed.
Between the dry wit inherent in the hole descriptions penned in my yardage book; the incrementally ascending difficulty of each hole; and the bitterly fresh wind that was growing in strength by the second, I was starting to see the funny side of all of this. A string of opening pars and I�??d had the naivety to at least consider that maybe Turnberry wasn�??t so hard after all. Then reality found me wherever I�??d been hiding as we stood on the 7th tee. Why? Because �??Roon the ben�??�?� is 500 yards of par 4 (stroke index 1 of course) into that dastardly wind. To a green that slopes hard from right to left and that�??s guarded by two little sods at the front right entrance. If you make a 4 in these conditions then you should give up as that�??s as good as your golf will EVER get. I guarantee you that. What fun though, pitting yourself against a Leviathan like the 7th.
At this point my good partner Alan and I found our way back to where we should have been: namely, with our noses in front. Just finding our stride we were. Just as we were getting within clear sight of That Lighthouse, the sight most people come here to see. Why lighthouses on golf courses are so intriguing I don�??t know. But they are. While at The National Golf Links of America I remember second guessing myself as to why there was any merit in taking so many snaps of that red and white construction on the hill. I did the same today. Why? The angles you take photos of holes or humans would have to be adjusted to as to incorporate the lighthouse in the background. For the avoidance of doubt that one was at Turnberry. Perhaps I�??m simple minded.
In Any Case. �??Goat Fell�?� the wonderfully named 8th hole is a mouth watering long-ish par 4 (432 yards for anyone who cares) that takes you right out near the rocks. From the green I gazed starry eyed at the beach below and the coastline stretching for miles behind it. And at the lighthouse ahead, of course. For goodness sake I�??m only human. Mick and I scuttled off with a couple of 4s pleased to find the next tee unscathed. Goat Fell by the way is the name of the tallest peak directly across the water on Arran. Why it was called Goat Fell I have no idea. Use y�??er imagination folks.
9 may have one of the most photographed (championship) tees in world golf. You march back down a rocky outcrop to a meticulously mown square of lawn which seems to float above the Firth of Clyde. On a day like today the scene is almost one you�??d find in those golf calendars of imaginary holes that you can�??t quite believe would exist. 360 degree views of splendour. Looking at the golf hole in front (we didn�??t play from the championship tees because 1. You�??re not allowed to; and 2. The wind was blowing and the hole was hard enough) you begin to understand why pros like Tiger Woods go off the rails. If I had to make a living teeing off across mischief like that I�??d be driven to abnormal behaviour I have no doubt. A cairn is optimistically placed in the middle of the fairway, giving the player an �??ideal�?� line over which to tonk the ball. I found the cairn to be as optimistic as goal setting during your early years of high school (�??When I grow up I want to: 1. Become a millionaire; 2. Find creative ways to spend my millions; 3. Marry a Victoria�??s Secret supermodel; 4. Play off scratch consistently and with consummate ease; 5. Become a respected and cherished member of the local community; and 6. Always remain in my mother�??s good books, etc etc).
In very un-Scots like fashion we paused for coffee after 9. By now the breeze was getting rather fresh, so the shelter of the half way house had a more settling effect than we might have thought. It�??s like a wee standalone conservatory, with 180 degree views of The Firth of Clyde and That Lighthouse. With a coffee in hand and a good bit of craic it�??s a tough spot to beat. Unpretentious but perfectly adequate.
Although our party could quite happily have camped out for a good hour or two, the aptly named 10th hole beckoned. �??Dinna fouter�?� translates to Don�??t Mess About. �??The Firth of Clyde awaits players who hit their tee shots too far left and, if that�??s not enough, EVEN MORE TROUBLE AWAITS PLAYERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY, in the shape of two pot bunkers and a further bunker on the right hand side of the fairway...�?� Over coffee I�??d forgotten entirely what entertainment might await me in my strokesaver readings on the back side. As it happened I didnae fouter, instead choosing to chip in from the deep stuff left of the green for my opening birdie of the day (one of two �?? both of which came from off the green!). The opposition were spewing. Good riddance.
The views back up to the 9th and beyond from the 10th, and along the 11th, are something rather special. The deep blue sea hypnotises you like the Pied Piper did to those rats. Contrast the fresh white paint of the lighthouse and you have a postcard scene and a half. The caption might read: �??Stay away from Scotland: all the trouble is in the middle of the fairway...�?�
13 is a glorious sweeping dogleg right with 3 left side fairway bunkers and a huge plateau green. With the wind hurling off the left; gorse along the right; and that trio of bunkers guarding the dogleg, it�??s an improbable proposition that you�??ll smash one down the middle. But you must. And don�??t be shy with your approach either, because that upslope rising up to the putting surface won�??t think twice about spitting your ball back down to the fairway below, leaving a tricky up and down. In all honesty I was just trying to get the ball near the hole but unfortunately it went in for a second lucky birdie in 4 holes. John by this stage was very animated, and even began to call me unkind names. Which I won�??t repeat.
On the 14th you�??re told to �??Risk-an-hope.�?� We all did just that and it didn�??t work for any of us. The pot bunkers on the �??Ca Canny�?� 15th �?? a par 3 playing short with the wind behind �?? were gruesome, particularly the one over the back. John as he was prone to doing picked another fight with one, and was again forced to accept Second Prize. Luckily he has a good sense of humour (although by this point it was no doubt running thin).
Many photos must�??ve been taken over the years of �??Wee Burn�?�, the 16th, particularly around the green complex. It�??s a gorgeous �??little hole�?� (at 455 yards...) that plays shorter than it sounds, but is no less difficult for it. Not a time to thin a 9 iron Jamie...into the burn... Michael hit a smashing drive down the right as he was instructed to, then made a very good par indeed after coming perilously close to finding a watery grave over the back right of the green. It�??s no �??Wee�?� burn let me tell you.
Perhaps the most evil little bunker we�??ve encountered all year is positioned sadistically just off the fairway �?? into the face of a rise �?? on the par 5 17th, �??Lang Whang.�?� When the wind�??s behind us as it was, assuming you get a decent drive away the little codger shouldn�??t come into play. It�??s 88 yards of the green, which you can hit with a driver and a 9 iron if you play your cards right. However. In less favourable conditions this thing could give you nightmares for life. I wouldn�??t wish an adventure in there on my worst enemy, unless he deserved it.
Many of you will remember The Duel in The Sun, the showdown between Watson and Nicklaus at the 1977 Open Championship at Turnberry. Well the 18th�??s name has since been changed in reverence to �??what is regarded by many as the finest Major Championship ever played.�?� A nice touch. By the time we were coming in it was becoming a Duel in The Wind, and a nailbiting one at that. After having been up for most of the match, Alan and I somehow found ourselves dormy 1 down after 17, courtesy of a characteristic Goldstein par 5 birdie. So we needed some magic. I�??d positioned myself menacingly just off the front edge with a Texas Wedge at the ready (angling for my 3rd off-the-surface birdie to pull equal). Goldy knocked it relatively close. And John appeared to be in no man�??s land way back left somewhere. Alan was gone. Then John much to my dismay pitched in, the rascal! After he�??d been giving me so much jip for it too... A lovely moment to finish a well fought battle. Credit where credit it due: the heathens combined well and probably deserved their victory in the end. There, I said it.
No sooner had we finished than we found ourselves in the bar with an American size bowl of chips in front of us. The clubhouse by now was buzzing as big groups were readying themselves for their day of reckoning. We inhaled the chips then realised it was time to get back up the hill to check out. And check out of Scotland altogether. Stranraer was our last port of call on what has been an incredible 45 days here in this bonnie land, my homeland. It�??s no St. Tropez, believe me, but it softens the blow by making the next destination �?? Belfast �?? all the more enticing.
Before I knew it we were out on deck on the Stena Line ferry, pulling into Belfast Lough. The old Harland & Wolf cranes �?? David & Goliath �?? looked to have had a paint job since I last saw them a decade ago. Sadly the ferry doesn�??t take you all the way past them anymore as it used to. Och it�??s still a lovely introduction to Nor�??n Ireland though, which�??ll be our adopted home for the next week. It�??s the land of my fathers too. Slainte.

Action Is Always The Best Option
I know when success is right around the corner. I've seen the shift in mindset from the people I consult. When they break through that final barrier, they stop being someone who simply studies how to become successful and starts creating success. What's that "magic" ingredient you ask? It's called Action. Sounds too simplistic I know. You may even think that you've... [Read more]

To Sell or Not to Sell
Most of the people whom I have coached within my Certified Innermetrix Consultant program have admitted to one HUGE problem that they have with being a coach, consultant or educator in their market; they hate to sell.

Negative Effects of Bad Management
Previously I've talked a lot about the negative effects of a workplace filled with outdated beliefs about how best to manage people.

There is a whole host of problems associated with such... [Read more]
The Myth of Strengths and Weaknesses
There exists a myth about strengths and weaknesses, one which states that we all naturally possess them. In reality, we don't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those that thinks it is too negative to tell someone they have a weakness and wants to call it "an opportunity for development".... [Read more]

Plymouth Township CO2 Release
EPA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic)
Montgomery County
6th Congressional District
Last Update: April 2000
Other Names
Current Site StatusNo cleanup action is planned at this time and EPA-funded cleanup would occur only if the assessment reveals a health threat meeting the CERCLA removal action criteria.
Site Description
The Plymouth Township CO2 Site resulted from a hazardous materials incident that occurred during Hurricane Floyd in September 1999. At the height of the storm, a child living in a Plymouth Township residential development lost consciousness while in the home's basement. A response by the local public utility and two local hazardous materials teams determined that an oxygen deficient atmosphere was present in the lower elevations of the basement; oxygen levels were at a life threatening level. Ventilation measures were initiated to allow for routine home occupancy.
Followup by several agencies, including EPA, determined that carbon dioxide (CO2) had collected in the confined air space of the basement sump drain (reason unknown) and had been released from the sump as a result of the significantly reduced atmospheric pressure during the storm. Apparently, the CO2 level was high enough to displace oxygen in the basement breathing space. No other substances of potential health concern were discovered. As a precautionary measure, the Montgomery County Health Department (MCHD) conducted indoor air monitoring of homes throughout the residential development and the adjacent development (approximately 200 homes in total). Elevated sump CO2 readings were found in approximately fifteen additional homes. Although continuous indoor air monitoring has been limited to a select number of homes, no CO2 levels of concern have been recorded in the basement breathing space air of any house except the residence where the initial incident took place (eventually, a ventilation mitigation system was installed at this house by the homeowner). The majority of the basements are used as recreational rooms.
Three public meetings have been held in Plymouth Township since the initial September 1999 incident.
- Site Responsibility
- This site is being investigated through EPA CERCLA Removal Program authorities.
- NPL Listing History
- Not a Superfund NPL or Removal Site.
Threats and ContaminantsEPA's sampling and monitoring work to date has determined that the presence of elevated readings of CO2 in the sump drains, with the threat of release to the breathing space air in the basement, is the primary concern at this site. Other CERCLA-regulated substances have not been detected at levels of health concern. The threat lies in the potential for CO2 to be released from the sump drains into basement breathing air at levels that might directly present a health concern or cause significant displacement of oxygen. It appears that this threat of release has the most likely chance of occuring during low atmospheric pressure events (i.e. heavy rainstorms).
Cleanup Progress
EPA's CERCLA Removal Program is currently conducting a Removal Assessment. Activities will include: 1) attempting to determine the source of the elevated CO2 (naturally occurring or "man-made"), 2) performing followup continuous monitoring in home basements with elevated CO2 in sump drains to determine if and under what conditions a significant release to breathing space air occurs, and 3) confirming the most effective mitigation method to prevent a significant release. The assessment will also address the possibility of the presence of other contaminants (although work to date suggests no other substances of concern are present). If EPA determines that another major CO2 release is unlikely and that the past release was confined to the intial incident, EPA's work will cease.
The investigation has wider implications in that CO2 and/or depressed oxygen levels reportedly were detected by private environmental professionals in the sump drains/basements of other homes in the Delaware Valley during Hurricane Floyd. Generally speaking, CO2 is not a substance targeted for indoor air monitoring during such events and few first responders or public utility personnel monitor for CO2. If the presence of CO2 in basement sumps is not a site-specific occurrence limited to the Plymouth CO2 Release Site, and it appears that this is a potential wider problem under specific weather conditions, our work may be of interest to public utlilty companies, the home building industry and Federal or State agencies who routinely conduct geological investigations.

It's official: Twins trade Jim Thome to Indians for player to be named
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Jim Thome is headed to Cleveland.
The Minnesota Twins announced on Thursday night they have traded the veteran slugger to the Indians for a player to be named later.
Thome, who turns 41 on Saturday, had to waive his no-trade clause to accept the deal.
By doing so, he reunited with the team that selected him in the 13th round of the 1989 entry draft. Thome played for the Indians from 1991 to 2002, collecting the first 334 of his 601 career home runs.
"He had a no-trade clause, and he's earned the right to make this decision," Twins general manager Bill Smith told 1500 ESPN's Phil Mackey. "... It wasn't an easy decision for him, and I think there was a lot that went into it. But we wanted to do the right thing for him."
Thome appeared in 179 games over parts of two seasons with the Twins, hitting .266 (128-for-482) with 37 home runs -- including No. 600 on Aug. 15 at Detroit -- 28 doubles and 99 runs batted in. Smith called him "the ultimate professional."
The Indians, who are 6½ games back of first-place Detroit in the American League Central Division standings, visit Target Field for three games Sept. 16 to 18.
The player the Twins receive in the trade will be finalized by Oct. 15, the team said. They'll finalize the open spot on the 25-man roster before Friday's series opener against Detroit.

No matter what happens to the Browns in Pittsburgh today, Pat Shurmur and Tom Heckert will almost certainly be fired within 24 hours of the game ending, with the only question left in how long it takes for the organization to make the announcement. This will be the final nail in the coffin of the most illegitimate regime in Cleveland Browns history, and nobody shouldn't be thankful for that.
Still, of course, we have no real idea what's coming next, so brace yourselves for things like Mike Lombardi, articles about how the Browns should make an extremely Luck-y 60-year-old career coordinator their next head coach, ones about how they should retain Dick Jauron, the genius architect of the league's eighth-worst defense, and worse.
In the meantime, here's your Thad Lewis field guide courtesy of Samer Kalaf at Deadspin, and here's another good read on Phil Dawson, this one by Zac Jackson.
Salute to Phil as well as Josh Cribbs once more, and enjoy the final Shurmurball open thread for all time.
