Creating Custom Context Menu Entries
You can customize the entries and actions on a context menu module using the ContextMenu package commands.
Note: On this help page, the custom context menu module is referenced by the name newCM.
Simple Entries
The simplest context configuration that can be created is a single entry with a command.
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "Increment the integer", "%EXPR + 1", integer );
This command adds a menu entry with the text label Increment the integer to the top-level context menu.
The second argument, %EXPR + 1, is a string that indicates the action to be performed if the associated menu entry is selected. The text %EXPR serves as a placeholder for the object that the user clicks, and will be replaced by the value of this object if the associated entry is selected. For example, if a user right-clicks (for Macintosh, Control-clicks) the Maple integer 5, and selects Increment the integer from the context menu, the text 5 + 1 is inserted into the worksheet.
The third argument, integer, specifies that this menu entry appears only when the object that the user right-clicks (for Macintosh, Control-clicks) is of type integer.
Entries with Help Strings
You can optionally supply a help string for a menu entry. A help string is text, usually slightly longer than the text of the menu entry, that describes the action performed. It is displayed in a tooltip when the mouse pointer is positioned over the menu entry. For example:
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "Increment the integer", "%EXPR + 1", integer, helpstring="Increment the integer by 1" );
Submenus and Categories
When designing a menu system, it is recommended that you group together entries that are logically related, and impose a hierarchy on menu entries to avoid a single menu with an overwhelming number of entries. These two goals can be accomplished by using submenus and categories.
A submenu is a context menu that is launched by clicking an entry in a context menu. Submenus are useful for grouping together a set of related entries.
When adding an entry to the context menu module, you can specify that this entry be placed in a submenu by using the submenu option.
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "To String", "convert(%EXPR, string)", Not(string), submenu=["Conversions"] );
The To String entry is placed on the Conversions submenu within the context menu system. For more information, see ContextMenu[CurrentContext][Entries][Add].
You can group together related entries in the top-level context menu without placing the groupings in separate submenus. This can be achieved using categories.
When adding an entry to a context menu module, you can specify a category by using a Maple string. Entries in the top-level context menu that have identical categories are grouped together in the menu. A horizontal divider is drawn between entries of different categories.
Note: The category name is not displayed in the context menu.
Important: Categories can be used only in top-level menu entries, not submenu entries.
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "Factor Integer", "ifactor(%EXPR)", integer, category="Integers" );
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "Test Primality", "isprime(%EXPR)", integer, category="Integers" );
newCM:-Entries:-Add( "Floor", "floor(%EXPR)", {float, fraction}, category="Non-Integers" );
The Factor Integer and Test Primality entries are grouped together in the top-level menu, with a dividing line separating them from the Floor entry.
Additional Information
For more information on customizing the context menus, see ContextMenu[CurrentContext].

Guinness Brewery, Dublin
16 Reviews

Favorite thing:
First, why take a bus or a taxi when you can walk there?
But make sure you're drunk enough, cos a sober person would never ever decide for that.
I was there only once and am not sure if I'd go there again.
Its not that is bad, in fact I even found it to be interesting. Never been in a beer factory before. But the best thing in that brewery is the Gravity bar on the top of it. You have a fantastic view from there.
The barmens were nice. And cute. We got one round for free :-)
Favorite thing:
A local train DART will take you to the Dublin Riviera in no time. Dalkey and the adjacent Killiney Bay with its winding roads and mediterranean villas and unbelievable vistas over Irish Sea will steal your heart. Its home to Enya, Bono and the likes.....
Fondest memory: A drive along the Howth road with a friend followed by an Irish coffee in Abbey Tavern in the Howth village... Sandymount Strand on a warm July night... Lunch at Caviston's the fishmongers... watching the ferries going to Liverpool at sunset from the Lighthouse... not enough space to list everything...
Favorite thing:
In 1881, the annual production of Guinness brewed had surpassed one million barrels a year and by 1914, St. James's Gate was the world's largest brewery. It is no longer the world's largest brewery, but is still the world's largest Stout brewery.
Guinness is now brewed in 35 countries around the world, but all these overseas brews must contain a flavoured extract brewed only at St. James's Gate. Today there are 10 million glasses of Guinness served every day across the world. Not a bad little business.
Fondest memory: BENJAMIN LEE GUINNESS (1798—1868),
Arthur Guinness gradually handed over control to his three sons, and spent his last years at his country home in Drumcondra, a Dublin suburb. He died on 23 January 1803. His third son, Benjamin Lee Guinness (1798—1868), seems to be the real maker of the firm, turning it into the hugely successful industry we know today.
He was brought in to the industry at an early age, and in 1825 he was given sole control. Prior to his control the trade in Guinness's porter and stout was confined only to Ireland. When Benjamin Lee Guinness took control, he established agencies in the United Kingdom, on the continent, and in my favorite part of the world, the FORMER British colonies of America.
Benjamin began exporting porter to Europe through canal exports, creating an entire network of Guinness shipping just for this purpose. He built small rail lines to transport the materials and ingredients through the brew yard and for delivery of the product to his barges and ships. The visitors center in the Brewery has a superb display of the entire process, including the brewing of the stout, barrel making, brewery rail line, shipping- both overseas and domestic- and marketing.
I found all of this a fascinating investigation of how one of the word's most successful enterprises came about. Guinness is a remarkable story.
Favorite thing:
Guinness' competition does not stand a chance against this great giant. Other brews fall by the wayside in comparrison.
These dead soliders were found on the way out of St. James Gate, forgotten and discarded in the shadows of the conquering master!!
Favorite thing:
There is a FANTASTIC exhibit in the Vistor Center about the making of barrels. Guinness produced virtually every ingredient of the brew making process, from the malt, barley, hops, equipment, trains, tracks, ships and barges. they made everything at the brewery and employed thousands of people. Not a bad industry to foster on your grounds.
One of the most interesting, and best displayed, is the cooper's industry, barrel making. be sure to look at this exceptional exhibit while touring the facility.
Favorite thing:
Further advertising genius came from Sir Hugh Beaver, Managing Director of Guinness in 1951, when he wanted to know what is the fastest flying game bird in Europe. He contacted the McWhirter Research Agency to find his answer and expanded the collection of this and other interesting answers into a 1955 publication, and created the second best selling book on the planet, "The Guinness Book Of World Records", a true stroke of marketing genius. Damn, I wish I was that smart!
Fondest memory: The attached photo, taken along the wlak to the Guinness Storehouse, illustrates a less successful competitor!!
Favorite thing:
One of the essential ingredients for Guinness' success, aside from the delicious taste, is its incredible and highly effective marketing strategy.
No matter how good your product, it can only be as profitable as the regional scale of its market. The broader you make that region, the more product you're likely to sell. John Gilroy, and Englishman born in 1898, was the mastermind behind Guinness' so highly successful strategy. Over a 35 year period, Gilroy created over 100 separate advertising campaigns, all of which seem to have made Guinness the huge success it has been throughout this history.
The marketing phrase "Guinness is Good For You", came from a British line of advertising stemming from the 1920's- a neat little piece of trivia for you. The one with the Toucan however, I simply don't understand. What in the heck does a toucan have to do with either Guinness in particular, stout in general, or Ireland in the least? Beats me. The images are pretty, but other than that, there's no reason on earth a toucan should be touting the stout. Seems dumb to me.
Fondest memory: In spite of the toucan however, a true pint served in a Dublin pub is better than any drink I've ever had. Nowhere else is it as delicious as in its native Ireland, and probably nowhere is it better than in Dublin. It just doesn't seem to travel well, in spite of it's global success. Even the best pint I've had in the DC area, "Ned Devines" in Fairfax, is nowhere the same taste and quality as that served at Grogans or the Bank Pub in Dublin, both of which served a heavenly glass.
Having noticed how quickly the Irish polish off their weekend kegs (52 I counted against one Dublin pub alone, and there are one thousand pubs like it in Dublin) my guess is that the remaining pubs across the globe take to long to finish a keg, the stout gets a bit acidy, and the taste suffers. Guinness has to be fresh, and the freshest location for a perfect pint is nowhere to be found four hours from the Liffey.
Favorite thing:
It wasn't a completely easy start for Arthur however when he had major trouble with the Dublin Corporation in 1775. The Corporation decided that Guinness was drawing more free water from the Liffey than his lease permitted and sent a sheriff to stop production. Arthur personally defended his property with a pickaxe, and eventually reached a peaceful solution with the Corporation.
Fondest memory: 'ALE-ING' START
Guinness started his company producing ale. In 1778 though, he began to brew porter – a darker beer containing roasted barley popular with London's porters and stevedores along Covent Garden and Billingsgate in London. I don't personally know these places, but imagine they were working class and therefore the drink appealed to the majority of London's population. It was a great drink and became extremely popular both in England and Ireland.
The porter tripled his previous sales threefold during the Napoleonic Wars, and in time St James's Gate became the largest porter and stout brewery in the world. The stronger porter took on the name 'extra stout porter' later shortened to become known by what we call it today; STOUT.
Favorite thing:
Arthur Guinness, father of this great corporation, was born in Celbridge, Co Kildare, in 1725.
His father, a land steward and brewer, worked for the archbishop of Cashel, Dr Arthur Price. He had and brewed beer for workers on the estate and passed on his talent to Arthur. When Price died in 1752, he left £200 to the Guinnesses.
Arthur took his portion and in 1756, leased a brewery in Leixlip, Co Kildare for three years, then took over the an old, dilapidated brewery at St James' Gate in Dublin. The old brewery, 'Mark Rainsford's Ale Brewery', had sat dormant for ten years prior to Guinness' lease. There were already seventy breweries in Dublin at the time, and no one thought Guinness would be able to successfully compete in such a saturated market. They were, it seems, wrong.
Fondest memory: ST. JAMES GATE BREWERY
On December 1759, he leased a small piece of land along Dublin's James's Street…. for 45 Pounds per year for 9000 years! The lease ends in 10,759 A.D. Wow. What a lease!! Wish I had done that! He was 34 years old at the time. The land held an old, dilapidated, ill-equipped brewery, where he began brewing his ale. Within eight years he was master of the Dublin Corporation of Brewers.
He married well too, marrying in 1761 a relative of Henry Grattan, Olivia Whitmore. They had twenty-one children of all things. That's bound to be a large family by anyone's count. It seems that only ten of the children lived to establish the dynasty though.
Favorite thing:
There's no easy transition with my photographs from the Liberties to the Brewery, which was my next stop during the day's exploration, so I'm just going to take a heavy handed approach and insert the Brewery here.
St. Patrick's is closer to the Liberties than the Brewery, but there's no easy way to take you to the Brewery from here in my tour, so take a break and I'll transport us across a short space and time from the Liberties to......St. James gate brewery and astory of Arthur Guinness.
Fondest memory: The Brewery is a short walk from Christ Church down High Street, to Cornmarket Street, then Thomas Street West.
If you do walk this route, one note to help navigate is that all of these streets are essentially on the same thoroughfare, but keeping to the Dubliner penchant for dual, triplicate, quadruple and quintuple nomenclature, this little eight block stroll leads you down the same street with three different name changes.
The only place I recall where I needed to take a bearing though, was the intersection of Cornmarket, Bridge Street and High Street. There is a broad intersection here, so pull out your map if walking. Head west.
Favorite thing: When I made it to the top of the Guinness Storehouse to the Gravity Bar and looked out onto Dublin, I realized that it's not as impressive as looking out at the many domes of Rome or the spires of Prague. But if you look around, you'll see distant, vibrant green hills that could only be Irish. If you walk the streets, you'll see pubs that the whole world tries to copy. And if you venture into one of those pubs and talk with some locals, you'll experience hospitality unmatched.
Favorite thing:
Now people, pay close attention. An important thing to note about Dublin is that it is the stronghold for the beautiful Black nectar of the goddesses that is Guinness .
So what I'm saying is that, when you go to Dublin, be sure to sample the superstout.
Favorite thing:
Go and visit the Guinness brewery, home of Irelands most famous export! If you're lucky you'll even get to sample a free pint or two yourself!
Fondest memory: The people. Some of the friendliest people I have ever met live in this marvelous city
Favorite thing: see the Guinness Storehouse - Set inside a converted 18th century fermentation building, it comprises of six floors linked by a giant atrium in the shape of a pint glass. Although the actual brewery is not open to the public, the storehouse's new exhibition space outlines the 200-year history of the company and reveals many brewing secrets. The models and displays of the exhibition are followed by a short film and a glass of the famous brew.
Favorite thing:
Guinness Hop Store - Beer museum
Crane St. Opposite the Guinness Brewery, tours of their exhibition centre culminate in a taste of Dublin's finest. Contemporary art upstairs and good city views. (Mon-Fri 10am-4pm. IR£2.)
Fondest memory: The Guinness Beer, Lovely!

Mindful of the potential of the recession to compound hurricane damage, experts are warning Americans against saving on upgrades or putting off protecting their property.
When a natural disaster strikes an already cash-strapped household, it becomes a double-edged sword, so it is crucial to follow a few simple and low-cost steps to avoid a financial catastrophe down the road.
The Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) says it is important to conduct a roof inspection to make sure the covering is well-adhered and there are no missing pieces. Secure any loose sheathing with spray foam seal adhesive or caulk.
Next, it is time to secure any doors and windows which can become entry points for flying debris or become dangerous debris themselves if they shatter.
Install shutters ahead of time to protect windows, and use plywood as a last resort, suggests IBHS. It adds that masking tape is not a substitute for window coverings and will not protect the house against wind and water.
Other vulnerable entry points that may need to be secured include roof or ridge vents. It is a good practice to reseal around windows, doors and vents using caulk as water can penetrate through even the smallest openings.
Finally, once the storm is on its way, it is wise to remove all outdoor furniture and any loose objects that can be picked up by the wind and compound damage to surrounding property.

The Outtakes: My Review of Brimmer & Heeltap
One of the restaurants I review for the June issue is Brimmer & Heeltap. I've known proprietress Jen Doak for years, back when she managed The Tasting Room in Post Alley. It's been fun to watch her career grow. And when she landed the former Le Gourmand space in Ballard, I was incredibly excited to see what she'd do with the place, alongside business partner (and former Revel chef) Mike Whisenhunt. For about six months, from the time she got the keys to the time she opened, it was like watching in slow-motion someone's dream come true. I talked to Jen and Mike at length before writing the article. Here's what ended up on the cutting room floor.
What does this restaurant mean to you and to the neighborhood?
Jen Doak: The greatest sense of satisfaction for me is when strangers meet [in my restaurant], exchange numbers and become fast friends. The vehicle for that neighborhood connection is food and drink, but it's much bigger. Probably 80% of our business is people who live really close. Knowing that our role as a restaurant, some days you get no interaction because it's determined by the guest, but if there's repeat and repetition, then it builds on this base of…it's communal. It's very touching.
Tell me about the menu development.
I trust [Mike] 1000% on the food. I think the other thing that's pretty flattering is the not super adventurous diners. The menu kind of freaks them out a little, but then they end up loving everything. Mike says that [Revel owner] Rachel [Yang] taught him that he doesn't have to list everything on the menu, so that when things come out, there's a little bit of a surprise, like, "Woah! I wasn't expecting that!"
Why don't you put the late night offerings on the regular menu?
We really wanted to have a separate menu to draw a late-night crowd. The most room for growth is the 10 p.m. to midnight category. As a neighborhood spot, we might have to change it over time. We wanted to get in here and see what people wanted before we make changes.
And I see you have a magnum of bubbly on the menu for $110...
Selfishly, I love champagne, so any excuse to pour more. It's value-oriented, too!
How did you construct the menu?
Mike Whisenhunt: I just picked things I knew I liked and flavors that I really liked and things that I had seen or done before, so I wasn't trying to recreate the wheel. Everything on the menu is up for change/evolution.
What kind of feedback have you gotten so far?
Some people really love it and are crazy about it, and some people don't get certain things or don't understand where I'm coming from with it so they don't like it. But I think it's more like 10-percent that don't like it, and maybe it's just one thing they don't like, but I think most people really enjoy it and want to come back.
I want to evolve the menu. Seasons change and people's palates change. I want them to keep coming back and finding something new. The abilities in small kitchen plays into everything. As we evaluate longevity of our large party menu, we're open to folding it into the regular menu.
Side note: Brimmer & Helltap recently opened up outdoor seating. The former Sambar patio has stayed much the same, with seating for about 20. The shady oasis doesn't see too much sun, but if you can find a seat under the giant tree sprouting bushels of bay leaves, do it. Grab a glass of rose or Bordeaux blanc to pair with a side of steak tartare or Dungeness crab trifle and you'll have yourself quite the lovely evening.

The motion and the cry were too sudden for words to interrupt his bloody intention.
"It was a bloody and most awful spectacle," said De Morla, with feeling.
Old Engish blodig, adjective from blod (see blood). Common Germanic, cf. Old Frisian blodich, Old Saxon blôdag, Dutch bloedig, Old High German bluotag, German blutig.
It has been a British intensive swear word since at least 1676. Weekley relates it to the purely intensive use of the cognate Dutch bloed, German Blut. But perhaps it ultimately is connected with bloods in the slang sense of "rowdy young aristocrats" (see blood (n.)) via expressions such as bloody drunk "as drunk as a blood."
Partridge reports that it was "respectable" before c.1750, and it was used by Fielding and Swift, but heavily tabooed c.1750-c.1920, perhaps from imagined association with menstruation; Johnson calls it "very vulgar," and OED writes of it, "now constantly in the mouths of the lowest classes, but by respectable people considered 'a horrid word', on par with obscene or profane language."
The onset of the taboo against bloody coincides with the increase in linguistic prudery that presaged the Victorian Era but it is hard to say what the precise cause was in the case of this specific word. Attempts have been made to explain the term's extraordinary shock power by invoking etymology. Theories that derive it from such oaths as "By our Lady" or "God's blood" seem farfetched, however. More likely, the taboo stemmed from the fear that many people have of blood and, in the minds of some, from an association with menstrual bleeding. Whatever, the term was debarred from polite society during the whole of the nineteenth century. [Rawson]Shaw shocked theatergoers when he put it in the mouth of Eliza Doolittle in "Pygmalion" (1914), and for a time the word was known euphemistically as "the Shavian adjective." It was avoided in print as late as 1936. Bloody Sunday, Jan. 30, 1972, when 13 civilians were killed by British troops at protest in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
1520s, from bloody (adj.). Related: Bloodied; bloodying. Old English had blodigan "to make bloody," but the modern word seems to be a later formation.
bloody blood·y (blŭd'ē)
adj. blood·i·er, blood·i·est
Stained with blood.
Of, characteristic of, or containing blood.
Suggesting the color of blood; blood-red.
To stain, spot, or color with or as if with blood.
To make bleed, as by injuring or wounding.

The informational meeting for potential walk-ons will be held Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Bill Battle Academic Center at Bryant Hall in Room 247
Derek Tuten is in his eighth year as an assistant coach for the Alabama rowing team. While he is involved in all aspects of the program, his primary duties include coaching the novice rowers and serving as the program's boatman/rigger, in charge of keeping the Tide's boats in top condition.
"Derek brings a wealth of rowing knowledge to our program," Davis said. "As a Tuscaloosa native and an Alabama graduate, he knows the pride everyone has in the Crimson Tide and he knows the Alabama rowing community. His experience and knowledge help our student-athletes become acclimatized to all phases of the collegiate rowing experience."
Tuten served as head coach of the Alabama Crew Club prior to joining the Crimson Tide staff in the summer of 2007. As the club coach, he led the men to a win at the Head of the South and a finalist spot at the S.I.R.A. Championships.
"Derek is an excellent teacher when it comes to rowing," Davis said. "He brings a balance and patience to the program in terms of how he goes about his coaching. A keen observer, he takes what he sees and works individually with the student-athletes to teach them the skills they need to be successful."
A 1997 graduate of Central High School, Tuten coached the Alabama Crew Club for two years as an assistant under Davis before taking over the reins in 2006. During that period, the club was a consistent medalist, including earning gold at the S.I.R.A. Championships.
"Having worked with coach Davis in the past with great success, I was excited about the opportunity to do so again at the Division I level," Tuten said. "With the university's dedication to athletics and academics, I know this program will succeed."
Tuten was a four-year member of the Alabama Crew Club while pursuing a psychology degree at Alabama. He also rowed for the Riverside Boat Club and Community Rowing in Boston, one of the nation's top cities for competitive rowing.
As a competitor, Tuten rowed at the U.S. Rowing National Championships as well as the C.R.A.S.H. - B Sprints World Indoor Championships. He won gold at the Southeastern Championships, Head of the South and Chattanooga Head Race during his career. Tuten also medaled at the Head of the Chattahoochee, Head of the Tennessee, Augusta Invitational, Tennessee Indoor Sprints, Atlanta Indoor Sprints and Clemson Sprints.

SPECIAL REPORT PART THREE: Avoid an FCC Fine.
March 7, 2011
In our continuing series regarding FCC fines and how to avoid them, we spoke to communications lawyer John Garziglia of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice in Washington. Although the FCC says it has not stepped up enforcement of its rules or increased the number of inspections being done, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with as much information as possible to keep you clean and fine free. In today's report, Garziglia provides stations with some great tips on how to avoid being fined.
What is the easiest way to avoid any and all FCC fines?
JG: Many stations, to routinely avoid FCC problems, have one station staff person appointed as the person who tracks FCC requirements and serves as the point person to insure FCC compliance. or instance, this person will be the person who must be notified whenever a job vacancy occurs at the station and it is this person who confirms that those who are doing the hiring are following the FCC's EEO requirements of wide outreach and documentation that are inherent in the FCC's EEO requirements. It is this same person who confirms that issues/programs lists are prepared and put into the local public file for the preceding quarter each January 10th, April 10th, July 10th and October 10th, and compiles and puts into the local public file the annual EEO public file report.
Likewise, this person insures that the Chief Engineer is signing off on the station's logs on a weekly basis, keeps a record of all authorizations and any expiration dates, insures that station contests are complete with rules that meet FCC standards and when necessary, calls the station's communications law attorney for advice and review of FCC issues that may arise such as political broadcasting questions, EEO compliance questions, and on-air content issues. Having one person responsible to the station management for an overview of FCC rule compliance goes a long way to avoiding FCC fines.
What does the commission go after first?
After anything safety related such as tower lights being out without the FAA being notified and EAS non-compliance, the FCC next appears to focus most on EEO and local public file issue such as up-to-date issues/programs lists.
Specificaly, what should stations make sure they have in their public file?
For local public file rule compliance, available at www.garziglia.com/checklists are convenient one-page local public file checklists for each state (different states have different due dates for certain things in the local public file) that can be used by station personnel to periodically audit the contents of a broadcast station's local public file. Some of the things on the checklist are rather obtuse such as the requirement that the FCC's publication "The Public and Broadcasting" be included in the local public file and sent on request to someone requesting it but once the person who is made responsible for the checklist goes through it, that person will know what that document is, as well as the other documents that are to be in each broadcast station's local public file. It is a "one page" checklist so as to make the task not seem too daunting. The checklist gives the person responsible for public file compliance a good guide to the FCC's local public file rules and compliance, along with references to the specific sections of the FCC's rules for each document required to be in the local public file.
How does a station know if a photo is copyright protected with everything that is shared these days?
The nature of copyright law is that, as a general matter, everything on the web should be presumed to have an enforceable copyright and therefore should not be used by another without permission or a license to do so. There are exceptions, but as a general rule no photo should be taken from the web and used without permission. In addition to copyright issues which can be very expensive to resolve, if the photo is of a person there are issues in using the likeness of a person without that person's consent in furtherance of a commercial venture as well as other possible issues.
How in the world can anyone get fined for not renewing a license?
The FCC routinely fines broadcast stations for failing to timely file a license renewal application. In previous license renewal cycles, the FCC did not send out notifications to stations that licenses were set to expire. Rather, the FCC expects broadcast stations to be aware of the terms of their licenses and to timely file license renewal applications without a reminder. With radio licenses starting to expire in the current cycle this year, and license renewal applications due for stations in Maryland, Virginia, DC and West Virginia this June 1, 2011, it is important for each broadcast station to ascertain when a license renewal application will be due.

A far cry from the grey skies of Bolton in the UK, the scorching sand dunes and golden beaches of Ras Al Khaimah will be the latest home for Bolton University. The University is launching a new campus, 3,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates and students are already queuing up to join the campus, which opens in Ras Al Khaimah later this year.
Students will have the same timetable as their counterparts in the UK, with a number of lecturers and key staff from Britain spending time in the Middle East to help establish the campus. Students from both countries will get the chance to take part in exchange programmes
The scheme is the latest venture by a British university in the overseas education market, with British higher education seen as the benchmark in many parts of the world. Several other British universities have launched campuses around the world.
The Ras Al Khaimah facility will launch in September, offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering, business, computing, and design.

New mother Tori Spelling has reportedly been admitted to hospital a day after complaining about a severe migraine.
RELATED: Guess the Celeb Baby Bump
The reality TV star gave birth to her third child, daughter Hattie, earlier this month, but took to her Twitter.com page on Saturday to tell fans about her crippling headaches.
She wrote, "Anyone else get horrendous migraines right after giving birth? Is it hormones? I've had one for a week now. Nothing is working."

On Sunday, Spelling's worried husband Dean McDermott took her straight to the Tarzana Medical Center in California, according to online reports.
A representative for the star has yet to comment on the reports.

Oh, fireman, by your saving grace,
my babies remain now with me,
so I give kisses thankfully
all over your sweet dearest face.
And please do not think that I'm rude.
Though my kisses be rough and wet,
there's no bigger love you can get
then this mama dog's gratitude.

More great poems below...
Once in a forest, a long time ago,
there dwelt a young maiden, bright, sweet and fair.
Flowers she wore in her long wavy hair,
and each day she'd vanish into gloaming's glow.
Alana Dulcita was this young maid's name,
a name that fell sweetly from everyone's tongue.
The townspeople loved her -both old and young,
yet nobody knew from where the girl came.
They only knew that, at the end of each day,
with sun dipping downward into the west
and sky splashed with colors Alana liked best,
was when, as if magically, she'd slip away!
"Where does she go?" all the villagers asked,
"And how does she leave us so quietly
that not even one of us ever can see?
Has some kind of spell on our dear girl been cast?"
Spell or no spell, the young maid had powers
as into the woodland she fled and then donned
a gossamer gown, hidden well near a pond
surrounded by beautiful flowers.
She peered into water after she'd kneel
as a lovely face gazed back at her.
In this perfect moment, what should occur
but, like magic, the girl became real!
Her filmy silk gown would blend with her skin,
shrinking into a stem, and her face
changed into petals till soon not a trace
remained of the form that a human lives in.
Alana Dulcita, her real self again,
breathing lilacs' and lilies' sweet scent,
would bow her fair face, a flower content,
to repose by the pond with her kin.
Awaking at dawn, renewed, she'd return
to the town where they loved her so well,
keeping the secret she never could tell
of youth's beauty for which humans yearn.
She'd never grow old as long as she had
a place of seclusion where she might go
to water around which bright flowers could grow,
for this is what kept the soul of hers glad!
Never to marry and never to stay
too long in one place, she'd always move on.
Beloved she would be till the day she was gone.
This, for Alana, was the only way.
Alana Dulcita, where did she go
when forests grew small and lake beds grew dry?
Did the fair maid eventually die
or is she still sleeping where bright blossoms grow?
Note: The name Alana means "the bright fair one" in Gaelic
or "precious; awakening" in Hawaiian & "Beautiful dear child"
in Irish/ the name Dulcita is Latin for "sweet."

(Inspired by dance steps from a belly dancing class I once took!)
She rolls her pretty head from side to side
while, raised above her face, are slim curved arms.
Brief pose. . . . She's readied to expose her charms.
Wrists twist, and serpentine, arms downward glide.
Her undulating silk-draped hips move round.
She churns them slowly, flashing bright green eyes;
then minces "Camel Walk" to tantalize
as ankle bracelets make a tinkling sound.
With bills in hand, men beckon with a glance.
She shimmies, jingling toward them in dim light;
then spins and thrusts her pelvis right, left, right.
Seduction of delight - her belly dance.
For Barbara Gorelick's "May I Have This Dance?" Contest
It jumps not to the thought of riches or the prospect of gold
For common treasures are not what it seeks
But rather it responds to that probable possibility
That it may have touched the depths of someone else's soul
It hearkens not to sparkling gems or lusts after a lifetime of wealth
For inside jewels lies the hearts of thieves
But rather it stirs at giving a word someone needs
For inspiration to even the smallest person is a diamond in itself
It doesn't ache for dollar bills or lurch at the sight of green
For nowadays money comes in many different forms
But rather it longs to patch up another heart that may have been torn
And once again to give that person's life meaning
It is a place where the world dare not or otherwise cannot go
A safe haven for valuables other than currency
A hidden trail where treasure means finding creativity
A path that only the hearts of poets know

Gentle voice within-- murmurs to shake my thoughts
carrying me to a lair of lavenders and roses
as the wind sways choir with an echo painting poses
it matches the twinkling stars in their bright tons of shots
I shut my eyes from around to listen in silence
Hugging myself in surrender to ardent breeze of remember
tender are the words seeping slow in my heart's chamber
freeing me from dangling touches of conflict and shyness
Candy wrapped around these whispers permits me to move
for like a laughing water, it's lapping, caresses my ears.
ah! how it melt my tangled threads of salad fears!
Arising above to display an open jolly groove,
I breathe an ounce to utter a single prayer
to forever beget these nectarine whispers
where to timeless counts of thorns, I may not shiver
instead-- before despair, I will stand for I'm spared.
Upon twin trial pools of impossibles,
embrace my heart; oh! embrace my soul
Answer my yearning; fill me whole
for if I twine with you, I am unstoppable... !

this is not just a poem
this is my ticket out of here
these are not just words
there steps taking me somewhere
this isn't just a page in a book
it's a society taking a second look
and taking me up another level
rescuing me from a devil
that held me down for so so long
this is not just a poem
this is someones dream
a picture of heaven
a wonderous scene
this is a heart filled with love
words that tell the meaning of
to a society taking a second look
this is not just a page in a book
it's something to ponder
bidding take a deeper look
this is not just a poem
this is a call to arms
on the lips of our heroes
in the hearts of our sons
join in the battle for freedom
join in the battle of love
join in the name of the Father
and the Son
this is not just a verse in a song
it's a universal call to make right
what is wrong
this is not just a poem
this is a child to a barren man
a tombstone a monument
i inscribe with my own hand
my institution my revolution
my way to move on
my dedication for your education
and encouragement to be strong
these are my words
that i hope i used well
in hope that this poem
is my ticket out of hell

The Situation
From seconds to minutes to hours to night, then to day,
Time moved, taking with it, the bliss I was sharing with you.
Life's moments cannot be retrieved; so what could I do
while there in the warmth of your strong loving arms I lay?
With torrents and torrents of ticking and ticking away,
relentlessly, cruelly, Time rained down upon us that night.
Dark faded to dawn; I was wishing with all of my might
that Time would suspend itself, and in your arms I would stay!
But Time is an executioner one cannot sway.
How I wish (though it seems the mere pausing of Time is a sin)
that Time could have stopped, and my last night with you would have been
serene and unhastened, Time miffed by its own delay.

Why is it called 'Black History Month'
Black means void of light
why because we are nonwhite
this should be voted out
because the name Human Race
carries more weight
Sure, I understand
it is a way of denouncing the browner skinned man
Why is it there are tanning booths
for the lighter or paler skinned people of the world
they would rather call us 'boy' or 'girl'
Well, the fact remains we are really the majority
who else is given one entire month to give high esteem to for the accomplishments
of the so-called minority
In all actuality every time that you use your dryer thank G.T. Sampson
or stop at a traffic light thank G. Morgan
you are thanking God Almighty for blessing the person who you call 'black' for the ability to create these valuable worthwhile necessities
So, when you hear of someone having an open heart surgery thank the man of the human race with the browner skin for being the first to perform the first one
Ah, the victories we have won
do not frown
do not fret God will get you, yet
to admit that deep in your heart
we all play a part
in the world being 'it takes all kind to make it go around'
no one is better than the next
however, when you get ready to text
think about Mr. H.T. Sampson who invented it for your leisure
pleasure maybe even a luxury
Or when your horse needs a shoe say a silent 'thank you' to J. Ricks
Can we all just get along
became a catchy realistic reachable phrase from a lighter skinned man who was beaten almost to a bloody pulp for being a man you called 'black' by those of a different shade of skin

With brilliance, clad in white, in an enchanted world,
a vision most inviting stands before my very eyes.
She treads a grassy hill beyond which mountains rise
to heaven's heights where fluffs of clouds, as if in pink, are swirled.
Her golden locks are streaming in a gentle breeze.
Her lovely face is beaming. It's a woman-child I see.
My steps are quickening. She seems to beckon me.
But suddenly the sun is streaming; soon the maiden flees!
Who was she? Can you guess? And where has she now gone?
A little hint - she'll come again, but not till night has passed.
Wake up bright and early; she comes and goes so fast!
Look to the sky and watch for her. She is the Goddess Dawn.
For Brian Strand's Poulter Measure (in quatrain form)
(Another look at Funnel Spiders)
They spin and spin in dark of night
funnel and tunnel beneath my sight
then slide inside to hide from view;
yet, like a thug with talons, tug
an innocent bug, snag him snug,
then proceed to chew him through.

What is this spring if, laden with grief,
I have a wish to see trees coming into leaf
And their foliage nourishing, beginning afresh –
And being as soft as the touch of Zaldania's flesh;
And their verdance gleaming in the sun,
Where children can hide and seek and have fun.
A wish to lie beneath the trees and watch the stars,
At night when breeze sways humbly the grass;
And the boughs of trees rustling in the cold,
Like something almost being told.
A wish to hear jovial birds chirping in trees during the day –
To relish their melodies and their vernal songs and be gay;
A wish to lo and behold with a smile, trees growing high,
Come new season, they seem to say with a beseeching sigh;
And wash away these shriveled leaves again,
So we can blossom new lease of grain –
And help recover the branches that were cut into wood,
By these people who reside in the neighbourhood;
A wish to sit and watch the trees dance,
To fulfill my leisure whilst I enjoy their glance.
And sing a jolly song as I watch them shake,
Hence slumber in their shadow and tarry to wake;
Just like they once died and then began anew,
I also wish that if I die I come back too.
O dreadful this spring if, laden with grief,
I have a wish to see the trees coming into leaf.

May you never be on the wanting side of love
The needing side
The reaching side
The "You are my life" side of love.
May you never be on the thirsty side of the love
The withered side
The shriveled side
The "I can't breathe without you" side of love
May you never be on the tormented side of love
The consuming side
The deranging side
The "I'll be whoever you want" side of love.
May you never be on the unfulfilled side of love
The desiring side
The coveting side
The "Why don't you want me?" side of love
May you never be on the bleeding side of love
The crushed side
The scarred side
The "I'm not good enough for you" side of love
Ah, my love, my life, my day, my night…..
My sun, my world, my stars, my light….
May you never be on this side of love
The broken side
The wasted side
The side of love
You've left me on

Time has become my greatest enemy
It drags on, an infernal grating on the nerve
Like a broken muffler, dragging around the curve
While my love and I starve for each other's company
Until time surrenders, I wait my love with baited breath
Watching time, which I have confounded for going by so slowly
For that hour, that minute, that second, when you will be mine only
When I shall pledge my love to you forever, until death

I've always loved the name Mom gave to me -
a name she'd heard and wanted to bestow
on her first girl; she got it from a show
on radio. She thought it was so pretty!
While not a name for girls in Italy,
my name has got a version masculine.
From Greece comes "Andrew," meant for manly men!
The female version, though, means "womanly."
In Spain, one girl in fourteen has my name.
However, in the USA, the year
that I was born, you'd hardly ever hear
this name which now enjoys a greater fame.
And since my name was not too common when
I came into this world, it helped me grow
to treasure things unique and lovely, so
perhaps for that, I use a poet's pen!
I also found, in numerology,
the letters of my first name add up to
a thoughtful Seven's destiny so true -
inventiveness and eccentricity!
I'm glad the name of "Andrea" is mine.
My middle name is even rarer still.
Its likeness to my first name I'll not reveal,
but all my names together brightly shine!
Life is..
Life is beautiful and amazing with you. Looking back with no regrets only grateful for memories shared. Life together has shaped us into what we are today.
Life is like a room filled with sunshine on the coldest winter morning, as our love flows freely warming every inch. Only together could our love warm as the sun.
Life is you and me together sharing and caring. To me, this is what life is!

To live without the fear of falling sleep
and love enough to chase the night away,
eyes drift across the darkness where she lay
befriending dancing shadows as she weeps.
Awake another night beneath dim stars
once bright enough to shine through flesh and bone.
The sky like death's tomb buries her alone
not long enough to reach the light afar.
Then golden auras lift to burden breath
with shallow gasps, she faints into sunrise.
Alone again, no soul to hear her cries
or feel her pounding heart before her death.
And who will come to rescue her from sleep
if nightmares wrestle dreams as stillness comes?
No faith or love, her lonely heart succumbs
to bitterness that flows from oceans deep.
Her beauty had once glowed behind her eyes
and softened all the edges of her face.
Not long ago, she charmed from star's embrace.
Now, she, the temptress, falls from timeless skies.
The glories of the past are hardened earth
and stars burn out then cease to light the sky.
Fated to fear the dark and surely die
alone, she mourns her youth of selfish worth.

I am a child
Like the one you tuck in bed
The one you kiss on the head
The one who gets loved instead
The one who is so well fed
I am a child
I am a child
Like the one who gives you joy
Your pretty girl and fine boy
The one who gets every toy
The one who none dares annoy
I am a child
I am a child
With no home to call my own
The cold reaching to my bone
Hunger pangs, all that I've known
In tattered clothes, I have grown
I am a child
I am a child
The pavement my only bed
Dreaming of a piece of bread
With a small heart full of dread
My life hanging from a thread
I am a child
I am a child
With no gifts beneath the tree
With no hope to be set free
Wanting like YOUR child to be
Why, oh, why, can't you love ME?
I am a child
I am YOUR child
I am GOD's child
Remember me this Christmas….

I'm privileged that Norma Nashid, founder of Restore a Child, has asked me to be an ambassador for the organization to help raise awareness of the plight of less fortunate children around the world. She asked me to write a poem for their newsletter, and I am sharing her FB post regarding it here with you.
(The poem below was written by Eileen Manassian Ghali, a professor of English at Middle East University in Beirut, Lebanon. She dedicated her poem this Christmas to Restore a Child. Her mother, Angel Dikran Manassian was my favorite teacher and my first teacher in school. Now I get the honor of enjoying the beautiful writing of her daughter, Eileen.--Norma Nashed)
If you are interested in finding out more about this humanitarian organization, please look them up on FB. I will be writing an article soon to highlight the plight of Syrian Refugee children in Lebanon. I hope my Mama would be proud of me!

My poem will be published in the next edition
A Poet , a dreamer , a man named Michael.
Named after my father and also a saint.
Drifting through time with my pen I paint.
Just a soul gliding in and out of God's cycle.
My name is known as the Godfather's last son.
Also a star who wore a little white glove.
But mostly just me who writes from love.
An Angel I'm not , but there's no harm in my fun.
Though I'm not Michael the second.
I tried to fill my dad's big shoes.
We coached together whether win or lose.
Such times imbedded in my heart as his son.
Now my own man and later in life poet.
I share my life in words to those who can't see me.
I hope to touch a few of those who read and feel me.
Each new write is another way for me to show it.
Now you have a clearer view of Michael your friend.
A confused life at times but now has found his sight.
With Rosanna by my side all is good, and life is just right.
I'm stronger for it all and never will this heart bend.

The drum beats silent
to the sound of my aching heart
He runs his callused hands across my olive skin
Bitter is my heart
As I lye quietly in my bed
dreaming of a life I may have had
If only I would have looked the other way
The road less traveled they say
My weakness was his gain
Come with me he whispered
let me show you the way
Now I lay choking on my blood wasting my life away
Who will save me now
Even God seems so far away.

We all hide in a persona fit for this masquerade.
No one in the night knows past the disguise,
How is it that I know you when I look in your eyes,
A stranger to this place, new to this private parade.
Dark is the colors of that three piece suit you wear,
A face hidden under the mask, dark eyelashes capture,
My lust for what I see, my body is shivered into rapture,
Tingles of an unusual kind infect me when in your eyes I stare.
Who is that man behind the mask, I hear your voice,
Like a snowflake melting in the sun stoked desert heat,
I am belonging to this stranger, moments after we meet,
Already surrendering, my body gives me no other choice.
The champagne licked lips are burning for yours to feel,
Pleasure upon pressure, lipstick red and all to willing,
Moments are just wasting in the time we are killing,
The chemistry is right, we're infused, spectacularly real.
My body moves the music, fitting right into your space.
Never had I felt arms so controlling and strong,
I am anxious to experience our own private song,
You wrap me up in your leather while I'm lost in lace.
I am getting high on the touch of your hands on my skin,
The rawness of primal pleasure in physical fitness,
This night, masked in a dreamlike fantasy, I witness,
An exotic night dressed and devoured as a harlequin.

Once we claimed it as our own, that lovely, special song;
No matter when, no matter where, we simply had to hear its sound.
Our hearts would melt, our love would rise, our feet would leave the ground;
But life goes on, your love has died; no longer, dear, do we belong.
That slow, slow dance, promising, 'You Were Always On My Mind';
You held me close and Willie's words, your lips would lightly sing,
Softly, quietly, in my ear, your love vows whispering.
No longer now, your love has fled, your promise left behind.
So now it's come, our dance is o'er; no more a life together;
Separate paths diverged before; one way I went, and you the other chose.
We waltzed apart, the music stopped, no more we hold the other close;
The storms of life, the silent songs, we simply could not weather.

You buy her a rose.
Make your way downtown only to find out through a text she wants to see other people.
You go to throw away your rose......but before you do, it hits you.
The flower is no less beautiful.
It smells just as heavenly.
The world still turns and you notice all the eyes on you and your beautiful flower....
What a lucky girl she must be they think.
What a lucky guy I am I think.
To hold such a elegant flower.
He leaves it on the train seat and leaves.

She really does...
She writes a lot about love,
crying, and
About someone dying.
She writes about flowers
In gardens,
Pretty crystal vases,
Gracing tables,
Layed out in lace.
Great Grandma wrote
Once, about my face.
She writes of the stars and
The moon,
Once dancing on it, as it smiled.
Said she wished she could have
Stayed a while longer,
But sunrise called,
Scattering through the
Morning woods.
Birds sang in mellow tones,
Ravens black, were seen
Soaring almost as high as eagles.
Robins are her favorite things,
Except for butterflies,
Which defy the idea that there is
Any creature more beautiful!
Greatgrandma wrote about the
Waves licking the shore.
I looked and looked for the
Dancing sun,
She said lingered.
She's writing now about
Some special thing.
I know this because always,
When she writes,
She sings.

Let me write….
Of hell and paradise
Of lover's compromise
Of dreams yet unfulfilled
Of how I love you still
Let me write….
Let me write….
Of longing for the end
Of people who pretend
Of desire to be free
Of changing destiny
Let me write
Let me write
Of passion's sweetest flow
Of serene afterglow
Of love that's make believe
Of my heart's need to grieve
Let me write
Let me write
My words show I am weak
My words, my chance to "speak"
My words can calm the pain
My words, my sun and rain
Let me write
Let me write
I need to bare my soul
I need to be made whole
I need to freely fly
I need these tears to dry
Let me write

I have not really stopped moving, other than to be sick (or "exercising my immune system," rather) for the past few weeks. I am in another town, again, today. We had a lovely time in Utah, but endured a whole lot of driving.
Two weeks ago, whilst in San Francisco, I met up with a colleague and friend of mine. She mentioned how several people I work with think of me as blunt, intimidating or otherwise unpleasant. When she said this, I experienced a moment of gripping panic, of disapproval, of wanting to scramble to make it up to these people, prove myself likable.
But that moment, that feeling of a bad child needing approval from some perceived authority figures, suddenly cleared. I felt at peace, I relaxed and smiled at my friend. I changed the topic. I actually finally don't care if people (namely opposing counsel) don't like me. Seriously. My clients like me and pay me well to be an intimidating, blunt, bitch who wins for them.
I know many people learn this lesson early on, in grade school -- that it's okay if not everyone likes me. I guess I'm a late bloomer but it really is liberating for me to be free of caring about that. This is a big deal for me, a breakthrough. No matter what stance you take, how diplomatically and compassionately you try to live your life, somebody, somewhere will be unhappy with your choices.
They won't like the way you look, what you wear, your chosen profession, the words you choose, your partner, the food you eat, the music you enjoy, your vices of choice, or, you know, the dozens of intimidating letters you keep sending, demanding justice.
Fuck them all, my dears. Love yourself, live boldly, take a stand, speak out, be strong and dance a little. Dance a lot.
(I am not blognoring you, really. I will catch up soon.)

Show Me the Money: They Still Believe in a Dog Called Hope
An Arizona coalition raises funds by auctioning the work of local artists

She'd been a stray so long that mange had rotted away nearly all her fur. Infections clogged her eyes, and part of her tail was missing.
Luckily, an Arizona State student visiting family in Mexico found the dog. The student had connections to the Phoenix Animal Care Coalition (PACC 911), which assists animal care organizations in the Phoenix area by hosting off-site adoptions and raising money for an emergency medical fund that assists approximately 80 rescue groups with veterinary bills for injured or sick animals.

Now that we seem to be past the talk of IF we'll get another round of QE2 from the Fed, what's left is HOW it will be conducted and WHAT size. Voting member Bullard is specifying his choice of process in conducting Plan C of their policy in a chat with reporters. He said he is for buying $100b to start after the Nov 2-3 meeting and see how it goes thereafter. He doesn't seem to want to put a cap on what will be ultimately spent and wants to play it meeting to meeting. He is for "small increments" in terms of the purchases and is not for a "big bang" of buying. Bullard thinks this process would give them the most amount of flexibility. On the discussion of targeting some level of inflation that others have mentioned, he believes it would "erode Fed credibility." The curtain on the next set of their Grand Experiment is just 13 days from being lifted and the rest of us await with hope, optimism, fear, and dread.

Thank you very much! Bill March 21, 2013 at 12:40 pm #111801 DevinModerator Hi Bill, It is most likely possible but it would be a customization we aren't able to assist with as that kind of customization is quite a bit beyond what we can do via support. Your best route would be looking into a freelance developer who could assist with that.

This is the first ever show, where a Bollywood actress is going to select her best match in front of the whole world. No doubt, before Mallika, many has tried their on-screen to find their match. But nobody has got a success in the same.

If you are in a search that how many Bachelors are going to take part into this reality show – The Bachelorette India – then here is the news! 30 contestants are going to participate here. They have to steal Mallika's heart by anyhow!
A recent promo has shown excitement in Mallika Sherawat's heart! Video has shown some of the contestants. They are indeed dashing and good looking, but Mallika is more surprised to see one of the contestant, you know why? because he is an old man. His name is Sudarshan. Well, is this a publicity stunt? You have to wait till 7th October then! Mallika was shocked!
In the recent promo, you can find many names among 30 contestants like – Jashn, a sikh by religion (Bachelor – 15), Jagjit, Manu, Rohit and many more. While shooting for the promo, Mallika got injured with a minor incident. Her entry was on a 2-wheeler, so when the bike accelerated, she fell down suddenly and moreover her saree got stuck into the wheel and torn. But the brave girl, shown her courage and stood up immediately.
Rakhi Sawant who first started her "Rakhi Ka Swayamwar", didn't tasted the success! After her, Ratan Rajput, who is now coming in a reality show Bigg Boss 7 was also much in news, but fell down after making an engagement with a Software Engineer – Abhinav Sharma. They both wanted to take the relation into marriage, but Ratan denied by saying their fate ('Kundalies'), didn't matched. So, they are just friends now! Oops! How can we forget Rahul Mahajan? He was the only one, who decided to get married to the girl he chosen. Their marriage is still successful!
But this show The Bachelorette India, is going to be huge than ever before, as Mallika of every heart is going to be coming on television soon in search of her perfect groom! Will she get her Prince Charming here on the show? or will it be the same as happened earlier with 2 TV personalities? The Bachelorette India, is an Indian show adopted from American show 'The Bachelor'. Rohit Roy is going to host this show.

This was my first Ace. It was a cold windy day at a local golf course where me and my friend went to just mess around. I'm 20 years old and have been playing golf for about 6 years now and I'm getting better. Over the summer i made my first eagle and i posted it on he, now im back with my ace. The craziest thing about this whole thing is the ball i got my eagle with is the ball i got my Hole-n-One with. Well I was on hole 6, 162 yards, with wind in my face i pulled out my 8 iron teed it up and just put a little draw on it. I hit it pure and didn't really see where it winded up. We walked around the green for like 5 minutes and he said just as a joke why don't you go look in the hole. So i did thinking i wouldn't see anything and low and behold there was my Pro V1 sitting there looking back at me, and i was so happy my friend ran up to the green to see. I was so happy i called the club house to tell them. Thats my Ace story.

I had my first hole n 1 at Greentree golf course on 9/23/11 in Vacaville ca 95687. It was on hole number 10 from 140 yards using a Titleist Pro V1 x. My friend said to send this e-mail to inform you Pro V1x are the only balls I use.

I'm 72 years old, played a lot of golf over last 50 years and never had hole in one. today there were 5 in our group and the 4th hit one 5 feet from hole, I was last hitter and said there's room between your ball and the hole. I hit a solid hi bred 3 into a strong wind on the no 5 hole which about 140 yards. It landed on the green and went by the other ball and into the hole.
October 17, 2011
I had my first hole in one today 10/28/2011. It was at Candler Hills Golf Club in Ocala Fl. It was on the eights hole par 3 Flag was back about 162 yards.The ball Titleist POV 1 hit the flag pin about a foot from the bottom BAM right in the cup.I used a four hybrid.I loved it but I had to buy alot of drinks. I think they should buy me .

i am 64 years old and a Viet Nam Vet. On 11/11/11 veterans day I got my first holr in one at Deer Ridge Golf Club in Brentwood, California. This will take 100 years to do again. I don't think I will be around for it. God Bless America.
November 14, 2011
Congratulations William! I hope you don't have to wait 100 more years. If so, you may have to move up a tee box or two. :-)

My 2 nd hole in one came the last day of the year that I golfed withsome friends at my local club and that was on 11-5-11, it was a 168 yards and I chose a 6 iron. What was so nice about this one was I could see it all happen because it was a down hill shot.
December 13, 2011
On May 16, 2011 I made my first Hole in One. I was on the second hole at Green River Golf Course in Corona, California, a Par 3 153 yards, I used my 5 rescue club. I tend to fade the ball when I use my rescue clubs so I started the ball to the left of the cup. I watched as the ball started left then faded slightly to the right landing about 10 yards short of the cup, to my and my friends' amazement the ball rolled into the cup. I had been golfing approx. 2 1/2 years at the time, I started two years after I retired, I never expected to get a hole in one. Some of the friends I golf with have been golfing 15 years or more and have never made a hole in one. Hopefully it will happen within another 2 1/2 years, yeah, sure.
December 14, 2011
First hole in one scored on October 15 with 6 iron to back left pin on on 189 yard No. 6 at Darcy Ranch Golf Club in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. I had been playing a solo twilight round on the same course just 3 weeks earlier and had missed an ace by 1 inch with the same club and with the flag in almost identical position. Had been a off year for me generally as I had a late start in 2011 having torn my Achilles tendon in the Winter. Interestingly, my friend Fred has now witnessed 5 hole-in-ones and not scored one of his own despite being a very competent single digit handicap player.
December 28, 2011
This was my first one, I play with the same 4 fellows three times a week .the wind was gusty this day the pen was in the back of green ,there is slope in the middle of this green the ball hit on the top of high part of this green and ran down into the back slope to the back placement of the pen there for unknown ware the ball had landed. What a nice surprise at the bottom of the cup. My pals all had hit a 6 Iron only to be long in the wind so I made the choice to go with my 7 Iron
because of wind that day and did not want to fly the green, Just a Great day and to turn a score of 81 in to boot. Golf is fun again. Q

Makes me regret the fact that I'm not drawing anymore. :(
Man, ever since it was revealed that Monet was Logia user, I was pissed like every one else was cause I really that it would be cool to see Robin fight her in an air battle. So to make everyone feel better, I had an acquaintance of mine, Darkeyez07, who worked with me on my Rokushiki Robin project on multiple occasions, make a sketch (for free of course) of a fight that could've been if things turned out differently.
A fight that could've happen if Robin was more of an up close hand to hand combatant and if Monet weren't a Logia user.
*Sigh* Well we can all dream, can we?

The waters along the Little River were rushing and rapid Tuesday afternoon, after a deluge added inches of water in local rain gauges.
The mountain communities of Walland and Townsend were the hardest hit in the county, with at least a dozen roads closed from high waters.
According to the Townsend Fire Department Tuesday afternoon, 18 homes along the Dark Island community are currently cut off from a nearby road, because of flooding. Those residents are safe, according to chief Don Stallions. Another four homes nearby were also isolated from the waters.
A Red Cross shelter has been set up to help anyone displaced from the storm at the
Tuckaleechee United Methodist Church, 7322 Old Tuckaleechee Rd., for
those living near the Little River who have been evacuated.

Michael Pisaro (feat. Julia Holter)
When one works with Michael Pisaro, it quickly becomes apparent that the man has an immense knowledge of various musical genres, despite his highly specialized compositional style. Although Pisaro is famous for his studies of silence as sound with the Wandelweiser collective, he's equally fascinated by gangster rap, Prince, harsh noise, and The Rolling Stones, among many, many other things. In some ways, I think that all of these disparate sources are perhaps unconsciously present in a lot of Pisaro's other works.
However, with Tombstones, Pisaro seems to address this part of his musical history in a much more explicit way. Tombstones is guided by two major ideas: (1) The question of "what happens to old political songs?" and (2) Taking "tiny fragments of old and not-so-old songs and [putting] them into an experimental music situation, introducing them to a kind of chaos, where the arrangement of the written-out material is up for grabs." In this way, Pisaro creates a kind of acoustic/compositional sampling, but this isn't a John Oswald-esque plunderphonics excursion. Nor is it Pisaro's attempt to make an overtly pop move. Instead, Tombstones works beautifully because it takes a hidden element of Pisaro's music and slyly pushes it ever so slightly into the foreground without sacrificing his aesthetic in the process. The result is a gorgeous deconstruction of both popular song form and a fascinating recontextualization of Pisaro's craft in the process. Mad props to Pisaro's ensemble (which prominently features the voice and harmonium of Julia Holter) for their great interpretation of this material.
After months of the initial limited run being sold out, Tombstones is available again from Human Ear Music or Experimedia. You can stream excerpts of the record below:

Fugue State
Synthesizer ingeniero and friend of evil robots Oxykitten has dropped a free album's worth of odds-and-ends on the Field Hymns Bandcamp. Righteously described as "killer but odd cuts," almost all 15 tracks on Fugue State clock in around two minutes, which basically makes it perfect by punk rock standards. Despite this brevity, Oxykitten maintains a consistent attention to detail. Some tracks seem perfectly suited for interludes to longer epics, while others seem to fit nicely into the score of a sci-fi B-movie that is also a romance, a musical, an inter-dimensional thriller, and a porno.
The best track on this tape by far is "Bubblegum Face," where halfway through the whimsical jammer some back-alley-robot scuzzball whispers "I'm going to rip your face off." I was surprised and honestly a little frightened. Like, I didn't do anything, and I wasn't expecting to get my face threatened while I was listening to this. A little later in the song, the robot says "I'm gonna put your face back on," so I'm not exactly sure whether he's being serious or not but whatever — I wouldn't risk potential face mutilation, you know?

After pumping out loads of purist vaporwave as MJ Linckoln and releasing abstract acoustic improvisations as Malibu Locals Only, the enigmatic producer is referred to as simply LINCKOLN on new ambient release N E P T U N E. Each track is named after a different moon that circles the freezing gaseous planet. From the flat and arid scenery on Despina, to the cold and windy climate of Galatea, to the treacherous rugged face of Larissa, to the icy terrain of Proteus, this digital drone tour of our neighbors on the edge of the solar system is a refreshing reminder of our current place in the universe.

Ritual Swing
Ohbliv has just released his April contribution, keeping pretty close to the one-release-a-month trend so far this year. This one swings much more toward the public television soundtrack side of the Ohbliv catalog, filled with soft drums and and shallow synth melodies. And that Ohbliv compression flattens everything and keeps it close. Like, I just worked 12 hours at this job that I don't particularly like and I just want this to ooze out of my speakers, not bounce around the walls.
Buy the 13-track Ritual Swing over at the Ohbliv Bandcamp page, work too much, and then see if this doesn't put you in a good place afterward.

Destroy This Place
Horror flicks are enhanced by their DIY qualities. Villains coldly striding through the quintessential axe-murder steps toward their hapless victims are always enhanced by face-obscuring masks — and the more DIY the mask (say, chocolate-colored papier-mâché Elk-monster?), the better. And no matter how fast you run, they still keep pace — even while walking…
All that Detroit's Destroy This Place seemed guilty of was reviving (while reinventing) the old American Underground indies of a certain shred-inclined, 1996-sanctified-era (Dinosaur Jr., maybe some Fugazi, or perhaps a Guided By Voices if it had its shit together and made sturdier, shit-kicking tunes standardized to three-minute pop stints), but our evil Elk doesn't seem to like that. Nope. Like Laurie Strode or Nancy Thompson or even Ethan Hawke, they've gotta go! Slashers, or Elk, or whatever ominous antihero, never need motives, really.
Turns out, as the grainy camcorder-flecked footage unreels, we find this man-like monster is actually a FAN of nervy riffs, fitful rhythms, and anthemic rawk-pop ballads. Private party in the eerie Elk loft! Come check it out!
The band's eponymous second album is out May 17 on Bellyache Records and features an array of low-chugging, kartwheeling, guitar-heavy kickers apt for spirited summertime road trips or breathless bike errands down to the local used vinyl shop. Destroy whatever place that suits you; get some aggression out with their rock-side of things; tear the wall down even. Then, let the sun shine in with their pop-side of things. Four out of five Elk Monsters approve.
