To earn a living, she is in the business of selling fish in a local market in the city. She has been engaged in this business since 2005 and she notes that she has many loyal customers. Noth's husband is a driver for a bus company, which allows him to earn a decent income but which causes him to be away from home most of the time.
Now, Noth is seeking her first loan from HKL and Kiva, which she will use to buy necessary construction supplies to expand her present house. She has already hired local construction laborers to perform this task. She plans on enlarging her present store because it is not large enough to operate her business out of. In addition, she will use the loan proceeds to ensure that her children receive a good education.
Additional Information
About HKLHattha Kaksekar Limited is one of the largest and most successful microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Cambodia. The organization provides microfinance services to the poor, particularly women, in urban and rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the outreach of HKL's financial services to a greater number of clients in rural areas of Cambodia.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

PRETTY FACTFULLI guess all Malcolm Gladwell's are full of facts. This guy has really done his home work. Non-Fiction has to be backed up by solid real examples and this book is full of that. (TIP: read the book at one go, reading it with intervals is not recommended, as you may forget the previous points). You really need to LEARN this book, ITS EXCITING SCIENCE!!
Raman Balyan
Feb 7, 2012
Some facts are pretty goodGladwell wrote a decent book. He gave very good reasons for some incidents in past why they tipped but when it comes to give solution of some problems today, he didnt mention any valid points. Its a worth to read for extensive readers but if you read rarely then this is not a book to read.

One point bookWell researched and presented book, the entirety of which is devoted to proving and expanding upon the central premise - that something achieves high visibility, or goes viral, only because of a small segment of highly social, well-connected, people. That's it. The rest of the book is devoted to explaining and proving that one statement, without bringing forth any new ideas. If the central theme interests you, it's a highly recommended book. If you're looking for a collection of ideas or broad ranging exploration, than the blurb on the product page is sufficient.

Excellent Book an Absolute Eye OpenerI would recommend this book to every one who is interested in understanding the dynamics of life. Its not just the business but the perception of a person about a situation which has to be changed. How can a small drop create an avalanche? This book explains how little changes and small incidents end up changing the world for good or better.
Jun 7, 2012
VERY LOGICAL,SMART BOOK"The world - much as we want to does not accord to our intuition".the book talks about how a little cue in the right direction is a far smarter and superior way than looking for comprehensive,dogged sollutons to problems.why is it that some things go over the roof,stick,become contagious? this book gives very pragmatic,logical explainations by incorporating examples from all walks of life. enjoy reading!

Takes you behind the scenes of how events become phenomenas. A very good read.Its a very good book but be warned its not everybody's cup of tea. You'll enjoy it immensely though if you by nature are curious and enjoy fresh ways of looking at things. In my opinion its a must read for college students and marketing professionals & enthusiasts.

A good start but gets lost midwayThe book starts with some really thought provoking concepts like the law of stickiness , connectors , mavens etc However, some of the exmaples stated were unable to supplement the concepts well.

The Tipping PointAs the name indicates,small changes or incidents can become significant enough to cause a larger, more important change.A must for understanding life and attaining a bit of wisdom.
Hakim Mani
May 9, 2014
ExplicitThe novelist has justified the tagline "how little things can make a big difference" in a very articulate way. The reader is able to understand the recondite subjects of how a wonted phenomena turns into an epidemic reaching the so called Tipping Point. The writer has provided an explicit knowledge of the 80/20 rules as well as the 150 rule which are the basis of modern management philosophy.
Apr 5, 2014
The tipping pointGreat read- it was a journey outside in- a must read. How you apply and relate is totally your perspective to things. The next best to The Icarus Deception. Will look forward to reading it again!

Can anyone help me??? I'm doing a paper on Eleanor Roosevelt. It's suppose to be on her worldview. Here's what the assignment says
For this assignment, the ideal resources would include:
A biography (book or even a website) or encyclopedia (such as from the GCU library's Credo Reference database) that would address the general information about the person's worldview and personal life.
A book, general article, or encyclopedia article that describes the general information about the worldview (e.g., an encyclopedia article that gives details about Atheism, Judaism, Hinduism, Humanism, etc.).
A reputable article that goes into more depth/specificity about one aspect of the worldview or person.
I have absolutely no idea on what her worldview is. She was a humanitarian (would this be it?) or does it mean her religious view? This assignment is for my christian worldview class so I'm not sure if I should be trying to find out her religion. Thanks for you help!

Members of the Senate banking committee are introducing bills to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These bills eliminate these institutions that provide the American taxpayers affordable interest mortgage loans and housing market stability. This will cause higher mortgage interest rates, affecting 20 percent of the economy. It also funds "affordable" housing, another attempt of redistributing wealth.
In 2008, the treasury backed FNMA and FMCC with $187 billion, as the "too big to fail" banks sold fraudulent assets to FNMA and FMCC. They have since paid back the Treasury more than $200 billion. The treasury will not release FNMA and FMCC from conservatorship, contrary to their 2008 agreement. In 2012, the Treasury changed the agreement to take 100 percent of their profits.
In violation of the Fifth Amendment, several bills in Congress eliminate stockholders of FNMA and FMCC. Millions of people who own FNMA and FMCC stock through pensions, 401(k)s, and mutual funds, will be affected.
Bills introduced by Congress have good intentions. It was Congress who liberalized the lending laws permitting the housing bubble and collapse. These bills reward banks that created the damaging effects to millions that lost their homes.
Encourage our representatives and senators to vote against these bills.
Mike Davis

"A Life on the Ocean Wave.........." Top 5 Page for this destination Lynmouth Things to Do Tip by johngayton
Lynmouth Things to Do: 9 reviews and 20 photos
...........well around the bay anyway!
I haven't actually been out on this yet but for a different viewpoint of the North Devon coast a trip up the Bristol Channel sounds like a good idea. The boat leaves Lynmouth harbour once a day at various times depending on the local tides and loops around the channel with commentary provided by the local skipper.
Address: Lynmouth Harbour
Directions: No contact details at moment but a walk down to the harbour should provide all the info needed.

Empty Words in Dome 'Rave Review' Adverts
Byline: CHRISTOPHER LEAKE
DOME organisers were under fire last night over a multimillion-pound bid to boost its plummeting number of visitors.
They admitted that a nation-wide TV and newspaper advertising campaign quoting apparently glowing reactions to the [pounds sterling]758 million project is somewhat economical with the truth.
The New Millennium Experience Company has placed large advertisements in national newspapers, including one today on Page 73 of The Mail on Sunday, reproducing media comments made in previews before it opened to the public.
It quotes The Daily Telegraph, for instance, as describing it as a 'Dome full of fun'. The description was, however, part of a longer headline, used on December 20, which read: 'Trite, glitch-ridden, but a Dome full of fun.'
The Sun is quoted as describing the Dome on December 15 - two weeks before the disaster-hit Millennium Night opening - as 'one of the wonders of the world'. …

Back in October, I ordered a Nashbar touring frame. At the time I ordered, the frame was out of stock with a mid-November estimated delivery date. I called today to verify my order status, and Nashbar claims that their new availability date is 12/27!!!
How likely is Nashbar to actually deliver my frame this year? Should I just cancel the order and buy another frame? What other frames can I get in the $200 range for touring? I **really** don't want to get into having to strip/paint a used frame.
I also want a frame with cantilever/V-brake mounts on the fork and seat stays, as I've already bought the brakes I intend to mount. 700c wheels are also a necessity as I've already got them.

Have you ever heard of a herring warden?
Project monitoring is an important part of river restoration work. A solid pre- and post-dam removal monitoring plan can provide you with a reliable foundation on which to build your project and to document its successes. American Rivers has committed to funding a small percentage of monitoring work on some of the projects we are involved in through our partnership with the NOAA Community-based Restoration Program.
The town of Plymouth, Massachusetts has been working on an amazing suite of restoration projects aimed at restoring the historic fisheries of Town Brook, and American Rivers is proud to be working with an array of partners to restore historic fish runs that once sustained America's earliest settlers. A key part of this project has been to hire a herring warden to monitor current fish populations on Town Brook.
If you're like me, you might be wondering what exactly a herring warden does and what monitoring entails. To get some answers, I recently spoke with Alison Barrett, Town Brook Herring Warden.
S: What exactly is a herring warden?
Alison:I am in charge of monitoring herring runs (both blueback and alewife) on Town Brook. This involves doing three 10-minute herring counts (morning, afternoon, and evening) to provide the partnership data on how many fish are in the system. There is also an electric counter at the site that gets checked daily.
S: How does the electric counter work?
Alison: The counter is placed at the top of the fish ladder and has sensors attached to it. When the fish go through the tube at the top of the ladder, they hit the sensors. Different sensors register whether the fish are migrating upstream or downstream. Also, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst has an underwater camera set up that even has infrared capabilities for night monitoring.
S: Speaking of the fish ladder, what specific site or sites are you monitoring?
Alison: While I'm monitoring the entire system, the primary site is the fish ladder at the Jenney Grist Mill. I also check the weir at the harbor and at the top of the Holmes Dam.
S: How many fish have you been seeing?
Alison: I've seen more than 20,000 this season. Last week, I was averaging roughly 400 herring per ten minute count.
S: How do you keep up, counting that many fish?
Alison: I have a clicker to help me keep count.
S: Do you monitor anything else?
Alison: Just water temperature at the top of fish ladder. I also note presence and absence of resident fish, such as large mouth bass.
S: What prompted you to take the job as herring warden?
Alison: I have lived here my whole life. My mom used to bring me to the brook to watch the herring runs. I'm now a biology major in college, and taking this job just seemed like the right fit.
Do you have questions about monitoring you'd like to ask? Feel free to post them in the comment section. Otherwise, stay tuned for future updates from the Town Brook monitoring front!


text: As things are felt and lived before any literary skill gives them form, there were plenty of incoherent uprisings with every characteristic of the General Strike, generations before Sorel's sombre genius turned them into a religion for mass-activity. It is the despised "intellectuals," now and in the past, who have furnished the effective formulas for the General Strike; as they adjusted the conception to present proletarian uses; as in the middle of the last century, one of the most brilliant journalists of Europe, Emile de Giradin, conceived of it as the one weapon against the third Napoleon. In Victor Hugo Histoire d'un Crime, in twenty lines that burn like a flame, the technique of the General Strike is given. He uses the very words "La Grève Universelle." The very term "folding the arms" (croisant les bras), which I have heard from I. W. W. orators, occurs in the passage. The poet appeals to society to create a "great emptiness" round this would-be despot, by cutting him off through the general boycott from every source of help. The picture is the more complete because a man famous in later days, Jules Favre, argued successfully in opposition by setting forth the same practical difficulties that have crippled most subsequent application of the General Strike, except for narrower and less ambitious ends.

Former French President Sarkozy Home, Office Raided By PoliceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2012 11:04 -0400
Things in broke Europe are becoming stranger by the minute. Stepping away from the Bank of England telling private institutions what to do, and overriding fiduciary responsibility, we now shift to France, but not in the context of the Second Great Socialist Revolution and its Fairness Doctrine annex, but to the home and office of ex-president Nicholas Sarkozy whose home and office where just raided according to Politique in connection with long-running allegations that his presidential campaign had been illegally funded by France's richest woman Lilliane Bettencourt. Do you see what happens Larry when there are no PACs and it is illegal for rich people to outright bribe politicians?
Germany Could Pull Out of the Euro Before Spain is Even "Saved"Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 06/21/2012 12:21 -0400
Months ago, I forecast that Germany will walk before it goes "all in" on the EU to prop up everyone else. I believe that day is fast approaching. Unless Angela Merkel wants to commit political suicide, she will be forced to protect Germany's domestic issues. Whether this comes as a result of Germany pre-emptively leaving the Euro or doing so after one of the PIIGS has already left remains to be seen. But in the end, Germany WILL WALK IF IT HAS TO.

As France Lowers Retirement Age, Germany Better Be Ready To Pay For Austerity's UnwindSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/06/2012 14:36 -0400
As noted earlier, Europe has been so obviously crippled by years of brutal austerity (which, as we pointed out before never actually happened), that it has had to experience the supreme indignity - a miserable two years of plunging flat GDP growth. Because under the old normal, it appears that unless one is issuing massive debt, pardon "growing", society grinds to a halt. Well, it appears that France has finally had enough, and as of today, "the French government approved a measure Wednesday that will lower the retirement age to 60 from 62 for a narrow group of workers, partly reversing unpopular pension reforms made by former President Nicolas Sarkozy as he sought to improve France's public finances." Obviously, this means that more welfare funding will have to be sourced as all else equal, this means less money will be produced by the country's workforce, and more money will be consumed by its retirees. Who will do it? Why German of course. Because after Merkel caved first on Greece, and then on Spain, it is now game over for German "prudence" and everyone will line up at the trough. Congrats Berlin: we can only hope you have discovered those magical money-growing trees. You will need them.

Here we go again. Back in July 2011 we wrote an article entitled "The Real Banking Crisis" where we discussed the increasing instability of the Eurozone banks suffering from depositor bank runs. Since that time (and two LTRO infusions and numerous bailouts later), Eurozone banks, as represented by the Euro Stoxx Banks Index, have fallen more than 50% from their July 2011 levels and are now in the midst of yet another breakdown led by the abysmal situation currently unfolding in Greece and Spain.... Although the last eight months have not played out the way we would have expected for gold, they have played out the way we envisioned for the banks. The question now is how long this can go on for, and how long gold can remain under pressure in a banking crisis that has the potential to spread beyond Greece and Spain? So much now rests on the policy responses fashioned by the US Fed and ECB, and just as much also rests on what's left of European citizens' confidence in their local banking institutions. Neither of these things can be precisely measured or predicted, but we continue to firmly believe that depositors in Greece and Spain will choose gold over drachmas or pesetas if they have the foresight and are given the freedom to act accordingly. The number one reason we have always believed gold should be owned, and why we believe it will go higher, is people's growing distrust of the banking system - and we are now there. We will wait and see how the summer develops, and keep our attention firmly focused of the second phase of the bank run now spreading across southern Europe.

The story of Facebook's disappointing IPO is a gripping tale, and it holds some valuable lessons. But it concerns an event that has already happened.

The situation in Europe is bad... How BAD? Well, France, Spain, and Germany have ALL implemented border controls. That's not a typo. Spain, France, and Germany can each close their borders for up to 30 days at any point if they so choose. Why are they doing this? Because they know that when the stuff hits the fan and the EU collapses (which it will in the next few months) people are going to attempt to flee with their money... so they have made it so that no one can get it... and no one can get out.

Guest Post: What Austerity?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/09/2012 17:43 -0400
By mainstream media accounts, the presidential election in France and parliamentary elections in Greece on May 6 were overwhelming verdicts against "austerity" measures being implemented in Europe. There is only one problem. It is a lie. First off, austerity was never really tried. Not really. In France for example, according to Eurostat, annual expenditures have actually increased from €1.095 trillion to €1.118 trillion in 2011. In fact spending has increased every single year for the past decade. The debt there increased too from €1.932 trillion €1.987 trillion last year, just as it did every year before. Real "austere". The French spent more, and they borrowed more. The deficit in France did decrease by about €34 billion in 2011, but that was largely because of a €56.6 billion surge in tax revenues. Again, there were no spending cuts. Zero. Yet incoming socialist president François Hollande claimed after his victory over Nicolas Sarkozy that he would bring an end to this mythical austerity: "We will bring back Europe on a track for jobs, growth and the future… We're no longer doomed to austerity." This is just a willful, purposeful distortion. What the heck is he talking about? Certainly not France.

No Guns for Pilots. (Dateline Washington)
Condon, Erin C., Consumers' Research Magazine
The director of the Transportation Security Administration, John W. Magaw, has rejected pilots' requests to be allowed to keep firearms in the cockpits of planes. As a result, members of each house of Congress have introduced legislation requiring the Transportation Security Administration to allow pilots to carry guns.
Pilots have lobbied for guns in cockpits since the September 11 attacks, arguing that lethal weapons are their best defense against hijackers.
The airline industry, on the other hand, opposes the arming of pilots. Air transportation officials say that the pilot's job is to fly the plane, and that armed air marshals serve to protect passengers and crews against hijackers. With more secure cockpit doors and better passenger-screening systems (see "The Consumers' Observation Post," page 7), guns in cockpits are not only unnecessary but also dangerous, say opponents of arming pilots. Guns can distract pilots and accidentally discharge, they say. Flight attendants also object to the idea unless they, too, can carry some type of weapon, reports the Washington Post.
The House bill proposes giving guns to pilots who pass voluntary firearms training.
In other aviation news, an advisory committee of the Federal Aviation Administration drafted rules for long flights over water and polar regions. For these challenging routes, twin-engine planes are required to meet strict safety regulations and carry advanced safety equipment; three- and four-engine models that fly identical routes are subjected to fewer safety regulations.
Also, standby fields used for unscheduled landings (27 in the past seven years) often are not properly equipped for emergency situations. Therefore, universal standards of safety have been proposed for engines, onboard fire-fighting equipment, communications equipment, and emergency landing strips. The codes are awaiting the approval of the FAA and foreign regulatory agencies.
Since all types of aircraft that fly over uninhabited terrain would have to abide by the proposed rules, expensive refurbishment would be in order for older United States-registered aircraft and the long-range, wide-body planes operated by foreign airlines, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Schering-Plough, found in violation of federal good-manufacturing standards, will pay $500 million to the U.S. Treasury to settle the charges with the Food and Drug Administration.
During recent inspections of four Schering-Plough plants in New Jersey and Puerto Rico, the FDA discovered manufacturing, quality assurance, equipment, laboratory, packaging, and labeling problems. The deficiencies involved overall manufacturing practices and quality control, but the safety and effectiveness of individual drugs were not necessarily compromised, say FDA officials. However, the drug maker has agreed to stop making 73 products, and to pay an additional $175 million to the FDA should manufacturing quality issues fail to get resolved.
Alternatives exist for all of the suspended drugs, such as the asthma medication, Proventil, decongestants Chlor-Trimetona and Afrin, and the generic, theophylline. Schering-Plough's remaining products are now subject to stricter FDA oversight; all medications in homes and on store shelves can be considered safe, reports the Washington Post. The settlement requires formal approval by a federal judge.
The release of toxic chemicals into the environment declined by 700 million pounds to a total of 7. …

Tony Rice's stepson killed in motorcycle accident
John Christian Scott, son of Tony and Pam Rice, died earlier today after a head-on collision while riding his motorcycle in North Carolina. Chris was airlifted from Burlington where the accident occurred to the hospital at the University of North Carolina, but passed en route.
Chris leaves behind his wife, Betsy, and four children, Aaron, Victoria, Levi and Donovan. He was Pam's son, Tony's step-son.
Surely the entire bluegrass and acoustic music world is devastated to learn of this awful tragedy, and will send Tony and Pam – and the entire Scott family – all the prayers and encouragement they can muster.

i don't think i'd ever stop playing any of the GENS just because new ones are coming out, i've actually only played Yellow, Ruby, FireRed, & Black 2...as you can see i've skipped multiple games because of what time does to one.. But I'm actually in the process of getting HeartGold, Diamond & Platinum to start my new saga in those games which im pretty thrilled to do, especially since Sinnoh is one of my favorite Regions (if it's not my overall favorite)..
So no i wouldn't quit ANY of the older GENS because new games are on the horizon

The Rocking Glass has a specially designed curved bottom, which allows the glass to tilt back and forth without the content spilling.
The rounded bottom also makes it comfortable to hold in the hand as you can both grip around the bottom or cradle it in your hand like a sphere.
Rocking Glass is a great conversation piece and is a fresh take on a traditional tumbler.
The glass is designed to be robust enough to hold both cool and hot drinks.
Use it for cocktails or as a decorative accessory. Or, do like they do at the MoMA café in New York and use it for that extra tasty dessert.

- - Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/electrical-systems/91968-elci-needed-if-ac-only-runs-gfci-outlets.html)
Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
Short version: 30A main breaker running to two branches. Each branch powers a GFCI outlet. Can I skip the ELCI?
Long version: I'm tearing out and replacing the AC electrical system on my boat.
I have a new AC panel (Tracker model 116516) that contains a 30A dual breaker, one 15A breaker for the battery charger, and one 10A breaker run to an in-panel GFCI outlet.
If I don't wire the battery charger directly to the panel but instead connect it via a new GFCI outlet on its branch, am I sufficiently protected so that I can skip installing an expensive ELCI breaker?
The boat is a 1975 Tartan 30C
Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
If you want to be ABYC compliant, you need the ELCI and I would advocate the GFCI as well.
Two different devices to deal with. The ELCI has been tested to work "better" in higher load marine environments....ie it should not trip as often as the GFCIs currently may do, especially on loaded, unbalanced systems.
Down side is they are expensive and larger devices to install, although some manufacturers are finally getting some quite small and boat power friendly. See Hubble.
Your boat, your decision...you may speak with your insurance company for further thoughts and actual events that may have lead to the approval by ABYC
Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
A GFCI won't negate the need for an ELCI once the standard is in effect and GFCI's will still be needed in galley, head, engine spaces and weather deck locations on top of the ELCI.
Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
This is the setup I was trying to describe.
[a: 30A Shore Power] ------------\
As I see it, the places where a ground fault are likely to occur are in (e) and things plugged into (g). Each of which come right after a 5ma RCD.
What would a 30ma RCD between (a) and (b) be protecting me from?
I could see the value in a more complex system containing enough branches to cumulatively exceed 30ma residual current without tripping any individual 5ma GCFI outlet or with any non-GCFI branches.
This is a legitimate question, I'm not trying to be difficult.
Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
Where did you obtain the Tracker 116516 panel?
It looks like a compact way of adding shorepower to a small boat.
NS22 Simple
Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
I found mine on either Boat Parts and Marine Supplies - Great Lakes Skipper or their ebay store. I don't recall. The products are the same, but the prices vary.

Bible lesson for Nov. 9
Bible Lesson
"The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt."
— Exodus 12:13
Before the first Passover, God declared, "On all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD" (Exodus 12:12). All the gods of Egypt, their priests, and Pharaoh had misled the Egyptians away from believing in the true God. Therefore, on the first Passover night, God judged the gods of Egypt, and all those who trusted in these false gods suffered for their misplaced faith.
Since a "mixed crowd" left Egypt with the Israelites under the leadership of Moses, perhaps some Egyptians had come to believe in the Lord and had put the blood of the lamb on their two door posts and lintel, too, so their families were saved from suffering when God judged the idols of Egypt (see Exodus 12:37-38). However, it may be that some Egyptians came to believe in the Lord after the Passover plague and decided to leave with the Israelites rather than remain in Egypt and live under the oppressive influence of false gods.
The Israelites who placed the blood of the lamb as a sign on their houses did so in faith. Though they remained inside their homes and could not see the blood on their houses, they trusted that the Lord would see and save them from death. Though believers today cannot see the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, they trust that "the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin" and "those who do the will of God live forever" (1 John 1:7 and 1 John 2:17).

We currently have two types of fantasy games for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL - PickTheWinner and PickTheSeries (Playoffs).
They are both Pickem style games where you compete against your friends by trying to predict the winner of each week's match ups. You can also double down on games, earn achievements, limit the number of games that participants need to predict, and more.
Create a league now and invite your friends!
The European Tour is staying in South Africa for the sixth edition of the Africa Open (this is a co-sanctioned event with the Sunshine Tour). The first playing (in 2008) was at the Fish River Sun CC in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape, South Africa. In 2009 the tournament moved to its current location, the East London GC, also on the Eastern Cape. Both the 2008 and 2009 versions were played as Sunshine Tour events only. In 2010, the tournament was included on the European Tour schedule. 156 players are in the field this week and will compete in three-ball/split tees for the first two rounds. (Note: Back nine groupings start off Tee No. 9 at this course).
Tournament Notes:
• The highest-ranked player in the field is #97- Sweden's Fredrik Andersson-Hed.
• Louis Oosthuizen – Winner in 2011 and 2012 is not in the field.
• Charl Schwartzel – Winner in 2010 is not in the field.
• Retief Goosen – Winner in 2009 is not in the field.
• Shaun Norris – Winner of this event in 2008 (when it was at the Fish River Sun CC) is in the field.
• Course measures only 6,691 yards on the card and is played as a par 73 (37-36) so scoring should be low; (last year Oosthuizen with a winning total of -27. The two prior years: -16, -20).
Names to Watch (Odds):
• Thomas Aiken (17/2)
South African is the odds-on favorite. Aiken is coming off a T6 at last week's Joburg Open (closing in 66-66) and has placed in the Top 15 in each of his last three trips to East London including runner-up in 2010.
• Jaco Van Zyl (14/1)
South African is coming off a T11 at Joburg last week. Great course form here with back-to-back T4's in 2011 and 2012 so look for Van Zyl to be in the mix come Sunday.
• Ricardo Santos (16/1)
Hailing from Portugal, Santos is lighting it up with three Top 10s in his last four starts: 4, T22, T7, T3. Only one previous visit here (in 2012) resulted in a MC so that is a drawback.
• Magnus Carlsson (22/1)
Last event was back in December (T18 at Alfred Dunhill Links) so rust could be a factor here. However, hard to argue with his results ending 2012 with three straight Top 20s culminating with a T6 at the SA Open Championship. T10 here a year ago.
• Keith Horne (33/1)
South African coming off a T6 at Joburg last week closing with a final round 65. Horne has played in all six events here finishing 21st or better four times.
• Darren Fichardt (33/1)
South African coming off T25 at Joburg last week. Three times a winner on the European Tour including the Saint-Omer Open in 2012. Runner-up here in 2009.

Martin, William McChesney, Jr.
William McChesney Martin, Jr., 1906–98, U.S. banker, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (1951–70), b. St. Louis. After an early career as a stockbroker, Martin became (1938) the first salaried president of the New York Stock Exchange. He served in World War II and then held high-level positions in the Export-Import Bank, the U.S. Treasury Dept., and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. President Harry Truman appointed him chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in 1951, and he held the position under six successive administrations until his retirement. Favoring a "hard money" policy, Martin fought to keep the Federal Reserve System independent of political control, and he opposed excessive expansion of the monetary supply, which he considered a major cause of inflation. He is considered the creator of the modern, independently operating Federal Reserve. He reentered private business after 1970.

De stelhoeve is een prettig, kleinschalig park met leuke vakantiehuisjes. Huis erg functioneel, netjes en smaakvol ingericht. Leuk voor kinderen (onze kinderen vonden het prachtig om aan de overkant van de dijk (5 min lopen) kreeften etc te zoeken). Prima te doen met 5 personen!
Schöne, saubere Unterkunft. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Nette, kleine Wohnung mit allem drin, was man braucht.
Super mit dem Zug zu erreichen und in sehr schöner alpiner Umgebung.
Perfekt zum Wandern von der Haustür aus.
Gerne wieder.
Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.
Muy buen apartamento cerca de Puerto Banus. Ideal para cuatro personas
Lägenheten var fin och hade ett bra läge. Det enda negativa var att bäddsoffa och köksstolar var mycket slitna.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)
Netter Kontakt
Saubere FeWo
FeWo wie beschrieben
Gerne wieder!!
Wohnung ok. Nur Duschkabine renovierungsbedürftig.
Die Wohnung entsprach genau der Beschreibung und alles war sehr gut.
Einziges kleines Manko war die fehlende Halterung für den Duschkopf.

Overwhelmed? 3 Ways To Break through!

Slowly, at least for this rapid-paced digital age, the innocent snapshot has been making the Internet rounds, with bloggers, fans and media members throwing in their commentary.
And finally on Thursday afternoon, it made its way north to Stillwater, with a few OSU players (LB Jeremiah Tshimanga and WR Josh Stewart) chiming in on the revealing outfit worn by their rival.
"What is Kenny Stills wearing ?… SMH, I don't want to know why ..I guess that's what they do at OU," Tshimanga tweeted (and later deleted), with the picture attached.
Josh Stewart added this comment to the Tshimanga tweet.
And minutes later, presumably responding to the OSU players and a few other Internet jokes, Stills tried to set the record straight with this tweet.
In the end, it's just some innocent trash talk common around this time of year, with summer workouts dragging on and college kids looking for things to keep themselves entertained.
Last year, the Bedlam foes were arguing about the merits of Justin Blackmon and Ryan Broyles through Twitter. This year, they are sharing opinions on wardrobe.

Tom Hanks Acts Out All of His Movie Roles in 8 Minutes on 'The Late Late Show'
For me, Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of our time. His versatility is second to none.
For me, Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of our time. His versatility is second to none.
Tom Hanks looks like he would be such a nice guy, don't you think? Those in Hollywood say that Tom is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. In fact, readers of Reader's Digest voted Tom Hanks the 'Most Trusted Person in America' earlier this year.
The Oscar Awards are a couple of weeks away and if movie goers could vote on who'd win the Oscar in the category for best actor, it would definitely go to...
Saturday Night Live is always good for a laugh, especially during an election year. So this past Saturday night, SNL didn't disappoint. If you caught the skit on the Presidential debate you'll have a good laugh again, if you didn't catch it, you'll have a great laugh now!
Wanting to look his snazziest for his upcoming segment, Tom Hanks interrupted David Letterman during the monologue on Tuesday night's 'Late Show' and asked if they could swap clothing.
"I'm not really feeling great about this outfit," said Hanks. "Hey, will you trade jackets with me?"
What's a guy to do when he's trying to promote a movie on station which is broadcast in a language he doesn't really speak or understand?
Well, if you're Tom Hanks, and you're appearing on Univision in support of your upcoming film 'Larry Crowne,' you simply get past all of the awkward attempts at translation and start speaking the international language of dance.
You may have already seen this mock pageant piece done by Tom Hanks and Jimmy Kimmel, but I keep on hitting the replay button.
This is just dang funny...
