Harry's Seventeenth Birthday
At breakfast, [Harry] receives his birthday gifts - a [Sneakoscope], a new razor, chocolates, [Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes] merchandise, and a watch from [Mrs. Weasley] that he sincerely appreciates.
[Harry] begins to head upstairs with [Ron] and [Hermione] but is interrupted by [Ginny], who asks him into her room. There she gives him a birthday present - a kiss that makes Harry forget the weight that is on his shoulders - until they are interrupted by Ron, and Harry is forced to walk out.
Out of range of [Ginny]'s ears, [Ron] turns on [Harry] and demands to know what he was doing kissing her - and Harry promises that he won't do it again.
The [Order of the Phoenix] celebrates [Harry]'s birthday in the backyard of the [Burrow], with decorations by [Hermione] and [Mrs. Weasley] (complimented by Harry and [Ron]). There [Hagrid] remembers Harry's eleventh birthday, gives him a [mokeskin pouch] as a birthday present, and learns [Norbert] was a girl - but the dinner is interrupted by the news of [Rufus Scrimgeour]'s impending arrival, leading [Lupin] and [Tonks] to depart.
[Arthur Weasley] and [Scrimgeour] arrive, and Scrimgeour asks to meet with [Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione] in private.
Scrimgeour Brings Dumbledore's Bequests
Inside the [Burrow], [Scrimgeour] gives [Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione] the items bequested to them by [Dumbledore] - a [Deluminator], [The Tales of Beedle the Bard], and Harry's first [Golden Snitch]. He refuses the final bequest, though - the [sword of Gryffindor]. Harry's anger over this infuriates Scrimgeour, who all but attacks Harry until [Arthur] and [Molly] walk in, and he departs.
With [Scrimgeour] gone, the group wonders why [Dumbledore] left the items he did to [Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione], passing them around the dinner table. Finally, the party ends and everyone heads to bed, with Hermione planning to meet Ron and Harry in their room after everyone is in bed.
In [Ron]'s room late at night, he, [Harry], and [Hermione] wonder why [Dumbledore] left them the items he did and discover the words "I open at the close" written on Harry's [Snitch]. Hermione also learns that her new book is one of children's stories, before the trio finally heads off to bed.
Bill and Fleur's Wedding
Along with [Ron], [Fred], and [George], [Harry] (in disguise as [Barny Weasley] helps escort guests into [Bill] and [Fleur]'s wedding. Among others they sit [veela] cousins, [Tonks], [Lupin], [Hagrid], the eccentric [Xenophilius] and [Luna Lovegood], the ever-insulting [Auntie Muriel], and to Ron's surprise, [Viktor Krum]. Finally they seat themselves as well, and the wedding begins.
[Arthur], [Molly], and the [Delacours] are seated, and the wedding begins. [Bill] and [Fleur] are bonded for life under a shower of stars and balloons, and the party is asked to stand so the tent can be converted into a reception hall.

The chemical interactions of hydrophobic organic contaminants with soils and sediments may result in strong binding and slow subsequent release rates that significantly affect remediation rates and endpoints. In order to illustrate the recalcitrance of chemical to degradation on sites, a sorption mechanism of intraparticle sequestration was postulated to operate on chemical remediation sites. Pseudo-first order sequestration kinetics is used in the study with the hypothesis that sequestration is an irreversibly surface-mediated process. A mathematical model based on mass balance equations was developed to describe the fate of chemical degradation in soil/water microcosm systems. In the model, diffusion was represented by Fick's second law, local sorption-desorption by a linear isotherm, irreversible sequestration by a pseudo-first order kinetics and biodegradation by Monod kinetics. Solutions were obtained to provide estimates of chemical concentrations. The mathematical model was applied to a benzene biodegradation batch test and simulated model responses correlated well compared to measurements of biodegradation of benzene in the batch soil/water microcosm system. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the effects of several parameters on model behavior. Overall chemical removal rate decreased and sequestration increased quickly with an increase in the sorption partition coefficient. When soil particle radius, a, was greater than 1 mm, an increase in radius produced a significant decrease in overall chemical removal rate as well as an increase in sequestration. However, when soil particle radius was less than 0.1 mm, an increase in radius resulted in small changes in the removal rate and sequestration. As pseudo-first order sequestration rate increased, both chemical removal rate and sequestration increased slightly. Model simulation results showed that desorption resistance played an important role in the bioavailability of organic chemicals in porous media. Complete biostabilization of chemicals on remediation sites can be achieved when the concentration of the reversibly sorbed chemical reduces to zero (i.e., undetectable), with a certain amount of irreversibly sequestrated chemical left inside the soil particle solid phase.

Our external physical condition is often an indication of our internal character and the prevailing personal issues that plague the United States of America and the world. Over 66% of adults in the USA are overweight, and if Americans continue to gain weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent obese. To reverse such tragic trends, we need to identify the causes and rectify the internal issues that have led us down this unhealthy path. It is obvious that our choice is simple – fat or fitness. The choice is ours and ours alone, and is actually a series of choices, from what we eat for breakfast to how much we eat for dinner, how much time we spend sitting in front of the television, how often we exercise each week, and a myriad of daily decisions that determine our physical destiny, or should I say, density.
Some may be offended by the bluntness of these comments, but someone needs to be sounding the alarm. The physical condition of America and the world is rapidly deteriorating and it's time for us to individually and collectively decide to do something about it. No one wants to talk about it because it is not 'politically correct' and it makes people feel uncomfortable, but we must face reality before it's too late. Fat is fatal and is also an indication of some internal character traits that have overtaken us individually and are destroying us sociologically and economically. These character traits are also fatal, not only physically, but economically; not only regionally, but globally. It's time for a fitness revolution that begins with our physical condition and impacts every area of our lives, and transforms our worlds.
Our national lack of physical fitness is caused by a deficiency of personal discipline; an obsession with comfort, entertainment, and immediate gratification; a mindset of entitlement that wants what it wants 24/7; and an aversion to anything that makes us work up a sweat or sacrifice ourselves today for something beneficial in the future. These same character traits are also responsible for our lack of financial fitness, fiscal responsibility, and political accountability. If we begin to learn and exercise discipline and responsibility in our physical lives, it will be easier to apply these same virtues to all of the other areas of our lives.
Sociologically and economically, it seems like our entire world is built upon the business of 'unfitness'. The foods that are manufactured are often filled with unnatural ingredients that actually promote the production of fat in our bodies. Our study and work schedules are filled to the brim so that we only have time for 'fast foods' that continue the development of fat and unhealthiness in our lives. The media is constantly bombarding us with images that entice us to eat and drink more. The pharmaceutical companies thrive off of our unhealthiness, which promotes their research, marketing and sales to promote the longevity of our painfully unhealthy lives. Finally, the long-term care industry continues to develop to take care of the older generation that can barely walk or carry on the physical activities of normal life. It appears that from the cradle to the grave there is a continual life conspiracy against us. It's time that we rose up and changed our lifestyle. If enough of us decide to do this, we can change our lives and can change our world.
The fitness revolution presents us all with the challenge of taking care of our bodies and our health. We need to tear ourselves away from the TV, computer and dining room table a few hours each week to add years onto our lives. We need to drop the death wish and pick up some weights. We need to stop walking back to the fridge and go out to run a few miles. Rather than sitting alone in our rooms, we could join a community doing Yoga, Pilates, or Zumba. We need to start taking care of the one body that we have been given for life. Many of us take better care of our cars, houses and yards than we do our lives. The truth is that we must live the rest of our lives in the bodies that we have until they give out on us. This reality ought to change our mindset and our life habits before it's too late to reverse the damage done.

Update, 9 a.m. EDT: According to Kathimerini, the Greek port authority said that "The Aegean Pearl sustained minor damage from the jolt, while the larger Maltese vessel emerged relatively unscathed." Aegean Pearl has headed to Neorian Shipyard on Syros for repairs. The ship will be out of service for a week. Stay tuned.
Two cruise ships have collided in Greece's main port of Piraeus, Athens, this morning, causing damage but no injuries.
The International Herald Tribune and the Athens News Agency are reporting that Spanish-based Pullmantur ship Zenith with 1,819 passengers onboard, hit the Greek-flagged Aegean Pearl, with 504 passengers onboard, as it was manoeuvring to dock in the port.
The Merchant Marine Ministry has said that nobody was injured but the port authorities were not allowing the ships to sail until the damage was assessed. Passengers remain onboard the ships.
We'll keep you posted when we learn more.

Ben Tate
5'11 | 220 pounds | RB | Auburn
Acceleration/Burst/Quickness: Shows good burst and quickness. His 10 and 20 yard splits are impressive- 1.49 10-yard dash and 2.52 20-yard dash. Quick forward and laterally. Can change direction quickly and effective. Cuts on his toes and doesn't let his feet go dead.
Ball Protection: Has put the ball on the ground more than you like. Covers well running through the hole, but can get loose at the second level.
Elusiveness/Feet/Agility: Is quick and shifty. Good lateral agility shown on tape and in workouts. Churns his feet to power through tackles. An underrated athlete.
Pass Catching: A very underrated receiver out of the backfield. Has capable hands and runs crisp routes. Is a natural receiver.
Pass Blocking: Improved as a senior, but is not an accomplished blocker. Tate has the build to improve, with a thick lower body and big hands.
Power: The prototypical I-formation running back. Is a good inside runner. Is not afraid to lower his shoulder and go at a defender. Can run through arm tackles. Is a very active tackle breaker.
Size/Length/Hand Size: Thick legs with great lower-body strength. Has ideal size for a starting NFL running back. Good hand size helps with excellent receiving skills.
Speed: Great timed speed at the NFL Combine (4.34). Is shifty and quick in the open field. Has had no trouble running away from defenders in the best defensive conference in college football- the SEC.
Vision/Balance/Running Instincts: Is a true downhill runner. Excels in a one-cut system. Will lower his pads and fight for yards, but has the speed to break away from defenders. Keeps his eyes up and looking for seems. Good agility and acceleration. Balance is only average and can be knocked off his feet. Has potential as a goal-line back.
Final Word: Despite starting only two games as a junior, Tate almost entered the 2009 NFL Draft. His senior season proved to be his best, with 10 touchdowns and over 1,300 yards rushing for the Tigers. Tate has serious ability, and has shown he can excel in an NFL system. Best suited for a one-back system, Tate could be a premium target for teams running a zone blocking scheme.

Lately, I've been trying to practice more on my weak side, my left. What I've found is that doing something on my weak side forces me to focus on what I'm doing, but in a different way, and helps improve my right side performance while (eventually) improving my left.
In judo, ideally I like to practice about 25% of my uchikomi on my left side. It makes me think about what I do on my right side and repeat it without the aid of superior coordination or muscle memory. The thought process goes something like this: "normally, I would have this grip with my left hand, and pull at this angle, while stepping with my right foot." "So now, take the same grip but with the right hand this time, pull at the analogous angle, step with the left foot." My right side technique gets more out of this uchikomi regime than it gets out of doing all of the reps on my right side. Over time, my left side even gets better too! I have found that because I can't just power through the technique on my weak side, or compensate for inferior technique with superior coordination or muscle memory, in some ways, I sometimes have better overall technique with my left side. My left-sided osoto gari is probably technically superior to my right, even though I overwhelmingly perform the technique on the right and am "stronger" with the right-side attack. I've noticed the same thing in other sports. My left-side tennis backhand, e.g., is technically superior to my right backhand, even though my ride side is stronger and the one I use.
As far as actual randori or competition, I am aware of two competing schools of thought on how to approach a left-handed player, and although they are mutually inconsistent, I find both compelling. The first is that a right-handed player should not switch to left to fight a lefty. You don't want your opponent to dictate the game and turn you around. You should instead seek to impose your game on them. I think there is a lot that's correct about this line of thought. The other approach is to switch to left when fighting lefties. The reason is simple. Left-handed people aren't any more used to fighting lefties than anyone else is. Overwhelmingly, lefties fight right handed players kenka yotsu (asymmetrical/opposing grips). Switching to the left puts lefties out of their comfort zone. Although I don't think either of these approaches is wrong, I seem to have more success with the latter. I think fighting a lefty with a standard right-side grip is playing his game (kenka yotsu) while not playing mine (not used to kenka yotsu). Playing left may not be my game either, but it can get better with practice, and at least it takes my opponent out of his comfort zone.
I did not practice much on my left side before I was promoted to Shodan, and I kind of regret it. The main obstacles for me were patience and ego. As far as patience, judo is hard. Throwing people is hard. I always felt fortunate to perform a technique correctly and get it to work. Switching to my left side seemed too daunting, like too much of an uphill struggle when I was already struggling – too much like starting over from scratch. Ego also played a role because I didn't want to look completely incompetent. "I am, after all, a green/brown/black belt. I don't want to look like I don't know anything. What will people think?" Nowadays, judo is still hard, and I still don't want to look incompetent, but I am a little more patient, care a little less about how I look, and am looking forward to developing more skill on my left side.

This recipe makes great for some appetizers or finger foods to offer to your guests. A pinwheel is more of a child's toy that looks like a windmill, and due to the fact that in cooking the end effect is of a round shape that turns in itself; like a windmill.
The olives are a typical staple in the Mediterranean diet, as the olive tree also known as Olea europae, is found in the Mediterranean Basin which goes from Portugal to Israel and it is also found in the Arabian Peninsula which includes North East Africa and the east o China, and finally it is found as well in the Canary Islands, Mauritius and Réunion. The color of the olives depends on when they are picked, hence when they are black they are fully ripe, and the black olives in this recipe give it a good zing of flavor.
The following recipe makes for about 8 servings and it takes about 15 minutes to prepare and less than 20 to bake.
Ingredients and Items Needed:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry sheet
1 egg
1 jar of seedless black olives
2 tablespoons of oregano (preferably fresh but dry is fine too)
½ cup of flour
1 bag of shredded Italian cheeses
1 tablespoon of water
2 baking sheets
1 sharp knife
Food processor (optional for olives)
1 medium or small bowl
1 fork
Cooking brush
1 oven safe pan
- First take out the pastry sheet and let it thaw for about half an hour
- Pre-heat oven at 400 Fahrenheit degrees
- Beat the egg for a minute with a fork and add a tablespoon of water
- If olives are not crushed, process them for a minute or two in the food processor until they make a paste
- Brush the egg mixture on the pastry sheet (but keep some aside)
- Spread the pastry with the olive paste
- Add the cheese and the oregano evenly on top of it
- At this point, start at the short end and roll the pastry sheet to form a log shape
- Cut the log with the knife into about half inch long slices
- Lay the slices on 2 baking sheets and brush the top with the egg mixture that you put aside
- Put in oven and bake for about 18 minutes
- Let the pinwheels cool for maybe 7 minutes before serving

Kevin Harvick dominated the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway Sunday where he led 224 of the 312 laps and held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win in only his second start for Stewart-Haas Racing. The win was Harvick's fifth at Phoenix.
Harvick, who moved to SHR this year from Richard Childress Racing, climbed to fourth in the championship standings and came one step closer to claiming a spot in the 2014 post-season championship chase. This is Harvick's first victory and first top-10 finish in 2014.
Speaking to the media after the race, Earnhardt said he was not surprised that Harvick did not slip up during the multiple restarts at the end of the race.
"He's not a rookie," Earnhardt said of Harvick. "Guy's been around a long time, knows what he's doing. He's won some races here. He feels good and confident about what he's doing here. He won last year here. When you're winning at a place with regularity in recent months, you got a lot of confidence. He wasn't going to be rattled by anything. I would have had to get to his bumper under green to try to get him loose or do something like that, which I might have been able to do. We just ran out of laps He was going to be very, very, very hard to pass. I knew that."
Earnhardt leads the point standings by 6 points over Brad Keselowski, who finished third.

LONDON -- While London
is less than enthusiastic about George Bush's visit this week, it
was a different story for the Martha Graham Dance Company. People
flocked into the historic Sadler's Wells theater Wednesday from
the tense atmosphere on the streets to lose themselves in Martha
Graham's renowned emotional landscapes. Graham had a huge influence
on dance in the UK and directly inspired the founding of London
Contemporary Dance School in the 1960s, so her work has a very special
place in the hearts of London dance as well as non-dance audiences.
After all the company's trials and tribulations of recent years,
it was heartening to see the dancers looking fresh and strong as
they took us on a journey back into dance history.
During this second program,
which included "Appalachian Spring"(1944), "Deep Song" (1937), "Satyrical
Festival Song" (1932), "Lamentation" (1930), "Heretic" (1929), "Errand
into the Maze" (1947) and "Maple Leaf Rag"(1990), the audience laughed,
cheered or sung along to the music. Appreciation was given in buckets
for this eclectic, full program, which provided the Graham novice
with a tour round the terrain of her work.
I always feel that Graham's
work is best seen in the form of her solos, and when its content
is emotionally tortured rather than light. This was true Wednesday
as well, although the very stylized "Maple Leaf Rag," a group work,
had some fascinating moments. The magnificent, statuesque Katherine
Crockett adds a surreal Felliniesque quality to the light-hearted
dance banter, as she purposefully and repeatedly swirls across the
stage. The 'comic' "Satyrical Festival Song" is an interesting reminder
of '30s European parody dance with its exaggerated mime-like aesthetics,
and is sharply performed by the theatrical Blakeley White-McGuire.
Outstanding performances
were given by the artistic directors, Christine Dakin in "Deep Song"
and "Terese Capucilli" in Heretic. I couldn't help feeling that
they really embodied the intensity of Graham's inner turmoil in
their mature experienced bodies. Nothing can be 'faked' in Graham's
language and it is very hard to reconstruct the fears and psychological
demons that possessed the choreographer herself and which fueled
so much of her work. Dakin clinging onto a stark bench in absurd
but genuine desperation and lying underneath it rigid in a famous
Graham contraction presents an extreme image of suffering, while
Capucilli conveys a gut-wrenching angst in her movement. With the
chorus of black-clad women flanking her flailing movements, together
they recall the raw expressionism of German choreographer Mary Wigman.
Another influence in
Graham's work and one that she conveyed well was Greek Myth. "Errand
into the Maze" is loosely based on the story of Ariadne and the
Minotaur, but the stronger subtext is one of a woman conquering
her sexual fears. The stage sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are as famous
as the 'primitive' costume of the Minotaur, which consists of horns
attached by wire and held in place by the performer's teeth, and
a stick across his shoulders which wedges his arms wide apart. His
open, erect positions contrast dramatically with the woman's closed,
defensive, caved in movement vocabulary. The woman, in this case
Alessandra Prosperi meets the phallic leaping Minotaur (Christophe
Jeannot), and their dance is a clinging, writhing violent portrayal
of sexual and psychological struggle. Fortunately, as in most of
Graham's work, girl power triumphs and the woman deals with her
fear, returns to the light and regains her equilibrium after some
pretty harrowing moments. The piece, together with its pounding
music score by Gian Carlo Menotti is a breathtaking masterpiece,
brilliantly interpreted by the dancers. Dance doesn't get more dramatic
than this. In fact at times Graham's work is decidedly melodramatic,
but gets away with it because it's contained within the very stylized
When I was reflecting
on how relevant this choreography is today, and whether it has become
too much of a watered down imitation of the original, I came to
the conclusion that it does still work for us in the 21st century.
What is important about the Graham repertory is that it was modern
dance of the 20th century, which was able to convey a deep physical
reaction to key episodes of human suffering of the time, for example
the Spanish Civil War and World War II. For our 21st century world,
while the language and look of the work is charmingly dated, the
emotional pathos is still relevant as human suffering only increases

Office phone: (920) 424-4425 Class Location: ACW18 & Theatre Labs
Email: email@example.com Class Meets: Tues and Thurs: 1:20-2:50pm
Office Location: ACW119 Office Hours: By appointment
READING ASSIGNMENTS and MATERIALS:
- READ THIS SYLLABUS and understand what is included within it.
- There are no required texts for this class. Reading assignments will be distributed in class or posted on D2L that will relate to the work we are exploring in class.
- Please bring a small spiral notebook reserved for use in this class only. It is for writing down exercises and personal observations-about your process and the process of the group. You will keep an ongoing record of the improvisational work that we create. Bring it every day as part of being prepared for class.
- When creating the performance assignments, researching topics of interest will require additional reading depending on the project.
- No required texts for the class.
- Near the start of the semester, a brief schedule overview will be distributed and/or posted.
- The goals are to build an ensemble of actors who are comfortable working together in a creative process and exploring a variety of improvisational theatre strategies.
- The main objective of the course is to use the strategies and tools explored to begin the process of creating and developing performance pieces.
- I have a structure in place for the class. I will allow you partial ownership in what we do as the semester unfolds. We will discuss this in class. I am approaching the course as an acting seminar made-up of multiple units covering a variety of processes and information.
Both informal and formal improvisational strategies will be implemented as a part of this process. Second City Improvisational strategies as developed from the work of Viola Spolin and Paul Sills will provide much of the focus for this work. Contact Improvisation will be introduced as a tool to highlight the other improvisational strategies. Historical contexts of improvisation will be introduced as well. You will utilize these tools to develop original performance pieces as an individual and within groups.
You will be performing, observing others perform or assisting with improv workshops that take place both on and off-campus. I am trying to find a time for us to work with local high school students. Most workshops will be scheduled during our regular class time. There may be several that are scheduled at other times but will be scheduled around the availability of class participants.
- Commitment: Don't worry about doing something right or wrong – explore and enjoy!
- Attend class regularly and punctually!
- Be dressed appropriately and ready to work at the beginning of class. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. We will be doing improvisational movement activities and floor/mat work. Footwear: bare feet, socks or tennis shoes.
- Complete assignments on time.
- Participate in class activities and exercises with a sense of discipline and commitment.
- Participate in discussions. Have opinions about what you have read. Have opinions and make observations about your work and the work of others in the class.
- All electronic devices must be turned off - phones, laptops, iPads, etc. In case of an emergency the theatre office can serve as a contact number which is 920-424-7042 or contact campus security. There will be times when I will let you use electronic devices as a tool for an assignment. I will announce this in class.
- No eating or gum chewing. They interfere with the actor's instrument. Water is the only beverage allowed in class but it must be in a water bottle with a closeable top to prevent spilling.
- There will be a brief break provided each class session to get water and use the rest room.
- If you have a concern about any aspect of the class, please make an appointment to meet with me so we can discuss it and address it.
- Treat others in the class, the professor and yourself with respect at all times. There will be no tolerance of any form of harassment including racial or sexual in nature.
- Academic honesty and integrity is expected at all times. Plagiarism or other cheating will result in a zero on the assignment and appropriate official steps will be taken as determined by university policies.
- Attendance is required and you are expected to be on time. Participation is an integral part of the work being done for this class.
- Three absences are allowed for emergencies including: illness, family illness, death in the family, etc. Do not use an absence to attend an advising meeting or because you don't feel like coming to class-students seem to always get sick or have something crop up for which they do actually need that allowed absence. Please email me if you won't be in class because due to the nature of the class absent students can affect what I have planned for a given day or if you are working with a partner or group, I can let them know your status.
- For each additional absence after 3 absences, 20 points will be subtracted from your total number of semester points earned as well as 20 points from the participation points. This means that if you have 4 absences you lose 40 points; if you have 5 absences you lose 80 points.
- If you establish a pattern of often being late to class, you will have additional participation points subtracted accordingly. This will be at my discretion depending on how late you arrived. (The same thing goes if you need to leave class early.)
- If you arrive after attendance has been taken, it is up to you to inform me immediately following the class in order to receive credit for attending. If you forget to inform me, an email received that same calendar day will suffice.
- Email is the official communication tool for this class in alignment with the university.
- All papers must be typed. Papers will be graded for completion of required content criteria and general writing skills. Papers are expected to be turned in on time. Criteria sheets for the written assignments will address how points will be handled if the written assignment is late.
- Missed performances or presentations can't be done after the date the assignment is due unless prior permission is granted by the professor. This is in keeping with professional expectations in the discipline of theatre.
- NO CLASS DATES: Thursday, March 19th - Outside of class assignment
- Tuesday and Thursday, March 24th and 26th - Spring Break
- If weather is questionable, we will follow announcements found on Titan Alerts, T.V. and radio and/or listed on the UWO recorded weather line @ (920) 424-0000.

LIBERAL ARTS STATEMENT - Theatre is a collaborative creative process requiring a broad knowledge of the human condition to be successful. The importance of theatre in society is well documented and understanding the role it plays in society contributes to the development of well-rounded citizens. Theatre holds a mirror to society and teaches us what it means to be human. Theatre, as with all areas of the Liberal Arts, is most effectively employed when it is built on a broad base of knowledge.

|Route Climbed: Guanella Pass Date Climbed: 6/21/2003
|Great trip. Wanted to do the Sawtooth to Evans but my 11 year old daughter got altitude sickness. She made it to 13,500. I was very proud of her for her determination (this was her 1st attempt at a 14er). I waited at camp until my nephew returned, I then made a solo late afternoon climb (thanks Rick). We probably would not have attempted the Sawtooth anyway because there was a little too much snow.

|Had a great day going to the top. Not very difficult, but it was a challenge sticking to the trail due to the many snow fields I had to cross. I made the mistake of following two climbers ahead of me who went strait for the summit rather than angling towards the south ridge and following it to the summit. This just caused me to have to do more boulder scrambling. I spent an hour on the summit with great views of Longs, Grays, Torreys, Pikes and Mount of the Holy Cross.

|Climbed with Jennifer. Late start at 9:15 am, but the weather cooperated until we were back at the jeep. Very easy hike. The willows were quite muddy and the creek was pretty high. There was a very small log to cross the creek which we decided not to use, we went a little north and crossed on a nice dam, small island, and rock. A few snowfields to cross, but snowshoes were not necessary. Highly recommended for a first 14'er or a lowlander.

|Guessing the time and route taken (I remember we didn't do Evans that trip, and the other options seem way too long). Another 14er I did with my Dad. I remember there was good weather.
3.24.'12: w/ Faith- W slopes, from Guanella Pass. Road plowed as far as (?) Lake (@ 10,850', ~1.5 mi. or so from the actual pass). Nice break after resort skiing for 6 days straight. Extra 3 or so miles, plus some great, repeated, postholing, made for a full day. Left parking lot 10.06, summited @ 14.39, hung out @ summit (great to be in the Colorado high Rockies again!), left summit @ 15.22, back @ parking lot @ 18.44. Great day!

|Flew out to Colorado for the weekend of my 22nd birthday. I attempted Castle and Holy Cross the 2 days before, however, 750 ft to 14,000+ ft is quite a shock to the system in the span of 1 day. ;-) On the last day of my trip (Sunday) I simply continued slogging despite the obviously thin air (for a flatlander anyway) and made the summit! Great views and a wonderful snow climb.

|It started as a nice day but the weater turned bad when I reached the summit. I managed to get down alright but the trip home back to denver took three hours! The hike up the mountain was breath taking and I finaly got to sign a summit log.
This was my 2nd time going up Bierstadt, the weather was a lot nicer than last time so I got a lot of good pictures. I hiked with Bill and my girlfriend so the pace was more relaxed than last time. I think my girl friend was starting to get altitude sickness at around 13800 so I walked her down while Bill did the summit. Other than that it was a really nice day.

|The start of the hike goes downhill and crosses numerous marshy areas. The trail was maintained very well with numerous wood bridges over the wetlands. After about a mile the trail starts its climb. It was a steady slope all the way to the top with boulders at the last 200 vertical feet or so. At the summit it was somewhat windy and was also quite cold. After about 15 minutes on the summit I was on my way back down. It started to get hot lower down on the trail and the clouds were starting to look pretty threatening by the time I got back to the car.
Well I did it. Not really fast or efficient but that was ok. The views from the top of Bierstadt were well worth the hike. I would recommend this hike for anyone who wants to do a fourteener for the first time. Its short and the vertical wasn't that drastic.

|This was my second ascent of Bierstadt. It was my second 14er many years ago. This second trip my ultimate destination was actually Evans over the Sawtooth ridge. I summitted Bierstadt around 11 am after getting a late start from the Guanella Pass trailhead. I knew I was cutting time very close if I was to make it across the ridge and up Evans. The ridge was a lot of fun - class 3 scrambling and climbing. A few sections might even be considered class 4. I nearly reached the summit of Evans but was forced to turn back due to weather. The return trip was a nightmare due to confronation with the willows. Some poor family from Minnesota was following me and we all got up to our mid-thighs in mud. I was just happy to have worn my pants that zip off into shorts so when I finally returned to the car, I could get rid of the mud!
On my first trip up Bierstadt back in early 1990s, it was before the walkways were built. My friends dog got stuck in the mud and we had quite a time getting her out (she had short legs).! Quite funny to watch 3 people trying to extricate this poor little dog who didn't know what had happened except her legs wouldn't move anymore!

|A beautiful day for this nice, short climb. Trail was well worn so I didn't need my snowshoes. Great views of Evans, Grays, Torreys, and even Longs and Pikes from the top. Spent about an hour at the summit, and since I had extra time I walked along the south ridge to see what I could see.
The most painful part of the trip was the traffic on I-70... ;-)

|First 14er.
Generally a good day with no weather, hot, and not overly crowded. I climbed with my dad (60) and my son (10). We had little time to acclimatize and did 2 day hikes out of Loveland Pass to adjust. We left the trailhead at 0730 and summitted around 1130. My son decided he couldn't carry his pack up the last pitch to the ridgeline so I clipped his pack to mine. By the time we reached the summit I was blasted and was sick from the altitude: headache, nausea, and couldn't eat at all. It was very warm on the summit so we took some pictures and headed down. The descent was pleasant until we reached the willows and I ran out of water (from being a fish on the way up carrying 2 packs). Luckily my dad and son had water to share. We reached the car around 1330 and headed out for a well deserved rest.

Farrah Abraham's ex-boyfriend Daniel Alvarez appeared on a recent episode of Couple's Therapy where he came face to face with the Teen Mom turned porn star for the first time since their breakup years ago.
In a Feb. 28 conversation with Dr. Jenn Bermann, the show's resident therapist, Daniel advised Farrah to "be honest, true to herself, and to be, foremost, the best mother she can be."
He also told Dr. Jenn, "She should make better decisions in raising Sophia. Set a better example for Sophia. That's my honest opinion."
Although Farrah and Daniel only dated for about two months, he seems to have hit the nail on the head.
These days, Farrah seems to be focused on fame and nothing else. Not only has she made two sex tapes, she's also become more absent in her daughter's life. Because of her hectic appearance schedule, Farrah is often away for days, even weeks, at a time while her father, Michael Abraham, cares for her young daughter.
While Farrah is being paid and making a career out of what she's doing, her daughter needs her, and she should be there for her, showing her what it looks like to be a grown, respectable woman -- not someone who will do anything to stay famous.

5 Ways to celebrate Chinese New Year with Feng Shui
BY: Anjie Cho
Start Slideshow
- Chinese New YearThis year, Chinese New Year falls on Sunday, February 10th. We say goodbye to the dragon and welcome the year of the snake. There are magnificent parades, dancing in the streets, dragon costumes all around, and the entire continent of Asia is in celebration week. But what is Chinese New Year all about? This momentous occasion marks the beginning of spring in the Lunar calendar, a time for new beginnings and renewal. To ring in this new year, why not make some feng shui adjustments to bring some balance to your home? Feng shui is an Asian art of placement — or as I like to say, the original "green design". Through observing and shifting the built environment, feng shui teaches us how to live in harmony with nature. Keep reading to learn more.1
- Feng ShuiBecause our modern and fast paced lifestyles have left so many of us feeling disconnected from the earth and the environment around us, one could argue that the grounding qualities of feng shui are now more important than ever. Feng shui principles are founded upon cycles and patterns of nature and ancient knowledge with which, sadly, many of us have lost touch. This philosophy can teach us to be aware of our surroundings, how we impact the earth, as well as how it affects us.2
- Brighten Your Entry
1. Brighten Your Entry
 The first thing that people see when they visit your home is the entry. What is it that they see? Is the entry well lit? Is it welcoming? Can they find the front door easily? The entry and front door or your home represents your face to the world, how the world sees you and how easily opportunities can come to you. Start out the year of the snake with your best face on. Make sure you have a bright and energy-saving light bulb illuminating the way, check to make sure that your door bell works, add some plants and clean up and de-clutter your entry. Remember, not only is this the first thing that the world sees, it's also the first thing that you see when you get home.3
- Clear out the old, make way for the new!
2. Clear out the old, make way for the new!
 The Lunar new year is symbolically a great time to clear out the old stagnant energy in your home to make space for new positive energy. Fresh orange peels work the best to bring out the good, but you can also use 27 drops of orange essential oil. Place the orange peels (or essential oil) in a spray bottle and fill it with water. Walk around your home and spray this citrus essence all around, paying special attention to dead corners and closets. Orange peel carries with it vibrant life energy to clear and in turn rejuvenates you and your home.4
- Repair or Toss Anything Broken
3. Repair or Toss Anything Broken
 You know that old lamp you have been meaning to fix? Broken things represent stagnant or broken energy. A broken doorbell may be hindering the chance at getting that new job or meeting that new person. What's stopping you from fixing that object? If it's important to you, get it repaired or give it away to someone who can. Don't let that stuck energy stop you from moving forward in life.5
- Try a New Burner
4. Try a New Burner
 My favorite burner on my stove is the one on the front right. Which one is your favorite? Your stove represents wealth and how you nourish yourself in the world. The stove is a modern hearth, the place in the home that provides warmth, safety and nourishment. So tomorrow when you go to your stove, try using another burner instead of always going to the same one. Open up some opportunities for yourself!6
- Position Yourself in Command of your Life
5. Position Yourself in Command of your Life
 In feng shui we have a concept called the "Command Position". Ideally your bed, desk, stove and other important areas should be positioned so that you can see the door and you have your back against the far wall. You don't want to be directly in front of the door, but rather diagonally across the room from the door is typically the most ideal position. This places you in command of the room, your home and your life, so that you can see what life brings to you and you move forward with your eyes open. It's understandable that this furniture placement is not always possible, so you can make an adjustment to the unfavorable position by placing a mirror in such a way that you can see the door to the room. Now you're back in command!7

Brain-controlled computers
By terryh on Sep 28, 2005
Nature is reporting on their news pages about an electrode-array-bearing cap that a person can wear, which allows them to navigate a virtual environment by visualising walking. Although it takes practice to get used to the system, the breakthrough here is that you don't need to have the electrodes implanted. Just having them held onto your head is good enough. Meanwhile, another group has been using trans-cranial magnetic stimulation to produce an artificial feeling of motion. So that's the start of neural input and output. Maybe I really will live to see cyberpunk technology come true. That would be cool.

We continue to celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb of death. Some of us may also seek victory over our personal problems nailed to the cross of everyday life.
We yearn for a new beginning. As Christians, we believe that God already knows this; nevertheless we may be desperate for relief.
Sacred Scripture tells us as a certain two disciples walked and conversed with the resurrected Christ on the road to Emmaus, they began to gain an unidentifiable hope and renewed strength.
Until then they had only questions with seemingly no answers. They wondered why their Messiah had not 'saved' Himself from crucifixion on the cross. Why had He not shown them and the world of His great power?
This iconic, Biblical story (Luke 24:13-25) is not lost on our modern day dilemmas. Similarly, we may wonder why He has not shown up in a powerful way to help us out of our rejections and unfortunate situations.
Thankfully, the same eye-opening awareness those disciples gained is available for us today. Listen! God's Word still speaks. His grace still abounds. Through His Word, through the breaking of bread (the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist), things become clearer.
Jesus' quoting of Old Testament Scripture as He walked with the disciples laid out all of the prophecies that had to happen and how those events followed the path Our Father in heaven had destined.
There are things happening today that simply must take place. Our wisdom and understanding of events come by living with faith in and obedience to, the Son of God.
The risen, glorified Lord continues to walk with each of us every day. He talks to us when we hear and receive His words. He gives us hope and strength when our eyes are opened to see that which is destined.
"He was known before the foundation of the world
but revealed in the final time for you,
who through him believe in God
who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
so that your faith and hope are in God." 1 Peter 1:20-21
Participation in Mass means receiving grace available only in the Holy Eucharist. It means being filled with a resurrected optimism and confidence that all will eventually be made well.
He welcomes us to His supper—don't ignore Him. He invites us to His mercy—don't miss out. Walk on and persist in celebrating the greatest gift given mankind—a resurrected Messiah.
…Lord, you will show us the path of life... Psalm 16:11

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2009 Article IV Consultation with BotswanaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 10/68
June 1, 2010
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On July 20, 2009, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Botswana.1
Sound macroeconomic management, supported by strong institutions and good governance, has underpinned strong economic growth in Botswana for the past four decades. Annual real gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged nearly 10 percent per year from 1960 through 2008, supported by increased mining production and more recently by stronger growth in the nonmining economy as the mining sector has matured. As a result, real per capita income increased from US$250 in 1960 to US$4,800 in 2008 (in constant 2000 US$).
Prudent management of diamond revenues, together with high minerals prices, resulted in large fiscal and external surpluses in recent years. International reserves amounted to 21 months of imports of goods and services by end-2008, boosted by the accumulation of sizable fiscal savings.
Despite this impressive progress, considerable social challenges remain. HIV/AIDS is a serious problem, while poverty, unemployment, and income inequality are all high for a middle-income country. In addition, the economy continues to rely heavily on diamond mining, which is expected to decline after 2020.
After several years of robust growth, real GDP growth slowed to 2.9 percent in 2008 due to a decline in mining output. The decline in diamond exports, together with a large increase in public infrastructure-related imports, reduced the current account surplus to 7 percent of GDP in 2008 from an average surplus of 15.6 percent of GDP during 2005-2007. The nonmining primary deficit (NMPD) increased to 28.6 percent of non-mining GDP in 2008/09 from 16.8 percent in 2007/08, reflecting a large increase in public investment and further growth in the wage bill.
The real effective exchange rate has stabilized since the shift to the crawling peg regime in May 2005, although Botswana's higher inflation vis-à-vis its trading partners resulted in a modest appreciation in 2008 and early 2009. The 12-month inflation rate fell to 8.4 percent in May 2009 from 15 percent in mid-2008, mostly reflecting reduced pressure on fuel and food prices. With inflationary pressures easing, the Bank of Botswana has reduced its main interest rate by 400 basis points since December 2008 with a view to stimulating economic activity.
The financial sector has weathered the global economic downturn thus far, although non-performing loans have edged up in late 2008 and early 2009. There has been notable progress on supervision of the nonbanking financial sector, including the establishment of a Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority (NBFIRA). There are still several recommendations from the 2007 Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) mission that remain on the agenda.
The current global economic crisis has reduced demand for diamonds and contributed to a significant deterioration in the economic outlook. The economy is now projected to contract sharply in 2009, and large fiscal and external deficits are anticipated. Inflation has slowed considerably and is projected to fall to 7 percent by the end of 2009. Looking ahead, Botswana's near-term macroeconomic outlook is uncertain, with significant downside risks in the event of a slower than expected recovery in diamond demand. Two large electricity generation projects should boost output as they come online in 2012–13.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors agreed with the thrust of the staff appraisal. They commended the authorities for their prudent macroeconomic management, underpinned by strong institutions and good governance, which has contributed to rapid growth, large fiscal and external surpluses, and a significant build up of international reserves. Directors observed that the current global economic crisis has contributed to a significant deterioration in the economic outlook for Botswana with near-term downside risks. With a recovery in diamond exports expected to be sluggish, large fiscal and external deficits are likely to persist for the next several years. A slower-than-expected recovery in diamond demand would add to pressure on the external and fiscal positions. Directors noted that Botswana also faces the challenge of diversifying from diamond production and tackling high unemployment, HIV/AIDS prevalence, and income inequality.
Directors agreed that the recent marked increase in expenditures raises concerns about spending quality and fiscal sustainability. As a large part of this increase reflected outlays for infrastructure investment, a return to a more sustainable level of spending could take place as these projects are completed. They called for the authorities to scale back the public sector wage bill to create fiscal space for the recurrent costs associated with the completed projects, as well as for social spending. Directors noted that on current fiscal policies, the fiscal adjustment to achieve fiscal sustainability in the medium term would be larger than currently envisaged.
Directors encouraged the authorities to consider a fiscal rule that is based on the nonmining primary deficit as a share of nonmining GDP rather than the present rule, which limits overall expenditure relative to GDP. They noted that such a rule would provide a clearer picture of the underlying fiscal stance and be a better indicator of longer-term fiscal sustainability. Directors also encouraged the authorities to develop a Medium-Term Expenditure Framework in order to improve public expenditure management and increase spending efficiency.
Directors agreed that the weak outlook for growth and easing of inflationary pressures had provided room for easing monetary policy in 2009. Directors generally welcomed the recent easing of monetary policy. They encouraged the authorities to continue to weigh carefully the balance of inflation risk in their monetary policy decision.
Directors noted that the crawling peg has resulted in greater stability of the real effective exchange rate. They also noted staff's assessment that the real effective exchange rate is modestly overvalued. The limited scope for real exchange rate adjustment underscores the need for fiscal consolidation and structural reform to ensure medium-term external stability and competitiveness. Over the medium term, a few Directors encouraged greater exchange rate flexibility if the inflation objective were to become the primary monetary policy anchor.
Directors observed that the global financial crisis has not had a significant adverse impact on the banking sector to date. Nevertheless, they urged the authorities to remain vigilant, as the marked economic contraction expected in 2009 could increase stress on bank balance sheets. Directors welcomed the establishment of the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority, but noted that further steps are needed to enhance its capacity, including through technical assistance, given the sizable reform agenda ahead. They encouraged the authorities to address the remaining issues from the FSAP recommendations.
Directors noted that Botswana needs to accelerate economic diversification in order to reduce vulnerability to shocks in the diamond trade. They urged the authorities to ensure that the increased spending on infrastructure, education, and health results in outcomes that are commensurate with these additional expenditures. They also called on the authorities to accelerate key structural reforms, which would reduce the cost of doing business and enhance productivity.

Students may have noticed the sounds of the Westminster echoing while pulling into the Lake House parking lot. Each and every "ding dong" would not be possible without Dr. Chris Hammons, dean of the School of Humanities, Dr. Doni Wilson, associate professor of English, and the Alpha Chi National Honor Society.
During the month of June, an electronic carillon system was purchased from Verdin, a company founded in 1842 and known for making cast bronze bells, clocks and bell towers.
Within the same month, it was installed by Verdin technicians and Hammons himself, who assisted technicians. The money was raised through Alpha Chi's membership funds. This project has been a decade in the making.
"We had been, over the past 10 years, raising funds for some sort of campus beautification service project, but we didn't want to do something like recycling or donating piece of art," Hammons said.
Hammons headed this project. He wanted to ensure that the money donated by Alpha Chi benefited the campus in a positive manner. Hammons submitted a proposal to the financial committee to start the process. Upon hearing about the idea, President Robert B. Sloan Jr. approved, agreeing that this would be a great addition to the campus.
Sharon Saunders, vice president of University relations, said she voiced a lot of support when Hammons came to her about the idea of having a carillon.
"I think any time you have sounds that create memories, that create traditions, those are the types of things that people remember from their experiences as students," Saunders said.
The carillon consists of two high-tech, directional speakers. Two more are in the process of being installed on top of Hinton.
The speakers face the residence halls and the student parking lot to avoid disrupting classes in the academic buildings.
It has no official name but Alpha Chi and Hammons call it the "century carillon" with hopes of obtaining an authentic version of it in the years to come.
"We just recently had our 50th anniversary so our hope is that maybe by the next 50th anniversary, which will be a century at the University, someone will donate a real brass system," Hammons said.

AIKEN, S.C. - The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team picked up a doubleheader split with nationally fourth-ranked Armstrong Atlantic State on Tuesday at J.H. Satcher Field.
USC Aiken (18-14-1) won game one, 3-2, in nine innings before dropping the second game, 6-2, to Armstrong (23-4-1).
The Pacers will next be in action on the road on Friday, March 29 at league-foe UNC Pembroke. Game one is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
USC Aiken's next home doubleheader is against non-conference opponent Carson-Newman on Wednesday, April 3. First pitch of game one is slated for 1 p.m.
Game 1: USC Aiken 3, #4 Armstrong 2 (9 innings)
USC Aiken was able to pick up a 3-2 extra-inning, come-from-behind win in the first game of the doubleheader with Armstrong.
Armstrong struck first by plating two runs in the top of the fourth inning. Haley Ellis drove in Andrea Dalton and Peyton Roth to take a 2-0 lead. Dalton and Roth both reached on singles.
The Pacers were able to even the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning. Hillary Stewart (Blythewood, S.C./Blythewood HS) walked to get on base and was pinch-run for by Kyle Maguire. Nicole Borden would then double to put runners on second and third with one out. Joi Chrishon pinch-ran for Borden (Jacksonville, Fla./Bolles School), and both pinch runners came around to score.
Cortney Sadler singled to drive in Maguire (Irmo, S.C./Dutch Fork HS) to cut the lead in half. Kaitlyn White would then pick up a two-out single to plate Chrishon (Fayetteville, N.C./Pfeiffer) and tie the game.
Neither team would be able to score again until the extra innings. The Pacers would come up with double plays to end the Pirate threats in the seventh and ninth innings, setting the stage for late drama.
Brandy Bossle walked to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning, and was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Sadler (Bradenton, Fla./State College of Fla., Manatee-Sarasota). One batter later, White singled to centerfield to score Bossle (North East, Md./Rising Sun HS) from second and pick up the game-winning RBI.
Armstrong out-hit USC Aiken in game one, 10-8. Four Pirates were able to collect multiple hits in the game.
The Pacer offense was led by White (McAllen, Texas/College of Charleston), who went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Borden was also able to collect multiple hits in the game for the Pacers.
India Kornegay (10-7) pitched all nine innings in the victory for the Pacers. Kornegay (Eufaula, Ala./Eufaula HS) fanned 11 Pirates and surrendered only two earned runs.
Megan Barnwell took the loss in the game for the Pirates. Barnwell's record dropped to 14-3 on the season.
Game 2: #4 Armstrong 6, USC Aiken 2
Armstrong was able to pick up the victory in game two, 6-2, to deny USC Aiken the doubleheader sweep.
The Pirates were led by the bat of Alexis Mercer in their win over the Pacers. Mercer homered twice; a solo shot and a three-run homer, collecting four RBIs in a game where she was not retired by Pacer pitching.
USC Aiken was able to push across two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to cut the lead to 6-2, but was unable to complete the comeback.
Sarah Montei (Summerville, S.C./Summerville HS) drove in Bossle for the first Pacer run on a double over the centerfielder's head. Lindsey Jones (North Augusta, S.C./North Augusta HS) was able to pick up an RBI-single to complete the Pacer scoring in game two.
The Pirates out-hit the Pacers 8-6 in game two. Mercer was the only Pirate to secure multiple hits.
Victoria Burkett (Gilbert, S.C./Gilbert HS) went 2-for-4 as the only Pacer with multiple hits in game two.
Taylor Morgan (8-7) took the loss in game two, pitching a complete game. Morgan (Chapin, S.C./Chapin HS) gave up only two earned runs.
Shelby Duff (6-1) got the victory for Armstrong in game two.

Rated 3 out of 5�by DickT Different sizing than my last Contours I've had 2 pair of Contours other than these and both were comfortable and fit me well. These aren't. They are narrower in the toe and have a crease when walking that catches my foot wrong. They may work for someone, but not me. The grip was very good, and good looking, and they seem well built. Just not the same fit as before. June 21, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by JT5419 Comfort and Fit This shoe was a great choice for me. My last pair (not FootJoy) was too narrow in the toe and caused rubbing that made my feet sore. Not these though! They are true to size and were comfortable for walking 9 holes the first time I put them on. My only slight negative, and it really is slight, is that the laces seem sort of narrow and so tying the shoes is a little tedious for my hands. October 10, 2015

European Red is composed of crushed brick dust and is ideal for top-dressing existing natural clay courts and ClayTech courts. It has also been used as a cap on top of existing Har-Tru courts to seal off the green and leave the fiery red/orange finish on display. This rich red product leaves its mark in a way no other surface can. Not just on the clothes and the ball but in the heart of a tennis player. You can purchase American Red Clay from 10-S Tennis Supply in 55 lb. bags. Please call for pricing.
