CopyPaste is my constant companion and the one 'helper' app I can't do without. I was fortunate that it was one of the first apps I discovered after getting my first Mac in 1990. I use the Windows version too (at work), and altho it's not as functional as the Mac version, it's still indispensable.
I have been using CopyPaste since OS9 - this is simply an essential for the Mac. CopyPaste should be standard on all Macs. Imagine only 1 copy and one paste at a time. Impossible for me to use my Mac without CopyPaste. I have about 20 standard "pastes" in the archive which I use daily - and the History collects 100 pastes during the day - from key words to photos to entire paragraphs or documents.
This is a comprehensive multi-copy paste program. The ARCHIVES is a key feature that makes CopyPaste so valuable. Plus you get fast, reliable, full personal tech support - the latest version 2.2.6 includes one modification I requested just a few days ago!
An essential tool - once you have CopyPaste you will never go back to a Mac without it! (I install it on Macs at the Apple Stores before I try them out - otherwise, it's not a Mac for me!!)

I use this constantly when extracting bits from from multiple places in one doc then pasting them all in another doc. I don't have to keep switching back and forth between the docs, just cmd-v-v to select a bit from the clipboard then paste away. Also use the tools to unwrap or un-quote email text.
this is one of my apps i just can't live without and is the first one i always add to friends computers whenever they've asked for my help, etc. i copy so many things from all over i just don't know what i'd do without copypaste pro. thank you.
Can I do a paste1, paste2, paste3 all via shortcut? So could I copy three text pieces and then paste one after the other or do I have to go up to the menu? I hate that about QuickSilver and other apps that don't allow several pastes via shortcut.
Very useful! I don't wanna miss it. Beside the handy way of selecting between various clips I'm using it for other tasks, for example: easy change of upper/lower case etc.
Highly recommended!

Millions worldwide share difficult Mandela vigil
A South African girl holds a poster showing former South African President Nelson Mandela, while her family and other well wishers gather at the entrance to the Mediclinic Heart Hospital where former South African President Nelson Mandela is being treated in Pretoria, South Africa. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen, File) by Jesse Washington AP National Writer As Nelson Mandela lingers in a hospital, yet another remarkable moment is helping to seal his legacy: Millions of people around the world, united by respect and gratitude, are preparing for this beloved man to die. The preparations take many forms: Prayers and vigils, pictures and candles, headlines and YouTube videos. All are measurements of his legend, and yet as the 94-year-old Mandela's hospitalization continues, the anticipation has left many caught in an awkward limbo, sharing on a global scale what is usually a private scenario. There is no one in the world like Mandela — a victim who both governed and forgave his tormentors, a figure so universally admired that his countless honors include both America's Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Soviet Union's Order of Lenin.

Crystal Dice
Invented by Michael Bowling of Tuscon, Arizona, and covered by U.S. patents, these crystal dice are unlike any dice you have ever seen before. Instead of the usual polyhedral dice which are in the shape of platonic solids, these are elongated and are shaped just like a magic crystal you might find on a pendant.
Cheap Transparent Crystal Shaped Orange 10 Sided D100 Dice$0.35Not your standard dice, these 10 Sided Crystal Shaped d100 Dice work like standard dice but are shaped like crystals and have minor flaws. Transparent orange with white numbers, these dice are inexpensive because of minor cosmetic quirks. There is nothing in them that would cause a bad roll but there are a few blemishes. These Dice are the same size as our terrific Crystal Shaped Swirly Dice and are always a great hit for any RPG! Learn More

I wanted to keep a diary of my server network thing, hope this is ok in here, feel free to add your comments and experiences but you must stay on topic. thanks
belkin router
1.5 Ghz XP amd ancient piece of 20yo desktop junk connected to the LG via dvi and running PS3MS to serve to the PS3 and the Bravia, vlc for general playback, locked off from the internet, and no other software on it, only used for playback on the network and LG tv.
LG lcd 32"
22" Bravia smart tv
Win7 net book
Fujitsu Ubuntu laptop
4TB storage on usb2
ancient XP laptop running Utorrent alone
5:1 audio optically from the PS3 and LG
so, I installed PS3MS v1.30.1 on the ancient peice of junk, after a few googles i learnt that port 5001 needs to be open on the firewall, so i set that on its windows firewall and also set that in 'virtual servers' on the belkin router. 5001 tcp
i had results on the bravia but not great, kept not seeing the server but repeated 'server diagnosis' seemed to work.
if i used the 'return' on the bravia remote to stop playback and get back to menus the performance was worse than if i use the 'stop' button on the bravia remote to take me back to the server file lists.
not enitrely happy i googled more and went for 'Servio' as apparently sony like this.... didnt work, opened the ports, bugger all, hate it, hate its interface, coulnt get ris of it quick enough......
googled more and found PS3MS 1.20.412 beta ... apparently this works better with bravia tellys'
much better results. serving up much better than 1.30.1 as was suggested. still a bit buggy tho for me.
still getting occasional 'server not there' when it clearly is there.
I usually play content in VLC via DVI to the LG 32" l but the sound is rubbish with ac3 cos i use the line out of the sound card to the LG and then optically fromo the LG to the 5:1 so things get a bit unmuxed junky & nasty sometimes.
playing the same movie thro PS3MS v 1.20.412 to the PS3 gives amazing differences, mostly in the audio, i get my proper 5:1, dialogue is 100 times clearer on the center speaker and the picture is a lot sharper.
still not 100% happy, i need to find out why the bravia cant see the same file lists and directories that the ps3 can see.
i did read something about a limit of 8 folders in a tree, but is there a file limit in a folder....
i currently have 400 avi/mp4/mkv movies in one folder on a usb 2TB drive, PS3MS sees it in 1.20.412 but 1.30.1 couldn't, altho i haven't left the system running long enough to make the thumbnails in 412.
more soon, still a bit blinded by the fact that movies look better thro my router. lol.

An interesting unbiased article on Suarez - Highly recommended reading
Liverpool fans are embarrassing themselves with Luis Suarez - opinion by talkSPORT's website editor Craig Bloomfield
Liverpool fans giving Luis Suarez a standing ovation during pre-season aren't showing their class, as Brendan Rodgers has claimed, but embarrassing themselves.
Like a jilted lover desperately begging a cheating partner not to leave, pleading that all will be forgotten if only they will stay, these Liverpool fans are casting aside dignity because they fear losing the object of their affections.
The latest round of applause came during an open training session held in front of fans at Anfield this week, when Suarez was given more rousing backing.
"Luis was probably humbled by the reception," said Rodgers, speaking after Steven Gerrard's testimonial, in which Suarez received loud cheers upon entering as a substitute. Yeah, probably. He probably wasn't humbled enough to want to stay at Anfield, however, so why should Liverpool supporters cheer him like he's desperate to play for a club that they pay plenty of money to go and watch?
This is no complaint about Suarez. He is entitled to want to leave, if he so wishes, and unless you are the most blinkered Kopite, it is obvious that Luis Suarez would like to leave Liverpool. By cheering him to the rafters, Liverpool supporters are no doubt doing their best to convince the Uruguayan to change his mind, but applause from fans of a team that represents but a chapter in his career surely won't be much of a concern when he considers his future?
Suarez can rely on being cheered by the fans of whichever club he plays for. Likewise, a man of his experience is hardly likely to worry about being booed by fans in the future.
Page: 1 of 2
---- Continuation...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I disagree with this heavily. The likelihood is that he leaves, yesterdays interview states that 100% clearly and finally. The manager wants him to stay, the players want him to stay and we want him to stay. The manager and players have tried bending his ear and now it is are turn to do so as well. For all that people say about him, if we were in the Champions League he wouldn't be looking to get out, he had an agreement to leave so we should let him as long as it is not to a rival. What would the media say if the LFC fans had booed him at the match? "LFC fans rage at Suarez". "LFC fans turn on Luis", it is just nonsense, who would we help by doing that? He would then be able to say the fans dont want him anymore and give him even more grounds and reason to leave, the support for him is best for the football club be it in terms of him staying or helping to maintain his value.
It still bugs me a little that Michael Owen is treated as a hate figure yet Mcmanaman is not, it is just very fickle sometimes and at the end of the day, if you aren't up their challenging, players will want to leave if we aren't bringing in the signings in to get us there. People make a lot of keeping your best player at the club but we havent finished in the top 6 with him in the side so maybe we shouldnt be so worried.

Apologies for *doing a Suarez* (i.e. going back on my words NOT to post here again until the Suarez dust settles).
This is why.......
I read an article today by former Anfield legend John Barnes which basically summed up the point I made about the excessive adulation of Luis Suarez perfectly.
Below is an extract of the article by Barnesy..........
"Barnes said a common problem with modern-day footballers was that they often had an inflated opinion of themselves born out of fans' adoration.
On his last two public appearances – Steven Gerrard's testimonial on Saturday and an open training session on Monday – Suarez was cheered by fans.
That depth of feeling is unlikely to be repeated in the wake of recent developments.
"Why are you so surprised? This situation has been going on for years," said Barnes, just voted seventh – two places behind Suarez – in the club website's '100 players who shook the Kop' online poll.
"This is the future of modern football we have created. The media and especially the fans have empowered players too much to make them feel that a) they are better than their team-mates and b) they're better than their clubs.
"We've seen it at Arsenal where so many players have left because Arsenal cannot match their ambitions, and the fans are the ones who have created this superstar culture whereby you've separated the team and the superstars to feel more important than the club.
"What has empowered him (Suarez) and the likes of (Fernando) Torres is they feel the team is losing not because of them but because of their team-mates.".
Firstly, thanks for a great post MCMX...
On the actual article, I agree wholeheartedly with Dave's initial reply. I do think, however, that the article makes a good point about football fans in general. I have no problem with Suarez wanting to move on to improve his career - it's his life and presumably that's how we signed him in the first place. I have some issues with how he's going about it but I don't expect loyalty from him or any other player. All I ask is that players give everything while they are at the club (Suarez has). I don't agree with fans who hate Owen & Torres for daring to move on but at the same time berate Downing for daring to stay and fight it out. Of course, Liverpool fans are far from unique in this.
Regarding Stevie's comments - again I agree with Dave. His general point was right - Liverpool's chances of getting into the top four this season very much depend on Suarez staying. As for replacing him ... of course everyone is replaceable over a period of time but Liverpool aren't in a position to attract the quality needed to do so in the short term (unlike the two clubs in your example). Look at the Mkhitaryan transfer as evidence of this.
On the player himself, a game is being played. Suarez and his agent are doing everything possible to engineer a move away from Liverpool at a price that interested clubs will pay. Liverpool do have some cards to play - Suarez has 3 years left on his contract and we are heading into a WC year. If Suarez throws a moody and is left training with the kids, that won't help him either. I hope that the club stand firm. Suarez can go at the market rate and not a penny less (as I'm sure he's been told). I see him as a similar to Tevez - if he's still a Liverpool player at the end of the window I think he'll do what he always does on the pitch. The press interviews, the not celebrating his assist etc - they're all just part of the dance imo.

Many thanks to all the posters who took their precious time to post on this very divisive topic.
Sadly, with the latest development on the on-going Suarez saga, I won't be able to participate in the discussion anymore. Any further remark by me could be easily misconstrued by some posters as siding with Suarez or being biased because of my allegiance to AFC.
Best of luck for the new season and thanks again for taking the time to post.

Anyway, do Liverpool supporters need to worry so much about him leaving? Suarez has been prolific on the pitch since signing in January 2011, but not without causing the club problems. Besides which, when he arrived at Anfield, Liverpool were seventh. Last season, Liverpool finished seventh.
Elsewhere, I have stated that selling him to a direct Premier League rival, Arsenal, would be a mistake, but it is the job of Liverpool's management, who do have Suarez under contract after all, not to sell to the Gunners.
You've got to leave it to FSG, hope they do what is best for the club and concentrate on supporting the team.
If Suarez is part of that team when the season kicks off and does his bit, fine, cheer any contribution and effort in those games, but don't sacrifice respect for Liverpool's support by metaphorically throwing yourself at one player's feet.
Save your breath and sing the name of Liverpool Football Club instead because, unlike Suarez, it's been going nowhere for too long.
What do you think? Comment below…

The author may rightly accuse kopites of being blinkered, but why would you expect fans of any club not to be biased toward their own team and players? As for embarrassing themselves I think the author is welcome to his opinion, but I just don't agree. While in Asia Gerrard, Suarez and a few others got notable increases in volume from the crowd when they made appearances on the side lines or made what the crowd determined good plays. By the logic that the LFC faithful are embarrassing themselves for audibly supporting a player who is not more interested in his own future rather than the clubs should he not also suggest the Arsenal fans (or wherever Suarez goes, if he goes) should also not support him as he's a player obviously more interested in his own personal career rather than the club he's playing for at that moment in time. Actually that same logic could be levied at the vast majority of footballers playing the game professionally.
Personally I find it more fickle (and therefore embarrassing) when supporters who once cheered for a player suddenly send that same player to Coventry because what they should have know about the player before hand is actually thrown in their faces. For example Mancs had no problem throwing lots of love at Rooney even thought they knew he was a bluenose who moved to Utd not out of love but for more money and the chance to play on a bigger stage. Now he's reached a cross roads in his career and he see;s Chelsea as a better place to ply his trade, he becomes a villain. Rooney has not changed, its just the blindfold of the Mancs has been removed, surely that is more embarrassing.
But why shouldn't the LFC supports try to encourage one of their best players to stay by showing him some support. If Suarez is only interested in Money and or CL football, it won't work. But if he's also interested in being appreciated for what he does, it just might. So why not show him what we think of him and let the chips fall where they will

We followed the fate of the proposed Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Ban in New York City and watched as it was defeated. Former Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to curtail the sweet tooth of millions of New Yorkers was met with everything from applause to extreme criticism. A pizzeria in Manhattan actually refused to serve the former mayor a second slice of pizza, telling him that if he wanted to force New Yorkers to count their calories and reduce their sugar intake, the pizzeria could also control his. While that made for some memorable headlines, there are many who still believe that the Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Ban (which applied only to drinks over 16 ounces) was a healthy move for New Yorkers. In that spirit, the federal government is moving towards its own version of health-oriented legislation.
For the first time since 2009, legislation proposing a national tax on soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages is under consideration in the House of Representatives. U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Tax Act — or SWEET Act — last week.
The bill would levy an excise tax on sugar content in beverages. Under the SWEET Act, manufacturers would pay a tax of one cent per teaspoon of sugar or other sweetener added to most beverages. For point of reference, a 20-ounce soda contains 16 teaspoons of sugar. The tax works out to just under a penny-per-ounce of beverage. Drinks such as milk, infant formula, alcoholic beverages and many juices are excluded.
But because the tax is based on amount of sugar and not on ounces of beverage, the federal approach is "a built-in incentive for manufacturers to diminish the concentration of sugar," says Dr. Lynn Silver with Oakland's Public Health Institute. Silver and other PHI staff gave input to DeLauro's staff in formulating the bill and also has been part of the Berkeley coalition that helped draft the measure there.
She said the national approach is different from local efforts, because a graduated tax is "more complicated" to implement at the local level. "It makes more sense at the federal level which has the resources to track down all the beverages and figure out how much they should be taxed," Silver said. "But for smaller communities, that would be challenging."
One of the first questions that reasonably pops into people's minds when they hear about such a bill is what is the possibility of it passing? Silver countered that question with a question: "How many times did health care reform get introduced? Lots. Almost a hundred years before it actually passed — and it passed in pieces, with Medicare and Medicaid each being created separately."
Silver said she expected "many attempts and incremental efforts to really make change."
Mexico passed a similar soda tax to the one proposed — a peso per ounce, or about 10 percent — which took effect in January. The Wall Street Journal reported in late February that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages promptly dropped 5 to 7 percent. At the same time, consumption of diet sodas and bottled water are up.
"I think the first lesson of the Mexican soda tax," said Silver, "is that it's working as expected." People are cutting back on sugary beverages and increasing consumption of more healthy alternatives.
If the SWEET Act passes, the money would go to the Prevention and Public Health Fund created under the Affordable Care Act. In addition to any public health programs the money might fund, a tax is estimated to have modest effects on health, because of reduced consumption of sugar.
A U.C. San Francisco study found that a national penny-per-ounce tax would reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption by 15 percent. Researchers said that reduction would lead to modest weight loss and reductions in diabetes. Over 10 years, researchers estimated there would be 26,000 fewer premature deaths, 95,000 fewer instances of heart disease and 8,000 fewer strokes.
The American Beverage Association opposes the tax. A statement on its website is titled, "Taxes Do Not Make People Healthy."
FoodFacts.com can agree with that general statement. But we'd follow it up with "Taxes can motivate people to consume healthier beverages."
We all know that as soon as manufacturers are being charged for sugar by the teaspoon in their sodas, iced teas, and some of their juice drinks, they will immediately pass those costs off to their consumers with higher prices. We feel pretty comfortable making the assumption that once prices go up, consumption will go down. Seems like a pretty good reason for those same manufacturers to reduce the amount of sugar in their beverages.

Senator Schumer co-sponsors bill targeting copper thieves
Bill says sellers should prove ownership
New York Sen. Charles Schumer is proposing legislation targeting thieves who strip and sell copper and other metal from homes and businesses.
The New York Democrat is due in Niagara Falls Thursday to push a bill he's co-sponsoring that would require metal sellers to prove ownership. It would also require scrap yards to keep detailed records of what they buy.
The bill also would cap the amount buyers could pay at $100 in cash and make it a federal crime to steal metal from critical infrastructure. Payments above $100 could be paid by personal check or by other typical commercial transactions.
Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster, Police Chief Bryan DalPorto and victims of scrap metal theft are expected with Schumer at St. John de LaSalle church.

In the last month UK petrol prices have hit record levels. In July unleaded petrol passed the £4 a gallon barrier for the first time ever and now costs an average of 88p per litre. The immediate cause of these rises is events in the Middle East that have reduced the supply of crude oil, leading to a price rise at pumps. But the exorbitant cost of petrol and of motoring generally is a result of the size of the tax burden levied by government on car users.
Comparing prices at British pumps with those in other countries illustrates the point. In the United States that 88p litre of unleaded costs the equivalent of only 35p. In Estonia it will set you back a mere 53p, in Greece 64p and in Luxembourg only 73p.
This is because of an 88p litre of petrol in the UK, only 22p is the actual cost of production and profit for the supplier. A whopping 51p is fuel duty levied by the government and a further 15p is VAT. In other words, if petrol was tax exempt, a litre of unleaded would cost only 22p.
This is not the only tax levied specifically on motorists. They are also required to pay between £75 and £170 per year road tax, plus of course VAT at 17.5% when they purchase a vehicle in the first place.
It should come as no surprise to learn that, according to figures compiled by the transport pressure group Transport-Watch, after taking into account government expenditure on the road network, road users presently give the Treasury net receipts of £30 billion per year.
In other words, motorists are helping to fund a huge array of government expenditure via fuel duty, road tax and VAT on petrol.
Such expenditure may be necessary and worthwhile, but is it fair that one group of individuals should shoulder such a disproportionate share of the burden just because they happen to drive cars? In particular, those who live in rural areas may have little choice but to use their cars for the great majority of their journeys but are financially penalised by the government for so doing.
Comparison of the governments attitudes to roads and railways may further illustrate the raw deal received by motorists. While road users presently pay the Treasury £30bn per year net, the rail network receives an annual subsidy of approximately £2 billion. In other words, train journeys are relatively cheap because money is taken from road users to (effectively) reduce ticket prices.
Such cross-subsidisation may be thought desirable because rail travel is more environmentally friendly than road. But, in fact, according to Transport-Watch figures, railways return an average of 115 passenger miles per gallon of fuel used, whereas a small diesel powered car containing two people may return 120 passenger miles per gallon and a coach carrying twenty people may achieve 200 passenger miles per gallon.
While fuel consumption may not be the only environmental issue that should be taken into account, there is not a compelling case for the subsidy of railways by roads on the grounds of fuel consumption alone.
If a fairer deal for motorists is to be achieved, then there are three possible solutions that the government should explore.
First, Gordon Brown should abolish fuel duty, road tax and VAT on fuel and instead create a system of road pricing that would reflect levels of congestion and pollution on different roads in different parts of the country. It should cost more to drive along a crowded, polluted motorway than along an empty, unpolluted rural road. The money raised through a national system of road pricing could be used to maintain and upgrade the road network.
Second, the government should end the present level of subsidies to railways. This may mean that some railways in rural areas would close, but this may not be a bad thing. In some isolated areas it would be cheaper to give rail users a personal taxi service than to keep the railways open for them. Where this is the case, this is what should be done.
Third, the Chancellor should seek to reduce the overall tax burden. At present, government takes about half of what people earn and spends it on their behalf. Its time government started to treat people like adults and allow them to spend their own money as they see fit. When people spend their own cash they tend to get better value for money and encourage greater competition that reduce costs and raises standards.
The high price of petrol is indicative of the failure of government intervention in the transport system that has created a situation where one large group of people (motorists) subsidise a much smaller group (rail users) and fund other government services that are not linked to road use. The problem will only be resolved by a radical rethinking of the proper role of government in a free society.

|Ridge to the sky
Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2015
|The ridge to the sky...is as awesome as it looks on all the photos here on SP. Climbed with Roeland, Pieter and Werner from the Ayaz hut (after Climbing Pollux first) over the WNW-flank. Crevasses on the WNW-Flank and the last part to reach the summit ridge was quite steep:45-50 degrees. We traversed Castor, passed Felikhorn and went down to the Quintino Sella Hut. Clear blue skies all day and great views, a perfect day.

We begun in rifugio Mezzalama (guide d'ayas was full) reaching the summit in 5h descending to Quintino sella.
The route of west face had changed a lot because we needed to cross 4 crevasses without bridges and some sections over it had 40-45º, specially the last section to reach the summit North with 45-50º (but with a fixed rope and good steps)

|With my son Keith, climbed both Pollux and Castor from Rossi e Volante Bivvy Hut. We did furthest away, Castor via WNW Flank - and then did Pollux via SW ridge, 'on the way back'.
All in all, this was a fantastic day out, in near perfect conditions - a real stroke of luck after all the uncertain weather recently.
Castor W flank a bit of a slog - and quite cold in the morning out of the sun (we made it minus 10 C with a 40km/hour wind to cool things further). But the summit ridge was a total delight - really airy - and with sensational views all round.

|Camping on the flat part of the glacier between Klein Matterhorn and Breithorn. We were first going for Pollux, but turned around in the beginning of the scramble, and decided to go for Castor instead. Climbed the breathtakingly steep snow slope and reached summit early afternoon,then "rushed" down, probably as the last climbers that day. Stunning view from the summit and absolutely amazing (almost too amazing) weather! On the way back towards Kl. Matterhorn, a small avalanche had totally covered part of the the path. Too close! Castor was my highest mountain so far.

|Castor normal route
Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2012
|The short story is that this beautiful mountain required no prior experience (as long as you have a local guide), but I found it both physically very demanding and quite scary on the final ridge.
I have done a fair bit of Alpine hiking, but this was only the second mountain that I have climbed after the Breithorn main summit. I had spent about 10 days doing hikes and getting acclimatised before doing Castor. Castor definitely was much more demanding than the Breithorn main summit.
I climbed Castor with just me and a local guide. We set off on a wonderful blue sky day with no wind and temperatures at about zero degrees. There had been some fresh snow the night before. The cable car was however delayed by about 1 hour which put us under some time pressure as the last cable car down was at 4pm. If you miss the cable car you either have to stay the night at the cable car station or walk to a mountain hut.
The initial walk from the Klein Matterhorn cable car station to the base of the mountain I found quite easy and very pleasant. There were a couple of very short, icy sections where you could have taken a tumble if you were not careful.
However, I found the walk up the face of the mountain on the normal route really physically demanding. I certainly am not as fit as I thought! I was pretty tired by the time I got to the summit ridge. In addition the summit ridge was more scary than I had thought from photographs beforehand. It took me a lot of concentration to avoid making any stumbles on the ridge. The local guide was totally essential for someone of my prior experience level.
We had a quick sandwich on the summit and the walked back along the summit ridge and back down the face. Due to tiredness I found the first 50 feet or so of the face below the ridge quite difficult as it was icy.
The final walk back to Klein Matterhorn felt long and tiring to me and I was very glad to reach the cable car station. In addition a lot of low cloud came in and the area was quite deserted so I was again very glad to have a local guide.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's another gorgeous day at Augusta National, and the anticipation is growing for when the tournament starts on Thursday.
Pairings for Thursday and Friday were released this morning. Click here to see pairings.
Notable tee times for Thursday include:
Patrons enjoying the sunshine on the course.
Ben Crenshaw greeting patrons as he walks down the first fairway.
Michael Thompson and Martin Laird on the practice tee.
11 a.m.
During a pre-tournament news conference, Bubba Watson got emotional talking about how he wrapped up his son, Caleb, in his green jacket after his win last year.
Watson started tearing up and talked about how much that moment meant to him.
Watson says he and his wife played 18 holes at Augusta National on Sunday. He says Caleb will be joining him as a caddie during the Par 3 Tournament on Wednesday, but he'll probably have to be carried since he's not great at walking yet.
Many of the questions asked involved Watson's amazing shot out from the trees on the 10th hole, which led to his Masters win. While Watson says he would never ask for a plaque, he certainly wouldn't mind if one was placed in that spot.
Watson says he feels confident about this year's tournament, but he's still humble.
"I don't see that I'm a hero," Watson said.
2 p.m.
Tiger Woods says he's ready for his 19th Masters.
"I feel comfortable with every aspect of my game. I feel that I've improved and I've got more consistent, and I think the wins show that. That's something that I'm proud of so far this year, and hopefully I can continue it this week and the rest of the year," Woods said.
Woods say she came to Augusta National for the first time in 1995 and was amazed by how "expansive" Amen Corner is.
"TV doesn't give it justice," he said.
Woods noted that life is about finding balance and that "life is better since I've had kids," calling it a "beautiful juggling act."
On Monday, Woods was paired with 14-year-old Tianlang Guan. Woods said Guan's play was "consistent."
"He asked a lot of game questions, whether it's what am I doing in my game or a strategy on the golf course, practice, playing. A lot of golf stuff. And I was asking him about school and stuff like that (laughter). What classes are you taking?" Woods said.
When asked about the additions of Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore as the first female members to the club, he says it's "fantastic" and called it "the right timing."
5:45 p.m.
After his news conference, Tiger Woods teed off for his practice round.

Since cellphones are prohibited, phones are provided on the course in case you need to make a call!
Here's the famous Record Fountain.
Patrons and volunteers alike were out enjoying the course today.

REDWOOD CITY -- The former head of San Mateo County's probation department was taken away in handcuffs Friday to begin serving 10 months in jail for having child pornography on a work computer and other electronic devices.
Stuart Forrest, dressed in a dark suit, was stoic as sheriff's deputies led him from a San Mateo County Superior courtroom. Before the sentence was handed down, Forrest apologized for possessing some 470 images of naked boys but maintained his defense that he had the photos for his job.
"I bought the pornography," Forrest said in court. "I didn't realize who it could hurt, even inadvertently."
At trial Forrest, 62, testified he purchased the images -- including some which were sent to his home and paid for with his credit card -- as part of research into developing procedures to train his probation officers. A San Mateo County jury rejected that explanation and convicted him in July on two felony counts of possessing child pornography.
Deputy Attorney General Johnette Jauron urged retired Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Robert Atack, who is handling the case because Forrest worked for decades in the county's justice system, to impose the maximum sentence of three years, eight months in prison. But Atack said Forrest deserved a lesser punishment, in part, because his lack of prior convictions. The judge also imposed three years probation.
Outside court Jauron said she was disappointed with the sentence but noted Forrest may still have to pay $600,000 to child sex abuse victims featured in the images found on his computers. Jauron said six children in the pictures have been identified and are each seeking $100,000 from Forrest. Atack is slated to hear arguments Oct. 25 on how much Forrest should pay.
Forrest's attorney, Jaime Leanos, said he considered the sentence fair and told the judge no one can punish Forrest as much as he has punished himself. He noted the consequences will continue after jail.
"For the rest of his life, he will have to register as a sex offender," Leanos added.
Federal postal investigators began looking into Forrest when his home address was discovered in the customer database of a child pornography mail-order company shut down by authorities. Forrest denied any knowledge of the company when confronted by police in December but was caught later the same day walking from his San Mateo house with laptop computer containing child porn, prosecutors said. He subsequently tried to kill himself with a knife but was hospitalized after deputies shocked him with a stun gun.
Forrest retired from his post at the head of the 460-employee probation department-- which has about a $75 million budget -- in December as federal postal investigators and police closed in. He worked for the county for about 34 years and was making about $140,000 a year when he stepped down.
Leanos confirmed the convictions won't prevent Forrest from getting his pension but declined to elaborate. Forrest may be entitled to most of his pension -- which officials estimated previously at $127,900 per year. Under the Public Employees Pension Reform Act he might lose benefits accrued from the first date of wrongdoing, which authorities have pegged at March 2009, San Mateo County Counsel John Beiers said. But it's unclear if or how the law applies to Forrest because he retired one day before the law took effect.
A call seeking an explanation from the head of San Mateo County's public employee retirement system was not immediately returned.Contact Joshua Melvin at 650-348-4335. Follow him at Twitter.com/melvinreport.

Israeli military: Palestinian killed after stabbing soldier
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Israel's military said a Palestinian was shot and killed after he stabbed and wounded a soldier in the West Bank on Wednesday, but the man's family disputed its version of events.
The military said that when soldiers chased Palestinians who had been throwing rocks at them near a Jewish settlement, one of the Palestinians stabbed a soldier, who responded by opening fire. The wounded soldier was taken to a hospital.
The family of the Palestinian, identified as Sari Abu Ghurab, 24, expressed shock at the army's account. His uncle, Hasan, said it "made no sense" Sari would do something like that as he was supposed to open a restaurant in a few days and was engaged to be married next month.
Since September, Palestinians have killed 34 Israelis and two visiting Americans in attacks. Some 207 Palestinians have been killed in that time, most of them identified as attackers by Israel.
Israel blames the violence on a campaign of incitement by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The Palestinians say it is rooted in decades of living under military rule and fading hopes for independence.
Israeli and Palestinian rights groups say the military has at times used excessive force to subdue attackers.

The Headline Man
So while I'm pleased Bale's been recognised in the PFA shortlist, it's bringing all the "one man team" nonsense out of the woodwork again. I feel like we've actually done alright in games he's missed as long as Lennon's been playing, but couldn't be bothered to work out the stats. Luckily, the good people at TalkSport can:
In short, this season until 5th April our win rate with Bale was 50%, and without was... 50%. We also scored less on average with him on the pitch, but conceded more. Obviously this is imperfect data as he's played more games than he's missed and it doesn't take into account the quality of the opposition & their form etc, but I think it does say perhaps the hype around him/slating of the rest of the team a bit... exaggerated?
(I'm still of the opinion being without Lennon makes a bigger difference because of the impact on the team shape, but that's an unprovable statement. At least with info from a 5 second google)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
we are a good side without him. but a much better 1 with him! he is easily our best player. another goal & even an assist today. u could just easily find stats saying we havent won without him scoring for ages. i dont think u need to stats to prove we are a much better team with bale in it. this is a good thread to prove people look too much in to stats!
- 1 Reply to Layla
Its a good point. Regardless of any stats, would you rather have Bale in the team or not? Of course you would so even if the stats said we were worse with him in the team you would ignore them.
As for the jokes about Wales having 3 teams in the PL next year (Swansea, Cardiff and Bale), well they are just banter which should be taken for what they are and not worried about. I would rather worry about Bale being hoodwinked into going for the money/glory by some mega rich club if we don't make CL than anything else.

Raceland woman dies after car crash
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 10:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 10:59 a.m.
A 24-year-old Raceland woman has died from injuries she suffered in a head-on collision April 27 with a driver police allege was drunk.
Corrected version
This story was corrected to indicate the two vehicles collided in the southbound lane.
Jeneva Billiot died Saturday at University Hospital, where she was taken after the crash, State Police Troop C said Tuesday.
Brandon Cheramie, 31, of Galliano, was driving a 2004 Jeep Laredo south on La. 1 in Galliano about 10 p.m., State Police said. A 2001 Buick LeSabre being driven north by Benjamin Sanchez, 31, of Galliano, collided with the Jeep in the southbound lane near West 106th Street.
Cheramie received minor injuries and refused treatment, State Police said. Sanchez received moderate injuries and was taken to Lady of the Sea Hospital. Billiot sustained critical injuries and was taken to Lady of the Sea Hospital in Galliano and later transferred to the New Orleans hospital.
Cheramie submitted to a breath test and was found to have a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit of 0.08 percent and was arrested for DWI, police said. The District Attorney's Office will determine if charges will be updated since Billiot's death.
Sanchez submitted a blood sample and was cleared of any alcohol involvement.
Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt, police said.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Looking for a fun date night to warm up a chilly October evening? The 2nd Annual Tahoe Fall Fest at the Big Water Grille in Incline Village on Tuesday, Oct. 16, promises to be a boot stompin' Wild West good time.
The Western-themed fundraiser begins at 6 p.m. and features a delicious Santa Maria style BBQ prepared by John Cheney from Big Water Grille and live music. Additionally, exciting raffle and silent auction items will be up for grabs, including offerings from many local North Tahoe businesses, such as hotel packages, golf, restaurants, retail, sports, photography, spa treatments and much more.
All proceeds from the event benefit Tahoe's Connections for Families, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building a strong community of families in the Northern Nevada/North Lake Tahoe area. Founded in 2001, TCF offers parent education classes and child development programs for infants and toddlers before they enter preschool. TCF has provided educational services to hundreds of children in our community, from infancy to 42-months-old, and expectant parents.
Local resident Karen Hovorka is a first-time mom to a two-year-old daughter.
"My daughter and I have attended TCF since she was an infant. TCF's parent education programs on a wide variety of early childhood topics helped me be a more confident parent to nurture my daughter's growth and development," Hovorka said. "My daughter has flourished due to TCF's developmentally-appropriate programming, and she loves to count and sing in both English and Spanish thanks to TCF's bilingual classes. We have both developed good friendships with other families in the North Tahoe region through TCF.
"TCF is an invaluable asset to families in Incline Village and throughout North Lake Tahoe."
As mom to recent TCF alumni, three-and-a-half year old twins, Kristen O'Donnell echoes this praise for TCF, especially now since her twins have started preschool.
"My twins loved going to TCF, and the skills they developed through its programs were a great preparation as they make the transition to preschool," she said. "TCF gave them an excellent foundation in social and interpersonal skills such as listening, sharing, taking turns, and following a structured routine. Additionally, TCF tailors its parent education programs to address age-specific milestones, so I've learned along with my children."
O'Donnell is quick to note the value of TCF.
"Where we lived in the Bay Area, similar classes providing similar offerings cost close to $6,000 per year, but TCF's annual fee is just over $900," she said.
TCF offers need-based scholarships, allowing any young child in the Tahoe area to build a solid educational foundation, and giving parents the tools to encourage their children to prosper.
TCF's unique programs are supported by participant fees, and through the generosity of donors and fundraising events such as the Tahoe Fall Fest.
