The present invention relates generally to the golf industry, golf courses, and more specifically to managing play on the golf course. In particular, the present invention is related to knowing where on the course the golfer is, where important features on the course are in relation to the golfer's location, and in general how to efficiently play the course.
Golf is an increasingly popular game. Twenty-five million golfers in the US alone play on over fifteen thousand US courses. To grow the golf industry must attract and retain new players while successfully accommodating the play of existing golfers. However, trends indicate that only 1 in 3 people who try golf for the first time continue to play the game (i.e. the current retention rate of new players is 33%) partly due to the fact that speed of play has slowed steadily over the past decade. In the early 70's, an average 18 hole round required 41/2 hours to complete. By the early 90's, the time had increased to 51/2 hours. Golf courses and resorts would like to improve speed of play to improve their bottom line, since more paying players on a course means more income, and more new golfers would be retained.
Slow play and low retention rates for new golfers represent significant risks for the golfing industry. Speed of play directly affects the total number of rounds played, and so the course revenue, and has an indirect impact on food and beverage sales, and merchandise sales. Perhaps more importantly, slow play decreases overall enjoyment of the game.
Before the advent of golf carts, caddies were common in the golf industry. In addition to carrying a player's golf clubs, a caddie provided a golfer with a substantial amount of information and knowledge about a course. Today, the professional caddie provides information about course layout, green configuration, yardage to hazards, and other critical elements of a professional golfer's strategic game, including evaluation of the ball's position, or lie, and suggestions on optimal club and shot selection.
However, average golfers no longer play with caddies, but use golf carts which have also become a revenue source for the golf course owner. The absence of the caddie's knowledge has had a significant negative impact on a player's ability to formulate strategy based on the lie and the local layout, especially for a player who is an occasional or first time player of a course. This lack of knowledge inhibits players from developing the strategic skills which now must be nurtured through years of playing familiar courses. The information that caddies once provided, and still provide to touring pros, would still greatly enhance the game and play of amateur golfers.
Golf industry publications and the governing bodies associated with golf are launching programs to improve speed of play. One such program is to rate courses for their speed of play. Courses which do not achieve target speeds of play will be rated less favorably than those that do.
Looking more closely, studies have indicated that there is no clear single reason causing the slow play problem. Slow play is not caused by: female golfers; high handicaps (i.e. skill level), lost balls (and time spent searching for them), or length of time spent on greens putting. The studies also show that there is no apparent quick fix to the speed of play problem. Playing through (the courtesy of allowing a faster group to get in front of a slower group) has been shown to only slow play.
Course signage can provide yardage, course layout, and hole configuration information. It's effectiveness is limited by several factors. First, signage is limited to fixed locations, usually the hole layout is shown at the tee, and typically there is a marker at 150 yards from the center of the green. The golfer cannot look at the layout sign (or see a yard marker) when the golfer is in the fairway or rough - where they need it. Second, the use of fixed yard markers encourage golfers to pace off yardage from the nearest marker to their lie and so slow the play. In addition, yard markers are not usually provided within a range of 100 yards of the pin (yet would provide critical information for these so called touch shots). Fixed yardage markers do not reflect the regular changes (i.e. daily) in pin (hole) location.
Many of these problems cannot not be readily overcome. For example, fixed yardage markers cannot be installed inside the 100 yard range without encountering issues associated with geometry of hole placement, yardage calibration point, and the radial distribution of fixed yard markings.
Yardage books provide similar information to fixed course signage. High quality printing allows yardage books to provide more detail and extensive yardage measurements from various points on the course. However, the yardage books do not provide yardage to the actual pin location. The books are cumbersome and, since the information in the book is complex in the attempt to be complete, the relevant information is not selectively presented to the golfer. Finally, yardage books, similarly to fixed yardage marking, do not provide information within 100 yards of the green.
Score cards typically provide course layouts. The graphics are usually small, often inaccurate, and provide limited resolution, and limited use in actual play.
Various companies have marketed electronic yardage systems. Yardmark, Inc. is a typical example. Yardmark is the assignee of U.S. Pat. No. 5,044,634 - invented by Dudley, for a cart mounted electronic yardage measuring system. The system uses embedded radio frequency (RF) tags to `mark` a course. The RF tags are detected by a cart mounted unit which then displays yardage to pin and yardage to hazards on an alphanumeric screen. The system has the following limitations: the screen is not dynamic, the system provides limited information beyond simple yardage differentials, and the entire information content is based on relative position and not actual location on the course. The golf course operator must commit to an extensive survey and installation of related markers and equipment before the system can be demonstrated.
Yardmark, Inc., markets another system under YARDMARK™ that determines differential yardage based on LORAN technology. Radio towers are erected at or in proximity of the course, and cart mounted units use the LORAN signals to triangulate and find their position. Alphanumeric displays indicate distance to the front and back of the green and to the pin.
RANGEMASTER™ is another LORAN based system which is being installed at golf courses. This system utilizes broadcasting towers and alphanumeric displays that are very similar to the YARDMARK™ system.
LORAN based systems are susceptible to electronic and radio frequency noise. For example, electric carts generate significant noise that will adversely affect operation of such LORAN systems. Another limitation of LORAN systems in the need to erect the local broadcast towers.
Vistatronics is marketing the Vistatronics Eagle™, a hand held laser range finding device which allows the golfer to determine yardage to pre-positioned pins (or the hole pin) equipped with plastic reflectors. The product has a limited range (�1 up to 200 yds., diminished accuracy up to 300 yds.). In addition, the range finder can only be used in line of site situations and therefore cannot provide yardage on doglegs (holes which angle significantly to the left or right), elevations, or blind shots. While the device is hand held, allowing distance to be determined (within accuracy limitations) at the exact location of the ball (assuming line of sight to a marker), its use can be cumbersome when combined with all of the activities of a golfer preparing for a shot. Finally, the system requires that the golf course operator survey and install markers on the course.
In another approach to the slow play problem, Linkstime hole timers were developed. The timers use a digital display to indicate `par time` for each hole. Golfers are encouraged to speed play in order to insure that the indicated elapsed time of play (on each hole) never exceeds the `par time`. The system is limited by several factors. When `par time` is exceeded, the golfer is alerted by an intrusive beeper. The system alerts the golfer once they are already guilty of slow play. The `alarm clock` nature of the product is hardly in keeping with the traditionalism and serenity of the golf environment.
Timers have the distinct limitation that they measure speed at the end of each hole, but the timers do not help identify the elements of slow play.
It is an object of the present invention to provide: golf cart (and so the golfer and the golfer's ball) location to within �1 yard anywhere on the course, the golfer's position relative to course landmarks, information such as distance to the pin, in-play hazards, etc., and to provide an accurate graphical display of the cart's position on a golf hole.
It is another object of the present invention to require no modification of the golf course.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide actual fairway yardage estimates to the pin and to relevant course features. Yardage estimates will reflect the realities of course layout and not simply reflect a point to point distance calculation. For example, on a dogleg hole the distance to the pin will reflect play down the fairway and not the distance from tee to pin.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide relevant distances on `blind shots` where the golfer does not have a clear line of site to their intended landing area.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide selective information where and when it is needed. This information via a graphical display includes all the relevant information needed by a golfer to evaluate and plan the next shot, that is the club, the direction, where the trouble lies, how far of a carry is needed, is the group ahead clear. etc.
It is an object of the present invention to provide the location of all carts on the course to a base station, so slow play can be identified and messages sent to each cart to urge speedier play. In addition, the base station can indicate the location of golf groups ahead of each group to prevent hitting into the group ahead. Another object is to provide a display of the course layout and all cart locations to a course ranger's mobile unit so that the ranger may physically intervene where problems may occur.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a display the positions of other golfers nearby so that players may hit their ball without impacting those other golfers.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide suggestions on play from the golf pro, these suggestions by text on the display screen or in the form of a video of the pro.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a profile of an ideal round where time and position of a given cart are measured against the profile of an ideal round and the golfer is given a continuous evaluation of their pace of play: at the tee, on the fairway, chipping out of a bunker, putting off a green, or picking up refreshments at the turnaround (typically the time between the 9th and 10th holes).
And yet another object of the present invention is to provide a system that is less susceptible to noise.
The preceding objects are met in a golf information and management apparatus including a first receiver constructed and arranged to accept satellite signals from at least three sources, and to convert said satellite signals into first computer readable signals, a second receiver constructed and arranged to accept a correction signal, and to convert said correction signal into second computer readable signals, computer means that accepts the first and second computer readable signals, said computer means pre-loaded with information relevant to playing golf course, means to send the first and second computer readable signal to said computer means, where the computer means determines relative locations on the golf course, and display means to report the relative locations to the golfer. Use of three satellites allows the position of the cart to be determined and use of four or more satellites allows the vertical position of the cart to be determined.
In a preferred embodiment there is an additional communication means for sending the location of the cart or player to the base station. With such communication means the base station can communicate information on position of player group ahead to prevent hitting into the group ahead or send speed-up or other messages to any cart.
The pre-loaded relevant information includes the location of features on the course - the pin on the green, all the hazards and out-of-bounds in play, the relative vertical heights, the distance to the doglegs, wherein the computer via the display communicates the distance of the cart to all the features in play such that the player can evaluate and plan the next shot. However, in some preferred embodiments and in certain situations relative vertical height can be calculated accurately without pre-loaded information.
The invention provides useful information to golfers on the course, while they are playing. The information includes location, course layout, green configuration, pin location, pro's notes or pro video (suggestions from the golf pro), a speed-of-play indicator, and other elements useful to golfers (e.g. relative elevation of the pin, wind conditions, other cart locations). The invention provides course management with a display of cart locations throughout the course, speed-of-play indications for each of those carts, and communications with the golfers (through cart mounted units). The system provides the very information that is used by today's professional player's to evaluate a given lie and plan their next shot.
Information is displayed in a graphical format, allowing the golfer to quickly assimilate the critical information. The golfer's location is indicated by an icon overlaid on a course schematic. Distance to the pin and relevant course hazards are apparent from the graphical display, but in addition, are calculated and displayed numerically for ease of use.
In a preferred embodiment the satellite system is the Navigational Satellite Timing and Ranging or NAVSTAR where the satellite signal include clocking information, and where the computer means includes an internal clock, and where the computer means compares the received clock information and compares the received clock information to the internal clock to determine the position of the cart.
Other objects, features and advantages will be apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram/schematic of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram/schematic of the cart/mobile unit;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram/schematic of the base unit;
FIG. 4 is a detail view of the graphical display showing the cart at the tee;
FIG. 5 is a detail view of the graphical display showing the cart on the fairway;
FIG. 6 is a detail view of the graphical display showing pin and green;
FIG. 7 is a detail view of the graphical display at the base station.
FIG. 1 shows the functional elements of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Four satellites 2 which broadcast radio frequency (RF) signals to the earth. These RF signals are received by the antenna 4 at a fixed, known base station that is constructed into the club house or pro-shop of a golf course. The RF signal are also received by antenna 6 on a golf cart, a mobile unit that carries golfers on their play around the golf course. This system provides the elements to locate the cart anywhere on the golf course. A preferred embodiment allows useful position information to be calculated by receiving only three satellite signals.
The basic position locating system is a NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) augmented with local differential correction in order to achieve the required accuracy. The mobile GPS receivers 6 are used to track navigation signals from the constellation of GPS satellites 2.
Differential correction is achieved through the base (master) receiver and computer system 8 pre-positioned at the course. The master receiver tracks the GPS signals, converts and processes the signals and broadcasts pseudo range corrections via an antenna 10 to the mobile positioning units (carts) 12 on the golf course. An RF antenna/receiver 14 on the cart (separate from the GPS receiver) picks up the differential corrections broadcast from the master or base station. A preferred embodiment uses pseudorange correction based differential techniques to achieve the � one yard position accuracy. Other preferred embodiments use carrier phase differential or position differential techniques.
FIG. 2 shows the block diagram/schematic of the cart 12 unit. Antenna 6 receives the GPS signals from the satellites 2 and processes and translates these signals into computer compatible signals that are fed to the computer 16. The RF antenna 14 receives the correction signal from the base unit and converts this signal to a computer compatible signal for the computer. The computer 16 receives, processes and translates the processed satellite and correction signal to provide an absolute Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) position, expressed, in this preferred embodiment in milliseconds (ms) of latitude and longitude and centimeters of height relative to a standard ellipsoid. The computer then outputs to the graphical display 18 the position on a display of the hole being played.
FIG. 3 shows the block diagram of the base station. This embodiment utilizes two GPS antennas 4 and 4A for redundancies. The received satellite signals are fed to the computer 20. The base unit has a predetermined known location and sends out correction signals to the carts or other mobile units via the RF antenna 10. An un-interruptible power supply is used to ensure reliable operation under aberrant power occurrences.
The GPS and DGPS (Differential GPS) system is well known in the art and is explained in a paper entitled, GPS TECHNOLOGY AND OPPORTUNITIES, by Clyde Harris and Roy Sikorski. This paper was written for presentation at EXP COMM CHINA 1992, and said paper is incorporated by reference, as if laid out in full, herein. However, a brief explanation of the principles follows. The satellites broadcast a clock's signal, so that the mobile unit that want to calculate its position, receives four clocked signals from four satellites. The satellite clocks are kept synchronized to standard GPS time. The receiver has a clock that is unsynchronized to the GPS time, but can measure the offsets from the four GPS satellites. The receiver will process these timed signals together with the computer's internal clock. Knowing that the receiver has an fixed time offset compared to the four satellite clock signals, and that there is another difference between the mobile clock and each of the satellite clocks since each satellite is at a different distance from the mobile unit, the computer can compute the three dimensional position (longitude, latitude, altitude) of the mobile unit. This calculation entails solving four simultaneous equations as is well known in the art. By applying a differential techniques the accuracy of the DGPS can be made to � one yard which is suitable for golfing. This differential technique requires a base station with a known location. The base station receives the same four satellite signals as the mobile unit, from the satellite clocks as described above the base station determines its location. The base station then calculates corrections (offsets) for pseudoranges of visible satellites. The pseudorange corrections are calculated by the base station so that when added to the pseudoranges derived from the satellite signals, the corrected pseudoranges yield the known position of the base station. Such pseudorange correction factors are then sent to the mobile units. This error is then sent to the mobile units via another channel so that the mobile unit can apply the error correction to determine the mobile units location to within � one yard. Useful information is obtained if only three satellites are used - here only two dimensional information can be obtained, e.g. the location (longitude/latitude), but not the altitude.
FIG. 4 shows the graphic display 26 on the cart. The cart CPU is pre-loaded with a map 29 of each hole. The display has basic hole information 32 for the first hole, i.e., par 4, the distances to the green center from each tee "383" yards from the long tee 32, "365" yards form the middle tee, and 330 yards form the short tee, the handicap hole number, including all the hazards. The hazard 28 is highlighted as it is in play while the green-side bunker hazard is shown but not highlighted since it is not in play. The golfer's position 36 also is highlighted on the graphical hole layout. From the golfer's position the CPU further calculates actual fairway yardage distance to pin 36, the distance to hazards in play 38 and other critical information. Based on location, the unit retrieves stored pro's notes 40 that provide strategy based on the current lie and other elements of the golfers play. For example, the pro's notes can describe an aggressive shot, a safe shot, or a beginner's shot. In another preferred embodiment a video and audio can be displayed showing an individual giving advice or tips for playing each hole, such video provides a more friendly version of the golf pro's notes. In another preferred embodiment, the system shows the golfer's speed of play 42 and an evaluation of the golfer's round so far (as embodied in cart movements) to determine which type of advice is most applicable.
In another preferred embodiment the cart displays a "fly-by" of the hole. A simulated video is shown on the mobile unit display of the view of a helicopter flying along the fairway from the tee to the green.
The system can provide a continuous evaluation of a golfer's speed of play. The cart cpu can store a profile of an `ideal` 18 hole round. The `ideal` round represents the continuous elapsed time/position profile of the course pro (or other designated player) playing an 18 hole round. Such an `ideal` round serves as a template for evaluating speed of play. The `ideal` round embodies important factors like the overall time required to play a round, the subtleties of a good rhythm, and the nonlinear nature of time required to tee off, play the fairway, put off the green, or play a par 3 as over against a par 5. In another preferred embodiment, the base station can update the speed bar 42, or alternatively send information to the cart via the RF antenna 14 to indicate slow play compared to other on the course. In addition, (not shown) the base unit can show on the display other groups playing the same hole or nearby and so indicate when it is necessary to wait until the group ahead has moved on.
In yet another preferred embodiment the speed bar 42 provides an evaluation of each golfer's speed of play. As a golfer falls behind the `ideal` position/time profile, the speed bar icon turns red and slides to the left. As the golfer picks up pace and moves ahead of the `ideal` round profile, the golfer turns green and moves to the right of the Speed Bar.
In a preferred embodiment, the graphical display can provide at least the following information:
location on the course and location of other nearby groups
course layout
pin location
green configuration
pin location
fairway yardage
distance to significant hazards and position to hazard contours
pro's notes
FIG. 5 shows the graphical display of the cart when in the fairway. Here the display shows only the relevant or in play part of the hole. The green side bunker 30 is highlighted and the cart's position id shown. The other items are as in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows the green in detail with detail of the pin location 46 and the relevant distance and notes for the green.
FIG. 7 shows the graphical display at the base station, or on a rangers mobile unit. Here the entire golf course or any particular part is shown. All the carts are highlighted to facilitate course management.
The base unit consists of a PC 20, two GPS receivers 5 and 7, two GPS antennae 4 and 4A, a radio transmitter/modem 9, and an RF antenna 10. The PC provides a display, CPU, data storage, and sufficient I/O capabilities. The two GPS receivers allow the base unit to track all of the satellites in view (in one embodiment the GPS receiver is limited to 5 channels, in another, 6 channels, etc.) and provide a level of redundancy if one of the units should fail (in this embodiment, the base unit is essential to the operation of the mobile receivers whereas if a mobile GPS unit fails, that single unit can be replaced).
The base unit performs other functions in addition to broadcasting the differential corrections. It provides a mechanism for broadcasting messages to all carts or any specific cart. The broadcasts can include notices from the clubhouse, weather alerts, advertising, leader board updates, etc.
In another preferred embodiment, the base unit can be used to coordinate corporate events and tournaments. Updated scores and information are broadcast to the golfers playing the course.
In another embodiment, the carts are equipped with an RF broadcast capability and broadcast their position to other carts and the base unit. In this embodiment, the base unit displays the entire course with an overlay of every cart, it's position, and an indication of the cart's speed of play. The system provides an immediate evaluation of course through-put and any speed of play problems as they arise. The same information, in another embodiment, can be communicated to a mobile display mounted on a ranger's cart.
The ranger unit would display all cart locations and their speed of play. This unit would allow rangers to more effectively manage players on the course. The unit at least would identify slow play before it causes a backup and reduces course through-put.
The cart mounted units with broadcast capability will allow additional features. For example, the golfer will place food and beverage orders while playing the course. Today, beverage carts typically roam the fairway and sell refreshments to golfers. One embodiment of the system will allow golfers to summon the beverage cart anywhere on the course (prior art includes fixed systems where telephones are installed at various points around the course and golfers are able to call in orders to the clubhouse). Refreshments could be ordered in advance so they are available at the turnaround, further speeding play.
It will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that other embodiments, improvements, details and uses can be made consistent with the letter and spirit of the foregoing disclosure and within the scope of this patent, which is limited only by the following claims, construed in accordance with the patent law, including the doctrine of equivalents.

Calzaghe: If Froch Makes it a War, I Give Him a Chance
Retired super middleweight great Joe Calzaghe is giving his one-time rival, Carl Froch (28-2, 20 KOs), a shot to defeat unbeaten IBF champion Lucian Bute (30-0, 24 KOs) on May 26th in Nottingham. Before Calzaghe retired a few years ago, Froch was trying to chase him down. The two fighters buried their bad blood after Calzaghe retired.
If Froch can draw Bute into a war, Calzaghe gives him a shot to win. Calzaghe does not expect the fight to be easy. He expects Bute to give Calzaghe a very rough night.
Calzaghe told SunSport: "Bute's defintely the favorite but home advantage does count for a lot. If Froch can drag him into a war and make it a toe-to-toe affair, I can see the crowd spurring him on to the win. All I would say is that Bute wouldn't have come to England unless he was confident. It's going to be a tough, tough night, but I think Froch has got a chance."
"It's going to be another tough fight for Froch and Bute is the favorite. He's undefeated, a southpaw and is very powerful and strong, while Froch is coming off a loss where he pretty much got beaten comfortably by Ward. Fair play to Froch, he's looking for redemption and deserves credit for the fact he's been willing to travel to people's backyards in his last few fights. He's got what he deserves — a big fight in Nottingham — but it's going to be tough for him."
[QUOTE=Scrubber;12129512]Froch is too slow for Bute. [B]Calzage was nothing but an average fighter also who never left home.[/B] Froch and the Cocaine Joe were average at best.[/QUOTE] Get the hell over it already.Comment by Scrubber on 05-15-2012
Froch is too slow for Bute. Calzage was nothing but an average fighter also who never left home. Froch and the Cocaine Joe were average at best.Comment by wallworkjake123 on 05-15-2012

Skip to comments.Model Smuggles Cuba Photos in Bra (Caution, may have images of models and bras)
Posted on 02/01/2006 11:07:55 AM PST by Onelifetogive
Top Czech model Helena Houdova was arrested in Cuba last week while taking photographs of Havana's slums but she managed to smuggle out pictures she hid in her bra.
Houdova Miss Czech Republic 1999 was arrested along with fellow model Mariana Kroftova, and Cuban police confiscated a roll of film in the womens camera. However, Houdova concealed the memory card of her digital camera insider her brassiere.
"The revolution's watchmen rose up because I was taking pictures of something they do not like," Houdova told journalists after returning to the Czech Republic.
The Communist regime of Fidel Castro denies the existence of slums on the island.
The two women spent 11 hours in police custody and were not allowed to contact the Czech embassy. Upon their release, the women were asked to sign a statement saying they would not travel beyond Havana, and they remained under police surveillance until their departure from the island, according to the Czech news source Ceskenoviny.
The photos Houdova saved will be included in an exhibition she plans to organize together with People in Need, a Czech humanitarian relief organization that has supported Cuba's pro-democracy opposition. The exhibition would portray Cubas beautiful scenery but also highlight its political oppression, Houdova disclosed.
During her 10-day stay in Cuba, Houdova said, her meetings with dissidents, the wives of political prisoners and ordinary Cubans reminded her of her childhood in Communist Czechoslovakia.
The Czech Foreign Ministry summoned the Cuban charge d'affairs in Prague to explain the conduct of the Cuban authorities in arresting the two women.
Czech-Cuban political relations have been frozen since the fall of communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989. The Czech Republic has attempted several times to push through U.N. resolutions critical of Castros regime over its record on human rights.
They have been kicking since they were two. I was once surprised by the way that a middle-aged German teacher was able to dribble an American football! thirty yards and then boot it through the goal posts from the 20 yard line.
Can't have anything posted that is contrary to their view of Cuba as a real paradise.
Someone with the ability should post this over there.
I was of course referring to the memory disks.
On a serious note, I certainly do applaud her bravery and her commitment to her cause.
Fighting Commies Bump!
Well, it's common knowledge conservative babes look the best.
How does one "dribble" an American footbal?.........You mean soccerball?........
JerseyGop should look into adding her next to this cherished list: http://www.jerseygop.com/R_babes/index.html
Does anyone know where I could possibly send her a nice email or note? Also is that display she is doing going to be in here home country?
Nope, an AMERICAN football! He was able to keep it away from a bunch of 8-grade soccer players for thirty yards just using his feet. He even figured out how to use the shape to keep it away from the tacklers.
I believe she lives at least part time in New York, so she'll probably have an exibition there as well.
Thanks Skylab...
[ "She didn't have to smuggle the pictures, she could have just pointed everyone to this site: The Real Cuba" ]
Where do you think that site gets all their photos, silly?! [ \ just kidding ]
Now I'd like to take a look at those.......photos I mean.
resistance is futile.
I surrender already! Take the whole island and me with you.
Just Gooooooooooooogle her name............
And nobody loves them like elitist leftists who think that they will be in charge.
I believe, in this case, it should be "Thanks for the mammaries".
Actually you're absolutely right, I was just trying to get a plug in for that great site.
Fidel is right. To say that there is a slum is to say that some parts are worse than others. The whole island is a in terrible shape.
Actually to call them slums would be demeaning to slums.
You have to ask the question, "Who could possibly want to live in a corrupt police state where a few individuals oppress the majority?"
The only reasonable answer: "Those who think they will be the "few individuals."
Houdova thought she'd smuggle stuff out in her bra?
Beautiful, ethical and has guts. Very nice combination IMO. Good for her, she can sure sleep well at night. Her helping to expose Cuba for what it is at risk to herself is very brave.
All kidding aside, last year Castro decided to "fight" the US by setting up a huge billboard across the street from the American embassy showing the now famous picture of an Abu Ghraib prisoner being "tortured" by being forced to wear women's underwear on his heads.
Cuban women have a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor, and commented that this billboard was the closest they'd been to quality undergarments since 1960.
Even more are of German ancestry, like my great, great, grandparents who settled in 1850's era Texas ... in the Fayetteville area, the so-called "cradle of Czech settlement" in Texas ....
This explains a bit about Texan women - beautiful, smart and headstrong.
I don't get it.
It's a good thing she wasn't wearing that particular shirt!!! LOL!
I don't think some Freepers realize the seriousness of this news bite. It's about more than a model's cute face and actions; it's about the life and death of an oppressed people. I'm a little sick at some comments; nevertheless, I am grateful to Helena for such bravery in getting the truth out. I long for the day when all Fidel-like excrement will be only a memory ...
I think most everyone realizes it....
you ever see eyes EXPLODE before???

do we let the shares go before ambushing them with buy orders?
The lower the better. Why should a tiny mom-and-pop insurance company in a dying sector trade this high? ITIC could be a $20 stock.
I agree. It would be speculative at $20 per share, but at that price I might buy fifty or even one hundred shares. Do you think I should hold out for mid-teens before dipping my toes in the water?
Thank you very much for the message in my native language. I agree very much with the sentiments you mentioned. Those occidentals should get their eyes fixed and eat more rice!
tsar, today's trading suggests that the market thought that you were referring to ITIC in writing, "But there are stocks selling for half what I think they're worth."
Let's see if this distortion of what you posted can take it below $20:
"But there are stocks that should sell for half of what the market thinks they're worth."
Listening to Johnny sing "Wabash Cannonball" while drinking coffee coupled with a price below 40 would definitely do the trick.
I thought Ring of Fire fit very well the past couple of months. "Down, down, down, that ring of fire, burns, burns, burns, etc, whatever, ring of fire baby."
ITIC at 40 was definitely one of those I had in mind. Kumbi is another. PKX at 70 probably doesn't qualify anymore, but at 55 I think it did.
If ITIC drops below 40, my buying goes nuclear.
"Wabash Cannonball" has a line about lonesome hoboes that really hits home.

They go under several business names to con many people.
They are all linked to a very large raid conducted in 2010 under the names of Company Funds, Ein Credit Group and SBA Consulting Services and they are about to get raided again soon.
The McLeod address is a virtual office. They are actually at 900 Karen Ave. All employees go by fake names. Most of
the employees have quit due to postings.
You should know that Small Business Advisers Inc also belongs to them. Pacific has 4 owners Gary Bush Tom Adams John
Bausch and Ignacio Nachi Jimenez. The latter of the two are the worst and are flying under the radar. They had an office on Paradise as well but are moving that near Sunset in an office shared by John Kinney.

The return of mayor Rob Ford from two months in rehab brought a smile to the face of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night. Kimmel opened his monologue by telling his audience he felt like the little girl in Frosty the Snowman when Frosty comes back to life, saying he had ''missed that sweaty, pink man.'' Like other late night talk show hosts, Kimmel has made Ford a frequent target and even had the mayor on his program to poke fun at him. He zeroed in on Ford's weight loss, asking whether the mayor went into rehab or ''into the woods to give birth to a horse,'' and played a clip of Ford thanking rehab staff with his head superimposed over a muscular, body-builder-like physique. Kimmel ended by offering Ford congratulations and saying ''we'll keep our fingers crossed.'' Most other talk shows were on an off night of in reruns, although David Letterman was a rerun from the day Ford announced he was entering rehab.

2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Convertible CLK550 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
I've owned just about everything but truly exotic cars, i.e. Ferrari, Rolls, Bentley, Maserati, etc. This Benz, with the 5.5 liter engine, is one of the most powerful cars I've had. The styling appeals to women of taste and the performance appeals to anyone who likes gobs of horsepower, push you to the seat acceleration and so on. I believe this car will become a collector's edition over time. Mine is white, with light beige seats and a black top. At gas stations people almost always say, "What a beautiful car". There are more expensive convertibles, but few with the "wow factor" of this vehicle.
Styling, power, handling, sound system, ride, build quality.
Better Nav system. Lower maintenance costs. M-B dealers extract blood from you when it's service time.
Although I was initially concerned about the mpg, that's become a non- issue. The performance, sound system and luxury is outstanding. The seating for four works, allowing the entire family to cruise PCH and enjoy the weather. Highly recommend this car.
Speed, performance, speed, performance and sound system.
Locking compartments. You can't use the trunk for everything.
This is a great car. I moved up from an Acura CL-S, so it was an upgrade on all fronts. The acceleration is silky smooth. For the most part, the engine is quiet but still can let out that great sounding growl when you really jam the pedal. There's no cooler sound than rolling through a short tunnel and hitting the gas just before the mouth It's like a sonic boom! Mine is fully loaded, with the P3 package and just about every option available. I think the P2 package is enough though, and you don't need silly options like the automatic trunk opener/closer.
I would highly recommend getting the 550 over the 350. This stout engine is really worth it. Whether it's from a dead stop or already going 60 on the highway, you always have a ton of power in your back pocket whenever you need it. With its top down, the CLK has few rivals in terms of looks.
I think the navigation system needs some work. My Acura's nav is much more intuitive and useful (and it's 8 years old). It needs to be a touch screen as entering addresses takes forever using a joystick. Sound system needs a little tweaking. I like my Acura's Bose better than the HK.

A group of local Boy Scouts officially became Eagle Scouts.
Nine boys of Troop Seven can now be considered Eagle Scouts after their Eagle Scout Recognition Ceremony. Joe Price is the Troop Seven Scout Master. He says this group of boys should be very proud of themselves.
"They've pretty much stayed together if you look at their rank, they pretty much have earned it all at the same time. They are all just the best of friends and they continue to enjoy scouting and working on it together. A lot of boys by this age would have dropped out of scouting," exclaimed Joe Price.
Jonathon Huntley is a new Eagle Scout. He says it is a special accomplishment for him.
"It's special because I've been working on it since I was three years old, been working up to this day, proud to be here with all my friends. We all made it to Eagle, everybody I grew up with," expresses Huntley.
The recognition ceremony was held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Troop Seven is from the Choctaw Area Council.

I contacted WorldCom and explained that I never received monthly invoices and that they could not expect me to make the full payment on all three phones. I was advised by WorldCom that they were behind on their billing and that they expected full payment or the phones would be disconnected. I advised them it was impossible and that it was their fault not mine that I never received an invoice, so how could they expect the full payment. At that point I started to make payments of $50.00 on one cellular phone and requested my contract be cancelled. They advised that as of May 23, 2002 my contract will expire.
I was advised via U.S. Mail that my accounts were being sent to collection if payment was not paid in full. I have paid the amount due and owning on one cellular phone but two remain outstanding.
Because of WorldCom's failure to send my invoices monthly and having them sent to collection have damaged my excellent credit. I have tried contacting them via telephone and the voice message says that "we are experiencing a high number of calls at this please try your call later" and by via e-mail but apparently the e-mail is not valid.
There seems to be no way of contacting WorldCom only the collection department, Progressive Financial Services, whom I also explained my situation with WorldCom.
WorldCom should compensate me and any other individual who has had this same experience as well as compensate me for damage to my name/credit.

In Peerless Indemnity Insurance Company v. Phillips, No. H-12-1145 (S.D. Tex. Apr. 17, 2013), the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted in part and denied in part the insurer's motion for summary judgment. The court found that the insurer had no duty to defend a law firm and one of its partners for allegations of conversion and negligent defamation because the alleged injuries arose out of intentional statements made by the law firm partner with knowledge of their falsity. The court, however, determined that the duty to indemnify was not ripe because the underlying lawsuit is still pending in state court.
In 2006, Michael Phillips of Phillips Akers Womac represented Dinesh Shah in a civil suit filed by Joan Johnson, an heiress to the Exxon fortune. After Johnson won a substantial money judgment, Shah offered and Phillips accepted thousands of private documents that Shah had stolen from Johnson. Phillips ultimately used the stolen documents to write and publish a book entitled Monster in River Oaks, which describes Shah's victimization of Johnson and her children (the Johnsons). Consequently, the Johnsons filed suit against Phillips, his law firm, and the publishing company in Harris County, Texas. The Johnsons alleged that Phillips intentionally converted the Johnsons' property by depriving them of the stolen items, and published a multitude of defamatory statements causing injury. The Johnsons further contended that Phillips' defamatory statements were committed with gross negligence.
Phillips sought a defense from his insurer, Peerless Indemnity Insurance Company. Peerless refused and filed a declaratory judgment action in which it moved for summary judgment on the grounds that the alleged property damage was not caused by an "occurrence" and the "knowledge of falsity" exemption excludes any damages resulting from "personal and advertising injury."
Noting that the Peerless policy only covers property damage caused by an "occurrence," which the Policy defines as an "accident," the court found that the underlying petition did not support Phillips' claim that he only used documents of public record to write the book. Because the underlying petition alleged that Phillips intentionally deprived the Johnsons of their property, the court held that the property damage was not accidental and, therefore, not an "occurrence."
In further analyzing whether the Peerless policy provided coverage for the Johnsons' defamation claim, the court observed that, although the underlying petition may have stated a claim for negligence, the "knowledge of falsity" exemption applied because the petition made no factual contentions constituting negligent, careless, or reckless behavior. Thus, Peerless had no duty to defend.
Nevertheless, the court denied Peerless' motion as it related to the duty to indemnify. The court explained that such a duty will turn on facts the Johnsons might actually prove in the underlying action. Because the action is still pending, the court deferred resolution of the indemnity issues.

In all of world history. Who's your favorite historical figure?
Famous or infamous doesn't matter.
Mel Gibson.
Hitler of course
I don't know, but Theodore Roosevelt was incredibly bad ass.
I know it's a spoiled cliché by now, and then some, but it has always been Leonardo Da Vinci. I admire creative people and he kind of personifies creativity, for me, aswell as a master of his instruments.
Clearly, I don't tell people this unless I want to get into discussions of grails being vaginas and some dude being a woman in a painting. Couldn't care less.
@PeasantAbuse said:
I don't know, but Theodore Roosevelt was incredibly bad ass.
This was pretty much going to be exactly my response.
Alexander the Great is my favorite i guess, either him or Hitler both fascinate me.
As an economics student I admire John Maynard Keynes. I also admire the ex-Australian prime minister Ben Chifley
Obviously, this is a hard question to answer.
I will go with one most probably don't know. Nathanael Greene had no military experience at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. He was raised by a father that hated the idea of being educated, so he had to teach himself. He learned what he knew about war strategy from reading books and rose through the ranks of Washington's army to become one of it's best generals.
There are many great people from the American Revolution that one could choose.
I'm not sure. It depends in what context. If we're talking military conquerers, Alexander the Great had a kingdom twice the size of the Roman Empire by the time he was 30. Speaking of ancient Greece, I really like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle as well. I also like Leonardo da Vinci, but not for his paintings. In terms of music, Beatles maybe... or Elvis... or Bach. Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, anyone who's made a contribution to science. And Shigeru Miyamoto.
Jesus Christ
Either Churchill or Albert I. Both faced the brunt of human brutishness and thuggery with immeasurable courage. Though, to be honest, I still have a lot of history to catch up on -- I look forward to it.
@coakroach said:
Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.
I'm not even Finnish, but this guy was one badass motherfucker.
@mylifeforAiur said:

Those, as well as Bór-Komorowski, Abraham Lincoln, W. T. Sherman, and Hannibal have to be some of the most interesting historical figures, but favourite? Thomas Paine.
Does myself count?
I'm very interested in the great conquerors, like Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great or Julius Ceasar.
If you haven't already, read some books by Conn Iggulden, he's made novels about Khan and Ceasar which are mostly historic but with a few changes for the sake of narrative. Good reads.
Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Churchill because he's badass.
Alexander the great was a genius.
Winston Churchill or Isambard Kindom Brunel
Roger Ebert
Wilt Chamberlain. He knew how to get his if ya know what I mean.
Ron Jeremy
@FluxWaveZ said:
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
I blame video games
You posted a historical figure whose existence is accepted, despite not having enough sources to confirm said existence? In that case, I'll go with Socrates, since most of what we know about the dude is from Plato using him as a mouthpiece for whatever he wanted to say. Also, his story is still a very appealing one; it pulls off Greek tragedy and the quest for knowledge really well.
See what I did there?
Tycho Brahe! Gold noses all around!
Going to say Frederick II (of the HRE, not Prussia). He was a cunning bastard. Maybe not the most successful emperor militarily but he did some great diplomacy for the 13th century, and a very secular mind. And he wrote texts on falconry that I've heard are still used (though art was so bad back then, i have trouble believing it.)
Andrew Jackson
His only regret in life was that he didn't kill enough people.

Inspired by her world travels and fashion from the 1920s and 1930s, Navales personally sources all of her fabrics locally. She also employs a staff of skilled artisans who create each ruffled bikini, crocheted swimsuit and other Undrest garment using eco-friendly practices. Undrest's black and white Water leggings, Rio caged back bandeau bikini and other best-selling designs have appeared in <I>Cosmopolitan</i> and on style blogs worldwide.
When our buyers brought in this gorgeous bounty of undergarments and loungewear from Undrest, Cosabella, and others, more than a few of us immediately put in requests for sick days (in our minds, at least). Who could blame us? From beautifully-sewn ballerina briefs and sexy sheer mesh robes to flirty babydoll nightgowns and borrowed-from-the-boys pajama pants, the selection here is perfect for relaxing on the couch (or in the bedroom) for hours on end.

I was ALREADY on Cloud 9! How can it get better?!

Finally we arrived at Ta Prohm! YAY! I was hoping I would love this one, and I did! It is not nearly as well preserved as the others, but I think that is what makes it so magical! It has been eaten up by mother nature! Giant trees and their roots devour the stones of the temple. Vines and moss cover what used to be this magnificent structure! This is where Tomb Raider was filmed. Again, full of people, but we found a way to escape them ...
