Created in this Craftsy class
In Craftsy's first-ever Block of the Month, Amy Gibson brings you 10 specific quilting techniques - appliqué, string quilting, paper piecing and more.
Other projects made as part of this class:
Offer some kudos...
Join the conversation...
Ask a question...
Add your comment...
What materials did you use? Fat quarters = Westminster Fibers Garden Divas by jane Sassaman for Spirit Spirit, (I'm afraid that I have cut off the selvidge edge on the other fabrics)...and some dotted solid fabrics from my stash
What are you most proud of? That I'm going to fearlessly try new technics, (thanks to Amy), and have challenged myself to try and quilt this on my home machine...thanks to the encouragement of Leah!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? It's a joy! The teachers are amazing, talented, and give wonderful instruction. Give it a try. An experienced sewer can take it to their level, someone just beginning to sew or quilt will have excellent instruction, and can use skills learned in all of their sewing. Since it's the end of the year, and if you have time, watch the entire class, then you will have a better idea on fabric choices. Look at the pictures of quilts posted by others and you will find that you can be very creative and make the quilt personal to your style.
Unusual - I love fussy cuts... and the colors on your modern log cabin are beautiful
Now that I've looked at all your blocks, I LOVE all your fabrics
thank you very much! I'm thrilled that you like my fabrics. Thank you for taking the time to send such a nice message.
Thank you.
Thank you all! You made me so happy to read your nice words...!
Everything looks great--wonderful fabric choices too!
Thank you, I hope they all go together at the end . I don't know if all the fabrics were from the same line. I bought them in a bundle, but there was no info on the fabrics! We'll see!.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful work! Love your fussy cuts - they're perfect!

The Voice's second round of battles continued Tuesday with a masterful performance by Lewis, a former vocal director for Céline Dion (yes, really), and Biff Gore, a father of six coach Blake Shelton stole from Team Usher.
The duo's showstopping rendition of James Brown's "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World" brought all four coaches to their feet – and they became effusive with their praise.
"Sisaundra, I am 80 percent sure you are not from planet Earth," coach Adam Levine declared in awe, while Shakira proclaimed her register as "sick, sick, sick."
"The commitment Sisaundra has, you can tell every ounce of it is real," Levine also said. "Biff, you have the same thing Sisaundra has, the ability to go out and say, 'I'm going to feel this.' All we ever try to teach anybody on this show is what you guys did."
Chris Martin a Guest MentorShelton echoed the praise his fellow coaches showered on both his team members, but ultimately chose Lewis, explaining, "I can't miss out on the opportunity to work with a one in a trillion vocalist like Sisaundra." (Even guest mentor Chris Martin agreed. During rehearsals, the newly single Coldplay frontman called Lewis "a little too good. There's only a few people in the world who can sing like that.")
Yet Lewis wasn't the only singer to impress the coaches Tuesday. Team Usher's Stevie Jo, a Texas R&B singer with heavy metal roots, and Morgan Wallen, a landscaper with no formal vocal training, transcended One Direction in their performance of "Story of My Life."
"That was a song originally sung by boys. It was sung by a couple of men on that stage," Levine announced. "That was awesome."
The coaches were particularly impressed with Wallen's previously undiscovered falsetto, a skill so new it surprised the contestant himself. Yet coach Usher, who appeared to be channeling Davy Crockett in a coonskin cap, ultimately chose Stevie Jo, citing his "soulful essence."
But that was not the end of The Voice journey for Wallen, who was saved by Levine in dramatic fist-bump fashion in the final moments of the show.
"Morgan has rare soulfulness I don't even think he realizes he has," Levine explained of his decision. "Seeing that quality in a guy with so little experience is really special."
More Soulful MomentsAlso soulful was Team Shakira's Ddendyl and Deja Hall's haunting performance of "Say Something."
Although the duo impressed the coaches, Shakira ultimately chose San Antonio high school junior Hall, explaining that she's the "one person who made the most progress and most tangible changes, so I'm curious to find out what happens."
It was not an easy win for Hall, who struggled to connect with the song of heartbreak during rehearsals, having never experienced it herself. Yet mentor Martin – who certainly knows a thing or two about it right now – asked her, "What about Harry Styles?," then jokingly declared his love for the boy bander, "I mean me too, by the way."
The Voice's second round of battles concludes Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

Local woman talks about losing husband in distracted driving incident
Judy Noble urges people to concentrate on road, not cellphone
Judy Noble of Palm Desert unfortunately knows all too well about the consequences of distracted driving. Her husband, 65-year-old Dan Cotty was killed in December 2011 when he was involved in an accident at an intersection not far from where the couple lived in Yucca Valley.
According to the San Bernardino County sheriff's incident report, Cotty's car was hit by a woman driving an SUV with two children aboard, as she glanced at her cellphone.
"And in that second, that one second it took for that person to look at the phone her vehicle had gone through a stop sign, T-boned my husband and the SUV the driver was in rolled I think twice," said Noble.
While the driver of the SUV and the children were not seriously hurt, the most recent statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show the number of Americans killed in distracted driving wrecks rose 8 percent in 2011 to more than 3,300.
What frustrates Noble is despite the death toll, a lot of motorists aren't getting the message.
"I still see people driving down the road on this block and I tell you, it's really hard for me not to say, 'You -- hang up and then drive,'" said Noble, who can't help but think she'd still have her husband if everyone followed her advice.
"Every day is a struggle because I lost my other half, my best friend. There's a huge hole," said Noble.

This is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. May I share it with friends on other sites?
So, you brought home a new Internet Troll. Congratulations! If you are a first timer having a troll, you may have questions. Here are a few suggestions so that you and your troll can live in karmic balance. Now remember, each troll is different and your results may vary. However, this primer should help you get on your way. Welcome to the world of having a troll!
How do I refer to my troll now that I have him/her?
First, your troll may show up already named. Yet, you will find the pre-fab names to be rather unoriginal such as Annonymous [sic], ihateyou or yousuck. Never fear, you can always change their name. If this is your first troll, I find that it is best to give him/her a soothing, happy name to remind you that they are really just helpless, sad creatures. A good name can make all the difference! I recommend something like FluffyLoveBunny or Silly Billy Chickie Boo. How scary is that? Not so much.
So your troll has a name! Congratulations! You are on your way!
How do I discipline my new troll?
Now as trolls are known to do, yours may act up from time to time. He or she may get down right nasty and vicious towards you. Remember: That is in their nature. They are inbred to act that way. It is just NOT their fault. (And rumor has it most of them were dropped on their head often as tiny, baby trolls.) Of course, your first instinct as you get used to your new troll is to lash out and want to punish them for being so incorrigible. That would be your first mistake! It only encourages their behavior. The best way to keep your little FluffyBunnyLove in harmony with you and your home is to ignore him or her. Unlike their human counterparts, neglect keeps trolls temperamentally neutral. Allowing them to see your anger or pain at their behavior merely encourages them to keep it up and makes them raging mean. Neglect. Ignore. Restore (the balance). Those are the keys to disciplining your new troll.
Now that I have a new troll, what do I feed him?
Like any wild animal, it is important to understand the indigenous nature of their diet. Your new troll may try to convince you that the best thing you can feed him is a diet of your anger, frustration and pain. Dont listen. As any child can tell you, they will try to get away with anything they possibly can. It would be a mistake to listen to them. Your anger, frustration and pain is their main source of nutrition and growth and unlike human beings who need good nutrition and growth to survive it is vital that trolls maintain a steady diet of ambivalence and ignorant bliss to maintain their puny stature. As much as you want to punish him or her, remember that little FluffyLoveBunny needs to be ignored after he or she comes home with you. A steady diet of neglect will keep you living in harmony with your new troll!
Where do I keep my new troll?
That is a great (and normal) question! As with any troll, he or she will want to be front and center in your life. He or she will want your never-ending attention at all times. It is their nature. However, to live successfully with your new troll, you must remember to keep him or her locked in a corner or sitting so far in the back of the room that you forget he or she is there. Remember: Neglect makes this work! Dont feel guilt. It is how this relationship was meant to be.
What if my troll runs away from me and never returns? Does this mean I failed as a troll owner?
Absolutely not! In fact, just the opposite. If your troll gives up in frustration and leaves you for another, that simply means you have done a good job in the care and feeding of your troll. Pat yourself on the back. You deserve it!
However, remember this: The troll population is diverse and re-spawns quickly. Dont get too comfortable. Before you know it, another troll may follow you home. But, with this handy primer, you will be ready for the care and feeding of your troll!
Good luck with your new troll! May your journey be swift and painless!

ADB Spotlights Inland Waterways for Transport
22 August 2013: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has spotlighted the potential for the use of inland waterways, such as rivers and canals for transport, as a means of decreasing road traffic, accidents and pollution while increasing cross-border trade.
According to ADB, despite the presence of rivers and canals in the region, the lack of dedicated transport policies and investments means this potential resource remains largely underdeveloped.
The ADB argues that to develop or redevelop Asia's inland water transport potential, investments are required in navigation, vessels, information and communications technologies, and training. ADB also calls for policies and institutions to "make room" for inland waterway transport in the region. [ADB Press Release]

In response to Mark Waller's report on NOLA.com, "New academy admissions policy in Jefferson Parish raises test score threshold, offers consideration for siblings," reader bobdod had this to say:
"I watched the board meeting last night. The Jeremiah Group had absolutely nothing to do with the siblings issue. It was the parents of Metairie Academy and Gretna No. 2. Before you make accusations, have some facts. Furthermore, after watching the meeting last night, it was VERY clear whom the school board prefers to cater to. They were bending over backward trying to appease the tearful requests of the Metairie parents, willing to risk going against the court order for the sake of keeping these parents from having to drive their kids to two schools. There is no doubt in my mine whose interests the school system favors. "

Evolving Law Results in Unequal Pay to the Exonerated

DNA evidence also helped exonerate Ricardo Rachell. He was freed in 2008 after spending six years in prison on a sexual-assault conviction. Texas paid him about $493,000.
"It's not right, and it's unjust," Karage said. "We all did the same time and went through the same situation."

Hamilton in France provides students a solid academic experience based on the deep Hamilton College commitment to a liberal arts education and personal exploration.
Founded in 1957 as Hamilton College Junior Year in France, the program is supervised and directed by professors of the department of French at Hamilton and is open to qualified students at American colleges and universities. Each resident director brings extensive personal experience to directing study abroad programs and a deep knowledge of the educational system and of cultural and daily life in France.
Hamilton in France is small enough to provide the individual advising and personal support each student needs to rise to the challenges of the experience. The integrated academic, linguistic and cultural components of the program allow students to progress in their academic discipline, acquire excellent linguistic proficiency, gain confidence and be more informed citizens of the world.
A year's study in France can help secure graduate fellowships and assistantships, admission to graduate school in any discipline and teaching positions and other employment opportunities that require autonomy, flexibility and responsibility.
Hamilton in France welcomes students who are in good standing after their sophomore year, above the fourth semester level in French (fifth semester level for Spring students), and who major in a wide variety of disciplines: anthropology, fine art, art history, cinema, communication, comparative literature, economics, English, French, government, international studies, history, literatures, mathematics, music, philosophy, the natural sciences, sociology, theater and world politics.
Students apply with the understanding that the linguistic component of the program is paramount. Students are required to sign a pledge to speak only French with members of the program. This pledge is one of the features that distinguishes Hamilton in France from most other American programs in France.
Advised by the director, students design an individual and well-balanced curriculum around their academic majors and interests. Students select appropriate courses from among a variety of in-house courses (organized by and for Hamilton in France students) and a large selection of courses at various branches of the Paris university system and other institutions of higher education affiliated with Hamilton.
Hamilton's traditional annual academic program (eight and a half months) gives students an exceptional opportunity to acquire deep, long-lasting linguistic proficiency and to make progress in their academic discipline/major as they gain a deeper knowledge of life in France and in Europe. The annual structure of Hamilton in France fosters the highest academic standards and linguistic proficiency for both annual and semester students.
While Hamilton in France is primarily an annual program, we also welcome a limited number of semester students from affiliate schools. Priority for the semester option is given to students in science, mathematics, and computer science; to students studying off-campus elsewhere for a semester; and to students whose academic constraints at their home institutions do not allow them to spend an entire year abroad. To ensure linguistic cohesion, students applying for spring-only are expected to have completed the fifth semester of college-level French.
Fall semester includes the Biarritz orientation; the spring orientation takes place in Paris and includes a weekend excursion.
Students stay in carefully chosen French-speaking homes within the Paris city limits. Students often cite their homestay experience as one of the memorable highlights of their time in Paris.

Many people put food out for birds, but fewer provide a regular supply of clean water.
Birds need water for drinking and bathing. Water is particularly important during the winter when natural supplies may be frozen, and in dry, hot weather during the summer when water can be hard to find.
Birds have no sweat glands, so they need less water than mammals. However, they do lose water through respiration, and in their droppings. Most small birds need to drink at least twice a day to replace the lost water.
Birds get the liquid they need from their food, and by drinking. Many insectivorous birds get most of their water from food. Seed-eating birds have a dry diet and they do need to drink more.
Water is freely available to small birds at the shallow edges of ponds and streams. They may also drink water droplets that form on leaves, especially if they live in woodland. Aerial species such as swallows and swifts swoop down onto a water body and scoop up a beakful of water while still in flight. Very impressive!
Most birds drink by dipping their bill in water and throwing their head back to swallow. Pigeons and doves are able to immerse their beaks and can drink continuously.
Water to bathe in is just as important for birds, especially in winter. It is essential that they keep their feathers in good condition, and bathing is an important part of feather maintenance. Dampening the feathers loosens the dirt and makes their feathers easier to preen.
When preening, birds carefully rearranges the feathers and spreads oil from the preen gland so they remain waterproof and trap an insulating layer of air underneath to keep them warm.
There are many ways of providing water in the garden. The simplest way is a bird bath. This is essentially a dish of water that needs to be functional - the aesthetic aspects are there to please us, not the birds. More...
Keeping a bird bath clean helps to prevent birds catching diseases. More...
Birds need to drink regularly, whether the weather's hot or cold. It can be difficult to stop a bird bath from freezing, but try using some of our methods. More...
We stock several designs of bird bath that will provide somewhere for your garden birds to drink and bathe.

The much-anticipated convergence of the "daily deal" platforms with location-aware mobile services finally appears to be gaining some traction. Called Instant Deals by Living Social, Reward Alerts by Loopt and ShopAlerts by AT&T, to name a few, the goal of each new service is to lure mobile users into brick-and-mortar stores by sending them real-time updates about time-sensitive deals taking place in their current locations.A restaurant that is experiencing a slow lunch rush, for instance, can attract customers already in the area by creating an instant special and sending out an alert. It presents an ideal marriage between local and mobile commerce, and it will be worth watching as dozens of these programs roll out across the U.S.

Since it was announced that John Tortorella had been relieved of his duties, while Mike Sullivan remained with the club, Rangers fans reaction has been "what?!?!?" Fear not Blueshirt fans, Katie Strang at ESPN seems to think it's only a matter of time before the Rangers assistant coach is gone…
"Though the Rangers have not made any official decisions on their assistants, Mike Sullivan's close relationship with Tortorella makes it unlikely he'll return."
…it really is amazing that Sullivan lasted this long with how God awful the Rangers power play has been under his tutelage. If there's anyone on planet earth who deserves to be fired, it's Mike Sullivan. At times during his tenure I wondered if Rangers assistant coach was a civil service position which precluded Sather from firing him.
Sullivan could, however, find himself right back at Tortorella's side next season but on the west coast as apparently the Rangers former head man is making a nice impression with the Canucks.
As far as who will join Alain Vigneault behind the Rangers bench, Strang mentions Ulf Samuelsson, who is highly regarded in the Rangers organization, as a possible candidate. Apparently, Samuelsson filled out the Rangers' head coaching questionnaire.
Samuelsson was an assistant coach with Hartford Wolf Pack during the 2005-06 season before becoming an assistant with the Phoenix Coyotes until 2011 when he left to become the head coach of Modo of the Swedish Elite League.
…not a bad guy to run the defense and penalty kill.
Larry Brooks at the New York Post notes that goaltending instructor/assistant coach Benoit Allaire will return, while Jim Schoenfeld will remain as assistant GM.

Did you miss opening night? No worries. The Blues posted a 21-minute video of the festivites prior to puck drop at last night's 2013-14 opener. Check out the awesome projections on the ice and the incredible light show. Probably one of the best features the Blues have added in years. Here's to hoping they use the projectors regularly during the season.
Have to give the Blues credit for using a ton of great songs during the ceremony.

Change begins here.
Please consider the following questions:
Is it right that our youth have an incredibly dangerous, toxic and socially problematic drug as their only recreational option?
If there is a safer option why would we ignore and outlaw it or, even worse, demonise it?
Alcohol vs. cannabis: Which one is safer and, therefore, the responsible choice?
If you have ever pondered these questions before, or having read the above are now doing so, GOOD! We hope we can help you find some answers to empower you to make the responsible choice for yourself, your family and our society.

This essential read is for anyone interested in drugs, and for parents, teachers, doctors and others who have to work with the consequences of drug use in our society. It poses many provocative questions, including how harmful is alcohol compared to illicit drugs?

Nature: The Himalayas
Wednesday, December 24 at 8:00 p.m.
The Himalayas are defined by superlatives.
They defy both description and comprehension while at the same time teaching us about the awesome power and grandeur of nature. Explore "The Himalayas" on February 15 at 8:00 p.m., on "Nature."
Born during the ice ages, they form the highest mountain range in the world, and reach across Asia for two thousand miles. The mountains themselves are considered sacred, and the rivers that spring from them are worshipped as holy. Their great beauty may appear cold and forbidding, but the Himalayas are actually rich with a surprising array of plants and animals.
Snow leopards, red pandas, Asiatic black bears, musk deer, snub-nosed monkeys, Tibetan foxes and high-flying birds live here, as well as enormous goat-like creatures that may have been the source of the original Golden Fleece for which Jason and the Argonauts searched. These majestic mountains are where the Earth meets the sky.

At the start of the show Flea introduced Chad Smith, saying, "He's from Detroit, where they make cars and steel and shit. And beat the fuck out of drum kits!" Later in the show he went on to say, "Who wants to see my penis? I'm joking, I have a cock."
Most notably Anthony Kiedis announced that the music video for the second single from I'm With You, "Monarchy of Roses" would be out in the next few days and will be animated! The single itself will be released on November 14th.

I see some authors have commented on Black Silk......
Black Silk Reviews and Quotes:
"Hingle scores once more with this chilling, well-plotted tale. An effective procedural, it also has the heart that many similar stories often lack." **** (4 Stars) ~ Catherine Witmer, Romantic Times
"BLACK SILK is an intriguing police procedural romance with the added spin of having the lead detective and the prime suspect falling in love. The story line is action-packed, but in many ways driven by the demons that haunt Charlie who chides herself for not protecting her sibling and for failing to uncover the identity of her killer. A secondary romantic subplot augments this exhilarating romantic suspense in which fans will wonder if Cole is a killer, a lover, or both." **** (4 Stars) --- Harriet Klausner, Reviewer
"Hingle delivers an entertaining read with a spicy mix of sex, secrets and suspense."--Sandra Brown, NYT Bestselling author
"Count on Metsy Hingle for a fast-paced, evocative and page-turning read!"--Carly Phillips, NYT Bestselling author
This is wonderful news and I can't wait for the book to be released.

Metsy, I just read your letter and am glad to hear that you and your family are safe. I thought about you and others that are living down there. I lived in Lafayette at one time and know how bad the flooding can be because it flooded while we lived there. We have evacuees coming as far north as Greenville, SC, where I work and housed in the local Expo Center. People here are trying to help out all they can. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm about half way through DEADLINE. It is a wonderful story line. I can just hear the accents in the 'voices' af your characters, hearing that slow Southern drawl. I took time out to email you, but gotta get back to reading DEADLINE. I'm originaly from Bogalusa, La and my dad was from Collins, Miss. So being Southern myself, this is extremely interesting to me. Keep up the great works. I look forward to reading more of your stories while sipping on a glass of cool, refreshing, delicious Mint Julep. Thanks Bobbie Lilly

Hi Metsy, I had to tell everyone how great your latest book DEADLINE is. It is the best in romantic suspense. Emotionally fast paced, with an intriguing twist at the end. DEADLINE is a 5 Star Top Pick in my estimation. Best of all I won DEADLINE in one of your contests. You are sooo good to your readers - a Big Thanks Again. Hugs, Pat

Couldn't wait to get your book and believe me it was worth the wait. Loved it and could not put it down. It just keeps you wanting to turn to another chapter and unfortunately before you know it the book is finished. It is a wonderful read and Metsy makes it so easy to read and understand the characters and the plots and twists are great. I highly recommend it and now can't wait to here another one will be out soon.

Featured Golf News
Outstanding Conditioning & More at FarmLinks in Alabama
You would expect a golf course in rural Alabama to not have to work hard to earn the moniker "FarmLinks Golf Club." But there's more that meets the eye than just location and setting at this place.
The 5th Green from the Middle Tees at FarmLinks
Heck, FarmLinks GC at Pursell Farms is remote, but not that remote. It's just about an hour southeast of Birmingham and set on 3,500 acres in Sylacauga on a spread even Texans would call impressive. The course is owned by the Pursell family, which, for the better part of the last century, has made its living as one of the world's largest manufacturers of controlled-release fertilizers, many of which are used on golf courses.
With a routing fashioned by noted architects Dr. Michael Hurzdan and Dana Fry, the Pursells envisioned and then commissioned a track that would be used as a living laboratory to showcase their and the competition's golf-related products and varied methodologies, all as an experiment to see how the chemicals work on different grasses.
FarmLinks, which opened in June 2003, has become a proving grounds, research farm, environmental monitoring station, classroom to educate golf course superintendents, and much more, all blended harmoniously and sensitively into lush surroundings.
FarmLinks is literally on the cutting edge of turfgrass research, where tomorrow's golf products are tested today. Since it is a showcase, golfers won't find more immaculate course conditions anywhere. Each tee, fairway and green on the course features a different variety of turfgrass, which only enhances the playability and challenge.
The 10th at FarmLinks
The facility annually hosts more than a thousand golf course superintendents worldwide. Their mission is to tour the golf course and observe advanced technologies first-hand, analyze the results of current turfgrass research under playing conditions, participate in focus groups, and share information on best practices.
While some golf course designers are forced to fit holes into limited amounts of space, Hurzdan-Fry had plenty of diverse, available land at their disposal when planning the layout, and such generosity shows.
Golfers around the globe are beneficiaries of all the research going on at FarmLinks. But those that get to tee it up here get the immediate value - and it's an experience to appreciate and enjoy.
The 17th at FarmLinks GC
More Than just a Pretty Face
FarmLinks is routed over and through dramatic and rolling countryside with plenty of elevations changes and corridors framed by huge stands of trees. On some holes (mostly those on the top of the ridge and in an unprotected plain below), the wind whips across to affect every shot, adding to the equation and making this more of a strategic layout than a haven for bomb-and-gougers.
That's not to say length isn't a factor. The par-72 course can be stretched to a whopping 7,444 yards from its back set of five tees, quaintly named - longest to shortest - Longhorn (FarmLinks' logo is of a hulking Longhorn steer swinging a 3-wood), Copperhead, Whitetail, Bobcat and Quail. Those rearmost blocks carry a hearty rating of 76.3 and a Slope of 141, more than enough for a low handicapper to handle.
FarmLinks toughest holes are its two-shotters; four - including the 488-yard 12th - measure in at 444 yards or longer. The par-5s, with the exception of the wind-exposed, 616-yard 18th, comprise some of the FarmLinks' easier tests.
Two of the par-3s feature FarmLinks' most stunning overlooks - the famed 210-yard fifth - with its 170-foot drop from skyboxes on the side of a hill to a huge-but-narrow putting surface, and the 254-yard (!) eighth, which has another precipitous drop from tee to green.
Another one-shotter, the 196-yard 17th, must be played over a lake to a diamond-shaped green that repels shots lacking authority, nerve or accuracy.
The 18th at FarmLinks GC
Players with a little pop and dead-eye aim might take a poke at reaching the green on the 365-yard par-4 third, but the putting surface, with a bevy of subtle breaks created by multiple plateaus, is one of the hardest to putt on the course.
Unless the player is on with his distance and is mighty confident, it may be prudent to lay up on the second shot rather than attack the green at the 458-yard par-4 ninth. The putting surface is protected by a lake along the right and a deep bunker left-front.
The aforementioned 12th can be battered by the breezes, but long hitters may try to cut the corner on the hard-turning dogleg-left; but beware the deep bunker at the elbow and the high fescue around it.
An elevated tee brings the green within reach for some on the 381-yard par-4 13th, but a prudent play is preferred to avoid a punitive bunker at the left-front of its green. On the massive closer - carded at an all-you-want-and-more 616 yards - the drive should be aimed to split two stately oaks framing the fairway. The green is large but undulating and situated on a hill that is also windswept.
The Entry Bridge to FarmLinks
More than Golf at FarmLinks
FarmLinks also offers five-stand clay shooting, hunting, fishing and five types of deluxe accommodations for nearly 80 guests, depending on taste and need. Guests can choose from a cozy, Southern-style guesthouse, a rustic lodge with all the amenities, or they relax with all the creature comforts in a spacious, four-bedroom cottage or cabin.
Guests staying in the cottages and cabins even get personal Club Car vehicles, handy for navigating the sprawling property. While FarmLinks doesn't sell alcohol, guests can bring their own.
FarmLinks has collected numerous awards, including a listing on Golf Digest's 2011 75 Best Golf Resorts in North America (tied for 39th); No. 1 in Alabama in Golfweek's 2011 Best Courses You Can Play state rankings; Golf Digest's 2008-09 Best Places to Play (4.5 out of 5 stars); and being named the No. 1 Public Golf Course in Alabama by the Birmingham News in 2009. FarmLinks also garnered the highest customer-satisfaction rating by the National Golf Foundation for five straight years, beginning in 2006.
To continue its legacy of education and support for the game, FarmLinks operates a First Tee learning facility for community children.
FarmLinks is a mix of nature, both wild and manicured, mingled with the rich heritage and friendly warmth of the Deep South With its unique purpose and design, FarmLinks provides a fun time for golfers of all levels. It's simply a must-see, must-play course.

Borderlands, a combination of a shooter and a role-playing game, is a Wild West adventure in outer space. You are a mercenary, a hired gun in search of a rumored treasure on a wasteland world, shooting the crazy thugs and vicious critters who get in your way.
As a role-playing game, Borderlands lets you choose your character class to suit your playing style, whether you prefer heavy weapons and brute force, or more precise gunplay. Each class has special skills that you can customize as you build experience.
Borderlands blends shooter, RPG into a video game work of art
Review by BRYAN CROWSON
Game type: Shooter, role-playing hybrid.
Maker: Published by 2K, developed by Gearbox.
Platforms: Reviewed on Xbox 360. Also available for PS3, PC.
Hits: Borderlands' hand-drawn animation style looks like a graphic novel come to life. The gritty sci-fi imagery is like the high-quality artwork you'd see in Heavy Metal magazine. Although you're exploring a wasteland with muted colors, it nevertheless looks bright and exciting when you inhabit it, not bleak or depressing.
Not only does Borderlands look pretty, it's a great shooter. It has smooth movement and precise aiming. Natural-feeling control like this is the heart of a good shooter.
The role-playing aspect of the game sets the hook deeply as you complete quest after quest, explore new areas, add points to your special skills and collect weapons as loot.
The campaign is great in single-player, but it's even more fun with a friend. Happily, the game supports split-screen co-op, so my son and I were able to go questing together, using teamwork and tactics and splitting the rewards. Too few games these days offer split-screen mode for that kind of fun. The online multiplayer works the same way, but you can have more friends in your party.
Misses: The weapons can't be modified, but sifting through loot for the perfect weapon setup is fun and feeds my RPG player's avarice. The problem is, Borderlands doesn't give me a place to stash the ones I don't want to sell but don't have room to carry.
I get attached to some weapons that serve me well and start to think of them as lucky. I didn't want to sell my lucky submachine gun called The Spy, even after I found the superior Dahl Desert Stinger SMG. As you find more advanced weapons, you have to sell or drop old ones to make room in your backpack. Couldn't I have a footlocker buried in the desert somewhere, or rent a room in New Haven to squirrel away the ones I want to keep, or save for a friend who's playing another character class? That would be a great add-on to download, like the Wizard's Castle in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
For a role-playing game, Borderlands' story is thin. In addition to the colorful playable characters, there are interesting non-player characters, such as the hilarious Crazy Earl who lives in a crate in scrap yard, and nearly insane scientist Patricia Tannis. One very early teaser trailer for Borderlands featured a compelling character, a mysterious woman with a scarred face. Now we know she is Helena Pierce, but she does next to nothing and we learn little about her. She's confined to her office, standing rooted in one spot, giving us missions.
Too much of the story is saved until late in the game. With so many key plot points crammed into the last few missions, it's terribly confusing. The explication is so sketchy, I barely understood what was going on.
I could talk at length about the ending, and why I disliked it, but I won't give away any spoilers. You must decide for yourself if you like it. The lousy ending doesn't spoil all the fun gameplay that leads up to it, but it's not a very satisfying wrap for a science fiction story. I hope there is a sequel.
The story could also use more moral justification for the wholesale slaughter that you commit, fun though it is. Granted, most of the psychos and beasties were trying to kill me, but I began to feel bad that I was shooting everybody on sight. And my environmentalist conscience was strained when I had to kill some of the grander specimens of indigenous animals. It's like killing blue whales, if blue whales spat acid and fireballs at you. Sure, they're dangerous, but also amazing. Were they the last of their kind? Did I make them extinct? I don't know, but I hope not.
But these are quibbles and nit-picks.
Content Rating: Mature.
Recommendation: Borderlands is one of those magical combinations of game ingredients: The gameplay is a blast. The copious loot is an obsessive-compulsive delight, like collecting action figures or baseball cards. And its graphic-novel artwork looks fantastic. It is so much fun that I can't quit playing, even after completing the campaign. 2K should feed my Borderlands hunger with a graphic novel and toys to complement the game.
Even though RPGs are normally a solo video game experience, Borderlands lets you share the role-playing fun with friends in split-screen or online.
Borderlands seemed eclipsed by the publicity for some of the other big games coming out this season, but it's catching on nonetheless. Is it fair to call Borderlands a sleeper hit? That would be ironic, because it sure has kept me awake.
