The zoo has two baby jaguars.
The cubs were born Nov. 13.
Their sex won't be determined until their first physical exam when they're 6 weeks old.
Right now, the cubs are being kept away from the public but are visible sometimes on a webcam.

Today I lost a friend though I did not know him personally. He has been a part of my life since I was ten years old and Star Trek first aired. Leonard Nimoy passed away this morning. He was 83. His best known role was that of Mr. Spock, first officer of the USS Enterprise. The character Spock was a Vulcan/Human mix, not devoid of emotion, but able to suppress and control his emotional responses. For many of us who thought we were different Spock gave to us a role model that showed us that we could overcome our limitations and excel in what we chose to do and be. He told us it was okay to be different and that was really a good thing. While Nimoy alternately tried to remove himself from the character of Spock and embraced it he was forever in our minds the symbol of diversity that epitomized Star Trek. Spock's devotion to logic inspired us to examine our situations and understand how they could be improved.
Joan Rivers passed away Thursday September 4, 2014 after suffering complications from surgery. Rivers was perhaps best known for her standup comedy and somewhat caustic wit. In addition to her standup work she has been featured in a number of movies and authored a number of books. The link below will produce a list of the many items in the MCPL collection that highlight her accomplishments

This last Sunday brought us the passing of actor, producer and director Richard Attenborough. He is perhaps most recently remembered today as John Hammond, the eccentric founder of Jurassic Park. However, he has been involved in the movies since 1942. Besides being on screen as an actor he has produced thirteen films, including Gandhi and Cry Freedom. He directed twelve films including Gandhi, A Chorus Line and A Bridge Too Far. The library has a nice collection of his films. We hope you enjoy them.

Yesterday we lost one of the most memorial actresses of classic film, Lauren Bacall. She exploded on to the silver screen in 1944 in the film To Have and Have Not as Marie "Slim" Browning opposite Humphry Bogart. Few could forget the sultry look and delivery of one her most famous lines, "You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow." This film also introduced her to Humphry Bogart the man who would later become her husband, in a life imitates art moment. They were together until his passing in 1957. It is said that she placed a whistle in his coffin as a memorial to the line and film that brought them together. She stared in more than forty-three films in her career. In 2010 she was given an honorary Academy Award of her work in what is termed the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Lauren Bacall
Last night I read that we had lost one of the greats; Robin Williams was no longer with us. When we think of him we most often think of his almost manic comedy. He was one of the best, and perhaps one of the few that could go one on one with the late great Johnathan Winters in comedy improvisation. We know however that Robin Williams was also a great actor. Like many comedians his view of life gave him great insight into the human condition and he was able to bring this to his more serious roles. He will be missed.

Over the weekend we lost one of my favorite film and television stars, James Garner. He is perhaps best known for his starring roles in the television series Maverick and The Rockford Files. His film roles were varied, often funny, but almost always heartwarming. The link below will provide you with list of movies and books in the MCPL collection featuring this well beloved star.
James Garner – A list of DVDs and Books
In the 1960's one of the top rated TV shows of the time was a comedy about the unusual subject of a prisoner of war camp in Nazi Germany. The show was the story was about a group of prisoners in Stalag 13 whose mission was to conduct secret operations behind enemy lines. It was known as Hogan's Heroes. The film Auto Focus is not about this television show but about its star who found himself in the public's eye and being held up to public as the example of the ideal family man. His life and his actions were anything but ideal.
The holiday season seems like an appropriate time to read about the historical Jesus. While you are waiting for the best selling book by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly - Killing Jesus (Main Library and Ellettsville Adult Nonfiction 232.96 Ore) - the latest in his "Killing..." series; you might want to check out some of these books on the life of Jesus by some award winning authors and respected historians ....
Constructing Jesus: Memory, Imagination, and History by Dale C. Allison (Main Library and Ellettsville Adult Nonfiction 232.908 All) --- What did Jesus think of himself? How did he face death? What were his expectations of the future? In this volume, now in paperback, internationally renowned Jesus scholar Dale Allison Jr. addresses such perennially fascinating questions about Jesus. The acclaimed hardcover edition received the Biblical Archaeology Society's "Best Book Relating to the New Testament" award in 2011.
The Historical Jesus: Five Views by James K. Beilby (Main Library Adult Nonfiction 232.908 His) --- 2011 Christianity Today Book Award winner! The scholarly quest for the historical Jesus has a distinguished pedigree in modern Western religious and historical scholarship, with names such as Strauss, Schweitzer and Bultmann highlighting the story. Since the early 1990s, when the Jesus quest was reawakened for a third run, numerous significant books have emerged. And the public's attention has been regularly arrested by media coverage, with the Jesus Seminar or the James ossuary headlining the marquee. The Historical Jesus: Five Views provides a venue for readers to sit in on a virtual seminar on the historical Jesus.
The Challenge of Jesus : Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is by N.T. Wright. (Main Library Adult Nonfiction 232 Wr) --- Today a renewed and vigorous scholarly quest for the historical Jesus is underway. In the midst of well publicized and controversial books on Jesus, N. T. Wright's lectures and writings have been widely recognized for providing a fresh, provocative and historically credible portrait. Out of his own commitment to both historical scholarship and Christian ministry, Wright challenges us to roll up our sleeves and take seriously the study of the historical Jesus.
The Jesus Quest : The Third Search for the Jew of Nazareth by Ben Witherington III. (Main Library Adult Nonfiction 232.9 Wi) --- Voted one of Christianity Today's 1996 Books of the Year! In recent years Jesus' time, place and social setting have received renewed scholarly attention. New research on the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Jewish and Hellenistic texts has resulted in a surge of new images of Jesus and new ideas about his ministry. Dubbed the Third Quest for the historical Jesus, this recent effort is a transformation of the first quest, memorialized and chronicled by Albert Schweitzer, and the second quest, carried out in the 1950s and 1960s in the wake of extreme Bultmannian skepticism.

I love this new age of biography where not only famous people's lives are examined but also everyman's or in this case everywoman's. Of course, Jane Franklin's life would have faded into history were it not for her very famous older brother. But this compelling biography gives a very interesting account of the life of an ordinary, rather poor Boston woman during the time period of the Thirteen Colonies.
Jane grew up in a big family and Ben was six years her senior, and he taught her to read. They corresponded their whole lives, and were for many years the last two left from their nuclear family. Many of Jane's letters have been lost, but can be somewhat reconstructed from her brother's responses to them. Like her brother, she was very opinionated and thought of Benjamin as her "second self."
At age fifteen, she married a saddler named Mecom, and for the next twenty plus years, she was either pregnant or nursing children. She had twelve children and all but one died before she did. Most, unfortunately, died as adults which was less common at that time. Her husband was not a good provider and eventually went crazy. So Jane and her children boiled and sold soap from home.
Her letters to her brother and his gifts of books, many of which he had printed himself, gave her an intellectual life that she otherwise would not have had. They shared many secrets from the rest of the family, some of them jokes.
I was afraid this would be another macho book about reckless men roaming the plains chasing tornadoes during storm season. Instead it turned out to be a wonderful compendium of tornado lore through the centuries. Also included are biographies of some of our most important weather scientists.
Storm Kings begins with a description of how during the 1600s New England settlers called any phenomenon that happened in the sky meteors including: meteors (of course), lightning, thunder, rainbows, comets, clouds in the shape of hands and faces, etc. Although the science behind tornadoes was not understood and barely documented then, many colonists recognized that the weather in America was much more violent than in their home countries.
When a tornado swooped down near Cambridge, MA in 1680, two farming families were shocked when one lost a servant and another a barn during the storm. They were so frightened by this event that one wrote to Increase Mather (the father of Cotton) asking about it. Increase, who was a self-educated weather expert, had no answers so he wrote to a scientific association in Europe. No one replied to his inquiry, but Benjamin Franklin found this letter seventy years later when he became interested in the study of weather and electricity.

A chemical spill and fish kill 18 months ago that canceled recreation along the Wissahickon Creek and closed drinking-water intakes on the Schuylkill will cost Merck & Co. Inc. more than $20 million in fines, plant improvements and environmental projects that the pharmaceutical giant has agreed to undertake.
U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan announced the civil settlement yesterday at Morris Arboretum, next to the Wissahickon.
As part of the agreement, Merck will spend $10 million to ensure that a similar spill - a chemical was dumped down the drain at a plant in West Point, Montgomery County - is not repeated.

James Holmes, the alleged gunman who killed 12 people and injured dozens during a screening of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, described himself as the hero's arch nemesis, a police official says.
"It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was 'The Joker,' obviously the enemy of Batman," New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Friday at a press conference.
The source of Kelly's information wasn't immediately clear – also, The Joker had green hair.
However, the commissioner is reportedly a close friend of Dan Oates, the chief of police in Aurora, Colo., where the massacre occurred. Oates, formerly a longtime member of the New York Police Department, didn't confirm or deny The Joker account, but did say he had spoken with Kelly.
Two federal law enforcement officials confirmed to ABC News the details of The Joker costume.
In a separate news conference in Aurora, Oates declined to speculate on a motive. He said that Holmes was believed to be the only suspect, armed with an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun as he opened fire on the packed movie house.
A total of 71 moviegoers were shot at the Century 16 Theater at the Town Center Mall, including one person in another theater by a bullet that went through the wall.
Police responded quickly and Holmes was arrested without significant incident, but his nearby apartment was heavily booby-trapped with trip wires and explosives, says Oates.
Holmes, 24, had no criminal record besides a traffic summons in October 2011. He went to high school in San Diego and withdrew from Colorado University, where he had been studying for his PhD in neuroscience since fall 2011.
Upon learning of the shooting, Holmes's mother, who lives in San Diego, confirmed to ABC News that her son was the shooter, based on her instinct, saying "You have the right person."
Later, Police Lt. Andra Brown in San Diego read a written statement from the Holmes family:
"Our hearts go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the families and friends of those involved. We ask that the media respect our privacy during this difficult time. Our family is cooperating with authorities in both San Diego, California, and Aurora, Colorado. We are still trying to process this information and we appreciate that people will respect our privacy."
A man identified by police as Holmes's father left the San Diego home with law enforcement Friday morning, while his mother remained inside with other family members and friends who have come by offering support, Brown said.

CHARLESTON (AP) -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's education proposal is heading to the House of Delegates after some final changes by the West Virginia Senate.
Senators amended and then unanimously passed the bill Monday. Attempts to change the bill had postponed a scheduled vote Friday.
The amendment adds new criteria for teacher hiring. It gives extra weight to recommendations from principals and faculty senates.
The changes also reduce from 12 to six the days Tomblin proposed freeing in the school calendar to ensure 180 days of instruction.
Out of the bill is Tomblin's invitation to Teach for America. Lawmakers will instead study alternative ways to certify teachers.
Senate passage followed talks with House lawmakers and groups representing teachers. Those organizations pushed for Monday's changes to Tomblin's proposed rewriting of hiring and transfer policies.

Is the Fiduciary Standard a Joke?
By Allan S. Roth
Must certified financial planners put their client's interests first?
Recent advertisements by the CFP Board of Standards, the group that licenses certified financial planners, or CFPs, trumpet their "fiduciary duty." One ad states CFPs are "ethically bound to put your interests first."
Is it merely an advertising campaign, or is it real?
A fiduciary is a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another. On paper, CFPs who provide financial-planning services are held to a fiduciary standard, defined by the CFP Board as "one who acts in utmost good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the client." While that may appear to settle the matter, this rather lofty standard must also be enforced to make it a reality in practice. (Full disclosure: I hold a CFP license.)
Yet putting someone else's best interests ahead of one's own is difficult, if not impossible, for some people. Duke University behavioral economist Dan Ariely illustrates this quite well in his recent book, The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, and in the article "Why We Lie," which appeared in The Journal on May 26.
Consider one case I recently mentioned in an AARP Magazine story, in which a CFP provided financial-planning services to a client and represented that he was acting as a fiduciary. This client started to get suspicious of the advice he was receiving, and came to me for a second opinion; I then became his adviser. Among the products the original CFP sold to the client was an annuity. Apparently, the CFP couldn't decide whether to charge a commission or an ongoing percentage of assets, so he did both.
This practice is known as "double dipping."
The client was paying an estimated 5.29% annually in fees, yet had no way of knowing this without reading hundreds of pages of technical disclosure and a book the CFP gave him. Once the client was informed of the situation, he expressed his desire to be extricated from the investment. Then the CFP lowballed the surrender penalty the client would need to pay to get some of his money back. Shortly afterward, the CFP instructed the client not to contact him again.
Once the multibillion-dollar insurance company and broker-dealer were made aware of the situation, they voluntarily offered the client his money back plus a very generous interest rate. (The settlement included a confidentiality clause that doesn't allow me to identify these household names.)
As part of the agreement, however, the client insisted on being allowed to file complaints against the CFP. The client acknowledged that he had been fully compensated for this experience, but did not want the CFP to continue to do to others what he had done to him.
In fact, both the client and I filed separate complaints with the CFP Board and other regulatory bodies. Not surprisingly, over the following year, the other regulatory bodies didn't take action. What was surprising was that not a word came from the CFP Board. In following up with the board, I was told they had lost the complaint I filed and hadn't yet gotten to the client's complaint. Eventually, the client received a letter that no public action would be taken against this CFP.
In my mind, this wasn't a close call. How could it possibly have been determined that the CFP acted in the best interests of the client? The only difference between this case and the broker without fiduciary duty is that at least the broker never claimed to be working in the client's best interests.
I spoke to Michael Shaw, managing director, Professional Standards & Legal, at the CFP Board. He stated that that he couldn't comment on any specific cases due to confidentiality rules, but did note that while the CFP Board did not revoke or suspend the CFP's license or even issue a public letter of admonition, it was possible the CFP received a private censure. Though Shaw admitted it would be unusual that a public sanction was not issued for a finding of breach of fiduciary duty, he said it was possible that such a breach would not have resulted in a public sanction if there were extenuating circumstances.
Kevin Keller, the CEO of the CFP Board, invited me to participate as a volunteer panelist on the board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, so that I could write about the process from the inside. Being a panelist involves reviewing complaints made against CFP certificants and recommending possible disciplinary sanctions. I initially accepted his invitation – but then I received an agreement to sign giving the CFP Board the right to review and approve the article I would write on the process before publication.
While Shaw told me this was only to confirm that no confidential information was being released, he also said the term was not open to negotiation. This agreement was unacceptable to both The Wall Street Journal and me, and I declined the offer.
Financial planning, like other professions, is wrought with conflicts of interests. Yet other professions provide guidance and rules for dealing with such conflicts. In my view, much more will be needed if financial planners are to reach this lofty goal of being professionals acting as fiduciaries.
Financial planners must examine, disclose and openly debate conflicts of interests between ourselves and our clients. Planners must develop rules as to when that fiduciary standard is breached, such as when fees are too high and not disclosed plainly to the client. If the CFP Board touts fiduciary duty, they must enforce that standard.

Rose McGowan: I Escaped a Cult
The Actress Opens Up for the First Time About Her Terrifying Childhood in the Children of God Sect
My mother is brilliant; she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and speaks three languages. And my dad was an incredibly talented artist. He became really passionate about Jesus and fell into this group [the Children of God]. I guess it strangely made sense to them. I was born right outside of Florence. We were living on this duke's property-they needed a place where they could house 50 to 60 hippies. The children were kept very separate from the parents. I learned how to read at 3, and I was reading Edgar Allan Poe at 6. But I don't think anyone taught me to tie my shoes for a very long time. The group encouraged you to have a lot of kids as fast as you could. Then if you made plans to leave, they would lean on you. You know ... maybe your kids would disappear.
Like in most cults, you were cut off from your [outside] family. There were no newspapers, no television. You were kept in the dark so you would obey. It was not a wealthy existence. I remember being very angry when an adult [in the group] had taken all of my lira that I had earned singing Jesus songs with my banjo. You weren't allowed to have imperfections. I had a little wart on my thumb, and I remember walking down this hallway-a door opened and some adult grabbed me and just cut it off with a razor blade and stuck me back out in the hallway with it still bleeding.
I was always in trouble. They would say, "Have you let God into your heart?" and I would say, "No." I did believe in God, but I didn't believe in their god. I was pissed off. I lit a wall of Bibles on fire-took a candle to it. At 5, I was drawing monsters and sharks and stabbing holes through paper. My father was pretty much a lifelong hippie, and I just came out so differently. When I was little and there were all these women with hairy legs, even though I had no reference point for non-hairy legs, I was disgusted by it. I basically just came out of the womb waving red lipstick. When I first came to the U.S., Dynasty was on, and I remember seeing Joan Collins and thinking, "My people!"
I remember watching how the [cult's] men were with the women, and at a very early age I decided I did not want to be like those women. They were basically there to serve the men sexually-you were allowed to have more than one wife. [McGowan's father had two wives: Terry, mother to Rose and her siblings Nat and Daisy; and Rebecca.] Women would bring people into the group however they could. The women would go to bars as lures [and pick up recruits]-they called it Flirty Fishing.
My father, who did the illustrations for these little comic books called tracts [used by the cult to disseminate information], got wind that the group was starting to advocate child-adult sex. They were telling him to draw cartoons about it. Their whole thing was that children are very sexual beings. "God made children able to enjoy sex, so he must've expected them to!" the group's founder, David Berg, proclaimed in a book. I was not molested because my dad was strong enough to realize that this hippie love had gone south.
We had to leave on the sly. My dad, Nat, Daisy and I escaped with my dad's other wife in the middle of the night. I remember running through a cornfield in thunder and lightning, holding my dad's hand and running as fast as I could to keep up with him. We hid in an old stone house and had to boil pots of hot water to take baths. [The cult] sent people to find us. I remember a man trying to break in with a hammer.
We moved again and again, and then we went to Colorado. It was not an easy assimilation. The supermarkets were brightly lit, and the music that was piped in freaked us out. My mom [by then divorced from Rose's father] had stayed behind a while longer but eventually made her way back to the U.S. I got sent to live with her in Oregon, but I ran away when I was 13 because I had a mean stepdad. After about a year of living on the street, I met up with my dad [who officially married his "other wife," Rebecca, in the U.S.] and we lived together in Washington. We did a lot of repair work on our relationship. We became really close when he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis at age 60. [He died in 2008.] He realized that believing he could change the world with hippie love had taken a bad turn. He took the blinders off. That takes a lot of bravery.
[In 1997] I met Marilyn Manson, who is one of the sweetest people you could ever meet, and I ran away with the circus. That's what I needed for 3½ years. I just needed to not be responsible, to have fun. Then eventually I kind of grew up.
Today my brothers and sisters are my favorite people on the planet. They are the most together, offbeat, funny, regular-ish people. My mom is now happily married. She won't talk about [the past].
But it still shocks me. For example, when my house fell out of escrow recently, I thought, "It must be a sign; God must not want me to sell my house." Two seconds later there was a huge offer on it and I thought, "God must want me to sell it." I realized, "Oh, this is completely programmed." So much of my career and even relationships are completely based on, "God must want me to do this." It horrifies me. There's a trail of some very damaged children that were in this group. As strong as I like to think I've always been, I'm sure I could have been broken. I know I got out by the skin of my teeth.

A really unique, interesting, little-seen British horror film from the early 70s, Raw Meat (a.k.a. Death Line) sets an odd tone from the start, as we follow civil servant James Manfred (James Cossins) on a tour through the seedy London strip club scene. Manfred eventually descends down into the Russell Square tube station.
A short while later, two student lovers, surly American Alex (David Ladd) and sweet English beauty Patricia (Sharon Gurney), exit the last train onto the platform and come across Manfred's body lying comatose on the steps. David assumes the man's a drunk and wants to leave him be ("Back home we just step over these people"), but kind-hearted Patricia wants to help him. Thinking he might be a diabetic, Patricia has Alex search the man's wallet for a health card. After cursorily scanning the man's I.D. ("James Manfred, O.B.E."), the couple head up to ground level in search of help. A reluctant Alex returns below with a local bobby, only to find Manfred's body has disappeared.
This is my manor, and the villains in it are mine.
Well, you're welcome to them, old thing. So why don't you just run along and arrest a few...
Missing persons are my concern,too.
Oh, yes...Missing dentists, missing greengrocers..but this particular missing person, as far as you're concerned, Inspector, is no longer missing.
I don't see him around anywhere...do you?
What a droll fellow you are. The Manfred case is closed. It was never opened. Clear?
If someone is reported missing in my manor, that's my business.
Your dainty little footsteps are echoing in places where one is well advised to tread lightly.
Are you threatening me?
How very perceptive.
Then, in a bravura sequence (courtesy of director Gary Sherman and cinematographer Alex Thomson), we're shown exactly what has happened to Manfred. In a masterful example of visual storytelling, the camera creeps down into the bowels of the Underground, and - to the constant sound of dripping water - does a long, slow pan around a subterranean charnel house, with corpses in various states of butchery hanging from the walls, the pallid, unconscious body of Manfred slumped in a corner.
This is the lair of "the Man" (Hugh Armstrong) and his dying, pregnant "Woman" (June Turner), the last descendants of subway workers buried in a rock slide in the 1880s and forgotten by a callous government. The Man and Woman are a sorry lot, riddled with open sores, malnutrition, plague and anemia. They're also cannibals, and James Manfred O.B.E. is the next item on the menu. It's a grisly scene rendered poignant by the Man's clear distress over his mate's deteriorating condition.
The camera then pulls out of their fetid chamber to the abandoned station site and it's walled-in entrance, as the soundtrack swells with an audio flashback of the original work crew being buried alive.
The death of his mate and their unborn child sends the grief-stricken Man on a rampage, as he violently dispatches three subway workers. Alex and Patricia get pulled back into the case when the couple are returning home after a night out. Patricia forgets her books in the train, Alex dashes back in to get them but the train doors shut before he can get back out. No sooner has Patricia cheerfully waved goodbye then a large, scabby hand closes over her mouth.
Frustrated by the lack of action by Calhoun and Rogers, a worried Alex must take matters into his own hands and descend into the Man's lair before Patricia becomes the murderous, miserable wretch's next mate...
While the Man becomes less of a monster and more of a pathetic, pitiable remnant of a terrible tragedy, taking away some of the scare factor, the movie compensates with a very witty screenplay and a fine eye for gross, grotty detail. Pleasence gets one of the best roles of his career as the eccentric, barb-tongued inspector, and he plays it for all its worth. The scene where he trades verbal jabs with Lee is terrific.
Top acting honors of course go to Pleasence (I'd pay good money to see further adventures featuring Inspector Calhoun and company) and Hugh Armstrong, who totally commits to the role of the Man. It's the sight of his shuffling, mournful figure, incessantly shouting "Mind the doors" (the only English he knows, heard constantly throughout his life amid the tube tunnels), that remains etched in one's mind. A special treat for fans of British horror, Raw Meat deserves to be more widely seen, and I recommend it highly to the less squeamish out there, looking for something offbeat and original in the horror genre.

Irish star Darren Clarke and New Zealand's Michael Campbell will join fellow Major champions Ernie Els and John Daly for the US$750,000 CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters 2013 at Royale Jakarta Golf Club from May 2 to 5.
The presence of Clarke and Campbell, along with multiple tour winner Simon Dyson of England, is a huge boost for the event.
Clarke and Els were British Open champions in 2011 and 2012 respectively while Campbell is a former US Open champion. Daly won the 1991 US PGA Championship and 1995 British Open.
With several wins on the Asian and European Tour, Dyson won the Asian Tour Order of Merit in 2000 during his rookie season. In 2006 he also won the Indonesian Open.
"It is fantastic to see so many new stars confirmed for the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters 2013 which signifies our rapid growth," said Gatot Subagio, Vice President of Corporate Communications Group Corporate Affairs of PT Bank CIMB Niaga.
He said the tournament was expected to inspire Indonesian golfers and develop the game at a junior and amateur level.
"With the participation of Simon Dyson, Darren Clarke, Michael Campbell, Ernie Els and John Daly in the tournament combined with the announcement of our Amateur League and Youth Development initiatives, we are setting the stage for the championship to continue to grow into one of the biggest tournaments in the region," he said.
Asian Tour Executive Kyi Hla Han hailed the tournament as wonderful given the number of international stars participating.
"As a full-field Asian Tour tournament, our talented members look forward to competing against many of the best players in the world at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club," he said.
The event also marks the beginning of the Amateur League series at Royale Jakarta Golf Club which serves as a qualifying field for the Indonesian Masters.
Play is scheduled on every Tuesday or Wednesday at the host venue with the scores of each round to be counted in the Order of Merit.
A minimum of three rounds must be played to qualify for a ranking and the leading amateur will win a spot in the tournament proper representing the Indonesian Golf Association (PGA).

Those pics at Nonny&boo are awesome! You sooo don't have the new mom tired look ever! :-)
You look awesome!
I think I have the same glasses!ReplyDelete
How fun I love new slings!ReplyDelete
She's really filling out.. I love those chubby cheeks.
I ordered a nonny&boo monster hoodie last week, and I'm so excited to get it! I absolutely love all of her new items.
That video is great! Love the new name of the Ashley's store! What a great idea to name a sling after you! I can't believe Ivy is already a month... how?! Wow! Can;t believe she's gained so much weight and moved up in clothing size! Amazing! Grayson didn't do that until he was 3 or 4 mos old!!! You are beautiful with glasses and hair not fixed!!!ReplyDelete
A month old! Gosh. Amazing. And I love how chunky she is ... I love a big baby.
I loved the baby sounds too. Oh I can't wait to hear those noises again.
You look adorable with your glasses and "not done hair" by the way. :)
That was the sweetest video!!! Thank you so much. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S A MONTH OLD!!!ReplyDelete
Love all the pictures of the slings with you and baby Ivy! I don't have the funds for them right now but hopefully one day I will.ReplyDelete
Wow that was a quick month! I loved watching your video and the slings are beautiful. I just finished putting Stella's 0-3 month clothes away. It is so bittersweet to know they are healthy and strong but also to be growing further and further away from that helpless little newborn!ReplyDelete
Wow, she's a big girl huh? 11 or 12 pounds! My almost 5 month old daughter is 13 pounds, 7 ounces (just had her weighed today). It's weird to have a smaller baby this time. My first 2 were at least 20 pounds by 4 months old.
Those slings are gorgeous. Wish I had the money to buy another sling!
Loving the Ivy sling, I think Sweetpea needs one of those! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for the tip. I noticed you have not been showing up in my bloglines for the pass week. I have some catching up to do.ReplyDelete
The slings are very cute. Quick question, I think you mentioned on your vlog that Ivy goes to a "natural doctor." What is the difference between a medical doctor and a natural doctor?ReplyDelete
Loved Ashlee's new site and I love how there is a sling named IVY!
Out of curiosity - was Nonny & Boo named after your boo and Ashlee's? LOL I just remember how Gray ask for his boo...LOL. Ok, is that a stupid question? Inquiring minds want to know. :)
Also, please come by my newly designed blog - I posted some of my wedding pics in honor of our anniversary. Just sharing that's all.
the video is soooooo sweet. she looks like such an awesome little gal. i can see why you are in like! :)ReplyDelete
The slings are awesome. She does a great job.
btw, you look great
she's a month old already?! Wow, I can't believe it! Well, in all fairness, since the last time I saw you was when you were pregnant, it's still amazing to me she's even here! And, the sling Ash made is beautiful, totally suitable of the name Ivy! :)ReplyDelete
Wow! You guys look great modeling the Nest slings!! How awesome! And to have a sling named for her-that is FANTASTIC! My, a month old, and little Ivy is already a star!ReplyDelete
oooh, i love her little noises. :)))) and i like your specs!ReplyDelete
Wow Ivy sling!!!!!ReplyDelete
Very cool indeed.
JC loved watching your post too!
(He was all "that's the woman with all the boys"!!)
Thanks for the feed info! I missed a couple :)ReplyDelete
How sweet not only do I love Nest but she's so beautiful! Seriously we have all fallen in love with her!ReplyDelete
Yes, my Bloglines has been wonky. It showed I was behind on like 25 of your posts... catch up time!ReplyDelete

The clients knew exactly what they wanted in their custom yacht, says Drew Lyman, president of Maine builder Lyman-Morse. "They needed jetdrives because they are critical for this area, with all the lobster pots," Lyman says. "They also wanted a custom interior — a mahogany-dominant, simple and elegant layout."
Ken Clinton always has something cooking. That's why I look forward to calling Clinton, the president of Intrepid Powerboats, around boat show season to find out what the Largo, Fla., builder will be debuting at the fall and winter events.
A new 37-foot express cruiser designed for dayboating and weekending has joined the Back Cove fleet — the Downeast 37. The Maine builder uses the same hull as the Back Cove 37, but the deck is "totally different," says Bentley Collins, vice president of sales and marketing for Back Cove Yachts.
Lately I seem to be using the words hybrid, crossover and multiuse to describe a growing number of outboard boats that excel for fishing and day boating. SeaVee has come up with another type of hybrid, one that mixes the center console and express fishing boat styles.
Has the midsize inboard convertible met its match? The folks at SeaHunter Boats believe so. The Pompano Beach, Fla., builder has introduced the Tournament 45, a battlewagon of a center console that can run more than 600 miles on a tank of gas.

True to their word, the Memphis Grizzlies don't bluff. It's an admirable, if limiting, quality. There's something we find noble about a person that tears straight forward at an opponent, all hustle, heart, grit and grind.

It was fun. I liked the staging which is always impressive but if you have done the frozen experance in California adventure you get the same experance. Of course my daughter loved it. My advice for what it is worth, BART is not worth the walk, especially after the show when your kids are tired and on a sugar rush, just pay for parking. Eat before but get there early to avoid the crowds going through the metal detectors. Don't bring anything metal. Bring your own dollar store candy, yes they go through your stuff but they are looking for candy. While at the dollar store buy some wands or whatever you your kid wants because otherwise you are paying $28 for a light up wand you could have gotten for $1. Also don't bring a stroller, they sent allowed inside and it holds up the line getting in. Oh and the lighting prevents decent pictures of characters so do a shoot with the kids at the tide photo booth before the show and if you are going to spend more money the program is the best way to get pictures you can see $20. Hope that helps. Have fun!star this tip starred

Man stabs dad with scissors then saws off his own hands
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- June 19, 2013
A MAN stabbed his father with scissors before sawing off his own hands.
Both men are in hospital fighting life-threatening injuries.
Emergency responders arrived at a house in Redding California, to find 59-year-old Gregory Dunn lying in his driveway with multiple stab wounds, according to news reports.
Jason Dunn, 27, was standing in the driveway with both of his hands cut off at the wrists.
Police suspect an argument led to the stabbing and believe the younger man cut off his own hands using a radial saw.
Neighbours heard the altercation, as did an unnamed witness who contacted authorities, CNN reports.
Gary Rinehart told CNN affiliate KRCR that he saw both men being wheeled from the scene into separate ambulances. The first, the son, had "a lot of blood at the end of his arms, like his hands weren't there." The second, the father, had "blood in the upper area."
"This is definitely the craziest thing that's ever happened on this street," Rinehart said.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) specifies that diving operations meet the commercial diving requirements listed in CFR 1910, Subpart T – Commercial Diving Operations, unless the diving conducted meets certain exemptions. One of these exemptions is diving which is defined as "scientific diving" and which is under the direction and control of a diving program containing at least the following elements:
1. A diving safety manual which includes, at a minimum:
2. A diving control (safety) board, with the majority of its members being active divers, which shall at a minimum have the authority to:
To meet these requirements all divers and individual dives must be pre-approved through the NC State Diving Safety Officer. This section shall serve as the NC State Diving Safety Manual, providing minimum requirements for all University-related diving (see Scope section below).
This purpose of this program is to assure all scientific diving operations performed by employees of NC State are conducted safely and in compliance with applicable standards. A secondary objective is to permit more efficient / effective diving operations through enhanced communication with knowledgeable contacts inside and outside of the university, developed in response to these requirements.
This section applies to all diving operations conducted at NC State University, excluding diving instruction classes (usually administered in pools), which involves the use of underwater breathing apparatus.
Scientific Diving – diving performed solely as a necessary part of a scientific, research, or educational activity by employees whose sole purpose for diving is to perform scientific research tasks. Scientific diving does not include performing any tasks usually associated with commercial diving such as: Placing or removing heavy objects underwater; inspection of pipelines and similar objects; construction; demolition; cutting or welding; or the use of explosives.
These subjects will be covered in additional detail, along with other issues, through the pre-dive review by the diving safety officer.
