Indian Land High School saluted its state champion Lady Warriors soccer team at the team's annual awards Monday night.
The Lady Warriors, who went 19-5-1 this spring under coach Mark Bonda, captured the Lancaster County Class AAA school's first-ever state soccer championship with a 2-1 (5-3 in penalty kicks) win over Brookland-Cayce High School of Columbia on May 13 at Irmo High School's W.C. Hawkins Stadium.
Buford High School head football coach Tripp Watts, entering is fourth season guiding the Yellow Jackets, said he's happy with the BHS spring drills.
Buford, looking to improve on a 3-8 record last season, capped its spring drills with the annual Jackets spring football game on Monday.
The White team posted an 18-16 win over the Maroon squad in the final athletic event to be held on the natural turf at Jackets Stadium.
Lancaster High School senior player Evan Hardin led the Bruins baseball honorees at the team's awards cookout at the LHS field, Doomsday Corner, on May 18.
Hardin, one of four LHS players selected to the All-Region III-AAAA team, is the Bruins MVP for the 2017 season.
Hardin, a pitcher and infielder, hit .382 and had the lowest earned run average on the LHS staff as well as the most innings pitched this spring.
The University of South Carolina Union baseball program is stepping up to the plate, with a Lancaster High School connection in the Bantams' diamond fold.
C.J. Brown, a LHS Bruins baseball veteran, signed with USCU in the LHS conference room on Wednesday afternoon.
Brown, a first baseman in the Bruins program, served as a LHS captain this spring when Lancaster High made the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
KERSHAW – The "Big Orange Country" spotlight was on a host of Andrew Jackson High School sports stars at the annual AJ All-Sports banquet in the school's auditorium Tuesday night.
Volunteers' senior stalwart Dalton "Tex" Haven led a parade of ace honorees during the evening.
Kim Perry, a solid constant with the Lancaster High School girls softball program, is hanging up her signature visor as the Lady Bruins' coach.
Perry, with the 2016-17 LHS season which saw the Lady Bruins win the Region III-AAAA championship, capture the Class AAAA District III crown and compete for the Class AAAA Upper State title, is retiring from coaching.
Track streaks will be on the line Saturday night when Lancaster Super Speedway returns to racing with an action-packed night.
The night will be highlighted as Andrew Baker, in the Renegade Division, will be shooting for five wins in a row.
LSS announcer Doug Hawkins has started calling Baker the "Nature Boy" because as pro wrestling legend Ric Flair once said, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man."
The University of South Carolina Lancaster's best baseball season ended with a loss in the National Junior College Athletic Association Eastern District tournament championship game at Sparrow Field on the Francis Marion University campus in Florence on Saturday.
If ever a photo told the story, The News' May 19 front page picture of Buford High School senior softball stars Sydney Sullivan and Morgan Deese said it all.
Their long faces and sad eyes, likely tear-filled soon after the final out of the Lady Jackets' 8-1 loss to Latta in the Class AA softball state championship game, spoke volumes of their expected disappointment.
The image was dejection personified on the mid-May evening in the Pee Dee.
Area runner Marc Truesdale posted his best time-ever – 18:12 – to capture the win in the sixth annual Lancaster Rotary Club 5K Race for Charity at Lancaster High School on Saturday morning.
Truesdale, an Andrew Jackson High School social studies teacher and avid runner, said second-place finisher E.J. Threatt played a key role in his winning effort.

The growing use of mobile devices by the population and the high popularity of the social media in current society, such as Facebook, produce plenty of information with contextual data. One obstacle to the emergency response team during the response phase of emergency management is to obtain information that could lead to solving a particular situation involving victims. In this paper we present a proposal which aims to collect information from social media and mobile devices, identify the contextual information and analyze them to indicate people who could help in the identification of victims.

As the presidential candidates spout on about jobs and the economy, I sometimes wish I could put my late grandfather on the stage during the debates. Not just because he had a low tolerance for blather, although he did, and I think the politicians would find his comments, let's say, bracing. The real reason is that his experience has more relevance to the jobs debate than most of what the politicians are talking about.
My grandfather had a job that doesn't even exist anymore. In fact, most people may never have heard of it (except via Eugene O'Neill). He was an "iceman," delivering big blocks of ice to homes and businesses in the era before refrigeration. Back then, if you wanted to keep things cold, you kept your food in an insulated icebox (essentially a big cooler). Ice men like my grandfather were daily visitors, just like the milkman or the paper carrier.
Eventually technology came out with something better, but my grandfather knew that wasn't necessarily going to be better for him. As my father used to tell it, the family was once invited to dinner during the 1930s; a dinner that ended with ice cream out of a refrigerator. An electric refrigerator.
My grandfather didn't say anything, but there was no way in hell he was going to eat that demon dessert, no matter how hard my grandmother kicked him under the table. Finally, when the hostess' back was turned, she switched dishes, putting her empty one in front of grandfather and eating the second one herself.
That kind of defiance wasn't going to hold back the refrigerator, any more than John Henry could hold off the steam hammer. By the 1950s, 80 percent of American households had refrigerators, and my grandfather was out of the ice business and back to his farm.
My grandfather was an example of the "creative destruction" of jobs that economists (and lately presidential candidates) embrace. Technology both creates and destroys jobs, usually at the same time, and ideally because a superior product came along. Refrigerators were better than iceboxes. Eventually even my grandfather admitted it. If you look at the overall economy, the loss of ice routes was more than made up by new jobs making refrigerators.
The key word in creative destruction, however, is "creative." Now we're living in another time not unlike the 1930s, with a jobs crisis that's partly a massive failure of financial markets and partly a huge technological shift in the nature of work. There's no question the Great Recession slammed the global economy. But one reason why the jobs market has been so slow to recover is that technology is enabling us to do more work with fewer people — or with people anywhere around the world.
Ah, but your grandfather was a blue-collar worker, you may say. Those kinds of jobs are begging to be automated. If he'd gone to college, that would have been a different story.
And that's very true: if my grandfather had gone to college he probably wouldn't have been an ice man, or a farmer. But an education isn't the guaranteed haven from technological change it used to be. The working assumption that most people have — that technology favors the smart, the creative, and the well-educated — may not hold up any more.
Figure it this way: it's about the difference between repetitive tasks and those that require analysis. If you're working on an assembly line, picking vegetables or handling deposits and withdrawals over a bank counter, a machine might do your job better. If you're in charge of making sure those jobs get done, or marketing them, then a computer may help you, but it can't do the job for you.
Unfortunately, the definition of "repetitive" is going to keep shifting. "E-discovery" software, which can sort through email and documents looking for suspicious patterns, is already taking on a job traditionally done by paralegals and junior associates in law forms. IBM's "Watson" computer, which can respond to questions well enough to play "Jeopardy," is really designed to take over tasks from nurses and doctors, like taking medical histories. But you'll still need a human being to write a brief, argue in court, or conduct your surgery.
The jobs crisis is the first priority for most Americans, and rightly so. If you don't have a decent job in America, your entire life can unravel. Yet in the early stages of a crucial presidential campaign, we're spending far too much time asking the wrong questions: can we "hold onto" the jobs we have? Should we cut taxes? Does a college education pay off?
What we really need to do — and what our political candidates better start doing — is talk about what kind of jobs technology is likely to create, and what kind it destroys, and how our national policy can get ahead of that curve. The economy will work these issues out in the long run, but it'll be a lot less ugly if we actually start planning for the changes we know are coming. Anything else is like refusing to eat the ice cream from the refrigerator: a stand that doesn't change a thing.

SafeLaunch Announces Student Video Contest
Winner to receive $500
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - The SafeLaunch 4th Annual Media $500 Contest challenges teens to make 30-second videos that motivate parents and peers to enjoy life without using alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs that cause addiction.
Contestants have a chance to win $500, $200, or $100 in prize money. However contest stakes are even higher because teen risk to the disease is high...up to 600 percent higher than for adults. SafeLaunch co-founder Janet Rowse says, "Every person needs to understand the brain science behind addiction.
The old prevention message, "Just Say No" isn't enough given that research has shown that until our mid-twenties when the brain is fully developed, teens are highly susceptible to drug dependency, and that risk drops dramatically as they age."
This year's theme is "Life is Beautiful! Drugs and Alcohol Can Wait" and the contest is open to teens in grades seven through 12 in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
Contestants must submit the videos online March 1 through 15. Go to www.safelaunch.org/contest for instructions to learn more or call 805-283-7233.

can flee bites look like puss filled pimples?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I'm not sure. Maybe if it's an allergic reaction? Some dogs, like mine, are allergic to flea bites. However the reaction my dog had was not puss-filled pimples. (My dog gets scabs from biting himself when he has fleas. Last year this eventually resulted in an infection. It would have been less expensive if we had brought him to the vet sooner. The vet told us he's allergic to flea bites, so that's what I'm going on.)
Call the vet up and see if they can tell you anything about it over the phone. They may decide that scheduling an appointment would be best.

400 NM residents apply for 'food stamp' for pets
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Around 400 [auth] New Mexico residents have applied to receive help from a "food stamps" for pet program.
Marc Okon of the New York-based non-profit group Pet Food Stamps says the 400 New Mexico residents applied for help just two weeks after the program was launched.
Okon says he created the program to help low-income families keep their pets.
Dawn Glass, marketing director at Animal Humane New Mexico, says her group distributes about 3,000 pound of free pet food each week.
Okon says those who qualify for government assistance likely qualify for the pet assistance program. He says the program is currently running off of private donations until he can obtain federal grants and funds.
Recently census data showed that New Mexico remains one of the nation's poorest states.

How much suds did you give 'em (per mound), and how thick did you mix it (i.e. how much soap per gallon) before application? The suds WILL kill any/all insects it's applied to, if enough gets on 'em & it's mixed strong enough...and it still sometimes takes 4-6 days to kill of an entire FA mound. (BTW, I tried the biodegradable degreaser again last night, but used about 5x as much as before....FAR better results than before with it...though now I'm using more $$$ per gallon with it than with the dish soap...so I'll be switching back as soon as this jug runs out)

I had several holiday events to attend these last few months and my cousin was raving about the Kitoko Kalani Rice Bran Moisturizing Cleanser, so I went and purchased it from Kitoko Kalani for S$12.90. On the website at the moment, it costs S$9.90 and the packaging is updated. This has a Net Weight of e 100g/3.5 fl. oz.
This cleanser has rice (oryza sativa) bran extract which is believed to be a natural micro-exfoliate (without beads) approriate for all skin types.
I purchased this as I had learnt that Japanese women would put rice bran in a cotton bag and scrub their face and body with it, acheiving a fresh glow to their skin. So even before trying this, I kind of made up my mind that rice bran couldn't be bad for my skin.
This cleanser has a creamy texture to it. As mentioned on the package, you only need a bit of it to cover your face. I squeeze it unto my palm and lather it up, then spread it on my face. It doesn't feel harsh or burn when applied. It's a very neutral, calm-feeling cleanser, you don't "feel" it. I'm someone who likes those menthol facial cleansers because of the cool, tingly sensation.
I use this every morning, and every other night. I haven't experience any effects of the micro-exfoliation. However, when I use this cleanser, my face feels clean and not dry or tight. When I feel a breakout coming, I'll use this at night and see a reduction the next morning. For a basic cleanser that works, this is it.

Timelessly Stylish South Beach
Casa Grande Suite Hotel • Miami Beach, FL
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($89)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Suite, Fridays or Saturdays ($149)
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The ice-cream-colored Art Deco buildings in the historic heart of Miami Beach once played host to the swankiest high-rollers and bon vivants in North America. And so they do today.
At places like Casa Grande Suite Hotel, set slightly back from the hullaballoo of Ocean Drive, yet in the thick of South Beach's many charms old and new, guests can experience today's of-the-moment trends amid yesterday's glitz and glam.
Practice your swagger: You're heading for a one-night stay for two in a Deluxe Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($89), or Fridays or Saturdays ($149), at this boutique hotel on Eighth Street and Ocean Drive.
Overlooking world-famous Lummus Park, the backdrop for innumerable movies and TV shows, the white-washed exterior of the hotel primes visitors for the Art Deco-style reception area, appointed with a high-back banquette, white-tile floors, and funky mid-century light fixtures. Pet-friendly rooms are outfitted with a balcony, a queen-size bed, a flat-screen TV, a leather couch, and more.
Hit the beach just a few steps away for a game of volleyball, a dip in the water, or a chance to ogle the famous hard-bodies of South Beach. Up and down umbrella-lined Ocean Drive, you'll find myriad restaurants, bars, and boutiques, each bustling with sunglasses-clad cosmopolites dressed in wisps of airy clothing.
If the Rat Pack were still around today, or even 20 years ago when Osteria Del Teatro opened on Espanola, they might have frequented this intimate dining room, if only for the ever-changing list of specials and superb service. After dinner, head up the street to Skybar, a swanky martini joint at Shore Club.
After that, who knows? A night on the neon-lit streets of South Beach could take you any number of ways, from the jazzy lounges of the '40s to the fist-pumping clubs of today. But one thing's for sure: Timeless opulence and style are guaranteed.

The demotion to Binghamton must have hurt, but a grinder who intends to be successful has to learn to compartmentalize the many frustrations that come with the job.
"Obviously it's disappointing," David says, "But you can't look at it that way. You've got to listen to the things they're saying to you, what you need to work on to stay up the next time, so that's what I'm doing – working on all the little things that will help us win."
He got in the 2010 Dodge Ram truck he bought when he signed his big contract – a ride designed to blend in back home in Lloydminster – and began the solitary return-trip to Bingo. He called his mother at work one, two, three times but she didn't answer. When she finally returned to her desk and noticed the missed calls, her hockey-parent worries resurfaced yet again.
"I called him back and said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'Just driving.' I said, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'Oh, to Binghamton. They sent me down today.'"
Long drives are nothing to him – he did 26 hours straight from Saskatoon to Kitchener before training camp last summer so he could get in two weeks' skating with his former Binghamton roommate, Mike Hoffman. If nothing else, he could tell himself he was looking forward to cooking homemade pasta dinners after a month-and-a-half of Ottawa hotel living.
And if he felt despair on the AHL-bound Interstate, he wasn't about to acknowledge any hard feelings once he made it back to Binghamton and played out the end of his three-year contract.
"No it wasn't bad," he says. "You just relax and think about what you've got to do to get up there again. I wasn't expecting to stay up there as long as I did. I ended up playing very well and scoring a few goals. It was very exciting, trying to stay up there as long as I could and take every shift as my last."
'You're not guaranteed anything'
And now he'll get another chance. With training camp opening, David and his girlfriend, a student at the University of Saskatchewan, made the cross-country drive to Ottawa in his trusty truck. His one-year deal will pay him $640,000 if he can make the big club.
The Binghamton Senators were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs last spring, but that surprise loss gave David the opportunity to revisit Ottawa and watch the Senators' playoff games as one of the team's "Black Aces" – reserve players who could be called to the lineup in the event of injuries. He was impressed by the intensity and physicality of playoff hockey, not least because those qualities are the hallmarks of his game.
There's some dispute over the message he was given at his exit interview with the Senators. His mother maintains that his chances of cracking the lineup seem to be good, that "it's his spot to lose." David scoffs at this interpretation.
"I don't know what she was thinking," he says. "It must have been a long day at work. How many kids do they have going into camp? Yeah, there's a chance of making it, but you've got to prove yourself. You're not guaranteed anything."
His summer was pretty typical of a young NHL hopeful: gym work in the morning, golf in the afternoon, some skating in the evening, weekends with friends and family at the lake. He cooked dinners for his grateful mother, acquired a dog (a French bulldog/Boston terrier cross named Lewis) and tended to his well-worn body with massages and visits to the chiropractor.
The fight in Toronto has undoubtedly raised his profile in his home province. David was asked to take part in a couple of charity golf tournaments, and at the Hartnell, MacArthur, Holtby Celebrity Golf Classic in Lloydminster, he finally met his fellow NHL celebrity, Frazer McLaren.
"We had a few beers together," he says. "It was good. It was normal."
The fight that once transfixed the hockey world and brought home the horrors of bare-knuckle brawling for a day or two didn't figure much in their discussions. The Senators like David's stoic qualities, and they are much in evidence as he lets the subject drop.
"We just put it behind us," he says. "It is what it is."
Some day, if David Diurzynski's career proceeds according to plan and against all the odds, he will be back in an Ottawa Senators jersey, lining up against his beer-drinking buddy in the ongoing Battle of Ontario. And what will happen then?
"I'm not sure," says the anonymity-seeking grinder in as few words as he can muster. "We'll see when it comes."Report Typo/Error

It was that kind of morning for Arnold Palmer, who was surrounded by well-wishers and autograph-seekers as the headliner of a celebration to mark the re-opening of refurbished West Palm Beach Municipal Golf Course.
Village Golf Club is a championship par 72 golf course with eighteen newly renovated greens and a beautiful new clubhouse. The golf course is set on 175 acres of lush South Florida terrain. The Village Golf Club course plays just under 6,900 yards from the back tees and just over 5,000 yards from the forward tees. The golf course is challenging for most golfers, but with five sets of tee boxes the course can be enjoyed by all levels of golfers.
Ranked in GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Courses in the U.S. the Jim Fazio design is 18 holes of exceptional beauty and relentless challenges. GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher, Dr. Gary Wiren, wrote that Trump International is one of his five favorite courses saying, "There are many courses in America that are aesthetically striking, well designed, beautifully maintained, or challenging but fair -- but few meet all these criteria. Trump International is one, and I enjoy my golf there immensely. The members all say, 'I never get tired of playing that course.' That's how I feel as well." The 15th and 18th tees are atop a six-story dune and the 14th demands an uphill approach akin to landing the ball on the roof of a clubhouse.
This public course, which was previously known as Royal Palm Beach Golf Club, requires demanding play. Trees and water frequently come into play and create a challenge for all skill levels.
The 18-hole "Madison Green" course at the The Links At Madison Green facility in Royal Palm Beach, Florida features 7,051 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 73.6 and it has a slope rating of 143 on Bermuda grass.
The Golf Club of Jupiter is an 18-hole regulation length golf course in Jupiter, Florida. This short layout features 4 sets of teeboxes for the enjoyment of golfers of all skill levels.

Pete Dye spent part of his youth at Pinehurst, where he became a lifelong admirer of Donald Ross, and Pinehurst was clearly on his mind when he set out to design The Dye Preserve. "We aimed at making a different kind of golf course down here," he said. What he built was in effect a non-Floridian golf course in Florida, a task inspired and helped by the quality of the soil, the grasses and the trees.
With two championship courses, The Breakers is the destination of choice for avid golfers, as well as vacationers who enjoy the game. From the first tee until the final approach on the 18th hole, these meticulously designed courses entice and challenge golfers of all levels.
Named after the immortal Gene Sarazen, the first golfer ever to win the professional Grand Slam, "the thinking man's course" is the ultimate test of accuracy and precision. Designed by Tom and George Fazio, the Squire is the shortest and the most exacting of the courses at PGA National Resort & Spa. Accuracy with fairway woods and long irons is tested on many tees and the new smaller "Emerald Bermuda" greens demand precise approach shots. Several doglegs provide a risk reward opportunity for any longer hitter as well. The Squire is surrounded by natural environmental areas and teeming with native vegetation, which attracts an abundance of wildlife. The 5th hole even runs along part of the wilderness preserve, which borders the west side of the PGA National community.
This 7,224-yard challenge designed by the game's greatest legend can be your everyday test. As a player, Jack Nicklaus changed the way the game is played, setting records that may never be broken. But equally impressive is the mark he is leaving on the game as an architect. Many of his courses have been lauded as among the best modern designs in the world. This masterpiece in design, his first for The Ritz-Carlton, is innovative in both the challenge it presents and in the elements of the course itself. This course holds special significance as Mr. Nicklaus walked this natural forest land more than 20 years ago, envisioning the design detail and flow of play of this world-class course.
Named after its designer, Arnold Palmer, this course is one of the more forgiving at PGA National from tee to fairway and known as a risk reward course. The open fairways and larger "Champion Bermuda" greens can be quite accommodating and invite players to take a chance if they dare as golfers are not overly penalized for missing the fairway or primary rough on most holes. There is a considerable amount of undulation through the fairway presenting the opportunity for uneven lies and creative shot making. The Palmer has a great series of finishing holes, with the 18th being one of the most scenic and picturesque par 5's on the property.
With wide-river views of the St. Lucie River combined with a par-71 Chi Chi Rodriguez Signature Golf Course, Palm Cove Golf & Yacht Club is one of the most unique and upscale communities in Martin County. The picturesque golf course is challenging to golfers of all handicaps, and also includes a driving range and putting/chipping greens, snack bar, and a pro shop staffed by PGA professionals.
It's been touted twice by Golf Digest as the best Par 3 in the U.S. Golf Magazine has also bestowed its number one rating to the course with its second-place award given the short course at Augusta National. And it has been listed among Golf Range Magazine's Top 25 Short Courses in America for the two years there has been a poll.
This Par 72, Roy Case designed course is one of the only golf courses in Florida that winds through natural preserved and wetlands areas. It plays to 6,500 yards through southern pines, palm trees, and marsh land while making defined elevation changes, giving breathtaking views, quality golf while still being affordable!
Golf course features fairways ribboned with water and hammocks of oaks and pine. The turf is cutting-edge Paspalum, an environmentally friendly grass that helps the ball roll smoother on the greens and fairways.
Okeeheelee Golf Course offers 27 holes of championship golf. Three nine-hole courses that may be played in three 18-hole combinations. Okeeheelee Golf Course provides extensive practice facilities, which include a driving range, 30,000 square feet of putting green, chipping, pitching, and bunker practice areas. Each hole has five tees to play from, so every skill level will feel comfortable playing here. With its unique park setting and beautiful vistas of Clear Lake, the facility is aptly named Okeeheelee, or "quiet waters" in the Seminole Indian language.
The North Palm Beach Country Club is a Village- owned and operated recreational facility consisting of an 18-hole, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. North Palm Beach Country Club represents the second municipal golf course designed by Nicklaus a renovation which was undertaken and completed in 2006.
McArthur is a private sanctuary of "pure golf" for those who enjoy the finest traditions of the game. No tee times. A true walking course. No homes or developments, ever.
Lost Lake Golf Club is a semi-private golf club with 18 holes of championship golf, a 10,000 square foot clubhouse which holds a fully stocked pro shop.
This is a very tight executive course due to all the pine trees. The terrain is basically flat, but there are some mounds that can affect your lies. The large greens are gently rolling and medium speed. There are no sand bunkers on this course, but there are six grass bunkers and two water hazards coming into play on four holes. The signature hole is #15, a 370-yard, par 4, requiring a perfectly placed tee shot to a small landing area, or else you are lost in the trees.
Idyllically situated by the ocean on Jupiter's natural estuary, Jupiter Dunes is unquestionably Florida's finest short course. Redesigned and rebuilt in 2003, the beautiful and distinctive property spreads 18 holes over 28 acres.
Greg Norman has a hands-on approach that is unique to the golf course design process. Norman spent hundreds of weeks of his successful professional career as the world's top ranked player and he had the opportunity to compete on some of the most illustrious golf courses in the world. His experience enables him to create golf course designs with all skill levels in mind.
The final three holes of the JL Village Course are considered one of toughest finishing combinations in the area. Perhaps the most difficult of these three holes is the daunting par-five seventeenth hole. The highlight of this hole is the "cruise" on the JL Village Ferryboat that shuttles players, and their carts, across a boating channel. With its idealistic setting in beautiful South Florida, the Village Course affords golfers of all abilities the opportunity to challenge their games and enjoy the scenery.
;The natural beauty and rolling terrain of the Hills course at Old Trail has drawn players of all levels for the past two decades. Built in 1991 by renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills, is a wonderful test of golf and a perfect contrast to Tom Fazio's layout at Old Trail.
The natural beauty and rolling terrain of the Fazio course at Old Trail has drawn players of all levels for the past two decades. Built in 1985 by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio, the course has been host to USGA Qualifiers, Florida State and Palm Beach County Amateur Championships as well as many professional events. This resume has earned the Fazio course its reputation as the championship venue at Jonathan's Landing Golf Club. Renovations in 2005 and 2008 have seen new TifEagle greens and "Celebration" fairways installed to enhance an already pristine track. Don't let the serenity of the "hidden gem" distract you from this true test of golf.
Welcome to Heritage Ridge Golf Club, one of the finest golf destinations on the Treasure Coast. We have a picturesque 18 Hole Golf Course, Golf Academy, Driving Range, and, a Restaurant and Bar that overlooks the course.
Merge seamlessly with state-of-the-art amenities at Hammock Creek Golf Club to create a "World-Class Daily Fee Golf Experience". Designed by the father-son team of Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II, Hammock Creek offers championship golf to players of all skill levels in an uncommon natural setting.
At 6,806 yards, the Haig is the third-longest course at PGA National and has the highest difficulty rating from the standard men's (white) and ladies' (red) tees. Both the 9th and 18th holes return to the clubhouse area, allowing play to start from the 1st and 10th tees making the Haig Course a convenient choice for 9-hole play in the afternoon.
Blended within a spectacular Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, Frenchman's Reserve offers the luxurious, relaxed atmosphere of private country club living with proximity to modern conveniences. Reminiscent of the elaborate Palm Beach mansions designed by 20th Century architect Addison Mizner, the awe-inspiring architecture throughout the community continues the rich traditions of the Mediterranean Revival.
The 18-hole "Fairways" course at the Fairways Golf Club facility in West Palm Beach, Florida features 3,470 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 61 .
As the roots of my 35 years in golf course design began in the Palm Beach area, Emerald Dunes Golf Club is a very special place to me. Not only is this a challenging, yet enjoyable course for all skill levels, it also embraces a core golf environment, which enhances the drama, strategy, and natural features of the course. I'm truly proud that golfers from around the world play here and enjoy this unique golf experience. I'm sure this golf club will be as special to you as it is to me."
36-holes of magnificent, undulating fairways designed by two of the world's most famous golf course architects - The Sunset course by Arthur Hills, and the Sunrise course by Tom Fazio. Mirasol also features world-class golf practice facilities as well as a fully-equipped golf pro shop.
This Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole layout is brilliantly conceived and skillfully routed among pristine wetlands, upland preserves and numerous lakes. It is both challenging to the low-handicap player and forgiving to the average golfer. The fairways are generous and the greens typical Fazio - subtle plateaus and clever rolls. It is destined to be the best daily-fee experience on the Treasure Coast.
The Champion course at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens is one of five golf courses at the south Florida resort. The Champion course was originally designed by Tom Fazio but was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 1990. This host course for the 1983 Ryder Cup Matches and the 1987 PGA Championship has wide fairways and accepting greens, but many course-management options, including navigating 107 total bunkers.
Golfers will delight in our distinctly different Robert von Hagge courses offering a total of 45 Challenging Championship Holes.
The 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned golf course architect Joe Lee, opened in October of 1999. Lush, rolling fairways weave throughout undulated landscape, which is surrounded by serene lakes and native vegetation.

Water is our world's most precious resource. Without it, life ceases to exist. Unfortunately, our planet's water supply is depleting faster than it can be replenished. What's more, the water we do have is being compromised by pollution and runoff. Waterkeeper Alliance, one of the world's fastest growing environmental organizations, is working to fight against water pollution and depletion.
Recently, Waterkeeper Alliance addressed the issue of water pollution caused by water runoff created by factory farms. It is one of the greatest sources of water pollution in the United States. Chemical contaminants from fertilized fields end up in our streams and rivers. Manure from overcrowded animal holding areas and warehouses also create runoff and contaminate water with deadly pathogens. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration passed a rule that allows factory farms to hide information about toxic pollutants from the public. This is a serious issue for communities all over the world. A petition from Last Call at the Oasis is working to give Americans back their right to know about what's in their water. You can sign it here.
Airports also contribute to the pollution of our waters. They regularly dump toxic fuels, de-icing fluids and other pollutants into streams and waters. The Environmental Protection Agency has been petitioned by several environmental organizations to require that all airports report their toxic pollutants under the Toxic Release Inventory. Additionally, pollution runoff from the airport itself occurs. Organizations have requested that airports be forced to deal with their polluting practices. You can mail in letter, showing your support for the public's right to know about toxic dumping and runoff from airports.
Flow the Film has links to a number of water-related petitions, actions, movements and issues. Find out what else you can do to help protect our planet's most vital and precious resource.

Quote:Its been getting fairly annoying to get posts by people asking for JKD schools in there town. If you are too lazy to look in the phone book or on the internet then you probably wont make it to too many practices either. Also, if you were not smart enough to check the phone book then JKD is probably not for you. In closing, do your own research work. If you find the school and get the instructors name, and want references, then by all means ask away. But if you want to know where the closest school is because you cant be bothered to come out from behind the keyboard then I have no help for you. your post will be immediately deleted.

The "Sun Rises in the West" Conference considered the future of Western Civilisation and Western Australia.
Mannkal's October conference was an opportunity for Perth to confound its critics. In the "Creative City index – how does Perth measure up?", city transformation expert Charles Landry said of Perth, "The culture of Perth does not sufficiently value 'thinking' or being intellectual; it is more a material culture. Learning is not embedded in the culture." But there is another school of thought – of which Perth's Mannkal Foundation is an adherent – which says that Perth's isolation has produced generations of travellers who have a finely honed awareness and relentless curiosity concerning cultures and values.
Addressing what some see as the bleak future of Western Civilisation, Mannkal Economic Education Foundation hosted a number of leading international thinkers and policy makers in Perth on October 7-8, 2010 to chart a path for the future.
Shallow, media-driven decision making by political leaders, as well as the rise of political correctness, were some of the reasons cited by supporters of Mannkal who urged the organisation to address this often controversial issue.
After considerable encouragement, we assembled an eclectic group of leading academics, economists, philosophers and decision makers who attracted significant interest from local business leaders, as well as national and international visitor's to Perth.
The use of the term Western Civilisation was heavily debated by the organising committee and was why we looked to leading Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey to help come up with a suitable title. Geoffrey Blainey suggested the tongue in cheek title The Sun Rises in the West due to the fact that Western Australia is a product of Western Civilisation and is seen by some to be closer to its 'Western' heritage than other parts of the nation.
Reflecting the movement of the sun, the Western Civilisation moment could very easily pass as it did with the fall of Rome.
The Conference title served its role in guiding delegates to consider the journey of Western Civilisation and our collective history, but importantly, also on its future.
With Western values and traditions increasingly questioned, the decision to have a serious discussion on the future of our society was prompted by a number of private conversations and encouragement from friends and supporters of Mannkal.
We were dismayed by the low level of public awareness of the traditions which have given us such great wealth and prosperity. We seem to be systematically trashing the institutions and traditions that have allowed us to be successful and prosper.
Sometimes shrill and racist scaremongering has prevented a serious and substantive discussion on who we are as a society and where we want to go. This encouraged Mannkal to deal with these issues head on.
Sometimes, these issues are raised in the Western Australian media. However, aside from nostalgia and alarmist news reporting, little positive action is ever taken.
One galvanising point at the Conference was the proposed "Anti-Mining Tax". This mining tax debate has mobilised the community.
Being no stranger to disputes with government and authorities, I personally saw more than simply self interested miners. Without knowing it, many of the business community and workers protesting against the tax were following in the footsteps of the Boston Tea Party participants and those in the Eureaka Stockade. The desire for liberty, idea of personal freedom along with responsibility; with the concept of a representative government not overstepping its mark are all informed by centuries of the development and debate within Western Civilisation.
Yet while the achievements of Western Civilisation used to be celebrated in classical centres of learning, such as universities, it is now shunned and seen as something to be embarrassed about. If Western Civilisation values are any good, then why can't they be taught in our universities?
The speaker list of Sun Rises in the West included: Reverend Dr. Mark Durie, Hon. Christian Porter, Attorney General, Minister for Corrective Services, Western Australia and Mr James Bennett, author of The Third Anglosphere Century: The English-Speaking World in an Era of Transition.
We have been overwhelmed with feedback from the delegates and, in particular, from the 22 young scholars who attended the Conference. One such scholar noted, "The Conference proved to be a deeper discussion than we usually experience in Perth. Instead of lamenting the lack of options and neglect of Western Civilisation traditions, there is now a forum for constructive input."
The Conference was not about being triumphal or seeking to return to mythical glory days and, most importantly, it was not about targeting those people from non-Western backgrounds. Western Civilisation has been enriched and has borrowed from so many other different civilisations and cultures and should continue to do so.
Drawing interest from the business community was Dr Jerry Jordan who spoke on "Currency Debasement Erodes Personal Liberty". This presentation drew interest from stockbrokers and foreign exchange traders in Perth due to the US "quantitative easing" (printing of money) which has caused concern worldwide. Dr Jordan served as a Member of Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisors before becoming President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Our Mannkal Foundation Team is currently preparing a full report on the Conference, complete with numerous YouTubes. This will be featured in next month's Freedom Focus, with the full Conference papers to be published in book form early next year.

New Berlin's PeachTree Offers Something Special For Everyone
Greek-American Comfort Food
PeachTree's mammoth menu features senior specials, lunch specials, dinner specials and weekly specials. Listed on the inside cover or front page of the menu, weekly dinner specials, which can be ordered in lunch portions, include choice of side, soup or side salad, and a small house dessert.
Those underwhelmed by the prospect of stuffed cabbage rolls, Swedish meatballs, roast chicken and pot roast, can choose from the popular restaurant's selection of sandwiches, which includes subs, patty melts and triple-decker clubs, along with grilled corned beef and Swiss on rye, Philly beef and, of course, the traditional gyro.
Fortunately, the Greek side of the menu doesn't begin and end with gyro sandwiches. Instead, it offers a variety of traditional Greek favorites including Athenian pork chops ($10.49), Greek-style chicken ($10.25), chicken shish-kabob ($10.49), moussaka ($10.49), pastichio ($10.49) and spanakopita ($9.99). Pastichio is a savory Greek casserole comprised of mildly spiced ground beef, macaroni and a thick layer of baked béchamel cream sauce. The homemade spanakopita is also worth mentioning. Served as triangular pastries, spinach, eggs and feta cheese are encased in filo dough and baked to perfection.
On Thursday evenings, PeachTree further expands its selection of Greek favorites to include successful variations of keftedes ($9.99), tiropitakia ($9.99), dolmades ($10.25) and briam ($9.25). Often referred to as "Greek meat balls," PeachTree's keftedes can also be described as small, thick, pan-fried beef patties seasoned with Mediterranean spices. The dolmades (a mixture of rice and ground beef wrapped in grape leaves) are an acquired taste, as the grape leaves produce a bitter flavor that may prove too intense for some diners. But the briam, an assortment of oven-baked vegetables, carries a subtler flavor and provides a lighter option. Covered in olive oil, oregano and dill, briam can also be ordered as a side dish to one of PeachTree's other Greek dinners.

Why Does It Take Jennifer Lawrence's Nude Photo To Spark Outrage on Privacy Issues?
The internet was all in a tizzy with the news of Jennifer Lawrence's leaked nude photos this morning. In a statement by her press agent, this earth-shattering bulletin was confirmed to have been the work of the notorious 4chan, a hacker organization that specializes in locating and distributing private photos of (more often than not) female celebrities and sharing them with the public. The collective scramble of humanity's most perverted and curious members echoed in the distance, each clambering to catch a glimpse of grade-A, bonafide celebrity flesh. It was only a matter of time before we all knew the contents of Jennifer Lawrence's entire body off by heart.
And then, something interesting happened. With each headline, a caption soon accompanied, a sympathetic yet stern warning that begged for the masses to hold fast. They urged the public to be aware of the effect it would have on Lawrence's private life, that clicking on any link claiming to contain these images was in full violation of her rights. The sound of collective curiosity and perversion was soon drowned by an uproar, a veritable tsunami of "where is the line?"s and "is nothing sacred?"s. At once, the typically flesh-hungry social media took up their swords and began to champion for our beloved J-Law's honor, changing their colors in favor of a far worthier cause than mere electronic lust. Such an inspiring cause for championing, and all in less than 24 hours!
I think we all know that Jennifer Lawrence is not the first victim of this violation in privacy. I can't remember a day when the world was not ablaze with some sort of "scandal", a celebrity whose naked body was captured on camera for a lover and then leaked without their consent to the slobbering vulchers beyond the computer screen. Scarlett Johanson last year had a few private photos made public, and Blake Lively had seen the same. Every time you turn around, a rising starlet's tinder is temporarily extinguished by some nude photo or rather. It's become more common than common-place, more expected than the mundane, and yet, here we are, talking about it all over again.
But a new battle is raging, and as pleased as I am to see so many people outraged by a young actress' right to sexual privacy being violated, I can't help but ask; why such an outcry for Jennifer Lawrence? It has always been disgusting to see so many young women, celebrity or no, be abused by the absurdity of non-consensual pornography, so why are we choosing to be outraged now? Shouldn't we have brought this up a long time ago?
Let me be clear; I am a fan of Jennifer Lawrence. Not only is she extraordinarily talented, but she is genuine, humble, and incredibly gracious for all that fortune has bestowed upon her (at least, this is my impression of her). She deserves to live a happy, private life as much as any other human being on this planet. Her fame does not revoke this privilege, nor does it make her body public domain for all of the world to enjoy with the click of a button, and my heart goes out to her for having to deal with the feeling of violation that she must be enduring. All celebrities are people just like us, and their wealth does not entitle the public to treat them like animals. As is such, dearest Jennifer, I am truly sorry that you are going through this.
Yet, with this in mind, we must examine the hold a young woman like Lawrence has over our hearts. Since her Oscar acceptance speech two years ago, she has been dubbed America's sweetheart, the new and perfectly imperfect vision of home-grown, fast-talking starlet, a vision of loveliness that is not afraid to school the world on what it means to be strong, powerful woman. With her honest and unique personality, she became much more than a simple idol. She became our daughter home from college, the sister we haven't seen in a dog's age, and the giggling best friend, hands clasping a hot cup of coffee and chattering excitedly about her travels abroad. Despite her prestige, Jennifer Lawrence is just like us, and we love that.
In several societies throughout the course of history, a terrible fate would befall the individual who violated a prominent woman, young or old. It's interesting to note, however, that the same sense of outrage and injustice was not present with some of the more common-folk, and any act of violence in the name of the victim's honor was somewhat frowned upon by the "powers that be." Though I do not condone violence in any form, it is interesting that society's attitude towards these separate groups of women has not changed. At least, not as much as it should have.
On September 12, 2009, a 13 year old girl from Florida by the name of Hope Witsell killed herself because of a nude photo that she had sent to a boy she liked. The photo was quickly leaked and distributed to her classmates, making the taunts of "whore" and "slut" grow infinitely louder. Though she was bullied before, everything had become worse with the mass sharing of something that was meant for only one thing; to receive love from someone Hope had admired. Something that was meant only for the eyes of a potential lover ended in a tragedy that has been repeated so often that we are beginning to forget what life was like before technology turned on us.
Nude images distributed without the consent of the person in the image is a form of sexual abuse and needs to be made illegal. By making these images public, you are participating in the sexual violation of a human being and should be punished accordingly. Every person, whether they are a celebrity or not, deserves to feel safe in this world, and the flippant infringement of their privacy is, and must be considered in the court of law, as a crime.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to share intimate photos with a partner. In fact, I would argue that it is very human to do so. Our bodies are magnificent tools, capable of absolute power and beauty with every step that we take. Its natural form is a thing of glory, and as men and women, we have the right to enjoy our own bodies in the way that we choose. A woman who has private photos leaked is not a slut, a whore, a bitch, or "asking for it" in any capacity. She is human, just like everyone else, and deserves absolute love and respect.
It has taken America's sweetheart and her photo leak for us to realize that we are in the thick of a very serious problem with the way we view "unintended pornography". We should have cared this much before. We should have taken action when we heard about Hope Witsell, Nova Scotia's Raetaeh Parsons, or British Columbia's Amanda Todd. We should have talked about sexual violation long before Blake Lively had to have her people work to get all of her hacked photos removed from the internet's elephantine memory. Nevertheless, the discussion is now on the table and the spark of its flame no longer matters. We're here now, and we are paying attention. Despite its insidious beginnings, I am grateful for that.
Now, let's put all of these distributors out of business, shall we?
Kristen Stewart auf dem Cover von "Glamour": Bemerken Sie, was hier falsch ist? Richtig, Stewarts Arm verschwindet in ihrem Bein. Eine ungewöhnliche Entscheidung der Photoshop-Experten.Glamour's November issue, she too fell victim to the photoshop madness. The potentially cute photo is ruined by a strange choice to cut off half of her arm (which somehow disappears into her leg).
In the ad, Victoria's Secret model Lais Ribeiro stands with her torso bent at an angle, but from our viewpoint, it looks like VS spliced two halves of two separate photos together to create one model, bisected by her arms. There's no way any human can have that whittled a ribcage, right? Right?
We know for sure that Drew has some sexy curves. Where are her hips?
When we first saw these photos of Namibian model Behati Prinsloo for Juicy Couture's fall 2012 jean line, we expected to see signs of Photoshop in Prinsloo's arms, torso or even hips. We were happy to see that the model actually looked pretty natural, until we realized that her left foot in this photo is wonky and she's missing several toes.
Not only did Ann Taylor take a few inches off of a model's waist, the brand's website accidentally revealed the "before" shot, thanks to a tech glitch. The "before" is on the left, and Ann's "improved" version is on the right.
Oopsies, this model lost her funny bone when the people who were editing Alloy's catalogue released this photo.
Gwyneth Paltrow is a women of many talents, but her pose in this Terry Richardson shot seems impossible.
Grazia airbrushed one of Megan Fox's tattoos off her April cover. The tattoo that vanished? The Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." (Courtesy photo)
We know Ralph likes to retouch his models, but can't he leave the animals alone? We're guessing that's an entirely new head on the dog wearing a Polo and that he was just dropped into the image on the right.
In this jarring Ann Taylor LOFT photo of Linen Twill Shorts, the model appears to have a thumb emerge directly out of her arm, above the wrist. (LOFT photo)
This just shows how advertisements mess up women's perceived image of what the "perfect" body is. This model had perfectly fine-sized breasts but either Free People or Karma Loop decided to enhance the model's right breast, and then promptly forgot to give the other one the extra lift.
Natalia Vodianova's July 2012 cover for GQ Russia has the model all out of proportion... and her hair seemingly carved out with the "lasso" tool on Photoshop.
In this J. Crew ad, someone went a little crazy with the photoshop and left some very interesting thigh cut-outs.
Maybe this model is super-talented and rides some kind of unicycle contraption. We doubt it. This is a case of horrible photoshop. How could Neiman Marcus have assumed that this model's backside could cover up the entire half of a bike?
Jessica Alba is the latest victim of over-enthused retouching, on the June 2012 cover of Marie Claire. The whole cover seems washed in a bright pink haze, and something seems a little robot-y about it to us. Maybe it's the way they did her hair? (Courtesy photo)
In this printed ad from an Italian haircare line, the female model's legs seem to have gone missing... or perhaps the male model's biceps are so big they conceal them? (PSD photo)
Model Angela Linvdall posed for the March cover of Vogue Mexico looking every beauty but also, very elongated. Her neck and jawline seemed to have been smoothed and stretched out or she's a modern-day Stretch Armstrong.
It's one thing for model's to have endlessly long legs, but how can a human have more than two knees? Apparently, these models do. In this ad -- if you look closely -- the models' knees are bending but not where the skirt is bending. Optical illusion? Who knows.
Bloomingdales turned a perfectly innocent model into a mutant, giving her the pointiest, most elongated elbow we've ever seen.
The leg bone is not connected to the hip bone. Period. And for more, check out a dozen or so airbrushed Angel fails.
By now, we're used to seeing models' bodies whittled down -- but how about reverse retouching? Like, making someone appear heavier than she is? That's what happened with Kamilla Wladyka who was Photoshopped to look healthier. For the cover of Healthy magazine.
And On And On. This model loves Suave's Mango Mandarin body wash so much that she hasn't realized she's an amputee.
We don't think the lady model's legs make any sense in Dolce & Gabbana's ad for light blue, although, somehow, 47 percent of you thought everything looked just peachy.
We still don't know what this was about but it seems more relevant than ever. Did Wills dye his hair just for the Hello cover shoot? Or was someone playing around with the color and contrast in everyone's favorite retouching program?
Here's an interesting spin: model Irina Shayk claims GQ Spain Photoshopped the underwear right off of her and that she never posed in the buff. She's taking the Spanish glossy to court over the pics.
"New Zealand's Next Top Model" came under fire for having a 16-year-old contestant pose topless, with only mud smeared across her naked breasts and then posted an unedited picture from the shoot online. The solution? A spray of Photoshopped steam covering up the girl's chest.
While Anne Hathaway looked stunning on British GQ's February 2010 issue, something's not quite right with her ultra-smooth armpit...
Another Ann Taylor photoshop fail...this time, they took out their airbrushing anger by amputating this poor model's arm!
On the January issue of ELLE Czech, model Denisa Dvorakova's arms channeled Barbie's freakishly sharp angled limbs. Furthermore, the synthetic looking visage of her face doesn't adds to her plastic-doll appearance.
We're not sure why someone would change Hilary Rhoda's already perfect and sky-high cheekbones to begin with-- but that didn't stop Numero Tokyo from engaging in this photoshop fail. The model's razor-sharp cheekbones were given a little too much tapering...yikes!
Some were shocked at Kate Middleton's frail frame in her Alexander McQueen gown on her wedding day. But a Grazia magazine retoucher decided to take it up a notch by airbrushing her already tiny waist, to look just like a life-size Barbie's instead. It seems that Grazia has tried to trick us into thinking the Duchess has the worlds smallest waist.
It's hard to even tell that this Maybelline ad features the one-and-only Christy Turlington, who is so airbrushed that she's basically unrecognizable. While the supermodel has always been known for her flawless complexion, her skin is so overly retouched that it bares more resemblance to a 3D animation than Christy herself. CORRECTION: A previous version of this caption identified the makeup brand incorrectly.
Louis Vuitton's fall 2010 campaign featuring models Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova is so aesthetically pleasing to look at, that it's hard to notice this photoshop mystery. But if you look closely in the mirror, you'll see a random reflexion in the mirror that doesn't match up with the actual scene going on.
Kate Moss and her eight-year-old-daughter Lila Grace are as pretty as can be in this September 2011 Vogue spread. But unfortunately, Lila Grace and her poor fingers are the victims in this photoshop disaster.
Kim Kardashian has always embraced her curvy figure--but the original and untouched photo that Complex.com accidentally posted of a thinner Kim says otherwise.
This photoshop faux-pass is brought to you by H&M, who decided to give this model a face lift...but literally. We're not quite sure why they choose to make her entire face disappear from a 45 degree view, but whatever the reason, it seriously freaks us out.
Even though it was confirmed by a company rep that this was not Photoshopped, it still looks as if there is no horse body behind that model!
Photoshop was used and abused on the cover of Charlize Theron's Los Angeles Confidential cover. Her hand looks more like a paw (or claw) as it appears that her fingers have all melted together-- creepy!
We're pretty sure that a child was responsible for scribbling up (and coloring in) this photoshop fail. The sketchy image from Walmart appears to be selling a bikini top...but we can't really tell.
This Campari campaign morphed Jessica Alba into a much (much) thinner version of herself. While she looks perfectly fit in both images, if the originals hadn't been leaked, we probably would have actually believed the lies...But unfortunately this wasn't the case.
While this isn't exactly the worst (or most obvious) photoshop flub we've seen, the original footage from this Ann Taylor campaign tells a different story. The screenshot, taken from a "behind-the-scenes" video, is a much more accurate portrayal of Naomi Watts- who looks way too overly airbrushed in the final version.
Someone messed up big time with this unrealistically photoshopped waist on Nordstrom's website. We're so distracted by her startlingly small torso that we can't even focus on the cute orange polo shirt. Note: This caption was edited for clarity's sake.
Russian model Anna Selezneva has been stretched to her limit in this photo for German label Set. While her left leg is lifted onto a couch, her right leg has been attacked by some vicious monster that bit right into her thigh!
Is it just us, or does Paris Hilton looks faker than ever on this Vanity Fair cover? Her strangely smooth face actually sort of creeps us out to be honest.
Does anyone else feel bad for this victim of retouching madness? This Talbot's photoshop abuser settled on giving this poor model only one leg.
For being 44 years old, Julia Roberts looks pretty near amazing. And while the actress still looks pretty in this Lancome ad, we just wish they didn't make her skin look so freakishly smooth. From the looks of it, the retouchers airbrushed the life out of Julia Roberts' face, and gave her a plastic visage instead.
Victoria's Secret, who is a notorious fan of photoshop abuse, was up to their old tricks again. This time, Model Candice Swanepoel's shoulder joint appears to be disconnected from the rest of her body.
Um, should someone tell Marissa Miller that she's missing a limb? Evidently, Victoria's Secret took out a fit of retouching rage on the model's arm.
Just wondering, but who is that girl in those recent Rimmel ads? The faulty campaign featured a photoshopped image of someone who resembled a Zooey Deschanel lookalike with plastic surgery gone wrong.
Last time we checked, Khloe Kardashian is noticeably taller than both Kim and Kourtney...Khloe, who at 5'10 normally towers over her pint-sized sisters, apparently shrunk down to "fit" the frame for this Sears campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz. And what's going on with Khloe's right hand?
It's pretty disturbing that these Ralph Lauren photos somehow got the go-ahead to be published in the first place...The fashion label received harsh criticism for these images featuring an emaciated looking model, who actually more so resembles a bobble head on a skeletal frame. Even more alarming is that the photoshop victim, Filippa Hamilton- claims that she was actually fired by Ralph Lauren for being "too fat."
SimpleBe, a UK brand known for catering to plus sizes, has photoshopped this models hand into, what appears to be, a claw.
This Target Australia ad contains one major mistake: there seems to be a hand resting on mom's hair. Yeah, that's an extra limb, that we assume belongs to the dad. (Target ad)

Building stakeholders need compelling metrics, tools, data, and case studies supporting major investments in sustainable building technologies. Proponents of green building widely claim these buildings to be cost-effective, but often these claims are based on incomplete, anecdotal evidence that is difficult to reproduce and defend. The claims suffer from two main weaknesses: (1) buildings upon which claims are based are not necessarily green in a science-based, life-cycle assessment (LCA) sense and (2) their measures of cost-effectiveness often are not based on standard methods for measuring economic worth. Yet the building industry demands compelling metrics to justify sustainable building designs. The problem is hard to solve because, until now, neither methods nor robust data supporting defensible business cases were available. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Building and Fire Research Laboratory is beginning to address these needs by developing rigorous metrics and tools for assessing the life-cycle economic and environmental performance of buildings. Economic performance is measured using standard life-cycle costing methods. Environmental performance is measured using LCA methods that assess the carbon footprint of tall buildings as well as 11 other sustainability metrics including fossil fuel depletion, smog, water use, habitat alteration, indoor air quality, and human health. Carbon-efficiency ratios and other eco-efficiency metrics are established to yield science-based measures of the relative worth, or business case, for green buildings. The approach is illustrated through a realistic tall building case study. Finally, the paper describes NIST activities and future plans in this area.
