Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Pleasant Hearth Easton Prairie Large Cabinet-Style Glass Door Fire Screen - Black:
BJ's price was the best. Nice unit, a little hard to understand the directions when attaching to the inside of the chimney, since I am not a mason, but I got it done in about 1 hour, and I am happy. Great comments of how nice it looks in my home.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Glass doors help to reduce that 'fireplace' smell during the warmer months.Glass doors swing wide open making it easy to load wood.Mesh screen doors behind the glass doors prevent sparks from shooting out.
Works great! Looks great!!
By Coleen
from Millersville, Maryland
This fireplace screen door is well built and very solid. It fits snuggly into my fireplace and the doors close tightly. It feels very solid against the firplace wall, and looks very attractive. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and the price was great, compared to many fireplace glass doors.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Punctual, Professional and good value, will use HEating again and recommend rated people for finding quality tradespeople.
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!

DBS's & Safeguarding
What are DBS's?
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) helps employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children. It replaces the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA).
A DBS check is a report from the police which details any and all entries the police have on their system for you. This is just a formality for most people and is purely a precautionary measure to ensure children and young people are safe on their activities. The search is for relevant records, so, for instance, there is no need to worry if you want to work with children but have a speeding ticket!
Every Local Authority in the country has a Local Safeguarding Children Board in place to make sure that children are protected from harm and that their welfare is promoted. In Norfolk, the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board (NSCB) is made up of statutory and voluntary partners who work with families and children. We are an independent organisation and make sure that people working with children carry out their safeguarding responsibilities as required by the law.
There is a wide range of professionals who have a duty to keep children safe from harm, protect their welfare and support them to achieve their potential. Safeguarding is everybody's responsibility, so it is important that professionals have the knowledge and experience to fulfil their duties. The Board provides advice and guidance to frontline staff on multi-agency safeguarding procedures.

I don't know was wrong with it but I need it fix asap.
From a cold start the truck begins to build temperature almost immediately. I have changed the thermostat and in the process i hooked it up without the thermostat to make sure the water pump was working (it was). The return line that comes from thermostat back to top of radiator is building a lot of pressure and does not seem to be getting hot at all. why is the truck getting hot? also, if i take the radiator cap off while the truck is running it will actually start pushing fluid out.. light it doesnt have anywhere to go

We had a snow day here in Georgia and we have another one tomorrow! Yee-haw! I've been working on my Valentine's Day unit for about three days and it is almost finished. I hope to have it finished and posted tomorrow. I'm happy to have another stay home day but I'm ready to get to school and get started on my penguin unit. It is sooo much fun and the kids love it!!! I will be posting lots of pictures. (I won't forget my camera this time... I promise!)

Deanna, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas with all of us. I have purchased every unit you have developed from TpT and they are great! I would love to create my own units but am curious about how to go about it and where to get the clip art. As a kindergarten teacher and mother to two, let me say it is very much appreciated all that you do to make a difference in the lives of kids. Keep up the great work!ReplyDelete
I REALLY love all of the cute clip art/pictures you always have for your worksheets, games, blog, etc. Where did you those from ?? Could you please e-mail me? email@example.com THANK YOU!ReplyDelete

Where Things Are At…And New Fiction!
Been a while since the last update…hope you all have been enjoying the elevation rules!
As for when the Kickstarter will happen, that's still in a holding pattern at this time. As seems to be the case always with Leviathans, we are struggling to find a manufacturer that can produce the miniatures in the format that we need. We thought for sure we'd found the manufacturer that we could move forward with and that simply ended up not being the case, so we're working with a new manufacturer on the details. All of that must be taken care of and signed off on before we can launch the Kickstarter; i.e. it would be incredibly reckless to launch the Kickstarter without having a manufacturer lined up and ready to go as soon as it ends. In hindsight we should've hand that lined up before we even announced we'd be running a Kickstarter but I never imagined it would take so long just to line up the details correctly with an appropriate manufacturer. As ever, when we have some firm movement on that end, I'm happy to share that.
In the meantime, for those that haven't seen it yet, we released some fiction from Blaine Lee Pardoe in two issues of Ravage magazine.
Here's a peak at the first page that appeared in Issue #10, which is available now! Issue #11, which contains the conclusion, will be available shortly. Hope you enjoy the good read!
See ya next duty shift!

Reserve Allen Roberts had 15 points and D.J. Newbill added 13 points as Penn State won for the sixth time in its past eight games, 68-59 against Duquesne on Wednesday night at Consol Energy Center.
All-Big Ten point guard Tim Frazier had a career-high 13 assists along with 11 points for the Nittany Lions (8-3), who won despite having only 10 free throw attempts as compared to the Dukes' 34.
Ovie Soko had 19 points to lead the Dukes (3-4), who shot 27 percent from the field and made just four of 23 attempts from 3-point range.
Soko, who made 12 of 14 free throws, played just 22 minutes before fouling out.
Duquesne has lost four of its past six and fell to the Nittany Lions for the second consecutive season.
Penn State's Donovon Jack had nine points, 12 rebounds and six blocks.
Playing its second game in the city of Pittsburgh over a nine-day span, Penn State fared better than it did in a nine-point loss at Pitt on Dec. 3. Counting a 90-77 win over Marshall in between, the Lions have combined to hold their past three opponents to 27.8 percent first-half field goal shooting.
Unlike they did against Pitt (which shot 58.5 percent in the second half), however, Penn State continued to stifle the Dukes through the final buzzer. Other than a stretch of about seven minutes midway through the second half, Duquesne's shooting was cold from all over the court.
Only one Dukes player — junior forward Dominique McKoy — made more shots than he missed. McKoy finished with 12 points on five of six shooting. Jeremiah Jones also had 12 points for Duquesne.
Penn State began the second half on an 8-2 run to open up a 15-point lead. The Dukes answered by scoring 14 of the next 18 points of the game to pull within five — but that would be the closest the Dukes would get.
Minutes later, Duquesne was within 50-44 after a pair of free throws by Soko with 8:40 left. But the Lions answered with an 8-0 run. Penn State led by as many as 19 in the second half.

To your point, is my monitor actually 720p (at 1366x768)? I understood it to be 768 native, so my monitor then, upon receiving a 720p image, must scale it to 768p. Is that accurate?

Healthy Chanucah Carrot Cake
140g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
5 heaped tbsp ground almonds or walnuts
2 organic free-range eggs
225g fairtrade light brown muscovado sugar
180ml light olive oil
180ml orange juice (equivalent to about 1½ oranges)
Zest of 1½ oranges
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g carrots, peeled and finely grated
For the icing:
Juice of ½ lemon
150g icing sugar
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and line a deep cake tin, 23cm in diameter. Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and nuts.
Beat the eggs with the sugar in a separate bowl.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil, juice, zest, and vanilla. Add the egg and sugar mixture and quickly mix to a smooth batter.
Fold in the grated carrots. Spoon into the prepared cake tin and bake in the oven for 40–50 minutes. To test if it is cooked, insert a skewer in the centre — it should come out clean.
Let the cake cool in the tin for 20 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing: combine the lemon juice with the icing sugar, mix to a smooth, runny paste and drizzle over the cake.
This cake will last for a few days if kept in a cool place. It also freezes well.
Variation: for an aromatic version, add the crushed seeds of 3 cardamom pods (discard the husks).

Executive order - Government can control ALL forms of private communications
US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security.
President Obama released his latest Executive Order on Friday, July 6, a 2,205-word statement offered as the Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions. And although the president chose not to commemorate the signing with much fanfare, the powers he provides to himself and the federal government under the latest order are among the most far-reaching yet of any of his executive decisions.
The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions, the president begins the order. Survivable, resilient, enduring and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies and other nations.
President Obama adds that it is necessary for the government to be able to reach anyone in the country during situations it considers critical, writing, Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience. Later the president explains that such could be done by establishing a joint industry-Government center that is capable of assisting in the initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of NS/EP [national security and emergency preparedness] communications services or facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis or emergency.
The views of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of NS/EP communications policies, programs and capabilities, he adds.
On the governments official website for the National Communications Systems, the government explains that that infrastructure includes wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, and broadcasting, and provides the transport networks that support the Internet and other key information systems, suggesting that the president has indeed effectively just allowed himself to control the countrys Internet access.
In order to allow the White House to reach anyone within the US, the president has put forth a plan to establish a high-level committee calling from agents with the Department of Homeland Security, Pentagon, Federal Communications Commission and other government divisions to ensure that his new executive order can be implemented.
In explaining the order, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) writes that the president has authorized the DHS "the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications."
In Section 5 of his order, President Obama outlines the specific department and agency responsibilities that will see through his demands. In a few paragraphs, President Obama explains that Executive Committee that will oversee his order must be supplied with the technical support necessary to develop and maintain plans adequate to provide for the security and protection of NS/EP communications, and that that same body will be in tasked with dispatching that communiqué to the Federal Government and State, local, territorial and trial governments, by means of commercial, Government and privately owned communications resources.
Later, the president announces that the Department of Homeland Security will be tasked with drafting a plan during the next 60 days to explain how the DHS will command the governments Emergency Telecommunications Service, as well as other telecom conduits. In order to be able to spread the White Houses message across the country, President Obama also asks for the purchasing of equipment and services that will enable such.

Why do we as americans allow executive orders to be used against the public, they are only designed to be used againt the executives of the country (the elected officals) only, hence there name. Bush Jr. was the first to get it by the public now the office of the president seems to think they can be used for anything they want to push thru and the public is against. They are really only to be used when the house and senate cant come to an agreement to force them to act.
I may be a little off but from my constutional law classes that is how I read it.

Outgoing presidents have been notorious for stepping up their activity in the Oval Office just before they have to turn out the lights. But Jimmy Carter set the bar so high it seemed unlikely that anyone would surpass his record. President Bill Clinton, however, did just that. His flurry of last-minute executive orders broke the Carter record that stood for twenty years.
During his two terms as president, Bill Clinton averaged about one executive order each week. By doing so, he was able to effectively legislate from the Oval Office. He wrote executive orders to set aside large tracts of land as national monuments. He wrote executive orders to restructure federalism. He wrote executive orders adding "sexual orientation" to laws on federal hiring. He wrote executive orders prohibiting federal contractors from hiring permanent striker replacements. In other words, he exercised a legislative function: he made laws.
In the past, presidents have used executive orders in order to move the executive branch of government in a particular direction. Presidents have used executive orders to close banks during the Depression, desegregate the armed forces, intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, protect endangered species, and ban assassination of foreign leaders. President Clinton merely took an existing executive privilege and vastly expanded it to allow him to make laws while sitting in the Oval Office.
And President Clinton followed in the tradition of President Carter in putting out a rash of executive orders during his last few months in office. Just on Jimmy Carter's last day in office alone, the Federal Register (a daily summation of new rules for the executive branch) was three times its normal size. The regulations drafted by President Carter and numerous lame-duck regulators earned the nickname: midnight regulations. By the time all the dust settled, it was estimated that President Carter added about 24,500 pages of last-minute regulations. President Clinton surpassed that record with over 30,000 pages of new regulations in the last 90 days.
The cost of these regulations is still being calculated. One of President Clinton's last-minute regulations concerned "ergonomic standards" for employers. These rules require that typists have wrist pads, adjustable-height chairs, and good lumbar support. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and various legal action. Industry groups estimate that these regulations alone will cost $40 billion a year or more.
Another expensive last-minute action by President Clinton was the executive order that banned new roads on nearly 60 million acres of public lands. For years, environmental groups tried to designate these lands as "wilderness areas." That would require congressional approval. With the stroke of the pen, President Clinton achieved the same result and effectively locked-up vast acres of land from logging, mining, (recreational use) and other commercial enterprises. In the past, President Clinton also locked up valuable natural resources when he created the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and the American Heritage Rivers Initiative. Both were the result of executive orders and will cost this country significantly in terms of unavailable resources.
The regulatory cost of executive orders is enormous. The National Center for Policy Analysis estimates that all of these executive regulations cost the economy more than $700 billion a year. That is more than the federal government spends on any budget item except Medicare, Social Security, and defense. The annual cost of federal regulations works out to about $7000 per household.
Critics have been calling for President Bush to overturn the flurry of executive orders signed by President Clinton. Doing so will be more difficult than most people realize. Consider the difficulties that President Reagan faced in overturning many of President Carter's executive orders.
President Reagan came into office and put an immediate freeze on Jimmy Carter's midnight regulations. But when it came time to begin to reverse these orders, President Reagan found himself thwarted by federal courts that ruled that existing regulations could not be arbitrarily ignored or revoked. Instead, they required that new regulations be crafted to reverse old ones. And this process is a lengthy one which requires advance notice and public comment.
President Bush will face many of these same obstacles. Like President Reagan, he put a freeze on Bill Clinton's last-minute executive orders. Over the next few months and years, his administration will face the daunting task of rewriting and revising these executive orders according to the dictates of federal court rulings.
By working at each area in a piecemeal fashion, President Bush will probably achieve a level of success. This will be a time-consuming process, but can be successful as long as his administration applies continuous pressure on the process.
President Bush will also be able to achieve greater success by signing his own executive orders that will move his agenda forward. Many of President Clinton's executive orders which are not tied to administrative regulations can be undone by the stroke of President Bush's pen. By following this process of revision and initiation, President Bush will begin to roll back some of the agenda of President Bill Clinton.
I'm not quoting idiots who promote unsafe recovery strap techniques anymore. :miff:

Like its predecessor, the SmartWatch 2 is powered by Android. Unlike its predecessor, and unlike anything else like it, the SmartWatch 2 takes advantage of NFC technology. Sony also claims the battery life is longer than any other smart watch. The screen is 1.6 inches with 220 x 176 pixels and can be used to access email, text messages, phone calls, social networking, and a slew of Android applications. The watch is also rated IP57, which means it can be submerged in up to a meter of water, which is laughable compared to the 165 feet of water the Pebble can withstand.
The SmartWatch 2 -- with a bigger screen, color display, and (supposedly) longer battery life -- could give the Pebble a run for its money. However, the Pebble supports iOS, while the SmartWatch 2 can only pair with Android phones. That's a make-or-break for iPhone users.
Then there's Apple's iWatch, which could hit months from now or years from now, depending on who you listen to. Listening to the news and rumors coming from Apple, one thing is clear: they're taking their time to ensure they release a quality product.
No price has been announced yet for the SmartWatch 2, but a September release date has been rumored. The first SmartWatch debuted at $150 before dropping to $100.

'Kiss of the Spider Woman' opens at Dillon theater
July 7, 2012
Patrons of the Lake Dillon Theatre Company are being treated to the full range of what the Broadway musical can be this summer. After opening the fun, feather-light "Xanadu" last month, Dillon is swinging 180 degrees into the dark and disturbing territory of "Kiss of the Spider Woman."
But don't let the theme put you off from a must-see local theater experience. "Spider Woman" teams a dynamite cast with the strong hand of director Chris Alleman and a live band to provide all the power of a big-stage musical in the intimate space of the Dillon theater. Josh Blanchard, the theater's executive director, takes to the boards for a powerful and moving performance as Molina, a gay man jailed for corrupting a minor in an anonymous Latin American country. Thrown into his cell is Valentin (Thomas Rainey), who's suspected of ties to revolutionaries and who's subjected to torture to reveal what he knows.
The basics of why they're in jail are inconsequential, as the play is primarily interested in the hopes and dreams put on hold in a prison cell and how the minds of the characters manifest where and with whom they'd really like to be. For Molina, the face of both his idol and his tormenter is Aurora, a film actress whose work he knows inside and out. Played with icy panache by Selah Grace, Aurora is also the eponymous Spider Woman – a role from the one film of hers Molina didn't like. She is, quite simply, death itself, and when she kisses you … watch out.
Dark fantasy is the name of the game in "Kiss of the Spider Woman," with most of the songs involving people who aren't really there in the cell with Molina and Valentin. It takes a good chunk of the first act to acclimatize oneself to where this piece is going, but the slow reveals and eerie, ethereal realms we visit are worth the wait.
Those who've seen "Xanadu" know this summer's crop of repertory actors is first rate, but there are a few surprises – actors in "Spider Woman" who aren't in "Xanadu." One is Blanchard, who's been growing out his hair for months to look the part of Molina and who may have a role of a lifetime on his hands. Nothing about Molina suggests anything other than a lifetime of pain and disappointment, yet at his center is a spirit that's not willing to give up, nor succumb to bitterness. Blanchard's portrayal of Molina's incipient humanity in the face of ultimate brutality is quite extraordinary, and he and Raines work well together as cellmates who move from dislike to a sort of co-dependency.
Another treat is veteran Broadway actress Mercedes Perez, who plays Molina's mother. Even in a cast full of strong singers, she stands out with a voice made for a big hall, cutting loose in the tiny Dillon theater.
And in almost every musical number, we have the three actors portraying prisoners who do multiple duty as the Spider Woman's singing and dancing partners. It's hard to understate how wonderful this trio – composed of Daniel Drews, Tyrell Rae and Frank Sansone – fills out each number while bringing to life such a wide variety of characters.
Other cast members include Ashley Alana Kenney as Marta, Valentin's girlfriend, and Russel Mernagh as Marcos Esteban. A special guest spot goes to Bob Moore, who recorded the voice of the unseen warden.
In presenting "Kiss of the Spider Woman" this summer, the theater is taking something of a risk with such a dark-themed show, but for those up for it, it's a nicely done piece of more challenging theater, and it may stick with you for some time. Indeed, no one escapes the kiss of the Spider Woman.

In the DLF Indian Premier League T20 Cricket 2012 (IPL 5) today 23 April 2012, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in their home pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
The two teams have met 9 times previously in the IPL and each has won 4 times. One match was washed away in the rains.
In this season of IPL 5, RCB got a royal drubbing at the hands of RR at Bangalore. After scoring 195 runs, RR restricted RCB to 136 runs posting a victory with huge margin of 59 runs.
Rajasthan Royals have an excellent track record at home. RR is playing like a team and Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane, OA Shah is in top form. It takes a special effort from their opponents to beat them at home.
On the other hand RCB is dogged with bad form factor of Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal. Even their captain Daniel Vettori is not in the pink of his form. They are languishing in second from the bottom while Rajasthan Royals are in second place in IPL Points table.

Why would anyone have thought there was a gag order in the O'Keefe case?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Just a quick note about how another favorite point of pushback from conservatives in the wake of James O'Keefe's arrest New Orleans has been that the nasty, liberal media erroneously reported that there was a judge-issued gag order attached to the case, which would suggest O'Keefe shouldn't be talking about his arrest.
It's all a pack of lies, claim O'Keefe and his mentor, Andrew Breitbart.
But why would anyone have (mistakenly?) thought there was a gag order surrounding the case and that O'Keefe shouldn't discuss it with anyone? Maybe because the defendants were telling people that.
In an article about O'Keefe and his infiltration pals, the AP interviewed a New Orleans friend, Johnny Angel [emphasis added]:
Angel said he asked the guys if what the newspaper was saying was true: Did they really try to mess with Landrieu's phones?
"They said they couldn't talk about it, that the judge said they couldn't discuss the case," Angel said. The fourth person arrested, Robert Flanagan, 24, of New Orleans, the son of the Shreveport-based acting U.S. attorney for Louisiana's Western District, also has been silent.
If you're getting the feeling you can't believe anything O'Keefe and Breitbart say, you are not alone.

It's Derek Connolly's week. Yesterday we were talking about his work on a new version of Flight of the Navigator and that he'd set up another, as yet secret picture at Disney with his Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow – which we now know is called Hank.
Now it gets better still as Variety reveal he's also at work on a Pixar animated picture with Teddy Newton, director of the sublime Day and Night short and story man on The Incredibles and Iron Giant.
This video from the special edition DVD of Iron Giant goes into Teddy Newton's special powers a little.
Now more details of the Pixar film are known, but Variety did run this nice little passage, starting with Connolly's comments on his plush gig in Emeryville:
"It's totally different, the way they do things up here. You're here everyday. You don't go away for three months and come up with a script. You're involved with a director and it's very collaborative."
The Pixar gang also told him "not to dumb it down or treat animation like it's for kids. "
Lucky bugger.

With gasoline prices finally in reverse, attention may shift to the Consumer Discretionary sector. The quarter has seen a big shift into the sector, with the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) Consumer Discretionary stocks up 2.4% compared with the S&P 500, up just 0.3%. The performance is even better for smaller Consumer Discretionary Stocks. With less demands on the wallet for filling up the tank, I expect that some discretionary spending may materialize at the mall. In order to identify some potential names to consider, I ran a screen designed to identify positive price momentum as well as strong fundamentals and good valuation among companies that make or sell clothes. Here are the parameters I used:
- YTD Price Return > 10
- Net Debt to Cap < 25%
- Estimate Revisions - Past 3 Months > 0
Five companies made the cut - (click chart to expand):
Whether you like big or small, there's something to consider.
Ascena Retail (NASDAQ:ASNA) recently changed its name from DressBarn. The company, which acquired the wildly popular tween retailer Justice (part of Limited Too), also operates maurices. As cheap as it looks (13 PE), the valuation excludes the fact that there is over $5 per share of net cash. Short-interest is 8% of the float, and insiders own almost 10% of the company.
Destination Maternity (NASDAQ:DEST) operates 700 stores (Motherhood Maternity, A Pea in the Pod and Destination Maternity) as well as over 1000 leased departments to Sears (NASDAQ:SHLD), Kmart, Macy's (NYSE:M) and several others. The company also is the exclusive provider of maternity apparel to Kohl's (NYSE:KSS). Short-interest is 3% of the float, and insiders own over 7% of the company.
Maidenform (NYSE:MFB) manufactures intimate apparel, including a variety of well-known brands distributed 90% through wholesale and 10% retail. Short-interest is over 6%, and insiders own over 3% of teh company.
TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) just reported and has pulled back slightly. The company sells off-price clothing and housewares (T.J. Maxx, Marshall's). Short-interest is over 2% of the float, and insiders own less than 1% of the company (3.2mm shares).
VF Corp (NYSE:VFC) manufactures clothing, including brands like Vans, Wrangler, Lee, The North Face, Nautica and many others. Short-interest is 6% of the float, and insiders own over 22% of the company.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Over the past few months, The Sand Trap has wandered a bit off course. For example, our daily recaps of PGA and LPGA action. That's news you can get elsewhere.
The Sand Trap is heading in a new direction. Instead of news, you'll get commentary on the news. We're moving to a new publishing schedule, and I'd like to step through it with you. Comments are welcome.
We're starting the week on Monday on a good foot with Hittin' the Links, a recap of the previous week's more interesting stories. Monday is also home to Bag Drop, a column that gives you the inside scoop on equipment, the players, the companies, and the executives behind it all.
On Tuesday, Cody Thrasher sets the golf world a-talkin' with Thrash Talk, a weekly slice of opinion - part rant, part persuasion, and part attitude. Wednesday, Cody contributes the PGA Tour preview along with Stacy's LPGA Tour preview. Whether you're in a fantasy league or simply enjoy watching golf on TV, our previews will inform you to a "tee."
Starting this Thursday, we're introducing the first of our new columns. The Numbers Game takes you into the world of golf statistics and how it impacts scoring, play in golf's majors, your own game, and more. Another new column, Pro Files, kicks off on Friday. Pro Files takes a look at the game's greatest players, architects, and other important figures.
The Sand Trap is going to begin the weekend with Trap Five, a countdown of the five most… whatever! Saturday is also home to Stacy's brand new interview column, Throwing Darts. Each week, Stacy will interview someone in the golf industry and share their answers.
Finally, on Sunday, very little will change. We'll still have PGA and LPGA Tour recaps, though we're going to inject a bit more opinion than you're used to seeing elsewhere. Who choked? Who played well? What did that week mean in the grand scheme of a player, a caddy, a course, or a Tour?
Of course, The Sand Trap is committed to bringing you the content you've come to adore as well, including our in-depth reviews. Our forum is open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, so we invite you to check that out as well.
