ATP World Tour Finals semifinals qualification scenarios
LONDON -- Stanislas Wawrinka on Friday joined Rafael Nadal in advancing to the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals from Group A.
Wawrinka earned his spot by first beating David Ferrer 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-1 and then watching Nadal eliminate Tomas Berdych 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 in the final round of group play. Nadal had already clinched his berth in the semifinals before Friday's match, but the victory enabled him to win the group and avoid having to face Group B winner Novak Djokovic next. Wawrinka will play Djokovic, while Nadal will meet the winner of Saturday's match between Juan Martin del Potro and Roger Federer.
Here are the qualification scenarios for singles and doubles heading into the final day of round-robin play:
Singles Group A

The decision has caused ripples in Corporate Australia since judge
Questions of how much reliance directors can place on advisers, and how financially literate they need to be have dominated boardrooms since.
Former Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman
Corporate governance experts agreed the judgement left some questions open.
Centro would require directors to sit down themselves and ensure that printed documents were correct, Mr Crawford said at a corporate law seminar in Melbourne on Wednesday. "You are going to have to require directors to spend a significant portion of their time . . . performing a task which is frankly not adding value and which is better done by people who are capable of doing it," he said.
Lawyers and senior board members agreed companies would need better communication channels between audit committees, auditors and management to ensure financial issues received adequate attention from directors, without flooding them with information.
There were 93 separate sets of accounts before some directors in the Centro case, and board packs were 1000 pages long.
Mallesons Stephen Jaques chairman Tim Bednall said: "I don't think any director should be in a position where he or she is obliged to consider 93 separate sets of accounts in a very short time frame."
Mr Cameron said directors needed to "assert themselves to management" when information became too lengthy to digest.
Former Supreme Court judge Robert Austin said one way of managing board processes to ensure compliance with the standards set out in Centro was for board members to attend and participate in audit committee meetings.
This would enable directors to apply "inquiring minds" at this stage, but it would sacrifice their ability to claim they relied on the audit committee's advice, he said.
But whether or not boards decided to attend such meetings, it would be ill advised for the entire board to be members of the committee, as this would reduce the committee's ability to make a detailed analysis of the material, Mr Cameron said.
The jury remains out among experts as to whether Centro has changed the law by raising the standard expected of directors of financial statements.
Dr Austin said he had "no doubt" it was a new restatement of the law, although it did reflect what was generally regarded in the industry as best practice.
The new standard did not raise the bar too high for the very large listed companies, but would make compliance "challenging" for the smaller listed companies, he said.
Freehills consultant Bob Baxt, who spoke at a separate seminar last night, said Justice Middleton had "gone too far" and predicted there would be an "exodus" of directors as a result.
Mr Crawford – who said he had chaired the audit committee of every board on which he had served as non-executive director – insisted board members needed business skills, not just finance skills.
His considers that the one good outcome of the judgement is that it made no new law.
He drew blank silence when he challenged those in the crowd to raise their hands if they understood the accounting standards.
Dr Austin said the Centro case left open how far directors were expected to drill down into accounting standards.
Even the auditors might have been uncertain about the accounting standard, said Minter Ellison corporate partner Carolyn Reynolds.
"PricewaterhouseCoopers and a number of other leading accounting firms hadn't quite caught up with the consequences of the change to accounting standards," she said.
PwC is party to a class action brought by Centro investors.
Mallesons partner Joe Muraca said the case could prompt reform of the ASX corporate governance principles that say it is "desirable" for all members of the board to have a degree of financial literacy.
"I think that's probably something that would need to be revisited," he said. Mr Muraca said it was clearly more work for boards and more work for companies to make sure directors were informed. Directors fees might need to go up, he warned.

Hi Kay,
Since the Lord's Name should not be taken in vain, the use of other
holy/sacred objects as swear words is somewhat common-place in French.
"Tabernac!" - Tabernacle! for example. It's sort of the idea of, if you
can't use the Lord's name, use something else that's considered holy/sacred
associated with God/The Lord. That I know of, this seems to be a "French

Subject: [Q-R] A question re: swear words
This is a weird question, I know, but it has come up on a list of friends
that I am on. Since Ken is at school, I thought maybe my Q-R friends could
confirm/deny whether this is true.
Ken's mother used many swear words of a religious nature. I only remember
"Sacre Coeur!" But Ken told me there are many more. Is this true? Was it her
patois (or joual)-she really had a strong one, from what he says-or does the
general public in Quebec use swear words with religious connotations? If so,
are you willing to give me some examples?
I am challenging French 1 and Ken says, if I get higher than 80, he will put
me in French 2 (here at home, of course). Our week of trying to speak all
French collapsed in a heap of laughter in just three days. Wouldn't you
think that, in nearly 32 years of marriage to a guy from Montreal and 5
years of high school and college French, I'd be fluent? He says I have "lazy
lips"-I just get too embarrassed having to make all the facial expressions
necessary for the bilabial fricatives, voiced uvular trills, etc. (I drilled
him on all of these when he took Linguistics many years ago-and yes, there
was much laughter.) BTW, Google has "uvular" spelled as "uvualar" on a site
on "places of articulation". Being a total spelling freak, albeit a
duodigital typist with occasional missed typos, I could not help but chuckle
at that!
Merci beaucoup, calins et bijoux, mes amies,
Kay, bound and determined to learn French!

Ted Simons: With the waste management Phoenix open now underway, tonight's Art Beat looks at the art of golf course design with golf course architect Forrest Richardson. Thank for joining us.
Forrest Richardson: good to be here.
Ted Simons: We talk about the art of golf. There is an art involved, isn't there?
Forrest Richardson: There is. There's art, there's science, and there's also the game. So it's really three elements -- but the art is an important part.
Ted Simons: I know you've described it as golf -- It's sculpture. It's like a massive sculpture.
Forrest Richardson: It is. Most people see one hole at a time. You're in an airplane you can be 20,000 feet and seat whole course but most don't appreciate it that way. What I do, of course I have to look at it that way and the individual hole.
Ted Simons: How do you do that? You start with a plot of land, I want a bunker here, a T short -- How do you do that?
Forrest Richardson: I wish it were that easy. It can be, but it begin was the land. And appreciating what the land has to offer. Many of our modern golf courses didn't have -- They weren't built on the beautiful fields of Scotland and whatever, so we've had to create in the last generation of golf courses the interest. So the TPC course is an example of a completely man made environment, but nonetheless, one that's very beautiful and has a lot of spectator opportunity.
Ted Simons: Sure. So when you design it, you can see from the ground, you can see the fairway -- You can see from the ground you can kind of see overhead how it looks? Can you get that in your mind? Do you have to draw it out?
Forrest Richardson: We spend a lot of time on the land. We spend time with the mapping, the aerial photos, and so it's a combination of things, but in the end, it's all about trying to make it fit the -- Not only the land, but also fit the region and the culture, so a golf course, for instance, in Phoenix is a lot different as most people know from a golf course in Minnesota. Or one in Mexico or one in Europe.
Ted Simons: And also fit the ability of I would think your average golfer. Because for a time, they were building courses that were ridiculously difficult.
Forrest Richardson: The game is supposed to be fun. This is something that we say all the time, that probably has turned people away from golf, is the fact that we've maybe made course as to hard. So the best thing is to come out of it were a golf course that challenges the best players, but is really enjoyable for the casual golfer.
Ted Simons: Let's talk about the history of golf. We have photos here including the first one which basically shows probably what the first golf course design --
Forrest Richardson: that's in Scotland, and that is a golf course that in the last few years has been rediscovered. It was closed during World War II, and it is just a beautiful old course that literally was reminiscent of the way course was have been in the 1600s.
Ted Simons: And now we've got St. Andrews, the old course -- That's what people think when they think of old courses.
Forrest Richardson: that's really where the first seed of golf course design was born, in the late 1700s they decided to change the old course from 22 holes to 18. No one knows exactly why. It could have been slow play or just the town was growing, but that was the time when all of a sudden the handprint of man was brought to golf courses.
Ted Simons: You talk about the handprint of man, our next photo shows these golf courses in some respect were close to buildings and towns and roads.
Forrest Richardson: They were. They were like the greatest ski lodge and resort you could ever imagine. You finish golf and you were right there at the pub and the restaurant and where you would spend your time. But the -- What happened is when golf came to the United States, in America, in the late 1800s we didn't really know what they were supposed to look like. So the -- My predecessors, the people that started designing courses would create these manufactured looks. So Oakmont in Pennsylvania is an example of a very archaic looking golf course. Not a lot natural about it. A lot of man made features.
Ted Simons: That does not look normal. That sand trap --
Forrest Richardson: those are the church pew bunkers.
Ted Simons: Our next one is robber Trent Jones. He's known, he is the Forrest Richardson of golf courses design
Forrest Richardson: Mr. Jones, Trent as we called him, of course he has two sons that now carried on his work, Reece and bobby, but the wigwam, which is this picture, very typical of that post-World War II golf being built everywhere in the United States. Firestone, the wigwam, and the '60s and '70s were rich with build more, build more.
Ted Simons: And signature courses meaning people know by certain details who built this course
Forrest Richardson: right. Mr. Joins coined the phrase signature golf course. He also said hard pars, easy bogeys.
Ted Simons: We have a picture here of the 7th hole at stone harbor. This looks a lot like another signature par three.
Forrest Richardson: Desmond Muirhead was one of the truly right-brained out there thinking gentlemen in golf course design. And in the '80s, he created these really wild symbolistic courses and they did a lot of them in Indonesia and Japan, and a few in the United States. Unfortunately stone harbor doesn't survive. All the work he's done has been tamed down. But it was when the art was brought to a different level.
Ted Simons: When you see the saw grass, the par three at saw grass, which golfers are familiar with, that's the one --
Forrest Richardson: that's what really was the precursor to the TPC course in Scottsdale where we were creating courses for spectators.
Ted Simons: Let's look at your courses, starting with the Arizona grand. When you designed this course, you got the -- You've got such a beautiful scenery to work with. First of all, what do you try to emphasize, and secondly, how do you keep it from standing out like a sore thumb in a beautiful desert environment.
Forrest Richardson: It was a tough assignment. It we were using land adjoining the mountain preserve. We've created new habitat for the parks, so the exchange of land brought more land to the park, but it's all about integrating it with the land, taking advantage of those great views, taking advantage of the terrain, and making it feel like it's been there for 100 years.
Ted Simons: Got hideout in Utah, same thing only in high country. Is it easier in high country or more difficult?
Forrest Richardson: It's more difficult because you have a shorter growing season and you have other constraints. Again, the idea is to really fit the land to the golf and have the golfer feel they're in an environment just like when people see pebble beach on TV, or they see any famous golf course. It's all about the land.
Ted Simons: And rocky point, Mexico, I've played this course, and you got the wind, and this is like a links course.
Forrest Richardson: It's a links course and that particular hole, there was virtually nothing done to it. It wasn't so much about designing, but going back to the very first slide you saw where the golf course was found and discovered as opposed to actually being created.
Ted Simons: We've got about a minute. Let's hit you with this one -- Critics say golf courses wastewater, there's too many of them, they're a poor use of land, leave things in their natural state. What do you say to that?
Forrest Richardson: To some degree those are fair comments. However, most course, not all of them, most golf courses out here use reclaimed water. In Hawaii, they want us to put more turf if because the land is so porous, having the reclaimed water filtered by the plant is a positive thing. And most golf courses anywhere are serving a purpose of open space, they're serving for drainage, a golf course has enough oxygen produced to maintain a city of about 10,000 people. So golf courses are sustainable open space, and if they're designed properly and built properly they can be terrific neighbors to a community.
Ted Simons: All right. Very good. Thank you so much for joining us.
Forrest Richardson: Thanks for having me.
Ted Simons: And that is it for now. I'm Ted Simons. Thank you so much for joining us. You have a great evening.

This morning I Tweeted about a feature in the September issue of Comics Buyer's Guide -- in it, Jeffrey Brown lists his 10 favorite comic-book covers.
Brown names everything from a Paul Pope Batman Year 100 cover to an issue of Acme Novelty Library. ("Chris Ware's covers alone can provide hours of enjoyable reading," he says.) He has equal passion for X-Men and Eightball, and I admire him for being able to narrow his picks down to 10.
Pop reader Kelly T., aka 1979semifinalist, points out that she posted a similar list on her blog, only she counted down her 100 favorite comic-book covers! It's a pretty cool roundup of images -- you'll see several Buffy and Y: The Last Man art here -- and I love that she admits including "a high number of badass chick covers, as I am a badass chick."
For links to parts II, III and IV, scroll to the bottom of the page.
Do you have any all-time favorite covers? Shout in the comments, and link to the image if you can.

FlipTop: The First Filipino Rap Battle League
FlipTop: The First Filipino Rap Battle League, popularly called FlipTop or FlipTop Battles, is the Philippines' premier rap battle contest joined by underground and amateur rappers. FlipTop is sometimes described as a modern day Balagtasan, where two rappers are pitted against each other in a battle of a capella rap.
In most competition formats, FlipTop has 3 rounds per battle and the winner is determined by a panel of judges. Rappers are allowed to write the lyrics of their
Prominence and impact
Founded on 6 February 2010 by Anygma (Aric Yuson), FlipTop gained prominence through video-sharing site YouTube. As of November 2011, all videos uploaded on its official YouTube account "fliptopbattles" gained 107 million views and is the third most viewed and sixth most subscribed channel in the Philippines.
Though it has an English-language conference, the FlipTop Battles are popular for its use of Filipino in its lyrics. Though delivered in freestyle, lyrics are loosely structured and rhytmic.
FlipTop lyrics are commonly spiced with Filipino vulgar and cuss words since, like most rap battles in other countries, the common aim between competing FlipTop rappers is to debunk each other's notions through insults and expletives. As such, according to a blog entry on Filamfunk.blogspot.com, the FlipTop space "is not immune from homophobic, sexist, or racial punchlines." Still, there was a FlipTop promotional battle between Target and K-Jah on 21 July 2011 which did not appear to be a battle but a critique on the prevalent lyricism in FlipTop battles.
Among the prominent FlipTop rappers is Loonie (Marlon Peroramas), who has released his debut album The Ones Who Never Made It. The FlipTop style of rapping was also incorporated in the musical William by the Philippine Educational Theater Association.
History and evolution of FlipTop
The phenomenon of FlipTop has actually grown as the variety of Web users in the Philippines has. It is popular in every part of the nation that the Web can reach, and where there is a culture of "collectivism" such as inside a computer system store.
In freestyle rap, tossing the insult back at your challenger is called a "flip".
The group FlipTop held the first Filipino Rap Battle League in the nation on February 6, 2010 at Quantum Café in Makati where rap artists (likewise called MCs) Fuego, Datu, and Cameltoe fought onstage.
FlipTop is an occasions and artist handling company led by Alaric Riam Yuson, even more famously called Anygma.
When the Tectonics fight rap was held at Katips Bar and Grillery in Quezon City in December 2010, Anygma provided honor to our country. Sleazebag Dan led the MCs from Grind Time Now, a US-based group that set the worldwide requirements of rap fight.
All the 3 fights that day were won by Filipino MCs. And on that day, FlipTop got around the world acknowledgment.
At present, FlipTop has flourishing departments in the NCR, CALABARZON, Central Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, where fliptop battle occasions are held a minimum of as soon as a year.
FlipTop has actually acquired traction not simply in social networking websites like Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Independent inter-barangay and inter-collegiate competitions– amongst students and from school youth– have actually emerged. FlipTop has even end up being a topic in courses on pop culture and a subject of theses.
The event of Linggo ng Wika has actually never ever been the exact same, after universities and secondary schools in various parts of the nation consisted of FlipTop in their lineup of competitors associated with the event of our native language.
Some academics have actually called Fliptop the modern-day Balagtasan– to the discouragement of some fight rap artists.

Memorial Day Memories in Coupeville, WA
Whenever our families come to visit we try to show off the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Last Memorial Day weekend my parents suggested we head out to Whidbey Island to do a little exploring. Mike and I were happy to oblige.
Whidbey Island is just north of Seattle and one of our favorite day trips. It really deserves more than a day's exploration but we haven't managed a weekend long trip yet. An hour drive north and a quick ferry ride later we were all happily cruising along the winding main road through this laid-back island. There is so much to see, but we only had a few hours. We focused our attention on the historic town of Coupeville in the middle of the island.
First thing was first. We needed some grub. My folks aren't big on seafood so we settled for a hearty meal at the Knead and Feed. Seating can be limited in this small shop, especially on a holiday weekend, but we were seated fairly quickly. Dek munched on blueberries while we waited for our sandwiches prepared on freshly made bread and salads to appear. If you come for a visit try to get a seat by the windows. Lunch is even better when you can gaze down at boats drifting through Penn Cove and spot a bald eagle soaring by.
Once we were fueled up we hit the streets. Coupville is a history lovers dream with 50 structures on the National Register of Historic Places. Pick up a free map at the Island County Historical Society Museum and take a self-guided walking tour of the town.
We generally go to Coupeville to soak in the sea air blowing off of Penn Cove, wander along the dock, check out critters in the water, and gaze up at Rosie, the young male gray whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling of Coupeville Wharf. Rosie, which I still don't understand why they named a boy whale Rosie, sadly passed away on his swim south with his mother and was found on Whidbey Island. He is now on display along with two other water mammal skeletons as part of a wildlife conservation exhibit.
No trip to Coupeville is complete without a stop at Kapaw's Iskreme, a tiny ice cream shop in the middle of town. You won't be able to resist the smell of freshly made waffle cones tempting you in the door. This creamy treat will recharge your batteries as you finish up your tour of the town. Don't be daunted by the line that winds its way out of the front entrance. It moves fast and the wait is worth it. If you need a little caffeine pick me up to keep you upright pop into Local Grown, a go-to stop for espresso, farm food, general first aid gear and marine supplies on the wharf.
If you can't leave town without a little shopping fix bring the kids by Honey Bear to wander through the maze of toys. Tell the kids to stick their hands in their pockets when you step into the Jan McGregor Gallery though. This Japanese import shop carries antiques and stunning furniture that transport you to a land of mystery that is more museum than shop. For a little more touchable fun head over to A Touch of Dutch and browse their selection of artwork, linens, delicious treats and a few goofy souvenirs.
No matter how you tackle Coupeville you are bound to have a great time. We once again showed off a Pacific Northwest gem, giving my parents a glimpse of why we love it out here so much. We'd also managed to wear Dek out with all of the fun. It was time to get home for dinner, put our feet up and head to bed.
Sounds like a great day trip! I love the "Nothing Happened" plaque.
We have family on Whidbey Island and I love seeing your pictures of places that are familiar to us. It's a beautiful part of the world and a great summer vacation destination. Thanks for the post!

IN this week's hour-long special Monty Don, Carol Klein, Rachel de Thame and Joe Swift are at the NEC in Birmingham, where the Gardeners' World Live Show continues until Sunday.
A world away from the opulence and extravagance of the Chelsea Flower Show, the show gardens here are a little more down to earth.
One, made by primary school children entitled Dig For Victory includes an Anderson shelter and a washing line.
Another vegetable patch has been entirely knitted.
And The Gardeners' World team are also after plant donations from the public to fill their Living Wall.
It's humbler than the Mirror's Diarmuid Gavin's seven-storey pyramid at Chelsea, but another attempt to persuade us that when it comes to the future of gardening, the only way is up.
There'll also be the usual tips on seasonal jobs to be done at home this weekend. We're just hoping they'll be able to tell us exactly what season we're supposed to be in.

Merciful by talitha kuomi
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 3 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
This pattern is available from knitpicks.com for $1.99.
This bag looks like it could be colorwork or fair-isle or at the very least like it could be slightly complicated. But, it's not.
Two strands of solid color skeins of Wool of the Andes are held together throughout the bag. The yarns twist and turn naturally as you knit along causing the dancing colors.
Knit in the round, all the yarn ends from the stripes are hidden between the outer layer of the bag and the inner knit lining layer. Only the cast on and bind off ends have to be officially woven in. (Insert a huge sigh of relief here.)
Three color combinations are pictured at the Knit Picks site:
'The Salsa' (shown here as the finished bag)
'The Collegiate' (blue, purple, tan and grey)
The Forest Floor' (a full range of greens)

Doin' It With Dr. V: "He Doesn't Remember Having Sex With Me!"
This week I got a letter from a lady whose man has been stickin' it to her, even if he doesn't know how hard he's been working:
My boyfriend and I just moved in together and we've been doing it all the time, including a couple nights ago when he woke me up in the middle of the night to have sex. He started going for it, not me. But the next morning, he didn't seem to know we had sex. He swears he doesn't remember it AT ALL. Come on! Is he joking? At first I was like, What does it matter? But really, I'm kinda freaked out. How could he have sex with me and not remember? We did go out drinking with some friends that night, but we didn't get wasted. I've seen him a lot drunker than that! Is he playing a joke on me? I don't get it. I can't stop trying to figure out why he'd lie to me. Is it really possible we had sex and he had no idea?
I know, it sounds incredible, but actually, there's a growing community of psychologists and doctors that would say "Yes!" It's like sleepwalking or sleeptalking, just sleep-schtupping. In fact, if you have a history of doing things in your sleep — like chatting or bedwetting — then you could very well be the kind of person to do it while you're catching some Zzzz's. The condition is called "sexsomnia" or "sleep sex." And it's starting to get wildly accepted as a legit sleep disorder.
Depending on whom you talk to, a few dozen or over a thousand cases of people sleep-sexing have been recorded. It's thought to be such a small number due to the embarrassment and fear factor. It's a pretty freaky way to get freaky and harder still to catch because the person doesn't even remember doin' it. But how come they don't wake up?
Supposedly, when someone isn't deep in slumber there is a chance for them to be aroused. (As if sleeping next to you wasn't enough, hot stuff.) It's different from a sex dream because those only occur during REM dream sleep. Sexsomnia, on the other hand, happens during a relaxed state, when parts of the brain that would reason with a person would be shut down. It's not uncommon for the horny sleeper to even just get it on solo and masturbate without waking up. All that work and you don't even know you got off! Bummer.
Often times, the sleepsexer won't even believe they've been naughty at night. And it can cause some tension in relationships, as you know firsthand. Double bummer. But don't let it get you both down!
The good news is, this actually can be treated with medication. Even better, it is not a sign that the sexsomniac is actually going crazy, having sex time issues, or is a liar. However, it is supa-dupa important that he goes to see a doctor, a sleep specialist to be exact. 'Cause girl, you don't want him trying to have sex with the wrong person while he's sleeping. Just read this case and you'll be convinced to take care of business. You have to take sleep sex seriously. Sex is meant to be awakening!
Hi, I'm Dr. V. I'm not a real doctor; I just play one on the internet. What I am is a lady, a lady who is a fool for love! And I love nothing more than sex. My deepest desires have happily lead me on many adventures in the sack, but they have also, sadly, made me one of my gyno's most valuable players. But I've lived to tell the tale(s)! So, from time to time, I will dish the dirt on everything from getting freaky to getting freaked out. And please, if you have a question, email me. You know I love to read your smut too!

The head of the General Services Administration is resigning and two top aides have been fired over an $835,000 training conference in Las Vegas that included a mind reader and commemorative coins.
"The president was informed before his trip to South Korea, and he was outraged by the excessive spending, questionable dealings with contractors and disregard for taxpayer dollars," said White House chief of staff Jack Lew.
Obama "called for all those responsible to be held fully accountable given that these actions were irresponsible and entirely inconsistent with the expectations that he has set as president," Lew said.
The Washington Post, which broke the story, reported that GSA administrator Martha Johnson submitted her resignation to the White House on Monday. Public Buildings Service chief Robert Peck and Johnson's top adviser, Stephen Leeds, were forced out Monday, White House officials said. Four GSA employees who organized the four-day conference have been placed on adminstrative leave pending further action.
The Post said:
The resignations come as the agency's inspector general prepares to release a scathing report on the training conference, held at a luxury hotel outside Las Vegas in October 2010.
Organizers spent $835,000 on the event, which was attended by 300 employees. The expenses included $147,000 in airfare and lodging at the hotel for six planning trips by a team of organizers. Among the other expenses were $3,200 for a mind reader; $6,300 on commemorative coin set displayed in velvet boxes and $75,000 on a training exercise to build a bicycle.
Here is Lew's full statement:
"On his first day in office, President Obama made clear that the people who serve in his Administration are keepers of the public trust and that public service is a privilege. Under his leadership, this Administration has taken historic steps to protect taxpayer dollars and eliminate waste across the federal government.
When the White House was informed of the Inspector General's findings we acted quickly to determine who was responsible for such a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars. The President was informed before his trip to South Korea, and he was outraged by the excessive spending, questionable dealings with contractors, and disregard for taxpayer dollars. He called for all those responsible to be held fully accountable given that these actions were irresponsible and entirely inconsistent with the expectations that he has set as President."

A learner moped driver has been taken to hospital after crashing into a car.
The accident happened at 2pm today, southbound on Ruxley Lane, in West Ewell, about 200 yards from the junction with Kingston Road, just before Pams Way.
Mike Underwood, 48, who drove past the scene five minutes after the accident, said a moped with 'L' plates on it was believed to have been driving in the outside lane of the carriageway when a black hatchback car crossed the central reservation and was in a collision with the bike.
A South East Coast Ambulance Service spokesman said three people were injured in the crash.
The moped driver, a 19-year-old man, was taken to St George's Hospital, in Tooting, as a priority by road, for injuries to his knee.
A woman and child were treated at the scene. The woman for a sore back and the child for an injury believed to be a cut caused by glass.
Two ambulances attended the scene and Surrey Police arrived five minutes later.
UPDATE: Ruxley Lane has since reopened.

|Home > National News > Genetic Revolution > Article
The man responsible for the most important scientific discovery last century has no doubts about the biggest challenge in this one.
"If I was 19 again my focus would be on the brain," said James Watson, the Nobel Laureate who helped work out the double helix structure of DNA 50 years ago. "It's a wonderful puzzle."
A wonderful puzzle that in the case of Dr Watson's son, Rufus, has gone very wrong.
The American geneticist was to have launched the five-yearly meeting of the world's top DNA experts in Melbourne last night, but was unable to attend at the last minute because his son, who suffers from mental illness associated with severe epilepsy, had gone into hospital.
Too much human tragedy, such as cancer and mental illness, was caused by mistakes in people's genes. But new knowledge about DNA would provide a way of "fighting back," he told the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Genetics in a recorded message.
The outspoken researcher, who is president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, New York, has made it clear that he includes abortion for severe mental disabilities as one weapon in the scientific fight against such conditions.
In a newspaper interview published yesterday, he said that if a test had been available to detect his unborn son's illness, abortion would have been appropriate.
"Any time you can prevent a seriously sick child from being born it is good for everyone," he told The Sunday Age.
Dr Watson predicted that scientists had a good chance of curing most cancers in the next 10 to 25 years. "I think we can do a lot over the next five years," he said in the interview for the congress, adding that his optimism was tempered by the fact that research often took longer than first thought. "You get snags." On the issue of public versus private research, he said patents on genetic technologies that had broad applications should not be restricted to one company or institution.
"A monopoly on an individual gene, particularly those involved with causing disease, has a very pernicious effect," he said.
Sydney Brenner, one of three scientists at the congress who won the Nobel Prize last year for their genetic research, said the sequencing of all the DNA that made the blueprint for a person had been likened to putting a man on the moon.
Getting a man there was the easy part, "what's hard is getting him back again".
As far as the genome sequence was concerned, this meant understanding how genes were regulated, or switched on and off at different stages of life in different parts of the body.
Dr Brenner, of the Salk Institute, has turned his attention from the worm to the puffer fish, a creature with a genome eight times smaller than our own, because it has very little "junk DNA".
The human genome is about 95 per cent junk, or DNA that does not contain genes. "You could call it survival of the fattest," he said. The puffer fish's "discount genome" was very useful for working out how genes in mice and humans were controlled.
The president of the congress, Jim Peacock, said he was concerned that misplaced fears in society would prevent genetic technologies being used to increase food production to meet increased world demand.
Dr Peacock, of the CSIRO, was disturbed Australian politicians in particular were still uncertain about the benefits of genetically modified crops.

How Does Inbound Marketing Work? [Infographic]
Written by Frank Fienbork
Frank is our Art Director. Originally from Germany, he moved to the U.S. to develop our brand re-design. He takes great care in making sure we carry our brand forward through all things visual.
See all of Frank's posts.
Maureen Ennis
Thanks for sharing this Frank. I recently attended the Inbound conference to learn more about this. It was an amazing experience. Great tribe of business people with forward thinking ideas for growth. I do think although the ideas are right on target, it is going to take lots of habit changing for us all to think more empathetically about buyers.
Frank Fienbork
Definitely, Maureen, it takes a lot of habit changing to think more empathetically about buyers ... The great thing is by doing that you start to think more empathetically about yourself and your own relationship to what you're doing and why, and that's as equally valuable if not even more.
Chan Narula
Interesting post, we are Devore Networks have been working on earning some inbound links.

Really good piece, I have applied e-Myth since 1996 to businesses and it never fails to deliver improvement. This graphic is really useful to support my comments to staff.

That's great, Mike, thanks! Glad to hear EMyth has been useful for you over such a long time.

Nah... It might be in my driveway with a tool box next to it more often but they are actually not to bad to work on and the reputation, while certainly somewhat deserved, is a little over the top. Reason being, many owners of these cars (especially given the price tag of them when new) have zero interest in doing anything themselves. Also, with the massive amount of online vendors reselling old parts for them, it's not too hard to get your hands on stuff nor will you pay all that much for them.

Yeah I'm trying to decide on where to go with wheels and tint. It's something that won't be done for a while anyway but I'm considering buying range rover sport wheels for it. There are tons of RRS owners who throw on aftermarket rims and sell their oem wheels/tires... I'd rather go with an OEM style on this car... not a fan of the typical suv aftermarket rims.

Great points 04yfz. The air suspension rides unbelieably well, especially considering it's a pretty massive truck. It's incredibly nice for both city, highway, and off roading as there are unique settings for each of these. It also has an "access mode" so that, when in park, you hit a button and the car lowers itself down to the lowest setting so chicks can get in .. all controlled right from the dash

Ahhh. A perfect exaggeration and the precise language that gives these cars the price point (which I'll touch upon later) that they are in.
The EAS (electronic air suspension) was dubbed by Jeremy Clarkson to be "ingenious engineering". It provides incredibly comfortable, capable rides and allows the car to act as rugged or luxuriously as requested by the owner at a given point in time. The system consists of three basic components:
- Compressor (pulls in air, compresses it, and passes it along)
- Valve block (responsible for taking compressed air and distributing it to the springs)
- Air springs (act like a shock and spring entirely using air compression)
The valve block and compressor have average life spans of roughly 75-125k miles. The springs will last roughly that long though they should be checked more routinely.
Now, what normally happens is somewhere towards the end of the lifespan of the springs (shown below), the rubber starts to get slight cracks or splinters and air will start slowly leaking out. As there is a ton of pressure, even a very small slit will lose air somewhat quickly. This will be obvious to an individual paying even a little bit of attention but to those who just get in and drive, they don't notice. As they drive more and more, the hole gets larger and larger to the point the car can no longer inflate the car up on the spring and it goes into limp mode. Then they take it in.
Now, depending on how long the leak has been building, they also run the problem of damaging the compressor. After all, the compressor is working it's ass off to continually inflate the spring as it loses air. Now, around this point, all four springs are probably close to their end anyway so the dealer will suggest replacing the springs (cost around 125 online but will run 200-300 at the dealer) and will suggest a new compressor 500) and valve block (1000). Then you have installation and this, while rather easy, is time consuming. So now you have a several thousand dollar repair.
That said, if you pay attention, replace the springs when they are going, and don't kill your compressor/valve block, it's not a big deal. The rear springs and compressor were replaced within the last 3 weeks and I'm going to put new springs on the front as they are maybe 80% through the life span... I'd rather take care of it now to not strain the other components.
But this is a perfect microcosm of why even the educated auto world hates these cars... they hear a horror story from someone who was told by a rich mom that a suspension cost 5 grand and they shy away for life..
Now, that doesn't mean that it won't have issues.. it will. But, as long as you tend to the major components (EAS being one of them) it's not bad.

Well, this is a tricky question. If you look at P38s (1995-2002) rovers, the pricing will vary from 4-14 (maybe even higher). The KBB on my car is actually up around 17 but the sellers can never get even close to those numbers because of the reputation (as displayed above).
But, there is the cost of purchasing and then the expected cost of ownership. For me, I was looking at the first 12 months. During that time, the car will need between 1500-3000 in repairs to ensure that it's nice and happy... Could use up to maybe 5k if I want to truly take care of every component. I paid 6500 for the car. In short, it's about a 10k vehicle. The trouble with them is that anyone who knows what they are doing will have invested good money keeping it in great shape and will want to sell it for that... those who took crap care of them want nothing but you have zero idea what you're getting into financially.
I was lucky enough to buy from a RR fanatic and also to find another RR fanatic in the local area who went with me and fully examined the truck. If you're serious about them, go to Rangerovers.net and try and get a local guy to give the car you're interested in a once over. There are major check list items you want to investigate.
For me though, it came down to... do I want a luxurious car that will require tinkering or do I want a trouble free 4Runner... the charm, character, and fun involved with caring for it had this leaps and bounds over the toyota.
It's a cult car and I'm already hooked.

I LOVE the P38 body style. I'm not a huge fan of the country (the prior body style) as it's far too minimalistic... but I find the newer rovers 2003+ to be too soccer mom for my tastes. The P38 works for a soccer mom but still has that manly rugged look to it (or at least that's my two cents on it).
I might have the front and rear bumper painted body color though

Girl Talk: I Was Born With A Cleft Palate
I was born with a giant, gaping hole in the roof of my mouth. Also known as a cleft palate, the cave within my lips has been through a 20-year nightmare from which I recently awoke. A rather rare occurrence, I was born with a cleft palate, but not a cleft lip.
My cleft palate surgery was performed when I was two-years-old. The opening was closed, but the odyssey was only beginning. A couple of years later, I had another surgery to have little tubes implanted into my ears, called ear tubes, to help me hear better. My cleft palate would cause many earaches and a mild loss of hearing, so these tubes, protected from the water with custom-made, hot pink earplugs, were crucial. Later on in life, I would have these tubes ripped out of my ears while wide-awake, resulting in one of the two most painful experiences of my life. The doctor told me I could punch him after he was finished, and I took him up on the offer as I was screaming bloody murder.
Elementary school began, and so did the daily cranking of my palette expander. Dad would use the blue tool to stretch my miniscule mouth each day in my parents' bathroom. Our special bonding moment occurred when he was all up in my grillz (by second grade I had a full set of braces), causing an aching discomfort throughout my school day.
Junior high came around, and the only device I hadn't been tortured with was headgear. Braces, a palate expander, and a couple of retainers later led me to the first of three momentous days of total mouth mortification. In 7th grade, I had just moved from a private school in Ireland to a public school in Texas. With no friends by my side, I waited in the lunch line alone. A kid I had spoken briefly with before was in line in front of me.
"Jordan, would you look at the mouth on this girl. Daley, why don't you smile for us?" said the boy.
They laughed and I turned bright red, humiliation written all over my tightened lips.
When a distant uncle (whom I barely knew) asked me at a family event if the kids in my grade made fun of my voice, I just stood there, glared at him, and walked away.
In high school I resembled a thug that had just gotten punched right in the mouth. Because I had not been born with my second pair of "lateral incisors," I had a black hole next to my front tooth. My braces, which I had now had on and off for about five years, continued to change colors, while my gap grew.
I had to skip my prom sophomore year due to jaw surgery. My severe under-bite was fixed after they broke my jaw and moved the top forward, allowing screws inside my head to hold my chomps together. To this day, I'm still afraid of the airport scanners going off as I walk through.
My second most painful experience occurred when I awoke from the surgery and had a foot of gauze pulled out of my nostrils from the deviated septum surgery I had also had that day. The mirrors in the hospital and at home were covered with large sheets of paper, transcribed with notes like "We love you, Daley" and "You did great!" I didn't touch my blended-up Thanksgiving dinner that week.
February 12, 2009 was the momentous day that I finally got my braces off. Celebrating with my family and friends, I didn't let anyone forget I had had braces — or something metal in my mouth — pretty much since the day I was born.
My three failed implant surgeries took the biggest toll on my eyes — my tear ducts, to be exact. Being told three times I would have to wait another six months to get my implanted teeth made rapids flow down my cheeks and onto my lap as I struggled to drive my car home. My clear retainer with fake teeth attached was not cutting it. Years later, the waterworks were on again, as my eighth mouth doctor spent four hours on the finishing touches to my two implants and four veneers. A couple of months afterward, I was out to lunch with my cousin to catch up, and an old man approached us. "Are you two sisters?" the man asked. "No, we're cousins," we laughed. Then the man looked directly at me and murmured, "You know, you should think about getting your mouth fixed." He was suggesting I get the jaw surgery I had already had.
But those tears were the last I would shed over my deformation. I've come too far and gone through too much to spend any more time dwelling on the past. These days I focus on how, when I go into the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, a crowd of other dentists and assistants are called in to prod and poke into my tiny mouth with utter amazement. With now a surprisingly high pain tolerance, both physically and emotionally, I love sharing the story of my 20-year, eight-doctor, and four-veneer triumph with anyone that's able to recognize the battle my pearly-whites and I have been through.

HOLY CRAP!!! Thank you coupon fairy!! went to target and got pretty mad because I specifically called yesterday to ask about prices and sizes and the girl told me they had Goodstart soothe in the 12oz size....yeah there wasn't any in that size and I didn't even see a spot for it. Well I went to double check prices just incase she told me the wrong thing....low and behold there was a target coupon AND $26 worth of checks!!!!! this was def a good thing especially after I tripped on a laundry basket right before we left and hit my head ridiculously hard. I mean like crazy hard, knocked the wind out of me.
So I got 4 RTF 6pk 8oz gentlease for FREE!!!! then even better is the catalina machine spit out $5/1 rtf 6pk AND a $5/2 rtf 6pk. I am starting to feel better about my having to buy so much formula so mr.sensitive tummy. like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders...phew
mamashaw-i think that is a great deal especially if you hate shopping there lol
Alyssa that is awesome!! Lol I love the coupon fairy! I never noticed her (I assume it's a her) until I started couponing
The Adventures of Jackson Tyler have begun!
Please leave trade feedback HERE
I love coupon fairies!
I'm getting the iTunes deal. I always get those when they have them at CVS. I either use them for gifts, stocking stuffers, or I use them to buy books that they don't have at the library, music, or apps.
My DH (dear husband) is hunting, so I'll have to go to CVS tomorrow with both kids. That should be a blast. I'm going to do my scenarios later tonight. I'm hoping to do one iTunes GC transaction, and then get everything else in one transaction to make it easy.

Shawna, you're super sweet, and so are so many of the ladies who have shared their stories. Without you guys I would have probably just quit couponing and given up any drive to do much with baby stuff in August or September when SO (significant other) and I said we would. Ashley can attest where there are days when SO (significant other) have discussed just staying childless and moving forward in our lives without children. In which case I would go back and get a PhD and he may go after a second. But I think there is a lot of truth I would have never gotten from my girlfriends that I get from you gals. Thanks to you all, I have found something else that makes me feel good doing, which is a new job, and giving back some. Being able to give back to another baby, does feel really good, and at the same time, it bums me out a little, its great because I know there are moms out there who can really be helped.
I need to figure out what to stock up on for christmas. I make peanut butter blossom and sugar cookies and decorate them has well. I love to bake cookies when it christmas time.
