Alternative fuels are still needed
Our View - Apr 05, 2012
The world seems to be failing measurably in trying to replace fossil fuel with renewable sources of fuel. There is no indication that solar power is about to take over the gigantic task of fueling our homes and industries.
Theres also nuclear fuel that has its possibilities but the dangers and extra expenses involved in supporting it diminish its benefits somewhat. And then theres wind and water power that perhaps could provide a noticeable difference in the way we provide our heat and air-conditioning and electrical power. But still they havent shown their power to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel.
During the eighties, President Nixon put into effect a 55 mph speed limit to preserve gasoline which reportedly provides more mphs at that speed than higher. When gasoline appeared to be more available, that limit was eliminated.
Now there seems to be more oil and gas available by new methods of finding and producing it and an emergency lack of it does not seem as near. So efforts to provide alternatives seem to have slowed down.
But we should never cease to seek other means of getting the power we need when our main source is not renewable. There are many ways of getting the power this earth will need in the future without relying on the one-time burning of the natural resources we would lose forever.
We must continue trying to develop those renewable resources to safeguard the civilization that has been provided by oil, gas and coal.

Few citizens know that nearby is a remarkable publication that is only back-geared towards outstanding programs in the franchising industry for women and minority owned franchises. There are a few even in the franchising business organization itself who are oblivious of this. Robert Bond has backhand and sold-out more books on franchising than any new causal agent in the World.
Robert is a in the flesh playfellow of mind, who I veneration for his no BS plan of attack to a authenticity cheque in franchising. Each Robert sends out a examination to the franchisors to ask them of their marked programs for women and minorities who buy franchises in their grant systems. Recently I occupied out Robert Bond's concession opinion poll of women and social group programs for the top franchisors. Each franchisor near programs will be hierarchal. I probability our joint venture will reputation last.
Women in franchising is a key element of a glorious franchisor, before having been personal friends next to Susan Kezios, Founder of "Women in Franchising" in Chicago, I got to cognize prototypical paw more than a few of the past of women in franchising and how they were harshly underneath depicted. That is not the skin today, as the numbers are communicable up. I'm convinced that she will take the stand for those franchisors, which do more than endow with lip feature to the mete out and their committedness to women in hand franchises.

Having viva-voce at the Annual Conference of the SBDC, I had also the luck to fitting next to Ann Dugan and her stiff unit of women advisors from the SBDC Small Business Development Center, at The University of Pittsburgh. It is cracking see the sincerity of these excellent kin in the Franchise Industry and how they are protective and promoting the rights of women in franchising.
I can call up all juncture we put a "Car Wash Gal" on one of our car bathe trucks, we get too more business organisation and that does sometimes craft technical hitches. I own The Car Wash Guys and The Car Wash Gals (CarWashGuys.com). In one period I recollect our establishment had put Car Wash Gals franchises in tons cities such as as Clarkston, ID, Belgrade, MT, Palm Springs, CA, and (3) in Los Angeles, CA.
It is recommended that all Franchisors donkey work not easy to push more than women and minority franchisees in their systems. It is bang-up firm and it is righteous for commercial. You'll be glad you did, embezzle it from me. Think on this in 2006.

While nearly all levels of NHRA racing continue to get faster and louder than ever before, the 1960s still wear the crown as the Golden Age of Drag Racing. It was a time when the sport was viewed as a dangerous past time, filled with outsiders who spent their free time creating automotive monsters bent on punishing quarter mile strips of asphalt. It was risky, regionalized, and personal. These days, connecting with that old raw spirit of racing is big business and vintage race cars of all types are increasingly hot commodities. This 1962 Corvette, nicknamed Mag Winder, captures the essence of '60s racing with a dyno-proven 502 hp small block, Super T10 four-speed, and plenty of old school visuals. Meticulously restored, the car has claimed first place accolades at some big shows like Super Chevy and the Street Machine Nationals but remains a force on the street. If you like to mix show car quality, brutal power, and old school charm, you're C1 is in.
When it comes to building drag cars with a vintage flair, the later C1 Corvettes are definitely a great platform. Aside from being the quintessential American sports car, the new-for-1962 body style looks like its lunging forward even when it's parked. As mentioned, this was a body-off job and a comprehensive one at that. The fiberglass shell was stripped down to its bare essence and carefully massaged into an even canvas for fresh Ermine White paint. This was never intended to be an NCRS factory-or-nothing type of build so the body work went a bit further than many C1 restorations. Panel fitment is above average and the whole car presents closer to "show car perfect" than "Corvette perfect". The slick white paintwork is accented by a pair of dark red racing stripes which offer a subtle amount of flake that remains practically invisible until sunlight hits.
The sleek body and paint is backed up by a host of details that take the Mag Winder to a whole new level. The front view is familiar with dual headlights on either side and a chrome-lipped mouth of a grille in the center. Crisp "Corvette" lettering lines the nose, just under the traditional cross flag emblems. The side profile finds another set of cross flag emblems in place about "fuel injection" badges on the fenders. Behind the simulated vents, more dark red paint ties into the stripes and adds a hint of aggression. Above the vents, "Mag Winder" lettering lets spectators know this car has a name and a purpose. From the stainless rocker pieces to the window trim, all the brightwork shows just as well as the paint, for a well-finished look all around. Glass is equally nice and dressed with killer vintage sticker from brands like Iskenderian cams and Schiefer Mfg. Co. In typical race car form, the rear bumper has been shaved and a six-taillight setup has been added for some period-correct custom work.
Flip the hood forward on this old-school racer to find a 383ci stroker dressed in a healthy mix of vintage and late model hardware. At the center is a tried and true 3750010 casting Chevrolet small block dressed in traditional orange paint. The block is topped with aluminum AFR heads that frame a vintage Winters intake. Fuel is delivered by a Demon carburetor which tucks neatly under a smooth chrome open element air cleaner. Finned Corvette valve covers keep the vintage good looks going. The front of the engine spins little more than a chrome alternator while a Harrison expansion tank fills in space on the driver side. Cooling is provided by an aluminum radiator topped with vintage stickers from Sun Instruments and Detroit Dragway. An MSD ignition fires the small block to life while coated Hooker headers feed spent exhaust gases through a stainless exhaust system with cut-outs, an X-pipe, and Flowmaster mufflers. All totaled, the setup is good for a documented 502 hp and 517 lb ft of torque.
Take a peek underneath for more high quality restoration work. While the body was off, the frame, along with several major suspension components, received a fresh coat of black paint that really allows the new hardware to pop. Behind the 383, a Borg Warner Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission with a scatter shield makes quick work of shifting. Around the drivetrain, the factory suspension remains in place with an A-arm independent front suspension and a live axle with leaf springs out back. Naturally, there are a few additions to help out on the track. The rear features adjustable air shocks and axle rebound straps while sway bars can be found at both ends. Steering is a manual as is the braking system which utilizes drum brakes all around. At the corners, 15-inch American Racing five spoke wheels add some vintage flavor wrapped in 6.70/15 rubber up front and 7.75/15 cheater slicks out back.
Between the fiberglass doors of the Mag Winder, the bright red interior remains mostly stock. Of course, with GM interior design of the 1960s, that's never a bad thing. Wide stainless door sill plates welcome entrants while cleaning up the edges of the new red carpet. Above, a pair of low slung bucket seats provide seating for two, divided by the transmission tunnel. In front of the driver, an attractive array of stock instrumentation keeps tabs on fuel, temperature, speed, battery, and oil pressure. There is a factory tachometer mounted on top of the steering column but, if that one is too tricky to see, a dash-mounted vintage Sun tach should do the trick. The attractive center stack offers a Wonderbar signal seeking radio but the real entertainment system is behind the seats where a Song AM/FM/CD head unit modernizes things a bit. At either side, bright red door panels round out the cockpit with sweeping stainless and chrome pieces. Nearly every piece in the cabin is ready for show, including the neatly finished trunk space.
The Mag Winder comes with plenty of paperwork to show its journey. There is a binder full of restoration pictures, as well as receipts, and even a few vintage pictures. Also included is the dyno sheet from American Speed that verifies the 383's 502 hp output.
Dressed in full drag race regalia, powered by one angry small block, and built with the kind of attention usually reserved for full blown show cars, this 1962 Corvette captures the feel of 1960s racing with all the advantages of the modern era. With a couple of big show wins under its belt and a look that will draw a crowd in an instant, this C1 has a bright great past and an even brighter future.

God of Harmony: A Song for David (Spicer)
A song for David, the choirmaster. To "Dives and Lazarus."*
Sing praises to the Three in One, the God of harmony,
Who makes the universe ring out in varied unity
Join with the music of the stars, the earth, the sea, the air,
For everywhere that beauty shines, His handiwork is there.
Sing praises to our saving Lord who led us through the sea
When waves of sin and hatred raged in dark cacophony.
We sing to Him who split the waves and led us on dry land,
And feeds us in this wilderness with manna from His hand.
Sing praises to the God of love who died our lives to save,
Who tasted all death's bitterness, lay cold within the grave.
Who shattered death, burst from the tomb. No pow'r could hold him there.
We shout with joy, "He is alive!" The glad news we declare.
Sing praises to the Lamb who rules the universe in might.
Who will return, restore His world, set all creation right.
Though flesh may fail and life may flee and death may close our eyes,
He will breathe life into dead bones; our song again shall rise.
* David Spicer, the choir director at the church I grew up in, passed away last week. He was a genius, the musical equivalent of the architect of a Gothic cathedral in Europe. He crafted the accompaniments of every hymn he played to convey the message of the lyrics. On many Sundays he improvised incredible, intricate medleys of every hymn and anthem we sang during the service, often using these as an introduction to the Doxology. He conducted choirs with professionally trained singers but also children's choirs. In addition to teaching me music theory and singing techniques, he encouraged me in my faith profoundly. He was also the first person to ask me to write a hymn. He asked for words that could be sung to a tune called "Dives and Lazarus." I wrote a hymn to that tune then, and he praised the result so much that I just kept writing hymns. Even after I had moved away, he often asked me if I was still writing them. I can think of no better way to honor Mr. Spicer than to write a hymn in his memory to the first and only specific tune he requested lyrics for.

Thanksgiving Reflections
This year, like many others, I feel tempted to skip over Thanksgiving and go right to Advent. Not Christmas, Advent. The time of waiting for Christmas, when we sing the only lament most Evangelicals know ("O come, O come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here …") and look out from our troubled world to the hope of something better. (Who? Me? Depressive?)
But that's why I need to give thanks. I need to remember that there is good in the world I'm in right now. My ultimate hope is in the future, but that's not the only hope. And God has already given me many tremendous blessings.
This year in particular, I have much to be grateful for. I was accepted into a PhD program, so I know what I'll be doing for the next five years or so. In the words of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof, I get to "discuss the ancient books with the learned men seven hours every day." It's a cool job and one that I really enjoy when I stop to think about it. This also means I get five more years with the wonderful community I've grown so fond of over the last two years. I'm thankful for my great friends here and the spectacular, generous hospitality I've received from them. I also have a contract on a really cute house 2 miles from campus. I'm so thankful that things have worked out so well for me.
And then there are all the universal blessings, things I've enjoyed for most of my life. My incredible family, old friends who I can still stay in touch with through the marvels of modern technology (even when they're on the other side of the world), heat and air conditioning, modern medical care, the beauty of the natural world and so much more. God has been really good to us.
This year has also been hard for me in one major way. My beloved grandmother passed away in February. Now it feels like there is a hole in the world, a place where she should be but isn't. I can turn in a moment from smiling at a compliment someone gave me to feeling deep sorrow when I realize that the compliment was on a piece of jewelry I inherited from her. And yet, this, too, is something to be grateful for. I'm grateful that my grandmother was such a sweet, generous woman. I'm thankful for all the things she taught me, for the good memories I have and that I was able to spend so many years with her. I'm also thankful that I was able to see her and say goodbye a month or so before she died. I miss her, but I'm glad for the time I had with her and that she is now no longer suffering but rejoicing before the throne of her beloved Savior.
And this leads me to the last and greatest reason why I give thanks. During my devotions this morning I read Colossians 3:1-4:
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
I'm thankful that Christ died for me, that I died with him, and now I, like him, have been raised up and received new life. None of the troubles of this world can touch me because the source of my life is beyond this world. I have the hope of sharing in His glory when He returns.
So now, as I wait for that time, I will try to give thanks, to rejoice, to enjoy all the good things God has given me while holding them loosely, knowing that my true treasure is in Christ.

On Remembering We Are Dust
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. – Psalm 103:13-14
Three months ago, the summer stretched in front of me, weeks and weeks with no fixed schedule where I could devote myself to everything I wanted to get done. I planned to learn German read both fiction and nonfiction, whip my mom's garden into shape, reconnect with old friends, write a large part of a novel, compose several blog, practice my flute regularly and shop for a house. I wish I was exaggerating. Classes start tomorrow, and not all of that got done. Not even close. My summer is just like life in general: so much to do, so little time.
If someone walked up to you and said, "You are dust," you'd probably be very confused and a little offended. If they explained that in the Bible, comparing people to dust is a way of emphasizing mortality, you'd be less confused, but probably still offended. Our culture does everything it can to forget about death. We encourage our kids to reach for the stars and promise that if they work hard they can be anything they want to be. We spend hours exercising and go on all kinds of diets so that we look young and attractive. Even our meat comes in pristine shrink-wrapped packages with all the icky organs removed, so it doesn't remind us of the animals it came from.
It's tempting to think that reminding people of their mortality – or any limit – is unkind. People want to be encouraged, to have people build up their self-esteem. But actually, recognizing our limitations is far kinder than denying them.
Psalm 103 associates God's compassion for humanity with His remembering that they are dust. Often, we are least compassionate when we forget human limits. It's easy to get impatient when you think someone should be able to do something for you, but they don't. And if you're in a position of authority, expecting people to do more than they're capable of can make their lives miserable. New professors, for example, are infamous for giving unreasonable amounts of work because they don't know what students can handle.
The same goes for my attitude toward myself. Too often, I forget that I am dust. When I think about everything I tried and failed to do this summer, frustration and discouragement threaten to overwhelm me. There are so many good things to do, and one lifetime is far too short to get them done. But I don't have to do everything. I am dust, and creatures of dust need time to rest. And God knows I am dust. He will not be disappointed that I can't do everything. He knows my weakness and has compassion. Paradoxically, God extends compassion and mercy precisely because He knows we are dust. He loves us not because we can do so much but because we need His love so desperately.
Friend, when (not if) people fall short of your expectations, remember that they are dust. And when (not if) you disappoint yourself, remember that you are dust. And rejoice that God also remembers we are dust, forgives our sins and comforts us in our weaknesses.

Grace in the Law
The distinction between law and grace has been part of Christianity practically since it first began. The heart of the gospel is that it is God's grace, and not the Law, that saves us. We can't establish a right relationship with God by keeping His commands because none of us keeps those commands perfectly. So God chose to act, becoming human in the person of Jesus and dying for us so that our sins could be forgiven and we could become children of God.
Some Christians have an unfortunate tendency to associate the Law that cannot save us with the Old Testament and grace with the New Testament. This makes the Old Testament little more than an obsolete relic of an age without grace when people struggled to be obedient enough to save themselves, proof of the problem Christ came to solve. Or it becomes a collection of inspiring stories about heroes who can serve as models for faith and good behavior. Now, the Old Testament does show us humanity's desperate need, and it does give us role models and moral instruction, but it's more than that. It's the oldest record we have of God's grace.
Yes, I said the Old Testament records grace. And to illustrate this I'm going to turn to Exodus20, the chapter that contains the Ten Commandments. This chapter is one of the clearest, most concise statements of God's law. But notice the first thing God says in it: "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery" (Ex 20:2). Before God commands the Israelites to do anything, He points out what He has already done. The Exodus was the defining event of Israel's history. It made Israel a nation, brought liberty to its people and demonstrated dramatically that God had chosen them and was willing and able to overcome anything that opposed them. It was the moment that fulfilled God's promise to Abraham, when He swore to make Abraham's descendants a great nation. And God did all this when Israel was helpless. They had done nothing to deserve God's favor, nothing to merit being rescued. The Exodus was pure grace.
And so, God begins the Law with a reminder of grace. It is because the LORD is their God and has established a unique relationship with them through the Exodus, that they are to worship no other gods, to refrain from making idols, to respect God's name and so on. Even the laws relating to relationships with other people reflect the fact that these are people made in God's image, so the way they relate to each other reveals their attitude toward God.
The Law is rooted and grounded in grace. Even at the beginning, when God first revealed it to Israel, He began by pointing out the grace they had already received. And so it is with us. The New Testament has much to say about how we ought to live, and the moral laws within the Old Testament are still binding on Christians (though ceremonial laws and stipulations about Israel's government are not). If we have truly received God's grace, we must obey God's law, and if we appreciate God's grace we will want to. But we must never let law become prior to grace. As with Israel, so with us: God saves first, and obedience is a response to that.

How Not to Defend a Castle
When I was 10, my father taught me how to attack a castle. Dad was teaching at a university in Germany for four months. My whole family went with him, and we spent much of the time traveling around Europe and exploring historical sites.
Shortly after we arrived, my parents, my 7-year-old brother and I visited a castle in the nearby town of Wurzburg. It was a hot day in early September. To get to the castle, we had to climb a hill turning back and forth along switchbacks through a vineyard. My brother and I were getting hot and uncomfortable, so my mom said to my dad, "We need to do something to distract the kids."
My dad called us over and said, "Let's pretend we're Vikings, and we're attacking this castle. We have to walk up this hill wearing armor and carrying metal weapons. And you see those little holes in the wall? People are standing behind those holes shooting at us."
And so he continued. When we finally made it up the hill, he pointed out bastions jutting out from the wall on either side of the gate so that archers or gunmen could attack us from three sides. He showed us the draw bridge, the portcullis, and the murder holes in the ceiling through which the castle's defenders would drop rocks and boiling oil on our heads. There were two walls with gatehouses whose corridors turned to make it difficult to push cannons through. After looking at the defenses for a while, I asked my dad, "Why are we attacking this castle, again?" It seemed like a poor life choice.
But during the Thirty Years War, that castle did fall. The story of its fall is a textbook example of how not to defend a castle.
The young lieutenant in charge of Wurzburg Castle heard that the army of Gustavus Adolphus, the king of Sweden, was coming to attack his castle. The normal procedure at this point would be to stock up on supplies, hide in the fortress and wait for your enemy to get close enough to shoot them through those arrow slits I saw. But this young lieutenant had a better idea: why not send a line of men with guns outside the gate? They could shoot one volley at the incoming army and then retreat inside the gate and pull up the drawbridge.
Unfortunately for him, the attacking army arrived quicker than expected. The defending troops panicked and fled before they had a chance to shoot. They ran inside the gate and slammed it shut, but not before the other army was on the drawbridge. So, they couldn't pull the drawbridge up, which meant that the moat was useless.
The lieutenant was disappointed, but he was not ready to give up. There was still a second wall with a gatehouse. So, the defenders wheeled a cannon out between the gatehouses. They planned to fire it at the attackers when they broke through the gate, and then wheel the cannon in through the second gate while the attackers were stunned. What could go wrong?
But the Lieutenant hadn't counted on the attackers' secret weapon. They had a group of crazy Scottish engineers who approached their general and said something to the effect of, "Ooh! Can we blow up the gate? Pretty please?" The general agreed, so the engineers put together a bomb called a petard and hung it on the gate.
The defenders stood around the cannon waiting to hear the sound of a battering ram. Then the gate exploded. The defenders panicked and fled through the second gate, leaving the loaded cannon behind them.
The attackers entered the courtyard between the gates and said, "Hey, cool! It's a loaded cannon!" Then they turned it around and used it to blast open the second gate.
Thus, Wurzburg Castle fell.
Why am I telling this story? First, because it's funny. Second, because of a tendency I see in my own life to make a similar mistake.
Several psalms compare God to a fortress, a place of defense to whom people can go for help. Martin Luther's great hymn "A Mighty Fortress is our God" was based on Psalm 46. It was also written in Germany, possibly in a castle similar to the one in Wurzburg. Psalm 18:2 says, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
The young Lieutenant's big mistake was failing to trust his fortress. Instead of relying on the built-in defenses that so impressed me when I was 10, he relied on his own strength and planning. He sent his men outside the fortress's protection, foolishly thinking that their strength could defend the castle better than the castle could defend them.
But how often do I do the same? When anxiety presses in on me, when something goes wrong in my life, or the lives of my friends, my country, or the world, I tend to ask, "What can I do to fix this?" And sometimes, the answer is, "nothing." But instead of accepting my helplessness and trusting in God, I try to find my own ways of making things work out. Or I panic and abandon the things I can do, leaving a loaded cannon for my enemies to use.
Defending a castle does require effort, and God graciously chooses to use us to make a difference. But we cannot rely on our own power. We must take refuge in our Fortress, trusting Him to protect us.

Versatile, classically trained Jenny Ledel is half of one of Dallas' most powerful theater-making duos. Husband Alex Organ, our Best Actor pick, is artistic director at Second Thought Theatre. Ledel is a company member at Kitchen Dog, where she was a comic delight in Lee Trull's zany Wilde/Earnest. She played a neurotic wife in creepy Belleville at Second Thought. Opposite her hubby's Iago, she was riveting as Emilia in Othello. Why does she act? "Every day I read something in the news that ignites my sense of outrage," Ledel says. "Acting allows me to proclaim it on high more eloquently than I could ever do on my own." Offstage, Ledel voices anime and is a certified notary public. We certify that she's a notable actor.
Every Thursday night, the rooftop deck of two-floor Red Light Lounge comes alive with music from The Guild, a group of DJs who have played at Burning Man. The real show, however, is the crowd of regulars who show up in wild-ass wigs, feathers, leather, sequins, tutus, body paint and other outrageous disco costumery. How much time should you put into your couture for this club? They enforce a "no effort, no entry" door policy. Adorn yourself accordingly.
If you're going to give yourself a name like Velvet Elvis, you better be tacky in your execution. And if there's anything that Velvet Elvis does well, it's bad taste. It's everything that a hole-in-the-wall dive located in a strip mall should be: dark, grungy and full of bad art, with no beers on tap (bottles and cans only) and drinks that will knock you off your feet. Like any self-respecting dive, Velvet Elvis is the place to get away from other people, but if you want to hate yourself a little more, there's always karaoke.

Here's the short-but-simple online biography of The Naked Lens: "I figured the world already had enough wedding photographers," he writes. "Most of my best friends are hookers, strippers or burners." The Naked Lens is photographer Mark Kaplan, a former naval air crewman and lifeguard who now works as a freelance shooter. Kaplan can be found photographing parties and events far off the beaten path, definitely not the dressy society wingdings the shiny sheets cover. His pix celebrate the tattooed, pierced, pink-haired and scantily clad. Burlesque shows are a favorite. Kaplan likes his subjects to have some skin in the game.Deep Ellum, 214-444-FOTO, nakedlens.org
In March, award-winning journalist Janet St. James announced she was leaving her job of 19 years at ABC affiliate WFAA and moving to public relations. The next month came worse news: St. James had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The news of her diagnosis and subsequent double mastectomy came from St. James herself in videos posted on Facebook. "I am fierce and strong. But I have breast cancer," she said. She has continued posting updates through chemotherapy treatment (now over). After all those health stories for Channel 8, including exclusives on last year's Ebola patients at Presby, St. James may be doing her best work reporting on her own medical crisis and recovery. (Follow her on FB or on Twitter @janetstjames.)
Dallas Comedy House isn't where you go to see a big-name headliner, but that's what makes it good. Head to the recently relocated Deep Ellum institution if you want to catch Dallas' best up-and-coming stand-up comedians (who might one day become big names) trying out new material and honing their acts. You can take an improv class here, too, and it's the site of the annual Dallas Comedy Festival, which serves as a showcase for hot comics on the way up in the biz.

The price of the futures on the American stock index S&P500 has broken through the inclined resistance line and level of 2060 and then continued to rise. In the near future, quotes will reach the level of 2100, and then can continue the upward trend to historic highs around 2135. To overcome them will be needed a substantial boost. In case of renewal of negative dynamics quotations will be reduced to 2060 and 2020. We expect the growth of price in the medium term.
Nearest resistance levels: 2100, 2120, 2135, 2150, 2200
Nearest support levels: 2060, 2020, 2000, 1950, 1910, 1886, 1850, 1780
The price of the futures on the German stock index DAX30 after correction has returned to the important level of 11000 and was able to break through it. The strong upward movement with a gap indicates the likelihood of continuation of the upward price movement to target levels at 11400 and 12000, but the gap can be closed in the near future. Our medium-term outlook remains negative and we recommend to open long positions with a stop below 10700.
Nearest resistance levels: 11200, 11400, 11800, 12000, 12400
Nearest support levels: 11000, 10800, 10700, 10400, 10000, 9600, 9400, 9000, 8500
The price of the futures on the Japanese stock index Nikkei225 continued growth inside the rising channel and approached the psychologically important mark of 20000. Breaking of these levels will be the basis for further growth of quotations to the target levels at 20400 and 20650. The fall in prices is limited by the lower boundary of the channel after breaking through which the price can drop to the strong support level at 19200. We maintain our medium-term negative outlook and recommend holding short positions.
Nearest resistance levels: 20000, 20400, 20650, 21000, 21500
Nearest support levels: 19200, 18500, 18000, 17500, 17000, 16500, 16000, 15200

Draft Code Of Practice Consultation For Cloud Service Delivery
Cloud Industry Froum (CIF)
: 03 August, 2010
(Company News)
The Cloud Industry Forum has taken the first important steps in establishing a code of practice for the delivery of
cloud computing
services with the completion of a public consultation which indicates wide support for such a move both within the industry and the user base
Cloud Industry Forum (CIF), established to promote trust, security and transparency within the sector, has completed the public consultation process on its draft Code of Practice.
Over 200 organisations went through the process of reviewing the draft Code, which aims to eventually standardise and certify enterprises offering
Cloud Computing
services. The respondents came from across a broad range of industry sectors including service providers, software vendors, IT consultancies, industry bodies and analysts over a sustained two month period.
The Cloud Industry Forum has been working on the development of the draft Code since October 2009 and it asked for end users, providers and other stakeholders to participate in the consultation process by downloading the draft CoP and providing feedback direct to CIF.
Key findings from the consultation process:
* The overwhelming majority (89%) stated that a Code of Practice as proposed by CIF was of benefit to both the industry and the end user alike,
* When asked what specific activity will make
Cloud Computing
a long term success for UK businesses 20.5% of the sample stated that it had to demonstrate robust security and privacy for data stored online,
* A further 17.9% stated that demonstrable financial benefits for users were needed, while 15.5% stated they felt that clear accountability of service providers for breeches to SLAs was critical,
* 60% of the sample believed that having a dedicated body driving best commercial practice for the industry such as CIF, was of benefit to both the industry and the market in general.
Andy Burton, Chairman of CIF and CEO of Fasthosts says: "Interest in CIF has been growing rapidly since we announced its formation and since that time the founding members have been working hard to develop a detailed Code of Practice. What was critical in the development of the Code was the process of public consultation. That has taken over two months and encompassed detailed questioning on a range of issues pertaining to governance, transparency, capability and accountability,"
"We firmly believe that the market needs a credible and certifiable Code of Practice that provides transparency of Cloud services such that consumers can have clarity and confidence in their choice of provider."
CIF member, Mark Cresswell, President, Scalable, commented: "It was absolutely essential that all major stakeholders in the cloud ecosystem see the clear benefits in the proposed Code. It also had to include end-users as well as providers and the large number of smaller organisations offering customisable packages of services between the two. At the end of the day this was about building trust in the Code and given the extraordinary lengths the CIF went to promote and disseminate it, we firmly believe that we have reached a satisfactory outcome based on broad consent."
John Lovelock, Chief Executive at FAST IiS concluded: "The consensus from the Code of Practice consultation exercise is that a major hurdle for increased adoption of the cloud by businesses is that organisations need clarity around what the service providers do and don't offer. They also need to know what financial and operational substance there is behind these providers and what assurances are in place in regard to security, confidentiality and service levels? Put simply - organisations seeking to use these services need a straightforward form of certification or 'Code of Practice' for potential suppliers that will accurately define the services offered and standards of operation and security. We see the launch of such a code of conduct driving up standards so that the industry and the customers both benefit."

Victoria Fyodorova
Yearly Forecast for 2017
Victoria Fyodorova is a female celebrity.
She was born on Friday January 18th 1946, in Moscow, Russia,.
For Victoria Fyodorova, 2017 is a year to carefully protect and nurture her plans. Victoria will be like a mother watching over her children, conscious of every threat, real or imagined.
Fyodorova needs tact and cooperation to keep herself moving forward. There will likely be confrontations with others, requiring a subtle and gentle approach. She will have to stay focused on her goals, yet use intelligent persuasion. Being forceful may work against Victoria while compromises will work in her favor.
Victoria Fyodorova will be unusually sensitive and may wonder at times what happened to the drive and momentum she felt last year. This year requires something else from Victoria now - a delicate sense of balance and a willingness to go around obstacles, without losing sight of her goal.
She may experience some emotional depressions and frustrations. The year is marked by struggle, but there are many opportunities to advance her plans. This is a year of slow growth, requiring patience.
Fyodorova has to be discriminating in her associations and secretive about her plans. She must not talk too much about her ideas; be a bit secretive, and guard herself and her ideas. Victoria Fyodorova is somewhat vulnerable this year.
This is a good year to improve herself through reading and research. Victoria's growing awareness of the less visible and less obvious aspects of life will make her much stronger and better prepared for the future.
Victoria Fyodorova must be wise in all her relationships and associations this year. She is far more capable of establishing close, even life long relationships this year. Because sensitivity and openness are heightened, many people find their 'soul mate' in a two year.
May is the pivotal month in 2017. Victoria is extremely intuitive and sensitive. She is also self-reflecting and better able to influence her peers and situation through spiritual awareness. July 2017 brings Fyodorova a culmination of plans and a distinct step forward. August 2017 sees things become more concrete and brings a new beginning. September 2017 is emotional, requiring adjustments, tact, and inner resolve. In general, 2017 is a year of growth and advancement, but through gentle means and indirect use of Victoria Fyodorova's personal power.
Let's take a look now at Victoria's monthly forecast for July 2017.
You and Victoria
About Victoria's Personal Year Cycle
In numerology, each year of Victoria's life is part of an evolving pattern that can be described as a nine-year cycle or epicycle. These cycles begin at Victoria Fyodorova's birth and progress, one by one, through nine steps that complete an epicycle, and then begin again.

Shocking Celebrity Breakups [PHOTOS]
20 celebrity breakups we're STILL not totally over.
20 celebrity breakups we're STILL not totally over.
Kristen Stewart feels the same about her lack of a Golden Globes nomination as we do when we're forced to sit through more than five minutes of any of her movies: Full of disdain and really upset at the time we just wasted.
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not. It's never okay.
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' dominated the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, winning five trophies, including the night's most coveted prize, Best Movie.
'Eclipse' stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also took home prizes, in the categories of Best Male Performance and Best Female Performance, respectively, marking their third-consecutive win each.

Samsung in high gear for Galaxy S6 launch
Samsung seems to be pulling out all the stops for the US launch of the Galaxy S6 phone. The company has loaded planes with Galaxy S6 phones in order to meet demand, and the early buzz about the Galaxy S6 seems quite positive.
Christina Warren reports for Mashable:
Although Samsung isn't revealing preorder numbers for its new Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge devices, it's safe to say that demand is high. High enough, at least, for Samsung to charter several Boeing 747 planes packed with Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge devices from China headed for its partners in the United States.
The necessity of the phone-filled planes bodes well for the phone's success. Early reviews for the handsets, including Mashable's, have praised Samsung's approach with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Eschewing the plastic feel that made the Galaxy S5 feel cheap, the new Galaxy S6 is sleek eye candy with a great camera. (According to Mashable product analyst Ray Wong, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge absolutely wipe the floor with the beautiful, if flawed, HTC One M9.)
Dieter Bohn at The Verge has a full review of the Samsung Galaxy S6 phone:
The Galaxy S6 is what happens when Samsung doesn't try to copy Apple's phones, but instead finally tries to copy Apple's product philosophy. The first thing to know about the S6 is that it doesn't feel much like other Samsung phones. Instead of a plastic or faux-leather back, it's glass on the front and the back with metal around the rim. We've seen other phones do this, but none have done it so well. The Galaxy S6 looks great and feels even better.
The edges are subtly textured from flat to curved in all the right spots. The seams between the glass and the metal are nigh-microscopic, and the whole thing just feels fantastic. It weighs just a hair more than an iPhone 6, and it's slightly bigger as well. But I actually find it easier to hold and to reach the far corners because the glass is less likely to slip than the iPhone's metal finish. It glides into a pocket and stays in my hand.
...this is probably the closest any Android phone has ever come to the "just shoot" mentality I love about the iPhone. Especially with the real time HDR, I found myself trusting the Galaxy S6 to simply get it right instead of diving into the expert settings. I don't know if I've ever just trusted an Android phone to get it right and been rewarded for it, but the S6 has been doing just that, consistently.
The review by The Verge spawned an interesting thread on the Android subreddit:
Theriverramones: "So far, it's the only phone that makes me want to ditch my OnePlus One. To be able to even convince The Verge of it's qualities is really a statement from Samsung. After HTC's failure, it's up to LG and Motorola to show us an equally good phone."
SabreGuy2121: "Normally I feel insanely clever for my prepaid service and my lots-for-the-money Moto G. But the Galaxy S6 makes me wish I was still on the on-contract, two year upgrade treadmill. I haven't had a Samsung phone since my Galaxy S Captivate and that phone had me swearing off Samsung forever. This phone would bring me back, if I was able to buy it on contract. Sadly its off-contract price puts it out of reach."
Sleepinlight: "I feel like I just read a completely different review than everyone else in this thread. This is the most iPhone-like Android phone ever created, and the whole review basically praises all the design elements that are most like the iPhone.
If Samsung had accomplished something wholly different, and forged its own design direction and identity, then impressing the people in the Apple camp would be kind of cool, I guess. But just turning your Android phone into an iPhone as much as you possibly can -- it's not really surprising that the iPhone fans love it."
Munkyxtc: "All the 'premium ' devices all have similar designs and use the same quality materials. Honestly I can do without the glass back, it's just another part of the phone to break but to just imply this is an iPhone running Android is a bit of a stretch too."
RogueJournalEntry: "Have an all glass encased phone that still looks identical to last year's model from the front, a mediocre battery, two missing features that are traditionally VERY important around these parts (removable battery and expandable storage), and you suddenly have the phone of the century on r/android."

Dr. Mit Philips, MD, MPH, Health Policy Analyst at Médecins Sans Frontières
There are now nearly 12 million people receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV, and yet millions of people living with the disease still do not have access to treatment. While important strides have been made in efforts to expand access to and quality of HIV treatment in resource-limited settings, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) witnesses first-hand the countries – including but not limited to those with conflict – where people have not experienced the benefits of this global health revolution.
In West and Central Africa, only one-fifth of people living with HIV/AIDS have access to treatment. According to official statistics from 2012, there is a 79% treatment gap in this region. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the most optimistic estimates indicate that less than 15% of the 420,000 people who are eligible for antiretroviral treatment today have access. Similarly, only 13% in Chad, 15% in Nigeria, 23% in Guinea and 23% of people in Cameroon have access to life-saving medicines. Many of these countries have relatively low rates of HIV prevalence, but more than half of people facing the ARV treatment gap in sub-Saharan Africa live in West and Central Africa.
In Kinshasa, DRC, late initiation of treatment is quite common; in MSF's Kinshasa clinic, around 80% of patients present with severe or advanced stage of HIV/AIDS. For many of them, it's simply too late: a quarter of people do not survive, and 39% of those deaths occur within the first 48 hours. People are literally dying on our doorstep.
A lack of free HIV testing, adherence challenges, barriers linked to inequitable or inaccessible healthcare systems, outdated protocols, disruptions in medical supplies and stigmatisation all contribute to low ART coverage. Low prevalence contexts often suffer from low prioritisation by government and international actors. Pressure from patient associations is often weak or in the early, fragile stages.
These neglected areas are a missed opportunity in tackling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. MSF is urging actors in the global HIV community – including UNAIDS – to urgently develop and implement a catch-up plan that addresses the structural, financial, and programmatic barriers to effective HIV treatment outcomes in these low prevalence contexts.
We welcome the effort underway to promote a viral suppression target of 90% among people on ART, which rightly puts the emphasis on treatment access and quality patient-level outcomes. In addition, UNAIDS should promote specific annual 'challenge' targets in order to double the rate of treatment initiation over the next three years in these low-coverage countries.
Just more of the same will not bring the necessary change in these contexts. All actors should urgently implement strategies that actively promote ART initiation and adherence, including scaling upfree HIV testing, decentralising and simplifying treatment provision, task-shifting, assuring free provision of HIV care, and ensuring a reliable supply of antiretroviral medicines and tests. Particular attention should be paid to identifying, testing and treating infants and children living with HIV.
MSF and others have proved that people can start HIV treatment earlier and get their treatment through community-based platforms and networks, which takes the burden off overwhelmed health facilities and improves people's adherence. Unfortunately, delays and a reluctance to implement these strategies are most apparent in countries where people need help most urgently. Governments and international actors need to step up and ensure all those who need it have the opportunity to access effective treatment and benefit from the HIV revolution that elsewhere has made the difference between life and death for millions.

Maximizing the appropriate use of generic prescription drugs is, without question, the quickest and easiest way to reduce overall drug benefit costs. But much of those savings are forfeited if the PBM middleman is allowed to keep too much.
Some generic drugs are one-fifth of the price of a comparable brand name drug. In these cases, when patients switch to the lower-cost generic, PBMs may pocket a large share of that 80 percent savings, rather than passing it through to the plan and patient. The PBM may retain half of those savings without disclosing them, while boasting to the plan sponsor and patient how much money it saved them, when their savings could be much greater.
This practice is common in both the retail and mail pharmacy settings.

It's easy to get caught up in the latest cocktails trends, be it a return to tiki-style drinks or garnishes inspired by what's growing in the garden. But wanting to taste what's trendy doesn't mean we can't also respect the classics. When we're craving an impeccable Old Fashioned or a perfect Negroni, we head to Crudo, where mixologist Micah Olson and his crew of talented drink makers is just as good with old-school cocktails as they are at shaking up creative concoctions. You can count on anyone behind the bar to make anything from a Vieux Carré to a French 75, and during the bar's happy hour, you can even score many of these classic drinks for just $7. Never had a Mai Tai you didn't hate? Let Crudo give it a try. We bet you'll finally understand why some cocktails stand the test of time.

As they say, everything old is new again. So whether you're talking about modern takes on classic cocktails or drinks that incorporate the latest boozy trends, Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour in downtown Phoenix delivers. Brought to the historic Luhrs Building by expert barman Ross Simon, this upscale spot brings big-city mixology to the Valley with a 24-page Book o' Cocktails and geeky gadgetry, including a nano filtration system that produces bottle-quality water and CO2 wands that let bartenders carbonate any drink they want. This year, Simon led the charge on bringing frozen and blended drinks to the Valley, a trend that's already taken off in other big cities. And the second iteration of the bar's cocktail menu, which debuted this spring, includes fresh creations such as the L.I.T. Up, a take on Long Island iced tea made with "a medley of premium spirits" in addition to Averna, port, and lemon bitters. For simpler tastes, there's also the Czech Please, which features trendy Bacherovka liqueur with muddled lime and simple syrup.
Readers Choice: Bitter & Twisted
More than 230 whiskeys. That's pretty much the heads and the tails of why the Gladly is one of the best spots for whiskey drinkers in the Valley. The restaurant's list covers everything from Scotch and Irish whiskeys to All-American bourbon and other homegrown offerings — it even has a handful of Japanese selections for those who want to explore the newest kids on the international whiskey block. Of course, the whiskey cocktails also are above par — in particular, the Gladly Manhattan, one of our favorites in town. Featuring Russell's Reserve Bourbon, it gains depth from tobacco bitters and Guinness maple syrup. Smoky and sweet and garnished with a toasted orange peel, it's a perfect update to the whiskey drinker's standby drink.
As the barrel-aging of cocktails continues to become more popular, Citizen Public House maintains the tradition that it was one of the first in the Valley to adopt — and what did it do recently? Started from nearly scratch with a few new offerings, namely the Fernet-Chu Picchu, a blend of Lillet Rouge, Pêche De Vigne, and Pisco Portón — a spirit that in Peru is forbidden by law to be aged but is liberated and confined to oak barrels by the Citizen team. The result is a dark, slightly fruity and intense drink seasoned to caramel vanilla perfection.
"Snooze" might be in the name, but this Denver-based brunch spot is anything but boring. From the retro-futuristic design to the seasonal pancakes and eggs Benedicts, Snooze makes the most important meal of the day one of the easiest to enjoy. The fact that it offers a nearly full bar and menu of morning cocktails also helps, and when it comes to Bloody Marys, the restaurant pulls out all the stops. There's a classic Bloody Mary — called the Straight Up or Spicy — but also a list of more creative takes on your hangover's best friend. We like the Gazpacho, made with cucumber and pepper and garlic-infused vodka, and the Boss Hog, a seriously upgraded Bloody that features bacon-infused bourbon with Snooze's house Bloody mix.

A new twist to the ongoing trial of the embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki may emerge in the days ahead as his loyalists at the weekend said they would soon release videos of personalities that benefitted from the controversial $2.1billion arms deal.
They said the release of the video is necessary to help properly situate facts regarding the deal stressing that some prominent Nigerians who collected huge sums from the arms money were now publicly denying doing so and even working surreptitiously for the continued incarceration of Dasuki.
Dasuki is currently being prosecuted for presiding over the sharing of $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of weapons to fight insurgency. The money was allegedly shared among key political actors in the run up to the 2015 presidential election. Some notable politicians are being tried in courts for allegedly benefitting from the scam.
However, some loyalists of the embattled ex-NSA, miffed by what they called open backstabbing of their boss vowed that they would make public the video containing the identities of all the people that benefitted from arms money.
The loyalists who spoke in confidence submitted that they were shocked to watch some key beneficiaries of the huge sums openly denying Dasuki and working hard for his continued incarceration.
They blamed the non-release of Dasuki despite the bail granted him by three different courts on the secret activities of some unnamed individuals, who they said were now pretending to be angels after receiving huge amounts from the ex-NSA.
This report is yet to be independently verified by Tori news but we will keep our readers abreast as soon as a confirmation is made.

Aylee's tropes. Credit goes to TVTropes.
- The Condidant - To Mary Stuart.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold - She's blonde and very kind and sweet.
- Lady-In-Waiting - To Mary Stuart.
- Nice Girl - The purest example of one on the show — Aylee is loving, caring, yet very morally steadfast.
- Only Sane Employee - The only one of Mary's ladies who seems to be really looking out for her interests or who has any real sense.
- Reverse Mole - She and Mary set up a plot that allowed Catherine to think she was blackmailing her into informing on Mary. Instead they were going to use this to pass false information to the Queen. Unfortunately this plotline went nowhere due to her death.
- Sacrificial Lamb - Killed by Clarissa in order to get Mary to flee the castle.
- Spoiled Sweet - Her family's very wealthy, but she's still a very kind girl who loves her friends.
- Sticky Fingers - Aylee is a kleptomaniac, and Catherine holds this over her head in order to spy on Mary. Subverted, this was intentional on her and Mary's part so Aylee could pass false information to her.
- You Can't Go Home Again - Nostradamus tells her this, resulting in fear and paranoia on her end.

Ben Affleck once had sex with this former B+ list mostly movie actress while she was married to an A list mostly movie actor. Probably why the two actors can't stand each other.
30 Comments on "Blind Item #5"
Aw, rats.
Pitt/Paltrow never married….read the blind again:)
I agree with the RWP guess.
@Versace buckles: that miggt have been back in the day. These days Sean Penn has a hair piece and is obssesd with bumping his body with steroids.I'm not saying he's vain like Clooney style, but he also jumped in the train "I don't want to get older' with a middle life crisis cheating on his wife with 20 something hoes.
yes goop cheated on pitt with Affleck and broke brad's heart, not Anniston. maybe Jennifer espisito b coop.
Sean Penn isn't traditionally handsome but his appeal is a combo of being very masculine and being very complicated. I think actresses in showbiz get sick of vain douches who cry if you mess with their hair or face. Sean Penn is understandably a guy you go to for a hot minute and then leave before shit gets Madonna-tied-to-a-chair-batshit crazy.
*If* Pitt hates Affleck it might have more to do with Goop than Rachel.
As for Penn's appeal, talent is a powerful aphrodisiac.
He did work with Bruce Willis on Armageddon and he is a douche judging by his interviews, so maybe Demi Moore? (Don't let Derek read this xD) This was 1998, and they were still together…no idea if there were hate rumors between B&B at the time.
@ steampunk jazz whoa! what picture??? tell us everything!!!
I totally see Robin Wright on this one. Ben and Robin worked together in State of Play in 2007, right before the Penn's first separation and divorce papers, coincidence? I don't think so. Besides Ben and Robin share the same charity causes: Ecomom and Congo. Lainey says that both Penn and Wright slept around before the divorce.
@Fingerbinger maybe because after House of cards' Golden Globe winer leading role she's now A- ? Idk. What's sure is she will probably win the Emmy this year.
@Ray Nicolet what do you mean by well adjusted former child actor?
M brown- I so dont get the appeal sexually of affleck. He has no upper lip and large chin. Comes off like high school jock, you know, thinks he so great. Hard to believe jenn a wld snack on that tool when she had brad at home. Hmm.
FingerBinger Enty is VERY inconsistent – don't rely on the list!
And I thought Sean Penn is supposed to be A+ list.
I thought Robin Wright was B+. This says former B+.
Affleck with Jennifer Aniston when she was married with Brad Pitt?
Who didn't have sex with Affleck in Hollywood?
According to the blinds,except Angelina Jolie ( soon a blind about them),he had sex with every woman in Hollywood and even with his wife
I can't stand Sean Penn. He takes himself too seriously and now thinks he's this big Serious Actor. He didn't deserve his first Oscar for … I forget the name of the movie, Mystic River maybe? … but I cringe every time I think of him chewing the scenery and screaming "Is that my daughter? Is that MY DAUGHTER?"
The only thing wrong with Ben Foster is that he's a well adjusted former child actor.
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin
Supposedly Pitt can't stand Ben. Jen A fits. Maybe Ben can only remember one name?
@ nurysp, maybe he was cold when I saw the pic but he didn't look hung to me…looked acorn, if you know what I mean.. :-\
Prior to marrying Penn, Wright dated Charlie Sheen and Jason Patric. Both have had problems with how they treat women. She has a definite type and it makes me wonder about Ben Foster.
sean penn must have great dick
all these chicks go crazy over him and he is just too sleazy
*could never understand (I swear English is my first language)
@Steampunk, I would have thought Charlize to be smarter than that. :/ I hate it when women jump onto the "I'll fix him!" train.
@msgirl, 😀 Next Saturday!
@ Seven, he probably pulls the ", misunderstood and tormented lost boy" act which we all know, takes only the love of a good woman to turn …
Its Harlequin 101!
Seven I just noticed you have Cossima as your AV!!!
Robin's a good guess, altho now I think of her as TV and movies, but surely there are other options> Not that I've got any…!
Ummm, any married actress between the ages of willing and able?
Word. Spicoli got sleazy. I never understand how he scored the Princess Bride. She was so beautiful back in the day (still is). That woman-beating ashtray must have something going on somewhere. Run, Charlize, run!
Well, can anyone stand Sean Penn? I mean, other than Charlize Theron…
Robin Wright/Penn

Three may be a crowd
The glamour threesome Friday brings together Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and young Brit Luke Donald. It's no secret that Garcia, at times, rubs Woods the wrong way. The cocky Spaniard certainly didn't score points with the man who holds eight more majors than he does when he ran down a list of golfers he thought had the shots necessary on a links course. He named Seve Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, Colin Montgomerie, Justin Rose and Ernie Els. And Tiger, obviously, he was asked. "Yeah, yeah, definitely," Garcia said. Then he added, "I wouldn't rate him as the top one on my list on these kind of courses, but he can definitely play." Your shot, Tiger.
James Bond's ghost roams these grounds. Ian Fleming, the 007 author, was a member here until he died in 1964. In Goldfinger, his seventh Bond book, 007 played a match at Royal St. George's. Roughs are forever — here.
Bunkers are huge here. No. 4 boasts one of the biggest bunkers on the planet. You can almost lose a car in it. The bunker measures almost 40 feet long, and it comes more into play with the hole lengthened by 27 yards. In all, it measures 497 yards, and now plays to a par-5.
Weather at 5 and 6 and 7 and ...
The most important person not wearing spikes here is meteorologist Mike McClellan. He issues weather updates every three hours. The unsettling thing is, they are needed. Thursday, it rained. The wind blew — up to 25 mph. And the sun shined. Look for more of the same this weekend: Conditions that humble even the best golfers. Oh, yes, Mike is available for interviews, too.
Moon craters
Well, that's where many golfers think when they arrive at Royal St. George's for the first time. Kenny Perry looked around at the course cut out of the sand and stone and high reeds of this southeastern port and gasped, "I thought I was on the moon. I felt like I was on another planet." No, it's not Augusta, but Royal St. George's is a major test.
Water below
The most intimidating hole? Check out No. 14, a revamped 550-yard par-5. The big feature is the so-called Suez Canal, a stream that crosses the fairway at 332 yards. The green has been moved back 43 yards and raised with two pot bunkers 70 yards out protecting it.
TV faces a few bumps
On TV, the British Open looks different than golf in the USA. No wonder. Working the Open, ABC producer Jack Graham says, "is like playing golf with one hand tied behind your back."
That's because ABC relies on the BBC's world TV feed. It supplements that with its own cameras for close-ups, because overseas telecasters, generally, use fewer close-ups than in the USA.
Graham says the big difference from the USA is the British Open courses aren't as flat: "On TV, they can look like the surface of the moon. And with so many humps and bumps, the ball can disappear."
