Hi fellas. New to the forums as well as the sport. Although at this point (4 months in) I am completely and hopelessly addicted. I am at a point where I tape every tee shot of every round i play. Then I go home, watch them all on the computer and try and pick apart what I am doing wrong....then attempt to fix it the next time I play. Things that will allow you to give the best possible feedback.....
I am 38. Big guy....6"2" 260 Lb. Have been very athletic my entire life. Baseball was my main sport (collegiate level) but I played a ton of football and ball golf as well.....some tennis. No injuries with the exception of some scar tissue on my right elbow that restricts the full extension just a tad ( I was a pitcher). I was introduced to the game by a great friend back in "97"....played for a month or so but it never really "stuck". That is, I never got to the point where I NEEDED to improve....I had no intention of competing and only played because my buddy wanted a partner to throw with once in a while. Now, I can't put the disc down. This game has, for me become an obsession. It certainly is going to be a lifelong love for me now so I would really like to improve as much as possible.
I throw primarily RHBH but I do have a somewhat reliable sidearm/flick. The main plastic i throw from the tee is my Blizzard Wraith, MOLS, Star Echo Teebird, Star Sidewinder and once in a while my Champ Valk. Distance off the tee is a pitiful 300 to 350 depending. I can usually throw my sidearm further than my backhand which IMHO is unacceptable.
One of my main problems in the past was strong arming. I am assuming due to my history in baseball I had a tendency to use more of my arm and not use the core/hips/shoulders etc.
My main issues now....as I see them (some of you may see other things more important and please, by all means share with me) are my lack of distance and the fact that I have a horrid tendency to pull about 40 to 50% of my shots to the right. By that I do not mean grip lock or turning the disc over.....I mean the disc will fly straight but about 30 to 40 degrees to the right of where I am aiming/want it to go.
Enough talk....I hope I didn't lose everyone because I rambled before y'all got a chance to help me out a bit and watch the form. ANY and ALL advice/feedback is GREATLY appreciated. My main goal is to improve, to do so I know I must fix the myriad of issues I have with my form. Thanks again in advance!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) With wife Heather close to delivering their first child, Darrell May made sure he had plenty of time to catch his early morning flight to Texas.
May took just 2 hours, 7 minutes to throw his third career complete game as the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 8-2 on Wednesday night.
Ive got the first flight out of KC in the morning, the left-hander said. Im not going to sleep much tonight.
May (2-4) retired 13 of the last 14 batters in his first complete game in almost a year.
Making his night even more remarkable was the fact that he had trouble keeping his concentration entirely on the Indians.
Sometimes it can be hard to separate things, he said.
There were a couple of times when we had some long innings and we were swinging the bat well, and I was sitting there and thinking about it. But as soon as I got back on the mound, I let it go and just focused on whats in front of me.
Raul Ibanez drove in three runs without getting a hit, while Carlos Beltran and Desi Relaford each had three hits and two RBIs for the Royals.
May, who went 16 starts without a victory before winning his previous start, walked two and struck out three.
At the start of the game, I didnt feel good at all, he said. I thought it was going to be a rough one. Then I gained a little confidence and kind of rolled from there.
Ibanez drew a bases-loaded walk in the first, drove in another run with a fielders choice grounder in the fourth and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
I dont think Ive ever done that before, Ibanez said. It just means the guys were getting on base and getting into scoring position ahead of me.
Ibanezs walk and Angel Berroas sacrifice fly gave the Royals a 2-0 lead in the first. They then scored four runs in the second off left-hander Billy Traber (3-5).
Traber went 2 2-3 innings and gave up seven runs on 11 hits and three walks, with three strikeouts.
He had some tough luck, Indians manager Eric Wedge said. They didnt hit the ball hard, but they found holes.

County Awarded 1,000 Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
Oct. 24, 2008
News Highlights
- Fairfax County is one of only six counties nationally to be recognized.
- Nearly 2,000 households have pledged to switch one bulb to a compact fluorescent.
- CFLs to be distributed at county events.
More Information
Fairfax County has been awarded 1,000 compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs from Office Depot for collecting the most pledges in the "large county" category of the 2007 Energy Star Change a Light Campaign.
The county has collected close to 2,000 pledges from residents and employees, who committed to change at least one conventional light bulb to an energy-saving compact fluorescent light (CFL). Over the course of the Change a Light Campaign, nationally almost 10,000 traditional bulbs have been replaced with CFLs, adding up to almost 800,000 kWH of energy saved, a quarter of a million dollars in cost savings and a reduction by more than 4 million pounds of greenhouse gasses.
The CFLs received by Fairfax County are equivalent to a 60-watt conventional bulb, but use only 14 watts. They have approximately 10,000 hours of bulb life, and have a nine-year warranty. The bulbs will be distributed at events throughout Fairfax County.
The challenge was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office Depot and the National Association of Counties.

"Vatican says aliens could exist" as it prepares to organise a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin, according to BBC News 13 May 2008. Gabriel Funes, Director of the Vatican Observatory, suggested that God could have created intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe, and some of these some aliens could even be free from original sin. BBC
Editorial Comment: What's the connection? The Papacy has long accepted evolutionist theory with a few add-ons of god-activity, so we shouldn't be surprised that they go most of the way with the evolutionist philosophy that life arose by naturalistic processes on earth, therefore life could be found anywhere those same conditions occur elsewhere in the universe. Of course the Vatican will have to get a god-bit into the act as the maker/evolver of aliens. And they will have to show they accept the evolutionist concept that physical death is a natural part of the "creation" and a biological necessity for evolution to occur. In doing so they will make themselves very acceptable to the world as the leading political body they excel at being - but in so doing they will again undermine Christianity, the Biblical account and further alienate themselves from the Creator Christ in their lustful desire to be a respected religion based on human wisdom and not on God's Revealed Word. Those who accept God created as described in Genesis, know that physical life can only exist where God put it, and that physical death is not a biological necessity, but a moral penalty for deliberately disobeying the Creator (see Genesis 1-3 and Romans 1-5). The only living things mentioned in the Bible are those on earth. The Bible is also adamant that Adam's sin has affected the whole creation - not just earth (see Romans 5 - 8). It would be absolutely unjust in the eyes of a Just and Righteous Creator, if physical beings on other worlds, who were physically unrelated to the first man Adam, were subjected to the moral penalty of physical death for a sin they had no part of. It would also make a mockery of the fact that Jesus, who is God the Creator, became a man and died on earth for Adam and his descendants, so that whoever would accept Christ's death as payment for their sin, would receive eternal life, and a new body, and a new heavens and earth, which the Creator will make, as described in Revelation 21-22. (Ref. astrobiology, science fiction, theistic evolution)

The Makeup Face-Lift
The knife's optional with these did-she-or-didn't-she cosmetics tricks
A woman who flies from Dallas to Manhattan solely to attend a makeup artist's department store appearance either is crazy or believes he has something unique to teach her. But for Napoleon Perdis, the cosmetics expert artist in question, such a pilgrimage isn't surprising. While not opposed to a little nip-tuck, Perdis regularly shows clients ways that powders and creams can fake the effects of surgery—without the expense, recovery time, or chance of a permanently lopsided mouth or wonky eye. A native of Sydney, Australia, Perdis, whose 450-item namesake line is sold at Sephora, at Saks, and on Home Shopping Network, derived his technique from the tricks used to take years off movie stars' complexions in the '40s and '50s. "But old-Hollywood makeup was spackled on, not what today's women want to wear," he says. "I modified those application methods and created lightweight product formulations. Now the results look natural, not heavy and contoured."
So go on, take a stab:
Selecting a foundation with skin-tightening ingredients is a no-brainer, but it's only part of the equation.
1. Fake the effects of liposuction along the jawline with matte bronzer. (If your skin is dark, try a shadow two shades deeper instead.) Starting under the chin, dust powder back along the bone on each side until you reach the earlobe. Then blend down the neck so there's no demarcation. "Concentrate the color a little more under the chin, as that's often where the most loose skin is," Perdis says.
2. Pull up cheeks with universally flattering pink or peach blush, working it from the front of the apples, across the cheekbone, and back to the ear. To give skin a youthful glow, dust some of the same blush up and across your nose, as you would with bronzer.
3. Perdis adds luminizer from cheekbone to temple as a final pick-me-up.
Chin Up

Rhinoplasty is the second most popular form of plastic surgery in the U.S., after breast augmentation.
1. To abbreviate a long nose, Perdis dabs matte stick foundation one to two shades deeper than a client's complexion on her tip.
2. To slim a wide nose, Perdis contours with any taupe powder. "The shade works on 90 percent of people," he says. "It's a wonderful color." Beginning at the inner brow corners, work the shadow along each side of the nose, blending the color up toward the bridge and down near the cheek. "Mottle the powder with your finger so that some of your skin shows through," Perdis says. "This will prevent it from looking stripy."
3. Dotting a luminizer one or two shades lighter than skin down the bridge of a crooked nose can straighten it out.
Slim Shady

The needle-phobic can still emulate the lush pout of Ms. Jolie
1. For a bee-stung effect, Perdis smoothes a cream concealer one shade lighter than the skin around the entire mouth. "The highlight has the effect of bringing out the lips even more, so they appear larger," he says. "Your skin tone becomes the tool giving lips fullness."
2. Concealing and highlighting above the upper lip are usually enough to minimize the appearance of vertical lines. For wrinkles on the lips themselves, Perdis pulls out the Chantecaille Contour Fill pencil: "Apply it before you start on the rest of your mouth so that it has time to set."
3. It seems like a recipe for disaster, but Perdis assures that navy eye pencil (yes, navy) flatters lips. "Feather the pencil just on the outer corners to give a hint of color and a nice, sharp lip edge, which makes the middle part look puffier," he says. Although conventional wisdom holds that lighter colors belong on small lips, "this liner technique beautifies lips of any size," Perdis says. "The shadow effect of the dark pencil doesn't shrink the border; it enlarges the interior." Follow with your usual shade of lip pencil and be sure to blend both into your lipstick. (ELLE testers tried it and couldn't believe how well it worked.)
Bigger is Better

Whether the problem is drooping lids or undereye bags, fix it with a brush.
1. Undereye concealer should be one shade darker than your complexion, no matter what your skin tone, in order to hide puffiness (which a lighter color emphasizes). However, flawless eyes often require more than one camouflager. (For this reason, Perdis created the three-shade Pro Palette concealer.) To cover undereye shadows without undoing your bag-banishing work, "apply a light shade below the swollen area," Perdis says, "but above the orbital bone."
2. Mauve concealer or cream shadow smoothed on the lid from lash line to crease works on nearly every skin tone to "disguise any veiny purpleness," Perdis says. "And it does a better job at accentuating the eye's vertical lift than a neutral tone."
3. Shade the crease with a warm color, like rose. Then "dot reflective shadow three shades lighter than skin under the arch of the brow," he says. "This adds height."
4. When lining the upper lid, Perdis tells clients to keep their eye closed, so that the line ends on an upward motion at the outer corner, thus maintaining the illusion of lift.

HOUSTON - Local 2 Investigates was there moments after officers come across thousands of dollars worth of stolen goods at a home, including an official police uniform.
Police were executing a warrant Monday morning in the Northwood Manor subdivision when they came across something interesting; in fact more than $100,000 worth of stolen goods. Some weird stuff too. Police say two animals were bolted down at a local Walmart and stolen, and that is just the beginning.
Police made quite a discovery, besides guns at a home on Rosemary at Cheeves, they found more than a 1,000 high-dollar stolen tools.
"We suspect that he's going out early in the morning, some of it is getting sold off, some of it is getting stored here at the house," said Detective Greg Shelton with the Houston Police Department.
Among the booty is what looks like an official police uniform.. Detectives theorize, but don't yet know for sure, the uniform could have been part of a cover.
Emmanuel Hurd, 37, has a lengthy arrest record and is facing for now an unrelated aggravated assault charge according to police.
It's when officers arrived to arrest him that they discovered the stuff, including a piece of surveying equipment. Police think over several years these tools had been picked from construction sites, stores, and car break-ins.
"Well over $100,000; I would suspect approaching 200,000," said Det. Shelton.
The suspect is already charged with aggravated assault and as soon as police are done cataloging this stuff he's going to have several more charges.

A GUN shell was found in the garden of a beach-side caravan.
A member of the public at Freshwater Holiday Park at Burton Bradstock reported the item at around 1.39pm on Thursday.
Details were taken and advice was given to keep well clear.
As the item was above the High Water mark, responsibility for its subsequent co-ordination and safe disposal was passed to Dorset Police.
A spokesperson for Dorset Police confirmed they had received a report at around 1.45pm.
She said: "The immediate area was evacuated and a cordon was put in place.
"We got in contact with the EOD and the shell appeared to be an old, rusty, large unspent shell.
"The EOD arrived at about 4pm. They picked up the item and took it away."
Elsewhere, the skipper of a 36ft yacht reported his vessel was held fast by a rope around the propeller.
The yacht was near to Anvil Point whilst on a delivery passage from Weymouth to Portsmouth with two people on board.
The skipper made a Pan Pan broadcast at around 2.08pm.
As no response to a Pan Pan Relay broadcast was received and the yacht in the interim had become free from the sea bed but still entangled, Swanage RNLI Lifeboat was requested to launch.
The lifeboat towed the yacht to a safe mooring off Swanage.
Earlier that afternoon, the owner of an 18ft Shetland motor-cruiser called Gordie Shore reported that his vessel had broken down in Weymouth Bay.
Local vessel X Dream responded to a call for assistance at around 1.44pm and towed the motor-cruiser and its two occupants to safety in Portland Marina.
Meanwhile, two occupants of a 34ft yacht called Moonbeat called to report they had suffered a steering failure on a passage to Lymington.
Sea Start 6 arrived and towed the yacht to its destination at around 11.42am.
At the beginning of the day, reports emerged of an empty dinghy drifting near to West Bay Harbour.
The crew of the fishing vessel Trace Sea reported the sighting on VHF at around 10.49am.
Extensive enquiries, including broadcasts, were made to establish where the craft had come from or whether any persons were at risk but without satisfactory outcome.
The fishing vessel towed the dinghy into West Bay, where they were met by West Bay Coastguard Rescue Officers.

Cano, bullpen steer Yankees to win and first place
Second baseman collects 1,500th hit before rain delay, goes deep
DENVER -- CC Sabathia was sailing along and had retired 11 straight Rockies batters through the fourth inning when the rain came Thursday.
Forced to go to his bullpen early because of a one-hour, 59-minute rain delay, Yankees manager Joe Girardi was able to call on Mariano Rivera in the ninth to nail down a 3-1 win over the Rockies in the rubber game of their low-scoring series, but not before a succession of huge efforts from Adam Warren, who won his first Major League decision, Boone Logan, Preston Claiborne and David Robertson to finish the seventh and pitch the eighth, the inning he typically works.
"Just a great job starting with Adam Warren," Girardi said. "Everyone contributing, some guys give us multiple outs, Boonie gave us one big out. They made some big pitches when they had to when [the Rockies] had a chance to tie the game, so I give them a lot of credit."
The win, combined with losses Thursday night by the Orioles and Red Sox, moved the Yankees into a three-way tie atop the AL East. New York's 20-13 record gives it a .606 winning percentage, slightly better than the .600 sported by Baltimore and Boston, who are each 21-14.
With so many frontline players on the disabled list, run production has become very iffy for the Yankees. Once again, their pitching sustained them as they finished a series at Coors Field, where the Yankees outscored the Rockies, 6-5. The Yankees went 3-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the series. By no means great, but it was good enough, considering the Rockies went 1-for-12, including five hitless at-bats in such situations Thursday.
"We just did a lot of little things right," Girardi said. "When we had opportunities to score, we did. There weren't a lot of runs scored in Colorado. I can't imagine people would have predicted that here. Three days here, and we won two close games."
The Yankees are 13-4 in games decided by one or two runs. Vernon Wells singled home a run in the first. Chris Stewart hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth. And Robinson Cano, whose infield single in the third was the 1,500th hit of his career, homered in the fifth off Adam Ottavino, the only hit he allowed in three innings. It was Cano's s ninth homer and the first earned run Ottavino allowed in eight games, dating back to April 9.
Cano had gone 0-for-8 in the first two games in the series and said he "was chasing everything and swinging at everything." He spent time in the batting cage with hitting coach Kevin Long and worked to "let the ball get deeper and hit my pitch."
Cano said reaching 1,500 hits "means a lot. It's one of the dreams come true. When you get to the big leagues, you want to be successful."
Rivera capped the bullpen's five scoreless innings by retiring three of four hitters in the ninth for his 13th save in as many chances. That is his second-longest streak of consecutive saves to begin a season. He converted his first 28 save opportunities in 2008.
Getting to Rivera, however, involved an all-hands-on-deck scenario in the bullpen. Warren worked 1 2/3 innings, retiring the first five batters he faced before issuing successive walks and giving way to Logan. He retired Carlos Gonzalez on a grounder to end the sixth.
Claiborne gave up a leadoff single in the seventh but got Nolan Arenado to bounce back to him and started a double play. After Claiborne yielded successive singles to Jordan Pacheco and Josh Rutledge, Robertston came on to face pinch-hitter Todd Helton, who struck out swinging on a curveball.
"I knew I had to make some quality pitches," Robertson said. "Helton's a good hitter. I knew if I made a mistake, he was likely to put it in the seats. He hit a home run [Wednesday]. So I just tried to stay away from him, not give him anything he could put a good swing on."
Robertson also ended the eighth with a big strikeout, getting Gonzalez with a runner on second base.
Sabathia breezed through four innings on 51 pitches and allowed one hit, a single by Troy Tulowitzki in the first that paved the way for Gonzalez's sacrifice fly. Sabathia then posted three 1-2-3 innings before the delay.
Asked if he was disappointed at not being able to continue pitching, Sabathia said, "I'm just disappointed I didn't get any more at-bats."
He struck out to end the second and the fourth and said, "I'm sure my son is going to be all over me."
Rockies starter Jeff Francis gave up two runs in four innings, which he completed with 64 pitches, including 39 strikes. The Yankees scored a run in the first on a broken-bat, two-out single by Wells that brought home Jayson Nix, who had walked.
Chris Nelson led off the fourth with a double, took third on Lyle Overbay's grounder to second and scored on Stewart's sacrifice fly.
"I executed some pitches," Francis said. "It's four innings, not really a long time to be able to judge. They did a good job manufacturing the run off the leadoff double in the fourth inning. Broken-bat single scores a run in the first. It's a good team. We expected more out of ourselves. We just have to make sure we do better."

By Kimi McBryde, 2013 Teen Science Scholar
August 5th, 2013
Today, we got up at 6 am and got ready for the first day in the field. Had a small breakfast, and were ready to go at about 6:45. Lauren and Airielle didn't feel well and stayed back in the house today. Clare, Michele, Ari and I got in a 12 person van with the driver, a police officer, and three of the workers (Panchito, Guillermo, and Neri). We had to make a few stops around Magdalena before we hit the road, and then we went into Chocope to pick up Paolo and Nayo. I felt kind of sick this morning, but toughed through it and was fine after we started walking around at the site. So after Chocope, we hit the road. It was about a 45 minute drive through corn fields and sugar cane fields to the part of the desert where we wanted to be. The first site we stopped at was one that Michele had briefly visited about 6 years ago. We were looking for ceramic sherds or any other sign of the Moche people in the area. There were a couple of looters pits around the huaca (pyramid), and very few pieces of pottery. We took some general photos and walked around a little bit. Clare tried to teach Nayo and Paolo how to use the GPS mapping system on the iPad with Ari translating for her, and they got a kick out of that. Since we weren't finding anything at the first site, we piled back in the van and drove on. The roads are horrendous-they are very bumpy and lopsided, not really made for traffic at all. We got to the next site, literally in the middle of sand dunes in the middle of nowhere, and all we could find were Moche sherds. Everywhere. The dunes went on and on, and so did the ceramics. Ari and Michele picked a kind of central point and all of the workers and the four of us walked out from the center in a ray pattern, in an attempt to find the edges of the archaeological area. We wanted to find the edges of the area because Michele and Ari wanted to do a bunch of sampling and digging, and didn't want to do it on an archaeological site for fear of damaging something archaeological, and to make sure that it didn't look like we were looting and get in trouble for that. We all walked away from the center point for a long time, and there was still a lot of ceramics scattered all over the dunes and the desert floor. Eventually, we just had to find points where the amount of ceramic material dwindled because there really was no end to the archaeological site. Clare had downloaded an app on the iPad that allows you to track the shape of something using GPS coordinates and tracking systems. She walked around the edges of the polygon where we had all marked the edge of the archaeological site and labeled the polygon on the google earth map within the app.
Because we all ate breakfast so early, we had a snack/second breakfast break at about 10 am. After this breakfast break, we got the auger (named Oscar), as well as buckets, trowels, and other materials and walked past the archaeological site (which we knew the edges of due to Clare's GPS tracking system) to find some places to make cuts and take samples from. Nayo and Paolo started to use the auger at the top of one of the dunes in an attempt to see how far down the sand went, and they got it through one extension easily enough (one extension=4 feet). Once we added the second extension, there was no end to the sand, so by the time they had hauled the "bucket" at the end of the auger up, all of the sand had drained out of it back into the hole it came from. Michele and Ari called it on that hole, and we moved down to lower ground. At this point, we had the auger going, and the workers started to make a cut in the sand. A cut is basically a cross section of the sand, and whatever else is under it. Michele and Ari marked out a 2x1 meter rectangle (using the Pythagorean theorem to double check the angles and the lengths). The workers started digging on the cut, and Clare and I watched them dig while Michele and Ari wandered off to try and find another place to make a cut. Throughout the entire day we had been marking our locations with waypoints in the GPS systems, both the iPad and Michele's GPS, and we did that again with the cut and the place that Ari and Michele ended up. At one point, the driver moved the van up the road and parked it in front of a farming type shack with big piles of corncobs in front of it and down the road there were huge piles of fresh orange corn lying in the sun.
In the cut overall, they got down about 1.5 meters through 3-4 levels of material. Clare and I labeled bags for samples and wrote out sample lab cards for the samples that we would be taking. After taking pictures of the cut with the white board-with Michele's initials, the name Río Seco, the GPS coordinates, the date, and a few other things, the image scale, and an arrow that pointed at North, we were almost ready to take samples for the lab. Ari drew out the cut on millimeter graph paper, using the workers to help her measure the different depths and widths to create an accurate diagram. When she was done, we were about to start sampling when the sides of the cut started to tumble in and completely filled in the lower portion of the cut. Clare, Ari, and I jumped in the pit and quickly pulled sediment samples from the wall. In doing so, we used a different metal spoon to take each sample. We scrambled out of the pit and packed up to go back to the van and head home.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/6/2013 (1515 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: This is in response to Had a Sad Father's Day -- the man whose wife will not have more children because the two of them gave a baby up as teenagers. I was adopted at birth. This couple should not feel selfish if they have more kids! They felt that they were too young to start a family and that the child would have a better life in a home where they were ready for children. I have absolutely no hard feelings for my biological parents who were young when they had me.
I didn't live a perfect life, but I had adoptive parents who loved me. I understand why my biological parents did what they did. They went their separate ways and had more children with other people. I only grew up with one older brother, also adopted. When I found out I had siblings out there, I was ecstatic. I felt I was given another opportunity to grow bonds with my five half-siblings.
From the adoptee side, everyone is different. I was always curious and had an open mind, but my brother has no interest in looking for his biological parents. So, do not get your hopes up too high, but also don't think the worst. -- Adopted and Reunited, Winnipeg
Dear Reunited: Thanks for taking the time to write to this couple, as it will help to hear advice from your personal adoption/bio-parent experience. I still think the lady involved still needs to get counselling help (with her husband present sometimes) to work out the buried grief and guilt that keeps her from having a child now that she is older. On the other hand, she may not want children for a variety of other reasons and be using this as her reason for not having them.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have been dating a woman who has a hard burping problem. Her burps sound hard and dry and painful almost, so I haven't given her any hassle over it. I must say her unselfconscious free burping is now starting to turn me off a little. It's like she's becoming one of the guys, in my mind. I notice she burps after she drinks milk and she guzzles milk like a baby calf. I tried to point this out and she attacked one of my less-than-charming foibles. What should I do? -- Less Than Perfect, Winnipeg
Dear Less: Have you told her this is starting to turn you off sexually though you don't want it to, because you like her so much? If she gets nasty over this new information and lobs some very personal grenades back at you, the whole thing may blow up. Or, she may react quietly. Once you've said your piece, let it become a "whatever will be, will be" situation. Just wait it out. She may see a doctor about reacting to something (probably lactose). Or your desire will simply dwindle, and you'll end up buddies... or less.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: As I am writing to you, I am looking at a young woman next to me at work out of the corner of my eye. She is trying to excite me by doing things with her legs and high-heeled shoes. It is working. I can't get any work done in this office any more, because of her. She just loves to torture me, and distract me from my work. I'm a cautious man, very careful and responsible, but she is making me crazy on purpose. I don't know if I should send her an email or write her a note, or what? But, I can't get my work done properly anymore. -- Feeling Helpless, Winnipeg
Dear Helpless: Young immature women sometimes like to test their powers on shy men. Once you shine a light on it, they often fizzle. They're only strong when they feel you don't have the guts to speak out. Say something that can't be repeated to make you look bad, like: "I know what you're trying to do, but the game is over. I need to work and so do you."

why back to bt3?
you could have easily resolved all your issues with a bit of reading and possibly asking questions here.
For the resolution, it's just editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and making sure you're using the proper driver. For the wireless, it's basically loading the proper module. If I had Acer Aspire One, I'd be happy to help, but I'm pretty sure there are others who have the same hardware and were able to run bt4 on it.

Jim Thorpe
Jim Thorpe was perhaps the United States's greatest athlete of the twentieth century. An American Indian, he is usually considered to be Sac and Fox, although he also had Potawatomi, Menomini, and Kickapoo, as well as Irish and French, ancestry. Thorpe was born a twin near Prague, Indian Territory, on May 28, 1888 (some controversy exists concerning his birth year, as his estate cites 1887), to Hiram and Charlotte Vieux Thorpe. They named one twin Charles and the other James Francis, known also as Wa-tho-huck, which in the Sac and Fox language means "Bright Path." He indeed followed one of the brightest paths in United States athletic history, excelling in football, baseball, and Olympics competition. He was selected by the Associated Press as the greatest athlete of the first half of the twentieth century.
Thorpe lived his earliest years at his family's rural home near Prague. At age eight he was devastated by the death of his twin. When Wa-tho-huck was an adolescent, his parents enrolled him in the federal government's boarding school system. He attended Sac and Fox Indian Agency School near Tecumseh, Oklahoma, and Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, and in 1903 he entered Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. During this period both of his parents died.
At Carlisle, he would make a name for himself as an athlete. In 1907 the school's famed coach Glenn S. "Pop" Warner recruited him for the track team. Over the next two years Thorpe became one of the school's top track stars, competing against and defeating opponents from some of the top collegiate-level track programs in the United States. In 1908 he also excelled as a halfback for the Carlisle football team. He received good marks in school, but by the summer of 1909 he began to tire of Carlisle and was listed as a "deserter."
During the summers of 1909 and 1910 Thorpe played semiprofessional baseball in North Carolina. He did not know that his actions violated the harsh amateur athletic code of that era, or that so doing would later have major consequences. He returned to Carlisle in 1911 and starred in football victories over Harvard, Brown, and the U.S. Military Academy (Army) over the next two seasons. He was a first-team All-American selection for 1911 and 1912. During the 1912 season he scored twenty-five touchdowns and 198 points and led his team to a record of twelve wins, one loss, and one tie. Many sportswriters have considered that team to be the best of its era.
During the summer of 1912 Thorpe also entered international athletic competition, representing the United States in the fifth modern Olympics, held that year in Stockholm, Sweden. He competed in the high jump and the long jump and won gold medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon. However, following revelations of his semiprofessional baseball career by a Worchester, Massachusetts, newspaper reporter, in January 1913 the Amateur Athletic Union stripped Thorpe of his gold medals and removed his name from the Olympic record books.
Although angered, Thorpe went on to establish himself as an outstanding professional athlete during the next two decades. He played baseball for the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Braves between 1913 and 1919. Although he had a modest .252 lifetime batting average in the major leagues, he hit .327 in sixty games during his last season with Boston. Including his time spent in the minor leagues, he played professional baseball for twenty years.
Thorpe is better known as a football player, however. He played for the Canton Bulldogs during the 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919, and 1920 seasons, leading a team that many recognized as the best in the country. In 1920 he became the first president of the American Professional Football Association, the forerunner of the National Football League (NFL). He also played for teams in Cleveland, Rock Island, and New York before playing his final game with the Chicago Cardinals in 1928. In 1922 Thorpe and Walter Lingo, who purchased the franchise from the NFL, created an all-American Indian professional team called the Oorang Indians.
Toward the end of his athletic career, Thorpe was divorced from Iva Miller, whom he had met at Carlisle and married in 1913. Together, they had had four children. In 1925 he married Freeda Kirkpatrick and produced four more children. After a second divorce, in 1945 he married Patricia Gladys Askew. Thorpe reportedly had an alcohol problem, and he had trouble establishing a career after his playing days ended. He moved to Hollywood in the 1930s and worked as a film extra and in construction. He died practically destitute in Lometa, California, on March 28, 1953.
While his life's tragedies were very real, they often have been somewhat distorted. Films such as the 1951 biographical drama Jim Thorpe: All American present him as a tragic and lonely figure. This portrayal ignores his generous character and the work that he did to inspire American Indians during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
After his death his widow, Patricia, attempted to have his body buried in Oklahoma. Not able to afford a burial monument that she considered properly commemorative, she asked the state to build a memorial site in his honor. However, Gov. Johnston Murray refused to sign a bill authorizing its construction, and Patricia Thorpe searched for a more accommodating community. In 1954 the towns of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, agreed to do so and changed the name of their municipalities to Jim Thorpe. Several of Thorpe's children have since lobbied to have his remains returned to his native state.

Staff at Wiltshire IT company Systemagic are celebrating 15 years in business this month, after being set up by entrepreneur Mike Wood in Bath in 1999.
The business grew steadily, providing business and domestic IT support and website development, before Mr Wood took on junior IT technician James Eades, who lives in Trowbridge.
Mr Eades rose through the company quickly and in 2010 he took over as managing director when Mr Wood retired from the company.
He quickly decided his team should specialise in high quality, proactive IT support.
Systemagic expanded to a satellite office in Trowbridge and in Mr Eades first year at the helm of the company it achieved an 85 per cent growth in net profit.
Mr Eades, 33, said: "This is a special year for us as a team.
"Not only are we all part of a growing business which is increasing turnover year on year but we also offer great customer service which is being recognised by our expanding client base.
"We've just moved our head office to a 17th century country house, Waterhouse, in Monkton Combe, near Bath, so we've a lot to celebrate."
The company's ethos is to provide holistic technical support and Mr Eades said he has built up a team who are understanding, responsive and flexible.
Systemagic also offers a 30-day rolling contract service where customers are not tied in to a contract for long periods, which Mr Eades feels motivates him and his team to perform consistently well.
The company recently won the Micro Employer of the Year title in the Bristol and Bath Apprentice Awards, which recognised its commitment to employing apprentices over the last seven years.

Exhibition: SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey - Clay Art Center
Through June 22, 2013 - Port Chester
Clay Art Center is proud to present "SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey," a solo exhibition that combines art, social justice advocacy, and community arts outreach with New York artist and global citizen, Sana Musasama. The exhibition, which features ceramic sculpture and installation inspired from Musasama's travels around the world, will be on exhibit May 18-June 22, 2013, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 18, from 6-8pm.
In conjunction, the artist will be an artist in residence at Clay Art Center for the duration of the exhibit, and Clay Art Center has initiated a string of community arts outreach events entitled, Inspire, Commit, Act... Admission to Clay Art Center is free.
In her twenties, when she began traveling, Sana Musasama realized that clay existed all over the world. After her education in the public school system in New York, she felt limited, locked in, and undereducated. Traveling became her way of relearning the world and its inhabitants. Her work is informed by history, women's studies, culture, and her journals of global citizenship. "My Journey," an exhibition of large scale sculpture and installation, will speak of those experiences, from the "Maple Tree" series about the abolitionist movement involved with indigenous Americans, African indentured servants, and Dutch colonialists, and "The Unspeakable" series, an inquiry into the nature of violence and healing in women's lives, to her current work, "The UnKnown/UnNamed" series, which focuses on honoring the lives of those lost to war and genocide. Sana has spent the past 5 years working and traveling in Cambodia. It is there that she found herself in the killing fields, walking on fragments of souls that once were.
Sana Musasama's work is grounded in the ceremonies of living. It guards their integrity and memory, and acts as a reliquary of historic events and her personal narratives. In her inquiry into the world, she sought to understand the human landscape. This transformed Sana and her approach to clay. There is no dichotomy between her life and her work, as her extensive traveling has made her relearn seeing. Her mission speaks of a global citizen who walks through the artwork heart first.
Inspire, Commit, Act?: Community Events with Sana Musasama. For the duration of the exhibition, Sana will be an Artist in Residence at Clay Art Center, acting as an advocate for her work in the exhibition and the social justice issues it invokes. While in residence, she will also be working on a new body of work. As part of her residency at CAC, Sana will have the opportunity to work with Latino and African-American youth of Westchester County, NY, especially young women, and will be a visual presence for them, inspiring them to commit and act on the belief that they too could be artists, should they want to be. She will be working with Port Chester's Carver Center's NIA group, a young women's leadership group, mostly made up of Latino and African American individuals, Port Chester High School students in CAC's "Around the World in Clay" community arts outreach program, and teen girls from Westhab shelter of Family Coachman Center, which is the largest homeless shelter in Westchester.
In addition, Sana will lead three public hands-on workshops in June in the gallery (alongside her artwork). For more details on these workshops, visit clayartcenter.org.
About her "Unknown/Unnamed" series, Sana states, "My newest ceramic work was born out of the devastation of the 9/11 attacks and the hundreds of workers and others whose identity was buried under the rubble, the faceless whispers out of concentration camps, the endless mass graves throughout the world. It stems from my global travels to Cambodia, Vietnam and Rwanda - into the homes and hearts of the people I've encountered; these pieces represent their silent voices, which remain unknown and unnamed."
"The earth carries the memories built on the backs of oppressed/unrepresented people and their buried bones throughout the world. At My Lai, Vietnam, I walk on the site of a massacre where the lives of hundreds of women and babies were taken in revenge. I touch the soil. At the Holocaust museum, I look at the hundreds of pairs of eye glasses, shoes, gold-capped teeth, and briefcases, and I wonder who they belonged to. In Rwanda, a young woman tells how she searched for her family at a mass burial site. I have worked in Cambodia with former sex slaves, wondering who enslaved them, and walked the killing fields, with their fragments of what once were human beings."
"Will it ever stop? These new works are meant to slow us down, make us look closely at our world, silence us for the moment. They are created in homage to the Unknown/Unnamed."
Additionally, work from Sana's "Unspeakable" series will be on view. About this challenging and poignant body of work, Sana shares this story: "Twenty-five years ago, while living in Mendeland, Sierra Leone, there was a group of young girls, ages 10-15, who would visit my hut every day. We began our rituals of sisterhood: they combed my hair, tried on my clothing, and applied my makeup. They taught me the formal greetings in Mende, how to sit like a Mende woman, eat with my tongue, and to never allow food to touch my lips. They showed me how to cook on three rocks and wash my clothes in the river, beating on washing stones. They taught me the birth chants, and I learned, too soon, to recognize the death song."
"Suddenly, one morning, there were no young girls in the village. They returned thirteen weeks later, changed. Our ritual of sisterhood was no more. They no longer had the sparkle of wonderment in their eyes; they weren't carefree young girls any longer. They didn't want to have anything to do with me. I could not understand. I know now that they were circumcised (incised)."
"MY JOURNEY" will also feature two large-scale sculptures from Sana's "Maple Tree" series. These sculptures were inspired by the Maple Tree abolitionist movement in the late 18th century in New York and Holland. Dutch colonists, Native Americans, and free indentured African servants joined together in protest against slave labor on sugar cane plantations in the West Indies. They took as their symbol the maple tree - a source of sugar without exploiting slave labor. At once trees and aspects of the human body, these sculptures explore links between trees and human sexuality, between trees and human agency.
Sana Musasama (b. 1957, NYC, lives in Queens, NY) received her BA from City College of New York, NY (1973), her MFA from Alfred (1988), and studied at Mende Pottery, Sierra Leone (1974-75). Feeling undereducated by her public school education, Musasama began traveling as a way to recover identity and cultural place. Clay was a geographic catalyst that brought her first to West Africa, venturing later to Japan, China, and South America. She has continued her quest, expanding her interests to tribal adornment practices in various indigenous cultures. She is challenged by the concerns surrounding the safety of women, specifically the rituals involving rites of passage, female chastity, and the "purification" of the female body. She teaches at Hunter College, NYC; the 92 Street Y, NYC; and through CASES, a program which offers an alternative to incarceration.
Clay Art Center is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit ceramic art organization offering exhibitions, clay classes for adults and children, studio spaces for clay artists and outreach programs in the community. It is located in the heart of Port Chester at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573.

An Epic Adventure across Northern California
Riding along on a Pashnit Motorcycle Tour
I'm beginning to understand why we ride motorcycles. But you have to spend several days on one to figure it all out.
For the July 4th holiday, had the exciting privilege of showing several riders around the wilds of Northern California. Through roads often exalted, lauded over, and drooled upon by that pashnit guy. Ah, that Northern California, a land of mountainous terrain criss-crossed with an endless choice of dreamy motorcycle roads, thrilling vistas, and typically you get to do it all by yourself. People? As in other people? Not many of those around these parts.

The last album they released was called Loveless. That was a great album. The band had been teasing the new record for four months but there was never any release date and then last night they just sprung it on the world. The group formed in Dublin back in 1983.

DETROIT - Governor Snyder is already responding to Detroit Mayor Dave Bing's counter-proposal to the governor's "consent agreement" proposed last week.
Detroit is deep in debt and each day is inching toward a possible municipal bankruptcy. Some accounting results have the city running out of liquid cash by the end of May.
What the governor is proposing
Governor Snyder is proposing a 9 member financial review team that would take spending out of the hands of city council and place the responsibility with the review team to make sure the city doesn't spend more than it has and to get city finances back in order.
That's sparked controversy with elected officials who argue that the elected representatives should have the power to fix the problem the city got itself into in the first place, not committee members from the outside.
WATCH: What is behind the consent deal and counter-proposal
What the mayor is proposing
Mayor Bing wants spending and decision making to remain in his hands as well as the city council.
Speaking with Local 4 News Morning, Governor Snyder said he's anxious to see the Mayor's ideas, but the idea of financial oversight is to help Detroit, not hurt it.
Also, Mayor Bing will ask the state for more than $100 million dollars to get the city on solid financial ground. Governor Snyder says he's directing the state treasury department to look into the request.
Full statement from Detroit mayor:
"Sunday evening my team sent a draft of a Financial Stability Agreement to Detroit City Council members as a counter-proposal to Governor Snyder's draft consent agreement. It was prepared with the input of both my staff and Detroit City Council staff.
The purpose of this Financial Stability Agreement is to give the City the appropriate tools to address the City's financial crisis and preserve the rights of Detroiters to be governed by the City's elected officials.
As I've said repeatedly, I have no problem accepting help from the state, and this agreement includes an advisory board that provides the state a vehicle to monitor the city's progress. This draft agreement also includes a mechanism to establish a budget and limit spending, while providing reporting obligations to the board.
But this counter-proposal purposefully shifts from the language of a consent agreement by recognizing the current legal vulnerabilities of Public Act 4. It is designed to provide a reliable roadmap for the City and State to collaborate in resolving the city's short-term cash flow challenges and long-term structural changes.
My executive staff plans to meet with Council members over the next couple of days to get their feedback to complete a final draft this week. We believe this is an appropriate compromise to the Governor's proposed consent agreement, and hope we to reach a consensus with the Council, the Governor and the Treasurer."
