The golf shop shall determine if there are violations by members in turning in their scores.
GOLF COURSE ETIQUETTE Persons using the Golf Course should do their part to make a round of golf a pleasant experience for everyone at the Club. Here are some suggestions: 1. Do not waste time. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need, and go directly to your ball. Always be near your ball to play promptly when it is your turn. If a player is 16
delayed in making his shot, it would be courteous for such player to indicate to another player to play which should not be deemed playing out of turn. 2. The time required to "hole out" on and around the green is a chief cause of slow play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be ready to putt when it is your turn. 3.
Be sociable, but reserve your extended conversations for the 19th hole.
4. When approaching a green, park your golf cart on the cart path on the best direct line to the next tee, in order to save significant time. Never leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to return for it while the following players wait for you. When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the 5. next tee without delay. Record the scoring for the completed hole while the others in your group are playing from the next tee. 6. If you are not holding your place on the course (see General Golf Rules), allow the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost ball. 7. The course advisors will report slow play and all breaches of golf etiquette to the golf shop. Appropriate action will be taken by the golf professional staff.
GENERAL TENNIS RULES 1. The Rules of Tennis of the USTA shall apply at all times, except when in conflict with the local rules or with any of the rules herein. 2. Court reservations are on a first come, first served basis. No standing reservations will be accepted. 3.

At the end of their playing period, players must promptly relinquish their court to the next players. Once a member is off the court, the member may sign up for the next available court time. 5. Singles may each play on a court for 75 minutes and doubles may play on a court for an hour and a half, except for certain times designated by the management. 6.

Just arrived in Monti area, I went with a friend to 19 Al thinking the cute façade would represent a nice culinary experience in Rome. How wrong! We waited almost 45min (!) for a plate of passable meat (for me) and almost raw veal that my friend who was not able to finish. The side dish (artichoke…and I mean one piece) was outrageously charged 6,00Euro. The comic part arrived when we had to wait for the owner to pay the bill as he was outside…in another restaurant…guess we will do the same next time…we will pick another one!

I am currently OPEN for review requests/pitches.
What Your Requests HAVE TO include:
- Genre, length, blurb, as well as the obvious title and author. (Goodreads link would be helpful.)
- Please mention any sensitive topics that will be in your book, such as: rape, mental illnesses, suicide, gore, etc. (Content/Trigger warnings.)
- LGBT+, POC, disability, or neurodiversity representation within the book or as the author. Please mention specifically who/what/how whatever is represented when pitching your book. You can also mention if the book is Own Voices or not, but do not feel pressured to come out unwillingly.
Other details to consider:
I'll be willing to take .pdf, .mobi, word docs, or physical copies. Physical copies will be accepted on a case by case basis, preferably from author's I'm familiar with or from publishers. If the book is on NetGalley, I also review through there.
I am always looking to help promote novels outside of the Big 5 and am actively searching for marginalized self-published/indie authors to promote. If you fall under this category, please don't hesitate to email me!
Short Stories, Novellas, etc.
Yes, I do review short stories and novellas. If you are inquiring for one of these, please mention what it is. Otherwise, all of the other requirements and info still apply.
I prefer:
- Fantasy (Epic/High/Low)
- Science-Fiction (Dystopia/Space Opera/etc.)
- Mystery
- Horror/Thriller
I will consider these genres if they focus on marginalized characters and/or authors:
- Romance
- Paranormal
- Historical
- Contemporary
** I personally do not care if the novel is Childrens/Middle Grade/Young Adult/New Adult/Adult. I just care if it has decent characters/writing/plot.
Giveaways, Interviews, guest posts, cover reveals?
If approached, yes. Prizes for giveaways must be provided, and Guest Posts must have a set topic before being agreed upon. I would also be honored to do a cover reveal-while I would prefer it to be exclusive, I don't mind either way.
If I drop/DNF your book?
If I was more than 50% through, I will still review it, and have the review published. If I stopped before the 50% mark, then I will email an apology, with a short review of what I didn't enjoy.
After it is confirmed that I will be reviewing your book, that means you realize:
- I am not guaranteed to like your book, as I can be quite picky. My reviews are 100% honest. Note what I'm looking for through any of my linked social media, namely Twitter or Goodreads.
- I may or may not be harsh sometimes. If I get offended for one reason or another, I will take up the entire review about it, or DNF it.
- If I am not interested, I will respond politely denying the request. Just because it follows all of my rules, does not mean I will accept it.
- While the review is published immediately on Goodreads after finishing, it might take some time for it to be published on this blog. If it is an ARC (advanced reader copy) then I will try to have it published at least two weeks before the release date. That, however, depends on when I get it related to the release date. If it's not an ARC, then it will be scheduled as soon as possible.
Any requests can be sent to: email@example.com
Here is my rating system for reference. Be aware that I don't give out 5 stars lightly, and I usually have to be blown away to give a book that rating. I also sometimes reward half stars. What the book is shown as on Goodreads, however, depends on my overall feelings. A book with a 4.5 rating could get 4 stars or 5 stars on Goodreads.
★★★★★ (5 stars) – I loved this book! Probably one of my new favorites, I might even buy my own copy of this book and gush about it to all of my friends and through my social media.
★★★★✰ (4 stars) – I enjoyed this book. Amazing, recommended, but something probably got on my nerves or I noticed something that I wasn't a big fan of.
★★★✰✰ (3 stars) – I liked this book. It was okay, but there was something that bothered me all throughout this novel.
★★✰✰✰ (2 stars) – I did not enjoy this book. Something major really annoyed me, and I may or may not have found the book offensive.
★✰✰✰✰ (1 star) – I dislike this book. May or may not have DNF'd this book, probably found something offensive, stereotypical, and trope-filled.

Italian deals attracted a lot of attention in Europe last week, as investors looked over the newly marketing 500 million ($637.5 million) tap issue for a railway project, scooped up a 193.3 million future flow transaction for a pharmaceutical factoring company, and weighed the potential fallout from a still struggling SCIP 2.
Italy's Infrastrutture SpA offered its 500 million tap in a single tranche of 30-year notes, which came with price talk at 21 basis points over swaps. The ratings were Aa2 from Moody's Investors Service, AA-' from Standard & Poor's and AA' from Fitch Ratings.

Two New IRON MAN 2 TV Spots - More Black Widow Footage and Unveiling of Mark V
Here are two new TV spots for Marvel Studios' Jon Favreau-directed film Iron Man 2. Both have some very familiar footage but offer some short but sweet new footage that will get your geek blood pumping. The first features new footage of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, showing off her high-flying high-kicking antics. The second features a brief flying sequence from the point-of-view of one of Justin Hammer's (Sam Rockwell) drones, as he chases down Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). In the second, there is also a shot of Tony Stark showing off the sleeker Mark V to a mostly military audience, but it doesn't appear to be another Stark Expo. It's a bad ass shot and I've posted it above.
Also featured in the trailers? AC/DC's "Thunderstruck"!!!! This song hasn't been used this frequently in a film's ad campaign since 1999's Varsity Blues! I think this film has less whip cream though...

Calls for Coleman to be sacked
Wales manager Chris Coleman has defended himself, after calls for him to lose his job. Wales lost 3-0 at home to Serbia on Tuesday night, and are now at the bottom of their World Cup qualifying group.
Wales manager Chris Coleman has defended himself, after calls for him to lose his job. Wales lost 3-0 at home to Serbia on Tuesday night, and are now at the bottom of their World Cup qualifying group.
Chris Coleman has insisted he is still the right man to lead Wales after coming under fire from fans during their 3-0 defeat to Serbia last night.
Wales are now at the bottom of Group A, with hopes of reaching the World Cup in Brazil next summer now long extinguished.
Chants of "Coleman out" could be heard at the Cardiff City Stadium, and Wales were booed off at the final whistle.
The manager still expects to sign a two-year contract extension he has agreed with the Football Association of Wales though.
"I have every intention of leading this side into the next qualification campaign," Coleman said. "We have two wins out of eight, which is not good but I am still excited about the group we could have available. The next campaign will be a better one."
"The contract has been agreed, although I have not signed it, but if I thought I could not affect this group of players I would not waste my country's time. We can do something special, with a fresh run at it. The next two or four years will be our best chance to do something."
"I am the same man as I was last week when the contract was agreed. I know football is short-term and that is how it has gone, but we did not perform tonight. I know sections of the crowd weren't happy but I don't blame them."
Not a particularly pleasant night ahead, with wet and windy conditions for all. The showers will ease by the early hours.
Abraham's five goals in 10 Swansea games has led to speculation he'll be recalled by Chelsea.
Welsh Pride of Britain nominee Reverend Wynne Roberts combines being a hospital chaplain with a career as an Elvis Tribute Act.

Flinging Open Shutters For Fragile Young Lives
By JONATHAN RABINOVITZ
Published: December 25, 1990
Four-year-old Alberto S. and 5-year-old Sasha P. have not learned to talk, and it is doubtful that they ever will.
They do not know that today is Christmas, and their clean, well-kept apartments have no decorations. But the two children have no expectations of stuffed stockings and presents, and during visits to their homes last week, they smiled and gurgled contentedly, unaware of visitors.
The two children, both born with brain defects and now considered severely retarded, cannot walk, have limited arm movement and are blind. Sasha is also deaf. They are still trying to master the mechanics of chewing and swallowing food. Although some might consider caring for such children a nightmare, Sasha's parents and Alberto's foster parents prefer to call it a blessing.
During an interview on Saturday, Gladys O., Alberto's foster mother, began laughing and shouting "Did you see it, did you see it?" when the boy struggled unsuccessfully to sit up by himself. She cradled the 27-pound youngster in her arm and bragged, like parents everywhere, that all the neighbors loved her boy. "They say he's the prettiest child in the Bronx," she boasted. 'I Knew That I Loved Her'
A few days earlier, in an interview at Sasha's home, her mother, Elizabeth, watched the child -- known as the "little princess" -- sway back and forth in a high chair, occasionally slumping forward. Sasha smiled when her 18-month-old sister stroked her face and pulled off her earrings. (The smile disappeared when her sister began pulling her braid.)
"When I first learned about Sasha's brain, I cried and cried," the mother said. "I was sick for months. I couldn't get out of bed, and I used to tell myself that I didn't want to wake up.
"Then I realized if I didn't get well, no one would take care of her. I knew that I loved her and that I didn't want that to happen."
For some parents, children like Sasha and Alberto are a burden that cannot be shouldered. Decades ago, they probably would have been relegated to nursing homes or kept in the house. But increasingly, these children are being integrated into everyday life, and families -- natural and foster -- are finding satisfaction in keeping such children in the home, aided by special services. No Miracle Treatment
For Sasha and Alberto, money from The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund has helped keep them from being trapped in hospitals or inside their own homes.
Sasha was born in Guyana, but three years ago relatives chipped in to fly Sasha and her parents to New York so she could receive better medical care.
The doctors in her native country did not know what was wrong with Sasha: Although she looked normal, she lay still, not even lifting her head. There was no miracle treatment. Tests showed that Sasha's brain was three-fourths of the normal size.
Sasha's mother, Elizabeth, who had worked as a schoolteacher before emigrating, said that it was clear that life in the United States would be much better for her daughter. And after their medical visa expired, they decided to stay here illegally.
"In Guyana, people would laugh at her," she said. "They would think it's a curse and would shut her away. It's not like here, where it's common to see people who are retarded." Much Better Than Guyana
Now, the family lives in constant fear of being deported. The father works seven days a week as a clerk, and rarely sees his wife and two children. At night, all four share a bedroom. And because of legal and medical costs, they could not afford Christmas decorations.
But for Sasha, it is much better than Guyana. This year, she went to a special private school for physical therapy, and in January, she is to start going to a daily public school for the severely disabled. The Catholic Charities, Diocese of Brooklyn, has helped her enroll in the public school, and using money from the Neediest Cases Fund, they have ordered a wheelchair and other equipment that Sasha needs for school.
Alberto was born in the Bronx, where his mother, a 15-year-old Mexican immigrant, was told that he could not survive for more than a few years, workers from the Children's Aid Society said. The parents abandoned him in a hospital.
Until Gladys O. came along, the society's Medical Foster Boarding Home Program could not find anyone to take him in. She recalled that the first time she saw him, he was crying all alone in a crib. "His hair was sticking up, and he was skinny like a little bird," she said. "I knew I had to take him." Bouncing on Her Lap
Children's Aid, which receives money from the Neediest Cases Fund, coached her on how to care for a disabled child, and they helped pay neurologists and other specialists.
On Saturday, she bounced the child on her lap like a puppet and tickled his neck. "Bertito," she would coo, and he would laugh and occasionally answer "Car," one of two words he knows. (The other is "good.")
It is a 24-hour job to care for the boy, who sometimes is rushed to the hospital with seizures, but Gladys says it is a pleasure.
Now, the 51-year-old woman hopes to adopt Alberto. She tells of a recent visit to a hospital, when a doctor took Alberto away for an X-ray. He was crying, so the doctor asked her to come into the room.
"When Bertito heard my voice, he started to laugh," she said. "My friends said I was crazy when I took him, but I think I'd be crazy without him."

On average, planning a wedding can take as much as 400-500 hours of work. And this is where we have to say: there's no shame in asking for a little help. Wedding planners and designers can be lifesavers when it comes to pulling off the biggest party of your life. Not only do they have the experience and know-how, they also have the connections to save their couples time and money when pulling it all together.
Event stylist Jenn Elliott Blake provides an easy rundown of the different types of wedding pros: "The simplest way to think about it is a planner deals with the logistics (when you walk down the aisle, what time the first dance starts), the designer helps you create and execute decor ideas (you show them an inspiration photo and they help you find a way to interpret it and create that vision), and a stylist is someone who will be there on the day to perfect all the decor details for photos (the brides dress in formal photos, the details on the dinner table). Sometimes a planner can also be a designer, sometimes the designer can also be the stylist. Be sure to ask up front when you are considering someone to help you with your day what area they are most comfortable with."
As you decide whether or not you need a wedding planner, designer, or stylist, and what kind of wedding pro you need, ask yourself if you want someone to help you from the beginning through your big day or if you're just looking for an extra hand through the final push. "It's worth meeting with two to three planners. It's also worthwhile to ask your friends or coworkers if they have any recommendations. Consultations with wedding planners are typically complimentary so why not," says Lauren Sozman of Loli Events.
Set up consultations with at least three different planners / designers to find out which one is right for you.
Your wedding planner and / or designer's job is to make your life easier, and your job is to let them handle the details while you focus on the big picture. You'll know you've found the right wedding planner or designer when he or she gets your vision and puts you at ease. If you feel comfortable putting your party in his or her hands and confident that what needs to get done will get done, then you've found the one.
When asked what couples should bring to their first consultation, event stylist and planner Jessica Sloane says, "Nothing. I actually prefer that we start with a clean slate! But of course, I want them to come with their questions, so that I can answer those. And my clients always have a notebook with them to jot stuff down since our work is very collaborative."We'll target narrowing down your choices and signing the paperwork in two weeks time (and we'll remind you again on week 35)
If you plan to get married in a house of worship, the venue and the officiant are usually a package deal. One of the pastors, rabbis, or religious officials associated with your church, temple, or house of worship will officiate, and you'll meet with them to set your ceremony date and time. If you have an idea of who you'd like to marry you, but he or she is not associated with a particular house of worship, reach out to get an idea of his or her availability so that you can make sure it lines up with the dates that your venue is available.
Even if you're already familiar with your officiant, it's a good idea to set up a consultation and run through a few basic questions so that you have a good idea as to what his or her typical wedding ceremony looks like. Depending on the religion or denomination, your officiant might want to meet with the two of you for premarital counseling sessions before the big day, and he or she might have feedback as to how long your ceremony should be, what kinds of readings should be included, and whether you're allowed to write your own vows.
Though it's unlikely that your officiant will request a specific fee, they usually have a suggested donation for their time (especially if attending your wedding will involve travel). It's a good idea to ask about this upfront. Once your officiant is on board, remember to include him or her on the guest list for the reception and as well as the seating chart as a way of showing thanks for having made your marriage legal and binding.
Finally, if you want a friend or family member to officiate your wedding, you'll need to check your state's laws regarding what is needed to legally officiate a wedding. Some states offer programs that allow anyone to be deputized for a short period of time to perform a marriage ceremony, or your friend can look into the requirements to be legally ordained to perform marriages. If you choose to go this route, allow a couple weeks for your friend or family member to go through the deputization or ordination process.
Once you've found the right venue or venues, look over a contract to make sure it includes all of the information below:
- Who: name and contact info (your's and their's)
- What: everything they'll be providing (ceremony location, reception location, rehearsal space and time, tables and chairs, and terms for guests and vendors)
- Where: the location of your events
- When: dates and times of event and length of time venue is available to you
- How much: cost of venue
- Receipt: the deposit paid, the balance due and due dates
- Uh oh: cancellation and overtime policies and emergencies
Additionally, ask for a floor plan of your venue if it's not already included. You'll use that later as you or your wedding planner or designer decide how to make the space work for you. Once you sign the contract, make a copy and file it in a place that will be easily accessible throughout your planning process.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, welcome and thanks for asking your question. My name is*****'m a Certified Auto Technician with 29+ years experience. I will do my best to assist you. please keep in mind that I may need to ask questions of you before I can answer. When you reply please feel free to add as much detailed information as possible pertaining to your concern.
There is no such thing as a throttle unlock relay on an 89 D100.
From what you are describing, you may need an in -tank fuel pump. I know you said you do see fuel from the injectors but that may not be enough fuel as you stated pouring gas down the tbi gets it started but won't stay running.
At this time, I recommend to run a fuel pressure test to see what the fuel pressure is. IF the pressure is less than 13 psi your fuel pump may be faulty and not supplying enough pressure.. If you need help with the fuel pressure test, let me know, I'll be glad to step you through the procedure...
Keep me posted...
Thank you,

An ingenious thief steals Michelangelo's Pieta, worth $30 billion in the farce. The trouble is, he has no buyers and so lets an American gangster have it for $40 and a spaghetti dinner. Meanwhile, the Vatican, not wanting the abduction to become public, sends out a priest to find the thieves and retrieve the statue.

Hi !
I have a Pi Zero W with a pHat Speaker attached. It works great so far.
But as soon as I start pigpiod (pigpio V60) the pHat starts cracking and the current consumption rises from ~100mA to over 500.
Are there any compatibility issues with pHat Speaker and pigpiod?
btw … There is nothing else attached than the pHat.
And I start it with "sudo pigpiod"
I need both of them because I have to driver 7 servos with the Pi …
Hope on any help
Hi @all,
got en email from the pigpiod developer. And he told me that this is an issue with the PCM / PWM hardware.
So if anyone got this problem … The solution is to start pigpiod in this way:
sudo pigpiod -t 0

This little book grows and grows. It is a revised and expanded edition, the third edition in all. The book
first surfaced in 2009.
Little was known about Sinclair Beiles outside of his home country, South Africa. He got a name largely by being around Burroughs, Gysin, Ginsberg and Corso at the 'Beat Hotel' in Paris in the 1950s. There were photos of them all together. Beiles collaborated on the cult book Minutes To Go in 1960. There were conversations about books in the pipeline. Beiles worked at the Olympia Press, famous of course for Maurice Girodias and Junkie and other things.
Beiles never quite established his name in Europe and he struggled in his homeland also. His Ashes of
Experience won prizes but caused few ripples anywhere.
But he had a gift and a band of people did believe in him over the years. Gary Cummiskey for one, Fred de Vries, Carl Weissner, Heathcote Williams. They all befriended Beiles through Europe, Amsterdam, London, Greece, South Africa.
Beiles was hampered by his drug consumption, his personal issues. He was always on the cusp of something. He was a casualty of the literary world, a sometime Syd Barrett figure. A nearly man.
Gary Cummiskey and Eva Kowalska have researched and then some more to strip away the layers of time and fog around Beiles. More understanding, photos, bibliographies, letters. Well done to them.

Even the frustrating moments can be ones to rememberLeave a comment
December 4, 2013 by vlittle528
Monkey Butt Powder, a five year old, a six year old, and a clueless mom and dad. What could go wrong? Ummmm, a LOT actually. See, Anti-Monkey Butt Powder is supposed to go on your…well, your butt. However, it is apparently quite a bit more fun to hold it and squeeze the bottle really hard while the powder goes flying all around you. And that almost-empty bottle? Yeah, well a little powder goes a long way. I walked into the room to find my son looking a lot like Jack Frost from "The Guardians", down to the white legs and frosted hair and white-as-a-ghost face. I then see my sweet daughter looking like she had her first bad experience with hair dye-only she ended up with gray rather than the orange that I got to enjoy. Then I walked into the bathroom. Seriously, it was like walking into a thick fog. There was so much in the air, and a covering over the entire floor, counter, and sink. The biggest mess I have seen since the shampoo-on-the-carpet incident.
Normally, this would send this momma into a yelling fit. And that yelling fit would end with a guilt-ridden mom, two sad children, and a messy bathroom. However, I just ended reading "I may frustrate you, but I'm a Keeper", and I am really trying to be a more patient and understanding mom. Both of the kids started cleaning up on their own, both of them apologized, both of them honestly felt bad and admitted that they were just having so much fun that they didn't realize the mess they were making until it was over. I just sighed, told them that they didn't get to finish their show because they needed to finish cleaning up and gave myself a time-out. Then I walked out of the room and giggled to myself a little bit.
I know some of you are probably reading this and thinking "seriously? This is what is WRONG with kids these days! Punish them!" I tried that route. I tried yelling. It didn't do any of us any good. But what did do my heart good, what did build my son's self-esteem, what did put a positive impression into my daughter, was when my son said "Hey sis, no big deal, we just have to make cleaning up a game and make it fun. That will make it more fun! And we can use the mop to make it extra pretty for mommy!" Yep, this moment was definitely one to remember and laugh about later.
