Instruction to Deliver: Tony Blair, Public Services and the Challenge of Achieving Targets
Politico's, Jan 1, 2007 - Government productivity - 418 pages
In Tony Blair's first term, 1997-2001, much was promised in reform of social services, but relatively little was achieved - except perhaps in Education, where Michael Barber was head of the Standards and Effectiveness Unit. For 2001-5, the commitment was to real change in domestic policy, and Sir Michael Barber was appointed head of the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit (PMDU), to concentrate on specific targets, initially 17, such as casualty waiting time, school tests, league tables, street crime, transport etc. Much was achieved, despite great tension, pressures, chaos and challenges, as a new working philosophy was created to combine otherwise 'warring parties' - the PM, the Chancellor, the Cabinet, the PM'S special team, and senior civil servants. Michael Barber reveals a fascinating insider and personal account of how the PMDU achieved so much, and provides a revealing picture of the major players, especially Tony Blair and Gordon Brown

The month of October has been a busy one for us here at the Modern's Teen/Artist Project! Acclaimed artist Heyd Fontenot has been working with our students to develop and hone their figure-drawing skills in conjunction with Lucian Freud: Portraits.
To kick things off, students were asked to bring in fifteen images: five of the most important works from their portfolios, five of their favorite works from other artists, and five non-art images they find inspirational. At our first official meeting on September 30th, we viewed the images together as a group to gain a sense of what each student finds important to his/her art-making process. For the remainder of class that day, we broke into groups to begin working on our figure-drawing skills. In the lab, the students exercised their skills as both artists and sitters. Heyd explained that sitters can be just as engaged with the art-making process as the artist is through their poses and patience, or even by sharing parts of their personality with the artist.
On October 14th, the students explored more figure-drawing techniques. The students took photographs in preparation for the next TAP meeting. Each student played the role of model and of photographer, both taking and giving direction for how to pose. Heyd discussed the work of Marina Abramović—most specifically her performance piece The Artist is Present, 2010 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York—as an example of "sitting" as an active performance.
For class on October 21st, the students began by drawing self-portraits from their own memory and then while looking in a mirror. Afterward, they picked out two of the photographs taken during the last class to use as drawing references in the lab. Sometimes, during the course of creating a portrait, the sitter is unavailable. In these cases, having photographs to work from can be of great help to an artist! Finishing up for the day, the students watched part of the HBO documentary Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present and heard commentary from the curator of the MOMA exhibition as well as the perspectives of some audience members.

Murphy's had 4 or more assists in six different games this season (6 against Indy, 5 on Utah, and 4 against the Bucks, Hornets, Mavericks, and Lakers).
Biedrins has only done that once (in his monster game against the Spurs). I mean, come on, the kid played 35 minutes against the Bucks and left the game without ONE dime.
"Much better", you say...?migya wrote:As for the outside shooting - There are enough guys on the team that can do that, Murphy needs to get his arse inside and rebound like he used to!!!!
I want Murphy's rebounding numbers back, too. But I stand by my previous claim: they'll return once the phantom mask is off. Until then, its unfair to judge Murphy.
I agree with you here; but I do like the Biedrins outlet pass.

UCSF's Resource Allocation Program (RAP) Seeks Applications for Spring Cycle
UCSF's Resource Allocation Program (RAP), which incorporates a single online application for 29 different grant mechanisms, is now requesting applications for the Spring 2013 cycle.
The electronic submission deadline is Monday, Feb. 25, at 2 p.m.
Gretchen Kiser, PhD
"The funding rate for applications utilizing the RAP process is unheard of in today's funding environment – about 50 percent," explains Gretchen Kiser, PhD, the director of the recently created Research Development Office, in which RAP resides. With such a potential for research funding, "all UCSF researchers should take a look at the Spring cycle opportunities."
Through a collaborative effort among UCSF intramural funding agencies, RAP facilitates the dissemination, submission, review and award of intramural research funding opportunities on campus. The program promotes research in the following disciplines: Basic Sciences, Clinical and Translational Sciences, Population Sciences.
A total of nearly $2.5 million was distributed to UCSF researchers during the Fall 2012 cycle.
New For the Spring 2013 Cycle
- The Cancer Center-Cancer Center Support Grant (CC-CCSG) joins RAP this cycle as a new funder sponsoring two existing grant mechanisms, the Pilot for Junior Investigators and the Pilot for Established Investigators. The CC-CCSG provides seed funding to encourage innovative cancer-related research in a wide range of research areas, including basic science, clinical and translational science, health policy and social science, and population sciences. Priority is given to translational science and to areas that are generally under-represented, such as population sciences. This program supports novel cancer research initiatives that are not currently funded by research grants and that may ultimately lead to new ways of preventing, detecting or treating cancer. Emphasis is placed on innovative projects, and applicants must be Cancer Center Members or Associate Members.
- The Pilot for Established Investigators in Basic and Clinical/Translational Sciences grant mechanism is now sponsored by three different funding agencies, CTSI-SOS, REAC and the Academic Senate.
- The CTSI Annual Pilot Awards to Improve the Conduct of Research – an "Open Proposal" Opportunity is once again promoted on the RAP website but it is managed by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). This opportunity is open to faculty and staff, and will be administered through UCSF Open Proposals.
- Extra Funds Available for Eye Research are available through the Ryan Endowment Fund to fund eye research. Thanks to this fund, proposals in this area will continue to be funded by the Academic Senate at $50,000.
- The Asian Health Institute (AHI) will fund one Asian Health Pilot Grant ($25,000) on research relevant to Asian American populations and health or healthcare issues known to substantially impact Asian Americans.
CTSI Awards 23 Faculty Through RAP
UCSF's Clinical and Translational Science Institute awarded more than a half-million dollars through RAP during the Fall 2012 cycle to 23 faculty members.
The award is designed to catalyze research and career development activities in clinical and translational science. Of the awards, 19 were offered by the Strategic Opportunities Support (SOS) program and four offered by the Clinical Research Services program.
Although applicants choose the most appropriate grant mechanism for submission through RAP, each application is considered simultaneously by multiple funding agencies, thus enhancing the likelihood of support for a proposal. The funding agencies select and fund proposals that best fulfill programmatic criteria.
Most applications submitted through RAP will be reviewed by one of the 10 review committees organized by subject area and composed of faculty experts.
Applications submitted to the following grant mechanisms, however, are reviewed independently of the RAP review process: Catalyst Awards, Core Exploratory, CRS Pilot, Pilot Diabetes, and Pilot Obesity.
All programs on campus are welcome to use RAP to coordinate their funding opportunities. RAP currently offers the flexibility to be utilized in the following three different modules:
- Submission and review of proposals
- Submission only, with review handled independently
- Promotion of funding opportunities
The RAP website contains information and resources useful in preparing a RAP grant submission. To learn eligibility criteria visit http://rap.ucsf.edu/grants/.
For questions, contact Emanuela "Emy" Volpe via email or via phone, (415) 502-1674.

What Kind of a Character Does Allah Demand from Us?
The Qur'an, which is a guide to all humanity, is the Speech of Allah. We can attain the character that will please Allah by reading the verses of the Qur'an and living by them. This is really easy. But despite this, some people make the mistake of drifting away from the values that please Allah. If one day, everyone around you complied with Allah's wishes and embodied the values Allah demands from man, then this world would become a much better place. Now let's see briefly what these qualities are.
We all know that Allah created man. Consequently, Allah best knows the good and wicked qualities man possesses. A person may well deceive other people, but he can never hide anything from Allah. That is because, unlike us, Allah knows man's inner thoughts. Therefore, a person must always be sincere and honest towards Allah. One verse reads:
Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or make it known, Allah knows it. He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth. Allah has power over all things." (Surah Al 'Imran: 29)
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Allah. Whether you divulge what is in yourselves or keep it hidden, Allah will still call you to account for it. He forgives whomever He wills and He punishes whomever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (Surat al-Baqara: 284)
A person who is aware that Allah hears every word he utters, knows each act he does and every thought that crosses his mind, would never dare to engage in a wicked act, even if it were hidden from other people. This means that, to be truly good, people must absolutely believe in Allah's existence and His unity, acknowledge His might and be aware that He sees and hears everything. This is one of the prerequisites of attaining the values Allah demands from His slaves.
Loving Allah and Putting One's Trust in Him
You cherish the love your parents show you, do you not? You also love them. They protect and love you and meet your needs. You trust them. If you encounter a difficulty, you know they are always there to help you.
Have you ever thought how much you love Allah and trust Him?
Allah meets all the needs of all the beings He creates. Thanks to His infinite mercy, we live in this world in peace and enjoy countless blessings.
Allah created the sun so that we can live on earth. Allah also created vegetables, fruit and animals for us. We have bread, milk, meat and various other delicious vegetables and fruit because Allah creates them all for us.
Allah created rain so that we can have fresh water to drink. He created oceans, the continuous bodies of salt water. Without rain there would be neither fresh nor salt water on earth. Water is vital for us. As you know, man can only survive without water for a few days.
Allah loves steadfast people. The term "steadfastness" in the Qur'an is not limited to being steadfast in the face of ordeals, but means being steadfast at every moment of one's life. The steadfastness of a person who has faith does not change according to people or events. For instance, a person with little fear of Allah may be good to someone from whom he expects to derive benefit, but fail to demonstrate this praiseworthy attitude consistently. Once he feels his interests are at stake, he may abruptly change. A person of faith, however, meticulously avoids misconduct. He responds to everyone with excellent manners and is committed to keep doing so, no matter what the conditions are or what people's attitudes may be. Even though he is enraged, he manages to control himself and shows steadfastness.
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim: 34)
In one verse, Allah commands people to compete in being steadfast:
You who believe, be steadfast; be supreme in steadfastness; and remain stationed; and have fear of Allah; so that hopefully you will be successful. (Surah Al 'Imran: 200)
The steadfastness of the prophets mentioned in the Qur'an sets an example for us. As you will remember, the suffering of Ayyub, peace be upon him, lasted a very long time. But this noble slave of Allah showed steadfastness and prayed to Allah. Allah answered his prayer and showed him a way out.
Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you would show thanks. (Surat an-Nahl: 78)
Nuh, peace be upon him, displayed steadfastness when people mocked him because of the Ark he built. He remained calm and counselled them. These are the extraordinary examples of steadfastness displayed by these noble people. Allah relates in many verses that He loves His slaves who are steadfast.
Allah, on the contrary, does not love arrogant people who show off. Not all people enjoy the same material benefits in this world. Some have beautiful houses and cars while others may possess nothing, but what matters is that one conducts oneself correctly. For instance, assuming that one is superior to one's friends because one has better clothes is an attitude that displeases Allah. That is because Allah commands us to value people according to their faith, not their appearances.
Qarun was a very rich and arrogant person.
For Allah, the measure of superiority is not wealth or might, beauty or strength. Allah values people according to their taqwa (awe of Allah), the love they feel for Him, their loyalty and their commitment to living by the values of the Qur'an. These are the criteria for assessing superiority in Allah's sight. In the Qur'an, Allah relates the story of Qarun to teach us a lesson.
As a result of his insolence towards Allah, the earth swallowed Qarun together with all his treasures.
Qarun was a very wealthy man. He was so rich that the keys to his treasure had to be carried by several people. Ignorant people around him yearned to be like Qarun and wished they had everything he had. But Qarun was an arrogant and boastful person who was not obedient to Allah. He denied that Allah had given him all his wealth. So, Allah inflicted a terrible disaster on Qarun: He and all his possessions disappeared in one single night. Upon this terrible disaster, those who yearned to be like him expressed their joy at not being in his place. They all recognised that this was a punishment from Allah.
Qarun is mentioned as an example in the Qur'an as follows:
Qarun was one of the people of Musa but he lorded it over them. We gave him treasures, the keys alone to which were a heavy weight for a party of strong men. When his people said to him, "Do not gloat. Allah does not love people who gloat." (Surat al-Qasas: 76)
The Qur'an informs us that "gossiping" and "backbiting" are some of the other behavioural traits disliked by Allah.
He went out among his people in his finery. Those who desired the life of the world said, "Oh! If only we had the same as Qarun has been given! What immense good fortune he possesses."
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! Allah's reward is better for those who have faith and act rightly. But only the steadfast will obtain it."
We caused the earth to swallow up both him and his house. There was no group to come to his aid, besides Allah, and he was not someone who is helped.
Those who had longed to take his place the day before woke up saying, "Allah expands the provision of any of His slaves He wills or restricts it. If Allah had not shown great kindness to us, we would have been swallowed up as well. Ah! Truly the disbelievers are not successful." (Surat al-Qasas: 79-82)
Spying on someone's mistakes, backbiting and making a person a target for mockery are behaviour that a person who fears Allah must studiously avoid. In the Qur'an Allah forbids gossiping and backbiting. The relevant verse reads:
You who have faith! Avoid most suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother's dead flesh? No, you would hate it. And have fear of Allah. Allah is Ever-Returning, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Hujurat: 12)
As is also evident from the verse, Allah tells us in the Qur'an that backbiting is as disgusting as eating one's dead brother's flesh.
Allah tells us to conduct ourselves correctly in the course of our daily lives. Life is an opportunity granted by our Lord to follow His right path. Today, most people are unaware of this. Instead of complying with Allah's commands and advice, they seek other guides. Being influenced by the films they watch or the songs to which they listen, they adopt erroneous values. For instance, young people who watch a merciless and cruel hero in a movie often start to imitate him right after they leave the theatre.
A wise and sincere person, however, always displays the character traits with which Allah is pleased. The prophets are the people in whose footsteps we must follow. The character traits we must have are those values with which Allah is pleased. These include being merciful, forgiving, modest, humble, steadfast and obedient to Allah and His Messenger. A person who adopts these noble values does not stoop to becoming involved in disputes; He rather settles them and shows tolerance. Instead of being rebellious and disobedient to one's parents, the Qur'an commands us to be obedient and respectful. In the Qur'an, Allah stresses the importance of being respectful towards one's parents:
Your Lord has decreed that you should worship none but Him, and that you should show kindness to your parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say "Ugh!" to them out of irritation and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with gentleness and generosity.
Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say: "Lord, show mercy to them as they did in looking after me when I was small." (Surat al-Isra: 23-24)
Being obedient towards one's parents, not showing the slightest sign of irritation to them by saying "Ugh," and always being merciful and tender-hearted towards them are important character traits Allah demands from us. Showing these traits will both earn us Allah's love and make us more happy and peaceful in our daily lives.
One can only display these character traits praised in the Qur'an when one lives by Islam. Disbelieving people can hardly be committed to embodying these noble values. You must avoid being like these people and always keep in mind the verse that reads: "Or did you imagine that you were going to enter the Garden without Allah knowing those among you who had struggled and knowing the steadfast?" (Surah Al 'Imran: 142) Never forget that Allah will love you more and grant more of His blessings to you when you are steadfast, humble, self-sacrificing, generous, and when you conduct yourself correctly.


text: Canyon Webb: 1st Annual Park City Utah Tattoo Convention Review By Canyon Webb Our flight left at 6:15 a.m. Thursday, still dark and half-asleep getting on the plane. The onset of pre-flight jitters and excitement of going to a new place fight the urge to sleep. It seemed like I closed my eyes and re-opened them to notice the reflection of the sun on a huge salty lake. We were here, and the landscape was scattered in jagged mountains, dirt and sagebrush. Down the escalator to the baggage claim as a black suited driver holds a sign that says Jeff Gogué, I turn to look at Jeff with a huge smile... We wait for our bags and I'm praying my sleeping bag stayed attached to my check in bag. I was assured in a stern tone from the Delta ticket counter that it would never make it. I freaked and desperately tied it tightly to my luggage. There were no hotel rooms available in Park City this convention weekend. It was my only hope for a bed. I spotted my bag come down the conveyor belt and by a thread my sleeping bag is still attached... Phew. We met our driver outside to see a beaming white limo, not a van, not a cab, a limo! Jeff's face was priceless. I said, "Holy shit man, they got you a limo ride to the resort." "No way man," Jeff said. We hop in reluctantly thinking this is all a big mistake, and by the look on the drivers face, he wasn't expecting to pick up a couple tattooed dudes. Jeff is noticeably overwhelmed and in usual humble form says,"This is way too much for me." A half-hour drive to Park City through winding hills and I reflect on the funny contrast in my life. I'm getting to ride in a limo with Jeff Gogué to the tattoo convention and on the other hand I'm preparing to sleep anywhere in a sleeping bag for the next four nights. Unbelievable... The show's promoter and owner of Lucky Bamboo tattoo Jared Preslar greets us, shows us around, then we bullshit over lunch. Park City reminded me of a mormon flavored Aspen Colorado. Obvious rich people jogging and riding their mountain bikes, beautiful mansions on mountain sides surrounded by immaculate ski resorts and runs. The long day wrapped up with a few beers and dinner with amazing people. Some hopeful sleeping options didn't pan out and I'm destined to Jeff's couch for sleep. More than I could hope for, except for taking the privacy away from a friend sucked. Friday morning... and were pumped to get started. I headed to the show to set up and Jeff prepared for his seminar. The showroom is on the small side, but feels intimate. A nice contrast to a lot of other shows trying to cram in as many booths and artists as possible. The mood was great and it's clear the emphasis was put on quality and not quantity. It was nice to see familiar faces, like-minded people, and lots of talent. The show opened and a steady stream of people walked the aisles. Fridays are always interesting, it's either hit or miss. I burned up most of my day meeting new people and catching up with friends. As Friday night winded down Nikko Hurtado was the last one working showing true resilience and tattooing all day and all night till 1:30 a.m. on Keith Chiaramello. Saturday morning we woke up with plans of zip lining down a huge mountain behind the convention. It was hot and dry, and a break in my Oregon routine. Four of us went on a ski lift to the top of the mountain to an unexpected stop and start to a zip-line drop off. I hate heights so the adrenaline buzz carried right over into the perfect start to a busy day of tattooing. I started my day tattooing a colorful Quetzal bird on a back, and finishing the night tattooing a skeleton key and ribbon. I tattooed till midnight, the last one tattooing Saturday night. I asked my last client for a ride downtown to meet up with friends for dinner and drinks. I got dropped off on a tiny main street filled with ritzy ski bars and restaurants with no shortness of drunk people and noise. I walked down a random alley alone and to my right I spotted a Banksy piece painted on the wall and protected with plexiglass. A piece I recognized, a camera man pulling a flower from the dirt. It was the most unexpected thing to find in this rich little mormon ski town. I walked a couple blocks down and found the fancy restaurant and asked the hostess, "Is there a big table here with a bunch of tattooed people?" she smiled and led the way to the table. I was so thirsty, I missed dinner but was just in time for some drinks and was handed an amber-colored shot of God knows what as soon as sat down... I throw my head back, swallowed the shot and thought, "What in the shit was that?" The table stared and laughed, letting me in on the joke... "Ha-ha," I muttered under my breath as I tried to chug water and eat off the leftover dinner plates from surrounding strangers I hadn't met yet at the table to get the shitty taste of unrecognizable booze out of my mouth. I headed back to the hotel to bullshit, as we all scheme an unsuccessful plan to sneak into the hotel pool late that night. Sunday morning and I'm starting to miss my wife, my home, my comfy bed, my bathroom, all the things we take for granted in life. Park City Utah is still hot, and the elevation high. The last day of the convention and its a nice relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is used to their neighbors. Artists exuding camaraderie. Tattooers taking their finished tattoo from booth to friendly booth showing their work in supportive fashion. I was content walking around and soaking up as much as I could from some of my favorite tattooers like Cory Norris, and being blown away by artists I haven't met like Vic Back, and snagging up the last bit of inspiration before we packed up. We ended the night at a cool little sushi place called the Flying Sumo. A table packed full of artists and an end to the 1st Annual Park City Utah Tattoo convention. An intimate convention with amazing scenery, great artists and attitudes. A great job by Jared Preslar and the hosting Lucky Bamboo crew...

NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists Message Board › Other non-New Yorkers
The NYC Satanists/LHP Discussion Group, also known as New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" Occultists, is one of only a very few Satanist/LHP groups in the entire world that hold regular meetings open to the general public. We are the oldest such group (founded in 2003) and the easiest way to meet Satanists, LHPers, etc. in NYC.
We hold open discussion meetings and informal social gatherings in Manhattan. We welcome Satanists, Luciferians, "dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, theistic or nontheistic. We also welcome open-minded people interested in learning about the various forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and "Left Hand Path" occultism.
Our founder, Diane Vera, is a non-LaVeyan theistic ("traditional") Satanist. She has a website on theistic Satanism, including a page for theistic Satanists in or near New York City, and aims also to build a New York City proto-congregation of the Church of Azazel. However, this Meetup group (NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists) is NOT just for prospective Church of Azazel members, and not just for theistic Satanists, but aims to welcome all kinds of Satanists, Luciferians, dark Pagans, and Left Hand Path occultists on an equal basis. (See What is Satanism? for the most general definition of "Satanism.")
Our calendar page lists not only our own meetings, but also some other events not sponsored by this group per se but organized by regularly-attending members of our group. (In the past, such events have included music concerts by one of our members -- see our page To musicians, artists, writers, etc..)

I had some problems with the plymouth boot screen in the past few days. In fact, the problems come again from guess what? Yes, my hybrid graphics cards in my laptop! 😉
I found that simply blacklisting the nouveau driver was not enough, it was still there after a reboot. That seems to cause a distorted boot screen from time to time.
So, here is what I did to be sure that nouveau is not used at all, just the Intel driver (all these steps must be done as a privileged user) :
- First, blacklist the nouveau driver :
echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
- Add rdblacklist=nouveau to the end of your grub.conf kernel parameters list
- Rebuild you initrd with this command :
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
After that, you should reboot and see your boot screen come out clean each time. Also, you should notice that lsmod don't report nouveau as being loaded anymore, just the Intel one.
If you have any other ways to fix this issue, I welcome any improvements!

Who said nursing Moms can't accessorize? In the days gone by, woman used a safety pin to remember which side baby nursed on last.
Nursing evenly across both breasts is a huge benefit. Remembering which side you last breast-fed is the key. You'll reduce discomfort, maximize your milk production, and improve your success. Having a beautiful reminder like Mama Jewels is a very feminine way to express the beauty of the entire experience and a helpful tool to make life easier. Plus a safety pin is just too boring.
Made from Swarovski crystals, sterling silver and glass beads, Mama Jewels serve both a practical purpose and make a fashion statement for breastfeeding women. The flexible memory wire design makes it easy to move from one bra strap (or belt loop) to the other. Mama Jewels are great keepsake of your time spent breastfeeding your baby and memories that you will cherish forever.
How Breastfeeding Reminder Work:
The concept is quite simple. At the end of each breastfeeding session, place your Mama Jewel on the bra strap (or you can use your belt loop) that you finished the feeding. At the next feeding, begin nursing your baby on the side where the Mama Jewel is located.

Course reviews

+8 votes Harold Fernando › September 26, 2015
Love this course! Almost perfect just need longer pads! Don't think they're even regulation length. Variety of shots, some elevation changes. A side armer's dream! Hole 9 is the signature hole at this course, it's kinda tricky.......
+3 votes Eirik Kauserud › March 7, 2011
Great course. Tee's a re a little funny on a couple of holes. Very fun course.
+3 votes Matt Dimick › October 30, 2010
would be higher if the pads were better
+2 votes Wade TF › March 2, 2011
I like this course because it has every shot and there are some birdie holes and most par holes require a high level of skill to get. Good baskets and and concrete tees. In a state park it almost always has a private course feel because of little traffic. I believe there is a league here during the summer and there are tournaments here throughout the year. Really a great place to put a course. Right off a beach and out in BFE. Course could use some benches and trash receptacles around the teeing areas.

Amazing course. The hole diversity makes you have precision drives along with flex shots. Great mixture of wooded and open holes. Only slight downsides are the thick brush, awkward tee angles, and the stupid ponds on hole 9. Aside, this course is always a great challenge.

Great course in general but I must agree with the others. The pads are a bit small.
+2 votes Andy Engilsh › September 19, 2011
it would be nice if the grass wasn't crazy tall on the longer holes
+2 votes Larry Dalimonte › March 14, 2012
Great location, beautiful scenery, no crowds, good mix of open and technical holes, love it except for hole 9 :D Tee pads could be lengthened and could use a few more benches and trash cans. Oh and bring your wind discs because it tends to get really gusty on the open holes by the lake.
+2 votes Kyle Greiner › July 12, 2012
Good course layout with good variety and no glaring flaws. Could be maintained more frequently, but solid other than that. It is generally a good idea to skip hole nine as the basket is on a peninsula.

first time playing this course after walking it in 2010 with my mother when she played disc girls gone wild i really liked it a lot. very open not a super long course. needs some more trash cans and benches here and there. only came across three trash cans and one bench. but still i really like this course very peaceful when there is no one around.

I really liked this course. It's a bit of a drive from Lansing, but it was nice to play something different. The pads are super short, which is kind of a pain if you're trying to run up to a longer pin. There are some nice elevation changes. The course is technical with a couple open holes at the beginning and end. Some long. Some short. It's a nice variety. I definitely recommend checking it out.
+1 votes Justin Rogers › June 18, 2012
This is probably the best course I've ever been to. Most all holes are big and open with lots of room to throw. Also all holes except maybe 2 or 3 are over 300 ft long. Several water hazards and very thick woods all around you so your gonna want to bring your A game and some discs you don't care about cause losing a disc is almost a garuntee here.

Hole 9 is a very tough holeand goes way uphill sort of to the left then goes steep downhill sharp left onto a sort of peninsula about 75ft long but only about 8 to 10 ft wide surrounded by very deep water on both sides...you must be careful here or you will lose your disc...better to just throw to the basket low than go for a putt and miss and lose your disc. All in all my favorite course and is a leftys dream course considering most holes go to the right. Lastly this courses only downside are the small tee pads.

Appears to be maintained by a group that refers to themselves at "The Friends." My best guess is some sort of extremist Hippy faction. This course is definitly as Flannigan as a course can get. Heres to you Flanzo!

Nice park, a few too many left to right holes.
+0 votes Joal Kozma › May 19, 2011
Well ill start with the fact that the course was completely muddy and soaked. However it is a nice shorter style course with some unique holes. 5353 feet in course distance. Fair mix of open and wooded holes. hole 9 is the signature hole. 391 feet downhill to basket location that looks like a peninsula with water about 10 feet on either side of the basket. Definitley like the course and would put it on a must play list. not many other courses nearby.

Amazing course, there is pretty much something for everyone. From open, big arm cannon holes to tight and technical holes, flat, smooth shots to rolling hills. Playing this course will make you a better player. The only real complaints I have are that there's a lot of locations for casual water which can start to stink and that being near water, you deal with some heavier winds than you might at other courses.

This was my second time playing the course. The rough is very rough and if you miss the fairway the rough will cause a longer search. I lost my first drive but I also found a disc on hole 1 so ill take a missing yellow/green destroyer over a found tyedye Orc. The tee pads are about 1 ½ steps long which is about 1½ steps too little. There is a downed tree right in the middle of hole 5 which makes it extremely difficult and needs to be taken care of. Most of the bomber holes seem to be a ...

Most of the bomber holes seem to be anhyzer which means time to break out those understable discs. The course would be a lot better if they just cleared some under brush on a few holes and made the pads 6 feet longer.

This course is very well groomed, has good lengths and a nice variety of shots. The day I came here was during a wind storm so a couple discs were lost in the tall grass, but that's all part of the game. Hole nine is a VERY SCARY (in a good way) fairway and possibly the most unique I've seen.

I LOVE this course and play it regularly. Great layout and mix of shots. Some open, some wooded, some perfect for backhand, some perfect for sidearm, and some even great for overhand. Great use of elevation. Never seen it crowded. Could use a few arrows to direct newbies between some of the baskets and tees. Hole 9 is the signature, playing up onto a narrow peninsula, and has claimed more than its fair share of discs. They recently added more garbage bins.

The course is well maintained & very challenging. There's a good mix of holes for both backhand & forehand shots regardless if you're right or left handed. I like the fact that there are some wide open shots as well as tight tricky shots where the shape of your shot means everything. My only dislike is the fact that the tee pads are fairly short. I know on shorter holes having a big tee pad may not be necessary but I like to take the same walk up on the tee pad regardless of the power I put into my throw.

I did not get the wow factor that I thought I would get after reading the reviews. The couse is very nice and has a great flow to it. Its mostly a bit long for the new or intermediate arms like mine. I loved 9 unlike many others and did get the wow from it, and 17 with a right sloping turn with an extreme left sloping fairway the whole way was awsome as well. b- is above avg. but being long, many holes basically out in the field, and lack of wow factor made for a slightly dissapoiting trip for me. All in all nice though.

Sleepy Hollow is a great course that seems to play very technical. In a State Park so you will need the 10 dollar sticker to enter the park to disc.

This course treats you bad if you dont land in the fairway. Definatly for the more experienced disc golfer as lines are tight and there are hazards everywhere. This course was groomed excellently, until you fin your self in the rough crawling through bushes and thistle. #9 is a peninsula green with water 6 ft on either side of the basket... play safe as this water is stagnant and awful mucky looking.

DC Prime Steakhouse
It was a pleasure to have Rocky as our server. Food was outstanding. Always a fantastic dinner experience
A very pleasant place for a birthday (85th) celebration. Steaks excellent, side orders delicious. Server (Hannah) just outstanding.
Food was excellent and we had very good service.
Aside from the obvious, the best steak in Dc period. The service somehow, even more impressive and I cannot stress enough how nice it was to be over satisfied with a phenomenal dinner experience
We celebrated Father's Day at DC Prime. The restaurant was very busy and little louder than last time we were there. That said, it was a GREAT night. The service and food - terrific. Our waiter John was excellent at being attentive to us while juggling other tables. Thanks for a memorable evening. We'll be back!
DC Prime is an outstanding steakhouse. The owner/manager Rick, is to be commended. Not only is the food great but the service is impeccable. Our waiter, John, was terrific. He was warm and friendly and highly professional. We split a shrimp cocktail, salad, and enjoyed N.Y. strip and filet mignon, capping it off with a wonderful dessert. We highly recommend DC Prime.
Excellent food and Carlos is the best.
Great food as always and great service from Morgan
The food and service is simply outstanding! Perfectly cooked steak and the chocolate cake. Oh my goodness! Chocolate heaven. The sides are just out of this world. The attention and perfection used to prepare our meal. Just perfect.
1. Service was slow
-Waiter visited table twice initially to tell us he'd be back with us in a couple of minutes but didn't ask if we'd like to order a drink while we were waiting.
-It took over 15 minutes to get a drink
-It took over 30 minutes to get some bread
-It took about 45 minutes to get our appetizer
-It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our main
-In all it took us just under 2 hours to get through our meal and not because we were taking our time, enjoying ourselves, not ready to order, or having drinks after our meal.
-One of our cocktails was also not properly made but we didn't send it back because of the slowness of the service
2. Out of several items on menu... just about everything we tried to order was out and we had to go with a second choice and it was still early in the evening (7:30pm on Saturday )
-The main special was out
-The 8 oz filet mignon was out
-The bottle of wine we ordered was out (we were given a slightly more expensive bottle for the same price)
3. Usually the crab cakes come out on a bed of greens or with some sort of garnish but it was just a pile of crab cake that looked like it had been scooped onto a bare plate with some sauce... there was no presentation at all... they were still very good but so are the accompanying garnish/greens usually.
3. Trash from the bar was taken out through the main dining area by our table... I'm not sure but isn't that against code? Regardless, we've never eaten in a nice restaurant where trash was taken out by our table.
4. I also sent an email directly to DC prime the next day highlighting the above issues and never received a response, which tells me they don't care about customers.
I have been to DC Prime before and apparently I just hit the off-nights (or just the night with the same very loud guy who seems...over-served) And yes, it was the same guy! He was standing up at a table in the middle of the restaurant, teetering and laugh-cursing. His table mates were telling him.to sit down, but he didnt listen. One of the women with them also seemed a bit "jovial" and loudly enjoyed his antics. The staff did nothing to quiet him. I guess he is there often as the last (and first time) we were at DC Prime this exact same guy was acting "over-served." Other patrons were looking and not eating.
As for our own table, the server forgot to put in my scallops. She was very quick to fix it though. Steaks...awesome as always.
Overall, ok. Food is good, but the atmosphere (read: obnoxious patron) was anything but on-point for our Anniversary.
DC Prime is a great venue for a special occasion. It's beautiful inside and the service is top notch. We took our kids for the oldest's high school graduation dinner. All of the kids enjoyed their meals, but my husband and I were not as pleased. I ordered the ahi. It was a beautiful piece of fish, but it was made almost inedible by the ultra salty sauce it was soaking in! It could have been a beautiful meal had it been in a light broth instead of the way too salty soy sauce. I took half of it home and asked them not to put the sauce in the to go box. My husband had the filet mignon and said his wasn't seasoned enough. I would still recommend DC Prime, but would recommend against getting the ahi.
This is a great steakhouse. I've taken my family multiple times and have never been disappointed.
Me and my fiancé took his mom out for a birthday dinner. Upon arrival the table was reserved and had a Birthday card set up for his mom. Service was fast and superb. Hannah our waitress did an amazing job explaining everything on the menu and all the specials and gave excellent recommendations based on our likes. We had the sea bass, king crab legs, filet trio, truffle fries and the lobster bites. Everything was delicious and brought out in short time. At the end they brought out a special birthday brownie and candle. Would definitely recommend and will return when in the area. Thanks again
Undecidedly the best high-end chop house in the region. Wonderful cuts of meat and amazing service.
Heath is an awesome waiter.
DC Prime is a wonderful first class statehouse. We had a wonderful birthday celebrating. Our waiter and the full staff are excellent. The steak where perfectly prepared. We will be back.
This was our second time visiting DC Prime Steakhouse and once again it did not disappoint. The food was fabulous, the wine and cocktail list was long and the service was superb. I highly recommend this for a dinner you won't soon forget.
Office party had noise levels up at the tables and bar. Aside from that, food and service were great.
Always a great place. Unfortunately the best wines on their wine list was not available this night. The manager did compensate with a complimentary bottle after tree we asked for were not available.
Excellent meal for a special occasion! Food and drinks were fabulous and we had a great birthday celebration.
The steak is always outstanding . Worth the high cost if improved ambiance. Table placement ridiculous when it necessitates large waiter's rear body infringing on ones own table while serving the adjacent table.
I really wanted to like DC Prime. But, my bone-in rib eye was sub par. I like a good char and crust on my steaks with a warm red center. This came out a light tan color like it needed a few more minutes in the oven. It also didn't appear to have any seasoning. Steaks like like this just need some salt. This didn't have any salt or so little it didn't provide any extra flavor.
On the positive end, the side dishes were excellent and the service was very good. The classic martini was very good as well.
But in the end, the poor execution of the steak ruined the experience for me.
The quality of the beef at DCP is excellent. Also, Andrei is the best person to handle your ordering and service needs. He's has an excellent command of the menu and the nuances of each dish. Always an excellent experience.
Service and food was as great as I was hoping!
Good food and the service was great. Yoko was our server and he was friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone works as a team to ensure a great experience for guests. Steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection.
Mother's Day
We thoroughly enjoyed our Mother's Day brunch. Every item we ordered was perfect and our waiter was prompt and attentive. Thanks for making it a memorable experience for my family
Perfect fine dining for date night! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent service. Food was fantastic. Will definitely be back
Took my son there for his 13th birthday. Didn't expect the server to give him a birthday card and take care of his dessert. That was a nice surprise. Everyone checked on us throughout the meal and the pace of the overall experience was great.
Our first time at the restaurant, and the occasion was our anniversary. I can't think of a better way of spending the evening. We will definitely frequent this establishment more...had an unbelievable time!!!
As usual everything was great at DC Prime. My only complaint was that I was charged $6 for steak sauce which should have been free.
We go to DC Prime for business at least once every week. We have always had a great experience, between Rick greeting everyone at the door, to the knowledgeable bar staff and the professional wait staff, we always have a reason to go back.
Great meal. One table of loud people was a drag.
Service was incredible. Great steak/scallops. Definitely pricey but worth it.
DC Prime is the premiere steakhouse in the Loudoun area! Always enjoy the wonderful service and great food. We had a wonderful Easter Brunch and my kids love dining here as a special treat!
Outstanding meal amd service. Highly recommend. Only one small issue was that a smoking area behind the bar was a bit open and the smoke was slightly evident in the inside bar and restaurant. Wasn't terrible but hadn't noticed it on previous visits.
Amazing evening. Waiter was pleasurable. Food was delicious. Expensive but worth it
Waiter recommended that "medium" was more akin to "medium rare" and "medium well" was more akin to "medium" for their steaks. However, we ordered one rib eye medium well, and it was medium well. We ordered a filet "medium" and it was medium. Steaks tasted great, but we ordered the filet with the truffle butter thinking it would be melted over the steak (or at least partially). The butter was a solid cold block of butter on the steak that never did really soften or melt--unremarkable at $8 for the patty of butter. Taste of steaks was outstanding. Spinach was great. Nothing special about the baked potato. Service great. Expensive though---$265 for two people --only alcohol was a single glass of house wine.
An enjoyable meal. As a higher-end steak restaurant, it's on par with its competitors. The prices are a bit high for the quality of the food. Service was attentive and well timed although the order was not deliver correctly (forgot this, undercooked that). The restaurant was not crowded and quiet on Friday night but there is ample seating for lots of people. I could imagine the place could be loud if even half full. There's a bar which has several TVs. It was about half full. Parking is good and free.

Datalogic receives over 1 million euros in funding for research and development activities in the field of "artificial vision"
The I-CUBE project will be developed over a period of two and a half years, and involves the testing of alternative approaches for applications of artificial vision
Bologna, 19th February 2013 - Datalogic, world leader in automatic identification and one of the main providers of global solutions, as well as producer of bar code readers, mobile computers for data collection, and vision systems, has obtained over 1 million euros in funding for research and development activities in the area of two projects funded by the Emilia Romagna Region, VIALAB and I-CUBE.
The Regional Body has recently published the rankings for its "Research, Innovation and Growth" programme that supports the creation of new industrial research projects within the scope of investment programmes and employment development. The project presented by Datalogic, involving industrial research activities and experimental development, has passed through a stringent selection process (with around 100 applications received), and has been approved for its high degree of innovation and for its involvement with qualified partners such as the University of Bologna.
The I-CUBE project will be developed over a period of two and a half years, and involves the testing of alternative approaches for applications of artificial vision, such as object identification with Direct Part Marking, tracking objects in space, or the human-machine interface on the web. With this project, Datalogic aims to expand the interoperability of its products and also the remote management of them, thanks to industrial broadband connectivity technologies.
I-CUBE represents the continuum of VIALAB, a project on vision, promoted from the beginning by the Emilia Romagna Region. The project, which was completed last year, was developed thanks also to collaboration with the System Group (a global player, active in the industrial automation sector), highly specialised research bodies including both universities and members of the region's high technology network, such as AERTECH LAB and T3Lab, and with CRIT Research™, a technology broker specialising in the strategic management of innovation processes. The research was carried out by a group of young newly-graduated researchers, who were working full time on VIALAB and were guided by university tutors.
During the recent conference "VIALAB - Technologies and algorithms for artificial vision", held on 13th February at the Kilometro Rosso Technology and Science Park at Bergamo, the results obtained by the research laboratory during the last two years of activity were presented. From this meeting it was demonstrated that VIALAB has united the expertise of industry and of research, representing an effective response to the requirements of an industry (automation, controls and mechatronics) that has been watching artificial vision with great interest for a long time and which, in recent years, has begun to appreciate its full potential.
Giancarlo Micheletti, Chief Technology Officer of Datalogic Group, commented: "We are proud to have obtained this funding from the Emilia Romagna Region. We believe that artificial vision is the most strategically promising technology for the evolution and innovation of our range of products and solutions in the context of a highly competitive field. The reduction of production process costs and the need for product quality improvement will increasingly demand the adoption of this technology in industry. Artificial vision has the goal of giving automated machines the capacity for objective and autonomous evaluation, thus allowing them to work with flexibility and speed."
Datalogic has always firmly believed that research is fundamental for its business and invests around 7% of annual sales revenue into R&D, having over 1,000 patents registered throughout the world. These patents are also the result of acquiring international companies that have developed innovative technologies, as in the case of the two American companies Evolution Robotics Retail and PPT Vision, active respectively in the fields of visual pattern recognition and machine vision.

Story highlights
- Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum reopens after massive $489m, 10-year rebuilding program
- The 'altarpiece' of the cathedral-like Gallery of Honor is Rembrandt's 'The Night Watch'
- Curator Pieter Roelofs says the painting is 'the Dutch national treasure'
Click on the picture above to reveal the artwork's secrets.
(CNN)Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, one of the world's best-known galleries, reopens April 13 after a massive 10-year rebuild.
At the heart of the "new" museum is its most treasured painting, "The Night Watch," a group portrait of one of Amsterdam's local militias, painted by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1642, at the height of the Dutch Golden Age.
Architect Pierre Cuypers designed the building around the massive masterpiece -- it measures 11 feet by 14 feet -- in 1885, and it is the only work to be returned to its original location in the radically revamped gallery.
"Everything has changed, the only thing that hasn't is 'The Night Watch'," explains Wim Pijbes, the museum's director. "It is the altarpiece of the Rijksmuseum, the whole place is arranged around this beautiful masterpiece."
Visitors will approach Rembrandt's painting through the cathedral-like entrance hall, filled with jewel-toned stained glass and extravagant wall decorations, and the restored Gallery of Honor, home to the Rijksmuseum's collection of 17th century works.
Pieter Roelofs, curator of 17th century art, told CNN the arrangement "shows off how important this painting is to the Dutch nation. It is the national treasure."
In keeping with the ethos of the new-look museum, "The Night Watch" is surrounded by other militia portraits of the era, giving the piece context but also showing just how innovative Rembrandt's work was.
And there's another hint as to just how well-loved the priceless painting is on the floor beneath it: The outline of a trap door. "The Night Watch" is the only picture in the gallery to have its own "escape slide," designed in 1934, to allow it to be swiftly moved out of danger in case of fire, or other threats.

Thanks to Sue Maxwell's blog "Granite Genealogy" I learned about the discount for Family History Consultants to attend BYU's Conference on April 26th and 27th. (Somehow I missed the announcement from FamilySearch on that.) This two day conference will be held at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah, right before the NGS Conference.
The regular price for general admission is $120 for the two days. The special discount is being offered to any Family History consultant for only $75.00. To receive the discount, you must call 1-801-422-8925 and identify yourself as a family history consultant.
The person that I spoke with at BYU said you can also purchase at the discount price if you register online. You just need to mark that you are a family history consultant. This price discount is good until April 25th.
