Ranked as high as fourth in the world, she narrowly missed Olympic selection last year while holding down her day job as a research microbiologist at Oslo University.
I was fascinated, and initially horrified, to read this week of the latest anabolic steroid research from the five-strong team of which she is a member. On greater probing, it proved encouraging, for it seems to have persuaded the World Anti-Doping Agency to think again.
Published in the Journal of Physiology, the Norwegian paper suggests that even brief exposure to steroids may have long-lasting, and possibly permanent, performance-enhancing effects. The research was done on mice, but Professor Kristian Gundersen, the team leader, insists the principles are relevant in humans.
Reacquisition of muscle mass (with or without steroid use) after periods of inactivity had previously been attributed to motor learning, but Gundersen's team suggests there is a cellular "memory mechanism" within muscle of even brief steroid users. He told Herald Sport yesterday that he believes this can be reactivated "even after decades".
This provides further compelling argument for a lifetime ban on steroid cheats. We have suggested in these columns that the likes of sprinter Dwain Chambers and cyclist David Millar still benefit from performance-enhancing substances taken years ago.
The Norwegian research backs this view and may help deliver a knockout blow to those apologists who believe the brotherhood of the needle deserve a second chance. More pertinently, it shows clean athletes need more protection, and if Commonwealth Games Scotland wish to claim the moral high ground for 2014, they should end their ambivalent stance which allowed Millar, to be selected and claim tainted cycling gold in Delhi.
Gundersen says his colleague, Egner, the Nordic boxing champion, "is driven stongly by a desire to keep sport clean".
We have criticised WADA in the past. We told how research from the Department of Molecular Biosciences at the same university was published in the US three years ago, under the heading: "Performance enhancement from doping is for life and not just for Christmas". The conclusion was clear even to a non-scientist: "Effects of previous strength training can be long-lived, even after prolonged subsequent inactivity, and retraining is facilitated by a previous training episode. Anabolic steroids . . . may also have implications for exclusion periods after a doping offence."
You would have thought this would be a wake-up call to WADA, but they and the Court of Arbitration for Sport persisted in upholding the rights of cheats, rather than defend guilt-free athletes. They forced the British Olympic Association to embrace drug offenders, giving Chambers, Millar and shot-putter Carl Myerscough eligibility for London 2012. Sport governing bodies and BOA had no choice.
However, following publication of this latest paper, Gundersen revealed to us last night that WADA have given his department a grant for further research and said it was their earlier paper which convinced WADA to push for doubling the two-year ban. "They rarely fund animal-research, but in this case they have," he said.
This has prompted Gundersen, who says doping bans in sport are "a political question", to consider ethical ways of doing human research on steroids.
"It is hard to translate from a mouse which only lives two years, but the biology suggests to me that it could be very long-lasting in a human. To me, that makes a four-year suspension rather a short time.
"The results in our mice may correspond to the effects of steroids lasting for decades in humans, given the same cellular 'muscle memory' mechanism . . . Three months after withdrawal of the drug [approximately 15% of a mouse's life span] their muscles grew by 30% over six days following load exercise. The untreated mice grew insignificantly. It is rare in my experience to get such clearcut results."
He explained that many basic biological mechanisms are similar in all mammals, which is why a lot of medical research is done in mice. "A mouse lives only two years, so you can't compare with humans in absolute terms, but the mechanism relating to the cell nuclei are such that you would expect it to be very long-lasting in humans.
"When you give steroids, muscle grows and you get more power. You also get an increase in the number of cell nuclei surrounded by machinery for synthesising the protein that builds the muscle. Previously it was believed when you de-trained, or removed the drug, the muscle shrunk and you lost these extra nuclei. But we have shown they never disappear. They are not eliminated.
"For me the greatest interest is not in sport doping, but in helping the elderly. These nuclei are very stable in humans. They last several decades. To increase the nuclei is much harder when you are old than when you are young. So it is good advice to do some exercise when you are young. Even if you don't train throughout life, you might benefit from that in old age. Frailty of the elderly is big problem. There are implications there."

[Verse 1]
Now that our family's here
Friends who are dear with us
It's time to trim the tree
We light the fire
It's Christmas Eve
Welcome to the table for some holiday fare

In Christmas prayer
I'm so glad the season is finally here
Our house is nice& full like it was last year
Nothing feels better than Christmas cheer
When everyone's home for Christmas Eve
[Verse 2]
Outside snow fills the air
Colorful lights
Are seen everywhere
Sleigh bells
I heard through the night
Little ones know
Santa's coming tonight
Christmas trees
Carolers sing our favorite songs
So,let's grab our coats and sing along
Come on,come on,come on
Christmas trees
Carolers sing our favorite songs
So,let's grab our coats and sing along

Colorado Flooding Leaves Three People Dead
13 09 2013In Colorado, heavy rains and scarring from recent wildfires sent walls of water crashing down mountainsides early Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013 causing flash floods.
For updated version, click here
At least three people were killed and another person is still missing.
The flood toppled buildings and stranded motorists.
Three cars fell into the creek when the bridge on a business access road at Highway 287 and Dillon Road at the Broomfield and Lafayette border collapsed.
Access to the mountain community of Lyons has been completely cut off because of by the flood.
The rains transformed Boulder Creek, into a raging torrent that spilled over its banks and flooded adjacent parking lots and streets.
St. Vrain River has also overflowed.
The city of Boulder and some other towns along the Front Range of the Rockies were especially hard hit as flood waters came down from the rain-soaked mountainsides.
The flooding was reported all along the Front Range, from Colorado Springs to north of Fort Collins but Boulder County was hardest hit, with up to 6 inches of rain falling over 12 hours.

KYW reported that the fire started at Kohr Brothers frozen custard shop on the FunTown Amusement Pier around 2:15 p.m. ET.
AP reported that more than three hours after the fire started in the vicinity of an ice cream shop, television footage showed flames still leaping into the sky and thick black smoke covering a stretch of the coastline.
About 20 businesses have been burned and damaged over six blocks.
As reported by CNN, the fire was still burning along Ocean Terrace Avenue between Stockton Avenue and Lincoln Avenue Thursday evening.

Train Derails In Spain, At Least 60 Were Killed
25 07 2013A train derailed outside the ancient north western Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela on Wednesday.
60 people were killed in the accident while 131 others were injured.
247 people were on board of the train when it derailed at about 8:41 p.m..
The operator of the train is the state rail company, Renfe while state-owned Adif is in charge of the tracks
Renfe said in a statement that the eight-carriage train was travelling from Madrid to Ferrol on the Galician coast when it derailed.
It was one of the worst rail accidents in Europe over the past 25 years.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the tragedy and an official source said that sabotage or attack was unlikely to be involved.
El Pais newspaper cited sources close to the investigation as saying the train was travelling at over twice the speed limit on a sharp curve.
On Friday July 12, 2013, 6 people were killed in another train accident in France.

Pressure Cooker Bombs Suspected In Boston Marathon Explosions; Why?
17 04 2013The bomb explosions in Boston during the 117th Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013 had killed 3 people while more than 170 others were injured. (Please click here for the photos)
It is very sad to read about another mass killing in the United States of America.
The victims were eight years old Martin Richard, of Boston, twenty-nine years old Krystle Campbell, of Medford and a Chinese lady identified by the Shenyang Evening News as Lu Lingzi.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI investigating the area found a mangled pressure cooker and a torn black bag that the FBI said were part of a bomb.
Associated Press reported that FBI believes that at least one bomb and possibly both were built using pressure cookers as the superstructure, black powder or gunpowder as the explosive and ball bearings and nails as additional shrapnel.
It has evidence that indicates one of the bombs that exploded in the Boston Marathon was contained in a pressure cooker with nails and ball bearings, and it was hidden in a backpack, the FBI said.
Anyway they still didn't know who did it and why.
FBI agent in charge in Boston, Richard DesLauriers said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
It is very irresponsible for the ones who did this because they killed and hurt lots of innocent people for nothing.
I wonder why must people did this and for what reason?
If they are angry about something or demanded something, they should not use violence and caused so much trouble and sadness to other people.
If everybody who are unhappy about something, uses violence to get what they wanted, the world will not be a safe place to live in anymore.
Two wrongs will not make one right.
The people who did this must be adults because I do not think that children could do all these.
It is sad that adults who should be caring, responsible, protective, careful and 'should behave like an adult' have the heart to do all these for whatever reason.
There is no fool like and old fool, an adult should behave like an adult and protect the children and not hurt them.
I'm very sad and sorry for the victims, their families and friends especially to the family of Martin Richard, the youngest who was killed.
I hope that the adults in this world will learn to be responsible and behave like one.
Do not be proud of violence and street demonstrations because it will only destroy us all.

City to make late Kompany decision
Manchester City will check defender Vincent Kompany after training on Friday before deciding whether he can feature at Southampton on Saturday.
Kompany has been sidelined by a calf injury that was expected to keep him out until after next week's FA Cup fifth-round tie with Leeds.
However, the Blues skipper returned to training on Wednesday and could be available at St Mary's.
"We are optimistic," said manager Roberto Mancini on Friday.
"He trained yesterday, and two days ago. After today we will decide."
Mancini also confirmed Yaya and Kolo Toure will be available after Ivory Coast's earlier than expected exit from the African Cup of Nations.
"I am sorry because they didn't win but I am happy because they are here," said the Italian.
Mancini is refusing to accept his side are out of the Premier League title race, even though City have fallen nine points behind Manchester United.
However, he said City's hopes will be aided by United's continued progress in the Champions League, where they face Real Madrid on Wednesday.
"It is normal when you play against Real Madrid you can lose some strength," he said.
"I will be supporting United to go through."

Department of Humanities
Clear Float
This pane clears float!
About the Department and Majors
The UW-Platteville Department of Humanities offers the student an interdisciplinary field of study. As an academic field, the humanities focus upon understanding the human condition through the contemplation and practice of the liberal arts. Students cannot major in the humanities as such but only separately in English, philosophy, and foreign languages. Complementary minors in these fields are also available for students who seek to add a concentration in the humanities to any major they may have chosen. The humanities form a field of study that does not automaticallyprepare students for one career track (except for those majors and minors designated "education," which prepare students to teach in Wisconsin public schools). Most humanities majors and minors prepare students for a variety of careers. Humanities graduates primarily land jobs in business, government, freelancing environments, communication and publishing, teaching, and other employment sectors. Many students choose a major in one of the humanities programs in order to lay an excellent foundation for graduate school, including advanced degrees in English, foreign languages and philosophy, law school, communication studies, and careers in student services, business, nonprofit organizations, and humanitarian sectors. Students in the humanities also gain valuable experience from participation in exchanges with local and international schools, presentations at academic conferences, and professional organizations, as well as education-abroad programs.
Graduates with a degree in any of the humanities programs should be able to:
- effectively communicate orally and in writing, in English and ideally in a second language
- interpret and evaluate information from a variety of sources
- make complex intellectual connections across disciplines, cultures, and institutions
- transform information into knowledge, and knowledge into judgment and action
- demonstrate intellectual agility and the ability to manage change
- discern the ethical consequences of decisions and actions
- acquire a deep understanding of one's self, and respect for the complex identities of others, including diverse histories and cultures
- actively participate as citizens in a complex democracy and globalized world

Time sure flies...I can't believe we're already halfway through October. Are you gearing up for Halloween? Getting your costume ideas finalized? Let us know what's on your agenda in the comments. In the meantime, here are some news items I found interesting this week which could make for good small talk with friends.
- Trivia is always good for small talk, and this list of 20 corporate logos that contain secret messages is a good one to chat about.
- This story is gross and sad. A Florida man died after he won a (gulp!) cockroach-eating contest.
- Remember the movie Vacation? I love that type of humor. Well the cast did a reunion and talked about what it was like to make the film. (And is it just me, or do they all look really great?)
- A shortage on Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Say it isn't so!
- I've talked about the excitement of finding a message in a bottle. Well this story is the equivalent, except that it's a note in the coffee can found by a hiker. Interesting story, and would certainly make good small talk this week.

On Friday, Microsoft will launch its next-generation console, the Xbox One. If you've been paying attention to the games industry at all this year then you already knew that, and you also know all the blah, blah about TV features, the new UI, the improved Kinect camera, upgraded graphical power and the like. But if you've ever purchased a games console before — and since you're reading XBLAFans, chances are fairly high that you have — then you know that none of those things really matter when you get down to it. Sure, all of that stuff might be exciting, but games are what really matters.
One of the developers that's helping to round out the Xbox One's launch lineup is Twisted Pixel, a former indie studio now owned by Microsoft known by XBLAFans readers for bringing several great games to the XBLA platform. Twisted Pixel's launch title, LocoCycle, would have been an Xbox Live Arcade game had it been an Xbox 360 exclusive title; instead, it'll arrive first on Xbox One Friday before coming to the Xbox 360 at an unspecified future date. And since there is no XBLA on Xbox One, Twisted Pixel's goofy action game, which stars a sentient motorcycle with wheels that dish out martial arts attacks, will be sold in the Xbox One dashboard alongside of every other Xbox One game — not just those that sell for $20 or less.
XBLAFans caught up with Twisted Pixel Studio Director Mike Wilford and asked him what it was like working on a game for the Xbox One launch. "It's been cool! We obviously love console gaming and have been making console games for a long time now, but none of us have been involved in a launch before," Wilford tells XBLAFans via email. "It certainly has its challenges, but it's awesome to be a part of it."
We asked him if anything felt different about releasing a game alongside a major console launch, or if LocoCycle was a game release like any other. Although he called this release "a special occasion," he took care to point out that, of course, Twisted Pixel takes all of its game releases seriously. "But as a kid I would always be so excited to bring home a new system and spend hours with each launch game that celebrated the dawn of a new era of gaming with untold potential. Now we get to contribute to that feeling and it's so awesome!"

Rush Oxford Street Review: You by Rush
I love getting my hair done, especially when it includes a colour too – I love going in for a few hours, catching up on magazine gossip and basically getting away from it all (all the while, being made to feel that little bit prettier than you did when you came in) – but as much as I like that escape, sometimes a hair appointment needs to be convenient above all else. Rush is a chain of salons that I think manages to get a great balance between the escape/pampering experience and the convenience of getting something done that just needs doing.
The chain recently launched a new concept for the salons – following some in-depth customer research they came up with the idea of 'You by Rush'. The idea is basically that if you want to come in for a total image overhaul, or if you want to pop in for a quick trim or a blow dry – then they will listen and deliver what you want. Without being swayed by trends but at the same time staying ahead of fashion so if you come in looking for the latest look (say the latest version of the ombre look) then they know what you mean and will be able to do it for you.
I really like the concept – but at the heart of it is a very basic service. That you can go in, feel comfortable to ask for what you want and leave feeling happy with the result. I went along to my appointment at the Oxford Street branch (between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road station) with an open mind, but wanting a bit of a refreshed look.
My stylist, Jo – was lovely – she listened well to what I wanted and talked through options. Initially I was keen to go darker at the roots to try and enhance/create a bit of an ombre look. My roots are naturally a little darker as my natural colour is a slightly darker blonde but whilst I (think I )can see the difference – most people can't tell the difference at all. My idea was to get my natural hair darker so the grown out highlights/lighter bits create more of a contrast.
Which could all be done, but Jo was really helpful in pointing out that whilst it could be done – it is a high maintenance change as firstly, the darker bits do naturally wash out quickly and the colour that does stay would mean when my lighter roots grow through I would have an odd look of darker hair, lighter roots…As soon as I heard the words 'high maintenance' I knew it wasn't the look for me. So Jo suggested going for a few fine highlights in the top, so I subtly brighten up the colour and then some chunks of lighter colour underneath to get the brighter ends. So that's what I went for.
I should probably note again here, that whilst I could tell the difference – the colour is subtle. More of a brighter look rather than notable colour change. It's kinda the downside of being a blonde and wanting to stay blonde – but still look different…
But beyond my colour choices there are a few other details that make Rush strike that special balance between convenience and pampering:
Convenient – Lots of locations, near tube stations all over London
Pampering – The head massage & offer of treatments in the washing area
Convenient – You can book on line (where there's also often offers for reduced prices)
Pampering – Drinks and nibbles. Need I say more (I had juice as it was early morning, but there's also wine)
See, such a good balance between convenience and luxury. Love the whole You by Rush concept – at the end of the day it's all about being listened to and going in and leaving feeling comfortable.

I must admit my eye was drawn straight to the pretzels ha! I love the basic concept behind the Rush brand, it's what all hairdressers should be striving to achieve yet I bet you could phone some salons and they wouldn't even know what ombre was! Lovely little post – would of been lovely to see a picture of your hair afterwards.

Golf Instruction
Master the most difficult shots and learn long drive secrets with our golf instruction articles. Our online golf lessons will help you transform your game.
Monday, February 14, 2005 Red-Letter DaysUse the alphabet to groove a solid, power-rich, accurate swingGood days and not-so-good days on the course are part of golf, creating the personal challenge avid players crave. For most golfers, good rounds are those defined by solid ballstriking with ideal direction, distance and trajectory. It's these special red-letter days—the days when golf seems effortless—that every golfer wants more often. |
Monday, February 14, 2005 Bermuda BluesIf you're planning a golf vacation this winter, be prepared to face a course element common to most tracks in Hawaii, Arizona and Florida: Bermuda grass. If you're not accustomed to playing on this type of turf, you may be surprised at how it can affect your game, both on the fairway and the putting surface. |
Monday, February 14, 2005 Three Needs For SpeedLike a high-performance engine that stalls when it leaks oil, water or fuel, a golf swing comes to an idling stop when the potential energy created in the backswing is emptied well before impact. Here are three tips to help keep power from leaking out of your game and also add horsepower to your motion. |
Monday, November 1, 2004 Straight Arms After ImpactThere's only one time during the swing when both arms are straight, and that's just after impact. It's a key checkpoint that you can use to determine the quality of your swing, since fully extended arms following contact signify that your arms and body are in sync. |
Monday, November 1, 2004 Three Speeds For Less Three-PuttsMost recreational golfers don't spend as much time on the practice putting green as they should, and when they do make the effort to roll a few balls for improvement's sake, it's usually done without purpose. Practice is most effective when you have a specific focus or goal and it's the only method to truly improve your putting technique—and to easily drop a few strokes per round. The following Three-Speed Drill is a purposeful method for doing just that by involving four key areas of successful putting: green reading, concentration, speed control and accuracy. |
Monday, November 1, 2004 Greenside Magic25 Best Short-Game Tips Ever!If you think back to your last good round of golf, odds are you'll envision a number of solid drives and approach shots. We bet you'll also remember making a few excellent par saves or maybe draining a birdie putt or two you normally would have no business making. And if you recount your last poor round of golf, it's likely you'll conjure images of errant drives and sloppy iron shots, combined with recovery attempts that failed to get you on the green and into the hole. For low scores, the short game is key. |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Swing Extremes: Impact PositionAll good players have one position in the golf swing that's similar despite their very different-looking swings. This position is impact. Good players retain their wrist-cock through the hitting area so that their left wrist is bowed and the right wrist is flexed (for right-handed golfers), and both hands are slightly in front of the golf ball at the strike. |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Pull The TriggerGreat swings begin with great startsMany of my new students ask me about how to correctly initiate the golf swing. They want to know what trigger will allow them to start their motions smoothly and on the correct path. This common question comes from those who suffer from a condition that plagues everyone, from novices to touring professionals. I like to call it "paralysis by analysis." |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Right Vs. Right On!Is your swing a slice swing or a solid swing?Here we go again. Yes, another "fix your slice" feature, which says a lot about the banana ball—it's not going away. For some golfers, that left-to-right ballflight never seems to disappear, and for those new to the game, it represents the first true taste of golf-related frustration. While I'm sure you've heard your fair share of anti-slice tips, this story approaches fixing a slice in unique fashion. Position by position, I'll compare the components of a solid swing to those typically associated with a slice, plus a corresponding fix. |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Match The CirclesGood golfers give the impression that their forearms suddenly cross over through impact, but the swing is so fast that it fools the eye. What little forearm roll there is begins in the backswing with a gentle clockwise rotation of both forearms, a motion that reverses itself as the club swings back to the golf ball. |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Sweet Spot: Jerry KellySolid short-game performance is key for any competitive golfer, and an absolute must for those fortunate enough to play on the PGA Tour. Jerry Kelly, who ranked 16th in scoring average with nearly $1.5 million in earnings after 15 events (as of mid-July) knows this fact well, as illustrated by his proficiency at saving par after missing a green in regulation (he currently is second on Tour in scrambling). |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Cure Your Bunker BluesBunkers elicit a common reaction from most recreational golfers. That reaction is fear—fear of leaving the ball in the bunker, fear of blasting it over the green, fear of looking foolish, etc.—and it stems from misunderstanding how a sand wedge is designed to function. |
Sunday, August 1, 2004 Three Keys To Longer DrivesIf your driving suffers from inconsistency and a lack of distance, you may be tied up with too many thoughts about swing mechanics. Free your mind at address and focus on a specific target in the fairway where you want the ball to land. Then let your natural instincts take over. Swing the clubhead to that target, making an athletic move through the ball. |
Thursday, July 1, 2004 Face The FactsVisualize slice and hook causes to eliminate them for goodThe precision required to hit an absolutely straight golf shot is so great that, for all intents and purposes, such shots don't exist. For that very reason, every golfer is either a hooker or a slicer. You may only hook or slice a little at times, but your shots do have a pattern. Even the game's best players favor a fade or draw. |
Thursday, July 1, 2004 25 ShotsA tee-to-green guide to great score-saving playsShotmaking is a broad term and one that's typically reserved for highly skilled players. Yet all golfers, even those who have a tough time breaking 90, should consider themselves shotmakers. Face it, the game of golf constantly demands a degree of creativity, and unless you play on a perfectly flat course with no rough, no hazards and no undulations on the greens, you have to be ready with a variety of plays—just to get through a single round. |
Thursday, July 1, 2004 Lead With The LeftGolfers who possess the ability to hammer 300-yard drives like clockwork often talk about the importance of "firing the right side" through impact. That's all well and good, but it's also somewhat misleading. The right side doesn't serve as an initiator in the downswing; it's a reactor. The right side of the body doesn't "fire" as such; it responds to a proper sequence of motion initiated by the left side. |
Thursday, July 1, 2004 Tee It High To Cure Your SliceIf you can't hit your woods off the tee—or when you do hit them, the ball slices uncontrollably—chances are that your downswing is too steep. The reason this occurs is that the clubface can't return to square when it comes down so vertically, and the open clubface creates a slice. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Flaws And Fixes 2004Cure common faults by getting to the sourceEven golfers with technically sound swings make mistakes due to poor execution or bad decision-making. But on the whole, golfers with solid mechanics are able to consistently play solid shots because their technique allows them to do so. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Floating Heads That Swivel, TooYou hear it all the time, especially during golf telecasts: "Look how still Freddy keeps his head," or "Jack has made a career out of keeping his head still." The trouble is, when you put the videotape in slow motion, the heads of good players do move. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Sweet Spot: Davis Love IIIDavis Love III is that rare breed of golfer who enters every tournament with a great chance to win. One of the reasons for this is his prowess with the driver. Last year, Love averaged 299 yards off the tee and notched a Total Driving ranking (accuracy plus distance) of 26, which fueled four wins and paychecks totaling $6 million. With such length off the tee, hitting greens in regulation—the most important scoring indicator—becomes a less daunting task. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Separate At The TopThere are many different ways to generate extra power in the golf swing, and here's one of the best: create maximum extension of the arms at the top. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Dare To FlareFlexibility is a critical element in the golf swing and should play a significant role in determining what type of setup you adopt. In particular, the position of the left foot is strongly impacted by flexibility level. This is key, because left-foot positioning can affect several swing characteristics, including backswing length, hip turn and subsequent torso rotation through the ball. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Five Steps To Up And DownIt's been well documented that a solid short game is the key to consistently shooting lower scores. A vital part of the short-game mix is the "finesse shot," typically from within 100 yards of the green. On a finesse shot, your mindset must be quite different from that applied to the full swing. For example, when hitting a shot with a full swing, your goal is to hit the ball as hard and far as possible. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Swing Extremes: Foot ActionSkilled golfers know that true power results from the upper body coiling over the resistance of the lower body, and that the key to this is establishing good footwork. Typical modern-day pros are flexible enough to get the upper body behind the ball without having to lift the left foot off the ground. Instead, they shift their weight to the inside of the right foot as the left foot rolls slightly inward, allowing the left knee to rotate behind the ball. From this position, they shift weight laterally on the downswing, pushing off the ground with the right foot. |
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Know When To Fold 'EmAdd closed and open-faced shots to your short-game arsenalThe plethora of multiple wedge offerings is fantastic. They've made extinct the old saying "a sand wedge is the only wedge a good player needs." That adage came from Greg Norman, who I bet has added a lob wedge to his set since. Nevertheless, despite owning the tools for hitting any number of specific yardages from 125 yards and in, most short shots you'll face will require something much different than a full swing from one of the two or three wedges in your bag. |

Historic Bendigo mansion Fortuna Villa sold... again
It didn't exactly sell to the highest bidder, but at least it has sold. Bendigo's historic mansion, Fortuna Villa, is now in the hands of another buyer, after the sale to the buyer who purchased it from the Defence Department at auction last month fell through.

The new owner is local businessman Paul Banks, who says he wants to make it available to the public and turn it into a boutique hotel, tea rooms and a tourist attraction.
"The most important thing is to open it up to the public. It's got to be on display, one way or another.
"There will be development, of course, which we are looking forward to talking to the [Bendigo] council about," he says.
Mr Banks says he also wants to work with the Villa Fortuna Action Group, and that he's willing to put the money in to restore the building to its former glory, and demolish some of the "eye sore" buildings that surround it, as well as subdividing some of the land off.
While he will reveal he paid between $2 and $3 million, he says he's going to keep the final sale price confidential.
"The property is priceless. I just see opportunity," he says.
Meanwhile, Labor's Federal Member for Bendigo, Steve Gibbons, says he hopes the sale brings the uncertainty about Fortuna's future to an end.
"People need to remember that this is a saga that's been going close to five years... I congratulate the new owners."
He says the Defence Department would be "relieved" to have finally sold the property.
Elise Chapman is the Bendigo councillor who went on a hunger strike to try to keep the property in public hands.
She says that while she's disappointed that Fortuna Villa is no longer in public hands, she wishes the new buyer the best of luck.
"Any application that he puts forward has to meet the criteria (but) nobody's going to stand in his way as far as I know," she says.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Broncos linebacker Von Miller received a six-game suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy Tuesday, taking away the best defensive player from a team many expect to make a run at the Super Bowl.
The league wanted a longer penalty for the third-year linebacker, but the sides agreed to less than half the season, a person familiar with the negotiations between the linebacker and the NFL told The Associated Press.
The person who spoke to the AP did not want to be identified because details about the negotiations were not public.
Broncos executive vice president John Elway said the team was frustrated with what happened "and, I think, disappointed in Von."
"We'll live with that decision," Elway said. "What I'd like to do is try to do everything we can to prevent any other situations."
According to the NFL, Miller is eligible to play and practice through the last two preseason games. His suspension, without pay, will begin Aug. 31, and will cost him more than $800,000 of the nearly $2.3 million he's scheduled to make this season.
He'll be allowed at the team facility, but not at practice during the suspension. He can return to the field Oct. 14, the day after Denver's home game against Jacksonville, and will be eligible for an Oct. 20 contest at the Indianapolis Colts.
After being notified of the decision, Miller released a statement saying, "although my suspension doesn't result from a positive test, there is no excuse for my violations of the rules."
"I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself," he said. "I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others. I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future. "
The NFL has two drug policies -- one that covers use of performance-enhancing substances and the "Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse" that applied to Miller's case.
Trade is voided
BEREA -- The Browns are back in the market for a right guard. John Moffitt came and went in one day.
Cleveland voided its trade with Seattle for Moffitt on Tuesday, revoking the deal because of health concerns for the third-year lineman who has undergone knee and elbow surgeries the past two seasons.
Needing an experienced right guard with starter Shawn Lauvao and Jason Pinkston sidelined with ankle injuries, the Browns acquired Moffitt Monday from the Seahawks for defensive lineman Brian Sanford. Moffitt excitedly spoke to reporters about a new start in Cleveland on Tuesday and even took the practice field in uniform with his helmet before he was escorted off by Browns coach Rob Chudzinski.
Later, the 6-foot-4, 319-pound Moffitt was traded to Denver, which sent defensive tackle Sealver Siliga to Seattle.
By nullifying the deal for Moffitt, the Browns retain their rights to Sanford. He has spent the past two years bouncing between the practice squad and Cleveland's active roster.
Moffitt started nine games as a rookie in 2011 before tearing a knee ligament and undergoing season-ending surgery. He had an operation on his elbow last season before starting Seattle's final six games and helping the Seahawks make the playoffs.
The Browns, which named Brandon Weeden the starting quarterback a day earlier, are in a bind at guard with Lauvao and Pinkston both expected to miss more than one month. Unless they acquire another player, the Browns may start the season with rookie Garrett Gilkey, a left tackle in college, at right guard.
Familiar face
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions lost one of their three starting linebackers in free agency. His likely replacement will be a familiar face.
Ashlee Palmer, who saw plenty of action on special teams last season, will join Stephen Tulloch and DeAndre Levy in the middle of the defense this fall. He replaces starter Justin Durant, who's now battling for a job in Dallas.
"Some people might not realize I've been here four years now," Palmer said Tuesday. "Being in this system has helped me learn it a lot more."
The lead trio also has been helping a largely inexperienced group get acclimated this summer. Aside from the presumed starters, only Travis Lewis and Tahir Whitehead were on the field for an NFL snap in 2012.
Losing patience
PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin is running out of patience. Even worse, his team is running out of running backs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers muddled through another listless preseason performance on Monday night, losing to the Washington Redskins 24-13 that did little to allay the coach's concerns with three weeks to go before the games start to count.
"We need to get better in a hurry," Tomlin said. And get healthy too.
Rookie running back Le'Veon Bell's professional debut lasted all of four carries before he left with a sprained right foot. Fullback Will Johnson followed him to the sideline with a rib injury while Baron Batch sustained a stinger after taking a particularly vicious hit.
The trio joined Isaac Redman, who sat out as a precaution after suffering a stinger in practice, on an increasingly crowded training table.
While Tomlin expects Johnson, Batch and Redman to return soon, Bell's status won't be determined until later. The second-round draft pick was scheduled to undergo an MRI on the foot Tuesday and a determination won't be made until later in the week on his availability for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Vick named starter
PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick took a pay cut and had to compete for his job when he returned to the Eagles.
Part of the choice had to do with the up-tempo offense mapped out by new coach Chip Kelly.
"I just thought," Vick said, "this was the best opportunity, the best fit for me."
Turns out, Vick was the best fit for Kelly.
With his first chance to put his stamp on Philadelphia's offense, Kelly named Vick the starting quarterback on Tuesday, giving the veteran the nod over Nick Foles after a sterling effort in the preseason.
"He's our starter for the season," Kelly said. "It's not a one-game trial basis."
PUP is option
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jonathan Stewart will miss his third straight preseason game Thursday night at Baltimore and Panthers coach Ron Rivera isn't ruling out the possibility of putting the running back on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
If that happens, Stewart would miss at least the first six weeks of the season.
"At this point anything is an option," Rivera said following Tuesday's practice. "What you're hoping is you can get him on the football field and we'll see once the doctor gets a chance to look at him."
Stewart, who's battling back from surgery on both ankles, is continuing to work with trainers on the side but is keeping a close eye on the plays being run during practice.
He has yet to practice with the team.
Cards ink Thomas
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals have signed Mike Thomas, a day after the former University of Arizona standout was released by the Detroit Lions.
Thomas joins a team searching for a No. 4 receiver behind the top three of Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts.
The 5-foot-8 Thomas has 176 receptions for 1,796 yards in 61 NFL games since being drafted in the fourth round by Jacksonville in 2009. He led the Jaguars in receptions in 2010 and 2011. He was traded to the Lions after seven games last season.
None of the other top competitors for the Cardinals' fourth receiver spot has any NFL game experience.
Hawkins in boot
CINCINNATI -- Bengals receiver Andrew Hawkins is expected to miss the last two preseason games because of a sprained ankle, leaving him a candidate to wind up on injured reserve.
Hawkins sprained his left ankle while trying to make a catch on Aug. 1, and it was placed in a cast. Coach Marvin Lewis says Tuesday that Hawkins will get the cast off this week so the ankle can be examined and he can start therapy, But he'll be in a protective boot for a couple of weeks so that he doesn't aggravate the injury. T
eams can designate one player on injured reserve during the preseason who may return during the season once healthy.

This is a public service announcement: if you're in need of any kind of spell, potion, psychic reading, or enchantment and prefer to procure your magical products via an online auction site, you best place your bids before August 30th. Why, you ask? Well, eBay just updated the seller guidelines in the paranormal and metaphysical categories and banned the sale of potions, spells, and psychic readings. The new rules take effect on August 30th, which means less than 10 days until you're cut off from your favorite potion Power Seller. I would suggest trying your local neighborhood witch or wizard, but I'm not sure if they accept PayPal. Maybe it's time to DIY your own potions? There's bound to be some good recipes on Pinterest… [Mashable]

Bartenders Claim Pervy Ghost Likes To Pinch Their Butts
Talk about sexual harassment in the workplace: Bartenders at a pub in the UK say someone in their bar is indiscriminately pinching their butts. But it's not a patron whose getting grabby … it's a ghost. Both male and female staff at The Queens Arms in Birmingham report feeling "a very firm pinch" which happens "day and night." They assume it's from a "small, bald, smartly-dressed" phantom who haunts the 170-year-old pub, moving chairs, singing and causing mysterious puffs of smoke. Explained the manager, in adorable British parlance, "You turn round, but there's no one there. It's most off-putting." Most off-putting, indeed! And wily, too. At least if a drunken patron was getting fresh there would be some sort of physical entity to slap. [Daily Mail UK]
Ghostly Groping, Reptilian Romp & Sasquatch Assault: 6 Sexual Encounters Of The Third Kind
A couple of weeks ago we heard about a family who witnessed some ghosts getting freaky in their living room, but at least those humping haunts had the decency to keep their phantasmagorical paws to themselves. UK woman, Doris Birch, isn't quite so lucky. For the last four months, the 73-year-old grandmother claims that she has been groped nightly by a ghost. "It's like an octopus … I was lying in bed when I felt this creepy pair of hands. I kicked frantically and it went away. Next time it came I hurled the duvet on to the floor!" she said of her visitor. It's obvious that she's dealing with an incubus, a male demon that lies upon sleeping women and tries to have sex with them. Or she is suffering from dementia. Either one. Keep on clicking for more stories of (alleged) sexual encounters of the third kind. [Huffington Post]

Publisher's Description
Paperback Edition Coming in January 2014
How long does it take to make a difference in the life of a child?
For good or for ill, individual moments in a young person's life can make all the difference in their future. It may be something said or done by an adult who hardly thinks about it: a hug, a compliment, an intriguing question, a sincere applause. But in that moment, the child discovers who they are, what is important to them, why they matter, and sometimes even what their destiny will be. Most of us want to help encourage and build into this next generation, most of us see the need all around, but we just have no idea where to begin.
Now, with this book, you know where to begin and you know that it only takes Just a Minute. Follow along as Dr. Wess Stafford, president of Compassion International, shares stories and experiences to introduce you to the difference you can actually make anywhere on the spectrum of child development. From helping meet physical needs to breaking down emotional barriers and from discovering latent talents to equipping with spiritual insights, these stories are a catalyst for action.
You don't have to be a teacher, a parent, a pastor, or a doctor to make a difference in the life of a child. You only have to be willing!

Customer Kahuna AKUS-0029L Watch Reviews (1)
by - written on 15/03/12 (Very useful, 98 readings)
I don't wear watches very often but when I do I like them to be individual and hard wearing. I don't go in for the sparkly stones, my husband wanted to buy me a gold watch but I think that they look tacky; I prefer my watches to be nice looking but tough. Which is why the Kahuna range of watches caught my eye, they are distinctive, individual and hard wearing. The watch I have got is the Kahuna Ladies brown Cuff Strap Watch AKUS-0029L, I brought it from Hinds the jewellers in October 2010 and it cost £34.99, it currently retails on amazon.co.uk for £19.29 + postage. Which I think is quite a bargain. The watch comes in a padded zip up pouch, I ... Read the complete review
