A remarkably versatile actor whose chilling breakthrough performance as a pedophile in Todd Solondz's Happiness (1998) rocketed him to instant recognition among film critics and art-house patrons, straight-faced actor Dylan Baker has been appearing on-stage and in television and film since the early '80s. While his early stage training led him to numerous performances on and off-Broadway, Baker gained increasing screen presence with memorable roles in such films as The Cell (2000) and Along Came a Spider (2001). Born to a pair of lawyers in Syracuse, VA, and raised in nearby Lynchburg, Baker attended Georgetown Prep and William and Mary College before earning his B.F.A. at Southern Methodist University, where his passion for acting was ignited with numerous stage roles. Later refining his talents at Yale's School of Drama, Baker continued to develop his skills and earn positive critical notice before making his television debut in A Case of Deadly Force (1986). After making the leap to film with a small role in Planes, Trains and Automobiles the following year, Baker would continue to gain momentum on the big screen with memorably humorous turns minus hair and teeth in Delirious (1991), and as a prince entranced under the spell of Sandra Bullock in Love Potion No. 9 (1992). The mid-'90s found the increasingly busy actor dividing his time between stage, screen, and television, and Baker would soon wed actress Becky Ann Baker (the couple later appeared together in Woody Allen's Celebrity [1998]). A successful stage performance of La Bete found Baker nominated for Tony and Drama Desk Awards, and Baker and his wife continued to develop a close association with New York's Drama Department theater troupe. Following his remarkable performance in Happiness, offers began flowing in and Baker would appear in a number of high-profile films such as Random Hearts, The Cell, and Thirteen Days (all 2000). Continuing the trend in 2001 with memorable turns in The Tailor of Panama and Along Came a Spider, Baker's career trajectory seemed to ensure interesting roles for years to come.

DescriptionDevil's Tower crams a high concentration of great cracks into the smallest area possible. People come from around the world to climb on this unique wonder. Climbing is sustained, and cracks are beautiful and uniformly shaped. Essentially, there is a crack every 5 or 10 feet, and they mostly run perfectly up and down, which reduces rope drag. The majority of the tower is less than vertical, and faces are blank. There are few face climbs, but who needs them with all these splitter cracks? Getting ThereDrive to Sundance, Wyoming, and then take highway 24 north from I-90. Just follow the signs, and drive towards the big chunk or stone. Turn into the monument and pay the entrance fee. Then continue to the visitor's center. From here, make sure to register for the climb (this is free - used for record keeping and rescues, etc.). Then, approaches differ by route from here.

This climb has one of the more interesting pitches at the tower. The first pitch is essentially an approach pitch, but still fun (5.5). The second pitch is a long seam that is a full rope length. This originally was only possible as an aid climb, but as people kept putting larger pitons in old pin scars, the seam widened up enough to jam two fingers in each slot. Pins are no longer used, and this is currently a free climb. For the third pitch, climb a short 5.4 section to the meadows.This r...[more] Browse More Classics in WY

With the advent of smart phones and dozens of other multi-tasking gadgets manufactured with tiny onboard digital cameras, taking a photograph these days is about the easiest thing in the world.
The trouble is that most snapshots produced with such devices are really bad.
That's because a bank of default auto-settings − focus, exposure, field-of-view and so forth − is no substitute for the human brain and genuine knowledge about how to set up a real camera and compose a memorable shot, what professionals call "making a picture."
Such principles are exactly what seventh-graders at St. Gregory's School have been learning about this spring, using a couple of mid-grade digital cameras and some imaging software to create a collection of really remarkable photos.
In leading the 11 students through the photographic process St. Gregory's technology teacher Cheryl Cornell took on one of the more difficult and fulfilling challenges faced by any instructor − translating skills and machines and theory − and a little math − into art and beauty and creativity.
During the two-week photography unit, Cornell helped her middle school-age students explore such concepts as white balance, macro close-ups, juxtaposition, f-stops and shutter speed.
It's an annual exercise for Cornell designed in part to give next year's eighth-graders the skills they'll need to produce the St. Gregory's yearbook. But this year's crop of students displayed such enthusiasm and promise, that she expanded the photo lesson into a juried contest in which the youngsters were asked to submit their best work in eight different image categories ranging from the artistic to the downright technical.
One of the more challenging assignments was to record an image whose composition represented a Fibonacci Spiral, a design, that is, based on the Fibonacci series of numbers, which begins with one plus one and continues by adding the two numbers that come before each result − one plus one is two, two plus one is three, three plus two is five, and so forth.
OK, so the Fibonacci series isn't so much about photography per se, but it is a pretty cool thing to know.
Given the overall quality of the dozens of images taken by students for the competition, Cornell decided she needed an expert to serve as judge. That was an easy call, since her son, Maryville High School alumnus Galen Gibson-Cornell, is a University of Wisconsin graduate student in fine arts and soon-to-be Fulbright Scholar set to begin studying in Budapest, Hungary, later this summer.
After carefully evaluating all the submissions, Gibson-Cornell selected Peter Kempf's moving backlit photograph of a boy reading a large Bible in front of a stained glass window as best-in-show. Runner-up ribbons went to Madison Holtman's artistic macro close-up of some otherwise unidentifiable electronics and Dustin Conover's whimsical juxtaposed photo of classmate Sabrina Olson, shown arching her hands over her head so that she appears to be holding up a large tree.
Page 2 of 2 - The trouble with contests is that not everybody can win, but Cornell said she came away impressed with the work submitted by all 11 students. The only downside, she said, were the limits placed on the class by a lack of good equipment − a couple of fairly inexpensive digital cameras with fixed lenses, one of which quit working midway through the unit.
Since St. Gregory's survives on parent-paid tuition and donations, the fate of the photo unit next year likely depends on generosity. So, if anyone has a couple of nice Canon EOS Rebel T3i's laying around, let Cornell know. When it comes to the kinds of great photos her kids learn to take, a cell phone just isn't going to cut it.

The theater reopened yesterday, with dozens of first responders such as Hawkins attending the ceremony, which was followed by a private screening of the fantasy film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Several families of shooting victims boycotted what they called a callous public-relations ploy by the theater's owner, Cinemark.

Pop's influence still guiding Brown
The recent San Antonio Spurs game against the Philadelphia 76ers presented the Spurs' head coach and players with much more than just another stop on an east coast road trip.
Unlike this time last year, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich had to look across the sideline to the other bench to see a familiar face that had been by his side for seven years.
Instead of huddling up with Pop and the other coaches during timeouts while they discussed what Popovich would end up diagramming on a grease board for the players, Brown was on the other bench leading his own group of coaches and players.

(Video) Former Spur Dennis Rodman hurls some f-bombs towards Kobe Bryant
Former San Antonio Spurs forward Dennis Rodman was or possibly is still the best rebounder that graced the NBA. Not much of a scorer, Rodman's antics on the floor is what made him fun to watch and possibly annoyed fans as well as players. It was not the 'I don't care attitude" he had on the floor that drew many to like him, it was also how he spoke his mind on many things.
He has since been retired for many years now and when he is not hanging with his bff Kim Jun Yun, "The Worm" still loves to talk and is as flamboyant as ever. This go around, he hurls out some harsh language towards a former teammate of his, Kobe Bryant. Who would of known he had beef with Bryant.
no commentsVideo: Behind-the-scenes making of the Spurs HEB Commercials
You know them, you love them. I am taking about the funny HEB commercials staring San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Kawhi Leonard.
The recent round of commercials have Manu and Tony acting like rich barons eating steaks to Parker handing out salsa to his teammates including Matt Bonner.
Check out the making of these wacky commercials including some hilarious out takes.
no commentsAs Duncan rests, Spurs carry on to 5th straight win with victory over 76ers
Seven days ago the San Antonio Spurs had begun a sequence of five games in seven nights with a win in Denver. From there they would travel from the Rockies back down to San Antonio for a few games at home before traveling up to the East coast where they would defeat the New York Knicks by 31 points on Sunday.
Monday, with a matchup against former Spurs assistant Brett Brown and the upstart Philadelphia 76ers, the Spurs would look to win their 5th game in a row, though they would be without forward Tim Duncan who sat out of the game for rest.
Fast-forward to 48 minutes of play and the number 55 sticks out. Why, 55 stands for the number of points the Spurs have won by in the last two days as the Spurs defeated the 76ers in Philly by 24 points 109-85.
no commentsPopovich: Military Vets Not Properly Honored
When asked to describe San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich the most common words would be gruff, intimidating and non-cooperative. Anyone who has seen his one line in between quarter interviews would compare him to a bully or someone with a disdain for the media.
Popovich tends to believe that less is more when it comes to dealing with the media. So when he does speak/interact with the media, it is with a purpose and given the right topic he can really chew a person ear off.
no commentsGameday Q&A: Philadelphia 76ers
With tonight's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers looming, I talked to Carey Smith of philadunkia.com to preview tonight's game, a second game of a back-to-back against the Spurs that will reunite former coach Brett Brown with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Here's what we'll be looking for tonight. Check out my answers to Carey's questions on Philadunkia.
1. As we talked about on the Q&A on your site, the underlying story is Brett Brown coaching on the other sideline. As someone who follows the 76ers closely, what's your early analysis on Brown through the first few games and do you see any similarities in his system to the Spurs' system?
no comments5 things to watch: Spurs vs. 76ers
The San Antonio Spurs (6-1) will look to extend their winning streak to five tonight as they visit the Philadelphia 76ers (4-3).
The Spurs are coming off a 120-89 blowout win over the Knicks in New York. Danny Green paced the Spurs with 24 points and 10 rebounds while connecting on 6-of-9 three-pointers.
The 76ers are coming off a 125-127 double-overtime loss versus the Cavaliers. Evan Turner led Philly with 31 points in the loss.
And as the Spurs look to keep up their winning ways early this season, here are five things to watch for during tonight's game:
• Over the past two games, 76ers' Thaddeus Young is averaging 22.5 points on 63.3% shooting.

Precanceled Stamps
Precanceled stamps are special stamps that come in small denominations and are specifically for Presorted First-Class Mail and Standard Mail mailings. Mailers apply these special stamps to envelopes at a lower postage price (say, 10 cents) and pay the difference when they drop off the mail at the Post Office. The business mail entry unit clerk can help you fill out your postage statement to calculate how much you still owe. You can pay that difference with a check, a meter strip, or through a postage account.

The contrast between the priorities of the developed and developing world was as clear as night and day.
"It is detrimental to not have adequate family planning resources," a visibly upset US delegate told the room. "Why is there a resistance to acknowledging access to family planning as a necessity?"
The soft-spoken delegate from the small island nation of St. Lucia replied, "How do we get our fertility rate to rise? We were told we needed to reduce our fertility rate –now we have an aging population."
Both voices spoke out during a UN panel hosted last week by the Holy See, Honduras, and Malta called "Secure Human Development: Marriage, Family, Community." Laurie Shestack-Phipps, a US representative to the UN, castigated the Holy See and other organizers for not being "comprehensive" in their approach to the panel, specifically mentioning family planning and abortion. She complained further about high fertility rates in the poor countries of Africa.
Shestack-Phipps said, "How can you say that you value family, community, and marriage, but not bring into the picture that both men and women have a right to a healthy life, to be able to avoid unsafe abortion, and have access to the highest attainable standard of reproductive health, and to decide how many children they should have?"
The exchange between Shestack and of St. Lucia points up an irony at the UN. One the one side are rich countries demanding poor countries reduce their fertility rates and the poor countries saying they need higher fertility rates for not just development but survival. Almost half the countries in the world are facing what has come to be known as demographic winter, where fertility rates have fallen so dramatically that populations are rapidly aging.
The US delegate's castigation on family planning, which ignored the demographic realities and actual desires of developing countries, is a microcosm of the current UN debates on population and development. The documents that guide this year's Commission on Population and Development admit that most nations have achieved low fertility, yet the UN continues to ask donor nations for more and more money for family planning services and for what the UN euphemistically calls commodities: condoms, pills, and injectibles that prevent pregnancy.

Almost all infants are fussy at times. But some are excessively fussy because they have an allergy to the protein in cow's milk, which is the basis for most commercial baby formulas.
A person of any age can have a milk allergy, but it's more common among infants (about 2% to 3% of babies), though most outgrow it.
If you think that your child has a milk allergy, talk with your doctor about testing and alternatives to milk-based formulas and dairy products.
A milk allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly sees the milk protein as something the body should fight off. This starts an allergic reaction, which can cause an infant to be fussy and irritable, and cause an upset stomach and other symptoms. Most kids who are allergic to cow's milk also react to goat's milk and sheep's milk, and some of them are also allergic to the protein in soy milk.
Infants who are breastfed have a lower risk of developing a milk allergy than those who are formula fed. But researchers don't fully understand why some develop a milk allergy and others don't, though it's believed that in many cases, the allergy is genetic.
Typically, a milk allergy goes away on its own by the time a child is 3 to 5 years old, but some kids never outgrow it.
A milk allergy is not the same thing as lactose intolerance , the inability to digest the sugar lactose, which is rare in infants and more common among older kids and adults.
Symptoms of cow's milk protein allergy will generally appear within the first few months of life. An infant can experience symptoms either very quickly after feeding (rapid onset) or not until 7 to 10 days after consuming the cow's milk protein (slower onset).
The slower-onset reaction is more common. Symptoms may include loose stools (possibly containing blood), vomiting, gagging, refusing food, irritability or colic, and skin rashes. This type of reaction is more difficult to diagnose because the same symptoms may occur with other health conditions. Most children will outgrow this form of allergy by 2 years of age.
Rapid-onset reactions come on suddenly with symptoms that can include irritability, vomiting, wheezing, swelling, hives, other itchy bumps on the skin, and bloody diarrhea. In rare cases, a potentially severe allergic reaction ( anaphylaxis ) can occur and affect the baby's skin, stomach, breathing, and blood pressure. Anaphylaxis is more common with other food allergies than with milk allergy.
If you suspect that your infant is allergic to milk, call your doctor, who'll ask about any family history of allergies or food intolerance and then do a physical exam. There's no single lab test to accurately diagnose a milk allergy, so your doctor might order several tests to make the diagnosis and rule out any other health problems.
In addition to a stool test and a blood test, the doctor may order an allergy skin test, in which a small amount of the milk protein in inserted just under the surface of the child's skin with a needle. If a raised spot called a wheal emerges, the child may have a milk allergy.
The doctor may also request an oral challenge test. After you stop feeding your baby milk for about a week, the doctor will have the infant consume milk, then wait for a few hours to watch for any allergic reaction. Sometimes doctors repeat this test to reconfirm the diagnosis.
If your infant has a milk allergy and you are breastfeeding, it's important to restrict the amount of dairy products that you ingest because the milk protein that's causing the allergic reaction can cross into your breast milk. You may want to talk to a dietician about finding alternative sources of calcium and other vital nutrients to replace what you were getting from dairy products.
All food makers must clearly state on package labels whether the foods contain milk or milk-based products, indicating this in or next to the ingredient list on the packaging. This law applies only to foods packaged after the start of 2006, so some foods packaged before then may not have any information about food allergens.
If you're formula-feeding, your doctor may advise you to switch to a soy protein-based formula. If your infant can't tolerate soy, the doctor may have you switch to a hypoallergenic formula, one in which the proteins are broken down into particles so that the formula is less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
Two major types of hypoallergenic formulas are available:
"Partially hydrolyzed" formulas also are on the market, but aren't considered truly hypoallergenic and can still provoke a significant allergic reaction.
The formulas available in the market today are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and created through a very specialized process that cannot be duplicated at home. Goat's milk, rice milk, or almond milks are not safe and are not recommended for infants.
Once you switch your baby to another formula, the symptoms of the allergy should go away in 2 to 4 weeks. Your doctor will probably recommend that you continue with a hypoallergenic formula up until the baby's first birthday, then gradually introducing cow's milk into his or her diet.
If you have any questions or concerns, talk with your doctor.

PS4 in the house on launch day. Nice to get my hands on it first in EU. For now it has blown past my expectations.

Mainly just how fucking awesome Sony and the PS3 is, delivering a barn bursting amount of world class, GOTY, high scoring exclusives throughout the entire life cycle of the console.

@tormentos said:@StormyJoe said:
You are comparing Sound Shapes to TitanFall... really?
But, in answer to your question: Yes - those games are an advantage to the PS4. You cannot play them on XBoxOne.
No i am just killing your argument on the spot,remember the fight about games flopping on PS4 but Forza did not,funny the PS4 also had a 9 game just like the xbox one,but like Titanfall is not in just 1 platform,so the argument use by lemmings is that the game is not exclusive,even that it is only on PS3 and Vita not PC or xbox 360.
Well then you need to convince your fellow lemmings friends or your self,because gamespot rules are clear is not an exclusive it is irrelevant we don't need to counter multiplatform games with exclusives..
So, Sound Shapes for the win? If that's the argument you want to make, fine. But, Sound Shapes is not an AAAE. I guess if you want to say "but it's still a PS4 advantage because you can't play it on Xbox One", the go ahead - it's a valid argument regardless of how stupid I think that game is.
Any game that you can play on one console and not another is an advantage for that console.
going to bump this because the lack of this feature single handedly made me stop posting actively across multiple boards, and now i just lurk on one board, rarely ever bothering with threads.
Dont care. I bought the PS4 to experience buying a console on launch day and I have to say it's been a fabulous, over expectations experience.

@finalstar2007: Agreed. That's great that LoL is incredibly addicting to some, but this type of game doesn't interest me at all. In fact, most of the large PC exclusives don't interest me, aside from The Witcher (sequels aren't exclusive though) and STALKER.
So that's great that you think LoL is greater than consoles TC, but I'd be inclined to disagree with that statement.
Dota fans need to pile in and tell us all about their subpar mediocre game. Thanks Dota fans, you stay classy.
League of Legends is a much better game that is played by at least 5 times as many people.

Fear of flying course, 6-7 March 2010
Aeroplanes have become a mode of transport that most people take for granted. London, for example, can be reached from Bremen within an hour.Yet there are also people who experience flying as a personal "horror trip", suffering symptoms such as tachycardia, hyperventilation, and a feeling of not being in control, i.e of being completely and utterly dependent on the pilot. This describes what is commonly known as "fear of flying", or what psychologists term "aerophobia" or "aviophobia". To help sufferers, a fear of flying course will be held at Airport Bremen on 6 and 7 March 2010.
The aim of this group course is firstly to show participants how fear of flying can be consciously combated. The second step involves steps to control this phobia. During the two-day course, a variety of psychological strategies for combatting fear of flying will be demonstrated and practised. Aircraft technology is another area that is covered in some depth. This part of the course addresses some elementary questions, for example, How is an aircraft able to fly? Is turbulence dangerous? Are pilots subjected to routine checks? How do I gain control over the feeling of having no control? In a guided session, participants are invited to swap experience with each other. The course will be held in partnership with Airport Bremen. Any participants who so wish may also take part in an accompanied flight to London on Sunday, 7 March. Further information on fear of flying courses can be obtained under the following telephone numbers and web address. Tel. +49 5693-915540 or +49 170-3181406. Your contact is Frank Eisenberg.Information can also be found on the Internet under: www.flugseminare.de

What Was the Single, Worst Civilian Atrocity in the Civil War? | Rate Topic |

Just wondering what you all feel to be the single, worst large-scale atrocity committed against civians in the Civil War? I was just reading yesterday a detailed account of one in particular but wondered if there were others. One reason I wonder about it is that for a war fought right on our soil with enemies tramping all over the soil, it seems as if there are incredibly few incidents of heinous crimes against civilians given the number of armed combatants involved and the many opportunities they would have had to step out of line. I am not referring to routine bumming and foraging. I am referring to criminal and wanton sociopathic acts. For example, when one considers the large number of men in the war and the large number of women left unprotected, there seems to be relatively few cases of "outrages" against women. Is it that such "outrages" were not reported or is it that most soldiers were gentlemanly enough to restrain more base urges? Mainly, however, I am referring to barbarism on a large scale. It seems as if such events were few and far between or maybe there are several I don't know about. |

so many were atrocities were committed by the U.S. against native Americans during the war it would be hard for me to pick just one.....here's one of the worst... Sand Creek Colorado, site of a massacre (1864) of Cheyenne by Col. John M. Chivington and his Colorado Volunteers. The Cheyennes, led by their chief, Black Kettle , had offered to make peace and, at the suggestion of military personnel, had encamped at Sand Creek near Fort Lyon while awaiting word from the territory's governor. There they were attacked in a surprise dawn raid on Nov. 29, 1864. Chivington and his men, choosing to ignore a white flag, slaughtered and mutilated hundreds of men, women, and children. The atrocity has been the subject of much controversy, and an effort to unearth the site began in 1998. |

Sand Creek is a gut wrenching story. Not only did the peaceful Black Kettle raise a white flag, he also flew an American flag. But one must remember the times. Even though it was a massacre by anybody's standards, Chivington was a hero in Colorado and in Denver - not only for this but for his work at Glorieta Pass. There is even a county named for him here in Colorado. The story of Sand Creek literally sickens me. I tried to see it a few years ago, but it was on private land and impossible to get close to. Now, I believe it is a National Monument and accessible with interpretation. Chivington, Glorieta Pass, and Sand Creek may be worthy of their own thread, if there isn't one on this board already. |

I agree Sand Creek is the worse , and add to that after the war Battle Kettle is killed in a raid on Washita done by nother other that George Armstrong Custer on order of Phil Sheridan. Everyone pretty much was wiped out including Black Kettle and his wife who had somehow survived Sand Creek. |

Sand Creek ranks really close to top, but it wasn't really part of the Civil War. Much like the uprising in Minnesota in late '62, it happened during the time, but I don't generally figure it as part. You, however, are invited to think of it what you will. On the other hand, Lawrence was one of those senseless bits of the USCW that ought to leave a bitter taste on anyone, Yank or Reb. What was the toll? About 180 men and boys? It makes me nauseus that old men and kids could be slaughtered in the name of whatever. There was no gain there. If one has to shoot every man, woman and child to take that fort, there is a reason. (Tenuous, but an actual reason.) To kill them all just because get's somewhat outside of collateral damage. No question. Lawrence. To be fair, next on the list is Roswell. And, after that, Ebenezer Creek. We'll get ther soon enough. Ole |

The Navajo long walk Bosque Redondo is another of the events of atrocity during the Civil War . Little Crow's Uprising and the hanging of the chiefs after is part of the Civil War . The events would not have happened as they did with out the War going on . Just my opinion from what I have read. |

It's truly sad that so much of what was done to the Indians in the name of westward expansion and progress has been swept under the carpet. Truly some of the darkest deeds of our nation.

I have read several books on the Western history /Indians , One of my favorites is Kit Carson and the Indians. This book puts Carson in the 19th century where he belongs not the genocidal figure he is made in the 20th and 21st century. He did what he did to Navajo thinking he was helping them to survive. In doing she many were killed. The Navajo of that period were not the ones you learned about in school , the silversmiths and blanket weavers who herd cattle but fierce warriors that reigned terror on other tribes in the area. Civil War in the American West is good by Josephy and of course Hampton Sides Blood and Thunder . |

Calcav, thank you for mentioning Chambersburg, PA. That is where I went to grade school and middle school. My dad was born there. I remember, many, many years ago when Chambersburg had its sesquicentennial celebration a reenactment of the burning of Chambersburg was held...on a very small scale. Anyway, for years I had thought that the Rebels burned Chambersburg on the way to the Battle of Gettysburg, but when I started studying the Civil War seriously, I learned General McCausland burned Chambersburg in 1864 on orders from Jubal Early in retaliation for General Hunter's Yankee predations in the Shenandoah Valley. I'm not certain if any civilians were killed in the blazing inferno, but it had to be very frightening to lose one's home and everything one owned in such a fire. |

Given The Current Deficit Crisis, Should Foreign Aid Be Cut? >
U.S. Must Be More Selective Where It Sends Foreign Aid
The United States needs to stay engaged in foreign affairs, but it must choose carefully where it spends its dollars
October 11, 2011
It is not a convenient time to be having a recession. While responsible members of Congress attempt to help mitigate our economic turmoil, promote job growth, and tackle a national debt of staggering proportions, the world has kept on changing. For the past 10 months, we have witnessed unprecedented changes throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The peaceful protests that began at the end of last year continue to shake the region to its core. The power structures that have defined the region for decades continue to crumble as protestors take to the streets by the thousands. And although it is not yet clear what the end result will be, there can be no doubt that the Middle East that emerges from the current turmoil will be vastly different from the one we have known for decades.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
There can be no question that the United States not only must stay engaged, but must in fact be more engaged than ever. As the power structures of the Middle East are being torn down and rebuilt, it is critical that we ensure that our vital national interests in the region—including national security—do not suffer. But fiscal solvency is also a vital national concern, and one that responsible lawmakers must attend to. The result is that we must now do more with less. We can neither afford—literally—to spend recklessly nor can we afford to retreat.
As a Member of Congress it is my duty to ensure that when taxpayer dollars are spent, they are spent appropriately. Even more than in the past, we must now scrutinize each and every foreign aid program to ensure that only those most essential to advancing our interests and those of our allies are implemented. Governing is about prioritizing and choosing and that is exactly what my colleagues and I—and the Obama administration—must now do.

Phone: (504)643-3000Fax: (504)643-3228
This course is always kept in excellent condition. The front nine is longer than the back nine because the back nine was design to play through large estates. The greens are in great shape, and there are no sand bunkers anywhere on the course. Water hazards come into play on eight of the eighteen holes. Don't miss to the left on hole #11, a 305-yard, par 4, which has water down the left side from the tee to green. The finishing hole is also quite memorable. This 540-yard, par 5, features a severe dogleg left fairway with a canal crossing through the fairway twice.

Royal Golf Club, Dec 21, 2009 |
reviewer: BigHitterPro
from Slidell, LA |
Yea this course isn't as great as most courses, but for the area it is in it is one of the best. Pinewood is not an amateur course, it has no room to miss a shot and they charge way too much considering they can never keep their greens in decent shape. Nobody wants to play oakharbor because it gets way too windy and it is also over priced. Royal Golf CLub is run by very intelligent indiviuals and is run in a proper manor. If you think you can run this golf course any better then please by all means I have all day to sit here and listen to what you have to say. At this point in time this golf course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. You can not play anywhere in the USA for this price at such a challenging but yet beautiful public course. |

A hidden GEM, Jul 22, 2009 |
reviewer: Kingfish MWK
from Slidell, LA |
I worked there years ago back in 2000..The greens where the shiznit then and they are the shiznit now. Anyone who appreciates golf could enjoy a course like Royal Golf Club. Ya ole Gatlin is on the greedy side, but its all good. Had an old pal Gump the dog who chilled around for many years. Thursday night scrambels where always the bomb..waitin on the carts to come in to clean while relax havin a nice cold one.haha I would sell beef jerky around there to the guys who worked there and would get the hook up. I left there to work at Oak Harbor. Royal Golf Club...who dat who dat who dat..ya heard! |

The greens are so bad it makes the experience of playing golf here horrible. The hole designs are good, but the greens make this golf course below average. Pinewood a shorter but still challenging course in Slidell kicks Royals ass. The greens are great and there is plenty of sand. Advice for Royal: Repair your greens and add some bunkers. |

Played this course for the fist time and found it to be quite enjoyable. The greens were in good shape as were the fairways. Having played on a good amount of the public courses in the area, I'd say this one rates pretty well. |
