Anyone in search of daily challenges, varied routine, plenty of unexpected drama, and unwelcome headaches, might think about applying for a job at one of the 500 British consulates dotted about the globe. In 'Our Man In…The Costas,' a new three part television documentary series currently being aired on Channel 4, viewers are offered a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of what working life is really like for British consular staff overseas.
The new series focuses on the work of consulates in Spain, which is hardly surprising when more than 12 million Britons visit the country each year and British nationals represent the third largest foreign resident group. Of the total number of calls received by consular staff, Palma, Malaga, Barcelona and Alicante are among the top five destinations with Spain recording the largest number of consular assistance cases-4,971-in 2010/2011.
In the first episode, Majorca's British Consul, Paul Abrey and his team, are seen juggling various holidaymakers' problems, from lost passports, to thefts and over zealous police wrongly tasering a young tourist. A family man from Essex is run down by a drunken driver and luckily lives to tell the tale while a young mother gives birth in a Majorcan hospital several weeks earlier than planned.
In Ibiza, visited by 500,000 Britons annually, drugs is a serious problem with an estimated 40,000 dubious pills being consumed every night to the degree that one disco club even has its own medical centre on site. In the first documentary we see consular staff on the island trying to locate Bradley Potter, a young Briton suffering from the effects of a treacherous 'pink pill', part of a consignment of toxic drugs that have found there way on to Ibiza. When the 27 year-old is found he is in a confused and semi-naked state and without money or passport. Thanks to the consulate, he is issued with a new passport and his father alerted and able to whisk him back to the UK. Ironically the very gang members supplying the much talked about 'pink pills' are arrested and it is the local consulate's role to offer them assistance.
Perhaps one of the most tricky of tasks for consulates is the handling of those serving sentences in local prisons. In Majorca there are 21 Britons being held for various crimes, and in the programme it was testimony to Vice Consul Gillian Brion's professionalism that she was able to assist both the murderer of a Magaluf bouncer, and a thief, with equal largesse and objectivity. Even when the main tourist season is over, the consulates deal with a wide range of problems affecting British expat residents, so there's little let up throughout the year.
The UK government is at pains to make its citizens understand the importance of having travel insurance-one in five holidaymakers doesn't bother with it- an EHIC health card, adequate cash for an emergency and an up to date passport. Fairly obvious stuff, but apparently not so for many holidaymakers who are now being offered the aid of a UKinspain website to underline the value of planning ahead before booking a vacation.
At the end of the first programme we see Bradley Potter, mercifully attired-and compos mentis-back home in the UK with his father. Whatever one's personal view might be of a 27 year-old without a responsible thought in his head bumming about on a holiday island and foolishly popping unknown pink pills, is irrelevant to consular staff. They appear to perform their function without judgement or subjectivity.
As Potter himself admitted, without the help of the British consulate he might well have ended up stoned on a hippy commune, roaming the beaches or worst case scenario, dead. Food for thought indeed.

James wanted something not only "new" sounding, but also totally new looking.
The JH James Hetfield Humbucker Set is a totally new dimension for EMG, the design being driven solely with the input of James Hetfield. After playing the 81/60 EMG combo for many years now James wanted something not only "new" sounding, he wanted a set that also looked totally new.
The neck pickup uses individual ceramic poles and bobbins with an enlarged core that gives it a more percussive attack, higher output and a fuller low-end response making it clean & fat and fast attacking.
The bridge pickup uses the same larger/taller core coil but has steel pole pieces, again for a tighter more percussive attack with less mutual inductance for a cleaner low-end,. Based of the EMG 81 but brought to a whole new level.
Both pickups feature an exclusive Black Nickel plated finish and come complete with EMG's revolutionary solderless installation wiring components.
- New sounding and looking
- Individual poles and bobbins
- Enlarged core
- More percussive attack
- Higher output
- Fuller low-end response
- Black Nickel plated finish

Of all the reasons to visit London, football ranks pretty highly among a large number of tourists, with the capital being home to some of the most famous clubs on the planet.
The down side to this is that it means there's an awful lot of competition for tickets, with so many people trying to get access to matches – particularly the more important ones.
However, an exciting opportunity has arisen for football fans thinking of travelling to London in the near future, after Chelsea FC announced that tickets for the club's opening Champions League Match of the season have now gone on general sale.
Although most European matches tend to sell out before they even become available to the general public – with participants in the club's membership scheme being offered first dibs and normally snapping up all the seats – the match against Swiss side FC Basel at Stamford Bridge on September 18th does have some tickets available to non-members.
What's more, these are being offered at the reduced price of just £35 for adults and £17.50 for concessions, so there really has never been a better chance to get a piece of the action at the Bridge.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this particular match – which sees the 2012 champions begin their trail for glory following a disappointing early exit last season – is that it will be manager Jose Mourinho's first Champions League match since returning to the club after a six-year absence in the summer.
Having won every trophy with Chelsea apart from Europe's most prestigious competition during his previous tenure, expectations are high that he will lead the team to glory this time around, and anyone who gets their hands on a ticket for this match will be able to say they were there when it all started.
Stamford Bridge is located just a short walk from Fulham Broadway tube station, which is on the District Line and can be reached very easily from all central London hotels and attractions.

As per an article in today's morning papers, the Croatian Defense Council will, over the next two to three months, decide on whether the country should dissolve its fighter wing, or prop-up the existing MiG-21 fleet until the economic situation improves and allows the purchase of new equipment.
In the case of the former, the article states that air policing would then be contracted out to the Italian and Hungarian AF. The cost of this arrangement has only been mentioned as Croatia's participation and financing of one or more NATO projects.
The latter option however - per the article the most likely scenario - offers two further possibilities. The first would involve the complete overhaul of four CroAF MiGs by Aerostar of Romania, as well as the purchase of four Romanian Lancers (there's no info on whether the four overhauled aircraft would be brought up to Lancer standards). The cost of this option is placed at around €20 million.
The second option would involve the purchase and modernization of eight MiGs from the Ukraine. The aircraft in question are Yemeni machines that had been overhauled in the Ukraine in 2008, but never taken up by the YAF, citing shoddy work done. While at €8 million by far the cheapest option, there are some problems with the jets' paperwork, which has been openly cited as "fishy". Apart from their dubious origin, the ownership of the jets is still not settled, with the YAF claiming the aircraft are still theirs, and the Ukrainian side claiming (and supporting with said fishy documents) that the jets had been delivered to the Ukraine back in 2003 by a Swiss company. The state of the aircraft themselves - as described by CroAF techs who'd inspected them - is said to be "satisfactory", though they did not get the chance to take them for a spin (the cause was said to be "bad weather").
The possibility of buying new jets - or at least used aircraft of a newer generation - is said to be next to none. The former option (which includes the F-16 Block 50, Gripen Classic and the Eurofighter) is valued at between €170 million and 1,24 billion, while the latter (which could have included the MiG-29, F-16 Block 15, Kfir and Mirage F1) at €90-270 million... both well outside the country's financial capability at this time.
So, we may still see the -21 plying European skies well into the latter half of the decade...

LAKE NATOMA, Calif. - Full Results
For the third year in a row, No. 4 California men's crew finished second at the Pac-12 Championships behind now three-year reigning champion No. 1 Washington. The Huskies swept all four races at the 2012 conference meet Sunday at Lake Natoma in Gold River, Calif. The Golden Bears took second in every race.
"Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the other crew," Cal head coach Mike Teti said about finishing second to Washington for the third straight year. "All of our boats cut the margins. We were looking for improvement and we did that. We just need to keep going. The guys raced hard. It would have been nice to win, but we're building. This is a young group. We'll have a lot of guys coming back next year."
Despite facing the always stiff competition from the top-ranked Huskies, the fourth-ranked Bears also squared off against eighth-ranked Stanford and No. 20 Oregon State at the conference regatta. The last time Cal won the Pac-12 title was in 2009, just prior to the start of Washington's three-year run.
The Huskies topped the Bears by eight seconds in the varsity eight final. Washington led from start to finish, as it did in all four races on the day, and increased its lead as the race went on.
The closest finish of the day came in the freshman eight. The Huskies beat the Bears to the finish line with a time of 5:44.3 to Cal's 5:47.8. The second varsity eight race was also close with Washington beating Cal by a margin of 5:48.6-5:54.1
"We stayed in the races longer," Teti said. "We fought longer. The freshmen were close and the JV eight was close." Teti also gave a shout out to congratulate the Cal women for sweeping Pac-12s for the first time to when their fifth straight conference crown. "Hats off to the Cal women today," Teti said. "It was great to see them sweep like that. It was a good day for Cal today."
The Bears will now take the next two weeks off in preparation for the IRA National Championships from May 31-June 2 in Cherry Hill, N.J. Cal will not only have to contend with Washington once again, but also East Coast powerhouse Harvard, which topped the Bears earlier this season at the San Diego Crew Classic. Teti said the Bears will just go back to work and continue to improve for IRAs.
Prior to IRAs, Teti will attempt to get his U.S. men's eight boat qualified for the Olympics at the Qualification Regatta in Switzerland on May 20. Former Cal coxswain Zach Vlahos will cox the U.S. men's eight.

Izakaya 101 and a Brief Sushi Rice Primer
Rounding out last week's izakaya probe, we bring you a run-down of the unfamiliar terms most likely to pop up on an izakaya menu. Our local Japanese chef know-it-alls Hiro Sone of Ame and Mari Takahashi of Nombe chimed in to walk us through words like agemono and onigiri. We've compiled their definitions below along with a few revelations on the secrets of perfect sushi rice. What makes the best grains? And why does sushi rice tastes so much better than the regular stuff from the supermarket? This and your izakaya 101 after the hop.
Probing The Izakaya Trend: Two Local Japanese Chefs Get Deep
A few years ago, nobody around here knew what an izakaya was. The Japanese word literally means "sitting in a sake shop," but it's evolved to encompasses all manner of casual Japanese eating and drinking establishment. Now San Francisco has been hit with a slew of izakayas in the past year or two. We've got Nombe, Nojo, Hecho and Chotto. All of them have simply grilled, seasoned meats that are served on skewers; some have traditional sushi as well. There's also a sustainably minded izakaya called Ki on the way in the Mission. And Sebo, a sushi spot that's long been devoted to the highest quality raw fish, has recently expanded its menu to include cooked items, making it more of an izakaya-type hangout.
So by now, even those who don't have a clue what "izakaya" means, have probably eaten at one. We sat down with two of our city's successful Japanese chefs, Hiro Sone of Ame and Mari Takahashi of Nombe, for a long-overdue schooling in all things izakaya. Here you'll get the male and female perspective on what it all means.
The Rare Pleasure of Cod Semen in San Francisco
I first heard about cod sperm, and how it's an edible delicacy for the "jet set," back in December. Socialite wrangler Gilt City threw an upper crust mingle fest at Benu. Chef Corey Lee decided to serve a liquified version of cod sperm in shot glasses as a passed appetizer. The well-to-dos knocked it back and liked it with reckless abandon (even though most of them didn't know what they were sipping). And the Chronicle's Beth Spotswood wrote about the affair and her server's insistence that "it's like a thing. It's the male version of caviar."
Blowfish-Fin Sake at Ame: It's Hot
It would be a lot more thrilling if fugu (blowfish) fin sake (called hirezake) could maybe, almost, kill you, if it weren't for the masterful, surgical skills of the sushi chef that extracted the fin from the infamously poisonous fish. As I sat at the bar at Ame, and took a sip of this piping hot sake yesterday—a dried and toasted blowfish fin steeping in the bottom of my ceramic cup—I asked Susan Johnston, the g.m., if I could expect imminent death. But apparently, unlike the liver of the blowfish (which is where the danger lies), the fin is utterly safe. My legs didn't go numb. Not even a little buzz. Just the savory flavor (finally!

Welcome to For the Love of Tarot!
I have dedicated this website to my love of Tarot, a tool that has captured my heart and inspired creativity. Each page touches on one of the aspects that I love about this beautiful expression of life and inner workings of our souls we call the Tarot.
Please stay a while and take a look around....
Change is everywhere you look. You see it when someone gets married, buys a home, or begins a new job. It's the beginning of a new way of life for that person, whether the change was expected or not. Sometimes the changes are small, but that doesn't mean that they don't still affect that person in a meaningful way.
Just a couple of days ago I found out that my favorite tarot forum, Tarot for Life, will be closing on Sept. 30. I understand why the owner is doing it (been there before!), but it doesn't make it less difficult. Even though I didn't post a lot, I always knew it was there, just waiting for when I was ready and had time to post.
This change is significant for me, in my life of the same-ol', same-ol'. Many years ago tarot was a part of my daily life. I managed a discussion group, posted a card of the day every day, and basically lived and breathed tarot. It was wonderful. Then, as some of you know, I lost my best friend and tarot buddy to cancer, and my tarot practice (and my life) really hasn't been the same. I want to begin again and enjoy the cards as much as I used to, but it just hasn't happened for me yet.
This is interesting. The first card, The Past - Ten of Wands, shows where I was when I decided to not make tarot front-and-center in my life. The responsibilities of my discussion group had gotten to be too stressful, never leaving me time for anything else in my life, and I decided to take a big step back. It was much needed at the time. The second card, The Present - Six of Cups, tells me that I'm at the stage where I'm looking back very fondly to what I used to have and would like to recreate that again. Or at least, I want to bring tarot back as a more active part of my life. I love this particular card, because I think it showcases how we can look back in time with rose-colored glasses, not really choosing to see what was NOT working. The little kitty is really enjoying that lollypop and is surrounded by all that candy. But after she's gone through a couple of pumpkins of candy, she's going to be feeling rather sick to her tummy! The third card, The Future - Knight of Swords, shows us a dragon crouched on top of a cloud, holding a sword in his paw/claw. When I see this card, I see a goal that I want to meet, and I see myself moving toward it with clear purpose, but more from an intellectual point-of-view than an emotional one. A very interesting draw with a great little deck. I'll be interested to see how this deck communicates as I use it more.
December 2009Well, it's been over a year since my last update. There have been a lot of decks released in that time, many of which are in my last post as upcoming decks. But what deserves special mention are a couple of decks that have just been released:Legacy of the Divine Tarot, by Ciro Marchetti -- This is Ciro's third deck and his second published by Llewellyn. Each release of his deck has gotten more sophisticated and.... well, gorgeous! I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this deck.The Fairy Tale Tarot, by Lisa Hunt -- This is the latest of Lisa Hunt's decks, but the second of which she is the creator as well as the illustrator, and another Llewellyn publication as well. I haven't gone through this deck yet, so I don't want to make any statements that might be incorrect, but I can say that her art is as beautiful as ever. (And something that deserves mention is that these cards do not have borders. The images stretch to the very edge of the cards.) Each card is "assigned" a fairy tale that best illustrates the message of its card. Lisa spent years loving these fairy tales and immersing herself in the research that makes up this deck, and I am looking forward to spending lots of time with these cards.But the deck I've been using since I got it a month before my Legacy of the Divine Tarot is Lo Scarabeo's Tarot of Sweet Twilight, illustrated by Cristina Benintende. What a deck! I've heard people call it Tim Burton-esque, compare it to US Games' Karma Tarot or Lo Scarabeo's Fey Tarot. And I see where they're coming from. But after using this deck for over a month, it definitely has its own personality. My readings have been straight forward yet deep. I'm really getting attached. :-)

When you hover your mouse over the menu on the left, the submenu will pop up. If you want to see the images, please click on the main tab, "Tarot Images and Reviews" and that will take you to the main page. Hmm... I hope that made sense! Let's see... what's new lately?

The last thing Ryan Riley sees before she closes her eyes at night is the face of a soccer player.
The last thing Ryan Riley sees before she closes her eyes at night is the face of a soccer player.
The 14-year-old hung a poster of Christie Rampone, the U.S. women's national team captain, above her bed in Issaquah, a reminder of her dream to one day be a defender on the professional soccer team.
This is the eighth year Riley has attended Cliff McCrath's Northwest Soccer Camp, the same camp where Michelle Akers spent seven years training before her career launched and propelled her to a 1999 World Cup championship.
Riley and soccer fans across the country are watching the U.S. team's exhilarating run through the FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany. That interest has become a groundswell in Seattle entering Sunday's championship game against Japan. American goalkeeper Hope Solo, like Akers 12 years before, is inspiring a new generation of female players in the city where Solo played college soccer.

For proof, look no further than the soccer fields across the Puget Sound region.
While practicing Wednesday at her camp in Kenmore, Riley heard the screams and chants from nearby cabins: "USA! USA! USA!"
She knew immediately what it meant — the team she admires so much had made it to the finals.
"I love watching their games," Riley said. "The players are role models for me."
Inspiring Seattle
Izzy Eiffert, a fiery 12-year-old, is introduced as "Hope Solo" by Riley and other athletes at the Northwest Soccer Camp. Eiffert is training to be just like Solo, a Richland native she calls "an amazing goalkeeper."
Eiffert said she's been watching and learning from Solo's games for two or three years.
"If you visualize yourself doing it and work just as hard, you can do it," Eiffert said. "I think I can do it."
Since playing for the University of Washington, Solo has become one of the top female goalkeepers in the world.
Lesle Gallimore, the UW women's soccer coach, has been in Germany since June 29 supporting Solo. She isn't surprised about the hype in "soccer crazy" Seattle.
"Washington has always been a great soccer state," Gallimore said. "We've always drawn big crowds."
Sounders FC has shattered Major League Soccer (MLS) attendance records since its inaugural season in 2009. That's unlikely to change. A new generation of soccer fans is on its way.
Chris Henderson, a former local soccer star who is now technical director for Sounders FC, said opportunities for kids to play in clubs has grown in recent years.
Since 2006, the number of registered soccer players between the ages of 5 and 19 has increased by about 6,000, according to Washington Youth Soccer. During the 2011 season, more than 128,000 players were registered — ranking the state fourth in the country.
"This is such a pivotal time in soccer to have role models; to see that one of the girls starting on the national team came from Washington state," said Elizabeth Flannery, spokeswoman for Washington Youth Soccer.
Add the fire of this year's U.S. run through the World Cup, and it's no wonder interest is heating up.
The Americans played in one of the most dramatic games in World Cup history last week against one of the tournament favorites, Brazil, winning in a dramatic shootout. On Wednesday, the team's 3-1 victory over France propelled them into the final.
Next up, Japan on Sunday. Riley and Eiffert, back home after their camp ended, can't wait to root for their heroes. "When I watch them play, I feel excited and realize why I love soccer," Riley said.

Roma was intrested in bondage and was willing to give it a try. She discovered that it was a bit to much for her, so we stopped the scene. We thank Roma for giving it her best shot.

Roma, it was a pleasure to see you and a shame it didn't work out. Maybe another time? I agree with rehtneug1971, you are beautiful and natural (a real plus). Good work Claire, stern but with a regard for Roma's well being. Good work!

A nice mixture of content here, but, no offence to Roma who is a beautiful girl but, for me it was like watching a corpse get tickled and spanked. Once again no offence to anyone this is just my opinion on the video not on anyones performance.

Loved scene 3: (doggy) but the sudden ending was un-expected. I thought I was watching the final episode of the Sopranos! But seriously; Roma, you are gorgeous. The most challenging scene left me wanting more. Hope you'll give this some thought and come back! If Claire's too much for you, how about someone else? By the way, I love your feet!

Thank you for trying out, Roma. I am hoping for more wooden horse shots soon.

you say you stoped filming because it it was a bit to much for roma fair enough then in my opinion you should not of showed any of the footage at all because a true artist does show a half of a painting nor should a obviously talented film maker as yourself show incomplete work.What did roma expect anyway? all she needed to do was browse your site and see it's contant to know what she was in for.If roma thinks that your site is a rough place she should try living in new youk city and taking the subway every day now thats rough god bless.

Roma has such a beautiful breast and butt, it is a shame we could not see her being assfucked, but at the same time, it is comforting to know that the will of the girls is respected. By witnessing this case, it becomes more exciting to know that the other girls really like what they do.

The fact that Claire respected Roma's limits gives me such great respect for this site! This is also my first post, I'm a brand new member. But everything I've seen has been first rate. I hope to see more of Claire Adams, great beauty and even better demeanor!

I really like this one because of the reaction she has to stratling that wood with the wait on her ankles. She is just sitting there for a bit feeling so much that she cant talk its amazing. I think that it may come some from the fact that this is all new to her it is the edge of what she can handle so it is really real for her no acting at all I was impressed

Claire, in the riding scene, why didnt you take her shoes off?

|May 18, 2008
She walked on the shoot so drop the smile shots and move on already. I like the fact (if in fact the story is true) that it got too intense. I imagine though that is the case with many of the models they haven't done this so therein lies the problem.
Great! (5)

Someone needs to tell this top you are in the pictures too! How about hitting the gym? When the latex skirts don't fit right and they stop looking hot its time to get back into shape!

This girl needed a more personal approach with lots of kissing, finger pussy play, body contact and simpler positions. She would have been gr8 as she loved the flogging and obviously can withstand some painful domination. Pity she's gone, I love her.

|Jul 20, 2011
I have the advantage of seeing this video 4 yrs after the fact and reading the comments. Roma explained why she stopped the shoot. She hadn't had sex for some time and so she wasn't able to accommodate "everything" she was "hit" with. She wasn't pulling out, no pun intended, because of an aversion to what was being done. Rather the issue was that physically she could not accommodate the toys being used. As a DOM from "forever", I am always attuned to my sub's situation. All I can suppose is that those who complain about Roma's probable use of her safe word have never had any real time experience with a sub. You are wannabe doms. I will not capitalized the term dom when I refer to you. I have had more than 1 scene end early due to something like what Roma described. BTW I do capitalized her name because I respect her and that she is a sub, does not mean that I should demean her unnecessarily.
Great! (5)

Flu Vaccine: A New, Universal Solution?Meredith Carroll
My heart breaks when I see a sick baby, even if the child isn't mine. After all, little ones often struggle to express what aches they're experiencing, so often times all they can do is moan or cry, and it can be tough to help them without really knowing what's wrong.
What makes me even sadder is knowing a child is sick, but the illness was preventable. Take, for instance, the flu. A shot is available annually that protects against the most common strains of influenza, but many parents opt against getting it for their kids due to unfounded fears of vaccinations.
Hopefully it'll be good news for all parents upon hearing that a new vaccine has been tested that would prevent against all strains of influenza for 10 years at a time, and could be used to prevent around a billion people a year from contracting the disease.
According to the UK's Guardian Newspaper, scientists at Oxford University have successfully tested a vaccine that has the potential to fight all strains of the flu by targeting a different part of the virus than traditional vaccines, which means it does not need to be reformulated every year to match the strains most prevalent. The vaccine targets proteins inside the flu that are most common across all strains, instead of those on the external coat, which are more likely to mutate.
A universal flu vaccine has the potential to prevent pandemics like the swine and bird flu outbreaks in recent years. It would also end the need for one shot annually.
It should be noted that while the vaccine was tested successfully on humans, the number of people in the study was shocking small. Eleven healthy volunteers were infected with the flu along with 11 non-vaccinated volunteers. Still, the study is still regarded as significant because it was the first time that a vaccine of this kind was tested on people with positive and safe results.
The next step in the process is to test the vaccine on several thousands of people in a new trial, which means it could take several years before the universal vaccine is a reality for the general public. Still, it's nice to know there can be some serious relief on the horizon, and hopefully parents who are opposed to the flu vaccine will take this time to monitor the progress of the studies and decide if they want to reverse their decision not to have their children inoculated against a preventable and deadly virus.

Colleges and universities offer a wide range of course requirements to their students in their departments of arts and sciences. Vocational training, by contrast, is more narrowly focused. Its aim is a specific job or career. It is training that is comparable to an apprenticeship in a trade such as bricklaying. The student learns precisely what he needs and wants for his chosen field.

I am trying to create a Mapping Commission Thread which includes an image of a sample map that I created in MS Paint. The map is in a jpeg format and is 476K in size. I have been trying to add the file as an attachment to my Commission Request Thread. I go through the steps to upload the file, but all that happens is the continuous spiraling of the upload progress indicator and then nothing happens. I have let the upload go for a long period of time, even until my login times out. Still, the attachment does not upload.
I am not sure why the file will not upload. I have uploaded many attachments in the past without difficulty.
Any suggestions?

Getting into golf without going broke
This article comes from Nate Segall from the Quicken Loans Zing! blog.
With spring around the corner and warm weather (hopefully) on its way, it's about time to start thinking about getting back onto the golf course. If you're not a regular Golden Bear, or if you don't know who the Golden Bear is, then it's time for you to start playing the great game of golf. Now, golf is not a cheap sport. It's not like basketball where you can play with just a ball and a hoop; there's a lot of necessary equipment needed to even begin to play golf. So if you're tired of playing virtual golf on your Xbox, or if your boss invited you to play a round and you don't want to embarrass yourself, the Zing Blog is here to advise you and offer you the best tips and advice for stepping into the world of golf.
The first thing to understand about being a beginner at golf is that buying the best equipment will not automatically make you a good golfer. So don't go out and spend thousands of dollars on clubs, shoes, balls and other accessories. Utilize eBay, used club sections at golf stores and even garage sales to find your first set of clubs. And by set, we don't mean you need to go out and buy all fourteen necessary clubs. Here are the clubs you should have in your very first golf bag:
- Driver: The driver is used to "drive" the ball a great distance down the fairway and is used when the ball is set up on a tee.
- Irons 5-9: Irons are typically used when you're fewer than 200 feet away from the pin. Middle irons (5-6) are less lofted and are used for longer shot, while short irons (7-9) have more loft and get the ball in the air quickly for shorter approach shots.
- Wedge: Wedges are used for shots 100 yards or shorter. They have the highest loft of any club, which makes them the best option when your ball is in tall grass or in a sand bunker. There are different types of wedges, each varying in loft degree.
- Putter: This is the only club you may have previously used (probably at your 10th birthday party) but this time around there won't be a windmill to putt the ball through.
Now is the time to go and look for your inaugural set of golf clubs before prices begin to rise for the upcoming golf season.
There are too many "free" ways to gain knowledge on the sport of golf to spend money on a Professional Golf Association (PGA) instructor. Have any golfing family members or friends? Ask them to give you a few pointers at the driving range. I guarantee that they'll be flattered and more than willing to lend a hand. Another great option for a quick lesson is YouTube videos. After you're finished reading this blog, do a quick YouTube search of "golf instruction videos," and I guarantee you'll find an answer to your question. Another great option is the PGA website. Head to their instruction section for tips, lessons and more!
Now I'm not suggesting that you take your first swing on a tee box, but some people refuse to go to an actual golf course because they aren't good enough but there are just some things you get on a golf course that you can't experience at the driving range. And there are golf courses that are more suited for beginners. GolfNow.com is a great place to book a tee time at a local course near you. Each golf course has a review section where you can find the course difficulty, the average pace of play and the type of golfer that it's suited for.
Your first few times swinging a club should most certainly be at a driving range. A majority of driving ranges use mats with fake grass to imitate real fairways and roughs, but it really isn't a good substitute. Try your best to find a driving range that uses grass because it will give you a better feel of what it's like to be out on a real golf course.
Golf is one of the greatest sports in the world because virtually anyone can play it. It's truly the best way to spend a sunny, summer Sunday morning. It can even be a great platform for making business deals. Take the time to get to know the game and I guarantee you'll fall in love.

Freire gets stage 2 and the GC lead from Petacchi who finished 29th today.
Freire gets stage 2 and the GC lead from Petacchi who finished 29th today.
Freire picks up another!
Oscar's in good form early in the season. Hope he maintains it through the Worlds in Madrid. How about Hincapie holding his own among the big guns. Just 23 ticks off the pace. He's looking like a solid bet for a good finish at P-R.
It was good to see George right up there, at the end of the stage yesterday.Originally Posted by gcasillo
Oscar takes his third in a row today!
Oscar is looking very good for Milan-San Remo.
Oscar Freire is one of the great talents of all time. It's a shame he had so many problems with his back the past few years. He's looking great now though.
Hincapie finishes with Petacchi again, metres away from Freire. He is surely on form for that second classic.
Current MSR odds:
PETACCHI Alessandro (ITA - FAS) 5.50
BOONEN Tom (BEL - QST) 8.00
FREIRE Oscar (SPA - RAB) 7.00
ZABEL Erik (GER - TMO) 12.00
BETTINI Paolo (ITA - QST) 13.00
VALVERDE B. Alejandro (SPA - IBA) 14.00
CIPOLLINI Mario (ITA - LIQ) 14.00
McEWEN Robbie (AUS - DVL) 16.00
O'GRADY Stuart (AUS - COF) 16.00
VINOKOUROV Alexandre (KAZ - TMO) 18.00
HINCAPIE George (USA - DSC) 50.00
Damn I'm impressed they're giving that much to Petacchi
You heard it here first...there is absolutely non way that Petacchi is winning Milan-San Remo.
My favorite for that race is Oscar Freire. No one can sprint better at the end of that kind of distance. I think the distance of MSR will be jus a few kilometers beyond Petacchi's limit. Oscar is on form too! Hincapie could be close though. I think Boonen will suffer the same fate as Petacchi....he'll be there, but because of the distance he will lose his edge by a mere fraction...and that's all it takes to finish 12th rather than first. Again...No one is better than Freire. He seems healthy, motivated, and on excellent form. Nearly unbeatable in my book.
I agree!Originally Posted by oneradtec
Petacchi outguns Freire, McEwen, Cipo, and others in a classic bunch sprint to win stage 6. Freire's clinging to a nineteen second advantage over Petacchi; I think he'll hold it as I don't think Petacchi can do that much work in the intermediate sprints and come away with a stage win.
I think Freire should be the favorite for MSR this year. He won it last year (too bad for Zabel, really). I do think that Petacchi has the potential to win, but my pick for MSR is officially Tom Boonen.
Freire takes the final GC.
Nice finish for Hondo also.
It was great to see George Hincapie up there with the big guns, but what happened with Max Van Heeswijk? The closest he got was 62nd in stage one and from there it just got worse. Does he not race well in the spring or is this normal for him considering the competition?
"If the funk fits you gotta dance."
Bob Roll
Can't wait for MSR!

[8 December 2009]
PopMatters Associate Music Editor
In my most cynical moments, I'm sure that the Zach Braffs and Starbucks of the world have rendered the singer-songwriter bloodless, toothless, and simple. That they merely produce fodder for producers of cheap television drama, to either remind us what we already know—that we're in a pregnant moment—or to do the emotional work their lazy scripts avoid. This, in darker moments, is how I see the singer-songwriter of the new century.
But to give in to these lazy thoughts is to give those faceless corporations too much sway over how we react to and define our art. A singer-songwriter album is not all acoustic guitars, fey vocals, and easy confessions, as the overhead system at the organic foods store downtown might have you believe.
Neither, however, is it a product that comes solely from descendents of the Greenwich Village protestors and traditionalists, as purists might declare. That is a part of the legacy, surely, but there are also brilliant singer-songwriters operating in all sorts of genres, making plenty of vital sounds. And 2009 found the best singer-songwriters in all corners of the musical world. This year did yield great "traditional" singer-songwriter albums—ones that you could play at Starbucks if you wanted the Bluetoothed businessman waiting for his decaf macchiato to melt into tears. But there's also a country singer crafting love letters to his hero. Or a woman bedding down in the abyss, rather than patrolling its edge. There's dreamy power-pop, and sharp-fanged industrial pop. And there's the clear, low rumble of a long-brilliant songwriter penning his swirling, expansive, hopeful masterpiece.
We got it all in 2009. And here, we have the ten best singer-songwriter albums—each a sharp, shining reminder that the bloodless voice, the one filling up corporate compilations and demographic-friendly TV soundtracks, isn't real. It's fabricated, and can be dismissed as such. The stuff right here—this is singing, this is songwriting. It lives, it breathes, and it bites. Hard.
Jason Molina and Will Johnson are two of the best songwriters in American music today, period. But they are also two of the most solitary, and when they get together on this record there's no feeling of coming together. In fact, the two may sound even more isolated working with each other. On these creaking, whispered songs, both guys craft some of the strongest songs of their careers, from the shuffle of Johnson's "Twenty Cycles to the Ground" to the piano balladry of Molina's "Each Star Marks a Day". The record is almost uncomfortably personal all the way through, with a quiet that falls over the record and draws your finger to the volume button, your ear closer to the speaker. And once there, they deliver words that cut to the bone, laid over barren landscapes that stretch over Molina's Midwest and coat themselves in the dust of Johnson's Texas. This isn't the hardscrabble rock of their daytime bands, but it is, in its hushed way, just as powerful.
Thao had a party on her last record, We Brave Bee Stings and All. But now, she's got to deal with consequences and hangovers and regret. Luckily for us, she tackles heartbreak with the same fervor with which she cannonballs into swimming pools. Her guitar work here is unsurprisingly stellar, although the dusty plucking of the last record is replaced here by hazy, overcast phrasings that keep the record bright while steeping it in just enough melancholy. That sadness, though, there's nothing self-pitying or navel-gazing about it. Thao is, as always, on fire in these songs, whether she's pissed at an ex-lover—"What am I", she demands, "just a body in your bed?"—or herself on the title track. She isn't hoping to get past regret on Know Better Learn Faster, she's fighting through it tooth and nail. And the sound of it is as vital and seductive as it is brokenhearted. That lonesome feeling never sounded so good.
Maybe this would be just another dusty folk record, you know, if it weren't for Alela Diane's devastating voice. Sure, this is built on fragile acoustic guitar and confessional lyrics. But To Be Still isn't like any singer-songwriter album you've heard. Diane's voice, with its emotive rasp and deep range, is a marvel. And with it she lilts through effortless melodies, crafting songs with roomy haze that still feel under control. And her confessions are built on odd and affecting details. "I'd like to see your teeth lined up in perfect rows", she proclaims on "Dry Grass and Shadows", and you start to think Diane knows something you don't. That she's willing to admit things you won't. Diane wants to go back, to a time before some big hurt. But she also knows she can't. "I won't strike my feet", she sings, "in whatever dirt you're tracking". You can feel that pull—that she really wants to—if only to feel close to that person again. It's on this fragile tension and jagged honesty the whole album is built. It doesn't give us easy answers, instead it raises questions beautifully from start to end. So, no, this won't fit over the closing montage on those TV dramas. Alela Diane leaves too much of the obvious out. Which is what makes her album brilliant.
It's not as lo-fi as Vile's other albums, but Childish Prodigy gets dragged through plenty of sonic muck. His low howl, coated in reverb and rust, injects each of these scuzzy songs with a deep soul. And whether he's channeling blues-rock or folk, Vile is pitch-perfect through the whole record. He can break your heart with the finger-picked "Blackberry Song", or he can work you into a wild-eyed frenzy with the epic spazz-out that is "Freak Train". In nine songs, Vile covers more ground than most can in twice that—shifting tempos and moods while still holding onto the grasping, fuzzy tension that drives it all. He may be young, but this is his most complete statement, and the defining document from a new, white-noise Americana movement spearheaded by Vile and some of his Philly friends (we're looking at you, War on Drugs). Watch out, because on Childish Prodigy, we find out just how tough it is to ignore this washed-out stomp. If Kurt Vile has anything to say about it, Americana may never be the same.
Michael Lerner writes catchy power-pop tunes. Propulsive drums, crunchy guitars, sweet melodies, and hooks that get deep in the skin. There's no new innovation to be found in his songs, no eccentric touch to make them stand out over all the other power-pop acts out there. And it is that purity that makes Telekinesis! so damn good. It isn't interested in affectations. These songs are tight and unabashed in their sweetness. All through the record, Lerner is dreaming and wishing. He wants to be in Tokyo; he wants to fall in love; he recalls imaginary friends and awkward kisses. But none of it comes off as naïve, as each bright track is coated with just enough bittersweet haze to make it seem as honest as it is shamelessly optimistic. Like so many great Merge artists before him, Lerner is concerned with making a great song, free of pretension or trendy flourishes. So while the ease with which we can get so much music over the Internet might make us all think ourselves above pure pop, Telekinesis is here to remind how deep it can seep under your skin when it's done right. And you can work up quite a sweat dancing to it, too.
Annie Clark sounds like she could get you into some serious trouble on Actor. Among all the industrial clatter she coats her songs in, there is that siren's voice, luring us into the unknown. She invites us to "paint the black hole blacker" and we do, because we are helpless at the sound of her devastating lilt, even as it's delivered through a knowing smirk. And the playful nature of her songs—weaving as they do through folk and orchestral pop and rock while they squeal and bleep with pixels—makes her all the more unpredictable. But the mystery she brings, dark as it is, is also awfully charming. And standout tracks like "Marrow" and "Actor Out of Work" show off a delightful and multi-talented performer who can puff us up with love one moment, devastate us the next, and then make us burst out laughing. By album's end, you're pulled into her game, ready to smash glass or kiss a stranger or dance in the middle of the street. Or listen to Actor all over again.
Isn't it enough that Darnielle takes big cuts out of the Bible and makes them his own? Doesn't that qualify this as an amazing singer-songwriter album? How about the fact that Darnielle strays away from lunging wild-eyed for our jugular the way we kind of want him to? The strained piano chords, the often gentle pluck of a guitar, the whisper of vocals—they're all delivered with a considered restraint. And for a dude as excitable as Darnielle, this is surely a feat. With a tempered voice, Darnielle grapples with all kinds of demons, and angels, with the help of the Good Book. There's a cautious, fleeting hope in "Romans 10:9", deep grief and loss in "Matthew 25:21", and even that maddening frenzy we expect from him on "Psalms 40:2". Through it all, Darnielle commits fully to his Bible references. Quotes work their way into these songs, and there are unabashed confessions of faith. It's not because Darnielle has had any awakening, it's because he's a great writer battling to understand. And with that fearless eye, his lines hits hard and true in every song. "Drive till the rain stops… keep driving", he pleads at the album's end. The Life of the World to Come, and the very Word it's based on—they can only take us so far. We have to choose to press on. Darnielle figures this out over twelve excellent songs, and leaves us to grapple with the crushing hope in having that choice. Sounds like a big book I read once.
To Willie feels so natural in its delivery that it's hard to believe these are all covers. Matthew Houck's love letter to Willie Nelson sounds like an intimate conversation between the two. When Houck and his band shuffle through ""Pick Up the Tempo" or stomp dust off the floor on "I Gotta Get Drunk", it sounds like they're downing whiskey with Willie and the boys. But when things shift, and Houck sings a ballad like "It's Not Supposed to Be That Way", it's like he's feeling Willie's hurt all over again. Like his heart is breaking anew for the Red-Headed Stranger. And in covering these songs, we see something of Houck's own work, where he found the ability to make his own lonesome sound come across as so universal. We see all that Houck has learned from Willie Nelson, and all the other urban cowboys that came before him, but we also see the earnest emotion Houck puts into his music, the thing that can't be faked. So, in honoring Willie Nelson, Matthew Houck has also taken hold of those sad country reigns. And there isn't anyone around to take them from him anytime soon.
Life on Earth is the most silent tension you'll hear in 2009, and perhaps the sparest album of the decade. It leaves you breathless because it breaths so hard itself, sucking up all the oxygen in the vast, black space around it. These songs aren't interested in looking at the abyss, or in wondering about isolation. They throw themselves down there and shout at the rock walls that might be somewhere out there in the dark. Strings are plucked, chords rise from guitars, only when absolutely necessary. And around them the silence is huge and deafening, with Jesy Fortino's rattled, baying vocals cutting bravely through it. She may be lost, but she won't plead. Even as she sings, "I'm dying for a way out", she sounds dangerous and untethered, not defeated. Fortino is facing the beasts and forging ahead into a landscape she can't see. And that bare fearlessness is what makes this quiet record so rewarding. It demands of you—attention, energy, and emotion will be spent if you really listen—but the rewards are great and run deeper with each listen. So go ahead and get quiet.
In his days under the Smog moniker, Callahan could be awfully harsh. He demanded wives to dress sexy at their husband's funeral, or got dangerously drunk at ex-lovers' weddings. But these days, he sings lines like "I used to be sort of blind, but now I can sort of see". And boy is he right. That resonant voice isn't dismissive and clustered-up anymore; it's deep with knowledge and searching for hope. And behind him, a huge band of players make a spacious and dreamy sound. Horns and strings and pedal steel swirl around him, swelling and pulling away from spare, steady percussion. At the middle of it all is Callahan, unmoving but searching for hope in the everyday. Here Callahan sets aside the caustic one-liner in favor of building a subtle, deeply felt moment. When he strings together a line word by word at the end of "Too Many Birds", you're hanging on every breath. And when he gets it all out—"If you could only stop your heartbeat for one heartbeat"—you're left with a melancholy that feels oddly comforting. Callahan has long been one of our finest and most daring songwriters. But when he turned away from that dark, and towards some humble light, he made his most crucial work to date. No wonder he's not hiding behind Smog anymore. This is a sound to put your name on, to be proud of, to be remembered for.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
At the Kauffman Foundation, we recently announced a grant to a group that is trying to map and track where startups are around the world. The project--Startup Genome--is working "to build the most complete and accurate database of the world's startup communities, present it in useful, beautiful ways and provide tools and reports that community builders can use to gain insight into what's happening in their community. And make better decisions about how to grow it."
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
Chasing an entrepreneurial dream can be an all-consuming effort. Particularly in those crucial early days of a startup, founders seem to eat, sleep and breathe their businesses. This naturally occurring tunnel vision has a purpose, of course, allowing entrepreneurs to give their business babies the time and attention they need to mature. But this heads-down mode is not without its drawbacks, one of which is neglecting to stay up on current events--particularly the happenings that can impact the entrepreneurs who are inadvertently paying no attention to them.
When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.

A national homebuilder is looking to build a new gated community in the Summerville area with more than 800 homes.
New Jersey-based Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. plans to build Four Seasons at Lakes of Cane Bay in Summerville, according to a news release. The company expects to open its welcome center in the fall.
The 4,300-acre neighborhood includes The Market at Cane Bay, the Del Webb and Sanctuary Cove communities and four subdivisions in the Old Rice Retreat community. There are also Dan Ryan Builders and Lennar Homes communities in the neighborhood. A high school and elementary school opened in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and a middle school followed in 2012.
Homeowners in the new community will have access to seven miles of navigable waterways, a 250-acre lake and more than 10 miles of nature trails and pathways, the news release said.
"Given the strong demographic trends, we have talked about expanding our active adult offering into new markets, and we believe we found a great location that will allow us to take advantage of the growth opportunities that are present in Charleston," said Ara Hovnanian, chairman of the board, president and CEO of Hovnanian Enterprises Inc.
Hovnanian Enterprises' total revenue was nearly $450 million for the second quarter of 2014, which ended April 30, according to financial records. The company completed 1,331 homes in the second quarter of 2014, a 6.5% decrease compared with 1,424 homes in the same quarter of 2013.
About $105 million was spent on land and land development during the second quarter of 2014, and approximately 5,600 lots were put under option or acquired in 56 communities during that time frame.

Cancer is a complex disease that can start in any part of your body and spread elsewhere. Despite years of research, the precise cause of most cancers is not known, although there are usually many contributing factors. Making certain lifestyle choices, therefore, can go a long way toward preventing cancer. While changing habits is no guarantee that you won't get cancer, it can reduce your risk. Some of these same lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking, can also help prevent heart disease and stroke, maximize your overall health, and possibly improve your quality of life.
