Even after 43 Years,
We now have a Brochure Emailing List!
Registration begins officially on the Ides of March.
(The PSGW Countdown Clock gives
a little higher precision, if you need that.)
Each summer since 1974 the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop has taken place at a
sylvan camp/retreat hidden away in the tall pines of Washington State.
Each year we prepare a brochure describing the classes and activities
that will take place during the upcoming summer.
The brochure has grown to be a small book!
Now you can browse the contents of this year's (and many previous year's)
brochures on the World Wide Web... See the Brochures
section below.
PSGW runs three independent, one-week-long Guitar Workshop sessions each year designed for adults ranging from bare-bones beginners to professional musicians and singers. The teachers and classes are different in each session and although there are a number of classes that will always be given (e.g. beginning guitar), each week develops its own character based on that week's unique teachers, classes, and students. A teacher/class list is available here. The brochure for each year's summer sessions can be viewed through the PSGW Brochures - Past & Present section.
PSGW is held in a gorgeous wooded setting with a private lake near Bremerton, Washington (about 90 minutes southwest of Seattle by car). A complete set of directions are automatically sent to all students well before camp. Seattle-Tacoma airport (commonly known as "SeaTac", airport code SEA) is the closest major airport. The shuttle bus from the airport to camp takes 60 to 90 minutes.
Accommodations have become quite comfortable over the years. Most of the campers are put up in small cabins with fireplaces and 4 people to a bedroom and bathroom. Bed linens, pillows, pillow cases, blankets, and towels are all provided. There is also space for tenting in both a small quiet area and a larger general tenting area. Pop-ups and RV can park in on site, but there are no hookups available. The cost of accommodations is included in the registration fee.
The first day of camp is set aside for meeting other campers and finding out about the classes being offered during the week. The next five days have classes in the morning and early afternoon, workshops in the late afternoon, and special events in the evening. The last day of camp is devoted to packing up and saying goodbyes.
In addition to the scheduled events, every day has opportunities for jamming, swimming, or just playing hooky and sleeping. Each day's events are listed on large posters in the lodge, so you needn't memorize the schedule.
Velzoe Brown, 3/1/1910 - 5/4/2011
Aside from its students, PSGW's single strongest asset is its teachers. Teachers are chosen for their ability to communicate their knowledge, enthusiasm, and skill, both in the formal class atmosphere and in the equally-important informal playing situations that abound at camp. Although the teachers provide hand-holding when needed, they also provide space for the student to experiment and make mistakes on his or her own, leading to satisfying growth.

Classes are ongoing for the full week while afternoon workshop sessions are one-shot offerings. Level numbers (arabic numerals) are included with class descriptions to help you decide which classes make sense for you. It helps a lot if everyone in a class plays at about the same level. Feel free to ask for advice from teachers. The ``Meet the Teacher'' sessions on the first day are specially designed for this purpose, but you can ask anytime.
The level numbers correspond to the following guitar skill levels:
LEVEL 1: Just learning the first chords and can't yet change chords without pausing to relocate fingers (level I players are sometimes known as �beginners�).
LEVEL 2: Mostly accompaniment styles and designed for a range of skills.
· At the simpler end, gets from one chord to another without pausing on at least three or four chords. Can't play an F chord. Rhythm is pretty steady as long as the song is familiar. Generally needs chords either written out over the words or else taught to each song.
· At the more advanced end, has met an F chord but shuns its acquaintance; knows a few bass runs or a finger pattern or two; has sometimes played a little with a friend; may be beginning to sort out finger and flatpicking; competent with basic chords: A, Am, B7, C, C7, D, Dm, E, Em, G, and G7. Can sing and strum at the same time easily; learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.
LEVEL 3: No problems with F chord, can hear I, IV, and V chords and usually recognizes a circle of fifths. Fingerpicking: plays a few tunes smoothly; usually learns from friends or tablature. If making own arrangements, they are usually fairly simple, with an alternating bass or a few bass runs. Flatpicking: can play a few melodies smoothly clear through and may be starting to improvise leads. Fancy Chord Styles: knows there is life above the fifth fret and has been there with barre or four finger (partial) chords. Keeps steady rhythm.
LEVEL 4: Fingerpicking: works out arrangements or learns complex arrangements from recordings, including moving bass lines and treble harmonies. Flatpicking: plays lead and back-up with steady rhythm, some improvisation, and clear tone. Plays skillfully with others. Fancy Chord Styles: knows there is life above the seventh fret and is on a first-name basis with most of the chords; has been known to use 12 chords where one would do.
PACING: Classes usually pace themselves to match the participants' abilities. Classes designated level 1 proceed at the pace of the slowest student in the class -- no one gets left behind. Classes designated level 4, on the other hand, move at the pace of the most capable student in the class -- no one gets bored. Level 2 and 3 classes try to follow the pace of the majority of students in the class.

It was an evening of glitz and glam as hundreds from the LGBT community packed the Starlight Lounge to honor volunteers for Resource Center Dallas on Sunday.
More than 1,000 people contributed more than 47,000 hours — valued at about $985,000 — to RCD in 2010.
On Sunday night, RCD honored them — Retro Hollywood style.
The moment volunteers and guest stepped out of their vehicles, they were met by valet and shown to the red carpet. Upon entry, they were invited to the posh open bar as well as catered hors d'oeuvres and dinner.
"This event is excellent for the community," said James Weber, a supporter of the event. "It encourages support, involvement and gives a sense of appreciation to a whole lot of people."
With more than 100 volunteers to recognize, RCD utilized a dual host technique and a team of (what else?) volunteers to hand out awards.
The true star of the night was longtime volunteer Barbara Foster. For her significant contributions to RCD and various other community groups over the years, Foster received the 2010 Martha Dealey Volunteer of the Year award.
"Come see what a difference — it'll change in your life — see what you'll get out of [volunteering]," said Foster. "Because I'll tell you, I get more out of [volunteering] than I give."
She added that being recognized by others she works with at RCD felt wonderful.
Cece Cox, executive director of RCD, said the power of volunteers to help an agency succeed in serving the community is what it's all about — having fun networking but contributing back to the community.

Ted Elliot Head Professional and PGA Class A member since 2006. Finished PGM school in 2006 and won Acushnet Scholarship. Have a passion and strength in Junior Golf. Built from the ground up a junior golf program at Tchefuncta when he was an Assistant Pro. He now designates the whole month of June to promote and run a Junior Golf Camp consisting mostly of members' kids and the rest are their friends and juniors that he personally teaches that may not be members. During the last few years this golf camp has brought in new members to the facility who want their children to grow up around golf even though they as parents personally do not play. He started with 12 juniors in 2000 and now have over 140 juniors that he teaches in June. He does not stop there. After the golf camp in June he keeps their interest up by conducting free junior play days every Wednesday in July. Along with his staff, they go out and play as many holes as they can in two hours. At the end of July he hosts the Junior Club Championship over two days. This event is witnessed by the members and is run just the same as the Club Championship with an awards banquet following play on the second day. He also conducts a parent-child tournament which takes place in early August. This tournament is a great way to have members/parents see first hand the improvements and progress their son or daughter has made during the summer. The format and number of holes is based on the childs age and parents handicap. Junior golf is Ted's background and strength and he has had sucess with many juniors going on to play college and winning high school state championships. He plans on in the future enhancing his skills as a teacher by using more technology when he can afford it to one day build a learning center. Ted believes in Junior golf and that one day these kids will be future members of the club and truly grow the business.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Free Newspaper Only Two People Started Out Editing, But Now They Want Nothing To Do With!
April 9th, 2013 • Issue 181 • Voted best newspaper of Uncyclopedia: 2010, 2011 and 2013.
Pissing About
It has been noted recently that there has been a huge decrease in the number of pee reviews made each week. Before some hard-work pissing a few days ago there were still pee reviews from November 2012 left to review. This has made many uncyclopedians unhappy that their work isn't being pissed on by other more experienced and toilet trained uncyclopedians.
Remember that if you want to have your article reviewed then you must first review someone elses. There has been an influx of noobs joining these last five months and many of them would love help on how to improve their articles and help on how to make them funny. Many noobs such as Dannyboy and Anton199 have been struggling to produce good-quality articles and have required information from admins and a few others that their articles are bad or not funny but they are not being told the specifics and how to improve the articles.
The general message that Uncyclopedia and Unsignpost want to put out is stop day dreaming and start "pissing about." Get on the pee review page and write a few reviews every week. Even upload some articles to be reviewed. By doing this we can turn the Pee Review page from a stagnant wasteland of tripe into a growing community with bonds of friendship being made between the reviewers and the writers
The same situation applies to the Votes For Highlight page which sees its usual voters ever week however the number of regular visitors and contributors to the VFH page is not enough for the articles there to get high enough votes to either fail or pass being features. When you visit that page please try to vote for and/or against on as many articles as you can so that everyday can have a new article featured.
Recently on the VFH page we have seen the articles Thainglish and Modus ponens go through to pass the test. However these were featured a few days ago and are likely to be up for a week. Contenders for the next featured article seem to be Flag Burning Amendment(5/2), UnNews:A-bombs dropped on Japan awarded Nobel Peace Prize(5/0) and Capitalism: in grammar(5/1).
Article 2
Nobody is writing this article this week as nobody has contributed. Apparently somebody's excuse for not contributing was that nobody had done it already which really isn't a valid excuse. Somebody encourages others to write in this space the next time UnSignpost is released so that nobody doesn't have to do it again. Nobody has been writing the last three month's UnSignposts after all.
Anyway back to the point. Nobody would like to point out that recent events in the news such as the war against the other uncyclopedia websites with the April Fools prank which admitedly nobody knows anything about but somebody may be able to tell you more on that story. Also Magaret Thatcher, the role model, has died so Uncyclopedia is looking for someone to write a funeral song for her to be played at that glorius moment. I mean glorious in that we can celebrate her awful policies in politics - awfully good policies that is. The last and only entry we have received so far was, UnTunes:Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead however sadly this was banned and deleted by wikia authorities before we got the chance to hear it.

…Of Oz! Get it? "The man behind the curtain!"
Anywho, this month's tech-focused blog post deals with four little pieces that have been of note during the month of April. Enjoy!
An exciting little project: removal of a METI HPS head. The HPS being used in our simulated operating room has a very messed up face: a tear from the corner of his mouth, some stains and lots of general grime. While it is still under warranty (just a few more weeks…no renewal possible for this old unit), I decided to get his face replaced. This requires a trip to Sarasota, FL and some tender care from METI Customer Support.
While I was a little apprehensive before starting the task, it turned out to be fairly simple. All the tubes have quick-release connections and are clearly labeled at both ends: esophagus, bronchi, eye control, etc. The only trick was disconnecting his spine: I got a tip from METI's Ben Walker to detach the spine at the base of the skull, not the neck. I did need to hunt around campus for the correct size allen wrench; thanks a bunch to Elaine and the good folks in ITS. Then, with time and patience (the close quarters only allow for about 120 degrees rotation before you have to reseat the wrench), I was able to perform a successful Mortal Kombat finishing move. Get Over Here!
Control Room
One of the joys of being the technical head of the simulation program here at UNE is the opportunity to reassess our operations and then go about refining our lab's systems. For the past year, I have felt frustration with the layout of the control rooms; in particular, the control room that doubles as my office.
The difficulty comes with the multi-function nature of the space: sometimes it is just an office where I program, cut video and eat lunch; other times it is chock full of people running a scenario (myself, faculty, actors, etc). When being shared by multiple people, we are constantly getting in each others' way: a beverage blocks the mouse I need to use, I have to squeeze past someone to get a microphone, everyone's backpacks/purses are tripped over. So I wanted to figure out a way to consolidate my systems and create a separation of "tech space" and "guest space."
Luckily I had the time to rearrange my multiple computer systems and the money to purchase a wall mount for a monitor. By moving stuff up and over, I was able to make my technician space and a public space clearly defined. Now, bags can go under the desktop or on the hooks mounted on the wall and faculty notes can be organized on top.
For UNE's Annual Spring Symposium, CSP was called on to help create and record several video vignettes relating to veterans' health issues. One of the vignettes focused on a soldier with an IED-related arm injury. Cynthia and I needed to doctor the actor's arm up for the videotaping, but did not want to spend a long time on the project. We chose to use a Laerdal rubber burn skin:
Intended for use on our SimMan, this piece easily slipped onto the actor's hand. We then wrapped the rubber hand and the actor's forearm in gauze, securing everything in place and adding that clinical touch. Here it is in action:
Lastly, exciting news! We received approval to purchase SimMan 3G a month or so ago (which I believe Cynthia mentioned previously on these pages) but we have now learned that he is on his way! While offering all the features of our current SimMan, 3G has several unique additions, the most obvious being his lack of wires…we get to go mobile with our adult simulation scenarios. 3G also brings a simple, quick to set up fluid system to our program: he'll bleed, cry, foam at the mouth and sweat at the drop of a hat. Look for an upcoming announcement of Mr. 3G's welcoming party!
That's all from the desk of the Wizard!

Is it OK to Dream About Other Men?
Are our bedtime fantasies healthy – or some kind of warning sign about your relationship?
-April Daniels Hussar
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were driving somewhere, and something reminded me of the dream I'd had the night before. I shared it with him and then, almost as an afterthought, said: "And Clive Owen was there at the end, flirting with me!" I laughed. My husband did not.
I couldn't believe it. He was miffed that I'd dream-flirted with Clive Owen. "Oh come on… it wasn't anything racy," I laughed. "And don't tell me you never dream about other women?!"
If he does, he wasn't telling me.
I decided to change the subject, but it got me thinking. Is it normal to dream about other men when you're in a committed relationship? Or is it equivalent to having a wandering eye when we're awake?
A quick survey of my friends, colleagues, contacts and experts backed up my feelings on this subject: not only is it totally normal to be dreaming about people other than our partners, it's quite common and basically harmless.
Most of the women I talked to seem to enjoy their dreams, but prefer to keep them to themselves:
Alice*, 22, has been with her boyfriend for about seven years. She confesses: "I've had a couple crushes while we've been together and these men always end up in my dreams. It's usually someone I met while out with friends or an old friend I ran into that I never thought was attractive in that way. I tend to forget most of these dreams, but usually they're pretty intense."
Does Alice tell her boyfriend? "It's not that he's insecure, but I think things like that aren't necessarily something to discuss. Truthfully, if it was the other way around, I'm not sure I'd want to know either. It's only a dream."
Read Why Women Lose Interest in Sex
As psychotherapist and relationship educator Dr. Gilda Carle says, "It's absolutely natural for us to fantasize about other men, even while we're having hot sex with our regular honey."
But, she cautions, "Whatever the case, do not, under any circumstances, tell your sweetie. He may already be intimidated by your gawking at Brad Pitt or even Dexter, so don't rub salt in his wound. Keep your fantasies to yourself."
Sounds like good advice for me, but I was surprised to discover that many women feel totally comfortable sharing their naughty dreams with their husbands – who, in turn, have figured out how to enjoy some fringe benefits.

AbelCine adds Codex Onboard S recorders
Purchase of the recorders [pictured] aims to support productions using the new digital cameras that generate high-resolution raw data.
US-based camera and accessories supplier AbelCine has purchased multiple Codex Onboard S camera recorders.
The purchase of the recorders aims to support productions using the new digital cameras that generate high-resolution raw data, including the Canon Cinema EOS C500 and the Arri Alexa.

Shipsides added that AbelCine will join with Codex to market and provide training for onboard S and other Codex products.
AbelCine East Coast rental manager Mike Nichols commented that Codex is the preferred choice among the company's cinematographer clients for recording raw data. "The Codex name is associated with reliability," Nichols explained. "It also has a wonderfully expansive feature set and attractive price point. Codex is the standard for digital cinema production."

Dr. Goodword wrote:'Twarnt nothin. I've lived through them all (well, most of them).
'Twarnt (or Twarnt) means It wasn't. The corresponding positive is Twas, as in the first line of Clement Clarke Moore's poem, A Visit From St. Nicholas, first printed in the Troy, New York, Sentinel:
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
I suspect that 'Twas, being a contraction of It was, has more legitimacy than 'Twarnt, which uses a non-standard verb form. 'Twasn't would be the proper contraction of It wasn't or It was not.
The Library of Congress has manuscripts from the Federal Writer's Project, 1936-1940. Among them is a transcript of an interview with a former slave, James Cape. Below is his description of herding horses during a hail storm, likening the stones themselves to the ball used in our national sport:
. . . "'Twas never hard fo' to drive de hosses, 'cause deys not skiddish 'bout [gwine?] on de stomp like de cattle am. 'Course if a bustin' storm comes in de face of the hosses den [deys?] will try fo' to run de tudder way.

Anchor successfully recovered from Puget Sound
An anchor believed by the recovery crew Anchor Ventures LLC to be from the HMS Chatham - part of the Captain George Vancouver expedition into the Pacific Northwest - was successfully raised from Puget Sound west of Central Whidbey Island today.
Anchor Ventures brought the raw iron anchor to the surface at about 6 p.m. after an hour slowly raising it from the depths. Divers spent most of the afternoon Monday trying different methods of freeing it from the seafloor with some barnacles attached and some pebbles rusted into it. Once loose, it was raised in a cradle in one piece, which brought peace of mind to one of the anchor's discoverers.
"I'm pretty overcome," said Scott Grimm, a member of Anchor Ventures who researched the anchor on antiquity. "It's been a long time."
The anchor was taken to the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend, where it will spend a few weeks in a saltwater tank before being transported to Texas A&M University for further study.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated August 11th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: About the way of the Mahdi, Iran acts as if she has been assigned to block the system of the Mahdi. Those people who advocate the system of the Mahdi the most became a group of people with the fiercest resistence against the system of the Mahdi. That is really very weird. The strongests proponents of the Mahdi became the strongest opponents of the Mahdi. For instance Iran is giving out a struggle against the system of the Mahdi with all its might.
My brother, how can there be an imaginary Mahdi? I mean, look at what they say. Their logic is completely rotten. They say that the Mahdi is in the houses of everyone. That huge person! They say that he would get into everyone's house. They say that he gets into their houses as a visual image or simply as a voice and they say that he is doing so right now. So the Mahdi, they claim, is sitting at our houses right this moment. I mean he is here at this moment and he is also else where at the same moment, he is in the houses of everyone. With an unfathomable, illogical interpretation they are trying to make people accept this nonsense, by changing the figurative meaning of the hadith, by distorting the ambiguous meaning of the hadith. Even they themselves do not believe in this and they drag people into this swamp. And atheistic way of thinking, the way of thinking that is against Allah is very widespread in Iran. The communist belief is very widespread in Iran.

Joining the history books along with Free Cone Day and whatever it is Taco Bell called the day they gave away those Doritos tacos, Chipotle will be selling pretty much everything on their menu for just $2 to anyone in costume on Halloween. They are calling it, of course, Boo-rito Day.
In previous years, the chain required patrons to dress as a burrito (see above) to get free stuff, but we're not convinced dressing as one as you eat one won't cause a space/time paradox. On top of the cheap grub, Chipotle will be donating all of the proceeds of the event to charity, so you can feel good as you stuff your face so much that you feel bad.
Alternatively, you can stay at home in your pajamas and cook some awesome Halloween grub for cheap, too.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The No.15-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team (18-8) dropped its NCAA South Region Tournament-I Championship match to the No.2-ranked Barry University Buccaneers (24-0), 5-0, Wednesday afternoon from the Buccaneer Tennis Center.
The loss brings the program's most successful season to a close, while solidifying the careers of seniors Jeanette McDonald and Selma Hidass.
The Lions were dealt a tough-luck 3-0 deficit after doubles, before dropping a pair of losses at four and six singles.
A fast-paced start, the Lions found themselves down 1-0 to the nation's second-ranked team as the No.2 pair of Julie Stas and Olivia Matuszak downed McDonald and Adrianna Daszkiewicz, 8-1. Barry followed by going up 2-0 as the three-flight tandem of Caroline Wendling and Linda Fritchken nipped the Lions' pair of Maria Benkirane and Hidass in a point-for-point struggle, 9-7. Another grueling match at top-flight doubles saw the Bucs' Mona Mansour and Cristina Valladares gain the upper hand in the tiebreak as they overturned Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton, 9-8 (6-4).
At singles, Barry increased its lead to 4-0 behind a straight-sets win at the six spot, 6-0, 6-3. Shortly after, the Buccaneers closed the match with a win at four singles as Matuszak won in consecutive sets, 6-1, 6-2.
Nonetheless, Kemkes and Singleton put up valiant efforts for the Green and Gold as they collected first set wins over Barry's top-two singles competitors before their matches went unfinished.
The Lions, losing only two competitors from the current squad, will hit the courts again next fall at the Varner Invitational.

Furby's, minature ride on cars, a frankenstien monster and a flying helicopter have made the list of what Canberra kids want for Christmas.
But the wish list will make gift giving an expensive exercise for mums and dads with the top ten items totalling more than $2000.
Children's toy retailer Toys R Us released their pre-christmas Top 10 toy list today. Taking the prize for most expensive, the bouncing backyard favourite - the trampoline will cost Santa's little elves $984.99.
While only three toys on the list would leave parents change from $100.
Gone are the days of simple sets of building blocks or moulding clay. These hi-tech toys use sophisticated technology ranging from voice recognition to a three-channel radio controlled, gyro stabilisation helicopter. The trampoline boasts a safety enclosure and new springs that promise an extra 60cm of bounce.
Spokeswoman from consumer advocate group Choice Ingrid Just said parents should be retail savvy.
"Some of these top ten toy lists that are being put out by toy retailers are essentially a catalogue so it's probably not surprising that you might see some high value items on that list," she said.
The average gift would set parents back $250 and Ms Just said parents should remember that there are cheaper alternatives to popular items.
"If your child does want a trampoline it doesn't mean you have to go out and buy one that's being advertised on a top ten list," she said.
"This time of the year if there's no science behind it then you can see that it's likely to be part of their advertising program or marketing for the year."
Although there is nothing wrong with releasing lists for inspirational ideas on what to buy for Christmas, Ms Just says children are usually comfortable with the basics.
"Depending on their age and stage kids can find fun and games in all sorts of ways," she said.
"What I do know for myself is that it's the homemade gifts... and time that is the greatest gift."

Just Who Is Kevin Playing For?
With the veto competition over this week, and Kevin's the winner (and if you're reading this then obviously you know we have spoilers) it comes down to either Jordan or Michele being evicted Tuesday.
Kevin now has that choice and could potentially guarantee himself final two, but at this point, he would have to actually play for himself. Question is, will he? (And don't get me wrong, my personal opinion is that I want Jordan to stay because I've been a JeJo fan from the start and am still heartbroken over Jeff leaving BUT read on for why he should evict her should he want a 100% guaranteed chance to get to final 2.)Details

Cricket is Canada's Game
The oldest rivalry in the history of international sports continued today as Canada and the USA took the field at the ICC America's T20 Championship in Florida.
Both teams were 3-0 heading into the game and the team of upstart Canadian's were keen to impose their mark on the tournament. Having lost this title last year in a lobsided final, Canada had revenge on its mind heading into Friday's clash and showed initative by winning the toss and putting themselves into bat.
Khushroo Wadia (56*) got Canada off to a lighting start in the game and with Jason Sandher (23), Canada were well placed for a large total. USA fought their way back into the game with a dogged effort from their spinners. None of the Canadian batsmen after 3 hit double figures and the target was a gettable 131.
USA got off to a quick start with Sushil Nadkani leading the way. Jimmy Hansra brought himself into the attack to stem the tide and the pressure began to mount on the USA. All the bowlers found themselves in the wickets and with the asking rate rising about 8, USA struggled to keep pace. Zahid Hussain held his nerves bowling the 20th over and Canada won by 10 runs.
Though not out of the woods yet, Canada's youngsters are now alone in first place with a match against last place Suriname to secure the title.
The win against a favoured American side, playing at home, was a shot in the arm for a Canadian team without many of its top players and puts Canada in place to obtain the final ICC America's trophy missing from the trophy cabinet.
President Ranjit Saini was proud of the team saying at the conclusion of the match.
Though we still have one more game to play, we are pleased with the team and our rookie captain. It just proves the point that we have been making all along. "Cricket in North America is Canada's Game". Cricket has survived and grown here despite harsh winters, short summers, a huge country and being away from major cricket centers.
The future is promising and we will take care of it in our own way. The Canadian way...respect for our differences, finding middle ways, being innovative and live within our means."
Canada takes on Suriname tomorrow.

The winter is coming to an end (at least in my part of the world ), and it's time to introduce our March Member of the Month!
He hasn't been around these forums for a very long time yet, but the quality of his contributions has caught the eye of the forum staff. This months award goes to... \\.\
I've asked him a few questions, which he's been kind enough to answer.
I have to say that this is a first, it is slightly unnerving that I win something, my luck tends to be more akin to the guy who steps on a a rake.
My username is based around Microsofts \\.\PhysicalDevice which, because the whole thing is a bit of a mouthful, I shortened it to \\.\ which is cryptic and in the world of search engines trying to search for \\.\ returns Your search - \\.\ - did not match any documents.
I did do some network administration on a course recognised by Microsoft, that was many years ago and in that course we looked at networks, setting up networks, installing primary and secondary domain controllers as well as active directory services, installing software, configuring computers (manually, as in not using scripting) to set up user access and privileges.
I have dabbled in *nix, well to be more exact I used Ubuntu for 3 years whilst Windows XP decided that everything on the computer it was installed on was malfunctioning or not working. I put Ubuntu on the machine and everything worked just fine and dandy, so this was obviously forced obsolescence by PC world, which is where the machine came from originally, not that I bought the machine, I inherited it from the father-in-law when he had upgraded to a dual core machine.
I eventually installed an OEM XP on the machine and no complaints from it, my son uses the machine now, it's a good 8 years old now.
I was in search of alternative viewpoints, interested in security aspects of PHP and it still amazes me that people still use $POST and $GET inputs directly and do not employ a whitelist and sanitizing regime.
It was about 1980~ish, computers were things that corporations and businesses could afford, I remember seeing the mainframe at my mums place of work, it was a Honeywell system, massive, took up three rooms of a building and supported 6 remote offices via dedicated lines, this was long before things like the internet existed… I was in Awe of it, it sparked my interest in computers.
School had a dinky, or more accurately a computer, it was the size of a large suitcase, it was a Z80 (not to be confused with a ZX80 or ZX81), an in my school year we didn't study computer science, the computer science teacher encouraged me to come in and take a seat at the computer, I remember it well, my first program was in BASIC
Many people these days would likely say Pffft, so what… for someone who had no formal training or ever used a computer before, it was a Woooo Hoooo moment, I had made a computer do something fun.
I took Computer Science as an option when we were choosing our options at the end of the school term.
That year we all had to share one computer, booking time to use the PC during class and after class, one night I was still at school at 9 pm, my mother was angry at me for not letting her know that I would be at school.
In 1981 the BBC Micro arrived on the scene, it had more processing power than the black box we were using, the school bought ten machines. Because the cost of disk drives and floppy drives was too much and to use tape recorders to save programs on would be too lengthy and impractical, the school bought some EPROMS and I along with 9 others were enlisted to write in to the machines the machine code that was needed to build the school's first network to network the Z80 which by then had a floppy drive, this was to allow people to save their programs to floppy disks.
I didn't appreciate it at the time but looking back, we had something at that school that was unique in respect to others, we had two different system architectures networked and this was long before the internet existed.
When I left school, I took computer science, I got bored with it because I was only learning again what I had already learned and because of a college admin putting me in the wrong option because they thought I had made a mistake, I couldn't transfer on to the other course they had where I could have looked at other languages like fortran, pascal and cobol. So I eventually stopped going.
A number of years was spent in various dead end jobs, each one had some form of computer that I used, one employer accused me of hacking when they found a program I had been writing looked like an attempt to access the company database, it was sloppy network security that I was able to access the database in the first place, I attempted to download the database to speed up the process of looking at the data structure and use QuickBasic to update the database to add the required information for the spare parts department that was lacking. They moved me sideways and installed a muppet to do the computer work, I was banned without being told and I had exposed just how vulnerable that database was to hacking.
I left that company and spent a couple of years unemployed, I moved up to Worcester and took an evening course in C programming, I was babysitting for my sister who needed to go to work and to help me my, at my request, my brother-in-law put together a computer out of old parts and MSDos 6.22 and Delphi C, Tec College used Borland C, not much difference but I was able to do course work and baffle the tutors with my programming, especially when we had to deal with pointers… Suddenly I was writing programs that from what I saw was beyond the understanding of the tutors.
On the web dev side of things, I knew plenty of people who started a move from programming and moved in to the internet side of computer work, I had no such access at that time and it passed me by. I eventually was in a position to have quality broadband access when I moved to a city larger than Worcester and had a major cable network.
That was in 1998, I played for a while with creation of networks, was a prolific downloader on peer to peer, ran full web services like email, ftp server, web server from home and I part of a user group that was a file share group. Eventually the MPAA and RIAA in a joint exercise busted the US side of the operation, as I was in the UK, the US authorities had no jurisdiction other than to complain to my ISP They made lots of hollow threats and I flicked them the bird.
In 2005 I took another college course in HTML and JavaScript, it ran on a Saturday morning, I was mainly interested in CSS and JavaScript from an implementation point, I hadn't at that point considered user forums, only forums I knew of at that time were on Yahoo and they were notoriously unfriendly. I kept on hearing IRC as a buzz word, I ignored it as I was getting my advice out of books and in a classroom and not from some unreliable source of information or group that was trying to hack my PC.
Internet security was more interesting to me in the early part of my online activity, I spent allot of time looking at it from finding that my computer which was behaving strangely and I found that someone had initiated a delete request, so I pulled the power plug, saved my PC but lost about 30% of my data. It was a minor setback and I sacked Norton Firewall.
I progressed with my internet journey and built my first website for my partner (as you do) and she was very unappreciative of my efforts or advice on design that I had learned from college classes.
My first commission was a local painter and artist, it was a budget build and as a favour I built the site, all five pages of it for £80, I based this in the fact that they were static pages except for one page that was requiring JavaScript programming to make the gallery work. I also got his URL in the top 4 searches of all major search engines that were in operation at the time, this I think put one of his friends, a local writer, put her nose out of joint because her site was appearing somewhere like on page 20 of search results.
So she queered my patch, incorporated his site as a set of pages in her site, the artist then complained to me about his site not appearing in the top 10 results and I found out why, explained that his friend had destroyed his site and page ranking and said it was my opinion she wanted to monopolize on his ranking to get her site up in the top 10 and she had gone about it the wrong way, so much for her being a web designer and if he wanted the site put up again it will be full price and not what I originally did as a favor.
I then devoted some time to forums, helping out and largely gave up web dev as a bad idea as no one I had done work for was ever satisfied with what they got despite all work being robust and compliant at that moment in time. So I found problem solving and code busting in forums much more rewarding.
That took a sideways step after a brief period as an independent MP, I built the website for that and web forums that the group used, we disbanded in 2009 as our job of kicking the political parties up the rear had been done.I returned to web forums and web coding after break due to work and then ill health that now keeps me in a position where work options are limited, returning to web development would be nice but I don't want another episode of having to pull machetes out my back from people poaching and queering my patch.
I have interests in programming, problem solving and helping where I can and also learning.
In a nutshell… hate them. While they may provide help in rapid development for people who know little about programming or HTML, my argument is that they take away jobs, they are bad for an industry that is despite its appearance, fragile. You are also reliant on others work and I am at heart a JavaScript purist, why load several hundred lines of code when you only need a dozen? Doesn't make sense to me and is a waste of resources, the internet would much faster if it wasn't having to transport trillions of kb of data unnecessarily freeing up bandwidth.
LOL, I used to do target practice, biggest thing I ever shot was a 5mm dot on a target. My other signature I favour is one that quotes "I laughed that hard, I burst my colostomy bag", shouldn't take my signature seriously in regards to shooting stuff although I wanted to join the armed forces when I was younger as an armourer or sniper, despite being a good shot, I wasn't able to join, I scored 97% on my aptitude test, I figure the CO at the interview saw me as a threat or free thinker and onlu was interested in drones.
To be honest, I haven't read about it, however, any moves to a different platform should consider the end user and be seamless and not then present problems to the end user like having to make a new account. As for improvements, I quite like some elements of Stackoverflow in regard to code recognition and pushing people towards formatting code blocks, a problem with newbies who post blocks of code without consideration, some people are just lazy, presentation is important, it is not "everything" but it is important to present well in order to get somewhere quicker as in answers.
I do voluntary work for Emmanuel House (http://www.emmanuelhouse.org.uk/site/fundraising_resources ) which saw a cut of £330,000 to its budget when this current government ceased funding to charities that help the unemployed and homeless. So now this short fall is expected to be found by alternative means and there's a real threat that this centre could face further down scaling or closure.
The charity shop provides enough income to employ one member of staff, that member of staff does valuable work and can be helping more than 100 people at any given moment, other funding is sourced from businesses that donate clothing from stock they no longer need that can be sold in the shop, cash donations and fundraising from the general public by donation.The service users hard being hard hit, they are made up of various cultures, each person is suffering hardship and is in need of help and guidance to help them navigate Camerons harsh reforms which has been proven that they don't need to make the £500,000,000 saving when the DWP announced that £16,000,000,000 went unclaimed in welfare last year.
Q. What other interests do you have besides computers?
A. I have lots of interests and I would love to be in a position to experiment, I enjoy inventions and scratching out ideas and looking at how things can be re-purposed.
I wonder why some people expend countless hours debunking when further research could be accomplished and then discredited if needed. The laws of physics, for example was written some 300 years ago and has never been challenged until now, before then ideas existed, were challenged and debunked, so what is wrong with challenging the second law of thermo dynamics? Things built now are precise and on a level of efficiency that never existed before, what if you could get out more than you put in? Do not step up transformers do just that?!?!
In my humble opinion, to simply accept a thing as being true and factual is a crime, thinking outside the box and looking beyond what we are told is a fact as to challenge existing train of thought is important and something that should be taught at school over what children are taught today.
So my spare time is split between volunteering, web forums for welfare and for programming, throwing around ideas and concepts for invention.
Thank you for taking the time to share a bit about yourself, and congratulations on being chosen as Member of the Month for March 2014.
Congratulations \\.\
That was an interesting read.
In 1981 the BBC Micro arrived on the scene
I still have a zx81 in the loft somewhere along with a BBC micro I remember trying out my first basic program on it:
let eggs = 12;
Congratulations on the award, @111 ;Did we actually clarify how that is pronounced?What about slasher (owing to all of the slashes, of course)?
Snap (although in my case it's a zx48k and a BBC micro).My first serious program on the BBC micro was a set of traffic lights (exciting times).My second serious program on the BBC micro, spoofed the school's login page and stole students login credentials. It worked just great, but as soon as we saw the passwords pouring in, the guy I wrote it with got cold feet and deleted everything.
A hacker was born
I wrote an invoicing and stock control program all in basic and we actually used it at work for a number of years. It's amazing what you could do in 32k in those days
Very interesting interview guys! And congratulations \\.\
keep it up.
Congratulations, \\.\! An interesting interview.

Hehe, very shrewd.
Tut tut. Sitepoint does not have a PEARL area.
Otherwise, interesting interview.
Oops. I've corrected that error.You're one sharp eyed cat.
Thanks for responses people, it is appreciated.
Love the BBC login page spoof, LOL. 32k was huge in terms of computing, the ZX81 that I has only had the 1K of on board ram and machine programming a game took hours. Was all good fun though.

CLEVELAND, Texas - Police have arrested four men accused of stealing more than $30,000 worth of watches from a jewelry store.
Lamonte Jermaine Haskett, Larry Wayne Brown, Nathaniel Earl Ross and Alfred James Godine were charged with burglary. According to investigators, the suspects left a trail of destruction and led police on a dangerous chase early Monday morning.
Store owner Bobby Coats received an alert from his alarm company that his store, Cleveland Jewelers, had been broken into.
Coats told investigators that a window had been busted and several men went inside and stole thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
"Mostly they got our watches, our Citizen watches and Seiko watches," he said. "They didn't have time to do anything else."
Police said as they were investigating, they noticed a silver SUV driving erratically. They tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver took off and a chase began, officials said. Investigators said the chase started in Cleveland and ended in Kingwood after reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.
"I'm just thankful they don't come here during the day," Coats said. "I'd rather they'd come at night because I don't want to get hurt or be robbed at gunpoint."
Cleveland police said the suspects could be linked to other crimes in the Houston area.
Police were able to recover the stolen merchandise.
Suspect Nathaniel Ross was also charged with evading arrest.

LG Rumor Touch Review
0. phoneArena posted on 31 Mar 2010, 02:20
LG has had a lot of success with their Rumor line on Sprint, along with variants on Alltel and now Verizon Wireless. However, two generations in more of the same will no longer do for Sprint customers so LG has made some major changes to the third member of the Rumor family. As the name implies, the Rumor Touch adds a touch screen to the familiar side-sliding design, but the upgrades don't stop there...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Virgin Mobile also has this phone now too. Before you buy this phone, you should check into its difficulties with installing 3rd party apps, ringtones, and wallpapers. I have the phone through Virgin Mobile and it is pretty locked down. Sprint has a little more freedom. The best site on the web right now to learn about all these feature work around is @ Hubpages. http://hubpages.com/_stumbleU/

I did not realize that this phone did NOT come with a manual. The options are to get on your computer EVERY time you have a question or PRINT 122 pages. I contacted customer service, several times, and was told basically 'tough ---"; they can't (won't?) help me. What about people that do not have access to a computer, time to sit on their computer, or can't afford to print out 122 pages? If I had realized a manual was not included I would not have purchased this item. As to their customer service, they don't seem to want me as a customer. So I will use this phone for my 300 minutes. I will return it. I will purchase another phone/provider. AND I will post this on every board I can find. With this economy, wouldn't you think they would be trying to KEEP customers?

A manual IS included with the phone

I would NOT recommend the LG Rumor Touch. It's got lots of features, but interface is extremely un-intuitive and locked down, so you aren't allowed to add apps or customize it. Although there is a video camera, it's only 2MP and lacks a flash or sound so will be crude. The phone does not support wifi, tethering, Android, or Adobe Flash. The CPU is very slow if you have more than a few photos or MP3 in it. The touch screen isn't fast or precise enough , so you often end up choosing the wrong feature. If you want to load all your existing phone contacts there's no way to do it other than manually, and to backup your contact list you have to pay a monthly fee for the Contact Vault. Also the Email + IM app is designed to exit from memory after a short time so you can't enjoy push technology. The vendor rarely comes out with software updates. The best thing about this phone is nice keyboard and good IM software for all the major services, but a full battery charge will only last about half a day.

This Phone has tons of soft bugs
the worst ones are :
the crush of the youtube player after 7min
music player that do not play on background
it's sucks.

After the 3rd phone in 6 months, the first two were replaced due to faulty screen, bad battery, and both had software bugs, I gave it to my daughter to use as a toy and am now using my old trusty Fusic until the contract expires and I can shift carriers.
9. boomerdude (unregistered)
Don't get this phone. Worked ok as just a phone for almost a year, then the battery went dead after just a few hours. Sprint replaced it with a refurbished one but kept the same battery. Same problem..they got ANOTHER phone...same problem...they replaced the battery...same problem...etc. etc. etc. I had to pay $35 for the first replacement!!! I am still dealing with the problem. Called LG and they say to mail the phone to them they'll check it. 4 weeks with not resolution (I did get Sprint to credit the $35 to my account). I'm sure these phones are faulty in some way...they seem to have plenty of refurbished phones on hand. I think I'll reactivate my old phone for the remaining year on my contract, which is good for SXXT.

is there anthing good about this phone........if there is please write it down

My daughter has aroumor touch by sprint and its the first phone i have found too frustrating to learn. As a tech junkie by nature i like to check out all the different features the phone itself offers without apps and pc and network provider assistance. I find alot of time with this was just making the touchscreen respond to scrolling.it either scrolled past what i needed uncontrolably or selected what I touched to start the scroll then it made it an ordeal to figure out how to get back to where I was. Finally.altho im aware it isnt a smart phone It should have a way to easily back up information on it to a computer or the internal msd. like sms and IM conversations and contacts without having to be the account holder of the wireless account. I dont want to have to deal with sprint or anyother customer service via web or phone ieverytime anyone on my plan just wants to save something they may want to protect from loss of device, User Guide was included but not helpful.

I've had this phone for an entire year and I've only had very minor problems with it, each have been easily fixed. Though when I first got the thing, It crashed and deleted everything, pictures, contacts, etc. It wouldn't log onto the internet, and the FB app didn't work without having to log back in every 10 minutes, but I took it and got it upgraded and I've had no problems since. The touch screen [for me] is reliable and very in touch with my motions. It loads web pages that my Rumor 2 wouldn't, My FB app is always reliable and never signs me out anymore. This has been /the most reliable phone I have ever had./ /EVER/ Even after several very bad falls, It's never broken, glitched out, or become unreliable. An entire year later, I still have this phone and despite it's scratched screen and dents here and there, it still works like it's brand new. My Videos have sound and good quality, My MP3 player works in the background while I'm on FB all day, and by the end of the day I have two bars left in the battery, [Though not it's original battery that easily broke open after a bad fall] and I do /NOT/ want to give it up. I love this phone. I don't trust any others, because every phone I've had has been unreliable, but this one. I have it through print. Simple. Easy. Durable. Good quality phone.
MUCH MUCH MUCH Better than the Rumor 2 or 1. Both of which I have had as well, and they only lasted 6 months before breaking down and becoming unreliable.

The LG Rumor was an upgrade for me from the Samsung Rant. At the time of upgrade purchase, I had a 30 day return policy which I tried to exercise during that time because I had some issues with the phone. I was told that I could indeed return it but would have to pay a $35 restocking fee. The sales rep told me that my issues were more than likely due to "work on the towers" and would probably correct itself. So I opted to keep it and hoped he was right. He wasn't. After many calls to Sprint Customer Service I had a supervisor tell me that it sounded to him like my "handset was bad" and he offered to replace it with a refurbished unit. I did not take him up on that, but instead went back to my Samsung Rant which had never given me one bit of trouble - in fact I had jumped into my pool with it in the pocket of suit and after using the "rice" technique, it still works like a charm. Don't know if I happened to get a "lemon" with the Rumor or it's just Sprint's service, but after my contract is up, will be looking at other options more carefully. I would, however, think twice about purchasing a Rumor.

As someone who can't and doesn't want to pay extra for the smart phone plans, I think the rumor touch is a decent compromise between a basic phone and a smart phone. Just activated it last night and like it so far.
16. Lillyreview (unregistered)
I have had alot of problems with this phone. It is so bad I would not call it a phone. I have had many battery problems, email, social metworking, screen, and internet problems. Sprit has replaced my phone 7 times now in a year. This a very very very crapy phone. I would not recomend it to anyone.
17. Guest (unregistered)
I havehad this phone 4 a little over a year now and i have never had any problems with it. I love this phone and i have no idea what u r all talking about.
18. Pmd (unregistered)
I got a used rumor touch from a friend of mine, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. I now see why he got rid of it. The headphone jack doesn't work properly, and neither does the USB charger port. And then theirs the problem of it not sending texts, the internet browser on it not even loading, and just general pains in the arse. Don't get this phone!
19. GeekMovement (unregistered)
This phone was loyal for 3 months and then it started to restart on its own, black the screen while I typed a text message, and sometimes the screen was unresponsive. Quite frustrating after a while, but the keyboard is pretty nice and the UI is different from many feature phones so that was a plus for me. Design is ok, not a huge fan, but can't complain. I never treat my phones carelessly so when I start experiencing these problems, it's a problem in the phone, not me.

i bought my first rumor touch phone in november 2010. by march the phones guts were fryed,i lost all my contacts, sprint charges you $35 for a new phone unless its insured..so its eaither go with out a phone for weeks untill lg fixes it or pay the $35 bucks to sprint for a replacement.. october 2011.. my latest phone [replacement rumor] has the screen starting to distort and the touch screen died! again its pay sprint $35 or have no phone.. personaly there decent when they work ..but only getting 5 months out of a phone ..that blows! at least when you call LG you get a mexican and not a packie and people wonder why the u.s is falling apart..so much for customer service and a worthless 1 year warrenty!.. the ultimate dude
21. VonWeber (Posts: 1; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
I'm not much of a phone freak, and this is only my second cell phone since I started using them. With that said, I don't like this phone either. I've had no problems with it breaking down (yet) but I find it clumsy to use. I like the keypad, but I don't like trying to scroll down my list of contacts and having it scroll past the one I wanted time after time. The interface is not very intuitive, whoever designed it didn't 'fall in love with it ' and get it just right. Keeps going back to locked mode when I don't want it to, screen goes dark before I'm ready, even on the longest setting. I wind up clicking on something I didn't mean to just trying to hold it and then not being allowed an easy way out of what I accidentally selected. I miss the speaker phone option I had with my Sanyo flip phone. As I don't opt for apps, I don't really test it that way, and I only got it because I got talked into it by the Sprint rep who apparently just wanted to make sure I was locked into another two year contract. I'm thinking about just going back to my old one and waiting out the contract also, when I'll probably sign up for Verizon. Maybe I'll get an i-Phone...

Am I the only one who can't download pictures to my computer via bluetooth? Went to the Sprint store and the tech couldn't either. It would only recognize pics on another LG phone. The computer sees music, but not pics. Have to transfer pics to the memory card and download with a card reader. This sucks! Can anyone help me?
23. yeahbuddy5067 (Posts: 1; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
I would NOT reccomend this phone to ANYBODY because you can barely customize it. also it is extremely boring after like a week or two because the enternet is slow and you cant do anything to fix it. so if you think this phone is going to be great well you must read the comments about it first! DONT GET THIS PHONE!
24. Christasmom (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
I had the Rumor Touch with Sprint and Virgin Mobile because I am a person who doesn't really like a lot of change or switching up but I will tell you what it's nothing I would ever recommend to a family member or friend! I don't like how you can't download ringtones, how it always calls people back it's worse than a Crackberry with butt calls and what not! It gets the worse reception ever! Only thing it was good for is being durable I dropped it numerous amount of times and it lasted until my daughter dropped it and let it get ran over by a car! The internal wiring messes up on it more than anything! I paid a little under a $100 for the VM Version and should have went with the Mirror by Boost Mobile if I was going to stick with pre paid because at least I didn't have to worry about the RING TONE blocking thing! That really sucked!IMO

I've had this phone a little more than two years, it's my first phone so I don't have anything to compare it too but I do know its not the best. A month after getting it would randomly turn itself off if I typed to fast and wouldn't send messages. The message problem was fixed easily by popping out the battery for a few seconds. But now I find myself removing the battery constantly in order to send a message. The battery has a small crack in it from being dropped once on the carpet. The top part that slides is starting to come loose from the lower part. The back pops off easily(even in my purse and pocket). Camera was ok once I figured out how to change settings to meet my photography needs. The Internet is good though pictures often won't load so I need to pop the battery out again. Call service is great, though! No static, even at long distance, easy to get signals, clearly hear the other person and easy to add contacts and find contacts in the phones address book. So it you just need a portable phone to call people then this phone is perfect but if you want to use it for Internet or texting I suggest a different phone.

I have had this phone for about a year and a half. I use Virgin Mobile as my service provider and that's where my problems lie. I have had a few battery issues and an occasional but rare FREEZE. The camera is OK but no flash. Touchscreen is decent. I use my phone to listen to music all the time but unfortunately you can't do anything else while listening. I can call and text/photo message quickly and easily. I can also use the internet (Google, email, Facebook, YouTube (SHORT videos ONLY-nothing over about 4 or 5 min MAX). The internet connection is PAINFULLY slow and can't download Apps or anything like that. All in all I'm satisfied with the phone. Virgin Mobile is pretty crappy but I only pay $25 bucks a month for unlimited messaging and data usage. Plus 300 talk minutes (which I never EVER use). I guess you really do get what you pay for.

ENMORE Park's David Dixon scrambled to the Marston's West Region PGA Championship at The Players Club, near Bristol, by one-shot, beating player-of-the-season Michael Watson who won the OOM title for the first time in more than 20 years.
Yet it was achieved after the most bizarre hole he has ever played.
He had extended his three-shot overnight lead to five over his playing partner by the time he stood on the tee of the 173-yard 13th hole with a 7-iron in his hand.
He was cantering home – or so it seemed.
Then he hooked his first ball into the water and followed with an identical shot. His third ball just found the edge of the green but then he three-putted from 35 feet for an eight.
He also made his solitary bogey at the unlucky 13th in a magnificent opening seven-under-par 65 that defied horrendous wet and windy conditions.
The pair swapped shots until the 156-yard 16th when Watson (Wessex Golf Centre) pulled his seven-iron into the water to fall one behind. And that was how it ended, although Dixon did not realise he had won after a one-under 71 and total of 136.
Dixon said: "I was five under after 12 holes and hadn't hit a bad shot all day. My brain was melting as I have never had an eight on a par three before. That was when I thought our scores were level and we were heading for a play-off because of the confusion.
"But it made it exciting for the final few holes and winning is winning. It had been a real setback but I kept strong and gave myself a chance on every hole coming back.
"We are both in the Play-Offs and that was my goal when the season started. It's going to be a busy November as then I go to final Tour school qualifying."
Watson won the Order of Merit and the pair will be joined in the Play-Offs in Turkey by Richard Dinsdale (Parc Golf Academy) who claimed third spot.

i have a website which is related to forum community but when i am going to submit this in website either by html tag method or by uploading html file to ftp . in both cases i am getting the error message . your website is not verified
Note: i have installed PHPBB script for this forum but i have already clear the cache after placing the html tag but still not finding any way to verify. the same verification problem is happing with my another website which is service based site installed word press on it.
Both the webiste i have booked from godaddy . is there is problem occuring from domain providers side or not..
this is unique thing i am getting. i have used other alternative methods in website to verify the website but still not waiting for OK verification message.
HELPPPPP !!! :injured::(
When you uploaded Google's verification file to your server, did you then follow the link in GWT to check that it has been uploaded correctly?
yes i have followed the link GWT and i shows broken link but for another website it shows ok. but still for both i am getting the error.
If it's showing a broken link, then you haven't placed the file correctly, and you won't be able to verify the site. Google needs to be able to find the file at the expected URL.
How long has it been since you tried to verify the other site? If you're able to view the file at the expected link, are you sure it isn't being blocked from Google by a robots.txt file?
After your reply i have then applied your thoughts and again do the same thing . still i am facing the problem
i upload the file to public html directory on hosting domain panel and file uploaded and verified but google is not verifying in google webmaster
i have uploaded the attachments please see below
The error message from Google is saying that the server timed out. If I remember rightly, Google will try again (one of my sites didn't verify at the first attempt), or you can just try again later. If you keep getting the same error message, then you might want to contact your hosting company.
ok i will contact them and get back to you if i find still the same problem
If we get the access for DNS zone section for my website from hosting providers then what values and modification we need to do for it. can you please help us out little bit more in this
I don't think the DNS settings have anything to do with it. Google reported that the connection timed out. If you continue to receive the same message from Google, then you need to ask your hosting provider if there's an ongoing problem with the server. (Not least because if Google is encountering this problem, potential visitors may also be encountering it.)

There's an interesting little nugget in today's Hugo Boss Q3 results: part of the reason for the 14% fall in net profit of the German powerhouse was due to "the switch to four equally sized collections a year," according to chief executive Claus-Dietrich Lahrs. Yes they also talked about the slowdown in China, but they didn't seem that bothered by it, and this seemed more significant. It made me think, once again, about the gap between the fashion show system and the shopping system – and wonder if the current financial system is not, after all, responsible for the gulf. Not because it demands constant growth (though that's part of it), but because it gets people thinking in quarters as opposed to halves.
The conversion had associated manufacturing and delivery costs, and, of course, they had to educate the consumer about the fact there was new stuff in store. Of course, in the long run this should actually up revenues in all quarters. As Mr Lahrs said, the idea is to "incentivize customers to visit their shops regularly." And he and his gang expect winter collection sales to be up.
It did make me think, once again, about the gap between the fashion show system and the shopping system – and wonder if the current financial system is not, after all, responsible for the gulf. We tend to see it as a creeping moral corruption, but maybe it's simply straightforward numerical congruency: if you are reporting four times a year, it makes sense to have four collections to report on.
Granted, this is extrapolation, because not every brand is public. However, it seems to me that since most of the big, industry-driving brands are listed, it's only logical to assume their behaviour will influence everyone's behaviour.
Indeed, I wonder if it's this development that is really behind the all-deliveries-all-the-time situation we are in, as opposed to the fact that everyone can see stuff on-line as soon as it is shown, that early adopters all demand the ability to buy winter coats in July, and shopping has turned into a social activity.
Maybe, instead of blaming culture and shameless marketers for our transformation into serial shoppers, we should look to the need for quarterly reports to explain the evolution from the two-show system to the four-collection cycle. It's not nearly as sexy or morally provocative to discuss financial reporting as consumption, but – well, Occam's razor, and all that.
