While it certainly won't win any awards for title creativity, the turn-based strategy Fantasy Wars delivers exactly what its name promises—straightforward, low-frills fantasy battles that bring about all the warm fuzzy feelings of a solid tabletop miniatures game.
Game play takes place on a hex-based map, dotted with hills, forest, and fantasy towns. Players decide which of their units to drop around their starting base (up to the missions quota), and then the fun begins. Factions take turns commanding each of their units with a move and/or attack order. Since all the units of a single side get a move before the enemy can respond, care must be taken not only in the attack, but also in preparation for enemy retaliation. Leaving poorly-defended support units in a vulnerable position can lead to complete mission disaster in a single turn's time. And the AI is pretty good about honing in on those weak links in formation, to a point where frequent saves and reloads become necessary, especially when trying to achieve the almost Herculean tasks of achieving the "silver" or "gold" turn-limit objectives.
The units are a decent mix of fantasy stereotypes, from human archers and knights to gibbering goblins and hulking trolls. Most of the units can are one of three types: ranged, melee, or skirmish. Ranged units can attack from afar, melee fighters get up close and personal with the chance for enemy retaliation, and skirmish fighters get unopposed melee attacks against all but other skirmish units. The units only have a few stats, such as movement range, attack strength, and defense. What teases each unit apart are the perks—different abilities and weaknesses based on unit type. Armor piercing attacks, spells, movement bonuses and terrain specialties are common positive perks, while negatives include "impetuous", meaning units blindly charge into battle against a nearby enemy, or "lazy", reducing overall movement points. In addition to basic units, which actually represent a squad of individuals, there are also Hero units. These hero units are often much stronger than their basic unit counterparts, and they gain a wider range of abilities and perks.
Units gain experience as they damage their foes, and in doing so they gain levels. A level-up means the units gets a little better in their abilities, in addition to gaining their choice of a beneficial perk. These level-ups allow players to customize units to their strategic liking, perhaps focusing some units on sieges, while allowing others to excel in woodland or hill combat. Since units can be carried from mission to mission, it's vital to keep these alive as much as possible, as a high-level unit is much more valuable than a just-purchased newbie. As campaigns progress, the units can also be upgraded to more powerful forms, further adding to veteran unit value.
The campaigns themselves are pretty well done, although the story tying everything together is quickly forgettable: the Humans and Orcs are once again at odds, and there's a big demon rampaging around mucking everything up, as seems to happen in just about every game with a fantasy twist. Each mission is detailed through an opening briefing, giving the primary objectives and possibly some of the optional quests. Each mission also has a bonus for completion under a certain turn-limit, but these are brutal requirements. I like to take my time and completely explore the map, and reaching even a "silver" victory often means that I had to forego all interesting side-notes and barrel almost recklessly toward my objective. Perhaps with greater experience I could field my armies to efficiently tackle these bonuses, but at my current skill level I have no chance.
The graphics are bright, colorful, and cartoony, which works fairly well with the feel of the game. While they aren't the best I've seen, they do give me the pleasant feeling like I'm pouring over a nice table-top miniatures game. In a nice twist, giant pieces represent entire squads of units, but zooming in allows players to see the every individual in the squad. Attacks are frequently shown with some cinematic flair, which I actually liked, and even more I was impressed that these tiny cutscenes could be skipped with a quick mouse click. Sounds effects are generally solid, and the voice work isn't too bad. I found the interface to be nice and clean, with simple navigation and control. I was a bit disappointed with the manual, however, as it seemed to lack a nice chart of the various perks and abilities, making it tricky to try to plan out my units' progression.
Although Fantasy Wars is quite solid, and I found very little to complain about, I also was never "wowed" by any moments in the game. A great game will drag me in with story or gameplay or overall atmosphere, and this just never happened here. Much like a table-top miniatures game, I enjoyed myself while playing, but I could quickly pack up and move on to something a bit more intriguing and not give much of a glance back. Those looking for solid turn-based tactical fantasy battles will find that, and not much else. Fantasy Wars is a decent title, but it won't be winning any converts to the turn-based fold.

I've heard some recent discussions about parental concerns over Halloween: Some families do not celebrate Halloween because of competing religious beliefs; others consider Halloween to be too scary for young children; still others cite concerns over other issues (i.e. it being a "pagan" holiday).
I'm curious how teachers and administrators are dealing with this. How can we take advantage of this potentially engaging learning opportunity while respecting the very valid concerns of parents?
I think a lot of the concerns you mentioned are valid and should be carefully considered. However, there are many related topics that you can discuss with children of all ages to take advantage of the season and time of year. Possible topics include candy, harvest, pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns, giving, sharing, etc.
Wonderopolis offers a variety of related Wonders of the Day that parents and educators can use to engage children in Halloween-related topics. Here are a couple to check out:
Wonder of the Day #379: Can You Grow Candy Corn?
Wonder of the Day #373: What Is a Jack-O'-Lantern?
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the tips, Duane! One day I've got to try making my own candy corn. I wonder how the taste would compare to store-bought varieties?
Sarah Jane
I've never made homemade candy corn, but like most things homemade, it would probably taste better than the packaged stuff in stores. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
Hi, Sarah. Our schools have "favorite book character day." It lets the kids dress up and encourages reading with particular themes, authors, genres. :-)
That's a really creative idea, thanks for sharing it, Patricia! I think I'd dress up as Pipi Longstocking or Anne of Green Gables. Do you do have students dress up like literary characters on Halloween, or another day of the year?
Each of our 3rd grade students "adopts" a baby pumpkin. In math, we weigh in grams, measure circumference, describe color, shape, features, etc. - and draw a picture of the pumpkin - all recorded in a pamphlet. Next, each pumpkin gets to dress in character from the student's favorite book. This is done as homework. The pumpkin usually represents the head of the book character. Hair might be added, or a beard, a hat, a scarf, earrings, etc. The student records the hair and eye color, name of the book, name of the character, and a favorite quote from the book. We then have a pumpkin parade (which coincides with Halloween). At each student's desk, their baby pumpkin is displayed in character, along with a copy of the book, and their pamphlet with all of the recorded data. The 3rd grade classes all tour each others' rooms to see the displays.
Wow, Fran, that's quite the interdisciplinary project! You've got math, literature, writing, science, art, and seasonality all incorporated there.
The only thing I can think to add would be a social studies angle, perhaps about the history of the cultivation of the pumpkin, or where it grows and is eaten around the world. But of course, that's just the geographer in me talking.
Thanks for sharing your story, I hope others can benefit from it as much as I have!
This is my first Halloween living outside the US. Here in Australia, people are fascinated by Halloween and ask me many questions. Halloween is slowly catching on here and kids LOVE to get dresses up. The US Embassy has a huge Halloween party and every American kid (there are 250 kids assigned to the US Embassy) can invite one friend. It is a hot ticket if you are lucky to score a ticket to the US Embassy on Halloween. On this note, Halloween is truly an American tradition, most of us just celebrate it for the joy of our kids being able to dress up, get candy and have fun. What if we emphasize that Halloween isn't just about scary ghost or a "pagan" holiday, but it is about making family memories and celebrating American traditions.
Hi Tammy,
That's a unique angle on it, thanks from sharing a perspective from downunder! I can certainly relate to your experience--I studied abroad in Australia from July-November of 2005, and I was tickled by the Aussie's fascination with Halloween (that and peanut butter, I could make a lot of money selling Reeses in Australia!). You're right that we can sometimes forget about the fact that this is a distinctly American holiday, and an important part of family and community traditions.
I like your approach to the subject, and to approach all holidays from a bit of a cross-cultural, anthropological slant. Another experience I had while in Australia was to celebrate "Christmas in July." Because of Australia's location in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas falls in their summer. So, by celebrating in July, they place the holiday within their winter, as is the tradition to celebrate in Western Europe and North America. This practice is certainly a reflection of Australia's European colonial routes. It's also a bit of their version of Halloween, as they dress up in all kinds of festive holiday gear. A great tradition and an interesting educational topic.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
Sarah Jane
Keep an eye out on Monday for a new Wonder of the Day about trick-or-treating. It's actually this part of Halloween that's an American creation...although it has its roots in established traditions from other countries from long ago.
The other aspects of the Halloween holiday have evolved over time from centuries-old traditions from other countries. For history on the jack-o'-lantern, for example, check out Wonder of the Day #373: What Is a Jack-O'-Lantern?!
Great teaser, Duane. Now I'll have to check out Monday's Wonder of the Day for sure.
I had a lengthy discussion with my 6th grade special ed resource room students yesterday about Halloween safety. We find that pre-during-and post Halloween some of our students get really hyper and tend to use the holiday as an excuse to get involved in bad behavior activities. It's so bad in this area that some of our parents will not send their kids to school on Halloween Monday, fearing for their child's safety. Many of our teachers discussed Halloween safety because we know that there is the potential for a lot of problems during this time. We had a Halloween party after school yesterday and encouraged our students to celebrate the holiday in a safe setting at school. My resource room students told stories of friends being pelted by eggs last year, of kids being roughed up on the streets while trick or treating so at our school we spend a good amount of time talking about staying safe on Halloween. I even feel that we should post Halloween safety tips on our district site --maybe we will in the future.
Hi Bev,
Thanks for your comment. You bring up an issue not previously discussed in this forum, and I'm so glad you did.
Safety is a matter of serious concern on Halloween! From dark streets to running children to predatory individuals, there are many dangers to consider when trick-or-treating. And that includes teenagers, who once they outgrow the more innocent activities of youth can seize on Halloween as an opportunity for vandalism and for picking on their younger siblings and classmates.
It's great that you are being proactive about these issues and talking directly to some of the kids most likely to be tempted into questionable activities. Showing how Halloween can still be fun without being dangerous, by hosting parties and designing costumes and haunted houses, or even by doing a controlled science experiment involving smashing eggs or pumpkins in a safe setting, is a good approach to channel students' high energy into more productive activities.
Thanks again for bringing these important issues to light. Have a Happy Halloween!

Thinkfinity offers a special feature on Halloween with many lesson ideas. There is also another discussion in the Community related to studying or celebrating Halloween--How can you celebrate or study Halloween and other similar occasions in the classroom, like the Mexican Day of the Dead?
A search of Thinkfinity provides 21 lessons related to Halloween. They cover a variety of ideas including cultural traditions, literary selections, decorating secrets from the theater, listening activities, student interactives, and so much more.
A fun activity from ReadWriteThink is the Pumpkin Carving Sequencer for grades K-2.
You raise some valid concerns in your question, but I think Thinkfinity offers some good lesson ideas to make this holiday an educational experience.
Thanks for reminding of these Thinkfinity resources, Lynne! I encourage everyone to check them out today if you haven't already.
Sarah Jane
Hi Sarah,
As an administrator, Halloween was just another day at school today. Of course, there were a few students that dressed mildly with face make-up and I saw one student with a mask. But, to respect the religious beliefs and opinions of others, Halloween is a normal day.

IDG News Service - Researchers at the University of South Carolina have discovered that some types of electricity meter are broadcasting unencrypted information that, with the right software, would enable eavesdroppers to determine whether you're at home.
DEAD END: 2012 Tech Industry Graveyard
The meters, called AMR (automatic meter reading) in the utility industry, are a first-generation smart meter technology and they are installed in one third of American homes and businesses. They are intended to make it easy for utilities to collect meter readings. Instead of requiring access to your home, workers need simply drive or walk by a house with a handheld terminal and the current meter reading can be received.
BLOG: CIA wants to spy on you through your appliances
While many gas and water AMR meters continuously listen for a query signal from a meter reading terminal and only transmit a reading when requested, the researchers found at least one type of electricity meter works on the opposite principle. It continuously sends a meter reading every 30 seconds around the clock.
"We had heard a lot about smart meters, about how great and how efficient they were," said Wenyuan Xu, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina, speaking to IDG News Service. "We thought about privacy and wondered how secure are they meters currently in use."
It turns out, not very.
The tools were simple: a $1,000 Universal Software Radio Peripheral software-defined radio, an amplifier, and the freeware GNU Radio software, plus of course, the team's knowledge of wireless protocols and data processing.
The first job was capturing the data. The team found that the meters transmit every 30 seconds by hopping through a number of frequencies, but the cycle of frequencies chosen isn't random so the pattern can be predicted.
Then, with just a few days work, Xu and her team were able to deconstruct the proprietary protocol used by the meters thanks to documentation they found on the Internet and information freely disclosed by meter makers.
"Once we got the raw signal, we processed it, and reverse engineered it," she said.
Using an off-the-shelf antenna and amplifier, the researchers were able to capture packets from electricity meters at a distance of up to 300 meters. In the neighborhood where they tested, they were able to receive packets from 106 electric meters.
The data sent was in plain text and carried the identification number of the meter and its reading. The name of the home owner or the address aren't included, but anyone motivated enough could quickly figure out the source.
"The meter ID was printed on the front of the meter we looked at, so theoretically you could read the ID [off a target meter] and try to sniff packets," Xu said.
In her tests, Xu found she was able to pull packets out of the air from target meters between once every 2 to 10 minutes. That's fast enough to be able to work out the average power consumption of a house and notice start to deduce when someone is at home.

ReWIre just stopped working then started then stopped
I cannot get reason to go into Rewire mode after starting it after Ableton or Logic. I can get Ableton to slave to Logic and from what I can tell Ableton and Reason use the same Rewire file (using OS X by he way and no I am not trying to run all three at once, just Ableton and Reason or Logic and Reason for this problem). The only thing unusual in my system was that the Ableton and Reason icons for the Rewire, Reason Engine, Ableton Engine, and REx Shared library were displaying icons from Warcraft 3 and the file 'kind' was listed as 'Warcraft File'. I went into Get Info and changed the Open With param to the applicaable app (either reason or live) and then told it to apply this to all files of this type. After that it seemed to work--opened Live then Reason and Reason was in Rewire mode. I did a few other things on my computer not related to music at all and then decied to try slaving Reason to Logic--no dice. Turned around and tried Live & Reason again and then no Rewire mode in Reason. I've had Reason since it came out and recently tried the Live demo and had no problems with Rewire. Liked Live so much I bought it a week before Live 3 was released. Installed Live 2 and immediately installed the Live 3 free download. Also purchased Logic Gold 6 and installed it. I was sent Logic Gold 5 and spent the last few weeks getting the vendor/distributor to straighten (ust completely resolved last week) it out so I never got the time to sit down to discover if there was a problem after the Live installation or after the Logic install. In any event I tried the aobuve steps agin in hopes of getting Rewire to work again, but to no avail. I really do not know what happened, so I'm posting in hopes that maybe someone had come across the same thing and maybe had a solution before I just re-install everything...

Page: Checking Projects into SVN, Version:1
Checking Projects into SVNAuthor: Marc Palmer
The information in here should be easily adapted to CVS. Replace the svn propset svn:ignore commands to set the same text in .cvsignore files in the directories specified in the commands.Up to and including Grails 0.4.x there are files that are generated or copied by Grails within your project tree. This can be problematic as it is unclear what is to go into SVN and what isn't. In addition, you will not usually want your compiled .class files going into version control, nor duplicates of your libs etc.
This is correct at the time of writing (Grails 0.4.x) but makes the following assumptions:
- You do not want ./plugins/core (Core Grails plugins) under SVN
- You do not want anything under ./web-app/WEB-INF/ under SVN. You should not usually need to put files in here. Files from ./conf are copied to WEB-INF/classes so they are on the classpath, if you need to supply anything.
Creating a new project and putting it into SVNThis approach is for use when starting a new Grails project - i.e. it does not yet exist on your disk at all, nor in SVN. It will talk you through your first check in, including the relevant svn:ignore properties, and avoids any checkin of these ignored files that may or may not exist locally.With SVN installed, create your project. We will use "MyProject" as the name for the purposes of demonstration:
Now you must create an empty SVN directory under your SVN repository using whatever appropriate tools you have. This directory should be called the same as MyProject but it doesn't have to be. We will call this SVN repository directory path "emptysvndir" for this example. Next you do:
grails create-app MyProject cd <projname>
That should have your project committed, and changes to ./plugins/core and ./web-app/WEB-INF/ should be ignored by SVN.You will not need to check out this project as we have used the "in place import" technique.
svn checkout <svn-server-url>/emptysvndir/ . svn add * svn propset svn:ignore "WEB-INF" web-app/ svn propset svn:ignore "core" plugins/ svn rm --force web-app/WEB-INF svn rm --force plugins/core svn commit -m "First commit"
Fixing an existing project that is already in SVNThis approach is for use when you have optimistically imported your entire project into SVN already and have started getting errors or are being annoyed by the warning messages relating to locally changed files.We will use "MyProject" as the name for the purposes of demonstration:
That should have your project committed, and changes to ./plugins/core and ./web-app/WEB-INF/ should be ignored by SVN.
cd MyProject svn propset svn:ignore "WEB-INF" web-app/ svn propset svn:ignore "core" plugins/ svn rm web-app/WEB-INF svn rm plugins/core svn commit -m "Fixing SVN"
Checking out from SVNTo checkout this project fresh locally or on another machine you will need to checkout as usual but then run:
The grails upgrade command re-instate some files that we are not checking in. This applies mainly to the files under WEB-INF/ dir: including applicationContext.xml, tld/* , sitemesh.xml , web.template.xml etc.

Aug 13 2012 12:00AM
I will be 62 years old in six months and I have had two serious health issues in my adult life. I have two children aged 14 and 17. My question is this: Am I better off taking Social Security when I turn 62 including dependent payments for my kids or am I better off waiting until age 64 or 65?
The timing of Social Security payments can be critical since it's often one of your most important assets. The strategy for optimizing it, therefore, is very important. Asked another way, 'How do we maximize your lifetime benefits?'
I'm assuming your single and not widowed. If not, the answer might change. Your children must be unmarried (obviously the 14 year old is) and be under the age of 18 (19 if a full-time student in high school) unless they're disabled to qualify. As such, I'm also assuming they meet these criteria. Once your 17 year old turns 18, unless a full-time high school student, his/her benefits will cease. I'll also assume we're only talking about benefits for your 14-year old, which would only last another four years or so.
The answer depends, then, on how long you will live so that benefits can be maximized. Without a crystal ball we obviously don't know. What we do know is that your 14-year old is entitled to 50 percent of what's called your Primary Insurance Amount (PIA) and your full retirement age (FRA) is 66. So let's use two examples.
Example #1:
You claim at 62. Your PIA at NRA is $1,000/month. Your 14-year old will receive $500/month and you would receive a permanently reduced amount of $750/month for a total of $1,250/month. At age 66, you will only be collecting $750/month (your child turns 18).
Example #2:
Same as above, but you wait until NRA of 66 to claim. You would receive $1,000/month. Your children would get nothing.
The difference here is that in example #1 you receive an extra $1,250/month from age 62-66 for a total of $60,000 because you claimed benefits four years sooner. In example #2, you receive nothing until age 66 when you begin receiving $1,000/month.
In the above examples, if you live to 86 or longer, it pays to wait to claim until you're 66. That would be the age where you breakeven and begin collecting a cumulatively higher amount of benefits.
As you can see it can be complicated. I definitely would contact Social Security and arrange for an appointment with a benefit counselor at a field office in your community. Social Security benefit counselors cannot provide financial advice or recommendations, but they can provide information specific to your situation.

Police: Seat belt saved lifeNovember 29,2012Police: Seat belt
saved life
WHITINGHAM The injuries a Readsboro woman suffered in a crash Tuesday could easily have been fatal if she had not been wearing a seat belt, according to Sgt. Mike Sorenson of the Vermont State Police.
Kathleen Quinn, 40, of Readsboro, was instead treated and released for contusions, scratches and general soreness at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington, Sorenson said in a press release.
Quinn was driving a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee south on Route 100 at 40 to 45 mph on Tuesday around 6:20 p.m. when she drove over an area of the road that had iced over following a light snow earlier in the day.
According to police, Quinn lost control of the Jeep, which left the west side of the road, struck a large tree, then struck a small tree, which broke and came down on top of the Jeep. Sorenson said the Jeep, came to rest after it struck a large rock adjacent to a stream that runs parallel to Route 100.
In this instance, the use of seat belts and airbags prevented serious injury to (Quinn). Had she not been seat-belted, she very likely would have sustained severe or even fatal injuries given the dynamics of the crash, Sorenson said.
Quinn was not given a ticket or a citation.

But, there are just a handful of who could truly carry out this pledge. Not fulfilling this pledge is often brought about by many factors. First, they have got no time to go to a fitness center. Second, they are uninterested in their current training session. Another aspect is their diet plan simply because countless people cannot comply with it. Finally, they merely could not withstand the amount of effort and motivation needed to perform regular workout routines and stick to a stringent eating habits.

Items To Consider
With the growing popularity of this supplement, it is now being abused by various vendors. You have to make certain you order from an accredited and reliable supplier. You also have to be sure that you check the label well before you buy it. It has to have 60% HCA. That's the required HCA content level to make certain that the product is going to be effective.

Sixty-two-year-old Dana Wilson of Brewer was inducted into the hall in May 2012 for his basketball accomplishments at Bangor's Husson College, from which he graduated in 1974. Wilson averaged nearly 35 points a game his senior year, best among all NCAA Division III schools that year.
A month after his induction, he was arrested on allegations of having child pornography on his computer.
A judge found him guilty last month after he pleaded no contest. Sentencing is scheduled for July.
Soon after Wilson was convicted, the Hall of Fame board of directors voted unanimously to revoke his induction.

New data on the well-being of children in Kentucky show a growing gap in services for the youngest residents in the area.
Early childhood programs were a disappointing spot for local counties in the most recent Kids Count data released today by Kentucky Youth Advocates. But local districts showed improvement in other areas, including lower suspension rates in Hardin County Schools and an increase in on-time graduation rates in Elizabethtown Independent Schools.

While the Republican Party has performed, in my opinion, with politics instead of country in mind of late, it takes two or more parties to do what happened in the shutdown.
I seem to remember the Republican Party tactics were first to stop the Affordable Care Act or delay it until it could be implemented without hurting the people/economy. Now we see the president and party scrambling to fix the rollout and some even talking about the very same things the Republican Party tried unsuccessfully to do in the shutdown.
This is supposed to be our country, not a place to play power games in the government. We need to examine who has a history of serving their country for good and not for power or gain, regardless of political party. The ones who are just seeking power need to be removed from office.
As reported by numerous news sources, the Affordable Care Act is doing exactly as predicted, raising costs for consumers drastically.
God and country first, not personal privilege or power.

Hello All,
I recently became a member and I'm interested in playing doubles at the courses in and around SD. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get involved or which of the games are played i.e. best shot, worst shot… Etc. or how/if the selection for teams goes. I'm newish to the game and have never played doubles. Any advise would help.
April 8, 2013 2:33 pm
Hey Ethan,
We have doubles leages as follows:
Saturday 9AM @ Kit Carson
Monday 5PM @ Montiel
Tuesday 5PM @ Kit Carson
Wednesday and Friday at Montiel (check on morleyfield.com for times and details)
The doubles leagues at Kit Carson and Montiel are randomly selected best shot doubles. We divide the group into two categories (A and B) based upon skill level and always randomly match one A and one B player together. This allows everyone the chance to win. Doubles cost $5 to play. It is a great way of learning the rules of the game and meeting people that play the game.

Hi San Diego Ace Club Members! My name is Jonathan and I started playing Disc Golf last year in January. I Love This Sport and I am getting better at it. This is my first year being a member of this great organization. I signed up mid January and received tag number 201. I played with some people at Morley Field and won tag number 56! Unfortunately I had a rematch and had to defend it and lost so I got back my 201 tag. The sad thing is that I somehow lost my tag at Morley Field about 2 weeks ago! It may have fell out my bag or maybe someone took it from my bag while I was at the P-hole(Hope not!) If anyone seen or knows what I can do to get it back please let me know! I wish I had a tag still and I want more challenges! Thanks! Happy Disc Golfing!
Shawn permalinkMarch 3, 2012 12:28 pm
Good to see you love throwing. If you got that tag last year, 2011, then that would be what you finished the year with. Hopefully someone turns it in to the pro shop. To challenge people in 2012 you need to buy a 2012 tag. Same deal, $20 for a disc and tag.

Mast Park in Santee needs an 18 hole course. I was looking for course sites on Google Earth and thought Mast Park, behind Walmart, would be an excellent location. Some trees, next to the river, some open dirt areas and it's already park land. It is only a couple of blocks away from the newly completed 52 freeway and the 125 freeway. Grossmont College would be just up the hill about 2 miles from there. That would help draw in lots of new players and spread the word more quickly about disc golf. Putting a course next to a local community college would light up the social networks. It would be a nice place for a third South course, Morley in North Park, Sun Valley in La Mesa and Mast Park in Santee. Santee has a better climate than El Cajon with all that heat and smog. Morley and Sun Valley are too busy and there is usually a wait at the first tee to start. There are atleast 5 courses in North County with another coming to Vista. We're ready here in East county for our first course.
Thank You,
Shawn Ludlow

Greetings, can you guys please check something for me.
I went to the registration website to sign up for the Sun Valley Open.
I signed up for MA1 = $50
I am not PDGA = $10
I am not SoCal = $5
Service Charge = $4.50
my total charge should be $69.50
when I go to checkout it is giving me a final charge of $79.50 and there is a "Custom Fee" of $15.00
Is the website charging me $10.00 twice b/c I'm not PDGA, once in the PDGA fee and again in the SoCal fee?
Otherwise, where does the additional $10.00 come from?
Thank you

Does the your club or any other DG organizations here in S.D. ever put on any clinics? I'm looking to get back into DG after not playing for the last 2.5-3 years since moving here from South Lake Tahoe where I used to play a moderate amount. Never really put much effort into bettering my technique & results but would like too now. Also, anyone know any good locations to practice drives near 4S Ranch/Poway? I'm still looking around but all the fields I've found so far near me aren't open to walk on's all the time. Most of them are schools.
Any help would be appreciated.
Adam permalinkApril 26, 2010 6:02 pm
Hey Mark,
I live in Poway as well. There are quite a few parks around Poway that are large enough to practice your driving at. Hileary Park off Community, Starridge Park off of Carriage Rd, Garden Road Park off of Garden Road, and Sabre Springs park. Granted, none of these are terribly close to the 4S ranch side of town.
Hope this helped!

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- Texas has executed its 500th inmate since the state resumed carrying out capital punishment in 1982.
Kimberly McCarthy received lethal injection Wednesday evening for the 1997 slaying of her 71-year-old neighbor near Dallas. She's the first woman put to death in the U.S. in nearly three years.
McCarthy was condemned for the robbery, beating and fatal stabbing of her neighbor, retired college professor Dorothy Booth. Booth. It was one of three killings linked to the 52-year-old McCarthy.
McCarthy was the 13th woman executed in the United States and the fourth in Texas, since the Supreme Court in 1976 allowed executions to resume.
Booth was attacked at her home with a butcher knife and candelabra. Evidence showed McCarthy used the knife to sever Booth's finger to steal her wedding ring.
NOTE: WFAA veteran crime reporter Rebecca Lopez is covering Kimberly McCarthy's execution as one of five media witnesses. Follow her Twitter feed below for the latest on Texas' 500th execution in Huntsville.

Used to lube my 50 year old classical guitar tuners. Was able to place a dot of lube in the right place without oil running all over.
Strings, particularly wound gauges, frequently catch at the nut when doing bends or using a tremolo. If you prefer the look of a stock nut as opposed to replacing it with a roller bearing or locking variety, this lubricant is for you. Easy to apply, instant results, and although the tube is relatively small, it's enough for hundreds of applications. I recommend this for electric and acoustic guitars as well.
perfect for lubricate tuners and guitar bridges excellent
Great lube, the needle applicator is perfect, it last longer than I tought it would, and it smells like banana candy! ( or something like that ;) )
I have used Tri-flow for well over a decade now and love the stuff. I've used it not only with luthier projects but also gunsmithing and mechanic jobs. It lasts an extremely long time and you only need a small dot of the stuff to do the trick. Originally I was concerned with how small a quantity you receive but I still have tubes from years ago. The only reason I needed more was that I lost the original tube (Then immediately found the old tube afterwards, it's a law of nature. Lose something, buy another, find the old one.) Anyway, buy this stuff and you won't regret it.
Howdy friends,
I'm not sure how I lived without this stuff. Great lube, dandy applicator. No issues at all!
Easy applicator. I use a drop on each saddle and nut when restringing and setups. Adds immeasurably to tuning stability.
Handy to keep in the tool rack for those tuners, stubborn screws etc, accurate application of a good quality oil cheers!
I purchased this as I thought it would be handy for small lubrication jobs. It is a nice idea but the design of this pen is not durable. I never opened it and didn't even have a chance to use it. I put this in a tray with some other small tools and it simply fell apart (pen tip separated from the plastic tube body and the lubricant leaked out). It might be okay if you are very careful with it and handle with care. I was disappointed.
Tuners require lube, but not too much. This product allows the right amount of lubricant to be applied where it's needed

Nikki74...I don't think I minded so much moving as a kid, I think what I didn't like was going to a new school all the time. I never had that group of kids that I went to school with since 1st grade. I have scattered friends all over. I think the way my Mom did it wasn't so much the best way, but I know she did what she could...sometimes not so good choices. As I got older I always felt like i needed to move if I was anywhere to long. Now don't get me wrong, I love to travel and see new places, but when I get somewhere new, I feel ok for about a year and then feel the need to move on. When I got married I had a hard time settling down, and really feeling like this is my home. I guess that's it...I never felt like I had a "home"...my grandparents home was the only stable place I knew. Even now 6yrs later...I do not feel like this is my home...my Dh feels like home to me...but not the house. Does that make sense??? I lived in a VW for 1/2 a year and I think I felt more at home in that tiny space, cause I knew it was not permanent.
We are actually planning on homeschooling, so school will be able to come with us wherever we go, though I do realise that they'll need to find friends to hang out with as well.
We are planning on settling down 'somewhere' after the next baby comes...atm we are where we are because the baby is due in six weeks, and we're hoping to move somewhere permanently early next year.
I'm just worried that even if we moved to my favourite place in the world (Australia), I'd still want to move on after a year... I just don't know that there's *anywhere* I could call home. And that's weird, because my parents moved once when I was a year old, once when I was twelve, and they're still in the same house 23 years later. Plus my dad has lived in the same town all his life...so it's not like I came from a wandering background, and nor did dh. I just don't know where we got this wanderlust from! And I enjoy it, but I want what's best for my children too.

Tilapia, a relatively plentiful fish, has the unfortunate reputation of being dull. All it needs is a spice rub, a familiar barbecuing technique that works just as well indoors. You could also use this rub on chicken breasts or toss it with lightly oiled shrimp before cooking.

Hello Everyone,
I've recently bought an iPhone 3G from a friend for £50 who said it just needed activating. He had it on contract locked to O2, so i've put a PAYG O2 sim in and have been faced with either a 'searching' or 'no service' message at the top of the screen all day and haven't been able to activate my SIM?
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to iphone's tbh, so have i missed something blaitently obvious here? also would upgrading the modem firmware and jailbreaking/unlocking the iphone possibly give me a signal?
Another idea i had was to ring apple and see if they could help, but as this is a second hand phone (and probably not under warranty) i assume i would run into problems straight away?
I believe the phone has been jailbreaked in the past so im not sure if this will effect things.
Modem Firmware: 05.15.04
Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
Network: Not Avaliable
Serial Number: 87839P76Y7H
Carrier: 02 9.1
I hope i've been able to give enough information here, thankyou for any help/suggestions atall!

Puig and Rameriz are the only reason the Dodgers are above .500. Keep pissing him off Mattingly - and in the off-season watch him hold out for a new contract. If I was this kid, play with Softy Gonzalez and Crippled Carl Crawford at $22 million plus each I sure would. Not to mention Either and Kemp.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly benches Yasiel Puig for disciplinary reasons
Yasiel Puig's afternoon was a short one on Wednesday, as Dodgers manager Don Mattingly replaced him in right field with Skip Schumaker at the top of the fifth inning. You knew, when Mattingly initially offered his reasoning, that something was going unsaid. "I felt like at that point in the game, Skip gave us a better chance to win," Mattingly explained. Schumaker might be many things, but his is not the type of talent that usually leads a manager to yank one of baseball's top phenoms halfway through a game — a player who, notes the Elias Sports Bureau, just reached 100 career hits in just 285 at-bats, faster than any other active player except Ichiro Suzuki.
Ricky Nolasco — who continued his outstanding run as a Dodger, by the way, pitching eight shutout innings against the Cubs in which he struck out 11 and allowed just three hits — said cryptically, of Puig, "He knows what he did."
Soon it emerged that the reason for Puig's benching was disciplinary. In the first inning, he failed to slide into second to attempt to break up a double play, and he also lackadaisically caught a few balls in the outfield and seemed a bit unfocused out there. Those might not normally constitute benching-worthy offenses, but they came on the heels of several other mildly irksome incidents, including his being fined for arriving late for a game in Miami last week, and Mattingly apparently had seen enough.
After the game, and a closed door meeting with Mattingly and G.M. Ned Colletti, Puig told reporters that he recognized that he wasn't preparing properly in the outfield, and that it was a good decision to take him out. The Dodgers have done a fine job handling the Cuban-born Puig — who, after all, is just 22 years old, and is having to adjust to not just an entirely new league and style of baseball, but an entirely new culture and set of freedoms — by using a strategy of gentle course correction, as opposed to heavy-handed discipline, when he veers off onto the rumble strips. That's really all that Wednesday's benching will likely amount to.
Puig and Rameriz are the only reason the Dodgers are above .500. Keep pissing him off Mattingly - and in the off-season watch him hold out for a new contract.

He should play for Leyland. He doesn't hold anyone accountable for anything !!
Leave the guy alone, he is putting up numbers, what else do you want.
Great case to give Arrenado the rookie of the year award!
The move was proper, for the umpiers missed the call when Puig caught the ball and then a few moments later flung the ball into the stands. The out should have been a home run, as he never removed the ball from his glove.
How many dudes start out that way and you hear about them being a good guy after all? He is immensely talented, but obviously, he left the humility back in Cuba. It's shame really. YOu would think that the most fortunate of us (those born with the gifts to succeed) would be the ones who are most grateful...
All that said, he is 22. Extremely young to be famous and I'm sure he's got a lot on his plate. He has some maturing to do and he may yet develop some. Of course, if he's pulling the same stunts in a few years then we can make the judgement. Until then, folks need to give him a chance. Bryce Harper comes to mind too, and an injury or two has seemed to slow him down just a bit. Everything that 1000 of us will work a lifetime to achieve given (I'm sure he put in some work to get there) to him at 22? Honestly, I wouldn't want that responsibility.
too much publicity and free puzzy in LA. this guy is toast.
You never see Fredi Gonzalez having to bench Freddie Freeman for disciplinary reasons.
Saw Puig in SF. He is a great talent, but it is clear that there is not enough mustard available to cover the hot dog in him. For the sake of him and the game, I really hope that someone can get through to him that baseball is a game that requires at least a minimum ability to act like a grown up.
so sad, banana boat boy didn't get his way.
Better curb that behavior before he starts chillin' w/gang members, dosin' on pcp, and totin' a firearm due to paranoia.
Way to go Dodgers !!! A great way to show respect to a man who almost single handedly pull your team from the mucky gutters you were flounder in all the season
I like the move. These are situations that will only make Puig a better player if he is open (which it sounds like he is). Can't wait to see the player he becomes as he continues to mature!
Puig is already proving that he's incapable of handling success. He'd be much better off, psychologically, on a small market team like the Royals, but with everyone in LA treating him like a God (or like ManRam from five years ago) Puig is believing that he's above the game, his teammates and the Dodger organization. Tommy Lasorda is going to have to take over the entire organization; he's the only one with any backbone that's left.
@Steve Phillips uh huh.
oh wait, no that would be matt harvey.
@Disbott3000 Most guys in baseball don't get benched for disciplinary reasons. What is your point?
@lassenlou could not have said it better. 22 is considered an adult. It's not like he is a 12 year old.
@WHO*IS*ESPN banana boat? wha'chu talking crazy? He is a political refugee. There is nothing that you can do to him that Castro hasn't already done. So say goodnight to the bad guy... you never seen a bad guy like this...
@friendly--neighborhood--scrawler Yeah, totally. They should let a rookie run rampant on the franchise because he's played well. That will bode well for them later. /sarcasm off
@Mark112 It appears Donny Baseball knows what to do just fine. He's not going to put up with this cr*p from anyone. The kid has gone from almost complete obscurity to the biggest showcase in sports, he's going to need guidance and a swift kick now and then. We'll see.
@JoeCabot @Disbott3000 i think the point is pretty clear.
get a clue
@DODGERFAIL2013 The only point I can gather is that you like Freddie Freeman and decided to write a post about him to show the world your feelings. Would have been a good post. If it was written after an article on the Braves and/or Freddie Freeman.

(Rob Kim, Getty Images)
The show, an iHeartRadio event that live-streamed on Yahoo! Music, was a huge promotional stop for the band, which had just released its new album, "10," on Tuesday. But halfway through the performance, Knight walked offstage and didn't return, despite encouragement from his band mates and a ton of support from the crowd (consisting mostly of middle-aged women).
You can see Knight starting to get a bit anxious at the 26-minute mark in this YouTube video. "Jordan, pull your brother in," Danny Wood says at 26:20. At 26:47, Knight laughs when he's about to sing a line from the band's new ballad, "Survive You." "He gets very emotional," Joey McIntyre says next. At 27:30, Knight seems to be so embarrassed that he leaves the stage after not being able to begin his verse.
The group then goes into a minute of the song without Knight on stage. "Jon will be back," his brother Jordan then says. "Because I'm going to sing this next song to him, and he will be back." The band then goes into its hit "Please Don't Go Girl," but by that time Knight is gone -- and he never returns back on stage for the rest of the show.
The crowd was hugely supportive though, even chanting his name a couple of times -- "Jonny! Jonny! Jonny!" McIntyre later joked, "They have a locksmith coming, to get Jon out of the bathroom."
After the show, Knight tweeted a very simple message to his 150,000 followers:
I'm sorry......
— Jonathan Knight (@JonathanRKnight) April 5, 2013
Before the show, he had tweeted:
— Jonathan Knight (@JonathanRKnight) April 4, 2013
On Friday, the group offered an update on Knight. "Not 2 worry BHs, all is well w Jon!," the group wrote in a post on Twitter. "It was crazy album release week & we are all on a plane to Napa & look fwd to a grt show this weekend!" In a separate tweet they added, "We love you guys and thank you for your undying support! See you on the road!"
Knight has spoken about his battles with anxiety and panic attacks in the past. In 2001, he sat down alongside his brother Jordan with Oprah Winfrey to talk about the topic. "I just always had this feeling inside of me of being nervous and afraid of situations," he told Winfrey. "The hardest thing for me was really just doing interviews, doing talk shows. … You just get shaky, your heart starts pounding, you get dry mouth … a little bit like I have right now." He went on to explain how the stress is what led to him eventually quitting the group. He rejoined the group when members reunited in 2008.

A Super Bowl and a 6-Year Old
About Two Weeks Ago
6-year old: I know who's going to win the football game.
Me: Who?
6-year old: The Giants. The Packers are not going to win.
A very annoyed me: Why, why, WHY do you think the Giants are going to win? My husband stands at a distance. His face is red.
6-year old: It's easy. The Cowboys beat the Packers and the Giants beat the Cowboys. So, it's obvious. Don't you see? The Giants will beat the Packers. My son then rolls his eyes, leaves the room, and looks for his Darth Vader action figure.
Me: So, who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl today?
6-year old: It's so easy! The Patriots won every game of the year. The Giants have not won every game. The Patriots *duh* will win. Why even watch the game?
I stand there - amused and almost speechless. I try to teach my son about the term "underdog" and that sometimes underdogs do win. My son gives me an odd look, rolls his eyes again, and ask about my favorite villain in Batman. I'm obviously not going to convince him of anything today.
So, tonight - as my know-it-all son plays with his friend or toys, his parents will be in front of the TV - rooting for the underdog.

Things to Do When You're Trapped in Your House
Yesterday, the driver's side door of my car froze shut. So I climbed through the passenger door and pushed the driver's side door open with my feet. At this point, my fingers were cold - so cold, I removed my gloves and took turns sitting on each hand as I drove to work.
Here are some things you can do, at home, without leaving the house.
Doctors, Symptoms, and Drug Prices
One of the countless things I've learned since being on my own (and more so since having kids) is that most doctors are very smart, work hard, mean well, are sometimes fun to talk to, and are definitely, definitely, definitely not perfect.

John Franks's WN Server is an HTTP server designed to provide functionality usually available only with complex CGI programs without the necessity of writing or using these programs. It is included in the latest FreeBSD ports collection. More information about it is available at http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/.
Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow in WN Server could allow arbitrary code execution under the privileges of the targeted server. Exploitation is possible by issuing WN Server a long GET request. Customized shell code is required to bypass the character filtering that WN Server imposes on the requested URI.
The following is a snapshot of an exploit at work:
$ (./wn_bof 0 3; cat) | nc target 80
Trying ret=0xbfbeb4ec
$ id
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)
$ uname
Exploitation of a buffer overflow usually results in one of two things: the targeted host process/application/host crashes, or arbitrary code executes. Both have serious repercussions, but in most cases, code execution is more threatening in that it could allow for the further usurpation of higher-level privileges on the targeted host.
WN Server 1.18.2 through 2.0.0, which are included in the FreeBSD ports collection, are affected. Do the following to determine whether a specific WN implementation is susceptible:
1. Ensure that WN is running and open two terminals.
2. In the first terminal execute the command "perl -e 'print "GET /"
. "a"x1600';cat)|nc localhost 80"
3. In the second terminal, determine the process ID of the child
that was spawned to handle the previous command, and attach
GDB to it via the following command set:
# ps ax | grep swn
4223 ?? Ss 0:00.29 ./swn
4711 ?? S 0:00.01 ./swn
# gdb ./swn 4711
GNU gdb 4.18

4. In the second terminal, type 'c'. This tells GDB to continue.
5. In the first terminal, press 'enter'. If at this point the following
output is returned from GDB, then a vulnerable WN
implementation is running:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x61616161 in ?? ()
No workaround is available as of this writing.
John Franks released WN Server 2.4.4, which corrects this problem. It is available at http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/wn-2.4.4.tar.gz.
