Sleepers is a trilogy created by Mike Baron and written by Christopher J. Priest. Each volume focuses on a different Green Lantern—Kyle Rayner, Alan Scott, and Hal Jordan, respectively.
Pocket has published a series of Justice League of America novels. Of these, Exterminators by Christopher Golden includes Hal Jordan as part of the team, and Hero's Quest by Dennis O'Neil is a solo Green Lantern story.
All of these stories have been made into full-cast dramatizations released by GraphicAudio.
The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure
Hal Jordan was the featured character in a solo series which was part of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (1967) as well as part of the Justice League segments. These would be the character's first animated appearances. Gerald Mohr is the voice of Green Lantern.
Super Friends
In addition, Hal Jordan's Green Lantern was an occasional supporting character in the various Super Friends incarnations: Challenge of the Super Friends, Super Friends, Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, and The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. Michael Rye provided the voice of the Green Lantern for these appearances.
Justice League
John Stewart is a member of the Justice League in the Justice League animated series. In this series, Stewart's ring was initially constrained to permitting him to fly, generating a protective force field, creating walls, and firing energy blasts; this limitation was established as being due to Stewart's mindset, not an inherent limitation of the ring itself (the series' version of Stewart is a former U.S. Marine, not an architect). After being berated by Katma Tui for his unimaginative use of the ring, Stewart has learned to generate complex tools (to defuse a bomb in one instance) and weapons. (He was also shown to be more creative when transformed into a child in the episode "Kids Stuff".) In a development not seen in any other version of the Green Lantern mythos, Stewart's eyes glow green when wearing his charged power ring. The glow fades when the ring runs out of power. The series has been inconsistent about the ring's effectiveness against yellow; Stewart is seen fighting Sinestro in one episode, and the yellow energy does not prove to be a significant problem for the Lantern, although in a later episode of Justice League Unlimited, the Flash threw yellow Jell-O at him, breaking his force field. Stewart's voice is provided by Phil LaMarr.
While specific details have been vague at best, much of the history of this version of John Stewart can be determined through various comments and revelations over the course of the series. Stewart grew up in a predominantly black, urban neighborhood of Detroit. He rents a room from a Korean landlady, having declined the offer of private housing on the Justice League Watchtower.
As a child, he was a big fan of Justice Guild of America comics (loosely based on the Justice Society of America). Stewart credits these comics with teaching him what it meant to be a hero.
He enlisted in the Marine Corps as a young man. His service dates are unknown, but it can be assumed it was at least for several years, given how much he absorbed the military's demeanor and methods into his own. It was here that Stewart learned how to fight and strategize, as well as becoming a good friend of fellow Marine Rex Mason. After his service ended, he was chosen to be a Green Lantern, and trained in ring usage with Katma Tui, with whom he developed a romantic relationship. The relationship has since ended.
Because Sector 2814—the one that includes Earth—had a Green Lantern already (Abin Sur), Stewart spent fifteen years patrolling another sector in the universe. It was during this time when, pursuing space pirate Kanjar Ro, Stewart believed himself to be responsible for the destruction of the planet Ajuris 4—later revealed to be a falsehood concocted by the Manhunters.
When Abin Sur was murdered by Sinestro and passed his ring on to Kyle Rayner, Stewart was transferred to take over 2814 so that Rayner could train with Katma. It is at this point that Justice League joins John's story, when he answers a telepathic call from the Martian Manhunter, which leads him to join a battle against an alien invasion force, with the help of four other heroes.
During the series, Stewart would be the main focus in more stories than any of the seven members of the League: "In Blackest Night", "Legends", "Metamorphosis", "The Savage Time", "Hearts and Minds", "Secret Society", and "Starcrossed" (though he shares the focus with Wonder Woman in "Savage" and with Hawkgirl in "Starcrossed").
The most crucial development during this time was the love story between him and Hawkgirl (real name: Shayera Hol). Shortly after they admitted their feelings for each other, "Starcrossed" occurred, revealing that Hawkgirl was a spy for the Thanagarian forces, and that she has betrayed their secrets to her home Thanagarians. Worse than that, she had been promised/engaged to the leader, Hro Talak (whose name is an anagram for that of the Silver Age Hawkman Katar Hol), before she even came to Earth. Over the course of the three-part Justice League finale "Starcrossed", Shayera and Hro fell out of love with each other and Shayera helped save Earth from destruction. After the battle (end of part three), the League votes on whether to allow her back, but she resigns and flies off into the sunset without Stewart ever telling her that he still loved her.
During Shayera's self-imposed exile, the League expands to 57 members (in the retitled Justice League Unlimited) and Stewart gets a new girlfriend: superheroine and supermodel Mari Jiwi McCabe/Vixen. At first he treats this as a rebound relationship, but once Shayera returns to the League, he is conflicted by feelings for both women. These feelings are exacerbated in "The Once and Future Thing", when he travels to the future and meets his son with Shayera, Warhawk. He does not immediately share this revelation with her. In "Ancient History", after working with Carter Hall (the would-be Hawkman) to defeat Shadow Thief, Stewart makes the decision to inform Shayera of the son he met in the future. However, as his relationship with Mari had advanced (and Mari had been quite seriously injured before), he makes the decision to not leave Mari just because destiny would seem to decree it. At the end of "Ancient History" he tells Shayera that whatever happens needs to happen because of how they feel now.
In the episode "In Blackest Night", Stewart resigns himself to the treatment of the residents of Ajuris 4, believing he has destroyed a planet (unaware that he has been framed), claiming that superheroes need to be held accountable for their actions. In "Metamorphosis", he deals with the opposite problem, noting how wealthy and carefree his old Marine pal Rex Mason is, and wonders if being a Lantern has cost him social and romantic opportunities. The episode "Only a Dream" explores Stewart's fears over how his hometown has become as alien to him as the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and how he worries about the Lantern energy being the only thing of focus in his life.
Other DCAU appearances
- Kyle Rayner appeared as Green Lantern in "In Brightest Day...", an episode of Superman: The Animated Series. This incarnation appeared to be a hybrid of Kyle Rayner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan, since he was recruited by Abin Sur, and fought Jordan's old enemy Sinestro (voiced by Ted Levine). He looked more like Jordan than Rayner (although Hal Jordan's name is clearly visible, painted on the nose of an airplane at a military base). The tie-in with John Stewart is due mainly to the fact that Rayner's Green Lantern "uniform" is the uniform donned by Stewart in the comic series (this is, perhaps, after the fact, as Stewart did not resume his role as Green Lantern in the League until after he was incorporated in the JL animated series, however his costume had for some time been unique and distinctive). Rayner was later inducted into the Green Lantern Corps. Guy Gardner makes a cameo as the mugger who steals Jimmy Olsen's camera. Rayner is voiced by Michael P. Greco.
- Rayner is briefly mentioned in one episode of Justice League and appears as one of the Green Lanterns attending Superman's funeral in "Hereafter". He later reappears after the series became Justice League Unlimited in "The Return", bearing a far greater resemblance to his comics counterpart. Rayner's appearance (where he and the Corps unsuccessfully attempted to defend Oa from Amazo) finally explains why Stewart is the Green Lantern of Earth; Rayner had been stationed on Oa all along. Will Friedle provides Rayner's voice in "The Return".
- A character known as Green Guardsman (whose real name was Scott Mason) appears in the two-part Justice League episode "Legends", in which Stewart and several other members travel to a parallel universe. This other universe has its own superhero group, the Justice Guild of America, whose members are modeled on Golden Age versions of the Justice Society of America characters. Green Guardsman is an homage to the Golden Age Green Lantern. His power ring is unable to affect aluminum. The voice of the Green Guardsman is provided by William Katt.
- The Justice League version of Stewart appeared in several episodes of Static Shock, both as a member of the League and in a solo appearance. Phil LaMarr reprises his Justice League role as Green Lantern, as well as providing the voice for Static.
- "The Call", a two-part episode of Batman Beyond, features a future Justice League that includes a Green Lantern who was an eight-year-old Asian child; he later appears as a young adult in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue". His name was Kai-ro, a tribute to Kairo, Green Lantern's alien sidekick on The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Kai-ro is voiced by Lauren Tom.
- Hal Jordan appears briefly in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time, Warped" in which the time-traveling villain Chronos causes the timeline to become unstable, with characters changing or disappearing as their history is altered. At one point, Stewart morphs into Jordan, who aids the other characters for several minutes before changing back into Stewart. Jordan is voiced by Adam Baldwin.
- On the animated TV series Duck Dodgers, the episode entitled "The Green Loontern" includes appearances by many members of the Green Lantern Corps. In this episode, a mixup at the dry cleaners results in Dodgers (Daffy Duck) getting Jordan's outfit and ring. Filmmaker and comics fan Kevin Smith provided the voice of Jordan for this cameo. Other Green Lanterns that appear in this episode are Kilowog (voiced by John DiMaggio), Katma Tui (voiced by Tara Strong), Boodikka (voiced by Grey DeLisle), Ch'p (voiced by Frank Welker), and Sinestro (voiced by John de Lancie), as well as nonspeaking appearances by Stewart, Arisia Rrab, G'nort, and Guy Gardner.
The Batman
In the fourth season finale of The Batman, "The Joining", the Justice League is introduced. Hal Jordan is included among its members, in a non-speaking cameo. He next appears in the fifth season episode "Ring Toss", voiced by Dermot Mulroney and again in the 2-part series finale, "Lost Heroes".
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Guy Gardner appears in multiple episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by James Arnold Taylor. He appears briefly in the pre-title segment of "Day of the Dark Knight!", in which he ignores Batman's advice and accidentally frees an imprisoned alien by pouring coffee on him.
In the episode "The Eyes of Despero!" Gardner, G'nort, Sinestro and Mogo join forces with the Batman to stop the villain Despero from using his mental powers to turn the Green Lantern Corps into an army of mind controlled slaves. Other members of the Lantern Corps are seen, including Ch'p, Kilowog, Medphyll, and Hal Jordan. Jordan later makes a cameo appearance as a member of the original Justice League of America in "Sidekicks Assemble!", and is mentioned in "Darkseid Descending!" when Guy joins the Justice League International. A heroic version of Sinestro (clad in a Sinestro Corps uniform) briefly appears "Deep Cover for Batman!", where he is shown as one of the superheroes being held captive by the Injustice Syndicate. In this series Hal is voiced by Loren Lester, Sinestro is voiced by Xander Berkeley, G'nort is voiced by Alexander Polinsky, and the Guardians are voiced by J. K. Simmons and Armin Shimerman.
Young Justice
Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Alan Scott appear in the Young Justice animated series. Jordan and Stewart appear as members of the Justice League, while Scott appears as a member of the Justice Society. Jordan and Stewart make their first appearances in the episode "Fireworks", Gardner appears in "Revelation" in a cameo to help the Justice League, and Scott appears in the episode "Humanity" in a flashback. None of them are voiced except for Stewart, who was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in the episode "Failsafe". In episode "Agendas", Jordan and Stewart were convenes recruitment for the Justice League new members, both Jordan and Stewart immediately dismiss Gardner from the Flash's idea.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Hal Jordan appears as the main character in Green Lantern: The Animated Series, voiced by Josh Keaton. Other characters include Kilowog, the Guardians of the Universe, Carol Ferris, Salaak, Sayd, Saint Walker, and Zilius Zox, among others. The main antagonists of the first arc of the show are the Red Lantern Corps, led by Atrocitus, as well as the Manhunters. Guy Gardner appears as a recurring character while John Stewart is mentioned and Alan Scott is alluded to.

He, like the others, tried to take the blame for all crimes, though he and the rest were never convicted. As the law was now aware of his superhero identity, Scott retired from heroics. In 2010, Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan find old black-and-white footage of Alan (his power ring is visible on his left hand), along with his criminal record. Very little is said about him, other than that he is the CEO of a broadcasting company, but it was confirmed that he was still alive by Stargirl and hinted at that he had children. His power ring and Lantern battery are later shown in a display case at the JSA Brownstone, as well as in his portrait in a JSA painting. Alan Scott is played by Doug Pinton. Subsequently John Stewart and the Green Lantern Corps appear in the comic book continuation of the show.

Pulling No Punches
Selected Letters of Virgil Thomson
No writer has contributed more toward the sophistication of musical life in the United States than Virgil Thomson, whose incumbency as music critic of the New York Herald Tribune between 1940 and 1954 defines the brief Age of Enlightenment in American music journalism. Though the whole of this anthology of his correspondence adds cubits to his reputation as critic, moralist, and—no less substantially—entertaining gossip, the most valuable section is the long chapter representing his newspaperman years. While supporting such originals as Webern ("spun steel"), Varèse, and Carl Ruggles, and attacking the Beaux Arts provincialism, the managerial manipulation, and the misguided patronage systems controlling New York's musical institutions, Thomson generated an excitement difficult even to imagine in today's game of on-the-run, promotion-style reviewing.
The first and regrettably the shortest part of the book opens with "Tommie" Thomson writing to his sister from army boot camp in Oklahoma in September 1917; and writing uncommonly well ("The mountains to the west are beautiful, just freckled with trees"). After the war, spent stateside, and two years as a music student at Harvard, he toured Europe with the college Glee Club in the summer of 1921, then stayed on in Paris for a year to continue his musical education with Nadia Boulanger.
Life in the French capital changed him, of course, for though he had brought his intelligence with him, the crucial artistic experiences of the time were not available in Boston and New York. Ulysses, which he described only two months after its publication as "amazing. Style and matter," would be banned there for eleven years, and Pierrot Lunaire, the "Real musical event…. Fascinating concurrence of noises," had still not been performed in America a decade after its première.
Nor would Thomson's talents as a critic have had much opportunity for exposure back home, whereas his reports on the Parisian musical scene for the Boston Transcript, singling out "a Russian conductor" who "is giving magnificent concerts"—"Paris is full of Russian refugees…. The French have finesse, but thank God for the Russians with real ecstasy in their souls"—helped to bring Koussevitzky to the advertence of Back Bay and hence contributed in some measure to his engagement by the Boston Symphony Orchestra soon after. Returning to and matriculating at Harvard, then living for a time in New York, Thomson moved to Paris again in 1925, this time to remain there, apart from side-tripping (including four months in the United States in 1928–1929), until June 6 (!), 1940.
The letters of Part Two add a new feature to the landscape of American expatriate literature, a high and distinctively shaped hill if not an alp. Thomson keeps friends informed of each other's comings and goings ("Eugene consorts with princesses in Marseille and sailors in Toulon"), and of his own life a la mode, which included "dancing till two at Le Boeuf sur le toit" and perhaps longer than that…

Chic-Fil-A Alternative
So Beth and I love to cook, and with all the Chic-Fil-A controversy that's been going around the internet lately, I figured "why the heck don't we try making some friend chicken?"
Now, I've never had Chic-Fil-A before, and I've never tried to make deep fried chicken – but I'm willing to give anything a shot. So without further delay, below is a recipe from a yahoo article with some pictures from my own cooking experience.
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup pickle juice (sour dill is my favorite)
Optional: 1 teaspoon Tabasco
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Optional: up to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a spicy sandwich
Oil for frying (about a cup)
2 toasted hamburger buns
4 dill pickle slices
Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound gently with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until it's about 1/2-inch thick all around. Cut the chicken into two even pieces, and place in a bowl.
Pour pickle juice over chicken and marinate for 30 minutes to an hour. Add a teaspoon of Tabasco for a spicy sandwich.
Beat the egg with the milk in a bowl. Combine the flour, sugar, and spices in another bowl.
Dip the chicken pieces into egg, coating both sides, then coat in flour.
Heat the oil in a skillet until it's 345 to 350 degrees. Fry the chicken for about two minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Blot with paper towels and serve on toasted buns with pickle slices.

I attended a trade school in Los Angeles for sign painting. Then I worked in a few sign shops before opening my own sign business in 1982 in Spokane, Washington.
I provide reliable service. I often hear from people shopping for a sign how unexpectedly difficult it can be. Apparently, my work ethic is different.
My shop started as Mark the Sign Painter when hand-lettering with paint was the standard. Now computers rule the trade (and the world). I provide custom cut vinyl and digital printing and when rarely needed…I still paint with a brush.
SIGNS: windows, vehicles, sidewalk signs, plywood, plastic, construction projects, walls, installation, 3D letters, banners, gifts, etc.
Call for an estimate. I can come to your place of business to discuss your ideas and sign needs.
Since sign projects vary one to the other I do not post stock sizes or costs – every sign is different.
When it comes to layouts I have over 30 years experience.

Who wants to deal with the groggy, foggy slow-motion sensation that is Jet Lag while traveling abroad? Unfortunately, the farther we explore the more likely we are to experience jet lag's symptoms and thus lose precious globe-trotting time recovering. It can take up to three or four days to overcome jet lag naturally. Here are some tips to neutralize some of jet lag's effects quickly and effectively.
Begin to reset your internal clock several days before you leave.
Make sure the days leading up to your trip you get a quality night's sleep. If you're traveling east, start to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier; if you're headed west, go to bed later and try to wake up later. Flying east is trickier because as the human body cycle is actually slightly longer than 24 hours, it's more difficult to shift your body clock earlier. Traveling west you can expect 30%-50% less recovery time.
Reset your watch to the time of your destination.
As you board your plane, get on local destination time. If it will be nighttime when you arrive, stay awake on your flight. If you're arriving during the day, try to get some sleep on the plane. Bring earplugs and an eye mask. Power through Day One of your trip.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. They will mess with your sleep cycle.
Instead, drink plenty of water. Water will keep you hydrated and healthy on long flights and help keep your head clear and free from headaches.
Also take vitamins like Vitamin C to boost your immune system and B vitamins for more energy.
Stretch. Keep your body limber to improve circulation and prevent muscles from stiffening. Stretching also offsets fatigue.
Get in the sun! The sun's rays will wake you up and keep you alert.
If you're going on a short trip - a business meeting or weekend vacation - don't bother. You're not going to catch up in time so just enjoy yourself.
When you arrive, avoid heavy meals and exercise before bed. Eat lightly for a few days.
Inflight sleeping pills. While there is no fool-proof cocktail for maintaining a quality sleep schedule on a plane, many swear by certain sleeping pills such as the hormoneMelatonin and the prescription medications Ambien and Nuvigil. Respectively, the prescriptions knock you out and keep you awake; they don't cure jet lag but give you more function over your body as it adapts. Melatonin both induces sleep and improves its quality. Talk to your doctor about these options if you think you need them.
Give yourself a day to recover when you get home. If you're flying back in on a Sunday, don't make yourself go to work on Monday.
Stay positive! Everyone goes through this and having a good attitude will help you get over jet lag faster.

Borges: Huskies again feast on AAC's weak links
UConn cruises to 43-point win
HARTFORD >> So all that talk about the American Athletic Conference being better than anyone expected — including talk that came from yours truly, in this space, a day ago — well, it's all true. Tough to overlook having five Top 25 teams in one 10-team conference.
The flip side, however, is the AAC's dirty little secret: as good as its top five teams are, its bottom five are just as awful.
Look no further than UConn's disturbingly easy whipping of South Florida on Wednesday night at the XL Center. The Huskies (19-5, 7-4 AAC) dominated so thoroughly – scoring the game's first eight points, then using a 16-0 run midway through the first half to quickly turn it into a laugher – it was like going to a UConn men's game and a UConn women's game broke out.
Alas, it wasn't Breanna Stewart & Co. that rolled to the 83-40 victory. It was hardly even Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright & Co. The two high-scoring guards each picked up two first-half fouls and spent more than half the night on the bench. That left the night to some new faces, like little-used freshmen Kentan Facey and Terrence Samuel. Facey finished with a career-high 10 points before fouling out, even knocking down a 3-pointer, while Samuel added a career-best eight points, to go with three assists and two steals in 22 minutes.
"I enjoyed Terrence running the show," said coach Kevin Ollie. "Then Kentan came in, he got right in the four-hole. Coach (Glen) Miller's been doing a great job with our bigs. (Facey) came right in, made his first shot, and I just thought he gave us a lot of energy. We didn't lose any rhythm with our best two players on the bench with two fouls. I just thought Terrence did an amazing job. I keep telling these guys, 'Be patient, work while you wait.' That's what we're trying to do."
Everybody got in on the fun, as all 12 players who dressed scored at least two points. That included a pair of walk-ons, both of whom entered the game with about five minutes left. Cheshire's Pat Lenehan scored the first points of his career, hitting a free throw then draining a 3-pointer. And New Fairfield's Nnamdi Amilo, dressed for a game for the first time due to fellow walk-on Tor Watts' ankle injury, added a pair of free throws.
"He does a great job for us," Ollie said of Lenehan. "He's selfless. Sometimes, I have him on defense the whole practice, and they don't ever give me a peep out of them. They just keep playing hard."
Lenehan even had his name on the back of his jersey for the first time this season.
"I like that," said Ollie. "My mom got on me. She said you've got to get the walk-ons their names on their jerseys. So, we made sure we got that done."
All in good fun on a night everyone got in on the act. Still, it doesn't mask the fact that this conference is extremely top-heavy – and could get only more so next season, when Louisville leaves for the ACC and Tulane, East Carolina and Tulsa join the fray.
Make no mistake, UConn has feasted on the lesser squads. The Huskies are 1-3 against the other ranked teams in the AAC. They're now 6-1 against the bottom five , including embarrassingly lop-sided victories over Central Florida (84-61 and 75-55), Temple (90-66), Houston (80-43) and now USF, which fell to 12-13, 3-9.
Of course, there was that New Year's Eve loss at Houston, which is getting harder to explain by the day. Still, conference road games are never an absolute given. After all, this same USF team somehow beat No. 23 SMU in Tampa just a couple of weeks ago.
But by and large, there is a clear line between the have's and have-not's in this league.
"We're right there," said Ollie. "We're still looking up at a lot of teams, so we've still got to play hard, play aggressive. We've got a lot of teams that are coming in on our court that we're looking up to – Cincinnati, Memphis. We've got to take care of business. Then, we've got to go on the road and take care of business there. Guys have been doing a good job. They haven't looked past any teams."
On Saturday, No. 20 Memphis strolls into town looking to avenge its Jan. 16 loss to the Huskies.
"We've got to be ready for them," said Ollie. "I know we beat them on their homecourt, and I know they're going to come in with a little revenge on their mind. We've got to make sure we stay solid, stay together, have effort, enthusiasm, and at the end of the day, we want to make sure we have execution. Because that's what good teams do. And we want to be a great team."

The Palo Alto Ski Club is more than just an amazing place to experience Squaw Valley.
Our club was formed in 1949 when a small group of friends–all avid skiers and mountain enthusiasts–decided it would be a great idea to pool resources and form a ski club. These Club founders skied together, organized group outings and collective meals, and purchased a stunning piece of property with year round access to the Sierras. Now, 70 years later, The Palo Alto Ski Club is 170 members strong, with a spectacular lodge located at the base of the Squaw Valley Resort.
But the Lodge is not just a place to spend a night at Tahoe. The Club holds regular meetings and social events in and around Palo Alto. As a volunteer organization, members also participate on the board, support social activities, and contribute to the upkeep of the Lodge. The spirit of community engagement and sense of ownership is part of what makes our club so great.
Our members consist of all ages, sporting levels, and family make-up. We have families with kids from Mighty Mites Squaw Valley Ski Team, to teens, and college age young adults who enjoy fleeting moments of family togetherness. We have couples and singles who love the chance to get away from bustling Silicon Valley and into the gorgeous serenity of the mountains and all that Squaw Valley has to offer. Our sports enthusiasts love the competitive challenge of mountain sports–on skis, wheels, or sails–leave no trail unexplored! And finally, we have retirees who still hit the slopes every chance they get.
The Lodge features a great room that has a stunning view of the Squaw Valley Meadow and the mountain itself. From the great room, early risers can watch as the morning sun lights up the slopes of Squaw Valley and the chairs on the lift start to carry happy skiers to the top of the peaks. There are also six bedrooms; each sleeps 3-6 in bunks. There are four bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a family room. At full capacity, the Lodge sleeps 24 members and guests. It has been perfectly designed for active group use.
Year round, members reserve their stay online up to two weeks in advance. During ski season members and their guests (November 1-May 1) enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and all around merriment at the bustling Lodge. The summer is is a great time for groups to gather and take advantage of Squaw Valley entertainment–jazz festivals, water sports, art fairs, mountain biking, and hiking are all a short walk or drive away from the Lodge. During summer, one-week bookings can be made in advance.
We gather in and around Palo Alto for three parties each year, usually at the beginning of June, October, and December. Here, we celebrate the end and beginning of the ski season and enjoy the warmth and good cheer of the holidays. At the Lodge, members host special weekends dedicated to family fun, mountain biking, hiking, lodge upkeep, and welcoming new members. Special weekends include community meal preparation and organized activities.
The months of November through May, we hold member meetings to socialize and stay updated on the status of the Lodge. At the meetings our members share interesting presentations of recent travels and adventures. Our Board also meets monthly and is comprised entirely of volunteers who are in charge of the daily operation of the Lodge.
The "Downhill" our club newsletter, keeps members apprised of Lodge news and member stories. Regaling us with adventures in ice fishing, scuba diving, biking, and globe trotting adventures.
The Palo Alto Ski Club members truly value the concept of the "village." We want our Lodge to last for another 70 plus 70 years! To do this, members contribute their time and energy to maintain the building and the land. Twice a year, we host weekends at the Lodge when we prepare for the change of season (winter or summer), make repairs, and restock essentials. Members who attend these Work Parties enjoy dinners, outings, and hikes together.
The Palo Alto Ski Club was founded on principles of friendship, lending a hand, and economy. Today, these values are carried on. The Lodge is entirely maintained by the members. When the lodge is full, we share chores and meal prep. No child is too young to help–there is a job for everyone. We have a reservation system that is fair and keeps the rates affordable.

Walking the cliffs of Dover.Photography in posts
Photography is another tricky art form, depending on what camera you use will determine whether you can size them up all the same. After a lot of experimenting with different cameras, I realised the convenience of an I phone is sufficient but a portable recharger and an old I Phone is needed. One phone just for pictures the other for maps on very long walks. Occasionally I like to use a 35 mm camera.

, four coming from Zaid Hearst on just six attempts.

Wasque Point, the popular fishing spot at the eastern tip of the Island has been the subject of ongoing study in recent years, as wind, waves and tides create one of the most dynamic coastal systems in the state.
Last weekend, dozens of surfcasters at Wasque Point could hardly believe their luck. The water churned with bluefish as fishermen reeled in catch after catch. "Some of the best fishing days I've ever had," said Wayne Smith, an avid surfcaster.
As of early in the morning on April 2, Chappaquiddick was no longer an island completely separated from Martha's Vineyard. Nearly eight years after a northeaster cut a breach in the three-mile barrier beach that connects Edgartown with the smaller island, the Norton Point breach had closed.
After several days of inching forward along a deep, wide sandy trench, a Chappaquiddick home arrived late Tuesday at its new location farther away from a rapidly eroding bluff.
It's been less than a year since emergency actions began to save the Wasque home of Richard and Jennifer Schifter. The key part of the project came this week with the move of the 8,300-square-foot main house.
Plans to move a Chappaquiddick home threatened by erosion became more urgent this week, after last week's nearly-three-day storm brought the coastal bank 11 feet closer to Richard and Jennifer Schifter's Wasque Point home. But as waves continue to eat away at the waterfront property, the drama of the house move has extended into now weekly meetings at Edgartown town hall, where the house faces regulatory, logistical, and environmental concerns from town officials and neighbors.
While elaborate plans continue to unfold for moving a large Chappaquiddick house, the Edgartown conservation commission is grappling with a new issue: whether actions taken to stem the erosion can continue after the house is moved.
For months, the situation unfolding at Wasque Point where a rapidly eroding coastal bluff is swiftly approaching an 8,800-square-foot house, has captivated the Island.
Shifting sand at both Wasque and Lucy Vincent Beach has uncovered what may be parts of two shipwrecks.
Last Sunday afternoon, Andrew Orcutt of Edgartown and Albany was out walking the shoreline near Wasque and the Norton Point breach. He discovered remnants of what appeared to be a ship in the wash.

For those who aren't interested in following Fashion Week minute-by-minute, Twitter has also made it easy to catch up with daily recaps and archived footage," reports Mashable.

Hand-Painted adidas Originals Stan Smith's By Pharrell Williams
To help raise money for his From One Hand To AnOTHER charity Pharrell has taken 10 pairs of adidas Originals Stan Smiths and did a bit of doodling along their upper. The resulting sneakers are one of a kind in every way imaginable with a very playful quality pushing them forward.
These are to be sold exclusively at french boutique Colette and while its far from the standard collaboration that we've come to expect from artist x brand it is certainly along the lines of what we'd expect from Pharrell.

Best Western has spent more than $3 billion in the last three years to upgrade, renovate, convert or construct new hotels in North America. It also separated from hundreds of so-called "underperforming" hotels. I asked Best Western's chief executive, David Kong, what these changes will mean to customers.
What was wrong with the old Best Western?
The old Best Western was right for its time, and while our brand promise hasn't changed, every brand needs to evolve to stay fresh and relevant to customers. This has meant product enhancements but also exciting partnerships with AAA, Harley Davidson, Michael Waltrip Racing, and the World Vision child sponsorship organization. We have also made great strides in social media, with an award-winning blog at youmustbetrippin.com, active Twitter and Facebook followings, and robust mobile booking and trip-planning tools.
Can you give me a Reader's Digest version of what you're doing?
We engaged the Boston Consulting Group several years ago to help us formulate a product strategy. We have been following up on their recommendations to update our standards and enhance our compliance systems, separate from hotels that detract from the brand, and accept only high-quality hotels that will enhance the brand image.
We also introduced the Best Western Atrea prototype, an upper-midscale design which competes with chains like Hyatt Place, Hilton Garden Inn and Courtyard by Marriott. We have four of these hotels open now and 28 more on the way by the end of 2010. We have also rolled out our Business Plus program with over 600 hotels that will provide a higher level of services valued by corporate travelers.
What are customers are likely to find at a new Best Western hotel that they didn't see before?
Our brand is fresher than ever, because our promise of service, quality and value is in sync with today's consumer mindset. Our guests will find many of same amenities they have at home, including triple sheeting on high-quality mattresses, flat-screen television sets, and breakfast. That said, I read thousands of guest comment cards, and the overwhelming majority focus on the service experience. So while good product is a price of entry, service is the key to satisfaction.
For us, that's about helping hotel staff find common sense, everyday ways to show compassion and caring and to make guests feel valued. This is the essence of our I Care training program.
I was really interested when I heard you're eliminating some underperforming hotels. That's something hotel executives don't talk about a lot, at least to outsiders. How many hotels are you getting rid of?
We have separated from more than 500 properties in the past five years. For a membership organization, it is always painful to see a member leave. Most hotel brands don't even have close to this number of hotels. It really demonstrates our commitment to build a strong and relevant brand promise.
What would be the reasons for eliminating a property?
We may separate from a property if they fail our stringent quality assurance inspections, or they fail to comply with our customer care or design standards.
One of the most common complaints I get from Best Western customers is something I like to call the "punt" — it's a guest grievance that's appealed to corporate Best Western, but that is denied because your hotels are independently owned and operated. Are you planning any changes in the way of accountability for Best Western franchises?
Properties are much better equipped to handle guest complaints than the corporate office because the stay and the complaint took place at the hotel. When a guest complains, our hotel must make contact within 48 hours, and to avoid a fine, the issue must be resolved within one week.
Best Western hotel staffs have made great strides in reducing and resolving guest complaints before the guest leaves the hotel. The number of customers calling our corporate office has decreased by about 50 percent in the past two years as a result of all our customer care initiatives. During that same time, customer satisfaction and "intent to recommend" ratings have reflected strong improvement.
That said, our brand promise comes with an implied satisfaction guarantee, and we do not shirk our responsibilities if an unhappy customer contacts the brand. Our corporate customer care team does its very best to problem-solve and find resolutions.
Are any upgrades planned when it comes to training Best Western hotels and their employees in dealing with customers?
Three years ago, we launched a brand-wide customer care program called I Care to train our member hoteliers to deliver "heroic hospitality." Our mandatory I Care training is about building a caring culture that empowers every employee to spot common sense opportunities to demonstrate compassion and make guests feel valued. If there are issues, we want our employees to quickly resolve them with a smile before they fester into bigger problems. In addition, we provide frequent certification training sessions for front desk and housekeeping staff.
Phase two of I Care will roll out in 2010. It will incorporate additional training designed to enhance trust between our hoteliers and their guests, as well as a total quality management approach to prevent problems from recurring.
I get a lot of comments about fees and surcharges on hotel bills. As part of Best Western's chain-wide improvements, are you planning to deal with the issue of price transparency?
Being a brand known for offering value, hidden surcharges are very rare at a Best Western hotel. Amenities like parking, Internet, breakfast, and resort facilities are frequently included in the room rate. Taxes are communicated to the customer prior to final purchase, which is industry practice.
Some travel experts are calling 2010 the Year of the Deal. Is that true for Best Western hotels?
The pundits are forecasting a soft year for the industry. Our guests can expect to see great bargains and frequent, rich promotions.

His son told a local paper it appeared he was trying to take some medicine when he died. He was found dead Friday, police said.Hunter's piano work was an integral part of such songs as Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" and Marvin Gaye's "Pride and Joy." He had just returned on Sunday from a European tour with fellow Funk Brother Jack Ashford."Joe Hunter's piano and stellar leadership helped birth the Motown Sound," Bruce Resnikoff, president of Universal Music Enterprises, which oversees the Motown catalog, said in a statement."You can't miss Joe's piano on those great early hits. The first of the Funk Brothers, his terrific riffs and easy-going musicianship will live forever."The documentary film "Standing in the Shadows of Motown," was released in 2002, cast a spotlight on the Funk Brothers' little-recognized contribution to the legendary Motown sound. The soundtrack album won two Grammys in 2003. Hunter and the Funks were awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 2004.Hunter was Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr.'s first hire. The Funk Brothers put the backbeat into several mainstream hits for artists and bands, including Diana Ross & The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.

|Chapman's perserverance was rewarded with a SCIAC title as the Panthers beat Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in double overtime.
File photo by Larry Newman Photography
The third time was the charm for Marietta against Ohio Northern in the OAC title game, while Chapman, Scranton and Hope won their tournaments in extra periods. Plus East Texas Baptist, Mass-Boston and Oberlin are going to the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever.
- Saturday's scoreboard: Men | Women
- Saturday men: Bubbles mostly preserved as Witt, Plattsburgh and Ramapo win
- Who's in? Conference tournament trackers: Men | Women
- Third set of NCAA regional rankings: Men | Women
- More headlines: Men | Women
- Selection Shows: Monday, 12:30 ET (Men) | 2:30 ET (Women)
After losing a heartbreaker to Ohio Northern a week ago, Marietta cruised past the Polar Bears 85-68 and into the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever. The Pioneers (24-4) jumped out to a 22-11 lead at the end of one period and never looked back, as they hit 13 three-pointers and converted 15 Ohio Northern turnovers into 31 points. Brooke Borich led Marietta with 23 points but she had plenty of help. Shay Lett scored 21 and shot 6-for-9 from three and Amisha Herd registered 17 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Ohio Northern sits on the bubble, hoping for an at-large bid when they are announced with the bracket on Monday afternoon.
A handful of teams that didn't need their conferences' automatic bids to make the NCAA Tournament won them anyway in dramatic fashion.
Leah Hurst scored only five points in Marymount's 61-60 victory over Christopher Newport in the CAC Championship, but the last two won the game. Hurst completed a running bank shot with .3 seconds remaining to make the difference and secure the AQ. Nicole Viscuso had 15 points for the Saints; Anitra Thomas led the Lady Captains with 13.
Scranton edged Juniata 59-58 in overtime to extend its winning streak to 21 games and all but guarantee it will host at least one weekend in the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Royals trailed 50-49 with 21 seconds left in regulation when Bridgette Mann made a jumper to put Scranton in front by one. She then added two free throws to put the Lady Royals in front by three, but Juniata's Dani Atkinson banked in a three with 1.3 seconds left to send the game to overtime. Scranton made six consecutive free throws in overtime to grab a 59-58 lead with 3:41 remaining and neither team scored again.
Hope also put itself in excellent shape to stay home during the NCAA Tournament with a 68-62 win in overtime over Trine. The Thunder jumped out to a 23-10 lead after one period, but Hope rallied back with a strong third period, outscoring Trine 13-4. Hayley Martin put Trine (24-3) in front 60-58 on a layup with two seconds left in regulation but the Flying Dutch (26-1) called timeout to advance the ball, then found Madison Geers for the game-tying score. Neither team scored much in overtime, but Hope scored a litle more and held Trine to one point for the victory.
Illinois Wesleyan's Rebekah Ehresman made two free throws with 1:15 left in regulation to snap a 57-all tie and the Titans finished off Wheaton (Ill.) 62-60 in the CCIW tournament finale. Illinois Wesleyan (24-3) struggled from three, shooting just 2-for-12, but made up for it by forcing 21 Wheaton turnovers. Ehresman led the way with 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
Wartburg didn't need a dramatic finish to complete its perfect run to the NCAA Tournament. The Knights beat Luther 86-74 to improve their record to 27-0 and ensure the Tournament will have at least one perfect team. Katie Sommer had 23 points and 10 assists, breaking her own record for assists in a season at Wartburg with 163.
Amherst will try to join Wartburg by beating Tufts in the NESCAC final tomorrow. In today's semifinals, Amherst defeated Wesleyan 58-31 with Madeline Eck and Jackie Nagel leading the way, scoring 12 points each. Tufts took down #2 seed, Bowdoin 60-48 after the Jumbos hit the boards hard, out-rebounding the Polar Bears 47-34. Jac Knapp played all 40 minutes for Tufts, scoring 16 and grabbing 12 rebounds; Erica DeCandido had 17 and 9. Bowdoin got 13 points from Kate Kerrigan in the loss.
UW-Whitewater secured its 17th trip to the NCAA Tournament and its first as the winners of both the WIAC regular season and conference titles, as the Warhawks topped UW-Oshkosh 68-65. Whitewater (24-3) shot 51 percent (23-for-45) and senior Brooke Trewyn posted another well-rounded box score (12 points, five rebounds, four assists).
Thomas More's final game in the PAC went much like most of its others, as the Saints romped over Washington and Jefferson 93-51 for the conference title. Madison Temple tallied 32 points, 12 rebounds and six assists for Thomas More (26-1) while led 30-7 after one period. The Saints, who went 15-for-33 from three on Saturday, did not lose a game to a conference foe over its last six seasons.
St. Thomas is approaching the same level of dominance in the MIAC as the Tommies won their 54th consecutive game against the rest of the conference with a 62-56 victory over Gustavus Adolphus in the tournament championship game. Playing without All-MIAC center Hannah Spaulding, the Tommies had as many made three pointers (11) as turnovers. St. Thomas' seniors went 78-2 in the MIAC over their four years in St. Paul.
Having already clinched the UAA's automatic bid, Chicago finished a perfect run through the conference with a 96-90 win at home over rival Washington U. Mia Farrell scored 31 points for the Maroons (23-2) who became the seventh team to sweep through the UAA. Rochester put the finishing touches on a resume that all but assures itself an at-large bid with a 66-52 win at home over Emory.
Rose-Hulman also finished a perfect run through its conference when the Fightin' Engineers defeated Transylvania 57-51 in the HCAC title game. Reserve forward Chiarra Franklin scored a team-high 14 points and was named tournament MVP.
Same goes for SUNY Geneseo as the Knights slayed the Red Dragons of SUNY Oneonta 58-52 for the SUNYAC Championship. Junior guard Kelsey Poplawski scored 20 points for SUNY Geneseo which improved to 25-2, including 20-0 against the rest of the conference.
George Fox led Willamette for much of the game on its way to a 60-50 win over the Bearcats in the final game of the NWC tournament. Kaitlin Jamieson notched 15 points and eight rebounds for George Fox (24-3).
|East Texas Baptist celebrates its ASC championship and first trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Kim Childress' layup with 11 seconds left was the difference as East Texas Baptist edged Mary Hardin-Baylor 71-70 in the ASC title game. The Tigers (22-6) won the back-and-forth affair that had six ties and 14 lead changes, thanks to 46 percent three point shooting (11-for-24) and a 33-23 bench scoring advantage. Hannah Holt had a double-double (19 points, 10 rebounds) for the Crusaders (23-5) who sit on the bubble for an at-large spot to the NCAA Tournament.
Like East Texas Baptist, Oberlin will make its NCAA Tournament debut on Friday after trouncing Wittenberg 71-39 in the NCAC tournament final. The Yeowomen jumped out to 16-2 lead after one quarter and held the Tigers to 14 field goals. Olivia Canning had 18 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for Oberlin (21-7).
The Corsairs will also need an at-large bid because Mass-Boston broke through against Mass-Dartmouth in the teams' third meeting, winning the Little East Conference title 65-52. The Beacons finished the game on a 15-2 run with freshman Joie Grassi scoring 10 of her game-high 26 points in the first quarter and the go-ahead free throw in the fourth quarter. This will be the Beacons' first official appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Boston State College participated in the innaugural NCAA Tournament in 1982, but there was also a separate Mass-Boston team playing at the same time.
Chapman won the longest game on Championship Saturday as the Panthers clawed past Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 70-61 in double overtime. Chapman nearly won in regulation but Kate Parrish scored the tying basket for the Athenas with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter. Chapman again had a three-point lead in the final minute of the first overtime when Corinne Bogle nailed a three-pointer to send the game to a second extra period. Jaryn Fajardo scored seven of her 25 points in double overtime and the Panthers finally put the game away.
Gettysburg and Haverford only made 13 field goals apiece, but the Bullets also had 15 free throws and won a low-scoring affair for the Centennial title, 44-35. Emily Gibbons, who was named tournament MVP said afterwards, ""This is the coolest thing I've ever felt Coming in as a freshman I always dreamed of hosting the conference championships and having the ability to host in front of a huge crowd and do it with this team is really something special."
The University of New England scored the first seven points of its game against Roger Williams and never looked back on its way to 59-40 win and a sixth consecutive CCC crown. Four of the Nor'easters starters scored double figures, led by Sam MacDonald with 17. Roger Williams has a reasonable chance for an at-large bid, provided it stays in front of Mass-Dartmouth in the last Northeast region rankings.
St. Joseph's (Maine) blew open the GNAC title game with a 25-6 third quarter en route to a 73-59 win over Suffolk. Kelsi McNamara scored 13 points in that period alone and 24 overall. All five Monks starters reached double digits in the victory. Like St. Joseph's, Westfield State won its third conference title in a row when the Owls flew past Framingham State 90-75. Kierra McCarthy had 15 points and seven rebounds for the MASCAC champions.
Stevens took a 13-point lead into the half at St. John Fisher and held on for a 52-47 win in the Empire 8 title game. Megan Brown posted a double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds) for the fifth game in a row and 13th overall for the Ducks (15-12). Cassidy Harrison scored 23 points for the second time in the NECC tournament and Becker rode that to a 60-50 victory over Newbury in the NECC championship.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – For the first time in program history, three Georgia College Baseball players were picked up in the MLB Draft. Senior Logan Mattix (Loganville, Georgia), junior Brandt Stallings (Buford, Georgia) and Brandon Purcell (Glennville, Georgia) were all chosen Wednesday in the MLB Draft.
Mattix was picked up in the 25th round by the defending World Series Champion Houston Astros at 762nd overall. Stallings was chosen in the 28th round by the Cincinnati Reds with pick No. 829. Purcell rounds out the group in the 32nd round at pick No. 963 for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The first player in program history to be both an Academic All-American and All-American for his play, Mattix was the 2018 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Player of the Year. He put together an impressive resume this season, including a .400 average, nine home runs, 67 RBIs and 62 runs scored. He was a two-time All-Region selection and the 2018 D2CCA Region Player of the Year.
"We are thrilled for Logan and appreciative to the Houston Astros for their interest in our players," said head coach Jason Eller. "Logan is a tremendous student-athlete with many All-American accolades both on the field and in the classroom. Mattix is a five-tool player and was a centerpiece to back-to-back PBC Tournament Championships. We wish him the best in his journey into professional baseball. A big thank you to scout Bobby St. Pierre for his belief in our program."
Stallings was nothing short of dominant in his one season in blue and green after transferring from Division I Georgia Tech. The All-PBC Second Team slugger compiled a .355 average with seven home runs, 39 RBIs and 35 runs, despite not being a regular starter at the beginning of the season.
"The Cincinnati Reds are getting an outstanding player and person in Brandt," said Eller. "We are very proud that he is a part of Georgia College Baseball and a big piece to our Peach Belt Championship run. Brandt is an exemplary student-athlete and will thrive in professional baseball. A special thank you to John Poloni, the area scout for the Reds and his confidence in our players to be pro-ball ready."
Purcell is a two-time All-PBC pick, going for a .377 batting average, five home runs, 56 RBIs and 64 runs scored as a senior. The catcher was a big part of the nation's leading defense with zero errors in 399 chances in the field.
"The GC family could not be more excited for Brandon and the opportunity to be a professional that is before him," said Eller. Purcy is a fantastic baseball player and the teammate that every coach strives to build. Brandon will be a part of one of the classiest organizations in the MLB. GC Baseball is especially thankful for Cardinals scout Charles Petersen and the faith he has in our players to be successful at the Major League level."
The trio gives the Bobcats MLB draftees in each of the last two seasons, joining Brandon Benson's selection to the Cardinals in 2017. GC Baseball has now had 20 student-athletes chosen in the MLB Draft. The last time the Bobcats had more than one in the same season was 2007, when Andrew Reichard was chosen in the 13th round and Michael Antonini in the 18th.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at @GCBobcats on Twitter and Facebook for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit GCBobcats.PhotoReflect.com to purchase photo prints from home athletic contests.

Synopsis of Golf Croquet
Golf Croquet - A SynopsisThe opposing sides each have two balls: Black and Blue against Red and Yellow. A side may be one or two people (i.e. singles or doubles). Each side plays alternately in rotation: blue, red, black, yellow as shown on the centre peg.
Each turn consists of one stroke only: no extra turn is gained by running a hoop or hitting another ball as in Association Croquet To start the game, toss a coin. The winner of the toss plays black and blue, and blue always starts.
The opening shots are played from within one yard of the corner nearest hoop 4, and the players aim to run the hoops in order from 1 to 12. A deciding hoop is run if the scores are equal at this point, making thirteen in all. Some games may finish after 7 hoops and other after 19. The winner is the side that scores the most points out of the total hoops contested.
To score a point, a ball must run completely through the hoop. A ball has run a hoop if you can slide a straight edge down the front of the hoop without touching the ball. It may run the hoop in more than one go. If a ball should go through two hoops in order in the same stroke, both points are scored.
The side that first gets a ball through Hoop 1 scores that point and then all balls go for the next hoop in order (i.e. Hoop 2). All players must contest the same hoop. A player may proceed towards the next hoop before the previous hoop is run, however the opposing team may request that any ball which is more than halfway towards the next hoop, when the hoop is actually run, is brought back to specific half way points as specified in the detailed rules.
A ball that goes off the court is replaced on the boundary where it went off but will be temporarily moved if it interferes with the playing of another ball.
Any striking of a player's ball as part of a player's turn must be a clean hit and there are a number of faults that a player may make as he strikes the ball. These are defined in the detailed rules and are called striking faults. If a player commits any such fault all balls are replaced in their position before the faulty stroke was made and the player loses his turn.
If a player plays out of sequence and it is noticed before the opponent plays, the opponent may either have the balls left where they are or replaced were they were before the erroneous stoke, and the opponent then continues play with either of his balls. If more than one ball is played out of sequence before it is noticed, play continues in the sequence set by the last ball played, no balls are replaced. If a player plays the wrong ball, either an opponent's or his partner's ball in doubles, the balls are replaced in their original position or left where they lie, at the opponent's discretion, and the opponent continues play with either of his own balls.
To allow evenly contested games between players of different abilities the weaker player is given a number of extra strokes (called bisques) which can be taken at any stage of the game. However he may not score a hoop in a bisque stroke.

WNV Surveillance
October 5, 2017
San Mateo County
As of September 28, 2017, there have been 320 dead birds reported in San Mateo County. Of those, 56 have been suitable for testing and 1 has tested positive (2%) for West Nile Virus (WNV). Nine dead squirrels and four mosquito pools have been tested for West Nile Virus in San Mateo County thus far this year, and none of them have tested positive.
The district asks residents to call in to report dead birds or tree squirrels. Specimens that appear to have been dead for less than 24 hours and are in good condition will be tested for WNV. Residents should contact the state WNV hotline at 877-WNV-BIRD (968-2473). Reports can also be made online at http://westnile.ca.gov.
WNV has been detected in 42 counties in 2017 (see map), compared to a five year average of 37 counties at this date. 174 human case of West Nile Virus has been reported in California this year, from seventeen counties, and there have been eight fatalities. Statewide, 6,513 birds have been reported and 1,676 have been tested with 405 positive results (24%). 3,116 mosquito pools have tested positive for West Nile Virus, compared to a five-year average of 2,742 positive mosquito pools at this time. 235 positive sentinel chickens has been reported from fourteen counties.

Happy Hump Day! Today I am linking up with Mia to share my January Favorites! Here goes:
1. Vaseline Advance Healing Lip Therapy. For years I have been using a whole slew of products to combat the dry lips that I experience every year thanks to the brutal NYC cold. I thought I had a winner in Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment but it is pretty expensive at $22 a tube. Then, when my hubby broke his ankle I was in the hospital with him for a few days and my lips were super chapped. Of course I had no products with me for that so I went down to the gift shop. All they had was the Vaseline so I bought it. It is my new FAVORITE. It is not greasy and doesn't sit on your lips like gloss. It absorbs immediately and actually softens and smooths. I love it so much that on my last trip to Target I bought ten tubes. Taylor thought I was nuts but I will never use anything else.
2. Women's Nike Free 5.0 V4 Running Shoes. I have wanted these for a super long time but they were sold out. I finally found them at Finishline and am totally in love. Super comfy and maybe at some point I will stop being so lazy and wear them to work out. Maybe.
3. Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. I know I am behind the trend on this one. Everyone has been raving about MO products for a while and I did try the oil a while back and I didn't love it. A few weeks ago I got a Keratin treatment for the first time – LIFECHANGING – and my hairdresser recommended this brand because it doesn't have sulfates. I've been using it for a few weeks and I'm pretty happy with it. It smells great.
4. The Woman Who Stole My Life. I am going to do a full review on this in the near future but I love Marian Keyes and this was worth reading.
5. Real Techniques Bold Metals 301 Flat Contour Brush. Ahmazingggggggggg. This video shows you how to use it and it really does work. I am giving away three brushes from this line (including the contour brush). You can enter to win them here.
