If you're planning a vacation to New York you should include making a trip to see historical Ellis Island on your sightseeing list. Ellis Island is a historical landmark and attraction in New York worth visiting. This little island holds so much historical information about early American history that anyone would enjoy to see its wonders and to explore the American immigration history that it holds.
Ellis Island is located just off the southern tip of Manhattan. You can take a round trip ferry ride for $13.00 from Battery Park to Ellis Island where you can enjoy the historical museums on American immigration for free. From Ellis Island you can see breath taking views of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of American freedom. Once you arrive at Ellis Island, you will be surrounded with the stories of American immigrants as far back as 1892. Over half of all Americans have at least on ancestor that passed through Ellis Island on their journey to America. At the Main Building and Immigration Museum you can browse through family heirlooms that the many immigrants from Europe brought with them on their journey to America.
While at Ellis Island, you may be interested to know that you can do some family research on your own family. At the American Family Immigration History Center feel free to research your own family's story and find your relatives that passed through Ellis Island to America in their search for freedom and a better life. If you are having any trouble locating your families record you can ask for help from one of the several friendly volunteers that you will see at the Immigration History Center.
At Ellis Island you can enjoy a self- guided tour of the immigration museum or you can purchase an audio tour for $8.00. The museum at Ellis Island holds historical artifacts and photographs of several of the immigrants that passed through Ellis Island to American between 1892 and 1954. While at Ellis Island you can also enjoy the American Immigrant Wall of Honor exhibit which contains the names of 60,000 immigrants that passed through Ellis Island on their way to America. You can also view logs of the hundreds of ships that arrived at Ellis Island carrying many of our ancestors over to their new home in America.
Ellis Island is a must see historical land mark on your trip to New York. The history of almost every American is housed here on this tiny New York Island.

St. John's High School
Category: Institutional, school, retrofit
Others involved: Public Schools Finance Board, MCW Engineering
Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Project at a Glance: The three buildings making up the school were cooled by an existing chiller (which required replacement) and heated by two steam boilers that continue to serve perimeter heating. Ground source energy heating and cooling equipment was installed in place of the existing chiller and was designed to integrate with the buildings' air handling and ventilation system. The horizontally-bored ground-coupled heat exchanger (GHX) minimized damage to the landscaping of the field.
Features & Innovations:
- Horizontal ground loop installed beneath the school football field
- The ground heat exchanger now provides all of the cooling and as much of the heating it can do with a boiler serving as an auxiliary heat source.
- The system is a reversible chiller.

Video could soon play a bigger part on Yahoo!'s (NASDAQ: YHOO) local news and event coverage, Fool contributor Tim Beyers says in the following video.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! is in preliminary talks to acquire News Distribution Network, or NDN, for $300 million. Talk of the deal comes amid efforts to expand several area of the business with new e-zines for tech and other verticals, plus video deals that include the exclusive online broadcast rights for SNL clips, and a new interview show with Katie Couric as host.
Yahoo! chief Marissa Mayer has also been on a shopping spree, acquiring companies and technology that aid in developing and presenting content in a compelling manner. The thinking? Better content should draw in better traffic that can be monetized through contextual advertising. It's a strategy that should feel familiar to anyone who's visited Google's sites.
NDN would bolster Yahoo!'s local efforts. The network, founded in 2007 by a former AT&T executive, acts sort of like a more professional version of YouTube for aggregating and distribution local news clips from around the country for rebroadcasting via national outlets.
According to the Journal, NDN has some 100,000 videos in inventory that it monetizes with ads, and then shares the revenue -- again, like YouTube, even if the site operates at a much smaller scale. NDN served 573 million video views in January vs. more than 12.8 billion for Google sites, the Journal reports, citing comScore data.
The point remains that Mayer's strategy requires building a series of content pillars, and thus far, Yahoo!'s local efforts are underserved. NDN could change that, Tim says. Do you agree? Please leave a comment below to let us know what you think, and whether you would buy, sell, or short Yahoo! stock at current prices.

LETTER: Stop American influence before it's too late
RATHER than live with the pretence that Australians have any real sense of national identity, we should simply admit to being the Americans down under and raise the stars and stripes.
After all, our fetish with all things American means we now copy their jargon, greetings, attire and accents.
In fact the only remaining vestige of "Australiana" is our total mastery of nonsense.
This last effort to maintain our integrity and individuality is actually increasing exponentially.
The main perpetrator of this insidious propaganda is our very own media, which, for reasons only known to them, has unleashed a cruel plot to destroy "Australiana" at every level.
Our "adoption" of Halloween is an embarrassment.
Is this what we need to do to have fun?
Rather we should have "All Monkey Day" where we all dress up as primates to display our "monkey see, monkey do" attitude.
Why are we incapable of initiating our very own regional celebration where we all dress up and have council administered fireworks, fun games and instant raffles?
We could build in a percentage to all confectionary to include a donation to charity.
At least we could hold our heads up and say it is Australian.
I feel sad for the elderly who must watch this degraded transition from "Australiana" to "Americana".
We must do something before it is too late.
The first step should be to take a realistic look into the mirror and cut the nonsense.

Speakout 2/6
I'm calling about the Thursday paper, using the children. First of all, whoever called and made this comment is ignorant and stupid. These kids were underage. These people were supplying alcohol. And what would these people think if these kids would get out here drunk and have a wreck and kill one of their family members? I'm talking about the people that called and put this stupid column in SpeakOut in the Standard Democrat. The police did their job. I'm proud. Just because some people have more money than other people don't mean they're above the law. They need to pay. They broke the law and they have to pay. The person that called SpeakOut should realize one of these kids could have had a wreck and killed their self or one of their loved ones. Think about it. The cops did their job. Now the courts and the jury need to do their job.
- - -
This is in response to Thursday Jan. 24 SpeakOut on Using the children about the police department wasting their time on underage drinking. First of all, it is a crime, it is against the law for kids to drink that are under the age of 21. But, I guess it's okay if they're at a party. Let me guess. Your kids were probably there.
To the person and others that recently commented about "Using The Children." Are you saying that it is okay to sell, serve, present or even share an alcoholic beverage with a child? Are you sure your elevator goes all the way to the top floor? In reference to your statement about the "right side of town" what is the right side of town? If you think the police department does not deal with violent crimes then I suggest you apply for their "scared of true criminals" job and then you might be able to control the contributing to the delinquency of minor scapegoats and what is written in the local paper.
The person who called in and said the authorities are wasting their time by pursuing charges against the couple that supplied the young people with alcohol is dead wrong. This is a very serious matter and should be pursued to the fullest extent. I know young people can and will get alcohol from time to time, but supposedly mature adults should not make it easy for them to do so.
I need to do my civic duty for the season and address an issue: I would like to put everyone at ease of the Writer's Strike that is happening in Hollywood! Everyone calm down. Take a moment. Breathe. It will be okay. Now, I understand that some of you are really concerned that you will have to watch dreaded "reruns" for a few more weeks/months, I have a resolution to that problem: Get up off the couch, spend some quality time with your family. Try heading out to the bowling alley together. Maybe even go to the gym and exercise! (gasp) Or simply buy some new board games or cards and play them. Or if money isn't readily available, go to the library and get some books to read, it's free. I know that I have really shocked many of you, but I'm sure we can all get through this tough time with some effort. I have faith in you all.
I have children in my neighborhood who don't seem to have a clue on how to treat and relate to animals. These children display any affection, love or pet animals, have no empathy whatsoever for the emotional needs of family pets. Where and what kind of people are the parents? Children have to be shown how to love an animal. Are the parents so cool and laid back on their multiple anti depressants, which we all know dull your emotions and senses, not to mention your sex drive, that they have lost the ability to know how to love. I think the answer is yes.
I was calling to find out where the money goes that our governor has accumulated for his reelection campaign. I understand it's close to $2 million.
Blunt said he won't convert his campaign funds to personal use. It is illegal to convert campaign contributions for personal use. Right now, Blunt has about $4 million in his campaign warchest, although some of those funds will be returned under a recent campaign finance ruling.

|Look up waft in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Waft is a term meaning to "carry along gently as through the air." The term is commonly used to describe scents that have diffused into other parts of a room, or to describe smoke as being seen moving through the air. Wafting may be used for everyday substances, to make sure they are fresh, or consumable.
In chemistry and other sciences, it is a term of laboratory safety.[1] In "wafting" a person takes an open hand with the palm towards the body and moves their hand over the substance in a gentle circular motion so as to lift vapors of the substance towards the nose. This method allows for a lower concentration of vapors to be inhaled and is particularly useful in safely smelling ammonia, hydrochloric acid, and other dangerous or unpleasant chemicals.
- ^ "General Chemistry Lab Safety". University of Oregon. Retrieved 9 March 2013.
Never taste anything. Never directly smell the source of any vapor or gas; instead by means of your cupped hand, waft a small sample to your nose. Do not inhale these vapors but take in only enough to detect an odor if one exists.

New York: A tornado has touched down in New York City's easternmost borough of Queens, causing damage to homes and knocking down trees and power lines in some neighbourhoods.
The tornado made its way to Queens around 10:20 p.m. Thursday along a path about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) long and 100 yards (91 meters) wide in the borough's College Point and Whitestone neighborhoods, the National Weather Service said on Friday, Xinhua reported. No injuries were reported as a result of the tornado. The twister was confirmed as an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, the weakest strength with winds in the 104-136 km per hour range. Tornados in New York City are rare. The last tornado touched down in Queens in 2013.

Q1. Can athletic injuries be addressed effectively through non-surgical management?
Various athletic injuries, such as runner's knee and tennis elbow, can be effectively treated with conservative management. A physiatrist may aid in diagnosing injuries that are likely to respond to non-surgical care as opposed to those in need of immediate surgery. Often a trial of physical therapy is prescribed. At times, injections can help in reducing pain and inflammation. However, surgery may be a reasonable next step if the above care fails to achieve the desired results.
Q2. Is physical therapy prescribed by a physiatrist different than that of other providers?
Physiatrists, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, work closely with physical therapists throughout their medical training. This allows for an understanding between the doctor and therapist intended to optimize patient care. However, these relationships can be equally as strong with other specialty doctors such as orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists and neurologists.
Q3. Can a physiatrist recommend complimentary care beyond physical therapy for a lumbar disc herniation?
Lumbar disc herniations and the lower back pain that results can be challenging to treat. Physical therapy may be an essential part of an individual's care. However, other complementary services may aid in alleviating pain as well. For example; acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and Pilates can complement the physical therapy. A physiatrist may help in better organizing your care. The Hospital for Special Surgery's Integrative Care Center is an example of a facility dedicated to offering various types of complimentary care conveniently under one roof.
Q4. What approaches are available to treat lumbar degenerative disc disease?
Lumbar degenerative disc disease can result not only in pain, but it may also affect an individual's function. Therefore, treatments are intended to both address the pain and improve function. At times, medications and injections can help in alleviating pain. However, such treatments may only offer short term relief unless an individual's core strength is improved as well. This can be accomplished with the appropriate physical therapy. In addition, maintaining a healthy weight will reduce the stress onto the spine. For those who sit at a desk all day long, try to get up and move around every 30 to 45 minutes. Lastly, make sure that your work site's ergonomics are correct for your body. Current research in rejuvenating therapies offers some hope that additional treatments may be available soon.
Q5. Do procedures such as intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) and nucleoplasty really work for lower back pain?
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) and nucleoplasty are outpatient procedures that can help in reducing lower back pain. Both interventions attempt to reduce pain by altering a disc under fluoroscopic guidance. The key is to pick the right procedure for the right patient. An interventional physiatrist trained in such procedures can help in determining whether either is appropriate for you. The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) for disc-related pain is another treatment that is currently being studied. Ongoing research at Hospital for Special Surgery is attempting to determine the effectiveness of PRP for certain disc injuries.

It's all systems go for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles.
He will start Sunday's wild-card playoff game in Chicago against the NFC North champion Bears, despite a scare in the Eagles' 24-0 domination of the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
Foles could not finish the game after being sacked by Ryan Kerrigan with most of the fourth quarter still to play. He held his postgame news conference, though, which was a good sign because the team probably would not have made him available had the injury been severe enough to keep him from playing in the postseason. As it was, Foles said he was sore.
Head coach Doug Pederson confirmed on Monday that Foles' test results were clean. The reward is that now he gets to face a Khalil Mack-fueled defense.
"Wednesday, again, will be a walk-through, so there is nothing real taxing there," Pederson said about Foles' week of preparation. "It's more mental reps. Thursday, as the week goes, we'll, I don't want to say cut him loose, but yeah, we'll take care of him and make sure he's ready for Sunday."
Interestingly, Pederson had no update on Carson Wentz.
Pederson isn't committing to Foles for anything beyond Sunday.
"There is no guarantee we're going to win this game," Pederson said.
And if the Eagles win and get ready to visit No. 1 seed New Orleans the following weekend?
"I'll evaluate [the QB situation] next Monday," the coach said.
Pederson added that "as of right now" Nate Sudfeld is Foles' backup.
Still going strong
The seven-member head-coaching class of 2016 is down to one member, and it is Doug Pederson. The Eagles' hiring of Pederson in January of 2016 to replace Chip Kelly was widely panned as a disaster.
Mike Lombardi, who likes to tout himself as having won three Super Bowls as a front office executive, said of the hiring at the time: "Everybody knows Pederson isn't a head coach. He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I've seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL. Pederson was barely a coordinator before he became a head coach."
That crunching sound you hear is Lombardi eating his words -- again.
Lombardi wasn't alone in his belief that Pederson wasn't ready to be a head coach.
All he has done, though, is lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl LII title in February. As amazing as that accomplishment was, Pederson's coaching job after the team slipped to 6-7 after an overtime loss to Dallas was a whole other kind of amazing.
The Eagles stayed alive by beating the playoff-bound Los Angeles Rams on the road, then toppling the Houston Texans in back-to-back weeks after that controversial loss in Dallas. The Rams and Texans were a combined 21-6 when the Eagles played them, and they won them both.
When informed that he was the only coach hired in 2016 to still have a job, Pederson wiped his brow and jokingly said, "Whew, all I can remember is I think I was seventh of seven that year. That's all I remember."
He then added: "Listen, you have to have confidence in your ability, and obviously, I'm not going to speak for the other guys, but I had a lot of confidence in myself. I feel like you have to surround yourself with really, really good assistant coaches, good coordinators, and guys that love ball and love to teach. That's obviously something I learned from [former NFL head coach and executive] Mike Holmgren and Andy [Reid].
"Again, I can't speak for the others, but that's just what I know. Then having the ability and confidence in myself to lead and teach and get guys to play. I feel like if that's good enough, it's good enough."
RB Josh Adams led the team in rushing this season with 511 yards on 120 carries. The rushing yards are the eighth-most for a rookie in team history.
CB Rasul Douglas has led the Eagles in tackles for three straight games. He also finished as the team's interception leader this season with three.
S Malcolm Jenkins led the Eagles in tackles for the second straight season. This year he had 136. Last year he had 119. In 2016, he was second in tackles with 114, three behind leader Rodney McLeod.
WR Alshon Jeffery ended the season with the most receiving yards in a single season (843) since 2014 with the Chicago Bears when he had 1,133.
WR Nelson Agholor finished the year with a career-high 64 catches.
DE Michael Bennett recorded nine sacks in his first year with the Eagles, which is the most he has had in a year since 2015 when he had 10 with the Seahawks.

Recommendations For New Wheel
Posted Oct 18 2017 - 07:52 AM
Lately, however, I getting pretty bothered with the pedals, because once every couple of months they require cleaning because the throttle goes only 90% at times.
I presume it's a part of maintenance. It's fine if it happens once in a while. But lately it has been getting problematic.
I feel it may be getting time to invest in a more modern steering wheel.
It is a great wheel, but it kind of is from a previous era of gaming.
I have been looking around and have a few in interest. For the steering wheel I have a few requirements:
- Good comfortability
- Little maintenance required (mainly the pedals!!)
- A good amount of buttons
- Includes stick shift
- Though I do not use a console, I share a preference towards Xbox rather than PS, but it is not essential.
- Money is not an issue.
Personally I'm leaning towards the Logitech G920. But before I make the decision to buy, I'd like some recommendations from you.
Which wheel would be your choice and why?
Posted Oct 18 2017 - 08:37 AM
I have never done any maintenance to the metal pedals over the years appart from hoovering.
Nore did I have any problems with it since several years. I don`t remember exactly when I bought it, but it must have been about more than 5/6 years ago.
Edit: There is a TH8A Add-On Shifter that works with the Thrustmaster T500 RS.
Edited by Stefan Roess, Oct 19 2017 - 05:21 PM.
Posted Oct 18 2017 - 09:36 AM
Once I have a proper mounting platform I'm also planning to buy a T500.
Edited by Millennium, Oct 18 2017 - 09:39 AM.
Posted Oct 18 2017 - 09:38 AM
But TM do make better pedals that you can add to the T series wheels like the T3PA-PRO ADD-ON
They also make a neat 7 speed shifter TH8A Add-On Shifter
The other nice feature of the T series wheels is that they are detachable and interchangeable. So you could have a different more authentic wheel for GPL than you do for modern sims but still using the same FF hub/servo base.
You say money no object but this does start to mount up. I think this where Logitech score making a decent wheel pedals and shifter bundle for the same price that I paid for my T300RS with shitty pedals and no shifter.
As far as pedals going bad because of dust and dirt. I think they will all suffer the same fate eventually because of them being on the floor.
The good thing about the G25 pedals is that is was easy to replace the pots.
Some high end stuff probably uses optical pots which are probably more durable.
I have only been using the T300RS wheel for a few weeks but so far I like it. But I can't say how durable it is after such a short time.
Posted Oct 18 2017 - 02:50 PM
Or just buy the T500 + + ...
Posted Oct 19 2017 - 02:29 AM
The G29 and 920 will need Fairshift, and the new Logitech software won't let you turn damping off so it feels like driving through treacle . Brake pedal offers a bit more resistance which I quite like. Also the H shifter is an optional extra, not included in the basic package like the G25 and G27.
The Logitech wheels are noisy over kerbs and bumps, and feel a bit plasticky, but they're good value for money (G29 + H shifter was approx £130 last time I looked on Amazon)
I get the impression the Thrustmaster stuff is a bit better quality, the Fanatec stuff looks nice but pricey.

I look at the last line on your list and think that Fanatec should be at the top of your list. With a little mixing of available "off the shelf" components all your requirements will be met.
Posted Oct 19 2017 - 12:26 PM
It certainly did gave me some second thoughts about it.
Unfortunately in many cases, the ultimate choice are a combination of the offered products!
And then it is just the question if they are compatible with each other...
So, many recommendations go to the T500RS. It's a fine looking wheel, I'd say.
I really like the metal pedals. But I haven't really raced with 3 pedals yet (only normal driving ), and I'm not quite sure whether I'll need the third pedal, in- or outside GPL.
Usually I use one button to apply the clutch. Then again, so does the G920, so little difference in that.
Might become a problem in GPLRacer. (I don't know other leagues I'm in that see it as an issue.)
Well, I can alternatively use the flippers, but it always felt so wrong to use flippers in GPL to me. I always a stick shift on my MOMO, which only goes up down, but it gives a more realistic experience.
But that aside... is there a fix (in the making) on that regard? Or would that be Fairshift?
But having put several more things in consideration now, I haven't really changed on which wheel to take.
If there was a best combination, I think it'd be the Logtiech G920 + Shifter and T3PA-Pro Add-On pedals for me. At least, if they work together (they probably do not).
Pardon me, that was slightly exaggerated. I don't mean to buy a €1000,- high-end wheel or playseat, so to speak (yet ), but rather in the range of G29, T500SR is no issue. (say €500,- max.)

the downside is the pedals are not the best but you can always get the t3pa pro pedals + their 7speed shifter if you are a little short on $$ later
btw the shifter is a stand alone so it will work with any wheel

My understanding is that the T500 is some what dated. The T300 with the t3pa pedals is the way to go in your price range I think.

I could not use a wheel that did not have FF.

Make sure you have the latest driver and firmware installed.
Do you use the T500 for other sims? If GPL is the only sim that won't work, then it almost has to be in an issue with GPL settings. If you have problems with other sims as well, then it may be a problem with your wheel, or the drivers.
I have been a T500 user for 6 years and have had no issue with ffb working in GPL.
One other thing that came to mind is to ask if your using a USB extension port or hub. I remember some saying that the T500 didn't like the extension ports and to make sure it's plugged directly to the PC, preferably with a USB 2.0 port. I have mine plugged into a USB 3.0 and I haven't had issue with it, but some have said their T500 had problems with USB 3.0, so may be worth trying.

Beware G27s and G29s. A friend has had a bad experience with a new G27 as they increased the deadzone, and the G29 is quite pricey for the update and competition. I'd honestly go after a G25 in good condition on e-Bay or other forums that may have it listed.

Leaving Cert results 2013, A year later – the transformation of The Homework Club to Confidence Club
So it is one year on - our first state exams results since transforming The Homework Club into Confidence Club and I have been asking myself what are the real results?
In the past I found myself dancing around the real issues with students - as parents and students alike thought they were attending some form of "grind school" we spent more time by stealth in the background getting to the real reasons behind what was going on ... it was often a case of me waiting for an opportunity in the hall to chat casually to a student or waiting for the chance when a parent collected their charge.
Now it is all a lot more straight forward and upfront - which means less time waiting for the chance to talk about what is really happening. All too often the maths result or other challenge is just a factor in what is really happening in a young persons life.
This means a year later I can say that we have worked with real people, real problems and in record time. Many of the students I have met have required no more help from me or my team after the initial hour and a half meeting. Their whole lives have improved not just the "maths problem" or the "english essay rows". The time my team have spent in peoples house has been less that we would have needed in the school for greater return.
All round as what we do is not conventional in anyway it didn't make sense to continue with a conventional school model. I felt often that we had a revolving door as we got results too quickly and now we get them even quicker with a wider spectrum of people.
Another change for me is that I have often felt that we work with students that everyone else has washed their hands of - now we work with the really outside the box stories that no one has thought of! I truly enjoy the challenge and nothing has ever shocked me. I think there is no way now we can be seen as a simple "grind school".
I'm looking forward to what this year brings and all the amazing young people I will meet along the way.

According to GMC executives, the 2017 Sierra Denali Ultimate is going to offer its owners unparalleled capability and efficiency, coupled with refinement and maneuverability. But then again, General Motors has made a lot of promises over the years, and not all have been fulfilled.
However, this might be one of those "sorry I doubted you" moments, as this truck actually delivers on its promises and the "Ultimate" part of its name. This is one of the best trucks that bears the GMC tag.
For those of you who are new to this geography thing, Mount Denali is the highest point in all of North America – the entire continent north of the Andes. And that says something.
2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate Release Date
The release date of 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate has not been disclosed yet, although it should appear by the end of 2016, unless there are delays in production and shipping.
Price for 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate
The price tag on 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate will not go below the $60,000 mark, and any additional equipment will only drive it up further and further. However, after all is said and done, this truck will be worth every penny and then some – for how can you put a price on a dream?
Exterior of Sierra Denali Ultimate
On the outside, the 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate is going to feature lots of chrome, mostly in the grille and the fog lamp bezels, and lots of aluminum, mostly in the wheels and the chassis.
It will come in half a dozen different colors, but all of them will have in common a bunch of features, including a shimmery exhaust tip made of chrome and stainless steel, and a spray-on bed liner to name a few. LED headlamps and tail lamps are also updated and accounted for.
GMC Sierra Denali Interior
On the inside, the new 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate features lots of leather, including a steering wheel that helps you direct that all-wheel drive exactly where you want it. The inside is quite comfortable, with lots of space for the driver and the passengers, at both leg and shoulder level.
Hated seats are a must, and so is the air conditioning system of the latest generation. Infotainment is top notch, although navigation is optional and highly recommendable. The interior is mostly in jet black nuances, and the Denali logo dominates the sill plates and floor mats.
2017 GMC Sierra Denali Engine
Engine-wise, the new 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate will feature a 6.2 liter V-8 engine with automatic transmission. Anyone in the market for high-quality trucks will be hard-pressed to ignore something with 420hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
The exact specifications are still a mystery, but the technology keeps getting better, so this truck can be relied on to do its best on any terrain and under any circumstances. Among these technologies are those pertaining to the Eco Tec3, which enable valve timing, direct fuel injection and active fuel management. The new Sierra Denali will feature greatly improved fuel efficiency as well, especially compared to the earlier models.

Rocket Scientists - Supernatural Highways CDEP
Really nice, all-instrumental, very proggy and very good EP from Mr. Norlander and his gigantic bank of keyboards and backing musicians.
"After a 6-year hiatus, veteran prog rockers Erik Norlander (keyboards), Mark McCrite (guitars) and Don Schiff (NS/Sticks, cello) return with a powerful re-entry into the atmosphere with Supernatural Highways, a 30-minute all-instrumental deluxe EP that demonstrates the ongoing agility and perpetual motion of this accomplished group of musicians.
Keyboardist Erik Norlander explains, "2013 was the 20th anniversary of the first Rocket Scientists album, Earthbound, released in 1993. At the end of 2012, I got in touch with Mark and Don and suggested that we record some new music to mark the occasion. We were all really into the idea, and like our last studio release -- the 5-disc Looking Backward set -- we ended up somewhere other than where we initially planned to go! But that's the spirit of rock 'n' roll, right? We wrote so much music that we couldn't fit it all on a single CD or reasonably-sized album download. When you consider the previous double studio album, Revolution Road, from 2006, there are 7 discs between our last two releases! So this time we decided to go in the other direction."
Centered around the epic 26-minute track, "Traveler on the Supernatural Highways," Rocket Scientists delivers an unexpected chapter in their rich recorded history. The song was originally composed by Norlander to act as a prelude and finale to the album in his usual conceptual style. But the song got longer and longer, and the band wasn't satisfied with any of the attempted edits or truncations. Norlander comments, "I just kept going with it, and every new piece seemed to work so well. Even one of Don's new compositions, a funky NS/Stick workout, fit so perfectly with what I was doing, really the only choice was to simply keep the whole vision intact."
The opening track is surely long, but it has a story to tell. Stick player Don Schiff comments, "The sonic brilliance of Erik's keyboard sounds and playing coupled with Mark's wonderfully styled guitar chord rhythms and voicings, plus, okay, I got a couple notes in the right order too, all gives the listener something new to discover with each play of the track." Humble words from the master Stick artist who also plays cello on the album.
Supernatural Highways concludes with a Rocket Scientists-hotrodded version of the James Bond theme, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Guitarist Mark McCrite says about the track, "James Bond soundtracks are solely responsible for awakening my lifelong obsession with music, and I've always thought "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" would be an excellent fit for Rocket Scientists. I knew Erik would be great at reinterpreting this song in his inimitable Moog-infused bombastic style, but I was truly astonished at how Don was able to take a simple line progression and turn it into something completely his own -- it's pure genius!"
Rocket Scientists employed Norlander's spouse and the band's perpetual musicalal cohort, symphonic rock vocalist, Lana Lane. McCrite says, "I knew that Lana shared my passion for Bond music, so it was only natural to have her recreate the crucial string arrangement with her signature vocals. And of course she nailed it!" The band brought in horn players Jon Pappenbrook (trumpet) and Eric Jorgensen (trombone) to cover the iconic Bond brass parts. Papenbrook and Jorgensen both played on Norlander's lauded Hommage Symphonique album -- along with Schiff and McCrite -- which was recorded directly on the heels of the 2006 Rocket Scientists double album, Revolution Road.
The band has also brought back long-time collaborators, drummer Gregg Bissonette and percussionist Greg Ellis, to add their trademark performances to the Rocket Scientists sound once again. Stick player Don Schiff notes, "It doesn't get better in a rhythm section to have 'stereo Gregs' (Bissonette and Ellis) to create gigantic powerful, dynamic and meaningful grooves with."

|400 W. Rich Winter Market sandwich board, and all the goodies
we got with our own Festivus Swig Bag
Recent efforts to revitalize the neighborhood have been steadily progressing, enough so to get national attention. The Atlantic, the prominent monthly magazine originally established in 1857 in Boston, featured the Franklinton neighborhood in a series of stories about the Columbus region overall:
The facility at 400 West Rich is one of the main cogs of this effort to effect positive change to the area. While we had dropped by their Farmers Market before, we had not previously had a full viewing of the property that was provided by the fourth annual Festivus! event provided event-goers this weekend. Accompanied by a friend from out of town with Columbus ties, we were pleased to find a much more vast expanse (the space contains 100,000 square feet of space) than we had ever figured and the bastion of creativity that resides in the studios contained within.
|We found the Farmers Market bustling in its space next to Strongwater Food and Spirits
|Coffee was in plentiful supply, with the folks from the Short North's
Mission Coffee and Olde Towne East's Upper Cup Coffee in house.
|Aromaku's Indonesian-styled eats, along with many vendors toting
holiday and other baked edibles, were around to feed the masses. Plenty
of human activities to burn off calories were also around in the form of a
kids' area, yoga classes, as well as a performance by Movement Activities
|This was a theme of the day: there really was a lot more to be found
simply by wending through the maze of hallways of 400 West Rich
|Between the regular Market and the Festivus events, there were plenty of
intriguing goods available for event-goers. I ended up with a nice little
leather mini-wallet from the folks at Open Hand Leather Goods.
|Art? Festivus had plenty of examples for sale and display this day. If you couldn't
find something that appealed to your senses, you weren't trying hard enough.
|This enthusiastic event volunteer touted to us the benefits of the event Swig Bag.
Besides a natty tote designed by Sarah Pierce, the bag contained products and
discounts from numerous Columbus area businesses. All proceeds from the event
went to Gladden Community House and the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

Location: Everywhere
Today started with a warm breakfast before the cool ascent into the Andes mountains. We bundled up and took an hour ride by truck to our first destination, Quilotoa crater. The view from the top of the volcanic crater warmed our hearts which helped because the whole group was freezing in the high altitude. We continued to hike around the crater before descending the mountain. There were two options of how to get into the valley, either walking or sliding down on your butt. The temperature increased as we proceeded and layers were shed as we enjoyed the several breathtaking views from our high location. We had lunch in a small village and proceeded to descend. Once we reached the valley, we had a long trek up the mountain back to our lodgings at the black sheep inn. A group of us took a truck back but a few kept hiking up the mountain. The long walk was worth the sense of accomplishment once we reached the top. From there we proceeded to take advantage of the black sheep's sauna and hot tub. A brave few decided to use the water slide into the freezing lake before running uphill to the warmth of the hot tub. After dinner, a small dance party was had to celebrate our closeness after the three weeks we've been together. The days are winding down fast, and the group continues to bond closer than ever.

In last week's issue I explained my personal history with slightly off-kilter Swedish tech-pop queen Robyn, who'll perform tonight at LC Pavilion, 405 Neil Ave. Apparently Katy Perry loves Robyn too, though the feeling may not be mutual.
Diamond Rings and Natalia Kills will open, which means if you arrive early it won't be boring. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost a mere $15, and let me tell you, that's a steal considering how much ass she kicked last time I saw her.

United's Trimming Service to Hong Kong, Buenos Aires
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
Hong Kong and Buenos Aires may be two of the world's most appealing travel destinations, but with ongoing political unrest in the former and an uncertain economic outlook in the latter, there's understandably been a drop in demand.
In response, United Airlines has taken the rare step of suspending select flights to both cities — just as the carrier recently did with flights to India (which are due to resume next month). The following flights will be suspended:
- Chicago (ORD)-Hong Kong (HKG) — daily flight suspended beginning September 8, 2019
- Newark (EWR)-Buenos Aires (EZE) — daily flight suspended beginning October 26, 2019
United will continue to operate the following flights to both markets, giving Chicago and Newark passengers an opportunity to rebook onto connecting flights, instead:
- Newark (EWR)-Hong Kong (HKG) — once daily
- San Francisco (SFO)-Hong Kong (HKG) — once daily (moves to 2x daily on October 26, 2019)
- Houston (IAH)-Buenos Aires (EZE) — once daily
Chicago is more likely to serve as a connecting point for Hong Kong-bound flyers, while Newark and San Francisco have more origin and destination traffic. As a result, connecting Chicago passengers should be accommodated through EWR and SFO without much impact.
Ordinarily, these flights would require two aircraft each, given the length of the journey to and from Hong Kong and the night on the ground in Buenos Aires, but in both cases, United has been able to assign these 777s and 767s to flights to Europe as well, in an effort to maximize utilization.
The HKG and EZE suspension leaves the carrier with two extra wide-bodies during this suspension, which will likely be used for domestic flights, including premium transcons, helping free up aircraft to operate flights that would otherwise be affected by the 737 MAX grounding, instead.

Lloyd A. Fry Roofing Co. v. Air Pollution Variance Bd.
ELR Citation: 6 ELR 20754
Nos. No. 27093, 553 P.2d 800/191 Colo. 463, (Colo., 08/23/1976)
The Colorado Supreme Court vacates most of the $41,500 civil penalty levied against plaintiff but upholds an injunction prohibiting plaintiff from operating its plant without installing air pollution control devices. The civil penalties assessed for violations of air pollution control standards, challenged by plaintiff in this proceeding, are not criminal in nature, in view of the change in the statute by the legislature from criminal to civil penalties. In addition, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in fixing the amount of the penalty. The trier of fact has broad discretion to accept the testimony of inspectors using the visual opacity test, the legal validity of which is well-established. Since the injunction in question was sought pursuant to a statute and on behalf of the public, the defendant need not show irreparable injury. Defendant's use of weather charts and relative humidity readings is not inadmissible hearsay evidence. Finally, plaintiff has not shown that it has been the subject of a systematic scheme of selective enforcement of the law. Relying on a companion case, Air Pollution Variance Bd. v. Western Alfalfa Corp., 6 ELR 20752, the court finds that only six of 83 inspections were followed by notice sufficient under due process requirements to advise the plaintiff that an inspection had just occurred. Accordingly, the trial court on remand may assess civil penalties only for those properly-noticed inspections, although these violations support retention of the injunction.
A dissent argues that, in view of the substantially reduced number of violations, the trial court should be allowed to rule again on the issuance of the injunction.

Employment standards legislation provides for a variety of protected periods of leave. These include
- Pregnancy and parental
- Personal emergency
- Family medical
- Family caregiver
- Critically ill child care
- Organ donor
- Crime-related child death or disappearance
- Military reservist
The types of leave available change often, so it is important to keep up to date; you may have rights you didn't even know about! That said, employees must understand their obligations with respect to qualifying for and taking leave.
There are rules that apply to these leaves in order to protect employees, such as the general obligation to be returned to your pre-leave job and not suffer any adverse consequences for taking leave. There are also rules regarding the process, such as when you have to advise your employer and what to do if you want to end your leave early.
How We Can Help You
If you take parental leave, can your employer refuse to let you come back?
What if you decide to cut your leave short?
Do you have to speak to your employer while you are off?
Are you entitled to leave for reasons not covered in employment standards legislation?
We will advise you and answer all of your questions on these complicated legal issues. This will help to ensure that you don't do anything to compromise your rights. It will also help to ensure that if your employer breaches your rights, you will know what to do. Our lawyers have the knowledge and experience to address these situations, provide strategic and cost-effective advice, and represent you in order to enforce your rights.
Pregnancy and Parental Leaves
Questions often arise during or after pregnancy and parental leave. How much time can you take? Can you split the parental leave with your partner? What if the company says it has replaced you?
If you feel that your rights are being violated or you are facing a related legal issue, it is imperative to seek legal advice.
Rudner Law lawyers have the knowledge and experience to:
- address pregnancy and parental leaves,
- provide strategic and cost-effective advice, and
- represent you in order to enforce your rights.
Medical /Disability Leaves
Employers must provide medical or disability leave to an employee who provides appropriate medical documentation justifying such a need. Employees may be entitled to:
- short-term or long-term disability benefits,
- leave to provide care and support to family members, and
- other forms of accommodation.
Personal Emergency Leaves
When personal illness, injury or urgent medical emergencies arise related to you or a family member, the opportunity exists for you to request a leave of absence. It allows you time and energy away from the workplace to focus on these issues.
Employees are entitled to take up to 10 days each calendar year for the purposes of:
- personal illness,
- injury,
- medical emergency, or for
- the death, illness, injury or medical emergency or urgent matter concerning certain family members.
This unpaid, job-protected personal emergency leave is available to those working for employers with at least 50 employees.
We can help you understand the law, advising you of the privileges offered to you as an employee.

How to Make a Rocking Chair Cushion That Has Ties
Plain wooden rockers are traditional, classic, and...uncomfortable. Making a new cushion is not at all difficult and it allows you to choose the exact size, color and fabric that best suits your style, taste and budget. Sewing ties on the cushion helps keep it from sliding around on the rocker's seat, and it isn't hard to do.
Place a piece of pattern paper on the seat of your rocker. Trace around the edges of the rocker with a marker. This doesn't have to be exact -- just get it as close as you can.
Draw a second line 2 1/2 inches outside of your first one. Use a measuring tape to be accurate.
Fold your fabric in half, right side to right side. Pin the pattern to the fabric. Cut your pattern out, following the outer line.
Cut two strips of fabric that are each 1/2 inch wide and 12 inches long.
Fold the short ends of the two fabric strips under -- wrong side to wrong side -- 1/4 inch. Sew the folds down along the raw edge.
Fold the fabric strips in half, right side to right side, along their length. Sew a seam along the length, 1/4 inch from the raw edge. Turn the ties right side out. Sew the short ends closed.
Remove the pattern from the fabric. Separate the pieces from each other, leaving one piece printed side up on your work surface.
Fold the ties in half. Lay each tie so that the fold is sitting on a rear corner of the fabric with the loose ends lying in the center of the fabric. Place the second piece of fabric printed side down on top of the ties and the first piece of fabric. Pin the ties and the edges of the fabric in place.
Sew a seam around the right, front and left sides of the fabric, reinforcing the ties by reversing over them once. Sew one-quarter of the way in from each corner of the rear side. This leaves you an opening to slip your upholstery foam through.
Turn the fabric right side out. You should have a pair of ties dangling from each rear corner of the cushion.
Roll your upholstery foam into a tight tube, and coax it through the opening in the cushion cover. Flatten it out with both hands.
Sew the opening closed with a blind stitch using a needle and thread.
Things Needed
- Pattern paper
- Marker
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Scissors
- Fabric
- Straight pins
- Upholstery foam, 2 inches thick
- Never place your cushion on the rocking chair without one last check for stray pins.
- Use cording or grosgrain ribbon for the ties to give your cushion a bit of extra pop.

Brilliant! Well done! I remembered your Windows worked, but I obviously forgot about digging into the repository separately. My apologies.Quite simple old chap I just went to Linux Mint repositories and down loaded from there.
Further to your comment I still access the web through Vindows, mayhap you have forgotten that.
But, sad to say, your battle with Wine is not over... unless you have more tricks up your sleeve. I followed your lead and downloaded wine-stable-amd64.deb from the repository. Double-clicking the file opens it up with Gdebi to process the installation.... but wait, you are still in "dependency" hell. Gdebi says you need 4 more files to make the Wine installation work, and these files are not in the repository (not by the names given by Gdebi).
Sadly, Gdebi does not tell you where to go get them... but it should go get them on its own if it were on the internet. This is a vicious circle, of course. I did a quick look and can find something similar in Ubuntu repositories, but not sure yet if this will work. And I did not find everything needed, so more looking is required.
The Linux Mint repository had a Wine "installer" file too, but that needed 181 dependencies. Yikes!
This should not be so hard.

In the aftermath of last year's Leinster final defeat to Kilkenny, it would be wrong to say Micheál Donoghue's Galway were indifferent to Ger Loughnane's charge that they had been gutless, but fair to say they gave greater credence to the fact they had gone goalless.
A look at the video and stats of that game showed that their tackle count had been the second-highest by any side in the championship that year – Kilkenny's on the same day just happened to be the highest. But something else they identified was how few goal chances they'd created.
Even Cathal Mannion, their best player on the day with five points from play, had a couple of chances to take his man on and drive for goal but declined. Galway had actually been the highest goal-scoring team in the country in championship hurling since 2014, averaging 2.2 goals a game, marginally ahead of even Tipperary and Kilkenny on two goals apiece, and well ahead of the fourth-placed team, Limerick, on 1.4. As good as their preparations for that Leinster final had been, Galway reflected that they had under-emphasised going for goals and the team's excellence in that department.
For their next day out, an All-Ireland quarter-final against league champions Clare, they had a specific target – create at least two goals chances in the opening 10 minutes of each half and nail at least one of them.
Just minutes into that clash down in Thurles, Cathal Mannion won a ball at the apex point of the Clare D and turned towards goal. The safe – and seemingly sensible – option was to take his own point but Mannion looked to offload to a colleague outside him cutting in on goal, only for his pass to be intercepted. In another setup or on another day he could have been castigated for not taking his point but afterwards the Galway management applauded Mannion for his boldness. He had signalled an intent which radiated to his teammates. Minutes later Conor Cooney found the net, Galway were away and never looked back.
Even when they were seven points ahead at half-time they were relentless. The target was again to look for a goal in the opening minutes of the second half. Ten seconds in they already had it. From the throw-in, David Burke ran right through an unsettled Clare defence to offload to Joe Canning to double to the net.
The next day against Tipperary in the All-Ireland semi-final, they would repeat that trick, Conor Cooney and Joe Cooney each striking for goal within 12 minutes of each throw-in. That mindset was still prevalent in this year's league final in which they built on a fine first-half lead of six points by striking for three goals upon the resumption.
But an odd thing has happened in the championship. After again hitting the two-goal mark in the opening game against Dublin, they haven't scored a single goal. In the last three games they've relied totally on points. Points alone have sufficed.
It's hard to know if there has been less emphasis on scoring goals – Conor Cooney's effort straight upon the resumption the last day against Tipperary which flashed just wide of Darren Gleeson's left post hints that they may be looking to recapture some of the mindset of late summer last year. But there is certainly less of an emphasis – or at least a reliance – on a goal from Joe Canning.
In the league he was banging them in with the usual regularity; on his first two days back off the bench after a layoff recovering from the leg injury which finished his involvement in last year's All-Ireland semi-final, he banged a goal to the net each time. Should Galway go on to win this All-Ireland, the pivotal moment in their season could well be seen as the 10-point comeback against Waterford in the league quarter-final and probably the biggest turning point in that game was Canning's goal from a penalty. But that's been his last goal all year. His goal against Clare in Thurles over 13 months ago is his last in the championship.
In fact just as he's on the precipice of winning his first-ever All Ireland at the 10th attempt, he's also on the verge of going his first-ever championship without scoring a goal. Over 45 championship games Canning has found the net 25 times – but not one of those has come this year.
Why? Because his role has changed. In last year's Leinster final he cut a subdued figure in at full-forward where he had been stationed for most of his senior career. After sitting down with Micheál Donoghue it was decided that the next day out against Clare he would float between centre-forward and midfield where he's pretty much operated from ever since. Instead of being confined inside, he has room to roam. Instead of resorting to the usual easy out of ballooning ball in on top of Joe, the rest of the team are now inclined to play Donoghue's preferred way all along, through the lines, and with it, go through Joe. Instead of having to be a finisher a la Michael Jordan, he gets to be more of a creator like Magic Johnson, Dalglish more than Rush.
This shift has also coincided with – or, more likely, accelerated and facilitated – the maturity of Conor Whelan and the reliability of Conor Cooney. This summer Canning has still chipped in every day with a steady two points from play, to go along with his usual six from deadballs, but Whelan and Cooney are averaging twice more from play, with 4.0 points per game apiece.
And in case you think four games is too small a sample size, well, fine, throw in the knockout stages of the league and Whelan's remains pretty much the same, on 3.8ppg, while Cooney's actually increases to 4.7. It means that for the first season since he broke onto the scene back in 2008, Canning isn't – or doesn't have to be – one of Galway's two leading scorers from play.
With Joe having to score less from play, it means Galway are scoring more. This summer they're averaging 29.5 points a game, more than any other team over 70 minutes (Tipperary were next, on 29.2, with Waterford on 26.8). The same held for the league; even if you remove games against Kerry and Offaly, and they were still racking up an average of 27.8 ppg; Tipp were next on 26.4 while Waterford were well back on 21.0.
Probably the most important development of all though for Galway is how tighter at the back they've become over the last 15 months. This year they've coughed up a goal in every championship game – but never more than a goal. The tallies of their opponents are strikingly similar: 1-17, 1-11, 1-17, 1-18. That's an average of 1-16 a game, less than any other team in the championship; Waterford, as it happened, are next best, conceding 19.8 a game (fellow All Ireland semi-finalists Tipp gave up 23.4, Cork 25.3).
And again, that's just consistent with Galway's league form, where they averaged just 18.8 a game, the best in the country. Only once all year have they coughed up two goals in a game.
That happened to be against Waterford, in the league quarter-final. If Derek McGrath's men are to win tomorrow, they'll probably need to hit the two-goal mark again or else become the first team since Wexford back in February to hit more than 20 points against this Galway side.
The other day when David Collins was asked for a scoreline prediction, the former Galway captain went for Galway 0-23 Waterford 0-19. You could see his logic. Galway don't concede many goals. Nowadays they don't score many either, but they tend to outpoint teams, rarely conceding more than 19 at their end.
Or maybe this is the day Canning finds the net again. In his six previous national finals, league or championship, he's found the net in four of them. When Galway needed scores the last day against Tipp, it was Canning who provided them, their final five points of the match, three of them from play. It's happened before where a team learns to become less dependent on their star man for scores, only to get the best of both worlds with him coming back to the fore on the biggest stage of all: Kerry with Maurice Fitzgerald in 2000, Tyrone in 2005 with Peter Canavan and that goal he caressed inside Diarmuid Murphy's right post.
Galway can still rely on Canning. But beauty for them is they're no longer reliant on him.

PINEHURST, N.C. -- The heart of the North Carolina Sandhills markets itself as the "Home of American Golf."
Considering its history, deep roster of golf courses and intimate connection to Donald Ross, the Pinehurst-Southern Pines corridor certainly rates as one of the world's top golf destinations. But where should you play?
Put these five golf courses on your bucket list. Playing Pinehurst No. 2 won't be an option during the back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open in June 2014, but Pinehurst No. 7 or Pinehurst No. 8 are no sorry substitutes if you're in town at that time.
Architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw tastefully bowed to history during their incredible restoration in 2011. Using old aerial photos from the nearby Tufts Archives as their guide, they replaced 26 acres of rough with sandy, hardpan waste areas filled with pine needles and hand-planted wiregrass, creating a more visually stimulating, strategic course ready for the two major championships. Eight new tees added less than 100 yards in length, although one will transform the signature par-4 fifth hole into an epic par 5 for the men's Open. The inverted saucer greens -- Pinehurst No. 2's signature -- remain as perplexing and dangerous as ever.
This Donald Ross gem has already hosted the 1999 and 2005 U.S. Opens, the 1991 and 1992 Tour Championships, the 1951 Ryder Cup, the 1938 PGA Championship and countless prestigious amateur events. The best might be yet to come.
It's certainly up for debate whether Tom Fazio's redone No. 4 Course is the second-best course at the resort. Pinehurst No. 8, a Fazio course that opened in 1996 to commemorate Pinehurst's centennial year, certainly deserves a lot of attention. The 7,117-yard No. 4 Course gets my nod because it's so different from others. Fazio kept the spirit of the Ross greens intact, with their false fronts and subtle ridges, but then sprinkled in menacing pot bunkers throughout the routing. Give him bonus points for such stylistic flair. The large lake introduced at the par-5 13th hole and the dangerous par-3 14th hole kick-start an epic finishing romp.
Mid Pines Golf Club also returned to its roots after a recent restoration. The original Ross routing dating to 1921 reopened in August 2013 -- to rave reviews. Architect Kyle Franz used aerial photos as a blueprint to uncover sandy native areas lining its fairways. Greens that had shrunk over time were restored to their original sizes and redone with Bermuda grass. Bunkers were renovated or removed. Subtleties were recaptured. The graceful Georgian-style Inn, a haven of Southern hospitality, frames the final green. Pine Needles/Mid Pines President Kelly Miller said the new version might play a bit tougher than the old one.
"You need to be on the proper side of fairway for a good shot and an angle," he said. "With the new Bermuda greens, you can't fly it and stop it. It is more of a ground game. It is more the way the game was played years ago."
Another Ross classic dating to 1928, Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club has hosted three U.S. Women's Opens. The quality of the winners -- Annika Sorenstam (1996), Karrie Webb (2001) and Cristie Kerr (2007) -- certainly matches the merits of the 7,015-yard course. Big-hitters can challenge the towering trees protecting the doglegs but only at their peril. Its classic look complements Mid Pines.
"We didn't want them both to look the same. It's why there are a lot of different flavors of ice cream," Miller said. "We've got some longtime guests who say, 'We like Pine Needles, but it's no Mid Pines.' Others say, 'Mid Pines is nice, but it's no Pine Needles.' That's pretty neat. Having two different looks to us is really a plus."
Coore and Crenshaw also worked magic at the Dormie Club in nearby West End. There are plans for this timeless-looking treasure to eventually go fully private, so play it while you can. Walkers can easily manage the 100 feet of elevation on this secluded and sprawling 307 acres of land. Taking a caddie (or forecaddie) will certainly enhance an exclusive experience. All the sand on the 6,883-yard course was designed as waste bunkers.

25 Reasons Library Makerspaces Are a Good Thing!
From the overwhelming response we received to our Makerspace Survey, it's clear that makerspaces are top-of-mind for many librarians and educators, be it in public, school or academic libraries.
From fostering critical thinking skills to providing access to technology to delivering new and relevant services for your community, makerspaces are proving to be an invaluable. Here are just some of the benefits our respondents cited:
- Low-income students have access to material that will spark their creativity and expose them to STEM-related topics.
- There are many students who wouldn't have access to these types of supplies at home or have the financial means to purchase them. Having these resources available in the makerspace means that students can use library materials and be able to complete their school assignments. We've also found teachers have been more flexible in allowing students various ways to show what they know. As a result, we are regularly WOW-ed by the creativity our students display.
- We are seeing some of our academically low students create and build the best creations. We have been so impressed by that takeaway. We knew it would happen, but to SEE it happen has been awesome.
- Maker activities expose students to a wide variety of activities that can spark interest, creativity and, hopefully, identify and awaken a hidden passion that will stay with them through the coming years.
- We believe the biggest benefit of having maker activities will be enhanced student learning and creativity in the STEAM areas of study. Engaging students with hands-on learning experiences will help our school to prepare students for college and careers in these fields.
- I believe the biggest benefit of having maker activities available is that it gives students the opportunity to create something with their hands. It also gives them the opportunity to use valuable critical thinking skills to solve a problem. I also like that there isn't a right or wrong way to do something; it's just a time for them to come in and create.
- I feel that students learn best when they experience things rather than read about them. When we give them the power to imagine how things can work and give them the tools/materials to help facilitate that learning, they can become so much more engaged in school and invested in their own learning.
- It allows children to expand their minds and creativity. It is a way for students with all different abilities and learning styles to experiment, try, learn and create at their own pace and to problem-solve as they go along. I feel there are so many benefits. Not all individuals are able to learn from books; we NEED these hands-on opportunities for students to tinker and explore.
- I think the students are engaged in problem-solving with maker activities. They are able to use the time to work collaboratively and solve problems using real-life scenarios. In makerspaces, students can apply knowledge and research from all content areas and reach standards in all areas of Common Core.
Makerspaces for the Win!
Kids and adults alike are going to love using your makerspace! Explore engaging tools for your maker crowd.
- In a small, rural community with poor Internet access, I feel that having tools available for kids and teens will enrich their lives through exposure and experimentation.
- The biggest benefit of the makerspace is getting technology in the hands of the community, which otherwise would not have access to it. With the technology divide widening in the nation, makerspaces are inspiring members in the community to create and familiarize themselves with next-century technology.
- I think the [maker] events reach students who need something different to do with their after-school time, or students who are sometimes a bit lonely and don't belong to other larger groups in our school. These students feel they are welcome at makerspace, and because our events are more of the "pop-up" nature, they can come when it works for their families.
- We are a low-income community sandwiched among million dollar communities, and our teens do not have access to computers at home or maker tools at school. Because of this, they are unable to compete with their neighbors. Providing a free makerspace opens up worlds of opportunities, education and skills.
- We have a large low-income youth population that stays at the library for hours unsupervised. By offering the makerspace cart, we can offer them more educational and creative activities.
- Families get to work out building processes together; I've noticed that families that are quiet when they enter will often be chatting about all sorts of things after they've participated in one of the activities.
- Our community members are expanding their learning into new realms! Making allows for hands-on learning and a deeper understanding of STEM concepts when patrons can experience them personally.
- [Makerspaces] encourage creativity and promote the library as an ever-changing space of learning and exploration rather than just a building for dusty old books.
- One more reason to come to the library—we are a community center, not just for books. Many of our patrons have talents that they want to share. The library is an awesome place to share your talent.
- It allows my teens to spend out-of-school time creating and discussing and exploring their world.
- The vocabulary building through the use of the projects is awesome, as are the looks of amazement when the project "works."
In the weeks ahead, we'll be sharing more of the results from the Makerspace Survey and offering up additional advice and inspiration shared by your peers.
