DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) What started with one good round has taken Jason Allred places he never imagined.
He shot 66 to qualify for the Northern Trust Open, and then parlayed that into a 64 in the second round at Riviera that carried him to a tie for third and more money ($388,600) than the 34-year-old had made in his entire PGA Tour career.
Allred made the most of his most recent chance. He was given a sponsor's exemption to the Memorial, shot 68 in the second round to make the cut and then closed with a 66 to tie for 15th and pick up another six-figure check.
''It's been such a fun journey the last couple of months,'' Allred said. ''If you sat me down at the start of the year and said, `This is what's going to happen,' on the one hand I would have thought you were crazy. But at the same time, all along I've believed in my ability to do this. The thing is, I'm learning to believe in it more, which is fun.''
Allred played only two full years on the PGA Tour out of Pepperdine, the last time in 2008. Why it took him until 34 to figure it out can be explained in one word - golf.
This is not a guy who takes these chances for granted.
He still remembers where he was when tournament director Dan Sullivan called him on the Saturday night before the Memorial to offer him the spot. And he was at Muirfield Village deep into every evening during the tournament, enjoying the moment with his family. His third child was born a week after his tie for third at Riviera.
His letters requesting an exemption are not run of the mill.
''He wrote a nice, compelling, personal letter to the exemption committee,'' Sullivan said. ''And that stuck with them.''
Allred said he sent an email that included links to stories about his week at Riviera, along with photos of his family to give a glimpse of his life off the golf course, and then he followed that with a handwritten note.
''Just try to let them know how much I love this game,'' Allred said. ''We try to be a blessing to others, to engage the fans and really enjoy it.''
The season is getting short. There are only six tournaments remaining where Allred can hope for an exemption. He is the equivalent of 145th in the FedEx Cup standings. If he could get equal points to No. 125 before the playoffs, he would have his tour card. If nothing else, he is assured a spot in the four-tournament Web.com Tour Finals.
''That is such a bonus,'' Allred said. ''I feel like if you're playing well in four tournaments, you'll have a chance.''
A BOOST TO ARNIE AND JACK: The PGA Tour is honoring two of its most important players - Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus - by making their tournaments a little more meaningful in what has become a crowded golf schedule.
In a resolution approved at the last policy board meeting, winners of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and the Memorial will received a three-year exemption, instead of the two-year exemption from other PGA Tour events.
The tour also is discussing whether to allow the prize money at their events to be the highest this side of a major, World Golf Championship or The Players Championship.
Palmer and Nicklaus, along with a half-century of star power in golf, led the move in the late 1960s to break away from the PGA of America and form what is now the PGA Tour. Palmer bought Bay Hill in the late 1970s, and it has become a staple on the Florida swing. Nicklaus started his tournament at Muirfield Village in 1976.
In some respects, the tour is acknowledging how difficult it is for tournaments to distinguish themselves. In the last 15 years, the PGA Tour has added four WGCs and three FedEx Cup playoff events to the schedule.
''This was more our desire to recognize two iconic figures who started and operate two world-class tournaments that for decades were linchpins on our schedule,'' said Andy Pazder, the tour's chief of operations. ''We wanted to make sure their place on the tour calendar, as far as being a high-caliber, world-class event, was secure for well into the future.''
It was unlikely the Byron Nelson Championship would get the same treatment. That event was around for two decades in Dallas until Nelson's name was attached to it.
ANOTHER US OPEN: Few players are as experienced at U.S. Open qualifying than Kevin Sutherland. The 49-year-old from Sacramento, California, qualified for the eighth time in the U.S. Open (he was exempt twice), even though he hasn't played a PGA Tour event since last August.
''You play golf, and when you get done, you see where you are,'' Sutherland said Tuesday after qualifying in San Francisco.
Sutherland has played sparingly since a neck injury. A former World Golf Championship winner (Match Play), he has asked for only one exemption in his career, at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-am. He didn't get it. Instead, Sutherland drove down to Monterey as the sixth alternate and played a practice round at Spyglass Hill with longtime friend Paul Goydos.
Oddly enough, the first exemption he received was a few weeks ago from the USGA - to the U.S. Senior Open at Oak Tree. Sutherland turns 50 on July 4. He would have qualified on his own through career money, except the cutoff for the exemption was before he turned 50. The USGA asked him to write a letter asking for an exemption.
''I think they gave it more because it was a technicality than it was me,'' Sutherland said.
PADRAIG'S ROLE: Padraig Harrington and Paul McGinley, longtime friends and World Cup partners for Ireland, had dinner in McGinley's home in London recently and covered just about every subject but one - the Ryder Cup.
McGinley is Europe's captain for the September matches in Scotland. Harrington has fallen out of the world 200 and last played in the Ryder Cup in 2010 as a captain's pick. He would seem to be an ideal vice captain.
''He'd never bring it up. I'd never bring it up,'' Harrington told Greg Allen of RTE radio in Ireland. ''Anyway, I would rather him be completely neutral when it comes to something like that.''
Harrington, however, left no doubt he'd take the job.
''I hope to be a Ryder Cup captain myself someday, and I see being a vice captain as part of the learning curve for that,'' he said.
DIVOTS: Patrick Rodgers is trying to make the most with whatever starts he can get on the PGA Tour. That's why he turned down an exemption into 36-hole sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open, because he would have had to play the U.S. Open as a pro, and the Stanford star needs as much money (FedEx Cup points) as possible. Alas, the strategy didn't work when Rodgers didn't make it out of local qualifying. He makes his pro debut at the Travelers Championship a week after the U.S. Open. ... Pinehurst Resort & Country Club has acquired National Golf Club, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus and first opened in 1989. It will be renamed Pinehurst No. 9 and will be available to resort guests in July. ... Nick Faldo plans to play the Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen a week before the British Open at Royal Liverpool. ... The BMW Championship will return to Conway Farms north of Chicago in 2015.
STAT OF THE WEEK: In his last three PGA Tour events, Rory McIlroy is a combined 12 over par in the second round, and 35 under in the other three rounds.
FINAL WORD: ''I don't think age was a factor. I think desire was a factor.'' - Jack Nicklaus, going five years without a major from 41 until 46.

Former Penn State coach back in court, hopes to prove defense wasn't given enough time to prepare for trial
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is expected to appear in a Pennsylvania courtroom Thursday for a hearing about whether his lawyers had enough time to prepare for trial.
The proceeding in Bellefonte is expected to last less than two hours. The topic is a set of legal challenges filed by his lawyers over how he was tried and convicted, including their claim that a deluge of prosecution materials swamped the defense.
Judge John Cleland issued an order last week for county deputies to bring Sandusky to the hearing. He's serving a prison sentence after being convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
The 68-year-old Sandusky spent decades as an assistant to the late head coach Joe Paterno. He maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.

Lafourche Parish officials are repairing two pump stations to help protect against future rain flooding in the Raceland area.
Lafourche Parish officials are repairing two pump stations to help protect against future rain flooding in the Raceland area.
The parish will be rebuilding Cyprien Pump Station, which services the low-lying area south of La. 1 and west of La. 182. Work will also be done on the Crest Pump Station on Crest Road. That station serves the area bounded by La. 90, La. 182 and La. 652.
The combined cost of the two projects is $146,758.
Low-lying sections of Raceland have experienced severe flooding in the past during prolonged periods of rain.
More than 100 homes in the Alidore community in Raceland were damaged in December 2009 when more than 10 inches fell over two days. The ground was already saturated because of a rain-filled month that broke records in parts of south Louisiana.
Dupre Brothers Construction of Houma will rebuild the heavy support elements of the Cyprien Pumping station for $117,200. In addition, the Lafourche Parish Department of Public Works will rebuild the roof on the station and repair one of the three pumps there.
"Three temporary portable pumps, on loan from Plaquemines Parish, will be in place while the Cyprien station is undergoing reconstruction," said Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph. "This precautionary plan is intended to provide protection until the station is back in service."
Lafourche Parish Councilman John Arnold said rebuilding the pumping station is vital to help prevent flooding in the community during heavy rainfall.
"If we don't have it, it's not going to be able to pump out all that water during a traumatic rainstorm," Arnold said. "It's definitely critical to our drainage situation in Bayou Blue."
The engineering study for the project was done by All South Consulting Engineers of Metairie. The bids for work on the pumping station were advertised in February and awarded in April.
Construction should be completed by June 15.
Arnold also said a new pump at the Crest Station on the eastern side of La. 182 will improve drainage conditions within his district. The parish department of public works is purchasing a new 255 horsepower diesel engine for the station at a cost of $29,440.
"I think if we had that pumping station, it would definitely improve the removal of water during heavy rainfall, especially if our drainage ditches are free of debris," Arnold said.
The new pump should be installed by June 1.

Tristan MacManus Discusses DWTS And More, Ballroom With A Twist Pictures Including Emma Slater
What a fabulous interview with Tristan MacManus by MacManiacs.org. Tristan answers questions about Dancing With The Stars, the Holland America Dancing With The Stars At Sea Cruise, Dirty Dancing The Musical, Ballroom With A Twist, and more. Below are a couple of takes including his thoughts about the orchestra being let go. Be sure to visit the link for more. A great weekend read!! Instagram below is of Tristan and Gina Glocksen. Currently they are in Ft. Collins, Colorado doing "Ballroom With A Twist" which one fan reports was a "great show" Thursday night. Also below is a picture from Emma Slater from behind the scenes of "Ballroom With A Twist" in Ft. Collins.
We've recently learned that Harold Wheeler and his orchestra as well as the singers will not return for Season 18. Do you have any special memories of working with them? What did you enjoy most? What will you miss the most?
Yeah, I just read that the other day, and I have reached out to a few of the singers who I really like. It's such a shame and I'm disappointed but I don't know the reasons behind it and won't really have an opinion on the new structure until we see or hear how it's gonna play out. I think the singers and band are as big a part of the show as the dancers and celebrities and I think it will be a huge loss but unfortunately, just like us, everyone and every idea is replaceable. I hope that everyone moves on to bigger and better things and maybe it's a blessing in disguise for some. Time will tell, I guess.
You were Dance Captain for Dirty Dancing. That must have a been a lot of responsibility and likely gave you a broader perspective as to what overall production entails. Would you tell us what that job was like and what responsibilities you had?
Dirty Dancing was great craic. I was the Ballroom Dance Captain so I was supposed to be teaching the ensemble and actors how to do the ballroom. I got to help some but not as much as I would have liked and I wasn't allowed to make any changes (which annoyed me) to choreography. Some of the actors had been in the show a few years so they did what they did and left it at that. I would have liked to re-choreograph it to suit everyone in it better. Dirty Dancing The Musical is the same as the movie; you don't change lines and you don't change anything….at all – haha. The cast were the best people I ever met. We honestly all got on great with each other so I miss it a lot sometimes and I'm am still in touch with the majority of them. I was more responsible for the morale in the end – haha. Seriously though I had to clean numbers and if someone was sick I had to make sure the swings (covers) knew where to be and what to do.
In one of your venues for Ballroom With a Twist last summer you performed on a circular stage. How did you have to adapt the dancing for that?
Yeah. It was tough enough but great though. I like having everyone all around but you always have your back to somebody. It was tough because it was so dark and there was only one ramp exit off the stage so when you have been spinning and turning to keep everyone involved for the whole dance finding the way off in the dark was very amusing. We tried to catch each other out and send someone off to the far end until the lights came back on. Haha!
Picture I sent to @billengvall tonight during my show with @TristanMacManus 😀 pic.twitter.com/ziaS6hYAsh

text: Class of 2015 OL Steven Gonzalez (6-5 310) of Union City, NJ named USC and Rutgers as his early leaders. "I don't have any favorites right now but I would say that of the schools that have offered me, I like South Carolina and Rutgers," he said. The offensive lineman said there are several factors that led to USC being one of his top schools but is most impressed by one specific thing. "They were one of the first schools to offer me," said Gonzalez. "I didn't really know they were that interested in me until they offered. It's a great school and they win a lot of games." Gonzalez has yet to visit the Gamecocks but plans to do so in the near future. "They invited me down for a camp a couple of weeks ago but it was a little too late for me to make plans," he said. "I would love to go down there for a game or at least an unofficial visit very soon." USC, Rutgers, Louisville, Boston College, Virginia, UMass and Syracuse have offered with interest coming from Miami, Florida State, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State and Notre Dame among others. He did camp at Rutgers and Miami this summer and took a visit to Penn State. "(USC) is a prestigious program and they have a great coach in Steve Spurrier," added Gonzalez. "I hear the campus is beautiful and they play in the SEC." He has plans to attend games at Rutgers and Penn State this season.

GOP says health care repeal also stops a tax
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans, stung by the Supreme Court decision upholding President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, are seizing on one wrinkle to bolster their election-year case for repeal -- the court's judgment that the penalty for failing to get insurance is a tax.
The House has voted more than 30 times to scrap, defund or undercut the law since Obama signed it in March 2010, political moves that went nowhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Republican opponents cast the law as government overreach, socialized medicine and an unaffordable approach to the nation's system of health care.
Two weeks after the conservative-led court's ruling, the House GOP leadership pushed for another symbolic repeal vote on Wednesday with a fresh argument. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion that the law was constitutional because it imposes a tax -- not a penalty -- on people who refuse to buy insurance. Republicans who repeatedly pressed for repeal said a "yes" vote would not only overturn the law but spare some 20 million Americans from an unnecessary tax.
The law's onerous burdens and taxes, Republicans complained, were stifling small businesses now reluctant to hire because of the additional expenses. This represented a clear obstacle to the country's economic recovery.
They also pointed out that Obama had promised not to raise taxes on the middle class, and the fee for failing to get insurance would do just that.
"As the Supreme Court ruled, the cornerstone of the Democrats' health care law, the individual mandate, is a massive tax," said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., during the daylong debate Tuesday. "This is a major tax with major implications. Democrats have argued that the individual mandate was necessary to improve the nation's health. So what's next? Will they require you to purchase low-fat or low-salt foods or pay a tax because they think it's good for you?"
Democrats countered that the penalty for not buying insurance was directed at people who could afford it.
"Otherwise you're passing the cost on to us," said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. "You're a freeloader. The Republicans are glorifying freeloaders."
Under the law, Americans who don't get qualified health insurance will be required to pay the penalty -- or tax -- starting for the 2014 tax year, unless they are exempt because of low income, religious beliefs or because they are members of American Indian tribes. The penalty will be fully phased in by 2016, when it will be $695 for each uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater, up to $12,500.
Democrats circulated a memorandum with a series of quotes from likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in which he defends the so-called individual mandate of the Massachusetts' health care law that he secured as governor. Obama's law was closely modeled on the universal-coverage plan that Romney instituted in his state. That plan penalized people who failed to comply with the requirement to buy insurance, just like the Obama overhaul will do.
Romney, the Democrats pointed out, said in June 2005 that "everyone must either become insured or maintain adequate savings to cover their medical expenses. We cannot expect some citizens to pay for others who can afford to pay some or all of their own way."
Democrats also argued that the two days of debate and vote were a waste of time because the Democratic-led Senate wouldn't vote for repeal, the Supreme Court had rendered its judgment and voters want Congress to focus on more pressing issues such as the sluggish economy.
"As a psychiatrist, I'm qualified to say this," McDermott said. "One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The game is over. The referee, John Roberts, blew the whistle. It's over, guys."
Although the outcome isn't in doubt, the vote provides plenty of election-year fodder, energizing the political base and helping to attract campaign dollars. House Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said a number of Democrats would join Republicans in voting to repeal the law.
In fact, many of the Democrats who backed the overhaul lost their seats in the 2010 elections. Those who are left would be open to charges of flip-flopping if they switch their votes.
The health care law was Obama's signature domestic achievement, but it remains unpopular and divisive among the public according to opinion polls. Democrats argued that erasing the law would eliminate the more popular individual elements -- a guarantee on coverage for those with pre-existing medical conditions, a requirement allowing children up to age 26 to remain on their parents' coverage and the reduction of seniors' Medicare prescription drug costs by closing the "doughnut hole" coverage gap.
Republicans insisted they were keeping a promise with Americans to repeal the law.
"This law epitomizes Washington at its very worst: intrusive mandates, higher costs, red tape, unaffordable spending, taxes on employers and families and control of personal health care decisions by boards, bureaus and agencies in Washington," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Aside from the criticism and the calls for "repeal and replace," the GOP did not offer any specific alternative to Obama's law.

I was sitting here this morning, eating my breakfast, and I have to say that eating Fage greek yogurt (2%) and honey is a very sensual experience. The drizzling of the honey into the cup of creamy, dense yogurt , the golden streams of sticky goodness...wow! So I wanted to know dear panel...what foods do you find sexy? What are you gonna cook for St. Valentine's day? Do you and your lovey have a meal that just sends you beyond distraction? Please share.
This one is a little odd, but for me: bliss! I like making and eating home-made corn tortillas made with really Great masa harina. There's something about the sweet summery smell of the masa which I find intoxicating.
mmmm sounds good. I never attempted making my own, but a good handmade tortilla is really tasty with a bit of cheese sprinkled on it just as it cools. Maybe a hint of cilantro minced. See I can go there too!
A while ago I heard on CNN was that men are aroused by the smell of freshly baked bread. Which I could see fitting in with the fresh tortilla, both smell really amazing fresh.
But I doubt I will be baking bread on Saturday. Instead I think I will borrow an oven and bake a small chocolate cake maybe even some petit fours, I am kind of picturing some almond and raspberry garnishes on top of a nice chocolate ganache.
I also came across this article that is somewhat timely: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/12/menu.mood/index.html
No-one special so nothing special! ^_^
I was going to make pancakes, but I probably won't wake up in time. Btw, wisdom goddess born, I really want to try that Fage yogurt with honey. They sell it in my local supermarket but it's murderously expensive T.T I just get the Polish brand greek yogurt (but it's 10% eeeep!).
Oooh a nice thing would be chocolate fondue with plenty of strawberries! But they're not really in season for Valentine's Day <_<
"A common way to tell if it is well cooked is to throw the sausage onto a hard surface; if it bounces, the sausage is good."
I was going to make various heart shaped baked goods. I don't have anyone too feed them too, and if I did I'd probably find it too tacky. I just wanted to use the bakeware. However, I was at an aplicant open day at Lancaster so I didn't get the chance.

I love eavesdropping as I walk through the halls of Ballet Austin's Butler Dance Education Center. Well, not sure if it is really eavesdropping, as eavesdropping, according to Wikipedia, is "the act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent."
I wouldn't say these conversations were private. In fact, some were pretty loud and spirited. Some people even knew I was listening because they gave their unofficial consent with an occasional glance in my direction and a smile or a wave. I smiled back somewhat nonchalantly, choosing to remain the detached observer. It reminds me of when I drove carpool when my children were younger, sitting in the front seat with the music turned low so I could hear the backseat conversation. My driver's seat offered one of the best views of my children's lives. My eyes on the road, my voice silent, and my ears open…I learned a lot.
Last night in the "driver's seat" I walked through the halls of BDEC as studios emptied after Butler Community School classes were finished. As sweat poured down faces, I overheard comments about how enjoyable it is to dance, what a blast they had, how great the teacher was. Then another comment caught my attention. "That was such an amazing and intense workout, and so much fun!" Wait! Could something so fun really count as a workout? I know better than to ask that question…of course it could!
Infectious music, encouraging teachers, learning new choreography, and the social aspect of a dance class take the rough edges off an hour of heart pumping, muscle burning, sweat inducing exercise. I kept walking, watching, and listening as scores of adults of all ages walked out of Zumba®, Broadway Fit, Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Modern with smiles on their faces. I love eavesdropping!


text: WR Ky Priester (6-2 185) of Snellville, GA committed to Clemson Sunday at the conclusion of his official visit with the Tigers. Clemson becomes his third commitment following Georgia and more recently NC State. Priester had indicated going into the visit a commitment was likely and tweeted Saturday night a commitment was imminent. Last season Priester had 56 catches for 1000 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a junior playing in Florida, he had 31 catches for 565 yards and 5 touchdowns. Priester helps to offset two receiver defections for the Tigers earlier this month in Demarcus Robinson (Florida) and Ryan Jenkins (Tennessee). He becomes the 16th commitment for Clemson's 2013 class.

I often read posts here about some kiters having a bad attitude and putting the others in danger. I think like everyone else, what an asshole. Well today I was this guy.
I wanted to share this with you because it can really happen to anyone, a bad decision can happen fast. I hope it will prevent some people to end up like me today.
I was in Sherman. There was the two boats from kitopia following each other, very slowly. I should have waited for the boats to pass. Instead, I decided to pass between the two boats... Last minute I noticed there were actually towing. My reaction was to jump to avoid the rope... I ended up landing on a boat. I bounced on the boat and then my board hitted a girl's head. Thanks god she was wearing a helmet, and she is okay. I'll check with her tomorrow.
I sincerely apologize and I learned a lesson for sure today... Even when it seems safe, a surprise can happen and it's fine if you're alone, but not if other people are involved.
I want to thank everyone who was involved today for being nice. I didn't deserve it.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
Ian Duncan MacDonald. "Artists are different. That creative void inside of them is filled by the gift of art. That persistent need to create. It keeps them striving. It's less about the destination than the path." For decades, I worked in oil, acrylic, ink and pastels. Now, I mostly create images in a digital medium. The speed and effects l can create by manipulating pixels on a computer screen, I find both exciting and very liberating. Interested in my background? Go to my webstite www.informus.ca.

text: Tech Talk: Make a Date with Google January 6, 2013 08:50 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor By Dino Giacomazzi When I was young, the first week of every January I would go with my father to the auto parts store to get his copy of the annual "Parts Pups" calendar. I remember this well because NAPA's calendar provided more than just the days of the week. Nowadays we live in a world that is far too politically correct for calendars like that, but luckily we have Google Calendar to take its place. Bonus Content Google Calendar Tutorial to Google Calendar CalenGoo for iPhones Google Calendar is a cloud-based time management tool. This column will focus on features that are not obvious at first look; follow the Dot for a YouTube link to a good beginners' tutorial. GCal allows you to create multiple calendars and view each one on demand. My account contains many different calendars, including employees' days off, vacations, a dairy event schedule, farm field events, and my son's schedule. Most of the time I only view my personal appointments, but sometimes I want to access these other calendars. For example, every quarter, I print and post the days-off schedule for each group of employees. You can view as few or as many calendars as you like from your desktop and phone. My dairy calendar consists mostly of repeating events like equipment and barn maintenance, vet checks, nutritionist visits, vaccines, pen moves and company meetings. I will also preschedule farming events, but these usually change and then become part of my farm record-keeping system. Programming seasonal reminders like "cover haystacks" and "change teat dip" allows you to execute these tasks on a semi-irregular but consistent basis. The most valuable feature of GCal is its ability to share calendars. I share my farm schedules with my farm manager, and the dairy schedules with my herdsman. I share a calendar with my fellow officers and staff at the county Farm Bureau, but the most important share is with my wife. She inputs her schedule on her iPhone, I input mine on the Galaxy and PC, and through GCal we are always in sync. Google offers many useful calen-dars you can subscribe to, such as national holidays, sunrise/sunset times, pro sports schedules, your contacts' birthdays, and the day of the year. I use "day of the year" to do quick date calculations. Let's say you check a heifer on May 1 (Day 121) and she is 45 days pregnant. You want to move her to the close-up pen at 261 days carried calf. Subtracting 45 from 261 and then adding 121 will quickly tell you her close-up date will be Day 337, which is Dec. 3. You could then add an event to your "heifer move" calendar on that date. Finally, if you are planning a meeting, family event, or other activity, GCal gives you the ability to invite people to those events. Guests can decline or accept; if they accept, GCal adds your event to their calendar as well. If you have an Android phone, you already have Google Calendar. If you have an iPhone, you can sync your GCal to Apple's iCal. But if you want to access the full power of Google Calendar, it is best to install a third-party app such as CalenGoo.

Bring me the Horizon.
They're just really good. Aren't they.
no, I don't think they are.
Sorry.alcxxk, sadballadman, juicegermer, badmanreturns, benfyffemusic, CillaCrack, chickenbones, svenrokk, Acquiescence, Alex-in-Ciderland, kilgore-trout, Knightboat, harman_kardon, H-Stein, waterwings, cat_race, and amputee-porn this'd this
- Acquiescence, Comaboy, and poptimusgrime this'd this
- Caesurob this'd this
- Alex-in-Ciderland this'd this
I thought so
and then i listened to Rolo Tomassi.
They're totally different bands.
HGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHbenfyffemusic this'd this
My friend really likes them but i've never been a big hardcore fan
i saw Underoath in 2010 and really really enjoyed it, are they anything like that?
Just wait for the BBC review...
There's a half decent metalcore band in there somewhere
I honestly think Crucify Me is a great song.Severed799 and Puds this'd this
With most bands, fans get pissed off...!
With Bring Me The Horizon, fans get pissed on! What value for money these cheeky chappies add to the experience.
Thankfully their music has never redeemed them from the above... alleged... incedent and have been happy to rate them as talentless belms ever since.
Nothing supplements a bland and boring band like a bit of controversy, eh
And a ton of blatant, generic tattoos all over. Nothing tells the world you're an out-and-out rebel like a fucking skull tattoo.
Not a massive fan
But the last album certainly had its moments. As someone above said, Crucify Me is great.

Coming January, Windows 7 will make its big debut in the form of the first public beta release. However, just as with any other pre-final Windows build, it has already been leaked onto various torrent websites, and Paul Thurrot, everyone's favourite Microsoft zealot ["...hopefully Web site owners will get serious about getting ready for the next IE and correct these issues." Wait, what?], has written a review of this new beta. He concludes: "In use, Windows 7 is fairly unexceptional in the sense that, yes, it has some nice improvements over Windows Vista, but, no, none of them are particularly major changes. In this sense, Windows 7 is much like your typical Microsoft Office release, a nicely tweaked version of the previous release. (Cue the obvious Steven Sinofsky anecdote here, I guess.) That said, Windows Vista is clearly in need of a spit-shine, not to mention a public execution, and Windows 7 will provide Microsoft with a way to do both."

I mean, surely, if pressed, you could just crank out ONE, right? Here's your chance to shine! You shouldn't pass it by. Provide a link that proves your point. However, asking me to bolster your point makes you sound either lazy or unable to do so yourself.

iTWire contacted McIntyre about the matter, and the project leader said that in the end, it's up to the people working in the area in question to make decisions like this. "The GNOME team are free to pick their own selection of applications that they think make the best GNOME desktop that will fit on a single CD, in much the same way the KDE make their own choices (like staying with 3.5.x for Lenny)," McIntyre explains, "Josselin Mouette has updated the dependencies of the gnome2 meta-package, converting Recommends: tomboy into Depends: tomboy | gnote." We already explained in our previous article the how and why behind this move.
Still, McIntyre also stated that the decision is still up for debate; how exactly that fits into the GNOME team making their own decision - which has already been made by Josselin Mouette - is a bit vague to me, but I'm assuming McIntyre has more insight into the Debian release process than I do.
McIntyre's own view upon Mono isn't exactly favourable, but not more or less so than when it comes to C++ or Python. "I'm personally no fan of Mono, but equally I'm not a great lover of C++ or Python either; I'm certainly not about to suggest that we drop any of them right now," he told iTWire, "There is some fear in the community about possible software patent attacks, but that hasn't stopped us packaging and shipping other software in the past. If a real problem arises, we'll deal with at that point. That has been our policy for quite a while now."
He added that he regrets the tone of the blog posts in this discussion. "It seems that some of our developers are more interested in ranting and raving in their blogs than having a rational, productive discussion on the mailing lists. That's not helping anyone."

The New Golden Age of Planned Giving
There has been endless speculation about how the new tax law will impact charitable giving. Take heart, here's a first look about what it begins to mean for planned giving.
By: Randy Fox, Editor-in-Chief
We welcome 2018 with our typical resolutions: exercise more; take more time off; be a better parent; oh, and learn the new tax law. Even if I break three of them, I have no choice on the fourth. And, as I ponder what impact will this new, sweeping "reform" have on me, I also have to think about what it will mean for my profession, my clients and charities. My brain isn't big enough to understand what it will do for the economy; the budget and all of the other macro thoughts that wiser and smarter people will continue to opine about.
Closer to home, though, many charities are in a panic. "Giving is dead", they say. Many donors can no longer take a tax deduction for their gift and even though the Adjusted Gross Income limit (AGI)for gifts of cash has been raised to 60%, the checks will have to be pretty big to be deductible. Congress, is laughing at this sleight of hand, I'm sure. Charities are certainly going to have to be creative in their messaging. Remember, most of the surveys indicate people don't give to save taxes. They give because they want to make a difference and they believe in the mission. Time to refocus on the mission and vision. Time to embrace the donor. Sure, you already do that but do it more.
You charity directors, time to go and give a big hug to everyone in the Planned Giving Department. Their time has come. This new law, I believe, begins a new golden age for planned giving. Yes, that's right. The right planned gift for the right donor will still create a usable and useful income tax deduction. Tax planning for (potential) wealthy donors is more critical than ever. Charitable planning is one of the few areas where wealthy individuals can actually create additional deductions and save income taxes. Every conceivable planned gift should be learned, reviewed, considered and discussed in every charitable organization.
Do you know, or are you using Pooled Income Funds, Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Lead Trusts, Donor Advised Funds, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Life Estates, IRA gifts, etc, etc? Even if your organization isn't a large one, many of these ideas can be outsourced, turnkeyed and administered by others and used by any charity. Accept gifts of real estate? Maybe it's time to change your thinking.
All changes in the tax law take time to absorb and adapt to. If there is a giving "hiccup" it should only be temporary. It's important to remember we still live in the most giving nation in the world and Americans, by nature, want to improve the world around them. The pace of change in our country is increasing constantly. The new law is one more thing we have to absorb, interpret and react to. Those who don't adapt risk extinction. Those who interpret the best actions for their organization to take and move in that direction, should survive and prosper. 896-7970

Spiced Red Snapper with Georgia Pecan Crust
The nutty aroma of the pecan crust on this red snapper is tantalizing. The tender fish surrounded by a crunchy nut crust is a perfect pairing.
3⁄4 cup pecan halves
1⁄2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 small jalapeño, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1⁄4 tsp. allspice
4 red snapper fillets
(6-8-oz. each), skin on
4 tsp. vegetable oil
1⁄2 lime
3 green onions, finely chopped
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Oil rimmed baking sheet. In food processor fitted with chopping blade, combine pecans, breadcrumbs, jalapeño, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, salt, and allspice. Pulse briefly until mixture is coarsely chopped but well blended.
2. Rinse fish and pat dry. Spread pecan mixture on large plate and press flesh side of each fillet into mixture to coat completely with thick crust.
3. Heat 2 tsp. oil in large skillet (preferably nonstick) over med. heat. Add two fillets, crust sides down; cook just until lightly browned, about 5 min. With large spatula, remove fillets to baking sheet, turning over to place them skin side down. Repeat with remaining oil and fillets.
4. Place fillets in oven and bake until flesh is cooked through; about 5 min. Transfer to serving plates, sprinkle with juice of lime and top with green onions.
Note: Pecan meal can be frozen for up to two years. To use, put meal in oven and warm at 300°F for 10-15 min.

Basketball all-star Latrell Sprewell, fired by his team and suspended from play for a year by the NBA for choking his coach, had his sentence reduced and contract reinstated by the ruling of a union-mandated arbitrator.
While the sporting world is in shock, this perversion of justice is nothing new for organized labor. Unions have used arbitration as a means of choking off dissent for years.
Sprewell was penalized for throttling Golden State Warriors Coach P.J. Carlesimo twice and threatening to kill him during a team practice last year.
Under the terms of a contract negotiated between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association, Sprewell's appeal was handled by an arbitrator rather than in a court of law. The arbiter believed Sprewell has already suffered enough under what he considered an excessive punishment, and is allowing Sprewell to resume playing in time for next season. He'll also be allowed to collect the $16.3 million remaining on his contract with the Warriors.
Players' union head Bill Hunter said the ruling "reaffirms the sanctity of guaranteed contracts in the NBA." NBA Commissioner David Stern summed it up another way: "You cannot choke your boss and keep your job unless you are an NBA player. But this is arbitration."
Public opinion is decidedly against the arbitrator's ruling in Sprewell's case. What most people do not know, however, is that this pro-union tilt has been called into question before. The National Right to Work Legal Foundation calls arbitration "union-orchestrated dog and pony shows." This inherent unfairness will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court later this month.
Organized labor uses arbitration to facilitate its continued use of member dues to finance political activity. In 1986, the Supreme Court's ruling in Chicago Teachers Union vs. Hudson ensured that workers who did not want to join a union had the right to a quick and impartial resolution of disputes arising over the use of their still-mandatory dues payments.
Two years later, the court's ruling in Communications Workers of America vs. Beck entitled workers to a refund of any dues spent for politics of which they did not approve. To combat this erosion of power, union leaders erected procedural hurdles like arbitration to make these freedoms as elusive to workers as possible.
Unions want arbitration _ rather than the courts _ to be the ultimate voice in worker-union disputes. This is because the rules of the American Arbitration Association are written to favor organized labor: Only the union can invoke the arbitration process, only union officials are allowed to "describe the issues involved" and normal courtroom rules regarding evidence and witnesses do not apply.
In a case to be heard this month by the U.S. Supreme Court, 150 Delta Air Line pilots are suing the Air Line Pilots Association over that union's unwillingness to provide a full accounting of how membership dues are spent. When the case was forced into arbitration against the pilots' wishes, their story was heard by an arbiter on three occasions over a three-month period, with the only witnesses being ALPA officials using financial summaries and blank forms as their evidence. Not surprisingly, the union won.
In this case, a lower court already noted arbitration is "not . . . perceived to be sympathetic to the concerns of workers." The AAA itself also loses any appearance of impartiality since its board of directors is dominated by labor leaders like AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, American Federation of Teachers President Sandra Feldman and National Treasury Employees Union President Robert Tobias.
To ensure labor unions are not allowed to abuse the rights of workers by using their dues for political purposes against their will, one simple legislative remedy is "paycheck protection." This gives workers the power to regularly approve payroll deductions for politics, allowing them the freedom to make their own political choices. While the current legal process requires that workers resign their union membership to get a refund, "paycheck protection" allows proud union members who simply oppose leadership politics to remain members in good standing.
Congress is expected to vote on national "paycheck protection" this summer. In June, Californians will vote on Proposition 226, which will prohibit employers and labor unions from using payroll deductions for politics without prior annual approval.
In poll after poll, voter approval of Prop 226 has remained steady at 70 percent. Despite this support, organized labor is expected to spend tens of millions of dollars _ ironically, collected from member dues _ to defeat Prop 226 and the 18 other bills and ballot initiatives championing this cause across America.
Arbitration got Latrell Sprewell back in the game, but the Supreme Court may end up benching organized labor's future use of the process to get around abiding by the will of union members and the law. Furthermore, "paycheck protection" legislation may send union bosses hoping to fund their own political agendas out of member's wallets to the showers altogether.

"Windows Server 2012 probably won't have the adoption lag in the enterprise that Windows 8 is bound to face. That's because, aside from the Metro GUI, Server 2012's biggest changes are in substance rather than style, building upon what the company delivered with Windows Server 2008 Release 2 three years ago. In particular, Server 2012 takes two management features Server 2008 R2 admins will be familiar with - Server Manager and PowerShell - and expands on them considerably."

RE: PowerShell
by n4cer on Fri 7th Sep 2012 01:00 UTC in reply to "PowerShell"
Actually, I'm not a fan of PowerShell. It's freaking slow.
In startup time, runtime performance, or your workflow (i.e., using the language)?
The startup time for PowerShell 3.0, at least on Windows 8/Server 2012 (haven't tried it down-level, but it should be similar) is near instant (on par with opening Command Prompt).
Runtime performance should be faster over prior versions as well, in part, due to the new, DLR-based engine, .NET 4.5 optimizations, and general optimizations to PowerShell itself.
The language has gained a few shortcuts and simplifications for some scenarios, but their value it's largely subjective if the language is what you're criticizing.
