Inform, engage, activate.
To inform, inspire and empower the people of Canmore to help ensure the long term viability of our community and environment.
It can be challenging to get your head around the issues and implications that living in an environmentally sensitive yet popular destination like Canmore entails. Canmore Commons hopes to provide you with the context you need to feel empowered with a broader understanding of the issues that matter to you, to elevate the level of conversation and to encourage you to make your voice matter.
Goal 01
Harness the knowledge of local experts to give readers the tools they need to engage in effective and meaningful discussions.
Goal 02
Create a platform that keeps citizens up to date with resources, questions and concerns related to local developments and environmental issues.
Goal 03
Present an active and balanced voice for the residents of Canmore. And yes, grizzlies, wolves and elk are residents, too!
Get involved + shape your future.
The story
The development of the remaining lands in and around Canmore, and they way we behave in this environmentally significant valley, is constantly shaping our town and the lives of those who call it home. It's also a great reason for residents to connect with each other and get involved by providing feedback and direction on how we want Canmore to look both today and in the future.
Canmore Commons is an independent website founded in January 2017, catalyzed by concerns about the upcoming Three Sisters Mountain Village (TSMV) developments. Our research into the topic was just the tip of the iceberg and we soon realized the conversation about TSMV has broader implications related to the reasons we choose to live here, the forces that are shaping our town, and how to make Canmore even better by engaging more residents in the conversation. This website is a place to become engaged in that broader conversation.
Canmore Commons adds value by providing readers with trusted resources, news and updates, and simple summaries that will inspire you to have a say on complicated and controversial development and environmental matters. While attempting to keep it simple, we also hope that the information shared through this platform will give readers a greater appreciation for the unique complexity of the issues that are faced by our community, our wildlife, developers, conservationists, our town planners and our elected representatives.
Who we are
This website is a collection of knowledge and resources brought together through interviews with dozens of experts, entrepreneurs and leaders in the Bow Valley. We have tapped into Canmore's world-class community of scientists, engineers, wildlife experts, town planners and others to bring you a comprehensive overview of the issues.

It was like getting a report card again.
As I was leaving the doctor's office after my annual physical, the nurse handed me a printout with the results. In eleven categories, they list me as "chronic."
Now I know how the pinball machine feels when I slap the flippers too hard and the machine dings up "TILT." Except I got no flashing lights, bells, nor whistles.
They could have let me down easy with a simple positive phrase. I would be satisfied with: "plays well with others."
I will admit to being a chronic pain in the ass. That should cover it.
Chronic. Put another quarter in the machine.

Hey, George, "chronicle" is way better than "terminal" so cheer up.

On Thursday, October 11, 2018 Texas Children's Hospital will host The 21st Annual Bad Pants Open golf tournament, presented by RBC Wealth Management and Capital Markets, at The Clubs of Kingwood. The Bad Pants Open is committed to funding the needs of sick and premature newborn babies and their families that are not covered by the medical services and programs available in the hospital. All proceeds will be used to enhance the medical and technical care that these babies and their families currently receive throughout the year, so that the burden on the families is decreased.
Examples of some of the programs and services supported by The Bad Pants Open fund are — nurse training and education, bereavement care programs, parking costs, meals for families, transportation, and car seats. At Texas Children's, we believe in caring for the whole child, as well as for the needs of the family. With the support of the Bad Pants funds, our goal is to guarantee all families in Texas Children's Newborn Center are comfortable and well cared for, so they can focus on getting their baby healthy and ready to go home sooner.
Over the past 20 years, The Bad Pants Open has provided nearly $6,000,000 in support for Texas Children's Newborn Center — the largest neonatal intensive care unit in the country and one of only two Level 4 NICUs in the greater Houston area. In addition, crucial funds provided by The Bad Pants Open have supported the construction of a Level 3 neonatal unit in the new Texas Children's community hospital in the Woodlands. Because of supporters like you, we will be able to offer expert neonatal intensive care, world-class expertise and cutting-edge technology along with compassionate family support to our tiniest patients.

I am Brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in Porto Alegre, south of Brazil. I currently live in Silicon Valley, California.
I was born premature – 7 months – and according to my mom I could fit on the palm of a hand – not sure why I can't remember that.
In consequence, I was the shortest of my friends for many years.
Since I was 3, my hobby was reading and writing – except that from my 8th to my 16th birthday I loved playing video-games, playing instruments and playing outside with my best friend.
When I was around 10, I was introduced to my brother's IBM computer, running commands to start up games in those 5 1/4 floppy disks – like the one of the frog crossing the street.
When I was 12, I started appreciating music and instruments – from tambourine, to acoustic guitar, to drums, to bass, to electric guitar, to keyboard and then to violin.
Switching topics, in Brazil you decide your "major" before you join college, not during the first semesters while you're already studying. Thus, you need to be sure you know what you want before applying for any school.
Before applying for college, I concluded that knowing a second language would be ideal.
(In case you still don't know, in Brazil we only speak Portuguese)
Although I wanted to learn English better, my mom convinced me that Spanish would be the best option. Universities in Brazil require that you pass an exam of several disciplines in order to get in, and Languages is one of them. I started my Spanish classes right away and kept learning English by myself, so when I had to take the Languages test, my Spanish would be sharp.
When I was 15, during my last year of high school, I struggled about which course – meaning "major" – to take in college: Music, Industrial Design, or Computer Science. I was stuck between something very artistic and something totally scientific and analytic. Following my parents' direction, it made sense to keep studying music (theory and practice) by myself along the years, and go to school to focus on something that would give me a future – and everybody talked about computers like they were the future.
When I turned 16, I started my BS in Computer Science at "Pontificia Universidade Catolica do RS" – I finally decided.
As a side note, remember the Spanish classes I took to prep for the exam to get into college? It was a 3 year course! But when I applied for that exam I was notified that English was the mandatory language in the exam for the Computer Science courses. My thought after that? "I hate Spanish! What a waste of time!"
Computer Science was supposed to be a 4.5 year course, but easily turned into 8 years for me since I decided to take fewer classes per semester. At that time I was dedicating more time to our church and was also participating in the church band. For some time I led the Wednesday and Friday worship during the services. I had a clear understanding that this was an important period in my life, and that life was not all about college. I really learned during this period and had a great experience understanding more about God and also feeling Him.
I was also able to use music to teach kids and to play in hospitals a few years later. Knowledge can be used in various and powerful ways, but you rarely know that at the time you learn something.
Around that same time I developed a passion for the film industry and started reading books on Film Production, thinking that maybe I could do a career change some time in the future – as you're reading this I assure you that didn't happen.
In the early 2000's I started taking TaeKwonDo classes and developed a great sense for martial arts. I had to stop after an injury in my left foot during a tournament (I started it again years later, but it lasted just a few months. It was difficult to find enough time to dedicate to it. My next step is learning Krav Maga some time soon… and that's the 4th year I'm saying "soon.")
During that same period I started using English on the Internet whenever and however I could, asking people to correct me and not being afraid of committing mistakes.
That gave me wonderful new friends from different parts of the World.
In 2004, I made 2 friends from Greece – an archaeologist and a geologist – who quickly started giving me some tips on Greek; and I started loving that language.
During that time I started memorizing things just for fun. I began with a few words and numbers, and then was able to memorize dozens of pages. That ended up being very useful today. (I actually recall memorizing the Periodic Table with a friend during the 8th grade to play games during class break)
In 2005 I started reading more about ancient Egypt, Greek mythology and general History. From that point on I started loving archaeology and ancient languages, and then started studying ancient Greek and Hebrew so I could read the original texts of the Bible (and gave up on Latin after finding out it wasn't the original language). Once again I thought I could one day do a career change to become an archaeologist – that also didn't happen so far – I was VERY bad at History before college.
In 2006 I finished Computer Science and was ready to move to the next step: study Theology.
During that year I read many books about other religions, and got to read their own books as well, and that was one of the triggers to point me to Theology, not the opposite.
I was already too much into science and academia, and didn't want to just go to a seminary. I didn't want to study the Bible like it's taught in churches, but I wanted to understand the reason behind all things, and in details – not that it was possible, but my curiosity was increasing each day.
Therefore, I moved to Curitiba in 2007 to study Theology in a school that was recognized as one of the best in that topic, academically speaking – and maybe liberal enough to some conservative people.
That was as 4 year bachelor's course focused on history, psychology, philosophy, geography, leadership, and we also studied all books of the Bible with a scientific eye without removing the essence of spirituality; we also went through other religions and different school of thoughts.
I chose my "minor" in Exegesis, which is the interpretation of ancient texts – in this case, in Greek and Hebrew… and no, no Latin.
Still in 2007, I started dating the most amazing person I've ever met who is now my wife for 5 years, and who gives me support beyond any expectations.
She's a loving Argentine girl, and quickly transformed me from "disgusting Spanish" to thanking everyday for the classes I once took – although we speak to each other mostly in Portuguese, in which she has no accent at all.
In 2009 I started researching more about science for some events I was promoting at the church, and developed a passion for neuroscience, psychology, DNA, nanotechnology, and latest science discoveries. My questions were: should I get my Masters in Genetics, or Archaeology, or Nanotechnology, or Languages, or Artificial Intelligence?
I occasionally preached in the church during the years I was studying Theology, but in 2010 I became the youth leader/pastor for a year, working to drive them all toward the same goals while coaching other leaders. I had the opportunity of teaching the Bible at our Sunday schools as well.
All of that was a good exercise to understand that people think, feel, see and understand differently, and that many times it's not a question of right or wrong, but different problems, in different levels, from different perspectives.
From time to time I decided to start learning a different language without going much further, but that gave me a good basis to understand differences in culture and expression. I studied Greek, Hebrew, German, Italian, Arabic and Russian by myself – and have forgotten already many things. I still dream of the day I'll know at least 10 languages and speak just like a native person does (judge me later… let me dream first)
From 2011, my life started to get crazy(er) – in all senses.
My wife and I got married in the beginning of the year: +1!
I started learning about entrepreneurship and started working in an idea of a startup: +1 … during our first year of marriage: -1.
I decided to switch to a multinational company in 2011 (Volvo) when I was still in Brazil, so I could strengthen my English and come to the US anytime soon.
That worked out; 10 months later I was living in New Jersey and working in Manhattan.
From that point on (in 2012) I focused on product development, product architecture, startups, entrepreneurship, product management, etc. (I also added MBA to the questions about what I should do)
I also had to deal with how to be an employee, an entrepreneur, and a husband, in a new country, new life, and new culture – no friends, no savings, no one to recommend you for anything because nobody knows you yet.
I can say I failed greatly trying to balance all that. I'm still learning and failing many times though, but I grew like I never did before.
My dad influenced me on being rational, respect others, and having multiple skills. He's awesomely good with math, history and science – and other crazy stuff.
My mom influenced me on loving and caring about others, using my creative side and being more emotional. She taught me to read and write when I was 3. I was left-handed and she also taught me to use the right hand too – she says she thought it could be useful someday.
I'd say that all of that explains why I'm just a freaking lover of science, math, languages, music, martial arts, technology, history, archaeology, psychology, business, neuroscience, and others.
Am I really good in all these things? Of course not! I try my best in everything I do and all I study anyway.
Do I regret not having focused on one only thing? Not at all. Maybe that helped me better connect to people and to the World.
Will that give me a decent job in the future? Well, who knows what future holds for us?

LIVINGSTON, NJ - Vascular disease is the nation's number one killer and can be the cause of stroke, aneurysm, disability and amputation. Most Americans are aware of the consequences of blocked blood vessels in their heart, yet the potential risks of blockages in blood vessels in other parts of the body often go unnoticed.
To raise awareness about this dangerous condition, adults are invited to a 20-minute screening for vascular disease on Mondays and Fridays from 7 a.m. until Noon at the Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center, 200 South Orange Avenue, Livingston. The cost is $50 per patient.
The screening includes ultrasound examination for aortic aneurysms and carotid artery disease as well as a test that measures blood flow in the legs. These non-invasive tests are a painless way to determine if any narrowing or blockages exist in arteries. The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels to the brain. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the chest and abdomen.
Many people with vascular disease do not have symptoms. Therefore, those at high-risk for the condition should be screened:
- Over age 55
- High blood pressure
- Lack of exercise
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- High cholesterol
- Obesity
- Family history of vascular disease
- Previous heart or leg treatments
Registration is required for the screening by calling 973.322.7888. No prescription is necessary. For more information about the Vascular Center, visit barnabashealth.org/acc or call 973.322.7308.

Gordon Brown has been accused of rushing through the ratification of a treaty with Tripoli that could pave the way for the repatriation of the Lockerbie bomber as part of a British push to protect oil interests in Libya.
Amid signs that a decision on the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi could be made within days, senior MPs and peers said ministers in London had overlooked human rights in their haste to ratify the agreement.
Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish justice secretary, is poised to decide whether Megrahi, who has terminal prostate cancer, should be allowed to return home on compassionate grounds. The former Libyan intelligence agent, 57, is serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years after being convicted in 2001 of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 people.
Today,three judges at the high court in Edinburgh accepted an application by Megrahi to drop his second appeal against his conviction. The bomber's move has fuelled speculation that he has brokered a deal with the Scottish authorities to clear the way for his return home.
A spokeswoman for MacAskill said that the justice secretary had not yet made a decision and that he could still decide to keep Megrahi in his specially built cell in Greenock prison. Should MacAskill decide to allow Megrahi to return to Libya, he would leave in one of two ways:
• Released into the care of his family on compassionate grounds under existing Scottish law.
• Transferred to a Libyan prison under the terms of the Prisoner Transfer Agreement, signed by Britain and Libya last November and formally ratified on 29 April this year. Currently, this option is seen as unlikely because a Crown appeal against Megrahi's sentence remains outstanding.
MPs and peers on the joint human rights committee have said that they had been denied the chance by the government to scrutinise the treaty properly after ministers rushed through the measure in a bid to protect business interests in Libya.
Jack Straw, the justice secretary, told the committee in a letter on 12 March: "Both the foreign secretary and I believe, in the interests of our judicial and wider bilateral relations with Libya, it is important to ratify... a delay beyond April is likely to lead to serious questions on the part of Libya in regards to our willingness to conclude these agreements."
In a sharply worded response, the committee said: "We... regret that we have been unable to publish a substantive report on the treaty before Easter and, therefore, before ratification."
Andrew Dismore, the Labour chairman of the committee, said that the treaty was rushed through to pave the way for the release of Megrahi.
Members of the committee said that the government was keen to protect British business interests. Richard Shepherd, a Conservative member of the committee, told the Guardian: "We clearly have an interest because of the discovery of even vaster energy resources. Governments are always juggling that. But that is no reason for us not to scrutinise and see whether a piece of legislation is appropriate."
The Earl of Onslow, another Tory member, said: "This is not a good way to deal with matters of justice. One shouldn't allow whether one has a right to drill for oil in the Gulf of Sidra to have any influence on what is essentially a criminal matter."
In recent years, the government has faced criticism for turning a blind eye to human rights abuses in Libya after Tony Blair formally ended Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's pariah status in March 2004, when he visited the Libyan leader in his tent on the outskirts of Tripoli. Blair made the trip months after Gaddafi announced that he was abandoning Libya's programme to develop weapons of mass destruction.
In the years since Blair's visit, Britain has built extensive business interests with Libya. The Duke of York has made two official visits to Libya in the past two years in his role as Britain's special representative for international trade and investment, as well as what Buckingham Palace described as a "small number" of private visits.
Sir Richard Dalton, a former British ambassador to Libya, warned that relations would be damaged if Megrahi were allowed to die in prison. But he added: "I think people who try to say [the Megrahi case] is part of an unseemly rush for contract favours are absolutely wrong. This is first and last a judicial matter."

Naylor hasn`t played after suffering a knee injury in the home defeat against Leicester City in October.
It looked like he was close to returning to the first team when he made his comeback in the reserves game against Hull City earlier this month.
Unfortunately for Naylor the injury flared up after the Hull game and the club decided to send him for a minor operation to clean the problem area of his knee up.

How does the horse specializing work?
Each time your horse enters a show, a special counter for that show type is increased.
The sum of all entered shows represents 100%, therefore if you enter an equal amount of shows for each show type, they will have the same % (100%/11)
If you enter only 2 types of shows, you will have 50%/50% on those 2, and 0 on the others. Why would you do that? The higher the % is, the greater the chances of winning in a show of that type.
So if you enter a Racing type and your Racing spec is at 50%, you will have a greater chance of winning than someone whose skill is at 40% (well, it's slightly more complex, but that's the idea).
What tack is most important to win a show?
What are the red (T) and numbers?

From Goodreads:
Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison never thought that being a real life PRINCESS OF GENOVIA could ever be boring, but with all of the news vans and paparazzi staked out in front of the palace, the whole family has been on lockdown for weeks. So when Grandmere suggests a shopping trip to buy a small present for Princess Mia, Olivia jumps at the chance -- especially since the shopping trips comes with the promise of lunch at the Royal Genovian Yacht Club (makers of the best ice cream sundae in the world)! Surely nothing could go wrong with such a simple day out, could it?
A quick shopping trip with her royal Grandmere turns into a much bigger deal than Olivia Grace, the newest Princess of Genovia expected in this e-short edition to Meg Cabot's illustrated chapter book series From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess.
My Thoughts:
What I like most about this series is the bond between Grandmere and Olivia! It almost feels like Grandmere has come out of this shell, and now gets to be a true grandma. That does not mean, I don't think she was a real grandma to Mia, but she has let loose a little. For instance, in this short, you learn that Grandmere has cut down on smoking because of Olivia telling her it is bad for her health. She wears nicotine patches, and allows Olivia draw little dog and cat faces on them! That is so not something that Grandmere would have allowed to happen with Mia back during the Princess Diaries days!
This was a great short read! Only 31 pages or so! But also just a great edition to the new series that Meg has come up with! Definitely cannot wait for more!
My Rating:
Definitely check it out!

Does Friday the 13th Bring Out Your Superstition?
I woke up this morning and remembered it was Friday the 13th. I'm a pretty superstitious guy. I would definitely not bungee jump or sky dive today, but that's just me. I wonder how many people actually have their day change because it's Friday the 13th.
I don't think my day changes too much, since I didn't really plan on bungee jumping or sky diving today (or any day for that matter). I do know that there are people who avoid specific things or places today, and some people won't even leave the house. How will it affect your day?

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to delay things I plan to do with nothing but EXCUSES and JUSTIFICATIONS in not doing that thing I planned to do.
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to through breath, understand within myself whether thus there is something that is stopping me from doing what I planned, or if there is something I'd 'rather' do in the sense that I did not consider it at the time of planning for example.
I commit myself to PLAN within REASON so that I see that I won't come to this situation whereas something else comes up/is more important/that I'd rather do - within this I see, realise and understand that there's no reason for me not to consider ALL these factors so that I WILL stick to the plan.
So I commit myself to consider all things before I plan to make the plan happen.

There may be a crisis or an emergency in your area, or throughout the country where you will need specific items in your time of need. Unfortunately, there isn't an unlimited supply of these items and the following items will be the first to disappear off of a shelf at the store. It is a good idea to stock up on these items before an emergency situation takes places.
Water: Although good clean water may disappear off of the shelves quickly, it is a good idea to have a back up water filter in case you would need to filter water out of a faucet or elsewhere. There are heavy duty filters that you can use to filter water out of a lake or a stream; something that you wouldn't ordinarily drink out of without it being filtered.
Camp Stove: If something happens to your electricity in your house, you better hope that you are one of the first to the store to get a camp stove. These will disappear quickly in a crisis. You may have a grill to cook on, but how long will you be able to tolerate food cooked from a grill? You better stock up on propane and fuel to power your camp stove, as well as a good set of cast iron pans.
Batteries: Everything these days take batteries. Flashlights are a main item that you will need in a crisis. Even if you have rechargeable batteries, how are you going to charge them without electricity?
Vitamins: Vitamins are crucial to staying healthy. It is a good idea to stock up on them when you can. Although they may be expensive, they will keep your immune system in tip top shape. You can bet that these will be an item that disappear quickly off the shelves in a crisis.
Food: It is a fact that most grocery stores only have enough food on their shelves and in the back for about 3 days. Usually grocery stores will have food coming in several times a week to keep their shelves well stocked. Food is going to be one of the very first things to disappear off shelves. You may want to think about investing in long term food storage. There are delicious and nutritious dehydrated food that have a shelf life of 25 years.
Hygiene Products: Hygiene products will be the next to go quickly off shelves. Toothbrushes, toilet paper, deodorant and soap will be items that are in high demand during an emergency situation.
Ammo: We are already seeing a limited supply of firearms and ammo. After an outbreak of a crises, you won't be able to walk in and out with a purchase of ammo from a sporting good store because there won't be any left. If there is ammo left, there will be a limit on how much you can buy.
Cigarettes: Many people rely on cigarettes to get through their long days at work. Can you imagine how smokers will feel after they find out about a crisis taking place in their city? Their first stop will be the gas station for cigarettes. Lets hope for their sake that there are still some left in stock.
Carbon monoxide alarm: This may be a very good idea to have in case of an emergency. When you are not heating your home the natural way and it gets cold you will have to somehow heat your house to stay warm. You may want to use a small gas heater. In this case, you will want a carbon monoxide alarm to detect any gas leaks. This one item may save your family's life.
Outerwear: If the disaster or crisis was anything like the latest hurricanes, who knows how long we will be without power or heat. Coats, jackets, mittens, hats, scarves and boots will be in high demand with little to no supply. If something happens during a warm season and carries out to a cool season, there may not be anything on the shelves.
Survival Handbooks: If you are thinking of roughing it in the woods, you will want to know what plants to stay away from, what berries are poisonous, how to scale a fish and how to clean a deer. These are just some of the things you will learn in a survival handbook. People who are not familiar with these survival skills will be looking for a handbook in hopes that they are not sold out yet. Survival handbooks may be rare and may disappear quickly in a crisis.
Paper products: This point goes along with toilet paper. Since we aren't able to rely on electricity in our home, we won't be able to cook and clean dishes properly. Paper plates, napkins and plastic silverware will disappear quickly in a crisis. You better stock up on these things while they are fully stock in the stores now.
Medicine: Whether it is pain relief or something as simple as band aids, medicinal products will quickly disappear rather quickly. If you get a cut and don't have a band aid it may be dangerous as the cut could become infected by using something that is not sterile.
Camping equipment: Some people may decide to tough it out and camp during this duration. They may feel more comfortable surrounded by nature and they may want to get aware from the disoriented people. Tents, blankets, sleeping bags and sleeping mats will all become rare because so many people will want to be camping instead of cooped up in their house without any electricity. This means you will also want rain gear such as rain jackets, rain boots, sealant for your tent and ponchos. Tarps are another good idea to have to cover your firewood or other materials when it rains.
These will be the first items to disappear quickly in a crisis. Stocking up on the necessary items that you will use is a good idea. As long as you are going to eventually use it, you can never have too much of one item.

Finding Inspiration...
...the following passage was written by Paulo Coelho.
Enjoy ;)
"I remember receiving a letter from the American Publisher Harper Collins that said: 'Reading The Alchemist was like getting up at dawn and seeing the sun rise while the rest of the world still slept.'
I went outside, looked up at the sky, and thought to myself, 'So, the book is going to be published in English!'
At the time, I was struggling to establish myself as a writer and to follow my path despite all the voices telling me it was impossible.
And little by little, my dream was becoming reality. Ten, a hundred, a thousand, a million copies sold in America.
One day, a Brazilian journalist phoned to say that President Clinton had been photographed reading the book. Some time later, when I was in Turkey, I opened the magazine Vanity Fair and there was Julia Roberts declaring that she adored the book. Walking alone down a street in Miami, I heard a girl telling her mother, 'You must read The Alchemist!'
The book has translated into fifty-six languages, has sold more than twenty million copies, and people are beginning to ask, 'What's the secret behind such a huge success?
The only honest response is, I don't know. All I know is that, like Santiago the shepherd boy, we all need to be aware of our personal calling..."
...scheduling conflicts and the daily grind can often treat one's personal time in the same manner as a moist sponge held under a leaky sink. If only enough quiet time remains for one great read over the summer months, choose wisely, and consider The Alchemist.
You can thank me later ;)
...keep writing, my friends.

That is, by far, the greatest book I have ever read.
Thank you for posting this! It makes me want to read it again.

Wow, hard to resist such inspiration.

Hey Julie, agreed, it makes for an inspiring journey. Thanks for stopping by ;)
Hey Donna, the story only gets better from there. Being a die-hard bookworm, it takes something truly enjoyable to raise my eyebrows at this point, which The Alchemist pulled off.

I read the book years ago, probably not long after it came out in English. I need to read it again.

Thanks El. It's now on my list for summer reading. Yay!

Our books are like messages in bottles tossed out on the sea from our isolated island. We have no idea where the currents of chance will take it or to whom.
Now, you make me want to read that book!
May your own publishing dreams come true. Thanks for the inspiration, Roland

Love, LOVE this line... we all need to be aware of our personal calling
I haven't read the alchemist - I'll have to check itout! :)

- Elliot Grace said...
Hey Richard, considering the amount of talented work literally resting at our fingertips, for our reading pleasure, I've found it difficult sacrificing precious time on a 2nd read. For this one however, I'd make an exception ;)
Hey Anne, wise decision. You won't be disappointed!
Hey Roland, certain stories of brilliant character tend to inspire those of us who pen our dreams for others to enjoy. Paulo's work falls into that realm of talent. You would appreciate this read ;)
Hey Michael, it would make for an enjoyable edition to your summer list.
Hey Jemi, depending on the maturity level of the students that you teach, you may want to add it to their reading list as well ;)

- Elliot Grace said...
Hey Dana, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey CreepyQueryGirl, Paulo is indeed an inspiration to us all, considering that he arrived on the scene in dusty street clothes, with a pocket full of lint, to the person he has become.
Hey Rachna, agreed, its my favorite as well ;)
Hey Rachel, I believe it to be one of those must reads for anyone in search of a literary jump start on their manuscript.
Hey Eagle, great decision!
Hey Carolyn, it reads fast, not one of those novels that are bursting with unnecessary jargon, yet sticks to the bones like Grandma's famous chicken soup ;) Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

Holy shit did this game destroy me. And I mean that in an emotional way. People will probably think this is hilarious but I was seriously in a catatonic state after completing this game for maybe... a week? I know I was depressed about it for at least 2 weeks.. I finished FFXV on Christmas so uhm.. I was in a sorry state that day. Thanks Tabata you sick bastard! I shall now remember you as the director that kills my dreams of a happy ending.
Final Fantasy XV holds a special place in my heart, mostly because of how it's kind of symbolic for me. When I first saw previews of this game, I was just recently out of high school and starting college. When I finally got to play this, I had just graduated from nursing school after a long journey of figuring out what I really wanted to do with my life. Somehow I just happened to obtain this game merely a week after graduating.
I'm so obsessed with FFXV! I've been playing it almost everyday (after I got over my depression from it). I had to turn off my PS4 just now or else I'll never get anything done. (-__-)
Okay, so from this point on, I'll be in SPOILER city so if you're playing/planning to play this game and haven't finished yet, STOP READING!!!
I've played about 152 hrs of this and I'm still not finished with all the post-game content. For the record, I'm a slow player. I spend time just standing around and appreciating the gorgeous graphics; I'll take a good few minutes just admiring the grass and shrubs, lol. I really appreciate the attention to detail with the character's facial expressions being in a constant state of animation. If you've ever played the first two Kingdom Hearts games, you may have noticed the 'painted on' facial expressions of the characters. You know, that blank stared look when they're not in cutscenes?
|This is the best example I can find.
|In-game facial animation example. Goddamnit, everything in this game so f*cking beautiful!
When shit hit the fan in Altissia I was absolutely devastated because everything happy about the story went downhill from there without ANY respite. Noctis' fiance dies, there was an emotional rift between the 'bros', one of them got separated, Tenebrae was left in a fiery state of ruin, the horrendous chapter 13, and so on. The situation just gets worse and worse. I don't know if that was really necessary and just forcing sad emotions upon us. The only break we had was toward the end and it's short lived; Noctis then goes through his 10 year crystal slumber, wtf.... Vital things that could have added so much more to characters were not explained either. There was a serious lack of exposition in the story.
I didn't think the 10 year time skip was necessary and I got some extreme whiplash from it. Older Noctis looks badass but he could be a completely different person if you ask me.
I know there's a 'sort of' happy ending post credits but I really wish they didn't finish FFXV with "everyone dies" (Note: I like to think the bros died with him). I know the dramatic effect wouldn't be there without some sort of sacrifice but I think a happy ending can have impact as well and it would have been refreshing since Final Fantasy isn't exactly known for happy endings. It would have been even more surprising as FFXV was marketed as a darker Final Fantasy.
The tragic ending worked with Crisis Core because (most fans) knew that Zack was destined to die and it was a good way to tell the prequel to FFVII. It worked with FFX because it slowly worked up to it with happy and uplifting moments mixed throughout the sad undertone of the story. FFXV's tragedy was not executed well (not even close to its full potential) and ended up feeling forced, especially since it was presented as one giant emo train wreck toward the end with little to no exposition. It was like, happy road trip! Oh no... Luna dies. Everything goes to shit.
Don't get me wrong, I still love this game. I think it's gorgeous, engaging, and I like the story. I can forgive the lack of those special CGI animated cutscenes that are so exclusive to Final Fantasy games because the in-game animation is so spectacular. I just wish it had more cutscenes of characters (especially Ardyn, Revus, and Luna) minus the ridiculously drawn out emo ending. Should I even mention the awkwardly placed revelation of Prompto? (=_=)
Another thing I don't appreciate is Square Enix creating exposition DLC to SELL after the game has been completed instead including it in the game to begin with. There's no way I'm purchasing exposition DLC for this game. In my opinion, if they create that, they should just put it out for free especially since they seriously skimped on this Final Fantasy story. They can stick to selling things like additional outfits. It's not our fault that they f*cked up with cutting out story content. Why should we have to pay for exposition that should have been included in the first place? Okay, ending rant here.

( 4.8 Average / 93 Ratings )
This CPU is excellent and will last for quite some time as I found. The CPU is very fast for everyday tasks but not so much in some productivity programs. But still, on a budget this CPU is a awesome choice.
One of the best Core i5 to get without overclocking. Quad-core, very snappy. Windows and games have never been faster.
Beautifully efficient processor. The only reason I don't give it five stars is due to no overclocking potential.
This CPU is enough for my gaming needs with its quad core. I can multitask easily and for the price, this is definitely worth it.
Excellent chip - turbos to 3.7GHz without too much heat in a tiny system with limited cooling, and makes for a great little system coupled with a decent GPU - didn't need that i7 after all...
This processor destroyed everything I threw at it.
Great little chip I must say. Runs at 3.3ghz and can be boosted to 3.7. The stock fan was all I needed for it since it isn't an overclockable cpu. If you aren't really into overclocking this is a great choice to go with for the price.
This CPU was the cheapest quad core I could find on the LGA 1150 platform. It works fine for gaming and general use.
Good for Gaming, excellent for a Gaming and Everyday usage, no need overclock for that :)
Very happy with this processor. Two thumbs up.

CHICAGO — Chris Sale overcame a shaky first inning to combine with two relievers on a five-hitter and Adam Dunn homered to lead the Chicago White Sox over the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2 Thursday night.
Desmond Jennings walked leading off the game and scored and scored on Evan Longoria's single, but Sale (2-2) settled down and won for the first time since opening day. He allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, struck out seven and worked around four walks.
Sale has 31 strikeouts in five appearances against the Rays. He is 11-3 with a 2.26 ERA at home in 17 starts dating to the beginning of the 2012 season.
Matt Lindstrom worked a scoreless eighth, then Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his seventh save in seven chances for Chicago.
Dunn, in a 7-for-70 slide coming in, hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Jeremy Hellickson (1-2) for a 5-2 lead. Chicago had totaled 10 runs in its previous five games, losing four of them.
Hellickson gave up all five runs, five hits and four walks in six innings with eight strikeouts. Given the early lead, he allowed three runs in the first.
Alejandro De Aza doubled leading off and scored on Jeff Keppinger's double. Alex Rios walked and, one out later, Paul Konerko singled in the go-ahead run. Conor Gillaspie followed with a sacrifice fly.
Jose Lobaton homered in the fourth, his first since Aug. 22. Lobaton was 2 for 2 with a walk.
Gillaspie was thrown out at the plate trying to score on Alexei Ramirez's double into the left-field corner in the fourth. Longoria took the throw from Kelly Johnson and relayed to Lobaton at the plate.
NOTES: Rays SS Yunel Escobar was not in the lineup, a day after leaving a game against the Yankees in the seventh with tightness in his right hamstring. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he is unlikely to play Friday. ... Chicago started four left-handed batters. Lefties entered hitting .278 against Hellickson, righties just .111. ... Thursday was the Rays' first game since April 15 against a team that didn't reach last year's playoffs. ... White Sox 2B Gordon Beckham said his left hand "feels fine" and is hoping he will be back before his expected return in six weeks. Beckham had surgery last week for a broken hamate bone, sustained April 9 in Washington. ... Roberto Hernandez (1-3, 4.74 ERA) starts for Tampa Bay on Friday against Chicago's Jake Peavy (2-1, 3.20). ... Maddon brought a gnome modeled after him on the road for Tampa Bay's trip. The gnomes were a giveaway for Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay.
Rays fall to White Sox

Colin O'Brien, Staff Sgt. Brenton Wilson-Davies, and Thelma Mae met their handler Robin Zaehner at the British Embassy in Tehran for an operational briefing. Robin introduced the trio to their pilot Wing Commander Bob Doe, an eccentric American oilman working in partnership with British Petroleum, Jean Getty, and a Geologist working for Mr. Getty named Alistair Cook.
Zaehner introduced the group to each other and explained their missions. The three agents were to go to the town of Marand about 79 km northwest of Tabriz. There, agent Mae was to work as interpreter and special envoy for the Crown to help Getty secure oil rights for British Petroleum. O'Brien was to help a British team set up a field hospital in the town to help BP's interest and establish goodwill with the local population. Staff Sgt. Wilson-Davies was to recruit and train local fighters in sabotage and special operations against Soviet interests in Northern Iran, Armenia SSR and Azerbaijan and Wing Commander Doe was to fly the crew to their destination and help establish a makeshift runway near the town where British planes could land in case of Soviet aggression in the region. The crew equipped themselves and met at the Tehran airport to fly to Tabriz and then go via convoy to Marand.
An hour-and-a-half into the flight, a strange weather system developed to the northwest. The pilot revved up the engines to gain as much altitude and speed as he could. Wilson-Davies as co-pilot and navigator plotted a northeasterly course to outflank the approaching storm that took them deeper into the Elburz Mountains. The freakish storm was too fast for the Ford Tri-Motor 4-AT-B to outrun and before long, the "tin goose" was shaking, rattling and bouncing furiously in the battering winds and flashing thunder.
A lightning strike tore through the starboard engine and knocked it out of commission. Doe struggled to keep control of the plane but the winds were too strong. Thanks to his expert piloting skills, however, he managed to evade crashing headlong into a mountain peak, but the summit's rocks ripped a large hole into the plane's fuselage. The hit knocked Mae into the airplane's ceiling and was ruffed up and bruised. The other passengers managed to keep themselves safe. The plane however, was out of control and plummeted to the mountain below. Doe and Wilson -Davis, stabilized the plane just before hitting the ground, but the mountain ripped off the starboard landing gear sending the plane to into a sideway crash.
Wing Commander Doe suffered a severe head wound and was unconscious, but besides the bruised and battered Thelma Mae, the rest of the crew seemed in good shape. It was as dark as night outside besides only being noon. Cook and Davies found a flashlight and went outside to survey the damage and make sure the plane was not in danger of going up in flames. Discarding the threat of an explosion, the crew waited out the storm inside the plane.
After the storm, O'brien tended to Bob Doe's wounds and managed to bring him back to consciousness. Cook took a closer look at the plane's damage. The fuselage was badly damaged and their supplies had fallen out of the plane. The starboard engine was damaged but repairable with the right parts as was the starboard landing gear. The radio, however, was burnt out from the lightning strike. The crew waited until nightfall and Wilson-Davies used a sextant to get their exact position. Using the plane's navigational maps, he found that they were about eight to ten miles away from the small mountain village of Masouleh.
In the morning, Mae attempted to scavenge for food, but there was nothing to be found at this elevation. The crew tightened their belts and started their trek down the mountain to reach the town. Although hazardous and treacherous, the crew managed to make decent headway down the mountain. Around mid-day they heard the sound of distant wolves but were unable to determine their location or distance. They reached the tree line after several hours of travel and rest of the day went by uneventfully. Tired and hungry, the group managed to start a fire, set camp and draw up a guard order.
Right before sunrise, a large Worg leaped into the camp intent on securing an early breakfast. Alistair Cook was on watch however and had noticed the movement in the surrounding woods. As the Worg leapt to tear him apart, the mild mannered, introverted scientist, leveled his pistol and shot the giant beast between the eyes; dropping him with one shot. "My father taught me to shoot and hunt as a boy," he explained to the dumbfounded group.
After feasting on Worg meat, the group set out once again. By early afternoon they spotted the town in the distance. However, the area seemed deserted and overgrown. The group found the village abandoned. The buildings showed signs of not having been inhabited for years. The group searched the town and empty buildings and concluded that the people had left in a hurry. It took several hours, but the crew managed to find supplies to repair the airplane: sheet metal, a weld machine, a car hood, wiring and the like. The group was uneasy however after finding clawed footprints in the snow of what appeared to be bi-pedal humanoids. As sundown approached the group did not think it safe to travel in the mountains with the supplies, so they established a perimeter and settled in the abandoned mosque in the center of town.
Around 3 AM while O'Brien was on watch, he heard a sound of shuffling feet outside the mosque. He looked through one of the holes in the walls and saw grayish skinned creatures with glowing red eyes, black ooze dripping from their fangs and claws. The creatures broke into the room from all directions. Some crashed through the walls, footsteps could heard from upstairs, others clawed their way from the ground. Heavily outnumbered the group did their best to hold their ground against the creatures. Getty was nearly grabbed while he slept but managed to leap out of the creatures' grasp just in time. The near death experience was too much for him and his eyes widened in panic and terror. Mae let out a deafening horror-filled shriek that made everyone's hair stand on end, but she fired her gun at one of the approaching fiends. The creature exploded in a cacophony of blood and gore; bathing Mae and others with bodily fluids and guts. Mae was traumatized and ran toward the barricaded exit. The wing commander was badly wounded by surrounding ghouls. Wilson-Davis moved upstairs to prevent attacks from above. Getty, terrorized by the score of ghouls pouring into the room, stabbed wildly at the beasts with a makeshift wooden spear. O'brien and Cook were surrounded, and fired their pistols. Dead ghouls exploded in a storm of blood and gore as they died, but they badly outnumbered the party. Cook was knocked down by three ghouls, his screams drowned by the sound of the ghouls feeding on his flesh. Wilson-Davis opened up from the stairs with his machine pistol after he killed the ghouls pouring from upstairs. He killed the three ghouls feeding on Cook, but it was too late-Cook had already been ripped to pieces.
The terrified Mae managed to remove the barricade from the door and fled outside and was confronted by two ghouls. In her terror, she managed to evade their attacks and after a brief confrontation managed to kill the fiends. O'brien took care of the ones surrounding him, and just as quickly as it had begun, the body of twelve ghouls laid on the ground dead.
The group rested until sunrise as best they could and made their way safely back to the airplane. They repaired the plane as best they could and made it safely to Tabriz.

Watch: Nash Edgerton's Dark and Hilarious Short Film 'Bear' Starring Teresa Palmer
Ever since we first watched this short at the Sundance Film Festival two years ago we've been itching for the day it finally arrived online. Once again proving that Nash Edgerton (brother of Joel) is a filmmaker we desperately need to see more from, Bear follows in the footsteps of Edgerton's other shorts in that it has a dark and wicked sense of humor about it.
We won't give too much away except for setting the 11-minute movie up by saying it's about a guy who goes a little too much out of his way to surprise his girlfriend, played by Teresa Palmer, who you can conveniently see in theaters this weekend in the movie Warm Bodies.
Check it out below.
Edgerton, who primarily works in stunts with a bit of acting, is said to be inching closer to his second feature film by adapting his own short Lucky, which you can watch below. The status of the Lucky feature as of today is unknown.

The National Patient Experience Survey, which was conducted during the month of May 2017, and reported on today by the HSE, Department of Health and HIQA, confirms that once patients are admitted to hospital they are, for the most part, very positive when commenting on care they receive. However, their main criticisms relate to delays in accessing services and treatment.
The majority of those who commented clearly outlined staffing and understaffing as a visible problem within the acute hospital services. One example captures the sentiment, "nurses and doctors are doing their utmost to provide care to the best of their ability in poor conditions regarding staffing levels. One poor nurse is expected to provide care to 13 patients on her own. Management need sorting out."
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has, over the last decade, raised the consequences, of the reduction by over 3,000 full time equivalents (FTEs) of the employment figures for nurses and midwives since 2007. As recently as September the INMO was advised that the HSE had only managed to build the nursing/midwifery workforce by 13 whole time equivalents (WTEs) since December 2016.
The problem is no longer confined to recruitment. The problem is very clearly, and firmly, the inability to retain staff once recruited. The INMO's position is that without real improvement to pay of nurses and midwives this problem will not go away and next year's survey will be saying exactly the same thing.
Speaking this evening INMO General Secretary Designate Phil Ni Sheaghdha said:
"This survey was conducted in May, at a time where the number of patients on trolleys was at 8,154. That figure has now increased by 534 and at the end of November 8,688 were awaiting beds, on wards, in our acute hospitals. Clearly the waiting for services and treatment is now more pronounced.
The INMO welcomes the confirmation that nurses/midwives and doctors continue to work in very difficult situations but do their best and treat everyone with dignity and respect. This is reiterated throughout the survey and is important for those that work in these very difficult circumstances to hear this affirmation from the public."

Synopsis by Mark Deming
Can death be a good career move? The star of Bio-Dome, Jury Duty, and In the Army Now decides to find out in this satirical comedy. Pauly Shore (playing himself) takes a role on a new situation comedy series for FOX TV after a string of awful movies puts paid to his film career, but when the show is axed at the last moment, Shore finds himself flat broke and unable to find work in Hollywood. At the end of his rope, one night Shore is visited by the ghost of comic Sam Kinison, who suggests that killing himself might be the answer. Shore lacks the nerve to go quite that far, but he goes half-way by faking his own death and is amazed to discover an outpouring of post-mortem enthusiasm for him and his body of work, with the dead comic now praised as a genius; however, as Shore tries to figure out how to capitalize on this outpouring of acceptance, word begins to spread that the comic is actually alive and well, which only causes more problems for him. Produced under the title You'll Never Wiez In This Town Again, Pauly Shore Is Dead was written and directed by Shore himself and features an impressive list of celebrity cameos including Chris Rock, Sean Penn, Ellen DeGeneres, Britney Spears, Vince Vaughn, Andy Dick, Paris Hilton, and lots more.

BOSTON -- It was just one game, and there tends to be over-reaction when it comes to such lopsided playoff outcomes, but it's hard to picture the Bruins playing much better than they did in a 4-1 victory Wednesday over the Maple Leafs in Game 1 at TD Garden.
Boston slogged through a rough final month and a half of the regular season, which cost them the Northeast Division and No. 2 seed in the East, but you wouldn't know it by the way they performed with the bright lights of the postseason fixed on them.

"We've been playing better lately," noted Bruins head coach Claude Julien, "so we want to be rewarded. We felt crisp and ready, we played a solid game."
They looked like the confident Stanley Cup champion from two years ago while Toronto (in its first playoff game in nine years) appeared to be in way over their heads.
The Maple Leafs actually scored first, James van Riemsdyk's power-play goal on a tap in 1:54 into the contest could have been deflating for the B's. Instead, they rallied for two goals later in the first period then added another pair in the second for one of their best all-around games of the season.
"It's good to get the first win under our belts," said Bruins center Gregory Campbell. "We feel like we've got something to prove (after getting bounced in the first round by Washington last season). We haven't been playing our game for a while, it's a different brand of hockey in the playoffs: faster and more physical. That's the type of game that we thrive in."
The Bruins are at their best when all their players are contributing in one way or another. Four different guys scored goals for Boston while David Krejci (1 goal, 2 assists), Milan Lucic (2 assists) and Wade Redden (1 goal, 1 assist) all had multiple points. Redden tied it with a shot that trickled past James Reimer (36 saves) then he assisted on Horton's tip in with 11 seconds left in the first which completely shifted the momentum for Boston.
After Krejci's turnaround goal midway through the second and a bomb from Johnny Boychuk, the rout was on. The B's are experienced enough to know that the Maple Leafs will definitely come out playing like a different team on Saturday (7 p.m., NESN) for Game 2.
"We look at it as a new season," admitted Krejci. "We have to regroup, we know there is a long way to go."
Tuukka Rask (19 saves) wasn't called on much as Boston outshot Toronto 40-20 and easily could have won by four or five goals since Tyler Seguin hit the crossbar and Lucic missed a rebound from a few feet away.

There's a certain irony in Tiger Woods being both golf's greatest attraction and the player most masterful at sucking the drama out of an event with his brilliance. Which is exactly what Woods did Saturday at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.
Woods' 5-under-par 67, putting him at 18-under 198, turned a two-man race into a runaway across the TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral Golf Club and Resort. His four-shot lead on Graeme McDowell (14-under 202) ties the Doral record for largest 54-hole lead and is two strokes larger than any 54-hole lead he has lost. Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker will take up the chase from five back at 13-under 203.
Woods' cloak of Sunday invincibility might be a decade dusty, but he set a 54-hole personal best with 24 birdies, seven of which came Saturday. His previous best? Twenty-two twice, once in 2005 at Doral, the first of his three consecutive wins here.
After three bogeys in the first 18 holes, Woods bogeyed only three holes in the next 36. And one of those counts as the kind of Warner Bros. cartoon bad luck that seems to defy physics (we'll get to that later).

"I'm pleased at how clean the cards have been this week," Woods said. "This golf course was pretty gentle the first few days. Guys were making a bunch of birdies out here. I wasn't the only one. But I obviously made a few mistakes here and there."
Here's what might dishearten the field: McDowell played near perfect golf the first 10 holes Saturday and but for an eagle and a tree, he would be six or seven behind going into Sunday.
McDowell provided the eagle, a chip-and-roll out of the rough behind the green on the par-4 16th. That propelled him to 14-under, leapfrogging both Stricker and Mickelson. Then, Woods tee shot on the par-4 No. 17 somehow landed in a palm tree just perfectly that it wouldn't come down.
He said he knew he had treed his tee shot when, "Galleries, media, officials, markers, everybody was just pointing up in the tree. And it got to a point where I was probably about, maybe 60 yards away, and I could see the ball in the tree, identified with binoculars and saw my line on the ball. I took a drop and, unfortunately, it wasn't the lie I needed to play the shot. I hit a hell of a shot just to keep it on the green."
Woods bogeyed that hole while McDowell had yet another tap-in par. He had too many of those on the day to keep pace with Woods. McDowell closed with a tap-in par on No. 18, but that didn't come tinged with disappointment. It followed a brave try at an 85-foot birdie putt that, as Woods said, could have wound up off the green if McDowell hadn't been so precise.
Then Woods drained a 16-footer for birdie to restore his four-shot lead.
"I piped a tee shot down there, hit a little 9-iron there and was able to pour that putt in there," Woods said.
"I played as good as I could the first 10 holes," McDowell said. "I left a lot of putts out there, though. I made some nice ones, and I missed some makeable ones. And Tiger played fantastic."
The day began with McDowell making eagle on No. 1 while Woods birdied it, starting their separation from the rest of the field. Woods birdied the first three holes to take a two-shot lead to the par-3 fourth hole. He saved par with a 19-foot putt that brought a vintage Woods' fist punch that would have knocked down Anderson Silva the way he knocked down the putt.
"I probably would've missed that putt if I hadn't seen G-Mac's," Woods said. "The grain is coming off the right, but the wind is coming off the left. I could see his putt get hung up by the wind a little bit, and it just didn't break. It just didn't move through probably the last six, eight feet. I adjusted my read, moved it down a little bit and thought the wind might hold it. I hit the putt and the wind held it perfectly."
Woods bogeyed No. 5 and McDowell birdied No. 6 to even things at 15-under. Meanwhile, the rest of the field, led at that moment by Charl Schwartzel, sat at 12-under.
Separation in the lead twosome came quickly. Woods birdied the par-5 eighth after sticking his approach from 121 yards to inside three feet. That one shot-lead became two when Woods birdied the par-5 10th and McDowell lipped out his birdie putt after reaching the green in two.
After that, McDowell said he "lost my way a little bit for four or five holes," allowing Woods to build the lead McDowell finally cut into on No. 16.
McDowell expressed hope more blustery conditions Sunday might make Woods accessible. That's where the rest of the field is going into Sunday —hoping for help from Mother Nature.
"If you're coming from behind, it's always nice to have tougher conditions," Woods said. "But also, when you've got the nice lead, it's nice to have tougher conditions and you can make a bunch of pars. We'll see how this golf course is playing [Sunday]. We'll see how much water they put on it and how fiery it is."
