Abraham1 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 14 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Doha Delivery - http://doha-delivery.com
We're setting up an aggregate website that will list all the delivery restaurants in Doha Qatar and eventually allow people to order on-line.
We are two entrepreneurs who ended up in Qatar via our wives' jobs and we're looking to help move the economy forward by starting knowledge based businesses (which Doha currently has a dirth of).
This e-business is just the first of many low-hanging fruit we see potential for here in Qatar (and the greater Gulf region).
Our customers will be ex-pats from around the world and local Qataris.
The site will also be offered in English and Arabic so we will need a design that can go back and forth between the two languages without losing formatting.
Also, the majority of our users will not speak either language particularly well, so we want the design to emphasize the visual and be easily understood by the user as well as culturally pleasing to a wide variety of cultures.
Doha is moving towards ultra-modernity at break-neck speed, but thee-business space is vastly under-served.
Many websites in the Gulf Region are poorly designed and we want to stand out as a vanguard - an e-business that is helping move Doha from an energy/construction based economy to the knowledge economy they want to be.
This site should make users feel like they are in an amazing, modern city.
We need a fluid template design that is beautiful, yet bold but also simple and very clean. The intent of our home page is to get users to search for restaurants, so we're looking for a home page that gets people using the site as quickly as possible (think Google). (No sheet/background combinations)
The home-page should have a simple white background, with a header and logo at the top and a search bar smack in the middle of the page. Users will be able to search for restaurants by name, cuisine or location. An additional menu ("About Us", etc...) should be elegantly put on the page, where the options are easily found but not intrusive or confusing. There should also be a log-on module and Web 2.0 icons, also elegantly built into the page.
There are three primary follow on pages we're looking for:
1. Restaurant Search Results
2. Restaurant Details
3. Restaurant Menu
Color themes we're looking for are going to be earth tones- except we want our primary color to be the color of the Qatar flag. It's a type of burgundy. So we're looking for Burgundy, with reds/deep purples/greys and maybe hints of yellow and orange.
To get an idea of where we're going you can look at our current site: doha-delivery.com.
Our site is hosted externally at Siteground.com and we use a Joomla CMS for which we are building our own components. So the template needs to work with Joomla.

Declining stocks and a (hopefully) recovering economy could bring an uptick in demand for cotton in the new marketing year that began Aug. 1, says Gary Adams, vice president for economics and policy analysis at the National Cotton Council.
"We expect to see global stocks decline further in the 2009 marketing year, with the stocks-to-use ratio in the U.S. tightening a bit more to about 30 percent and the world ratio to about 50 percent," he said at the joint annual meeting of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and the Delta Council's Ginning and Cotton Quality Improvement Committee.
"As we get out a year from now, we'll be looking at 4 million to 5 million bales of stocks, and we can hope that the market will start to realize this tighter U.S. balance sheet. We've seen something of a rally over the past few weeks, despite no bullish fundamental news and no real strengthening in other commodities, so hopefully we're establishing a support level and setting ourselves up for somewhat stronger prices as we go forward."
The last year has seen "a substantial contraction" in cotton demand, Adams says. A year ago, we were expecting world mill use of 120 million to 122 million bales; right now, it looks closer to 110 million bales.
"As we go forward, a lot of what occurs in rebuilding cotton demand will depend on what happens in the general economy. I think we can make a case that we're at least testing the bottom in terms of economic recovery.
"We've seen the economy slow in the first and second quarters, but in a couple of months as we get some sense of the third quarter, we're hopeful that we'll see some stabilization. We've had a bit of a rally in the stock market, with the Dow back above 9000, and that is somewhat encouraging that we're beginning to see a bit more confidence in the economy. There are also some encouraging signals in the manufacturing and housing sectors."
A concern continues about consumer spending, which constitutes 70 percent of gross domestic product and has a big impact on overall economic activity, Adams says.
"Consumers remain very nervous, and confidence has been declining over the last couple of months — which indicates recovery could be fairly slow and modest, more of a gradual rebound.
"But, all this points to perhaps a little brighter picture in looking at demand growth for the 2009-10 marketing year compared to 2008-09."
"One of the things to watch as we try to figure out where cotton prices may be going is what happens in other commodity markets. We've backed off the 2008 highs for oil, as well as commodities in general — they're now at about half of year-ago levels."
Projections by the Department of Energy are for a slight increase in crude oil prices, Adams says, "But nothing particularly bullish; I think a lot will depend on how quickly demand recovers. If demand strengthens and economic activity increases, we probably will see some upward pressure on oil prices. We don't see oil returning to historically low prices either, but what it does can influence cotton prices one way or another."
Another influence on the cotton market is the exchange rate for the dollar, he says. "Some analysts feel the big increase we've seen in the money supply in recent months may lead to inflation. But that would likely contribute to a fairly weak dollar, and for an export-oriented commodity such as cotton, that would have a very significant impact on where cotton prices go.
"When the dollar strengthens, we see weakness in cotton prices; when the dollar weakens, we tend to see stronger prices not only for cotton, but other commodities as well.
"Overall, what's happening in the general economy, other commodity markets, and exchange rates, hopefully will translate to better prices for cotton as we move forward."
For the marketing year that just ended, USDA figures show 12.8 million bales of all cotton produced in the U.S., Adams notes. Of that, 3.6 million went to domestic mill use and 13.3 million to exports, with ending stocks of 6 million.
"Looking at the 2008 balance sheet, textile mill use was down 1 million bales from the previous year. But on the positive side, exports were much better than we'd have expected six months ago. There was a time in the 2008 marketing year that USDA was forecasting 11.5 million bales, but things became more bullish as the year went along and we exceeded that by almost 2 million bales.
"The biggest influence there was India, which backed out of the export market; increased support prices above world prices, which made them non-competitive in the world market; and put a lot of their cotton into government stocks.
"They haven't begun to release those stocks yet, so importers have had to look hard at U.S. cotton. While world exports dropped to only 29 million bales for 2008 — 9 million below the previous year — U.S. exports were off only 300,000 bales. So, we actually picked up market share in terms of total trade as a result of India being out of the market."
The U.S. began the 2008 marketing year with 10 million bales in stocks, Adams says. "We had a lot of cotton on hand, but we've now worked stocks down to a much more manageable level."
For 2009, the USDA is reporting 9.05 million acres of cotton planted in the U.S. The Mid-South is down 201,000 acres from 2008, while corn is up 190,000 acres and soybeans up 410,000 acres.
Weather from now on will be a critical factor in what the market does, Adams says.
"South Texas is contending with a severe drought, while many areas of the Mid-South have had too much rain. Most of the rest of the Cotton Belt looks OK on moisture. The overall crop condition across the belt is about the same as a year ago. A lot depends on what happens from this point forward, whether we get timely rains and a normal to late fall to facilitate harvesting.
"We're looking for a 13.2 million- to 13.4 million-bale crop. We've heard estimates as low as 12.5 million and as high as 13.9 million. There's still a lot of uncertainty about what will happen in west Texas, which can introduce a lot of volatility in the market."
Adams says there should be some stabilizing in the U.S. textile industry for the 2009 marketing year, with mill use fairly close to the 2008 level.
"The question is, what will happen with exports? I think the outlook is for us to export fewer bales than in 2008. I don't think we can anticipate another 13 million-bale year; it probably will be more in the range of 11 million to 11.5 million.
"One consideration is that we'll have less available cotton for export. With a 13 million-bale crop and 6 million-bale stocks, that's a total supply of only 19 million bales, compared to 23 million a year ago."
China, the larger user of U.S. cotton, produced 35 million bales last year; this year, it'll probably be around 33 million, Adams says.
"Their textile industry is under pressure, and we expect only a modest recovery in 2009. They may be in position to buy a little more cotton. But they closely control their market and they control import quotas. They're trying to do a balancing act in making cotton available to their textile mills while supporting an internal price to growers at somewhere around 75 cents a pound.
"The question is, who do they buy cotton from?
India has emerged as a significant competitor for U.S. cotton. They only exported about 2 million bales in 2008, but they've got a lot of cotton sitting in stocks. At some point, they have the ability to step in and sell that cotton, but my guess is they'll wait for a price rally. I do think we'll be seeing more exports by India.
"The big question is whether India can return to a 24 million- to 25 million-bale crop, and that's a key item to watch in terms of what the market may do."
Have Mid-South cotton acres finally bottomed?
"Looking at a chart of the ratio of cotton prices to corn and soybean prices, based on prices at planting time, we can see that farmers have been responding to what market signals were telling them in a very decisive, lockstep movement out of cotton into other crops with stronger prices," Adams says.
"If we look at where the December 2010 contracts for cotton, corn, and soybeans are trading right now, the ratio appears a bit more favorable to cotton next year than it was in 2007, 2008, and 2009."
What has happened to the corn market?
"When oil prices were $100-plus per barrel and gas prices $4 or more, ethanol plants could pay high prices for corn," Adams says. "But now, with oil prices less than half of last year's high and ethanol prices down, they don't have that same ability to pay.
"If we stay at $60-$70 oil, I think that will tend to dampen corn prices. The demand side just couldn't sustain that level of prices for corn.
"We're just now getting a more thorough appreciation of the pressure high corn prices have put on the livestock and dairy sectors. The impact on them has been quite severe; they've been chewing through equity, hoping for a recovery, but the expectation is that we're going to see some liquidation of dairy herds later this year, and that could spill over to the livestock sector.
"Going forward, I don't see $4.50 for corn as long term sustainable."
Cottonseed production, based on a projected low around 13 million bales this year, and a normal seed-to-lint turnout ratio, points to 4.4 million to 4.5 million tons of cottonseed, slightly more than 2008, Adams says.
Prices for cottonseed have been in a wide range over the past year — close to $400 a ton for a while, and now in the $200 to $250 range.
"Much of what happens to cottonseed prices will hinge on where corn and soybean prices go. The linkage between these commodities is extremely strong. As grain prices and oilseed prices rally, they tend to pull cottonseed prices along.
"Looking at corn and soybean futures prices for the period ahead, it at least sets up a situation to maintain some strength in cottonseed prices. So much in the outlook for cottonseed depends on where grain and oilseed prices go."

Vintage mixer amp, serviced and ready for action. External effect send, stereo pan pots and great EQ. Great characterful sound when driven.
120v unit (more info below).
We've had several different versions of these 70s/80s Roland mixers come through - these stereo versions of the "rack" configured ones are not common. This one has no built-in effect but has an external send.
Serviced and working well. The pots and switches are fine, though it's possible that some crackle may develop over time, especially when unused - this will usually clear with use. The amp section has not been tested with speakers attached (note you will need a fairly powerful voltage transformer to use it for this purpose - output around 500va).
CONDITION: Excellent with minor signs of age. A few scuffs to the tolex. Handle on the top has been removed. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.
- 120v unit (100v machine that has been switched to 120 operation).
- A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU.
- A 250va unit will work with it unless you are using the internal amp to drive speakers, in which case you will need a 500va one.
- We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.
Tax (VAT)
Some of our gear will have VAT at 20% added in the UK/EU, but a lot of it won't. This should hopefully clarify the situation but if you have any questions then please get in touch.
- These items will have two prices visible: with and without the tax.
- If you are buying in the UK/EU you will receive an invoice showing the tax component.
- If you are buying these items outside the EU when you get to the check out and enter your shipping location you will be charged the ex-VAT price.
- VAT-free sales are also possible to businesses within the EU with a valid VAT number. You will need to contact us in order to buy via this means.
- Much of what we sell is classified as "Second Hand Goods" and so while we still pay some tax, there is no recoverable/deductible component for sales to any part of the world.
- So, the price you see is the price you pay wherever you are.
- Shipping charges are also subject to VAT at 20% within the UK/EU - this is included within the prices you see for shipping to those areas - it is not shown separately in the cart but will be shown on the VAT invoice you receive with your goods.
We are very experienced at packing and shipping valuable and sensitive gear worldwide. Binson Echorecs, large valve amps, vintage synths, rare racks, and even a CS-80 or two - you name it, we've sent it and it has arrived in one piece and ready to play.
We keep it simple: if you buy more than one item you only pay the shipping on the item that has the highest shipping cost. This is the same no matter how many items you buy together (so the more you buy together, the bigger your shipping discount). If you check all the items out all together this will be calculated automatically at checkout. However, if you make an order and then wish to add to it before it ships please get in touch and we will refund the shipping on the item(s) that are cheaper to ship.
Note that this also allows you to purchase add on items such as transformers and other accessories, and also t-shirts and other merch, without paying any extra shipping on them.
CAN I COLLECT MY GEAR (and save on shipping?)
Yes! If you want to use this option either get in touch before you purchase, or contact us afterwards and we will just refund you the shipping. Note that collection is by appointment only and only during weekday office hours.
The shipping prices for our gear vary considerably depending on the type of gear, value and destination. To see shipping costs put the item you are interested in the cart and then either use the shipping estimator or go into the check out process. Or just contact us and we'll tell you what you need to know.
It is a fact that, with vintage items, there are going to be times when gear arrives in need of some adjustment or calibration, and some times a piece of gear that was working 100% just chooses the day after arriving for a new fault to develop. However, having been working with sensitive vintage gear for many years, we are very experienced at dealing with these occurrences and will always work with you and get the problem solved as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Note that we have have not entered automatic shipping for every country. The countries we ship to most often will have shipping rates and we are in the process of adding more shipping fees to the check out process. But if you are looking at an item that doesn't have the fee information you need then please use the contact page or call on +44 1773 856475.
Which carriers do we use?
We usually use Royal Mail, UPS and DPD/Interlink - it depends on the item and destination as to which is the most economical. If you have a preference then we should be able to accommodate it (but we may need to pass on any additional costs) - just let us know what you need.

LONGMONT -- RTD board chairman Lee Kemp pitched the newest FasTracks option to Longmont residents Thursday night: rail to Longmont between 2028 and 2034. Until then, the tracks would reach Church Ranch near Westminster and bus rapid transit would cover the rest.
The response Thursday was simple. Give us guarantees. And give us Louisville.
"Extending rail to Church Ranch does little to stir the hearts of people in Boulder County," said Prue Larson, a member of Longmont's transportation advisory board, during the RTD presentation at the Longmont Senior Center. "If we can get that toehold up in Louisville somehow, this is something we can travel to and implement."
By March 27, the Regional Transportation District plans to make a decision on the Northwest Rail Corridor from Denver to Longmont, the longest and most expensive of the corridors in the FasTracks plan adopted by voters in 2004. Without another sales tax increase, RTD expects to finish the 41-mile route by 2042. With an increase, the district had been mulling three options: keep to the original plan with a rejuvenated schedule, slow down other parts of the plan by six months to speed up the Northwest Corridor, or scrap the corridor entirely and replace it with a bus rapid transit (BRT) system.
The new fourth option still needs voter approval to add sales tax and change the plan. Kemp and Chris Quinn, RTD's project manager for the Northwest Corridor, called it a "hybrid plan" that would let the whole rail line be built in pieces, as funding became available.
Under current estimates, Quinn said, the Church Ranch extension could be done between 2020 and 2022. That would build the first 12 miles of the corridor, while running BRT the rest of the way along both the Diagonal Highway and U.S. Highway 287, though not in a separated center lane.
The original "Option Four," introduced last week, had no dates for getting rail service to Longmont. Since then, Kemp said, RTD has been able to talk with the BNSF railroad about getting the service together in increments.
"It still gets the northwest rail completed," Kemp said. But several on the Longmont City Council had their doubts.
"What guarantee is RTD willing to give to communities along the Northwest Corridor that this is going to be completed in 2028 or 2034?" Councilman Gabe Santos said. "If those dates aren't met, do we get a refund? Do we get 'BRT-Plus?'"
"If we're getting married and you want to re-up our nuptials, we want a ring!" Councilman Brian Bagley said to laughter from the audience.
Councilman Alex Sammoury said he'd heard too many proposed end dates to be confident in any of them.
"What I've heard from my constitutents is they will not support an increased tax if they don't believe they'll see rail in a reasonable time," he said.
"I want to be clear," Kemp responded to him. "Rail is going to get to Longmont. Rail is going to get to Longmont. But ..."
"There can't be 'buts,' Lee," Santos said. "You say 2028 to 2034. I want to see that in black and white."
The counter-proposal from several transportation board members would push the corridor eight more miles to its first Boulder County station. With the line reaching downtown Louisville, board member Jeff Ilseman said, no RTD bus would have to use U.S. 36 or Interstate 25 to get people to Denver, and a BRT feeder system to that station could be cheaper than the current routes from Boulder County to Denver. Meanwhile, Longmont's planned $17 million station could be built to give a train-like BRT experience, he said, with indoor ticketing and loading, as well as walking directly on to and off of buses without using steps.
That all sounded good to resident Judy Lubow, who said she thought Longmont had been at the back of the line long enough.
"It's not intended that the northwest line is always going to be last," Kemp said.
"It's not intended, but it's what's happened," she responded.
Kemp said he wasn't certain whether an extension to Louisville could be built without passing a point of no return, when the full corridor would need to be double-tracked to accommodate BNSF's frieght lines. That's one of the expenses driving the line's $1.7 billion cost.
RTD's FasTracks monitoring committee will recommend an option Tuesday to be considered by the RTD board March 27.
Both the council and the audience echoed one sentiment over and over again: without a guarantee of rail, Longmont couldn't guarantee a "yes" vote for a new tax in November.
"I am willing to help pass another tax issue -- if I'm getting rail," resident Marilyn Hughes said. "I've talked to a lot of taxpayers and what I'm hearing is 'Give me rail or give me death!'"Scott Rochat can be reached at 303-684-5220 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It was just yesterday that Itsdagram, the first fully-featured Instagram app (albeit unofficial) for Windows Phone 8, became available. Even though the app was beta tested by a small group, some bugs did get through that hampered some user experiences. Luckily, those have been fixed.
Version 1.1.5 has just gone live in the Store and it should fix some regional issues that some were having (namely, regions where commas are used instead of periods) has been addressed and the overall app has been bumped to essentially what current beta testers are using.
That version includes an updated UI (you can now like from the feed view directly, in addition to comments), general performance improvements and we here a filter update will be pushed over-the-air tonight at some point too.
Considering Itsdagram is so high profile (just about 12K downloads in one day), it's great to see a rapid turnaround on bug fixes, allowing you folks to begin to participate on the Instagram network.
Head here to the Store to get the latest version of Itsdagram (free, limited trial; $1.49). Windows Phone 8 only (Windows Phone 7.x is planned).

(Reuters) - Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher praised the tactics of under-fire manager David Moyes and angrily dismissed suggestions that the presence of former boss Alex Ferguson at matches was hampering the inconsistent team.
Defending champions United returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home victory over Swansea City on Saturday after three straight 2-1 defeats in league and cup action.
The victory over the side they lost at home to in the FA Cup last week came after Moyes made a tactical move at halftime, with Shinji Kagawa and Adnan Januzaj switching roles which resulted in a 47th minute goal for Antonio Valencia.
"He felt we could get down the left and made a subtle change by moving Adnan out there and Shinji in behind the striker," Fletcher told Manchester United TV of his manager's ploy.
"He also told us to raise the tempo, press a little bit quicker in their half and not let them get into their rhythm of passing the ball because they are one of the best passing teams in the league.
"We knew the right back was on a yellow card so that (moving Januzaj to left wing) was an opportunity to get at him because he couldn't give away too many fouls or else he would run the risk of getting a red card."
Former boss Ferguson was not in the crowd to see the victory at Old Trafford sealed when Danny Welbeck scored in the 59th minute but he did watch the loss to Swansea and Capital One Cup semi-final first leg defeat at Sunderland from the stands.
Ferguson has been a keen spectator at United games this season since retiring after 27 years at the helm in May but fellow Scot Fletcher dismissed media suggestions that the former manager's attendance at matches was putting on unfair pressure.
"It gets us angry because we know it is not true," he said.
Moyes was equally dismissive of the suggestion.
"It tells you that people don't know me, they don't know Sir Alex. People are only saying it because they have no idea about how it works," Moyes told the club's channel.
"Sir Alex has been fantastic, incredibly supportive, he's only there to help me. I have a conversation with him when I need it. I tend to see him for a minute or two after the games, we'll have a chat and I've found him great."
Ferguson might travel to London to watch United take on title chasing Chelsea on Sunday with similar doubts about strike duo Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie making the trip.
"A chance," Moyes said of Rooney's chances of recovering from an abductor injury in time to play.
"Less of a chance," was the view of Van Persie's struggles with a thigh injury.
A fifth win in six league games should provide some relief from the relentless criticism and evaluation of the former Everton manager's fledgling Old Trafford tenure but an away success at Chelsea would really help sway the detractors.
Brazilian fullback Rafael da Silva, whose twin brother Fabio was sent off minutes after coming on against Sunderland, said the criticism of Moyes was misplaced.
"We are the ones who have to take the responsibility," he was quoted as saying by British media after the Swansea win.
"We have to show, like we did in the second half. I don't know why everyone is looking at the manager. It is the players who have to do the job on the pitch.
"We are together. We knew there would be a change. The manager had just left after 27 years. It was always going to be hard. We have to take the mentality David Moyes has given us and use it on the pitch."

What's Included:
- (1) Alibi 2.1 megapixel HD-TVI 1080P 65′ IR indoor dome camera
- (1) Set of mounting hardware
- (1) Quickstart guide
Key Features:
Megapixel Resolution – Cover more area and see more detail. Megapixel cameras can cover a larger area without compromising image quality. Megapixel resolution cameras deliver high-definition images with much greater detail. They are ideal where a greater level of detail is needed, such as for facial recognition and license plate identification.
HD-TVI Technology – High-definition video over coax. HD-TVI sends zero latency 720p or 1080p full HD video over RG59 coax cabling. HD-TVI cameras and DVRs offer the advantages of HD resolution video, but are as easy to install as standard analog CCTV equipment. HD-TVI enables longer cable runs for long distance installations, with transmission distances of up to 1600' over RG59 coax cables.
Wide Angle Lens – Cover more area. The camera lens's wide field of view enables it to cover a larger area than a standard lens and provides greater depth of field, along with better low light performance.
Smart IR – Capture clear, sharp images in low light. Smart IR (smart infrared) automatically adjusts the amount of infrared light used to illuminate a scene as the subject moves closer to or further away from the camera, resulting in optimal exposure and a sharp, clear image that is neither washed out or too dark.
Back Light Compensation (BLC) – Ensures proper exposure of subjects in the foreground. Back light compensation adjusts the camera's exposure in challenging lighting environments, such as hallways and doorways, so the entire image of the subject in the foreground is properly exposed when there is a bright light soured behind the subject.
Auto White Balance – Produces true whites and accurate colors. This feature automatically determines the optimal light level in a scene. It removes inaccurate color to produce an image in which the white areas are truly white—in digital video. Without AWB, white areas in an image may appear with a blue, orange, or green tint.
True Day/Night (ICR) – Enjoy around-the-clock surveillance. Our day/night cameras with true day/night (ICR) deliver a sharp image in low light and nighttime conditions. An IR cut filter blocks out infrared light to produce true-to-life color images during the daytime. In low light conditions and at night, the filter is removed, letting infrared light pass through to provide crisp, well-defined black and white images.
OSD Control Over Coax – Easy control of your camera OSD settings. This device offers easy adjustment of your camera OSD settings over coax cabling, eliminating the need for running an additional data cable.
Alibi 3-Year Blanket Warranty. No asterisks, no exceptions. Our Alibi 3-Year Blanket Warranty covers your entire purchase – including, camera and recorder hardware and components, monitors, accessories and pre-installed hard drives. If you have an issue, we provide unlimited technical support – and manage all returns and exchanges directly, minimizing unnecessary downtime.

Guild Hall will revisit the much praised and beloved photography of Fritz Leddy on Saturday with the opening of "Fritz Leddy, Part 2," a new selection from the more than 2,000 negatives the former East Hampton Village police chief left behind in the basement of the department, and which were found in 1999.
Doug Kuntz, who organized and printed the first show, has once again taken on those duties and is guest curator. He will lead a gallery talk on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. before the 5 p.m. public reception for that show and three others that Guild Hall will open the same evening (see related article on C4).
The photographs were taken with a large-format 4-by-5 negative camera, from 1937 to 1968. Some of the favorite images from the last show from 2006 will be featured along with many new ones.
Mr. Kuntz, a former photo editor for The East Hampton Star, said the negatives were found in envelopes, "a lot of them had the date, place, and named some of the people. Some just said Main Street and a date." Although the negatives were mostly well organized, much of the identification and a few corrections came from the hundreds of people who saw the last show. "There was a book in the gallery and some people would identify a whole group of 25 people. They wrote every name out in longhand."
Mr. Leddy was born in Red Bank, N.J., in 1906. He followed his father, Harry Leddy, to East Hampton in 1929 as part of a security firm. He became a special patrolman for the Police Department in 1932 and was named chief five years later. He took a leave of absence to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1950 to 1952 and then returned to East Hampton, becoming the first head of the village's detective division in 1968. He retired the next year and continued to enjoy photography as well as golf, gardening, and nature in the years before his death at his Cove Hollow house in 1987.

text: If you want to restyle your home why not do so in a way that's functional and stylish as well as simple and affordable? These peel and stick tiles take the simplicity and ease of traditional WallPops and apply the concept to a thicker more durable material specifically designed for the challenges of being in a kitchen or bathroom. Made for the most active rooms in a home, these tiles are waterproof, heat resistant, humidity resistant and best of all easy to clean. Able to be applied and repositioned in two easy steps, peel and stick, these tiles are a great way to completely remodel a room or just add a small accent. Unlike standard ceramic tiles, these heavyweight vinyl tiles are pliable enough to be hand cut into any shape desirable (great for awkward corners or craft projects) but durable enough to hold to and protect walls. The one thing they lack is the hefty price tag that comes with ceramic tiles. Cost efficient and easy to use why not make that design change you've been waiting for?

About 60 church youth group members from St. Philip Catholic Church in Franklin, Tenn., were in town last week to lend a hand to families in Beaufort and Jasper counties.
Youth minister Deepan Rajaratnam helped about five youth group members rip up outdoor carpeting, power wash a house, and paint during their stay in Bluffton. Homeowner Sharon Ellis was grateful for the teenagers' hard work.
Ellis grew up in Bluffton and then left for a career in Atlanta, but moved back to help her father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about three years ago. In need of a plumber, Ellis visited Bluffton Self Help to see if she could find someone to fix a few items around her father's home. She was then directed to the United Way of the Lowcountry's Catholic HEART Work Camp program.
"They told me about this camp where youth come in and help with repairs or yard work. I thought it was a great idea because I really support the youth getting involved in the community," Ellis said. "It's a very inspiring experience to see kids doing something positive."
Ellis connected with United Way of the Lowcountry's director of resource development, Bethany Marcinkowski, who visited the home and asked Ellis what help was needed.
The group from St. Philip Catholic Church arrived last Sunday with about 350 other students from around the nation. For the 15th year, United Way of the Lowcountry helped better the community through the Catholic HEART Work Camp program.
The purpose of the camp is for campers to lend a hand with helping improve life for families in need. While visiting, the campers, 100-plus adult leaders and five local volunteers worked together on about 55 projects. Work ranged from yard work and minor repairs to installing handicap ramps.
The Catholic HEART (Helping Everyone Attain Repairs Today) Work Camp program allows for students to give back and volunteer in different communities. Students were housed at the Hardeeville School Complex and worked from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day through Thursday.
"The young people do simple home repairs - painting, yard work, cleaning, repairing screens, and anything else that is difficult for an elderly or handicapped person to accomplish. It's a wonderful group of kids who have their hearts in the right place," said Marcinkowski.
Seven-member teams, each with an adult leader, were assigned to in the Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Hardeeville and Ridgeland areas. Rajaratnam said he has been involved with the camp since he was a teenager.
"It's amazing to see the transformation of the house we help repair, but also the transformation the youth make," Rajaratnam said. "The kids receive a new outlook on serving and living out the gospel."
The camp costs about $300 per camper which helps offset food and gas expenses but also supply paint and other essential tools needed during the week.
Ezugo Offor, St. Philip Catholic church youth member, was inspired by his sister to attend the camp.
"She's really the person in my family who is dedicated to our faith and I really look up to her so I decided to attend the camp to better my faith," Offor said. "I hope to take a sense of being more grateful and learn how to help others in need and show them my faith."

Roughly two dozen films emerged from Westlake's novels or involved screenplay work by the man himself. But only two -- 1967's "Point Blank," based on the first novel he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Stark, and Westlake's adaptation of Jim Thompson's "The Grifters" (1990) -- are clear standouts. Both films, oddly, were done by British directors (John Boorman and Stephen Frears, respectively) well out of the Hollywood mainstream.
"When you read the books, your superficial sense of them is that they're totally movie-ready," said Terrence Rafferty, a veteran film critic who's written for the New Yorker and GQ. But adaptations of Westlake's work, he said, range mostly from not very good to the "train wreck" that is 2001's "What's the Worst That Can Happen?" and the "absolutely dreadful" case of 1974's "Bank Shot."
Otto Penzler, Westlake's longtime friend and publisher, calls the author's Hollywood career "erratic." He sees it as "mostly bad luck. There were a couple of good films, but they were mostly lousy." Penzler has a special disdain for the 1982 Gary Coleman vehicle "Jimmy the Kid."
The issue of Westlake's Hollywood legacy is worth pondering now, after the novelist's death, at age 75, of a heart attack on New Year's Eve. Next week, the first-ever film adaptation of Westlake's work, "Made in USA," opens at the Nuart Theatre in West Los Angeles, more than four decades after it was made.
And that movie highlights another irony: The film, well regarded by the few who have seen it, was directed by Jean-Luc Godard, who is, of course, a Frenchman.
It makes you wonder, Why was it so hard for Hollywood to get Westlake right?
So many attempts
Westlake, who spent most of his life in and around New York City, was admired not just by noir-heads like Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, but by highbrow novelists like Ireland's John Banville as well. Over a career that spanned five decades, he wrote all kinds of novels, including science fiction and espionage, under a host of pen names to mask his prodigiousness.
But Westlake's major work breaks down into two main series: The comic-heist novels he wrote under his own name, featuring the luckless protagonist John Dortmunder, and the grim, austere Parker novels -- written under the pseudonym Richard Stark -- about an ultra-violent, emotionless hitman with his own rigid code of personal ethics.
"They're so plot-driven," said Penzler of the Parker books. "And what a great character -- there are very few professional crooks in literature who you don't relate too but you sort of root for, because he has this kind of bizarre integrity."
Many film adaptations of Westlake's novels, both in the U.S. and Europe, have come from the Stark novels. The writer himself described those books, which began with 1962's "The Hunter," as "stripped down and bleak, no adverbs. . . . The name will be 'Stark' to remind me what we're doing here."
Godard's "Made in USA," which uses the Stark novel "The Jugger," about Parker looking into the death of a safecracker, as a jumping-off point, was still close enough to the book that the film was legally tied up for decades over a permission dispute. Despite being the first Westlake adaptation, the 1966 film is only just now -- thanks to the author's agreement -- getting an American release.
It also stands to date as perhaps the most eccentric film ever made from the novelist's work, in part because an actress (Anna Karina) plays the ultra-macho Parker. The film follows her as she seeks answers about the death of her lover in a French-speaking Atlantic City populated by philosophical hoods and singing waifs.
According to actor László Szabó, who plays a corrupt cop in "Made in USA," Westlake's novel was not on the actors' minds much during the shoot. "Jean-Luc just gave us eight to 10 pages of writing," which the actor thinks ensured that the author would not overpower the auteur.
"It was an oddball film even for Godard," Westlake told Variety in 2004.
That movie was followed a year later by Boorman's "Point Blank," which concerns Parker -- here called "Walker" -- rising virtually from the dead after being betrayed by his wife and partner. The next Stark film was the 1968 blaxploitation movie "The Split" -- appropriate since some of Stark's earliest supporters were black men who may have responded to the protagonist's outsider status -- starring NFL great Jim Brown.
In a filmed interview called "The Hunter," the author pointed out that three very different actors played his antihero in the first three films -- Karina in Pop art dresses for "Made in USA," Lee Marvin in a '60s suit for "Point Blank" and the rugged Brown for "The Split."
As Westlake recalled: "A friend of mine said, 'So far, Parker's been played by a white guy, a black guy and a woman. I think the character lacks definition.' "
For many, it was Marvin who captured Parker's style perfectly. "Lee Marvin was the perfect Westlake actor," Rafferty said. "Impassive and a serious man." (Boorman, oddly, claimed never to have read the novel, "The Hunter," that his celebrated film was based on.)
It's the role Mel Gibson played in "Payback," the 1999 Brian Helgeland movie also based on "The Hunter," a film that many thought made Parker (who in the film is called "Porter") seem too sympathetic -- something that doesn't work with this kind of amoral killer.
Westlake himself, interestingly, called Robert Duvall, who played Parker (called "Macklin") in "The Outfit," the 1973 adaptation of the third Stark novel, "perhaps the closest to Parker. What Lee Marvin did was a wonderful destroyed Lee Marvin. What Robert Duvall did was a wonderful, terse, taciturn Parker."
His screenwriting
Westlake's other series protagonist, Dortmunder, hasn't fared much better on the big screen; the one exception being the Robert Redford-starring, William Goldman-adapted "The Hot Rock" from 1972. According to Rafferty, part of the problem is that Hollywood filmmakers were often too quick to soften the "cool, very dry, fatalistic" Westlake tone.
Penzler, who is also the editor of "The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps," has another theory on why adaptations of Westlake weren't more successful.
"The screenwriter they should have hired for all these was Westlake himself. Look at what he did with 'The Grifters.' "
But Westlake's screenwriting career was a mixed success at best. He wrote the well-regarded 1987 horror film "The Stepfather," about a homicidal suburban dad, starring "Lost's" Terry O'Quinn. "The Grifters' " critical and box-office success and Westlake's Oscar nomination for his work in the film made him popular in Hollywood, but his movie career never caught fire. He worked on the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" but did not receive screenwriting credit, and he co-wrote the script for 2005's "Ripley Under Ground."
The author said: "If I write a novel, I'm a god. If I write a screenplay, I'm a minor deity."
"He was a total realist," said Penzler, who said that Westlake loved watching movies and did not expect Hollywood to be a cakewalk. But he was not the kind of writer who liked setting his books aside for long to work on a film. "At the end of the day, he was a novelist."

Travis Doran hails from the glorious land of Bradenton, Florida, and is one of the up and coming wakeskaters whose skills have been cured and sharpened by the likes of Nick Taylor and Stuart Shinn. It shows in a lot of aspects of Travis's riding, such as his explosive pop, fluid style, and unmatched precision on everything. Travis has just this year started competing professionally, and also has been bumped up to "pro" status on the Oak Wakeskates team, joining the likes of Ben Horan, Josh Kirby, and Matt Hooker. No doubt this will only boost his riding to even bigger heights. The way Travis has been riding lately I can tell that his progression is about to go through the roof. He is at that stage where he calls me just about every week telling me all the new tricks he has learned, and he is also a promising winch and rail rider. Travis has been filming with us lately for Fun Boots! and has proved to be both stylie, tech, and incredibly consistent. By now he has some pretty advanced flip tricks and lands them nearly every set. Not only that, but Travis is learning new tricks all the time. And more so than anything, Travis really likes to wakeskate. It's not strange at all for him at my place in Orlando to take something like four sets in a day (and maybe even hit up the cable). He is in the pinnacle of his progression right now and not planning on stopping anytime soon, so keep your eyes out for Travis Doran this year!

One of the issues faced by homeowners' associations and their members is what types of rules and regulations can apply to parking within a community. While parking regulations can help to assure that owners have reasonable parking options available to them, they can also be so restrictive that it is difficult to have guests visit. In addition, in some cases, associations that have exerted too much power in this area have begun issuing hefty fines for parking violations which become further bones of contention within members of the community. This article is a basic overview of the HOA's authority to regulate and enforce parking.
Homeowners who live in communities governed by a homeowners' association (HOA) often run into a unique set of issues to deal with. Whether it is rules and regulations that affect the usage and maintenance of property or difficult neighbors within the community, the potential areas for disputes to arise are plentiful. While many times homeowners are able to amicably resolve issues, there are other times when that is not possible. The question then becomes what is the best way to resolve disputes that arise with a homeowners' association without turning the dispute into expensive, time consuming and stressful litigation.
In a condominium building or planned development, the Homeowners' Association (HOA) and the owners each have different obligations with regard to maintaining, repairing, and replacing different parts of the community. If either the HOA or an individual owner doesn't properly meet those obligations, it can cause problems for that owner, and often for other members of the HOA as well. It's important to understand who is responsible for which elements of the community, and what rights you have if the HOA isn't taking care of its responsibilities.
One of the battles that homeowners living in an HOA community face is how to properly handle situations when the homeowner receives a notice of violation from the homeowners' association. Understanding what the association's board must do in terms of providing adequate notice, what rights a homeowner might have to a hearing and what other processes must be followed by the homeowners' association are important. This article is designed to walk members of an association through the processes involved in rules violations.
As a member of a Homeowners' Association, you probably already know that your community's governing documents include covenants, rules, and restrictions about how you can (and cannot) use your property. If you break these rules, the association may fine you or force you to comply. If you find yourself at the receiving end of an HOA punishment, you'll need to know what your rights are. This article will help you understand "selective enforcement" and how it applies to your homeowners' association and the rules you have to follow.
Homeowner's Associations come with many interesting and different processes for most first time members of an HOA community. An important process members of homeowners' associations have to deal with is the election of a Board of Directors which can be a member's first exposure to corporate law. This article is designed to give a general background on how board members in a homeowners' association are elected and what processes are in place to protect homeowners from problematic board members.
For homeowners living in homeowners' association communities, one of the questions often asked is what happens when HOA rules are ignored? How do homeowners' associations enforce them? Can a homeowners' association fine owners? How can members of the community respond to violation notices of HOA Rules? These are all issues that individuals who reside in communities governed by homeowners' associations and those who are considering purchasing properties in such communities need to carefully consider.
Homeowners' associations typically are formed to manage any property in the community that is owned communally, as opposed to individually, such as a playground or building hallways. Whether an HOA is made up of a condominium building, townhouses, or single-family homes, the responsibilities generally include the same type of tasks – maintain landscaping, employ property managers, maintain shared private roads or driveways, arrange trash removal, operate a swimming pool, and the like. This article will help you better understand the ins and outs of HOA fees.
For Homeowners either living in communities governed by Homeowner's Associations or for those considering buying property located in such communities, how the application of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) might impact the use and enjoyment of any property located in such a community is an important consideration. This article is designed to give homeowners who are part of an HOA community or those who are considering becoming part of a homeowners association a snapshot view on how to address the various concerns that arise with regard to CC&Rs.
The homeowners' association board of directors is the governing body of your community, and can have a significant impact on the lives of those who live there. The board of a homeowners' association is required to hold meetings to conduct the business of the association; the type and frequency of these meetings can vary, and can be confusing. But, members of the association are encouraged to attend most meetings, and to participate when permitted. This article will help you better understand HOA meetings. First, it's important to know that HOAs are governed by the law of the state in which they sit.
The installation of solar panels often leads to discussions about how the solar panels change the look and character of the neighborhood or that they may cause a decrease in property values for the neighborhood. The legal back drop that exists also involves a careful balancing of a homeowner's right to use solar energy and a community's right to control the aesthetics of a neighborhood. The question then becomes who can decide whether a homeowner can install solar panels in an HOA Community and if so, what are the other enforceable rules that might govern the installation and maintenance of such solar panels.
Most HOA's, especially newer ones, are required by their declarations or bylaws to carry one or more forms of insurance. Acquiring the necessary coverage and paying premiums is the board's job, and board-members should take great care to ensure all obligatory coverage remains in place. If anything goes wrong and the association does not have insurance that it's supposed to have, board-members or officers could end up on the hook personally. Many states have laws mandating HOA insurance. There are numerous types of insurance coverage which could potentially benefit an HOA, including the three forms required by the UCIOA: physical damage, general liability, and fidelity insurance.
A district judge in Florida described community associations as "a little democratic sub-society of necessity." And, as with federal, state, and local governments, for the "little sub-society" to function, it needs revenue. Association revenue comes in the form of HOA fees paid by homeowners – the functional equivalent of property taxes paid to a local government. An association's authority to collect HOA fees (or "assessments") arises from two places:state law and the HOA's declaration.The declaration is a document recorded in the county land records that serves as the association's constitution. It grants certain powers to the HOA and imbues homeowners with certain rights and obligations, one of which is the duty to pay assessments.
Rental restrictions undeniably limit the free-use of property. Nonetheless, courts throughout the country have consistently upheld such restrictions when rationally calculated to promote the development's greater good. Even blanket rental prohibitions have been reluctantly upheld in some states, as long as the association has a legitimate purpose for the restriction. "Legitimate purposes" justifying rental restrictions typically involve maintenance of property values and promotion of community standards. Along with serving a legitimate purpose, to be enforceable a rental restriction must be a "reasonable" means of accomplishing the stated goal. Rental restrictions come in several forms, two of the most popular of which are caps and lease restrictions.
Pets can be a welcome addition to your family. A loyal dog, a comforting cat, or even a calming fish tank can vivify a household and provide a soothing distraction from the daily grind. But, unfortunately, pets can also occasionally become an annoyance to neighbors. Overly abundant cats or noisy dogs negatively affect a development's quality of life and aesthetic appeal. Aiming to curtail potential nuisances, many homeowners' associations have adopted pet restrictions within their declarations, establishing rules regulating members' pet choices and practices. Learn what homeowners' association can (and cannot) do under the law when it comes to enforcing pet restrictions.
Given the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, it is only right that the Congress passed a law in 2003 to assist military members with collections and foreclosure issues. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), all creditors have limitations on debt collections against active duty military members. These limitations include the temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings and transactions that may affect the civil rights of military members during their service. This article will examine in detail the protections afforded by the law to military members who own properties within homeowners' associations.
As part of the Fair Housing Act, Congress granted the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the authority to adopt rules to meet the statute's objectives. In October of 2016, the department completed the formal rulemaking process and published the final rules that are now law. One of the new rules codified by HUD can potentially significantly affect the number of harassment claims an HOA will face. Today we will focus on what might be the most significant new rule: liability for discriminatory housing practices, found at 24 C.F.R. §100.7(a)(1)(iii).
Unique to HOAs, the elected board of directors owe a special responsibility to all the dues-paying homeowners, called a fiduciary duty. We have previously written in depth about the different elements of this fiduciary duty, and if you are unfamiliar, that article is certainly worth your time. Simply for this discussion, we just need to know that because of this fiduciary duty that the board owes to member homeowners, the board has a legal obligation to maintain common areas with the same care and diligence that they would apply to their own private property.
Getting in on the ground floor of a new master-planned community is very exciting. If you are fortunate enough to be in such a scenario, you likely now have a budding interest in how the developer of the HOA community will eventually transfer power to the homeowners. In a nascent HOA community, a new homeowner has the option to sit back and permit the developer to govern the community until he sees fit. Yet, this can be risky and may cost you money/time in the long run if there are any complications in the completion of the work.
Finding the homeowners' association linked to a property can sometimes be frustrating and time-consuming. The good news, is that you may not have to drive down to your county's office to retrieve the HOA information you need, thanks to google. This article will attempt to help you save time by giving you step by step instructions and directing you to the right government agencies where the homeowners association information and documentation are usually stored.
Today's homeowner needs to know how to intelligently take on an HOA board if/when such a dispute may arise. As we will soon discuss, the mistaken judgment in pursuit of a claim against a homeowners' association could result in a five-figure legal bill. To assist if you are in such a problematic scenario, we will describe the three concepts you need to master before taking the fight to your homeowners' association: learning your association's CC&Rs, the relevant law regarding your dispute, and how to craftily pursue a resolution with your association's board.
The right to record liens, and to foreclose on unpaid liens, is perhaps the most powerful tool homeowners' associations have to enforce assessment obligations. State HOA laws are designed to allow associations to recover unpaid fees without undue effort and expense while protecting homeowners from overly aggressive associations by requiring strict compliance with statutory procedures and ample notice to homeowners.
Little did you know when you first got into home ownership that your brain would be flooded with a plethora of new acronyms to comprehend. Whether a dispute has arisen, or you are about to participate in the conveyance of a property that part of an HOA, it is likely you have a now developed a sudden interest in what are termed "covenants, conditions, and restrictions," knows as CC&Rs.
Too many terms and acronyms are thrown around and used interchangeably when folks are discussing homeowners' association documents. Sometimes when people are referring to the entire suite of homeowners' association documents, they will use the term CC&R, which stands for covenants, conditions, and restrictions. In fact, CC&Rs are just one part of the association's documentation. This article will distinguish CC&Rs from the other documents you need to know including articles of incorporation, bylaws, rules, and regulations, and financial documents.
Whether you are buying or selling a home that is a party to an association, we know how important it is to complete the transaction the right way so as to not upend the lives of you and your family. Today's article will provide the guidance you need—either as a buyer or seller—to operate with confidence regarding the home transaction. We will address where these disclosures come from, how they balance the rights of buyers and sellers and clarify once and for all the difference between disclosure and transfer fees.
Homeowners' Association laws vary considerably from state to state. But the right of homeowners to inspect association documents is uniformly recognized. After all, as a homeowner, you are a member of the association, and the ultimate purpose of any association is to benefit homeowners. Just as the shareholders of a corporation have a right to know about the financial status, management, and assets of the business they own, so, too, do HOA members have a right to stay abreast of association budgets, expenditures, and financial transactions.
The enforcement mechanisms of a homeowners' association may seem a bit arcane and obtuse, but they are important to understanding if either you or a fellow member is accused by the board of violating the rules. There are very specific duties, obligations, and procedures that the board of directors must follow. We will provide the full explanation you need to understand how and why your board of directors is permitted to assess a fine by addressing why associations are granted the power to enforce Bylaws, the necessary procedure to assess a penalty to enforce the rules, and what is considered a "reasonable" fine under the law.
The ability of a homeowners' association to regulate certain property details, impose obligations on members, and levy fines is governed by a combination of statutory and case law in the jurisdiction where the association is located and the community's governing documents—including articles of incorporation, bylaws, declarations (also known as CC&Rs—Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), and rules and regulations, which contractually bind the homeowner association and its members.
We all have what we like to think is a general understanding of the basic elements of Homeowners' Association—there is a president, a board, and a set of rules that these nice people are entrusted to enforce. And the cursory understanding of these elements of an association are perfectly fine, until something happens. Upon the formation of a dispute between a homeowner and a homeowner's association, these seemingly innocuous details will suddenly be anything but.
This article will help elucidate what the law requires of an association Board with respect to its obligations toward homeowners. There are three broad categories of fiduciary duties of association Boards that we will discuss: the duty of care, the duty of reasonable inquiry, and the duty of good faith. With each topic, we will first explain general concepts then delve into examples for clarification. These rights for homeowners derive from old English common law (meaning that this law has grown over time through court decisions), but today almost every state has codified these rights into state statutes.

Asian Tour, Thailand Golf Championship. Lee Westwood the Asian Specialist December 04 2012
Lee Westwood/ asiantour.com The top contender this week the top at the US$1 million Thailand Golf Championship staged at the Amata Spring Country Club, is Asian specialist Lee Westwood. Lee is known around the world as an Asian specialist because of his record of multiple victories around the region including the 2011 Thailand Golf Championship, where he romped home to a seven-shot win over South African Charl Schwartzel. During that week, Lee also flirted with the magical score of 59, just missing the mark by one stroke, in the opening round. He is in fine form this season, winning the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters on the Asian Tour following a third place result at The Masters. Lee has missed only one cut this season, and enjoys a World Ranking of 6th. Bubba Watson will bring his own specialist style of golf to challenge the Championship at Amata Spring. Bubba is the reigning Masters Champion, and well-known for his extra long drives on the PGA Tour, where he averages over 315 yards. Bubba also has four top ten finishes this year in the U.S. and is determined to set his sights on victory here in Asia. Gaganjeet Bhullar, currently fourth on the Asian Tour of Merit,is a young Indian player who has had a wonderful run of results on the Asian Tour, winning twice, and also finished tied 10th at the CIMB classic in Malaysia. Gaganjeet has a mathematical chance of toppling Thaworn Wiratchant at the top of the Order of Merit but needs a really good finish here and then again next week in Malaysia. Thaworn himself is on course to win the Asian Tour Order of Merit, standing in 1st place at the moment, this would be the second time since 2005. He has three victories on the Tour this season and is certainly enjoying a purple patch. Thaworn finished second at the King's Cup on home soil last week and knows a big finish this week will see him creep closer towards the prestigious Merit crown. Sergio Garcia has enjoyed a resurgence of form earning him back-to-back wins in late 2011. He won again this year on the PGA Tour, at the Wyndham Championship and also has had six other top-ten finishes. And of course Sergio also played a starring role for Europe in the Ryder Cup victory over the United States in September. His current World Ranking is 22nd and he finished in fourth spot last year in the Thailand Golf Championship. Another notable from Europe and Ryder Cup player is Nicolas Colsaerts, the Belgian is the longest driver of a golf ball on the European Tour. Nicolas had a wonderful season winning the Volvo World Matchplay, and has also amassed eleven top ten finishes, and is ranked 35th in the World. South African Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters Champion is also contesting this event, he is looking for his first win of 2012, to back up his seven top ten finishes this year. To win this year would help erase the memory of last years thrashing in the final at the hands of Lee Westwood. This is a good field for this tournament and it should be a hotly contested affair, which will be a pleasure to watch.
