Long distance putting tip
Golfers often struggle with poor distance control because the butt end of the putter moves too laterally during the stroke. This leads to poor rhythm, timing and off-centre strikes, all of which reduce the chances of putting the ball close from long range.
As TG Elite Pro Rob Watts explains in this golf video tip, limiting the movement of the butt of the putter during your stroke helps create a much freer motion, sending three-putts packing for good!

Review for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Cass County Inc, Logansport, IN, USA
This organization touches the lives of so many. I truly believe our Bowl For Kids Sake benefits the participants as much as the organization. I see bonding among groups, schools, co-workers, and youth. I truly believe the amount a "big" touches the child's life is unmeasurable.
I know that many community memebers would enjoy being part of this organization in any capacity.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I teach high school dance and have seen some students who have been positively affected by their mentor.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Less financial requirements by national organization. The amount it costs small communities almost makes it impossible.

Well folks, Essex was once known as a suburban paradise for inner city workers to spend there final days as middle aged people and become pensioners. Unfortunately, the youth of these three areas have in recent years, made the traditional "Farmland" into some kind of "Compton, London borough hybrid".
First, there is Debden, Debden is often considered the poorest of the three areas and for good reason, the place is littered with rubbish, the only hand movement down the local pool club (Riley's) is when some poor kid get's his hand cut off for not having a cigarette lighter, the local petrol station becomes a potential health hazard (well, what do you expect with stupid 13 year old kids smoking next to a petrol pump?) and the local "Chicken Hut" is usually a stomping ground for the local teenage hoodie wearing, bling'd up mega ****.
The local breed of **** is a nasty type, normally hunting in packs of 10, looking for some "older guy" to buy some cigarettes, cider or weed, they normally take "nice" weekend trips down to Loughton, simply to **** up the "rival gang" of ****'s, which normally results in loss of property and gives the older lot a think of "what the f*** did we raise?".
In between Loughton and Debden is of course, Epping Forest College, which if you don't listen to Rap or wear black nike tracksuits and hoodies (in summer too), you automatically are classified as a "gofick blad". EFC can be ok if you hang around in a group of 6 or so, you'll be fine, just don't go alone, you'll ever be converted to the way of life or "jacked".
Loughton is next on the list, were the local high school (Roding Valley) is where many ****'s get educated (and normally drop out at year 9). The place is filled up with screaming 15 year old girls with skirts like belts, a bottle of barcardi in one hand and a pack of durex in the other. The boys have the same look as that of Debden, hoodie with tracksuits, but in this case, to try and stay out of that classification, designer labels are normally the fashion (and with shops like Zee & Co with unlimited supplies of burbery, it makes you think whether the council tried making the **** populas increase on purpose).
The local boys all seem to drive, whether it be mopeds or supped up cars, all of which go around 70miles an hour down the local high street, meaning unless you have the reactions of a cat, crossing the road is a no no. The town itself is quite nice during the day, but at night (even with the curfew and police station), the local train station, Sainsbury's and the local kebab shop is simply…avoid at all costs. **** fights are a common practise here (either between Debden or "Bow Boiz"), they either end on "one ****" chicken's out or when a gang of 10 **** up one guy (what happened to the days of one on one?).
The last on the list in Buckhurst Hill, which in recent years has seen the **** population increase. At the moment, only the local train station is **** territory, but how long can this last? With the local night club down Queens Road (Blue Monday) bringing in a influx of yobbish London **** "goin down da countryside" for further annoyance for the local populus. They contribute nothing to the town, except any food they ate earlier and making it apart of the road and making any stupid teenager think "I wanna be just like them", it seems only a matter of years before this middle class paradise has the same level of chavness as any London Borough.
It seems sad that these once nice areas have become like this, maybe the next generation will learn the mistakes of the past and not dwell into this way of life for all our sakes.

MURDER: Residents blame warring gangs
PUBLISHED: 10:17 05 November 2009 | UPDATED: 17:19 25 August 2010
RESIDENTS claim the 22-year-old victim of a brutal murder was caught up in gangland violence plaguing an estate.
RESIDENTS claim the 22-year-old victim of a brutal murder was caught up in gangland violence plaguing an estate.
Moses Nteyoho, known locally as 'Mo' was stabbed through the heart near to the Tilehurst Point flats on Tavy Bridge Estate, Thamesmead, after being set upon by five youths.
He was walking with a friend to the site's Youth Awareness Programme, which only relaunched two days earlier with a £22,000 cash grant, when he was attacked last Friday. His friend managed to escape from the gang.
Paramedics tried to save Mr Nteyoho, described as a "nice lad" by one shop owner, but he was pronounced dead at the scene at 10pm.
He is the latest victim in a week of escalating violence on the estate, according to residents.
Parents with young children described the stabbing as "horrific" and "awful".
Residents say there have been violent clashes between T-Block, a gang on the estate, with rivals Cherry Orchard, from Charlton. Just minutes before the fatal stabbing a 24-year-old father of two young girls went out to buy milk at 9.30pm. When he returned the area was swarming with police cordoning off a large area around the murder scene.
He said Cherry Orchard gang comes from Charlton and is also known as the ".com boys" and added: "That could have been me lying dead on the street, there are so many gangs around here.
"I don't let my partner go out by herself at night, it's too dangerous. I can't let my children play outside. When the front door is shut, that's it. It's like living in a prison but why should we be forced out?
"Last week a girl was battered with a golf club, there was blood pouring from her.
"I want to know where the community support officers are. They patrol on the other side of the road but don't come near here."
A 35-year-old mother who lives on the estate said there was a violent confrontation between Cherry Orchard and T-Block gang just two days before the fatal stabbing.
She said the violence was sparked by a boy from T-Block going out with a girl from their rival gang.
The mother-of-two said: "It's awful that this young man has been stabbed and killed, but I'm surprised something horrific like this hasn't happened sooner.
"Why are they doing this, why doesn't someone do something, are these kids bored or on drugs?
"When we call the police the kids hear the sirens and you can hear them shout 'split'".
Mr Patel, owner of supermarket Costcutter on the estate for more than 20 years, said: "If the victim is who I think it is, he was a nice lad.
"I see the kids, growing up then something horrible like this happens to them."
Officers from the Met's Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating, led by acting DCI Brian Mather.
DCI Mather said: "I have no reason to believe that Moses was involved in a gang. I don't believe he knew his attackers. However, at this early stage, I am keeping an open mind as to the motive for this brutal and senseless attack."
The five suspects, who fled in the direction of the car park underneath the parade of shops are black, aged in their late teens or early 20s and were wearing dark, casual clothing with hoods.
Anyone with information is asked to call 020 8345 3734 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Good Morning and Happy New Year! Sorry I've been away for so long, many big life events took place last year which really consumed my time and energy and altered my life journey. But I'm making my way back.
Edits are moving ahead for Shawn's Way. Looking at publishing early this summer. I'm in the process of revamping the website. I made contact with someone in my neighborhood who is going to help me with it. Look for updates and announcements coming soon.
One of my life events last year was helping my dad through his dementia journey. He's living in an assisted living/memory care facility. The challenge I encountered is the amount of time and energy it takes to help our aging parents through their lives when and illness stops them from leading lives on their own. I friend of mine wrote a story about her journey. It is a writing prompt from the Facebook writing group called Writers Unite! Reading her story has made me think about what affects dementia has had on my own life journey.

Fort HealthCare's IBHPs are psychologists or licensed clinical social workers that understand the connection between the mind, body and spirit, as well as the impact of these areas on a person's health.

We recognise you may have questions about what the UK's withdrawal from the EU means for you and architects' profession.
We have put together a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) which we hope help explain the current situation. We keep the FAQs under constant review and make relevant changes as the situation develops. They were last reviewed in October 2020.
You can use our Talk to Us page if you have a question not covered below or if you would like more information.
1. Has the regulation of architects in the UK changed?
No – there have been no changes to the Architects Act 1997, which underpins the work we do, and therefore our operations remain the same as before Exit Day.
As we understand it, all the existing arrangements with the EU (such as the Automatic and General System routes that are covered by the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive) will continue to operate as they currently do during the implementation period.
2. What is the EU Exit implementation period?
The UK and EU entered the 'implementation period' at 11pm on 31 January 2020. It is currently set to end on 31 December 2020. During the implementation period the UK and the EU will negotiate new arrangements on trade and other areas of co-operation.
3. What is happening in regards to mutual recognition agreements with the rest of the world?
A mutual recognition agreement is an international agreement between countries who agree to recognise each other's legal decisions in specified areas.
The Government is ultimately responsible for negotiating free trade agreements with other countries, as well as setting out ARB's role and responsibilities in this area.
We have been exploring the possibility of establishing mutual recognition agreements in relation to the registration of architects with counterpart organisations, including relevant organisations in Australia and New Zealand. Detailed information has been shared to establish the foundations upon which potential recognition agreements could be based.
As the UK's relationship with the EU becomes clearer, we will support Government as requested in this area.
4. How is ARB managing the EU Exit process?
We have been following matters closely and have a schedule of work in place to facilitate any resulting change to regulation, enabling us to continue to protect the public and support architects through regulation.
We will continue to provide definitive, practical information to the profession and our stakeholders via our website and other channels as matters develop.
We will continue to provide technical advice to Government Departments to assist negotiations between the UK and EU.
- ARB – Architects Registration Board
- Article 50 – the clause in the EU Lisbon Treaty that outlines the steps to be taken by a country seeking to leave the EU
- Competent authority – a person or organisation with the legal authority to deal with a particular matter. ARB is the competent authority for architects in the UK. We ensure effective regulation of architects operating in more than one EEA and facilitate the requirements of the PQD which enables appropriately qualified architects to work in different parts of Europe.
- DExEU – Department for Exiting the European Union, the UK government department responsible for managing the UK's withdrawal from the EU
- Deal – an EU Exit 'deal' scenario referred to the UK and EU agreeing on the text of a Withdrawal Agreement prior to Exit Day, after which an implementation period would begin.
- EC rights – Enforceable Community rights
- EEA – European Economic Area – a free trade zone consisting of the member states of the EU, plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein
- EU – European Union – an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries
- EU national – citizens of the EU, which currently includes the UK
- Exit Day – 11pm on 31 January 2020, the day on which the UK ceased to be a member of the EU. Exit Day had previously been set for 29 March 2019, 12 April 2019, 1 June 2019 and 31 October 2019.
- Implementation Period (also known as the transition period) – the time-limited adjustment period (from Exit Day to 31 December 2020) to allow Government to negotiate arrangements for the UK's future relationship with the EU, and to allow businesses and citizens to prepare for the new permanent arrangements that will apply to the UK at the end of the implementation period. During this time the UK will continue to be subject to EU rules and remain a member of the single market and customs union.
- Listed qualification – a qualification approved through the European Commission's notification process and listed under Annex V of the PQD
- Member State – a state to which the Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC) applies on the basis of legislation
- Mutual recognition – a process through which ARB (and other EU competent authorities) automatically recognise listed qualifications under Annex V of the PQD for the purposes of registration in that jurisdiction
- No deal – A 'no deal' scenario referred to no agreement being made between the UK and the EU by Exit Day and the UK leaving the EU without any declaration as to how the UK-EU relationship would work after this date
- Prescribed qualification – a qualification approved through ARB's prescription process by the ARB Board and listed in Schedule 1 of the Board's General Rules
- Qualifications Directive – Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC)
- Referendum – a method of referring a question or set of questions directly to an entire electorate.
- RIBA – Royal Institute of British Architects
- Technical Notice – guidance from the Department for Exiting the European Union on how to prepare for the UK's departure from the EU if there is a no deal
- UK – United Kingdom
- UK national – citizens of the UK and Northern Ireland
- Withdrawal Agreement – the agreement being negotiated between the EU and the UK setting out the arrangements for the UK's withdrawal from the EU on Exit Day and a declaration of how the UK-EU relationship will work after the transition period

[...] the "fake" surrender tactic is not new. Which makes me wonder whether all wars might not be dishonorable to some extent.
It's been observed plenty of times before that war brings out the best and worst in people, on all sides. On one hand men and women will put themselves in mortal danger for the greater good of others. On the other hand, men and women will take advantage of the situation - looting, corruption or manoeuvring and manipulating for personal gain.
The extremes of war provides a backdrop for stories of honour and dishonour play out again and again on both small and large scales. And we should acknowledge both: honour and be proud of our men and women who selflessly give of themselves and be ashamed of those who do the opposite.
One thing is worth considering: Are the Iraqi "fake" surrenderers heroes? For their country, they boldly place themselves in the line of fire against the world's largest and best equipped military force, with only a crude piece of trickery as a shield. How brave (or desperate) would you have to be to to come out of a perfectly good hiding place - weaponless - and drawing attention to yourself? Sure my buddies might be hiding nearby with their guns ready, but if I did it, it'd be the bravest thing I'd ever done, by a country mile.
These Iraqi's do use "unfair" deception, but the invading force has "unfair" technology.
War sure does suck.

Peterdeadpan Steps Removed
Published Mar 01, 2006Probably this months most clever artist name, this is technically a demo from the Toronto-based Mr Pan. Starting out with the Amon Tobin-ish break beat flavour of "Revolving Door, this settles into a nice drum & bass groove. It does sound slightly behind the curve in some places, for example the Brazilian flavour of "Bicyclette and "Yogis Boo Boo, with its weird screaming, has "cutting room floor written all over it, but then this is a demo after all. Tracks like "Campaign Promises, with a faux-Chilean flavour, and the electric piano-driven "Open to Persuasion. have a melodic sensibility that screams for more attention. On the whole, there are some great ideas here, and itd be interesting to see what this guy could do with a label or a distributor backing him. Bonus points are given for submitting the CD in a five-inch floppy disk cover I doubt its a reference to "Blue Monday, but its a nice touch nonetheless. (Independent)

Jung-Hoon Park guides us in a way of fishing that is three hundred years old. Direct connection with the fish, beautiful feelings in the middle of the stream… One should imagine the line diving deep into the shadows of time. Through the pull of the fish rushing, one may feel the ghosts of a long gone past, an era without carbon or hydrocarbides, whithout greenhouse effects.

Although there is a lot of skepticism among Roma fans, Pallotta could change the ambitions of the club forever.
Americans are not dreamers or people who like to bet blindly. They grow and form professionally based on a basic concept, nothing is impossible. When Jim Pallotta took over the prestigious club of the eternal city, he decided to make it a rare gem. Although his project is not completed yet, the Bostonian investor knows that the financial perspectives will change from now on.
The Stadio della Roma will be the means by which the American businessman will transform Roma from being a highly relevant club to entering the elite of the football giants. Not everyone understands the real importance of a project designed on paper but that will change the prospects and future ambitions of the eternal city and of the Roma fans.
Many still believe Pallotta is doing everything for strictly personal interests. But the reality is that the native of Boston clearly understood that the only way to compete against national and European football powerhouses is to exponentially increase revenues.
His business plan should make the fans of the giallorossi celebrate even more if we think that with an efficient new stadium potential future buyers of the club can only be super-powerful tycoons. The period of passionate family management, however admirable and efficient they may have been, has been over for a long time.
Since finance began to be an extremely important aspect, the world of football has changed and it will never be able to go back. Now there are two possible ways. That of the ambitious Mr. Pallotta that will make Roma a rare gem by bringing the club in the football elite. Or the sad realization that the world of the great will never be accessible to Roma.
Large projects also include possible management problems. But even in times of difficulty, you must not lose sight of the final goal. The rumors of possible interest in Roma of the Qatari Investment Fund, although later denied by Mr. Pallotta, is a clear signal that the club of Trigoria has already attracted powerful tycoons.
After receiving incessant criticism, Pallotta could be remembered as the one who changed the future of the club. The Bostonian investor started a long and tortuous journey that could lead Roma to play a leading role.

Documentary "Freakonomics" has been chosen as the closing night film for the Tribeca Film Festival.
Gala premiere on April 30 marks the film's world premiere. Docu is based on the best-selling tome by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, and was helmed by a team of directors — Alex Gibney, Morgan Spurlock, Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing, Eugene Jarecki and Seth Gordon.
"Freakonomics" was produced by Chad Troutwine and Green Film Company's Chris Romano and Dan O'Meara, with Cold Fusion Media providing financing.
Tribeca organizers also announced two other premieres: Gary Winick's "Letters to Juliet" and Olivier Dahan's "My Own Love Song."
"Letters to Juliet," from Summit Entertainment, makes its world preem at Tribeca on April 25. Pic toplines Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave.
"Love Song" is the first English-language film from Dahan, who helmed "La vie en rose," and stars Renee Zellweger and Forest Whitaker. Pic makes its international bow at Tribeca in a special presentation slot. "Love Song" features original music by Bob Dylan and also stars Madeline Zima, Nick Nolte and Elias Koteas.
"This trio of films embodies the spirit of diversity that has defined Tribeca through the years," Tribeca Film Fest exec director Nancy Schafer said. "Audiences will be charmed by 'Letters to Juliet,' moved by Jane's emotional journey to redemption in 'My Own Love Song' and glued to their seats during the riveting 'Freakonomics,' which marks the return of some of today's best documentary filmmakers to Tribeca."
Tribeca runs April 21-May 2.

One Book launched for fifth year
Mayor announces committee's selection of 'The Glass Castle'
MIDDLETOWN - It's fast becoming a Thanksgiving weekend tradition in the city.
The announcement of the One Book, One Middletown selection by Mayor Sebastian Guiliano took place Saturday at Main Street Market as part of the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce's Holiday on Main Street.
The 2007 selection is "The Glass Castle" a memoir by Jeannette Walls.
"Last year's book was a really good one," Guiliano said, referencing "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult.
"In two sittings, I've gotten through half of (The Glass Castle)," Guiliano said. "I'm not going to reveal anything, but it's got me going.
This is the fifth year of the One Book, One Middletown effort, which is organized by the Rotary Club of Middletown in partnership with the city.
In addition, several community organizations have paired with the program and it has received corporate sponsorship from Citizens Bank and Broad Street Books.
According to Scribner books, a subsidiary of the Simon & Schuster publishing house, "The Glass Castle" tells of how "Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an 'excitement addict.' Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.
"Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town - and the family - Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Walls and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.
"What is so astonishing about Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
"For two decades, Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor."
This year the committee was able to secure a visit to the city by the book's author to autograph books at Broad Street Books, Rotarian Kevin Wilhelm told the crowd gathered at Main Street Market.
"The Glass Castle" has received the American Library Association's Alex Award.
Previous One Book, One Middletown selections include "The Giver," by Lois Lowry in 2003, "Tuesdays with Morrie," by Mitch Album in 2004; "The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini in 2005, and "My Sister's Keeper," by Jodi Picoult in 2006.
The majority of the One Book, One Middletown activities will be held in March and April.

Scholar athletes deserve to be paid by schools
Student-athletes are some of the hardest working individuals on college campuses. In some cases, athletes are up before dawn to attend early morning weight training and practices. After practice, they are expected to attend a full day of classes, before repeating the schedule the following day.
Without a doubt, college athletes are living demanding lives. Though some student-athletes argue they are able to live out their dreams by playing a sport at the next level and profiting from the notoriety that they might gain from their sport, some are left wondering whether student-athletes should receive more benefits, aside from tuition and stipends.
Recently, the NCAA has been evaluating whether the stipends are sufficient considering the current climate for college athletes. Currently, the monthly stipend for college athletes is $2,000. For athletes in metropolitan areas like USC, not much is left from the stipend once rent and expenses are paid. Because of this discrepancy, many athletes have demanded a change in the current system because of its flaws. For the current system to be truly functional, drastic changes need to be made.
Some advocates have suggested that student-athletes should be paid for their athletic endeavors by their universities. But this proposal has been immediately shot down becuase paying college-level athletes violates the concept of "amateurism" in college athletics. Another immediate criticism stems from the fact that at certain universities, some sports are more prosperous than others. The revenue gained from country-wide (and even worldwide) popular sports like football or basketball is often used to fund other sports on the campus.
Other proposals to fix the stipend issue have suggested following a system similar to the Olympics. Student-athletes would be able to benefit from being sponsored from interested companies supplementing tuition and monthly stipends. Athletes would be able to benefit from his or her athletic achievements, granting them ease of mind and ease of their wallets while they are in school.
Ideally, this is the best scenario. Athletes from all areas of the sports spectrum would be able to benefit from this advantageous change. The athletes would be able to focus on their sport and most importantly — education.
Though it might take years before a full reform is implemented, change needs to occur immediately. To greatly impact and alleviate the issue, the NCAA should change the monthly stipend to accommodate the variance in the cost of living among college towns. The stipend needs to be adapted to the location of the university. This instant fix will ease the flaws in the current system.
Yes, many will object to the notion of providing student-athletes with more than the stipend or reformed stipend system. Do not be quick to forget that it is the athletes who are generating the revenue for his or her university. In today's system, not one college athlete receives a single dollar from sale of merchandise that possesses his or her image. Shouldn't they receive some type of incentive because it is the athletes who are driving the consumers in purchasing the product?
Most importantly, is it truly fair to not give credit where it is due? After all, it is student-athletes like Kendall Bateman, Christina Marinacci, Maurice Jones and Matt Barkley that keep the Trojan tradition alive and prevalent in USC and collegiate athletics.

Nature: Faction of spirits
Ruler: Unknown
Typical Membership: Spirits of corporations, greed, money, gold, banking, capitalism, franchises, stores, supermarkets, bad traffic, cars, parking, cubicles, offices, gentrification, wealth, hospitals, public office, public buildings, government, politics and authority.
Info: The city, despite its public image, is a center for commerce and money. It grew big one a gold rush, and stayed big due to effective banking. In the stock crash, not a single San Fransisco bank closed down. During The Depression, they decided to build the Golden Gate Bridge, and to this day, San Fransisco is a corporate giant. It has an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor, gentrification and very high rent makes it a place you live in only if you have money. Skyscrapers house companies where suit-clad men chase numbers and profit margins.
All this is represented by the spirit court known as he Gilded Dollar. From the financial district they rule with an iron fist, subjugating all they can. Where they reside the streets turn into webs, with Spiders of Parking make sure the traffic gets stuck (since the Streets themselves are usually their enemies), while the higher-ups reside….well, higher up. The lords live in the upper stories, with spirits of glass and window as their valets. Their great tragedy, and the reason they don't rule the entire region, is the Earthquake. It crippled them, decimated their strength and killed swaths of their underlings. They never recovered completely, and so the region lost its chance to be the economic capital and beating heart of the entire nation.
More recently, it has threatened to form an alliance with the ministry of Mammon in the past, unless the pentacle could offer it a better deal.

I get paid tomoz and I'm deffo gonna get it but it's fifty quid!!!
I thought this was 'budget priced'???!!!
Cheeky twatters.
I get paid tomoz and I'm deffo gonna get it but it's fifty quid!!!
I thought this was 'budget priced'???!!!
Cheeky twatters.
40 quid for PS4 and 35 for the Xbone, both on Amazon. Both 40 in Argos too. Still no exactly budget priced, but defo better than 50 quid.
Cool mate, Argos it is, I'm in town tomoz!
Started this just after midnight, and as of about twenty minutes ago I think I'm already done with it - 100% both tours, and all stat points. I did sleep, before anyone asks
It's good but it's really not lasted me very long. There's still challenges and trophies it wants me to push for, and multiplayer too, but I'm really not sure I can be faffed. Feel like I should've waited for it to drop in price first, ho hum.
Exactly the same as me fuse. I bought it at £34 and finished the two Tours, 100% with all stat points, within a few hours spread over a couple of days. I still have challenges to complete and the online aspect to try but I can't really be bothered with either. I love the TH series and have finished all the games bar Proving Ground and the ones required the skateboard controller and thought this remake was really well done. It felt just like the old games to play, but a bit easier as they included the revert to manual. Although I really enjoyed my (brief) time with it, I wish I had waited until it dropped in price a bit.
Yeah you could probably do every original challenge the games throw at you in six to ten hours, but then the game was never just about ticking boxes and finishing off all the challenges its about putting together runs and combs and coming out the other end with crazy scores, its like getting a fighting game and complaining that you finished it in a few hours when in reality all you've done is run through single player with every character and leaned a small number of combos.
Ok, all I meant was I wish I had waited until it dropped in price. £39.99 rrp isn't a budget release IMO, and even though I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing through all the goals, two to three hours gaming for that price isn't good value for me.
Yeah but that is because you are good at it!
Ha, it's amazing how quickly the muscle memory kicks in. Maybe Lebowski is right in that what did I expect? I knew what I was getting. I just wished I'd waited that's all. Anyway, I'll stop moaning now and leave the thread alone
I will join you in exile, persecuted for our m4dsk1llz

When the co-founders of local furniture firm Castlery realised the sofa they were delivering to a customer in a HDB flat could not fit through the door, they used their initiative and quickly removed the metal grilles: Problem solved.
Mr Declan Ee told The Straits Times: "The uncle in the flat told us we were very dedicated and should get a raise from the boss."
But the incident also brought home to Mr Ee, 33, that he and co-founder Fred Ji were taking on too much. He said: "Fred and I had been doing everything, from designing to delivery. That was when we decided to scale properly."
That was in April 2014, after Castlery started selling furniture online in 2013 out of a 900 sq ft basement office in Ubi.
The co-founders bit the bullet in mid-2014 and put in over $1 million of their own money to scale operations. They also began to search for supply chain partners, visiting over 500 factories in nine months in areas such as South-east Asia, China and Turkey. Castlery has a factory in Guangdong, China, and works with more than 30 factories in furniture production.
It has a 40,000 sq ft warehouse here and last year moved into a 7,000 sq ft showroom in Alexandra Road, which will be expanded to 10,000 sq ft by the end of this month.
Mr Ee said the idea for the business came about after he and Mr Ji managed to furnish their homes at reasonable costs.
Mr Ee bought furniture from Britain, where he lived for 10 years, and shipped it to Singapore, while Mr Ji sourced his directly from factories.
"Furniture here is either Ikea or really expensive," Mr Ee said. "There's a lot of wastage in furniture retail - middleman mark-ups, storage and rental costs... We want to bring furniture to people directly from the makers."
About 80 per cent of Castlery's furniture is designed in-house. The firm has added more people to its team, hiring designers and quality control staff from other furniture companies.
The firm declined to reveal revenue figures, but Mr Ee said Castlery's rapid growth - "300 to 400 per cent from 2014 to 2015" - has been surprising and he hopes its furniture will continue to "contribute to home or office environments that inspire creativity".
Castlery's products will furnish the ST Reading Room at the Singapore Coffee Festival from Thursday to Sunday.

Brightcove expects live content broadcasting to "explode" this year.
Mark Blair, Asia Pacific media solutions vice president at the online video provider, has pegged 2014 to be the year of "live."
"Video is already being utilised as a marketing tool to great effect," he said.
"Live broadcasting from brands is, without question, the next step."
Blair said this change is irrespective of whether it is broadcaster providing simulcasts of programming, or a brand doing live event broadcasting.
"From a marketing perspective, video is a highly engaging medium with massive potential for advertising and tracking which is invaluable to any marketing department," he said.
Rise of online video
The trend that has stood out for Blair in recent months has been the growth in the consumption of online videos, a growth that continues to surpass his expectations.
"It's not a huge surprise given the way our consumption of digital content is changing," he said.
Although the growth trajectory continues to outpace Blair's predictions, he said the development is nevertheless "fantastic to witness."

Lastly, the 2014 Syrah The Hustler comes all from the Walla Walla Valley and spent a whopping 38 months in oak. Despite the long élevage, it's still fresh and vibrant as can be and has a brilliant bouquet of black raspberries, blackberries, lead pencil, cedar, and ground pepper. Deep, full-bodied, perfectly ripe (not overripe, not underripe), and with remarkable purity, it's an incredibly sexy yet elegant Syrah that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 15 years or more. 98+
The nose of the 2014 Syrah The Hustler is scented of dark fruit, with red cherry-tinged expression to the fruit core that makes it pop with a more subtle feeling compared to other Syrahs in the range. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, the wine is spicy and more about precision than power on the mid-palate. The finish is slightly subdued yet still lingers long, indicating that this should age well for more than a decade. Only 143 cases made. (AM)

Literacy Brokering among the International Students of a Public University
The influx of international students to Malaysia in pursuance of tertiary education has created the urgency to ascertain the English literacy struggles faced by these students in the Malaysian classrooms as well as the suitability of the current pedagogical practices in addressing their existing literacy practices. Insights on the aforementioned aspects could be gained by examining the students' literacy brokering engagements. Literacy brokering refers to an act of seeking informal help in various forms from fellow language users when facing unfamiliar texts or text-oriented practices and events. This case study therefore examined the literacy brokering phenomenon occurring within a Malaysian university's intensive English Language class. The research participants consisted of 15 international students from five different countries. The specific objectives of the study were to: (i) identify the themes involved in literacy brokering interactions occurring in the Malaysian university English language classroom context; and (ii) describe the literacy practices of the international students in their English class. Through the methods of audio and video recording, 98433 words of transcribed data were collected. An in-depth analysis of the data revealed the primary brokering theme to be the English language system, specifically aspects of grammar and semantics. However culture and genre-based themes were also apparent. The brokerage of culture and genre stemmed from the mismatch between the participants' existing literacy knowledge with those in their current context of living. The findings create an andragogic importance to include learners' socio-cultural schemata in designing and carrying out non-native language pedagogy. In the spirit of contextualising learning experience, future works could focus on analysing the literacy brokering occurrences in other non-native English Language classrooms such as Singapore and Hong Kong.

A strike or protest against inaction over climate change is planned around the country today.
The Spinoff: General strike for climate: everything you need to know
What and when?
The School Strike 4 Climate movement has invited people of all ages to a nationwide strike today. More than 40 rallies and marches are planned around the country and upwards of 90 businesses, including The Spinoff, have committed to downing tools and joining the movement.
In Auckland, protestors will gather at noon at Aotea Square.
Hamilton protestors are meeting at Civic Square at 1pm.
In Tauranga, it's a 12pm start at the south end of The Strand.
Wellington protestors are meeting at 11am at Civic Square ahead of a march on parliament.
In Christchurch, protestors will gather at 1pm in Cathedral Square.
Dunedin's strike kicks off at 12pm outside the Dental School ahead of a march to the Octagon.
Events are also planned in Whangārei, Lower Hutt, Dunsandel, Porirua, Greymouth, Golden Bay, Thames, Whanganui, Foxton, Nelson, Kāpiti, Hawke's Bay, Alexandra, New Plymouth, Timaru, Whakatāne, Gisborne, Great Barrier Island, Palmerston North, Invercargill, Kaitaia, Kerikeri, Marlborough, Taupō, Motueka, Karamea, Coromandel, Opunake, Rotorua, Opononi and Wānaka.

School Strike 4 Climate NZ's Sophie Handford said opening the strike to workers and employers strengthened the movement and diversified their base.
Newsroom – Uni scientists: Why we're marching for climate action
Professor Quentin Atkinson from the School of Psychology studies the evolution of language and human cultures. He has contributed to a book on how New Zealanders can tackle climate change and is founder of climate action group Claxon
What troubles me most about the climate crisis is the profligate insanity of the whole thing. The stakes could not be higher. Livelihoods lost. Lives lost. Species gone forever. Real threats to our planet's life support systems. Positive feedback loops like dieback of the Amazon rainforest or methane released from thawing permafrost causing truly scary runaway climate change. And these warnings are coming not from some lunatic or charlatan, but from hundreds of scientists, the best minds in the world, paid to question every assumption and temper every conclusion. Indeed, climate change is hitting sooner and harder than they initially predicted.
Dr Brendon Dunphy from the School of Biological Sciences studies the metabolic strategies animals employ to adapt to environmental change and potential effects of climate change on seabirds, fish and invertebrates
It's a struggle to capture the complexity of what I feel as I fluctuate daily between outright despondency to a more pragmatic "Right, let's get on with solving it". However, it is one unimpressive number that really captures me…3mm. A small number, but 3mm is the annual sea level rise attributed to climate change we are currently seeing.
It's a slow march. From talking with people, I get a sense that the thinking is one day we simply won't wake up, that we will have undergone a cataclysm that sterilizes the planet of life. But it won't be like that. It will occur slowly, but surely, in increments of 3mm per year. The struggle I have as a parent is trying to alleviate the anxiety my children have for their future. However, I remain positive that we will respond…there's no other choice.
Professor Shaun Hendy from the Department of Physics is a physicist and science commentator whose book #NoFly: Walking the Talk on Climate Change will be published next month. He is director of the centre for research excellence, Te Pūnaha Matatini
The discovery that fossil fuel emissions are heating the planet is one of science's greatest achievements. The scientific detective work that led to this discovery was a collective effort, built on the inquiry and insight of many minds, over many decades. For the first time in human history perhaps, we are not only able to see centuries into our future, we also know how our actions will shape that future. Despite this we have struggled mightily to decide how to use this knowledge. While we must each take responsibility for reducing our own carbon footprints as best we are able, it is only by acting together that we will avoid dangerous climate change.
Professor Niki Harre from the School of Psychology studies the human drive to participate in the common good. Her books The Infinite Game: How to Live Well Together and Psychology for a Better World: Working with People to Save the Planet, were published in 2018
For well over a decade I've been aware the climate change threat is my problem. Along with other citizens of industrialised nations, I live within social systems damaging to the ecology of our planet and it is up to us to change those systems. I am marching to show I will accept whatever is required for an effective response. This includes more limited, expensive travel options; government-backed insurance for people with homes vulnerable to sea level rise; creating employment for those whose income-stream is not viable in a climate friendly society. I am not asking others to bear the cost of these changes,
I am also prepared for a significant rise in my taxes to support transition that protects the wellbeing of all. I am not afraid of reduced access to material goods and consumer experiences. I am afraid of a world where people are pitted against one another in a scramble to survive in a harsh environment. I want to live in a world that brings out the best in us – pulling together and focusing on what really matters.
Professor Richard Easther is Head of the Department of Physics and a leading theoretical cosmologist who is a regular commentator on science issues and science research
Our nervous systems respond quickly to clear and present danger — the clench in the gut if we see a child at risk of harm and our instant response. As a physicist and astronomer I know why carbon dioxide traps heat, and why we can't blame the sun for increasing temperatures: I can follow the math and appreciate the complexity of the data. But it is still more head than heart.
For most adults, climate adaptation is like saving for retirement — present desires often take priority. But if the detached perspective of adulthood is "mature", the flipside is that kids do a better job of appreciating the urgency climate change deserves. The students I interact with are smart, articulate, thoughtful, committed and passionate – and my strongest emotional response is admiration for the commitment and composure of the kids participating in the climate strikes.
And that's why I'll be marching.
RNZ: Climate change report underlines sea level rise threat
The latest international climate report sends a stark message about the fundamental importance of the world's oceans, a New Zealand scientist says.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Special Report revealed the clearest information to date on the future of the planet's oceans and frozen regions, and the price civilisation will pay if there is not urgent action.
"Changes that have been under way in these systems imperil the health and wellbeing on life on this earth. It's a pretty stark message for us to listen to and to act on," Massey University professor Bruce Glavovic said.
Prof Glavovic, one of more than 100 authors from 36 countries who worked on the report, said sea level rise was an immediate and real issue, not a problem for future generations to worry about.
"Importantly it's not going to stop. Even if we stop greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow sea levels will continue to rise for centuries."
Global sea levels are rising at 3.6mm a year, more than twice as fast than during the 20th century, the report said.
Even if greenhouse gas emissions were greatly reduced and global warming is limited to well below 2C, sea level rise could still reach 30-60cm by 2100. That would increase to 60-110cm if greenhouse gas emissions continue to strongly increase.
Prof Glavovic said if any country should be concerned it was New Zealand, with 90 percent of the population living within about 10km of the seashore.
"The struggle for sustainability is essentially going to be won or lost in the boardrooms in the communities in the government offices in the cities and towns of our coastlines."
Newsroom – IPCC: Ocean's future depends on emissions
The ocean has protected us from experiencing even worse effects from global warming, but changes to fisheries, coasts and cyclones are beginning to bite. What happens next depends on us, says the latest IPCC special report.
The state of the ocean will enter "unprecedented territory" this century, and it will take an unprecedented social transformation to stop things getting worse from there, according to the latest IPCC special report.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere is out, drawing on more than 6,000 studies, reviewed and synthesised by a panel of 104 scientists from 36 countries.
The fate of the Antarctic ice sheet and the Southern Ocean – two areas of intense research and monitoring by New Zealanders – feature heavily in the report's gloomier findings, regarding ocean heating around Antarctica and the potential for surprise runaway ice melt.
The report's key messages are that we've already locked in significant changes to ocean levels, cyclones, fish stocks, glaciers and beaches, but we can avoid more extreme changes by acting fast. That would require "unprecedented" social change, though.
It's hard to ignore the the overwhelming numbers of scientists and growing number of people warning and demanding more action climate change.
Naysayers will keep naysaying, but they are now losing the PR battle. The tides of science and opinion are rising against them.
The question is not whether we have climate change, it is how bad the effects could be.
The question is not whether we should we do anything about it, but how much we should do and how quickly.
And what we do will generally benefit us and our planet regardless of the extent of climate change and how much we manage to minimise the effects.
One way or another this will affect all of us.

Summer is coming to a close and we're sad to see it go. It's the end of lazy days, and the start of a new school year, which means new courses, new books, and new friends. Whether you're back to campus again, or heading off for year one, we've got a few tips to help your kick off the semester right!
Get all of your supplies ready!
New school supplies are oddly satisfying–the smell of fresh notebook paper, the solid click of three-ring binders, pens and highlighters all lined up to go. Don't make the mistake of showing up to your first day of classes unprepared. It's the perfect time of year to find great deals on everything you'll need this semester, and you don't want to earn the ire your professors by asking for a spare pencil right off the bat. If you don't already have one, consider investing in a laptop computer. It'll make note taking easier in class, and you can squeeze in some homework time even while you're on the go. If you're looking for a great rooftop bar to take in the views while you work through lunch, McCray's Tavern in Lawrenceville is the perfect spot to pop a squat, grab a bite, and grind out those assignments.
Revamp your dorm or living space
New year, new you! There's no better way to set off the Fall semester than a total makeover of your room. Declutter and freshen up the look of your space with smart storage options, like an ottoman or small bench with rising lid. If your square footage is limited, utilize it creatively, from clear plastic totes under the bed to removable accessory hooks on the walls. Make it feel like home with peel-and-stick removable wallpaper, damage free picture hanging strips, and LED lighting for all occasions. Coordinate bedding, curtains, and accent rugs with pops of color to keep it feeling fresh all year long.
Have one last celebration before donning your thinking cap for the semester
Whether it's a going away party, or a chance to celebrate the end of a truly epic summer, schedule one last event to get everyone together before classes start. Play host at home with a pool party or theme night (toga party anyone?), or avoid the cleanup completely by making plans to meet for food and drinks at your local Lawrenceville bar. With large television screens, contemporary American eats, and plenty of space for group events, McCray's Tavern in Lawrenceville is the ideal spot to plan your last shindig of the season.
Another summer for the books, before it's time to hit the books. Make some me-time this semester at Lawrenceville's favorite bar and grill. Grab your roommate or study buddies and head over to McCray's every once in a while! Don't forget to reserve a table! 770.407.6754

J-Carter drops "I'm On That and Your Savior" from Upcoming Album "Take Hip-Hop Back"!
Looking to promote a new album and wasting no time, J-Carter is back with his 3rd album (Take Hip-hop Back) within a year.
J-Carter states "This time around the people will have no choice but to hear me". Lately, J-Carter has been criticized about sounding too old school, not having any trap music, no club bangers, and that he should not even be making music at all.
With this new album, he plans to silence the critics and leave no room for doubt about his lyrical skills while leaving his mark in this hip-hop game. With 38 tracks spread across this album, there is nothing lacking to quench the thirst of the real hip-hop heads searching for that lyricism and realness.
"Take hip-hop Back" is an album that balances that traditional lyricism with a contemporary outer shell. It aims to bring back the realness and reality that hip-hop was known for since it's creation. "Take Hip-hop Back" is the album J-Carter truly believes will leave a mark on the music world, and bring a sound and lyrical objective that has not been heard before in this genre.
Artist Bio:
J-Carter comes straight out of New Jersey with a surgical type flow that cuts through the brain and pierces the soul. He believes hip-hop should focus on great lyrical content, tight beats, and mind-blowing hooks. He has been writing lyrics since the age of 13 enhancing his vocabulary along the way to be a better lyricist. His musical influences are motivated by a conglomerate of hip-hop artists that have come on the world scene over the past 30 years. His music is a blend of an old school feel mixed in with the new contemporary feel of hip-hop, but he strives to maintain his own style and voice to separate himself from the playing field.
Fresh off his classic debut album" Time to Shine"comes his follow up album "I'm Still Here" which comes with a different vibe than his controversial debut album. J-Carter feels this album will be commercial friendly but also does not lose that lyricism and edge that he is known for. For those who want that great music along with uplifting lyrics that purify the soul, "I'm Still Here" presents that medicine you need. As J-Carter states in his latest song off the album, " I'm back serving that lyrical crack" J-Carter hopes to get the world high off "I'm Still Here" and stamp his mark in the hip-hop game and take it to a higher level.
