Coyote Shooting in Silver Lake – Is the Public Losing Patience with City Hall and Animal Services? Previous Article LA Animal Services’ Brenda Barnette: Hiding the Truth about Coyote Attacks and Rabies, or Clueless? Next Article Coyote Danger! Will LA Adopt Trap and Kill Plan? ANIMAL WATCH-The exploding coyote presence in Los Angeles -- and obvious lack of concern by LA Animal Services GM Brenda Barnette and other City officials -- has apparently caused some individuals to take things into their own hands. Two recent criminal acts may indicate that public patience is wearing thin and desperation is setting in. Is it possible that mounting anger over inaction regarding marauding coyotes is also symbolic of a seething rebellion against the greater issue of Los Angeles’ pompous, detached and inept local government, which acts without facts and worries more about the political and financial favor of advocacy groups than the safety of the electorate (and their pets)? The coyotes’ increasing boldness toward humans and the killing of furry or feathered family members has been treated by City Hall as just another irrelevant and ignorable quality-of-life issue until a recent motion by San Pedro Councilman Joe Buscaino instructed the Department of Animal Services to report with a plan to reduce the number of coyotes in Harbor communities -- a priority for constituents in his densely populated district. It’s also critical to uscaino’s upcoming re-election campaign -- and a wake-up call to other LA politicians. On July 1, the LA Times reported, “Mystery Shooter Kills Coyote in Silver Lake,” explaining that a Silver Lake resident found the dead coyote lying in front of his parked car in June and a gunshot was later determined as the cause of death. LAPD, the Animal Cruelty Task Force, plus the Department of Animal Services are all looking into the shooting. The Times states, “…some neighbors believed the killing was just the latest example of resident’s frustration with coyotes in Silver Lake,” which they describe as increasingly bold. “We’ve had them on our front lawn, 10 feet from the front of the house,” said one Silver Lake resident, lamenting that many cats have been taken and she worries about her toddler and five-week-old infant. Her husband added, “I love coyotes, but I love my dog more.” This expressed the attitude of most Angelenos, who enjoy living peacefully with wildlife, as long as it is reciprocal. In what appears to be an unrelated incident on May 24, LA Animal Services’ GM Brenda Barnette issued a media alert entitled, “WANTED injured coyote & illegal trapper,” announcing information about a coyote “whose leg was stuck in an illegal leg hold trap” in the Valley. Animal Control Officers (ACOs) responded immediately, the release stated but, “…unfortunately the coyote had disappeared.” On May 27, there was a second call that the trap was found, “along with one of the legs of the coyote still locked in the trap.” Barnette advised that, “ACOs are continuing patrols for both the distressed coyote and the illegal trapper.” Although the injured coyote was purported to have subsequently been seen in the North Hills area, no word of its capture followed. Los Angeles abhors the suffering of any domestic or wild animal. However, caustic comments on news coverage of the trapping compared LA Animal Services’ slow -- or nonexistent -- response to dog attacks or to coyotes killing pets and threatening humans, to the concern (and sudden availability of staff) for the trapped coyote. An obsequious report by Animal Services on Wednesday, June 29, assured coyote advocates and Paul Koretz’ Personnel and Animal Welfare Committee that LAAS, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the National Park Service all agree that the coyote population has not grown, but the same coyotes are being reported by multiple people on social media. Interestingly, the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife has posted prominently on its website, Coyote Attacks: an Increasing Suburban Problem (White Paper from the Hopland Research and Extension Center, University of California.) And, LA County Department of Public Health reports that coyote attacks on humans increased from two in 2011 to 15 in 2015, according to the Daily Breeze. Locally, a child and an adult male were bitten in Elysian Park last year in separate incidents. Reports from all over Los Angeles indicate alarm not just for the numbers of sightings but also because of the comfort-level evident when predators closely related to wolves are lounging on front lawns. A San Pedro resident told the Daily Breeze that, when he left for work before dawn in June, there were five coyotes spread across his yard. He added, “I’ve never seen anything like that in the past.” In January 2016, the National Park Service announced that a young female coyote, discovered with at least five pups living in the Echo Park area on September 23, 2015, was found drowned in MacArthur Park lake. “In the short time C-146 was tracked via a GPS collar, her travels displayed unusual behavior for a species that is territorial, the NPS report stated. “Since captured near the LA River in Northeast LA, she traveled as far south as downtown Los Angeles via the LA River, throughout Elysian Park, and into the Westlake neighborhood where she met her fate in MacArthur Park.” “They’re not coming from anywhere, they’re just here,” Niamh Quinn, advisor at the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, told the Daily Breeze, “They’re now established in urban communities and they’re reproducing successfully.” Dr. Quinn also clarified that declining food and water in the hills is NOT the reason for the coyotes’ increasingly aggressive behavior. It is the ease of raiding garbage cans in yards rather than exerting the energy to hunt and catch dinner. A Westlake/Echo Park unofficial coyote-watch networker advised this week that a coyote with a cat in its mouth was reported on Park View St. near Temple. A man walking a Chihuahua on Glendale Blvd. near the 101 Fwy. bridge reported that, “a coyote came out from under a car, grabbed the pup and ran up the hill with it.” And, another animal rescuer said she saw two coyotes near Hoover and Sanborn, each with a cat. In response to Buscaino’s motion, LA Animal Services posted a Report Back on the Coyote Management Program on June 24, recommending that Council “Receive and File.” Barnette states that the Department does not plan to trap or otherwise remove any wildlife and that “coyotes cause few problems that can’t be resolved with better coexistence training and compliance on the part of the city’s residents.” So far, her plan has not produced a noticeably positive result. Buscaino advised in a prepared statement, “I will continue to gauge the situation and the public comment and respond appropriately.” At the end of the one-hour discussion, Koretz stated, “I’m not sure we’ve completely exhausted this subject. We’ll have a further hearing to see if anything can be added to the program.” Is either sincere? It is insulting to residents who have lived peacefully with wildlife for decades for City Hall officials to accept Brenda Barnette’s pathetic, condescending explanation that there is no increasing coyote problem -- just a social-media illusion. There is no problem with coyotes being predators and acting on their natural survival instinct to kill and eat the most available prey. However, that cannot continue to be pets -- beloved family members. And Angelenos cannot live under the threat that children (or even adults) may be next. Where is the compassion for the innocent cats and dogs who experience unfathomable terror when snatched from their owner or yard in a coyote’s jaws and suffer horrific deaths being crushed or torn apart alive by its teeth? Has even one humane organization publicly mourned them or decried their deaths? While there is still time, and before the coyote population becomes overwhelming, City Hall must consult with experienced experts on the most humane way to drive coyotes away from heavily populate areas and back to a natural habitat, and then implement a plan. If not, escalating fear and desperation may cause more law-abiding residents to take the law into their own hands to protect those they love -- and voters will not forget. (Animal activist Phyllis M.

Home » Fashion » Are 8 Out of 10 Women Really Wearing the Wrong Bra Size? Are 8 Out of 10 Women Really Wearing the Wrong Bra Size? Walk into a Victoria’s Secret, and the hundreds of colorful, lacy options lining the walls and piled upon tables — bralette, demi-cup, wireless, racer back, sport, strapless — will swallow you. But before you grab a few bras to try on, you need to hedge your bets on what size you wear. The staff at Victoria’s Secret, along with many scientists and even, famously, Oprah, say you have a 20 percent chance of choosing right. That number — the idea that 80 percent of women are wearing the wrong bra size — has been ingrained in the minds of shoppers for decades, becoming a puzzle that no one can seem to solve. That’s because the statistic is bunk. There Are No Size Standards Researchers and retailers acknowledge that the 80 percent number isn’t foolproof, but they often use it to illustrate a widespread problem: ill-fitting bras. “We were actually encouraged to talk about that statistic,” said Carrie Gergely, who worked as a Victoria’s Secret bra fitter and store manager from 2003 to 2008. Ms. Gergely recognized that the size on the tag wasn’t the real issue. Knowing how to look for the right fit was. Women, she said, didn’t know how the cups were supposed to fit. They didn’t know where the chest plate between the breasts was supposed to lie, she said, and “they didn't know how the straps were supposed to rest, or where it should hit on their back. They just had no concept of how they were supposed to wear the bra.” Regardless, the “wrong size” became a mantra. One man, the plastic surgeon Edward Pechter, gets credit for it. Dr. Pechter first published the statistic in small 1998 study, writing in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery that 70 percent of women or more were wearing the incorrect bra size. The article outlined a new method for measuring breasts, with which he hoped to standardize sizing for augmentation and reduction surgeries. But Dr. Pechter didn’t reach his estimate through surveying a large and diverse sample. Instead he used anecdotal evidence from publications like Good Housekeeping, Ladies’ Home Journal and the Playtex Fit Guide. (He also studied only women who reported wearing cup sizes AA through DDD. Today you can find bras in sizes up to an O cup.) Jenny Burbage, a sports biomechanist at the University of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England, has made studying breasts (and how to support them) her life’s work. In one of her studies, “Evaluation of professional bra fitting criteria for bra selection and fitting in the UK,” Ms. Burbage noted that “it has been suggested that 70 to 100 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra,” citing Dr. Pechter’s work along with few other small studies to reach that range. “There aren’t many scientific papers available which have effectively looked at issues of bra fit and the number of women who may be wearing the wrong size bra,” Ms. Burbage said in an interview. Anecdotally, she sees “hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women” who come through her lab struggling with fit issues. Like Ms. Gergely, Dr. Burbage said the issue was not that people were simply wearing an incorrect size but that they often didn’t know how to check for the best fit. “Women are going to be different sizes in different bras,” she said. “I might have three or four different bra sizes based on what bra I’m wearing and what manufacturer that comes from.” The lack of standardization can be frustrating, but it also gives women more opportunity to find styles and shapes that work for them. The ‘Right’ Size If fit is relative, why are retailers still fixating on the idea that the right size exists? Online companies like ThirdLove and True&Co. promise that shoppers can find the perfect fit from their bedroom instead of a fitting room. Both ThirdLove and True&Co. call attention to their inclusive sizing and encourage women to shop via Fit Finder (ThirdLove) and Fit Quiz (True&Co.) tools, which recommend bras based on one’s breast shape, with names like “teardrop” or “bottom happy.” It’s a new approach for the lingerie industry, with gender and size inclusivity outpacing hypersexualized marketing. But, like Victoria’s Secret, they insinuate the same thing: that you’re wearing the wrong size and that they can help you find the right one. “We’ve always focused on this idea, ‘Are you wearing the right size?’” said Heidi Zak, the ThirdLove co-founder and chief executive. According to Ms. Zak, the company has consistently used the concept that people are wearing the wrong size in its marketing. She considers the statistic an invitation for shoppers to find bras that work, not an admonition. “I think that we’re actually trained as women to be like, ‘If you don’t wear a cookie-cutter size, then there’s nothing for you,’” she said. To combat that sentiment, ThirdLove sells bras in cup sizes AA to I, including some half-cup options. Sign up for our Wirecutter Weekly Newsletter to get our latest recommendations delivered straight to your inbox. Cora Harrington, the author of “In Intimate Detail: How to Choose, Wear, and Love Lingerie” and editor of the Lingerie Addict blog, eschews the oft-repeated 80-percent-plus number in her book. She couldn’t verify it, and she is not interested in repeating a figure that makes people feel as if they’ve failed before they even start shopping. “I’ve heard that stat for at least as long as I’ve been writing about lingerie,” Ms. Harrington said. Phrasing bra fitting as a chore, she said, or as something women are doing wrong, or that they don’t really know their bodies very well, doesn’t] “invite people to come in and learn more about bras.” Think Beyond the Size on the Label Ms. Harrington recognizes that shopping for a bra can be difficult but said there has never been a better time to do so. Online shopping means that people aren’t limited to the options in their neighborhood, and lingerie brands are now introducing lines in a greater range of sizes beyond D cups. (Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty line is doing it.) Ms. Harrington recommends reading reviews on blogs or forums, trying on as many bras as possible and going to specialized shops where expert fitters can provide feedback and new options. She said that once you find a style you like, you can look for discounted colorways from previous seasons, but she also encourages people to support boutiques when they can. Finding a bra that fits well is tricky not only because sizing varies by brand, but also because of how sizes are related to one another. LaJean Lawson, a scientist and consultant for the Champion sportswear brand, explained that the cup size is usually based on the difference between the band and bust measurements (below the rib cage and over the fullest part of the breast). The cup is measured by volume, and, confusingly, that volume can stay the same as you move down a band size and up a cup size, or up a band size and down a cup size. This is called sister sizing, and it means that, theoretically, a 34C could have a similar volume to a 32D or 36B. But bras may fit differently based on the shape of the bra and the band measurements, how your breast volume is distributed on your body and, again, by brand. With all of those variables at play, you may be surprised to find that the size that works best for you is pretty different from what you’re wearing. To ease label shock, the site What Bra Sizes Look Like, an offshoot from a community on Reddit called A Bra That Fits, displays photos submitted by visitors to show how different sizes can look. When you’re shopping for yourself, stay open to trying various sizes. Because there are so many variations in bra styles and sizes, finding a comfortable and supportive fit involves trial and error. (Wirecutter, the review site owned by The New York Times, has recommendations for how to shop for bras and check for fit.) But it may also mean accepting that as your body changes during menstruation, pregnancy or regular weight fluctuations, your bra size may change. Experts like Linda Becker, the fitter at Linda’s bra salon in Manhattan, recommend rechecking your bra fit every six months to a year. Ultimately, there is no shortcut to finding a good fit. But if your bra doesn’t fit, Ms. Harrington said, “the fault is not you.” ”I feel like if more companies and more brands were saying that, it might be easier for people.” Finding a bra that fits well is tricky. Staffers at Wirecutter, the review site owned by The New York Times, spoke with a variety of experts, including lingerie shop owners, professional bra fitters and even a biomechanics researcher, to try to make sense of it all. Here are some tips and tricks they’ve learned in reporting about different kinds of bras. — Anna Perling Most of a bra’s support comes from the band, and as such, the band should be snug. You want a few fingers’ worth (half an inch or so) of room at the back. If you can stretch a band farther away from your body, try a smaller band size. Fit the bra initially on the loosest setting so that you can tighten the band as the material stretches over time. The band should sit parallel to the floor and not ride up. You can raise your hands above your head to check for fit here. If the band rides up, it may be too big, and if it feels uncomfortably tight, it could be too small. Straps should be reasonably snug, not digging in or falling off. You can adjust the length accordingly. Wires should not float off your chest, sit on the breasts or dig into your sides. If they do, try a larger cup size. For underwire bras, the gore (the center piece joining the two cups) should lie flat on the center of your chest. If it’s floating off your body, your bra may be too big or too small (you can look for other fit signs to determine whether to size up or down), or you may just need to try a different style or brand. Cups should contain the breasts evenly, without creating spillage or cutting into your sides or the top part of your chest. Gaping means you may need a different cup size or a smaller band size. Baggy or wrinkled cups are a sign that a bra is too big. Spilling over the top and sides means a cup is too small. To make sure everything is sitting in your bra correctly, Iris Clarke of Iris Lingerie in Brooklyn recommends that you use the “scoop and swoop” technique. Once you have a bra on, lift a breast with your hand from the side, situating it in the cup and above the underwire, and then tuck or smooth the top of your tissue into the cup to let it settle. It sounds weird, but it makes a difference — breasts are dead weight, so you need to nudge them where you want them. Because a person’s breasts can be of unequal size, Ms. Clarke suggests fitting based on your larger breast so that you aren’t spilling out of a cup. For extra-tricky fits, some stores and tailors offer simple alterations for bra straps, bands or cups. Fees vary, so we recommend requesting a quote (or two).

Famous 2JZ powered Camaro is on ebay Most of us have seen this car posted on one blog or forum during this past year. Personally, I find this car to be a fine example of what custom cars have always been. In a sea of v8 powered classic muscle this car stands out and with good reason. The photography and videos in this ebay listing are among the best I have ever seen. Take a look for yourself! No 2010 Indy Pace Car replica It looks like there will be no Indy Pace Care replica Camaro in Chevy showrooms this summer. Chevrolet will produce a Bumblebee edition for those who like the Bumblebee Camaro from the Transformers movies. I give GM credit for not flooding their own market with different versions, something Ford has had no trouble doing with so many version of the Mustang on the option order sheets. First stolen 5th gen Camaro ORLAND — Northstate Motors, Glenn County's only new car dealership, already threatened by cutbacks from General Motors, suffered another blow early Friday morning when a new, $30,000 Chevrolet Camaro was allegedly stolen from the lot. An Orland police officer saw the car turn onto East Walker Street about 3:18 a.m. and immediately tried to pull it over. The driver sped toward Interstate 5, then headed north, leading Orland and California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed chase. Due to public safety concerns, the pursuit was called off. The bright yellow vehicle was found later Friday morning in Klamath Falls, Ore. Police there said they had one person in custody in connection with the alleged theft, but didn't release a name. Source: chicoer.com Nice Camaro burnout We like this one! American tuning house Artisan is teaming up with Turbochargers.com to create a turn-key tuner out of the brand new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. Using a similar formula as its Lexus IS-F SEMA car, the crew is using a duo of rear-mounted GTK350 turbos, a cat-back exhaust, intercooler and a tweaked ECU to gain a total of 600 horses from the SS' 6.2-liter V8. The body gains a 1.5-inch flare on the front guards and a three-inch stretch in the rear where a set of 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) iForged rims live, framing massive 14-inch SSBC Brakes. A replacement front lip, rear diffuser, gauge package, Artisan-embroidered head-rests, BASF Glasurit paint and a token numbered plaque finish off the upgrades. All the go-fast parts are for sale separately but the full turn-key package will cost $69,000 USD when the Artisan SA-600 goes on sale stateside this June.

The Michigan based design firm ASC Creative Services, has released images of a Pontiac Firebird that can be yours if you provide a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and a fat bank account. The body kit includes Firebird decals and other styling cues that make it hard to miss. 300 Camaros being recalled DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Corp. says it is recalling about 300 new Chevrolet Camaros because a battery cable could rub against the starter motor, wearing the insulation and potentially causing the car to stop running or fail to start. The voluntary recall applies only to some Camaros with V-8 engines (SS models). The company says in extreme cases the cable problem could cause a fire, but no fires have been reported. GM spokesman Dan Flores says the company has made about 1,400 of the V-8 equipped 2010 Camaros and 300 have been sold. The unsold models will be fixed before they are delivered to customers. Flores says GM will tow the cars to dealers and offer free loaner vehicles and oil changes. 1969 Camaro RS/SS Raffle Car Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support Services is holding a raffle with a grand prize of a 1969 RS/SS convertible Camaro, professionally rebuilt by the brother of an original Jacob's Heart child.

CAN 148 THE GUIDE TO BEING AN AWESOME CANADIAN! FIRST, TRUTH. NOW COMES THE HARD PART. Whatshisname for president By ALLEN ABEL Maclean's | July 6 2015 CAN 148 (1) ECONOWATCH (1) PAN AM TORONTO (3) TO CELEBRATE CANADA’S 148th birthday, Maclean’s has produced 148 videos that explore what it really feels like to be Canadian. Filmed almost exclusively with GoPro cameras to capture intimate points of view, these short films take you from the top of the Peace Tower to the Top of the World highway and beyond. A few days after the Truth and Reconciliation closing ceremonies in Ottawa, I boarded the Little Bear, that iconic train running between Cochrane and Moosonee. The plan was to decompress with my friend, the Cree legend William Tozer, at his remote camp about 210 km north of Cochrane. By JOSEPH BOYDEN Tanya at the Avis counter at the Cedar Rapids airport has never heard of him. Misty at the front desk of the Quality Inn in Coralville has never heard of him. Kelly at the food truck in Iowa City has never heard of him. Neither have Nikki and Maria at the University of Iowa Bookstore. By ALLEN ABEL A testo ! faith The Ku Klux Klansman’s stepson was at the end of the bar, pouring another Budweiser over ice. It was 37° C outside on the highway that ran from the old plantations down toward Charleston by the sea, and the humidity was Congolese. America’s most beautiful, most haunted city was in mourning, yet again—nine Christian believers, all of them African-American, shot down at Bible study before by, allegedly, an addled, paleface son of the beaten South. By ALLEN ABEL TELEVISION IS THE NEW TELEVISION “The belief continues, cult-like, that digital media will soon and decisively prevail,” writes Wolff, an award-winning media columnist. As you might have guessed, he doesn’t think this belief is true. This book is a short, punchy, contrarian answer to all the digital triumphalism that Wolff’s fellow journalists have engaged in over the last decade. By JAIME J. WEINMAN “The new real estate wars” (Economy, June 22) caused me to wonder if municipal residential tax rates were keeping pace with the dramatic rise in housing prices. They’re not. Check out the city of Toronto’s 2015 property tax rates for a home assessed at $524,833 and the taxes payable are a paltry $3,703.24, which includes education, transit levy and general taxes. James Rajotte accomplished more in politics than most: five-time Canadian Alliance and Conservative MP for Edmonton ridings, and chairman of two powerful Commons committees (Industry, then Finance). But he never had a chair at the cabinet table, and, last week, the 44-yearold MP announced he won’t run again this fall. By PAUL WELLS Tom McLean won’t call himself a “knife fan.” He’s not a hunter and, therefore, doesn’t have much use for a deadly bowie knife. Nor does he have any decorative pieces filled with flashy gems. In the backyard shed of his home in London, Ont., however, is enough steel and wood for him to customize what would be the prized possession of any high-end chef. PAN AM TORONTO The day Andre De Grasse drifted onto the Canadian track scene—running the 100-m in a stunning 10.59 seconds— he got confused on his way to the podium. He’d blown away a field of high school allstars, posting a time that would have beaten a lot of nationally carded sprinters. By CHARLIE GILLIS FIXING THE VOTE Only a few years ago, the movement to scrap Canada’s old winnertake-all system for electing members of Parliament and provincial legislatures seemed to have run out of steam. Between 2005 and 2009, in three separate referendums—first in Prince Edward Island, then in Ontario and, finally, in British Columbia—electoral reform proposals all went down to defeat.

December, with its Xmas jumpers, office parties and the once-a-year crowd, is the worst month for regular pub-goers, and quite understandably there are far less special events to report on, which is reflected in this column. The devastating shock of the month was the news that Duke’s Brew & Que was closing immediately. As I’m sure every reader knows, it was Beavertown’s birth-place, and, on that basis alone, deserved a Blue Plaque for its contribution to the London scene. It remained an excellent bar, a perfectly passable BBQ restaurant, and an excellent place to avoid the tap-room queues for special launches. It will be sorely missed. There are a lot of unanswered questions, which Beavertown ducked on social media, with all the evasiveness of a professional politician. It always seemed very full when I was there, but clearly I haven’t seen the accounts. They may have fallen victim to an unexpected rent review, but that doesn’t explain the main issue, which is timing: Firstly, why close at the beginning of December, the aforementioned month of festive spenders? Secondly, why not announce the decision in advance, and finish with a closing party? I am sure many drinkers would have deliberately visited before it shut down: I would have done. I can’t think of a business failure as stunning as this since the craft beer boom began. Is it possible that this is the canary in the coalmine? I very much doubt it, but then again very few people saw any problems when a few small subprimes went bust in February 2007. The fact that the rest of this column is mostly about openings shows, that, in Charles ‘Chuck’ Prince’s unfortunate turn of phrase, the music is still player and the industry is still dancing (if you don’t know about finance then it is worth looking up –Ed). I suspect this is a one-off, but I do worry the growing fashion to Crowdfund tap-rooms with advance sales discounts, which is very bubbly. The Bottle Shop in Bermondsey attracts less of the December crowd, and, so put on the most interesting events: Haze Night featured Verdant (I Played Bass On That Tune IPA), Fuerst Wiacek, a brewery of which I am not nearly as big a fan as others and Stigbergets (Api Lairepmi DIPA, Muddle IPA, beer of the night), who were the winners hands down. Northern Monk TTO featured three collaborations, Malt (imperial porter, with De Molen), Hops (DIPA, Deya) and Yeast (DDH saison with 18th Street). Brewski: I’ve enjoyed their fruit-based offerings in the past but strangely found them a little disappointing, although I enjoyed 50 States of Freedom, a Berliner Weisse with Cycle. WarPigs brought the old favourites, Wheezin’ The Juice IPA, Lazurite IPA and Cry For Help, Rick, a porter. They also had a, most definitely not the, Mikkeller week, although I had a stinking cold, so it would be silly to pass judgment on the specific beers. It was also great of Amex to include the Arch in their Small Business Fortnight, which led to a welcome £5 off the bill! Its wholesale arm cold-chained Modern Times Critical Band IPA, an absolutely fantastic tropical NEIPA, which received rave reviews wherever it popped up further down the retail chain. It does leave me pining for City Of The Sun though. Heineken finally made their much anticipated entry into the craft beer scene. However, it was a lot less dramatic than many, including myself, had predicted/feared. Rather than an outright takeover of one of the bigger fish, they invested a minority stake in the smaller Brixton, who will use the cash to expand capacity by five-times. The move is less than half a mile away, so they will retain their local character. It is very early days, but this news could have been a lot worse. The King’s Arms produced a stunning list for NYE: Kernel Damson Sour, Mikkeller Spontanblackberry, the wonderful Moor Old Freddie Walker, on cask, Rodenbach 2017 Vintage, Stigbergets Api Lairepmi DIPA and Cloudwater/Pilcrow The Missing Piece IPA .The only slight criticism was three imperial stouts (Cloudwater/To Ol Xmas cake , To Ol Yolomaelk and Omnipollo Noa Pecan) but no barley wines. Moor opened a London tap-room very close to BBNo, so clearly targeting the B******** B*** M*** crowd.There has been some criticism from brewers that this is slightly cynical, as they are not actually brewing there, and already have a very efficient London distribution network. (photo BeerGuideLondon) Would they welcome a FourPure tap-only space in Bristol? As a customer, though, it is clearly great, as Moor brew terrific beers, and show a devotion to cask that is unsurpassed in the modern craft scene. At the launch, I enjoyed Rey of Light, a DIPA whose name reflects Justin’s fanaticism for a well known space opera, although I found it a bit overly alcoholic when I subsequently had it in a pub Between Xmas & the New Year I managed the Triple Crown of walking, on successive days, to each of the King’s Arms, Earl of Essex and then finally The Axe. It was good to experience Mauritz’s knowledge and enthusiasm again, with his recommendation of Garage’s About Thyme Berliner Weisse, predictably spot-on. For those of you haven’t already read it, I would recommend an excellent article by Mark Dredge (click here) on the phenomenon that is NEIPA. A brief round-up of the flurry of openings: Siren re-opened a new, expanded tap-room at their Berkshire brewery, although I have yet to re-visit. Thornbridge announced a joint-venture with Pivovar (wholesaler, and bar operator, including Euston Tap) to open 10 new sites across the country, with the first in Birmingham. Former Beavertown head brewer Jen Merrick will open Earth Project, in Royal Docks, with production hopefully coming on stream in mid 2018. Two pubs launched from stables with impeccable credentials: Brave Sir Robin in Crouch Hill, from the Rose & Crown owners, and Small Beer in Crouch End, from The Prince & Duke’s Head. Unfortunately, I missed BBNo’s 5th birthday party at the tap-room, which was apparently great. I did try the 5th Anniversary DDH Pale Ale, their first can offering, and a superb juice-bomb. Finally, a truly bizarre story that should act as a warning against taking any on-line customer review sites too seriously, in which Oobah Butler used fake reviews to push his South London garden shed into being rated the capital’s top restaurant (click here). Here’s looking at you, RateBeer & Untapped…. Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated? – No Fun in beer-land Uniting the brewing generations

May 4, 2019, 8:55 am / bestcryptoexchange95106.ampblogs.com The 7-Minute Rule for Dogecoin Mining Solution 2 will cope with scaling by allowing for more information to be processed every 10 minutes. . In July 2017, bitcoin miners and mining companies representing roughly 80% to 90 percent of the networks computing power required to incorporate a program that would reduce the amount of data needed to verify each block. In other words, they went with Solution 1. The program that miners voted to increase the bitcoin protocol is called a segregated witness, or SegWit. This expression is an amalgamation of Segregated, meaning to separate, and Witness, which refers to signatures on a bitcoin transaction. Segregated Witness, then, means to separate transaction signatures out of a block and attach them within an extended block. Less than a month later in August 2017, a group of miners and developers initiated a tricky disk, leaving the bitcoin network to create a new currency using the same codebase as bitcoin. Although this team agreed with the need for a solution to scaling, they worried adopting segregated witness technology would not completely address the scaling problem. . Some Known Details About Bitcoin Sites Instead, they went with Solution 2. The resulting currency, called bitcoin money, increased the blocksize to 8 Mb in order to accelerate the verification process to permit a performance of around 2 million transactions per day. In the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash is valued at $545.00 to Bitcoins $6,328.11. The Trezor: January 4, 2016: 7.4 BTC $3,000In January 2016, I spent $3,000 to buy 7.4 bitcoins. At the moment, it seemed an entirely worthwhile thing to do. I'd recently begun working as a research manager at the Institute for its Futures Blockchain Futures Lab, and I wanted firsthand experience with bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that uses a blockchain to list transactions on its network. The Single Strategy To Use For Canadian Coins It was surprisingly simple to buy stuff with the cryptocurrency. I used the airBitz app to purchase Starbucks credit. I used Purse.io to buy a wireless security camera doorbell from Amazon. I my website used bitcoin in Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles to purchase graphic novels.By November, bitcoins worth had nearly doubled since January and was continuing to increase almost everyday. An Unbiased View of Bitcoin Margin Trading Id been keeping my bitcoin keys on an internet wallet, however I wanted to move them to a more protected location. Many online bitcoin providers retain their customers confidential bitcoin keys, which means that the accounts are vulnerable to hackers and fraudsters (remember the time Mt. Gox lost 850,000 bitcoins from its clients accounts in 2014) or governments (like the time BTC-e, a Russian bitcoin exchange, had its domain seized by US District Court for New Jersey in August, freezing the assets of its customers ). I interviewed a handful of bitcoin specialists, and they all told me that that safest way to safeguard your cache was to use something called a pocket. I depended on a hardware wallet called the Trezor (the Czech word for safe), described by the manufacturer as bulletproof. I purchased one on November 22 article source for $100 on Amazon (again, through Purse.io).When that the Trezor came, I plugged it into my pc and went to the Trezor website to set it up. The website instructed me to write down 24 words, randomly generated by the Trezor one word at a time. The words were like aware, proceed, fashion, and sour. I wrote them on a sheet of orange paper. Next, I was prompted to create a PIN. I wrote it down (choosing a couple of short number combinations I had been familiar with and may easily remember ) on precisely the exact same bit of paper since the 24-word list.The Trezor website explained that these 24 phrases were my retrieval words and could be used to generate the master private key for my bitcoin. It was important for me to maintain the newspaper hidden and secure, because anyone can use it to steal my 7.4 bitcoins. I transferred my currency in my online wallet into my Trezor, tossing the Trezor and the orange piece of paper into a desk drawer in my home office. I was going to get it done directly following the holidays.The Mistake: March 16, 2017: 7.4 BTC $8,799It was 6:30 in the morning.

SportPool Underdog has his day! Shaz in pool final 07 February, 2019 — By Steve Barnett Shaz Khan KING’S Cross Hurricane Shaz Khan is waiting to find out who will be standing between him and a singles crown after he stormed into the final on Monday night. More than 120 players entered the chase to win the Chalk Farm Pool League’s prestigious competition at the start of the season – and now there are just four left standing. Khan would surely have been ranked as the underdog when he saw his semi-final opponent was Simon Wild, the man who earlier in the night knocked out reigning singles champion Chris Heim. And it looked as if Wild, who plays for Boston OldSkool, was heading for the final when he took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five-frames showdown at the Hurricane Room in King’s Cross. But Khan battled back to level the scores. In the decider he then took full advantage of an unforced error as he used his two-shot advantage to calmly clear the table and seal a 3-2 victory. Khan will now wait to see which of Danny Fry, Mark Piercey and Nick Campbell play their way to the final on the other side of the draw.

Our PERs ENF Reports District, State, Grand Lodge Lodge of Sorrow Links for Veterans Stray Elks Download Activity Report Legacy Awards Patriot Day Jolly Corks 11 O'Clock Toast Grand Lodge... Elks Home Page Elks National Foundation Eleven O'Clock Toast Origin of the Toast In regard to the Elks' 11 O'Clock Toast and its origin, we have to go back long before the BPOE came into existence. One of the main contributions of Charles Richardson -- in stage name of Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian and founder of the American branch of the Jolly Corks -- was to deliver into the hands of newborn Elks the rituals and traditions of a fraternal organization started in England around 1010 A.D., the Royal and Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes, to which he belonged prior to coming to New York. The RAOB, or Buffaloes as we shall henceforth refer to them, also practiced an 11 o'clock toast in remembrance of the Battle of Hastings in October of 1066. Following his victory, William of Normandy imported a set of rules, both martial and civil in nature, to keep control of a seething Norman-Saxon population always on the edge of a revolution. Among those rules was a curfew law requiring all watch fires, bonfires (basically all lights controlled by private citizens that could serve as signals) to be extinguished at 11 each night. From strategically placed watchtowers that also served as early fire-alarm posts, the call would go out to douse or shutter all lights and bank all fires. This also served to discourage secret and treasonous meetings, as chimney sparks stood out against the black sky. A person away from his home and out on the darkened streets, when all doors were barred for the night, risked great peril from either evildoers or patrolling militia. The hour of 11 quickly acquired a somber meaning, and in the centuries that followed, became the synonym throughout Europe for someone on his deathbed or about to go into battle: i.e. "His family gathered about his bed at the 11th hour," or "The troops in the trenches hastily wrote notes to their families as the 11th hour approached when they must charge over the top." Thus, when the 15 Jolly Corks (of whom seven were not native-born Americans) voted on February 16, 1868, to start a more formal and official organization, they were already aware of an almost universally prevalent sentiment about the mystic and haunting aura connected with the nightly hour of 11, and it took no great eloquence by Vivian to establish a ritual toast similar to that of the Buffaloes at the next-to-last hour each day. The great variety of 11 O'Clock Toasts, including the Jolly Corks Toast, makes it clear that there was no fixed and official version until 1906-10. Given our theatrical origins, it was almost mandatory that the pre-1900 Elks would be expected to compose a beautiful toast extemporaneously at will. Regardless of the form, however, the custom is as old as the Elks. 127 W Pine Ave, Crestview FL 32536 (near the Courthouse)

News24 has reported that three board members have recently resigned from the SABC after reports of political interference. Board member Krish Naidoo, Deputy chairperson Khanyisile Kweyam and DA nominee John Mattison, are the trio that is said to who have left the public broadcaster’s board. Naidoo said that some of the board members’ inability to understand the difference between accountability, corporate independence and political interference had unfortunately created a breakdown in the relationship with South Africa’s new Minister of Communications, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams. Ndabeni-Abrahams was previously reported to be opposing the SABC’s proposed job cuts, which include the retrenchment of almost 1,000 permanent and 1,200 freelance workers. She had previously stated that it would be in the government’s best interest to avoid these proposed retrenchments because the government still has a responsibility to reduce unemployment. However, the SABC board has reportedly stuck to its guns on its plan to cut jobs. In a leaked letter Ndabeni-Abrahams wrote that the SABC board made it clear at a recent meeting that, irrespective of the success of a bailout or a government guarantee, they would still proceed with the retrenchments. She added that she was ready to stop engaging with the SABC because of its refusal to cancel the job cuts. The SABC needs approximately R3 billion by March 2019 in order to continue paying wages and other expenses.

Adventures In A Mind-Blowing Marketplace Paws Through Time And Space/The TARDIS Cat art from the Jenny Parks Illustration website. Wizard World Chicago Comic Con drew an enormous crowd to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont this past weekend. While most of the attendees no doubt came from the surrounding area, it was more fun imagining that at least some of them dropped in from other galaxies or dimensions. Quite a few guys came dressed as The Doctor from Doctor Who, and the definite article himself was there in the form of actor Matt Smith. Karen Gillan, who portrayed The Doctor’s companion Amy Pond (and is in the blockbuster Guardians Of The Galaxy) was also on hand, along with John Barrowman, another Doctor Who alum. Other celebrity guests included Patrick Stewart, Stan Lee, James Marsters, William Shatner, Katie Cassidy, Levar Burton, Elvira, and several other TV and film stars. A good percentage of the previously mentioned enormous crowd was waiting anxiously for Smith Saturday afternoon as he arrived for his Autograph Op session, so my wife and I were only able to catch a quick glimpse of him. The best way to guarantee getting a close-up look at one of the better-known stars is to pay the extra bucks for one of the Autograph or Photo Ops. In addition to grabbing a few moments with a favorite celebrity, Wizard World Chicago Comic Con offered two large rooms filled with vendors. Not surprisingly, there were a lot of comic books for sale, but there were also t-shirts, action figures, posters, masks, costumes, books, and the Micro Drone 2.0. People in costumes wandered throughout both rooms and there were at least two large-scale creatures in the main lobby. All were more than willing to pose for pictures. We took photos of a Weeping Angel holding a Wizard World shopping bag, Wonder Woman, Batman, Batgirl, and a life-size TARDIS. The talent varied throughout the long rows of seated artists and writers that comprised Artists Alley, but once again there was no shortage of clever and imaginative creations. Jenny Parks’ illustrations are funny mash-ups of realistic cats faces and pop culture heroes from Star Trek, Doctor Who, Batman, Harry Potter, and other films and TV shows. Corbyn S. Kern’s impressive gallery includes portraits of the actors who have played The Doctor, as well as montages of them with their various companions. Kevin McPartlin AKA Mr. Antihero, creates comic book and graphic novel stencils; Onrie Kompan and his staff have published a series of elaborately illustrated graphic novels based on the true life Korean naval commander Yi Soon Shin; and Brian Liss renders film and TV art via eye-popping colors. Other notable artists at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con included Kevin West, Katrina Catizone, Brian Long, Matt Leese, and Mike Mahle.

The Image (1975) (18+) This is the movie that makes almost every movie list, but Tarantino's cinematic brilliance is encapsulated with a ball-gagged Bruce Willis and a seriously butt-fucked Ving Rhames taking out their captors with a machete -- and apparently, later, a blowtorch. Or at least some rough sex afterward. The true fulfillment for this viewer was delving deeper into the themes of that the characters were exploring in their relationships. It also does something all films should consider. We do not check the links and have no influence on videos that are hidden behind the streaming link.

The plot was hole-ier than a pegboard, but we get to see Julianne Moore in the buff, which is never a bad thing. This film has scenes that are well past that limit. It does span a lot of genres and depth, but it's still a coherent piece of work and everything that makes our band our band, personally I would say it's an ambitious debut record.

By Tom Engelhardt The Nation April 7, 2008 http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?bid=15πd=307286 They came, they saw, they deserted. That, in short form, is the story of the recent Iraqi government 'offensive' in Basra (and Baghdad ). It took a few days, but the headlines on stories out of Iraq ('Can Iraq 's Soldiers Fight?') now tell a grim tale and the information in them is worse yet. Stephen Farrell and James Glanz of the New York Times estimate that at least 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen, or more than 4% of the force sent into Basra , 'abandoned their posts' during the fighting, including 'dozens of officers' and 'at least two senior field commanders.' Other pieces offer even more devastating numbers. For instance, Sudarsan Raghavan and Ernesto Londono of the Washington Post suggest that 30% of government troops had 'abandoned the fight before a cease-fire was reached.' Tina Susman of the Los Angeles Times offers 50% as an estimate for police desertions in the midst of battle in Baghdad 's vast Sadr City slum, a stronghold of cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia. In other words, after years of intensive training by American advisors and an investment of $22 billion dollars, US military spokesmen are once again left trying to put the best face on a strategic disaster (from which they were rescued thanks to negotiations between Muqtada al-Sadr and advisors to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, brokered in Iran by General Qassem Suleimani, a man on the U.S. Treasury Department's terrorist watch list). Think irony. 'From what we understand,' goes the lame American explanation, 'the bulk of these [deserters] were from fairly fresh troops who had only just gotten out of basic training and were probably pushed into the fight too soon.' This week, with surge commander General David Petraeus back from Baghdad 's ever redder, ever more dangerous 'Green Zone,' here are a few realities to keep in mind as he testifies before Congress: 1. The situation in Iraq is getting worse: Don't believe anyone who says otherwise. The surge-ified, 'less violent' Iraq the general has presided over so confidently is, in fact, a chaotic, violent tinderbox of city states, proliferating militias armed to the teeth, competing regions armed to the teeth, and competing religious factions armed to the teeth. Worse yet, under Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, the U.S. has been the great proliferator. It has armed and funded close to 100,000 Sunnis organized into militias reportedly intent on someday destroying 'the Iranians' (i.e. the Maliki government). It has also supported Shiite militias (aka the Iraqi army). In Basra , it took sides in a churning Shiite civil war. As Nir Rosen summed matters up in a typically brilliant piece in the Nation, Baghdad today is but a set of 'fiefdoms run by warlords and militiamen,' a pattern the rest of the country emulates. 'The Bush administration,' he adds, 'and the U.S. military have stopped talking of Iraq as a grand project of nation-building, and the U.S. media have dutifully done the same.' Meanwhile, in the little noticed north, an Arab/Kurdish civil war over the oil- rich city of Kirkuk , and possibly Mosul as well, is brewing. This, reports Pepe Escobar of Asia Times, could be explosive. Think nightmare. 2. The Bush administration has no learning curve. Its top officials are unable to absorb the realities of Iraq (or the region) and so, like the generals of World War I, simply send their soldiers surging 'over the top' again and again, with minor changes in tactics, to the same dismal end. Time.com's Tony Karon, at his Rootless Cosmopolitan blog, caught this phenomenon strikingly, writing that Maliki's failed offensive 'shared the fate of pretty much every similar initiative by the Bush Administration and its allies and proxies since the onset of the `war on terror." 3. The 'success' of the surge was always an expensive illusion, essentially a Ponzi scheme, for which payment will someday come due. To buy time for its war at home, the Bush administration put out IOUs in Iraq to be paid in future chaos and violence. It now hopes to slip out of office before these fully come due. 4. A second hidden surge, not likely to be discussed in the hearings this week, is now under way. U.S. air reinforcements, sent into Iraq over the last year, are increasingly being brought to bear. There will be hell to pay for this, too, in the future. 5. A reasonably undertaken but speedy total withdrawal from Iraq is the only way out of this morass (and, at this late date, it won't be pretty); yet such a proposal isn't even on the table in Washington . In fact, as McClatchy's Warren Strobel and Nancy Youssef report, disaster in Basra has 'silenced talk at the Pentagon of further U.S. troop withdrawals any time soon.' Since April 2003, each administration misstep in Iraq has only led to worse missteps. Unfortunately, little of this will be apparent in this week's shadowboxing among Washington 's 'best and brightest,' who will again plunge into a 'debate' filled with coded words, peppered with absurd fantasies, and rife with American symbolism that only an expert like professor of religion Ira Chernus is likely to decipher. 'It's time,' he writes, while considering the upcoming Petraeus testimony, 'to insist that war should be seen not through the lens of myth and symbol, but as the brutal, self-defeating reality it is.' Tom Engelhardt, who runs the Nation Institute's Tomdispatch.com ('a regular antidote to the mainstream media'), is the co-founder of the American Empire Project and, most recently, the author of Mission Unaccomplished: Tomdispatch Interviews with American Iconoclasts and Dissenters (Nation Books), the first collection of Tomdispatch interviews. His book, The End of Victory Culture ( University of Massachusetts Press), has just been thoroughly updated in a newly issued edition that deals with victory culture's crash-and- burn sequel in Iraq .

Fantasy Fairway Blog The Most Fun and Strategic Fantasy Golf Experience! Tag Archives: fantasy golf pool Fantasy Golf Advice – 2013 PGA schedule Review Posted on December 2, 2013 by Ryan Banquer Hello golf world! Welcome back to the Fantasy Fairway golf blog, your home for fantasy golf news, analysis and all things fantasy. Today we will continue our fantasy golf analysis series of the 2013 fantasy golf season. As with the previous articles in this series, we are looking back at the season using data from the fantasy fairway golf leagues as a basis of comparison. Today we are going to review the 2013 PGA schedule and take a look at who fantasy players took the most for each tournament, who won the event and how many players took that player and a few notes for each tournament. Remember that FantasyFairway.com fantasy golf game is a one and done format, meaning that each team can only select each PGA player once throughout the season. Please keep this in mind while looking at the analysis. Starting with the Sony Open in Hawaii we will show the most popular pick with the percentage of players who picked the player in parenthesis. Next, we will also show the number of players who took the winner in parenthesis along with some tournament notes. Sony Open in Hawaii Most Popular Pick – Charles Howell III (14% selected) Winner – Russell Henley (0 selected) Notes – The fantasy golf season starts off with a great event in Hawaii. Coming off a T2 in 2012 and known as a strong January player, CH3 was the most popular pick to start the season. Henley had a strong 4 rounds, shooting 3 63s and a 67 to win the event by 3 strokes. CH3 ended up with a strong T3 to reward the players that chose him based on his history of strong starts. Humana Challenge Most Popular Pick – Brandt Snedeker (11% selected) Winner – Brian Gay (2 selected) Notes – Gay wins a 3-way playoff with CH3 (I told you he starts out hot) and David Lingmerth. Some big names entered the tournament and missed the cut – Tim Clark, Bill Haas, Webb Simpson, and Immelman. While the other big names had mediocre showings, – Kuchar (T16), Snedeker (T23), Mickelson (T37). Makes you wonder about taking big names early in the season, no matter how appealing they may look. Farmers Insurance Open Winner – Tiger Woods (18 selected) Notes – Defending champ Tiger Woods paid off fantasy golfers that went with the chance to win vs. the big payout as 18 people took home over $1M points by taking Tiger. The most popular pick Snedeker also paid out with a solid T2. Tiger owns this event winning 7 times including 4 in a row from 2005 – 2008. It’s a tough strategy call to take Tiger here with the allure of winning a $1.5+M tournament, but when you have almost a guaranteed $1M points here it is hard to pass up, especially if you took him at the match play, memorial, or the PGA championship. Waste Management Phoenix Open Most Popular Pick – Rickie Fowler (13% selected) Winner – Phil Mickelson (5 selected) Notes – Phil picks up a wire-to-wire victory here and was a prelude to how he would perform later in the year. Snedeker continued his strong play with back to back 2nd place finishes. Most Popular Pick – Dustin Johnson (22% selected) Winner – Brandt Snedeker (22 selected) Notes – This was a tough call for fantasy golfers. DJ owned this course since he has come on tour. From 2008-2010 he finished T7, 1, and 1 at Pebble Beach. Later in 2010 he was cruising to a US Open win at Pebble Beach with a 3 stroke lead In the final round before he imploded on the second hole with a triple bogey and then a double bogey on the third ending his round with an 82 and settling for a T8. He finished T55 in 2011 and T5 in 2012, so he appeared to shake off the meltdown but missed the cut in 2013 as the most popular pick on FantasyFairway.com. At the same time, there was no player hotter than Snedeker at the time and he rewarded players with the win. As hot as Snedeker was, sadly this would be the last time we would see him on tour for a month due to rib injury. He may not have been able to sustain the pace, but we’ll never know how special (more so than it already was) for Snedeker without the injury. Most Popular Pick – Jimmy Walker (18% selected) Winner – John Merrick (0 selected) Notes – John Merrick comes out of nowhere to earn his first PGA tour win over a pretty solid field. Bill Haas, Schwartzel, Simpson, Mahan all finished in the Top 10. While other big names like Adam Scott, Els, Furyk, Sergio, Keegan Bradley, and Luke Donald all had strong showings gearing up for the WGC. World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship Most Popular Pick – Charl Schwartzel (12% selected) Winner – Matt Kuchar (9 selected) Notes – This is by far my favorite event, I love the format and I love that it is its own unique style of golf and pits the golfers one on one. That being said, I think it is one of the more difficult events to pick. The 1 seeds did not fair very well with Rory and Tiger getting bounced in the first round and the other two 1 seeds (Oosthuizen and Donald) were eliminated in Round 2. Watson was the only 1 or 2 seed to make it to Round 3. In the end Kuchar outlasted Mahan for the victory and a big payday for those who selected him. Kuchar’s career match play record is a very impressive 14-3. The Honda Classic Most Popular Pick – Graeme McDowell (12% selected) Winner – Michael Thompson (0 selected) Notes – Michael Thompson’s first career PGA victory coms at the Honda Classic. Thompson had the lead going into the final day and held off some pretty big names like Bradley, Rose, Schwartzel, and Westwood who all enjoyed top 10 finishes. World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship Most Popular Pick – Matt Kuchar (12% selected) Notes – Looking for back to back WGC victories, Kuchar was the most popular pick. Tiger picks up the win for the $1.5M payday, while Kuchar finished T35. Some familiar names at the top, as you’d expect at a WGC event, with Stricker, Phil, Sergio, McDowell, and Adam Scott all within 5 strokes and T3 or better. Puerto Rico Open Most Popular Pick – Luke Guthrie (7% selected) Winner – Scott Brown (0 selected) Notes – Scott Brown takes home the victory in Puerto Rico. Notable finishes include Jordan Spieth with a T2 and Boo Weekly T8. This may have been the launching pad for great seasons out of both Spieth and Weekly. Tampa Bay Championship Most Popular Pick – Sergio Garcia (13% selected) Winner – Kevin Streelman (0 selected) Notes – Kevin Streelman takes home the victory, holding off Boo Weekly and Luke Donald for the win. Donald, Leonard, Sergio, Spieth, and Furyk all have good showings. Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard Most Popular Pick – Tiger Woods (18% selected) Notes – Tiger Woods was the most popular pick and delivered as expected and takes back the #1 world ranking in the process. Justin Rose finishes second. Most Popular Pick – Fredrik Jacobson (17% selected) Winner – Martin Laird (0 selected) Notes – Laird holds off Rory for a win and a trip to Augusta. Shell Houston Open Most Popular Pick – Steve Stricker (18% selected) Winner – D.A. Points (0 selected) Notes – D.A. Points earns a spot at Augusta with the win. Winner – Adam Scott (15 selected) Notes – Adam Scott picks up the green jacket in a playoff vs. Angel Cabrera who won his own green jacket in 2009. Jason Day and Tiger finish 2 and 4 strokes back respectively. RBC Heritage Most Popular Pick – Jim Furyk (11% selected) Winner – Graeme McDowell (2 selected) Notes – McDowell picks up the win at Harbour Town, defeating Webb Simpson in a playoff. Luke Donald finished 2 strokes back. Zurich Classic of New Orleans Most Popular Pick – Justin Rose (13% selected) Winner – Billy Horschel (22 selected) Notes – Watched the final round of the Zurich in person, and Billy Horschel put on a putting clinic sealing the victory with a 27 footer on 18. Most Popular Pick – Webb Simpson (18% selected) Winner – Derek Ernst (0 selected) Notes – Derek Ernst takes out David Lynn in a playoff to earn the victory and a trip to the Players Championship. Phil finished 1 stroke behind settling for a T3 and Lee Westwood finished T4. Most Popular Pick – Luke Donald (17% selected) Winner – Tiger Woods (6 selected) Notes – Tiger continued his outstanding season with a victory at the Players, the highest paying event on tour. Tiger hasn’t always had a ton of success here, but he appeared on top of his game to cruise to the victory by 2 strokes. Most Popular Pick – Jason Day (19% selected) Winner – Sang-Moon Bae (0 selected) Notes – Sang-Moon Bae comes out of nowhere to take the Byron Nelson championship over Keegan Bradley and Charl Schwartzel. Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Most Popular Pick – Zach Johnson (18% selected) Winner – Boo Weekley (1 selected) Notes – Boo Weekly’s redemption tour continued with an impressive victory at Colonial. He carded a steady 67,67,66,66 to earn the victory over Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson. the Memorial Tournament Most Popular Pick – Matt Kuchar (9% selected) Winner – Matt Kuchar (27 selected) Notes – Fresh off a second place at Colonial, Kuchar earned his second victory of the season at the Memorial. The most popular pick of the week delivered with the victory and over $1M points. Most Popular Pick – Scott Stallings (9% selected) Winner – Harris English (0 selected) Notes – Second year player Harris English picks up his first PGA tour victory at the St. Jude, beating out Phil Mickelson and Scott Stallings by 2 strokes. Winner – Justin Rose (5 selected) Notes – Justin Rose takes home the victory in the season’s second major championship to win his first major. Jason Day made another impressive showing with a T2 along with Phil, who lead after the first round but carded a 4 over final round to lose by 2 strokes to Rose. Travelers Championship Most Popular Pick – Bubba Watson (13% selected) Winner – Ken Duke (0 selected) Notes – Another first time tour winner, Ken Duke, takes home the victory at the Traveler’s Championship. Watson, the most popular pick, finished with a solo 4th. AT&T National Winner – Bill Haas (0 selected) Notes – Surprisingly, no one took Bill Haas for the event, but he has now won at least one PGA Tour event over the last 4 years. Haas shot a final round of 66 to secure the victory. The Greenbrier Classic Most Popular Pick – Graham DeLaet (15% selected) Winner – Jonas Blixt (0 selected) Notes – Jonas Blixt picks up the victory at the Greenbrier in a tournament that did not have much fantasy player appeal. Haas followed up his victory inside the top 10. John Deere Classic Winner – Jordan Spieth (14 selected) Notes – Fantasy players could see this coming with Jordan Spieth. After posting 4 top 10s already on the season, 14 fantasy players cashed in on Spieth’s first PGA Tour win. The teenager is the youngest PGA tour winner at 19 years old. Zach Johnson finished second. Most Popular Pick – Ernie Els (11% selected) Winner – Phil Mickelson (13 selected) Notes – Phil Mickelson made the most of this trip across the pond. After finishing first at the Scottish Open, he seemed primed to take home the Open Championship and did just that. Rewarding 13 fantasy players with a big pay day. Phil shot an impressive 5 under 66 to charge up the leaderboard and take the victory. Stenson, Poulter, Scott, and Westwood all finished within 4 shots. Most Popular Pick – Brendon de Jonge (10% selected) Winner – Woody Austin (0 selected) Notes – Woody Austin takes home the victory in the event. RBC Canadian Open Most Popular Pick – Graham DeLaet (8% selected) Winner – Brandt Snedeker (9 selected) Notes – After the early season injury, Snedeker picks up his second win of the season at the RBC by 3 strokes. It was great to see Snedeker get back to form in the event. World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational Most Popular Pick – Dustin Johnson (8% selected) Notes – Tiger keeps on rolling to pick up another tour win at a WGC by an amazing 7 strokes. Tiger took hold of the event with a 61 in Round 2 and never looked back. Keegan Bradley and Henrick Stenson finished a distant second. Reno-Tahoe Open Most Popular Pick – Chad Campbell (5% selected) Winner – Gary Woodland (2 selected) Notes – Gary Woodland picks up the win in the modified stableford scoring event that takes place the same week as the WGC. Obviously with the WGC event, the field was a little light on fantasy choices. Most Popular Pick – Henrik Stenson (15% selected) Winner – Jason Dufner (13 selected) Notes – Jason Dufner takes home the season’s final major over Jim Furyk. Adam Scott again finishes with a respectable T5 in a major. Jason Day also had a good showing finishing T8. Most Popular Pick – Bill Haas (9% selected) Winner – Patrick Reed (4 selected) Notes – Patrick Reed takes home the final regular season event and secures his place in the Fed Ex cup. Next post will include Rankings and pre-season tournament picks.

One thing I like to do every off-season is put together what I call the perfect lineup. What I mean by the perfect lineup is to put together tournament by tournament which golfer scored the most points for a Fantasy Fairway league. If you are unfamiliar with how Fantasy Fairway scoring works, check out the website – fantasyfairway.com, or you can look at the Intro blog post to get more information, but it’s fairly straightforward. You pick 1 golfer per tournament and you earn what that golfer earns in money as points, simple right! This blog is really meant to provide fantasy golf advice and analysis throughout the offseason and once the fantasy season begins. So, if it’s that simple you may be asking yourself, well Commish wouldn’t that simply be all the tournament winners? I don’t really need to read your blog to tell me that! Well, yes and no, at Fantasy Fairway you can only pick each golfer once, so when Tiger, Phil, and Snedeker each win multiple tournaments you have to figure out which of the tournaments paid the most and go to the second place player. Sometimes that second place finisher has won another tournament thus giving him more money in that tournament (in most cases) than the second place finish, so you have to go to the third place finisher and so on. Now tough guy, it’s not as easy as it sounds now is it! In all honesty it isn’t really hard it just takes some time to work through and you can sometimes come down with tired head when you do it and realize the second place finisher won a tournament and you have to do it all over again and plus why would you do this yourself when you’ve got the Commish and the trusty Fantasy Fairway blog to do that for you. Without further ado, the perfect lineup is below: Money Earned Sony Open in Hawaii $1,008,000 Russell Henley 1 Humana Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation $1,008,000 Brian Gay 1 Farmers Insurance Open $536,800 Josh Teater T2 Waste Management Phoenix Open $421,600 Scott Piercy 3 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am $1,170,000 Brandt Snedeker 1 Northern Trust Open $1,188,000 John Merrick 1 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship $1,500,000 Matt Kuchar 1 The Honda Classic $1,080,000 Michael Thompson 1 Puerto Rico Open presented by seepuertorico.com $630,000 Scott Brown 1 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship $880,000 Steve Stricker 2 Tampa Bay Championship presented by EverBank $990,000 Kevin Streelman 1 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard $297,600 Keegan Bradley T3 Shell Houston Open $1,116,000 D.A. Points 1 Valero Texas Open $1,116,000 Martin Laird 1 Masters Tournament $1,440,000 Adam Scott 1 RBC Heritage $1,044,000 Graeme McDowell 1 Zurich Classic of New Orleans $1,188,000 Billy Horschel 1 Wells Fargo Championship $1,206,000 Derek Ernst 1 THE PLAYERS Championship $1,710,000 Tiger Woods 1 HP Byron Nelson Championship $1,206,000 Sang-Moon Bae 1 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial $1,152,000 Boo Weekley 1 the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance $669,600 Kevin Chappell 2 FedEx St. Jude Classic $1,026,000 Harris English 1 U.S. Open $1,440,000 Justin Rose 1 Travelers Championship $1,098,000 Ken Duke 1 AT&T National $1,170,000 Bill Haas 1 The Greenbrier Classic $1,134,000 Jonas Blixt 1 John Deere Classic $828,000 Jordan Spieth 1 Sanderson Farms Championship $540,000 Woody Austin 1 The Open Championship $1,442,826 Phil Mickelson 1 RBC Canadian Open $369,600 Dustin Johnson T2 Reno-Tahoe Open $540,000 Gary Woodland 1 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational $692,500 Henrik Stenson T2 PGA Championship $1,445,000 Jason Dufner 1 Wyndham Championship $954,000 Patrick Reed 1 For a grand total of $35,237,526, to put that in perspective, our grand prize winner scored just under 10 million (which was an all-time Fantasy Fairway record). Now, it would be very difficult to come even close to that 35 million total, like picture a perfect NCAA basketball bracket and multiply it by say 100 – statistical nerds out there, don’t call me out on that math it was an off the top of my head guess, but it’s pretty darn hard. To try and create a perfect lineup really isn’t the point of the exercise. The real fantasy golf advice here is to recognize the tournament winners going into next year. Yeah, we know Tiger and Phil, but are you going to forget that Boo Weekly or Patrick Reed snuck a win in there? Or that notable names Rory McIlroy, Jim Furyk, and a few others are notably missing? Also, and possibly more importantly, it’s to not fall victim to the 2nd place is the first loser mentality. Guys like Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson, Steve Stricker, and Keegan Bradley may not jump out on the tournament winners page but if you can grab those guys when they pick up a Top 3, you are going to have success. It’s a good reference tool when making your fantasy golf strategy for next year. In a later article we will talk about ranking players, tiering players and tournament, and matching up courses with players, and most of these guys should be on your list, especially for those tournaments that don’t attract a top notch field. Remember to follow the Commish and Fantasy Fairway on Twitter, Google Plus, and Facebook.

We had a record number of players and leagues, all-time high in total points scored, and most importantly the most cash and prizes payouts ever. Below is a recap of the season, broken down by segments: Segment #1 – Team “The Show” came out firing in the first segment and really got his season going strong in the first tournament of the year (Sony Open in Hawaii) with a T3 from Charles Howell III. The big payout was the Phil Mickelson winner in the Waste Management Open which netted the Show over 1 million points (a la Dr. Evil). The show sealed is lead in segment 1 with two strong showings in the WGC events, capturing a 4th place from Ian Poulter in the Match Play event and bringing home the victory in the WGC-Cadillac Championship with Tiger Woods that earned The show 1.5 million points and after other decent showings in the segment made him the Segment #1 champ and the owner of a brand new Nike SQ MachSpeed STR8-FIT driver. Direct quote from “The Show” in winning the segment and the driver – “Thanks again for all of your efforts with our Fantasy Fairway League. This is my third year and I’m having fun each and every week!” The Commish aims to please! Segment #2 – I have been running FantasyFairway.com for 3 years now and have run fantasy golf leagues for nearly 6 and I have never, repeat NEVER seen a run on tournaments like the one I saw in Segment #2 from team “ND”. This guy put on a clinic, literally. This was ND’s first year playing with us and the first year for his league on the site and this guy was NOT messing around. He started off with Adam Scott for the win at the Masters, the first tournament in Segment #2 that netted him nearly 1.5 million points and followed that up with a solo 3rd at the Crowne plaza. After two top 20 finishes, he won the Zurich Classic Tournament in New Orleans with Billy Horcshel (which the Commish saw live) a T2 with Scott Stallings at the St. Jude and a win at the memorial with Matt Kuchar. In the first 8 tournaments of segment #2, ND racked up 3 victories, 3 top 3 finishes, a T12 and T19. ND earned over 5 million points over 8 tournaments, which is crazy. I tell this story all the time, but to put that into perspective a few years back, yours truly, won my friends and family league (no funny business I promise). Over the entire 32 tournament season, I won with just over 5 million points and this guy nearly topped that in 8 tournaments. Additionally, over half of ND’s total points of 9.7 million (spoiler alert – he won the site grand prize of $2,000 dollars) were earned in these 8 tournaments or 1 segment. Segment #3 – The third segment started out sluggish for team “4 Iron Punch”, but it heated up in the middle. After a modest start over the first 4 tournaments of the year, he cashed a top 10 from Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic and that ignited a hot streak. He scored a win with Phil at the Open Championship for nearly 1.5 million combined with a T9 for Chris Kirk in the same week. The following week he picked up a win with Snedeker at the Canadian Open (1 million) and another win the very next week with Tiger at the WGC – Bridgestone (1.5 million). Not only did the 3 wins in a row (wow, I guess I didn’t realize until now that it was 3 in a row – impressive) win the segment and driver, but it put 4 iron punch in contention for the grand championship and $2000 cash prize. Overall – If you read the segment reviews page, no surprise here but ND took home the grand prize and the $2,000 cash that goes along with it. 4 Iron punch gave it a solid effort, but in the end ND’s dominance in segment #2 proved to be too much and 4 Iron finished about 750k away from the 9,796,730 points ND put up over the season but did earn enough to take home $500 cash. Team Red Rockets, Par 6, and Range Balls & Borrowed clubs rounded out the top 5 and each took home a Nike Dri-Fit polo and $250, $100, and $50 respectively. Among other prizes and cash payouts, the grand prize winners totaled almost $3,000 in real cash. Congratulations to all of the top 10 finishers below: FantasyFairway.com Top 10. As for your old pal the Commish, full disclosure I finished a measly 54th in the friends and family league and, are you ready for this, 167th overall and a solid 5 million points behind ND. It definitely was not my year, but I am already prepping for next year! What a great year it was and I hope we are able to continue to grow and add people to the site, which will allow us at FantasyFairway.com to offer more cash, more prizes, and hopefully more options in the future. Next up – The perfect lineup analysis Follow fantasyfairway.com on Facebook, twitter, and google +. Until next time see you on the fantasy links.

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Ryan Banquer Yes, it’s the official start to the PGA tour season with the new “Fall Series” format to the PGA Schedule with the Frys.com Open starting on 10/10. From a PGA perspective, I think it is a great idea. While I think the fields will definitely be thin with “elite” level talent and probably more importantly names, it gives the younger guns a chance at some exposure and more importantly gaining tour status. From a Fantasy Golf point of view however, I am not so sure. At fantasyfairway.com, our fantasy golf leagues have always begun with the Sony Open in Hawaii. We actually even skip over the Tournament of Champions (which is a great event) because it has a limited field. We like to use that as a basis for advice and get a bit of a preview on the fantasy golf season, but we don’t include it in our fantasy golf game. With these tournaments beginning in October now, it’s worth a discussion as to whether to include them in the season or make it an optional season or just leave it alone. Let’s look at the pros/cons below. Fantasy Golf Season Length Let’s be honest, the fantasy golf season is pretty long. If you think about it in terms of fantasy football (by far the most popular fantasy sport) it’s nearly twice as long schedule wise. The NFL plays 17 regular weeks of football. The PGA tour (at least the non-Fall series) of fantasy golf runs 33 tournaments across 30 weeks or so. Even people that love the game and love playing fantasy golf sometimes hit peaks and valleys of engagement over such a long season. I don’t think adding another 7-8 weeks of tournaments will help that situation there any, even though I am sure there are the hardcore golf enthusiasts and fantasy players out there that would disagree. Fantasy Golf Season Schedule Also, at fantasyfairway.com (and probably most fantasy golf leagues out there) we stop our play with the last regular season tournament (i.e. no Fed Ex cup playoff events). The last few seasons that has been the Wyndham Championship. We’ve toyed around with the idea of ending play a week earlier with the PGA Tour Championship, it just feels right to end on the high of a major and that’s something we will continue to explore for the season length issue noted above, but also it just seems like a letdown tournament to me. You get so much coverage on a major, the payout is great and then you have the Wyndham to worry about. No disrespect intended for the folks at the Wyndham and it’s a great tournament, but again from a fantasy perspective, it just doesn’t feel quite right to include it. Which leads me to these tournaments for the PGA season. So we end the season with the Wyndham Championship, then we have 4 weeks of Fed Ex cup (which aren’t currently included in most fantasy golf games) and then we have Presidents Cup in odd years and Ryder cup in even years, then we dive right back into a season. So, if you did not include the Fed Ex tournaments you’d have only a 5 week off-season. I don’t think even the most hard core fantasy fans are ready for basically a non-stop full year commitment, although I think some football fans would disagree. Field Commitments Finally, as mentioned earlier I think it’s great that the younger guys get a chance to be tour eligible, but I can’t image any big names committing to these tournaments with relatively modest purses. You’d be lucky to get Tiger, Phil, or some of the European stars to commit to less than the highest end purses during the regular season, let alone the time they have been accustomed to calling their “time-off”, time with family, etc. Looking at the field for this week, there are some notables there (full field at PGAtour.com – http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/frys-com-open/field.html. Allenby, Angel Cabrera, Stewart Cink, Tim Clark, Goosen, Glover, Ogilvy, Vijay Singh are among other notables in the field. None of these are particularly surprising, they all have made names for themselves on the tour, but have struggled recently and are trying to improve their game or in some cases retain their status. As far as fantasy picks, I’m sure you could do fine with these guys, the field actually looks better than I initially expected, but no major star power and no clear favorite which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for golf in general or fantasy. Overall, I think it’s something worth discussing but in looking at it, I don’t think at this point the fantasy golf world is ready to include these tournaments for play. It isn’t really enough tournaments to have a mini-game that would draw enough interest and lacks the big names to draw a huge fantasy crowd. I think it’s great for the PGA tour and giving younger player as well as veterans a chance to work on their game, get some exposure, and earn or maintain their PGA status however and at least for fantasy fairway, we’ll continue to monitor the popularity of the interest for inclusion at a later date. I would think this would work on a weekly league situation, but I would be a little surprised if there were enough fantasy golf players to really fill those leagues out as well. What do you think about the new schedule in general or in regards to fantasy? Make a comment on the blog or email me directly at commish@fantasyfairway.com. Follow me on twitter @FantasyFairway.com, Facebook, and google +. Until next time – The Commish Welcome to the new FantasyFairway.com fantasy golf blog! Hello fantasy golf world, I am “The Commish” and welcome to the new Fantasy Fairway blog where we will be discussing Fantasy Golf, the PGA Tour, general golf talk, and I am sure we’ll go off topic every once in a while as well. A little bit of background on me, I created and run what I believe is the best fantasy golf site on the internet, www.fantasyfairway.com (which is where “The Commish” moniker comes from). What makes FantasyFairway.com great is that it provides users with a very simple but strategic approach to playing fantasy golf, while allowing users to create their own leagues or join a private league. The concept on FantasyFairway.com is simple, you pick 1 golfer a week and you earn point for whatever that player earns in the tournament. If you miss the cut, you get 0, if your player wins the tournament you get points equal to the first place money, second place gets points for second place money, and so on. You can only pick each golfer once, so the strategy comes in that you must make choices based on player’s ability at a specific course or time of course, the tournament payout, and other factors to maximize your points over the course of the season. If you already have an established league, it’s easy to convert over to FantasyFairway or you can join public leagues or create your own league. All leagues are eligible for cash and prizes, this year we paid out over $6,000 in cash and players earned Nike Drivers for segment prizes, Nike polo shirts, T-shirts, prize packs, balls and all kinds of other goodies. Ok, enough of the shameless plug on the blog intro, but I do hope you’ll check out the site. In all seriousness, I have played fantasy sports as long as I can remember and I absolutely loved fantasy golf so much that I wanted to create a league that my friends and I would want to play. I have played others and found that the selection process was too difficult or the scoring system was weird so I just started a league offline using a spreadsheet and that’s how FantasyFairway.com was born. We get comments all the time that people love playing fantasy golf with us because the site is easy to use, it’s fully automated with email reminders etc., and it’s really simple to pick, follow your player, and know what the results are – even people that have never really followed the PGA tour, or even played fantasy before. The fantasy golf season starts up again in January, so over the next few months in the off season, I will be posting articles about looking back on the 2013 golf season, with articles like most valuable players, least valuable players, and then looking forward to the 2014 season with rankings, tiers and potential tournament matchups. Once the season starts I will post a tournament preview with some course info, a look at the field, and the Commish’s picks and a tournament recap early the following week. During the season, I also post tournament updates and field WDs, etc. so look for me on twitter as well. I am glad that you have stumbles across my little blog here and hope that you find some of the information useful, even if you choose to play fantasy golf offline or on another site. Of course, my preference would be to give FantasyFairway.com a shot, but really I just want to get the fantasy golf message out there and encourage more people to play the game and really get invested in the PGA tour. Feel free to email me at commish@fantasyfairway.com and visit our facebook and google plus page (likes and +1s are always encouraged) and you can also follow The Commish on twitter @FantasyFairway.

You are here / South Africa Travel News / Activities / 10 Reasons Rhodes Should Be On Your Bucket List Of Towns To Visit In South Africa Now reading: 10 Reasons Rhodes Should Be On Your Bucket List Of Towns To Visit In South Africa 10 Reasons Rhodes Should Be On Your Bucket List Of Towns To Visit In South Africa Rhodes is a fairytale type village perched in amongst the mountains where time seems, literally, to stand still. Fringed by mountains, fresh air and the calls of swallows and red-chested cuckoos, the unique Victorian-style tin roofed homes, hotel and shops remain as a delightful holiday retreat for those who can be bothered to get there. Because, if you haven’t already visited Rhodes then no-one has explained that you don’t simply ‘drop in’ to the 1821 metres above sea level village in the highlands of the Drakensberg. Half the adventure involves getting there. If you are a 4×4 enthusiast then a visit to Rhodes is even more intrepid than it sounds because there are eight mountain passes in the area. (Note: not all eight passes lead to Rhodes, but you can reach most of them from Rhodes, give or take a few detours. The recommended passage to Rhodes is via the gravel R396 from Barkly East). Admittedly not all eight passes are equal. Only one of them is tarred (Barkly Pass), whilst others, like Bastervoetpad, make challenging driving and a third, Naude’s Nek, is the highest navigable (for a standard sedan) dirt mountain pass in the country, reaching a summit of 2920 metres above sea level and incorporating some of the most incredible scenery in South Africa. Calling Rhodes ‘historical’ is also not a euphemism for ‘old and derelict’. The entire village is a national monument to preserve its unique almost lost in time character. Rhodes has been up in these mountains since 1891. The community originated as a result of farming in the area, and the founding of an NG church built by the reverend already servicing Lady Grey (at the base of the mountains) who travelled from farm to farm on horseback to minister to his far-flung flock. By 1895 Rhodes was flourishing, with enough children to boast the biggest school in the Barkly East district. Farming later declined and during the late 1960s hippies moved briefly into Rhodes in search of alternative lifestyles (it is not difficult to imagine that these tree-lined streets and quaint cottages easily adapted themselves). Thirty years later, as the hippies moved on and the town began gearing itself to tourists, Rhodes was proclaimed a national monument and conservation area to try and conserve the town. Today, whilst a few stalwarts live permanently in Rhodes, most of the homes serve as holiday retreats or guest houses. The surrounding terrain is rugged and popular with outdoor adventurers – flyfishing, birding, hiking, skiing in winter, and MTB riders, in particular. The town easily serves as a base at any time of the year, its beauty and timelessness an easy retreat from the world. Here are 10 reasons why you should visit Rhodes: 1. THE BEAUTY Rhodes is incredibly quaint. What’s more during summer, because of its altitude, it does not get too hot (even during a drought the area remains relatively green), and during winter you might even get snow. Certainly it serves as a great base from which to visit Tiffendell for a snow encounter and skiing on the slopes. 2. THE ARCHITECTURE Rhodes’ architecture is Victorian era meets compromise; both charming and unique. Whilst the general tin-roofed Victorian architecture dominates, people had to use the materials available to them. As a result town’s homes vary from grand traders’ residences, to flat-roofed ‘kerk-huisies’ dotted in amongst the tree-lined streets. 3. 4X4 TRAILS Rhodes lies at the heart of what is called the ‘8 passes challenge’, a challenge for the 4×4 community to drive any, or all, eight of the passes that link Rhodes to other villages in the Eastern Cape. These include: Naude’s Nek, Carolisleshoek Pass, Volunteershoek Pass, Lundean’s Nek, Joubert’s Pass, Otto Du Plessis Pass, Barkly Pass and Bastervoetpad Pass. With the exception of Bastervoetpad (which is a serious test of anyone’s 4×4 mettle) one can do most of these in a 2×4 vehicle with high clearance. 4. THE TREES (Rhodes Tree Project) Rhodes is ‘above the tree line’, which means that it lies high enough that no large indigenous tree can survive up in the village. Yet Rhodes is filled with beautiful, big old trees brought here as the original settlers planted exotics. Still standing are Normandy poplars, oaks, pines, cypresses, cedars, willows, pears and more. But many of these trees are reaching the end of their lives, others have died due to disease. Rhodes Tree Project, started in 2008, plants new trees in the village; a new generation of trees, not only to beautify the town but also as a way for people to offset their carbon emissions. Stop at Tourist Information to find out more. 5. STOEPSITFEES Rhodes’ annual Stoepsitfees, for three days in February, is well worth attending. The essence of the festival is to get to know local residents by arriving to sit on their stoeps. It’s not as awkward as it might sound. For despite no formal programme and the intimidation of simply arriving on someone’s stoep to find yourself without anything to do and say, the locals welcome you warmly. You’ll be able to drink anything from tea to tequila, enjoy a snack and engage in age-old stoep like traditions like knitting (the squares, which are then made in to blankets, are then sold for auction at the Wild Trout Flyfishing Festival every March). It’s so popular that it’s grown from a two-day to a four-day event. 6. HOLKRANS AT CAVES FARM In the area around Rhodes and Barkly East are a series of historic holkranse – highly erodible sandstone caves used historically by the people inhabited the area – from San to today’s commercial farmers. You can visit one of these on the Caves Farm, where the holkrans has been in use for 120 years by the Steyn family. Originally used for milking cows morning and evening, the cave, which is big enough to take about 1 000 sheep, is today used for shearing and as a store room for the owner’s poplar wood furniture. You can view San rock art on the farm as well. 7. TRAIL RUNNING AND MTB TRAILS Just down the road from Rhodes, on Grace-Hill farm, Alpine Swift specialises in trail-running and mountain bike trails. The one-stop shop for high altitude training also includes pilates, gym and physiotherapy. 8. HIKING Hiking around Rhodes is popular and includes the well known Ben Mac Hiking Trail. Most of the trails are on privately owned farms, like Rhodes Rambles on Den Hagen Farm, or you can hike on what is known as ‘The Common’ – the original farm on which Rhodes was established, Tintern Farm, south of the village that includes brickyards, a shooting range and dams. To find out more about hiking in Rhodes, visit the town’s Information Centre (you can’t miss it). 9. THE CLAY CAFE Irene Walkers ceramics include beautiful agateware (decorative ware made from partially blended dark and light clays), bowls and plates in a mixture of three local clays, with unique designs. The products reflect the texture and colour of the surrounding rocks, mountains and plants. For pottery or ceramics classes contact Walkerbouts Inn. 10. THE ANNUAL FLYFISHING FESTIVAL Fly fishing around Rhodes is one of the major draw cards to the area. Known as the Epson Wild Trout Festival, it’s been running since 1996 and offers the village’s rivers, streams and dams to fly fishing fanatics who descend on the town for three days and four nights of fishing and fun. There are guides on hand to help with lunch packs, dinners and guidance. barkly east Mountain View Cottages in South Africa, Where You can Catch Your Breath South Africa has some of the most spectacular uncharted mountain ranges that often go unpublicised and remain unknown, even to return visitors.So, it’s almost as easy to find mountain view cottages in South Africa as it is beach cottage stays.It boils ...

Jung H. Choi Associate Professor and Director of MS in Bioinformatics Cherry Emerson 213 Jung's Biology Blog Ph.D., Biology, University of California, San Diego, 1983 Diverse Plant Protein Kinases with Calmodulin-Like Domains Plants respond to many stimuli such as drought, heat, cold, hormones, insects, and pathogens with intracellular calcium fluxes. These calcium signals are then decoded by a diverse family of calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) with calmodulin-like domains. The question, then, is how the CDPKs generate appropriate responses to these different stimuli that all evoke calcium as a second messenger. Our work with CDPKs began with a CDPK isoform and a CDPK-related kinase (CRK) cloned from carrot somatic embryos, and has continued with new CRK isoforms cloned from the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. CDPK431 is a canonical CDPK with 4 EF-hands in its calmodulin- like domain (Suen and Choi, 1991). CRK421 has no consensus EF-hand motifs (Lindzen and Choi, 1995). We are looking at possible modes of regulation of these kinases, by calcium, lipids, membrane localization, and interactions with other proteins. Long-term, we are also interested in characterizing specific substrates for these kinases.
