Assume an upright and vertical setup position with feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly flexed. Visualize a basketball player about to shoot a free throw.

Torso Twist
Extend arms outward at stomach level, holding the Whip in the fingers with palms facing skyward. From this position, a slight tilting of the hips would put you in a traditional golf stance. But, this drill is done in the upright position.

Begin rotating (turning) your upper body back and forth, using the balls of your feet to center your balance and initiate each rotation to the other side. Rotate in a smooth, continuous motion from your right side to the left side, back and forth, allowing your hips to pivot freely while shifting weight from one side to the other in conjunction with your upper body. The objective is to maintain the relationship of upper body, extended arms and hands that was established in the setup. Try and rotate at the same tempo as your golf swing and maintain that pace the entire drill.

Drill Enhancement
Tip #1: To combat the habit of using the upper body to initiate momentum during the Torso Twist, hold lightly in your fingers. Footwork should be the main focus when doing this drill.

Tip #2: Once you feel comfortable with the drill, try it with your eyes closed. This will amplify the sensation of your balance and footwork during the drill. It's best to use this technique only after you can comfortably stay balanced with eyes open.

Assume a proper and athletic set-up position with a slight forward tilt from the hips. Keep back straight, tilt just enough so your chin is above the end of your toes.

With the arms hanging naturally, wrap the fingers of one hand over the product sticker just below the grip; this will make the Orange Whip more manageable for one hand. Grip pressure should be light, similar to the ideal grip pressure for a golf shot...just firm enough to maintain control and the lighter the better.

Hinging Forearm RotationBegin the drill by pushing (swinging) your arm in front of your body. The counterweight will be hindered by your hip, therefore promoting the rotation of the forearm. As the motion develops, allow the torso to twist with the swinging whip. Please watch the video to see a demonstration of this motion.

The wrists should hinge to accommodate the weight of the swinging whip. Allow your "free" hand to swing naturally with your body movement. Find and maintain a repeating, smooth rhythm coordinating your arm movement, weight transfer and torso rotation. Focus on your footwork and the balls of your feet as they initiate and coordinate the transfer of weight and center your balance.

The hinging wrist will develop naturally if you are patient. The goal is to improve the harmony of motion in the sequential movements of the lower body, torso, and the hands and arms. This is commonly referred to as "Kinematic sequence or synchronization of motion" in golf instruction.

Drill Enhancement
Tip #1:
To find the most balanced and effortless way to rotate the forearms and hinge the wrists. Begin with small, pendulum like movements and gradually increase the length of the motion. The weight of the Orange ball, counterbalanced by the weight at the grip end will help keep the shaft on plane.

Tip #2: One way to help visualize this motion is to picture (or mimic) a tennis player's backhand and forehand ground stroke motion.

Assume a proper athletic & balanced setup position. Allow the Orange ball to hover a few inches above the ground.

Begin slowly swinging the whip back and forth in a continuous, pendulum-like motion. Maintain the proper "one-piece" connection throughout and allow for the natural hinging of the wrists as the length of the motion increases.

Full Swing Drill
Allow the gathering momentum to take over and extend the length of the swing. Centrifugal force will carry you through to a fully rotated and balanced swing motion. Practice a smooth, consistent rhythm throughout the drill and always "finish" each swing in balance.

Continue the back & forth, full swing motion without interruption for approximately one minute, or until you feel uncomfortable and/or fatigued. Try not to impart any force or manipulation of the whip during the drill. Allow it to move along the swing arc naturally and focus on your balance.

Too often golfers engage in swing drills in a rush to finish and pay little attention to the dynamics that can help them on the golf course. This simple drill can help you improve in many areas and quickly if you focus on the right things for a few short minutes.

Drill Enhancement
Tip #1: To help reduce the habit of manipulating the golf club during your swing, grip the Whip as lightly as possible and maintain that exact grip pressure for the entire length of the drill. Sounds easy, but it's harder than most anticipate. You can evaluate your grip pressure and it will improve.

Tip #2: Once you feel comfortable with the drill, try it with your eyes closed. This will amplify the effects and benefits of the Whip. It's best to use this technique after you can first maintain good balance during the drill with your eyes open.

Tip #3: It's common that golfers struggle to take their "range swing" with them out on the course. The same is true of their "Whip swing". Here are some ways to use our Full Swing Drill to help find your "Whip swing" on the golf course.

Why It Works
Orange Whip Golf Trainer uses the three fundamental learning devices - visual (see), auditory (hear) and kinesthetic (feel) to create a mental and physical connection to the whip motion you can summon while playing. Focus on the one that suits how you best learn - so if you are a primary visual person then you should "see it."

See It: Create a mental image of your swing arc while using the whip. Closing your eyes during the drill and visualize the path of the whip throughout the swing. You can also swing in front of mirror, or take video footage of yourself swinging the Whip for later review. Now when you can't find your Whip swing on the course, call upon the visual memories you so wisely practiced while engaged in the Full Swing Drill.

Hear It: Listen to sound of the whip as it moves along the swing arc. Here again it can be good to close your eyes and focus only on the sounds and rhythm of the motion. Also, do the drill while listening to music, preferably a song or songs you enjoy. You can later call upon these sounds and auditory memories on the golf course to help you find your Whip swing.

Feel It: While swinging, focus on the physical sensation of the swing arc. Once again, closing our eyes is a fantastic way to focus on just the feel of the whip during the swing motion. Feel your balance, your grip pressure and how your body moves all along the swing path. If you do this for a few minutes each time you work with the whip, you will be amazed how much easier it will be to find and maintain your Whip swing on the golf course.

Benefits of using the Orange Whip Golf Trainer
One of the best and often overlooked features is the ability to use it indoors without compromising its unparalleled performance. It only requires a minimal amount of space and 5-10 minutes of training time per day. No golf swing trainer is more time efficient and effective. You can work with an his training aid year-round and never again have to depend on weather conditions or daylight when you want to improve your golf swing and fitness. It's the ideal tool for those living in challenging winter environments and busy individuals with little time to practice.

The Foundation Drills are the core group of training exercises designed to maximize the effectiveness. These can be performed in a single daily workout. To increase benefits to fitness and flexibility, 2 or more sets per day are recommended. In general, only 5 to 10 min every day is required to notice some results. This minimal time requirement makes it easy for almost anyone to incorporate these drills into their schedule.

With an Orange Whip, anyone can make the most out of the winter months and improve without hitting golf balls. If a golfer trains their swing without using a ball, the mind and body will allow the swing to develop naturally. The Orange Whip can eliminate the 'hit' instinct from your mind and consistency can be developed.

In addition, once a person athletically learns how to swing the product, I encourage the user to try and feel where the Orange ball would release off the end of the shaft. This is a great mental exercise for those who want to improve the accuracy of their golf shots .

CAUTION: When using indoors, make sure there is sufficient space to swing freely in all directions. A garage or spaces with vaulted ceilings are ideal. Be sure to eliminate all obstacles and restrictions prior to swinging. Pay special attention to doors and entrance areas. Do not swing the whip near these areas and take the necessary precautions to avoid contact with unsuspecting persons entering a space near the path of the Whip.

The one factor that makes it difficult for the golfer to accept the idea of the golf swing as a sling is that most slings are made of leather, rubber, or some other pliable material. The sling in golf consists of the arms and the extension of the arms namely the club shaft, but it is difficult for the golfer to accept the stiff metal shaft as a rope or sling. In fact, much is written about the effect of different kinds of shafts, the idea being that the stiffness at the shaft may in some way hold the secret to distance.

The real truth however, is that for the golfer to generate maximum centrifugal force in his golf swing, he must think of the club shaft as something soft and malleable, like a rope. One of the best ways to establish the feel of a good golf swing is to swing a small weight, tied to the end of a rope, in the same way that you would swing a golf club.

Instantly you will discover how necessary it is for your muscles to wait for that weight to swing back; and how your shoulders must turn in a way that gives time for that mass to get up to an optimal position for slinging; and how your legs must lead the downswing while your arms wait for the mass to accelerate; and how all of your movements must focus on that point on the ground that you are attempting to swing through; and how beautifully your head stays steady. You don't have to actually rig up this kind of apparatus to experience these feelings. You own an imagination -- use it. Simply imagine that the club shaft is a rope, and the clubhead is a weight hanging at the end of it. You are now going to sling that weight in such a way that it travels at maximum velocity at a select angle of decline along a path that leads momentarily straight to a distant target, with a part of that weight facing that target.

If you could possibly translate that imagery into movement, I guarantee that your golf game will improve immediately beyond your wildest dreams. It's not something that will happen overnight, but once it is grooved it will never go away again. Until you have reached that state however, you will not play the game up to your full potential. Until you totally familiarize yourself with feelings you will always be preoccupied with the uncertainty swing that can go haywire under the least kind of stress.

Background and Theory
Like so many aspiring golfers, my goal in life was to play on the PGA Tour. When it became clear that wasn't going to happen, I shifted my attention to the golf business and teaching. I dedicated myself to instruction and worked my way through the PGA of America program earning the status of Class "A" Professional. The years I spent teaching allowed me to observe first-hand the common problems that most amateurs experience with their golf swing. I noticed that the beginners as well as the accomplished players were being held back by the same basic problems.

Bobby Jones A close friend qualified for the PGA Tour and asked me to caddy for him. After years of teaching, I saw this as an opportunity to expand my knowledge and teaching ability by observing the best players in the world close-up, and accepted his invitation. While caddying on the PGA Tour, I paid close attention to every detail of how they all practiced and played. It was these observations that crystallized my understanding of the golf swing and what was needed to teach the athletic motion of a rhythmic, balanced swing.

I continued to teach during the off-season, incorporating the key elements of the top Tour Professionals golf swings into my teaching. I found that my students made the greatest immediate improvement by helping them to swing in rhythm while maintaining balance. My original teaching style was formulated around learning to control the golf club while swinging and attempting to hit a ball. Most amateurs, and many pros, are very concerned with positions of the golf club during the swing. They get lost in trying to achieve various positions they are convinced are necessary as they attempt to hit at the ball rather than swing through the ball. I took the focus away from "position" and their "hitting" action, put it squarely on their motion, and by doing so their results (and positions) greatly improved.

It was this shift in philosophy that led me to develop a tool that could help the player feel and learn the golf swing motion. I wanted a device that would provide golfers with dynamic feedback, helping them to feel their body swinging in a tour pro motion. After years of research, experimentation and collaboration I was confident I had the perfect tool. The Orange Whip Trainer is the swing aid and golf fitness product for a new generation. I believe it to be the best swing aid ever created and am confident that anyone that uses my product on a regular basis will agree.

Sanofi-aventis: Multaq(R) Receives Positive Recommendation by NICE in New Appraisal Consultation Document

    Paris, March 30, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire) - Sanofi-aventis  announced today that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in England and Wales, has just published a new appraisal consultation document (ACD)[1] for Multaq(R) (dronedarone) indicating its intention to recommend Multaq(R) use for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

    The NICE appraisal committee's preliminary recommendation is to endorse Multaq(R) as a first choice therapeutic option after beta-blockers, which are the initial therapeutic option in the NICE clinical guidelines. Based on this recommendation, Multaq(R) should be prescribed in non-permanent AF patients with at least one of the following cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension requiring drugs of at least two different classes, diabetes mellitus, previous transient ischemic attack, stroke or systemic embolism, left atrial diameter of 50mm of greater, LVEF less than 40% or age 70 years or older and who do not have unstable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure.

    This patient population corresponds to the patients included in the landmark ATHENA study, the largest study ever performed with an anti-arrhythmic drug in atrial fibrillation and the only study to have ever demonstrated a positive impact on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality.

    In ATHENA, Multaq(R) reduced the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization or death by a significant 24% vs. placebo on top of standard of care including beta-blockers (p<0.001) with no difference in the rate of serious adverse events (19.9% vs 21.1% respectively; p = 0.31).

    "Sanofi-aventis is pleased that NICE has acknowledged the benefits of Multaq(R) for non-permanent AF patients who have been awaiting a new therapeutic option that safely treats their symptoms and improves their long-term cardiovascular outcomes," declared Belen Garijo, Senior Vice President, Pharmaceutical Operations Europe, sanofi-aventis. "We appreciate the thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the Multaq(R) clinical and economic dossier that NICE has performed and believe that this preliminary recommendation by NICE provides a valuable benchmark to guide sanofi-aventis' ongoing efforts to have the Multaq(R) value proposition in AF patients recognized within Europe and beyond."

    Multaq(R) will be commercially available in the UK from today, Tuesday, March 30, 2010.

    About Multaq(R)

    Multaq(R), discovered and developed by sanofi-aventis, has been studied in a clinical development program, including seven international, multi-center, randomized clinical trials involving more than 7000 patients with almost 4000 patients receiving Multaq(R). The landmark ATHENA trial was the largest anti-arrhythmic drug trial conducted in patients with AF/AFL, involving 4,628 patients with a follow-up of 30 months. In this trial, Multaq(R), on top of standard cardiovascular therapy, significantly reduced cardiovascular hospitalization or death by 24 percent (p<0.001) when compared to placebo, meeting the study's primary endpoint. This result was entirely attributable to a reduction in cardiovascular hospitalization.

    Multaq(R) has a fixed dose regimen of twice daily 400 mg tablets to be taken with morning and evening meals. Treatment with Multaq(R) does not require a loading dose and can be initiated in an outpatient setting. Most common adverse reactions are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, asthenia (weakness) and skin rash.

    The European Commission granted marketing authorization for Multaq(R) in November 2009. Multaq(R) is indicated in the EU in adult clinically stable patients with a history of, or current non-permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) to prevent recurrence of AF or to lower ventricular rate. [2] The use of Multaq(R) in unstable patients with NYHA class III and IV  heart failure is contraindicated. Because of limited experience in stable  patients with recent (1 to 3 months) NYHA class III heart failure or with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) <35%, the use of Multaq(R) is not recommended in these patients.

    Multaq(R) is currently available in the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Norway and Finland and is being launched in most European countries in 2010.

    About sanofi-aventis

    Sanofi-aventis, a leading global pharmaceutical company, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions to improve the lives of everyone. Sanofi-aventis is listed in Paris  and in New York .

    About NICE

    The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is the independent organization in the United Kingdom responsible for providing national guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health. NICE produces guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments and procedures within the UK National Health Service (NHS). NICE technology appraisal recommendations are prepared by independent advisory committees called Technology Appraisal Committees, which issue an Appraisal Consultation Document (ACD). The NHS is legally obliged to fund (reimburse) and resource medicines and treatments recommended by NICE's technology appraisals.

@@start.t1@@      About the NICE process for Multaq(R)
      - The stakeholder consultation period for this ACD closes on
         22 April
      - Stakeholder comments submitted to NICE on this ACD will be
         considered at the Appraisal Committee Meeting on 26 May
      - If a Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) is produced
         following the Appraisal Committee Meeting it would be expected in early
      - If the FAD is not appealed, publication of Final Guidance
         would be expected sometime between July and September.@@end@@

    1. This new appraisal document is not the final NICE guidance on Multaq(R). A consultation period is ongoing until April 22nd, 2010. The appraisal committee will meet again to consider the evidence on May 26, 2010. After this meeting the Committee will prepare the final appraisal determination (FAD) for Multaq(R).

The Glammy Winners Are Out!!!

Glamour has announced it's famous 'Glammy Award Winners'. To me, this is basically like the Grammy's of beauty (only not full of teeny-boppers). I wait for it every year, and I almost always check it before I do my seasonal product shopping. To come up with the results, the magazine polled 376,982 women across the US and tallied up the votes.

Here's a link to the list and pictures of the winners.

Here's the list if you're feeling a bit lazy:

New Beauty Product:
Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser and Deep Clean Foaming Pads

Have you tried any of these? I have to say, I really wasn't impressed by the Neutrogena Wave cleanser.
The products that I have tried and agree with are:
John Frieda Frizz-ease - just be careful because too much can weigh your hair down - learnt that the hard way!
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark - a super sexy dark purple, but glossy enough to look more glam-Kate Moss/Nicole Richie than Fall Out Boy.
NARS Blush - you just can't beat their quality!
Bare Escentuals SPF Foundation - blends in beautifully and literally looks invisible when you wear it.
Diorshow mascara - the heaviest, darkest, most luxurious black mascara EVERRR!
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - perfect weight and consistency for day time.
Bath&Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Lotion - the entire range smells DIVINE, but not overpowering.

We don't have the new Pantene range over here, so I will definitely have to look for it when I go overseas and try it out. I also have a few new products to add to my 'must have list'!
Love and kisses,

DIY Project: Anthropologie Inspired Lace Earrings

I have had an incredibly tough week. I've been trying to keep my self busy and take my mind off of things that have happened by working on a couple of diy projects. Here's the first one. I hope you guys like it!

I absolutely fell in LOVE with these lace earrings from

Anthropologie's Laced Snowflake Earrings

I am a huge fan of lace and these looked pretty easy to recreate, so I gave it a shot. Lace is one of my favorite fabrics ever, and I'm even more obsessed with black lace (and pretty much always have some lying around)

Here's how I did it.

I used: black lace fabric, scissors, clear nail polish, chain, silver jewelry rings, my jewelry pliers

 I cut out the shape I wanted and coated both sides with clear nail polish to stiffen it. I made sure to get the edges, too, so it doesn't fray.

 Using the pliers, I opened the rings and poked them through the lace, on each side. Then I attached the chains to the rings and joined them together with the earring hooks.
The finished earrings. Please excuse my naked face and messy hair.

So that was it! They were sooo easy to make and I'm actually really pleased with the way they turned out. Sorry for the crappy picture quality, I used my phone.

  1. they look awesome ill deff try that when ive got a free moment

  2. Thanks! They were soo easy. I'd love to see pictures if you do try them :)

  3. they look awesome ill deff try that when ive got a free moment

  4. Amazing :) This is so creative, i shall make a pair of my own. Black or white? Hmm....

    Thanks for such a great idea!

Thank you for leaving a comment! :)

It's drop dead gorgeous! It needed three coats to be opaque and ate top coat like nobody's business... but who gives a crap? It's to die for!

And on the subject of being to die for... remember to enter The New Black Giveaway!

Bahri Adds 37th VLCC 'AMJAD' to its Multipurpose Fleet of 84 Vessels

SEOUL, South Korea, February 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Stays on course towards becoming the world's largest owner and operator of VLCCs

Bahri, a global leader in logistics and transportation, today announced that 'AMJAD', a 300,000 DWT Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in South Korea, has become the latest addition to its growing fleet of 84 vessels of various types.

Bahri took delivery of the VLCC, its 37th, built to the latest environmental and fuel-efficient technical specifications, in a ceremony held at HHI's Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea. Bahri CEO, Ibrahim Al-Omar, Hyundai Heavy Industries' President and CEO, M. K. Yoon and President and COO, Sam H. Ka, Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to South Korea, H.E. Riyad Almubaraky, Bahri Oil President, Naser Al-Abdulkareem, and other senior officials from both organizations attended the special two-day celebrations.

Ibrahim Al-Omar, Bahri CEO, said, "The addition of AMJAD to our fleet is a milestone achievement as it not only cements our position as a global leader in oil transportation but also marks the beginning of our journey to becoming the world's largest owner and operator of VLCCs. This increase in fleet will provide us with added operational flexibility, facilitate business expansion and help us capitalize on the continued demand for crude oil."

"With a bigger and newer fleet of VLCCs, we can continue to provide our customers with world-class transportation solutions and value-added customer service," added Al-Omar.

Bahri and HHI have shared a close relationship for over a decade, with 25 vessels ordered and delivered to date and nine more VLCCs currently on order. This relationship was further accentuated with the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) signed with Saudi Aramco and Lamprell Energy Ltd. to build a 5-billion-dollar maritime shipyard within the King Salman Global Maritime Industries Complex in Saudi Arabia which will provide engineering, manufacturing and repair services for offshore rigs, commercial vessels and offshore service vessels and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2022.

M. K. Yoon, President and CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries, said, "As the world's largest shipbuilding company, we are proud of our long-term association with Bahri, a maritime industry leader in its own domain. As flagship companies in our own backyards, HHI and Bahri are also playing a key role in further strengthening ties between our two nations. With nearly a third of Bahri's current fleet built by HHI and nine more VLCCs being built, and a multi-billion-dollar maritime shipyard being planned in Saudi Arabia in the coming years, our relationship with Bahri is set for the long haul."

During the delivery ceremony of 'AMJAD', H.E. Riyad Almubarky, Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to The Republic of Korea, highlighted the close, historic and distinctive diplomatic relationship that brings both the nations together, adding that 2017 is expected to bring more cooperation and rise in trade and investments between both countries.

Bahri Oil, one of Bahri's six business units, will be responsible for the commercial operation of 'AMJAD'. Bahri Oil has several long-term contracts with first-class charterers, with volumes exceeding its owned fleet capacity.

Productive Sweatpants presents: Friday Video

Wow, this week really, really got away from me. I had a bunch of things half written, schemed up, but nothing materialized. It will be better I promise.

One thing I have no excuse to forget is the Friday Video. My brother posted a video on Facebook last night and for some reason I was reminded of this week's video. Although Cake and Digital Underground really don't have that much in common, the idea that you should always be you and enjoy life is what came through in his post.

So here's a message that you should never forget:

Henry Cow - Unrest CD (album) cover

Henry Cow

3.50 | 148 ratings

From, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Prog Reviewer
3 stars This rather transitional album captures Henry Cow in the process of absorbing Lindsay Cooper - formerly of avant-folk band Comus - into the lineup, as well as transforming their sound from the Canterbury-influenced approach displayed on LegEnd to the more avant-garde style they would follow for the rest of their career. Due to a shortage of material going into the studio, much of the album was cobbled together from tape-manipulated improvisations, and as such it doesn't feel quite as polished as earlier or subsequent releases by the group, but there's the undeniable feeling that the group have latched onto something potent and powerful. Some of the darker and more brooding tracks are reminiscent of work which would be undertaken by their future Rock In Opposition allies in Univers Zero. On the whole, though, this is one for the committed Henry Cow fan.

Computerchemist - Icon One CD (album) cover

Progressive Electronic

From, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Bookmark and Share
Honorary Collaborator
4 stars UK composer and musician Dave Pearson, these days residing in Hungary, launched his solo career using the moniker COMPUTERCHEMIST back in 2006. Since then he has released an album a year on average. "Icon One" from 2007 is the second of these full length productions.

The material at hand is one that by and large will see many comparisons made in the direction of Tangerine Dream. The use of electronic rhythm details of a melodic nature in particular is one that in sound, scope and overall atmosphere inspires associations to this legendary German unit, but the surging synth motifs, mournful backdrops and occasional darker toned undercurrents are all of a kind that most likely will sound familiar to long time fans of Tangerine Dream.

The multiple part compositions Icon One and Icon Zero dominates the proceedings, clocking in at just over 15 minutes each, the former most alike the aforementioned associations while the latter incorporate a few additional elements that creates a stronger personal identity to the proceedings, at least to my ears. The clever use of frantic, toned down rhythms in particular an element that elevates the listener experience in the latter case. In general I'll also remark that some of the more tender movements, utilizing the piano as lead motif provider, does give me associations towards Austrian keyboard wizard Gandalf just as much as Tangerine Dream.

The circular nature of the somewhat shorter creation Timethorns is probably the most impressive track as far as my own taste is concerned here. Opening with a careful piano and synth motif that gradually shifts to a more distinct Tangerine Dream sound, the overall intensity growing and subsequently fading nicely before going full circle as the compositions shifts back to the opening theme at the end. Final track The Message, with it's alternating sparse piano driven and layered synth and guitar driven movements, is another one that makes a strong overall impression.

All in all this is an album I feel can safely be recommended to fans of Tangerine Dream and artists exploring similar waters, and in particular those amongst them who tend to enjoy accessible, melodic music of this kind.

New Delhi, Nov 21

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet top BJP leaders over dinner Thursday in a bid to narrow down differences with principal opposition party over contentious issues including FDI in multi-brand retail during the winter session of parliament.

Manmohan Singh has invited BJP Parliamentary Party chief L.K. Advani, Lok Sabha opposition leader Sushma Swaraj and Rajya Sabha opposition leader Arun Jaitley to the dinner.

The Prime Minister returned to the country Tuesday night after a two-day visit to Cambodia for the Asean Summit.

The dinner meeting, rescheduled from last Saturday due to the death of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, will come in the wake of an all-party meet called by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar resulting in a logjam over the opposition's stringency on foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail.

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Left parties want a debate on FDI in retail through a voting provision in parliament, ally-turned-foe Trinamool Congress plans a no confidence motion.

Sushma Swaraj said after the all-party meeting with the speaker Wednesday that the lower house must debate and vote on the issue of foreign equity in multi-brand retail.

BJP sources said that party leaders were likely to reiterate their stance with the prime minister if there was a stalemate on the issue Thursday.

‘Stott’ and Stare
Maddi Stott had an outstanding performance

Madi Stott helps lead two-win weekend

10/18 - The Lady Freemen hosted Bottineau College in their home-opener Wednesday evening, and then travelled to Winnipeg to face their first MCAC competition of the year in the form of the Red River Rebels.

Wednesday’s home-opener featured an exciting back-and-forth match. Bottineau took control of the first game against the Lady Freemen as they jumped out to an early 13-5 lead, and then fought off a 5-point rally from Providence to take the set 25-19. However, the poor performance in the first set seemed to light a fire under the Lady Freemen squad and they started the second set with a 5-0 run that was capped off by an emphatic spike from freshman Madi Stott. Providence then continued their dominance in the set, made few errors, and sophomore Heidi Martens clinched the set, 25-10, with a thunderous spike into central-court.

Bottineau responded by taking a 10-6 lead early in the third set, but the Lady Freemen were able to close the gap before it widened too large this time, and brought themselves to within two at 23-21. Madi Stott then took control of the set, as she served to earn the last four points, including an ace to win the set, and lead Providence to their second set win with a 25-23 score.

The fourth set proved to be a close one once again, with both sides taking a turn holding onto the lead. However, the Lady Freemen were once again the team able to find the finishing touch as freshman Christa Penner clinched the set, 25-23, and the match, 3-1, with an unreturned service.

Providence then faced the Red River College Rebels in Winnipeg on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Freemen rode their strong play from Wednesday into the game, as they controlled play throughout the match, slipping only in the second set.

Providence took the first set 25-19, but then went on to fall victim to a lack of focus in the second, allowing the Rebels to steal the set with a reciprocal 25-19 score. However, just as on Wednesday, the lost set seemed to spark the Lady Freemen rather than demoralize them. Penner (3 aces, 34 assists) put in a strong third set, as she calmed down the offense with a strong set-distribution, while junior Vicky Ryshytylo (8 kills, 1 ace) showed off her striking power in the fourth, and the Lady Freemen took the games with 25-13 and 25-16 scores respectively to earn a 4-set victory.

Providence’s next game will see them host the CMU Blazers in the Providence gym on Wednesday at 6pm.

A Healing Brew for Holiday Stress

Share Article

This release offers a simple way to manage holiday stress by being still, receiving love, embracing life and welcoming the moment. The first letter of each step forms the acronym b.r.e.w.

"In the holiday season's busyness and stress, we often miss tremendous inner spiritual blessings," says Kirk Byron Jones, Ph.D. ,author of Morning B.R.E.W.: A Divine Power Drink for Your Soul (Augsburg Books, 2005). Jones recommends these four steps that form the acronym b.r.e.w, for experiencing a more soulfully satisfying holiday season:

1. Be Still. Stillness allows persons to empty themselves of thoughts and feelings that diminish life, and make room for life-affirming beliefs and emotions.

2. Receive Love. In this time of giving, don't forget to relish the kindness and gratitude offered by others. The more persons receive,

the more they have to give.

3. Embrace Life. Numbness and cynicism are not healthy choices in a world that seems overwhelming at times. Hopeful acceptance is

a better choice. This attitude empowers people to present their best to life's challenges and celebrations.

4. Welcome the Moment. Aspire and set goals, but always in a spirit of contentment. Now is all anyone has for sure. And now's blessings are more than enough when persons take time to notice them more.

Jones refers to the following parable as a reminder to persons that inner peace and well-being are cultivated from within: "There is a story told of the musk deer of North India. In the springtime, the roe is haunted by the odor of musk. He runs wildly over hill and ravine with his nostrils dilating and his little body throbbing with desire, certain that around the next group of trees or bushes he will find musk, the object of his quest. Then at last he falls, exhausted, with his little head resting on his tiny hoofs, only to discover that the odor of musk was in his own hide."

Top 5 best-looking PS4 games so far

on 15 April 2014

Sony’s next-generation powerhouse has been on the market for around five months or so, and in that time has attracted praise for its eye-pleasing aesthetics, superb UI and host of social media integration. Of course, its hardware capabilities - specifically its ability to pump out sumptuous visuals - have been scrutinized heavily, as the weight of expectation from gamers in bringing ‘next-gen’ gaming to the market is ever present. And, while it is typical for a new console to spend a few years finding its feet with developers, PS4 hasn’t been short of eyeball-popping titles right out of the gate; a trend that has continued fairly consistently ever since.

So, graphics aren’t everything, but we all love clocking some eye candy. As such, here’s five of PS4’s best-looking titles so far.

- - - - - -

Guerrilla Games’ FPS went from cult hit to tent pole franchise in the transition between PS2 and PS3, and has consistently remained a visual showpiece for Sony hardware ever since. Unsurprising, then, that Shadow Fall was on hand to flex the PS4’s technical muscles at its launch last November, effectively becoming the poster boy for Sony’s new console in terms of graphics during its early months. And it’s easy to see why. Featuring some stunning environments and some of the best lighting effects we’ve clapped eyes on, Shadow Fall is every bit the visual showstopper you’d expect from a developer of Guerrilla’s pedigree. More than a mere incremental upgrade over the already-great looking Killzone 3, the shooter also features some gorgeous particle effects, making for some stunning battlegrounds as bullets, rubble and blood decorate the scenery during action-packed set pieces. Sure, the gameplay may not have hit the same heights, but Shadow Fall easily steals the show as one of PS4’s greatest looking games to date.

An overlooked gem and sadly currently only available in Europe, Gaijin’s World War II flight sim may be free-to-play, but don’t assume that means it’s a budget effort. War Thunder is a visually-stunning effort from head to toe, so much so that you’ll find yourself scrutinizing every bullet hole and scratch on your war-torn aircraft to marvel at the meticulous attention to detail employed by the Russian studio. Coming off the back of the impressive IL-2 Sturmovick series, War Thunder features stunningly-realized planes and jaw-dropping landscapes, with battle damage that includes everything from bullet-riddled fuselages to wings sporting gaping holes. Historical buffs are in for a treat here too, with every detail each of the iconic planes - from the Spitfire to the Messerschmidt BF-109 - recreated for your viewing pleasure.

inFAMOUS: Second Son

Sucker Punch’s open world, superhero adventure is unequivocally the biggest game to hit PS4 so far this year, and a sumptuous showcase for Sony’s latest block of hardware. Delsin Rowe’s turbo-charged adventure was always a looker, right back from its initial unveiling in New York City last February. And, as pretty as the game looked in all those tasty screenshots we’ve been treated to, seeing it in action is the only way in which you can truly appreciate the beauty and immaculate attention to detail that Sucker Punch has put into this title. From jaw-dropping lighting and particle effects to some of the most impressive character models we've gawked at, inFAMOUS: Second Son oozes technical sophistication from every pore, and its silky-smooth frame rate only seeks to further complement the on-screen action.

The Loghry Line

I have been able to trace my surname, Loghry, back to William Loughry, a probable revolutionary soldier, who resided in Pennsylvania and New York.  According to Stacy Jackson of Hornell, New York (Jackson’s History of Cameron Mills), “William Loughry was a native of Ireland, it is said, born in Ireland in 1743.  The name Loughry was formerly pronounced Lawrey (Logthry).” He resided for some time in eastern Pennsylvania, probably in Northumberland County, also in Luzerne County about ten miles from Wilkes Barre.  The census for 1800 shows one of this name, undoubtedly the above, was a Pennsylvania soldier during the Revolution.  Cemetery records for Browns Crossing Burying Grounds shows William as a Revolutionary War Soldier.

In 1998, another Loghry descendant, Craig A. Davis, contacted the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) inquiring about records for William LOGHRY (LOUGHRY) showing his service.  The DAR responded that their files have been checked and there is no record of service for William, which means that no one has established that ancestor in their index when applying for membership.

Craig A. Davis has done much research on William and in an undated PDF document titled In Search of William, stated that regardless of how the name was originally spelled, or is correctly spelled, LOCHRY appears to have been the prominent spelling in early court records.  Craig also points out that there was another man named William Lockry/Loughry, but he died in 1825 in Pennsylvania.  Craig also believes that our Lockry/Loughry/Loghry ancestors might actually be Scots who were driven out of Scotland and into Ireland.  “Settlers arriving in the Susquehanna River area in the early 1700s, virtually all Scots-Irish immigrants from County Donegal, Ireland, chose northwestern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for settlement and named the area Donegal. As I have pointed out before, the term Scots-Irish is an American term that refers to the Scots who were driven out of Scotland and into Ireland. So, while we tend to think of them as being Irish [came from Ireland], they are in reality, of Scottish heritage.”

As to why we can find nothing on William’s service during the Revolution, Craig states one needs to look at when William and Nancy (his wife) died.  The Congressional Act under which William would have been covered for a military pension wasn’t passed until June 7, 1832.  Widows and children were allowed to receive payments due the pensioner that had not been paid before his death. William and Nancy’s deaths (1837 and 1828 respectively) could be why the DAR doesn’t have any information on his service as no claim was ever filed.

During the same timeframe as my William was in Pennsylvania and New York, there was another line of individuals with same/similar names.  From Notes and Queries: Historical Biographical and Genealogical Relating Chiefly to Interior Pennsylvania, edited by William Henry Egle, M.D., M.A. (Annual Volume 1899), page 62 <>:

Colonel Archibald Lochry.

Next to the sad story of the commander of the expedition to the Sandusky Indian towns, Colonel William Crawford, in 1782, is the brief recital of the mournful tragedy near the mouth of the Miami on the 24th of August, 1781, when the gallant Col. Lochry fell a victim to Indian hate. It is not the purpose of the writer at this time to give an account of the ill-fated expedition which had been sent to the relief of Gen. Clark, who had been directed to capture Vincennes from the British. Archibald Lochry, son of Jeremiah Lochry, was born April 15, 1733, in the North of Ireland. His father emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania prior to the year 1740, locating on the extreme confines of Cumberland county in what was subsequently Lurgan township. Here the father died prior to 1750, and his children were brought up as youthful pioneers. (Page 62.)  Could my William (born about 1743) be another son of Jeremiah and a younger brother to Archibald?

Another interesting source of information is A Brief Genealogy of the Loughry Family of Pennsylvania compiled by Julia A. Jewett (published St. Louis, Missouri 1923) (original from University of Wisconsin

Loughry History.

The early emigrants of this name came to America when Pennsylvania was a wilderness. The father came from Derry County, Ireland, with five sons and settled in the extreme confines of Cumberland County, Pa., in Lack Twp., afterwards Lurgan Township, before 1740, taking up land under Maryland Grant. His Descendants identified themselves with the Colonists, brave Patriots who “pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to their Country,” and did not hesitate to give all when needed.

The name is spelled in various ways, as was the case with most of the names of the early pioneers, but it is generally conceded, Lochry is the correct spelling. This would indicate the name is a Scotch or Scotch-Irish origin. What is the meaning of Scotch-Irish? It is only an appellation given by Americans to the descendants of the Scots who settled in the north of Ireland and were chiefly of Saxon blood and their religion was Presbyterian, whereas those who were natives of Ireland were of Celtic blood, and as we all know their religion was Roman Catholic and the races are said to be as distinct today as when the Scots first crossed the border and took up their abode in the beautiful Irish land.

The name “Lochry” signifies Mountain Lake. Lock from the Scotch, meaning lake, and “ery” meaning mountain.  The Wilsons, Loughrys and two other families came with Lord Forbes into Ireland from Scotland during the reign of James the First of England and settled in Loughford County, Ireland. There is a lake there called “Lough Rea” and another called “Lough Ree,” also a town in Galloway County named “Lough Rea” all of which would indicate the Loughry family settled there. (Page 1-2.)  While all of this is interesting and I want to be able to tie into this genealogy, I am not convinced this is our line.

In looking at Genealogy of the Loughry Family, the first generation (page 6), there is Jeremiah Lockery, the father of the family coming to America before 1740, and came with his five sons.  His children were:
1.       Jeremiah Loughry—born in 1731
2.       William
3.       Archibald—born in 1733
4.       Margaret
5.       John—born in 1737 in York Co. Penna.
6.       James
7.       Rebecca
8.       Mary

This book, however, has very little information on the son William, simply stating “William, son of Jeremiah, said to have married Rebecca. Had land in Derry Twp., Westmoreland County, in 1786.” My William married Nancy Purdy, another Irish immigrant. Since the information is so limiting, could Julia have been wrong on the name of William’s wife or was my William is perhaps a nephew of the Jeremiah who came over with his five sons and immigrated with them.

New Grandbaby

I have a new grandson. He came five weeks early on November 10, 2016.

He weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces and is perfect in every way.

He spent a little over three weeks in the NICU unit before coming home and joining his three siblings, who love him very much. Welcome Marek!

Last night his three older cousins got to meet him for the first time.

Cousin Luke LOVED him and just wanted to hold him all night. He later told me and then his mother that he thinks he will be a great dad. I agree Luke.

Marine and Coastal Protected Areas : A Guide for Planners and Managers Third Edition

TitreMarine and Coastal Protected Areas : A Guide for Planners and Managers Third Edition
Type de publicationBook
Année de publication2000
AuteursSalm R-V, Siirila E, Clark J-R
ÉditionIUCN and Natural Resources; IUCN
ÉditeurIUCN, Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK
Mots-clésawareness, beach, benefit, biodiversity, boundary, business, category, coastal zone, concertation, conservation, convention, design, education, enforcement, environment, establishment, evaluation, GIS, guidelines, habitat, history, indicator, island, lagoon, législation, management, management tool, mapping, marine protected area, methodology, monitoring, planning, policy, protected area, protection, recreation, reefs, research, restoration, rôle, selection, size, socioeconomic aspects, stakeholders, surveillance, sustainable development, sustainable tourism, threat, tourism, wetland, zoning

This book is addressed mainly to conservation of the natural resources of tropical coasts and seas. To facilitate its use as a sourcebook, the volume is arranged in three parts.Part I introduces Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as an important approach to managing coastal and marine resources, discussing in its six sections: roles of MPAs, site planning, community involvement, systematic selection of MPAs, strategies and tools for planning and managing MPAs, and the legal basis of MPAs.Part II considers principles and mechanisms for planning and managing protected areas in four different environments: coral reefs, estuaries and lagoons, small islands, and beaches. Emphasis is on technical knowledge about particular habitats and how this knowledge is used to meet management objectives. We recognize that many MPAs are composed of two or more of these environments but the guidance for each can be combined in the MPA plan.Part III presents case histories covering a wide variety of MPA experience around the world to help protected area planners and managers carry out their tasks. The emphasis in each case history is on lessons learned that are of wide application. E-mail addresses of the authors are given to assist the reader in following up on case details. A "Guide to the Cases" is presented to enhance the reader's search for relevant items.In the selection of materials for this book we have given priority to the types of resource conservation problems faced by MPA planners and managers in subtropical and tropical countries where the need for assistance appears to be the greatest.In Parts I and II most of the material is based on written sources for which the specific references are listed alphabetically with date of publication in Part IV, References. Case Histories are individually referenced.

Loving trash films is a strong sign of high intelligence

Science has spoken: put Interstellar back in its case and whack on Sharknado

Enjoying a bad film has been linked to high intelligence, according to a new study.

But – and this is a big but – only if you watch it ironically. Research published in the journal Poetics found that relishing “trash” flicks might mean you’re smarter as your enjoyment of the films comes down to analysing production values, dialogue and plot structure.

“At first glance it seems paradoxical that someone should deliberately watch badly made, embarrassing and sometimes even disturbing films, and take pleasure in them,” writes Keyvan Sarkhosh, postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics.

“To such viewers, trash films appear as an interesting and welcome deviation from the mainstream fare. We are dealing here with an audience with above-average education, which one could describe as ‘cultural omnivores’. Such viewers are interested in a broad spectrum of art and media across the traditional boundaries of high and popular culture.”

So what actually constitutes a so-bad it’s-ruddy-clever trash flick then? The study says the cheaper the film is, the worse it’ll probably be and the more popular it is with those saddling a tad extra intellectual horsepower.

Interesting news that answers that age old question; yes, Einstein would have been a massive fan of Mega Shark v Giant Octopus.
