Orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. Some of these include but are not limited to knee, foot and lower back pain. The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the natural functioning of the foot. Orthotics will often help to realign the bones within the foot and ankle and therefore take pressure of other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips. In addition, orthotics will help with distributing your weight properly and take further pressure off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot.
Orthotics are really for anyone with an issue or discomfort relating to walking or imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain. The great benefit of orthotics is that they can be worn on a daily basis and be utilized during most activities to take further stress of the body.
Orthotics can often be prescribed by your chiropractor and can last well over a year in most cases. This is a great investment into your overall health and well being via a biomechanical standpoint.

Othotics and Golf
Chiropractic and orthotics benefit golfers by improving their posture, stance, and mobility; therefore, enhancing performance on the green! We invite you to explore the possibilities of a better game.
Pronation studies
In 1997, Drs. David Stude and Danielle Brink had peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT), which proved that Foot Levelers' flexible, custom orthotics help experienced golfers improve both their balance and proprioception. In 2000, JMPT published a paper by Drs. Stude and Jeff Gullickson, showing that Foot Levelers' orthotics help improve a golfer's club-head velocity. Now, in another landmark study scheduled to be published by JMPT, Drs. Stude and Gullickson, showing that Foot Levelers' orthotics "influenced the parameters associated with gait and reduced the effect(s) of fatigue associated with nine holes of simulated golf."
The lower extremity and the spine represent a closed kinetic chain in the upright posture. The premise that the function of one region of the body can influence the function of another region has been supported. The foot and ankle, as part of this kinetic chain, have considerable potential for influencing the function of the rest of the kinetic chain.
There is also evidence that shoe selection affects balance performance, suggesting that foot function can influence whole-person activities.
The Current Investigation
Stude and Gullickson evaluated a group of golfers to determine the effects of orthotic intervention on gait patterns and fatigue associated with nine holes of simulated golf. The 12 research participants (11 men and one woman) picked were experienced golfers with a reported handicap of ten or less (some of these golfers were teaching or touring professionals). Nine of the twelve were able to return for subsequent data collection two months later. This sample was chosen to control for the effects of experience and skill as much as possible (experienced golfers tend to have a more consistent swing).
Method.
Gait was assessed before and after treadmill walking, utilizing video freeze-frame analysis. Each participant was videotaped while walking on the treadmill for two minutes, following a two-minute warm-up. Measures included pelvic rotation and stride length.
Fatigue was introduced by having participants complete a nine-hole round of golf, before and after wearing custom made, flexible orthotics for six weeks. This required the subjects to walk the distance typical of nine holes of golf and required them to wait for those ahead of them, typical of real course situations. By measuring the outcomes described earlier, namely, pelvic rotation and stride length, before and after completing a nine-hole round of golf, fatigue was assessed.
Parameters associated with gait (i.e. stride length and pelvic rotation) were measured in all subjects, before and after wearing custom-fit, flexible orthotics for six weeks and before and after completing nine holes of simulated golf.
Subjects wore Foot Levelers' custom made, flexible orthotics daily for six weeks and then gait was reassessed using the same objective measurement parameters. Two specific types of orthotics were provided to research participants, one full-length (for recreational shoes) and one three-quarter-length design (for dress and/or oxford shoes). The men received a pair of full length FirmFlex Plus and a pair of Sir Energy Plus orthotics. The women received a pair of full length FirmFlex Plus and a pair of Ms. Energy Plus orthotics.
Results and Conclusions
Stude's and Gullickson's data indicate that the use of Foot Levelers' custom-fit, flexible orthotics used in this study, for six weeks, by experienced golfers, influenced the parameters associated with gait and reduced the effect(s) of fatigue associated with nine holes of simulated golf.
Drs. Stude and Gullickson concluded that the "use of the custom-fit, flexible orthotics used in this study had a significant influence on the elements of gait measured in this study, specifically, pelvic rotation and stride length. There was an average increase in pelvic range of motion between 29% and 36% and associated changes in stride length in subjects after they had worn orthotics for six weeks. Additionally, the use of these custom [orthotics] reduced the effects of fatigue associated with playing nine holes of golf and so could potentially improve the likelihood for more consistent performance, possibly as a result of a more efficient gait pattern"
Results are in from a recent survey of both professional and recreational golfers who wore Foot Levelers' ParFlex Plus orthotics while golfing. The results show that 96% of the survey respondents would recommend the custom-made orthotics to a fellow golfer. Other data collected show that an overwhelming majority of golfers surveyed (87%) got used to their ParFlex Plus in three days or less, and they were nearly unanimous (92%) in judging the orthotics to be "comfortable" at the end of the trial period. And almost three-fourths of the respondents (71%) felt that they had better balance while wearing ParFlex Plus.
Preliminary Study of Golfers
Foot Levelers' ParaFlex Plus survey was undertaken as a follow-up to a research study published in 1997 by Drs. David E. Stude and Danielle K. Brink. Their study measured the effects of orthotic intervention and nine holes of simulated golf on balance and proprioception in experienced golfers. Stude and Brink selected Foot Levelers' Full Length FirmFlex Plus® orthotics for their subjects' recreational shoes (ParFlex Plus were not available when the Stude/Brink study was undertaken), and Sir Energy Plus or Ms. Energy Plus for dress shoes. The Stude/Brink study came to the following conclusion: "The data trends associated with the use of these specific, custom made, flexible orthotics suggest a positive influence on balance, proprioception and proprioceptive symmetry in a small population of experienced golfers. This influence seem to be most strongly correlated with measured changes in proprioception, compared with general balance ability. However, the the effect of fatigue on proprioception was less consistent. Improvement of proprioceptive function may potentially enhance performance ability and influence injury potential."
ParFlex Plus Survey
In 1998, Foot Levelers' introduced ParFlex Plus, the custom-made orthotic designed specifically for golfers. Full-length ParFlex Plus provides flexible support for lateral weight shifts, increased forefoot stability during follow-through, and it also offers magnetic therapy. Prior to its general release, ParFlex Plus orthotics were given to a group of professional and recreational golfers. This group was asked to wear the orthotics while they were golfing. After five weeks, the golfers were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding the comfort level and perceived effectiveness of the ParFlex Plus on their game. Here is what the survey participants concluded on these two subjects:
When asked, "How long did it take you to get used to wearing your orthotics?" 87% of respondents overall indicated three days or less, and 100% had adjusted to ParFlex Plus by the end of the fifth day. Regarding fatigue, 79% of the wearers stated that their feet felt "less tired" while wearing ParFlex Plus, and a third (33%) reported their feet perspired less with the orthotics in their shoes! And at the end of five weeks, 100% felt they had good support in their shoes, thanks to ParFlex Plus.
Effectiveness.
When asked about balance, 71% felt that their balance was improved while wearing ParFlex Plus. Could ParFlex Plus help them hit the ball farther? An impressive 29% thought they could; and half (50%) felt they were hitting the ball well more consistently. And as to improving their score, 38% overall reported shooting a lower golf score with ParFlex Plus in their shoes.
And so, after wearing ParFlex Plus for five weeks, would the golfers in the survey recommend these orthotics to a fellow golfer? The answer was a unanimous "yes" from the professionals, and a 96% positive response overall.
Individual Comment
Here are just some of the comments that survey participants wrote about ParFlex Plus on their questionnaires:
"I would suggest orthotics to others if they were having problems." - female professional golfer
"Very comfortable. Helped lower back pain." - male recreational golfer
"If playing 36 holes in one day, I believe they [ParFlex Plus] would help fatigue on the last 9 holes." - female professional golfer
"Seemed to help [my chronic back pain] while golfing and walking." - female recreational golfer
RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 553
Two Research Studies of Pronation During Running and Walking
I. NIKE Research
A project conducted at the NIKE Sport Research Laboratory studied the effects of soft and semi-rigid orthotics on rear foot movement in running. Nine well-trained runners who wore orthotics were chosen as subjects. After an examination by one of the podiatrists participating in the study, each subject received individually prescribed soft and semi-rigid orthotics. Both devices for each subject were identically posted.
After a six-week adjustment period, any necessary modifications to the orthotics were made and the testing began. The athletes ran in a specially constructed test shoe: curved-lasted, slip-lasted in the forefoot, and board-lasted in the heel, with a midsole of a typical hardness and a neutral flat outsole. Three conditions were studied; control (no orthotics), soft orthotics, and semi-rigid orthotics.
After a short warn-up, the subjects were presented with each condition in a random order. The subjects ran on a treadmill for two minutes in each condition at seven minutes per mile pace. At the end of the two minute run, high speed film (200fps) was taken of the subjects from behind. In a manner common to the evaluation of rear foot movement, markers on the calf and Achilles tendon represented the axis of the lower leg. Reference markers placed vertically on the rear of the shoe indicated the position of the rear foot within the shoe.
Using these markers to identify the angle between the lower leg and the foot, the film was analyzed and the three conditions compared. (See Table 1.)
Significant differences in maximum pronation were detected between the control and either the soft or the semi-rigid conditions. The maximum velocity of pronation was also significantly reduced in both orthotic conditions as compared to the control. No statistical difference was noted between the soft and semi-rigid orthotic conditions.
It should be noted that low correlations were found between the various clinical measurements of ranges of the foot, ankle and leg motion and the maximum pronation exhibited in the control condition. This indicates that clinical measurements are not good predictors of the actual degree of pronation exhibited as a subject runs. Film analysis of a subject's gait is the preferred method.
The results of the study indicated that both soft and semi-rigid orthotics reduced rear foot movement by roughly one degree or approximately nine percent of the amount found in the control condition. The average reduction of the maximum velocity of pronation was fifteen percent. Thus it appears that orthotics have a greater effect on the velocity of pronation than they do on the amount of pronation.
II. Q-Angle Research
This is a discussion of the quadriceps angle (Q-angle). Figure 1 demonstrates the typical increase in the female vs. male Q-angle due to the wider pelvis. The standard landmarks and procedure of measuring the Q-angle includes:
1. Have the patient stand with feet together.
2. The resultant angle of measurement is an insertion from:
a. ASIS through the center of the patella, and
b. Tibial tubercle center and the center of the patella.
This angle when measuring between 15 and 20 degrees suggests possible patellar instability and irregular patellofemoral biomechanics. Measurements above 20 degrees may result in severe patellar instability. Figure 2 demonstrates the resultant increase of the Q-angle as a result of excessive pronation of the foot. Measurements and examination of all the knee conditions should also include determination of foot pronation. Thus, it can be appreciated the effect the foot has on knee biomechanics.
During running, the Q-angle reaches serious levels of measurement. During walking, figure 3 demonstrates that the pronation phase of gait comprises only 27 percent of the stance phase. Prolonged pronation is a common biomechanical fault seen in a wide variety of athletics. Figure 4 demonstrates the pronation and leg rotation motion during running. The overall effect of a pronated foot on the knee joint will be to increase the Q-angle to abnormal levels. The result will be knee pain due to the altered biomechanics of the foot.
A previous study demonstrated the use of the Mekel 300 Camera filming motion at 300 frames per second. With the aid of this camera and the Polaroid Instant Analysis System, one is able to measure the Q-angle during running. Our current research has analyzed 40 cases of excessive Q-angle. Each of the Q-angle measurements was beyond 20 degrees at the limits of knee rotation and foot pronation. In each case no orthotics were being worn. After casting for Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers and re-filming occurred, the results were tabulated as found in Figure 5. Thus, measurable improvements with the Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers can be proven.
Biomechanical stability of the knees can be controlled and improved with customized Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers. Knee pain and discomfort can be successfully managed.
I had been in a motorcycle accident about 5 years prior (had broken my left leg) and had been diagnosed by the M.D.'s as having an anatomically short leg which had developed into a limp and a few months later hip pain and lower back pain. They told me that I would have to live with the problem and the only solution was medication and maybe bracing.
I went into see Dr. Carlomagno and he re diagnosed me after an exam to detect my true leg length as having an anatomically short leg! He said that he could help my short leg and the condition that had evolved through the use of orthotics. He built up a ½ inch higher orthotic for my left foot of which both orthotics fit comfortably in both shoes. He re measured my leg length which at this point became equal. I noticed immediately that I could stand up straighter and in a week my lower back, hip pain diminished. I am really grateful for the simple correction I needed.

Sections 302
and 120B read with Section 34 of IPC. –Anticipatory Bail – an absconder/proclaimed offender is not entitled for anticipatory bail – high court with out considering these facts granted anticipatory bail – set aside – appeal was allowed =
in Lavesh vs. State (NCT of Delhi), (2012) 8 SCC 730, this
Court, (of which both of us were parties) considered the scope of granting
relief under Section 438 vis-à-vis to a person who was declared as an
absconder or proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code. In
para 12, this Court held as under:
"12. From these materials and information, it is clear that the
present appellant was not available for interrogation and
investigation and was declared as "absconder". Normally, when the
accused is "absconding" and declared as a "proclaimed offender", there
is no question of granting anticipatory bail. We reiterate that when a
person against whom a warrant had been issued and is absconding or
concealing himself in order to avoid execution of warrant and declared
as a proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code he is not
entitled to the relief of anticipatory bail."
It is clear from the above decision that if anyone is declared as an absconder/proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code, he is not entitled to the relief of anticipatory bail.
In the case on hand, a
perusal of the materials i.e., confessional statements of Sanjay Namdev,
Pawan Kumar @ Ravi and Vijay @ Monu Brahambhatt reveals that the
respondents administered poisonous substance to the deceased.
Further, the
statements of witnesses that were recorded and the report of the Department
of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology Government Medical College & Hospital,
Nagpur dated 21.03.2012 have confirmed the existence of poison in milk
rabri.
Further, it is brought to our notice that warrants were issued on
21.11.2012 for the arrest of the respondents herein. Since they were not
available/traceable, a proclamation under Section 82 of the Code was issued
on 29.11.2012. The documents (Annexure-P13) produced by the State clearly
show that the CJM, Chhindwara, M.P. issued a proclamation requiring the
appearance of both the respondents/accused under Section 82 of the Code to
answer the complaint on 29.12.2012. All these materials were neither
adverted to nor considered by the High Court while granting anticipatory
bail and the High Court, without indicating any reason except stating
"facts and circumstances of the case", granted an order of anticipatory
bail to both the accused. It is relevant to point out that both the
accused are facing prosecution for offences punishable under Sections 302
and 120B read with Section 34 of IPC. In such serious offences,
particularly, the respondents/accused being proclaimed offenders, we are
unable to sustain the impugned orders of granting anticipatory bail. The
High Court failed to appreciate that it is a settled position of law that
where the accused has been declared as an absconder and has not cooperated
with the investigation, he should not be granted anticipatory bail.
13) In the light of what is stated above, the impugned orders of the High
Court dated 10.01.2013 and 17.01.2013 in Misc. Criminal Case Nos. 9996 of
2012 and 15283 of 2012 respectively are set aside. Consequently, the
subsequent order of the CJM dated 20.02.2013 in Crime No. 1034 of 2011
releasing the accused on bail after taking them into custody in compliance
with the impugned order of the High Court is also set aside.
14) In view of the same, both the respondents/accused are directed to
surrender before the court concerned within a period of two weeks failing
which the trial Court is directed to take them into custody and send them
to jail.
15) Both the appeals are allowed on the above terms.
1 CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 2049 OF 2013
(Arising out of S.L.P. (Crl.) No. 4102 of 2013)
State of Madhya Pradesh …. Appellant(s)
Pradeep Sharma ….
Respondent(s)
P.Sathasivam, CJI.
1) Leave granted.
2) These appeals are filed against the orders dated 10.01.2013 and
17.01.2013 passed by the High Court of Madhya Pradesh Principal Seat at
Jabalpur in Misc. Criminal Case Nos. 9996 of 2012 and 15283 of 2012
respectively whereby the High Court granted anticipatory bail to the
respondents herein.
3) Brief facts:
a) The case of the prosecution is that Rajesh Singh Thakur (the
deceased), resident of village Gopalpur, Tehsil Chaurai, District
Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh and Pradeep Sharma (respondent herein), resident
of the same village, were having enmity with each other on account of
election to the post of Sarpanch.
b) On 10.09.2011, Pradeep Sharma (respondent herein), in order to get
rid of Rajesh Singh Thakur (the deceased), conspired along with other
accused persons and managed to call him to the Pawar Tea House, Chhindwara
on the pretext of setting up of a tower in a field where they offered him
poisoned milk rabri (sweet dish).
c) After consuming the same, when he left the place to meet his sister,
his condition started getting deteriorated because of vomiting and
diarrhea. Immediately, the father of the deceased took him to the District
Hospital, Chhindwara wherefrom he was referred to the Government Hospital,
Chhindwara.
d) Since there was no improvement in his condition, on 11.09.2011, he
was shifted to the Care Hospital, Nagpur where he took his last breath.
The hospital certified the cause of death to be poisoning. On the very
same day, after sending the information to the Police Station, Sitabardi,
Nagpur, the body was sent for the post mortem.
e) Inder Singh Thakur-father of the deceased submitted a written
complaint to the Police Station Kotwali, Chhindwara on 13.09.2011
suspecting the role of the respondents herein. After investigation, a
First Information Report (in short 'the FIR') being No. 1034/2011 dated
18.10.2011 was registered under Sections 302 read with 34 of the Indian
Penal Code, 1860 (in short 'the IPC').
f) On 01.08.2012, Pradeep Sharma (respondent herein) moved an
application for anticipatory bail by filing Misc. Criminal Case No. 7093 of
2012 before the High Court which got rejected vide order dated 01.08.2012
on the ground that custodial interrogation is necessary in the case.
g) On 26.08.2012, a charge sheet was filed in the court of Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Chhindwara against Sanjay Namdev, Rahul Borkar, Ravi
Paradkar and Vijay @ Monu Brahambhatt whereas the investigation in respect
of Pradeep Sharma, Sudhir Sharma and Gudda @ Naresh Raghuvanshi
(respondents herein), absconding accused, continued since the very date of
the incident.
h) On 21.11.2012, arrest warrants were issued against Pradeep Sharma,
Sudhir Sharma and Gudda @ Naresh Raghuvanshi but the same were returned to
the Court without service. Since the accused persons were not traceable,
on 29.11.2012, a proclamation under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1973 (in short 'the Code') was issued against them for their
appearance to answer the complaint.
i) Instead of appealing the order dated 01.08.2012, Pradeep Sharma
(respondent herein) filed another application for anticipatory bail being
Misc. Criminal Case No. 9996 of 2012 before the High Court. Vide order
dated 10.01.2013, the High Court granted anticipatory bail to Pradeep
Sharma (respondent herein). Similarly, another accused-Gudda @ Naresh
Raghuvanshi was granted anticipatory bail by the High Court vide order
dated 17.01.2013 in Misc. Criminal Case No. 15283 of 2012.
j) Being aggrieved by the orders dated 10.01.2013 and 17.01.2013, State
of Madhya Pradesh has filed the above appeals before this Court.
k) In the meantime, the respondents herein approached the Court of Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Chhindwara for the grant of regular bail. Vide order
dated 20.02.2013, the accused persons were enlarged on bail.
4) Heard Ms. Vibha Datta Makhija, learned senior counsel for the
appellant-State and Mr. Niraj Sharma, learned counsel for the respondents.
5) The only question for consideration in these appeals is whether the
High Court is justified in granting anticipatory bail under Section 438 of
the Code to the respondents/accused when the investigation is pending,
particularly, when both the accused had been absconding all along and not
cooperating with the investigation.
6) Ms. Vibha Datta Makhija, learned senior counsel for the appellant-
State, by drawing our attention to the charge sheet, submitted that the
charges filed against the respondents/accused relate to Sections 302, 120B
and 34 of the IPC which are all serious offences and also of the fact that
both of them being absconders from the very date of the incident, the High
Court is not justified in granting anticipatory bail that too without
proper analysis and discussion.
7) On the other hand, Mr. Niraj Sharma, learned counsel for the
respondents in both the appeals supported the order passed by the High
Court and prayed for dismissal of the appeals filed by the State.
8) We have carefully perused the relevant materials and considered the
rival contentions.
9) In order to answer the above question, it is desirable to refer
Section 438 of the Code which reads as under:-
"438. Direction for grant of bail to person apprehending arrest.—(1)
Where any person has reason to believe that he may be arrested on
accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence, he may apply to
the High Court or the Court of Session for a direction under this
section that in the event of such arrest he shall be released on bail;
and that Court may, after taking into consideration, inter alia, the
following factors, namely—
(i) the nature and gravity of the accusation;
(ii) the antecedents of the applicant including the fact as to
whether he has previously undergone imprisonment on conviction by a
Court in respect of any cognizable offence;
(iii) the possibility of the applicant to flee from justice; and
(iv) where the accusation has been made with the object of injuring
or humiliating the applicant by having him so arrested,
either reject the application forthwith or issue an interim order for
the grant of anticipatory bail:
Provided that, where the High Court or, as the case may be, the Court
of Session, has not passed any interim order under this sub-section or
has rejected the application for grant of anticipatory bail, it shall
be open to an officer in charge of a police station to arrest, without
warrant the applicant on the basis of the accusation apprehended in
such application.
Xxx xxx xxx"
10) The above provision makes it clear that the power exercisable under
Section 438 of the Code is somewhat extraordinary in character and it is to
be exercised only in exceptional cases where it appears that the person may
be falsely implicated or where there are reasonable grounds for holding
that a person accused of an offence is not likely to otherwise misuse his
liberty.
11) In Adri Dharan Das vs. State of W.B., (2005) 4 SCC 303, this Court
considered the scope of Section 438 of the Code as under:-
"16. Section 438 is a procedural provision which is concerned with the
personal liberty of an individual who is entitled to plead innocence,
since he is not on the date of application for exercise of power under
Section 438 of the Code convicted for the offence in respect of which
he seeks bail. The applicant must show that he has "reason to believe"
that he may be arrested in a non-bailable offence. Use of the
expression "reason to believe" shows that the belief that the
applicant may be arrested must be founded on reasonable grounds. Mere
"fear" is not "belief" for which reason it is not enough for the
applicant to show that he has some sort of vague apprehension that
someone is going to make an accusation against him in pursuance of
which he may be arrested. Grounds on which the belief of the applicant
is based that he may be arrested in non-bailable offence must be
capable of being examined. If an application is made to the High Court
or the Court of Session, it is for the court concerned to decide
whether a case has been made out for granting of the relief sought.
The provisions cannot be invoked after arrest of the accused. A
blanket order should not be generally passed. It flows from the very
language of the section which requires the applicant to show that he
has reason to believe that he may be arrested. A belief can be said to
be founded on reasonable grounds only if there is something tangible
to go by on the basis of which it can be said that the applicant's
apprehension that he may be arrested is genuine. Normally a direction
should not issue to the effect that the applicant shall be released on
bail "whenever arrested for whichever offence whatsoever". Such
"blanket order" should not be passed as it would serve as a blanket to
cover or protect any and every kind of allegedly unlawful activity. An
order under Section 438 is a device to secure the individual's
liberty, it is neither a passport to the commission of crimes nor a
shield against any and all kinds of accusations likely or unlikely. On
the facts of the case, considered in the background of the legal
position set out above, this does not prima facie appear to be a case
where any order in terms of Section 438 of the Code can be passed."
12) Recently, in Lavesh vs. State (NCT of Delhi), (2012) 8 SCC 730, this
It is clear from the above decision that if anyone is declared as an
absconder/proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code, he is not
entitled to the relief of anticipatory bail. In the case on hand, a
respondents administered poisonous substance to the deceased. Further, the
rabri. Further, it is brought to our notice that warrants were issued on

Audi BMW Breaking Bugatti Cadillac GM Industry News Jaguar Lamborghini Lotus Mazda Nissan Porsche Top Stories
egmCarTech's Top 10 Concept Cars of 2010
December 31, 2010 October 29, 2011 Omar Rana Audi quattro, Audi quattro concept, BMW Concept Gran Coupe, BMW Gran Coupe, Bugatti Galibier, Cadillac XTS, Concepts, Jaguar C-X75, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Lotus City Car, Lotus Elan, Lotus Elise, Lotus Elite, Lotus Esprit, Lotus Eterne, Mazda Shinari, Nissan Ellure, Nissan Ellure Concept, Porsche 918 Spyder
As we say goodbye to 2010, we're looking back at the most important parts of the automotive industry during the year. We've already taken a look at the Top 10 Automotive Industry Moments of 2010 and now we're going to take a look at the Top 10 Concept Cars of 2010.
What allows a concept car to deserve recognition on our Top 10 list? Well, for one they had to be revealed in 2010 – second they have to have major significance to the automaker's future. Whether or not they'll be produced is up to the buzz they generate at auto shows or if the automaker can make a viable business case to put them into production.
Of course, the coolness factor of the concept helps a great deal – and no… the Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept did not make our list.
1. Porsche 918 Spyder:
The Porsche 918 Spyder, revealed at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, is one of the most important concepts in the automaker's history. Whether or not it will be built is still up in the air but the rumormill has been speculating of a production model. So far, we hear that Porsche has plans to build a limited-series production of the 918 Spyder with prices starting over $600,000 a piece; not to mention Porsche plans on revealing "something spectacular at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show next month. Power for the Porsche 918 Spyder Concept comes from a 3.4L mid-mounted V8 making 500-hp. The engine is mated to two electric-motors sitting on the front and rear axle with an additional output of 218-hp. Power is driven to the wheels by Porsche"s 7-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe PDK transmission, allowing the 918 Spyder Concept to go from 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 198 mph. Drivers are allowed to choose from four different driving modes including E-Drive, Hybrid, Sport Hybrid and Race Hybrid. The E-Drive mode lets the 918 Spyder concept run on pure electricity with a range of 16 miles. Click here for more news on the Porsche 918 Spyder.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
At the 2010 Paris Motor Show in October 2010, Lamborghini unveiled the Sesto Elemento Concept. At first the model was believed to be the much-anticipated successor to the Murcielago – however, that was quickly denied by Lamborghini. Instead, Lamborghini says that the Sesto Elemento "shows how the future of the super sports car can look." President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said that the concept shows the company's ability "in carbon-fiber technology that have facilitated such a forward-thinking concept." Weighing in at just 2,202 pounds, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is powered by a V10 engine making 570-hp. That allows it to have a power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per hp and a 0-62 mph time of just 2.5 seconds. It has been rumored recently that Lamborghini will built a limited 10 units for track use only. Click here for more news on the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

Also unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Jaguar C-X75 was another important concept unveiled in 2010. The model made its North American debut at the 2010 LA Auto Show. Will Jaguar produce it? Not yet. According to Jaguar, the C-X75 provides a look into the future of Jaguar's design philosophy and "producing beautiful, fast cars powered by sustainable means." Power for the Jaguar C-X75 comes from four 195-hp electric motors – one for each wheel – producing a total of 780-hp and a peak torque of 1,180 lb ft. On battery power alone, the C-X75 has a range of 68 miles. After power from the lithium-ion batteries runs out, the C-X75 uses two gas micro-turbines that produce a total of 188-hp and extend the range to 560 miles. Mated to a single-speed transmission, the Jaguar C-X75 goes from 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. It was recently reported that Jaguar bosses are in favor of producing the C-X75 but are looking for a business case and resources to develop the car. Click here for more news on the Jaguar C-X75.

Bugatti 16C Galibier
Volkswagen Group owned Bugatti currently produces only one model – the Veyron. While we've seen many special-edition versions of the Veyron, there is only one model that Bugatti can be proud of and heck, they should be – it's an orgy of technical innovations and is the fastest car in the world. But what does Bugatti have in store for the future? Apparently, the supercar maker is working on a sedan and the 16C Galibier Concept hints at what that future four-door model could look like. The Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept is inspired by the Type 57, and is known as the "most exclusive, elegant, and powerful four door automobile in the world." Power comes from an 8.0L 16-cylinder engine that features two-stage supercharging and can pump out more than 800-hp. Reports suggest that the 16C Galibier will go into production in 2013. Click here for more news on the Bugatti 16C Galibier.
7. Cadillac XTS:
The Cadillac XTS kicked off the 2010 year for concept cars at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. At first the model became known as Caddy's answer to the large luxury sedans such as the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and the Lexus LS. Is it going into production? Of course it is – however, sources say that General Motors' CEO Ed Whitacre has authorized the brand to create an even bigger, rear-wheel-drive flagship. Meaning the XTS is not a competitor to the large luxury sedan segment. While the Cadillac XTS will go into production in 2012, the larger, RWD large luxury sedan model will appear sometime in 2014. Power on the Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept comes from a 3.6L V6 direct-injected gasoline engine mated to a plug-in hybrid system. Working together, the system provides a total output of 350-hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Click here for more news on the Cadillac XTS.

9. BMW Concept Gran Coupe:
BMW Concept Gran Coupe
The BMW Concept Gran Coupe made its debut at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show and quickly became known as BMW's answer to the Audi A7 and the Mercedes-Benz CLS. Shortly after its debut, reports came out stating that the Gran Coupe will enter production in 2012 and will be built on the same platform that underpins the 5-Series, 7-Series and the 5-Series Gran Turismo. We would be really surprised if BMW decided not to produce the Gran Coupe so keep your fingers crossed. Click here for more news on the BMW Concept Gran Coupe.
10. Nissan Ellure:
Nissan Ellure
Re-imagine the sedan – that is what Nissan says about its Ellure concept, which made its debut at the 2010 LA Auto Show.

Jerry Babb's Journey from Maine to Snowball Derby Winning Crew Chief
Once a short track racer himself, Babb is now a Snowball Derby winner with Chandler Smith.
by Racing America on Dec 7, 2021
Have suitcase, will travel. That is the motto of Jerry Babb, who left the state of Maine to advance his career in motorsports after having a cup of tea in the driver ranks.
He's worked and tried his hands in lots of places. The journey saw its highest point after a crafty-Maine former driver won the Snowball Derby as crew chief to young Georgia driver Chandler Smith on Sunday.
"I don't think he cares that I talk funny," said Babb. "He does his talking as a driver. I mean, he's from Georgia, but he really doesn't have a thick accent like I do. Either way, it was a great weekend and we gelled together and made the whole deal work."
Years ago, Babb was a driver in Pro Stock and Super Late Model ranks in Maine. It got to the point where the funding was too much.
"I went to the Big Dawg at Wiscasset in 2003 and I realized I didn't have money for tires," said Babb. "It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I told my dad we had to load the car up. We didn't have the money for tires. You realize who your friends are at that point. So many people came over offering to buy tires and help out."
Racing was in his blood, so Babb stayed at it and the phone began to ring, but it was on the crew side of things where he would find his next stint. He worked with Andy Santerre, and in just a few years was the Crew Chief for Mike Stefanik in the Busch North Series. They won two races before the next chapter for Babb, the move south.
"Coming south was a goal," explained Babb. "When you were around the big teams the itch to drive is there, but it doesn't pull on your heart as much. You know the costs involved. You meet a lot of good people and you learn a lot of things."
Babb has bounced around and worked with lots of drivers in the younger scale and he's okay with that. It has not come without challenges, though.
"Sometimes I only had like a year or two to work with some of the drivers I got," added Babb. "I was in some good situations and some not great ones."
One that he described was showing up at the shop in the morning and turning the lights on, only to find nothing in the room but a few jacks. The cars were gone, just like the team.
"It was a house of cards type deal," explained Babb. "The feeling was if we show up and look big, we will be big and it only lasted a few races. I knew going there was a risk, but the reward would have been great."
Fast forward to 2021. Bond Suss gives him a call to work with Chandler Smith for some big late season races.
"I came down and looked at the cars and I was like, wow. this a good situation," added Babb. "I didn't really know Donnie Wilson that well, but I was so impressed with his team, the knowledge and chemistry of the organization. "Chandler and I got to work together at New Smyrna and he led 115 laps and could have won. The oil pump broke."
Babb was with the Wilson team all during Snowball Derby testing and kept overcoming the challenges.
"We had a minor part failure, so we swapped engines after a test and that was good because we would have just been putting more laps on that engine."
Smith took the outside pole and Babb liked the team's chances when Chandler said the car was good. Even early overheating issues could not deter the team.
"When everything is going right, you start to worry, and the first yellow Chandler said the car was running hot," added Babb. "Instead of staying out we came in and cleaned the grill off and went back out. That was the moment that won the race. We learned coming back up through the field that we had a few adjustments more to do and we never would have made them riding in second."
Babb is now the first Maine born crew chief to win the Snowball Derby. Understandably, he considers it the biggest moment of his career.
"It's the biggest win of my career," said Babb. "I don't want to underplay it, but you can't get a chance to have something like this without effort. The Wilson Motorsports team had five cars at the Snowball between the two races. We put the Super Late Models in first, third and fifth. You can't do that without work and effort."
With the Snowball Derby, the season comes to an end, but Babb is optimistic that he'll have more chances with Wilson Motorsports.
"It has been a great opportunity and I hope it continues," added Babb. "My wife's family got sick a few years back so she had to move back so the burden of being in the south was too much for us so I came home as well.
"In racing, you make your luck as much as you can and on Sunday we won the Snowball Derby," said Babb. "I woke up this morning and I had a flat tire on my truck. I'll take that any day."

There is power in the name of Jesus Christ – power to save from sin, heal, and deliver from evil. It is clear from the Scriptures, that everyone that calls on the name of the Lord is saved (Romans 10: 11-13, Proverbs 18: 10, Joel 2: 32, Judges 9: 50-55). The name of Jesus is the only name given among humans whereby we may be saved – from sin, sickness, disease, and eternal destruction (Acts 4: 12).
Divine Guarantee: It's clear from the Scriptures above, that God has given us a divine guarantee – all who call on Him will be saved, and will not be put to shame ( Romans 10: 13, Isaiah 28:16, Joel 2: 32).
Why the name of Jesus is so powerful: Philippians 2: 5-13 tells us clearly that God has exalted the name of Jesus above all other names, so that at His name every knee must bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. He is the sinless Son of God who took away our sins. He is our Divine advocate, our eternal redeemer.
Believe in your heart: Whether as a sinner coming to God for salvation, or as a believer coming to God for deliverance from some evil, the first step to releasing His divine power is to believe in your heart that Jesus is the Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead for our salvation (Romans 10: 9-10, 14; Psalm 91: 14-15). He that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a 'rewarder' of those who seek Him (Hebrews 11: 6). Trust in Jesus Christ as the Savor is the required first step towards salvation.
Call on His Name: Believing firmly in His ability to bring salvation is the first step, but it is also equally important to call out for help in His name. We believe with the heart, and we confess or call out to Him with our mouth (Romans 10: 9-10, Psalm 91: 15, Joel 2: 32, Jeremiah 33: 3, John 14: 13-14). Calling on His name for help and salvation in time of trouble is proof that we truly believe in Him (Peter's example, Acts 14: 28-32). It's time to call on His name, and watch every other name bow to Him.


How should you conduct local SEO?
SEO done with aim of increasing the visibility of a business locally is becoming more important by the day. If the right strategy is implemented then businesses with a fixed location can become much more conspicuous to people online when their search relates to a type of business in a specific area.
Given that Google have stated that at least 20% of all searches relate to a location, you really do ignore local SEO at your peril. This is especially true when you consider that mobile search is expected to leapfrog desktop in the very near future, as between 40% – 50% of mobile searches relate to a location.
In this article we're going to pretend to own a café in South Kensington, where thousands descend every weekend to take a look at the world famous museums. Getting a localised SEO strategy in a situation like this is imperative. For example, before meeting up with a friend in this area recently, I typed in 'café south kensington' into Google. When the results were displayed an array of seemingly respected cafés in that area were visible and after not much thought I ended up going to one of them.
Being present in SERPs like this is valuable.
So it's clear that visibility in search engines in this manner is of particular value to very geographically focused businesses. What's great is that the small independent shop can really beat the big boys with relative ease when it comes to local rankings. This is because the local businesses will have local content and local links. You'll see in the example above that independent shops rank above massive chains. So what sort of strategy would we follow if we owned a café?
If you do one thing recommended in this article, make sure this is it. Tell Google your company name, address, phone number and website. Make sure that the categories listed describe your business adequately and that your opening hours are all filled in properly. Once you've selected which payment options you can accept, add images of your premises, staff and product. You can add 10, so make sure they are fun and distinctive.
Put yourself in the minds of your potential customers at all times. If you were searching for a café, you'd want to see a picture of a pretty little shop in the sun with some tables outside, so put one in here! Supposedly images like these are preferred and more likely to be displayed over a simple company logo. You can also add videos and the same logic applies.
Before this information becomes available to searchers in Google Maps – which are increasingly displayed in normal SERPs – you'll have to verify your listing directly with Google.
This costs nothing and it allows potential customers to see what you share publicly, see your location, leave you reviews and +1 your business. It's important that you maintain this and that you put the effort in and upload pictures and interact with other profiles. From a social perspective this is significant.
Your relative success with Google+ can effect rankings in the SERPs, as people who have you in their circles will be more likely to see you appear nearer the top of them. Once you integrate your Places and Google+ accounts you can then respond to reviews as well, which is another positive.
Hovering over listed results shows people more information.
If you do this then you'll gain credibility in the SERPs and stand out above your competitors. Aim to gently encourage customers to leave you one from their Google+ account if possible. We recommend that after every purchase from your shop that you make it clear to the customer where they can do this. If you have a loyalty card, kindly remind people to review you on the back of it. On the receipt you hand them you should do the same. You could even have a small sign on the counter encouraging the same thing.
Just remember that the reviews are all just a click away for the searcher, so don't hassle people for them if they are clearly not interested – your reviews will probably suffer! Also remember that this will probably be a process that will take a number of months to become effective. Don't try to take shortcuts as it's very likely that you will be found out and that your business will suffer as a result. It should go without saying, but if you want good reviews then be delightful, not deceitful.
Detailed reviews are just a click away.
Hotels – they often recommend things to see and do within walking distance.
Local news websites – they are always keen to hear about a local business expanding, hosting an interesting event or donating money to a local charity.
Area guides – these are invariably present on tourism and property focused websites.
Bloggers – many are very focused on the goings-on in a particular locality.
Council websites – sometimes they list local providers of certain services.
Local suppliers or customers – they often list who they work with.
It's up to you to maximise the value of these. For example, make sure you have consistent citations present across the web. This just means that your business information (company name, address etc.) needs to be identical everywhere it is mentioned. If someone has noted down your details incorrectly then politely ask them to change them.
Regular readers of the blog will know that we often state how important content marketing is to ensure successful search engine marketing. If we were running a café then we'd blog about the goings on in our area; the weather, the museums, the transport, the parks, events we'd hosted or helped with etc. Once posted you should get in the habit of immediately sharing these through your Google+ profile.
Make sure that your address is also present here and that your page titles and meta descriptions mention your business name, niche and location.
So now you know both why local SEO is vital and how you can best go about making the most of the opportunity to get more customers through your door with it.
Passion Digital have a dedicated SEO team that are used to dealing with businesses ranging in size from start-ups to multi-nationals. If you would like to know more about the search engine marketing services that they could offer you, then take a look at their SEO page before getting in contact with Mike.

But whether such a ceasefire could leave Gadhafi in power remains an open question. Neither the U.N. nor Obama have said explicitly that Gadhafi must be removed from power, though Obama had called for Gadhafi to step down previously, saying he'd lost all legitimacy to govern.
On Sunday, U.S. Under Secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy used the same formulation in an interview with the BBC, implying that nothing short of a Gadhafi departure from power was acceptable. "He's lost his legitimacy," she said.
Still, Flournoy was unwilling to state explicitly that Gadhafi had to go for the U.S.-led campaign to end. "It's too early to speculate as to where this ends up," she said.
Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chief of Staff, was similarly reluctant to make any long-term predictions in an interview with ABC News.
Describing the military objective as "limited," he dodged a question about whether the no-fly zone over Libya might remain in place for as long as the U.S. enforced a similar zone over Iraq — 12 years. "Circumstances will drive where this goes," he said.
That troubles some military analysts, who worry that the West's urgent action over the weekend isn't backed by planning for what sort of Libya will be left behind when the aerial campaign stops.
It also troubles leading lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
"Before any further military commitments are made, the administration must do a better job of communicating to the American people and to Congress about our mission in Libya and how it will be achieved." House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Sunday.
"I think we're seeing the opening shot of a fairly long campaign," said retired Royal Navy Rear Adm. Chris Parry, a former top planner for Britain's Defense Ministry. Calling Saturday's aerial strikes against Libya as a "something-must-be-done strategy," Parry said he'd seen no "evidence of a long-term strategy."
The U.N. resolution "only takes us so far," he said. "Some thought has got to be given to what comes next."
Paul Pillar, a professor at Georgetown University in Washington who spent nearly three decades as a senior U.S. intelligence analyst, said on its face, the U.N. resolution offers no formula for ending the West's military obligations. "If the mission is to protect Libyans, this is a mission that inherently has no end," he said, as long as Gadhafi remains in power.
That could certainly happen, Pillar said. "A central fact is the disunity of Libya, which is stitched together from three parts," he said. "It is plausible that (Gadhafi) would hold out in the west even if the eastern part of the country remains" in rebel hands.
The specter of an Iraq-like commitment that lasts years and leaves the West ultimately setting up a post-Gadhafi government hovers over the entire operation. Former British Army commander Gen. Sir Michael Jackson unintentionally made that point during an interview with the BBC Sunday morning.
"The political goal has got to be a stable Iraq," Jackson said in response to a question about how the conflict might end. The interviewer immediately interrupted — "you mean Libya," she said.
"What did I say?" Jackson asked. Told he'd said Iraq, the retired general — who led the British army when the Iraq war began — chuckled. "Forgive me, a Freudian slip."
Jackson, cautioning that he has no inside knowledge on what is being discussed, went on to outline a scenario that included a diplomatic arrangement in which Gadhafi remains in power.
But he also raised the prospect that the U.N.-sanctioned operation could move beyond the current aerial bombardment if airstrikes fail to topple Gadhafi or bring him to some acceptable accommodation with his armed opponents.
Noting that the U.N. resolution that authorized the attacks prohibits a foreign occupation, Jackson said that doesn't mean no ground troops. "'Occupation' is open to interpretation," he said. "Another interpretation you could make is that limited ground operations could take place."
Obama has said no U.S. troops would be used in such an action, but aerial campaigns have had little success in toppling authoritarian leaders. The no-fly zone set up in 1991 over Iraq crippled Saddam Hussein, but it took a U.S. invasion in 2003 to actually push him out.
Robert Gelbard, a former State Department official who was President Bill Clinton's special representative for the Balkans, also raised the prospect that ground troops will be needed if Gadhafi is to be toppled. The no-fly zone, he said, "will be insufficient to change what the Libyan military is trying to do."
To date, the rebels — largely untrained civilians carrying weapons looted from military stores in the east or captured in battle — have been unable to hold territory they took in the days when they optimistically started a march toward Tripoli from their bastions in the east.
Their knowledge of the weapons systems they have is limited: On Saturday, the rebels apparently downed one of their own aircraft over Benghazi. One reporter who has spent weeks in the east recalls a grenade exploding nearby. When she angrily asked the rebels why they'd detonated it, they told her they just wanted to see how it worked.
While Benghazi was back under rebel control Sunday, Gadhafi's forces were besieging Misrata, a city in the west that has been under rebel control for nearly a month, and it was not clear, to outside analysts at least, that the Western aerial campaign could help.
Gadhafi apparently was not using aircraft in the assault and, with his forces inside the city, Western bombing could be risky.
"Gadhafi's forces are inside urban areas and that makes it difficult to conduct operations that don't hurt civilians," Jackson, the former British army chief, noted.
"It didn't seem the air force was responsible for an enormous amount of warfare," Gelbard said. "There was much more artillery and infantry."
There's another worry. Gadhafi vowed Sunday to open up arms depots and provide weapons to a million sympathizers, suggesting the prospect for a long-term civil war. That's a real possibility that Western air strikes could do little to prevent.
While the West often talks as if Gadhafi faces opposition from the whole Libyan population, that overstates the case. Mustafa Geriani, a spokesman for the National Libyan Council, the group that acts as a rebel national government, said Sunday that many of the pro-Gadhafi fighters rebels faced in Benghazi over the weekend are civilian loyalists who'd "popped up when the fighting started."
Geriani also said there'd been no coordination between the rebels and Western forces before Saturday's airstrikes, which began with 20 French aircraft attacking Gadhafi tanks outside Benghazi. Had there been, he said, rebel leaders wouldn't have fled to Tobruk so quickly. Most had returned to Benghazi on Sunday, he said.
As for the future, Geriani said rebel leaders, too, are wondering what comes next, now that the no-fly zone has been imposed.
"Now that Gadhafi cannot use his airplanes, our needs have changed," he said.


My Commute | Ready! Set! Stitch!
I know in my brain it's Tuesday but in my heart it's Monday. It's my start of the week because the sprog goes off to see his friends in creche and I get a chance to sit and think or work on projects.
I love our chats along the way but what I love more is the cycle home. I take the back streets home so it's lovely and quiet. The sound of my wheels humming along the road, the tick tick of my hub and the breeze in my face makes my heart sing.
tart of the week to you all!

Q: Default input number value I'm new to angularJS and I've just created a simple input box where I want a default value.
Here's the input:
<input id="fieldWidth" min="10" type="number"  value="10" ng-model="set.width">

However, the value doesn't show as default.
When I try to set it though the scope in the controller
$scope.set.width = "10";

it says
"Cannot set property 'width' of undefined"

What am I missing?

A: If you haven't already... you should set $scope.set before trying to set it's child:
$scope.set = {width:10};

or
$scope.set = {};
$scope.set.width = 10;

or you can do without the set object if you don't have other values you are associating with it.
$scope.width = 10;

<input id="fieldWidth" min="10" type="number" ng-model="width">

Weston partners battle for the Irlam Trophy
Bickell, Dave
Weston Golf Club winners.
Husband and wives battled for the Irlam Trophy at Weston, an annual foursomes event in its 47th year.
A blustery, but fine day at Weston greeted the competitors for the Irlam Trophy, the husband and wife annual foursomes event, now in its 47th year.
Given by the late George and Eileen Irlam way back in 1969, Sally Irlam has continued to run this popular event for the last 13 years in her husband's memory.
The course was in superb condition and a fine score of 38 points was recorded by Ian and Tessa Pitt, winning it for the second time, the last was in 1992.
They were clear winners by three points, with Nick and Kath Farrant in second place with 35 and Trevor and Joan Jenkinson coming third with 34. Twos were recorded by Tony and Di Walker and Andy and Zena Balcombe.
The competitors all enjoyed an excellent carvery, followed by the prize presentation made by Sally Irlam and president Gary Homer.
A glorious summer morning set the scene for the annual seniors' Ray Hammond Trophy. The weather reflected the scores with the top three teams of this fourball betterball scoring 44 points.
This meant a countback was required which led to Terry Whybrow and Ray Harris taking the trophy, with Roger Magor and Maurice Sweeney the runners-up. John Rowsell and Michael Latham were in third place.
There was a good turnout for the Worlebury Seniors' Championship.
Dave Treleaven was a worthy winner, his gross 76 giving him the Wally Hartree Trophy in a two-shot victory over Pete Gilpin, with reigning champion, Keri Allchurch, third.
Twenty-six handicapper Patrick Balchin returned a nett 64 to win both the Cyril Morgan Cup for the day's best nett and the Les Marsden Trophy for the higher handicappers. Colin Dale was runner-up in both these competitions with a 67. Jim Birt came third on countback in the Les Marsden beating Bob Saddler.
Mike Parfitt's nett 68 saw him winning the Malcolm Simpson Tankard, a competition for the over-70s. Countback was needed to separate the other places, with Bob Webber edging out Alan Woolford and Jim Birt.
The seniors' friendlies continue unabated with matches away to Weston and Tall Pines.
The home game against Weston ended all square and the reverse fixture had the same outcome. Most of the matches were tight affairs apart from one heavy loss and one resounding win by John Hobbs and Barry Warburton. The post match banter and dining were, as always, first class and enjoyed by all concerned.
The visit to Tall Pines was similar in its enjoyment and, as with the Weston outing, most of the matches were very close apart from a heavy loss and a big win for John Langdon and John Rataczak. A close encounter saw Tall Pines record a narrow 3.5 to 2.5 win.
There was large field for the open pairs competition. In contrast to the recent sunny spell, rain fell for most of the day and none of the players escaped a dousing. Despite this, many good scores were recorded.
Low handicappers from West Berkshire, Stuart Harrison and Sam Blyth, were undeterred by the weather and won the competition with an excellent 47 points. Runners-up were Worlebury junior member, Jack Partridge and his guest, Ian Morris, with 45. Pete Wyatt and his guest Marc Bowers were third with 44.
Pete Gilpin and David Mellor came fourth on countback with 43, pipping Jim Skinner and Phil Bowers. Ben Dolbear and Mark Puddy were sixth, one point adrift.
Nearest the pin prizes were won by Paul Hibbard and Kelvin Betts. The visitors were generous in their praise of the event and the condition of the course.
There was a good turnout and birdies galore in the men's monthly medal. Club champion Simon Dempsey had seven birdies in the round of the day, a nett 67 playing off scratch.
However, this was only good enough to take third place in the Division 1. Ryan Jones, playing off five, came first with an excellent nett 65 in a round with five birdies. Ryan went out in four under, but could not quite sustain his effort on the inward nine.
The experienced Alan Hartree was runner-up with a nett 66. Lewys Charles missed out on countback for third place. His fine round of 67 including four birdies saw him finish fourth.
Seventeen handicapper John Jones had the day's top score to win Division 2 with an amazing nett 63. The evergreen Mike Amesbury also played brilliantly to miss out by one stroke. Richard Exon took third place on countback from Craig Buck, both scoring nett 67s.
Steve Ganfield won Division 3 with a nett 65. Andy Judkins was runner-up after countback with a 66, pipping Adrian Axelsen.
Avalon Royals, having already won their league, consolidated their position with a commanding 4-1 victory at home to The Mendip.
Comfortable wins were recorded by the pairings of captain John Melwani/Will Denyer, Mark Puddy/Craig Young, Leigh White/Martyn Chambers. The pairing of Adi Marshman and Paul White had to fight all the way and eventually prevailed two up.
Surprisingly, the pairing of vice-captain James Marshall and Tom Main, who have been virtually unbeatable all season, suffered a crushing defeat.
The Royals, having won league titles in successive seasons, now move up to League 5 and it will be interesting to see how they fare with the bar raised.
By contrast, Graham Hewlett's Division 3 side, with one game remaining, finally lost their fight to avoid relegation when they went down at home to a strong Stockwood Vale team by 3.5 to 1.5.
Alex Chandler won the juniors' Centenary Trophy. His nett 67 pipped Jack Partridge on countback. Five handicapper Jack's fine round included five birdies, but it was all to no avail. Junior captain Ryan Thrupp came third with a 68.
The ladies won an enjoyable Alliance League encounter with Chipping Sodbury 9-5. Solid performances were put in by Emma Bourton, Amanda Cook, Michelle James, Julie Stafford, Lynne Johnson, Lynn Pope and Claire Bayliss.
Jan Keight top scored to win the ladies' Division 2 of the monthly medal with a nett 73. Hazel Cox came second with a 74, beating Angie Bagley on countback.
Janet Fear won Division 1 with a nett 75. Maxine Gardiner came second with a 76 and Amanda Cook, third on 77. Marnie Sweet won Division 3 with a nett 75.
Worlebury hosted the Wyvern Trophy, a SGU competition held with the aim of raising funds for the county's junior section. The SGU expressed their gratitude to the club for hosting the event and were complimentary as to their welcome and the quality of the course.
The winners were the low handicappers team of Jeremy Parrott, Jack Palmer, Martin Stephens (Burnham and Berrow) and Tom Trowbridge (Tiverton) with 91 points.
Second on countback were a team of higher handicappers from Farrington, Phil Thompson, Don Perry, David Millington and Mo Duery.
Third were a team of Worlebury members, Andy Taylor, Paul McAdams, John Horobin and Steve Ledley (Forest Hills) with 88.
It was a good week for Steve Ganfield as he followed up his fine win in the medal with his first hole-in-one. Steve holed out using a pitching wedge on the second. This is Steve's first season playing golf and his success this week should see his handicap continuing to tumble.
Colin Roberts won a countback to take first place in the seniors' August Stableford at Brean.
Three golfers returned scores of 41 points and it went down to the back six holes before Roberts could be declared the winner. Tony Roper was the runner-up and Jim McLauchlan had to settle for the bronze position. George Thomas also topped the 40 points mark, but had to be content with fourth place.
Phil Barry led the way in the pro shop Stableford with a 41 point total. He won by four from Mark Jenkins, who in turn was another point ahead of Roger Phillips.
Mark Parsons claimed his first win since re-joining as a member at Brean when he won the Super Series round with 38 points.
He was victorious on countback from Matt Haskins, who made a late diversion back to Brean when the SGU Category Championships were postponed due to the bad weather. Third place went to Stewart Garrett on 37.
Cricket St Thomas husband and wife duo of Debbie and Martin Bargery won the mixed open following a stunning back nine holes.
They won on countback from home pair of Lyn Bird and Trevor Pitt, mainly thanks to a stunning nett albatross scored by Debbie at the 16th adding five points to their score.
Pitt and Bird took second as they were one point clear of another Brean pairing in the shape of Gail and Steve Mason. Dennis Longden won the men's nearest the pin, while Pauline Hale won the ladies' version.

A strong opinion on 'TUPAC SHAKUR's Lasting Legacy'
ANONYMOUS: ""Was he a bad guy? Probably" It was a certainty!! Tupac was a criminal and a mediocre artist - in my opinion. I knew Tupac Shakur and I'm sure he would agree with me at least on how shitty of a person he was and he certainly couldn't argue the criminal aspects of his life. Still, having had known him doesn't change what he was for me. Tupac was a troubled young man with a forum to impress his views upon others and talk about the world as he saw it. He was not a forgiving person, nor did he ask for any forgiveness. A young man that knew enough about himself that he was able to see how he would die.
The problem is that no one ever comes to see the "beauty" or find the love they have for an artist till the artist is gone - as in the case of Houston, Jackson and Tupac. Before he died, I maintained this opinion about Pac and after he died, I saw no reason to change it.
The other issue I have is that people do not separate the artist from the person. Roman Polanski, brilliant filmmaker, shitty person. In Tupac's case, so-so artist, shitty person and criminal. In my opinion, Tupac failed to excel both as a person or an artist. Trust me, many artist quietly agree with me, but feel that saying so would besmirch his memory. I don't know why more people do not stand behind their opinions. It is what it is, so why not acknowledge it.
These are my opinions, and I do respect the opinions of others, so hopefully I won't get any ignorant hate responses.
By the way, I'm publishing as "anonymous" because I have only two options and the other didn't apply."
On Kristen Stewart being in my top 10 actresses list.
DAVE: " Man, I love this list. Kristen Stewart may be more your most daring inclusion, but I couldn't agree more."
AINHOA APARICIO MONFORTE: "I must say that I am a bit fed up with Stewart. Some of it has to do of course with the Pattinson-vampyre furore as well. I watched Twilight out of curiosity and against my best judgement by illegal means the week it came out. I found Pattinson's acting a disgrace and Stewart's job, mediocre at best (something like an overacted underacting) whereas the supporting cast was pretty good. However, I am ready to believe that she may be competent in other stuff. After all even misguided overacted underacting requires some skills. In addition, if Pattinson has succeeded to achieve something with Cronenberg (I am told. Not been able to check. I live in the coutryside.) I am ready to believe in Stewart's potential."
DAVE ENKOSKY: "Wow, very unconventional list. I'm glad you went with your gut rather than going with the obvious critical consensus favorites."
ANONYMOUS: " I enjoy all the actresses on your list, including Stewart. I don't understand the hate for her, but I am curious about the actresses who hate her, especially as many of the older actresses she's worked with, like Jodie Foster, Mellisa Leo, Catherine Keener, etc. seem to have championed her. "
Responses to my post on the BBC documentary 'Hitler's Children'.
KIRSTEN: "I recently read about these descendants and it was a truly touching story. It does make you wonder about all these horrific things that have been perpetrated by humans. We like to think of them as monsters but at the end of the day we have to realise and acknowledge that they were people just like us, and that's where the true lessons lie – how is it that ordinary people could support and even participate in such horrors? And how do people like Hitler come about? How much hate needs to be built up within one person to turn him/her into such a monster?
My family was touched by WW2 as well, but since we're from Southeast Asia it wasn't about the Germans and more about the Japanese.
When they came to Singapore there was an effort to exterminate as many Chinese as they could. They told the Chinese to report to Changi Beach. Many of my grandfather's uncles, cousins, friends and neighbours went and never came back – it was later discovered that they had been lined up on the beach and shot. My grandfather's family escaped because they were warned by their Malay friends not to go, and because they spoke Malay they were able to disguise themselves and live among the Malays.
I always loved listening to my grandfather's experiences, and the way he has processed them. Sometimes he would speak of the cruelty and you can see the anger – at those times he would always refer to the Japanese occupiers as "those bastards".
But other times he would talk about the officers who taught him Maths, marveling at their skill and the way they held their classes. He would tell me about how he used to play the violin at the soldier's camps in exchange for food for his village. He would play their old Japanese folk songs and they would cry because at the end of the day they were just men who wanted to go home. Although he was angry at them for the horrible things that they did, he was also able to recognise that not all of the Japanese were bad people, they were just people caught up in a horrible time. And I think that has helped him to move on in a way, instead of being caught up in resentment and hate.
I remember once he told me, "I will never forget, but I can forgive.""
BUFFALO CHUCK: "It's interesting to see Japan has taken a polar-opposite approach. Cover-up, deny, lie, avoid, don't teach, don't admit and don't allow anyone with expert knowledge do it either.
Two choices made by two protagonists. I'd always tell the Germans to consider the Japanese option, and hold your heads high because the Germans made the better choice."
HELENA HALME: "I'm fascinated by this subject too, especially as we Finns first sidled with Germans in WW 2 because we were attacked by the Russians who were on the other side. Even so, Germans did some terrible things to Finns, and many older people won't still have any German tourists in their shops etc. in the countryside. When I was younger I had a German boyfriend who talked to me about his guilt - his grandfather had been in the war but not a Nazi. Still, he felt a real responsibility for what his country had done.
Excellent post as always."
On my review of Tom Petty at the Royal Albert Hall.
JASON EVERSON: "I just got back home. 20+ years I've been waiting to see Tom Petty. He was part of my reckless youth and, I'm happy to say, part of my reckless no longer youth. But, his songs, they were there - good times, break-up, cock ups. A lot of them are deeply entwined in my psyche. A lot of feelings came back in that gig tonight. Things I thought I'd forgotten leapt out like it was yesterday. Yeah. I even had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I admit it. Songs pin us to time. Tom Petty's songs enmesh us in it even deeper. I still feel overwhelmed. That was one of THE best performances of any artist and group that I've been to. Why it took 20+ years, I will never know.
Aside from all that, the guy taught me to play guitar, and he doesn't even know it."
HAPPY FROG & I: "First off I'm so glad you managed to get a ticket. When I read your previous post about Tom Petty I felt gutted for you. Your review is so full of the passion you feel for Tom's music and why you wanted to be at the gig that I read it twice. Thanks for brightening up my Thursday evening in rainy Reading."


With the tide only making slowly there was nearly a 40 minute postponement waiting for enough water to allow the 16 Illusions to be launched and for enough water for racing in the harbour. However once the sequence was started, we managed to rattle through the races in the bright sunshine and F2 gusting F5 NWesterly breeze. In the first flight, the two key races were between the RVYC team of Mark & Jo Downer and the CCYC team of Graham & Julia Bailey and between the SVYC team of Raymond Simonds & Alastair Speare-Cole and the ASA team of David Peerless & Tom Barker. Although both were very close, the first scalps went to CCYC and SVYC.
In the second flight, the Downer's started their run of 6 wins by beating ASA and CCYC & SVYC nailed the ISC team of Bill Daniels & George Downer and the RTYC team of Richard Ambler & Andy Christie. Meanwhile the BSC team of Mike Toogood & Hugh Doherty won their only race of the day against the EWCC team of Philip Russell & Olly Laughton-Scott.
The key match in the third flight was the last race between RVYC & SVYC and although close, Mark & Jo took first and second. There were no surprises in either of the fourth or fifth flights with victories going to the stronger teams. In the sixth flight, the ASA team had a great race and managed to come in just ahead of team Bailey (CCYC); however the real surprise was the EWCC team who somehow outwitted the SVYC team on the final run to the line despite best efforts by Raymond who successfully created enough space for Alastair to move from last to first only to then sail the wrong side of the pin and have to unwind himself.
However although possibly the closest race of the day, they (Raymond & Alastair) managed to hold off the Bailey's in the last race of the last flight of the day. It was nip and tuck as they started the final run for the line; indeed it could have gone either way as they approached the line, but with Raymond managing to position himself so in such a way on the starboard gybe that he was able to luff both of the Bailey boats away from the line, it was a first and second for the SVYC team.
With the tide an hour later on Sunday, it was decided that only the top four would go forward for the semi-finals and finals with some fleet racing for anyone else wanting to race. The first semi-final will be the Downer's (RVYC) against the Bailey's (CCYC) and the second will be SVYC against ASA.
Although not quite as sunny as the previous day and as it turned out, not as windy as forecast, Sunday's finals saw some close racing even though the four best of three matches (two semi-finals, the final and the plate final) all finished with straight wins. In the first of the semi-finals, the Downer's found the better boat speed and Mark's experience & boat handling skills and Jo's steadying influence gave them the edge over Graham & Julia Bailey in the relatively light airs. A similar fate faced the ASA team of David Peerless and newcomer Tom Barker who were out sailed by Raymond Simonds & Alastair Speare-Cole, despite Alastair having to do a regain after being OCS at the start of the first race.
With only just over two hours of sailable water before it got dark, the PRO, Jonathan Peel, had announced at the briefing to limit the final to the best of three races (rather than risk running out of light trying to get through the normal best of five races). There were plenty of place changes in the first race which saw Mark managing to claw his way out of last place at one stage to give RVYC a win. In the second race, the Downer's were dominant from the start and despite best efforts never gave Raymond or Alastair enough room to seriously threaten their lead and stop them taking their second win to become this year's champions. It was a similar story in the plate final where the Bailey's were just too consistent for David & Tom and won both races from the front.
Well done to all the finalists but of course in particular to Mark & Jo who take the trophy home this year. Also of course to the runners up, Raymond & Alastair and to Graham & Julia who were third. A big thank you also to the Race Management team and the Umpires – without who, the event would not be able to be run.
Whilst the finals were being run, six of Saturday's entries launched and enjoyed three fleet races. With the breeze conveniently coming down the harbour, they self started and had an excellent windward/leeward course using the BHYC's turning mark in front of the Club as the windward mark. A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

For the past couple of years, our pastor has issued a challenge to read through Proverbs during July. Thirty-one days in the month, thirty-one chapters in the book. It is a very straight-forward, practical book about living out faith – and the consequences that come when we don't.
I can learn wisdom and discipline from God's Word. It is available to all.
Wisdom will help me discern who is an enemy of God and my enemy as well. There are people in this world who delight in doing wrong, who love to pull others into sin. The truth is all those who reject God and practice sin will die in their sins and go to hell.
I can listen to and become confused by those who promote and practice sin that leads to death. Or I can follow people who love the Lord and His ways. I must choose. I live or die by what I choose.
From beginning to end, it is always about choice. Seek God or reject Him. Give in to my sin nature or strive to do right in all situations. Live or die. Believe the lies the world promotes — or seek true wisdom, understanding and knowledge from God Himself through His Word.
I believe God. The world's wisdom changes like the wind, blowing people's hope hither and yon. God's Word is His Bond.


OMG! I am SO very impressed with the National Lost Pet Recovery System 'Lostmdoggie.com'. Yes, our little one was micro chipped (we alerted Avid) and wearing an identification collar which helped. But as soon as we were notified that our little one was lost, we connected with this remarkable website loading up a picture, a very detailed description and a map of the area where our little one was last seen. We were emotionally preparing ourselves to never see our little one again and we prayed. As the website indicates, a) lost dog flyers were immediately generated and sent out (including to our neighbors), b) alerts were dispatched to the shelters, rescues, and hospitals and within 12 hours, our little one was found even though Mother and Grandmother (of our little one) were over 1,500 miles away feeling so helpless. Yes another terrific story and part of the '85% find success rate'. We are so grateful!! We highly recommend this website.
REUNITED!!! Mika got a whole lot of kisses and treats when she got home... then immediately darted for the back door. "Can we do that again, mom?" ?? A huge THANK YOU to LostMyDoggie for helping bring my girl home. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the kindness of complete strangers who spent numerous hours searching, sharing, and supporting me while I almost lost my mind during the 108 hours she was missing. It was comforting to know LostMyDoggie had already alerted the nearby vets & shelters (and provided LOST posters) before I even set foot in their clinic. The flyers were already posted in their windows and front desks for everyone to see, which I'm certain helped bring her home. And a special thanks to the good Samaritan who found her, promptly notified me, and refused to take my money in return, after hearing about her being missing. I have a few new friends now and a whole lot more faith in humanity ???
I wouldn t have found my dog, Blossom, without this. Spend the money, it's worth it. Blossom escaped on December 2nd (she's been returned 9 days later) when I was visiting a friend in another neighborhood. Even though I made my own flyers, put posts on Facebook and Craigslist and the nextdoor app, it was the flyer generated from this site that ultimately led to her being found. One of the shelters it was distributed to had pinned it up and a sweet lady was coming to drop her off at the spca spotted it, called me, and she was soon back home. This is an amazing resource to locate your pet!!
Awesome service! Found my pup within hours of making a post!
I can honestly say, without this service, I'm positive my chihuahua would be lost still, or dead! I can't thank y'all enough.
Once I realize our dog Harley was really missing, I did a web search and found lostmydoggie. Obviously there are many sites out there and many nonfunctional. Well a completed a post that he was lost and in just over24 hrs recd news he was at the shelter. Had it not been Thanksgiving I believe we would have heard sooner. Either way, This is a terrific service which reaches out to all the right places. Great show and god bless, Lostmydoggie.com! Thank you!
Another happy ending! I want to thank "Lost My Doggie" for allowing me to post our precious lost Link to your web site. I received and email from you stating that a fellow dog lover might have information regarding him. This was yesterday around noon. By 3:30 we were on our way to pick him up. A very nice lady had found him wondering the street and had picked him up and taken him home. She then contacted "Lost My Dog" and well as they say the rest is history. We are so thankful for people who have a true love for animals and who know how truly precious our fur babies are to us. We were at a point where we were losing all hope of ever seeing Link again. What a true Christmas miracle. God bless each and everyone of you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
After submitting my profile and making the flyer, over 20 locations received the flyer and my dog was returned within an hour!
Lost My Doggie .com was a real help. The phone calls reach many people. I received calls of support from telling me how effective the call was. I received on call from a gentleman telling the time and location of spotting my dog on the afternoon she was lost. It helped us put together the timeline and direction she was headed.
My dog got out of the yard and I felt so helpless. I posted to several Facebook groups and Craigslist in hopes of finding her. Facebook was no help, but someone saw my post on Craigslist and recommended lostmydoggie.com. I first signed up for the free service, but got desperate and decided to pay for the robo-calls. Within 30 minutes, I had two people contact me saying they'd seen my dog in the area. She was over a mile away and I'd never have thought to look in the neighborhood where she was found. When I see her snuggled up on the couch with me now, I can't help but feel so grateful for the service provided by lostmydoggie.com! I'd never have been reunited with her without this website!
I lost my family dog Lulu after a wind storm blew down my gate. She never runs away but was gone around 3:30am. After driving around and calling local vets/shelters some contacted me about this website. I posted and a few hours later a neighbor contacted me and stated that Lulu was found on her porch. She called the local vet and they had received a fax from the website and gave them my number. Within 12 hours of finding out she was missing I was reunited with Lulu. Thank you so much for your help!!!!!
We are so happy to report that our dog Diamond was found and returned. We are so Thankful for the website LostMyDoggie for getting the word out to all the different areas, for it was through there effortsshe was seen and returned.


Bare arms. Bare legs. I'll miss this about summer but I also welcome back bright coloured and textured tights this winter. This is what I wore to Life Instyle last week. This week it is cold and wet.
How quickly the weather turns when summer ends.

Q: Cannot run script.sh with ENTRYPOINT Docker I have the following script:
echo "** Creating data volume."
docker volume create --name sData

echo "** Build the java image that will be used to compile a Java class."
docker build -t bh/java:1.0 ./Java

echo "** Run the Java container to compile a Java class."
docker run --name "java-compile" -v sData:/usr/src/data bh/java:1.0

Inside the Java folder, I have the following Dockerfile:
FROM openjdk:7 AS build-env

# Copy java file to compile and run
COPY ./Main.java /usr/src/myapp/Main.java

WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp

RUN ls -al

# Copy script.sh to root folder
COPY ./script.sh /usr/src/data/script.sh

RUN chmod 777 /usr/src/data/script.sh

ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "/usr/src/data/script.sh"]

And the script.sh file:
#!bin/sh

# Go to myapp
cd /usr/src/myapp

#echo "Listing all files in directory - myapp"
ls -al

#echo "Compiling the java class"
javac Main.java

# Move the .class file
echo "Moving Main.class to /usr/data/Main.class"
mv /usr/src/myapp/Main.class /usr/src/data/Main.class

cd /usr/src/data

#echo "Listing all files in directory - data"
ls -al

When I run the container as mentioned above, I get the following error:
: not foundta/script.sh: 2: /usr/src/data/script.sh:
's: invalid option -- '
Try 'ls --help' for more information.
: not foundta/script.sh: 4: /usr/src/data/script.sh:

: not foundta/script.sh: 18: /usr/src/data/script.sh:
: not foundta/script.sh: 20: /usr/src/data/script.sh:

A: another issue might be the placement of "WORKDIR" before COPY command.
As current dir was changed to /usr/src/myapp and copy searching for file in ./
If your dockerfile and script is in same folder you can simply call it as "COPY script.sh /usr/src/data"
