Hi Butch Monty. Having just read an interestiing piece on the European Tours site, Stephen Gostkowski Patriots Jersey referring to the outstanding exploits of Lyle, Langer,Woosie, Ollie, Seve, and Nick Faldo who won 11 Brandon Bolden Patriots Jersey Masters Championships and numerous other Majors plus occupying the Number 1 WGR spot Rob Ninkovich Jersey for many weeks/years. Could you give your opinion why European Golf entered a prolonged period of medocracy with only Paul Lawrie and Padraig raising the lacklustre standards. Now we have this wonderfully exciting group of talent led by Kaymer, McDowell,McIlroy,Molinari's,Poulter,Donald, Casey, lets hope they move on and perhaps reestablish our 1980's dominance that at the time was absolutely stunning and memorably History making.

Referring to Noel's point, it's called sponsorship. If someone offered to pay me money to wear a baseball hat I'd do it like a shot! Really looking forward to next week the start of Sky's first ever coverage of the Masters. I've followed Ewan's tip gone for Ricky Fowler. Will also have a bet on Hunter Mahan KJ Choi.

Monty Is Amen corner the most challenging consecutive holes in golf? Rob Ninkovich Patriots Jersey Are you glad to get the holes out the way or sad it's over until the next time (if there is one!).

Michael Green says.

There has been some talk of players tinkering with their swings in the run up to the Masters in order to play the right to left shot that favours Augusta National, with Martin kaymer being one of the names mentioned.

Monty, have you ever tried to work on a new ball flight for a specific tournament?

And Butch, would you ever encourage one of your students to do so? It seemed Phil was trying to cut every hole in the opening round of Shell Housten Open with a Authentic Brandon Bolden Jersey view to next week.

It seems like a dangerous game to play to go messing with what works naturally for you just for one week, even if it is the Masters.

Graham Green Authentic Stephen Gostkowski Jersey says.

Do you not think that it is time for spitting to be completely banned in golf?

Also, do you think that professional golf would be better served if the relevant Tour was more open and published all penalties applied for infringements of Authentic Rob Ninkovich Jersey the Tours Code of Conduct?

For example. if a 250 fine was imposed for a spitting incident, it may appear to be a derisory amount and send out the wrong signal.

Keeping penalties secret, may only lead to suspicion among the public Brandon Bolden Jersey and professionals alike, that such a fine Stephen Gostkowski Jersey for an offence could be regarded as a mere 'slap on the wrist'.

I havent tried this yet, but the purse in this tutorial seemed Authentic Chandler Jones Jersey to Dont'a Hightower Patriots Jersey come out pretty well. They used Authentic Stevan Ridley Jersey . I thought it was particularly cool Authentic Dont'a Hightower Jersey that it was able to Stevan Ridley Patriots Jersey make the color lighter than the original.

I had a former roommate use it on the Dont'a Hightower Jersey seat of his moped. It was black and he dyed it red. It looked perfect at first, very Stevan Ridley Jersey vibrant, but it did start to chip off in very small areas by the seams. However, (1) I'm not sure if it was real leather or something like vinyl, and Chandler Jones Patriots Jersey (2) the moped was left outside in the harsh sun, rain, and elements in general. I think if you take care of the purse it shouldn't be a Chandler Jones Jersey problem. Or choose a similar color so if it chips its not too noticeable.

I have nothing against snails. I'm actually fond of the little critters. Nevertheless, I have unintentionally caused the death of hundreds of them lately. Like mushrooms, the weather conditions have been ideal for the little gastropods, bringing them into the daylight hours and into contact with the bottom of my shoes. That unnervingly crunchy sound under my feet every morning means that several lives are sacrificed so I can read the NY Times.

One muggy, October day, I noticed dozens of squished snails in the park roadway. Looking closer I saw dozens of them crossing the road headed in a northerly direction towards THNA at . a snail's pace. I immediately saw an opportunity to atone for all the snail deaths I had inadvertently caused. With a little help from my four year old granddaughter, Isaiah, we rescued a few dozen, helping them to safety in the sanctuary of THNA.

I recall reading a new satellite study that found grazing cows tend to face north (in North America), similar to Monarch butterflies and migratory bird species. Could snails be oriented to magnetic north, as well? My layman's observations say, yes. One thing is certain, the soils of THNA have been nourished by untold numbers of land and sea snails for millennia.

Signs of fall are creeping across the Tandy Hills. Leaves of Prairie flameleaf sumac (Rhus lanceolata) are living up to their name, crowned by dark red fruit. Bouquets of Prairie broomweed (Amphiachyris dracunculoides) carpet some hills, often interwoven with feathery red, Seep muhly grass (Muhlenbergia reverchonii). Long stems of Maximilian sunflowers (Helianthus maximiliani) and spiky, fall blooming Gay Feather (Liatris sp.) have reached majestic maturity. Three varieties of Aster fill in the gaps with purple and white blooms. A cheerful sprinkling of yellow Greenthread (Thelsperma filifolium) recalls the recently departed summer on the prairie.

On the dry side, stiff stalks of Purple coneflower (Echinacea angustifolia) stand like mute soldiers guarding the prairie. Piles of antler shaped Compassplant (Silphium laciniatum) and Rosinweed (Silphium albiflorum) drift back and forth through the grass as if pulled by a mysterious tidal force. The grass itself is oceanic in places. Big Bluestem (Turkey foot) (Andropogon gerardii) has made an amazing comeback and is already cheap ray ban sunglasses over 6 feet tall replica ray bans in some places. Indian Grass (Sorghastrum nutans) seems to be more widespread than recent years. Dried, Green Milkweed (Asclepias asperula) pods are blasting seeds skyward that drift in the breeze like alien spacecraft, searching for life.

But fall at THNA is also about brilliant, azure blue. Giant Blue sage (Salvia azurea var. grandiflora) is always shocking to see in November and is having a fantastic year at THNA.

You may recall the Texas Spiny Lizard report from last August, the one where I witnessed the laying of an egg clutch. I patiently waited and watched the site for over a month, hoping for a sign of baby lizards. None appeared. Curiosity got the best of me and I carefully dug under the dirt and rocks where the eggs were laid. Only empty eggshells remained except for a tiny, two inch long youngster who was still not ready to leave the nest. After a brief, hesitant look at me, it decided to scurry off to the big wide world before I could grab the camera. End of story.

Another side effect of the September rain is an influx of mosquitoes and other bugs which may explain why Dragonflies are extremely active right now. If you remain still for just a few minutes, the flying carnivores start zooming in like squadrons of WW2 bombers. To watch them feeding in the twilight at THNA is better than television.

September 30 was a special day for bird watching at THNA. I spotted a pair of Woodpeckers and the first Robin of the season. But the real show was watching a pair of Cooper's Hawks tag teaming in a battle for survival with a squirrel who ventured too far from home. The squirrel escaped within an inch of his life.

On October 11, I ventured over to the far eastern hill, the highest, and had the pleasure of watching a pair of Red Tailed Hawks, clutching one of the TV tower cables, in search of lunch. An territorially annoyed Mockingbird was pestering the heck out of them for reasons of her own. The little Mockingbirds' unflinching bravery reminds me of an inspirational quote by Jon Kabat Zinn that all Prairie Keepers should memorize:

"Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the taking of action in spite of fear."

It was one of those extra special fall afternoons at THNA. The sky was bluer than Hank Williams. The air was cool but not cold. Just a breath of wind. That lucky old ball of hydrogen was setting in slo mo over the Indian Grass. Signs of wildlife everywhere. Olive and I were caught up in wholesale ray bans the wonderful loneliness of Tandy Hills. Then suddenly.

"Eureka!," said a not so still small voice deep within my olfactory receptor cells. "We've met someplace before, sweetheart." I smelled her before I saw her. It was overpowering, seductive. I felt like a snail being pulled by an unseen magnetic force. I looked down and there she was, all by her gorgeous, lonesome self.

"Her" being, my first Nodding Ladies Tresses orchid (Spiranthes cernua) of the season and, looking better than ever, I might add. "Long time no smell, doll face," I silkily said. "Been about year since I had the pleasure of your company." She just nodded shyly while my heart pounded like a Barnett Shale gas compressor station. She looked nearly as good as she smelled.

To fully appreciate the goods on this gal, you have to get on her level and, believe me, it's worth the trouble. Horizontal is the only way to go. Nose to nose. This little temptress must've just arrived on the scene because she smelled like a million smackers. She had that new orchid smell that no one in their right nose can resist. I was helpless and she knew it. All I could think to say after that was, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh."

As Olive and I walked home in the moonlight, I felt a sudden urge for a smoke. Cool stuff on a fall day cheap replica ray bans in an outdoor setting with good food and live music. Check out the details here.

I used to worry that I had seen it all at Tandy Hills. That cheap wholesale ray bans I had run out of things to share with you. That I might even get bored with the place. But year after year, season after season, wet or dry, THNA continues to surprise me.

Like most people, when I first laid eyes on THNA, it was the big picture that swept me away. Waves of tall grass, colorful wildflowers, the occasional bird or mammal were the obvious things that grabbed my attention.

But something strange and unexpected happened along the way. Something like love. The deeper secrets of THNA began to reveal themselves. Previously unnoticed things that I used to just walk past began to come into sharper focus.

Although I still get a charge out of a shimmering cheap wholesale ray ban sunglasses field of Little Bluestem, I now see patches of green moss clinging in crevices of limestone outcrops, tiny wildflowers hidden in the grass, the nearly invisible Damselflies, and the gentle topography of the hills.

There is also something intangible I feel at THNA that I can't put in words. Something that keeps drawing me in and making me look deeper. Something that inspires me to protect it from harm and neglect. Some of you know exactly what that "something" is.

The question is whether this is a result of Obama's convention bounce, or Sen. John McCain's seemingly, shall we say, adventurous selection of an extremist running mate. Forget all the strikes against Gov. Sarah Palin her now renowned family troubles, her

connections to Republican lobbyists, her ardent desire to

slaughter animals ("Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and John McCain's vice presidential pick, is an enthusiastic hunter who has proposed legislation and cash incentives to encourage aerial wolf gunning, the controversial practice of shooting wolves from an aircraft."), and her

widely criticized appearance on a radio talk show ("The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish, and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician.").

My concern is what impact the selection of Palin has on the performance of the Republican ticket among voters. Clearly she has accomplished what McCain could not: energizing Fake Men Ray Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses Karl Rove's far right Christian evangelical base (as some fake oakleys outlet people would call it, the Republican wing of the Republican Party). I initially thought choosing her was a stroke of brilliance by the McCain camp as she would serve to woo some of the disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters into replica oakley sunglasses the Republican fold the independent soccer moms, working class voters buy fake oakley sunglasses and so on.

But in the intervening five days, so much cheap oakleys outlet has come out about her extreme political positions (on choice, on states rights, on hunting, on lobbying) it's difficult if not impossible to say Fake Men Ray Ban Cats Sunglasses if her promise to be a "servant of the heart", her unusual parenting style, her description of our soldiers' task in Iraq are helping or hurting her with this key demographic or not.

I like this analysis by the

Globe Mail:

"If there's one demographic group that holds the key to this election, it would be working class white women. Mr. McCain calculated that the untested Ms. Palin, mother of five with a reputation Fake Men Ray Ban Cats for feistiness, would help nail down the social conservatives and impress working class women. He nailed down the social conservatives with Ms. Palin's appointment. Working class white women will be a harder crowd to impress."

1. He/she provides appropriate vision, leadership and direction to ensure high standards of education for all the children and young people in their care so that they can become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. To achieve this, the headteacher works with and is accountable to others to ensure that the school is organised and managed to meet its aims and targets, and is a creative, disciplined learning environment. Each school will present different challenges reflecting the school's circumstances Fake Men Ray Ban Mirror Sunglasses and the communities they serve.2. The Standard for Headship:2.1 The purpose of this Standard is to define the leadership and management capabilities of headteachers. It defines the professional actions required of effective headteachers, acknowledges the changing context in which they operate and takes account of the many challenges which they face. It serves to inform, challenge and enthuse headteachers, and those aspiring to headship, and to offer a template against which they can match their experiences and skills in order to determine their strengths and areas for development.2.2 The Standard analyses the role of the headteacher into Professional actions, and three essential elements which are:Strategic vision, values and aims,Knowledge and understanding, andPersonal qualities and interpersonal skills.2.3 Although the professional actions and the essential elements are listed and detailed separately, it is important to emphasise that in professional practice, they are always fully interdependent. How they interdepend in practice will reflect the individual contexts in which different headteachers work. The diagram below outlines the relationship between the elements of the Standard and the central responsibilities of the headteacher.3. Professional actions of the headteacher:3.1 This element outlines the main areas of professional action for headteachers. If headteachers are to be effective, they require both to lead and to manage. Leadership develops shared vision, inspires and creates commitment and embraces risk and innovation. Management develops systems which limit uncertainty, even out differences, and improve consistency and predictability in delivering the service.3.2 Five main areas of professional action are identified below by the Standard. However in practice most actions and decisions taken Fake Men Ray Ban Gradient Sunglasses by headteachers involve several areas at the same time. It would be difficult, for example, to lead learning and teaching without also leading people; difficult to lead change and improvement without also using resources effectively. The outline of each of the five areas included here in the Standard is further described through the examples in the Illustrations section. The order in which they are described does not imply any particular hierarchy or priority.3.3 The effective practice of headship involves using the three essential elements strategic Fake Men Ray Ban Mix Match Sunglasses vision, values and aims; knowledge and understanding; and personal qualities and interpersonal skills in making appropriate decisions and taking the appropriate action in specific school situations to enable children and young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.3.4 Headteachers require to work within a broad range of accountabilities to achieve school goals in order to serve the best interests of children and young people. Headteachers:3.4.1 Lead and manage learning and teachingEnsuring that effective learning and teaching takes place is a central responsibility of headship. Headteachers develop a culture of respect and good behaviour, create an appropriate ethos, set high expectations, support and encourage good practice and regularly monitor and evaluate the quality of learning in the school. They embrace the principles of inclusion, have an understanding of the impact of discrimination and poverty, develop strategies to counter these and provide pastoral care to children and young people. They offer effective leadership and management of the overall curriculum, to ensure that school based decisions are Fake Men Ray Ban Mirror in accordance with the general principles of good curriculum design outlined in "A Curriculum for Excellence".3.4.2 Lead and develop peopleHeadteachers promote ambition; demonstrate a clear commitment to collegiality and to developing, empowering and supporting effective teams and individuals. This includes building school capacity by developing leadership in others. By engaging with those in the school community and beyond, they build a learning community which supports achievement and attainment. In taking these actions, headteachers work within the structure of employment legislation, national and local agreements, and policies governing employment.3.4.3 Lead change and improvementHeadteachers support and maintain existing good practice and encourage and promote constant improvement in the development of children and young people. They demonstrate personal commitment to continuous improvement through self evaluation, together with skills in problem solving, creative thinking, strategic planning, in implementing change, in the use of quality assurance strategies to judge the need for and effectiveness of change, and in providing support for staff, children and young people and parents.3.4.4 Use resources Fake Men Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses effectivelyHeadteachers make best strategic and operational use of available resources to create, maintain and Fake Men Ray Ban Mix Match monitor an appropriate learning environment for effective learning and teaching, and to support continuous improvement. This should include appropriate delegation of tasks to members of the senior management team and other staff. In taking these actions, headteachers take due account of audit, Fake Men Ray Ban Aviator child safety, health and safety requirements, human resource management and other legislative and policy requirements in relation to public service and public spending.3.4.5 Build communityHeadteachers develop and maintain partnerships with parents, children and young people, other Fake Men Ray Ban Gradient services and agencies and in doing so extend the educational vision to embrace an agenda of lifelong learning. They create a culture of respect and inclusion and a common commitment to the broader community and to the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral, social and cultural wellbeing of children and young people and their families.4. Essential elements:The next three elements in the Standard are expressed through effective professional action. Different headteachers in different situations call on different 'blends' of these elements.4.1 Strategic vision, values and aimsThis element is concerned with the headteacher's professional values and commitment to children and young people, to equality of opportunity, to ethical practice, democratic values and to lifelong learning. Headteachers exemplify in their personal and professional life, and in the way they lead the learning community, the vision and ethos they seek to develop throughout the school.4.1.1 Vision and standards:Headteachers lead in the creation of a shared strategic vision and aim for the school, which inspire and motivate children and young people, staff and all members of the school community and its partners and sets high standards for every learner.
