The privacy concerns associated with online social networking sites have been in the news quite a bit lately. The fingers of blame are being pointed squarely at Facebook, for the most part, as much for it's ubiquitousness as its practices. While I'm happy to leave the question of Facebook's moral obligation to provide privacy to the deontology students, in this column I'm going to cover how you can at least change your privacy settings to reduce your exposure.

For golfers of all skill levels, one of the easiest ways to knock strokes off your score is to improve your chipping from around the greens. Chipping the ball close can help you save par and lower your scores. When approaching a shot close to the green, the first thing you should do is decide what type of shot you are going to play. The three most common types of chip shots are the bump and run, pitch shot, and lob shot or flop shot.

The first really warm Saturday in a blatant attempt at putting off writing this piece, I wandered down Victoria Ave. A true amble. No purpose but walking down to the end and back. I ended up finding people sitting at tables in the sun and taking the same walk that I hadn’t seen since fall.

If you’re a fan of the mornings, you may have spotted our currently solo Beautification Attendant from afar – orange tabard, large smile, quietly maneuvering his cart round the streets of Fernie. And whilst he’s doing his thing, he has one desire on his mind – “To make Fernie as beautiful as I can.” I for one thinks he’s hit the nail on the head.

I’m looking for something new to try for the summer. I’ve walked or cycled past the Disc Golf Course in James White Park many times and thought I should try it out, so that seems like a good place to start.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Healing
Sometimes a situation cannot heal until you release the challenge completely. Your worries will soon be over, a healing has occurred. To realize this healing you must stop focusing on what’s wrong and instead affirm that, “Everything is in Divine and perfect order right now.” You are a natural healer and your thoughts have manifested into form. The powerful effects of your healing work touches many lives.
