Is Tiger Woods Back in Top Form? -plus about Abeer Nehme
It was a different Tiger Woods in action at the Wyndham Championship today in Greensboro,North Carolina than we have seen the past few years.Uplifted by the supportive crowd,Woods,who is 39,shot an 11 under par 65 to tie for the lead with an unknown,Tom Hoge,26,and looked to have a good chance at his first win since the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013.Indeed,Woods must win or possibly finish second to go on to the first of the PGA Playoffs next weekend.
Tiger Woods is second on the all-time PGA win list with his 79 career victories,behind only Sam Snead,who had 82.Woods has never played in the Wyndham before,but Snead won it an astonishing eight times.
It was a grind day,Woods said.I hung in there with my speed and it came out OK.The people here have been just fantastic.The proximity of the players to the fans-it's a vey intimate atmosphere.
The greens are getting faster.We were all surprised on the first hole,right out of the gate.I came here to win it,and right now I'm in good shape.*
Tonight is featured another song from the Lebanese musicologist and singer Abeer Nehme-yes,she changed the English transliteration of her first name from "Abir" to "Abeer."Ms.Nehme,35,performs traditional Middle Eastern music;sacred music from the Syriac Orthodox,Syriac-Maronite and Byzantine traditions;ancient Syriac and Maronite chants,and even some opera and Western music.She has a Bachelor's degree in Oriental Singing and a Master's in Musicology from Universite Saint-Esprit de Kaslik in Mount Lebanon.She also has a diploma with high distinction in advanced traditional Arab music performance.
Abeer Nehme has performed at the Vatican,the Fes Festival 2013 of World Sacred Music in Morocco and the Festival Orientales in Paris.She won the 2007 Honor award from the Apostoliki Diakonia in Greece,and the 2010 Murex D'Or distinction award.She has also given master classes and appeared on The National Turkish Television as permanent guest and Leading Performer for one year on the cultural music programme "One Thousand and One Nights."

Special Movie Presentation:His Secret Family 2015 Lifetime
This blog is pleased to present its first full movie,"His Secret Family " starring Haylie Duff and David O'Connell.Haylie Duff is Hilary Duff's older sister,and was mentioned briefly in an earlier post.Upon watching the picture,Haylie's acting was found to be very good.The story itself was considered to be a fairly well-written suspense yarn.Really,it wasn't bad for a TV movie.It gets a *** out of 4 rating.Maybe the script is a bit of a stretch or a little flat at times,but it largely succeeded,in The Taylor Star-friday late post's view.
Once again,it's a pleasure to present this Lifetime movie event to you,dear readers.

The Latest on Hilary Duff;WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Golf
Tonight is featured the third in our series of Hilary Duff's songs from her new album "Breathe In,Breathe Out."It is "Tatoo."Indeed,she actually does have a set of small tattoos on her right arm,which were visible when she visited Universal Studios with her older sister Haylie on Thursday.They were there to do an interview for the entertainment magazine show "Extra."The sisters are both mothers and are promoting their project called Sisterhood of Motherhood Campaign,which encourages women to support one another during childbirth,not criticise each other over name selection or other matters.*
Earlier Thursday,the two appeared on KTLA's Morning Show.Hilary,dressed in a low cut thin white tee,black leather pants and black heels,was wearing her blonde hair in the same layered style we see in the videos.
There's been an eight year gap since his last LP,which has astonished her fans when they hear how good "Breathe In,Breathe Out" is.It's her first LP for RCA Records as well.The new album was exciting,she said.It was a whole learning process for me.I felt like I was doing it all over again as a new person.It was a little bit of a struggle,but it was a very big release.*
Released on 12 June 2015,the LP debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart.Hilary,27,was born in Houston,Texas and later moved to Hollywood with her mother and sister when the girls' talent seemed to require it.They both had been in a touring BalletMet production and local theatre,and would go on to appear in commercials and do modeling jobs in Hollywood,to the point of being homeschooled.Hilary's big break came at the Disney channel,where she starred in the number 1 TV series "Lizzie McGuire" and "The Lizzie McGuire Movie."
At the same time,Disney realised she could sing and steered her into the Disney recording studio as well,where she recorded a Christmas album.That experience led to a contract with Hollywood Records and her second album "Metamorphosis."It went to the top of the charts and has sold more than 5 million copies to date.Two more albums followed with varying degrees of success,as did more TV and film work such as the movies "Agent Cody Banks" and "Cheaper by the Dozen."
From 2010 to 2013,she wrote a trilogy of young adult novels starting with "Elixir,"which topped the New York Times bestseller list.
The darker side of stardom also befell her when she was stalked by a Russian immigrant,who got a sentence of 117 days in prison for his crime.
Hilary married the now-retired Canadian NHL player Mike Cromie in 2011 and they had a son,Luca,in 2012.She filed for divorce in February.
In 2015,she has starred in the TVLand channel series "Younger."How many other stars have risen to the top ranks of both cinema,books,music and television?*
At the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron,Ohio,American Jim Furyk topped the leader board at publication time with his second round eight under par 66.Shane Lowry of Ireland was in second and Bubba Watson of the USA was third.Players were hindered by the dry condition of the greens and the narrow fairways at the Firestone Country Club.World Number One Rory McIlroy is still recovering from a torn tendon,but will play in next week's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler,Wisconsin.
